[12:01] <sysdoc> _Spire_, url please?
[12:01] <c0de> dli: How do I restart gdm ?
[12:01] <chx> analiser: ?
[12:01] <troy1of2> Well, I tried it in the GUI and it said only root can so how should I do it in the console?
[12:01] <Jowi> c0de: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[12:01] <_Spire_> sysdoc: just edit your sources.list. do a find and replace and replace all instances of 'us' with 'uk'
[12:01] <Subhuman> troy1of2, to run a gui app as root, do "gksudo applicationame"
[12:01] <_Spire_> sysdoc: or any other 2 letter country code
[12:02] <gatekeeper> sysdoc: just remove us. alternatively I think you might also be able to replace with ca.
[12:02] <raj> troy1of2, make folder in console?
[12:02] <Subhuman> troy1of2, push alt+F2 and type that
[12:02] <raj> mkdir temp
[12:02] <lonn> hi, short question, is there any difference between Xdefaults and Xresources? or is it just 2 possible name for the same file ?
[12:02] <sysdoc> _Spire_, thx
[12:03] <troy1of2> No, I was trying to unmount HDA5 in the GUI but it said I needed to be root so what I was wondering is how I unmount it in the console.

[12:04] <A[D] minS> thx cparker
[12:04] <nycc0de> dli: Hmm ok thank seems to work
[12:04] <troy1of2> Okay, then mount?
[12:04] <raj> mount -a
[12:05] <nycc0de> dli: How do I get aterm and use it as my default term.
[12:05] <dli> nycc0de, Menu: System->Preferrences->Preferred Apps
[12:06] <troy1of2> Doesn't seem to have made a difference. I wonder if rebooting might help?
[12:06] <raj> still cant make it?
[12:06] <skavenge> boy gftp kinda sucks
[12:06] <jjohn> hello all
[12:06] <troy1of2> No, it still lets me in but I can't do anything but read.
[12:06] <tuxtux> !opera
[12:06] <ubotu> opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser.  Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" is checked.
[12:06] <Wanderer> blah
[12:06] <dli> skavenge, try lftp
[12:06] <raj> man that is strange
[12:07] <skavenge> dli: thats cli isnt it?
[12:07] <Coffeegrinds> Verbose: looks like i do have vino installed. I just connected to it via tightvnc on my win machine but right now I'm kinda stuck on a loading screen
[12:07] <wheels3572> ardchoille:  are you available?
[12:07] <ardchoille> wheels3572: Yes
[12:07] <troy1of2> Yeah, now I am flipping back and forth between the console and the GUI. In the GUI I'm simply logged in as the user troy. You know that right? Is that okay?
[12:07] <wheels3572> ardchoille: would you mind helping me pick up where we left off this morning?
[12:07] <raj> yes
[12:08] <Coffeegrinds> Verbose: looks like I'm an idiot
[12:08] <Jowi> troy1of2: if you use that directory while mount -a then the remount will fail
[12:08] <Coffeegrinds> hehe all good
[12:08] <Qwell> Is there a sparc specific ubuntu channel?
[12:09] <_Spire_> Qwell: this is the ubuntu channel
[12:09] <wheels3572> ardchoille: if you recall I was making a link to a partition ?
[12:09] <_Spire_> Qwell: oops
[12:09] <Qwell> _Spire_: yeah, I get that. :)
[12:09] <troy1of2> Okay, right now in the GUI logged in as user it's showing me the volume, with 9.8 gig free, showing it as /home/troy/shared/ and it lets me in to read but when I right click to create a folder that option is greyed out.
[12:09] <_Spire_> Qwell: I didn't see the Sparc
[12:09] <SonicvanaJr> Is us.archive.ubuntu.com down for anyone else ?
[12:09] <_Spire_> !sparc
[12:09] <magi> yes
[12:09] <ubotu> Have a look here for Docs http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/install/sparc/ KnownIssues and TODO are on the wiki.
[12:09] <ardchoille> wheels3572: No problem. Wanna pm me?
[12:09] <magi> its down
[12:09] <Qwell> ooo, excellent
[12:09] <c0de> dli: Cant find aterm in ubuntu's db
[12:10] <Jowi> troy1of2: close that window, remount with "sudo mount -a", switch back and try again.
[12:10] <troy1of2>  Now, when I right click it and look at the properties it shows owner as Unknown and permissions set to 444
[12:10] <ardchoille> !info aterm
[12:10] <ubotu> aterm: Afterstep XVT - a VT102 emulator for the X window system. In repository universe, is optional. Version 1.0.0-1 (dapper), package size 77 kB, installed size 224 kB
[12:10] <_Spire_> Qwell: I don't think so
[12:10] <Jowi> troy1of2: ...or reboot, whichever is more simple for you :)
[12:10] <ardchoille> c0de: aterm is in universe, enable universe, do a sudo apt-get update, then try searching
[12:10] <Qwell> _Spire_: yeah, doesn't look like it..  which is why I had hoped there was a sparc ubuntu channel
[12:11] <goatmale> Hello everyone
[12:11] <troy1of2> Jowi, tried that, comes back the same story.
[12:11] <Qwell> I guess I'll just try it, and see if I can not blow it up ;)
[12:11] <dli> c0de, easysource
[12:11] <_Spire_> Qwell: I think there's a ubuntu-sparc forum on ubuntuforums, though
[12:11] <c0de> ardchoille: How do I enable universe ?
[12:11] <c0de> Oh
[12:11] <_Spire_> !universe
[12:11] <Qwell> _Spire_: I'm not too into forums
[12:11] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[12:11] <scott__> is us.archive.ubuntu.org  down for any one else?
[12:11] <_Spire_> Qwell: sorry :(
[12:12] <Qwell> _Spire_: it's all good - thanks
[12:12] <ardchoille> !repos > c0de
[12:12] <cpk2> scott__: yes
[12:12] <magi> us.archive.ubuntu.org seems to be down
[12:12] <scott__> dang.
[12:12] <Jowi> troy1of2: you can try this: umount the mountpoint. *remove* the directory (make sure you have unmounted the directory first or all your files will be deleted), then mount it again.
[12:12] <ardchoille> magi: Yeah
[12:12] <jjohn> I am having probs with my dvd playback any one can help me??
[12:12] <cpk2> scott__: delete the us. from wherever it is listed in your sources.list file
[12:12] <raj> troy1of2,  do this
[12:12] <scott__> heh
[12:12] <Jowi> troy1of2: you might have created the mountpoint as root already, that's why
[12:12] <_Spire_> jjohn: what's your problem?
[12:13] <cpk2> scott__: if you want to still apt-get things
[12:13] <ardchoille> jjohn: IS the video "jumpy"?
[12:13] <raj> anyways i got to go
[12:13] <_Spire_> jjohn: or will it just not play?
[12:13] <c0de> dli: Whats the site you sent me to update my source.list ?
[12:13] <raj> catch u all later
[12:13] <raj> ty gatekeeper ,
[12:13] <troy1of2> Jowi, you know, I think you might be right.
[12:13] <raj> troy1of2,  good luck
[12:14] <jjohn> spire The players are seeing the dvd as txt files and the drive goes into a continuous loop
[12:14] <troy1of2> Raj? What was you going to say do?
[12:14] <scott__> anyone know if whoever-gets-poked-when-us.archive.ubuntu.com has been poked?
[12:14] <_Spire_> c0de: you could try source-o-matic
[12:14] <raj> troy1of2,  also try changing user properties
[12:14] <ardchoille> !easysource c0de
[12:14] <Rossino> i am having problems initializing live cd... PCI: Error while updating region... does anyone know whats wrong please??

[12:14] <wheels3572> ardchoille: This link can't be used, because its target "/media/backup/backup files" doesn't exist.
[12:14] <troy1of2> Okay, but how do I change user properties. Remember, newbie here.
[12:14] <_Spire_> scott__: yup
[12:14] <c0de> Haha thanks
[12:14] <bobovski> hi all
[12:14] <_Spire_> scott__: it seems so, at least
[12:14] <bobovski> is there a way to run scandisk or something like that on a widows partition from inside ubuntu?
[12:15] <gatekeeper> raj: don't know what I did but yw :-)
[12:15] <raj> troy1of2,  see system tab?
[12:15] <troy1of2> Raj, yup.
[12:15] <mcgrof> anyone know the difference between compiz-gnome and compiz-gnome-vanilla ? I figured compiz-gnome has more stuff.
[12:15] <oneeyedelf1> what is a good feedreader, that integrates nicely with firefox for ubuntu?
[12:15] <raj> clik system
[12:15] <ardchoille> wheels3572: You can't *create* the link until the drive is mounted first.
[12:15] <raj> then admin.
[12:15] <gatekeeper> raj: troy1of2 you winning?
[12:15] <raj> then users
[12:15] <Emilia-> What do i need to have in my: /etc/dchroot.conf
[12:15] <raj> raj is going down
[12:15] <raj> heh
[12:15] <mcgrof> 18:07 < raj> then users
[12:15] <Emilia-> What do i need to have in my: /etc/dchroot.conf
[12:16] <c0de> dli: http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components doesn't tell me how to enable it. It only explains what its about..
[12:16] <wheels3572> ardchoille: drive is mounted (automounted)
[12:16] <jjohn> I did all the plugins and added libdvdcss
[12:16] <goatmale> is us.archive.ubuntu.com still down?
[12:16] <raj> anyways god bless all and take care
[12:16] <troy1of2> gatekeeper, so far not so good.
[12:16] <_Spire_> scott__: it's weird. the server for us.archive responds to pings, so it's not totally down
[12:16] <raj> cya guys
[12:16] <wheels3572> !Xfce4 > wheels3572
[12:16] <ubotu> I know nothing about Xfce4  - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:16] <ardchoille> wheels3572: You sure you have the correct path in the ln command? Sounds like it's mounted to one place and you're trying to link from a diff place.
[12:17] <cpk2> yes us.archive is down if you want to apt-get things remove us. from your entries in sources.list
[12:17] <wheels3572> !xfce4 > wheels3572
[12:17] <ubotu> I know nothing about xfce4  - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:17] <scott__> Spire: ach, i gtg
[12:17] <goatmale> Is us.archive.ubuntu.com still down?
[12:17] <scott__> someone else's problem
[12:17] <Emilia-> What do i need to have in my: /etc/dchroot.conf
[12:17] <scott__> yep
[12:17] <ardchoille> !xfce > wheels3572
[12:17] <wheels3572> would a copy of my fstab file help?
[12:17] <ardchoille> wheels3572: Sure, pastebin it and I'll look.
[12:17] <gdb> Someone really should add the notification about us.archive.ubuntu.com to the /topic/
[12:17] <Emilia-> What do i need to have in my: /etc/dchroot.conf
[12:17] <gdb> And perhaps some ETA information.
[12:17] <wheels3572> ardchoille: thanks for the Help on Xubuntu :)
[12:18] <Jerr> er, is there a way to change xubuntu's environment (from XFCE to, say, fluxbox)
[12:18] <goatmale> gdb: do you know or how long it will be down?
[12:18] <Jerr> assuming I already have fluxbox
[12:18] <ardchoille> wheels3572: I don't remember helping you with xubuntu.. but, then again, I'm an old man :)
[12:18] <gdb> goatmale: I have no idea whatsoever.
[12:18] <cpk2> goatmale: you know you can still apt-get things right?
[12:18] <jjohn> spire can you help me?
[12:18] <LjL> Jerr: i think just select Fluxbox from the Session menu of your login screen
[12:18] <goatmale> I can't.
[12:18] <Subhuman> Jerr, yes, just install flyxbox
[12:19] <ardchoille> Emilia-: You don't need to repeat your question every few seconds.
[12:19] <cpk2> goatmale: did you read what i said?
[12:19] <Subhuman> Jerr, its "sudo apt-get install fluxbox"
[12:19] <c0de> ardchoille: How do I enable universe. The site you gave me only told me what its about..
[12:19] <goatmale> I did sudo apt-get insta;; amarok
[12:19] <goatmale> install**
[12:19] <wheels3572> ardchoille: you just did by giving me the correct info from ubotu :) lol
[12:19] <Subhuman> Jerr, youll want to install "fbconf" too.
[12:19] <cpk2> (15:17:03) cpk2: yes us.archive is down if you want to apt-get things remove us. from your entries in sources.list
[12:19] <ardchoille> wheels3572: Ahh, cool :)
[12:20] <wheels3572> ardchoille: that's EXACTLY what I was looking for was how to install xubuntu lol
[12:20] <goatmale> what's the command to do that cpk2?
[12:20] <wheels3572> now brb getting copy of fstab
[12:20] <Rossino> i am having problems while initializing ubuntu live cd... PCI: Error while updating region... does anyone know whats wrong here, please??
[12:20] <Broadcast_> Hey
[12:20] <Broadcast_> What can i do with ubuntu
[12:20] <Broadcast_> something fun
[12:20] <ardchoille> c0de: There is a link on the page I sent you about "Managing repositories in Ubuntu"
[12:21] <cpk2> goatmale: the easiest would probably be to do "sudo kate /ext/apt/sources.list
[12:21] <cpk2> "
[12:21] <gatekeeper> troy1of2: is it mounting ok?
[12:21] <cpk2> i mean etc
[12:21] <troy1of2> Hey Jowi, gatekeeper, please tell raj thanks for helping as well as you guys.
[12:21] <cpk2> not etx
[12:21] <cpk2> its in /etc/apt/
[12:21] <Jowi> troy1of2: you got it sorted?
[12:21] <goatmale> thanks
[12:21] <Subhuman> Broadcast_, probably better asking in #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[12:21] <c0de> ardchoille: You sent me this link: http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[12:21] <gatekeeper> troy1of2: will when I see him
[12:21] <element`ubuntu> What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? -- where would this be?
[12:22] <piwi> I am having a problem with win32codecs....... Image in wmv msk and divx is awful, like if contrast and luminosity have been set to a very low value. How to change that? It is like this isnce I installed the lib..?
[12:22] <troy1of2> Believe it or not, I rebooted and all is well now. I am guessing all those changes we made in fstab did the trick but something else was getting in the way and after I rebooted it started working fine.
[12:22] <ardchoille> c0de: That's source-o-matic.. sorry, I must have spaced it
[12:22] <ardchoille> !universe > c0de
[12:22] <Jowi> troy1of2: very good :)
[12:22] <Bazzi> element`ubuntu: just press enter
[12:22] <troy1of2> Anyway, I gotta run but thanks so much for the help. Take care!
[12:22] <element`ubuntu> Bazzi, it says it doesn't exist...
[12:22] <gatekeeper> troy1of2: Jowi excellent :-)
[12:23] <ardchoille> c0de: I also sent you the !repos link ;)
[12:23] <piwi> !win32
[12:23] <ubotu> I know nothing about win32 - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:23] <bobovski> is there a way to check a windows formatted partition for errors while in ubuntu?
[12:23] <wheels3572> ardchoille: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18656
[12:23] <Bazzi> element`ubuntu: so you didnt install the required packages, which are linux-kernel-headers linux-source build-essential
[12:23] <sharms> !w32codecs
[12:23] <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

[12:24] <Jowi> bobovski: what type of windows partition? fat32 or ntfs?
[12:24] <Broadcast_> Hey
[12:24] <Broadcast_> where can i get
[12:24] <Broadcast_> get XGL/Compiz
[12:24] <Broadcast_> XGL/Compiz
[12:24] <piwi> I am having a problem with win32codecs....... Image in wmv msk and divx is awful, like if contrast and luminosity have been set to a very low value. How to change that? It is like this isnce I installed the lib..?
[12:25] <bobovski> jowi: ntfs
[12:25] <ardchoille> wheels3572: ln -s /media/backup/backups /home/<username>/Desktop/Backups isn't working for you? Is there a "backups" directory in /media/backup?
[12:25] <bobovski> jowi: running xp
[12:25] <jjohn> If I change my repositories to somewhere other than the US are they likely to be less restricted?
[12:25] <Jowi> bobovski: there is a fsck.vfat for fat32. no idea if there is a ntfs one :-/
[12:25] <wheels3572> ardchoille: Yes directory name is actually called Backup Files (with a space and those 2 caps)
[12:26] <bobovski> jowi: I was resizing my ntfs partition and there was an error. now I can't access the partition at all
[12:26] <c0de> ardchoille: Ok thanks I got it :)
[12:26] <ardchoille> wheels3572: ln -s /media/backup/Backup\ Files /home/<username>/Desktop/Backups  See if that works.
[12:26] <ardchoille> c0de: You're welcome :)
[12:26] <Jowi> bobovski: sorry, can't help. never touched an ntfs partition in my life
[12:27] <c0de> Now I'm just gunna read up on fvwm and how to fix it up the way I like
[12:27] <Jowi> !info ntfstools
[12:27] <ubotu> ntfstools: transitional package to install ntfsprogs. In repository universe, is optional. Version 1.12.1-1 (dapper), package size 27 kB, installed size 56 kB
[12:27] <wheels3572> ardchoille: is this from sudo command or do I not need to be?
[12:27] <Jowi> bobovski: might be something in that package
[12:27] <technel> I have a cable connection and for some reason occasionally I have to restart the connection. In Windows, I just go to the connect, right click, and select "Repair" to attempt to re-establish the lost connection and reset the IP. Is there any equiv in ubuntu or do you have to restart?
[12:27] <goatmale> yo cpk2 it was etc/apt
[12:27] <ardchoille> wheels3572: you don't need sudo if you're creating the link in your user dir
[12:28] <wheels3572> ok
[12:28] <bobovski> jowi: let me see if I have a disk utility available to use as an ntfs program
[12:28] <syndicate47> does anyone know how to get kdialog installed?
[12:28] <piwi> technel: you can try to deactivate and reactivate it but there must be a more convenient way
[12:28] <Jowi> technel: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[12:28] <Subhuman> bobovski, if you want to edit ntfs partitons (like size etc) use gparted or ntfsprogs
[12:29] <cpk2> goatmale: /etc/apt/
[12:29] <ardchoille> syndicate47: I thought that came with kde
[12:29] <varsendaggr> how do i play wm9?
[12:29] <piwi> Jowi: init.d contains what can be reinit in the system?
[12:29] <bobovski> subhuman: do either of those have disk error-corretion programs?
[12:29] <varsendaggr> with mplayer
[12:29] <Jowi> varsendaggr: only in windows. wmv 9 not supported
[12:29] <c0de> ardchoille: How do I make sure I'm using aterm ?
[12:29] <cpk2> technel: ifdown and then ifup?
[12:29] <ardchoille> varsendaggr: wm9 is not supported atm
[12:29] <varsendaggr> Jowi, i dont like you
[12:29] <Subhuman> bobovski, im not sure, it's journalled so why would it get errors?
[12:29] <Jowi> varsendaggr: :)
[12:29] <piwi> I am having a problem with win32codecs....... Image in wmv msk and divx is awful, like if contrast and luminosity have been set to a very low value. How to change that? It is like this isnce I installed the lib..?
[12:29] <syndicate47> thanks ardchoille. do i have to install the whole KDE or is there a way to figure out in which package it is?
[12:29] <varsendaggr> ardchoille, you either
[12:30] <c0de> ardchoille: I set aterm as my preferred term. Should I restart X?
[12:30] <wheels3572> ardchoille: ty that worked now next question will that stay there on every reboot AND question 2 do I still need the HD automounted as well?
[12:30] <ardchoille> c0de: When you open aterm, you'll know it.. it's very different from gnome-terminal
[12:30] <Jowi> varsendaggr: it's the microsoft DRM that is sort of in the way
[12:30] <bobovski> subhuman: I'm sorry, I don't understand what journalled means?
[12:30] <technel> Jowi, Thanks
[12:30] <c0de> ardchoille: I set it as my default term, but I dont see aterm as a option from the gnome menu
[12:30] <SanityInAnarchy> Some things not working on my Powerbook:  trackpad, wireless, and any form of suspend/sleep/hibernate
[12:30] <Broadcast_> what is kde
[12:31] <Jowi> !kde
[12:31] <ubotu> KDE (http://kde.org) is the K Desktop Environment. To install from Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, or see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingKDE for other ways to get KDE
[12:31] <analiser> how i unload one module
[12:31] <ardchoille> syndicate47: I don't remember, sorry, maybe the folks in #kde ?
[12:31] <Subhuman> bobovski, basically their is no need to check an ntfs drive for errors, if the partition is corrupted or something you can use "testdisk" (sudo apt-get install testdisk) to recover the data.
[12:31] <gatekeeper> Broadcast_: window manager bit like windows
[12:31] <bobovski> oh, great let me try that
[12:31] <goatmale> cpk2: I deleted the wrong one
[12:31] <piwi> please help if I cant play videos properly in ubuntu I will have to revert to windows xp... And nobody wants that isnt it?
[12:31] <goatmale> which one was bad?
[12:31] <ardchoille> wheels3572: the link will stay, but you need to have the hd mounted in order to use it
[12:31] <Broadcast_> is it large to download
[12:31] <Jowi> Broadcast_: have a loog at http://kde.org
[12:31] <gnomefreak> ardchoille: syndicate47 what package?
[12:31] <Jowi> s/loog/look
[12:31] <goatmale> piwi did you install video codecs?
[12:31] <syndicate47> ardchoille: thanks, i'll try there
[12:32] <ardchoille> c0de: You might have to launch it from a gnome-terminal and you might have to create a menu item for it in alacarte
[12:32] <wheels3572> ardchoille: ok so I do have to still have the drive mounted ok ty :) greatly appreciated and btw it does work :)
[12:32] <SanityInAnarchy> ok, in that order -- anyone want to help me with my touchpad?
[12:32] <bobovski> er, shit. except us.archive.ubuntu.com is down
[12:32] <wheels3572> ardchoille: thanks for all your help this morning and now
[12:32] <ardchoille> gnomefreak: syndicate47 is looking for kdialog
[12:32] <c0de> ardchoille: Scratch that, I figured it out. lol last question - how do I get windows to remember its demensions and position ?
[12:32] <piwi> goatmale: yes I did win32 codecs but when I play divx msk or wmv streaming the picture is like if I changed luminosity and contrast to a very low level although I didnt change anything
[12:32] <bobovski> how do I choose an alternate?
[12:32] <gnomefreak> bobovski: take the us. out of it
[12:32] <ompaul> !language
[12:32] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[12:32] <bobovski> sorry
[12:32] <piwi> goatmale: in the other hand plain mpeg plays properly
[12:32] <SanityInAnarchy> bobovski:  I'm not sure, I've got archive.ubuntu.com working for now
[12:33] <ardchoille> wheels3572: Good job. I love symlinks :)
[12:33] <ardchoille> wheels3572: You're welcome :)
[12:33] <SanityInAnarchy> I can sometimes get it working by using two fingers, but it's fairly random
[12:33] <wheels3572> ardchoille: I am loving it too lol as I hate to click to many times on the mouse when I KNOW it can be done in less time and less clicks lol
[12:33] <piwi> whois piwi
[12:33] <ompaul> bobovski, you can do sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the letters "us." from the list or wait a while for it to come back when you are finished you need to run "sudo apt-get update" then you can continue as normal
[12:33] <Broadcast_> how can i change the visual style of linux
[12:34] <ardchoille> c0de: I believe that is controlled by the window manager. in gnome, the window manager is Metacity. You could try searching in gconf-editor but I don't think there are options for all apps.
[12:34] <varun> how do I upgrade my kenel? I want 2.6.17......what package name would I use?
[12:34] <c0de> ardchoille: Oh ok. Thanks a lot man
[12:34] <goatmale> can some one pastebin me there sources.list? it would really help me out..
[12:34] <Broadcast_> ?
[12:34] <piwi> varun: I dont understand, why using an old kernel while 2.6.26 is out?
[12:35] <gnomefreak> varun: you cant upgrade to that kernel without building it
[12:35] <SanityInAnarchy> piwi:  um, what?  no it isn't
[12:35] <cpk2> bobovski: you can still apt-get with the us.archive down, simply delete us. from all your entries that have it in /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:35] <ompaul> Broadcast_, you can customise the window you have, you can use other window managers
[12:35] <element`ubuntu> Bazzi, I updated my system with those installs, but the /usr/src/linux/include directory still isn't there....
[12:35] <SanityInAnarchy> piwi:  you might be thinking of 2.6.15, ubuntu rev 26
[12:35] <ardchoille> c0de: Open a term and type  gnome-terminal --geometry 115x40  the --gometry option is useful for some apps, but others don't recognise it. You;ll just have to play with it and see.
[12:35] <varun> piwi: lol....I didn't know that........how would I upgrade to that?
[12:35] <piwi> SanityInAnarchy: my mistake its 2.6.15-26 actually
[12:35] <Bazzi> element`ubuntu: should be
[12:35] <KBlair> Hi, is http://us.archive.ubuntu.com down? I can't get any packages from it.
[12:35] <element`ubuntu> Bazzi, should, but it's not....
[12:35] <ompaul> Broadcast_, what are you currently running
[12:35] <piwi> varun: sorry my mistake :D
[12:35] <goatmale> cpk2 how do you revert it once it is back up?
[12:35] <Broadcast_> ubuntu
[12:36] <varun> piwi: no worries :-)
[12:36] <SanityInAnarchy> KBlair:  yes, it is.  Use archive.ubuntu.com till it comes back up.
[12:36] <bobovski> Man, now I'm getting this problem:
[12:36] <bobovski> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[12:36] <bobovski>   testdisk: Depends: libntfs8 (>= 1.12.1) but it is not installable
[12:36] <bobovski> E: Broken packages
[12:36] <element`ubuntu> Bazzi, I installed those 3 things you said, 2 of which I think already had installed...but updated.
[12:36] <KBlair> Ok, thanks.
[12:36] <Bazzi> well you obviously didn't install them all properly then :/
[12:36] <cpk2> goatmale: just put the us. back in or you can use source-o-matic
[12:36] <element`ubuntu> Bazzi, I did apt-get install <those 3 pax>
[12:36] <piwi> goatmale: any ideas?
[12:36] <cpk2> !sourceomatic
[12:36] <ubotu> I know nothing about sourceomatic - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:36] <gnomefreak> bobovski: sudo apt-get -f install    <<type htat alone
[12:36] <varun> gnomefreak: so I need to download the package, untar is and then compile it, right? I just don't know where to download it from? kernel.org?
[12:36] <element`ubuntu> Bazzi, not sure how I can go wrong there....
[12:36] <cpk2> !source-o-matic
[12:36] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[12:36] <gatekeeper> goatmale: gives you some idea of what mine look like: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_add_extra_repositories
[12:36] <Broadcast_> ?
[12:36] <gnomefreak> varun: yes
[12:36] <bobovski> gnomefreak: ok, then what?
[12:36] <gnomefreak> bobovski: did it fix it?
[12:37] <bobovski> let me see
[12:37] <varun> gnomefreak: so there is nothing special about the ubuntu kernel? I thought they might hack it or something
[12:37] <bobovski> gnomefreak: nope
[12:37] <gnomefreak> varun: nothing speical with it
[12:37] <gnomefreak> bobovski: did it say it upgraded or installed or removed packages?
[12:38] <varun> gnomefreak: SanityInAnarchy was talking about an Ubuntu Rev?
[12:38] <Subhuman> bobovski, do you have all repos enavled?
[12:38] <ompaul> cpk2, there is now an alias for sourceomatic which points to the same place
[12:38] <gnomefreak> varun: what about it?
[12:38] <bobovski> gnomefreak: it said none removed, installd and 1 not upgraded
[12:38] <varun> gnomefreak: how is that different from the kernel.org version?
[12:38] <goatmale> awesome everything works now, thanks.
[12:39] <bobovski> gnomefreak: so, I guess I already have testdisk
[12:39] <gnomefreak> varun: how is 2.6.17 differnet from 2.6.17?
[12:39] <bobovski> now, I just have to figure out where it is
[12:39] <gnomefreak> bobovski: apt-cache policy testdisk
[12:39] <cpk2> bobovski: locate testdisk?
[12:39] <Jowi> 'night all
[12:39] <gnomefreak> bobovski: does it say its installed?
[12:39] <varun> gnomefreak: how is 2.6.17 different from 2.6.17 Ubuntu Rev 26
[12:39] <bobovski> nope, no testdisk here
[12:39] <Broadcast_> does anyone know a free toll number for linux help
[12:39] <gnomefreak> varun: you have to build it
[12:40] <crimsun> varun: there is no '2.6.17 Ubuntu Rev 26'
[12:40] <gnomefreak> varun: there is no 2.6.17 for dapper unless you build it
[12:40] <siennalizard> Broadcast_: you're dreaming ain't ya?
[12:40] <ompaul> Broadcast_, heh, pay me and I will run one ;-)
[12:40] <Broadcast_> lol
[12:40] <Broadcast_> :D
[12:40] <varsendaggr> you know what would  be cool:   to beable to easily change a folder to be the desktop
[12:40] <varun> gnomefreak: ahhhh ok.....I follow......sorry
[12:40] <varsendaggr> is there a way to do that
[12:40] <bobovski> ok, so I can't install testdisk...is there a comparable app?
[12:41] <siennalizard> !mv > varsendaggr
[12:41] <ubotu> I know nothing about mv  - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:41] <cpk2> bobovski: why not?
[12:41] <siennalizard> !mv > siennalizard
[12:41] <ubotu> I know nothing about mv  - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:41] <ardchoille> How do I disable the MENU key (the key next to the right Ctrl key)?
[12:41] <Steph14> How do I know which to install?  Ubuntu, kubuntu, edubuntu or xubuntu ?
[12:41] <gnomefreak> bobovski: apt-cache policy testdisk? did it show what repo its in?
[12:41] <ubuntu__> hello, what is make error 1? what does it mean?
[12:41] <bobovski> cpk2: well, I'm getting it from packages.debian now...maybe that will work
[12:41] <gatekeeper> Broadcast_: I thought this was the free toll number for ubuntu lol
[12:41] <ardchoille> Steph14: Depends on which desktop environment you want to use.
[12:42] <bobovski> apt-cache policy testdisk
[12:42] <bobovski> testdisk:
[12:42] <bobovski>   Installed: (none)
[12:42] <bobovski>   Candidate: 6.1-1
[12:42] <bobovski>   Version table:
[12:42] <bobovski>      6.1-1 0
[12:42] <bobovski>         500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper/universe Packages
[12:42] <Steph14> I'd like to be able to switch between Gnome and KDE
[12:42] <gnomefreak> bobovski: enable universe repo and dont paste in here
[12:42] <ubuntu__> !make
[12:42] <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!)
[12:42] <ardchoille> Steph14: You can install using the Alternate CD, then install kubuntu-desktop. That will give you both the gnoem and kde desktops.
[12:43] <Broadcast_> lol
[12:44] <bobovski> gnomefreak: sorry for the paste...didn't know it was disallowed.
[12:44] <gatekeeper> Steph14: Install Ubuntu then install the kde desktop
[12:44] <ompaul> bobovski, do not page in this channel, please use paste.ubuntu-nl.org thank you
[12:44] <goatmale> what sites do I remove from sorces.list to get aptget to work correctly
[12:44] <ompaul> night gatekeeper
[12:44] <chx> whee! i compiled a Breezy driver on my Dapper desktop -- and much to my amazement it even works.
[12:44] <spartas> goatmale, just remove the us. before the address
[12:45] <goatmale> I did
[12:45] <chx> works on my Breezy laptop, that is
[12:45] <gatekeeper> night ompaul :-)
[12:45] <spartas> goatmale, apt-get update before doing anything else
[12:45] <Broadcast_> damn, linux is so boring man
[12:45] <Steph14> Is there a particual desktop thats standard now, or is it all a matter of choice?
[12:45] <Broadcast_> whats there to do on it
[12:45] <ompaul> I have a little daemonised service I want to run, that is not the issue but I need it to start on boot and I need other services to be sure to start before it any ideas
[12:45] <enyc> Steph14: well 'gnome' is the default so-to-speak
[12:46] <enyc> Steph14: kde / xfce are alternative base-install desktop-choices
[12:46] <goatmale> 99% [Connecting to us.archive.ubuntu.com (146.137.96.15)] 
[12:46] <Mattchewie> I seem to be having issue connecting to us.archive
[12:46] <goatmale> it's down. but I took it off the sources.list
[12:46] <bobovski> thanks for the help all
[12:46] <goatmale> but it is still notworking
[12:46] <enyc> Mattchewie: yes there is a problem with the Argonne National Laboratory (us) mirror
[12:47] <enyc> Mattchewie: use arnother mirror ;-)
[12:47] <rubem> hi there
[12:47] <spartas> goatmale, it shouldn't be trying to connect to us.archive anymore (make sure you removed us. from everything)
[12:47] <goatmale> yes I did.
[12:47] <spartas> k
[12:47] <rubem> where can i set my envoirnement variables?
[12:47] <Mattchewie> enyc: thanks for the info!
[12:47] <enyc> goatmale: did you 'sudo apt-get update' too
[12:47] <enyc> goatmale: ?
[12:47] <goatmale> yup
[12:48] <Steph14> So if I use the Alternate CD install, I can install Gnome as default and add KDE later?
[12:48] <goatmale> I will postbin it
[12:48] <enyc> goatmale: did that cgive errors when apt-get update'ing ?
[12:48] <ardchoille> Steph14: yes
[12:48] <enyc> goatmale: excellent
[12:48] <enyc> goatmale: put sources.list on there too ;-)
[12:48] <goatmale> never mind
[12:48] <rubem> where can i set the CLASSPATH envoirnment variable?
[12:48] <cpk2> goatmale: your sources.list should look something like this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18657
[12:48] <Steph14> Is the install non-distructive?
[12:49] <gnomefreak> ebmaybe because you are using us.archive.com?
[12:49] <ardchoille> Steph14: I have one box which has Ubuntu, KUbuntu and XUbuntu
[12:49] <goatmale> It didn't work when i updated, but it worked when I did sudo apt-get install program
[12:49] <spartas> i think goatmale forgot to remove (at least one) us.archive
[12:49] <enyc> Steph14: erm iirc you acn install 'kubuntu-desktop' packago no trouble
[12:49] <ardchoille> Steph14: It can be, you have to make those decisions uring the install
[12:49] <enyc> Steph14: you can always 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' again but I dont think you will remove that at all
[12:49] <cpk2> goatmale: you always need to sudo when you use apt-get...
[12:50] <goatmale> I ctrl Fed it and it didn't find any US
[12:50] <GreySim> If I'm filing a bug about the floppy formatting dialog, would that be Nautilus, or a separate program? I haven't used floppies in 3+ years before today, and I remember it used to be a separate program, and it looks like it could be still, so I'm just double checking. :)
[12:50] <spartas> apt-get really should be aliased to sudo apt-get
[12:50] <goatmale> I know I always do sudo.
[12:50] <enyc> GreySim: im not sure... i just use the fdformat command ;-)
[12:50] <Steph14> Right now I'm dual booting win xp and Suse 10.1, but I need a basic linux I can use on computer I am going to be donating
[12:50] <gnomefreak> spartas: than make it an alias
[12:51] <enyc> Steph14: Ubuntu sounds good
[12:51] <spartas> gnomefreak, been aliased for a while (i meant on new installs off the cd)
[12:51] <ardchoille> spartas: You can alias that in your ~/.bashrc
[12:51] <gnomefreak> spartas: why when you can open synaoptic and it runs it for you
[12:51] <billfur> is there a way to make gnome not take huge gobs of memory?
[12:51] <GreySim> Oh, bug already filed anyway. Nevermind.
[12:52] <gnomefreak> same with cron and update-manager
[12:52] <Qwell> billfur: Don't run it :)
[12:52] <Steph14> Does it have NTFS read ability?
[12:52] <gnomefreak> Steph14: yes
[12:52] <GreySim> Apparently it is a separate program though, gfloppy.
[12:52] <gnomefreak> Steph14: read only
[12:52] <Qwell> billfur: or, alternatively, use a WM besides metacity
[12:52] <rubem> anyone know where can i set my envoirnement variables?
[12:52] <phaedrus44> billfur:  yeah use fluxbox
[12:52] <Qwell> and if you want to reduce RAM usage while using gnome...don't run KDE apps
[12:52] <spartas> gnomefreak, true, at least when you have a graphics system available, but in that scenario you have update-manager to alert you automatically
[12:52] <Steph14> Does it come with an MP3 decoder built in (I can't get Suse to play Mp3's)
[12:53] <Qwell> if you run a KDE app in Gnome, it has to have the Gnome libs AND KDE libs loaded
[12:53] <SanityInAnarchy> still no one to help me with my Powerbook?  I guess I'll try Gentoo next, someone has to have this right...
[12:53] <JDStone> how do I confirm if Samba has LDAPsam support?
[12:53] <Qwell> SanityInAnarchy: I bet mac osx would run well on it
[12:53] <ardchoille> billfur: You can run a window manager other than Metacity in gnome. I dislike Metacity and wrote a tutorial about how to switch WM's in gnome
[12:53] <JDStone> MAC OS X blows
[12:53] <billfur> Qwell, sure, but right now between gnome and kde libs/gui its reporting over 300 meg.
[12:53] <JDStone> SanityInAnarchy, what do you need?
[12:53] <Qwell> billfur: yes.  only run one
[12:53] <billfur> That seems excessive, even for all that stuff
[12:53] <SanityInAnarchy> OS X runs beautifully, but the lack of a package manager is starting to make me feel...  well, this is a family friendly channel
[12:53] <JDStone> I've gotten Ubuntu to run on my mac
[12:53] <ardchoille> billfur: If you're interested in switching Metacity to another WM: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Replace_Metacity_with_Openbox_in_gnome
[12:54] <pepsi> Steph14, you just need to install gstreamer-mad or whatever it is exactly
[12:54] <darknessofevil> btw has anyone here had good success with the ntfs-3g driver?
[12:54] <SanityInAnarchy> JDStone:  following things don't work:  touchpad, wireless, suspend/sleep/hibernate
[12:54] <J-_> what filesystem can be used for both Linux and Windows with large capacity reading.. I have a 300gb hdd.
[12:54] <JDStone> really?
[12:54] <ardchoille> I am using the openbox window manager in gnome now:  http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/359/mygnomecp1.png
[12:54] <JDStone> SanityInAnarchy, it all worked for me out of the box
[12:54] <ubuntu__> http://pastebin.ca/96509
[12:54] <ubuntu__> anyone able to help ?
[12:54] <Steph14> I'm downlading the Alternate CD iso at the moment
[12:54] <transgress> okay i have a usb headset, and everytime i boot up with it plugged in it becomes the default sound card... can i switch which card is default w/o rebooting?
[12:54] <JDStone> How do I confirm if Samba is compiled wtih ldapsam support?
[12:54] <asparagui> i'm trying to resize a disk to install ubuntu,  but i'm getting all sorts of errors with the ntfs parition...anybody know of way to fix the drive shy of reinstalling everything?
[12:54] <SanityInAnarchy> JDStone:  Powerbook G4, 17", bought it last year...
[12:54] <JDStone> same here, but I havea  15"
[12:54] <crimsun> transgress: System> Preferences> Sound> Set default sound card
[12:55] <JDStone> well, I bought mine about 2 years ago
[12:55] <Mattchewie> Steph14: on the ubuntu wiki they give the process for installing the appropriate packages to get dvd playback and mp3 support
[12:55] <tuxtux> good night
[12:55] <Steph14> I take it wine runs fine as well
[12:55] <pepsi> Steph14, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[12:55] <SanityInAnarchy> JDStone:  that might make a difference.  I know it detects the touchpad as 17" specifically, and I know it's an "Airport Extreme" (bcm4306, fsck-ing Broadcom)
[12:55] <square1> hi everyone
[12:55] <spartas> J, you could use (read and write) to FAT32 on both OSs, but you'll need separate partitions for running linux on the machine
[12:56] <asparagui> doesn't 2.16.17 support the broadcom?
[12:56] <patrick_king> i have downloaded ubuntu dapper right burnd too disc, once the boot bit loads i select live and install. the problem it does install
[12:56] <unstablesob> !wpa
[12:56] <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
[12:56] <J-_> spartas: it'll only give me 32gb per partition? i have an external hdd i need to format
[12:57] <square1> can anyone explain what are the differences between Power Manager and Battery Charge Monitor? And what is better for a laptop use?
[12:57] <unstablesob> i've managed to get my Airport Extreme working with WEP, now just need to get WPA working
[12:57] <square1> unstablesob: install network manager
[12:57] <asparagui> J-_:  that's just the windows paritioner, use the linux one and it will let you see the whole drive.
[12:57] <unstablesob> I'm using knetworkmanager atm, just doesn't seem to want to connect with WPA
[12:57] <pepsi> spartas, find something to use ext3 in windows
[12:57] <square1> it works fine ere
[12:57] <square1> * here
[12:58] <piwi> goatmale: yes I did win32 codecs but when I play divx msk or wmv streaming the picture is like if I changed luminosity and contrast to a very low level although I didnt change anything
[12:58] <piwi> goatmale: yes I did win32 codecs but when I play divx msk or wmv streaming the picture is like if I changed luminosity and contrast to a very low level although I didnt change anything
[12:58] <J-_> asparagui: okay, cool. thanks.
[12:58] <patrick_king> i dont know what to do
[12:58] <raskolnikov> how do you move a file to another computer from the command line when you're ssh'd into it?
[12:58] <skavenge> piwi: using the totem plugin?
[12:58] <Qwell> raskolnikov: You can use scp
[12:58] <asparagui> J-_: np. ;-)
[12:59] <piwi> skavenge: using w32codecs and any player
[12:59] <raskolnikov> well i mean how do i get back to browsing the computer i'm on files
[12:59] <raskolnikov> my command line says @blackbox which is the computer i want to send the file to
[12:59] <billfur> also, does the installer right now support (well) ntfs resizing?
[12:59] <spartas> raskolnikov, you can either 'exit' or you can ssh over ssh back to the original machine
[12:59] <skavenge> piwi: have you tried turning down the brightness in totem? i find i have to do that on a fresh install as everything looks 'washed out'
[12:59] <darknessofevil> yea im mainly interested in the ntfs-3g driver doing deletes/creating files, etc
[01:00] <darknessofevil> not just reading it like i currently have
[01:00] <raskolnikov> but what does the command look like to copy the file to the other computer?
[01:00] <CookieMonstah> HEY why wont scrot take image from my mplayer?
[01:00] <skavenge> piwi: this makes a difference in streams as well since totem is used within the browser to play the movie
[01:00] <profoX`> CookieMonstah: blue image?

[01:19] <wheels3572> was wondering if it was renamed or something
[01:19] <ardchoille> is it safe to "sed -i s/us.archive.ubuntu.com/archive.ubuntu.com/g /etc/apt/sources.list?

[01:21] <vdepizzol> How I install this capture card? Philips Semiconductors SAA7133 Video Broadcast Decoder
[01:21] <ubuntu_> hola
[01:21] <forevertheuni> hi..why doesn't my cvs package doesn't support pserver method in cvs? I'm trying to run a cvs command but....I have an error saying password is only accepted in pserver method :/
[01:22] <goatmale> how can I find out my sound card information?
[01:22] <goatmale> lspci?
[01:22] <transgress> damn that was mean
[01:22] <transgress> oops wrong channel
[01:23] <NerfYoda> hey guys. i just installed xubuntu 6.06 and my sound is coming out in mono. whats the best way to troubleshoot this? google hasn't been much help
[01:23] <forevertheuni> :D I have no sound at all :D
[01:24] <goatmale> I barely have any sound.
[01:24] <spartas> ardchoille, that will work fine (i just tried it, however i usually use sed -e and echo it back to the file)
[01:24] <cparker> somebody call me?
[01:24] <cello_rasp> does anyone know how to PURGE a LAMP install? I have messed up mysql and no matter what i do the problem persists
[01:25] <Mattchewie> goatmale: lspci is always a great place to start :D
[01:25] <NerfYoda> cello_rasp, it depends on how you installed it
[01:25] <cello_rasp> NerfYoda: apt-get
[01:25] <ardchoille> spartas: Thanks
[01:25] <wheels3572> Can anyone tell me if the xubuntu-desktop has been renamed or put under another name?
[01:25] <NerfYoda> apt-get remove then?
[01:26] <Mattchewie> NerfYoda: what kind of sound card are you using?
[01:26] <ardchoille> wheels3572: I installed xubuntu-desktop recently and it should be there
[01:26] <ardchoille> !info xubuntu-desktop
[01:26] <ubotu> xubuntu-desktop: Xubuntu desktop system. In repository main, is optional. Version 1.32 (dapper), package size 8 kB, installed size 36 kB
[01:26] <cello_rasp> NerfYoda don't think I havent tried it. No, for some reason mysql persists no matter what
[01:26] <gireeshm> how can I install Dapper using existing swap and home partitions?
[01:27] <gireeshm> I only want to format the / partition
[01:27] <NerfYoda> Mattchewie: its onboard sound on a shuttle sn25p. its an Envy24PT/HT chipset. it worked fine back when i tried FC4
[01:27] <Reimu> gireeshm: select the manually edit partition table thing in the installed
[01:27] <Mattchewie> hrm, I would make sure the correct module is loaded and then check your alsa settings
[01:27] <Reimu> and then do not check the reformat box for the home partition mounts
[01:27] <NerfYoda> cello_rasp, define "persists" :)
[01:27] <gireeshm> Reimu, did that. Nowhere does it let me select what to set a given partition to
[01:28] <NerfYoda> Mattchewie, how would I go about doing either of those? :)
[01:28] <cello_rasp> NerfYoda: mysql database remains on ubuntu
[01:29] <cello_rasp> despite purge.
[01:29] <Broadcast_> hey
[01:29] <Mattchewie> NerfYoda: I would say search google for the what the module is called for that card, then do a lsmod and see if its there.
[01:29] <Broadcast_> i dont know how to install a theme
[01:29] <Mattchewie> but first, I would run "alsamixer" and make sure there isn't anything weird in that..its a ncurse base mixer so its pretty straight forward
[01:29] <bettsp> How do I set the proxy for the entire system?
[01:29] <WebMaven> Is something wrong with us.archive.ubuntu.com?
[01:29] <Reimu> gireeshm: that is odd, because I installed xubuntu with an existing home partition :/, umm if you manually edit the partition table after the partitioner you can set mount points,
[01:30] <spartas> WebMaven, yes the us mirror is down
[01:30] <Reimu> anyways, I got to eat now, sorry
[01:30] <Broadcast_> ??
[01:30] <WebMaven> For the record, neither synaptic nor gDebi deal very well with this. gDebi is worse.
[01:31] <livingdaylight> downloaded elephant dreams http://orange.blender.org/download but can't open the avi file
[01:31] <NerfYoda> Mattchewie, you can have my manbabies.
[01:31] <goatmale> when I say lspci what is the combination of letters and numbers mean?
[01:32] <NerfYoda> You're the best!
[01:32] <goatmale> meaning this stuff EMU10k1
[01:32] <WebMaven> is there an ETA for us.archive.ubuntu.com being back up?
[01:32] <NerfYoda> found that a hw switch was turned off in alsamixer
[01:33] <livingdaylight> fsking great
[01:33] <WebMaven> spartas:  is there an ETA for us.archive.ubuntu.com being back up?
[01:33] <SeanTater> WebMaven: why not just change to archive.ubuntu.com (no us.)
[01:33] <spartas> WebMaven, not that i know of, but you can switch the repos using 'sudo sed -i s/us.archive.ubuntu.com/archive.ubuntu.com/g etc/apt/sources.list'
[01:33] <SeanTater> WebMaven: It will redirect you to the mirrors that work
[01:34] <bettsp> Sorry, I got booted. Did anyone know how to set the proxy?
[01:34] <spartas> oops, should be /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:35] <WebMaven> SeanTater, spartas: thanks.
[01:35] <yannis> hello
[01:35] <spartas> np
[01:35] <vdepizzol> How I put my capture card to work? Someone can help me?
[01:35] <SeerNo> is us.archive.ubuntu.com down???
[01:36] <SeerNo> i can't apt-get anything
[01:36] <Mattchewie> SeerNo, yes
[01:36] <Mattchewie> SeerNo, you will have to use a different mirror or wait it out :D
[01:36] <lens> hey, I am working with wine and I use the command winecfg and I want to change it to windows NT 4.0... the only problem is I can't figure out how to save my settings, the window looks too small.
[01:36] <SeerNo> thanks
[01:37] <HermanDE> Morning all...
[01:37] <SeerNo> any pointer to list of mirrors?
[01:38] <goatmale> yeah hold on seer
[01:38] <shea> SeerNo, just omit the 'us.'
[01:38] <shea> heh
[01:38] <SeerNo> ok cool thanks!
[01:38] <Broadcast_> how can i aply a theme
[01:38] <Broadcast_> please
[01:38] <lens> winecfg
[01:38] <coachJ> are the US repos still down?
[01:38] <shea> apparently
[01:38] <Broadcast_> ?
[01:38] <lens> anyone have problems with the winecfg window being too small?
[01:38] <bettsp> lens: Try making the window bigger (Alt-Space, Size)
[01:38] <Reimu> In gnome can you have two different wallpapers? Like KDE where you can have one wallpaper in one workstation and another in another one. I don't see an option in the system menu
[01:39] <bettsp> lens: Or hold Alt and drag the window
[01:39] <lens> bettsp ... ok thanks.
[01:39] <bettsp> lens: If that doesn't work, you can manually set parameters using command-line switches in wine
[01:39] <goatmale> seerno you can also use this http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_add_extra_repositories
[01:39] <yelek> I have a question if anyone could help...
[01:39] <varsendaggr> ak jahshaka is not finding qmake
[01:39] <shea> Reimu, i guess you could always just use xsetroot :] 
[01:39] <goatmale> it worked for me..
[01:39] <varsendaggr> i just installed it
[01:39] <shea> (i dont know)
[01:39] <Reimu> shea: What is that?
[01:40] <bettsp> Reimu: You can't do that, people keep asking for it in GNOME but the devs are reticent
[01:40] <yelek> I installed wine, and I am trying to put a link in the menu of KDE, anyone know ho to do this
[01:40] <shea> sets the root window params
[01:40] <gireeshm> hmmm
[01:40] <Ballsy> Anyone know how to convince the Dapper LiveCD to boot to run-level 3 right off the bat?
[01:40] <lens> bettsp: I heard dapper drake ignores the config file so you have to do it through the window... and also I tried alt and alt-space and resize is greyed out.
[01:40] <Reimu> bettsp: What would happen if I install KDE and use kcontrol to control the desktop but still be in the grnome desktop?
[01:40] <bettsp> Reimu: Just take two wallpapers and edit them together into one file that's the size of your combined screen
[01:40] <bettsp> Reimu: Nothing, it won't work
[01:41] <Reimu> wait... are you saying that if you put a really big wallpaper
[01:41] <cpk2> Ballsy: when it starts just do sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop?
[01:41] <square1> yelek: if its like gnome, check this: http://maia.deec.uc.pt/mwiki/Linux/Gnome/AddingNewMenuItems
[01:41] <Reimu> it will go from desktop 1 - 2?
[01:41] <yelek> I think it's differen actually...
[01:41] <Reimu> Or is there a way to attach desktops like xfce?
[01:42] <bettsp> Reimu: I think so, depending on how you set the sizing
[01:42] <varsendaggr> ./configure: line 50: qmake: command not found
[01:42] <Reimu> oh, that is great, but how do you attach desktops, I don't think it could work right now, but if I attach them (so that when I drag a window down it goes into the next desktop) it might work
[01:43] <Ballsy> cpk2, keeping in mind my base OS is WinXP, and I'm only trying to 'demo' Ubunto via the Live CD.  Not sure I can get to the point where I can issue the sudo command.
[01:43] <danpalka> help!
[01:43] <square1> Ballsy: you can issue the sudo command on the live cd
[01:44] <Ballsy> cpk2, in Suse 10.1, for example, you can specify '3' as a boot option, and it'll take you to run-level 3.  I have yet to find an analogous boot option for ubuntu
[01:44] <varsendaggr> Ballsy, yeah
[01:44] <danpalka> im a mac OS X user, and my friend wants me to "fix" his PC and we decided to try ubuntu because of some other peoples recommendations
[01:44] <square1> the default runlevel in ubuntu is 2
[01:44] <cpk2> Ballsy: ubuntu does do run level like that, run level 2-5 or whatever is the same
[01:44] <danpalka> so i downloaded the CD and booted from it but everything is soo slow
[01:44] <danpalka> and im not sure exactly what steps i should take to install it onto his pc
[01:44] <cpk2> Ballsy: if you want to shutdown the xserver just do sudo invoker-rc.d gdm stop
[01:45] <square1> danpalka: its running and decompressing stuff from the cd all the time, its normal the slowliness
[01:45] <spartas> Ballsy, grub isn't run on the livecd, but if you install ubuntu you should be able to specify a runlevel at the grub shell
[01:45] <bettsp> danpalka: Just click on the Install link on the desktop
[01:45] <Ballsy> cpk2, square1, varsendaggr, I believe I neglected to mention that the reason I need to do this is because the LiveCD stops at 'configuring some drivers.....ok' and dumps me to a blank screen with blinking cursor.  And I can't get to any of the term windows via ctrl-alt-f*
[01:45] <danpalka> well i went to Disk Manager to format his disk first
[01:45] <danpalka> and then i open that install app but it takes like 20 minutes just to launch
[01:45] <danpalka> is that abnormal?
[01:46] <bettsp> danpalka: You might have a bad CD
[01:46] <danpalka> Mac OS X install CDs also boot into the full GUI for installing, but its never this slow
[01:46] <cpk2> Ballsy: you check to make sure the cd is?
[01:46] <Reimu> *googles xsetroot* this looks like it might work, how does it work? is there a package for it?
[01:46] <square1> Ballsy: thats  bad
[01:46] <danpalka> hmm
[01:47] <danpalka> is there a command line way to install from the Desktop CD
[01:47] <square1> Ballsy: don't you have a usb stick connected while booting?
[01:47] <Ballsy> cpk2, the .iso I downloaded passed the checksum test.  HOWEVER, when running the 'test CD medium' thing from the Ubuntu menu, it found 4-5 mismatch/failures....however, I ran that same medium on my laptop with no problems.
[01:47] <square1> Ballsy: i once had a problem with that on suse....
[01:47] <danpalka> also as a side note: in the Disk Manager when i'm choosing a file format and the choices are like Extended 2, Extended 3, etc...
[01:47] <danpalka> which would be best to choose
[01:47] <varsendaggr> anyone else haivng an issue with us.archive.ubuntu.com ?
[01:48] <Bison> Has anyone had a problem with isos for 6.06?
[01:48] <square1> varsendaggr: everyone... down, try another one
[01:48] <Ballsy> square, no USB stick, no.  I (kinda) figured out how to get around the problem in Suse though.
[01:48] <cpk2> varsendaggr: its down, use a mirror
[01:48] <dmsantam> varsendaggr, yes
[01:48] <bettsp> danpalka: Do you care about what's on the disk? You can clear it by running "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda count=64"
[01:48] <cpk2> Ballsy: so it sounds like either something is wrong with the cd or your hardware?
[01:48] <varsendaggr> how do i do that with apt?
[01:48] <Ballsy> Bison, what kind of 'problem' are you referring to ?  Did they pass the checksum test ?
[01:48] <danpalka> nothing on the hard drive matters
[01:49] <Howitzer> Where do i modify the focus settings?
[01:49] <bettsp> That command will completely clear the drive contents
[01:49] <danpalka> his Windows XP install became so slow from viruses or spyware or whatever it is hes downloading
[01:49] <Reimu> wait... xsetroot is for xfree86 T_T
[01:49] <Ballsy> cpk2, I'm pretty sure it's my SiS 760 onboard vid that's causing it, and there's APPARENTLY a fix, but you have to do a full Ubuntu install first, and I'm not quite ready to commit to that yet.  ;)
[01:49] <bettsp> (Well, in the sense of the partition structure)
[01:49] <Bison> Ballsy: well originally i thought it might be a hardware problem...
[01:50] <chris08> hi, does anyone have a ati 7500 running with dapper and 3d enabled?
[01:50] <Bison> Once I burn them, they either won't boot up correctly, or they don't install/pass the cd check
[01:50] <Ballsy> cpk2, which is why I'm trying to figure out how to NOT start X during the LiveCD thang.
[01:50] <Bison> and by correctly, i mean at all
[01:50] <Bison> it just hangs on 'Booting from CD' or whatever
[01:50] <yelek> anyone know how to put an installed program into the KDE menu?
[01:50] <element`ubuntu> I installed linux-sources and all that kernel stuff...but it's not compiling and giving me a /usr/src/linux/include files/folder...any idea how to get that working?
[01:50] <Broadcast_> where do i find the recycle bin
[01:50] <Bison> yelek: did you log in and then out?
[01:50] <Bison> er, the other way
[01:51] <billfur> is eclipse with C broken on dapper?
[01:51] <Howitzer> Where do i modify the focus settings?
[01:51] <chris08> broadcast: bottom left corner
[01:51] <Ballsy> Bison, I'm having a virtually identical issue.  Checksums were fine on the ISOs, burned them 3 diff times using DVD Decryptor and Nero 6, and I still get a few failures during the disk check.  But, that doesn't stop the LiveCD from working on my laptop and a machine at work.  Just fails on my home desktop hardware.
[01:51] <billfur> for automakefiles.
[01:51] <Tommy2k4> kubuntu crashed again :(
[01:51] <chris08> broadcast: ehh bottom right corner
[01:51] <Broadcast_> i removed it
[01:51] <ringard> can anyone access us.archive.ubuntu.com?
[01:51] <Broadcast_> :(
[01:51] <Broadcast_> :$
[01:51] <crimsun> ringard: topic.
[01:51] <Ballsy> Bison, out of curiosity, what kind of vid card are you using ?
[01:51] <yelek> Bison: no I dodnt know I was supposed to, heh
[01:51] <ringard> :)
[01:52] <Bison> yelek: try that, it should work
[01:52] <yelek> k I'll be back then....thx
[01:52] <darth_gimp> Where do I find what I need to write and compile C++ based programs?
[01:52] <Broadcast_> ?
[01:52] <Bison> Ballsy: live cd no worky either
[01:52] <Broadcast_> bin?
[01:52] <Bison> Ballsy: Nvidia
[01:52] <Bison> Ballsy: what MB are you using?
[01:52] <bettsp> darth_gimp: apt-get build-essential
[01:52] <Blissex> darth_gimp: do a web search for 'build-essential'
[01:52] <Bison> its not trying to like boot up a 2.4 kernel or anything is it?
[01:52] <Bison> I had no issues with Hoary
[01:52] <Broadcast_> ???
[01:52] <Bison> btw
[01:53] <Broadcast_> where is the RECYCLE BIN
[01:53] <danpalka> i dont get why this installer is taking so long to launch
[01:53] <danpalka> even from the cd
[01:53] <danpalka> its reading the CD like crazy
[01:53] <Bison> Oh, and the liveCD...it runs realllllly slowly, eventually hanging
[01:53] <darth_gimp> bettsp, does that allow me to write my own C++ Code?
[01:53] <danpalka> yeah my LiveCD thing is hanging as well
[01:53] <bettsp> darth_gimp: It gives you a compiler
[01:53] <Ballsy> Bison, ASUS K8S-LA mobo....
[01:54] <darth_gimp> I want to do C++ programming.
[01:54] <Broadcast_> please
[01:54] <Broadcast_> where can i find the recycle bin
[01:54] <Broadcast_> ?
[01:54] <Bison> I couldn't even get the 'server install' CD to boot at all
[01:54] <bettsp> darth_gimp: apt-get install kdevelop would be good as well
[01:54] <Bison> darth_gimp: then get g++
[01:54] <Ballsy> Bison, I tried the Suse 10.1 live CD though, and eventually got that to work, once I changed some parms in xorg.conf pertaining to my vid card.  Which is why I think it's the culprit with the Ubuntu LiveCD
[01:54] <cpk2> Ballsy: you could just get the alternate cd
[01:54] <cpk2> that is all command line
[01:54] <Bison> Ballsy: I have had problems with various live CD's.  Mostly because they were running a 2.4 kernel
[01:55] <Ballsy> cpk2, what will the alternate CD give me ?
[01:55] <Bison> I want the old installer...the ncurses one...which cd is that
[01:55] <Broadcast_> coommon
[01:55] <Reimu> Does anyone know how to use xsetroot
[01:55] <Broadcast_> where is the recycle bin
[01:55] <Heretician> QUESTION: I am looking at the screen where I prepare my partitions (manually) although it isn't working out really well for me, I am wanting 1gb for the Media space and the rest (29.56) for /(root) -- It all seems to go well except during the installation it gets to about 2% and tells me that I need a media partition, although I have already added one.. It was at /media/sda3 im pretty sure
[01:55] <Broadcast_> ubotu, ?
[01:55] <Bison> Reimu: man xsetroot
[01:55] <Heretician> Is this correct
[01:55] <ubotu> I know nothing about ? - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:55] <bettsp> darth_gimp: "g++ -o somefile -Wall somefile.cpp" will compile an executable
[01:55] <Broadcast_> ubotu, recycle bin
[01:55] <ubotu> I know nothing about recycle bin - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:55] <Heretician> Broadcast_, bottom right
[01:55] <Howitzer> Where do i modify the focus settings?
[01:55] <Broadcast_> it's nothere
[01:56] <Broadcast_> i removed it by accident
[01:56] <Bison> So anyone know that one?
[01:56] <darth_gimp> So I need g++ to do c++ programming.
[01:56] <Bison> darth_gimp: yes, get it
[01:56] <Howitzer> yep
[01:56] <Heretician> Broadcast_: right click -> add to panel
[01:56] <Bison> darth_gimp: just like gcc
[01:56] <Howitzer> and a text editor
[01:56] <darth_gimp> excellent.. thanks!
[01:56] <bettsp> darth_gimp: Yes, apt-get build-essential will install it for you
[01:56] <Broadcast_> THANKS
[01:56] <cpk2> Ballsy: i dont know if the alternate cd has any live functionality but i do know it would load to a gui
[01:56] <Heretician> np
[01:56] <Howitzer> cpk2, no
[01:57] <Bison> cpk2: so i can't get the old ncurses installer?
[01:57] <Howitzer> it's textbased like the old editions
[01:57] <Howitzer> Bison, you can, the old ncurses installer is in the alternate
[01:57] <Bison> alright sweet!
[01:57] <Heretician> QUESTION: I am looking at the screen where I prepare my partitions (manually) although it isn't working out really well for me, I am wanting 1gb for the Media space and the rest (29.56) for /(root) -- It all seems to go well except during the installation it gets to about 2% and tells me that I need a media partition, although I have already added one.. It was at /media/sda3 im pretty sure, anyone know if this is incorrect?
[01:57] <Bison> Howitzer: sweet...i figured it was the 'server install'
[01:57] <Howitzer> oh
[01:57] <Howitzer> nope
[01:57] <Ballsy> Alright...my hardware issue aside...
[01:57] <Howitzer> that's another edition :D
[01:57] <bettsp> Heretician: Don't make a separate partition for /media
[01:57] <Bison> thank god...your a life saver
[01:58] <Reimu> Bison: I tried that of course, I want to find out how to make different workstations have different wallpapers but the manual doesn't help
[01:58] <Heretician> bettsp: one for /media and one for / ?
[01:58] <Howitzer> \ o /
[01:58] <Heretician> bettsp: it was going for /media/sda3
[01:58] <Howitzer> I mean something, Hurray xD
[01:58] <bettsp> Heretician: It's just all mountpoints, you're just wasting diskspace
[01:58] <binary1> hey, im trying to edit my sources.list file but it wont let me edit it in gedit, and ideas?
[01:58] <Bison> Reimu: let me look at my .ratpoisonrc real quick
[01:58] <Heretician> bettsp: How big should I make it?
[01:58] <Ballsy> Anyone had luck with x86_64 Ubuntu, and anyone know if they're looking at making Ubuntu Biarch-friendly in the next ver ?
[01:58] <cpk2> binary1: do it as sudo
[01:58] <darth_gimp> bettsp, Invalid operation build-essential
[01:58] <binary1> i did
[01:58] <bettsp> darth_gimp: Oops, apt_get install build_essential
[01:59] <bettsp> Heretician: Don't make a separate partition at all for /media
[01:59] <darth_gimp> thanks
[01:59] <Heretician> bettsp: It lets you just make one? It told me it was required ;/
[01:59] <JDStone> crap, is 'us.archive.ubuntu.com' down
[01:59] <Heretician> bettsp: Trying it now though.
[01:59] <JDStone> I can't do apt-get update
[01:59] <JDStone> it just says connecting
[01:59] <goonies> is there a light version of ubuntu out there
[01:59] <spartas> JDStone, it's down
[01:59] <bettsp> Heretitcian: No, make partitions for /home and /, that's it
[01:59] <goonies> or a way to build ubuntu from scratch
[01:59] <JDStone> spartas, how long 'til it's up?
[02:00] <ttyfscker> where is everyone that is developing for edgy??  i am trying to get some info in the #ubuntu+1 chan  but no one talks..
[02:00] <JDStone> til its back up
[02:00] <Ballsy> Anyone running VMWare on Ubuntu 64-bit by chance ?
[02:00] <Heretician> bettsp: It seems to be creating it itself lol
[02:00] <darth_gimp> bettsp, Looks like I already have that installed. Hmm how do I access g++ then?
[02:00] <Protostar> yo
[02:00] <Protostar> I'm having problems downloading from the repositories
[02:00] <rdemanow> If my system sounds are working fine, and Gaim is producing sounds, why am I not getting sounds from flash player in Firefox?
[02:00] <spartas> no eta, but you can do 'sudo sed -i /us.archive.ubuntu.com/archive.ubuntu.com/g /etc/apt/sources.list;sudo apt-get update' to change mirrors
[02:01] <Protostar> i can download off the net, but not from the repositories
[02:01] <bettsp> darth_gimp: Should work then. I could be full of it though
[02:01] <Heretician> bettsp: "No mount point selected for Partition 3 Disc USB/SCSI/SATA 1 (Primary) [sda3] ."
[02:01] <JDStone> thanks spa
[02:01] <darth_gimp> lol
[02:01] <JDStone> Protostar, the mirror is down
[02:01] <Protostar> oh
[02:01] <Heretician> bettsp: it is creating the extra 1gb itself
[02:01] <Protostar> Thanks
[02:01] <Protostar> I thought it was on my end
[02:01] <bettsp> Heretician: That sounds like swapspace maybe?
[02:02] <Heretician> bettsp: Yeah, that sorry.. What should I name it? /swap ?
[02:02] <spartas> whoa, JDStone, it should be sudo sed -i s/us.archive.ubuntu.com/archive.ubuntu.com/g /etc/apt/sources.list;sudo apt-get update
[02:02] <bettsp> Heretician: No, in the partition editor, just mark it as the type "Swap", swap space is kind of weird as it's not really a filesystem
[02:03] <JDStone> hehe, thanks spartas
[02:03] <Heretician> bettsp: Primary Partition?
[02:03] <binary1> what is the command to search ubuntu servers with apt..
[02:03] <binary1> apt-find?
[02:03] <spartas> apt-cache search
[02:03] <bettsp> Heretician: Yeah... it might be easier if you just let Ubuntu set up partitions for you
[02:04] <binary1> thanks
[02:04] <spartas> np
[02:04] <Heretician> bettsp: When I try that it uses the extra 1gb for / and the 29.56 for swap
[02:04] <darth_gimp> Ok, so I am looking for something that allows me to write my own C++ coding in. Any suggestions?
[02:05] <Qwell> darth_gimp: vi
[02:05] <darth_gimp> Qwell, vi?
[02:05] <Qwell> vi
[02:05] <spartas> darth_gimp, any text editor will work, vi is just one of the many command-line editors
[02:05] <karim> hi
[02:05] <bettsp> darth_gimp: KDevelop
[02:05] <karim> there is no backports for dapper ?
[02:06] <Heretician> bettsp: One is set as just "swap" (996 mb) and one is set as "/" (29.56) hopefully this works
[02:06] <darth_gimp> ok thanks
[02:06] <Heretician> bettsp: That look right?
[02:06] <darth_gimp> be back later.. thanks again....
[02:07] <ardchoille> Is there a single command that, when typed, will wait for a key input, tell you what signal that key sends and give you the choice of totally disabling that key? I have read 16 man pages and still can't figure out how to disable a keyboard key.
[02:11] <estan113> hello
[02:12] <estan113> nice to meet u all
[02:12] <omar> hi there..... I'm looking for transparent windows so the wallpaper is always visible
[02:13] <omar> does anyone knows the way to make all windows transparent ?
[02:14] <binary1> can someone help me install Berkeley DB??
[02:15] <omar> hi binary1... wanting to install Free BSD ?
[02:15] <binary1> no, trying to install dsniff actually
[02:16] <omar> then I'm lost :(
[02:16] <Qwell> binary1: can't just apt-get dsniff?
[02:16] <ardchoille> !info dsniff
[02:16] <ubotu> dsniff: Various tools to sniff network traffic for cleartext insecurities. In repository universe, is extra. Version 2.4b1-13 (dapper), package size 107 kB, installed size 360 kB
[02:16] <Qwell> seems feasible
[02:17] <clarity_> is there a good wireless util to find the power of each AP you have access to?
[02:17] <omar> I'm trying to make all my windows transparent so the wallpaper is always visible.... does anyone knows the way ?
[02:17] <clarity_> ie signal strength
[02:17] <binary1> ohh do i need to uncomment universe in sources.list???
[02:17] <Qwell> clarity_: iwlist scan doesn't show that?
[02:17] <dmsantam> clarity_, doesn't gnome network monitor do that for you?
[02:18] <clarity_> dmsantam: don't think so
[02:18] <clarity_> Qwell: works with my atheros but not my prism card
[02:20] <dmsantam> clarity_, it does for me
[02:20] <ardchoille> Ok, fixed my key problem.. I ripped it off the keyboard :) Couldn't find an app that lets me disable a single key.
[02:20] <dmsantam> version 2.12
[02:20] <dmsantam> ardchoille, lol!
[02:21] <OneSeventeen> Are there any scripts I can run to tell ubuntu to grab a network address?  (it doesn't get one by default when connecting to certain networks)
[02:21] <Apeiron> hey all :) i have a little problem with sudo, i want to execute a script which requires root privileges by pressing a hotkey. i configured sudo like this: "username    hostname = NOPASSWD: /bin/wlan_reset", and evrything works fine if i execute that thing from a shell, but seems like it dont want to work when envoked by a script. thanks for any tips and hints in advance
[02:21] <J-_> man, i spilt pop on my keyboard once, took it all apart, cleaned it, works perfect =D
[02:21] <Qwell> OneSeventeen: dhcpcd?  pump?
[02:21] <OneSeventeen> Qwell I'll man dhcpcd and pump to see what those are, thanks
[02:21] <Qwell> Those probably aren't "the ubuntu way" though
[02:22] <dmsantam> J-_, i spilt hot soup all over my laptop once. spent all night cleaning it up bit by bit, in the morning, it worked fine
[02:22] <dmsantam> J-_, it was a long stressful night though ;)
[02:22] <OneSeventeen> Qwell, well, so far the "ubuntu way" consists of network-manager-gnome trying and failing to connect to the internet... so I'm cool with trying something else.
[02:22] <JDStone> how do I confirm that Samba is installed with LDAP support?
[02:22] <Qwell> OneSeventeen: I generally just manually run dhcpcd if it can't get one the first time around
[02:23] <Qwell> or restart the iface
[02:23] <Qwell> (via whatever distro scripts)
[02:23] <OneSeventeen> Qwell: of course now the problem is figuring out how to install dhcpcd...
[02:23] <Qwell> OneSeventeen: It's very likely already installed
[02:23] <Qwell> or, one of the various ones are
[02:24] <Qwell> (note, I don't use Debian/ubuntu, so...)
[02:24] <OneSeventeen> Qwell: cool, thanks for the tips...
[02:24] <ardchoille> Could this be why the us repos aren't working? http://www.internetpulse.com/
[02:25] <Qwell> ardchoille: anything's possible
[02:26] <JDStone> how do I confirm that Samba is installed with LDAP support?
[02:26] <Heretician> Is it just me or will a hair being on your ubuntu cd stop it from installing?
[02:27] <tailsfan> IDK
[02:27] <Heretician> time to go and burn my 3rd ubuntu disc.
[02:27] <Reimu> Hereician: O_O, uhh try the check disks for errors, and maybe try burning at the slowest write speed
[02:27] <Qwell> Or you could pull the hair off..
[02:28] <spartas> and make sure your md5sum matches
[02:29] <nomasteryoda> som mirrors have images that are not complete
[02:29] <nomasteryoda> have seen that myself
[02:30] <JDStone> how do I confirm that Samba is installed with LDAP support?
[02:30] <Qwell> How would you guys recommend installing Ubuntu on a headless server (sparc)?  Would a CD install output to serial console?
[02:31] <Qwell> Obviously, a CD install would be easier than a netboot, if it's possible to do it that way
[02:32] <traveller_> Qwell I use headless servers that are located remotely and the problem always is can you do a warm and cold boot? The cold boot requires some kind of switch usually connected to a phone line.
[02:33] <Xorlev> Are the us.archive.ubuntu.com archives down?
[02:33] <Xorlev> Err...repos
[02:33] <traveller_> some nic cards can do warm boot
[02:33] <JDStone> how do I confirm that Samba is installed with LDAP support?
[02:33] <spartas> JDStone, i don't think anyone knows the answer to that one
[02:34] <wildechild> question i installed my second HD and installed windows on it and now i can't boot to mu ubuntu partition on my first hd
[02:34] <JDStone> I guess not
[02:34] <Blissex> JDStone: 'ldd' on the Samba executable.
[02:34] <JDStone> but I thought everyone was ignoreing me spartas
[02:34] <wheels3572> anyone in here know how to use and or find bit torrent files?
[02:34] <JDStone> Blissex, what's ldd?
[02:34] <Blissex> JDStone: 'man ldd' :-)
[02:34] <JDStone> of course, thanks :)
[02:35] <Blissex> wheels3572: web search for ".torrent"
[02:35] <Qwell> traveller_: yeah, I can always break out to the low level management interface
[02:35] <karim> wouldn't it be a nice idea to put a colinux windows executable on the live CD, to be able to run ubuntu directly from windows without even rebooting ?
[02:35] <spartas> Xorlev, they're down
[02:35] <Qwell> traveller_: the box is above me...literally
[02:35] <Xorlev> Does anyone have a list of alternate repository hosts that could be used in place of us.archive.ubuntu.com?
[02:35] <Qwell> Xorlev: take off the us.
[02:36] <JDStone> Blissex, libldap_r.so.2 => /usr/lib/libldap_r.so.2 (0xb7f6e000).  that means I have LDAP support, right?
[02:36] <Qwell> traveller_: So, you'd recommend a netboot, or?
[02:36] <Blissex> JDStone: probably...
[02:36] <spartas> Xorlev, you can switch mirrors using sudo sed -i s/us.archive.ubuntu.com/archive.ubuntu.com/g /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:36] <JDStone> probably?
[02:36] <Hisham> how do i fix that?
[02:36] <Hisham> You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "lost+found".
[02:37] <Mime-Tails> WHat is that folder all about anyway?
[02:37] <Blissex> Mime-Tails: recovered files.
[02:37] <spartas> JDStone, make sure you have smbldap-tools installed
[02:37] <Hisham> it's a folder on a partition
[02:37] <JDStone> spartas, I do
[02:37] <Hisham> how can i set permissions to read/write
[02:37] <spartas> okay, that's the only thing i see in apt referring to samba using ldap
[02:38] <ardchoille> Hisham: on what? a file? a device that is in fstab?
[02:38] <nomasteryoda> Hisham, is the partition ext2 or ntfs or fat32?
[02:38] <Hisham> ext3
[02:38] <Hisham> i mounted the ext3 on a folder
[02:38] <Hisham> and now i cant read or write to it
[02:39] <lopzided> how do i reset all my gnome settings to default from the console?
[02:39] <Reimu> Does anyone know how to use xsetroot to have a different wallpaper per workspace?
[02:39] <Hisham> ??
[02:39] <ardchoille> lopzided: That question has been asked quite a lot in other channels I frequent and noone has been able to answer it yet.
[02:40] <omar> has anyone any ideas for getting all windows transparent so the wallpaper is always visible
[02:40] <Mime-Tails> Is there anyway to delete locked folders without signing in as root?
[02:40] <Hisham> ??
[02:40] <Hisham> common please
[02:40] <spartas> JDStone, looks like you have to configure smbldap-tools: http://docs.biostat.wustl.edu/smbldap-tools/smbldap-tools002.html
[02:40] <ardchoille> Mime-Tails: no, this is the purpose of permissions
[02:41] <Steph14> My install stops when it gets to the point where it says "Checking Mirror" any help
[02:41] <omar> I belive I'll have to deal deeper with X server....

[02:41] <lostinc> Hi I installed xUbuntu while I like it I would like to upgrade (or downgrade it depends on the point of view) to the latest GNOME Desktop with all the bells and whistles. How can I do that without a full reinstall?
[02:42] <Si1v3rF0x> Anyone have problems running   sudo apt-get install ssh
[02:42] <omar> see ya' ubuntu dudes
[02:42] <Si1v3rF0x> I just installed the 6.06 LTS
[02:42] <Mime-Tails> Bye :)
[02:42] <void^> !info openssh-server
[02:42] <ubotu> openssh-server: Secure shell server, an rshd replacement. In repository main, is optional. Version 1:4.2p1-7ubuntu3 (dapper), package size 200 kB, installed size 540 kB
[02:42] <ardchoille> lostinc: I believe ubuntu-desktop includes the latest stable gnome version.
[02:42] <JDStone> anyone know why the samba.scheme file is not included with Ubuntu?
[02:43] <lostinc> ok
[02:43] <Mime-Tails> What were to happen if you removed ubuntu-desktop?
[02:43] <ardchoille> lostinc: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[02:43] <ardchoille> Mime-Tails: it's just a meta package, it's safe to remove.
[02:44] <oneeyedelf1> how do I add ssh to startup on computer start
[02:44] <nomasteryoda> !ssh
[02:44] <ubotu> ssh is the Secure SHell protocol (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SSHHowto). Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows, which can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[02:45] <Loku> Hey
[02:45] <Loku> how do i login as root
[02:45] <som1> how am i supposed to write on a floppy disk? using what?
[02:45] <kozlojak> I am having a problem, Whene i stat up ubutu it takes about 5 mins for my wireless to work correctly it will keep droping and i get about 50% packet loss, the same computer works fine with windows, so i dont think it is the router or card. Any idea's?
[02:45] <Loku> no sudo
[02:45] <spartas> oneeyedelf1, you actually want to install openssh-server, not ssh (the client)
[02:45] <Loku> in graphical
[02:45] <som1> Loku, i dont think you can or even should
[02:45] <nomasteryoda> Loady, open a terminal and type sudo -s
[02:45] <kozlojak> *lots of mistakes
[02:45] <nomasteryoda> if you want
[02:45] <Loku> i cant access one of my disks
[02:45] <Si1v3rF0x> Hey I have installed this before and looking at the doc it said install  openssh-server when I do that I get a error unable to find
[02:45] <Loku> i think a permission error
[02:45] <som1> Loku, mount things using /etc/fstab
[02:46] <Loku> what's the diff
[02:46] <som1> Loku, it lets non-root users access the mounted um, thingies :-)
[02:46] <spartas> !thingy
[02:46] <som1> how do i create a floppy disk? there was some tool for doing that iirc
[02:46] <ubotu> I know nothing about thingy - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[02:46] <oneeyedelf1> spartas: I installed openssh-server, and I get the /etc/init.d/ssh start to start it, but I dont know how to add it to the startup scripts
[02:47] <wheels3572> I have done a search for Bit torrent on how to use it but I cant find Nothing lol any help on how to use it or even point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated thanks
[02:47] <Mime-Tails> Create a Floppy?
[02:47] <gore> anyone know how to get gnomebaker to burn mp3's into an audio cd?
[02:47] <Mime-Tails> as in to format it?
[02:48] <Loku> `fstab' exists but is not a directory
[02:48] <Loku> ??
[02:48] <gore> its really frustrating me
[02:48] <Mime-Tails> You need the right encoders/decoders
[02:48] <som1> Mime-Tails, yeah, and then put stuff on it!
[02:48] <som1> im so happy its not broken. :-)
[02:48] <oneeyedelf1> nomasteryoda I couldnt find out how to add ssh to the startup scripts, and it doesnt say in the tutorial yuo showed me
[02:48] <Loku> som1,
[02:48] <Loku> i mounted on fstab
[02:48] <ketetha_> hii
[02:49] <spartas> oneeyedelf1, there must be a link to /etc/init.d/sshd in /etc/rc*.d (where * is the runlevel)
[02:49] <gore> yah but where do I find the right encoders decoders for baker
[02:49] <Loku> but how do i access it
[02:49] <Loku> ?
[02:49] <ketetha_> i  need help downlaoding quot libet
[02:49] <som1> Loku, yeah, its a file. you need to edit it as root
[02:49] <oneeyedelf1> Si1v3rF0x: I used that synaptic and it installed it
[02:49] <Mime-Tails> som1 what Ubuntu are you using?
[02:49] <Loku> how?
[02:49] <void^> oneeyedelf1: isn't it starting automagically?
[02:49] <oneeyedelf1> void^: nope
[02:49] <som1> Mime-Tails, oh, hoary hedgehog. heh :-) the x86 thing
[02:49] <oneeyedelf1> spartas: what runlevel should it go in
[02:49] <oneseventeen> Qwell, it looks like dhcpcd is not included, but once I got away from network-manager-gnome and manually set up the wireless adapter, it is working...  of course this makes switching networks more annoying, but at least it works.
[02:50] <Loku> som1, How
[02:50] <Loku> ?
[02:50] <Mime-Tails> O.K. Insert a Floppy and then right-click the icon and select Format
[02:50] <kozlojak> When i start up ubuntu it takes about 5 mins for my wireless to work correctly it will keep droping and i get about 50% packet loss, the same computer works fine with windows, so i dont think it is the router or card. Any idea's?
[02:50] <ketetha_> nevermind gotta go byee
[02:50] <Mime-Tails> then select the type and click "Format"
[02:50] <som1> Loku, sudo nano /etc/fstab
[02:50] <Loku> ok, then change what
[02:51] <spartas> oneeyedelf1, the links are called S20ssh, and they are present in runlevels 2-5
[02:51] <root> I cant seem to get to us.archive.ubuntu.com... is anyone else having problems with apt-get ?? i can ping it just fine... but apt hangs
[02:51] <Qwell> You guys should just put that in the topic...
[02:51] <som1> Mime-Tails, just one second
[02:51] <regeya> !mirrors
[02:51] <ubotu> Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive
[02:51] <spartas> runlevels 1 and 6 have the same link, except it's called K20ssh (K is for stop)
[02:51] <Loku> som1, what do i edit?
[02:51] <mrcoyote> Yep all
[02:52] <oneeyedelf1> spartas: they are present, but for some reason it isnt starting at startup
[02:52] <spartas> okay, check dmesg for any ssh errors
[02:53] <som1> Loku, well, you might wanna "man fstab". theres probably a better guide somewhere
[02:53] <nick_> anyone have any ideas? i cant imagine the main package server is down....?
[02:53] <som1> Loku, you just tell it what to mount, what to mount it to and using what options
[02:54] <Loku> i dont get it
[02:54] <Blazeix> Loku: I came in late, what device are you trying to use?
[02:54] <Loku> what device?
[02:54] <Blazeix> Or what are you trying to do?
[02:54] <Loku> ok
[02:54] <Loku> i formatted a partition to ext2
[02:54] <Loku> and when i mount it
[02:54] <Loku> i cant read or write
[02:55] <LuisMendes> I don't want Rhythmbox opening everytime I plug-in my iPod... how can I do that?
[02:55] <Loku> so som1 told me to mount on fstab
[02:55] <Loku> and i did
[02:55] <Loku> and it's a file
[02:55] <Loku> so how do i access my partition now
[02:55] <Loku> ?
[02:55] <regeya> if you're having trouble with apt-get right now, the mirrors list and sed are your friends (I suppose the mirrors list and perl could be your friend too ;-)
[02:55] <Mime-Tails> Did it work som1
[02:55] <nomasteryoda> Loku, type mount -a
[02:55] <nomasteryoda> see if it is mounted
[02:55] <som1> Mime-Tails, i found it its just on /media. couldve saved me all the almost-crying :-)
[02:55] <Blazeix> nomasteryoda, i think its already mounted, he can't just read/write to it. in the command line, try to navigate to the partition thats mounted, and type 'sudo chmod 777 *myFolder*
[02:55] <som1> Mime-Tails, thanks. alot.
[02:56] <Loku> mount: mount point /etc/fstab is not a directory
[02:56] <Mime-Tails> No Prob :)
[02:56] <nomasteryoda> ah well, if ha can as root then that would make the diff
[02:56] <BlueTiger> There, a nick that isn't regged. xD
[02:56] <Blazeix> loku, try the chmod command i talked about in my last line
[02:56] <sethk> Loku, indeed it isn't.  it's a file
[02:56] <som1> Loku, i thought you cant write on your mounted disk, and you wanted to log in as root (graphically) so you can
[02:57] <sethk> Loku, it specifies how to mount things, but it is not a mount point
[02:57] <Loku> well
[02:57] <sethk> Loku, to mount everything in /etc/fstab you can use   mount -a
[02:57] <Loku> what do i do
[02:57] <Loku> i mean
[02:57] <Loku> here's my fstab file
[02:57] <nomasteryoda> no
[02:57] <nick_> i'm looking at the mirrors list in the ubuntu wiki.... all of these have full copies of the ubuntu repositories?
[02:57] <nomasteryoda> put it on http://pastebin
[02:57] <nomasteryoda> .com
[02:57] <n3rdism> !pastebin > loku
[02:57] <nomasteryoda> or some such
[02:57] <nomasteryoda> thanks
[02:58] <Loku> i will only paste a line
[02:58] <sethk> Loku, either paste it to a pastebin, or just paste only one line
[02:58] <Loku> /dev/hda3       /etc/fstab        ext2    defaults        0       0
[02:58] <susta> Hi
[02:58] <sethk> Loku, that's incorrect
[02:58] <nomasteryoda> susta, howday
[02:58] <nick_> if i put more than one into my source.list will it do 'either' or 'both'?
[02:58] <nnnamenn> does anyone of you use eclise (with dapper)
[02:58] <Loku> then what do i do?
[02:58] <sethk> Loku, because, as you said, /etc/fstab is not a mount point
[02:58] <sethk> Loku, you have to create a directory for mounting it
[02:58] <Loku> ok, then i change /etc/fstab to whatever dir
[02:58] <sethk> Loku, right
[02:58] <Blazeix> Try "/dev/hda3       /mnt        ext2    defaults        0       0"
[02:59] <nomasteryoda> like /mnt/files
[02:59] <Loku> ok, 1 sec
[02:59] <MystaMax> hello chmod question. I'm trying to chmod a directory, i entered sudo chmod o+r /mydirectory  - I received this error chmod: cannot access `/mydirectory': No such file or directory
[02:59] <Apeiron> well, im trying it a second time, since i dont got any responses.. i have a problem with sudo. i try to execute a command which requires root privileges from within xbindkeys. i created a rule which allows me to run that command without typing in my password, and evrything works fine if i type "sudo <command>" in a terminal, but it fails if i try to execute it from within xbindkeys. thanks in advance for any tips and hints :)
[02:59] <sethk> Blazeix, using /mnt that way will hide subdirectories in /mnt, so that's not a good idea
[02:59] <Reimu> Does anyone know how to use xsetroot to have a different wallpaper per workspace?
[02:59] <susta> I'm trying to install ubuntu dapper, I've the dapper CD
[02:59] <BlueTiger> arg, does anyone know how to recover the root password on a fresh installation? It claims that the password is wrong, but I'm positive I'm typing it right (no CAPS LOCK, and I know what I set it to). =/
[02:59] <Loku> /dev/hda3       /mnt/new        ext2    defaults        0       0
[03:00] <Loku> better/
[03:00] <Loku> ?
[03:00] <Blazeix> yes better
[03:00] <Loku> ok, then what?
[03:00] <nnnamenn> MystaMax: chmod -R o+r dirname
[03:00] <Blazeix> try mount -a
[03:00] <Blazeix> then go to /mnt/new
[03:01] <nnnamenn> BlueTiger: use sudo, root account is disabled
[03:01] <Loku> Mount failed.
[03:01] <Loku> :(
[03:01] <MystaMax> nnnamenn, I received the same error
[03:01] <BlueTiger> It said the same thing when I tried sudo
[03:01] <Blazeix> what was the error?
[03:01] <Loku> Mount failed.
[03:01] <nnnamenn> MystaMax: are you sure the file/directory is there then?
[03:01] <BlueTiger> =/
[03:01] <Loku> yeah
[03:01] <Loku> it is
[03:02] <susta> I run the Install link but the wizard keep looking for the Hard Disk, I want to make my own partitions, I use a SATA disk, any of you have the same problem??
[03:02] <nnnamenn> BlueTiger: you type in the same password as for your user account?
[03:02] <BlueTiger> no
[03:02] <Blazeix> try 'sudo mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/new'
[03:02] <BlueTiger> different passwords for root and user
[03:02] <Qwell> When doing a dhcpd tftpd boot, the dhcpd doesn't have to be the same server as the tftpd, does it?
[03:02] <nnnamenn> BlueTiger: try that
[03:02] <MystaMax> nnnamenn, yes. if i run ls -lh theres a d infront of all the permissions
[03:02] <Blazeix> just type it into the command line, don't put it into fstab
[03:02] <nnnamenn> MystaMax: can you chmod other files?
[03:02] <noname_> hi all....I've would like to know if someone can tell me how to install kernel sources manually in ubuntu
[03:03] <Loku> mount: according to mtab, /dev/hda3 is already mounted on /mnt/new
[03:03] <Loku> wtf
[03:03] <sethk> Loku, then it is, in fact, already mounted on /mnt/new
[03:03] <tinLoaf> hi.. which package contains the mysql documentation?
[03:03] <commctrl> how can I fork a program into the background so that it will stay running if the controlling terminal disappears?
[03:03] <Blazeix> o.k. then go to /mnt/new, and see if your files are there
[03:03] <sethk> Loku, mount never lies
[03:03] <Loku> "/mnt/new/lost+found" cannot be deleted because you do not have permissions to modify its parent folder.
[03:03] <tinLoaf> commctrl: nohup
[03:03] <commctrl> tinLoaf, thanks
[03:04] <TWD> Hey.
[03:04] <MystaMax> nnnamenn, yes
[03:04] <oneeyedelf1> commctrl: yuo can also use screen
[03:04] <sethk> Loku, you need root privileges to take that out.  by the way, you should not removed the list+found irectory
[03:04] <sethk> lost+found directory, sorry
[03:04] <Blazeix> you shouldn't delete lost and found
[03:04] <MystaMax> nnnamenn, if this helps its a directory in my /var/www
[03:04] <LuisMendes> I don't want Rhythmbox opening everytime I plug-in my iPod... how can I do that?
[03:04] <Loku> i cant write to my new /mnt/new
[03:04] <commctrl> oneeyedelf1, i just need to run mail-notification. i put it in my startup programs but i don't want to logout just to start it up
[03:04] <sethk> Loku, use sudo, either to write or to do a chmod or chown so your user id can write
[03:04] <Mime-Tails> LuisMendes, go to System > Removable Drives and Media and Disable the iPod
[03:05] <sethk> LuisMendes, take the battery out of the ipod.  then nothing will happen when you plug it in.  :)
[03:05] <Loku> ok, what is the chown command
[03:05] <nnnamenn> MystaMax: mh shouldn't be any different, do you have permission/own the directory to change permissions for it?
[03:05] <damo22> how do i bypass the default wm and load wmii on startup
[03:05] <dmsantam> Loku, man chown
[03:05] <oneeyedelf1> commctrl: alright then, nohup would work
[03:05] <sethk> Loku, chown user:group /mnt/new
[03:05] <ardchoille> chown - change file owner and group
[03:05] <sethk> Loku, so, in this case, sudo chown user:group /mnt/new
[03:05] <LuisMendes> Mime-Tails, oh thx, exactly what I need!
[03:05] <sethk> Loku, and of course user:group is your user and group.  the    id    command will display your user and group (in case you don't know it)
[03:06] <cwillu> xgl is cool
[03:06] <cwillu> in other news...
[03:06] <sethk> Loku, you can use  user   instead of   user:group and change only the user
[03:06] <Mime-Tails> No Problem
[03:06] <tinLoaf> which package contains the mysql documentation?
[03:06] <sethk> Loku,   man chmod     will show you how to use chmod,  man chown will show you how to use chown, etc.
[03:06] <cwillu> how to I get a motherboard raid working?  it's already partitioned for windows;  the faq I've been looking at says to use dmraid, but I've installed everything that seems applicable, but no dmraid
[03:06] <damo22> join #wmii
[03:07] <nick_> quit
[03:07] <TWD> I need help figuring out how to set up my Ubuntu server LAMP so I can ssh into it.
[03:08] <Mime-Tails> Wonders if Ubuntu will ever get Spywarer
[03:08] <Mime-Tails> Spyware*
[03:08] <MystaMax> nnnamenn, I got it. I had to do it like this: chmod -R o+r /var/www/ktdms/
[03:08] <TWD> I've tried searching around and I've tried using iptables and stuff to open the port but I can't figure out the command to use.
[03:08] <BlueTiger> ahhh, crap. Now it doesn't do anything when I try to use sudo. Doesn't even ask for a password. >_<
[03:08] <Navop> Hi all, new to ubuntu, d/l the server cd ..burned it and tried to install it... it gets pass the init file, then the screen goes blank...it like it stopped loading..plz help
[03:09] <cwillu> !search raid
[03:09] <ubotu> Found: lvm, fuse, raid
[03:09] <nnnamenn> MystaMax: eh didn't i say that? >_< sorry
[03:09] <Mime-Tails> Navop, Have you downloaded the file right
[03:09] <spartas> just be careful when using chmod, cause you really don't want to remove execute permissions to the chmod script
[03:09] <MystaMax> nnnamenn, do you understand why I couldn't do it like this: chmod -R o+r /ktdms/  - If I was in the directory
[03:09] <Mime-Tails> Sometimes D/l Managers can mess downloads up
[03:10] <nnnamenn> MystaMax: yes because the initial slash is wrong
[03:10] <MystaMax> nnnamenn, oh should it of been ./
[03:10] <nnnamenn> MystaMax: that would be the directory /ktdms not /var/www/ktdms
[03:10] <oneseventeen> how do I stop synaptic from accessing us archives?  (there is no mention of us.archives in sources.list)
[03:10] <nnnamenn> MystaMax: no, just chmod -R o+r ktdms
 I think so if i just load it from windows the cd boots up to run live...
[03:10] <MystaMax> nnnamenn, ahh
[03:10] <MystaMax> thanks
[03:10] <nnnamenn> MystaMax: given you're in the directory /var/www
[03:10] <darekdmp> where is torrent bibble for linux????????
[03:10] <Si1v3rF0x> .
[03:10] <Mime-Tails> The ISO or the CD Itself>
[03:11] <nnnamenn> MystaMax: :)
 burned the iso with nero..
[03:11] <Blazeix> oneseventeen, if you removed the source from sources.list you will have to run 'sudo apt-get update' for the changes to take effect.
[03:11] <darekdmp> where is torrent bibble for linux?????????
[03:11] <wheels3572> Can anyone that knows bit torrenting help me please
 then tryed the cd to see if it worked
[03:11] <Mime-Tails> Hmm, It could be the download
[03:11] <commctrl> what is torrent bibble?
[03:11] <commctrl> wheels3572, azureus?
[03:12] <wheels3572> commctrl: actually I am using what come with ubuntu which is bittorrent lol but I dont know how to use either of them lol
[03:12] <oneseventeen> Blazeix: once I do that it goes through all but the last two.. the second to last it is trying to retrieve from us.archive.ubuntu.com
[03:12] <darekdmp> bibble for raw
[03:12] <commctrl> darekdmp, still don't know what bibble is
[03:12] <darekdmp> raw format
[03:12] <commctrl> raw format? what's that?
[03:12] <kozlojak> When i start up ubuntu it takes about 5 mins for my wireless to work correctly it will keep droping and i get about 50% packet loss, the same computer works fine with windows, so i dont think it is the router or card. Any idea's?
[03:12] <darekdmp> photo format
[03:13] <commctrl> wheels3572, i'd suggest using Azureus, much nicer than bittorrent
[03:13] <wheels3572> commctrl: ok ty
is thier a place where i can get a fresh copy of ubuntu server...then from the ubuntu home directory
[03:13] <commctrl> darekdmp, so you're asking where a Torrent for Bibble for Linux is?

[03:27] <FunnyLookinHat> : P  this is not enjoyable
[03:27] <Si1v3rF0x> Yes I know need to install ssh server
[03:27] <Si1v3rF0x> and other stuff
[03:28] <profoX`> it will be back up when it is back up :) just use a different mirror for now.. archive.ubuntu.com or uk.archive.ubuntu.com for example
[03:28] <Si1v3rF0x> how do you change this
[03:28] <profoX`> Si1v3rF0x: change it everywhere in /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:29] <StevenQuinn> where would i find what driver my wifi card uses?
[03:29] <StevenQuinn> (on dapper)
[03:29] <fowlduck> any ideas for recovering a file off of a partition that is currently ext3 and was previously reiserfs?  it was saved on reiser (repeat)
[03:29] <profoX`> StevenQuinn: google ? what does "lspci|grep Ethernet" give you?
[03:30] <StevenQuinn> hm
[03:30] <StevenQuinn> it gives me my onboard PCI one
[03:30] <StevenQuinn> but i want to use my USB one because my PCI card doesnt support rmon
[03:30] <StevenQuinn> erm
[03:30] <profoX`> StevenQuinn: oh, (what is rmon)
[03:30] <StevenQuinn> so lsusb shows me:

[03:31] <LinuxN00b> Hey, do you guys know any bootable optical drive diagnostic programs?
[03:32] <gregg__> LinuxN00b: DVD/CD diagnostics?
[03:32] <StevenQuinn> LinuxNOOB: it would seem to me that a bootable cd diagnostic program is a little ass-backwards, if you would pardon my language
[03:33] <StevenQuinn> seeing as how you would need to boot off a cd to try to run it
[03:33] <fowlduck> lol
[03:33] <fowlduck> true dat
[03:33] <StevenQuinn> though you could just get two cd/dvd drives
[03:33] <StevenQuinn> lol
[03:33] <profoX`> StevenQuinn: isn't it recognized by default? or does iwconfig give you nothing?
[03:34] <oneseventeen> Is there any way to get network-manager to try harder at getting a network address?
[03:34] <Tommy2k4> ubuntu has crashed over 10 times today
[03:34] <StevenQuinn> olll
[03:34] <StevenQuinn> lol*
[03:35] <dmsantam> oneseventeen, do it on the command line. "dhclient eth0"
[03:35] <dmsantam> oneeyedelf1, that's assuming eth0 is your interface your trying to get address for
[03:35] <dmsantam> oneeyedelf1, i meant oneseventeen :)
[03:35] <gregg__> StevenQuinn: you can also boot via USB
[03:35] <oneseventeen> dmsantam: thanks, I didn't know about dhclient
[03:35] <StevenQuinn> gregg_: good idea, i have a DSL distro and it rocks (for it's size)
[03:35] <profoX`> Tommy2k4: paste your /var/log/syslog on the net somewhere or on www.pastebin.ca and tell us what you were doing before it started crashing
[03:36] <jaysef> please can someone help me get my internet working
[03:36] <gregg__> StevenQuinn: slax rocks like nothing else especially on an USB stick
[03:36] <Tommy2k4> that time i was in styles in kcontrol
[03:36] <profoX`> jaysef: wireless or wired
[03:36] <LinuxN00b> Hey, i had to go but im back, but i SEEMS to me that the arm in the drive stops at one point
[03:37] <Tommy2k4> ive had it happen a few times while using find-file in konqueror (5 times in a row 100% reproduceable (but my kde autostart starts all my apps so i quit them 1 at a time and found out that only xmms made it crash))
[03:37] <LinuxN00b> does anyone know how to..how should i say this..."prove" that the arm stops?
[03:37] <Tommy2k4> but i only started using xmms today and its been crashing forever
[03:38] <westerfunk> where can I download desktop themes for xubuntu?
[03:38] <Tommy2k4> i used to use kaffeine, maybe xine is the problem?
[03:38] <pawan1234> recover lost partition
[03:38] <teicah> how do i mount a lvm partition on a non-lvm system?  here is my prob: http://rafb.net/paste/results/wOl01V95.html
[03:38] <Tommy2k4> which is weird tho because what happens is my monitor flashes lots of lines then gives the error frequency out of range 31khz/0hz
[03:38] <gregg__> LinuxN00b: get a new drive
[03:38] <LinuxN00b> yeah but i want to be sure
[03:38] <Tommy2k4> i dont see how xine could cause that
[03:38] <gregg__> they are CHEAP :)
[03:38] <LinuxN00b> i know
[03:38] <eternalswd> is there any way of making nautilus dual pane?
[03:39] <dadgumit> damn ubuntu is TONS slower than windows, what's wrong?
[03:39] <StevenQuinn> your computer
[03:39] <StevenQuinn> either that or you have ubuntu configured incorrectly
[03:39] <LinuxN00b> rofl
[03:39] <dadgumit> same computer dude, dual boot
[03:39] <gregg__> LinuxN00b: does the drive even recognize CDs/DVDs?
[03:39] <StevenQuinn> no
[03:39] <wheels3572> Can anyone help me get by the Nat Error I have ?
[03:39] <StevenQuinn> something is wrong with your computer
[03:39] <dadgumit> the second option could be true
[03:39] <profoX`> Tommy2k4: no idea.. but maybe you should edit xorg.conf to use the right frequencies as it says in the manual of your monitor
[03:39] <StevenQuinn> ubuntu takes long to start
[03:40] <StevenQuinn> when compared to a well-tuned windows system
[03:40] <LinuxN00b> It reconizes it, but at one point of EVERY CD i run, it crashes
[03:40] <StevenQuinn> but when running it is much, much faster
[03:40] <dadgumit> I have the exact opposite issue
[03:40] <Netherand> Are there any issues with the US repositories?  My machine can't connect to do an apt-get update.
[03:40] <teicah> StevenQuinn: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=89491
[03:40] <LinuxN00b> such as the ubuntu install, kubuntu install, and windows install
[03:40] <Netherand> I can ping it just fine, but it won't update.
[03:40] <StevenQuinn> LinuxNoob: i think you should just get a new dvd drive
[03:41] <LinuxN00b> yeah
[03:41] <dadgumit> I mean, going to maps.yahoo.com, I use up half of my processors power (dual core) trying to move the map some
[03:41] <LinuxN00b> but i have to run a live CD under 75 megs because of where the arm stops
[03:41] <StevenQuinn> that's because of the engine yahoo maps uses
[03:41] <gregg__> LinuxN00b: that sounds... just odd
[03:41] <StevenQuinn> if you don't like ubuntu don't come complain here, just don't use it
[03:41] <Netherand> (duh, just read topic)
[03:42] <dadgumit> StevenQuinn: don't be a tard, if you don't feel like helping fine, but being a tard doesn't help
[03:42] <LinuxN00b> hey maybe you guys can help me figure what the problem is if it isnt the CD drive
[03:42] <dadgumit> if you want to offer optimization tips, or tell me places I may have messed up my configuration for instance, that might be helpfull
[03:42] <eternalswd> dadgumit, are you using xgl/compiz?
[03:43] <dadgumit> eternalswd: thanks, nope though
[03:43] <LinuxN00b> Everytime i run the kubuntu/ubuntu install it crashes while setting up the ext3/2 file system
[03:43] <gregg__> dadgumit: maybe use another browser, for example opera
[03:43] <dadgumit> eternalswd: do have exceleration
[03:43] <minerale> ugh, myspace is down....
[03:43] <eternalswd> just wondering, because that bogs down my computer
[03:43] <dadgumit> gregg__: that is a good idea, I actually hadn't thought of that
[03:43] <LinuxN00b> ive tried ubuntu, ubuntu server, kubuntu desktop, and kubuntu alt
[03:43] <Shak-> is the us.archive.ubuntu.com mirror down?
[03:43] <pawan1234> lost part
[03:43] <wheels3572> Shak:  Yes it is
[03:43] <Shak-> I cant seem to get packages/update my package list due to that mirror
[03:43] <Shak-> ah k
[03:44] <dadgumit> brb
[03:44] <Shak-> wheels3572: any reason why?
[03:44] <Mattchewie> I haven't been able to connect to yahoo either, must be a day of outages
[03:44] <minerale> ok. lost's of high profile websites seem to be down, anything going on ?
[03:44] <TheUni> using the kubuntu live cd, how can i reinstall grub? I had to install windows, so i need Grub back in the MBR
[03:44] <pawan1234> recover
[03:44] <Okita> Okay, I need help with raid:  I made a raid device using mdadm, and it wouldn't mount due to bad superblock.  Upon stopping the raid device and checking the fs, things seem to be wrong with it
[03:44] <Tommy2k4> to whoever was just helping me: it crashed AGAIN :@
[03:44] <gregg__> dadgumit: compared to firefox under win32, it is somewhat slower in linux IMHO
[03:44] <wheels3572> Shak-: no idea why but you need to remove us from your sources.list so it reads archive.ubuntu.com instead of us.archive.ubuntu.com
[03:44] <Shak-> ah ok
[03:44] <Tommy2k4> us.archive is down
[03:45] <Shak-> just remove the 'us' then
[03:45] <wheels3572> Shak-: remove us.
[03:45] <Shak-> k
[03:45] <wheels3572> I can show you an example hold on
[03:45] <Navop> k ro burn iso I just use nero and burn iso
[03:45] <minerale> http://www.systemstatus.com/backbonereport.html
[03:46] <LinuxN00b> any idea on what my problem is for the filesystems?
[03:46] <wheels3572> Shak-: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu is what you want NOT http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
[03:47] <Shak-> wheels3572: ok, im just find/replacing all the us.
[03:47] <cristophine> Hi all. I'm trying to get my nvidia drivers running. The drivers install properly and I can start x after installing. When I restart, the system cant start x. Apparently it is finding the wrong driver. Suggestions?
[03:47] <wheels3572> Shak-: Correct remove all the us. :)
[03:47] <LinuxN00b> cristophine: try StartX
[03:48] <cristophine> LinuxNoob: Its starting properly after install with startx
[03:48] <cristophine> LinuxNoob: when I log in however, I need to rmmod nvidia and modprobe nvidia for it to find the right driver
[03:49] <LinuxN00b> psh, dont take anything from me, hence, "Linuxn00b"
 K got the server iso, i just burn it with nero, nothing special...to do
[03:50] <cristophine> no worries; i've fixed this before, but I dont remember how :s
[03:50] <Tommy2k4> its safe to clear /var/log/syslog right
[03:50] <LinuxN00b> okay so NO ONE has ANY idea of what my computers problem is?
[03:51] <cristophine> whats the problem?
[03:51] <Merkidemis> I started to install Xine, and added the Debian unstable repository to my apt list.  However, there are some packages that fail to install (tzdata specifically) and I seem unable to repair it.  Any way to roll back the operation?
[03:51] <LinuxN00b> Everytime i run the kubuntu/ubuntu install it crashes while setting up the ext3/2 file system
[03:51] <regeya> seriously, what was the problem, LinuxN00b; I'm far too lazy to scroll back
[03:51] <LinuxN00b> Everytime i run the kubuntu/ubuntu install it crashes while setting up the ext3/2 file system
[03:51] <cristophine> try reiserfs
[03:51] <Tommy2k4> pastebin is saying im not entering text when i am
[03:51] <cristophine> its better than ext
[03:51] <Merkidemis> I need to replace libc6 with the ubuntu version
[03:51] <Tommy2k4> is there a line limit
[03:52] <cristophine> LinuxNoob: use reiserfs
[03:52] <pawan1234> adsl broadband in ubuntu
[03:52] <pawan1234> how
[03:52] <LinuxN00b> alright thanks, brb gonna try again
[03:52] <sam__> um...
[03:52] <roostishaw> what file does a vertual machine use to launch? i need to change its permissions...
[03:52] <Mattchewie> :|
[03:52] <sam__> My wireless card thinks it's an ethernet card; what do I do?
[03:52] <regeya> LinuxN00b: or, you could take a hint and assume it's a hardware issue...hate to say it but either incompatibility or hardware failure could be it...if either are true, your life will be MORE miserable with reiserfs
[03:53] <halibut> Is it possible to get this working in ubuntu? http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/90805
[03:53] <sam__> it worked before I updated
[03:53] <sam__> (I updated today
[03:53] <exacube> Is anyone running Ubuntu on an iMac?
[03:53] <exacube> old version of iMac.. 2000 model, where it looks like a fat CRT monitor
[03:54] <Mattchewie> Halibut, depends on what chipset its using
[03:54] <cristophine> exacube: I didnt think you could run linux on a nonintel mac?
[03:54] <roostishaw> anyone, what file(s) does a vertual machine use to launch? in other words, what file do i need to change permissions on for all users to be able to use that virtual machine?
[03:54] <Mattchewie> I have a 6-in-one and apparely its supported but only in Kernel 2.6.17
[03:54] <halibut> Mattchewie, It plugs in to a usb header on mobo, I assume ubuntu will be ok from there?
[03:55] <exacube> cristophine: linux is the most portable operating system on the planet. Yeah, it can
[03:55] <Mattchewie> halibut, once again, it depends on what the motherboard is using to control it. For example, my usb and firefire works fine on my 6 in one, but the sd/cf/and memory stick reader does not
[03:56] <Mattchewie> I would run a "lscpi" and do some digging on google before you make your purchase
[03:56] <exacube> Macs prior to the intel mac used PPC processors (PowerPC)
[03:56] <exacube> they switched over because PowerPC are powerhungry (as the name suggests)
[03:57] <cristophine> exacube: my bad; that was windows...
[03:57] <exacube> costly, and not nearly as powerful as AMD or Intel
[03:57] <exacube> ah.
[03:57] <Paladine> !restricted > paladine
[03:57] <tripppy> can someone help? im getting a kernel panic error
[03:57] <exacube> yeah, windows runs on x86 architectures only (AMD, Intel)
[03:58] <RTB|Sock> it used to run on PPC and alpha
[03:58] <Mattchewie> that it did!
[03:58] <exacube> o rly?
[03:58] <roostishaw> anyone, what file(s) does a vertual machine use to launch? in other words, what file do i need to change permissions on for all users to be able to use that virtual machine?
[03:59] <tripppy> GRUB boots, it loads kernel, then it errors in this order
[03:59] <tripppy> ramdisk ran out of compressed data
[03:59] <tripppy> invaild compressed format (error=1)
[03:59] <tripppy> kernel panic not syncing VFS unable to mount root on unkown block (0,0)
[03:59] <RTB|Sock> anybody, how do you make a wireless card act like a wireless card
[03:59] <RTB|Sock> mine says it's an ethernet card
[03:59] <RTB|Sock> with lspci
[03:59] <Mattchewie> :|
[03:59] <RTB|Sock> but it isn't
[03:59] <RTB|Sock> anybody?
[04:00] <Mattchewie> RTB|Sock, I have neverseen that before
[04:00] <wheels3572> How do I find out what port my router is on
[04:00] <blackice> i cant update my files
[04:00] <crus> wheels3572: for the web interface?
[04:00] <Mattchewie> blackice, if your talking about apt, the us archive is down
[04:00] <wheels3572> crus: yes
[04:01] <blackice> update manger is down
[04:01] <RTB|Sock> yeah
[04:01] <blackice> ?
[04:01] <wheels3572> blackice: us.archives are down
[04:01] <RTB|Sock> any tips
[04:01] <Mattchewie> blackice, kinda, the servers that the update tool checks is down
[04:01] <crus> wheels3572: default would be port 80, the IP depends on what you have set it to.. if you never changed it, the default IP will be in the manual.. or in your default GW settings if its assigning you an IP address based on DHCP
[04:01] <RTB|Sock> like replugging the card back in?
[04:01] <regeya> !tell blackice about mirrors
[04:01] <stiv2k> are the madwifi drivers included in the 6.06 LiveCD?
[04:01] <maddash> is anyone having trouble with the breezy repositories?
[04:02] <regeya> !mirrors
[04:02] <ubotu> Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive
[04:02] <eshed> wow lots of people
[04:02] <maddash> more specifically: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/breezy/Release.gpg
[04:02] <maddash> http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/breezy-updates/Release.gpg
[04:02] <Mattchewie> yes they are down maddash, plz see topoic
[04:02] <Mattchewie> *topic even!!
[04:02] <LinuxN00b> Hmm..didn't work, as it was installing the base system it froze at 6%
[04:02] <maddash> I can't - there's a black square dangling at the top of my screen
[04:03] <regeya> maddash, huh?  move it
[04:03] <blackice> how do i install flashplayer
[04:03] <Mattchewie> LinuxN00b, I think you where gone but ..someone, forgot who...said that you might have HD failure on your hands
[04:03] <eshed> someone here knows about EciADSL modem drivers?
[04:03] <LinuxN00b> i ran a hard drive diagnostic thing and it said it was fine
[04:03] <profoX`> blackice: goto synaptic and enable universe and multiverse repositories, then update the package list and search for flashplugin
[04:03] <maddash> regeya: what could I replace "CC" with?
[04:03] <LinuxN00b> oh, and when i try to run a Live CD it crashes
[04:03] <regeya> !tell maddash about mirrors
[04:04] <maddash> regeya: gracias.
[04:04] <LinuxN00b> and live CDs dont need HDDs
[04:04] <stiv2k> are the madwifi drivers included in the 6.06 LiveCD?
[04:04] <wheels3572> crus: I am sorry I didn't mean port I meant to ask how to find the ip addy of what internal ip it's using lol I am sorry my bad lol
[04:04] <Mattchewie> LinuxN00b, ? did you use the disk utility that comes from your HD's manufacture?
[04:04] <regeya> LinuxN00b: I was merely suggesting that you might have hardware incompatibilities and/or hardware problems.  you could try reiserfs, sure, but if you get it to work AND you have hardware issues, you'll be in for an even more crummy time
[04:05] <crus> wheels3572: has it given you an IP address already via DHCP? If so its probably assigned you the default gateway of its I.P address.
[04:05] <crus> wheels3572: do an ifconfig to find out the default gateway's address. that will be the address of the router if it is infact using DHCP
[04:05] <wheels3572> crus:  ty :)
[04:05] <Mattchewie> LInuxN00b: Ah see I thought you just had issue's when trying to install the distro to your HD.
[04:05] <roostishaw> blackice, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree  then   sudo reconfigure-flashplugin
[04:05] <roostishaw> sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[04:05] <roostishaw> sudo update-flashplugin
[04:05] <LinuxN00b> okay reiser thing didn't work, it stopped at 6%
[04:06] <LinuxN00b> ugh, ive been trying to get this to work for 3 days...
[04:06] <roostishaw> blackice, just:
[04:06] <roostishaw> sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[04:06] <roostishaw> sudo update-flashplugin
[04:06] <Mattchewie> LinuxN00b, so even when you run the live cd is crashes?
[04:06] <regeya> LinuxN00b: I thought you just said the LiveCD wouldn't boot.
[04:06] <regeya> LinuxN00b: how can you try to format the drive as reiserfs if you can't even get the livecd to boot...ergh...my head hurts. :-(
[04:06] <tripppy> is there a repair function with the dapper live/install cd?
[04:07] <TWD> so my little sister's bf and his 2 cronies are over playing halo2 ad my little sister just sits down next to them and watches.
[04:07] <profoX`> tripppy: what do you need to repair
[04:07] <blackice> Building dependency tree... Done
[04:07] <blackice> E: Couldn't find package flashplugin-nonfree
[04:07] <blackice> i got a  error when i did that
[04:07] <tripppy> profoX`: the kernel i think... im getting kernel panic error's
[04:07] <yallax> might aswell ask where all the smart ppl is:)   could anyone suggest a good network monitor for my domain using server 2003/winxp? needs to be automatic and report faults and such
[04:07] <profoX`> tripppy: well, what did you do ?
[04:07] <LinuxN00b> I have to use the alternate, not live-CD install
[04:07] <regeya> is it saturday night?  oh, aye, so it is.
[04:08] <profoX`> blackice: you need the universe/multiverse repo first
[04:08] <profoX`> !repositories
[04:08] <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

[04:08] <blackice> how do i do that
[04:08] <tripppy> profoX`: i turned my ubuntu box off last night. now it boots but with kernel errors, such as
[04:08] <stiv2k> is there any reason why my wifi card seems to be considerably weaker in linux than in windows? this is an atheros card (i believe im using madwifi drivers from the livecd)...im far from the AP, it connects in windows, but wont hold a connection in linux???

[04:09] <profoX`> tripppy: sounds like your HD is messy ? did you shutdown properly?
[04:09] <watson540> Hey guys does anyone have one of those real fancy digital camera's that output raw .cr2 files? it's like a 9 megapixel camera, but I'm trying to figure out what to open them with!
[04:09] <LinuxN00b>  I have to use the alternate, not live-CD to try to install
[04:10] <tripppy> profoX`: no. it froze up so i did a hard shutdown
[04:11] <TheUni> how can i install GRUB to a pen drive?
[04:11] <roostishaw> anyone, what file(s) does a virtual machine use to launch? in other words, what files do i modify so that all users can run a specific VM?
[04:11] <roostishaw> *permissions
[04:12] <profoX`> tripppy: oh.. try booting the live cd and in a terminal window try: "sudo fdisk -l" to know where your linux partition is (like /dev/hda1 for example) and then do: "sudo fsck.ext3 /dev/hda1" and pray that it will recover the filesystem for you, otherwise you might need "stronger" tools
[04:12] <Mattchewie> LinuxN00b, If I was going to "make sure" that it wasn't hardware related,  I would download another small live cd (see zenwalk) and try to run through their installer and such. If it bombs on that too...something tells me you got Hardware issues somewhere
[04:12] <LinuxN00b> brb
[04:13] <tripppy> profoX",  sudo fsck.ext3 /dev/hda1
[04:13] <tripppy> e2fsck 1.38 (30-Jun-2005)
[04:13] <tripppy> /: recovering journal
[04:13] <bcowan> anyone got ndiswrapper working under edgy?
[04:14] <tripppy> profoX`: /: clean, 124573/1210048 files, 812218/2419782 blocks
[04:14] <stiv2k> is there any reason why my wifi card seems to be considerably weaker in linux than in windows? this is an atheros card (i believe im using madwifi drivers from the livecd)...im far from the AP, it connects in windows, but wont hold a connection in linux???
[04:14] <ljlolel_> i'm currently in the live cd, how do i install, say, only the base system?
[04:14] <roostishaw> bcowan, try '/join #ubuntu+1'  :D
[04:15] <profoX`> ljlolel_: i don't think you have that option.. go look for another distribution if you only want a base system, like archlinux
[04:15] <profoX`> maybe the expert install (alternate cd) has that option, i'm not sure
[04:16] <profoX`> tripppy: that sounds good, right?
[04:16] <profoX`> tripppy: is it still busy with checking?
[04:16] <sethk> ljlolel_, live disks are for running live.  Install disks are for installing.  Use an install disk
[04:16] <tripppy> profoX`: hopefully. just going to save those commands you have givin me then ill reboot
[04:17] <sethk> ljlolel_, you'll have obvious options for installing base, default, server, or custom
[04:17] <james__> what exactly does the command 'rmmod ndiswrapper' do?
[04:17] <gregg__> ljlolel_: do a 'server'
[04:17] <profoX`> sethk: in the alternate cd ?
[04:17] <LinuxN00b> arrgghhh! This makes me reeeaalllly mad
[04:17] <gregg__> ljlolel_: do a 'server' install. that'll be a basic system.
[04:17] <profoX`> sethk: because the desktop cd doesn't have that much options afaik
[04:17] <Mattchewie> james_; just removes ndiswrapper module from the kernel
[04:17] <sethk> profoX`, I'm pretty sure that the normal one in expert mode is good enough
[04:17] <profoX`> james__: it removes the kernel module ndiswrapper
[04:18] <profoX`> james__: ndiswrapper is something to run wireless networking cardsusing windows drivers
[04:18] <sethk> profoX`, definitely has the server install, the minimal install, and the expert install modes.
[04:18] <james__> does that mean, in other words, that it disables ndiswrapper?
[04:18] <roostishaw> anyone, what file(s) does a virtual machine use to launch? in other words, what file's permissions do i modify so that all users can run a specific VM?
[04:18] <sethk> profoX`, might need both CDs for the most recent release, though
[04:19] <Mattchewie> james_; sorta, is disables it but if you system is setup to load it on startup...it will load it on next reboot
[04:19] <sethk> roostishaw, depends on which virtual machine is running, obviously
[04:19] <profoX`> sethk: yes the desktop cd isn't that advanced (live cd + live installer)
[04:19] <sethk> roostishaw, the java virtual machine is called java
[04:19] <profoX`> james__: you can blacklist the module if you want in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[04:19] <roostishaw> sethk, i mean a vmware vm
[04:19] <sethk> profoX`, for the release I'm running, ot
[04:20] <sethk> profoX`, true; that's why I said before that a live cd is not the way to do installs
[04:20] <sethk> can't type today
[04:21] <_marshall> hows everyone doing?
[04:21] <james__> the reason i am asking is that i tried ALL kinds of stuff to get my broadcom wireless card to work... and seemingly nothing worked... and then finally, for like the third time, i installed the windows driver in ndiswrapper and it started working. now the wireless card works, but every time i boot up, i have to enter 'rmmod ndiswrapper' for the card to function
[04:21] <damo22> ok i have a .dsc file and a patched source tree how do i create a .deb
[04:21] <profoX`> sethk: it's nice, it only takes many ram and unnecessary boot-up time... but they could add options to the live installer if they wanted.. but i suppose they think people who use the live installer are only people who want to use the system as a desktop, thats why it's not so advanced
[04:21] <stiv2k> is there any reason why my wifi card seems to be considerably weaker in linux than in windows? this is an atheros card (i believe im using madwifi drivers from the livecd)...im far from the AP, it connects in windows, but wont hold a connection in linux???
[04:22] <wheels3572> !traceroute > wheels3572
[04:22] <ubotu> I know nothing about traceroute  - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[04:22] <wheels3572> can anyone tell me how to do a traceroute via cli ?
[04:22] <james__> it does not make sense that it started working after i installed the windows driver in ndiswrapper, but then i have to disable ndiswrapper for it to function......
[04:22] <dmsantam> wheels3572, man traceroute
[04:22] <damo22> stiv2k: sudo iwconfig ath0 txpow 99
[04:22] <sethk> profoX`, yes, I think you are correct about what they are thinking
[04:22] <dmsantam> wheels3572, if its not there, apt-get install traceroute
[04:22] <stiv2k> damo22: thats it?
[04:22] <LinuxN00b> any other ideas bout my problem?
[04:23] <damo22> i believe so
[04:23] <stiv2k> damo22: hah, that's rather simple...someone else told me to try iwpriv but i couldn't make any sense out of it when i ran it
[04:23] <damo22> :)
[04:23] <sethk> LinuxN00b, I don't see you asking about a problem.
[04:23] <LinuxN00b>  I have to use the alternate, not live-CD install
[04:23] <LinuxN00b> oops wait
[04:23] <jontec_> I'm having a problem. I am bridging two ethernet connection with bridge-utils, but once I bridge them, this computer can't connect to the internet, all the others can.
[04:23] <stiv2k> damo22: ok ill try it and let ya know if it works, brb rebooting
[04:23] <sethk> LinuxN00b, that's not a problem
[04:23] <wheels3572> dmsantam: ty :)
[04:24] <damo22> stiv2k, no need to reboot
[04:24] <damo22> its linux dude
[04:24] <sethk> jontec, the machine acting as a bridge can't reach the 'net, you mean?
[04:24] <LinuxN00b>  Everytime i run the kubuntu/ubuntu install it crashes while setting up the file system
[04:24] <sethk> LinuxN00b, what message do you see, if any?
[04:25] <zazeem> help, need help getting into my other hard drive that has all my windows stuff and videos on it.
[04:25] <damo22> stiv2k actually if u reboot, you'll lose the maxpower custom setting
[04:25] <LinuxN00b> it just locks up at a random percent
[04:25] <_marshall> LinuxN00b: did you run a cd verification thing before trying to install?
[04:25] <jontec_> yes
[04:25] <LinuxN00b> and i have to use the alternate install
[04:25] <LinuxN00b> yeah
[04:25] <sethk> LinuxN00b, possibly you need to disable IDE DMA for the install
[04:25] <sethk> LinuxN00b, what's wrong with using the alternate?
[04:26] <jbrimble> I'm having problems connecting Ubuntu to my Networked Windows Printer (HP Photosmart)
[04:26] <Vilkacis> I would like to enable an HTML server on my Ubuntu box. What do I install in synaptic, where do I put the files and what ports do I need to open up and direct at the box?
[04:26] <LinuxN00b> same thing
[04:26] <profoX`> damo22: how will that help in keeping a connection up when you are far away from the AP?
[04:26] <Vilkacis> Just a simple HTML server.
[04:26] <paul_> hello all
[04:26] <jontec_> sethk: yes
[04:26] <grte> Hey, does anybody have any idea how I can get the volume control in ncmpc to actually affect the volume?
[04:26] <damo22> how do i create a .deb file from an official .orig.tar.gz + .diff.gz + .dsc
[04:26] <LinuxN00b> i cant run any Live CDs under like...75 Megs for some reason
[04:26] <grte> I'm guessing it's trying to use the wrong soundcard, but I don't know how to change that.
[04:26] <nomasteryoda> LinuxN00b, you should parition the drive first with the gparted in ubuntu before starting the install
[04:26] <sethk> jontec, I would check to make sure your default route is still pointing at your internet gateway
[04:26] <Amaranth> damo22: pbuilder is good for that
[04:26] <Amaranth> damo22: although i doubt you want something like that for just one package
[04:26] <phargle> could someone tell me what package iftop is in?  I try apt-get install iftop and it says it cant find it
[04:26] <Qwell> Sorry canadians, I'm borrowing your archive server for a while :p
[04:27] <Mattchewie> hha
[04:27] <Mattchewie> hahah
[04:27] <nomasteryoda> LinuxN00b, you will also need to reboot then start the install ... from my esperience
[04:27] <grte> phargle: If you're using the US repos, they're down right now.
[04:27] <LinuxN00b> wait, so what do i do?
[04:27] <jontec_> sethk: I don't know what it was before. I think I know how to get to it though... is is in Network Settings panel?
[04:27] <paul_> can anyone help me with a problem.. my display should be 1440 X 900 resolution , but every time I change to that display setting as root or not, it reverts back to my bad resolution setting...
[04:27] <damo22> grte: yes in mpd.conf you need to change the mixer device to PCM or Master or something
[04:27] <Vilkacis> HTML server, what package?
[04:27] <Qwell> crap...
[04:27] <grte> damo22: Thanks.
[04:27] <Amaranth> damo22: dpkg-source -x file.dsc
[04:27] <phargle> grte: ah that might be my problem, thanks
[04:27] <Qwell> The specified Ubuntu archive mirror is either not available, or does not have a valid Release file on it. Please try a different mirror.
[04:27] <grte> phargle: Also, if you ever need to find a package, try apt-cache search <search term>
[04:27] <Amaranth> damo22: then cd into the dir it creates and run dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc
[04:27] <paul_> can I save my settings for kde then reboot to have the display 1440 X 900 stick?
[04:27] <grte> It helps a tonne.
[04:27] <LinuxN00b> sooo what do i do?
[04:28] <profoX`> damo22: how will that help in keeping a connection up when you are far away from the AP? the txpower setting
[04:28] <Amaranth> damo22: you need to have the packages for dpkg-source, dpkg-buildpackage, and fakeroot installed for this to work
[04:28] <Qwell> That was when using ca.releases.ubuntu.com
[04:28] <nomasteryoda> LinuxN00b, scroll back to see what i said dude
[04:28] <nomasteryoda> LinuxN00b, you should parition the drive first with the gparted in ubuntu before starting the install
[04:28] <damo22> thanks amaranth
[04:28] <jbrimble> Where's the xstartup file?
[04:28] <nomasteryoda> LinuxN00b, you will also need to reboot then start the install ... from my esperience
[04:28] <LinuxN00b> i reboot around 50 times by now
[04:28] <Vilkacis> How do I make Ubuntu serve as a web server?
[04:29] <LinuxN00b> every time it just does the same thing
[04:29] <sethk> jontec, I do it on the command line.  I think the network-admin program is how to do it in the desktop
[04:29] <grte> damo22: I don't have an entry in the mpd.conf file for a mixer, do you know what line I should enter?
[04:29] <sethk> jontec, network-admin is run by the settings program, but you can also run it yourself (with sudo) from a command line
[04:29] <fnord123> Vilkacis: run a web server. apache and lighttp are popular ones
[04:30] <sethk> jontec, there is a pull down box on the first tab for setting the default destination interface
[04:30] <LinuxN00b> wait are you saying i should partition everything using a different program?
[04:30] <profoX`> damo22: how will that help in keeping a connection up when you are far away from the AP? the txpower setting
[04:30] <jontec_> sethk: okay, sorry I'm using kubuntu so maybe command line will be better
[04:31] <Vilkacis> fnord123: How do I initilize/configure it? What do I need to install? Do I need to open any ports, so my router knows where to look when someone requests a page?
[04:31] <james__> is it possible that the windows driver i installed in ndiswrapper is doing something, even after i run 'rmmod ndiswrapper'?
[04:31] <Fieldy> hi
[04:31] <nomasteryoda> LinuxN00b, the gparted is on Ubuntu cd ... run from the live disk, setup partitons, then reboot
[04:31] <jbrimble> where can I read about Printing from XP?
[04:31] <profoX`> james__: check dmesg
[04:31] <Qwell> okay, so...what information should I be putting in to the archive mirror selection?
[04:31] <nomasteryoda> lol
[04:31] <Qwell> I'm doing "Enter information manually", because choosing canada didn't work
[04:31] <shriphani> how do i  esize a primary partition ?
[04:31] <nomasteryoda> jbrimble, i assume you mean samba printing
[04:31] <jontec_> sethk: what's are the commands for the prompt?
[04:31] <sethk> james__, yes, it's possible.  rmmod will not remove a module if the kernel believes that something that depends on it is running
[04:31] <nomasteryoda> !samba > jbrimble
[04:31] <LinuxN00b> i cant run the Live CD though
[04:32] <sethk> jontec, route add default gateway ###.###.###.###   where obviously ###.###.###.### is the IP address of the gateway
[04:32] <nomasteryoda> LinuxN00b, why not? did you not get it running only to have the install fail?
[04:32] <nomasteryoda> you said so
[04:32] <grte> Does anybody know the line that should be added to MPDs configuration file to change the mixer?
[04:32] <fnord123> Vilkacis: there are great instructions to be found using google. it's a bit more complicated than can be handled on a high traffic channel like this. but now you have some words to jam into google: "apache" and "ubuntu"
[04:32] <sethk> jontec, first, though,run route (no arguments) to see if there is a default route that needs to be deleted.
[04:32] <jontec_> should I do that while I have my bridge up?
[04:32] <sethk> jontec, a default route has a destination address of 0.0.0.0
[04:32] <shriphani> linuxboy, put the cd in while dapper is running apt cdrom add the sudo apt-get install gparted
[04:32] <LinuxN00b> i have to use the alternate CD to install without running the live CD
[04:33] <Zenethian> Hello.  How do I generate locale data for en_US.ISO-8859-1?  It only generates UTF8.  :(
[04:33] <Vilkacis> fnord123: Indeed. I am already installing apache2 in Synaptic, as well as documentation for it. I'll just have to find where it puts those and figure it out from there. If it's more complicated then this channel I'll refer to the documentation. Thanks for the help. :)
[04:33] <sethk> jontec, yes, if you do it before, it will be wiped out again, assuming that this is what's going on (which is likely but not sure yet)
[04:33] <paul_> when I change my display setting to 1440 X 900  it wont stay the next time I reboot anyone help?
[04:33] <jontec_> okay, thanks.
[04:33] <jontec_> I'll put this in a note to keep it.
[04:33] <fnord123> #apache is also full of helpful people
[04:33] <james__> sethk: i see, it is all very confusing, lol. i tried so many different approaches to get this card working, that now i don't know which approach i attempted is actually causing it to function
[04:33] <zazeem> help, need help getting into my other hard drive that has all my windows stuff and videos on it.
[04:33] <Vilkacis> fnord123: Oooh, great idea.
[04:33] <sethk> james__, that, of course, I can't help you with  :)
[04:34] <zazeem> help, need help getting into my other hard drive that has all my windows stuff and videos on it. it is already in and i see it on my computer but i cant get into it
[04:34] <sethk> james__, not knowing what you did or more details
[04:34] <fnord123> iirc, it might be sudo /etc/apache2/init.d start or something along those lines
[04:34] <sethk> zazeem, you need to mount the windows partition (or partitions)
[04:34] <james__> sethk: that is fine, i just wanted the answer you gave me a bit ago
[04:34] <grte> Well, I don't know precisely.
[04:34] <james__> i have another ussue, however....   recently i was trying to watch a video stream and mplayer would not play it (sometimes i hate mplayer), and in trying to get that stream to work, i installed the xine firefox plugin... after that, the stream would play using xine, BUT ever since then, all of the video that i play on this computer is ridiculously bright, and nothing i have tried corrects that. any suggestions?
[04:35] <LinuxN00b> again, the live cd wont boot, so i need to use the alternate CD and not use the live cd
[04:35] <james__> issue*
[04:35] <profoX`> james__: you probably have acx and ndiswrapper loaded at the same time now, and unloading ndiswrapper causes acx to work, you can blacklist ndiswrapper so it doesnt start up anymore: add it to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[04:35] <profoX`> james__: lsmod|grep acx
[04:35] <james__> profoX`: ok
[04:35] <nomasteryoda> LinuxN00b, download the gparted CD and boot it ... setup paritions then reboot and install your Ubuntu
[04:35] <profoX`> james__: to see if acx is running, also see "dmesg" that command.. it will tell you about ndiswrapper and acx
[04:36] <LinuxN00b> okay
[04:36] <nomasteryoda> look on distrowatch for the links
[04:36] <sethk> james__, on the brightness problem, I think I would try backing up your xorg.conf file and doing dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver
[04:36] <sethk> james__, note carefully the BACKING UP part, first.
[04:36] <zazeem> sethk: how do i do that?
[04:36] <profoX`> i'm off..bye
[04:37] <james__> lsmod|grep acx gives me nothing
[04:37] <nomasteryoda> !ntfs > zazeem
[04:38] <`DaGuy> anybody else having trouble connecting to yahoo IM?
[04:38] <james__> sethk: if i uninstall xine, will the brightness issue go away? or will that remain even if xine is gone?
[04:38] <nomasteryoda> nope
[04:38] <sethk> zazeem, if the windows partitions were present when you installed linux, then /etc/fstab should contain entries for them.  If this is true, you can mount the with a simple command.  If not it is a bit more difficult but still not a problem.
[04:38] <nomasteryoda> working fine with gaim
[04:38] <james__> `DaGuy: yes, gaim will not connect to yahoo for me tonight
[04:38] <phargle> grte: i had to edit my sources.list and uncomment the universe lines the apt-get update
[04:38] <phargle> *then
[04:38] <profoX`> james__: strange, you did have an acx card right? anyway.. it works.. be happy.. :) i have to go now.. if you want to know the details of why it works, do some research in "dmesg" or ask someone who knows, i'll be back tomorrow...
[04:38] <`DaGuy> james - thanx ... me either?
[04:39] <sethk> james__, I really don't know.  If I had to guess I would guess that uninstalling xine won't fix it.  But try it; I'm not at all sure.
[04:39] <phargle> and now i can apt-get install iftop just swimingly
[04:39] <grte> phargle: Cool.  They may have come back and just needed to be updated.

[04:54] <sethk> zazeem, I'm here, but I didn't receive anything
[04:54] <LinuxN00b> how do i do that
[04:54] <LinuxN00b> ?
[04:54] <zazeem> hmm
[04:54] <Paladine> CokeNCode, there is no "Just in case" bittorrent definitely resumes
[04:54] <damo22> running wmii with sic will be l33ter when i figure out my problems with dpkg
[04:54] <jjohn> hi all
[04:54] <zazeem> sethk:
[04:54] <zazeem> sethk:zazeem@zazilla:~$ sudo mount /dev/hdd1
 mount: special device /dev/hdd1 does not exist
[04:54] <ChakRa> i just inalled dreamweaver using cross office runs so smooth, makes me wana cry ~__~
[04:54] <zazeem> sethk: thats eror
[04:54] <h6w> Hello, how do I make all my local users be samba users?
[04:54] <Flav> How can i change the status of a bug on launchpad?
[04:55] <sethk> LinuxN00b, the help shows it for breezy
[04:55] <LinuxN00b> okay
[04:55] <sethk> LinuxN00b, the help at the boot prompt
[04:55] <LinuxN00b> okay brb
[04:55] <jjohn> can anyone tell me how to disable this script:       echo 'blacklist bcm43xx' | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[04:55] <sethk> zazeem, it is saying that hdd1 does not exist.  possibly hdd does not exist.  hdd would be the secondary slave, so it would be odd for it to exist although certainly not impossible
[04:56] <Qwell> okay, I simply can't get a netbooted image to pick an archive mirror
[04:56] <Riyonuk> I cant get dial-up to work still, I read the guide, but it keps saying Fatal: ltmodem/ltserial not found
[04:56] <Qwell> I tell it archive.ubuntu.com, then /ubuntu/dists/dapper/
[04:56] <zazeem> sethk: well what should it be then? that makes no sense since linux is on hdc
[04:57] <Qwell> tells me there is no (or no valid) Release file
[04:57] <zazeem> sethk: well what should it be then? my other hard drive should be slave, i just use it to store files when i was on wonxp
[04:57] <CokeNCode> brb .... wish me luck
[04:57] <zazeem> sethk: in computer it shows an icon called hdd1
[04:58] <crxyem> so I'm trying to set up a cron job to mail me when it's finished , but out of the box , the mail command in ubuntu is not present, what is one to do
[04:58] <Riyonuk> anyone?
[04:59] <eternalswd> how can I change the mixer icon?
[04:59] <Qwell> That file definitely exists on that mirror, in that location...
[04:59] <swim> how can I tell what I can remove according to deborphan?
[04:59] <jjohn> anyone know???
[04:59] <trippy> oh no! profoX" was helping me.. is he going to be back soon?
[04:59] <maparus> does gnome have something like kshutdown?
[04:59] <LinuxN00b> okay, disable dma is nowhere to be seen in the help thing in breezy
[04:59] <sethk> zazeem, hdc and hdd are perfectly possible
[05:00] <zazeem> sethk: how do i mount hdd then?
[05:00] <sethk> LinuxN00b, yes it is.  You have to look for special boot parameters, or some such wording
[05:00] <zazeem> sethk: is it just more complicated?
[05:00] <sethk> zazeem, if there isn't an hdd, you can't.
[05:00] <zazeem> sethk: there is a hdd
[05:00] <zazeem> sethk: i am looking at the icon
[05:00] <jontec_> sethk: I see you're busy, but I posted my information in the pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18666
[05:00] <sethk> zazeem, all the icon proves is that at one point the kernel thought that there was an hdd
[05:01] <trippy> how do i repair/recover root partition? hda1?
[05:01] <TheJackofClubs> um
[05:01] <TheJackofClubs> wow
[05:01] <zazeem> sethk: how do i find out what it is then? what hd name so i can mount?
[05:01] <sethk> zazeem, is it possible that at one point is was connected as hdd but now it is connected differently?
[05:01] <edu> hi
[05:01] <waikitz> hey guys,does anyone know which software can convert video to xvid format???
[05:01] <sethk> zazeem, you can look in /system/bus/ide
[05:01] <zazeem> sethk: unlikely i havnt touched anything
[05:01] <sethk> zazeem, ok
[05:01] <edu> I'm having a little, but annoying, problem with konqueror... it's a perm issue
[05:01] <sethk> zazeem, try this:    sudo fdisk -l /dev/hdd

[05:02] <_Spire_> edu: ok
[05:02] <sethk> zazeem, that will print the hdd partition information, assuming that the machine thinks that hdd exists.
[05:02] <LinuxN00b> sorry, but ive scanned the help thing up and down, no dma
[05:02] <three> vive will convert to xvid

[05:02] <TheJackofClubs> oh
[05:02] <sethk> LinuxN00b, unfortunately I can't reboot to help you find it.  there is an option, something like hda=nodma
[05:02] <TheJackofClubs> thanks
[05:03] <jjohn> looking for help to cancel this script <  echo 'blacklist bcm43xx' | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[05:03] <jjohn> >
[05:03] <LinuxN00b> okay
[05:03] <_Spire_> TheJackofClubs: try the uk or ca repositories
[05:03] <sethk> LinuxN00b, if you read all the help screens you will find it.
[05:03] <TheJackofClubs> are the locales different?
[05:03] <sethk> jjohn, what do you mean by "cancel" it?
[05:03] <sethk> zazeem, use the paste bot in the channel topic
[05:03] <zazeem> sethk: k
[05:03] <edu> _Spire_: ok, it's simple... only the root can modify konqueror preferences, and the changes he makes are not available for the other users...
[05:03] <jjohn> Sethk I wrote it and now want to do something with BCM$#xx
[05:04] <sethk> jontec, I see a default route to 192.168.0.1.  Is that the correct gateway?
[05:04] <three> does anyone know much about gdesklets
[05:04] <sethk> jjohn, if it is in a terminal, control-c it.  If not, you'll have to use the kill command
[05:04] <jontec> sethk: I think that was what was in my settings panel when I looked
[05:04] <_Spire_> edu: I'm not sure I can answer that question :( - 1. I'm not on KDE right now 2. I'm not a KDE/Konqui export
[05:04] <_Spire_> *expert
[05:05] <jontec> sethk: it's a windows native network that I'm trying to get to work
[05:05] <edu> _Spire_: ok, thanks
[05:05] <jjohn> Sethk is there a link to explain?
[05:05] <edu> I'm having a little, but annoying, problem with konqueror... it's a perm issue
[05:05] <`DaGuy> i think CA servers may be down also
[05:05] <sethk> jontec, there is no way for me to know whether 192.168.0.1 is your gateway address.  It's a common address, and I know of a couple of wireless access points that default to that address.
[05:06] <sethk> jjohn, there probably is but I don't know one off the top of my head.
[05:06] <waikitz> !kino
[05:06] <ubotu> I know nothing about kino - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[05:06] <sethk> jjohn, you can do:   ps auxw | grep tee
[05:06] <jontec> sethk: okay, can you see anything that I may have done wrong? when I go to setup my bridge what should I configure with route, and what shouldn't I mess with?
[05:06] <sethk> jjohn, from that you take the process ID of tee, and then you use kill to kill it   (kill ####    #### being the process ID)
[05:07] <zazeem> sethk: heres the pastebin http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18667
[05:07] <jjohn> Sethk thank you
[05:07] <sethk> jontec, after the bridge config, try:   route add default gateway 192.168.0.1
[05:07] <zazeem> sethk: ill be back in 5 minutes thnx for help, will continue then i hope
[05:07] <jjohn> I will try and see what turns blue
[05:07] <sethk> zazeem, that is a corrupted partition table.
[05:08] <zazeem> sethk: what des that mean
[05:08] <sethk> zazeem, are you sure the drives are connected correctly?
[05:08] <zazeem> sethk: how do i check
[05:08] <jontec> sethk: should I specify it for each interface?
[05:08] <sethk> zazeem, that means that it doesn't find a valid partition table where it expects to find one, in the first disk sector
[05:08] <jontec> sethk: or will it set it for both or does it not matter?
[05:08] <sethk> jontec, no, only once
[05:08] <zazeem> sethk: check ide cables?
[05:09] <sethk> jontec, it will use the interface that can speak to 192.168.0.x
[05:09] <sethk> zazeem, yes, and jumpering.  make sure that if you have an EIDE cable (which you almost certainly do) both drives are jumpered for cable select
[05:09] <`DaGuy> sethk 192.168.0.1 is my wlan address 192.168.2.1 is gateway -- if that help any
[05:09] <sethk> zazeem, an EIDE cable has one blue, one black, and one grey connector.
[05:09] <zazeem> sethk: yes i have that
[05:10] <Ackeubu_> hey guys, I think enlightment has version .16 by default. can i use apt-get to install e.17?
[05:10] <jontec> sethk: okay, I will try that
[05:10] <zazeem> sethk: i took a jumper out of my extra hd to make my primary one boot a few day ago
[05:10] <wheels3572> How do i know if the printer I have will work with Ubuntu?
[05:10] <sethk> `DaGuy, if you want to reach the 'net via a wireless NIC, use 192.168.0.1.  If it is cabled, use 192.168.2.1
[05:10] <goatmale> wheels, test it
[05:10] <Flav> anyone successfully used apt-build before and could point me as to why i can't build php4? :)
[05:10] <sethk> zazeem, that sounds suspicious.  Make sure both are jumpered as cable select.  I've seen exactly this behavior when jumpers are not correct.
[05:11] <sethk> zazeem, can't be sure this is your problem, but it may be, so fix it then we'll go from there.
[05:11] <zazeem> sethk: i dont really know how to jumper correctly but ill try
[05:11] <wheels3572> goatmale: ok but I have no idea where to start lol Newbie here lol
[05:11] <goatmale> there should be instructions on the harddrive
[05:11] <wheels3572> ok
[05:11] <goatmale> slave, master, and cable select
[05:11] <zazeem> sethk: i dont really know how to jumper correctly but ill try, ill be back soon to try
[05:11] <goatmale> not you wheels

[05:21] <cpk2> you guys know if there are any voip servers equivelent to teamspeak or ventrilo on apt-get?
[05:21] <scipio_africanus> yahoo has been down for about 8 hours now. for everyone :)
[05:21] <Riyo> gah stupid dial-up
[05:21] <showme> hey man~~
[05:21] <`DaGuy> re yahoo .. thx
[05:21] <sethk> jontec, I don't see the word "it" in the last three lines I sent to you.
[05:21] <goatmale> cpk2 skype :X
[05:21] <Awesome-o2000> nope
[05:22] <Awesome-o2000> sigh
[05:22] <jontec> sethk: traceroute command is not found
[05:22] <cpk2> scipio_africanus: yahoo has been working for me, just loads very slow
[05:22] <AAA> jontec  apt-get install mtr && mtr <ip address>
[05:22] <CokeNCode> ok, i plugged in the tvcard ... but no dice
[05:22] <Shak-> im trying to compile mplayer, but it says "X11 support required for GUI compilation" anyone know what package that is?
[05:22] <CokeNCode> i installed tvtime
[05:22] <CokeNCode> it won't let me change channels are anything
[05:22] <ardchoille> How do I run Firefox without the flash plugin? There are some sites where the flash is just annoying and running ff without flash is better.
[05:22] <scipio_africanus> cpk2: oh really? with gaim?
[05:22] <CokeNCode> any suggestions ?
[05:23] <goatmale> shak us syanptic
[05:23] <cpk2> Shak-: you know you can apt-get it?
[05:23] <AAA> Shak-  you need the x-org-dev or whatever it is called, the dev files for xorg
[05:23] <ringard> how do i add a printer in ubuntu from the commandline?
[05:23] <goatmale> use**
[05:23] <jontec> sethk: okay, and I meant in your post "you can do this to see if it is reachable", did you mean eth2 or something else?
[05:23] <Shak-> cpk2: apt-get mplayer? theres only a kmplayer
[05:23] <ardchoille> !info mplayer
[05:23] <ubotu> mplayer: The Ultimate Movie Player For Linux. In repository multiverse, is extra. Version 2:0.99+1.0pre7try2+cvs20060117-0ubuntu8 (dapper), package size 3265 kB, installed size 7916 kB
[05:23] <Shak-> apt-get mplayer? :s
[05:23] <ardchoille> Shak-: mplayer is in multiverse
[05:23] <sethk> jontec, I meant the gateway
[05:23] <AAA> Shak-  do you have universe in your sources.list?
[05:23] <goatmale> shak why don't you use syantic?
[05:24] <Shak-> i've got multiverse enabled, I didnt see the package
[05:24] <sethk> jontec, I see traceroute in iputils-tracepath and...
[05:24] <danf_1979> Hi
[05:24] <CokeNCode> ok, brb ... ponder that question ... i gotta reinstall this dvd burner ... somehow it was set as 'master'
[05:24] <Vilkacis> Very simple: Copy a full directory path to a new directory, including all sub-directories.
[05:24] <AAA> sethk  mtr is so much better than traceroute
[05:24] <sethk> jontec, I see traceroute in a package called traceroute
[05:24] <goatmale> hey shak have you heard of automatix?
[05:24] <goatmale> !automatix
[05:24] <Shak-> wait, which line do I have to uncomment to enable multiverse?
[05:24] <AAA> mtr == my traceroute
[05:24] <ubotu> Automatix is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. For help with and discussion of automatix please join #automatix.
[05:24] <Shak-> goatmale: nope
[05:24] <jontec> sethk: okay, one second and I'll see if it's installed
[05:25] <andrew> Hey does anyone know how to get the package back up.
[05:25] <goatmale> ! automatix >shak-
[05:25] <sethk> AAA, this is simple so I think either will work here.  for more complicated situations I would not disagree
[05:25] <cpk2> Shak-: the one that has multiverse
[05:25] <goatmale> did I do that right?
[05:25] <danf_1979> I need some documentation about the possible letters you can find when searching packages with apt-get/aptitude. For example, in
[05:25] <danf_1979> p   python-gobject-dev                                             - GObject bindings: devel files
[05:25] <danf_1979> i   python2.4-gobject                                              - Python bindings for the GObject
[05:25] <cpk2> !easysource
[05:25] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[05:25] <cpk2> Shak-: you can use that link to get a repo list
[05:25] <elmago55> hi
[05:25] <danf_1979> Is there any place where I can find the meanings of those letters?
[05:25] <Shak-> goatmale: ok, but i'd rather use apt-get, if I can find the package that is
[05:25] <danf_1979> I need a comprehensive list
[05:25] <LinuxN00b> screw computers
[05:26] <goatmale> haha shak why the hard way?
[05:26] <Shak-> goatmale: apt-get isnt hard?
[05:26] <sethk> danf_1979, man aptitude
[05:26] <Riyo> so how do I get my dial-up connection to work? I keep getting FATAL: ltmodem not found
[05:26] <goatmale> I think gui is easier..
[05:26] <Shak-> all the lines in /etc/apt/sources.list are uncommented :/
[05:27] <fivre> Riyo: is your modem inside your computer?
[05:27] <jontec> sethk: okay, I have it. both the mtr and traceroute packages
[05:27] <eternalswd> check out http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ for mplayer debs
[05:27] <Qwell> weird...if I used dhcp, it couldn't hit a mirror.  but as soon as I switched to manual config, it went right through
[05:27] <cpk2> goatmale: use synaptic then if you want a gui...
[05:27] <fivre> Riyo: if it is, do you have drivers for it?
[05:27] <cpk2> Shak-: do you see multiverse in any of the lines?
[05:27] <Riyo> yes
[05:27] <sethk> jontec, ok, try it.   traceroute <gateway-ip-address>
[05:27] <andrew> Is the pakage manager going to up soon?
[05:27] <Riyo> umm for windows
[05:27] <Shak-> cpk2: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-backports main restricted universe multiverse
[05:27] <Riyo> Im new to linx
[05:27] <danf_1979> thanks, I found it sethk
[05:28] <Riyo> *linux
[05:28] <jontec> sethk: okay, I got it... it gives me information...
[05:28] <elmago55> there something like a bug in ppc
[05:28] <crxyem> anyone wanna help ,, what doesn't the command #mail -s   work ??
[05:28] <jontec> sethk: 1  100208ts.mshome.net (192.168.0.1)  0.410 ms  0.283 ms  0.224 ms
[05:28] <fivre> Riyo: your modem doesn't natively support linux
[05:28] <`DaGuy> sethk ..  jontec  - for my edification, what is the wireless adapter you are working with
[05:28] <cpk2> Shak-: thats backports
[05:28] <cpk2> Shak-: you probably dont want backports on
[05:28] <Riyo> :(
[05:28] <bensr20det> what is the best way to install java?
[05:28] <goatmale> use ndiswrapper and ndisgtk
[05:28] <fivre> Riyo: you may want to search the forums for anything about "linmodem"
[05:29] <jontec> 'DaGuy: I'm using two wired adapters... eth0 and eth2
[05:29] <Shak-> cpk2: oh, does backports inhibit multiverse?
[05:29] <cpk2> bensr20det: sudo apt-get install sun-java5-bin
[05:29] <`DaGuy> thx
[05:29] <elmago55> IDLG.omg.org/CORBA/CMM_FAILURE:1.0
[05:29] <sethk> jontec,  ok, then if you have a default route to 192.168.0.1, it should get to the net.  Try pinging something on the net by ip address.  You may have a name resolution issue rather than a routing issue.  If so, you'll be able to ping by ip but not by name.
[05:29] <fivre> Riyo: unfortunately, I don't know any more, I have an external modem now :|
[05:29] <elmago55> whats means?
[05:29] <cpk2> Shak-: backports is a different repo than the main one
[05:29] <bensr20det> cpk2: thanks
[05:29] <cpk2> Shak-: i reccomend you go to the easy source link
[05:29] <cpk2> !easysource
[05:29] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[05:29] <elmago55>  IDLG.omg.org/CORBA/CMM_FAILURE:1.0   whats means?
[05:29] <Riyo> external modem?
[05:29] <Shak-> cpk2: k
[05:29] <fivre> cpk2: isn't jre better to install than just bin?
[05:29] <Riyo> well mines kinda external
[05:29] <jontec> sethk: is the command for pin on linux just     ping <ip address>?
[05:30] <sethk> jontec, for example try pinging 216.109.112.135
[05:30] <cpk2> fivre: it should install jre at the same time
[05:30] <Riyo> the part where you put the line is outside
[05:30] <Riyo> but most is inside
[05:30] <sethk> jontec, right   ping <ip-address>    there are options but you won't need them here
[05:30] <andrew> When will the package manager be back?
[05:30] <elmago55> can you tell me the answer
[05:30] <elmago55>  IDLG.omg.org/CORBA/CMM_FAILURE:1.0 whats means=
[05:30] <sethk> jontec   216.109.112.135  is one of the yahoo.com IPs.
[05:30] <goatmale> try google elmago
[05:30] <jontec> sethk: I did this but it wasn't while the bridge was running...
[05:30] <elmago55> i tried
[05:30] <sethk> jontec, sorry, that IP isn't pingable
[05:31] <elmago55> but...
[05:31] <sethk> jontec, use this one:   66.94.234.13
[05:31] <sethk> jontec, I checked, and it is pingable.
[05:31] <fivre> Riyo: some modems are external/connected via serial ports. They don't need drivers.
[05:31] <Riyo> umm how would I go about installing a driver for linux?
[05:31] <sethk> jontec, start the bridge, then add the default route, and see if you can reach the 'net.
[05:31] <andrew> Can someonw please tell me when the packagemanager will be back?
[05:31] <elmago55> alguien habla espaol?
[05:31] <IcemanV9> is there a way to speed up the win32 version of firefox [runs with wine]  with a website runs in full of flash stuff?!?
[05:31] <cpk2> andrew: use a mirror
[05:32] <cpk2> !spanish
[05:32] <Riyo> hmm I want one, lol
[05:32] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[05:32] <andrew> What mirror
[05:32] <jontec> sethk: okay. one sec... it will most likely kill Konversation or at least disconnect me...
[05:32] <Qwell> !sparc
[05:32] <fivre> Riyo: search for "linmodem" on Google, you might be able to find a compatible linux driver
[05:32] <ubotu> Have a look here for Docs http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/install/sparc/ KnownIssues and TODO are on the wiki.
[05:32] <Qwell> :D
[05:32] <Riyo> so its like a usb? so its supported by everything
[05:32] <cpk2> andrew: open your sources.list file and delete us. from any of the entries
[05:32] <`DaGuy> andrew ... for myself I don't know .. it has been troublesome all day long
[05:32] <Qwell> That wiki should be updated, heh
[05:33] <fivre> Riyo: it's rather complex... Internal modems generally utilize the CPU for some tasks, external ones have their own dedicated CPU.
[05:34] <TheJackofClubs> good bye and thanks for all the fish
[05:34] <fivre> Riyo: they're more costly though, but you can find cheap externals for around $20 if you can't find anything at http://www.linmodems.org
[05:35] <CokeNCode> ok, the dvd burner is working .. but the tv card is giving me hell
[05:35] <Qwell> If I see 2 disks, I need to do software raid, right?
[05:35] <CokeNCode> can anyone run me thru the steps involved in installing a tv card
[05:35] <Riyo> alright im looking for a driver there
[05:35] <Shak-> cpk2: thanks, I see mplayer now :)
[05:36] <Riyo> I hope its there :p
[05:36] <cpk2> Shak-: no problem, you should also probably comment out the backports entries, you shouldnt be needing those
[05:36] <Shak-> yep I did
[05:37] <cara> hi
[05:37] <cara> how is everyone?
[05:38] <scipio_africanus> hi
[05:38] <cara> heyy
[05:38] <som1> is there a list of supported hardware? the only list i found is very small..
[05:38] <cara> lol how old is everyone in here?
[05:39] <Riyo> im 15
[05:39] <cara> cool
[05:39] <cara> were ya from?

[05:39] <cara> lol i donno i was just wondering
[05:39] <cara> lol
[05:40] <fivre> supported hardware: any graphics card made before year 2000 :|
[05:40] <KyleHunt> This is kind of a stupid question, but is there any way to make a terminal pop up with a message in it on someone on my local network's computer?
[05:40] <goatmale> !offtopic
[05:40] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[05:40] <Riyo> texas
[05:40] <KyleHunt> oh, mine was offtopic too
[05:40] <goatmale> not really kyle
[05:40] <KyleHunt> ah, ok
[05:40] <goatmale> i just can't help you.
[05:41] <cara> what is this thing used for?
[05:41] <KyleHunt> ok. well thanks anyway :D
[05:41] <cara> do you all work on computers?
[05:41] <fivre> it could probably be done with a bit of scripting...
[05:41] <zazeem> sethk: i checked it and it just doesnt work when thy are both on cable select
[05:41] <goatmale> what do you mean cara?
[05:42] <zazeem> sethk: my comp doesnt find any hds when i did that
[05:42] <cara> like what are you all talking about
[05:42] <cara> what is scripting?
[05:42] <goatmale> !Scripting
[05:42] <ubotu> I know nothing about Scripting - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu

[05:42] <cara> yeah
[05:42] <wheels3572> Cara:  Scripting is programing
[05:42] <Riyo> for an operatin system
[05:42] <Riyo> like windows
[05:42] <Riyo> are you lost?
[05:42] <cara> o
[05:42] <cara> lol yeah
[05:42] <zazeem> goatmale: any idea how to compile? i need help compiling omthing
[05:43] <cara> i just got unbuntu
[05:43] <goatmale> compilng what?
[05:43] <wheels3572> cara: So your using Linux and not windows
[05:43] <cara> yeah
[05:43] <Qwell> Do I want /boot/ to be raided?
[05:43] <goatmale> cara, stay a while, you will learn a lot.
[05:43] <cara> well i have windown on my computer still
[05:43] <zazeem> compiling a program
[05:43] <dr_willis> Qwell,  i dont see what you would gain by that.
[05:43] <Qwell> ie; are there ill effects, such as...say...not booting?
[05:43] <cara> but i use linux more
[05:44] <goatmale> er...
[05:44] <dr_willis> Qwell,  proberly safer to not have it on a raid..
[05:44] <Qwell> ok
[05:44] <wheels3572> Cara:  Same here I have WinXPon but use Linux more lately
[05:44] <goatmale> !raid

[05:44] <Shorty`> Hey guys, I've got a weird issue were I'm using HA nfs and when I fail between the two NFS servers, one particular user keeps getting stale NFS handles, however root appears to be fine. does anyone have any ideas or somewhere they can point me too?
[05:44] <cara> cool
[05:44] <schmakk> i followed http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=186200 <- that guide, but it didnt work. however, now some fonts in kde are extremely small... like everything in adept and other programs. help.
[05:44] <Riyo> pon?
[05:44] <Qwell> So, 2 disks, 1 smallish partition (100mb), and 1 partition with the rest on disk 1, and 1 partition on disk 2, then I go into the software RAID stuff?
[05:45] <Qwell> I've never done raid, nor ubuntu, heh
[05:45] <zazeem> can someone help me i keep getting this error when compiling a program, checking for X... no
[05:45] <zazeem> checking for XOpenDisplay in -lX11... no
[05:45] <zazeem> configure: error: The path for the X11 files not found! Make sure that X11 is installed and devel
[05:45] <goatmale> do you know what raid is qwell?
[05:45] <Qwell> goatmale: yes, I know what raid is :p
[05:45] <goatmale> oh
[05:45] <goatmale> I don't :(
[05:45] <ku> Hey, I have a question: I've heard that getting full access to NTFS partitions under Linux is difficult. To what extent is this true?
[05:45] <Qwell> I wait a raid0
[05:46] <sethk> ku, reading is easy.  writing to ntfs is somewhat complicated
[05:46] <scipio_africanus> i think it's wise not to write on nfts under linux
[05:46] <wheels3572> !samba > wheels3572
[05:46] <ku> Yeah, I've already set it up to read
[05:46] <zazeem> sethk: can you help me with this compilation stuff?
[05:46] <Qwell> This is going to rock, insanely hard...  2x 73gb 10k rpm SAS disks
[05:46] <ku> K, thanks guys, that's all I needed to hear ^^
[05:46] <cara> ok well i am going to go.... nice talking to you all!
[05:46] <cara> good night <33
[05:46] <schmakk> ku, search ubuntuforums.org, i saw a guide there for writing to ntfs
[05:46] <goatmale> bye bye cara come back if you need  help
[05:47] <schmakk> in the howto section
[05:47] <AAA> writing to NTFS is very unstable, but possible
[05:47] <shriphani> ntfsprogs ?
[05:47] <cara> thanks
[05:47] <zazeem> can anyone help me ? :(
[05:47] <sethk> zazeem, I was away for a while, didn't see the question
[05:47] <ku> This is an unrelated question, but does anybody know if external hard drives need to be formatted for the O/S that it's going to be used for? I use Windows, Unix, and Mac at work and would like to know if I could use one external drive.
[05:47] <zazeem> o
[05:47] <shriphani> apt-cache agrees wimm
[05:47] <sethk> zazeem, what are you compiling?  what error are you getting?
[05:47] <ku> Yeah, "unstable" is enough to deter me from even trying to write to NTFS from linux ^^
[05:47] <goatmale> no ku I don't think so
[05:47] <zazeem> sethk: it was this, i need to compile a program
[05:48] <schmakk> how do i change something like a default font for programs in kde? i messed with compiz and it made some programs have extremely small font size
[05:48] <goatmale> ku: are you just storing files?
[05:48] <zazeem> sethk: im compiling etswitch game minimizer
[05:48] <AAA> ku  there is about the same rw for hpfs+ as ntfs, use fat32 if you really need rw for all os's
[05:48] <ku> yeah, mostly for video editing but some other stuff as well
[05:48] <ku> I hate FAT... =(
[05:48] <zazeem> sethk: heres what i got last few lines of attempting it:checking for X... no
[05:48] <zazeem> checking for XOpenDisplay in -lX11... no
[05:48] <zazeem> configure: error: The path for the X11 files not found! Make sure that X11 is installed and devel
[05:48] <sethk> schmakk, system settings, desktop appearance (or similar words)
[05:48] <AAA> zazeem  you need the x11/xor devel files
[05:49] <sethk> zazeem, you need to install the X windows related development packages
[05:49] <ku> I'm probably going to have to format my external to FAT32 if external hard drives need to be formatted per O/S.
[05:49] <zazeem> where are they? in syn?
[05:49] <schmakk> sethk, been there... the kde desktop itself is fine, like the panel and icons, but inside programs its still weird
[05:49] <sethk> zazeem, the install by default only installs the run time stuff, not the devels.
[05:49] <goatmale> ku I don't think they do, storage is storage.
[05:49] <ku> cool.. thanks goatmale^^
[05:49] <zazeem> so what do i look for in synaptic?
[05:49] <AAA> ku  its not that they need to be formatted for the os, it is the rw compatability across os's that is the bear
[05:49] <zazeem> sethk: so what do i look for in synaptic?
[05:50] <sethk> schmakk, are you sure you checked everything in appearance?  there is a pull down box there for a bunch of different things, and each of those entries in the pull down has it's own font settings.
[05:50] <sethk> zazeem, try     x   devel
[05:50] <zazeem> k
[05:50] <AAA> zazeem  x-org*devel
[05:50] <zazeem> k
[05:50] <ku> Yeah, I need to be able to write on Windows/Unix-Linux/Mac.
[05:50] <zazeem> o i got it now thnx <3 u guys
[05:51] <ku> on a single external drive... I'm going to be taking it back and forth from work.
[05:51] <pawan> adsl broadband
[05:51] <pawan> on ubuntu
[05:51] <AAA> ku, I wrestled with that a while back, fat32 was the best compromise
[05:51] <pawan> how to recover lost partition in ubuntu

[05:52] <whiteguysamurai> ok folks, i have an issue
[05:52] <wheels3572> Got a really dumb question folks I have just tested out something what is the actual different between hitting print and hitting <ALT>print?
[05:52] <zcat[1] > broken huh.. perhaps you shouldn't have tried to format it ntfs :)
[05:52] <cpk2> anyone know of any alternatives to voip programs like teamspeak and ventrilo

[05:53] <CokeNCode> ok, can someone tell me how to use modprobe to install my tvcard ?
[05:53] <CokeNCode> i'm really suffering here guys, this is killing me
[05:53] <CokeNCode> i'm about to try a reinstall
[05:53] <whiteguysamurai> it stalls on network settings
[05:53] <`DaGuy> zazeem - i haven't done it but if you rt click in a blank spot there is a delete feature
[05:53] <AAA> CokeNCode  what kind of tvcard? did you install the drivers?
[05:54] <pawan> accesing internet through ubuntu
[05:54] <CokeNCode> AAA, drivers ... a phillips tv card ... pci
[05:54] <whiteguysamurai> then does nothing, and returns to verbose
[05:54] <AussieDrifter> Any one on Channel that could have a PM with me to trouble shoot EKIGA voice / sound issues ?
[05:54] <zazeem> ya but then i minimize programs they dont show anywhere
[05:54] <ku> Ooh, another question: Is there any danger in getting full access to EXT3 paritions from Windows?
[05:54] <Qwell> AussieDrifter: nat issue...sip?
[05:54] <CokeNCode> CokeNCode, i didn't need to install any drivers when i was running ubuntu 5.10
[05:54] <Qwell> nat/firewall issue, that is
[05:54] <AAA> CokeNCode  did you download and build drivers for it?
[05:54] <CrashProne> Arright, I'll look through that scipio.
[05:54] <scipio_africanus> ku i don't think windwos can see those partitions
[05:54] <CokeNCode> AAA, no ... how do i do that ?
[05:54] <intelligi> How do I check my ip again?
[05:54] <whiteguysamurai> if anyone else has heard of this problem, please lend me a hand.
[05:55] <ku> scipio_africanus: I googled it and apparently, there's a program for it. I would just like to know if it's safe to use it
[05:55] <CokeNCode> I never had to do that before
[05:55] <pawan> how to use sudo command
[05:55] <scipio_africanus> ku: oh i don't know :)
[05:55] <ku> http://www.cyberciti.biz/nixcraft/vivek/blogger/2005/11/how-do-i-read-ext2-or-ext3-filesystems.php =P
[05:55] <_marshall> intelligi: in the terminal: ifconfig
[05:55] <zazeem> AAA: i configured the thing now how do i make it?
[05:55] <AAA> CokeNCode  first you need to know what kind of card you have (lspci -vv) then you need to find what drivers work for it (google) then you need to follow the howto (tons available on the Inet)
[05:55] <CokeNCode> AAA, what about using modprobe ... to detect it ... how do i do that ... what can i do to make my system search for this device ...
[05:55] <aqau_inter_fly> hello everyone i created a directory to mount my Windows Partition, and i edited my fstab file and finished with mount -a, but when i try to go into the directory, i don't have permission, how do i change this
[05:55] <`DaGuy> did jontec get his internet connection going?
[05:56] <cmt> anyone here know how to use hardware acceleration on my graphics card (ATI) and still be able to access the frame buffer?  when i do this, the FB is garbled
[05:56] <pawan> no
[05:56] <AussieDrifter> Qwell not sure,
[05:56] <AAA> modprobe doesn'nt connect anything, it simply inserts a module into the kernl
[05:56] <CokeNCode> AAA, tons avaialbe ... i've been searching for months ... and i can't find a single decent howto on hwo to install a tvcard on ubuntu
[05:56] <AussieDrifter> I've shutdown my firewall and place the PC on the DMZ
[05:56] <`DaGuy> !permissions
[05:56] <ubotu> The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html - file permissions are explained at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[05:56] <AussieDrifter> still not joy with the echo service of SIP
[05:56] <whiteguysamurai> is there a way to skip steps while loading the live cd?
[05:57] <AAA> CokeNCode  sheesh, what kind of card is it? lspci -vv will show you
[05:57] <Riyo> I cant seem to navigate linmodem
[05:57] <pawan> can live cd be used to access internet
[05:57] <Riyo> where do I go?
[05:57] <AAA> pawan  if there is a driver for your Inet hardware sure
[05:57] <goatmale> yes pawan if your
[05:57] <whiteguysamurai> well, seeing as i can not be helped, i'll help somneone else.
[05:57] <goatmale> damn you AAA
[05:57] <AAA> haa
[05:57] <AAA> haha
[05:58] <goatmale> whitegytsamurai why do you want to skip steps?
[05:58] <aqau_inter_fly> hello everyone i created a directory to mount my Windows Partition, and i edited my fstab file and finished with mount -a, but when i try to go into the directory, i don't have permission, how do i change this
[05:58] <yelek> Anone know (unfortunatley) about dos a littl? I have a friend with an old DELL w/ windohs 95 on it and it wont boot ubuntu from cd...any ideas?
[05:58] <pawan> what are the setting
[05:58] <cmt> yelek:  did you check the bios boot settings?
[05:58] <goatmale> yelek his bios probably can't boot from CD
[05:58] <schmakk> yelek, check in the bios that its set to boot from cd
[05:58] <dr_willis> yelek,  check the bios - make sure its set to boot off the cd. Dos has nothing to do with it.
[05:58] <whiteguysamurai> because both the hardware detection and the network setup are forcing my machine to freeze while loading the os
[05:58] <goatmale> lmao
[05:59] <cmt> yelek:  often the bios has to be told to boot formt he cd
[05:59] <cmt> lol
[05:59] <pawan> how to access the broadband
[05:59] <schmakk> you got that yelek?
[05:59] <AAA> aqau_inter_fly  you need to chmod that directory appropriate to your LAN
[05:59] <Riyo> ?
[05:59] <zazeem> AAA: i configured the thing now how do i make it?
[05:59] <`DaGuy> yelek .. if i remember right you need to tell the old machine there is a cd drive there
[05:59] <CokeNCode> AAA,  it's a phillips saa7130
[05:59] <AAA> aqau_inter_fly  chmod a+rw /dir will work and leave you wide open
[05:59] <yelek> yeh i entered bios and it says will boot from cd auto but it does not, its probably some weird shizza tho
[05:59] <AAA> zazeem  make
[05:59] <wheels3572> +
[05:59] <aqau_inter_fly> AAA: ok thanks, trying now
[06:00] <zazeem> AAA: i did that it doesnt work
[06:00] <whiteguysamurai> as to say, i can get past the hardware detection, but the automatic network detection forces verbose and becomes upresponsive
[06:00] <goatmale> his bios probably is to old to boot from CD
[06:00] <cmt> anyone here know how to use hardware acceleration on my graphics card (ATI) and still be able to access the frame buffer?  when i do this, the FB is garbled
[06:00] <`DaGuy> yelek - it was not bios ... it was an autoexec.bat command
[06:00] <pawan> how to recover lost partition in ubuntu
[06:00] <zazeem> AAA: in the directory i have a file called makefile.in and makefile.am
[06:00] <yelek> goatmale: anyway to fix this problem?
[06:00] <pawan> which command is used
[06:00] <lecaros> !gparted
[06:00] <ubotu> gparted is a GUI partitioning program, "apt-get install gparted", also available as a live cd http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[06:00] <agnes> hey all!
[06:01] <AAA> CokeNCode  google says...  http://linux.bytesex.org/v4l2/saa7134.html
[06:01] <agnes> I was wondering how I can convert my kubuntu system to ubuntu.
[06:01] <aqau_inter_fly> AAA: thanks a lot it worked
[06:01] <pawan> how to run this command
[06:01] <zcat[1] > !gpart
[06:01] <ubotu> I know nothing about gpart - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[06:01] <AAA> zazeem  you don't have the devel tools installed? g++ gcc etc... ?
[06:01] <cmt> agnes:  its possible.  check into apt-get dist-upgrade
[06:01] <whiteguysamurai> i see there are far too many question, i think i'll just wait my turn.
[06:01] <CrashProne> If my second hard drive I'm wanting to setup in grub is "HDB", with just one partition, would it be (hd1,0) in GRUB?
[06:01] <agnes> cmt: How's that?
[06:01] <zazeem> AAA: i dont know ill look
[06:01] <yelek> goatmale: anyway to fix this problem?
[06:01] <AAA> aqau_inter_fly  be careful with your perm, that should get you started though
[06:02] <goatmale> !ping
[06:02] <ubotu> pong
[06:02] <zazeem> AAA: what ones are there?
[06:02] <aqau_inter_fly> AAA: what is perm?
[06:02] <dr_willis> CrashProne,  i think so.. rember grub starts counting at 0, and it skips the cdrom drive. (I think)
[06:02] <goatmale> not that I know of.
[06:02] <cmt> agnes:  i dont know the details... but some googling should provide it
[06:02] <goatmale> but I am noob too
[06:02] <CrashProne> Arright
[06:02] <AAA> zazeem  ubuntu has a handy virtual pkg for the devel tools, someone smarter than me knows what it is
[06:02] <goatmale> it happens on two of my computers
[06:02] <CrashProne> This should be easy then.. thanks dr_willis
[06:02] <cmt> agnes: once the system is set up properly, just issuing a command should do it
[06:02] <_marshall> agnes: i dont know if you can convert, but you can install the metapackage 'ubuntu-desktop' and uninstall 'kubuntu-desktop'
[06:02] <AAA> aqau_inter_fly  chmod == chang mode == change permissions on a dir/file
[06:02] <Shak-> whats a recommended FTP client to use?
[06:02] <agnes> cmt: the hits just say that it's possible.
[06:02] <Shak-> besides gftp
[06:02] <agnes> _marshall: I figured as much..
[06:02] <dr_willis> CrashProne,  also you can edit the grub boot lines from the grub menus. :) makes it easy to change
[06:03] <dr_willis> CrashProne,  for one boot at least.
[06:03] <zazeem> does anyone know what the devel tool package is under ubuntu?
[06:03] <CokeNCode> wth ... where is the modprobe configuration file in ubuntu ?
[06:03] <agnes> _marshall: but I was wondering about how to reasonably uninstall kubuntu-desktop and all packages depending upon it.
[06:03] <goatmale> !ftp
[06:03] <aqau_inter_fly> AAA: oh ic
  FTP clients: gftp, konqueror, kbear, nautilus. FTP servers: ftpd, proftpd, pure-ftpd, twoftpd, vsftpd
[06:03] <Shak-> hmm, konqueror
[06:03] <cmt> agnes:  if you open up synaptic, search for "ubuntu" as marshall suggests i think there are packages that "define" kubuntu or ubuntu.... uninstalling one and installing the other maybe all you need
[06:03] <faldor> hey im having problems compiling wine on amd64 using http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit
[06:03] <_marshall> agnes: i thinks that just doing 'sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop' would do the trick
[06:03] <zazeem> does anyone know what the devel tool package is under ubuntu?
[06:03] <Shak-> isnt that a web browser mainly?
[06:03] <whiteguysamurai> just for future reference, network detection can force your machine to cash.
[06:04] <agnes> _marshall: it's a meta-package..
[06:04] <yelek> oh ok, well thx though goatmale
[06:04] <AAA> !devel
[06:04] <ubotu> I know nothing about devel - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[06:04] <AAA> !dev
[06:04] <ubotu> I know nothing about dev - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[06:04] <whiteguysamurai> and ubuntu is highly picky.
[06:04] <_marshall> agnes: make sure you install ubuntu-desktop before you uninstall kubuntu-desktop
[06:04] <goatmale> sorry.. if you figure out how to do it notify me ^^
[06:04] <waikitz> !mencoder
[06:04] <ubotu> I know nothing about mencoder - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[06:05] <zazeem> AAA: think i found it
[06:05] <AAA> zazeem  I am not sure what the virtual pkg name is, I do know you need: autoconf automake gcc g++ make (and a few more the depends _may_ satisfy)
[06:05] <gmoore> anyone here have a 2007fpw monitor?
[06:05] <cmt> agnes:  if you open up synaptic, search for "ubuntu" as marshall suggests i think there are packages that "define" kubuntu or ubuntu.... uninstalling one and installing the other maybe all you need
[06:05] <cmt> oops
[06:05] <cmt> anyone here know how to use hardware acceleration on my graphics card (ATI) and still be able to access the frame buffer?  when i do this, the FB is garbled
[06:05] <agnes> cmt: : )
[06:06] <_marshall> agnes: im not sure
[06:06] <faldor> when i do make depend i get this at the end make[2] : *** [casemap.o]  Error 1
[06:06] <faldor> make[2] : Leaving directory `/home/faldor/Desktop/wine-0.9.17/libs/unicode'
[06:06] <faldor> make[1] : *** [unicode]  Error 2
[06:06] <faldor> make[1] : Leaving directory `/home/faldor/Desktop/wine-0.9.17/libs'
[06:06] <faldor> make: *** [libs]  Error 2
[06:07] <AAA> faldor  looks like you are missing some libs (ie. devel pkg's) the source needs
[06:07] <whiteguysamurai> CMT: you need to get the right drivers.http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=131253
[06:07] <agnes> hmmm.
[06:07] <agnes> _marshall: that won't do it.
[06:07] <agnes> removing kubuntu-desktop just removes that metapackage, and nothing else.
[06:07] <_marshall> agnes: yua
[06:08] <ku> agnes: I have both installed (had Ubuntu installed first, then installed "kubuntu-desktop") and I've yet to run into any problems... Good thing is, I get to pick which programs to use from which desktop^^... but then again, I'm a complete nooob
[06:08] <_tcc> Where does apt-get install java
[06:08] <_tcc> ?
[06:08] <ku> and I can switch between the two by logging out.
[06:08] <agnes> ku: I have done that before, but I don't want to that here.
[06:08] <agnes> to do that here..
[06:08] <ku> kk ^^
[06:09] <whiteguysamurai> as for my problem, it's obvious no one understands nor is interested in my problem, so i guess ubuntu isn't for me.
[06:09] <dr_willis> thats what the forums are for.
[06:09] <cmt> whiteguysamurai:  ok, that looks good thanks a lot
[06:09] <whiteguysamurai> you're welcome CMT
[06:10] <cmt> whiteguysamurai:  what problem are you having?
[06:10] <_tcc> Slackware
[06:10] <CokeNCode> ok, guys, how do i edit my modprobe configuration file
[06:10] <CokeNCode> i mean ... where the heck is it
[06:10] <CokeNCode> this tutorial is telling me its /etc/modprobe.conf ... but ... it's not there
[06:11] <whiteguysamurai> i am unable to get past network setup while loading 6.06 to live cd, so therefore i am unable to install outright with the given option.
[06:11] <Riyo> where can I see a list of harware supporte by ubuntu?
[06:11] <cmt> whiteguysamurai: what does it say?
[06:11] <skavenge> wiki.ubuntu.com, like everything else
[06:11] <whiteguysamurai> it will try to set up network, then it switches to verbose, and freezes
[06:12] <cmt> no errors?
[06:12] <scipio_africanus> Riyo: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[06:12] <whiteguysamurai> nothing, just sits there, then goes to a verbose version of the graphic loader
[06:12] <AAA> whiteguysamurai  what is your problem?
[06:12] <Riyo> thank you
[06:12] <cmt> whiteguysamurai:  thats very odd.  while im seasoned in linux, ubuntu is new to me.... still ive never seen that.
[06:12] <dr_willis> Hmm. the 'alternative install cd' is the good old fashioned text installer aint it?
[06:13] <cmt> whiteguysamurai:  just for kicks, have you tried burning another copy of the disk?  maybe its a bad burn?
[06:13] <whiteguysamurai> i am unable to install the operating system because it refuses to skip past the network detection, while loading the live cd to install.
[06:13] <whiteguysamurai> ok.
[06:13] <whiteguysamurai> these are ship it disks
[06:13] <cmt> whiteguysamurai:  it know its a lame answer, but usually it should give you an error at least.... something odd is going on
[06:13] <dr_willis> or at least it SEEMS to be halting at the network detection.
[06:14] <AAA> whiteguysamurai  what nic is it puking on?:
[06:14] <whiteguysamurai> i have several.
[06:14] <skavenge> whiteguysamurai: so download the alternate cd iso, which uses a text install, some people have troubles with the livecd
[06:14] <whiteguysamurai> DWL-ag530
[06:14] <whiteguysamurai> wireless.
[06:14] <AAA> OH
[06:14] <AAA> there ya go
[06:14] <jimlau> hey guys.. what's the best way to upgrade to 6.06 from Warty (5.x)? download a new ISO and burn and install from that?
[06:14] <whiteguysamurai> text install, i should try that, but i have no knowledge of CLI whatsoever.
[06:15] <AAA> jimlau  NO, edit your sources.list and apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
[06:15] <_tcc> Does anyone know where apt-get install java?
[06:15] <skavenge> jimlau: thats what id suggest but you can do it over the net by upgrading to breezy tjem to dapper
[06:15] <AAA> jimlau  just substitue hoary for dapper in sources.list
[06:15] <whiteguysamurai> but it seems upavoidable.
[06:15] <jimlau> alrighty.. I'll see if I can sort that out
[06:15] <skavenge> you have to upgrade to breezy FIRST.
[06:15] <AAA> skavenge  only dapper has a sun java deb, apt-cache search java
[06:16] <skavenge> if doing it over the net
[06:16] <_azrael> _tcc: Try easyubuntu: easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/
[06:16] <whiteguysamurai>  thanks for help
[06:16] <CokeNCode> JEEZE, THIS IS FUCKING PISSING ME OFF ... this tvtuner worked perfectly under 5.10 ... now i upgrade and it's fucked !
[06:16] <CokeNCode> damn it all to hell !!!
[06:17] <_tcc> _azrael, I already have it installed.
[06:17] <DBO> !cs m CokeNCode
[06:17] <_tcc> I need to know where it was installed to.
[06:17] <AAA> CokeNCode  they will kick you for that lang, FYI
[06:17] <ubotu> I know nothing about cs m CokeNCode - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[06:17] <_azrael> _tcc: Oh, where it's installed, my bad.
[06:17] <_tcc> np
[06:17] <_tcc> I am trying to install Jpcap, and I can't figure out where the hell it placed it.
[06:17] <DBO> CokeNCode, you know better than to use that kind of language
[06:17] <digital> what's going on with us.archive.ubuntu.com? It's not responding...
[06:18] <skavenge> digital: down
[06:18] <digital> skavenge: What do I replace it with
[06:18] <Riyo> awesome --> Pre-configured Systems
[06:18] <Riyo> :)
[06:18] <scipio_africanus> digital: delete us
[06:18] <skavenge> digital: check your sources.list take 'us.' out of the front of any of the repos
[06:19] <digital> will do
[06:19] <digital> be back
[06:19] <nootrope> anyone else having trouble downloading updates via apt-get?
[06:19] <skavenge> *sigh*
[06:19] <digital> nootrope: I am. Talk to skavenge
[06:19] <_azrael> nootrope: See that earlier comment about deleting the us. in front of archive servers
[06:20] <`DaGuy> nootrope - server down most of day
[06:20] <_marshall> hey guys
[06:20] <skavenge> nootrope: check your sources.list take 'us.' out of the front of any of the repos, U.S. ones are down
[06:20] <nootrope> -azrael, digital: thanks. i just dropped in. missed that
[06:20] <AAA> in debian the us servers are at the umn.edu and they always go down
[06:20] <nootrope> thanks, all.
[06:21] <_marshall> i just used automatix to install frostwire, but when i try to run it, it goes throught the loading sequence, the main window comes up but there is nothing in it
[06:21] <goatmale> marshall did you install java?
[06:21] <skavenge> thats probably because you used automatix heh
[06:21] <_marshall> goatmale: i unno. i only checked frostwire in automatix
[06:21] <bensr20det> I have been following along with the servers being down and that i need to remove the "us." from the source.list but I am very new to this how is that done?
[06:21] <digital> nootrope: It looks like my "apt-get update" is working
[06:21] <goatmale> hey skav back off automatix rocks.
[06:22] <_tcc> it wouldn't start without java
[06:22] <nootrope> lucky you, digital ;)
[06:22] <kitsuneofdoom> I am having problems getting packages
[06:22] <skavenge> goatmale: automatix is an awful script that should never have been made
[06:22] <goatmale> why not?
[06:22] <nootrope> mine hangs after the security updates
[06:22] <_marshall> _tcc: it did all that "Loading" business
[06:22] <_tcc> Yeah, the splash screen?
[06:22] <Riyo> whats HardwareSupport/Machines/Barebones?
[06:22] <_marshall> _tcc: ya
[06:22] <Riyo> I dont get it
[06:23] <kitsuneofdoom> I cannot get anything
[06:23] <goatmale> kitsuneofdoom the us servers are down
[06:23] <Riyo> like shuttle pc's?
[06:23] <_tcc> Then nothing is wrong with java.
[06:23] <kitsuneofdoom> oh
[06:23] <kitsuneofdoom> goatmale: any idea when they will be up?
[06:23] <goatmale> do you know how to edit your sources.list
[06:23] <goatmale> nope
[06:23] <skavenge> goatmale: it destroys alot of peoples systems, its just a script that -totally- skips the ubuntu package system which in turn makes even more headaches down the road
[06:23] <AAA> mmmm headaches....
[06:23] <ku> whew... enough tinkering with Linux for today... ^^... I still got a while before I make the full switch
[06:23] <goatmale> how will it make more headaces?
[06:24] <ku> Now back to my comfy 'ol windows! ^^
[06:24] <goatmale> ew.
[06:24] <ku> thanks for the help everybody
[06:24] <_marshall> skavenge: do you know how i might be able to fix my frostwire?
[06:24] <bensr20det> goatmale: could you tell me how to edit sources.list?
[06:24] <_marshall> ku: lol np man
[06:24] <kitsuneofdoom> ku: Er, I feel the opposite now
[06:24] <_tcc> windows is not comfy
[06:24] <_tcc> lol
[06:24] <skavenge> goatmale: package conflicts, apt having  unmet dependencies, etc etc
[06:24] <AAA> ku, hehe, it is ALOT more user friendly than it was 3y ago :0
[06:24] <_marshall> ku: thats what im here for
[06:24] <_tcc> it's like hell
[06:24] <AAA> bensr20det  sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:24] <_tcc> Coming to Linux, you need to jump into the flames and kill yourself.
[06:24] <digital> nootrope: Are you having problems ??
[06:24] <_tcc> Go with Slackware first.
[06:24] <skavenge> _marshall: did you install java? i didnt see your reply to that?
[06:24] <goatmale> ben: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:25] <nootrope> digital, yep!
[06:25] <bensr20det> thanks :)
[06:25] <ku> AAA: I know, I remember like 7-8 years ago, I tried to install it but there was nothing to refer to
[06:25] <goatmale> and then erase the servers with us in front of them
[06:25] <kitsuneofdoom> I don't think I have anything too important to get, so as long as the servers will go back up in the next week or so, I'll be fine
[06:25] <AAA> boooo! slackware debian uber alles
[06:25] <_tcc> AAA, hehehe
[06:25] <digital> nootrope: Did you take out "us." from your sources list
[06:25] <_tcc> _marshall, type java
[06:25] <_marshall> skavenge: i uhh... dont know. i checked frostwire in automatix and i saw something about java in the terminal output
[06:25] <ku> But then again, I was like 12 years old back then ... ^^
[06:25] <_marshall> ok
[06:25] <gdb> I started with Linux 12 years ago.
[06:25] <_tcc> if you get tons of crap, it's installed
[06:25] <ku> wow ^^
[06:25] <_marshall> ok i got tons of crap
[06:25] <nootrope> digital, not yet. trying to find it... :\
[06:25] <_tcc> java is probably fine though, if you got the splash screen
[06:25] <AAA> ku haha, never to young....or dumb :) look at me
[06:25] <gdb> Slackware 2.0 here, kernel 1.1.59.
[06:26] <digital> nootrope: on the command line use nano
[06:26] <goatmale> i started linux 3 days ago.
[06:26] <kitsuneofdoom> uh...then why are you hanging out on the Ubuntu IRC?
[06:26] <digital> nootrope: /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:26] <cmt> gdb: are you serious?
[06:26] <zcat[1] > SLS, kernel 0.97 iirc...
[06:26] <gdb> cmt: Yes
[06:26] <ku> goatmale: I beat you! i started it yesterday ^^
[06:26] <cmt> gdb:  thats impressive
[06:26] <skavenge> _marshall: well it requires java to be installed, and i have no clue about automatix so id use the wiki to install it but thats your option,
[06:26] <gdb> kitsuneofdoom: Who?
[06:26] <cmt> gdb:  when was that released?
[06:26] <nootrope> digital, thanks for the pointer. still having a ;lot of trouble getting used to where things are
[06:26] <gdb> cmt: Was back in college.  A geek friend of mine convinced me to install it since I liked playing around on the Unix machines at school.
[06:27] <kitsuneofdoom> oh...sorry, that's where you started
[06:27] <gdb> cmt: 1994
[06:27] <_marshall> skavenge: i typed java and it gave me a bunch of usage options and whatnot
[06:27] <kitsuneofdoom> not what you're using now
[06:27] <lufis> How do I boot directly into command line?
[06:27] <AAA> 1994, sheez linux was barely beta
[06:27] <digital> nootrope: Same here. I'm a CentOS users. Or was one.
[06:27] <_marshall> lufis: uninstall ubuntu-desktop and gnome
[06:27] <_azrael> lufis: Are you looking to do that by default, or temporarily for repairs?
[06:27] <_tcc> Yeah, the Java is fine in his case.
[06:27] <cmt> gdb:  haha. and i figured 1997 made me a vet around here
[06:27] <_marshall> lufis: i think theres probably an easier
[06:27] <_marshall> lufis: way
[06:27] <gdb> lufis: You need to rename/delete the /etc/rc?.d/S??gdm symlinks.
[06:27] <lufis> _marshall: Haha, I'd like to keep the GUI, thanks.
[06:27] <kitsuneofdoom> I'm fairly new...January '05
[06:28] <_marshall> lufis: lol ok
[06:28] <_tcc> I'm hitting one year soon.
[06:28] <lufis> _azrael: Just temporarily
[06:28] <cmt> lufis:  you only need to do it in rc2.d
[06:28] <gdb> lufis: Then you can do /etc/init.d/gdm stop to turn off gdm without rebooting.
[06:28] <_tcc> But I started with a trial by fire.
[06:28] <AAA> Feb 2000 here
[06:28] <skavenge> _marshall: well it thinks its installed then - open a terminal and run frostwire and see if your getting any errors is about all i can suggest
[06:28] <_marshall> skavenge: so ah
[06:28] <_marshall> skavenge: ok
[06:28] <nootrope> digital, i guess it'll soon be as natural as breathing
[06:28] <kitsuneofdoom> First Fedora 3, then Ubuntu Hoary, Debian Sarge, then back to Ubuntu for Drake
[06:29] <gdb> I think Debian suffers from a serious case of "not invented here" when it comes to Red Hat's service and chkconfig commands.
[06:29] <lufis> gdb: I read it has something to do with init levels? Can I just change those somhow?
[06:29] <kitsuneofdoom> I think it's improved from Hoary to Drake
[06:29] <kitsuneofdoom> quite a lot
[06:29] <kitsuneofdoom> well, obviously it's improved
[06:29] <sparkleytone> alright any usb gurus around?
[06:29] <goatmale> does edgy come out next?
[06:29] <_marshall> kitsuneofdoom: i agree
[06:29] <gdb> lufis: The /etc/rc?.d directories refer to the various run levels.  The ? is replaced by the number of the runlevel.
[06:29] <cmt> gdb:  however, apt is FAR better than redhats yum IMHO
[06:29] <_tcc> usb rulez
[06:29] <sparkleytone> i'm experiencing much slower than acceptable speeds with my external enclosure
[06:29] <lufis> gdb: Ah
[06:29] <_marshall> sparkleytone: whats the problem son?
[06:29] <AAA> all you need to be a linux user: screen mutt vim netcat
[06:29] <zcat[1] > !edgy
[06:29] <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
[06:29] <_tcc> cmt, mmm yea
[06:29] <goatmale> when it comes out how do I upgrade?
[06:29] <_tcc> VIM!!!
[06:29] <_tcc> netcat!!!
[06:30] <AAA> hehe
[06:30] <gdb> cmt: I can't disagree there.  The dpkg/apt system is missing some features I really liked in rpm, but apt seems more flexible (by far) overall.
[06:30] <_marshall> sparkleytone: whats an external enclosure?
[06:30] <sparkleytone> and here's the kicker...its obviously some sort of problem, because when i do an hdparm -tT...it disconnects and reconnects with the next device node
[06:30] <lt> just installed 6.06... trying do do a apt-get update, but it can't connect to us.archive.ubuntu.com... is it me or is somethign wrong with the site?  I can't get to it from my browser either.
[06:30] <kitsuneofdoom> server down
[06:30] <digital> nootrope: Yup!
[06:30] <_tcc> Vim, nc, nmap, cat, perl.
[06:30] <gdb> lt: Apparently the US archives are down for the time being.
[06:30] <kitsuneofdoom> sorry, lt
[06:30] <sparkleytone> usb external hd enclosure
[06:30] <AAA> gdb  WHAT! deb is SO supperior to rpm....
[06:30] <lt> ugh
[06:30] <gdb> I don't know of any ETA.
[06:30] <goatmale> It it's down
[06:30] <_tcc> well, cd and ls
[06:30] <nootrope> digital. it's working!
[06:30] <digital> nootrope: Cool!
[06:30] <bensr20det> once i edit sources.list how do i save it?
[06:31] <Riyo> synamptic is like a place to download everything linux related? or just ubuntu? or just ubuntu friendly?
[06:31] <gdb> I feel that RPM is a superior package format, but dpkg seems to be a superior package management system.
[06:31] <goatmale> crtl s ben
[06:31] <digital> nootrope: Now we can both start intalling applications
[06:31] <bensr20det> thanks
[06:31] <kitsuneofdoom> Anything on Ubuntu's repositories
[06:31] <goatmale> hey IT.
[06:31] <gdb> And honestly, for most people, the management system is what matter.
[06:31] <gdb> matters*
[06:31] <kitsuneofdoom> a ton of applications, Riyo
[06:31] <digital> I need to pass this info allong
[06:31] <lt> still debating betwen ubuntu and suse 10.1.... this apt-get problem is frustrating
[06:31] <_marshall> bensr20det: you have to edit it as root in order to save it
[06:31] <tripppy> how do i repair/recover a ubuntu install?
[06:31] <sparkleytone> anyone know where to start troubleshooting my issue?
[06:31] <zcat[1] > bah!! what was wrong with tar.gz's anyhow... :)
[06:31] <nootrope> digital : wheee! what a way to spend saturday night!
[06:31] <intelligi> The Synaptic Package Manager rocks.
[06:31] <intelligi> Ubuntu is awesome.
[06:31] <goatmale> IT it's not an apt-get problem it's a server problem.
[06:31] <zcat[1] > in my day we built everything from source, and we liked it!!
[06:32] <_marshall> bensr20det: press alt+f2 and type gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:32] <gdb> lt: It's not really an issue with the Ubuntu operating system, but yes, it's frustrating when you can't apt-get things easily.  You can, however, delete the "us." part from each line in /etc/apt/sources.list to get on your way.
[06:32] <gdb> lt: you may choose to replace them later.
[06:32] <bensr20det> _marshall: I did sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:32] <bensr20det> was that wrong?
[06:32] <goatmale> use gedit
[06:32] <ku> zcat[1] : Youths of modern day are too occupied with TV and movies to sit there and learn how to code ^^
[06:32] <kitsuneofdoom> can't you upgrade Ubuntu without a full reinstall?
[06:32] <_marshall> bensr20det: i never use vim so i dont know how to save
[06:32] <_marshall> kitsuneofdoom: yeah
[06:32] <AAA> what is wrong with vim?
[06:32] <goatmale> gedit is easier
[06:32] <AAA> so
[06:32] <goatmale> IMHO
[06:32] <_marshall> kitsuneofdoom: i think all you have to do is sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[06:32] <AAA> hehe
[06:32] <goatmale> it's his first day XD
[06:32] <gdb> Package formats and management systems aside, I feel as long as someone is using Linux in some form, they're on the right track.  I can't really disparage any distribution because they all fill a niche that's important to someone, somewhere.
[06:33] <bensr20det> what does "vim" mean?
[06:33] <shriphani> vi improved
[06:33] <_marshall> AAA: i unno, i just dont use it. its either nano or gedit for me
[06:33] <goatmale> it's a text editor
[06:33] <bensr20det> ah
[06:33] <goatmale> so is gedit
[06:33] <_marshall> gedit is sexy
[06:33] <goatmale> gedit is what i use.
[06:33] <_tcc> ku, not me
[06:33] <shriphani> i use emacs
[06:33] <kitsuneofdoom> _marshall: Ok. I have Dapper now, but hey, when Edgy comes out, it's nice to not have to reistall
[06:33] <_marshall> tabbed, syntax and all that
[06:33] <lt> ah, thanks for the 'remove us.' tip
[06:33] <lt> that worked
[06:33] <_marshall> kitsuneofdoom: yayuh
[06:33] <Dyss> Hello
[06:33] <kitsuneofdoom> I want to learn either emacs or vim
[06:34] <_marshall> wats so good about emacs?
[06:34] <zcat[1] > getting used to nano though since it's default with ubuntu
[06:34] <_tcc> learn vim
[06:34] <shriphani> emacs has a tutorial too
[06:34] <_tcc> tis fast
[06:34] <ike_> Can anyone tell this nub why ubuntu kernel confiurations with SMP disabled break X (no screens found even though i810 is built and loaded like in the other configs)?
[06:34] <zcat[1] > i can use vi if i have to.. but only if I really HAVE to!
[06:34] <gdb> kitsuneofdoom: If you want your knowledge to be instantly portable to other versions of Unix, then vi is what you want to go with.  Regardless if you prefer vi or emacs, knowledge of vi is important in general system administration.
[06:34] <lt> whch is preferred on ubuntu?  inetd or xinetd?  (I'm coming from redhat so I'm used to xinetd)
[06:34] <AAA> kitsuneofdoom  vimtutor
[06:34] <skavenge> i dont mind nano, i was a pico user previously
[06:34] <_tcc> Coding is better in vim.
[06:34] <gdb> kitsuneofdoom: vi comes with every modern Unix, emacs does not.  But like I said, even if you prefer to use emacs, it's good to know vi.
[06:34] <kitsuneofdoom> I shall learn vi then
[06:35] <_tcc> ues
[06:35] <_tcc> YES
[06:35] <shriphani> i use vim too although just once in a while
[06:35] <gdb> kitsuneofdoom: I'd suggest trying both.  They both have a fair learning curve.
[06:35] <AAA> zcat[1]   a crusty hack like you bad mouting vi ? wO
[06:35] <sparkleytone> my usb problems...here's a dump of dmesg --> http://paste.lisp.org/display/23016
[06:35] <kitsuneofdoom> I tried vi, it was confusing, I tried emacs, it was equally confusing
[06:35] <shriphani> for python it has to be emacs
[06:35] <zcat[1] > i never got used to vi.
[06:35] <_tcc> it's so easy
[06:35] <_tcc> and fun
[06:35] <AAA> kitsuneofdoom  vim == vi improved :)
[06:35] <kitsuneofdoom> ah, I like python...so there is a factor here...suggesting emacs
[06:35] <_tcc> and fast
[06:35] <gdb> zcat[1] : I end up typing vi commands in gedit and notepad. :-(
[06:36] <_marshall> am i wrong or are vim, emacs and nano all just terminal text editors?
[06:36] <goatmale> !vi
[06:36] <sparkleytone> i would def love some help, or maybe redirection to a channel that could help
[06:36] <ubotu> I know nothing about vi - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[06:36] <goatmale> !vim
[06:36] <ubotu> Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), vi/vim (terminal-based), terminal based: vi/vim, emacs, nano (user-friendly). HTML/CSS editors: !html; Programming: !code
[06:36] <goatmale> !emacs
[06:36] <_tcc> lol
[06:36] <kitsuneofdoom> why can't or shouldn't one code python in vi?
[06:36] <gdb> kitsuneofdoom: It's not really a question of one or the other, you should use either vi OR both vi and emacs.  Knowing emacs without knowing vi isn't portable beyond Linux.  And even Ubuntu does not come with emacs installed by default, but it does come with vi.
[06:36] <kitsuneofdoom> well...can't is obviously not
[06:36] <_tcc> kitsuneofdoom, it really doesn't matter
[06:36] <AAA> emacs is apparently the end all be all for word processors (if you let a lisp lover tell it...)
[06:36] <kitsuneofdoom> I thought so
[06:37] <goatmale> I know gedit
[06:37] <gdb> kitsuneofdoom: They're referring to the python macros that allow you to more easily edit python code.  It's nothing that you *need* but it's a nice to have.
[06:37] <_tcc> I am checking out emacs now.
[06:37] <_tcc> What the hell is this buffer?
[06:37] <_tcc> lol
[06:37] <shriphani> What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel?
[06:37] <AAA> HAHA
[06:37] <_tcc> How obnoxious.
[06:37] <gdb> _tcc: The buffer is where your text is stored prior to being comitted to a file.
[06:37] <kitsuneofdoom> I will try to learn vi...any suggestions on a good tutorial?
[06:37] <_marshall> what is there to love about these text editors?! whats the difference between them?
[06:37] <AAA> you need 20 fingers to use emacs...
[06:37] <_tcc> gdb, yeah but this crpa t the top?
[06:38] <gdb> _tcc: Crap at the top?  I don't know to what you're referring.  Are you using a tty or X version of emacs?  And please note that my familiarity with emacs commands is fairly passing.
[06:38] <Dyss> hehe, editors
[06:38] <_tcc> kitsuneofdoom, type vimtutor
[06:38] <sparkleytone> anyone?
[06:38] <kitsuneofdoom> where?
[06:38] <Xenguy> people find their editor, and then go religious ;-)
[06:38] <clarity_> has anyone had any trouble with mozilla-plugin-vlc?
[06:38] <PuGz> hey guys. anyone know how I can get my plustek opticpro 4800p scanner to work with dapper? I have found info about the plustek_pp drivers (the scanner uses the parallel port)
[06:38] <AAA> kitsuneofdoom  yeah, that is what I said, vimtutor
[06:38] <kitsuneofdoom> nevermind
[06:39] <shriphani> What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel?
[06:39] <gdb> I will say that if you're a purist from even a historical standpoint, you'd want to use emacs for no reason other than emacs was written by Richard M. Stallman while vi was written by spawn of Satan Bill Joy.
[06:39] <AAA> hjkl
[06:39] <Xenguy> but damn vim is good :P
[06:39] <_tcc> yes it is
[06:39] <_tcc> vi is sym linked to vim
[06:39] <gdb> er, written by Bill Joy. ;-)
[06:39] <shriphani> you can read email, irc etc. with emacs
[06:39] <AAA> shimmmy  you can use irssi and vim and mutt too =p
[06:39] <sparkleytone> shouldnt this conversation go to #ubuntu-offtopic ?
[06:39] <gdb> Dyss: One of the 3 people that founded Sun Microsystems.
[06:40] <_tcc> I like Jedit for java.
[06:40] <AAA> shimmmy  all in a screen session for half the RAM
[06:40] <shriphani> What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel?
[06:40] <_tcc> It's awesome.
[06:40] <_tcc> But Gui....
[06:40] <_tcc> so meh
[06:40] <Dyss> ah ok
[06:40] <shriphani> will anyone answer my question lol
[06:40] <kitsuneofdoom> I think I will do vimtutor in the morning
[06:40] <sparkleytone> they're too busy being offtopic shriphani
[06:40] <Xenguy> shriphani: emacs is a coders paradise (an IDE) but I am a vim guy all the way (I wish I could learn both, and I've tried)
[06:40] <AAA> /usr/lib/include ?
[06:41] <gdb> shriphani: They end up going in /usr/include/linux
[06:41] <AAA>  /usr/src/linux/build ?
[06:41] <shriphani> ok
[06:41] <sparkleytone> http://paste.lisp.org/display/23016
[06:41] <kitsuneofdoom> good bye all
[06:41] <sparkleytone> my usb hd is slow and likes to disconnect when tested...anyone?
[06:42] <AAA> shimmmy  did you install the `uname -r`-kernel-headers?
[06:42] <gdb> shriphani: There are actually other locations, the package is linux-kernel-headers.  If you installed build-essential, you'll have that package.  You can do dpkg -L linux-kernel-headers to list the files.
[06:42] <shriphani> ok
[06:42] <poje> gdb: just because I admire RMS for his abilities doesn't mean I think he's sane or that I should use emacs over vim ;d
[06:42] <gdb> shriphani: If you plan to compile anything, then build-essential is... essential. ;-)
[06:43] <gdb> shriphani: dpkg -s linux-kernel-headers will give you the package blurb.
[06:43] <AAA> haha, poje said RMS, haha
[06:44] <shriphani> i The directory of kernel headers (version 2.6.11) does not match your running
[06:44] <shriphani> kernel (version 2.6.15-26-386).  Even if the module were to compile
[06:44] <shriphani> successfully, it would not load into the running kernel.
[06:44] <shriphani> What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
[06:44] <shriphani> kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.15-26-386/build/include] 
[06:44] <poje> shriphani: have you not been paying attn?
[06:44] <shriphani> damn why am i having probs while installing vmware player
[06:44] <poje> AAA: and? ;d
[06:44] <AAA> you need the exact version
[06:45] <gdb> 2.6.11 is what ships with Ubuntu and is the current version.
[06:45] <AAA> I can't look it up ATM, I am on a debian box. but:: apt-cache search linux headers
[06:45] <gdb> 2.6.11.2-0ubuntu18 to be precise.
[06:45] <shriphani> then is this problem unsolvable
[06:45] <omar> Hallo, Ich bin zruckgekommen leute :)
[06:46] <gdb> !de
[06:46] <ubotu> Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de
[06:46] <Vilkacis> How do I let anyone edit a set of files in a directory?
[06:46] <Vilkacis> Give full permissions to all users?
[06:46] <omar> ja, danke vielen :)
[06:46] <zcat[1] > Vilkacis: chmod a+rwx foo/
[06:47] <poje> Vilkacis: chmod -R 777 your/dir/
[06:47] <gdb> Vilkacis: Add -R between the chmod and a in that command.
[06:47] <gdb> Vilkacis: It's better, however, to add the files to a new group and then place all the users you want modifying them in that group.
[06:47] <AAA> shimmmy  basically you need either the configured (and booted to, loaded kernel) or the kernel headers for the exact ver of your kernel. dpkg -l|grep linux should show you what linux kernel pkg's you have installed.  look for the kernel-image pkg you want to have the exact same version of the kernel-headers pkg
[06:47] <Xenguy> Vilkacis: maybe create a new group, then add the users to that group?
[06:47] <gdb> For example, create the group "staff" and then chgrp -R staff foo/
[06:48] <gdb> placing the users in the staff group
[06:48] <sparkleytone> http://paste.lisp.org/display/23016  <--- usb disconnects and slow performance...i have both apic and acpi off...anyone think they can help?
[06:48] <omar> I'm back fellows, does anyone knows how to configure gdm to make all windows transparent so my wallpaper is always visible ?
[06:48] <Vilkacis> It would be better if I knew what I was doing.
[06:48] <thrice`> is anyone using ubuntu 64 + broadcom dell 1390 ?
[06:48] <thrice`> for wireless
[06:49] <Vilkacis> I just need my apache server php files to be able to edit their own files under their directory, and that seemed like the fastest way to do it. And at least now I can manually edit them as my regular user.
[06:49] <AAA> b000000 broadcom!!!!
[06:49] <gdb> AAA: Any idea why Ubuntu ships a linux-kernel-headers package that won't work with the shipping linux-image package?  I have a feeling that they probably work together just fine, and that there's some other misconfiguration going on here.  I can't imagine that something that egregious would slip out into release.
[06:49] <omar> nop.... haven't used ubuntu 64
[06:49] <gdb> Vilkacis: Then you need to change the ownership of the files to www-data.
[06:49] <Xenguy> Vilkacis: man addgroup  and  man adduser (or find some GUI :-)
[06:49] <Xenguy> Vilkacis: oh
[06:50] <AAA> gdb  I haven't seen his pkg list have you? I doubt that is the deal
[06:50] <bilss_> hi
[06:50] <Vilkacis> gdb: How do I remove the current 'all' permissions and give the directory to www-data, then?
[06:50] <gdb> Vilkacis: The webserver will run your php scripts as www-data as that's the user it runs as itself.  If they're owned by www-data, then the webserver will have permission to modify them.
[06:50] <AAA> Vilkacis  man chmod
[06:50] <Mattchewie> SHABANG!
[06:50] <Mattchewie> ...its a pepper :P
[06:50] <gdb> Vilkacis: find foo -type f -print exec chmod 644 {} \;
[06:50] <Vilkacis> I already did man chmod, that really didn't help, as I had no idea about www-data when I read it, thus making it completely useless.
[06:51] <AAA> Vilkacis  chmod a-x /dir removes the execute bit from the /dir directory
[06:51] <gdb> Vilkacis: find foo -type d -print exec chmod 755 {} \;
[06:51] <omar> does anyone knows how to configure gdm to make all windows transparent ?
[06:51] <Vilkacis> gdb: So run those 3 lines?
[06:51] <limes24> so, I installed Ubuntu on a Compaq tonight, and all was going well.. until I installed updates and tried to restart.
[06:51] <Xenguy> Vilkacis: /var/www should be owned by root; subdirectories can be assigned to different groups and users as convenient
[06:51] <limes24> the computer doesn't run at all anymore..
[06:51] <Mattchewie> limes24, what kind of compaq ?
[06:52] <gdb> Vilkacis: The two lines I provided will set all your scripts to rw-r--r-- and all your directories to rwxr-xr-x (under the directory foo).
[06:52] <AAA> Vilkacis  chmod - change perms chown - change owner chgrp change group
[06:52] <limes24> an oldish desktop..
[06:52] <gdb> Vilkacis: You can modify that as you like.
[06:52] <limes24> Celeron ~766, 192MB RAM.
[06:52] <limes24> nothing too exciting, but it ran alright before the restart
[06:52] <Mattchewie> limes24, I run it on a compaq v2000z and it runs like butta :P
[06:52] <gdb> then you'd run the chown -R www-data.www-data foo command (that will set the user and group ownerships to www-data.
[06:52] <bilss_> how to set environment in ~.bash after installing source files
[06:52] <jmauricio> algum do brasil ai
[06:53] <AAA> gdb that will do it recursively and he said he didn't want that?
[06:53] <Vilkacis> gdb: The first one did not work. 'Paths must proceed expression'. I replaced 'foo' with 'matrix'
[06:53] <noiesmo> chown -R www-data:www-data
[06:53] <gdb> Vilkacis: Well, you need to be above the directory you're modifying.  Apparently you do not want this to be recursive?  What is it you're trying to modify?
[06:53] <jmauricio> algum do brasil ai
[06:53] <Mattchewie> limes24, what is doing? ...does it boot at all or does it panic on boot o...whats up?
[06:54] <gdb> !br
[06:54] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br  ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigada.
[06:54] <Vilkacis> I have no idea what you mean by recursive.
[06:54] <gdb> Vilkacis: Meaning "the directory and all files and directories under it"
[06:54] <limes24> no video output at all, so no messages
[06:54] <limes24> onboard video, too.
[06:54] <Mattchewie> limes24, even on boot up there is no video ?
[06:54] <gdb> Xenguy: It's necessary under some conditions but those are very rare and generally only necessary on a very temporary basis.
[06:54] <limes24> yeah.
[06:55] <limes24> well, the machine never reall shut down properly by itself
[06:55] <gdb> Xenguy: So overall, yes, I question the wisdom of doing it also. ;-)
[06:55] <Vilkacis> gdb: I gave EVERYONE permissions to the 'matrix' directory, using the chown command I was given a bit ago. And now it is suggested that I return it to just www-data, so what do I need to type to do that?
[06:55] <Vilkacis> gdb: And yes, that directory and all directories benieth it.
[06:55] <Xenguy> gdb: agreed - I remember reading some article that advised against just chowning everything to www-data (IIRC :-)
[06:55] <omar> limes24: Have you tried boot from any live CD like knoppix or Ubuntu live ?
[06:55] <limes24> after all the logout info, it just sat there in limbo, so I switched it off
[06:55] <gdb> Vilkacis: chmod 755 foo -- that will remove the "everyone" permissions from the directory.

[06:56] <gdb> Vilkacis: Then add -R after the chmod.  chmod -R
[06:56] <Xenguy> Vilkacis: everything under a directory
[06:56] <Mattchewie> limes24, did you use the live cd to install xubuntu?
[06:56] <Xenguy> Vilkacis: including sub-directories
[06:56] <Vilkacis> gdb: OK, now how do I recursively give www-data access to the directory?
[06:56] <AAA> isn't : deprecated in favor of .

[06:57] <omar> limes24: I have a feeling about damage on your HDD
[06:57] <gdb> the / is unecessary but indicates that you're acting on a directory (for you, the computer doesn't care).

[06:57] <Vilkacis> gdb: Testing.
[06:57] <nootrope> can anyone tell me why i'm getting a not found error on checkinstall. i'm following instructions on the wiki on installing  some packages and one of the lines of code lists checkinstall

[06:57] <gdb> Sola6662: us.archive.ubuntu.com is down, please use archive.ubuntu.com in your /etc/apt/sources.list.
[06:57] <Sola6662> oh ok thank the lords
[06:57] <bilss_>  how to set environment in ~.bash after installing source packages

[06:57] <Vilkacis> gdb: It appears to work fine now. Thank you.
[06:58] <limes24> I formatted the (40GB Maxtor) HD during the install process, and it all went fine

[06:58] <Qwell> chown [options]  user[:group]  file...
[06:58] <Qwell> from the chown manpage
[06:58] <gdb> bilss_: Add something like "export VARIABLE=value-you-want" in your .bash_profile filke.
[06:58] <Sola6662> gdb how i add it to the sources list?
[06:58] <gdb> file*
[06:58] <omar> does anyone knows wich is the Windows manager configuration for gdm in Ubuntu ?
[06:58] <Qwell> also from the manpage: POSIX 1003.2 does not allow use of the dot as separator between user name and group name.
[06:58] <gdb> Sola6662: You can edit /etc/apt/sources.list by running the command "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" in a terminal.
[06:59] <Flannel> gdb, Sola6662, gksudo instead of sudo for gedit
[06:59] <Sola6662> ok then just add the link?
[06:59] <gdb> Qwell: That's absolutely correct, however, the chown command accepts that syntax (as it does on every other Unix I've used).
[06:59] <Riyo> gksudo is root right?
[06:59] <Qwell> gdb: But it won't, eventually.  Just like tail -1
[06:59] <Flannel> Sola6662: you'll be editing the current url, not adding.
[06:59] <Flannel> Riyo: gksudo is sudo for graphical apps
[06:59] <gdb> Flannel: Either works fine.   The only value add that gtksudo provides is a window to enter your password in rather than a text prompt.
[07:00] <gdb> Qwell: It's been "eventually" for some 10 years now.
[07:00] <Flannel> gdb: no, sudo can cause problems.
[07:00] <Qwell> gdb: :)
[07:00] <Commander-Crowe> is the apt-get up yet?
[07:00] <Riyo> oh...
[07:00] <poje> Flannel: not often
[07:00] <eternalswd> first question is does anyone know how to change the colors of the gnome notification popup?
[07:00] <Qwell> gdb: They really mean it this time. :p
[07:00] <Riyo> sudo is root then?
[07:00] <Mattchewie> limes24, I would say reinstall if its not too much trouble. The us repo's ....where...are down so maybe that might the root of the updateing borking your system
[07:00] <gdb> Qwell: lol
[07:00] <AAA> Qwell  crap I had it backwards, its RMS that is doing this!
[07:00] <gdb> Yes, user:group is more correct than user.group.
[07:00] <Broadcast> hey
[07:00] <Qwell> "guys...seriously...I'm gonna remove this..."
[07:00] <Qwell> "c'mon, please?"
[07:00] <bilss_> gdb: thanks so if i install several packages some being deps to others i type what I understand export, say the package is called joe please give me an example
[07:01] <Broadcast> guys, how do i give root powers to my account
[07:01] <nootrope> duh. about checkinstall...it's not installed.
[07:01] <Broadcast> a normal account
[07:01] <eternalswd> second question is does anyone know how to modify the alt-tab list to show the titles of all the windows and not just the selected one?
[07:01] <gdb> bilss_: What are you trying to modify?  What environment variable and what value are you looking to set?
[07:01] <limes24> should I download 6.05 or whatever if I'm going to reinstall anyway?
[07:01] <Mattchewie> limes24, actually......I would even suggest using the dapper version of xubuntu if your looking for something light
[07:01] <Vilkacis> Broadcast: su
[07:01] <AAA> Broadcast  visudo as root
[07:01] <Qwell> limes24: 6.0.6
[07:01] <poje> Broadcast: add it to the admin group
[07:01] <Qwell> 6.06
[07:01] <limes24> aah
[07:01] <gdb> Broadcast: If you want to use sudo, then add them to the group "admin" under Ubuntu.
[07:01] <limes24> why xubuntu over ubuntu?
[07:01] <Sola6662> gdb whats the part do i change?
[07:01] <gdb> There is no need to edit /etc/sudoers.
[07:02] <gdb> Sola6662: Everywhere it says "us.archive.ubuntu.com" change it to "archive.ubuntu.com".
[07:02] <limes24> aah, lightweight. that looks nice.
[07:02] <AAA> gdb  you can give more control over su powers via sudoers than groups
[07:02] <poje> AAA: usually unnecessary though
[07:02] <gdb> AAA: That's absolutely right, but I'm guessing is outside the scope of his question.
[07:02] <bilss_> gbd: i have not installed anything yet but i can give you the name of the source packages and its deps if you want me to
[07:02] <AAA> yes and yes
[07:02] <Qwell> man, this partition has been running for like...
[07:02] <Sola6662> so like this http://archive.ubuntu.com?
[07:02] <Qwell> 1.5 hours?
[07:03] <Qwell> and it's only on disk 1
[07:03] <Mattchewie> limes24, thats what I currenlty use on my laptop and it works great. So far, the best xfce centric distro I have sued
[07:03] <Commander-Crowe> APT-GET IS STILL DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[07:03] <Commander-Crowe> !caps
[07:03] <limes24> right on.
[07:03] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[07:03] <gdb> Sola6662: That is correct.  If that does not work, then you may be out of luck.  I'd suggest copying your current sources.list to a new name (perhaps sources.list.20060723) so you can easily restore it to the original configuration at a later date.
[07:03] <poje> Mattchewie: how well does suing distros go?
[07:03] <poje> Commander-Crowe: take out the us. part?
[07:03] <Sola6662> gdb like this "http://archive.ubuntu.com"
[07:03] <poje> Sola6662: yes
[07:03] <Commander-Crowe> poje: it isn't there
[07:03] <tripppy> how do i repair/recover a ubuntu install?
[07:03] <Sola6662> oh ok
[07:03] <garryF> That partition isn't running Qwell, its walkin. You sure that drive is ok?
[07:03] <AAA> suing distos? WTF
[07:03] <Broadcast> not working
[07:03] <Sola6662> thx
[07:03] <Mattchewie> poje, hahah very well :P
[07:03] <gdb> Sola6662: That is correct.  Like I said, you may want to back up your current file to a new name so you can easily back out of any changes.
[07:04] <Broadcast> still gives me the error
[07:04] <Broadcast> Cannot move "/home/omra...-1.2.0.18" to the trash because you do not have permissions to change it or its parent folder.
[07:04] <Qwell> garryF: positive
[07:04] <Broadcast> when i try to delete a folder
[07:04] <`DaGuy> gdb - will there be a need to change back to "us" at a later date ?
[07:04] <poje> Commander-Crowe: try uk. then, worked for me
[07:04] <nootrope> Commander-Crowe: mine worked after taking out us.
[07:04] <Qwell> garryF: It's a sparc though, partitioning a SAS drive, so I don't expect much out of it
[07:04] <poje> Mattchewie: most excellent ;d
[07:04] <Commander-Crowe> poje: ok but I think I'll need someone to hold my hand
[07:04] <limes24> Ubuntu is only the second type of linux I've used, after a disaster trying to get Debian running on this machine

[07:04] <AAA> debian sucks to install for your first linux
[07:04] <limes24> hehe, you're telling me
[07:05] <bilss_> gbd: i have not installed anything yet but i can give you the name of the source packages and its deps if you want me to
[07:05] <AAA> debian is just horrible blan and simple
[07:05] <gdb> Broadcast: The permissions on a directory determine 3 things.  The ability of users to create files, to delete files, and to see what files are present.  The permissions on files themselves determine (likewise) 3 things, the permission to read a file, to modify a file, and to execute a file.
[07:05] <Sola6662> gdb i got that done now whats next?
[07:05] <poje> Commander-Crowe: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list, then change all the us.archive to uk.archive

[07:06] <limes24> no, this is on x86 compaq hardware
[07:06] <gdb> Broadcast: Meaning if you want to move files (read: delete them from that directory) then you need write permissions to the directory the files are in.
[07:06] <farous> :)
[07:06] <poje> chemaja: yeah, just got there ;)
[07:06] <limes24> I don't want to mess up any of my Macs.. heh

[07:15] <henzo> lo intentare
[07:15] <henzo> OK
[07:15] <gdb> Broadcast: You can but it's an extremely extremely extremely bad thing to do.  You would edit /etc/profile and change the umask from 022 to 020.
[07:15] <farous> fivre: man netstat i always use netstat tup
[07:15] <omar> does anyone knows how to configure gdm so I can use transparent windows ?
[07:15] <hostel> Hey what is this chat thing is this part of the HI Hostel groip
[07:15] <bilss_> gdb: its dead simple i am going to install some packages  apt-get source name of package place them in src directory to you get me
[07:15] <gdb> Broadcast: That will default directories to rwxr-xrwx rather than rwxr-xr-x.
[07:15] <Munchkinguy> I know that I can get MIDI support from EasyUbuntu, but why doesn't it come with Ubuntu. Is it a non-free standard?
[07:16] <gdb> bilss_: What does that have to do with modifying your environment?
[07:16] <phunkalicious> am i wrong or can totem not play subtitles :(
[07:16] <Methodeux> I'm in need of some assistance.  I'm looking for some ways to visually enhance my desktop experirence,
[07:16] <omar> like what Methodeux ?
[07:16] <phargle> Methodeux: lsd
[07:16] <Methodeux> I tried XGL/Compiz..  couldn't get it to work, though I can't say that's specifically what I was looking for.
[07:17] <Methodeux> I'm looking for something more along the lines of a really sophisticated theme system.
[07:17] <AAA> mmmm lsd...
[07:17] <chunksoul> so
[07:17] <tripppy> how do i fix kernel panics on bootup?
[07:17] <deshantm_> !lsd
[07:17] <ubotu> I know nothing about lsd - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[07:17] <bilss_> gdb: ok i understand in te past when i have installed source packages i have difficulty (once they are installed ) accessing them from the command line
[07:17] <deshantm_> what is lsd?
[07:17] <AAA> I know a thing or two about lsd :)
[07:18] <AAA> haha
[07:18] <phargle> :)
[07:18] <chunksoul> i forgot the password to a ubuntu
[07:18] <gdb> Munchkinguy: MIDI is encumbered by patents.
[07:18] <AAA> llol
[07:18] <chunksoul> any idea how to reset the root password
[07:18] <chunksoul> i tried booting into single mode
[07:18] <garryF> Linux System Dicovery - Detects the hardware.
[07:18] <chunksoul> didn't seem to work
[07:18] <bilss_> gdb: i am told you need to set $PATH
[07:18] <gdb> bilss_: You don't run source packages, you build them into binary packages and then install the binary packages.
[07:18] <Munchkinguy> gdb: is there a free midi format?
[07:18] <painkiler> hey guys
[07:18] <phunkalicious> can someone tell me why totem freezes when trying to load a subtitle file?
[07:18] <Xenguy> !root
[07:18] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[07:19] <Methodeux> GTK themes blow.  :|
[07:19] <omar> Have you checked Fluxbox Methodeus ?
[07:19] <omar> Methodeux : www.fluxbox.org
[07:19] <Methodeux> No, omar.  I've heard of it.  I'll go check it out.
[07:19] <painkiler> I just reinstalled windows on my dual boot box. I knew it would erase grub, but I don't know how to get grub back to normal
[07:19] <AAA> chunksoul  sudo passwd
[07:19] <bilss_> gdb:yes i mean build
[07:19] <AAA> chunksoul  type your user passwd then a new root
[07:19] <Methodeux> Whatever happened to Enlightenment?
[07:19] <painkiler> I am in the live cd atm
[07:19] <chunksoul> i can't remember any password to the machine
[07:19] <gdb> Munchkinguy: No, there isn't as far as I know.  The only free music formats I'm aware of (or that can be used for music) are .au, .snd, .wav, .ogg, and .flac (don't know the extension for that one).  There may be more I'm not aware of.
[07:19] <Methodeux> The last time I was tinkering with Linux, that was the hot thing.
[07:20] <chunksoul> it's an old server
[07:20] <goatmale> I accidenty delted the thing on top that tells me what programs are open
[07:20] <goatmale> how do I fix that?
[07:20] <gdb> bilss_: You're trying to build raw source or a debian source package?
[07:20] <garryF> check out in goggle about grubfarm, its a site that tells you how to recover via grub, reinstall it etc etc.
[07:20] <AAA> chunksoul  checkout john the ripper then ;)
[07:20] <omar> I'm not shure.... haven't used Elinghtment !
[07:21] <kuzmaster> painkiler, get into terminal, and run grub
[07:21] <pepsi> painkiler, mount your root partition somewhere, then run grub-install, showing it where to find the /boot directory
[07:21] <gdb> Methodeux: It's still around, however it's pretty much relegated to the ricer crowd. ;-)
[07:21] <kuzmaster> !grub
[07:21] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[07:21] <Broadcast> ok, i changed the 022 in the profile
[07:21] <painkiler> I know
[07:21] <Broadcast> now what
[07:21] <limes24> so, my system has video working now, but it dies with a kernel panic: not syncing: attempting to kill init!
[07:21] <painkiler> just did that
[07:21] <Broadcast> i cant delete stuff still
[07:21] <AAA> kill init! who needs it...
[07:21] <gdb> Broadcast: That's pretty much it.  You'll need to relog for changes to take place or just type "umask 020" on the commnad line, create a directory, and see what happens.
[07:21] <goatmale>  I accidenty delted the thing on top that tells me what programs are open how can I get it back?
[07:21] <limes24> but now I kind of want to reinstall to get xubuntu anyway
[07:21] <Broadcast> MMM
[07:21] <Broadcast> well
[07:21] <Broadcast> brb
[07:21] <AAA> goatmale  screen -ls works for me =p
[07:22] <omar> Hold it :) I will prepare my coffe :)
[07:22] <farous> goatmale: right click on the panel and add window list
[07:22] <kuzmaster> painkiler, when i had that problem, just go into the grub bash , and ran somtihng like update grub
[07:22] <farous> if that what you are looking for
[07:22] <Mattchewie> limes24, how did you get that up and running?
[07:22] <gdb> afk for a bit
[07:22] <limes24> I just waited for a while and tried it again
[07:22] <AAA> gdb for know for a bit?
[07:22] <Broadcast> still man

[07:36] <nechto13> sktx: yes, but i can try it to make sure. i had a problem with xorg.conf when i had too many resolutions added to it resulted in my monitor displaying a black screen instead of logon, since i fixed it the problem might have gone away though
[07:36] <tpelliott> I'm a newbie.  I need help accessing my ubuntu network from Windows XP.  I can type in the location and it tries to connect but it won't accept the name and password I use to log into ubuntu.
[07:37] <philc> from what pkg can I get the builddeb command?
[07:37] <Broadcast> how do i reset the fstab file
[07:37] <deshantm_> tpelliott, how are you trying to access it?
[07:37] <analiser> deshantm_,  the problem is, i have so much modules load, and i put the card on monitor mode
[07:38] <farous> tpelliott: do you have ssh server installed or how you connect ot it
[07:38] <AAA> sktx  no, but it filters the questions I answer to a minimum :)

[07:39] <AAA> screen is better than minicom for serial comm too
[07:40] <Qwell> screen does serial?
[07:40] <deshantm_> analiser, you will need to find the code and rebuild the module
[07:40] <tpelliott> I'm tryint to access it by typint "//<name>" in Windows Explorer
[07:40] <AAA> tpelliott  \\

[07:40] <philc> how can I tell which deb provided a file on my hard drive?
[07:40] <Commander-Crowe> tpelliott: I think you need to set up samba

[07:48] <Commander-Crowe> nrdb: install lib mad0 and libdvdread3
[07:48] <gdb> bilss_: Just enable Universe in /etc/apt/sources.list, apt-get update, apt-get install mixmaster
[07:48] <fluxinator> it states that ossibly the glade interface description was corrupted.
[07:48] <nrdb> Commander-Crowe: what repository?
[07:49] <gdb> bilss_: You can use System -> Administration -> Sofware Properties to add Universe.
 may not work so well
[07:49] <philc> AAA: I'm building deb packages for distribution of some software I'm making. You do that with the program debbuild, which would reside in /bin if it were installed
[07:49] <Commander-Crowe> you have to enable both multiverse and universe
[07:49] <ivis> Hi,where i can find the cool games like rpg style on ubuntu please help me!

[07:52] <bilss_> gdb: and its deps for mixmaster?
[07:53] <RaCarter> is there something wrong with us.archive.ubuntu.com apt-get repository?
[07:53] <skavenge> jmichaelx: have you tried going into xine and turning the brightness down?
[07:53] <Qwell> jesus, don't people read the topic?
[07:53] <RaCarter> I just want to do $sudo apt-get install gftp
[07:53] <Commander-Crowe> RaCarter: yes
[07:53] <RaCarter> but it never can connect
[07:53] <Qwell> You'd think the ubuntu guys would've changed the dns by now too :p
[07:53] <codecaine> where is index.html locate when you install apache 2?
[07:54] <Broadcast> ok
[07:54] <Qwell> /var/www/htdocs/ ?
[07:54] <Broadcast> i need help
[07:54] <RaCarter> how do you know if your net interface in promiscuous mode?
[07:54] <fluxinator> An error occurred while loading user interface element local_background_image_chooserbutton from file /usr/share/gdm/gdmsetup.glade.  Possibly the glade interface description was corrupted.. please help
[07:54] <Qwell> RaCarter: ifconfig says promisc, I believe
[07:54] <queuebert> Jeez, we might read it if there weren't 7 lines of links before the relevant information.
[07:54] <Broadcast> i have a folder
[07:54] <jmichaelx> skavenge: yes, i have turned it all the way down, but it is still too bright
[07:54] <nechto13> fluxinator: no biggie. i should probably ask on the forum anyway
[07:54] <Broadcast> which has dr-x------
[07:54] <Broadcast> 500
[07:54] <farous> No1Viking: the only thing i see is that your device aticonf-device 0 do not have the busid for the card
[07:54] <bilss_> gbd: so first do apt-get source mixmaster then apt-get build-dep mixmaster?
[07:54] <farous> No1Viking: other then that seems ok
[07:54] <Qwell> Broadcast: Linux doesn't have folders
[07:54] <codecaine> theres not htdocs
[07:54] <Broadcast> now i need to change it and make it free for all to view, edit
[07:54] <RaCarter> i just did ifconfig eth0 -promisc a few minutes ago
[07:54] <Broadcast> ?
[07:55] <skavenge> maybe try gstreamer back end, xine doesnt work well for me either
[07:55] <codecaine> theres a apache2-default there
[07:55] <RaCarter> then I do ifconfig eth0 | grep "promisc"
[07:55] <RaCarter> nothing
[07:55] <No1Viking> farous, what should it be instead and how do I check it?
[07:55] <digital> before I log out are there any other Ubuntu servers that are off line?
[07:56] <Qwell> digital: I couldn't seem to hit one of the .ca servers earlier..
[07:56] <bilss_> gdb: i tend to use aptitude thats ok?
[07:56] <Qwell> or, rather, ca.
[07:56] <farous> look at the device above it it shoudl be the last line in it to be added to the aticonfig-device o, add the line BusID   "PCI:1:0:0"
[07:56] <fluxinator> Any possible help ?????? An error occurred while loading user interface element local_background_image_chooserbutton from file /usr/share/gdm/gdmsetup.glade.  Possibly the glade interface description was corrupted.  gdm cannot continue and will exit now.
[07:56] <jmichaelx> you would be well advised to just quit using  the .us servers, they are on the blink most of the time
[07:56] <digital> Qwell: ca? Where is that?
[07:56] <Commander-Crowe> all of us is down
[07:56] <Qwell> canada
[07:56] <Commander-Crowe> use uk
[07:56] <RaCarter> does anyone know how to take your net interface off of promiscuous mode?
[07:56] <Commander-Crowe> cali
[07:56] <Commander-Crowe> ??
[07:56] <Commander-Crowe> oops
[07:56] <Commander-Crowe> I mean Canada

[07:57] <protestingrab> that is the error for one file out of many
[07:57] <No1Viking> farous, I dont understand where to do the changes
[07:57] <Qwell> digital: yes, ubuntu was bought my Microsoft, and is being shut down


[07:57] <No1Viking> BBL, breakfast
[07:57] <Commander-Crowe> digital: lol no it hasn't
[07:58] <digital> Maybe this has something to do with the root exploit in the kernel
[07:58] <digital> Qwell: Lol
[07:58] <protestingrab> just wondering if anyone else had the same problem and knew how to fix it
[07:58] <fluxinator> Qwell: sorry about that but my questions are being snowed in
[07:58] <RaCarter> if I do ifconfig eth0 -promisc twice... the second time it will turn off promisc mode?
[07:58] <phrizer> Is there no way to install Dapper without having to boot the live cd? Like you use to be able to do. The live CD is really causing it to be very unresponsive.
[07:58] <Commander-Crowe> digital: there just updating it'll be up soon
[07:58] <jay> how do u get rid of the "Mesa" string when u type "fglrxinfo", i hav an ATI card
[07:58] <digital> Commander-Crowe: I see
[07:58] <farous> No1Viking: open the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and scroll down to Section Device  , Identifer aticonfig-Device[0] "
[07:58] <Qwell> jay: Why do you want to get rid of Mesa?
[07:59] <digital> Well, I got apt working and rebuilt my mail server. I think it's been a good day.
[07:59] <quietas> Wondering the same Phrizer, a boot disk cdrom or net install is what I am looking for also
[07:59] <digital> By all
[07:59] <spades> i think the alternate cd has a text mode installed, not sure on that though
[07:59] <Qwell> phrizer, quietas: I'm currently installing via net boot
[08:00] <bilss_> gdb: there is one more package  here http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/dapper/mail/echolot which i will need is the same principle applied atp-get sorce echlolot?
[08:00] <Qwell> somebody make my partitioning go faster
[08:00] <fluxinator> I am having a GDM problem, particularly with System>Administration>Login Window
[08:00] <quietas> Qwell: How are you doing it?
[08:01] <Qwell> quietas: I used the net boot installer..
[08:01] <Qwell> from...
[08:01] <fluxinator> An error occurred while loading user interface element local_background_image_chooserbutton from file /usr/share/gdm/gdmsetup.glade.  Possibly the glade interface description was corrupted.  gdm cannot continue and will exit now. this is the error message
[08:01] <phrizer> I had to install an older version prior to dapper, that i had laying around, because dapper's livecd install system was extremely unresponsive.
[08:01] <Qwell> http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper-updates/main/installer-sparc/current/images/sparc64/netboot/2.6/  - obviously, that's for sparc, but...
[08:01] <phrizer> then i couldnt use the dapper cd to update.
[08:02] <Commander-Crowe> bye all
[08:02] <Commander-Crowe> gotta go to work :(
[08:02] <Qwell> 3 hours to partition a drive...
[08:02] <Qwell> I think it's stalled. :P
[08:02] <Broadcast> hey
[08:02] <fluxinator> IS THERE anyone who can help?!
[08:02] <Broadcast> i'm getting back to xp

[08:03] <Broadcast> how do i install windows from inside linux
[08:03] <Broadcast> no boot disk
[08:03] <Qwell> quietas: better hope it can pxe boot
[08:03] <AAA> RaCarter  actually promisc enables it and -promisc disables it
[08:03] <fluxinator> An error occurred while loading user interface element local_background_image_chooserbutton from file /usr/share/gdm/gdmsetup.glade.  Possibly the glade interface description was corrupted.  gdm cannot continue and will exit now.

[08:04] <polpak> Broadcast: you get a bootable windows install CD
[08:04] <Qwell> hey, neat, you can ctrl-c the partition tool over serial console
[08:04] <AAA> fluxinator  does that file even exist?
[08:04] <Broadcast> i dont have
[08:04] <ToHellWithGA> is there a way i can tail my apache2 access.log into a webpage so the links are links and such?  some kind of live parsing
[08:04] <quietas> Qwell: no idea, smart boot manager had no luck
[08:05] <fluxinator> AAA I dont think so, but ill double check
[08:05] <nrdb> I am trying to play a DVD totem is saying that I dont have the appropriate plugins I have install mad0 and libdvdread3 what else do I need?
[08:05] <DarkMageZ> hi, what ip address is wiki.ubuntu.com suppost to resolve to?
[08:06] <cius> hey hey all
[08:06] <AAA> fluxinator  then maybe you are missing some glade libs or some'n try: dpkg -l|grep glade
[08:06] <cius> is it okay to go ass to mouth?
[08:06] <RaCarter> thanks AAA
[08:06] <AAA> fluxinator  then apt-cache search glade gnome
[08:06] <RaCarter> in promisc mode... you will only be able to pick up packets on that switch?
[08:07] <RaCarter> i have one router and some pc's connected to it.. and then some other ones connected through a switch
[08:07] <fluxinator> AAA everything seems there
[08:07] <A-L-P-H-A> is the wiki working for anyone?
[08:07] <AAA> RaCarter  not exactly. promisc means it listens to traffic "more intently" it actually seeks out more information from arp replies and such
[08:07] <DarkMageZ> A-L-P-H-A, it's down for me
[08:08] <ExVate> hola
[08:08] <A-L-P-H-A> DarkMageZ, dang. okay. thanks.
[08:08] <DarkMageZ> A-L-P-H-A, i've had other reports of it working for other users
[08:08] <nrdb> A-L-P-H-A: it is down here too
[08:08] <AAA> fluxinator  if the file is on your system then I can only offer basic troubleshooting advise
[08:08] <RaCarter> I am just noticing that I am not picking up much traffic on the pc with the switch
[08:08] <ExVate> alguien habla espaol?
[08:08] <RaCarter> and I don't seem to pick up that much from my wireless router either...
[08:08] <limes24> hablo un poco de espaol
[08:08] <fluxinator> maybe glade common is what I need
[08:08] <AAA> RaCarter  sudo apt-get install ettercap ;-)
[08:09] <Madpilot> !es
[08:09] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[08:09] <AAA> RaCarter  ettercap -G
[08:09] <RaCarter> is ettercap different than ethereal?
[08:09] <AAA> RaCarter  what are you using to monitore tcp/ip e'tal
[08:10] <AAA> RaCarter  yah
[08:10] <nrdb> What plugin do I need for totem to play a DVD?
[08:10] <soaper> hey, I have a question about gtk?
[08:10] <fluxinator> WTF? how the hell are mplayer and glade linked?
[08:10] <AAA> ethereal reads/monitors packects, ettercap mangels/destroys/hacks packets

[08:11] <skavenge> ack sorry
[08:11] <DarkMageZ> A-L-P-H-A, when u ping wiki.ubuntu.com ,does it redirect to palmer.ubuntu.com?
[08:11] <AAA> mmmm captain css
[08:12] <skavenge> nrdb: did you get that? its the install script you need to run after installing libdvdread3 ..
[08:13] <RaCarter> so -promisc stops promiscuous and promisc (without dash) starts it?
[08:13] <RaCarter> or the other way around?
[08:13] <fluxinator> GLADE=CANCER
[08:13] <AAA> RaCarter  I am not going to tell you. trial and error "wax on...wax off"
[08:13] <soaper> Okay, um, how do I set an environment variable in GTK?
[08:14] <soaper> Because whenever I run a certain program, the debug script generated,
[08:14] <nrdb> skavenge: ok I did that but still totem is saying it doesn't have the appropriate plugin?
[08:14] <soaper> says that "--disable-crash-dialog = 1"
[08:14] <soaper> even though I want it to equal 0
[08:14] <soaper> Running the program with the option results in a "invalid option method"
[08:14] <soaper> so where do I put the option?
[08:15] <fluxinator> AAA i am really lost
[08:15] <Deham> Quick question.  Can you install ubuntu on an external hard drive like your F: drive instead of your normal C: drive which runs windows?
[08:15] <skavenge> nrdb: i dont think if your using totem-gstreamer backend it will work, it either has to be totem-xine or another player, vlc, mplayer, xine
[08:16] <nrdb> skavenge: do you think I should install totem-xine then?
[08:17] <AAA> fluxinator  sup
[08:17] <fluxinator> dude I really don't know why the hell im getting this error
[08:17] <ku> !java
[08:17] <ubotu> java is an object oriented programming language. To install a java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java For the runtime Sun Java install sun-java5-jre from the Multiverse repository
[08:17] <skavenge> nrdb: personally totem-xine is bad for me i just use another player for dvd and keep totem-gstreamer for the rest but its up to you, it might work fine for your setup
[08:18] <fluxinator> then I get X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 169

[08:20] <roe> does ubuntu maintain a repo for installable gdm themes?
[08:20] <fluxinator> AAA any suggestions
[08:20] <skavenge> roe: no, but if you browse gnome-look.org the majority of the themes you can just drag right into the theme manager to add
[08:20] <roe> ok, thanx
[08:21] <A-L-P-H-A> DarkMageZ, it goes to 82.211.81.150
[08:22] <DarkMageZ> A-L-P-H-A, same here. hmm

[08:25] <test> hello
[08:26] <test> can anybody tell me how to get the gtk greeter option back in GDM?
[08:26] <roe> all of the themes I try to install are saying "invalid file format"
[08:27] <A-L-P-H-A> DarkMageZ, thanks... was only looking to see how I could easily maintain multiple wifi connections from different locations... work/starbucks/home, using WPA and open.
[08:27] <roe> any idea why that would be?

[08:30] <morphix> is there a bug on xfce? when i go to menu editor it clears the normal menu and now i am stuck with no menu at all, so i have to try to reconfigure the menu via a terminal window :/
[08:30] <morphix> !ping
[08:30] <ubotu> pong
[08:30] <morphix> seems kinda lagged in  here.
[08:31] <durt> theres an xfce menu editor?
[08:31] <morphix> lol yes there is.
[08:32] <morphix> to edit xfce's app menu, except it clears when u go into menu editor :/
[08:32] <morphix> so now i have no menu at all now
[08:32] <zymorph> where can I download various xfce desktop themes?
[08:32] <nathanj> is the wiki down?
[08:33] <sam__> _samp_
[08:33] <gdb> morphix: If you want to restore it, it had to be set somehow when you first logged in with no configuration so I'd suggest figuring out where the menu is configured (in your home directory) and deleting that config (from a tty while not logged in via X) and then logging into the desktop again. That will allow xfce to detect that you have no configurating and recreate the default.
[08:33] <polpak> !theme
[08:33] <ubotu> Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://kdelook.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuEyeCandy
[08:33] <zymorph> thanks!
[08:33] <test> can anybody tell me how to get the gtk greeter option back in GDM?
[08:34] <gdb> test: System -> Administration -> Login Window -- it's in there somewhere.  It's also pretty obvious once you find it.
[08:34] <sam__> yo found it
[08:35] <morphix> gdb: well the issue is, i have no xfce menu config saved anywhere in my home folder, also why the heck would the xfce menu editor totally delete the current menu thats default? i just want to ammend to the current menu
[08:35] <test> gdb: I looked in there, but i migt have missed it, I'll look again thanks
[08:35] <cwillu> is there anyway to make macromedia flash work on a 64bit kernel?

[08:36] <Bonzai15> hi everyone
[08:36] <sam__> fuck
[08:36] <gdb> teun: Sure thing
[08:36] <Mattchewie> the menu editor ...at least in xubunut doesn't seem to list applications and such, it just lets you edit things like ....showing run and logout options and other high leve menu items
[08:36] <Mattchewie> ...weird
[08:36] <gdb> morphix: I'm honestly not familiar with xfce.  There is no .xfce or similarly named directory in your home directory?
[08:37] <Mattchewie> morphix, have you treid to query the xubuntu channel?
[08:37] <montag> Hey all. help.ubuntu.com and the wiki are down, so I decided to come here for some help.
[08:38] <morphix> hmm.. well i found a blank xfce menu config... and no i havent asked xubutnu channel.
[08:38] <montag> Looking to get WMVs playing in Dapper. I thought I'd gone through the steps earlier, but I'm not getting any picture. Tried downloading VLC, still no luck.
[08:38] <gdb> morphix: So you found a config file in your home directory that you believe is the menu configuration?
[08:38] <abhinav> how to listen mp3 on ubuntu

[08:39] <gdb> Unfortunately, that page is down!
[08:39] <colk> help.* is down
[08:39] <colk> :P
[08:39] <colk> try eu.archive.ubuntu.com
[08:39] <durt> the menu information should be in /etc/xdg/xfce4/desktop/ i think. as long as thats ok get rid of the corresponding files in ~/.xfce4 or ~/.xdg, and replace them
[08:39] <gdb> abhinav: http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ will get you a utility that makes setting that up easy.
[08:39] <montag> Aye, multimedia page is down tonight.
[08:40] <morphix> gdb: yeh, its xfce4-menu.xml, luckily i still had a terminal open before the menu disappeared.
[08:40] <econthrust> guys, anyone knows where I can change the gnome main menu ubuntu icon to the default gnome foot one?
[08:40] <morphix> actually xfce4-menu1.rc
[08:40] <gdb> morphix: :-D  If that file is empty, then you can rename or delete it (when logged in via tty, NOT the desktop), and then when you log back in, it should be recreated for you (in theory!).
[08:41] <montag> Anyone know how to get WMVs up and running for Dapper?
[08:41] <inazad_> Hi there, I need some help...
[08:41] <gdb> econthrust: Yes, however, it's very very hard to do.
[08:41] <morphix> well its wasnt totally empty but didnt point to anything
[08:41] <econthrust> doesnt matter, pls private me if u know how to do it
[08:41] <morphix> i'll see what happens when i log out and back in
[08:42] <gdb> econthrust: You need to change all of the distributor-logo.png icons (every single one) in /usr/share/icons.  You need to make sure they're all correctly sized, as well.  Of course, that make not work so you'll instead need to download the source package of ubuntu-artwork, replace those icons, and then install your new package.
[08:43] <econthrust> thanks gdb! i get to it :)
[08:43] <gdb> econthrust: I can't say if they're compiled in or not.  That's why I offer two things to try.  I'd suspect that simply replacing them in /usr/share/icons will do it.
[08:44] <gdb> econthrust: On the bright side, there are only 4 of them to replace, but they are different sizes.
[08:44] <econthrust> gdb, ok, i try the easiest one first, then go ahead to the packages
[08:44] <inazad_> I can't go to the Internet with my WiFi connection... only with the Ethernet connection... How I can set up my WiFi connection... ??
[08:45] <ic56> join #vim
[08:45] <gdb> econthrust: Why it's not easy to do out of the box, I have no idea.  It could be that the GNOME team feels it shouldn't be changed without a lot of effort.  But that being said, the Ubuntu philosophy is that you should be able to modify your software to behave however you like. ;-)
[08:46] <cwillu> what was the trick for non-free flash on amd64 then?  something about installing the 32 bit version of firefox?
[08:46] <econthrust> gdb, :) yes, that's "modify as u like" is why i changed from windows 2 month ago, and i love this place :)
[08:46] <inazad_> What's going on with Backports on Ubuntu servers ?
[08:47] <rixth> I can't find any info on Google, but is it likely that Ubuntu will work with an onboard gigabit LAN? The chipset is Vitesse VSC8601
[08:47] <gdb> inazad_: It's not backports, it's us.archive.ubuntu.com which is down.  I don't know if the wiki is on the same server or not, but it's down, too.  I'd suspect a network failure rather than a system failure somewhere.
[08:48] <inazad_> gdb, ohh thats explain why I can't connect :-)
[08:48] <inazad_> gdb, can you help me ?

[08:58] <userundefine> montag, it might be in a repository that's currently down.
[08:58] <userundefine> Commander-Crowe, I feel for you.  Been there myself
[08:58] <yoshiznit123> are the repos in the different countries kept in sync?
[08:58] <poje> montag: you need a diff repo to get w32codecs
[08:58] <poje> !restrictedformats > montag
[08:59] <Commander-Crowe> montag, w32codec isn't there anymore
[08:59] <Commander-Crowe> instead get ffmpeg\

[09:02] <IRCMonkeyx> commctrl: it was only for testing, i wanna know how to call new installed programs in wine and in linux
[09:02] <IRCMonkeyx> poje: in wine
[09:02] <No1Viking> Awesome-o2000, sure was
[09:02] <Veselu> Dev05, it's not about the client
[09:02] <No1Viking> Now I cant get it working with Ubuntu
[09:03] <Veselu> Dev05, it's about the server
[09:03] <warlocky-> Anyone know how to install SSH2 ?
[09:03] <commctrl> snoops, using wine to load a windows program is not preferable to a native linux program that does the same thing
[09:03] <poje> warlocky-: ssh server or client?
[09:03] <Dev05> Veselu, Oh... I got no idea then :(
[09:03] <warlocky-> ssh server
[09:03] <warlocky-> ssh2
[09:03] <poje> warlocky-: ssh2 is supported by the default stuff
[09:03] <warlocky-> I need this for some kind of a gamepanel
[09:03] <montag> Commander-Crowe: Anything else besides ffmpeg? Still not getting video after installing it.
[09:03] <warlocky-> well
[09:03] <poje> sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[09:03] <commctrl> IRCMonkeyx, you'd have to create a launcher yourself
[09:03] <analiser> ssssssss
[09:03] <warlocky-> poje, can we talk in priv for a second?
[09:03] <Veselu> Dev05, who can help  here with suck things?
[09:03] <Commander-Crowe> w32codec isn't video
[09:03] <Commander-Crowe> w32codec is audio
[09:03] <poje> warlocky: sudo apt-get install openssh-server will install an ssh serv for ya
[09:04] <warlocky-> well
[09:04] <warlocky-> I need ssh2
[09:04] <warlocky-> not ssh
[09:04] <Commander-Crowe> you need libdvdread3
[09:04] <IRCMonkeyx> commctrl: some hints?
[09:04] <fyre|work> warlocky-: its the same thing
[09:04] <Dev05> Veselu, What is what you're trying to do?
[09:04] <poje> warlocky-: it's supported
[09:04] <warlocky-> well
[09:04] <warlocky-> not on the gamepanel, for some reason
[09:04] <warlocky-> can you help me out poje? i'll show you
[09:04] <montag> Got that installed.
[09:04] <Veselu> Dev05, can't we talk on private, i've registered my nick!

[09:06] <rixth> Are the nforce5 chipsets supported yet?
[09:06] <poje> *your
[09:07] <No1Viking> poje, sure, please wait
[09:07] <Dev05> Veselu, Do you get my messages in the private window?
[09:07] <IRCMonkeyx> commctrl: one more stupid question, when i search i cant find path of acdsee32, but it is installed i am sure, cause i run it after installation
[09:07] <mdious> I'm heading off, Cya everyone.
[09:08] <montag> Commander-Crowe: No luck with WMV video still.
[09:08] <Commander-Crowe> YEAH

[09:10] <IRCMonkeyx> thanx, lets try
[09:10] <commctrl> why would you have to sudo?
[09:10] <poje> IRCMonkeyx: a "sudo locate -u" could be helpful if you just installed it

[09:14] <^Manu> i'm wondering if anyone can help me with a problem i'm having with ubuntu's bootloader.
[09:14] <frogzoo> !helpme
[09:14] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:15] <guest128> How am I supposed to scroll around on my desktop?
[09:15] <^Manu> i installed ubuntu using its installer. appeared to work fine.. installed the bootloader on the MBR, and then my PC wouldnt boot..
[09:15] <guest128> Not much scrolling to be done, unfortunately
[09:15] <guest128> I figured it was just a resolution problem
[09:15] <^Manu> i'm thinking this may be because i have windows installed in an ATA drive, and i installed linux on a SATA drive.
[09:15] <frogzoo> guest128: try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' & then we'll see
[09:15] <^Manu> and the bootloader couldnt deal with that.
[09:16] <^Manu> i found a win9x cd and restored the MBR, but i dont wanna try it again until i know it'll work, i have too much on this PC to be fucking my partition table.
[09:16] <No1Viking> poje, I'm trying to use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ but it does not take the paste
[09:16] <frogzoo> ^Manu: it should be able to actually - cat /boot/grub/device.map
[09:16] <poje> No1Viking: try pastebin.ca
[09:17] <poje> No1Viking: I never have luck with the ubuntu or .com ones
[09:17] <^Manu> i'm in windows again now. i managed to get it booting again.

[09:19] <pepsi> ^Manu, ive been having a problem with it installing the bootloader onto the wrong hard drive too... i figured it out though.. its because i told the bios to boot from SATA, so grub sees SATA as the first hard drive, but the ubuntu installer sees the PATA drives as being first, so it installed grub to /dev/hda instead of /dev/sda
[09:19] <No1Viking> farous, poje is trying to help out right now
[09:19] <poje> No1Viking: pm me or make a chan, there's no reason to flood the main with our ramblings - I'm looking over your log
[09:19] <guest128> How does one log out from the command line?
[09:19] <farous> No1Viking: goodluck
[09:19] <poje> No1Viking: make a chan and we'll get anyone else wanting to help/watch to join
[09:19] <^Manu> i installed it to on MBR.
[09:20] <No1Viking> ok
[09:20] <pepsi> ^Manu, i was able to just reinstall grub from rescue mode on the cd, but on a subsequent installs, i took out the power connectors from the PATA drives, leaving only SATA
[09:20] <Commander-Crowe> XFCE IS AT 70% AFTER 22 HOURS OF DOWNLOADING!!!!!!!!
[09:20] <pepsi> then after it installed, connect the PATA drives again
[09:20] <^Manu> hmmm
[09:20] <poje> Commander-Crowe: ctrl-c, up key, enter
[09:20] <poje> Commander-Crowe: it will resume
[09:20] <frogzoo> Commander-Crowe: & will stay at 70% until the us repos are backup
[09:20] <^Manu> but then when i install, it wont find the windows partition;
[09:20] <poje> Oh yeah
[09:21] <poje> and change repos ;d
[09:21] <bilss_> hi

[09:21] <No1Viking> poje, join #fglrxprobs
[09:21] <Commander-Crowe> its going fine
[09:21] <pepsi> ^Manu, ok.. then when you install, tell it to install grub to your sata drive.. /dev/sda or whatever, instaed of hd0
[09:21] <No1Viking> and all others that want ot solve the problem I have  :)
[09:21] <No1Viking> #fglrxprobs
[09:21] <ku> I know this sounds like a dumb quetion (and it probably is) but how do I extract a bin file? When I try to open it, it opens it up on a text editor.
[09:22] <^Manu> okay, i dont really understand the bootloader very well.. so i dont understand how where i install it affects anything.
[09:22] <^Manu> it usually recommends to install it on the MBR, and that sounds fine to me...
[09:22] <Commander-Crowe> ku: I'm still asking the smae question
[09:22] <pepsi> ^Manu, when i did that, and i told the bios to boot from SATA, grub was looking for / on the wrong hard drive, so i had to modify the boot line
[09:22] <pepsi> it was trying to boot from hd3,0 instead of hd0,0
[09:22] <^Manu> hmm
[09:22] <pepsi> ^Manu, tell it which disk you want it on

[09:25] <^Manu> okay so you reckon if i install it again, and install grub on the MBR, and it stops my PC from booting.
[09:25] <farous> ok
[09:25] <Commander-Crowe> I'm rejoycing
[09:25] <^Manu> then i can boot from CD in recovery mode and fix it somehow?
[09:26] <Commander-Crowe> howdo I open .bin?
[09:26] <pepsi> frogzoo, yeah, the issue was that during install, my sata drive was hd3 instead of hd0, but then when i boot from the hard drive, it's hd0, so i was able to tell it to install onto /dev/sda, then the bios booted the SATA drive, and i modified the boot entry to be hd0
[09:26] <farous> :)
[09:26] <Commander-Crowe> !bin
[09:26] <ubotu> I know nothing about bin - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[09:26] <dibblego> how do I change what appears in the "Open with" list?
[09:26] <bilss_> frogzoo: hows the winw going
[09:26] <bilss_> wine
[09:26] <Commander-Crowe> anyone?
[09:26] <Commander-Crowe> !ban
[09:26] <ubotu> If you have been banned it is probably because you have not gone along with what is acceptable behaviour. If you're not sure what acceptable behaviour is please see http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/
[09:26] <ic56> bilss_: sudo cp -rp  <source> <target>
[09:26] <Jukru> Commander-Crowe: you don't open it...you execute it
[09:27] <poje> Commander-Crowe: make it executable and then run it
[09:27] <Commander-Crowe> Jukru: how?
[09:27] <nol13> help, i got my computer high and is hasnt been the same since.
[09:27] <inazad_> Hi there, what's the name of the file of the starting log...
[09:27] <dibblego> Commander-Crowe, chmod +x filename
[09:27] <montag> Update on WMVs: Downloaded w32codecs...i386.deb, but got an error when running 'sudo dpkg -i w32codecs...i386.deb'. Error says, "short read in buffer_copy (failed to write to pipe in copy)."
[09:27] <Commander-Crowe> poje: how?
[09:27] <poje> chmod +x yourFile;./yourFile
[09:27] <poje> Commander-Crowe: see above
[09:27] <pepsi> ^Manu, you can always tell grub how to boot your windows partition after the fact
[09:27] <pepsi> but just tell grub which disk you want it to install onto
[09:27] <Commander-Crowe> ok
[09:28] <pepsi> instead of just letting it pick one
[09:28] <bilss_> ic56: thanks so the source would be say /home/bliss and the target would be /home/admin?
[09:28] <ic56> bilss_ but you probably also want to change the ownerships so the target user will own the files.  Do that after with chown -r <new user>:<new group> <target dir>
[09:28] <dibblego> how do I change what appears in the "Open with" list when I right-click a file in the GNOMEE desktop?
[09:28] <^Manu> and what disk do i want to install it to? what difference does it make>?
[09:28] <dibblego> *GNOME
[09:28] <^Manu> whats wrong with where it installs be default?
[09:28] <pepsi> dibblego, get properties on a file of that type
[09:29] <pepsi> ^Manu, you installed to SATA and it clobbered a PATA mbr, right?
[09:29] <dibblego> pepsi, ah I see, thanks
[09:29] <ic56> bilss_: correct sudo cp -rp /home/bliss /home/admin
[09:29] <nol13> gentoo > ubuntu kn00bs
[09:29] <inazad_> what is the name of the "log file" of the starting of Ubuntu ???
[09:29] <^Manu> i dont really know, other than my PC wouldnt boot.. i dont know what it did because i couldnt boot the thing ;)
[09:29] <frogzoo> ^Manu: you probly want to install grub to the mbr on the disk that the bios looks at first - but which that is depends on the bios & bios settings
[09:29] <montag> Got some errors installing WMVs from the RestrictedFormat instructions on help.ubuntu.com. "failed to write to pipe in copy" when installing w32codecs.
[09:29] <^Manu> okay, thats PATA0
[09:30] <^Manu> the windows drive.
[09:30] <Commander-Crowe> how do I write a script to get a .bin file to start on every start up?
[09:30] <ku> wow, took me like two hours to install java lol
[09:30] <pepsi> ^Manu, if that drive will always be in the computer, you can just let it install it there
[09:30] <bilss_> ic56: if you lok at http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=220823 you will get an idea
[09:30] <frogzoo> ^Manu: if the bios & grub can't agree on which disk is which, you need to change /boot/grub/device.map
[09:30] <^Manu> okay
[09:30] <poje> Commander-Crowe: seriously, google is your friend
[09:30] <frogzoo> Commander-Crowe: copy the scripts in /etc/init.d/ & create a symlink S* in /etc/rc2.d/
[09:30] <^Manu> and how can i do that if i cant boot my PC?
[09:30] <pepsi> ^Manu, how did it not boot? what happened?
[09:31] <Commander-Crowe> poje: I did google, not much came up but I'll look some more
[09:31] <dibblego> Commander-Crowe, https://wiki.ubuntulinux.org/UbuntuBootupHowto
[09:31] <pepsi> ^Manu, did grub start?
[09:31] <^Manu> it gave the same error it gives if there is no hard drive attached to the computer at all..
[09:31] <pepsi> hrm
[09:31] <^Manu> no, it did nothing.
[09:31] <pepsi> like, the bios said it couldnt find anything at all?
[09:31] <^Manu> yep
[09:31] <Dalik> g'day peeps, I am using ubuntu and I also installed suse 10.1 (testing) and one of the first things I noticed is that suse is much quicker, loading and just opening applications.  Ubuntu it slow, for example loading firefox can take 7seconds just to load.  I think its because of the binaries are compiled for 386.  Can I recompile the software, mostly everything for 686 code? and how?
[09:31] <^Manu> which is why it scared me.
[09:32] <^Manu> if grub started, i wouldnt have been worried :P
[09:32] <pepsi> what disk does the bios try to boot first?
[09:32] <frogzoo> ^Manu: if you've got a grub  prompt, you can enter the grub settings manually to get the system up
[09:32] <^Manu> pata0
[09:32] <ic56> bilss_: I don't follow.  What is your question?
[09:32] <fyre|work> Dalik: better option would be to enable prelinking.
[09:33] <pepsi> ^Manu, maybe install grub to a floppy till you figure it out :) that definitely wouldnt clobber anything
[09:33] <Dalik> fyre, that would help the most?
[09:33] <frogzoo> ^Manu: from the grub prompt, enter 'find /boot'  & you'll see which hd it thinks grub is on
[09:33] <fyre|work> Dalik: yes, and its a lot simpler than recompiling everything.
[09:33] <inazad_> Anyone can help me here ?
[09:33] <fyre|work> !anyone
[09:33] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[09:34] <pepsi> frogzoo, it sounds like the bios didnt even load grub though, which is kind of interesting
[09:34] <frogzoo> ^Manu: then just update the settings to match
[09:34] <^Manu> frogzoo: i have no grub prompt, the bios gives me the same message as if there is no hard drive attached at all.
[09:34] <Commander-Crowe> "ms. jones taught me english but i think I shot here son"
[09:34] <pepsi> like it clobbered the MBR and didnt put grub on it?!
[09:34] <pepsi> so i dunno
[09:34] <Dalik> fyre|work: ok will give it a try thanks
[09:34] <euly> hi
[09:34] <Commander-Crowe> "cuz he owed me money ad with a bullet in your chest you cannot run"
[09:34] <^Manu> yeah i have no idea what it did, but i didnt like it ;)
[09:34] <^Manu> but i think i might give it another go.
[09:35] <pepsi> ^Manu, installing grub to a floppy should always work
[09:35] <euly> any ideas, how to stop X under ubuntu? Just pressing ctrl+alt+backspace works, but Gnome comes back up after a second.
[09:35] <^Manu> i'll install it on pata0
[09:35] <montag> Question: Running 'wget -c http://www.debian-multimedia.org/pool/main/w/w32codecs/w32codecs_20060611-0.0_i386.deb' downloads Debian.org's index.html file instead of w32codecs... Any way to correct this?
[09:35] <Commander-Crowe> there is no hoto for boot up
[09:35] <^Manu> i think grub and the bios will agree on that
[09:35] <dibblego> euly, sudo /etc/init.d gdm stop
[09:35] <^Manu> i dont have a floppy drive ;)
[09:35] <frogzoo> ^Manu: oh, sometimes bioses are wierd - need more info about your setup - you have 1 pata drive/1sata drive, but which os on which drives?
[09:35] <farous> euly: /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[09:35] <^Manu> silly nostalgic hardware.
[09:35] <inazad_> I don't see my WiFi card on the Network Setting ... I have edited the "/etc/network/interfaces" file and then... Now, when I boot, I obtain 2 errors about the network so.. Can you help me ?
[09:35] <euly> thank you!!
[09:35] <^Manu> has no place in my pc ;)
[09:35] <Commander-Crowe> I got it
[09:35] <farous> :)
[09:35] <pepsi> ^Manu, :P
[09:36] <^Manu> i have 2pata and 2 sata, windows is on pata0, linux is on sata0
[09:36] <frogzoo> montag: check the link - that should work
[09:36] <^Manu> the bios should be booting from pata0
[09:36] <inazad_> I don't see my WiFi card on the Network Setting ... I have edited the "/etc/network/interfaces" file and then... Now, when I boot, I obtain 2 errors about the network so.. Can you help me ?
[09:37] <fyre|work> Dalik: there is a howto on the forums for prelinking
[09:37] <^Manu> and installing grub in the default place caused it not to boot at all./
[09:37] <pepsi> ^Manu, google 'super grub'
[09:37] <dibblego> sometimes an application takes my sound and no other application can use it - even after I close the original application - can I somehow reset it?
[09:37] <bilss_> ic56: ok i have this dir caled /etc/suck and user lex1 is useing it now i want admin to use it , what it is its tranfering (i think not the directory but the permissions?) you see luser lex1 had a cron job with the suck programme in etc/suck and now this has been transfered to user name admin  the suck dir is in etc/suck its just the permissions need to be changed
[09:38] <fyre|work> bilss_: change the owner of that directory to 'admin' user.
[09:38] <Commander-Crowe> 89% DONE!!!!!!!!
[09:38] <fyre|work> dibblego: you can restart alsa, that might help.
[09:38] <inazad_> I don't see my WiFi card on the Network Setting ... I have edited the "/etc/network/interfaces" file and then... Now, when I boot, I obtain 2 errors about the network so.. Can you help me ?
[09:38] <dibblego> fyre|work, how would I do that exactly?
[09:38] <Dalik> fyre|work: looking at it now
[09:39] <montag> frogzoo: I went to Debian.org and there wasn't any mention of w32codecs on there.
[09:39] <fyre|work> dibblego: not sure, but try sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
[09:39] <dibblego> fyre|work, cheers
[09:39] <^Manu> is this a grub auto installer?
[09:39] <pepsi> ^Manu, it helps you fix grub problems ;)
[09:40] <^Manu> from windows?
[09:40] <pepsi> from itself
[09:40] <pepsi> you burn it to a cd and boot from it
[09:40] <frogzoo> ^Manu: one approach might be to d/l a cd with grub on it, & get into linux from there - then fix the device.map & 'sudo update-grub'
[09:40] <bilss_> fyrelwork ok thanks what I had to do in the case of  user lex1 was lex1@xstation:~$ sudo chmod 777 /etc/suck/sucknewsrc  and   lex1@xstation:~$ sudo chmod 777 /etc/suck   so now i must log in as user admin and do the same
[09:40] <fyre|work> bilss_: you need to change the ownership, not the permissions.
[09:40] <confused> anyone have any experience installing shareaza on ubuntu with wine and it connects alright?
[09:40] <^Manu> frogzoo, okay i'll try and install it again, and if i run into trouble i'll do that.
[09:41] <fyre|work> confused: install frostwire instead.
[09:41] <frogzoo> !w32codecs > montag
[09:41] <^Manu> i just didnt want to try again without asking about it.
[09:41] <^Manu> i'm really touchy about the stuff on this machine.
[09:41] <stiv2k> ok
[09:41] <bilss_> fyre|work  ok whats the command line for that please and from where
[09:41] <pepsi> ^Manu, id try the super grub cd first, lot quicker than reinstalling linux
[09:41] <Oni-Dracula> does anyone have knowledge pertaining to "splashy" the usplash replacement?
[09:42] <^Manu> okay i'll take a shot at it.
[09:42] <confused> fyre|work: I heared you can get shareaza to work but that file it needs to use g1+g2 networks didnt work for me for some reason :( do you know any p2p's that use g1/g2 networks for linux?
[09:42] <^Manu> i think the linux install is still in tact.
[09:42] <fyre|work> bilss_: sudo chmod username:groupname /etc/whatever
[09:42] <stiv2k> i STILL can't figure out why in linux, my wifi card seems considerably weaker than in windows, consequently me hardly being able to connect to my network..if it connects, only for a second before it drops...what gives/??
[09:42] <pepsi> ^Manu, exactly, if you can boot it, it should be fine
[09:42] <frogzoo> ^Manu: or another approach is read the grub docs, it's a bit confusing, but once you understand grub, it comes in handy regularly
[09:42] <^Manu> i was messing with the partitions at one point though.
[09:42] <fyre|work> confused: use frostwire, it runs natively on ubuntu, and connects to almost all p2p networks.
[09:42] <Commander-Crowe> 94% DONE!!!!!!!!!!!GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!
[09:42] <Oni-Dracula> frostwire is highly unstable in my experiences
[09:42] <fyre|work> Commander-Crowe: you don't need to yell.
[09:43] <^Manu> frogzoo: yes i should, i've jsut never spent the time since i dont spend enough time with linux in general.
[09:43] <^Manu> i just want to install it so i can test the linux port of my game myself..
[09:43] <Oni-Dracula> and frostwire uses an incredibly amount of CPU, making your system go poopy
[09:43] <fyre|work> Oni-Dracula: its only as stable as the java on your machine. Over here it runs very smoothly.
[09:43] <bilss_> fyre|work: ok i know the user name is admin (i do not know the group name) and the dir is /etc/suck
[09:43] <Commander-Crowe> fyre|work: go back to your work
[09:43] <fyre|work> and doesn't hog cpu either :)
[09:43] <^Manu> i ported it to linux blindly and get my friends to compile and run it for me ;)
[09:43] <frogzoo> ^Manu: another thing to bear in mind is that bioses sometimes behave oddly when partitions are set 'active' expecting that's where the mbr is, so disabling the active flag sometimes helps, or is the cause of the problem
[09:43] <confused> fyre|work: where do you read that? it seems to me it only does one network and thats gnutella 1
[09:43] <fyre|work> bilss_: if you created this user, then the group name is the same as the user name (as is default in ubuntu)
[09:44] <fyre|work> confused: on its website.
[09:44] <^Manu> frogzoo: okay cool, i've always wondered what that was about.
[09:44] <ic56> bilss_: your writing is not very clear.  This is what I understood: you had a crontab in user lex1's name.  You changed the ownerhip of the directory hierarchy used by the some of the jobs in that crontab.  Now you need to change the user under which that crontab runs, to match the directory hierarchy's new ownership.  Did I understand you correctly?
[09:44] <montag> frogzoo: Thanks for the help. I'll try to work on it later.
[09:44] <fyre|work> ic56: no, he had a crontab running as one user, he shifted the crontab to another user, but now the process cannot write to some directory since its owned by the initial user (atleast that's my understanding)
[09:45] <montag> Commander-Crowe: Thanks for the help earlier. Gonna give up for now; bed time.
[09:45] <bilss_> ic56: yes it was lex1 now admin is runing the crontab lex1 is not
[09:45] <confused> fyre|work: do you know exactly where on there? cause im at it's site rite now and it looks like a clone of limewire with was a one network p2p (g1)
[09:45] <Commander-Crowe> montag: ok
[09:45] <Commander-Crowe> montag: try again tomarrow
[09:46] <fyre|work> confused: don't remember to be honest, I read it along time back.
[09:46] <montag> Will do.
[09:46] <fyre|work> !p2p
[09:46] <ubotu> Conventional P2P clients: Limewire/GTK-Gnutella/Frostwire (Gnutella Network). BitTorrent: see !torrent Direct connect: try valknut
[09:46] <confused> fyre|work: think you got some stuff mixed up ;)
[09:46] <ic56> bilss_: is fyre|work right or am I?
[09:46] <confused> yeah only gnutella but no gnutella 2
[09:47] <fyre|work> confused: oh hrmm ... what do I have it confused with then?
[09:47] <eniac_petrov> np: Yngwie Malmsteen - Air on a Theme [0:10/1:44] 
[09:47] <eniac_petrov> congratulation!
[09:47] <eniac_petrov> :-)
[09:47] <fyre|work> eniac_petrov: please, turn that script off.
[09:47] <bilss_> ic56: l am not sure let tell what i have done so far and we can carry on from there give me a sec
[09:47] <interfear> Im trying to make 2 fat32 partitions of 80GB each with some unallocated space I have, what tool would you use to make/format them?
[09:47] <eniac_petrov> fyre|work ok, I am sorry
[09:47] <fyre|work> bilss_: you need to figure that out first, before anyone can try and help you.
[09:48] <fyre|work> interfear: gparted
[09:48] <Commander-Crowe> ITS DONE!!!!
[09:48] <confused> fyre|work: ive ran limewire on windows before and this looks like a clone of it and it was only a one network p2p (gnutella 1) not multi network like shareaza.. I may end up trying mldonkey but last time I checked it was bad of course there is one thats gift or something but uses other networks I didnt want ;) gnutella1, and two others I think
[09:48] <interfear> fyre|work: cool
[09:48] <interfear> hrm..
[09:49] <interfear> archive still down?
[09:49] <stiv2k> i STILL can't figure out why in linux, my wifi card seems considerably weaker than in windows, consequently me hardly being able to connect to my network..if it connects, only for a second before it drops...what gives???
[09:49] <interfear> seems like u.s. is
[09:49] <warlocky-> useradd -d /home/cs/warservers/ -M -n -r cs <- anyone know whats wrong?
[09:49] <fyre|work> confused: mldonkey is the backend, you need to get a decent front end gui to it. Many moons ago I had mldonkey running with all kinds of networks plugged into it.
[09:49] <Commander-Crowe> is there a GUI called GTK?
[09:49] <nathanj> is there fluxbox style pack in ubunut?
[09:50] <confused> fyre|work: yeah I was okay with one called sanches or something but the searching/downloading speed was way below what it should even for a multi networked p2p client
[09:50] <ic56> bilss_: I'm off. good night.
[09:50] <bilss_> ic56:i copied the crontab instructions to a file with crontab -l  > fiile in lex1, then i copied it over to admin sudo cp file /home/admin then i logged in as admin and typed crontab file and added the commands to admins cron job  now i think its a permissions thing
[09:51] <fyre|work> confused: honestly, I only do bittorrent now, everything else in the p2p space is just way too much junk :(
[09:51] <ic56> bills_: ok
[09:51] <stiv2k> goddammit
[09:51] <ic56> bilss_: ok
[09:51] <Commander-Crowe> !langugage
[09:51] <ubotu> I know nothing about langugage - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu

[09:51] <IRCMonkeyx> commctrl:  /home/ilker/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/ACDSee32/ACDSee32.exe this is the path. I wrote from alacarte. but still nothing happens
[09:52] <ic56> bilss_: let's get the vocabulary straight.  A job is a single line inside a crontab file
[09:52] <bilss_> ic56: yes
[09:52] <confused> fyre|work: thats why use want shareaza ;) it has an in built rating system to find the correct movie files and allows you to see the bitzie rating/comments for it as well.. of course the latest movies might hit bittorrent first and before that irc networks perhaps ;)
[09:52] <IRCMonkeyx> commctrl: what should i wirte in command line? should i write only path or any other things
[09:53] <ic56> bilss_: now, who owns the files in /etc/suck ? net1 or admin?
[09:53] <Commander-Crowe> bye all
[09:53] <Commander-Crowe> night time is here
[09:53] <confused> fyre|work: thanks for the help though <3
[09:53] <Commander-Crowe> sand man will fear
[09:53] <ic56> bilss_: net1-->lex1
[09:54] <interfear> I want to make a big parition to put music/video, should I make one 150gb partition or two 75's ?
[09:54] <stefg> Is there a recommended way of allowing ordinary users to use 'mount -o loop cd_image.iso /mnt'. Currently 'only root can do that', so a sudo prefix is required. I want to use this in a script, so the password-question is annoying.
[09:54] <davidjohnston> has anyone done a ubuntu server net install before
[09:54] <IRCMonkeyx> Could anyone help me? i cant make it working from launcher
[09:54] <bilss_> ic56  its lex1 at the moment if you look at the last post in the thread
[09:55] <dibblego> somewhere (on the wiki?) there is an example /etc/apt/sources.list file - anyone know where exactly?
[09:55] <bilss_> ic56: post 6 in the thread
[09:55] <philc> how do I select which version of automake should be run?
[09:55] <ic56> bilss_: ok, so change it: chown -r admin /etc/suck
[09:56] <cpk2> !easysource
[09:56] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[09:56] <cpk2> dibblego: use that link
[09:56] <dibblego> ta
[09:57] <bilss_> ic56: so all i need do  is chown -r admin /etc/suck  with sudo?
[09:57] <IRCMonkeyx> anybody hear me?? how can we call installed programs if it is not in menus?
[09:57] <ic56> bilss_: read the chown manpage.  You'll learn something.
[09:58] <bilss_> ic56; i will night
[09:58] <ic56> bilss_: night!
[09:58] <MTecknology> I need help with installing pcsx2 -> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18673

[10:02] <pepsi> yes
[10:03] <pepsi> JesseJ, /topic ;)
[10:03] <IRCMonkeyx> pepsi: wine/home/ilker/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/ACDSee32/ACDSee32.exe  is this correct??
[10:03] <pepsi> IRCMonkeyx, i guess
[10:03] <JesseJ> thanks, just needed to rule out all other possibilities for why i can't install easyubuntu
[10:03] <pepsi> with a space after wine
[10:03] <IRCMonkeyx> thanx :)
[10:04] <interfear> I made two extended fat32 partitions and I would like to mount them in ubuntu, how do i go about doing that
[10:04] <tabman> i'm looking for a download manager which can start/resume my downloads
[10:05] <pepsi> tabman, wget ;)
[10:05] <bilss_> fyre|work: when i run chown -r admin /etc/suck   i get  chown: invalid option -- r
[10:05] <interfear> extended partitions can be mounted in linux and used for file storage yes?
[10:05] <JesseJ> i'm trying out ubuntu on my mac and if it looks like a good system to switch to then i will either build my own or have an ubuntu PC built for me
[10:05] <Rowan> has anyone else ever had problems with #1 Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter not working?
[10:07] <tabman> pepsi: is it inside the package management or what ?

[10:09] <cpk2> userundefine and fyre|work thanks
[10:10] <pepsi> tabman, wget -ct0 will continue a downloading, retrying an infinite number of times :)
[10:11] <fyre|work> bilss_: -R
[10:11] <tabman> pepsi: when I click on a download link inside firefox, I want it to popup, I don't know what you are telling
[10:11] <fyre|work> tabman: you want it to popup what?
[10:11] <bigfoot1> When I crop a digital picture, the cropped image has a bigger file size. Why? Weird.
[10:12] <fyre|work> tabman: the download window?
[10:12] <fyre|work> bigfoot1: are you saving it with the same compression settings?
[10:13] <bigfoot1> fyre|work: i'm using gThumb. 100% quality. 0% smoothing.
[10:13] <bigfoot1> fyre|work: and regardless whether I have Optimize or Progressive, cropped image is still larger.
[10:13] <trippp1> im having problems sharing a cable modems NET connection with another network interface.
[10:15] <stiv2k> what is the difference between madwifi and madwifi-ng?
[10:15] <rshd301> Anyone know where to get gcompizthemer ?
[10:15] <_BASO_> how can I use the infra red port on my ubuntu system?
[10:16] <bigfoot1> fyre|work: how do i know whether I'm saving with same compression settings?
[10:16] <trippp1> _BASO_: what do you want to use it for?
[10:17] <shobbi> hey I just installed kubuntu dapper and I had some major problems, for one the installer failed to install grub so I did that and now I kdesu wont authenticate me as a sudo user
[10:17] <_BASO_> to sent files to my mobile phone
[10:18] <_BASO_> trippp1: or to download files from my mobile phone
[10:18] <tabman> pepsi: ?
[10:18] <pepsi> ?
[10:19] <fyre|work> rshd301: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xgl
[10:19] <tabman>  pepsi: when I click on a download link inside firefox, I want it to popup
[10:19] <rshd301> Thanks
[10:19] <pepsi> popup what?
[10:19] <shobbi> can someone help me get kdesu working? I can su in konsole and run apt-get mount  and other sudo programs but not in the gui
[10:19] <tabman> wget what else :)
[10:19] <pepsi> for what
[10:19] <interfear> I made these 2 fat32 partitions, and i configured them in the gnome disk manage tool, however they dont show up on my desktop nor on "mount", however i can read/write to the paritions?
[10:19] <interfear> i dont understand
[10:19] <tabman> wget should popup and ask to let it handle the download
[10:19] <interfear> i would like them to be shown as shortcuts on my desktop
[10:20] <pepsi> tabman, wget is a command line program
[10:20] <fyre|work> interfear: you need to mount them somewhere first for your system to use them.
[10:20] <tabman> i'm looking for something like DAP on linux
[10:20] <pepsi> what is DAP?
[10:20] <tabman> pesi: I just installed wget its not command line, I can see a GUI
[10:20] <dibblego> how would I mount my SATA HDD? I've just reinstalled a clean Dapper and I can't seem to find it (it was there before) - I thought it would be on /dev/sda1 or something but there is no /dev/sd*
[10:20] <tabman> pepsi: download accelerator plus
[10:21] <interfear> fyre|work: hrm if i can read/write to them doesnt that mean they are mounted? i have them setup as /mnt/d1 and /mnt/d2
[10:21] <fyre|work> interfear: run system > administration > disks -- I think you can mount stuff from there.
[10:21] <bilss_> fyre|work  after doing the command  chown  -R  admin   /etc/suck  the file in suck has changed to this -rw-r--r--  1 admin lex1  463 2006-07-22 08:55 sucknewsrc  how can it bechanged so that  it reads -rw-r-r--admin admin  463 2006-07-22
[10:21] <trippp1> _BASO_: kde or gnome?
[10:21] <interfear> fyre|work: yeh thats what i did, doesnt show up as mounted though
[10:21] <fyre|work> interfear: yes, then they are mounted if you are able to access them.
[10:21] <aqau_inter_fly> hi guys. I'm having a printing problem... i set up my printer fine, but when i go to print, my printer feeds the paper in, then sits there for about a minute then spits it out blank... has anyone had this problem before?
[10:21] <interfear> maybe because they are logical partitions they arent showing up under mount?
[10:21] <fyre|work> bilss_: chown -R admin:admin /etc/suck -- and please, read the manual.
[10:22] <_BASO_> trippp1: gnome (Xfce actually)
[10:22] <stiv2k> what is the difference between madwifi and madwifi-ng?
[10:22] <fyre|work> aqau_inter_fly: what kind of driver are you using for your printer?
[10:22] <fyre|work> interfear: no, that's not a reason.
[10:22] <interfear> hrm.
[10:22] <interfear> weird
[10:22] <aqau_inter_fly> fyre|work, it is the one that ubuntu suggested for my printer when i selected it from the list
[10:23] <fyre|work> aqau_inter_fly: try another driver, maybe your printer doesn't support the driver type.
[10:23] <trippp1> _BASO_: theres a package for KDE. for controlling. theres also a bluetooth one that works well
[10:23] <trippp1> _BASO_: but im no help. no idea.
[10:23] <fyre|work> aqau_inter_fly: also, lookup your printer at linuxprinting.org
[10:24] <aqau_inter_fly> fyre|work:  when i used my printer in MEPIS, it worked fine
[10:24] <frogzoo> aqau_inter_fly: is this a lexmark?
[10:24] <fyre|work> aqau_inter_fly: what has that got to do with anything?
[10:24] <aqau_inter_fly> fyre|work: i really don't konw
[10:25] <aqau_inter_fly> fyre|work: and no its not a lexmark its an hp
[10:25] <fyre|work> aqau_inter_fly: that's like saying, 'yeah it worked in windows fine' -- it doesn't matter. MEPIS != ubuntu just like Windows != ubuntu
[10:25] <aqau_inter_fly> fyre|work: its an old one
[10:25] <fyre|work> aqau_inter_fly: use a generic driver with it first, see if that works. Maybe the driver you are using is not well supported by your printer.
[10:25] <frogzoo> aqau_inter_fly: is this on dapper? serial or usb?
[10:26] <aqau_inter_fly> frogzoo: yes it is dapper and it is serial
[10:26] <frogzoo> aqau_inter_fly: when did you set the printer up? also, have you lately done a sudo apt-get upgrade ?
[10:27] <aqau_inter_fly> frogzoo: i just set it up a couple of minutes ago and yes i recently updated
[10:27] <aqau_inter_fly> frogzoo: i think 2 days ago i updated
[10:27] <frogzoo> aqau_inter_fly: which model hp?
[10:28] <aqau_inter_fly> frogzoo: OfficeJet 500
[10:29] <aqau_inter_fly> frogzoo: and i did change the driver and now this is what it does:  prints out one page that says only "5Y" at the top, then prints out onother page with the content im tryingto print.
[10:30] <aqau_inter_fly> frogzoo: but when its done printing it takes a while to spit it how (its done that with every distro of linux i've used and all i have to do it pull it out
[10:31] <aqau_inter_fly> )
[10:32] <aqau_inter_fly> i guess everyone left :-)
[10:32] <cpk2> whats the command to change a users password? using the groups and users gui doesnt seem to do anything
[10:33] <Jukru> cpk2: passwd

[10:35] <livingdaylight> i need help with an annoyance. Watching dvd(orwhatever) the screensaver kicks in. How do i stop that?
[10:35] <frogzoo> aqau_inter_fly: so it's printing now? just with the extra page with the '5Y' ?
[10:36] <frogzoo> Rowan: language please
[10:36] <Madpilot> trippp1, stop spamming the bot - if you need help, ask...
[10:36] <aqau_inter_fly> frgzoo: actually its also cutting off the bottom of the document.
[10:36] <frogzoo> aqau_inter_fly: and which driver are you using?
[10:36] <trippp1> i cant keep two network cards up at the same time. without one fucking with the other... ones connecting to local LAN, the other to a cable modem WAN.
[10:36] <livingdaylight> hello?
[10:37] <livingdaylight> surely, this is a simple problem to solve?
[10:37] <trippp1> livingdaylight: turn off the screensaver
[10:37] <frogzoo> trippp1:  impressive as your use of anglo-celtic vulgarities is, it doesn't help resolve your problem :)
[10:38] <trippp1> frogzoo: thanks.
[10:38] <frogzoo> trippp1: can you post your /etc/network/interfaces
[10:38] <aqau_inter_fly> frogzoo: cdj550
[10:38] <livingdaylight> trippp1: just untick the 'activate screensaver' box?
[10:39] <frogzoo> aqau_inter_fly: is there no driver for the hp officejet 500?
[10:39] <aqau_inter_fly> frogzoo: umm there is hpijs which is the reccommended and suggested one
[10:40] <livingdaylight> trippp1: hello?
[10:40] <trippp1> livingdaylight: yes. in the screensaver settings
[10:40] <aqau_inter_fly> frogzoo: wait now that one is working...kinda
[10:40] <livingdaylight> trippp1: what happens if i switch it off?
[10:40] <livingdaylight> trippp1: what happens then if the system is idle?
[10:40] <trippp1> livingdaylight: dont leave you PC on.
[10:41] <frogzoo> aqau_inter_fly: delete the printer, & try again, selecting the hp officejet 500 printer & ignore the other suggestions
[10:41] <livingdaylight> trippp1: so, if i'm watching dvd, say, the system power wont go idle?
[10:41] <livingdaylight> trippp1: what do you mean don't leave your pc on?
[10:41] <aqau_inter_fly> frogzoo: thats what i did the first time and it used the hpjis
[10:41] <Samineru> n00b question: How does one run a php file?
[10:42] <Samineru> or could someone walk me thouegh installing ampach
[10:42] <frogzoo> trippp1: you gonna pastebin that file? or just #flood if you like
[10:42] <jbrimble> What can I use to sync my Windows PocketPC with Linux?
[10:42] <Samineru> *ampache
[10:42] <aqau_inter_fly> frogzoo:  and this is what happnens now with the hpijs, it still has the KY at the top, except its the same page as my content is on, and it still takes a while to spit out the paper, but it doesn't cut off the bottom
[10:42] <trippp1> frogzoo: my interfaces http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18674
[10:42] <aqau_inter_fly> frogzoo: 5Y*
[10:43] <frogzoo> aqau_inter_fly: there is an exact driver you should install - but you'll need to select it manually
[10:43] <livingdaylight> trippp1: man.....
[10:43] <aqau_inter_fly> frogzoo: how do i do this
[10:43] <trippp1> livingdaylight: screensaver to save screen if an image is on it for too long. if you turn it off your screen may burn. if it is LCD. no matter!
[10:44] <interfear> how many of you still have windows on your pc?
[10:44] <Samineru> I would if my cd drive worked
[10:44] <aqau_inter_fly> frogzoo: i deleted the printer and i am in the wizard for making a new one
[10:44] <pepsi> i run windows in vmware to run stuff for work
[10:44] <snoops> yep interfear.. still need it :)
[10:44] <interfear> I was thinking why i am still running windows, and i dont think i need it anymor
[10:44] <frogzoo> trippp1: eth0 eth1 cable/ethernet - which is which? (there's an obvious problem, eth0/eth1 have the same ip)
[10:44] <interfear> everything works in ubuntu, printer, net card, vid card..
[10:45] <interfear> i think i may be able to leave windows behind
[10:45] <frogzoo> aqau_inter_fly: driver -> hp -> officejet 500
[10:45] <aqau_inter_fly> frogzoo: where am i dooing this at
[10:46] <trippp1> frogzoo: i know. look what ifconfig returned http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18676
[10:46] <frogzoo> aqau_inter_fly: system -> admin -> printers     then 'add printer' - wizard pops up - add local - select driver -> hp -> officejet 500
[10:46] <interfear> If i get rid of windows entirely I think im gonna switch to 32bit ubuntu, not 64
[10:47] <livingdaylight> trippp1: what is annoying is when i'm using the pc and the screensaver comes on regardsless. If i'm watching a dvd the pc is being used, why does the system not recognise that i'm watching a dvd and not unleash the screensaver?
[10:47] <aqau_inter_fly> frogzoo: i think your wizard may be alittle different then mine
[10:48] <aqau_inter_fly> frogzoo: i have printer type: local or network and then i can choose a detected printer (hp officejet_series_500) or i can use another printer by specifying port
[10:48] <frogzoo> trippp1: those are different ip's from what's in interfaces, are you using a gui network manager?
[10:48] <trippp1> livingdaylight: system > preferences > screeensaver  un tick the box.
[10:48] <frogzoo> trippp1: also, take a look in /etc/iftab to make sure it looks sensible
[10:49] <livingdaylight> trippp1: i know how to do that. But it doesn't answer my question
[10:49] <frogzoo> aqau_inter_fly: choose manually select
[10:49] <aqau_inter_fly> then if i go forward it asks for a driver and when i go to hp> officejet500, the recommende driver is hpijs
[10:49] <speedy> how to convert 2e00.4106.5120 to 2e:00:41:06:51:20 format using sed/awk?
[10:49] <frogzoo> aqau_inter_fly: are there other drivers you can select? try the other ones available & see if it helps - preferably something listed as 500 specific
[10:50] <trippp1> livingdaylight: i hate the screensaver.. you cant pick the DIR it gets the slideshow from
[10:50] <aqau_inter_fly> frogzoo: yes, there are other drivers but i already tried them and none of them are 500 specific
[10:50] <livingdaylight> trippp1: i inderstand. How is power managed if i untick screensaver?
[10:51] <livingdaylight> trippp1: will the pc just switch off whilst in the middle of watching a dvd, or movie clip?
[10:51] <frogzoo> aqau_inter_fly: you could try downloading a driver from linuxprinting.org & see if that works better
[10:51] <fyre|work> livingdaylight: depends on the program you use to watch dvds.
[10:51] <livingdaylight> trippp1: do you understand the question?
[10:51] <fyre|work> livingdaylight: some will stop the screensaver.
[10:52] <fyre|work> livingdaylight: if I use the default 'media player' it will block the screen saver -- but mplayer doesn't (have to fiddle with the settings I think) neither does vlc player.
[10:52] <livingdaylight> fyre|work well, yesterday i was using mplayer. today i was watching clips on youtube.com
[10:52] <aqau_inter_fly> frogzoo: okay, i'll try that tommarow, thanks a lot for trying to hlep
[10:53] <livingdaylight> fyre|work: right...but for the file i watched yesterday, i had to use mplayer and it was annoying to have to move the mouse every time the screensaver came on
[10:53] <livingdaylight> fyre|work: same with youtube.com
[10:53] <pepsi> how fast does your screensaver kick in?!
[10:54] <Awesome-o2000> livingdaylight, -stop-xscreensaver
[10:54] <livingdaylight> Awesome-o2000: is that command?
[10:54] <Awesome-o2000> no rtfm
[10:54] <livingdaylight> ?
[10:55] <livingdaylight> fyre|work: i should be able to use any application without having screensaver interfere
[10:55] <frogzoo> Awesome-o2000: man rtfm
[10:55] <frogzoo> No manual entry for rtfm

[11:25] <larryone> has anyone here had trouble getting the dapper installer to see SATA drives on a system?
[11:25] <dade_> dingus9,   http://desrt.mcmaster.ca/macbook.xhtml i did the same told here for get sleep work -- that is almost nothing but adding an "exit 0" to laptop-detect
[11:26] <sam__> thanks
[11:26] <dingus9> dade_: what exaclty is the issue than? you want something more specific
[11:26] <dingus9> ?
[11:27] <dade_> desrt say it works, but my laptop freeze just after stoppinc cpu and "Stopping tasks  [11:27] <larryone> the installer cant find a volume to install to..... gnome parted cant find devices either, they're not even being listed in /dev..... but the drive does work, and will boot the win2k install that's on it
[11:27] <sophie_marshall> why is my WINDOWS XP UNDER VMWARE internet so slow?
[11:27] <dade_> dingus9, i don't know what to do.
[11:28] <nurey> ok i fixed my libgtk2.0-dev problem... the mirrors i was using were messed up... i just changed to another mirror
[11:28] <dade_> dingus9, if you have a macbook too, that sleeps, we can compare some things
[11:29] <dingus9> ok just a sec
[11:29] <interfear> U.S. Archives still down?
[11:29] <larryone> is there anywhere that I can ask about installation problems?
[11:29] <interfear> larryone: shoot
[11:29] <larryone> the installer cant find a volume to install to..... gnome parted cant find devices either, they're not even being listed in /dev..... but the drive does work, and will boot the win2k install that's on it
[11:30] <dingus9> dade_: let me see here you have a lid.sh? int etc/acpi?
[11:30] <interfear> so its not even seeing your hard drive?
[11:30] <larryone> interfear, that's right
[11:30] <larryone> SATA disk
[11:30] <dade_> dingus9, yes
[11:30] <mdious> dade>what do you think of the macbook...I really wanted an iBook but it looks like the macbook is the 'replacement' for it....
[11:30] <erikgz> is us.archive.ubuntu.com down..?
[11:30] <interfear> larryone: hrm, i have a sata drive as well and havent had any problems
[11:30] <interfear> erikgz: yes
[11:30] <dade_> mdious, i think you should try one
[11:30] <larryone> I wasnt expecting any problems
[11:31] <larryone> it's really odd, it's not listing anywhere
[11:31] <interfear> larryone: thats weird.. so when u get to the partitioning stage of the install? the fields are blank? does it see your win2k partition?
[11:31] <dingus9> dade_: can you use acpitool -s and make it suspend to ram?
[11:31] <erikgz> interfear: thanks.  any word on back-up date?
[11:31] <mdious> dade>I grew up on macs...in fact I would not be in computers if i had to start on pc's...I really wanted to get back into the whole mac scene before it all went intel but it looks like i'm almost too late hehe
[11:31] <larryone> it hangs when it gets to the partitioning stage
[11:31] <dade_> dingus9, i'll go offline :P
[11:31] <interfear> erikgz: no idea i just came in here asking the same question you just did
[11:32] <larryone> so I opened gnome parted
[11:32] <dade_> dingus9, isn't that the same of sudo /etc/acpi/sleep.sh ??
[11:32] <larryone> and it couldnt find devices either
[11:32] <dade_> or sudo echo -n mem /sys/power/state
[11:32] <larryone> then found that they werent listed under /dev or /dev/disk or anywhere
[11:32] <interfear> larryone: hrm.. so there isnt any /dev/sda* devices...
[11:32] <erikgz> interfear: oye
[11:33] <dade_> dingus9, if yes it will crash.
[11:33] <larryone> none at all.... the only disk device the os can find is the cdrom drive
[11:33] <interfear> larryone: honestly larry im not sure, maybe someone here more experianced can help you out with this one..
[11:33] <larryone> yea
[11:33] <interfear> larryone: did you try to mount the drive yourself?
[11:33] <dingus9> ok here is the thing I just want to see if you acpi functionality is really there
[11:33] <larryone> I cant mount a raw device that's not listed in /dev
[11:34] <dade_> dingus9, so, i try that thing, bbl
[11:34] <dingus9> dade_: acpitool usually works.
[11:34] <mdious> dade>sorry to keep pestering...have you had any problems with white marks on your macbook keyboard?
[11:34] <interfear> hrm..
[11:34] <interfear> not sure
[11:34] <larryone> if it's not there, then usually it might suggest it's not plugged in
[11:34] <interfear> can u mount the raw device, and then format it ext2 with gnome-parted?
[11:34] <larryone> but it works fine, bots the windoze
[11:34] <interfear> or ext3 w/e
[11:34] <sophie_marshall> ah the ubuntu help channel is too big, no one will help me
[11:35] <interfear> it is a little too big heh
[11:35] <larryone> interfear, gnome-parted doesnt find the device if it's not in /dev
[11:35] <interfear> o
[11:35] <larryone> cant mount anything if it's not listed under /dev
[11:35] <interfear> i dunno then
[11:35] <larryone> hmm
[11:36] <interfear> u only have one hard drive?
[11:36] <larryone> I think I might try booting knoppix or something.... see if it can find it
[11:36] <larryone> only one drive, yea
[11:36] <interfear> yeh
[11:36] <interfear> sry coudlnt be of more help
[11:36] <larryone> np man
[11:36] <larryone> =0)

[11:38] <dingus9> illusina: what is your grafix card?
[11:38] <dade`> dingus9, just back
[11:38] <dade`> it crashed
[11:38] <illusina> dingus9: ati x800
[11:38] <dingus9> what happened dade`
[11:38] <dade`> after saying "Stopping tasks: [11:39] <dade`> and then nothing

[11:39] <dingus9> illusina: it should be possible I have only seen it personally on a nvidia but I hav heard it works on ati too
[11:40] <illusina> dingus9: I've searched for hours on forums for a technique -- but only found people who suggested it couldn't be done -- do you have any articles perchance?
[11:40] <insidius> Hi all
[11:40] <dade`> dingus9, Linux Silicio 2.6.15-26-686 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jul 17 20:14:14 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
[11:40] <dade`>  | yours ?
[11:40] <dingus9> dade`: did you look to see what the acpitool said to use for sleep by chance you may need to pass something else
[11:41] <insidius> I am troubleshooting something for someone and they dont have apt on there system from the command line. Any ideas?
[11:41] <dade`> dingus9, i read the man, there is noting interesting
[11:42] <dingus9> dade`: it would seem that you are dealing with some efi stuff
[11:42] <erikgz> when will us.archive.ubuntu.com be back up?
[11:42] <dade`> efi ?
[11:42] <dade`> hmm
[11:42] <dingus9> dade`: the extend firmware
[11:43] <dade`> i used bootcamp to partition the harddrive, then i used refit as primary bootloader
[11:43] <dade`> and lilo as second
[11:44] <dade`> dingus9, http://bin-false.org/?p=17 <- i installed this way
[11:44] <dingus9> dade`: you may need to see if you can enable acpi compatibility in the mac firmware. I have heard that when using refit as the bootloader you can run into some compatability issues
[11:44] <Down_II> hi does anyone know about installing ubuntu onto an external usb drive this way I could keep windows on the internal drive untouched
[11:45] <insidius> So does anyone have any ideas why my freind keeps being told that apt-get is an unknown command
[11:45] <dade`> dingus9, i'm looking, do you have an url ?
[11:47] <dingus9> dade`: what I heard is that in order to get some of the compatibility stuff working right you need to boot using bootcamp to the second partition where you install grub, then use grub to load your windows and linux kernels.
[11:49] <dingus9> dade`: the boot camp soposedly enables some legacy compatiblity graphics and other hardware stuff so that older non efi os's can use the hardwar properly
[11:49] <speedy> whats the name of the c language manual pages package?
[11:49] <dade`> dingus9, sounds like lot of troubles. so i don't have to use refit, and why grub if i have lilo ?
[11:50] <insidius> ok then. Does ubuntu include apt by default? Considering its based on debian I assume so
[11:50] <dingus9> dade`: you could use lilo too but grub is realy easy to install and configure, and you don't have to reinstall lilo every time you update you linux kernel! grub uses the menu.lst
[11:51] <frogzoo> insidius: if your friend doesn't have apt-get, i doubt they're running an ubuntu distro
[11:51] <Oni-Dracula> mking studios emailed me!
[11:51] <Oni-Dracula> raptor: call of the shadows port in 7 days
[11:51] <dade`> just 'cause i have lilo now, but what i remember is that bootcamp was not able to boot my linux partition hmm
[11:52] <Oni-Dracula> guess no one here remembers raptor
[11:52] <dingus9> dade`: from what I understand the bootcamp basicly hides the efi stuff from the operatingsystems it initializes. for example windows, since it can't handle the efi stuff yet, linux does ok on efi but its not quite there yet
[11:52] <insidius> frogzoo: Thats what I cant figure out he is using ubuntu. I use debian myself and im trying to give him a hand. He does not have apt and the system did not even put him in the sudoers file by default like i assume it should
[11:53] <dingus9> can somone do a repository check for me for http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ im not able to download from it. but I can ping it
[11:53] <insidius> Sorry I am not 100% familar with ubuntu or how it does things
[11:54] <DarkMageZ> insidius, the first user created on the system should be in the sudo'ers
[11:55] <DarkMageZ> insidius, it should also have apt, which is part of ubuntu-minimal
[11:55] <Lynoure> insidius: He believes it to be ubuntu? How did he get it?
[11:55] <frogzoo> insidius: ubuntu uses debian's apt - the binaries are different, but the setup is the same, I believe
[11:55] <insidius> I know. I cant figure it out. This is really wierd
[11:56] <NeoNmaN> !mount
[11:56] <frogzoo> insidius: did the install run to completion? does he actually have a usable box?
[11:56] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted  -  Formatting partitions: see the manual page for mkfs ("man mkfs")  -  Mounting partitions in Gnome: System -> Administration -> Disks
[11:56] <insidius> I am beggining to think he does not have a fully installed box
[11:56] <frogzoo> insidius: only real possibility
[11:56] <insidius> Hmm get got it from the iinet ftp. (Its a aussie ISP FTP)
[11:57] <NeoNmaN> i need help to mount one iso file... i can't remember howto :(
[11:57] <dade`> ok i'm gonna try, tnx bye
[11:57] <Lynoure> insidius: another possibility is that he installed something else, labeled as a prank or as malicious trick as Ubuntu
[11:58] <insidius> Hmm I am asking him know because this is confusing the hell out of me
[11:58] <Namingishard> Hey, Room ^^
[11:58] <frogzoo> insidius: ask for output from 'lsb_release -a'
[11:58] <dingus9> insidius: I am having simelar problems right now installing kubuntu dapper. its hanging on the repository checks and when I reboot into my "new system" I am missing a bunch of tools
[11:59] <insidius> Hmm that could be it
[11:59] <frogzoo> I'm wondering if it's related to the us repos being down - not allowing security updates...
[11:59] <insidius> To think this all started from me telling him to apt-get screen heh
[12:00] <Spy_> is there sum1 here that can help me with lamp?
[12:00] <frogzoo> Spy_: not if you keep us guessing what the problem is :)
[12:00] <Spy_> hehe i knew i had it coming
[12:00] <frogzoo> heh
[12:00] <ubuntu_> when are the servers coming back up?
[12:00] <dingus9> ah frogzoo no wonder Its doing this. grrr hey if I chose my local in say europe will it use the non us repos?
[12:01] <Spy_> Okay, well apache works because but when ever i try and browse a *.php file it asks me if i want to download it
[12:01] <frogzoo> dingus9: yep, but your locale will be screwed :(
[12:01] <Spy_> Now on this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP it does say you need to enable php4
[12:01] <frogzoo> dingus9: maybe canada?
[12:01] <Spy_> but i tried that and the problem presists.. it says the php4 module is already enabled
[12:02] <NeoNmaN> Spy_, i hav a bash script if you wont to crate a Apache2, Mysql5 and PHP5 test server :)
[12:02] <Spy_> okay neo post on a pm
[12:02] <dingus9> oh yah. frogzoo can't I change my local later?
[12:02] <frogzoo> dingus9: of course
[12:02] <Spy_> hey so any1 know of any new cool games coming out?
[12:03] <ubuntu_> so is there like maintenance going on to the servers or something?
[12:03] <dingus9> frogzoo: I think that is a small flaw in the dapper install. Instead of just moving on and fixing the problem by switching mirriors it crashes and leaves you high and dry
[12:03] <frogzoo> ubuntu_: topic just says down, doesn't elaborate
[12:03] <Flannel> ubuntu_: no, but sometimes mirrors go down, looks like ca. and us. are down.  You can remove the us. from your sources.list, and it'll work just fine.
[12:04] <frogzoo> dingus9: it's kind of wierd - what if you're installing without a net connection? would it just crash? ...
[12:04] <Flannel> frogzoo: no, it uses the stuff on the CD
[12:04] <dingus9> I tried by ifdown before I installed a second time and yes it still crashed
[12:05] <frogzoo> dingus9: maybe try installing but don't configure the networking... maybe?
[12:05] <ubuntu_> yeh i was trying to install ubuntu just now but the install halts when it starts to configure apt since its trying to connect to the U.S. servers
[12:06] <frogzoo> ubuntu_: I'm guessing it should work if you install but don't configure networking
[12:06] <dingus9> this time it told me that it couldn't find the servers blah blah blah and then gave a buch of errors. must have to
[12:06] <ubuntu_> yeh.. hrm.. i guess ill just try later
[12:06] <interfear> dam livecd irssi
[12:07] <Bakemono> hi
[12:07] <interfear> Is there an officla ubuntu websites that gives the status of the servers?
[12:07] <dingus9> hmm this is strange its not letting me ifdown eth0
[12:08] <insidius> screw it. i am getting the guy to format and im gonna help him install debian. He is missing to many things.
[12:08] <dingus9> that must have been my problem
[12:10] <dingus9> oh my word what the heck now loop back is not configured sheesh
[12:10] <dingus9> lol this is funny
[12:10] <Android> I have installed ubuntu but xserver is unable to start (says something about not being configured i think), what should i try to fix it?
[12:11] <dingus9> Android: are you trying to install dapper? or breezy?
[12:12] <Android> dapper i think, the latest version
[12:14] <dingus9> Android: if you have too much trouble with dapper I would recomend installing breezy first and doing a dist upgrade to dapper. http://ubuntuguide.org and look at the upgrade section
[12:14] <loop1> any freevo users?
[12:15] <Android> is there a way i can try to configure X server first?
[12:15] <dingus9> I had to do that on a dell about two weeks ago, it wouldn't load into the gui at all but once installed breezy then the upgrade went nicely
[12:15] <loop1> !fixres Android
[12:15] <ubotu> I know nothing about fixres Android - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:15] <loop1> !fixres > Android
[12:15] <dingus9> Android: I think so
[12:16] <Android> fixres?
[12:16] <Android> I know with gparted i had to change drivers to get it working
[12:16] <dingus9> Android: when you first boot up there is an option I think it was f6 but can't remember, to change the boot perams
[12:16] <HazemMohamed> Does any one know how to get my smart link modemd working?
[12:17] <humanpersonman> HazemMohamed, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
[12:17] <dingus9> Android: to get your harddrive working?
[12:18] <Android> i can boot into ubuntu/ubuntu safe mode fine
[12:18] <Android> just i cant get xserver to work once i do
[12:18] <dingus9> Android: oh
[12:19] <dingus9> Android: what card?
[12:19] <HazemMohamed> humanpersonman:thank you very much
[12:19] <No1Viking> Followed the instructions in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI and got http://pastebin.ca/97038. Any ideas?
[12:20] <cmug> Bah, that Graphical Installer is a POS
[12:20] <humanpersonman> Android, when you get the command prompt try doing this sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:20] <cmug> The partitioner doesnt see the swap partition I create no matter what
[12:20] <dingus9> Android: what graphics card do you have?
[12:20] <dingus9> cmug: how much ram do you have?
[12:21] <darkowl> Hello
[12:21] <cmug> dingus9, 1GB
[12:21] <trippp1> i need some help with setting up a DHCP server for my local LAN to acess the WAN.
[12:21] <ron_o2> on my live cd of ubuntu my cd keeps opening and closing repeatedly. How do I stop it?
[12:21] <cmug> I am trying to preserve one NTFS partition
[12:21] <Android> and ATI X800XL
[12:21] <dingus9> cmug: ok is this the install partitioner?
[12:21] <darkowl> How can I configure my mouse to work in framebuffer ?
[12:22] <ron_o2> my cdrw...*
[12:22] <cmug> dingus9, yes, gparted or whatever it uses
[12:22] <ron_o2> I have a compaq presario..
[12:22] <cmug> I have a shipit install disc
[12:22] <humanpersonman> cmug, it is almost as if you need to trick the partitioner into what you want it to do. Very similar to using a mac
[12:22] <dingus9> Android: ok did you change the driver in your xorg config to the correct ati driver?
[12:22] <cmug> humanpersonman, i want it to work, i dont want to trick it
[12:22] <humanpersonman> cmug, i hate that graphical install, textual is flawless
[12:22] <cmug> and I dont know how to trick it
[12:22] <Android> um
[12:22] <darkowl> How can I configure my mouse to work in framebuffer ?
[12:22] <cmug> humanpersonman, i have always used the text install before
[12:23] <No1Viking> Followed the instructions in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI and got http://pastebin.ca/97038. Any ideas?
[12:23] <trippp1> anyone know about DHCP servers?
[12:23] <cmug> but the GUI must be working aswell if you want users
[12:23] <Android> i havent actually run the config properly since i installed
[12:23] <humanpersonman> cmug, apparently textual install was too foreboding for new users, so they go with this
[12:23] <dingus9> cmug: if it will let you move on just ignore the swap partition for now and you can add it to your inittab file later!
[12:24] <cmug> dingus9, it does, but it complains about the missing swap partition
[12:24] <Steven_> have any of you ever used gtk-gnutella?
[12:24] <cmug> but it does offer a continue
[12:24] <cmug> so ill try that
[12:24] <humanpersonman> darkowl, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:24] <dingus9> cmug: but can you install any ways?
[12:24] <humanpersonman> darkowl, keep accepting the default until you get to the mouse options
[12:25] <cmug> dingus9, i am booting the installer again, ill try
[12:25] <humanpersonman> Steven_, I go with frostwire myself
[12:26] <dingus9> cmug: it will run just fine without a swap with a gig of ram. then just put your 2gig swap into your fstab file after install
[12:26] <cmug> dingus9, yes
[12:26] <Android> i had to use the textual install as i was unable to run xserver
[12:27] <dingus9> Android: are you on your live cd now or an installed system?
[12:27] <Android> installed
[12:27] <dingus9> Android: oh good
[12:27] <Android> ?
[12:27] <humanpersonman> 2 gig swap seems like a waste.
[12:27] <Android> i said that earlier
[12:27] <humanpersonman> I can't imagine ever needing that
[12:27] <Hexidigital_> argh... i assume US repos are still down?
[12:28] <phipu> hi
[12:28] <Steven_> humanpersonman: what network does frostwire connect to?
[12:28] <humanpersonman> gnutella
[12:29] <humanpersonman> Steven_, I very rarely use gnutella, bittorrent guy myself, but the few times I have used it frostwire worked really well.
[12:29] <Steven_> humanpersonman:  Does it use gtk2?
[12:29] <cmug> blah, now the program sees the swap aswell
[12:30] <cmug> Ha, pos!
[12:30] <dingus9> cmug: lol
[12:30] <phipu> I have 2 users on my ubuntu 6.06. When I try to set-up an autologin I can chose only one of them for that. Anyone has an idea how I can fix that?
[12:31] <VoteForPedro> i installed ubuntu 5.10, but something is wrong with gnome - it is locking randomly, and i haven't even been able to get past the logins screen ... i rebooted into recovery mode and im at the command prompt (bash is it) how do i make sure gnome is up to date?
[12:31] <dingus9> Android: what driver is it using in you xorg.conf ?
[12:32] <Cynical> ask it
[12:32] <humanpersonman> Steven_, not sure, it is a java app if that helps
[12:32] <Dewbie> btw wtf is pedro
[12:32] <Dewbie> and why vote for him/her
[12:33] <humanpersonman> Steven_, it certainly is not qt or KDE related at all. I think it is pretty DE neutral
[12:33] <dingus9> Pedro offers you his protectection
[12:33] <VoteForPedro> :)
[12:33] <dingus9> Dewbie: you noob napoleon dynamite
[12:33] <humanpersonman> Dewbie must not be in america
[12:33] <Frizz0> hey
[12:33] <_atomic> Hello
[12:33] <McNutella> can ubuntu use flash 8 or 9 yet ?
[12:34] <Dewbie> lmao
[12:34] <Dewbie> omg
[12:34] <Steven_> humanpersonman:  ok cool :)
[12:34] <humanpersonman> McNutella, no
[12:34] <Dewbie> ive not seen shuch shite as napolean dynamite
[12:34] <dingus9> McNutella: only if macromedia makes a linux bin for 8 and 9
[12:34] <Dewbie> nor willI ever
[12:34] <humanpersonman> McNutella, they are supposedly working on flash 9 for linux, we'll see I am a bit skeptic
[12:34] <Dewbie> american or not
[12:34] <DarkMageZ> VoteForPedro, "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade"
[12:34] <McNutella> thank you
[12:34] <McNutella> and napoleon dynamite is cool.. *chokes*
[12:34] <VoteForPedro> DarkMageZ, thank you :)
[12:35] <dingus9> humanpersonman: me too skeptec that is
[12:35] <Dewbie> in my line of work I see those shirts all the time, most times I want to grab them and beat the urge to vote for pedro out of them...
[12:35] <humanpersonman> they will start, run into a problem and say. We'll have kick ass flash 10 for linux
[12:36] <VoteForPedro> DarkMageZ, is there a reference somewhere so i can check for this kind of stuff on my own?
[12:36] <dingus9> omg: its trying to scan the friggen mirrior again and the lan isn't configured
[12:36] <Steven_> humanpersonman: thanks for the info :)
[12:36] <humanpersonman> !wiki
[12:36] <ubotu> wiki is http://wiki.ubuntu.com - Loads of user-contributed documentation
[12:37] <dingus9> ooohhh lol the install keeps auto configing my ethernet I guess I will have to unplug
[12:37] <britishseapower> what can i use to clean thermal paste off my CPU ?
[12:38] <humanpersonman> britishseapower, I see why you came to #ubuntu
[12:38] <marcin_ant> hi guys
[12:38] <zsuzsi> hi
[12:38] <humanpersonman> maybe ubotu knows
[12:38] <humanpersonman> !clean thermal pase off my cpu
[12:38] <ubotu> I know nothing about clean thermal pase off my cpu - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:38] <DarkMageZ> VoteForPedro, there is a changelog to see what has changed in the gnome packages. but i'm not sure where to find the ones for such an old version of ubuntu
[12:38] <marcin_ant> I'm looking for good software that could allow me to create catalogue of my dvd's (with data files)
[12:38] <Hexidigital_> britishseapower::  rubbing alcohol
[12:38] <zsuzsi> i have a problem with wlanassistant under kubuntu... it crashed and says it s a bug. am i in the right place to talk about it?
[12:38] <marcin_ant> can someone suggest such software?
[12:38] <DarkMageZ> VoteForPedro, second, it might not be gnome that is locking up, but something else which hopefully will get updated and fixed
[12:38] <dingus9> Dewbie: you wouldn't happen to be a hitman would you :)
[12:39] <Lynoure> humanpersonman: hardly a ubuntu problem. google for it instead? (it's paste not pase)
[12:39] <humanpersonman> oh that is why ubotu didnt know
[12:39] <marcin_ant> I would like count my dvd's and create browsable/searchable list of files I got on my removable disks
[12:40] <Hexidigital_> britishseapower::  do NOT use anything but rubbing alcohol to clean a cpu... don't even use water to clean off excess alcohol
[12:40] <VoteForPedro> DarkMageZ, ok
[12:40] <zsuzsi> ...?
[12:40] <VoteForPedro> DarkMageZ, im upgrading now :/
[12:41] <dingus9> I use karosine to clean my cpu
[12:41] <SmokeyD> Hi, how do I install truetype fonts?
[12:42] <pawan> how to access adsl in ubuntu
[12:42] <pawan> how to recover partition in ubuntu
[12:42] <humanpersonman> SmokeyD, sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
[12:42] <humanpersonman> SmokeD, but I think the repos are down, so might not work right now
[12:43] <dingus9> pawan: I would start with fdisk
[12:43] <marcin_ant> SmokeyD, create folder named .fonts in your home directory and put your ttype fonts there
[12:43] <frogzoo> is there a better tool than bum for managing initscripts, that will let me change a services state for different run levels?
[12:43] <pawan> fdisk shows all partitions
[12:43] <dingus9> pawan: but your going to have to use parted later
[12:43] <SmokeyD> and if I want to install them system wide?
[12:43] <dingus9> pawan: did you try and mount them then?
[12:43] <pawan> my one partition is ext3
[12:43] <pawan> i want to convert it to fat32
[12:43] <dingus9> ok
[12:43] <humanpersonman> SmokeyD, here is the .deb http://ubuntu.inode.at/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/m/msttcorefonts/msttcorefonts_1.2ubuntu3_all.deb
[12:44] <pawan> how
[12:44] <pawan> using fdisk
[12:44] <dingus9> back up you data and then run fdisk
[12:44] <pawan> ok
[12:44] <Hexidigital_> anyone else having slow (or no) connectivity to the us repos?
[12:44] <dingus9> d   delet the number partion you want
[12:44] <Dewbie> yes dingus9 I am the hitman
[12:44] <Dewbie> BANG!
[12:44] <humanpersonman> Hexidigital_, they are down from what I hear
[12:44] <Dewbie> your dead
[12:44] <Hexidigital_> humanpersonman::  thanks, i wasn't sure
[12:45] <dingus9> Dewbie: lol you don't have my ip do you ?..... oh boy
[12:45] <Gryhed^^> i need a program so i can listen to music directiont from internet :D
[12:45] <pawan> then
[12:45] <pawan> after deleting
[12:45] <pawan> go to windows
[12:45] <pawan> start partition magic
[12:45] <pawan> and format it to fat32
[12:46] <dingus9> pawan: no
[12:46] <humanpersonman> Gryhed^^, do you mean a plugin?
[12:46] <gatekeeper> Gryhed^^: amaroK
[12:46] <dingus9> just make a new partition in fdisk
[12:46] <Gryhed^^> Yes
[12:46] <Gryhed^^> :D
[12:46] <pawan> and also how to access broadband
[12:46] <pawan> then
[12:46] <dingus9> pawan: and change the system id
[12:46] <humanpersonman> !enter
[12:46] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[12:46] <pawan> to
[12:46] <Gryhed^^> humanpersonman: yes
[12:46] <dingus9> pawan: t
[12:46] <dingus9> then
[12:46] <pawan> it is a logical partition
[12:46] <zsuzsi> uh. back. our net went down.
[12:47] <pawan> what is this t
[12:47] <Gryhed^^> gatekeeper: i have it. But its not working =/
[12:47] <dingus9> that lists the partition types
[12:47] <zsuzsi> anyway, can someone tell me where i can talk about a wlanassistant crash?
[12:47] <humanpersonman> Gryhedd^^, mplayer plugin is the best i think, the us repos are down right now so it might not work for you but "sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer" I think does it
[12:47] <humanpersonman> !info mozilla-mplayer
[12:47] <pawan> fdisk -t
[12:47] <ubotu> mozilla-mplayer: MPlayer-Plugin for Mozilla. In repository multiverse, is optional. Version 3.17-1ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 421 kB, installed size 1500 kB
[12:47] <Gryhed^^> humanpersonman:  Thx
[12:47] <gatekeeper> Gryhed^^: have you got sound? are you using the xine engine?
[12:47] <pawan> what about internet
[12:48] <pawan> i have broadband
[12:48] <marcin_ant> ok guys - no response, so maybe I will try again
[12:48] <pawan> how to access it in ubuntu
[12:48] <Hexidigital_> can someone using repos other than us pastebin their /etc/apt/sources.list file, so i can download the packages i need?
[12:48] <gatekeeper> Gryhed^^: MediaPlayerConnectivity firefox addin well usefull
[12:48] <SmokeyD> humanpersonman: I want to install my own fonts, not just the standard ms fonts
[12:48] <dingus9> pawan change it to b
[12:48] <marcin_ant> is there any good software that can create catalogue of files in my collection of cd/dvd?
[12:48] <SmokeyD> But I want to do it system wide, not just for myself
[12:49] <humanpersonman> SmokeyD, no idea
[12:49] <humanpersonman> !fonts
[12:49] <ubotu> Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto
[12:49] <CreativePony> how can I clear any cache'd dns information on my dapper installation?
[12:49] <ubotu> No fonts in flash? Install msttcorefonts, gsfonts, and gsfonts-x11 , No fonts in mplayer? see !mplayer
[12:49] <humanpersonman> oh there, go the the wiki
[12:49] <gatekeeper> Hexidigital_: remove us. or replace with ca.
[12:49] <Hexidigital_> gatekeeper::  oh, ok... thanks
[12:49] <SmokeyD> thanks humanpersonman
[12:49] <dingus9> then write the partition table and run mkfs.vfat /dev/hdax
[12:49] <marcin_ant> SmokeyD, to be honest - sytem wide installation is complicated because you should provide package with your fonts
[12:49] <gatekeeper> Hexidigital_: yw :-)
[12:49] <SmokeyD> didn't know the bot command
[12:49] <SmokeyD> :)
[12:49] <humanpersonman> just a guess
[12:50] <Dewbie> dingus9, I have your IP
[12:50] <Hexidigital_> gatekeeper::  i should've thought it'd be that easy  :-)
[12:50] <Dewbie> but I don't know how to use traceroute
[12:50] <zsuzsi> *sigh* you guys are sure busy :p
[12:50] <Dewbie> so your safe :P
[12:50] <marcin_ant> SmokeyD, so if you want to do this propely I think that you should create deb that will install systemwide
[12:50] <dingus9> lol i know
[12:50] <Dewbie> for now...
[12:50] <dingus9> Dewbie: its a real ip
[12:50] <dingus9> Dewbie: static
[12:51] <gatekeeper> Hexidigital_: I don't know why they haven't got a repos status page somewhere, would seem to make sence
[12:51] <[Wiebel] > hmmz
[12:51] <Dewbie> lol
[12:51] <[Wiebel] > wpa_supplicant is dropping the connection once in a while
[12:51] <humanpersonman> gatekeeper, the repos are down so very seldom, that a page would be kind of stupid
[12:51] <Dewbie> I may be a hitman, but not THE hitman
[12:51] <[Wiebel] > what could cause this?
[12:51] <Hexidigital_> gatekeeper::  perhaps we can make a suggestion to the deveolpers
[12:51] <Hexidigital_> *developers
[12:52] <humanpersonman> gatekeeper, if you really want your stuff, just go into your sources.list and change everywhere that says us to au and you can access the australian repos which are up
[12:52] <gatekeeper> humanpersonman: well seems like the us ones have been down for a couple of days
[12:53] <dingus9> pawan: did yo get it formated?
[12:53] <humanpersonman> !ops
[12:53] <ubotu> Help! lilo, lamont, Keybuk, jdub, Amaranth, tritium, ajmitch, crimsun, ogra, CarlK, Seveas, Burgundavia, apokryphos, thoreauputic, nalioth, Madpilot, ompaul, rob, Hobbsee or gnomefreak!
[12:53] <gatekeeper> humanpersonman: I know that and have been passing the message round although I don't use the us repos, but there are loads of people who don't know
[12:54] <Hexidigital_> humanpersonman::  why did you call the ops?
[12:54] <Seveas> humanpersonman, ?
[12:54] <gatekeeper> Hexidigital_: looks like the problem is spreading :-(
[12:54] <gatekeeper> brb
[12:54] <Hexidigital_> gatekeeper::  i just got a timeout
[12:54] <humanpersonman> i wanted to see who they were, I didn't realize that called them, just thought it listed them
[12:54] <Hexidigital_> Seveas::  are you guys aware the canada repos are down also?
[12:56] <bilss_> hello
[12:57] <_stefan> hello, what can I do? -> shell-script -> var=`command` -> echo $var  ----> what is when the command to late makes an output (in 30 minutes twice)?
[12:57] <Hexidigital_> gatekeeper::  any luck?
[12:57] <dingus9> A virus to whome ever made this install script crash if it can't resolve an online repository. and a whole bunch of spam too
[12:57] <Hexidigital_> dingus9::  a US repo?
[12:58] <bilss_> fyre|work found a great little help  here http://www.ss64.com/bash/chmod.html
[12:58] <Hexidigital_> gatekeeper::  i was able to connect to au repos
[12:59] <dingus9> Hexidigital_: yup, I did sudo ifdown eth0 thinking I was going to get around that and behold it braught it back up on me. so now for the third time I am going to have to try to install this thing
[01:00] <dingus9> Hexidigital_: I think that the install script should have a thirty second timout on it and then say oh well Ill let the user do this later and keep installing the dang system
[01:00] <Hexidigital_> dingus9::  well, the united states repos are down, apparently so are the canadian ones... i was able to connect to the australia ones though...
[01:00] <Hexidigital_> dingus9::  for installing a ethernet card?
[01:00] <bigfoot1> On a fresh install of  the latest Ubuntu Gnome, what apps are installed by default in the Sound & Video submenu/category? Please advise
[01:00] <Gryhed^^> how i got mozilla  mplayer
[01:00] <dingus9> Hexidigital_: no a kubuntu dapper
[01:00] <bilss_> to change ownership from say admin admin  /etc/whatever  to news news /etc/whatever is the correct line chown news:news  /etc/whatever?
[01:01] <Hexidigital_> dingus9::  oh
[01:01] <pawan1> how to access internet
[01:01] <dingus9> Hexidigital_: it crashes if it isn't able to resolve the repos
[01:01] <Hexidigital_> bigfoot1::  serpentine, sound juicer, movie player, rhythmbox, sound recorder
[01:01] <pawan1> what is parted
[01:02] <pawan1> gparted
[01:02] <Hexidigital_> dingus9::  oh.. well, i havent installed from a cd more recent than Flight 6, so i'm used to the "old way"
[01:02] <Hexidigital_> dingus9::  on top of using gnome
[01:02] <bigfoot1> Hexidigital_: thanks. Nothing else?
[01:02] <dingus9> pawan: parted is a disk partition manager.... same as parted only gtk
[01:02] <pawan1> how to use it
[01:03] <Hexidigital_> bigfoot1::  nope (but keep in mind, i use Flight 6 to install, not LTS)
[01:03] <dingus9> Hexidigital_: well I have had quite a bit of trouble with most of the dapper installers as of yet
[01:03] <pawan1> internet
[01:03] <pawan1> broadband
[01:03] <Hexidigital_> dingus9::  why not download the alternative install, and go from there? (afaik, it works flawless)
[01:04] <dingus9> Hexidigital_: hmm is it text?
[01:04] <bigfoot1> Hexidigital_:
[01:04] <bigfoot1> i see
[01:04] <Hexidigital_> dingus9::  like i said, i use Flight 6 install cd, so i'm not sure
[01:05] <Hexidigital_> bigfoot1::  was there a problem you needed help with?
[01:05] <pawan1> what is sudo command
[01:05] <dingus9> Hexidigital_: Ill check into that one. I don't like the whle live cd thing it just takes to long to boot up and then find out that it crashes
[01:05] <reiki> ok dumb question time. I've only been using Ubuntu for a year...  with us archive down I see in topic to switch to another CC.archive... how?
[01:05] <dingus9> lol
[01:06] <dingus9> reiki:  sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:06] <Hexidigital_> dingus9::  i'm not a fan of Live either... my suggestion is (if you have the time) to download the alternative (or even server) install, and go from there
[01:06] <Hexidigital_> dingus9::  server does not install a GUI, but that can  be fixed with sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[01:06] <bigfoot1> Hexidigital_: not really a problem. IThis computer I'm using will be going to its new owner.
[01:06] <melle> is there a good alternative for gaim? (im only using the msn protocol) i really dont feel it whit gaim :)
[01:06] <bilss_> to change ownership from say admin admin  /etc/whatever  to news news /etc/whatever is the correct line chown news:news  /etc/whatever?
[01:06] <pawan1> sudo -l means
[01:06] <reiki> dingus9, and actually change instances of "us.archive...." to CC.archive.... ?
[01:06] <bigfoot1> and i'd like to get things back as much as I can to how Ubntuu would be if she were to do a fresh install.
[01:06] <bigfoot1> that's all
[01:07] <Hexidigital_> reiki::  or au (austrailia)
[01:08] <Hexidigital_> reiki::  afaik, CC means Country Code
[01:08] <dingus9> Hexidigital_: lol Im used to the debian server install cd. I usually dump it right after I get apt and mount etc then just apt-get every thing my self. I always found that to be less of a hassle when installing other window managers
[01:08] <reiki> ack!  that coulda been interesting, huh?
[01:08] <reiki> :)
[01:08] <pawan1> hi
[01:08] <Hexidigital_> reiki::  yes :)
[01:08] <reiki> Hexidigital_, is there canadian archive? it would be closer. :)
[01:08] <dingus9> reiki: or just drop the us.archive and go with archive
[01:08] <Hexidigital_> dingus9::  all of my installs have been server, than i install the GUI i want
[01:08] <dingus9> it was still up last i checked
[01:09] <Hexidigital_> reiki::  canada is down also
[01:09] <reiki> hmmmm... ok
[01:09] <reiki> thanks, guys
[01:09] <Hexidigital_> reiki::  np
[01:09] <Hexidigital_> reiki::  dont forget to change your repos back when this is all fixed
[01:10] <reiki> yeah I'm just saving my sources.list as US-sources.list. I'll edit and save as sources.list and just copy it back over when things straighten out
[01:12] <livingdaylight> reiki: could you do some distant reiki on my ankle?
[01:12] <reiki> livingdaylight, ..... right ankle?
[01:12] <livingdaylight> left
[01:12] <livingdaylight> bad sprain
[01:12] <Hexidigital_> reiki::  you're right
[01:12] <reiki> hmmm.... ok... where on globe are you?
[01:12] <Hexidigital_> reiki::  not "
[01:13] <livingdaylight> reiki: London, uk
[01:13] <Hexidigital_> reiki::  not "you're correct"... but his/her left ankle would be you're right side  :)
[01:13] <reiki> livingdaylight, ok I will send
[01:13] <livingdaylight> reiki: thank you  :D
[01:13] <reiki> Hexidigital_, it's that whole US/UK thing... they drive on the wrong side of the road too :)
[01:13] <Hexidigital_> reiki::  :-)
[01:14] <reiki> almost forgot to apt-get update :)
[01:16] <kintaro0e> hello everyone, i would like to ask..i'm running ubuntu server as my server box..and i'm planning to install vmware-sever, do i need to install X and Gnome on it?please advice! :)
[01:16] <BazziR> you can install the vmware GUI things remotely afaik
[01:16] <Hexidigital_> kintaro0e::  not necessarily... if you want "ease of use", yes... if you want to remotely control the machines, no
[01:17] <kintaro0e> Hexidigital_..ah..ok..so if i want to install virtual os guest like windows xp..how will i do it?
[01:17] <Hexidigital_> kintaro0e::  do you have a machine you can remotely connect with?
[01:18] <reiki> wow... au.archive is as fast as us.archive ever was :)
[01:18] <mandie26> hello
[01:18] <Hexidigital_> kintaro0e::  (there is a LOT of doc on vmware CLI stuff, but it is intense)
[01:18] <kintaro0e> Hexidigital_..right now i have my server with ubuntu and a client computer to connect on the server..
[01:18] <zsh> hello mandie26
[01:19] <mukiex> cc . thanks guys =3
[01:19] <Hexidigital_> kintaro0e::  there's a remote connection tool (vmware-mui, i think) that you can use, which will be GUI
[01:19] <Hexidigital_> kintaro0e::  that will leave the GUI stuff off of your server (which is what I do)
[01:19] <mandie26> i have a little problem, when i boot, usplash (i think it is called that way..) goes mad, but it boots perfect, but after, i have no consoles (alt+F1, f2, f3) and when i shut down, everything is black...
[01:19] <kintaro0e> Hexidigital_..ah..ok..thanks a lot on your advice..heheh..cool
[01:20] <Hexidigital_> kintaro0e::  no prob :)
[01:20] <insidius> Is there a way to add apt to the system if it does not go on properly with the first install?
[01:20] <mandie26> any suggestions
[01:20] <axyjo> hello
[01:21] <bigfoot1> does anybody here (still) use XMMS?
[01:21] <Gryhed^^> 
[01:21] <axyjo> can anyone help me with a major problem I have?
[01:21] <Hexidigital_> !anyone
[01:21] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[01:21] <mandie26> i have a little problem, when i boot, usplash (i think it is called that way..) goes mad, but it boots perfect, but after, i have no consoles (alt+F1, f2, f3) and when i shut down, everything is black...
[01:21] <mandie26> bigfoot1, i use it, why?
[01:22] <axyjo> i put my home directory on a fat32 partition as root (using sudo) and now all the files are owned by root.  I cant log on unless I use the root user to log in.  I need to fix this asap
[01:22] <axyjo> @ubotu: lol
[01:22] <bigfoot1> mandie26: i'm just wondering if I should keep XMMS for tis computer's next owner. I installed XMMS in my hoary days, when I was a week old in Linux. I was being greedy and trying a lot of software. I don't want to confuse the new owner though, as she's going to be new to Ubuntu/Linux
[01:23] <bigfoot1> confuse means overwhelm with too many choices in the menu
[01:23] <mandie26> bigfoot1, i would suggest to put a winamp skin, so... no confusion, and looks familiar
[01:23] <bigfoot1> mandie26: but isn't beep media player then what looks like winamp?
[01:23] <bigfoot1> mandie26: how do you put a skin on anyway?
[01:23] <axyjo> anyone?
[01:24] <mandie26> bigfoot1,  just put it on the skins folder under ~/.xmms/
[01:24] <fyre|work> axyjo: sudo chmod -R yourusername:yourusername /home/yourusername
[01:24] <bigfoot1> mandie26: do you find xmms better than bmp?
[01:24] <mandie26> bigfoot1, xmms is like a winamp clone
[01:24] <mandie26> bigfoot1, for what i do with it... yes
[01:24] <bigfoot1> mandie26: hmmm. maybe my friend will like rythymbox
[01:24] <void^> bmp is based on xmms, but with gtk2
[01:24] <bigfoot1> i don't know. what do you think?
[01:24] <bigfoot1> do you think former Winamp users will like Rythymbox? or at least find it as easy to use?
[01:25] <mandie26> i tried so many players... but at the end, just for listening my music... i prefer xmms
[01:25] <axyjo> fyre|work: do you mean chown?
[01:25] <bigfoot1> where do i get the winamp skin?
[01:25] <mandie26> with my multimedia keys.. is perfect
[01:26] <insidius> Is there a way to get apt onto a system if it was not put on properly during the initial install?
[01:26] <bigfoot1> i have this program called GLAME in my Sound&Video menu. What is it?
[01:26] <bigfoot1> Do i need it?
[01:26] <mandie26> bigfoot1, u can use any CLASSIC winamp skin
[01:26] <mandie26> form the winamp page
[01:26] <bigfoot1> mandie26: ok
[01:27] <mandie26> i have a little problem, when i boot, usplash (i think it is called that way..) goes mad, but it boots perfect, but after, i have no consoles (alt+F1, f2, f3) and when i shut down, everything is black...
[01:29] <axyjo> i put my home directory on a fat32 partition as root (using sudo) and now all the files are owned by root.  I cant log on unless I use the root user to log in.  I need to fix this asap.  i tried to chown -R it but it says invalid user.
[01:30] <fyrestrtr> axyjo: what is your login name?
[01:30] <axyjo> akshay
[01:31] <Seveas> axyjo, you can't chown fat32
[01:31] <axyjo> i tried chown -R akshay:akshay /home/akshay but it didnt work
[01:31] <fyrestrtr> axyjo: put that in there chown -R akshay:akhsay /home/akshay
[01:31] <Seveas> you need to mount it properly
[01:31] <CappO> hellow, i have a question, i have a laptop with ubuntu breezy, want to install ndisgtk, don't have internet so can't do apt-get, have the files on my laptop, how do i install this: make... ?
[01:31] <fyrestrtr> axyjo: why is it fat32?! (didn't read that part)
[01:31] <Seveas> axyjo, and don't mount fat32 as your home
[01:31] <axyjo> i did it by accident
[01:31] <Seveas> that will mean much problems
[01:31] <axyjo> because i thougt i could share files
[01:31] <axyjo> from windows and linux
[01:31] <axyjo> ...
[01:31] <Seveas> UNMOUNT IT
[01:32] <Seveas> sorry, caps lock

[01:36] <axyjo> Seveas: after mounting, do i make a new /home directory and copy all the files over?

[01:39] <Seveas> SeanTater, was a <tab> error I assume ;)
[01:39] <fyrestrtr> bigfoot1: gimp and sane
[01:39] <SeanTater> Seveas: I guess so, but it works, I do use nvidia
[01:39] <mandie26> Seveas, no, no vga params..
[01:39] <bigfoot1> fyrestrtr: just those 2?
[01:39] <fyrestrtr> bigfoot1: gimp, xsane, gthumb
[01:39] <bigfoot1> fyrestrtr: just those 3?
[01:39] <henry54> any pointer please on how to "replicate" a machine by copying some pkg list and the /var/apt/cache to a new machine and install the same set on new box after basic install from Ubuntu 5.10?
[01:40] <fyrestrtr> bigfoot1: yes
[01:40] <Seveas> mandie26, try the nv driver. If that works: complain at nvidia and disable usplash
[01:40] <fiveiron> quick... whats the : command to save a file in vim?

[01:40] <bigfoot1> on ubuntu?
[01:40] <bigfoot1> is there an ofificial list of what apps are installed by default on Ubuntu Gnome?
[01:40] <fyrestrtr> bigfoot1: please ask the real question.
[01:41] <chbluhme>  hi..i got a smaller problem with ubuntu and iptables. could anyone help me? or is this the wrong channel?
[01:41] <bigfoot1> fyrestrtr: it is my real question
[01:41] <bigfoot1> .
[01:41] <fyrestrtr> bigfoot1: I just told you what were the apps installed under graphics.
[01:41] <bigfoot1> fyrestrtr: yes, i just want to confirm this info
[01:41] <bigfoot1> because the first time you gave an answer, you gave 2 apps.
[01:41] <bigfoot1> later you gave 3
[01:41] <bigfoot1> just wanted to make suer
[01:41] <bigfoot1> no pdf viewrs? xpdf or gnomepdf viewer?
[01:42] <Seveas> bigfoot1, evince is installed but not in the menu
[01:42] <fyrestrtr> bigfoot1: firefox, evolution, openoffice, gimp, gthumb, xsane, rhythmbox. PDF viewer is part of nautilus.
[01:42] <Steph14> Does ubuntu support wine as part of the install?
[01:42] <Seveas> fyrestrtr, evince is not part of nautilus
[01:42] <Seveas> Steph14, no
[01:42] <bigfoot1> fyrestrtr: now your list has grown
[01:42] <fyrestrtr> bigfoot1: yes, because it includes things not in the graphics menu.
[01:42] <Steph14> So how do I install wine?
[01:43] <fyrestrtr> !wine
[01:43] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[01:43] <Seveas> bigfoot1, hint: apt-cache depends ubuntu-desktop
[01:43] <CappO> is it normal if you see in a terminal: bash: make: command not found ?
[01:44] <Seveas> !compiling > CappO
[01:44] <fyrestrtr> CappO: yes, you need to install build-essential -- but first, find out whatever you are building is not in !software
[01:44] <NAiL> Does anyone have a grub.conf from edgy? (And can someone paste it to pastebin? :))
[01:44] <bigfoot1> Seveas: thanks. i'm suprised. that list isn't as long as i was thinking.
[01:44] <Seveas> NAiL, there is no grub.conf and edgy --> #ubuntu+1
[01:44] <fyrestrtr> NAiL: why would it be different?
[01:45] <NAiL> fyrestrtr: Dunno, but grub went all screwy on me so I had to install manually. So I can't boot quite yet :-P
[01:45] <NAiL> Seveas: thanks for the pointer :)

[01:55] <dapper> i have a little question
[01:55] <bigfoot1> dapper:  we have a little answer just for you.
[01:55] <dapper> do we can make a partition with 3 physical drives
[01:55] <Warbo> dapper: You want LVM
[01:55] <dreamthief> "do we can" ?
[01:55] <_atomic> Hi
[01:56] <Warbo> !lvm
[01:56] <ubotu> Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[01:56] <dapper> Warbo: i have 3 hd drives
[01:56] <bigfoot1> dreamthief: no can do.
[01:56] <darth_gimp> anyone running the flock browser?
[01:56] <dreamthief> lol
[01:56] <dapper> Warbo: and i would like to ake one partition with them if it is possible
[01:56] <darth_gimp> I need a hand installing it
[01:56] <Kezer> Warbo, it isn't inside there
[01:56] <Warbo> dapper: You make partitions as "physical volumes", then group all of them into a "volume group" which acts like a big hard drive, and make "logical volumes" in that, which act like partitions
[01:56] <Frizz0> hey
[01:57] <dapper> Warbo: hou can i do that pls
[01:57] <dreamthief> dapper, just try making logical a partition across the three physical drives with the logical volume manager
[01:57] <Warbo> dapper: It's called Logical Volume Management, see the link from Uboty above
[01:57] <Warbo> dapper: I don't think the graphical installer supports them, you may have to use the text installer
[01:58] <dapper> Warbo: could i make it without reinstalling ubuntu
[01:58] <dreamthief> yes
[01:58] <dreamthief> is's no problem
[01:58] <Warbo> dapper: Yes, you can make the logical volumes, mount them, then copy all of your stuff across (copying an Ubuntu system to a different drive doesn't stop it working)
[01:59] <Warbo> dapper: The GRUB bootloader doesn't understand LVM though, so you will need a real partition for /boot
[01:59] <mikearthur> I'm trying to install a really minimal X for a server, and already have a server install. I've installed xserver-xorg but its complaining about fonts, any ideas?
[01:59] <dapper> in fact i have ubuntu installed on the drives
[01:59] <dapper> Warbo: one fot / one for usr and one for hoe
[01:59] <dapper> home
[02:00] <Warbo> dapper: You can't convert existing partitions to LVM without losing data, however due to the way LVM works you can keep adding more space to it as you copy more stuff on to it, until eventually all of your stuff is stored on it
[02:01] <dreamthief> it's even possible to ad a fourth or fifth drive to the logical partition on the fly while you're wokring with ubuntu ^^
[02:01] <Warbo> dapper: I would start with a GParted CD and shrink your partitions as much as possible (leave a bit of free space in / though)
[02:01] <Warbo> dreamthief: As long as you don't try to hotplug an IDE drive :)
[02:01] <dapper> ok
[02:01] <dapper> thank you
[02:02] <DoctorMO> i have sound input problems, I have a pci sound card and a usb sound input device, yet I can't get any input from the usb device (to be frank alsa is very confuised about which device it's using for both input and output)

[02:03] <ubotu> To mount an .iso image: sudo mount -o loop my.iso /some/mountpoint - bin/cue can be converted to iso with bchunk  .iso images of Ubuntu CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com Always verify the .iso before burning, see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows

[02:24] <DoctorMO> I feel like the sound devices are just out of reach, they don't seem to act like normal linux drivers with normal dev nodes, yet alsa is compleatly unconfigurable.
[02:24] <gusgizmo> syntaxx: ut2k4
[02:24] <Coffeegrinds> cello_rasp: why not play with other repositories?
[02:25] <syntaxx> gusgizmo, like? yeah i already done samba and mysql too
[02:25] <Android`> is there a way to create a perform list for gaim like in mIRC?
[02:25] <syntaxx> gusgizmo, whats a ut2k4?
[02:25] <Warbo> DoctorMO: There is alsactrl or something I think
[02:25] <gusgizmo> its a game
[02:25] <interfear> syntaxx: unreal tournament
[02:25] <syntaxx> ic
[02:25] <gusgizmo> syntaxx: you can run game servers under linux
[02:25] <Coffeegrinds> unreal!!!!
[02:25] <Coffeegrinds> woot woot
[02:25] <interfear> bleh.. games
[02:25] <fiveiron> lol
[02:25] <interfear> i only have a 6600gt
[02:25] <DoctorMO> Warbo: used it, doesn't do what I want
[02:26] <interfear> and i refuse to spend money on video cards anymore..
[02:26] <Coffeegrinds> voodoo 3 suckas beat that! (pci to boot!)
[02:26] <gusgizmo> syntaxx: vpn services, jabber, irc, echo, streaming media
[02:26] <rexbinary> Tremulous :)
[02:26] <interfear> cuz in a month its out of date
[02:26] <interfear> so i told myself whenever i feel like playing a video game, pickup my guitar, its more productive
[02:26] <syntaxx> gusgizmo, oh ok a lot ^^ but im confuse in what will be my next setup teehee
[02:27] <gusgizmo> syntaxx: nfs, X11 (but sucks), freenx, ntp, hula, webdav
[02:27] <gusgizmo> thats just to name a few
[02:27] <DoctorMO> Warbo: problem is, alsa seems to just be a collection of misadventured good ideas built into funny little scripts with no concept of a whole system.
[02:27] <gusgizmo> what do you need your setup to do?
[02:27] <xxpor|away> devster: u noob
[02:27] <Coffeegrinds> interfear: do you record anything under linux? just wondering cause i have yet to find any decent audio apps that don't require other applications to do things.. (looking for more of a Sound forge type package)
[02:27] <Warbo> DoctorMO: Well it works for me :)
[02:27] <xxpor|away> :P
[02:27] <devster> shaddup nubcake
[02:28] <gusgizmo> Coffeegrinds: doesn't audacity record?
[02:28] <syntaxx> gusgizmo, nothin much well im just a student who wants to learn stuff about linux/servers
[02:28] <xxpor|away> ouch
[02:28] <Coffeegrinds> yeah but I'm just not happy with it..
[02:28] <devster> what repository servers are up?
[02:28] <interfear> Coffeegrinds: no i currently dont, unfortunatley, besides i think i would need some type of sound card in order to plug my guitar in or something..
[02:28] <Seveas> devster, se.archive, au.archive, nl.archive
[02:29] <interfear> Coffeegrinds: if your looking for stuff to record guitar there is this thing called GuitarPort made by line6 which is really cool, but it only works in winblows
[02:29] <gusgizmo> syntaxx: for personal use, i have two servers. one is linux and runs ssh. ftp. and samba, the other is windows and runs exchange
[02:29] <DoctorMO> Coffeegrinds: I'd be happy if I could get sound input at all, 2 sound devices, one should be set to input the other to output how hard does this seem?
[02:29] <gusgizmo> very handy
[02:29] <syntaxx> gusgizmo, that is why im wondering what other services should i need to learn especially on a desktop server
[02:29] <devster> aaand whats the proper package to install lame? is it toolame
[02:29] <gusgizmo> syntaxx: what do you mean by "desktop server," like your workstation?
[02:29] <syntaxx> gusgizmo, i have mysql+web+email+ftp on my workstation
[02:30] <syntaxx> gusgizmo, yes
[02:30] <interfear> syntaxx: sell shells !
[02:30] <interfear> lol
[02:30] <gusgizmo> syntaxx: on my workstation i just basically export my home directory a couple differemt ways for remote access to my files over the net and lan
[02:30] <Zambezi> Warbo, I'm not sure how you mean with "man bchunk". Where should I right the filename of the *.bin-file?
[02:30] <Coffeegrinds> DoctorMo: Doesn't surprise me one bit
[02:30] <gusgizmo> syntaxx: as well as allow remote shell access so i can tweak with it remotely if need be
[02:30] <pcfan> Why is ubuntu.com down ?
[02:30] <syntaxx> interfear, lol well my speed is not that fast though im just on 386kbps
[02:31] <Seveas> pcfan, /topic
[02:31] <interfear> pcfan: because its busy  taking over microsoft.com
[02:31] <Seveas> !bug1
[02:31] <ubotu> I know nothing about bug1 - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[02:31] <gusgizmo> syntaxx: if you dont have it, you should setup openssh, and set your network up so you can ssh in over the internet
[02:31] <pcfan> OOOf
[02:31] <Warbo> Zambezi: "man bchunk" gives you the manual for bchunk. Type it into a terminal
[02:31] <word> !tell devster about lame
[02:31] <ubotu> I know nothing about lame - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[02:31] <word> meh
[02:32] <word> !tell devster about free
[02:32] <syntaxx> gusgizmo, well i have also my openssh forgot to mention it though
[02:32] <gusgizmo> syntaxx: have you played with tunneling at all?
[02:32] <syntaxx> gusgizmo, hmm not really
[02:32] <interfear> anyone here use audacity?
[02:33] <Warbo> interfear: I do
[02:33] <gusgizmo> syntaxx: you should mess around with it, and scp and stuff. and maybe vnc
[02:33] <interfear> Warbo: so essentially i could probably plug my guitar into the mic input on my soundcard and record in audacity?
[02:34] <interfear> i wonder how that would sound
[02:34] <alice> Are the repositories down?
[02:34] <gusgizmo> syntaxx: i find that setting up robust remote access is good practice
[02:34] <Warbo> interfear: Theoretically yes. I wouldn't know about the recording levels you would have to use
[02:34] <interfear> alice: topic
[02:34] <boga> is there a tool to log how much data I have down loaded thru an interface? I need this coz my ISP is ripping me off in my opinion. Thanx
[02:34] <interfear> Warbo: yeh.. ok. im gonna check that out thanks
[02:34] <syntaxx> gusgizmo, ok thanks
[02:34] <alice> I fell sheepish, thx
[02:34] <gusgizmo> does anyone have a good url for an alternate repository?
[02:34] <alice> *feel
[02:35] <protocol1> how do I change my repositories from donwloading from the US
[02:35] <interfear> man what they were just making on food network is making me drool.. .wild mushroom risotto w/ seared scallops
[02:35] <interfear> dam
[02:35] <protocol1> to like denmark or somwhere else
[02:35] <interfear> i want some
[02:35] <fyrestrtr> boga: ifconfig will give you that info
[02:35] <Seveas> gusgizmo, protocol1 just be patient and wait for them to restore the servers
[02:35] <boga> fyrestrtr: really! Let me see.
[02:36] <protocol1> Seveas. ok that sounds reasonable
[02:36] <fyrestrtr> boga: ifconfig eth0 | grep RX
[02:36] <fyrestrtr> there is another tool too, but now I'm forgetting what its called....
[02:36] <protocol1> I didnt know the servers were having issues
[02:36] <Warbo> boga: Check the system monitor
[02:36] <fyrestrtr> boga: oh yeah, vnstat :)
[02:37] <Zambezi> Warbo, The manual doesn't help me understand how I should convert the *.bin+*.cue-files to *.iso.
[02:37] <protocol1> Seveas. there was a kernel update
[02:37] <boga> fyrestrtr: Well, it does but what I need is how much I have down loaded or uploaded for a set period like a month in my case.
[02:37] <Warbo> Zambezi: I would install it myself and have a read, but the repos are down :(
[02:37] <fyrestrtr> boga: you need vnstat
[02:37] <miranda82> hello
[02:37] <boga> ok
[02:37] <boga> I'll google that. Thanx
[02:37] <Zambezi> Warbo, I can give the manual in pastebin.
[02:38] <omarkj> Hey, anybody here using the dovecot IMAP/POP3 server, I am having a problem using it with mySQL authentication.
[02:38] <miranda82> when i install something through apt, it works, but output is: Use of uninitialized value in hash element at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/DbDriver/File.pm line 66, <$__ANONIO__> chunk 7536
[02:38] <Warbo> Zambezi: Good idea
[02:38] <miranda82> like 30 times..
[02:38] <protocol1> was it for a security issue or what?
[02:38] <whyameye> there is no firewall in the standard install of Dapper, correct? I'm trying to figure out whySkype isn't working.
[02:38] <Warbo> whyameye: IPTables is installed by default
[02:38] <Warbo> !firewall
[02:38] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed with iptables (in the command line), firestarter (gui, can also setup connection sharing) or shorewall (web interface)
[02:39] <fyrestrtr> shorewall has a web interface?
[02:39] <whyameye> Warbo: is there something I need to do to IPTables for Skype, or am I barking up the wrong tree?
[02:39] <Warbo> whyameye: Probably the wrong tree, but I haven't used Skype
[02:39] <whyameye> woof
[02:39] <Warbo> whyameye: If you have a router then that may be your problem
[02:39] <fyrestrtr> whyameye: by default, iptables lets everything through (iirc). So you might want to start checking with your router to see if ports are forwarded correctly. Also, some ISPs block Skype.
[02:40] <miranda82> when i install something through apt, it works, but output is: Use of uninitialized value in hash element at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/DbDriver/File.pm line 66, <$__ANONIO__> chunk 7536, just like 30 times... it is a bit annoying...
[02:40] <dade`> my macbook still does not sleep
[02:40] <dade`> anyonw with a macbook that sleeps here ?
[02:40] <gusgizmo> is there a way to get apt to install a deb file?
[02:40] <Warbo> dade`: Neither do I
[02:40] <whyameye> Warbo, fyrestrtr: the weird thing is that it worked a few days ago. I wonder if the problem is on Skype's end...
[02:40] <dade`> i mean with ubuntu dapper
[02:40] <fyrestrtr> gusgizmo: dpkg -i foo.deb
[02:40] <phreq> Is anyone else having problems grabbing from Ubuntu reposis?
[02:40] <omarkj> gusgizmo: dpkg -i bar.deb
[02:40] <Warbo> gusgizmo: "sudo dpkg -i filename.deb"
[02:41] <dade`> Warbo, you have a macbook ? what problems you see ?
[02:41] <dade`> (sleepin)
[02:41] <gusgizmo> omarkj: i know about that
[02:41] <fyrestrtr> phreq: us mirrors are down.
[02:41] <whyameye> Warbo, fyrestrtr: so firestarter is a GUI for IPTables?
[02:41] <bigfoot1> is ubuntuforums.org down?
[02:41] <Warbo> dade`: I don't have a Macbook. But I don't sleep :)
[02:41] <fyrestrtr> whyameye: yes.
[02:41] <pawan> error 17
[02:41] <Warbo> whyameye: Yes
[02:41] <gusgizmo> but so that apt will fetch it's dependiencies?
[02:41] <pawan> how to elminate
[02:41] <NeoNmaN> i need macro program to linux when i can record my mouse moves eny bardy can help me?
[02:41] <fyrestrtr> whyameye: so is shorewall.

[02:42] <pawan> error loading grub
[02:42] <phreq> Er. Are any servers still up?

[02:42] <gusgizmo> fyrestrtr: to what?
[02:42] <pawan> error 17
[02:42] <omarkj> gusgizmo: Nope, not to my knowledge. You would have to install the manually. Dpgk will tell you which deps you need.
[02:42] <gusgizmo> fyrestrtr: what is the url?
[02:42] <gusgizmo> omarkj: hmm, thanks
[02:42] <phreq> Just swap us.foo.bar with au.foo.bar?
[02:42] <fyrestrtr> phreq: it should would.
[02:42] <NeoNmaN> Warbo, yes when i can record all i type and move whit keybrodt and mouse
[02:42] <gusgizmo> ah, ok
[02:42] <fyrestrtr> err
[02:42] <omarkj> gusgizmo: Are you trying to install a deb file made for Ubuntu ?
[02:42] <fyrestrtr> it should *work*
[02:43] <phreq> Heh, thanks.
[02:43] <gusgizmo> no, im not trying to install anything right now, but i was curious
[02:43] <gusgizmo> i just did the dependencies by hand for a package earlier
[02:43] <Warbo> gusgizmo: If you install a package with dpkg -i then you can get any dependencies for it afterwards with "sudo apt-get -f install"
[02:43] <santa99> hi, I have a problem with the package system when i want to sudo apt-get update there is the following error message: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[02:43] <santa99> E: Unable to lock the list directory
[02:43] <ironfroggy> I was going to install eclipse, but i am not sure i really want to stick to it. when i remove it, will it remove the 30 or so dependancies that came along with it?
[02:43] <fyrestrtr> santa99: close synaptic
[02:44] <NeoNmaN> Warbo, you know whot program i can use?
[02:44] <santa99> fyrestrtr, this happens also when i close synaptic and do sudo apt-get update
[02:44] <fyrestrtr> ironfroggy: good question -- I don't think it does.
[02:44] <rr72> is the security pack server up? or any pack servers? i am getting time out errors, it might be me tho, internet is really slow
[02:44] <Zambezi> Warbo, http://pastebin.ca/97140
[02:44] <Warbo> NeoNmaN: For screencasts you can use X11VNC+PyVNC2SWF, XVidCap+GVidCap, Istanbul (which I think is broken) or Wink
[02:45] <illusina> Can someone try to apt-get install php5-dev
[02:45] <illusina> It seems that the achive.ubuntu.com site is not working
[02:45] <fyrestrtr> Warbo: I think he wants something he can play back, ala Word macros.
[02:45] <krism> What is a good CC.archive.ubuntu.com to use temporarily?
[02:45] <Mewshi> Top article on slashdot right now : "Microsoft's 12-step program"

[02:45] <rr72> fyrestrtr~ ty
[02:45] <pawan> error 17
[02:45] <omarkj> santa99: There is a program somewhere using the apt database, synaptic maybe didn't close down cleanly, the update manager could be doing something.
[02:45] <pawan> how to elimintae
[02:45] <Mewshi> sounds a lot like AA >.>
[02:45] <illusina> When are they going to be back up??
[02:46] <ironfroggy> fyrestrtr: didnt think so. is there a way to remove dead dependancies? or does apt not track what was installed for dependancies and what i explicitly requested?
[02:46] <santa99> omarkj, how can i clean up ?
[02:46] <ironfroggy> maybe i should ask in #debian?

[02:46] <pawan> could not load ubuntu
[02:46] <illusina> fyrestrtr: Do you know when they are going to be back up?
[02:47] <illusina> fyrestrtr: Or of alternative servers?

[02:47] <pawan> how
[02:47] <phreq> Woohoo!
[02:47] <phreq> Finally, I'm getting somewhere.
[02:47] <fyrestrtr> illusina: I think they are listed on ubuntu.com
[02:47] <Warbo> Zambezi: Looks like just "bchunk filename.bin filename.cue", if you don't have a .cue file then are you sure it is a CD image?
[02:47] <phreq> Aussie mirrors are up.
[02:47] <dade`> fyrestrtr, is that a yes ?
[02:47] <pawan> error 17
[02:48] <fyrestrtr> dade`: sorry, no. I just thought it was funny how you put it.

[02:49] <Zambezi> Warbo, It shows the helpfile.
[02:50] <pawan> how to start gpart
[02:50] <Warbo> Zambezi: You gave it the bin/cue files?
[02:50] <Warbo> pawan: "sudo apt-get install gpart"

[02:51] <illusina> Oh dear!
[02:51] <illusina> Does someone have the aussie mirrors they can send me?
[02:51] <KBlair> Hi, I'm new. I want to install FMOD for a game I want to play but it gives me an "Permission denied" error when I try to copy the library to /usr/lib/, is there a way to identify myself?
[02:51] <pawan> can gpart format partitions
[02:51] <fyrestrtr> illusina: just change all instances of us. to au. in /etc/apt/sources.list -- sudo apt-get update
[02:51] <NeoNmaN> Warbo, IST OKAY
[02:51] <mrcoyote> Yep all
[02:51] <NeoNmaN> Warbo, ups capslock
[02:51] <illusina> fyrestrtr: Should I _change_ them, or just create duplicates?
[02:51] <fyrestrtr> !sudo > KBlair
[02:51] <gusgizmo> im just waiting for au to slow down d:
[02:52] <fyrestrtr> illusina: change
[02:52] <gusgizmo> its flying for me right now though
[02:52] <gusgizmo> since i am in hawaii
[02:52] <Warbo> !info libfmod
[02:52] <ubotu> Package libfmod does not exist in dapper
[02:52] <illusina> fyrestrtr: Thanks for all your help :P
[02:52] <fyrestrtr> gusgizmo: not much but the water between you an aus :0
[02:52] <gusgizmo> im updating my media center box to dapper
[02:52] <Zambezi> Warbo, I add filename.iso after your command and that worked.
[02:52] <Zambezi> Warbo, Thanks.
[02:52] <gusgizmo> fyrestrtr: yeah. water and a straight shot of fiber from a neighbor island
[02:53] <gusgizmo> fyrestrtr: im only three hops away from an aussie router
[02:53] <Warbo> Zambezi: OK, just that from the manual it looked like the <basename> was just for extracting individual tracks
[02:53] <fyrestrtr> gusgizmo: is bandwidth expensive in hawaii?
[02:53] <KBlair> Thanks.
[02:53] <phreq> Maybe Japanese or New Zelander servers?
[02:53] <phreq> Fo illusina, I mean.
[02:53] <santa99> is it possible that there are some repositories down today
[02:53] <gusgizmo> fyrestrtr: nope, im on 6000/768 cable for 49.95 a month
[02:53] <gusgizmo> fyrestrtr:  not terribly expensive anyway
[02:54] <Warbo> We need to add !usrepo to ubotu :)
[02:54] <fyrestrtr> heh, depends on where you live -- bandwidth is like gold here.
[02:54] <fyrestrtr> or change the /topic :)
[02:54] <illusina> I can't even find the package I need on that server -.-
[02:54] <dade`> is there someone who has a macbook that sleeps with dapper ?? <-
[02:54] <fyrestrtr> illusina: do a apt-get update first
[02:54] <illusina> fyrestrtr: brilliant, good point
[02:55] <Warbo> dade`: OK, I could REALLY make a joke with that one :)
[02:55] <gusgizmo> fyrestrtr: where are you?
[02:55] <fyrestrtr> Kuwait
[02:55] <dade`> Warbo, feel free, it's Freesoftware
[02:55] <phreq> I have no bandwidth, I'm still on dialup. :'(
[02:55] <phreq> A situation which can't be remedied. Ah well.
[02:55] <illusina> fyrestrtr: But...but! It still doesn't work it seems
[02:55] <illusina> fyrestrtr: Could the mirrors simply not have packages?
[02:56] <gusgizmo> fyrestrtr: yeah, no shit, i bet half of the twenty connections there go through a linksys router saddam hussein shoved up his ass to get into his country
[02:56] <fyrestrtr> and for the past four days, our international submarine line has had a problem. International bandwidth is cut off, and all three providers are on sat. backup. Not a happy week for me.
[02:56] <dade`> Warbo, under osx and parallels (virtual machine) i manager to sleep windows and linux together
[02:56] <dade`> -- no comment
[02:56] <gusgizmo> well, what used to be his country
[02:56] <santa99> is there a website were ubuntu repositories are listed

[02:58] <Skaag> ok not too bad
[02:58] <Zambezi> Warbo, Is was unsure about that too. I'm not friend yet with textmode. I've only been using Linux for about a month.

[02:59] <s_spiff> guys repos' down ? i cant get most of the lists from the repos in synaptic.
[02:59] <illusina> Does anyone have any mirrors other than the .au ones? They can't work?
[02:59] <fyrestrtr> GaiaX11: picassa or f-spot. Although if you plug it in, it should just work.
[02:59] <phreq> GaiaX11: Is it a USB camera?
[02:59] <santa99> s_spiff, me too
[02:59] <orbin> santa99: you can use a mirror: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive ... but the easiest way is to just change/remove/add the country code in the sources.list file
[03:00] <_rp> read the topic, says services are down
[03:00] <s_spiff> ok..will check it out orbin
[03:00] <santa99> orbin, ok thx

[03:00] <illusina> I think ubuntu got kicked in the face by the internet
[03:00] <orbin> bigfoot1: for me it is
[03:00] <s_spiff> orbin, loads of servers seems down... i cant get most of my lists man!
[03:00] <phreq> If it is a usb camera, you should be able to plug it in, and then the OS will mount the camera's storage in /media

[03:02] <intelligi> Ok.

[03:03] <Warbo> intelligi: Go to "burn:///" to make data CDs, or right click on iso files

[03:05] <CrazyDoode> k3b rocks

[03:14] <phreq> It's somehwere around there, aye.
[03:14] <XVampireX> What happened to the website?
[03:14] <redcard> XVampireX: Topic.
[03:14] <Android`> how do i access my fat32 partition from ubuntu?
[03:14] <orbin> GStubbs43: ahh, the ol' guess the number :)
[03:14] <GStubbs43> uh huh, I made a few mods to it though.. timer specifically
[03:14] <XVampireX> ok
[03:15] <maxkelley> hi, can someone help me fix CUPS? It won't print anything, and it is printing over SMB
[03:15] <phreq> Android`: mout -t vfat <partitio ngoes here> /mnt
[03:15] <phreq> Also, see man mount
[03:15] <phreq> And ah... (fs|m)tab
[03:16] <phreq> Er, mout should be mount, sorry.
[03:17] <orbin> GStubbs43: woohoo, broke 10 seconds
[03:18] <GStubbs43> Woo! Good job, my best is like 6.xxx seconds
[03:18] <Manchester> nn svensk hr?
[03:18] <GStubbs43> It is different number every time so I can't cheat. ;)
[03:19] <phreq> Dial up is such a pain.
[03:19] <GStubbs43> That's why you get DSL.
[03:19] <boga> want to buy a cheap dual-head video card that's good on Dapper. Any ideas? I do not do 3d!
[03:19] <GStubbs43> :p
[03:19] <phreq> Can't. :P
[03:19] <GStubbs43> too bad.
[03:20] <phreq> boga: I think that cheap, nVidia GeForce cards work decently for just about any application.
[03:20] <phreq> The drivers are binary and nonfree, though.
[03:20] <phreq> Don't take my word on it though. :P
[03:20] <boga> thxn
[03:20] <Falc> Okay. Judging by the topic it's not just me who can't access the site.
[03:20] <mp3guy> in relation to ndiswrapper, what does SIOCGIFFLAGS error: no such device mean?
[03:21] <GStubbs43> nope, the site is down
[03:21] <Hawley> any idea when it will be back up?
[03:21] <reiki> Falc: edit /etc/apt/sources.list and change us.archive to au.archive ... I just did this a little bit ago
[03:21] <shiv> when are ubuntuforums going to be up again?
[03:21] <Falc> I don't have Ubuntu yet..
[03:21] <reiki> oh!
[03:21] <phreq> Be careful which kind you buy though, of course. If you have just one AGP slot but a bunch of free PCI, get two PCI, of course.
[03:22] <Falc> I want to download Xubuntu. Google cache is err... mind blowingly confusing to use
[03:22] <dink> is there any reason why  us.archive.ubuntu.com is so slow today
[03:22] <phreq> It's down.
[03:22] <dink> alternative mirror then?
[03:22] <Android`> mount -t vfat <partition goes here> /mnt <-- what will my FAT32 partition be called?
[03:22] <_rp> http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/releases/6.06/release/
[03:22] <GStubbs43> err... I just found an error in my script. 15.xxxxx seconds shows you got less than 15 and more than 15. shoot.
[03:22] <reiki> dink: edit /etc/apt/sources.list and change us.archive to au.archive ... I just did this a little bit ago
[03:22] <Android`> #2 or something?
[03:22] <dink> thanks
[03:22] <phreq> Use the aussie servers (change us.foo.bar to au.foo.bar)
[03:23] <dink> have they posted why the us servers are down
[03:23] <homerh_linux> is there a reason why the sites down
[03:23] <tristanmike> tons of stuff is down, the ".ca" archive is down too
[03:23] <Lynoure> hmm...
[03:23] <foxgamer> Hi all. Just seen the topic that the ubuntu servers are down. Is there a time frame when they'll be available again? TIA
[03:24] <Zambezi> Is wine the best application to emulate windowsapplications?
[03:24] <homerh_linux> oh its a bige then
[03:24] <DrBanzai> How would I change file associations?
[03:24] <phreq> Android`: Try doing sudo fdisk /dev/hda but BE CAREFUL. :P Once in the program hit 'p', and it should should where your FAT partition is. Once that's done, hit q to get out of fdisk.
[03:25] <phreq> It will be like hda7 or something, so you would mount -t vfat /dev/hda7 ...
[03:25] <phreq> This is assuming you have only a single hard disk.
[03:25] <reiki> Zambezi, that probably depends on WHAT windows app
[03:25] <zsh> au servers are fast!!!! :-)
[03:26] <mp3guy> in relation to ndiswrapper, what does SIOCGIFFLAGS error: no such device mean?
[03:26] <GStubbs43> yay! I fixed it!
[03:26] <_rp> it?
[03:27] <maxkelley> _rp: ?
[03:27] <GStubbs43> my python script: http://www.geocities.com/gstubbs43/number.txt
[03:27] <_rp> ah k
[03:27] <maxkelley> GStubbs43: stop.
[03:27] <Falc> Hm...
[03:27] <GStubbs43> ;)
[03:27] <Falc> I can't get xubuntu from anywhere. :/
[03:27] <GStubbs43> I was telling _rp what "it" was.
[03:27] <UBUNTUSER___> hellou
[03:28] <maxkelley> Falc: sounds fun :)
[03:28] <Zambezi> reiki, An imagefile of a CD. It's "education", so I probably just need to install some files and the read from the iamgefile.
[03:28] <UBUNTUSER___> my sinaptyc have a problem
[03:28] <goonies> Falc, in order to use xfce on ubuntu do u need to get xubuntu?
[03:28] <phreq> Android`: Don't know if it helps, but this is Linux names IDE PATA drives as /dev/hda, hdb, hdc and h... nevermind. :P
[03:28] <maxkelley> goonies: no.
[03:28] <UBUNTUSER___> no download nothig
[03:28] <Falc> I don't know. I can't even download it yet!
[03:28] <phreq> I hope it didn't rewrite his partition table. Anyway, I'm out of here.
[03:28] <Lukian> How can I determine what the address of open screens are (the current one), in the form of 0:0 ?
[03:28] <goonies> whats the difference then in using xubuntu
[03:28] <UBUNTUSER___> anybody have a same problem with synaptic???
[03:28] <zsh> security.ubuntu.com is still failing. how do i work around that?
[03:29] <BeBraw> can you recommend some sites for a linux newbie?
[03:29] <dink> when i switch to the au servers it breaks when i try to install rails
[03:29] <maxkelley> goonies: xubuntu has it default-enabled and ubuntu-branded.
[03:29] <mwe> Reading the topic I guess I'm not the only one having problems with the mirrors?
[03:29] <jbroome> mwe: correct
[03:29] <mwe> damn :|
[03:29] <dink> which repositories have to be up for ruby on rails to work
[03:30] <goonies> where as ubuntu has gnome default-enabled and ubuntu-branded?
[03:30] <dink> cause this works when the american servers are up
[03:30] <maxkelley> goonies: correct :)
[03:30] <zsh> security.ubuntu.com is still failing. how do i work around that? please!
[03:30] <reiki> Falc: http://ftp.mirror.sptel.com.au/pub/xubuntu/releases/
[03:30] <goonies> maxkelley, but its basically the same system, just different default window managers
[03:30] <orbin> zsh: i asked if there were mirrors for it but nobody answered.
[03:30] <tristanmike> zsh: uncomment it from your sources.list file
[03:30] <seph> Are anyone familiar with bandwidth problems for the danish mirrors? I'm not talking about the current problems with the security updates
[03:30] <maxkelley> goonies: yeah, basically. I have ubuntu installed, but I use XFCE
[03:31] <seph> The danish mirrors seem to be very slow
[03:31] <goonies> maxkelley, what version of xfce is in the repos
[03:31] <jbroome> i'm not sure there are mirrors of security.u.c like there are of archive
[03:31] <zsh> thanks orbin tristanmike
[03:31] <Lynoure> I couldn't even access ubuntu.com or canonical's site... Maybe accidentally DDoSed by people looking up repos
[03:31] <Lynoure> (just speculation, though)
[03:31] <tuxtux> ciao
[03:32] <maxkelley> goonies: version 4.3.90.2 (Xfce 4.4 BETA1)
[03:32] <orbin> jbroome: damn.  thanks anyway
[03:32] <tristanmike> zsh: I actually meant "comment" them, as in, add the "#" to the front of the line. but don't forget to uncomment them when you're done :)
[03:32] <goonies> cool
[03:32] <zsh> tristanmike. i figured thats what u meant
[03:32] <goonies> will install when i get home later
[03:32] <orbin> seph: check if there's another danish mirror here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive  when the wiki gets back up
[03:32] <maxkelley> goonies: yeah, good choice.. I love XFCE
[03:33] <`DaGuy> !mtod
[03:33] <ubotu> I know nothing about mtod - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[03:33] <goonies> yeah, i got tired of 4.2 though
[03:33] <cga> hi all =)  && i'm using kubuntu is ok if i ask for help here or is there a kubuntu room?
[03:33] <Skaag> so winetools just installs ie6 like that?
[03:33] <seph> orbin: thank you
[03:33] <Seveas> cga, you can ask in here or in #kubuntu 
[03:33] <jbroome> man, i'm glad i did my re-install yesterday. :)
[03:33] <maxkelley> goonies: I liked the little boxes at the end of the main panel..
[03:33] <cga> thx Seveas
[03:33] <maxkelley> dividers, whatever
[03:33] <goonies> yeah
[03:34] <tuxtux> reboot
[03:34] <goonies> does 4.3 support desktop icons?
[03:34] <raf256> Skaag: why use IE O_o ?
[03:34] <Skaag> raf256: my bank's site requires IE :-(
[03:34] <maxkelley> goonies: yeah, you can set it to file/launcher icons or minimized app icons
[03:34] <dmsantam> anyone used xgl here?
[03:34] <Skaag> raf256: the only site I really need
[03:34] <Seveas> !xgl
[03:34] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[03:34] <Skaag> dmsantam: i'm using it
[03:34] <Lukian> How can I determine what the address of open screens are (the current one), in the form of 0:0 ?
[03:34] <reiki> dmsantam, xgl and compiz? yes
[03:34] <linuxuser> are the ubuntu repository servers down at the moment? cannot connect to them now
[03:34] <raf256> Skaag: your bank suck balls. I would quit such bank instantly.
[03:34] <maxkelley> goonies: it'll default use files in ~/Desktop
[03:34] <dmsantam> Skaag, how'd you install it on ubuntu? apt-get install xserver-xgl. anything else
[03:34] <jbroome> linuxuser: /topic and yes
[03:34] <Seveas> linuxuser, /topic
[03:34] <santa99> linuxuser,  look at the topic
[03:35] <goonies> maxkelley, cool
[03:35] <dmsantam> raf256, in korea there is no bank that doesn't require IE :(
[03:35] <jbroome> Skaag: does FF's useragent switcher get you around that?
[03:35] <maxkelley> THE WORLD LOVES TOPIC!
[03:35] <raf256> dmsantam: korea sucks
[03:35] <linuxuser> ok sorry, thanks
[03:35] <Skaag> raf256: All bank sites in Israel require IE6 and up, there are no other banks
[03:35] <ndlovu> hi all. I'm trying to configure ubuntu to connect to the Internet through my mobile phone. anyone able to help?
[03:35] <dmsantam> raf256, their concept of interoperability sucks.. not the country :)
[03:35] <Skaag> jbroome: I tried that, it's horribly broken when I circumvent their checks
[03:35] <maxkelley> my mom's company forbids firefox.
[03:35] <Skaag> dmsantam: I followed the guide on the ubuntu forum, very simple and works in 2 minutes
[03:36] <raf256> well, thoes backs suck then
[03:36] <dmsantam> Skaag, oh ok. ill google for that. thanks
[03:36] <maxkelley> the scary part is, they're a financial company.
[03:36] <reiki> maxkelley, and the university I work at recomends firefox :)
[03:36] <dmsantam> is it stable?
[03:36] <Skaag> raf256: they really do suck! ;-)
[03:36] <raf256> who kicked me?
[03:36] <Skaag> dmsantam: very, i'm using it constantly
[03:36] <maxkelley> reiki: don't many?
[03:36] <dmsantam> excellent :)
[03:37] <Skaag> uh... what have I done...?
[03:37] <raf256> Skaag: it would seem Seveas kicked both of us O_o ?
[03:37] <iGadget> hi
[03:37] <raf256> Seveas: what in the hells name?
[03:37] <goatmale> What did you do skaag?

[03:38] <raf256> Skaag: you are in that coutry that just started a war? O_o scarry
[03:38] <Skaag> what exactly did I break in the COC?
[03:38] <_Spire_> Is it just me, or are the forums down?
[03:38] <iGadget> I tried /etc/fstab, but that's only for static devices

[03:39] <Skaag> santa99: are you talking about USB drives?
[03:39] <jkp> im having troubles with sudo:  it doesnt inherit the environ variables of the calling user.  is there some way to make it work like this?
[03:39] <santa99> Skaag, yeah I'm talking about USB drives
[03:39] <Skaag> santa99: no problem at all, use dmesg to monitor the plugging in/out events, and the devices created for the drive
[03:40] <Skaag> santa99: anyway under ubuntu, they will be mounted automatically under the /media folder
[03:40] <Skaag> santa99: so remember to unmount them first before you run gparted
[03:40] <santa99> Skaag, oh thats the trick to unmount it before
[03:40] <linuxuser> grrr, i need to install k3b to burn zenwalk to cd hehe
[03:40] <iGadget> Skaag: do you know where I can change the default mount options for such devices?
[03:41] <Skaag> santa99: yah, ubuntu is being friendly by auto mounting, which is great, but if you are going to make changes to the partitions, gulp... ;-)
[03:41] <Skaag> iGadget: i'm affraid I don't know how to disable auto-mounting for specific partitions/devices...
[03:41] <linuxuser> so did the ubuntu repositories get dos attacked?
[03:41] <Seveas> linuxuser, no
[03:42] <zsh> seveas what happened
[03:42] <linuxuser> first time ive ever seen any repositories go down
[03:42] <santa99> Skaag, yeah it worked great thx
[03:42] <goonies> jeez, people still dos attack
[03:42] <Seveas> zsh, I don't know the details

[03:42] <Skaag> goonies: imagine what happens if they start to windows attack, or even linux attack..!
[03:42] <XVampireX> I mean, how can I access my brothers computer, for example.
[03:42] <Skaag> iGadget: you can do that in /etc/fstab
[03:43] <Skaag> XVampireX: vnc
[03:43] <zsh> xvampireX do you have a crossover cable
[03:43] <goonies> lol
[03:43] <XVampireX> I need to trade files
[03:43] <Seveas> XVampireX, nfs
[03:43] <XVampireX> crossover cable?
[03:43] <iGadget> Skaag: no... I checked, that's only for 'static' devices
[03:43] <iGadget> Skaag: not for hotplug usb devices
[03:43] <XVampireX> Ah
[03:43] <fourat> Ubuntu archives mirrors are down ?
[03:43] <goatmale> how can Install ubuntu on a computer that doesn't boot off a cd?
[03:43] <goatmale> yes for a day now fourat
[03:43] <Skaag> iGadget: ok there is a hotplug directory system with the ability to create scripts for before/after mounting
[03:43] <Seveas> fourat, /topic
[03:44] <zsh> xvampirex a cable that directly connects two nics
[03:44] <jkp> can someone tell me why sudo env and env give different outputs for PATH ?
[03:44] <Skaag> iGadget: I read about it but I never tried it personally
[03:44] <XVampireX> No, I'm connected through a router
[03:44] <iGadget> Skaag: ok, I'll check
[03:44] <Skaag> XVampireX: you can share a directory with ubuntu, easily
[03:44] <sloof3> jkp: Think about that..
[03:44] <karl> can someone please remind me how to configure the "Desktop" to use my home dir, not the /home/uname/Desktop folder?
[03:44] <XVampireX> How?
[03:44] <goatmale> sudo gedit /etc/apt/ sources.list
[03:44] <jkp> sloof3: I would say it was because you become root and inherit its environ vars
[03:44] <_Spire_> karl: you can symlink your Desktop folder to home folder
[03:45] <Skaag> XVampireX: System -> Administration -> Shared Folders
[03:45] <sloof3> jkp: You would be right
[03:45] <jkp> but i read that this should not happen
[03:45] <jkp> sloof3: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/pdf/Path.pdf
[03:45] <karl> _Spire_: well, yes, but I did it with a click option somewhere in the past
[03:45] <jkp> search for sudo env in that
[03:45] <karl> and symlinking would make a recursive loop on teh desktop folder
[03:45] <_Spire_> karl: a click option?
[03:45] <XVampireX> Skaag, I tried that in the past.... my brother couldn't see the folder?
[03:45] <Seveas> aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh it's apokryphos
[03:45] <_Spire_> karl: in gnome ?
[03:45] <karl> somewhere, yes
[03:45] <iGadget> Skaag: hmmm... seems like /etc/hotplug doesn't exist anymore in dapper
[03:46] <jkp> sloof3: it inherits all the rest of my environ vars
[03:46] <apokryphos> dundun dun
[03:46] <iGadget> re Seveas
[03:46] <jbroome> WTG apokryphos you ran him off
[03:46] <Skaag> iGadget: then it must have been replaced with something else... surely...?
[03:46] <_Spire_> karl: I'll get back to you in a second
[03:46] <jbroome> udev replaced hotplug, IIRC
[03:46] <apokryphos> jbroome: nope, unfortunately he's back
[03:46] <nanaki_yamabushi> I have a problem? is the ubuntu server down?
[03:46] <Skaag> XVampireX: strange, we are using ubuntu here at work, and we can all see each other's shared folders
[03:46] <iGadget> Skaag: yes, probably udev, but I can't find the right script there
[03:46] <Skaag> XVampireX: make sure the network name is the same (mshome I think)
[03:46] <Seveas> nanaki_yamabushi, /topic
[03:46] <apokryphos> 8)
[03:47] <tortoise__> is the ubuntu site down for anyone else?
[03:47] <XVampireX> Does my brother need anything special?
[03:47] <Skaag> tortoise__: topic..!
[03:47] <nanaki_yamabushi> any idea how long it will take?
[03:47] <gnoshi> has anyone looked at minisip or minisplat?
[03:47] <Seveas> nanaki_yamabushi, no
[03:47] <ayeeee> Hi, ive installed xfce4 and i want gnome back, what shall i type?
[03:47] <Seveas> ayeeee, pick gnome when logging in
[03:47] <Skaag> ayeeee: type: heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp! ;-)
[03:47] <nanaki_yamabushi> damn. then i need to make sure, my laptop does not shut down
[03:47] <jkp> sloof3: help me out then - im trying to find a way around the fact that some python install scripts im using will only work a: as root, and b: if the environ is correct
[03:47] <Rambaldi> have you removed gnome?
[03:48] <Skaag> ayeeee: j/k, what seveas said
[03:48] <Rambaldi> if not you can swich when logging in
[03:48] <jkp> running sudo python install.py doesnt work
[03:48] <sloof3> jkp: sudo won't modify the variable but of they are different for root than the normal user then they should be different
[03:48] <jkp> because it doesnt have the correct path set
[03:48] <Skaag> nanaki_yamabushi: being a laptop that's not a big issue, since it has a battery..?
[03:48] <sloof3> jkp: so set the path
[03:48] <ayeeee> Seveas: ive done but it loads "xfce" anyway
[03:48] <Seveas> jkp, then those install.py scripts are wrong
[03:48] <jkp> Seveas: they depend on PATH to find the pre-requiste libs
[03:49] <fortran01> Why are the apt-get mirrors so slow?
[03:49] <jkp> not sure how they could do ti better
[03:49] <jbroome> fortran01: /topic
[03:49] <fyrestrtr> fortran01: /topic
[03:49] <Seveas> jkp, they shouldn't really
[03:49] <Rambaldi> ayeeee, you can propably swich the desktop enviorment when you log in
[03:49] <fortran01> im sorry
[03:49] <apokryphos> fortran01: check the /topic
[03:49] <ayeeee> Rambaldi: how?
[03:49] <Rambaldi> if you havent uninstalles gnome
[03:49] <jkp> Seveas: using standard functonality for install.py scripts
[03:49] <Rambaldi> depends
[03:49] <Rambaldi> look in the options. it will say something like session
[03:49] <Seveas> jkp, you can do sudo -i, set path and then run install.py
[03:49] <nanaki_yamabushi> no it is a dell and loves to overheat easily. and i do not want it to shut down, where after I have to seek over 3000 installs. I had to reinstall ubunut, had troubles after I changed something.
[03:50] <_Spire_> karl: :( I can't seem to find anything.
[03:50] <jkp> Seveas: yeah, sucky though
[03:50] <karl> _Spire_: it's in gconf->apps->nautilus->prefs->desktop_is_home_dir
[03:50] <Rambaldi> you can also remove xfce
[03:50] <karl> (just found it again)
[03:50] <Rambaldi> type sudo apt-get remove xfce4
[03:50] <jkp> so there is no way of just getting sudo to inherit my environ in its entirety?
[03:50] <fortran01> I'm sorry.I'm noob. I don't know how to show the topic.ok ive seen it.Thanks!
[03:50] <_Spire_> karl: thanks :) seems you found it.
[03:50] <julian> Yo, could anyone offer a sitrep? Seems like tons of repos are down as is ubuntu.com and ubuntuforums.org
[03:51] <Rambaldi> I remember that webmin was in the repositories, has it been deleted?
[03:51] <Seveas> Rambaldi, yes
[03:51] <U1221> are the Ubuntu servers down at the moment? can't get to ubuntuforums.org or ubuntu.org
[03:51] <fyrestrtr> julian: sitrep is in /topic
[03:51] <Rambaldi> ok thx
[03:51] <_Spire_> U1221: /topic
[03:51] <jbroome> U1221: /topic
[03:51] <fyrestrtr> U1221: /topic
[03:51] <ayeeee> what shall i "apt-get" to reconfigure gnome?
[03:52] <ayeeee> i want it back :(
[03:52] <Lynoure> hmm
[03:52] <fyrestrtr> apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[03:52] <tuxtux> please for plugin audio to kaffeine-dvb?
[03:52] <Rambaldi> exactly
[03:52] <jbroome> i haven't seen this many kicks in here before. :)
[03:52] <SmokeyD> hey all another question. I heard some people talk about a music player they preferred above xmms. So I had the impression it was more simple like XMMS, and not like Amarok, Rythmbox, Banshee, etc.
[03:52] <SmokeyD> Any ideas?
[03:52] <Skaag> jbroome: yah it's definitely different here atm ;-)
[03:53] <ayeeee> where can i download dapper? the ubuntu site is down.
[03:53] <Seveas> SmokeyD, beep-media-player
[03:53] <Rambaldi> you cant ayeeee
[03:53] <jbroome> ayeeee: /topic
[03:53] <Seveas> ayeeee, se.releases.ubuntu.com
[03:53] <SmokeyD> oh yeah that was it
[03:53] <nanaki_yamabushi> beep is not bad
[03:53] <goatmale> smokey maybe kaffiene
[03:53] <SmokeyD> thanks Seveas
[03:53] <SmokeyD> no it was bee[
[03:53] <SmokeyD> beep*
[03:53] <Skaag> apokryphos: maybe add a link to mirrors?
[03:53] <karl> thank you apokryphos
[03:54] <SmokeyD> ayeeee: I can put an image on my webserver
[03:54] <Seveas> Skaag, people should not change mirrors
[03:54] <apokryphos> Skaag: it's not just repos, it's launchpad, etc
[03:54] <SmokeyD> can you download it fm there
[03:54] <Seveas> they should be *patient*
[03:54] <Skaag> oh I see!
[03:54] <leahciMic> what are the reasons for the down time ?
[03:54] <SmokeyD> where do you live, which country
[03:54] <nanaki_yamabushi> say what is a good desktop switcher if you have like Gnome, KDE and X-server running?
[03:54] <ayeeee> SmokeyD: your welcome to do that.
[03:54] <ayeeee> upstream?
[03:54] <gnoshi> leahciMic - you know internode has dapper mirror on their mirror server....
[03:54] <SmokeyD> 100Mbit
[03:54] <gnoshi> mirror.internode.on.net
[03:54] <apokryphos> nanaki_yamabushi: running or installed?
[03:55] <SmokeyD> up and down
[03:55] <ayeeee> okay, place it please.
[03:55] <leahciMic> yes i am aware... was more interested in the ubuntu forums. jsut wanting to update a news article
[03:55] <iGadget> does anyone know where I can change the default mount options for hotplug usb devices?
[03:55] <gnoshi> ah.
[03:55] <Seveas> iGadget, please stop repeating
[03:55] <blueswirl> does anyone know where the files for the fortune program are kept in ubuntu? the directory listed in the man page is for debian i think
[03:55] <nanaki_yamabushi> I have 3 desktops installed. and would like at times 2 or all running, what is a good desktop switcher for it
[03:55] <SmokeyD> just a sec ayeeee, gotta put it there for a sec
[03:55] <nanaki_yamabushi> without changing user
[03:56] <Seveas> blueswirl, dpkg -L fortunes
[03:56] <iGadget> Seveas: glad someone notices me :P
[03:56] <apokryphos> nanaki_yamabushi: it's not that simple. You'd have to run different X sessions
[03:56] <zsh> blueswirl: ubuntu is a debian based system. what works for debian works for ubuntu
[03:56] <nanaki_yamabushi> well I could run Gnome and KDE together, but switching between them I had to switch users, but I use the same user name.
[03:56] <blueswirl> Seveas, is that the actual files for the program fortune, or the text files it uses to generate the fortunes?
[03:56] <_Spire_> zsh: most of the time. not all the time
[03:56] <iGadget> Seveas: I'd check the wiki before asking in here, but hey... they're down
[03:57] <blueswirl> zsh, true, but the directory given still doesn't work ;-)
[03:57] <SmokeyD> oh, shit ayeeee, I've only got the amd64 version
[03:57] <SmokeyD> sorrt
[03:57] <SmokeyD> sorry*
[03:57] <ayeeee> oh.
[03:57] <zsh> _sphire: i'm yet to find a package that worked for debian but doesnt for ubuntu
[03:57] <apokryphos> nanaki_yamabushi: yes, but you'd have to run them on different X servers if you were going to do it in any proper way
[03:57] <zsh> blueswirl: let me try
[03:58] <nanaki_yamabushi> but how to do it then?
[03:58] <apokryphos> zsh: no, please don't suggest that. Ubuntu is not Debian, and you can quite easily break your package management system if you go around installing debs
[03:58] <apokryphos> nanaki_yamabushi: have multiple X servers
[03:58] <blueswirl> zsh, cheers
[03:58] <apokryphos> it's a little more intensive on your ram, needless to say
[03:58] <nanaki_yamabushi> but how to run it?
[03:58] <Falc> Can someone please tell me amirror for Xubntu?
[03:58] <enyc> nanaki_yamabushi: you can 'switch user' and login as yourself again......
[03:58] <zsh> apokrphos: ok. i'll take your word for it.
[03:59] <Falc> Preferably one closer to the UK....
[03:59] <apokryphos> nanaki_yamabushi: something like Xorg :1 -ac is enough to start it up. Then you have to launch the DE
[03:59] <enyc> nanaki_yamabushi: im sure there are other ways
[03:59] <MistaED> nanaki_yamabushi, go into applications>accessories>alacarte menu editor and under system tools enable "new login" so the icon is in the application menu, then just click on it to run, this is just if you want to spawn another gdm and just ctrl+alt+F* between them that way
[03:59] <nanaki_yamabushi> that is what I did enyc
[03:59] <goonies> would there be any reason for my computer to be louder on linux than it is on xp
[03:59] <rsk> goonies: it yawns ;)
[03:59] <goonies> lol
[03:59] <ayeeee> i have a strang problem. When i "leftclick" (mouse1) on my touchpad in a terminal it scrolls up for some reason. ANyone have that problem and the solution?
[03:59] <Skaag> goonies: It's having more fun!
[03:59] <enyc> goonies: what part where how lauder?
[03:59] <goonies> sounds like roaring
[03:59] <MistaED> nanaki_yamabushi, that's probably the easiest way, point & click
[03:59] <xordae> goonies: maybe it regulates the fans differently?
[03:59] <goonies> xordae, that could be it
[04:00] <nanaki_yamabushi> Okay thanks folks
[04:00] <goonies> enyc, i really cant tell where the sound is coming from, having really investigated it like that yet
[04:00] <iGadget> ohwell... seems like I'm not asking the right questions here
[04:00] <iGadget> cya
[04:01] <enyc> goonies: it could just be powernow/cpufreqscale whatnot (not) happening for some reason
[04:01] <enyc> goonies: which means more heat... whichmeans thermo-controlled fan goes faster...
[04:01] <goonies> i see
[04:01] <goonies> guess that would be an option in the kernel
[04:01] <enyc> goonies: but I thought dapper runs cpufrqd whatnot always
[04:02] <goonies> enyc, to tell you the truth, i havent really investigated if it runs louder on ubuntu
[04:02] <enyc> goonies: well dapper has cpufreq stuff compiled in....
[04:02] <goonies> i noticed on gentoo
[04:02] <goonies> i have just installed ubuntu yesterday
[04:02] <enyc> goonies: but it also needs userspace program to set the speei
[04:02] <goonies> i see
[04:03] <zsh> apokryphos, cool thanks
[04:04] <enyc> goonies: try "ps -ef | grep cpu"
[04:04] <enyc> goo	
[04:04] <_roman_> hi all - i tried to install dapper-server on an epia system and all i get afeter installation is a rebbot after unpacking the kernel - the normal dapper kernel worked fine - is the server kenrel somewhat diffent?
[04:04] <enyc> goonies: unless you specifically installed that tool in gontoo it probably wanst there
[04:04] <_roman_> is the server kernel a 386 kernel?
[04:04] <goonies> enyc, it most likely wasnt
[04:04] <goonies> enyc, im not at home right now, perhaps you can help me out later with this if your around?
[04:05] <_roman_> am i able to set another kernel but the default kernel in the installer?
[04:05] <enyc> goonies: may well not be...
[04:05] <goonies> when i type that command what should i see
[04:05] <sasper> hey everyone. i just installed the latest ubuntu version and am having trouble with grub (ie i can't boot at all). i've got a main harddrive with 3 partitions (windows, linux, swap). grub is giving me an error 15 when i try to boot. i did have hoary installed previously, but wiped the partition during installation. i've googled all i can with no help.
[04:05] <enyc> goonies: that may show you what processes are running that mention 'cpu' in their name ;-)
[04:05] <blueswirl> zsh, any luck?
[04:06] <scipio_africanus> !grub
[04:06] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[04:06] <enyc> goonies: I was wondering if you saw a 'cpufreq'
[04:06] <nanomad> why so many services are down? what happened?
[04:06] <goonies> and the proggy that uses it is userspace?
[04:06] <zsh> blueswirl, not yet
[04:06] <ndlovu> okay, it seems that the kernel module cdc-acm is available for communicating with my mobile phone... any idea how to use it?
[04:06] <_rp> someone pissed on a server
[04:06] <blueswirl> zsh, okey dokey
[04:06] <rsk> shuttleworth stole em lol
[04:06] <nanomad> _rp, lol

[04:07] <nanomad> sasper, look at topic...
[04:07] <_roman_> is it possible to install another kernel but the default kernel in the server intaller?
[04:07] <ayeeee> i have a strang problem. When i "leftclick" (mouse1) on my touchpad in a terminal it scrolls up for some reason. ANyone have that problem and the solution?
[04:07] <enyc> seems that '82.211.80.0/20' has fallen off the BPG map
[04:07] <[Wiebel] > hmmz
[04:08] <[Wiebel] > how do i tell wpasupplicant to start per default on boot
[04:08] <[Wiebel] > there is no init script

[04:08] <ayeeee> lame that there is no mirrors

[04:08] <ubotu> I know nothing about topic - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[04:09] <_roman_> :) rambaldi
[04:09] <xordae> ayeeee: that sounds like a problem with your xorg.conf.. im no expert, maybe do a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg .. and change the mouse?
[04:09] <sasper> exit
[04:09] <leahciMic> what other websites are down is it just ubuntu or are other hosts effected as well ? and does anyone know the cause ....... ?
[04:09] <enyc> _roman_: www.ubuntu.com A 82.211.81.166 in the DNS.... and '82.211.80.0/20' has fallen off the BPG map at my ISP
[04:09] <mad_slackie> hi all
[04:10] <raffy> hello
[04:10] <ayeeee> my install is fuckedup, i better reinstall.
[04:10] <xordae> ayeeee: there should be an entry for wacom tablets and stuff like that in the xorg.conf too.. maybe google it up ><
[04:10] <ayeeee> where can i get the "xgl" thingy?
[04:10] <Rambaldi> it is in the repositories
[04:10] <enyc> it means that the BGP router that advertises '82.211.80.0/20' to the world has become disconnected or stopped working or under a crazy DoS attack that stops that router talking to its BGP peers
[04:10] <Rambaldi> ayeeee,
[04:10] <ayeeee> Rambaldi: yes? =)
[04:10] <mad_slackie> can someone try and if archive.ubuntu.com is down, please
[04:10] <Rambaldi> you need a lot of libaries as well
[04:10] <ayeeee> no apt package?
[04:10] <mad_slackie> i can't connect to it
[04:11] <Rambaldi> wait..
[04:11] <xordae> ayeeee: yeah, activate all repositories in synaptic and make a search for xgl
[04:11] <nanomad> try to change repository
[04:11] <_roman_> still - well it might not be the best time in history to ask - does anyone know whether the server kernel in dapper is a 386 kernel? Well it be stange if not but it would explan my reboot problem...
[04:11] <ayeeee> ill reinstall ubuntu later so i try then.
[04:11] <goatmale> mad slackie look at the topic
[04:11] <enyc> mad_slackie:  archive.ubuntu.com only has A records in  82.211.80.0/20 and hence down
[04:11] <sven-tek> The gentoo mirror system is much better than everything in debian and ubuntu. In my mind we'll have to learn and adapt that.
[04:11] <mad_slackie> i see
[04:11] <mad_slackie> thx
[04:12] <Rambaldi> ayeeee, install sxerver-xgl and compiz-gnome
[04:12] <nanomad> sven-tek, you can change the repository
[04:12] <ayeeee> How can i copy text? i dont have any mouse3...
[04:12] <Rambaldi> ayeeee, then you need to start in
[04:13] <sven-tek> nanomad, in gentoo i define a list of sync'ed repositorys and if one is down, it takes the next one.
[04:13] <Rambaldi> do you want me to send you a script?
[04:13] <enyc> ayeeee: press both mouse buttons simultaneously
[04:13] <ayeeee> ill try
[04:13] <orbin> _roman_:  the 386 kernel is default across the ubuntu lineup iirc
[04:13] <nanomad> sven-tek, you can do that in ubuntu too...just add several repos
[04:13] <Lord_Athur> hi, is there any problem with the ubuntu pages?
[04:13] <nanomad> sven-tek, and wait the one down to timeout
[04:13] <_roman_> orbin: well i thought so thanks
[04:13] <ardchoille> !easysource

[04:14] <orbin> tribalfuse: /topic
[04:14] <tribalfuse> awwww
[04:14] <nanomad> tribalfuse, look at topic
[04:14] <nanomad> sven-tek, strange ... it works here (using 2 ubuntu repos)
[04:15] <tribalfuse> yeah the repos are working, i guess... even i did an update today
[04:15] <zsh> blueswirl: I've just installed it. it owrks fine for me. what exactly was the problem with yours
[04:15] <ayeeee> i want to fix my mouse :(
[04:15] <nanomad> tribalfuse, repos down atm
[04:15] <profoX`> tribalfuse: archive.ubuntu.com is down, ubuntu.com is down
[04:15] <sven-tek> nanomad, could you paste you sources.lst somewhere so i can look what i've done wrong?
[04:15] <tribalfuse> is it... was fine abt 2 hrs ago :)
[04:15] <nanomad> sven-tek, sure...gimme a minute
[04:16] <tribalfuse> dont they have mirror servers?
[04:16] <zsh> exit
[04:16] <blueswirl> zsh: well, i've written my own text file for use in fortune. i've used strfile to make it all nice for fortune, but when i do the command fortune file, it says file is not a fortune file. so i man fortune, found the directory it gave me, but that doesn't exist on my system
[04:16] <Bison> hi guys
[04:17] <zsh> blueswirl: let me try
[04:17] <Bison> hello
[04:17] <blueswirl> zsh, cheers
[04:17] <sven-tek> anyway, i like the gentoo way of having mirror-servers on allmost any university - so i can choose the nearest one.
[04:17] <tribalfuse> Bison: hi are my mushees ready :)
[04:17] <Bison> um...
[04:17] <orbin> Bison: hadouken
[04:17] <Bison> haha
[04:17] <dD0T> Could it be that ubuntu.com is down?
[04:18] <orbin> dD0T: /topic
[04:18] <Bison> is it possible to copy the entire home dir plus hidden to another directory?
[04:18] <tribalfuse> Bison: in case you were wondering, its the dung of bisons and lightning that creates magic mushees :) thought you were somewhere in that process
[04:18] <sven-tek> dD0T, no you're only nightmare
[04:18] <nanomad> sven-tek, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18689
[04:18] <nanomad> sven-tek, it is quite simple...
[04:18] <Bison> tribalfuse: huh, thought that was strictly cows
[04:18] <dD0T> orbin: Sry, the topic was so long...only saw the last 5 lines ;)
[04:18] <jbroome> Bison: look at rsync
[04:19] <Bison> rsync??
[04:19] <orbin> dD0T: i didn't read it either lol
[04:19] <tribalfuse> Bison: sure you can, sudo cp -R (dir) (destination dir)
[04:19] <Bison> tribalfuse: that doesn't copy all the .* files
[04:19] <mister_roboto> from channel title, by "ubuntu services are down", is one of the us.archive.ubuntu.com, for example?
[04:19] <dD0T> orbin: Well, I read it (kind of...) but it was so long it didn't fit into the bar displaying it ;) Anyway! Any info WHY it is down?
[04:20] <tribalfuse> oops doesnt it?
[04:20] <raider-ukr> hi everyone. how can I login by root? what's default password for it?
[04:20] <_Spire_> mister_roboto: almost all of the mirrors are down, it seems
[04:20] <_Spire_> !root
[04:20] <gnomefreak> mister_roboto: looks like more than just that
[04:20] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[04:20] <goatmale> yes ribit
[04:20] <LiquidNerd_> I can't get ca.archive.ubuntu.com via apt-get... anybody know if it's down?
[04:20] <_Spire_> !root > raider-ukr
[04:21] <_Spire_> LiquidNerd_: most of them are down
[04:21] <dD0T> _Spire_: topic ;)
[04:21] <raider-ukr> passsword is "!root" ?
[04:21] <blueswirl> raider-ukr, there's no root in ubuntu, use sudo and your password
[04:21] <LiquidNerd_> ahhhh
[04:21] <alex-weej> Does anyone know precisely what the heck it is that keeps making my packages NOT AUTHENTICATED all the time? On every ubuntu machine I've ever used it just happens randomly.
[04:21] <_Spire_> raider-ukr: no. use sudo
[04:21] <LiquidNerd_> I'm retarded and didn't see it
[04:21] <anders__> I have some broblems with my intel 865g integrated graphic card. I can't get it work with openGL, but I can see on the GENTOO-wiki that someone has getting it working with XGL (using driver:X.Org/6.9.0,version = 1.4.1) and that means that it should support openGL, doesn't it? can somone help me?
[04:21] <Bison> Think i heard that us.archive.ubuntu.com was down yesterday...still the case?
[04:21] <_Spire_> Bison: /topic
[04:22] <Bison> i see
[04:22] <Bison> on all official repo servers??
[04:22] <anders__> (i'm using ubuntu 6.06)
[04:23] <zsh> blueswirl: does it work with the files that come with fortune
[04:23] <dD0T> Anyone got a clue why the servers are down? Doesn't seem like this downtime was announced...
[04:23] <ayeeee> anyone have problems with "LG TX" ethernet card under ubuntu? its a "Agere systems" card and i cant get it to work.
[04:23] <Falc> What is an alternate install CD and what is a desktop CD?
[04:23] <blueswirl> zsh, running the command fortune by itself produces a random adage, if that's what you mean
[04:23] <Stormx2> why are many ubuntu services down? :(
[04:23] <JoKoT4> Hello ppl, what's happen with security.ubuntu.com ?
[04:24] <Bison> Falc: alernative install is the old ncurses installer.  DesktopCD is the LiveCD + graphic installer
[04:24] <JoKoT4> oh no ! ubuntu is down :/
[04:24] <goatmale> this is insane... READ THE TOPIC EVERYONE
[04:24] <mister_roboto> lol   someone should put up a wiki page, or an ubotu help message for this problem, at least temporarily
[04:24] <Bison> wow, i had no idea what i was getting into
[04:24] <zsh> blueswirl: then i think u didnt create ur fortune file properly
[04:24] <cello_rasp> how do i access the pages firefox may have cache'd?
[04:24] <blueswirl> goatmale, you're telling me. i'm actually lolling here ;-)

[04:24] <JoKoT4> goatmale: 4 lines topic infos are stealth
[04:24] <blueswirl> zsh, so i have to do more than strfile the file and then point fortune at it?

[04:26] <Tommy2k4> isnt there some site which has a db of lots of monitors where i can find out the vert/horiz rates
[04:26] <Enverex> *recommend rather
[04:26] <blueswirl> zsh, ah well, thanks for your help

[04:27] <frogzoo> Tommy2k4: if you just select monitor that can do 1280x1024 should work fine
[04:27] <Bison> Stormx2: i didn't understand a word you just said

[04:28] <Andy-> sec
[04:28] <zealot> is it just me, or are archive.ubuntu.com and us.archive.ubuntu.com apt repositories timing out?
[04:28] <Bison> methinks copying .* between home dirs was a mistake
[04:28] <Hexidigital_> cello_rasp::  au mirrors work
[04:28] <frogzoo> gnomefreak: hmm... is this fall out I'm wondering from when debian was hacked, hmmm?
[04:28] <ompaul> cello_rasp, ie.archive.ubuntu.com will work for you
[04:29] <narfnastier> _roman_, server leaves out stuff like SMP IIRC
[04:29] <gnomefreak> adrian__: dont know yet

[04:35] <Andy-> ompaul, yeah
[04:35] <gnomefreak> ompaul: i read it
[04:35] <cello_rasp> certain shopping sites arent resolving, it may well be dns
[04:35] <Enverex> ffs, everyone shut up about the repos. They are down, they will be back up when they are back up.
[04:35] <frogzoo> Andy-: apt is moving towards torrent, so won't present a problem once that's in place
[04:35] <nate_02631> Bookmarks work fine though
[04:35] <Bison> chillout nate_02631 i'm trying to help
[04:35] <Stormx2> nate_02631: I don't understand what you mean by firefox shortcut links o.O
[04:35] <nate_02631> Bison - sorry just restating ?/ to make it clearer ;)
[04:35] <Enverex> frogzoo, erm, will that be optional? I can't say I have upstream bandwidth to spare
[04:35] <nate_02631> Stormx2, ones that I drap to the desktop - i.e. not in my bookmarks menu
[04:35] <bmsleight> is problems with bonobo-activation-server related to Ubuntu servers being down ?
[04:36] <nate_02631> "drag"
[04:36] <aston> Rpa are bombed by russian "Katiusza" rockets, and servers are down.
[04:36] <frogzoo> Enverex: of course, but for some of us, it'll be a huge improvement
[04:36] <Bison> okay, your shortcut links on desktop...right click and go to open with another app
[04:36] <Enverex> frogzoo, How so?
[04:36] <adrian__> aston: nikt Cie nie czyta.

[04:36] <frogzoo> Enverex: well, for one thing, the repos won't go down :)
[04:36] <aston> ;<
[04:36] <nate_02631> Bison - they don't have that option...
[04:36] <Enverex> Are there any other repos with packages not in the normal repos that people recommend? Third party ones I mean, useful packages, etc (that aren't on that ubuntulinux.nl page)?
[04:36] <nate_02631> .... and not i properties either (no open with tab)
[04:36] <krism> anyone had any luck installing the nVidia nForce drivers on 6.06? can't figure out how to get Ubuntu to use the proper module for my sound card
[04:36] <Ronz> does anyone know if the new version of wine needs to be patched for WoW?
[04:37] <frogzoo> !easysource > Enverex:
[04:37] <krism> Ronz: pretty much, yeah
[04:37] <Bison> look at the commands to open those links
[04:37] <Enverex> Ronz, > #winehq
[04:37] <cello_rasp> frogzoo: I'd like to see how much memory it would take to host the entire repos on your machine would be @_@
[04:37] <zealot> nate_02631: right click and go to properties. Then go to open with and click firefox. That will change the default to open in firefox.
[04:37] <frogzoo> !easysource > Enverex
[04:37] <Bison> or just make shortcuts that say 'firefox <url>'
[04:37] <nate_02631> zealot - thanks but that option isn't there....
[04:37] <cmug> Whats up with ubuntu.com?
[04:37] <Enverex> frogzoo, Did you read what I wrote? I said EXCLUDING that page
[04:37] <zealot> cello_rasp: probably less than 100GB
[04:37] <Enverex> heh
[04:37] <MenZa> cmug: servers are down.
[04:37] <rsk> cmug: topic
[04:37] <gnomefreak> cmug: read the /topic
[04:37] <jbroome> cmug: topic
[04:37] <zealot> nate_02631: when you right click on the file, what do you see?
[04:38] <cmug> yeah just noticed
[04:38] <frogzoo> Enverex: well clearly I didn't them o.O
[04:38] <nate_02631> zealot - just :open" and the other options - no openwith under properties either
[04:38] <bmsleight> is problems with bonobo-activation-server related to Ubuntu servers being down ?
[04:38] <zealot> nate_02631: what filetype is it?
[04:38] <stefg> no
[04:38] <ompaul> bmsleight, no
[04:38] <bmsleight> ta
[04:38] <_Spire_> bmsleight: nope
[04:38] <frogzoo> Enverex: I would say after the main repos & what's on easysource, it starts to get pretty iffy
[04:38] <nate_02631> zealot - desktop config file
[04:39] <krism> Ronz: there's a prepatched .deb for 6.06 up at http://evilpen.net/wine-0.9.17_wow_i386.deb
[04:39] <nate_02631> zealot - wierd thing is it goes and fetches the *full sdource* of whatever page is linkd to and opens i ngedi...
[04:39] <zealot> ok, open it in gedit and paste the text onto pastebin.com for me to look at
[04:39] <lingenfr> Anyone know how to define actions (back, forward) for "tap zones" with a synaptics touchpad?

[04:39] <Hexidigital_> fool2cool::  hi
[04:39] <fool2cool> can any1 help me with courier-webadmin
[04:40] <str4nd> Good Topic :/
[04:40] <me> at some random boots, lm_sensors complains that it cannot find i2c devices. also, some other random boots have powernowd claim that my cpu doesn't support it. finally, when i try to reboot, my system goes down fine, but hangs when attempting to return
[04:40] <me> any thoughts as the why?
[04:40] <krism> stefg: the problem is choosing a specific module (e.g. nvidia supplied) rather than OSS vs. ALSA.
[04:40] <str4nd> Repos ... DNS ... :-/
[04:40] <inazad_> Hi, I cannot see my WiFi card on the Network Setting..
[04:40] <frogzoo> me: lm_sensors is broke atm, so that's #1
[04:40] <fool2cool> ok any help configuring apache to run perl scripts?
[04:40] <nate_02631> zealot - pastebin is stalling - one sec, :)
[04:40] <krism> Ronz: that deb works for me - running WoW as we speak.. depends on "libartsc0"
[04:40] <Bison> argh, firfox won't start now
[04:41] <frogzoo> me: also, would be interesting if you get the hangs from a cold boot
[04:41] <enyc> me: I would try update system bios if havent already

[04:41] <ubotu> lamp is a shortcut for Linux-Apache-Mysql-{PHP,Perl,Python}. To setup a LAMP server on Ubuntu, install the packages libapache2-mod-php5, php5-mysql, and mysql-server-5.0. You can also choose 'install a LAMP server' from the server install cd boot menu. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[04:41] <Hexidigital_> !lamp > fool2cool
[04:41] <stefg> krism: so what hardware do you have exactly? nvidia-chipsets usually use the i8x0 audio driver
[04:41] <Hexidigital_> fool2cool::  read your private message from ubotu
[04:41] <krism> stefg: the snd_hda_intel
[04:41] <me> frogzoo, lm_sensors works in almost all boots, but not all of them. what should vary between boots. the system never hangs at cold boot (over 100 repetitions),
[04:41] <lingenfr> giving up
[04:41] <fool2cool> yes tht doesnt help the perl aspect
[04:41] <Bison> shouldn't it be better to have that in a wiki?

[04:42] <zealot> nate_02631: take those links from firefox and try to drag them to the desktop again
[04:42] <enyc> me: I would try update system bios if havent already as that sounds like could be related to bios power mgmt calls etc.

[04:43] <stefg> krism: so what? you obviously know your hardware.
[04:43] <cmug> maybe they are releasing Edgy Eft images? :D
[04:43] <nate_02631> @ zealot the links are on the desktop already...
[04:43] <bonsai> tks
[04:43] <zealot> nate_02631: Try again and see if that does anything?
[04:43] <krism> stefg: the problem is that i want to load "nvsound" instead of "snd_hda_intel"
[04:43] <frogzoo> nate_02631: maybe the repos were upgraded to edgy?...
[04:43] <nate_02631> zealot - I don't know what you mean...
[04:43] <cmug> oh, edgy already has images..
[04:44] <stefg> krism: why? and what keeps you from doing it?

[04:44] <Cornellius> Someone spilled coffee on the keyboard
[04:44] <thirdalbum> Sorry, I didn't notice the title :-)
[04:44] <EvanCarroll> Ah, I was about to ask the same thing.
[04:44] <nate_02631> zealot - links are on desktop already - Firefox links on desktop not in bookmarks - opening in gedit instead of Firefox...
[04:44] <stefg> krism: is the sound working or not?
[04:45] <frogzoo> krism: blacklist snd_hda_intel
[04:45] <ardchoille> Cornellius: That's a bad way to wake the keyboard up
[04:45] <Hexidigital_> Cornellius::  wash it out and hang it upside down in your shower
[04:45] <krism> frogzoo: cool, i'll give that a try

[04:49] <Bison> Hey guys
[04:49] <nate_02631> On my firefox desktop URL shortcuts - those work when dragging into Opera - but not into Firefix - never into Firefox, although double clicking them once opened in Firefox - now they fetch the page source and open in gedit - weird ... I didn't change anything AFIAK...
[04:49] <profoX`> frogzoo: k, thanks.. you sure? :)
[04:49] <Stormx2> hi Bison
[04:49] <frogzoo> profoX`: g'teed
[04:49] <Hexidigital_> Bison::  hi
[04:49] <Bison> nate_02631: remove .mozilla
[04:49] <Bison> try that
[04:49] <satempler> !java
[04:49] <krism> stefg: i'm a little confused about dmix. the hardware mixer is working fine.
[04:49] <ubotu> java is an object oriented programming language. To install a java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java For the runtime Sun Java install sun-java5-jre from the Multiverse repository
[04:49] <stefg> nate_02631: right click, propeties, second tab 'open with..'
[04:50] <tuxtux> please for plugin audio to kaffeine-dvb?
[04:50] <kbrooks> nate_02631: DO NOT remove .mozilla. You will lose your settingss.
[04:50] <Hexidigital_> NOTE:: REPOSITORIES and WEB are currently DOWN
[04:50] <nate_02631> stefg - no such option for these file types.... Bison - yeah I will begrudgingly try that...
[04:50] <profoX`> frogzoo: i think xorg should be patched to fall back to vesa when the normal driver chickens out.. to be more user friendly ;P
[04:50] <Bison> you can always redo your settings
[04:50] <Stormx2> Hexidigital_: why?
[04:50] <nate_02631> kbrooks - yeah, but I can save my bookmarks which is all that's treally important...
[04:50] <Stormx2> Hexidigital_: DNS change or something?
[04:50] <rabster> I am protestingrab...sorry about before i did not realize that pasting my error message would do that
[04:50] <kbrooks> Hexidigital_: NOTE:: WHO CARES?
[04:50] <nate_02631> Will restart gdm and be back :)
[04:50] <frogzoo> profoX`: the whole architecture of x is somewhat in need of an overhaul...

[04:51] <Bison> What does that mean
[04:51] <kindor> how can i set the default keyboard layout in gnome to US for all users, e.g. with gconf. this is in a NX environment
[04:51] <stefg> krism: you could test the nvidia driver manually by 'sudo rmmod intel-blabla-driver' and 'sudo modprobe' the other one. But restart alsa after changing drivers
[04:52] <Stormx2> rabster: What are you running which gives this error message
[04:52] <rabster> that wasn't directed at the user "skipping" the error starts with skipping

[04:55] <profoX`> Enverex: yes i know.. pretty strange.. ubuntu cached pages are down, ubuntuforums.org is down and ubuntu.com is down
[04:55] <frogzoo> recon0: repos are down, so what can you do?
[04:56] <recon0> manually install all packages.
[04:56] <jbroome> get away from the computer for a while?
[04:56] <nate_02631> jbroome - smite the nonbeleiver!!
[04:56] <Enverex> profoX`, Well it doesn't seem to be "down" as it kinda loads, at least partially, but most other things are down so it sticks
[04:56] <frogzoo> k, thx  ompaul
[04:56] <gnomefreak> ompaul: au same way
[04:56] <rabster> Stormx2: I just tried it again and I am able to extract a different unencrypted zip file
[04:56] <frogzoo> recon0: there ya go -> ie.archive.ubuntu.com
[04:57] <Bison> sudo adduser; only one or two names allowed at one time
[04:57] <recon0> OK.
[04:57] <Bison> what is that all about?
[04:57] <recon0> !souce
[04:57] <ubotu> I know nothing about souce - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[04:57] <ompaul> frogzoo, they have to kill off security as it does not work atm
[04:57] <gnomefreak> recon0: # out the security repos
[04:57] <recon0> !source
[04:57] <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
[04:57] <Hexidigital_> what about archive.ubuntu.com? dosen't that redirect to a working mirror
[04:57] <Hexidigital_> ?
[04:57] <gnomefreak> Hexidigital_: no
[04:57] <dngldoof> orbin: I've been trying to install some audio processing tools (Jackbeat, spiral modular etc), but every program I've tried lacks some packages, and when I try to install the packages I find that there are yet more packages missing.
[04:57] <Hexidigital_> gnomefreak::  ah
[04:57] <recon0> anyone know where the source file is again?
[04:57] <ompaul> Hexidigital_, when dns is down how could it? ;-)
[04:57] <frogzoo> ompaul: i'm wondering if this is related to the debian hack? just timing seems a bit coincidental
[04:57] <profoX`> Enverex: well thx anyway, i need the hw db because i am trying to develop a daemon to simplify hardware changes/setup in the future :)
[04:57] <Hexidigital_> recon0::  /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:57] <Stormx2> Please remember the websites are down because of a DNS error: what works for some people will NOT work for others!
[04:57] <gnomefreak> frogzoo: nope
[04:58] <Hexidigital_> ompaul::  i didn't think of that :(
[04:58] <fool2cool> im trying to configure courier because i just registered a domain name
[04:58] <frogzoo> gnomefreak: you got the ear of someone on this inside?
[04:58] <fraroco> Hello everybody can you help me to install java?
[04:58] <fool2cool> any help wud b appreciated
[04:58] <ompaul> frogzoo, no idea
[04:58] <gnomefreak> frogzoo: its a DNS error
[04:58] <dngldoof> orbin: and I think I should first update my GTK+ to the latest version, but even it doesn't work
[04:58] <fraroco> !Java > fraroco
[04:58] <Stormx2> fool2cool: courier?
[04:58] <orbin> dngldoof: step 1: check if the app is already in the repos.  jackbeat and spiralsynthmodular pacakges are in there.
[04:58] <fool2cool> yes
[04:58] <fool2cool> its a mail server
[04:58] <jbroome> i like the new bot redirect.  very nice
[04:58] <Bison> fraroco: you'll have to wait until the repos are up
[04:58] <gnomefreak> frogzoo: debian repos have nohting to do with ubuntu
[04:58] <stefg> fraroco: ubotu already sent you a pm
[04:58] <dngldoof> orbin: k
[04:59] <frogzoo> gnomefreak: cool, what the ttl on the records o.O
[04:59] <Bison> fraroco: you cannot install anything until they are
[04:59] <Stormx2> fool2cool: Ah ok. How did you install it?
[04:59] <orbin> dngldoof: only reason i build an app is if i can't find it in the repos
[04:59] <fool2cool> apt-get install
[04:59] <nate_02631> Anyone have any thought on my Firefox desktop URL shortcuts - source code of target pages opening in gedit instead of opening page in Firefox...
[04:59] <Stormx2> fool2cool: OK... so whats the problem?
[04:59] <fraroco> Bison: when?
[04:59] <fool2cool> i dnt have a clue how to use it or configure it
[04:59] <fool2cool> lol
[04:59] <fool2cool> my friend suggested using it
[04:59] <Stormx2> fool2cool; try man courier
[04:59] <Stormx2> fool2cool: Also check their website for documentation
[04:59] <Ronz> fool2cool: you can use synaptic package namager
[04:59] <orbin> dngldoof: you'd have to pastebin the errors you're getting for configure for me to take a stab at what you need, but like i said,   jsut get it from the repos.  it's so much easier
[05:00] <Stormx2> Ronz: What good would that do?
[05:00] <dngldoof> orbin: ok, I'll try. Thanks
[05:00] <zsuzsi> hi guys
[05:00] <zsuzsi> i have a problem
[05:00] <Bison> fraroco: i don't know...when they fix it
[05:00] <frogzoo> gnomefreak: except a common code base
[05:00] <Stormx2> zsuzsi: let us know ;-)
[05:00] <stefg> !enter > zsuzsi
[05:00] <zsuzsi> it's actually not only my problem, it's described here: i have the same problem as described at http://www.ubuntux.org/dapper-gnome-error
[05:00] <Ronz> Stormx2: didn't see the whole thing...never mind. ;)
[05:00] <orbin> dngldoof: yw.
[05:01] <Stormx2> stefg: Oh he only did it once, don't be such a pessimist ;-)
[05:01] <fraroco> bison ok I wanna instal amsn and azureus.. but they need it."
[05:01] <zsuzsi> i can temporarily fix it as it says under "solution" - but i dont know how to fix it permanently!!!
[05:01] <fraroco> Bison:  ok I wanna instal amsn and azureus.. but they need it."
[05:01] <Stormx2> zsuzsi: Fix what?
[05:01] <Stormx2> fraroco: Need what?
[05:01] <fraroco> Stormx2: Java..
[05:01] <zsuzsi> what does "Flushed the settings cache" mean?
[05:01] <fool2cool> there is no manual for courier there
[05:01] <stefg> Stormx2: wasn't meant as an insult, just a friendly hint... educate them while the bad habbit isn't curved in :-)
[05:01] <nate_02631> Ah well - guess I'll go without desktop URL shortcuts - boy really pisses me off when things "just break"....
[05:01] <`DaGuy> working mirrors "fr", "au", "ie", "nl"  - Okay to use?
[05:01] <Stormx2> fraroco: Ah. Yeah, like Bison said, repos are down...
[05:02] <dngldoof> orbin: but yeah, the servers are down.. so I quess I'll try to install 'em later
[05:02] <Ronz> is there an easy to convert FAT32 filesystem to ext2 without erasing the hard drive?
[05:02] <bigjb> any news on when they will be back
[05:02] <Stormx2> `DaGuy: They may work for some people but not for others!!
[05:02] <orbin> dngldoof: sure
[05:02] <`DaGuy> thx
[05:02] <bigjb> ah dns problem?
[05:02] <gnomefreak> bigjb: noone knows when they will be fixed
[05:02] <DarkAudit> mailing lists offline too?
[05:02] <papo> zsuzsi: did you try the solution posted as comment?
[05:02] <stefg> Ronz: don't do it, back everything up and rewrite
[05:02] <fool2cool> stormx2:i installed the courier docs but have no idea where they went
[05:02] <gnomefreak> DarkAudit: i d9oubt it
[05:02] <fraroco> Stormx2: I wanna know if this can be late."
[05:02] <zsuzsi> Stormx2, the problem is that gnome wouldn't load under kubuntu.
[05:03] <Ronz> ok, thanks stef. =)
[05:03] <Hexidigital_> DarkAudit::  afaik, mailing lists are offline also
[05:03] <wil`yum> my 'shared folders' applet stopped working. Is this a common failure? where to look?
[05:03] <javajazz> repos down. websites down. forums down.  is this war?
[05:03] <Stormx2> fool2cool: open synaptic package manager, locate courier. Properties. Look under "installed files", it should be in a path like .../doc....
[05:03] <Hexidigital_> DarkAudit::  but i'm just guessing
[05:03] <fool2cool> im doing all this over ssh
[05:03] <Stormx2> zsuzsi: When the repos are back, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ?
[05:03] <Enverex> javajazz, No, it's called DNS breaking
[05:03] <fool2cool> so i have no gui
[05:03] <esc_ape> does anyone know how to open the configuration editor? whats the command called?
[05:04] <stefg> hconf-editor
[05:04] <sloncho> hi. how do i start text mode install. i do not want the graphical installer
[05:04] <ardchoille> esc_ape: gconf-editor
[05:04] <thirdalbum> esc_ape: gconf-editor
[05:04] <stefg> *gconf-editor
[05:04] <zsuzsi> papo, yes - i did try that, but that only fixes it temporarily: when i restart the computer or even the X server, it doesn't work again
[05:04] <fool2cool> Stormx2: is there any1 to do this as a command
[05:04] <Hexidigital_> zsuzsi::  do what Stormx2 said, but that my damage your KDE install
[05:04] <Stormx2> sloncho: Download the text-mode installer iso
[05:04] <cmug> fix...the...servers...cant...install...new...software.....argh
[05:04] <Ronz> one more thing...if i get the filesystem to ext2 or another linux based file system...will windows be able to read it?
[05:04] <cmug> i need my fix
[05:04] <javajazz> just hope my torrent continues.  i had it almost dwnloaded, edgyeft.
[05:04] <roe> is there a mirror for the wiki?
[05:04] <Stormx2> fool2cool: maybe, locate courier
[05:04] <sloncho> Stormx2: no other way, with boot option?
[05:04] <fool2cool> tried
[05:04] <^ohoel> Ronz: there should be programs for windows to do that
[05:04] <kbrooks> Ronz: with a driver, yes
[05:05] <Stormx2> fool2cool; Why not use synaptic?
[05:05] <Ronz> <3 thank ya!
[05:05] <kbrooks> ^ohoel: there are!
[05:05] <frogzoo> Ronz: there's a windows driver for ext2
[05:05] <zsuzsi> Stormx and Hexidigital_, i have actually done precisely that. the gnome splash screen comes up but afterwards the semi-loaded panels start flashing and it all freezes.
[05:05] <frogzoo> !ext2fs
[05:05] <ubotu> I know nothing about ext2fs - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[05:05] <stefg> Ronz: not out of the box, but there's third party drivers available http://fs-driver.org/
[05:05] <fool2cool> bcos im controlling the server over ssh
[05:05] <DarkAudit> there are windows apps for ext2 and ext3... haven't used them in over a year, so I'd have to Google to find them again
[05:05] <Stormx2> explore2fs is the good one.
[05:06] <kbrooks> DarkAudit: Drivers, not apps
[05:06] <wil`yum> my 'shared folders' applet stopped working. Is this a common failure? where to look?
[05:06] <Fjodor> Has anyone tried building wine?
[05:06] <zazeem> how can i change my firefox and thunderbird icons with ones i downloaded?
[05:06] <Stormx2> Fjodor: Yes
[05:06] <Hexidigital_> zsuzsi::  sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop will delete the kde install, but keep the programs... remove --purge kubuntu-desktop will delete the config... aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop will delete the install completely
[05:06] <roe> what is the ubuntu room devoted to xgl
[05:06] <wil`yum> i have wine working on 5.10
[05:06] <recon0> Fjodor: Why build? Why not just use the package?
[05:06] <gnomefreak> roe: #ubuntu-xgl
[05:06] <frogzoo> roe: #ubuntu-xg
[05:06] <Fjodor> Stormx2: I get "configure: WARNING: FreeType is missing."
[05:06] <Hexidigital_> roe::  ubuntu-xgl
[05:06] <frogzoo> roe: #ubuntu-xgl
[05:06] <zazeem> how can i change my firefox and thunderbird icons with ones i downloaded?
[05:06] <roe> thanx
[05:07] <Fjodor> recon0: No packages for amd64
[05:07] <Stormx2> Hexidigital_: No it won't... kubuntu-desktop is a meta package, it just depends on all the kde componants...
[05:07] <recon0> Fjodor: point taken.
[05:07] <Stormx2> Hexidigital_: Removing it does nothing, as far as I know
[05:07] <frogzoo> Fjodor: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BuildingWineFromSource
[05:07] <Hexidigital_> Stormx2::  even through aptitude?
[05:07] <adaran> if i want to add an entry to the menu (creating custom .deb packages), how'd i do that? simply put a file into /usr/lib/menu ?
[05:07] <zsuzsi> Hexidigital_, i would like to have both GNOME and KDE on my computer, and decide at the login screen which session i want...
[05:07] <Stormx2> adaran: GNOME menu?
[05:07] <Fjodor> recon0: otherwise good point. And thanks :-)
[05:07] <n1gke> ip
[05:07] <Fjodor> frogzoo: Thanks
[05:08] <Stormx2> adaran: Oh, you're building a deb. Dunno.
[05:08] <zazeem> how can i change my firefox and thunderbird icons with ones i downloaded?
[05:08] <adaran> well, debian has update-menus
[05:08] <stefg> !info libfreetype6-dev > Fjodor
[05:08] <ubotu> libfreetype6-dev: FreeType 2 font engine, development files. In repository main, is optional. Version 2.1.10-1ubuntu2.1 (dapper), package size 661 kB, installed size 3336 kB
[05:08] <nate_02631> So when I get openwith to work with fire fox - by draggging in the desktop shortcut icon - it opens about 50 empty page - WTF?
[05:08] <Hexidigital_> zsuzsi::  if you aptitude --reinstall kubuntu-desktop, set kdm as default (i was able to select what desktop environment to use)
[05:08] <adaran> i'm sure ubuntu has something similiar
[05:08] <frogzoo> Fjodor: wine doesn't run on 64bit
[05:08] <Fjodor> stefg: Thanks. I have installed that, though
[05:08] <goatmale> zaxeem right click ;)
[05:08] <zazeem> right click and??
[05:08] <jumbers> Is archive.ubuntu.com down?
[05:08] <Enverex> frogzoo, Well, it does if you build it with 32bit libaries or such
[05:08] <Fjodor> frogzoo: Oh. To install in my chroot then
[05:08] <Stormx2> jumbers: /topic
[05:08] <jbroome> jumbers: TOPIC
[05:08] <Enverex> jumbers, Read the topic
[05:08] <Enverex> lol
[05:08] <javajazz> well since i can't work on edgy, i'll work on freespire.  can anybody tell me how to make a floppy boot disk for freespire?  i have it installed but beos bootloader can't do it.  i've googled everywhere.  maybe smartbootloader.
[05:08] <frogzoo> EvanCarroll: yep, you can 32bit chroot
[05:09] <zazeem> goatmale: then what
[05:09] <frogzoo> what's with tab today?
[05:09] <wheels3572> !edgy > wheels3572
[05:09] <wil`yum> i have wine working on 5.10
[05:09] <Enverex> frogzoo, Any idea what happened to Ubuntu? DNS issues, big upgrade or "someone hit the wrong button"? lol
[05:09] <wil`yum> my 'shared folders' applet stopped working. Is this a common failure? where to look?
[05:09] <zsuzsi> Hexidigital_, my kdm works perfectly, and I can select which environment to use - the only problem is that gnome doesn't finish loading. http://www.ubuntux.org/dapper-gnome-error explains the problem and it gives a solution, but that is only temporary. it seems the permanent solution is in the last post there, which says "flushed the settings cache", but i don't understand what that means! :(
[05:09] <frogzoo> Enverex: dns so we're told
[05:09] <Hexidigital_> Seveas::  we can't access the www.ubuntu.com/support page
[05:10] <jbroome> i'll be back when i can stop saying /topic every couple of minutes
[05:10] <wheels3572> !schedule > wheels3572
[05:10] <thnee> what repositories should i have, been a while since i used ubunutu, i dont recognize the security-updates or backports?
[05:10] <orbin> wil`yum: where's that applet located?
[05:10] <Hexidigital_> zsuzsi::  sorry, but i cannot view the page atm :(
[05:10] <Hexidigital_> zsuzsi::  the server is down
[05:10] <rsk> TOPIC
[05:10] <wil`yum> system administration
[05:10] <zsuzsi> oh, dont worry then :)
[05:10] <element> when I'm creating a second partition for my RAID1, do I create the second drive as primary or extended?
[05:10] <stefg> thnee: see !easysource, but be aware of /topic :-)
[05:11] <ardchoille> Seveas: Got time for a quick pm?
[05:11] <jackson> I just reinstalled (uninstalled using nvidia-installer --uninstall) my glx drivers 1.0-8756 but a glxinfo yields several lines of "Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0" and also "Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual" any ideas why?
[05:11] <Seveas> ardchoille, no
[05:11] <ardchoille> ok
[05:11] <zazeem> how do i change my firefox icons to the ones i dloaded?? anyone :(
[05:11] <thnee> stefg: be aware?
[05:11] <zsuzsi> on that webpage a person called meta4r explains: I am relieved that in addition to Ubuntu, I installed Kubuntu. My KDE desktop is more than useful, it is essential as last week's updates damaged my Gnome. Now when I log into Gnome the splash screen appears, does its thing, then the panels try to load. The panels appear, flash eleven times, and then disappear. it leaves me with an empty brown desktop with nothing
[05:11] <zsuzsi> on it but a mouse cursor. The only control available is ctrl-alt-backspace.  If those keys are pressed while the panels are still flashing, the system returns me to the GDM login screen. If I wait until the panels stop flashing, ctrl-alt-backspace puts me at a login prompt in a shell. I have to then reboot to get back into GDM. Is this part of the reason the release date was moved back?
[05:11] <orbin> wil`yum: what happens?
[05:12] <OoberMick> zsuzsi: did you try, Go to user folder, show hidden files, rename .gonf .gconfd gnome gnome2 and gnome2_private, just add a .bak on to them. Log into gnome. Wala!
[05:12] <OoberMick> Okay, it works. Now back to K I go.
[05:12] <orbin> wil`yum: try running it thru terminal: gksu shares-admin
[05:12] <zsuzsi> i didn't get it with the update, i got it as i apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[05:12] <wil`yum> the panel comes up with everything grayed out and does nothing
[05:12] <stefg> thnee: you can tune your sources.list, but you might not be able to get packages, because repos are down atm
[05:12] <zsuzsi> yes, oobermick - but that only fixes it for the next login
[05:12] <kitsuneofdoom> US servers are still down?
[05:12] <Hexidigital_> zsuzsi::  something internal is wrong, imo, then
[05:12] <zsuzsi> i.e. it does not fix it permanently.
[05:12] <mikechml> the dapper install hangs on "configuring apt", what do i do?
[05:13] <Hexidigital_> mikechml::  read the topic, that explains all
[05:13] <Enverex> frogzoo, Do you know anything about Edgy?
[05:13] <nanomad> mikechml, try again later...
[05:13] <mikechml> ah
[05:13] <frogzoo> Enverex: not really
[05:13] <jkelly2005> is anyone having trouble updating ubuntu? archive.ubuntu.com seems to be down.
[05:13] <stefg> edgy in #ubuntu+1
[05:13] <kitsuneofdoom> jkelly2005: it is
[05:13] <adaran> jkelly2005, TOPIC
[05:13] <adaran> =)
[05:13] <gnomefreak> jkelly2005: read the /topic
[05:13] <jkelly2005> oh, i see
[05:13] <Enverex> hmm, does anyone here know anything about Edgy?
[05:13] <Hexidigital_> mikechml::  keep it where it is, and wait util the servers are back up if you can
[05:13] <Enverex> stefg, Oh, that's actually a channel?
[05:13] <gnomefreak> Enverex: join #ubuntu+1
[05:13] <frogzoo> Enverex: you could try #ubuntu+1
[05:13] <Enverex> Thanks
[05:13] <zer01> ah, not just me then
[05:14] <javajazz> i am running edgy now.
[05:14] <Seveas> sigh
[05:14] <sloncho> how do i start text mode install. i do not want the graphical installer
[05:14] <nanomad> Enverex, what do you want to know ?(#ubuntu+1 is more adequate)
[05:14] <fraroco> hello the rep has come?
[05:14] <Seveas> even the entrymsg says that things are down
[05:14] <Seveas> AND STILL PEOPLE ASK
[05:14] <nanomad> sloncho, d/l alternate cd
[05:14] <gnomefreak> lol
[05:14] <Hexidigital_> heh
[05:14] <mikechml> what would come after apt in the install?
[05:14] <jackson> I just reinstalled (uninstalled using nvidia-installer --uninstall) my glx drivers 1.0-8756 but a glxinfo yields several lines of "Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0" and also "Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual" any ideas why?
[05:14] <stefg> sloncho: by using the 'alternate' install CD
[05:14] <nanomad> Seveas, almost no one reads it
[05:14] <wheels3572> Can someone help me with an issue I am getting the Xubuntu login screen but getting the regular ubuntu when it loads up.  How can I make it one or the other.  I prefer to use Ubuntu itself though for right now
[05:15] <Enverex> nanomad, I keep hearing about Edgy being "truely 32bit and 64bit at the same time" i.e. able to run the things that don't run on current 64bit Ubuntu, is that true? If so, how?
[05:15] <profoX`> Seveas: sorry to bother.. but whats wrong ?
[05:15] <Fjodor> Seveas: I must confess I didn't see it either. I autojoin the channel, and go to the tab when needed...
[05:15] <profoX`> Enverex: i think multilib
[05:15] <nanomad> Enverex, dunno..lol (32bit user here)
[05:15] <papo> can anyone explain me the file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades ?
[05:15] <sloncho> 10x guys, not exactly what i needed, but ...
[05:15] <sloncho> i guess there is a bott param option, which overrides the GUI
[05:16] <narfnastier> bott param?
[05:16] <sloncho> is it just me, or wiki pages are down?
[05:16] <Hexidigital_> sloncho::  read the topic
[05:16] <mikechml> lots of things are down
[05:16] <sloncho> bott=boot
[05:16] <rsk> sloncho: topic
[05:16] <goatmale> How can I always view hidden files or... make a file never hidden?

[05:16] <visik7> sloncho: almost all ubuntu sites are down
[05:16] <MarsRouter> any one can help me to make bridge connection?
[05:17] <jleedev> goatmale: list the file you want in .hidden in that folder. there's no way to "unhide" a dotfile
[05:17] <goatmale> something I unzipped
[05:17] <zsuzsi> hmm, i think i might try #gnome. thanks anyway for the help :)
[05:17] <kozlojak> how to i change the number of colors in ubunto(gnome) ?
[05:18] <profoX`> kozlojak: you mean X ?
[05:18] <ardchoille> goatmale: To view hidden files in nautilus, go to Edit -> Preferences -> View tab and look under the Default view section. To make a hidden file no longer hidden, remove the "." from the beginning of the filename.
[05:18] <frogzoo> kozlojak: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:19] <STrRedWolf> Ahhh, good.
[05:19] <frogzoo> MarsRouter: install pkg bridge-utils
[05:19] <kitsuneofdoom> how would one change the boot splashscreen
[05:19] <goatmale> ard will it always show hidden files now?
[05:19] <gnomefreak> !usplash > kitsuneofdoom
[05:19] <frogzoo> kitsuneofdoom: the grub splash or gnome splash?
[05:20] <omac> I tried going to the us.archive, ca.archive, en.archive, za.archive...they all work but the dapper-security repositories don't work from any of the including security.ubuntu.com
[05:20] <kozlojak> profoX` yes X
[05:20] <SonicChao> I need to remove the Microsoft fonts, I needed them for a little while, but now I don't need them. I treid "gksudo nautilus" and went to "fonts://" and removed them, but they are back again. I also did "sudo apt-get remove msttcorefonts", but the fonts are still there. And it gave me a warning message.
[05:20] <gnomefreak> omac: read the /topic
[05:20] <kitsuneofdoom> after grub...although a grub splash would be cool
[05:20] <gnomefreak> kitsuneofdoom: read your pm
[05:20] <kitsuneofdoom> k
[05:20] <profoX`> kozlojak: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" to reconfigure X, or to only change the colors, just edit the file "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" at the DefaultDepth and Depth settings
[05:21] <frogzoo> kitsuneofdoom: read the usplash from ubotu, for grub, you need to convert the file to 16 color xpm.gz - google for grub splash, using imagemagick works best
[05:21] <irvin> Seveas, can you make ubotu send a pm that services are down to anyone who joins?
[05:21] <Seveas> irvin, chanserv already does that
[05:21] <Seveas> no one reads
[05:21] <irvin> ohhh
[05:21] <Keldon> i do
[05:21] <irvin> :)
[05:22] <Seveas> irvin, so I resorted to kicking
[05:22] <Keldon> good idea :D
[05:22] <ompaul> Seveas, I put in the other one to stop people talking I had considered muting
[05:22] <NeoNmaN> sombardy use mac iBook G4
[05:22] <Keldon> that's so mean :(
[05:22] <kozlojak> profoX` should the color depth be higher then 24 ?
[05:22] <Seveas> !somebody > NeoNmaN
[05:22] <omac> I read the topic but I wanted the community to know my experience.  I didn't merit the kick IMHO.
[05:22] <profoX`> kozlojak: no 24 = 24bit, thats the highest
[05:23] <wayward> so what has caused all the fuss?
[05:23] <wayward> same fate as Debian's devel server? :D
[05:23] <gnomefreak> omac: everyone knows it is being worked on no need to let us know what we tell you
[05:23] <kozlojak> profoX`ok, thanks
[05:23] <Seveas> wayward, no
[05:23] <Awesome-o2000> omac, bit of advice, licky thy wounds and move on
[05:23] <profoX`> kozlojak: 16bit or 8bit i guess, but i have only used 24 and 16
[05:24] <NeoNmaN> Does anyone know about iBook G4 Spaces?
[05:24] <mikechml> yay, the install continued
[05:24] <frogzoo> NeoNmaN: pm google
[05:24] <profoX`> kozlojak: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_depth
[05:24] <LeeJunFan> must be the tubes are full again, it'll be another 5 days before I get that internet someone sent me because someone must have been downloading a video from youtube. :p
[05:24] <NeoNmaN> frogzoo, so funny, i hav try it bot i can't fint it
[05:25] <SonicChao> Why is Firefox still loading Microsoft fonts after I deleted the package "msttcorefonts" with "sudo apt-get remove msttcorefonts"????????
[05:25] <Vissud> damn, Ted Stevens was right!
[05:25] <Awesome-o2000> LeeJunFan, used up your quota?
[05:25] <wayward> was FF running while you removed the fonts, SonicChao
[05:25] <Awesome-o2000> SonicChao, part of the website perhaps? didnt shut down firefox?
[05:25] <SonicChao> wayward: Yes, but I restarted it a couple times
[05:26] <wayward> ah ha
[05:26] <patter> might need to refresh the fontpath - xset fp rehash
[05:26] <wayward> I bet FF uses X fonts
[05:26] <wayward> try xset fp rehash
[05:26] <SonicChao> In terminal? ok.
[05:26] <Awesome-o2000> is there a poker game for ubuntu?
[05:26] <wil`yum> kpoker
[05:27] <javajazz> i have xubuntu on edgy here. adesklets works.  But on a friends laptop xubuntu dapper is installed and adesklets only will work with sudo?
[05:27] <wil`yum> you can get it when the servers come back up
[05:27] <SonicChao> No. It's still loading MSfonts.
[05:27] <shriphani> why does gwget run slow ?
[05:27] <halitech> ok, guess no need to ask why I can't get into the forum
[05:27] <wayward> does it complain about them, SonicChao?
[05:27] <jackson> I just reinstalled (uninstalled using nvidia-installer --uninstall) my glx drivers 1.0-8756 but a glxinfo yields several lines of "Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0" and also "Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual" any ideas why?
[05:27] <gnomefreak> halitech: no
[05:27] <shriphani> in xfce that is
[05:27] <XiXaQ> halitech, problems with the server centre...
[05:27] <wayward> jackson, AMD64?
[05:27] <jackson> wayward: yeah but I'm using a 32bit kernel
[05:27] <halitech> I know, read that in the topic header
[05:28] <usam1> hi all
[05:28] <SonicChao> wayward: No. I did the command and the terminal returned it to me with no message
[05:28] <Vissud> their data center isn't in Queenes is it? :)
[05:28] <Seveas> *FINALLY SOMEONE READ IT*
[05:28] <usam1> how can i creat a live bookmark for lxer (webste)?
[05:28] <gnomefreak> ;)
[05:28] <SonicChao> wayward: Then I opened Firefox and the MSFonts are still ther. With no compaints
[05:28] <wil`yum> vissud... maybe beruit
[05:28] <Falc> I've installed Ubuntu and I want to switch to Xubunu without downloading a new CD image?
[05:28] <Falc> Is thi spossible?
[05:28] <wayward> jackson, I hope you don't have an ATI card
[05:28] <jackson> Falc: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[05:28] <Seveas> Falc, install the xubuntu-desktop package
[05:28] <Seveas> !search desktop
[05:28] <ubotu> Found: lts, ubuntu-desktop, desktops, vnc, kubuntu, documentation, icons, kde, dvd, gdesklets (and 11 more)
[05:28] <jackson> wayward: no haha
[05:28] <Seveas> !desktops
[05:28] <ubotu> The available desktop environments in Ubuntu are Gnome (ubuntu-desktop), KDE (kubuntu-desktop), XCFE (xubuntu-desktop), IceWM, Fluxbox, WindowMaker (wmaker), FVWM  and others.
[05:29] <wayward> SonicChao, that's weird.  Probably cached them somewhere.
[05:29] <Falc> Do I need to remove Gnome?
[05:29] <halitech> ~L~ Seveas, I usually try to find out for myself first so I usually read before sticking my foot in my mouth ~L~
[05:29] <patter> well, found what I wanted
[05:29] <ompaul> what is the tool for creating scripts in rc.2 and so on? (I have the script)
[05:29] <Seveas> Falc, no
[05:29] <SonicChao> wayward: Where could they be cached?
[05:29] <Seveas> ompaul, update-rc.d
[05:29] <ompaul> Seveas, thanks
[05:29] <Enverex> Falc, Just install XFCE with Synaptic
[05:29] <wayward> I think it was rcupdate or similar, ompaul
[05:29] <orbin> usam1: go to it, then click on the orange thing in the url bar
[05:29] <Daver2u> Is there a problem with the repositories
[05:29] <jackson> wayward: I'm using GNOME right now with the drivers but I can't launch any programs that use glx (not even glxgears)
[05:29] <Daver2u> ?
[05:29] <wayward> update-rc.d
[05:29] <Falc> Okay. Thanks for all your help;.
[05:29] <gnomefreak> Enverex: no its install xubuntu-desktop
[05:29] <Enverex> Daver2u, Read the topic
[05:30] <wil`yum> would a different channel be more appropriate for my question?
[05:30] <Enverex> gnomefreak, You don't need ALL that really
[05:30] <usam1> orbin: lemme check
[05:30] <Seveas> wil`yum, depends on the question 
[05:30] <wil`yum> my 'shared folders' applet stopped working. Is this a common failure? where to look?
[05:30] <shriphani> guys will gwge download slower in xfce ?
[05:30] <Enverex> jackson, Error?
[05:30] <gnomefreak> Enverex: a new user shouldnt have to look and install each app that he _needs_ by hand
[05:30] <kitsuneofdoom> I have the same problem with glx, I think it's due to the lack of an acellerated driver
[05:30] <wayward> jackson, check the X logs at /var/log/Xorg.*.log, seek the latest one
[05:31] <Enverex> gnomefreak, True, I thought it would pull in the deps for XFCE by hand though
[05:31] <wayward> then find lines starting with [EE] 
[05:31] <wayward> that should give you more data
[05:31] <shaya> is evreything ubuntu down?
[05:31] <XiXaQ> Seveas, hey, that was one nice smiley :) How did you get that?
[05:31] <gnomefreak> Enverex: it pulls in very little
[05:31] <jackson> Enverex: glxgears returns "Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[05:31] <jackson> Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual" other programs launched via GUI just close
[05:31] <kitsuneofdoom> shaya: look up/down/wherever the topic is
[05:31] <ACU> greetings - anyone can help with a hint of what is the best open source GUI for apache server in linux ?
[05:31] <Seveas> !  > XiXaQ
[05:31] <wayward> Seveas is using kana :)
[05:31] <ubotu> I know nothing about   - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[05:31] <Enverex> gnomefreak, Well it would be enough for XFCE to wor...

[05:31] <usam1> orbin: thanks a lot
[05:31] <jackson> wayward: you want me to pastebin it?
[05:31] <orbin> usam1: yw
[05:31] <wayward> yeah, PM me
[05:31] <dr_willis> acu - i would check freshmeat.net -
[05:31] <shriphani> would gwget download slower in xfce ?
[05:32] <shachaf> !  > shachaf
[05:32] <ubotu> I know nothing about   - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[05:32] <wayward>  is a kana symbol
[05:32] <Seveas> !offtopic
[05:32] <wayward> I think katakana
[05:32] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[05:32] <ompaul> Seveas, thanks  - my mind wend blank and it is not somehting I do on a daily basis
[05:32] <roe> http://mirrors.xmission.com/ubuntu/
[05:32] <jackson> wayward: I'm kind of an IRC noob. how to I PM?
[05:32] <roe> works
[05:32] <roe> but they don't do security
[05:32] <shriphani> Seveas, will gwget download slower on xfce?
[05:32] <wayward> jackson, do a /msg wayward
[05:33] <Seveas> shriphani, no
[05:33] <wil`yum> maybe i should come back later when you don't have to read the topic for half the people here
[05:33] <wil`yum> thanks
[05:33] <gnomefreak> gwget will be same on any DE you use it
[05:33] <wayward> or double-click me in the list if you use GAIM

[05:33] <webben> are the repositories down atm ?
[05:33] <amadeo1988> Hi, Can someone direct me to a emule alternative for ubuntu?

[05:33] <wayward> amadeo1988: aMule
[05:33] <GaiaX11> Hi guys is there any channel in this server for electric engineer issues?
[05:34] <XiXaQ> GaiaX11, /list ?
[05:34] <amadeo1988> Thanks but i heard of another one also call i think maybe llmule?
[05:34] <amadeo1988> i was more interested in that since, my friend uses it
[05:34] <frogzoo> amadeo1988: amule dude
[05:34] <amadeo1988> but i cant contact him atm to find out what it was called exactly
[05:34] <wayward> amadeo1988, have you tried description-search in Synaptic, keyword "emule"?
[05:34] <amadeo1988> hmm nope
[05:35] <amadeo1988> how would i do that wayward
[05:35] <amadeo1988> im new to ubuntu
[05:35] <wayward> hit the Search button, then make sure you have "Description and Name"
[05:35] <The_Jack_of_Club> seems like theres more than repos down right now
[05:35] <wayward> in the option box
[05:35] <wayward> yeah, forums are down
[05:35] <XiXaQ> amadeo1988, if your friend uses it, perhaps you should ask him to tell you its name?
[05:35] <frogzoo> The_Jack_of_Club: forums too if I'm not mistaken
[05:35] <codecaine> wheres is apache2 index.html so I can make a page?
[05:35] <Seveas> codecaine, /var/www
[05:35] <MarsRouter> hi any one can help me to create network bridge
[05:35] <gnomefreak> TheMoebius: everything that runs on ubuntu servers is down
[05:35] <amadeo1988> i can't contact him at the moment
[05:35] <amadeo1988> thats why i asked
[05:35] <Mewshi> anyone here like catgirls?
[05:35] <The_Jack_of_Club> ouch :P
[05:35] <wayward> codecaine, depends how you set up your apache.conf/httpd.cond :)
[05:36] <wayward> httpd.conf*
[05:36] <Enverex> amadeo1988, Just search for "mule"
[05:36] <gnomefreak> The_Jack_of_Club: read teh /topic
[05:36] <The_Jack_of_Club> indeed
[05:36] <frogzoo> MarsRouter: did you install bridge-utils ? then just bridge your nics, done
[05:36] <XiXaQ> amadeo1988, they should be compatible anyway.
[05:36] <The_Jack_of_Club> thanks for the sapart serveas :P
[05:36] <MarsRouter> frogzoo: ok
[05:36] <wayward> aMule is okayish
[05:37] <GaiaX11> XiXaQ: /list *electric engineer*  ???!!!
[05:37] <XiXaQ> amadeo1988, perhaps you're thinking of  mldonkey?
[05:37] <amadeo1988> maybe
[05:37] <gnuts> hi all,  had to fsck a drive, and the lost+found folder contains only one file, #7208961, of an unknown type. Can I recover data?
[05:37] <usam1> can i track user "usama" on the irc? how can i contact him?
[05:37] <gnomefreak> GaiaX11: ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:38] <wayward> gnuts, is that ext2 or ext3
[05:38] <GaiaX11> gnomefreak: Great! Thanks!
[05:38] <wayward> I think ext2 :)
[05:38] <gnuts> wayward, it is an ext2 drive
[05:38] <frogzoo> gnuts: just the one file? well put it back where it came from then...
[05:38] <wayward> that would be a fragment from some file, most likely
[05:38] <gnuts> It wasn't a file I had before
[05:38] <wayward> probably a truncated ending
[05:38] <wayward> or something in the middle
[05:38] <codecaine> I don't see anything like shows where the index.html would be in the conf file
[05:39] <wayward> anyway, it's not neccesarily a whole file
[05:39] <codecaine> when I got to /www/var I see index. but that have weird extensions
[05:39] <dr_willis> weird?
[05:39] <frogzoo> codecaine: wierd, like .php ?
[05:39] <codecaine> .es
[05:39] <gnuts> once, for a moment the folder contained a bunch of mp3's and stuff, now it just shows #7208961
[05:39] <codecaine> .en
[05:39] <usam1> sorry go dc, now can anyone tel me that how can i contact to user "usama"?
[05:39] <gnomefreak> codecaine: those are languages
[05:39] <codecaine> .ca etc
[05:39] <frogzoo> codecaine: translations dude
[05:40] <amadeo1988> I have a question, When i installed ubuntu at first i could see my other ntfs partitions in the places > computer, but due to mounting issues i was told to change the mount place and now they dont appear there. How do i make my ntfs paritions appear there now? atm the only thing that appears there is CD/DVD Rom, Floppydisk, Filesystems
[05:40] <gnomefreak> usam1: ask in #ubuntu-offtopic or #freenode-social
[05:40] <frogzoo> usam1: lol
[05:40] <troy1of2> Just out of curiosity, why isn't the firefox logo used by default when you install Ubuntu. I figure it must be because of some licensing thing or something but was curious if that's right or not. So what's the low down?
[05:40] <Seveas> troy1of2, mozilla trademark prevents it
[05:41] <troy1of2> Ah, I see.
[05:41] <amadeo1988> so far noone has been able to help me with that problem.. guess no one can
[05:41] <SonicChao> wayward: I got it fixed
[05:41] <MarsRouter> frogzoo: when bridge is created will there only interface br0??
[05:41] <wayward> SonicChao, cool
[05:42] <jrib> amadeo1988: where is your ntfs partition mounted?
[05:42] <SonicChao> wayward: 'Verdana' was hiding in /usr/share/fonts
[05:42] <orbin> amadeo1988: iirc, mount it in /media and it will show up there
[05:42] <frogzoo> MarsRouter: no, there'll be eth0/eth1 connected to br0
[05:42] <wayward> amadeo1988: I'm not quite sure how Ubuntu handles those dirs.  I think whatever is under /media will be accesible.
[05:42] <amadeo1988> /mnt/hda5
[05:42] <amadeo1988> etc
[05:42] <Enverex> How do you apply a .diff file?
[05:42] <ryan_naruto> how can i install video codecs my mplayer cant play avi files
[05:42] <jrib> Enverex: patch
[05:42] <s_spiff> hey wiki and repos not working opr something?
[05:42] <inazad_> Hi there, my WiFi' card it's not detected by my computer.. but yesterday, it was.. I have edited the file "/etc/network/interfaces" and now... How I can fix thi s?
[05:42] <Seveas> Enverex, patch < file.diff
[05:42] <MarsRouter> frogzoo: ok
[05:42] <amadeo1988> iirc ?
[05:42] <jackson> wayward: http://www.copypot.com/236 that's my /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[05:42] <jrib> !w32codecs > ryan_naruto
[05:42] <SonicChao> s_spiff: the repos are down
[05:43] <orbin> amadeo1988: if i remember correctly
[05:43] <SonicChao> s_spiff: And the wiki is also down
[05:43] <wayward> jackson: I'll give it a look
[05:43] <jackson> wayward: thanks a lot
[05:43] <jrib> amadeo1988: I was going to suggest what orbin told you, also I think you may need to use the 'user' option in your fstab line (in case just mounting in /media doesn't work by itself)
[05:43] <The_Jack_of_Club> you mind maybe stop kicking people and start talking to them first?
[05:43] <ryan_naruto> would i type sudo apt-get install !w32codecs
[05:44] <goonies> ahhh i need the forums
[05:44] <troy1of2> Well, here's something that happened to me this morning. Probably just a dumb newbie thing but here goes. I have a partition which I just got working right thanks to some guys in here helping me out yesterday. So I decided I wanted to put a link to it on my desktop so I could go straight to it whenever I wanted. Well, this morning I try to put some other links on the desktop to subdirectories under that one and it won't let me. So, 
[05:44] <goonies> lol
[05:44] <codecaine> :/
[05:44] <SonicChao> ryan_naruto: No, loose the !
[05:44] <Seveas> The_Jack_of_Club, only kicks seem to get their attention
[05:44] <s_spiff> ok, sorry man, i was in the channel for the past 4 or more hours, i didnt notice the channel subject.
[05:44] <jrib> ryan_naruto: no, what I wrote just makes ubotu send you a private message with info on how to get them
[05:44] <kbrosnan> troy1of2, well if ubuntu were to ship unmodified binaries of firefox then it would be less of an issue, but then there would still be the question of wether the licence on the logo is too restrictive
[05:44] <wayward> jackson: I see that GLX loads fine but fails to initialize.  Is your NVdriver module loaded in the kernel?
[05:44] <SonicChao> ryan_naruto: It would just be sudo apt-get install w32codecs
[05:44] <ryan_naruto> ok.. thanks
[05:44] <gnomefreak> SonicChao: w32codecs are not in repos
[05:44] <jackson> wayward: I have no idea =/

[05:45] <mspreij> this is a spectator sport :-)
[05:45] <ryan_naruto> thanks !<SonicChao>
[05:45] <wayward> jackson: do this:  sudo lsmod|grep NVdriver
[05:45] <Rinux> all screen resolutions except 640*480 are blacked out, but I know there are more
[05:45] <amadeo1988> it doesnt work for me
[05:45] <inazad_> Hi there, my WiFi' card it's not detected by my computer.. but yesterday, it was.. I have edited the file "/etc/network/interfaces" and now... How I can fix thi s?
[05:45] <Ronz> you can also use libxine-extracodecs instead of w32
[05:46] <ryan_naruto> thanks !SonicChao
[05:46] <SonicChao> gnomefreak: Ahh...ok...I downloaded it for free though.
[05:46] <SonicChao> ryan_naruto: no need to use an 1
[05:46] <SonicChao> !*
[05:46] <ubotu> I know nothing about * - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[05:46] <jackson> wayward: returned nothing. glxinfo still bad
[05:46] <gnomefreak> SonicChao: its free to download not free to use
[05:46] <amadeo1988> jrib: i did that for my shortcut to get wine to run world of warcraft and it wont work
[05:46] <ryan_naruto> how do you send private msg hehe am not a irc chatter
[05:46] <wayward> jackson: okay, then do this:  sudo modprobe NVdriver
[05:46] <gnomefreak> SonicChao: think closed source
[05:46] <wayward> jackson: if you get no output, then it's ok
[05:46] <SonicChao> gnomefreak: Oh, ok.
[05:46] <Seveas> ryan_naruto, /msg nickname message
[05:46] <Rinux> /msg <nick> <message>
[05:46] <ryan_naruto> like what ur doing it appears red on my screen
[05:46] <sioux> hi
[05:46] <jrib> amadeo1988: what command did you use?
[05:46] <SonicChao> gnomefreak: I usually listen to OGG. ;)
[05:47] <The_Jack_of_Club> you have to register with the freenode server first
[05:47] <jackson> wayward: "FATAL: Module NVdriver not found."
[05:47] <amadeo1988> i made a shortcut with ine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/World\ of\ Warcraft/WoW.exe in it.. and it didnt run it but if i ran that in terminal it runs fine
[05:47] <frogzoo> amadeo1988: what's the problem with wow?
[05:47] <amadeo1988> wine*
[05:47] <ryan_naruto> thanks you all.. have a pleasant evening
[05:47] <wayward> ** NVidia users: NV proprietary module's name is NVdriver.ko, right? **
[05:47] <Rinux> how do you add more screen resolutions?
[05:47] <Ronz> later ryan_naruto
[05:47] <amadeo1988> no wow runs fine, if run it with wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/World\ of\ Warcraft/WoW.exe in terminal but i want to create a shortcut on my desktop and it wont work
[05:47] <gnomefreak> !fixres > Rinux
[05:47] <Rinux> the only choice is 640*480
[05:47] <bobbyd> wayward: nvidia
[05:47] <jrib> amadeo1988: try give the full path to wine
[05:47] <gnomefreak> Rinux: read your pm
[05:47] <Ronz> Rinux: edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
[05:48] <wayward> bobbyd: thanks
[05:48] <zalmoxes> what is the maximum number of half-open tcp/ip connections?
[05:48] <frogzoo> amadeo1988: like this: wine "D:\World of Warcraft\WoW.exe"
[05:48] <jrib> amadeo1988: s/give/giving
[05:48] <wayward> jakson: try sudo modprobe nvidia :)
[05:48] <Rinux> thanks gnomefreak
[05:48] <cmug> what kernel is in the dapper live dvd? also what is the vmlinux-* called?
[05:48] <khoda> hey are the mirrors still down?
[05:48] <aeth> yep
[05:48] <sioux> hi I have some problem with splashy at the boot i get this error xml_parser_text_handler who know something about it
[05:48] <frogzoo> amadeo1988: the app expects a dos path, not nix
[05:48] <linuxuser> ubuntu has been slipping lately
[05:48] <ryan_naruto> there is no w32codecs
[05:48] <bobbyd> sioux: google that error
[05:48] <amadeo1988> alright thanks ill try that
[05:48] <jrib> ryan_naruto: did you read the message from ubotu?
[05:48] <wayward> ...I still find nvidia much more logical than fglrx.
[05:48] <linuxuser> getting sloppy
[05:49] <sioux> bobby google diden't help me
[05:49] <linuxuser> dapper is still somewhat buggy
[05:49] <khoda> is there anyway around the servers being down? i was reinstalling and now grub is messed up and i cant get into windoze.
[05:49] <ryan_naruto> not yet its my 5th day using ubuntu im noob...
[05:49] <zazeem> i need hep
[05:49] <bobbyd> linuxuser: in what sense?
[05:49] <amadeo1988> didnt work i got an error
[05:49] <zalmoxes> what is the maximum number of half-open tcp/ip connections?
[05:49] <amadeo1988> want me to paste it?
[05:49] <zazeem> whats the command to see running processes
[05:49] <Seveas> khoda, you could try se.archive.ubuntu.com
[05:49] <wayward> jackson: sudo modprobe nvidia;  then you will have to restart your X server
[05:49] <Seveas> zazeem, ps or top
[05:49] <jrib> zazeem: top, ps
[05:49] <linuxuser> ehhh it seems to get hosed easier than breezy
[05:49] <bobbyd> zalmoxes: please don't repeat
[05:49] <khoda> Seveas: whats that?
[05:49] <jackson> wayward: all right I'll try that. thanks
[05:49] <Seveas> zazeem, or install htop for a prettier version of top
[05:49] <jrib> ryan_naruto: are you using xchat?
[05:49] <khoda> Seveas: (first time user)
[05:49] <zazeem> thnx
[05:49] <linuxuser> im not a devleoper, but ive had more problems with dapper than breezy
[05:50] <bobbyd> linuxuser: ok, that's rather vague :)
[05:50] <linuxuser> ya i know , sorry
[05:50] <frogzoo> linuxuser: breezy's had 6months to mature
[05:50] <bobbyd> linuxuser: also, you could use breezy :)
[05:50] <linuxuser> and i install lots of proprietary software
[05:50] <khoda> is there anyway around the servers being down? i was reinstalling and now grub is messed up and i cant get into windoze.
[05:50] <wayward> lol what luck
[05:50] <linuxuser> and thats where most of the trouble seems to be unfortunately
[05:51] <Ronz> you should be able to do an offline install, khoda
[05:51] <_rp> i heard repeating helps
[05:51] <khoda> Ronz: how do i do that
[05:51] <dharma> is there any mirror I can use to install packages??
[05:51] <jackson> wayward: didn't work :(
[05:51] <shriphani> guysy are downloads in gwget slower than usual ?
[05:51] <sioux> hey people what's happening with ubuntuforums and drapper repos? seems are down
[05:51] <frogzoo> bye sioux
[05:51] <_rp> topiccccccc
[05:51] <Ronz> khoda, when you go to install dapper...just unplug your network cable. the CD will realize that your not online, and wont update the packages through the net
[05:51] <sioux> bye frogzoo
[05:52] <bobbyd> linuxuser: well, the ubuntu guys can't really help with propietary software. But it's probably just because that kind of thing lags behind the latest kernels and drivers, so after a while it'll probably catch up
[05:52] <spartas> sioux: they're down
[05:52] <wayward> jackson: I can't think of anything but a reboot :)
[05:52] <frogzoo> sioux: read the topic dude
[05:52] <wayward> jackson: if it still doesn't work, then at least you know you have a problem
[05:52] <rinux> can you have ubotu pm me the message again
[05:52] <JDredd> there is an interdependency between g++-4.0 and libstdc++6-4.0-dev. I am installing offline (without synaptic) so is there a program or method to solve this?
[05:52] <rinux> I restarted x and am now in text mode
[05:52] <frogzoo> rinux: you could scroll up
[05:52] <rinux> no
[05:52] <wayward> jackson: you an also try updating your NVidia drivers
[05:52] <rinux> that's in xchat
[05:52] <sioux> frogzoo jap :-)
[05:52] <Seveas> JDredd, yes, install both.
[05:52] <linuxuser> but its still the best linux distro imho :)
[05:52] <linuxuser> as far as ease of use
[05:52] <rinux> I don't have a gui
[05:52] <wayward> jackson: debugging X/proprietary drivers/GLX is a mess
[05:53] <rinux> 0_o
[05:53] <zazeem> hmm i cant download the htop package has a link error
[05:53] <rinux> I'm runnning irssi
[05:53] <javajazz> maybe it would help if topic was not confined to a one line space at the top of xchat
[05:53] <sioux> who knows splashy? i have parsing problems
[05:53] <sobersabre> hi, is there a problem with ubuntu.com ?
[05:53] <mimithebrain> yes me
[05:53] <linuxuser> have i been disconnected
[05:53] <rinux> how do you start x?
[05:53] <linuxuser> ?
[05:53] <jrib> SonicChao: /topic
[05:53] <mimithebrain> startx
[05:53] <jrib> oops
[05:53] <JDredd> Seveas, I'm using gdebi 0.1.4, how do I open two packages at once?
[05:53] <linuxuser> no text scrolling by
[05:53] <zazeem> is ubuntu archive dead
[05:53] <wayward> ubuntu.com Is Having a Massage.
[05:53] <mimithebrain> dpkg -i packageone packagetwo
[05:53] <ryan_naruto> i hate my comp its too slow...
[05:53] <SonicChao> jrib: ???
[05:53] <shriphani> unfortunately a download via firefox is hitting 25 kbps while one thru gwget is slogging at 3 kbps :(
[05:54] <linuxuser> ok there it is
[05:54] <bobbyd> linuxuser: no
[05:54] <zalmoxes> how do i increase the maximum number of allowed half-open tcp/ip connections?
[05:54] <Seveas> JDredd, not. try dpkg
[05:54] <spartas> will i royally break my lcd monitor if i plug in my tv tuner card to it via s-video with an incorrect modeline?
[05:54] <sobersabre> Seveas :)
[05:54] <Seveas> sudo dpkg -i filea.deb fileb.deb
[05:54] <The_Jack_of_Club> i think people are interested in "why?" not as much as "is?"
[05:54] <rinux> whatever
[05:54] <jrib> SonicChao: "oops" sorry :P
[05:54] <wayward> shriphani: sounds like a proxy issue
[05:54] <ryan_naruto> is p3 500 256mb ram enough to make ubuntu run nicely
[05:54] <JDredd> Seveas, ah ok, thanks
[05:54] <mimithebrain> spartas: yeah
[05:54] <shriphani> wayward, i dont use a proxy
[05:54] <SonicChao> jrib: Ok. :P
[05:54] <shriphani> and gwget is configured to use my direct internet connection
[05:54] <frogzoo> ryan_naruto: maybe try xfce instead of gnome
[05:54] <sobersabre> Seveas is this an attack or malfunction ?
[05:54] <bobbyd> ryan_naruto: it'll run :)
[05:54] <The_Jack_of_Club> ryan_naruto it will run fine on that
[05:55] <wayward> shriphani: apologies
[05:55] <mimithebrain> haha ->
[05:55] <mimithebrain> "ChanServ: (notice) [#ubuntu]  Many ubuntu services are down - people are working to restore them - DO NOT ASK, we don't know more"
[05:55] <Seveas> sobersabre, malfunction
[05:55] <spartas> mimithebrain, thanks (I can't find the correct modeline for my monitor; it's relatively new)
[05:55] <sobersabre> routers, routers...
[05:55] <fredsa> hi guys
[05:55] <shriphani> wayward, why exactly and apology ?
[05:55] <mimithebrain> spartas: there is a modeline generator online available... you can google it
[05:55] <wayward> shriphani: for giving a wrong advice
[05:55] <fredsa> is it ok to re-attach a heat sink to a cpu or is it a bad idea?
[05:55] <spartas> thanks mimithebrain
[05:55] <mimithebrain> spartas: some don't require a modeline either, EDID will take care of it
[05:55] <shriphani> wayward, no probs :)
[05:56] <wayward> :)
[05:56] <zalmoxes> ryan_naruto: itll run
[05:56] <shriphani> although that has ruined the purpose of a download manager in a big way
[05:56] <frogzoo> fredsa: it's actually required...& use some thermal paste
[05:56] <khoda> Hey - After I install the Alternate CD offline, will I be able to get any packages to continue the install or do I have to wait till the servers are back?
[05:56] <ttyfscker> whats something good besides k3b to burn dvd/cd iso, audio (mp3/ogg), and other types of cds?
[05:56] <ryan_naruto> yeah ive left gnome deskktop im using xfce but its still quite slow.. I'm copying and my comp is slow i even type without seing what im typing this is like my old 386 compyuter
[05:56] <Seveas> khoda, you don't need to be online to install Ubuntu
[05:56] <fredsa> frogzoo, why is it required?
[05:56] <Tommy2k4> how do i reinstall i810 video driver
[05:56] <fredl> Hi, I narrowed down a problem I was having regarding ATI fglrx drivers...
[05:56] <frogzoo> fredsa: without the HSF, the cpu will fry
[05:56] <Hexidigital> Seveas: are the servers running dapper, by chance?
[05:57] <khoda> Seveas: Yeah, I know - I'm installing now. I mean if I want to get ubuntu-desktop do i have to be online?
[05:57] <wayward> News Just In.  Shuttleworth gone to a space shuttle excursion, Ubuntu services will be up as soon as he returns.
[05:57] <troy1of2> Error "Not on the same file system" while deleting "/home/troy/...ared Stuff".
[05:57] <mimithebrain> Seveas: you don't? When I installed ubuntu, it hung at configuring apt until I connected
[05:57] <frogzoo> Hexidigital: read the topic dude
[05:57] <Seveas> Hexidigital, i don't know
[05:57] <fredl> what's the best way to report this problem and how I narrowed it down?
[05:57] <khoda> mimithebrain: i just took out my network cable and its working
[05:57] <Hexidigital> frogzoo: i did
[05:57] <CrazyDoode> fredl: what was it?
[05:57] <wayward> fredl, the place would be at ubuntuforums
[05:57] <mimithebrain> khoda: oh ok, must be some problem on my part
[05:57] <frogzoo> Hexidigital: soz, time I turned in
[05:57] <Enverex> federic, on the launchpad site go to Ubuntu then file it in bugs
[05:57] <Seveas> khoda, what cd are you using to install?
[05:58] <khoda> mimithebrain: no, it's a problem with the servers
[05:58] <bobbyd> ryan_naruto: maybe you need more ram, check what's running and uninstall some stuff...
[05:58] <khoda> Seveas: Alternate CD
[05:58] <wayward> there's a million ATI/fglrx/AMD64/X/Xgl threads
[05:58] <Hexidigital> Seveas: i experienced a bug in dapper with my eth0 and eth1 connections, if they are multinetworked
[05:58] <jackson> hey my nvidia kernel module isn't loading properly and it's preventing me from effectively using GLX. modprobe nvidia doesn't solve the problem.
[05:58] <Seveas> khoda, ubuntu-desktop is on that cd
[05:58] <fredl> crazydoode: well I didn't solve it, but I found that running an earlier kernel takes the problem away yet introduces another problem.
[05:58] <fredsa> frogzoo, it's still attached at the mo, I'm just wondering about taking it off and putting it back on again. Should I use thermal paste again (I've already applied it once before)
[05:58] <mimithebrain> khoda: yeah, but I did the install way before the servers where down ;)
[05:58] <Seveas> Hexidigital, did you file it?
[05:58] <wayward> jackson: well there you have it. :)  Just reinstall NVidia drivers.
[05:58] <bobbyd> jackson: use lspci to see if your hardware is recognised
[05:58] <khoda> Seveas: I guess I'll ask my question again once I have it installed. I'm a first time linux user, dont know how to do anything >_<
[05:58] <codecaine> is synaptic down for downloads?
[05:58] <Hexidigital> Seveas: if i reboot my server (still does it), my eth1 will become eth2 for no reason... i wonder if that could contribute to the dns error w/ the servers
[05:58] <phaedrus44> are some repositories down
[05:58] <mimithebrain> codecaine: the rep are down
[05:58] <jackson> wayward: I've done that like five times =/
[05:58] <ryan_naruto> i thought ubuntu would run faster than winxp on this machine???
[05:58] <CrazyDoode> fredl: ati is a pain. I hate it. all my cards are ati.
[05:58] <Seveas> Hexidigital, fix your /etc/iftab
[05:58] <frogzoo> fredsa: you should clean the old lot off & reapply just a little/enough to close the air gaps
[05:59] <zalmoxes> how do i increase the maximum number of allowed half-open tcp/ip connections? for use with bittorent......
[05:59] <GlassCasket> So I just tried installing Ubuntu with the alternate CD, and installed Grub to the mbr. But when I boot, I get error 17. :\
[05:59] <Enverex> ryan_naruto, Why did you think that?
[05:59] <wayward> jakson: can you give me the output of modprobe nvidia>
[05:59] <codecaine> gentoo is the fastest linux I ever seen funs way faster then xp too
[05:59] <fredl> crazydoode: I have had no problems with the fglrx driver in Breezy at all, installed like a charm
[05:59] <jackson> bobbyd: yeah it's recognized
[05:59] <wayward> jackson: sorry, sudo modprobe nvidia > log.txt
[05:59] <Seveas> codecaine, impossible. YOu already waste 2/3 of the time compiling things
[05:59] <frogzoo> zalmoxes: u using firestarter?
[05:59] <bobbyd> ryan_naruto: it should run just as fast, maybe your graphics hardware isn't installed properly
[05:59] <fredl> !paste
[05:59] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[05:59] <fredsa> frogzoo, should I use anything particularly to remove the old paste?
[05:59] <zalmoxes> frogzoo: no
[05:59] <jimmygoon> codecaine - everything ubuntu seems to be down, and I dislike the compiling aspect of gento
[05:59] <codecaine> thats because it compiles from source
[05:59] <bobbyd> ryan_naruto: check it's not using the vesa driver
[05:59] <sven-tek> ryan_naruto, is your hardsisk dma mode activated?
[05:59] <zalmoxes> frogzoo: freeloader
[06:00] <Hexidigital> Seveas: only one entry... just a thought... was the last thing i could contribute to the solution of this problem
[06:00] <codecaine> but have you actaully used it
[06:00] <Seveas> codecaine, funroll-loops.org
[06:00] <jimmygoon> yes
[06:00] <codecaine> you must adminit its fast
[06:00] <Enverex> codecaine, I've ran Gentoo on my server for 5 years or so now and 3 years on my desktop and longer on my laptop, I can't say there was much speed difference
[06:00] <frogzoo> fredsa: isopropanol is best
 is synaptic down for downloads? <- some people dont understand what repositorys and services are
[06:00] <drunkmonkey> Has anybody had problems with SmartMedia flash disks?
[06:00] <kbrooks> Seveas: dont link to him
[06:00] <jackson> wayward: log.txt comes out blank
[06:00] <regeya> Enverex: I concur
[06:00] <fredsa> frogzoo, thanks :)
[06:00] <Enverex> codecaine, Other than the hours, even days spent compiling things
[06:00] <wayward> jackson: sorry again.  sudo modprobe nvidia &> log.txt
[06:00] <Seveas> kbrooks, stop trying to boss me around.
[06:00] <CrazyDoode> fredl: some do, my 9250 works fine, but my 9800pro is a bag of dirt.
[06:00] <kbrooks> The_Jack_of_Club: why not educate him?
[06:00] <frogzoo> zalmoxes: iptables doesn't block half opens by default
[06:00] <fredl> when I run a lower version kernel and then start fgl_glxgears, I get http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18696
[06:00] <codecaine> I like use ubuntu because of the easy just was quite impressed with gentoo
[06:00] <kbrooks> The_Jack_of_Club: Them, sorry
[06:00] <fredl> does that mean anything to anybody?
[06:01] <The_Jack_of_Club> educating people with kicks is not a good way to go though
[06:01] <wayward> at least the paste bin works
[06:01] <Seveas> The_Jack_of_Club, leave running the channel to us ok?
[06:01] <jackson> wayward: again it's blank =/
[06:01] <Enverex> The main  reason I changed to Ubuntu was because I was sick of being told to "fix it myself" every time the distro had some sort of complete breakdown due to broken ebuilds
[06:01] <zalmoxes> frogzoo: there is no limit to the number of ips i can be connected to at one time in gnome?
[06:01] <The_Jack_of_Club> ok
[06:01] <CrazyDoode> fredl: it's not installed properly
[06:01] <sven-tek> ryan_naruto, whats the result of  sudo hdparm -d /dev/hda
[06:01] <Seveas> wayward, that's because the pastebin is not in the Ubuntu DC 
[06:01] <GlassCasket> So I just tried installing Ubuntu with the alternate CD, and installed Grub to the mbr. But when I boot, I get error 17. :\ Any ideas?
[06:01] <wayward> jackson: then your module loads ok
[06:01] <frogzoo> drunkmonkey: yep - cf won't autodetect in dapper
[06:02] <jackson> wayward: oh cool. any idea what the problem could be then?
[06:02] <The_Jack_of_Club> ill consider a different distribution with a more helpful community thank you
[06:02] <regeya> Enverex, codecaine:  the only advantage *I* ever saw to Gentoo was when many, many apps had things available only as compile-time options...for stuff that linked against non-free, gentoo was great.  also agree that educating people with kicks is just going to encourage jackasses to be even more, erm, jackassy, just to throw in my 0.02 into another conversation
[06:02] <jimmygoon> GlassCasket - what is your hd setup
[06:02] <jimmygoon> ?
[06:02] <CrazyDoode> fredl: put up the output of fglrxinfo on the pastebin
[06:02] <jimmygoon> dual boot or multiple partitions?
[06:02] <sobersabre>  <---- Seveas what is this character ?!
[06:02] <GlassCasket> jimmygoon: I have a music hardrive (IDE), XP drive (SATA), and Linux drive (SATA)
[06:02] <kbrooks> sobersabre: UTF-8 character
[06:02] <wayward> jackson: I wouldn't know.  I've never had trouble with NVidia except after updating kernel, which would normally require me to reinstall the module itself.
[06:02] <sobersabre> wow...
[06:02] <GlassCasket> jimmygoon: I tried booting from all three also.
[06:02] <sobersabre> :)
[06:02] <kbrooks> sobersabre: it's latin-1, I think
[06:03] <jimmygoon> GlassCasket - which hd did you install the Grub to?
[06:03] <wayward> sobersabre: it's a japanese kana chracter
[06:03] <fredl> crazydoode: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18697 seems like it's using Mesa now...
[06:03] <fredl> Hrmmm
[06:03] <zalmoxes> this place is overcrowded
[06:03] <frogzoo> zalmoxes: only kernel limits which will probly depend on memory/cpu
[06:03] <sobersabre> wayward, I thought it's japanese, but it looks like a wicked grin
[06:03] <jimmygoon> zalmoxes - yes it is
[06:03] <GlassCasket> jimmygoon: It asked me to install it to the mbr, so I did. And saw it was doing 'grub-install (hd0)'
[06:03] <fredl> so lessee.... maybe there's something wrong in the linux-restricted-modules coz it seems I don't have those installed for *this* kernel
[06:03] <wayward> sobersabre, I think it's from katakana :)
[06:03] <codecaine> can you compile the newest kernels with ubuntu without waiting for an update?
[06:03] <Enverex> sobersabre, It means Tsu in Japanese and Liu in Chinese.
[06:04] <jimmygoon> GlassCasket - you might try installing it onto a diff hd, honestly though I really have to go, something just came up, sorry!!
[06:04] <sobersabre> Tzu or Tsu ?
[06:04] <jatek> hy
[06:04] <frogzoo> GlassCasket: describe you disk setup...
[06:04] <GlassCasket> jimmygoon: Thanks.

[06:04] <jbholman> okay, i know about a million people have probably asked this in the last five hours, but has there been any indication as to why many ubuntu services are currently down?
[06:04] <profoX`> oh oh :P
[06:04] <wayward> sobersabre: found it. Katakana "tsu"
[06:04] <fredl> the linux-restricted-modules don't contain any proprietary ATI code, right?
[06:04] <profoX`> check the topic jbholman quick !
[06:05] <goatmale> no one knows
[06:05] <max> hi
[06:05] <goatmale> people speculate ninjas..
[06:05] <jbholman> profox, oh i did, i was just wondering about the "why" aspect, but thanks!
[06:05] <wayward> fredl: actually they carry fglrx drivers
[06:05] <profoX`> jbholman: oh, i don't think anyone knows.. someone told me it was a DNS problem
[06:05] <GlassCasket> OoberMick: He seems to be in the Grub prompt though. :\
[06:05] <codecaine> is respirtorys were to go away for good it would be a tough time trying to install stuff on ubuntu
[06:05] <marks> ahhh... ninjas.  Didn't realize they were after Ubuntu
[06:05] <jbholman> i would tend to think pirates over ninjas
[06:05] <sobersabre> goatmale what are you talking about ?
[06:05] <jatek> help please!!!!I'm from hungary, and I don't know, that where I go to chat!!!!!!!!!!
[06:05] <jbholman> or maybe pirates and ninjas at the same time
[06:05] <fredl> wayward: hmm. And those are then compiled from source?
[06:05] <Seveas> !hu
[06:05] <ubotu> Ha magyarul beszelsz kerlek probald a #ubuntu-hu
[06:06] <jbholman> but they usually don't work together
[06:06] <MarcN> Any word on what the archives' problems are?  I have a 300Mhz system right now and want to use xubuntu-desktop.
[06:06] <OoberMick> GlassCasket: you can do that at the grub prompt i think
[06:06] <jatek> okay, thank you
[06:06] <Warbo> jbholman: Damn pirates. I bet they were trying to get software for free from the Ubuntu servers. How dare they
[06:06] <Cyball> hi can somebody tell me how can i send a TERM signal to an process without the command kill ???
[06:06] <jatek> bye
[06:06] <profoX`> MarcN: read before you ask.. the question is being asked constantly.. no one knows.. people suspect ninjas and pirates.. and someone thinks its a DNS problem
[06:06] <GlassCasket> OoberMick: I don't even get a Grub prompt, I boot and it gives me the error right away.
[06:06] <kbrooks> Warbo: lol
[06:06] <hangfire> cocdecaine- yes if repositorys went away, ubuntu would go back to dependecy hell
[06:06] <jatek> is someone, who from hungary?
[06:06] <jbholman> Warbo: Silly pirates.
[06:07] <wayward> fredl: only to some extent.  NVidia and ATI provide open-source wrappers which are used to inject their closed-source core modules into the kernel.  Those wrappers are subject to change along with the kernel.
[06:07] <MarcN> profoX`: I did see that sevices were done.  Wondering why.
[06:07] <ttyfscker> whats up with the ubuntu repos going down here lately?? yesterday us.archive.ubuntu.com was down.. today its archive.ubuntu.com
[06:07] <profoX`> lol Warbo
[06:07] <fredl> wayward: it just seems odd to me, when the linux-restricted-modules package is not installed, fglrxinfo tells me the OpenGL vendor string is Mesa Project. does that make sense ? (I'm still using the fglrx driver)
[06:07] <kbrooks> jbholman: What?
[06:07] <wayward> fredl: core source is closed.
[06:07] <Anti-Tedd> Canonical had a power cut. Get over it.
[06:07] <regeya> ttyfscker: READ the TOPIC please...ty
[06:07] <jbholman> kbrooks: just having some fun
[06:07] <jbholman> ...not really talking about software pirates
[06:07] <wayward> fredl: yeah, Mesa loads up when there is no native OpenGL implementation
[06:07] <jbholman> more about traditional pirates
[06:07] <profoX`> MarcN: yes alot of people are wondering why :) but no one knows..
[06:07] <OoberMick> GlassCasket: I see well the error means that grub doesn't understand the partition format. Do you have a scsi drive?
[06:07] <kitsuneofdoom> anyone know why Canonical had a power cut?
[06:07] <fredl> wayward: so the linux-restricted-modules is what you call the 'wrapper' ?
[06:07] <kbrooks> kitsuneofdoom: Eh?
[06:08] <ttyfscker> that was pretty crappy to get kicked
[06:08] <wayward> Shuttleworth burned all his money on yet another space trip and now Canonical is being shut down.
[06:08] <ttyfscker> regeya:: sorry.. i have been this chan a while.... i didnt notice the topic today
[06:08] <regeya> Seveas: has that person been doing that a lot?  I know, I know, leave the running of the channel to you...
[06:08] <marks> us.archive still seems to be down (from where I am)
[06:08] <Cyball>  hi can somebody tell me how can i send a TERM signal to an process without the command kill ???
[06:08] <jatek> HELLO MY NAME IS DORKA
[06:08] <_rp> really
[06:08] <GlassCasket> OoberMick: I have a music hardrive (IDE), XP drive (SATA), and Linux drive (SATA).
[06:08] <profoX`> lol
[06:08] <kitsuneofdoom> Cyball: I think you have to use kill or killall
[06:08] <OoberMick> Cyball: pkill??
[06:08] <kitsuneofdoom> Cyball: or pkill
[06:08] <wayward> fredl: restricted-modules carry all the wrapper code, yeah, and the closed source core modules as well.  That's why they are Restricted. :)
[06:09] <CrazyDoode> +
[06:09] <wayward> fredl: and not installed by default.
[06:09] <kbrooks> canonical.com is ......... down!
[06:09] <javajazz> before i go:  have been running xubuntu on edgy for two weeks now; upgrade from dapper by changing sources to edgy.  synaptic helped fix discrepancies with some intuition from me; video drivers have changed names,etc.  ubuntu will thrive!!!
[06:09] <OoberMick> GlassCasket: Which is the one with grub on it?
[06:09] <frogzoo> GlassCasket: u installed grub to the ide?
[06:09] <Warbo> Is nvidia-glx just a meta-package or does it contain the driver?
[06:09] <wayward> cyball: kill -TERM blah
[06:09] <GlassCasket> frogzoo: I think so, it asked to put it in the mbr and I said alright.
[06:09] <jatek> WHAT ARE YOU UP TO WAYWARD?
[06:09] <Warbo> !caps > jatek
[06:10] <_rp> oh dear
[06:10] <jrib> jatek: please don't use capital letters
[06:10] <Warbo> jrib: Maybe he's on MSDOS
[06:10] <wayward> or on VT102
[06:10] <kbrooks> Warbo: no
[06:10] <kbrooks> wayward: no
[06:10] <kbrooks> please.
[06:10] <_rp> no
[06:10] <kbrooks> dontt be silly
[06:10] <rmjb> hey room
[06:10] <kbrooks> lets talk about ubuntu
[06:10] <fredl> wayward: Hmmm. so is there any decent documentation on that wrapper and core module? I'd like to try and get a trace of some sort to find out where things go wrong. I mean I get all kinds of trashing and eventually a hang with normal work when the linux-restricted-modules is installed, I get an instant hang when I run fgl_glxgears
[06:10] <wayward> lol
[06:11] <eric___> Any idea what happened to the www.ubuntu.com server?
[06:11] <wayward> fredl: it's just a wild guess here, but I'd try playing around with AGP settings
[06:11] <GlassCasket> frogzoo: Should I of said no?
[06:11] <Enverex> hmmm, Ubuntu needs more icons for package files. At the moment all archives seem to have the same icon, which is confusing
[06:11] <Cyball> wayward: i try it but the piece of software i wrote should give me out something but it does not
[06:11] <kbrooks> Enverex: Eh?
[06:11] <GlassCasket> eric___: Read the topic
[06:11] <kbrooks> Enverex: All of them?
[06:11] <fredl> wayward: Hmm, I have an X700 Pro board and it's PCI Express so AGP twiddling isn't going to help
[06:12] <wayward> fredl: ah
[06:12] <rmjb> so I messed around with my GDM and now I can't go into Login Window tool
[06:12] <Cyball> wayward: i' m waiting for SIGTERM :-)
[06:12] <kbrooks> eric___: read the topic please
[06:12] <profoX`> eric___: they say it's pirates or ninjas
[06:12] <rmjb> can someone help?
[06:12] <Hexidigital>  /quit
[06:12] <Warbo> Enverex: You can change the icon theme, or submit your own to the art team
[06:12] <eric___> kbrooks:  That'll teach me to read.
[06:12] <frogzoo> GlassCasket: this problem is caused by the bios & grub disagreeing on the ordering of disks, google/figure out how to boot linux from the grub prompt, then edit the /boot/grub/device.map & reinstall grub
[06:12] <cypher1> hi frogzoo
[06:12] <eric___> profoX': Pirate ninjas?
[06:12] <wayward> Cyball: are you trying to stop your program?
[06:12] <frogzoo> cypher1: hiya
[06:12] <OoberMick> frogzoo: I was about to say that. Need to type faster....
[06:13] <eric___> profoX': Spooky.
[06:13] <fredl> wayward: so if the ATI drivers load Mesa when it can't find the wrapper / kernel module.... 3D should still work right?
[06:13] <Enverex> Warbo, I know that, but I mean the default icon theme seems pretty good, just seems to be lacking severely in that area
[06:13] <profoX`> eric___: or ninja pirates.
[06:13] <goatmale> I think it was those leprichan ninjas
[06:13] <frogzoo> over to you OoberMick, I gotta blow
[06:13] <fredl> wayward: except slower?
[06:13] <Enverex> kbrooks, seems to be
[06:13] <Warbo> rmjb: Try going to a console with ctrl-alt-f1, purging gdm from within dpkg (with a --force-depends option so stuff doesn't get removed) then reinstalling
[06:13] <rmjb> How can I get GDM to show user icons? Al-la Windows Welcome Screen?
[06:13] <eric___> profoX': Did the server get attacked?
[06:13] <goatmale> maybe pirjas
[06:13] <Warbo> Enverex: I don't like the defaults, I use GANT icons
[06:13] <wayward> fredl: I think it's X that loads Mesa.  Yeah, 3D should work, albeit with a low framerate
[06:13] <GlassCasket> frogzoo: Do you think it'll boot if I don't install grub to the mbr?
[06:13] <profoX`> eric___: might be possible
[06:13] <Seveas> people, stop the offtopic talk.
[06:13] <Enverex> kbrooks, gz, tar, bz2, deb, zip, etc all the same icon
[06:13] <rmjb> okay thanks Warbo
[06:14] <eric___> profoX': Something like this happened to the debian servers recently, I'm told.
[06:14] <Cyball> wayward: yes i want to stop it
[06:14] <profoX`> goatmale: pirhinjas ! ninja fishes
[06:14] <wayward> fredl: actually X loads whatever it finds under libGL.so
[06:14] <goatmale> haha
[06:14] <trev__> ok, mabey it me or are all the repositories down today?
[06:14] <OoberMick> GlassCasket: you need to fix the mbr now
[06:14] <wayward> Cyball: what about Ctrl-C? :)
[06:14] <_rp> lol
[06:14] <fredl> wayward: Hmm, indeed. glxgears works... VERY slow framerate though indeed.
[06:14] <frogzoo> GlassCasket: nope, without a boot loader in your mbr, the puter won't boot, no
[06:14] <Cyball> wayward: Ctrl+C does not work
[06:14] <eric___> profoX': I keep getting booted from IRC.  Is this part of the problem?
[06:14] <mziesack> hi, are the repos down?
[06:14] <_rp> read el topico stupido
[06:14] <Warbo> rmjb: To display user icons either use a theme with a user selection window (I think "happy gnome" has one) or turn of the themed login and use the one with a "face browser"
[06:14] <Stormx2> Seveas: haha nice
[06:14] <Enverex> hmm, seems GDM is locked down on Ubuntu, you can't set auto-login or the theme or anything...
[06:14] <trev__> they are for me
[06:14] <GlassCasket> frogzoo: Ok. Because I installed Ubuntu 5.10 before and put grub in the mbr and it worked fine.
[06:15] <gnomefreak> eric___: stop with the offtopic talk and you wont get removed
[06:15] <rmjb> Thanks again Warbo!
[06:15] <eric___> gnomefreak: Got it.
[06:15] <OoberMick> GlassCasket: Look at /boot/grub/device.map change it so that the devices are correct. Reinstall grub
[06:15] <profoX`> Seveas: what i do what i do..
[06:15] <Seveas> Enverex, system  admin  login screen
[06:15] <eric___> gnomefreak: Is KDE on or off topic?
[06:15] <zalmoxes> i was messing around with the my xfce panel settings when it dissappeared. didnt appear when i restarted my com either how do i get it back?
[06:15] <n0dl> the reason why the forums are down as well as ubuntu website is because canonical cut the power to their servers
[06:15] <GlassCasket> OoberMick: So I'd have to boot with the live CD and check, right?
[06:15] <jackson> hey I just installed the newest 1.0-8762 nvidia drivers and when I try to gdm start it tells me that the X module version is 8756 but it's trying to load 8762. how do I update the x module?
[06:15] <n0dl> please await further updates
[06:15] <jrib> Cyball: why can't you use the kill command?  ctrl-\ sends QUIT usually by the way
[06:15] <wayward> Cyball: so it's not a console app
[06:15] <n0dl> thank you:)
[06:15] <gnomefreak> eric___: depends on if it is support related
[06:15] <Enverex> Seveas, lol, I never clicked that as I thought it GAVE me a login window (which I admit I thought was odd) I didn't realise it was the setup
[06:15] <eric___> I got a kubuntu question - is this room OK or do I need to go a kubuntu room?
[06:15] <OoberMick> GlassCasket: yeah
[06:16] <meheren> err darn... I came in here to ask when the resporsirity and the wiki would be back up but it says DO NOT ASK....
[06:16] <Warbo> jackson: Make sure you COMPLETELY remove an older version before installing a newer version
[06:16] <Seveas> eric___, you can try here or #kubuntu
[06:16] <regeya> eric___: just to throw in my 0.02...you might have better luck in #kubuntu
[06:16] <rmjb> so how do I reserve my username on freenode?
[06:16] <frogzoo> GlassCasket: it's possible to boot with what you've got - it's just grub's looking for the boot partition in the wrong place
[06:16] <eric___> Seveas, regeya: thanks.
[06:16] <jackson> Warbo: should I do something besides nvidia-installer --uninstall?
[06:16] <Seveas> !register > rmjb
[06:16] <gnomefreak> rmjb: register it
[06:16] <fredl> Hmm, I'm going to restart my system with the 2.6.15-23 kernel and linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-23 and see what happens then...
[06:16] <Warbo> jackson: Why don't you use the packages in Ubuntu?
[06:16] <profoX`> Seveas: can't handle a joke eh ?
[06:16] <GlassCasket> frogzoo: So how can I boot with what I've got?
[06:16] <trev__> does anyone know why all the repos are down?
[06:16] <wayward> fredl: good luck.  I have that setup on AMD64 and it works
[06:16] <jrib> trev__: /topic
[06:16] <Mempf> its not jsut the repos
[06:16] <gnomefreak> profoX`: jokes go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:16] <ttyfscker> can i ask what exactly is the deal with the servers without getting kicked?
[06:16] <jackson> Warbo: those don't work either. probably because I'm not uninstalling it correctly like you said
[06:16] <Hexidigital> trev__: read the topic
[06:16] <Mempf> everything is down
[06:17] <Cyball> jrib: because the console is free it does not freeze after starting the prog
[06:17] <GlassCasket> OoberMick: What am I suppose to do with device.map exactly?
[06:17] <regeya> wow, people do NOT read the /topic, do they
[06:17] <frogzoo> GlassCasket: there's instruction about the web, just google, you'll find a half dozen howtos
[06:17] <Warbo> jackson: Yes, uninstall with the --uninstall, then don't use the Nvidia provided archives
[06:17] <braddock> Is there a repo mirror I can use directly?
[06:17] <GlassCasket> frogzoo: Ok.
[06:17] <gnomefreak> braddock: no
[06:17] <braddock> 'k.  thanks.
[06:17] <jrib> Cyball: you can still use kill with the process's pid though, can't you?
[06:17] <kbrooks> braddock: i use nl AND it works
[06:18] <jrib> Cyball: or killall with the name of the process?
[06:18] <kbrooks> is this the first time EVER that ubuntu has been completely down?
[06:18] <isonice> hi, just a little question... it's very easy to burn files/music to a CD under ubuntu, but how about burning an ISO image...?
[06:18] <wayward> isonice: even easier
[06:18] <Alan_De_Smet> /trev
[06:18] <Cyball> jrib: kill works but it does not give me the feedback before ending
[06:18] <MarcN> isonice: right click on an .iso in nautilus
[06:18] <Seveas> isonice, rightclick on it and select burn
[06:18] <MarcN> Seveas: jinx
[06:18] <jrib> Cyball: ok, I don't understand exactly what you want to do then.  I though you just wanted to kill it
[06:19] <GlassCasket> OoberMick: So I have to check device.map and look at which device is first in the list. Then do 'grub-install(hd*)', where * is the first device in device.map?
[06:19] <Warbo> isonice: You may need an extension to Nautilus if the option is not there
[06:19] <kaled> who shot the *all* servers down?
[06:19] <isonice> my goodness! there it is! :D perhaps it was too easy for me to even think about it...
[06:19] <wayward> isonice: you can also drag-and-drop the image into CD Creator window.  Hit Burn and it will ask you if you want to burn the image.
[06:19] <Cyball> jrib: it should give me an ouptut like ... server is going down ...
[06:20] <amadeo1988> back again
[06:20] <wayward> isonice: just make sure you don't drag-drop more than that one file.
[06:20] <OoberMick> GlassCasket: yes but make sure that it agrees with what you expect
[06:20] <GlassCasket> OoberMick: And what exactly do I expect? lol
[06:20] <wayward> remember, Ubuntu has no responsibility for the content of .ISO image :D
[06:20] <isonice> wayward: now that's a cool feature too, burning an ISO as a file happened to me more than once
[06:20] <amadeo1988> i was wandering is there a way i can view my ubuntu linux partition and read or copy files to my ntfs paritions from windowsxp ? i don't wanna write just read and copy files from it too ntfs or even fat32
[06:21] <wayward> isonice, I know exactly what you're talking about
[06:21] <Seveas> !ntfs > amadeo1988
[06:21] <Warbo> !explore2fs
[06:21] <goonies> theres supposedly is some driver out now that has been tested as safe for writing and deleting to ntfs partitions
[06:21] <ubotu> I know nothing about explore2fs - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[06:21] <jrib> Cyball: I see now.  So your program isn't sending the output to the terminal
[06:21] <isonice> LoL! I guess it's okay since I'm trying to burn ubuntu ISO itself
[06:21] <Cyball> jrib: yes
[06:21] <wayward> isonice: we should patch CD Creator to show a little smiley when it sees Ubuntu being burnt. :)
[06:22] <OoberMick> GlassCasket: Thats a good question ;) You want it to agree with your bios I'm not exactly sure
[06:22] <Cyball> jrib: could be that i used the wrong singnal name for that SIGTERM is it right ???
[06:22] <GlassCasket> OoberMick: Oh ok, so then device.map should be in the same order as my BIOS. Thanks man. :)
[06:23] <wayward> Cyball: *kill commands take -15, -TERM, -SIGTERM
[06:23] <fredl> ok so I'm now in 2.6.15-23 and have the 2.6.15-23 linux-restricted-drivers installed. So far no sign of screen trashing and fglrxinfo says that OpenGL vendor strings is ATI Technologies Inc.
[06:23] <wayward> Cyball: whichever you prefer
[06:23] <omac> It would be cool to see ubuntu modify apt to become a peer-to-peer repository to fix this problem. Imagine the bandwidth.  Sure there would be the mirrors which act like permanent seeds but when they go down like the security.ubuntu.com did, it would be nice to see the leeching peers become the backup for the peer to peer repository.  What do you think?
[06:23] <wayward> fredl: kudos
[06:23] <Cyball> wayward: THX
[06:23] <isonice> wayward: lol yeah why not :) thanks for answering, have a nice day...
[06:24] <wayward> isonice: same to you :)
[06:24] <Enverex> What's the command for uploading to REVU?
[06:24] <kitsuneofdoom> omac: that is actually a good idea. Ubuntu, the Bittorrent distro
[06:24] <Seveas> omac, people are actually working on that
[06:24] <fredl> wayward: promising... lemme see if I can also run fgl_glxgears, if I don't say anything soon you know I can't :P
[06:24] <wayward> fredl: hope we don't see you (Leaving: ...)
[06:24] <omac> apt-torrent :)
[06:24] <fredl> wayward: running at 1051 FPS
[06:24] <wayward> fredl: whee
[06:24] <amadeo1988> That link didnt answer my questions
[06:24] <zsh> omac: wouldnt that make ubuntu unsecure
[06:25] <fredl> that's pretty fast I think :P
[06:25] <Seveas> zsh, not if the gpg/md5 checks are kept
[06:25] <wayward> apt-mule
[06:25] <gnomefreak> how did you know that he was pming me lol
[06:25] <Seveas> gnomefreak, telepathy ;)
[06:25] <Enverex> zsh, not with MD5's and keys
[06:25] <PingunZ> is www.ubuntu.com and www.ubuntuforums.org also down there ?
[06:25] <kitsuneofdoom> zsh: md5 is a little outdated.
[06:25] <gnomefreak> ;)
[06:25] <_rp> or ircop ;)
[06:25] <kitsuneofdoom> eep
[06:25] <omac> no because the signatures are embedded into each package.  Any tampering renders the package invalid for the install.
[06:25] <gnomefreak> PingunZ: everything is down
[06:25] <kitsuneofdoom> that meant to go to omac
[06:25] <PingunZ> ty gnomefreak :) I was very worried ;)
[06:25] <zsh> ok. hadnt thot of that
[06:26] <moebius_> all bittorrent downloads are already checked against hashes in the torrent file
[06:26] <kitsuneofdoom> however, md5 is getting insecure
[06:26] <braddock> Seveas: scary to think that every ubuntu system in the world could then be hacked if that one master cert is compromised though...but that is a problem with live updates anyway.
[06:26] <kitsuneofdoom> people will be able to cause md5 collisons soon
[06:26] <moebius_> bt verifies each chunk of the file as it receives it
[06:26] <Seveas> braddock, true
[06:26] <zsh> kitsuneofdoom, how so?
[06:27] <kitsuneofdoom> I read it on slashdot like half a year ago, that someone generated a program to cause md5 collisions or something
[06:27] <moebius_> zsh - md5 is a hash function
[06:27] <moebius_> the nature of a hash is it maps numbers from a very large set to a smaller set
[06:27] <wayward> md5 collisions?
[06:27] <Seveas> kitsuneofdoom, far too theoretical to be useful yet
[06:27] <kitsuneofdoom> Oh, good
[06:27] <Seveas> and collisions aren't suitable for attacking archives
[06:27] <Seveas> and this is all very offtopic in here 
[06:27] <asdfgghhjj> I just installed 6.06 and the crash of servers broke down the update in half... whah
[06:27] <wayward> I read in Science that AES is flawed. :D
[06:28] <moebius_> so it follows that for any hash value there's more than one value that maps to it by the hash function
[06:28] <yamla> asdfgghhjj, same problem here.  :)
[06:28] <kitsuneofdoom> asdfgghhjj: Sorry, the repositories are down
[06:28] <zsh> moebius_, i thot a different md5 is always generated for different files
[06:28] <wayward> still nobody is worried
[06:28] <kitsuneofdoom> oh yeah
[06:28] <zsh> moebius_, how would they collide
[06:28] <gnomefreak> READ THE /TOPIC PEOPLE
[06:28] <abeco> Hello, I have recently bought a MP4 that can reproduce videos, but I haven't found any program in ubuntu to transcode any video to .amv format. Do you know about any program?
[06:28] <Seveas> !offtopic > zsh
[06:28] <fredl> wayward: Hmm, too soon. fgl_glxgears locked up X after about 20 seconds running.
[06:28] <Seveas> abeco, no.
[06:28] <Seveas> mp4 is patent encumbered
[06:28] <wayward> fredl: :/
[06:28] <kitsuneofdoom> I think I'm going to switch to Wingdows to play some games
[06:28] <Commander-Crowe> I LOVE XFCE!!!!
[06:28] <Seveas> !caps
[06:29] <abeco> in spain the are no software patents
[06:29] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[06:29] <Hexidigital> !topic
[06:29] <ubotu> I know nothing about topic - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[06:29] <Enverex> abeco, avidemux
[06:29] <wayward> fredl: your bst bet is to wait until the forums get back up and search
[06:29] <zsh> Seveas, ok.
[06:29] <AngryElf> is us.archive.ubuntu.com down?
[06:29] <Warbo> abeco: amv?
[06:29] <abeco> Enverex thanks
[06:29] <Commander-Crowe> AngryElf: yes
[06:29] <asdfgghhjj> well, I have a newbie question (please don't shoot me): I can't apt-get, so how can I install MPlayer?
[06:29] <rsk> angystardust: topic
[06:29] <bobbyd> abeco: mencoder
[06:29] <wayward> fredl: sorry for not being of great assistance
[06:29] <fredl> wayward: does ubuntu also have a bugtracking system?
[06:29] <rsk> doh
[06:29] <abeco> Warbo yes .amv
[06:29] <Hexidigital> asdfgghhjj: read the topic
[06:29] <Enverex> asdfgghhjj, By waiting, heh
[06:29] <abeco> mencoder doesnt work
[06:29] <wayward> fredl: yeah, in launchpad
[06:29] <rsk> fredl: yes launcpad
[06:29] <Warbo> abeco: Never heard of that
[06:29] <Seveas> asdfgghhjj, waut for the repos to come back up and use apt-get after that
[06:29] <moebius_> zsh - a md5 value is 128 bits.  which means there are 2^128 possible values. which is a lot.  But the .deb files that are hashed are each waaaay bigger than 128 bits
[06:29] <TheCan> hi! It seems security.ubuntu.com is down :( is there any mirror?
[06:29] <nry> hola
[06:30] <abeco> Warbo I haven't heard about it too
[06:30] <fredl> wayward: no problem, I find it convenient to talk and often I talk myself towards some sort of solution :P
[06:30] <Seveas> TheCan, just be patient...
[06:30] <HedgeMage> asdfgghhjj: wait unil things are back together, unfortunately.  Unless, of course, someone you know and trust already has it and can send you the packages, and it's urgent enough to go through all the trouble ;)
[06:30] <Enverex> abeco, run "file" against one of those files and see what it says, i.e. "file blah.amv"
[06:30] <wayward> fredl: hehe
[06:30] <nry> are the ubuntu servers up?
[06:30] <moebius_> zsh - so there can't be a unique md5 value for every possible .deb binary file
[06:30] <Seveas> nry, no
[06:30] <Seveas> AngryElf, please leave running this channel to the operators
[06:30] <fredl> so where is this 'launchpad' ?
[06:31] <omac> #deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security main restricted
[06:31] <omac> deb http://ubuntu.rucus.ru.ac.za/ubuntu/ dapper-security main restricted
[06:31] <omac> #deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security main restricted
[06:31] <omac> deb-src http://ubuntu.rucus.ru.ac.za/ubuntu/ dapper-security main restricted
[06:31] <omac>   #deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security universe multiverse
[06:31] <omac> deb http://ubuntu.rucus.ru.ac.za/ubuntu/ dapper-security universe multiverse
[06:31] <Seveas> fredl, launchpad.net (currently also down)
[06:31] <abeco> Enverex one minute
[06:31] <omac> #deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security universe multiverse
[06:31] <moebius_> zsh - so it follows that for a given md5 value, there's more than one input value (possible .deb file) that could map to it
[06:31] <asdfgghhjj> HedgeMage, thanks. Fortunately, it's not urgent :)
[06:31] <Warbo> zsh: If hashes were unique then they wouldn't be hashes, they would be lossless compression
[06:31] <moebius_> zsh - now the security of md5 is that it's easy to go from .deb => md5 but there's no easy way to go to md5 => .deb
[06:31] <fredl> oh okay Seveas.
[06:31] <Commander-Crowe> uk.archives isn't working anymore either
[06:31] <Seveas> omac, don't flood.
[06:31] <wayward> zsh: there is NO way to go back from md5 :)
[06:31] <gnomefreak> omac: all servers are down and dont paste thank you
[06:31] <Enverex> Commander-Crowe, It wasn't in the first place
[06:31] <omac> sorry Seveas.
[06:32] <pekay> what archives is working?
[06:32] <rmjb> au.archive.ubuntu.com is still up as a respository
[06:32] <nry> Seveas, what's the problem?
[06:32] <Commander-Crowe> Enverax: I was using it about half hour ago
[06:32] <HedgeMage> asdfgghhjj: :)
[06:32] <Commander-Crowe> Enverex: I was using it about half hour ago
[06:32] <abeco> jose@serhost:/mnt/sda1$ file Equilibrium.amv
[06:32] <abeco> Equilibrium.amv: RIFF (little-endian) data
[06:32] <fredl> nl.archive.ubuntu.com is up...
[06:32] <ubuntufan> oh man, just when i format my hard drive things go offline :/
[06:32] <Warbo> abeco: Isn't RIFF an audio format?
[06:33] <moebius_> zsh - it is possible to create a file that has the same md5 by brute force algorithms but it's very slow
[06:33] <omac> use the above .za dapper security repository.  It works.  the non-security stuff works from be.archive, en.archive, ca.archive.
[06:33] <abeco> don't know... I only understand little endian
[06:33] <yamla> ca.archive didn't work for me.
[06:33] <Enverex> Warbo, Yeah
[06:33] <Seveas> omac, don't encourage people to switch. that's just moving the problem around
[06:33] <Seveas> PATIENCE is the key here
[06:33] <Enverex> RIFF is Raw AIFF format
[06:33] <Sepheebear> didnt somebody come up with an app before to find the closest working mirrors?
[06:33] <Warbo> Just that MP4 is usually video
[06:34] <jtshaw> mirrorselect
[06:34] <rmjb> Oh, the servers are flooded then... okay then don't switch to what I posted above
[06:34] <Sepheebear> jtshaw: ah that's it
[06:34] <fredl> haha so apt-get install mirrorselect ;-)
[06:34] <Commander-Crowe> uk.archives went down because to many people used it
[06:35] <wayward> moebius_: that's an interesting idea; someone putting malicious code into a .deb, then adding dummy file with nonsense data just to make it compute to the original MD5 after zipping
[06:35] <rmjb> wow, ubuntu is out growing itself
[06:35] <rmjb> that 10mill from Mark will get used in bandwidth costs!
[06:35] <fredl> wayward: that's real hard to do, one of the characteristics of MD5
[06:35] <Seveas> !offtopic > rmjb
[06:35] <wayward> moebius_: never thought of that, but sure is possible, even ifonly in theory :)
[06:35] <moebius_> yep
[06:35] <Sepheebear> i already have a bunch of mirrors listed in a file just for this kind of situation
[06:35] <chowells2> wayward: yes, do you realise how hard it would be to do?
[06:35] <Sepheebear> i think i got it off of packages.ubuntu.com
[06:35] <wayward> sure
[06:35] <rmjb> sorry, new
[06:35] <moebius_> all hash functions are vulnerable to collisions
[06:36] <moebius_> it's just an issue of how hard it is to generate them
[06:36] <Seveas> !offtopic > moebius_
[06:36] <ubuntufan> Seveas: sorry to ask , but do you have some idea when it's getting back online?
[06:36] <moebius_> alright, end of that discussion :)
[06:36] <gnomefreak> never
[06:36] <Seveas> ubuntufan, no.
[06:36] <gnomefreak> ;)
[06:36] <fredl> well somebody did show some vulnerabilities in the MD5 algorithm a while ago so it is possible
[06:36] <omac> Please keep in mind the za archive above is in a university in South Africa(country of birth of ubuntu).  The security repository is necessary to avoid silly errors in aptitude. the non-security stuff works fine on many country archives.  I tried ca.archive, en.archive, be.archive and had no problems. for the non-security stuff.
[06:36] <wayward> hash discussion has been hashed.
[06:36] <gnomefreak> hes getting tiring
[06:36] <pekay>   Could not resolve au.security.ubuntu.com
[06:37] <pekay> is there a working security repository?
[06:37] <gnomefreak> omac: drop it
[06:37] <goatmale> pekay read the topic
[06:37] <Seveas> pekay, be PATIENT
[06:37] <omac> ok ok :) I'll stop.
[06:37] <pekay> i know.. ;p
[06:37] <Seveas> it'll come back
[06:37] <rmjb> I couldn't get security from au
[06:37] <fredl> could not resolve huh? Hmmm.
[06:37] <nry> Hey ppl, I'm so sad....I can't upgrade now!!
[06:37] <pekay> i thought there'd be an austrailian security repository thing :p
[06:37] <gnomefreak> rmjb: comment security repos out if you are gonna try to work around it
[06:37] <fredl> should au.security.ubuntu.com exist in DNS?
[06:37] <P4W3R> hello
[06:37] <Seveas> Fredl no
[06:38] <pekay> fredl: im only guessing.
[06:38] <pekay> ...
[06:38] <fredl> ok.
[06:38] <RedGhost> xchat isnt saving my display settings, anyone know how to fix this/
[06:38] <Dave2> UK Mirror Service ( http://www.mirrorservice.org/ ) appears to have -security, though I've not actually tried it
[06:38] <Sepheebear> mirror.isp.net.au/ftp/pub/ubuntu seems to be up and working
[06:38] <A[D] minS> Seveas: so which is exist to use now ?
[06:38] <Seveas> A[D] minS, be patient
[06:38] <P4W3R> i was going to ask about ubuntu servers
[06:38] <rmjb> I'm getting stuff still from synaptic so it's no biggy
[06:38] <Warbo> I was suprised at seeing over 900 people in the room, but since there is very little support going on it looks like they're mostly to do with apt mirrors
[06:38] <P4W3R> ^^
[06:38] <rmjb> I didn't switch to au, that's what was installed for me
[06:39] <P4W3R> which server runs, i need to low-level format a hard disk?
[06:39] <P4W3R> which server runs?, i need to low-level format a hard disk
[06:39] <Warbo> !repeat
[06:39] <ubotu> Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly, if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[06:39] <techrush> are te ubuntu forums down ?
[06:39] <techrush> o ok
[06:39] <techrush> sorry topic....
[06:39] <phuzz> whats the name of the ubuntu that comes with xfce right off the bat?
[06:39] <P4W3R> i do not feel ignored
[06:40] <Kamping_Kaiser> no
[06:40] <Warbo> xubuntu

[06:40] <Kamping_Kaiser> er sorry - random no
[06:40] <fredl> Seveas - any place where we can look at the status of service downage without asking on here?
[06:40] <P4W3R> QUESTION: what should I use to low-level format a harddisk?
[06:40] <lophyte> anyone know if the repo servers are down?
[06:40] <pekay> read topic
[06:40] <rOss^FX> yes read the TOPIC
[06:41] <Seveas> fredl, just try to connect
[06:41] <fredl> lophyte - yes.
[06:41] <P4W3R> good bless the irc
[06:41] <abeco> excuse me, but the person who has recomended me avidemux, can transcode into mp4, but what I need is to transcode it to .amv format
[06:41] <P4W3R> XD
[06:41] <paiiiiii> Hi, does anyone know how i can get my regular ethernet to work? Its an "Agere Systems" card and 'lspci' shows: "Ethernet controller: Agere systems: Unknown device ed01"
[06:41] <wayward> P4W3R: you normally shouldn't
[06:41] <_TomTom_> P4W3R, depends on your hard disk, go to website constructor, may there is an apps
[06:42] <interfear> US still down eh
[06:42] <redcard> Most drives haven't supported/done low level in a long time.
[06:42] <Warbo> fredl: "for (;1;) ; do sudo apt-get update && sleep 180 ; done" That will check every three minutes :)
[06:42] <P4W3R> linux app ...
[06:42] <wayward> P4W3R: first place to start looking would be your BIOS software
[06:42] <Seveas> Warbo, heh 
[06:42] <redcard> Most drive manufactuerers have a tool to do it.. but they don't recommend it
[06:42] <wayward> or am I too 90s
[06:42] <narfnastier> Warbo, that should be "for ((;;) ..."
[06:42] <P4W3R> is a macintosh disk
[06:43] <P4W3R> maybe i should use apple utility
[06:43] <redcard> P4W3R: Why do you need to low level it?
[06:43] <minerale> Hello, what is going on at canonical ?
[06:43] <fredl> Warbo: not a great idea :) Anyway, only thing I'd like to know for sure is whether this is a security related issue and if any of the repositories have been penetrated.
[06:43] <P4W3R> bad blocks
[06:43] <abeco> do you know a program that can transcode a .avi into an .amv one?
[06:43] <redcard> Ugh.
[06:43] <tyr`> how do i register a channel on this server?
[06:43] <Warbo> !info transcode
[06:43] <ubotu> transcode: Utility to encode raw video/audio streams. In repository multiverse, is extra. Version 2:1.0.2-0.0ubuntu2 (dapper), package size 14123 kB, installed size 42172 kB
[06:43] <wayward> P4W3R, make sure you have specified the correct geometry.  Some drives will report bad sectors if the geometry isn't set right in BIOS.
[06:43] <P4W3R> no bios
[06:43] <elkbuntu> minerale, read the topic. do /topic to see it again
[06:43] <Shish> .amv o_O
[06:43] <Warbo> Maybe
[06:43] <lophyte> oh, sorry guys.. I didn't see the topic
[06:43] <P4W3R> macintosh
[06:43] <apokryphos> tyr`: /msg chanserv help register
[06:43] <profoX`> tyr`: /chanserv register help
[06:43] <redcard> Low levelling won't fix bad blocks.  The modern OS's and Bios will mark the sectors as bad.
[06:43] <profoX`> help register..
[06:43] <tyr`> thanks
[06:44] <profoX`> what apokryphos said
[06:44] <redcard> If it's giving you a lot of errors, you might as well give up on the drive and save the data
[06:44] <P4W3R> that process fixed the problem
[06:44] <fredl> ick my screen is really trashing right now...
[06:44] <P4W3R> i used apple utility
[06:44] <P4W3R> it takes about 6 hour
[06:44] <yamla> Sometimes something like spinrite (commercial software, but a reasonable price) can help with hard drives.
[06:44] <P4W3R> 6 hours to complete
[06:44] <zazeem> how can i move my game icons into a different menu on ubuntu? i made sub categories in my game folder and dont know how to move them
[06:44] <gnomefreak> brb
[06:44] <redcard> P4W3R: That likely isn't fixing things, though.
[06:44] <Seveas> zazeem, try alacarte
[06:44] <Warbo> zazeem: Alacarte
[06:44] <redcard> Just make certain you have backups.
[06:44] <yanis> is ubuntu.com offline?
[06:45] <nathan> title answered my question, I just changed http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu to http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu for now
[06:45] <minerale> elkbuntu: yeah, I see it's down, but why? what's going on?
[06:45] <elkbuntu> minerale, your guess is as good as that of anyone here.
[06:45] <zazeem> warbo: i tried alecarte but i cant move files into other folders
[06:45] <P4W3R> form year to year the problem happens again
[06:45] <P4W3R> is the disk
[06:45] <tyr`> how do i get opped in a channel i registered?
[06:45] <zazeem> saveas: i tried alecarte but i cant move files into other folders
[06:45] <cello_rasp> i thought ubuntuforums were on a separate server
[06:45] <redcard> P4W3R: Then it sounds like the disk is going to fail on you.
[06:45] <Warbo> zazeem: I think it is possible to drag 'n' drop. If not you can manually add them to one and remove from another
[06:46] <Seveas> tyr`, irc help in ##help
[06:46] <minerale> elkbuntu: are the ubuntu servers in south africa ?
[06:46] <elkbuntu> tyr`, this is sooo not the right room for that question.
[06:46] <ardchoille> zazeem: I was told that this is a limitation of the manu standard that gnome is using.
[06:46] <Enverex> cello_rasp, It's a DNS issue afaik
[06:46] <apokryphos> tyr`: /msg ubotu freenode
[06:46] <P4W3R> redcard: yeah i know
[06:46] <Seveas> cello_rasp, not since earlier this year
[06:46] <zazeem> o :/
[06:46] <elkbuntu> minerale, i have no idea where they are
[06:46] <P4W3R> redcard: has 5 years
[06:46] <zazeem> is there any way to combine the three menus at the bottom into one menu?
[06:46] <zazeem> aplications places system all into one?
[06:47] <Seveas> zazeem, add the alternative menu applet to your panel
[06:47] <ardchoille> zazeem: This is why I switched window managers in gnome, I can change the menu system around the way I want it ;)
[06:47] <sertinell> hi
[06:47] <P4W3R> if i format in hfs or dos, some tools get rid of the bad blocks,
[06:47] <redcard> P4W3R: It doesn't get rid of the bad blocks.
[06:47] <Callahad> I'd like to export my home across campus. I'll mainly be using macs, but will want to access it from a PC on occasion. How can I decide between netatalk/samba, nfs/samba, or just samba? I've only briefly worked with nfs, and such sharing still seems to be a bit of black magic to me.
[06:47] <P4W3R> ignore them
[06:47] <P4W3R> or something
[06:47] <redcard> You're not listening.  It marks them as bad.  The OS just goes over it.
[06:47] <nathan> is there a place to get a list of official mirrors?
[06:47] <Seveas> redcard, bad blocks means you have to buy a new disk
[06:47] <P4W3R> but if i format in ext or reiser
[06:47] <khoda> so i just installed from the alternate cd, and when i boot my computer makes like 5 beeps
[06:47] <sertinell> Wath gcc-flags are used in ubuntu-ppc ??
[06:47] <Seveas> nathan, yes, but that place is also down
[06:48] <Seveas> !archvie
[06:48] <ruoho> but u cant change the security repo. theres only 1 afaik
[06:48] <P4W3R> the bad blocks are there
[06:48] <ubotu> I know nothing about archvie - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[06:48] <Seveas> !archive
[06:48] <ubotu> I know nothing about archive - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[06:48] <GG_Allin> has anyone managed to get the intel pro wireless 3945 card to work in Ubuntu?  mine doesn't seem to get an IP address from my DHCP server, even though I enabled DHCP, etc.
[06:48] <Seveas> meh
[06:48] <apokryphos> nathan: /msg ubotu mirrors
[06:48] <Warbo> khoda: Do the POST messages come up?
[06:48] <mimithebrain> if there other mirrors that ubuntu supports that I can use
[06:48] <mimithebrain> oh...
[06:48] <jbholman> callahad: i've found that sshfs is easiest
[06:48] <redcard> The symptom you are describing is a hardware failure.    You might mitigate it by ignoring the blocks, but you will eventually lose the drive.
[06:48] <khoda> so i just installed from the alternate cd, and when i boot my computer makes like 5 beeps and nothing else happens
[06:48] <apokryphos> mimithebrain: /msg ubotu mirrors
[06:48] <Seveas> mimithebrain, just be patient
[06:48] <omac> Callahad: try not using netatalk and samba.  try ssh, scp...you connect and get the files and you are in and out.
[06:48] <nry> I have a SCSI HDD with bas blocks, any Idea to restore them
[06:48] <Seveas> nry, buy a new disk
[06:48] <redcard> I gotta go get some lunch, but if you're looking for a tool like what apple's does, we don't have such a tool.  Most bios oes it.
[06:49] <Seveas> bad blocks tend to spread like the plague
[06:49] <Warbo> khoda: Sound like a harware problem. Check your RAM, drives and stuff are inserted right
[06:49] <Callahad> jbholman: I don't believe FUSE or sshfs work on macs. Please correct me if I'm wrong
[06:49] <abeco> Warbo do you know about other program to transform into .amv?
[06:49] <Enverex> P4W3R, If it's a drive made in the last 6 years and you're seeing bad blocks, that means it's about to die. The drive hides bad blocks using reserved space initially, transparent to the PC itself. If you start seeing them it means there are a LOT.
[06:49] <nry> Seveas, nice answer man
[06:49] <sertinell> Wath gcc-flags are used in ubuntu-ppc ??
[06:49] <mimithebrain> Seveas: sorry, it wasn't me that posted the original question, I just expanded it ;)
[06:49] <khoda> Warbo: I just installed, rebooted. used grub to get into windows. rebooted windows. then this happened. i didn't change anything
[06:49] <jbholman> callahad: i actually have no clue about macs, i failed to see that in your question.  sry.
[06:49] <definity> wait!
[06:49] <ubuntufan> Seveas: if i may ask, why is it down?
[06:49] <EvanCarroll> Is there a site where they have a tech status servers etc?
[06:49] <Callahad> omac: That's what I've been doing, however, I'd like to be able to let Vim and other local tools run amok in my remote home.
[06:50] <Warbo> abeco: The only transcoding programs are avidemux, transcode, ffmpeg (and ffmpeg2theora), VLC and mencoder
[06:50] <Seveas> ubuntufan, I don't know that
[06:50] <java> guys, ubuntu.com is out?
[06:50] <Warbo> abeco: I mean that I know of
[06:50] <definity> how can i get infrared working on ubuntu
[06:50] <geekdom> Hey, I ubuntu newby and need to add packages such as VNC to my ubuntu.   I know to install it is apt-get install xxxx.   What I need to know is how to see what the name of the packages are for ubuntu.   Aptatude just confused me and is there a better tool and how do I use it ?
[06:50] <Enverex> Proprietory formats = Ball suckage
[06:50] <P4W3R> Enverex: ohh that is the reason
[06:50] <Callahad> jbholman: Thanks for the suggestion, anywho, I've been pretty psyched about FUSE - just wish it wasn't locked to linux :)
[06:50] <Warbo> !language
[06:50] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[06:50] <khoda> Warbo: I just installed, rebooted. used grub to get into windows. rebooted windows. then this happened. i didn't change anything
[06:50] <Seveas> geekdom, system  admin  synaptic or applications  add/remove
[06:50] <P4W3R>  Enverex: maybe i should trash it
[06:50] <abeco> Warbo and any idea about what hell is RIFF (little-endian) data ?
[06:51] <Enverex> Warbo, No sucking of tennis balls or ping-pong balls?
[06:51] <Warbo> abeco: music, Raw audio
[06:51] <P4W3R>  Enverex: better than lose valuable data
[06:51] <jbholman> callahad: so macs do nfs?
[06:51] <mimithebrain> geekdom: you may not get anything from the repository right now...
[06:51] <abeco> Warbo but is a video...
[06:51] <_atomic> sup
[06:51] <Frizz0> hello
[06:51] <Warbo> abeco: Probably got detected wrong
[06:51] <Thirsteh> If I wanted to DNS redirect incoming connections on a certain host on one machine, directly to another machine (including what port number), would I be using, "A", "CNAME", "Web-forward", or "Web-alias"? (Basically what DynDNS does)
[06:51] <Callahad> jbholman: Since OS X 10.3, I believe.
[06:51] <Seveas> Thirsteh, dns doesn't redirect incoming connections
[06:51] <gzurl> hi guys! can anybody update to security.ubuntu.com at the moment???
[06:51] <khoda> I just installed from the alternate cd. rebooted. got into windows through grub. rebooted in windows aand then my computer made 5 beeps on the reboot and nothing else happened. Whats going on?
[06:51] <Warbo> abeco: Try one of those "file extension" sites that tell you what loads of letter combinations are supposed to represent
[06:52] <HiP_P> hows the ubuntu servers going?
[06:52] <wayward> jbholman, Callahad: I can confirm that 10.3 has NFS
[06:52] <_atomic> I'll find out
[06:52] <mimithebrain> gzurl: reps are down
[06:52] <abeco> Warbo any idea on where can i found more information?
[06:52] <jbholman> callahad: i'm guessing the main problems for you could be firewalls
[06:52] <Callahad> jbholman: As far as I know, Macs natively support NFS, AFP, FTP, WebDAV, and CIFS
[06:52] <Thirsteh> Seveas?
[06:52] <narfnastier> khoda, double check your hardware connections (keyboard, mouse, etc.)
[06:52] <omac> Callahad:rdesktop and terminal server client are available they have something to do with vnc.
[06:52] <khoda> narfnastier: i didn't change anything, though :\
[06:52] <doctormo> are the servers still not up? *sigh*
[06:52] <Callahad> omac: That's something I hadn't thought about. I'll look into it! Thanks!
[06:52] <narfnastier> khoda, the BIOS beeping means that something in hardware has failed
[06:53] <Callahad> jbholman: I'm on a college campus with a pretty liberal access policies, and a ClassB network block heavily guarded from non-academic users. Within the block, I won't have any trouble passing packets.
[06:53] <khoda> narfnastier: just checked and rebooted. same problem - what now?
[06:53] <abeco> well I will continue looking for something, thanks for the help Warbo
[06:53] <HiP_P> ok
[06:53] <omac> gzurl:#deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security main restricted
[06:53] <omac> deb http://ubuntu.rucus.ru.ac.za/ubuntu/ dapper-security main restricted

[06:54] <jbholman> callahad: hey not bad, i have enought problems within my own house with firewalls!
[06:54] <The> yo
[06:54] <narfnastier> khoda, you may need professional tech support
[06:54] <Thirsteh> Seveas, feel free to tell me what DNS does then.
[06:54] <P4W3R> thanks
[06:54] <Protostar> sup all
[06:54] <Callahad> jbholman: I can't wait to move out into the real world and not be able to ssh into myuserid-x.res.carleton.edu from anywhere :(
[06:55] <geekdom> This did not seem to have any packages:   system  admin  synaptic or applications  add/remove
[06:55] <Seveas> Thirsteh, it resoves names into numbers
[06:55] <geekdom> Is there a command line ?
[06:55] <khoda> narfnastier: that's so strange. I had just gotten into windows, everything worked fine. i rebooted and got the beeps
[06:55] <Skaag> Thirsteh: it's a special coffee machine
[06:55] <mimithebrain> geekdom: apt-get install xxx
[06:55] <narfnastier> khoda, hardware always fails unexpectedly
[06:55] <jbholman> callahad: yeah.......get ready, no more static ip for probably the rest of your life
[06:55] <Skaag> geekdom: it's possible that you aren't seeing packages because the repositories are currently down
[06:55] <commctrl> Thirsteh, if you want to run your own dns server, look at bind
[06:55] <geekdom> Apt-get install xxx, but I need to know the exact name of the package
[06:56] <geekdom> ouchy.
[06:56] <Thirsteh> Seveas, so how is resolving a particular subdomain of a site into a different IP than the main server not redirecting?
[06:56] <jbholman> has anybody tried those repos omac posted?
[06:56] <Callahad> jbholman: B... but what about IPv6!? I'd been banking on that, man! :D
[06:56] <commctrl> geekdom, there's a GUI frontend to apt-get, it's called Synaptic
[06:56] <Skaag> Thirsteh: the web server has to honour that new hostname
[06:56] <Seveas> Thirsteh, redirevting is sending traffic to another host tnam originally meant to
[06:56] <Skaag> Thirsteh: and then decide on redirections (or not)
[06:56] <eniac_petrov> hi all
[06:56] <Callahad> geekdom: there's also a text-mode gui to apt-get called aptitude
[06:56] <Skaag> hi eniac_petrov, did you read the topic? :)
[06:57] <Thirsteh> Gosh, whatever.
[06:57] <Skaag> Thirsteh: I'm a DNS guru, ask me ;-)
[06:57] <eniac_petrov> Skaag yes, I am here for it :-D
[06:57] <tmccrary> Hey
[06:57] <Skaag> eniac_petrov: have you come to hold our hands? :-)
[06:57] <Skaag> anyway welcome :)
[06:57] <eniac_petrov> thanks :-D
[06:58] <tmccrary> I got xorg 7.1 compiled and working, my i810 screen rotation works great
[06:58] <cowbud> haha I would ask but meh
[06:58] <Thirsteh> Skaag, I simply want a certain address to resolve to the IP of another machine so I can telnet othercomputer.somesite.com port 7000 and connect to someothersite.com's port 7000, does that make sense?
[06:58] <paiiiiii> 'bash: make: command not found' - what shall i install?
[06:58] <bobbyd> hi
[06:58] <Callahad> Damnit! I just hit an apt-get update. The first two servers it checked were non-Canonical/Ubuntu repositories. I saw things working and almost jumped out of my chair :(
[06:58] <Protostar> Anyone know when the repositories will be back up?
[06:58] <pekay> apt-get install make
[06:58] <Seveas> !compiling paiiiiii
[06:58] <ubotu> I know nothing about compiling paiiiiii - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[06:58] <Skaag> Thirsteh: sure, no problem, sounds easy enough
[06:58] <bobbyd> does the dapper installer configure for dual core automatically?
[06:58] <tmccrary> however, when I use xsetwacom to rotate my tablet's pen digitizer, I can only rotate one aspect (i.e. stylus or eraser, but not both). Anyone in here have experience with tablet pc's on linux?
[06:58] <zazeem> how do i install a deb file?
[06:58] <Seveas> Protostar, as soon as we know, you know
[06:58] <Skaag> Thirsteh: are you in control of the primary domain?
[06:58] <Thirsteh> Skaag, what I'm asking is what type to use; A, CNAME, Web-forward or Web-alias?
[06:58] <Seveas> !deb > zazeem
[06:59] <Protostar> ok cool
[06:59] <bobbyd> zazeem: dpgk -i name_of_package
[06:59] <paiiiiii> pekay: the thing is that i dont have any internet on the laptop, thats the thingy im trying to fix...
[06:59] <Skaag> Thirsteh: you want an A or PTR
[06:59] <eniac_petrov> zazeem sudo apt-get somefile.deb
[06:59] <Thirsteh> Skaag, thanks, that was the answer I was looking for :)
[06:59] <Skaag> Thirsteh: A record would be ok
[06:59] <eniac_petrov> or from gui
[06:59] <amarokker> can someone tell me how to tweak firefox? I tried the forums- as the topic says, its down.
[06:59] <Callahad> zazeem: either 'sudo gdebi' or 'sudo dpkg -i *.deb' Gdebi is graphical and smart (dependencies), dpkg isn't
[06:59] <bobbyd> Protostar: use the mirrors
[06:59] <bobbyd> http://64.233.183.104/search?q=cache:c5cTOW7xvvMJ:https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive+&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&client=safari
[06:59] <Thirsteh> Skaag, I don't have the PTR option, it's a remote hosting solution which is very limited, there is a DNS admin panel however.
[06:59] <user_> basic question (i hope) would help me trmenedously tho: is there any command to set all file/user rights to default values at once?
[06:59] <Thirsteh> Skaag, but I'll try A :)
[06:59] <caglar> is ubuntuforums down?
[07:00] <Protostar> what mirrors?
[07:00] <Skaag> Thirsteh: I figured, so yes, "A" will do it.
[07:00] <wayward> user_ chmod 644 file
[07:00] <Thirsteh> Skaag, thanks again.
[07:00] <caglar> :)
[07:00] <Skaag> Thirsteh: my pleasure mate
[07:00] <khoda> so when i reboot i get 5 quick beeps. what's the first thing i should check?
[07:00] <user_> way: thx, i meant the whole system values though
[07:00] <jbroome> khoda: ram
[07:00] <user_> just like after a fresh install
[07:00] <Callahad> How much space is required to set up a full, local universe/multiverse/main/restricted repository for the release, security, backports, and updates?
[07:00] <cowbud> khoda: your motherboard manual
[07:00] <HiP_P> thanks bobbydd
[07:00] <commctrl> user_, why?
[07:01] <Seveas> khoda, the user manual of your motherboard ;)
[07:01] <wayward> user_: you mean the defaults or change permissions on a set of files?
[07:01] <caglar> I compiled the 2.6.17 kernel on my ubuntu machine but now I cant mount my second hdd when using the new kernel.
[07:01] <MagicFab> Seveas, isn' t there a way to /msg any newcomers instead of kicking them for just asking ? Seems no one ever reads that topic
[07:01] <caglar> anyone got an idea?
[07:01] <Skaag> khoda: display adapter is borked, or memory is not sitting properly in the slots
[07:01] <Seveas> Callahad, 200GB
[07:01] <Seveas> MagicFab, doesn't work - tried that
[07:01] <khoda> Skaag: what's a display adapter
[07:01] <srikanth> can any one tell what is a file roller..?
[07:01] <Skaag> khoda: those two are usually the problem (one of them)
[07:01] <user_> way: uhm the defaults on all files
[07:01] <cowbud> khoda: your video card
[07:01] <Skaag> khoda: the VGA card (nVidia / ATI / etc)
[07:01] <Callahad> Seveas: Hm... may just have to contribute a drive to the campus unix box, then :) thanks :)
[07:01] <khoda> oh
[07:01] <Seveas> MagicFab, /kick or /remove is the only way to get peoples attention
[07:02] <khoda> I had just installed Ubuntu, rebooted and used grub to get into windows then rebooted windows and this happened
[07:02] <paiiiiii> 'bash: make: command not found' - what shall i do if i dont have internet? (trying to install ethernet)
[07:02] <Seveas> !compiling > paiiiiii
[07:02] <tmccrary> apt-get install build-essential
[07:02] <Skaag> khoda: if you get away from the computer far enough, you will not hear any beeps anymore.
[07:02] <zazeem> is there a way to make xchat go to the sys tray?
[07:02] <tmccrary> that will get you make and everything else you need
[07:02] <zazeem> its not in options
[07:02] <Seveas> zazeem, apt-get install xchat-systray
[07:02] <khoda> Skaag: it just seems weird that it happened at the exact time i rebooted. feels like the software did it
[07:02] <zazeem> thnx
[07:03] <Skaag> khoda: does the screen show any text?
[07:03] <srikanth> what is ment by file roller??it is a p2p sharing??
[07:03] <Skaag> khoda: Or is it dark?
[07:03] <GreySim> zazeem, and if you don't like xchat-systray (I didn't, but I'm a bit picky) you can also look for a program called 'alltray'
[07:03] <wayward> user_: supposing your default permissions are 644
[07:03] <apokryphos> srikanth: no, it's the archive handler for GNOME
[07:03] <wayward> user_: and 755 for directories
[07:03] <zazeem> ok
[07:03] <cowbud> srikanth: it is a archiver like winrar or winzip
[07:03] <Skaag> khoda: Is it a laptop?
[07:03] <khoda> Skaag: no text
[07:03] <paiiiiii> tmccrary: "coult find package build-essentials"
[07:03] <khoda> Skaag: no
[07:03] <Seveas> paiiiiii, drop the s
[07:03] <Skaag> khoda: Is it an IBM or Dell computer?
[07:03] <Seveas> it's build-essential
[07:03] <khoda> Skaag: no , hand-made
[07:04] <user_> way: isnt there a command to set all values back to default system wide at once?
[07:04] <MagicFab> Seveas, tx
[07:04] <Skaag> khoda: strange then I have no idea why this would happen exactly after installing another operating system
[07:04] <paiiiiii> Seveas: no package found when im doing that.
[07:04] <srikanth> apokryphos, i am downloading a movie then which is the best option (Eaither open with file roller(or)save to desk)???
[07:04] <wayward> user_: find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;  && find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
[07:04] <Skaag> khoda: Disconnect it from the power, let it rest for 5 minutes without any power, then turn it on again
[07:04] <Skaag> khoda: maybe the power supply overheated
[07:04] <khoda> Skaag: thanks, will do
[07:04] <tmccrary> paiiiiii: sorry, it's build-essential
[07:04] <khoda> Skaag: okay
[07:04] <tmccrary>  apt-get install build-essential
[07:04] <user_> way: i mean there probably has to be one...or a way around it liek replacing a config file or something
[07:04] <wayward> user_: this will reset permissions for files and directories in the current dir. and below
[07:04] <jackson> hey guys I just installed the repo nvidia drivers after "sudo nvidia-driver --uninstall"ing some old drivers I had and now when I try to gdm start it comes up with the error (as part of a long log file): "Error: API mismach: the NVIDIA kernel module has the version 1.0-8762, but this X module has the version 1.0-8756." how do I correct this?
[07:05] <Skaag> khoda: and seveas was right, if you have the motherboard's manual, it says what X amounts of beep mean
[07:05] <doctormo> I've just made this for friend: http://www.postmaster.co.uk/fs/doctormo/Public/isocreate.tar.bz2 can someone else try it and see if it's useful or can be expanded (or redundent)
[07:05] <wayward> user_: but please use with care
[07:05] <paiiiiii> tmccrary: same.
[07:05] <user_> i might have messed something up badly and cant go throgh all the files
[07:05] <knubbe> anyone who knows whats wrong with the ubuntu services, mentioned in topic?
[07:05] <XVampireX> What's the estimate until everything is back up and working?
[07:05] <Skaag> khoda: so I would check if I were you, what 5 beeps mean
[07:05] <wayward> user_: each file/dir has its own set of permissions
[07:05] <user_> way: hm, ok ill google it up first
[07:05] <jackson> err "sudo nvidia-installer --uninstall", that is
[07:05] <Skaag> khoda: you said 5 right?
[07:05] <stefg> jackson: you're on 64-bit arne' you?
[07:05] <Seveas> knubbe, just that they're down for reasons beyond our control
[07:05] <khoda> Skaag: yep, ill check
[07:05] <wayward> user_:  your problem might lie someplace else.  What exactly do you need it for?
[07:05] <Skaag> khoda: good luck man
[07:05] <Aagni> hello al
[07:05] <user_> way: thats the problem...i cant possibly go through all of them manually
[07:05] <jackson> stefg: I have an AMD64 but I'm running a 32bit kernel
[07:05] <srikanth> apokryphos, i am downloading a movie then which is the best option (Eaither open with file roller(or)save to desk)???
[07:05] <wayward> I'm on full 64 :)
[07:06] <Skaag> i'm going to sleep
[07:06] <Seveas> srikanth, save
[07:06] <Skaag> good night people
[07:06] <Aagni> i am a first time linux user
[07:06] <Seveas> g'night Skaag
[07:06] <Aagni> i just installed it
[07:06] <Skaag> thanks Seveas :)
[07:06] <Skaag> seeya all tomorrow morning
[07:06] <srikanth> Seveas, thank u
[07:06] <ardchoille> Maybe they shouldn't have put everything on the same server?
[07:06] <jackson> stefg: the repo 2.6.15-26-386 kernel is what I'm using
[07:06] <wayward> user_: well you can type a command
[07:06] <Seveas> ardchoille, it's not all on the same server
[07:06] <Callahad> Aagni: Welcome to the fold :)
[07:06] <Seveas> the datacentre is down
[07:06] <wayward> user_: but how did you end up with bad permissions in the first place?
[07:06] <user_> way: not really i fear...i just checked some of my file rights after i ran through some problems and they seem to be strange
[07:06] <paiiiiii> tmccrary, Seveas: i dont have any internet connection and the package "build-essential" is not found.
[07:07] <user_> way: id like to know myself
[07:07] <stefg> jackson: we hab this issue a couple of times in here.. the nvidia-drivers in the repos are out of date
[07:07] <Seveas> paiiiiii, that package is on the cd
[07:07] <paiiiiii> Seveas: strange, 6.06? i cant find it :(
[07:07] <Aagni> Thanks Callahad
[07:07] <jackson> stefg: so I should remove those via apt and then install them manually again? does it matter which version I install manually?
[07:07] <wayward> user_: if you want to set 644 on files and 755 on directories, you have that command line above, but make sure that it is what you really want
[07:07] <Aagni> i need some help if someone can spare the time
[07:07] <tmccrary> hey, is the main us ubuntu mirror down?
[07:08] <wayward> user_: also make sure to read man chmod
[07:08] <Tonren> Hey guys, I'm getting a scary kdeinit: Aborting. bind() failed: permission denied error when I try to run Akregator under Xfce.  Any hints?
[07:08] <AlanL> Hi, anyone know of some dapper repo mirrors i can use whilst ubuntu's are down?
[07:08] <tmccrary> ah, so they are
[07:08] <Seveas> AlanL, just be patient
[07:08] <Aagni> oh, are repositories down?
[07:08] <azure_me> try the local mirrors
[07:08] <Mempf> yep
[07:08] <Aagni> i did ..
[07:08] <azure_me> us.archive.ubuntu.com
[07:08] <rsk> Aagni: yeah, topic
[07:08] <stefg> jackson: you could apt-get install build-essential linux-kernel-headers-`uname -r` and then get the driver from the nvidia-site and let it build a working module
[07:08] <tmccrary> they appear to be down, they have been down since last night
[07:08] <Aagni> oops :)
[07:08] <user_> way: allright quick question what should be the rights for /home?
[07:08] <azure_me> au.archive.ubuntu.com
[07:08] <phuzz> does ubuntu have that window manager switcher thing when you login or do you have to install that?
[07:08] <AlanL> would love to be, but just rebuilt my pc today and want to get it configured before i get back to work tomorrow.
[07:09] <wayward> user_: 755
[07:09] <knubbe> Seveas: should i be concerned since i run ubuntu webservers, or is the problem not ubuntu-specific?
[07:09] <paiiiiii> Seveas: can you show what i shall write in /etc/apt/sources.list to scan in CD?
[07:09] <azure_me> au.archive.ubuntu.com <-- this one saved my life!
[07:09] <user_> way: the default ones...and for /root?
[07:09] <stefg> jackson: bat watch out what /topic says :-)
[07:09] <AlanL> thanks azure_me
[07:09] <wayward> user_: same
[07:09] <Seveas> knubbe, it has nothing to do with Ubuntu
[07:09] <knubbe> Seveas: thank you.
[07:09] <Callahad> azure_me: And now a flood of #ubuntuians are going to wipe it off the net, aren't they? :)
[07:09] <AlanL> its the datacentre isn't it? yahoo's not loading right either
[07:09] <wayward> user_: you need to be careful with .*/ directories though
[07:10] <RonzO> a
[07:10] <Seveas> b
[07:10] <Bonez56> is anyone else having problems connecting to archive.ubuntu.com via apt-get?
[07:10] <Callahad> Bonez56: check the topic
[07:10] <secleinteer> yes
[07:10] <user_> way: thx i will look it up
[07:10] <Aagni> yes, i am too
[07:10] <RonzO> had Ronz logged on at home...just making sure i could write. =)
[07:10] <wayward> user_: ~/.gnupg/ should be 700
[07:10] <wayward> user_: good luck :)
[07:10] <secleinteer> damn gentoo users ddosed us ;)
[07:10] <Aagni> au mirror seems to be working fine
[07:10] <azure_me> oooops Callahad... not good
[07:10] <azure_me> :))
[07:10] <jasbur> any idea when ubuntu.com will be back up?
[07:10] <Seveas> jasbur, no
[07:10] <azure_me> then it will be down, Callahad, thanks to me
[07:10] <jasbur> bummer
[07:10] <tmccrary> so WHY are all these ubuntu services down?
[07:10] <secleinteer> come on every1, let's go ddos gentoo.org :-)
[07:11] <fiznut> It's gone forever ;(
[07:11] <Aagni> i have a wifi related question
[07:11] <jasbur> of course this is the day i had to re-install
[07:11] <tmccrary> I never see microsofts site go down for a day or so
[07:11] <fiznut> heh, picked a great day Jas
[07:11] <EvanCarroll> Confirmed, AU mirror working! Quick everyone change sourcs to use it, and take it down!
[07:11] <venk> mirrors.acm.jhu.edu is also running
[07:11] <doctormo> the lack of response leads me to believe it's not interesting... oh well
[07:11] <Seveas> gah
[07:11] <Aagni> my wifi connection seems to drop if not used for a couple of minutes
[07:11] <azure_me> this is bad... this is bad...
[07:11] <Aagni> or thats what i think
[07:11] <jbholman> http://filer.case.edu/wiki/eecs/ubuntu_mirror: at the bottom of page - look to section nearby ubuntu mirrors.  i am having success with some of these
[07:11] <wayward> au mirror will become /.ed :)
[07:11] <Callahad> venk: which makes me wonder if the U of M server is up... *off to check*
[07:12] <MagicFab> Seveas, perhaps specifically put in topic that repos too are down
[07:12] <mrstocks> Hi there, i have a little probleme with my Xfree  fglrx config, what ever resolution i put in the xorg.conf, it isnt parsed i removed all the other lines... anyclue where i can force a 1224x resolution ?
[07:12] <Seveas> MagicFab, won't help a bit - trust me
[07:12] <doctormo> tmccrary when was the last time you went to the microsoft website?
[07:12] <tmccrary> Saveas you douche bag
[07:12] <tmccrary> wtf
[07:12] <EvanCarroll> Confirmed, AU mirror working.
[07:12] <secleinteer> jesus, leave the profanity out of here
[07:12] <azure_me> se.archive.ubuntu.com is also good
[07:12] <jasbur> whoa mirror.mcs.anl.gov is down! what the hell is going on?
[07:13] <secleinteer> MASSIVE DDOS ATTACK!!! lol
[07:13] <fiznut> haha
[07:13] <[Wiebel] > are there any other wifi frontends like nm-applet
[07:13] <[Wiebel] > which do not work with NetworkManager
[07:13] <ACU> hey guys: I have installed Ubuntu 5.10 in powerpc - I wonder if I can update to 6.10 ? How to do it ?
[07:13] <AidyMole> I WANT TO INSTALL SCONS GOGGAMIT
[07:13] <Seveas> !upgrade > ACU
[07:13] <venk> UMN's is up
[07:13] <mimithebrain> update manager I think
[07:13] <CrashProne> So um, I have a MS Sidewinder 6 button simple gamepad... heeelp meeee!!  It's detected as a 4 button 4 axis who-knows what that thinks it's pressing 2 buttons constantly!  Any ideas??
[07:13] <mrstocks> why do you ban everyone in here..
[07:13] <Seveas> !mouse
[07:13] <ubotu> Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto  - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto
[07:13] <EvanCarroll> Horray, who keeps kicking me
[07:13] <venk> mitchigan tech's is up
[07:13] <[Wiebel] > !wifi
[07:13] <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
[07:13] <Seveas> CrashProne, --^
[07:13] <wayward> ACU: there are several howtos on that, but you'll have to wait for the repositories to come back online
[07:13] <farous> mrstocks: screen section
[07:14] <AidyMole> um
[07:14] <AidyMole> who is fixing the server fuck up
[07:14] <jbholman> http://ubuntu.cs.utah.edu/ubuntu is working
[07:14] <wayward> ACU: in the meantime, Google "upgrading dapper"
[07:14] <fiznut> Ted Stevens
[07:14] <venk> xmission's is up
[07:14] <AidyMole> repeat that please
[07:14] <Seveas> sigh
[07:15] <Seveas> apparently it's "let's behave like idiots day" today
[07:15] <lophyte> couple of servers go down and everyone goes nuts
[07:15] <azure_me> ouchie
[07:15] <mrstocks> farous yeap  i removed all the resolutions i didn't want.
[07:15] <Aagni> man .. too much noise in here
[07:15] <Mnabil> are ubuntu server alright ?!
[07:15] <lophyte> Mnabil: read the topic
[07:15] <CrashProne> Ehm, yeah I can't connect to the help stuff ubotu gave.. ^^;;
[07:15] <farous> mrstocks: xserver uses the first listed one as the default one if the monitor support it
[07:15] <ACU> OK so repositories for Ubuntu are down - I have to wait
[07:15] <venk> can apt currently use different servers as backups when primaries aren't available?
[07:15] <AlanL> seveas, take the irc site down to really scare people
[07:16] <fiznut> CrashProne, Ubuntu servers are down at the moment. It'll work when they come back online
[07:16] <paiiiiii> What line in "/etc/apt/sources.list" shall i add to cdrom as source
[07:16] <paiiiiii> ?
[07:16] <Seveas> CrashProne, remember it and use it when the servers are back 
[07:16] <mrstocks> farous there is only one resolution, depth 24... and 1280x .. i removed all the others.
[07:16] <farous> mrstocks: post your xorg.conf file. you can also set it through dpgk-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:16] <paiiiiii> nvm
[07:16] <user_> way: sry, again but for which users should the 755 be set for?
[07:16] <mrstocks> oki where can i post it?
[07:16] <farous> !pastebin
[07:16] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[07:16] <mrstocks> oki
[07:16] <mrstocks> brb
[07:16] <mimithebrain> Seveas, do you know when approximatly the servers should be back on?
[07:16] <Seveas> mimithebrain, no
[07:17] <mimithebrain> oh ok. thanks :D
[07:17] <Seveas> when I know, you'll know it 5 seconds later
[07:17] <wayward> user_: 755 is the usual mode for all the home directories
[07:17] <mimithebrain> perfect! :)
[07:17] <Aagni> any wireless experts around?
[07:17] <user_> way: and for root as well you said?
[07:17] <azure_me> Seveas, it's a tough job, ain't it?
[07:17] <Seveas> azure_me, sometimes 
[07:17] <wayward> user_: yeah
[07:17] <venk> think we need a list of running mirrors?
[07:17] <Seveas> Aagni, just ask your question 
[07:17] <Bonez56> or just some patience :)
[07:18] <Bonez56> i'm sure it will be back
[07:18] <Seveas> venk, there is one ... on the wiki
[07:18] <wayward> user_: at least that's the default :)
[07:18] <Bonez56> go have a coffee :)
[07:18] <mrstocks_> Weird...
[07:18] <Seveas> Bonez56, HEAR HEAR! 
[07:18] <[Wiebel] > there was some other wifi frontend tool
[07:18] <venk> the wiki is also down
[07:18] <[Wiebel] > I forgot the name
[07:18] <user_> way: hm, 7= user 5=group 5= others
[07:18] <Aagni> okie doke. My wireless connection drops after a few mins of non-usage
[07:18] <MagicFab> Seveas, I have blogged in french about the services bveing down... what else can us mere mortals do to get some info out ?
[07:18] <Aagni> i can figure out why
[07:18] <user_> way: i should have looked at this way earlier :|
[07:18] <tenco> is security.ubuntu.com down?
[07:18] <venk> yes
[07:18] <Aagni> ami mean i cant
[07:18] <mrstocks_> i can't goto a tty console now, i get No input signal... and i have to go back to X
[07:18] <Bonez56> the whole world is in a frenzy because the ubuntu server is down... :)
[07:18] <Seveas> MagicFab, not much
[07:19] <mimithebrain> I'd be curious to know what was the problem once it is fixed... :)
[07:19] <Aagni> only workaround i have found is to disable and re-enable the connection
[07:19] <epimeteo> forums are down too?
[07:19] <venk> yep
[07:20] <wayward> user_: do check your startup scripts, /etc/profile, /etc/bash/bashc for commands like 'umask 022'.  It should be 022.
[07:20] <doener_> does anybody know why?
[07:20] <jbroome> dns problem
[07:20] <doener_> thx
[07:20] <orpheus> so are both us.archive.ubuntu.com AND archive.ubuntu.com dow nown?
[07:20] <wayward> user_: also your ~/.profile, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bashrc
[07:20] <jbroome> dns problem
[07:20] <jbroome> orpheus: yes
[07:21] <vorbote> Hi, does anybody know how to shutup gnome-volume-manager (or pmount-hal) when there is a dm-crypt/Luks partition on disk? It tries to mount it as if it were a removable volume which it ibviously isn't.
[07:21] <mimithebrain> jbroome, I can resolve ubuntu.
[07:21] <orpheus> jbroome: thanks.
[07:21] <mrstocks_> now why am i only allowed to be in 1024x 800x or 640 ?? Here is my xorg cnf http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18700
[07:21] <wayward> I be off to eat.  user_, good luck :)
 i wanna go into #ubuntu and go "WHEN ARE THE SERVERS COMING BACK gAHHHH!!!"
[07:21] <user_> darn
[07:21] <phenex> guys, i'm trying to set up a ubuntu box but many apt servers are down... does any one have an alternative sources.list for me?
[07:21] <Seveas> phenex, apt-get install patience
[07:21] <the_hammer> lol
[07:21] <jasbur> ha!
[07:21] <phenex> umm... kind of a problem...
[07:21] <mimithebrain> lol
[07:21] <the_hammer> that was funny
[07:21] <marcin_ant> phenex, try some mirrors
[07:21] <Bonez56> Seveas: rofl
[07:21] <phenex> guess it's on the server that fell...
[07:22] <fiznut> haha
[07:22] <mimithebrain> is there really a package named like that?
[07:22] <fiznut> Clever.
[07:22] <SS2> phenex: take the german repos
[07:22] <marcin_ant> phenex, maybe pl.archive.ubuntu.com
[07:22] <espectro> help, windows overwrote grub, and the ubuntuguide says to type grub-install /dev/hda but it says Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.
[07:22] <lens> I assume if a dvd opens when I put in the DVD automatically then it is mounted correct?
[07:22] <marcin_ant> phenex, polish mirrors should work
[07:22] <the_hammer> ypu there is and if u believe it i got a pile of dog doo-doo can sell ya 50 cents a pound
[07:22] <jasbur> espectro: weird i just had the same issue today, bad day for the site to go down :(
[07:22] <vorbote> espectro, if boot is in a different partition, you need to mount that one as well.
[07:22] <espectro> jasbur: site is up
[07:23] <espectro> vorbote: boot is on the same partition
[07:23] <Aagni> what about security? can i use a mirror for that as well?
[07:23] <Viperlin> hey, can one of the guys who banned AidyMole join #otw and take the piss out of him please
[07:23] <Viperlin> thankyou :)
[07:23] <jasbur> no it's not
[07:23] <phenex> thanks... il try the polish onse... though it sounds not really logical :|
[07:23] <andriijas> how do i mount a sd card reader ?
[07:23] <vorbote> espectro, check that your device is mapped in /boot/grub/device.map
[07:23] <XVampireX> coky
[07:23] <the_hammer> lol viper
[07:23] <XVampireX> conky
[07:23] <Kibou> lens: most dvd players use the device (/dev/dvd) directly actually
[07:23] <XVampireX> Ok
[07:24] <XVampireX> This is what happens when servers are down
[07:24] <XVampireX> Everyone excited
[07:24] <espectro> vorbote: it says: (hd0)   /dev/hda
[07:24] <espectro> (hd1)   /dev/hdc
[07:24] <jasbur> i never realized how much i depend on those servers before
[07:24] <espectro> my windows is dev/hda and ubuntu is /dev/hdc
[07:24] <quietas> 1) Old laptop 2) cdrom not bootable 3) floppy 4) SBM won't boot cd  - - ANy ideas?
[07:24] <espectro> vorbote: i even tried to chroot
[07:25] <doener_> if there are "onlyn" dns problems the direct ip adress should wokr
[07:25] <Kibou> quietas: trash it
[07:25] <the_hammer> anyone here have some time that can help me install an eggdrop?
[07:25] <lens> Kibou - so if I was configuring my hdparm.conf file... then I should set it up as /dev/dvd?  I'm having a hell of a time with WINE programs not detecting it.
[07:25] <doener_> does anybody know the ubuntu.com ip adress?
[07:25] <vorbote> espectro, Ahh! OK. You can't use grub
[07:25] <dr_willis> quietas,  remove hd. install in other box. install..  or find a boot floppy.
[07:25] <vorbote> espectro, nor lilo
[07:25] <quietas> Kibou: lol, that was the first thought, it's going to be a digital picture frame
[07:25] <espectro> what, i have used lilo and grub lots of times ago
[07:25] <Kibou> lens: no idea how wine handles stuff, sorry
[07:26] <espectro> grub is kinda sucky when linux isn-t on the first hard drive though
[07:26] <quietas> Dr_willis: yup, freaky huge laptop drive won't fit either of my other two laptops
[07:26] <Outworlder> are there any ubuntu repository mirrors?
[07:26] <vorbote> espectro, because the /boot paritition *has* to be in the main booting disk. What you can do is use ntldr to boot. That is, use the WinNT boot manager.
[07:26] <lens> Kibou, it's OK me neither... it's a bitch!
[07:26] <dr_willis> quietas,  heh - i got the opposite prob. My laptops hd died.. and its a 'slim' one. :P so i cant find a replacement.
[07:26] <vorbote> It's easy (though elaborate).
[07:26] <dr_willis> quietas,  those external usb bays are handy.
[07:26] <sdh> ubuntu servers dead?
[07:26] <the_hammer> well with services being down guess i picked a piss poor time to come ask for hel;p installing an eggdrop eh
[07:26] <quietas> dr_willis: any idea where to get a boot floppu image that will load the ubuntu installer off the cd?
[07:26] <jasbur> as a door nail
[07:27] <doener_> sdh, see topic! ^^
[07:27] <espectro> vorbote: i have used ntloader with lilo, but not with grub. how do i tell grub to save the boot sector to a file_
[07:27] <dr_willis> quietas,  not really - i bet its mentioned in the forums some where.
[07:27] <jasbur> this sucks, i'm losing a whole day of developing here
[07:27] <Aagni> the_hammer:  yes, i am stuck too :)
[07:27] <WebMaven> the_hammer: what's an eggdrop?
[07:27] <the_hammer> irc bot
[07:27] <vorbote> You grab a copy of the boot mark in your ubuntu partition (that is, first do a grub-install /dev/hdc1, if that's your booting partition)
[07:27] <quietas> dri_willis: haven't found anything yet, help site being down isn't helping
[07:27] <bobbyd> jasbur: use the mirrors!
[07:27] <espectro> vorbote: and then use dd like i do normally
[07:27] <bobbyd> http://64.233.183.104/search?q=cache:c5cTOW7xvvMJ:https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive+&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&client=safari
[07:27] <jbholman> quietas: i know
[07:27] <sdh> Seveas: noob, i was enquiring about the reason
[07:27] <vorbote> Then dd if=/dev/hdc1 of=ubuntuboot.ini bs=512 count=1
[07:28] <the_hammer> http://www.eggheads.org/ <---to find out bout eggdrops
[07:28] <sdh> Seveas: no need to be an arse
[07:28] <Aagni> the_hammer: i thought they were scripts you could run right .. are you stuck with anything in particular
[07:28] <vorbote> copy that to windows end set up ntloader.
[07:28] <espectro> ubuntu@ubuntu:/boot/grub$ sudo grub-install /dev/hdc1
[07:28] <espectro> Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.
[07:28] <the_hammer> ya i cant get it installed
[07:28] <Knag> hi
[07:28] <amund> how can I make gnome copy text on select?
[07:28] <WebMaven> Seveas: Since I've only recently joined the channel, how long have the servers been down?
[07:28] <Aagni> the_hammer: why not
[07:28] <Seveas> WebMaven, a while
[07:28] <jasbur> all day
[07:28] <the_hammer> dunno it just wont go
[07:28] <Knag> amund, with the mouse mid bottom, perhaps?
[07:28] <vorbote> espectro, mount -t proc procfs /proc within the chrot
[07:28] <Aagni> the_hammer: perms?
[07:28] <jbholman> quietas: http://linux.simple.be/tools/sbm
[07:28] <espectro> ok
[07:28] <Seveas> they are working on it, but the errors are mostly beyond our control
[07:28] <the_hammer> perms?
[07:29] <bobbyd> all the people who are asking about the servers being down, just use one of the mirrors here: http://64.233.183.104/search?q=cache:c5cTOW7xvvMJ:https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive+&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&client=safari
[07:29] <jbholman> this should allow you to boot from floppy
[07:29] <bobbyd> it works fine
[07:29] <WebMaven> Seveas: are you a canonical employee?
[07:29] <Aagni> the_hammer: permissions?
[07:29] <jbholman> then just choose boot CD with your ubuntu cd in
[07:29] <Seveas> WebMaven, no
[07:29] <the_hammer> no no
[07:29] <azure_me> what's otw?
[07:29] <amund> Knag: mid button just past text, not copy
[07:29] <doener_> mirror: ftp://ftp.join.uni-muenster.de/pub/mirrors/ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
[07:29] <the_hammer> i wish that is it lol i can fix that then
[07:29] <WebMaven> Seveas: 'beyond your control' can you expand on that a bit?
[07:29] <Seveas> WebMaven, no
[07:29] <Aagni> the_hammer: whats it then
[07:29] <quietas> jbholman: yeah, that was my thought also, but I get some weird Disk Error when I use it
[07:29] <espectro> damn
[07:29] <bobbyd> Seveas: how about adding that mirror list to the topic?
[07:29] <the_hammer> when i type the commands to install nothing happens
[07:30] <Knag> amund, no
[07:30] <espectro> says /dev/hdc1: Not found or not a block device.
[07:30] <jbholman> quietas: input/output error?
[07:30] <Knag> i think it also copies
[07:30] <Knag> well, my mouse does that!
[07:30] <jbholman> quietas: i had to try like 7 different floppies before it worked
[07:30] <espectro> > /dev/hdc1             18421552   3093436  14392332  18% /
[07:30] <squid0> hi
[07:30] <omarkj> If you do for me apt-cache search postgrey, to you get any results ?
[07:30] <squid0> where would i find libtoolize?
[07:30] <quietas> johlman: It does the save and then comes up with something saying Disk Error 0Xaa
[07:30] <the_hammer> well ill come and try back later i guess......see u guys
[07:30] <squid0> ie. which ubuntu package?
[07:30] <espectro> vorbote: i mounted proc and such
[07:31] <WebMaven> Seveas: OK.
[07:31] <pecisk_> hi crowd, is there any way to enable access to partitions - old ext3, Windows FAT - without messing with fstab? In betas, there was nice autodetection, how to bring it back?
[07:31] <bobbyd> Seveas: thanks
[07:31] <nry> what about ubuntu servers restoration
[07:31] <amund> Knag: aha, I works in firefox, but not in terminal. But I would relly like the old behavior
[07:31] <fiznut> What's the terminal command to search for installed dev libraries?
[07:31] <bobbyd> nry: check the topic and use a mirror
[07:32] <Knag> but what about control+C (well, this obviously doesn't copy text on a terminal)?
[07:32] <jbholman> quietas: so it asks you to save?  i just always select no
[07:32] <squid0> which ubuntu package contains 'libtoolize'?
[07:32] <jbholman> quietas: so you try to boot from CD, then it asks you to save, and you ahve been saying yes?
[07:32] <bobbyd> squid0: use apt-file to find out
[07:32] <quietas> jbholman: ignore it and say no?
[07:32] <squid0> bobbyd: thanks...
[07:32] <jbholman> quietas: because i had similar problems.  i would just say no
[07:33] <offroadgeek> I just installed dapper (xp dualboot) and it rebooted to boot into ubuntu for the first time and I get 'grub>' ... anyone familiar with this?
[07:33] <Sagotis> sup with ubuntu website?
[07:33] <interfear> offroadgeek: thats the boot loader
[07:33] <Seveas> squid0, libtool
[07:33] <squid0> Seveas: thanks
[07:33] <espectro> vorbote: any other ideas?
[07:33] <interfear> offroadgeek: you should be able to select wether you want to boot into windows or linux through that
[07:33] <Seveas> (not too unexcpected)
[07:33] <kozlojak> is there an easy way to change the bootup splash(when the system is first booting mouting the fs etc..)
[07:33] <Knag> Sagotis, it seems it has crashed?
[07:33] <offroadgeek> interfear: then I do 'root (hd0,5) to tell it that / is on /dev/hda6
[07:33] <Sagotis> knag, have u tried>
[07:33] <Knag> ('cause i can't apt-get nothing nor connect to ubuntu websites and so on)
[07:33] <jbroome> !away > McNutella
[07:34] <interfear> offroadgeek: hrm dont know what your talking about there
[07:34] <dr_willis> hda6 would be hd0,5
[07:34] <gnomefreak> Knag: read teh topic
[07:34] <Knag> Sagotis, yes
[07:34] <FX|Laptop> Well since the channelbot answered my question I guess I don't need to ask. lol
[07:34] <Knag> oh
[07:34] <Knag> sorry
[07:34] <jbroome> Ooh, even better
[07:34] <WebMaven> Seveas: do you know if this has anything to do with the recent debian server hack?
[07:34] <Knag> thanks :D
[07:34] <offroadgeek> interfear: when I've done this before, it usually gives me the list of kernels to boot into
[07:34] <paiiiiii> Does anyone know how to install et131x ethernet driver?
[07:34] <Seveas> WebMaven, nothing at all
[07:34] <SanketMedhi> !splash
[07:34] <ubotu> To change the Gnome splash screen, open the gconf-editor and change the key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash-image.
[07:34] <snow_blind> ah good not just me then :P
[07:34] <snow_blind> thanks for topic
[07:34] <see> hey i upgraded hoary->breezy-> dapper, and now my gnome desktop is just empty...any ideas what packages i need to install to get the normal standard ubuntu gnome desktop?
[07:35] <Seveas> see, ubuntu-desktop
[07:35] <bobbyd> see: install ubuntu-desktop
[07:35] <see> thnx
[07:35] <quietas> jbholman: same issue. I think it is something weird with this particular drive. System commander would'mnt boot it either
[07:35] <jbroome> Seveas: does this outage have anything to do with the israel/lebanon confilct?
[07:35] <jaras> does anyone know if you can tweak your right-click menu in gnome?
[07:35] <mimithebrain> oohhh, good question
[07:35] <Seveas> jbroome, don't be ridiculous
[07:35] <gnomefreak> jbroome: no
[07:35] <mimithebrain> haha
[07:35] <gnomefreak> ;)
[07:35] <jbroome> ;)
[07:35] <SanketMedhi> jaras: like for what?
[07:35] <jbholman> quietas: hmmm. i'm not sure what to say.  just to get things straight, you can boot the floppy, then you select boot from CDROM
[07:35] <pecisk_> hi crowd, is there any way to enable access to partitions - old ext3, Windows FAT - without messing with fstab? In betas, there was nice autodetection, how to bring it back?
[07:35] <jbholman> quietas: and what happens after that?
[07:36] <pasmen> Anyone knows about repository with VMware server package?
[07:36] <Mempf> !topic
[07:36] <Seveas> pasmen, there is none
[07:36] <ubotu> I know nothing about topic - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[07:36] <pasmen> k ty
[07:36] <SanketMedhi> pasmen: download it off Vmware's official site
[07:36] <bobbyd> Mempf: it's /topic
[07:36] <Seveas> pasmen, vmware-player is in the repos though
[07:36] <jaras> SanketMedhi: i miss the shorcut for the terminal
[07:36] <pasmen> i know about player
[07:36] <pasmen> got it up n running
[07:36] <pasmen> need server tho
[07:36] <Seveas> jaras, apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal
[07:36] <SanketMedhi> pasmen: Use the first few steps of this link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=192328
[07:37] <pasmen> i read everything
[07:37] <SanketMedhi> SanketMedhi: what is the shortcut?
[07:37] <pasmen> can't get it to work still anyway
[07:37] <pasmen> i'll try once more when i have more time
[07:37] <pasmen> thanks
[07:37] <quietas> jbholman: yeah, I'm in SBM now on that laptop, I choose cdrom, asks me to save y/n, choses y or n and I eget a red box saying "Disk Error! 0xAA"
[07:37] <SanketMedhi> pasmen: use the link for server
[07:37] <Aagni> Sagotis: see topic
[07:37] <ketsugi> are the ubuntu forums down?
[07:37] <khoda> Just installed. loads everything takes me to login page. I login goes to next page with orange ubunto logo and maroon background. The logo is choppy and looks like crap. it just hangs there. this is after i installed w/ alternate cd. whats going on? looks like gfx problemm... (first time user)
[07:37] <galago> I'm getting an authentication failed message when installing packages, did the GPG key change?
[07:37] <pasmen> i downloaded it, and tried to install
[07:37] <doener_> ketilkn: yes
[07:37] <Seveas> galago, no
[07:37] <pasmen> i'm getting weird errors when building kernel modules
[07:38] <jaras> SanketMedhi: tanks will try it when their servers get up and running again...
[07:38] <jbholman> quietas: that happend to me once as well.  i simply had to try again.  i think the CD rom had just not spun up yet.  have you tried booting sbm, waiting maybe a minute and then selecting cdrom?
[07:38] <SanketMedhi> does anyone know about the gdmsetup crash error?
[07:38] <SanketMedhi> jaras: just go to vmware.com and you will figure it out I am sure
[07:38] <quietas> jbholman: yeah, it's sitting there loaded for the last 15 mintues or so
[07:39] <khoda> Just installed. loads everything takes me to login page. I login goes to next page with orange ubunto logo and maroon background. The logo is choppy and looks like crap. it just hangs there. this is after i installed w/ alternate cd. whats going on? looks like gfx problemm... (first time user)
[07:39] <galago> Seveas: so why do I get that error?  I have apt-key installed with the ftp master and cd keys 437D05B5 & FBB75451
[07:39] <jbholman> quietas: ooooooooooof........ have you tried another ubuntu CD?
[07:39] <Tonren> Hey guys, what is "startup notification"?
[07:39] <jbholman> quietas: by the way, what laptop do you have?
[07:39] <mimithebrain> Tonren: the sound it makes when it starts up?
[07:39] <quietas> jbholman: yup, ubuntu, xubuntu, lite. Multiple burns on a couple different puters and brands of discs
[07:40] <Knag> Tonren, a notification that (only) appears when you start something by the first time?
[07:40] <Knag> [perhaps sound, yes] 
[07:40] <Aagni> my darn wireless connection drops after a while any idea why?
[07:40] <jbholman> quietas: i take it you have tried a couple different sbm floppies as well?
[07:40] <user_> the user rights for /home should be rwxr-xr-x right?
[07:40] <mimithebrain> Aagni: which card?
[07:40] <Tonren> mimithebrain: Knag: No, no... it's this thing that you can click when you're making a panel command.  And apparently it's some weird thing that an app has to specifically support for it to work.
[07:40] <quietas> jbholman: it's an older Dell XPi CD m166st, Old nearly ancient p166, but perfect to build into a picture frame
[07:40] <Knag> ah
[07:40] <Aagni> mimithebrain: uhh, dunno how do i find out
[07:40] <Kamping_Kaiser> how do i set a system wide proxy ? (not a gnome wide, a system wide)
[07:40] <mimithebrain> lspci
[07:40] <quietas> jbholman: yeah
[07:41] <mimithebrain> AAgni: lspci
[07:41] <Firebird8> is the repository down or somethin?
[07:41] <mimithebrain> Firebird8: yes!
[07:41] <Doenerporno> hey, i have a printer question
[07:41] <jbholman> quietas: hah.  you know i've seen directions for doing a net install after booting knoppix
[07:41] <jbholman> quietas: oh, nevermind
[07:41] <DigitalExorcist> I sure picked the wrong weekend to build a ubuntu mythbox, eh?
[07:41] <Amaranth> indeed
[07:41] <Firebird8> O_o
[07:41] <jbholman> quietas: is there any sorta OS booting on it now?
[07:41] <Firebird8> doh
[07:41] <khoda> Just installed. loads everything takes me to login page. I login goes to next page with orange ubunto logo and maroon background. The logo is choppy and looks like crap. it just hangs there. this is after i installed w/ alternate cd. whats going on? looks like gfx problemm... (first time user)
[07:42] <DigitalExorcist> any word on the cause?
[07:42] <Seveas> DigitalExorcist, no
[07:42] <mimithebrain> Some say DNS, others don't know...
[07:42] <DigitalExorcist> shiite!
[07:42] <Aagni> mimithebrain: it says Atheros
[07:42] <quietas> jbholman: yeah, I dug out win 98 a bit ago. Booting from floppy and install from cd works fine there
[07:42] <DigitalExorcist> dns looks good
[07:42] <Doenerporno> i have a canon ip3000, can i run it without turboprint?
[07:42] <RonzO> yay! khoda got it running!  =)
[07:42] <Rambo3> DigitalExorcist mythbox . :P that garbage
[07:42] <mimithebrain> Aagni: the background scan is probably activated... or something
[07:42] <billfur> Does the services problem effect installing a ubuntu box at all?  (as long as you change to non us servers?)
[07:42] <khoda> RonzO: haha
[07:42] <mimithebrain> Aagni: update the madwifi drivers
[07:42] <DigitalExorcist> whats better rambo3
[07:42] <khoda> RonzO: now we have new problems
[07:42] <mimithebrain> Aagni: then read the background scan documentation on madwifi.org
[07:43] <Aagni> mimithebrain: madwifi?
[07:43] <jbholman> quietas: oh, interesting.  well, maybe you could try booting with sbm and then knoppix? then a net-install?
[07:43] <RonzO> khoda, welcome to real life. =)
[07:43] <mimithebrain> Aagni: the driver that runs atheros cards
[07:43] <mimithebrain> Aagni: madwifi.org
[07:43] <minerale> Hi, is there an update on when the servers that have the packages will be up ?
[07:43] <RonzO> khoda, will boot all the way up?
[07:43] <jbholman> quietas: i've also seen directions for booting with debian sarge floppies and then changing your repos to ubuntu or something
[07:43] <Rambo3> DigitalExorcist freevo any time , just a bad defult skin
[07:43] <srikanth> How to save the programs in python interpreter??
[07:43] <Aagni> mimithebrain: and whats a background scan
[07:43] <gnomefreak> minerale: no
[07:43] <jbholman> quietas: of course, i saw it on the wiki, and the wiki is currently ...............
[07:43] <DigitalExorcist> will it do in the living room with a remote??
[07:43] <quietas> jbholman: Knoppix won't boot either, not a bootable cd unfortunately
[07:44] <srikanth> which is opened in terminnal?
[07:44] <khoda> RonzO: yes. (i vacuumed it). now it takes me to the login page and i login and it then it hangs on the next page. im pretty sure it a gfx driver problem. this happened before with the desktop cd so i used alternate cd, same problem.
[07:44] <paiiiiii> Anyone with a "Agere Systems et131x" ethernet card here that can help?
[07:44] <quietas> lbholman: yeah, I was digging through the, lastnight till it died
[07:44] <mimithebrain> Aagni: a feature in madwifi that scans for APs in the background, so you don't have to. It's a bit disruptive and activates each 2 minutes, dropping temporarly the connection
[07:44] <funkja> Why is it that I cannot uninstall gaim without uninstalling ubuntu-desktop
[07:44] <user_> guys if i remount a hd with different rights than the rights defined in the fstab will be restored after reboot thou anyways, correct?
[07:44] <mimithebrain> Aagni: post dmesg | tail
[07:44] <user_> though
[07:44] <dr_willis> user_,  yes. it should work that way
[07:44] <Seveas> funkja, because ubuntu-desktop depends on gaim
[07:44] <gnomefreak> funkja: ubuntu-desktop can be removed
[07:44] <user_> dr: thx
[07:44] <RonzO> khoda, does it eventually log on? can you get to the desktop?
[07:44] <Rambo3> DigitalExorcist even geexbox works perfect with remote
[07:44] <tmccrary> good job arsemaster
[07:45] <srikanth> can any one tell how to save the programs in python interpretor??
[07:45] <funkja> gnomefreak, what will removing ubuntu-desktop do?
[07:45] <Seveas> that obviously was too soon for him
[07:45] <gnomefreak> funkja: nothing
[07:45] <khoda> RonzO: nope , i can't. it just stays at hte page with a maroon background and a very choppy orange ubuntu logo. it just hangs there.
[07:45] <Aagni> mimithebrain: can i paste it here?
[07:45] <funkja> gnomefreak, what is it then?
[07:45] <Seveas> Aagni, no
[07:45] <mimithebrain> Aagni: if you have problems using command line, or are new to linux, I suggest that you check out for howtos in the ubuntuforums when the servers are up
[07:45] <cowbud> funkja: if they ever add things to the ubuntu-desktop meta package it won't be auto installed when you upgrade..
[07:45] <_al_> I'm wondering what's wrong with dapper
[07:45] <DigitalExorcist> I'll take a looksee - need it for playback mostly...
[07:45] <gnomefreak> !ubuntu-desktop > funkja
[07:45] <mimithebrain> Aagni: yes you can...
[07:45] <jbholman> has anyone had any luck seeing a housemate's itunes share? i've installed banshee and banshee-daap, but for some reason banshee does not find the share.  we are on the same subnet and there are two windows xp boxes with itunes shares and they can see eachother.  do i need to manually edit some avahi config files?
[07:45] <gnomefreak> funkja: read your pm please
[07:45] <_al_> with wlan network card
[07:45] <Kamping_Kaiser> you can hold ubuntu-desktop and remove packages under it, but i'm not sure about knockon effects yet
[07:45] <RonzO> what type of processor do ya have khoda ?
[07:45] <user_> anbody has a hint how to remove xfce4 if you didnt use aptitude to install it (but apt-get)?
[07:45] <pecisk_> !pmount
[07:45] <ubotu> I know nothing about pmount - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[07:45] <Seveas> jbholman, try rhythmbox, it does daap too
[07:46] <DuDReNoV> Hi. A lot of the repositries seem to be timing out the past fiew days? Is there a reason for this or should I asume that that's whatthe topic is talking about
[07:46] <Aurvandill> Hey, can I change the "Application - Places - System" to only one menu button?
[07:46] <dr_willis> user_,  it dont matter. they are both doing the same thing.
[07:46] <Aagni> mimithebrain: no, i am not new to CLI
[07:46] <Seveas> DuDReNoV, it's what the topic is about
[07:46] <khoda> RonzO: dual core, amd64
[07:46] <_al_> when I plug card in, this card is eth1 and wlan0
[07:46] <gnomefreak> Kamping_Kaiser: too much work for ubuntu-desktop since its not needed (except to upgrade)
[07:46] <RonzO> jbholman, rythmbox
[07:46] <DuDReNoV> Ahum.
[07:46] <jbholman> saveas: will try, but i guess i just prefer banshee
[07:46] <FurryNemesis> !xbuntu
[07:46] <dr_willis> user_,  you could fire up synaptic and start clicking.
[07:46] <ubotu> I know nothing about xbuntu - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[07:46] <_al_> I can't configure to work none of them
[07:46] <Kamping_Kaiser> gnomefreak, its one line in apt.conf - what do you mean to mcuh work ;)
[07:46] <mimithebrain> Aagni: then you won't have problems using ./configure and make
[07:46] <_al_> with breezy this card worked ok
[07:46] <FurryNemesis> !clamav
[07:46] <ubotu> I know nothing about clamav - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[07:46] <Kamping_Kaiser> Apt::NeverAutoRemove::ubuntu-desktop;
[07:46] <Kamping_Kaiser> gnomefreak ^^ (again, i'm not sure about the effect)
[07:46] <gnomefreak> Kamping_Kaiser: :X
[07:46] <sdh> Seveas: thanks
[07:47] <_al_> orinoco silver
[07:47] <Aagni> mimithebrain: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18701
[07:47] <user_> dr: i did --purge remove but xfce4 is still running without any problems...ive been told i should have used aptitude to install
[07:47] <mimithebrain> the madwifi drivers are troublesome in ubuntu...
[07:47] <gnomefreak> funkja: please stop playing with the bot
[07:47] <srikanth> who know about python??
[07:47] <khoda> RonzO: any idea?
[07:47] <minerale> are there any mirrors I can use to download packages ?
[07:47] <user_> dr: since it handles depnedencies much better when uninstalling...which i hav heard of before
[07:47] <Seveas> AnMaster, hi 
[07:47] <Aagni> mimithebrain: i guess not
[07:47] <dr_willis> user_,  ya could use it to reinstall i guess.. what do ya mean 'still running' ?
[07:47] <BioVorE> still not working.. :-(
[07:47] <gnomefreak> srikanth: just ask your question please
[07:47] <BioVorE> must be really broke
[07:47] <AnMaster> Seveas, "<billfur> #ubuntu's insaner then usual" caused me to look in
[07:47] <caglar> anyone experienced ipod probmels with newer kernels?
[07:47] <Seveas> AnMaster, the channel is indeed insane today
[07:47] <RonzO> khoda, only thing i can think of is to make sure you used the AMD architecture image of ubuntu
[07:48] <Seveas> have fun watching 
[07:48] <mimithebrain> Aagni: I was looking for hardware errors in dmesg, seems like there is none, which is good...
[07:48] <user_> dr: means i can still select it from the session manager and it runs without flaws...the whole environment tho its removed via apt-get
[07:48] <khoda> RonzO: yep the amd64 install
[07:48] <srikanth> gnomefreak, How to save the programs in python inter pretor??is it possible?
[07:48] <khoda> RonzO: i guess i'll keep asking =) thanks
[07:48] <funkja> gnomefreak, i wasn't playing with the bot
[07:48] <Seveas> srikanth, not possible
[07:48] <Aagni> mimithebrain: thats good to know
[07:48] <RonzO> np khoda
[07:48] <jbholman> ronzo, saveas: i have tried ryhthm-box but no shares are appearing? should i restart the avahi-daemon?
[07:48] <caglar> anyone experienced ipod probmels with newer kernels?
[07:48] <gnomefreak> srikanth: no
[07:48] <AnMaster> Seveas, can't compare, I usaly stay in #gentoo ;)
[07:48] <dr_willis> user_,  the 'xubuntu-desktop' is just a meta package - ya needt o search for xfce and remove the individule packages
[07:48] <odat> hi everyone
[07:48] <odat> ubuntu forums are down
[07:48] <Aagni> mimithebrain: what else can i do?
[07:48] <srikanth> Seveas, gnomefreak thank u
[07:48] <gnomefreak> funkja: sorry not you
[07:48] <RonzO> yes jbholman . and check properties of rythmbox also
[07:48] <Aurvandill> Typical that the ubuntu site is down when I was about to install KDE :P
[07:48] <the_hammer> lol
[07:49] <mimithebrain> Aagni: if you see something like "wifi0: hardware error, reseting", I wasn't able to fix that problem on that pcmcia card I have
[07:49] <user_> dr: ok, i did install xfce4 though not the xubuntu-desktop
[07:49] <Midknight> Is there something wrong with the Ubuntu Archive? every time I try to update it just lags out
[07:49] <gnomefreak> FunnyLookinHat: it was tab complete it was meant for fuzzy
[07:49] <jbroome> Midknight: topic
[07:49] <odat> anyone know the command to select the default java
[07:49] <Aagni> mimithebrain: oh, i see
[07:49] <RonzO> javaconfig
[07:49] <the_hammer> im glad i dont have your guy's problems of services being down
[07:49] <Seveas> odat, update-java-alternatives
[07:49] <khoda> Just installed from the Alternate CD (first time user). I can login then it goes to the next page and hangs. The next page has a very choppy orange ubuntu logo and a maroon background. thats as far as it goes. whats going on?
[07:49] <mimithebrain> Aagni: well, you can update madwifi, remove restricted modules if there is no other module you use, reboot, run depmod -a, and reconnect to the internet
[07:49] <Aurvandill> the_hammer: the server's not down to everyone?
[07:50] <gnomefreak> Aurvandill: hes not using ubuntu
[07:50] <Seveas> Khisanth, please don't repeat every 5 minutes
[07:50] <Aurvandill> oh
[07:50] <Aagni> how do i update madwifi?
[07:50] <Aurvandill> isn't this the ubuntu channel? :P
[07:50] <Aagni> mimithebrain: how do i update and remove restricted modules?
[07:50] <mimithebrain> Aagni: You pretty much must remove restricted modules... unless you wanna run root for a long time and delete the out-of-the-box modules
[07:50] <the_hammer> sorry i guess that wasnt nice to say
[07:50] <khoda> Seveas: was that for me? sorry.
[07:50] <jbholman> ronzo: i am not registered so i can't private chat
[07:50] <mimithebrain> Aagni: ok, first, download the latest snapshot from madwifi.org
[07:50] <Aurvandill> I actually have Gentoo on my other box, but too lazy to boot it up.
[07:50] <user_> is it a rather common problem that settings for programs seem to disappear once in awhile or should i assume this indicates a serious problem?
[07:50] <Aagni> mimithebrain: ok, its being downloaded
[07:51] <the_hammer> jbholman /msg nickserv help
[07:51] <mimithebrain> Aagni: then, extract it to a folder and go in a terminal... then enter the directory
[07:51] <khoda> Is there anyway to install my graphics drivers in console before going into gnome??
[07:51] <the_hammer> only thing i need is help with installing an eggdrop
[07:51] <mimithebrain> Aagni: install binutils, and build-essential...
[07:51] <tuliomgui> how do I play mp3 in my ubuntu??
[07:51] <mimithebrain> Aagni: if it's not done already, you must wait for the servers to come up
[07:51] <dr_willis> !mp3
[07:51] <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
[07:51] <tuliomgui> my engines cant play it...
[07:51] <RonzO> !mp3
[07:51] <Seveas> mimithebrain, binutils is part of build-essential 
[07:51] <tuliomgui> =/
[07:52] <Aurvandill> khoda: you want to write in a console outside of X?
[07:52] <tuliomgui> !mp3
[07:52] <srikanth> the_hammer, how to register i read the help but i dont understand it; plz help me...
[07:52] <mimithebrain> tuliomgui: you can install xmms and the mp3 plugin, and everything is set ;)
[07:52] <RonzO> dr_willis, libxine_extracodecs
[07:52] <mimithebrain> Seveas: good to know, thanks :)
[07:52] <tuliomgui> thanks Ronz0
[07:52] <gnomefreak> srikanth: /msg nickserv register password email
[07:52] <the_hammer> srikanth /msg nickserv  register password
[07:52] <Aagni> mimithebrain: i unzipped it, what next
[07:52] <khoda> Aurvandill: Well I can't get into gnome, it hangs on a certain page with a choppy logo. im guessing its a gfx problem..
[07:52] <odat> Seveas, what the entire command for selecting java
[07:52] <the_hammer> dont need e-mail
[07:52] <the_hammer> just the password
[07:52] <mimithebrain> Aagni: enter the directory in a console and type make
[07:52] <RonzO> lol
[07:53] <Aagni> mimithebrain: says command not found
[07:53] <srikanth> gnomefreak, the_hammer thank u
[07:53] <the_hammer> your welcome :)
[07:53] <mimithebrain> Aagni: you haven't installed build-essential
[07:53] <tuliomgui> wich mp3 plugin Ronz0??
[07:53] <gnomefreak> the_hammer: if you lose your password you want to have meail in there
[07:53] <jbroome> Aagni: sounds like you need build-esential
[07:53] <mimithebrain> Aagni: in that case, you can download it from a mirror or wait for the official ubuntu servers to come back up
[07:53] <jbholman> the hammer: thanks
[07:53] <the_hammer> true but here they dont accept emails
[07:53] <the_hammer> didnt for me anyway
[07:53] <the_hammer> your welcome
[07:53] <minerale> Hi, are there any mirrors that work for packages ?
[07:53] <gnomefreak> they do
[07:53] <FunnyLookinHat> Did someone ping me??
[07:53] <Aagni> mimithebrain: i am installing it
[07:53] <gnomefreak> FunnyLookinHat: nope not that i saw
[07:54] <mimithebrain> Aagni: I install those ASAP usually, because I mostly compile from source packages that have a better version...
[07:54] <basvg> hi all.. I've tried to get one of my microphones to work but havne't been able to. One of them is the mic from my webcam, the other is from the Philips headset. gnome-volume-control sees both of them, I checked to make sure the devices are not muted and tried to record sound with gnome-sound-recorder with no luck. Can anyone help out?
[07:54] <khoda> Anyway to install gfx drivers in console before it automatically takes me to gnome?
[07:54] <Aurvandill> khoda: well, as a newb with Ubuntu I don't know how to get out of X, but it's probably easy... With Gentoo you started with a command line, and then had to write 'startx'
[07:54] <Aagni> mimithebrain: i have never done that before
[07:54] <RonzO> hey jbholman , sorry, cant reply to the message
[07:54] <FunnyLookinHat> gnomefreak, heh ok.  i'll be around if anyone needs somehting
[07:54] <Aagni> mimithebrain: as this is the first time i have installed linux on my own
[07:54] <RonzO> not registered w/ ronzo. =/ only ronz
[07:54] <mimithebrain> Aagni: oi... well there is a first time for everything
[07:54] <gnomefreak> FunnyLookinHat: ;)
[07:54] <the_hammer> hey funny lookin can ya help me install an eggdrop?
[07:54] <mimithebrain> Aagni: wow!! everyone... Kudos for Aagni!
[07:54] <FunnyLookinHat> the_hammer, eggdrop?
[07:55] <mimithebrain> :)
[07:55] <the_hammer> ya
[07:55] <tuliomgui> how do I put the tray bar in the bottom bar??
[07:55] <tuliomgui> please
[07:55] <Aagni> mimithebrain: thanks <blushes>
[07:55] <FunnyLookinHat> the_hammer, that would be... what is an eggdrop?
[07:55] <the_hammer> drag it
[07:55] <markedwards> its been a while that stuff has been down, huh?
[07:55] <FunnyLookinHat> !eggdrop
[07:55] <ubotu> I know nothing about eggdrop - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[07:55] <user_> ps only lists processes that been started from this terminal, i need to run ps -fu "username" to list all running processes right?
[07:55] <the_hammer> oh sorry its an irc bot
[07:55] <Aagni> mimithebrain: do i do a .. apt-get install build-essential?
[07:55] <Khisanth> Seveas: what the heck are you talking about? I have said anything in here for at least 24 hours!
[07:55] <mimithebrain> Aagni: now, it should be done right about now...
[07:55] <FunnyLookinHat> the_hammer, oooh. Ok sure
[07:55] <Seveas> Khisanth, ?
[07:55] <sidny4> any suggestions as to what program to use for my TV Tuner card?
[07:55] <mimithebrain> Aagni: yes, or you can use synaptic
[07:55] <som1> can i install an old version of something? and if so, how?
[07:55] <jbholman> ronzo: so i under preferences, i have clicked on "share my music" like you were suggesting, but it doesn't seem to help me see my roomates itunes share
[07:56] <markedwards> does anyone know of a package mirror that is currently operating?
[07:56] <Khisanth> [13:49:20] <Seveas/#ubuntu> +Khisanth, please don't repeat every 5 minutes
[07:56] <tuliomgui> how do I put the tray bar in the bottom bar??
[07:56] <Aurvandill> is there anyway to put everything into one ONE panel menu-button instead of the default 3? (application, places, system)
[07:56] <RonzO> make sure he is sharing it also jbholman
[07:56] <Aagni> mimithebrain: no, i think i am starting to like CLI
[07:56] <mimithebrain> Aagni: for ubuntu, you can use gksudo synaptic, or sudo -s, then synaptic... or just apt-get install whateveritis
[07:56] <Seveas> Khisanth, that was a <tab> error, sorry
[07:56] <jbholman> ronzo: he is set to share with the entire internet as of right now
[07:56] <basvg> when I playback whatever I've tried to record I only hear static
[07:56] <FunnyLookinHat> the_hammer, did you see that there is a package for eggdrop in the repos?
[07:56] <omac> markedwards:http://pastebin.ca/97375
[07:56] <mimithebrain> Aagni: CLI is much more efficient, that's what I like about linux
[07:56] <FunnyLookinHat> the_hammer, furthermore, I am willing to bet that there is a tutorial for it on ubuntuforums.org
[07:56] <jbholman> ronzo: but also, another windows xp box in the house can see his share and his can see that share
[07:56] <the_hammer> i got the bot sitting on desktop and extracted and cant seem to get it installed
[07:56] <Aagni> mimithebrain: i think so too .. i spent the last couple of years on AIX
[07:56] <Seveas> omac, the correct mirror list is in the topic
[07:56] <user_> dr: thx for your help :)
[07:56] <odat> Seveas, any idea?
[07:57] <the_hammer> ./configure doesnt do anything
[07:57] <markedwards> omac:thanks
[07:57] <gnomefreak> the_hammer: join #ubuntu-offtopic for setting up a bot
[07:57] <the_hammer> ok
[07:57] <RonzO> can he see your share jbholman ?
[07:57] <Aagni> mimithebrain: compared to it, linux is pretty neat
[07:57] <FunnyLookinHat> the_hammer, I'll meet you there
[07:57] <basvg> hmm, brb
[07:57] <mimithebrain> the_hammer, some package don't need ./configure... as for madwifi, it's straight to make ;)
[07:57] <abhinay> i want to upgrade my dapper drake to edgy eft , i downloaded edgy eft iso & burned it, can i upgrade my system to edgy eft without disturbing my system....
[07:57] <mimithebrain> Aagni: alright, you got it working?
[07:58] <Aagni> mimithebrain: wow, this thing automatically downloads all the dependencies too
[07:58] <jbholman> ronzo: yes they can see my shares
[07:58] <Aagni> mimithebrain: almost done
[07:58] <Aagni> mimithebrain: done
[07:58] <gnomefreak> abhinay: no your looking at alot of breakage and with the servers down you cant fdo it anyway
[07:58] <odat> anyone have any idea what the command is for setting the default java
[07:58] <mimithebrain> Aagni: that's why I like ubuntu too... no dependency h... um... problems
[07:58] <Aagni> mimithebrain: now i do a make right?
[07:58] <tuliomgui> how do I add the tray bar in the bottom panel??
[07:58] <mimithebrain> Aagni: yup!
[07:58] <Seveas> odat, update-java-alternatives (see its manpage for usage instructions)
[07:58] <RonzO> i dont know why it wont show it then, jbholman . i only used amarok and itunes...=/ anyone else have any ideas?
[07:58] <Seveas> tuliomgui, rightclick on it and select unlock
[07:58] <Seveas> then drag it to the desired location
[07:58] <mimithebrain> Aagni: it works?
[07:59] <mimithebrain> Aagni: no errors inside the first second?
[07:59] <Aagni> mimithebrain: do i need to sudo it?
[07:59] <mimithebrain> AAgni: no
[07:59] <mimithebrain> Aagni: not make... I never needed to make as root
[08:00] <mimithebrain> Aagni: only is you make as root before, then you will need to
[08:00] <tuliomgui> Seveas, i cant see this option
[08:00] <Aagni> mimithebrain: i got some errors
[08:00] <mimithebrain> Aagni: alright, show them
[08:00] <Sagotis> does at-get work for anyone?
[08:00] <singamayya> is us.archive.ubuntu.com   server down?!
[08:00] <Aagni> mimithebrain: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18702
[08:00] <mimithebrain> Aagni: one example of it
[08:00] <gnomefreak> Sagotis: READ THE TOPIC
[08:00] <Sagotis> err apt-get
[08:00] <mimithebrain> oh, that's easy :D
[08:00] <Aagni> mimithebrain: it is?
[08:01] <abhinay> i got a problem with my apt-get , whenever i try it , it is saying dpkg: error processing acpid (--configure): &  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code  , any suggestions... ?
[08:01] <mimithebrain> Aagni: install the kernel headers for the kernel version... (uname -a)
[08:01] <odat> Seveas, geez   nevermind   one little question that i find in the forums instantly turned into reading reading reading and a bunch of commands that don't work
[08:01] <Aagni> mimithebrain: how?
[08:01] <mimithebrain> Aagni: use synaptic for this one...
[08:02] <ubuntu__> how do i run a program via ssh that wont shut off when i close my terminal ?
[08:02] <mimithebrain> Aagni: it's something like linux-headers with version 2.6.15-23-368
[08:02] <jbroome> ubuntu__: check out screen
[08:02] <ubuntu__> jbroome: ?
[08:02] <ubuntu__> !screen
[08:02] <ubotu> screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen
[08:02] <Martouf> ubuntu__: read up on a thing called "nohup" in your shell
[08:02] <ubuntu__> ah ;)
[08:02] <Seveas> ubuntu__, put an & behind the program if it's not interactive, otherwise use screen
[08:02] <omac> seveas: mirrors referred to in the topic(http://tinyurl.com/g3e4g) are not as easy as providing the entries to put in the /etc/apt/sources.list as I demonstrated with http://pastebin.ca/97375 which I know works as we speak.
[08:02] <Aagni> mimithebrain: can i just do a apt-get install kernel-headers?
[08:02] <ubuntu__> Seveas: its a terminal app
[08:03] <AngryParsley> if you want to log the output but it's not interactive, use nohup
[08:03] <Martouf> '&' won't prevent the HUP signal from reaching the process
[08:03] <ubuntu__> AngryParsley: what command would i use?
[08:03] <abhinay> hello...., anybody help !!!
[08:03] <mimithebrain> Aagni: then, ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-[enter version here]  /lib/modules/[version here] /build
[08:03] <ubuntu__> run & nohup ?
[08:03] <WebMaven> I'm having huge problems with the electricsheep screensaver. Does anyone else use it?
[08:03] <AngryParsley> ubuntu__: "nohup blah &"
[08:03] <ubuntu__> oh ok
[08:03] <mimithebrain> Aagni: ah... no, I don't think so
[08:03] <Aagni> mimithebrain: sorry got dc
[08:03] <AngryParsley> where blah is the command you want to run
[08:03] <AngryParsley> all output will go to nohup.out
[08:03] <AngryParsley> I recommend screen though
[08:03] <AngryParsley> it's very handy
[08:04] <mimithebrain> Aagni: I'll find it for you
[08:04] <Aagni> mimithebrain: thanks!
[08:04] <AngryParsley> I'm having a problem getting the ubuntu live CD to boot on my ibook
[08:04] <AngryParsley> option + c doesn't work
[08:04] <Aagni> AngryParsley: are u using a CD for the PC version?
[08:04] <PsyBan-> how do i get icons on KDE desktop?
[08:04] <AngryParsley> and I can't see the CD in the list of startup disks
[08:04] <AngryParsley> Aagni: ppc
[08:04] <Snowfire> Does anyone know how to resize the terminal (tty1.tty2,etc) to a different resolution?
[08:05] <mimithebrain> Aagni: linux-headers-2.6.15-23
[08:05] <crayzee> Any idea when the servers will be back up?
[08:05] <togitogi> hi
[08:05] <Seveas> crayzee, no
[08:05] <gnomefreak> crayzee: no
[08:05] <mimithebrain> Aagni: emerge^H^H^H^H^H^H apt-get install that
[08:05] <AngryParsley> I already tried resetting my prom or whatever the non-volatile memory in apple's bios is
[08:05] <odat> anyone have the command?
[08:05] <AngryParsley> my ibook is the latest model, from december of 2005
[08:05] <Aagni> AngryParsley: by mistake maybe
[08:06] <AngryParsley> Aagni: I even tried a shipit PPC live CD
[08:06] <mimithebrain> Aagni: you're ok?
[08:06] <muep> any idea of what is the problem with the servers?
[08:06] <AngryParsley> when I insert the CD it's labeled Ubuntu_Powerpc_dapper
[08:06] <PsyBan-> how do i get icons on KDE desktop?
[08:06] <mimithebrain> Aagni: I might have to run soon...
[08:06] <AngryParsley> so I'm pretty sure it's the PPC
[08:06] <Aagni>  mimithebrain: ok
[08:06] <mimithebrain> Aagni: cool...
[08:07] <billfur> does the live install cd have a ntfs resizer?
[08:07] <PsyBan-> With what program do i get icons on KDE desktop?
[08:07] <Seveas> billfur, yes
[08:07] <Aagni> mimithebrain: i dc-ed again
[08:07] <interfear> is there a way to install without configuring apt? cuz at 84% the install halts because its configuring apt and the servers are down
[08:07] <Aurvandill> So... how can I make the "start" menu just one button in gnome?
[08:07] <Aagni> mimithebrain: what is the package name for linux headers?
[08:07] <John3437> AngryParsley,  just try holding dow the C on it's own after selecting a restart
[08:07] <mimithebrain> Aagni: what is dc-ed?
[08:07] <apokryphos> PsyBan-: #kubuntu
[08:07] <Aagni> mimithebrain: dc=disconnect
[08:07] <xange> anybody else having problems with apt?
[08:07] <Aurvandill> xange: topic
[08:07] <mimithebrain> Aagni, I'll fetch it form history
[08:07] <jbholman> interfear: which install cd are you using
[08:07] <HiP_P> topic
[08:07] <Aagni> mimithebrain: thanks
[08:07] <interfear> jbholman: 32bit dapper desktop
[08:07] <muep> Aurvandill: remove the usual menu and then add the older styled one
[08:07] <pirast> interfear: there should be a timeout.. otherwise just disconnect your network connection
[08:08] <AngryParsley> John3437: I also tried that
[08:08] <mimithebrain> linux-headers-2.6.15-23
[08:08] <AngryParsley> nothing
[08:08] <interfear> ok, ill try and wait for the timeout..
[08:08] <Aurvandill> muep: oh, ok. how?
[08:08] <xange> Aurvandill, thank god I thought I broke something :)
[08:08] <inazad_> How many time the servers will be down ?
[08:08] <spades> maybe the bot should /notice people on join the server is down?
[08:08] <Doenerporno> is there some command that shows me how much cpu each is eating?
[08:08] <AngryParsley> I even tried that key combo that removes the hard drive from the startup list
[08:08] <muep> Aurvandill: right-click the panel
[08:08] <mimithebrain> Aagni: linux-headers-2.6.15-23
[08:08] <Seveas> spades, chanserv does that
[08:08] <Aurvandill> xange: I thought my ISP was being a biatch
[08:08] <interfear> Doenerporno: uptime
[08:08] <Seveas> no one reads
[08:08] <Seveas> EVER
[08:08] <muep> Aurvandill: then select add to panel
[08:08] <AngryParsley> this thing just sat there trying to netboot all day
[08:08] <Seveas> which you just proved :
[08:08] <mimithebrain> Seveas: having a hard day?
[08:08] <spades> Seveas i knew it was down, i was just suggesting :P
[08:08] <AngryParsley> I can boot off the OS X DVD
[08:08] <muep> Aurvandill: and then browse the older menu thing
[08:09] <pirast> interfear: if there is none, please file a bug ubiquity
[08:09] <AngryParsley> holding down C works with that
[08:09] <Aagni> mimithebrain: its downloading away
[08:09] <HiP_P> also no-ones getting kick seveas
[08:09] <abhinay> gnomefreak,  i got a problem with my apt-get , whenever i try it , it is saying dpkg: error processing acpid (--configure): &  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code  , any suggestions... ?
[08:09] <HiP_P> *kicked
[08:09] <Aurvandill> muep: "menu bar" or "main menu"?
[08:09] <Doenerporno> interfear: i made a typo. a command that shows me how much each process is eating.
[08:09] <xange> Aurvandill, I did a fairly big install last night before I went to bed, some of them were unsigned
[08:09] <muep> Aurvandill: dunno, try both
[08:09] <jkelly2005> AngryParsley: hold down the alt key. that should give you the option to boot the cd.
[08:09] <Aurvandill> Thanks :D
[08:09] <muep> np
[08:09] <pirast> Doenerporno ps aux or top
[08:09] <spades> Seveas hah, had to scroll up, sorry, multiple networks on open and this chat usually flies so i didnt notice
[08:10] <ruoho> kind of offtopic but..anyone can tell me why i cant Ping default gateway? what does that mean?
[08:10] <mimithebrain> Aagni: I might have to go so listen carefully, after that's done. enter ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers[appropriate version]  /lib/modules/[appropriate version] /build, then run make again
[08:10] <Doenerporno> thanks!
[08:10] <ruoho> wtf
[08:10] <thnee> isn't linuxdcpp added to ubuntu repositories or have i done someting wrong in synaptics? its added to debians..
[08:10] <Ademan> hey, does anyone have any idea what some light weight and fast desktop environments are? i've got an old 300 mhz computer i want to bring back from the dead, and even xfce seems to be too much for it
[08:10] <Aagni> mimithebrain: ok boss
[08:11] <jbholman> Ademan: fluxbox
[08:11] <Seveas> thnee, dcpp package is called valknut
[08:11] <xange> so onto another issue....whenever I leave my box sit for a long time it seems to lockup. I wouldl say that its a black screensave because my monitor is on and they keyboard still works w/being able to put caps/num lock on but I'm not quite sure
[08:11] <Aurvandill> Ademan: fluxbox.. yeah, what he said
[08:11] <thnee> Seveas: isnt that some old stuff, not the real dc++?
[08:11] <jbholman> Ademan: it isn't exactly a complete environment, but it should be one of your best shots
[08:11] <RonzO> Ademan, check out Damn Small Linux
[08:11] <Doenerporno> two cupsys processes are eating 90% cpu...
[08:11] <Doenerporno> doing nothing.
[08:11] <mimithebrain> Aagni: I might have this wrong, hold on
[08:11] <thnee> Seveas: some dctc stuff?
[08:11] <Aurvandill> fluxbox takes some more work to customise, though
[08:11] <Aagni>  mimithebrain: make is on its way (yay!)
[08:11] <Seveas> thnee, never used dc++ so can't tell
[08:11] <Doenerporno> how can i restart cupsys?
[08:11] <Aagni> mimithebrain: oops
[08:12] <ruoho> fluxbox also is not a desktop but a window manager
[08:12] <Callahad> Doenerporno: sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
[08:12] <AngryParsley> jkelly2005: that just shows the hard drive and net boot
[08:12] <Ademan> jbholman: why do you say its an incomplete environment?
[08:12] <thnee> Seveas: iirc dctc ir banned on my favourite hubs, and its not pretty
[08:12] <Ademan> oh... that would explain that
[08:12] <Aagni> Doenerporno: /etc/init.d/cupsysd restart
[08:12] <Doenerporno> thanks, Callahad
[08:12] <Zambezi> Is the server down for much longer? Anyone know repos which make it possible for me to install with apt-get?
[08:12] <AngryParsley> if I try it with the OS X dvd, it shows it
[08:12] <Callahad> Aagni: irssi filename completion for the win :)
[08:12] <mimithebrain> Aagni: that's right... /lib/modules/[version] /build must symlink /usr/src/[version] 
[08:12] <thnee> Seveas: im looking for http://linuxdcpp.berlios.de
[08:12] <Aagni> mimithebrain: now what?
[08:12] <mimithebrain> ok
[08:12] <DarkAudit> odd this... News Rover in WINE is less resource-intensive than Pan running natively, even after thay rewrote pan to be lighter and faster
[08:12] <Aagni> mimithebrain: irssi?
[08:12] <jbholman> Ademan: well, maybe i'm wrong,  but i've always thought that kde and gnome were complete desktop environments and fluxbox  was not
[08:12] <mimithebrain> Aagni: copy paste uname -a
[08:12] <Tonren> Hey guys, how do I mount my ext3 hard drive from the Live CD? so I can mess with it?
[08:13] <jbroome> that za.archive.u.c mirror must be getting hammered
[08:13] <mimithebrain> Aagni, I'll tell you the exact command
[08:13] <AngryParsley> I wish I had other bootable CDs to try out, but right now it's almost as if the ubuntu CD is not a bootable CD
[08:13] <Tonren> jbholman: Fluxbox has always seemed "incomplete" to me, too
[08:13] <mimithebrain> Aagni: then type make and paste the error too
[08:13] <methanol> Will a Ubuntu liveCD boot up an intel mac?
[08:13] <Aagni> Linux mymachinebane 2.6.15-23-386 #1 PREEMPT Tue May 23 13:49:40 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
[08:13] <xange> is there a way to change the font/over all screen size of console?
[08:13] <Aagni> mimithebrain: no error
[08:13] <Callahad> Aagni: irssi is an irc client. It actually lets you do terminal-style tab completion of filenames, so just joking as to how I beat you to answer the cupsys restart question :)
[08:14] <mimithebrain> Aagni: no errors? then you done it correctly!
[08:14] <cykon> ...not sure...but i dont think macintel will be supported til edgy
[08:14] <jbholman> tonren: i was not meaning to say that it was incomplete, just that it wasn't a full-blown environment
[08:14] <Zambezi> Seveas, Sorry. Didn't see that.
[08:14] <jbholman> i wouldn't it want it to be any more "complete"
[08:14] <Aagni> mimithebrain: hurrah!!
[08:14] <Tonren> jbholman: Yeah, taht amkes sense
[08:14] <Aagni> mimithebrain: what next?
[08:14] <Tonren> So who knows how to mount my hard drive from teh Live CD?
[08:14] <Ademan> question, is fluxbox in the repositories? because it seems i'll hafta install ubuntu without Xorg or at least minus gnome, and then apt-get right?
[08:14] <Callahad> xange: check out man consolechars to change the font. For the screen size of the conosle, you'll want to look into framebuffer stuff
[08:14] <Aagni> Callahad: i see :))
[08:14] <ETronik> I just connected my USB flashdisk, but it doen's get automounted... can anyone help ?
[08:14] <mimithebrain> Aagni: what does build point to when you ls -l /lib/modules/[version]  ?
[08:14] <apokryphos> Tonren: /msg ubotu mount
[08:14] <xange> Callahad, thanks
[08:14] <Seveas> Ademan, it is
[08:14] <Tonren> Ademan: I was able to install with sudo apt-get fluxbox
[08:14] <Doenerporno> hey, the processes keep working after cupsys restart! what can i do?
[08:14] <Tonren> Thanks apokryphos
[08:14] <DarkAudit> Tonren: I eventually got tired of constantly having to manually update the Fluxbox menus to keep my custom settings in place
[08:14] <odat> any easy way to determine the write speed of my burner
[08:15] <Tonren> also, does anyone know what the difference between Apt-Get and Aptitude is on the command line?
[08:15] <Subhuman> odat, look on the front of it?
[08:15] <Aagni> mimithebrain: /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386
[08:15] <Seveas> Subhuman, ^_^
[08:15] <thnee> debian has the package "linuxdcpp" but i cant find it in ubuntu..
[08:15] <mimithebrain> Aagni: everything has been done correctly
[08:15] <Subhuman> Tonren, aptitude has a interface, and it also installs recommended packages.
[08:15] <Aagni> mimithebrain: yay. next
[08:15] <Aagni> ?
[08:15] <mimithebrain> Aagni: I was just paranoid then...
[08:15] <odat> Subhuman, not listed
[08:15] <Ademan> Tonren: cool, thanks, did that automatically switch you over to fluxbox? (since i'm hearing its just a WM not a desktop environment)
[08:15] <jbholman> tonren: there are many differences, but i don't know them all.  aptitude tends to remove unused packages as well
[08:15] <Callahad> xange: to change the resolution, specifically, try adding vga=792 to your kernel boot options in grub. 792= 1024x768x24
[08:15] <Aagni> mimithebrain: thats alright
[08:15] <amee2k> hi all
[08:15] <Tonren> Ademan: No; I logged out and switched to a fluxbox session
[08:15] <Spitty> odat, if you google the model #, you should get a hit or two with the info
[08:16] <Tonren> Subhuman: So the only difference on teh command line is dependency handling
[08:16] <mimithebrain> Aagni: using lsmod, look if you use any modules listen in restricted modules
[08:16] <xange> 792 = or vga = ?
[08:16] <Callahad> xange: vga=792
[08:16] <Aagni> mimithebrain: what do i look for?
[08:16] <Subhuman> Tonren, yes, but typing "sudo aptitude" brings you to a UI of sorts, while apt has no such interactive interface.
[08:16] <amee2k> is there another X ftp client for gnome other than nautilus?
[08:16] <Ademan> vga=792  is a fix for LCD screens
[08:16] <spades> amee2k gftp
[08:16] <GreySim> amee2k, gftpg
[08:16] <mimithebrain> Aagni: for example, do you use an ATI card, or nvidia... or fcdsl... or ltmodem...
[08:16] <aldo> Hi, from veri few minutes I see a test document containing this text "ciao". Have I a hole in my Ubuntu?
[08:17] <GreySim> Err, gftp.
[08:17] <xange> right, then I would want to change that to vga=1280x1024x24
[08:17] <jbholman> subhuman: but you can use aptitude without the gui
[08:17] <Aagni> mimithebrain: yes
[08:17] <Aagni> mimithebrain: ATI
[08:17] <Callahad> xange: oh, no, you use the value 792
[08:17] <jbholman> subhuman: but you can use aptitude without the *text gui
[08:17] <mimithebrain> Aagni: ok, have you installed fglrx or you didn't install that?
[08:17] <xange> ohh
[08:17] <xange> ok
[08:17] <Doenerporno> cupsys    6738 46.0  0.5   4676  2784 ?        R    19:58   8:43 /usr/bin/bjfilterpixusip3100 --imageres 600 --papersize a4 --paperload asf --media plain --bbox 9,13,
[08:17] <Subhuman> jbholman, yes and if you do all it does is install both the recommended and suggested packages, while apt just install the recommended ones.
[08:17] <Dewbie> I want to change my LCD to its native.. but I never have been able too
[08:17] <amee2k> hm... which repo? can't find it in synaptic?
[08:17] <Aagni> mimithebrain: there's a entry in there for ati, wlan
[08:17] <Doenerporno> this is ps aux output
[08:17] <Tonren> Hey guys, I'm on the live CD and I went to System -> Administration -> disks, but I can't enable file access on my root directory.  Any hints?
[08:18] <Dewbie> I change it, xorg won't use it
[08:18] <Doenerporno> how can i kill this process?
[08:18] <Callahad> xange: it's kind of weird, and I don't understand it. It's also common to use the hex representations of the numbers, so things like vga=0x31B
[08:18] <Tonren> I'm trying to backup something to my /home partition before I reinstall
[08:18] <xange> my box just froze, I"ve been having problems with this. how can I fgure out what is causing it?
[08:18] <Aagni> mimithebrain: whats that?
[08:18] <Callahad> xange: a list of resolutions and vga= value is at http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=06/05/04/1621224
[08:18] <Tonren> xange: Has it froze often?  Are there any pattenrs to when it freezes?
[08:18] <Seveas> xange, poke around in /var/log
[08:18] <mimithebrain> Aagni: that's fine... then if there is no modules in lsmod that is fglrx, nvidia, or begins with fc* or ltmodem, then you can uninstall linux-restricted-modules-[version] 
[08:18] <spades> Doenerporno (sudo) kill -9 6738
[08:18] <xange> Tonren, no, just all of a sudden
[08:18] <Doenerporno> spades: thank you
[08:19] <xange> Seveas, thanks
[08:19] <euly> hi
[08:19] <euly> i just installed ubuntu 6. i only get a resolution of 1024. any ideas, how i change it to 1280?
[08:19] <dash`> anybody want to talk me through how to compile something?
[08:19] <mimithebrain> Aagni: when that's done... you have to run make install in the madwifi directory as root, and run depmod -a...
[08:19] <Callahad> dash`: sure
[08:19] <Aagni> mimithebrain: there's one beginning with ati
[08:19] <Seveas> !resolution > euly
[08:19] <mimithebrain> Aagni: that's fine, ati != fglrx
[08:19] <dash`> Callahad :: I am rather inept, just to warn you
[08:19] <Callahad> dash`: no problem
[08:19] <Aagni> mimithebrain: oh, ok
[08:19] <euly> !resolution
[08:19] <Aagni> mimithebrain: so how do i uninstall?
[08:19] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type this in a console: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  -  To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[08:19] <dash`> I am trying to install a GUI client for XMMS2
[08:19] <dash`> its called Promoe
[08:19] <Tonren> Ugh.. I removed KDE and it broke everything
[08:20] <mimithebrain> Aagni, you can use synpatic, or apt-get uninstall linux-restricted-modules-[version] 
[08:20] <Tonren> Is there a GNOME clipboard manager daemon?
[08:20] <mimithebrain> Aagni, sorry, that's apt-get remove
[08:21] <Ademan> does fluxbox have any sort of panel support? and more importantly can i add launcher items to it and menus (similar to the gnome main menu)
[08:21] <dash`> Callahad :: I am unregistered atm, that may be blocking our query, not sure
[08:21] <mimithebrain> "This APT has Super Cow Powers. Moo!"
[08:21] <santa99> good evening, I have a problem with my shutdown. When i boot my computer with apm=on apm=power-off acpi=off my computer shutdown correctly. When i boot my computer normal without these boot parameters my computer comes only to Will now halt and hangs there and i have to shutdown with the power button. The problem is I need the acpi for my processor and sound. So any ideas what i could do ?
[08:21] <Callahad> dash`: ah
[08:21] <mimithebrain> Aagni: r u ok?
[08:21] <Aagni> mimithebrain: uninstalling
[08:21] <Callahad> dash`: well, in that case, off to #helpingdash?
[08:22] <Aagni> mimithebrain: done
[08:22] <euly> how can i switch off these "someone has joined #ubuntu" messages?
[08:22] <dash`> Callahad :: sure
[08:22] <mimithebrain> Aagni: once that's done, sudo make install
[08:22] <pecisk_> euly: X-chat client?
[08:22] <mimithebrain> Aagni: then sudo depmod -a
[08:22] <euly> pecisk_: irc
[08:22] <illvarg-xgl> where did ubuntu.com go?
[08:22] <pecisk_> euly: Mirc?
[08:22] <Tonren> illvarg-xgl: See topic
[08:22] <Aagni> mimithebrain: done both install and depmod
[08:22] <Bonez56> illvarg-xgl: for vacation
[08:22] <euly> pecisk_: i just typed irc in the bash
[08:22] <illvarg-xgl> Tonus: hehe, ok
[08:22] <mimithebrain> Aagni, ok... remember this, if you have problems, you can reboot, jump in a console, and run sudo modprobe ath_pci to reactivate your wireless
[08:23] <euly> and how can i change the background color to black? white is not looking good.
[08:23] <Giiinciuxx> labux
[08:23] <santa99> no ideas
[08:23] <mimithebrain> Aagni: are you using wireless right now?
[08:23] <pecisk_> euly: check out irssi
[08:23] <Aagni> mimithebrain: yes
[08:23] <pecisk_> euly: manual I mean
[08:23] <Aagni> mimithebrain: so i need to dc then?
[08:23] <jkelly2005> does anyone know of an alternative to security.ubuntu.com. anyone know a mirror of security.ubuntu.com?
[08:24] <mimithebrain> Aagni: so, you are probably running on the old wireless drivers, which is fine
[08:24] <mimithebrain> Aagni: no you don't
[08:24] <[Wiebel] > anyone using kwlan here?
[08:24] <Aagni> mimithebrain: oh, ok
[08:24] <Bergcube> santa99~  I have seen exactly the same problem on a laptop, but didn't find any solution.  Would be interesting if you figured it out.
[08:24] <Aagni> mimithebrain: so when will this new driver come into effect
[08:24] <mimithebrain> Aagni: if you reboot, all old modules will be unloaded from memory and the new ones will jump in
[08:24] <dee> hello. have someone some experiences with dosemu? the program quits everytime I launch it.
[08:24] <Aagni> mimithebrain: can i do that now?
[08:25] <PsyBan-> whats KDE:s desktop Manager?
[08:25] <santa99> Bergcube, the problem is i have no idea what I could do against this problem
[08:25] <mimithebrain> Aagni: then, if they don't come up, just sudo depmod -a and sudo modprobe ath_pci. But that shouldn't happen
[08:25] <PsyBan-> nautilus is gnomes
[08:25] <PsyBan-> what is KDE:s
[08:25] <euly> pecisk_: i did "man irssi". no mention of "color" or "messages"
[08:25] <Aagni> mimithebrain: got it <writing it down>
[08:25] <euly> pecisk_: i did "man irssi". no mention of "color" or "messages"
[08:25] <mimithebrain> Aagni: you can reboot, it's better than having you unload every single madwifi modules :P
[08:25] <apokryphos> PsyBan-: it's not its desktop manager, it's its File Manager. And KDE is Konqueror, as I said.
[08:25] <Subhuman> PsyBan-, kde use their own, but their sorta manager is konqueror.
[08:25] <wuzzy> i all! stupid as i am i've managed to change the permissions on every file in my home dir and below to 644. Now i cant even login to gnome with that user. anyone have a pointer on what to do? please...
[08:25] <apokryphos> *KDE's
[08:25] <Aagni> mimithebrain: right.. in that case brb
[08:25] <mimithebrain> Aagni: depmod -a is to update the module dependecies and make the new modules ready to use
[08:25] <PsyBan-> apokryphos, you shut up
[08:25] <santa99> Bergcube, maybe to change the shutdown scripts to use apm functions
[08:25] <euly> wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto is not working.. anybody here knows how to change resolution to 1280 on ubuntu?
[08:25] <Bergcube> santa99~  Then we're two.......
[08:25] <mimithebrain> Aagni: modprobe activates modules and loads em in memory
[08:25] <Aagni> mimithebrain: ok
[08:26] <mimithebrain> Aagni: btw
[08:26] <Aagni> mimithebrain: yes
[08:26] <Aagni> ?
[08:26] <santa99> Bergcube, so you have the same problem ?
[08:26] <Kibou> apokryphos: wth... "nice" kick
[08:26] <mimithebrain> Aagni: congratualation on your first compilling, and first module installation
[08:26] <simon_> euly: http://www.irssi.org/themes
[08:26] <mimithebrain> Aagni: if you know this, you will have relativelly few problems with linux
[08:26] <apokryphos> Kibou: sorry?
[08:26] <Aagni> mimithebrain: thanks (yay!!!!!!!!!!!) and thanks for making this happen
[08:26] <Motoko-chan> Whole Wiki is down for me, so it may not be just you, euly
[08:26] <mimithebrain> Aagni: enjoy ubuntu :)
[08:26] <Bergcube> santa99~  No, not me.  Someone with a laptop I looked at.  But this is a friend so the laptop is sort of within reach...
[08:26] <Aagni> mimithebrain: be right back aND THANKS!
[08:26] <Aagni> mimithebrain: oops .. sorry
[08:26] <mimithebrain> Aagni, hold on
[08:27] <santa99> Bergcube, understand this problem is really frustrating
[08:27] <Motoko-chan> So, since the wiki is down, I need some help getting WPA working on my Intel card. Anyone want to assist?
[08:27] <mimithebrain> Aagni: I'll give you my email address, so you can reach me in *case* it fails
[08:27] <mimithebrain> oh, he's gone :(
[08:27] <mimithebrain> well, should work...
[08:27] <Bergcube> santa99~  Yes, I agree.  And seems sort of needless.  Have you considered writing to the mailing list?
[08:27] <mimithebrain> I don't see why not, I've done it so many times before...
[08:27] <livingdaylight> anyone else get problems with synaptic?
[08:27] <livingdaylight> W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/y/yakuake/yakuake_2.7.5-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
[08:28] <santa99> Bergcube, I will report when I find a solution
[08:28] <P4W3R> hi
[08:28] <mimithebrain> livingdaylight: yeesss!!!
[08:28] <Subdee> livingdaylight, check the topic
[08:28] <mimithebrain> Reps are doooowwwn
[08:28] <santa99> Bergcube, not found the time to do this
[08:28] <dee> livingdaylight: ubuntu.com is down.
[08:28] <livingdaylight> ok, sorry guys, didn't read the topic
[08:28] <regeya> !mirrors
[08:28] <ubotu> Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive
[08:28] <mimithebrain> libingdaylight: beware, Seveas will kick you out if you don't read the topic ;)
[08:28] <Motoko-chan> So... WPA assist anyone?
[08:28] <livingdaylight> sorry seveas
[08:28] <P4W3R> a working mirror?
[08:28] <P4W3R> ... what happened?
[08:29] <P4W3R> an attack?
[08:29] <regeya> !tell P4W3R about mirrors
[08:29] <RonzO>  #ubnutu should pm a message saying ubuntu servers are down...
[08:29] <livingdaylight> i am reassured then, although i was looking forward to instaliling Yakuake
[08:29] <mimithebrain> P4W3R: we... don't... know
[08:29] <Bergcube> santa99~  Good luck!  BRB.................
[08:29] <RonzO> when people log on
[08:29] <Subdee>  [#ubuntu]  Many ubuntu services are down - people are working to restore them - DO NOT ASK, we don't know more
[08:29] <xange> !tell xange about mirrors
[08:29] <Motoko-chan> I'm guessing someone messed up a route or something.
[08:29] <santa99> Bergcube, Thanks I will need it :)
[08:29] <livingdaylight> Ronz: Yea!
[08:29] <apokryphos> RonzO: no, that's unnecessary spam; an entrymsg and note in the /topic is the best idea
[08:29] <P4W3R> is not spam...
[08:30] <livingdaylight> apokryphos: no it isn't. I don't read the topic everytime i come in
[08:30] <gatekeeper> gatekeeper > mirrors
[08:30] <apokryphos> livingdaylight: you should
[08:30] <livingdaylight> P4W3R: i agree
[08:30] <apokryphos> and you certianly should read the entrymsg
[08:30] <P4W3R> i read topic...
[08:30] <gatekeeper> !gatekeeper > mirrors
[08:30] <mimi_gone> hey!
[08:30] <Subdee> you should read the topic then
[08:30] <Subdee> that's why it exists
[08:30] <RonzO> apokryphos, with the amount of people that have come in asking about it, i believe that it would do away with the spam in this channel imo
[08:30] <P4W3R> because topic has the true
[08:30] <livingdaylight> apokryphos: well, i don't everytime i come in, which could be servral timea a day
[08:30] <mimithebrain> Aagni: you're back!

[08:30] <P4W3R> ^^
[08:30] <mimithebrain> Aagni: it worked?
[08:30] <euly> ups.. :)
[08:30] <Aagni> mimithebrain: yeah!
[08:30] <xange> I've gotten so used to the topic having nothing crucial in it that I've stopped reading it :-/
[08:30] <apokryphos> especially if you're thinking about "servers being down". If they are, it's going to be, erm, quite common.
[08:30] <mimithebrain> Aagni: niiiiiiiiice :d
[08:30] <mimithebrain> :D*
[08:30] <Aagni> mimithebrain: yippeee
[08:30] <apokryphos> RonzO: actually, it wouldn't; we've tried, and it didn't help at all.
[08:30] <livingdaylight> apokryphos: get real
[08:31] <Aagni> mimithebrain: well,  ineed to wait for a while and see if the connection drops
[08:31] <apokryphos> livingdaylight: I'm quite real, I assure you.
[08:31] <mimithebrain> Aagni: that should take care of spontaneous crashes and dropped connections
[08:31] <livingdaylight> ^^
[08:31] <sparkleytone> any USB gurus out there?
[08:31] <apokryphos> !anyone
[08:31] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?

[08:33] <_al_> fourat: what is your problem with skype?
[08:33] <sparkleytone> webmin is just tough to maintain in the debian way
[08:33] <livingdaylight> sparkleytone:  but RonzO is too humble to admit it
[08:33] <fourat> _al_, sound sound sound sound sound
[08:34] <livingdaylight>  :)
[08:34] <sparkleytone> well livingdaylight, i am very very competent and i cannot for the life of me figure this out
[08:34] <RonzO> whats the file system of the drive, sparkleytone
[08:34] <delire_> i'm sure you've been asked this incessantly all day, but any news on *why* servers are down?
[08:34] <zealot> !webmin
[08:34] <ubotu> webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. Please avoid using it.
[08:34] <Seveas> delire_, no
[08:34] <_al_> fourat: have you tried 1.3 beta?
[08:34] <fourat> _al_, with apt-get ?
[08:34] <delire_> Seveas: interesting, and disturbing.
[08:35] <bthornton> RE: "Many Ubuntu services are down"... where can I find the most recent *.deb for package "X" on one of these mirrors?  All I can find are ISOs.
[08:35] <_al_> fourat: no
[08:35] <fourat> compiling it ?
[08:35] <Seveas> delire_, the people in charge know what's wrong - we don't
[08:35] <fourat> does it work ?
[08:35] <_al_> fourat: http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/13beta.html
[08:35] <_al_> yes
[08:35] <illicit_> Anyone have a mirror i can use?
[08:35] <_al_> it uses alsa
[08:35] <FurryNemesis> naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh
[08:35] <Seveas> illicit_, /topic
[08:35] <sparkleytone> RonzO: that's another symptom of the problem.  i have partitioned it into 3 partitions and have formatted the first two.  both with ext3 w/ dir_index
[08:35] <sparkleytone> formatting took FOREVER
 fourat: I believe skype is in the dapper-commercial repository << you're better off downloading version 1.3 beta from the official skype site
[08:35] <sparkleytone> writing the inode tables
[08:35] <sparkleytone> which basically foreshadowed my performance issues
[08:35] <delire_> Seveas: right.. let's hope it's not down for malevolent reasons.
[08:35] <dyn-afk> the 1.3 beta uses ALSA for sound
[08:35] <Seveas> delire_, it's not
[08:36] <dyn-afk> with the 1.2 version I can't get the sound working but with the 1.3 version it just works :)
[08:36] <zealot> dyn-afk: fourat: I didn't know 1.3 used Alsa. If it does, use that
[08:36] <dyn-afk> yep
[08:36] <fourat> should i get the deb file or the source ?
[08:36] <zealot> dyn-afk: Older skype uses OSS aka /dev/dsp which is deprecated
[08:36] <fourat> wops :)
[08:36] <fourat> there's no source
[08:36] <fourat> hahah
[08:36] <fourat> it's closed
[08:37] <bthornton> With the default Ubuntu servers being down, where can I go to find the most recent openvpn*.deb ?  I've hit up the link at the top of the page but the mirrors only seem to have Ubuntu ISOs.
[08:37] <delire_> Seveas: well that's something of a relief
[08:37] <aeth> try launchpad.net
[08:37] <Seveas> aeth, that's down
[08:37] <santa99> where do i find the shutdown scripts which are used by acpi ?
[08:37] <zealot> bhtornton: change *.archive.ubuntu.com to ie.archive.ubuntu.com in /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:37] <Seveas> santa99, /etc/init.d and /etc/acpi
[08:37] <sparkleytone> whoa the servers are down?  i def noticed the wiki was down last night.  that sucks
[08:37] <profoX`> is mozilla-mplayer gone ? it's not on the be mirror
[08:38] <bthornton> zealot: grazie.
[08:38] <santa99> Seveas, any idea how they are named ?
[08:38] <Seveas> santa99, no
[08:38] <_al_> fourat: have you tried Wengophone?
 dyn-afk: Older skype uses OSS aka /dev/dsp which is deprecated << I know and according from the information on the skype forums it is a pain in the ass
[08:38] <ignem> Q about ubuntu and games: quake2 cannot open /dev/dsp in dapper, howto fix?
[08:38] <whadar> any alternatives to webmin out there?
[08:38] <Bonez56> does anyone know of any good samba guides? i followed one on ubuntuguide.org but I still can't get it to work. when windows users browse my shares it fails authentication, even though they have been added to the samba group and have permission to read/write my shares.
[08:38] <_al_> open source voip software supporting IM services
[08:38] <zealot> santa99: /etc/init.d/acpid and /etc/init.d/acpi-support
[08:39] <zealot> Bonez56: I know the problem
[08:39] <sparkleytone> RonzO: anything?
 should i get the deb file or the source ? << debt file, just double click it once you've downloaded it and press the install button
[08:39] <santa99> zealot,  this are the shutdown scripts ?
[08:39] <tristanmike> !tell Bonez56 about ubuntuguide
[08:39] <ubotu> I know nothing about ubuntuguide - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[08:39] <Bonez56> zealot: do you know what I am doing wrong?
[08:39] <Bonez56> !tell tristanmike how to read
[08:39] <ubotu> I know nothing about tell tristanmike how to read - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[08:39] <Seveas> Bonez56, don't play with the bot
[08:39] <apokryphos> Bonez56: and, please be kind
[08:40] <zealot> santa99: startup and shutdown scripts are the same, yes.
[08:40] <zealot> Bonez56: sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf
[08:40] <Bonez56> I will be kind but if he had of read my whole text he would have seen that I have already followed the guide.
[08:40] <tristanmike> Bonez56: ubotu used to say that the site is out of date and can be known to break machines, I was trying to do you a favor, sorry :'(
[08:40] <santa99> zealot, thx
[08:40] <zealot> find where it says: security = user and change it to security = share
[08:40] <zealot> santa99: that took me a bit to figure out
[08:40] <dyn-afk> Bonez56 have you tried the official samba site? it has great documentation with some examples, that might help you
[08:40] <Seveas> tristanmike, apparently ubuntuguide.org has improved
[08:40] <Bonez56> tristanmike: no worries :) cheers anyway
[08:40] <thnee> scons tells me gtk+ >= 2.6 not found, but i have no clue what package to install.. ive searched after gtk+ but only found a bunch of other packages..
[08:40] <apokryphos> tristanmike: it's a wiki now
[08:41] <linuxcrazy_> great!
[08:41] <linuxcrazy_> lol
[08:41] <Bonez56> zealot: ok I have that file open
[08:41] <linuxcrazy_> what file is it?
[08:41] <linuxcrazy_> src?
[08:41] <mimithebrain> anyone: did Aagni have any more problems?
[08:41] <linuxcrazy_> idk
[08:41] <zealot> Bonez56: CTRL K and type security
[08:41] <Bonez56> zealot: security=user
[08:41] <tristanmike> thanx Seveas and apokryphos
[08:42] <zealot> Bonez56: change it to security = share
[08:42] <linuxcrazy_> np
[08:42] <profoX`> !info mplayer-mozilla
[08:42] <linuxcrazy_> lol
[08:42] <ubotu> Package mplayer-mozilla does not exist in dapper
[08:42] <Bonez56> zealot: ok, is that all i need to do?
[08:42] <dyn-afk> if you use security = user make sure you add the user accounts to the samba passwd file with smbpasswd -a username
[08:42] <profoX`> !info mozilla-mplayer
[08:42] <ubotu> mozilla-mplayer: MPlayer-Plugin for Mozilla. In repository multiverse, is optional. Version 3.17-1ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 421 kB, installed size 1500 kB
[08:42] <humanpersonman> !info mozilla-mplayer
[08:42] <zealot> Bonez56: Then try this: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
[08:43] <linuxcrazy_> apt-get install Mplayer-plugin
[08:43] <profoX`> i don't have that package in multiverse??
[08:43] <Bonez56> zealot: ok ill be back in a minute ill just test it :)
[08:43] <zealot> Bonez56: with security = share, you dont have to run any extra commands afterwords though
[08:43] <humanpersonman> is is sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer i do believe
[08:43] <linuxcrazy_> apt-get install mozilla-mplayer
[08:43] <linuxcrazy_> sudo*
[08:43] <apokryphos> profoX`: you should. Perhaps you don't have Multiverse enabled then.
[08:43] <linuxcrazy_> ya
[08:43] <profoX`> i have multiverse enabled
[08:44] <apokryphos> profoX`: then you would have that package in synaptic, if you recently updated your sources.
[08:44] <linuxcrazy_> r u sure? check your repos and make sure there's multivers on the univers lines
[08:44] <profoX`> ah no wait.. grrr.. this is so annoying.. i'm using different sources.list file because us mirror is down
[08:44] <nexus___> YA it sucks realy..
[08:44] <linuxcrazy_> lol
[08:44] <nexus___> but what ever :P
[08:44] <profoX`> thanks i have to edit it a bit
[08:44] <nexus___> hm..i wait..

[08:45] <humanpersonman> if you don't care to do through the trouble
[08:45] <linuxcrazy_> where you see Universe, add multiverse next to it I think
[08:45] <livingdaylight> HI GUYS, are the repos still down?
[08:45] <linuxcrazy_> sudo dpkg mozilla-mplayer_3.17-1ubuntu1_i386.deb
[08:45] <profoX`> thanks humanpersonman :) but i already did the trouble ;) but thanks alot
[08:45] <profoX`> very kind ;)
[08:45] <mimithebrain> yesss!!!11oneone
[08:45] <moebius_> us seems to be back
[08:45] <jbholman> i am still not having any luch seeing my roommates itunes shares on banshee or rhythmbox (banshee can see the rhythmbox share i've enabled on the same computer) and i have turned my roommates firewalls completely off (they are both running xp).  Has anyone had luch with either banshee/rhythmbox doing what i am trying to do? if so, did you have to make any adjustments to a config file or something like that?
[08:45] <linuxcrazy_> cool
[08:45] <Jey> is there a specific channel for amd64 users, or do those questions go in here too ?
[08:46] <linuxcrazy_> pastebin!!!!

[08:46] <mimithebrain> we don't know*
[08:46] <Bonez56> zealot: ok that seems to be working a bit better, but when I access a share it automatically shows up as bonez\Guest as the username, and it's greyed out. I can't change it to any other user
[08:46] <profoX`> sybec: no one knows
[08:46] <nexus___> ddos i think lol
[08:46] <nexu> someone didnt paid the bills ?
[08:46] <Seveas> nexus___, no

[08:46] <mimithebrain> Seveas proFox: why not?
[08:46] <nexus___> yea
[08:46] <linuxcrazy_> lol
[08:46] <nexu> :P
[08:46] <Seveas> there are connectivity problems.
[08:46] <nexus___> and so many ubuntu mirriors are down..
[08:47] <nexus___> thats very streange..
[08:47] <linuxcrazy_> why?
[08:47] <humanpersonman> ubuntu server crashed, hmm they should switch that thing over to windows server edition, that thing never crashes
[08:47] <phunkalicious> yes :(
[08:47] <nexus___> *strange
[08:47] <aliljet> !webmin
[08:47] <ubotu> webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. Please avoid using it.
[08:47] <linuxcrazy_> lol

[08:47] <linuxcrazy_> yuck
[08:47] <Kibou> put some nice win98 server out there
[08:47] <tristanmike> LOL @ Seveas
[08:47] <profoX`> omfg :P
[08:47] <linuxcrazy_> rofl
[08:47] <mimithebrain> that didn't take long
[08:47] <zealot> Bonez56: Then change it back to user and then run smbpasswd -a username for whatever users you want added.
[08:47] <aliljet> is there any alternative to webmin on ubuntu?
[08:47] <Bonez56> zealot: that's how I had it before, but i'll try it again now.
[08:47] <linuxcrazy_> aliljet: don't swear on this server lol
[08:47] <nexus___> out some fat32 ubuntu servers ;) very secure hehe =)
[08:47] <profoX`> humanpersonman was just joking.. as was Kibou.. kick, okay, but ban :/
[08:47] <zealot> Bonez56: But you didn't try smbpasswd -a username I bet
[08:47] <mimithebrain> Seveas: just curious, how many bans today? :)
[08:48] <Bonez56> zealot: yes I did
[08:48] <Seveas> mimithebrain, a few dozen but I cleaned most out alreday
[08:48] <Bonez56> zealot: just testing now
[08:48] <mimithebrain> Seveas: wow...
[08:48] <Bonez56> zealot: it's doing the authentication failure problem again.
[08:48] <phunkalicious> man i haven't been able to hit the repositories for two days now :/
[08:48] <mimithebrain> have they been down that long??
[08:49] <livingdaylight> hey, what happened?
[08:49] <Seveas> mimithebrain, us.archove has been down that long
[08:49] <livingdaylight> Seveas: did you boot me?
[08:49] <nexus___> lol no one know what...
[08:49] <phunkalicious> i dunno, mine just point to archive.ubuntu.com, maybe there are some others i can point too?
[08:49] <mimithebrain> it seemed like friday I was able to get ethereal
[08:49] <Bonez56> zealot: it shows the username as MYPCNAME\mark (mark is the account I just set an smbpasswd for)
[08:49] <Seveas> but that's unrelated to the canonical dc outage
[08:49] <nixternal> primary and backup power failures at the datacenter
[08:49] <mimithebrain> ouch...
[08:49] <mikechml> will using de.archive give me any problems?
[08:49] <phunkalicious> i tried adding us.archive but that didn't resolve :/
[08:50] <zealot> phunkalicious: try ie.archive instead of us
[08:50] <regeya> oy vey
[08:50] <nexu> http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=www.ubuntu.com
[08:50] <phunkalicious> ok zealot

[08:51] <loop1> at least euro servers are working
[08:51] <Bonez56> zealot: do u have any further ideas?
[08:51] <apokryphos> loop1: some of them are, some aren't.
[08:51] <jcapote> it seems that archive.ubuntu.com is down...
[08:51] <livingdaylight> ubuntuforums is full?
[08:51] <zealot> Bonez56: No, that worked for me

[08:57] <mikechml> not sure about kubuntu, but ubuntu does definately

[08:57] <apokryphos> dingus9: look for external repositories
[08:57] <linuzo> can't update
[08:57] <gatekeeper> Bonez56: not sure about gnome but in kde if you go to system settings sharing you can set up shares there
[08:58] <eternalswd> for mplayer 1.0pre8, try the debs from http://www.debian-multimedia.org
[08:58] <pekay> BioVorE: counter?
[08:58] <braddock> I woudl think you could get a pretty decent measurement by looking at the repo server logs.
[08:58] <braddock> of how many users etc.
[08:58] <dingus9> apokryphos: now why would I be aking if there was a way to disable that if it didn't do that by default

[08:59] <Tommy> kubuntu still crashing after reinstalling :(
 dyn-afk: only over 3000 people use ubuntu? << only the registered people with an active account (you can delete your account if you stop using ubuntu), it's just an indicator
[08:59] <euly> anybody here who can tell me how to change the screen reolution under ubuntu to 1280x1024?
[08:59] <JohnDoe> hi i just installed ubuntu but i get failure repository security

[09:00] <Seveas> !resolution > euly
[09:00] <dyn-afk> the ubuntu counter project also counts the people who use kubuntu, edubuntu, etc.
[09:00] <apokryphos> ozubu: it says you don't have the kernel includes; /msg ubotu headers
[09:00] <krogh> euly: run "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:00] <dyn-afk> so not just ubuntu
[09:00] <JohnDoe> hi i just installed ubuntu but i get failure repository security
[09:00] <Symgeosis> euly, The easiest way is to sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:00] <BioVorE> JohnDoe: read the topic

[09:00] <euly> Seceas: did that, but theres just an url that dont work
[09:00] <BioVorE> aliljet: the line looks correct to me..
[09:00] <apokryphos> euly: use Google's Cache
[09:00] <Seveas> euly, then wait for the DC to power up again
[09:01] <dingus9> apokryphos: thats my point dude I just want to make it not look for them, it keeps crashing when it comes to the repos, since some are down, I was just woundering if it would could be told to not scan them
[09:01] <apokryphos> dingus9: as I said, I was pretty sure it doesn't by default.
[09:01] <Joyrider> jonass did you install linux-restricted-modules for -26 as well?
[09:01] <mikechml> dingus9: it should skip it if you leave it long enough
[09:01] <ozubu> apokryphos, what are this headers I tought I can use only apt-get install build-essential
[09:01] <euly> Symgeosis: uh.. that thing asks me stuff about my keyboard...
[09:01] <skavenge> or unplugyour etherneet
[09:01] <apokryphos> ozubu: nope
[09:02] <BioVorE> aliljet: I just tried it here and it worked
[09:02] <husky> http://en.fon.com/
[09:02] <linuxboyfrien1> many ubuntu services are down, from where I can get detailed information about this?
[09:02] <euly> krogh: same answe as to Symgeosis above...
[09:02] <Bonez56> how do you restart inetd?
[09:02] <Seveas> linuxboyfrien1, nowhere
[09:02] <Joyrider> there is no detailed information because people are busy working to fix it!
[09:02] <Viper550> Everything is down, even the Wiki!
[09:02] <ozubu> ok - that's really annoying what happend to security servers ? I can't install any package 2day...
[09:02] <mikechml> panic!
[09:02] <ozubu> apokryphos, you know what is it ?
[09:02] <euly> Bonez56: /etc/init.d/inetd restart ?

[09:03] <ozubu> apokryphos, 10x
[09:03] <ozubu> apokryphos, since how long is this ?
[09:03] <rexbron> How does Xgl or aiglx affect battery life?
[09:03] <Seveas> linuxboyfrien1, if I say nowhere, I mean nowhere
[09:03] <troy1of2> Ubuntu is probably being attacked by hackers from Microsoft....ticked off for taking too many users away. ;-)
[09:03] <mrstocks> What is the package to install the ms ttf fonts like verdana ect ?
[09:03] <geekdom> Hey I am installing xubuntu and it does not like the video.  I can fix it later and would like to just do a text install.  Is that possable ?
[09:03] <grimzy> security.ubuntu.com down?
[09:03] <Seveas> rexbron, badly
[09:03] <apokryphos> ozubu: just over a day I believe
[09:03] <Symgeosis> euly, Yeah. Thats normal about the keyboard. Just go through the steps.
[09:03] <Viper550> You heard about that new GTK engine, Murrine?
[09:03] <Joyrider> mrstocks: msttcorefonts
[09:04] <rexbron> hmmm
[09:04] <mrstocks> thx
[09:04] <Qwell> So, I'm doing a netboot...  and when it goes to get the installer components, it says it can't find kernel modules that match my running kernel
[09:04] <rexbron> guess installing it is a bad idea?
[09:04] <Jeandre> Screensaver comes up when viewing DVD using xine. Where can I change this?
[09:04] <wayward> rexbron, I'd say Xgl conserves battery life over CPU-intensive raster-based X servers. O:-)
[09:04] <eniac_petrov> ubuntu.com not works also!
[09:04] <euly> apokryphos: theres no google cache of it...
[09:04] <FunnyLookinHat> so uh, when is the us ubuntu repo going to be back up?   lol
[09:04] <dingus9> rexbron: I have been running it for about a month aiglx, my batter life doesn't seem to have changed much
[09:04] <apokryphos> euly: which page?
[09:04] <Qwell> It worked fine last night, with the archive.ubuntu.com mirror
[09:04] <apokryphos> it's down now
[09:04] <linuxboyfrien1> Seveas: then how do people know that the services are down (as it is set as topic today)?
[09:04] <Qwell> yes, and I'm using a different one
[09:05] <eniac_petrov> Seveas , I know
[09:05] <mrstocks> E: Package msttcorefonts has no installation candidate

[09:05] <Warbo> Ademan: "Big thing"?
[09:05] <Foobal> err, mnp. sorry.
[09:06] <HedgeMage> lol
[09:06] <HedgeMage> poor Seveas
[09:06] <Bonez56> rebooting
[09:06] <Viper550> Excuse me?
[09:06] <euly> still looking for info on how to set the screen resolution to 1280x1024.
[09:06] <ozubu> apokryphos, so is ubuntu servers under attack or something like this ?
[09:06] <Warbo> !fixres
[09:06] <Seveas> HedgeMage, now that you're not staff I can even kick you, tempting! 
[09:06] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type this in a console: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  -  To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[09:06] <PacketScan> euly, xorg.conf?
[09:06] <BioVorE> euly: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:06] <apokryphos> ozubu: no, nothing like that.
[09:06] <HedgeMage> Seveas: You could kick me when I was staff, too, so it's not nearly so interesting :P
[09:06] <Ademan> Warbo: i dunno, i guess i should have said "rather than panels is enlightenment's "main menu" a dock?"
[09:06] <ozubu> apokryphos, so how come so many servers are down ?
[09:07] <HedgeMage> Seveas: of course, if it is still interesting, go for it, you'll need the stress relief after today :P
[09:07] <euly> One question before I continue with the resolution thingy: how do I disable these "so and so has joined #ubuntu" lines in irssi?
[09:07] <Warbo> Ademan: Enlightenment uses a click-on-the-desktop menu like Fluxbox
[09:07] <Seveas> HedgeMage, hehe
[09:07] <Joyrider> ozubu: because they are all in the same datacenter, and presumably there is a big problem at that datacenter
[09:07] <bigfoot1> how can i play an FLV file?
 Warbo: i dunno, i guess i should have said "rather than panels is enlightenment's "main menu" a dock?" << somewhat
[09:07] <Warbo> bigfoot1: MPlayer
[09:07] <dyn-afk> more like icons on a desktop
[09:07] <mrstocks> heh ... all pinging out..
[09:08] <euly> PacketScan, BioVorE: Yes, I already put "1280" in the modes lines, but that didnt help :(
[09:08] <Cody`> Does the notice about down ubuntu services include some of the repos?
[09:08] <dyn-afk> enlightenment is a very simple window manager Ademan
[09:08] <Warbo> Cody`: Yes
[09:08] <Seveas> Cody`, yes
[09:08] <ozubu> Joyrider, so would you recommend editting sources.list to get over the problem ?
[09:08] <Cody`> Thanks
[09:08] <Symgeosis> Back to planet mirror to get ndis-wrapper debs I suppose...
[09:08] <Warbo> dyn-afk: Well, E17 is a bit weird
[09:08] <Jeandre> Screensaver comes up when viewing DVD using xine. Where can I change this?
[09:08] <Joyrider> ozubu: yes you can switch to de. or ie. or another mirror, but there is no mirror for security
[09:08] <HedgeMage> euly: /set ignore #ubuntu joins parts
[09:08] <BioVorE> euly: there is a section that defines modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" etc
 dyn-afk: Well, E17 is a bit weird << KDE is weird :P
[09:08] <Warbo> Jeandre: I find gnome-screensaver is a bit buggy with that, xscreensaver works better since most apps are used to it
[09:08] <skavenge> Symgeosis: ndiswrapper is on the CD even if you cant get it out of the repos right now
[09:08] <malv> so what caused the service outage?
[09:09] <Cody`> Joyrider: What are the mirrors, do you know off hand? I would like to install azureus.
[09:09] <Warbo> dyn-afk: KDE with E17 as WM........
[09:09] <euly> BioVorE: So what do I have to do?
[09:09] <ozubu> Joyrider, there is one mirror for security ?
[09:09] <BioVorE> euly: Might want to check your monitor's vertical and horizontal sync values as well
[09:09] <mikechml> i don't think anyone here knows malv
[09:09] <tich> does anyone know if the repositories off-line?
[09:09] <dyn-afk> you're scaring me now Warbo :P
[09:09] <Seveas> malv, we don't know - only the people who need to know, know
[09:09] <ayeee> Hi, ive go a strange problem. My Mouse1 act as "Page up/Scroll up" - when i push mouse1 in my terminal it scrolls up - anyone has a solution for this?
[09:09] <Joyrider> Cody`: try de.archive.ubuntu.com
[09:09] <mikechml> they are tich
[09:09] <euly> BioVorE: Its a TFT
[09:09] <Cody`> Joyrider: Okay
[09:09] <euly> HedgeMage: Where do I put that? I tried it and still get the lines.
[09:10] <BioVorE> euly: it still has a horiz sync and vertical refersh
[09:10] <ozubu> Joyrider, you think there is only "one" security server ?
[09:10] <Jeandre> warbo: xscreensaver: couldn't find it Add/Remove applications, or System|Preferences System|Administration
[09:10] <bigfoot1> Warbo: ty
[09:10] <HedgeMage> euly: sorry, my mistake, it's /ignore not /set ignore
[09:10] <HedgeMage> euly: so /ignore #ubuntu JOINS PARTS
[09:10] <interfear> euly: edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf  you need to put in the horizontal and vertical range for your monitor, dont touch anything else
[09:10] <Warbo> Jeandre: Get it in Synaptic (the Advanced button in Add/Remove), but the package repositories are down at the moment
[09:10] <Joyrider> ozubu: there is no mirror for security.ubuntu.com that i know of
[09:11] <interfear> euly: you made need to also add modes
[09:11] <Symgeosis> skavenge, yeah but I'm lazy too lazy to set it up by hand I want my gtk-ndis. ;-)
[09:11] <Ackeubu_> hey is ubuntuforum down?
[09:11] <HedgeMage> Ackeubu_: see the topic
[09:11] <Jeandre> warbo: Many thanks, will try later.
[09:11] <skavenge> Symgeosis: aah ... its like three commands ;)
[09:11] <AAA> 00:14) -NickServ(NickServ@services.)-            Nickname: HenZo
[09:12] <amarokker> any word on when the services will be back? and does anyone know a working mirror - i need to install rails.
[09:12] <livingdaylight> Your Ubuntu User number is # 3078
[09:12] <BioVorE> amarokker: see topic again
[09:12] <apokryphos> hm, bad bug
[09:12] <euly> HedgeMage: Thanks! Can I also get rid of the "has quit" messages?
[09:12] <livingdaylight> apokryphos: what is your ubuntu user number?
[09:12] <Joyrider> i never knew there could be so many people in one place who don't seem to be able to read :)
[09:13] <Seveas> apokryphos, /remove channel nick :reason
[09:13] <amarokker> I get the msg :p
[09:13] <Seveas> the : is importaant
[09:13] <HedgeMage> euly: the same way but QUITS instead of JOINS
[09:13] <ozubu> Joyrider, 10x for all the info... This guys in ubuntu should mirror their server... this is so silly
[09:13] <apokryphos> Seveas: thanks ;-)
[09:13] <euly> HedgeMage: Perfect.
[09:13] <ozubu> I am off, bye all
[09:13] <Viper550> All I have to say is "The System is Down"
[09:14] <nechto13> hello, whenever i try to log off, restart, shut down, or kill x my monitor powers off and my machine stays on. can someone suggest what might be causing this?
[09:14] <Seveas> System of a Down
[09:14] <KillItNow> hey, just a question is the ubuntu server down i cant get to the site, or ping the server, or download updates
[09:14] <interfear> It would be cool if the ubuntu install had an option to add your own mirros
[09:14] <BarryAllen> hi all
[09:14] <euly> HedgeMage: And the "*** mode" thingies?
[09:14] <Viper550> No, Homestar Runner, Strong Bad Email, hehehe
[09:14] <theCore> we got crazy ops :)
[09:14] <apokryphos> Seveas: nice rejoin script, too 8)
[09:14] <Seveas> theCore, that is an understatement
[09:14] <urakaipa> Hello could someone suggest me an easy way to make a backup in ubuntu? programs with gui are appreciated
[09:14] <Seveas> !backup > urakaipa
[09:14] <tich> be careful KillItNow or Seveas will kick you off.
[09:14] <theCore> Seveas: hehe

[09:15] <dyn-afk> !backup
[09:15] <HedgeMage> euly: not sure how to do those, but you won't see them too often in here, Seveas et al. are very responsible about that sort of thing.
[09:15] <ubotu> There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi
[09:15] <euly> urakaipa: tar -f backup foldername
[09:15] <dyn-afk> lol
[09:15] <deb> I can't open old microsoft publisher files how do I get these to work
[09:15] <dyn-afk> nice links for !backup considering some services are down :P
[09:15] <euly> HedgeMage: alright
[09:15] <theCore> ayeee: have checked your Profile configuration?
[09:15] <Seveas> deb, go to a windows system and use them there
[09:16] <theCore> have you*
[09:16] <wayward> the answer abut backups is one that works in principle. :)
[09:16] <Tonren> Hey my lovelies, is there a gnome clipboard daemon?
[09:16] <Warbo> urakaipa: For a gui, gksudo nautilus then go to /, ctrl-a to select all, right click and create archive (just make a tar, compressing it would take ages)
[09:16] <euly> So back to the 1280x1024 resolutions. Anybody? What do I have to put into xorg.conf?
[09:16] <KillItNow> any one know the ubuntu.com server ip
[09:16] <Seveas> KillItNow, dig ubuntu.com
 Hey my lovelies, is there a gnome clipboard daemon? << the ubuntu guide site mentions some clipboard tool
[09:16] <theCore> euly: use sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:17] <Tonren> dyn-afk: You mean ubuntuguide.org?
[09:17] <urakaipa> Warbo, what about some folders in /home that can't be copied with this command?
[09:17] <euly> theCore: No no. I tried that. It wants me to reconfigure my keyboard and stuff
 dyn-afk: You mean ubuntuguide.org? << yep
[09:17] <Syco54645> is there any way that i could install 2 versions of wine at one time?
[09:17] <wayward> urakaipa, if you are root while doing that, there will be no inaccessible directories
[09:17] <Warbo> urakaipa: I am not sure how that would handle multiple filesystems if you have a seperate /home
[09:17] <deb> is that the only option for looking at documents written in publisher?
[09:17] <Tonren> dyn-afk: Found it, thanks!!
[09:17] <dyn-afk> Tonren check: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_Clipboard_Daemon_for_GNOME
[09:17] <theCore> euly: just press Enter repeatively
[09:17] <dyn-afk> np
[09:18] <Tonren> dyn-afk: Step ahead of you, heh
[09:18] <euly> urakaipa: Whats wrong about typing "tar -f /home/ mybackup.tar" ?
[09:18] <dyn-afk> mind you, the repositories might be down
[09:18] <ayeee> theCore: what shall i look for?
[09:18] <euly> theCore: But then stuff happens like it sets my keyboard-layout to us, while its de
[09:18] <wayward> euly: order of arguments to tar? O:-)
[09:19] <theCore> euly: ok, then
[09:19] <euly> urakaipa: wayward is right : its "tar -f mybackup.tar /home/"
[09:19] <dyn-afk> use gzipto compress your backup :)
[09:19] <dyn-afk> might save some diskspace
[09:19] <urakaipa> I will try now, but tell me: tar file is a compressed file format?
[09:19] <Joyrider> you need to pass -c to tar as well to tell it to create the archive
[09:20] <dyn-afk> a simple tar file is uncompressed
[09:20] <jpjacobs> or tar -czf for a gzipped file
[09:20] <euly> dyn-afk: he can just say "tar -czf mybackup.tar /home/" and it will compress on the fly i guess
[09:20] <nate_02631> Hi all - quick question - had a failed software update (via notification icon)... Now I can't boot into Ubuntu - "cannot execute /etc/init/d/rcS"... anyone have a fix?
[09:20] <dyn-afk> you can specify if it uses bzip2 or gzip to compress the tar file
[09:20] <wayward> urakaipa: use -cvf to create an archive and see files as they are being added.  tar is not a compressed format.
[09:20] <euly> now that we can backup everything: how can we set the screen resolution to 1280x1024?
[09:21] <Symgeosis> savenge, ndis is only on the CD with a full install. =/ I guess it's planet mirror then.
[09:21] <urakaipa> lol euly :)
[09:21] <Joyrider> euly: system > preferences > screen resolution
[09:21] <theCore> euly: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[09:21] <euly> Joyrider: No 1280 there. Only 1024
[09:21] <urakaipa> anyway.. thank you everybody :) I will try
[09:21] <mikechml> euly, first, backup your xorg.conf
[09:21] <mikechml> :D
[09:21] <dyn-afk> tar will create a tar file and then hand it over to gzip or bzip2 so it can compress it and you'll end up with a file called .tar.gz or .tar.bz2
[09:21] <P4W3R> k3b is on install cd?
[09:21] <Warbo> P4W3R: Maybe on Kubuntu
[09:21] <theCore> euly: it will just ask for the important questions
[09:21] <apokryphos> P4W3R: on kubuntu install cd, yes.
[09:21] <BioVorE> euly: its all in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf  (google it)

[09:22] <nechto13> hmm, maybe i should try a different distro, since no one seems to have any idea of what could be causing the bug i'm experiencing...
[09:22] <apokryphos> Viper550: use a mirror
[09:22] <KillItNow> downtime?
[09:22] <wayward> actually, if you use tar zcvf of tar jcvf, archiving and compressing will go simultaneously
[09:22] <mikechml> Viper550: i think it's killing Seveas too
[09:22] <P4W3R> an alternative to k3b?
[09:22] <Viper550> But I don't even use Ubuntu, so that's no use! At least Fedora's servers are down
[09:22] <wayward> shich saves disk space

[09:22] <P4W3R> thx
[09:22] <Symgeosis> Viper550, I use http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/ubuntu/?fl=
[09:23] <apokryphos> do you *really* need to get security updates today?
[09:23] <Joyrider> tristanmike: there are mirrors for updates but not security
[09:23] <mikechml> press page up?
[09:23] <wayward> mnp: fdisk /dev/hd?
[09:23] <KillItNow> what downtime are you talking about?
[09:23] <tristanmike> Joyrider: cool, thanx
[09:23] <apokryphos> euly: page-up
[09:23] <nechto13> apokryphos: so what would you suggest?
[09:23] <FurryNemesis> w000000t
[09:23] <tristanmike> Joyrider: that's what I thought
[09:23] <Viper550> All Ubuntu hosted sites are down, even the Wiki and Forums
[09:23] <FurryNemesis> first install under WINE!
[09:23] <wayward> mnp: /dev/hda for IDE0 master, /dev/hdb for IDE0 slave etc
[09:23] <apokryphos> nechto13: I suggest you ask your question nicely and be patient
[09:23] <FurryNemesis> *hugs* the development people
[09:23] <nate_02631> Anyone have any houghts on by boot problem? "Hi all - quick question - had a failed software update (via notification icon)... Now I can't boot into Ubuntu - "cannot execute /etc/init/d/rcS"... anyone have a fix?"
[09:23] <Ackeubu_> Hey I installed E17 on dapper after a howto on the ubuntu forum, however, when i choose e17 in the sessions menu, i get to enliughtenment version 0.16 anyways, If I have my install directory, how can i change the session configs to go to the e17 directory?
[09:23] <Warbo> Viper550: And Launchpad
[09:23] <KillItNow> yah thats what i thought, any idea when they will be up
[09:23] <mikechml> congrats FurryNemesis  :P
[09:23] <apokryphos> Viper550: no, not all sites. Many mirrors are up still.
[09:23] <euly> apokyphos: yeah, but then im a page up :)
[09:23] <theCore> darn, I can't pastebin
[09:23] <euly> theCore: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg is cool !
[09:24] <nate_02631> Whoops that's init.d
[09:24] <theCore> euly: so? it worked?
[09:24] <Warbo> Ackeubu_: Uninstall e16, since Ubuntu's version just calls itself "enlightenment", so that may be conflicting
[09:24] <Tonren> dyn-afk: Yo... so, I did the thing on ubuntuguide.org, but I don't have, like, a little icon in my system tray that I can click for a history and stuff.
[09:24] <wayward> mnp: when you enter fdisk, type 'p' to Print your partition table.  Oh and I forgot to mention that you need to run fdisk as a superuser (sudo fdisk /dev/hda)
[09:24] <Ackeubu_> Warbo, okay. so would i have to reinstall E17 after that?
[09:25] <Warbo> Tonren: A daemon runs in the background with no GUI. You're after an applet :)
[09:25] <euly> theCore: At least it did not ask stupid questions :) How do I restart X now? CTRL+ALT+DEL?
[09:25] <mnp> wayward: im trying to mount them using ubuntus tutorial,
[09:25] <Warbo> Ackeubu_: I don't know
[09:25] <Ackeubu_> Warbo okay thanks.
[09:25] <Viper550> At least the new theme I'm working on to be possibly included with Edgy is coming along nicely
[09:25] <Tonren> Warbo: Pardon my symantic ineptitude.
[09:25] <AnAnt> is ubuntu.com working ?
[09:25] <wayward> haha tonren
[09:25] <theCore> euly: C-M-Bksp
[09:25] <Warbo> Tonren: Well at least it will help your Google searches
[09:25] <robert__> stupid question...flames appreciated...are the Ubuntu servers down????
[09:25] <mnp> wayward: but, when i try and mount it says: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda2,
[09:25] <mnp>        missing codepage or other error
[09:25] <mnp>        (aren't you trying to mount an extended partition,
[09:25] <mnp>        instead of some logical partition inside?)
[09:25] <mnp>        In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
[09:25] <mnp>        dmesg | tail  or so
[09:25] <nechto13> apokryphos: i did ask. i guess i should wait for longer then 10 minutes for response. i just didn't know that was the rule here
[09:25] <Warbo> !paste

[09:26] <Tonren> dyn-afk: Thanks anyway

[09:26] <mnp> wayward:  sorry for the long paste, but do you know what that means?
[09:26] <danpalka> how do i install flash player fore firefox
[09:26] <wayward> mnp: try sudo fdisk /dev/hda  then 'p' and locate your partition.  It will tell you its type.  Even if the type is correct, it might still be unformatted.
[09:26] <Seveas> !flash > danpalka
[09:27] <nate_02631>  Anyone have any thoughts on by boot problem? "Hi all - quick question - had a failed software update (via notification icon)... Now I can't boot into Ubuntu - "cannot execute /etc/init.d/rcS"... anyone have a fix?"

[09:27] <apokryphos> ProNoob: please read the channel topic.
[09:28] <____chris> why are the repositories, forums, and main site down ?
[09:28] <wayward> mnp: it should be mountable with   mount /dev/hdaX /media/hda1 -t vfat
[09:28] <mnp> wayward: now how do i denote that in the /etc/fstab ?
[09:28] <Joyrider> ayeee: Mouse4 does that "scroll up" feature so maybe you have Mouse1 and Mouse4 swapped somewhere..
[09:28] <danpalka> i cant load the ubuntu help web site
[09:28] <mnp> its vfat?
[09:28] <[Rui] > nate_02631: I would think you got serious problems

[09:28] <IceTox> Hello. A friend of mine has played a little too much with his first debian install ever, and when trying to su to root, I'm getting a message that the shell is missing or something. I've pasted the message into this Url -> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18711 - Can anyone please try to help me with ideas of what can be missing?
[09:28] <wayward> mnp: /dev/hda1       /media/hda1     vfat    defaults        0       0
[09:28] <Seveas> ProNoob, why should there be one?
[09:29] <wayward> mnp: this is from my system, adjust according to needs :)
[09:29] <ProNoob> Seveas, because people might want to know ?
[09:29] <Seveas> IceTox, this isn't #debian
[09:29] <[Rui] > nate_02631: did you try use the live CD as a rescue disk and find what could be the problem?
[09:29] <Seveas> ProNoob, why should people know?
[09:29] <IceTox> I know Seveas. Sorry
[09:29] <mnp> wayward: thanks. ive got that in the /etc/fstab but it wont mount
[09:29] <mnp> i got that error message that i posted before
[09:29] <ProNoob> Seveas, why not just go use windows if you don't wanna know whats happening
[09:29] <ayeee> Joyrider: you have any idea how i fix?

[09:30] <Tonren> What package do I need to download to enable the "autoheader" command?
[09:30] <ProNoob> IceTox, check /etc/passwd and if the path for the root's shell is correct
[09:30] <dyn-afk> +buy
[09:30] <Seveas> Tonren, build-essential/autoconf/automake
[09:30] <danpalka> cuz i sure am
[09:30] <wayward> mnp, one possible reason is that you don't have the vfat module
[09:30] <majd> would someone please help me set proftpd up?
[09:30] <nate_02631> Where are the experts? ;-)   Anyone have any thoughts on by boot problem? "Hi all - quick question - had a failed software update (via notification icon)... Now I can't boot into Ubuntu - "cannot execute /etc/init.d/rcS"... anyone have a fix?"

[09:31] <ljlolel> kay, thanks, i still LOVE ubuntu
[09:31] <wayward> mnp: yes, that's what you'd get if the kernel cannot locate code to mount a FS
[09:31] <Seveas> MTecknology, at least
[09:31] <theCore> Tonren: sudo apt-get build-dep "the name of the package that you're trying to build"
[09:31] <ProNoob> what, IceTox ??
[09:31] <MTecknology> Seveas, why so long?
[09:31] <mnp> wayward: so where do i get the module?

[09:32] <nemuse> sry
[09:32] <wayward> mnp: if you get some lines, then it's loaed
[09:32] <Seveas> MTecknology, that should give you some time to learn that adding bots to channels without asking is not cool

[09:32] <mnp> still wont mount though
[09:32] <nate_02631> nemuse - hello,pls, as I can manually modify the start of the programs - don't think people know what you're asking..
[09:32] <wayward> mnp: is the partition healthy, i.e. Windows boots?
[09:32] <MTecknology> Seveas, I edited the .conf to not join the room
[09:33] <MTecknology> It won't happen again
[09:33] <nate_02631> meh - guess noone can help me either...
[09:33] <IceTox> ProNoob, /etc/passwd contains root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/etc
[09:33] <mnp> yeah, its fine. its acutally the backup partiition that i got with the notebook. its fat32 --

[09:34] <Seveas> IceTox, boot from a live cd, mount the drive, edit
[09:34] <wayward> mnp: hey, I had one such when I bought my Acer Travelmate.  I'm pretty certain that some manufacturers use odd partition formats for backup partitons
[09:34] <IceTox> Seveas, I've got the root password and all, but still I'm not allowed to login.
[09:34] <IceTox> ag
[09:34] <phaedrus44> i get that from power manager...anyone seen this before?

[09:42] <ubotu> dapper is the 4th and latest release of Ubuntu. Version 6.06 LTS, codename "Dapper Drake"
[09:42] <SeanTater> I was wondering, with everything else down, #ubuntu too?
[09:42] <Daver2u> and what does it require to upgrade?
[09:42] <Symgeosis> THANK GOD
[09:42] <BioVorE> edgy is the experimental (next version.. in development)
[09:42] <zazeem> how do i minimize xchat?? i dloaded the systray package and installed but dont see it in plugins under preferences

[09:42] <Seveas> grab some ice or something
[09:43] <Seveas> it's not like there's suddenly peace on earth
[09:43] <zazeem> Qwell: how?
[09:43] <phaedrus44> bah
[09:43] <Symgeosis> Seveas, close enough. ;-)
[09:43] <phaedrus44> "this program cannot start until you start the dbus sytem service"  what is this  ?
[09:43] <Tonren> Hey guys, I can't install libgtk2.0-dev.  It says it depends on libgtk2.0-0 and it can't be installed
[09:43] <mimithebrain> So ubuntu is almost up? cool
[09:43] <zazeem> how do i minimize xchat?? i dloaded the systray package and installed but dont see it in plugins under preferences
[09:43] <Seveas> Tonren, use apt to install it
[09:43] <interfear> ubuntu is back!?
[09:43] <nexus___> @ phaedrus44 is cedega your appliciotion?
[09:43] <Tonren> Seveas: I'm using this command: "sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev"
[09:43] <mikechml> go crazy!?!?
[09:43] <santa99> doubleclick on the systray icon
[09:43] <nixternal> it seems a heat wave is to blame for the disruption to all power services available to the datacenter. as more information is made available, we will inform all of you. thank you for your support!
[09:43] <Roselawn> hooray things are starting to move again
[09:44] <interfear> yay
[09:44] <SeanTater> phaedrus44: try restarting, it should like a service crashed
[09:44] <phaedrus44> no cedega......i get that message on boot
[09:44] <wayward> ubuntuforums are still down
[09:44] <santa99> zazeem, doubleclick on the systray icon
[09:44] <SeanTater> phaedrus44: on boot?
[09:44] <Seveas> Tonren, if that does not work, syour sources.list is busted
[09:44] <interfear> are the U.S. archives up?
[09:44] <theCore> Tonren: it looks really broken
[09:44] <wayward> the server is alive, but the forums are not.
[09:44] <skavenge> i figured it was the heat its doing that all over the states
[09:44] <phaedrus44> yeah
[09:44] <ljlolel> how do ubuntu/debian pay for all this bandwidth?
[09:44] <phaedrus44> on boot
[09:44] <Tonren> theCore: You mean, the app does?
[09:44] <zazeem> santa99: where?
[09:44] <Qwell> okay, so, if I want to setup software RAID...  it tells me I have to partition the device first.  Now, the question is, do I set it to ext3, then go through the raid step?
[09:44] <SeanTater> interfear: I had some problems with them, try switching to archive.ubuntu.com
[09:44] <Klowner> curse Al Gore and his server disrupting heatwave
[09:44] <kubo> amsfdkasgd
[09:44] <Qwell> seems a little counter intuitive
[09:44] <ljlolel> it's a ridiculous amount of bandiwdht
[09:45] <phaedrus44> SeanTater  i have rebooted 3 times smae messgae
[09:45] <santa99> zazeem, on the systray icon
[09:45] <Tonren> Seveas: I'm inclined to say that's impossible.  The only thing I've done with my sources.list is added the amaroK SVN repo.

[09:45] <spacepopeyeXU> I have a XubuntU 5.10 box hubbed to a UbuntU 6.01 box --> How do I transfer files?
[09:45] <Rondom> ljlolel: there are donations
[09:45] <Klowner> Qwell: if you're going to do software raid, I'd personally suggest going the LVM route
[09:45] <autosuggested> Heatwave? I thought that the servers were here in London and the weather's been much cooler here today than earlier in the week.
[09:45] <zazeem> santa99: i dont see it
[09:45] <Rondom> ljlolel: and for ubuntu there's mark shuttleworth
[09:45] <Qwell> Klowner: would rather not use lvm
[09:45] <zazeem> santa99: systray icon??
[09:45] <QMario> Are all USB 2.0 devices backward compatible with USB 1.1?
[09:45] <theCore> Tonren: well, the autoconf script use deprecated templates
[09:45] <kubo> lk
[09:46] <santa99> zazeem,  normally the icon opens with xchat
[09:46] <Rondom> QMario: depends on the device, most of the devices are
[09:46] <theCore> Tonren: although, it's building now
[09:46] <phaedrus44> what is dbus
[09:46] <zazeem> i let me restart it
[09:46] <Tonren> theCore; Ah, I see.  Jeeez... all I want is a Clip manager applet.  Xfce and KDE both have one that you can get from the Universe/Multiverse Repos.  why doesn't GNOME have one?
[09:46] <Tonren> theCore: I still can't install libgtk2.0-dev
[09:46] <Qwell> "Physical volume for raid" is only valid on sdb, since I have a /boot partition on sda
[09:46] <zealot> I heard the problem that took the Ubuntu servers down is a problem at the datacenter that affected more than just Ubuntu. As in many other companies
[09:46] <zazeem> santa99: its not there
[09:46] <Rondom> QMario: they'll run slower, though, because Usb 1.1 doesn't support that high speeds
[09:46] <Seveas> zealot, that's not unlikely
[09:46] <Ademan> when you right click on a file in nautilus and hit make link... is it symbolic by default?
[09:46] <zealot> Tonren: There is on. It is called glipper. I use it
[09:46] <Rondom> QMario: what kind of device do you want to use?
[09:46] <santa99> zazeem, so close xchat and open it again
[09:47] <zazeem> i did
[09:47] <zazeem> 2 times already
[09:47] <QMario> Rondom, external hard drive.
[09:47] <QMario> 7200RPM
[09:47] <santa99> zazeem, so there comes no icon
[09:47] <Rondom> QMario: no problem
[09:47] <zazeem> no
[09:47] <santa99> zazeem, and you installed the package for it ?
[09:47] <interfear> when it booted the install cd it said "ath0 no ipv6 routers present"
[09:47] <Tonren> zealot:  Do I have to add a repo to my sources.list to install it?
[09:47] <zazeem> yes
[09:47] <interfear> what does that mean in lamens terms
[09:47] <P4W3R> ubuntu cracked
[09:47] <Rondom> QMario: it'll be rather slow, though
[09:47] <P4W3R> XDDD
[09:47] <interfear> do i use ipv6
[09:47] <santa99> zazeem, give me a second
[09:47] <tritium> interfear: lay man's terms, you mean?
[09:47] <zazeem> ok
[09:47] <interfear> ha tritium yes
[09:47] <Seveas> zazeem, it doesn't work for schat-gnome, pnly for xchat
[09:47] <QMario> Thank you Rondom!!! :)
[09:48] <tritium> ;)
[09:48] <Rondom> no prob
[09:48] <zazeem> im using xchat
[09:48] <Seveas> zazeem, no
[09:48] <theCore> Tonren: do mind waiting a little, so I can build a debian package for it
[09:48] <Seveas> you're using xchat-gnome
[09:48] <BarryAllen> how long the u guys thin mean "lts" ?
[09:48] <zazeem> ya
[09:48] <Seveas> >zazeem< CTCP VERSION
[09:48] <Seveas> -zazeem- VERSION xchat-gnome 0.11 Linux 2.6.15-26-386 [i686] 
[09:48] <zazeem> o
[09:48] <nexus___> !wine
[09:48] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[09:48] <Tonren> theCore: Why, I wouldn't mind at all. That'd be awfully nice of you.
[09:48] <zazeem> how do i get it
[09:48] <zazeem> ?
[09:48] <BarryAllen> s/thin/think/g
[09:48] <interfear> tritium: so u know whta it means
[09:48] <theCore> Tonren: :)
[09:48] <tritium> BarryAllen: 5 years
[09:48] <santa99> zazeem, so you have to get the normal xchat package
[09:48] <prophet> can you install Steam on ubuntu?
[09:48] <zazeem> how?
[09:48] <zazeem> syn?
[09:48] <nexus___> sure

[09:49] <nexus___> @ prophet use wine oder cedega
[09:49] <khaoohs> haha
[09:49] <BarryAllen> tritium, uau! .... considering gnome at each 6 months and a kernel a each year?
[09:49] <mimithebrain> is this correct?
[09:49] <prophet> whats wine
[09:49] <khaoohs> i just saw that link mim
[09:49] <Seveas> mimithebrain, no
[09:49] <tritium> interfear: I didn't see your original question.  Please repeta
[09:49] <nexus___> e emualtor
[09:49] <phaedrus44> "it is stongly recommened you reboot your computer after starting messagebus"
[09:49] <nexus___> wine rocks!
[09:49] <zealot> Tonren: Yeah, let me find it. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=167085&package_id=190045&release_id=418005
[09:49] <mimithebrain> Seveas: phew!
[09:49] <santa99> zazeem, yeah synaptic, the package is called xchat and xchat-common
[09:49] <nexus___> with wine you can use windows apps
[09:49] <phaedrus44> what is messagebus?
[09:49] <khaoohs> what's goingon with the ubuntuforums though
[09:49] <nexus___> on linux
[09:49] <prophet> ooo
[09:49] <jesse_> my spell check in oo doesn't seem to work i was pretty sure it worked when installed ubuntu
[09:49] <prophet> can i just apt-install it?
[09:49] <zealot> khaoohs: Read the topic
[09:49] <interfear> tritium: when i boot the install cd, before it goes into gui mode it flashes on the screen "ath0: no ipv6 routers present" ath0 being my atheros chipset wifi card
[09:49] <zazeem> i have both installed already
[09:49] <tritium> interfear: that's normal.  No need to worry.
[09:50] <interfear> oh ok
[09:50] <interfear> cool
[09:50] <tritium> it still works, right?
[09:50] <interfear> yeh works fine
[09:50] <tritium> :)
[09:50] <mimithebrain> apt-get install hope :)
[09:50] <Tonren> zealot: THanks dude
[09:50] <zealot> Tonren: do problem man
[09:50] <khaoohs> thanks seveas :)
[09:50] <zazeem> ok i got it now
[09:50] <interfear> yay now i get to download audacity and try to plug my acoustic guitar into it
[09:50] <zealot> *no problem
[09:50] <zazeem> thnx
[09:50] <santa99> zazeem, ok
[09:51] <Roselawn> is it possible to dl and install sun-java5-jre with adept, or do you have to use apt-get?
[09:51] <zealot> interfear: Audacity is not that great. You might be better off with jokosher
[09:51] <theCore> Tonren: hmm, doesn't build
[09:51] <interfear> jokosher: never heard of it.. will note that down..
[09:51] <ardchoille> What is the new URL for the ubuntuforums?
[09:51] <tritium> zealot: ?  audacity works well
[09:51] <Tonren> theCore: The app itself is probably just broken.  It's all good, though - Zealot linked me to a binary for an app called "glipper"
[09:51] <interfear> ubuntuforums.org
[09:51] <skavenge> ?
[09:52] <ardchoille> interfear: doesn't work
[09:52] <basvg> hi all.. I've tried to get one of my microphones to work but havne't been able to. One of them is the mic from my webcam, the other is from the Philips headset. gnome-volume-control sees both of them, I checked to make sure the devices are not muted and tried to record sound with gnome-sound-recorder with no luck. Can anyone help out?
[09:52] <interfear> ardchoille: probably still down
[09:52] <theCore> Tonren: probably a better choice
[09:52] <Tonren> theCore: Aye.
[09:52] <Daver2u> question synaptic says gcc is installed but console doesnt recognize the command
[09:52] <zealot> interfear: I tried to get some patches accepted for Audacity to improve it's gnome HIG appearance and started a huge discussion on the mailinglist. They basicly said the code is huge and unweildy and many of the things will never happen because of that
[09:52] <ardchoille> interfear: ahh, ok
[09:52] <nexus___> @ basvg try alsamixer
[09:52] <santa99> somone know where the acpi_power_off function is defined
[09:52] <ayeee> Hi, my mouse is still wrong. My mouse1 is acting like "Page up" and mouse2 is like "Page down", anyone know how to fix this?
[09:52] <interfear> zealot: i see.. ok thanks for the heads up
[09:52] <ayeee> N: Name="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
[09:52] <Tonren> Hey, who knows of a good GNOME ISO-ripping and virtual mounting utility?
[09:53] <Seveas> Tonren, mount -o loop /path/to/iso /path/to/mountpoint
[09:53] <wayward> ayeee: there is a good howto on that
[09:53] <zealot> Tonren: for iso ripping, use dd it is very simple
[09:53] <wayward> ayeee: let me check
[09:53] <ayeee> wayward: thanks dude.
[09:53] <wayward> ayeee: Logitech?
[09:53] <zealot> us.archive.ubuntu.com is back up!
[09:53] <Tonren> zealot: Think I'll be able to figure it out with --help?
[09:53] <linuxcrazy_> yesh
[09:53] <linuxcrazy_> lol
[09:53] <Tonren> Seveas: Thanks!
[09:53] <ayeee> wayward: no, "Synaptics" it says.
[09:53] <ayeee> in dmegs
[09:53] <theCore> Tonren: they even use Ubuntu :-) http://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=167085
[09:53] <prophet> to run wine i have to show it where the app is in my windows hd?
[09:54] <wayward> ayeee: that's a strange protocol for a mouse :)
[09:54] <zealot> Tonren: dd if=/dev/hdc of=/home/tonren/filename.iso
[09:54] <ayeee> root@pingu:~# dmesg | grep Touchpad
[09:54] <ayeee> [4294694.608000]  Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1, fw: 6.2, id: 0x1a0b1, caps: 0xa04713/0x202000
[09:54] <ayeee> wayward: how can i look then? :)
[09:54] <wolverian> so, what happened to the servers?
[09:54] <zealot> Tonren: if is your input file (in this case a device) and of is your output file
[09:54] <wayward> ayeee: well what make is your mouse?
[09:54] <zealot> wolverian: problem at the datacenter
[09:54] <wolverian> even the fi mirror pointed to nullspace
[09:54] <ayeee> wayward: its an laptop so.....
[09:54] <wolverian> zealot, thanks :)
[09:54] <ayeee> ...i dont really know
[09:54] <wayward> ayeee: ah, so it is a touchpad rather than a mouse
[09:55] <ayeee> wayward: ye :)
[09:55] <Tonren> zealot: Badass.
[09:55] <CrashFire> Hello , can someone help me ??
[09:55] <tuxtux> ciao
[09:55] <Seveas> !someone > CrashFire
[09:55] <nexus___> CrashFire, whats youre problem
[09:55] <prophet> can someone help me out with wine
[09:55] <Tonren> sup prophet
[09:55] <nexus___> http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6241&package_id=174803 <-- wine 4 ubuntu
[09:55] <Qwell> okay, if I want to setup software raid0 on 2 partitions (spanning 2 disks), is this an appropriate scheme?  http://pastebin.ca/97485
 can someone help me out with wine << add water
[09:56] <prophet> i want to use steam i downloaded the exe what do i do now?
[09:56] <zealot> !ask
[09:56] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:56] <skavenge> can anyone help with NAT, both machines can ping each other and ics  is turned on in firestarter yet i cant get anywhere on  the second machine??
[09:56] <CrashFire> I have installed Ubuntu server 6.06 , and run command sudo apt-get update
[09:56] <caglar> how do I check if a usb device is connected via usb 1 or usb 2?
[09:56] <ayeee> wayward: solution for this problem? :)
[09:56] <DShepherd> i just installed beagle. does beagle index your 'director you specified' automatically? how can I find out if the status of the indexing?
[09:56] <wayward> ayeee: you can fix whatever issues you have with twisted buttons using the "imwheel" software.  It requires some tinkering, but just wait a sec and I'll give you a link to a guy who did a similar thing for his Logitech mouse.  It should be pretty much the same thing 'cause imwheel operates on the level of X events, which are hardware-ignorant.
[09:56] <Seveas> CrashFire, try again - the servers were down for a while
[09:56] <Tonren> prophet: Right-click on it and hit "Run with wine"
 how do I check if a usb device is connected via usb 1 or usb 2? << type lsusb in a terminal
[09:56] <interfear> whats that ubuntu site that will make your sources.list foryou
[09:56] <prophet> ahh
[09:56] <ayeee> wayward: thanks
[09:56] <Tonren> prophet: If that optoin isn't there, use Run with... Custom or Other or whatever it is, and type "wine"
[09:57] <caglar> dyn-afk, does that say if its connected via faster usb2 ports?
[09:57] <nexus___> wine <proramm.exe>
[09:57] <CrashFire> then i installed shoutcast-1-9-7-freebsd5-elf.tar.gz , then i got the problem , I can't run it.... ./sc_serv , respons with no such fil ...
[09:57] <CrashFire> where it the problem?
 i just installed beagle. does beagle index your 'director you specified' automatically? how can I find out if the status of the indexing? << it runs in the background and automatically updates its index
[09:57] <dyn-afk> no idea how you can check the updat status
 dyn-afk, does that say if its connected via faster usb2 ports? << no, just on what port it is connected
[09:57] <dyn-afk> you can try lsusb -v though
[09:57] <prophet> it syas
[09:58] <DShepherd> dyn-afk: ok,. thanks. that;s what i'm really interested in that. cause It does seem to be locationg my files..
[09:58] <prophet> could not initialize installation
[09:58] <wuzzy> aloha! is there an alternative to file-roller for rar archives?
 then i installed shoutcast-1-9-7-freebsd5-elf.tar.gz , then i got the problem , I can't run it.... ./sc_serv , respons with no such fil ... << take a good look at the filename...it prolly is for freebsd 5.x
[09:58] <prophet> C:\windows\temp\glc7b43.tmp
[09:58] <DShepherd> dyn-afk: i can find those with gnome-search-tool quite easily
[09:58] <dyn-afk> freebsd is a completely different operating system then linux
[09:58] <wayward> ayeee:  http://www.glaurung.demon.co.uk/info/linux.mx500.howto.html is a good starting point, as is /etc/X11/imwheel/imwheelrc  once you have imwheel installed.  It will let you do some nifty tricks, i.e. bind "Left"/"Right" buttons to Alt-Left / Alt-Right, standard Back/Forward combo in most browsers
[09:58] <zealot> dyn-afk: type beagle and then hit tab twice
[09:59] <wayward> ayeee: happy tinkering :)
[09:59] <khoda> I just tried to install Ubuntu for the first time. It hangs right before it gets to the desktop with a really choppy looking Ubuntu logo. Any ideas?
[09:59] <dyn-afk> I don't have beagle zealot :P
[09:59] <oasis83> ciao ci sono italiani?
[09:59] <dyn-afk> it eats up my cpu
[09:59] <Seveas> !it
[09:59] <DShepherd> zealot: what does that do?
[09:59] <oasis83> CI SONO ITALIANI?

[10:00] <profoX`> nexus___: sorry just noticed :P
[10:00] <nexus___> hehe, np
[10:00] <zealot> dyn-afk: Try one of these: beagle-info --status or beagle-index-info for your buddy
[10:00] <DShepherd> zealot: oh.. at the terminal you mean
[10:00] <Pashka> hmmm do u guys ever lose dns or connection after a few minutes ?
[10:00] <Pashka> i seem to have this problem on my build
[10:00] <khoda> I just tried to install Ubuntu for the first time. It hangs right before it gets to the desktop with a really choppy looking Ubuntu logo in the middle of a maroon background. Is this a gfx problem? if so, what should I do?
[10:00] <zealot> DShepherd: yeah
 dyn-afk: Try one of these: beagle-info --status or beagle-index-info for your buddy << reply to DShepherd, he/she is asking :)
[10:01] <bruenig> khoda, try the alternate .iso
[10:01] <khoda> bruenig: thats what I did. first i tried desktop CD, had the same problem.
[10:01] <dyn-afk> khoda what graphicscard do you have?
[10:01] <bruenig> khoda, you can also use the server .iso and just do "sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop"
[10:01] <khoda> nividia 7800
[10:01] <ayeee> wayward: this will make me crazy-
[10:01] <CrashFire> dyn-afk : ok , shoud I install SHOUTcast Linux server (glibc) v1.9.7 ???
[10:02] <dyn-afk> that would be a better version CrashFire
[10:02] <khoda> bruenig: I did that too. Same problem. (instead i used apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, is that the same?)
[10:02] <Qwell> Does the install CD start an sshd?
[10:02] <prophet> soo yeah i dont get it..
[10:02] <bruenig> khoda, yeah
[10:02] <nexus___> no @ Qwell
[10:02] <zealot> Qwell: no
[10:02] <Qwell> This 9600cps crap is getting real old
[10:02] <khoda> bruenig: any ideas?
[10:02] <wayward> ayeee: it has still not been standardized for all possible mouse-like devices
 nividia 7800 << install the nvidia drivers, that might help kill the choppyness
[10:02] <CrashFire> Qwell : write sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start
[10:02] <khoda> dyn-afk: how do i do that?
[10:02] <Qwell> CrashFire: in a text install?  nice try :p
[10:02] <khoda> dyn-afk: i can't even get into linux
[10:02] <Qwell> text netboot install, even
[10:02] <DShepherd> dyn-afk, zealot: is it supposed to take this long?
[10:02] <bruenig> khoda, do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:03] <prophet> Tonren?
[10:03] <deniz_ogut> Hi Room. While trying my ubuntu to detect my serial mouse, it seems that I broke it in some way. Anybody knows a way to fix it, to load the old one lets say. I remember what changes I made. Ubuntu stants but with no graphical interface. I can use the console. Right now, I'm writing via Knoppix/xchat.
[10:03] <zool2005> what's the best way to get into programming?
[10:03] <khoda> bruenig: how do i get to console to do that?
[10:03] <dyn-afk> you can't log into ubuntu khoda ?
[10:03] <CrashFire> Qwell : ups , took wrong..
[10:03] <Falc> zool2005: Learning a programming language
[10:03] <Daver2u> Anyone have a list of repositories ?
[10:03] <ubuntu> im trying to install ubuntu, x configuration failed, how do i install in text mode thing stuff???
[10:03] <zealot> zool2005: google "python beginner"
[10:03] <DShepherd> dyn-afk, zealot: to get a reply that is
[10:03] <khoda> dyn-afk: i can, bu tthen it hangs right away. before getting to desktop
[10:03] <zool2005> why python?
 dyn-afk, zealot: is it supposed to take this long? << that totally depends on how many files it needs to index
[10:03] <Falc> Python is great
[10:03] <dyn-afk> it can take a while
[10:03] <zealot> DShepherd: Do you have the beagle daemon running?
[10:03] <tritium> zool2005: it's an easy-to-learn language, good for newbies
[10:03] <Falc> If you want a first programming language, Python is your best bet IMO.
[10:03] <Qwell> bah...partition tool hung again...
[10:03] <jpjacobs> ubuntu, apt-get
[10:04] <zool2005> cheers
 dyn-afk: i can, bu tthen it hangs right away. before getting to desktop << it completely hangs?
[10:04] <zealot> dyn-afk: Can you not reply like that so my computer doesn't beep at me?
[10:04] <tritium> zool2005: your ubuntu install has "Dive into Python" already installed (a good tutorial)
[10:04] <DShepherd> zealot: not sure? ps -e aux tells me "dwight    4873  0.3  5.2  95760 20200 ?        Sl   14:05   0:10 beagled --debug /usr/lib/beagle/BeagleDaemon.exe --bg" --- so is that a yes?
[10:04] <khoda> dyn-afk: well all i see is a choppy logo and nothing else happens
[10:04] <dyn-afk> lol @ zealot :P
[10:04] <Tonren> Hey guys, will it break everything if I mount a CD image on my CD -drive?
[10:04] <dyn-afk> ok, I'll try not to :P
[10:04] <ubuntu> oh right... ehrm ''apt-get install''?
[10:04] <zealot> dyn-afk: thanks
[10:04] <jpjacobs> idd
[10:04] <zool2005> tritium, thanks for the info!
[10:04] <Tonren> Like this: sudo mount -o loop /home/tonren/image.iso /dev/hdc
[10:04] <tritium> zool2005: sure thing :)
[10:04] <zealot> DShepherd: that is a yes
[10:04] <interfear> how do i restart X without restarting the whole pc?
[10:05] <Tonren> interfear: Ctrl + Alt + Backspace
[10:05] <dyn-afk> so khoda you cannot type in your username/password?
[10:05] <jpjacobs> ubuntu, man apt-get will help you out
[10:05] <Gareth^> interfear, .. damn Tonren you're fast
[10:05] <bruenig> khoda, the wiki says ctrl + alt + F1 will give you a console
[10:05] <zealot> DShepherd: are beagle searches taking awhile to run? What is the root problem you are having
[10:05] <dash`> could somebody '/msg nickserv info dash' for me?
[10:05] <interfear> schweet
[10:05] <khoda> dyn-afk: I type in my username/password, then it goes to the next screen (before getting to desktop) wiht the choppy logo
[10:05] <hardwarehank> ok i have a problem
[10:05] <Tonren> Gareth^: My friends have a pool going on whether I'll get carpal tunnel before 25
[10:05] <nexus___> !amarok
[10:05] <Qwell> dash`: and?
[10:05] <ubotu> amarok is an audio player for Linux with an intuitive interface. The latest version is 1.4.1 and packages are available for Kubuntu at: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/amarok-1.4.1.php
[10:05] <Falc> I have installed Ubuntu and I want to use Xubuntu I've been told to do "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" but it gives me "Couldn't find package"
[10:05] <ubuntu> jpjacobs: im trying to install ubuntu, not software
[10:05] <dyn-afk> ok, then do what bruenig said: ctrl-alt-f1
[10:05] <dash`> Qwell :: tell me what it says?
[10:05] <nexus___> !x17
[10:05] <ubotu> I know nothing about x17 - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[10:05] <nexus___> !e17
[10:05] <ubotu> Enlightenment (or "E") is a window manager for X, providing a useful, and good looking graphical shell in which to work. E17 is the current development version.
[10:05] <hardwarehank> my left mouse button on my touchpad is broken and I tried reampping with xmodmap
[10:05] <Tonren> Falc: You probably don't have Universe and Multiverse enabled in your list of repositories.
[10:05] <zealot> Tonren: I just turned 23 and got a brace a month ago to keep from getting it :)
[10:05] <bruenig> khoda, also this might be of help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[10:06] <khoda> dyn-afk, bruenig: okay, ill do that , what do I type in, then?
[10:06] <dyn-afk> username/password :P
[10:06] <Gareth^> dash`, pm
[10:06] <bruenig> khoda, type the username password then the command
[10:06] <dyn-afk> you're on a shell
[10:06] <khoda> dyn-afk: then what :P
[10:06] <Tonren> zealot: I'm 21 now, and so far I haven't felt anything implying its presence.  I'm praying it stays taht way... o.O
[10:06] <PKR_> how do you close a program if it has frozen
[10:06] <khoda> bruenig: which command?
[10:06] <jryer> How do I access another partition in Ubuntu? I created the partition and was able to copy files to it (via /tmp folder) but now it is gone. I go into the Disks Manager and it is disabled and refuses to enable. Help?
[10:06] <Gareth^> Tonren, hah - I think I'll be getting there pretty quick as well
[10:06] <dash`> Gareth^ :: I saw it, but I can't respond as I am unregistered :P
[10:06] <Tonren> So guys, if I want to trick my game into thinknig that its CD is in the drive, how should I mount the image?
[10:06] <dyn-afk> so you can install the nvidia drivers
[10:06] <CrashFire> How to run eggdrop shell on ubuntu server ???
[10:06] <nexus___> !kde
[10:06] <ubotu> KDE (http://kde.org) is the K Desktop Environment. To install from Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, or see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingKDE for other ways to get KDE
[10:06] <zealot> PKR_: is it a graphical program?
[10:06] <bruenig> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:06] <Falc> Tonren: How do I add that again? XP
[10:06] <PKR_> zealot: yes
[10:06] <DShepherd> zealot: its not finding any or my files (directories included)
[10:06] <Gareth^> dash`, had no idea that was the case - hopefully it helps though
[10:06] <phargle> Falc: uncomment the universe lines in your /etc/sources.list
[10:06] <dash`> Gareth^ and Qwell, thanks :)
[10:06] <Tonren> CrashFire: That's probably a question better asked in an EggDrop chat, or maybe foudn out in the EggDrop FAQ
[10:06] <Tonren> Falc: phargle's right
[10:06] <khoda> bruenig: i did that when i did the server install, didn't work. should i try again?
[10:06] <DShepherd> zealot: it finds apps though...
[10:07] <dyn-afk> khoda follow the next manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[10:07] <Daver2u> Does anyone know where there is a list or repositories posted?
[10:07] <Gareth^> np dash`
[10:07] <zealot> PKR_: Hit ALT F2 and then type xkill. When the cursor changes, click the frozen application
[10:07] <dyn-afk> but use apt-get install instead of synaptics
[10:07] <prophet> soo yeah
[10:07] <prophet> wine is giving me ceap
[10:07] <Tonren> Hey guys, is there a default button in GNOME for Xkill?
[10:07] <prophet> crap
[10:07] <bruenig> khoda, yes
[10:07] <Zambezi> Why isn't libsigc++and rtorrent avaible in Breezy? :-(
[10:07] <ubuntu> im trying to install ubuntu, x configuration failed, how do i install ubuntu in text mode thing stuff???
[10:07] <Tonren> prophet: What's up?
[10:07] <PKR_> zealot: thanks
[10:07] <DShepherd> zealot: and some news feed thing.. I am not sure where it is getting that from yet
[10:07] <zealot> DSheperd that is odd, but you might try enabling extended attributes
[10:07] <jrib> Tonren: no, I don't think so
[10:07] <prophet> hey im kinda having issues with wine
[10:07] <Jey> is there a way to make mencoder use both cpus (amd 64 x2 4400+) when encoding to speed up ? encoding to xvid
[10:07] <Qwell> So, do I give up, or start the install over, and spend another hour trying to get raid setup?
[10:07] <prophet> its givingme errors when i try to run the exe installer
[10:07] <Qwell> This is rediculous :p
[10:07] <DShepherd> zealot: english please :-)
[10:08] <zealot> DShepherd: You mean non-techie ;-)
[10:08] <dyn-afk> what errors prophet ?
[10:08] <Falc> My /etc/sources.list is totally empty! 0.0
[10:08] <pekay> why cant I get 3D acceleration working with my NVidia card?
[10:08] <caglar> can I mount a fat device without the modes which set it to read-only if an error occures?
[10:08] <caglar> something like force mount
[10:08] <bruenig> !sources
[10:08] <DShepherd> zealot: right
[10:08] <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
[10:08] <dyn-afk> pekay you need to install the nvidia drivers for 3d support
[10:08] <hardwarehank> my left mouse button on my touchpad is broken and I tried reampping with xmodmap, but its not working.  any suggestions?
[10:08] <bruenig> !easysource
[10:08] <Daver2u> sweet thanks
[10:08] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[10:08] <pekay> dyn-afk: i did
[10:08] <ayeee> wayward: i dont get this to work :(
[10:08] <ubuntu> im trying to install ubuntu, x configuration failed, how do i install ubuntu in text mode thing stuff???
[10:09] <zealot> DShepherd: Actually, nevermind. I have the default beagle installed on my smokin 1.8GHZ athlon and it runs very well. I didn't tweak a thing
[10:09] <tritium> pekay: please use the ubuntu packages (ask ubotu about nvidia)
[10:09] <Gareth^> Jey, I'd doubt it - it's probably just not a multi-threaded application (ie doesn't have the coding to support dual processors)
[10:09] <dyn-afk> pekay check: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[10:09] <prophet> when i try to run the exe i get "could not initlaize instllation C:\windows|temp+glh5c22.tmp
[10:09] <dyn-afk> you followed everything in that guide?
[10:09] <wayward> ayeee, where did you get stuck?
[10:09] <pekay> !nvidia
[10:09] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[10:09] <hardwarehank> my left mouse button on my touchpad is broken and I tried reampping with xmodmap, but its not working.  any suggestions?
[10:09] <Jey> Gareth^ it seems doable if u use lavc, but i havent found how to do it with xvid
[10:09] <santa99> someone here know where the acpi_power_off function is defined ?
[10:09] <DShepherd> zealot: hmmm..ok....
[10:09] <lwizardl> i had amarok crash and now it won't restart how do i fix this ?
[10:09] <khoda> bruenig: i just went through the reconfig. i got to a certain point and it kicked me out sayin "xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwwriting possible-customised config file; backup in /etc/x11/blahblah"
[10:10] <ayeee> wayward: i dont really know how to get "Button4" to "Button6" (in the configuration gui it shows that my touchpad is Mouse6 (Left))
[10:10] <wayward> hardwarehank: xmodmap -p?
[10:10] <yallax> .
[10:10] <zealot> lwizardl: sudo apt-get install rhythmbox :)
[10:10] <DShepherd> zealot: not running so nicely here though.. i do some research and if anything i may come back. thanks for the help though. thanks dyn-afk
[10:10] <Kope> hey
[10:10] <dyn-afk> np DShepherd
[10:10] <zealot> DShepherd: sorry
[10:10] <dyn-afk> good luck
[10:10] <Kope> PLease i need someone to help me
[10:10] <ayeee> Shall i edit '/etc/X11/imwheel/imwheelrc' and then restart imwheel?
[10:10] <ubuntu> im trying to install ubuntu, x configuration failed, how do i install ubuntu in text mode thing stuff???
[10:10] <hardwarehank> wayward: -pp shows the correct mappings
[10:10] <zealot> !ask
[10:10] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[10:10] <wayward> ayeee: which config GUI? :)
[10:10] <pekay> dyn-afk: yes i did that guide
[10:10] <DShepherd> zealot: dont be.. all is well.... well kinda
[10:11] <Kope> ok, i have ubuntu unstalled and i have a CD windows Xp that i want to install
[10:11] <ayeee> wayward: imwheel -c (will bring up an debug when i push buttons)
[10:11] <Kope> and i have no disk, floppy
[10:11] <wayward> hardwarehank: I can't be of much help except to note that imwheel just *might* bea able to solve that
[10:11] <lwizardl> zealot, i'm happy wirh amarok
[10:11] <Kope> what should i do
[10:11] <pekay> dyn-afk: Google Earth works, etc etc OpenGL detected] 
[10:11] <lwizardl> *with
[10:11] <frood> How can I add a link to gcc in my enviornment varaibles? I can't use make right now
[10:11] <bruenig> khoda, that is about the extent of my knowledge, I dont have nvidia graphics card my stuff just worked, try the wiki or forums or others in here
[10:11] <dyn-afk> pekay are you sure your xorg.conf is using the nvidia driver?
[10:11] <hardwarehank> wayward: ok thanks
[10:11] <zealot> DShepherd: Once tracker is a bit more mature it will likely be installed by default in beagle. Then beagle problems will go away
[10:11] <wayward> hardwarehank: it can swap events logically
[10:11] <dyn-afk> what doesn't work then pekay ?
[10:11] <zealot> *installed by default in gnome
[10:11] <wayward> hardwarehank: good luck
[10:11] <jpjacobs> ubuntu, that would be (if your fine with text only ) a server install with the alternate-livecd
[10:11] <mimithebrain> the sites are up for me, but the reps are still down
[10:11] <DShepherd> zealot: tracker?
[10:11] <polpak> frood:  what do you mean "add a link to gcc" ?
[10:11] <OmniColos> Kope it may be easier to install XP first then ubuntu
[10:11] <ffeeddee> hi everybody!!!!
[10:11] <ubuntu> i am
[10:12] <Kope> yeah i know
[10:12] <Kope> but i am stuck
[10:12] <Kope> so what do i do
[10:12] <ubuntu> but alternate-livecd?
[10:12] <OmniColos> as XP will rewrite the master boot record
[10:12] <dyn-afk> alternate is not a livecd
[10:12] <paul_> Hi all - I take it that the Ubuntu repositories are up and running again?
[10:12] <dyn-afk> alternate is the text install cd
[10:12] <khoda> dyn-afk: the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia gives me install advice as if i were in gnome. but my problem is i cant get to the desktop
[10:12] <windmill> is there a good/quick way to install gcc on ubuntu
[10:12] <windmill> ?
[10:12] <pekay> dyn-afk: yes; 	Driver		"nvidia"
[10:12] <IrIT> Can you make a shortcut to gnome-terminal. So when opened, it logs into a remote machine via ssh?
[10:12] <Seveas> !compiling > windmill
[10:12] <ubuntu> i waited four weeks so i wouldnt have to burn myself xd
[10:12] <Qwell> install restart - #12
[10:12] <Qwell> let's try it again
[10:12] <zealot> DShepherd: an indexer/database similar to beagle but written in C. It has none of the CPU / memory problems and is faster. The only problem right now is that it doens't index as many formats as beagle does.
[10:12] <Kope> ?
[10:12] <tritium> windmill: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[10:12] <Paladine> khoda are you at the command line?
[10:12] <OmniColos> Kope is there anything important on this drive you are installing to?
[10:13] <dyn-afk> then try ctrl-alt-F1 khoda and use apt-get install packagename instead of the synaptics packagemanager in gnome
[10:13] <frood> polpak : Well, I installed GCC via adept. I've tried running make and it says "Can't find GCC" Which means there is probably some shell variable that requires a value gcc to point to the location of the GCC Compiler. I don't know how to set that variable.
[10:13] <wayward> ayeee: so imwheel -c shows your wheel is set up to wrong buttons?
[10:13] <Kope> no
[10:13] <ubuntu> dyn-afk: how do i install? text-only
[10:13] <zealot> DShepherd: http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Tracker and http://jamiemcc.livejournal.com/
[10:13] <windmill> tritium, thanks, that's what I was after :)
[10:13] <khoda> Paladine: yes
[10:13] <polpak> frood:  you should just sudo apt-get install build-essential
[10:13] <dyn-afk> use the alternate cd ubuntu
[10:13] <Kope> i dont have an Xp bootable cd?
[10:13] <Kope> ...*
[10:13] <Paladine> khoda type sudo apt-get update
[10:13] <OmniColos> that is, are you willing to repartition/format the drive completely
[10:13] <polpak> frood: that should get you everything you need for compiling
[10:13] <DShepherd> zealot: hmm i have never heard of it. well right now bealge doesnt seem to doing much for me. I'll check it out
[10:13] <prophet> when i try to run the exe i get "could not initlaize instllation C:\windows\temp+glc5c22.tmp
[10:13] <ubuntu> what alternate cd?
[10:13] <pekay> ubuntu: get alternative CD
[10:13] <khoda> Paladine: error, the server is down
[10:13] <Daver2u> speak not of MS in the realm of the free billy is not welcome here lol
[10:13] <pekay> for text install
[10:13] <Kope> Drive = partition, right?
[10:13] <Paladine> khoda when that finishes do sudo apt-get upgrade
[10:13] <pekay> Kope: nope
[10:14] <ubuntu> they only sent me one!!! bastards XD
[10:14] <Daver2u> just playin
[10:14] <frood> polpak:  What will that do for me?
[10:14] <ubuntu> i have to burn it, right?
[10:14] <Paladine> khoda you nvidia?
[10:14] <khoda> Paladine: i cant do it , it cant resolve
[10:14] <OmniColos> Kope drive means the whole physical drive with all partitions
[10:14] <khoda> Paladine: yep
[10:14] <pekay> Kope: partitions are parts of the harddrive
[10:14] <Paladine> k sec
[10:14] <Kope> No, i have some stuff i need on the hard disk
[10:14] <pekay> Kope: I.E Windows partition, Linux partition, for data
[10:14] <OmniColos> do you know how the drive is currently partitioned?
[10:14] <Qwell> Does Dave Miller hang out in here?
[10:14] <Kope> OmniColos, yes
[10:14] <polpak> frood: install everything you need for compiling
[10:14] <niklas_e> I got a brother mfc210c which has worked in slackware, but I can't make it work in ubuntu. It won't create the devices /dev/sdb and the /dev/usb/lp0 and the scanner device. Do I need to change something in the bootupscripts or somrthing?
[10:14] <Paladine> khoda what graphics card?
[10:15] <Kope> i have a 60 G misc
[10:15] <crimsun> Qwell: of red hat fame? No.
[10:15] <Kope> a 7 G windows fat32
[10:15] <khoda> Paladine 7800
[10:15] <OmniColos> how is it currently partitioned?
[10:15] <Qwell> of Sparc kernel fame
[10:15] <Kope> and 1 linux part
[10:15] <Paladine> regular or GO?
[10:15] <minerale> Hi, how can I change mirrors in order to download packages ?
[10:15] <crimsun> Qwell: that's the same person.
[10:15] <interfear> Qwell: I thought you were only a all knowing #linuxhelp efnet entity :)
[10:15] <Qwell> right
[10:15] <tx22> Hello, I would like to set the root password, how do I do this in the command prompt? Cheers
[10:15] <khoda> Paladine: let me check
[10:15] <Qwell> interfear: on distros that obey me, yeah
[10:15] <minerale> is ubuntu back up ?
[10:15] <Qwell> ones that hang...no
[10:15] <OmniColos> how big is the "linux" partition?
[10:15] <Paladine> khoda, is it the regular 7800 or is it the Go version (for laptops mnormally)
[10:15] <tx22> minerale:  it is backup
[10:15] <khoda> Paladine: its a desktop
[10:15] <Kope> mm
[10:16] <Kope> 2 G
[10:16] <khoda> Paladine: its the 7800GT for a desktop
[10:16] <Qwell> crimsun: any clue where I might find him?
[10:16] <OmniColos> do you have another partition for a linux swap?
[10:16] <scenestar> )))
[10:16] <Paladine> 64bit or 32bit system?
[10:16] <Kope> yeah 8 mG
[10:16] <khoda> Paladine: 64
[10:16] <Qwell> This is getting very old. :)
[10:16] <crimsun> Qwell: maybe in a red hat/fedora core -devel channel or their mailing lists
[10:16] <Paladine> khoda but have you installed 64 bit ubuntu I mean
[10:16] <valehru> hey guys, anyone know a good command I can use in cron to download a specific web page?\
[10:16] <khoda> Paladine: yep
[10:16] <prophet> steam wants to install in c:\programfiles\steam..... aha well where should i put in on Ubuntu?
[10:16] <zealot> valehru: wget
[10:16] <OmniColos> hmm thats seems kinda small, how much ram have you Kope
[10:16] <Qwell> mailing lists won't work, heh
[10:16] <Paladine> khoda AMD or Intel?
[10:17] <Kope> 256
[10:17] <khoda> Paladine: AMD 64bit 4400+ processor
[10:17] <Qwell> it takes like an hour to get to a step in the installer that actually matters
[10:17] <Kope> But nvm , i dont need ubuntu anymore, i just wanna get back to my windows
[10:17] <interfear> ew
[10:17] <Qwell> then, of course...the damn thing hangs
[10:17] <crimsun> Qwell: are you referring to a general sparc issue or an installer issue?
[10:17] <DShepherd> zealot: still nothing from the beagle-index command .. killing it now
[10:17] <Qwell> crimsun: both?  I don't know
[10:17] <Paladine> khoda type wget http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/1.0-8762/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-8762-pkg2.run
[10:17] <zealot> DShepherd: try killing all of the beagle processes
[10:17] <Kope> yeah, i know, but i dont want linux
[10:17] <crimsun> Qwell: that sounds more like an installer issue than a sparc issue
[10:17] <Kope> it's not that it's bad or anything
[10:18] <khoda> Paladine: haha dammit. okay :)
[10:18] <zealot> DShepherd: then just ALT F2 and type beagled
[10:18] <Kope> i just.. miss windows
[10:18] <OmniColos> Kope, but you dont have the XP cd?
[10:18] <Qwell> crimsun: well, it hangs every time I try to partition these SAS disks
[10:18] <Seveas> Kope, improve your aim
[10:18] <hardwarehank> hmm imwheel just kills fluxbox :(
[10:18] <zealot> DShepherd: Watch it in top and see if it is chugging along once restarted
[10:18] <Kope> i have
[10:18] <Seveas> and you'll hit it
[10:18] <Kope> but it's not bootable
[10:18] <Qwell> and I'm getting little to no help on raid stuff, so, I'm only kinda guessing. :)
[10:18] <Paladine> khoda tell me when you have it
[10:18] <interfear> Paladine: why not just install the nvidia drivers though synaptic?
[10:18] <Paladine> interfear stop interfearing if you don't know what is going on
[10:18] <khoda> Paladine: tells me it failed, ill try again
[10:18] <skavenge> prophet: its talking about the c:\ on your ubuntu partition you created by installing wine so thats exactly where you want to install it
[10:18] <OmniColos> all you need is to be able to boot to dos then you can run the windows install
[10:18] <trev__> use freedos
[10:19] <Kope> yeah
[10:19] <Kope> freedos
[10:19] <trev__> its open source
[10:19] <Kope> how does it work
[10:19] <geppy> What do I need to apt-get for 'gtk-config'?
[10:19] <trev__> just put in the command fdisk /mbr
[10:19] <prophet> i dont know if i created one
[10:19] <DShepherd> zealot: well i see it.. but i think it was running already..
[10:19] <Falc> I have made a new /etc/sources.list and still I get "Couldn't find package" when doing "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop"
[10:19] <dou213> hey does somebody have a link how to mount an usb-stick?
[10:19] <OmniColos> do you have a floppy drive?
[10:19] <fraroco> hello everbody I wanna know if the rep. of ubuntu are up know."
[10:19] <trev__> and it will let you boot back into XP if grub has been destroyed
[10:19] <Kope> no
[10:19] <skavenge> prophet: it did, its under .wine in your home directory (.wine is hidden)
[10:19] <zealot> DShepherd: I'm saying maybe something is hung and so you might try killing and restarting it.
[10:19] <fraroco> hello everbody I wanna know if the rep. of ubuntu are up now."
[10:19] <dyn-afk> usb-sticks are automounted dou213
[10:19] <woobit> dou213: should be auto
[10:19] <trev__> yes they are
[10:19] <interfear> fraroco:  yes
[10:19] <dyn-afk> same goes for usb cardreaders
[10:19] <Kope> OmniColos,  no i dont
[10:19] <fraroco> thaks.
[10:19] <geppy> dou213: Try something like 'sudo mkdir /media/usb && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/usb' if it isn't automounted
[10:19] <OmniColos> hmm not sure if there is a CD image for freedos, but there may be one out there
[10:20] <Qwell> so, if I want to setup software raid0 on 2 partitions (spanning 2 disks), is this an appropriate scheme?  http://pastebin.ca/97485
[10:20] <trev__> i just loaded all but one of them
[10:20] <DShepherd> zealot: kool. i'll try it. have you tried out tracker?
[10:20] <fraroco> !java > fraroco
[10:20] <Qwell> I REALLY don't feel like wasting another hour finding out
[10:20] <trev__> i think freedos is on sourceforge
[10:20] <ick> 82-134.hsd1.tx.comcast.net]  has joined #ubuntu
[10:20] <ick> 20:18 < khoda> Paladine: tells me it failed, ill try again
[10:20] <ick> 20:18 < skavenge> prophet: its talking about the c:\ on your ubuntu partition you created by installing wine so thats exactly where you want to install it
[10:20] <trev__> get the full image
[10:20] <ick> 20:18 < OmniColos> all you need is to be able
[10:20] <ick>  .......)..)....)....
[10:20] <dou213> geppy, thx ... and every1 else 2
[10:20] <tx22> Hello, I'd like to know how to set the root password.
[10:20] <khoda> Paladine: still doesn't work. i installed this today without network cable in cause the mirrors were down. coudl it be because my network wasn't configed?
[10:20] <ick>  .......)..)....)....
[10:20] <OmniColos> also you could get the floppy image and make a bootable data CD (freedos floppy boot image + your XP install folder)
[10:20] <Kope> trev__, how can freedos help me
[10:20] <Kope> i dont have a floppy
[10:20] <prophet> im confused
[10:20] <trev__> what do you need to do
[10:20] <OmniColos> you dont need a floppy drive for that
[10:21] <Paladine> khoda, yes it sounds like your network isn't configured
[10:21] <zealot> DShepherd: You can get it from here: http://www.madman2k.net/. It is still in development and I would wait until the next release before playing with it.
[10:21] <Kope> i want to make a Dos bootable Cd
[10:21] <dyn-afk> zealot have you got any idea if tracker indexes ODF documents or not?
[10:21] <OmniColos> yes
[10:21] <khoda> Paladine: how do i go about doing that
[10:21] <mimithebrain> Saveas: any update on the ubuntu services?
[10:21] <DShepherd> zealot: ok.
[10:21] <Paladine> khoda, if you reboot with the network up I expect ubu will autodetect and set it up for dhcp
[10:21] <OmniColos> you can make a dos bootable CD with K3B in linux iirc
[10:21] <trev__> all you need is the cd image from the freedos website and burn it to a cd
[10:21] <Paladine> khoda, that will be quicker than setting it up manually
[10:21] <khoda> Paladine: it wont hang trying to ping the mirror?
[10:21] <crimsun> mimithebrain: many are reachable already.
[10:21] <Kope> OmniColos, what is that
[10:21] <zealot> dyn-afk: No, that is the reason it doesn't compare to beagle yet. It stomps beagle in speed / resource utilization, but beagle has a larger breadth of formats currently.
[10:21] <skavenge> prophet: the default install place is fine, if you want to see where its installing open a terminal and cd .wine from your home dir, the fake 'c:\' where it installs is in there
[10:22] <Paladine> khoda the servers are not down now
[10:22] <zazeem> how do i make text under desktop icons go away ?
[10:22] <mimithebrain> crimsun: yeah, the sites are up for me... but the rep seem to be down still
[10:22] <khoda> Paladine: i actually just restarted to do the reconfigure thing
[10:22] <crimsun> mimithebrain: archive.ubuntu.com is reachable for me.
[10:22] <dyn-afk> too bad it doesn't zealot because that's just what I need: something that indexes my ODF documents
[10:22] <OmniColos> Kope, K3B is a CD burning app
[10:22] <khoda> Paladine: should i try again? btw, it doesnt take me direclty to console, i have to alt/cntrl/f1 from login menu in gui
[10:22] <Paladine> khoda once you have networking you can do the wget http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/1.0-8762/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-8762-pkg2.run
[10:22] <zazeem> how do i make text under desktop icons go away ?
[10:22] <dyn-afk> and since beagle eats up my cpu it is not an option on my notebook
[10:22] <tx22> can anyone read this?... I'm trying to find the way to set the root password.
[10:23] <crimsun> !root > tx22
[10:23] <tx22> !root
[10:23] <Paladine> khoda yeah just reboot and see if it sets up networking, it should autodetect
[10:23] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[10:23] <dyn-afk> tx22 try sudo passwd
[10:23] <Kope> where can i get K3B
[10:23] <tx22> dyn-afk:  thanks
[10:23] <zealot> dyn-afk: Well I'm about 95% sure the cvs version does if you want to try that out. I was talking to the lead developer and he mentioned something about it. You might try the cvs version
[10:23] <GuardianAtomos> Maybe I'm just being stupid, but I'm trying to install a PHP module, and it requires that I have the PHP source to work with. Is this available with the apt-get installed PHP5 package? If so, where is it?
[10:23] <mimithebrain> crimsun: my mirror is still down. I'll change to archive.ubuntu.com instead of my closest one
[10:23] <dyn-afk> ok thnx zealot
[10:23] <OmniColos> if you are using Ubuntu right now, then you can get K3B using Synaptic
[10:23] <dyn-afk> I'll give it a go I think :)
[10:23] <minerale> Hi, what package do I install to get the nvidia drivers ?
[10:23] <Paladine> minerale, nvidia-glx
[10:24] <recon0> Does anybody know how to kill a program from the command line?
[10:24] <khoda> Paladine: is there a quick wya to check if it works before typing that mammoth link
[10:24] <dyn-afk> use the kill command recon0
[10:24] <zealot> And you might see if this version has a newer version, I'm not sure ATM: http://www.madman2k.net/article/19/#p2
[10:24] <OmniColos> if you just want to burn the freedos cd you dont really need K3B
[10:24] <Paladine> khoda yeah ping www.google.com
[10:24] <hardwarehank> wayward: found the problem - it remaps the external mouse, and i need it to remap the touchpad
[10:24] <zazeem> anyone
[10:24] <khoda> Paladine: unknown host :(
[10:24] <hardwarehank> its synaptics
[10:24] <minerale> paladine: I seem to have installed nvidia glx but it does not seem to be using the driver
[10:24] <recon0> then how am I supposed to find the process/job ID?
[10:24] <GuardianAtomos> recon0, yeah. Use "kill <pid>"
[10:24] <Flannel> GuardianAtomos: you need to add some stuff to your repositories, in your sources list where it says "deb [url]  dapper main etc etc" add one below it that says deb-src, however, you shouldn't need to recompile to add modules usually
[10:24] <Paladine> minerale, from the terminal type nvidia-xconfig
[10:25] <zazeem> ?
[10:25] <GuardianAtomos> recon0, try "ps aux | grep NameOfProcess"
[10:25] <Kope> ok, brb
[10:25] <zazeem> can someone help me
[10:25] <OmniColos> you can just right click the freedos .iso file you  d/l and select "write to disk"
[10:25] <Paladine> khoda you had your networkedplugged in this time?
[10:25] <Kope> OmniColos, then free dos is ?
[10:25] <GuardianAtomos> Flannel, I'm trying to add the MagickWand (ImageMagick) PHP module.
[10:25] <khoda> Paladine yes =D
[10:25] <Kope> it's an ISO
[10:25] <Qwell> Seveas: You seem to be "in the know"..  Would you have any clue whatsoever why the partition tool might hang on me, every time?
[10:25] <GuardianAtomos> To my knowledge, it doesn't exist for PHP5 in Dapper.
[10:25] <khoda> Paladine and windows internet works
[10:25] <Paladine> !pastebin > khoda
[10:25] <khoda> !pastebin
[10:25] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[10:25] <zealot> minerale: sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[10:25] <recon0> Worked like a charm thanks.
[10:25] <tx22> Hey guys, I'd like to make a suggestion!.. I think the ubuntu wiki is a brilliant source for information, but it's a huge shame it's not included in the official 6.10 CD, is there any way this can be implimented? Thank you.
[10:25] <Paladine> khoda, use the link you just got from the bot to paste the output from ifconfig
[10:25] <GuardianAtomos> recon0, with "grep", you can use a regular expression like "ps aux | grep apache*"
[10:26] <zealot> minerale: that is all you should have to do and then just restart X with CTRL ALT Backspace
[10:26] <OmniColos> good luck... sorry ubuntu didnt work out for ya
[10:26] <tritium> tx22: it would take up too much space
[10:26] <ardchoille> tx22: I second that.
[10:26] <Seveas> tx22, not nearly enough space and the wiki is too volatile in nature
[10:26] <Kope> lol
[10:26] <Kope> it's K
[10:26] <Kope> but wait
[10:26] <recon0> tx22: plus, a wiki is constantly edited/updated.
[10:26] <GuardianAtomos> recon0, if "kill <pid>" doesn't work, use "kill -9 <pid>" -- that means kill without discretion or caution.
[10:26] <prophet> when i try to run steam i get wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\Steam.exe": Module not found
[10:26] <tx22> tritium: but, we can zip it ?
[10:26] <tritium> !enter > Kope
[10:26] <Kope> OmniColos, how can i burn free dos
[10:26] <mimithebrain> just curious, are all official mirrors the same?
[10:26] <crimsun> tx22: no, you can't.
[10:26] <tritium> tx22: that still wouldn't help
[10:26] <Qwell> mimithebrain: They don't seem to be
[10:26] <recon0> GuardianAtomos: It worked like a charm (the former). Thanks.
[10:26] <OmniColos> are you using Ubuntu right now?
[10:26] <zazeem> publove please pm me
[10:26] <GuardianAtomos> recon0, gotcha. Cool.
[10:26] <Paladine> khoda then post the url to the pastebin here please
[10:26] <Kope> yes
[10:27] <tritium> tx22: the single CD is literally _that_ space constrained
[10:27] <Qwell> mimithebrain: I was having an issue with kernel modules missing on the us mirror
[10:27] <khoda> Paladine will do
[10:27] <zealot> mimithebrain: hence the reason they are called mirrors. They probably rsync update at different times but should be the same
[10:27] <tx22> tritium:  I was just thinking of using a cut-down version of the wiki for needed things such as setting the root password
[10:27] <OmniColos> and you have the .iso for freedos?
[10:27] <dyn-afk> tx22 only if the wiki articles are combined into pdf documents it might be worthwhile
[10:27] <Kope> yeah
[10:27] <OmniColos> and a cd burned and blank cd?
[10:27] <eitch0000> are all the servers up and running again?
[10:27] <GuardianAtomos> BTW, Flannel, I did add the deb-src repository.
[10:27] <dyn-afk> seperate documentation cd or something
[10:27] <OmniColos> *cd burner
[10:27] <tritium> tx22: oh, well setting the root passwd si definitely not a _needed_ thing at all
[10:27] <zealot> tx22: that should be rolled into the official documentation, not by packaging the wiki onto the install.
[10:27] <tritium> s/si/is
[10:27] <GuardianAtomos> Is the package called "php5-source" or something?
[10:27] <djavie233> Hi! I need some help with Ubuntu
[10:27] <ardchoille> tx22: They have apoint. While your idea is awesome, a CD wouldn't be able to hold much info *and* the install stuff too.
[10:27] <Kope> yesw
[10:27] <Flannel> GuardianAtomos: right, It's not in the repositories, but still, you shouldn't need to recompile, that's the whole point of modules.
[10:27] <Qwell> !ask > djavie233
[10:28] <OmniColos> just right-click on the iso you downloaded and select "write to disk"
[10:28] <zealot> GuardianAtomos: apt-get source php5
[10:28] <dyn-afk> @ tritium: if you need to do a lot of work as root it is nicer to use su instead of sudo
[10:28] <zealot> GuardianAtomos: That is how you get the source to every package
[10:28] <Flannel> GuardianAtomos: no, same package name.  apt-get source [adsadf] 
[10:28] <GuardianAtomos> Flannel, yeah, I thought the same. But I'm installing MagickWand from source since a module doesn't exist for Ubuntu. And it requires the use of the PHP source.
[10:28] <tritium> dyn-afk: sudo -i is good for that purpose
[10:28] <Flannel> dyn-afk: no.  there are sudo alternatives
[10:28] <Kope> Mmm, ok wait a sec
[10:28] <khoda> Paladine: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18716
[10:28] <djavie233> Hey, I downloaded the Live CD and everything but I'm experiencing a problem
[10:28] <dyn-afk> I know, but still, su is nicer
[10:28] <tx22> dyn-afk:  Sure, I think that's fine.. I mean, people don't always have internet access, especially if their wireless internet doesn't work due to their wireless card. I think it would be such a great help for users who would like a document to help them get through ubuntu to get on the net, or just genrally help through ubuntu without the internet.
[10:28] <dyn-afk> but that might be because I'm more used to the FreeBSD way of doing it
[10:28] <minerale> where can I find that wiki page about win32 codecs
[10:28] <Bonez56> can anyone help with samba?
[10:29] <GuardianAtomos> Ah, thanks guys.
[10:29] <Paladine> khoda give me a sec
[10:29] <okiaro> i am trying to setup my keyboard so that the windows key works, but in gnome when i go to system > preferences>keyboard>layout options, it is just blank. has anyone experienced this?
[10:29] <tx22> perhaps an additional CD for the wiki help.
[10:29] <pirast> what was wrong with the ubuntu site? does anyone know what the issues were?
[10:29] <VitaminG> djavie223: what kind of problem
[10:29] <tritium> dyn-afk: there's essentially no difference, once you do that
[10:29] <Bonez56> pirast: read the topic
[10:29] <prophet> when i try to run steam i get wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\Steam.exe": Module not found
[10:29] <tx22> pirast:  power cut, many other sites down too
[10:29] <Bonez56> can anyone help with samba?
[10:29] <dyn-afk> just besides sudo uses the same password as the useraccount
[10:29] <Qwell> Bonez56: You should read the topic yourself. ;)  It's no longer there
[10:29] <dyn-afk> su uses the root account
[10:29] <ardchoille> tx22: perhaps a small set of webpages added to the install CD?
[10:29] <skavenge> heatwave is causing power outages all over the place
[10:29] <Bonez56> Qwell: I just noticed that :D
[10:29] <Paladine> khoda is that -all- you have?
[10:30] <khoda> Paladine: when i type ifconfig, yes
[10:30] <minerale> how do I enable multiverse ?
[10:30] <Qwell> http://pastebin.ca/97485 - raid0, good or bad?
[10:30] <dyn-afk> using sudo or su is just personal I think
[10:30] <KyleHunt> I currently only have Ubuntu installed, but need windows for a game. What is a good tool to shrink some partitions to install linux?
[10:30] <jrib> !multiverse > minerale
[10:30] <Paladine> khoda ok you wanna know the quickest way to do this?
[10:30] <jesse_> hey is there a deb package for a canon ip1000 driver i can't seem to find it after googling for a while
[10:30] <KyleHunt> *to install windows
[10:30] <khoda> Paladine: reinstall?
[10:30] <OmniColos> ubotu
[10:30] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage
[10:30] <jrib> !printing > jesse_
[10:30] <jrib> jesse_: check those sites
[10:30] <Paladine> khoda yeah, by time we finish setting up all your network manually you could have reinstalled ubu :)
[10:30] <pirast> tx22: yup thanks.. btw. what is the connection with ubuntu and ubuntuforums.com? i mean, are they just in the same datacenter or is ubuntu driving them?
[10:30] <XIII> hi, i just posted an error to pastebin, it's : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18717 i got this when i try to log as root though it let me to do that after giving me these errors
[10:30] <Kope> http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm
[10:31] <khoda> Paladine: thanks for your help. ill reinstall and come back here. :D
[10:31] <djavie233> I choose the option "Start or Install" (I assume this is to use the Live CD, correct?) well, when I do that, there's a progress bar, and it's running ok, but then it goes to a black screen and starts saying this: Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 293524" and it keeps saying that over and over with different numbers.
[10:31] <Paladine> khoda no problem
[10:31] <Kope> will the DOS 6.5 here work
[10:31] <trev__> can anyone tell me how to register on this channel?
[10:31] <jrib> !register
[10:31] <ubotu> Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[10:31] <tx22> dyn-afk:  oh, I wasn't sure of this. I needed to know because I have the alpha version of 6.10, and I knew that the kernel (2.6.17) supported my bcm4308 wireless card (it did kind of) but I couldn't get it to connect, so I decided to use the root commands (su etc) but that didn't help either. I was then going to install ndiswrapper.

[10:31] <pirast> is anyone running edgy yet? how is it?
[10:32] <buzzed> anyone running ubuntu via vmware?
[10:32] <jrib> !edgy
[10:32] <dyn-afk> tx22 the root account is disabled by default
[10:32] <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
[10:32] <ardchoille> Oh wow, didn't know the bot had that info.. cool :)
[10:32] <prophet> anyone?
[10:32] <dyn-afk> ubuntu encourages the user to use sudo instead
[10:32] <Qwell> okay, how about this...
[10:32] <dyn-afk> but with sudo passwd you assign a password to the root account thus enabling it again
[10:32] <profoX`> how can i see wether i run 64bit or 32bit version using the terminal ?
[10:32] <OmniColos> Kope, 6.5 dos should be ok I think
[10:32] <Qwell> Can I net boot the ubuntu installer, and just quit the installer, so I can install something that doesn't hang?
[10:32] <Kope> but it's exe
[10:32] <XIII> hello, any one can help????
[10:32] <XIII> hi, i just posted an error to pastebin, it's : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18717 i got this when i try to log as root though it let me to do that after giving me these errors
[10:33] <dyn-afk> profoX` type in uname -a
[10:33] <Flannel> Qwell: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[10:33] <OmniColos> why didnt you try freedos?
[10:33] <tx22> dyn-afk: I thought you told me it was the same account.. or the same password.. Hmm, So.. How do I enable the root?
[10:33] <Qwell> I'm not seeing a "quit installer" option
[10:33] <Kope> cause it's 12 mega
[10:33] <ayeee> how can i change the login slashscreen?
[10:33] <Kope> and net is too slow here
[10:33] <djavie233> Can anyone respond to my problem?
[10:33] <buzzed> anyone running ubuntu via vmware?
[10:33] <dyn-afk> tx22: open a terminal and type in: sudo passwd
[10:33] <Qwell> Flannel: That helps me very little. :)
[10:33] <minerale> anyone have the wiki page for the win32 codecs?
[10:33] <tx22> pirast:  I'm not sure, but they are all woking now :)
[10:33] <OmniColos> i dont know much about a dos 6.5 exe
[10:33] <KyleHunt> What is a good tool for shrinking my partitions so I can dual boot with windows?
[10:33] <bigjb> buzzed,yep
[10:33] <dyn-afk> then type some password for your root account an dyou enabled it
[10:33] <OmniColos> it could be from anywhere
[10:33] <jrib> !w32codecs > minerale
[10:33] <jrib> minerale: (the restricted wiki page)
[10:34] <tritium> KyleHunt: the installer can resize partitions
[10:34] <KyleHunt> The windows installer?
[10:34] <tritium> KyleHunt: no, ubunt
[10:34] <tritium> ubuntu even ;)
[10:34] <dyn-afk> sudo is a tool that gives certain root-rights to a useraccount
[10:34] <b33rnutz> Gparted liveCD works, too
[10:34] <santa99> ayeee, System > Administration > Login window
[10:34] <bimberi> !splash > ayeee
[10:34] <Flannel> Qwell: eh? you want to install via netboot.  that page has it.  What else you looking to do?
[10:34] <KyleHunt> ahh, I see
[10:34] <dyn-afk> you can define what rights a user get's in the sudoers file
[10:34] <Qwell> Flannel: I have the netboot running, but it hangs during the partition...so I'm trying to avoid that
[10:34] <Qwell> or, at least, do it the *right* way
[10:35] <Qwell> ie; http://pastebin.ca/97485
[10:35] <Qwell> Is that wrong for software raid0?
[10:35] <XIII> anyone on help here????
[10:35] <Paladine> KyleHunt, be advised you will need to re-run grub from the livecd once you install windows as it will overwrite the boot sector
[10:35] <jrib> !patience > XIII
[10:35] <Paladine> oh he left
[10:35] <prophet> any suggestions?
[10:35] <profoX`> does flashplugin-nonfree work on 64bit systems ?
[10:35] <plancton> oi
[10:35] <santa99> I have a problem with the shutdown. When i start my computer with apm it shutdown correctly. When i start my computer with acpi it hangs by the shutdown at acpi_power_off. Any suggestions
[10:35] <Paladine> profoX`,  no
[10:35] <Paladine> profoX`, heck out gnash
[10:35] <profoX`> Paladine: see thats the strange thing..
[10:35] <XIII> jrib, sorry
[10:35] <chowells2> Qwell: yes. set the partition type to raid autodetect, then Configure Software RAID
[10:36] <dyn-afk> profoX` there is no flash or java for 64 bit machines
[10:36] <profoX`> Paladine: my friend runs the flashplugin-nonfree on a 64bit machine :/
[10:36] <profoX`> Paladine: and it.. works
[10:36] <Qwell> chowells2: raid autodetect isn't an option
[10:36] <dyn-afk> you need to run those in 32 bit mode
[10:36] <okiaro> profoX`, use ndiswrapper
[10:36] <Paladine> profoX`, he must be using a 32bit wrapper or a chroot
[10:36] <djavie233> Is anyone going to talk to me?
[10:36] <Qwell> there is a "physical raid partition" option, but it can only be set on one drive at a time
[10:36] <profoX`> okiaro: thats for wireless network devices :/
[10:36] <profoX`> Paladine: nope.. he doesn't understand anything about it.. very strange
[10:36] <dyn-afk> if 64 bit people run something like java or flash they run it in 32 bit mode
[10:36] <recon0> I installed "swf-player". Does anybody know the executable?
[10:36] <drunkmonkey> #SmartMedia
[10:36] <valehru> anyone know where the azureus icons are?  I want to make the icon in the system tray transparent....
[10:36] <buzzed> is wmware a good way to go vs dual boot or cygwin?
[10:36] <Paladine> profoX`, check out gnash
[10:36] <okiaro> profoX`, nspluginwrapper sorry
[10:36] <chowells2> Qwell: it should be. I've set up software raid 0 and raid 1 on ubuntu a few times. Should be at the end of the list of partition/file system types
[10:37] <profoX`> okiaro: hm ok
[10:37] <Paladine> buzzd vmware server rawks
[10:37] <Qwell> chowells2: I assure you, it isn't..
[10:37] <prophet> when i try to run steam i get wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\Steam.exe": Module not found
[10:37] <Gareth^> valehru, usually in /usr/share/pixmaps or /usr/share/icons
[10:37] <profoX`> Paladine: yes but he runs flashplugin-nonfree well whatever :P
[10:37] <dyn-afk> valehru aren't they in /usr/share/pixmaps ?
[10:37] <Flannel> djavie233: There's a lot of people talking, it's easy to accidentally miss one.  You just have to repeat your question occassionally.  Anyway, I had those problems once, it's a bad harddrive.  Or at least was in my case.
[10:37] <chowells2> Qwell: i've no idea then
[10:37] <valehru> thanks guys
[10:37] <santa99> no ideas about my problem
[10:37] <Qwell> chowells2: seems nobody does..
[10:37] <okiaro> i am trying to setup my keyboard so that the windows key works, but in gnome when i go to system > preferences>keyboard>layout options, it is just blank. has anyone experienced this?
[10:37] <Bonez56> can anyone help with samba?
[10:37] <djavie233> Flannel: How can it be a bad harddrive? I have windows installed on it and it works fine.
[10:38] <Bonez56> i am having authentication problem
[10:38] <jrib> XIII: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2005/10/msg01446.html may want to look into this
[10:38] <okiaro> what problem Bonez56 ?
[10:38] <ayeee> bimberi: no, i mean the "background" that is shown where i login.
[10:38] <khoda> Paladine: its hanging at 40% in the config apt
[10:38] <zazeem> is anyone familiar with enemy territory the fps game?
[10:38] <XIII> jrib, thanks
[10:38] <zealot> !edgy
[10:38] <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
[10:38] <Paladine> okiaro, you need to go to system>preferences>keyboard>layout options tab and set the second one down Alt/Win Key behaviour I think
[10:39] <djavie233> I choose the option "Start or Install" (I assume this is to use the Live CD, correct?) well, when I do that, there's a progress bar, and it's running ok, but then it goes to a black screen and starts saying this: Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 293524" and it keeps saying that over and over with different numbers.
[10:39] <Qwell> chowells2: http://pastebin.ca/97521
[10:39] <zazeem> is anyone familiar with enemy territory the fps game?
[10:39] <okiaro> Paladine, yea but that page is blank. its empty ...
[10:39] <Bonez56> okiaro: I have joined my pc to a windows 2003 domain but when I try to type "net ads info" it says it can not find the ldap server. also, when browsing the domain on a windows pc, it asks for username/password but constantly just gets rejected even though it is correct
[10:39] <zazeem> can you guys see what i type?
[10:39] <jbroome> zazeem: no
[10:39] <Qwell> the "physical volume for RAID" can only be set on one drive at a time
[10:39] <chowells2> Qwell: physical volume for RAID is the one you want
[10:39] <djavie233> I can zazeem
[10:39] <OmniColos> zazeem, no
[10:39] <zazeem> :(
[10:39] <Qwell> chowells2: So, how does that work?
[10:39] <ayeee> Anyone know where i can find nice "loginstyles"? The ubuntu-login is kinda boring.
[10:39] <Paladine> okiaro what keyboard model do you have listed under the layouts tab?
[10:39] <b33rnutz> Ok, question: I'm on my Windows partition right now, and I can get my DWL-G132 wireless reciever to connect to my router and get everything fine. Now on Ubuntu, I have set up ndiswrapper and set up all the correct .ini files. It recognizes that there is a wireless adapter and I can put in my WEP code and everything. It even detects networks, but I cannot get it to connect. Any ideas?
[10:39] <Kope> OmniColos, wiriting
[10:39] <Bonez56> ayeee: gnome-look.org
[10:39] <zazeem> do you guys know how to fix sound problems?
[10:39] <Kope> writing
[10:39] <Kope> thanks man
[10:39] <Kope> thanks all
[10:39] <Kope> i'm out

[10:39] <OmniColos> cya
[10:39] <Kope> MISS YOU M$ WINDOWS
[10:40] <Paladine> khoda cool
[10:40] <Qwell> Do I set the other partition as ext3?  no FS?  unpartitioned?
[10:40] <zazeem> my sound works in everything but when i run teamspeak and enemy territory i have no sound in et
[10:40] <djavie233> Hey I have to go if anyone was thinking about helping me, I live in Florida and there's a T-Strom that just started to I have to shut down
[10:40] <deniz_ogut> Hi Friends! Do you know a way to replace a broken xorg.conf file with the old one?
[10:40] <ayeee> Bonez56: not the splash when i login to the session, before that... where i type username and password.
[10:40] <bimberi> ayeee: see santa99's answer then
[10:40] <chowells2> Qwell: hmm, that's not my experience. I have no problems creating multiple primary partitions, and setting each to physical volume for RAID
[10:40] <ayeee> ah
[10:40] <ayeee> thans
[10:40] <ayeee> thanks
[10:40] <Zambezi> I got this errormessage: "checking for curl >= 7.12.0... FAILED" What is the name of the packages I need? I run Breezy.
[10:40] <okiaro> Paladine, Keyboard model unknown and when i click '...', there os nothing listed
[10:40] <Qwell> chowells2: Give me a minute, I can show you what it says on the other drive when it's set on sda
[10:40] <jrib> Zambezi: 'curl' is my guess ;)
[10:41] <Bonez56> does anyone here have their ubuntu pc joined to a windows domain?
[10:41] <mimithebrain> niiiiiiiice... I just finished installing my mp3 and dvd support... services are back online!
[10:41] <Paladine> okiaro, is the keyboard working at all?
[10:41] <ayeee> bimber, santa99: you know where i can more than that?
[10:41] <XIII> jrib, but it's not a clear answer
[10:41] <jrib> !info curl breezy
[10:41] <ubotu> curl: Get a file from an HTTP, HTTPS, FTP or GOPHER server. In repository main, is optional. Version 7.14.0-2ubuntu1.2 (breezy), package size 149 kB, installed size 244 kB
[10:41] <jrib> XIII: yes, I know, but it gets you started
[10:41] <okiaro> Paladine, most of it... not the numpad or any 'special' buttons
[10:41] <bagoor> I used ftp to send a file, now some part of the file was sent and my connection lost. Is there any way to resume my upload in ftp ?
[10:41] <hardwarehank> wow - i can find nothing that will actually remap my touchpad
[10:41] <woobit> "route add -net 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 gw 10.10.64.1 dev eth0"           ---> what do I put in the pptpconfig PPTP GUI under 'ROUTING' to match that line?
[10:41] <nosotros> i have a really weird problem. My audio goes on and off continuously (i tried different headphones and speakers) and when it's off i hear fireworks like sound. It goes off after doing nothing specific and to get it on i have to move up and down the volume controls (all of them in no specific position)
[10:42] <mimithebrain> I suggest all those who are stuck with a broken mirror just copy the source.list file elsewhere, and replace the addresses to archive.ubuntu.com, and update by synaptic...
[10:42] <Paladine> okiaro it looks like you have no keyboards installed so it is defaulting to a basic minimum, gimmie a sec
[10:42] <bimberi> ayeee: pardon?
[10:42] <hardwarehank> imwheel and xmodmap only remap my external mouse
[10:42] <LostPassword> anyone know how i can find my admin password.. i lost it
[10:42] <Qwell> chowells2: http://pastebin.ca/97526
[10:42] <XIII> jrib, what could i do?, should i change anything in configuration?, if so, which file should i edit?
[10:42] <Qwell> You can see the dilemna...
[10:42] <mimithebrain> LostPassword: ouch!
[10:42] <tritium> LostPassword: did you ever actually set it?
[10:42] <ayeee> bimberi: pardon?
[10:42] <Zambezi> jrib, That's my guess too, but I can't find the name. I just find the versionname, not the name of the installationfile.
[10:42] <x_xenon> hi
[10:42] <LostPassword> i think i did
[10:42] <Subhuman> hardwarehank, thats because a touchpad is not detected like a mouse, it is detected as a touchpad.
[10:42] <jrib> Zambezi: sudo apt-get install curl
[10:42] <Falc> I have updated my /etc/sources.list
[10:42] <Falc> And yet I can't install anything
[10:42] <ayeee> Falc: /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:42] <Subhuman> LostPassword, sudo passwd root ?
[10:42] <jrib> Zambezi: do you know about apt?
[10:42] <Falc> It's changed?!
[10:42] <hardwarehank> Subhuman: yes, its using the synaptics driver - any ideas on remapping a button?
[10:43] <LostPassword> Subhuman: just type that in?
[10:43] <prophet> can someone help me with this wine steam thing it says its missing a module whatever that means
[10:43] <Subhuman> hardwarehank, i have never tried, my touchpad only has two buttons - not much id wanna remap?
[10:43] <Paladine> okiaro, do you have these in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18719
[10:43] <Flannel> Falc: it's always been /etc/apt/sources.list ;)
[10:43] <Subhuman> LostPassword, yes
[10:43] <hardwarehank> Subhuman: ya - my left button broke :P
[10:43] <chowells2> Qwell: weird. I'd try deleting all of the partitions and start again. you don't need to create a separate /boot partition if you're using md, btw
[10:43] <Leafw> scribus does not eceive key strokes other than the space bar
[10:43] <Paladine> Falc is that you?
[10:43] <bimberi> LostPassword: reboot into recovery mode and set a new password with 'passwd <username>'
[10:44] <Leafw> anyone knows what's up ?
[10:44] <Qwell> chowells2: That's counter to the advice I got in here last night. :)
[10:44] <nosotros> i have a really weird problem. My audio goes on and off continuously (i tried different headphones and speakers) and when it's off i hear fireworks like sound. It goes off after doing nothing specific and to get it on i have to move up and down the volume controls (all of them in no specific position)
[10:44] <jrib> XIII: I would make sure you are up to date, check launchpad for any ubuntu bugs reported, and then look at /etc/pam.d/su and /etc/login.defs to see if yours differ from the default
[10:44] <Flannel> LostPassword: do you need root?  Or just an admin account?  (sudo works fine, afterall)
[10:44] <Subhuman> hardwarehank, hmm, it is probably possible but itd invole a bit of hacking, better just trying to fix the hardware./
[10:44] <husky> http://en.fon.com/
[10:44] <Zambezi> jrib, I still got the errormessages.
[10:44] <hardwarehank> Subhuman: ok thanks anyway
[10:44] <LostPassword> flannel: admin
[10:44] <jrib> Zambezi: what are you trying to do?
[10:44] <Zambezi> jrib, Install rtorrent.
[10:44] <GlassCasket> So I installed Ubuntu and changed my device.map. But for some reason when I try to install ndiswrapper and dhcpcd, it tells me that there is no 'make' command. Any ideas?
[10:44] <GuardianAtomos> Yay. Another question. Ha ha. Can I configure Remote Desktop in GNOME to startup as a daemon when the computer is turned on (i.e., not yet in a session)?
[10:44] <jrib> !info rtorrent
[10:44] <ubotu> rtorrent: ncurses BitTorrent client based on LibTorrent. In repository universe, is extra. Version 0.4.2-1 (dapper), package size 152 kB, installed size 448 kB
[10:45] <Qwell> GlassCasket: apt-get install make
[10:45] <Flannel> LostPassword: right, so did you forget the account password of the account you created during install?
[10:45] <jrib> Zambezi: rtorrent is in the universe repository, just use apt
[10:45] <okiaro> Paladine, yea i have: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18720
[10:45] <Paladine> !info build-essentials > GlassCasket
[10:45] <chowells2> Qwell: ubuntu has an initrd so it's not needed
[10:45] <ubotu> Package build-essentials does not exist in dapper
[10:45] <Paladine> !info build-essential > GlassCasket
[10:45] <ubotu> build-essential: informational list of build-essential packages. In repository main, is optional. Version 11.1 (dapper), package size 6 kB, installed size 48 kB
[10:45] <nosotros> i have a really weird problem. My audio goes on and off continuously (i tried different headphones and speakers) and when it's off i hear fireworks like sound. It goes off after doing nothing specific and to get it on i have to move up and down the volume controls (all of them in no specific position)
[10:45] <Zambezi> jrib, But there's no rtorrent in apt-get in Breezy so I'm compile it on my own. But I get errormessages.
[10:45] <Qwell> chowells2: the question is, can silo handle it?
[10:45] <Qwell> I'm thinking no
[10:45] <LostPassword> Flannel: the account password but somehow the one i created for install is no longer my admin
[10:45] <jrib> Zambezi: ok, does it still complain about you not having curl?
[10:46] <chowells2> Qwell: ah. I've only done this on x86.
[10:46] <GlassCasket> Paladine: So I have to take out the comment for that line in the respotory?
[10:46] <Paladine> okiaro,  do sudo updatedb then do locate kbd please
[10:46] <Paladine> GlassCasket, you need to do sudo apt-get install build-essential
[10:46] <evi|one> Hello. Is there a decent docker app for gnome? And no, I don't want that gDesklets applet. It doesn't even have separators.
[10:46] <Flannel> LostPassword: you mustve removed it from the admin group.  You can re-set passwords by booting into recovery mode (at the grub prompt) and then manually editing your password files (you can find out specific instructions on the web, just google for linux password reset, or whatever)
[10:47] <Paladine> GlassCasket, or search for build-essential in synaptic
[10:47] <minerale> what is the name of that package that allows for embedded files to be played from firefox ?
[10:47] <GlassCasket> Paladine: OH alright, will it still work if I don't have the internet?
[10:47] <Paladine> GlassCasket, you need internet to download the package
[10:47] <Flannel> GlassCasket: do you have a CD source repository?
[10:47] <GlassCasket> Flannel: No, I only have the desktop and alternate install cds
[10:48] <ayeee> Where do i place "GDM Themes"?
[10:48] <Flannel> GlassCasket: the alternate CD is what you need ;)  Add it to your sources.list (if it's not already there)
[10:48] <dyn-afk> wherever you want ayeee
[10:48] <okiaro> Paladine, locate kbd comes up with a lot of stuff
[10:48] <Zambezi> jrib, Yes. Stlll complain after install curl with "sudo apt-get install curl".
[10:48] <Flannel> GlassCasket: and you can isntall from it
[10:48] <Paladine> GlassCasket, I am not sure whether or not build-essential is included in the cds
[10:48] <Flannel> GlassCasket: it is on ubuntu, not on kubuntu, for some odd reason.
[10:48] <dyn-afk> just open the program that controls the login window
[10:48] <okiaro> Paladine, i can run a 'find' if you know the filename
[10:48] <Paladine> okiaro, but you have a kbd.so listed right?
[10:48] <dyn-afk> there you can install the gdm themes
[10:48] <Flannel> Paladine, that was meant for you, actually.
[10:48] <QMario> Hello Flannel!!! :)
[10:48] <GlassCasket> So I simply put in my alternate CD while booted in Ubuntu and type 'sudo apt-get install build-essential'?
[10:49] <QMario> Hello Paladine!!! :)
[10:49] <Qwell> fabbione: happen to be around?
[10:49] <hoehaver> WILL SOME one do me  a favor and type my name as if you were trying to get my attention and tpye a lil message. im using gaim and i want to see if it will turn red like in Xchat

[10:49] <Paladine> heya QMario
[10:49] <minerale> how can I search for the curently installed pakcages ?
[10:49] <Flannel> GlassCasket: if it's already in your sources.list, yeah.

[10:50] <minerale> Thanks Sanne
[10:50] <GlassCasket> Flannel: Alright, what do I have if it's not in sources.lst?
[10:50] <Paladine> okiaro, there is something funky going on can you try and do a sudo apt-get install  xserver-xorg-input-kbd
[10:50] <interfear> so i installed ubuntu 32bit on my amd dual core, so to get the smp working i should get the linux-686-smp kernel yes?

[10:50] <Sanne> minerale: you're welcome
[10:50] <tritium> interfear: yes
[10:51] <interfear> tritium: cool thanks
[10:51] <interfear> hopefully this make my pc way faster
[10:51] <okiaro> Paladine, it says that it is already the latest version
[10:51] <bbrazil> interfear: depends on how you use it
[10:51] <Seveas> hoehaver, currently it's pre beta
[10:51] <interfear> bbrazil: well, i guess it cant hurt
[10:51] <GuardianAtomos> vncserver is able to start applications from /etc/X11/Xsession. I want GNOME to startup when I run vncserver. What process/program do I need to run to accomplish this?
[10:51] <Seveas> in october it'll be released
[10:51] <Flannel> GlassCasket: you just have to add it.  source-o-matic will have an option for it, I don't remember the line off the top of my head
[10:51] <hoehaver> o ok
[10:52] <bbrazil> interfear: you'd have to have a really odd usage for it to hurt
[10:52] <Paladine> okiaro, I have taken you as far as I can, someone else will need to help you from here, I have never dealt with an issue like this before, sorry bud
 Where do i place "GDM Themes"? << anywhere you like

[10:53] <jrib> Zambezi: you could also download the dapper source package from packages.ubuntu.com and read the control file for the needed dependencies.  Or, why not just upgrade to dapper?

[10:55] <ketilkn> GlassCasket: linux-2.6.17
[10:55] <Zambezi> jrib, I can't upgrade to Dapper cause a packages I need just works in Breezy.
[10:55] <ketilkn> GlassCasket: Is that a bad idea?
[10:55] <GuardianAtomos> Paladine, any way to "restore" the sources.list file?
[10:56] <GlassCasket> ketilkn: In that case, I think you're grub should point to linux-2.6.17.

[10:56] <GuardianAtomos> Paladine, I apparently backed it up before modifying it. I'll just restore the backup. :)
[10:56] <ketilkn> GlassCasket: I am not sure I understand.
[10:56] <Paladine> help man chown
[10:56] <jrib> help: Paladine told you the command above
[10:57] <help> how do i do that
[10:57] <GuardianAtomos> Do I need to refresh the repository database or anything after changing sources.list?
[10:57] <khoda> Paladine: I just reinstalled. what are the first commands i should run?
[10:57] <GlassCasket> Flannel: How do I know which line I need?
[10:57] <steve_> anyone? is there a ppc channel?
[10:57] <skavenge> GuardianAtomos: yes, sudo apt-get update
[10:57] <Paladine> khoda sudo apt-get update
[10:57] <Paladine> khoda then sudo apt-get upgrade
[10:57] <GuardianAtomos> Much obliged. :)

[10:58] <GuardianAtomos> hoehaver
[10:58] <GuardianAtomos> ?
[10:58] <ketilkn> GlassCasket: I may be on to something. While typing here linux dropped to ash and BusyBox. ALERT /dev/hda6 does not exists. So it could be a missing ide driver.
[10:58] <hoehaver> ok. i dont see red i see the(your) name change colors
[10:58] <khoda> Paladine: can you explain what im doing right now? (trying to learn as i go :) )
[10:58] <LostPassword> sorry havent been able to figure out how to find lost admin password yet... sorry also new to linux...
[10:58] <hoehaver> its gold when you type my name
[10:59] <hoehaver> and the tab "ubuntu" on gaim, it turns blue
[10:59] <dyn-afk> really hoehaver ?
[10:59] <help> well i do not understand
[10:59] <hoehaver> yeah
[10:59] <GuardianAtomos> Nice.
[10:59] <GlassCasket> howhaver: Are you using XChat?
[10:59] <Paladine> khoda, it is a fresh install so you are getting a list of all the updated packages (with update) then you are upgrading your system (upgrade) based on that list
[10:59] <derrickh> does anyone know of any CD Burning programs that burn VBR mp3s?  All the ones I've tried can't read my VBR mp3s.
[10:59] <hoehaver> no, i always used it. but i figured i would but my info into gaim irc chat
[10:59] <hoehaver> ya know, to see what its like
[10:59] <_Indy_> Greetings.
[10:59] <_Indy_> I am using Ubuntu Linux 6.06 Dapper Drake. I am using a laptop and I use its capture in order to record sound. I can record sound and I can hear my voice normally. So, there are no problems with my input or output.
[10:59] <_Indy_> But when I make a call with Skype, or others call me with Skype, I can't hear anything and they can't hear anything too. Even when I called echo123 I didn't hear anything. Can you help me please? Thank you in advance.
[11:00] <hoehaver> you add the server as a "buddy"
[11:00] <khoda> Paladine: whats the difference between upgrading and updating.
[11:00] <Paladine> khoda update just compiles a list of changes that need applying
[11:00] <hoehaver> when ever you want to get into chat you just click on your "buddy" type in /join #ubuntu
[11:00] <GuardianAtomos> I don't know much about init.d or whatever it is that allows daemons to be started on boot...any basic tutorial on how I could execute a simple script command on boot?
[11:00] <dyn-afk> but hoehaver nickhighlighting works ?
[11:00] <hoehaver> and you come here
[11:00] <Paladine> khoda upgrade makes those changes
[11:00] <khoda> Paladine: i see ,thanks
[11:00] <LostPassword> hoehaver: u have any other ideas for lost password?
[11:00] <help> because i mounted it to the wrong spot and it already has info on it
[11:00] <hoehaver> well, in a way
[11:00] <Bonez56> hi all i have joined my pc to a w2k3 domain controller and shared some directories using samba, but when people on windows machines try to access them their passwords wont work. any tips?
[11:00] <hoehaver> like in Xchat the whole sentence is highlited
[11:00] <dyn-afk> indy are you using skype 1.2 ?
[11:00] <nomis_> _Indy_, maybe use the newer skype version (beta) it uses alsa
[11:01] <hoehaver> in gaim only your name is
[11:01] <wsjunior> i just installed fglrx driver here and now i get a black screen when i reboot, what should i do?
[11:01] <hoehaver> like if "bob" says "hoehaver:kfjhgkjhfbvkdhjvgs"
[11:01] <_Indy_> nomis_: ok, I will :-)
[11:01] <hoehaver> bob's name will be in gold
[11:01] <dyn-afk> if so, update to 1.3 beta (get it from the official skype site) because that version uses ALSA
[11:01] <Paladine> khoda once you have done all that you will need to reboot, then when you get back type sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[11:01] <LostPassword> anyone have any ides for lost password?
[11:01] <GuardianAtomos> wsjunior, did you install them through apt-get or anything?
[11:01] <wsjunior> GuardianAtomos: yes
[11:01] <_Indy_> nomis_: but which is the repository for the beta skype?
[11:01] <derrickh> a lostpassword for what?
[11:01] <Paladine> nvidia-glx willinstall all the other dependencies as well
[11:01] <dyn-afk> the 1.3 beta version of skype has a working sound config because of alsa :)
[11:01] <tritium> LostPassword: which one?
[11:01] <GuardianAtomos> wsjunior, Try apt-get remove fglrx?
[11:01] <GlassCasket> If I want to use the make command without the internet, but I have the alternate CD in my cd drive, will http://pastebin.ca/97549 be enough for my sources.lst
[11:01] <wsjunior> GuardianAtomos: i installed it trhough apt-get
[11:01] <Paladine> khoda then once you have done that you need to run nvidia-xconfig
[11:01] <wsjunior> GuardianAtomos: remove?
[11:01] <LostPassword> my admin user
[11:01] <dyn-afk> _Indy_ just go to skype.com en download from there
[11:02] <Paladine> khoda that will setup your xorg.conf
[11:02] <dyn-afk> they've got a .deb file
[11:02] <LostPassword> derrickh, admin user
[11:02] <_Indy_> ok
[11:02] <tritium> LostPassword: root?  When did you set the root password?
[11:02] <wsjunior> GuardianAtomos: i need 3d accel!
[11:02] <_Indy_> thank you guys
[11:02] <Bonez56> hi all i have joined my pc to a w2k3 domain controller and shared some directories using samba, but when people on windows machines try to access them their passwords wont work. any tips?
[11:02] <dyn-afk> download it and double click it
[11:02] <khoda> Paladine: i assume thats just "run nvidia-xoconfig" right?
[11:02] <GuardianAtomos> wsjunior, yeah just to get back to a working driver.
[11:02] <nomis_> _Indy_, mom
[11:02] <majd> do i want to setup an anonmymous ftp user? isn't that stupid and dangerous?
[11:02] <LostPassword> tritium today
[11:02] <dyn-afk> then hit install and skype 1.3 will be installed
[11:02] <help> i mounted it to the wrong spot and it already has info on it /dev/hda1  to /home how do i change it
[11:02] <_Indy_> nomis_: ok I am waiting :-)
[11:02] <Paladine> khoda I have to go pick my missus up so do that lot and by time you are finished I should be back to help with any further problems
[11:02] <tritium> LostPassword: you did "sudo passwd root"?
[11:02] <GuardianAtomos> Then you can go from there to configure 3D accel. Maybe a tutorial on the Ubuntu forums?
[11:02] <dyn-afk> if it annoys you about a previous version of skype just ignore it
[11:02] <wsjunior> GuardianAtomos: how could i get 3d resources from my card?
[11:02] <Paladine> khoda no run, just nvidia-xconfig
[11:02] <khoda> Paladine: thanks alot for your help. see you
[11:02] <GlassCasket> help: sudo umount /home ?
[11:02] <hoehaver> lostpassword i never had an idea to begin with about lost passwords
[11:02] <khoda> Paladine: noted
[11:02] <hoehaver> or were you refering to yourself in the third person?
[11:03] <LostPassword> tritium, sorry im new so should i go to that dirrectory and type exactly that?
[11:03] <Paladine> back in about 20 minutes
[11:03] <Jimmey> !xgl
[11:03] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[11:03] <help> umount: /home: device is busy
[11:03] <nomis_> _Indy_, you can download a deb file here -> http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/13beta.html .. don't forget to delete your .skype directory in your home folder before you run it
[11:03] <tritium> LostPassword: no, I'm asking if you did that.  (That's the way to set the root passwd).  Did you do that?
[11:03] <GlassCasket> hel: That's because you're using it.
[11:03] <GuardianAtomos> Too bad older, legacy NVIDIA cards can't use XGL. :-\
[11:03] <LostPassword> tritium, no
[11:03] <_Indy_> nomis_: Isn't there a repository?
[11:03] <help> no
[11:03] <GuardianAtomos> It has 3D acceleration, but it's still an older card.
[11:04] <tritium> LostPassword: then you haven't set the root password yet, so why are you asking abuot resetting it?
[11:04] <LostPassword> tritium, i made a new user.. and i think i accidently took my previus root user off the admin list
[11:04] <nomis_> _Indy_, no need for that. just download the .deb file
[11:04] <dyn-afk> just doubleclick the downloaded file _Indy_
[11:04] <dyn-afk> it is that simple :P
[11:04] <help> i mounted it to the wrong spot and it already has info on it /dev/hda1  to /home how do i change it
[11:05] <unstablesob> anyone know of a decent 802.11g usb adapter that works out-of-the-box on ubuntu? (preferably with mac & windows support as well)
[11:05] <_Indy_> nomis_: I would still prefer the repository, This way, things will go well with my package manager.
[11:05] <GuardianAtomos> dyn-afk, any way to force a .deb file meant for Edgy to work in Dapper?
[11:05] <Zambezi> jrib, It worked after installing the dev-packages.
[11:05] <dyn-afk> no idea GuardianAtomos
[11:05] <GuardianAtomos> Gotcha.
[11:05] <LostPassword> anyone know how to make a new user and make him an admin if i cant log on to my previous admin
[11:05] <nomis_> _Indy_, let's write in a query
[11:05] <_Indy_> nomis_: So, if there is a repository, I would be greatful if you could tell me :)
[11:05] <_Indy_> :P
[11:05] <tritium> LostPassword: you need to add your new user's account to the admin group from the first user account
[11:05] <GlassCasket> If I want to use the make command without the internet, but I have the alternate CD in my cd drive, will http://pastebin.ca/97549 be enough for my sources.lst
[11:05] <help> i mounted it to the wrong spot and it already has info on it /dev/hda1  to /home how do i change it
[11:05] <jrib> Zambezi: great
[11:06] <GuardianAtomos> LostPassword, the original user account should have sudo privileges to do whatever root can do.
[11:06] <minerale> Are there any codecs available if I want to view quicktime movies ?
[11:06] <dyn-afk> GuardianAtomos I was referring to the downloaded .deb file :P
[11:06] <LostPassword> tritium, i dont have the option of system>administration>users/groups anymore
[11:06] <GuardianAtomos> dyn-afk, oh whoops. :)
[11:06] <tritium> LostPassword: log into your 1st user's account
[11:06] <Flannel> GlassCasket: er, apparently the CD isn't on source-o-matic.  And, I haven't been able to find the line anywhere.  bother.  check your sources.list, it might be in there, just commented
[11:07] <GlassCasket> Flannel: Do you happen to know part of the line?
[11:07] <GlassCasket> lol
[11:07] <LostPassword> tritium, thats why im here because i cant... i typed the password in wrong when i set it so now i dont know what it is
[11:07] <nomis_> _Indy_,  when you install a deb file, you can delete the program the same way like you installed it from a rep
[11:07] <hoehaver> wont you be my neighbor :)
[11:07] <hoehaver> tooooday
[11:07] <GuardianAtomos> Maybe this isn't possible, but can I configure my Ubuntu machine to have a recognizeable name like "server"? Like how Windows machines on a network can be addressed using their network names...
[11:07] <tritium> LostPassword: reboot into single-user (recovery) mode
[11:07] <help> can someone please help me
[11:07] <nomis_> _Indy_, the only difference is, that it will download the deb file for you with wget
[11:07] <help> i mounted it to the wrong spot and it already has info on it /dev/hda1  to /home how do i change it
[11:07] <hoehaver> lol, ya know
[11:07] <BioVorE> http://bin.4chan.org/g/src/1153680526510.jpg
[11:07] <tritium> LostPassword: then, you can reset your password
[11:07] <hoehaver> yeah but i gone. peace
[11:08] <dyn-afk> GuardianAtomos that's the hostname you enter during the ubuntu install
[11:08] <LostPassword> tritium, and how do i do that?
[11:08] <_Indy_> nomis_: I know, but if I just install the .deb file, then, skype will be counted as a package?
[11:08] <Flannel> GlassCasket: ah, it apprently depends a lot on which CD you have, here's one: deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 5.10 _Breezy Badger_ - Release i386 (20051012)] / breezy main restricted
[11:08] <tritium> LostPassword: passwd <username>
[11:08] <nomis_> _Indy_, of course
[11:08] <dyn-afk> I think ubuntuguide.org has something about changing the hostname after the install
[11:08] <help> i mounted it to the wrong spot and it already has info on it /dev/hda1  to /home how do i change it or at least get owernship
[11:08] <GuardianAtomos> dyn-afk, I thought as much, but it's not recognized when I try to access my machine using that hostname.
[11:08] <_Indy_> nomis_: ok then :-)
[11:08] <nomis_> _Indy_, you will see it the same way in synaptic
[11:08] <Flannel> !hostname
[11:08] <ubotu> Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname  and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly
[11:08] <_Indy_> thank you very much :-)
[11:08] <LostPassword> tritium, i mean reboot into the recovery mode
[11:08] <GlassCasket> Flannel: I have 6.06 alternate and desktop
[11:08] <_Indy_> nomis_: thank you very much :-)
[11:08] <dyn-afk> if it's a windows network you need something like WINS
[11:08] <tritium> LostPassword: reboot, and choose recovery mode from the grub menu.
[11:09] <dyn-afk> or just put it in your hostfile GuardianAtomos :P
[11:09] <nomis_> _Indy_, there is no skype in offical rep. if you add another rep. you can also just download the file from the skype homepage
[11:09] <help> i mounted it to the wrong spot and it already has info on it /dev/hda1  to /home how do i change it or at least get owernship
[11:09] <dyn-afk> or you might go fancy and use DNS
[11:09] <LostPassword> tritium, alright cool thx!  hopefully it works
[11:09] <_Indy_> ok
[11:09] <Flannel> GlassCasket: you'll use the alternative, and... probably the stuff after cdrom: is just the label on the CD.  or at least, thats my guess ;)  and then dapper main restricted
[11:09] <GuardianAtomos> dyn-afk, Yeah, I was considering DNS...
[11:09] <GuardianAtomos> But maybe it's not worth the trouble. ;)
[11:09] <dyn-afk> me too
[11:09] <tritium> LostPassword: you recall seeing the grub menu at boot?
[11:09] <GlassCasket> help: Where do you want to mount home?
[11:09] <dyn-afk> lol
[11:09] <nomis_> _Indy_, welcome. i hope it helps. i am curious if it will ;)
[11:09] <matthew_w> Hey, how do I log into VNC on my box from another machine?
[11:09] <dyn-afk> nah, might use the DNS just for backup
[11:09] <LostPassword> tritium, the options menu at lower left?
[11:09] <dyn-afk> caching DNS
[11:09] <GuardianAtomos> matthew_w, it has to be setup first.
[11:09] <matthew_w> it says to enter localhost.localdomain:0 but that doesn't work from any computer but mine.
[11:10] <GuardianAtomos> matthew_w, you're probably being a router/firewall.
[11:10] <help> home/hd1
[11:10] <dyn-afk> localhost is what it says :P
[11:10] <matthew_w> GuardianAtomos: I did that already, I think.
[11:10] <_Indy_> nomis_: ok, I will inform you :)
[11:10] <matthew_w> GuardianAtomos: I am, what port do I have to forward
[11:10] <dyn-afk> it doesn't work on another computer
[11:10] <matthew_w> !vnc
[11:10] <GuardianAtomos> matthew_w, you routed port 5900 to your local machine?
[11:10] <ubotu> vnc is a way of doing remote desktop.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !freenx.
[11:10] <tritium> LostPassword: no, at _boot_ time, where you can select which kernel to boot into, etc.
[11:10] <help> all i want is to unmount it and it say it busy
[11:10] <matthew_w> 5900, got it.
[11:10] <_Indy_> nomis_: how do I install the .deb file?
[11:10] <dallgood> Can anyone help me with a mousebind problem here?  I'm using the xorg's evdev driver for my mouse, but it maps my middle mouse button to "button 2" and my right mouse button to "button 3".  This would be fine except I'm using XGL and compiz doesn't seem to bind keys correctly when these two buttons are reversed.
[11:10] <_Indy_> dpkg -i sth.deb
[11:10] <_Indy_> ?
[11:10] <GlassCasket> help: I don't follow. You want /home on hd1?
[11:10] <LostPassword> tritium, darn dont know...
[11:10] <nomis_> _Indy_, just dobble click ;)
[11:10] <_Indy_> :P
[11:10] <GuardianAtomos> matthew_w, then access your machine from another computer using your global IP address.
[11:10] <dyn-afk> matthew_w find out what the ip-address of the box with vnc is
[11:10] <nomis_> _Indy_, yes, thats the same
[11:11] <help> i want to unmount it and it is saying it is busy
[11:11] <dyn-afk> use that instead of localhost.localdomain:0
[11:11] <tritium> LostPassword: when your machine is booting, hit Esc to get to the grub menu, perhaps
[11:11] <LostPassword> tritium, cool thx
[11:11] <nomis_> _Indy_, if you use dapper, you should be able to install it by just double click
[11:11] <dyn-afk> just hit alt-F2 and then type vncviewer ip-address-of-vnc-machine
[11:11] <GuardianAtomos> matthew_w, yup. www.whatismyip.com is a quick way. Something like 65.22.123.12:0 in a vncviewer client should then work.
[11:11] <epimer> hi guys
[11:11] <dyn-afk> ola epimer
[11:11] <matthew_w> GuardianAtomos:  I'll try it
[11:11] <GlassCasket> Flannel: Instead of trying that and having me risk not being able to. Could I simply download the package, put it n my USB drive?
[11:12] <epimer> is there a way to install gaim 2.0 beta 3 that doesn't involve getting libraries from debian unstable repos?
[11:12] <matthew_w> It just hangs
[11:12] <dyn-afk> yes epimer: compile it :)
[11:12] <recon0> Is there any way to keep a program running after I close it's prompt?
[11:12] <matthew_w> GuardianAtomos: It just hangs for some reason
[11:12] <tritium> recon0: run it in a screen session
[11:12] <dyn-afk> recon0 you can run programs in the background when you put & behind the command
[11:13] <GuardianAtomos> matthew_w, you forwarded port 5900 to the machine running the vncserver? Then you tried to use vncviewer from another machine to connect to your IP address?
[11:13] <dyn-afk> however, they stay in the background until they're done
[11:13] <GuardianAtomos> And it still failed?
[11:13] <epimer> dyn-afk, tried - but a bit of a noob. the ./configure step worked fine, but the make stage failed
[11:13] <recon0> tritium:..?
[11:13] <nomis_> epimer, isn't there a autopackage for gaim2 ?
[11:13] <jrib> recon0: also you can disown it or run it using nohup, I think screen is the best option though
[11:13] <epimer> nomis_, is there? i only saw .rpms and .tar.gz
[11:13] <recon0> screen...session...?
[11:14] <GlassCasket> Ubuntu 6.06 is Dapper, right?
[11:14] <dyn-afk> yep
[11:14] <dyn-afk> dapper drake
[11:14] <GlassCasket> Thanks
[11:14] <recon0> jrib: tritium: screen...session...? Haven't heard of the term.
[11:14] <dyn-afk> screen is very useful
[11:14] <nomis_> epimer, http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gaim/gaim-2.0.0beta3.x86.package?download
[11:14] <jrib> !screen
[11:14] <ubotu> screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen
[11:14] <dyn-afk> you can detach the screen so it runs in the background
[11:14] <tritium> recon0: ^^
[11:15] <dyn-afk> after which you can reattach it
[11:15] <dyn-afk> very useful when doing some stuff on a remote server
[11:15] <nomis_> epimer, just execute this file
[11:15] <recon0> ok.
[11:16] <askyle> how can i get rid of gnome-screensaver (in a system-wide manner, without having to set it up by hand for every user in the machine)?
[11:16] <epimer> nomis_, ty
[11:16] <nomis_> welcome
[11:16] <GlassCasket> If I don't have build-essential installed, I'll still be ablt to do dpkg -i *.deb, right?
[11:16] <mamatoshi> hi all
[11:16] <nomis_> GlassCasket, yes
[11:16] <cmt> anyone here familiar with setting up Xgl?
[11:16] <GlassCasket> Thanks
[11:16] <andriijas> if im on the livecd, is it possible to expandthe unionfs mounted on /  with a SD-card ?
[11:17] <tritium> GlassCasket: yes, no relation between the two operations
[11:17] <Qwell> okay, that's just strange.  I finally see the raid option if I create a small partition at the start of each disk
[11:17] <epimer> nomis_, double-click tries to open it in gedit
[11:18] <protocol1> how do I check my kernel version from the console?
[11:18] <cmt> protocol2: uname -r
[11:18] <Qwell> protocol1: uname -r

[11:42] <khoda> mamatoshi: is it better to use it in a terminal?

I can even go in and set up my static IP and my WEP and everything, but it refuses to connect to the network. For comparison, I can get this adapter working in Windows (what I'm asking the question from, actually.) Any ideas?

[11:46] <magic_> SlyFly: using the 'tab' key should do the trick for you
[11:46] <mnp> SlyFly: go to your terminal, start typing the file name, as in My Documents, and then hit the tab.
[11:46] <Paladine> khoda that way you caninstall windows in a virtual machine should you need it for anything you can't do in linux
[11:46] <mamatoshi> !vmware
[11:46] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository. Instructions to install VMWare Server can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingVMWare
[11:46] <nny> b33rnut1: is the wifi light on ?
[11:46] <khoda> Paladine: im dual booting with windows, dont need that i don tthink
[11:46] <mnp> SlyFly: or try hitting it twice to see what options you have to choose from.
[11:46] <dyn-afk> you need to download some acpi stuff and some corrected acpi configuration file
[11:46] <Paladine> khoda, k
[11:46] <mnp> dyn-afk: ill look again
[11:46] <mnp> dyn-afk: send the link once more?

[11:46] <magic_> SlyFly: hit 'tab' key twice
[11:46] <khoda> Paladine: what other cool tools are there?
[11:46] <Paladine> khoda, well once you get into Xorg I will show you the goodness that is Xorg's future (XGL)
[11:47] <dyn-afk> here you go mnp : http://tuxmobil.org/asus_s1300n.html (check out the acpi part)
[11:47] <nny> b33rnut1: i have had to ifconfig up/down my broadcom and load the module in "not scanning mode" to get it to work, this was evident by a fast blinking light from the adapter vs. steady blinking
[11:47] <Ackeubu_> It seems as my gnome settings such as hotplug and everything is disabled, or disfunct! after uninstalling e16 and trying to install e17... =( i dont know what to do....
[11:47] <LjL> SlyFly: bah, i can't even find my way around the Real site... however, i wasn't aware there was a version of RealPlayer past version 10
[11:47] <b33rnut1> Hmm...I didn't look, actually. It seems to be working though because it detects all the networks in the neighborhood around me (like 10-15 of them.) including the one I'm trying to connet to.
[11:47] <SlyFly> Magic, that worked great...
[11:47] <khoda> Paladine: whats xorg
[11:47] <Paladine> khoda, best thing is to just use the system as you would use your normal desktop
[11:47] <dyn-afk> you need some tools and the DSDT file (the corrected acpi configuration)
[11:47] <Paladine> you should have openoffice installed for all your office document stuff
[11:47] <SlyFly> LJL, the Linux version is 10.0...the Windows version is 10.5...but there is a big difference
[11:47] <magic_> SlyFly: awesome!
[11:47] <nny> b33rnut1: yeah i had that issue, if you try an "iwconfig essid (your essid) mode managed key (if any)
[11:47] <Paladine> khoda Xorg is the desktop environment you are using at the moment
[11:47] <nny> b33rnut1: is this dappeR?
[11:47] <nosklo> khoda, linux has diversity, lots of people will tell you different things
[11:47] <khoda> Paladine: i thought it was gnome?
[11:48] <b33rnut1> nny: Dapper, yeah.
[11:48] <khoda> nosklo: i'm ready to hear them all :D
[11:48] <Paladine> khoda, gnome is a layer within Xorg
[11:48] <nny> b33rnut1: what does iwlist say?
[11:48] <khoda> Paladine: hmm
[11:48] <b33rnut1> nny: I can go check real quick, I'll ahve to restart into Ubuntu
[11:48] <nny> (guess it would say "networks found: blah) if you see them in network neighboorhood..
[11:48] <khoda`> test from linux
[11:48] <khoda`> wewt
[11:48] <LjL> mnp: does that file actually start with "madeb"?
[11:48] <SlyFly> Thanks again to MNP, Magic, and LJL!
[11:48] <nny> oh so not working in windows either?
[11:48] <nosklo> khoda, Xorg is a graphical server, graphical applications are clients to it. gnome is a group of Xorg client applications that compose your desktop
[11:48] <nny> (i should read your q again)
[11:48] <askyle> i thought Xorg was the X server, and gnome ran _on top_ of it?
[11:48] <Paladine> khoda you have xorg (the desktop server) gnome (Xorg environment) and Metacity (Window Manager)
[11:49] <b33rnut1> It's working in Windows
[11:49] <nosklo> khoda, but this information is not useful now
[11:49] <imme-emosol> (process:5455): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_hash_table_lookup: assertion `hash_table != NULL' failed
[11:49] <b33rnut1> Yeah, I guess I don't follow
[11:49] <askyle> (like nosklo said)
[11:49] <imme-emosol> gdm start error
[11:49] <mnp> LjL: let me check
[11:49] <imme-emosol> anyone an idea?
[11:49] <khoda> nosklo: knowledge is useful to me always :)
[11:49] <b33rnut1> I'm using it right now on my Windows partition
[11:49] <mnp> dyn-afk: i rember trying to following the instructions for the acpi for asus stuff but its way over my head and i was told i had to reconfigure the kernel
[11:49] <khoda> Paladine: so some people prefer other xorg environments to gnome?
[11:49] <nosklo> khoda, great... then the best you do is read a lot... almost everything is well documented
[11:49] <Paladine> khoda think of say a Stew (as in food) a Stew is a basic meal consisting of vegetables and someteimes meat
[11:50] <dyn-afk> I think that's part of that acpi thingy mnp
[11:50] <khoda> nosklo: can you point me in the right direction for documentation (for a beginner)
[11:50] <Paladine> but the ingredients in stew are different all over the world
[11:50] <nny> b33rnut1: my experience: iwconfig is your best bet, if it says "mac address: 000000" or such, than it is not truly connected... i wonder what card you have
[11:50] <LjL> khoda: ... yeah. ever heard of KDE? ;)
[11:50] <pppoe_dude> whats a format for web animations sorta like gif but open source?
[11:50] <dyn-afk> never tried it though (and never had to because it just works on my notebook)
[11:50] <nosklo> khoda, you can try ubuntu page for documentation
[11:50] <Paladine> well think of Xorg as the stew and Gnome as the ingredients
[11:50] <khoda> LjL: yes , but i havent heard of the differences between KDE and gnome
[11:50] <magic_> Whose got some nifty terminal tricks???
[11:50] <nosklo> khoda, the ubuntu wiki has loads of good knowledge
[11:50] <b33rnut1> nny: It's a DWL-G132 (D-Link) USB adapter
[11:50] <khoda> nosklo: will do, thanks
[11:50] <mnp> LjL: that was a typo. it starts deb, not madeb
[11:50] <djavie233> Anyone care to help me with a problem?
[11:50] <nosklo> khoda`, if you are trying to do something specific, try the ubuntu guide
[11:50] <magic_> djavie233: shoot
[11:51] <dyn-afk> b33rnut1 in my case wireless only worked properly after I deleted all contents (except lo0) from the /etc/network/interfaces file
[11:51] <nosklo> khoda, and the forums are a good place to search for advanced answers
[11:51] <imme-emosol> pppoe_dude: There isn't really I think?
[11:51] <nosklo> khoda, they are all in ubuntu web page
[11:51] <djavie233> ok
[11:51] <nny> btw speaking of Xorg and notebooks, anyone have an inkling of knowledge as to why Xorg7 + nvidia drivers = black screen at ctrl/alt f* or when i hibernate?
[11:51] <dyn-afk> I use the network manager applet for the wireless configuration and such
[11:51] <djavie233> I'm trying to use the Ubuntu Live CD
[11:51] <Ackeubu_> hey if i dont get a window frame for my windows why is that?
[11:51] <khoda> nosklo: my problem is that there ins't anything im trying to do in particular. i just want to learn. i wish there were a site that would give me random projects :P
[11:51] <djavie233> I reboot my Windows XP (Gateway) computer
[11:51] <LjL> khoda: it's not really easy to give the differences. they're different. you can say many things for one and against the other, but the most important difference is that they're different :) it's not easy to explain the differences between any two given desktops, including the Windows and MacOS ones..
[11:51] <nny> b33rnut1: gotta run, coffee shop is closing, good luck
[11:52] <khoda> LjL: could point
[11:52] <b33rnut1> Haha ok
[11:52] <djavie233> Then everything is fine and going smoothly. I choose the option to Start or Install
[11:52] <b33rnut1> Thanks
[11:52] <Paladine> LjL yeah difficult eh?
[11:52] <khoda> Paladine, nosklo : pizza here, thanks for your help. ttyl
[11:52] <Paladine> khoda no problem, enjoy it
[11:52] <nosklo> khoda, np
[11:52] <LjL> mnp: try removing the "us." from the first line (you need to edit as root, so "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" or "kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list"), then do a "sudo apt-get update"
[11:53] <djavie233> It runs ok, but then switches to a black screen and I get this message: Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel. pci_eisa : could not register EISA root." ANd then Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 293524" And it keeps repeating the latter over and over with different numbers (in front and back)
[11:53] <Paladine> okiaro, did you manage to get your keyboard problem solved
[11:54] <magic_> djavie233: did you checksum your disk before using it?
[11:54] <djavie233> I'm not a technie
[11:54] <djavie233> lol
[11:54] <djavie233> techie*
[11:54] <mnp> LjL; i still have the same message
[11:55] <Ackeubu_> Where and how does ubuntu configure wirless devices>
[11:55] <Ackeubu_> ?
[11:55] <magic_> djavie233: hmm, there's hope for you yet....on the boot screen you have options....one of them is to check the integrity or the like of the disk...do that
[11:55] <LjL> mnp: "apt-cache show libqt3-mt-dev", paste the output
[11:55] <fred__> hi, any idea how i can get an ip address from gaim?
[11:55] <djavie233> How?
[11:56] <gnomefreak> ompaul: getting ready?
[11:56] <gnomefreak> oh
[11:56] <minerale> hi what is the mas that is needed for file permissons to be 755
[11:56] <njs> I have a software project.  As a convenience for users, we distribute binaries of new versions, until distros have a chance to pick it up.  So our unofficial sid deb has version "<release number>-0.1", to avoid bumping into the official package.  What version do I use for a package built for, say, dapper?
[11:56] <nosklo> djavie233, reboot with ubuntu cd, and choose the "test cd" option
[11:56] <magic_> djavie233: there are 4 or 5 options when you bootup with the cd/dvd you are using...one of the options says "Check disk" or something like that...you should do that
[11:57] <magic_> djavie233: listen to nosklo
[11:57] <LjL> njs: try asking in #ubuntu-offtopic too
[11:57] <djavie233> I've already done that noskio, I checked the CD and it just goes to the same black screen
[11:57] <mnp> LjL: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18729
[11:58] <magic_> djavie233: have you had any problems running Windows XP recently?  Otherwise, I would download a fresh copy of Ubuntu and try again
[11:58] <mad_slackie> a good night to all
[11:58] <nosklo> djavie233, it seems your CD has an error
[11:58] <mamatoshi> has anyone tried the edgy eft knot 1?
[11:58] <mamatoshi> can you share the experience?
[11:58] <fred__> i need to get the ip of a person on my gaim (msn) list..
[11:59] <djavie233> I had a problem once with the HD, I called support and they just told me to unplug the HD and replug it. It's working fine. The problem was that one of the cables was a little lose on the HD
[11:59] <fred__> mamtoshi, i did, it's kinda cool, and 85% stable, but gnome still has that login bug
[11:59] <nosklo> fred__, ask it?
[11:59] <Paladine> fred_ why do you need their IP?
[11:59] <nosklo> fred__, ask to the person to give you their ip...
[11:59] <magic_> djavie233: pm
[11:59] <GlassCasket> So I tried modprobing ndiswrapper., but it said that the ndiswrapper module dosen't exist. Any ideas?
[12:00] <fred__> nosklo, of course im not gonna someone who is faking me for their ip.. right?
[12:00] <djavie233> magic_ I sent you a PM
[12:00] <fred__> Paladine, this person is faking..
[12:00] <LjL> mnp: do the same for the libqt3-mt package please (anyway, the problem seems to be that you somehow got installed a libqt3-mt that's more recent than the one that ships with kubuntu - my guess is that it comes from the kubuntu.org repositories, but you don't have them in your sources.list)
[12:00] <njs> LjL: err, are questions about ubuntu packaging off-topic to ubuntu?
[12:00] <Paladine> fred_ sounds like playground/schoolyard issues to me, not within the scope of this channel
