[12:00] <johan_> soundray: 2000mhz Pentium 4, 512 mb rdram memory (maybe that's it? rdrams are dead expensive though so I can't really upgrade), and 2 ide harddrives. ati radeon 9600xt, but the graphics feel neat and fast
[12:00] <cpk2> johan_: most likely it is gnome, you could try using fluxbox or something and see if you see a difference
[12:00] <epimer> i tried to edit my menu.lst and broke grub. please someone tell me how to boot ubuntu from the grub command line
[12:01] <Rikkimaru_> soundray: found a decent list on the wiki :D
[12:01] <soundray> johan_: what is it exactly that feels slow?
[12:01] <Cntryboy> crimsun: if u had 2.1KB max and averaged 1.5KB would you wanna click on ever link that was gave to u?
[12:01] <johan_> cpk2: I've seen some screenshots and I don't really like what I see. Is it possible to make it look pretty much like gnome? I really like the way gnome looks
[12:01] <Cntryboy> takes 10 min for me to load em
[12:02] <Viper550> I have a question, which RPM package contains SUSE's new Industrial icon set?
[12:02] <johan_> soundray: for example when I open a terminal it takes a few seconds to get the username@computername thing to show up, has never been like that before
[12:02] <crimsun> Cntryboy: I have 3.4 KB/s max on a GOOD day, so no, I certainly don't click everything, and even then I prefer links/w3m
[12:02] <jrib> Viper550: #suse is probably a better place for that
[12:02] <Viper550> They, wern't reponding
[12:02] <Viper550> I mean responding
[12:02] <crimsun> Cntryboy: however, the idea is orthogonal to your connection. There's documentation that explains the difference; you just have to read it.
[12:03] <epimer> could somebody please walk me through booting with grub, since i broke it? i've commandeered my gf's laptop to plead for advice
[12:03] <Cntryboy> crimsun: but in one sentence you couldn't just tell me?
[12:03] <soundray> johan_: have you got any processes hogging CPU? Check with top
[12:03] <Cntryboy> lol
[12:03] <tcv> When one exports to the path, does that append or replace?
[12:03] <tcv> When one exports to the path, does that append or replace?
[12:04] <zorglub> if you dou "export PATH=XXX", it replaces
[12:04] <Cntryboy> crimsun: btw if ur using dialup, do u know how to share a pppd connection with internet which im on now and having a caller id program working at the same time to screen calls? I can't figure it out, if one works other is locked and vice versa
[12:04] <zorglub> to append, use export PATH=$(PATH):XXX"
[12:04] <metaj> erUSUL are you steel there
[12:04] <tcv> ah
[12:05] <johan_> soundray: rhythmbox at 10% (isn't that too much for a minimized music player?) and then Xorg at 2%
[12:05] <tcv> zorglub: do you know why the second one works?
[12:05] <five_laptop> Cntryboy, you would need some sort of call waiting service
[12:05] <soundray> zorglub: that won't work for tcv
[12:05] <Cntryboy> five_laptop: I have call waiting on my phone now, windows xp works fine I use callwave
[12:05] <crimsun> Cntryboy: I disable all that mess
[12:05] <five_laptop> Cntryboy, exactly... you would need some sort of linux client for a service like that
[12:05] <johan_> soundray: is there some equalivent of windows services that you can disable? when shutting down you always see "shutting down bittorrent tracker" for example, I don't need that
[12:05] <Cntryboy> but from what ive read linux can't share pppd connection with connection and caller id at same time
[12:06] <Cntryboy> which is lame
[12:06] <Jimmey> !nvidia
[12:06] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:06] <Cntryboy> five_laptop: linux client? u mean like call wave for linux
[12:06] <kakado> what is the difference between linux-image-2.6.25-amd-generic and ...-k8 ?
[12:06] <soundray> johan_: there is a package called bum, perhaps you want to look into that (no pun intended)
[12:06] <soundray> !info bum
[12:06] <ubotu> bum: graphical runlevel editor. In repository universe, is optional. Version 2.1.5-1build1 (dapper), package size 74 kB, installed size 484 kB
[12:06] <tcv> soundray: why won't that work?
[12:06] <Aesop> Hey, is mail 'n stuff for Thunderbird stored in /home/use/.mozilla-thunderbird? (So, if I copy that folder, will t contain all my mail and settings?)
[12:06] <Cntryboy> five_laptop: do ya know of any? thats free
[12:06] <johan_> soundray: thanks, I'll check it out
[12:06] <five_laptop> nope
[12:06] <epimer> i tried to edit my /boot/grub/menu.lst and it was an empty file. is that normal?
[12:07] <echeese> how can I get my wacom to work with the gimp?
[12:07] <Cntryboy> well sheet thats not helping me lol
[12:07] <soundray> tcv: $(PATH) will attempt to run a command called PATH and insert it into the export statement. It will abort with "command not found"
[12:07] <Jimmey> epimer, not really.
[12:07] <soundray> tcv: $PATH or ${PATH} will work
[12:08] <tcv> soundray: can you explain the difference between the two commands? why does one delete while the other appends?
[12:08] <epimer> Jimmey: there was also /boot/grub/menu.lst~, which looked right (it had the list i see when grub starts up). i commented out the options i don't use, and now it's broken
[12:08] <epimer> how do i fix it?
[12:08] <soundray> tcv: but usually you want to pre-pend, not append additional paths. So, better to do 'export PATH=/additional/path:$PATH'
[12:09] <forevertheuni> hi..when I do bootstrap in svn releases I'm always having this: src/Makefile.am:4: invalid unused variable name: `AM_LDFLAGS'
[12:09] <forevertheuni> what can I do?
[12:09] <Jimmey> epimer, broken?
[12:09] <five_laptop> Cntryboy, that is a very specialized service that probably wont be worked on in Linux, considering the low demand anymore for anything dialup related
[12:10] <Cntryboy> eehhh
[12:10] <Cntryboy> someone needs to make one
[12:10] <epimer> Jimmey , i rebooted and now instead of my newly edited boot list, i'm on a grub command line
[12:10] <Cntryboy> u think its low demand
[12:10] <Cntryboy> but i bet mannnny out there just like us
[12:10] <johan_> does midi work in vmware?
[12:10] <epimer> and i don't really know what i'm doing (as should be obvious by me breaking it in the first place...)
[12:11] <primal> okay guys. i'm back. it's busted! good thing i have another computer around :)
[12:11] <soundray> tcv: try these commands: 'a="Hello" ; a="$a World" ; echo $a' -- that should clarify it for you
[12:12] <tcv> soundray: thx
[12:12] <primal> i rebooted in recovery mode, typed in "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[12:12] <ScatterBrain> Can someone tell  me how to control the order that modules load in initrd?
[12:13] <primal> thought i got it all configured correctly, but apparently not
[12:14] <epimer> easier question: what command do i type in the grub command line to list the available hard drives?
[12:14] <Ropechoborra> How do i extract a .rar file??
[12:14] <Cntryboy> does anyone know if theres movie fixes? for example when u download from apollon or any p2p client and u can't view a movie..
[12:14] <Nekow42> !rar
[12:14] <ubotu> rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FileCompression

[12:15] <Nekow42> Cntryboy: Try VLC
[12:15] <Cntryboy> vlc won't fix em
[12:15] <Cntryboy> it plays em
[12:15] <Cntryboy> like for example divxfix for windows
[12:15] <kakado> !kernel
[12:15] <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
[12:15] <Cntryboy> or mpeg fixers ect
[12:15] <soundray> epimer: you could do a 'find vmlinuz-2.6.15'; that will tell you where bootable kernels of that version are
[12:15] <johan_> In windows I have a quick search on google with the keyword google and now I've added one in ubuntu. The only thing that is disturbing me is that when I type only google in windows, I get to the googel start page but in ubuntu, I get to a google search for %s. I want it to be like in windows. How do I fix?
[12:15] <primal> does anyone know how to troubleshoot xorg.conf files?
[12:15] <epimer> ty soundray
[12:16] <kakado> !linux-image
[12:16] <ubotu> I know nothing about linux-image - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:16] <primal> i just put in a new video card and screwed it up
[12:16] <kakado> !linux

[12:16] <chucky> im trying to run easy ubuntu
[12:17] <Anticamper> heya guys
[12:17] <Anticamper> ^___^
[12:17] <chucky> i put in the comands into the terminal and it said it failed on a system sanity check
[12:17] <primal> please, anybody?
[12:18] <chucky> gave me an error saying you must manually run dpkg --configure -a so i did
[12:18] <soundray> primal: what kind of video card?
[12:18] <LjL> primal: have you tried just "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"?
[12:18] <chucky> and now its hung up on "setting up flashplugin-nonfree (7.0.63.3ubuntu3) ..."
[12:18] <Anticamper> i just instaled ubunto and everything is going smooth except i can't get my wmp54g WIFI card to work, anyone free to help me? i have time
[12:18] <tmccrary> apt-get -f install
[12:19] <tmccrary> just that
[12:19] <soundray> chucky: how long for?
[12:19] <chucky> 10mins
[12:19] <epimer> "find /vmlinuz" tells me (hd1,3). so i type kernel (hd1,3)/vmlinuz, then boot, and it starts then stops at "kernel panic"
[12:19] <epimer> what's going on?
[12:19] <tmccrary> primal, whats wrong?
[12:19] <soundray> epimer: you also need to give it an initrd
[12:20] <nofear> hola people :)
[12:20] <epimer> soundray, i don't know what that means
[12:20] <epimer> trying to follow a tutorial/the manual and getting lost
[12:21] <soundray> epimer: do a 'find initrd' and feed one of the resulting files to grub with 'initrd /initrd-2.6.15-whatever' before you type 'boot'
[12:21] <soundray> epimer: and after you've entered the 'kernel ...' line
[12:21] <Orbit45244> Somebody help me please, when my computer is booting up with the 6.06 i386 Live CD, it goes through some operations which come back successful, and then it shows a black screen that says "Extracting Linux.... Ok, starting kernel" and then it stops booting.
[12:22] <epimer> soundray "find initrd" returned error 15: file not found :/
[12:22] <soundray> epimer: 'find /initrd'?
[12:23] <soundray> Orbit45244: could be a faulty CD. If it's not, look at the help screens at the boot prompt.
[12:23] <epimer> soundray, file not found still
[12:23] <soundray> epimer: 'find /boot/initrd'?
[12:24] <epimer> soundray , same again
[12:24] <soundray> epimer: strange -- is this an ubuntu installation?
[12:24] <Orbit45244> It's not a faulty CD, because the MD5's match
[12:25] <Tomatix> do someone has any howtos to create a ubuntu/debian server as a small router?
[12:25] <epimer> yep
[12:25] <soundray> Orbit45244: then it might be an incompatibility which might be fixed with one of the workarounds offered on the help screens.
[12:25] <epimer> and it was all working great until i tried to edit menu.lst and found it empty
[12:25] <kakado> I couldnt find info on the web about differences between linux-image-2.6-amd64-generic and linux-image-2.6-amd64-k8. Correct me but if I have a single CPU K8 processor this should be right ?
[12:26] <soundray> kakado: generic works on more machines, k8 is (slightly) optimized for Athlon64, Athlon X2 and Opteron CPUs.
[12:27] <Orbit45244> I have a Compaq computer, and there doesn't appear to be any workarounds on ther help screens.
[12:27] <bla|patrick> gn8
[12:27] <kakado> soundray, thx
[12:27] <bla|patrick> gonna go :)
[12:27] <bla|patrick> see ya
[12:27] <soundray> epimer: it sounds like you may have accidentally deleted vital part of the root system...
[12:27] <soundray> s/part/parts/
[12:28] <soundray> Orbit45244: test with the 'vga=771' option.
[12:28] <epimer> all i did was gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst~ and comment out the options i didn't want (the older kernel versions), leaving the current version and its failsafe mode, along with the memtest and my XP option
[12:28] <chucky> safe i got everything i needed to work
[12:28] <chucky> awsome
[12:29] <soundray> epimer: well, first of all, you shouldn't edit /boot/grub/menu.lst~ -- that's a backup copy.
[12:29] <Orbit45244> soundray: okay.  But I'm not running on a laptop.
[12:29] <soundray> epimer: then, the part of the file that says "AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST" is not supposed to be edited.
[12:29] <epimer> oh. that'll be it, then.
[12:30] <epimer> and i guess i can't edit it again without actually booting to my ubuntu install
[12:30] <chucky> im using a 16meg nvidia geforce4 which has a vga and composite out so i can plug it into a tv
[12:30] <soundray> epimer: to remove those options, you should remove the unused kernel packages
[12:30] <chucky> anyone know if this will auto send video to the tv or do i need to config it
[12:30] <chucky> and if i do what do i do/where is the display settings?
[12:31] <epimer> ok. lesson learned: no more messing with things i don't understand
[12:31] <soundray> epimer: you could try the fix from the wiki that you do when a Windows installation ruins grub. Watch ubotu:
[12:31] <soundray> !grub
[12:31] <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
[12:31] <epimer> ty soundray
[12:32] <soundray> epimer: no promises, though...
[12:32] <chucky> setting up dual screens anyone?
[12:32] <chucky> one tft and one tv
[12:32] <epimer> could be a fresh install for me!
[12:32] <epimer> just when i unbroke compiz, too...
[12:32] <soundray> epimer: or rescue attempts with the Desktop CD
[12:32] <epimer> thanks for your help and patience, soundray
[12:32] <epimer> a better plan
[12:32] <soundray> epimer: you're welcome
[12:32] <Orbit45244> uhm, how do I input the "vga=771" option when I hit F6?
[12:33] <MartinvDK> I have some difficult problems...
[12:33] <polpak> Orbit45244: are you doing the install?
[12:33] <Orbit45244> no
[12:33] <soundray> Orbit45244: the kernel name (I forget what it is), followed by a space, then vga=771
[12:33] <Orbit45244> just live cd
[12:33] <MartinvDK> I've been struggling with this for days, and gave up at last (a month ago), now I want to try again.
[12:33] <codecaine> anybody had a problem with flash websites not playing sound?
[12:34] <Orbit45244> so I just put it after the "--"?
[12:34] <MartinvDK> It's about getting nvidia-drivers to work, any hardcore linuxers?
[12:34] <Sub> i got my nvidia drivers working fine
[12:34] <ardchoille> What is the proper way to add a factoid to the bot?
[12:34] <MartinvDK> I'm pretty newb in linux, I have to say
[12:34] <soundray> codecaine: I think it happens when your sound device is blocked. Firefox doesn't work with esd now or something along those lines. Disable esd and it should work.
[12:35] <Sub> MartinvDK, google "easy ubuntu"
[12:35] <Sub> that can install nvidia drivers automatically for you
[12:35] <MartinvDK> well. I have tried that
[12:35] <soundray> MartinvDK: have you followed the wiki instructions? Watch ubotu:
[12:35] <MartinvDK> it did NOT work at all
[12:35] <madewokherd> how can I set up ubuntu to let me run xinit as a normal user?

[12:35] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:35] <MartinvDK> Arg I have tried all these
[12:35] <codecaine> how do you disable esd?
[12:36] <MartinvDK> I must be doing something wrong though: If I change nv to nvidia in xorg.conf, linux FREEZES a boot
[12:36] <soundray> MartinvDK: post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[12:36] <MartinvDK> or right before boot
[12:36] <Sub> MartinvDK, try "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx"
[12:36] <satafterh> what do i use to set up my dsl connection(password)
[12:36] <Sub> then restart
[12:36] <Sub> if you see a nvidia splash before gdm then you are using the nvidia drivers
[12:36] <soundray> Sub: MartinvDK has followed the wiki -- I doubt that your suggestion will help
[12:37] <ardchoille> MartinvDK: I would like to politely suggest that you go back to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto and make sure you didn't miss a step. I have used that how to and have installed the nvidia drivers on more than 50 machines.
[12:37] <MartinvDK> I will do that
[12:38] <soundray> ardchoille: wow, 50 machines with ubuntu, 50 machines with nVidia cards -- I don't know whether to envy or pity you ;)
[12:38] <Coffeegrindah> can anyone help with a quick and dirty folder sharing issue?
[12:38] <Coffeegrindah> btw samba is up
[12:38] <gregg__> soundray: well, the nvidia binary drivers are pretty good
[12:39] <ardchoille> soundray: I build computers, install Ubuntu and then donate them to friends and family.. I've gotten pretty good with the nvidia drivers :)
[12:40] <nekostar> nyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[12:40] <nekostar> anyone got evolution working with gmail ?
[12:40] <Coffeegrindah> soundray: I've seen a few things (haven't tried for drivers) but you may ebven want to look into BUMPS
[12:40] <nekostar> i can recieve stuff from my box easy
[12:40] <nekostar> but gettting it to send is a no-go
[12:40] <ardchoille> nekostar: Yes, I have a link, hold on
[12:40] <soundray> ardchoille: how friendly do we have to be before you donate a computer to me? ;)
[12:40] <Coffeegrindah> that is if yer having a driver prob
[12:40] <Sakunix> hi all anyone know how to get my GeForce FX5700 VIVO graphics card functioning properly?
[12:40] <nekostar> ardchoille, ive got a few links :/
[12:40] <Sub> nekostar, sounds like you havent set the smtp settings,
[12:40] <nekostar> configged like they sayand its deadoz
[12:40] <nekostar> i have Sub
[12:40] <Sub> have you done POP3 AND SMTP?
[12:41] <nekostar> smtp.gmail.com
[12:41] <ardchoille> nekostar: I wrote this one so I know it works
[12:41] <nekostar> ok
[12:41] <nekostar> ill delete the acct and start over with yer howto ardchoille
[12:42] <PanicFo> whats a good graphical app to manage processes?
[12:42] <Sub> PanicFo, system monitor
[12:42] <ardchoille> nekostar: Here is the informatin that I used to setup Evo with gmail: http://natsci.eckerd.edu/~bordelsr/gnomehelp/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Gnome212.EvolutionGmail
[12:42] <PanicFo> something that shows all the app running?
[12:42] <Coffeegrindah> SubL: agreed
[12:42] <Sub> PanicFo, system/admin/System Monitor
[12:42] <soundray> Coffeegrindah: I'm alright. Actually, I have an ATI problem: System freezes when I switch away from the console where X runs.
[12:42] <PanicFo> system monitor doesnt show all processes running
[12:42] <Sub> yes it does
[12:43] <ardchoille> nekostar: It seems they took part of my how to out, I wish people wouldn't delete stuff from my how-to's because I know this works.
[12:43] <PanicFo> ive got apache running and it doesnt show up in there?
[12:43] <kilowat>   /server irc.spnet.net
[12:43] <Sub> PanicFo, apache if it runs through xinetd or inetd wont run until it is called
[12:44] <Coffeegrindah> soundray: cool I just came across BUMPS, Seems to smooth out alot of problems while taking your hands off things.. i gotta get the word out there at how easy multimedia config is after taht
[12:44] <PanicFo> ok
[12:44] <Sub> start accessing your local web pages and then look
[12:44] <ardchoille> soundray: I help friends, family and businesses switch from Windows to Linux. You are already on Linux, so you wouldn't need my help ;)
[12:44] <nekostar> nope
[12:44] <nekostar> no go ardchoille
[12:44] <nekostar> says improper authentication
[12:44] <nekostar> there's also no port option in evolution
[12:44] <PanicFo> yep there we go :D
[12:44] <nekostar> and using colons doesnt help
[12:44] <PanicFo> thnx
[12:45] <PanicFo> im new to this whole linux thing
[12:45] <ardchoille> nekostar: you set the port with pop.gmail.com:995 in the server field.
[12:45] <Sub> nekostar, you jus need to tell its secure SMTP, gmail uses the secure smtp ports
[12:45] <MartinvDK> When I follow this nvidia-guide, I want to be sure nothing will go wrong now... Is it a good idea to delete the old drivers and start from a zero-point?
[12:45] <soundray> Coffeegrindah: have you got a link for that? Can't seem to locate it on the web.

[12:48] <trev__> does anyone know how to install ut2004 in linux
[12:48] <z0r1> Does Ubuntu not support WPA?
[12:48] <ForeClosure> errrrr
[12:48] <ForeClosure> checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes

[12:48] <ForeClosure> See `config.log' for more details.
[12:48] <ForeClosure> whats that mean ?
[12:48] <z0r1> That means your about to get kicked
[12:49] <ardchoille> nekostar: Isn't there a button that reads "Check what the server accepts" or some such?
[12:49] <Kyral> !ubotu tell ForeClosure about compile
[12:49] <nekostar> ardchoille, mind if i dcc u a pic of the screen in question ??
[12:49] <ForeClosure> !compile
[12:49] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[12:49] <nekostar> nyaa ?
[12:49] <tailsfan> I Installed alsa and I still get no sound
[12:49] <z0r1> Does anyone know if ubuntu supports WPA wireless encryption?
[12:49] <soundray> z0r1: ubuntu has basic WPA support. It doesn't work with all wireless drivers, though.
[12:49] <PreZLaptop> hehe, IRC from the train :)
[12:49] <ardchoille> nekostar: How about posting the pic on http://www.imageshack.us/
[12:50] <nekostar> i dont wanna join ~_~
[12:50] <tailsfan> any ideas?
[12:50] <ardchoille> nekostar: there is no join
[12:50] <Dark_Knight_209> nekostar, you odn't gotta join
[12:50] <Dark_Knight_209> dont*
[12:50] <soundray> z0r1: for rt25xx, for example, you have to update the driver module yourself to have WPA support
[12:50] <z0r1> Well I can see all these wifi hotspots (including mine) but all I see is a place to enter stuff for WEP not WPA ... where do I go to for that/
[12:50] <ardchoille> PreZLaptop: IRC from the train? That's cool :)
[12:50] <nekostar> inuyasha-lives.com/shots
[12:50] <nekostar> try that
[12:51] <z0r1> How do I know if I have rt25xx ?
[12:51] <Kyral> WPA-Supplicant
[12:51] <CarlFK> help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo
[12:51] <Orbit45244> well, the command "vga=771" doesn't fix my earlier problem.  By the way, boot gets stuck at "Adding Live CD User"
[12:51] <nekostar> and of course i changed my username to user@ for this purpose
[12:51] <ardchoille> nekostar: See that button that says "check for supported types"?
[12:51] <z0r1> I think that's all I needed CarlFK ... Thank you
[12:51] <CarlFK> z0r1: look at the bottem first
[12:51] <PreZLaptop> ardchoille, heh, Verizon's BroadBand Access .. I got it working under linux consistently
[12:52] <ardchoille> PreZLaptop: Wowsers!
[12:52] <nekostar> ardchoille, yeah tried it
[12:52] <nekostar> plain is what everyone says it should be
[12:52] <z0r1> Dang .. I'm using Dapper
[12:52] <tcv> PreZLaptop: wow
[12:52] <CarlFK> z0r1: the "network management framework" part
[12:52] <nekostar> though plain and login are supposedly supported
[12:52] <ardchoille> nekostar: That button should return info to Evo and change the feilds to the correct settings. That is what was in my how-to. If that isn't working, then I don't know what to say :(
[12:52] <AlexHess> hi
[12:52] <trev__> does ubuntu have a automounter
[12:53] <ardchoille> trev__: yes
[12:53] <Coffeegrindah> trev_ yup
[12:53] <soundray> z0r1: look into network-manager-gnome as well
[12:53] <soundray> !info network-manager-gnome
[12:53] <ubotu> network-manager-gnome: network management framework (GNOME Frontend). In repository main, is optional. Version 0.6.2-0ubuntu7 (dapper), package size 234 kB, installed size 1556 kB
[12:53] <trev__> whats it called
[12:53] <ardchoille> trev__: I think Ubuntu uses hald
[12:53] <Orbit45244> help! when I boot up Ubuntu using the i386 Live CD on my Compaq PC, it gets stuck at "Adding Live CD User".
[12:53] <trev__> how do you use it
[12:54] <GarretS> Is there a mail server installable via Synaptic?
[12:54] <Nukeador> hi all
[12:54] <MartinvDK> I've just downloaded a new kernel, do I have to install anything.. and what is kernel headers, do I have to install them?
[12:54] <polpak> Orbit45244: that step generally takes a while. are you sure it's stuck?
[12:54] <nekostar> just say evolution fails
[12:54] <ardchoille> trev__: in gnome, it's System -> Preferences -> Removable Drives and Media
[12:55] <trev__> ok, thx
[12:55] <Orbit45244> mart: yes, it switches to the black screen that says "Extracting Linux.... Ok, booting up the kernel"
[12:55] <soundray> GarretS: postfix is the recommended one, I think
[12:55] <Nukeador> i dont understand why a simple text page exported into pdf takes up 340 kb. O_o
[12:55] <GarretS> !postfix
[12:55] <ubotu> postfix is the default Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) for Ubuntu. Read more about setting it up here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Postfix or here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PostfixBasicSetupHowto
[12:55] <polpak> MartinvDK:  you shouldn't need to download the kernel yourself. there are packages in the repositories for them
[12:55] <Gullstad> !irssi
[12:55] <ubotu> IRSSI is a command line interface IRC application ( "sudo apt-get install irssi" without the quotes to try it out )
[12:55] <soundray> Nukeador: how did you export?
[12:55] <MartinvDK> polpak, but it was downloaded with the update :S
[12:55] <emontesinos> Alguien sabe espaol
[12:56] <Nukeador> soundray, using OO 2.0, export to pdf
[12:56] <Nukeador> emontesinos -> #ubuntu-es
[12:56] <Orbit45244> mart: yes, it switches to the black screen that says "Extracting Linux.... Ok, booting up the kernel"
[12:56] <MartinvDK> so everything is just automaticly
[12:57] <imme> !obotu
[12:57] <ubotu> I know nothing about obotu - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:57] <MartinvDK> then I'll be  back..
[12:57] <polpak> I'm having an issue with the boot splash on my new dapper install. The screen just blacks out until GDM starts. I've tried setting vga= with various options on the kernel, but it does not appear to work. It keeps complaining about unknown modes even though I'm using the standard vesafb modes 789, 791, etc

[12:57] <soundray> Nukeador: I just tried with some random text, got 41k. Have you set unusual fonts?
[12:58] <Nukeador> soundray, i used the default one nimbus roman
[12:58] <Nukeador> which font should i use
[12:58] <gregg__> ubotu: all-knowing? some kind of really bad joke?! ;p
[12:58] <ubotu> I know nothing about all-knowing? some kind of really bad joke?! ;p - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu

[12:59] <Orbit45244> someone told me earlier to disable USB 2.0 in my BIOS, so I did, and then it switched to the black screen at the "Setting up Keyboard" stage
[12:59] <soundray> Nukeador: when I do it with Nimbus, my PDF is three times bigger. Try with Times New Roman (may have to install msttcorefonts)
[12:59] <on2see> This is me, GarretS, from IRSSI
[01:00] <ardchoille> polpak: I did sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, then put vga=791 in the kernel line in menu.lst and it worked. Are you sure you have the correct settings in xorg.conf?
[01:00] <imme_> imme_ < !ubotu
[01:00] <Nukeador> soundray, which font did u use the first time?
[01:00] <on2see> !ubotu
[01:00] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage
[01:00] <soundray> Nukeador: Times New Roman
[01:00] <Nukeador> oh... ok
[01:00] <AlexHess> i have a problem with openoffice 2.0.2 on ubuntu 6.06: i copied some opentype-fonts to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/, ran fc-cache, and they are being listed in "system->preferences->font" but openoffice doesn't list them
[01:01] <z0r1> Hmm Ok so I ran sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome but I don't see any difference in my configuration stuff
[01:01] <polpak> ardchoille: the boot settings (the splash screen) aren't dependent on the xserver. I'm in X now, so that's working fine. It should just be the boot option, but I guess I'll have to try some of the other options
[01:01] <Tommy2k4> the livecd installer says there was an error partitioning the drive
[01:01] <soundray> Nukeador: I think the export packages non-standard fonts into the PDF as needed. So the impact won't be as bad in, say, a 20 page document.
[01:01] <Tommy2k4> but doesnt explain why
[01:02] <on2see> exit
[01:02] <Nukeador> soundray, 340 kb is a huuuuge file for 1 page
[01:02] <Nukeador> hehe
[01:02] <trev__> i need to run the file linux-installer.sh, how do i do that from the command promt
[01:03] <ardchoille> sh filename.sh
[01:03] <trev__> thankyou
[01:03] <soundray> Nukeador: yeah, like I say, I suspect it's the font.
[01:03] <WRobinson> Hi, I've installed a SoundBlaster AWE 32 ISA PnP sound board, how I make the ubuntu configure and use it? Simply using the pnpdump and isapnp tools, as suggested somewhere?
[01:03] <z0r1> So what am I supposed to do after running the network-manager-gnome installer?
[01:03] <Nukeador> soundray, thanks :)
[01:03] <z0r1> I still can't get WPA to work
[01:03] <AlexHess> z0r1: try nm-applet
[01:04] <Nukeador> jesus, 160 kb  with times new roman O_o

[01:04] <ubotu> I know nothing about .asc - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:04] <AlexHess> z0r1: it should display an icon in the notification-area on your panel after that
[01:04] <GarretS> is there an IRC channel for WINE?
[01:04] <GarretS> !wine > me
[01:04] <ardchoille> GarretS: #winehq ?
[01:04] <ironfroggy> is there a way to configure that for every user to mount some remote volume in their home directory?
[01:05] <ForeClosure> what is .tar.asc ?
[01:05] <Dark_Knight_209> how do you open a .ace
[01:05] <ardchoille> ForeClosure: That may be an ascii armored gpg sig
[01:05] <ardchoille> !info unace
[01:05] <ubotu> unace: extract, test and view .ace archives. In repository universe, is optional. Version 1.2b-3 (dapper), package size 14 kB, installed size 80 kB
[01:06] <Dark_Knight_209> only command line?
[01:06] <soundray> ironfroggy: yes. Add the remote volume to /etc/fstab with 'noauto,users' in the options. Then you can add a mount command to, for example, each user's $HOME/.gnomerc
[01:07] <z0r1> Ok I tried nm-applet but the icon that appears just has Wired network listed ... and it doeesn't appear to be seeing my wireless card... I tried deactivating and reactivating my wireless card in the Networking settings but no luck
[01:07] <ardchoille> Dark_Knight_209: if you have universe enabled and have doen a sudo apt-get update after it's enabled, you can do apt-cache search unace
[01:07] <Aesop> Ok, correct me if I'm wrong, but when the Ubuntu installer for Dapper says 'Unable to create a filesystem', that's -bad-.
[01:07] <z0r1> If I go to properties for my wireless card .. I can choose all the different wireless networks around .. so I know it's seeing my card and my card's working correctly
[01:07] <Dark_Knight_209> i'ms orry, i have unace. I mnt to say i'm lookin for a gui
[01:07] <soundray> z0r1: do you have a wireless network in reach?
[01:07] <Dark_Knight_209> or soemthing right click friendly
[01:07] <ardchoille> Aesop: Yes, that isn't good. No file system, no place to keep files.
[01:08] <z0r1> yeah 4 .. but they are all encrypted
[01:08] <Aesop> Yeah, it was kind of a ironic comment...
[01:08] <ardchoille> lol
[01:08] <polpak> ironfroggy: with smb mount? or some other type?
[01:08] <ardchoille> Aesop: Love your fables
[01:08] <Aesop> What FS does Ubuntu use? Not Reiser, by any chance?
[01:09] <LjL> Aesop: ext3
[01:09] <polpak> ironfroggy: thx for playing Go w/ me the other day btw. Was fun
[01:09] <ardchoille> It can use a few diff ones: reiserfs, ect2, ext3 and others.
[01:09] <soundray> z0r1: do you have wpasupplicant installed?
[01:09] <Aesop> Meh, I'd hoped Dapper would use Reiser or other journalling FS
[01:09] <void^> .. ext3 is journalled
[01:09] <polpak> Aesop: by default it's ext3, but you can install xfs or reiser if you like
[01:09] <z0r1> idk how cna I check?
[01:10] <gregg__> Aesop: resie isn't exactly known as being stable (though it works stable for many people)
[01:10] <gregg__> s/resie/reiser/
[01:10] <AlexHess> z0r1: i had the same problem when i had all the wpa-supplicant-stuff in my /etc/network/interfaces
[01:10] <z0r1> YEs I do soundray .. i just checked
[01:10] <Aesop> Oooohhhh haa..
[01:10] <gregg__> umsdos :)
[01:10] <Aesop> I've got the drive mounted, that would bea  problem, right?
[01:11] <gregg__> teh filesystem!
[01:11] <AlexHess> z0r1: i did set my wlan-iface to auto and after a reboot nm-applet found wireless and all those networks
[01:11] <z0r1> "wpasupplicant is already the newest version."
[01:11] <grout> how can i find my xwindows version?
[01:11] <gregg__> Aesop: of course :)
[01:11] <LjL> grout: apt-cache policy xserver-xorg
[01:11] <gregg__> grout: Xorg -version
[01:11] <z0r1> alright alex .. I'll try rebooting ... bbiab
[01:11] <Aesop> gregg__: Was backing stuff up, forgot to unmount
[01:11] <Aesop> D'oh
[01:12] <gregg__> anyone here who remembers umsdos?
[01:12] <Aesop> Yup, there it goes
[01:12] <soundray> gregg__: yes
[01:12] <gregg__> this silly FAT "extension"?
[01:12] <soundray> gregg__: oh dear, I think I just revealed my age... ;)
[01:12] <gregg__> I used it for my first linux experiments :)
[01:12] <ardchoille> soundray: haha
[01:12] <gregg__> about 10 years ago
[01:13] <soundray> gregg__: I gave up on it when I found that it couldn't store a file with a leading . in the name ;)
[01:13] <void^> hah, umsdos. was cute though, using loadlin.exe to boot linux from dos.
[01:13] <imme> So why won't firefox open up. :S :(
[01:14] <ardchoille> imme: launch it from a term and see if there is any error output

[01:22] <ardchoille> imme: type:  ps aux | grep firefox  and see if it's already running
[01:22] <MartinvDK> I tried pastebin before, uploading a xorg.conf.. man it was slow, I gave it up :P
[01:22] <Aesop> !info filesystem
[01:22] <ubotu> Package filesystem does not exist in dapper
[01:22] <Aesop> !info filesystems
[01:22] <ubotu> Package filesystems does not exist in dapper
[01:22] <Aesop> Grr
[01:22] <profoX`> is it me, or is the latest youtube refusing to play audio ? other flash sites have audio (i use FIREFOX_DSP="aoss")
[01:22] <FunnyLookinHat> Has anyone here found a video player that will handle 1280x720 (HD) quality videos??  Xine just shows a black screen
[01:23] <Bo> hey what do i do if ubuntu freezes at hte loading screen? recovery mode does the same thing
[01:23] <Sakunix> !tell Sakunix about rivatv
[01:23] <ubotu> I know nothing about rivatv - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:23] <profoX`> FunnyLookinHat: mplayer will play that with the right codecs
[01:23] <ubuntu__> hi
[01:23] <test> Can someone tell me the directory to put in kmail to access local mail?
[01:23] <Aesop> profoX`: YouTube does weird things wuth audio
[01:23] <javiolo> martinvdk google for pastebin there are others
[01:23] <profoX`> FunnyLookinHat: I think VLC plays it by default, not sure
[01:23] <MartinvDK> yes sir
[01:23] <FunnyLookinHat> profoX`, yea vlc failed too
[01:23] <Aesop> !tell aesop about ext3
[01:23] <profoX`> Aesop: they recently changed some things and now i can't hear sound anymore..!
[01:23] <gregg__> FunnyLookinHat: your graphics card's overlay support is probably not up to the job, change the output device to 'x11'
[01:23] <AthlonBIH> i need help with ubuntu...
[01:23] <soundray> test: probably /var/mail/username
[01:24] <z0r1> i need help with ubuntu...
[01:24] <Aesop> profoX`: Yup.
[01:24] <Aesop> z0r1: Little more specific?
[01:24] <Bo> my ubuntu freezes at the startup screen how do i fix it?
[01:24] <z0r1> So has anyone got WPA to work w/ dapper?
[01:24] <profoX`> Aesop: so you have the same problem?
[01:24] <ardchoille> AthlonBIH: You came to the right place, but we need to know the problem.
[01:24] <FunnyLookinHat> gregg__, ahh, that makes more sense.  I'll try that
[01:24] <test> soundray: I'll give it a try.....
[01:24] <gregg__> FunnyLookinHat: (that means to switch off xv) - it might slow down things though
[01:24] <ziro01> yo
[01:24] <Sakunix> ls
[01:24] <Aesop> profoX`: Yeah, but, unlike you, I don't really care. =D
[01:24] <gregg__> s/might/will/
[01:24] <profoX`> Aesop: well i do care, i wanted to browse some youtube things :)
[01:24] <AthlonBIH> i want to use 2 monitors
[01:25] <profoX`> Aesop: and i don't have windows anywhere, so i'm stuck with the old semi-broken flash7, taht has no sound on youtube
[01:25] <kalicrates> #ubuntu-br
[01:25] <Bo> does anybody know how to fix my frozen ubuntu loading screen? it would freeze at "loading root files"
[01:25] <z0r1> I need help getting Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) working in Dapper .. Can anyone help? .. My wireless card is working fine.  I just don't have a place to enter in the WPA settings.. all I see is WEP
[01:26] <imme> ardchoille, output of what you told me is:  10896  0.0  0.0   2876   800 pts/1    S+   01:25   0:00 grep firefox
[01:26] <imme> ardchoille, abacadabra to me...
[01:26] <Infern0o> zor1: my query
[01:26] <Aesop> z0r1: It's possible to convert from WPA to WEP
[01:26] <ardchoille> imme: ok, that means the only thing running that is firefox-related is that grep command
[01:26] <Infern0o> omg: don't touch WEP!
[01:26] <Infern0o> :o
[01:26] <test> soundray:apparently that was it. :) No errors or anything, Yay!
[01:26] <imme> okay
[01:26] <z0r1> my query?
[01:26] <Aesop> WEP is good....
[01:26] <soundray> Bo, have you had a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions ?
[01:27] <Infern0o> z0r1: private message
[01:27] <z0r1> Aesop: WEP is good?  I can hack wep in about 15 minutes
[01:27] <Aesop> z0r1: On what encryption level =P
[01:27] <imme> ardchoille, :|   It suddenly works... :S
[01:27] <Infern0o> WPA outsecures WEP one kazillion times:)
[01:27] <z0r1> 64bit .. but 128bit can be hacked too
[01:27] <z0r1> thank you infern0o
[01:27] <Aesop> Wireless != Secure
[01:27] <Aesop> If you're concerned about security, don't use wireless at all
[01:27] <ardchoille> Infern0o: z0r1 isn't id'd to nickserv.. you may not be able to see his replies
[01:27] <z0r1> WPA = Secure
[01:27] <zukalk> guys, i'm trying to install gaim-2.0.0beta3, but its ./configure script requires XML::Parser, and sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install XML::Parser' returns an error. any suggestions?
[01:27] <z0r1> let me id
[01:27] <ardchoille> imme: Awesome! :)
[01:28] <Infern0o> ardchoille: yeah i was thinking the same thing
[01:28] <Aesop> WPA != Secure, WPA == More Secure than WEP
[01:28] <z0r1> test
[01:28] <z0r1> bah
[01:28] <AthlonBIH> i need one picture on 2 monitors HELP!!!
[01:28] <gregg__> Aesop: or ipsec on top of your wlan
[01:28] <imme> ardchoille, I started it, but my terminbal window froze, so I did force quit then i restarted a terminal and thit the grep-thinggie you told me.
[01:28] <Infern0o> z0r1: wel i saw you where using nm-applet?
[01:28] <imme> ardchoille, before that it had gone in sleep mode.
[01:28] <gregg__> Aesop: AFAIK WPA2/AES is considered secure
[01:28] <Aesop> Problem with wireless is that anyone can access it- you don't have to actually get to a physical cable or jack
[01:28] <soundray> AthlonBIH: laptop?
[01:28] <javiolo> zukalk try checkinstall and auto-apt
[01:28] <Bo> soundray: no ill check it out
[01:28] <Aesop> That fact makes it inherently insecure, no matter what you put on top of it
[01:29] <ardchoille> imme: I have found, that when I have a bookmarks folder with a large number of bookmarks, firefox will freeze up
[01:29] <zukalk> javiolo: i haven't toyed with those in a long time. could you guide me?
[01:29] <AthlonBIH> no its PC
[01:29] <AthlonBIH> i have LCD and CRT
[01:29] <Aesop> If you're doing htings that require security over a wireless network, you aren't concerned enough about your security
[01:29] <gregg__> Aesop: so, in consequence every VPN should be considered 'insecure'?
[01:29] <AthlonBIH> i runn live distribution...
[01:29] <javiolo> !tell zukalk about checkinstall
[01:29] <rubyphyte> has anyone had any luck setting up lighttpd on ubuntu?
[01:29] <zukalk> javiolo: thanks
[01:29] <soundray> AthlonBIH: both on the same graphics card?
[01:29] <javiolo> !tell zukalk about auto-apt
[01:29] <ubotu> I know nothing about auto-apt - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:29] <AthlonBIH> yes
[01:29] <imme> ardchoille, This is the first time I'm on ubuntu on this machine so that's not the case here I think...
[01:29] <AthlonBIH> 9800PRO
[01:29] <ardchoille> imme: ok
[01:30] <Aesop> gregg__: True to a lesser extent. A VPN can still be considered a 'secured environment' but is not secure as a localized network with controlled gateways
[01:30] <soundray> AthlonBIH: erm, is that nvidia?
[01:30] <kalicrates> there is a problem with my cdrom.. when a do a command "desmeg | tail" : kalicrates@casa:~$ dmesg | tail

[01:30] <skavenge> kalicrates: spam?
[01:31] <kalicrates> no!!
[01:31] <javiolo> zukalk you should sudo auto-apt run ./configure
[01:31] <javiolo> zukalk then make
[01:31] <soundray> Why is it that people come to this channel and just use it as they please, without reading the /topic?
[01:31] <javiolo> zukalk then sudo checkinstall
[01:31] <gregg__> Aesop: well, I'm not talking about 'absolute' security by any means :-)
[01:31] <imme> ardchoille, So what's firefox-bin -a firefox, does it mean something like start the binary file firefox with parameter a argument firefox?
[01:31] <zukalk> javiolo: roger that, i'll give it a go
[01:31] <ardchoille> !lighttpd > rubyphyte
[01:31] <skavenge> soundray: impatience

[01:31] <gregg__> if you want absolute security, cut the wire :)
[01:31] <javiolo> zukalk first update the auto-apt database
[01:31] <Aesop> gregg__: I'm talking calculated risks- mind if we take this to a private query before we get kicked? =P
[01:31] <ardchoille> imme: That would be my guess
[01:31] <ForeClosure> !gtk
[01:31] <ubotu> gtk is the gimp toolkit, which forms the base of Gnome and a lot of other applications

[01:33] <Nekow42> AthlonBIH: NVIDIA has nvidia-settings
[01:34] <Dial_tone> what tings
[01:34] <Nekow42> AthlonBIH: Don't know about other vid cards

[01:34] <AthlonBIH> whats that mean :S i can't use both monitors as one
[01:34] <gregg__> how long does it usually take for ubotu factoids to get approved?
[01:34] <imme> !tell imme about ubotu
[01:34] <ardchoille> gregg__: I was wondering that myself
[01:34] <soundray> AthlonBIH: you probably can. Did you install ATI drivers according to the wiki?
[01:35] <soundray> !tell AthlonBIH about ati
[01:35] <void^> ah, dual monitor setup. joy. pretty well documented though.
[01:35] <Infern0o> !paste > kalibrates
[01:35] <gregg__> I just submitted two _important_ factoids ;)
[01:35] <MartinvDK> Hello again
[01:35] <Dial_tone> AthlonBIH did you try aticonfig?
[01:35] <AthlonBIH> no
[01:35] <ardchoille> albacker: Hey :)
[01:35] <AthlonBIH> where is aticonfig???
[01:35] <MartinvDK> now, when I install the nvidia-driver, it writes in xorg that I have ATI-card, but I have nvidia :S
[01:36] <albacker> how to add a user into a group [for ex. sudo]  !?
[01:36] <Infern0o> !tell Infern0o about ubotu
[01:36] <albacker> useradd or adduser :S ?
[01:36] <soundray> AthlonBIH: follow ubotu's advice
[01:36] <MartinvDK> and I get the error message:no screens found
[01:36] <gregg__> albacker: usermod
[01:36] <AthlonBIH> TNX
[01:36] <imme> !imme is an idiot
[01:36] <AthlonBIH> you are great guys
[01:37] <Aesop> gregg__: I gave you a sort of overview of the arguments about why wireless is generally considered not secure
[01:37] <AthlonBIH> i love linux :D
[01:37] <imme> !no, imme is a dumb-ass. :-P
[01:37] <Aesop> AthlonBIH: Join the club! =D
[01:37] <MartinvDK> hmm
[01:37] <MartinvDK> can I get a little help with my nvidia-stuff?
[01:37] <MartinvDK> any experts? :P
[01:37] <albacker> hello ardchoille :) i havent seen you in the other channel some times ago :)
[01:37] <albacker> gregg__, thanks
[01:37] <AthlonBIH> ;)
[01:38] <Aesop> MartinvDK: #nvidia, maybe?
[01:38] <gregg__> Aesop: I don't feel like discussing about a 'serious' topic right now, sorry...
[01:38] <albacker> gregg__, how to add it into sudo ?
[01:38] <imme> gregg__, are you registered and granted access to add factoids?
[01:38] <ardchoille> albacker: YEah, I don't use gnome much anymore
[01:38] <Infern0o> !factoids > Infern0o
[01:38] <ubotu> I know nothing about factoids  - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:39] <gregg__> imme: no. ubotu told me the factoids would get checked by someone in #ubuntu-ops
[01:39] <albacker> ardchoille, don't tell me you're KDE user right now.
[01:39] <ardchoille> albacker: Nope, I use cli mostly now
[01:39] <imme> gregg__, And if there aren
[01:39] <imme> gregg__, 't any, it 'll take a long time... :)
[01:39] <albacker> cli :S another desktop manager?  or is it a light window manager like *box ?
[01:39] <albacker> ardchoille,  ^ ?
[01:39] <ardchoille> imme: How does one apply to be approved to add factoids?
[01:40] <tomasz> hi - I would like to access squid from outside of local domain, although I cannot telnet it from outside. I'm trying to use iptables to open the port 3128. It does not seem to work. What is the correct solution ?
[01:40] <imme> !foo
[01:40] <MartinvDK> Aesop, it's like this: I followed a guide about installing nvidia-drivers, on help.ubuntu.com. I enabled the drivers by 'sudo nvidia-glx-config enable' - but now my xorg.conf has changed, so it says I have a ATI radeon 7900 or something.. and when I boot, it says "No screens found".. I have NO idea what to do
[01:40] <ubotu> I know nothing about foo - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:40] <gnomefreak> imme: dont play with the bot
[01:40] <ardchoille> albacker: No, cli is Command Line Interface.. terminal or tty's
[01:40] <imme> gnomefreak, Does it piss him off?
[01:40] <gnomefreak> !bot abuse
[01:40] <ubotu> Please don't play with the bots, or else... Also see !behaviour and !msgthebot
[01:40] <gregg__> imme: hey, that's MY factoid! :-))
[01:40] <AthlonBIH> Does ubuntu support Wacom tablet?
[01:41] <albacker> ardchoille, aha so you're kinda using a text-irc-client !? right ?
[01:41] <davey_> I need to talk to someone who has influence in the linux community, I found a problem
[01:41] <ardchoille> albacker: irssi all the way d00d :)
[01:41] <mjr> AthlonBIH, dunno about all of them, but at least some.
[01:41] <gnomefreak> davey_: speak
[01:41] <imme> ardchoille, you'll hav to be registered and then given acces, I don't know how either of those work.(yet)...
[01:41] <soundray> ubotu, foo is a metasyntactic variable which should be replaced with whatever makes sense in the context
[01:41] <davey_> The forms won't let me talk about it since they don't seem to belive me, i hae proof
[01:41] <MartinvDK> AthlonBIH, the old breezy did perfectly support my wacom.. the new dapper certainly NOT!
[01:41] <albacker> ardchoille, hah :) so no more GUI for you ?!
[01:41] <HedgeMage> ardchoille: Hey there :) Long time no see.
[01:41] <imme> gregg__, It's in the about !ubotu page...

[01:42] <ardchoille> HedgeMage: How's my favourite Linux user?
[01:42] <gnomefreak> ubuntu supports 64bit fine its the restricted packages that are not supported

[01:46] <Infern0o> jjohn: you need to register with nickserv first
[01:46] <gregg__> albacker: you can adjust the primary group with useradd/adduser
[01:46] <roger21> is it possible to choose lilo instead of grub while installing the last ubuntu ?
[01:46] <mjr> codecaine, linux doesn't need to know what the underlying filesystem is in that case
[01:46] <roger21> (and how ?)
[01:46] <Infern0o> jjohn: type /msg nickServ register help
[01:46] <Orbit45244> because I'm having several problems with running Ubuntu from a Live CD.
[01:46] <codecaine> cool
[01:46] <albacker> gregg__, i think its addgroup user group..  :S thanks neway
[01:47] <gregg__> albacker: but then, after the user has been created, you can add the user to more groups
[01:47] <rubyphyte> has anyone setup mongrel under dapper drake?
[01:47] <gregg__> albacker: works too :)
[01:47] <skavenge> roger21: you can install it later but theres no option no
[01:47] <albacker> =)
[01:47] <Infern0o> jjohn, got it?
[01:47] <lens_> this is a n00b question, what format does a movie file have to be in to burn a dvd?  What software is the best for conversion and quality... the easier the better.
[01:47] <roger21> skavenge, ok thx
[01:48] <MartinvDK> Well, looks like no one knows how to install nvidia-drivers..
[01:48] <gregg__> lens_: mpeg2
[01:48] <Orbit45244> does Ubuntu work on Compaq computers?
[01:48] <Anticamper> use nero mate
[01:48] <jjohn> inferno yes I think so ot sure what happening yet
[01:48] <technel_> 50 11 * * * /sbin/shutdown now should shutdown the computer at 11:50am every day automatically (in a crontab), right?
[01:48] <Anticamper> it is what i use to make dvd's
[01:48] <roger21> MartinvDK, did you looked at plf ?
[01:48] <gregg__> MartinvDK: open xorg.conf and replace "nv" with "nvidia"
[01:48] <Anticamper> its realy user friendly
[01:48] <cpk2> mpeg i think lens_ but you are going to need something that will burn in udf format to play it on most standard dvd players
[01:48] <Infern0o> jjohn, you managed to register?
[01:48] <MartinvDK> replacing nv with nvidia in xorg causes crash on boot
[01:48] <Infern0o> jjohn, since that has to happen first before we can go on :)
[01:48] <MartinvDK> plf?
[01:49] <skavenge> Orbit45244: that question is so broad there's no answer 'compaq computers' come with tons of different hardware on them and have been around for decades
[01:49] <LjL> technel_: i don't think the "shoutdown" command without parameters will shut down the system
[01:49] <lens_> cpk2 and gregg__... Is there a program most people use?
[01:49] <LjL> technel_: either use "halt", or give shutdown parameters, like i think "-H now"
[01:49] <cpk2> lens_: sourceforge has all sorts of tools
[01:49] <gregg__> MartinvDK: a hard freeze? pretty bad. what type of nvidia card do you have?
[01:49] <ardchoille> technel_: shutdown -h now for shutdown and shutdown -r for reboot
[01:50] <lens_> ok thanks guys.
[01:50] <technel_> LjL, Actually, I did spell it correctly: "shutdown" and I gave it the parameter "now"
[01:50] <MartinvDK> gregg__ nvidia Go 420 32mb
[01:50] <jjohn> Inferno I must be reg as I have usr name and my box logs me in when I start gnome ex chat
[01:50] <Ropechoborra> If i got a package in a web site, how can i use apt-get to download and install it directly
[01:50] <gregg__> lens_: sorry, I don't know much about video DVD mastering on linux
[01:50] <technel_> LjL, ardchoille, Oh, right -h for halt, thanks
[01:50] <cpk2> dvdstyler looked pretty neat last time i looked at it, but you will need something to convert everything to mpeg2
[01:50] <ardchoille> You're welcome :)
[01:50] <gregg__> MartinvDK: these notebooks cards often seem to cause problems
[01:51] <Infern0o> jjohn, ok so you are identified with nickserv...
[01:51] <Orbit45244> skavenge: because I'm running on a Compaq Presario SR1610NX PC and I can't get past boot up because of the errors
[01:51] <MartinvDK> gregg__ I guess.. :(
[01:51] <gregg__> MartinvDK: you might want to play around with the AGP settings...
[01:51] <cpk2> MartinvDK: you need to update the drives from console
[01:51] <skavenge> Orbit45244: what error? you need to be more specific for someone to help you
[01:52] <cpk2> drivers*
[01:52] <jjohn> Inferno your name shows in a different colour  if I click it opens "'inferno" dialogue
[01:52] <Infern0o> great
[01:52] <Infern0o> that's private message :)
[01:52] <MartinvDK> cpk2 how can I do that?
[01:52] <Infern0o> jjohn, can you answer me?
[01:52] <Infern0o> jjohn, in that box
[01:52] <LjL> technel_ by the way, you probably couldn't care less about this, but i was thinking, maybe you'd also be interested in "apt-cache show nvram-wakeup"
[01:53] <Orbit45244> skavenge: when I try to boot from my i386 Live CD, it gets to the "Adding Live CD User" then it goes to a black screen that says "Extracting Linux.... Ok, launching kernel" then the boot up stops.
[01:53] <jjohn> Inferno you should have msg
[01:53] <technel_> LjL, Sets the bios wake-up time? Sounds cool, I will check it out
[01:53] <skavenge> Orbit45244: have you tried the 'check cd' option at initial bootup?
[01:53] <gregg__> cpk2, doesn't dapper have the most recent drivers anyway?
[01:54] <maxLF> Yo, can I run game controls in ubuntu?
[01:54] <tuxtux> good night at all
[01:54] <Orbit45244> skavenge: I don't need to because the MD5 signature for the .iso file is what it should be
[01:54] <Infern0o> jjohn, let's continue there then ;,)
[01:55] <HedgeMage> maxLF: You mean a control pad or joy stick?  (if so, yes)
[01:55] <skavenge> Orbit45244: doesnt matter it might have burned incorrectly, how fast did you burn it? alot of people reccommend burning the livecd as slow as possible as its finicky
[01:55] <ForeClosure> hmmm
[01:55] <maxLF> HedgeMage: Do you have a list of ones that will run in ubuntu? :)
[01:56] <Orbit45244> scavenge: okay.  Does it matter if USB 2.0 is enabled in the BIOS?  Because someone said that it did.
[01:56] <HedgeMage> maxLF: There may be one somewhere, I don't know of one... I know that the ones my husband owns (both Logitech brand) work flawlessly though
[01:56] <gregg__> maxLF: every controller that supports USB HID should work.
[01:56] <skavenge> Orbit45244: i doubt it or havent heard of that .. your next option if the cd is to try and boot with some options turned off, like noacpi or ide=nodma in the grub menu
[01:56] <gregg__> maxLF: sometimes it's printed on the box
[01:56] <HedgeMage> maxLF: linux.strangegamer.com has good gaming info
[01:57] <Orbit45244> grub menu?
[01:57] <maxLF> HedgeMage, gregg__ , thanks
[01:57] <imbrandon> maxLF, and ones that connect to db25 like converted snes too via gamecon modules work perfect
[01:57] <gregg__> maxLF: you can also look for "compatible with mac osx"
[01:57] <ForeClosure> how i wanna check Ubuntu security ?
[01:57] <skavenge> Orbit45244: the initial menu at startup where you choose the like cd option, check cd, etc .. you can hit 'e' to edit
[01:57] <Infern0o> !security
[01:57] <ubotu> I know nothing about security - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:57] <skavenge> like=live
[01:58] <maxLF> gregg__, So if it works in mac it will work in Linux? And if it connects to USB it will work?
[01:58] <ForeClosure> !firewall
[01:58] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed with iptables (in the command line), firestarter (gui, can also setup connection sharing) or shorewall (web interface)
[01:58] <cpk2> !init
[01:58] <ubotu> Boot options: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootOptions To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a bootfloppy: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SmartBootManagerHowto

[01:58] <MartinvDK> right*
[01:58] <cpk2> !telinit
[01:58] <ForeClosure> how i wanna check Ubuntu's firewall ?
[01:58] <MartinvDK> !linux = endless problems :(

[01:59] <technel_> I need to run a command that requires root in a user's crontab. Is it possible to somehow use sudo?
[01:59] <cpk2> !runlevel
[01:59] <ubotu> I know nothing about runlevel - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:59] <gregg__> maxLF: no! not guaranteed... for USB there's a standard called human interface devices (HID) and every controller which follows this standard works virtually everywhere (windows, mac, linux) without special drivers
[01:59] <polpak> Seriously you guys
[01:59] <polpak> !fishing
[01:59] <ubotu> Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots
[01:59] <maxLF> gregg__, K thx dude
[02:00] <gregg__> maxLF: vendors often announce HID compatible devices as "mac compatible"

[02:00] <polpak> gnomefreak: you wouldn't happen to know what the valid vga modes are for usplash? I've tried quite a few but it keeps saying they're invalid
[02:00] <gnomefreak> !usplash
[02:00] <ubotu> usplash is the start-up splash (before GNOME/KDE appears) in Ubuntu. To customize it, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/USplashCustomizationHowto
[02:01] <gnomefreak> it should be there
[02:01] <polpak> ForeClosure: the guide is a at help.ubuntu.com
[02:01] <polpak> gnomefreak: nope. I looked
[02:01] <ForeClosure> thanks
[02:01] <gnomefreak> polpak: than no
[02:01] <gnomefreak> sorry
[02:01] <polpak> gnomefreak: ok, no worries. I'll just keep guessing. I can't get anything on my lcd until X starts during boot
[02:03] <zoidberg> guys i have a problem
[02:03] <zoidberg> its with ogle
[02:03] <zoidberg> where is the site where i can post the error messages i'm getting
[02:03] <zoidberg> ?
[02:03] <cpk2> anyone know how to get to init 3?
[02:03] <zoidberg> u guys there?
[02:03] <maxLF> gregg__, will this work in ubuntu? http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0665000FS10040462&catid=14262#
[02:04] <cpk2> sudo telinit 3 sets runlevel to 2 3
[02:04] <MartinvDK> zoidberg, only 763 users here now, you can't expect an answer! Wait some hours! :D
[02:04] <zoidberg> lol
[02:04] <MartinvDK> zoidberg: you can post error messages at pastebin.org
[02:04] <crimsun> cpk2: that's correct if you're referring to the output from ``runlevel'' after issuing ``sudo telinit 3''
[02:04] <zoidberg> yeah
[02:05] <MartinvDK> I learned that today, after posting 7 lines of code here, and it was called spamming :P
[02:05] <MartinvDK> while everybody played with a bot, creating 20 lines/second
[02:05] <cpk2> the problem is xserver is still running
[02:05] <MartinvDK> ;)
[02:05] <andy-> Anyone know what "perl -e "fork while fork" does?
[02:06] <gregg__> maxLF: probably, yes. if it doesn't, you can return it. :)
[02:06] <krism> andy-:  nothing good.
[02:06] <crimsun> cpk2: that's correct. We don't play runlevel games in Debian-based distros (by default). Runlevels 2-5 are identical.
[02:06] <andy-> krism: but what does it do?
[02:06] <maxLF> gregg__, Okay, Thanks For All Your help, sorry I'm so inquisitive, I'm only 14. xD;;
[02:06] <cpk2> crimsun: i see, so what if i want to close down xserver?
[02:06] <krism> andy-: looks like it will spawn an infinite number of processes
[02:07] <andy-> krism: ok thx.
[02:07] <nentis> MartinvDK, you could use this in the future and paste the URL:
[02:07] <nentis> http://rafb.net/paste/
[02:07] <crimsun> cpk2: then you stop the display manager. sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop
[02:08] <cpk2> crimsun: you know the kde equivilent?
[02:08] <Wiseguy> hey guys, how do i uninstall grub from the command line?
[02:08] <crimsun> cpk2: s/gdm/kdm/g
[02:08] <gnomefreak> Wiseguy: sudo apt-get remove grub?
[02:08] <technel_> I am trying to get a crontab to restart the computer. I added this, as root, to /etc/crontab: "3  18   * * *   root    shutdown -r now" so that it would restart at 7:03 PM system time, but nothing happened. Why?
[02:09] <technel_> Also, is there anyw ay to use sudo in my user crontab?
[02:09] <cpk2> crimsun: thanks
[02:09] <Wiseguy> gnomefreak, that will remove it from my mbr as well? or wherever ubuntu installs grub too?
[02:10] <gnomefreak> Wiseguy: no you asked to remove grub (i dont know linux command to clear mbr offhand) only remebers windows crap command
[02:10] <jjohn> I am trying to install bcm43xx cutter into acer 500x laptop Iwconfig is returning "invalid access point" can any one help please
[02:10] <gregg__> technel_: you can setup sudo to not ask for a password (dangerous)
[02:11] <technel_> gregg__, Indeed, any other way?
[02:11] <ForeClosure> which mail client should i use ?
[02:12] <ForeClosure> i was using outlook express before ^^
[02:12] <ForeClosure> !mail
[02:12] <ubotu> mail is another medium to communicate. Ubuntu mailinglists can be found at http://lists.ubuntu.com
[02:12] <ForeClosure> !mail client
[02:12] <ubotu> I know nothing about mail client - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[02:12] <gregg__> technel_: sudo is quite versatile, so you could set it up in a way that only shutdown (or whatever commands you want) can be used without password
[02:12] <ForeClosure> !evolution

[02:14] <Aesop> varsendaggr: Not the last time I checked?
[02:14] <varsendaggr> wow
[02:14] <gregg__> varsendaggr: you have to modify your sudoers file with visudo, but I don't know the exact syntax. man sudoers should explain it.
[02:14] <Aesop> File > Save As > PDF
[02:14] <technel_> gregg__, Very cool, will check out the man page

[02:19] <ForeClosure> i wanna run those games in ubuntu
[02:19] <LjL> technel_: restart the computer? i think just using reboot instead of shutdown (or shutdown -r) on the same crontab entry you gave before should work...?
[02:19] <varsendaggr> ForeClosure, then use cedega
[02:19] <zukalk> javiolo: forgot to mention that everything's working now. thanks! ;)
[02:19] <varsendaggr> there is no other way
[02:19] <Jack_Sparrow> ForeClosure: there are some special loaders for running some fps games like Serious Sam and warsow

[02:20] <Sub> hosler, use the alternative install cd
[02:20] <LjL> hosler: use the alternate cd
[02:20] <Sub> or jus upgrade online
[02:20] <cpk2> varsendaggr: high speed uses a modem too
[02:20] <hosler> how and where
[02:20] <Sub> !upgrade

[02:20] <technel_> LjL, Well, the truth is actually that I want to shut it down, but for testing purposes I am using shutdown -r to reboot
[02:20] <varsendaggr> cpk2 not a win modem
[02:20] <LjL> technel_: ah ok. anyway, is the method we talked about above not working?
[02:20] <Jack_Sparrow> varsendaggr: What type of modem?
[02:20] <technel_> LjL, But for some reason "3  18   * * *   root    shutdown -r now" didn't work in /etc/crontab
[02:21] <ImWolf> varsendaggr i wish
[02:21] <LjL> technel_: hmm you'd probably need to run  kill -s 1 `pidof cron`   to make cron re-read the crontab
[02:21] <ImWolf> i could

[02:21] <gregg__> crogue5: it isn't a problem at all
[02:22] <crogue5> Jack_Sparrow, i dont want to re-install
[02:22] <Jack_Sparrow> then follow the bot
[02:22] <crogue5> ok thanks, it's kubuntu-desktop right?
[02:22] <LjL> technel_: no you're not
[02:22] <Jack_Sparrow> kde desktop
[02:22] <cpk2> technel_: do you have a /etc/cron.d/anacron ?
[02:22] <crogue5> thanks
[02:23] <LjL> cpk2: why should he use anacron since he just want to shutdown at a given time? :-?
[02:23] <bimberi> ImWolf: tell the channel what you've tried and what problems you're having.  Hopefully someone can help
[02:23] <technel_> cpk2, yes
[02:23] <cpk2> doesnt anacron run as rott?

[02:24] <jrib> recon0: apt-cache search poker
[02:24] <LjL> recon0: or even apt-cache show sillypoker, which is possibly the only one that's not really video-poker

[02:25] <jjohn> p n
[02:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Not if it is broadcom
[02:25] <ForeClosure> i just use *sudo* rite ?
[02:26] <gregg__> ForeClosure: usually, you only need it for the "make install" step after compiling the software
[02:26] <LjL> ForeClosure: hm? well no, sudo doesn't have anything to do with compiling, except you do need it to install stuff outside of your home directory. but sudo itself just gives you root (administrator) privileges
[02:26] <recon0> Ok.
[02:26] <ForeClosure> ok
[02:27] <jjohn> It is Broadcom Air force one
[02:27] <technel_> LjL, One more time. 27 18 * * * root  shutdown -r now in /etc/crontab should restart the system at 7:28 PM every day, right?
[02:27] <motorsep> hello
[02:28] <motorsep> I am new to Linux world and I feel like I am ready to install it on my PC :)
[02:28] <LjL> technel_: no, it'll restart it at 6:27pm. but besides that, yeah, i think it should
[02:28] <XiXaQ> motorsep, congratulations :)
[02:28] <gregg__> technel_: 6:28 pm. but why do you need to reboot every day?
[02:28] <motorsep> XiXaQ, thanks :)
[02:28] <ucordes> i can't receive dcc sends with my xchat
[02:28] <LjL> technel_: but make sure you restart cron (kill -1 `pidof cron`) to make it apply
[02:28] <ucordes> anybody knows something?
[02:28] <XiXaQ> motorsep, how long have you been involved?
[02:28] <motorsep> XiXaQ, I am choosing between Ubuntu, Kubuntu and SUSE..
[02:28] <_JECKEL_> hmmm
[02:28] <motorsep> XiXaQ, involved where?
[02:29] <_JECKEL_> why is Xchat so different and crappy now?
[02:29] <technel_> LjL, gregg__, No, it is 0-23 for the hour and 0-59 for the minute
[02:29] <gnomefreak> _JECKEL_: are you using xchat or xchat-gnome?
[02:29] <LjL> technel_: yeah, and hour 18 is 6pm
[02:29] <AlexHess> is there any lightweight dnsd that uses resolve.conf and hosts for looking up names?
[02:29] <_JECKEL_> ah..
[02:29] <_JECKEL_> X-chat gnome
[02:29] <_JECKEL_> hmm
[02:29] <gnomefreak> _JECKEL_: that would be why
[02:29] <motorsep> XiXaQ, ?
[02:29] <gnomefreak> _JECKEL_: sudo apt-get install xchat
[02:29] <XiXaQ> motorsep, well, ubuntu and kubuntu is basically the same system, only using different window managers. You can, for instance, convert ubuntu to kubuntu with a few commands, and vice versa.
[02:29] <technel_> _JECKEL_, Yeah, seriously, get rid of that crap and get the regular xchat, much better
[02:29] <LjL> technel_: 0=midnight, 1=1am, ...
[02:29] <gnomefreak> _JECKEL_: it should remove xchat-gnome adn install xchat
[02:30] <_JECKEL_> I did have normal x-chat
[02:30] <ImWolf> who can at least read what is happening to me
[02:30] <XiXaQ> motorsep, have you tried the systems yet?
[02:30] <_JECKEL_> I have NO idea why my original x-chat dissapeared
[02:30] <motorsep> XiXaQ, would I have to download KDE for Ubuntu?
[02:30] <LjL> technel_: also for the minute -- minute "27" is 27, minutes *always* start from 0, not just in crontab :o)
[02:30] <gregg__> motorsep: apt-get will download it for you
[02:30] <_JECKEL_> I mean honestly..can anybody tell me why that may have happened?
[02:30] <technel_> LjL, 0-23 so on a 24-hour scale 7pm would be 19 (12+7), so 19-1=18?
[02:30] <gnomefreak> motorsep: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[02:31] <Jack_Sparrow> _JECKEL_: Did you do an upgrade?
[02:31] <cpk2> and uninstall gnome problem
[02:31] <ImWolf>  who can at least read what is happening to me
[02:31] <motorsep> ahh.. ok. thank you guys.
[02:31] <cpk2> they can cause problems with each other, they arent very good friends
[02:31] <gregg__> motorsep: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[02:31] <gnomefreak> Jack_Sparrow: dapper pulled xchat-gnome
[02:31] <technel_> LjL, What am I doing wrong here?
[02:31] <gnomefreak> Jack_Sparrow: its no longer default package
[02:31] <Jack_Sparrow> ahhh
[02:31] <_JECKEL_> yeah..but I had it after the upgrade o.O
[02:31] <LjL> technel_: uhm? yes 7pm = 19, and 6pm = 18.  5pm = 17, 4pm=16, 3pm=15, 2pm=14, 1pm=13, midday=12  --  just what in the US is called "military time"
[02:31] <XiXaQ> motorsep, yes. It's done automatically though. If you're in Ubuntu, you can type sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop and all the software will be downloaded and installed automatically either from the cd/dvd or from the net.
[02:31] <gnomefreak> i wanna say it was around flight 4 that it was pulled
[02:31] <ucordes> how can i configure my firefox browser to take irc links?
[02:32] <technel_> LjL, Yeah, I live in the US
[02:32] <Jack_Sparrow> How do you ninstall gnome from Kubuntu after installing KDE
[02:32] <motorsep> XiXaQ, I have XP installed under NTFS and prior it's installation, I made another partition for Linux (20 Gb)
[02:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Uninstall
[02:32] <gnomefreak> uninstall?
[02:32] <gnomefreak> lol
[02:32] <Frem> I have an 800mb folder filled with files with corrupted file-names in my wastebasket. And it's owned by root. How do I delete it?
[02:32] <gnomefreak> sudo apt-get remove libgtk
[02:32] <LjL> technel_: your computer says it's 19:32 where you live, right now
[02:32] <technel_> LjL, Military time it is 19:32:19, so if everything in unix starts with 0 instead of 1, you subtract one, so it is 18:31:18, right?
[02:32] <gnomefreak> maybe a --purge too
[02:32] <skavenge> is there an apt-get command to install the latest intel 686 kernerl and headers?
[02:32] <XiXaQ> motorsep, did you know that you can boot Ubuntu directly from the cdrom?
[02:32] <cpk2> Frem: rm -rf?
[02:32] <gnomefreak> Jack_Sparrow: warning that will remove xfce also if installed
[02:33] <LjL> technel_: no. military time *itself* start with zero, and it is the *same* as the crontab time
[02:33] <motorsep> XiXaQ, Yeah. But I would rather have it on HDD :)
[02:33] <Frem> cpk2, I can't find my wastebasket folder
[02:33] <LjL> technel_: 0 is midnight in military time and/or crontab, 12 is midday
[02:33] <Jack_Sparrow> do I need to uninstal gnome to add kde
[02:33] <technel_> LjL, Ohh
[02:33] <gnomefreak> skavenge: what does uname -r say?
[02:33] <gnomefreak> Jack_Sparrow: no
[02:33] <XiXaQ> motorsep, ok then. :) Just so you know it isn't nessasary.
[02:33] <technel_> LjL, Wow...
[02:33] <motorsep> XiXaQ, so I have XP on one partition and 20Gb free partition for Linux. Can Ubuntu instalation damage my XP partition?
[02:33] <test> hiya again
[02:33] <gnomefreak> Jack_Sparrow: you choose from login screen
[02:33] <Frem> cpk2, It's on the desktop, but I can't find it in a terminal.
[02:33] <Jack_Sparrow> HOw do I start up in KDE and not GNome?
[02:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Cool thanks
[02:33] <LjL> technel_: and i don't see why "32" should become "31"... do hours start at minute number "1" on your clock? they start at "0" on mine :o)
[02:33] <bimberi> nope
[02:34] <gregg__> motorsep: it won't if you install it correctly
[02:34] <redcard> God, I love how far linux has come in three years
[02:34] <gnomefreak> 3 years?
[02:34] <skavenge> gnomefreak: 2.6.15-26-386
[02:34] <redcard> gnomefreak: Yep.
[02:34] <jjohn> imwolf did you get that
[02:34] <motorsep> gregg__, o_O that is what I am affraid of :) I don't want to loose my data
[02:34] <Jack_Sparrow> redcard, aint it amazing
[02:34] <ImWolf> what?
[02:34] <redcard> I've not put linux on a desktop since I got my mac.  A little over two years ago
[02:35] <ImWolf> the prv?
[02:35] <gnomefreak> skavenge: latest kernel is 2.6.15-26-686 would be the one you want yopu can get it in synaptic
[02:35] <gregg__> motorsep: you "just" have to choose the right option while partitioning
[02:35] <redcard> I never thought I'd love the fact that I didn't have to use the console once during install
[02:35] <mumbles> im going to try and go to sleep
[02:35] <mumbles> nn all
[02:35] <XiXaQ> motorsep, well, in a way. If WinXP is on disk1 and Ubuntu is installed on disk2, then Ubuntu will overwrite the bootsector of disk1. However, Ubuntu will let create a new menu for you, so you can choose to boot WinXP or Ubuntu when you turn on your machine.
[02:35] <skavenge> gnomefreak: thank you what about headers?
[02:35] <gregg__> motorsep: it's best if you have some free, unpartitioned space on the hd prior to installation
[02:35] <gnomefreak> redcard: its been longer than 3 years since gui frontends hit
[02:35] <bla|patrick> hi
[02:35] <bla|patrick> good morning
[02:36] <ImWolf> jjohn im VERY noob in linux
[02:36] <jjohn> Imwolf there is a pppconfig in terminal follow that and then to start your session just "sudo pon"
[02:36] <Jack_Sparrow> good evening
[02:36] <gnomefreak> skavenge: same place
[02:36] <bla|patrick> !mozilla-mplayer 3.2*
[02:36] <ubotu> I know nothing about mozilla-mplayer 3.2* - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[02:36] <test> bla|patrick: hiya
[02:36] <ImWolf> jjohn look at priv
[02:36] <gnomefreak> !headers
[02:36] <ubotu> To install the Linux (kernel) headers, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) To install headers for libraries, you need the accompanying -dev packages
[02:36] <skavenge> nice okay
[02:36] <gnomefreak> !mplayer > bla|patrick
[02:36] <XiXaQ> motorsep, however, if you wanted to overwrite it again, to let Windows have back the bootsector, you can simply run fdisk /mbr from ms-dos, if you have a win98 boot cd for instance.
[02:36] <bla|patrick> gnomefreak: no... i am looking for built 3.21 and higher
[02:36] <bla|patrick> cant find any packages
[02:36] <motorsep> gregg__, yeah, that's what I have.. E: drive for 20Gb - that's how it's showing up in Xp now..
[02:37] <bla|patrick> hi test :)
[02:37] <motorsep> XiXaQ, ic..
[02:37] <gnomefreak> bla|patrick: ubuntu doesnt have it please read the page on compiling mplayer they might list a link for you
[02:37] <bla|patrick> !mplayer
[02:37] <ubotu> No fonts in mplayer? Try " sudo apt-get install mplayer-fonts " ( multiverse must be enabled see !repos ).
[02:37] <jjohn> imwolf  OK go to private
[02:37] <ubotu> For Codecs try !codecs Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MplayerInstallHowto for installation tips.
[02:37] <ImWolf> jjohn ok
[02:37] <gregg__> motorsep: I'd delete this partition and start the installation. there will be an option "use free space", choose it and everything should work out without losing data
[02:38] <bla|patrick> that wiki entry is empty
[02:38] <gnomefreak> hmmmmm
[02:38] <test> silly question: if i change just an icon for a device it will not mess up the device working right?
[02:38] <bla|patrick> !codecs
[02:38] <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
[02:38] <ImWolf> jjohn im there
[02:38] <XiXaQ> motorsep, remember though. I don't know what you're used to, but when you have the Ubuntu CD, you don't have to be OSless. :) You can always boot Ubuntu Live, connect to the internet and seek help if you need it. Comforting, isn't it? :)
[02:38] <Jack_Sparrow> motorsep: it is best to leave it as unpartitioned space, let the install program set up the swap partition and the Ubuntu partition, just tell it to use ann unallocated space
[02:38] <bla|patrick> in that wiki is not even an entry for mplayer and compiling
[02:38] <Jack_Sparrow> all
[02:38] <jjohn> Imwolf no pvt msg are here did you register
[02:39] <ImWolf> jjohnno
[02:39] <ImWolf> jjohn no
[02:39] <motorsep> XiXaQ, last time I attempted to install Kubuntu (previous release), installation would freeze on me :/ DVD image was downloaded from the Net. So I didn't even get to choose where I am going to install it.. Neither I was able to load LiveCD (again I downloaded it and burnt it through Nero) :/
[02:39] <technel> LjL, It works :D Thanks!
[02:39] <bla|patrick> and there is a minor problem... i have absolutly no idea how to compile :|
[02:40] <jjohn> Imwolf I do not tink you can pm till you register
[02:40] <gnomefreak> bla|patrick: go to mplayer.com (or whatever their site is) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MPlayer/Compile
[02:40] <Infern0o> lmwolf: you have to register in order to be able to reply ;)
[02:40] <ImWolf> jjohn can u give ur msn by priv?
[02:40] <ImWolf> Infern0o tx
[02:40] <Infern0o> lmwolf: type: /msg nickServ register and /msg nickServ help
[02:40] <gregg__> bla|patrick: you don't need to compile anything to get mplayer
[02:41] <ImWolf> ok
[02:41] <redcard> Anybody notice that vnc is really slow in Dapper?
[02:41] <Eclipse_GSX> yea
[02:41] <jjohn> inferno can you please help imwolf to deal with this??
[02:41] <Eclipse_GSX> i hate that shit
[02:41] <Infern0o> sure jjohn, np
[02:41] <bla|patrick> gregg__: i need the mplayer plugin version 3.21 to enable streams in opera
[02:41] <XiXaQ> motorsep, now, you have an easier way to check the medium before you start installation. I'd go about it this way: burn the Ubuntu CD. Reboot. Check the medium in the menu (I think it's the last item in the list, but you'll find it). If it's ok, boot into live. You'll install directly from the running desktop system.
[02:41] <gregg__> bla|patrick: oh, ok
[02:41] <ImWolf> ready
[02:41] <redcard> Though.. setting up mt-daapd for itunes sharing to my mac laptop was sweet
[02:42] <bla|patrick> in the repos is 3.17.whatever
[02:42] <Infern0o> lmwolf, ok, you identified yourself?
[02:43] <ImWolf> yes
[02:43] <interferon> i'd like a custom application to start whenever my webserver starts.  where can i find information on writing simple initscripts?
[02:43] <motorsep> XiXaQ, ok. thanks. I'll try.
[02:43] <motorsep> XiXaQ, is Ubuntu better than SUSE?
[02:43] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[02:43] <Infern0o> lmwolf, ok then let's continue in pm :)
[02:43] <XiXaQ> motorsep, besides, then, you already know that you have a working desktop system, which makes it alot easier to fix problems. You could even ask someone to install the system _for_ you, using remote desktop :)
[02:43] <bla|patrick> its different
[02:43] <bla|patrick> but better?
[02:43] <Jack_Sparrow> yes better
[02:44] <redcard> I think it's better because it is free.
[02:44] <redcard> In all senses
[02:44] <Jack_Sparrow> interferon: what type of custom app/script
[02:44] <interferon> Jack_Sparrow, a lisp application.  i just need it to be started automatically with my web server
[02:44] <Jack_Sparrow> We are down to 750 users in here, quick go wake your neighbors
[02:45] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[02:45] <DayDreame> hi, i'd like to install ubuntu on a reiserfs partition, it's important NOT TO LOSE the data on the existing partition
[02:45] <test> Jack_Sparrow: too far to walk
[02:45] <Jack_Sparrow> Same here
[02:45] <Frem> DayDreame, Then back up the data on the other partition.
[02:45] <mshiltonj> on Dapper, flash sound was flaky, but working -- at least recently. Suddenly (after routine updates?) flash sound stopped working entirely. I've searched and searched. Done aoss, done esddsp, etc.  Has anyone else reported flash sound on dapper suddenly not working when it previously was??
[02:45] <Infern0o> !modem
[02:45] <ubotu> You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DialupModemHowto
[02:45] <DayDreame> Frem, impossible, too large don't have that much space
[02:45] <Jack_Sparrow> DayDreame: IF you have a backup then not to worry ever.  No backup.. it is only a matter of time before it or any system will crash
[02:45] <XiXaQ> motorsep, very hard to say. Actually, it's very easy for me to say.. Yes, it is. However, most GNU/Linux distributions, or distros, use the same software components. Very much a matter of taste. But I'd say Ubuntu is better.
[02:46] <Infern0o> !drivers
[02:46] <bla|patrick> i dont get that compiling
[02:46] <ubotu> I know nothing about drivers - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[02:46] <bla|patrick> sorry
[02:46] <Infern0o> !driver
[02:46] <ubotu> I know nothing about driver - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[02:46] <bla|patrick> could someone help me
[02:46] <DayDreame> what options must i follow in the install menu
[02:46] <Frem> DayDreame, It's not impossible. Go buy a couple USB hard disks if your data is that important.
[02:46] <XiXaQ> motorsep, where are you from?
[02:46] <gregg__> flash sucks anyway. macromedia's support is just BAD. they don't even support windows 64-bit - and won't for a longer time
[02:46] <Infern0o> !modem > ImWolf
[02:46] <test> adobe......<snicker>
[02:47] <gregg__> and no flash8 for linux
[02:47] <DayDreame> i've tried manually partitionnh HD, and i don't change anything in the partitioning, and then i make sure "format partition" sin't selected
[02:47] <Jack_Sparrow> There is NO excuse for not having a backup.. NONE... Just because you have too much stuff does not mean you dont need to protect it.
[02:47] <gregg__> test: ah whatever. it has gotten even worse with adobe IMHO :)
[02:47] <DayDreame> will that guarantee that it won't mess with the partitioning table?
[02:47] <gregg__> I hope gnash will turn out to be usable
[02:48] <test> gregg__: yes it has. that's why i snickered
[02:48] <Jack_Sparrow> DayDreame: Never a guarantee when resizing partitions...
[02:48] <DayDreame> no resising
[02:48] <DayDreame> i just want to install ubuntu on a reiserfs partition, without the contents being destroyed
[02:49] <Jack_Sparrow> If you have unallocated space then that is all you need, the installer will use all unallocated space to create your swap and linux partition..
[02:49] <gregg__> DayDreame: at least with breezys partitioner it was possible, I don't know about dapper
[02:49] <gemidjy_> how do I make a certain folder a repository for apt-get ?
[02:50] <Jack_Sparrow> DayDreame: DO you already have a reiserfs partition with data on it that you dont want to lose?
[02:50] <Infern0o> !apt-get
[02:50] <ubotu> apt is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AptGetHowto  -  Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[02:50] <crogue5> a friend resized his ntfs 2 nights ago and installed dapper with out any problems
[02:50] <teimu> how do i give a file executable status?
[02:50] <crogue5> chmod +x
[02:50] <DayDreame> Jack_Sparrow yup
[02:50] <LjL> gemidjy_: it's not quite that simple, repositories are not simply random folders... but there are tools that can help you set them up
[02:50] <teimu> thats right...chmod. couldnt think of it
[02:51] <crogue5> :)
[02:51] <gemidjy_> LjL: any howto ?
[02:51] <philuk86> chmod 755 file
[02:51] <DayDreame> as well as a swapt and boot partitions that i pretend to share with gentoo
[02:51] <Jack_Sparrow> DayDreame: I would suggest against trying that
[02:51] <DayDreame> share/replace
[02:51] <GarretS> Anyone here willing to help me with wine?
[02:51] <AstroKing> I've got Ubuntu installed in Virtual PC 2004.  Sound is now working, as is internet.  However, it won't let me install any updates.  It fails to find any of the repositories.  Anyone know of a fix?
[02:51] <DayDreame> than you wouldn't suggest it heh
[02:51] <motorsep> XiXaQ, Texas
[02:51] <motorsep> XiXaQ, why?
[02:51] <Aesop> Woops... shoulda backed up my Xorg.conf, now I can't remember how I had dual monitors setup
[02:52] <Jack_Sparrow> Not if it was my data on that drive.. New drives are way to cheap to risk it
[02:52] <XiXaQ> motorsep, perhaps we have a Local Community there. You might want to hook up with them.
[02:52] <DayDreame> Jack_Sparrow how's that? i backed up the gentoo dirs in a separate directory shouldn't interfeer
[02:52] <AstroKing> Anyone know how to get updates working in VPC?
[02:52] <Aesop> ER, crud. What command-line editor is included by default on Ubuntu?
[02:52] <XiXaQ> gemidjy_, check /etc/apt/sources.list you can add sites there.
[02:52] <Aesop> Emacs isn;t. >_<
[02:52] <DayDreame> if i get it working i won't be booting gentoo anymore
[02:52] <skavenge> Aesop: nano
[02:52] <motorsep> XiXaQ, how can I find out where is it (community)?
[02:52] <Aesop> Thanks
[02:52] <gemidjy_> XiXaQ: naah, I dont ask that
[02:52] <gregg__> Aesop: ed
[02:53] <LjL> gemidjy_: i dunno. but try "apt-cache search apt repository" or "apt-cache search deb repository" or "apt-cache show reprepro" for some software
[02:53] <gemidjy_> LjL: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/repository-howto/repository-howto
[02:53] <GarretS> AstroKing: No one is listening to either of us
[02:53] <Jack_Sparrow> DayDreame: Feel free to go for it..  You know my opinion.  The fact that you are flying with no backup, and multiple windows and linux installs is not for the timid or noob..
[02:53] <bla|patrick> that tutorial says i should download plugins
[02:53] <bla|patrick> but what do i have to do with them
[02:53] <AstroKing> yeah i know, Garret
[02:53] <AstroKing> just figured i'd try here before i post on the forums
[02:54] <GarretS> Can someone listen to AstroKing??? He has a very important question....  I think!
[02:54] <gregg__> Aesop: remember, ed is teh standard unix text editor! (-:
[02:54] <DayDreame> Jack_Sparrow basically i want to know that the ubuntu installer won't mess with my partitions, let alone format them, unless i ask for it to
[02:54] <LjL> gemidjy_: cool. that article also reminded me of apt-move, which isn't found with the searches i suggested, but which still is probably among the most useful candidates for software you can try
[02:54] <AstroKing> I'm having trouble installing updates in 6.06 in VPC 2004.  Anyone know how to get it working?  Internet works fine, but updates don't.
[02:55] <Jack_Sparrow> GarretS: Why do people install a realy good OS then trash it trying to run emulators and their old programs that will never work as well emulated as they do in their native environment
[02:55] <NineTeen67Comet>  I know I need to change something to allow my access to my server to work on cups (normally https://localhost:631 ) .. I need to access my server through my network but https://192.168.0.2:631 isn't working .. help? (The server is running Ubuntu-Server 6.06) ..
[02:55] <Jack_Sparrow> DayDreame: it does nothing you dont ask it to do
[02:55] <test> what is vpc?
[02:55] <Infern0o> gregg__: i love nano too though :)
[02:55] <GarretS> Virtual PC
[02:55] <Jack_Sparrow> DayDreame: setup a 10 gig partition and install to that..
[02:56] <gregg__> Infern0o: too much bloat!
[02:56] <GarretS> Jack_Sparrow: I don't want to use windoze though, so I am using wine
[02:56] <Infern0o> gregg__: bloat?
[02:56] <test> hmmm is that a milolahdie thingy? ya know those other guys with the active x and stuff?
[02:56] <Jack_Sparrow> SAME DIFFERENCE
[02:56] <Infern0o> gregg__: garbage? :)
[02:56] <gregg__> Infern0o: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_bloat
[02:56] <Infern0o> gregg__: thx :)
[02:56] <DayDreame> Jack_Sparrow i got scared because i didn't change anything and it said it would proceed to write the partition table, which i don't want altered. i hope it won't change anything if i haven't asked it to, i just specified the swap and root partitions
[02:56] <teimu> what do i do to open .bin files?
[02:56] <jjohn> Any body help with Broadcom
[02:56] <ardchoille> I figured out how to get the Run Dialog to popup via a command/menu item:  gnome-panel-control --run-dialog
[02:57] <test> jjohn: What kind of broadcom?
[02:57] <AstroKing> I'm assuming nobody here uses Virtual PC 2004 or has any experience fixing updates that won't work?
[02:57] <Jack_Sparrow> DayDreame: Third and last time... I do NOT recommend it..
[02:57] <Infern0o> gregg__: ic, a good example would be azureus? :)
[02:57] <ankan> guys, I just got an Ipod Nano and I want to use it on dapper...is rhythmbox a good equivalent of ITunes....if it is r there any issues I need to be aware of?
[02:57] <bla|patrick> could someone explain me how to add that site to my repos
[02:58] <bla|patrick> i may find there a new deb with taht mplayer plugin
[02:58] <gregg__> Infern0o: yes, or openoffice

[02:58] <LjL> teimu: in the dir where the file resides, change their mode to executable (chmod +x filename), and "./filename"
[02:58] <gregg__> Infern0o: I wasn't really serious, calling nano bloatware, though :)
[02:58] <teimu> thanks LjL
[02:58] <LjL> teimu: also, if that's a program you're trying to install, make very sure there is not a ready-made Ubuntu package instead of that .bin
[02:58] <motorsep> XiXaQ, nice :) is there a web address of it?
[02:58] <XiXaQ> motorsep, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamList
[02:58] <Infern0o> gregg__: you can't call it fatware :PPP
[02:59] <jjohn> test I just installed broadcom cutter 43xx and it nearly works iwconfig is giving me an invalid access point message
[02:59] <Jack_Sparrow> Someone talking about me
[02:59] <teimu> there a google earth package?
[02:59] <gregg__> DayDreame: I wouldn't do something like that without backups
[02:59] <XiXaQ> motorsep, actually, there are several in Texas...
[02:59] <AstroKing> Guess I'll try somewhere else that can help, thanks anyway.
[02:59] <test> jjohn: why noyty use ndiswrapper? It'll take 5 minutes if that.
[02:59] <Jack_Sparrow> google earth bin works fine in Ubuntu here
[02:59] <motorsep> XiXaQ, ok. got it . thanks a bunch!
[02:59] <gregg__> hard drives are so damn cheap these days, DAMN cheap! :-)
[03:00] <Infern0o> hell yeah :)
[03:00] <Jack_Sparrow> 200 gig was $50 after rebate
[03:00] <LjL> teimu: no. at least i don't think one has been made available
[03:00] <teimu> ok...then im good to go
[03:00] <jjohn> test do I need to unistall or just blunder on over top NOOB
[03:00] <Jack_Sparrow> teimu:  google earth bin works fine in Ubuntu here
[03:00] <XiXaQ> motorsep, you're welcome. :)
[03:00] <test> jjohn: NOOB?
[03:00] <teimu> Jack_Sparrow, likewise
[03:01] <redcard> It'd be pretty cool if Google Earth worked on PPC Linux

[03:01] <Jack_Sparrow> redcard: DOnt they have a mac version?

[03:02] <Aesop> Hah, found it
[03:02] <Jack_Sparrow> gotta run, the wife just got home
[03:02] <Aesop> It was on the Gentoo Wiki, no wonder I couldnt find it =D
[03:02] <test> Oh. I set up my broadcom with ndis wrapper in 5 minutes. it works like a dream.

[03:06] <distanceisdeath> Hello everyone
[03:06] <Infern0o> !apt
[03:06] <ubotu> apt is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AptGetHowto  -  Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[03:07] <distanceisdeath> my computer has been off for several days and when ubuntu starts up it cannot get past the "Mounting root file system"
[03:07] <digitalslave> why is it that ubuntu cannot open games in full screen?
[03:07] <digitalslave> the last kernel update did until i updated yet again yesterday
[03:07] <test> jjohn: I got my drivers from dell directly and they work great
[03:07] <NineTeen67Comet> Hi all .. I'm trying to get samba up and running in a Ubuntu-server (and #ubuntu-server is dead) .. although samba seems to start fine .. smbclient -L localhost -U% leads to smbclient not found .. help? (I'm ultimately wanting printer sharing)
[03:07] <assssss> omfg
[03:08] <assssss> i am so cool
[03:08] <digitalslave> examples of games that do not work in full screen : quake 3 - enemy territory - warzone 2000
[03:09] <digitalslave> with nvidia 5600 256 and nvidia drivers
[03:09] <Bon_ez> hey all, I just removed a 85gb fat32 partition and then reformatted it as ext3, i have mounted it but I can not write to it, only read. any ideas?
[03:09] <jjohn> test I got my machine from acer
[03:09] <Aesop> What's the GLX gears command?
[03:10] <Aesop> glx-gears -fps?
[03:10] <NineTeen67Comet> Aesop: glxgears
[03:10] <test> oh then you can probably get working drivers from the acer webpage?
[03:10] <digitalslave> -info
[03:10] <NineTeen67Comet> oops .. I don't know why the fpm isn't showing up .. usually it does.
[03:10] <distanceisdeath> My ubuntu cannot get past startup. what should i do?
[03:10] <Bon_ez> hey all, I just removed a 85gb fat32 partition and then reformatted it as ext3, i have mounted it but I can not write to it, only read. any ideas?
[03:10] <Infern0o> Bon_ez are you sure you made it ext3? since that sounds a lot like you formatted it to ntfs ;)
[03:11] <Infern0o> !spam
[03:11] <ubotu> I know nothing about spam - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[03:11] <Bon_ez> Infern0o: it's def ext3. it even has a lost+found folder
[03:11] <digitalslave> just use -info switch to get fps in term
[03:11] <Aesop> NineTeen67Comet; Know what the command is that reports FPS?
[03:11] <Aesop> Right
[03:11] <gregg__> Bon_ez: you have to adjust the permissions to be able to write to it as a user
[03:11] <Bon_ez> gregg__: how do I do this?
[03:11] <Infern0o> Bon_ez: have you checked the size of your new drive, and how much space you have left?
[03:11] <gregg__> Bon_ez: chown/chmod
[03:12] <Bon_ez> Infern0o: yes it has 80gb free.
[03:12] <NineTeen67Comet> Aesop: I dunno .. I'm dumbfounded on this one ..
[03:12] <Infern0o> Bon_ez: it seems like gregg will be able to aid you better then i ;)
[03:12] <Bon_ez> gregg__: i have done "sudo chown myuser.mygroup /mountpoint" and also "sudo chmod 777 /mountpoint"
[03:12] <gregg__> Bon_ez: try sudo chown <username> /dir/to/it
[03:12] <jjohn> test the last time I went ot Acer I got the run around I will read the howto that inferferno just posted loks like I can blacklist my bcm drivers and ndiswrapper them
[03:12] <Aesop> NineTeen67Comet; NP
[03:12] <Bon_ez> and i still can not write to it
[03:12] <ckknight> Has anybody here gotten fglrx to work with an ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M?
[03:12] <digitalslave> are you on live cd Bon_ez ?
[03:13] <test> jjohn: that is what i did. the post i read was more concise but it should work fine.
[03:13] <Bon_ez> digitalslave: nope, normal install
[03:13] <digitalslave> hrm
[03:13] <gregg__> Bon_ez: sounds strange
[03:13] <NineTeen67Comet> Bon_ez: try sudo chown -R yourname:yourgroup directory ...
[03:13] <Bon_ez> NineTeen67Comet: ok 2 secs
[03:13] <digitalslave> ne -R
[03:13] <gregg__> Bon_ez: chmod 777 would even allow anyone to do anything!
[03:13] <digitalslave> i mean no -R capital
[03:13] <jjohn> Test  OK then I will give it a try then report any probs here tommorrow if needed
[03:14] <Bon_ez> gregg__: yeah nobody else uses my machine, it's just a home desktop pc with 1 user account :)
[03:14] <test> jjohn: okay if i can help i will certainly try. good luck
[03:14] <digitalslave> so no one else with full screen problems?
[03:14] <skavenge> !frostwire
[03:14] <ubotu> frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[03:14] <Bon_ez> NineTeen67Comet: thanks for your help, that fixed it :)
[03:15] <NineTeen67Comet> Cool .. I was bout to say if that didn't work, then we could play with your fstab ..
[03:15] <digitalslave> anyone know of a way to revert to the older kernel and where to get it
[03:15] <digitalslave> before yesterdays update
[03:15] <gregg__> Bon_ez: the partition wasn't empty? :)
[03:15] <jjohn> Bye all I am going to play with my ndiswrapper!!!
[03:15] <Fjodor> digitalslave: The old kernel should still be available as a boot option
[03:16] <Bon_ez> gregg__: yeah it was empty but it had a lost+found folder on it
[03:16] <NineTeen67Comet> digitalslave: you "should" be able to install it via synaptic and make sure it's correctly selected in /boot/grub/menu.lst after the install ..
[03:16] <test> Infern0o: thanks. it dont mean much to me though. i know who i am. :)
[03:16] <Fjodor> digitalslave: And you could remove the new one via synaptic and remove completely option
[03:16] <digitalslave> Fjodor i thought so but didnt know if it just replaced the version cause i didnt have to upgrade my drivers with that kernel update
[03:17] <digitalslave> Fjodor sounds like it would break crap :)
[03:17] <gregg__> Bon_ez: or, maybe you adjusted the permissions before mounting the new fs?
[03:17] <Fjodor> digitalslave: No, actually the system keeps track of all kernels installed, and removing one doesn't break anything
[03:17] <digitalslave> bigger problem is why does ubuntu not allow fullscreen mode?
[03:17] <gregg__> Bon_ez: I'd really like to sort out what the culprit was in this case
[03:17] <Bon_ez> gregg__: nah i created a new mountpoint and called it /d but i just didn't set the permissions from the looks of things
[03:18] <Bon_ez> gregg__: the -R fixed it
[03:18] <XiXaQ> Ubuntu Translation teams have a channel?
[03:18] <redcard> Anyone know of a video jukebox program?
[03:18] <digitalslave> only thing thats dfferent from boot was kernel image
[03:18] <Fjodor> digitalslave: but the old one was still there as an option, right?
[03:19] <Bon_ez> gregg__: now to copy the ~70gig of data back across from the samba share on another pc... :/
[03:19] <digitalslave> gonna check in a sec
[03:19] <cius> finally, I have a WM with a borderless option
[03:19] <digitalslave> checking some things in synaptic first
[03:19] <assssss> Hi, i need help to find VLC media player but I can't find it in Synaptic?
[03:19] <digitalslave> all other kernels would not allow the full screen either - was totally exstatic when it worked with that one
[03:19] <Infern0o> assssss: apt-get install vlc ;)
[03:20] <cius> assssss, not sure, but you might need the universe repos...
[03:20] <digitalslave> you dont have all the repositories assssss
[03:20] <Fjodor> digitalslave: If you remove the new one, you will be prompted to upgrade, though. You should just uncheck the kernel on future upgrades, until you want it upgraded
[03:20] <Infern0o> true
[03:20] <bimberi> assssss: have a look under Applications -> Add/Remove... - make sure 'Show unsupported applications' is checkec
[03:20] <digitalslave> true that Fjodor
[03:20] <bimberi> *checked
[03:20] <digitalslave> just miffs me cause ive never had this problem with any distro ive ran
[03:21] <Fjodor> digitalslave: What is this fullscreen you talk about?
[03:21] <Infern0o> :o
[03:21] <digitalslave> quake 3 - enemy territory - warzone 2000 will not open in fullscreen when told to
[03:21] <Infern0o> !fullscreen
[03:22] <ubotu> I know nothing about fullscreen - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[03:22] <Fjodor> digitalslave: Ok. Thought something completely different
[03:22] <Infern0o> meh
[03:22] <digitalslave> it did finally for one kernel out of like 8 then i upgrade kernel again and it doesnt work fullscreen anymore
[03:22] <test> i think there is a problem somewhere in the current update personally
[03:23] <Fjodor> digitalslave: You _could_ just make yourself boot the working one everytime. There is probably something that can be done with menu.lst and update-grub, but I wouldn't know. Read the comments in it
[03:23] <echobinary> which would you prefer: P3 500MHz, or a Celeron 600MHz
[03:23] <Se7h> http://suindara.ubuntupt.org/ is up with new url :)
[03:23] <Infern0o> P3!!!
[03:23] <digitalslave> ok gonna reboot and see if its still in the boot list - yeah ive messed with that stuff before but would like to stay current and solve the actual problem
[03:23] <digitalslave> brb
[03:24] <echobinary> even though the P3 has a slower clock speed?
[03:24] <Infern0o> jah
[03:24] <echobinary> why?
[03:25] <Infern0o> google: pentium vs celeron
[03:25] <Infern0o> :-)
[03:25] <echobinary> ok
[03:25] <vinboy> what is the difference between main restricted universe multiverse?
[03:26] <Fjodor> vinboy: It's levels of association with the core distro. Restricted is stuff they can't include by default, universe is sort of experimental, and multiverse even more so
[03:27] <bimberi> !components

[03:27] <Bentley333> anyone around that can help me with a software raid on 6.06?
[03:27] <vdepizzol> how I boot ubuntu from NTLDR?
[03:27] <bimberi> vinboy: that first link from ubotu (above) explains things
[03:28] <vinboy> thanks
[03:29] <digitalslave> neither 25 or 26 will go fullscreen anymore - totally pissed
[03:31] <Saxywolf> In Windows, I would simply run the WAMP server, and then it would be "on". Is there an easy way to setup a similar install on a standard Ubuntu install?
[03:32] <vdepizzol> how I boot ubuntu from NTLDR?
[03:32] <hawkaloogie> Saxywolf, xampp iirc
[03:32] <MTecknology> What should I use to open a .db file?
[03:32] <digitalslave> why would you vdepizzol ?
[03:32] <digitalslave> depends on what you want to do with it MTecknology
[03:32] <Saxywolf> thx hawkaloogie
[03:33] <MTecknology> I'm using it for a factoid databse
[03:33] <Vann> how can I view the wireless connections active near me?
[03:33] <XiXaQ> hmm, I'm trying to sign the code of conduct. I don't have a secret gpg key, however. How do I make one?
[03:33] <Vann> I can't find the tool to do it..
[03:33] <digitalslave> kismet Vann
[03:33] <vdepizzol> digitalslave, I can't change the boot loader in this computer. Or I use NTLDR or I boot from floppy disk
[03:33] <nalioth> does anyone remember way back when the us archives were wonky, how to reset the md5sums that apt-get uses?
[03:33] <Infern0o> Vann: gnome-network-manager
[03:33] <assssss> i have installed VLC, now how do i run it?
[03:33] <Fjodor> Vann: iwlist <interface> scan
[03:33] <digitalslave> dont know where to put it vdepizzol ?
[03:34] <XiXaQ> assssss, from the Programs menu...
[03:34] <Vann> Infern0o, I don't have that
[03:34] <bimberi> assssss: Applications -> Sound & Video -> VLC  ??
[03:34] <Infern0o> Vann: use Fjodor's way then
[03:34] <Fjodor> G'night all
[03:34] <XiXaQ> night Fjodor :)
[03:35] <Vann> Infern0o, err... how do i figure out which device is the wireless card
[03:35] <Vann> Infern0o, there was a tool i had up earlier that just showed the active ones and let me choose one, but I can't find it
[03:35] <Infern0o> Vann: That's gnome-network-manager
[03:35] <MTecknology> digitalslave, I'm using it for a factoid databse
[03:35] <Woosta> Anyone know why aclocal isn't in the autoconf package?
[03:36] <vdepizzol> digitalslave, I tried using dd, creating a .img file and putting in boot.ini, but it don't worked
[03:36] <Vann> Infern0o, then why don't I have that command..
[03:36] <Woosta> (or more importantly, where it IS?)
[03:36] <Infern0o> Vann: ah, you want a command?
[03:36] <MTecknology> digitalslave, nvm
[03:36] <digitalslave> heh
[03:36] <Infern0o> Vann: gnome network manager is the program :)
[03:36] <Bentley333> ANyone familiar with mdadm and RAID1?
[03:37] <Infern0o> Vann: do you have a cable connection on you linux distro atm?
[03:37] <Vann> Infern0o, no, this is my desktop, I'm trying to get my lappy on the wireless
[03:38] <Vann> Infern0o, ah.. i found the device, eth1
[03:38] <Infern0o> Vann: hmm the easyest way is to cable connect your laptop first to download that program
[03:38] <dadgumit> hi all
[03:38] <Infern0o> Vann: otherwise use this

[03:39] <Infern0o> Vann: but i'm telling you, cable connecting and downloading that network manager will save you from a lot of trouble ;)
[03:39] <Jack_Sparrow> I just did the apt-get kubuntu-desktop but this isnt KDE it is still gnome, how do I switch?
[03:40] <zoidberg> doesn anyone know how to install the deveas packages for ubuntu through the terminal perhaps?
[03:40] <ic56> nalioth: hmmm, upon investigation it looks like that only worked for a specific config file.  sorry.
[03:40] <zoidberg> sorry i mean SEVEAS not deveas
[03:40] <digitalslave> switch before logging in
[03:40] <Infern0o> Dimensions: you'll have to format it first ;)
[03:40] <dswillia74437> hey all trying to install compiz on dapper doing a sudo apt-get install compiz and it is telling me it cant find the package
[03:40] <Vann> Infern0o, i think i have it
[03:40] <Vann> Infern0o, I just have to find it..
[03:40] <digitalslave> all repositories dswillia74437 ?
[03:40] <zoidberg> can someone help me
[03:40] <ic56> Dimensions: you must partition and format hte new disk before you can mount it
[03:40] <dswillia74437> enable all reps?
[03:40] <zoidberg> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18397
[03:41] <digitalslave> follow the forum for the video card specific on forum
[03:41] <vdepizzol> digitalslave, ?
[03:41] <nalioth> ic56: thanks, but this was an issue with the us archives giving out malformed md5sums for the files
[03:42] <nalioth> ic56: so i'm looking to find out where apt keeps its list of md5 data (to checksum the files)
[03:42] <Infern0o> Vann: ah you think you have the network manager?
[03:42] <Infern0o> Vann: it should be in your system tray then :)
[03:42] <Infern0o> Vann: most probably a small cable icon
[03:43] <Vann> Infern0o, there is a Networking and a Networking Tools icons
[03:43] <Dimensions> ic56:  and how i do that ... when i tried to load it with live cd ... it gave error and didn't boot
[03:43] <Vann> Infern0o, neither do what the thing I somehow pulled up before did
[03:43] <Infern0o> Vann: ah no, those are the standard ubuntu tools :)
[03:43] <david__> how do i apt-get install modphp
[03:43] <Infern0o> Vann: what did you pull off before? :)
[03:43] <srikanth> ls
[03:43] <srikanth> clear
[03:43] <david__> im not sure of what the name is that i have to use
[03:44] <Vann> Infern0o, I had a window open that had all the wireless connections I could see, and I could double click on a connection to join it
[03:44] <ic56> Dimensions: I don't know if there is a GUI way to do that yet.  Have you used the command line before?
[03:44] <Infern0o> Vann: ah, and you did it on this install?
[03:44] <Vann> Infern0o, that would be possible...
[03:44] <Vann> Infern0o, sucks.
[03:44] <Dimensions> yes ic56 but i dont know the commands in ubuntu for formating usb
[03:45] <david__> im trying to build php pages, what is the mod i need for it?
[03:45] <Infern0o> Vann: hmmm, by my knowings the standard networking tools don't provide that
[03:45] <Jack_Sparrow> Dimensions: the ultimate boot cd might just be the answer to that..  Run live and do all sorts of stuff
[03:46] <Infern0o> Vann: the only thing you can do is terminal: iwconfig eth1
[03:46] <Infern0o> Vann: to get a list of wireless access points
[03:46] <ic56> Dimensions: hmm.  I've never done USB disks.  Hopefully someone else can help you
[03:47] <Dimensions> ic56:  got the command :P
[03:47] <Dimensions> thank you ic56
[03:48] <Jack_Sparrow> ic56 does your bios allow booting to usb disks
[03:48] <Vann> Infern0o, I found the ESSID, and I have the WEP password, but the networking tool is taking a while to connect
[03:48] <boingolov> vann, what type of NIC is it?
[03:48] <ic56> Jack_Sparrow: Dimensions is the one needing help with adding a new USB disk, not me.
[03:48] <Jack_Sparrow> ah
[03:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Dimensions: does your bios allow booting to usb disks
[03:50] <Vann> boingolov, not sure.  how can i check?
[03:50] <ozzloy> Vann: when booting, there should be an option like "press f8 for boot menu"
[03:51] <NineTeen67Comet> Hi all .. I've got cups working to the point I can get to the cups web access screen, however I can't add printer .. it hands me an error 404 error...
[03:51] <boingolov> vann, uh, well, you could do a scanpci
[03:51] <ozzloy> Vann: and in that menu should be something like "boot order".  it will probly be in there
[03:51] <NineTeen67Comet> What'd I forget?
[03:51] <boingolov> vann, you don't know which type of NIC you have in your computer?
[03:51] <boingolov> what type of comptuer is it?
[03:51] <boingolov> computer even
[03:51] <Vann> boingolov, i think its PRO/Wireless 2200BG (Intel)
[03:51] <boingolov> ahh, okies
[03:51] <boingolov> same one I have
[03:52] <Tommy2k4> kubuntu has crashed twice tonight
[03:52] <boingolov> ipw2200 module
[03:52] <Vann> hmm, apparently copying from a laptop to a computer doesnt work :D
[03:52] <Vann> boingolov, so what does that mean?
[03:52] <Infern0o> !apt
[03:52] <navyn> does anybody know how to use checkinstall?
[03:52] <ubotu> apt is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AptGetHowto  -  Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[03:52] <NineTeen67Comet> !cups
[03:52] <ubotu> Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[03:52] <boingolov> vann, should work well, and with the default dapper install even
[03:52] <Vann> boingolov, I've connected to the wireless network's before, but they were unencrypted
[03:52] <Absolutionx> Guys I deleted my Window's Partition
[03:53] <boingolov> with WEP, it can be a bit different
[03:53] <NineTeen67Comet> Absolutionx: bout time Absolutionx .. live is good'r when that's done ..
[03:53] <Absolutionx> partition
[03:53] <Vann> boingolov, i have the key though, and I've tried the hex and the plain options and neither seemed to work
[03:53] <Absolutionx> http://www.ubergeek.tv/article.php?pid=54
[03:53] <Se7h> wtf
[03:53] <Vann> boingolov, the networking thing doesn't even tell me if it didn't work, it just stops trying.
[03:54] <boingolov> do you have a program in your Internet thingy in your little menu that says "Wireless Assistant" ?
[03:54] <Vann> boingolov, nope :(
[03:56] <boingolov> vann, sudo apt-get install wlassistant
[03:56] <Vann> boingolov, that... requires internet..
[03:57] <HellDragon> reboot :)
[03:57] <boingolov> hehe
[03:57] <boingolov> oh yah, chicken / egg
[03:57] <NineTeen67Comet> Anyone got an idea of what I am forgetting that I get 403 Forbidden .. when I try to add a printer? (Accessed port :631 via another computer) ..
[03:57] <Vann> boingolov, are there manual commands I cna use to do it?
[03:57] <Vann> boingolov, I don't get any feedback from this GUI front-end.
[03:57] <javiolo> vann get the debs...
[03:57] <XiXaQ> How do I deaktivate Bit Torrent in Opera? I'd like Azureus to handle .torrent files.
[03:58] <Vann> javiolo, from where?
[03:59] <boingolov> vann, one thing with wlanassistant (which may or may not be already installed, type "wlanassistant" into a shell to find out) is that it times out pretty quickly.  sometimes, especially on a weak signal, it will say connection failed even though the dhcp client is still trying to nab an IP address
[03:59] <javiolo> van go to packages.ubuntu.com search wlassistan
[03:59] <javiolo> van go to packages.ubuntu.com search wlassistant
[03:59] <boingolov> do an ifconfig to see if you get an IP address, and iwconfig to see if you're associated with the AP
[03:59] <Vann> javiolo, I don't have internet on the computer I'm doing this on.
[04:00] <boingolov> still though, you should totally ditch WEP and do wpa_supplicant, connect to the AP using WPA
[04:00] <boingolov> the ipw2200 driver works great with WPA
[04:00] <javiolo> vann you are connecter right now no _
[04:00] <Vann> javiolo, Yes, which means I'm not trying to get an internet connection on this computer.
[04:01] <Vann> boingolov, i'm disassociate with it
[04:01] <Vann> boingolov, *disassociated*
[04:01] <javiolo> vann ok take the files on a usb disk and copy to the other computer
[04:01] <Bon_ez> meow
[04:01] <Absolutionx> CAPS LOCK! "Cruise Control for Awesome"
[04:02] <forevertheuni> hi..hmm..don't know why my adept crashed...and now my db is locked(it says it is running a adept/apt/aptitude) how can I solve this?
[04:02] <Bon_ez> forevertheuni: reboot
[04:02] <javiolo> vann the other computer is near _
[04:02] <forevertheuni> Bon_ez: I've reboot already
[04:02] <NineTeen67Comet> What can I apt-get to allow mplayer to play avi files? I downloaded elephants dream, and it's having issues playing it ..
[04:03] <Bon_ez> NineTeen67Comet: have you tried automatix and installed all the codecs etc?
[04:03] <Infern0o> javiolo: that's why i told him, use cable connection to make this work ;
[04:03] <Infern0o> javiolo :)
[04:03] <Absolutionx> Automatix is a Banned word in this channel ONLY EASYUBUNTU
[04:03] <NineTeen67Comet> Bon_ez: nope . I did follow some codec wiki though .. I'll try automatix ..
[04:04] <Vann> Infern0o, bah, the wireless tools are challenging me.  I won't back down without a decent fight
[04:04] <redcard> Why is automatix so banneD? :)
[04:04] <Bon_ez> NineTeen67Comet: yeah automatix does everything for you, it's great
[04:04] <Vann> Infern0o, might learn something too, other than to depend on a nice front-end. ;D
[04:04] <javiolo> Infern0o ok didnt read what you said...
[04:04] <HellDragon> If I install wmake following the tutorial on ubuntu.org i will still have KDE gnome and fxce after ?
[04:04] <HellDragon> wmaker*
[04:04] <NineTeen67Comet> Bon_ez: I'm googeling for it now .. apt is missing it ..
[04:04] <Infern0o> Vann, hey i tried too ;)
[04:05] <Saxywolf> I installed xampp, but when I try to run it, I get:
[04:05] <Saxywolf> XAMPP: Another web server daemon is already running.
[04:05] <Saxywolf> XAMPP: Another MySQL daemon is already running.
[04:05] <Saxywolf> How do I find out what they are, kill them, and stop them from running again?
[04:05] <VoX> !nvidia
[04:05] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:05] <Infern0o> Vann, it's just that when using wireless on a laptop, you'll want to roam a lot of wireless networks anyway
[04:05] <Bon_ez> NineTeen67Comet: apt is not meant to have it, there's a thread on ubuntuforums.org which contains all the info you need in order to run automatix :)
[04:05] <Infern0o> Vann, and it's totally unpractical to keep using the terminal for that ;)
[04:05] <roughtrader> I have an AMD X2 processor. how do I turn off CPU scaling?
[04:06] <Absolutionx> !Ati
[04:06] <javiolo> Im out of the x windows, how do I change the keyboards keys _
[04:06] <NineTeen67Comet> Bon_ez: I'm reading a thread about it now ..
[04:06] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:06] <javiolo> it works ok on the x
[04:06] <NineTeen67Comet> I'm not in the US so .. um .. might be okay ..
[04:06] <javiolo> but here changes
[04:06] <HellDragon> wow
[04:07] <zob000> anyone: i am going crazy here ... i am passing diff -aur --exclude-from=<file> yet i stll get /CVS/Entries diffs ... yes the file contains */CVS/*
[04:08] <Absolutionx> Yo is like USA gonna nuke Israel?
[04:08] <dadgumit> doubtful
[04:08] <Bon_ez> Absolutionx: hope not. they should just mind their own business
[04:08] <dadgumit> why would they?
[04:08] <Vann> So is there an easier way to set all the parts of the wireless connection than inputting them by hand?
[04:08] <Saxywolf> er, I think the US (bush) is behind Israel
[04:08] <Absolutionx> CNN is saying all this crazy stuff
[04:08] <dadgumit> Absolutionx: don't believe the hype
[04:08] <Bon_ez> CNN = media = hyped up crap on a stick
[04:09] <Absolutionx> like "There are terrorists training camps in the USA and they are gonna kill us all"
[04:09] <dadgumit> Absolutionx: TV is teh sux
[04:09] <Absolutionx> rofl
[04:09] <Infern0o> Vann: yeah, wire network your laptop, download gnome-network-manager, and use that for your wireless connection...
[04:09] <zob000> Absolutionx, israel got the ok *before* firing dont ou think ?
[04:09] <jshriver> greetings
[04:09] <Bon_ez> jshriver: howdy
[04:09] <jshriver> I setup xgl as per the XGL howto, and now my system is hosed..
[04:09] <Bon_ez> jshriver: what happened to your system
[04:10] <jshriver> how can I fix it? or rever to an earlier setup? I tried deleting the gdm.conf and XF86Config files and replacing them with the backups I made prior to the changes
[04:10] <jshriver> well, when I boot it auto goes into gdm, but gdm crashes
[04:10] <jshriver> loads the Nvidia logo.. flickers and restarts
[04:10] <Vann> How do I tell iwconfig to associate the wireless connection once I set all the parameters?
[04:10] <jshriver> but I can't even ctrl-alt-f1 to get to a vconsole..
[04:10] <Bon_ez> jshriver: i somehow installed and then uninstalled xgl/compiz but i don't remember how i did it now :( it was a pain to remove it
[04:11] <n3rdism> jshriver: you can get rid of that logo on boot ya know
[04:11] <Infern0o> Vann: dhclient eth1
[04:11] <Bon_ez> jshriver: good news is it can be done though, even if you have to boot from a livecd
[04:11] <|rt|> how long does it normally take a new version of something to make its way into the repositories?
[04:11] <Bon_ez> jshriver: have you googled how to remove xgl or checked ubuntuforums?
[04:11] <jshriver> I'd like to fix it so I can use xgl/compiz.. but right now I just want my machine up and running
[04:11] <jshriver> hrm.. I can apt-get remove xserver-xgl etc..
[04:11] <Vann> ooo, discovers
[04:11] <Flannel> |rt|: new versions being bugfixes? or new features?
[04:11] <jshriver> but this didnt happen till after I made the gdm modifications to load Xgl instead of X
[04:11] <Flannel> jshriver: #ubuntu+1 will be able to help.
[04:12] <|rt|> Flannel: features...I'm interested in Blender 2.42
[04:12] <jshriver> so thinking it's in there
[04:12] <Dimensions> can any one tell me abt this command .. sudo mkfs .ext3 -b 4096 -L ?
[04:12] <Infern0o> Vann, yeah, but you need requests// offers :-)
[04:12] <Vann> Infern0o, :(
[04:12] <Flannel> |rt|: the new version of blender will never be in dapper.  It'll be in edgy though.
[04:12] <|rt|> Flannel: why is that?
[04:12] <Infern0o> Vann: you might wonna try all of this first with you network security off :)
[04:13] <Vann> Infern0o, eh.. I'd have to go through the dad to get into the router..
[04:13] <Flannel> |rt|: because with ubuntu releases, versions are all frozen, except for bugfixes.
[04:13] <|rt|> Flannel: what about in multiverse?
[04:13] <Vann> Infern0o, he is paranoid.  Won't even let me port forward to get ssh server love.
[04:13] <Infern0o> Vann: it's just easyer to locate the problem, but don't worry :
[04:13] <Dimensions> guys how can i install ubuntu on brand new hdd which has never been used ?
[04:13] <Bon_ez> dr phil
[04:13] <Flannel> |rt|: even in multiverse
[04:13] <Flannel> Dimensions: just like normal
[04:14] <Vann> Infern0o, meh, I give up for the night, going to attempt to entertain myself now.  Gratzi for the help/banter.
[04:14] <|rt|> Flannel: ah that's a bummer...I guess I'll have to install it via another means
[04:14] <Bon_ez> |rt|: how were you wanting to install it?
[04:14] <Dimensions> Flannel:  new hdd can't be booted like normal because on normal it stores live cd data ... while new one has no partition on it etc
[04:14] <ic56> Dimensions: specify the disk is USB.  Such disks are unusual
[04:15] <|rt|> Bon_ez: well i was hoping for an aptget solution...that would uninstall 2.41 and install the new version
[04:15] <Shak-> anyone got the name of a program that'll extract the icon from a .exe?
[04:15] <Flannel> Dimensions: I dont understand what the problem is.
[04:15] <Bon_ez> |rt|: but didn't you just say it's a brand new hdd with nothing on it?
[04:15] <Bon_ez> |rt|:  oops i'm mega confused... ignore me :)
[04:15] <Dimensions> ic56:  i have searched online got stuff on it ... but the disk they said is a smaller in size so i have to know abt the command they have given what should i replace it with ...
[04:16] <|rt|> Bon_ez: hehe /ignore bon_ez
[04:16] <Dimensions> Flannel:  i have a new hdd which nvr been used bfore ... connected on usb ... i want to make an image on it from hdd using dd command but first have to mount it as its new it can't be mounted without partitions etc
[04:16] <Flannel> |rt|: you're welcome to compile your own, and other non-official ubuntu repositories might have it, etc.  (A few people keep their own repositories with new stuff)
[04:17] <|rt|> Flannel: yeah i'll keep an eye out for it...thanks
[04:17] <Flannel> Dimensions: er, So, you're not trying to install ubuntu on it, you're trying to mirror another drive?
[04:17] <ic56> Dimensions: and when I told you that I didn't know of a GUI way to add a disk, I thought you were trying to add a disk to an existing installation.  But *during* the install process, the installer's menus should list your drive and let you partition it.
[04:17] <dadgumit> n3rdism: hola
[04:18] <n3rdism> dadgumit: whats happening
[04:18] <dadgumit> not a whole lot, kinda just starting to get the computer where I want it (settings etc..)
[04:18] <dadgumit> what you up to?
[04:19] <ic56> Dimensions: wow, you do *not* mount a disk before dd'ing to it!  Your intentions are getting increasingly muddled.  What *exactly* is your end goal?
[04:19] <n3rdism> dadgumit: nice; im just hanging out lol oblivion was finally done when i came home from work today at 5 XD
[04:19] <n3rdism> dadgumit: and just got an ac in my window so my pc can have a little cool air for it
[04:20] <Dimensions> Flannel: i tried to install ubuntu on it ... didn't work it gave an error ... synci some thing and i have to do installation on more than one hdd one is new other are old ... i was told if i could mirror it from hdd (two of hdd has errors therefore ) it will be bootable copy and should work ..
[04:20] <Dimensions> the installation doesn't work from cd with hdd having errors ... and neither with new hdd ...
[04:20] <Shak-> how can I save my iwconfig settings across boots?
[04:20] <Dimensions> ic56:  that is only one ... to install ubuntu on all hdds
[04:20] <n3rdism> shak-: across boots?
[04:21] <Flannel> Dimensions: instead of dealing with mirroring, you're probably better off just installing straight to it.  The CD should have no preference as to whether you have a HD even.
[04:21] <Shak-> n3rdism: right, like I turn my computer on, then off, I want the iwconfig settings I set previously to remain
[04:21] <Shak-> right now I have to enter the essid and key each time
[04:21] <Flannel> Dimensions: er, you only need ubuntu once per computer
[04:21] <javiolo> dimensions run the livecd and then install
[04:22] <Dimensions> guys sorry but as i said two hdd has errors when i tried directly my first preference was that ... it gave errors on hdd and i checked hdds in windows it has bsectors ... while the new one gave error and live cd didn't boot
[04:22] <rexbron> What command should enter in the terminal so that I can check the chipset for my Ethernet
[04:22] <ic56> Dimensions: ok. you need to adjust your vocabulary.  What you want to do is to install Ubuntu on your computer.  The computer has many disks and you want to make all of them available to Ubuntu.
[04:23] <DarkMageZ> !rhythmbox
[04:23] <ubotu> Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Banshee, Beep Media Player, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine  -  See also !codecs
[04:23] <|rt|> what's the ubuntu channel to discuss non ubuntu support related things?
[04:23] <n3rdism> Shak-: put the settings you are using for iwconfig in /proc/net/wireless
[04:23] <Dimensions> ic56:  ... i have many computers ... i want to install ubuntu on them ...
[04:23] <ic56> Dimensions: one computer at a time :-)
[04:23] <n3rdism> Shak-: if you want more info check out: http://www.linuxcommand.org/man_pages/iwconfig8.html
[04:23] <rexbron>  What command should enter in the terminal so that I can check the chipset for my Ethernet?
[04:24] <Dimensions> ic56:  after they didn't work directly i connected them via usb one by one ... the rest as i said ..
[04:24] <bimberi> |rt|: #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:24] <Flannel> Dimensions: you'll be better off using the CD on each.  Get the alternate CD, you boot straight into the installer, instead of having to go through the liveCD.
[04:24] <DarkMageZ> anyone know how i can get my multimedia keys working with rhythmbox under ubuntu dapper?
[04:24] <n3rdism> Shak-: this might be of help as well: http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Linux.Wireless.Extensions.html
[04:24] <Flannel> Dimensions: you'll want to let hardware detection do it's thing.
[04:24] <ic56> Dimensions: if the hd has bad sectors, perhaps booting into the liveCD and then running badblocks from the command line on that disk would solve the your problme.
[04:25] <Dimensions> ic56:  exactly thats what i did and it didn't booted with live cd even ...
[04:25] <ic56> Dimensions: how were your disks connected before you connect them with USB?  Do these disks have both IDE *and* USB interfaces?!
[04:26] <Flannel> Dimensions: get the alternate CD, then take that to each machine, and install.  You want to allow hardware detection to detect the machines.  Its a lot easier.
[04:26] <Dimensions> ic56:  they are part of smart pcs small sized physically like five by five inch and 1.6 GHz... just normal pcs u can say
[04:26] <stormchas3r> How can I get on my wireless with WPA encrytion, in Ubuntu?
[04:27] <Dimensions> Flannel:  alternate CD ?

[04:27] <Khaaaaan> Anybody want to sell me a wireless card that actually works with Linux??

[04:27] <bikini> whats the command to see a list of processes?
[04:27] <javiolo> !alternate
[04:27] <ubotu> The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-installation CD, with no live session. Use this if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an expert install.
[04:27] <Khaaaaan> I have enough of this whole ndis buinsess...
[04:27] <n3rdism> stormchas3r: iwconfig
[04:28] <javiolo> !tell dimensions about alternate
[04:28] <stormchas3r> n3rdism: in terminal?
[04:28] <n3rdism> yar
[04:28] <Flannel> Dimensions: a different iso, instead of the "desktop" one, alternate.  It boots straight to the installer, and gives you a lot more flexibility.  If youre installing on a bunch of machines, it's the way to go (no waiting for liveCD to boot, etc)
[04:28] <stormchas3r> n3rdism: kk, ty

[04:28] <dadgumit> totem looks meh?
[04:28] <Dimensions> is it available online on ubuntu site ?
[04:28] <dmb_> hmm

[05:12] <n3rdism> harry: me too ^^
[05:12] <trev__> ok, i just got it
[05:13] <harry> n3rdism: are you also trying to install flash mx???
[05:13] <king> Bimberi: I think they are. I just tweaked the settings
[05:13] <n3rdism> harry: nopers cant say that i am
[05:13] <n3rdism> harry: but i have the wacom devices in my xorg.conf like you and im running ubuntu 6.06 like you
[05:13] <harry> n3rdsim: do you know the wacom input devices??
[05:13] <oknewbie> I know this is not the right place so does anyone know of a web dev channel
[05:14] <harry> n3rdism: can you name them???
[05:14] <n3rdism> harry: one sec lemme pull it up
[05:14] <slew> skavenge, no luck. i moved the cursor dir to ~/.icons but gcursor still dosent see new cursor =[
[05:14] <bimberi> king: hm, it should offer the upgrade in the update-manager then :|
[05:14] <skavenge> slew: dunno then thats always worked for me
[05:15] <king> Bimberi: Yeah it should but it's not showing. Hmmm maybe I'll just give it a day or two
[05:15] <slew> skavenge, yah, its worked that way for me before.. i dunno why it hates me all of a sudden.
[05:15] <skavenge> slew: may be that particular cursor is in a different format or something
[05:16] <slew> skavenge, possibly, but ive tried with 4 different ones
[05:16] <harry> n3rdism: ok
[05:16] <HackMaster> i have a small problem with installing ubuntu on an old computer that refuses to boot from CD, has no ethernet card (uses USB ethernet device) and a 10GB hard drive. any takers?
[05:16] <roostishaw> anyone, what am i doing wrong? im trying to install vmware server, but whenever its done installing and i do 'vmware', i get http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18401 i even did the reconfigure thing...
[05:16] <n3rdism> harry: what do you want to know?
[05:17] <harry> n3rdism: on wine hq they said to uncomment the unneeded wacom devices to avoid x server error. have you seen the link i gave you?
[05:17] <HackMaster> i should clarify. I want to install on the basically useless computer.
[05:18] <n3rdism> harry: i just looked at it
[05:18] <n3rdism> harry: so yah, you should first make a backup of the file tho
[05:19] <n3rdism> harry: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf then ^O and save as xorg.conf.backup
[05:19] <n3rdism> harry: then remove the wacom device sections and save
[05:19] <lmosher> Where can I find the ia32-libs-dev package?
[05:19] <n3rdism> save it as xorg.conf keeping your xorg.conf.backup as is
[05:19] <HackMaster> @roostishaw: here is a good how-to to install vmware
[05:19] <HackMaster> http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_vmware_server
[05:20] <harry> n3rdism: how will i know if its the unneeded wacom input devices??
[05:20] <n3rdism> harry: you use a wacom device or tablet pc?
[05:20] <PokerFacePenguin> anybody know the fix for disappearing desktop icons after an upgrade to dapper?
[05:21] <lavi> hi all :)
[05:21] <prophet> what is the equvelant of a ".exe" in windows but in linux?
[05:21] <harry> n3rdism: i still dont get it??
[05:21] <hawkaloogie> prophet, a file that has executable permission
[05:21] <lavi> which command can equal to pause which under the windows shell command
[05:21] <n3rdism> harry: do you use a wacom device. you know the tablet thing with a pen. or are you on a table laptop pc
[05:21] <HackMaster> prophet, there is no such extention really
[05:21] <HackMaster> yea, what hawakoogie said
[05:21] <snarfer> prophet: maybe .py .pl or .sh ?
[05:22] <prophet> where are the icons located that u can double click
[05:22] <harry> n3rdism: i just use a desktop PC. i dont know a wacom device
[05:22] <hawkaloogie> snarfer, don't confuse him. some executable files have no "extention"
[05:22] <prophet> other then in applications
[05:22] <PokerFacePenguin> prophet: it is all about executable permissions ....
[05:22] <snarfer> true, hawkaloogie
[05:22] <n3rdism> harry: then you should be ok
[05:22] <hawkaloogie> prophet, /usr/bin
[05:22] <dasGewitter> When streaming music from the browser, gXine is used. How does one change it to, perhaps Totem, for example?
[05:22] <n3rdism> harry: but if anything appears strange to you and you start seeing errors and glitches you might wanna think about reinstating that xorg.conf.backup
[05:23] <prophet> i like this but i need to get use to where everything is
[05:23] <HackMaster> does anyone know how to install ubuntu on a computer that has a USB network device and no bootable CD-ROM drive?
[05:23] <PokerFacePenguin> prophet: a good thing to read up on is chmod http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod
[05:23] <prophet> thanks
[05:23] <prophet> i have read alot of guides but its still confusing
[05:23] <prophet> the hirearchy one
[05:24] <harry> n3rdism: i still dont get though. when i opened sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf  i dont see any input devices needed to install
[05:24] <PokerFacePenguin> permissions are simple once you get the hang
[05:24] <harry> n3rdism: i still dont get though. when i opened sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf  i dont see any input devices needed to uncomment..
[05:24] <n3rdism> harry, they just mean that you delete the lines that explains device use for wacom
[05:24] <HackMaster> permissions are so much easier on linux than windows
[05:24] <roostishaw> anyone, what am i doing wrong? im trying to install vmware server, but whenever its done installing and i do 'vmware', i get http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18401 i even did the reconfigure thing...
[05:24] <HackMaster> you will get used to it
[05:24] <n3rdism> harry: if they arent there then dont worry about it :)
[05:24] <prophet> Flashplayer is still buggy though
[05:24] <hawkaloogie> windows doesn't even really HAVE permissions...
[05:25] <dasGewitter> yeah it does
[05:25] <HackMaster> @roostishaw, did you read the how-to i posted?
[05:25] <hawkaloogie> prophet, because there's no flash player 8 for linux, but they say flash player 9 will be made for linux
[05:25] <harry> n3rdism: can u help me please. i dont know. i thought i have to remove something like this ###
[05:25] <HackMaster> http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_vmware_server
[05:25] <boingolov> windows has permissions, just most times they aren't used.  typically everything has to run with administtrator privs
[05:25] <dasGewitter> Have they released Java 5 yet?
[05:25] <harry> n3rdsim: can u name a wacom devices???
[05:25] <dasGewitter> (for linux)
[05:25] <roostishaw> HackMaster, yes. its identicle to the one from the ubuntu forums that i followed. did you read my pastebin error?
[05:25] <n3rdism> harry: anything with # before it is a comment
[05:25] <HackMaster> yep
[05:25] <n3rdism> it says wacom o.o;;
[05:25] <roostishaw> hmm...
[05:25] <PokerFacePenguin> prophet: one more link for you http://www.perlfect.com/articles/chmod.shtml
[05:26] <prophet> i do support for adobe and its funny how pll call up wanting help with flash but we dont support it ahhaha
[05:26] <harry> n3rdism: so what wine is trying to tell me is to delete those lines???
[05:26] <roostishaw> HackMaster, and you have no idea whats wrong? :(
[05:26] <prophet> why do i need to learn about the permissions
[05:26] <HackMaster> @roostishaw: i just did what was said
[05:26] <HackMaster> @roostishaw: ran the config
[05:26] <RichG> I'm deciding on a size for my boot partition. what's the average combined size of an Ubuntu (Desktop) kernel and initrd? :)
[05:26] <roostishaw> HackMaster, what command did u use to run the config?
[05:26] <HackMaster> @roostishaw: it ran at install, but i had to run it again
[05:26] <PokerFacePenguin> prophet: that is what makes a file executable....not its .extension
[05:26] <n3rdism> harry: the device for wacom
[05:27] <prophet> i see
[05:27] <XiXaQ> Is there a GUI application for mounting cd images?
[05:27] <HackMaster> @roostishaw: sudo /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl
[05:27] <harry> n3rdism: yep.. and can you please tell me how to update my wine???
[05:27] <n3rdism> harry: i suggest adding a # at the begining of the lines for all the wacom device properties
[05:27] <roostishaw> HackMaster, why did you have to run it again?
[05:27] <HackMaster> @roostishaw: no idea
[05:27] <Linux-Mania> hello , My problem I have gnoppix 1.0 ubuntu based - I can't install to HDD no installer package I am at linux
[05:27] <n3rdism> harry: that way its still technically there incase you flub up
[05:27] <prophet> this os is too hard for regular people to learn
[05:28] <roostishaw> HackMaster, i mean, what gave you the idea to run it again?
[05:28] <HackMaster> @roostishaw: dont remember exactly, i just remembered vmware was there, ran 'vmware' and it said to config
[05:28] <n3rdism> prophet: lol
[05:28] <harry> n3rdism: are they named as wacom???
[05:28] <yahn> does anyone know how to get mysqld.sock?  I need it to connect to my mysql server but its not on my computer.
[05:28] <roostishaw> HackMaster, yea, thats what its saying to me
[05:28] <prophet> im a pretty advanced user and its still like wtf
[05:28] <n3rdism> harry: relax man :o
[05:28] <XiXaQ> prophet, really? Anything in particular?
[05:28] <HackMaster> @roostishaw: the exact same error you got
[05:28] <prophet> no normal person will want to hang out in a chat room to figure out simplest stuff
[05:29] <roostishaw> HackMaster, ok, thanks!
[05:29] <prophet> i guess im trying to compare it to windows./..
[05:29] <XiXaQ> prophet, what is it you're trying to figure out?
[05:29] <prophet> nothing right now
[05:29] <Linux-Mania> !!! SOMEBODY PLS LISTEN !!! , My problem I have gnoppix 1.0 ubuntu based - I can't install to HDD no installer package I am at linux
[05:29] <ubotu> I know nothing about !! SOMEBODY PLS LISTEN !!! , My problem I have gnoppix 1.0 ubuntu based - I can't install to HDD no installer package I am at linux - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[05:29] <prophet> im doing ok now
[05:29] <HackMaster> Does anyone know an alternet way to install ubuntu on a computer that has no CD drive and a USB network device?
[05:29] <n3rdism> lmao owned
[05:29] <XiXaQ> prophet, an example then?
[05:30] <XiXaQ> Linux-Mania, gnoppix is not ubuntu.
[05:30] <prophet> where would i find the program folder like in "Program Fikes"?
[05:30] <prophet> files
[05:30] <PokerFacePenguin> HackMaster: why not get the install cd burned onto a usbkey?
[05:30] <XiXaQ> prophet, /usr/bin
[05:30] <prophet> ok let me look
[05:30] <Linux-Mania> XiXaQ see www.gnoppix.org
[05:31] <RichG> prophet, I just *glanced* at the user documentation for the first time ever, and it has a clear explanation of the UNIX/Linux file system scheme
[05:31] <carthik> prophet, /usr/share/ /etc etc may have files too related to programs - let us know what you really want to do
[05:31] <prophet> everything is short name how do i know what is what
[05:31] <HackMaster> @pokerfacepenguin: i have not tried that, but i doubt it will boot from the drive
[05:31] <carthik> prophet, what do you want/need?
[05:31] <HackMaster> @pokerfacepenguin: i have a 1GB drive, would that work?
[05:32] <prophet> nothing specific im just trying to figure out how all this works
[05:32] <XiXaQ> Linux-Mania, oh.. sorry. :) It seems my knowledge is abit out of date.
[05:32] <PokerFacePenguin> HackMaster: you can mount any .iso image
[05:32] <harry> n3rdism: actually ive installed the flash. the problem is i couldnt run it. after running "wine Flash.exe" no gui shows up. all i see in the terminal screen are sync:fixme etc..........
[05:32] <LoneWolf071> !hi
[05:32] <RichG> prophet, unless you want to use textual applications, you shouldn't need to browse through bin folders. that's what the GNOME menu/K menu is for :S
[05:32] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[05:32] <HackMaster> @pokerfacepenguin: what?
[05:32] <LoneWolf071> !route
[05:32] <ubotu> I know nothing about route - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[05:32] <prophet> i just hate not knowing how it works
[05:32] <n3rdism> harry: one sec om getting you a screenshot
[05:32] <LoneWolf071> how do i remove an entry from route?
[05:33] <|rt|> prophet: but you run windows?
[05:33] <n3rdism> harry: pm me your email address
[05:33] <harry> n3rdism: harryinoferio@gmail.com
[05:33] <Crescendo> I need to recover some data several write levels deep from an NTFS formatted drive...  what is the best software on Ubuntu to do this with?
[05:33] <prophet> i dont feel that lost
[05:33] <n3rdism> that works
[05:33] <pawan_> hi
[05:33] <pawan_> anybody in translation
[05:33] <carthik> prophet, /usr/bin/ contains all the user binaries - think user program .exe files. Now windows has a registry for settings/config etc, we have /etc/ for configuration files. /usr/lib has the libraries for the binaries to work (you will never need to edit/change there, and /usr/share/ has data/templates/ etc used by files, including fonts, icons etc
[05:34] <ic56> LoneWolf071: route del <target address>
[05:34] <prophet> i see
[05:34] <XiXaQ> prophet, UNIX is different from MS-DOS and Windows. If you want to understand the file structure, which is much simpler in Linux than it is in Windows, read about FHS. (Filesystem Hierarchy Standard)
[05:34] <HackMaster> @pokerfacepenguin: i was able to floppy over the net install disk (5 floppys) and i see the install screen, but it wont detect the network card
[05:34] <ic56> LoneWolf071: sudo route del <target address>
[05:34] <prophet> i did i have the page book marked :)
[05:34] <RichG> prophet, there are lots of good introductions to UNIX/Linux on the web. if you just try and dive into Linux when you've only previously used Windows, you probably won't discover much yourself. it's actually all quite simple. :)
[05:34] <carthik> prophet, for any program you install, say xchat, $dpkg -L xchat is the command that will list all the files installed by/for the program - including directories.
[05:35] <carthik> prophet, yup- on your first day with windows you prolly didn't know it all - now you know what you need to - likewise, start using Linux and you'll "soak it in".
[05:35] <prophet> ya looks very streight forward
[05:35] <bimberi> Crescendo: there might be something in the ntfsprogs package (guessing)
[05:35] <PokerFacePenguin> HackMaster: read this link, it might be useful for you http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-192658.html
[05:35] <prophet> true carthik
[05:36] <prophet> that day was like in 98 it was a long time ago i forgot
[05:36] <prophet> i was like in 8th grade
[05:36] <Crescendo> sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs ?
[05:36] <carthik> prophet, i know much more about how things work in Linux though I have been using it only for 1+ year as opposed to windows - the environment in windows is "dont touch ANYTHING - it might break" as opposed to Linux where you can break stuff and fix it later with help.
[05:37] <prophet> i watched this linux doc on google video it seems more open to whats going on in the background
[05:37] <Crescendo> bimberi, I'll look through the package.
[05:37] <RichG> prophet, in a nutshell: the system (kernel) starts, and executes a shell, usually a shell called bash. what's a shell? well it's the most basic level of interaction between the kernel and the user. the main shell for Windows is Explorer, which consists of a task bar, desktop and file browser. though, unlike Explorer, bash is a textual application
[05:37] <KaiHanari> whats a good command line app to capture an image from a video device once every "x" seconds and save it to a file, same filename every time?
[05:37] <prophet> they made windows sound like its hiding all this stuff and it seem slike it is
[05:37] <yahn> when I installed debian from knoppix it didn't install mysql correctly.  when I try mysql -u root -p and set the password it tells me that mysqld.sock is missing.  does anyone know how to fix this?  sorry to bother you guys.
[05:37] <XiXaQ> prophet, you might enjoy /proc
[05:37] <Crescendo> What would be the best solution to ripping a DVD to an AVI?
[05:37] <prophet> whats that
[05:38] <prophet> ive seen it
[05:38] <|rt|> hehe we've been working with Nvidia closely at work and they told our engineers that it's much easier to debug their drivers under linux than under windows
[05:38] <Crescendo> Lol.
[05:38] <XiXaQ> prophet, what's going on in the background :)
[05:38] <mjr> Crescendo, dvdrip
[05:38] <prophet> ah
[05:38] <PokerFacePenguin> HackMaster: this looks like the best instructions to get it on the usbkey...i assume you can put it on your computer hd from there http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1062799&postcount=100
[05:38] <prophet> well i havnt been in windows in like a week or something
[05:38] <harry> n3rdism: are still there???
[05:38] <prophet> so thats a good sign i guess
[05:38] <mjr> Crescendo, from multiverse
[05:38] <n3rdism> harry: about to send it man
[05:39] <prophet> the only thing i dont know howto get to work there is WMVs
[05:39] <KaiHanari> whats a good command line app to capture an image from a video device once every "x" seconds and save it to a file, same filename every time?
[05:39] <prophet> i tryed reading the docs but they confused me
[05:39] <HackMaster> @pokerfacepenguin: is it possible to connect the hard drive to my computer and copy over the OS?
[05:39] <XiXaQ> prophet, not all wmv's are usable.
[05:39] <prophet> :(
[05:39] <n3rdism> harry: ok sent.
[05:39] <dasGewitter> gvidcap
[05:39] <prophet> there is a legality?"
[05:39] <prophet> i read something like ta
[05:39] <prophet> t
[05:39] <RichG> prophet, anyway, the shell has bank of variables, each with a textual value. one important variable is PATH, the value of which is a list of paths (like /bin, /usr/bin) ***which are searched when you type in something like "firefox"***. bash looks for a file named "firefox" inside the directories in this list, and when it finds a match, it executes the file
[05:39] <prophet> that
[05:39] <HackMaster> @pokerfacepenguin: prehaps DD the iso to a partition and then boot from it?
[05:39] <carthik> prophet setup mplayer with the w32codecs and codecs-essential packages.
[05:40] <dasGewitter> kaihanari: gvidcap
[05:40] <XiXaQ> promet, yes. Digital Content Blagblah
[05:40] <prophet> i have the codec pages
[05:40] <prophet> packages
[05:40] <PokerFacePenguin> HackMaster: not the optimum solution to copy...it wont "just work" that way
[05:40] <prophet> do you have the site for mplayer
[05:40] <XiXaQ> prophet, "the site"?
[05:40] <pyd> can't get online with my laptop (Dapper).  I'm not sure what else I can do to troubleshoot.  I'm running a liveCD on a desktop machine now.  Internet connection is ok.  sending/recieving packets,  but not online.
[05:40] <prophet> also installing software is kinda confusing for some reason
[05:40] <prophet> for mplayer
[05:40] <prophet> the site
[05:40] <harry> n3rdism: so what i needed to do is to remove those #
[05:41] <HackMaster> @pokerfacepenguin: not dd the install iso to the partition?
[05:41] <prophet> where i can obtain mplayer
[05:41] <HackMaster> ok
[05:41] <n3rdism> harry: remove EVERYTHING shaded in green
[05:41] <PokerFacePenguin> HackMaster: the live/installer cd is a compressed filesystem that is "loop mounted"
[05:41] <dasGewitter> prophet: http://www2.mplayerhq.hu/design7/news.html
[05:41] <n3rdism> harry: and make sure you back it up!!!
[05:41] <prophet> also thanks for not bitching me out because of my questions
[05:41] <lighthouse> pyd: try deactivating the connection and activating it again, ive had the same problems and that works for me
[05:41] <XiXaQ> prophet, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MPlayer?highlight=%28mplayer%29 ?
[05:41] <KaiHanari> dasGewitter, E: Couldn't find package gvidcap
[05:41] <HackMaster> @pokerfacepenguin: yea, that does not mean much to me
[05:41] <Sola6662> i need to know something i been trying to upgrade my firefox for a while now and i downloaded the firefox-1.5.0.4.tar.gz from the firefox site how can i use this tar.gz file to upgrade firefox?
[05:41] <carthik> prophet, you'll have to enable some repositories etc... there must a howto on the forums or someplace
[05:41] <pyd> lighthouse: I'll try that...
[05:41] <PokerFacePenguin> HackMaster: use the last link i gave ya...it will help loads
[05:41] <HackMaster> ok

[05:42] <prophet> E: Package mplayer has no installation candidate
[05:42] <prophet>  ?
[05:42] <HackMaster> @pokerfacepenguin: got it
[05:42] <prophet> i ran that command
[05:42] <prophet> and i got that
[05:42] <harry> n3rdism: i think i dont see those wacom devices on my /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:42] <HackMaster> @pokerfacepenguin: oh, and will ubuntu support USB ethernet devices?
[05:42] <prophet> what the hell is a installation candidate
[05:42] <n3rdism> harry: then im afraid taht isnt the issue
[05:43] <RichG> prophet, you don't see this happening because Ubuntu automatically tells bash to start GNOME, which hides the terminals where textual applications get input and put output. however, the process is essentially the same for when you launch an application in a graphical desktop environment.
[05:43] <XiXaQ> prophet, have you enabled all the repositories?

[05:43] <n3rdism> harry: email it to me
[05:43] <harry> XiXaQ: sorry
[05:44] <n3rdism> lol
[05:44] <Sola6662> i need to know something i been trying to upgrade my firefox for a while now and i downloaded the firefox-1.5.0.4.tar.gz from the firefox site how can i use this tar.gz file to upgrade firefox?
[05:44] <XiXaQ> harry, never paste that much into an IRC channel. Use http://www.rafb.net/paste and give us the url you receive.
[05:44] <Madpilot> harry, pastebin next time!
[05:44] <Madpilot> !paste
[05:44] <asdx> someone on athlon 64 using ubuntu 64 with xgl/compiz?
[05:44] <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)
[05:44] <pyd> prophet: System --> Administration --> Synaptic Package Manager.
[05:44] <PokerFacePenguin> HackMaster: make sure your bios lets you boot from a usbkey before you get too far into putting that on your key
[05:44] <n3rdism> that too :D
[05:44] <pyd> prophet: then Settings --> Repositories
[05:44] <prophet> k
[05:44] <Sola6662> the file is located /home/sola6662/Desktop/firefox-1.5.0.4.tar.gz:
[05:44] <lab2std_> hi
[05:44] <HackMaster> @pokerfacepenguin: lol. i dont think it will, but i think i am gonna try sdm
[05:45] <prophet> enable all of them
[05:45] <harry> n3rdism: its emailed
[05:45] <lab2std_> 
[05:45] <pyd> hi
[05:45] <Asterisk_Newbie> hi all from Portugal
[05:45] <XiXaQ> prophet, yes.
[05:45] <RichG> Sola6662, you should only install software using a package manager such as Synaptic Package Manager. the .tar.gz files are intended for people who use a bare-bones distribution of Linux
[05:45] <deville75> hello?
[05:45] <deville75> i need help with Dual Booting
[05:46] <pyd> prophet: whatever ones you want to enable.  Usually Universe... optionally Multiverse.
[05:46] <pyd> hello
[05:46] <deville75> i've already installed both Linux and Windows
[05:46] <XiXaQ> deville75, ask your question and maybe someone can help you.
[05:46] <prophet> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[05:46] <prophet> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[05:46] <prophet> humm
[05:46] <prophet> i have no idea what tha tmeans
[05:46] <deville75> but I was wondering if it is possible to boot both Linux and Windows together, and run them side by side
[05:46] <bimberi> prophet: close Synaptic
[05:46] <Sola6662> RichG i know but it somehow wont let me upgrade from synaptic
[05:46] <pyd> prophet: did you close other Synaptic Windows?  Is any other apt package running?
[05:46] <prophet> no
[05:46] <lab2std_> hi
[05:46] <prophet> let me try
[05:46] <carthik> prophet, it says in the message: is another process using it?
[05:47] <RichG> Sola6662, what happens when you try? :)
[05:47] <pyd> prophet: close your terminals... close your synaptic windows... try again
[05:47] <prophet> ok i closed the manager
[05:47] <prophet> and it says the same candidate thign again
[05:47] <bimberi> deville75: not at the same time, no
[05:47] <pyd> prophet: did you enable the repositories?
[05:47] <Sola6662> RichG well the last try i tried it didit upgrade to version -1.5.0
[05:47] <prophet> yuo
[05:47] <prophet> what was the get command
[05:47] <prophet> apt-get mplayer?
[05:47] <pyd> apt-get install [something] 
[05:48] <n3rdism> harry: yah you're good on the not having wacom b.s. in your xorg.conf
[05:48] <n3rdism> harry: it must be something else then
[05:48] <pyd> prophet: sorry:  sudo apt-get install [whatever] 
[05:48] <deville75> bimberi: ok.. but is ther some way to use two different Linux Sessions? I remember accidentally pressing the F1, F2, etc.. buttons before and it switched to another "Linux Session"..
[05:48] <prophet> yeah it did the candidate thing again enabled everyting restarted the terminal
[05:48] <prophet> yeah i know the sudo think now :)
[05:48] <prophet> super user
[05:48] <lighthouse> deville75: if you want to run both at the same time, use vmware, you can virtually boot windows inside of linux
[05:48] <prophet> the blank PW had me stumped for a day
[05:48] <n3rdism> !sudo
[05:48] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[05:48] <RichG> Sola6662, it might be because Synaptic isn't aware that version 1.5 is available. have you updated Synaptic's database of packages?
[05:48] <pyd> I think it means "substitute user"... but that's what it's used for..
[05:49] <Sola6662> RichG yep
[05:49] <prophet> i dont think so how do i update its database
[05:49] <bimberi> deville75: if you choose the "Switch User" option from the logout dialog that will let you log in a second time.
[05:49] <harry> n3rdism: i have installed flash
[05:49] <Sola6662> RichG or i think
[05:49] <Madpilot> pyd, 'sudo' apparently stands for 'Super User DO' - trivia for the day :)
[05:49] <n3rdism> harry: im aware
[05:49] <Sola6662> RichG how i do that?
[05:49] <harry> n3rdism: the first problem was that i dont have the msvcirt.dll
[05:49] <pyd> prophet: back to synaptic and "refresh" button
[05:49] <deville75> Login a second time? with the same user?
[05:49] <bimberi> deville75: and to switch between the two X logins will be ctrl-alt-f7 and ctrl-alt-f8
[05:49] <prophet> k
[05:50] <harry> n3rdism: i copied msvcirt.dll from windows and paste it in the folder of the flash.
[05:50] <bimberi> deville75: as a different user if you like
[05:50] <swim> hey folks can a gnome-panel be set to be over other windows?
[05:50] <deville75> or as the same user?
[05:50] <harry> n3rdism: a new message on the terminal comes up
[05:50] <RichG> Sola6662, haha, actually I've only used Ubuntu once for a few minutes. I use Gentoo Linux mainly. I'm sure someone else here could tell you how to do it
[05:50] <RichG> could someone explain t o Sola6662 how to make Synaptic aware of new versions of packages?
[05:51] <prophet> is there a keyboard shortcut to open terminal or do i have to set it
[05:51] <bimberi> deville75: yes you can.  I did try that once and there were some messages of protest about logging in twice but it seemed to work OK.
[05:51] <harry> n3rdism: i cant remember the exact message cause right now im on a cafe.  the message is something like "fixme,  sync
[05:51] <deville75> kool...
[05:51] <harry> and 000888098091x909809
[05:51] <harry> and 000888098091x909809 n3rdism
[05:51] <RichG> prophet, there isn't one set by default. check the Keyboard Shortcuts preferences
[05:52] <Sola6662> RicjG my other PC had Gentoo didit have no probs with it but this distro gives me probs out the ass
[05:52] <prophet> yeah thats what i though
[05:52] <deville75> thx..and one more question.. does anyone know about a Guide to get VMware to work.. I want it to emulate WIndows XP
[05:52] <n3rdism> harry: im not quite sure what you would do man; im sorry :( i dont have enough experience with wine and flash mx
[05:52] <Madpilot> !vmware
[05:52] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository. Instructions to install VMWare Server can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingVMWare
[05:52] <HackMaster> how do i unmount a usb drive, /dev/sdg?
[05:52] <Sola6662> RickG my other PC had Gentoo didit have no probs with it but this distro gives me probs out the ass
[05:52] <Sola6662> damn typos
[05:52] <n3rdism> harry: good luck to you tho
[05:52] <harry> n3rdism: and by the way i installed flash on the z:\
[05:52] <prophet> i searched synaptic there is like 40 mplayers how do i know what one i choose/
[05:52] <harry> n3rdism: ok thanks
[05:52] <RichG> Sola6662, have you read the documentation? ;)
[05:53] <n3rdism> harry: look around on google and see what you pull up
[05:53] <pyd> prophet: you can choose the generic one, or go back to terminal and : sudo apt-get install mplayer
[05:53] <Sola6662> RichG yep
[05:53] <RichG> I'm deciding on a size for my boot partition. what's the average combined size of an Ubuntu (Desktop) kernel and initrd? :)
[05:54] <harry> n3rdism: guess i'll just have to use vmware and install windows there. and just run Flashmx
[05:54] <prophet> the descriptions are all differnt and the aptget gives me some lock thing
[05:54] <n3rdism> harry: sounds it :(
[05:54] <RichG> prophet, most of them are probably plug-ins
[05:54] <prophet> gives me the installation candidate again ow ell ill try from synaptic
[05:55] <deville75> kool thx for the Link for VMWare help
[05:55] <lmosher> I'm new to apt-get. How do I deal with this: libfreetype6-dev: Depends: libfreetype6 (= 2.1.10-1ubuntu2) but 2.1.10-1ubuntu2.1 is to be installed
[05:55] <pyd> prophet: I'll check what mine says
[05:55] <deville75> thanks Bimberi
[05:55] <prophet> there is xmms m player
[05:55] <prophet> k6
[05:55] <prophet> k7
[05:55] <prophet> :/
[05:55] <Sola6662> i cant install gentoo on this PC this sucks
[05:55] <prophet> mozilla m player
[05:55] <prophet> there is alot
[05:55] <Binome> wow, that was hell. I tried to upgrade from warty up to dapper through command line apt
[05:56] <prophet> 368 is ultiamte movie player for linux
[05:56] <pyd> prophet: I would choose "mplayer".  and "mozilla-mplayer" if you want the plugin for mozilla.
[05:56] <prophet> i guess thats it
[05:56] <n3rdism> gentoo is very anticlimatic lol
[05:56] <swim> hey folks can a gnome-panel be set to be over other windows?
[05:56] <Madpilot> Binome, that's a long jump - how did it go?
[05:56] <pyd> prophet: choose both.  If you don't like to mozilla plugin, you can remove it later.
[05:56] <Sola6662> n3rdism lol
[05:56] <Binome> I said screw it half way through, after have a completly broken package list
[05:56] <prophet> could not mark all packages for installation something about dependacies
[05:56] <pyd> prophet: or just choose "mozilla-mplayer" and it will install everything because it requires "mplayer"
[05:56] <n3rdism> sola6662, not saying thats bad or anything tho ^^
[05:57] <Sola6662> i know
[05:57] <Sola6662> shit if i mad the money i would have 4 PCs with there own OSes
[05:57] <n3rdism> gentoo is awesome, im thinking of starting one up in my 80gig thats just laying around. i find it more of a hobbyists distro
[05:57] <Binome> Sola, I have vmware for that
[05:58] <prophet> there is dependancies missing not sure what that means
[05:58] <prophet> or why im missing htem
[05:58] <pyd> prophet: paste the message if you can: pastebin.com or somewhere.

[06:44] <z0rz> http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710
[06:44] <Krhis> NTFS is very complex and very undocumented.
[06:44] <z0rz> \http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=23836054&forum_id=2697
[06:44] <grodius> lecaros how do I attempt it?
[06:44] <nrdb> grodius: maybe you can make a fat32 parition and then both windows and Linux can read/write
[06:44] <Sola6662> but what worries me will Xfce coop with my Login screens i dled from Gnome-look and stuff
[06:44] <z0rz> or just read those links I gave u
[06:44] <lecaros> grodius mount your ntfs partition with write mode on, i guess
[06:45] <Cntryboy> anyone know where to get java at? I forgot where lol. I'm using kubuntu dapper 6.06 if that matters but I doubt it.
[06:45] <lecaros> grodius but you can corrupt your filesystem
[06:45] <Shadowline> Sola6662, XFCE uses GDM for the login
[06:45] <FunnyLookinHat> !java
[06:45] <lecaros> @java
[06:45] <lecaros> !java
[06:45] <FunnyLookinHat> Cntryboy, you should be able to do sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre
[06:45] <Sola6662> sweet thx shadowline

[06:46] <Cntryboy> and yes its working thx
[06:46] <lecaros> since a few weeks ago
[06:46] <Shadowline> Sola6662, you realize you can have kde, gnome and xfce installed at the same time

[06:47] <CyDrive> can someone help me with my broadcom bcm43xx wireless card?
[06:47] <Sola6662> i found that out when i was reading the install info for Xfce
[06:47] <Papageno> I'm not sure where else to ask, so if you can't answer this then please direct me to a channel/server where I could get an answer. How does an ATI Mobility FireGL V5200 compare with other, standard ATI mobility cards like the Mobility x1600 and Mobility x1800?

[06:49] <z0rz> or is it irc.efnet.pl ... idk

[07:06] <humanpersonman> sudo apt-get install build-essential
[07:06] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, hmm...  well you are using dapper release (6.06) and none of these binaries are for dapper, so i cannot guaruntee that they work
[07:07] <dli> lewbing, okay, why are you making so many partitions?
[07:07] <helpmeee> anything is worth a try
[07:07] <lewbing> dli,i can't running ubuntu6.06 now,hehe,i think is so good.
[07:08] <prophet> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[07:08] <prophet>   build-essential: Depends: libc6-dev but it is not going to be installed or                            libc-dev

[07:08] <dli> lewbing, okay, booting problem? can you mount the partitions, and chroot to it
[07:08] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, go ahead and download quake3-1.33-r468-i686.tar.gz  from /breezy/
[07:08] <lewbing> dli,how can do it?please tell me,
[07:08] <dli> lewbing, if you are sure about the installation, and the problem is no more than booting, you can follow the grub howto
[07:09] <ringzero_> hmm. so I can't run i386 binaries if I chose the amd64 install?
[07:09] <helpmeee> okay funnylookinhate
[07:09] <humanpersonman> ringzero_, ha no
[07:09] <dli> lewbing, first, I would think your disk is in a very bad shape, if it's not too late, I suggest you to re-install
[07:09] <ringzero_> humanpersonman:  ah, I think I get it. it's apt that's the limit?
[07:10] <prophet> what does it mean when there is missing dependancies
[07:10] <prophet> ?
[07:10] <badiNFO> what's that thing for ubuntu, that has widgets
[07:10] <dli> lewbing, you have so many partitions, quite not reasonable sizes, and reiserfs is known to be unstable
[07:10] <badiNFO> i forget what it's called
[07:10] <Madpilot> prophet, if you can't install build-essential, there's something wrong with your sources.list... can you pastebin that?
[07:10] <humanpersonman> badniNFO, gdesklets

[07:17] <prophet> there is no ##deb
[07:17] <Cyball> hello @all :-) does somebody know why the mysql-server5.0.22 Package which apt-get installs is without InnoDB and how to activate it ? :-)
[07:17] <Madpilot> easier than fixing your own at this point
[07:18] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat: oh I see
[07:18] <Jared> has anyone in here used an epson picturemate with dapper drake? i go to print, and it prints something in 1 of the corners and thats it
[07:18] <prophet> so ill try noiw?>
[07:18] <linux2> does anyone know how i can extract a file that is giving an end of file error?
[07:18] <humanpersonman> prophet, did you replace the entire text with that text he gave you?
[07:19] <prophet> yeah i saved it
[07:19] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat: well I got the files :) when your ready hehe.. thanks for helping btw
[07:19] <prophet> tryed the essential thing and didnt work :(
[07:19] <humanpersonman> do sudo apt-get update, then try again
[07:19] <prophet> Building dependency tree... Done
[07:19] <prophet> Package build-essential is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[07:19] <prophet> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[07:19] <prophet> is only available from another source
[07:19] <prophet> E: Package build-essential has no installation candidate
[07:19] <qwerty_> i am new to ubuntu and i need help in getting mp3, aac, and wma files to play
[07:19] <prophet> ok
[07:19] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, ok extract the files to your desktop (double click to open, click extract)
[07:19] <prophet> ok it worked now
[07:19] <prophet> thanks fellas
[07:20] <prophet> what did we just do?
[07:20] <Madpilot> qwerty_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[07:20] <qwerty_> will easyubuntu or automatix help at all
[07:20] <Madpilot> prophet, we fixed the places your computer was looking when it was trying to install stuff
[07:20] <Madpilot> qwerty_, automatix might help in breaking your box - avoid that. easyubuntu does codecs, I think.
[07:21] <qwerty_> ok
[07:21] <prophet> so i can probably instlal mplayer now
[07:21] <prophet> why were they broken
[07:21] <humanpersonman> easyubuntu broke my system
[07:21] <qwerty_> i mostly just want to be able to play audio and video files
[07:21] <prophet> i hope i understand this eventally
[07:21] <Crescendo> When using KTorrent, I'm getting a "Too many files open" error...
[07:21] <Crescendo> Is there a KTorrent specific channel?
[07:21] <Madpilot> qwerty_, have a look at the URL I just gave you.
[07:21] <humanpersonman> not really, but when i used the install of codecs from easy ubuntu and i tried to watch videos, they were really choppy as opposed to when automatix did it, completely flawless
[07:21] <humanpersonman> crescendo, what is the problem
[07:21] <Cyball>  hello @all :-) does somebody know why the mysql-server5.0.22 Package which apt-get installs is without InnoDB and how to activate it ? :-)
[07:22] <humanpersonman> crescendo, you might try #kubuntu
[07:22] <Crescendo> I'm not on Kubuntu, though.
[07:22] <Crescendo> KTorrent appears to run fine under GNOME.
[07:22] <helpmeee> funnylookenhat I did it.. the tab isnt working for me rite now
[07:22] <Sola6662> any1 knows how to do screenshots of the desktop in Xfce?
[07:23] <Crescendo> And... I apologize. I'm... slightly inebriated.
[07:23] <Crescendo> So... don't drink and code.
[07:23] <Crescendo> @_@
[07:23] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat: nm, I got the files on desktop rite now :)
[07:23] <humanpersonman> Sola6662, you might try #xubuntu
[07:23] <Madpilot> Crescendo, "don't drink & IRC" has been one of my mottos for a while now... :)
[07:23] <Crescendo> Lol, good call, Madpilot
[07:24] <lio1685> hi all
[07:24] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, ok, now look at the file names -  see ioquake3.i386 ?  we need to find where that is in your system and replace it
[07:24] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, so open up a console, and type the following:     sudo updatedb
[07:24] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, then type locate ioquake3.i386
[07:24] <Crescendo> So... can anyone help?
[07:24] <Crescendo> -= Clearly violates Madpilot's rules.
[07:24] <Crescendo> =-
[07:24] <humanpersonman> Crescendo, when does it give you that error
[07:25] <lio1685> anyone can tell how to upgrade manually the ubuntu old version to the new version?
[07:25] <Crescendo> After opening the torrent.
[07:25] <humanpersonman> liol685, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[07:25] <Crescendo> I
[07:25] <Madpilot> lio1685, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DapperUpgrades
[07:25] <Crescendo> 'm looking int he status window.
[07:25] <Crescendo> Erm, column.
[07:25] <Jared> has anyone ever used a picturemate in dapper? I got it working, but when i print, it only prints in the very corner of things
[07:25] <humanpersonman> liol685, after that make sure you change your sources.list so that everywhere it says breezy, it now says dapper
[07:25] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat: I get this /home/steph/Desktop/quake3/ioquake3.i386 rite where it should be :)
[07:26] <qwerty_> that url looks helpful but wouldnt easyubuntu or automatix be faster and easier
[07:26] <FunnyLookinHat> bimberi, that file didn't have anything about ports in it....  know of any others to try searching for?  I'm not at the comp, i'm helping a buddy via IM so I'm asking him to search for files, etc.
[07:26] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, no others huh...
[07:26] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, ok try locate quake3
[07:26] <PrairieDog> thanks all
[07:27] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat: I think those binaries are for an opened source quake3 someone was working on.. all I have is the regular quake3 and thats in my desktop rite now
[07:27] <humanpersonman> qwert_, getautomatix.com or http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/
[07:27] <Madpilot> qwerty_, that URL will actually teach you how install stuff, the scripts will just run and if they break something, you're SOL...
[07:28] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, hmmm....  I wasn't aware there were two different versions
[07:28] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, as far as I knew they both work because they open source is based off the ID code
[07:28] <qwerty_> can they actually destroy the whole system requiring me to reinstall ubuntu
[07:28] <BLuNT187> Does anyone here know how to properly mount a windows ntfs partition? I have attempted it using the guide and was unable to do so
[07:28] <FunnyLookinHat> qwerty_, automatix can, easyubuntu won't probably
[07:28] <humanpersonman> qwerty_, did you do a fresh install
[07:28] <humanpersonman> ?
[07:28] <qwerty_> yes
[07:29] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat:  yeah :) my quake is in here home/steph/Desktop/games/quake3/
[07:29] <qwerty_> the update thing popped up and i had it install the updates
[07:29] <humanpersonman> qwerty_, then there is a very low chance, I have fresh installed and then automatix probably 5-6 times and never had any problems
[07:29] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, ok try copying all of the files you downloaded into that directory
[07:29] <faki3> yo, room
[07:30] <BLuNT187> could anyone help me out please?
[07:30] <faki3> BLuNT187: with what
[07:30] <FunnyLookinHat> then go to the directory in a console and type ./ioquake.i386
[07:30] <bimberi> FunnyLookinHat: /etc/apache2/ports.conf
[07:30] <BLuNT187> faki3: im unagble to mount a ntfs windows partition
[07:30] <faki3> oh
[07:30] <faki3> what is the error that you get
[07:31] <BLuNT187> special device dev hda 1 does not exist
[07:31] <faki3> oh
[07:31] <BLuNT187> i first did sudo mkdir /media/windows
[07:31] <faki3> BLuNT187: you need to make sure that your mounting the correct partitino
[07:31] <faki3> partition
[07:31] <BLuNT187> how do i check my partition names
[07:31] <FunnyLookinHat> bimberi, swe33t thanks
[07:31] <BLuNT187> i did a fdisk -l but nothing shows up
[07:32] <faki3> hmm
[07:32] <BLuNT187> it just goes back ot the prompt
[07:32] <qwerty_> it looks like automatix can do more than easyubuntu
[07:32] <faki3> just a sec
[07:32] <BLuNT187> k
[07:33] <humanpersonman> could someone explain to me how exactly automatix destroys the system, I have heard that it does but it has never been explained to me how
[07:33] <MrPockets> can i apt-get a decent calculator?
[07:33] <carthik> qwerty_, yes, and screw things up a little worse too
[07:33] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat: I opened in to quake3 where mine is installed in terminal window and typed ./ioquake.i386 but it sais ./ioquake.i386: No such file or directory
[07:33] <dur> is there a normal installation of Ubuntu that is not a live cd?
[07:33] <BLuNT187> dur: the same cd.. i think
[07:33] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, right because we have to move the files there first
[07:33] <crimsun> dur: sure, the alternate installer.
[07:33] <faki3> BLuNT187: did you try this? http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_mount.2Funmount_Windows_partitions_.28NTFS.29_manually.2C_and_allow_all_users_to_read_only
[07:34] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, go to ~/Desktop in console
[07:34] <BLuNT187> yes thats exactly what i followed
[07:34] <BLuNT187> same guide
[07:34] <faki3> okay
[07:34] <colk> !grub
[07:34] <faki3> just a sec
[07:34] <dur> crimsun: from what I read it mention it was for older systems..
[07:34] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, actually
[07:34] <bimberi> FunnyLookinHat: np :)
[07:34] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat: I moved them by hand.. should I not have?
[07:34] <crimsun> dur: it's the safest installer for all systems.
[07:34] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, open up a file browser (Konquerer) and have a window for both and mvoe them by hand
[07:35] <mneptok> mornin' users :)
[07:35] <qwerty_> why would they release software that screws up peoples systems
[07:35] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, oooh so you did move them.
[07:35] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat:  yeah lol
[07:35] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, then in the quake3 directory type this
[07:35] <dur> crimsun:  ok thank you will give it a try.
[07:35] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, chmod 755 ioquake3.i386
[07:35] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, ./ioquake3.i386
[07:35] <carthik> humanpersonman, https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2006-March/071696.html to start - some things might have changed since
[07:36] <faki3> BLuNT187: can you make sure that your really mounting the correct drive?
[07:36] <Lynoure> BLuNT187: Was your error message typed wrong? Almost looks like it is complaining about device /dev/hda/1  when /dev/hda1 would be a more likely device
[07:36] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat: chmod 755 ./ioquake3.i386 you mean that? or are those two seperate ones
[07:36] <faki3> try this at the command prompt
[07:36] <faki3> sudo cfdisk /dev/hda
[07:36] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, two separate ones
[07:36] <faki3> it will tell you what hda is
[07:36] <Aesop> Hmm, how do I restart the udev daemon?
[07:36] <BLuNT187> it says opened disk read-[only you have no permission to right
[07:36] <faki3> yep
[07:36] <BLuNT187> lynoure: my error message was typed wrong, sorry
[07:37] <faki3> okay
[07:37] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat:  I get this when doing the second one ./ioquake3.i386: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[07:37] <BLuNT187> basicalyl all i need to do is get access to my sata NTFS drive
[07:37] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, oh gross.
[07:37] <BLuNT187> it sees it in the computer screen
[07:37] <BLuNT187> but i cant mount it
[07:37] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat:  lol
[07:37] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, locate libSDL-1.2.so
[07:38] <flack> Anyone: Anyone know a eix equivlent for ubuntu?
[07:38] <faki3> BLuNT187: okay good, is it the /dev/hda dive? or something else?
[07:38] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat:  it's not giving me anything
[07:38] <BLuNT187> faki3: what do u mean
[07:38] <BLuNT187> sorry im very new to linux
[07:38] <crimsun> helpmeee: dpkg -l libsdl1.2debian\*|grep ^ii
[07:38] <BLuNT187> i have two ntfs windows based partitions
[07:38] <Cyball> hi can somebody help me with dapper mysql-server5.0.22 innoDB activation ??
[07:38] <BLuNT187> i need to access both of them
[07:38] <faki3> oh
[07:39] <BLuNT187> basically mount both to transfer files from the sata drive to a ide drive
[07:39] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, ok one sec
[07:39] <qwerty_> i will try automatix on one system and easyubuntu on the other to see which one works the best
[07:39] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat: I did the dpkg one to and nothing
[07:39] <crimsun> helpmeee: sudo apt-get --reinstall install libsdl1.2debian
[07:40] <qwerty_> automatix is easier to install and has more options than easyubuntu
[07:40] <qwerty_> easyubuntu does have a better interface though
[07:40] <Justin_> qwerty_ dont use easyubuntu it breaks!
[07:40] <Justin_> it broke my ubuntu
[07:40] <Justin_> nothin works
[07:40] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat: thats done now.. should I locate it again?
[07:40] <qwerty_> i got multiple systems
[07:40] <prophet> what was the name of that prograM? amix or something?>
[07:40] <flack> Anyone: No one here has used gentoo and knows what eix is?
[07:40] <qwerty_> so i one breaks no big deal
[07:40] <shak_> are there any gtk supported linux irc clients that can open .mrc script files (mirc remote scripts)
[07:41] <shak_> im having to run wine to use em right now
[07:41] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, you installed a libsdl?
[07:41] <Lynoure> prophet: *wild guess* alsamixer ?
[07:41] <prophet> thank you dir
[07:41] <prophet> sir
[07:41] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat: I did the cmd you just gave me.. wasnt that to install it?
[07:41] <Justin_> well have fun qwerty with your borken computer
[07:41] <hawkaloogie> shak_, none, mirc script files are stupid. use xchat, you can find alternatives for most of what mirc scripts do (and a lot of them are build right into the client)
[07:41] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, try doing ./ioquake3.i386   again
[07:41] <Lynoure> prophet: you are welcome, madam
[07:41] <qwerty_> does automatix work better
[07:41] <crimsun> helpmeee: the command /I/ gave you was to install it.
[07:41] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, crimsun gave you that one   : )
[07:42] <FunnyLookinHat> crimsun, thank you for that one, I was frantically searching apt-cache   ^_^;;
[07:42] <prophet> 0_o
[07:42] <prophet> Muah'
[07:42] <shak_> hawkaloogie: its just that.. xhcat doesnt look as powerful? :/
[07:42] <helpmeee> crimsun: thanks <3
[07:42] <crimsun> helpmeee: np
[07:42] <Justin_> automatix i use on my computer after i reinstall ubuntu
[07:42] <Justin_> it wroked much better
[07:42] <Lynoure> prophet: (yep, I'm a girl. so that's my default reaction to people assuming I'm a guy)
[07:42] <Justin_> and had more stuff
[07:42] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, did it work?  : )
[07:42] <qwerty_> i do like that automatix has more options
[07:42] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat: ./ioquake3.i386: error while loading shared libraries: libopenal.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[07:42] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat:  nope :(
[07:42] <prophet> humm
[07:43] <prophet> i see
[07:43] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, we're getting there   : )
[07:43] <hawkaloogie> shak_, you can use Perl or Python or Tcl to script Xchat... what do you mean "doesn't look as powerful?"
[07:43] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat: .. lol hope so
[07:43] <sharms> hawkaloogie: expect a reply in l33t speak
[07:43] <shak_> hawkaloogie: the interface must be deceiving me then, how do I plugin external scripts?
[07:43] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, sudo apt-get install libopenal0
[07:43] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat: im new to linux and ubuntu caught my eye but I wanted more of a guy so kubuntu was the answer :)
[07:43] <sydtsai> Hey, i just messed up my Login Panel... now it is asking me for XDCHP connects... How do I change it back?
[07:44] <prophet> rawr
[07:44] <flack> Anyone: Is there a way to see what version's are availible and what version you have installed for a paction in ubuntu?
[07:44] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat: E: Couldn't find package libopenal0
[07:44] <hawkaloogie> shak_, Window > Plugins and Scripts...
[07:44] <flack> through a cli that is

[07:44] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, sudo apt-get install libopenal0a
[07:44] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat:  ahah.. more of a gui* :X
[07:44] <FunnyLookinHat> ahh cool
[07:44] <Lynoure> flack: I also do apt-cache show <packagename> for that
[07:44] <prophet> how do you kow what will work with apt-get install   ????????
[07:44] <shak_> hawkaloogie: I dont see it
[07:44] <Lynoure> flack: the one that has Installed-size is the one you have
[07:44] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat: E: Couldn't find package libopenal0a
[07:45] <FunnyLookinHat> prophet, most of us search console with sudo apt-cache search <search word>
[07:45] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, ahhh ok, you need to enable multiverse I bet
[07:45] <FunnyLookinHat> !multiverse
[07:45] <FunnyLookinHat> stupid ubotu.
[07:45] <helpmeee> lol
[07:45] <crimsun_> helpmeee: sudo apt-get install libopenal0a
[07:45] <qwerty_> i am so happy automatix works great and installed everything just fine
[07:45] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, sudo nano -w /etc/apt/sources.list    in console
[07:46] <FunnyLookinHat> crimsun, that package isn't showing up for him
[07:46] <Justin_> qwerty what else you expect?
[07:46] <Justin_> :)
[07:46] <prophet> thanks for the tip
[07:46] <qwerty_> easyubuntu just crashed
[07:46] <hawkaloogie> shak_, #xchat would be a better place for your problem
[07:46] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat: k
[07:46] <GreySim> !wine
[07:46] <qwerty_> does ctrl-alt-del work on linux
[07:46] <helpmeee> crimsun: one thing at a time <3
[07:46] <zaire> !vnc
[07:46] <zaire> whats with bot
[07:46] <crimsun_> libopenal0a is a universe package.
[07:46] <shak_> hawkaloogie: I just dont see a "window" you are talking about the menu bar right?
[07:47] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, ok now scroll down to the line that is like this   " ## deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper universe"
[07:47] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, for that line and the next one, remove the ## and add multiverse to the end so you get
[07:47] <crimsun_> zaire: the bot is down due to connectivity issues.
[07:47] <GreySim> Aw man, the bot's not even here. Sad.
[07:47] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper universe multiverse
[07:47] <hawkaloogie> shak_, yes, #xchat would know where it is on your version. I do not.
[07:47] <flack> Lynoure: You use apt-cache show and what other command?
[07:47] <zaire> k whats the package to tightvnc then?
[07:47] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat: crimsun is saying it's something else
[07:47] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat: universa or something
[07:47] <shak_> hawkaloogie: k
[07:48] <prophet> i dont like the feel of the mouse here
[07:48] <Lynoure> flack: sorry, I was unclear, I meant it's wat loads of ppl I know use, but of course there might be a gui way too. I'm not very gui'ish
[07:48] <crimsun> helpmeee: it's definitely a universe package.
[07:48] <FunnyLookinHat> crimsun, oh really... then why isn't it showing up for him??
[07:49] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, copy the line that we are pasting rather than typing it
[07:49] <crimsun> FunnyLookinHat: because he doesn't have dapper/universe enabled?
[07:49] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat: yeah
[07:49] <crimsun> dapper-backports != dapper
[07:49] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat: getting there :)
[07:49] <prophet> whats better art gnome or gnome look>
[07:49] <game> Help, I have two user accounts. One I have nvidia opengl rendering working fine, but in the other it won't. How can I fix this?
[07:49] <deFrysk> prophet, go and see yourself
[07:49] <flack> Lynoure: No, me neither, I enjoy a CLI, but what was the way you saw what was availible? Like can you specifiy what version to install?
[07:50] <prophet> what do i download GTK or GDM?
[07:50] <deFrysk> ?
[07:50] <qwerty_> automatix works fine and easyubuntu crashed my system
[07:50] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, ok so have you removed those two ## symbols from the two lines and added multiverse to the end of them?
[07:50] <Lynoure> flack: it does show all available versions of that package, from the sources in your sources.list.  And the one that has Installed-size listed is the one you have
[07:50] <deFrysk> prophet, neither
[07:50] <prophet> wha tthem
[07:50] <prophet> then
[07:50] <game> Help, anyone?
[07:51] <flack> Lynoure: But how (if) can I choose which version to install?
[07:51] <deFrysk> you get the themes
[07:51] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat: suppost to look like this # deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper universe multiverse
[07:51] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat: im not much of a console or dos or w/e person :)
[07:51] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat: I mean is it suppost to look like that?
[07:52] <Lynoure> flack: I should know that but I have forgotten... There was a way of giving apt-get both the name and the version number
[07:52] <prophet> if i dont download those what do i download from the site
[07:52] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, remove all of the # symbols from the line
[07:52] <prophet> theres really no FAQ
[07:52] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, should look like      deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper universe multiverse
[07:52] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat:  you sure cause the other 3 or 4 there are there have that symbol
[07:52] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, and  deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper universe multiverse
[07:52] <flack> Lynoure: Like, I want nmap version 4.0, nmap, by default with apt installs 3.8, how (other than compiling from sourcE) could I get 4.0?
[07:52] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, yupvery sure  : )
[07:53] <Justin_> qwerty ya easyubuntu broke my box too!!
[07:53] <Justin_> it froze
[07:53] <LucyGirl> game, speak up
[07:53] <Justin_> so i rebooted
[07:53] <Lynoure> flack: see my comment above.
[07:53] <Justin_> and when it came back on
[07:53] <shak_> hawkaloogie: is it possible to automatically log all chat/query sessions?
[07:53] <Justin_> it said X couldnt start
[07:53] <Justin_> and then i had a black screen
[07:53] <Bonez56> yeah
[07:53] <game> I have two user accounts. One I have nvidia opengl rendering working fine, but in the other it won't. How can I fix this?
[07:53] <qwerty_> THIS FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT CALLED EASYUBUNTU JUST CRASHED AND NOW FIREFOX WONT LOAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[07:53] <Justin_> with some wierd stuff written on it
[07:53] <hawkaloogie> shak_, it's in the Settings > Preferences, it's just off by default
[07:53] <Justin_> and i didnt understand
[07:53] <deFrysk> Justin_, anything starting with easy or auto I frown upon
[07:53] <FunnyLookinHat> qwerty_, please watch your language in here.
[07:53] <pepsi> qwerty_, sucks for you
[07:53] <hawkaloogie> qwerty_, you're going to get banned like that
[07:53] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat: deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper universe multiverse alright thats done :) now how do I save that?
[07:53] <qwerty_> sorry
[07:54] <Justin_> deFrysk but automatix worked fine
[07:54] <prophet> anyone?
[07:54] <bimberi> qwerty_: #easyubuntu
[07:54] <Justin_> after i reinstalled
[07:54] <FunnyLookinHat> qwerty_, easy fix:  sudo apt-get remove firefox             sudo apt-get install firefox
[07:54] <Bonez56> qwerty_: chill out man
[07:54] <shak_> hawkaloogie: wow what version are you using? I just have an Edit -> Preferences, and theres no log saving there
[07:54] <Justin_> to fix that easyubuntu shit, i used automatix
[07:54] <deFrysk> Justin_, until you have to do a dist-upgrade
[07:54] <bimberi> !language
[07:54] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, control + x to save
[07:54] <FLeiXiuS> qwerty_: is the shit...
[07:54] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, then type:    sudo apt-get update
[07:54] <bimberi> heh (i forgot - no bot)
[07:54] <Lynoure> flack: googling helped: apt-get install package=version
[07:55] <Derreck> prophet: The gtk ones change the look of programs, the gdm ones change how the login screen looks. If that's what you're asking.
[07:55] <Bonez56> I have a question... i have noticed around the place that there are new versions of software since dapper was released, such as gnome-desktop and open-office. what is the easiest way to upgrade to these new versions? Or, do I have to wait for someone to actually release an update via a .deb (and use apt-get upgrade)
[07:55] <prophet> i want to change the look of everything
[07:55] <qwertybob> boot to login was under 30 seconds on ubuntu64, havent updated yet though
[07:55] <prophet> windows as well as menues
[07:55] <game> LucyGirl: I have two user accounts. One I have nvidia opengl rendering working fine, but in the other it won't. How can I fix this?
[07:55] <qwertybob> Bonez56: why do you need these
[07:55] <DavidJ> is there a tutorial on how to get my internal wifi card to work on my laptop under ubuntu?
[07:55] <hawkaloogie> shak_, i'm using the latest version, 2.6.4, compiled myself, maybe that's why
[07:55] <flack> Lynoure: So if apt-get show doesn't show version 4.0 ubuntu doesn't have it?
[07:55] <Bonez56> qwertybob: just curious to be running up to date sofotware
[07:56] <Derreck> prophet: the menus, buttons and such are the gtk themes, the border around the windows are metacity themes.
[07:56] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat: I did ctrl+x and said y for yes but then it sais file name to write etc/apt/sources.list.. should I just x that window now or is there more
[07:56] <shak_> hawkaloogie: hmm.... xchat gnome 0.11..
[07:56] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, hit enter
[07:56] <qwertybob> Bonezz56: the buntu ones are up to date, just make sure you check your updates
[07:56] <hawkaloogie> shak_, bad idea, just get normal xchat
[07:56] <Bonez56> qwertybob: whats the easiest way to find out what version of say, gnome-desktop i am running?
[07:56] <Lynoure> flack: then the sources you are looking at (the ones in /etc/apt/sources.list ) do not have it. However, do   apt-get update  to be sure you are looking at newest possible listings
[07:56] <bimberi> Bonez56: if they're a security update they will appear quite quickly,  otherwise you can request & wait for a backport or compile it yourself
[07:57] <shak_> hawkaloogie: yep, downloading now
[07:57] <flack> Lynoure: I am, hmmm that's dissapointing
[07:57] <qwertybob> Bonez56: system , about gnome from menu
[07:57] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, did that work?  if so now do        sudo apt-get update
[07:57] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat: alright it's done for sudo apt-get update
[07:57] <LeaChim> DavidJ, what laptop do you have?
[07:57] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat: done that <3
[07:57] <LucyGirl> game, sorry - don't know
[07:57] <prophet> what was that command apt-get cache ?
[07:57] <prophet> search
[07:57] <Lynoure> flack: you might be able to get it from somewhere. Or you could compile it yourself
[07:57] <prophet> something something
[07:57] <qwerty_> automatix seems to work better than easyubuntu so i will continue to use automatix instead of easyubuntu
[07:57] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, ok      sudo apt-get install libopenal0a
[07:58] <Derreck> prophet: You could try installing the gnome-art package, it's a program that displays thumbnails of, and installs themes.
[07:58] <qwertybob> Bonez56: or you can open synaptic and see versions, just search for stuff
[07:58] <flack> Nynoure: I know, but the problem is ubuntu is like that with alot of packages (that's why I went to gentoo... even if hardware detection on ubuntu owns)
[07:58] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat: I think it's installed now :)
[07:58] <Justin_> qwerty_ right on, you cant trust anything that says its easy, only automatic
[07:58] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, ok try ./ioquake3.i386
[07:58] <Lynoure> flack: Ubuntu is not trying to have everything of everything... Debian is trying to do that :)
[07:58] <Justin_> they dont call automatic transmissions "easy transmissions" for a reason you know
[07:58] <Shak-> hawkaloogie, regular xchat now
[07:58] <Justin_> ;)
[07:58] <DavidJ> LeaChim: I have an HP Pavilion dv5167cl laptop
[07:58] <csk> hi all i am running dapper 6.06 and am finding that it is freezing on me a lot of the time. can anyone please help?
[07:59] <burepe> I am trying to run this command "sudo apt-get build-dep banshee" and it keeps telling me I need a URI in sources.list what does that mean?
[07:59] <qwerty_> i guess
[07:59] <qwertybob> Bonez56: ubuntu or debian has there own packages for openoffice, made for system
[07:59] <prophet> yeah just got that derrick
[07:59] <prophet> what was that apt search command though i lik eit>
[07:59] <flack> Lynoure: my debian box only shows version 3.8 too :-P
[07:59] <Derreck> prophet: apt-cache search blah blah
[07:59] <prophet> ogg
[07:59] <prophet> i love that ill save it
[07:59] <LeaChim> DavidJ, you don't happen to know the model of the wireless card do you, or the motherboard if it's on board?
[07:59] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat: alright the sound loads now :) but when I tried some cmds and the sound worked the game would crash upond entering.. so just letting you know if I have to restart the computer
[08:00] <Justin_> all this complaining about easybuntu makes me tired
[08:00] <qwertybob> Bonez56: bug fixes and stuff, so getting a newer version is pointless unless your a developer, there are builds
[08:00] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, oh weird.   um........
[08:00] <prophet> how do you run a app from the comand line "xchat" without quiting out of it afer you do ctrl + z ?
[08:00] <DavidJ> Leachim: I believe it's onboard... but I don't know the model
[08:00] <Lynoure> flack: which version of Debian you have on your debian box? sid is the only one haven't the newest newest stuff, but yep, sometimes unpaid volunteers haven't had enough time or energy
[08:00] <qwerty_> AUTOMATIX RULEZ!!!!!!   EASYUBUNTU SUX!!!!!!!
[08:00] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat: shall I try to play rite now to see if all is well?
[08:00] <DavidJ> LeaChim: I'll check the spec sheet
[08:00] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, give it a try quick
[08:01] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat: well if I disconnect you know why and i'll be back on ;) thanks for the help man <3
[08:01] <qwertybob> qwerty_: i wont risk it, i tried one of the two a while back
[08:01] <qwerty_> automatix worked fine for me
[08:01] <qwertybob> qwerty_: how can you be sure whats happening?
[08:01] <bimberi> prophet: if you want to run it in the background:  xchat &
[08:02] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, I will be logging off soon or going to bed to be AFK
[08:02] <DavidJ> LeaChim: it's a Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
[08:02] <qwertybob> qwert_: im running 64 version so it prob dont work anyway
[08:02] <prophet> oh yeah i remember reading about that
[08:02] <Bonez56> qwertybob: ok thanks for the help :)
[08:02] <Derreck>    Channel    Window    Help                                                                                             SCC
[08:02] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, you can find me on here tommorow most definitely though, especially at night (it's 1am here now to give you an idea of time)
[08:02] <prophet> and howto kill processes
[08:02] <Bonez56> brb
[08:02] <LeaChim> DavidJ, ok, thanks. i'll go find out how to use that one
[08:02] <Derreck> Sorry.
[08:02] <qwertybob> good luck
[08:02] <Bonez56> thx
[08:03] <bimberi> prophet: kill <pid>.   You can find out the pid using 'ps auxw'
[08:03] <fuoco> hi, i have a question: can ubuntu remove (uninstall) packages that are no longer needed, as in dependencies that are not needed anymore etc.. ?
[08:03] <prophet> yeah i remember that
[08:03] <prophet> its cool stuff
[08:03] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat: eww.. it's like 10pm here :X it worked :) but there is a lag now in the sound.. like 2 or 3 seconds
[08:03] <Lynoure> flack: testing and unstable Debian version both have 4.10
[08:03] <prophet> im kinda getting the hang of it
[08:03] <bimberi> fuoco: yes, you can use deborphan for that
[08:03] <deFrysk> fuoco, yes
[08:03] <fuoco> bimberi: but it's not something that's done automatically ?
[08:03] <qwerty_> the automatix installation works just fine
[08:03] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, hmm...  well at least you have some sound   : )
[08:03] <deFrysk> be cautious with using it
[08:04] <qwerty_> easyubuntu messes everything up
[08:04] <fuoco> deFrysk: me ?
[08:04] <Lynoure> fuoco: ..or debfoster, but slightly differently
[08:04] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, I suppose we can troubleshoot this some more tommorow, yes?
[08:04] <deFrysk> yes
[08:04] <DavidJ> LeaChim: If you find anything, could you please PM me?
[08:04] <prophet> the only thing i cant fix is my clock sleeps going 1 hour ahead
[08:04] <bimberi> fuoco: only if you use aptitude for package management.  apt-get and synaptic don't remove obsolete dependencies automatically
[08:04] <prophet> can someone tell my why
[08:04] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat: or I can google or ask for help on here ;) we shall see I guess <3 thanks again
[08:04] <FunnyLookinHat> helpmeee, no problem man, have a good night
[08:05] <helpmeee> FunnyLookinHat: you to
[08:05] <fuoco> if i install for example kde (which pulls many stuff) and then decide to remove it - the deps that got pulled won't be removed ?
[08:06] <BLuNT187> Is anyone aware with the ability to connect ubuntu with a windows sytem via firewire to network them?
[08:07] <bimberi> fuoco: only if you use aptitude for installation and removal
[08:07] <fuoco> bimberi: isn't that the default on ubuntu ?
[08:08] <prophet> linux is TIGHT
[08:08] <prophet> this is all really good quality for FREE
[08:08] <bimberi> fuoco: well no, it's one of many front-ends to apt, Synaptic and apt-get are more popular
[08:08] <fuoco> bimberi: i thought synaptic uses aptitude
[08:08] <prophet> very helpful people u cant find people as helpful for windows
[08:08] <bimberi> fuoco: not afaik
[08:09] <Diegomel> hi
[08:09] <Sphearion> BLuNT187 i have a hybrid windows / linux network (cat 5e cable and a switch) it works just fine linux uses samba to connect to windows shares if that is what your asking
[08:09] <fuoco> i'm considering installing ubuntu. but i'm on an ibook and not sure if that's the best distro for ibooks (ppc)
[08:10] <BLuNT187> kinda
[08:10] <Sphearion> the best distro for an ibook would be... well mac os :)
[08:10] <bimberi> fuoco: Ubuntu is pretty good (i have a mac mini) but it's the only Linux distro i've tried
[08:10] <bimberi> (on ppc)
[08:11] <ToHellWithGA> is this the right place to express my dismay at the fact that the ubuntu store carries white t-shirts instead of brown ones?
[08:11] <Madpilot> ToHellWithGA, that sounds like it should have stayed in -offtopic :)
[08:11] <bimberi> ToHellWithGA: no, but it's too late isn't it ;P
[08:12] <ToHellWithGA> that was, um, a question about "sed" or something
[08:12] <prophet> anyone have any suggestions on my clock thing>
[08:12] <ToHellWithGA> thanks for the feeback, mad and bim
[08:12] <bll3r> hey everyone
[08:12] <bimberi> ToHellWithGA: np, any time :)
[08:12] <fuoco> when a new release of ubuntu is out it's better to just reinstall it ?
[08:13] <LeaChim> prophet, what's the problem?
[08:13] <bll3r> i think you can apt-get upgrade it
[08:13] <LeaChim> fuoco, no, just upgrade
[08:13] <prophet> its 11:13PM on my phone
[08:13] <prophet> on my computer it says 12:13
[08:13] <bimberi> fuoco: if it's feasible it's generally the best way.  However the upgrade is usually fine.
[08:13] <fuoco> LeaChim: ok, thx
[08:13] <prophet> if i set it to 11:13 and restart it will back to 12:13
[08:13] <prophet> when i look in the timezone the clostest to wher ei live is Bosie
[08:13] <fuoco> bimberi: any special reason for that ? :)
[08:13] <prophet> i live PST Oregon
[08:14] <prophet> there is no PST
[08:14] <Madpilot> prophet, it's PDT right now
[08:14] <Madpilot> prophet, look for Portland or one of the other big cities in Oregon
[08:14] <prophet> well it keeps going forward 1 hr after i restart
[08:14] !lilo:*! Not much else to figure out at this point---the times seem to match up. We're going to close it as a peering problem. We're thinking about server code improvements to make these incidents less rocky.
[08:14] <prophet> it doesnt even have oregon for a selection
[08:14] <bll3r> hey if your drive is already partioned is there anyway to add more disk storage?
[08:15] <bll3r> i only put 50 gb's for linux thinking i wouldnt use it that much, but now its all i use
[08:15] <bimberi> fuoco: well with a fresh install you are always starting from a known state
[08:15] <prophet> in that big list
[08:15] <Bonez56> bll3r: install gparted
[08:15] <LucyGirl> use Los Angeles for ur time zone ... nothing is close to Oregon ..
[08:15] <bll3r> after using linux i hate microsoftr
[08:15] <bll3r> lol
[08:15] <Bonez56> bll3r: then you can remove your windows partitions or resize them, and create new linux partitions and mount them in /usr or /home etc
[08:16] <LeaChim> prophet, it automatically synchronizes the time on startup. get the right timezone and it will go away.
[08:16] <polpak> LucyGirl: Vancouver is closer than LA
[08:16] <bll3r> yea i think ik mgoing to do that
[08:16] <helpmeee> can someone help me?
[08:16] <prophet>  makes sence :)
[08:16] <bll3r> the only time i ever go on my windows side is when i wanna watch tv
[08:16] <Madpilot> prophet, either LA or Vancouver are in your timezone
[08:16] <prophet> yeah
[08:16] <bll3r> i cant figure out how to get my tv card working
[08:16] <Bonez56> bll3r: the only thing that sucks is you can't resize existing ex3 partitions, so you will just have to create new ones
[08:16] <LucyGirl> ok ...
[08:16] <prophet> thanks
[08:16] <prophet> aha
[08:16] <polpak> bll3r: I use linux for watching tv myself
[08:16] <poisonmel> i don't have a linux box near by, but can someone tell me if the Webcore Fonts(Verdana, etc) are installed on most linux computers browing the internet?
[08:16] <poisonmel> by default
[08:16] <Madpilot> prophet, Boise is in Mountain TZ, that's why you're an hour out
[08:16] <bll3r> hm
[08:16] <Bonez56> I have a dvico fusion dvb-t card but i have not attempted to get it working yet... :/ poor tv signal in my area so i don't use it anyway
[08:17] <Madpilot> poisonmel, no
[08:17] <prophet> i got it thanks
[08:17] <bll3r> i wonder why i cant get mine to work
[08:17] <bll3r> it kind of sucks
[08:17] <Madpilot> poisonmel, certainly not by default - those are MS fonts
[08:17] <bll3r> because thats the only thing i use windows for
[08:17] <bll3r> that and MS word
[08:17] <LucyGirl> Just trying to set the clock, not argue geography
[08:17] <fuoco> can i find information somewhere on the way ubuntu installs by default - filesystems, partitioning, lvm...?
[08:18] <Bonez56> bll3r: what sort of tv card do you have?
[08:18] <bll3r> hauppauge
[08:18] <LeaChim> prophet, you ok now?
[08:18] <Bonez56> bll3r: love to help but never heard of it!
[08:18] <bll3r> (i think thats the right spelling)
[08:18] <bll3r> damn its ok
[08:18] <Bonez56> bll3r: try google
[08:18] <bll3r> im in school learning unix maybe ill ask my teacher tomorrow
[08:19] <bll3r> yea i tried that bonez
[08:19] <Bonez56> ok
[08:19] <Bonez56> good luck
[08:19] <bll3r> right now im doing shell scripiting
[08:19] <bll3r> very interesting
[08:19] <knoppix> hi all... last nigt I manage my partition using partition magic, and then endup with error 17 on the GRUB. I've try reinstall GRUB, but when "setup (hd0,5) I got error 12:invalid device requested. anyone can help?
[08:19] <Bonez56> what grade are you in?
[08:19] <bll3r> well no grade really
[08:19] <bll3r> its college
[08:19] <Bonez56> ahh ok :)
[08:19] <polpak> bll3r: I use hauppauge tuners for my mythtv box
[08:19] <bll3r> the college i goto is a tech school so im out in 13 months with a AD
[08:20] <enyc> knoppix: erm.... hd(0,5)  may not be valid
[08:20] <prophet> yeah im fine thanks for being to patient
[08:20] <bll3r> mythtv?
[08:20] <prophet> so*
[08:20] <enyc> knoppix: maybe (hd0,[something else] ) now
[08:20] <Bonez56> Myth TV is the software you use to watch tv
[08:20] <polpak> bll3r: it's a PVR program (for recording tv shows etc)
[08:20] <LucyGirl> knoppix, partition magic does not like linux  ... it made a mess of my drive
[08:20] <knoppix> enyc: i got hd0,5 from command find /boot/grub/stage1 in the grub
[08:21] <enyc> knoppix: note that (hd0) refers to whatever is the fist BIOS-supported disk at boot-time....
[08:21] <enyc> knoppix: note that grub partiton numbors do NOT directly relate to linux partition numbers (hda1 hda2 etc.)
[08:22] <bll3r> Package mythtv has no installation candidate
[08:22] <bll3r> damn
[08:22] <LucyGirl> knoppix, what r u trying to do ... set up dual boot?
[08:22] <polpak> bll3r: that's because it's broken into several packages
[08:22] <abo> is there any text editor in linux that can select vertically, (like ultra edit in windows)?
[08:22] <enyc> knoppix: well maybe hthat used to be the linux boot partition in the past.... but it you have moved with PQMAGIC....
[08:22] <polpak> !info mythtv
[08:22] <polpak> hrm no ubotu?
[08:22] <bimberi> polpak: aye :|
[08:23] <bll3r> thats what im using
[08:23] <prophet> my windows kinda drag is there a way to check if i have the right driver for my 9800pro
[08:23] <bll3r> ubuntu
[08:23] <knoppix> LucyGirl: i've dualboot longtime. and i just wanna change the partition size
[08:23] <abo> knoppix, I had same issue, apparently partition magic change the names of the partitions
[08:23] <polpak> bll3r:  use synaptic and search for myth
[08:23] <polpak> bll3r: there are several packages in the universe repos
[08:23] <polpak> bll3r: but you first need to install the hauppauge drivers
[08:23] <bll3r> yea i think i should do my research first
[08:24] <bll3r> then ill mess around with it
[08:24] <bll3r> im new to this linux stuff, i got everything else working except for this
[08:24] <knoppix> well guys.. thanks for now.. i got to go.. brb ;-)
[08:24] <abo> knoppix, basically what happens, /boot/group/menu.lst will be still contain old partition names/numbers and thus grub can't mount and load, error 17 means couldn't mount partition
[08:24] <LucyGirl> knoppix, maybe somebody in the group can help .. I don't like Symantec ... they made a mess of my drive
[08:24] <redblades> Hi, is it possible from within Ubuntu to make an up to date install CD?
[08:24] <polpak> bll3r: there are several howtos if you google mythtv tutorial
[08:25] <enyc> redblades: not that I know of... .however there is a project/idea to make 'point release' cds in dapper
[08:25] <JimmyDoDangle> Tons of people here.
[08:25] <redblades> Is in, make a sn install CD, with the current Kernel program versions etc?
[08:25] <enyc> JimmyDoDangle: aah yes so there are ;-)
[08:25] <redblades> Ah... I see...
[08:25] <enyc> redblades: yes... that is a point-release
[08:25] <enyc> redblades: like debian have
[08:25] <abo> is there any text editor that can do vertical selection for linux (same as ultra edit in windows)?
[08:26] <Derreck> People? Where? People scare me.
[08:26] <skavenge> anyone here have amarok installed in gnome?
[08:26] <knoppix> LucyGirl: thanks.. i'll try letter.. got to go now
[08:26] <Hit3k> http://pastebin.ca/93133 can someone help me fix those errors?
[08:26] <polpak> abo: yeah, I've been looking for that feature too. Nobody seems to have it
[08:26] <LucyGirl> knoppix, bye and good luck.
[08:26] <redblades> But, can you make it from Ubuntu? Or does one download it.
[08:26] <bll3r> what is the difference between gnome and kde?
[08:26] <abo> knoppix, I thought you left, I may be able to help
[08:27] <redblades> bll3r, the looks, the code
[08:27] <redblades> the functioning
[08:27] <bll3r> oh
[08:27] <bll3r> ok
[08:27] <helpmeee> can someone help me with a sound issue?
[08:27] <JimmyDoDangle> The whole Gnome vs. KDE debate is quite a big one.  They're very similar, and very different.  The only way to really know the difference is to try both.
[08:27] <polpak> bll3r: there are stylistic differences.. KDE is supposed to be more customizable, Gnome is supposed to be more consistant (standard menus between apps etc) but in general they are intended to do the same things
[08:27] <bll3r> ubuntu is gnome right
[08:27] <JimmyDoDangle> Yes.
[08:27] <JimmyDoDangle> And Kubuntu is KDE.
[08:28] <bll3r> no shit
[08:28] <bll3r> thanks
[08:28] <polpak> !language
[08:28] <redblades> I personally love Gnome, and find KDE a bit too "in-your-face" but other people love it, so it's a personal thing.
[08:28] <polpak> ergh
[08:28] <bll3r> shit man i think im gonna come in here more often
[08:28] <bll3r> you can learn a lot
[08:28] <redblades> O RLY
[08:28] <polpak> bll3r: you can actually try kde on your vanilla ubuntu system also
[08:28] <bimberi> Hit3k: looks like an issue with your sources.list - put it on a pastebin too
[08:28] <JimmyDoDangle> I used KDE for many, many years, before I finally gave Gnome an honest try.  I installed it and used it exclusively for a week.  Once I gave it an honest try I loved it, and have been using it ever since.
[08:29] <polpak> bll3r: if you use aptitude to install kubuntu-desktop you can choose if you want gnome or kde on the login screen
[08:29] <redblades> How do I check if both my HD are being used?
[08:29] <redblades> I think the Gnome one is WAY better.
[08:29] <redblades> the KDE login screen is pretty dull.
[08:29] <redblades> Unless you can change it... Can you?
[08:29] <polpak> I also prefer gnome and gnome apps. But there's one app I don't have a replacement for yet
[08:30] <polpak> well 2 actually
[08:30] <Hit3k> bimberi, http://pastebin.ca/93137
[08:30] <redblades> Which?
[08:30] <polpak> smb4k and qgo
[08:30] <JimmyDoDangle> I think you can change it, yes redblades.
[08:30] <bimberi> Hit3k: line 6 needs "dapper " before main (like the line above)
[08:30] <JimmyDoDangle> Just like you can change the one on Gnome.
[08:31] <DavidJ> I'm having trouble fixing the resolution of my laptop... I need it to be 1440x900 at 60 hz
[08:31] <polpak> DavidJ: what video card?
[08:31] <Hit3k> oh
[08:31] <redblades> polpak, I'm not familiar with those... Also, I like KDE, but I wish it could work without all the KDE sh1t is grabs with it.
[08:31] <polpak> DavidJ: or chipset
[08:32] <DavidJ> polpak: give me a moment
[08:32] <JimmyDoDangle> Well I'm out for now guys.  First time in the room.  It looks interesting, I might have to come back sometime.
[08:32] <DavidJ> polpak Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 (128MB shared)
[08:32] <Hit3k> bimberi, that should fix it
[08:33] <bimberi> Hit3k: fingers crossed :)
[08:33] <polpak> DavidJ: well, do you use the CRT or svideo out ports?
[08:33] <DavidJ> not currently but I would like the option
[08:35] <phpError> Hey, does anyone have a link to the Firefox Flash plugin (latest version) for Ubuntu 6.06?
[08:35] <prophet> thanks for all the help guys im going to sleep bye
[08:35] <polpak> DavidJ: well I've had success with correcting laptop resolutions by using the 915resolution package but when I do that it generally makes the resolution unusable for a dual head display
[08:35] <polpak> DavidJ: I've not found a solution yet
[08:36] <phpError> Someone has to know :S
[08:36] <phpError> Hey, does anyone have a link to the Firefox Flash plugin (latest version) for Ubuntu 6.06?
[08:36] <polpak> phpError: stop spamming. the flash plugin is in the repos, but it's just flash 7. there is not flash 8 for linux yet
[08:36] <bimberi> phpError: install flashplugin-nonfree from multiverse
[08:37] <phpError> Okay.
[08:37] <Hit3k> its worked thanks bimberi
[08:37] <phpError> bimberi: How do i do it from multiverse? :S
[08:37] <bimberi> Hit3k: phew, np ;)
[08:37] <phpError> I'm sorta new to Linux,
[08:38] <bahadirt> goodmorning guys
[08:38] <bimberi> phpError: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories
[08:38] <bahadirt> I try to install avg antivirus on ubuntu but I dont know which file to download. flm flr or fls
[08:38] <bahadirt> ?
[08:39] <Bonez56> bahadirt: ?
[08:39] <bll3r87> is it a good idea to install a virus scanner?
[08:39] <bll3r87> or should it be allset?
[08:40] <bahadirt> should I leave the pc unprotected ?
[08:40] <bahadirt> it will act as a mail server
[08:40] <bahadirt> hopefully :)
[08:40] <sysdoc> DavidJ, 1440x900 probably need a modline entry in the xorg.conf
[08:40] <bahadirt> when I properly config postfix
[08:40] <Bonez56> if you are running a mailserver then you can install clamav
[08:40] <Bonez56> other than that there is no need for av software
[08:41] <adamant1988> hey is anyone here really good with wifi problems?
[08:41] <polpak> !anyone
[08:41] <polpak> argh.. ubotu come back
[08:42] <adamant1988> it must be nice having a bot speak for you
[08:42] <DavidJ> sysdoc: I have no idea what that is
[08:42] <adamant1988> but you could just answer me and save the time of trying to make me feel ignorant.
[08:42] <Derreck> adamant1988: I'm great at making wifi problems, probably one of the best :)
[08:43] <adamant1988> thanks Derreck,  I'm using wifi radar to try to connect to a WLan but it won't connect... it's finding the connection and configureing everything ok, but no connection
[08:43] <colk> adamant1988, you could actually ask what the problem is
[08:43] <CyDrive> Hello can someone help me with wine when i try to install a program or run winecfg i get this error Unknown device ID 3150, please report. Assuming plain R300.
[08:43] <Derreck> adamant: Sorry I was just trying to be funny. Wifi and myself don't get along.
[08:44] <adamant1988> -_-
[08:44] <sysdoc> DaveyJ, http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl <check that out
[08:44] <adamant1988> ok then... Can anyone help with that problem? would a different program help things or no?
[08:45] <adamant1988> the hardware I'm using to connect with is supposedly very linux friendly (belkin Wireless G USB adapter)
[08:45] <CyDrive> adamant why dont you just connect through the networing options?
[08:45] <LucyGirl> adamant1988, i don't know if i can help .. had same prob and it was firmware issue
[08:45] <sysdoc> DaveyJ, I had to set a modeline in xorg.conf on this laptop in FC4
[08:46] <MystaMax> does anyone know if the mysql-admin GUI tool in the repositories is the application that MySQL wrote themselves and is available on their webiste?
[08:46] <LucyGirl> adamant1988, do u know if belkin uses Broadcom chip set?
[08:46] <adamant1988> uhm, not sure but I can look under the hardware thing and see
[08:47] <LucyGirl> go for it
[08:47] <bahadirt> bonex
[08:47] <adamant1988> it doesn't say
[08:47] <bahadirt> bonez : ok mate. I download clamav now
[08:47] <sysdoc> MystaMax, http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/index.php
[08:47] <adamant1988> it identified it as belkin
[08:47] <adamant1988> that's it
[08:48] <adamant1988> also when I run iwconfig it informs me that no network interfaces are found
[08:48] <bahadirt> I failed to set up an internet connection
[08:48] <bahadirt> system recognizes the network adapter (pci)
[08:48] <bahadirt> but still there is something wrong
[08:48] <bahadirt> I swicth to dhcp
[08:48] <bahadirt> to obtain an automatic ip
[08:50] <LucyGirl> adamant1988, that is the firmware symtom ... the drivers are there u just can't connect.
[08:50] <adamant1988> is there a fix lucygirl?
[08:50] <LucyGirl> just a sec .. let me give u the cookbook solution I used .. it is very tidy
[08:51] <adamant1988> great thanks :)
[08:54] <kintaro0e> hi everyone.. whats the problem with this? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18413
[08:54] <polpak> kintaro0e: you probably need universe and multiverse enabled

[08:55] <polpak> use source o matic to configure your /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:55] <seraphimpan> 'Ning all...  Any gvimmers out there?

[09:27] <Kanpachi> ui?
[09:27] <Kanpachi> no no i don't want the alt+crl console
[09:27] <Kanpachi> i want the terminal in x
[09:27] <Flannel> Kanpachi: believe alt-f2 brings up a run dialog.  But yeah, ctrl-alt-f# will get you a tty

For some reason my PC goes straight into XP.  Any suggestions ? I'm assuming I need to install grub manually somehow

[09:32] <bla|patrick> well then
[09:32] <leeyee> well, I don't need applications themselves, but some articles talking about that

[09:37] <RShadow> Ok.. I create one package with checkinstall (apache 2.2.2) and everything went fine.. however I'm tryint to do the same thing with PHP but it won't install because it says its trying to overwrite the httpd.conf that is part of the apache install.. how do I fix this?
[09:37] <cu83> can someone help me setup PHP5 with apache locally?
[09:37] <bla|patrick> Flannel: DRI is used by games, e.g.?
[09:37] <akdmia> this is all error ???
[09:38] <Flannel> bla|patrick: I have no idea what youre talking about ;)
[09:38] <akdmia> don;t you have a stacktrace ?
[09:38] <alehop> 1. ERROR in AccessibleImpl.java

[09:38] <alehop> The type AccessibleImpl must implement the inherited abstract method AccessibleOperations.getAttributes()
[09:38] <bla|patrick> Flannel: that direct rendering doesnt work post above
[09:38] <alehop> that is the error
[09:38] <Flannel> alehop: don't paste in here please
[09:38] <bla|patrick> i am still new and wondering whats it used for
[09:38] <bla|patrick> am in xgl too and didnt missed it so far :D
[09:38] <Flannel> cu83: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[09:38] <alehop> ok
[09:39] <akdmia> this file.. java is incomplete
[09:39] <Deepsight> Hello ppl, does anybody works with libmysql++-dev ? i have a newbie problem, i get mysql++.h not such file
[09:39] <akdmia> needs to implements  all methods off AccesibleOperations
[09:40] <sophie_marshall> anyone used vmware before here?
[09:40] <alehop> and how could i do that?
[09:40] <RShadow> eh forget.. checkinstall is evil.. I'm defaulting back to make install
[09:40] <Flannel> alehop: it's a problem with that software, you should contact the developers about a fix.
[09:40] <akdmia> Flannel has right
[09:40] <akdmia> you need post a bug
[09:41] <bla|patrick> about compiling: it doesnt work... that faq on that mplayer page links to dead pages for basic requirements :|
[09:41] <bla|patrick> and in the repos is nohting
[09:41] <Flannel> RShadow: any particular reason youre not just using the binary debs?
[09:41] <alehop> ok. I understand.
[09:41] <RShadow> Flannel, because there outdated
[09:41] <akdmia> or edit AccesibleImpl.. to add the empty methods,, and test if works
[09:41] <Sphearion> is there a way to mount a samba share like its a native drive like in windows?
[09:41] <Sphearion> nevermind
[09:42] <hangfire> RShadow- is that you, the guy from 3DBuzz.com?
[09:42] <alehop> or  I can download again the same package
[09:42] <akdmia> maybe... you can check your java version
[09:42] <RShadow> hangfire, yes
[09:42] <alehop> 'cause add the empty methods could be too complicate
[09:43] <Wudung> hey, i have a problem with Ubuntu, can anyone help me?
[09:43] <akdmia> maybe.. the soft id developed with other version you trying to make..and has a different classes
[09:43] <hangfire> cool, I thought you were just an Gentoo guy, are you from Korea or just living there?
[09:43] <eXistenZ> hangfire, why "an"?
[09:43] <hangfire> "an"?
[09:43] <cu83> Flannel, I've tried that page but when i try to load localhost/test.php it doesn't work
[09:43] <eXistenZ> hangfire, "thought you were just an Gentoo guy"
[09:43] <Flannel> cu83: what doesn't work?
[09:43] <RShadow> hangfire, ya, I prefer Gentoo for just this reason (tyring to install anything outside of a repo is a pain in the @#$) but for this server I don't have a choice).. just here in Korea for the job..
[09:44] <hangfire> whoops, your right Flannel
[09:44] <bla|patrick> and that debian package demands newer libs compared to breezys
[09:44] <bla|patrick> :|
[09:44] <cu83> when i goto localhost/test.php(my test file) mozilla asks me if i want to download it but it doesn't execute iti
[09:44] <Flannel> bla|patrick: yep.  Like I said, debian and ubuntu packages aren't compatable.
[09:45] <bla|patrick> well and compiling doent work either
[09:45] <bla|patrick> or das breezy come with mozilla devel packages?
[09:45] <bla|patrick> in synaptic i couldnt find them
[09:45] <Flannel> cu83: alright, go to /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ do you see a php5.conf?
[09:45] <RShadow> and dependencies are insane.. for the life of me I can't figure out why postfix is a required dependency for just about anything mail related.. if I want mutt.. I have to install postfix.. why postfix is married to anything mail related is beyond me
[09:45] <DavidJ> hey... when installing windows xp is there any way to get your SATA drivers set up without a floppy drive?
[09:45] <Wudung> Can anyone help me? My apt-get doesn't work, I can't use the Synaptic Package Manager, and i get an error when i try to open the Update Manager. I'm running Ubuntu Breezy.
[09:45] <hangfire> RShadow- what do you think of FreeBSD? They did a lot for the Linux utility cause
[09:45] <Flannel> DavidJ: this is #ubuntu, you might try #windows
[09:46] <cu83> Flannel, yep
[09:46] <skorm> Wudung: Have you got another instance running?
[09:46] <bobulooo> I have 3 hard drives in my machine and I'm trying to figure out which is which in grub.  Two ide drives (hda and hdb) and one SATA drive (sda).  Is there a way to figure out the mapping in grub?
[09:46] <RShadow> hangfire, FreeBSD is cool.. but thats why we have Gentoo.. freebsd for Linux... on sterioids :)
[09:46] <Wudung> instance of Ubuntu? no

[09:50] <Flannel> cu83: alright, in that same folder, is there a php5.load?
[09:50] <redblades> @? or with?
[09:50] <cu83> Flannel, yep pastebin it?
[09:50] <skorm> lol at redblades
[09:50] <redblades> Why? he was being a dickhead.
[09:51] <skorm> Just the way you said it
[09:51] <skorm> and you were the only one to say, but we all thought it
[09:51] <redblades> That's what I meant by "with"
[09:51] <redblades> Har!
[09:51] <Flannel> cu83: nah, if it exists, it's fine.  I'll need you to paste.. /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default though

[09:53] <CaptainMorgan> in GAIM how do I remove someone from blocked status?
[09:53] <skorm> CaptainMorgan: its under security settings or somthing
[09:53] <dan_> ok, i will try talk some ontopic stuff ...
[09:53] <dan_> so , what's the topic here ?
[09:53] <skorm> dan_: surrport
[09:53] <skorm> just helping people

[09:54] <Seveas> caplink811_log, tools  privacy
[09:54] <dan_> i started to run automix 5 hours before
[09:54] <dan_> but why it still running now ?
[09:54] <Seveas> dan_, automatix is a piece of junk
[09:54] <cu83> Flannel, does it look alright?
[09:54] <Seveas> please don't use it
[09:54] <cu83> shouldn't the stock install work
[09:54] <CaptainMorgan> skorm:  I don't see anything labelled 'security'
[09:54] <cu83> ?
[09:55] <Seveas> CaptainMorgan, tools  privacy
[09:55] <skorm> Seveas: thats the one
[09:55] <Orion-Coder> Hey who here knows TomB like where he lives and stuff?
[09:55] <dan_> seveas, so how can I install those stuff automaticlly ?
[09:55] <Orion-Coder> I'm amking sure he is the right guy
[09:55] <skorm> dan_: using apt-get
[09:55] <Flannel> cu83: yeah, it does.  Sorry, how about apache2.conf, in /etc/apache2/ (sorry been a while since Ive done apache stuff)
[09:55] <CaptainMorgan> t Seveas thanks
[09:55] <Seveas> dan_, it's not harder to manually install it via synaptic or gnome-app-install
[09:56] <dan_> seveas, u know i followed the faq to install java,
[09:56] <cu83> Flannel, no prob thanks for the help i'll pastebin it
[09:56] <dan_> by apt-get
[09:56] <Seveas> plus, it won't wreck your systm like automatix does 
[09:56] <dan_> but my system tell me there is no such package ?
[09:56] <CaptainMorgan> nice feature that block..

[09:57] <akdmia> apt-get install sun-java5-jdk

[09:58] <akdmia> what version of ubuntu are you using
[09:58] <frogzoo> !anything
[09:58] <ubotu> I know nothing about anything - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[09:59] <dan_> poppak, how to do that please ?
[09:59] <Seveas> dan_, the easiest way: applications  add remove, search for java runtime and tick the "sun java 5.0 runtime" box
[09:59] <Seveas> it doesn't get much easier than that

[10:00] <Flannel> cu83: this all looks fine.  One thing I shouldve asked earlier, did you restart apache after installing php?
[10:00] <cu83> Flannel, yep i ran the cmd: /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[10:00] <Flannel> cu83: with sudo?
[10:00] <cu83> i was  root
[10:00] <Flannel> good enough ;)
[10:00] <cu83> =P
[10:01] <lightstar> cu83, sorry 2 interject but after installing php did u do en2mod php5? then restart it?
[10:02] <cu83> lightstar, nope how do i do that?
[10:02] <Flannel> lightstar: yeah, he's got php5.load/conf in mods-enabled
[10:02] <cu83> oh
[10:02] <Seveas> lightstar, the php5 postinst calls a2enmod 
[10:02] <Flannel> cu83: the only thing I can think of is that 'IfModule mod_php5.c' isn' being defined (well, just the mod_php5)
[10:02] <lightstar> Flannel, ah ok..really? mine didnt
[10:02] <lightstar> Seveas, i had 2 manually do it b4 it was enabled..
[10:02] <Flannel> but, as far as I know, that should be automatic with the php5.load
[10:03] <cu83> i just ran: apt-get install php5 && /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[10:03] <Flannel> lightstar: all a2enmod does is symlink [whatever] .load and .conf from -avail to -enabled
[10:03] <Flannel> cu83: did you not install libapache2-php5?
[10:03] <Flannel> or whatever the actual text is
[10:03] <cu83> Flannel it said it was already installed
[10:04] <Flannel> cu83: I figured it was, since otherwise the php5.conf/etc things shouldnt really exist
[10:04] <lightstar> Flannel, yeah
[10:04] <lightstar> cu83, try looking in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled and see if there is a reference to php5
[10:05] <cu83> lightstar, yeah there's a bunch
[10:05] <cu83> php5.load, php5.conf....etc.
[10:06] <lightstar> cu83, hmm
[10:06] <Flannel> etc? should just be those two ;)
[10:06] <cu83> lol =P
[10:06] <lightstar> hehe
[10:06] <Flannel> lightstar: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18419 18421 and 22 are your relevant pastes
[10:06] <cu83> after install I created test.php in /var/www
[10:07] <lightstar> Flannel, i'm looking at 22..now looking at 19:)
[10:07] <cu83> then went to mozilla and opened: localhost/test.php
[10:07] <cu83> and it asked if i wanted to download it
[10:07] <cu83> do i have  to do anything special to the .php file itself?
[10:07] <DavidJ> #windows is dead. Anyone know how to get a SATA drive to read in a laptop during a windows XP install if your laptop doesn't have a floppy drive?
[10:08] <Flannel> cu83: the download thing means it isn't parsing it, it's actually a fairly common problem (the AddHandler) thing, but php5.conf adds it (well, with the module check)
[10:08] <Flannel> DavidJ: this is #ubuntu, at least try in #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:08] <lightstar> cu83, try tail /var/log/httpd-error.log
[10:08] <cu83> k
[10:08] <DavidJ> it is at least ubuntu related. I want to dual boot windows xp and ubuntu
[10:08] <FusE> Im trying to install aMSN, where do I get TCL?
[10:08] <lightstar> cu83, oops..tail /var/log/apache2/error.log
[10:09] <frogzoo> DavidJ: OT? lol
[10:09] <cu83> lightstar, no errors
[10:09] <Seveas> !windows

[10:20] <bsmith> hello, i installed dapper recently and i'm on a 2.6.15-25-386 kernel
[10:20] <bsmith> should there be a kernel source package in apt that corresponds to this kernel?

[10:20] <Ribs> \o/
[10:20] <Samdsleilink> Can anyone help ?
[10:21] <Bergcube> bahadirt~  Have you tried pinging out from your machine?  You should first try pinging a "raw" ip address and then a domain.  1) ping 193.69.165.21  2) ping vg.no   (For example)
[10:21] <bahadirt> can only ping localhost
[10:21] <bahadirt> nothing else
[10:21] <bahadirt> pity huh
[10:21] <bsmith> hmm, it tries to install kernel-source-2.4.27 when i do that, for some reason
[10:21] <Flannel> bsmith: Samdsleilink sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[10:21] <Flannel> er, Samdsleilink
[10:21] <bahadirt> maybe it fails to obtain an automatic ip
[10:21] <bahadirt> ?
[10:21] <Samdsleilink> rgabjs
[10:21] <Samdsleilink> thanks even

[10:33] <Sola6662> o.o
[10:33] <spydr> bjorn-, edit->current profile->title and command  .... select Run command as shell
[10:34] <FusE> juju, my latest prank: http://illusion-x.net/lolrofl.html
[10:34] <Seveas> FusE, juju: take the offtopic talk elsewhere please
[10:34] <spydr> run terminal again and it should load your .bash_profile
[10:34] <FusE> Seaveas, is that an autoresponder? because Ive seen tons of off topic in here :S
[10:35] <elkbuntu> FusE, juju your enter keys will wear out too quickly if you dont stop.
[10:35] <FusE> elkbuntu, huh?
[10:35] <FusE> Are you talking about TCL?
[10:35] <elkbuntu> FusE, no, the hitting the enter key every 4 characters
[10:36] <juju> err
[10:36] <juju> urg
[10:36] <FusE> I don't hit it every four letters <_<
[10:36] <juju> [20:35]  * [10053]  Software caused connection abort
[10:36] <FusE> Can someone tell me where to get TCL?
[10:36] <Seveas> FusE, system  administration  synaptic
[10:36] <Seveas> and search for tcl
[10:36] <FusE> Thanks
[10:37] <FusE> Damn, its updating atm
[10:37] <Seveas> then you'll have to wait
[10:37] <Seveas> patience is a virtue
[10:37] <FusE> Why walk when you can run?
[10:38] <FusE> I love the ubuntu cursors and tha background
[10:38] <juju> lol FusE
[10:38] <FusE> lol
[10:38] <juju> er
[10:38] <FusE> I was Linux deprived :P
[10:38] <juju> everyone from codestream irc moved to a different one
[10:38] <Seveas> juju, last warning. offtopicness elsewhere
[10:39] <FusE> Dont worry, we moved it to pm
[10:39] <juju> >:(
[10:39] <FusE> @juju: pm
[10:39] <juju> k
[10:40] <nrdb> is the an program like kdesu for gnome?
[10:40] <Seveas> nrdb, gksudo
[10:40] <FusE> ubuntu is a cool name, I wanna name my child Ubuntu :)
[10:40] <FusE> or, if its a girl, Debian
[10:41] <alehop> hi
[10:41] <FusE> Ello
[10:41] <spydr> why not Fedora lol
[10:41] <FusE> That would be her middle name
[10:41] <nrdb> Seveas: thanks
[10:41] <FusE> And his would be ummm, Redhat
[10:41] <asdx> how do i install a .deb from http?
[10:41] <Seveas> !deb
[10:41] <ubotu> deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click on them (Ubuntu) or right-click and select Kubuntu Package Menu->install (Kubuntu)
[10:41] <asdx> directly, without download it first
[10:41] <FusE> What was that for....
[10:41] <Seveas> asdx, that can only be done via apt
[10:42] <spydr> Hi My name is Ubuntu Fedora Doe
[10:42] <spydr> :P
[10:42] <Seveas> FusE, for continuing offtopicness after 2 warnings
[10:42] <asdx> Seveas: how
[10:42] <FusE> That wasn't offtopic...
[10:42] <asdx> dpkg won't do that?
[10:42] <Seveas> asdx, the place you download it from must be a proper repository
[10:42] <Seveas> asdx, no, dpkg only does local files
[10:42] <asdx> sigh
[10:44] <WillFarnaby>  /quit
[10:44] <ardchoille> I'm ubuntu user #112. Just registered my 11 machines :)
[10:44] <FusE> ardchoille, you can register ubuntu?
[10:45] <Seveas> FusE, see topic
[10:45] <FusE> Wtf, Im on topic now.
[10:45] <ardchoille> FusE: Yes: http://ubuntucounter.geekosophical.net/  I didn't know it until Seveas put it in the topic
[10:45] <juju> KEKEKEKEKEKEK
[10:45] <Seveas> FusE, the counting thing is in the topic...
[10:46] <FusE> Oh, I thought you were like, saying something about it.
[10:46] <FusE> Its a counter for ubuntu?
[10:46] <Seveas> yes
[10:46] <juju> >:(
[10:46] <Seveas> brand new, so you can still get the low numbers
[10:46] <nrdb> is there a program that will put up a dialog with a short message that can be triggered from a script?
[10:46] <Seveas> juju, next time will be a ban.
[10:47] <ardchoille> nrdb: Yes, zenity can do that and it's quite configurable.
[10:47] <FusE> http://ubuntucounter.geekosophical.net/img/ubuntu-user.php?user=113
[10:47] <nrdb> ardchoille: thanks that looks like it will work.
[10:48] <ardchoille> nrdb: You're welcome :)
[10:49] <FusE> What does the S stand for in the Synaptic packages
[10:50] <Seveas> whether it's installed or not
[10:50] <FusE> Wait, it says I have TCL and TK, but yet when I try to install MSN
[10:50] <Seveas> short for Status
[10:50] <Seveas> FusE, if you want amsn, just install amsn via synaptic...

[10:58] <yorik> hi
[10:58] <skorm> someone qdb.us that
[10:58] <FusE> lol
[10:58] <FusE> put it on bash.org
[10:58] <skorm> bash.org is dying
[10:58] <Bergcube> yorik~  Poor you.  We hardly knew you...  ;-)
[10:58] <FusE> very
[10:58] <Cyball> hi is it possible to made audio conference with yahoo, icq or msn messangers ???
[10:58] <Subhuman> Cyball, not in gaim
[10:58] <yorik> Bergcube: are you sure?  I thought you knew me too well...
[10:58] <Subhuman> you can in msn with Amsn
[10:58] <Subhuman> !msn
[10:58] <ubotu> Instant Messenger Clients: Gaim (GNOME, http://wiki.ubuntu.com/GaimHowto), Kopete (KDE), both supporting MSN, Jabber, AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ and IRC.
[10:59] <FusE> Subhuman  I know :)
[10:59] <yorik> I recently switched from XP, and have a problem with copy & paste with hebrew
[10:59] <Bergcube> yorik~  I think we must stop now, before someone ELSE goes too medieval on us...
[10:59] <Cyball> i have already gaim and i want to make audioconference with yahoo but how it doesn't support this future
[10:59] <ardchoille> What is this SLED menu I keep hearing about? Is there some info about it?
[10:59] <yorik> when I'm in Hebrew mode, I can't Ctrl+x Ctrl+v etc.
[10:59] <Subhuman> yorik
[11:00] <Subhuman> try selecting the text
[11:00] <Subhuman> and then middle clicking
[11:00] <Seveas> ardchoille, it's called slab - there exists a preliminary Uslab (Ubuntu slab) patch somewhere on the wiki. do a title search for slab
[11:00] <yorik> Subhuman: hmm, I'd rather not use the mouse if I can avoid it.
[11:00] <ardchoille> Seveas: Thank you
[11:01] <Subhuman> yorik, im jus saying does that work?
[11:01] <yorik> oh, trying
[11:01] <yorik> Subhuman: yeah, it dupes the text.
[11:03] <Subhuman> well ctrl+C/V doesnt always work in every app see
[11:03] <yorik> Subhuman: the thing is, it works in Firefox. just not when I'm in Hebrew mode.
[11:04] <yorik> in XP, Ctrl+x works regardless of your keyboard language mode. I was wondering if there's a way to make it work on Ubuntu too, at least for FF.
[11:04] <Stroganoff> hello. why is it, that my proftpd caps upload limit at 500 kb/s?
[11:04] <Bergcube> Subhuman~  Talking about that...  Can we convince / configure bash to make CTRL-V work in the terminal?
[11:05] <Subhuman> Bergcube, no idea im afraid, i love the middle click "X!1" style copy/paste
[11:05] <yorik> actually, Ctrl-v is a pretty horrible binding, right next to Ctrl-c
[11:06] <yorik> I prefer the emacs bindings, but anything would be better than the mouse.
[11:07] <thomas> hi guys
[11:07] <thomas> whats the difference between a primary and a logical partition
[11:08] <frogzoo> Stroganoff: depends - what's your upstream b/w ?
[11:08] <yorik> Bergcube: is he insanely smart? ;)
[11:08] <FusE> !wine
[11:08] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[11:08] <Bergcube> yorik~  Yes.  But you can also put the full stop in that sentence directly after "insane".....
[11:09] <yorik> ok, another question: I like the default English font, but the default Hebrew font is pretty horrible. How do I change it?
[11:09] <Subhuman> thomas, to the end user nothing, basically a hd can have 4 primary partitions, so to have more, the 4th partiton becomes "extended" and is just a container for logical partitions.
[11:09] <Subhuman> you get me?
[11:09] <thomas> Subhuman, ok
[11:10] <thomas> Subhuman, but a the operating systems have to be on a primary partition or
[11:10] <frogzoo> thomas: not so
[11:10] <FusE> I dont understand how to install wine
[11:10] <FusE> how do I add a repository
[11:10] <frogzoo> !multiverse
[11:10] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[11:11] <thomas> frogzoo: so the os could also be on an logical partition ?
[11:11] <frogzoo> thomas: sure
[11:12] <FusE> how do I add a repository
[11:12] <thomas> frogzoo: so whats happening if the os is in an extended partition
[11:12] <Seveas> FusE, read the 2 pages ubotu gave
[11:12] <Stroganoff> frogzoo i'm talking about 100mbit LAN
[11:12] <frogzoo> thomas: nothing special - it's just a partition - i have / on /dev/hda7
[11:12] <Tommy2k4> i did update-rc.d sendmail remove but sendmail still tries to start on bootup
[11:13] <Stroganoff> i can download with 10 mb/s but uploading is always at 500 kb/s (with several ubuntu/proftpd computers)
[11:13] <FusE> !wine
[11:13] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[11:13] <FusE> It only gives one!
[11:13] <frogzoo> Stroganoff: oh, well that's kind of slow
[11:13] <thomas> frogzoo: ok thx for your help
[11:13] <Stroganoff> yes it must be some kind of software limit
[11:17] <FusE> woot
[11:17] <FusE> got wine installed
[11:17] <FusE> how can I test it?
[11:17] <frogzoo> FusE: wine notepad
[11:17] <FusE> notepad opens :)
[11:18] <frogzoo> FusE: now run 'winecfg' & setup your paths etc.
[11:18] <helpmeee> can someone help me with a problem?  pleaseeee <3
[11:18] <frogzoo> helpmeee: we don't know
[11:18] <Seveas> !someone > helpmeee

[11:20] <Seveas> FusE?
[11:20] <helpmeee> I have a sound problem in quake.. it laggs every 2 or 3 seconds for anything in quake3.. anyone know how to fix it?
[11:20] <FusE> I have two hard disks, Windows on one, Linux on the other. But grub doesnt come up, the windows loader does
[11:20] <FusE> how do I set it so grub does
[11:20] <Seveas> !grub > FusE
[11:20] <FusE> What does that mean!
[11:20] <FusE> lol
[11:21] <ardchoille> lol
[11:21] <Seveas> FusE, it means that ubotu has now sent you a message
[11:21] <Stroganoff> no one got a clue with my proftpd-upload-problem?
[11:22] <FusE> How do I write GRUB to the MBR
[11:22] <Enverex> Is there a list anywhere of the latest things added to Synaptic?
[11:22] <FusE> Or so that Grub shows up on the Windows BootLoader
[11:22] <Thijs> hey all. 'sup?
[11:22] <Toma-> !grub
[11:22] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[11:23] <Toma-> FusE, read that ^^
[11:23] <ardchoille> Enverex: When you open synaptic and hit the reload button, usually there will be a new entry like "New in repositories"
[11:23] <FusE> Toma..... read that...
[11:24] <helpmeee> I have a sound problem in quake3.. it laggs every 2 or 3 seconds for anything in quake3 :( anyone know how to fix this?
[11:24] <Toma-> FusE, yes. read it. goto the link, and read the article. once you have the knowledge, fix your problem.
[11:24] <Enverex> ardchoille, erm, where will that new entry be?
[11:25] <ardchoille> Enverex: Hit the Status button at the bottom and it will be in with the Install, Not Installed, stuff
[11:26] <Enverex> ardchoille, Only has All, Installed, Installed (local or obsolete), Not Installed, Not Installed (residual config)
[11:27] <Cosly> Has anyone have experiance installing VMWare on Ubuntu ?
[11:27] <Thijs> :)
[11:27] <larson9999> hello, i asked this in #kubuntu a while ago and got no response so i figured i'd try here.
[11:27] <ardchoille> Enverex: Yes, that is the right sectin.. on mine it shows up there *if* there are new apps in the repos
[11:27] <larson9999> can someone point me to a doc that explains how flash drives work in kubuntu?  mine automount just fine and i have read/write access.  but there is no entry in fstab like there was in mandriva so i'd like to read about how they work.  also, someone on a mailing list i belong to is asking about the fstab entry.  i looked at mine but didn't have any :)
[11:27] <Cosly> Hello Thijs, god to see you here
[11:27] <l33t> hello
[11:27] <dcnstrct> hey, I would like to install opera 9 via synaptic.. is this possible ? I don't see it listed.  What do I need to do ? thanks
[11:27] <telmich> larson9999: read the documents about automounter
[11:27] <Enverex> ardchoille, Ah, erm, I kinda want a list of stuff like, added by date though... heh
[11:28] <larson9999> thanks telmich
[11:28] <Seveas> larson9999, ubuntu uses pmount for removable things
[11:28] <Seveas> not automounter
[11:28] <larson9999> Seveas: ok
[11:29] <l33t> hello?
[11:29] <telmich> Seveas: oh, sorry, was not really up2date :)
[11:29] <Toma-> how can you find out a version of a module? (modinfo didnt work)
[11:29] <FusE> Toma
[11:29] <FusE> that doesnt really help
[11:30] <FusE> Im on linux right now
[11:30] <Toma-> FusE, print it out
[11:30] <FusE> and thats talking about while on LiveCD
[11:30] <Toma-> ??
[11:30] <FusE> Print what out?
[11:30] <Toma-> FusE, the live cd is linux...
[11:30] <l33t> wtf?
[11:30] <dcnstrct> could someone give me a tip, I need to know if it's possible to install opera 9 from synaptic.  thanks
[11:30] <FusE> Toma, will this still preserve the bootloader?
[11:30] <l33t> well
[11:30] <Toma-> l33t, wh4t?
[11:31] <l33t> if Opera 9 is not listed in Synaptic, I dont think it's possible
[11:31] <Bergcube> l33t~  If you have a question or problem, just describe it.
[11:31] <Toma-> FusE, yep
[11:31] <Toma-> i gtg sorry
[11:31] <FusE> ugh
[11:31] <l33t> lol

[11:32] <FusE> What does that do^^?
[11:32] <l33t> dcnstrct
[11:32] <dcnstrct> hai
[11:32] <dcnstrct> thanks for telling me that it won't work
[11:33] <dcnstrct> so I don't waste my time
[11:33] <l33t> np
[11:33] <l33t> but
[11:33] <l33t> you dont know how to manually do it?
[11:33] <dcnstrct> negative, I assume I'm going to have to use apt-get
[11:33] <FusE> SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE
[11:33] <l33t> k
[11:33] <dcnstrct> and probably modify some file
[11:33] <FusE> What does this do?
[11:33] <l33t> yeah
[11:33] <FusE> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows#head-3a896b43d621c1410ab4281ba25857b2e6720b5c
[11:33] <l33t> it's https
[11:33] <l33t> so it's secure
[11:33] <FusE> Big deal?
[11:33] <Enverex> Is there a list anywhere with the packages that are in synaptic in released date order?
[11:34] <l33t> wtf
[11:34] <l33t> I'm not offical support, by the way
[11:34] <FusE> Im so tired ...
[11:35] <l33t> why are you asking what that link does?
[11:35] <l33t> copy and paste it into your browser
[11:35] <FusE> Not what the link does
[11:35] <FusE> but what the stuff in the link
[11:35] <ardchoille> FusE: It explains what it does under "Using the Ubuntu Install CD"
[11:35] <FusE> ardchoille
[11:35] <FusE> 1. Boot from a Live CD, like Ubuntu Live, Knoppix, Mepis, or similar.
[11:35] <FusE> 2. Open a Terminal. Go SuperUser (that is, type "su" in a non-Ubuntu distro, or "sudo -i" in Ubuntu). Enter root passwords as necessary.
[11:35] <FusE> 3. Type "grub" which makes a GRUB prompt appear.
[11:35] <FusE> 4. Type "find /boot/grub/stage1". You'll get a response like "(hd0)" or in my case "(hd0,3)". Use whatever your computer spits out for the following lines.
[11:35] <FusE> 5. Type "root (hd0,3)".
[11:35] <FusE> 6. Type "setup (hd0,3)". This is key. Other instructions say to use "(hd0)", and that's fine if you want to write GRUB to the MBR. If you want to write it to your linux root partition, then you want the number after the comma, such as "(hd0,3)".
[11:35] <FusE> 7. Type "quit".
[11:35] <FusE> What does that do exactly?
[11:35] <l33t> sudo bash!
[11:35] <l33t> hmmm...
[11:36] <l33t> I guess that is to set up Grub
[11:36] <FusE> l33t
[11:36] <l33t> to configure it to recognize Linux?
[11:36] <FusE> I know it sets up grub
[11:36] <FusE> But does it overwrite the MBR
[11:36] <FusE> Does it work with the Windows bootloader?
[11:36] <l33t> no
[11:36] <l33t> Grub takes over
[11:36] <FusE> what does it do
[11:36] <Subhuman> FusE, it adds windows to the grub menu
[11:36] <Subhuman> so you van still boot into windows
[11:37] <FusE> subhuman
[11:37] <FusE> Windows is on my grub menu
[11:37] <ardchoille> Wowsers, the more I read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ the more I realise how much work has gone into it :)
[11:37] <FusE> but to get to my grub menu
[11:37] <FusE> I have to boot differently from Bio
[11:37] <l33t> what the hell
[11:37] <l33t> why is that in https?
[11:37] <FusE> I have a entry in the Windows bootloader dedicated to linux
[11:37] <Subhuman> the wiki is secure?
[11:37] <FusE> buttt....
[11:37] <FusE> yeah
[11:37] <FusE> Subhuman
[11:37] <FusE> do you know that comand
[11:37] <FusE> it starts like dd
[11:37] <FusE> and it has of=
[11:37] <FusE> and bs=512
[11:37] <FusE> count=1
[11:37] <FusE> I cant remember it
[11:38] <Subhuman> no ive never chainloaded grub onto the windows mbr.
[11:38] <Subhuman> i dont actrually use grub either.
[11:38] <Subhuman> but w.e
[11:38] <FusE> Im so tired......
[11:38] <Subhuman> GAG FTW :D
[11:38] <l33t> that would be weird putting Grub on the MBR like that
[11:38] <l33t> I uninstalled Ubuntu and Grub wouldnt load for me
[11:38] <l33t> I was f'ed
[11:38] <FusE> aha
[11:38] <FusE> dd if=/dev/hdb of=mbr.save bs=512 count=1
[11:38] <l33t> FIXMBR owns
[11:39] <kintaro0e> has anyone tried installing jxplorer?
[11:39] <Enverex> OH MY GOD
[11:39] <l33t> ?
[11:40] <Subhuman> 133t thats because grub is stored in /boot
[11:40] <l33t> well yes
[11:40] <l33t> it just scared the f' outta me
[11:40] <Subhuman> so unless you make /boot a separate partition, deleteing the / partiton fucks grub
[11:40] <Enverex> I'm on an Athlon64 X2 and for over a week I've been using the standard i386 kernel (not SMP) so not only have I been using an inferior kernel, I've only been using half of my processing power >.<
[11:40] <Subhuman> thats why i use GAH
[11:40] <Subhuman> GAG*
[11:40] <l33t> well Grub sucks
[11:41] <Subhuman> totally stored in the mbr
[11:41] <Subhuman> and easy to set up
[11:41] <l33t> Grub SUCKS
[11:41] <ardchoille> Can we keep this channel family friendly please. Watch the language.
[11:41] <selinuxium> Enverex: How is x2 support in ubuntu?
[11:41] <l33t> no one swore
[11:41] <Subhuman> yea
[11:42] <Subhuman> meh w.e
[11:42] <whadar> i worked on text file using gedit... and it got deleted :( is there a way to find it on the gedit cache or something?
[11:42] <stefg> l33t, what about understanding concepts before getting angry (because you didn't)
[11:42] <Enverex> selinuxium, Erm, no idea, I've been running i386 non SMP kernel, lol. I'm also running 32bit not 64, there are too many apps that don't work on 64 yet
[11:42] <ironfroggy> im trying to install lilo (grub has never worked on this partiticular box) and i got an error when it tried to write the MBR. is there a known reason for that?
[11:42] <l33t> too bad 64 bit has virtually no app support
[11:43] <ardchoille> whadar: You can look in the Trash, but if it was really deleted, then it's gone.
[11:43] <l33t> yeah
[11:43] <l33t> it's not like Windows
[11:43] <l33t> once you delete it from Trash, it's gone
[11:43] <selinuxium> Enverex: You can run 32 bit apps within a 32 bit chroot on a 64bit machine. Or so I am lead to believe...
[11:43] <whadar> i know... i didnt delete it... i used gzip... what an unfriendly tool
[11:44] <l33t> yeah
[11:44] <l33t> Linux is for geeks, but it's getting better
[11:44] <ironfroggy> can i write to the MBA on a mounted drive?
[11:44] <Enverex> selinuxium, Sure, but chroot's suck donkey balls, so I'm just going to run 32bit, heh
[11:44] <stefg> ironfroggy: the only reason for grub not working properly is if the BIOS is telling nonsense about the C/H/S geometry of the harddisk. Have you updated your BIOS recently?
[11:44] <whadar> it is really not clear how to gzip a folder...
[11:44] <Enverex> I assume "linux-k7-smp" is the best option for an Athlon64 x2 running in 32bit...
[11:45] <l33t> i686 owns
[11:45] <ironfroggy> stefg: nope
[11:45] <selinuxium> Enverex: According to 'The Fridge' The next flavour of Ubuntu should support both natively...
[11:45] <Bergcube> l33t~  Linux is for people who use computers.  My wife is very un-geeky, nonetheless she's very happy with Ubuntu and prefers it over the redmond altternative os.
[11:45] <l33t> yeah
[11:45] <Enverex> selinuxium, Yes,  I heard about that which will be nice
[11:45] <ironfroggy> stefg: but i had lilo installed on here already before i tried to install ubuntu
[11:45] <l33t> but Ubuntu can be different to a Windows user
[11:45] <l33t> it's not as easy
[11:46] <ardchoille> I have a 7 year old niece who installed Ubuntu all by herself and she uses it as her default OS.
[11:46] <FusE> Subhuman
[11:46] <Enverex> It was easier on my PC, heh
[11:46] <FusE> or ardchoille
[11:46] <frogzoo> l33t: it is as easy - just people forget they've been learning windows for years
[11:46] <l33t> Ubuntu is a pretty easy distro
[11:46] <Bergcube> l33t~  Not completely the same does not equal harder.
[11:46] <FusE> How do I access some of my windows files?
[11:46] <Enverex> ardchoille, pff, I was hacking Amigas at 6
[11:46] <l33t> Ubuntu is actually pretty good
[11:46] <Subhuman> yea FusE ?
[11:46] <FusE> How do I access some of my windows files?
[11:46] <l33t> hmm
[11:46] <Boglizk> How do you unzip a bz2-file?
[11:46] <Subhuman> umm well ntfs is read only atm
[11:46] <l33t> you need to mount the drive
[11:46] <l33t> mount the drive
[11:46] <FusE> Subhuman
[11:46] <FusE> I dont need to write to it
[11:46] <l33t> I got it
[11:46] <stefg> ironfroggy: chances are that if the BIOS is buggy, neither lilo nor grub have a chance of finfing a kernel. I'd look for the newest BIOS for the box, flash it, make sure that LBA is set for large disks amd try grub again.
[11:46] <FusE> I need to get some of my mirc logs
[11:46] <l33t> open termina;
[11:46] <FusE> for a command
[11:46] <l33t> open terminal
[11:46] <frogzoo> !ntfs

[11:47] <Subhuman> FusE,  do "sudo mkdir mount/win && sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /media/win"
[11:47] <l33t> but, change hda1 to the location of Windows on your HDD
[11:47] <ironfroggy> stefg: any idea if things like random boot ups having all system LEDs solid could be related? im sure its a bios message, but i dont know what it means.
[11:47] <FusE> Subhuman, can not create directory, no such file or directory
[11:47] <l33t> lol
[11:48] <l33t> change hda1 to what it is on your HD
[11:48] <FusE> which hd
[11:48] <l33t> hda1 is default, it may not be correct
[11:48] <FusE> im tired
[11:48] <Subhuman> FusE, "sudo mkdir /mount/win && sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /media/win"
[11:48] <Subhuman> sorry.,

[11:48] <orbin> Boglizk: use bzip2 :P
[11:48] <Subhuman> FusE, then do "gksudo nautilus" and navigate to /mount/win and there you are
[11:48] <stefg> ironfroggy: at least it's strange enough to indicate that there's something broken on the lowest level.. ACPI7APM-controller getting crazy, odd settings, broken hardware, maybe?
[11:49] <Enverex> Is "linux-k7-smp" the best option for an Athlon64 x2 running in 32bit? (as there is no K8 option)
[11:49] <ironfroggy> is there a tool to create a boot floppy that will skip the MBA? i never used the floppy. i dont mind keeping a boot disc in there.
[11:49] <l33t> why not go to places and click on computer?

[11:50] <FusE> alright
[11:50] <Subhuman> ^ FusE  :D
[11:50] <FusE> you all fight over the command
[11:50] <FusE> and someone tell me :)
[11:50] <l33t> listen
[11:50] <Subhuman> FusE, mine was wrong

[11:51] <FusE> Can someone just straight up give me the command :)
[11:51] <l33t> I did
[11:51] <FusE> paste again

[11:51] <l33t> ok
[11:51] <l33t> now listen
[11:51] <FusE> ardchoille, Im young
[11:51] <l33t> assuming hda1 is Windows, this will work
[11:52] <FusE> hda1 isnt windows
[11:52] <l33t> if hda1 is not Windows, it wont work right

[11:52] <FusE> that was origianlly
[11:52] <FusE> it says
[11:52] <whadar> how can i gz a folder simply???
[11:53] <FusE> mount: /dev/sda already mounted or /media/windows/ busy
[11:53] <l33t> sudo mkdir /media/windows
[11:53] <l33t> sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/windows/ -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222
[11:53] <kouwe> when i use the CD from ubuntu 6.06 and format the drive to ext3 (sata) it hangs always around the 15% what am i doing wrong??
[11:53] <theoverload> hi all
[11:53] <stefg> whadar: man gzip will you, it' so dead simple i don't dare to tell you here :-)
[11:53] <theoverload> kann mir einer mit ubuntu helfen
[11:53] <someothernick> FusE, http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountwindows.php <-- better guide
[11:53] <mk1990> hello guys
[11:54] <whadar> stefg: gzip -c -r causes many problems!
[11:54] <l33t> lol
[11:54] <mk1990> i have an issue
[11:54] <l33t> oh
[11:54] <l33t> we aint physchiatrists, sorry
[11:54] <l33t> ;)
[11:54] <Enverex> kouwe, Are you sure the drive isn't damaged?
[11:54] <someothernick> lol
[11:54] <l33t> psychiatrists?
[11:54] <l33t> hmm
[11:54] <kouwe> nope, its an undamaged drive btw its on a Toshiba Centrino laptop...
[11:54] <Enverex> Right, now to switch to the K7-SMP kernel from the i386 kernel. This should give me a big speed boost, lol.
[11:54] <mk1990> when ever i try to instal Ubuntu 6.06
[11:55] <mk1990> it says mounting drives and stays there
[11:55] <Enverex> kouwe, Try formatting to reiserfs or something
[11:55] <frogzoo> whadar: tar zcf tarfile.tgz .
[11:55] <Subhuman> Enverex, not huge, but noticeable yes
[11:55] <stefg> l33t: please stop enter-spam... i think i'm not the only one annoyed by it
[11:55] <kouwe> Enverex, ok ill try that!
[11:55] <kouwe> could that be a solution?
[11:55] <ardchoille> stefg: You're not
[11:55] <Enverex> Subhuman, I'm going from non-SMP to SMP and optimised, I think that may be substancial, heh
[11:55] <l33t> I am not spamming
[11:55] <kouwe> btw, should i use on a laptop some special boot options... nolapic or something?
[11:56] <mk1990> it said mounting drives... and nothing happenes
[11:56] <ardchoille> l33t: Please form full sentences instead of taking up so many lines.
[11:56] <l33t> when I copy and paste it, it shows it like that
[11:56] <bastl> hi, im working on a customized Xubuntu LiveCD. I would like to change default language and some desktop settings (desktop wallpaper, immediate startup of firefox to a spcific URL) of the "ubuntu" user. can anyone help me out? where do i edit such things?
[11:56] <l33t> good question
[11:56] <whadar> frogzoo: i need .gz... i'll use some hack...
[11:56] <Enverex> back in a few
[11:57] <mk1990> anyone??
[11:57] <whadar> i wish right click -> create archive would also include just .gz
[11:57] <l33t> bsdtl
[11:57] <l33t> bastl
[11:57] <l33t> maybe you could find it in about:config?
[11:57] <gregg__> http://www.killernic.com/KillerNic/PDFs/KillerNic_TechSpecsHi.pdf
[11:58] <frogzoo> whadar: you can't gzip a directory - it's that simple
[11:58] <l33t> hmm
[11:58] <l33t> I found an entry
[11:58] <stefg> whadar: gzip only compresses /single/ files... that's why /tar.gz/ is used for multi-file archives
[11:58] <ironfroggy> is there a grub command to look at what is installed at the MBA currently?
[11:58] <l33t> startup.homepage_override_url
[11:58] <FusE> that didnt work someothernick
[11:58] <FusE> I got this
[11:59] <telmich> ironfroggy: no, but you can use dd + xxd to get a hexdump
[11:59] <bastl> l33t: im devolping the LiveCD, not using it.
[11:59] <FusE> mount: /dev/sda1 already mounted or /windows busy
[11:59] <FusE> mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda1 is mounted on /tmp/disks-conf-sda1
[11:59] <ironfroggy> telmich: it wont be understandable tho will it?
[11:59] <l33t> bastl?
[11:59] <telmich> ironfroggy: like dd if=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1 | xxd
[11:59] <ironfroggy> i just want to verify that grub actually worked.
[11:59] <l33t> oh
[11:59] <l33t> I can go in my FF and use about:config
[11:59] <telmich> ironfroggy: well, only if you know what should be there :)
[11:59] <l33t> to change it
[11:59] <ardchoille> l33t: Please form full sentences instead of taking up so many lines.
[11:59] <someothernick> FusE, unmount the drive
[11:59] <FusE> how :)
[12:00] <FusE> sudo umount /media/sda1?
[12:00] <l33t> no
[12:00] <l33t> sudo umount /media/windows/
[12:00] <FusE> umount: /media/windows: not mounted
[12:00] <ironfroggy> well, is it bad if i see both LILO and GRUB in the first block of the drive?
[12:00] <mk1990> so anyone got a solution to mounting drive?
[12:00] <telmich> ironfroggy: they can't be both there
[12:01] <ironfroggy> telmich: i just see both strings in the block
[12:01] <dcnstrct> why is Ruby in main but irb in universe ?
[12:01] <telmich> ironfroggy: don't care, if your bootloader works
[12:01] <brutopia> what's irb
[12:01] <dcnstrct> irb should be packaged together with Ruby anyway
[12:01] <ironfroggy> telmich: the second is within "GRUB .Geom.Hard Disk.Read. Error."
[12:01] <dcnstrct> it's the interactive ruby prompt
[12:01] <bastl> Anyone ideas how to to customize the desktop settings on a home-brewn LiveCD?
[12:01] <ironfroggy> telmich: it doesnt work.
[12:01] <telmich> ironfroggy: reinstall grub then
[12:02] <ironfroggy> telmich: thats why im trying to verify grub is successfully installing or not.
[12:02] <Enverex> When Edgy comes out, is it going to have seperate 32bit and 64bit versions or is it going to be integrated into one?
[12:02] <ironfroggy> telmich: done it several times.
[12:02] <telmich> ironfroggy: how?
[12:02] <dcnstrct> whoever designed the packages for Ruby in ubuntu really screwed up imho
[12:02] <l33t> sweet
[12:02] <l33t> FF got pwned
[12:02] <ironfroggy> telmich: reran the install and did it manually
[12:02] <l33t> about:config has an override setting
[12:02] <l33t> you have to change both settings for the new homepage to work
[12:03] <bastl> l33t: STFU
[12:03] <l33t> wtf?
[12:03] <l33t> what?

[12:04] <stefg> !noob
[12:04] <ubotu> Words like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period.
[12:04] <telmich> ironfroggy: provide more details, what you typed
[12:04] <ardchoille> steqThank you
[12:04] <elkbuntu> l33t, your talking about FF should be in #ubuntu-offtopic. It's not specifically Ubuntu related.
[12:04] <l33t> but someone asked how to change it
[12:05] <kouwe> i now have the live-CD in my laptop, and used gparted to format the drive to reiserfs
[12:05] <bastl> l33t: i am creating a customized LiveCD. i can change my FF Homepage my self, bzut it should be as i want it, when i boot!
[12:05] <elkbuntu> l33t, they asked you to talk about FF being pwned?
[12:05] <kouwe> but then it hangs on 15% :x
[12:05] <ironfroggy> 'grub-install /dev/hda'
[12:05] <kouwe> someone?
[12:05] <l33t> ;)
[12:05] <FusE> woot
[12:05] <FusE> !FusE > l33t
[12:05] <l33t> Ubuntu FF doesn't want the homepahe to be changed
[12:05] <Subhuman> bastl, jus make a session that starts on bootup
[12:05] <Subhuman> and then put "firefox www.whatefveryouwant.com" in it.
[12:05] <stefg> kouwe: how big is the frive?
[12:05] <FusE> Subhuman
[12:06] <stefg> *drive
[12:06] <FusE> Can I play games when its mounted like this?
[12:06] <selinuxium> what has happened to hotplug under Dapper?
[12:06] <elkbuntu> FusE, please behave. if you're going to talk in here, dont just spurt random junk every now and then.
[12:06] <l33t> yeah, no spam
[12:06] <l33t> stupid, pointless, annoying, messages
[12:06] <elkbuntu> FusE, #ubuntu-offtopic is for spurting random junk.
[12:06] <Subhuman> FusE, no.
[12:06] <l33t> lol
[12:06] <l33t> is that a joke FuSE?
[12:06] <primal> hello all
[12:06] <kouwe> stefg, the drive is 80 GB 3 for my swap
[12:06] <l33t> the architecture is not the same
[12:06] <kouwe> 77 for reiserfs
[12:06] <l33t> thats why there is WINE
[12:06] <ardchoille> l33t: #ubuntu-offtopic is for spurting random junk.
[12:07] <bastl> subhuman: sorry: but how do i start a session at boot up? in /etc/init.d ?
[12:07] <l33t> I didnt spurt junk, I was responding to him
[12:07] <primal> will someone kindly tell me what the command is for restarting x?
[12:07] <Subhuman> bastl, this is Xubuntu so i dont know how to in fbox
[12:07] <jksd> can linux support ASP?
[12:07] <NthDegree> primal ctrl+alt+backspace
[12:07] <Enverex> If you want to (try) and play Windows games and use Windows programs from inside Ubuntu look at http://www.winehq.org
[12:07] <Subhuman> try asking in #xubuntu
[12:07] <ardchoille> primal: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[12:07] <stefg> kouwe: are 100% positive that parted hangs, or might it just take it's time for doing things like fsck
[12:07] <elkbuntu> ardchoille, l33t isnt spurting, he's just not putting it all on a single line, which makes it look spurty
[12:07] <l33t> ASP.NET is specifically for Windows
[12:07] <Seveas> l33t, mono can run asp.net too
[12:08] <kouwe> stefg, it really hangs nothing responds and i waited before for a hour and nothing happened
[12:08] <FusE> elbuntu
[12:08] <NthDegree> but the mono implementation is not complete is it?
[12:08] <FusE> That was ontopic.
[12:08] <primal> that works if i'm at the command prompt in recovery mode?
[12:08] <jksd> l33t: OK thanks
[12:08] <king> MY Ubuntu 5.10 is not upgrading itself to the latest ubuntu! I want dapper but the automatic updater wont find it. WHAT can I do??? I Really want to ditch Win XP and start to use linux.... <-----------------------
[12:08] <FusE> I asked a question, I wanted to know if you could play games...
[12:08] <stefg> kouwe: Ok... :-( can you open a terminal?
[12:08] <l33t> wait
[12:08] <Enverex> primal, /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[12:08] <l33t> FusE
[12:08] <frogzoo> bastl: on gnome - sys -> admin -> login window -> security -> automatic login
[12:08] <kouwe> stefg, i should reboot from the liveCD
[12:08] <l33t> Windows apps can't run natively on Linux
[12:08] <l33t> you need WINE
[12:09] <NthDegree> king there is no auto-update to dapper, you change the repositories to dapper ones then run apt-get dist-upgrade
[12:09] <FusE> I have wine
[12:09] <primal> thank you, Enverex
[12:09] <Seveas> !upgrade > king
[12:09] <Enverex> You can play games, just not Windows games, not natively anyway, heh
[12:09] <Seveas> NthDegree, nonsense, update-manager does that automagically
[12:09] <Bloodcky> tell me the command for installing KDE on ubuntu... :)
[12:09] <stefg> kouwe: we should make sure first thath your partition-table is intact
[12:09] <Bloodcky> >P
[12:09] <l33t> ReactOS is quite nice for Windows on Linux
[12:09] <l33t> in a sense
[12:09] <king> NthDegree: How can I get Dapper reposities?
[12:09] <frogzoo> !appdb > FusE
[12:09] <Seveas> Bloodcky, apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[12:09] <kouwe> stefg, what command should i use for checking that?
[12:09] <Bloodcky> yea tnx
[12:09] <NthDegree> king listen to Seveas he knows more than me and obviously knows an easier way
[12:10] <Seveas> king, ubotu sent you a message. please read it
[12:10] <mjr> l33t, not really; you'd need a VM to run it...
[12:10] <stefg> kouwe: sudo fdisk -l
[12:10] <aquafina> Hi. I installed ubuntu 6.06 but Firefox gives me a XML parse error when i download some tgz files
[12:10] <kouwe> ok ok, moment live CD is booting
[12:10] <l33t> I dont mean running Windows in Linux
[12:10] <l33t> I mean support for Windows apps
[12:10] <l33t> ReactOS
[12:10] <aquafina> And can someone point me to a post-install page - which tells howto install additional packages?
[12:10] <tcv> 'morning
[12:10] <l33t> plus, VM doesnt make Windows run in Ubuntu
[12:10] <Subhuman> aquafina, !apt
[12:10] <Subhuman> !apt
[12:10] <ubotu> apt is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AptGetHowto  -  Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[12:11] <Bloodcky> lucky@lucky-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[12:11] <Bloodcky> Reading package lists... Done
[12:11] <Bloodcky> Building dependency tree... Done
[12:11] <Bloodcky> E: Couldn't find package kubuntu-desktop
[12:11] <Bloodcky> yea?
[12:11] <Subhuman> aquafina, synaptic is prob your best bet.
[12:11] <tcv> (or ev'nin' or afternooon)
[12:11] <stefg> !easyubuntu > aquafina
[12:11] <Seveas> Bloodcky, your /etc/apt/sources.list is very broken
[12:11] <king> NthDegree, Seveas: I have read wikipages, I think I have tryed everything. Im not just getting the update :(
[12:11] <NthDegree> it does too l33t, VMs (Virtual Machines) allow you to run windows inside ubuntu :)
[12:11] <l33t> inside?
[12:11] <Seveas> Bloodcky, put that file on the pastebin
[12:11] <Bloodcky> where? lol
[12:11] <l33t> I thought it's like having 2 OS running at the same time but you have to be in 1 or the other
[12:11] <ompaul> !paste > Bloodcky
[12:11] <NthDegree> king then do the hard way, open up /etc/apt/sources.list and replace all the words breezy with dapper
[12:12] <ikon> nearly inside. VMware runs ON linux, Inside VMware runs WIN32
[12:12] <brutopia> l33t: topmost os emulates hardware for inside os
[12:12] <stefg> !easysource
[12:12] <NthDegree> king then run apt-get update then apt-get dist-upgrade
[12:12] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[12:12] <kouwe> stefg, can i pm you?
[12:12] <l33t> hmm
[12:12] <king> NthDegree: COOL thanks! Will try that
[12:12] <stefg> kouwe: most support is in public interest...
[12:12] <l33t> hey
[12:12] <brutopia> you "are" always in ubuntu when running windows in vmware
[12:12] <kouwe> ok ok :D
[12:12] <ikon> yes VMware simulates, and also connects to HW
[12:12] <ikon> yesyes
[12:12] <l33t> I've never used VMWare
[12:12] <kouwe> stefg, now doing fdisk -l
[12:12] <l33t> just heard about it
[12:12] <ikon> always inside ubuntu
[12:13] <NthDegree> VMWare Server is free l33t and runs an OS inside an OS
[12:13] <l33t> wtf?
[12:13] <l33t> I know what VMWare does
[12:13] <ikon> server is not what u need
[12:13] <brutopia> l33t: you shouldn't make statements if you have no idea what you are talking about
[12:13] <stefg> kouwe: so does it give any sensible resukt?
[12:13] <l33t> I knew what VMWare does, just not how exactly
[12:13] <Enverex> VMWare can't run games though, well, it has very rough beta 3D support but don't expect to play WoW or anything else in it, heh
[12:13] <l33t> I am l33t, come on
[12:13] <l33t> 1337
[12:13] <kouwe> stefg, it got 3 things, /dev/sda1+2+5
[12:13] <NthDegree> ikon, it is if you want it free and you want to create and run VMs
[12:13] <kouwe> linux, extended and swap
[12:13] <aquafina> stefg: more like it :) installing the stuff now :)
[12:14] <ikon> I can run OpenGL games like Starcraft neatly in wmvare :)
[12:14] <NthDegree> Server can create and run VMs, but requires that xinetd to be tuned to avoid being hacked
[12:14] <ikon> only excluding directx apps
[12:14] <dcnstrct> ikon, SC runs well in VMware ?!?! are you serious ?
[12:14] <stefg> kouwe: so it seems that although the gui part hanged, the partitioning went alright
[12:14] <Guard] [an> hello, what command to run in order to update config.guess ??? configure says it's too old (2005-08-03) ???
[12:14] <ikon> YES serious :)))
[12:14] <Enverex> dcnstrct, It runs perfectly in Wine anyway
[12:14] <ikon> i play daily
[12:15] <kouwe> stefg, yeah it seems correct....
[12:15] <ikon> also wmvare is not free if u need one free
[12:15] <NthDegree> ikon it is free, read the VMWare Server FAQ
[12:15] <dcnstrct> so no biggie
[12:15] <Enverex> VMWare requires you to fully install Windows and all other programs where as Wine just pretends to be Windows
[12:15] <brutopia> I've heard that cedega is quite good for windows gaming in linux
[12:15] <l33t> WINE is not an emulator
[12:15] <ikon> that is when u have a preconfigured win OS to PLAY
[12:15] <l33t> in fact, WINE stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator
[12:15] <ikon> I have to install my win xp first
[12:15] <someothernick> !wine
[12:15] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[12:15] <Enverex> l33t, no-one said it was, stop spouting crap
[12:16] <ikon> thats not free, it needs workstation app
[12:16] <Enverex> So things run a lot faster in Wine than VMWare
[12:16] <stefg> kouwe: so your ready to install, it seems. But if you can afford the bandwith i'd rather get the 'alternate' (text-mode install)-CD...
[12:16] <kouwe> isnt that on the DVD ?
[12:16] <Dimensions> hi i am installing ubuntu on my two three systems but i get this error when i boot it from the cd before it can install ubuntu " invalid compressed format(err:1 ) kernel panic not syncing VFS unable to mount root fs on unknown block (1,0) .......... ???? ane one can help plz
[12:16] <l33t> they have a DVD for Ubuntu and Kubuntu with more packages
[12:16] <kouwe> i got the dvd of drake here to
[12:16] <aquafina> stefg: there is a text mode install cd image? can you point out the URL?
[12:16] <NthDegree> brutopia, it works but I have used both and every game cedega played, WINE played just as good and sometimes better
[12:16] <Enverex> You also have to pay for Cedega and they tend to flat out lie aswell
[12:16] <jksd> isn't there such a thing as Apache ASP for linux?
[12:16] <stefg> !download
[12:16] <ubotu> Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive
[12:17] <l33t> the DVD just has more packages than the CD
[12:17] <ardchoille> aquafina: The Alternate CD has a text-mode installer
[12:17] <aquafina> stefg: thanks.
[12:17] <NthDegree> l33t, the DVD allows you to install if you don't know what arch your PC is
[12:17] <l33t> but the DVD has extra packages the CD doesn't
[12:17] <aquafina> ardchoille: ahhh. i would have liked that.. i didnt quite like this one which booted to a live CD and then wanted to install :)
[12:17] <l33t> how can you use a PC and not know the architecture?
[12:17] <aquafina> it took more time too!
[12:17] <jksd> l33t: isn't there such a thing as Apache ASP for linux?
[12:17] <bilss_> hi
[12:18] <l33t> maybe
[12:18] <aquafina> jksd: chilisoft asp
[12:18] <l33t> I am not sure
[12:18] <NthDegree> jksd, apache was made for linux :)
[12:18] <stefg> !lamp
[12:18] <Enverex> jksd, ASP is MS proprietory, so I wouldn't expect too much
[12:18] <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
[12:18] <aquafina> jksd: it is not free. it is an addon to be used with Apache
[12:18] <primal> Enverex, i have another question for you...
[12:18] <primal> well nevermind
[12:18] <Enverex> hmm
[12:18] <kouwe> stefg, now booting from the DVD in text-mode....
[12:18] <NthDegree> mod_mono allows you to use ASP on Apache I think
[12:19] <bilss_> anybody understand perl
[12:19] <l33t> how would someone not know their architecture?
[12:19] <NthDegree> l33t ubuntu is mainly for newbies
[12:19] <Kaja> Everything is possible.
[12:19] <stefg> kouwe: so you use another box to chat?
[12:19] <Enverex> But yeah, if you want to play or use Windows stuff on Linux, use WINE (VMware needs a copy of Windows and all the space to install it and Cedega you have to pay for)
[12:19] <kouwe> yes this is on my normal computer :)
[12:19] <NthDegree> the DVD has the same packages the CDs have AFAIK but in all of the main architectures
[12:19] <l33t> I know, but knowing your architecture is just knowing what you are using
[12:19] <Dimensions> ane one can answer me plz ?
[12:19] <bilss_> about 45%
[12:19] <Enverex> Is anyone here interested in E-UAE for Ubuntu?
[12:20] <ikon> re
[12:20] <ikon> whats E-UAE?
[12:20] <mejobloggs> Anyone know how i can improve performance of ubuntu under VMWare Player?
[12:20] <NthDegree> Dimensions, I get that with some distros and usually when I compile my own kernel - it is usually down to bad support for your hard-disk
[12:20] <kouwe> stefg, should i do something special before formatting?
[12:20] <Shadowpillar> question, anyone here use a realtek 8201 chip?
[12:21] <m0gsi> Hey guys what is the best kernel for a 800mhz Athlon on xubuntu
[12:21] <stefg> mejobloggs: faster CPU, more RAm, faster hardrive :-)
[12:21] <ikon> LOL
[12:21] <l33t> i386 man
[12:21] <mejobloggs> heh, yeah, but apart from that
[12:21] <Dimensions> NthDegree:  but what i should do ? bcoz the hdd on which i had installed they were the same like this one ... and i get this message for a brand new hdd aswell ?
[12:21] <NthDegree> mejobloggs, VMWare Player? VMWare Server is *FREE* and does the same as VMWare Player and more (it can create VMs too)
[12:21] <bilss_> ompual: how you doin?, fine i hope
[12:21] <m0gsi> l33t isn't there anything better for that :P ?
[12:21] <mejobloggs> I thought VMWare server was for servers?
[12:21] <ikon> NthDegree: does Serrver create VM-s????
[12:22] <stefg> kouwe: no, but i'd recommend to go for manual partitoning and mount-point definition
[12:22] <NthDegree> mejobloggs, VMWare Player can only PLAY VMs
[12:22] <m0gsi> Obviously ikon :P
[12:22] <ikon> can us confirm that?
[12:22] <l33t> wait
[12:22] <NthDegree> Server can create them too
[12:22] <kouwe> stefg, ok now there, ill do manually edit partition table
[12:22] <l33t> I am checking it out
[12:22] <Enverex> m0gsi, K7
[12:22] <bilss_> i found vmware workstation to be the best
[12:22] <NthDegree> ikon it can create them
[12:22] <aquafina> kouwe: yeah
[12:22] <ikon> ok, i give it a try at home tonight :)
[12:22] <mejobloggs> http://www.easyvmx.com/ can creat VMWare virtual machines
[12:22] <ikon> i hope u r right
[12:22] <l33t> m0gsi
[12:22] <m0gsi> Enverex so it is new enough for k7?
[12:23] <mejobloggs> I created my virtual machine in like, 5 seconds, then used it on VM Players
[12:23] <NthDegree> mejobloggs, get VMWare Server which can CREATE VMs and is *free*
[12:23] <mejobloggs> how is it better than player?
[12:23] <Enverex> m0gsi, Yeah, Athlons and Athlon-XPs were K7's and Athlon64's are K8s
[12:23] <mejobloggs> Player is like, 20mb, Server is like, 150mb
[12:23] <NthDegree> it can create them itself using the latest VM version
[12:23] <mejobloggs> so?
[12:23] <mejobloggs> http://www.easyvmx.com/
[12:23] <mejobloggs> use that
[12:23] <Enverex> m0gsi, The old K6-2's were... well, K6's, heh
[12:23] <ikon> how is server better than workstation?
[12:23] <m0gsi> yeh l33t?
[12:23] <m0gsi> Thanks Enverex :( this is gonna kill my uptime
[12:23] <NthDegree> ikon, server is free
[12:23] <m0gsi> I had a k6!
[12:23] <l33t> I found the list
[12:23] <Enverex> ikon, E-UAE is currently the best Amiga emulator for Linux
[12:23] <NthDegree> workstation costs
[12:23] <mejobloggs> Player is free, and http://www.easyvmx.com/ is free
[12:23] <ikon> thanks Enverex
[12:24] <mejobloggs> at 1 10th of the download siz
[12:24] <Enverex> ikon, WHY are you installing VMWare?
[12:24] <mejobloggs> esoze
[12:24] <mejobloggs> size
[12:24] <l33t> it's standard Athlon
[12:24] <ikon> to develop in win32 c#
[12:24] <kouwe> darn.... "Warning: file:///cdrom/dists/dapper/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz was corrupt"
[12:24] <NthDegree> mejobloggs, i don't understand you - you make a VM on a 3rd party site that makes them to an older standard
[12:24] <Subhuman> kouwe, dont use your cd then.
[12:24] <Enverex> ikon, Ah, I thought it was for Starcraft or something. Never understoof why people do that
[12:24] <l33t> sudo apt-get install linux-k7
[12:24] <Dimensions> NthDegree: ?
[12:24] <furrykef> Hi, is there any way to make the system beep play through the sound card instead of the PC speaker?
[12:24] <ikon> they wouldnt charge something that would worth it
[12:24] <l33t> that would be what you need
[12:24] <NthDegree> yet VMWare Server is free and makes newer VM versions
[12:24] <mejobloggs> NthDegree: shrug, i hardly know anything
[12:25] <kouwe> !download
[12:25] <ubotu> Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive
[12:25] <ikon> Enverex: i DO use wmvare to be able to bnet in sc, in wine i cannot
[12:25] <l33t> you can download a CD?
[12:25] <mejobloggs> ok, so VMWare server is better? In what ways?
[12:25] <jrib> furrykef: try 'softbeep', that's what it claims to do
[12:25] <l33t> you download an ISO image, not a CD
[12:25] <Enverex> ikon, What version of Wine? As it works perfectly for me
[12:25] <stefg> kouwe: do you have an .iso of the installation medium on the harddisk?
[12:25] <Dimensions>  hi i am installing ubuntu on my two three systems but i get this error when i boot it from the cd before it can install ubuntu " invalid compressed format(err:1 ) kernel panic not syncing VFS unable to mount root fs on unknown block (1,0) .......... ???? ane one can help plz
[12:25] <kouwe> nope not on the laptop harddisk
[12:25] <ikon> Enverex: newest from snyaptic
[12:25] <Enverex> ikon, Synaptic is about half a year or more out of date
[12:25] <ikon> Enverex: i wanna play on MY bnet as i usepvpgn
[12:25] <furrykef> jrib - thanks, trying it now
[12:26] <NthDegree> mejobloggs, it can create VMs, it can allow for snapshots to be made (superior to system restore), it can do a lot of extra optimizations on your VMs etc.
[12:26] <mejobloggs> VMWare server takes more system resources though?
[12:26] <stefg> kouwe: so you're in for a fresh CD... get the alternate image from the mirrors
[12:26] <jrib> Dimensions: did you burn the cd yourself?
[12:26] <stefg> !download
[12:26] <ubotu> Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive
[12:26] <Tommy2k4> resizing a partition in manual partitioner in installer seems to be taking ages
[12:26] <ikon> Enverex: i dont know as i see it uses the latest or 1 revision older than the one can be downloaded officially
[12:26] <Enverex> ikon, Wine is on version 0.9.17 (nearing .18) where as Synaptic only has 0.9.9
[12:26] <l33t> thats not true
[12:26] <NthDegree> mejobloggs, not at all if you use linux as your host OS
[12:26] <l33t> a CD cannot be downloaded
[12:26] <l33t> the ISO image cna
[12:26] <Dimensions> jrib:  the cd has worked before on other systems its fine cd ... besides i have more than one cd
[12:26] <l33t> can
[12:26] <mejobloggs> NthDegree: well I dont :p
[12:26] <furrykef> Hmmm... maybe softbeep requires a reboot
[12:27] <kouwe> stefg, it was a DVD from dapper drake 6.06
[12:27] <kouwe> but i have shipped here some cd from dapper...
[12:27] <NthDegree> mejobloggs, you can still use VMWare Server and it still uses very little resources - it can make your VMs faster
[12:27] <ikon> Enverex:  hmmm, i must have bben missing sy...than sorry, i was wrong about the version
[12:27] <furrykef> Oh wait... you have to use softbeep at the command line?
[12:27] <kouwe> stefg, but on the CD i cant use text-mode right?
[12:27] <stefg> kouwe: but i think the DVD is bad... you already had probs, didn't you?
[12:27] <mejobloggs> NthDegree: Do I need to get the client as well? Or just the server?
[12:27] <Tommy2k4> !partition
[12:27] <ubotu> Disks store lots of data. Partitioning: try gparted or qtparted  - Formatting: see the manpage for mkfs  - Mounting: system -> administration -> disks
[12:27] <kouwe> stefg, yes
[12:27] <NthDegree> mejobloggs, the server includes the console with it
[12:27] <l33t> CD's can store 700MB
[12:27] <Tommy2k4> what partitions do i need when installing
[12:27] <jrib> Dimensions: hmm don't know then
[12:28] <mejobloggs> NthDegree: Can I optimize the Virtual Machine in Server, and then use Player to run it?
[12:28] <kouwe> stefg, should i now use the shipped CD or download a new DVD/CD ?
[12:28] <NthDegree> mejobloggs, you can but Server is better all round if you use it
[12:28] <Enverex> l33t, CDs can store all different amounts. There are even 800MB discs, albiet rare
[12:28] <stefg> kouwe: so be straight, get an alternate-CD and start over. Everything else is a waste of time
[12:28] <mejobloggs> k
[12:28] <l33t> mostly 700MB
[12:28] <l33t> I speak in general
[12:28] <kouwe> ok ok doing that
[12:28] <furrykef> Hmm, I don't know if softbeep is going to work for me...
[12:29] <stefg> kouwe: Oh, you have a ShpIt-CD?
[12:29] <NthDegree> only function Server does not have is the *Experimental* Direct3D support (which hardly anyone knows how to enable)
[12:29] <kouwe> stefg, yes
[12:29] <mejobloggs> NthDegree: also, How would I go about making a 'minimum install' of ubuntu, so I can use a VM Ubuntu to use for web browsing
[12:29] <Subhuman> mejobloggs, do a expert install, and just install "ubuntu-minimal" and w.e else you require.
[12:29] <Enverex> NthDegree, : I could kinda play C&C Generals in it with it though, lol
[12:29] <DaveyJ> anyone know what would be the order to load all plugins when launching xgl/compiz?
[12:29] <stefg> kouwe: you're going to install on the lappie, right? Is the CD-Drive broken, maybe?
[12:29] <Subhuman> mejobloggs, youll need an alternative install d
[12:29] <mejobloggs> Subhuman: cheers
[12:30] <mejobloggs> oh
[12:30] <mejobloggs> k
[12:30] <Subhuman> DaveyJ, makes no difference.
[12:30] <kouwe> stefg, no the CD drive is perfect
[12:30] <d-s-d> hi
[12:30] <kouwe> and yes its on an laptop
[12:30] <DaveyJ> Subhuman: is that so? is there a list for all the plugins? :)
[12:30] <NthDegree> mejobloggs, my advice is ditch windows and use VMWare to run Windows inside ubuntu :)
[12:30] <d-s-d> Is there a console-tool that allows me to hibernate the computer?
[12:30] <mejobloggs> Subhuman: Can i download the iso's with the latest patches?
[12:30] <mejobloggs> NthDegree: not an option :(
[12:30] <NthDegree> why not?
[12:30] <DaveyJ> i mean i have "water" in my command but its not loading at all
[12:31] <mejobloggs> because of my family
[12:31] <Subhuman> mejobloggs, no, you jus have to do an "apt-get upgrade" once u get it.
[12:31] <mejobloggs> and we play direct x games a lot
[12:31] <jrib> furrykef: did you read the usage details?
[12:31] <Subhuman> DaveyJ, water is so sketchy, hardly works on anyt system
[12:31] <stefg> kouwe: then have the laptop perform a media check on the CD/DVD you're installing from. It should be in the boot menu
[12:31] <DaveyJ> ohh thats probably why ;)
[12:31] <NthDegree> rofl mejobloggs you can just get WINE or WineX that can play quite a few of them
[12:31] <jatt> should the installation key of windows work when installing windows as guest operating system on a ubuntu box?
[12:31] <DaveyJ> is there a list out there somewhere that has all the plugins?
[12:31] <furrykef> jrib - I don't see a way to basically make the whole system use softbeep...
[12:31] <kouwe> stefg, ok ill try that. But the cd is working but then hangs on formatting...
[12:32] <Subhuman> jatt, yes it will.
[12:32] <mejobloggs> NthDegree: nah, too much effort. And I want more fps :)
[12:32] <Enverex> NthDegree, It also doesn't play a lot... heh
[12:32] <NthDegree> Enverex, depends on the distro
[12:32] <stefg> kouwe: what Laptop is it (make/model) ?
[12:32] <furrykef> Especially since it doesn't work with SUID/SGID
[12:32] <kouwe> stefg, Toshiba Satellite M70-147 Intel Centrino 1.73Ghz
[12:32] <Enverex> NthDegree, Erm? How does what Wine can play have anything to do with the Distro?
[12:32] <jrib> furrykef: I don't use it but http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/softbeep/ suggests you can set it up using LD_PRELOAD environment variable
[12:33] <stefg> kouwe: ok, that should be well supported
[12:33] <kouwe> indeed
[12:33] <Boglizk> My friend gets a "crc error - system halted" when trying to install Ubuntu
[12:33] <mejobloggs> NthDegree: ok, My main two win programs are rFactor (www.rfactor.net) and Solidworks (CAD). Do you think you could get them going good on linux ?
[12:33] <Boglizk> What does it mean?
[12:33] <jatt> Subhuman: thanks, unfortunately in my case it never worked. Windows requires to be registered after some weeks of use, and the windows key in the back of my laptop isn't accepted. I just wanted to know if anyone had similar experiences...
[12:33] <kouwe> stefg, installing breezy was no problem at all but drake always hangs at formatting...
[12:33] <Enverex> NthDegree, and WineX hasn't existed for a long long time
[12:33] <Subhuman> jatt, that means an issue with the key then, installing ubuntu will make NO difference.
[12:33] <king> !upgrade
[12:33] <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.
[12:33] <ikon> hi guys, for those who dont know what is the difference betwwen server and workstation VMware, heres the faq : http://www.vmware.com/products/server/faqs.html
[12:34] <Subhuman> and ive installed windows after ubuntu so i can confirm this.
[12:34] <Enverex> mejobloggs, Check the WineApp Database
[12:34] <furrykef> jrib - Hmm... I think I'll do without, but thanks anyway :)
[12:34] <stefg> kouwe: coulde the harddisk suffer from newly developed bad blocks?
[12:34] <ikon> the 4th point
[12:34] <mejobloggs> Enverex: link?
[12:34] <Enverex> mejobloggs, appdb.winehq.org
[12:34] <mejobloggs> ubuntu-6.06-alternate-i386.iso what i want?
[12:34] <mejobloggs> Enverex: thanks
[12:34] <Enverex> FYI I'm a tester/reporter for Wine
[12:35] <kouwe> stefg, hmmm dont know that... :$
[12:35] <jatt> Subhuman: right probably it is a key issue. I was thinking about something Microsoft does, like finding out it is running on a vmware VM and rejecting the key. But all that is offtopic, so I will not talk about this anymore here :)
[12:35] <Subhuman> jatt, it doesnt.
[12:35] <kouwe> but i just formatted suse 10.1 from it and that was working fine...
[12:36] <Enverex> stefg, That's outside, it's hotter inside as no-where has AV
[12:36] <Enverex> erm, AC
[12:36] <stefg> kouwe: so you come to partioning, but trying to format the drive ends with a freeze?... Is there a windows on the Laptop, or could you afford to wipe the complete harddrive?
[12:36] <CyDrive> how do i compile a .sh file?
[12:37] <mejobloggs> Enverex: doesnt look like my two programs have a hope of being supported on wine
[12:37] <pygi> hey folks :)
[12:37] <l33t> what programs?
[12:37] <Enverex> mejobloggs, Were they in the appdb?
[12:37] <mejobloggs> Solidworks and rFactor
[12:37] <jrib> CyDrive: what are you trying to install?
[12:37] <kouwe> stefg, no windows on the harddrive and yes it freezes while formatting.... and the drive can be wiped out
[12:37] <CyDrive> crossover
[12:37] <jatt> CyDrive: you don't. sh files are interpreted
[12:37] <mejobloggs> Enverex: they where in there, but no votes or no activity
[12:37] <d-s-d> Does anybody in here know how i can hibernate, or generally use any power-management functions, without clicking around on my gnome-desktop?
[12:37] <neuro-> hi there guys, got a problem when my ubuntu install gets to loading the xserver - it says "no screens found" in the x error log
[12:38] <leftjustified> can anyone recommend a UML app for ubuntu that doesn't use java?
[12:38] <l33t> maybe go to System and Preferences
[12:38] <Enverex> mejobloggs, I just checked them, both have multiple testing reports, all marked as "Garbage"
[12:38] <kouwe> btw in the meen time checking the CD finished perfectly
[12:38] <Enverex> mejobloggs, Basically they don't work, heh
[12:38] <jatt> neuro-: pastbin your xorg.conf file
[12:38] <mejobloggs> yeah, exactly
[12:38] <mejobloggs> so stick with windows for me
[12:38] <l33t> Power Management is in Preferences
[12:38] <neuro-> ok jatt, anything else i should know?
[12:38] <bahadirt> how can I authorise myself to send emails via postfix ?
[12:39] <stefg> kouwe: the paranoid way would be getting the 'lowlevel'-formatting utility from Toshiba and give the whole drive a treat. That would sort out a broken partition table and badblock-problems
[12:39] <bahadirt> it says "access relay denied"
[12:39] <d-s-d> l33t: yep, but is there any console-tool i can use outside of gnome to control the power-state of my computer?
[12:39] <kouwe> ok, didnt know there was that kind of tool but yes i can do that
[12:39] <Xk2c> jatt: How to pastbin with ubuntu?
[12:39] <kouwe> toshiba.org i assume ? :)
[12:39] <CyDrive> How do i install crossover its a .sh file what do i do with it?
[12:39] <jatt> neuro-: it could be many things. Use pastebin to put a copy of your xorg.conf (and X log file) so we can see it here, probably someone has a clue
[12:39] <l33t> I'm not sure
[12:39] <mejobloggs> Enverex: with VMWare Server, can you drag and drop files from the VM window to the host OS ?
[12:40] <neuro-> ok ta
[12:40] <neuro-> brb
[12:40] <Sakireth_> i'm banned in #ubuntu-offtopic >_<
[12:40] <gnomefreak> CyDrive: .sh files are ran by using sh file.sh
[12:40] <Enverex> mejobloggs, You can under Windows, not sure about Linux.
[12:40] <CyDrive> oooh ok
[12:40] <jrib> CyDrive: you usually just run the .sh file, open a terminal and do: sh /path/to/file.sh
[12:40] <jrib> CyDrive: (you may need to use sudo), be sure you trust the source of the file...
[12:40] <mejobloggs> Enverex: uhh, you mean, windows to windows only?
[12:40] <l33t> sudo bash!
[12:40] <kouwe> ok back
[12:40] <mejobloggs> Enverex: or windows as the host OS ?
[12:40] <Enverex> mejobloggs, as host
[12:40] <Sakireth_> i have an idea

[12:46] <Guard] [an> please, the configure script is not working on my ubuntu 6.06 laptop: cannot guess build type; you must specify one
[12:46] <Guard] [an> anyone has an idea about this pb ?
[12:46] <Sakireth_> Guard] [an: I don't know. ./configure --help might help
[12:47] <stefg> !build > Guard] [an
[12:47] <Guard] [an> well it says it's a pb of config.guess
[12:47] <Guard] [an> that is outdated
[12:47] <jrib> Guard] [an: what is the configure script for?
[12:47] <Guard] [an> i'm very surprised, i just installed automake 1.9 and autoconf 2.59
[12:47] <Guard] [an> jrib: it's the configure script generated by automake

[12:49] <thefish> i wanted to rename some lvs, so i just moved them (mv /dev/vg1/oldname /dev/vg1/newname), this worked perfectly, and i can now mount the lvs using the new names, but when i do lvdisplay, it still shows the old names. any idea where lvdisplay finds the names?
[12:49] <paulm> Does anyone know a program that will play  .wmv files?
[12:49] <Sakireth_> paulm: mplayer.

[12:50] <king> I really want to ditch XP and use Linux
[12:50] <Sakireth_> i wish i could run ragnarok online on Linux

[12:51] <zsh> hi does anyone know how to unpack tar.bz2 in php
[12:51] <Sakireth_> zsh: system("tar -xvjf tar.bz2")
[12:51] <thefish> paulm: try "dpkg -l | grep -i codec" and look for something like w32codecs-all
[12:51] <kouwe> stefg, installing and skipped the format part.... now hopes this will work
[12:52] <paulm> thefish  im using synaptic at the mo...
[12:52] <zsh> sakireth system is disabled
[12:52] <Sakireth_> zsh: That's b d.
[12:52] <Sakireth_> bad*
[12:52] <Sakireth_> zsh: I don't think there are libraries for that in PHP
[12:52] <thefish> paulm: ok, just look to see if you have that installed
[12:52] <Sakireth_> zsh: For such tasks, try python
[12:52] <paulm> thefish and according to synaptic i have that installed already
[12:52] <zsh> ok. thanks sakireth
[12:52] <Sakireth_> zsh: If you have system enabled, you can use a trick to integrate python into PHP
[12:52] <Sakireth_> you're welcome, zsh.
[12:52] <kouwe> wtf, "Installer crashed" .... ?
[12:53] <paulm> thefish  do i need to activate it in mplayer some how?
[12:53] <zsh> i wanted to upload joomla to my webhost so i think i'll first convert the archive to zip sakireth
[12:53] <thefish> paulm: no
[12:53] <Sakireth_> okay, zsh.
[12:53] <dsas> skype is a qt thing isn't it?
[12:54] <thefish> paulm: it should "just work" (TM)
[12:54] <ardchoille> Which command/app is launched when I choose System -> Quit? I'd like to put it in my openbox menus.
[12:54] <Sakireth_> thefish: stands for Microsoft? with the quotes? :P
[12:54] <paulm> thefish   lol  :-)   well...its not
[12:54] <thefish> paulm: it could be that the wmv is encoded with some wierd proprietary kaka
[12:54] <dsas> ardchoille: I have a faint idea that it's not a seperate executable but part of gnome-panel itself, could be totally wrong though.
[12:54] <thefish> heh
[12:55] <Sakireth_> y'know..
[12:55] <thefish> paulm: have you tried other wmv files?
[12:55] <ardchoille> dsas: Ahh, I'll investigate that.
[12:55] <paulm> thefish  I have realplayer if that would do it? Yeah it probably is encoded
[12:55] <paulm> thefish from the same site yes, and none work
[12:55] <thefish> paulm: not sure if realplayer can do wmv
[12:55] <dsas> ardchoille: Also be aware that the Ubuntu quit menu is different to all other distributions.
[12:55] <kalila> how do you list users in irssi :/

[12:56] <jrib> kalila: there is also a script to keep a list on the side of your screen iirc
[12:56] <zsh> thanks dooglus i'll try that
[12:57] <ardchoille> kalila: /names -count will give you just a user count of the channel, fwiw.
[12:57] <dooglus> zsh: you might find that popen is disabled, if system is.
[12:57] <dooglus> zsh: since they are able to do the same kind of stuff

[12:58] <paulm> thefish ok, i can get the plugin for FireFox to work  http://www.linspire.com/file_types/wmv_sample.php  but files i downloaded dont work.
[12:58] <paulm> thefish as you said they could be encoded specially or some crap like that
[12:59] <thefish> paulm: but that would mean you could not play it in anything
[12:59] <thefish> Sakireth_: have you tried parted?
[12:59] <thefish> Sakireth_: or qtparted
[12:59] <Sakireth_> thefish: but.. resizing the linux partiation, what will ahppen?
[01:00] <thefish> Sakireth_: yeap
[01:00] <thefish> Sakireth_: what fs?
[01:00] <Sakireth_> thefish: ext3
[01:00] <Schalken> i have a certain cd that, when i right click on and go "Copy CD..." to a file, it sits there with the bar gone across 1 pixel and the cdrom drive making a looping cd-reading sound. it eventually stops interacting with the cdrom and sits there doing nothing. is there a way I can find out what's wrong?
[01:00] <Sakireth_> and i can't resize it
[01:00] <thefish> Sakireth_: http://www.hermann-uwe.de/blog/resizing-ext3-partitions-with-parted
[01:00] <Sakireth_> thanks ^^
[01:01] <thefish> ;)
[01:01] <thefish> now who knows about lvm
[01:01] <paulm> thefish the downloaded files CANNOT be played in anything, VLC Xine nothing. the streamed one  can be, with the mplayer plugin for firefox
[01:01] <Sakireth_> aha.. so i should boot from a rescue disc?
[01:02] <thefish> Sakireth_: probably, you will need to have the partitions unmounted iirc
[01:02] <FusE> Can someone help me
[01:02] <FusE> how do I set the virtual desktop to 1024x768
[01:02] <infernix> vlc, if compiled with the right options, can use win32 codecs to play WMV and the likes
[01:02] <Sakireth_> thefish: hmm.
[01:02] <Sakireth_> thefish: ubuntu rescue disc to the rescue (feel the irony)
[01:02] <thefish> heh
[01:02] <burepe> I read that to play a dvd you need 128 memory (256 recommended) so why can I not get smooth play back with 512 in my machine?
[01:02] <FusE> how do I set the virtual desktop to 1024x768
[01:03] <thefish> Sakireth_: check out knoppix as well, its a nifty rescue system
[01:03] <FusE> how do I set the virtual desktop to 1024x768 ????
[01:03] <ardchoille> burepe: Is the movie "jerky"?

[01:10] <FusE> your keyboatd is worse than mine atm
[01:10] <king> How can I use make command??
[01:10] <robinl1> mykeyboard plain sucks.
[01:10] <dooglus> king: install "build-essential"
[01:10] <helpmeee> jatt: where in there?
[01:10] <telmich> king: apt-get install make (as root)
[01:10] <jrib> king: what software are you trying to install?
[01:10] <robinl1> the space bar doesn't work well, some keys don't work well andthe shift key refuses to work
[01:10] <jatt> telmich: sudo apt-get install make
[01:10] <robinl1> mykeyboard is a hellspawn.
[01:11] <robinl1> anyways... i can't resize the ext3 partitions, they are not mounted.. what do I do?
[01:11] <telmich> jatt: sorry, not conform with ubuntus way of live yet :)
[01:11] <king> jrib: Im tryin to install Bestcrypt for Linux
[01:11] <dooglus> robinl1: that depends on why you can resize them
[01:11] <dockane> hi all.. does anyone know, why khubd constantly uses up nearly all CPU performance? (top says 96.6)
[01:11] <dsas> general question: anyone idea if all of these "skype phones" I keep seeing, will work with ekiga.
[01:12] <jatt> dsas: I doubt it, ekiga is the new name for gnomemeeting AFAIK.
[01:12] <dooglus> robinl1: why you can't, sorry
[01:12] <sspy> In whitch countries Ubunty corp. sends Free CDs ??
[01:12] <robinl1> dooglus;i don't knowhy..
[01:12] <jrib> king: oh ok, just wanted to make sure that it wasn't available in the repositories.  But I searched for best crypt, and it didn't show up
[01:12] <helpmeee> jatt: I found the place to maybe help me :X it was the first site I went to and I believe I did there stuff rite but it still wont work
[01:12] <dooglus> robinl1: what happens when you try?
[01:12] <robinl1> dooglus; the menu entryis gray.
[01:12] <king> jrib: searched for it too but Couldnt find it
[01:12] <dsas> jatt: right, i know what ekiga is. I just wasn't sure to what extent the phone hardware is dependant on skype. Or whether it was just a marketing thing.
[01:13] <dsas> sspy: Any.
[01:13] <sspy> thx
[01:13] <jatt> helpmeee: can you listen mp3s from the command line? E.g.: mpg123 <your_mp3_file>
[01:13] <king> jrib: Im using the instruction here: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=84796&highlight=bestcrypt
[01:13] <king> It downloads, unpacks but I cant get the make command to work
[01:14] <robinl1> king: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[01:14] <FusE> Does banshe run off of itunes playlists?
[01:15] <robinl1> dooglus; the menu entry is gray.
[01:15] <damotor> hi
[01:15] <damotor> how can I use my camcorder as webcam in linux?
[01:15] <king> Thanks Robinll will try that once I have upgraded and booted to dapper
[01:15] <robinl1> k, king ^^
[01:16] <jatt> dsas: I didn't know about those phones until now, I looked some now in amazon, cool they exist. But anyway I think they would support the (proprietary) skype protocol only.
[01:16] <NthDegree> ok i'm back and this is old but WineX is the free CVS version of cedega without the proprietary bits
[01:16] <helpmeee> jatt: mpg123.. cmd not found :X im using kubuntu.. not sure if that would make a huge difference
[01:16] <dsas> jatt: Ok, thanks for looking. I'll continue on to dig some details. It looks like *some* may also support sip.
[01:17] <dsas> jatt: (though whether or not they work on linux is another thing :))
[01:17] <NthDegree> so yes WineX is still in existance, it's on transgaming's own site and you can get it via CVS - it is cedega but free :)
[01:17] <cntb>  i have permission denied on vfat partition what to add to fstab for write permissions ?
[01:18] <king> Oh Man Im a hardcore Microsoft lover but im falling in love with Linux! I really want to ditch XP and use Linux as my main system :)
[01:18] <FusE> is there a mp3 or media player that uses itunes playlists?
[01:18] <Canopus> Hello everyone
[01:18] <Sakireth__> I can't resize the ext3 partitions, they are not mounted.. what do I do? the menu entry on qtparted is gray
[01:18] <Noia> ubuntu does have ntfs support right _
[01:18] <NthDegree> Noia, you can install NTFS support
[01:19] <Noia> NthDegree:  whats the package name, do you know?
[01:19] <DarkMageZ> Noia, ubuntu can read ntfs, but cannot write without 3rd party software
[01:19] <NthDegree> not sure because Linux cannot fully support NTFS partitions that have been written to by windows
[01:19] <Noia> DarkMageZ:  I can't mount my NTFS partition though
[01:19] <king> I just hope i could use partitions vice versa between Win and Linux. But I dont twant to make all my NTFS drives to FAT32
[01:20] <Kaja> NTFS can be used via ntfs-3g or captive.
[01:20] <NthDegree> king you can, just convert your NTFS partitions to ext2 and use the windows ext2 driver :p
[01:20] <Kaja> (readwrite)
[01:20] <NthDegree> Kaja, not properly it can't because Linux *cannot* support windows FS permissions
[01:20] <Kaja> True.
[01:21] <king> Nthdegree: But i still need access from Windows to these drives. at least for a while
[01:21] <NthDegree> well you can simply in that case install the unsafe NTFS support
[01:22] <NthDegree> if anything goes wrong chkdsk will solve it
[01:22] <Sakireth__> anyone?
[01:22] <Sakireth__> *is waiting for half an hour now8
[01:22] <NthDegree> what is the issue sakireth?
[01:22] <Sakireth__> I can't resize the ext3 partitions, they are not mounted.. what do I do? the menu entry on qtparted is gray
[01:22] <NthDegree> use gparted
[01:22] <Sakireth__> that's not on the knoppix cd
[01:22] <NthDegree> qtparted is very flawed from what I have used of it
[01:22] <Dolittle> Hi all
[01:22] <king> Nthdegree: I have read about that but I dont want to risk my NTFS partitions getting corrupted
[01:23] <NthDegree> king, the risk is minimalist *if* the driver works correctly the files get given "everyone, full control" permissions
[01:23] <Subhuman> king, uses ntfs-3g driver
[01:23] <Canopus> i am get an error when i shutdown my laptop "Shutting down periodic command scheduler   [failed] " ... anyone that can help?
[01:23] <Subhuman> king, it has full read/write support
[01:23] <NthDegree> and chkdsk fixes errors remember
[01:24] <Tomcat__> Canopus: Check syslog what it says about shutting down "cron".
[01:24] <NthDegree> Canopus there should be no problem with that
[01:24] <NthDegree> it won't cause any damage AFAIK
[01:24] <Sakireth__> NthDegree: that's not on the knoppix cd
[01:24] <mejobloggs> NthDegree: what? I need IIS isntalled for VMWare Server??
[01:25] <king> Nthdegree, Subhuman: I might test it but does the write support for NTFS really work and is it fully tested? Why there isnt a official NTFS support?
[01:25] <NthDegree> mejobloggs, you shouldn't do
[01:25] <NthDegree> windows XP has IIS builtin so it should be ok
[01:25] <mejobloggs> NthDegree: it says its required for VMware Management Interface
[01:25] <NthDegree> king, because NTFS is proprietary
[01:25] <mejobloggs> NthDegree: what if you have XP Home?
[01:25] <Subhuman> king, it works for sure, itz been extensively tested, (this is ntfs-3g driver} , their is no official ntfs support because microsoft refuse to open the source for it
[01:26] <NthDegree> mejobloggs it is available on XP home too
[01:26] <Sakireth__> NthDegree: gparted is not on the knoppix cd
[01:26] <Subhuman> Sakireth__, use the gparted live cd
[01:26] <NthDegree> Sakireth, try gnoppix instead of knoppix
[01:26] <Subhuman> itz only 30mb or so
[01:26] <Subhuman> NthDegree, no point
[01:26] <NthDegree> or as Subhuman says :)
[01:26] <Subhuman> use the gparted live cd.
[01:26] <Subhuman> saves him a fat download.
[01:26] <confrey> hi everybody
[01:26] <NthDegree> yeah true
[01:26] <NthDegree> hi confrey
[01:27] <confrey> is there a way to install ubuntu in text mode from live cd?
[01:27] <Canopus> Tomcat_ : nothing
[01:27] <king> Ok I give ntfs-3g drivers a chance! Thanks everyone for Helping! Very much appreciated
[01:27] <NthDegree> confrey, get the alternate CD
[01:27] <NthDegree> that is the old text mode installer
[01:27] <Sakireth__> nthDegree; i can't burn cd's rightnpw
[01:28] <NthDegree> uh Sakireth, you don't know how to use CDRecord?
[01:28] <NthDegree> or no CD-RW drive?
[01:28] <Canopus> sakireth__: read the wiki on how to mount iso
[01:28] <Sakireth__> nthdegree: No  mycd burner isvery slow and the cdburner downstairs is takenby my father.
[01:29] <Subhuman> Sakireth__, itz only a 30mb iso, it wont take long even with a slow burner.
[01:29] <NthDegree> Sakireth__, note that a 30MB CD even at 1x is very fast burning
[01:29] <Sakireth__> ok
[01:29] <Canopus> any one can shed any light on how to get my wireless card working
[01:29] <Subhuman> Canopus, do an "lspci" and tell me what wifi card you got?
[01:29] <asad2005> liferea is repeating feeds, is there a way to get rid of this problem
[01:30] <NthDegree> yo i'll bbiab once i've installed fedora to complete my multiboots
[01:30] <Canopus> ok Subhuman
[01:30] <Tomcat__> asad2005: Repeating? I haven't had that problem... whatever it is.
[01:30] <Canopus> Subhuman: 2200 BG
[01:31] <Subhuman> Canopus, i mean the whole line.
[01:31] <Subhuman> 0000:00:12.0 Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6102 [Rhine-II]  (rev 74) like that
[01:31] <Canopus> Subhuman: 0000:02:02.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG (rev 05)
[01:31] <Subhuman> Canopus, oh an intel 2200 is supported
[01:31] <Subhuman> !2200
[01:31] <ubotu> I know nothing about 2200 - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:31] <Subhuman> !wifi
[01:31] <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
[01:32] <Canopus> Subhuman: but NetweokManager doesn't seem to sense it
[01:32] <Subhuman> Canopus, ill jus get a link for ya
[01:32] <Canopus> Subhuman, the only thing that appears there is wired network connection
[01:32] <babo> what's the character that'll make sed match a newline again ? ... I'm using \n at the moment but it doesn't seem to work ... sed -n '/words\n/p' file ... ?
[01:33] <Subhuman> Canopus,  http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/
[01:33] <asad2005> Tomcat_, yes I have a feed that updates every 15 minutes and after reading the news from that feed the same feeds reappears the next update
[01:33] <Subhuman> theres the drivers for it
[01:33] <Canopus> Subhuman, i can see it though in network settings, but when i make it my default gateway ... no connectivity, and the key is correct
[01:33] <Tomcat__> asad2005: Weird. Happens for all feeds or just a specific? It might be a badly coded feed...
[01:34] <Subhuman>  Canopus yes you need the firmware AND the drivers, i jus gave you a link
[01:34] <king> Hmm ntfs-3g looks good
[01:34] <asad2005> Tomcat_, I think its one feed
[01:34] <Subhuman> Canopus, it will detect it but it wont know how to interface with it withouyt the driver.
[01:35] <Mnabil> hello guys, i'm using ubuntu dapper LTS ,    how can i enable the module "libapache2-mod-php5 " which link php5 and apache2
[01:35] <stefg> !lamp
[01:35] <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
[01:35] <Subhuman> Mnabil, you just install it, and thats it.
[01:35] <Subhuman> Mnabil, "sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5
[01:35] <king> !make
[01:35] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[01:36] <Canopus> Mnabil, yeah its really hassle free, just did it yesterday
[01:36] <tuxtux> ciao
[01:36] <Subhuman> king,  "sudo apt-get install build-essential" thats the only thing you need to compile apps.
[01:36] <m_0_r_0_n> Firefox crashs very often without any message. Any idea how to find out, what to problem is?
[01:36] <Subhuman> king, > checkinstall
[01:36] <Mnabil> Subhuman, no i was good, but naw, i isn't
[01:36] <Subhuman> !checkinstall
[01:36] <ubotu> checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CheckInstall  -  Please: Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page.
[01:36] <Tomcat__> asad2005: You should check with other feed readers then... or post a bug in launchpad. Might be the feed.
[01:37] <Mnabil> Subhuman, it doesn't work naw , i dunno why , and when i remove the module, it say that module was disabled or not exist
[01:37] <king> Thanks Subhuman. Oh why cant there just be a file that you click and everything installs, like in Windows :rolleyes:
[01:38] <Subhuman> king, yes itz called Synaptic....
[01:38] <Subhuman> !synaptic
[01:38] <ubotu> synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SynapticHowto
[01:38] <Subhuman> but not everything is in synpatic
[01:38] <king> Im am aware of Synaptic =D
[01:38] <Subhuman> well then no complaining :D
[01:38] <Subhuman> apt > *
[01:38] <babo> Guys, I'm trying to parse the name out of  this line
[01:38] <babo>         <td><h2>Name</h2></td>
[01:38] <babo>         <td><p>N. Michael Thompson</p></td>
[01:39] <babo> How can I do that exactly, if sed ignores newlines ... ?
[01:39] <Mnabil> ???????????????????
 but not everything is in synpatic <--- not?
[01:40] <king> But when I download program from web, it would be easy if there would be file similar to windows (install.exe) and the program installs. Is's a big hassle to install a small program in Linux cos you need so much command line.
[01:40] <Subhuman> king, it can be done in one line 80% of the time
[01:40] <king> Will Linux ever be real competitor to windows if basic things are so hard to do.....
[01:40] <Tomcat__> king: How is using synaptic "much command line"? :o
[01:40] <Subhuman> king,  "./configure && make && sudo checkinstall"
[01:40] <Tomcat__> king: They are not hard. They are different.
[01:41] <king> But as I said I am Linux/Unix beginner but im developing...
[01:41] <Subhuman> i think installing in windows is hard work!
[01:41] <ardchoille> king: Competitor? IMHO, Windows died 6 years ago ;)
[01:41] <Subhuman> click next about 100 times.... in the first place you have to FIND software
[01:41] <Subhuman> itz not all just in a list for you.
[01:42] <Tomcat__> Last time I wanted to install a graphics driver in Windows, that was hard work... 20+M driver (yay ATI!)... then you need .NET 2.0 (another 10+M) first... then you need the Windows Genuine Advantage app to check your goddamn license... and so on. That's hard. :)
[01:43] <Tomcat__> Oh well, I'm going offtopic :)
[01:43] <king> Im falling in love with Linux but C'mon Linux isnt ready for a large scale desktop usage among regular users. Nothing works without errors. U need days to configure Linux. Like no granny or papa cant do that
[01:43] <ardchoille> king: Please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:44] <Tomcat__> king: I didn't say it was.... but package management is not a drawback. :)
[01:44] <Mnabil> hay guys isaid i need fucken help
[01:44] <king> I dont need to moan it anymore
[01:44] <bjorn-> Mnabil: please sir, language!
[01:44] <king> Im very gratefull for all the help that I gotten in here!
[01:44] <Mnabil> bjorn-, i 'm asking here get no answer
[01:44] <bjorn-> Mnabil: that's proposterous!
[01:44] <wildman> hello *
[01:45] <bjorn-> I understand you're upset
[01:45] <bjorn-> how much did you pay?
[01:45] <wildman> if I install an rpm package through alien, will I be able to uninstall it afterwards?
[01:45] <Tomcat__> wildman: Yes.
[01:45] <Dolittle> !tell Dolittle about mplayer
[01:45] <ardchoille> Mnabil: If no one can help you with your issue, what should we say?
[01:45] <Tomcat__> wildman: alien just converts a package to .deb, then you install it through the package manager.
[01:45] <River> I installed postgres 7.4 using apt-get install, during configuration it said it was obsolete. what is the apt-get command to get the latest postgres ?
[01:45] <wildman> Tomcat_, ok, thx. I'll try
[01:45] <Dolittle> !tell Dolittle about citrix
[01:46] <Tomcat__> River: apt-get install postgres should work
[01:46] <Dolittle> !tell Dolittle about kde4
[01:46] <Tomcat__> River: apt-get install postgresql :)
[01:47] <Mnabil> bjorn-, pay for what
[01:47] <Mnabil> ?@
[01:47] <Dolittle> !tell Dolittle about x1800
[01:47] <ubotu> I know nothing about x1800 - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:47] <Dolittle> !tell Dolittle about ati
[01:47] <River> tomcat_: do I need to uninstall 7.4 first ?
[01:47] <Tomcat__> River: Yes, because postgresql will only install the latest (7.5) version, if 7.4 is not installed.
[01:48] <yango> Tomcat_, there's no postgresql 7.5
[01:48] <Tomcat__> River: Eh... I just noticed it will install 7.4
[01:48] <Tomcat__> yango: Yeah, just seen it. :)
[01:48] <yango> from 7.4 it jumps to 8.0 and 8.1
[01:48] <River> tomcat: latest version is 8.1 ...
[01:48] <Tomcat__> River: 8.1 is not in the package database... only 8.0
[01:49] <Tomcat__> River: Install postgresql-8.0 then.
[01:49] <Tomcat__> River: It will automatically uninstall 7.4
[01:49] <River> tomcat_: ok .. thanks ... do i need to uninstall 7.4 or is there an upgrade to 8.1 ?
[01:49] <Dolittle> !tell Dolittle about fonts
[01:50] <gnomefreak> Dolittle: dont play with the bot
[01:50] <River> tomcat_: excellent .. thank you
[01:50] <River> tomcat: will try that now ... thank again
[01:50] <ic56> In windows, you can paste over a highlighted field, thus overwriting its content.  In X, hightlighting an item, such as the target URL in Firefox, automatically puts it in the paste buffer, overwritting any previous pastebuffer content.  This is tiresome.  Is there an easier way in X?
[01:51] <king> After all these years big software houses (like Adobe) arent supporting Linux. Of course there's Gimp but It's not Photoshop.
[01:51] <Tomcat__> ic56: Use the desktop manager's clipboard... Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V
[01:51] <offroadgeek> hello... /etc/init.d/hotplug is missing... how do I install hotplug in dapper?  (ie. is it a kernel module that I load manually or a package to install?)
[01:51] <ardchoille> ic56: CTRL+c the first highlight, then highlight the target text and do CTRL+v
[01:51] <Tomcat__> offroadgeek: afaik, hal replaced hotplug
[01:52] <gnomefreak> Dolittle: dont pm people without asking first please
[01:52] <Tomcat__> king: And all the good software (good licenses, fun things) are in Linux. How long did people need to come up with a good desktop manager for Windows?
[01:52] <offroadgeek> Tomcat__: thanks
[01:52] <Noia> erm. why didn't ubuntu inform me of my damn root password =\
[01:52] <ic56> Tomcat__, ardchoille: hmm, ^C doesn't work in Terminal.  How do I cut from there?
[01:53] <Tomcat__> !tell noia about rootsudo
[01:53] <ardchoille> ic56: ctrl+shift+c and ctrl+shift+v
[01:53] <santa99> !rootsudo
[01:53] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[01:53] <Tomcat__> ic56: Shift-Ctrl-C
[01:53] <Tomcat__> Noia: In short: You don't need a root pw on Ubuntu.
[01:54] <king> Tomcat_: Yes Windows has lots of probloms, it's buggy yes Linux rox but still Im amazed that after all these years big sofware vendors arent porting their software to Linux. It's a shame.
[01:54] <Tomcat__> king: Let's go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:54] <king> Ok tomcat
[01:54] <ic56> Tomcat__, ardchoille: Aaaaah! I see the light!  Thank you folks!
[01:54] <ardchoille> ic56: You're welcome :)
[01:56] <babo> How do I pull the (.*) out of this sed command ? ... sed -n '/<td><p>\(.*\)<\/p><\/td>/p'
[01:56] <ic56> babo: with \1
[01:57] <babo> ic56: doesn't work I'm afraid .. :-(
[01:57] <babo> I think it's the p at the end ...
[01:57] <bahadirt> hello
[01:58] <bahadirt> I finally configured a part of postfix
[01:58] <ic56> babo: is this the actual script?  It doesn't contain (s)ubstitute command...  Tell me exactly what you need done, I'll tell you how to do it.
[01:58] <bahadirt> I can send emails logging on over the telnet to port 25
[01:58] <bahadirt> but have I can config postfix to handle mails coming in
[01:58] <bahadirt> ?
[01:58] <f00bar> hi, anyone here using an Intel Pro Wireless 3945 chipset?
[01:58] <mejobloggs> what is 'Install in OEM mode' ?
[01:59] <javiolo> is there any way to manipulate firestarter from terminal _
[01:59] <bahadirt> I tried to send email to root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and it failed
[01:59] <babo> ic56: I need the name out of this line ... <td><p>N. Michael Thompson</p></td>
[01:59] <babo> How do I pull the (.*) out of this sed command ? ... sed -n '/<td><p>\(.*\)<\/p><\/td>/\1p'
[01:59] <babo> oopss .... sorry ...
[02:00] <jrib> babo: sed -rn 's#<td><p>(.*)</p></td>#\1#p' <<< "<td><p>N. Michael Thompson</p></td>"
[02:00] <ic56> babo: sed -n 's/<td><p>(.*)</p></td>/1/p'
[02:00] <bimberi> mejobloggs: it's a special install mode on the alternate CD - lets you set up a PC suitable for sale in a store
[02:01] <bimberi> mejobloggs: that it, all the software is installed and the first thing it does when booted is ask the user to set up the first account
[02:01] <ic56> babo: sed -n 's/<td><p>\(.*\)</p></td>/1/p'  (sorry, my irc is configured to eat backslashes)
[02:01] <javiolo> !tell mejobloggs about alternate
[02:01] <babo> ic56: the second one gives me 'unknown option s' ...
[02:01] <bimberi> *that is
[02:01] <ic56> babo: second one?
[02:01] <javiolo> is there any way to manipulate firestarter from terminal _
[02:01] <ardchoille> bimberi: That is a nice mode there
[02:02] <f00bar> I'm not able to get my laptop to connect to the Linksys router. iwlook can find the accesspoint, the daemon for the card works, but no ap is assigned to the card
[02:02] <mejobloggs> well, I am wanting to do a 'minimun install', where I get to chose only the things i want to isntall. What mode is that? (I have the alternate iso btw)
[02:02] <babo> ic56: the second sed expression you gave me ...
[02:02] <bimberi> ardchoille: it is :)
[02:02] <brutopia> javiolo: iptables
[02:02] <studprog> Hi all -- anybody here have experience with apt-mirror ... I'm trying to make a mirror but i've noticed that it doesn't fetch the newest files ..
[02:02] <babo> sed -n 's/....
[02:02] <ic56> babo: oh, wait, there's slashes in your pattern.  Use jrib's pattern.  It's right.
[02:02] <jrib> ic56: you have too many / / / /
[02:02] <bimberi> mejobloggs: that would be an 'expert' install (iirc)
[02:02] <javiolo> brutopia isnt firestarter a front end of iptables_
[02:02] <mejobloggs> k thanks bimberi
[02:02] <babo> oh sorry, I though both of them were from you ... I missed jribs one ...
[02:03] <brutopia> javiolo: that's correct
[02:03] <bimberi> mejobloggs: np :)
[02:03] <mejobloggs> bimberi: ah, I dont have that option
[02:03] <javiolo> brutopia I want a easy way to open/close ports via terminal
[02:03] <ic56> babo: sed -n 's|<td><p>\(.*\)</p></td>|\1|p'
[02:04] <bimberi> mejobloggs: it was a breezy install option - try typing 'expert' at the boot prompt
[02:04] <javiolo> brutopia firestarter cant work in terminal _
[02:04] <javiolo> damn question mark
[02:04] <brutopia> javiolo: no shit?
[02:04] <ic56> babo: this last one is right.  It's also consistent with your original usage (ie no extended REs)
[02:05] <javiolo> brutopia what
[02:05] <brutopia> javiolo: just learn to use iptables
[02:05] <poningru> hehe
[02:05] <studprog> hi - i'm looking for an easy way to make a local repository -- i've tried to used apt-mirror, but it does not get all the files i want ... What did you use (if you've made a mirror)
[02:05] <brutopia> then you can write scripts to automate tasks with it
[02:05] <babo> ic56: excellent, thanks ... and also to jrib ... I'm not sure why mine didn't work though :-/
[02:05] <javiolo> hehe
[02:06] <babo> too many slashes ?
[02:06] <poningru> javiolo: what are you trying to do/
[02:06] <poningru> ?
[02:06] <ardchoille> What is the command to log out of gnome properly? I need the command to put in my menu.
[02:06] <ic56> babo: yours was telling sed to print teh entire line.
[02:06] <javiolo> poningru I have firestarter installed, and I was asking if I could use it on the terminal
[02:07] <bahadirt> can someone help with postfix pop
[02:07] <spa-berlin> hi all
[02:07] <ic56> babo: mine begins with an s (Substitute) which tells it to *modify* the line.  The trailing p tells it to print after modifying.
[02:07] <javiolo> poningru sometimes when I connect via ssh I want to open a certain port
[02:07] <}btorch{> how can I burn a dd image that I have created and installed ubuntu using debootstrap onto a CD and make that CD bootable ?
[02:07] <ic56> babo: does that answer it?
[02:08] <}btorch{> is it possible
[02:08] <ardchoille> javiolo: You can type firestarter --help and there are some options, but not many
[02:08] <mdke> how can I extract a src.rpm? gnome doesn't seem to handle it
[02:08] <babo> ic56: ok cool thanks :)
[02:08] <poningru> ah
[02:08] <ardchoille> mdke: iirc, file-roller handles .rpm files
[02:08] <ic56> babo: yw!
[02:08] <mdke> ardchoille: not for me :/
[02:09] <ardchoille> :(
[02:09] <mdke> Archive type not supported.
[02:09] <f00bar> mdke: use alien to convert to a tar
[02:10] <spa-berlin> anybody know how i can boot into my ubuntu system using a live cd (Damn small linux). I broke my ubuntu. :(
[02:10] <f00bar> you might have to download the package though
[02:10] <javiolo> ardchoille thanks
[02:10] <mdke> f00bar: I'm convinced that there must be a way to directly extract it using file-roller
[02:10] <ardchoille> javiolo: You're welcome :)
[02:11] <javiolo> I think ill have to use iptables...
[02:11] <spa-berlin> I removed a running kernel and that removed the kerenl initfs package.
[02:11] <jbrimble2> I can't use debian backports.org with Ubuntu, can I?
[02:11] <spa-berlin> not even fix broken system works
[02:11] <etudiants> f
[02:11] <ardchoille> jbrimble2: Not a good idea to use *any* debian repos
[02:12] <mdke> ah, installing "rpm" has worked
[02:12] <jbrimble2> Is there an equivilant of backports.org for Ubuntu?
[02:12] <f00bar> mdke: what did you do?
[02:12] <RedGhost> newbie question: is there a keyboard shortcut to easy switch workspaces, and or possibly to launch the terminal?
[02:12] <javiolo> !backports
[02:12] <ubotu> If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports
[02:12] <jbrimble2> Thanks
[02:13] <f00bar> redghost: ctrl + alt + arrow should switch workspaces
[02:13] <ardchoille> RedGhost: ctrl+alt+left/right arrow
[02:13] <RedGhost> thanks both :)
[02:13] <mdke> f00bar: I installed the package "rpm"
[02:13] <RedGhost> is there a way to have the terminal to a key shortcut?
[02:14] <ardchoille> RedGhost: You can setup kb shortcuts in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts
[02:14] <RedGhost> gracious
[02:14] <ardchoille> RedGhost: I have mine open and there is alreadu a "run a terminal" entry, just need to define a kb shortcut for it
[02:15] <RedGhost> yes perfect, thank you :)
[02:15] <ardchoille> You're welcome :)
[02:15] <king> Question: How to tweak memory settings in linux? Im not sure if linux is using all the memory available
[02:16] <jbrimble2> whats the current Ubuntu release called?
[02:16] <RedGhost> ubuntu doesnt come with xchat by default anymore?
[02:16] <RedGhost> dapper drake i think
[02:16] <king> Ubuntu Dapper 6.06
[02:16] <jbrimble2> thanks king
[02:16] <king> nb
[02:16] <default> Hi, I have a short question: I found, that my dapper has three scheduling applications (cron, anacron and atd) and two logging applications (klogd, syslogd) . Do I really need all three schedulers or can I delete for example anacron?
[02:16] <brutopia> king: would you like it to allocate more than it needs?
[02:16] <Sakireth__> how long does resizing a partition normally take?
[02:17] <king> I'd like to allocate all that's available for use. I have 700+ mg of memory
[02:17] <king> i meant megabites lol
[02:18] <jbrimble2> How can I connect via SCP to a Ubuntu system?
[02:18] <jbrimble2> It says connection refused
[02:18] <brutopia> king: how did you end up thinking it doesn't use everything that is available
[02:18] <ardchoille> jbrimble2: scp is not a connection protocol, scp is a secure copy app
[02:19] <king> I cant seems to find Memory options from anywhere or to even have the info how much memory is allocated to Linux. Pls help
[02:19] <mejobloggs> what kernal should i be isntalling? linux-386/linux-image-386/linux-image-2.6.15... ?
[02:19] <codecaine> 2.6.1526
[02:19] <codecaine> 2.6.1526
[02:19] <maatttt> hi all
[02:20] <inflex> is there a way to install tightVNC rather than realVNC into Ubuntu ?
[02:20] <brutopia> king: it uses everything that is available by default
[02:20] <king> Brutopia: I read from the Internet that U have to make sure linux knows about all the memory that's available... That's all I know
[02:20] <codecaine> 2.6.15-26
[02:20] <jbrimble2> alright, well why isn't there a root account in Ubuntu?
[02:20] <king> Brutopia: Ok I U say so..
[02:20] <inflex> I tried 'apt-get install tightvnc' to no avail
[02:20] <inflex> jbrimble2, because it's a user-desktop system :)
[02:20] <brutopia> king: that's because some bioses fail to report correct amount of memory but it's rare
[02:20] <codecaine> don't need one but you can make mone passwd root
[02:20] <jbrimble2> ah, right.
[02:20] <ardchoille> jbrimble2: there is a root account, but it's disabled for security reasons, you can use sudo for admin tasks
[02:20] <codecaine> one
[02:20] <king> aa ok. My bios should be up to date
[02:21] <jbrimble2> So i'm assuming ssh is also disabled?
[02:21] <maatttt> I try to run my python scripts on ubuntu ( ./myscript.py ) but they don't run.  but `python myscript.py` works fine.  why so?
[02:21] <inflex> aha! found tightvnc
[02:21] <mejobloggs> so, linux-image-2.6.15-23-386 ?
[02:21] <brutopia> maatttt: add #!/usr/bin/python as your first line
[02:21] <codecaine> no
[02:21] <inflex> jbrimble2, no, ssh is available
[02:21] <codecaine> have to install it
[02:21] <brutopia> and make sure file has rights to execute
[02:21] <jbrimble2> thankyou :)
[02:22] <maatttt> brutopia: hmm, I have #!/usr/bin/env python
[02:23] <brutopia> so use it
[02:23] <mejobloggs> linux-image-2.6.15-23-386 is the kernal to install?
[02:23] <brutopia> it instructs shell to use that interpreter to interpret following data
[02:23] <mejobloggs> what does the -image part of it mean?
[02:24] <brutopia> "which python" would have also shown where your python is located
[02:24] <Noia> I can't seem to connect to wifi nodes
[02:24] <brutopia> maatttt: oh you meant you have that env string already and it didn't work
[02:24] <Noia> does ubuntu support WPA ?
[02:24] <DavidJ> I'm looking for a program for Ubuntu that will do the same things Nero does in Windows. Can someone suggest a program?
[02:24] <maatttt> ok, but it works on my debian system.
[02:24] <brutopia> use which-command to find correct path
[02:25] <maatttt> `which python` == /usr/bin/python
[02:25] <brutopia> maatttt: /bin/env program is the standard way to find
[02:25] <brutopia> env program should be in /bin
[02:25] <brutopia> forget what I said, use #!/bin/env python
[02:26] <maatttt> ah, no `env`
[02:26] <jbrimble2> inflex, did you find tightvnc in apt-get? I'm trying to install it too
[02:26] <king> GOSH dapper upgrade is taking such a long time
[02:26] <mejobloggs> codecaine: linux-image-2.6.15-23-386 is the correct one to install? What does the -image part mean?
[02:26] <rufuzz> hello
[02:26] <ardchoille> !info tightvnc
[02:26] <king> But im getting it after having so much trouble :D
[02:26] <ubotu> Package tightvnc does not exist in dapper
[02:27] <jbrimble2> hmm
[02:27] <brutopia> is ubuntu going to include runit in place of init at some point?
[02:27] <jbrimble2> so i have to install vnc-common?
[02:27] <jbrimble2> is that secure?
[02:27] <brutopia> no
[02:27] <jbrimble2> alright, i'll probably give vnc a miss all together then
[02:27] <brutopia> jbrimble2: unless you pipe connections through secure pipe
[02:28] <inflex> jbrimble2, yes
[02:28] <inflex> jbrimble2, it's called xtightvncviewer
[02:28] <maatttt> is env command a package ?
[02:28] <inflex> jbrimble2, easiest way is to search in apt-cache first
[02:28] <inflex> jbrimble2, ie,   apt-cache search tightvnc
[02:28] <DavidJ> does ubuntu allow me to mount cd images or do I need a program for that?
[02:29] <jbrimble2> i searched, but didn't find anything. I'm looking for a server, not a viewer
[02:29] <ardchoille> DavidJ: You can mount .ISO, yes
[02:29] <maatttt> ack, I have /usr/bin/env
[02:29] <DavidJ> ardchoille:  what about other formats?
[02:30] <inflex> jbrimble2, it's there too... tightvncserver
[02:30] <ardchoille> DavidJ: Well, the mount app mounts file systems and a .ISO file is simply a finalised file system.
[02:30] <inflex> tightvncserver - virtual network computing server software
[02:31] <jbrimble2> inflex: Have you put any new sources into apt?
[02:31] <jbrimble2> because i don't see it
[02:31] <inflex> jbrimble2, mmm... I might have, I basically selected nearly all the sources
[02:31] <spa-berlin> what can i do to recover a system if the "recover briken system" option doesn't work?
[02:31] <inflex> Is there a way I can find out which sources it came from?
[02:32] <jbrimble2> no idea
[02:32] <jbrimble2> I didn't know you could select sources from the gui
[02:32] <inflex> u can
[02:32] <inflex> but you have to go into the...ermm... lemme check
[02:32] <luc4> hi
[02:32] <jbrimble2> this is an interesting transition from Debian, i must say. lol
[02:33] <spa-berlin> hi
[02:33] <king> Timo to reboot thans for all the help!
[02:33] <inflex> jbrimble2, ja, ubuntu is about the first distro based on debian I can tollerate
[02:34] <EdsipeR> hi, how can I install gnome in my ubuntu 6.06 ?
[02:34] <inflex> jbrimble2, okay, go to applications add/remove, click on 'advanced'
[02:34] <EdsipeR> what's the deb name package?
[02:34] <inflex> jbrimble2, then go into settings -> repositories
[02:34] <inflex> there you can select a lot more Ubuntu sources
[02:34] <Sakireth__> Can anyone unban me in #ubuntu-offtopic?
[02:35] <jonah1980> hi can anyone tell me how to get to the mysql prompt, i don't seem to know my password etc and it's not having it!

[02:38] <alephant> but still no joy
[02:38] <Mnabil> so guys, i found the solution , some time libapache2-mod-php5  isnot enabled by default , what we can do is to links the module form /etc/apache2/mods-avilable to /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
[02:38] <alephant> any ideas what I can do to try and regain control?
[02:39] <spa-berlin> i think i borked the kernel

[02:42] <spa-berlin> ok, sorry no help here :(
[02:42] <frogzoo> spa-berlin: well you could still fix this with a live cd, alternatively, reinstall

[02:47] <de_latz> hi I have problems with the mod_rewrite with apache2, I 've read a bit in the forum but nothing helped! Any ideas?
[02:47] <musiclinux> i'm having major issues with the 2.6.15-26-x kernel. After updating i can't reach the graphical logon and it just freezes at the bootsplash. Any advice?
[02:47] <fr00d> Can somebody tell me how to write an @ with an american keyboardlayout?

[02:49] <gnomefreak> Sakireth__: dont play with the bot please
[02:49] <Sakireth__> bye
[02:49] <Sakireth__> ok
[02:49] <MrPockets> anyway to chance the crossover frequency for the audio in Ubuntu?
[02:50] <frogzoo> MrPockets: wasn't aware that pc sound cards separated frequency output?
[02:50] <Sanne> de_latz: I once collected some links to mod_rewrite refs and docs, do you want me to pastbin them for you? Other than that, I can't help yet with mod_rewrite myself.
[02:50] <de_latz> Sanne yeahh would be nice
[02:51] <gatekeeper> Flannel: So what do you make of that? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18435

[02:51] <Seveas> %unload Encyclopedia
[02:51] <Sanne> de_latz: ok, sec.
[02:52] !lilo:*! We're continuing to look at our service disruption incident. It appears there was no actual Cogent depeering, though we've heard about incidents unconnected with freenode around 4:05am UTC when our problems occurred. If you have route loss incidents, unrelated to freenode, to contribute from around that time, please message me. Thanks.
[02:52] <MrPockets> fo0bar, fersher. digital equalizer in a 5.1 system throws the lows out to the center channel, where a physical, real crossover seperates lows into the woofer. highs from the card go into the satelite
[02:52] <Sakunix> how paintful is it to resize a swap space?
[02:53] <frogzoo> MrPockets: ah yes

[02:53] <Sakunix> naga44: Would hope so
[02:54] <naga44> hehe
[02:54] <de_latz> cheers :)
[02:54] <void^> Sakunix: not painful at all
[02:54] <rocky_> well there's just a few ppl here
[02:54] <naga44> will the installer ask about the home dir?..or do i have to save it?
[02:54] <MrPockets> i didnt think it was in alsamixer last time i was in tehre
[02:54] <MrPockets> but i havent checked
[02:54] <Sakunix> naga44: It wont..
[02:54] <Sanne> de_latz: you're welcome :)
[02:54] <naga44> ok..thanks
[02:54] <gatekeeper> naga44: use tar backup then restore the bits you need
[02:55] <myyr> hello
[02:55] <Sakunix> void^: how easy?
[02:55] <rocky_> hello myyr
[02:55] <rocky_> hi musiclinux
[02:55] <void^> Sakunix: you can deactivate and activate any swap spaces on the fly, and you can do whatever you want to inactive swap
[02:55] <Liquid-Silence> hi all
[02:56] <Liquid-Silence> today is the day I make the move!
[02:56] <Liquid-Silence> hehe
[02:56] <_jpierre> Liquid-Silence: Hi
[02:56] <Liquid-Silence> I am going to install Xubuntu
[02:56] <Liquid-Silence> in a few hours
[02:56] <Sakunix> void^: I am currently installing linux onto my xbox console and it has asked me to set the sizes of the swap and root file system because they are kept on the HDD as images
[02:56] <Seveas> Liquid-Silence, good luck!
[02:56] <mwe> is there a package which installs just basic gnome without abiword and what not?
[02:56] <gatekeeper> naga44: this will backup your whole system but can be suitable modified; http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=81311&highlight=HOWTO%3A+backup
[02:56] <Sakunix> so not sure how this is all going to work
[02:56] <bimberi> Liquid-Silence: onya!
[02:56] <Sakunix> So I now have a set root file system size ><
[02:56] <Seveas> Liquid-Silence, let me point you to #xubuntu - another help channel geared to the xubuntu specific bits
[02:57] <naga44> thanks gatekeeper
[02:57] <Liquid-Silence> I am in there thanks bro
[02:57] <gatekeeper> naga44: np :-)
[02:57] <Sakunix> void^: done at cmd line? or is there a gui for it
[02:57] <naga44> whenever i try to boot...ubuntu hangs on the third line of the output message...  waiting for mounted file system....
[02:58] <Liquid-Silence> Seveas I have decided to drop my .net development habbits
[02:58] <Liquid-Silence> and move into java
[02:58] <naga44> has anyone seen that?
[02:58] <Liquid-Silence> :)
[02:58] <void^> Sakunix: commandline of course.
[02:58] <Seveas> Liquid-Silence, you can do .net on linux too, with mono
[02:58] <Sakunix> void^: how hardmode is it?
[02:58] <Liquid-Silence> mono is not advanced enough
[02:58] <Liquid-Silence> :)
[02:58] <void^> Sakunix: you usually want a swap partition of something between your ram size and twice the ram size
[02:58] <mwe> can you somehow install just a basic gnome system without 500MB+ of extra stuff?
[02:58] <Liquid-Silence> Seveas do you mind i pm you?
[02:58] <Seveas> Liquid-Silence, not at all
[02:59] <Sakunix> void^: hehe I am runing linux with 64 mb of ram what do you suggest I set the swap ot?
[02:59] <rocky_> hi ghost_
[02:59] <Seveas> Sakunix, 512 mb minimum if you plan to use openoffice
[02:59] <void^> Sakunix: okay, it's probably reasonable to go for more than 2x swap in this case :] 
[02:59] <gatekeeper> mwe: don't know how much it would install but you install a server version then the gnome desktop
[03:00] <Sakunix> Seveas: MythTV is my aim with this machine
[03:00] <Sakunix> going to sit in my lounge
[03:00] <Seveas> Sakunix, then start with 256-384, depending on what you're comfortable with
[03:00] <void^> hrm, i wouldn't really go above 256mb, depending on the behaviour of your applications it's probably not worthwhile to run anything that swaps more than that
[03:00] <mwe> gatekeeper: thanks
[03:00] <frogzoo> Sakunix: memory is cheap dude, 64meg is really low & gnome will be awful
[03:00] <myyr> helo again
[03:01] <myyr> ;P
[03:01] <gatekeeper> mwe: np just an idea :-)
[03:01] <MenZa> Sakunix: you need at least 256mb nowadays for your computer to function properly
[03:01] <Sakunix> frogzoo: I am attempting to run all this on a xbox console
[03:01] <orlowsks> When I leave ubuntu 6.06 running over night. When I come back the workstation is locked up. I checked video driver. Any ideas?
[03:01] <myyr> i was running glx and gnome-irc didn't like background transparency...
[03:01] <myyr> i mean gnome-xchat
[03:02] <void^> Sakunix: well, don't run gnome on it. use something slim like fluxbox, or xfce if you must.
[03:02] <mwe> gatekeeper: I already have kde and tried sudo aptitude install gnome and it was going to install loads of crap. gnome-desktop seems to install less crap :)
[03:02] <naga44> flux rules
[03:02] <Sakunix> void^: two steps ahead mate
[03:02] <Sakunix> void^: fluxbox is already on there and running
[03:02] <myyr> how do u use gnome and wifi (eg constant network reconfig)?
[03:02] <mejobloggs> can i install rpms in ubuntu? (trying to install VMWare tools)
[03:02] <gatekeeper> mwe: such is life :-)
[03:03] <myyr> sry, i mean 'how do u use flux and wifi?'
[03:03] <MrFeetio> mejobloggs: yes, get alien
[03:03] <Sakunix> myyr: you type stuff at cl i guess
[03:03] <myyr> btw - i hanve n00bish problem
[03:03] <gatekeeper> mejobloggs: you can using alien but they aren't guarenteed to work
[03:03] <gusdaro> hola gente
[03:03] <MrFeetio> mejobloggs: its in the repositories
[03:03] <myyr> k
[03:03] <mejobloggs> MrFeetio: thanks
[03:04] <gatekeeper> mejobloggs: have you had a look at the wiki and forums for info?
[03:04] <mejobloggs> gatekeeper: nope
[03:04] <mejobloggs> thats what irc is for ;)
[03:04] <gatekeeper> !vmware
[03:04] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository. Instructions to install VMWare Server can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingVMWare
[03:05] <gatekeeper> mejobloggs: ^^^
[03:05] <myyr> i have glx and i want to scroll desktops like flux does - can i bind in gconf-editor to use TWO simoultaneous mouse buttons to do something?
[03:05] <mejobloggs> gatekeeper: ooh, thanks
[03:05] <gusdaro> alguien habla castellano ?
[03:05] <MrFeetio> ok imnot a cd burining newb( i understand Cue and bin) but what are .cue .sub .img .ccd and how do i go about buring them to disc
[03:06] <gatekeeper> mejobloggs: always a good idea to do a bit of digging before jumping in, may save a lot of pain
[03:06] <myyr> gconf doesn't like Button1,Button2 or Button1+Button2 or Button1Button2... any ideas?
[03:06] <mejobloggs> gatekeeper: im installing ubuntu on vmware, not the other way arount
[03:06] <WooW> Hi  !
[03:06] <mejobloggs> gusdaro: dont think anyone here speaks castellano
[03:06] <gatekeeper> mejobloggs: ohhh
[03:07] <WooW> How can I activate ssh deamon on Ubuntu please ?
[03:07] <MrFeetio> mejobloggs: i dont think windows can open rpms
[03:07] <myyr> anyone running glx, compiz, thefuture?
[03:07] <bigfoot1> how do i convert a WAV file  to mp3 format?
[03:07] <gatekeeper> mejobloggs: from windows or another linux distro?
[03:07] <bigfoot1> maybe using terminal?
[03:07] <MrFeetio> myyr: i was
[03:08] <myyr> MrFeetio: and?
[03:08] <mejobloggs> MrFeetio: no, VMWare has an option to instal VM Tools on the guest (virtual) OS. This apparantly speeds the virutal machine quite a bit
[03:08] <MrFeetio> myyr: what do you want know
[03:08] <gregg__> bigfoot1: install and use lame
[03:08] <gatekeeper> mejobloggs: there is probable info both ways round on the ubuntu forums
[03:08] <MrFeetio> mejobloggs: doesnt it install it all for you( its in a menu)
[03:09] <myyr> MrFeetio, i want to bind TWO mouse buttons in Gnome to scroll through workspaces, like this: i press 2nd button down and then scroll with 3rd (eg scrollwheel).
[03:09] <myyr> MrFeetio, i just can't make gconf to understand me...; (
[03:10] <MrFeetio> myyr: im sorry, i set that to work but someone help me and i forgot, did you go to compiz.net?
[03:10] <myyr> k, i'll go there again...
[03:13] <ghost_> anyone use acts_as_ferret?
[03:13] <CrippsFX> Hello. I'm trying to build the sphinx3 decoder, but when I use "make" I get an error that causes the rest of the make to fail, the error is: "rpath: Command not found" ... does anybody know how to fix this?
[03:14] <jishin> I installed xgl/compiz on dapper ,and setting my keyboard to xmodmap.jp
[03:14] <bigfoot1> gregg__: ok. i've heard of lame. and i have it installed
[03:15] <bigfoot1> how do i do a lame on all files in a folder?
[03:15] <jishin> but when I restarted, gdm boot on , there was a warning about keyboard , force me to choose between gdm setting, and x server setting
[03:15] <jishin> I chose gdm, and my Japanese keyboard doesn't functional properly
[03:15] <abhinay> Hi, i have a DVD movie , i want to cut some action seens in tat movie, is there any software wich will be usefull as DVD cutter ?
[03:15] <CrippsFX> abhinay, dvdbackup
[03:16] <fyrestrtr> holy crap -- Intel reports 60% drop in profits
[03:16] !lilo:*! Hi all. Elkubuntu points Ubuntu users to http://ubuntucounter.geekosophical.net/ , the Ubuntu Counter Project.... it's like a miniature version of the Linux Counter, for Ubuntu users. Please give it a look.
[03:16] <jishin> how to switch back to the xorg  keyboard settings ,not gdm
[03:16] <gregg__> fyrestrtr: but now they've got core 2 duo...
[03:17] !lilo:*! (That nick was elkbuntu, and clearly I'm not quite awake yet. :)
[03:17] <gregg__> bigfoot1: you can use small shell script
[03:17] <gregg__> +a
[03:17] <abhinay> CrippsFX, should i use "sudo apt-get install thoggen" to install dvdbackup
[03:18] <CrippsFX> abhinay, "sudo apt-get install dvdbackup" works.
[03:19] <CrippsFX> abhinay, it will decrypt the whole DVD and leave it on your HD as the separate *.VOB files encoded in mpg
[03:20] <bigfoot1> gregg__ what shell script?
[03:20] <bsdirl> CrippsFX: what's that prog name? :)
[03:20] <CrippsFX> bsdirl, dvdbackup
[03:20] <gregg__> bigfoot1: for example, for i in *.wav; do lame --preset standard "$i"; done
[03:20] <bsdirl> so um once .VOB can you make compressed .avis of it?
[03:20] <CrippsFX> bsdirl, yeah.
[03:20] <abhinay> CrippsFX, can i use dvdbackup as DVD cutter
[03:20] <bsdirl> wewt :)
[03:20] <bigfoot1> how do i do a shell script?
[03:21] <lvraab> Cripps, how's the quality?
[03:21] <bigfoot1> I have just 10 wav files
[03:21] <bsdirl> I don't like being restricted to watching dvd's on this comp only. hehe
[03:21] <bigfoot1> maybe i don't need a shell script
[03:21] <bsdirl> ty
[03:21] <CrippsFX> abhinay, you can use it to decrypt the video so that you can use a video editor to cut scenes
[03:21] <lvraab> is it an exact copy of the DVD?
[03:21] <bsdirl> btw anyone seen that 'checkgmail' script in the dapper repos yet?
[03:21] <bigfoot1> what exactly is the command i run to convert foo.wav to foo.mp3?
[03:21] <bsdirl> it's pretty spiffy
[03:21] <avalente> hi. How can I remove the shutdown, reboot, hibernate buttons from the "Quit" menu, but still allow a user to enter "reboot" at a console?
[03:21] <bsdirl> bigfoot1: I think it's: lame foowav. foo.mp3 but dont hold me to that
[03:21] <dooglus> bigfoot1: something like:  for i  in *.wav; do lame "$i" "${i#.wav}.mp3"; done
[03:22] <bsdirl> nm listen to dooglus: that looks more correct
[03:22] <bsdirl> :)
[03:22] <gregg__> bigfoot1: lame foo.wav foo.mp3 (but you should really use a preset!)
[03:22] <CrippsFX> lvraab, no, it copies all the other dvds in your movie collection. it's really a pain in the ass, because every time I try to rip "the matrix" I somehow get "the lion king" on my harddrive ....
[03:22] <abhinay> CrippsFX, then wot is the software to cut dycripted videos ?
[03:22] <dooglus> I'll try it, just a sec.  that's off the top of myhead
[03:22] <lvraab> Cripps, lol, I see
[03:22] <CrippsFX> abhinay, check out freshmeat.org. they have a schmorgasboard of video editors.
[03:23] <dooglus> bigfoot1: like this: for i in *.wav; do lame "$i" "${i%.wav}.mp3"; done
[03:23] <mnk> hi guys,  just got a new xerox 4800 scanner. how do i install it?
[03:23] <babo> what's the command that shows you the directory tree again ? ... so command folder ... will give me all the files in the folder right on down the folder's directory structure ... ?
[03:24] <stefg> !scanner
[03:24] <ubotu> Scanning software: XSane, the gimp, Kooka. For instructions see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScanningHowTo and to see supported hardware: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsScanners
[03:24] <mnk> thanks
[03:24] <bsdirl> that gmail script fits nicely on my xfce panel :)
[03:24] <_jpierre> !tree
[03:24] <frogzoo> babo: ls -R ?
[03:24] <ubotu> I know nothing about tree - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[03:24] <_jpierre> !dir tree
[03:24] <ubotu> I know nothing about dir tree - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[03:24] <bigfoot1> dooglus: is what you're saying for a shell script, or can i just copy and paste that into terminal?
[03:24] <theBeno> Does anyone know how to setup duel monitors?
[03:24] <_jpierre> !terminal command
[03:24] <ubotu> I know nothing about terminal command - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[03:25] <Nameeater> babo: ls -R ?
[03:25] <lvraab> !ls tree
[03:25] <ubotu> I know nothing about ls tree - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[03:25] <gregg__> bigfoot1: presets are optimized lame settings for a certain quality/bitrate... MUCH better than cbr 128 kbps. I recommend "--preset fast standard" or "--preset standard"
[03:25] <frogzoo> _jpierre: please msg the bot - not in chan
[03:25] <babo> Nameeater: cool, thanks ... find was the one I was looking for ...
[03:25] <avalente> hi. How can I remove the shutdown, reboot, hibernate buttons from the "Quit" menu, but still allow a user to enter "reboot" at a console?
[03:25] <gregg__> bigfoot1: you can use it both ways. just paste it into the terminal, or put it into a text file and execute it later on
[03:26] <max_> hi

[03:30] <phaedrus44> what is good way to check the health of my hard drive?
[03:30] <www> were i can gou to spanish chanel?
[03:30] <void^> !es

[03:30] <max_> www join ubuntu-es chan
[03:30] <DarkProphet> hi all, how can I get ubuntu to use SMP ? Im on amd64-generic
[03:30] <www> #ubuntu-es
[03:31] <de_latz> hmm I still have no clue why the mod_rewrite doesn't work! it's beeing loaded by apache as I can see from the phpinfo() output but cakephp can't use it!
[03:31] <bigfoot1> gregg__: so does the command i run depend on the Wav's bitrate and other audio data?
[03:31] <de_latz> although it should be allowd
[03:31] <de_latz> ed
[03:32] <oggistest> grr
[03:32] <max_> is there anyone who know how to desactivate pc speaker sound (on a dell inspiron ^)
[03:32] <rocky_> Hi Oggis and everyone else who just joined
[03:32] <de_latz> I am using this in my lan...with dnsmasq on a box so I am accessing a url instead of ip .
[03:32] <Tomson> hello, im new to ubuntu, i need to uninstall previous version of easyubuntu, how can i do that ? thanks
[03:32] <frogzoo> phaedrus44: install & configure smartmontools, or you can run 'sudo smartctl -H /dev/hda
[03:32] <max_> no just only for terminal
[03:32] <mnk> drat the scanner is unsupported it seems
[03:32] <gregg__> bigfoot1: I don't understand you
[03:33] <WooD> void^: thanks a lot it does work very good :)
[03:33] <phaedrus44> thanks frogzoo
[03:33] <avalente> what's the name of that app that installs everything else? codecs and stuff
[03:33] <frogzoo> phaedrus44: no worries
[03:33] <bigfoot1> gregg__: let me explain. the wav files i have are 44kHz and 14H KBPS.
[03:33] <oggistest> rocky_, hi, although i didn't really join the conversation. I'm using this channel for stress testing and profiling my IRC client.
[03:34] <Colloid> what's a good, cheap, entry-level server to buy?  asus?
[03:34] <stefg> !easyubuntu
[03:34] <ubotu> easyubuntu is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. See http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ ; for help and discussion of easyubuntu please join #easyubuntu.
[03:34] <bigfoot1> gregg__: I want to retain the quality of the audio when the wav files are converted to mp3 format
[03:34] <bigfoot1> but i don't want to get an mp3 file size bigger than necessary
[03:35] <gregg__> bigfoot1: if you don't choose very low bitrates, lame won't do any resampling etc. of course, mp3 itself is NEVER completely lossless
[03:35] <theBeno> Does anybody know if you can have duel monitors
[03:35] <theBeno> ???????????
[03:35] <bigfoot1> gregg__: ok. so what command should i run? Sorry if you've already answered.
[03:35] <bigfoot1> i'm a newbie
[03:35] <bigfoot1> please be patient
[03:35] <bigfoot1> w me
[03:35] <gregg__> bigfoot1: no problem
[03:35] <frogzoo> theBeno: of course, are you running fglrx btw?
[03:35] <max_> is there anyone who know how to desactivate pc speaker sound (on a dell inspiron ^)
[03:35] <NineTeen67Comet> theBeno: .. with plain nVidia/Ati stuff yes .. but toss xgl into it and it's a crap shoot ..
[03:35] <_jpierre> theBeno: I guess you could
[03:36] <_jpierre> theBeno: Hold on a sec let me check
[03:36] <theBeno> _jpierre, alright
[03:36] <theBeno> frogzoo, What is fglrx?
[03:36] <gregg__> bigfoot1: "--preset fast standard" is considered transparent, that means the quality is so good that the mp3 can't be distinguished from the uncompressed file
[03:36] <Dr_Willis> !ati
[03:36] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:37] <Dr_Willis> fglrx is the name of the ati drivers
[03:37] <NineTeen67Comet> !samba
[03:37] <ubotu> samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[03:37] <gregg__> bigfoot1: so, try 'for i in *.wav; do lame --preset fast standard "$i" "${i%.wav}.mp3"; done'
[03:37] <bigfoot1> gregg__: i see, will ""--preset fast standard" not make a file size bigger than necessary? what i mean is: will that command make a 6mb file when a 5mb file (run with some other command) will sound just as fine? Are "--preset" commands going to find the best conversion rate?
[03:37] <frogzoo> theBeno: it's an ati driver, but there's a tool it supports called fireglcontrolpanel, which sets up dual monitor
[03:38] <MrFeetio> i need help getting glest to run, ivr read the howtos but i havent found one good enogh(dumb-downed for stupid ppl) to help me
[03:39] <gregg__> bigfoot1: that's complicated to explain, check http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=LAME#Recommended_Encoder_Settings
[03:39] <theBeno> frogzoo, alright, well, I currently have no tools, just a clean install of ubuntu 6.06
[03:39] <bigfoot1> gregg__: ok. i'm not a big audiophile. I'm just a tightwad with harddrive realestate (and with my 30 gig iPod)
[03:39] <bigfoot1> gregg__: i'll do you r command now. thank you very very very much!
[03:39] <myyr> MrFeetio, i went to compiz.org - didn't find anything for gnome keys but found a very cool tool - Akamaru. works like a charm
[03:40] <Pecisk> anyone has ideas how to create some directory on /var/run directory on Ubuntu boot?
[03:40] <abhinay> CrippsFX, i have tried dvdbackup tool , i did "dvdbackup -i /dev/dvd -o /home/abhinay/Movies -T 2" it is copying VOB files as it is, not decrypted to mpg, how to decrypt DVD to mpg ?
[03:40] <MrFeetio> myyr: thx that may help me
[03:40] <myyr> ?
[03:40] <myyr> hows that?
[03:40] <bigfoot1> grepper  'for i in *.wav; do lame --preset fast standard "$i" "${i%.wav}.mp3"; done'  <---Is this command going to do all files in a directory?
[03:40] <bigfoot1> gregg__: if so, i'd like to just try out one Wav file first.
[03:40] <bigfoot1> how do i do so?
[03:41] <gregg__> bigfoot1: lame --preset fast standard foo.wav foo.mp3
[03:41] <bigfoot1> sorry, not grepper* but gregg__
[03:41] <bigfoot1> thanks, gregg__ !!!
[03:41] <gregg__> yes, the other command should convert all wavs into the current directory
[03:41] <gregg__> s/into/in/
[03:42] <gregg__> bigfoot1: are you converting from audio CD?
[03:42] <bigfoot1> yikes, when I'm playing back my audio, it's playing at 2x speed. the voices sound like chipmunks!
[03:42] <bigfoot1> gregg__: nope
[03:42] <gregg__> ok
[03:42] <bigfoot1> i captured some streaming real audio into wav
[03:43] <bigfoot1> i think i should restart comp to get regular speed playback
[03:43] <gregg__> no, that's probably not the problem
[03:43] <MrFeetio> myyr: i like to toy around with things, and know the answer will help me help others
[03:43] <bigfoot1> so what is causing this high speed playback?
[03:43] <bigfoot1> wierd
[03:43] <bigfoot1> weird
[03:43] <gregg__> bigfoot1: are you sure these are real wavs? what does 'file foo.wav' report?
[03:43] <gregg__> maybe you have "raw" audio files
[03:43] <abhinay> i have tried dvdbackup tool , i did "dvdbackup -i /dev/dvd -o /home/abhinay/Movies -T 2" it is copying VOB files as it is, not decrypted to mpg, how to decrypt DVD movie to mpg ?
[03:44] <bigfoot1>  RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, mono 16000 Hz
[03:44] <www> holla
[03:44] <www> hola
[03:45] <www> un saludo para tod@s
[03:45] <bigfoot1> looks like a true wav file, doesn't it, gregg__?
[03:45] <bigfoot1> anyway, when i had this wierd playback (not converting, just regular playback ) problem, a restart helpde
[03:45] <bigfoot1> gregg__: hold on
[03:46] <bigfoot1> thanks
[03:50] <myyr> MrFeetio, r u a Bot?
[03:50] <MrFeetio> myyr: lol no
[03:50] <bigfoot1> gregg__: the restart helpd
[03:50] <bigfoot1> helped
[03:51] <MrFeetio> myyr: but i only respond when u use my name cause it make my window flash
[03:53] <bigfoot1> gregg__: i did the lame command you taught me. it went from 46mb Wav to 23 MB mp3
[03:53] <bigfoot1> it's still rather big
[03:54] <www> hols
[03:54] <Liquid-Silence> is there a app like camtasia for linux?
[03:54] <orbin> istanbul maybe
[03:55] <bigfoot1> gregg__:  sorry for bothering you
[03:55] <gregg__> bigfoot1: I thought you wanted to encode hi-quality mp3 from a cd... now this is something quite different
[03:55] <bigfoot1> yes, it's not from CDs but a capture of realaudio stream to wav
[03:55] <gregg__> bigfoot1: maybe "--preset 56" is ok for that
[03:55] <bigfoot1> ok. it's just spoken word (not music)
[03:56] <bigfoot1> i'll try 56
[03:56] <gregg__> bigfoot1: that'll yield an average bitrate of 56 kbps
[03:57] <trom> hey, need a little irc help, cant decide which irc client to use, id like to use the gnome x-chat, but i cant figure out how to permentaly display the user list, any help?
[03:57] <bigfoot1> gregg__: ok. by the way the Wavs are in Mono.
[03:57] <bigfoot1> does this make a difference as to what lame command i type in?
[03:57] <eXistenZ> how ubuntu is prounounced ? oo-bun-to or u-bun-to?
[03:57] <bigfoot1> or will lame keep stereo to stereo, and mono to mono?
[03:57] <stesch> Is it a known problem that flash movies on YouTube sometimes (very often!) has no sound? I can play videos+sound from video.google.com. But on YouTube it only works from time to time. And not always with the same video!
[03:57] <bigfoot1> eXistenZ: i pronounce it "you"
[03:58] <eXistenZ> bigfoot1, oo sounds nicer :)
[03:58] <stesch> I'm using alsa-oss for sound in Firefox+Flash
[03:58] <tritium> !pronounce
[03:58] <ubotu> Ubuntu is pronounced "oo-BOON-too"  See http://www.ubuntu.com/support/faq
[03:58] <bigfoot1> i guess it does
[03:58] <orbin> stesch: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats there's a flash+sound section
[03:59] <www> hi
[03:59] <theBeno> frogzoo, I have an onboard video, and an ati video card.

[04:00] <tritium> www: you need flashplugin-nonfree
[04:00] <www> i speake not too much englis
[04:00] <stesch> orbin: I know the page. It doesn't mention any problems with youtube. I have sound and flash. Only YouTube is getting me trouble.
[04:01] <King> Hi, It's me again. Was here couple of hours ago.. I installed bunch of udpates but Linux refused to boot to gnome, said something about error in X system. So I re-installed Ubuntu and so im still stucked in Breeze. I cant seem to get Dapper :headbanger:
[04:01] <www> i have flah
[04:01] <King> !install essentials
[04:01] <ubotu> I know nothing about install essentials - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[04:01] <gregg__> bigfoot1: it will keep stereo/mono
[04:01] <bigfoot1> thanks

[04:01] <ubotu> I know nothing about essentials - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu

[04:02] <tritium> !b-e > King
[04:02] <www> also-oss?
[04:02] <Awesome-o2000> how do I get an SMP enabled 686 kernel?
[04:02] <King> !repositories
[04:02] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[04:02] <orbin> stesch: aoss i think
[04:02] <MrFeetio> i need i googd cd/dvd burner that can open .ccd(clone cd files)
[04:02] <www> it is easy to install?
[04:02] <stesch> THis one is without sound: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuj9BrCIyvw
[04:03] <bigfoot1> gregg__: just curious, what do those asterisks mean? that text graph i see when i do a lame command?
[04:03] <King> !upgrade

[04:03] <orbin> www: it's in universe

[04:04] <stesch> orbin: Dou have any sound on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuj9BrCIyvw ?
[04:04] <orbin> awe6: install linux-686-smp
[04:04] <gregg__> bigfoot1: for less complex parts of the music, lame uses less bits (lower bitrate), for more complex more bits (higher bitrate). it's just a statistic
[04:04] <King> my update manager is telling im up to date. I should all the latest repostries. Why I cant get updates to Dapper in my update manager?
[04:05] <www> i go to install
[04:05] <orbin> stesch: yes
[04:05] <MrFeetio> myyr: lol
[04:05] <orbin> whoops
[04:05] <orbin> Awesome-o2000: : install linux-686-smp
[04:05] <bigfoot1> gregg__: oh, that's pretty smart of lame
[04:05] <bigfoot1> i like that.
[04:05] <tritium> Awesome-o2000: you want an SMP kernel?
[04:05] <bigfoot1> what happens when someoned doesn't use a preset?
[04:05] <orbin> King: i don't understand
[04:06] <Awesome-o2000> orbin, thank you - thats odd - im not used to that naming scheme
[04:06] <stesch> Very strange. Very, very strange. I hate these "only me" things. :-(
[04:06] <Awesome-o2000> tritium, orbin got it - thanks
[04:06] <vincenz> For some reason ubuntu did not remove ghc-6.4 when installing 6.4.1 and there's no 6.4 package anymore... how do I remove it?
[04:06] <tritium> Awesome-o2000: I saw, but I was just making sure that you _really_ want an SMP version.
[04:06] <stesch> Just checked a random video on video.google.com and everything is alright.
 how do I get an SMP enabled 686 kernel?
[04:07] <orbin> :)
[04:07] <King> Orbin: Im stuck in using Breeze. I want to update to Dapper but Gnome update manager isnt showing any updates to download. It says im up to date which im not
[04:07] <tritium> orbin: didn't see that part.  Sorry.  P.S., don't forget about !enter please

[04:08] <nosotros> i need help!!, i was watching a video and my audio stopped, now all i hear is something like static
[04:08] <vincenz> stefg: that in response to me?
[04:08] <vincenz> stefg: won't work
[04:08] <gregg__> bigfoot1: well... then the results (quality) might be suboptimal for a given bitrate
[04:09] <bigfoot1> i see
[04:09] <bigfoot1> thank you.
[04:09] <nosotros> i need help!!, i was watching a video and my audio stopped, now all i hear is something like static
[04:09] <Lynoure> nosotros: Is the vide known to have fully working audio? Do other files play sound still?
[04:09] <mrDaniel> i am trying to view this site (it's about the sony-ebook-reader) http://www.learningcenter.sony.us/assets/pa/prs/index.html?detectflash=false
[04:09] <stefg> vincenz: maybe get a dapper sources.list from easysource, sudo apt-get update and try again
[04:09] <mrDaniel> but for this i need flash8
[04:09] <Lynoure> nosotros: If you are using speakers, do you still get sound through headphones?
[04:09] <nosotros> that's the problem, nothing sounds... only static
[04:10] <mrDaniel> in the ubuntu-repository is only flash version 7
[04:10] <vincenz> stefg: I have dapper, I need to remove an old breezy package (ghc-6.4) cause dapper has 6.4.1
[04:10] <nosotros> i'm using headphones
[04:10] <nosotros> should i try with the speakers?
[04:10] <mrDaniel> how  i can update my flash from version 7 to version 8 =
[04:10] <mrDaniel> ?
[04:10] <mrDaniel> is there a HOWTO or something elde?
[04:10] <abhinay> plz, can anyone tell me where can i find the clean installation process of ubuntu dapper drake (from livecd) with screenshots ?
[04:10] <stesch> mrDaniel: There's no Flash 8 (or 9) for Linux.
[04:11] <nosotros> no, you can't install flash 8
[04:11] <tritium> mrDaniel: write a letter to Macromedia, and ask really nicely?
[04:11] <stesch> mrDaniel: There are some weird solutions to install Windows Firefox for wine and the latest Flash plugin. :-}
[04:11] <Lynoure> nosotros: yes, I'd recommend trying. At worst you'll get static through your speakers, at best you find out that it was just a mouse biting your headphone cord :)
[04:12] <mrDaniel> no flash version 8? i hate this
[04:12] <nosotros> Lynoure: only static, both headphones and speakers
[04:12] <www> i was instal flashplugin-nonfree , but i can't listeng the video of youtube
[04:12] <tritium> mrDaniel: nobody's fault but Macromedia
[04:12] <mrDaniel> but the solution with linux <--- wine <--- firefox-win <--- flash8 sounds interesting
[04:12] <Ng> mrDaniel: it sounds painful at best ;)
[04:12] <stesch> www: Can you listen to video.google.com?
[04:12] <orbin> www: did you follow the steps?
[04:13] <mrDaniel> but i think this is too complicated, only to watch one presentation on http://www.learningcenter.sony.us/assets/pa/prs/index.html?detectflash=false
[04:13] <nosotros> anybody any idea?
[04:13] <mrDaniel> @www i got the same problem
[04:13] <vincenz> How do I remove a breezy package????
[04:13] <stesch> There's more than just "steps". I can't listen to YouTube, too. But I can hear Flash games, video.google.com, etc.
[04:13] <orbin> nosotros: not sure if this is the best thing to do, but have you tried doing a 'killall esd' ?
[04:13] <nosotros> please, help me
[04:14] <Lynoure> nosotros: Next thing to try could be restarting X, after that maybe to see with a live cd if you can get sound... if not, then it might be hw, too.
[04:14] <tritium> vincenz: any package can be removed with "sudo apt-get remove <packagename>"
[04:14] <vincenz> tritium: not if it's shadowed by a dapper package!
[04:14] <vincenz> tritium: ghc6 now refers to version 6.4.1.... I can not remove 6.4!
[04:14] <stesch> www: Can you listen to video.google.com?
[04:15] <tritium> vincenz: let me look into it
[04:15] <King> I did the workaround in ubuntu wiki page but update manager still is not giving me dapper updato to download. Is it safe to alter /etc/apt/sources.list file to easy up getting the dapper update?
[04:15] <www> i cant listen any video of internet
[04:15] <nosotros> these is not the first time it happens, audio goes well with live cd, the only solution that i have found is reinstalling, but i want a real solution
[04:16] <King> Hi everyone good day from Finland!
[04:16] <RedGhost> good morning from canada :p
[04:17] <cr3> if anyone happened to have installed the slapd package, how can I authenticate against it for ldapsearch commands?
[04:17] <King> Another problem: make command isnt working
[04:17] <nosotros> any idea?
[04:17] <nosotros> i really need help
[04:17] <tritium> King: make?  You should install build-essential.  I already had ubotu send you info on !b-e
[04:18] <Lynoure> nosotros: I'm soon out of the door, but this link might help you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems
[04:18] <King> I guess i need to install somekindof essentials
[04:18] <King> Thanks Tritium!
[04:18] <frogzoo> King: build-essentials
[04:18] <tritium> frogzoo: no trailing "s"

[04:22] <orbin> www: nope.

[04:26] <rambo3> well i know how but its not recomended, or you can run firefox with sudo
[04:26] <vincenz> tritium: just can't remove the ghc-6.4 versin of ghc6 packag as it's unlisted
[04:26] <tritium> vincenz: dpkg -l | grep ghc, please
[04:26] <vincenz> nil
[04:27] <orbin> www: dunno what else to tell you.  the fix on that wiki page worked for me.  maybe try searching ubuntuforums.org
[04:27] <vincenz> tritium: tho I do have ghc6.4 fully installed
[04:27] <vincenz> tritium: 6.4.1 must have flushed the package without removing the old one
[04:27] <rambo3> www do you get sound when running sudo firefox
[04:27] <tritium> vincenz: what does dpkg list?
[04:27] <vincenz> tritium: nothing
[04:27] <tritium> dpkg -l | grep ghc returns nothing?

[04:28] <neopsyche> hi
[04:28] <vincenz> the 6.4
[04:28] <vincenz> not the 6.4.1
[04:29] <vincenz> I removed it
[04:29] <vincenz> in the hope of removing 6.4 as well
[04:29] <tritium> !enter
[04:29] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[04:29] <vincenz> sorry

[04:29] <tylerjroach_> I am running dapper on a hp dv4040us laptop and I need power saving modes to work. When I press suspend it will work fine until it starts back up. My resolution on my computer is always set up on 1280x800. When I get out of suspend my resolution way messed up. I can see only a small box on the whole screen and all of the edges are black. I can't see my start panel or anything because all I have is a box in the middle of the screen. Any help would be
[04:29] <tylerjroach_> greatly appreciated.
[04:29] <vincenz> tritium: what I think happened is that ghc-6.4.1 reused the same package name but did not actually remove 6.4
[04:29] <tritium> vincenz: that's not possible
[04:30] <vincenz> both packages are actually called ghc6
[04:30] <abhinay> !edgy
[04:30] <ubotu> edgy is the current development version of Ubuntu. Version 6.10, codename "Edgy Eft". For support head to #ubuntu+1. For its release schedule, see !schedule
[04:30] <trom> ubuntu autodetects and automounts my creative muvo n200, but amorok doesnt see it as a connected device, any ideas?
[04:30] <tritium> vincenz: as you saw from above, you have _no_ package named ghc6 installed
[04:31] <babo> my root prompt can't connect to my X server ... Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
[04:31] <babo> Xlib: No protocol specified
[04:31] <tritium> (old or new)
[04:31] <babo> Anyone have any ideas ?
[04:31] <vincenz> tritium: yes... I removed 6.4.1 ... and I think that 6.4.1 from dapper had reused the same package name without properly installing 6.4
[04:31] <King> Booting will be back soon ;)
[04:31] <orbin> tylerjroach_: what video card do you have, what driver are you using (in a terminal, run: grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf | tail -1)
[04:31] <rambo3> babo no xorg , kill x
[04:32] <babo> rambo3: why will kill X help ?
[04:32] <tritium> vincenz: huh?  You were asking about removing the old one, but you have nothing installed that we can remove.
[04:32] <rambo3> babo what are you typing to startx
[04:32] <vincenz> tritium: in breezy... 6.4 was named "ghc6".... in dapper 6.4.1  was named "ghc6" ... 6.4 was never actually removed (the files)... so I'm stuck with an installation I can not remove, even after rmeoving the 6.4.1 one
[04:32] <babo> startx ... I guess ... I think it just started on it's own, I'm not sure though ...
[04:33] <tritium> vincenz: no, you're not
[04:33] <babo> this computer hasn't been shutdown in a long while ...
[04:33] <tylerjroach_> it says i810 I have an intel integrated media accelerator card that came on my laptop
[04:33] <rambo3> babo try /etc/init.d/gdm start
[04:33] <vincenz> tritium: usr/lib/ghc-6.4
[04:33] <tritium> babo: you'll need to use sudo with that
[04:34] <babo> no difference I'm afraid, same problem
[04:34] <rambo3> tritium he sad as root , so i guess he is in safe mode
[04:34] <tritium> rambo3: ah
[04:34] <babo> it starts the display manager but still can't connect ...
[04:34] <babo> :-(
[04:35] <tritium> vincenz: and what's in the dir?
[04:35] <vincenz> tritium: a full installation of ghc6.4
[04:35] <rambo3> babo whats the error , did you dpkg-reconfgure xorg-server
[04:35] <abhinay> wot is the meaning of "Edgy Eft" ???
[04:35] <tylerjroach_> to be more specific it is an intel GMA 900 Integrated Graphics with 128MB Shared Memory and my driver said i810
[04:36] <babo> Xlib: No protocol specified ...

[04:47] <RedGhost> hmm, i use PellesC for windows because its LCC which is open source and its free

[04:47] <bahadirt> postfix is running
[04:47] <fyrestrtr> bahadirt: is postfix listening on the public ip?
[04:48] <phoez> Is there any filesystem more "resistant" to errors? I'm using reiserfs and have been having a lot of lockups lately due to overheating GFX card (nothing I can do till I get paid cept keep a big fan on the side of case) and it's killing my filesystem nearly every time.
[04:48] <bart3k> bahadirt: 110 port -> pop3 not smtp
[04:48] <tritium> phoez: ext3
[04:48] <phoez> thanks
[04:48] <bart3k> bahadirt: you need pop3 server
[04:48] <fyrestrtr> phoez: fix your overheating problems. a filesystem is not a cure for a overheating system.
[04:48] <phoez> I know
[04:48] <phoez> I'm going to fix them
[04:49] <bahadirt> bart : apart from postfix ?
[04:49] <phoez> but in the meantime, I'd like to avoid having to format as much as possible
[04:49] <fyrestrtr> phoez: and fix the powersupply

[04:49] <loko555> hello i get "sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0640, should be 0440" but how can i change it back?
[04:49] <McNutella> when ubuntu is asking for my password, is there anyway to stop it fading the screen, which I find really annoying and time consuming.
[04:49] <loko555> i cannot use sudo anymore
[04:49] <bart3k> bahadirt: yes
[04:49] <loko555> so what to do?
[04:49] <mnp> tritium: sorry i lost my connection. did you have any advice about my ICH4
[04:50] <bpmw> Orbin, it comes up on my XP workstation no problem
[04:50] <tritium> loko555: why did you change it?
[04:50] <RedGhost> @ narfmaster, anjuta was exactly what i was looking for, thanks again
[04:50] <tritium> mnp: I asked why you were disabling acpi
[04:50] <narfmaster> RedGhost, you're welcome
[04:50] <loko555> because i didn't know that i have to use visudo to change something in it
[04:50] <bahadirt> bart : can you pls tell me where to find it and install ? does it come with alternate cd ?
[04:50] <bahadirt> or should I download that seperately
[04:50] <bahadirt> ?
[04:51] <bart3k> bahadirt: pt-get install popa3d
[04:51] <Daiferas> hi, I'm having a bit of trouble installing Ubuntu. the install hangs/freezes when I attempt to manually partition my hd, as I've partitioned it ahead of time with windows and would just like to use this setup. I've checked the md5sum and verified the data on the CD using Nero, and, just to be safe, have done this with another copy as well. I partitioned a 512mb swap so the live cd went faster, but it still hangs when it 
[04:51] <loko555> tritium: any idea?
[04:51] <tritium> loko555: and why were you running visudo?  To give users sudo priveleges, add them to the admin group.  Don't use visudo
[04:51] <bart3k> bahadirt: apt-get install popa3d
[04:51] <loko555> ok, but how to change it back?
[04:51] <tritium> loko555: your best bet now is to reboot into single-user mode
[04:51] <gregg__> loko555: uh-oh... you can reboot and pass the option init=/bin/sh to the kernel. this will give you root access again.
[04:51] <loko555> ok, thanks a lot
[04:52] <bahadirt> couldnt fidn the package
[04:52] <hareem>  hi can some one please tell me how can i setup a linux network. Its for a net cafe
[04:52] <bahadirt> bart :
[04:52] <fyrestrtr> hareem: set one machine as the gateway+proxy+dns+firewall machine (all of these functions are available in linux). Then just add a switch and plug all the other machines in there.
[04:52] <bahadirt> I tried but it coulnt find the package
[04:53] <Awesome-o2000> is there a precompiled nvidia driver package for ubuntu? the one in linux-restricted-modules doesnt appear to work...
[04:53] <bart3k> bahadirt: popa3d is in universe repository
[04:53] <helfrez> wow impressive...Gizmo makes all outgoing calls free forever...thats gonna surely piss off the Skype folks lol
[04:53] <gregg__> Daiferas: how did you create the partitions for linux?
[04:53] <fyrestrtr> Awesome-o2000: what do you mean it doesn't work?
[04:53] <Daiferas> gregg: let me double check to be exact.
[04:53] <hareem> ok. But how can i setup file sharing
[04:53] <gregg__> Daiferas: I'd never trust partitionmagic ;)
[04:54] <narfmaster> Awesome-o2000, nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-legacy
[04:54] <Daiferas> gregg: oh, you mean with what? I used Acronis disc director in windows
[04:54] <Awesome-o2000> fyrestrtr I can modprobe nvidia but when I try to start X it says nvidia not found
[04:54] <Awesome-o2000> thank you
[04:54] <fyrestrtr> hareem: if all your clients are linux, use nfs.
[04:54] <tritium> Awesome-o2000: they work.  What happened?
[04:54] <gregg__> Daiferas: that's what I mean, yes
[04:54] <tritium> Awesome-o2000: do you have linux-restricted-modules installed (one that matches your kenrel version)
[04:54] <Awesome-o2000> yes
[04:54] <francolq_> hello. sodipodi only says "Segmentation Fault" in my AMD64 Kubuntu Breezy. Anyone could make sodipodi work?
[04:54] <King> Hi Im back
[04:54] <MrFeetio> i need a program to make dvd menues, can anyone help me?
[04:54] <mnp> tritium: if i dont disable the ACPI then ubuntu won't load. it freezes at "unpacking linux, okay. booting the kernel"
[04:54] <Daiferas> gregg: yes, then, I used Acronis. it's always seemed to work excellent before.
[04:55] <King> !repository
[04:55] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource

[04:55] <tritium> Awesome-o2000: and you've installed nvidia-glx?
[04:55] <Rikkimaru> how can I configure evolution to receive e-mails from a SuSe mail server?
[04:55] <tylerjroach> now when I try to wake up my computer the screen stays blank, and also when I restart my computer I get a bunch of white lines before the splash screen but they go away quickly
[04:55] <andycap_> who can I talk to to help me?
[04:55] <King> !repository fucked up
[04:55] <tritium> andycap_: just ask your question
[04:55] <ubotu> I know nothing about repository fucked up - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[04:55] <fyrestrtr> Rikkimaru: what is that email server running? IMAP, POP3?
[04:55] <McNutella> is there anything I can change to stop it fading the screen when ubuntu asks for a password, its annoying me.
[04:55] <Awesome-o2000> tritium I did now :) I didnt have access to gui to read howto - thanks for the help, see you in xchat
[04:55] <tritium> King: watch that language!
[04:55] <Rikkimaru> fyrestrtr: I don't know :(
[04:55] <hareem> ok so i install NFS and then what. I share a folder or something
[04:55] <andycap_> how do I connect to a windows network on ubuntu?
[04:55] <gregg__> Daiferas: the best guess is to have some free, unallocated space on the disk. this shouldn't cause any problems while installing.
[04:55] <King> SORRY
[04:55] <hareem> like is there any command for sharing
[04:55] <daveb> Hmmm. should .bash_profile run when I log into X ?
[04:55] <fyrestrtr> Rikkimaru: try pop3, most allow pop3 access.
[04:56] <mjr> daveb, nope
[04:56] <tritium> andycap_: Places -> Network Servers
[04:56] <frogzoo> daveb: nope - try .gnomerc
[04:56] <andycap_> I tried that, but when I click on Windows Servers it comes up blank.
[04:56] <daveb> frogzoo: ok thanks.
[04:56] <Daiferas> gregg: just leave it unallocated and have the install resize, or...?
[04:57] <andycap_> do both computers have to be connected to the internet?
[04:57] <Rikkimaru> fyrestrtr: any idea what server type I would use for sending e-mail?
[04:57] <King> Im having lotsa trouble getting Dapper update
[04:57] <fyrestrtr> Rikkimaru: smtp
[04:57] <King> are these right?

[04:57] <rhsanborn> I just installed ubuntu, and was hoping someone could help me with apt-get. I understand the apt-get install <package> syntax, but I don't know how to search for packages
[04:57] <gregg__> Daiferas: if there's unallocated space (free, unpartitioned space), there is no need to resize
[04:57] <tritium> King: those are both only for a cdrom
[04:57] <mjr> rhsanborn, apt-cache search
[04:57] <andycap_> can I plug them into each other with a usb plug?
[04:58] <tritium> !easysource > King
[04:58] <mnp> tritium: i've tried other acpi options but they dont work
[04:58] <Daiferas> gregg: which means I should use the manual partition, correct? I'd try this, but it hangs/freezes
[04:58] <King> Tritium: How to get my repostries right so I can get Dapper
[04:58] <King> Thanks tritium will look that
[04:58] <tritium> mnp: hmm...
[04:59] <gregg__> Daiferas: you can leave the partitioning to the installer in this case, ubuntu should pick reasonable defaults
[04:59] <andycap_> hmm
[04:59] <Daiferas> gregg: sorry? which option is that?
[04:59] <Rikkimaru> fyrestrtr: hmm, it says "Could not connect to POP server https"
[04:59] <mnp> tritium: i found a website that suggests i need to get more current acpi files for my asus notebook to get ACPI to work properly, but that requires recompiling the kernel
[04:59] <Daiferas> gregg: I'm a linux newb :)
[04:59] <mnp> and im not that advanced
[04:59] <andycap_> same here
[04:59] <fyrestrtr> Rikkimaru: leave out the https.
[04:59] <siennalizard> King: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185758
[04:59] <tritium> mnp: that's likely the case
[05:00] <gregg__> Daiferas: sorry, I don't know the exact name. :) but it's something as simple as "use free space on harddisk"
[05:00] <mnp> okay ... ill have to wait for sound and video then until i get more advanced.
[05:00] <andycap_> I just want to get some files off my other computer and the windows network isn't coming up
[05:00] <mnp> tritium: i am also trying to get Lyx installed on my system. any idea how to help me out with that?
[05:00] <tritium> mnp: you have no video either?  are you just using console?
[05:00] <Daiferas> gregg: the options are resizing, completely erasing, and manually editing - unless one isn't showing up because I don't have unallocated space
[05:01] <rhsanborn> Alright, it appears the package I want isn't part of the servers I have. Any idea where I can find new package sources?
[05:01] <fyrestrtr> mnp: sudo apt-get install lync
[05:01] <fyrestrtr> mnp: sudo apt-get install lynx
[05:01] <gregg__> Daiferas: that's it of course :-)
[05:01] <siennalizard> tritium: you'll need universe repos.
[05:01] <tritium> mnp: lyx, or lynx?
[05:01] <mnp> tritium: i mean, i cant play videos in totem because my sound card isn't recognized
[05:01] <mnp> tritium: lyx, the LaTex editor
[05:01] <Daiferas> gregg: thank you so much! I'll try this after I eat some breakfast. =) thanks again!
[05:01] <tritium> mnp: sudo apt-get install lyx
[05:01] <mnp> that will do it?
[05:01] <gregg__> Daiferas: if it STILL won't work you can try to use a non-graphical installer
[05:02] <RedGhost> does ubuntu have a glib package in the repository, if so what name?
[05:02] <tritium> mnp: it's not really a LaTeX editor, though.  It hides the actual LaTeX from you.  I hate it, personall
[05:02] <mnp> i'd like to get it a shot.
[05:02] <Daiferas> gregg: I'd looked on the forums for similar problems and arrived at that conclusion too, but figured I'd see if there might be another way first. I'm glad I did
[05:02] <narfmaster> RedGhost, glib? do you need glade?
[05:02] <mnp> tritiumL i know from the Lyx site that i need like four other programs to get it going, imagemagic, etc... will the apt-get take care of all that for me?
[05:02] <fyrestrtr> RedGhost: yes, its called libc
[05:02] <siennalizard> mnp: I'm in favour of Lyx, too. Worth a try for long docs.
[05:03] <siennalizard> tritium: should do.
[05:03] <MrFeetio> is there anyway i can make .avi files smaller, they still need to be readible by a dvd player
[05:03] <m_0_r_0_n> 
[05:03] <siennalizard> tritium: I installed it recently without problems
[05:03] <RedGhost> narfmaster, anjuta gave me a bunch of dependency errors on compilation, i found and installed all but 'glib'
[05:03] <wolfeySI> hello guys, is it possible to add an non-utf8 locale?
[05:03] <mnp> siennalizard: will the apt-get install lyx take care of everything? that is, i do it and say Y, and then it will be ready to go?
[05:04] <m_0_r_0_n> What kind of special charactor do you read? ->   
[05:04] <fyrestrtr> mnp: yes
[05:04] <siennalizard> mnp: THat's what I did.
[05:04] <tritium> siennalizard: hmm?
[05:04] <andycap_> tritium my windows internet was running off my ethernet cord, and I took it out to get internet access on this computer,  now this computer is the only one with internet.
[05:04] <mnp> fyrestrtr: nice. thanks. also, where can i find a list of software to use apt-get for?

[05:05] <ubuntu> how to install ettercap?
[05:05] <narfmaster> RedGhost, you probably need libglib2.0-dev
[05:05] <tritium> siennalizard: what are you trying to tell me?
[05:05] <King> THANKS siennalizard and Tritium
[05:05] <Coffeegrindah> has anyone in here burned a vcd?
[05:05] <ubuntu> some1 please help to run ettercap on ubuntu
[05:05] <tritium> mnp: LyX is okay, but you're better off learning proper LaTeX syntax, and using something like winefish or texmaker
[05:06] <fyrestrtr> ubuntu: sudo apt-get install ettercap
[05:06] <siennalizard> tritium: sorry. meant to direct that to mnp
[05:06] <King> Im regenerating sources.list, but do I really need to use country code??
[05:06] <tritium> King: for what?  :)
[05:06] <andycap_> linux is too complicated
[05:06] <King> Tritium: for helping earlier
[05:06] <tritium> King: country codes help pick closer servers, for one thing

[05:18] <ic56> siennalizard and fyrestrtr: do these packages enable data entry in the corresponding language or just display of error messages in that language?
[05:18] <wolfeySI> assssss: well with torrent you need to choose one with lots of seeders and working tracker
[05:18] <wolfeySI> :)
[05:18] <assssss> then it comes timeout
[05:18] <fyrestrtr> ic56: data entry is a matter of choosing the right keyboard layout.

[05:42] <fyrestrtr> a2xm: tip: don't use partition magic to move partitions around :)
[05:42] <LiL-BrAiNoNsKa> yo
[05:42] <bigfoot1> siennalizard: huh?
[05:42] <|_eChuck> any idea how to get the terminal to the systray?
[05:42] <bigfoot1> siennalizard: ekiga used to work fine
[05:43] <LiL-BrAiNoNsKa> whenever I plug my memory stick into windows computer it freezes
[05:43] <a2xm> fyrestrtr: well, it's too late now :-(
[05:43] <bigfoot1> ekiga, i don't think i ever installed nvidia dirviers
[05:43] <trev__> so why odes it say there is a directory that dosen't exist
[05:43] <LiL-BrAiNoNsKa> and my computer usage jumps from low 10s to 100 immediately
[05:43] <gregg__> partition magic is teh 3v1l
[05:43] <LiL-BrAiNoNsKa> and I have to restart my computer
[05:43] <bigfoot1> by the way, what is nvidia, siennalizard? Are they video drivers?
[05:43] <bigfoot1> i only use ekiga for audio, not video
[05:43] <MrPockets> where the hell is the option to keep XINE ontop?
[05:44] <fyrestrtr> MrPockets: right click on the title bar, Always on top :)
[05:44] <siennalizard> bigfoot1: sorry, think I was giving you the answer to someone else's problems...!
[05:44] <homerh_linux> hiya tryed sudo apt-get upgrade but still not wokring still 37 packages to uprade
[05:44] <bigfoot1> siennalizard: no prob
[05:44] <MrPockets> ahh
[05:44] <MrPockets> just says ontop
[05:44] <bigfoot1> siennalizard: i'll wait for your answer, if you please
[05:44] <Awesome-o2000> that didnt work - I am unable to configure the screen saver used by the system - please help!
[05:44] <LiL-BrAiNoNsKa> anyone know what this problem is?
[05:44] <fyrestrtr> MrPockets: I meant, the title bar is always on top :)
[05:44] <siennalizard> bigfoot1: you need to enable the stun server, maybe?
[05:45] <ic56> I used gnome> System> Preferences> Keyboard  to add a French keyboard layout to my system.  Now, how do I enable this layout and switch back and forth between it and English?
[05:45] <siennalizard> You can add the switcher to your panel.
[05:45] <siennalizard> ic56: You can add the switcher to your panel.
[05:45] <fyrestrtr> ic56: right click on the top panel > add to panel > keyboard switcher
[05:45] <siennalizard> ic56: right click on the panel and say "add to panel"
[05:45] <bigfoot1> siennalizard: but even when i do the testing, i can't hear myself?
[05:45] <bigfoot1> myself
[05:46] <Amaranth> LiL-BrAiNoNsKa: Are you asking for help with Windows?
[05:46] <Awesome-o2000> weak, I had to remove gnome-screensaver
[05:46] <bigfoot1> and the config druid thinks that a stun server is unnecessary
[05:46] <siennalizard> bigfoot1: I'm not an ekiga user, I'm afraid. best google for help, really.
[05:46] <bigfoot1> siennalizard: thanks
[05:47] <fyrestrtr> can you hear, but not record, or what?
[05:47] <LucyGirl> a2xm, I remember now, last nite - u r getting sound advice -Partition Magic does not like Linux
[05:47] <Enverex> LucyGirl, How so?
[05:48] <a2xm> LucyGirl: good you remember ;-)
[05:48] <siennalizard> LucyGirl , a2xm: best it's not unusual to have to change grub when changing partitions.
[05:48] <homerh_linux> come on somene mush know why i cant upgrade my packages still getting the same error
[05:48] <siennalizard> a2xm: problem is with logging into your system to make the changes.
[05:48] <ctkroeker> anyone try edgy release knot1 yet?
[05:48] <fyrestrtr> just the thought of 'moving' partitions gives me the creeps.
[05:48] <Awesome-o2000> hey - nice job on the alacarte menu editor - thats REALLY nice
[05:49] <fyrestrtr> ctkroeker: I bet many people in #ubuntu+1 have :)
[05:49] <Amaranth> Awesome-o2000: thanks
[05:49] <siennalizard> fyrestrtr: can be done, but not with gparted or anything nice.
[05:49] <gregg__> ctkroeker: live cd is out?
[05:49] <LucyGirl> gotta go - bye 4 now
[05:49] <ctkroeker> just debs
[05:49] <Amaranth> Awesome-o2000: the one in edgy is better
[05:50] <Chongo> hi, does anyone know how to get turbolister 2 working in ubuntu / kubuntu with wine? are there any 'nix equivalents?
[05:51] <ic56> siennalizard, fyrestrtr: thank you again!  I found a thing called "keyboard indicator" (no switcher) and added that to the panel.  Sure enough, I can right click it and change the setting.  Yet, despite my doing that, when I type in vi in gnome-terminal, the text displayed is still English.  What else do I need to do to type in French?
[05:51] <fyrestrtr> Chongo: best place to figure that out is to look it up at winehq.org
[05:51] <siennalizard> ic56: that's the one.
[05:52] <Awesome-o2000> is there a version of enemy territory that is installable via apt?
[05:52] <siennalizard> ic56: try opening a new terminal once you've changed that setting.
[05:53] <theBeno> How do I install hotway from repositories?
[05:53] <a2xm> siennalizard: is it true i can not go to my system and open my menu.lst? i'm using liveCD now.
[05:53] <Kaja> a2xm, no.
[05:53] <siennalizard> a2xm: ho hum. You need to go to /boot/grub

[05:55] <a2xm> siennalizard: yes i know.. but, ok wait...
[05:55] <__mikem> Does anyone know what happened lastnight. A whole bunch of people including me were kicked off of freenode, and when I tried to reconnect, I got server busy errors?
[05:55] <jbrimble> Hey guys. Still having problems with installing nvidia drivers.. I type "sudo nvidia-glx-config enable", and I get "Error: your X configuration has been altered."
[05:55] <jbrimble> And something about the script cannot proceed
[05:55] <fyrestrtr> __mikem: probably a botnet attack. It happens from time to time.
[05:56] <siennalizard> jbrimble: you'll have to manually make the changes to the file. find the line that has "nv" as the value, and change it to "nvidia" that might do it. i'll send you a link
[05:56] <fyrestrtr> jbrimble: no worries, just open up /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change Driver "nv" to Driver "nvidia" that's really all it doesn.
[05:56] <ic56> siennalizard, fyrestrtr: trying variations of your suggestions.  The ideal solution would be a keystroke to switch back and forth since I need to type commands, like "vi" and "ls" in English but, once inside vi, I'll want to type in french.
[05:56] <jbrimble> I tried that, and it wouldn't load X
[05:56] <doomstone> Hello, are there one here who are exp in running WoW on ubuntu? becaus i have some problems with my wow only running 7fps with a Geforce 6800GT EXT! i'm quit new to linux so sadly i don't know how to fix it myself.
[05:56] <shocktrooper1> how to detect available ddr
[05:56] <shocktrooper1> ?
[05:56] <fyrestrtr> ic56: I'm sure there is something to do it in vi, but I'm not that much of a vi guru :)
[05:57] <hareem> hi
[05:57] <ironfroggy> is it possible to move /boot to a different drive or partition?
[05:57] <siennalizard> jbrimble: you're going to have to paste your logs...
[05:57] <ironfroggy> i would like to boot from a seperate drive.
[05:57] <hareem> does any one know any p2p software for ubuntu. Like lime wire or something
[05:57] <jrib> !p2p
[05:57] <ubotu> Conventional P2P clients: Limewire/GTK-Gnutella/Frostwire (Gnutella Network). BitTorrent: see !torrent Direct connect: try valknut
[05:57] <rowanjl> Hey, I have a problem with the libdevil-dev package, as far as I can tell it installs without error, but if I try and compile something that depends on it, the compile fails with "collect2: ld returned 1 exit status"
[05:57] <siennalizard> ironfroggy: hmm. I suppose you could move it. maybe you can try just installing grub to that drive?
[05:57] <jbrimble> siennalizard: Okay, i'll do that
[05:57] <fyrestrtr> hareem: sudo apt-get install frostwire
[05:57] <rowanjl> Could someone help me work out why? :(
[05:57] <hareem> thanks
[05:58] <jrib> hareem: gtk-gnutella is in universe I believe, frostwire you need to download and install
[05:58] <ironfroggy> siennalizard: planning to, which is why i wondered if i could move /boot there
[05:58] <a2xm> siennalizard: yes, I've open my /dev/boot/grub/menu.lst now
[05:58] <fyrestrtr> rowanjl: what are you trying to compile?
[05:58] <saiko> hi, how can i change the file permissions which are associated as root's, i know the root password and all ?
[05:58] <rowanjl> fyrestrtr: ogre3d, or any of the libdevil examples
[05:58] <siennalizard> saiko: chmod
[05:59] <Taim> Nevermind.  Got it figured out.  It should be under boot?
[05:59] <siennalizard> saiko: type "man chmod" in a terminal.
[05:59] <doomstone> hmm :(
[05:59] <saiko> thx, i'll try it
[05:59] <jbrimble> The log doesn't seem to have anything interesting in it other than    Could not compile gcc-version-check.c.  Please be sure you have your distrib
[05:59] <jbrimble>    ution's libc development package installed and that 'cc' is a valid C compil
[05:59] <jbrimble>    er name
[05:59] <motorsep-work> hello all
[05:59] <jbrimble> oops, sorry.
[05:59] <siennalizard> a2xm: shouldn't be under /dev...
[05:59] <siennalizard> jbrimble: :-)
[05:59] <a2xm> siennalizard: and i see there: my default grub root device is not hda5
[06:00] <fyrestrtr> rowanjl: try sudo apt-get install libdevil-dev
[06:00] <fyrestrtr> rowanjl: arrg, I meant -- wait
[06:00] <motorsep-work> can somebody tell me if there is good 2D CAD software for Linux (like AutoCAD or Cadopia) ?
[06:00] <rowanjl> :)
[06:00] <siennalizard> a2xm: when you've changed the file correctly, run update-grub
[06:00] <jbrimble> siennalizard: So, what's the package called?
[06:00] <Chongo> hmmm, turbo lister 2 says it requires ie5 when i try and run the installer with wine on ubuntu 6.06
[06:00] <jbrimble> cc, i'd assume
[06:00] <doomstone> Can one tell me what the difrent between Cedega and Wine is?
[06:00] <a2xm> siennalizard: it's on (hd0,4). is it should be (hd0,5) = hda5 ?
[06:00] <Chongo> anyone have any ideas how to get round that - do i have to install ie5!?
[06:01] <siennalizard> motorsep-work: try qcad
[06:01] <fyrestrtr> rowanjl: sudo apt-get install libogre :)
[06:01] <ic56> fyrestrtr: not much luck with terminal.  I succeeded in typing in a foreign language in gedit, having started itfrom gnome panel.  But then, I can't enter a filename in ASCII :-(
[06:01] <bishop> anyone have a Motorola Razr (V3i) working in linux?
[06:01] <siennalizard> bishop: what? Bluetooth?
[06:01] <bishop> http://www.linuxnetmag.com/de/issue9/m9moto4lin1.html
[06:01] <Chongo> doomstone, cedega also includes the direct x libraries
[06:01] <rowanjl> fyrestrtr: I would, but its out of date, and I have to recompile anyhow to use OgreDotNet :/
[06:01] <bishop> usb.  it looks cool as hell
[06:01] <fyrestrtr> doomstone: cedega contains some special features for gaming.
[06:02] <fyrestrtr> rowanjl: oh :(
[06:02] <rowanjl> yeah, this problem has been three days running now :(
[06:02] <siennalizard> motorsep-work: it's old, but try http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=56253&highlight=moto4lin
[06:03] <doomstone> Ok becaus i have problems with wow running verry low ftps, could cedega help me with this?
[06:03] <a2xm> siennalizard: what should I change in the menu.lst?
[06:03] <siennalizard> a2xm: if you know what partition you need, that's half the battle. Can't you just swap out the wrong hd() with the right one?
[06:04] <fyrestrtr> doomstone: first thing you do, make sure accelerated drivers for your video card are running problem. Next thing you do, disable xgl.
[06:04] <ironfroggy> is 'device (hd0) /dev/hda' not a valid line?
[06:04] <rakto> eh? a new ubuntu test release..
[06:04] <rakto> ?
[06:04] <fyrestrtr> ironfroggy: for....?
[06:04] <siennalizard> fyrestrtr: grub, I bet.
[06:04] <ironfroggy> fyrestrtr
[06:04] <fyrestrtr> yeah but you never know.
[06:04] <rowanjl> I don't suppose someone feels like trying to compile Ogre3d?
[06:04] <ironfroggy> fyrestrtr: yeah for grub
[06:04] <siennalizard> fyrestrtr: lol
[06:04] <fyrestrtr> ironfroggy: nope :)
[06:04] <ironfroggy> im getting 'file not found' for some reason
[06:04] <homerh_linux> hiya still cant get my update to work look throught the forum and still no joy E: The package index files are corrupted. No Filename: field for package azureus.   E: Unable to lock the download directory
[06:05] <fyrestrtr> ironfroggy: what's up?
[06:05] <siennalizard> homerh_linux: you are putting sudo in front of the line, right?
[06:05] <siennalizard> homerh_linux: have you got synaptic running at the same time?
[06:05] <homerh_linux> yeah im not that stupid
[06:05] <siennalizard> homerh_linux: ok, ok...
[06:05] <homerh_linux> ;)
[06:05] <fyrestrtr> so...how stupid are you?
[06:06] <doomstone> fyrestrtr: i have Nvidia driver version 1.0-8762 installed, and i run the game by "wine /home/doomstone/Games/WoW/WoW.exe -opengl", can that the game is not located in the fake windows folder play a part in the low fps?
[06:06] <homerh_linux> hehe
[06:06] <george_looney> anybody know of a good web admin interface for Ubuntu
[06:06] <siennalizard> george_looney: webmin
[06:06] <fyrestrtr> george_looney: like ... webmin? :)
[06:06] <george_looney> I don't seem to find Webmin with apt-cache search
[06:06] <siennalizard> fyrestrtr: we just overlap a little, don't we?
[06:06] <siennalizard> george_looney: think it might be universe.
[06:06] <george_looney> i have universe/multiverse, but, still no luck
[06:06] <fyrestrtr> doomstone: no, you need to read the winehq entry for WoW -- fixes in there.
[06:07] <fyrestrtr> siennalizard: just stop peeking over my shoulder
[06:07] <motorsep-work> siennalizard, why do I need that Motorola thread? :P
[06:07] <fyrestrtr> george_looney: when was the last time you ran sudo apt-get update ?
[06:07] <doomstone> fyrestrtr: if it is the wow path for wine you are talking about? i have applyed that
[06:07] <lotemos> hola
[06:07] <Awesome-o2000> cable company is so screwy - I told them I wanted my tv turned off and my cable modem left on, so they put a tap on the line and left all the movie channels on
[06:07] <george_looney> fyrestrtr: today
[06:07] <n00b> How do I set UK kb without deadkeys?
[06:07] <fyrestrtr> doomstone: are your drivers working fine? you get direct rendering/
[06:08] <siennalizard> fyrestrtr: I can't seem to find webmin either! He's got a point.
[06:08] <Awesome-o2000> I have no regular channels but I have movie channels out the wazoo - good thing for sirius radio
[06:08] <george_looney> is there a packages.ubuntu.com site?
[06:08] <bishop> siennalizard, i get all kinds of errors in messages regarding sdb when i plug my phone in.  you get it to work?
[06:08] <doomstone> fyrestrtr: i actly don't know, that only think i know is that i see the "Nvidia" logo at startup, and i where told that is the sign that the drive is working.
[06:09] <n00b> The GNOME kb applet doesn't have an option to turn it off
[06:09] <siennalizard> n00b: try setting up X again (so long as you haven't changed the defaults since you installed): sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:09] <siennalizard> n00b: different problem. ignore me!
[06:10] <siennalizard> bishop: I sent you that link because it seemed to be talking about what you were trying to do...
[06:10] <doomstone> fyrestrtr: are there a way i can test it with a program?
[06:10] <siennalizard> bishop: I don't own a moto anymore, I'm afriad.
[06:10] <fyrestrtr> doomstone: fglrx | grep direct
[06:10] <stefg> doomstone: glxinfo | grep direct rendering
[06:11] <fyrestrtr> yeah that
[06:11] <siennalizard> doomstone: you can often tell from the framerate you get out of: glxgears -printfps
[06:11] <siennalizard> stefg: that's not A valid grep...

[06:11] <ubotu> You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, apt-cache, the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com  -  Ubuntu has about 18000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways!
[06:12] <fyrestrtr> george_looney ^
[06:12] <siennalizard> doomstone: try glxinfo | grep direct\ rendering
[06:12] <fyrestrtr> grep direct works :)
[06:12] <doomstone> 48 frames in 5.1 seconds =  9.495 FPS
[06:12] <siennalizard> fyrestrtr: I just escaped the space.
[06:12] <fyrestrtr> doomstone: give it a few more seconds ... that's just ... so wrong.
[06:12] <siennalizard> doomstone: that's frighteningly low.
[06:12] <stefg> siennalizard: yeah, didn't pay too much attention ... glxinfo | grep direct will do the job
[06:13] <doomstone> doomstone@doomstone:~$ glxinfo | grep direct\ rendering
[06:13] <doomstone> direct rendering: Yes
[06:13] <siennalizard> doomstone: wierd.
[06:13] <fyrestrtr> doomstone: what kind of video card do you have? are you running xgl?
[06:14] <fyrestrtr> doomstone: on my puny ati with 64 meg ram, I get 6684 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1336.658 FPS
[06:14] <doomstone> i have a ASUS GeForce 6800GT EXTREEM, on a ASUS K8N-SLI Delux with 1gb ram
[06:14] <fyrestrtr> and that's on a laptop.
[06:14] <noelialo> noelialo@zelazny.freenod...
[06:14] <siennalizard> doomstone: even on my machine with shared graphics, I still get 3527 frames in 5.0 seconds = 705.396 FPS
[06:14] <doomstone> Hmmm :(
[06:14] <fyrestrtr> doomstone: something is wrong with your setup.
[06:15] <siennalizard> fyrestrtr: I think he knew that...
[06:15] <doomstone> Well you don't say :D
[06:15] <doomstone> i followed a guide, where i installed the driver by apt-get
[06:15] <nexact_> hey all, I'd like to know how I could have the same fonts: http://amsn.sourceforge.net/wiki/show_image.php?id=83 .. there's a small blur on it... it's probably an anti-aliase feature.. where can i active it ?
[06:16] <doomstone> Wee it is down to 8.1 fps now :D
[06:16] <siennalizard> nexact_: System>preferences>font
[06:16] <siennalizard> nexact_: then go for "subpixel smoothing"
[06:16] <doomstone> Is there a way i can remove all i might have fucked up wit my nvidia drive?
[06:17] <doomstone> so i can reinstall it right
[06:17] <siennalizard> doomstone: you could remove the driver with synaptic, then try: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:17] <stefg> doomstone: that indicates that you're running Soft 3D...
[06:17] <daveb> Trying to control volume, per applicaiton. IE: GAIM sounds are way louder than music player
[06:17] <doomstone> hmm
[06:18] <fyrestrtr> doomstone: you are definately not running acclerated graphics. Post your xorg.conf file and the output of glxinfo
[06:18] <daveb> GAIM is set on "Automatic" for sound
[06:18] <stefg> doomstone: what does lspci | grep VGA tell you?
[06:18] <fyrestrtr> and by post I mean, pastebin.
[06:18] <nexact_> siennalizard: I already had subpixel, but however AMSN don't want to obey ;P
[06:18] <doomstone> stefg: 0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV40 [GeForce 6800 Ultra/GeForce 6800 GT]  (rev a2)
[06:19] <siennalizard> fyrestrtr, stefg: I'm leaving you holding the baby. Have fun, and I'll probably see you around.
[06:19] <stefg> ok, what does uname -r tell you?
[06:19] <fyrestrtr> I'm about to leave in a bit too, so it'll be all stef.
[06:20] <stefg> doomstone: nvidia on dapper has to work... there's just a minor tweak necessary
[06:20] <siennalizard> nexact_: I think amsn is a QT ap. try the font options in: qtconfig-qt3
[06:20] <doomstone> Ok i will try to do a "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" now.. i will might disconnect :D
[06:20] <doomstone> stefg: ok brb
[06:21] <nexact_> siennalizard: I do not have qtconfig-qt3 command..
[06:21] <doomstone> Hmm is "XServre-xorg-driver-nv" the standart NV driver from ubuntu?
[06:22] <stefg> doomstone: sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[06:22] <jpaisneto> hi
[06:22] <doomstone> stefg: I have just removed all my nvidia drivers
[06:22] <doomstone> where just about to reconfig
[06:22] <stefg> doomstone: tell me your unmae -r
[06:23] <stefg> doomstone: tell me your uname -r
[06:23] <jpaisneto> can i run x11, kde or console programs in ubuntu or only gnome files?
[06:23] <doomstone> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:23] <doomstone> mt
[06:23] <doomstone> 2.6.15-26-386
[06:24] <stefg> doomstone: sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-386 nvidia-glx && sudo nvidia-glx-config enable ... then alt-ctrl-backspace for a X restart and check
[06:25] <doomstone> stefg: ok
[06:25] <jpaisneto> stefg: can i run x11, kde or console programs in ubuntu or only gnome files?
[06:26] <doomstone> stefg: Error: your X configuration has been altered.
[06:26] <doomstone> This script cannot proceed automatically. If you believe that this
[06:26] <doomstone> not correct, you can update the md5sum entry executing the following
[06:26] <doomstone> command:
[06:26] <doomstone> md5sum /etc/X11/xorg.conf | sudo tee /var/lib/x11/xorg.conf.md5sum
[06:26] <doomstone> otherwise edit manually /etc/X11/xorg.conf to change the Driver section
[06:26] <doomstone> from nv to nvidia.
[06:26] <doomstone> Shale i just run the command or shale i edit it?
[06:26] <stefg> !paste
[06:26] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[06:27] <stefg> that being sorted out... sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:27] <stefg> and do what it tells you... chnage the 'nv' in section driver to nvidia
[06:28] <doomstone> stefg: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18444 <- the full parse
[06:28] <doomstone> ok
[06:28] <jpaisneto> stefg: can i run x11, kde or console programs in ubuntu or only gnome files?
[06:28] <doomstone> stefg: done
[06:29] <doomstone> stefg: just ctrl+alt+baclbase now?
[06:29] <stefg> jpaisneto: please stop staljking me, i'm busy as you can see
[06:29] <stefg> doomstone: yes

[06:36] <ozzloy> hi __QBert__
[06:36] <titi> OLA
[06:36] <__QBert__> hola php-irc
[06:37] <titi> QUIERESSER MI ANIGO

[06:37] <mnk> hello all. i have an ubuntu box acting as a router simply allowing other machines to connect thru the internet via it. how can i block msn ports from only certain machines pls?
[06:38] <stefg> !firetsrter
[06:38] <ubotu> I know nothing about firetsrter - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[06:38] <stefg> !firestarter
[06:38] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed with iptables (in the command line), firestarter (gui, can also setup connection sharing) or shorewall (web interface)
[06:38] <B1zz> heheh there we go
[06:38] <mnk> ok thanks
[06:38] <mnk> but how do i do it?
[06:38] <__QBert__> cool ^_^
[06:38] <trev__> how do I add  launcher to the applications menu
[06:39] <mnk> stefg, could u tell me exactly what i have to do pls? sorry i'm new to all this stuff
[06:40] <__QBert__> hola ?
[06:40] <stefg> mnk: you have to setup rules for the firewall (iptables) firestarter will assist you with that...
[06:40] <ral_hn> i have grub error 24.. how can i do?
[06:41] <ardchoille> trev__: Applications -> Accessoeirs -> Alacarte Menu Editor
[06:41] <trev__> thx
[06:41] <stefg> ral_hn: you could search google to find out wht that error means
[06:41] <ardchoille> You're welcome :)
[06:42] <__QBert__> hola
[06:42] <jpaisneto> can i run x11, kde or console programs in ubuntu or only gnome files?
[06:42] <DoomStone> Stefg: I think the xserver worked, but my desktop fucked all up, i can login thoug x but when i have loged in can i only see a brown background and the curser.
[06:43] <__QBert__> dije: hola
[06:43] <stefg> jpaisneto: sorry but this a nearly nonsense question... you can run anything in ubuntu as long as it's valid code, and all dependencies are met
[06:43] <DoomStone> Stefg: I think i will try reinstalling Ubuntu and do it right from the start!
[06:44] <robertj> is there a way to make folders not sort to the top in the file open dialog?
[06:44] <stefg> DoomStone: try to add a new user and see if the new user has a working default desktop
[06:44] <jpaisneto> stefg: can i run a .tar.gz2 file?
[06:44] <DoomStone> stefg: i tryed did not worke :<
[06:45] <__QBert__> como va ?
[06:45] <DoomStone> Well i will be back in 1 hour or so with a fresh and clean Ubuntu :D
[06:45] <stefg> DoomStone: maybe something is screwed... but remember to install the restricted-modules and nvidia-glx packages to get Hardware 3D after reinstall

[06:52] <bagpuss_thecat> hey all, I'm trying to dist-upgrade hoary to dapper on x64, but it keeps failing at ia32-libs, saying that it can't create /usr/lib32/libGL.s0.1.2 Is there any way around this?
[06:53] <_bt> okay ill try that , i have some stuff in my console window but dont know how to paste it
[06:53] <nalioth> bagpuss_thecat: your machine will break doing that.  you have to go hoary > breezy > dapper
[06:53] <bagpuss_thecat> oh
[06:54] <bagpuss_thecat> nalioth: I'll give it a shot, cheers
[06:54] <ompaul> bagpuss_thecat, without extras installed and with a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade on each step - and sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop on each step
[06:54] <bagpuss_thecat> ompaul: I don't have extras, this is a brand new Hoary install, so I could upgrade to Dapper
[06:55] <bagpuss_thecat> since the Dapper installer can't understand software raid
[06:55] <PanicFo> does anyone have experience with xgl/compiz?
[06:55] <PanicFo> i installed it and my box slowed down to a crawl
[06:55] <nalioth> bagpuss_thecat: then you should be fine, just make sure you have ubuntu-desktop installed before upgrading to the next version
[06:55] <jpaisneto> ardchoille: where can i find file-roller? i foun one but was in tar.gz format :S
[06:55] <nalioth> jpaisneto: the one in the repos isn't any good?

[06:57] <LoRez> seriously people, fix your routers or connect to port 8001
[06:57] <synth7> stop.
[06:57] <ardchoille> jpjacobs: file-roller should be Applications -> Accessories -> Archive Manager
[06:57] <nalioth> Amaranth: the perps are not here
[06:57] <Ng> ardchoille: I think it might be hidden by default now
[06:58] <Ng> but you can unhide it with the alacarte menu editor in Applications->Accessories :)
[06:58] <Amaranth> nalioth: they keep coming, doing that, and then getting killed
[06:58] <nalioth> Amaranth: but they aren't DOING it in #ubuntu
[06:58] <Amaranth> nalioth: i thought +r stopped joins
[06:59] <nalioth> Amaranth: +r makes unregistered users join #ubuntu-unregged
[06:59] <lolipod> and +R
[06:59] <nalioth> Amaranth: +R allows only registered users to speak on the channel
[06:59] <Amaranth> nalioth: so these morons register first?
[06:59] <nalioth> Amaranth: they have been registering
[07:00] <Awesome-o2000> xubuntu is meant to be compatible with gnome apps, correct?
[07:00] <stefg> ack
[07:00] <nalioth> Awesome-o2000: you may use anything from the repos with anything from the repos
[07:00] <Amaranth> Awesome-o2000: yeah
[07:00] <hawkaloogie> Awesome-o2000, if you have the gnome libraries, sure

[07:02] <homerh_linux> hiya still cant get upgrades to work now ive tryed unistalling azureus to sort problm but problems fall back to package bum now ;(
[07:02] <stefg> !frostwire
[07:02] <ubotu> frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[07:02] <hawkaloogie> hareem, limewire?
[07:02] <gnomefreak> hareem: frostwire see the above ubotu output for it
[07:02] <hawkaloogie> hareem, you can use limewire on ubuntu, it's written in java
[07:02] <hareem> yeah. I want a p2p software on my pc
[07:03] <hareem> but its not in the repo
[07:03] <homerh_linux> E: The package index files are corrupted. No Filename: field for package bum.   E: Unable to lock the download directory
[07:03] <ardchoille> nalioth: I id with nickserv and check that the id is in effect before joining any channels.
[07:03] <hawkaloogie> hareem, then use frostwire or download the limewire package from limewire's website
[07:03] <apokryphos> weird factoid, limewire is fully open source too
[07:03] <homerh_linux> Is the error im getting now tryed sudo apt-get update but now avail
[07:03] <trogbot> Local printer shows...test print shows going to printer...cups/admin shows complete..no printout..help plz.
[07:04] <nalioth> apokryphos: but limewire retains a "paid version" with more features

[07:04] <CarlFK> ubuntu/Linux's win terminal server client - any way to paste into it?  (the client that comes with win2k doesn't, the one that comes with XP does, so the server side can accept it)

[07:04] <nalioth> skavenge: yes, it is.
[07:04] <ubotu> Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[07:04] <skavenge> nalioth: ah okay

[07:05] <nalioth> ardchoille: that is weird, as #ubuntu is not forwarding anyone now.
[07:05] <ardchoille> Could this be an overflow type of thing
[07:05] <gnomefreak> yeah we are no longer +r
[07:05] <gnomefreak> brb clean out unregged
[07:05] <trogbot> Have read all wiki's, cups docs, etc...goes not help.

[07:18] <xipietotec> Okay...anyone see me?
[07:19] <nalioth> b3nw: we have many happy ops
[07:19] <Seveas> robertj, no and I am too busy right now
[07:19] <robertj> np
[07:19] <b3nw> ;)
[07:19] <b3nw> happy ops are good too :)
[07:19] <ardchoille> Well, the ops in this channel do an outstanding job and I am glad they are here.
[07:20] <gnomefreak> its in there quit messages
[07:20] <xipietotec> ermm....people can see me typing right?
[07:20] <skavenge> nope
[07:21] <nalioth> xipietotec: we see you
[07:21] <skavenge> totally invisible ;)
[07:21] <xipietotec> 'kay.
[07:21] <DoomStone> How where it i can test my fps?
[07:21] <xipietotec> just making sure I wasn't affected by whatever the hell that was
[07:21] <joeljkp> on modern computers, what's a good tolerance for zero? i'm using 1E-10 now
[07:21] <skavenge> nalioth: maybe you guys should put the port 8001 deal in the topic? not that it would get read but ..
[07:22] <xipietotec> My question currently, is where does Mplayer store its codecs?
[07:22] <gnomefreak> skavenge: noone reads topic :(
[07:22] <nalioth> skavenge: this exploit is very old, and the info WAS in the topic when it was fresh
[07:22] <apokryphos> If you cannot send to the channel, please register your nickname, and then you will able to.
[07:22] <apokryphos> !register
[07:22] <mjr> xipietotec, mplayer is a mess, it simply links to the libraries at compile-time
[07:22] <ubotu> Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[07:22] <nalioth> cant speak in #ubuntu ? /msg ubotu register
[07:22] <skavenge> gnomefreak: yeah thats what i meant hah .. maybe add it to the onjoin message?
[07:22] <xipietotec> I'm having trouble reading .wmv's, so I downloaded the codecs...where the hell do I put them?
[07:23] <mjr> (discounting win32 codecs, I bet they'd statically link them if they could legally :] 
[07:23] <LoRez> skavenge: nobody reads those either.
[07:23] <joeljkp> skavenge: what's the 8001 deal?
[07:23] <skavenge> LoRez: lol true
[07:23] <jrib> !w32codecs > xipietotec
[07:23] <Moof> I'm having problems getting my raid to boot up
[07:23] <Moof> or
[07:23] <Moof> er
[07:23] <deFrysk> xipietotec, /usr/lib/win32/
[07:23] <jrib> xipietotec: just use the package
[07:23] <skavenge> joeljkp: keeps you from getting hit by that router exploit if you join freenode on port 8001
[07:23] <Moof> raid-based machine
[07:23] <DoomStone> How is it I can test my fps from a terminal? (The one where 3 weels come up)
[07:23] <xipietotec> ah.... =) Lets try this
[07:23] <joeljkp> skavenge: router exploit?
[07:23] <skavenge> DoomStone: glxgears -printfps
[07:23] <DoomStone> thx
[07:24] <Moof> I think the install rhasn't written enough configuration into /boot to beable to load md0 to create / with
[07:24] <skavenge> joeljkp: sends bad dcc packets to some routers bumping people off, thats what all those mass quits were in here a few minutes ago .. try !exploit for more info
[07:24] <joeljkp> !exploit
[07:24] <ubotu> There are people around who think it is funny to abuse a bug in certain routers by sending invalid DCC commands. If you are bitten by this, please upgrade your router firmware - see also http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2006-1068
[07:24] <DoomStone> 63111 frames in 5.0 seconds = 12622.080 FPS <- Nice :D it is sure better then 8,1 fps :D
[07:24] <nalioth> !dcc > joeljkp
[07:25] <joeljkp> nalioth: not me, apparently
[07:25] <joeljkp> skavenge: i just wish you could joing freenode over ssl
[07:25] <nalioth> joeljkp: !factoid > user is how we get the bot to send private messages
[07:25] <Moof> has anyone here got much experience fiddling with software raid?
[07:26] <skavenge> *shrug* i dont use ssl myself
[07:26] <xipietotec> okay....it seems that only root has access to win32
[07:27] <Moof> joeljkp: why over SSL?
[07:27] <xipietotec> so how how do extract the codecs to win32 from the commandline?
[07:27] <nalioth> !sudo > xipietotec
[07:27] <xipietotec> <----waaaayyyy new at linux
[07:27] <joeljkp> moof: encryption
[07:27] <skavenge> xipietotec: are you using the info from the wiki to install w32codecs?
[07:27] <Moof> joeljkp: yes. what about it?
[07:27] <xipietotec> there's a wiki?
[07:28] <joeljkp> moof: encryption is good?
[07:28] <deFrysk> xipietotec, sudo apt-get install w32codecs
[07:28] <nalioth> xipietotec: oh, yes there is a great grand wiki
[07:28] <Jack_Sparrow> !restricted
[07:28] <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
[07:28] <xipietotec> Um...actually I just downloaded the codecs.
[07:28] <skavenge> xipietotec: uh yeah, wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[07:28] <nalioth> deFrysk: that doesn't work
[07:28] <skavenge> deFrysk: its not in the repos
[07:28] <Moof> joeljkp: so's chocolate. doesn't mean I need to eat chocolate all day.
[07:28] <deFrysk> its not in the repos ?
[07:28] <deFrysk> !info w32codecs
[07:28] <ubotu> Package w32codecs does not exist in dapper
[07:28] <viller> hi
[07:28] <joeljkp> moof: actually, chocolate is bad, it's fattening
[07:28] <deFrysk> ow wrong name :s
[07:28] <javiolo> why did I get 5 ctcp sends from different ppl
[07:28] <metatag> anyone conversant in installing ltsp?
[07:28] <apokryphos> deFrysk: check the FAQ
[07:28] <winman> ubuntu uses metacity ... right?
[07:28] <joeljkp> moof: encryption, however, is not fattening
[07:28] <viller> where can I get the list of channels in freenode? Is there a command for that?
[07:29] <deFrysk> apokryphos, no need
[07:29] <skavenge> winman: yes
[07:29] <nalioth> deFrysk: it's not in the repos due to legalities, check the wiki
[07:29] <XVampireX> I can't record myself in Sound Recorder....
[07:29] <javiolo> viller i think its /list
[07:29] <winman> skavenge, alright great ... thanks :)
[07:29] <XVampireX> Can anyone help me with that?
[07:29] <deFrysk> nalioth, correct , slipped my mind, sorry
[07:29] <jrib> XVampireX: check your microphone isn't muted
[07:29] <Jack_Sparrow> xipietotec: Read that page it is very simple 3 lines to get codecs
[07:29] <ardchoille> How do I move a window without a mouse?
[07:29] <XVampireX> Oh, it shouldn't be muted, okey :D
[07:29] <viller> javiolo: thank you
[07:29] <metatag> I am having trouble starting tftpd from ltspadmin.. can anyone help?
[07:29] <xipietotec> this is the package I installed, its on my desktop  essential-20060611.tar.bz2
[07:30] <Moof> joeljkp: ssl encryption would last as far as freenode's servers. Anyone can read what you say on channels anyway, and you have no control over whether freenode's servers have some sort of MiTM intercept, or some cranivore-like programme anyway.
[07:30] <skavenge> xipietotec: thats not win32codecs, use the wiki
[07:30] <Seveas> xipietotec, delete that and download a w32codecs .deb file from mirror2.ubuntulinux.nl
[07:30] <joeljkp> moof: password encryption?
[07:30] <Jack_Sparrow> xipietotec: Do it our way... Please
[07:30] <nalioth> xipietotec: please see the wiki, you may find more things you would like to install
[07:30] <xipietotec> allright...no problem. =)
[07:30] <jrib> Jack_Sparrow: may I /msg ?
[07:30] <xipietotec> looking through the wiki
[07:30] <Jack_Sparrow> sure
[07:30] <javiolo> viller is it list _ I havent used for years dont remember if its the right command
[07:30] <XVampireX> jrib, wait, no, I just unmuted it, here's what it says: Could not get/set settings from/on resource.
[07:31] <skavenge> xipietotec: its right underneath "win codecs' or whatever, paste the wget line to grab the deb then paste the sudo dpkg line to install
[07:31] <jrib> XVampireX: haven't seen that before
[07:31] <XVampireX> :-/
[07:31] <javiolo> why did I get 5 ctcp sends from different ppl
[07:31] <nalioth> javiolo: don't paste any of them here
[07:31] <Moof> joeljkp: there are better ways to encrypt passowrds
[07:32] <XVampireX> jrib: That's why I hate oss/alsa problems
[07:32] <joeljkp> moof: such as?
[07:32] <nalioth> javiolo: /msg ubotu exploit
[07:32] <javiolo> nalioth Im not going to paste anything
[07:32] <xipietotec> whoa....that's just cut and paste. Killer!
[07:32] <javiolo> nalioth I know pastebin
[07:32] <Jack_Sparrow> xipietotec: See how easy it is..
[07:32] <Moof> joeljkp: well, some form of generic password exchange system based on a script, for example
[07:32] <spangley234> anyone know a good guide for recompiling the kernel in dapper?
[07:32] <nalioth> javiolo: just making sure, we get some very new folks who get attacked and paste the exploit in here asking about it
[07:33] <joeljkp> moof: freenode use anything?
[07:33] <Moof> joeljkp: not AFAIK
[07:33] <xipietotec> God I love this shit. I even got my broadcom wireless thingy working
[07:33] <joeljkp> moof: that was my point all along
[07:33] <xipietotec> if only ATI had good drivers for linux
[07:33] <Moof> joeljkp: you do realise tha SSL connections are much more porcessor-intensive than normal connections, right?
[07:33] <javiolo> nalioth dont know nothing about that exploit, just came back to the comp and I saw that ctcps
[07:33] <xipietotec> =( my other computer will not be doing much with linux
[07:33] <b3nw> apokryphos - whats the syntax of the bans your adding?
[07:33] <joeljkp> moof: i have an extra 3ghz i'm not using right now
[07:33] <xipietotec> thanks guys! =)
[07:34] <Moof> joeljkp: does freenode's server?
[07:34] <joeljkp> moof: hmm, maybe not
[07:34] <Moof> indeed
[07:34] <nalioth> b3nw: those are forwarding bans
[07:34] <XVampireX> Anyone have any idea how do I fix my recording problem?
[07:34] <Innu> Can somebody tell name of ubuntu default mouse pointer theme name?
[07:34] <b3nw> nalioth - can you point me to a place where I can read up about them?
[07:35] <nalioth> b3nw: http://freenode.net/using_the_network.shtml
[07:35] <b3nw> ty
[07:35] <gholen> Hi! I've installed serengeti today, then rebooted, and screen was blank...
[07:35] <javiolo> any idea how my keys are different in the console_
[07:35] <Moof> joeljkp: there are plenty of standard crypto-friendly authentication systems. freenode's source code is, I believe, free. why not plug kerberos or SSH key exhange into it?
[07:35] <gholen> Now, huw do I fix it?
[07:35] <joeljkp> moof: i don't know how?
[07:36] <Moof> joeljkp: personally, I think people wouldn't bother using it.
[07:36] <gholen> bbl
[07:36] <joeljkp> moof: then it wouldn't matter about the extra cpu usage for ssl
[07:36] <Innu> Can somebody tell name of ubuntu default mouse pointer theme name?
[07:36] <xipietotec> err...okay...now mplayer will open .wmv...but its like watching scrambled cable
[07:37] <xipietotec> do I have to reboot or something?
[07:37] <Moof> joeljkp: freenode can't get rid of the plaintext password system. and don't want people using SSL. so how do solve this problem?
[07:37] <nalioth> xipietotec: some more modern windows media will not play no matter what you do
[07:37] <KoMpLoT> Hi all
[07:37] <joeljkp> moof: start letting people use ssl
[07:37] <nalioth> xipietotec: you never have to reboot again (unless you 'want' to)
[07:37] <KoMpLoT> would like to know if there's a way to know which proccess is using a partition, so I can kill it in order to unmount it...
[07:37] <Moof> joeljkp: they don't want people using SSL. it's ahuge resource drain
[07:37] <xipietotec> anything to take say the more modern .wmv file and convert it to something readable?
[07:38] <xipietotec> I know DRM managed stuff usually doesn't work right?
[07:38] <javiolo> any idea why my keyboard is different in the console_
[07:38] <joeljkp> moof: but you said nobody used it
[07:38] <nalioth> xipietotec: that is the subject for another channel
[07:39] <xipietotec> gotcha
[07:39] <Moof> joeljkp: no, I said that nobody would use a non-plaintext passwrod system

[07:42] <Seveas> amortvigil, exactly what it says: a duplicate sources.list entry
[07:42] <Awesome-o2000> hmm firefox doesnt load as fast as gentoo.
[07:43] <Awesome-o2000> not a biggie
[07:43] <Awesome-o2000> I have to test out mplayer
[07:43] <yggdrasil> man, i want to use evolution as opposed to tbird because it has a calendar and tasks but it just cant  deal with the junkmail that i get. anyone have a solution for evolution junkmail?
[07:43] <Tommy2k4> configure: error: QTDIR must be properly set.
[07:43] <Tommy2k4> how do i set that
[07:43] <Tommy2k4> and where is it likely to be?
[07:43] <amortvigil> Seveas yeah i think there is a soursessave.list just delete it?
[07:44] <arepie> hello..
[07:44] <Awesome-o2000> I have to test cedega too - my results so far have been less than satisfactory
[07:44] <Moof> guys, does anyone know abotu software raid?
[07:44] <arepie> is ubuntu have problem with wireless network?
[07:44] <apokryphos> Tommy2k4: what program wants QTDIR to be declared?
[07:44] <skavenge> nope
[07:45] <Tommy2k4> djplay
[07:45] <amortvigil> Seveas gefikst, fixed

Any echo about Ubuntu6.02 ?
[07:45] <arepie> does ubuntu support all kind of wireless network?
[07:45] <apokryphos> Tommy2k4: export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt3

[07:45] <Seveas> arepie, with different degrees of troube
[07:46] <Seveas> gean, there is no 6.epsilon...
[07:46] <gean> seveas: there is some 6.02... was my add after the dot, sorry
[07:46] <Midknight> Does anyone know if its possible too play Itunes bought music under ubuntu
[07:47] <Moof> Midknight: no
[07:47] <Tommy2k4> because drm is the devil
[07:47] <gean> anyhow, upgrading was unsuccesful, i'll try it again...
[07:47] <skavenge> gean: 6.06? never seen 6.02
[07:48] <Seveas> gean, there is no 6.02 either...
[07:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Midknight: what format is the mucis in mp3 ogg
[07:48] <Jack_Sparrow> music
[07:49] <Midknight> Jack_sparrow .m4p
[07:49] <Midknight> Its DRM crap so didn't think it was possible, but you never know unless you ask
[07:49] <Jack_Sparrow> You might search for a converter
[07:49] <javiolo> I think that would not be legal...
[07:50] <Midknight> How could it not be legal to convert your own data
[07:50] <gholen> anyone here knows how get rid of files not needed in /root
[07:50] <skavenge> yeah i have a hard time believing apple would put up with something like that without the people getting thier pants sued off but who knows
[07:50] <gean> skavenge, seveas : sorry, there was some 6.0? that appeared some seconds in a Error window... Now the window is back, indeed : 6.06 LST ... i'll try the upgrade once again !
[07:50] <javiolo> !drm
[07:50] <ubotu> I know nothing about drm - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[07:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Midknight: I just googled and found a ton of converters
[07:51] <Midknight> Jack, most only work with the old versions
[07:51] <Jack_Sparrow> ah
[07:51] <deFrysk> gholen, how do you know they are not needed ?
[07:51] <Jack_Sparrow> That is the joy of a restricted format
[07:51] <gean> it works pretty good: Preparing to upgrade done
[07:51] <gholen> deFrysk: Like when you download from apt-mirrors and they stay?
[07:52] <deFrysk> gholen, sudo apt-get clean
[07:52] <james> trying to install dapper, screen goes fuzzy after selecting install, says something about pci can,t make it out.. Any ideas?? Help!
[07:52] <Innu> Can somebody tell name of ubuntu default mouse pointer theme name?
[07:52] <mnk> does anyone know how to increase / decrease volume from the command line?
[07:52] <Tommy2k4> how come on a fresh install of kubuntu i tried to apt-get install firefox and it asked for the cd?
[07:52] <gean> it works pretty good: Modifying the software channels.. window crash .. hm
[07:52] <Tommy2k4> do you need to apt-get update before trying
[07:52] <Seveas> Innu, "human"
[07:52] <apokryphos> mnk: alsamixer in terminal
[07:52] <jrib> Tommy2k4: the cd is in your repository list
[07:53] <gholen> deFrysk: done that, did free 19 meg
[07:53] <Innu> seveas, can you tell me where could i get it? Im using debian gnome
[07:53] <deFrysk> gholen, :)
[07:53] <Tommy2k4> well that sucks
[07:53] <javiolo> I have problems typing in the console, seems some keys are changed is that normal _
[07:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Tommy2k4: why you can get Firfox a bunch of ways
[07:53] <Tommy2k4> i know im just wonderng why it would ask for a cd
[07:54] <Tommy2k4> my pc has never done that
[07:54] <brachetour> I'm trying to install  the package 'rosegarden4' on a new install of dapper.  The package appears on packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/sound, but does not appear in synaptic.  What gives?
[07:54] <Tommy2k4> doesnt it make sense to check the repos and if its not there THEN ask for cd?
[07:54] <mnk> apokryphos, how do i quit from it?
[07:54] <apokryphos> mnk: as it says at the top, press Esc
[07:54] <Seveas> Innu, I'll have a look
[07:54] <Innu> okey
[07:55] <DoomStone> Can one tell me what the bar at the bottom of the pic (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/pre2/40351-2.jpg) is called?
[07:55] <mnk> cool
[07:55] <Jack_Sparrow> Tommy2k4:  it makes more sence to get it locally when it is supplied and free up the servers
[07:55] <mnk> thanks apokryphos
[07:55] <mnk> :)
[07:55] <mnk> now that IS COOL
[07:55] <gean> upgrading to 6.06: ok, synaptic started, mark all upgrades checked, to be removed a lot of stuff, (including python... the sage software = computer algebra sys will complain maybe..) shall i remove ALL THAT STUFF ?! Please don't let me suffer alone !
[07:55] <Tommy2k4> quite likely to be an older version on the cd though
[07:55] <Jack_Sparrow> DoomStone:  gdesklets
[07:55] <Tommy2k4> checking for jack >= 0.80.0... Package jack was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `jack.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'jack' found
[07:55] <Tommy2k4> how i do that?
[07:56] <DoomStone> thx
[07:56] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[07:56] <apokryphos> Tommy2k4: make sure you have the necessary package installed (search at packages.ubuntu.com) and then export just like before
[07:56] <apokryphos> though you probably don't need to export it, you probably just need the relevant package
[07:57] <gholen> deFrysk: did some rm now, 619 meg free :D
[07:57] <Seveas> Innu, it's in the ubuntu-artwork package
[07:57] <Moof> any sw raid geeks here?
[07:57] <deFrysk> gholen, dont distroy your os with blind removing
[07:58] <gean> upgrading to 6.06: ok, i'll suffer alone, stuff is getting installed ! wish me luck !
[07:58] <Jack_Sparrow> FYI I just took a program in Visual Basic compiled it in RealBasic under Ubuntu and ran it on multiple Ubuntu computers with different hardware.  Very cool.
[07:58] <Tommy2k4> i have it apokryphos
[07:59] <apokryphos> Tommy2k4: the package? Then reconfigure and things should be fine
[07:59] <Tommy2k4> i had jack before configuring
[07:59] <ardchoille> Jack_Sparrow: I've always suspected that VB is nothing more than a gui front-end to BASIC
[07:59] <Tommy2k4> then again the jack that this app is looking for is a much older version
[07:59] <apokryphos> Tommy2k4: but did you have the relevant package which provides jack.pc ?
[07:59] <Tommy2k4> wouldnt that come with jack
[08:00] <brachetour> Jack_Sparrow: Any reasons why a package would be available on packages.ubuntu.com/dapper, but not show up in synaptic or w/apt ?
[08:00] <javiolo> do realbasic still existing _
[08:00] <apokryphos> Tommy2k4: search packages.ubuntu.com to see what package provides that file, and then see if you have that package
[08:00] <Jack_Sparrow> brachetour: not really
[08:00] <shiv> how do I make the LCD/CRT button work on my laptop for use with a projector?
[08:01] <gean> brachetour: maybe there all repositories needed (uni- & multiverse...)
[08:01] <Jack_Sparrow> javiolo: RealBasic 2006 for Linux is free...
[08:01] <brachetour> gean: it's in [universe] 
[08:01] <gholen> deFrysk: I know
[08:01] <javiolo> jack_sparrow wow havent used basic for ages...
[08:01] <gholen> Bin there, done that
[08:01] <brachetour> gean: well, that's what I'm guessing from the way the entry is colored.
[08:02] <Jack_Sparrow> javiolo: THere is so much source code out there in VB it would be great to be able to use it..
[08:02] <DarkJesus> Does anyone know of any swiftfox packages?
[08:03] <gean> brachetour: some computer algebra systems also got other status and repository, was feeling the same some months ago...
[08:03] <peanutb> DarkJesus, i know automatix installs it
[08:03] <DarkJesus> Is it?
[08:04] <brachetour> gean: ah, okay.  Perhaps I just need to configure the right lines in sources.list
[08:04] <peanutb> yes i think its a package just a sec
[08:04] <DarkProphet> hi all, how can i get ubuntu's kernel to work in SMP ?
[08:04] <DarkProphet> at the moment...it hasn't detected that its SMP
[08:04] <Innu> seveas, thanks, got my mouse icon
[08:04] <nalioth> DarkProphet: use synaptic and install an smp kernel
[08:05] <DarkProphet> nalioth: if I do that...i get a kernel panic
[08:05] <kristian> Is there WIndows Media Player for linux ubuntu?
[08:05] <brachetour> gean: I'm used to debian's repository listings, and I figured that "universe" mean "universally available" or something
[08:05] <Jack_Sparrow> kristian: what file types
[08:05] <DarkProphet> kristian: wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[08:05] <Jack_Sparrow> !restricted
[08:05] <DoomStone> Can one tell me what the bar at the bottom center of the pic (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/pre2/40351-2.jpg) is called? (the one with the icons) i don't think it is gdesklets

[08:05] <nalioth> DarkProphet: then i'm at a loss on this
[08:05] <dribble> i don't need klogd and syslogd running do i?
[08:06] <DarkProphet> nalioth: the amd64-generic is SMP right ?
[08:06] <nalioth> DarkProphet: no, you need something with -smp- in it
[08:06] <DarkProphet> theres nothing there
[08:06] <Tommy2k4> ty apokryphos
[08:06] <thundr> Hi, how do I add a user to the sudoers via the command line?
[08:06] <kristian> it's a norwegian newspage, and a video from tour de france, I want to see :) But when I'm trying to install "missing plugins" I been sendt over to a windows page for dowloading.
[08:06] <peanutb> DarkJesus, actually no install instructions are here: http://mjg.notlong.com
[08:06] <DarkProphet> i had the k7 one on
[08:07] <DarkProphet> and the -smp caused a kernel panic
[08:07] <nalioth> DarkProphet: try searching packages.ubuntu.com as there are several SMP kernels available
[08:07] <DarkProphet> ive since installed the amd64
[08:07] <kristian> There is Mac download
[08:07] <jrib> thundr: just add the user to the admin group, the admin group is in sudoers by default
[08:07] <kristian> Well I'll take a look at resctricted format
[08:07] <gean> brachetour : there is the multiverse more than the universe... i use synaptic (but edit sources.list by myself) try to decomment most entries (there will be maybe some duplicate entries, but they can be easily fixed after).
[08:07] <thundr> jrib: so how do I add the user to the admin group? :)
[08:07] <jrib> thundr: sudo adduser user_name admin
[08:08] <klm-> what's the boot option for plain Terminal (when booting from the ubuntu cd)?
[08:08] <nalioth> thundr: system > admin > users and groups
[08:08] <nalioth> jrib: think GUI
[08:08] <thundr> nalioth: sorry, I've only got the command line only
[08:08] <jrib> nalioth: he said cli :)
[08:08] <thundr> jrib: this will work for an existing user?
[08:08] <nalioth> jrib: ah, my bad, i missed the cli comment
[08:09] <epimer> hi
[08:09] <thundr> hi
[08:09] <jrib> thundr: well expert installs I believe do not have the admin line in there, but you can check by taking a quick look in your /etc/sudoers.  But yes, it will work for an existing user provided that line is in there
[08:09] <gean> kristian : the norw page considers by default that only W* exists (my guess), same happens to me when trying to listen music, get the address first and manually give it to xmms... no help, but try to figure out the url
[08:10] <DarkProphet> nalioth: is linux-image-2.6.15-26-k8-smp good enough ?
[08:10] <jrib> thundr: this is what my sudoers looks like: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7021
[08:10] <epimer> if i remove grub (it's broken - i messed it up) in synaptic, then do a clean install, will it work straight away on rebooting or will it need configuration?
[08:10] <nalioth> DarkProphet: that should work on your amd hardware
[08:10] <DarkProphet> in that case...brb...rebooting :)
[08:11] <gean> epimer : in bad case, take a ubuntu install or live at hand and perform only the grub install step
[08:12] <kristian> gean: ok, I think I understand. The page believs that I'm on Windows...? What you mean? About the url.
[08:12] <klm-> what's the boot parameter for plain Terminal (when booting from the ubuntu cd)?
[08:12] <thundr> jrib: what is the !fqdn in your sudoers file (under defaults)?  I don't have that in mine.
[08:12] <Leonox> hi
[08:12] <epimer> gean, thing is, i have an odd setup now
[08:12] <Huh1> hello. is anybody in here willing to spend some 10 minutes to help me and make me a happier person? my sound is buggy. it will only run in certain apps. ie. flashvideos sometimes play sound and sometimes don't. it was all caused because I installed some **** stuff in automatix. do you have any solutions how I can solve this problem?
[08:13] <epimer> i have a clean install of ubuntu on another partition on the same drive as this installation, because i couldn't fix grub
[08:13] <Leonox> does anybody knows how can i add a character to a key in my keyboard?
[08:13] <brachetour> thundr: help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[08:13] <brachetour> thundr: sudo adduser $user admin
[08:13] <thundr> thanks, brachetour
[08:13] <gean> kristian: well, for xmms i have to type by my own hand: command line: xmms www.radio3net.andsoon & /// u could start the viewer also by hand (maybe)
[08:13] <epimer> but when i rebooted, i had a working grub (i assume from the clean install) so could boot to this (my old) ubuntu install
[08:14] <jrib> thundr: my default sudoers is from a hoary install, that's probably why yours is different, man sudoers has an explanation for what it is for
[08:14] <epimer> but i want to reformat the partition with the clean install on it, yet have a working grub
[08:14] <Leonox> like add a euro character to the key E?
[08:14] <andrea> Ehy
[08:14] <cotroler> hi
[08:14] <thundr> jrib: yeah, I'm running warty right now :P
[08:14] <kristian> gean: Ok:) I'll try it later;P

[08:15] <Vilkacis> I 'updated' Ubuntu, left it overnight to apply all the changes, and when I woke up it was displaying a black screen. When I restarted, it can't start up the graphical interface and crashes to a command line interface, which I have only limited ability to use. I cannot even ping the gateway anymore. My current plan is to save the information I have on this server onto my current machine, hopefully via FTP, and then just re-install the whole thing from a f
[08:15] <thundr> jrib: I get "The group 'admin' doesn't exist" when I try adduser
[08:16] <Vilkacis> But I have no idea how to work the command line interface to get that far.
[08:16] <brachetour> thundr: the magic under the hood is that you're adding the user to the admin group in /etc/group
[08:16] <DarkProphet> nalioth: thanks...but gnome is still saying i only have 1 Cpu
[08:16] <jrib> thundr: did you do an expert install?
[08:16] <DarkProphet> any idea how to see how many cpus i have besides the system monitor ?

[08:16] <Leonox> help with the configuration of my keyboard....
[08:17] <gean> epimer : i think, grub installs in MBR and has to know only something about the location of /boot ... put eventually boot at the correct place (some partition that will survive the cleaner)
[08:17] <DarkProphet> MarcN: says "cpu cores: 1"
[08:17] <nalioth> DarkProphet: open a terminal and type "top" and see what that says

[08:17] <Leonox> i need to add a character to an arbitrary key
[08:17] <thundr> jrib: no, I didn't, but my install went a little funky after it was 95% done.  The default user didn't have a /home directory and it wasn't part of sudoers.  That's all the problems I've noticed so far.  I can get into gnome.
[08:18] <brachetour> thundr: my /etc/group file has a line like this:  admin:x:<group-id>:brachetour

[08:18] <user-land> Hello, what channel should i consult if i want to see the CPU temperature through my ASUS board ?
[08:18] <brachetour> thundr: if you can add in the admin group, then add the user to the group, you should be fine.
[08:18] <jrib> thundr: k, but you do have the %admin line in your sudoers that I mentioned before?
[08:18] <MarcN> DarkProphet: that is how many cores that physical cpu has.  do this:    grep -C ^processor /proc/cpuinfo
[08:18] <thundr> jrib, yes
[08:18] <Vilkacis> Stormx2: Something about not being able to start the graphic interface.
[08:18] <Stormx2> Vilkacis: OK.
[08:19] <Vilkacis> Stormx2: I'm re-starting again to try to get the exact wording.
[08:19] <MarcN> DarkProphet: that gives you the number of running cores running.
[08:19] <Stormx2> Vilkacis: Do you not have another partition on the machine?

[08:19] <thundr> brachetour: how do I know the group id?
[08:19] <jrib> thundr: as root, or with sudo: addgroup --system admin && adduser user_name admin
[08:19] <Stormx2> Vilkacis: Hmm.
[08:19] <thundr> jrib: with user_name being the name I want to add.
[08:19] <DarkProphet> MarcN: grep: ^processor: invalid context length argument
[08:19] <MarcN> DarkProphet:  make that lowercase -c

[08:20] <DarkProphet> ah
[08:20] <jrib> thundr: right
[08:20] <Vilkacis> Stormx2: I am a rookie when it comes to Linux, but I have good general computer knowledge. I've set up an FTP before.
[08:20] <DarkProphet> MarcN: 1 is the answer
[08:20] <Stormx2> Vilkacis: OK, well there is a guide to set up an ftp server
[08:20] <Stormx2> !ftp
  FTP clients: gftp, konqueror, kbear, nautilus. FTP servers: ftpd, proftpd, pure-ftpd, twoftpd, vsftpd
[08:20] <brachetour> thundr: ? -- just add the group using addgroup.  You might be able to get away with picking a number, but using the tools is probably cleaner
[08:20] <illatitante> why when i install ubuntu from the flashdisk appear that the image of kernel isn't founded?
[08:20] <DarkProphet> lets try that with amd64-generic....brb
[08:20] <Stormx2> Vilkacis: Ah that didn't help
[08:20] <MarcN> DarkProphet: I have a 4CPU Opteron that has effectively 8 cores
[08:20] <thundr> jrib, brachetour, looks like it worked.  Thanks for your help.
[08:20] <DarkProphet> oh ok
[08:20] <Vilkacis> Stormx2: The problem system has one, yes. But I can only get to a command line, and I have about 3-4+ gigs worth of stuff to back up.
[08:20] <Stormx2> Vilkacis: ubuntuforums.org
[08:20] <DarkProphet> what image do you use ?
[08:20] <MarcN> DarkProphet: are you running an SMP kernel?
[08:21] <Stormx2> Vilkacis: Right, That just your home dir?
[08:21] <illatitante> i use the italian version of ubuntu
[08:21] <DarkProphet> i just installed linux-image-amd64-k8-smp
[08:21] <brachetour> thundr: no prob.
[08:21] <Vilkacis> Stormx2: When I ping my gateway, I cannot reach it. Setting up an FTP might not work yet.

[08:31] <emil> But does anyone knows a good codec pack
[08:32] <saiko> any help or guide where to look on orpheus ?
[08:32] <Stormx2> Vilkacis: its only about 40mb and its a life saver with partitioning issues
[08:32] <Vilkacis> Stormx2: OK, I think it is working. I've got the GNU listed.
[08:32] <emil> ubotu: codec pack
[08:32] <ubotu> I know nothing about codec pack - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[08:32] <Vilkacis> Stormx2: I've got a (parted) command line.
[08:32] <jrib> !codec > emil

[08:32] <wheels3572> Can anyone tell me the pastebin website addy please?
[08:32] <Stormx2> Vilkacis: Basicly resize your existing fs, create a new fat parition which is big enough, then go back into ubuntu and copy your music / home directories to the the new partition
[08:32] <jrib> tailsfan: you have 7.8-1.1 now?

[08:33] <dswillia74437> lol thx~
[08:33] <wheels3572> Thanks Jrib

[08:34] <emil> I'm not very good with Linux, how do I get an working Codec pack
[08:34] <emil> plz
[08:34] <Stormx2> emil: For god sake, read the links you've got sent.
[08:34] <emil> Yes
[08:34] <Vilkacis> Stormx2: Everytime I stick the CD in and install, it insists that I repartition the entire harddrive.
[08:34] <emil> But my English is bad also, i'm dutch
[08:34] <Stormx2> Vilkacis: No, it doesn't.
[08:34] <Stormx2> Vilkacis: What version
[08:34] <Stormx2> Vilkacis: Dapper?
[08:34] <jrib> emil: http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats read both of those, and you are in good shape
[08:35] <emil> -jrib-: I Allready tried w32codecs
[08:35] <Stormx2> emil: Thats not what you need
[08:35] <Vilkacis> Stormx2: That's what I was running. Then I ran the update manager, thinking that might solve some of the problems I was having (sudo was not working, for instance) and now NOTHING works.
[08:35] <Stormx2> emil: You need libcss2 or something like that

[08:35] <Stormx2> Vilkacis: Eek.
[08:35] <Vilkacis> Stormx2: Can I download a new version of Ubuntu and re-install over this one WITHOUT destroying my home directory?
[08:35] <madhu> hi
[08:35] <Vilkacis> Stormx2: Is THAT an option?
[08:35] <Stormx2> Vilkacis: Might be work running "sudo aptitude" or "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"

[08:36] <thundr> jrib, still no luck, it said group added and user added but now it says that the user isn't in the sudoers file.
[08:37] <madhu> f1 f2 f3...
[08:37] <tailsfan> The reason why I'm upgrading snd is because I installed ALSA and I still don't get no sound
[08:37] <Stormx2> madhu: Those are nothing to do with microsoft
[08:37] <Stormx2> madhu: What would you like them to do?
[08:37] <emil> Stormx2: I only got some information about Codecs for Gstreamer, but i do not have gstreamer, Totem i've got
[08:37] <madhu> stormx2: thats an application dependent
[08:38] <madhu> stormx2: For ex. in intellij F3 is search
[08:38] <Stormx2> emil: gstreamer is a music backend for totem
[08:38] <emil> ok
[08:38] <Stormx2> emil: If you have totem-gstreamer installed, then you can use gstreamer plugins
[08:38] <emil> i will install gstreamer first
[08:38] <Stormx2> emil: Chances are its already installed.
[08:38] <tailsfan> well gnomefreak, what packagedo you reccomend to download

[08:39] <tailsfan> snd
[08:39] <Vilkacis> Stormx2: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade told me to run something else manually, and I am doing that. It's doing something.
[08:39] <jrib> thundr: did you logout and log back in?
[08:39] <Vilkacis> ...god I'm helpless. >_<
[08:39] <Stormx2> Vilkacis: lol, you'll be fine!

[08:39] <gnomefreak> tailsfan: try apt-cache search snd     ive never had to deal with it but that should list everything to do with snd

[08:41] <Shinaku> Hello - I've just apt-get install'ed KDE for a play around with, and for some reason the QT apps don't minimise to the KDE system tray, they make a little window for them selves, where as the GTK apps quite happily use the KDE system tray

[08:42] <salaud> can anyone even point me to the right place to get help with udev/boot  /dev startup issues?

[08:42] <cytrak> hey guys I just created a ubuntu dapper image with a compiled kernel for a soekris 4801 board that has openvpn and other tools and it's made for a 512MB flash
[08:42] <Stormx2> emil: rebooting is only necessery when you install a new version of libc or kernel
[08:43] <cytrak> do you guys know any location I can post that image so if others need it
[08:43] <emil> stormx2: Woohoo, you're great, it works
[08:43] <illatitante> why when start the boot from the flashdisk appear that the kernel image isn't founded (please respond me in query)
[08:43] <cytrak> it's based on pyramid linux kernel and other info

[08:43] <Jack_Sparrow> wheels3572: did you run that cd live?
[08:43] <DoomStone> How can i install GTK2 to my ubuntu? i think it is runnung 1.2
[08:43] <thundr> jrib: I'll have to restart
[08:43] <jrib> thundr: why?
[08:43] <Stormx2> wheels3572: You get the error when booting the live cd, or once you've installed and you try to boot ubuntu from hdd?
[08:44] <Awesome-o2000> pshaw i'd be stoked to be running 1.2, then I could get gyache to run properly
[08:44] <wheels3572> I downloaded the 6.06 Dapper CD from the download of Ubuntu and it worked the first time around
[08:44] <Raystonatwork> I  only have like 600 mb left on my primary HD, is there any way, when installing stuff from synaptic to tell it to install to a hd other than my primary??
[08:44] <thundr> jrib: because that's the only user and it doesn't have root priv. Also, root is disabled.
[08:44] <Stormx2> wheels3572: Do you get the error when booting the live cd, or when booting your ubuntu installation?
[08:44] <jrib> thundr: ah ok...

[08:45] <Stormx2> wheels3572: There are a few reasons for this
[08:45] <Adam_G> hello all, I have a quick question. For some reason I have two "device" sections in my xorg.conf, with two seperate drivers listed. is there a command I can use to find which one my comp is using?
[08:45] <illatitante> why when start the boot from the flashdisk appear that the kernel image isn't founded (please respond me in query)
[08:45] <adam_> does ne 1 no how 2 run terminal commands when ubuntu starts up? and can sombody answer this time please coz i got work 2 fin
[08:45] <Jack_Sparrow> wheels3572: have you tried that cd on a different pc?
[08:46] <wheels3572> Nope but I could try it
[08:46] <Stormx2> wheels3572: 1) The iso you downloaded is incomplete/corrupt 2) It was a "bad burn" 3) cd is scratched
[08:46] <Stormx2> wheels3572: Did you download the cd or order it?
[08:46] <aqau_inter_fly> hello everyone
[08:46] <Stormx2> hi aqau_inter_fly!
[08:46] <wheels3572> Stormx2:  I downloaded
[08:46] <Stormx2> wheels3572: Right, you need to verify the .iso
[08:46] <aqau_inter_fly> I am installing ubuntu right now on my other PC
[08:46] <adam_> hello aqua dude
[08:46] <Stormx2> wheels3572: Do you still have the .iso file?
[08:46] <aqau_inter_fly> but I'm havig a probluem
[08:46] <Stormx2> wheels3572: Whats the problem?
[08:46] <wheels3572> Stormx2:  Yeah I do
[08:46] <Stormx2> Wait, wrong person
[08:47] <Stormx2> aqau_inter_fly, whats the problem?
[08:47] <aqau_inter_fly> When i go to edit partitioin table, it all freezes up and i can't do anything
[08:47] <adam_> suk
[08:47] <fowlduck> 1337
[08:47] <Adam_G> adam_, it should be possible to do a startup script...
[08:47] <ubuntu> hello :)..! can anyone tell me how do i connect to the internet using my laptops wireless card :S! thanks..!
[08:47] <Vilkacis> Stormx2: OK, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade lists a lot of 'Depends' but ultimately does not do anything.
[08:47] <Stormx2> aqau_inter_fly: Lot of people have that problem, I recommend you use the gparted live cd to resize partitions etc, and leave unallocated space where you want the ubuntu installation to create partitions
[08:47] <Adam_G> adam_, under /usr/share/xsessions/(session name) you can see the name of the scipt your comp executes upon starting
[08:47] <adam_> adam_g: hows do i do that
[08:48] <ballpointcarrot> Adam_G: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | less
[08:48] <Stormx2> Vilkacis: Hmm.
[08:48] <Adam_G> ballpointcarrot, thank you so much
[08:48] <Stormx2> Vilkacis: Run sudo aptitude. See if there are any broken packages
[08:48] <aqau_inter_fly> stormx2: Okay, so then when i got to install ubuntu i just tell it to install on the largest free space?
[08:48] <ballpointcarrot> Adam_G: it's a bit of digging through the log, but you'll find it.
[08:48] <Nookie> hi.. i want to create shortcut to one program running with wine.. i have writen command wine /home/me/run.exe but it wont start... what should the command be to start that application??
[08:49] <Stormx2> aqau_inter_fly: Yep!
[08:49] <Adam_G> adam_, just use nautilus to go to /usr/share/xessions/(sesssionname) (probably GNOME)
[08:49] <aqau_inter_fly> Stormx2: where do i get this live cd from?
[08:49] <Stormx2> aqau_inter_fly: Thats what I had to do with my friends laptop, the ubuntu installer needs work
[08:49] <Stormx2> aqau_inter_fly: Just google "gparted live cd"
[08:49] <Vilkacis> Stormx2: Define 'broken packages'. How do I find them?
[08:49] <Adam_G> adam_, open the script in mousepad and find exec=(this is what you want)
[08:49] <Stormx2> Vilkacis; Should be an option in the menus somewhere
[08:49] <illatitante> who want help me??????????????????
[08:49] <Stormx2> Vilkacis: Basicly some packages may not have been installed etc
[08:50] <Stormx2> illatitante: What is your question?
[08:50] <Vilkacis> Stormx2: Upgradable, New, Installed, Not Installed, Obsolete and Locally Created, Virtual, and then "tasks"
[08:50] <aqau_inter_fly> Stormx2: I am running windows on that computer also...Is there any way to get a partitioning program (free) that I can run in windows?
[08:50] <srikanth> can any one tell the cmd how to restore the data from recyclebin .....?
[08:50] <Stormx2> aqau_inter_fly: partition magic is the best one, pm me ;-)
[08:50] <adam_> Adam_g:hey im only 14 and im new 2 ubuntu and i hav no idea what a "nautilus" is or what it does
[08:50] <adam_> or were 2 find it
[08:50] <Adam_G> adam_, it's the file browser. Like windows explorer
[08:51] <Stormx2> Vilkacis; Ah I don't know....
[08:51] <Jack_Sparrow> aqau_inter_fly: Get the Universal Boot CD
[08:51] <Vilkacis> Stormx2: And I cannot connect to the internet to get new ones.
[08:51] <adam_> Adam_goh ok i undersatnd
[08:51] <srikanth> can any one tell the cmd how to restore the data from recyclebin .....?
[08:51] <tailsfan> Can Partition be copied to a floppy
[08:51] <tailsfan> Partition Magic*
[08:51] <Lynoure> srikanth: I'm on kubuntu, not ubunt at the moment, but I'd guess it to have an 'Open in new window' in the context menu.
[08:51] <Stormx2> hey Jack_Sparrow, did your mum get out of hospital?
[08:51] <aqau_inter_fly> stormx2: I have to register in order to pm
[08:51] <XVampireX> adam_, nautilus is the file manager
[08:51] <Jack_Sparrow> In nursing home
[08:51] <Jack_Sparrow> THanks for asking
[08:51] <XVampireX> Well, the desktop enviornment, actually, hehe
[08:51] <Stormx2> tailsfan: No, its a windows program
[08:51] <tailsfan> Oh
[08:52] <mc44> Is there a package that will keep track of total internet traffic that I use?
[08:52] <phoul> Hey guys
[08:52] <srikanth> Lynoure, i am askin g about command
[08:52] <phoul> A friend of mine is installing ubuntu tonight and he has a radeon card
[08:52] <srikanth> Lynoure, do u know it..?
[08:52] <Vilkacis> Stormx2: I think it is updating some things, I'll see what happens after that.
[08:52] <phoul> Is there another driver he can use thats built in?
[08:52] <phoul> Besides fglrx?
[08:52] <Stormx2> Vilkacis: Otherwise, ubuntuforums.org
[08:52] <Adam_G> btw, I'm running xubuntu, so if anyone is following along in gnome, correct me if I get a filename wrong...
[08:52] <ballpointcarrot> phoul: how old is the card?
[08:52] <lz1gjd> hi, im trying to get my tv out working on ubuntu dapper with xgl working, is it possible to make videos appear only on second screen (tv) ?
[08:53] <Lynoure> srikanth: a commandline command? I'm not sure such thing exists... especially as if you rm things, they're gone, not in the trash.
[08:53] <Stormx2> Adam_G: For what, nautilus?
[08:53] <phoul> radeon 7000 series
[08:53] <phoul> Thats his card
[08:53] <Stormx2> phoul: Does the live cd boot / look ok on his display?
[08:53] <srikanth> Lynoure, there is no cmd to retrive the data?
[08:53] <phoul> Stormx2 no idea he hasnt booted it
[08:53] <phoul> Hes using the alt install cd
[08:54] <elfshadow14> Would anyone know how to put flashplayer on 64bit ubuntu?
[08:54] <ballpointcarrot> phoul: not enough mem for the livecd?
[08:54] <Stormx2> phoul: The text-install cd? >.< use the standard install, if the display is right on that it'll definately work after the install
[08:54] <Adam_G> Stormx2, for example the /xsessions file in xfce is xfce session but in gnome it's just GNOME
[08:54] <srikanth> Lynoure, Because i use this rm *.* in a folder
[08:54] <Adam_G> adam_, lemme know when you're at /usr/share/xsessions
[08:54] <mc44> or does anyone know of any other way I can keep tabs on how much of my internet usage allowance I've used
[08:55] <adam_> Adam_g: u lost me ages ago
[08:55] <Stormx2> mc44: Not sure... maybe ask in ##linux
[08:55] <Adam_G> ok, reply to my PM
[08:55] <gatekeeper> elfshadow14: I am glad you asked :-) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava
[08:55] <ballpointcarrot> mc44: ifconfig
[08:55] <elfshadow14> thankyou
[08:55] <gatekeeper> elfshadow14: yw :-)
[08:55] <srikanth> can any one tell how to retrive the date which is deleted by rm *.*
[08:55] <ballpointcarrot> mc44: it'll tell you the amount of bandwidth passed through.
[08:56] <Lynoure> srikanth: rm'd stuff does not even go to Trash, they just get deleted. So looking at the trash can does not help. There are ways to try to retrieve them, but rule one of such operations is not to do disk things on that computer before you get the files...
[08:56] <adam_> Adam_g: umm wtf a PM?
[08:56] <poningru_> !upgrade
[08:56] <ubotu> Upgrading to Ubuntu 5.10 breezy -> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade  Upgrading to Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades  Note: gksudo "update-manager -d" always updates to the latest development version.
[08:56] <mc44> ballpointcarrot, I really need something which keeps a persistent track across reboots
[08:56] <Lynoure> adam_: that's /msg  for us oldtimers :)
[08:56] <ballpointcarrot> ah...  don't believe I know of anything that does that.
[08:56] <mc44> ballpointcarrot, maybe I just shouldnt reboot then :)
[08:56] <tailsfan> What is the latest version of gstreamer?
[08:57] <Adam_G> adam_, sorry, I forgot I haven't registered this nick...
[08:57] <Vilkacis> Stormx2: IT WORKS!
[08:57] <gatekeeper> poningru_: best way to update is using the update-manager (at least it was the most successfull for me)
[08:57] <ballpointcarrot> mc44: sounds good in theory; in practice... :)
[08:57] <Vilkacis> Stormx2: It may stop working and I have no idea if the network works, but I've got GUI!
[08:57] <BLuNT187> Anyone know how difficult it is to add resolutions in ubuntu?
[08:57] <aqau_inter_fly> Stormx2: did you get my pm
[08:57] <DarkProphet> MarcN: so you dont have any idea how I can fix this ?
[08:57] <pike_> BLuNT187: very easy
[08:57] <Stormx2> Vilkacis: Really?
[08:57] <tailsfan> !gstreamer
[08:57] <poningru_> gatekeeper: hehe yeah but helping out another guy help his sister, /me is already running dapper
[08:57] <Stormx2> Vilkacis: Wow!
[08:57] <ubotu> I know nothing about gstreamer - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[08:57] <BLuNT187> pike: would you be able to assit me? im very new to this
[08:58] <BLuNT187> i looked at the ubuntu guide
[08:58] <mc44> ballpointcarrot, in theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is
[08:58] <BLuNT187> but didnt want to ruin anything
[08:58] <pike_> BLuNT187: what kind of video card do you have ? ati? nvidia? intel?
[08:58] <gatekeeper> poningru_: ooops just my luck :-)
[08:58] <BLuNT187> nvidia geforce
[08:58] <pike_> BLuNT187: wiki.ubuntu.com is a better bet for most things
[08:58] <BLuNT187> 7800gtx
[08:58] <ballpointcarrot> mc44: heh... good point.
[08:58] <BLuNT187> i mean gt
[08:58] <elfshadow14> Next question is there a easy way to get Nvidia drivers?My friend has kubuntu and says he can go to display and tell it which driver he wants.
[08:58] <pike_> BLuNT187: dapper or breezy?
[08:58] <poningru_> still... thanks for the help though
[08:59] <jrib> !nvidia > elfshadow14
[08:59] <BLuNT187> dapper
[08:59] <Adam_G> adam_, you still around
[08:59] <gatekeeper> elfshadow14: hang on...
[08:59] <Jack_Sparrow> !nvidia
[08:59] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:59] <adam_> Adam_g:yeh i hear
[08:59] <mc44> also does anyone know how I can change my tab auto complete in xchat from comma to :
[08:59] <fuoco> is there a web page that shows the versions of packages/apps in ubuntu ?
[08:59] <Adam_G> adam_, did you get the pm? (if you're in xchat it'll be in it's own tab)
[09:00] <pike_> BLuNT187: the nvidia installer would be some work but the ubuntu packages are perfectly serviceable
[09:00] <Lynoure> Does some irc client really do it with /pm ? *curious*
[09:00] <Imme> But who likes gnomes anyway...
[09:00] <sharms> mc44: Preferences->Interface->Input box-> Nick completion suffix.
[09:00] <Adam_G> Lynoure, i don't think so...
[09:00] <adam_> Adam_g:i have 2 register first
[09:00] <gatekeeper> elfshadow14: some info here: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_Graphics_Driver_.28NVIDIA.29 would also check out ubuntu forums
[09:00] <Adam_G> oh. Well, nevermind. Just bear with me
[09:00] <kbrooks> Lynoure: no
[09:01] <gatekeeper> !nvidia
[09:01] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:01] <Adam_G> open up nautilus, and tell me what folder you're in
[09:01] <elfshadow14> Thanks
[09:01] <tailsfan> Is GSteramer a inportant set of files?
[09:01] <gatekeeper> elfshadow14: ^^^^
[09:01] <adam_> home
[09:01] <mc44> sh
[09:01] <Lynoure> kbrooks: I wonder how it came to be, then... makes me feel positively ancient :)
[09:02] <ballpointcarrot> tailsfan: yes.  It's the set of files that controls multimedia in Ubuntu (sound/video codecs)
[09:02] <mjr> tailsfan, for multimedia, pretty much
[09:02] <mc44> sharms: thanks :)
[09:02] <Adam_G> adam_, ok, on the left there should be some shortcuts. You're looking for one called "/" or "root" or "filesystem." If there is one, double click on it
[09:02] <sharms> mc44: np
[09:02] <kbrooks> Lynoure:  you use /query <person>, then a query window opens up
[09:02] <adam_> Adam_G:done
[09:02] <yuriok1> who know hebrew contact me//
[09:02] <Adam_G> find the /etc folder, and double click there
[09:02] <tailsfan> anyway on how to upgrade it or is 0.10 the latest?
[09:03] <jrib> tailsfan: there is no 0.10
[09:03] <ballpointcarrot> tailsfan: 0.10 is up-to-date.
[09:03] <ubuntu__> Hello! can anyone help me?
[09:03] <Adam_G> :(
[09:03] <jrib> tailsfan: oh gstreamer, thought you meant ubuntu
[09:04] <ballpointcarrot> ubuntu__: sure, what's the problem?
[09:04] <Adam_G> ubuntu, ask away
[09:04] <ubuntu__> I'm using the live CD and i have no idea of how to configure my wireless card
[09:04] <aqau_inter_fly> does anyone know if its possible to get the Linksys WUSB54GC wireless adapter to work with ubuntu
[09:04] <aqau_inter_fly> i tried with mepis and slackware with no success
[09:05] <Jack_Sparrow> aqua is that a broadcom adapter?
[09:05] <Adam_G> aqau_inter_fly, doesn't look simple: http://www.passivemode.net/updates/2006/5/29/linksys-wusb54gc-linux.html
[09:06] <mc44> ballpointcarrot: ah there is a package called vnstat which records bandwith usage persistantly. not that I expect you care :)
[09:06] <aqau_inter_fly> adam_g: o
[09:06] <Adam_G> yeah. :/
[09:06] <aqau_inter_fly> adam_g:I've already been to taht site and it didn't work
[09:06] <Adam_G> I just tried google, maybe there's a simpler howto out there
[09:06] <ballpointcarrot> mc44: doesn't help me personally, but i'm glad you found something that works :)
[09:07] <ubuntu__> i can see it on the device manager "BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller" but it says "devide type: Unknown"
[09:07] <aqau_inter_fly> adam_g:  I will try the passive mode site in ubuntu (installing right now) but as far as i know that only works in debian
[09:07] <Jack_Sparrow> aqau_inter_fly: Buy a different wireless adapter..
[09:07] <bagpuss_thecat> fscking wonderful
[09:08] <aqau_inter_fly> Jack_Sparrow:  I wish I had money
[09:08] <Lynoure> kbrooks: Yep, I'm from the good old days of query, but how did it become "pm"? (No, didn't have a technical question, just a jargon question)
[09:08] <kbrooks> Lynoure: pm = private message
[09:08] <kbrooks> *smack*
[09:08] <unmoldable> ubuntu__: can you run ifconfig -a | egrep "^\w" and tell us what it says
[09:08] <mc44> ballpointcarrot: thanks for the help
[09:09] <ballpointcarrot> mc44: no prob.
[09:09] <kbrooks> a query window is a private message, Lynoure
[09:09] <adam_> Adam_G: r u still there my computer froze so i had 2 restart
[09:09] <King> Hi again! Good Evening from Helsinki Finland!
[09:09] <kbrooks> Lynoure: so saying "may i pm you" means "may i open a query window"
[09:09] <ubuntu__> can you run ifconfig -a | egrep "^\w".......... sorry im totally new to linux, how do I do that
[09:09] <Lynoure> kbrooks: yes, but. I guess I'm not asking right... As far as I've known, the've been messages or msg or query, is pm from the AIM/ICQ world?
[09:09] <tailsfan> ballpointcarrot, will having the bad and ugly plugins help with getting sound for ubuntu?
[09:10] <tailsfan> the gstreamer ones
[09:10] <unmoldable> get to a terminal, by going to Accessories in the first menu and "Terminal"
[09:10] <adam_> hey did n e 1 know that im from sydney australia
[09:10] <dribble> anybody have any suggestions for gapless audio output?
[09:10] <kbrooks> Lynoure: pm is just an acronym
[09:10] <ballpointcarrot> tailsfan: bad and ugly ad in the proprietary audio drivers (mp3, windows codecs, avi, etc).  are you having trouble with files, or the card in general?
[09:11] <kbrooks> Lynoure: it means "private message"
[09:11] <Orion-Coder> I'm back
[09:11] <kbrooks> ubuntu__: go to applications > accessories > terminal
[09:11] <tailsfan> It's giving me errors for whenever I try to modprobe the card
[09:11] <Lynoure> kbrooks: ok, I'll give up hunting it's origins here. (I've known from the start what it means)
[09:11] <unmoldable> ubuntu__:once your there, then type at the prompt   "ifconfig -a | egrep "^\w"
[09:12] <tailsfan> it's a ESS1869 Pnp Audiodrive
[09:12] <kbrooks> Lynoure: i didnt know the answer to that :-)
[09:12] <ubuntu__> Okay.. it says: eth0   Link encap: Ethernet HWaddr 00:0F:B0:01:F0:1C                               lo   Link  encap: Local Loopback                       sit0   Link   encap IPv6-in-IPv4
[09:13] <tailsfan> ubuntu__ next time pastebin it
[09:13] <ubuntu__> sorry :S hehe...
[09:13] <Lynoure> kbrooks: You are annoyingly persistently helpful :) Thanks anyway :)
[09:13] <kbrooks> tailsfan: What?
[09:13] <adam_> Adam_G: r u there?
[09:13] <ubuntu__> eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0F:B0:01:F0:1C

[09:13] <ballpointcarrot> tailsfan: can you pastebin the errors?
[09:13] <pike_> BlueEagle: sorry my connections  pretty laggy see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:14] <tailsfan> Ahh hold on
[09:15] <adam_> if n e one can find out how to get a NETGEAR wireless pci adapter wg311v3 working on ubuntu could they please let me know coz itz friggin hard
[09:15] <unmoldable> ubuntu__:do you know what kind of card it is?
[09:16] <Vilkacis> How do I stop ping?
[09:16] <pike_> Vilkacis: ctrl c
[09:16] <Vilkacis> I have pinged my gateway, and it is up to 50+ repetitions and ctrl-c does nothing.
[09:16] <Vilkacis> Ah, there it goes.
[09:16] <ubuntu__> unmoldable: No idea ..
[09:16] <pike_> Vilkacis: its usually more like ctrl ccccccc ;p
[09:16] <unmoldable> ubuntu__: fyi, by pastebin, they meant post the output at:   http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[09:17] <ubuntu__> uhh :$
[09:17] <kbrooks> Vilkacis: hint for programs that dont respond with ctrl+c: type ctrl+z, then "kill %1" at the prompt
[09:17] <srikanth> Vilkacis, press ctrl+c
[09:17] <Vilkacis> What is the command for figuring out the machine's assigned IP?
[09:17] <unmoldable> ubuntu__: and then put the address in here(keeps the traffic from getting long)
[09:17] <SirGrok> Does anyone know how to set the bluetooth pin on my laptop?
[09:17] <kbrooks> Vilkacis: ifconfig
[09:17] <tailsfan> unmoldable: I know that already
[09:17] <tailsfan> I used it before
[09:17] <kbrooks> OK. all.
[09:17] <gatekeeper> Vilkacis: ifconfig
[09:18] <unmoldable> tailsfan: I was explaining that to ubuntu__, he pasted again after you told him that
[09:18] <DoomStone> Any 1 know where i can get the wow patch for wine 0.9.16, (The guide i'm using uses the link http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=5109  but that site is down atm)
[09:18] <kbrooks> i'd like to collect a list of the MOST used programs in Ubuntu by you all.
[09:18] <Vilkacis> OK is there any way to make this NOT the tiny corner of my window? I am logged in under failsafe terminal, and instead of taking the whole screen it takes a tiny 1/5th of the right corner, in tiny text.
[09:18] <unmoldable> ubuntu__: run "lscpi" in your terminal and past that on the site I gave you
[09:18] <kbrooks> so give it away, yall! What are your most used programs under Ubuntu?
[09:18] <tailsfan> Oh sorry :)

[09:19] <tailsfan> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18454 this error showed when i did aconnect
[09:19] <gatekeeper> evening
[09:20] <tailsfan> and terminal too, still working on ALSA
[09:20] <adam_> King: whats the time over there
[09:20] <kbrooks> Let's keep it rolling!
[09:20] <ballpointcarrot> tailsfan: what happens when you sudo modprobe snd-es18xx?
[09:20] <King> Adam: It's 22:19
[09:20] <King> I had a bunch of problems earlier with installing Dapper update. I was stuck at Ubuntu 5.10 had lot's of problems, had to re-instal 5.10 twice, it was a mess. Eventually I booted back to XP downloaded Ubuntu 6.06 burned it to a cd, installed and now most of my problems are gone. Well I still have lot to do. Like install ntfs-3g drivers and Jetico Bestcrypt so I can use my NTFS partitions. I used to be hardcore Microsoft fan but now I really love Linux t
[09:20] <Vilkacis> How do I start an FTP client from a command line so I can log in with my windows machine, save my several gigs worth of music and nuke the linux box?
[09:20] <King> he more I use it and I really want to ditch XP and use Linux as my main system. I still have a long road to go. Anyway, lotsa questions coming later. Thanks for all the help I've gotten from here over the past two days. LINUX ROX!
[09:21] <pike_> Vilkacis: you will have to install an ftp server i user vsftpd
[09:21] <Vilkacis> pike_: Can you instruct how to do that? It had one installed previously, until I decided to 'update' and everything went haywire.
[09:21] <adam_> King: im from sydney australia and it is 4am over here
[09:21] <tailsfan> Win2k*

[09:22] <King> adam: your staying up late dude
[09:22] <adam_> King:meh
[09:22] <pike_> Vilkacis: to search for a server you can use synaptic or from command line type apt-cache search  ftp.  to install vsftpd typ e" sudo apt-get install vsftpd"
[09:22] <VKPS2> hello
[09:22] <tailsfan> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18455 there's the error
[09:23] <tailsfan> I think I may have to reinstall ALSA again
[09:23] <VKPS2> having a problem getting wireless working
[09:23] <tailsfan> or get rid of /dev/snd/seq folders I created with root
[09:23] <King> Gatekeeper: Thanks for the link
[09:23] <VKPS2> ndist-gk has the appropriate driver, but no connection is appearing
[09:23] <illatitante> why when i try to install ubuntu appear this: could not find kernel /casper/.vml ?????
[09:24] <ballpointcarrot> tailsfan: try running sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa-base
[09:24] <Vilkacis> pike_: OK, I have installed that. How do I start it? I have winscp376 on my windows machine, it has worked before.
[09:24] <adam_> if n e one can find out how to get a NETGEAR wireless pci adapter wg311v3 working on ubuntu could they please let me know coz itz friggin hard
[09:24] <pike_> Vilkacis: after the install type gksudo /etc/vsftpd.conf and edit the config file it will have comments explaining everything then just reboot or  type sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart
[09:24] <gatekeeper> King: np :-) created a little home page with some usefull links that you might find usefull as you are going along http://za1012001.googlepages.com/home
[09:24] <FunnyLookinHat> adam_, I assume you have searched ubuntuforums.org for the model number?
[09:25] <VKPS2> ndiswrapper -m says "modprobe config already contains alias directive
[09:25] <pike_> Vilkacis: er gksudo gedit /etc/vsftpd.conf
[09:26] <Vilkacis> I typed that. It carriage returns to a blank line, and then nothing.
[09:26] <La_PaRCa> Um, I need some help with awk. I need a pattern to match something that is in a variable. How can I do that?
[09:26] <DoomStone> If i want to chmod a folder and all its subfolders to 777 what is the command for that?
[09:26] <pike_> Vilkacis: you need to be in gnome
[09:26] <adam_> Funnylookinhat: yeh i hav been al over the net
[09:26] <tailsfan> won't work
[09:26] <illatitante> why when i try to install ubuntu appear this: could not find kernel image /casper/.vml ?????
[09:26] <trappist> DoomStone: chmod -R rwX foldername, but don't do it.
[09:27] <Vilkacis> pike_: Nothing but the basic command-line works. If I run Gnome, it brings up a blank 'question' box with nothing in it. I can do nothing but move that box around. If I close it, everything restarts and the box returns.
[09:27] <DoomStone> It is for my media folder
[09:27] <tailsfan> It's saying to can't remove /etc/alsa/modutils/0.5
[09:27] <dribble> anybody on a good music player for gapless audio output?
[09:27] <Vilkacis> pike_: At this point, I am lucky to have command line with working network.
[09:27] <DoomStone> as it is now do only the root have access
[09:27] <trappist> DoomStone: you don't want it writable by everybody in the world, do you?
[09:27] <dribble> i listen to a lot of live music, with segues between songs and such - the gap in rhythmbox is killer
[09:27] <pike_> Vilkacis: just install this sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[09:27] <FunnyLookinHat> adam_, hmm  sorry that's the only place I would know to look..    : (
[09:27] <DoomStone> hmm no, but to all the users of the pc..
[09:28] <pike_> Vilkacis: then download a freeware program called winscp on your windows comp
[09:28] <adam_> Funnylookinhat: k
[09:28] <Tokeiito> good evening
[09:28] <trappist> DoomStone: make a group that has access to the directory, add whoever you want to the group, and chown -R root:newgroup foldername
[09:28] <Vilkacis> pike_: I have winscp.
[09:28] <Adam-g> adam_, did you see this? http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=176823
[09:28] <DoomStone> hmm
[09:28] <Adam-g> adam_, it's from the older version of ubuntu, but it should still work
[09:29] <illatitante> HELP ME!
[09:29] <illatitante> why when i try to install ubuntu appear this: could not find kernel image /casper/.vml ?????
[09:29] <Tokeiito> damaged CD?
[09:29] <Adam-g> adam_: That also requires you to have the windows driver CD
[09:29] <illatitante> is the flashdisk
[09:29] <Adam-g> illatitante, yeah, that sounds like a bad CD
[09:30] <Adam-g> illatitante, or bad media
[09:30] <illatitante> isn't a cd
[09:30] <illatitante> is a flashdisk
[09:30] <pike_> from command line if you really want plain ftp use nano to edit the file like sudo nano /etc/vsftpd.conf you have to allow local user login and such
[09:30] <Adam-g> bad whatever :P
[09:30] <DoomStone> thx
[09:30] <illatitante> ok, thanks
[09:30] <Tokeiito> wtv bad disk image. no file. damaged file
[09:30] <illatitante> ok
[09:30] <illatitante> thanks
[09:30] <illatitante> and now?
[09:31] <Tokeiito> get new
[09:31] <illatitante> ok
[09:31] <adam_> adam-g: yeh iv done thay and it works great but when i shutdown my computer and go back on it later the connection wlan0 has dissapeared 4 no reason
[09:31] <Adam-g> illatitante, does the comp have a cd drive?
[09:31] <Adam-g> adam_, I dunno about that
[09:31] <illatitante> yes, but no a cd writer
[09:32] <Adam-g> adam_, maybe try asking on the forum... I don't have that card though, so I dunno what else to do :/
[09:32] <Tokeiito> does anuone now any good article about speeding up Ubuntu Daper?
[09:32] <NickNolte> is there a way to regenerati .bash_profile file if some script deleted it
[09:32] <VKPS2> exit
[09:32] <King> Im using Ubuntu 6.06 I need read and write access fro my windows NTFS hard drives. Is ntfs-3g the best option and is writing to ntfs partitions really safe to do with Linux and third party apps?? <--------
[09:32] <adam_> Adam-g: i need a program that runs terminal commands on ubuntu startup and then i can get it 2 work do u know n e?
[09:33] <SWAT> King, you're asking for trouble if you want that
[09:33] <trappist> Tokeiito: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=189192
[09:33] <Adam-g> adam_, you should be able to do a startup script.
[09:33] <Tokeiito> trappist, thank you
[09:33] <adamlinuxobjecti> whoa, lots of adams
[09:33] <King> SWAT: Really? Some people over here earlier recommended that for me...
[09:33] <adam_> Adam-g:im new 2 ubuntu i switched from windows last week and im not sure how 2 do that
[09:34] <Adam-g> ok, I'll walk you through it
[09:34] <SWAT> King, safe useage: use a FAT32 partition for read/writing in Windows and Linux. NTFS writing could screw up your Windows partition. Remember that NTFS is not an open format
[09:34] <adam_> Adam-g: thanx
[09:34] <brutopia> can I somehow build packages automatically from sources with apt like gentoo
[09:34] <Adam-g> first thing, is to go to nautilus and to the '/' folder as before
[09:34] <void^> King: ntfs-3g is new and now widely tested, don't use it if you value your data
[09:35] <trappist> brutopia: apt-build
[09:35] <adam_> Adam-g: done
[09:35] <SWAT> King, you can write to a NTFS partition using Linux, but I wouldn't call it safe. Use it on your own risk. Don't come crying here if you have data corruption ;-)
[09:35] <Adam-g> adam_, find the /etc folder and go in there, then the /xsessions folder inside /etc
[09:35] <King> SWAT: Thanks, maybe I'll change my NTFS partitions to FAT32, though that makes XP a lil slower. How Fast linux writes to FAT32?
[09:35] <Adam-g> adam_, also, open a terminal
[09:36] <trappist> King: not terribly slow.
[09:36] <SWAT> King, FAT32 is commonly supported, it just works. Tip: there are several Windows tools with which you can convert NTFS to FAT32 without data loss
[09:36] <Flannel> King: ntfs write support is making some headway, you might look into samba or NFS stuff in the meantime
[09:36] <DarkAudit> haven't run evolution in a while... does it's spam filter still want to check *all* incoming mail, regardless if it's from a trusted mailing list or not?
[09:37] <adam_> Adam-g: done
[09:37] <King> Flannel: Yes I've heard about samba
[09:37] <Adam-g> adam_, then, in the terminal, type "sudo nano /etc/xsessions/startupscript.desktop"
[09:37] <lophyte> anyone know where I can find a good howto/tutorial on combining Kerberos/OpenLDAP for single sign-on?
[09:37] <adam_> V wat now
[09:38] <King> Yeah FAT32 sounds as a good option for the time being. Im just very suprised Linux cant work with NTFS.
[09:38] <SWAT> Flannel, I guess since King is talking about partitions, we're talking about the same PC. (NFS and Samba are useless)
[09:38] <flask-> hey is the YouTube volume control widget broken for anyone else?
[09:38] <aqau_inter_fly> King:  Some distros do work with NTFS
[09:38] <adam_> Adam-g: wat now
[09:38] <King> Yeah Im not part of a local network
[09:39] <Adam-g> ok, go to http://pastebin.ca/93802 and copypaste that into the terminal(BTW, in the terminal paste is cntrl+shift+v)
[09:39] <trappist> King: reverse engineering a filesystem is *hard* and ntfs is complicated.
[09:39] <aqau_inter_fly> When i had MEPIS it worked with NTFS
[09:40] <pike_> dapper will work with ntfs its just not the safest thing to do
[09:40] <adam_> [Desktop Entry] 
[09:40] <King> aqua_inter_fly: really. thanks for the info. I like Ubuntu so I'll stick with this one. But it's a releif some distros do work with NTFS. But how hard it can be to port it to ubuntu. <----
[09:40] <SWAT> Anyone here got experience with Truecrypt and Ubuntu? I'm curious if it works and is safe
[09:40] <adam_> Encoding=UTF-8
[09:40] <adam_> Name=Startup Script
[09:40] <adam_> Comment=this one's called the gnome
[09:40] <adam_> Exec=/usr/bin/startscript.sh
[09:40] <adam_> Icon=
[09:40] <adam_> Type=Application
[09:40] <gr33npho3nix> ntfs read? or ntfs write?
[09:40] <SWAT> adam_, don't paste in the channel, use pastebin
[09:40] <XVampireX> HEY
[09:40] <hawkaloogie> there's a stable ntfs write driver for fuse. google for "ntfs-3g"
[09:40] <XVampireX> If you didn't know
[09:40] <XVampireX> Yeah
[09:41] <XVampireX> hawkaloogie completed my sentence
[09:41] <adam_> adam-g: i clicked on the rong window soz
[09:41] <XVampireX> statement
[09:41] <SWAT> NTFS 'stable' driver doesn't mean 'safe'
[09:41] <adam_> adam-g: done
[09:41] <hawkaloogie> it's safe, read about it
[09:41] <XVampireX> SWAT, in this case it does
[09:41] <Adam-g> ok, now do cntl+X to close nano (yes to save)
[09:41] <SWAT> Microsoft is known to throw in some weird NTFS flags once in a while. I mean, Samba also needs to work around strange MS kinks
[09:41] <King> SWAT: Im using Jetico Bestcrypt. It's good it has Blowfish-448 encryption. It's very strong
[09:42] <Adam-g> once you're in the terminal, type "sudo mousepad /usr/bin/startupscript.sh"
[09:42] <Enverex> Can you install Ubuntu on a Mac laptop by burning the disc then booting it with the CD in?
[09:42] <SWAT> King, on-the-fly encryption and 'free' software?
[09:42] <aqau_inter_fly> Enverex: Yes
[09:42] <SWAT> Enverex, should work, yes :)
[09:42] <SWAT> Enverex, join the Ubuntu team
[09:42] <adam_> Adam-g:sudo: mousepad: command not found
[09:43] <aqau_inter_fly> Enverex:  make sure you download the power pc iso though
[09:43] <Adam-g> hmm.
[09:43] <s_spiff> !automatix
[09:43] <ubotu> Automatix is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. For help with and discussion of automatix please join #automatix.
[09:43] <Adam-g> Anyone know what the default text editor is for gnome?
[09:43] <lophyte> gedit
[09:43] <Adam-g> ok, thnks
[09:43] <ardchoille> Thank $DIETY for shift+left/right arrow in a text field. Broken mouse :(
[09:43] <s_spiff> gedit
[09:43] <dribble> ugh - amarok is not quite up my alley
[09:43] <King> hawkloogie: I've just heard ntfs-3g is not safe to use as it might be 'stable'. Im chaginf my NTFS drives to FAT32. I hope it doesnt suck big time, I mean the speed in Win XP and in Linux <----------
[09:43] <Adam-g> adam_: it's "sudo gedit /usr/bin/startupscript.sh" Sorry bout that :P
[09:43] <SWAT> s_spiff, please don't say such evil things, it scares me
[09:44] <s_spiff> dribble, using amarok to classify andorganise mp3 or just listen?
[09:44] <adam_> Adam-g: wat now
[09:44] <dribble> s_spiff, classify/organize
[09:44] <s_spiff> SWAT : what did I say?
[09:44] <Enverex> It's ok, there's just some tit trying to install Ubuntu from INSIDE OSX and wondering why it wont autoplay the disc
[09:44] <SWAT> s_spiff, you said the a-word
[09:44] <aqau_inter_fly> King:  are you trying to be able to read NTFS from linux or are you trying to write to it?
[09:44] <s_spiff> ohh ok
[09:44] <dribble> s_spiff, i dig it's 'gapless' output.  it's not perfect, but better than rhythmbox in that aspect
[09:44] <Adam-g> ok, adam_: http://pastebin.ca/93807
[09:44] <SWAT> Enverex, just completely switch to Ubuntu, you'll love it :)
[09:44] <s_spiff> swat, haha..why?
[09:44] <King> SWAT: Jetico Bestcrypt is free for Linux, but I guess it's not open source
[09:45] <SWAT> s_spiff, because automatix is pure evil and can easily break your system.
[09:45] <s_spiff> dribble: i would agree on that.
[09:45] <adam_> adam-g: now wat?
[09:45] <Enverex> SWAT, Erm, I've been using Linux for years, this was for the benefit of someone else. Dare to insult me by insinuating that I'd buy a Mac! lol
[09:45] <King> aqua_inter_fly: I need normal read and write access. Without write acces to windows partitions there isnt much fun from Linux for me. <------
[09:46] <Adam-g> adam_: Whatever you put in for (your script here) will be executed when you log in to the "startupscript" Session
[09:46] <s_spiff> SWAT, didn't know that. I'm not using it for my DD 64AMD, cuz i don wanna take a risk
[09:46] <SWAT> King, there are also windows tools that can read from linux partitions and you can read data from your windows ntfs partition in linux. So read/read usually works fine ;)
[09:46] <s_spiff> last time i used it on my BB i86 , worked fine
[09:46] <aqau_inter_fly> King:  well never mind...mepis could only read ntfs, it couldn't write to it.
[09:46] <kbrooks> SWAT: `EU can break your system
[09:47] <yaaar> word
[09:47] <SWAT> s_spiff, just please don't advise automatix to anyone, you don't want people to run away from ubuntu because it broke their system, do you? ;)
[09:47] <mwe> there are windows tools that can write to ext partitions
[09:47] <adam_> adam-g: so do i just type the comman that i normally command that i normally type in the terminal and that will b exicuted every time i log into ubuntu
[09:47] <aqau_inter_fly> Okay guys, I was installing ubuntu and the disk partitioner in the setup wasn't working
[09:47] <aqau_inter_fly> and now i downloaded and burned the Gparted live ce
[09:47] <aqau_inter_fly> cd*
[09:47] <SWAT> kbrooks, at least the EU doesn't have software patents and strict rules against encryption software :P
[09:47] <Adam-g> adam_: almost :P
[09:48] <aqau_inter_fly> and now My Keyboard won't work with it
[09:48] <yaaar> so...got a real bummer deal going here. the breaker blew and shut my computer down in the middle of running an update, and now every time I try to start synaptic it tells me there's another instance running.....even after rebooting
[09:48] <King> SWAT: Yeah reading works fine but what I really need is a good write access to my windows partitions. Otherwise I might as well use XP.
[09:48] <Adam-g> adam_:when you are in the login screen, click on "sessions" and select the "startup script" one
[09:48] <yaaar> is there a lockfile someplace or something?
[09:48] <ubuntu> sorry guys my conection failed.. ehm... my wireless card is broadcom
[09:48] <aqau_inter_fly> Does anyone know why?
[09:48] <Adam-g> adam_: *that* one will execute whatever commands you put in there
[09:48] <Tokeiito> yaaar, there is lock file
[09:48] <SWAT> King, then you should really use FAT32 or completely switch to Ubuntu :)
[09:48] <adam_> adam-g: k
[09:48] <Tokeiito> cant remember where
[09:48] <s_spiff> yaar? hindi?
[09:48] <Adam-g> adam_: reason for that is incase I messed something up, that way I don't break the login you know is working :P
[09:49] <Tokeiito> try to look in /usr/run
[09:49] <Tokeiito> or /etc/apt/
[09:49] <mwe> yaaar: /var/run
[09:49] <Gorlis1> Hi
[09:49] <King> Hey you long time Linux users, how much do you recommed to give partition space for Linux system files? I keep my personal files elsewhere. <------------
[09:49] <Adam-g> King, how much to you have to spare?
[09:49] <adam_> adam-g: were it says bin bash wat do i type there?
[09:49] <Gorlis1> been trying to install Ubuntu 64 but keeps freezing - tried Live Desktop, Server & Alternative
[09:50] <Gorlis1> gets to APT Configuration (I think) 40% Scanning Mirror
[09:50] <Gorlis1> and locks
[09:50] <Adam-g> adam_: you don't have to worry about that line
[09:50] <King> SWAT: I change NTFS to FAT32 and see how it work <-------
[09:50] <goudkov> hi guys, is there a way for me to list system properties like ram type and speed and the bus frequency?
[09:50] <yaaar> mwe: Tokeiito: i don't see anything in /var/run that looks likely......
[09:50] <SWAT> King, you don't need to use '<---', it's annoying
[09:50] <mwe> King: what do you mean? you mean how much space you need besides what you need for you personal files?
[09:50] <adam_> adam-g: k thanx 4 all that
[09:50] <Adam-g> adam_ just replace the (your script here) line with whatever commands you want (on seperate lines)
[09:50] <Adam-g> np
[09:50] <mwe> yaaar: what's the exact error?
[09:51] <Tokeiito> yaaar, and what about /etc/apt ?
[09:51] <SWAT> King, I recommend minimal of 3GB for linux, but if possible >10GB, then you have some 'play space' left
[09:51] <King> Adam-g: I have allocated about 5 gigs now
[09:51] <Adam-g> King: That should be enough if your /home folder is on a seperate partition
[09:51] <yaaar> mwe: "Only one software management tool is allowed to run at the same time. Please close the other application e.g. 'aptitude' or 'Synaptic' first."
[09:51] <SWAT> King, should suffice
[09:51] <Adam-g> I have 7 used, and I have a *lot* of thing sinstalled
[09:51] <Gorlis1> anyideas?
[09:52] <mwe> yaaar: sorry. it's /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[09:52] <King> SWAT, Adam-g: Can I resize partitions in Linux? Can I merge partitions in linux?
[09:52] <adam_> adam-g: will those command be exicuted in order? or all at once? or ?
[09:52] <mwe> yaaar: look for that
[09:52] <s_spiff> SWAT, on an avg, how much space does a properly updated ubuntu DD' system files take?
[09:52] <kalosaurusrex> !wma

[09:52] <Adam-g> adam_: one after the other
[09:52] <Adam-g> adam_: yes, in order
[09:52] <mwe> yaaar: remove it if present
[09:52] <yaaar> mwe: removed it, still get the same error
[09:53] <King> Adam-g: Ok moving home folder to another partition
[09:53] <Adam-g> adam_: as if each newline were an "enter" in the terminal
[09:53] <mwe> yaaar: what happens if you type sudo apt-get update at a terminal?
[09:53] <yaaar> mwe: it creates the lockfile again and leaves it there.
[09:53] <yaaar> waitup
[09:53] <SWAT> s_spiff, don't know. I've completely switched to Ubuntu and I'm not missing my Windows ;)
[09:53] <fuoco> ubuntu doesn't provide the latest versions of software that is released ? e.g. NetworkManager in ubuntu is quite behind upstream for example ?
[09:53] <ardchoille> yaaar: how were you updating, via command line or Synaptic?
[09:53] <yaaar> mwe: apt-get update works from the terminal...
[09:53] <adam_> adam-g: thanx lots
[09:53] <Adam-g> King: make sure your fstab is setup right. But I gotta go, for now
[09:53] <Enverex> Is it safe to use the "linux-k7" kernel/system pack on a Pentium 4? (it has all the optimisations the K7 Athlons do)
[09:54] <Bazzi> fuoco: correct
[09:54] <mwe> yaaar: hmm
[09:54] <Adam-g> later all
[09:54] <yaaar> ardchoille: just clicked the updates button on the panel
[09:54] <fuoco> Bazzi: sorry, but why ? and what's the point ?
[09:54] <King> Adam-G: By

[09:54] <Eduardo-> Anyone looking for a full-time development job in the chicagoland area working with a small 11 person development firm?
[09:54] <mwe> yaaar: and ps aux|grep synaptics, does it show any process?
[09:54] <yaaar> mwe: whoa, hang on....apt-get update ran into problems....
[09:54] <s_spiff> SWAT, no no..i've used a 20gb partition for my ubuntu installtion, wondering if that will suffice a few months down the line, considering the program installs and updates
[09:54] <yaaar> mwe: no, ps list is free of any apt derivitives
[09:55] <ardchoille> mwe: touchpad?
[09:55] <yaaar> mwe: ok, apt-get is telling me i need to run dpkg --configure -a  to fix something...
[09:55] <SWAT> s_spiff, should suffice a long time. Even if you install extra applications :)
[09:55] <Vikash> hi friends
[09:55] <Vikash> i have problem
[09:55] <Bazzi> fuoco: ubuntu does bugfixes to known stable versions and makes sure software interacts well. new upstream releases are often buggy and break with other software
[09:55] <mwe> yaaar: yes
[09:55] <Vikash> relaed to opera browser
[09:55] <kbrooks> edwards: job advertisements dont belong here
[09:55] <SWAT> s_spiff, we're talking about OS-space, so I don't count on whatever you download/save on it ;)
[09:55] <Vikash> it shows broken packages
[09:55] <homerh_linux> hiya been trying all afternon but i cant get my packages upgraded what ever i try i keep eiing the message E: The package index files are corrupted. No Filename: field for package bum. E: Unable to lock the download directory  ,ive tryed from the terminal sudo apt-get upgrade but no joy
[09:55] <mwe> yaaar: do it then. sudo dpkg --configure -a
[09:56] <mwe> ardchoille: yes?
[09:56] <fuoco> Bazzi: not always, many upstream releases are bugfixing. like all gnome-2.14.x releases...
[09:56] <Vikash> anybody with opera 9 there
[09:56] <yaaar> mwe: oh, yeah, it was already running before i mentioned it here
[09:56] <advant> How do you open a port on iptables, I want export a wxwindows display to my machine?

[09:56] <Vikash> dependencies r not resolved
[09:57] <smokeyd> Hey all. I've got a problem with openoffice on ubuntu dapper and AMD64 architecture
[09:57] <mwe> ardchoille: no no. ps aux|grep synaptic should have been, the package manager
[09:57] <ardchoille> mwe: Ahh
[09:57] <smokeyd> I've got the most recent update
[09:57] <Vikash> opera??????????????????????
[09:57] <Bazzi> fuoco: yes, but bugfixes are usually backported (without version increase though)
[09:57] <smokeyd> errors can be seen on http://www.copypot.com/200
[09:57] <PsyBan-> hi
[09:57] <PsyBan-> How do i make 32-bit programs to work?
[09:57] <Vikash> opera 9?????????????????
[09:57] <smokeyd> I guess that openoffice uses a 32bit emulation for some libraries
[09:57] <L0rd_D4rk> hi all!
[09:57] <PsyBan-> How do i make 32-bit programs to work? with AMD64
[09:58] <smokeyd> but that the versions openoffice was compiled with are different from the onse distributed by ubuntu
[09:58] <SWAT> PsyBan-, 32bit chroot
[09:58] <Vikash> opera?????????
[09:58] <PsyBan-> SWAT, how?
[09:58] <King> Gotta Go. Bye
[09:58] <PsyBan-> show me documentations
[09:59] <adam_> tty(all)l
[09:59] <SWAT> PsyBan-, have never done it before, have a look at the allmighty wiki
[09:59] <SWAT> wiki.ubuntu.com

[09:59] <modulus> hi, i'm thinking of installing ubuntu for some good friends of mine, but they're not very geeky so i'm thinking of getting them support as a present. would ubuntu $250 support seem like the right way forward?
[10:00] <legind> xchat question: how do i get the users in a channel to be on the side, traditional style
[10:00] <Vikash> anybody has installed opera 9
[10:00] <Vikash> anybody has installed opera 9
[10:00] <ardchoille> homerh_linux: are you doing this with sudo or do you have another instance of apt-get or Synaptic running?
[10:00] <mwe> don't repeat, Vikash
[10:00] <Vikash> so plz help me
[10:00] <s_spiff> Vikash: try the forums if u cante get ur solution here dude
[10:00] <mwe> Vikash: be patient please
[10:01] <s_spiff> a
[10:01] <mwe> Vikash: it's working fine here btw
[10:01] <Vikash> so nobody here has installed opera 9 in ubuntu 6.06
[10:01] <homerh_linux> yeah with sudo and i dont have anything else running
[10:01] <Vikash> but it shows me
[10:01] <s_spiff> Vikash: what error r u getting?
[10:01] <Vikash> xlib6g dependencies
[10:01] <Vikash> by synaptic package manager
[10:02] <Vikash> i installed 9 setup
[10:02] <Vikash> it runs ..
[10:02] <s_spiff> so dude... use synaptic to get the xlib6g, mwe correct me if i'm wrong
[10:02] <Vikash> but installation showed me error
[10:02] <Arjen> Can anyone tell me WHERE stuff is installed if i run "./configure, make, make install"?
[10:02] <s_spiff> runs?
[10:02] <Colloid> is there any way to get openssh's ftp server to chroot users to their home directory?
[10:02] <Vikash> there is no package with this name
[10:02] <gnomefreak> iirc its xlib-dev
[10:03] <smokeyd> Arjen: that depends on the prefix you gave with ./configure
[10:03] <ardchoille> Arjen: The install dir is dictated by the make and configure files, iirc
[10:03] <s_spiff> ask mwe or gnomefreak
[10:03] <smokeyd> if you gave none it is usually in /usr
[10:03] <mwe> xlib-dev is needed to run opera?!
[10:03] <smokeyd> with the executables in /usr/bin
[10:03] <Vikash> ok
[10:03] <smokeyd> libraries in /usr/lib
[10:03] <smokeyd> etc
[10:03] <gnomefreak> mwe: xlib is and no package xlib
[10:03] <Colloid> is there any way to get openssh's ftp server to chroot users to their home directory?
[10:03] <Vikash> then why synaptic is not showing this
[10:03] <gnomefreak> i cant run apt-cache search atm
[10:03] <Arjen> smokeyd, thanks.
[10:03] <Stormx2> How do I keep an eye on a file which is constantly being written to?
[10:03] <fuoco> Bazzi: so no new features in ubuntu for at least 6 months each time ?
[10:04] <s_spiff> Vikash: probably repo's are not activated in ur options
[10:04] <ardchoille> smokeyd: Thank you :) That is good to know info :)
[10:04] <s_spiff> ?
[10:04] <mwe> I don't have xlibs installed. yet running opera just fine
[10:04] <gnomefreak> mwe: me too
[10:04] <modulus> tail
[10:04] <Bazzi> fuoco: with few exceptions, yes
[10:04] <smokeyd> shure
[10:04] <smokeyd> :_
[10:04] <PsyBan-> How do i make 32-bit Chroot?
[10:04] <fuoco> Bazzi: arg
[10:04] <kbrooks> question....
[10:04] <Vikash> but setup must have showed u error
[10:04] <gnomefreak> !chroot > PsyBan-
[10:04] <ubotu> I know nothing about chroot  - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[10:04] <Stormx2> modulus: How do I use it?
[10:04] <gnomefreak> grrr
[10:04] <Arjen> smokeyd, any idea how to track down stuff i installed? i installed glib but it's complaining that it found an earlier version instead. how do i uninstall the old one, or more general: how do i uninstall stuff?
[10:04] <Bazzi> fuoco: seeing how other distributions fail with updates, this seems the right way to do at the moment
[10:04] <DoomStone> Hmm strange, i know i have installed my nvidia driver right, but i still only get 15-20 fps in wow, in windows do i never come under 60 and i normal lay about 90fps (FULL details, 12kx10k res), but in linux with lowest details and 12kx10x res. how can this be?
[10:04] <smokeyd> Stormx2: lsof <filename>
[10:04] <modulus> i'm not sure the right flag i think tail -c file
[10:04] <mwe> Vikash: I just got the .deb from opera.com and installed it. done
[10:05] <s_spiff> Vikash: how did you install opera?
[10:05] <PsyBan-> !chroot PsyBan-
[10:05] <ubotu> I know nothing about chroot PsyBan- - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[10:05] <Vikash> i also did that
[10:05] <PsyBan-> stupid bot
[10:05] <s_spiff> via their repo? or the deb package?
[10:05] <Vikash> and browser opened
[10:05] <PsyBan-> How do i make 32-bit Chroot?
[10:05] <ardchoille> Bazzi: Indeed.. this is one reason I switched to Ubuntu
[10:05] <Vikash> but installer showed error
[10:05] <warty> ja
[10:05] <Colloid> is there any way to get openssh's ftp server to chroot users to their home directory?
[10:05] <Vikash> i was trying from synaptic
[10:05] <s_spiff> Vikash: try using their repo's.. synaptic will automatically detect the dependencies and download them too.. not sure about this tho.
[10:05] <mwe> Vikash: I don't know what xlib6g is. I never herd of that
[10:05] <smokeyd> Arjen: depends on how you installed it. From source? Or through apt-get/synaptic/the ubuntu software tool?
[10:06] <fuoco> Bazzi: i don't see how upgrading xchat for example can break anything
[10:06] <Arjen> smokeyd, from source, yes.
[10:06] <Bazzi> fuoco: upgrading perl can break xchat for example
[10:06] <Bazzi> or an xchat upgrade can require a perl upgrade which breaks gparted
[10:06] <Arjen> smokeyd, that is to say, i installed a newer version from source, but it sais it finds an old version instead (though it detects the newer too)
[10:07] <smokeyd> ok, then it's usually a little difficult. SOmetimes you can doe a make uninstall in the dir with the sourcecode
[10:07] <smokeyd> but not always. You could manually remove the files
[10:07] <jote> what happend!!!!!!!!!!
[10:07] <ardchoille> fuoco: Aint dependencies fun? lol
[10:07] <Arjen> smokeyd, but glib came with ubuntu, where would i find it?
[10:07] <mwe> Arjen: don't you think keeping two versions can break?
[10:07] <patrick_king> heres one for all you lot. i have samba running and sharing, how would i make a user from xp point to the K:/ for their Documents and Settings
[10:07] <jote> are not
[10:07] <Arjen> mwe, i'm not planning on keeping 2 versions :)
[10:07] <legind_> I have two sound cards, one IRQ and one USB, and I'm trying to get multiple sounds to work on both simultaneously, with the USB as the default sound card. can anyone help?
[10:07] <jote> hello
[10:08] <DoomStone> My wow only run 15-20 fps (LOWEST details), i know my nvidia drive is installed right, (doomstone@doomstone-desktop:~$ glxgears -printfps -> 51777 frames in 5.1 seconds = 10188.945 FPS), and in windows do i normaly run wow with 60-125fps.
[10:08] <VoteForPedro> i just installed ubuntu, i think, but it has me at a command line - how do i get into GNOME?
[10:08] <DoomStone> What can i be doing rong?
[10:08] <smokeyd> Arjen: type "man ldd" at the console
[10:08] <smokeyd> that tool could help you figure out which files are used by which program
[10:08] <fuoco> Bazzi: to that i agree, but not the other way around ...
[10:09] <pike_> VoteForPedro: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart assuming everything is installed
[10:09] <Arjen> smokeyd, allright, i'll give it a try, thanks!
[10:09] <recon0> How can I make something run at login?
[10:09] <jote> quien habla espanol!!!!!!!!!!
[10:09] <VoteForPedro> pike_, i'll try thanks
[10:09] <jote> plice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[10:09] <modulus> yo
[10:09] <Bazzi> fuoco: sad thing is it can be any way around. and I've seen it happen, plenty of times.
[10:09] <ardchoille> !es > jote
[10:09] <jote> vale!!!!!!!!!!
[10:09] <smokeyd> but be carefull Arjen
[10:10] <smokeyd> you don't want to fool around too much with libc, glibc etc
[10:10] <smokeyd> you can break your pc
[10:10] <modulus> at least your OS
[10:10] <mwe> recon0: system>preferences>sessions
[10:10] <ardchoille> And very easily too, found that out
[10:10] <recon0> ah.
[10:10] <jpjacobs> jote, #ubuntu-es ?
[10:10] <fuoco> Bazzi: does ubuntu install with lvm by default ?
[10:10] <dcomsa> recon0: or /etc/rc.local
[10:10] <Bazzi> fuoco: uuuh, I don't think so
[10:11] <SWAT> jote, and please stop with all the exclamation marks ;)
[10:11] <pike_> VoteForPedro: did you get an error message?
[10:11] <smokeyd> anybody know about issues with openoffice on ubuntu dapper and amd64?
[10:12] <modulus> OO does not compile for amd64 as of yet?
[10:12] <modulus> at least as of recently
[10:12] <VoteForPedro> pike_, it asked me for a password, which i put in. then it says "bash: init.d: command not found"
[10:12] <homerh_linux> hiya still can get synapic to upgrade packages
[10:12] <smokeyd> modulus: I know. That's why 32bit libs are included with ubuntu dapper
[10:12] <mwe> linux 64bit applications are not quite mature yet
[10:12] <ardchoille> VoteForPedro: init.d is a dir
[10:12] <ardchoille> /etc/init.d
[10:12] <smokeyd> mwe: OO is not 64bit yet
[10:13] <smokeyd> it is 32bit
[10:13] <smokeyd> and ubuntu inclued 32bit emulation
[10:13] <Enverex> Ok so I've come to the conclusion that the K7 kernel doesn't work on a Pentium4 laptop, Would have been nice if someone had mentioned that, heh.
[10:13] <DoomStone> My wow only run 15-20 fps (LOWEST details), i know my nvidia drive is installed right, (doomstone@doomstone-desktop:~$ glxgears -printfps -> 51777 frames in 5.1 seconds = 10188.945 FPS), and in windows do i normaly run wow with 60-125fps (Full Details). What can i be doing rong?
[10:13] <smokeyd> but it seems that the 32bit emulation is a compiled with a different glibc version than 32bit openoffice
[10:13] <patrick_king> heres one for all you lot. i have samba running and sharing, how would i make a user from xp point to the K:/ for their Documents and Settings
[10:14] <pike_> VoteForPedro: did you do a server install?
[10:14] <VoteForPedro> pike_, i cd'd to etc and init.d is not there
[10:14] <VoteForPedro> pike_, no
[10:14] <VoteForPedro> desktop
[10:14] <mwe> smokeyd: If I had 64bit arch I'd still run 32bit linux for now. maybe in a year or so 64bit apps will improve
[10:14] <smokeyd> patrick_king:  You can change the location of the profile in windows XP somwhere
[10:14] <modulus> that directory should be there. i think it's safe to say your install is fux0red
[10:15] <VoteForPedro> i think a package failed, pike_ maybe thats the problem
[10:15] <pike_> VoteForPedro: what speed is your computer? im just wondering wich desktop you want
[10:15] <patrick_king> smokeyd: i dont know
[10:16] <VoteForPedro> pike_, its a late 90's compaq deskpro 2000 with some upgrades - i dont know the proc speed
[10:16] <pike_> VoteForPedro: ram and cpu?
[10:16] <smokeyd> patrick_king: see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q214470/
[10:16] <DoomStone> Can one explain to me what SwiftShader is?
[10:16] <VoteForPedro> pike_, this is for 5.10 btw, 6.06 wouldn't run
[10:16] <VoteForPedro> (live)
[10:17] <smokeyd> patrick_king: and http://www.archive.freeola.com/m.p.w.customize/Cup-location.shtml
[10:17] <Enverex> Are Pentium4's stuck with the i686 kernel or is there something better?
[10:17] <modulus> is ram greater than 192mb?
[10:17] <Warbo> VoteForPedro: Live needs much more RAM than installed
[10:17] <VoteForPedro> modulus, no 160mb i believe
[10:17] <dcomsa> tvtime + sb audigy ls = no sound ! any known resolutions?
[10:18] <pike_> VoteForPedro: the first thing we need to do is enable allyour sources so: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list once in the text editor remove the comment # from all of the urls like #deb and then ctrl-o  to save i believe
[10:18] <VoteForPedro> pike_, ok
[10:18] <Warbo> pike_: ctrl-x I think
[10:18] <homerh_linux> hiya still can get synapic to upgrade packages ,when i try sudo apt-get update i get errors
[10:18] <Warbo> pike_: That exits, asking to save
[10:19] <legind> I have two sound cards, one IRQ and one USB, and I'm trying to get multiple sounds to work on both simultaneously, with the USB as the default sound card. can anyone help?
[10:19] <pike_> VoteForPedro: livecd?
[10:19] <Warbo> homerh_linux: update updates the lists, upgrade and dist-upgrade download and install packages
[10:19] <VoteForPedro> pike_, install
[10:19] <Foobal> Enverex: if the P4 is new enough and has emt64 extensions, fire up the 64-bit kernel. other than that you wouldn'tget very large difference
[10:19] <VoteForPedro> pike_, live worked perfectly
[10:20] <homerh_linux> yeah i update the list then try to upgrade packages
[10:20] <Enverex> Foobal, True. Erm, I'm avoiding 64bit anyway due to too many progs not being compatible
[10:20] <homerh_linux> but still i get same error E: The package index files are corrupted. No Filename: field for package bum.
[10:20] <pike_> VoteForPedro: ok anyway  make changes to that file and then hit whatever key might be ctrl-x to write the changes
[10:21] <dcomsa> homerh_linux: try sudo apt-get clean
[10:21] <VoteForPedro> pike_, i dont have a network connection on that comp :?
[10:21] <VoteForPedro> :/
[10:21] <dcomsa> homerh_linux: then sudo apt-get update
[10:21] <Enverex> Foobal, But that's true. I had a massive boost on my desktop but that's probably because I went from 386 to K7-SMP, lol
[10:21] <homerh_linux> dcomsa ok will do
[10:22] <Warbo> homerh_linux: Try moving the lists out of /var/lib/dpkg/lists (I think) then updating from a clean slate (move them, don't delete, in case you need to move them back)
[10:22] <VoteForPedro> pike_, i will by the weekend though, i've got some hardware in the mail
[10:22] <Foobal> Enverex: not that many. only some multimedia stuff (proprietary codecs, flash) mostly. the situation is getting better slowly
[10:22] <pike_> VoteForPedro: thats the problem en with the install
[10:22] <Enverex> Foobal, actually it was emulators (most of them), flash,  some old apps, etc
[10:22] <VoteForPedro> pike_, it won't run GNOME (or install it) with out a net connection?
[10:23] <dli> Enverex, amd64 is the future, all x86 cpu will be amd64(x86-64) soon
[10:23] <pike_> VoteForPedro: maybe the install dvd will but ive never done a desktop install without network connection
[10:23] <skavenge> i686 is slow as molasses for me on my celeron .. i went back to 386
[10:23] <homerh_linux> dcomsa tryed that didnt work warbo trying you way now
[10:23] <Warbo> amd64 has exposed the blatant bias for one architecture that (mostly proprietary) software has. Mac users have known for years :)
[10:24] <VoteForPedro> pike_, ok ... i dont have a dvd drive on that computer ...
[10:24] <Enverex> dli, I know
[10:24] <mwe> the 64bit kernel is plenty stable, right? it's some applications that are not mature isn't it?
[10:24] <Foobal> mwe: the kernel is as good as it will come
[10:24] <pike_> VoteForPedro: now way to connect to internet?
[10:24] <VoteForPedro> pike_, nope, im on a wireless laptop for now
[10:25] <Warbo> mwe: Most Open Source stuff has cross-platform code, so they can compile for amd64. I think stability issues are only minor, due to lack of testing
[10:25] <modulus> can ubuntu install from wireless LAN?
[10:25] <pike_> VoteForPedro: the laptop is xp?
[10:25] <VoteForPedro> pike_, yes
[10:25] <rebelfallen> I can't log on to my vncserver. when I run service vncserver restart I get a weird error: Starting VNC server: 1:user1 runuser: user user1 does not exist     but it worked fine yesterday. How can I fix this?
[10:25] <VoteForPedro> pike_, i dont want ubuntu on this machine :/
[10:25] <mwe> Warbo: yeah. and annoying stuff like macromedia not providing a plugin for 64 bit, other binary things not avail and so
[10:26] <pike_> VoteForPedro: you could to connection sharing and plug into the laptop maybe test with livecd
[10:26] <homerh_linux> warbo  /var/lib/dpkg/lists /var/lib/dpkg/list i get as far as dpkg
[10:26] <Foobal> It's not Macromedia anymore. It's Adobe and the Flash9 for Linux is in internal testing - and it will come in 64-bit versions too
[10:26] <pike_> VoteForPedro: need a hub or a crossover cable i think
[10:26] <Warbo> mwe: At least x86-64 can run x86 code, so lib32 and stuff has a chance
[10:26] <VoteForPedro> pike_, no cable ... hardware is on the way though ... by the weekend i'll have a connection for it
[10:26] <mwe> Warbo: yes
[10:27] <Warbo> homerh_linux: Try /var/lib/apt instead, I may have got confused :)
[10:27] <pike_> VoteForPedro: good luck :)
[10:27] <VoteForPedro> pike_, thanks for the help ... so just to make sure ... it has to have a connection to update so it will completely install?
[10:27] <Shak-> are there any proxycap tools for linux? (one that is gtk supported maybe?)
[10:28] <mwe> Foobal: well that's good news
[10:28] <Warbo> homerh_linux: Just checked and it is /var/lib/apt. Keep the lists directory there, just move the contents out
[10:28] <homerh_linux> ok will do warbo
[10:28] <dcomsa> no sound in tvtime! any known resolutions?
[10:29] <salamoun> Could not connect to security.ubuntu.com:80
[10:29] <mwe> Foobal: did adobe buy flash?
[10:29] <neg_> hey
[10:29] <salamoun> i hate when it does this :(
[10:29] <Warbo> dcomsa: I found TV card support hit-and-miss. The best I managed with my PCTV was black and white
[10:29] <Foobal> mwe: yeah
[10:29] <neg_> any of you ever installed NTPV?
[10:29] <mwe> oh
[10:29] <modulus> ja, flash is adobe's now
[10:29] <mwe> that must have cost a fortune
[10:30] <VoteForPedro> macromedia is adobe's now
[10:30] <wheels3572> Can anyone help me I am trying to install Dapper and I am confused at the partitioner spot
[10:30] <modulus> i think macromedia was in deep s*** (not sure of swearing policy here)
[10:30] <neg_> hello pls?
[10:30] <mwe> next M$ will buy adobe :)
[10:30] <dcomsa> Warbo: the image is fine, but i get no sound whatsoever
[10:30] <pike_> weewhat spot?
[10:30] <kbrooks> modulus: see "!language"
[10:30] <rebelfallen> no one knows how to get vncserver running again? It was working fine before
[10:30] <Warbo> wheels3572: I am guessing you have Windows XP installed?
[10:30] <modulus> !language
[10:30] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[10:31] <wheels3572> Warbo: Yes I do lol I am at the prepare partitions section
[10:31] <homerh_linux> warbo cant move anything not even with sudo nautilus
[10:31] <wheels3572> pike:  I click the on the 20gb unallocated space that's no problem
[10:31] <Warbo> homerh_linux: "sudo mv /var/lib/apt/lists/* /some/temporary/location" doesn't work?
[10:32] <wheels3572> from there do I click on new or forward
[10:32] <confrey> hi eveerybody
[10:32] <Warbo> hi
[10:32] <JUDGE_> hello all.. quick question..
[10:32] <neg_> need help install NTPV PLS
[10:33] <Warbo> wheels3572: How much RAM do you have?
[10:33] <wheels3572> think 256
[10:33] <JUDGE_> Is there a knowledgebase for when the live cd detects your network and works great, but after the install .. the network is not found?
[10:33] <mwe> JUDGE_: ask it now or it wont be quick :)
[10:33] <pike_> wheels3572: you need at least two partitions one for swap and one for /
[10:33] <confrey> anybody using ekiga? there are somthing I don't understand
[10:33] <wheels3572> Right
[10:33] <Warbo> wheels3572: OK, I am actually unfamiliar with the graphical installer, but I have installed loads of times manually :) I would make a new partition which is 512MB
[10:33] <technel> Ok, when I do: find ./ -name *.swp it shows like 10 listings. But when I do: rm -r *.swp it says there is no such file or directory *.swp. Does rm not allow *?
[10:33] <wheels3572> but it will create one when it does the partition formatting
[10:34] <santa99> hi guys how can i reinstall grub on the ubuntu Dapper live cd ?
[10:34] <rebelfallen> http://pastebin.ca/93856
[10:34] <Warbo> santa99: sudo grub-install /dev/devicename (like hda or something)
[10:35] <Warbo> wheels3572: Format that partition as "swap", then use the rest of the disc as "/"
[10:35] <mwe> !grub > santa99
[10:35] <homerh_linux> warbo i think thats killed everything now
[10:35] <wheels3572> ok
[10:35] <Arjen> This rules.
[10:35] <Stormx2> Arjen: what, ubuntu? ;)
[10:35] <Kibou> technel: find searches recursive and 'rm -r' doesn't do what you think it does
[10:35] <Arjen> Stormx2, Hell yeah! :)
[10:36] <gatekeeper>  on windows i have got options to clean print nozzles etc, can you do that on linux, and if so where would I find it folks?
[10:36] <Warbo> homerh_linux: I've just screwed it for you? Oops, better move them back :)
[10:36] <Stormx2> Arjen: Totally agree
[10:36] <homerh_linux> lol
[10:36] <Arjen> What's the quickest way to fire up a command line? Using the "start menu" seems cumbersome.
[10:36] <Shak-> is it possible to setup working file associations for wine programs?
[10:36] <technel> Kibou,  -r, -R, --recursive              remove directories and their contents recursively .. ?
[10:36] <Tokeiito> what a **** is procesors speedstep?
[10:36] <mwe> nah. nobody here likes ubuntu
[10:36] <Shak-> Arjen: pop the terminal icon to the desktop
[10:36] <Warbo> homerh_linux: I remember someone having a similar problem. I forgot what they did, maybe some obscure APT option or something
[10:37] <Arjen> Shak-, no keyboard shortcuts?
[10:37] <dcomsa> Arjen: use keyboard shortcuts
[10:37] <Arjen> dcomsa, How?
[10:37] <erUSUL> technel: 'find ./ -name *.swp | xargs rm' (proceed with care)
[10:37] <technel> Arjen, Drag it to the little quick launch bar
[10:37] <modulus> speedstep can change the speed of the processor dynamically depending on load, useful for laptops
[10:37] <Kibou> technel: yes.. you can remove directories and it's content but it doesn't search recursive for your string
[10:37] <Warbo> Tokeiito: Laptops can have their processors run slower to save power and get rid of heat
[10:37] <dcomsa> system->preferences->keyboard shortcuts
[10:37] <Arjen> Sweet! Thanks!
[10:37] <jvai> arjen, just make a desktop shortcut, of cmd.exe
[10:37] <Tokeiito> i see
[10:37] <Tokeiito> thnx
[10:37] <dcomsa> you will find there "Run a terminal"
[10:37] <mwe> or find -name .swp -exec rm {} \;
[10:38] <Arjen> Do you guys use Konsole or another command line tool?
[10:38] <gatekeeper> Arjen: put the cli app in your pannel
[10:38] <Imme> But who likes gnomes anyway...
[10:38] <jvai> in gnome it's called "terminal"
[10:38] <Warbo> Arjen: I use Gnome-Terminal when I can be bothered, but Xterm is more accessible in my set up (E16, right at the top of the menu)
[10:38] <jvai> i like gnome
[10:38] <Shak-> is it possible to setup working file associations for wine programs?
[10:38] <jvai> it's da boomb
[10:38] <Kibou> or find ./ -name *.swp | xargs rm
[10:39] <cpk1> Arjen: if you find the command line program in the start menu you can right click it and there should be an option to add a shortcut
[10:39] <homerh_linux> warbo thanks anyway
[10:39] <Warbo> Shak-: I think you can give WINE programs command line arguments, so you could send them the file you want to open.
[10:39] <mwe> find ./ is the same as just find
[10:39] <Arjen> Thanks everyone who answered, I got it. :)
[10:39] <dcomsa> homerh_linux: did you try to google the whole error?
[10:39] <JUDGE_> anyone experienced a working network with the live cd and then a broken network after install using Dapper?
[10:39] <Kibou> mwe: no shit
[10:40] <azureal> hi, my friend is trying to upgrade from 5.10 to 6.06, but he's having trouble doing it through the popup icon in the system tray
[10:40] <mwe> or find .
[10:40] <Shak-> Warbo: well right now I just set "open with" to wine /path/to/program.exe and it isnt working too well
[10:40] <gizmo_the_great1> hi. A few weeks ago I ran wine for some reason, and then I thought I closed it. Additionally I recently ran VMWare Server Console. I exited that a few days ago. I only just noticed (due to bad performance) that both were still running using about 30% CPU each! I closed using kill command and now CPU is 2-3%. How can I ensure both apps close properly when I exit them in future?
[10:40] <King> Hello. Good evening from Helsinki Finland
[10:40] <azureal> says there's a network prob
[10:40] <Warbo> Shak-: I have noticed that the "open with" command isn't particularly nice though, so you may need to make a script to act as a wrapper
[10:40] <DoctorMO> damn it, my friends sound system has died again,
[10:40] <homerh_linux> no will do dcomsa
[10:40] <DoctorMO> how can I figure out whats wrong?
[10:40] <dcomsa> homerh_linux: but leave out the package name
[10:40] <tailsfan> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18456 there is a updated ALSA error when modprobing
[10:40] <Shak-> Warbo: never done that before, how would the script execute upon detecting a file type
[10:40] <Guest477> what is the internet super server? anyone know?
[10:41] <King> No more first time her today ;) Im back with new questions
[10:41] <homerh_linux> hehe i would have done anyway  ,homer but name not nature
[10:42] <DoctorMO> I really want to choose which is the default sound card, since it now support hios usb sound devices they've stomped all over his sound card
[10:42] <Warbo> Shak-: You can set the Open With program as your script (a script just starts with "#!/bin/bash" then whatever commands you would give it in a terminal). I do not know how to accept command line options (such as files) with a script though
[10:42] <tailsfan> ballpointcarrot: you here still :)
[10:42] <ahzid> argh D:
[10:42] <gizmo_the_great1> hi. A few weeks ago I ran wine for some reason, and then I thought I closed it. Additionally I recently ran VMWare Server Console. I exited that a few days ago. I only just noticed (due to bad performance) that both were still running in the background (running top revealed this to me) using about 30% CPU each! I closed using kill command and now CPU is 2-3%. How can I ensure both apps close properly when I exit them in future?
[10:43] <neg_> helppppppppp
[10:43] <Stormx2> aww man,
[10:43] <mwe> !helpme
[10:43] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[10:43] <dcomsa> DoctorMO: go to System->Preferences->Sounds
[10:43] <modulus> kill seems easiest way?
[10:43] <Stormx2> Serpentine thinks all my tracks are 20 minutes long because i rip to V0
[10:43] <confrey> I try again : anybody using ekiga? I tied to subscribe for a sip address, but nobody reply to me
[10:43] <ahzid> i tried running the ubuntu installer earlier, first linux distro and all that
[10:43] <dcomsa> DoctorMO: at the bottom you will se "Default sound card"
[10:43] <gizmo_the_great1> modulus: yes, but I thought a Linux app would close itself properly. Having to use kill is a bit 'Windowsy'
[10:44] <larry123> hi, installed ubuntu on VAIO wide screen laptop, NVIDIA video card, looks fine, but when i type URL in the firefox address bar and move the cursor back (to the beginning of the URL in the address bar) i see remainings of the cursor, like cursor symbol (vertical line) is not erased and cursor is not positioned correctly. any ideas ? thanks
[10:44] <ahzid> blah blah blah, everything installs fine and then just towards the end something about xserver not running properly comes up
[10:44] <piwi> hi there! I was wondering, where can I edit the file synaptic uses to get the updated apps from? I generated mine with source-o-matic webpage but some of them are dead and its boring to have this error message all the time
[10:44] <modulus> gizmo_the_great1: the app behaves how it wants, it's probably on so as if you want to use it again.
[10:44] <Warbo> gizmo_the_great1: WINE has a tendancy to remain open, especially it's server type things. I always have to kill them in the system monitor. You caould make a little script which "kill -s KILL `pidof whatever`" then run that after closing apps
[10:44] <DoctorMO> dcomsa: great but I'm logged in remotly via ssh
[10:44] <ramvi> I had Compiz working. But it stopped working and now glxinfo is respondig with direct rendering: No. I dpkg xserver and choose flgx, but I still get No direct rendering. What's wrong, and more importantly; how do I fix it?
[10:44] <dcomsa> DoctorMO: :)
[10:44] <DoctorMO> play returns: sox: Failed writing /dev/dsp: Unable to reset OSS driver.  Possibly accessing an invalid file/device
[10:44] <DoctorMO> but this machine is alsa driven
[10:45] <Arjen> How to upgrade MySQL?
[10:45] <Warbo> ramvi: Try "sudo modprobe fglrx"
[10:45] <kbrosnan> larry123, known Gecko (Firefox core issue)
[10:45] <cpk1> piwi: /etc/apt/sources.list?
[10:45] <gizmo_the_great1> thanks Warbo and Modules. Yes, they were both 'server' type instances. Bizarre how they were using so much resource though as idle apps. I will just kill them in future. cheers
[10:45] <ahzid> so i switch it off, back on again, try again, same problem. try running the safe graphical thing, and then it refuses to talk to my monitor
[10:45] <piwi> cpk1: cheers
[10:45] <larry123> kbrosnan: any fixies ?
[10:45] <ahzid> any way i can just easily get this installed? the disk is fine
[10:45] <MarcN> Arjen: before you attempt, use mysqldump for all your important databases.
[10:45] <ramvi> Warbo, that didn't respond anythibng
[10:45] <ramvi> anything
[10:45] <phunkalicious> how do i report a bug :|
[10:45] <mwe> Warbo: yes I noticed wine not quiting properly as well
[10:45] <Arjen> MarcN, nothing in it yet, so no worries :)
[10:46] <phunkalicious> i just loaded a .m3u playlist and rhythmbox died :/
[10:46] <tailsfan> DId anyone gte my pastebin addy, cause I'm trying to set up my sound card and it gave me that error
[10:46] <tailsfan> any sugeestions
[10:46] <kbrosnan> larry123, no wait for version 2 or 3 i think one of those has the fix for that issue
[10:46] <DoomStone> Dose any 1 here run wow with higer then 25 fps?
[10:46] <cpk1> Arjen: apt-get should just update if there is one available it hink?
[10:46] <MarcN> Arjen: what are you trying to upgrade from/to?
[10:46] <larry123> kbrosnan: Firefox 2 ?
[10:46] <ahzid> D: anyone?
[10:46] <xarq> is it easy to transfer files over bluetooth?
[10:46] <kbrosnan> larry123, due out some time mid-september
[10:46] <ramvi> Warbo, should it respond anything?
[10:47] <Arjen> cpk1, MarcN, apt-get update doesn't update, but i seem to be at 5.0, and I want to goto 5.1...
[10:47] <modulus> dist-upgrade?
[10:47] <Warbo> ramvi: If nothing happens then it has worked, otherwise you will get an error
[10:47] <larry123> ... and  another question - dual screen support on my laptop. is it possible with Ubuntu ?
[10:47] <cpk1> Arjen: i thought 5.0 was the latest? thats what i have...
[10:47] <MarcN> Arjen: mysql 5.1 isn't in dapper
[10:47] <ramvi> ah, thanks! :)
[10:47] <MarcN> Arjen: nor is it in production stage yet.
[10:47] <Warbo> ramvi: That loads the driver, so the driver is apparently working
[10:47] <saiko> why gFTP is crashing so hard and with no reason at all ?
[10:47] <Lobster> n8
[10:47] <Arjen> MarcN, It's not?
[10:47] <mwe> Arjen: I don't think there is a .deb for the 5.1 beta mysql
[10:47] <ahzid> please help =/
[10:48] <larry123> i mean connect external display and use it as as extended screen
[10:48] <cpk1> ahzid: does it install fine and then when you try to boot up for the first time you have a problem?
[10:48] <mwe> Arjen: I installed the binaries from mysql.com
[10:48] <ahzid> no, it's on the install, or, er, at 100% it breaks
[10:48] <Arjen> That would explain, i guess, heh!
[10:48] <DoctorMO> dcomsa: can you choose different input / output devices not just which sound card is default? like I want default input to be from a usb sound device but output through the sound card?
[10:48] <mwe> Arjen: it's not stable, you know?
[10:48] <neg_> NTPV ANYONE INSTALLED?
[10:49] <jvai> hey does the ubuntu file system ever gets defragged/
[10:49] <ahzid> when the bar thing on the graphical install fills up, anyway
[10:49] <DoctorMO> jvai: doesn't need to
[10:49] <HedgeMage> jvai: doesn't need it
[10:49] <Warbo> jvai: It automatically rearranges itself in the RAM
[10:49] <kbrooks> neg_: CUT THE CAPS. We can read lowercase as well
[10:49] <dcomsa> DoctorMO: sorry, don't know the answer
[10:49] <jvai> yes!.. ty.. no more
[10:49] <MarcN> Arjen: mysql-server in dapper is v5.0 (5.0.22-ubuntu6.06)
[10:49] <jvai> sounds nice
[10:49] <Arjen> mwe, no biggy, somehow it got in my mind that it needed upgrading, but apparantly not :)
[10:49] <mwe> um all file systems suffer from fragmentation
[10:49] <piwi> cpk1: what does 'hit' mean when synaptic browses repos for updates?
[10:49] <divineomega> Hi all. Trouble installing Dapper, every time I do so my XP partition is corrupted. I receive a BSOD 'unmountable_boot_volume'.
[10:49] <neg_> kbrooks, ntpv pls help me
[10:49] <xarq> does pand allow a bluetooth device to get internet access through an ubuntu machine, or is it the other way around?
[10:50] <Warbo> mwe: Ext3 for example only gets fragmented when it is over 90% full, since there is not much elbow room to rearrange the data
[10:50] <mwe> Arjen: trust me unless you desperately need check constraints or sth, don't do it
[10:50] <Administrator> Hi
[10:50] <MarcN> xarq: I was messing with that today.  pand typically on the gateway ubuntu system.
[10:50] <larry123> i guess TwinView should do the trick
[10:50] <larry123> thanks
[10:50] <divineomega> I've tried chkdsk in Windows Recovery Console, but it reports there are unrecoverable errors.
[10:51] <divineomega> Any ideas?
[10:51] <mwe> Warbo: so you actually saing it is defragmenting itself all the time?
[10:51] <MarcN> Administrator: did you wander in from #mswindows? ;-)
[10:51] <Arjen> mwe: i won't thanks
[10:51] <jvai> i shall never let my hard drive get even up 70 % full
[10:51] <Warbo> divineomega: Is this after shrinking Windows, or was it small enough to begin with?
[10:51] <piwi> can someone send me his sources.list file please? Mine is fucked up :(
[10:51] <Hieu> Oh probably.
[10:51] <ahzid> D:
[10:51] <divineomega> Warbo, I tried both methods.
[10:51] <mwe> Warbo: beceause fragmentation is unavoidable unless you defrag
[10:51] <Warbo> mwe: Basically. The same way that floppy disks don't get written to until you unmount
[10:51] <divineomega> Same efect
[10:51] <Hieu> I'm currently trying to install ubuntu on my other system but it seems to lock up when it gets to the language-pack-en-base... :(
[10:52] <spinelli> j/ ubuntu
[10:52] <spinelli> j/ #ubuntu
[10:52] <EvanCarroll> Are we having problems with security.ubuntu.com today
[10:52] <Hieu> Tried desktop and alternative same thing.
[10:52] <dcomsa> piwi: http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[10:52] <tsume> hyey
[10:52] <tsume> anyone used opera yet?
[10:52] <mwe> Warbo: so ext rearanges everything when you delete sth? are you sure about this?
[10:52] <tsume> opera 9 with ubuntu 6.06
[10:53] <divineomega> Anyone?
[10:53] <tsume> its friggen awesome, but there is some problem I'm running in to. I can't get the spellchecking to work, even though I've aspell installed
[10:53] <MystaMax> tsume, im using it now
[10:53] <cpk1> piwi: I have no idea what "hit" means i usually just apt-get everything, the source-o-matic link should give you working repos though
[10:53] <ahzid> ok, i'll ask again, my ubuntu install goes to 100%, says something about graphical xserv not running properly, then goes crazy. it's my first linux install, so when it goes to plaintext i fail
[10:53] <jvai> it seems like ubuntu loads as a virtual file system, what exactly is that?
[10:53] <tsume> MystaMax: is "Check spelling" available in the menus for you?
[10:53] <piwi> cpk1: but it didnt :( Im gonna regenerate it
[10:53] <tsume> MystaMax: Its in the Edit menu
[10:54] <cpk1> piwi: you in us? using dapper?
[10:54] <Warbo> mwe: Files don't get directly written to disk, they are saved in the RAM, then after the kernel checks for a sensible arrangement of files they get saved. The area in RAM is dynamic, so it doesn't get in the way of RAM needed by programs
[10:54] <Zooliegsm> hello all
[10:54] <ramvi> Warbo, Hi again. I still get no direct rendering :(
[10:54] <MystaMax> tsume, yep it sure is
[10:54] <ahzid> it's the amd64 install, and my processor can support it, so i can't see why stuff is going wrong
[10:54] <xarq> MarcN: you mean, pand allows your ubuntu box to be a gateway to bluetooth devices?
[10:55] <MystaMax> tsume, but its greyed out?
[10:55] <Warbo> ramvi: What is your card? Some have problems with Fglrx
[10:55] <cpk1> whats the xserver error?
[10:55] <Zooliegsm> i played a movie first time....with totem i got very pixelized pics,and with etc kaffeine or gxine i got smooth and nice pics like in windows....whats the problem with totem?
[10:55] <tsume> MystaMax: yeah, its greyed out because its disabled :)
[10:55] <tsume> MystaMax: try going to an input box and checking it
[10:55] <ahzid> it says something about not running, or not being able to run
[10:55] <Hieu> I'm wondering if anyone could offer suggestions. My ubuntu installation won't complete. Keeps stalling on language pack...
[10:55] <Arjen> Grr... How to get my mysql version number?!
[10:55] <MarcN> xarq: bluetooth device -> ubuntu -> internet      Google for ubuntu bluetooth howto    there are a bunch out there.
[10:55] <ramvi> Radeon 9600 mobility I think
[10:55] <ramvi> Warbo,  Radeon 9600 mobility I think
[10:55] <tsume> MystaMax: even to select text and right click, it should be there
[10:55] <PsyBan-> Im making 32-bit CHROOT
[10:55] <mwe> Warbo: yes I understand that. but it's just hard for me to imagine that it complete cures the fragmentation problem. it might reduce it though and what not and this is off topic ;)
[10:55] <tsume> or right clicking even
[10:55] <PsyBan-> can anyone help
[10:55] <MarcN> Arjen: dpkg --list|grep mysql-server    or use mysql client to connect to a mysql server
[10:55] <dcomsa> Hieu: check cd for errors
[10:55] <PsyBan-> Im making 32-bit CHROOT can anyone assist me?
[10:55] <ramvi> Warbo, but it did work...
[10:56] <King> Good evening from Helsinki Finland
[10:56] <King> I recently installed Ubuntu and im strongly concidering making it my main system. Im really fed up with XP and Microsoft, even though I used to be a hardcore fan. I had a bunch of problmes with Ubuntu 5.10 ended up re-installing 5.10 twice. Eventually booted to XP downloaded Ubuntu 6.06 burned it to a cd installed and now most of my problems are gone. I still have a lot to do and different alternatives to concider. I was going to use ntfs-3g drivers to
[10:56] <King> read and write my XP NTFS partitions. Well that didnt work because of Linux writing capabilities to NTFS doesnt exist. There are workarounds but data loss is a very likely to happen. OK. Then I concidered changing my NTFS partitions to FAT32 couse that works with Linux. Well, that's the worst option for Win XP and writing speed to FAT32 from Linux isnt the best. So here I am stuck again with problems. What to do? Im thinking of backing up all my data. R
[10:56] <King> esizing partitions. Maybe re-installing Ubuntu 6.06 and re-install XP so that I get all my files to Linux and use Win XP as secondary operating system in a smaller partition. Is burning cd/dvd's from Ubuntu safe? Will it loose some of my data? Im reading it from NTFS and burning it in Linux. Other options to concider? Thanks for reading ;) <-----------
[10:56] <Hieu> Checked CD for errors. there is none.
[10:56] <tsume> MystaMax: something is messed up :) Perhaps it isn't doing it right
[10:56] <pike_> King: good god
[10:56] <ahzid> blargh, i give up.
[10:56] <tsume> King: we are mostly on 80x80 consoles over ssh, never do that again
[10:56] <Hieu> lol
[10:56] <Warbo> ramvi: I know my card doesn't work with fglrx (Radeon 9200), and I have heard of problems with Radeon 7500, so I am not sure of the extent. You could try the DRI drivers, check dri.sourceforge.net to see if your card has 3D support
[10:57] <King> pike_: ;)
[10:57] <PsyBan-> Im making 32-bit CHROOT can anyone assist me?
[10:57] <Arjen> MarcN, Thanks again. :)
[10:57] <Warbo> ahzid: You say you are lost on a CLI?
[10:57] <tuxtux> ciao
[10:57] <analogkid_> yo
[10:57] <ahzid> er, sorry, what? D:
[10:57] <Warbo> !cli
[10:57] <advant> How do you open a port on iptables, I want export a wxwindows display to my machine?
[10:57] <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
[10:57] <tsume> MystaMax: perhaps I'll just try the tarball :)
[10:57] <Warbo> ahzid: That?
[10:57] <cpk1> ahzid: kind of hard to help with such a generic error ;)
[10:57] <bunta> Hey folks, having problems with viewing video files in Swiftfox
[10:57] <bunta> I've installed mplayer and its firefox plugin :S
[10:58] <MystaMax> tsume, i just tested it on the joomla forums, and it worked
[10:58] <ahzid> i'm not too sure what you mean, sorry D:
[10:58] <ramvi> Warbo, but I need fglrx for compiz?
[10:58] <Zooliegsm> i played a movie first time....with totem i got very pixelized pics,and with etc kaffeine or gxine i got smooth and nice pics like in windows....whats the problem with totem?
[10:58] <Warbo> ahzid: Because I would suggest using the alternate CD, but that is completely text-based :) (with menus though)
[10:58] <azureal> or open it through right-click-->XShells-->Xterm (fluxbox)
[10:58] <ahzid> well, er, it's my first time so i'm a bit lost without colors and the like :p
[10:58] <eigenlambda> FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.15-26-686/modules.dep: No such file or directory
[10:58] <Warbo> ramvi: You need 3D support, either through fglrx or through DRI
[10:58] <Ribs> Zooliegsm: totem uses the gstreamer backend by default... I guess gstreamer isn't liking your set-up very much
[10:58] <eigenlambda> ...how to generade modules.dep?
[10:59] <Ribs> Zooliegsm: You can switch to the xine backend by installing the totem-xine package. The other two media players you mentioned also use a xine backend
[10:59] <ramvi> Warbo, thanks!
[10:59] <cpk1> ahzid: what kind of nvidia card?
[10:59] <ahzid> but yeah, the install goes fine until the end, it just goes weird
[10:59] <Warbo> ramvi: I can use Compiz fine (well, apart from the bugs Compiz has) using DRI on my card, but 3D support only works on older cards, I am not sure how high the support goes
[10:59] <ahzid> i use a nvidia nforce 4 chipset
[10:59] <eigenlambda> ??
[10:59] <ahzid> but my card is an ati radeon x800 _
[10:59] <eigenlambda> so, a while ago, depmod failed for some reason.
[10:59] <eigenlambda> so, apparently, now there's no modules.dep
[10:59] <cpk1> ahzid: oops thought you said you had nvdia
[11:00] <Zooliegsm> Ribs thx....i will install totem-xine pack,but there is no way to get some gstreamer config or find out whats its problem?
[11:00] <cpk1> ahzid: linux and ati dont play nice together =\
[11:00] <Warbo> ahzid: Honestly, the text-mode installer is just like the graphical one, but with a hell of a lot fewer pixels :)
[11:00] <ahzid> i never remember saying i had anything D:
[11:00] <eigenlambda> how can i generate it?
[11:00] <Ribs> Zooliegsm: maybe. I'm not an expert on gstreamer, so I can't help you with that one personally.
[11:00] <cpk1> Warbo: can you run the installer from console?
[11:00] <Zooliegsm> Ribs thx anyway!
[11:01] <Ribs> You're welcome :)
[11:01] <Warbo> cpk1: You can use debootstrap, but that's about as advanced as it gets. The proper installer is built into the alternate CD and auto-runs
[11:01] <mboso> is it possible to install ubuntu on a debian system, without wiping out all my info. i.e. just doing an dist upgrade or something like that...
[11:01] <ahzid> i'll try the text installer, warbo, but would that work any better?
[11:01] <Warbo> mboso: You would be best of seperating your files on a seperate /home partition
[11:02] <ahzid> and is it noob friendly?
[11:02] <cpk1> Warbo: wondering if he changed runlevel if he could run the installer from console without xserver running
[11:02] <jrib> kalosaurusrex: fsdriver works well
[11:02] <mwe> Warbo: as far as I can tell you get the bonus of better error messages as well, using the text-mode installer
[11:02] <jrib> kalosaurusrex: please ignore that :)
[11:02] <Warbo> ahzid: I have heard of lots of problems with the graphical installer
[11:02] <eigenlambda> modules.dep died, how do i recreate it?
[11:02] <cpk1> ahzid: tab is your friend in terminal
[11:02] <Arjen> Warning, another newb-question. How come "apt-get install apache" exits with this error: "Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)"? :s
[11:02] <Warbo> mwe: As with anything run on the command line :)
[11:02] <cpk1> Arjen: apache running?
[11:02] <kalosaurusrex> jrib: hmm? lol
[11:02] <mwe> Warbo: heh, yes
[11:02] <Arjen> cpkl, errrr...
[11:03] <Warbo> gatekeeper: That specific to a certain make of printer?
[11:03] <Arjen> cpk1, how do I make sure?
[11:03] <eigenlambda> [daesotho@Pavel:~ ^_^] $ sudo depmod
[11:03] <eigenlambda> Password:
[11:03] <eigenlambda> Segmentation fault
[11:03] <ahzid> so, yeah, i just run the alternate installer and follow the menus, right?
[11:03] <eigenlambda> why does depmod like to segfault without telling you whats wrong?
[11:04] <Warbo> ahzid: Yeah
[11:04] <cpk1> Arjen: /etc/init.d/apache stop
[11:04] <gatekeeper> Warbo: epsons mainly I think, don't know what else it will work with I have a C62
[11:04] <cpk1> as sudo
[11:04] <ahzid> should i make my windows partition bigger?
[11:04] <rebelfallen> What is the easiest way to get all of my data from Fedora to Ubuntu? I am switching my OS but I want to keep my data (like email and such)
[11:04] <Warbo> gatekeeper: OK, I doubt my Lexmark will work then, since even the driver install was labourious
[11:04] <Arjen> cpk1, no proccess found
[11:04] <ahzid> i shrunk it a bit earlier so i could install linux on another one, still has 5 gigs left
[11:04] <Florob> eigenlambda: because programs that segfault never tell you what's wrong (sad truth)
[11:04] <Warbo> rebelfallen: Make a /home partition and don't format it later
[11:04] <eigenlambda> Florob: lol prolly
[11:05] <mwe> Warbo: I don't know if I'm having and OCD about the fragmentation problem, but how does it avoid fragmentation of ever growing files like log files, do you know?
[11:05] <rebelfallen> oohhh smart
[11:05] <eigenlambda> so like... what am i supposed to do about this?
[11:05] <Zooliegsm> oh,another q
[11:05] <eigenlambda> w/e im rebooting randomly
[11:05] <eigenlambda> lata
[11:05] <cpk1> Arjen: you are doing apt-get as sudo right?
[11:05] <Zooliegsm> how can i choose the default player example for mp3? or avi?
[11:05] <Arjen> cpk1, Yes, not that n00bish! :)
[11:05] <cpk1> and synaptic/adept is closed?
[11:05] <Warbo> mwe: I'm not really an expert, but I think the way it rearranges files must take that into account. If you ask me any more I will just reply with "Because of inodes, stupid" :)
[11:06] <gatekeeper> Warbo: you could try it or google escputil for more info, worst come to the worst, doesn't work you uninstall it
[11:06] <Arjen> cpk1, Yes.
[11:06] <Florob> eigenlambda: sudo gdb depmod then run then bt and then file a bug ;)
[11:06] <mwe> Warbo: yeah :)
[11:06] <gatekeeper> Warbo: nothing ventured, nothing gained
[11:06] <Warbo> gatekeeper: It's not actually my printer, it's my Dad's. He couldn't get it running (Lexmark Z25) so he bought a Dell off eBay. Turns out the Dell was a rebranded Lexmark :)
[11:06] <spinelli> j/ #ubuntu-br
[11:07] <Arjen> cpk1, "dpkg: error processing apache (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1", does that help?
[11:07] <Zooliegsm> 	how can i choose the default player example for mp3? or avi?
[11:07] <Sh33p> how easily does ubuntu network with a windows machine? i have an internet connection on another PC which is shared, so i access the net through that. can i still do that if i have ubuntu here?
[11:07] <yggdrasil> darnit, can somone help me control junk in evolution email client? ive got both boxes checked under preferences , mail preferences, junk mail. but i jsut keep gettign a ton. tbird learned after about a week and this just doesnt seem to be learning at all ... ?

[11:07] <gatekeeper> Warbo: uggh I originally had a lexmark but it was too expensive on cartridges so I offloaded it
[11:08] <mwe> Sh33p: very easily
[11:08] <cpk1> Arjen: apt-get -f install help?
[11:08] <Warbo> gatekeeper: Just got a DIY refill kit and it seems to work pretty well
[11:08] <yggdrasil> sh33p yep just use that as your gateway.
[11:08] <gatekeeper> Warbo: think mine was Z25
[11:08] <Sh33p> thanks :)
[11:08] <gatekeeper> Warbo: cool :-)
[11:08] <ahzid> alternate install cd is the text based one, right?
[11:08] <Warbo> ahzid: Yep
[11:09] <Zooliegsm> Warbo i got that,but for my girlfriend its too "dfficoult".so i need to make bmp the default for mp3....how van it possible?
[11:09] <ahzid> okay, and just so i know, should i go for 64 bit or 32 bit?
[11:09] <Florob> yggdrasil: do you have one of the spam plugins activated and spamassasin or bogofilter installed (I remember hearing that the spam filter were actually bogus a the moment because neither spamassasin nor bogofilter are installed by default, but I though that was fixed in dapper...)
[11:09] <ahzid> i have the stuff to run 64, but i've heard bad things (lol wine)
[11:09] <Sh33p> how long does it take launchpad to email me so i can order ubuntu?
[11:10] <Warbo> Zooliegsm: That's the only way really for GNOME. KDE has an application in the Konqueror settings which sets every filetype at once
[11:10] <yggdrasil> florob iin apt-get bogofilter and it says installed and under plugins its listed. and yes spam assasin is checked.
[11:10] <Arjen> cpk1, it somehow worked, i didn't use -f though
[11:10] <cntb> Sh33p order ubuntu ?
[11:10] <Arjen> cpk1, thanks anyway!
[11:10] <yggdrasil> florob i wonder if theres a config for bogofilter ?
[11:10] <mboso> Warbo: I have my files in a separate /home partition. can i leap from debian to Ubuntu without destryoing my data? i'll back up anyway, just curious.
[11:10] <cntb> download and burn maybe Sh33p
[11:10] <Zooliegsm> kk thx
[11:10] <cello_rasp> how do i mount an ISO?
[11:10] <Warbo> Zooliegsm: You realise that the radio button at the side sets the default, right?
[11:10] <Florob> yggdrasil: umm... you have the spamassasion plugin checked and bogofilter installed?
[11:10] <cpk1> Arjen: it might have been the --configure
[11:10] <wheels3572> Do all options work on the live CD ?
[11:10] <yggdrasil> florob yes
[11:11] <LjL> !tell cello_rasp about iso
[11:11] <Florob> yggdrasil: how about checking the bogofilter plugin or installing spamassasin ;)
[11:11] <ahzid> anyway guys, thanks for your help :)
[11:11] <Sh33p> haha... i'm from the home of Ubuntu... South Africa... living in the kingdom of the Zulu... and i have a 1GB cap on my connection... do downloading is out :(
[11:11] <Warbo> mboso: Usually. The only other stuff you might want may be in /usr/local or /etc. If you needed to reconfigure something for example then save the config files to /home to keep them safe
[11:11] <cpk1> ahzid: we dont know if it will work yest =p
[11:11] <yggdrasil> florob yes they are checked .. and have been for the last 2 weeks
[11:11] <pike_> cello_rasp: mount -o loop -t iso9660 /directory/iso /mnt/iso

[11:13] <LjL> nalioth: [I_am_programm]  too
[11:13] <padla>     
[11:13] <LjL> nalioth: and please also tell padla to speak english if you can
[11:13] <bunta> Little question
[11:14] <HedgeMage> King: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[11:14] <DoomStone> My wow only run 15-20 fps (LOWEST details), i know my nvidia drive is installed right, (doomstone@doomstone-desktop:~$ glxgears -printfps -> 51777 frames in 5.1 seconds = 10188.945 FPS), and in windows do i normaly run wow with 60-125fps (Full Details). What can i be doing rong?
[11:14] <Sh33p> ya, i thought so... but it's been about 20minutes already and no mail so i cry
[11:14] <bunta> Is it possible to sort music in amarok in file order?
[11:14] <cntb> nail pipiska ASAP
[11:14] <bunta> and not thru ID1 / 2 tags
[11:14] <padla> i can speak eng but i don't wanna
[11:14] <bunta> since most of my music dont have these tags
[11:14] <padla>   
[11:14] <bunta> Just in their own specific folder
[11:14] <yggdrasil> florob im gonna try bogofilter from console. bogofilter -q
[11:14] <mboso> Warbo: Makes sense. so, if i add an Ubuntu repository to my source.list file, and do a distupgrade, I'll have a nice shiny new ubuntu system?
[11:14] <Warbo> bunta: Amarok can "guess" the tags based on filenames
[11:14] <forevertheuni> :( guys is there a codec for samr?(audio of my videos of HTC Prophet(PDA))?
[11:15] <King> HedgeMage: Thank you!
[11:15] <bunta> Thats the problem, it seems to put songs in different places
[11:15] <HedgeMage> King: np :)
[11:15] <Amaranth> mboso: "upgrades" from debian to ubuntu are not supported
[11:15] <bunta> Due to similarities in names
[11:15] <Warbo> mboso: Well, I was going to say get an Ubuntu disc and tell it where /home is (and don;t format it)
[11:16] <Colloid> is there any way to get openssh's ftp server to chroot users to their home directory?
[11:16] <Warbo> bunta: Check in #amarok, they helped me with some Amarok stuff :)
[11:16] <Tommy2k4> my ubuntu keeps crashing, monitor flashes then says frequency out of range 31khz/0hz, happens randomly after being booted up for a while
[11:16] <bunta> ahh thanks :D
[11:16] <Florob> yggdrasil: First I would only try to use one engine, using both might create problems. Then you should mark and after that unmark some good messages as spam (that willl classify them as ham if you use bogofilter). BTW are only most messages not filtered out or aren't any at all filtered.
[11:16] <WooD> I have installed apache2 and apache is working fine, I have install php5 and php5-mysql but still cant open php file ..  any of you know wich file i'm missing to install ?
[11:16] <Amaranth> wood: install libapache2-mod-php5
[11:16] <yggdrasil> florob its catching one in 20
[11:16] <Viper550> I have a question
[11:16] <ScreaminIke> what do i need to do to establish an ad-hoc wireless connection?
[11:17] <Seveas> Viper550, oh no!
[11:17] <munzir> Hi, how can I install sources? I tried apt-get install xchat-src but it's not there
[11:17] <WooD> Amaranth: thanks
[11:17] <ScreaminIke> (ubuntu 6.06
[11:17] <Viper550> Has anyone been having problems with Gnome-Look lately?
[11:17] <piwi> kernel is updated very often isnt it? I get a new kernel every 3- 7 days in synaptic!!
[11:17] <ScreaminIke> VIPER.... dood. love your art. ;)
[11:17] <Seveas> munzir, apt-get source package_name_here
[11:17] <Viper550> for what?
[11:17] <ScreaminIke> 6.10
[11:17] <LjL> piwi: just a coincidence. there have been two or three updates recently
[11:17] <Amaranth> piwi: right now it's getting lots of work for bug fixes and a couple of security fixes
[11:17] <LjL> piwi: normally it only gets updated when security bugs are found
[11:17] <WooD> Amaranth: it is already installed
[11:17] <cpk1> piwi: you fix your sources.list?
[11:17] <yggdrasil> florob ill uncheck spamassasin and see if bogo can take it over on its own
[11:18] <mboso> Warbo: It's probably smarter to just do a fresh install. ah well.
[11:18] <Warbo> mboso: That's what I said :)
[11:18] <Amaranth> wood: it should be working then, that's all i know how to do
[11:18] <piwi> LjL: Amaranth: okay but since im using ubuntu for 10 days now... :D
[11:18] <WooD> Amaranth: probably I have to restart apache or the server ?
[11:18] <Hieu> Is there anything else I could try to get this installation to complete?
[11:18] <ScreaminIke> what do i need to do to establish an ad-hoc wireless connection?
[11:19] <King> Will linux read my NTFS XP admin only owned and read cabaple of files if I burn them to cd/dvd in Linux or XP. Im thinking of mocing all my personal data under Linux
[11:19] <Amaranth> wood: oh yes, you have to run 'sudo invoke-rc.d apache restart' after installing it
[11:19] <Florob> yggdrasil: if it's catching any than in theory you just have to feed it's bad word list some more, but of course that should be faster than "a few weeks"
[11:19] <piwi> cpk1: yeah I updated the keys and stuff, I just have problem with ftp.free.fr for FLP repo and security.ubuntu.com that is sometimes unreachable
[11:19] <Viper550> Anyone know what might be wrong?
[11:19] <munzir> Seveas: thx a lot. I didn't thought it's that easy ;)
[11:19] <WooD> Amaranth: ok thanks
[11:19] <yggdrasil> florob i agree ive seen, tbird pull it off after a few days .
[11:19] <yggdrasil> ill work with it just thought iwas on the wrong track
[11:19] <Warbo> King: CDs and DVDs have filesystems which are fully Linux compatible. NTFS is read only (unless you're brave)
[11:19] <homerh_linux> hiya ppl googled and looked every where i know and still no joy with a answer to my problem  The package index files are corrupted. No Filename: field for package ****
[11:20] <LjL> homerh_linux: does a "sudo apt-get update" not fix that?
[11:20] <gregg__> Warbo: actually, NTFS can now be considered to have stable rw support
[11:20] <yacek19> there is a problem with apt-get update: Pob: 7 http://archive.ubuntu.com dapper/multiverse Packages [121kB]  99% [7 Packages gzip 0]  gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
[11:20] <gregg__> Warbo: ntfs-3g
[11:20] <homerh_linux> yeah ive tryed them all ,clean .upgrade and update
[11:21] <Warbo> gregg__: I heard that Free support is now more stable than captive, but it's not easily installable as far as I know (in the repos)
[11:21] <Shak-> is it possible to fix the length of the tabs of open applications in gnome? on the bottom bar, they all adjust width to the title of the window and its quite annoying to see it constantly changing
[11:21] <cpk1> !games
[11:21] <ubotu> Information about games on Ubuntu can be found on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php
[11:21] <King> Warbo: So I dont loose any data even though XP admin account has all the rights to my files? Linux can access them and copy them to harddrive from dc/dvd?
[11:21] <Warbo> gregg__: I would test it, but I have no NTFS to write to :)
[11:21] <piwi> btw, how can I avoid to have 3 kernels + safemode for each + memtest + wxp pro in grub? I just want latest kernel + safemode + memtest + xppro
[11:22] <gregg__> Warbo: well, captive was never stable and SLOW
[11:22] <Warbo> King: Linux cares not for Windows' puny admin account!Hah ha ha ha!
[11:22] <LjL> piwi: remove the older kernels.
[11:22] <Warbo> sorry :)
[11:22] <Down_II> has anyone had success on installing ubuntu dapper on an external usb hard drive. I've looked thru the ubuntu forums and found little to no info on how to do this
[11:22] <dli> homerh_linux, apt-get -f install
[11:22] <LjL> piwi: use the package manager of your preference for that (apt-get, aptitude, synaptic...)
[11:22] <King> Warbo: OK lol
[11:22] <gregg__> Down_II: this works just like a normal hard disk install AFAIK
[11:23] <cpk1> Down_II: I am running kubuntu dapper off an external HDD right now
[11:23] <gregg__> no differences at all
[11:23] <Warbo> Down_II: I am running off USB HD fine
[11:23] <piwi> LjL: it doesnt affect my system, does it? whats the point in having 78749878 installed kernels?
[11:23] <dli> Down_II, installing to usb is the same as hdd, unless you want to make it a liveusb (to be working on any machine)
[11:23] <accrc> hey
[11:23] <Down_II> oh thanks will i be able to dual boot xp and ubuntu then
[11:24] <Warbo> piwi: The kernels are in linux-image-version so get rid of those packages you don't want
[11:24] <LjL> piwi: no, it won't affect your system. there is no point except that having a "fallback" kernel can be nice. there are valid reasons why they're not removed automatically, though
[11:24] <gregg__> piwi: uninstall the old kernels; the post-uninstall scripts should remove the entries from the grub menu *I think*
[11:24] <homerh_linux> dli didnt work ;(
[11:24] <piwi> gregg__: nope it doesnt
[11:24] <gregg__> piwi: edit menu.lst by hand then
[11:24] <dli> homerh_linux, never say, " didn't work", pastebin the error message
[11:24] <mwe> I'm having linux on a single hdd partition and swap. no external drives. so there is no way to fsck this I guess?
[11:24] <Warbo> Down_II: If your PC can boot USB then usually. You may need to install the bootloader to the internal drive, if you are trying to keep Ubuntu seperate by installing it on an external drive
[11:24] <accrc> I have a imac g3 and am running into the issue addressed here: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75604&highlight=imac+g3+live+cd+blank ...but ctrl option f1 does nothing for me in the black screen..just drops me to a useless cursor which doesn't respond to any commands...using ubuntu 6.05 ...help?
[11:24] <morrolan> Does anyone else have a problem with totem closing instantly if opened from the meu rather than by double-clicking a movie file?  http://pastebin.ca/93910 Is the output from a terminal
[11:25] <accrc> what do I need to do to get to terminal?
[11:25] <cpk1> mwe: man tune2fs
[11:25] <homerh_linux> dli ok will pastebin the lot
[11:25] <King> gregg_: Some people in here claim that writing from Linux to NTFS in Ubuntu is no way concidered safe cos data loss is likely to happen. Any sources to back up that writing from Linux to NTFS is safe without the possibility of data loss or corrupted NTFS? <-----------------
[11:25] <accrc> please help
[11:25] <mwe> cpk1: huh?
[11:25] <gregg__> King: well, if you use ntfs-3g it should be safe
[11:25] <Florob> yggdrasi: I just found a message saying that due to a bug in earlier versions you even had to remove the spamassasion plugin from the plugin directory, so it's not really unprobable that spamassasin has taken (or better not taken) all the spam. Also it seems to be a somewhat known fact that spamassasin sucks (https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/9870)
[11:25] <morrolan> accrc: either open Gnome-terminal (CTRL+ALT+HOME) or press CTRL+ALT+F1
[11:25] <mwe> cpk1: I want to check the file system
[11:25] <dli> King, ntfs is not open source, that's the fundamental problem
[11:25] <cpk1> mwe: you want to do an fsck? look at the tune2fs man
[11:26] <homerh_linux> !pastbin
[11:26] <ubotu> I know nothing about pastbin - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[11:26] <accrc> k I'
[11:26] <LjL> King: using the fuse ntfs driver is supposedly safe, except that it will only work randomly with some files and not others. but at least in theory, it should just refuse to work with the ones it doesn't work with, and not damage anything
[11:26] <gregg__> King: ntfs-3g is quite new though (5 days)
[11:26] <accrc> ll try gnome terminal
[11:26] <homerh_linux> opps where the link for pastebin
[11:26] <morrolan> homerh_linux:  http://pastebin.ca
[11:26] <homerh_linux> thanks
[11:26] <cpk1> mwe: although i think what you want to do is tune2fs -C 99
[11:26] <morrolan> any time
[11:26] <morrolan> Does anyone else have a problem with totem closing instantly if opened from the meu rather than by double-clicking a movie file?  http://pastebin.ca/93910 Is the output from a terminal
[11:26] <Warbo> King: The older attempts at NTFS support basically consisted of looking at an NTFS drive, writing something to it (in Windows), seeing what had changed, deleting it, seeing what had changed, etc.
[11:27] <DoctorMO> the machine is copying windows even to the point of producing lots of errors. haha
[11:27] <piwi> gregg__: where is it?
[11:27] <gregg__> piwi: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:27] <dli> morrolan, totem has some bugs :( try xine/mplayer/vlc
[11:27] <gregg__> piwi: try locate next time ;p
[11:28] <accrc> so has anyone else had experience with my issue?
[11:28] <King> TOPIC: ntfs-3g. Does anyone have any experience from that? What problems did you have. <-----------------------------------------
[11:28] <homerh_linux> dli http://pastebin.ca/93917
[11:28] <mwe> cpk1: yeah to make it look like it's time to fsck at boot. that makes sense
[11:28] <morrolan> I'll try VLC, as Gxine I have problems with, and I want menu support in DVD's, which Mplayer didn't have last time I checked.
[11:28] <mwe> cpk1: the problem is it's reiserfs though
[11:28] <Zooliegsm> hello again
[11:29] <Shak-> is it neccessary to run some sort of anti-virus software on linux?
[11:29] <Warbo> morrolan: Ogle has excellent DVD menu support last time I tried it
[11:29] <cpk1> mwe: you dont have tune2fs?
[11:29] <Zooliegsm> this gstreamer replaced to xine didnt helped me
[11:29] <LjL> Shak-: it's generally considered to be unnecessary by most.
[11:29] <mwe> cpk1: yes but I don't think it works with reiserfs
[11:29] <piwi> gregg__: how do I know which kernel version si running now
[11:29] <mwe> cpk1: only ext2/3
[11:29] <Shak-> LjL: ah ok cool
[11:29] <Warbo> uname -r
[11:29] <gregg__> piwi: uname
[11:29] <Warbo> piwi ^^
[11:29] <mwe> cpk1: right?
[11:29] <Zooliegsm> so i got another question.....how can i mount an ext3 partition to make mount on startup.any howto?
[11:29] <cpk1> mwe: you try tune2fs -C 99?
[11:29] <King> TOPIC: ntfs-3g. Any experience from this? Anyone? <-----------------
[11:30] <Shak-> is the recommended firewall Firestarter?
[11:30] <dli> homerh_linux, follow easy source, clean up your sources.list, and do " apt-get -f update "
[11:30] <Sh33p> can wine on ubuntu run CS through steam?
[11:30] <piwi> gregg__: says linux nothing more
[11:30] <jrib> !fstab > Zooliegsm
[11:30] <cpk1> mwe: I have no idea, i enjoy having journaling and being able to pull files from a HDD even when it is dying
[11:30] <Warbo> Zooliegsm: Things which are mounted at boot are put in /etc/fstab
[11:30] <piwi> Warbo: thx
[11:30] <morrolan> Shak: yes
[11:30] <avalean> LjL isnt it because it isnt viruses but more exploits and code vulnerabilities?
[11:30] <gregg__> King: check this thread: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=23836054&forum_id=2697
[11:30] <Zooliegsm> !fstab
[11:30] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file lists all drives and partitions that are mounted on the system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !partitions
[11:30] <Warbo> !firestarter
[11:30] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed with iptables (in the command line), firestarter (gui, can also setup connection sharing) or shorewall (web interface)
[11:30] <skavenge> Shak-: thats just a frontend for iptables which is the standard linux firewall but its probably the most popular frontend yes
[11:30] <cpk1> !reiserfs
[11:30] <ubotu> reiserfs is a journalling file system, in benchmarks it outperforms many others on I/O operations, but they take notoriously long to mount.
[11:30] <gregg__> piwi: uname -a :) or -r, like Warbo said
[11:30] <LjL> avalean: that may be part of the reasons, yeah
[11:30] <Shak-> ah ok
[11:31] <King> gregg_: thanks for the link
[11:31] <Shak-> what would happen if I ran a trojan or opened a virus containting document using wine?
[11:31] <piwi> gregg__: Warbo* thanks for your help I am rebooting now to use the new kernel :)
[11:31] <Warbo> Shak-: Firestarter just configures the firewall already installed
[11:31] <avalean> :)
[11:31] <morrolan> My answer was the simplest :o)
[11:31] <avalean> haha
[11:31] <Warbo> Shak-: There have been studies and most viruses don't work well in WINE
[11:31] <GaiaX11> Shak-: Linux is not Window$. Since I started using linux I have never run an anti-virus in the system. But, there are some anti-virus to run if you like.
[11:31] <mwe> cpk1: it complains about a bad superblock. I suspect it's because it's looking for an ext superblock
[11:31] <morrolan> Shak: I've not used shorewall, but Firestarter will be more like what you are used to in Windows etc.
[11:31] <ballpointcarrot> anyone use the SciTE text editor?
[11:31] <mwe> lol it takes long to mount?!
[11:32] <Warbo> Shak-: They are usually called stuff like "Why Linux is not ready for the desktop" :)
[11:32] <mwe> my partition mount in a millisecond or so
[11:32] <Shak-> lol
[11:32] <dli> mwe, don't use reiserfs :)
[11:32] <gatekeeper> ballpointcarrot: in windows yep :-)
[11:32] <Zooliegsm> !partitions
[11:32] <ubotu> Disks store lots of data. Partitioning: try gparted or qtparted  - Formatting: see the manpage for mkfs  - Mounting: system -> administration -> disks
[11:32] <morrolan> The biggest use of anti-virus is if you use a linux box as a gateway to some windows machines
[11:32] <accrc> please help ...ctrlaltf1 doesn'twork
[11:32] <mwe> dli: why not. it's too late anyway
[11:32] <cpk1> mwe: reiserfsck?
[11:32] <dli> mwe, unlikely, most hdd takes several ms to seek
[11:32] <morrolan> accrc
[11:32] <synth> Anyone able to successfully apt-get libcupsys2-dev ?  It wont install for me, says something about a version mismatch. im runnin 6.06 w/all the normal updates, what gives
[11:32] <accrc> it just drops me to a cursor that doesn't respond to any commands
[11:32] <avalean> i feel linux is in the windows 98 phase of a desktop, it works fine, but there are a lot of problems and quirks
[11:33] <mwe> cpk1: it cannot run on a mounted fs
[11:33] <Warbo> accrc: You can boot into recovery mode, same thing basically
[11:33] <morrolan> accrc: Does anything happen when you press that combi?
[11:33] <ballpointcarrot> gatekeeper: unfortunately, it doesn't crash on glibc in windows...
[11:33] <accrc> yeah, it drops me to a cursor that responds to nothing
[11:33] <dli> mwe, reiserfs has well known problems leading to user data loss
[11:33] <morrolan> accrc:  try F3 instead of F1
[11:33] <polpak> avalean: as opposed to the problems and quirks of XP?
[11:33] <accrc> in a recovery session does it setup a x config file?
[11:33] <synth> dli: current issues or past issues?
[11:33] <dli> mwe, ext3/jfs, or xfs with UPS are considered more stable
[11:33] <dli> synth, design issue
[11:34] <Warbo> avalean: Yes, but Windows 98 was unified, but with such a diverse thing as "Linux" (which is actually drastically different programs running on drastically different machines) there is bound to be some trouble
[11:34] <accrc> er how would I install via recovery mode?
[11:34] <mwe> dli: well the journal has worked fo me in several years but maybe so
[11:34] <gatekeeper> ballpointcarrot: familiar with c++?
[11:34] <synth> dli: how so prae tell?
[11:34] <synth> b-trees? :D
[11:34] <accrc> ???
[11:34] <cpk1> mwe: it should be able to run readonly
[11:34] <mwe> dli: well several being about 2
[11:34] <La_PaRCa> Is there a way that I can run certain scripts automatically when I plug in my ipod?
[11:34] <ballpointcarrot> gatekeeper: not really.  That's my next to learn.
[11:34] <avalean> Warbo: very true that linux is a much larger and complex system
[11:34] <avalean> which is the good thing about it
[11:34] <morrolan> accrc: what exactly is the problem you're having?
[11:35] <Warbo> accrc: There is no recovery mode for installation, just in an installed system (the option "single" is give nto the kernel at boot)
[11:35] <dli> synth, mwe /j #debian, ask dpkg about reiserfs
[11:35] <Zooliegsm> ok,i have ext3 on this partition........how can i know what its name? example hda4 or something?
[11:35] <avalean> hence with such a simple desktop it was in its phase in 98 with windows and it in the same phase in 2006 with linux
[11:35] <accrc> in thatthread, as mentioned... the g3 mac has a problem with a bad x config made upon boot of the live cd which leaves one with a blank screen
[11:35] <cpk1> Zooliegsm: fstab
[11:35] <Warbo> Zooliegsm: Check fdisk -l
[11:35] <GaiaX11> avalean: It can be but Linux as a whole is far ahead of window$. I don't see as you see, though :-)
[11:35] <morrolan> La_PaRCa: I can think of how to write one :)
[11:35] <mwe> cpk1: yes. but I'm not sure how to remount the root fs read only
[11:35] <dli> synth, mwe, reiser4 is considered better, but again, still experimental
[11:35] <accrc> the thread says to do ctrl alt f1 to get to a prompt and fix the x config file but that combo never brings up a prompt for me
[11:35] <La_PaRCa> morrolan, please do enlighten me
[11:35] <accrc> just a cursor that responds to nothing
[11:35] <gatekeeper> ballpointcarrot: well source code exists for SciTE and scintilla and it's not too difficult to understand
[11:36] <accrc> but I can typer
[11:36] <synth> dli: yeah, the guy is constantly changing crap
[11:36] <avalean> GaiaX11 im not downstepping linux at all :) i love it and its far superior to windows
[11:36] <accrc> can I install via recovery mode???
[11:36] <skavenge> it may not be as user friendly or 'polished' but it has waay more capability
[11:36] <avalean> but if i would compare, it would be like that
[11:36] <King> PROBLEM: Tried to install build-essentials but it didnt do the whole thing. There was an error message in the end for some files it tryed to download. Is build-essentials working now? Do I have to reboot? make command is still not working. Help. <--------------------------
[11:36] <steinpt> anyone with a TP T41 (firegl 9000, r250) successfully running xgl/compiz?
[11:36] <gregg__> synth: hans reiser?
[11:36] <synth> dli: im just down on ext3 lately, and went back to reiserfs for my root
[11:36] <synth> gregg__: yeah
[11:36] <accrc> can I and if so, how do I install via recovery mode?
[11:36] <cpk1> mwe: reiserfsck --help look for a read only option
[11:36] <dli> synth, that Reiser has some good points, for sure, but that doesn't make reiserfs a good fs
[11:36] <polpak> synth I prefer xfs to reiser
[11:36] <gatekeeper> ballpointcarrot: sorry I can't help you with you glibc problem
[11:36] <Zooliegsm> cpk1 and Warbo : fstab and fdisk - nothing happens!!!!
[11:37] <synth> dli: ive seen a ton of a customers of ours have failures w/reiser
[11:37] <gregg__> synth: well, and reiser4 isn't that great after all...
[11:37] <Warbo> La_PaRCa: You can specify a command (including a script) to run when an iPod is plugged in with System>Preferences>Removable Drives And Media I think
[11:37] <morrolan> La_PaRCa:  What you want to do is monitor the mount point (/media/ipod) etc, and have it periodically check to see if there are any files in there - when it is not mounted, the mount point is empty, hence do nothing.  When it detects a file, you want your script to do a diff on your music directory to keep it upto date
[11:37] <ballpointcarrot> gatekeeper: all right. if you want it, nasty little pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18461
[11:37] <accrc> can I and if so, how do I install via recovery mode?
[11:37] <dli> synth, jfs is recommended, when someone wants something other than ext3
[11:37] <morrolan> La_PaRCa: or you can use Warbo's much more efficient method!
[11:37] <synth> dli: i figured though, its cause theyre not using the right flags for the mount. there are ways to get data integrity at the cost of raw write speed w/reiser
[11:37] <synth> apt for servers
[11:37] <gregg__> synth: I've also seen that reiser is very sensitive when it comes to hardware failures, like RAM errors
[11:37] <cpk1> Zooliegsm: "cat /etc/fstab
[11:38] <La_PaRCa> Warbo, can more than one script be attached to a gnome-volume-manager event?
[11:38] <accrc> can I and if so, how do I install via recovery mode?
[11:38] <Warbo> Zooliegsm: "fdisk -l" lists the partitions you have. "mount" will tell you what partitions are currently mounted and "cat /etc/fstab" will show you the default partitions for the system (those mounted at boot)
[11:38] <accrc> ???
[11:38] <Milk> odd question... I've got a DVD that I
[11:38] <accrc> help!!!
[11:38] <Milk> eer
[11:38] <Warbo> La_PaRCa: Probably not, but a script can do more than one thing :)
[11:38] <accrc> me!!!
[11:38] <dli> synth, right, even namesys.com doesn't support reiserfs now, except for bug fixing, they should take reiserfs out of the stable kernel
[11:38] <morrolan> La_PaRCa: write one script that begins 2!
[11:38] <synth> gregg__: its definetly the new kid on the block and doesnt have the maturity of other FS's ;)

[11:38] <gatekeeper> King: you could try a reinstall
[11:38] <Warbo> accrc: You cannot install via recovery mode.
[11:38] <synth> dli: oh really?
[11:38] <La_PaRCa> Warbo, the thing is, I have both a psp and an ipod and they are both detected as music devices!
[11:38] <accrc> then what should I do??
[11:38] <Milk> I've got a dvd I've purchased online and had to return twice for not playing in any player... is there any way to force this computer to read it or otherwise troubleshoot the problem?
[11:38] <Warbo> accrc: You can install in text mode with the alternate CD though
[11:39] <niko> Has anybody here gotten conky to use different fonts?
[11:39] <La_PaRCa> Warbo, I was wondering if I could make it only for the ipod?
[11:39] <gatekeeper> accrc: not that!
[11:39] <accrc> how do I use the alternate cd?
[11:39] <morrolan> !flood
[11:39] <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)
[11:39] <accrc> is it a seperate iso?
[11:39] <Zooliegsm> Warbo for fdisk -l nothing happens.
[11:39] <synth> well damn you guys have me second guessing reiser as a root heh.
[11:39] <synth> maybe i'll look at xfs and jfs
[11:39] <mwe> how can you remount / ro? is it even possible on a running system?
[11:39] <jrib> Zooliegsm: sudo fdisk -l
[11:39] <martianul`> hello
[11:39] <gregg__> accrc: flooding the channel like that mostly will stop people from helping you!
[11:39] <cpk1> Zooliegsm: you try "cat /etc/fstab"
[11:39] <morrolan> La_PaRCa: have your script read which mount point is being used, and then act accordingly?
[11:40] <martianul`> i have a small question
[11:40] <synth> xfs has ACL goodness built in
[11:40] <accrc> how do I use the alternative cd???
[11:40] <JUDGE_> Has anyone been able to overcome the problem when the LIVE CD works with yoru network, but the INSTALL does not?
[11:40] <dli> synth, xfs requires a UPS, no power dump
[11:40] <Warbo> La_PaRCa: You could make a script which checks "ls /media/whatever/ | grep -c "file"" then it will give a 1 if a certain file is detected and zero if not. Give it an iPod specific file and you can now tell the difference :)
[11:40] <accrc> wekkll why won't anyone help me?
[11:40] <jrib> accrc: it is a different iso that you download
[11:40] <martianul`> ubuntu ... what space need? it fits in 2 giga?
[11:40] <cpk1> mwe: the ro is for the program, so it can tell you if your HDD has problems, but it wont fix them
[11:40] <synth> dli, oh yeah, i have an ext3 raid array here, i have batteries :D
[11:40] <accrc> people are ignoring me anyways
[11:40] <s1gnal`> ??
[11:40] <King> gatekeeper: re-installing now but I dont believe it will work. why so many problems with linux :headbanger:
[11:40] <jrib> !patience > accrc
[11:40] <synth> dli, 1.4tb's on the desktop :D
[11:40] <ardchoille> accrc: No one wants to help because you disrepected all of us by spamming "help"?
[11:40] <dli> synth, for a server, xfs should be right, it's designed for servers
[11:40] <gregg__> martianul`: that's not enough for a full-fledged desktop system
[11:41] <synth> no doubt
[11:41] <martianul`> :|
[11:41] <Warbo> !support
[11:41] <ubotu> For your support options, see http://www.ubuntu.com/support
[11:41] <martianul`> how much space it needs for ubuntu?
[11:41] <Zooliegsm> jrib,ok thx it worked with sudo sry for my lame
[11:41] <Warbo> wrong one
[11:41] <King> gatekeeper: re-installing worked
[11:41] <synth> god i cant compile wine, because 6.06 doesnt have proper libcupsys2-dev
[11:41] <jrib> Zooliegsm: no need to apologize
[11:41] <Warbo> Which is the one that says "we are volunteers"?
[11:41] <gregg__> martianul`: try "server" install and/or xubuntu
[11:41] <synth> its tryin to pull some other version of libcupsys down
[11:41] <mwe> cpk1: I don't see any ro option with reiserfsck --help
[11:41] <morrolan> accrc:  people are willing to help *if they know how* at that moment in time.  There are a lot of people wanting help, and everyone is helping each other, so please be patient if it appears that you have been missed.
[11:41] <Imme> !patience to me
[11:41] <synth> or rather fails cause it cant
[11:41] <ubotu> I know nothing about patience to me - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[11:41] <Warbo> ah
[11:41] <Imme> !patience > Imme
[11:42] <martianul`> oky
[11:42] <martianul`> thanks
[11:42] <mwe> cpk1: and when i try reiserfsck /dev/hda1 it tells me it cannot run on a r/w mounted fs
[11:42] <martianul`> but
[11:42] <martianul`> a full install
[11:42] <King> Warbo: We all contribute to the Ubuntu HUMANITY FOR ALL <----------------
[11:42] <martianul`> how much it needs?
[11:42] <dli> synth, install libcupsys2-dev
[11:42] <Zooliegsm> so,i see that it's a win95 ext'd (LBA) and a HPFS/NTFS but i already formatted it to ext3 with gparted......now what i need to do to make this completely ext3
[11:42] <cpk1> mwe:  is there a -n?
[11:42] <piwi> Warbo: latest kernel is 26, correct?
[11:42] <gatekeeper> ballpointcarrot: looks like a bug! [scite: free(): invalid pointer: 0x083b0b80]  is the problem, it is trying to free memory that has either not been allocated or has already been freed, you would need to debug the source to identify exactly what you need to do to fix the problem, or at least the developer does
[11:42] <gregg__> mwe: two options. a) just a live cd b) enter single user mode
[11:42] <Warbo> King: Even spiders? I don't like spiders.....
[11:42] <gregg__> s/just/use/
[11:42] <Warbo> piwi: In Ubuntu yes
[11:42] <synth> dli: it says libcupsys2-dev: Depends: libcupsys2 (= 1.2.0-0ubuntu5) but 1.2.1-0ubuntu2 is to be installed
[11:42] <azureal> hi, how can i run synaptic package manager from the terminal?
[11:43] <Imme> !usage > Imme
[11:43] <mwe> cpk1: yeah, make it not complain. do you think that's safe?
[11:43] <Warbo> (there are 2.6.17 kernels out in the wild)
[11:43] <martianul`> how much space it needs for full install? :)
[11:43] <jrib> azureal: gksudo synaptic
[11:43] <morrolan> I can't wait for Edgy - hopefully it will have intelligent dependency management when uninstalling packages
[11:43] <ardchoille> azureal: gksu synaptic ?
[11:43] <piwi> Warbo: thanks
[11:43] <cpk1> mwe: reiserfsck -n should work provided it works the same as fsck, nm -n is different for reiserfs then
[11:43] <jrib> morrolan: have you used aptitude?
[11:43] <King> Warbo: haha. dont crack me up
[11:43] <cpk1> mwe: is there an option to not make changes?
[11:43] <Warbo> martianul`: About 2GB
[11:43] <ballpointcarrot> gatekeeper: I'll probably just apt-build another version, and hopefully that'll work.
[11:43] <GaiaX11> azureal: sudo synaptic &
[11:43] <dli> synth, clean up your sources.list
[11:44] <Zooliegsm> so,i see that it's a win95 ext'd (LBA) and a HPFS/NTFS but i already formatted it to ext3 with gparted......now what i need to do to make this completely ext3
[11:44] <amaia> hi, can anyone advise me a vpn client to connect to a windows server VPN server?
[11:44] <dli> synth, you mess up with some 3-rd party entries
[11:44] <azureal> thx
[11:44] <rebelfallen> when in Terminal how can I check my current server path
[11:44] <dli> synth, http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=libcupsys&searchon=names&subword=1&version=dapper&release=all
[11:44] <morrolan> jrib: no?
[11:44] <JUDGE_> amia .. i belive there is an answer to that question in the guide.
[11:44] <ardchoille> azureal: sorry, it's gksu /usr/sbin/synaptic
[11:44] <gatekeeper> ballpointcarrot: good luck, but I would also post a bug report so they know there is a problem
[11:44] <mwe> cpk1: hmm. not explicitly. --check(default) which tells me it can't on a r/w mounted fs
[11:44] <jrib> Zooliegsm: that doesn't get changed for some reason with gparted (happened to me too) but it's ok, just mount it as ext3
[11:44] <azureal> gksudo synaptic seemed to work
[11:45] <amaia> martianul`: my installation with ubuntu and kubuntu takes 4GB
[11:45] <mwe> cpk1: I guess boot to single user mode maybe. that should be read only, not?
[11:45] <jrib> morrolan: give it a try, if you install a package with aptitude and then try to remove that package, aptitude will also remove any unneeded dependencies
[11:45] <amaia> JUDGE_: sorry, what guide?
[11:45] <azureal> rebelfallen: you mean 'pwd' ?
[11:45] <Warbo> I have almost filled my 250GB drive, but I suppose that is just me :)
[11:45] <yggdrasil> how can i use the ir port to send something to my phone ? ?
[11:45] <amaia> first time here
[11:45] <morrolan> jrib: does it allow me to "clean" a system already installed using synaptic?
[11:46] <jrib> morrolan: no, but there is deborphan for that
[11:46] <martianul`> thank you ... then my 2 giga partition will work ... cheers!
[11:46] <Shadowpillar> who here knows what the options are for the tulip driver?
[11:46] <rebelfallen> thanks azureal
[11:46] <morrolan> deborphan?

[11:46] <azureal> np
[11:46] <Warbo> morrolan: debfoster is useful for really controlling the installed packages
[11:46] <mwe> Warbo: what the heck are you keeping there? your movie collection or sth :)
[11:46] <amaia> gonna check
[11:46] <azureal> rebelfallen: pwd might seem strange, but it stands for 'print working directory'
[11:46] <Warbo> mwe: I have loads of CD images and emulator virtual HDs :)
[11:46] <dli> Warbo, or deborphan
[11:47] <morrolan> Warbo: it isn't really control - I like installing programs to play with them, see what they can do, then I uninstall a lot of them
[11:47] <yggdrasil> hmmk irda-utils looks like a good start
[11:47] <JUDGE_> ok last time.. anyone experience a working network with the LIVE CD and then after install the network doesnt work? (and have you been able to fix it?)
[11:47] <LjL> morrolan: aptitude is best for that
[11:47] <ballpointcarrot> gatekeeper: I was looking to see if anyone else had experienced this problem.
[11:47] <Warbo> deborphan gives a list of packages which it thinks aren't required. debfoster asks you which things you want, then gets rid of the ones you don't
[11:47] <pike_> JUDGE_: ethernet or wifi?
[11:47] <cpk1> mwe: mountconfig as sudo mount let you unmount/remote as readonly
[11:48] <Khamael> is there any graphic nes emulators for ubuntu?

[11:48] <gatekeeper> ballpointcarrot: probable need to try googling
[11:48] <ballpointcarrot> Khamael: fceu, tuxnes (might not have apt packages)
[11:48] <dli> Khamael, zsnes
[11:48] <JoaoJoao> how do I enable "pptp passthrough" in Ubuntu?
[11:49] <Zooliegsm> this lost and found folder is default on ext3?
[11:49] <Khamael> dli: I think zsnes is a snes emu

[11:49] <pike_> JUDGE_: paste that to the link below
[11:49] <LjL> Khamael: i'm not sure what you mean by "graphic", but "apt-cache search nes emulator" and "apt-cache search nintendo emulator" do show quite a few things that look interesting, if you have multiverse enabled.

[11:50] <Zooliegsm> this lost and found folder is default on ext3?
[11:50] <Warbo> LjL: I think graphical refers to a GUI config window
[11:50] <Warbo> Zooliegsm: Yes
[11:50] <Khamael> LjL: I mean not commandline based. like nesticle
[11:50] <ForeClosure> hmm
[11:51] <Zooliegsm> ok,that show that its an ext3 partition and not ntfs
[11:51] <JUDGE_> paste that line in the search field on pastebin site?
[11:51] <Warbo> Zooliegsm: Sometimes after a crash or something the data about a file is lost (like where it is supposed to be) even though the file is OK, so it gets put there
[11:51] <ForeClosure> how i wanna change my screen reso ?
[11:51] <Warbo> !fixres
[11:51] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (GNOME), sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart (KDE) To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[11:51] <Zooliegsm> so i automount it
[11:51] <ForeClosure> atm .. i just can have max reso 1024x768
[11:51] <pike_> JUDGE_: paste the output of that command to the paste bin
[11:51] <JUDGE_> oh!
[11:51] <JUDGE_> ok
[11:52] <ForeClosure> thanks Warbo
[11:52] <techrush> how can i make it so synaptic downloads a fresh .deb file for a particular app instead of just re-using the on ive downloaded previously
[11:52] <homerh_linux> dli thanks mate sorted out my repos and now it all works ;)
[11:52] <cpk1> could anyone tell me why i get an X error when i open gui's from a terminal, here is the full output http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18462
[11:53] <JUDGE_> ok .. I did that
[11:53] <LjL> techrush: dunno from inside synaptic, but you can "sudo apt-get clean" to clean the package cache. also make sure you update, either from synaptic or "sudo apt-get update"
[11:53] <synth> thanks dli, i got it now
[11:54] <ETronik> Hi all!  anybody having trouble connecting USB disks (usbkeys?) in the latest Dapper (and latest updates)?? the thingues just don't automount anymore...
[11:54] <LjL> cpk1: i get the same errors with most apps too, but they usually do work
[11:54] <JUDGE_> is that so you can see the output pike_?
[11:54] <Vilkacis> I have just installed the latest build, which I downloaded from ubuntu.com. It installed, restarted, "Uncompressing Linux... 0k, booting the kernel." and is now hanging at that spot, perminently, no matter what I do.
[11:54] <techrush> LjL, thanks
[11:54] <dli> cpk1, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1124250
[11:54] <cpk1> ljl: they work, but it makes my terminal all messy and I dont like the spam, i get it when i apt-get install too
[11:55] <Evan_> help i installed windows ,then grub diddnt work anymore so i reinstalled grub ,now my system starts up with the grub console what sould i do?
[11:55] <Warbo> !grub
[11:55] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[11:55] <dli> Evan_, fix your /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:55] <Vilkacis> So what do I do if Ubuntu hangs after booting the kernel?
[11:55] <Evan_> Dli ho?
[11:55] <LjL> cpk1: if you get it when you apt-get install, i suppose it might be because you told debconf to try to use the gnome/kde modules for configuring. for actual X apps, i think your best bet is running the app with "2>/dev/null", or, well, why not just run it from outside a terminal :o)
[11:56] <dli> Evan_, if you don't know how to boot from grub console, boot livecd
[11:56] <pike_> JUDGE_: so what does it say if you do sudo ifup eth0
[11:56] <Evan_> Dli i cant burn cds
[11:56] <JUDGE_> doing that now.. one sec
[11:56] <dli> Evan_, okay, boot from grub console
[11:57] <JUDGE_> it says ifup: interface eth0 already configured
[11:57] <cpk1> ljl: even when i install through adept i get the same thing if i do "show details"
[11:57] <Vilkacis> T_T
[11:57] <Evan_> Dli i am ready abouth a unofficial grub restore floppy
[11:58] <LjL> cpk1: yeah, i think that's debconf that's configured with an X module. run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure debconf" and change that.
[11:58] <dli> Evan_, I don't know that, with grub console, you can boot your kernel on hdd
[11:58] <shadeofgrey> hey everybody
[11:58] <Vilkacis> What do I do if Ubuntu hangs after booting the kernel? It just freezes there and won't do anything.
[11:58] <pike_> JUDGE_: then ping google.com does that work?
[11:59] <JUDGE_> one sec
[11:59] <shadeofgrey> whats the best program to use for ripping audio CD's into 320 bit rate mp3 files?
