[12:00] <digitalhav0c> i used virtualdub in windows not sure if its available in linux
[12:01] <dli_> digitalhav0c, mencoder can do it
[12:01] <digitalhav0c> mencoder
[12:01] <Warbo> dandesousa: Sorry. I know Intel drivers are Free, but I don't know how to turn them on or anything
[12:01] <digitalhav0c> ok let me do some searches
[12:01] <digitalhav0c> thanks
[12:01] <Intangir> ax: im gonna try the smp stuff myself
[12:01] <Warbo> !info mencoder
[12:01] <ubotu> mencoder: MPlayer's Movie Encoder. In repository multiverse, is extra. Version 2:0.99+1.0pre7try2+cvs20060117-0ubuntu8 (dapper), package size 2912 kB, installed size 7004 kB
[12:01] <digitalhav0c> thanks
[12:01] <digitalhav0c> oh ok
[12:02] <digitalhav0c> probably already have it installed
[12:02] <digitalhav0c> then
[12:02] <digitalhav0c> now how to use
[12:02] <mcphail> digitalhav0c: some avi files can be simply added together with "cat". Won't work for everythinh, though.
[12:02] <digitalhav0c> it
[12:02] <digitalhav0c> hum
[12:02] <digitalhav0c> should i back them up first
[12:02] <digitalhav0c> right
[12:02] <digitalhav0c> then try
[12:02] <ax> Intangir: do you think the same headers will work with smp or are there other headers to dl?
[12:02] <dandesousa> !82810
[12:02] <ubotu> I know nothing about 82810 - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:02] <digitalhav0c> cat first.avi >> second.avi?
[12:02] <mwe> there is no way to convert a file system short of reformatting, is there?
[12:02] <abo> mplayer firefox plugin isn't working well, I can hear sounds but I can't see image, can anyone help?
[12:03] <mcphail> digitalhav0c: always "cat" onto third.avi!
[12:03] <dli_> digip1mp, try,  cat a.avi b.avi |mencoder -idx - -o ab.avi
[12:03] <dli_> digitalhav0c, , try,  cat a.avi b.avi |mencoder -idx - -o ab.avi
[12:03] <jrib> abo: do you have w32codecs installed?
[12:03] <Intangir> ax: i didnt see any extra speacual headers for the smp stuff
[12:03] <Ramanar> Hello everybody! I upgraded breezy to dapper a few days ago, everything seemed to go ok, but today I tried printing and it didn't work, Is there any expert on the subject here?
[12:03] <Warbo> digitalhav0c: "mencoder -o output.avi -ovc <output codec, like xvid> -oac <output codec, like mp3lame> file1.avi file2.avi" something like that (although you may need to give bitrate options like "-xvidencopts bitrate=256" and "-lameopts b=64")
[12:03] <Intangir> ax: so i guess they will work, i think its just a config option
[12:03] <Intangir> ax: but i dont know ;)
[12:03] <digitalhav0c> Warbo, oh shit
[12:03] <digitalhav0c> time to fuck up something lol
[12:03] <Warbo> !language
[12:04] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[12:04] <digitalhav0c> sorry
[12:04] <abo> jrib, I think I do, is there a way I can be sure?
[12:04] <ax> Intangir: cool :)
[12:04] <ax> well, i'll install them both and see
[12:04] <mcphail> digitalhav0c: if simple cat doesn't work, use mencoder as above. It's just that cat is much faster. MPEGs can be joined quite easily this way
[12:04] <jrib> abo: apt-cache policy w32codecs | grep -i Installed
[12:04] <digitalhav0c> oh ok
[12:05] <digitalhav0c> just trying to join to avi so i can use devde to make in to iso so i can burn to a dvd and watch on a regluar dvd player
[12:05] <dli_> digitalhav0c, this should work: cat a.avi b.avi|mencoder -idx -oac copy -ovc copy -o ab.avi -
[12:05] <digitalhav0c> ok
[12:05] <digitalhav0c> let me try
[12:06] <abo> jrib, I got this answer :" Installed: 20050412-1plf4  " , and in konqueror, I can see the video fine
[12:06] <storm> Is there documentation on OpenLdap for Ubuntu Server?
[12:06] <cello_rasp> when installnig on mac can you also get dual boot + grub on mba??
[12:07] <mcphail> digitalhav0c: I have a prog on my system called "avimerge". That seems to do the job too
[12:07] <mcphail> !info avimerge
[12:07] <ubotu> Package avimerge does not exist in dapper
[12:07] <mcphail> hmm
[12:07] <abo> jrib, I suppose the problem is not codec related then, no?
[12:07] <Intangir> mcphail: avimerge? whats that, sounds like something ffmpeg might be good for
[12:07] <storm> !info openldap
[12:07] <dli_> mcphail, avidemux
[12:07] <ubotu> Package openldap does not exist in dapper
[12:07] <storm> !info ldap
[12:07] <ubotu> Package ldap does not exist in dapper
[12:08] <jrib> abo: hmm, if you download the file, can mplayer play it locally?
[12:09] <cello_rasp> can one dual boot with ubuntu on mac?
[12:09] <synthjet> !info sudoers
[12:09] <ubotu> Package sudoers does not exist in dapper
[12:09] <Dasnipa`> cello_rasp, i would guess as much
[12:09] <cello_rasp> Dasnipa` are you sure that mac uses the mba
[12:09] <cello_rasp> mbr sorry
[12:09] <quiet> ow can i set the theme on synaptic? it's got the default, ugly theme...
[12:10] <quiet> s/ow/how
[12:10] <Cntryboy> wme: update lol, it's at 40% lol
[12:10] <cello_rasp> quiet it need to be given root access to themes, its on the forums
[12:10] <Dasnipa`> cello_rasp, i believe the mac 'bootcamp' software was actually tested with ubuntu...
[12:10] <ardchoille> quiet: gksudo gnome-theme-manager
[12:10] <mwe> Cntryboy, proressing at least :)
[12:10] <mcphail> digitalhav0c: there is also a prog called "any2dvd" which can put your avi files directly onto dvd. I have never had any success with it though.
[12:11] <mwe> Cntryboy, so an hour wasn't that wild afterall even though it was a joke
[12:11] <Cntryboy> lol
[12:12] <jvai> hey every1..
[12:12] <davey_> how can i switch my graphics card driver to something better because my ati 200 xpress flickers sometime
[12:12] <mwe> it's getting late here
[12:12] <jvai> i've been using this channel as a class of sorts
[12:12] <davey_> I also have an amd64 kernel just as a fact
[12:13] <Cntryboy> mwe: lol
[12:13] <mwe> davey_, I don't think ati provides a binary driver for 64bit linux
[12:13] <Cntryboy> mwe: sucks being in the country and 5 min down road they have broad but not here lol, lazy bellsouth
[12:13] <ardchoille> jvai: Aye, this channel is awesome and I have learned a great deal here. There are times that I can't type fast enough in my wiki to keep up with it, lol
[12:13] <Cntryboy> or shall I say cheap bellsouth
[12:13] <davey_> mwe, so their is nothign I can do to change it, are their any options that I can do
[12:13] <jvai> lol.. same!
[12:13] <Cntryboy> lol
[12:13] <horus> heyy all
[12:13] <horus> :D
[12:14] <davey_> mwe, when I start a graphics intence application it does that every so offten that kind of bothers me and I was just wondering.
[12:14] <jvai> dont have to ask questions, just open the channel, & watch
[12:14] <horus> anyone got a thinkpad
[12:14] <mwe> davey_, hmm
[12:14] <davey_> jvai, thats what you can do with most channels
[12:14] <ardchoille> jvai: :)
[12:14] <davey_> mwe, have I talked to you before on this
[12:14] <jvai> tru, i do that in the debian 1 also
[12:14] <davey_> mwe, becasue the name sounds familler
[12:14] <Cntryboy> mwe: where you live at?
[12:14] <mwe> davey_, how does it flicker. not like low frequency?
[12:14] <mwe> davey_, maybe
[12:15] <davey_> mwe, like random flashes
[12:15] <mwe> Cntryboy, Denmark
[12:15] <lullabud> what are the /etc/group- and /etc/passwd- files for?
[12:15] <ardchoille> davey_: But the ops in this channel do an excellent job of keeping everything "in order"
[12:15] <lullabud> the man pages had no help...
[12:15] <quiet> ardchoille: it says it can't start the theme manager... may be a problem with bonobo... or something like that.
[12:15] <Cntryboy> cool
[12:15] <mcphail> lullabud: /etc/group- or /etc/group~ ?
[12:15] <davey_> It only lets me choise one flicker rate, 60
[12:15] <mwe> davey_, well I don't know how you'd fix that
[12:15] <davey_> alright
[12:16] <davey_> 64 bit linux has had some rough times, I would love to see people maintainging it more
[12:16] <synthjet> hi.. I screwed my root privs (yes, dumb of me but I had probs mounting/grub etc) and am now unable to sudo.. anyhelp editing /etc/sudoers using live CD?
[12:16] <mwe> davey_, maybe because it's not accellerated
[12:16] <jvai> was readin the slashdot disscussion on the new debian etch, i didnt finish tho, was @ work, but now i'm in a STARBUCKS
[12:16] <lullabud> mcphail: ...those are the same.
[12:16] <lullabud> mcphail: i'm talking about the ones with a dash on the end.
[12:16] <mwe> davey_, so when it get's loaded it flickers? but Im guessing
[12:16] <davey_> synthjet, what you do you mean you can't sudo?
[12:16] <mcphail> lullabud: - or ~
[12:16] <lullabud> mcphail: dash, not tilde
[12:16] <synthjet> it says I am not priveleged to sudo
[12:17] <davey_> mwe, it flickers when I open something like, flock, or gimp or move a window alot
[12:17] <mwe> synthjet, just boot to recovery mode and fix it as root
[12:17] <mcphail> lullabud: no idea in that case
[12:17] <ardchoille> quiet: That's odd, it works fine here.
[12:17] <mwe> davey_, hmm
[12:17] <lullabud> mcphail: i don't see any /etc/* files that end with a tilde.
[12:17] <eternalswd> how do I access windows shares from ubuntu?
[12:18] <synthjet> davey_: I tried.. is the default : root ALL=(ALL) ALL & username ALL=(ALL) ALL?
[12:18] <quiet> ardchoille: with a newly created user, or with the original first user?
[12:18] <mcphail> lullabud: some editors create backup files with a tilde at the end
[12:18] <mwe> synthjet, the default lets everyone in admin use sudo
[12:18] <davey_> synthjet, did you say your useing the live cd? and try what mwe said
[12:18] <jvai> is the easyubuntu fixed? i wanted to ubuntunize anothr box
[12:18] <synthjet> ok tried that just now.. let me reboot and login..
[12:19] <Coffeegrinds> anyone have an idea how to get /dev/input/event2 to work as a mouse in X (tis my gamepad)
[12:19] <eternalswd> I went to network servers and there was Windows Network, but it's empty even though I know I have a shared folder
[12:19] <snoops> eternalswd places>network servers.. places>connect to server.. another option is to smb:// it in nautilus..another option is mounting it
[12:19] <davey_> jvai, easyubuntu is usualy not a good idea
[12:19] <jvai> ??
[12:19] <mwe> synthjet, %admin  ALL=(ALL) ALL
[12:19] <mirak> ubuntu release cycle is way to long
[12:19] <ardchoille> quiet: With the original
[12:19] <Cntryboy> mwe: so whats ur age man?
[12:19] <davey_> jviai, because even if it works it causes thinks to become confused in the system for example totem usualy has the most problems
[12:19] <synthjet> mew: oh yeah.. osrry I had error copying here :)
[12:19] <ardchoille> quiet: Only one person on any of my computers is allowed to sudo or call su
[12:20] <mwe> Cntryboy, 23
[12:20] <mirak> there should be a dev version where deep system changings are done, but the user applications should evolve with the time they are realeased public
[12:20] <Cntryboy> cool 26 here, old fart
[12:20] <davey_> mirak, it's called edgy elff
[12:20] <jvai> noo, i got easy ubuntu on this box now, & i'm playing "nj drive" dvd as we type
[12:20] <mwe> heh
[12:20] <usr-bin-drinkin> What is the origin of the african word Ubuntu?
[12:20] <jvai> but i'm on hoary tho
[12:20] <davey_> jvai, maybe it's changed since I used it I used to use it back on 5.1 when I didn't feel like configureing it manuly
[12:20] <mwe> origin? africa?
[12:20] <Coffeegrinds> zulu i believe
[12:21] <usr-bin-drinkin> the linguistic origin.
[12:21] <Cntryboy> mwe: so what are the laws against mj there in denmark?
[12:21] <mirak> davey_: no, because no software upgrades are done to dapper
[12:21] <mwe> Cntryboy, mj?
[12:21] <mwe> Cntryboy, what's that?
[12:21] <mirak> davey_: that's edgy eft, unless you meant something else
[12:21] <Coffeegrinds> sub-sahara is african
[12:21] <jvai> ok, well, i wanted to use dapper in an HP desktop, but w/o libdvdcss2 from th french servrs... i dunno
[12:22] <Hexidigital> usr-bin-drinkin: you should be able to find the etymology on dictionary.com
[12:22] <mirak> Coffeegrinds: all sahara is africa
[12:22] <Cntryboy> mwe: marijuana
[12:22] <mirak> Coffeegrinds: all sahara is african
[12:22] <Coffeegrinds> ok how about i paste

[12:23] <dli_> jvai, totem should play dvd too
[12:23] <davey_> dli_, not out of the box I don't think
[12:23] <Coffeegrinds> BANTU!!!!
[12:23] <mwe> Cntryboy, it's Illegal but you get away with much smaller fines than in the US. usually the police will let you go for small amounts unless they have a bad day
[12:24] <solarce> powerdvd plas dvds nicely
[12:24] <Coffeegrinds> ok enough with google..
[12:24] <jvai> just totem-xine, but what if i did anothr box "today"? would dapper work w/ easyubuntu?
[12:24] <mwe> Cntryboy, I mean they wont fine you if you only have a little
[12:24] <synthjet> mwe: I am getting: "must be setuid root"
[12:24] <eternalswd> I went to network servers and there was Windows Network, but it's empty even though I know I have a shared folder.  How do I troubleshoot this?
[12:24] <snoops> mwe illegal but decriminalised?
[12:24] <Cntryboy> mwe: ya us sucks when it comes to stupid stuff such as mj
[12:24] <Coffeegrinds> smokin it now
[12:25] <davey_> eternalswd, you don't have samba set up correctly
[12:25] <skavenge> isnt there supposed to be a 'splash screen' option underneath system -> preferences?
[12:25] <mwe> snoops, well somewhat at least
[12:25] <jvai> right now i have hoary on a thinkpad t40
[12:25] <solarce> skavenge: nope
[12:25] <eternalswd> davey_, is there a good howto for setting up samba?
[12:25] <mwe> snoops, you'll got to jail if you possess a few kilos or something. less than that fines or nothing
[12:26] <synthjet> skavenge: apt-get install ubuntu-splash-manager??
[12:26] <snoops> k, so as much as you can fit under your hat kinda deal :)

[12:26] <Hexidigital> ah, to be 13 again
[12:27] <avalean> capslock is the cruisecontrol for coolness
[12:27] <sgfsg> hy, whats the 'cin' command in a sh file?
[12:27] <skavenge> synthjet: no such thing
[12:27] <mwe> snoops, if you have say ten grams you'd definately get a fine. but maybe like $100 the first time
[12:27] <gnomefreak> sgfsg: sh file.sh
[12:27] <gnomefreak> skavenge: splashscreen-manager
[12:27] <Coffeegrinds> I pReFeR TeH ShIfT Keyz 4 Teh InTerNets
[12:27] <skavenge> gnomefreak: thanks, isnt that installed by default or no?
[12:27] <sgfsg> i mean, i must type in my script a passwort (sudo smbmount)
[12:27] <snoops> mwe seems far more reasonable
[12:27] <gnomefreak> skavenge: no
[12:27] <jvai> i cant joint shares in the active dir, @ work
[12:27] <synthjet> mwe: I am getting: "must be setuid root" and Xsession crashes with error: "permission denied"
[12:27] <gnomefreak> skavenge: gnome-art installs it
[12:27] <davey_> eternalswd, if you have trouble setting it up I'll be on for another 30 min
[12:28] <mwe> synthjet, I forgot you problem was it sudo?
[12:28] <skavenge> aah its gnome-splashscreen-manager
[12:28] <synthjet> skavenge: gnome-splashscreen-manager that shud work
[12:28] <nexus_> i mean in a shell script (.sh) how i can say the file that he types my passwort?
[12:28] <synthjet> mwe: yeah.. unable to sudo
[12:28] <synthjet> now unable to log-in
[12:29] <skavenge> i guess i installed it on my other system without realizing and though it was stock
[12:29] <mwe> synthjet, oh. what did you do to break it?
[12:29] <synthjet> I mounted and chmodded all "/" files to 755 :( dumb of me?
[12:29] <davey_> synthjet, you said your using the live cd though
[12:29] <synthjet> I thought that might rectify!
[12:29] <synthjet> then.. but after rebooting, now unable to log-in
[12:30] <dli_> synth7, you can get it back, but not easily
[12:30] <mwe> snoops, wouldn't you get a large fine or even going to jail for 10 grams in many states in the US?
[12:30] <digital> I'm looking for information on a virus. What's the best place to search
[12:30] <digital> Oh, Here's what clamav got = HTML.Phishing.Pay-157
[12:30] <mwe> digital, google maybe
[12:30] <davey_> digital, check mcaffie virus database
[12:30] <Coffeegrinds> spyware moreso
[12:30] <jvai> wow
[12:30] <SammyXFE> Hey, I need help.
[12:30] <digital> mwe: I did that
[12:30] <davey_> sammyXFE, what do you need
[12:30] <synthjet> dli_ any hinters?
[12:31] <digital> mwe: Most places either don't know anything about it or they have it listed but they don't say what it does
[12:31] <Coffeegrinds> digital thats spyware fo sure
[12:31] <SammyXFE> I "sudo rm -r /tmp" uh, how do I fix this?
[12:31] <davey_> synthjet, I am pretty sure you said you are on the live cd, was I right or not, becasue that is imporant
[12:31] <dli_> synthjet, read this gentoo doc: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/security/security-handbook.xml?part=1&chap=6
[12:31] <mwe> digital, well a virus database then. some av programs are using their own names for some viruses though I think
[12:31] <davey_> samyxfe, it's kind of complicated but I know how
[12:31] <SammyXFE> Thank you
[12:31] <digital> Coffeegrinds: How do I know it's spyware?
[12:31] <blup|patrick> hi
[12:31] <heatxsink> what is the difference between runlevel 4 and runlevel 2?
[12:31] <SammyXFE> I "sudo mkdir /tmp" and set the permissions to 777
[12:31] <davey_> sammyxfe, you have to do something like sudo modprobe (/tm$p)
[12:31] <davey_> wait no
[12:31] <davey_> sorry
[12:31] <dli_> synthjet, beyond those special file (folders), you simply need common sense
[12:31] <solarce> heatxsink: 2
[12:32] <Coffeegrinds> digital: simple look at the name itself.. given it's an html. driven phishing script
[12:32] <Dimensions> hie guys .... i have ubuntu installed on my laptop as a standalone os ... i want to install windows beside it .. there is no extra partition on the hdd how can i do it ? ...
[12:32] <digital> mwe: I see. I'm trying to find out why clamav marked it as a virus.
[12:32] <davey_> sammyxfe, sudo modprobe $(/tmp)
[12:32] <cpk2> heatxsink: nothing
[12:32] <heatxsink> cpk2:  thanks
[12:32] <Anariki_Sharmuta> FUCK
[12:32] <mwe> digital, heruestics maybe
[12:32] <Anariki_Sharmuta> HOLA
[12:32] <synthjet> davey_, I was on live CD when I made those changes.. but later when I try to log-in via HD boot, it gives error
[12:32] <Anariki_Sharmuta> A TODO EL MUNDO
[12:32] <SammyXFE> should I remove the tmp I just made?
[12:32] <davey_> sammyxfe, try that first if it doesn't work tell me
[12:32] <blup|patrick> has someone an idea, why my matroska video fiels dont load subtitles?

[12:33] <Coffeegrinds> digital: i'd sugest going down some spyware forums
[12:33] <SammyXFE> davey_: sudo modprobe $(/tmp) said bash: /tmp: is a directory
[12:33] <digital> Coffeegrinds: So are you saying this may not be a virus. That clamav is marking it as a virus to be safe
[12:33] <synthjet> :D davey_ this was after 5+ hours of getting a triple boot to work, and having screwed up grub! :)
[12:33] <mwe> Cntryboy, about mj, wouldn't you get a large fine or even be going to jail for 10 grams in many states in the US?
[12:34] <castra> hi all ..anyome using 3com wireless card ? its been working all along but after I installed latest version of ubuntu it just doesn't ?
[12:34] <davey_> SammyXFE, ok, ummm
[12:34] <Crescendo> I'm getting horrible audio quality out of my nForce 2 onboard audio controller.  What would be the cause for this, and how do I remedy it?
[12:34] <cavediver> Hi again. How do i remove those annoying win-trail-animation when starting a program from the top-bar?
[12:34] <Coffeegrinds> Digital: you got it, AVG dpes the same for certain ones, cant clean em but at least you know where to start..
[12:34] <SammyXFE> Damn, this is like the time I "chmod 000 /bin/chmod"
[12:34] <SammyXFE> I really fubar'd
[12:34] <Cntryboy> mwe: yes but not all, california and colorado it's a slap on the wrist if that lol
[12:34] <gnomefreak> brb
[12:34] <solarce> gnomefreak: what posses people to do that?
[12:34] <digital> Coffeegrinds: Thanks! I'll do more searching.
[12:34] <cpk2> california mj is legal for medicinal purposes
[12:34] <Cntryboy> mwe: here in TN since most crops for usa was produced in huge, its a felony for most minors now
[12:35] <Coffeegrinds> digital: np. watch it with some of the cleaning tools though
[12:35] <Mqueue> hello
[12:35] <mwe> oh
[12:35] <blup|patrick> matroska and subtitles... i need a hint, a guess... anything i can google with
[12:35] <blup|patrick> please help me :(
[12:35] <Cntryboy> cpk2: yah and so are about 7 more states, but medical ppl are getting sent to prison as well if it goes higher than states
[12:35] <davey_> SammyXFE, I read your thing wrong i thought you typed something else, sorry I think that you maybe beable to use natalus to make a new directory
[12:36] <SammyXFE> I made a new one, but how do I get my startup screen to look the same?
[12:36] <cpk2> Cntryboy: if the feds care enough to catch you then yah you are in trouble
[12:36] <Cntryboy> cpk2: i know that didn't make much since, but just because someone has a medical card and get's busted, some are still going to prison, I think federal is the reason
[12:36] <SammyXFE> Like my login.
[12:36] <SammyXFE> I want to remove and damage I might have done to the base system.
[12:36] <cavediver> Noone?
[12:36] <iCy^> me
[12:36] <iCy^> :>
[12:36] <cpk2> i'm sure lots of people use wireless
[12:37] <iCy^> i use wireless castra
[12:37] <iCy^> why
[12:37] <gnomefreak> Solarion: ask in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[12:37] <synthjet> SammyXFE do you have your /home intact?
[12:37] <the_mug> does anyone know the necessary packages to install on a fresh Dapper install... for make to work... I already installed gcc and make
[12:37] <Cntryboy> cpk2: but thats kinda lame though isn't it, if the state passes a law for medical and you have a medical card, feds shouldn't be able to do anything if the state law has been passed, another way usa will screw u over I guess
[12:37] <SammyXFE> Yes
[12:37] <castra> iCy^, can you help me trace error on mine ?
[12:37] <mwe> heh. I installed linux on my mp3 player.
[12:37] <gnomefreak> the_mug: build-essential
[12:37] <SammyXFE> synthjet: yes.
[12:37] <jvai> i use wireless mostly, xcept @ work
[12:37] <synthjet> then that should get your settings in order (settings like log0in etc)
[12:37] <Cntryboy> mwe: firmware??
[12:37] <Bonez56> omg i'm on overnight shift at work and i just fell asleep for 4 hours
[12:37] <Cntryboy> mwe: i know someone who put linux on ipod
[12:37] <Cntryboy> lol
[12:37] <quiet> so here's an awesome question... say.. for example.. i was in users and groups... and i unchecked 'allow user to run administrative commands'....  how in the heck would I fix that?
[12:38] <castra> iCy^, it worked all aloge but after I installed xubuntu it just doesn't
[12:38] <mwe> Cntryboy, what about the firmware?
[12:38] <SammyXFE> synthjet: when I use the admin panel, it doen't bring anything up when i click on stuff.
[12:38] <goatmale> lol quiet
[12:38] <quiet> v_v
[12:38] <tuxtux> notte a tutti
[12:38] <davey_> quiet, you could make a new user
[12:38] <sunrises> hi all. Why mplayer isn't in ubuntu repositories? I just find kmplayer..
[12:38] <quiet> davey_: HOW
[12:38] <Cntryboy> mwe: did you flash ur mp3 player with linux firmware?
[12:38] <the_mug> gnomefreak: apt-get install build-essential?
[12:38] <mwe> Cntryboy, no
[12:38] <iCy^> castra, what kind of wlan card do you have?
[12:38] <gnomefreak> the_mug: yes
[12:38] <quiet> davey_: user no longer has privileges
[12:38] <SammyXFE> and my logout button no longer has a shutdown or restart
[12:38] <user-land> when i try to change the keyboard layout i get 'Error activating XKB configuration.'
[12:38] <castra> iCy^, 3com one
[12:38] <iCy^> 1 with an rt2500 chipset
[12:38] <cius> I really wish I could hack my mp3 players firmware, cause the official crap is pure crap.
[12:38] <davey_> quiet, lets see first lets see if this is simple go to system user accounts
[12:38] <iCy^> hmm
[12:38] <cpk2> davey_: pretty sure by default new users cant run administrative commands
[12:39] <cpk2> plus who would make the new user?
[12:39] <mwe> Cntryboy, I'm just using it as an usb stick extarnel drive
[12:39] <Cntryboy> mwe: I think thats how he did the ipod so he could use all formats for songs or something
[12:39] <castra> iCy^, its supported and workf with prism54
[12:39] <mwe> Cntryboy, It's functioning like a live cd
[12:39] <quiet> davey_: it's no longer in the administration menu...
[12:39] <davey_> cpk2, then maybe we'll have to do this the linux way instead of the ubuntu way by making a superuser
[12:39] <xipietotec> I downloaded candido desktop engine and it tells me to compile it with the following but it does not work: ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-animation
[12:39] <xipietotec> make
[12:39] <xipietotec> make install
[12:39] <Cntryboy> mwe: ut oh
[12:39] <synthjet> quiet: did you too screw up sudoers?
[12:39] <Cntryboy> mwe: ran into a prob with update
[12:39] <davey_> quiet, alright, lets see
[12:39] <castra> iCy^,   I mean light it on , card is working but no conection
[12:39] <mwe> Cntryboy, oh
[12:39] <the_mug> gnomefreak: nm I asked and then tried... should've been the reverse.. worked thanks
[12:39] <cpk2> quiet: you could try logging in as root
[12:39] <quiet> synthjet: no i just edited users and groups
[12:39] <cpk2> quiet try su -
[12:39] <quiet> root ins;t enabled.
[12:39] <Cntryboy> mwe yah ill put it on paste bin
[12:40] <quiet> it does nothing
[12:40] <mwe> yes
[12:40] <davey_> cpk2, he can't untill he makes a new unix password
[12:40] <cpk2> booo
[12:40] <quiet> single-user mode?
[12:40] <davey_> does anyone know how to make -su work in ubuntu, I know it does I've done it before
[12:40] <mwe> Cntryboy, gotta go soon though
[12:40] <quiet> should work, yeah?
[12:40] <xipietotec> Anyone have any clue how to compile it then?
[12:40] <iCy^> castra
[12:40] <cpk2> su - should let you log in as root
[12:40] <mwe> davey_, just type sudo -i when you need a roo login
[12:40] <iCy^> wich type of 3com?
[12:40] <castra> iCy^, yes ??
[12:40] <Cntryboy> mwe: okay ill try to hurry for some reason its starting over ill show u js
[12:40] <quiet> it won;t cause root isn't enabled.
[12:40] <xipietotec> sudo -i gets you into root
[12:41] <davey_> cpk2, he can't he's on ubuntu
[12:41] <ax> Intangir: seems to be working fine for me :) [vmware on the k7-smp kernel]

[12:41] <funkyHat> How careful do I need to be when choosing a USB Bluetooth adapter?
[12:41] <funkyHat> How careful do I need to be when choosing a USB Bluetooth adapter?
[12:41] <synthjet> davey: sudo -s? or http://www.ducea.com/2006/06/21/ubuntu-how-to-enable-the-root-account/
[12:41] <davey_> funkyhat, not very, the chip is well suported
[12:41] <cpk2> dont think he can use sudo
[12:41] <Cntryboy> mwe: http://pastebin.ca/100223
[12:41] <quiet> ^  indeed
[12:42] <castra> iCy^, was that the answer you needed ?
[12:42] <quiet> i'm gonna try booting to single-user and setting root passwd
[12:42] <quiet> back in a bit.
[12:42] <davey_> k

[12:43] <castra> iCy^, its pcmcia :D ofcourse
[12:43] <ardchoille> bbiab
[12:43] <mwe> Cntryboy, the same file again?
[12:43] <user-land> do i need to reinstall Ubuntu to change the keyboard layout ?
[12:43] <davey_> user-land, no
[12:43] <gnomefreak> user-land: no
[12:43] <mwe> user-land, just edit xorg.conf
[12:44] <gnomefreak> user-land: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:44] <Cntryboy> mwe: what?
[12:44] <mwe> Cntryboy, I was thinking maybe it's just getting another file. I'm not sure what's up
[12:44] <user-land> i did the dpkg thing several times. i will try mwe's advice.
[12:45] <mwe> user-land, grep -i layout /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:45] <Cntryboy> mwe: well I stoped it I think it was starting over
[12:45] <user-land> thing is the error i get was discussed in 2005: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-75052.html
[12:45] <davey_> can I ask a dumb question, why doesn't ubuntu repositories have an ubdated verion of qtstalker it's only at .21 and I think the current is at .37
[12:45] <mwe> Cntryboy, that's odd, and annoying at that speed
[12:45] <Cntryboy> yup
[12:45] <Cntryboy> anyways I went back to gyach page it says this
[12:45] <davey_> I just wanted to throw that out there to make people know that we use that program
[12:45] <Cntryboy> Additionally, Gyach-E requires GtkHTML-2, and pY! Voice Chat requires PyGtk-2. (Pre-built versions of these libraries are available in the Download
[12:46] <Cntryboy> it list the html-2 i need, but which file to get in download area? http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=57756
[12:46] <Centaur5> Does anybody know of a program that can turn the output volume of a song down (audacity only lets you increase)?
[12:46] <user-land> that looks good, mwe: '        Option          "XkbLayout"     "sg"'
[12:46] <mwe> Cntryboy, I gotta go. see you later
[12:46] <Cntryboy> mwe: okay thx for help
[12:46] <mwe> user-land, what's the layout you want?
[12:46] <mwe> Cntryboy, yw
[12:47] <mwe> user-land, gotta go.
[12:47] <user-land> problem is i don't get a '#' where it should be ...

[12:47] <davey_> mwe, night
[12:47] <Bonez56> I am having problem with truecrypt, does anyone here use it?

[12:51] <blup|patrick> it palyed anything there :|
[12:51] <bunta> I was recommended a black theme a while ago.. I guess around breezy time?
[12:51] <xipietotec> It gives direction but ubuntu does not seem to recognize the ./compile command
[12:51] <blup|patrick> DaveyJ: totem has video, but no subtitles
[12:52] <blup|patrick> and totem fails to render h264 without a crash :|
[12:52] <bunta> So yeah

[12:53] <matko> what does this mean ? (Requires keyword)
[12:54] <blup|patrick> if matrsoka files are played
[12:54] <matko> when trying to connect
[12:54] <Noumaan> I think I have found a bug in Firefox for ubuntu
[12:54] <davey_> matko, you should register with nickserv
[12:54] <davey_> noumaan, first is it the new edition?
[12:54] <andy-> matko, /msg nickserv help register
[12:54] <davey_> noumann, what happens with it
[12:54] <matko> thx will try
[12:54] <Noumaan> davey I dont know I am new to linux and community
[12:55] <Noumaan> davey do you mind if I explain what I am experiencing here?
[12:55] <davey_> Noumaan, go head
[12:55] <frisky> Anyone: What is the difference between the Ubuntu CD and Ubuntu DVD
[12:55] <frisky> Anyone: packages, etc
[12:55] <davey_> frisky, more software (that you can get online anyway)
[12:55] <matko> NickServ does NOT exist on this net! :))
[12:55] <matko> funny. why?
[12:55] <matko> only for registred?
[12:56] <Noumaan> davey Well I read lots of Urdu webpages. Urdu is Pakistani language that uses arabic script and needs unicode fonts for Urdu to be installed and there are plenty of such fonts
[12:56] <davey_> matko, NickServ is on freenode only so check to makesure your on that one
[12:56] <frisky> davey_:  sort of like the desktop version and server version combined?
[12:56] <bunta> Nope, cant find it..
[12:56] <davey_> frisky, more like you don't have to download other softare stuff because synaptic just reads it off of the dvd
[12:56] <morrolan> hey all, I get an error when turning CAPS on or off: "Bad key or directory name: "/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/host-~corwin~/0/numlock_on": `~' is an invalid character in key/directory names"
[12:56] <Noumaan> davey previously in breezy all I had to do was to copy paste fonts in .fonts or usr/share/fonts folder and fc-cache and firefox would display urdu pages correctltly
[12:57] <davey_> noumaan, is your linux version in english or that language
[12:57] <morrolan> I can'
[12:57] <frisky> davey_: thanks!
[12:57] <morrolan> t have a ~ in my hostname can I?
[12:57] <aujordanh> between my roomate and I, we have a mac, pc, and ubuntu box. How can we use an old computer to stream movies and music to home entertainment system?
[12:57] <Noumaan> davey with Dapper no matter how I paste fonts and where ever firefox doesn't recognize them and no other browser like epiphany or any other would recognize any of these fonts
[12:57] <the_mug> this version of xchat blows.... is there any way of installing the same version that Breezy had? (I'm on Dapper with xchat-gnome)
[12:57] <davey_> noumaan, this is a hard question but, does it work on outher platforms.. like windows mac because it if doesn't it is with firefox not linux
[12:58] <davey_> frisky, anytime man
[12:58] <Noumaan> davey firefox on windows displays fonts correctly
[12:58] <davey_> noumaan, does the browser not display it correctly, crash or what?
[12:58] <Gullstad> How exctract *.rar files from terminal?
[12:59] <Noumaan> davey all browsers display such pages in other fonts like serif or ms fonts
[12:59] <brodavi> I need some help... I need to install version 2.7 of monotone rather than the available 2.4 version... I can download the 2.7 version (.deb file) from the website, but installing it apparently requires libboost libraries 1.32, and doesn't like the libboost libraries 1.33 that I have. I have no idea how to downgrade those libraries or tell monotone to just use the 1.33 versions.... help! I'm getting murderous!
[12:59] <Mean_Guy> hoi
[12:59] <psybapunk> what a problem
[12:59] <snoops> I'm looking for database management apps for linux.. I've found mysql query browser to be very buggy..finding knoda to be alright, but wondering if anyone can suggest other options?
[01:00] <synthjet> Noumaan: try http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_Extra_Fonts
[01:00] <davey_> noumaan, It could be a rendering problem.. i'm not sure from what I hear it just doesn't display correctly
[01:00] <Dimensions> hi im installing windows with ubuntu and resizing the hdd .. what is the best option for windows to be set to ... a Fat32 or NTFS ?
[01:00] <davey_> synthjet, he says he has them all
[01:00] <Noumaan> synnthjet I have read the guide you mentioned many times and followed each and every step mentioned there
[01:00] <synthjet> davey_: sorry, my wrong
[01:00] <davey_> Dimensions, Fat32 can be read by linux ntfs works better in linux
[01:00] <davey_> I mean windows
[01:00] <davey_> Ntfs makes windows run better
[01:01] <Cntryboy> Anyone know how I can get libgtkhtml-2 package?
[01:01] <davey_> because it can handle HUGE files
[01:01] <davey_> Cntryboy, is it in synaptic?
[01:01] <Cntryboy> davey_ : nope
[01:01] <davey_> Cntryboy, turn on outher repositorys
[01:01] <snoops> fat32 is terrible.. just use the ext2(can access ext3 without journaling) driver for windows if you want to share files between
[01:01] <iCy^> trusten all
[01:01] <Cntryboy> davey_: I have universe/multiverse added to all lines like i'm supposed to
[01:01] <davey_> snoops, but fat32 is clasic
[01:01] <aujordanh> can ubuntu be easily installed on an old computer and made into a wifi media stream to tv
[01:01] <eternalswd> I was able to see a samba share from windows, but it was asking for a password even though I had it set to public share, what do I do?
[01:02] <Cntryboy> davey_:E: Couldn't find package libgtkhtml-2

[01:02] <bunta> damnit
[01:02] <bunta> completely lost
[01:02] <bunta> Who here
[01:02] <Noumaan> davey so what you suggest what should I do now? because the problem is with all browsers including epiphany and mozilla I guess there is something missing in ubuntu packages or gnome packages. Where should I go now?
[01:02] <bunta> remembers an app, which basically lets u browse thru various themes, downloads and installs it for u
[01:02] <bunta> it used to be under the !theme trigger
[01:02] <snoops> so is my apple iic at home davey_.. doesn't mean I'd consider using it for anything
[01:02] <Dimensions> ummmz... so what do u suggest for which one i should go ... i would need this windows for a few weeks then will reformat it though ... but need it for my ms dissertation davey_
[01:02] <cpk2> Cntryboy: you could try the plf repo
[01:02] <davey_> Noumaan, There is a person you should try to talk to I think he is on here he has helped me report bugs before his screen name is Gnomefreak
[01:02] <quiet> http://rafb.net/paste/results/FGA7mq65.html
[01:03] <Cntryboy> davey_: far as I know
[01:03] <Cntryboy> non-officals are like for xgl and stuff so no on that
[01:03] <Cntryboy> but that wouldn't matter

[01:03] <Noumaan> davey Do you think I should send him a private message?
[01:03] <davey_> Cntryboy, alright.... hummmm maybe, you could get the deb package for it (google) or find the source and compile it
[01:03] <gnomefreak> Noumaan: what do you need?
[01:04] <gnomefreak> im here for like a min
[01:04] <davey_> gnomefreak, he thinks he may have a bug i doubt it though
[01:04] <davey_> gnomefreak, I told him to ask you because your the expert
[01:04] <gnomefreak> i need to know the issue
[01:04] <davey_> gnomefreak, he has a rendering problme with a font
[01:04] <jbrimble> anyone know why this is happening? ^^^^^
[01:04] <cdizzle> need to downgrade alsalib to an earlier version because I have a via82xx card
[01:04] <Noumaan> gnomefreak:  omg ok here is the problem any browsers in ubuntu doesn't render my urdu fonts properly. firefox in windows render the same correctly but in ubuntu it doesn't even recognize them
[01:05] <cdizzle> how do I do so?
[01:05] <Noumaan> gnomefreak:  not one font only i have used several urdu fonts including tahoma which is an ms font
[01:05] <fishy> How do you unload a script in XChat?
[01:05] <gnomefreak> Noumaan: please check out launchpad.net/bugs  i think i remember a few about that
[01:05] <olrrai> hi
[01:05] <cdizzle> how do i install php 4 and php-gtk ? I need it to run pptpconfig to connect to my vpn
[01:06] <Dimensions> Noumaan:  peshawar ?
[01:06] <Noumaan> gnomefreak:  ok you mean I should file it as a bug?
[01:06] <Noumaan> Dimensions:  Karachi
[01:06] <davey_> Dimensions, Fat32 is probibly good enough and it's the most veristal, not the best but the most compadible with everything so if I was you I would guess fat 32 if you don't need any files over 4 gigs
[01:06] <gnomefreak> Noumaan: there are already bugs on it iirc
[01:06] <Cntryboy> davey_: okay back phone call, its hard for me to google, I have 2.1KB dialup
[01:06] <olrrai> i have a problem with vmplayer
[01:06] <olrrai> Starting VMware services:
[01:06] <olrrai>    Virtual machine monitor                                            failed

[01:06] <gnomefreak> Noumaan: go to that page and search for firefox bugs
[01:06] <olrrai> any idea?
[01:06] <Dimensions> aight davey_ thanks alot ...
[01:06] <Noumaan> gnomefreak:  ok thank you for your help
[01:06] <ompaul> olrrai, don't paste in the cannel thanks
[01:06] <jbrimble> how do I reconfigure xorg?
[01:06] <davey_> Cntryboy, I hate haven't to say google it I'm sorry about that I don't know about that package though
[01:06] <Dimensions> Noumaan:  nice to know u ...
[01:07] <olrrai> ok sorry
[01:07] <davey_> cntryboy, if its not in the repositorys you might have to go old school on it with the tar.bz pacages ya know
[01:07] <jpiccolo> anyone a sound expert
[01:07] <frisky> Anyone: is Easy Ubuntu a joke?  What's better?
[01:07] <quiet> jbrimble: X -configure | xorgcfg | xorgconfig    take your pick
[01:07] <ompaul> !sound > jpiccolo
[01:08] <Garoboldy> greetings fellow UB users
[01:08] <davey_> lol hi garoboldy
[01:08] <ompaul> jpiccolo, have a look at the message from the bot - a few useful notes on getting sound to work
[01:08] <_jpierre> frisky: What do you mean by being a joke?
[01:08] <Noumaan> Dimensions:  I am glad that Ubuntu has reached peshawar as well :) I hope that you know the local guys using ubuntu? No???
[01:08] <Dimensions> guys i need to know if any one can suggest me a smallest pc which supports wifi or bluetooth and can run ubuntu ...with usb support ...
[01:08] <Cntryboy> davey_: heres my sources.list
[01:08] <fishy> How do you unload an XChat script?
[01:08] <_jpierre> !sound
[01:08] <Cntryboy> davey_: http://pastebin.ca/100236
[01:08] <ubotu> If sound is not working, first try system -> prefrences -> multimedia system selector change it to alsa. If you still have problems then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems
[01:08] <davey_> frisky, it's somewhat of a joke when I used to use it
[01:08] <Garoboldy> ok this is my first time in ubuntu irc, and Ive been using ubuntu now for about a week at work and now at home :).
[01:09] <jbrimble> how do I stop X ?
[01:09] <Noumaan> Dimensions:  xubuntu can ran on older computers with little RAM
[01:09] <frisky> _jpierre: what does it install; is Automatix better; @davey_: that's what I thought
[01:09] <jpiccolo> ompaul: i am trying to get the nforce drivers to work so i can have 5.1 sound
[01:09] <whitesuit> hi, when i compile software manually, using configure, make and make install can i specify flags so that i compile for my specific cpu? like using -march in gcc?
[01:09] <coachJ> can someone suggest a program to open corel files?
[01:09] <quiet> coachJ: openoffice?
[01:09] <ompaul> jpiccolo, I know nothing about sound other than that link
[01:10] <davey_> Cntryboy, from that it looks like you might not have them all checked, try opening synaptic and go to settings repositories
[01:10] <coachJ> which program?
[01:10] <Dimensions> lol Noumaan i have seen many geeks ... they do prog in it ... though i m not in pesh these days (uk) but i have had friends there like four yrs ago who were alot good in it .. .
[01:10] <quiet> coachJ: which 'corel' program?  corel is a company, not an app.
[01:10] <cpk2> doesnt ubuntu come with open office?
[01:10] <jpiccolo> it seems like no one does
[01:10] <quiet> it does.
[01:10] <Cntryboy> davey_: I use adept
[01:10] <davey_> cntryboy, I would sugjest just hitting check on them all at first and then searching just to make sure before going tar.bz on it
[01:10] <coachJ> corel drawl
[01:10] <Garoboldy> but hopefully someone can direct me in the right path.  I do web developement on windows and osx machines currently and since switching to ubuntu im having trouble figuring out how to get my system setup for dev like I used to. I do mainly back end framework stuff with ruby-rails-php-mysql.  but cnat seem to figure out how ubuntu is going to handle this since I havent used linux other then osx style.
[01:10] <Dimensions> Noumaan:  by smallest i mean in size ... dimension ... not old ... latest and smallest like gumstix ... \
[01:10] <Cntryboy> davey_: and I ususally manually type it in, never done it from the synaptic so I dont know how
[01:10] <coachJ> quiet:corel drawl
[01:11] <quiet> coachJ: probably either GIMP, Inkscape, or OpenOffice Draw
[01:11] <davey_> Cntryboy, unfortunatly I have only heard about adepp so i don't know... lol.... ok lets see uhhh... ya I would search for the pacage manaly and then download it and uncompress it .. I have no idea where to get it from
[01:11] <coachJ> gimp wont i'll check others thks
[01:11] <Cntryboy> davey_: oh ive already searched for it and nothing comes up
[01:12] <protocol1> is there a visual studio type program for linux?
[01:12] <ompaul> jpiccolo, there is one man who does if you see crimsun when he is not marked away he is really good with it,
[01:12] <Garoboldy> if anyone here does dev work pm me for some discussion. Im very interested in getting info on the subject as far as linux boxes go.
[01:12] <ompaul> jpiccolo, but then he is the alsa hacker supreme
[01:12] <jpiccolo> ompaul, ok thanks
[01:12] <crimsun> ?
[01:12] <ompaul> hehe
[01:13] <Cntryboy> davey_: now when i search for libgtkhtml I get some stuff
[01:13] <ompaul> crimsun, jpiccolo is having a 5.1 sound issue
[01:13] <jpiccolo> yeah i am
[01:13] <Cntryboy> davey_: but not sure which one to get because its not all the same as what I was looking for
[01:13] <scabootssca> how do i mount my linux drive>?
[01:13] <cius> Garoboldy, I don't do work of that sort, but the "ruby-rails-php-mysql" caught my eye, have you looked into doing a Server install of Ubuntu?
[01:13] <crimsun> jpiccolo: pastebin ``amixer''
[01:14] <protocol1> is there a visual studio type program for linux?
[01:14] <davey_> Cntryboy, I how close is the closest one?
[01:14] <davey_> protocoll, be more specific, microsoft visual studio?
[01:14] <jpiccolo> crimsun, i am trying to get 5.1 with a nforce chipset just so you know
[01:14] <valehru_> protocol1, you mean an IDE?
[01:14] <dalani> any grep gurus?
[01:14] <cius> protocol1, there are free and open source IDEs, yes
[01:14] <valehru_> Try eclipse
[01:14] <crimsun> jpiccolo: right, I just read backscroll
[01:14] <jpiccolo> ok
[01:14] <jpiccolo> i dont know what pastebin is
[01:15] <davey_> Cntryboy, do you know how to compile from source?
[01:15] <crimsun> !paste > jpiccolo
[01:15] <Garoboldy> no I havent yet. would you think server ubuntu setup would be more inclined?
[01:15] <ompaul> paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[01:15] <protocol1> yeah
[01:15] <Cntryboy> davey_: do you care to go to synaptic and type in libgtkhtml I get lists of stuff that way, but the file I need is libgtkhtml-2.so.0. Maybe one of those packages has that but im not sure
[01:15] <davey_> cntryboy, alright i'll check
[01:15] <Cntryboy> davey_: thx
[01:15] <cdizzle> I have had this sound card issue before. I have used slackware for some time now, and when I installed -current it has latest alsa and it doesnt work with the via82xx so all i had to do was dl an older version of alsalib and it worked fine, how do I downgrade alsalib on [k] ubuntu?
[01:15] <cius> protocol1, you're likely to discover very quickly that things aren't as "simple" as what you might be used to.  I'd reccommend looking into make and makefiles
[01:16] <cpk2> Cntryboy: there is a libgtkhtml2-0
[01:16] <dalani> the grep switch for binaries -a gives me trouble
[01:16] <cius> Garoboldy, I would suggest looking into a server install, it sets up a full AMP suite for you (apache, mysql, php iirc)
[01:16] <help-the-n00b> Hello. I installed a program with the Synaptic package manager and now I can't find it.
[01:16] <jpiccolo> crimsun, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18891
[01:17] <davey_> Cntryboy, found it
[01:17] <Cntryboy> cpk2: but would it be worth while to get the newest of the bunch like 3.8 dev?
[01:17] <dalani> grepping binaries dumps hex on the terminal
[01:17] <Cntryboy> gyach I think said it needs 2.0 or up I think
[01:17] <help-the-n00b> Can someone help me?
[01:17] <Garoboldy> cius, Thank you for that information. I will reseach that and see what I can come up with.
[01:17] <jvai> io!
[01:17] <Bonez56> help-the-n00b: sure, what's up
[01:17] <help-the-n00b> Hello. I installed a program with the Synaptic package manager and now I can't find it.
[01:17] <cpk2> Cntryboy: you mean 3.8-15?
[01:17] <cpk2> which isnt a dev
[01:17] <cius> help-the-n00b, try typing the name of the program into a terminal
[01:17] <eternalswd> davey_, I can now see a samba share from Windows, but it won't accept my password.  I still can't see the Windows machine on Ubuntu.
[01:17] <Bonez56> help-the-n00b: what was the package, and have you tried searching?
[01:17] <davey_> Cntryboy, I have the version you are looking for
[01:17] <Cntryboy> cpk2: yes sorry
[01:17] <help-the-n00b> how do i search?
[01:17] <Cntryboy> dave_: the 2-0?
[01:18] <Cntryboy> davey_: the 2-0 one?
[01:18] <davey_> eternalswd, you have to use nano to edit the config file and use somethingl like "user password"
[01:18] <Bangers> hi all, i just tried to boot ubuntu on my PC which has 2 video cards, the onboard Intel Video (inactive), and a Nvidia TNT2 (active)
[01:18] <Bonez56> help-the-n00b: sorry I thought you were talking about trying to find it in synaptec. what was the program?
[01:18] <dalani> anyone know grep??
[01:18] <cius> Garoboldy, I would bet that would be your best route for getting up and running fast in the sort of environment you're looking for.  Good luck.  :-)
[01:18] <davey_> cntryboy, yes
[01:18] <Bangers> X is trying to use the Intel Video Card
[01:18] <Bangers> how do I tell it to use the tnt2?
[01:18] <help-the-n00b> I think It's starsomething
[01:18] <davey_> Cntryboy, 2.11 version
[01:18] <frisky> help-the-n00b: try typing 'whereis YOUR_APP_NAME_HERE'
[01:18] <Cntryboy> davey_: yah I seen all of these just was puzzled which one to get because they all say html rendering/editing lib.
[01:18] <davey_> Cntryboy, it's officaly supported also
[01:18] <Bonez56> help-the-n00b: it helps if you know what it was you installed :)
[01:18] <jvai> how long is dapper goin to be supported?
[01:18] <help-the-n00b> It's something i DLd to test synaptic
[01:19] <Bonez56> jvai: 5 years
[01:19] <Garoboldy> cius, Thank you again. I will try to start coming here often for discussion to keep up to date and hopefully learn a few things about this distro
[01:19] <jpiccolo> crimsun, did you get that
[01:19] <Cntryboy> davey_: so if I get 3.8-15 the newest the 2.0 should be supported as well right
[01:19] <davey_> Cntryboy, I would try getting libgtkhtml2-0
[01:19] <Cntryboy> davey_: okay
[01:19] <ompaul> jpiccolo, it takes a while to read it all :-)
[01:19] <cius> Garoboldy, no problem, come by anytime
[01:19] <crimsun> jpiccolo: in a Terminal, type this: ``amixer set "Surround" on && amixer set "Center" on && amixer set "LFE" 80%,on && amixer set "Duplicate Front" on''
[01:19] <jpiccolo> i know
[01:19] <davey_> Cntryboy, I have both installed and it works fine
[01:19] <Cntryboy> kk thx let me do it now
[01:19] <ContinuumXLS> Hey all
[01:20] <davey_> hi
[01:20] <caskey|work> Under earlier versions of ubuntu (5.04) the networking init script would wait for dhcp address negotiation, now it appears to immediately background it and continue booting.  How can I undo this 'feature'
[01:20] <cpk2> eternalswd: you do smbpasswd -L -a username and then smbpasswd -L -e username
[01:20] <help-the-n00b> I gotta go. Bye.
[01:20] <Cntryboy> davey_: do you know what that package does exactly?
[01:20] <mykilx> how do i install a .deb i downloaded? i tried apt-get install package.deb, but apt-get just laughed :/
[01:20] <help-the-n00b> does this work?
[01:20] <crimsun> jpiccolo: also, is "normal" 2-ch sound audible?
[01:20] <jrib> !deb
[01:20] <ubotu> deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click on them (Ubuntu) or right-click and select Kubuntu Package Menu->install (Kubuntu)
[01:20] <Bonez56> mykilx: sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb
[01:20] <mykilx> ty Bonez56
[01:20] <coachJ> open office drae does not show up on the menu, how do I launch?
[01:20] <coachJ> draw
[01:20] <davey_> eternalswd, did your tortorial include something along the lines of "user = security" because you can't acces if from windows with out something like that in the samba config
[01:20] <Bonez56> mykilx: np. you can also use ubotu's method
[01:20] <jpiccolo> crimsun, yeah out of the other port like for headphones.
[01:20] <ompaul> mykilx, sudo apt-get install whatever ; if downloaded then the Bonez56 method
[01:21] <jrib> mykilx: I was hoping the bot would say: make sure the deb you downloaded isn't in any of ubuntu's repositories.  What is the deb for?
[01:21] <cius> coachJ, it might be uner graphics programs
[01:21] <cius> under*
[01:21] <mykilx> jrib: libSDL_image
[01:21] <mykilx> and it s in the repo
[01:21] <khaled_> hello everyone,
[01:21] <coachJ> no
[01:22] <khaled_> is it possible to install a RPM package on Ubuntu ?!?
[01:22] <mykilx> running 64bit, the version in dappers repo installs to /usr/lib, but it needs to be in /usr/lib32
[01:22] <jrib> mykilx: why not use apt-get to install it from the repo then?
[01:22] <davey_> khaled, yes but I wouldn't recomend it
[01:22] <Bonez56> !tell khaled_ about alien
[01:22] <coachJ> it wierd I have all the open suite
[01:22] <coachJ> and adept shows it installed
[01:22] <Cntryboy> davey_: it works thx man, gotta run now lol gotta use the phone, and dialup has to be diss
[01:22] <godtvisken> How can I transfer a file from my computer to an ftp server I am logged in to?
[01:22] <Cntryboy> peace all
[01:22] <Bonez56> khaled_: sudo apt-get install alien - then use that the conver the RPM to a DEB and install it.
[01:22] <crimsun> godtvisken: bin; put foo
[01:22] <jrib> mykilx: I see, I think a better solution is to use a symlink
[01:22] <navyn> what can i use in linux to determine if a hard drive is going bad?
[01:23] <davey_> godtvisken, you can use natalis to log in
[01:23] <jvai> )
[01:23] <ContinuumXLS> Does anyone know why when I try to add the Debian menu item to my menu alacarte won't let me? I click and nothing happens
[01:23] <cpk2> navyn: SMART
[01:23] <navyn> my system has locked up 10 times at random in the past hour
[01:23] <miguelsr> !mencoder
[01:23] <ubotu> I know nothing about mencoder - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:23] <mykilx> i tried and it didn't seem to work, i tried ln -s /usr/lib/libfoo /usr/lib32/libfoo
[01:23] <munsa> hello
[01:23] <spades> navyn smartctl or badblocks
[01:23] <davey_> Alright I got to go people hope you all have a good day
[01:23] <munsa> can someone help me
[01:23] <khaled_> davey: why don't u recommend it ???
[01:23] <Bonez56> munsa: yes
[01:23] <mykilx> jrib: unless i did that wrong :/
[01:23] <munsa> I cant figure out why I cant get any audio of video files to work with Ubuntu...
[01:23] <Bonez56> munsa: do you have codecs installed?
[01:24] <ompaul> !restricted > munsa
[01:24] <ContinuumXLS> Have you tryed Automatix?
[01:24] <munsa> no I just installed the OS today
[01:24] <jrib> mykilx: that looks right, you could always check afterwards with 'ls -l /usr/lib32/libfoo'
[01:24] <Bonez56> !tell munsa about automatix
[01:24] <ContinuumXLS> go on the ubuntu forums and search for automatix
[01:24] <navyn> cool, i will check it out
[01:24] <cpk2> munsa: you are going to have to apt-get some codecs
[01:24] <Bonez56> munsa: follow the instructions with automatix and install all the codecs etc
[01:24] <munsa> ok
[01:24] <munsa> why are they not installed by default?
[01:24] <mykilx> jrib: the file was there, but when i try to run sauerbraten it still can't find it
[01:24] <cpk2> automatix isnt necessary...
[01:24] <Madpilot> ContinuumXLS, please don't recommend automatix to people - it breaks too many Ubuntu installations...
[01:24] <mykilx> cpk2: but convient
[01:24] <Bonez56> munsa: legal reasons... you can get them free though
[01:25] <munsa> ok
[01:25] <Garoboldy> im going to have to bring down this system to work on install the server as cius suggested.  One question before I start to anyone. if you use the server setup what style would be best for ease of use. gnome/kde/xfce
[01:25] <munsa> how do I do it? I did it once  a long time ago
[01:25] <munsa> but I forget
[01:25] <Garoboldy> or will it matter at all, aka can I change it after the install.
[01:25] <ompaul> munsa, better to follow the instuctions that the bot sent you - ubout
[01:25] <munsa> with Mplayer
[01:25] <scabootssca> where do i edit the lilo configuration?
[01:25] <Bonez56> munsa: same reason as divx, xvid etc is not natively supported on windows
[01:25] <Madpilot> munsa, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[01:25] <eternalswd> davey_, yes it had security = user and username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
[01:25] <mykilx> jrib: any other ideas?
[01:25] <ContinuumXLS> Does anyone know why when I try to add the Debian menu item to my menu alacarte won't let me? I click and nothing happens
[01:25] <mykilx> anyone for that matter
[01:26] <jrib> mykilx: well 'dpkg -i file.deb' is the terminal way to install deb's, but I don't recommend you do what you are doing
[01:26] <caskey|work> How can I get the boot process to wait until network interfaces have been configured?  It seems that under dapper this is no longer the case.
[01:26] <crimsun> ContinuumXLS: do you have menu-xdg installed?
[01:26] <mykilx> jrib: it failed, and I'm kind of glad
[01:26] <ContinuumXLS> Yes
[01:26] <eternalswd> cpk2, it still didn't work, though I know that the user is enabled now
[01:26] <khaled_> Another question, are there any draw backs of running a kde application on gnome or vise versa ?!?
[01:26] <Meatwad> i'm installing this thing and it asks 'what is the location of your linux kernel source?'  it suggests /usr/src/linux, but there's nothing in there. where would it be?
[01:26] <mykilx> jrib: as i'm sure it would instal in /usr/lib anyway
[01:26] <crimsun> ContinuumXLS: and menu?
[01:26] <ContinuumXLS> menu?
[01:26] <Madpilot> khaled_, not especially - you'll need to install a bunch of libraries, but the apps run fine
[01:27] <crimsun> ContinuumXLS: yes, both packages
[01:27] <baconbacon> khaled_: the kde+gnome libraries need to be both loaded
[01:27] <ContinuumXLS> ill search for menu
[01:27] <crimsun> jpiccolo: any luck?
[01:27] <mykilx> i don't understand why it's installing in /usr/lib :/
[01:27] <khaled_> thanx
[01:27] <jpiccolo> crimsun, this is kinda weird
[01:27] <jadams> what is everyone's preferred music library program?
[01:27] <protocol1> kdeI was looking forvelope is probably what
[01:27] <baconbacon> khaled_: and copy-paste between them can be weird/not work at times
[01:27] <scabootssca> how do i mount my linux drive>?
[01:27] <Meatwad> jadams:  rhythmbox or banshee
[01:27] <scabootssca> where do i edit the lilo configuration?
[01:27] <eternalswd> here's my [public]  settings:         comment = Public Folder
[01:27] <protocol1> kdevelope*
[01:27] <jadams> I have something like 40+ gigs of music in my library, and what I'd REALLY like is something similar to the napster interface to navigate it
[01:27] <eternalswd>         path = /media/sda3/downloads
[01:27] <eternalswd>         force user = nobody
[01:27] <eternalswd>         force group = nogroup
[01:27] <eternalswd>         create mask = 0777
[01:27] <eternalswd>         directory mask = 0777
[01:27] <eternalswd>         guest ok = Yes
[01:27] <jadams> Meatwad: anything with better library support?
[01:27] <miguelsr> some one know how to put subtitles to the movie? by mencoder?
[01:28] <Madpilot> eternalswd, pastebin next time!
[01:28] <jadams> ratehr
[01:28] <jadams> I'd like to be able to add to a playist from within rhythmbox
[01:28] <eternalswd> what's pastebin
[01:28] <jadams> is that possible?
[01:28] <spatel>  I have strange issue with my wireless and wired network card (build in) on my Inspiron 9100 laptop, both are map to eth1, Is there any way I can map my wireless as  eth2 instead of eth1?
[01:28] <baconbacon> !pastebin
[01:28] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[01:28] <ContinuumXLS> yes, both of them are isntalled. How do i make it say your name in red?
[01:28] <detien> hello, I just got a PCMICA wireless card. how do I disable ipw2200 and try to run the new PCMCIA card ?
[01:28] <jpiccolo> crimsun, if i have my speakers switched to stereo 1-3 the front speakers work
[01:28] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell eternalswd about pastebin
[01:28] <ContinuumXLS> crimsun: yes, both of them are isntalled. How do i make it say your name in red?
[01:28] <jpiccolo> crimsun, but if i have it at 6ch direct only the back ones work
[01:28] <crimsun> ContinuumXLS: your nick-highlighting works for me
[01:28] <Madpilot> ContinuumXLS, just include someone's nick in a line, it'll be highlighted automatically
[01:28] <Bonez56> gotta go to the snap factory
[01:29] <Meatwad> jadams:  i'm not sure what you mean
[01:29] <jpiccolo> crimsun, the sub works all the time
[01:29] <ContinuumXLS> crimsun: ok, thanks. Both of the packages are installed
[01:29] <miguelsr> some one know how to put subtitles to the movie? by mencoder?
[01:29] <ttyfscker> what is up with sed and vim in ubuntu? its not working right with the substitution command.
[01:29] <jadams> Meatwad: as in, create a list of songs in the order i'd like them played easily, but keep access to the library in the artist/album/song format
[01:29] <ContinuumXLS> crimsun - more than just the debian menu are locked
[01:29] <Khaaaan> sup dawgs!
[01:29] <ContinuumXLS> crimsun - i even tried sudo alacarte and it wouldnt let me
[01:30] <crimsun> jpiccolo: ok, leave it at 6ch and set 'Surround Jack Mode' to 'Shared'
[01:30] <baconbacon> Khaaaaan!

[01:30] <Meatwad> jadams:  music --> playlist --> new playlist     is the only way I know of, sorry
[01:30] <ContinuumXLS> Amaranth: i can't enable the debian menu item with alacarte. I click and nothing happens
[01:31] <Amaranth> ContinuumXLS: it's empty
[01:31] <ContinuumXLS> Amaranth: You're right I think
[01:31] <Amaranth> ContinuumXLS: sudo apt-get install menu menu-xdg && sudo update-menu
[01:31] <ContinuumXLS> Amaranth: Ihave both of those packages installed, but ill try updating the menu
[01:31] <Meatwad>  i'm installing this thing and it asks 'what is the location of your linux kernel source?'  it suggests /usr/src/linux, but there's nothing in there. where would it be?

[01:33] <khaled_> how to burn iso image on cd????
[01:34] <Amaranth> ContinuumXLS: I don't want to run it here so I don't know what the command is.
[01:34] <Amaranth> khaled_: right click on it
[01:34] <baconbacon> Meatwad: sudo apt-get install linux-source
[01:34] <baconbacon> ?
[01:34] <ContinuumXLS> Amaranth: That's cool. Thanks for the help
[01:34] <cpk2> eternalswd: did you try sudo smbpasswd -L -a username and sudo smbpasswd -L -e username

[01:34] <jpiccolo> crimsun, didnt change anything
[01:35] <K^Holtz> When I go to Synaptic, it says that i have the flashplugin-nonfree package installed, but when I tryto view a flash on a website, it brings me to the Adobe site to download it. Can someone help me with this?
[01:35] <khaled_> Amaranth: are u sure it will write it as an iso image ???
[01:35] <baconbacon> Meatwad: I installed some kernel-source-* packages before. They were not the right ones. It's good to ask
[01:35] <godtvisken> What happened to an XML file when it displays the code of the file instead of the normal view?
[01:35] <starfire> hello, hsa anyone got any tips on troubleshooing resume from hibernate on 6.06 ? my PC seems to hibernate but no poweron just reboots rather than resumes from where I left it.....
[01:35] <crimsun> jpiccolo: ok, revert that change and the one for 'Duplicate Front'
[01:35] <yacc> Meatwad: /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build
[01:35] <Amaranth> khaled_: oh, i thought you wanted to burn an ISO to CD
[01:35] <khaled_> Amaranth: yes exactly
[01:36] <K^Holtz> is the flashplugin-nonfree package Flash Player 8.0?
[01:36] <crimsun> K^Holtz: no.
[01:36] <Amaranth> K^Holtz: Flash Player 8.0 doesn't exist for linux.
[01:36] <Amaranth> K^Holtz: Please complain to Adobe. :)
[01:36] <the_mug> ahh! much better!
[01:36] <K^Holtz> Amaranth: i'm sure enough have already
[01:36] <javiolo> is there any flash free developer app ?
[01:37] <jpiccolo> crimsun, ok i did, when i turned off Duplicate Front i lost all sound
[01:37] <Amaranth> javiolo: I don't believe so
[01:37] <digitalhav0c> damn i the only one who has ever wanted to use a webcam in ubuntu
[01:37] <javiolo> amaranth I know one but doesnt run on linux
[01:37] <cpk2> eternalswd: at the bottom where it says public change the force user and force group to your unix login name
[01:37] <Meatwad> Amaranth and K^Holtz:  I read somewhere on digg.com that adobe is supposedly going to have a linux plugin for the next version of flash
[01:37] <crimsun> jpiccolo: ok, turn 'Duplicate Front' back on and set 'IEC958 Playback AC97-SPSA' to 0
[01:37] <ttyfscker> what is up with sed and vim in ubuntu? its not working right with the substitution command.  i have tried sed -e 's/phrase1/phrase2' file.txt  i  have tried sed 's/phrase1/phrase2 file.txt with sed  --- i have tried :s/phrase1/phrase2 and :s/phrase1/phrase2/g in vim

[01:38] <fiznut> Anyone know if Enlightenment safely runs on Dapper Drake 6.06?
[01:38] <ttyfscker> as far as i know those are the proper syntax for both apps.. what is wrong ?
[01:38] <Amaranth> khaled_: Just right click on the ISO file and choose Write To Disc
[01:38] <javiolo> fiznut it should
[01:38] <digitalhav0c> CarlFK, what kind
[01:38] <digitalhav0c> i've got a cheap dynex
[01:38] <Amaranth> Meatwad: The blog is in my RSS reader. :)
[01:38] <digitalhav0c> generic
[01:38] <baconbacon> ttyfscker: let me confirm
[01:38] <IcemanV9> fiznut: it can be done; there are a few threads on it in forums
[01:38] <Amaranth> Meatwad: it's still pretty far away from even an alpha release
[01:38] <CarlFK> digitalhav0c: logitec chat
[01:38] <eternalswd> K^Holtz, until Adobe releases 9.0 for linux, you're either stuck with 7.0 or running a browser through WINE.  I'm running firefox through wine with 9.0 and i'm not having those annoying synch problems
[01:38] <ttyfscker> thanks baconbacon
[01:39] <fiznut> IcemanV9:  Mind if I send you a pm with the link to the guide i'm looking at trying? It's in the Hoary section of the forums
[01:39] <digitalhav0c> CarlFK, oh
[01:39] <digitalhav0c> hum
[01:39] <K^Holtz> thanks eternalswd and Meatwad

[01:40] <Amaranth> !seveas > munsa_

[01:40] <javiolo> fiznut http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=20216&highlight=e17
[01:40] <Amaranth> munsa_: check your PMs
[01:40] <javiolo> dial_tone thanks!
[01:40] <CarlFK> Dial_tone:  read this: http://www.jwz.org/doc/x-cut-and-paste.html
[01:40] <CarlFK> er
[01:40] <baconbacon> ttyfscker: whats the matter
[01:40] <glinux212> my syslog is growing bigger,any suggestions?
[01:40] <CarlFK> javiolo: read http://www.jwz.org/doc/x-cut-and-paste.html
[01:40] <Seveas> eternalswd, debian-multimedia.org is for *DEBIAN*, not *UBUNTU*
[01:40] <jpiccolo> crimsun, still only rear and sub, after IEC958 it made my channels mono
[01:40] <javiolo> carlfk aaagh can copy to firefox
[01:41] <Dial_tone> glinux212, that's the general nature of logs. give them room to begin with
[01:41] <fiznut> javiolo: Thanks :] 
[01:41] <ttyfscker> baconbacon:: its not replacing the text like its suppose to.. and in vim it tells me the phrase wasnt found, when i am looking at it..
[01:41] <crimsun> jpiccolo: ok, change it back to '2'. What happens with 4ch?
[01:41] <cpk2> eternalswd: also try changing the create mask to 0644 and the directory mask 0755 in [public] 
[01:41] <eternalswd> cpk2, thanks, got it working
[01:41] <glinux212> Dial_tone, is it ok to have a 3gb /var/log?
[01:42] <Amaranth> crimsun: it looks like sound is one of those things that either works great without setup or takes an hour to get working right :P
[01:42] <cpk2> eternalswd: what got it to work?
[01:42] <eternalswd> Seveas, mplayer from there works just fine
[01:42] <goonies> what codecs should i get for playing mpg right, mplayer opens the file and then closes immediately after showing a picture
[01:42] <Seveas> !worksforme
[01:42] <snoops> so umm what's the most recommended player for linux for hd video? (I've found most players to be pretty shocking when it comes to hd video)
[01:42] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[01:42] <Seveas> eternalswd, -_^
[01:42] <baconbacon> ttyfscker: on my side it works. sed replaces phrase1 globally, but vim only replaces on the line with this syntax
[01:42] <Dial_tone> glinux212, depends on the use of the computer; certainly not normal for a desktop
[01:42] <eternalswd> cpk2, the force user and force group settings
[01:42] <starfire> HELLO, has anyone got any tips on troubleshooing resume from hibernate on 6.06 ? my PC seems to hibernate OK but on poweron just reboots rather than resumes from where I left it - any pointers PLEASE?

[01:43] <glinux212> Dial_tone, ah ok but for a server?

[01:45] <CappO> hey

[01:51] <eternalswd> cpk2, no I'm talking about getting into my windows shared folder.  it's XP Home, so maybe that's the problem?
[01:52] <crimsun> jpiccolo: do you get any sound (at all) if you mute 'External Amplifier'?
[01:52] <cpk2> eternalswd: thats what i have
[01:52] <cpk2> eternalswd: its hard looking through your smb.conf since it is so huge
[01:52] <goonies> anyone?
[01:52] <cpk2> eternalswd: you using wins support?
[01:52] <eternalswd> jbrimble, sorry, I was confusing boot splash with the Gnome splash, check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=419641 #6
[01:53] <eternalswd> cpk2, wins support?
[01:53] <jpiccolo> crimsun, that would be a 0 right
[01:53] <eternalswd> what is it?
[01:54] <cajoel> quickie: has anyone experimented with creating a minimal install? (more minimal than server?)
[01:54] <baconbacon> ttyfscker: sed -e 's/phrase1/phrase2/' file.txt
[01:54] <varsendaggr> hey how can i check to see what my internet connection is.
[01:54] <crimsun> jpiccolo: amixer set 'External Amplifier' off
[01:54] <cajoel> vars: speakeasy.net  speed test
[01:55] <baconbacon> ttyfscker: it outputs the file with subs made, on console
[01:55] <jpiccolo> crimsun, yeah is can still hear sound, no change
[01:56] <cpk2> eternalswd: if your linux box has a static ip you can add a line to your smb.conof if it isnt already there that says wins support = yes and then on your windows box configure it to use wins in tcpi/ip protocal under advanced

[02:00] <jpiccolo> crimsun, i dont know
[02:00] <crimsun> jpiccolo: ok, how are you testing '5.1' then?
[02:00] <jpiccolo> crimsun, you mean the speakers
[02:00] <r4v5> so when i shutdown -h my ubuntu machine, it kills off x and then shows it... starting a bunch of services. any idea why?
[02:00] <crimsun> jpiccolo: no, I mean the application.
[02:00] <Xorlev> Hmm...would there be any reason why the Ubuntu server install hangs on the "Select and install software" section? The first time it got to 48 files our of 64, then 23, then this time 22.
[02:00] <jpiccolo> crimsun, amarok
[02:00] <Xorlev> I'm installing on VMware.
[02:01] <Khaaaan> r4v5: hmm it says ut when i cat file.txt it shows the original values :S
 How do I tell? Dmesg?
 carl: dpkg -l

[02:01] <baconbacon> ttyfscker: it outputs the file with subs made, on console, throw (for lack of a better word) the output into a file
[02:01] <Khaaaan> r4v5: whoops it didnt copy correctly
[02:01] <CarlFK> cajoel: "No packages found matching Xorg" or xorg or x.org or X.org or gtk...
[02:01] <crimsun> jpiccolo: not a good program to test with. Use a dvd with kaffeine/totem
[02:01] <cpk2> eternalswd: if you want you can use my smb.conf as a template since it is much cleaner and smaller
[02:01] <Khaaaan> it says, Atheros unknown device
[02:01] <jpiccolo> crimsun, ok
[02:01] <Rug> Howdy all
[02:01] <scabootssca> how do i use chroot?
[02:02] <ttyfscker> baconbacon:: but it didnt make the changes permanent
[02:02] <baconbacon> or use sed -i (--in-place)
[02:02] <eternalswd> cpk2 my error screenshot is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/i18894
[02:02] <scabootssca> i want to change my root from the current harddrive to a mounted one
[02:02] <baconbacon> to make the changes in the file directly i think, but test it before
[02:02] <r4v5> then odds are, you need to get a recent snapshot of madwifi-ng's driver from its website, install it outside of the package management system, and use that module
[02:02] <Khaaaan> r4v5: But all the lights are blinking :)
[02:02] <ttyfscker> bacon im going to try now
[02:02] <MrFeetio> how do i update opengl from 1.2 to 1.3 its not in the repo
[02:02] <r4v5> Khaaaan: did it say 'unknown device' with lspci -vv?
[02:03] <eternalswd> cpk2, okay
[02:03] <eternalswd> just pastebin it

[02:04] <Rug> How do I make wine to run an application from outside of the application root?   (ie. if I run wine "/path/to/app.exe" it doesn't work, but if I cd to /path/to/app and then run wine app.exe it does work.  Any suggestions?
[02:04] <Khaaaan> r4v5: But I was assured by many forum members that this card WOULD work instantly
[02:04] <Khaaaan> But I guess its never really that easy...
[02:05] <r4v5> Khaaaan: wireless is still a crapshoot on lienucks
[02:05] <cpk2> eternalswd: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18895
[02:05] <jvai> orinoco cards r cheeap on ebay
[02:05] <r4v5> as i said, your best bet is to get the most recent madwifi-ng drivers from madwifi.org or whatever the site is, because it's possible new atheros chips have been released that are in your card and not supported in the current ubuntu kernel builds
[02:06] <Khaaaan> r4v5: how do I do that?
[02:06] <IcemanV9> Rug: use without quotes .. if you're using quotes, then it should be like windows path. e.g. "c:\path\to\app.exe"
[02:06] <cpk2> basically change netbios name workgroup wins support if you havent set it up and edit all of roxxorshares
[02:06] <andrewski> does anyone know if it's possible to change the icon size of application toolbars etc.?  i've seen how to do this for the menu, but i'm wondering about a broader solution.
[02:06] <Rug> IcemanV9: thanks I'll give that a shot
[02:06] <jpiccolo> crimsun, dvd only front and sub
[02:06] <shrewdy> anyone know how to downgrade GCC ? (4.x >> 3.x)? apt wont let me simply remove it ...
[02:07] <crimsun> jpiccolo: which app, and what speaker config in that app?
[02:07] <PseudoPlacebo> Quick question- how hard is it to upgrade to dapper from CLI from 5.4

[02:07] <demyztikx> Alright, I take it tis is a place to come when I'm desperate for help. I'm having trouble figuring out how to install a program (Dark Horizons Lore Invasion, Linux version). I've been scouring the sites and forums trying to figure out how to do this, but it's only my second day with a Linux machine. I have the .bin file downloaded. (Link: http://www.garagegames.com/pg/demo.php?id=29 )
[02:07] <jpiccolo> crimsun, kaffeine and its on auto, if i have it on anything else no sound
[02:07] <Khaaaan> I mena
[02:08] <r4v5> demyztikx: chmod +x whatever.bin && ./whatever.bin
[02:08] <quixentric> hey, I hopefully have a quick fix question about screensavers. When I'm looking at my options, a majority of the previews come up as black screens, and not a preview of the screen saver. Is this a video card driver issue or is there another explanation?
[02:08] <Khaaaan> If I have the restricted modules... I should have madwifi right???
[02:08] <r4v5> http://madwifi.org/wiki/Compatibility
[02:08] <r4v5> find your card in that list.
[02:08] <crimsun> jpiccolo: ok, then you'll need custom routing with ttables. See the alsa wiki for it. I can't assist you beyond that, since it's specific to your config.
[02:08] <andrewski> does anyone know if it's possible to change the icon size of application toolbars etc.?  i've seen how to do this for the menu, but i'm wondering about a broader solution.
[02:09] <jpiccolo> ok
[02:09] <jpiccolo> well thanks for your help
[02:09] <shrewdy> i need to doengrade GCC... how do i do that with apt?
[02:10] <andrewski> !patience > shrewdy
[02:10] <rever> Hi could someone tell me how I can see what daemons are started?
[02:10] <odla> shrewdy: why do you need to downgrade?
[02:10] <Rug> IcemanV9: nah that didn't work.
[02:10] <andrewski> shrewdy: gcc-3.3 is available, but yeah, i'd question why you need to.
[02:10] <IcemanV9> Rug: what app are you trying to run?
[02:11] <shrewdy> andrewski: sorry i'm in this god awful irc client (behind university proxy, its the only way) and i have no idea if i missed what you guys said or not
[02:11] <Rug> IcemanV9: what I mean to say is: I am running Fluxbox, and I can't get the app to run like that
[02:11] <andrewski> shrewdy: gcc-3.3 is available, but yeah, i'd question why you need to.
[02:11] <shrewdy> odla: i need to compile something old...
[02:11] <odla> shrewdy: edit the Makefile?
[02:12] <baconbacon> rever: ps -A
[02:12] <andrewski> shrewdy: gcc-3.3 is available, which you can install in parallel with gcc-4.
[02:12] <PseudoPlacebo> Quick question- how hard is it to upgrade to dapper from CLI from 5.4
[02:12] <shrewdy> i'll have a look, but it seems to use features of gcc which are no longer present
[02:12] <psycose> hi
[02:12] <Rug> IcemanV9: It's StarSeige Tribes
[02:12] <rever> baconbacon, Thanks
[02:12] <odla> PseudoPlacebo: you should probably go through breezy first
[02:12] <shrewdy> how do i use gcc 3 instead of 4??
[02:12] <rever> I knew ps was a big command need to do some man reading on it thanks'
[02:12] <odla> PseudoPlacebo: 5.4 -> 5.10 -> 6.-6
[02:12] <PseudoPlacebo> That's fine.
[02:12] <PseudoPlacebo> But no discs or anything.
[02:13] <PseudoPlacebo> I need it through CLI or Network.
[02:13] <shrewdy> if i have both...
[02:13] <odla> PseudoPlacebo: you don't need disks just network
[02:13] <PseudoPlacebo> Okay that's cool.
[02:13] <andrewski> shrewdy: h/o
[02:13] <shrewdy> h/o?
[02:13] <PseudoPlacebo> How would I do it?
[02:13] <psycose> i'm having trouble helping a friend boot with a Dapper Live CD his local linux filesystem (Breezy), i've try entering linux root=/dev/sda2 on boot but seems it was not recognized any tips? thanks
[02:13] <IcemanV9> shrewdy: use set env for configure OR use --cc=gcc-3.4
[02:13] <odla> PseudoPlacebo: edit /etc/apt/sources.list and change hoary to breezy
[02:13] <PseudoPlacebo> apt-get update
[02:13] <shrewdy> thanks! ^-^
[02:13] <odla> PseudoPlacebo: edit with vi or gedit then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

[02:19] <andrewski> psycose: have them try? :-P
[02:20] <rajat> andrewski, I'm using nvidia because I had XGL going
[02:20] <rajat> Should I switch back to nv?
[02:20] <ic56> olrrai: I think, somewhere under /usr/src
[02:20] <andrewski> rajat: and you wonder why you're slow?  xgl would almost definitely do it.
[02:20] <rajat> No, I turned Xgl off
[02:20] <psycose> andrewski, if you can't help it's not a problem .. see u
[02:20] <scabootssca> ok can anyone give me a step by step on making grub or lilo work with linux and windows?
[02:20] <olrrai>  ic56: thanks, and the las question: how to know the running kernel version?
[02:20] <rajat> But still using the nvidia driver
[02:21] <DeadlyTiga> i have a nforce 2 chipset wit 5.1 onboard, with speaker --test everything is fine but no programm uses 5.1, although i activated it in the programm (xmms,vlc,ut04,amarok,mplayer etc.) anyone idea what i need to do?

[02:26] <andrewski> ArthurBrazil: good luck
[02:26] <crimsun> leleobhz: have you tried troubleshooting this with me before?
[02:26] <andrewski> ijbgreen: yes
[02:26] <leleobhz> but an restart doesnt make effect
[02:26] <leleobhz> crimsun: maynot
[02:26] <andrewski> scabootssca: try this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[02:26] <ijbgreen> and runs correctly
[02:26] <crimsun> leleobhz: (I'm asking because I honestly don't remember)
[02:26] <andrewski> scabootssca: let me know if you have problems.
[02:27] <andrewski> ijbgreen: it works, but it's a bit slow on my system and causes periodic crashes.
[02:27] <andrewski> ijbgreen: i'm not running it anymore, but i still have it.
[02:27] <olrrai> is it the kernel souce packet? "linux-headers-2.6.15-26-amd64-generic"
[02:27] <leleobhz> crimsun: hehe, its ok
[02:27] <leleobhz> crimsun: it never occouried with me
[02:27] <Xui1> I am new to linux, trying to install new ATI drivers, but I get an error when running the install ( must run as root) does Ubuntu even have a root??
[02:27] <IcemanV9> Xui1: sudo
[02:27] <andrewski> !sudo > Xui1
[02:27] <sethk> Xui1, yes it has a root, but the password for root is probably not set
[02:27] <ArthurBrazil> andrewski, im reading it and it sais i need to install the drivers, problem is there is no link on how to do it?
[02:27] <ijbgreen> that qiestion is because a friend installed in his computer an he says me that not runs correctly
[02:27] <crimsun> leleobhz: ok, the first thing you'll need to do is pastebin your ``cat /proc/asound/cards && amixer'' output
[02:28] <sethk> Xui1, you can do what you need, most likely, with sudo, or you can set the root password
[02:28] <ic56> olrrai: I don't understand your question
[02:28] <andrewski> ArthurBrazil: you should already have them.  you can try system | administration | networking to see if your card shows up.
[02:28] <olrrai> i am installing the sources
[02:28] <andrewski> ArthurBrazil: if it's there, you have the drivers and can move on.
[02:28] <Xui1> sudo, I read something about that somewhere lol..I will look more into it thanks :)
[02:28] <ArthurBrazil> it does not?
[02:28] <hondje> Where does Epiphany store the bookmarks?
[02:28] <ArthurBrazil> andrewski, its not showing up
[02:28] <olrrai> but i dont know what packet name to install
[02:28] <andrewski> Xui1: let us know if you have more questions.
[02:28] <leleobhz> crimsun: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18898
[02:29] <Xui1> Thank you
[02:29] <andrewski> ArthurBrazil: ok, then i'm not sure what to do. :-/
[02:29] <cpk2> Xui1: all you have to do is type sudo before your command
[02:29] <ijbgreen> how did you installed the Xgl from an apt-get or from another source
[02:29] <ic56> olrrai: oh. you mean package.  packet is something very different.
[02:29] <Jack_Sparrow> ijbgreen: What is your native language?
[02:29] <olrrai> my actual kernel is 2.6.15-26-amd64-generic
[02:29] <ArthurBrazil> andrewski, thanks for your help ill  try to keep going
[02:29] <andrewski> ijbgreen: there's a howto with an apt repository on the forums; let me know if you can't find it.
[02:29] <nemesisteufel> hi
[02:29] <olrrai> is it the kernel souce packet? "linux-headers-2.6.15-26-amd64-generic"
[02:29] <ic56> olrrai: the package you mentioned will give you only the C header files (.h files).  Not the source itself.  You need both
[02:30] <andrewski> hondje: hold on, i'm looking for it; can't remember. :-P
[02:30] <olrrai> ohh
[02:30] <ijbgreen> Jack_Sparrow: why
[02:30] <andrewski> hondje: do you need to back them up?  export them?
[02:30] <hondje> andrew__: recover from backups
[02:30] <Jack_Sparrow> ijbgreen: Because your question does not make sense and maybe the Ub forum in your language might help
[02:31] <hondje> which was smart, since drives died and all that :)
[02:31] <andrewski> hondje: ah, ok.  ~/.gnome2/epiphany/bookmarks.rdf and ephy-bookmarks.xml
[02:31] <crimsun> leleobhz: amixer set 'Mix' on && amixer set 'AC97' 80%,on,on
[02:31] <andrewski> hondje: yeah, that was smart.  i do that between my server and laptop using unison.  best backup ever. :)
[02:31] <hondje> sweet, thanks :) I was looking in .gconf and was worried :)
[02:31] <andrewski> hondje: good luck!
[02:31] <nemesisteufel> someone can try to fix my problem?
[02:32] <leleobhz> crimsun: a moment
[02:32] <andrewski> nemesisteufel: only if you tell us what it is. :)

[02:33] <andrewski> nemesisteufel: that list seems to indicate it's a temporary problem on the server.
[02:34] <andrewski> nemesisteufel: have you updated your package lists manually?
[02:34] <olrrai> my kernel version is 2.6.15-26-amd64-generic. Is the source linux-souce-2.6.15 packet?
[02:34] <fiznut> Anyone have any idea why I might have lost sound in E-Gnome?
[02:34] <demyztikx> ok, it appears that I'm doing something wrong.
[02:34] <ic56> olrrai: *package* not packet.  And, yes, I think that's the right package.
[02:35] <olrrai> ic56: thank but my english is ugly
[02:35] <andrewski> demyztikx: stop. :-P
[02:36] <ArthurBrazil> I have a question, When ubuntu is loading at boot it sais initializing drivers and when that happens the light on my wifi card turns on. Does that mean my cards drivers are installed

[02:40] <sigurd_> hondje, redefine question: how do I make sure a vnc server is running at home.
[02:41] <hoehaver> what is ssh???
[02:41] <andrewski> !ssh > hoehaver
[02:41] <ArthurBrazil> andrewski, sorry those instruction are a little above my knowledge
[02:41] <sigurd_> hoehaver, it's a secure shell. Secure SHell. It's like telnet.
[02:41] <leleobhz> crimsun: some document
[02:41] <Viper550> Hay el canal a #xubuntu-es tambin? (sorry, I just had to say it in spanish for our spanish speaking amigos)

[02:41] <crimsun> leleobhz: it may be documented, yes
[02:41] <hondje> Connecting to the box with vnc and seeing if it's running is all I can suggest outside whipping out a cron script to check and email you if it's not working :-/
[02:41] <andrewski> ArthurBrazil: ok.  :-/  so the wifi light is on?

[02:44] <hondje> Does lspci work on pcmcia cards? I've always wondered that
[02:44] <DanieC> hondje, sure
[02:45] <andrewski> ArthurBrazil: yikers.  the driver's definitely not loaded.  i'm not sure i have any ideas.  you could post on the forums, maybe?  unless...
[02:45] <andrewski> anyone else want to bite?
[02:45] <hondje> Cool. Figured it did, but never checked
[02:45] <DanieC> hondje, just run "lspci"
[02:45] <hondje> The hard part is being at a lap top and remembering to check
[02:46] <andrewski> hondje: or, in my case, having a PCMCIA card. :-P
[02:46] <ijbgreen> thanks
[02:46] <DanieC> hondje, remember? what did you mean?
[02:46] <WiseOdd> Being a newb, i cant figure out how to format my new disc, after i used mkfs to make a new partition... what do I do now? sb help!
[02:46] <plopa> hi
[02:46] <plopa> when i rmmod ndiswrapper, the module is auto reloaded
[02:46] <plopa> anyway to stop auto reload?
[02:47] <Jack_Sparrow> WiseOdd: Gparted ?
[02:47] <DanieC> WiseOdd, I am used to use fdisk
[02:47] <hondje> I don't use laptops, so I'm only on them when I'm fixing them, and I never remember to satisfy my curiousity regarding lspci while doing so :-(
[02:47] <DanieC> You can try it
[02:47] <Solarion> anyone else having trouble submitting bugs on launchpad?  "Please fix the problems below and try again" without any problems listed below!
[02:47] <andrewski> Solarion: try asking in #launchpad
[02:47] <DanieC> hondje, just try it
[02:48] <baconbacon> plopa: maybe some other modules depend on it
[02:48] <WiseOdd> eehh. ok i will. will those programs actually let me format the disc? ihve tried fdsik, but didnt get anywhere with it...
[02:48] <DanieC> I think it's same as desktop.
[02:48] <andrewski> DanieC: i think hondje gets it.
[02:48] <de0xyrib0se> hey guys, quick question useradd doesnt create a home folder for the user any idea why?
[02:48] <hondje> Why? I don't have a pcmcia card on a desktop
[02:48] <WiseOdd> but thanx a bunch!
[02:48] <Jack_Sparrow> WiseOdd: Maybe you can say what you are trying to do, what os is running etc?
[02:48] <plopa> baconbacon: how can i find wich ones plz ?
[02:48] <de0xyrib0se> hey guys, quick question useradd doesnt create a home folder for the user any idea why?
[02:48] <andrewski> de0xyrib0se: any reason you're not using the GUI tools?
[02:48] <varsendaggr> hey how can i play quake 2?   i have it installed   but how do i play a stinking game????
[02:49] <andrewski> de0xyrib0se: and don't repeat your question so soon.
[02:49] <WiseOdd> running ubuntu, and just trying to format my new disc...
[02:49] <Warbo> WiseOdd: fdisk messes with partition tables. To "format" a partition use "mkfs.<type>" (look at "ls /sbin/*fs*")
[02:49] <Bonez> varsendaggr, /usr/bin/quake2
[02:49] <miguelsr> !mencoder
[02:49] <ubotu> I know nothing about mencoder - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[02:49] <de0xyrib0se> andrewski because i only have command line
[02:49] <andrewski> de0xyrib0se: ah, ok.  one sec.
[02:49] <de0xyrib0se> besides i'm writing a script to batch create
[02:49] <de0xyrib0se> and this really puts a bump into things
[02:49] <andrewski> de0xyrib0se: what flags are you using when you run it?
[02:50] <DanieC> WiseOdd, firstly use fdisk, then mkfs
[02:50] <WiseOdd> Warbo:already used mkfs to create the partition, now i need to format it too :)
[02:50] <de0xyrib0se> -g -d -p
[02:50] <de0xyrib0se> even withouth the -d still no good
[02:50] <de0xyrib0se> i tried the -d to force a home folder
[02:50] <andrewski> de0xyrib0se: you need to do something like -d /home/username
[02:50] <de0xyrib0se> yeah thats what i did still no go
[02:51] <hondje> try adduser instead

[02:51] <de0xyrib0se> shouldnt this happen automatically, on redhat systems it automatically creates the home folders

[02:52] <Madpilot> geokok, pastebin next time, please
[02:52] <de0xyrib0se> andrewski is there a way to force this automatically on useradd? without using the flags
[02:52] <geokok> what is pastebin?
[02:52] <WiseOdd> DanieC: when i used mkfs it created a new partition for me.. isnt that what fdsik is supposed to do? fdisk in "win Language" creates partition... (as you probably know :))
[02:52] <Jack_Sparrow> scabootssca: HAve you tried the super grub repair dick
[02:52] <n3rdism> !pastebin > geokok
[02:52] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell geokok about pastebin
[02:52] <n3rdism> geokok: check pm
[02:52] <scabootssca> i couldnt find the menu
[02:53] <andrewski> de0xyrib0se: dunno
[02:53] <n3rdism> jack: dont you mean disc o.o;;;
[02:53] <DanieC> WiseOdd, if you like GUI, you can use Disk Manager.
[02:53] <Bonez> varsendaggr, try sudo
[02:53] <Managu> WiseOdd: fdisk creates partitions.  mkfs (e.g. "mke2fs") formats partitions
[02:53] <geokok> ok...thanks...
[02:53] <de0xyrib0se> oki, i'm assuming i have to copy the skel manualy then as well...oh fun times
[02:53] <andrewski> hey n3rdism; seen you here before. :)
[02:53] <de0xyrib0se> shouldnt have wiped out the home folder...
[02:53] <baconbacon> nice typo
[02:53] <varsendaggr> nada
[02:53] <andrewski> de0xyrib0se: maybe there's something else, i'm not sure.
[02:54] <andrewski> de0xyrib0se: any chance you mean adduser?
[02:54] <WiseOdd> DanieC: disk manager won't let me format the disc? does it have anything to do with the disc being external usb disc?
[02:54] <geokok> anyway the thing is that I think my repos got messed after a slight crash automatix had....how can I restore and have only the default repos???I want anything else to be deleted
[02:54] <Jack_Sparrow> YEs Disc
[02:54] <n3rdism> hehe
[02:54] <scabootssca> Jack_Sparrow, i figured out why the menu wasnt there because my cd isn't 6.o6
[02:54] <de0xyrib0se> adduser just calls useradd
[02:54] <scabootssca> it's 5 something
[02:54] <de0xyrib0se> its the same thing
[02:54] <cpk2> !easysource
[02:54] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic

[02:55] <andrewski> de0xyrib0se: not exactly.
[02:55] <Jack_Sparrow> scabootssca: What cd are you using?
[02:55] <scabootssca> i tried both
[02:55] <scabootssca> or do you mean version
[02:55] <Jack_Sparrow> both what
[02:55] <DanieC> WiseOdd, What kind of disc are you gonna to format?
[02:55] <hondje> how weird, you're right
[02:55] <hondje> hondje@jihad:~$ file `which adduser`/usr/sbin/adduser: perl script text executable
[02:55] <plopa> when i rmmod ndiswrapper, the module is auto reloaded. How can i stop auto reload and switch to other driver ?
[02:55] <scabootssca> version 5.10 ubuntu
[02:56] <de0xyrib0se> ahaa
[02:56] <scabootssca> i'm gonna try a 6.06 kubuntu
[02:56] <de0xyrib0se> andrewski thank you for the tip
[02:56] <andrewski> de0xyrib0se: no problem; i always get them confused. :-P
[02:56] <ehazlett> hey all...  im trying to use apt to install software in a chroot env via python but keep getting E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg exited unexpectedly for every package... any ideas?
[02:56] <andrewski> cheers hondje
[02:56] <WiseOdd> DanieC: exf2, but only bcause that apparently is the standard linux mode... My main problem is that my disc all are in read only modes...
[02:56] <WiseOdd> monagu: thx man!
[02:57] <n3rdism> i kept getting this weird crash today when trying to update ubuntu, i thought it might be my sources file but i havent done anything to it. so instead of clicking the icon and seeing what it wanted to update, i just right clicked and said install all and it worked lol
[02:57] <scabootssca> Jack_Sparrow, do you think a 6.06 kubuntu cd will have it on it?
[02:57] <geokok> ok I created the list..should I delete mine and add these?
[02:57] <Jack_Sparrow> Grub, yes
[02:57] <trpr11> de0xyrib0se: hey. the alias command might help you out.
[02:57] <geokok> I only picked the default ones
[02:58] <Jack_Sparrow> DO you just need to install grub?
[02:58] <n3rdism> !grub > scabootssca
[02:58] <Ropechoborra> Someone else got problems with the sound of youtube videos???
[02:58] <DanieC> WiseOdd, read-only maybe caused by your usb switch
[02:58] <Sarra> I can't get videos to work anyway
[02:58] <n3rdism> i had some issues with grub and lilo so i had to download the SGD and reinstall it
[02:58] <de0xyrib0se> guys get a laugh out of this...i ran a script to clean up the home folders a bit and within it there was a rm -RF on the home folder :-)
[02:58] <trpr11> lol
[02:58] <zicada_> Hi, ive got an issue with international characters. I just installed, and i get my chars in gnome-terminal, but if i ssh to another box, i cant type them. Any ideas ?

[02:59] <Madpilot> mother, help.ubuntu.com
[02:59] <crimsun> zicada_: the remote host probably doesn't have the correct $TERM and/or locales generated
[02:59] <Jack_Sparrow> mother:  we can help you here
[02:59] <WiseOdd> DanieC: my internal disks are also read only, and when i tried what the online faq says, it didnt work at all :(
[02:59] <geokok> where is the file to add the repos?
[02:59] <zicada_> crimsun: it doesnt have UTF8, is that needed on the remote host for this to work ?
[02:59] <Jack_Sparrow> WiseOdd: all ntfs are set to read only
[02:59] <baconbacon> /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:00] <WiseOdd> DanieC: but now disk manager says there are no rekogniced partitions on the usb disc...
[03:00] <mother> Thank you. I will try the help.ubuntu site for now and come back with questions as soon as I know enough to formulate a question, LOL
[03:00] <Ropechoborra> Someone else got problems with the sound of youtube videos??? I can see the video but hear no sound at all =(
[03:00] <DanieC> WiseOdd, post your log here
[03:00] <n3rdism> i think there might be something you can get to support write on ntfs with 1.6
[03:00] <WiseOdd> Jack_Sparrow: is there any way to enable write permissions?
[03:00] <Jack_Sparrow> WiseOdd: Please do NOT write to NTFS
[03:00] <Jack_Sparrow> !ntfs
[03:00] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[03:01] <WiseOdd> DanieC: what log?
[03:01] <Jack_Sparrow> WiseOdd: Create a fat32 to share with windows if you must
[03:01] <DanieC> WiseOdd, err log
[03:01] <WiseOdd> Jack_Sparrow: cant i create it with linux? At this moment i have NO windows installations...
[03:01] <DanieC> If you use ntfs on Ubuntu, it's read-only.
[03:01] <crimsun> zicada_: at least ISO8859-1{,5}
[03:01] <n3rdism> jack_sparrow: what did you think of the new pirates of the caribean?
[03:02] <Jack_Sparrow> WiseOdd: What os is on the pc?
[03:02] <zicada_> crimsun: it does have that, works from every other box ive tried, and even from windows using putty
[03:02] <WiseOdd> Jack_sparrow: ubuntu linux
[03:02] <zicada_> crimsun: so it feels like the problem is local
[03:02] <n3rdism> wiseodd: you can format the drive with gparted
[03:02] <crimsun> zicada_: what's $TERM in putty and using g-t?
[03:02] <Jack_Sparrow> n3rdism: I told him that an hour ago...  and I loved the New Pirates
[03:02] <liquidscythe> hey
[03:03] <DanieC> WiseOdd, if you want your ntfs writable, please try FUSE
[03:03] <n3rdism> >.<
[03:03] <n3rdism> jack_sparrow: yar
[03:03] <WiseOdd> DanieC: i havent a clue which err log you are talking about... remember im a newb, real bad!

[03:04] <revmouse> I'm using breezy. I want to install ffmpeg, but I want to install the version that came with warty (ffmpeg-0.4.9-pre1). Is there a switch to use along with apt-get to do this?
[03:04] <zicada_> crimsun: export LANG=no ?
[03:04] <n3rdism> !fuse > wiseodd
[03:04] <Jack_Sparrow> WiseOdd: If you insist on writing to ntfs, be sure to backup regurlarly
[03:04] <Jack_Sparrow> !wmv > sarra

[03:05] <Jack_Sparrow> !java
[03:05] <ubotu> java is an object oriented programming language. To install a java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java For the runtime Sun Java install sun-java5-jre from the Multiverse repository
[03:05] <Mqueue> it's my first time on Edubuntu
[03:05] <fiznut> After installing Enlightenment I seem to have lost sound completely, no matter which mixer I use. Can anyone help?
[03:05] <Grarg_laptop> hey, does anyone know if there are any updates in the past week or so that might have caused problems to my wireless (an RT2500)
[03:05] <WiseOdd> Jack_sparrow: i dont insist on anything, just as long as i get writing permissions... thats the reason for my new disc, so i can make a backup of my existing data and use them in a new filesystem :)
[03:06] <zicada_> crimsun: what happens is when i type the norwegian chars, i can backspace past the prompt..
[03:06] <Mqueue> thanks much :)
[03:06] <zicada_> crimsun: and in irssi etc they look really weird :)
[03:06] <Jack_Sparrow> WiseOdd:  so maybe just the dd command to copy or clone your drive?
[03:06] <n3rdism> !ruby > n3rdism
[03:06] <ubotu> I know nothing about ruby  - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[03:06] <crimsun> zicada_: is irssi configured to use UTF-8?
[03:07] <hondje> dump is nice for backups
[03:07] <n3rdism> jack_sparrow: would rsync be a vaild solution too?
[03:07] <hondje> you can just drop it onto another disk
[03:07] <DanieC> WiseOdd, hondje, http://wiki.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?id=ntfsmount
[03:08] <liquidscythe> hey
[03:08] <zicada_> crimsun: not remotely, but i figured it out, added 8859-10 to gnome-term,  that worked
[03:08] <Jack_Sparrow> WiseOdd:  http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/    has some great tools on a bootable cd..
[03:08] <zicada_> crimsun: thanks anyway :)
[03:08] <liquidscythe> can someone help me with my gfx
[03:08] <crimsun> zicada_: excellent
[03:08] <liquidscythe> how can i see if my ubuntu is running the ati drivers

[03:12] <Ronz> read through that, and that will get you up and running. =)
[03:12] <trpr11> does default installation come with su? or must that be installed afterward? i realize sudo is preferred
[03:13] <n3rdism> !sudo > trpr11
[03:13] <xprisoner> has anyone else had an issue with dapper not recognizing DVDs and Cds lately?
[03:13] <Ronz> trpr11, no, it does not come w/ su
[03:13] <revmouse> how do I install an older version of a program, for example, an old version that came with the warty release?
[03:13] <Ronz> trpr11, to get a root terminal, type sudo -i
[03:13] <sethk> trpr11, yes, su is available
[03:13] <Ronz> revmouse, search for the .deb a la google
[03:14] <sethk> trpr11, everything that is available w.r.t. root on any other linux distribution is also available with ubuntu
[03:14] <Ronz> sethk, by default su is not available to root
[03:14] <revmouse> Ronz: Won't that create dependency issues if I do it outside apt-get?
[03:14] <trpr11> sethk: wasn't the question. i realize it is available. the question is it installed by default
[03:14] <sethk> Ronz, not true
[03:14] <imme-emosol> pentium 1 server and ubuntu? Or rather some other os?
[03:14] <Ronz> !sudo
[03:14] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[03:14] <sethk> trpr11, yes, it is installed by default
[03:14] <trpr11> Ronz: thanks but no thanks. i only wondered because kuser fails. i was told it depends on kdesu which depends on su
[03:14] <Ronz> k
[03:15] <sethk> Ronz, you are confused.  the root password is not set in _some_ of the installation mode, but _is_ set in other installation modes
[03:15] <hondje> su exists, make a new user and su newuser :)
[03:15] <trpr11> Ronz: so if su isn't available, kuser shouldn't launch, yeah? one theory unless su is available by default.. i wouldn't know because i already went to the trouble of installing it out of course when i first installed.
[03:15] <sethk> hondje, it exists, and furthermore, like any other su, the default user is root, so su (no args) == su root
[03:15] <sethk> trpr11, su is available
[03:16] <Ronz> trpr11, su is available. with ubuntu, su to root is not available
[03:16] <Ronz> thats what i mean to say, sethk    =)
[03:16] <sethk> Ronz, not true. su to root is available
[03:16] <hondje> I know that, which is why I said su exists
[03:16] <hondje> + in the default installation
[03:16] <sethk> Ronz, once the root password is set, su to root is available.  the root password is set during install for expert mode, but not set during install for default mode.
[03:17] <xprisoner> don't they have a sticky somewhere that says->    sudo passwd
[03:17] <shortyzgotpop> does anybody hear run ubuntu on a ppc ibook g3? if so i could greatly use your help
[03:17] <Ronz> yes xprisoner
[03:17] <Ronz> sethk, with some installs, by default...su'ing to root is not in ubuntu. they did this for security purpose
[03:18] <n3rdism> !ppc > shortyzgotpop
[03:18] <Dimensions> hi again .. ... its a same old problem happened to many ppl ... i have resized ubuntu partition and installed windows with it ... how do i get my grub back in action ?
[03:18] <Jack_Sparrow> !grub
[03:18] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[03:18] <sethk> Ronz, that's not true.  before the password is set, you can neither login as root nor su.  once the root password is set, you can both login as root and su.
[03:18] <Ronz> sethk, this was to avoid being able to run cracks on "root" user, and to do away with the root user. they made ubuntu so you can sudo, and not have to su
[03:18] <shortyzgotpop> you use ppc nerdism
[03:18] <n3rdism> dimensions: get the super grub disc
[03:18] <sethk> Ronz, all linux and unix varieties have sudo , and have for at least 15 years.
[03:18] <Methodeux> Hey folks.  Does anyone know where I can locate a libpango update?  I'm having a problem installing compiz-gnome, it depends on a more recent version..  and I can't find a repository for a more recent version.
[03:18] <n3rdism> shortyzgotpop: nopers
[03:19] <sethk> there is nothing at all different in the way that ubuntu handles su and root
[03:19] <Dimensions> n3rdism: i have rebooted system with live cd ... i donno whats super grub cd ?
[03:19] <n3rdism> !grub > dimensions
[03:19] <n3rdism> follow the link in the pm
[03:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Dimensions:  http://adrian15.raulete.net/grub/tiki-file_galleries.php
[03:20] <RyanTMulligan> is there any good apps for capturing video of my ubuntu OS?
[03:21] <reid> Anyone know of a good tool that logs webpages you have visited?(I prefer a backgrounf process(
[03:21] <knapper_> what repository can I find 'bonfire'?
[03:21] <imme-emosol> Ctrl+h ?
[03:21] <Ronz> sethk, with gentoo, you can su to root. by default in gentoo, you cant. in order to get it to work, you need to sudo passwd
[03:21] <trpr11> sethk Ronz: anyways, thanks for your input. kuser must be failing for another reason.
[03:21] <Sarra> When installing a dchroot on an AMD64 install, should I get the 64bit package, or the i386 package?
[03:21] <sethk> reid, almost all the browsers log it.  you could do it with iptables, but it's a bit ugly.
[03:22] <sethk> Ronz, that's not true for expert install mode.  You can't seriously contend that the ubuntu designers made a conscious decision to make an expert mode install less secure.
[03:22] <liquidscythe> WHERE CAN I GET libmad.so.0
[03:22] <n3rdism> does anyone know a good program to read temperature of cpu and the like? i think ive tried lmsensors before but that was 32bit slack
[03:23] <Jack_Sparrow> !libmad
[03:23] <ubotu> I know nothing about libmad - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[03:23] <Ronz> sethk, it may be like that in the expert mode. im saying when it is instaleld normally...non-expert mode, thats how they do it.
[03:23] <Ronz> i could not su to root
[03:23] <Jack_Sparrow> n3rdism: gdesklets
[03:23] <trpr11> Ronz sethk: that is becauase by default there is no root password. by setting that password, su to root becomes available
[03:23] <Hexidigital_> how can i tell what the process id of a running service is>?
[03:23] <n3rdism> jack_sparrow: thanks dood ^^
[03:24] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[03:24] <sethk> Ronz, it's not correct to say that you can't su to root.  The root password has not been set.  That's an entirely different thing.
[03:24] <ku> hmm, I googled this but I couldn't find a clear answer...: Can you run DX9 games on Linux?
[03:24] <sethk> Ronz, actually, the situation is that the root password is unknown, not unset, but that's a technicality.
[03:24] <ku> All the posts I found said to run it in OpenGL, but that's yucky
[03:24] <jojoman02> latest songbird build is being uploaded right now...
[03:24] <Jack_Sparrow> ku: take a DX9 game and google + Linux it
[03:24] <xaerion> does ubuntu offer a network install by chance?  if so, can someone point me in the right direction?
[03:24] <jojoman02> http://developer.songbirdnest.com/nightly/builds/linux/i386/
[03:24] <n3rdism> !cedega > ku
[03:24] <ku> Jack_Sparrow: yeah but the thing is, they all have different instructions for different games
[03:25] <reid> Yes- but It does not need to be connected with the browser
[03:25] <Jack_Sparrow> ku:  DOnt bring Windows games into Linux
[03:25] <sethk> xaerion, depends what you mean by a network install
[03:25] <RyanTMulligan> Does anyone know of a good desktop-video-capture utility?
[03:25] <liquidscythe> HOW DO I INSTALL THE ATI DRIVERS FOR UBUNTU
[03:25] <Hexidigital_> !ati
[03:25] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:25] <Jack_Sparrow> liquidscythe:  by reading the links you have been given
[03:25] <n3rdism> ease up on the caps there chief
[03:25] <knapper_> Where can I find a repository that contains bonfire - cd burning app.
[03:25] <lukaswayne9> How can I change my gnome keyring password?
[03:25] <ku> ^^... i might need to install WoW on it, if I can't, I don't think I'll be able to do a full switch (still dual booting)
[03:25] <ku> My roomates love to play on my computer
[03:25] <Ronz> sethk, so if you do an expert setup of ubuntu, you have access to root, because you set the password. if you do non-expert, you do not have a password for root. i think were just saying the same thing over and over, lol
[03:26] <Jack_Sparrow> knapper_: why not use K3B
[03:26] <liquidscythe> sry i was afk
[03:26] <xaerion> sethk: like, is there a small iso / pxeboot file with the installer, and it fetches packages as needed?  saves me from having to go out and buy blank cd's
[03:26] <liquidscythe> can you give me the link again
[03:26] <liquidscythe> please
[03:26] <ku> I also ring for some CS matches occasionally
[03:26] <trpr11> ku: the selection of games that will run is pretty limited.. i don't think WoW is on the list.. CS is on the other hand
[03:26] <xaerion> sethk: similar to debian's network install, or gentoo's minimal live cd

[03:26] <knapper_> Jack_Sparrow: I'd rather not install half of KDE
[03:26] <sethk> xaerion, not that I know of.  Much of the install does rely on accessing apps via the 'net, but the core install is off the cd.
[03:26] <liquidscythe> pm you?

[03:32] <Ronz> DeadlyTiga, what type of sound is it?
[03:32] <Ronz> let me rephrase that
[03:32] <Ronz> is it onboard?
[03:32] <DeadlyTiga> yes
[03:32] <Sarra> I think the onboard is AC97
[03:32] <DeadlyTiga> i use the onboard of the mainboard
[03:32] <Ronz> oh
[03:32] <DeadlyTiga> asus a7n8x deluxe 2.0
[03:32] <Sarra> It is on my mainboards
[03:32] <Ronz> it would be sudo apt-get
[03:33] <Sarra> My Epox board was left channel, since the entire right sound channel didn't work
[03:33] <Ronz> *waits*
[03:33] <n3rdism> sarra: epox whoooo!
[03:33] <Hexidigital_> hmm... i signed off? that must mean my server went offline :(
[03:33] <Ronz> sudo apt-get alsa-base

[03:34] <Dimensions> sorry guys ... but wanted to know abt reinstalling grub again .... i have booted system with live cd ... and typed grub now for the next step ... how do i find out whats my harddisk + boot partition numbers are ?
[03:34] <n3rdism> sarra: what happend?
[03:34] <Sarra> my second PCIE slot stopped working, I could only use one video card at a time, and the right speakers stopped working
[03:34] <n3rdism> ouch
[03:34] <WiseOdd> !lilo >WiseOdd
[03:35] <n3rdism> sarra: might have been a power issue and shorted out?
[03:35] <DeadlyTiga> Ronz: alsa base is installed
[03:35] <Sarra> Lightning, I think, though the sound issue happened from the day I took it out of the box
[03:35] <n3rdism> sarra: lightning? you dont have a surge protector?
[03:36] <Sarra> Um, it's... 5 years old
[03:36] <n3rdism> sarra: omigosh
[03:36] <Dimensions> i have typed df and it gave me a list instead of /dev/hda it says unionfs mounted on / ? ???

[03:37] <n3rdism> sarra: wish i could help
[03:37] <Jack_Sparrow> Sarra: I might be tempted to reflash that bios
[03:37] <Sarra> I did
[03:37] <knapper_> Meh, why is xubuntu iso larger than 700mb. I can't burn it to a cd :/
[03:38] <Jack_Sparrow> knapper_: yes you can
[03:38] <Jack_Sparrow> knapper_: what os are you in?
[03:38] <knapper_> Ubuntu
[03:38] <Sarra> Jack_Sparrow: I flashed the newest BIOS, and when it got worse (bluescreening), I reverted to my original BIOS, and then it was completely unusable
[03:38] <Thirsteh> you don't burn the iso to the CD, you extract and burn the iso to the CD
[03:39] <Jack_Sparrow> knapper_: You dont burn it as data you burn it as an image.
[03:39] <knapper_> I don't understand
[03:39] <Jack_Sparrow> I use K3B
[03:39] <knapper_> I know
[03:39] <knapper_> I used GnomeBaker. (Burn CD from ISO)
[03:39] <Jack_Sparrow> knapper_: what program are you using to burn the cd
[03:39] <Thirsteh> knapper_, why do you want to burn the Xubuntu CD if you're already running Ubuntu?
[03:39] <Dimensions> n3rdism: wanted to know abt reinstalling grub again .... i have booted system with live cd ... and typed grub now for the next step ... how do i find out whats my harddisk + boot partition numbers are ? i have typed df and it gave me a list instead of /dev/hda it says unionfs mounted on / ? ???
[03:40] <Jack_Sparrow> HE could have an opld version
[03:40] <Jack_Sparrow> old
[03:40] <knapper_> Thirsteh, for my laptop.
[03:40] <Thirsteh> Ah, ok
[03:40] <Thirsteh> Jack_Sparrow, he could upgrade if that was the case :P
[03:40] <Jack_Sparrow> I perfer NOT to upgrade.. thanks
[03:41] <Thirsteh> Jack_Sparrow, no problem.
[03:41] <Zyfo> Hello, I'm new at this. http://audacious-media-player.org/images/d/d6/Snapshot19.png I'm aware of that this is KDE, but is it possible to make something similiar with gnome? That is, having windows in several rows
[03:41] <andy-> any program out there to open *.rar files in linux?
[03:41] <TokenBad> is there a way to install ubuntu from hard drive?
[03:41] <Thirsteh> andy-, sudo apt-get install unrar-nonfree
[03:41] <prophet> antone know xgl pretty wel lhere
[03:41] <Thirsteh> TokenBad, not really if it's on an NTFS partition
[03:41] <n3rdism> dimensions: you dont know what your partitions are labeld?
[03:41] <andy-> Thirsteh, thx
[03:42] <knapper_> So how can I do this. My black-cd's are 700mb, but the Xubuntu iso is 711mb.
[03:42] <knapper_> ?
[03:42] <TokenBad> Thirsteh, a friend not have cd-rom...so he needs to install from drive
[03:42] <Thirsteh> andy-, after you've installed it, arK and the gnome archive utility should be able to decomress rar files, you can use 'unrar' on the command line as well
[03:42] <andy-> Package unrar-nonfree is not available,
[03:42] <Thirsteh> TokenBad, installing from a USB stick is possible, if he's currently using Windows, it's going to be hard to install from the harddrive.
[03:43] <KnowledgEngi_> ciao
[03:43] <KnowledgEngi_> ufff
[03:43] <KnowledgEngi_> stupid mplayer
[03:43] <TokenBad> this is an older computer
[03:43] <Thirsteh> andy-, can't remember the exact name. Try 'sudo apt-get install unrar' then
[03:43] <KnowledgEngi_> mplayer do not show the videos
[03:43] <Thirsteh> TokenBad, it doesn't have USB?
[03:43] <KnowledgEngi_> totem idem
[03:43] <Gun_Smoke> knapper_:  Grab the alternateCD.. It's smaller
[03:43] <andy-> Thirsteh, nope =\
[03:43] <andy-> hmm
[03:43] <Dimensions> n3rdism:  ... i dont remember unfortunately ...
[03:43] <Thirsteh> andy-, try 'sudo apt-get install rar-nonfree' then
[03:43] <Jack_Sparrow> knapper go to term and md5sum filename and verify you have a good file
[03:43] <Thirsteh> andy-, if none of these work, just open synaptic and search for 'rar' or 'unrar'
[03:43] <de0xyrib0se> ok i'm trying to recursively copy a folder into another folder 'cp -r folder/ folder1/' but this produces 'folder1/folder/files' i need it to just move the files and produce 'folder1/files'
[03:44] <Thirsteh> andy-, and make sure you have your mirrors set up, too. It might be in universe or multiverse
[03:44] <Zyfo> andy: sudo apt-cache search rar
[03:44] <n3rdism> dimensions: system > admin > disks should tell you the harddrives you have and the partitions
[03:44] <Thirsteh> de0xyrib0se, cp -r folder/* folder1/
[03:44] <knapper_> Jack_Sparrow: 177e527019c6a403c4213ca688dfdc4d  xubuntu-6.06-desktop-i386.iso
[03:44] <Zyfo> oh, don't type that
[03:44] <Zyfo> there are lots of things with rar in it
[03:44] <de0xyrib0se> cp -r /etc/skel/* /home/jsmith/
[03:44] <de0xyrib0se> cp: cannot stat `/etc/skel/*': No such file or directory
[03:45] <prophet> antone know xgl pretty wel lhere
[03:45] <Zyfo> "unrar" and "unrar-free" seems to exists tho, andy-
[03:45] <Thirsteh> de0xyrib0se, there's either nothing in the folder or the folder doesn't exist then
[03:45] <Jack_Sparrow> knapp, that dosent look right it should start with F..
[03:45] <Jack_Sparrow> let me look
[03:45] <revmouse> how do I wipe the MBR in linux?
[03:45] <de0xyrib0se> there are 2 hidden files in the folder
[03:45] <andy-> Thirsteh, it was unrar-free, thx :)
[03:45] <andy-> Zyfo, yea just found it.
[03:45] <Thirsteh> andy-, no prob mate
[03:45] <Thirsteh> de0xyrib0se, "hidden" files?
[03:45] <knapper_> Jack_Sparrow: Although on the ubuntu site it says 649mb.
[03:45] <de0xyrib0se> .filename
[03:45] <Zyfo> anyone who know something about my question?
[03:46] <Thirsteh> de0xyrib0se, try cp -r /etc/skel/.* /home/jsmith then
[03:46] <Dimensions> n3rdism:  got it ... i have hda and unionfs on / ... which one i should install grub on ?
[03:46] <n3rdism> dimensions: /
[03:46] <reid> I need an app that will log visited wepages secretly because my history keeps on getting deleted
[03:46] <de0xyrib0se> but this would copy only the hidden files, what if i had a mix of files hidden and regular?
[03:46] <reid> Anyone know of such>
[03:46] <Thirsteh> de0xyrib0se, *.*
[03:46] <goonies> does ubuntu come stock with sshd?
[03:46] <snoops> what do you mean by wipe it revmouse? the mbr takes up the first 512 bytes on the hdd.. 446 for the boot info and the 66 for partition table
[03:47] <JW> andy - for best rar support (with the latest version), get rar from rarlabs.com and copy the file rar to /usr/bin (sudo cp rar /usr/bin)
[03:47] <goonies> if not which package should i install to use it
[03:47] <jbroome> goonies: nned to apt-get it after your install
[03:47] <Jack_Sparrow> knapp, http://ubuntu.cs.utah.edu/releases/6.06/MD5SUMS
[03:47] <goonies> ssh?
[03:47] <goonies> or openssh-server
[03:47] <Zyfo> http://audacious-media-player.org/images/d/d6/Snapshot19.png I'm aware of that this is KDE, but is it possible to make something similiar with gnome? That is, having windows in several rows in the down panel.
[03:47] <qwertybob> im trying to install ubuntu and i get file system not found
[03:47] <ceca> hola que tal
[03:47] <jbroome> openssh-server
[03:47] <jbroome> !es > ceca
[03:47] <knapper_> Jack_Sparrow: I'm just going to redownload it. It appears GWGet farked up the other download.
[03:48] <Hexidigital_> ok, here's my quandry... i need to run my webserver (24.228.something.someting) with dynamic ip updating (which is configured correctly)... i also need to run CUPS on my LAN (192.168.0.2), which is also configured correctly... however, i experience a conflict with network cards... i NEED both of them up for my own reasons... is there a way i can end this conflict? (i apologize about the length of this)
[03:48] <Hexidigital_> would disabling the gateway keep me connected to the LAN? (and not routed to the 'net?)
[03:48] <Thirsteh> de0xyrib0se, if that doesn't work you can always do 'cp -r /etc/skel/.* /home/jsmith/ && cp -r /etc/skel/*.* /home/jsmith', but that's rather cumbersome.
[03:48] <qwertybob> trying to install /dev/sda scsi1 , the 2nd hard drive
[03:48] <prophet> antone know xgl pretty wel lhere
[03:49] <de0xyrib0se> it doesnt work, this is nuts, how complicated can copying be :-)
[03:49] <Thirsteh> Hexidigital_, what kind of conflict, IP conflict?
[03:49] <Hexidigital_> Thirsteh::  well, connecting to hexidigital.mydomain.com causes a timeout when both network cards are up
[03:49] <Thirsteh> de0xyrib0se, hidden files are generally meant to remain untouched. Be sure they're not read-only only by root, if that's the case you need to add a sudo
[03:49] <Hexidigital_> Thirsteh::  no ip conflict though
[03:50] <tuliomgui> hello
[03:50] <Thirsteh> Hexidigital_, if one has a local IP address and one has DHCP(?), that shouldn't happen. Are you using DHCP for your internet adapter?
[03:51] <Hexidigital_> Thirsteh::  yes
[03:51] <tuliomgui> can someone tell how do I take off the icons of the mounted drivers of the desktop??
[03:51] <Thirsteh> tuliomgui, right click them
[03:51] <qwertybob> is there some other way to format the drive, i get file system not found
[03:51] <minerale> how do I enable sshd on ubuntu?
[03:51] <tuliomgui> Thirsteh: umount??
[03:52] <Zyfo> anyone seen my questions? :<
[03:52] <Thirsteh> Hexidigital_, doesn't make much sense, to be honest. Are there any differences when doing 'ipconfig' with internet working, and 'ipconfig' with internet conflicting?
[03:52] <tuliomgui> i dont want to umount them, just take off the desktop...
[03:52] <Dimensions> n3rdism:  sorry but i have hda3 ntfs and hda1 as linux ... ? shoujld it be root(hd1,2) ?
[03:52] <Hexidigital_> Thirsteh::  nothing that would produce an error
[03:52] <Thirsteh> tuliomgui, no, not unmount. I just reckoned there was a "remove this icon" option when you rightclicked. If there's not, look through the Gnome settings, there is a checkbox that disables "Automatically place icons to mounted devices on desktop", or something similar
[03:53] <n3rdism> dimensions: hda1
[03:53] <JW> tuliomgui -  in gconf-editor, look for the nautilus prefs , there you can remove the icons.
[03:53] <Igaaa> hi everybody
[03:53] <n3rdism> dimensions: but not your swap
[03:53] <xipietotec> Does anyone have any idea how to compile the candido engine in ubuntu?
[03:53] <Hexidigital_> Thirsteh::  if i disable the default gateway in the LAN, in theory, should that resolve issues with the DHCP?
[03:53] <tuliomgui> Thirsteh: thanks man
[03:53] <Jack_Sparrow> tuliomgui: gconf-editor    /apps/nautilus/desktop uncheck volumes visable
[03:53] <tuliomgui> JW: where do i find this gconf-editor??
[03:53] <tuliomgui> konsole?
[03:54] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[03:54] <jordan> is there anybody who got vmware working/
[03:54] <Thirsteh> Hexidigital_, if there's no visual indication of anything being changed in your internet settings, it may sound more like a hardware issue, e.g. IRQ conflict. What gateway are you talking about, exactly?
[03:54] <Jack_Sparrow> term
[03:54] <Igaaa> I just tried to install warcraft 3 and frozen throne upon my dapper, and have a pb : when I launch frozen thone, I get a black screen
[03:54] <Thirsteh> tuliomgui, np. Sorry for not being very specific, not running Linux atm.
[03:54] <JW> tuliomgui - start it with a terminal
[03:54] <qwertybob> creating ext3 file system, error  no file system found at about 15% it goes to 5% and gives error to f
[03:54] <mrcoyote> Good Night all see u later maybe ++
[03:54] <Hexidigital_> Thirsteh::  gateway to LAN... 192.168.0.1
[03:54] <n3rdism> jack_sparrow: this gdesklets kicks arse thanks man!
[03:54] <qwertybob> im wondering if i should format with seagate utility or something
[03:54] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[03:54] <Dimensions> n3rdism: it says selected disk doesn't exists
[03:54] <n3rdism> <3!!!
[03:54] <monkievox> howdy!  i'm installing ubuntu on a 20GB drive.  I am creating partitions manually.  what do you suggest sizes for ROOT?  I think i'll make SWAP 3xRAM, ja?
[03:55] <Thirsteh> Hexidigital_, you have a router?
[03:55] <Hexidigital_> Thirsteh::  yes
[03:55] <Jack_Sparrow> monkievox: I suggest you let Ubuntu set it all up for you
[03:55] <[jonne] > i had just the same question. how big should my swap be?
[03:55] <Jack_Sparrow> twice ram
[03:55] <tuliomgui> thanks JW and Jack_Sparrow
[03:55] <Hexidigital_> Thirsteh::  but port forwarding (unfortunately) is not an option in my setup
[03:55] <tuliomgui> =D
[03:55] <[jonne] > i have 2GB ram, and a 100GB hd
[03:55] <tuliomgui> it worked very well
[03:55] <monkievox> Jack: I have WinXP on another drive on this machine.
[03:55] <Jack_Sparrow> tuliomgui: np
[03:55] <jordan> hello did anybody get vmware working/
[03:55] <tuliomgui> Jack_Sparrow: do you know how can I update my amarok??
[03:55] <Thirsteh> Hexidigital_, I don't exactly understand why you need two network adaptors running at the same time if you're behind a router either way?
[03:55] <jdmpike> hello everyone, does anyone know a good tightVNC setup?
[03:56] <Thirsteh> Hexidigital_, oh, so you have two internet connections?
[03:56] <Jack_Sparrow> monkievox: It will see it and be fine
[03:56] <jdmpike> I am looking for a killer howto for tightvnc
[03:56] <Igaaa> jonne : 1 GB will be enough
[03:56] <Hexidigital_> Thirsteh::  yes... well... no... one for intranet, and one for internet
[03:56] <baconbacon> tightvnc on ubuntu?
[03:56] <Jack_Sparrow> tuliomgui: No sorry, dont use it and Im rather busy
[03:56] <Thirsteh> jdmpike, google 'how-to tightvnc' :)
[03:56] <[jonne] > ok, tnx
[03:56] <jdmpike> yup, with ssh eventually
[03:56] <tuliomgui> np! :D
[03:56] <[jonne] > i chose the good amound then
[03:56] <tuliomgui> JW: do you know how can I update my amarok??
[03:56] <xipietotec> these are the installation instructions for the candido engine, but they don't work!: Installation Instructions:
[03:56] <xipietotec> After the extraction of the file, go in the source dir and compile as following:
[03:56] <xipietotec> ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-animation
[03:56] <xipietotec> make
[03:56] <xipietotec> make install
[03:56] <monkievox> Jack: I also have to leave 212MB free for HPs quickplay install :)
[03:56] <Thirsteh> Hexidigital_, so your router doesn't supply internet?
[03:56] <jordan> hello...
[03:56] <Hexidigital_> Thirsteh::  no
[03:56] <Zyfo> http://audacious-media-player.org/images/d/d6/Snapshot19.png I'm aware of that this is KDE, but is it possible to make something similiar with gnome? That is, having windows in several rows in the down panel.
[03:57] <Hexidigital_> Thirsteh::  may i have deeper issues?
[03:57] <jordan> i need help with vmware
[03:57] <[jonne] > monkievox: which laptop do you have?
[03:57] <Jack_Sparrow> monkievox: THen create a 212mb partition
[03:57] <[jonne] > you probably have the same one as me
[03:57] <Hexidigital_> Thirsteh::  my server is sort of a pre-intranet firewall
[03:57] <JW> tuliogomi - i'm not using kde; is the version you want not in the repo ?
[03:57] <monkievox> dv1420us
[03:57] <[jonne] > i'm not sure where quickplay is on it
[03:57] <Thirsteh> Hexidigital_, you're sharing the internet connection?
[03:57] <n3rdism> dimensions: what does your fstab look like? pastebin it
[03:58] <Hexidigital_> Thirsteh::  no (afaik)
[03:58] <Thirsteh> Hexidigital_, through your computer/server ?
[03:58] <xipietotec> Anyone? I'm trying to improve my desktop
[03:58] <tuliomgui> JW: i insalled from the repo
[03:58] <tuliomgui> but it is in the version 1.3 the repo, and there is a 1.4 version
[03:58] <damnation> is there any specific reason when i try make a network mapped drive from another pc to another, on reboot they disconnect and i have to re-join network and reboot again after the previous rebooot
[03:58] <damnation> :S
[03:58] <tuliomgui> i'd like to update it
[03:58] <damnation> ignore that!
[03:58] <JW> tuliogomi what version do you have and what version do you want to install ?
[03:58] <jordan> ntldr is missing.
[03:58] <Thirsteh> Hexidigital_, hmm. Afraid I can't help you then, nothing you've said sounds like anything that would happen .. related to software
[03:58] <tuliomgui> i have 1.3 and want to install 1.4
[03:58] <n3rdism> damnation: like opeth? ^^
[03:58] <damnation> lol, not that much :P
[03:59] <reid> I need a tool to log the history of visited webpages in the backgrounf
[03:59] <Hexidigital_> Thirsteh::  ok :) thanks for your time... back to google
[03:59] <damnation> i get lots of like opeth and cradle of filth
[03:59] <damnation> ;)
[03:59] <KnowledgEngi_> somebody know a video player that not create to much problem ???
[03:59] <Igaaa> has someone installed warcraft 3 via wine ?
[03:59] <damnation> um
[03:59] <Thirsteh> Hexidigital_, hehe, apologies :)
[03:59] <jordan> ....
[03:59] <jordan> i needs help
[03:59] <Thirsteh> KnowledgEngi_, I've never had any problems with MPlayer.
[03:59] <reid> Opeth is great
[03:59] <Jack_Sparrow> Lose your windows?
[03:59] <[jonne] > meh, i left the last ntfs partition whole, i hope that's the one with quickplay ;)
[03:59] <n3rdism> reid: yar :D
[03:59] <damnation> i want to install ubuntu without using a CD, i have the ISO image, isn't there a program or something that allows me to install from .iso?
[03:59] <monkievox> jonne: well, quickplay instructyions only indicate that i should leave some unallocated space aside during winxp install.
[03:59] <JW> tuliogomi - you can try to download it from edgy, if you do not want to enable the repo, you can go to archive.ubuntu.com , and get the files in the pool
[03:59] <Hexidigital_> what's a window?
[03:59] <xipietotec> knowledge: IF you get the codecs, Mplayer shouldn't give you any problems really
[03:59] <Hexidigital_> :)
[03:59] <reid> yar?
[03:59] <Jack_Sparrow> jordan
[03:59] <xipietotec> you still can't use anything with DRM on it though
[03:59] <bigfoot1> the login screen is currently set to DVORAK layout. How can i make it QWERY keyboard layout? there's no option to change keyboard layouts in the login screen. so i guess it must be chosen beforehand. where?
[04:00] <KnowledgEngi_> w32codecs are installed
[04:00] <n3rdism> reid: lol yah opeth is good stuff
[04:00] <[jonne] > i hope it still works after i install ubuntu
[04:00] <bigfoot1> , I wouldn't mind setting it to QWERTY now. Because in a few
[04:00] <bigfoot1> hours, the pc is going to its new owner (who uses qwerty).
[04:00] <Thirsteh> damnation, no, that would be installing from the harddrive, and if you're running Windows, that's not possible
[04:00] <Thirsteh> damnation, USB stick is, however
[04:00] <jordan> jack sparrow ; how do i get windows2000 working in vmware
[04:00] <KnowledgEngi_> i has install all by synaptic
[04:00] <tuliomgui> JW: how do enable the repo?
[04:00] <reid> Oh ii thought you meant it was a tool lol n3rdism
[04:00] <bigfoot1> System/Admin/Login Window doesn't seem to have anything to do with keyboard layouts.
[04:00] <damnation> oic, thanks Thirsteh, n no i got no USB stick =[
[04:00] <n3rdism> :p
[04:00] <tuliomgui> i think they are all already enabled
[04:00] <tuliomgui> let me see
[04:00] <Hexidigital_> bigfoot1::  system > pref > keyboard
[04:01] <Jack_Sparrow> jordan, I dont provide support for vmware, or wine or WIndows games... good luck..
[04:01] <JW> tuliogomi - temporarily replace dapper with edgy in /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:01] <jordan> cries
[04:01] <Thirsteh> damnation, sux2bU then -- Abuse ShipIt! :) I assume you have a CD-rom drive?
[04:01] <jordan> why isnt my keyboard working right.
[04:01] <KnowledgEngi_> root@user-desktop:/etc/apt# cat sources.list | grep non
[04:01] <KnowledgEngi_> deb http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf dapper free non-free
[04:01] <KnowledgEngi_> deb-src http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf dapper free non-free
[04:01] <jordan> shift isnt working at all
[04:01] <damnation> lol, i can install, i just don't want to wait til this afternoon
[04:01] <KnowledgEngi_> w32codecs is on this repository
[04:01] <Thirsteh> Jack_Sparrow, you're so cool.
[04:01] <bigfoot1> Hexidigital_: THank you. does that change login window's keyboard layout?
[04:01] <Jack_Sparrow> what
[04:01] <Thirsteh> damnation, hehe :)
[04:01] <damnation> i can burn it i just wanted to install now, but due to circumstances i cant use the main pc
[04:02] <damnation> =[
[04:02] <Hexidigital_> bigfoot1::  afaik
[04:02] <JW> tuliogomi- or get the files directly here : http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/amarok/
[04:02] <Hexidigital_> bigfoot1::  there's a layout option
[04:02] <Thirsteh> KnowledgEngi_, on Mplayer's website (www.mplayerhq.hu), you can get the "Linux all" codec pack, or "Linux essential"
[04:02] <bigfoot1> Hexidigital_: yes, but changing it to QWERTY in there willl mean that I have to use qwerty even after I login, correct?
[04:02] <Hexidigital_> bigfoot1::  yes
[04:03] <JW> tuliogomi - but be warned, this will probably trigger other dependecies to update
[04:03] <tuliomgui> np =D
[04:03] <[jonne] > is there more info on quickplay and ubuntu?
[04:03] <KnowledgEngi_> root@user-desktop:/etc/apt# apt-get install w32codecs
[04:03] <[Ex0r] > hmm
[04:03] <[jonne] > somewhere
[04:03] <KnowledgEngi_> i think that is complete
[04:03] <tuliomgui> JW: do you know how can i remove one version of ubuntu from my pc?
[04:04] <bigfoot1> Hexidigital_: there are 2 users on this pc at this time. I use Dvorak. My friend uses qwerty. how can i set the login window's layout to Qwerty, while keeping my after-log-in life at dvorak?
[04:04] <KnowledgEngi_> and i do not think that mpg need wincodecs
[04:04] <monkievox> jonne: i think i have a solution for quickplay
[04:04] <[Ex0r] > every time I come back from being away, everything on my desktop is gone
[04:04] <tuliomgui> JW: i upgrade my 5.0 to 6 TLS and now im with few free disk space
[04:04] <tuliomgui> JW: do you know how can i remove the 5.0?
[04:04] <Hexidigital_> bigfoot1::  i'm not sure... i only use QWERTY
[04:04] <[jonne] > great
[04:04] <JW> tuliomgui - install gparted
[04:04] <Zyfo> http://audacious-media-player.org/images/d/d6/Snapshot19.png I'm aware of that this is KDE, and not gnome as ubuntu is. Is it possible to have windows in several rows in the down panel? If it is, how?
[04:04] <bigfoot1> Hexidigital_: ok.
[04:05] <bigfoot1> Hexidigital_: i'll try changing layouts when I'm logged into the other account
[04:05] <Jack_Sparrow> tuliomgui: how big is that drive..
[04:05] <tuliomgui> Jack_Sparrow: 5Gb
[04:05] <JW> tuliomgui - then remove the unneeded partitions and create the partions you need
[04:05] <[jonne] > i'll just let ubuntu install first, i'm still running the liveCD
[04:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Zyfo: try gdesklets
[04:05] <Hexidigital_> bigfoot1::  you MAY be able to keep the settings per-user, but i'm not sure
[04:05] <Zyfo> Jack_Sparrow, thanks
[04:05] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[04:05] <JW> tuliomgui- then system/admin/disks to set them up and mount them
[04:05] <tuliomgui> JW: there was an error with install gparted
[04:05] <amigamia> how do i mount a hard drive? with cdlive ubuntu?
[04:05] <monkievox> jonne: i don't think that'll work though :(
[04:06] <KnowledgEngi_> nice background
[04:06] <Jack_Sparrow> JW: there may not be two versions on that drive.
[04:06] <KnowledgEngi_> very romantic
[04:06] <tuliomgui> JW:  missing destination file operand after `gparted'
[04:06] <tuliomgui> the error
[04:06] <monkievox> jonne: ubuntu won't know to leave the space unless you tell it to, and the "install on biggest avail space" option doesn't do that
[04:06] <bigfoot1> Hexidigital_: but when if i turn off the computer and then turn it back on, whose settings will be used for the neutral log-in screen?
[04:07] <[jonne] > i actually created 3 partitions
[04:07] <Dimensions> n3rdism:  i tried fixing it automatically and gave these commands mount /dev/hda3 /boot/ and then /sbin/grub-install /dev/hda .... then was configuring grub menus after it restarted in grub shell ... when i give command nano /boot/grub/menu.lst it says uncrec command
[04:07] <amigamia> how do you start samba in ubuntu when using cdlive cd?
[04:07] <Hexidigital_> bigfoot1::  i'd assume the first user created
[04:07] <ben_ssh> i'm having some trouble getting all my drives working on the family computer.  Main drive: hda(1,2,3) Storage: hdb1 Main CD: hdc .  I can't get the second cd drive (LG dvd burner) working, i think i'm out of hdx's... any suggestions?
[04:07] <bigfoot1> yes, apparently so.
[04:07] <ardchoille> !info rdesktop
[04:07] <JW> Jack_Sparrow - tuliomgui : Jack is right, how come you have 2 versions on the same drive if you upgraded ?
[04:07] <ubotu> rdesktop: RDP client for Windows NT/2000 Terminal Server. In repository main, is optional. Version 1.4.1-1.1 (dapper), package size 98 kB, installed size 388 kB

[04:08] <KnowledgEngi_> i think that i reinstall ubuntu
[04:08] <KnowledgEngi_> but using alternate CD
[04:08] <tuliomgui> JW: i dont know i just clicked upgrade from the update manager
[04:08] <[jonne] > meh; i'll just worry about ubuntu first, and worry about quickplay later. I'll find more on the forums, probably
[04:08] <mathew-ef> Hi All, With Ubuntu 5.10 WPA worked with my Linsys WRT54G v2 but with Ubuntu 6.06, I could not get it up with wpasupplicant.conf or under /etc/network/interfaces. As I do not have a wired NIC, I need to get the wireless with WPA. Do I nedd to get any software upgraded after full installtio? or is there a way to install the NM from a single .dbe file?
[04:09] <JW> tuliomgui - so you dont have 2 version
[04:09] <eugman> Is the pink hole below my green speaker hole the microphone one? And is there any reason why it might not be capturing input?
[04:09] <tuliomgui> JW: now in the boot loader there is 2 ubuntus
[04:09] <[jonne] > i'm just happy wireless worked out of the box on the livecd
[04:09] <JW> tuliomgui - this is only the kernel
[04:09] <KnowledgEngi_> Desktop CD is builded for portatil PC ?
[04:09] <n3rdism> dimensions: you tried to nano in grub?
[04:09] <[Ex0r] > anyone here heard of MAG (a computer monitor company)
[04:09] <JW> tuliomgui - you can remove the old kernel in synaptic
[04:09] <KnowledgEngi_> by pc is not portatil
[04:09] <reid> How do I use a proxy with nmap
[04:09] <tuliomgui> JW: so, how can i free more space??
[04:09] <Dimensions> yes n3rdism
[04:09] <Jack_Sparrow> tuliomgui: that does not mean you have two installs
[04:09] <tuliomgui> ive alreadde cleaned the apt-get
[04:09] <monkievox> jonne: wireless... i know what you mean!  good luck then with quickplay!
[04:09] <Paddy_EIRE> hey guys, i have recently installed "WebBoard" on my comp and have been trying to figure out how i am supposed to configure it
[04:09] <tuliomgui> Jack_Sparrow: good to know
[04:10] <JW> tuliomgui - to free space you can only delete uneeded files
[04:10] <n3rdism> Dimensions: im fairly sure grub cant nano
[04:10] <Paddy_EIRE> any ideas
[04:10] <Dimensions> thats what they have written on the website ... so i followed it ... n3rdism
[04:10] <Dimensions> they wants me to open it in any text editor ...
[04:10] <tuliomgui> JW: the hard is to know wich are they...auhauhauha ill try here...thanks for the help!!
[04:10] <tuliomgui> Jack_Sparrow: you too
[04:11] <Paddy_EIRE> anyone here use WebBoard
[04:11] <n3rdism> dimensions: hrm. looks like im wrong then. to be honest i think i was really lucky with my grub troubles. it kinda fixed itself when i ran the disc and configured it inside ubuntu
[04:11] <trpr11> tuliomgui: you can go through directories like /var/log and clean out the ancient stuff
[04:11] <JW> tuliomgui - just look in synaptic for linux-image, and remove the smaller version (also remove linux-restricted, etc.. everything with the smaller version
[04:11] <mathew-ef> Any replies?
[04:11] <Dimensions> n3rdism:  my linux is on /dev/hda1    windows on /dev/hda3 while swap is on /dev/hda2 ....what do i write instead of this in grub if i am doing it from live cd shell ?
[04:11] <demyztikx> So I finally got it to run the install. However I got a checksum error. Tried to download it again, same error.
[04:11] <JW> tuliomgui - but don't remove the other kernel , otherwise you cannot boot anymore !
[04:11] <tuliomgui> lol
[04:12] <tuliomgui> auhauhauhuhauh
[04:12] <tuliomgui> ill watch out for that

[04:13] <Jack_Sparrow> That disk searches for all installations and works wonders.
[04:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Mikeit is your network card more than likely
[04:14] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebot:  it is your network card more than likely

[04:19] <mikebot> n3rdism: how do i ping?
[04:19] <Jack_Sparrow> zzy:  you have two package managers open
[04:19] <mikebot> n3rdism: well, my dsl requires a logon and password, and i haven't typed those anywhere
[04:19] <bigfoot1> Jack_Sparrow: no time for that
[04:19] <tuliomgui> zzy: it is not recomended
 perhaps you do not have the opera repository in ur sources list
[04:19] <tuliomgui> zzy: what do you want to do?
[04:19] <JW> zzy -do it with sudo commandname
[04:19] <n3rdism> mikebot: lol makes sense. ping -c www.google.com

[04:20] <c|int> hello all, I'm in and out of debian and ubuntu
[04:20] <JW> zzy - to su, you need to set the root password first
[04:20] <nosklo> mikebot, your dsl requires password? try sudo pppoeconf
[04:20] <mikebot> n3rdism: "ping: bad number of packets to transmit":
[04:20] <bigfoot1> Going to System/Preferences/Layout or System/Admin/LoginWindow doesn't help
 how did it end up different anyway
[04:20] <zzy> i didnt set a password
[04:21] <n3rdism> mikebot: ^ nosklo
[04:21] <bigfoot1> Paddy_EIRE: i must have changed it in some configuration file, but i don't rememebr
[04:21] <tuliomgui> zzy: try to boot in recovery mode and type passwd to enter the root password
[04:21] <JW> zzy, if your new its not recommended you use root
[04:21] <Paddy_EIRE> sounds odd
[04:21] <bigfoot1> maybe some x.org config file
[04:21] <mikebot> n3rdism: when i do "sudo pppoeconf" i click yes on two pages, then get the error:
[04:21] <zzy> when i type su
[04:21] <Paddy_EIRE> i wonder if there is a backup somewhere
[04:21] <zzy> and my password it not working
[04:21] <JW> zzy sudo passwd root will set it
[04:21] <c|int> my thing deal is. as an IT developer.. System Engineer, Networks as well, adn testing with Winwows XP and Vista in VMware on ubuntu, debian lacks alot of support for hardware.. well, had to do alot for getting resolution on my lapto and I also testing testing/unstable. but.. alot of packages for ubuntu area really stable, I just edit the run levels, services. and I'm going do a custom.. xfs for ubuntu
[04:21] <c|int> how easy . is it to get xgl in ubuntu
[04:22] <mikebot> n3rdism: "Sorry, I scanned 1 interface, but the Access Concentrator of your provider did not respond..."
[04:22] <JW> zzy - but work with sudo, its better
[04:22] <zzy> it not working
[04:22] <mikebot> n3rdism: "Please check you network and modem cables. Another reason for the scan failure may also be another running pppoe process which controls the modem."
[04:22] <Paddy_EIRE> anyone know how WebBoard works
[04:22] <bigfoot1> is  /etc/X11/xorg.conf a global setting, affecting all users on this box?
[04:22] <n3rdism> mikebot: dont know what to tell you man, not much experience with dsl :(
[04:22] <mikebot> n3rdism: modem lights suggest everything is working properly
[04:22] <warreng_> so i'm trying to boot an ubuntu HD on a different computer... it boots, but X windows craps out..... if i backup the xorg.conf so it'll work on my old computer, how can i have it re-discover hardware and write an xorg.conf for the new computer?
[04:22] <Paddy_EIRE> or how to configure WebBoard
[04:22] <snoops> c|int pretty easy, but bare in mind it is alpha software.. we've got great wiki's though :)
[04:22] <mikebot> n3rdism: O.K., thanks for trying
[04:23] <n3rdism> np
[04:23] <sethk> zzy, do sudo passwd      then use _your_ password at the prompt.
[04:23] <c|int> yeah, I see that..
[04:23] <JW> zzy - "sudo passwd root" must work
[04:23] <smo> bigfoot1: that's what I'd suggest, but I don't have X on this machine to try
[04:23] <c|int> I sure am pushing myself with debian as well,
[04:23] <sethk> zzy, after you enter your password, then it will prompt you for root's password, twice
[04:23] <JW> zzy - but dont do it :)
[04:23] <sethk> JW, sudo passwd root is a shortcut for sudo passwd
[04:23] <bigfoot1> smo, yes. i just changed it from "dvorak" to "qwerty" hope it works
[04:23] <bigfoot1> i'll log off
[04:23] <bigfoot1> now and see if it works
[04:23] <sethk> JW, because sudo runs passwd as root, and passwd with no args implies the current user
[04:23] <bigfoot1> thank you smo
[04:23] <zzy> passwd: password updated successfully
[04:23] <JW> seth - yeah :D
[04:24] <sethk> JW, I just hate to type extra words  :)
[04:24] <warreng_> anybody?? how do you auto-configure X so it writes a xorg.conf?
[04:24] <snoops> c|int are you on nvidia or ati?
[04:24] <JW> sethk - me neither :D
[04:24] <warreng_> it used to be XF86Config or something on older distros
[04:24] <zzy> ok it says it says root
[04:24] <smo> bigfoot1: make sure you're restarting X in the process.  not sure if gdm does that.  if it's still dvorak, hit ctrl+alt+backspace to force X
[04:24] <c|int> nvidia, for workstation. laptop has the mobile 915
[04:24] <tuliomgui> Jack_Sparrow: do you use firefox in you ubuntu?

[04:38] <JW> tuliomgui - thx
[04:38] <Jack_Sparrow> scabootssca: that super grub cd will do it
[04:39] <marshall_> hey guys
[04:39] <scabootssca> i dont have any cd's
[04:39] <marshall_> does anybody know how to save a dvd image?
[04:39] <ardchoille> marshall_: burn it to a blank dvd as an image
[04:40] <Bonez> marshall_, save it where?
[04:40] <rooter> I'm to this point recovering grub - 4. Type "root (hd0,6)", or whatever your harddisk + boot partition numbers are (my /boot is at /dev/sda7, which translates to hd0,6 for grub). I can't figure out what to use.
[04:40] <marshall_> i have one dvd burner which is also the only dvd writer, im trying to copy a dvd
[04:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Well, time for all good things to come to an end.  See you all tomorrow.  TIme to eat and chase the wife, or was that eat the wife and chase dinner.. hummmmm
[04:40] <n3rdism> see ya jack_sparrow :)
[04:40] <Bonez> marshall_, is it dvd video or dvd data?
[04:40] <JW> CU JAck

[04:42] <odla> man dvd support is pretty bad on dapper
[04:42] <tuliomgui> Jack_Sparrow:  see ya man, thanks again!!
[04:42] <tuliomgui> =D
[04:42] <odla> i don't remember having these issues with breezy
[04:42] <Bonez> odla, what sort of issues u having?
[04:43] <odla> Bonez: well totem now won't open and when it was opening it would quit on a dvd about 40 minutes into it complaining about libdvdcss not being installed (which it is), gxine is extremely choppy, and mplayer crashes when i try to skip ahead
[04:43] <eugman> I have a mic problem can someone help me?
[04:44] <farous> odla: did yu read the help page on restricted formats
[04:44] <farous> for surely you did that setup on breezy
[04:44] <odla> farous: yup
[04:44] <Intangir> how do i make it so i can connect to more than one ssh server that are behind the same NAT IP?
[04:44] <farous> odla: and you installed libdvdcss2 and totem-xine
[04:44] <Dimensions> ahh Jack_Sparrow super grub isn't working either
[04:44] <Intangir> when itry to connect to the 2nd one it says the rsa hash doesnt match, that its not a known host
[04:44] <odla> farous: yup
[04:45] <sgillespie> Hey guys
[04:45] <Bonez> odla, i am not having any such problems, sounds like you may just have a bad installation
[04:45] <sgillespie> how do I restart my dhcp?
[04:45] <farous> odla: i must admit i too had problems with totem on dapper. only recommendation i have is install vlc
[04:45] <eugman> Can someone help me with a mic problem?
[04:46] <odla> i'll try rebooting cause that should at least allow me to tinker with totem again and if that doesn't work i'll give vlc a try
[04:46] <kruncher> can someone help me please?
[04:46] <n3rdism> VLC is the win
[04:47] <goatmale> kruncher just ask
[04:47] <kruncher> i did last time and got no help
[04:47] <goatmale> best way to get people to help
[04:47] <goatmale> keep trying
[04:47] <kruncher> how do i mount an ext3 partition so that all users have read and write support
[04:47] <goatmale> I have no idea.
[04:47] <kruncher> lol
[04:47] <goatmale> did you make a post?
[04:48] <goatmale> ubuntufourms.org
[04:48] <kruncher> at ubuntuforums.org?
[04:48] <goatmale> yus
[04:48] <kruncher> no, i wanted to see if i could get help on the spot
[04:48] <goatmale> smarter people on fourms :)
[04:48] <farous> kruncher: did you man mount
[04:48] <kruncher> yeah...
[04:48] <farous> kruncher: you should put in the options ro,user
[04:49] <farous> kruncher: as described in the man
[04:49] <david_> I used to run mandrake linux and there was a gui grub editor for it, is there something like that for ubuntu?
[04:49] <farous> kruncher: i guess it should be rw,user

[04:51] <e4gl3> hey all
[04:51] <kruncher> it still sets the mount point as write owner which is root
[04:51] <e4gl3> anyone around to gimme a hand?
[04:51] <Goddy> hey some one tell me to ugrade to ubuntu 6 with a shipit Cd
[04:52] <JW> kruncher - sudo chown -R root:users /media/partition   , and then a chmod +rw so all users in the users group have read write access is the good way to do it
[04:52] <minerale> hi, how can I access my ubuntu pc from another computer? Can I just reconnect the gnome session (ala windows RDP style)... or do I have to install VNC ?
[04:52] <tuliomgui> Goddy: you can just click upgrade from the update manager
[04:52] <[Ex0r] > Goddy- Upgrade to ubuntu 6 with a shipit cd
[04:52] <tuliomgui> ive done it today, it is quite simple
[04:52] <Goddy> Tulio but that upgrades frm the net, I wanna upgrade through my CD
[04:52] <nomin> e4gl3: don't ask to ask, just ask.
[04:52] <Bison> Hey guys
[04:53] <Hexidigital> to whoever was helping me with my nic problem: all i had to do was set my server (192.268.0.2) as the default gateway, and everything works as it should
[04:53] <farous> kruncher: /dev/hda?       /mountpoint               ext3    rw, suid, dev, exec, auto,user,async 0  2
[04:53] <Bison> I'm trying to format at partition to Fat32, and its telling me that its busy or something
[04:53] <Goddy> Tulio but that upgrades frm the net, I wanna upgrade through my CD
[04:53] <e4gl3> ok. my problem is, i have alsa installed, i installed GNUsound but everytime i try to record it says no playback device, and when i changed it from oss to alsa all it does now is restart my whole gnome.
[04:53] <tuliomgui> Goddy: i dont know that, i upgraded from the net
[04:53] <nomin> Bison: you probably need to unmount it first
[04:53] <MiCCAS> hey all!!!
[04:54] <Bison> mount (no arguments) says that it is not mounted
[04:54] <odla> ok...i rebooted and this time my mouse couldn't click....i had to restart X for it to click
[04:54] <kruncher> i tried the chown and chmod and that worked, ill try the other one now
[04:54] <Goddy> i really get , whats the use of getting the shipit CD's when I dont know how to upgrade using it
[04:54] <JW> farous - I believer this will allow a user to mount, but wont give rw acces to all
[04:54] <tuliomgui> Goddy: good question
[04:54] <tuliomgui> did you put the cd in the driver?
[04:54] <bret> hi
[04:54] <Goddy> Thanks mate
[04:55] <farous> jw i gave it rw option so why not will not read and write
[04:55] <Bison> nomin: maybe it would be easier to use cli tools rather than gparted.  What can i use to format to Fat32
[04:55] <Goddy> i now need to install via CD, and remove those tick marks on the reformat options... lets see if that works
[04:55] <farous> JW: i would welcome also if you gave us the right syntax
[04:56] <ardchoille> farous: after you gave it rw perms, did you unmount and remount the drive?
[04:56] <MiCCAS> hey.. can we download the cover that the CDs come in??? And the CD label??
[04:56] <swoolley> anybody want to play with a cool new font?
[04:56] <JW> farous, the best coz of linux file permissions is what i explained above (chown chmod)$
[04:56] <MiCCAS> yes
[04:56] <swoolley> http://swoolley.org/files/swoolley-font2.png
[04:56] <farous> ardchoille: i was trying to help a user here :)
[04:56] <Bison> so anyone know what cli app i can use to format Fat32?
[04:56] <swoolley> the two versions are in the picture
[04:56] <davegoodson> Hi, why can't i zoom in, make windows transparent with XGL? It just doesn't work.
[04:56] <nomin> Bison: I'm not sure.  I usually do partitioning stuff when I'm redoing my whole system.  I've found that installing linux has few problems when it comes to partitioning.
[04:56] <ardchoille> farous: Ahh, sorry about that :)
[04:56] <JW> farous - so you keep in order with linux file permission rules
[04:56] <farous> JW: ok did not see your post though
[04:57] <farous> ardchoille: no prob :)
[04:57] <swoolley> http://swoolley.org/files/swoolley2.pcf.gz and swoolley5.pcf.gz
[04:57] <kazukisan> I have Dapper installed and have Opera Installed how do i get quicktime .mov files and rm or wmv Files to stream with it ?
[04:57] <Bison> nomin: what?  I do all of my partitioning in linux.  there are no good free (of cost) apps for windows
[04:57] <minerale> hi, how can I access my ubuntu pc from another computer? Can I just reconnect the gnome session (ala windows RDP style)... or do I have to install VNC ?
[04:57] <kruncher> farous: that line for /etc/fstab worked, thank you alot, now i have to figure out what that all means
[04:57] <odla> wow...vlc closes my dvd when i try to skip ahead...what's the deal with dvd support and my laptop?  i've never had a problem like this with any other distro or with breezy
[04:58] <farous> JW: linux file permission order? i am just a regular user jw
[04:58] <davegoodson> Hi, why can't i zoom in, make windows transparent with XGL? It just doesn't work.
[04:58] <e4gl4> beautiful time to get dc'd
[04:58] <e4gl4> ill start again.
[04:58] <Bison> minerale: check openssh
[04:58] <EtienneG> Bison : mkfs ?
[04:58] <MiCCAS> any1??
[04:58] <Bison> mkfs? i will check man
[04:58] <farous> JW: do you have a link to what you speak of?
[04:58] <snoops> minerale to reconnect to your current session from a windows box you'll need vnc.. to connect to new sessions and have it faster than rdp try freenx/nxclient
[04:58] <[Ex0r] > Bison- for gui based sessions? I don't think ssh will work.
[04:58] <EtienneG> as in : mkfs -t vfat /dev/hda3 (if /dev/hda3 is the partition you want to format)
[04:58] <nomin> Bison: I meant to say that partitioning with linux is easiest when it's done through an installion of a distro.  I've used gparted before but it didn't do things exactly the way I wanted it to.
[04:58] <kevinator> Bison: I think the filesystem type is refered to as vfat, not fat32.
[04:59] <snoops> davegoodson is compiz and xgl running?
[04:59] <e4gl4> Ok, i have dapper,    i installed GNUsound. when i goto start recording it says no playback device.. in the settings its looking for /dev/dsp but i dont have that any ideas on howto get it on there?!? pls?
[04:59] <davegoodson> yep
[04:59] <farous> kruncher: glad it worked :)
[04:59] <JW> farous - if you do it at mount time you force permissions. Its better to put the permissions on the filesystem
[04:59] <davegoodson> snoops: everything is running
[04:59] <goatmale> can anyone here help me with cedega cvs?
[04:59] <farous> JW: ok i understand now thanx
[04:59] <kruncher> or mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/hd&#
[04:59] <snoops> davegoodson okay, so you've got all the bling.. great.. got gset-compiz?
[05:00] <farous> kruncher: better go with JW way
[05:00] <MiCCAS> #vista
[05:00] <kruncher> farous JW?
[05:00] <davegoodson> snoops: command not found
[05:00] <davegoodson> snoops: or am i doing it wrong? :P
[05:00] <nomin> !microsoft
[05:00] <ubotu> I know nothing about microsoft - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[05:00] <farous> kruncher: chown on the mounted partition
[05:01] <kruncher> farous: whys that?
[05:01] <eugman> CAn someone please tell me what I have to set so I can not only hear my mic but record it?
[05:01] <snoops> davegoodson did you add the beerorkid repository for xgl and compiz? You should also install gset-compiz
[05:01] <farous> kruncher: i will leave JW to explain that to you. but i assume it is more reliable
[05:02] <kazukisan> I have Dapper installed and have Opera Installed how do i get quicktime .mov files and rm or wmv Files to stream with it ?
[05:02] <kruncher> but wouldnt fstab overwrite those permissions on the next mount if fstab is not set correctly?
[05:02] <e4gl4> gstreamer kazu
[05:02] <davegoodson> snoops: just checking
[05:03] <davegoodson> snoops: cant see anything by that name
[05:03] <farous> kazukisan: that is a problem and bug on opera forums. opera do not support mplayer plugin compiled with gtk. you have to recompile mplayer to have that
[05:03] <JW> kruncher- this way you do not force the permissions at mount time, but keep them on the filesystem (better/safer), also, the mount options for the different filesystems are not the same ; it will not work for all filesystems. The chown/chmod way always works, with any file system
[05:03] <e4gl4> on the ubuntu howto docs (online) theres a wicked howto
[05:03] <minerale> snoops: does freenx allow me to reconnect to my current session?
[05:03] <kevinator> eugman, in alsa has a setting for that.
[05:03] <caturOK> hello
[05:03] <caturOK> how do our do
[05:03] <caturOK> ;)
[05:03] <eugman> So what do I do?
[05:03] <kevinator> eugman, I'm looking now
[05:03] <kruncher> JW: so your saying that when i reboot it will reset the permissions becuase of fstab set to default?
[05:03] <e4gl4> can anyone help me with my prob?
[05:04] <caturOK> weh
[05:04] <JW> kruncher - no
[05:04] <minerale> what is the recomended vnc server for ubuntu ?
[05:04] <caturOK> can i talk about hotspot here
[05:04] <EtienneG> kazukisan, have you checked the Restric
[05:04] <MiCCAS> wtf??
[05:05] <farous> kruncher: lets assume your fstab is corrupted or you installed new linux dist. then you loose the permissions you set. doing it on the harddisk using chown will avoid this prob
[05:05] <EtienneG> oups, I mean https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats ?
[05:05] <e4gl4> ill ask a different way, what do i need to compile/install to get /dev/dsp on ma computer?
[05:05] <kevinator> eugman, I don't see it in the Gnome mixer under Breazy, but I think I have it in the Gnome mixer under Dapper at work.
[05:05] <sexy_hunk> ei!!!!
[05:05] <JW> kruncher - if you will use other filesystem (xfs,jfs, etc...) you will see that you cannot use the same fstab setting. chown/chmod always works.
[05:05] <orbin> !vnc > minerale
[05:05] <farous> e4gl4: it is a module that need to be loaded let me tell you which one is it
[05:06] <orbin> minerale: i see tightvnc mentioned a lot though
[05:06] <Xuis> Hello all, is there a tool for converting mp3 to ogg?
[05:06] <kevinator> eugman, In the mixer there is a mute button beneath each device, but I think Dapper has two. One should do what you want, I think.
[05:06] <kruncher> JW: so i just set my fstab args to default?
[05:06] <e4gl4> thanks farous :)
[05:06] <orbin> Xuis: yes, mp32ogg
[05:06] <eugman> right...
[05:06] <JW> kruncher - yes, so you keep consistnet with linux "security"
[05:06] <JW> kruncher consistent
[05:07] <farous> e4gl4: you need to lod snd_pcm_oss module
[05:07] <NightwishFreak> hello everyone! =D
[05:07] <farous> e4gl4: try ls /dev/dsp first
[05:07] <JW> ok, cu later guys :)
[05:07] <e4gl4> thanks mate :P
[05:07] <e4gl4> ill try that now
[05:07] <farous> :)
[05:08] <farous> take care JW
[05:08] <JW> farous - u2
[05:08] <weex> is anyone familiar with truecrypt? is there a way I can create an icon that lets me log into the data store and have it ask me for an icon?
[05:08] <e4gl4> farous.. doesnt exist :P
[05:08] <e4gl4> ahh yes it is there
[05:08] <Xuis> orbin thank you, sorry I am a noob but this is just code to me, do I need to compile it or is there a pkg already together?
[05:08] <kruncher> JW: the chmod +rw doesnt work, i have to use chmod 777, is that correct?
[05:08] <e4gl4> that makes it worse.. that just means it isnt working
[05:09] <orbin> Xuis: sorry, mp32ogg is a package.  it's in universe
[05:09] <farous> e4gl4: sudo modprobe snd_mixer_oss
[05:09] <orbin> Xuis: use synaptic or any apt tool to install it
[05:09] <farous> e4gl4: sudo modprobe snd_pcm_oss
[05:10] <e4gl4> i did that nothing happened :P
[05:10] <Xuis> orbin Yikes lol 1st night in linux so alot of them makes no sense to me...guess I need to do a bit more reading :)
[05:10] <farous> e4gl4: no try lsmod and see if they are loaded
[05:10] <e4gl4> ok
[05:10] <orbin> Xuis: no worries. do you know about synaptic and the package repositories?
[05:10] <e4gl4> lsmod snd_mixer_oss?
[05:11] <farous> e4gl4: lsmod |grep snd
[05:11] <Xuis> orbin hmm sort of, under add remove?
[05:11] <andy->  Xuis click System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager
[05:11] <e4gl4> yeh its listed in that
[05:11] <farous> look for bot snd_mixer_oss and snd_pcm_oss
[05:11] <Xuis> awesome thanks, checking
[05:11] <e4gl4> bot?
[05:11] <SuperCouilles> I need help setting up a VNC server - I get a grey screen and a black X. Anyone to help?
[05:12] <e4gl4> both?
[05:12] <farous> both sorry i have a really bad cold here
[05:12] <andy-> Xuis, then click Settings > Repositories, and check all of them on.
[05:12] <e4gl4> they are both in
[05:12] <farous> can barely concentrate
[05:12] <farous> e4gl4: ok now try ls /dev/dsp
[05:12] <kevinator> eugman, I think the two settings I'm thinking of are called "mute" and "capture". One controls whether the mic is heard constantly and one controls if it can be used as an audio source. I might be wrong about this though. I can't really test it right now.
[05:12] <andy-> Xuis, Then click Close, and reload the new packages.
[05:12] <e4gl4> yeh i have it now
[05:12] <eugman> k
[05:12] <Bonez> bbq
[05:12] <farous> ok
[05:12] <e4gl4> but the prog still not running
[05:13] <andy-> Then just 'search' for whatever you need Xuis.
[05:13] <davegoodson> i have gset-compiz installed, so how do i get Zoom and Transparency working?
[05:13] <e4gl4> "cant open playback device"
[05:13] <farous> e4gl4: add both modules to your /etc/modules so they are loaded next time you start ubuntu
[05:13] <e4gl4> ok
[05:13] <Xuis> This is under synaptic package manager?
[05:13] <bobovski> hi all
[05:13] <farous> e4gl4: close the prog and open it again.cloose any other program using the sound then reuse it
[05:13] <bobovski> quick question
[05:13] <kruncher> JW: thank you for the help. It wasnt the answer I was looking for (as I figured it would be easier to keep it in fstab), but it is alot easier your way.
[05:14] <orbin> Xuis: yes
[05:14] <kevinator> Does anyone know why "mount" doesn't show any swap partitions, even though a partition exists and is listed in /etc/fstab?
[05:14] <bobovski> When I'm using the toem-xine plugin in firefox, and afterward try to view something with the flash plugin (like youtube), there is no sound. Sound returns if I restart firefox
[05:14] <bobovski> how can I get totem-xine plugin to let go of the sound?
[05:15] <kevinator> Good question, bobovski. I've had similar problems.
[05:15] <farous> bobovski: killall totem
[05:15] <bobovski> kevinator: it's just enough to be annoying, you know?
[05:15] <kevinator> bobovski, I've heard of something called dmix that I think is supposed to allow sharing of the audio device.
[05:15] <orbin> Xuis: basically you need to enable extra repositories so you can get mroe packages than what was available off the cd: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
[05:15] <bobovski> farous, yeah that would stop me from having to restart firefox, but why can't they share the sound module?
[05:16] <kevinator> bobovski, I've been told it's a limitation of some sound drivers,
[05:16] <Jack_Sparrow> bobovski:  alsa
[05:16] <bobovski> kevinator: I'll check it out, right now I'm using alsamixer
[05:16] <inheart> i need linux-source ,where is it???
[05:17] <farous> bobovski: flash use oss the old sound system and it need exclusive rights to your sound device. totem use alsa which is the new sound system that can have virtual sound mixing
[05:17] <e4gl4> farous when u said close progs using sound does that include gaim?
[05:17] <e4gl4> :)
[05:17] <farous> bobovski: there is a wrapper you can use in alsa-oss package
[05:17] <bobovski> what's a wrapper?
[05:17] <farous>  bobovski so just install it and run aoss firefox and you wil have mixing
[05:17] <inheart> i need linux-source ,where is it???  who can help me
[05:17] <bobovski> ok, let me give it a go
[05:17] <inheart> thanx
[05:17] <Xuis> Ok I checked them all and reloaded them...sorry now where do I find mp3ogg?
[05:18] <farous> e4gl4: if it is using your sound card
[05:18] <inheart> i need linux-source ,where is it???  who can help me????????
[05:18] <orbin> Xuis: click on the search button, then type in mp32ogg
[05:18] <e4gl4> fok
[05:18] <andy-> Xuis, in that same window, click Search, and look for whatever you need.
[05:18] <farous> bobovski: supposadly the new flash will use alsa an this problem will be down the drains
[05:18] <kevinator> farous, apt-cache search linux-source?
[05:18] <e4gl4> iokies brb
[05:18] <orbin> inheart: source or headers?
[05:18] <bobovski> farous: do I need to aoss firefox every time, or just once?
[05:18] <inheart> source
[05:18] <Xuis> cool, k it found it, now what :)
[05:18] <farous> kevinator: ?
[05:19] <kevinator> Oops, I meant inheart, not farous. sorry
[05:19] <orbin> inheart: yes, kevinator answered your question
[05:19] <andy-> Xuis, mark it for installation by clicking the listtle box next to the name, then click Apply in main window, it'll download and install the packages you marked.
[05:19] <farous> bobovski: you can put it in .mozilla/mozilla.firefoxrc
[05:19] <inheart> thanx,i try
[05:19] <sephrenia> i need to install something with wine, but it doesn't work
[05:20] <Ruffles> hi there. i'd like to know wheter or not it's possible to enlarge my reiserFS / partition
[05:20] <farous> bobovski: try it first see if you like it and i will give the instructions for it to be done auto
[05:20] <Ruffles> anyone?
[05:20] <bobovski> farous: hm, ok great
[05:20] <farous> kevinator: no prob :)
[05:20] <bobovski> ok, cool let me see if it works
[05:20] <bobovski> farous: yep, works
[05:20] <kevinator> OK, I'm gonna try my question again:
[05:20] <kevinator> Does anyone know why "mount" doesn't show any swap partitions, even though a partition exists and is listed in /etc/fstab?
[05:20] <Steph14> Anyone know where Knode is on the menu system? (KDE 3.5)
[05:20] <rooter> How can I see a list of partition on my hd??
[05:20] <farous> bobovski: ok now open your .mozilla dir
[05:21] <IcemanV9> rooter: sudo fdisk -l
[05:21] <bobovski> farous is that in my home dir or in the installation dir?
[05:21] <farous> bobovski: yes but it i hidden
[05:21] <orbin> rooter: or sys > admin > disks
[05:21] <bobovski> farous in the home dir then?
[05:21] <kevinator> your home dir, bobovski
[05:21] <bobovski> ok
[05:21] <farous> bobovski: yap
[05:21] <rooter> orbin, i'm logged in as root on that machine and that doesn't seem to exist
[05:21] <bobovski> ok, there
[05:22] <farous> bobovski: see if you have mozilla-firefoxrc file
[05:22] <bobovski> ls
[05:22] <bobovski> oops
[05:22] <Ruffles> is it possible to resize a reiserFS partition using gparted or qtparted?
[05:22] <bobovski> in .mozilla I have a firefox dir, in that dir I don't have that file
[05:22] <dr_willis> Ruffles,  i think theres some limits to it.. but i think it can be done.
[05:22] <orbin> rooter: not sure.  never had the need or want to log in as root
[05:22] <TokenBad> how do I mount a linux partition?
[05:23] <dr_willis> !mount
[05:23] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted  -  Formatting partitions: see the manual page for mkfs ("man mkfs")  -  Mounting partitions in Gnome: System -> Administration -> Disks
[05:23] <spiderworm> ok geniuses, I have this long-standing problem I want to fix now.... tty1 through tty6 are pure black.  I can tell it responds to keyboard input... I can log in and, for example, reboot the computer... i just cant see anything
[05:23] <Ruffles> dr_willis, and what would it be these limits?
[05:23] <spiderworm> anyone have any ideas?
[05:23] <farous> bobovski: no problem gedit mozilla-firefoxrc
[05:23] <e4gl3> hmm
[05:23] <TokenBad> I am in kubuntu
[05:23] <farous> bobovski: this will create the file
[05:23] <spiderworm> maybe the font color is black for some reason?
[05:23] <e4gl3> still no good
[05:23] <bobovski> farous in the firefox subdir?
[05:23] <inheart> inheart, hi
[05:23] <dr_willis> Ruffles,  that would be what you should go read about at the parted web site. :P sunce I got no clue.
[05:23] <inheart> inheart:hi
[05:23] <b_nine> will someone point me to a website that tells me how to setup a vncserver in ubuntu?
[05:23] <farous> bobovski: nope in the .mozilla dir
[05:23] <e4gl3> still wont work...
[05:23] <Ruffles> lol
[05:23] <dr_willis> b_nine,  depends on what you want to do wth the vncserver. :)
[05:23] <farous> e4gl3: what prog are you using
[05:23] <e4gl3> should i be using oss or alsa?
[05:23] <Xuis> orbin sorry mate not sure what box you want me to check to mark it before I click apply?
what is the mean of oops?
[05:24] <Ruffles> dr_willis, thanks dude
[05:24] <bobovski> ok
[05:24] <bobovski> all set
[05:24] <e4gl3> trying to use gnusound
[05:24] <dr_willis> Ruffles,  i THINK it may be 'expand only' not shrink.
[05:24] <Paddy_EIRE> how can i view what my Ati cards settings are
[05:24] <b_nine> just going to have remote access to my desktop through ssh
[05:24] <rooter> orbin, i know what you mean - this is a friends computer and he insists that he would rather give me the root password than tell me his own - or make an account for me
[05:24] <farous> bobovski: ok now put this line in the file then close it
[05:24] <dr_willis> b_nine,  apt-get install vncserver, then run vncserver, you may alwo want tor ead the vncserver docs, and the vncserver script.
[05:24] <b_nine> just going to have remote access to my desktop through ssh, dr_willis
[05:24] <farous> bobovski: FIREFOX_DSP="aoss"
[05:24] <rooter> thanks all
[05:24] <orbin> Xuis: there should be a checkbox next to the package name.  i usually just right-click then mark for install
[05:24] <b_nine> had one setup under fedora
[05:25] <SuperMiguel> use rdesktop
[05:25] <Ruffles> dr_willis, just wanna take some space from hda5 (fat32), about 2gb and put it into hda6 (reiserFS) as well as take about 200mb from hda6 and put it into hda7 (swap)
[05:25] <b_nine> trying ubuntu out, thanks
[05:25] <dr_willis> b_nine,  now viewing the same desktop locally/remotely is different then just sshing in and running vncserver.
[05:25] <farous> e4gl3: what program are you trying to use
[05:25] <farous> e4gl3: and you should use alsa
[05:25] <e4gl3> farous : GNUsound
[05:25] <orbin> inheart: ?
[05:25] <inheart> orbin:what the means of oops?
[05:25] <bobovski> farous: ok, great. how do I test it
[05:25] <orbin> inheart: means whoever said that made a mistake
[05:25] <e4gl3> ok when i use alsa it crashes gnome-panel
[05:25] <SuperMiguel> does any one know how to print to a windows printer from linux?
[05:25] <farous> gnusound never used it. does it use alsa if so use it
[05:25] <e4gl3> ahhah
[05:26] <dr_willis> SuperMiguel,  share it under windows.. and run that gnome print tool and tell it to use it.
[05:26] <inheart> orbin:but i want to get the source of 6.06
[05:26] <SuperMiguel> gnome print tool
[05:26] <farous> bobovski: try watching a movie in firefox while listening to musing on totem for ex
[05:26] <SuperMiguel> how do i find that
[05:26] <e4gl3> now it says..cannot record because region is locked (recording)
[05:26] <dr_willis> its in the menus :) look for it.
[05:26] <Xuis> orbin, it put the mp3ogg on the left side of the package manager under the word all, I don't see any box to check and right click does nothing, so what did I do wrong lol
[05:26] <orbin> rooter: then tell him to access the disks util when he's logged in or just use fdisk as IcemanV9 suggested
[05:26] <inheart> orbin:how and where i can get it ?thanks
[05:26] <b_nine> dr_willis, Package vncserver is not available, but is referred to by another package.  This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source
[05:26] <Ruffles> SuperMiguel, enable unix printer services under winxp
[05:26] <e4gl3> so i have to change /dev/dsp chmods?
[05:26] <bobovski> farous: sounds good. thatnks for all of your help!
[05:27] <dr_willis> b_nine,  or you need to update your sources, or include multiverse/universe...
[05:27] <dr_willis> !easysource
[05:27] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[05:27] <SuperMiguel> i did
[05:27] <bobovski> I've just devoted this entire machine to ubuntu after a week trial
[05:27] <kevinator> Yeah, thanks farous. I'm gonna try that on my work computer
[05:27] <SuperMiguel> but when i try to print
[05:27] <orbin> inheart: sudo aptitude install linux-source
[05:27] <bobovski> things are pretty easy to configure, that's what won me over. that was a piece of cake
[05:27] <Ruffles> dr_willis, i know you ain't asked me but x11vnc is a nice vnc server and it uses your current session
[05:27] <administor> hi
[05:27] <davegoodson> how do i make XGL zoom in using the Scroll wheel???
[05:27] <farous> bobovski: :)
[05:27] <inheart> orbin:i try to do it ,but all apt source can get it
[05:27] <dr_willis> Ruffles,  i never want to share my current session. :P i want  sessions running 'hidden' and always running.
[05:28] <zymorph> sackuhjaweea
[05:28] <e4gl3> farous?
[05:28] <orbin> inheart: next time do a package search as someone suggested
[05:28] <bobovski> are there any pitfalls to look out for?
[05:28] <SuperMiguel> it sended to windows but it just frezze the process and dont print
[05:28] <RadiantFire> anyone like the tightvnc is fun
[05:28] <Ruffles> dr_willis, oh yah ic
[05:28] <farous> e4gl3: give me a min
[05:28] <dr_willis> Ruffles,  i also got it set where i can vnc in and it auto-spawns a session that gives me a GDM login. :)
[05:28] <e4gl3> okies sorry man
[05:28] <e4gl3> LO
[05:28] <orbin> Xuis: it's mp32ogg nt mp3ogg
[05:28] <bobovski> This is the first linux distro I've used that I've not had a real problem configuring yet
[05:28] <bobovski> and that goes back many a year
[05:28] <e4gl3> didnt know if u saw what i wrote
[05:28] <Ruffles> dr_willis, mmm that looks interesting
[05:28] <Ruffles> never tried that though
[05:28] <orbin> Xuis: next time just do a descriptiotn serach for mp3 and convert and it should give you some sugestions
[05:28] <inheart> orbin: i mean i can not find the package all the way?  .....
[05:29] <bobovski> guess I'm asking, does ubuntu have any "quirks" I should look out for
[05:29] <dr_willis> Ruffles,  :) its a neat trick i learned how to do a long time ago with vnc.
[05:29] <Xuis> orbin oh crap lol...sorry mate been a long day, after working on windows servers all day I am have a ton of fun on linux

[05:31] <davegoodson> how do i make XGL zoom in using the Scroll wheel???
[05:31] <farous> bobovski: you can put it in another place for all of them can not remember it now but could be /usr/lib/firefox/

[05:41] <e4gl3> no no i can listen to music.
[05:41] <e4gl3> i cant record.
[05:42] <farous> e4gl3: ok are you sure your mic is on and that it is set to use oss
[05:42] <KnowledgEngi> how can'i enable the coockies ????
[05:42] <e4gl3> nope :P
[05:42] <e4gl3> lol
[05:42] <e4gl3> but i think so
[05:42] <snooplsm> hey folk
[05:42] <farous> e4gl3: by the way /dev/dsp is for listening
[05:42] <KnowledgEngi> firefox cannot make the login
[05:42] <uniscript> crimsun: Sorry to be thick, but does making such a dependency trigger a reinstall when x11-common updates?
[05:43] <Ruffles> ArthurBrazil, iae mano blz? tu eh de onde?
[05:43] <farous> e4gl3: did not play a lot with recording ask crimsun he is the sound wiz here
[05:43] <KnowledgEngi> becouse this site require coockies enabled
[05:43] <SuperMiguel> when i try to print from linux i can see the proceess on the windows printer manager but it doesnt print it just stay there and dont print
[05:43] <SuperMiguel> any ideas???
[05:43] <KnowledgEngi> i have installed now ubuntu alternate
[05:43] <crimsun> uniscript: no, it just means that that directory doesn't go away without your package being removed.
[05:43] <Ruffles> SuperMiguel, have you installed the XP drivers in your linux box?
[05:43] <crimsun> uniscript: provided you use proper packages, of course
[05:43] <SuperMiguel> nope
[05:44] <SuperMiguel> how can i do that
[05:44] <Ruffles> SuperMiguel, that MIGHT be the problem..
[05:44] <Ruffles> i'm not sure
[05:44] <farous> crimsun: which module have to be loaded for sound recording. and can we select alsa for sound recording or has it be oss
[05:44] <marshall_> hey guys
[05:44] <SuperMiguel> do you have any idea?
[05:44] <uniscript> crimsun: of course. So holding the directory means that my file stays, and everything else just repopulates with its stuff as before. Clever
[05:44] <Ruffles> SuperMiguel, and also try to enable unix printer services
[05:44] <marshall_> does anybody know how to copy a dvd movie from one drive to the other?
[05:44] <SuperMiguel> i did that
[05:44] <Ruffles> SuperMiguel, you can do so at add/remove windows components
[05:44] <e4gl3> hmm just keeps crashing gnome
[05:44] <farous> e4gl3: did not play a lot with recording ask crimsun he is the sound wiz here
[05:44] <SuperMiguel> i did that
[05:45] <crimsun> farous: nothing special/extra has to be loaded for alsa; to use alsa's oss emulation, snd_pcm_oss.ko has to be loaded.
[05:45] <SuperMiguel> do i have to do anything else
[05:45] <spiderworm> ubotu: nvidia
[05:45] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:45] <e4gl3> yeh it is loaded.. :S
[05:45] <derek> hi guys,  who know how to install a management  tools for mouse theme?
[05:45] <crimsun> e4gl3: does it crash if you bypass dmix?
[05:45] <SuperMiguel> beside intall that
[05:45] <SuperMiguel> ?
[05:45] <derek> hi guys,  who know how to install a management  tools for mouse theme?
[05:45] <e4gl3> bypass?
[05:45] <e4gl3> how i do that?
[05:46] <monkievox> howdy all!  ubuntu just finished installing, so i reboot back into windows and am using partition magic to look at how it installed into largest available space ... ubuntu decided to put the SWAP part together with a large NTFS part inside an extended part.  rekon i'll have any problems with that?
[05:46] <Ruffles> SuperMiguel, do you speak portuguese or spanish? i might help u better in these langs
[05:46] <SuperMiguel> spanish xD
[05:46] <_FlUiD_> people, how can i change the splash screen of ubuntu?
[05:46] <uniscript> monkievox: only if you want to boot directly off either of the partitions
[05:46] <Ruffles> _FlUiD_, gnome configuration editor
[05:46] <SuperMiguel> ruffles tienes msn
[05:46] <SuperMiguel> asi hablamos mejor
[05:46] <marshall_> does anybody know how yo copy a dvd?
[05:46] <monkievox> uniscript: nope. i guess i'
[05:46] <monkievox> m fine then
[05:46] <crimsun> e4gl3: well test if the direct method works: ``arecord -fwav -Dplughw:0 /dev/null''
[05:47] <uniscript> monkievox: that would be my guess
[05:47] <_FlUiD_> Ruffles: the splash screen where the progress bar is located?
[05:47] <crimsun> e4gl3: if that works, then it's a dsnoop problem
[05:47] <Ruffles> SuperMiguel, dame el suyo
[05:47] <SuperMiguel> miguelv06@gmail.com
[05:47] <Ruffles> _FlUiD_, i meant the gdm's spalsh screen
[05:47] <_FlUiD_> Ruffles: not the logon screen
[05:47] <derek> hi guys,  who know how to install a management  tools for mouse theme?
[05:47] <monkievox> thanks all!  goodnight
[05:47] <e4gl3> wrong extended formate wav
[05:47] <Ruffles> _FlUiD_, to change that spash screen u gotta compile your kernel again
[05:48] <crimsun> e4gl3: then drop -fwav
[05:48] <snooplsm> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18904    can someone help me fix this error <--
[05:48] <e4gl3> ok
[05:48] <_FlUiD_> Ruffles: right, thanks
[05:48] <Ruffles> SuperMiguel, dame su msn
[05:48] <orbin> Ruffles: he does?
[05:48] <Ruffles> orbin, does what?
[05:48] <e4gl3> yeh that runs without crashing
[05:48] <derek> hi guys,  who know how to install a management  tools for mouse theme?
[05:48] <orbin> i thought you just change the usplash graphic file
[05:48] <e4gl3> so what i do to fix dsnoop?
[05:48] <Ruffles> nope
[05:48] <xed> So.. is there any way to apt-get Opera Internet browser in Xubuntu?
[05:48] <snooplsm> e4gl3, explain that error
[05:48] <SuperMiguel> es
[05:48] <Ruffles> to change your kernel's splash screen u gotta recompile the kernel
[05:48] <Ruffles> i think/
[05:48] <SuperMiguel> miguelv06@gmail.com
[05:49] <e4gl3> i didnt get an error when i took off the -fwav
[05:49] <e4gl3> eagle@e4gl3:~$ ``arecord -Dplughw:0 /dev/null''
[05:49] <e4gl3> Recording WAVE '/dev/null' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono
[05:49] <orbin> _FlUiD_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/USplashCustomizationHowto
[05:49] <orbin> no kernel recompile there afaict
[05:49] <orbin> there's another page somewhere.  i'll look for it
[05:50] <snooplsm> e4gl3: you talkin to me?
[05:50] <e4gl3> im talking to whoever wants to know
[05:50] <e4gl3> :)
[05:50] <snooplsm> idid try -f and no dice
[05:50] <Geoffrey3> orbin, ok, and dpkg installs w32codecs then?
[05:51] <orbin> Geoffrey2: cd into the dir where firefox saved it, then use the dpkg command, yes.
[05:51] <e4gl3> this is getting frustrating :)
[05:51] <Geoffrey2> orbin, does w32codecs support .ra?
[05:52] <_FlUiD_> orbin: the link is dead
[05:52] <orbin> Geoffrey2: i think it does, yes
[05:52] <orbin> _FlUiD_: what do you mean?  it should redirect you here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto
[05:52] <farous> Geoffrey2: it support realplay 9 i think for newer install realplay
[05:53] <uniscript> crimsun: sorry to come back again, but I notice that it is the xinit module that creates /etc/X11/Xsession.d so I should be dependent on that or do you still recommend x11-common?
[05:53] <orbin> _FlUiD_: found the page that i used a while back: http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Change_Usplash
[05:54] <Geoffrey2> farous, hmmm, Totem is saying it can't play ALFALT-1.ra because it couldn't determine the type of stream
[05:54] <mnp> is there a way i can right a script so that my computer loads programs to different workspaces automatically, each time i boot?
[05:54] <orbin> Geoffrey2: you need totem-xine
[05:54] <qwertybob> hi, i cant boot ubuntu. error ..target filesystem doesnt have /sbin/init
[05:54] <mnp> that is, write a script to lauch a terminal in workspace 1, email and irc in workspace 2, mozilla in 3, etc...?
[05:54] <e4gl3> god knows
[05:54] <orbin> Geoffrey2: if you haven't got it yet
[05:54] <e4gl3> im just trying complete remove.
[05:54] <Geoffrey2> is that in the repos?
[05:54] <qwertybob> i got 2 hard drives btw
[05:54] <e4gl3> and reinstall
[05:55] <qwertybob> ive been trying to install ubuntu on this box for ages
[05:55] <farous> e4gl3: do not do that
[05:55] <farous> e4gl3: before you do this try adding a new user
[05:55] <_FlUiD_> orbin: got it
[05:55] <e4gl3> just of the gnusound
[05:55] <e4gl3> :)
[05:55] <_FlUiD_> thanks
[05:55] <farous> e4gl3: give him all the permissions then login using his name and try
[05:56] <orbin> Geoffrey2: yes
[05:56] <tich> does anyone know a good pdf viewer or what the default pdf viewer for ubuntu is?
[05:56] <orbin> Geoffrey2: it replaces the default totem-gstreamer app
[05:56] <orbin> tich: evince, evince.
[05:56] <IcemanV9> tich: evince
[05:57] <e4gl3> doh
[05:57] <farous> tich: it is evince the default pdf viewer. the best i used so far is acroread. adobe acrobat
[05:57] <e4gl3> crashed it again
[05:57] <tich> evince it is then. thanks.
[05:57] <Xuis> Hey orbin, I am running edna streaming server on a win2k3 server, I can't seem to get XMMS or any other media player to stream from this server, if I copy and paste the mp3 it works with XMMS, is there a codec I need?
[05:58] <e4gl3> meh im gonna give up in a min
[05:58] <farous> e4gl3: it might be a setting in your home dir. just add another user and login in his name
[05:58] <e4gl3> ok
[05:58] <farous> e4gl3: do not forget to give him all the rights you need
[05:58] <orbin> Xuis: so xmms can stream it?  what other apps have you tried?
[05:58] <farous> e4gl3: add him to the admin group
[05:59] <e4gl3> well i might not have the rights?
[05:59] <e4gl3> or do i?
[05:59] <Xuis> Real player 10
[05:59] <e4gl3> how do i find out
[05:59] <e4gl3> ?
[05:59] <farous> e4gl3: you can always check system>admin>users and groups
[06:00] <orbin> Xuis: it's a rm stream?
[06:00] <crimsun> uniscript: no, it's x11-common.
[06:00] <Xuis> rm stream? not sure what rm means?
[06:00] <Hexidigital_> is there a good benchmark for RAM?
[06:00] <orbin> Xuis: realmedia
[06:01] <Geoffrey2> orbin, thanks...
[06:01] <uniscript> crimsun: may I ask why?
[06:01] <e4gl3> so i change it from group eagle - admin?
[06:01] <robbrown> guys what does it mean when configure errors: c ompiler cannot create executables...?
[06:01] <orbin> Geoffrey2: worked?
[06:01] <crimsun> uniscript: here's why: all the X Window System packages Pre-Depend on a strict version of x11-common. xinit Depends on libx11-6, which in turn Pre-Depends on the strict x11-common.
[06:01] <farous> e4gl3: nope just add anohter user and put him in admin group
[06:01] <e4gl3> ok
[06:01] <robbrown> i mean "C compiler"
[06:02] <crimsun> uniscript: feel free to verify via apt-cache depends and apt-cache show
[06:02] <yoshiznit123> hey everyone, is there a way to make gnome-terminal and other pango/freetype based apps to use fixed fonts like -misc-fixed-... ?
[06:02] <orbin> robbrown: do you have build-essential installed? and what are you installing?
[06:02] <robbrown> orbin: i'm trying to compile something, source is the only thing available...
[06:02] <Xuis> Oh I dont believe so, Edna is the streaming server which uses python..so it serves up a webpage with a all the mp3's. In windows you just click and Windows media player or whatever media play you want starts playing
[06:02] <robbrown> brb
[06:02] <e4gl3> so now i just log in with that account and try again?>
[06:03] <farous> e4gl3: good luck
[06:03] <orbin> robbrown: right, just checking.  what about build-essential?
[06:03] <Geoffrey2> orbin, at least the .ra is, I haven't tried the .wma or .wmv yet
[06:03] <e4gl3> okies
[06:03] <e4gl3> cyas shortly :P
[06:03] <robbrown> orbin: checking now.... all i installed were the things it needed and gcc
[06:03] <KnowledgEngi> i have installed ubuntu alternative
[06:03] <crimsun> uniscript: here, I can walk you through it.
[06:03] <KnowledgEngi> if i reboot with the cd and i try to install the server
[06:04] <KnowledgEngi> selecting: "install server"
[06:04] <uniscript> crimsun: that's very kind
[06:04] <KnowledgEngi> the current installation will be overwrite ???
[06:04] <KnowledgEngi> or just add the server ?
[06:04] <Geoffrey2> orbin, I decided a "legal" .wmv player was about as likely as as Microsoft admitting Windows ME was a really bad idea
[06:04] <crimsun> uniscript: look at the output from ``apt-cache depends x11-common xinit |grep Depends''
[06:05] <orbin> Geoffrey2: lol
[06:05] <robbrown> orbin: wasn't installed ^-^ installing now
[06:05] <orbin> righto
[06:05] <crimsun> uniscript: notice how x11-common does not depend on any X Window System libs, whereas xinit does
[06:05] <robbrown> orbin: just when you feel confident enough to take the training wheels off you stuff up :)
[06:05] <fausto_> Hello. I have a question.
[06:06] <Geoffrey2> what IS irritating is Adobe's apparent unwillingness to support Flash on Linux any longer
[06:06] <commctrl> Geoffrey2, flash 9 will be on linux
[06:06] <robbrown> Geoffre2: do you read the penguinb.swf blog?
[06:06] <kruncher> OK, randomly my mp3 codec stopped working in dapper (ubuntu), was there an update that broke that?
[06:06] <crimsun> uniscript: therefore it's a process of tracing the Depends on the lib dependencies for xinit
[06:06] <uniscript> crimsun: OK but how does that protect /etc/X11/Xsession.d?
[06:06] <fausto_> I have installed Ubuntu on my computer .. it is my only OS now but I have an old logical partition that I used to use in windows to store data. I can access it by going to disks and changing the access path to any folder I want on the desktop but I want it to show up automatically on boot.
[06:07] <robbrown> orbin: thanks for the pointer mate :D
[06:07] <robbrown> orbin: all seems well now
[06:07] <kruncher> everytime i try to play MP3s it says "there is no plugin to handle this movie." and it worked yesterday or the day before
[06:07] <spiderworm> ubotu: nvidia
[06:07] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:07] <Geoffrey2> commctrl, well Flash 9 is out, so I hope the Linux version is coming out soon...it gets tiring going to websites and being told I don't have flash installed when I do...just an obsolete version
[06:07] <fausto_> And even then, I don't have write access to the partition
[06:07] <orbin> robbrown: yw
[06:07] <crimsun> uniscript: what do you mean by "protect"? Of course if a sysadmin executes ``rm -rf /etc/X11/Xsession.d'', there's nothing that can really be done.
[06:07] <orbin> kruncher: what player?
[06:08] <uniscript> crimsun: given, but protected from being deleted when x11-common updates
[06:08] <kruncher> orbin: every player, totem and amarok
[06:08] <e4gl3> nice 1 that worked.
[06:08] <e4gl3> so now can i add my group to dsp so it works for this account as well?
[06:08] <uniscript> crimsun: or should that be when xinit updates
[06:08] <Geoffrey2> robbrown, I'll answer that by saying I have no idea what that blog is :)
[06:08] <farous> e4gl3: it might are you in the audio and sound group
[06:08] <farous> ?
[06:09] <e4gl3> i dont know :P
[06:09] <e4gl3> how i check?
[06:09] <crimsun> uniscript: dpkg doesn't remove non-empty directories, and it does not permit one package to remove files (and/or directories, which are just files, of course) owned by another package.
[06:09] <farous> e4gl3: it might also be one of the setting you played with ?
[06:09] <farous> e4gl3: system>admin>users and groups
[06:09] <e4gl3> i dont think ive played with anything
[06:09] <farous> e4gl3: or just type groups in a terminal
[06:09] <uniscript> crimsun: out of interest how does it track file ownership like that? Is there a database somewhere?
[06:09] <e4gl3> im in my own group
[06:10] <crimsun> uniscript: see /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list
[06:10] <farous> ok det it through the system >admin way then
[06:10] <chiman> how to get NRTG work in UBuntu?
[06:10] <chiman> MRTG
[06:11] <e4gl3> hmmm i dont know
[06:11] <uniscript> crimsun: aha: lights go on :) Thanks
[06:11] <crimsun> e4gl3: sorry, was assisting others.
[06:11] <crimsun> uniscript: np
[06:11] <e4gl3> main group - eagle
[06:11] <e4gl3> not admin
[06:11] <chiman> each time i try to make config file using cfgmaker, i keep getting an error
[06:11] <kruncher> Oddly enough, if i run amarok or some other sudio app as root (in a terminal) everything works
[06:11] <e4gl3> i set the other 1 to admin and it worked straight away
[06:11] <thompa> i cant seem to boot ubuntu, error .. target filesystem doesnt have /sbin/init...
[06:11] <e4gl3> can i chown /dev/dsp or something?
[06:11] <kruncher> so that leads me to belive something in my home dir is messed up, but what?
[06:12] <farous> e4gl3: set yourself in admin too. do not play with ownerships especially for devices
[06:13] <crimsun> e4gl3: you can, yes, but that's a udev issue then.
[06:13] <thompa> i heard there is maybe a bug in udev, is there some way to upgrade in knoppix
[06:13] <whitesuit> hi, anyone have the nvidia bug where everything freezes but your mouse continues to move?
[06:13] <e4gl3> ok will setting myself in admin cause any security issues?
[06:14] <farous> crimsun: he added a new user and have no problem using the sound device from the newuser account. so it is some setting in his home folder or some group he needs to be member in
[06:14] <chiman> helloo.. anyone here ever used MRTG in Ubuntu?
[06:15] <kruncher> i just tried creating an account and testing mp3 playback in there too, it worked
[06:15] <kruncher> so what can i do to get mp3 playback to work in my account agaain
[06:15] <dribble> has anybody gotten azureus to function --properly--?  i'm using sun's JRE (1.5).  Can't close the little error-boxes that pop up.
[06:16] <crimsun> farous: right, is that user in the audio group?
[06:17] <farous> crimsun: i told him to add himself in the audio and sound group but i think he doesnot know how
[06:17] <eggzeck> kruncher, what are you talking about? What "account"?
[06:17] <farous> crimsun: so just adding himself to the admin group should do it i hope. the admin group automatically put him the sudoers group right
[06:18] <kruncher> eggzeck: all the sudden mp3 wouldnt play in my account, i tried it as root (from a terminal) and it worked, i created a new account and that worked. so that pretty much means something is scrwed up in my profile right?
[06:18] <crimsun> farous: right RE: sudo, but it doesn't automatically grant him access for audio
[06:18] <crimsun> (obviously being in %admin allows his user to add himself to %audio)
[06:18] <farous> crimsun: ok will have to wait till he return for it seems his sys crached again
[06:18] <mikebot> can someone help me with dsl on ubuntu
[06:18] <mikebot> ?
[06:19] <Frederick> folks does ubuntu has any command to auto-configure internet acess?
[06:19] <eggzeck> farous, I'm not sure of the whole story, but 'visudo' is used to add sudoers :)
[06:19] <e4gl3> hmm still crashes
[06:19] <e4gl3> lol
[06:19] <nomasteryoda> mikebot, trying to get connected?
[06:19] <mikebot> nomasteryoda: yes
[06:19] <farous> eggzeck: thanx :) though ws not the solution but thanx
[06:19] <mikebot> nomasteryoda: do you know how to configure dsl?
[06:20] <eggzeck> farous, np, that's why I said I didn't know the entire story :)
[06:20] <eggzeck> kruncher, What does it say when you attempt to play mp3?
[06:20] <nomasteryoda> basically as i have read.. the process is to setup the dsl modem in bridged mode
[06:20] <nomasteryoda> looking for the link
[06:20] <mikebot> nomasteryoda: thanks
[06:20] <kruncher> totem says "there is no plugin to handle this movie" (and yes it is an mp3 and not a movie)
[06:20] <farous> e4gl3: i am not sure but it seem that you have a problem in your home folder setting. traking it might take long time so is easier if you can to login permenantly from the working account
[06:21] <eggzeck> kruncher, sudo apt-get install xmms
[06:21] <e4gl3> yeh
[06:21] <eggzeck> kruncher, and you're done :)
[06:21] <e4gl3> that means i lose my username?
[06:21] <nomasteryoda> http://www.wikihow.com/Configure-Home-DSL-for-Use-in-Ubuntu-Linux
[06:21] <Frederick> folks I need help with a broken adsl
[06:21] <farous> e4gl3: but first and above all make sure you can use sudo in the other account
[06:21] <Frederick> after update I can't navigate animore
[06:21] <e4gl3> or can i move files over and then remove this account and readd it?
[06:22] <e4gl3> ok
[06:22] <nomasteryoda> mikebot, that should help
[06:22] <farous> e4gl3: yah you can do that
[06:22] <mikebot> nomasteryoda: thanks a bunch, i'm going to try it right now
[06:22] <eggzeck> kruncher, then use xmms for mp3 :)
[06:22] <nomasteryoda> k
[06:22] <kruncher> eggzeck, i usually use amarok and that gives the same error
[06:22] <kruncher> that's whats so weird
[06:22] <farous> e4gl3: having a backup admin account that can use sudo is a good practice
[06:23] <eggzeck> I've never used amarok
[06:23] <santyzu13> hello
[06:23] <Geoffrey2> orbin, well, .wmv playback on totem is, in a world, horrid
[06:23] <eggzeck> nor would I ever
[06:23] <nomasteryoda> kruncher, totem with the gstreamer? or xine
[06:23] <mikebot> nomasteryoda: shoot, is there any other way to find out the ip address for my dsl router?
[06:23] <nomasteryoda> model mikebot ... what brand
[06:23] <e4gl3> well i got that now :P
[06:23] <e4gl3> heh
[06:23] <nomasteryoda> should be set by default
[06:23] <kruncher> nomasteryoda: i belive its xine, i think i reember following a step in the restrictedformats thing
[06:23] <farous> mikebot: in google type what is my ip
[06:23] <nomasteryoda> 192.168.1.254 or some such
[06:23] <e4gl3> i just added another account without putting it in group admin, and it does the same thing
[06:23] <c0de> Could someone tell me how to get limewire for Ubuntu ?
[06:23] <farous> mikebot: will give you tons of links
[06:24] <e4gl3> so i dont think its this account. i think its privaledges?
[06:24] <kruncher> but it says "no sutible demux plugin"
[06:24] <kruncher> in amaork
[06:24] <silentread> has ne1 else had problems installing nvidia drivers in x32 ubuntu?
[06:24] <eggzeck> ubotu tell c0de about frostwire
[06:24] <farous> e4gl3: add your self to sound and admin group. make sure you check can use sound devices
[06:24] <nomasteryoda> kruncher, xine is the preferred plugin for that stuff in amarok
[06:24] <mikebot> nomasteryoda: um, one sec
[06:24] <nomasteryoda> k
[06:24] <Geoffrey2> every .wmv video I try to play in totem-xine looks extreme overexposed
[06:24] <eggzeck> !frostwire
[06:24] <ubotu> frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[06:24] <c0de> Thanks eggzeck
[06:24] <e4gl3> any ideas for a fix??
[06:24] <whitesuit> nobody has issues with the nvidia drivers?
[06:25] <eggzeck> c0de, np :)
[06:25] <kruncher> c0de: its a bit difficult to get limewire installed so try gtk-guntella (it uses the same network): sudo apt-get install gtk-gnutella
[06:25] <snoops> I'm sure some people have issues with them whitesuit.. most dont
[06:25] <nomasteryoda> whitesuit, on oldder nvidia, yes
[06:25] <farous> kruncher: difficult :)
[06:25] <e4gl3> gok
[06:25] <silentread> i have problems iwth the most recent drviers
[06:25] <eggzeck> kruncher, no, let him read (and it's better) what ubotu said ;)
[06:25] <farous> kruncher: just download the binary package untar it and use it without installation
[06:25] <eggzeck> kruncher, and it's not difficult at all
[06:25] <whitesuit> i got the latest driver from nvidia, compiled the kernel modules but it still freezes X , only mouse moves
[06:25] <whyameye> xmms is not playing shoutcast streams. It used to when I was running breezy.
[06:26] <whitesuit> repos. driver just the same
[06:26] <nomasteryoda> kruncher, i use what is apt repostiories...
[06:26] <mikebot> nomasteryoda: i have sbcis dsl, modem is westell wirespeed model: B90-36R516-01
[06:26] <c0de> kruncher: Ok
[06:26] <m3talc0re> anyone have any ubuntu vs suse statements?
[06:26] <eggzeck> c0de, it isn't difficult, just do what ubotu said
[06:26] <c0de> eggzeck: The site isn't working..
[06:26] <silentread> my x server wont even start
[06:26] <nomasteryoda> ah, westell.. yes that should be the ip address
[06:26] <nomasteryoda> you should set your card to dhcp
[06:26] <nomasteryoda> power cycle the modem
[06:27] <e4gl3> there is no sound group
[06:27] <eggzeck> c0de, seems like it's slow today, be patient :)
[06:27] <mikebot> nomasteryoda: power cycle it?
[06:27] <nomasteryoda> the card should get an ip address
[06:27] <c0de> eggzeck: Ok thanks
[06:27] <farous> e4gl3: ok then just the audio group
[06:27] <nomasteryoda> from the modem
[06:27] <olrrai> see u
[06:27] <nomasteryoda> unplug, plug if it has no switch
[06:27] <mikebot> nomasteryoda: i'm sorry, i'm not too familiar with these terms
[06:27] <mikebot> nomasteryoda: ah ok
[06:27] <BoukenBelle> Mkay... So, I just installed Ubuntu from a Breezy CD seeing as I couldn't get any Dapper CDs to work... and then I updated it to Dapper, and now it won't connect to the internet, and I don't really know what to do about it... plog says this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18908
[06:27] <e4gl3> ok
[06:28] <mikebot> nomasteryoda: i'm going to try: 192.168.1.254, brb
[06:28] <farous> e4gl3: you need to logout and in again to your account for it to work
[06:28] <Bonez> ok
[06:28] <Bonez> cool thanks
[06:28] <e4gl3> im in both then groups already?
[06:28] <BoukenBelle> I tried to reconfigure it with pppoeconf... but then really didn't do anything helpful.
[06:29] <mikebot> nomasteryoda: says unable to connect when i put that ip address in
[06:29] <kruncher> hey guys, just to let you know, i figured out the mp3 thing. I deleted the hidden .xine folder in my home dir and just like that mp3s work again.

[06:32] <dribble> alright, quick question - i replaced the Azureus2 jar file in /usr/share/java with the jar from CVS (renamed to Azureus2)...is this gonna bork updates?
[06:33] <Ackeubu_> hey guys, How do I run the automount? it seems as if it is broken. can i run it manually?
[06:34] <farous> Ackeubu_: are you in the plugdev group. and to do it manually you run pmount /dev/name
[06:34] <Ackeubu_> Can I find a list of apps gnome or ubuntu should run automatically when bootin up?
[06:34] <BoukenBelle> ... Anyone have any ideas? :D
[06:34] <farous> Ackeubu_: but you need to be in the group though

[06:47] <farous> thanatos: what do you mean by change adjust
[06:48] <nomasteryoda> this modem saves your password and username stuff so it should be "plug-n-play"
[06:48] <mikebot> nomasteryoda: same, unable to connect
[06:48] <mikebot> nomasteryoda: it isn';t auto connect though--or at least in windows, i have to open SBCIS and click connect

[06:53] <nomasteryoda> np
[06:53] <e4gl3> well thanks for ure help guys
[06:53] <thanatos> the sound is 2 quiet, adjusting the volume control does not work, does any1 know where i can change the settings for flashplugin-nonfree
[06:53] <e4gl3> at least i have it working somewhere now
[06:53] <e4gl3> lol
[06:54] <WiseOdd> lets try it again...: does any1 know how to do a win style "quickformat" in ubuntu linux?
[06:54] <snoops> ah right there's a sensativity bar next to accelleration in the ubuntu one karl
[06:54] <mborohovski> anyone ever set up a subversion server / repository? if so, could you help me?
[06:54] <WiseOdd> !format > WiseOdd
[06:56] <Alpha232> Mornin..  if i follow the upgrade instructions to go from Breezy to Dapper, will it replace my config files?  and also is there a dist that is ment for servers with all the debug and console stuff directed to com1?
[06:56] <WiseOdd> somebody plz help the n00b...
[06:57] <Alpha232> WiseOdd: which noob?
[06:57] <WiseOdd> alpha: me....
[06:57] <Alpha232> oh
[06:57] <WiseOdd> alpha: do you know how to do a win style "quickformat" on ubuntu linux?
[06:57] <Alpha232> WiseOdd: what format is the disk in?
[06:58] <WiseOdd> alpha: ext2
[06:58] <Alpha232> mount it, rm -rf it and you're done
[06:58] <Alpha232> if you want to change blocking, inode size, you'll have to do a full format
[06:58] <Alpha232> all that a quick format under windows does is wipe clean the fat
[06:59] <ajax4> Make sure you switch to the mounted partition before issuing the rm -rf :)
[06:59] <WiseOdd> alpha: nice. ill try it, and if i cant make it work, ill be back :) thx alot!
[06:59] <snoops> Wiseguy why not ext3? and it should be a 'quickformat' by default
[06:59] <Alpha232> and even that it doesn't totally wipe it
[06:59] <karl> !x2
[06:59] <ubotu> I know nothing about x2 - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[06:59] <karl> !x2x
[06:59] <ubotu> I know nothing about x2x - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[06:59] <karl> !x2vnc
[06:59] <ubotu> I know nothing about x2vnc - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[06:59] <Alpha232> snoops: but if its ext2, and formats as ext3, it will still take a while, longer than an rm-rf
[06:59] <myk> Hey, has anyone here setup a dual monitor display on an nvidia card before? I finally gave up on my radeon 9100 and ordered a cheap geforce 6200
[07:00] <epidemik> how do you update firefox?
[07:00] <snoops> myk you can use twinview.. which is basically as hard as adding option "TwinView" "true" in xorg.conf and setting up res of other monitor
[07:00] <snooplsm> can I private msg someone?
[07:00] <farous> myk: i have dual head display on my ati card so i guess will not be help for you ;)
[07:00] <ajax4> epidemik: Use the update manager and it will update all your packages
[07:00] <snoops> or xinerama
[07:00] <myk> haha thanks
[07:00] <pequatre> hi everyone. I have a strange issue: i'm trying to install xubuntu-alternate, so i've downloaded the .iso using bittorrent. The md5sum of the downloaded iso is correct. Next, i burn it, and the md5sum is good on the cd too. But when i start on the cd and "check for defects" xubuntu tells me my cd is wrong (some .deb packages fail the test). What gives ??
[07:01] <DShepherd> epidemik: you can wait until ubuntu has the lastest packages and download it.
[07:01] <karl> can anyone hit the ubuntu wiki page? for some reason I cannot access it
[07:01] <epidemik> hmmm...
[07:01] <Alpha232> snoops: lol setting up the resolution of a monitor isn't as simple as it could be sometimes though
[07:01] <epidemik> its not showing anything
[07:01] <quixentric> hey, I'm running Dapper Drake (just upgraded), and having an issue with screen savers. When previewing, only half of them will actually show up in the preview window. This is a new machine as well, but I didn't have this problem in Breezy. Is this just a video card issue or is it something else?
[07:01] <myk> i could never get it to work right, i could get both monitors to work at the login screen, however after logging on the desktop would be locked to one monitor
[07:01] <ajax4> epidemik: What version of firefox? What version of Ubuntu?
[07:01] <DShepherd> epidemik: what version of firefox do you have?
[07:01] <epidemik> i have version 1.0.8
[07:01] <epidemik> and version 5.10 of ubuntu
[07:02] <snoops> Alpha232 agreed :/
[07:02] <epidemik> i want firefox 1.5 so i can use fireftp
[07:02] <farous> myk: i have ati 9600 here but never had this prob
[07:02] <epidemik> should i upgrade to ubuntu 6.06
[07:02] <epidemik> ?
[07:02] <ajax4> epidemik: Definitely
[07:02] <epidemik> okay
[07:02] <farous> myk: you might need to enable xinerama in gdm. i used the internal setting for my radeon card
[07:02] <epidemik> do i need to burn it to a cd or will update manager do it?
[07:03] <ajax4> epidemik: If you upgrade the newest version should be in the repositories
[07:03] <epidemik> okay
[07:03] <epidemik>  thanks
[07:03] <myk> farous: i've looked it up on the forums, others have had the problem but i havent been able to fix it
[07:03] <epidemik> anything i should know before updating
[07:03] <epidemik> im a noob still )
[07:03] <epidemik> ;)
[07:03] <snooplsm> i'm a noob
[07:03] <snooplsm> it sucks
[07:03] <epidemik> yeah
[07:03] <epidemik> lol
[07:03] <Alpha232> so anyone know of a config for ubuntu that supports lights out operation?  ie headless, all the boot is directed to the serial port?
[07:03] <snooplsm> it really sucks when apt-get doesn't work too
[07:03] <farous> myk: i had it set on both the property and free drivers. is that specific to your card?
[07:03] <myk> farous: im a bit of a noob il have to play around with xinerama
[07:03] <epidemik> anything i should know before updating to 6.06?
[07:03] <ajax4> epidemik: I forgot the commands to upgrade, I'm sure someone else on here knows.
[07:04] <epidemik> How do you upgrade to 6.06?
[07:04] <farous> myk: give me a min i might still have the command line to insert in gdm
[07:04] <epidemik> hmm
[07:04] <epidemik> i just started it through update manager
[07:04] <myk> farous: what do you mean specific to my card? i've tried both the ati bins and the open source ones, the ati ones gave me the best results
[07:04] <epidemik> it says itll be done in 28 minutes :(
[07:04] <farous> myk: and for nividia there might be a built in option like ati so you might check that too
[07:05] <epidemik> okay
[07:05] <epidemik> im gonna go make dinner and hope its done by the time i get back
[07:05] <farous> myk: what type of setting you needed extended ddesktop, clone mode or dual head
[07:05] <epidemik> how did you guys get so smart?
[07:05] <WiseOdd> hmm. next problem... somehow i have lost about 19 GB on a brand new disk... theres never been anything on the disk, but instead of 279GB theres only 261GB free... hows that?
[07:06] <myk> farous: extended desktop
[07:06] <Flav> WiseOdd: what's df -h say?
[07:06] <epidemik> I have an AMD Athlon XP 2000+, should i over clock it to 1.6 ghz?
[07:06] <Alpha232> Wiseguy: 1024 or 1000 :)
[07:07] <epidemik> is that safe
[07:07] <Flav> WiseOdd: it may just be the reserved blocks - you can tune2fs to drop/eliminate those if you wanted
[07:07] <WiseOdd> flaw: /dev/sda1             276G  105M  261G   1% /media/usbdisk
[07:07] <blah> what is the name of the package that installs a bunch of compiler tools to say build packages? i thought it was something like build tools?
[07:07] <Alpha232> Harddrives are based on 1000 per K vs computers which look at it as 1024 per K
[07:07] <Flav> WiseOdd: yeah, that's just reserved blocks
[07:07] <ajax4> epidemik: I don't know but that's an offtopic issue for this channel
[07:07] <Alpha232> WiseOdd: also some usb devices have "management" areas
[07:07] <snooplsm> "sudo apt-get install fakeroot" does not work (fakeroot make-jpkg jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin), any suggestions
[07:07] <epidemik> sorry
[07:07] <farous> myk: ah with gnome it caused some prob with my but was faultless in fluxbox
[07:07] <snooplsm> no
[07:07] <Flav> WiseOdd: if it bothers you, tune2fs -m 0 /dev/sda1
[07:07] <farous> myk: ok here we go open the gdm.conf file
[07:07] <quixentric> .. anyone with screensaver help for me?
[07:08] <Alpha232> WiseOdd: though its not recommended...
[07:08] <WiseOdd> alpha: so for some reason the disc use 20 GB for management?
[07:08] <Alpha232> Wiseguy: 10% is reserved, only root can write to it
[07:08] <WiseOdd> flaw: thx
[07:08] <myk> farous: im not on my ubuntu install right now, can you tell me what to add and ill fix it tomorrow?
[07:08] <Alpha232> WiseOdd: its ment for system management, help maintain an unfragmented disk, and also allow root to do things when the disk is full to fix it
[07:08] <WiseOdd> alpha: why?
[07:08] <WiseOdd> ooh
[07:08] <farous> ok in your gdm.conf file go to the [server-standard]  section
[07:09] <odat> anyone willing to give some feedback?
[07:09] <Alpha232> WiseOdd: say you have 2000 users, the disk gets full, no one can do anything, except root who has the ability to use that extra 10%
[07:09] <bruenig> feedback on what
[07:09] <farous> myk: replace this line command=/usr/X11R6/bin/X -br -audit 0
[07:09] <odat> open source project i'm working on    www.fossystems.com
[07:09] <farous> myk:  with this line  command=/usr/X11R6/bin/X -br +xinerama -audit 0
[07:09] <myk> k
[07:10] <WiseOdd> alpha: is there a way to use instead of 10%, just use fx 1%?
[07:10] <farous> myk: that was with the old xserver-xorg though som might need editing for the new xorg-server
[07:10] <farous> myk: let me check if the bins are in the same place
[07:10] <myk> ok
[07:10] <Flav> WiseOdd: it's actually currently 5 - and if you want 1 instead, make the param 1 instead of 0 in that line I gave you
[07:11] <Alpha232> WiseOdd :   man tune2fs
[07:11] <WiseOdd> flaw: great. Thx alot!
[07:11] <Hexidigital> test
[07:11] <Hexidigital> whoops... sorry
[07:11] <Flav> WiseOdd: it's actually "Flav", thanks
[07:11] <Flav> fwiw, man mke2fs will point out that the default is 5%
[07:11] <WiseOdd> flav: hehe, didnt see that :)
[07:11] <farous> myk: yah it was changed
[07:12] <Flav> which is why you're "losing" 15GB of a ~300GB disk
[07:12] <WiseOdd> flav: whoops
[07:12] <jimwenn> hello
[07:12] <jimwenn> who can help me
[07:12] <ajax4> Flav: Does it do it automatically for all partitions or just root?
[07:12] <farous> instead of /usr/X11R6/bin/X it is now /usr/bin/X
[07:12] <Alpha232> Flav: sorry i'm used to 10% on solaris ;)
[07:12] <ajax4> jimwenn: What is your question?
[07:12] <myk> farous: great thanks
[07:12] <bruenig> odat, it seems kind of unnecessary. Buying used computers that have linux or other free operating systems. If they are free, then I would just get any computer that I wanted and then install them. I guess it is kind of a nice assurance to know they run these systems well.
[07:13] <farous> myk then you know how to configure the server in your xorg.conf file
[07:13] <jimwenn> i  want to install gcc but after installed it,it can not work
[07:13] <farous> myk: take care
[07:13] <myk> farous: you too
[07:13] <Flav> ajax4: all filesystems - at filesystem creation time, you don't really "know" if it's going to be / or something else, you're just making a filesystem on a partition
[07:14] <Flav> ajax4: but that's just a default, you can pass -m to override the default
[07:14] <ajax4> Flav: Thanks for the useful info :)
[07:14] <jimwenn> i run the command gcc -o -g hello hello.c
[07:14] <jimwenn>    but there are some errors
[07:14] <snooplsm> how do I configure libc6
[07:14] <WiseOdd> flav: is says: couldnt find valid filesystem superblock....
[07:15] <WiseOdd> flav: can you translate?
[07:15] <ajax4> jimwenn: Use the pastebin website and post the output
[07:15] <Flav> WiseOdd: you need to run it as root
[07:15] <jimwenn> the   error information is gcc: hello
[07:15] <jimwenn> hello.c:1: syntax error before < token
[07:15] <jimwenn> hello.c:9: my_print 
[07:15] <jimwenn> hello.c:6: my_print

[07:15] <jimwenn> hello.c:10:  " 
[07:15] <jimwenn> hello.c:11:  " 
[07:15] <ajax4> jimwenn: no
[07:15] <jimwenn> hello.c:12: syntax error before } token
[07:15] <Flav> WiseOdd: the line above that likely said "Permission denie"
[07:15] <WiseOdd> flav: i am running as root...
[07:15] <karl> !synergy
[07:15] <ubotu> I know nothing about synergy - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[07:16] <Flav> WiseOdd: can you paste the exact command and output?
[07:16] <ajax4> jimwenn: Post it on the pastebin website and give us the address
[07:16] <Hexidigital> jimwenn:: stop it
[07:16] <Flav> WiseOdd: (pastebin or pm or whatever)
[07:16] <farous> WiseOdd: if you are trying to reformat a partition you have to unmount it
[07:16] <WiseOdd> pm Flav
[07:16] <orbin> jimwenn: and you're in the wrong channel
[07:16] <Flav> farous: he's just running tune2fs - no need to umount
[07:16] <WiseOdd> ... not that way.. how do i pm?
[07:16] <farous> Flav: ok
[07:17] <farous> cheers :)
[07:17] <odat> bruenig, its not all my stuff it just gives open source systems its very own place to sell.   The key is that all revenue is used to advertising everyones listing  therefore promoting open source systems.  This is about everyone not just guys like us who can install whatever we want  this is about guys like us creating systems from open source software for guys who can't   to save them money, so them what they are missing and promote
[07:17] <odat> open source
[07:17] <Hexidigital> WiseOdd:: /msg {nick} message
[07:17] <WiseOdd> thx
[07:17] <Flav> WiseOdd: or use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[07:18] <WiseOdd> Flav: did u get the pm?

[07:19] <WiseOdd> Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
[07:19] <Nuked> I tried to make my own live cd, and ended up with a  directory full of what I suspect are immutable files
[07:20] <Nuked> I used a script
[07:20] <Nuked> but now I cant remove these files
[07:20] <Flav> WiseOdd: what's the output of "mount"?
[07:20] <WiseOdd> flav: u getting it now?

[07:21] <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)
[07:21] <WiseOdd> ajax4: sry man, but dunno how.. 2tal n00b :(
[07:22] <Nuked> can someone help me remove the immutable files?
[07:22] <ajax4> Wiseguy: Go to that website and paste your output on there...then give us the link to the output
[07:22] <WiseOdd> ajax: thx
[07:23] <Nuked> anyone?
[07:23] <WiseOdd> flav: its here....: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18912
[07:23] <Flav> hmmm - it's ext2 and mounted fine but tune2fs can't open /dev/sda1
[07:25] <Flav> WiseOdd: try tune2fs -m 0 /dev/hda1 to see if that works
[07:25] <WiseOdd> falv: ok
[07:25] <WiseOdd> flav:ok
[07:25] <WiseOdd> flav: it worked  :)
[07:26] <WiseOdd> flav: do i have to reformat the disc?
[07:26] <TiG4> *-- I have an old Pentium IIIand when I installed Dapper, it goes through the boot process but when it comes time for the login screen, it never shows up it just goes to a black screen, any ideas? --*
[07:26] <Flav> WiseOdd: you shouldn't need to - i'm not sure why it's not working.
[07:27] <Flav> WiseOdd: FWIW, though, as Alpha232 said, root is allowed to write to the full capacity, so it's not like that 15GB is really lost
[07:27] <TiG4> *-- And whenever I ran the graphical installer, the x server would not start, it did the same thing and went to a black screen. What could the problem be? --*
[07:28] <WiseOdd> flav: yeah i know, but its still 15 GB i really cant use. Its not like i have 1000s of users...
[07:28] <teimu> is there a built in port scanner for ubuntu? i know this sounds suspicious, but all im trying to do is find an open port for netcat on another one of my machines
[07:28] <WiseOdd> flav: im just trying linux, bcause Windows is a big stinker!
[07:28] <WiseOdd> flav: 15 GB i cant use, just isnt my cup of tea...
[07:28] <Flav> WiseOdd: well, if there's nothing of value stored there, you can umount /media/usbdisk then mke2fs -m 0 /dev/sda1
[07:29] <Flav> WiseOdd: well, you're running as root right now, so you could use those 15GB fine
[07:30] <WiseOdd> flav: will do that.. the only reason im running as root, is to backup my files. then im back to standard user :)
[07:30] <Flav> WiseOdd: good
[07:30] <WiseOdd> Flav: but thnax alot for the help! Real nice!
[07:30] <teimu> WiseOdd, just sudo cp. no need to login as root
[07:30] <TiG4> *-- Whenever I ran the Dapper graphical installer, the x server would not start, it did the same thing and went to a black screen. What could the problem be? --*
[07:31] <WiseOdd> flav: yeah i know, but there was alot of things to be done... this way was easier...
[07:31] <e4gl3> k, how do i change the owner of folders and the files in them?
[07:31] <e4gl3> i want to delete my original account, and then reamake it
[07:32] <Flav> WiseOdd: you can also "sudo -s" to get a shell if you need to do a few different things in sudo and don't want to prefix "sudo" a bunch
[07:32] <Flav> e4gl3: chown -R user folder
[07:32] <teimu> TiG4, how are you installing? install CD during boot?
[07:32] <e4gl3> ok thanks
[07:32] <WiseOdd> flav: ah, nice1. didnt know that :)
[07:32] <e4gl3> and thats sudo yeh?
[07:32] <Flav> e4gl3: if you're not the current owner, yes
[07:33] <teimu> is there a built in port scanner for ubuntu? i know this sounds suspicious, but all im trying to do is find an open port for netcat on another one of my machines
[07:34] <TiG4> teimu, Im just using the install cd, and booting from the cd
[07:34] <teimu> every port i try is refused
[07:34] <nicholaspaul> has anyone here tried installing ubuntu on a G3?
[07:35] <zcat[1] > nicholaspaul: beige g3 ?
[07:35] <teimu> nicholaspaul, are G3's intel?
[07:35] <nicholaspaul> zcat[1] : yea
[07:35] <nicholaspaul> teimu er..no
[07:35] <teimu> nicholaspaul, well, im pretty darn sure it wont work then
[07:36] <nicholaspaul> teimu: actually i know for a fact that lots of people have got it installed, but I wondered if there was a person here who has done it since i'm having trouble.
[07:36] <nicholaspaul> teimu: besides, you dont need intell to install ubuntu
[07:37] <zcat[1] > http://wlug.org.nz/UbuntuOnOldWorldPPC   -- I've done breezy but couldn't get dapper going. It doesn't seem to like running the newer kernels.. dapper with an old kernel might work
[07:37] <teimu> nicholaspaul, hmm. i think i was thinking of installing windows on a mac. you're right
[07:37] <teimu> TiG4, is there any option not to use the graphical installer?
[07:38] <TiG4> teimu, I got it installed with the not graphical installer, but now xserver wont start on bootup
[07:38] <ajax4> teimu: There is version of Ubuntu that you can download that uses an alternate installer
[07:38] <teimu> TiG4, this seems like a video problem.
[07:38] <TiG4> teimu, I think thats what it isalso
[07:39] <teimu> TiG4, what card are you using?
[07:39] <TiG4> Intel Pro somethin...
[07:39] <TiG4> Not for sure
[07:39] <teimu> and TiG4, can you get a console?
[07:39] <zcat[1] > hmmm.. have to go in 15 mins abd I think I should eat something first!
[07:40] <TiG4> teimu, yep
[07:40] <TiG4> teimu, I've reconfigured xorg
[07:40] <TiG4> teimu, but I didn't really know which vid driver to select, I used the default i810
[07:41] <teimu> TiG4, hmm. i was going to mention changing that. have you googled for what other people have done with that card?
[07:41] <TiG4> no not yet, i will after this, imgoing to try to reconfig gdm
[07:41] <fishy> I'm trying to use Skype on Ubuntu. Skype is giving me bugs. Are there any alternatives that let me talk to my friends with my Skype name?
[07:42] <teimu> TiG4, btw, have you installed any linux on that machine and got x11 to work?
[07:43] <pilgrim> I've got an nvidia gforce4 card, I can only get 640x480 resolution. HOw do I increase it?
[07:43] <teimu> pilgrim, get the nvidia driver from apt
[07:43] <pilgrim> teimu, can you give me the exact name?
[07:44] <TiG4> teimu, yeah
[07:44] <TiG4> teimu, debian
[07:45] <teimu> pilgrim, i wish. i dont remember it, and i cant get root on this machine im using to look it up in apt. open synaptic and search nvidia, you'll see a whole bunch, pick the ones you think you need, and make sure they have the ubuntu logo next to them
[07:45] <pilgrim> teimu, cool. thanks.
[07:45] <teimu> TiG4, why not just use the video card data from that install?
[07:45] <ajax4> !nvidia > pilgrim
[07:46] <pilgrim> ajax4, thanks :)
[07:46] <teimu> TiG4, in xorg i mean
[07:47] <ajax4> pilgrim: You're welcome. You should be good to go :)
[07:47] <ZeZu> !easyubuntu
[07:47] <ubotu> easyubuntu is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. See http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ ; for help and discussion of easyubuntu please join #easyubuntu.
[07:47] <ZeZu> pilgrim, might think about looking at that script
[07:47] <pilgrim> ZeZu, actually I installed easyubuntu.
[07:47] <ZeZu> its not for everyone, but its always worked nicely for me and solved quite a few problems, and its piss easy
[07:48] <pilgrim> ZeZu, and chose nvidia in it and still same problem with rez.
[07:48] <ZeZu> perhaps its your monitor settings
[07:48] <Eclipse_GSX> ok how do i install drivers for a device? i have the drivers....but i dont know how to install them....linux is confusing me...
[07:48] <ZeZu> what type of monitor do you have connected ?
[07:48] <fishy> What's the command to suspend the computer?
[07:48] <ZeZu> sleep maybe
[07:48] <pilgrim> ZeZu, hmm..no idea...this isn't my own machine and I don't have access to it right now.
[07:49] <ZeZu> well you might look at the settings in xorg.conf for the monitor as well
[07:49] <pilgrim> ZeZu, k. I'll figure it out. If not, I'll be back.
[07:49] <ZeZu> if the vid driver is installed properly and its working (esp w/ 3d accell. working) then its likely not a vid driver prob
[07:50] <pilgrim> ZeZu, that's some good information. Thanks.
[07:50] <Alpha232> is there no one who uses ubuntu as a headless server?
[07:50] <ajax4> Eclipse_GSX: Most devices will work out of the box with no need for additional drivers. What type of device?
[07:50] <teimu> hey pilgrim, i just looked at that easyubuntu thing. it looks like it might be exactly what youre looking for. theres an option to install the nvidia drivers at a click of the mouse
[07:50] <ZeZu> no prob
[07:50] <Madpilot> Alpha232, lots of people do - what's your specific question?
[07:50] <Eclipse_GSX> ajax4: USB wireless adapter
[07:50] <Eclipse_GSX> d-link...
[07:50] <teimu> is there a built in port scanner for ubuntu? i know this sounds suspicious, but all im trying to do is find an open port for netcat on another one of my machines
[07:51] <pilgrim> teimu, I've tried it already. Didn't change anything though.
[07:51] <ZeZu> teimu, probably not just download one?
[07:51] <pilgrim> teimu, apt-get install nmap
[07:51] <teimu> pilgrim, meh...do the synaptic thing then =)
[07:51] <ZeZu> pilgrim, have ya tried the resolution switcher even ? is 640x480 the only option ?
[07:51] <pilgrim> ZeZu, yeah.
[07:51] <ZeZu> yea .. monitor settings
[07:51] <Eclipse_GSX> i dont get how to "complie"
[07:51] <fishy> I'm not in GNOME. What's the command to "Suspend" the computer
[07:52] <TiG4> teimu, what do you mean
[07:52] <fishy> Eclipse: ./configure, make, sudo make install
[07:52] <ajax4> Eclipse_GSX: Does it say you need to compile your device driver?
[07:52] <ZeZu> its not the driver
[07:52] <pilgrim> fishy, suspend
[07:52] <Eclipse_GSX> ajax4: yea
[07:52] <ZeZu> doesn't seem likely anyways
[07:52] <fishy> thanks, pilgrim
[07:52] <teimu> pilgrim, thanks. it turns out i already have nmap. now im in business
[07:52] <pilgrim> fishy, you're welcome.
[07:52] <Eclipse_GSX> ajax4: or at least thats what the README says...
[07:52] <pilgrim> teimu, you're welcome.
[07:52] <pilgrim> Eclipse_GSX, what are you compiling?
[07:53] <ajax4> Eclipse_GSX: You have to install a compiler and all the required libaries.
[07:53] <fishy> pilgrim: Nothing is happening. I'm not in GNOME, do I need to run gnome-screensaver first?
[07:53] <Eclipse_GSX> im so confused...
[07:53] <minerale> Hi could someone help me with this? -- I have a currently running gnome session, I have tightvnc, and I'd like to reconnect to the running session, using tightvncserver all I get is a 'new' x server / vnc session
[07:53] <Eclipse_GSX> why cant things just come in an installer package....
[07:53] <pilgrim> Eclipse_GSX, what do you want to do?
[07:53] <pilgrim> Eclipse_GSX, let's start t here
[07:53] <Alpha232> Madpilot: i'm trying to find out if there is a prebuilt config for running headless, ie when booting, what would be displayed on the console (monitor) is sent to a serial port.
[07:53] <ajax4> Eclipse_GSX: They are. Just type this in a terminal: apt-get install build-essential
[07:53] <teimu> TiG4, copy the xorg.conf (or whatever its called) to some place you can get to it again, and then apply those values to the new xorg.
[07:53] <pilgrim> fishy, interesting...
[07:53] <Madpilot> Alpha232, hmm, no idea.
[07:54] <pilgrim> fishy, don't want to try it on my machine since...I don't want to suspend. so I don't know what the prob. is
[07:54] <teimu> TiG4, unless you've already overwritten the Debian install...
[07:54] <azcazandco> I think I just totally hosed the windows partition on my pc whilst trying to re-install dapper drake
[07:54] <Alpha232> Madpilot: every time i upgrade i have to uninstall X, uninstall openoffice and all the other cruft and re-edit my inittab to enable my console, and never get to see my kernel messages until the system is up and i read the logs
[07:54] <TiG4> teimu, yeah i did
[07:54] <ajax4> Eclipse_GSX: I can't get private messages so just talk in the main channel.
[07:54] <TiG4> teimu, Unfortunately
[07:55] <teimu> TiG4, ahh. crap. im outta ideas. sorry
[07:55] <Madpilot> Alpha232, you shouldn't have to mess with X & such, at least - do a server install
[07:55] <ajax4> Eclipse_GSX: Type this in a terminal: apt-get install build-essential
[07:55] <fishy> Hmm. Anyone know how to suspend?
[07:55] <azcazandco> in gparted it says it cannot detect a filesystem where windows used to be and it says it is unmounted
[07:55] <ajax4> Eclipse_GSX: Actually its: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[07:55] <azcazandco> anyone got advice on how to recover as I have valuable data there
[07:56] <pilgrim> azcazandco, showing as unallocated?
[07:56] <azcazandco> shown as unknown
[07:57] <pilgrim> azcazandco, tried mounting ?
[07:57] <azcazandco> doesnt give the option
[07:57] <dazvid> Does anyone in here use a G15 keyboard?
[07:57] <azcazandco> is /dev/sda1
[07:57] <nathan_> hello
[07:57] <pilgrim> azcazandco, "mount -t <type> /dev/hda<num> /mnt/"
[07:57] <drt> hello i need help, ive searched google for the last 5+ hours and tried many methods to get my broadcom 4318 wifi card working in dapper 64bit and nothing has worked
[07:57] <Eclipse_GSX> ok so i typed that in...
[07:57] <nathan_> i have a question. i want to completely uninstall xorg and all the stuff that runs in it
[07:57] <drt> i have lost eth1 in network alltoghter
[07:58] <nathan_> how would i do that?
[07:58] <snooplsm> how do you guys have azureus on your pc?
[07:58] <Alpha232> drt: well call broadcom and tell them to release open source drivers
[07:58] <snooplsm> do you just run the jar?
[07:58] <uniscript> completely remove x11-common
[07:58] <pilgrim> Alpha232, what an answer.
[07:58] <uniscript> nathan_: completely uninstall x11-common
[07:58] <snoops> snooplsm sudo apt-get install azureus
[07:58] <drt> Alpha232: i can and will, in the mean time is there any work around?
[07:58] <nathan_> ok, do i need to kill xorg and everything?
[07:58] <nathan_> i'm running on an ssh session now
[07:58] <pilgrim> drt, tried ndiswrappers?
[07:58] <snooplsm> snoops: thats too ez haha, love this os
[07:58] <drt> pilgrim: yes
[07:58] <Alpha232> drt: yup...ndiswraper
[07:59] <azcazandco> pilgrim: so that would be mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt ?
[07:59] <drt> i lost eth1 in network
[07:59] <pilgrim> azcazandco, sure.
[07:59] <azcazandco> k
[07:59] <drt> it's gone
[07:59] <uniscript> nathan_: uninstalling x11-common and all dependencies will kill X for you
[07:59] <drt> after using ndis
[07:59] <nathan_> ok, thanks uniscript
[07:59] <m3talc0re> hey
[07:59] <m3talc0re> i got a question for ya
[07:59] <pilgrim> drt, hm...strange.
[07:59] <ajax4> azcazandco: Be careful, ntfs does not work fully under Linux
[07:59] <m3talc0re> why does ubuntu's Firefox icon the Deer Park icon?
[07:59] <pilgrim> drt, did you try something else prior to ndis?
[08:00] <fishy> Ubuntu is really slow...
[08:00] <m3talc0re> why is*
[08:00] <nathan_> ok, i have another question
[08:00] <fishy> (wiki)
[08:00] <pilgrim> m3talc0re, just the theme.
[08:00] <snooplsm> is mplayer the best video player?
[08:00] <drt> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=197102&highlight=ndiswrapper+howto < this is the method i tried last
[08:00] <m3talc0re> is there a way i can change it's icon?
[08:00] <KuriKai> m3talc0re:  I think because the icon is trademarked / copyrited
[08:00] <nathan_> is there a way to make linux run a certain application without somebody being logged in?
[08:00] <ajax4> fishy: I've found it to be one of the speediest Linux distros I've ever used
[08:00] <Eclipse_GSX> ajax4: ok so i went through it al....now what?
[08:00] <Vhata> nathan_: learn about crontab
[08:00] <m3talc0re> n/m
[08:00] <azcazandco> pilgrim: getting errors with that :9
[08:00] <m3talc0re> dumb question :P
[08:00] <pilgrim> nathan_, sure.
[08:00] <prophet> where can i find PNG icons?
[08:00] <nathan_> i'm trying to make a turnkey multiplayer game server
[08:01] <snooplsm> prophet try google with Creative Commons PNG ICONS
[08:01] <KuriKai> prophet: http://google.com
[08:01] <pilgrim> azcazandco, so did it mount? tried cd-ing into /mnt?
[08:01] <uniscript> nathan_ you can add a script into /etc/init.d
[08:01] <ajax4> Eclipse_GSX: You should follow the readme instructions and could be different depending on the program you are compiling. But generally it involves doing a 'configure', 'make' then 'make install'
[08:02] <uniscript> nathan_ it'll run as root if you link to it from the right place in /etc/rc.3
[08:02] <azcazandco> no it didnt mount
[08:02] <pilgrim> ajax4, what is Eclipse_GSX trying to install?
[08:02] <Eclipse_GSX> ajax4 ok
[08:02] <ajax4> pilgrim: Device driver
[08:02] <nathan_> i want it to run with limited permissions, to be honest
[08:02] <uniscript> nathan_ s/rc.3/rc3.d
[08:02] <pilgrim> ajax4, :(
[08:02] <uniscript> then make it auto start when you log into the reduced permissions account
[08:02] <Eclipse_GSX> pilgrim: USB D-Link wireless adapter....
[08:02] <ajax4> pilgrim: Problem?
[08:03] <pilgrim> Eclipse_GSX, did it work out for you?
[08:03] <snoops> snooplsm most people would say it's the best.. also for azureus you'll need to enable universe and may as well add multiverse repositories while you're at it.. open synaptic and go settings>repositories..scroll down the dialog box, pick the repositories, hit close then reload :) you can open synaptic from system>administration
[08:03] <Eclipse_GSX> not yet...
[08:03] <pilgrim> ajax4, no, just sad about Eclipse_GSX's prob.
[08:03] <ajax4> pilgrim: Yeah, I know.
[08:04] <azcazandco> pilgrim: any suggestions as to what to try next?
[08:04] <pilgrim> ajax4, we shouldn't need to compile in this day and age.
[08:04] <pilgrim> azcazandco, hmm.....
[08:04] <minerale> Hi, I'm a novice when it comes to this -- I have a currently running gnome session, I have tightvnc, and I'd like to reconnect to the running session, using tightvncserver all I get is a 'new' x server / vnc session. How can I use the vnc server to connect to my current window, as if I were sitting in front of the computer
[08:04] <pilgrim> azcazandco, I've seen a similar problem.
[08:04] <Myrtti> hello
[08:04] <ajax4> pilgrim: I agree. At least they're supporting it somewhat. But you're right, newbies shouldn't have to compile to get their hardware working.
[08:04] <pilgrim> azcazandco, can't think of the solution though.
[08:04] <kouwe> moge
[08:05] <pilgrim> ajax4, I love that autopackage thingy. I don't know why devs don't use it more.
[08:05] <azcazandco> pilgrim: I am panicing slightly
[08:05] <Myrtti> I'm wondering how I could get my ubuntu to install all the packages listed in a output file of dpkg --get-selections?
[08:05] <pilgrim> azcazandco, yeah, I'd be panicing too.
[08:05] <DonePedro> Please. help me!
[08:05] <DonePedro> I can't type "w" on the keyboard!
[08:05] <snoops> minerale umm can you choose which desktop to connect to in tightvncviewer? like ipaddress:session.. the one in front of your pc should be session 0 or 1
[08:06] <pilgrim> DonePedro, you just did.
[08:06] <azcazandco> pilgrim: that sounds like a very very grim outlook
[08:06] <ajax4> pilgrim: hahahah
[08:06] <thedude> I have a problem with my ubunto install on g3 imac
[08:06] <pilgrim> :)
[08:06] <prophet> where can i find a png icon for opera
[08:06] <Vhata> Myrtti: dpkg --set-selections, funnily enough
[08:06] <ajax4> prophet: try /usr/share/pixmaps
[08:06] <Myrtti> Vhata: nothing happens, funnily enough
[08:07] <Vhata> Myrtti: no, now you need to tell it to go ahead and commit those selections
[08:07] <thedude> it installs fine but I get "there was a problem registering the panel with the bonobo activation server the error code is 3 the panel will now exit"
[08:07] <Vhata> Myrtti: apt-get upgrade?
[08:07] <lurker> ..
[08:07] <Ademan> hey is it possible to use my pci voodoo 3 card?
[08:07] <nemsb> Help
[08:07] <Myrtti> Vhata: should that do the trick?
[08:07] <nemsb> somebody
[08:07] <Vhata> Myrtti: it "should"  :-/
[08:07] <pilgrim> azcazandco, hey, try windows repair option. might work.
[08:07] <DonePedro> i copy this "vv"!
[08:07] <Vhata> nemsb: you have to actually specify what you need help with.
[08:07] <ajax4> Ademan: Yes, I've installed Linux on computers with Voodoo 3 cards
[08:07] <DonePedro> please, help!
[08:08] <minerale> snooplsm: but I need to setup a vnc server first....
[08:08] <ajax4> DonePedro: What key are you having trouble with?
[08:08] <pilgrim> DonePedro, is your keyboard broken?
[08:08] <Vhata> Myrtti: does it?
[08:08] <nemsb> hello
[08:08] <DonePedro> no
[08:08] <Ademan> ajax4: yeah, but can i take advantage of the voodoo 3?
[08:08] <Myrtti> doesn't look like it so far
[08:08] <DonePedro> My keyboard is ne
[08:08] <DonePedro> vv
[08:08] <pilgrim> DonePedro, why isn't the W key working then?
[08:08] <DonePedro> in vvindovvs is ok
[08:09] <pilgrim> DonePedro, hmm...
[08:09] <Myrtti> DonePedro: have you been playing with keyboard shortcuts?
[08:09] <DonePedro> on ubuntu bad
[08:09] <ajax4> Ademan: Whta do you mean "take advantage"?
[08:09] <DonePedro> no?
[08:09] <pilgrim> DonePedro, what layout you got?
[08:09] <pilgrim> DonePedro, keyboard layout?
[08:09] <Ademan> like are there voodoo 3 drivers?
[08:09] <nemsb> i forget to fill my root password
[08:09] <stefg> !root
[08:09] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[08:10] <ajax4> Ademan: Yes, there are.
[08:10] <Vhata> Myrtti: man dpkg, go right to the bottom, see what it says, I was wrong ;-)
[08:10] <fivre> Ademan: my voodoo3 works
[08:10] <kouwe> what command should i use to activate eth0 and set it to use DHCP.... ?
[08:10] <Myrtti> Vhata: ookkey
[08:10] <fivre> however, I don't think you're going to be playing any XTREME games on it :|
[08:10] <Vhata> Myrtti: 'dselect install' should do it, it seems
[08:11] <thedude> I keep getting nautilus errors at start up
[08:11] <sentinel> hmm
[08:11] <nemsb> when i want to edit /etc/passwd, i cannot save it.
[08:11] <thedude> and nothing loads
[08:11] <pilgrim> nemsb, why you editing /etc/passwd?
[08:11] <nemsb> how to change it?
[08:11] <pilgrim> nemsb, shouldn't need to do that
[08:11] <Vhata> thedude: for anybody to be able to help you, you need to say *what* the errors are - we can't just guess what is wrong, and the error messages are actually there to tell you the problem, you know
[08:11] <pilgrim> nemsb, change what?
[08:11] <thedude> it installs fine but I get "there was a problem registering the panel with the bonobo activation server the error code is 3 the panel will now exit"
[08:11] <Vhata> nemsb: why are you editing /etc/passwd?  you shouldn't be doing that
[08:12] <thedude> vhata: that's the error
[08:12] <stefg> !doesn't work > thedude
[08:12] <pilgrim> kouwe, got GUI?
[08:12] <kouwe> pilgrim: no
[08:12] <sentinel> I have no monitor plugged into my ubuntu GUI machine (it's being accessed remotely), except after rebooting without the monitor plugged in, it's stuck at 640x480 resolution, is there any way I could force a higher resolution?
[08:13] <nemsb> make root password, forgot to make it
[08:13] <nemsb> ok..
[08:13] <kouwe> pilgrim: i activated it with up but now it doesnt get an ip with DHCP
[08:13] <pilgrim> kouwe, ifconfig eth0 up should bring eth0...up
[08:13] <pilgrim> kouwe, I see.
[08:13] <stefg> !ixres > sentinel
[08:13] <ubotu> I know nothing about ixres  - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[08:13] <stefg> !fixres > sentinel
[08:13] <nemsb> Vhata: Ok
[08:13] <pilgrim> kouwe, do /etc/ini.d/networking restart
[08:13] <Alpha232> bah
[08:13] <kouwe> ok
[08:13] <pilgrim> kouwe, with sudo of course
[08:13] <Madpilot> nemsb, Ubuntu uses sudo + your user password
[08:13] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell nemsb about sudo
[08:13] <nemsb> pilgrim: how to make root password
[08:13] <ajax4> !sudo
[08:13] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[08:14] <fishy> ajax4: I was talking about the wiki loading speed. ;)
[08:14] <pilgrim> nemsb, there is no root in ubuntu
[08:14] <Vhata> Feature request for Ubuntu: use some special force-feedback mechanism to electrically shock people who try to admin an Ubuntu box without learning about sudo first
[08:14] <ajax4> fishy: Usually if webpages load slow its not due to your computer but your internet connection or the server that is sending you the page.
[08:14] <pilgrim> nemsb, if you want to run a command as root, for example "ls" you type "sudo ls" instead and then put you USER password
[08:14] <kouwe> pilgrim: still no ip... after restarting
[08:14] <stefg> !root
[08:14] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[08:14] <Myrtti> Vhata: thank you!
[08:14] <Madpilot> Vhata, +1 - bugs.ubuntu.com, file as Wishlist :)
[08:15] <pilgrim> kouwe, can you ping 127.0.0.1?
[08:15] <Vhata> Myrtti: sorted?
[08:15] <kouwe> pilgrim: yeahyeah
[08:15] <kouwe> lo is up
[08:15] <nathan_> ok, so if i put this program in cron, i wouldn't have to login to run it?
[08:15] <pilgrim> kouwe, hm..
[08:15] <nathan_> i'm still very new to this, sorry
[08:15] <Vhata> nathan_: cron will run a program regularly at the specified time, as the specified user
[08:16] <Myrtti> Vhata: yes
[08:16] <stefg> nathan_: that's the reason why (ana)cron exists
[08:16] <Myrtti> Vhata: <3
[08:16] <Vhata> nathan_: do you want it to be run regularly at a certain interval, or do you want it to run once when the machine starts up, as a service?
[08:16] <nathan_> i want it to run as a service
[08:16] <nemsb> pilgrim: thank..
[08:16] <stefg> !boot
[08:16] <ubotu> Boot options: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootOptions To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a bootfloppy: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SmartBootManagerHowto
[08:16] <Vhata> then you need to look into writing an init.d script for it
[08:16] <Hexidigital> if i enter my college LAN essid in my /etc/network/interface file, should that detect DHCP at boot, with another essid entry?
[08:16] <nathan_> ok
[08:16] <Vhata> that there is a useful bot.
[08:16] <pilgrim> nemsb, you're welcome :)
[08:16] <nemsb> pilgrim: no multiuser in ubuntu?
[08:16] <thedude> vhata: "there was a problem registering the panel with the bonobo activation server the error code is 3 the panel will now exit"
[08:17] <pilgrim> nemsb, sure... just add one.
[08:17] <Vhata> thedude: yeah, I saw, I have no idea what the problem is
[08:17] <pilgrim> nemsb, got GUI?
[08:17] <Vhata> thedude: but now that I have that error message, I can tell you that there's something wrong with your gnome
[08:18] <thedude> vhata: how can I possibly fix it when it's a fresh install and I can't access anything because nothing loads
[08:18] <Vhata> thedude: run 'ps ax | grep bonobo' in a shell and tell me if it gives you any output that looks like 'bonobo-activation-server' ?
[08:18] <Vhata> thedude: a fresh install gives you that error!?
[08:18] <Vhata> that's not good
[08:18] <thedude> vhata: yes
[08:18] <Vhata> can I call you His Dudeness, btw?
[08:19] <thedude> vhata: well I have yet to get any version of linux to run on this machine, so I guess it's just another coaster I made
[08:19] <Vhata> or, uh, Duder.  Or El Duderino, if I'm not feeling into that whole brevity thing.
[08:19] <thedude> vhata: sure can
[08:19] <Vhata> thedude: were there any errors during installation?
[08:19] <akonkwa> Does anyone know how I can chenge the frequency of my display other than through the GUI? I'm using breezy
[08:19] <thedude> vhata: no
[08:19] <Vhata> thedude: let me google for you
[08:20] <Vhata> thedude: what machine is it?
[08:20] <nemsb> pilgrim: i have GUI, easy to use..not command line
[08:20] <thedude> vhata: I've tried yellowdog, mandrake, and just about every other linux that makes a ppc verion and nothing loads, this is actually the most successful as far as installing it
[08:21] <Vhata> thedude: iBook?
[08:21] <thedude> vhata: imac G3 233mhz
[08:21] <Vhata> right
[08:21] <Vhata> thedude: try reinstalling gnome-panel?
[08:21] <nemsb> pilgrim: is that ubuntu has vlc player using apt-get?
[08:21] <pilgrim> nemsb, go to system>administration>users and groups...there you can add users.
[08:21] <garryF> thedude: Can you get to a command line at all or edit the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[08:21] <pilgrim> nemsb, should.
[08:21] <Vhata> thedude: aptitude reinstall gnome-panel, from a root shell
[08:21] <pilgrim> kouwe, man interfaces
[08:22] <Vhata> thedude: have you also looked in /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
[08:22] <kouwe> aaah :)
[08:22] <thedude> vhata: how can I get to a root shell on it?
[08:22] <akonkwa> Does anyone know how I can chenge the frequency of my display other than through the GUI? I'm using breezy
[08:22] <garryF> from any command line do sudo aptitude reinstall gnome-panel
[08:22] <Vhata> thedude: sudo -s
[08:23] <Vhata> or, do what garryF said
[08:23] <thedude> vhata: yeah but getting to the actuall command line is the problem
[08:23] <nemsb> pilgrim: what command? like this -- sudo apt-get vlc?
[08:23] <azcazandco> pilgrim: do you have any suggestions as to where to start googling for solutions or do you think I am pretty much f***ed
[08:23] <garryF> it will ask for a password, it will be your normal user password.
[08:23] <Vhata> thedude: ctrl-alt-f1 to get to a console
[08:23] <Vhata> thedude: then log in as a normal user
[08:23] <thedude> vhata: ok
[08:24] <pilgrim> nemsb, yeah.
[08:24] <nemsb> got to go now..
[08:24] <pilgrim> azcazandco, don't give up hope.
[08:24] <garryF> Yeah, I always forget that ctrl-alt-f1 thing. /slaps self.
[08:24] <pilgrim> azcazandco, got a windows cd?
[08:24] <nemsb> lunch
[08:24] <azcazandco> pilgrim: thanks for the words of confidence
[08:24] <azcazandco> yes
[08:24] <pilgrim> azcazandco, tried repairing with it?
[08:25] <azcazandco> nope
[08:25] <azcazandco> will do that now
[08:25] <pilgrim> azcazandco, good luck.
[08:25] <azcazandco> haha... thanks...  looks like I will need it
[08:25] <garryF> Need to get Luck Linux
[08:26] <pilgrim> azcazandco, hey, one sec.
[08:26] <pilgrim> azcazandco, try "repairing ntfs partition" in google
[08:26] <pilgrim> could be promising.
[08:26] <thedude> will choosing "failsafe terminal" get me to the same place?
[08:26] <pilgrim> azcazandco, can you boot into windows at all?
[08:27] <Vhata> thedude: never seen that, not sure
[08:27] <garryF> It might thedude.
[08:27] <Vhata> thedude: you realise that if all these distributions fail to install, then it's not unlikely that your hardware is poked?
[08:27] <garryF> I've seen it. It looks like a minimum gui style command line.
[08:27] <thedude> vhata: the all fail at different points
[08:28] <blarp> thedude: I've successfully used the following Linux Distros on my iMac:  Debian, Ubuntu, FC5, and FC6 -- however I have yet to get Dapper Drake to work (video wise) out of the box  =(
[08:28] <Vhata> thedude: that doesn't mean it's not hardware
[08:28] <pilgrim> ok, good night y'all.
[08:28] <thedude> vhata: mandranke installed fine except for the screeching noise that came out of the speakers loud-as-hell
[08:28] <spades> thedude i know someone who cant get any linux on his pc but can get freebsd if you want *nix
[08:28] <pilgrim> don't lose hope.
[08:28] <Vhata> thedude: I'm not going to not stop using double negatives at you now
[08:28] <Ackeubu_> hey guys, things like extra buttons on my laptop, volume buttons and so on are no longer working. Can I start that service manually somhow?
[08:29] <bobbyw> does anyone know why when I open azureus it takes about ten minutes before it shows on hte screen?
[08:29] <Vhata> Ackeubu_: that's not a service, those are keymapping settings - just go fiddle around the preferences menu
[08:29] <thedude> yeah I can get linux to install fine on my pc and g4, and os8 that came with the g3 imac insalls fine too
[08:29] <garryF> Dunno what azureus  is
[08:30] <garryF> !azureus > garryF
[08:30] <Vhata> thedude: any luck with reinstalling gnome-panel?
[08:30] <miguelsr> some one know how to delet a program that was install by automatix?
[08:30] <thedude> vhata: I have the command line now
[08:30] <Vhata> !azureus > Vhata
[08:30] <thedude> vhata: and did sude -s
[08:30] <thedude> sudo*
[08:30] <Vhata> thedude: and?
[08:30] <garryF> Package manager should help you delete stuff you don't want.
[08:30] <Ackeubu_> Vhata, they worked when i installed ubuntu, not doing any extra settings. now they dont work anymore.. so. something must have been broken in the process..
[08:30] <bobbyw> azureus blows.
[08:31] <nathan_> agreed
[08:31] <blarp> duh
[08:31] <bobbyw> I figured no one would have that answer
[08:31] <thedude> vhata: that's as far as I know how to go, I'm not very familiar with the *nix terminal
[08:31] <bobbyw> what should I use?
[08:31] <z0rz> bobby, nathan what do you use?
[08:31] <Vhata> does dpkg have a 'verify installed package' thing somewhere?
[08:31] <z0rz> "Bit comment"
[08:31] <bobbyw> I've used uTorrent up until now
[08:31] <Vhata> thedude: are you in a root shell now?
[08:31] <thedude> vhata: yeah
[08:31] <nathan_> i use a windows client, i won't be any help
[08:31] <z0rz> uTorrent for linux/
[08:31] <Vhata> thedude: run 'aptitude reinstall gnome-panel'
[08:31] <nathan_> utorrent is windows only
[08:31] <z0rz> yeah uTorrent is da shiznit
[08:31] <z0rz> too bad this is #ubuntu
[08:31] <bobbyw> bitcommet is banned at my torrent site
[08:31] <Ackeubu_> Vhata there are alot of things broken,nowadays, things that I took for granted before. like automount. should I just reinstall ubuntu? there is so many small things that I dont really now how to fix, and might even not know are broken...
[08:31] <blarp> to get X working on Debian (and maybe Ubuntu?) see http://dw.ccsh.us/doku.php?id=debian
[08:31] <bobbyw> utorrent + wine = awesomeness.
[08:32] <Vhata> Ackeubu_: what happened that broke them?
[08:32] <bobbyw> utorrent + wine > azureus.
[08:32] <z0rz> so what's the best IDE for Ubuntu ?
[08:32] <linus004> miguelsr: go to www.getautomatix.com    they have an uninstall page that tells how to remove each program.
[08:32] <blarp> z0rz: Im partial to vim
[08:32] <z0rz> I want to be able to do C++, Java, and maybe some PHP
[08:32] <thedude> vhata: ok, it's intsalled, should I restart?
[08:32] <nathan_> ok, do init.d scripts use the same syntax as normal shell scripts?
[08:33] <Vhata> thedude: try logging back into Gnome again
[08:33] <thedude> ok
[08:33] <garryF> I've seen things like this before, where an installed driver or app works fine, until I reboot because the config didn't put the drivers in the start up scripts.
[08:33] <DeadlyTiga> jo
[08:33] <nathan_> so if i just want it to run this program as a service with no options, it'd just be a text file with the path to the program?
[08:33] <Ackeubu_> vhata as I said, they are little things. I have just started to find them missing thing by thing. and I dont really know what broke them. I have installed windowmanagers and other apps. continously and i dotn know when things started to get messed up... >P
[08:33] <DeadlyTiga> hi
[08:33] <blarp> nathan_: init.d scripts do whatever language you want -- mine do perl, for example
[08:34] <DeadlyTiga> is there anyone who has knowledge with 5.1 surroudn sound and nforce2 chipset?
[08:34] <z0rz> What's the best PDF reader for ubuntu?
[08:34] <Vhata> evince
[08:34] <blarp> KPDF
[08:34] <nathan_> do i have to tell the init script the path that the app should look in?
[08:34] <blarp> nathan_: yes
[08:34] <z0rz> Why do I always hate KDE/Gnome Specfic applications
[08:34] <nathan_> how do i do that? export PATH = $PATH:"/path" ?
[08:34] <thedude> vhata: if this doesn't work, should I look into getting the KDE version?
[08:35] <garryF> DeadlyTiga: I would go to a command line and run alsamixer to set those things like surround sound. There is probably an easier way via the gui but I forgot where.
[08:35] <Ackeubu_> Vhata: I thought they where missing because i didnt use gnome, but fluxobx or enlightenment. and when i got back to gnome, they didnt work there neither.. >P
[08:35] <z0rz> I feel as if they are just hastly put together and probably suck.. just because KDE primary focus is a windows manager .. not a PDF reader
[08:35] <Vhata> thedude: have a look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see if there were any error messages there that might tell us what's wrong?
[08:35] <blarp> nathan_: poe around and look at the apache2 start-up script
[08:35] <Vhata> Ackeubu_: I'm not really sure, then?
[08:35] <blarp> s/poe/poke/
[08:35] <thedude> vhata: when the splash screen is loading it says ppbuttonload failed
[08:35] <Ackeubu_> can i reinstall ubuntu without formating the drive?\
[08:36] <DeadlyTiga> garryF: i looked everywhere and tried everything with alsamixer, and when i run in a terminal "speaker -test" for 6ch it is perfect. but no programm uses 5.1 although i acticated it in the software
[08:36] <thedude> I think it said something like ppbuttonload, too fast for me to read
[08:47] <MZM> how to set environmental variables for Apache??
[08:47] <fyrestrtr> ask in #apache
[08:47] <thedude> vhata: I'm getting sound noqw
[08:47] <Vhata> thedude: so, a different error message?
[08:47] <Vhata> thedude: i.e. something was fixed?
[08:47] <DeadlyTiga> "speaker-test -c6 -D plug:surround51" is the command i use, there every single speaker makes the sound when he is called, but no where else i have 5.1 ./
[08:47] <thedude> vhata: same error 3 message, also "there was an eror starting Gnome Settings Daemon"
[08:47] <garryF> thedude: The other idea is if you can run a command line editor you might be able do do something like sudo editorname /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the driver to say "vesa" to at least get it started with a generic driver. Editors like Joe, vi, pico, etc.
[08:47] <MZM> fyrestrtr: from Apache manual: "... you must use the standard environment manipulation mechanisms provided by your operating system shell."
[08:47] <garryF> DeadlyTiga Hmm, that is very odd.
[08:47] <Vhata> garryF: you think it's a graphics problem?
[08:47] <thedude> garryF: that's a lot of stuff that I don't know how to do
[08:47] <fyrestrtr> MZM: that would be export VARNAME=value
[08:47] <Vhata> thedude: I have to get to work, bbiab
[08:47] <garryF> Vhata Might be, hasn't been ruled out.
[08:47] <blarp> MZM: that means you set them in the shell ... not apache
[08:47] <DeadlyTiga> for example i take amarok and use xine with alsa and surround 5.1 but i only have stereo 2.0 :)
[08:47] <fyrestrtr> lol @ stereo 2.0
[08:47] <garryF> thedude sec ...
[08:47] <gabber38209> does anyone here have any experience w/ connecting p2k motorola phones to linux?
[08:47] <Ackeubu_> Vhata: i just say someone speaking about gnome-settings-deamon, I ran it. and now my things work.. loool
[08:47] <MZM> fyrestrtr: yeah, on Gentoo it is /etc/env.d/apache, but uon Ubuntu???
[08:47] <blarp> =)
[08:47] <thedude> IDL:img.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0
[08:47] <DeadlyTiga> so i think there must be something missing that tells the software to use the 5.1
[08:47] <fyrestrtr> DeadlyTiga: maybe the software doesn't support it?
[08:47] <gabber38209> does anyone here have any experience w/ connecting p2k motorola phones to linux?
[08:47] <DeadlyTiga> but i am new to linux so no idea :) the closed source driver are worst
[08:47] <DeadlyTiga> well i have this in vlc, amarok, xmms, player, quod libet, unreal tournament 2004 :)
[08:47] <DeadlyTiga> and totem, too
[08:47] <miguelsr> some one know how do i do to erase o delete mozilla web broser?
[08:47] <Ackeubu_> where does gnome-settings-deamon store its values?
[08:47] <damnation> !wifi
[08:47] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[08:47] <stefg> !install
[08:47] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[08:47] <garryF> thedude at failsafe line do sudo pico /etc/X11/xorg.conf and find the line that say driver name in double quotes. Change it to say vga. Then Ctrl-s to save, then Ctrl-x to exit. Then try restarting gnome.
[08:47] <snooplsm> azureus notification tab never goes away, any fixes?
[08:47] <thedude> garryF: ok
[08:47] <DeadlyTiga> and when the preferences of a software have something like "surround 5.1" as a possibity to choose i think they supportit
[08:47] <garryF> thedude What video card do you have?
[08:47] <danf_1979> Who can find this package with aptitude? |aptitude search libcrypto++-dev|
[08:47] <danf_1979> I can install it, but not find it
[08:47] <danf_1979> is there any problem with the search sintax?
[08:47] <danf_1979> must I escape something in there?
[08:47] <thedude> garryF: if I remember it's ati rage or somethign like that
[08:47] <blarp> danf_1979: try apt-cache policy  libcrypto++-dev
[08:47] <blarp> ATI Rage128 -- just like mine thedude
[08:47] <thedude> yep, thanks
[08:47] <blarp> np
[08:47] <bll3r87> hello everyone
[08:47] <thedude> it's been so long since I've even touched this thing
[08:47] <bll3r87> I have a quick question, i tried both Movie Player and Xine, but i cant seem to get eathier one to play a DVD im trying to run
[08:47] <dazvid> Does anyone in here use a G15 keyboard?
[08:47] <blarp> 233MHz, I can imagine
[08:47] <bll3r87> id really hate to have to switch to my windows side to watch this DVD
[08:47] <stefg> !restricted > bll3r87
[08:47] <mercykiller> bll3r87: Try mplayer
[08:47] <danf_1979> is there any problem with the aptitude (or apt-get) search function? I ask this because I am coding a script that relies on aptitude findings...
[08:47] <danf_1979> :(
[08:47] <thedude> "dev/pmi doesn't exist" when I force it to load textbased
[08:47] <bll3r87> hm mplayer
[08:47] <bll3r87> ill try that
[08:47] <bll3r87> i tried VLC player too, that one works good with divx files
[08:47] <dazvid> danf_1979, its apt-cache search not apt-get
[08:47] <stefg> bll3r87: you need libdvdcss... w/o it NO player will play DVDs
[08:47] <danf_1979> yes, sorry
[08:47] <bll3r87> hm i got them
[08:47] <danf_1979> daniel@www:~$ apt-cache search libcrypto++-dev
[08:47] <danf_1979> daniel@www:~$
[08:47] <bll3r87> i checked the system packages
[08:47] <yoko-lap> ok, please help me.  I had 5.10 installed on my laptop and everything worked fine. I upgraded to dapper and it kept freezing up.  I downloaded the install CD and it kept freezing up at selecting the time zone
[08:47] <bll3r87> let me check out the mplayer
[08:47] <bll3r87> see what i can do with that
[08:47] <bll3r87> one second
[08:47] <stefg> !libdvdcss
[08:47] <ubotu> See http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html. Libdvdcss can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[08:47] <yoko-lap> I installed ubuntu with protected video mode or whatever the option is and now I am using a small square of my monitor
[08:47] <yoko-lap> it has an ati vid card that was supporter (or worked) in previous version
[08:47] <stefg> !fixres yoko-lap
[08:47] <ubotu> I know nothing about fixres yoko-lap - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[08:47] <yoko-lap> any suggestions
[08:47] <stefg> !fixres > yoko-lap
[08:47] <yoko-lap> not res
[08:47] <yoko-lap> more like fix ati driver
[08:47] <yoko-lap> as I think the system was crashing on the driver
[08:47] <mercykiller> bll3r87: You might also want to install win32codecs while you're at it.
[08:47] <blarp> to get X working on Debian (and maybe Ubuntu?) see http://dw.ccsh.us/doku.php?id=debian
[08:47] <yoko-lap> it's working kind of...
[08:47] <thedude> garryF: I loaded that conf file into pico, and it's blank
[08:47] <blarp> ouchies
[08:47] <stefg> yoko-lap: you have to tell the kernel to use a frambuffer resolution. Add something like vga=791 to your boot arguments
[08:47] <thedude> garryF: should I do it from root? or will that make a difference
[08:47] <yoko-lap> huh?
[08:48] <m3talc0re> hey
[08:48] <m3talc0re> i download and installed the Xubuntu and Kubuntu crap
[08:48] <garryF> thedude: No, it won't help. If your xorg.conf is blank it means it's missing. that is serious. I suggest you do what Vhata said and install breezy and then try upgrading to dapper.
[08:48] <m3talc0re> now, when i start up Ubuntu, the login screen stays as Kubuntu's
[08:48] <m3talc0re> how do i make it go back to Ubuntu's?
[08:49] <stefg> m3talc0re: sudo dpkg-reconfigure usplash
[08:50] <bll3r87> damn
[08:50] <bll3r87> it still wont work
[08:50] <bll3r87> i installed the libdvdread
[08:50] <bll3r87> and it still says it cant handle DVD's
[08:50] <mercykiller> hmmm
[08:50] <thedude> I got it, I must have typed somethign wrong
[08:51] <yoko-lap> stefg: so, all I have to do is insert the frambuffer in xorg.conf? or where?
[08:51] <garryF> Oh cool. thedude. Now find that ati driver and change to vesa. If I said vga I might have been wrong. It's been a long time.
[08:51] <yoko-lap> and that should take care of the problem?
[08:51] <ozubu> hi all
[08:51] <yoko-lap> because it was hanging/crashing on the part where I set up my time zone in the installer
[08:51] <ozubu> I have a question about hardware compatibility
[08:52] <ozubu> should I buy a SATA HD ? or IDE ?
[08:52] <geniusvicks> how many of u have used Dapper Drake??
[08:52] <Leafw> is there any way to tell the CD/DVD creator to create the CDs as multisession? I'd like to add files later
[08:52] <Leafw> !ubotu CD
[08:52] <garryF> Sata are faster.
[08:52] <ubotu> I know nothing about CD - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[08:52] <thedude> garryF: like where it says "atI", change it to "vesa"?
[08:52] <m3talc0re> i miss my 74gb raptor :(
[08:52] <ozubu> I heard there are problems with SATA's - is this correct with ubuntu ?
[08:52] <stefg> yoko-lap: no... sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst... find the lines starting with 'kernel'... add vga=791 to the end of those lines. Save and reboot
[08:52] <m3talc0re> i never had a problem with it ozubu
[08:52] <geniusvicks> What is better in Dapper Drake, I have Breezy Badger running should I bother installing DD over it?
[08:52] <garryF> thedude Yes, and if that don't work try vga instead.
[08:53] <snoops> never had a problem with my sata2's on nforce4 ozubu
[08:53] <yoko-lap> do I have to turn on monitor support?
[08:53] <thedude> garryF: ok
[08:53] <yoko-lap> or anything like that?
[08:53] <ozubu> m3talc0re, u think I won't have a problem installing on a sata ?
[08:53] <stefg> bll3r87: use easyubuntu to set everything up for you. i guess you made a mistake
[08:53] <snoops> oh I had a problem installing on sata because grub decided to install on the wrong hdd (an ide instead of sata)..
[08:53] <stefg> !easyubuntu > bll3r87
[08:53] <VanDaMe> i got problem setting primary n slave bind on ubuntu
[08:53] <snoops> anyway that's easy enough to fix..
[08:53] <snoops> !grub
[08:53] <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
[08:54] <VanDaMe> dumping master file permission denied
[08:54] <thedude> garryF: save is ^s?
[08:54] <VanDaMe> can someone help me ?
[08:54] <snoops> that recoveringubuntuafterinstallingwindows will fix that up
[08:54] <garryF> thedude Yes if you are using pico
[08:54] <nemsb> I back here..
[08:54] <garryF> then ^x to exit and restart
[08:54] <ozubu> snoops, so what should I buy ? I am buying a new pc and I quite embarced with all the hardware issues
[08:54] <nemsb> pilgrim: full time support for ubuntu?
[08:54] <snoops> oh definitely go with sata ozubu
[08:55] <thedude> garryF: it says "XDFF ignored, mumble mumble"
[08:55] <thedude> garryF: when I went to save
[08:55] <stefg> !hardware
[08:55] <ubotu> For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[08:55] <Vhata> I hate it when they mumble
[08:55] <yoko-lap> stefg: so I add it to this line?  kernel	/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 ro
[08:55] <ozubu> well, 10x, snoops
[08:55] <gabber38209> can someone help me w/ moto4lin?
[08:55] <azcazandco> pilgrim: repair disk only sees my firewire drive :(
[08:55] <nemsb> !squid
[08:55] <ubotu> I know nothing about squid - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[08:55] <snoops> 10 hdd's ozubu?
[08:55] <stefg> yoko-lap: yes... the display is 1024x768, right?
[08:55] <yoko-lap> yes
[08:55] <garryF> thedude Strange. Do the ctrl x then.
[08:56] <yoko-lap> but I have no refresh rate
[08:56] <stefg> ok, then vga=791
[08:56] <yoko-lap> and in 5.10 it supported up to 1400xwhatever
[08:56] <bobbyw> !women
[08:56] <ubotu> The women and men of the Ubuntu women project hang out in #ubuntu-women. Encouraging women to use linux? Read http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Encourage-Women-Linux-HOWTO/ for some suggestions compiled by women who use Linux on how to do so effectively.
[08:56] <garryF> thedude Then go in and see if the edit you did stayed.
[08:57] <thedude> garryF: ok, it did offer to save, let me recheck it to see if it appended
[08:57] <m3talc0re> wtf
[08:57] <yoko-lap> like I said, I used the safe graphics mode to install
[08:57] <m3talc0re> System>Administration>Login Window
[08:57] <thedude> garryF: yes it did
[08:57] <yoko-lap> so I don't think ubuntu loaded any drivers for my vidcard
[08:57] <garryF> It probably saved. You might be able to start gnome by doing ctrl-alt-backspace.
[08:57] <m3talc0re> it wont load!
[08:58] <garryF> thedude Oh and do exit to get out of the command line, or it might be logout.
[08:58] <stefg> yoko-lap: this means the vesa driver is used. to change that to a card-specific driver see !ati
[08:58] <dravas> I'm pretty new to Linux and I have lost my sound in Ubuntu after messing with Gnome Alsa Mixer what settings should I do to get my sound back
[08:58] <dravas> >_>
[08:58] <stefg> !sound
[08:58] <thedude> garryF: ok
[08:58] <ubotu> If sound is not working, first try system -> prefrences -> multimedia system selector change it to alsa. If you still have problems then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems
[08:59] <nemsb> how to add app
[08:59] <m3talc0re> anyone?
[08:59] <yoko-lap> !ati
[08:59] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:59] <nemsb> how to add app?
[08:59] <bobbyw> http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Encourage-Women-Linux-HOWTO/ why are you all not reading this/
[08:59] <nemsb> it must fill root password
[09:00] <nemsb> !samba
[09:00] <stefg> bobbyw: any particular reason you're in crusade mode right now?

[09:00] <bobbyw> crusade mode?
[09:00] <bobbyw> it's just funny
[09:00] <thedude> garryF: wow, that made it worse, let me switch it to "vga"
[09:00] <bobbyw> read 3.3
[09:00] <bobbyw> "Don't call people bitches"
[09:00] <garryF> thedude Ok
[09:00] <m3talc0re> nobody has a clue huh?
[09:01] <Vhata> we have clues.
[09:01] <m3talc0re> appearently not
[09:01] <Vhata> I can't even find the question you're asking
[09:01] <m3talc0re> System>Administration>Login Window, it wont load
[09:01] <m3talc0re> it just shows the status change for the mouse icon, it goes away and nothing happens
[09:02] <bobbyw> hmm?
[09:02] <Vhata> what is "Login Window" supposed to do?  is that like a terminal?
[09:02] <m3talc0re> no?
[09:02] <m3talc0re> trying to install a theme/login screen
[09:02] <Vhata> I don't know the new Ubuntu terminology
[09:02] <Bergcube> bobbyw~  I did read it a few years ago.  I was very not impressed.  The writer talked down to the reader in a very condescending way.  And worse it was very much focused on the small part of the world known as USA.  Perhaps it has some useful function to fill in that small part, but I am not sure.  In scandinavia there's no need to advocate like that; equal rights and opportunities are taken for granted and women come to Linux on their own accord.
[09:02] <xjl> hi, i install ubuntu in default language(english) and now i want to let it support another language how can i do?
[09:02] <m3talc0re> http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=43141
[09:03] <stefg> Vhata: https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/index.html
[09:03] <uniscript> !language
[09:03] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[09:03] <m3talc0re> Vhata, you get the link?
[09:04] <uniscript> xjl: look for the corresponding language-<lang> package in synaptec or wherever
[09:04] <bobbyw> Bergcube: and in many other countries people would stone you for talking about equal rights.
[09:04] <stefg> !offtopic
[09:04] <Bergcube> xjl~  System / Administartion / Language Support
[09:04] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[09:04] <rob> is the ubuntu mail forwarder having issues at the moment?
[09:04] <dravas> hooray
[09:05] <dravas> my sound is back
[09:05] <dravas> :D
[09:05] <garryF> Grats!
[09:05] <xjl> bergcube i want to use apt install
[09:05] <VanDaMe> heyyyyyyyyyyyy
[09:05] <bobbyw> what I don't get is why we need to ENCOURAGE women into linux.. it's there. if they want it, go for it. it's not like drugs where you try it and get hooked, and white males make big cash
[09:05] <xjl> how can i do it?
[09:05] <VanDaMe> help me plz
[09:05] <m3talc0re> small part of the world called USA?
[09:05] <uniscript> xjl: which language (2 letter code)
[09:05] <xjl> uniscript chinese
[09:05] <thedude> garryF: still just as bad
[09:05] <bobbyw> and even then, when was the last time you saw a drug addict/dealer going "come on dude, do it. smoke my stash. smoke it. now."
[09:06] <uniscript> xjl: mainland?
[09:06] <Vhata> m3talc0re: run 'gdmsetup' from a shell
[09:06] <m3talc0re> whah?
[09:06] <Bergcube> bobbyw~  Shouldn't you be ranting in #ubuntu-offtopic ?
[09:06] <uniscript> xjl: sudo apt-get install language-pack-zh
[09:06] <nemsb> im looking for vlc player in ubuntu
[09:07] <xjl> thanks
[09:07] <Vhata> m3talc0re: run a terminal?  then run 'sudo gdmsetup'
[09:07] <garryF> thedude Hmmm, it might be case sensitive. I would do what Vhata said, to get breezy and upgrade to dapper with that, or just stay with breezy. I liked it better than dapper.
[09:07] <snoops> sudo apt-get install vlc nemsb
[09:07] <bobbyw> Bergcube: I thought the topic here was linux. and stuff about linux. like women useing it
[09:07] <stefg> nemsb: http://nightlies.videolan.org
[09:07] <bobbyw> apt-get makes the whole process much easier.
[09:07] <caturOK> hello
[09:07] <stefg> !patience > VanDaMe
[09:07] <m3talc0re> Failed to connect to socket
[09:08] <caturOK> anybody here know about nocat configuration
[09:08] <m3talc0re> that's what it says
[09:08] <Vhata> garryF: stop accusing me of telling him to install breezy, that was somebody else ;-)
[09:08] <caturOK> help me plz
[09:08] <thedude> garryF: I think I'm going to just let this thing collect dust for a few more years,  it's not worth the agrivation
[09:08] <caturOK>  nocat plz
[09:08] <caturOK> ;)
[09:08] <m3talc0re> Could not access GDM configuration file.
[09:08] <garryF> thedude I might get whacked for saying so but I read that mephis linux has far better hardware detection than lots of distros.
[09:08] <uniscript> xjl: you'll also want: sudo apt-get install language-support-zh
[09:08] <thedude> garryF: thanks for your help
[09:08] <VanDaMe> wek caturOK ada disini juga :p
[09:08] <Vhata> thedude
[09:08] <garryF> Sorry Vhata I forgot how to spell the other person's name.
[09:08] <caturOK> wehehee
[09:08] <Vhata> thedude: hang on one sec
[09:08] <medfly> what do i need to install to be able to compile things?..
[09:08] <stefg> !build
[09:08] <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!)
[09:09] <caturOK> how about nocat
[09:09] <caturOK> anybody here ever configure that auth
[09:09] <medfly> thanks
[09:09] <garryF> thedude welcome. I hope you get ubuntu working. Once it works, its nice.
[09:09] <ttyfscker> what is up with ubuntu giving me some kind of crap about locales?  LC_ALL (unset) ???
[09:09] <caturOK> damn why nocat so confused for me
[09:10] <m3talc0re> no clue tty, ubuntu's given me a load of crap too
[09:10] <caturOK> hm
[09:10] <caturOK> nobody help me
[09:10] <caturOK> kill -1 nobody
[09:10] <caturOK> lol
[09:10] <garryF> Nolol
[09:10] <nemsb> im trying
[09:10] <Vhata> thedude: go back to that root terminal and install debsums
[09:11] <nemsb> error
[09:11] <nemsb> Reading package lists... Done
[09:11] <nemsb> Building dependency tree... Done
[09:11] <nemsb> E: Couldn't find package vlc
[09:11] <caturOK> hey
[09:11] <garryF> apt-get install debsubs
[09:11] <vortexvein> How do I add program shortcuts in the Applications Menu? Thank you to whoever in advance.
[09:11] <m3talc0re> Vhata, i tried "sudo gdmsetup" in Terminal and it told me it failed to connect to socket and Could not access GDM configuration file.
[09:11] <nemsb> i hate that error
[09:11] <caturOK> why u don't see www.ubuntuguide.org
[09:11] <thedude> vhata: ok
[09:11] <garryF> Oopse, he might need sudo before that.
[09:11] <Johnny> can someone help me with the installation process?
[09:12] <Johnny> everytime i get to 87% of installing the base system it quits on me
[09:12] <fyrestrtr> vortexvein: use the alacarte menu editor
[09:12] <caturOK> what u want apt-get
[09:12] <linuxboy> Johnny: dapper ?
[09:12] <caturOK> see www.ubuntuguide.org
[09:12] <Johnny> breezy
[09:12] <linuxboy> Johnny: oh. does it give any error messages ?
[09:12] <caturOK> why u not try to google
[09:12] <Johnny> i installed it last week and it worked fine
[09:12] <garryF> Hmmm, with so many having issues with installing, I wonder if the repositories are borked somehow.
[09:12] <Vhata> thedude: tell me when it's done
[09:12] <Johnny> but i didnt put enough swap so im reinstalling
[09:12] <Johnny> yea
[09:13] <ttyfscker> somebody tell me how to fix this dang locale crap..
[09:13] <caturOK> "sources.list"breezy
[09:13] <vortexvein> johnny - I had this same problem, I used a different linux disc to erase the partition and then used ubuntu installation again and it worked
[09:13] <Johnny> it says coulding install initr.d and to check the /var/log/syslog
[09:13] <Johnny> but i dont know what to look for
[09:13] <Johnny> or what to do
[09:13] <garryF> The servers were down for a day on weekend, there might still be issues.
[09:13] <vortexvein> try what I did Johnny
[09:13] <Johnny> yea vortexvein
[09:13] <ttyfscker> Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
[09:13] <ttyfscker>         Using the fallback 'C' locale.
[09:13] <Johnny> i have 5 cd's
[09:13] <Johnny> i keep switching to see if one will work
[09:13] <Johnny> none do
[09:14] <Johnny> i even used windows xp to erase all the partitions
[09:14] <thedude> garryF: that conf file will not come back up now, for me to even change back
[09:14] <FSK405C> anyone got a power pc supported hardware link?
[09:14] <vortexvein> oh, another thing I tried to do, Johnny, was that instead of using the entire disc for a new partition
[09:14] <Johnny> what am i supposed to look for in the /var/log/syslog?
[09:14] <vortexvein> I left alot of free space behind
[09:14] <vortexvein> and then thats what finally worked
[09:15] <garryF> thedude sudo pico /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:15] <Johnny> i've gone to every option
[09:15] <Johnny> like how much?
[09:15] <Johnny> a gig?
[09:15] <vortexvein> i gave ubuntu only 20 gigs
[09:15] <vortexvein> the rest i left free
[09:15] <Johnny> how much swap?
[09:15] <vortexvein> 1.2
[09:15] <Johnny> is that all?
[09:15] <trjones_> anyone know about a "configure: WARNING: FreeType is missing." erroe when installing wine?
[09:15] <Johnny> no lvm?
[09:15] <m3talc0re> don't look like i'm gettin' help
[09:15] <vortexvein> no lvm
[09:16] <nemsb> vortexvein: bigger than me
[09:16] <trjones_> i've looked everywhere
[09:16] <garryF> sounds like a missing font.
[09:16] <fyrestrtr> trjones_: read http://wiki.winehq.org/Recommended_Packages
[09:16] <Johnny> where did you put the free space vortexvein
[09:16] <Johnny> in the ubuntu partition
[09:16] <Johnny> or the swap area
[09:17] <vortexvein> I had 160 gigs on this disc, gave 20 gigs to an Ubuntu partition, 1.2 gigs for Swap (don't think this was necessary), and then the rest I left free space unpartitioned.
[09:17] <Johnny> or does it matter
[09:17] <thedude> vhata: what's the command to sintall the debsums?
[09:17] <Johnny> well im on a laptop
[09:17] <Vhata> thedude: aptitude install debsums
[09:17] <trjones_> fyrestrtr, ahah! thanks I think this is the fix
[09:17] <vortexvein> nemsb, I've been meaning too loose wieght if thats what you ment, haha
[09:17] <Johnny> and the hard drive is only 30gigs
[09:17] <trjones_> lemme give it a shot
[09:17] <Vhata> thedude: if you're not in a root shell, put 'sudo' before that
[09:17] <FSK405C> hey - can anyone refer me to a list of ppc supported hardware?
[09:17] <caturOK> don't forget sudo
[09:17] <nemsb> hehe
[09:17] <caturOK> how about my ques
[09:17] <thedude> vhata: did that
[09:18] <Vhata> thedude: installed now?
[09:18] <stipe> ugh when is ubuntu gonna have broadcom support?
[09:18] <nemsb> vortexvein: i mean swap file.. not my body..
[09:18] <caturOK> nobody here know about my ques
[09:18] <m3talc0re> hello, hello, hello
[09:18] <m3talc0re> this thing on?
[09:18] <vortexvein> haha
[09:18] <fyrestrtr> trjones_: I'm doing the exact same thing you are :)
[09:18] <vortexvein> I know nemsb.
[09:18] <Johnny> does it matter if its primary or logical vortexvein ?
[09:18] <thedude> vhata: forgot the aptitude
[09:18] <vortexvein> I used Primary
[09:18] <caturOK> jis
[09:18] <Johnny> or ext3 ?
[09:18] <nemsb> vortexvein: i have 2 G RAM
[09:18] <vortexvein> 512 , nemsb
[09:18] <thedude> vhata: ok, it's installed
[09:18] <nemsb> very with Xeon Dual Core
[09:18] <vortexvein> ext3 is important.
[09:19] <stipe> my ubuntu box in X ran like shit with 512mb
[09:19] <nemsb> very fast with Xeon Dual Core
[09:19] <vortexvein> I had ext3, primary partition, and logical for the swap
[09:19] <Vhata> thedude: what debsums does is, it checks all the files installed by a package to see if they've changed since it was installed
[09:19] <nemsb> stipe: use DDR2
[09:19] <thedude> ah
[09:19] <nemsb> stipe: much better
[09:19] <damnation> what program can be used to say... install ubuntu from windows? (just a random Q) like.. does virtual pc let you do that then reboot soley into a linux partition or can you not like vmware? i have nfi
[09:19] <fyrestrtr> stipe: it works very fast here with 512, and please, watch the language.
[09:19] <damnation> :P
[09:20] <Vhata> thedude: but you can only give it one package name at a time, so you have to list all packages on your machine first, and pass those to debsums
[09:20] <nemsb> vortexvein: better upgrade to 1G DDR2
[09:20] <garryF> I seem to rember some sort of command to reconfigure the video for gnome. Something that started with dpkg
[09:20] <stipe> nemsb: i was having serious lag problems. i had a 1.7 + 512mb. upgraded to a 2.8 1gb
[09:20] <stipe> HUGE difference
[09:20] <Vhata> thedude: the way to list all packages on your machine is 'dpkg -l', but that gives all sorts of extra info, too, which we don't want/need
[09:20] <medfly> stipe, same in here, i rarely use even half of that.
[09:20] <stipe> i could barley use X before. With 2 firefoxes open, xmms, and a couple of other apps
[09:20] <fyrestrtr> damnation: no, its not possible to do it from within Windows. Although you could choose to run it in a virtual machine (like vmware).
[09:20] <uniscript> damnation: I don't follow what you want to end up with? You want to run linux from within windows and direct boot?
[09:20] <fyrestrtr> garryF: dpk-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:20] <Vhata> thedude: so, we use:  dpkg-query -W -f '${Package}\n'
[09:21] <Vhata> thedude: that will just list the package names
[09:21] <vortexvein> nemsb: won't need it for this machine, I'm going to turn it into a machine only ment for n64, snes, MAME, and other old gaming.
[09:21] <stipe> medfly: you use gnome?
[09:21] <Vhata> thedude: then you send that list to debsums, like so:   dpkg-query -W -f '${Package}\n' | xargs debsums -c
[09:21] <nemsb> stipe: i don't know what to say
[09:21] <garryF> Yep, that's the one. dkpg-reconfigure xzerver-xorg
[09:21] <medfly> stipe, yes.
[09:21] <medfly> stipe, but i rarely open firefox more than twice, and i get upset when i have more than 5 tabs open
[09:21] <thedude> vhata: do you want me to type that in?
[09:21] <stipe> medfly: heh
[09:21] <damnation> yes uniq exactly that
[09:21] <fyrestrtr> are repo servers still having problems?
[09:21] <trjones_> fyrestrtr, did you have luck with those instructions?
[09:22] <damnation> ooops/...
[09:22] <damnation> uniscript :P
[09:22] <trjones_> fyrestrtr, it did not work for me
[09:22] <nemsb> vortexvein: i love open source cause easy to manage..no virus..
[09:22] <Vhata> thedude: I'm afraid so.  it'll give you a lot of output, but you're going to need to go through it bit by bit and see if it lists any files that look like they're something to do with bonobo
[09:22] <garryF> I would try it. Its already poked, can't be more poked than it is already.
[09:22] <fyrestrtr> trjones_: well, I am installing the packages right now. I have successfully compiled wine from scratch to run WoW before -- it can be done :)
[09:22] <nemsb> very stable
[09:22] <thedude> ok
[09:22] <trjones_> fyrestrtr, i assume your on amd64 also?
[09:23] <Vhata> thedude: I'm not sure if you're interested in debugging this and trying to work it out, or you just want to get something working
[09:23] <uniscript> damnation: ubuntu will happily co-exist with windows. Just defragment your windows drives and install, ubuntu will hold your hand
[09:23] <Vhata> thedude: by the way, we haven't checked your Xorg.0.log for errors yet, should probably do that first
[09:23] <damnation> i know it can, i just wondered if i can install while still logged into windows
[09:23] <nemsb> Vhata: can i install windows software in Breezy?
[09:23] <damnation> thanks though :)
[09:23] <thedude> vhata: ok
[09:23] <Vhata> nemsb: if you install wine
[09:23] <uniscript> nemsb: use wine, but get the latest version you can
[09:24] <Maroder> http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2006/07/25/ubuntu_goes_mainstream/
[09:24] <vortexvein> nemsb: yeah, this is only my 4th day on Ubuntu. I have very high hopes so far for this Arcade-Machine project
[09:24] <Vhata> thedude: are you still in that root shell?
[09:24] <thedude> yeah
[09:24] <garryF> thedude: Another idea from the xorg.conf file is try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[09:24] <Johnny> it didnt work vortexvein
[09:24] <FSK405C> any supported hardware lists available for ubunt?
[09:24] <Vhata> where's that noisy guy who demands help with his gdmsetup?
[09:24] <vortexvein> sorry Johnny
[09:24] <Vhata> m3talc0re
[09:24] <vortexvein> it took me awhile and a bunch of times too
[09:24] <Johnny> it says Unable to install initrd-tools   check /target/var/log/bootstrap.og
[09:24] <vortexvein> =(
[09:24] <Johnny> log
[09:24] <Vhata> thedude: type 'less /var/log/Xorg.0.log'
[09:24] <garryF> hehe
[09:25] <Johnny> do you know what that means?
[09:25] <Vhata> thedude: then go down to the bottom and see if there are any nasty errors
[09:25] <vortexvein> I don't know what it means for sure Johnny, you'd have to ask someone else,
[09:25] <ttyfscker> i fixed that freakin locales problem
[09:25] <Vhata> m3talc0re: are you just going to sit and whine about not getting help, or are you going to do what I suggested?
[09:25] <thedude> ok
[09:25] <snooplsm> how can I give my pc a network name
[09:25] <ttyfscker> wasnt good practice but it worked
[09:25] <garryF> Grats ttyfscker how did you do it?
[09:25] <snooplsm> it shows up blank on my router
[09:26] <ttyfscker> garryF:: id rather not say.. the chan ops will get aggrovated at the method i took to doing it
[09:26] <ttyfscker> ya know what i mean
[09:26] <Johnny> does  anyone know what to do on the installation when it cant install initrd-tools
[09:26] <fyrestrtr> no, 32
[09:26] <fyrestrtr> trjones_: how far did you get?
[09:26] <fyrestrtr> is anyone else having problems with the au archive servers?
[09:26] <Johnny> and it says to check /target/var/sys/bootstrap.log
[09:26] <garryF> ttyfscker Yeah, like ban ye for suggesting using the cli. ")
[09:26] <fyrestrtr> FSK405C: there is a list at the wiki
[09:26] <ttyfscker> haha
[09:26] <FSK405C> hrm
[09:26] <ttyfscker> yea garryF something like that..
[09:26] <FSK405C> okies, looking - thanks for pointer
[09:27] <garryF> ttyfscker Oh no, I used the three letter C word.
[09:27] <[FP2] ReDuX> morning. had a quick simple question if I may.
[09:27] <thedude> vhata: one warning, no errors
[09:27] <fyrestrtr> three letter C word? C++ ?
[09:27] <Vhata> fyrestrtr: CLI
[09:27] <garryF> cli
[09:27] <fyrestrtr> what is so bad about cli?
[09:27] <Vhata> thedude: what was the warning?  (just a summary, don't worry typing the whole thing out)
[09:27] <fyrestrtr> I lurve cli.
[09:28] <garryF> its an old story.
[09:28] <fyrestrtr> ah
[09:28] <thedude> vhtata: missing a font
[09:28] <FSK405C> also if anyone has a q3/ubuntu/audio/punkbuster/teamspeak tutorial that'd be great too. on default it was borked for a friend of mine and any tips on getting that sort of thing working would be appreciated as we've exhausted web resources and tried just about everything with no success :D
[09:28] <garryF> Oh if that font is cyrillic, ignore that.
[09:28] <thedude> that be it
[09:29] <Vhata> thedude: I really doubt that's the problem, yeah
[09:29] <FSK405C> more specifically - the audio driver was claiming to be in use by one app and wouldn't allow another to access it - which means it wasn't running duplexed - how to enable such functionality? again a url or any sort of advice is welcome :D
[09:29] <trjones_> fyrestrtr, I don't think i had quite everything from the debian list so I'm trying again
[09:29] <Vhata> thedude: this vexes me.
[09:29] <trjones_> fyrestrtr, you have any luck?
[09:29] <Vhata> thedude: I am, in fact, vexed
[09:29] <garryF> thedude: Another idea from the xorg.conf file is try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[09:29] <thedude> haha
[09:29] <thedude> tried that
[09:29] <garryF> Or hexed
[09:29] <thedude> didn't get to test it thogh
[09:29] <thedude> though*
[09:30] <garryF> A restart might be in order to see if it fixed it.
[09:30] <thedude> ok
[09:30] <garryF> Even purplexed
[09:30] <thedude> oh shit, I didn't relize that this error log could be scrolled
[09:30] <nemsb> my line so slow
[09:31] <nemsb> have a lot of IPS
[09:31] <thedude> 2 errors
[09:31] <garryF> np, its not obvious that it can be scrolled
[09:31] <thedude> "end of block range"
[09:31] <thedude> and some vga stuff
[09:31] <garryF> restart time.
[09:31] <Vhata> thedude: 'G' I think will take you right to the end
[09:31] <garryF> get fresh slate.
[09:32] <thedude> ok
[09:32] <Vhata> thedude: how's it looking?
[09:33] <trjones_> fyrestrtr, still no luck... i give up for tonight...
[09:33] <thedude> restarting/loading splash screen right now
[09:34] <fyrestrtr> is anyone else having problems reaching au archive servers?
[09:35] <fyrestrtr> FSK405C: see !dmix
[09:35] <thedude> vhata: no change
[09:35] <thedude> should I bring that error log back up?
[09:35] <FSK405C> copy that fyre - thanks again. you are quite the helpful one =] 
[09:36] <Vhata> thedude: did you go right back down to the bottom of the error log and see if there were any real errors?
[09:36] <thedude> yeah, 2 vga errors and the last one said "screen(s) not found"
[09:36] <Vhata> erm.  ah.
[09:36] <fyrestrtr> thedude: what are you trying to fix?
[09:36] <Vhata> thedude: I like garryF's idea of:  sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[09:37] <thedude> ubunto on a g3 imac from a fresh install
[09:37] <garryF> Yeah, yet he tried that, and it didn't help.
[09:38] <xjl> i want to let the system support chinese language i don't know which package should i install
[09:38] <garryF> thedude: IF you know how to pastebin, might try pasting your xorg.conf and let folks have a look.
[09:39] <thedude> unfortuneatly that computer is not on the internet
[09:39] <uniscript> xjl: you'll also need sudo apt-get install language-support-zh
[09:39] <fyrestrtr> xjl: sudo apt-get install language-pack-zh language-pack-gnome-zh (or language-pack-kde-zh)
[09:39] <uniscript> sorry I mentioned it after you had gone
[09:39] <thedude> I'm too far from the router, I'm wireless on this one
[09:39] <uniscript> the language pack is merely translations, the language-support is the fonts, keyboards etc.
[09:40] <uniscript> fyrestrtr: I think language-pack depends on language-pack-gnome
[09:40] <xjl>  uniscript sorry i not use ubuntu now i use slackware
[09:40] <uniscript> then go to a slackware forum
[09:40] <fyrestrtr> uniscript: hrmm, would make sense.
[09:40] <dravas> how do I find my pass for su su: Authentication failure
[09:40] <xjl> yes i find it but no result
[09:40] <fyrestrtr> dravas: its your own user password
[09:40] <damnation> how much hdd space should i partition for ubuntu, im using the single CD install
[09:40] <dravas> ok
[09:40] <fyrestrtr> dravas: and use sudo
[09:40] <uniscript> xjl: or install ubuntu ;)
[09:41] <garryF> I wonder what the apt command for reinstalling xorg and gnome would be.
[09:41] <xjl> yes i install ubuntu in my notebook
[09:41] <fyrestrtr> damnation: 20 GB should be enough, 4 GB is minimum required (not including swap).
[09:41] <damnation> or in other words how much should i give to ubuntu at least, space-wise
[09:41] <uniscript> damnation: for a comfortable life min 5GB
[09:41] <damnation> i see...
[09:41] <thedude> another warning: cannot shadow an accelerated frame buffer
[09:41] <xjl> ubuntu need more resources so in my old PC i install slackware
[09:41] <fyrestrtr> garryF: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg ubuntu-desktop
[09:41] <damnation> thanks :)
[09:41] <axyjo> hey, i reinstalled ubuntu on my pc so what should i install, automatix or easyubuntu?
[09:41] <Vhata> xjl: install language-pack-zh
[09:42] <uniscript> xjl: and you want chinese in X on an old slow low RAM machine. I think not
[09:42] <fyrestrtr> axyjo: why do you need either of them?
[09:42] <thedude> a bunch of wacom errors
[09:42] <xjl> i only want to let firefox display chinese website.
[09:42] <garryF> thedude:  Might try what fyrestrtr says. ....    sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg ubuntu-desktop
[09:42] <fyrestrtr> thedude: those you can ignore.
[09:42] <axyjo> fyrestrtr: my question is what do they each do?
[09:42] <uniscript> xjl: try puppylinux and find a chinese plugin there
[09:43] <fyrestrtr> thedude: for some reason, ubuntu writes the config in X for wacom tablets.
[09:43] <fyrestrtr> axyjo: they automate installation of common things (like audio and video codecs, java, flash, etc)
[09:43] <garryF> People have been having issues with both scripts unfortunately.
[09:43] <fyrestrtr> !automatix
[09:43] <ubotu> Automatix is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. For help with and discussion of automatix please join #automatix.
[09:43] <xjl> where ? can you give URL?
[09:43] <fyrestrtr> !easyubuntu
[09:43] <ubotu> easyubuntu is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. See http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ ; for help and discussion of easyubuntu please join #easyubuntu.
[09:43] <axyjo> !easyubuntu
[09:43] <axyjo> so they are the same thing?
[09:44] <kakalto> if I had ubuntu previously installed, and I just installed a new network card, what could I do to get it running?
[09:44] <Vhata> if they were the same thing, they would have the same name
[09:44] <fyrestrtr> no, but they do the same type of function.
[09:44] <fyrestrtr> its best to follow the wiki and do things "manually"
[09:44] <thedude> the only other error says "end of block range" with some hexidecimal after it
[09:44] <garryF> easyubuntu is simpler, automatix is more complicated but more options. I agree with fyrestrtr. Use the wikis
[09:44] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: well, first you would need to find out if it was detected properly.
[09:44] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: ok, which is done with lspci?
[09:44] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: easy way to find that out, is to open the gnome-network-manager and see if your new card is there :)
[09:45] <axyjo> sorry.. didnt catch whatever was last said
[09:45] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: lspci will just detect what is in the system, not necessarily what will work. For example, it will show you an unsupported winmodem.
[09:45] <kakalto> ah, true
[09:45] <kakalto> argh
[09:45] <kakalto> uhm
[09:45] <DrBashir> Hi
[09:46] <kakalto> it's kubuntu, btw. suppose I should /really/ just go over to #kubuntu ._.
[09:46] <kakalto> hi, DrBashir
[09:46] <thedude> i tried the apt-get and it says it's already the newest version
[09:46] <garryF> axyjo: both scripts do automation, but there have been bugs in both. Automatix is more complicated, more options and more fun ways to mess stuff up.
[09:47] <DrBashir> I'm having trouble starting from CD, I've tried graphical safe mode, but it keeps ending up with a black screen :
[09:47] <DrBashir> :|
[09:47] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: well, some stuff is common. kde, gnome, xfce are all just gui interfaces. They are really independent of the base linux system. Sure each has their own specific tools that are great (like k3b for burning cds) but the cli is the great equalizer :)
[09:47] <garryF> try reinstall instead of install
[09:47] <garryF> thedude:  Might try what fyrestrtr says. ....    sudo apt-get reinstall xserver-xorg ubuntu-desktop
[09:47] <kakalto> DrBashir: yeah, but I doubt I'll get CLI instructions for what I'm wanting
[09:48] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: if you are nice, you just might ;)
[09:48] <DrBashir> kakalto... huh?
[09:48] <fyrestrtr> thedude: how is it coming along?
[09:48] <garryF> might see what ifconfig says.
[09:48] <thedude> reinstall is not a valid command
[09:49] <fyrestrtr> thedude: what are the EE lines that you get in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[09:49] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: yeah? pretty please, CLI =P
[09:49] <fyrestrtr> errm, sorr /var/log/xorg.0.log
[09:49] <DrBashir> Maybe this helps (or not) I have an Ati X800
[09:49] <fyrestrtr> or is it Xorg.0.log, I forgot.
[09:49] <kakalto> DrBashir: I'm wanting to get a network card working.
[09:50] <dravas> How do I install VMWare
[09:50] <garryF> I think you are right, its xorg.0.log
[09:50] <DrBashir> oh...
[09:50] <medfly> can i do anything about that my graphics card manufacturer doesnt like xorg? like link the xfree86 dirs to the xorg ones? will that work? :o)
[09:50] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: first thing, what kind of network card is it?
[09:50] <fyrestrtr> medfly: what card do you have?
[09:50] <thedude> fyrestrtr: none in the conf
[09:50] <fyrestrtr> !vmware
[09:50] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository. Instructions to install VMWare Server can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingVMWare
[09:51] <medfly> fyrestrtr, a via unichrome S3 pro
[09:51] <fyrestrtr> thedude: yeah, that was a mistake, they will be in the log file
[09:51] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: 3com 10/100 card..
[09:51] <medfly> medfly, i downloaded the source for the driver from their website.
[09:51] <fyrestrtr> medfly: that should work.
[09:51] <m3talc0re> good lord
[09:51] <medfly> medfly, thank you
[09:51] <m3talc0re> kopete took forever and a day to list all the names and crap
[09:51] <medfly> why am i writing my own nick?
[09:51] <thedude> just the wacom errors, and that "end of block range" error
[09:51] <DrBashir> Ok, so how do I get to run Ubuntu?
[09:51] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: 3c905, it seems
[09:52] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: okay, next thing type dmesg | grep eth -- see if your new card is detected there.
[09:52] <fyrestrtr> medfly: why?
[09:52] <medfly> medfly, because when i look at something i see something else :-)
[09:52] <kevinz> Hello, bittorrent and edonkey is blocked by my isp, what is some possible alternatives for p2p file sharing?
[09:52] <garryF> lack of sleep?
[09:53] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: want the whole line? it's detected eth1.
[09:53] <fyrestrtr> thedude: okay, can you be a bit more specific?
[09:53] <medfly> probably. thats what happens when i dont get my good 12 hours sleep on time ;)
[09:53] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: no, that's enough for me.
[09:53] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: now type ifconfig -a -- do you see a eth1 there?
[09:54] <thedude> fyrestrtr: with the end of block range error?
[09:54] <fyrestrtr> kevinz: direct connect?
[09:54] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: eth1 is there, yup
[09:54] <fyrestrtr> thedude: yeah
[09:54] <garryF> I'm not sure thedude.
[09:54] <kevinz> fyrestrtr: hmm, i don't care
[09:54] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: okay, does your network have dhcp?
[09:54] <DrBashir> Can I try the 32bit version on my AMD64?
[09:54] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: yes.
[09:54] <fyrestrtr> !p2p > kevinz
[09:54] <axyjo> is xfdc faster than gnome and do all gnome applications run on it?
[09:55] <garryF> Oh thedude Do you have shadow ram option in your cmos? If its there, turn it off.
[09:55] <kevinz> fyrestrtr: thanks
[09:55] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: type sudo ifconfig eth1 up
[09:55] <garryF> I remember, you mentioned an error about shadow ram.
[09:55] <fyrestrtr> DrBashir: yes, it should work.
[09:55] <DrBashir> thanks fyrestrtr
[09:55] <DrBashir> i'll give that a go
[09:55] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: I get no output.... and it's not working.
[09:55] <garryF> sometimes it's called copy video bios to ram. It was in use when ram was faster than rom.
[09:56] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: hold on a sec, now type ifconfig
[09:56] <DrBashir> bless my 20mbit connection, less then 5 minutes to download a new image
[09:56] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: how many interfaces do you see there?
[09:56] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: eth1 and lo.
[09:56] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: eth1 has a 169.something address
[09:57] <kevinz> Hello. Is it possible to use input method (like scim) in kde programs (under Ubuntu)?
[09:57] <axyjo> !xdfc
[09:57] <ubotu> I know nothing about xdfc - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[09:57] <uniscript> kevinz: yes
[09:57] <axyjo> !xfdc
[09:57] <ubotu> I know nothing about xfdc - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[09:57] <kakalto> kevinz: yup
[09:57] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: then it seems to be working fine.
[09:57] <garryF> thedude If you have shadow ram turned on, in cmost, it should probably be turned off for linux. I seem to remember you said something about an error about shadow ram.
[09:57] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: it shouldn't have a 169.254 address.
[09:57] <kevinz> oh but how to enable it
[09:57] <DrBashir> 169.254 adresses == bad
[09:57] <garryF> thedude er cmos
[09:57] <thedude> how do I turn that off?
[09:57] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: it should have a 192.168, assigned by my router.
[09:57] <axyjo> !XFCE
[09:57] <ubotu> Xubuntu is Ubuntu with XFCE, for more info, see http://www.xubuntu.org. To install from Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[09:58] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: 169.254.blah.blah is an automated address assigned when dhcp fails.
[09:58] <axyjo> is XFCE faster than gnome and do gnome applications run on it?
[09:58] <kevinz> uniscript: so could you teach me how to activate the input method for kde programs.. it currently doesn't work for amarok
[09:58] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: that's what I thought
[09:58] <medfly> axyjo, its faster than gnome, yes
[09:58] <garryF> thedude Reboot, get into the setup, the bios stuff, it should tell you how to enter your bios setup menus. Sometimes its F2 pressing while the memory is counting up.
[09:58] <uniscript> kevinz: Try installing skim
[09:58] <thedude> it won't let me back into that error log even in root
[09:58] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: am I meant to install some dhcp package?
[09:59] <thedude> ok
[09:59] <InvisiblePinkUni> when i'm trying to install dapper on IBM Raid machine it shows 2 disks and asks me to partition them?
[09:59] <axyjo> do gnome applications run on it?
[09:59] <InvisiblePinkUni> they are already mirrored.
[09:59] <uniscript> kevinz: scim and kde are only marginally friendly. I'm no kde expert. But try right clicking to get a context menu and choose scim input
[09:59] <uniscript> kevinz: but many apps don't support scim at all well
[10:00] <InvisiblePinkUni> !raid
[10:00] <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
[10:00] <fyrestrtr> yeah dhcp-client
[10:00] <axyjo> thedude: sometimes its also the delete key
[10:00] <garryF> !ati > thedude
[10:00] <thedude> the imac dosen't have a del key
[10:01] <DrBashir> its going to take longer to burn the CD then to download ^^
[10:01] <garryF> backspace?
[10:01] <thedude> and f2 doesn't worl
[10:01] <thedude> yeah I'll try that
[10:01] <garryF> Hmmm, sec ....
[10:01] <yacek19> hi
[10:01] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: is the 3com driver not working or something?
[10:01] <yacek19> are there any packages for dapper with e17??
[10:01] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: is it possible that it's trying to use the wrong driver?
[10:01] <thedude> nothing
[10:01] <fyrestrtr> brb
[10:02] <InvisiblePinkUni> why does Dapper not recognize my IBM Raid? Any work arounds for RAID?
[10:02] <kakalto> yacek19: heard of the easy e17 cvs script?
[10:02] <nemsb> kakalto: maybe wrong version, i think
[10:02] <yacek19> no, I am looking for unofficial packages
[10:03] <kakalto> yacek19: not sure about that. but there's quite possibly a repo around somewhere
[10:03] <axyjo> do gnome applications run on xfce?
[10:03] <kakalto> nemsb: any ideas how to fix it?
[10:03] <caturOK> how to look user want to register
[10:03] <caturOK> nocat plz
[10:03] <ubuntu_> hi guys
[10:03] <uniscript> axyjo: with the right libraries installed, yes
[10:03] <garryF> thedude here is a possible fix ...
[10:03] <garryF> https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/24810
[10:03] <garryF> go into the responses/comments and download the r128_cceidle.diff file and follow his instructions.
[10:03] <garryF> Using "glxgears -printfps" I went from 30 FPS to 300 FPS, and now am quite happy with my rendering capabilities. Still too slow for awesome penguin racing, but it does work now.
[10:04] <thedude> I give up, I'm going to try the kubuntu tomorow, and if that doesn't work this thing is getting scrapped
[10:04] <prwlr> how can i access my ext3 partition using cygwin?
[10:04] <nemsb> kakalto: u use pci card or built in?
[10:04] <garryF> Kubuntu uses the same xorg, you'd have hte same issue.
[10:04] <kakalto> nemsb: pci
[10:04] <ubuntu_> Thedude what issue ur having?
[10:04] <garryF> google for imac ati dapper and I found all kinds of info.
[10:04] <ubuntu_> if u dont mind plz?
[10:05] <nemsb> kakalto: i suggest u find the number above the chip set
[10:05] <axyjo> uniscript: what libraries would that be?
[10:05] <nemsb> then search in google
[10:05] <axyjo> !fluxbox
[10:05] <ubotu> fluxbox is a lightweight and responsive window manager for GNU/Linux. For how to set it up and more information see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fluxbox
[10:05] <thedude> ubuntu: I get errors from a fresh install on a g3 imac, "error 3" and then nothing loads
[10:05] <nemsb> every chip set has different number
[10:05] <uniscript> axyjo: the app package will have the necessary dependencies on the library packages it needs. Generally libgnome type stuff
[10:05] <Sokatoah> Do Ubuntu or Kubuntu support intel graphics chipsets out of the box? I've been having issues getting X to run on mandrake
[10:05] <garryF> The standard thing about display not found when something is wrong and gdm can't start.
[10:05] <ubuntu_> Sokatoah, yep they do
[10:06] <kakalto> hmm.
[10:06] <kakalto> nemsb: yeah, will look
[10:06] <Sokatoah> cool, thanks
[10:06] <axyjo> uniscript: so i dont have to worry about it when installing the applications through apt-get or synaptic?
[10:06] <_jacky_> how to add my packages to ubuntu cd and install to hardware by default?
[10:06] <uniscript> axyjo: nope
[10:06] <thedude> ubuntu_: I get errors from a fresh install on a g3 imac, "error 3" and then nothing loads, along with nautilus errors
[10:06] <kakalto> nemsb: perhaps I should try on the forums?
[10:07] <ubuntu_> tried xorconf?
[10:07] <nemsb> kakalto: maybe they can help u
[10:07] <garryF> xorgconf
[10:07] <axyjo> uniscript: how do i completely remove gnome then without uninstallling the libraries for the software i want?
[10:07] <_jacky_> how to add my packages to ubuntu cd and install to harddisk by default?
[10:08] <uniscript> axyjo: I *think* you just uninstall gnome-desktop. I'll look...
[10:08] <garryF> Unless you have dialup, its cheaper to just use the online repositories because your cd copy will be obsolete as soon as updates come out.
[10:08] <ubuntu_> _jacky_, i dont get it :(
[10:08] <_jacky_> :(
[10:09] <alva> how can I mount a floppy drive in Dapper?

[10:10] <nemsb> maybe u can find ur answer
[10:10] <thedude> well thanks for everyone's help, but I'm giving up on this
[10:10] <Alpha232> eww who parted
[10:11] <ubuntu_> alva,  mount /media/floppy

[10:11] <axyjo> Alpha232: XDXDXD
[10:11] <thedude> it's ok
[10:12] <uniscript> axyjo: try getting rid of gnome-desktop-data and all its dependents since it's not dependent on anything gnomish
[10:13] <garryF> Sorry we could not solve it so far.
[10:13] <uniscript> axyjo: but you may need to do that while not running gnome
[10:13] <uniscript> axyjo: and you'll probably lose lots of gnome apps
[10:13] <axyjo> so first i install xubuntu-desktop then uninstall gnome-desktop-data?
[10:13] <garryF> that was for thedude
[10:13] <thedude> it's alright, I might pop on tomorow night and see if anyone came up with anything
[10:13] <uniscript> axyjo: but you can reinstall the ones you want afterwards?
[10:13] <axyjo> uniscript: yes i can
[10:13] <garryF> I saw some stuff on goggle, did you see it?
[10:13] <axyjo> uniscript: how do i remove dependants from apt-get?
[10:14] <kakalto> nemsb: I just googled it, am trying some ideas other ubuntu users managed to fix it with
[10:14] <axyjo> cause it usually only removes it package itself
[10:14] <garryF> thedude https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/24810
[10:15] <uniscript> axyjo: you could try using synaptec

[10:15] <axyjo> uniscript: but i thought synaptic is only for gnome
[10:15] <thedude> thanks, I'll have a look at it
[10:15] <axyjo> or is it for Xfce too?
[10:15] <ubuntu_> axyjo, nope

[10:22] <garryF> It should auto-mount
[10:23] <ubuntu_> alva,  try this type >> cat /etc/fstab | grep floppy
[10:23] <ubuntu_> as root
[10:23] <ubuntu_> see anything?
[10:23] <bilss_> hi
[10:23] <garryF> thanks ubuntu_ I have two linuxes, and the fstab is slighty different. It makes for much confusion when I try to remember.
[10:24] <alva> bash: cat: Permission denied
[10:24] <alva> garryF, how can I access my floppy drive?
[10:24] <garryF> put sudo before it and retry.
[10:24] <alva> garryF, I did, same message
[10:24] <bilss_> gregg_  hi yesterday you gave me a ./foward command that was incorrect i have the correct line now thanks
[10:24] <ubuntu_> np
[10:24] <alva> sudo type >> cat /etc/fstab | grep floppy says bash: cat: Permission denied
[10:25] <alva> does any1 know how I can I access my floppy drive in Dapper?
[10:25] <ubuntu_> alva,  u have to type that command as root
[10:25] <bilss_> ompal: hi take it easy
[10:25] <garryF> Ye mean he has to try su instead of su?
[10:25] <ubuntu_> become a su
[10:25] <wthww6> hello hello
[10:25] <garryF> er sudo
[10:25] <ubuntu_> sudo should work
[10:25] <Brokenstein> can anybody recommend an faq for installing packages not found in synaptic?
[10:25] <ubuntu_> garry is right
[10:25] <garryF> It didn't
[10:26] <garryF> Oh, maybe his user has no permissions to use floppy?
[10:26] <ubuntu_> root should have atleast
[10:26] <ubuntu_> if users dont
[10:26] <garryF> nm, sudo should have gotten that.
[10:27] <alva> does any1 know how I can I access my floppy drive in Dapper?  I type: sudo type >> cat /etc/fstab | grep floppy and it says no permission
[10:27] <ubuntu_> i hope alava did not type as  sudo type cat /etc/fstab | grep floppy
[10:27] <ubuntu_> dang it
[10:27] <ubuntu_> u dont have to type type
[10:27] <alva> ubuntu_, any advice?
[10:28] <ubuntu_> command is sudo cat /etc/fstab | grep floppy
[10:28] <wthww6> i got my Ubuntu Cds in the mail today. w00t
[10:28] <amarokker> wthww6: Do'h - i have to wait for about 6 weeks :(
[10:29] <wthww6> heh, the sticker you get are a nice touch
[10:29] <wthww6> *stickers
[10:29] <alva> ubuntu_, thatg works, thanks
[10:29] <alva> my floppy works now
[10:29] <alva> ty :)
[10:29] <ubuntu_> alva yw
[10:29] <garryF> Yay Ubuntu_
[10:29] <amarokker> wthww6: bumper stickers? :P
[10:29] <wthww6> lol
[10:29] <alva> i just installed Dapper, how do I get it to make sure its updated?
[10:30] <amarokker> wthww6: o
[10:30] <mog_home> hi
[10:30] <fyrestrtr> alva: it does that by itself, it will notify you of updates.
[10:30] <wthww> ahh, better
[10:30] <amarokker> wthww6: i'd downloaded a cd - it took me about 24 hours...and it wont boot.
[10:30] <mog_home> im trying to load a usb device
[10:30] <garryF> If you have net access it will check in about 3 minutes from booting automatically.
[10:30] <mog_home> that requests firmware
[10:30] <chemaja> is it in the spirit of ubuntu to !rtfm?
[10:30] <amarokker> thats why i am waiting on canonical to deliver
[10:30] <user-land> Hello, i reinstalled Ubuntu about 10 times now, and always get the 'Error activating XKB configuration.' What should i do ?
[10:30] <wthww> lol. im on dial-up and download 5. something and it worked
[10:30] <garryF> no its rtfw
[10:30] <alva> fyrestrtr, i just installed Dapper, how come its telling me I need 130 updates?
[10:30] <Schalken> is there a frontend for grub configuration?
[10:30] <mog_home> tv402u, but it keeps spitting out this error  go7007: error transferring firmware
[10:31] <mog_home> the firmware is there
[10:31] <mog_home> i dont know why it keeps doing this
[10:31] <garryF> or rtow read the outdated wikis.
[10:31] <mog_home> it works on my ppc ubuntu box
[10:31] <mog_home> just not my x86 one
[10:31] <fyrestrtr> alva: because you do need them.
[10:31] <garryF> and guess which one is up0-to-date. j/k
[10:31] <fyrestrtr> Schalken: no
[10:31] <wthww> question:ubuntu on mac, is the cd bootable on mac
[10:31] <wthww> ?
[10:32] <ubuntu_> back
[10:32] <ubuntu__> I booted kubuntu from live cd how do i install it pls????????????
[10:32] <ubuntu_> ny1 coffe?
[10:32] <garryF> I've noted sometimes my memstick is mistaken for a camera.
[10:32] <alva> fyrestrtr, takes 5 days on modem :P
[10:32] <fyrestrtr> yeap :)
[10:32] <ubuntu__> I booted kubuntu from live cd how do i install it pls????????????
[10:32] <garryF> Should be an install option under one of hte menus.
[10:32] <fyrestrtr> ubuntu__: #kubuntu
[10:32] <user-land> fyrestrtr: is it possible this would go away if i restarted with a fresh home directory ?
[10:32] <ubuntu__> where is hte menu??
[10:32] <fyrestrtr> user-land: what would?
[10:33] <wthww> lol
[10:33] <garryF> he gets an error activating xkb configuration.
[10:33] <user-land> fyrestrtr: i reinstalled Ubuntu about 10 times now, and always get the 'Error activating XKB configuration.' What should i do ?
[10:33] <ubuntu__> garrF: where is HTE menu install option?
[10:33] <fyrestrtr> user-land: if you've resintalled it, you don't need to worry about home directory.
[10:34] <ubuntu_> what is xfb config
[10:34] <ubuntu__> garrF: k found it
[10:34] <wthww> One very big credit to ubuntu: it made all of the local schools computers a lot less maintence prone
[10:34] <user-land> fyrestrtr: i used an existing home dir always now.
[10:34] <WhiteNinja> how about 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' manually? that would get rid off the xkd-errors, too *i guess
[10:34] <garryF> :)
[10:34] <Maroder> hello i have a question
[10:34] <user-land> what is your question, maroder ?
[10:34] <Maroder> on kubuntu 6.06
[10:35] <mog_home> anybody
[10:35] <garryF> !xkd
[10:35] <ubotu> I know nothing about xkd - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[10:35] <garryF> !xkb
[10:35] <ubotu> I know nothing about xkb - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[10:35] <Maroder> my X server nolisten on any port
[10:35] <Maroder> ps output :
[10:35] <Maroder>  6355 tty7     Ss+    0:12 /usr/bin/X -br -nolisten tcp :0 vt7 -auth /var/run/xauth/A:0-YghoYc
[10:35] <user-land> whiteninja, i get the same error after that.
[10:35] <wthww> on cd shipping date: mine took liked, 3 weeks
[10:35] <Maroder> i edit /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc
[10:36] <Maroder> and remove option -nolisten tcp
[10:36] <Maroder> after that i restart kdm X ...
[10:36] <Maroder> but X again running with option -nolisten
[10:36] <Maroder> any idea ?
[10:37] <Maroder> user-land ?
[10:37] <user-land> yes, maroder ?
[10:37] <garryF> My guess is maybe its an x keyboard configuration. if you got the gui up try System/preferences/keyboard and set something there. Maybe that will make it go away user-land.
[10:37] <user-land> no, unfortunately i only know little.
[10:37] <Maroder> user-land see up
[10:39] <ubuntu_> nothing like a hot cup of coffee :)
[10:39] <garryF> A huge mug of hot coffee
[10:39] <ubuntu_> garryF, haha
[10:39] <garryF> gallon sized
[10:39] <user-land> thank you, garryf. i will try a reboot after that and the ongoing upgrade.
[10:39] <ubuntu_> bigger the better eh?
[10:39] <garryF> user-land welcome
[10:40] <garryF> Well, I could put myself in the washer in hot cycle and shrink then the cup would be plenty.
[10:41] <echylo> haha
[10:41] <echylo> sounds like a plan
[10:41] <uniscript> isn't that a catch 22 because you woudl be too big for your washer
[10:41] <garryF> Probably why they named the kde music player kaffiene cause he played music to wake up.
[10:41] <ubuntu_> lol
[10:41] <garryF> I'd have to use a sauna tent then.
[10:41] <ubuntu_> i like amarok
[10:42] <echylo> I still prefer the old fashion sleep-in-bed method
[10:42] <echylo> which I'm going to apply right...
[10:42] <echylo> now
[10:42] <garryF> sleep? hmmmm
[10:42] <garryF> !sleep
[10:42] <onami> hello, i installed postfix, started it, and dovecot with it's pop3 module, but when i send mails to local users, they do not appear in dovecot pop, but mailx shoes them. what do i do wrong please ?

[10:43] <ubotu> The women and men of the Ubuntu women project hang out in #ubuntu-women. Encouraging women to use linux? Read http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Encourage-Women-Linux-HOWTO/ for some suggestions compiled by women who use Linux on how to do so effectively.
[10:43] <echylo> ooh
[10:43] <echylo> there you go
[10:43] <garryF> I"m not brave enough to do more than one fish a week. I got kicked once, just on my first try.
[10:44] <ubuntu_> aah geeky women?
[10:44] <echylo> I'd duck now
[10:44] <garryF> !but the fact that garryF needs to sleep.
[10:44] <ubotu> I know nothing about but the fact that garryF needs to sleep. - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[10:44] <garryF> end of my fishing
[10:45] <ubuntu_> garryF, u leaving?
[10:45] <garryF> eventually.
[10:45] <ubuntu_> :(
[10:45] <wthww> brb
[10:45] <garryF> just sticking around to see if that hint worked after the updating is done.
[10:46] <ubuntu_> kool
[10:46] <ubuntu_> garryF,  how long u been using linux?
[10:46] <garryF> off and on since slackware came about.
[10:46] <ubuntu_> ok
[10:47] <echylo> hm, is there a list somewhere of people that tried installing dapper on notebooks?
[10:47] <echylo> well, specific notebook names I mean

[10:49] <garryF> I better go away before I get in trouble
[10:49] <ubuntu_> lol
[10:49] <ironfroggy> is it safe to mount something on top of /var/cache/apt/archives/ ?
[10:49] <bilss_> hi
[10:49] <bilss_> what is the build-dep comand for a source package
[10:49] <ubuntu_> mount?
[10:49] <ironfroggy> in particular, i want all my desktops and laptops to use the same network share for their archives.
[10:50] <ironfroggy> ubuntu_: how is that a question?
[10:50] <col-panic> anyone know if the desktop "bleeding" on xubuntu dapper is fixed yet?
[10:50] <Alpha232> ironfroggy: sure... but make sure you keep the bare essentials there before you mount it
[10:50] <ironfroggy> what bare essentials?
[10:50] <garryF> its never safe to mount on a point that has already been mounted. For example, what chaos would happen if you mounted two cdroms on /media/cdrom and they both had matching file names like readme.txt?
[10:50] <echylo> !nvidia
[10:50] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[10:50] <ironfroggy> i mean, isnt it just the debs that were downloaded to be installed?
[10:50] <garryF> build-essential
[10:50] <Alpha232> garryF: it wouldn't...
[10:51] <ubuntu_> ironfroggy,  yep
[10:51] <Alpha232> garryF: but you can use an existing directory with files as a mountpoint.
[10:51] <ironfroggy> garryF: well im not mounting more than one share there
[10:51] <Alpha232> garryF: and the mountpoint will be masked with the mounted file system
[10:51] <ironfroggy> yeah im doing as Alpha232 says
[10:51] <bilss_> garryf: is that an answer to my post?
[10:51] <col-panic> so no one else has noticed windows 'bleeding' onto the desktop in xubuntu yet?
[10:52] <garryF> garryF: <--- Brain just imploded. Data overload.
[10:52] <Alpha232> col-panic: how do you mean bleading, that the windows when moved don't redraw the empty space?
[10:52] <ironfroggy> Alpha232: so that works? because im planning to use the same kind of method to store cached files from remote stores for access when im away from the network.
[10:52] <col-panic> Alpha232, precisely.
[10:52] <col-panic> if I let 'xfce manage the desktop'
[10:52] <col-panic> i usually dont.
[10:53] <BubbaJo> howdy
[10:53] <Alpha232> col-panic: usually thats caused by a video driver, though occasionally the wm can do it too, like if it doesn't know the size of the chrome outside the application, but report the bug see what they say
[10:53] <bilss_> if i have done apt-get source somepackage, then i want to build-dep for that package whats the command line?
[10:53] <Alpha232> col-panic: honestly i don't use X, i connect via SSH or serial
[10:53] <TheMoebius> so the libogre package is really outdate - how do I contact the maintainer to request an update?
[10:54] <BubbaJo> Is there anyone here who can help me troubleshoot poor hard drive performance I'm having under my Dapper install?
[10:54] <col-panic> whats the correct way to report a bug in dapper anyway?
[10:54] <garryF> checkinstall packagename?
[10:55] <bilss_> garryF: sorry i keep thinking your replying to my post
[10:55] <garryF> bilss_ hehe
[10:56] <bilss_> garryF: well i can hope you might
[10:56] <Alpha232> whats the psudo package to remove xwindows?
[10:56] <col-panic> xorg-xserver-core i think
[10:56] <uniscript> Alpha232: x11-common
[10:57] <uniscript> seems to have been the question of the day
[10:57] <Alpha232> xorg-common?
[10:57] <col-panic> uniscript, ty :>
[10:57] <uniscript> sorry yes
[10:57] <Alpha232> or xserver-xorg
[10:57] <Alpha232> lol
[10:57] <garryF> The only time I've seen a sudden loss in drive performance was when a drive had smartdrive to self diagnose. When it detected it was about to fail it went to snails pace speed to prevent more data loss. Took ages to backup.
[10:57] <uniscript> Alpha232: no I was right, x11-common
[10:58] <garryF> cempt its not smartdrive, I'm to rummy to remember the right name.
[10:58] <ubuntu_> bilss_, hello?
[10:58] <BubbaJo> garryF: I think you're talking about S.M.A.R.T. maybe?
[10:58] <ubuntu_> did u mean apt-get build-dep packagename
[10:58] <garryF> BubbaJo Likely.
[10:59] <Alpha232> E: Couldn't find package x11-common
[10:59] <BubbaJo> I have a WD 120GB 7200RPM drive that's only getting about 10MB/s buffered read speeds with DMA enabled
[10:59] <BubbaJo> if I boot from the live CD or in recovery mode, I get around 40MB/s on the drive with the same hdparm settings
[10:59] <uniscript> Alpah232: Well that's the root of the dependency tree for X11
[10:59] <garryF> Well, I'll sign off with a delta airline advertizing slogan ... "Terrorists are afraid to fly with us. Bring a bathing suit, your kids will love our inflatable slides!"
[10:59] <ubuntu_> bilss_,   r  u there?
[10:59] <WhiteNinja> the easiest way would be (x already installed) starting synaptic... looking for x11-related stuff and de-install...
[11:00] <BeBraw> where can i find "must have" linux app list?
[11:00] <BubbaJo> So my best guess is that something loading up in my normal install is interfering somehow, but I have no idea what it would be or where to look.  It sure makes the box seem slow though
[11:00] <ubuntu_> BeBraw,  packages.ubuntu.com
[11:01] <soccio> Hi
[11:01] <Badm4n> can someone give me the url for the nearest mirror for my source.list ?

[11:03] <Tomcat_> warlock: That *is* the exact load... 1.00 means 100% afaik :o
[11:03] <hypnox> Tomcat_ so is it just the debian installer and can it be automated using that pre-seed mechanism?

[11:11] <user-land> does someone use two monitors here ?
[11:11] <ep0cs> Is there anyway to install ubuntu with just the live cd?
[11:11] <warlock> Anyone know how to check the EXACT load on the cpu? I dont really understand what the 0.18/0.5 etc means on my sysinfo page (which is located at: http://dust2.mine.nu )
[11:11] <wthww> *with. i cant soell tonight
[11:11] <ubuntu_> bilss good luck
[11:11] <sparkman> 'soell' :)
[11:11] <redrum> type top warlock
[11:11] <Alpha232> warlock: how do you mean, load?
[11:11] <ubuntu_> well gtg guys
[11:11] <warlock> how many % its using
[11:11] <Schalken> warlock: whos to say the load shown by the system monitor isnt exact?
[11:11] <warlock> simple and easy :P
[11:11] <ubuntu_> tc all and god bless
[11:11] <Alpha232> warlock: it's not that simple
[11:12] <warlock> oh buh
[11:12] <sparkman> warlock: w
[11:12] <redrum> either use top in a console or use the system monitor on the desktop
[11:12] <sparkman> warlock: ps aux, top, w, uptime, etc
[11:12] <warlock> yeah, but what does:
[11:12] <warlock> 0.06, 0.03, 0.00
[11:12] <wthww> to use dual monitors with x youd have to have a custoom xclent/server wouldnt you?
[11:12] <warlock> that mean :o
[11:12] <sparkman> warlock: man w
[11:13] <redrum> its using .06% of your resources id say
[11:13] <aeQu`> ep0cs, you can install ubuntu with the live cd no? :)
[11:13] <Alpha232> w gives load, not pct
[11:13] <kakalto> my xine doesn't seem to want to play certain mp3s.
[11:13] <kakalto> any ideas why?
[11:13] <kakalto> well
[11:13] <redrum> ahh top gives me %
[11:13] <sparkman> warlock: basically # of threads vying for the cpu in the past 1,5,15 minutes
[11:13] <kakalto> it plays the last 10 or so seconds
[11:13] <redrum> Cpu(s):  6.3% us,  0.7% sy,  0.0% ni, 92.7% id,  0.3% wa,  0.0% hi,  0.0% si
[11:13] <Kaja> 6% of CPU time is used =G
[11:14] <kevinz> hello. I installed skim hoping to be able to use inputmethod in amarok. Now the kde tray for scim appears in taskbar instead of gtk's, but i still cannot use inputmethod in amarok. And BTW is it the truth that only one of "scim for gnome" or "scim for kde" can be enabled at a time?
[11:14] <warlock> hmm
[11:14] <warlock> I dont get that on "top" redrum :(
[11:14] <WhiteNinja> wthww: ?? why? just write the second monitor with its specifications... use twinview (with nvidia).. thats it
[11:14] <Alpha232> warlock, maybe if you asked the question you're trying to answer, we could give you a better answer
[11:14] <redrum> what if you right click a panel in X and add a system monitor warlock?
[11:14] <kakalto> kevinz: skim is just the qt scim interface. they both use the same backend
[11:14] <warlock> ok, let me rephrase that.
[11:14] <kakalto> kevinz: I would try to help you, but I can't recall what I did.
[11:14] <ep0cs> Anyway to install Ubuntu with the live, the normal install wont work.
[11:14] <wthww> WhiteNinja:kk
[11:15] <kevinz> kakalto: yes i know. I just feel the skim is not integrated well with the gnome style
[11:15] <kevinz> kakalto: oh thank you in advance
[11:15] <warlock> I'm using ubuntu-server breezy, I wish to check the load of the CPU in % (not in 0.20, or 0.4 or whatever that is) -> Is there a program (php script) or a command to check the CPU load in %'s ?
[11:15] <aeQu`> ep0cs, when you download the live/install cd of dapper, it first boots up ubuntu like a live cd, then it gives you the option to install it
[11:15] <sparkman> warlock: it's at the top of top
[11:15] <sparkman> warlock: yes.  top.
[11:15] <dibblego> I did a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade from 2.6.15-23 and now I get a kernel panic as soon as the machine tries to boot - how can I roll back to 2.6.15-23?
[11:16] <warlock> Cpu(s): 0.0% us, 0.6% sy, 0.0% ni, 99.4% id, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.0% si
[11:16] <sparkman> there you go
[11:16] <WhiteNinja> warlock.. it told u.. try gkrellm
[11:16] <warlock> It didnt work, I got an error WhiteNinja.
[11:16] <sparkman> WhiteNinja: it's a server, no X
[11:16] <warlock> ok, sparkman, what does that mean, the load is 0,6% ? or 99,44% ?
[11:16] <sparkman> dibblego: livecd
[11:16] <Alpha232> warlock: top -b - n 1 | head -3 | tail -1
[11:16] <kakalto> kevinz: well, skim isn't made to go with gnome
[11:16] <sparkman> warlock: man top :)  basically...
[11:16] <dibblego> sparkman, what do I do once I've booted off that?
[11:17] <redrum> my system monitor in dapper gives me a usage in % warlock
[11:17] <sparkman> warlock: it's user, system, nice, idle, wait, something, something, iirc
[11:17] <redrum> i remember breezy did the same thing
[11:17] <kevinz> kakalto: oh so i am going to remove it. then am i able to use scim in kde appliactions
[11:17] <SpoonMeiser> I'm having problems installing ubuntu; I want to install it, but keep an existing /home partition. Everytime I try to install it, it formats my other partitions, and then says it can't mount hda6 on /home. Anyone have any suggestions about what I should do to get around this?
[11:17] <warlock> redrum, im not using dapper :(
[11:17] <redrum> yah breezy and hoary should do it too warlock
[11:17] <warlock> hmm
[11:17] <warlock> its not..
[11:17] <sparkman> dibblego: mount your hard drive, chroot, chagne your /etc/apt/source.list and apt-get dist-upgrade
[11:17] <kakalto> kevinz: ah, right. I get it now. I'm not sure exactly how it works across desktops
[11:17] <sparkman> sources.list
[11:18] <redrum> if you are using X right click on the main panel where applications etc are.. and choose system monitor?
[11:18] <dibblego> what do I change sources.list to?
[11:18] <kevinz> kakalto: oh. so is it possible to work across desktops?
[11:18] <warlock> redrum, I still haev ubuntu-server :/
[11:18] <redrum> ah
[11:18] <sparkman> dibblego: roll it back to whatever it was before
[11:18] <kakalto> kevinz: I don't see why not, the only issue is that I can't quite remember how :S
[11:19] <warlock> and still I havent got an answer, "man top" was all I got. I need to know which one of these are the cpu load?: 0.0% us, 0.6% sy, 0.0% ni, 99.4% id, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.0% si
[11:19] <redrum> us
[11:19] <kevinz> kakalto: ha.. that's fine. so is it working for you, cross platform?
[11:19] <redrum> is the overall load
[11:19] <dibblego> sparkman, I'm not following - sources.list contains a bunch of repositories - how exactly do I roll it back?
[11:19] <kakalto> kevinz: well, give me a moment, I'll find out
[11:19] <kevinz> kakalto: oh thank you very much
[11:20] <neutrinomass> I haven't setup sudo - why do I get a hostname lookup failure when doing 'sudo test' ?
[11:20] <Badm4n> Failed to fetch http://id.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/evms/evms-ncurses_2.5.3-7ubuntu1~breezy1_i386.deb  Could not resolve 'id.archive.ubuntu.com'
[11:20] <sparkman> dibblego: oh, roll back your kernel then.  apt-get install linux-image-VERSION
[11:20] <Badm4n> E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
[11:20] <Badm4n> what is that mean ?
[11:20] <warlock> WhiteNinja, I've read about gkrellm on the net, but I cant seem to get it to work.
[11:20] <WhiteNinja> warlock... the whole... it's only divided in different specifications.. so u might see the gap
[11:20] <dibblego> sparkman, ah righto, thanks
[11:20] <sparkman> Badm4n: it means it can't find that domain name
[11:20] <psiborg> nee, ben er nog nooit geweest, maar wil wel graag eens door azie reizen
[11:20] <psiborg> fuck ;p
[11:20] <warlock> it's a GUI right? And it wont work on ubuntu-server, from what I understand..
[11:20] <Badm4n> damn :(
[11:20] <Badm4n> ok ok ty
[11:20] <psiborg> wrong window
[11:21] <sparkman> warlock: i already told you that.  gkrellm is a gui and you are usigna server with (presumably) no X
[11:21] <WhiteNinja> warlock... gkrellm is x11-related.. u have to install at least x11 and a small window-manager
[11:21] <sparkman> warlock: there are other applications taht do what you need.  search for them
[11:21] <WhiteNinja> like xfce
[11:21] <warlock> i've been googling, and cant really find anything.
[11:21] <sparkman> there's no need to bog down a server with X
[11:21] <chemaja> WhiteNinja: actually, you don't need the window manager ;-)
[11:21] <dibblego> sparkman, how will apt-get know to dist-upgrade that particular hard drive?
[11:21] <chemaja> sparkman: what if it's a pr0n server?
[11:21] <sparkman> dibblego: because you mounted and chroot'd there
[11:21] <kakalto> kevinz: it works in openoffice, kedit and I'm just downloading gedit to find if it works in gtk.
[11:21] <sparkman> chemaja: even then :)
[11:22] <chemaja> sparkman: :D
[11:22] <redrum> warlock worth updating to dapper too
[11:22] <warlock> no way
[11:22] <warlock> dapper is shit for game-servers.
[11:22] <warlock> I've done it twice, just ruined my server -totally-.
[11:22] <kevinz> kakalto: so i guess you are using kde?
[11:22] <kakalto> kevinz: yeah
[11:22] <warlock> sorry, but dapper is -never- gonna happen again :)
[11:22] <kevinz> kakalto: hah i should have found it from your name
[11:22] <SpoonMeiser> What's the root password for the ubuntu live install CDs?
[11:22] <redrum> pity
[11:23] <kakalto> kevinz: lol. on the contrary, I used this name before I found kde =)
[11:23] <neutrinomass> I get a hostname lookup failure when using sudo (this is an expert install) - any ideas ?
[11:23] <sparkman> anyways warlock if you need something custom you can code it in perl using libsys-cpuload-perl
[11:23] <dibblego> SpoonMeiser, there isn't one
[11:23] <kakalto> kevinz: gedit also works.
[11:23] <warlock> If you learn me perl sparkman :)
[11:23] <sparkman> neutrinomass: is eth0 up? what's in your resolv.conf?
[11:23] <redrum> theres some irc system info scripts too
[11:23] <kevinz> oh... well weird.. but i am using gnome
[11:23] <sparkman> warlock: :<
[11:24] <sully> need help upgrading from breezy to dapper
[11:24] <SpoonMeiser> dibblego: then how do I become root? I want to mount my partitions, see if I can't figure out what's going wrong with the install...
[11:24] <dibblego> sparkman, I'm still not sure how apt-get will know to upgrade that disk - does this mean I run /mnt/<dev>/usr/bin/apt-get ?
[11:24] <El_Brujo> you know some software for plan proyects?
[11:24] <dibblego> SpoonMeiser, sudo
[11:24] <kakalto> kevinz: I vaguely recall following a guide which said "for gnome, it just works. for kde apps, you'll have to do this stuff to make it work.."
[11:24] <WhiteNinja> SpoonMeiser: sudo -i will do the trick
[11:24] <sparkman> warlock: anyways, top is just fine.  if you don't understand it's output, man top :)
[11:24] <sparkman> dibblego: chroot.  man chroot
[11:25] <SpoonMeiser> dibblego, WhiteNinja: thanks
[11:25] <sparkman> El_Brujo: 'plan' projects?
[11:25] <kevinz> kakalto:    :|     at least i am glad to hear that since it is not a problem at my computer
[11:25] <warlock> and if I dont understand man top sparkman? :)
[11:25] <kakalto> kevinz: :]  keep at it, eh
[11:25] <neutrinomass> sparkman: Yes it is up. I think it's a problem with /etc/hosts - I only had one line '127.0.0.1 localhost'. I added another line 'localhost my_hostname_here' but it didn't seem to work (the error I get is 'unable to look up ubuntu, and ubuntu is my hostname)
[11:25] <dibblego> sparkman, chroot /mnt/<dev> apt-get install linux-image-<version> ?
[11:26] <warlock> sparkman, it says 0.2% us, (us= usage?)
[11:26] <sparkman> user, i think
[11:26] <redrum> yeah
[11:26] <redrum> its the current usage load
[11:26] <warlock> it is?
[11:26] <redrum> yup
[11:26] <redrum> try running stuff and see what happens to it
[11:26] <El_Brujo> sorry
[11:26] <warlock> lol, only 0.2%? O_o
[11:26] <sparkman> dibblego: no, chroot /mnt/point /bin/bash; apt-get install linux-image-<version>
[11:26] <WhiteNinja> us = user percentage
[11:26] <El_Brujo> let me see
[11:26] <warlock> I run 2 game servers
[11:26] <warlock> woot
[11:26] <neutrinomass> sparkman: Is the line I added in /etc/hosts correct, and do I have to reboot to let it take effect ?
[11:26] <redrum> you wouldnt see much use at all
[11:26] <dibblego> sparkman, ok thanks
[11:26] <redrum> unless running or compiling something
[11:26] <sparkman> neutrinomass: you do not need to reboot; it is not correct
[11:27] <sparkman> neutrinomass: this is mine, with hostname 'gir'
[11:27] <sparkman> 127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost       gir
[11:27] <neutrinomass> sparkman: Cheers :)
[11:27] <warlock> are you VERY sure that thats the cpu usage redrum ?
[11:27] <sparkman> neutrinomass: :)
[11:27] <kevinz> kakalto: btw do you use kubuntu? is everything the same with ubuntu? I have been using gnome and recently i found amarok sooo neat.
[11:27] <sparkman> warlock: it's userland usage percent, iirc
[11:27] <warlock> oh god, I need to learn this linux-language.
[11:28] <redrum> fairly sure warlock, when the screen saver comes on my server the %us goes up
[11:28] <kakalto> kevinz: yeah, I use kubuntu. A lot is the same as ubuntu. it's more or less just gnome swapped for kde
[11:28] <warlock> ok, 1sec redrum, gonna show you something
[11:28] <warlock> ubotu nopaste
[11:28] <ubotu> I know nothing about nopaste - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[11:28] <warlock> ? nopaste
[11:28] <neutrinomass> sparkman: Hm... I changed my hostname to blah by editing /etc/hostname, but I still get 'unable to lookup ubuntu' when trying sudo - maybe I have to reboot to apply the hostname change ?
[11:28] <Chousuke> !pastebin
[11:28] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[11:29] <sparkman> neutrinomass: no,  but you might need to ifdown eth0; ifup eth0
[11:29] <sparkman> neutrinomass: and it's /etc/hosts
[11:29] <sparkman> neutrinomass: use the hostname command as root to change your hostname
[11:30] <neutrinomass> sparkman: Yeah, I changed /etc/hosts following your example, but I was talking about the hostname now ...
[11:30] <warlock> WhiteNinja, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18918
[11:30] <sparkman> neutrinomass: which shouldn't require any sort of rebooting or network restarting at all
[11:30] <dibblego> sparkman, actually I didn't uninstall the older kernel - so I booted it from GRUB - I assume I can just apt-get remove linux-image-<broken-version>
[11:30] <warlock> oopas
[11:30] <warlock> oops;
[11:30] <sparkman> neutrinomass: right, man hostname
[11:30] <warlock> redrum, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18918
[11:30] <neutrinomass> sparkman: Ok :)
[11:30] <Flannel> neutrinomass: there are two places you need ot change, the hostname command, however, changes them both
[11:30] <vortexvein> "Couldn't change the permissions of "usbdisk" because it is on a read-only disk"
[11:30] <warlock> I dont see how that works out redrum.
[11:30] <sparkman> dibblego: i'd install a "working" version, and it should replace it
[11:31] <neutrinomass> Flannel: Yes, I understood that now (changing the hostname with 'hostname' made sudo work). Thanks all!
[11:31] <redrum> mine sits pretty much on 0.0 too
[11:31] <warlock> um
[11:31] <QMario> Does anyone know of a pure C++ tutorial for sockets?
[11:31] <warlock> then that cant be the cpu usage :/
[11:31] <redrum> its probably using an insignificant amount of cpu time warlock
[11:31] <sparkman> warlock: but it is
[11:31] <redrum> windows tends to sit on 0% as well
[11:31] <sparkman> 98.9% id <-- idle
[11:31] <redrum> unless you start moving mouse
[11:31] <warlock> so, when should I be worried about the cpu usage?
[11:31] <warlock> at 50% ?
[11:31] <redrum> nope
[11:31] <sparkman> warlock: when your load gets about 1.00
[11:32] <sparkman> over 1.00
[11:32] <warlock> oh...
[11:32] <warlock> hum
[11:32] <WhiteNinja> maybe at the time, ur system wont respond *laughing
[11:32] <sparkman> this is w load btw, not % load
[11:32] <warlock> k
[11:32] <warlock> so... 1.00 is 100% ?
[11:32] <sparkman> sorta
[11:32] <redrum> effectively
[11:32] <warlock> weird..
[11:33] <warlock> if i shift +m in top a few times, (like spam it) it gets to 1.3%
[11:33] <redrum> you can change the top output
[11:33] <Alpha232> warlock: are you still bitching about that?
[11:33] <warlock> yeah
[11:33] <warlock> :P
[11:33] <Alpha232> warlock: top -b - n 1 | head -3 | tail -1 | perl -pe 'if ($_ =~ m/ (..\..)\% id/) { $_ = $1}'
[11:33] <warlock> :p
[11:34] <neutrinomass> One more question: Any WM-independent way to make the mouse move about on the screen without having a mouse attached to the PC?
[11:34] <Alpha232> i could have been more elegant but you need to learn
[11:34] <redrum> yah you only need to worry if you are doing nothing and your us load is relatively high
[11:34] <warlock> Alpha232, I got:
[11:34] <warlock> root@playz:~# top -b - n 1 | head -3 | tail -1 | perl -pe 'if ($_ =~ m/ (..\..)\% id/) { $_ = $1}'
[11:34] <warlock> 98.8root@playz:~#
[11:34] <Alpha232> thats your idle time
[11:34] <warlock> ok
[11:34] <Alpha232> use bc if you want to figure overall time
[11:34] <Alpha232> or...
[11:35] <Alpha232> modify what i gave you to do the math, tis easy
[11:35] <ektian> hello
[11:35] <ektian> is there a way to find apache 2.2.2 packages?
[11:36] <InvisiblePinkUni> dapper isn't detecting my hardware raid... it shows 2 disks though there is only 1 logical drive :(
[11:36] <Alpha232> apt-cache search apache
[11:36] <ektian> 2.0
[11:36] <ektian> in cache
[11:36] <Alpha232>  | less
[11:36] <ektian> i like to avoid compiling from source
[11:37] <sparkman> ektian: google? steal a debian .deb?
[11:37] <Vhata> the other three linuses were taken?
[11:37] <Alpha232> ektian: unless you ask for source, you're gonna get a binary
[11:37] <linus004> lol
[11:37] <snowblink> Alpha232, Apache 2.2.x is not available in the standard repos.
[11:38] <dibblego> there are more modules for Apache 2.0.x anyway
[11:38] <snowblink> ektian, I was looking for the same. No luck so far...
[11:39] <Alpha232> sorry missed the 2.2
[11:39] <snowblink> dibblego, not mod_proxy_balancer...
[11:39] <Alpha232> who wants to be on the bleeding edge of apache, its a fiasco
[11:39] <Alpha232> argh k time to dive in
[11:39] <ektian> hehe
[11:39] <ektian> apache 2.2 is pretty nice
[11:39] <Alpha232> how is it different,
[11:39] <ektian> plus mod_proxy_balancer is quite nice for rails hosting
[11:40] <Alpha232> cross everything you've got two of... i'm about to upgrade
[11:40] <MartinZag> lol netscape got hacked
[11:40] <MartinZag> http://digg.com/tech_news/Netscape_Homepage_Gets_Hacked_This_Morning
[11:40] <snowblink> ektian, trying to setup a mongrel cluster too? ;)
[11:40] <Alpha232> 94 megs i gotta download GACK
[11:40] <ektian> hehe yeah actually i am trying to create a nice server environment both for django and rails

[11:42] <Alpha232> Rails is scary
[11:42] <Alpha232> OOHelllll
[11:43] <linux_user400351> is ubuntu a distro for noobs?
[11:43] <user-land> twinview is working now here.
[11:43] <Alpha232> linux_user400351: you made it here so I guess so
[11:43] <ektian> i am afraid rails is a mess
[11:43] <user-land> currently i need to unplug and again plugin my mouse so it gets recognized. is there a way to change that ?
[11:44] <caturOK> huacem
[11:44] <dibblego> linux_user400351, it could probably be described that way - relative to other distros
[11:44] <caturOK> ada orang jakarta g disini
[11:44] <Alpha232> what i want is IDE that lets you sperate data from display heh
[11:44] <caturOK> ataoe indonesia
[11:44] <dibblego> linux_user400351, it is very easy to use at least, compared to FreeBSD - the only other *nix that I use a lot
[11:44] <linux_user400351> dibblego, why dont you use solaris?
[11:45] <tristan_> anyone has a laptop with an XD card drive? And if so, is it possible that it works under Linux?
[11:45] <dibblego> linux_user400351, because it's junk
[11:45] <dibblego> linux_user400351, I'd rather use Windows
[11:45] <Alpha232> Solaris rocks but the kernel is a bitch
[11:45] <malmen> how can i reconfigure the sound ?
[11:45] <malmen> :S
[11:45] <sobersabre> hi guys. I am trying to use mysql-server-5.0 package.  something is not working.
[11:45] <linux_user400351> dibblego, what differences have you seen between linux and bsd?
[11:45] <Alpha232> the only things i like about Sun equipment is the bootloaders
[11:45] <Alpha232> and STOP-A
[11:45] <sobersabre> Do I have to do anything except apt-get install ?
[11:46] <dibblego> linux_user400351, package management is easier with ubuntu, file layout is a bit different
[11:46] <sobersabre> and starting the service, /etc/init.d/mysql start ?
[11:46] <confused> when I try and install nvidia.. I start the computer and the screen freezes after it looks like it's about to load and there is no error message on there either :( can someone help?
[11:46] <Alpha232> dibblego: nothing a find can't fix
[11:46] <dibblego> sobersabre, an install will start the service
[11:46] <linux_user400351> dibblego, is that all?
[11:46] <Shogo1> hello, i have a small question
[11:46] <Alpha232> confused: are you sure the computer froze?
[11:46] <sobersabre> dibblego what can corrupt this procedure ?
[11:46] <Alpha232> try ctrl-alt-F1
[11:46] <dibblego> linux_user400351, pretty much
[11:47] <sobersabre> It didnt' start
[11:47] <dibblego> sobersabre, anything, broken hardware for example
[11:47] <dibblego> sobersabre, how do you know it didn't start?
[11:47] <sobersabre> dibblego assuming this is not hardware issue (
[11:47] <confused> Alpha232: not really sure cause I didnt try.. like what would a cmd be? ctrl+alt+f1 or whatever?
[11:47] <sobersabre> well, there is a problem with location of index-bin.index file
[11:48] <linux_user400351> dibblego, im going to try solaris and os-x for intel next. i want to see something different.
[11:48] <Alpha232> well that would move you to a virtual console, so if the computer isn't frozen you can login to a shell
[11:48] <DrBashir> hmm, noone in the #cedega channel... :|
[11:48] <sobersabre> and the debian-sys-maint cannot access the DB now.
[11:48] <dibblego> linux_user400351, go for it - I may be bias since I used to work for IBM where I supported Solaris and AIX quite heavily - I hate commercial junk software with extreme disgust
[11:48] <damnation> how does one setup ubuntu with WPA-psk?
[11:48] <confused> Alpha232: any chance you could send the messages ping wize? I dont like to look through mounds of txt :X
[11:48] <sobersabre> shall I delete the datadir and simply dpkg-reconfigure the whole damn thing from the start ?
[11:49] <Alpha232> ping wise? huh
[11:49] <confused> Alpha232: type conf and then hit tab
[11:49] <Alpha232> will that be icmp ping or ctcp ping
[11:49] <Shogo1> Hello, what is the autentification command in the terminal? becouse i do not have acces to right or read on some dir. In a comand and then u tipe the pass but i forgotit
[11:49] <confused> Alpha232: w/e it's called :)
[11:49] <confused> Alpha232: so you want me to try that command?
[11:49] <linux_user400351> dibblego, do you realize that Solaris is open source now?
[11:49] <Alpha232> confused: its not a command
[11:49] <mrcoyote> Yop all
[11:49] <Alpha232> confused: hold down the control key, the alt key and press F1
[11:50] <dibblego> linux_user400351, yes
[11:50] <damnation> how does one setup ubuntu with WPA-psk?
[11:50] <dibblego> linux_user400351, that doesn't qualify it as not commercial junk
[11:50] <dibblego> not from my perspective anywy
[11:50] <uniscript> !wireless
[11:50] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[11:50] <kouwe> isnt there a console GUI to configurate the network interfaces??!?
[11:50] <confused> Alpha232: it's a special combo so me personally id call it a cmd ;)
[11:50] <dibblego> kouwe, yes there is
[11:50] <confused> Alpha232: alright i'll go and test it out
[11:50] <kouwe> dibblego: name?
[11:50] <Shogo1> ello, what is the autentification command in the terminal? becouse i do not have acces to right or read on some dir. In a comand and then u tipe the pass but i forgotit
[11:50] <dibblego> kouwe, /usr/bin/network-admin
[11:50] <confused> Alpha232: i'll be back in a few minutes
[11:51] <dibblego> kouwe, System->Administration->Networking
[11:51] <Alpha232> Shogo1: sudo or su
[11:51] <damnation> ty uni
[11:51] <kouwe> no gnome
[11:51] <Shogo1> ohhh yeah ty very much\
[11:51] <azcazandco> can anyone tell me why i would get the following error running sudo gparted
[11:51] <Alpha232> confused: you really should have the computers next to each other if its that broken
[11:51] <kouwe> dibblego: i want to set my eth0 to use DHCP and goes up.... but im in console mode
[11:51] <linux_user400351> dibblego, ive got to try it at least once. i may not like it either.
[11:51] <azcazandco> Warning: Unable to open /dev/hdc read-write (Read-only file system).  /dev/hdc has been opened read-only. Error: Unable to open /dev/hdc - unrecognised disk label.
[11:52] <dibblego> kouwe, /etc/network/interfaces (I think?)
[11:52] <dibblego> linux_user400351, good luck mate
[11:52] <aeQu`> woot, no work today!
[11:52] <Alpha232> azcazandco: what type of hard drive is /dev/hdc
[11:52] <confused> Alpha232: who sais I have two computers? I can login to windows as im still working out the kinks in kubuntu.. actually I changed the nvidia txt in xorg.conf to nv so I can boot back up to kubuntu
[11:52] <azcazandco> sata I believe
[11:52] <confused> Alpha232: shall I go try ctrl+alt+f1 then?
[11:53] <azcazandco> I need to remount my windows ntfs partition
[11:53] <Alpha232> azcazandco: ahhh ntfs
[11:53] <azcazandco> and it wont let me, it says it is unknown filesystem
[11:53] <Alpha232> azcazandco: you need to install ntfs tools
[11:53] <tristan_> anyone has a laptop with an XD card drive? And if so, is it possible that it works under Linux?
[11:53] <azcazandco> are they in synaptic
[11:53] <Alpha232> azcazandco: and its not recommended that you modify an ntfs partition in Linux
[11:53] <azcazandco> lol...  you live and learn i guess
[11:54] <Alpha232> azcazandco: yes, just search for NTFS... but once again, its not a smart thing
[11:54] <kouwe> dibblego: used dhclient, that worked well...
[11:54] <azcazandco> i think it is ntfs
[11:54] <Alpha232> azcazandco: is the filesystem currently mounted?
[11:54] <azcazandco> no
[11:54] <azcazandco> is unmounted
[11:54] <lokita> buenos dias
[11:54] <Johnny> where is the trash bin?
[11:54] <azcazandco> i tried to resize my ubuntu partition last night
[11:54] <apollo> hello
[11:54] <Johnny> i accidentally removed it from the panel
[11:54] <lokita> ke dices?
[11:54] <Johnny> and i need to add it again
[11:54] <lokita> ni puta idea
[11:55] <azcazandco> looks like I have it royally shafted
[11:55] <wildman> lokita, ojo con lo que decs!
[11:55] <azcazandco> really need to get files off it
[11:55] <Alpha232> azcazandco: so try this...     mount /dev/hdc /mnt -o ro
[11:55] <apollo> i am having a problem installing a metacity theme
[11:55] <lokita> ay bueno
[11:55] <lokita> hija
[11:55] <wildman> Johnny, right click on the pannel, add applet, you'll find it there
[11:55] <lokita> lo sientp
[11:55] <lokita> lo siento
[11:55] <azcazandco> okay, that ran... dunno what it did though
[11:55] <wildman> lokita, no hay problema. ac es solo en ingls, por cierto. "/join #ubuntu-es" para espaol. gracias.
[11:56] <Johnny> thanks wildman
[11:56] <wildman> Johnny, yw
[11:56] <Johnny> how do i get to it from the command line
[11:56] <damnation> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WPAHowto
[11:56] <damnation> lovely.
[11:56] <damnation> no help exists :P
[11:56] <Alpha232> azcazandco: cd to  /mnt
[11:56] <apollo> it tells me that the file format is invalid
[11:56] <wildman> Johnny, euh... it used to be ~/Trash
[11:56] <wildman> Johnny, but dunno now
[11:56] <Alpha232> azcazandco: and voila there is your drive
[11:56] <Johnny> i installed dapper just now
[11:56] <azcazandco> not sure it is man
[11:56] <Alpha232> Johnny: i'm installing it as we type
[11:57] <Johnny> but it gets go uncompressing linux ok booting the kernel and stops
[11:57] <kouwe> i just setted up PsyBNC on my ubuntu server but cant connect, should i put a new allow line in the iptables?
[11:57] <apollo> can anyone tell me why the file format is invalid?
[11:57] <lokita> gracias
[11:57] <azcazandco> Alpha232: looks like it grabbed my cd
[11:57] <lokita> cenkiu
[11:57] <Alpha232> azcazandco: lol then your harddisk isn't /dev/hdc :)
[11:57] <Alpha232> azcazandco: do   ls /dev/hd* for me
[11:57] <azcazandco> it *was* sda1
[11:57] <azcazandco> i believe
[11:57] <azcazandco> the windows partition
[11:57] <Alpha232> azcazandco: ahhhh so mount that then ;)
[11:57] <mcphail> azcazandco: a SATA disk will be /dev/sd? not /dev/hd?
[11:58] <Alpha232> azcazandco: you had hdc before  which is why it wasn't working :)
[11:58] <azcazandco> k will try again
[11:58] <WhiteNinja> i want sometimes a box doing the things i want to do but telling otherwise (smart os inside) *smiling
[11:58] <dibblego> fwiw, my 2 SATA disks are /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1
[11:58] <Alpha232> azcazandco: what dibblego said...
[11:59] <Alpha232> azcazandco: you want to mount  /dev/sda1 /mnt -o ro
[11:59] <Alpha232> azcazandco: but first   umount /mnt
[11:59] <wthww> how do you mount ntfs with ubuntu?
[11:59] <damnation> !wifi
[11:59] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[11:59] <Johnny> does it take a long time for dapper to uncompress linux?
[11:59] <apollo> alpha 232, i think my issue is really simple... when i try to install my theme - it says the file format is not valid - do you have any idea why that is? the file is a .tar.gz file... and it is a theme file... any idea what im doing wrong?
[11:59] <Alpha232> wthww:  mount :)
[11:59] <Johnny> its been like 3 minutes
[11:59] <Alpha232> apollo: no idea :) i don't use the GUI's
[12:00] <wthww> it refuses to...
[12:00] <zcat[1] > fun. I just set up grub to dualboot edgy eft and SCO openserver 5 .... Don't ask why! :-)
[12:00] <azcazandco> it says must specify filesystem type
[12:00] <apollo> clpha232 who should i ask?
[12:00] <apollo> alpha232 who should i ask?
[12:00] <aeQu> hm, I have this problems with pppoe, I need to connect with it thro "pon dsl-provider", and disconnect with "poff". But sometimes the internet just drops out, and I need to reconnect, feels like he d/c when there is no activity, anything I can do about that?
[12:00] <erki> Hi
[12:00] <wildman> Johnny, the trash is accessible on ~/.Trash (if someone already answered, sorry, things scroll fast here)
[12:00] <vecernik> hi there, have some problems with apt-get, would you help me?
[12:00] <Alpha232> azcazandco:   mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt -o ro
[12:00] <aeQu> !ask
[12:00] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:01] <erki> i have long error message, can i post it here or could someone help me in private?
[12:01] <PunkSkaDJP> what does the t modifier do to mount?
[12:01] <zcat[1] > !paste
[12:01] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[12:01] <PunkSkaDJP> just curious
[12:01] <Johnny> thanks wildman
[12:01] <vecernik> dpkg: error processing tex-common (--configure):
[12:01] <vecernik>  subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[12:01] <Lynoure> PunkSkaDJP: man mount  will tell you that and more
[12:01] <confused> Alpha232: when I do ctrl+alt+1 it brings me to the terminal login screen
[12:01] <Johnny> do you know why it might be taking so long to uncompress and boot?
[12:01] <Johnny> or should i try and reinstall
[12:01] <azcazandco> wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, missing codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail  or so
[12:02] <DrBashir> can anyone help my with Cedega?
[12:02] <Alpha232> confused: so your computer is not frozen, its just that you botched your settings for X, login and undo them
[12:02] <PunkSkaDJP> i know, but i just saw it and the question popped into my head. But thanks.
[12:02] <Alpha232> confused: you did backup your config first right?
[12:02] <wildman> Johnny, yw
[12:02] <Alpha232> PunkSkaDJP: -t specifies the filesystem
[12:02] <Alpha232> PunkSkaDJP: sometimes it can tell, othertimes it can't
[12:02] <confused> Alpha232: I dont know that much about linux but I would have tried that cmd (w/e you wanna call it) but I was up 17 hours with no sleep :X
[12:02] <confused> Alpha232: let me check
[12:03] <Alpha232> azcazandco: ouch... what happened to that harddrive
[12:03] <azcazandco> so it is well and truely borked then?
[12:03] <confused> Alpha232: nope :X
[12:03] <Alpha232> azcazandco: well not totally... gimme a few
[12:04] <Alpha232> azcazandco: there is a way to re-label a disk without loosing data...
[12:04] <azcazandco> Alpha232: I really appreciate the help btw
[12:04] <confused> Alpha232: I believe the first time I had to get nvidia to work it worked the first time I did it but now it wont :| (had to reinstall)
[12:04] <Alpha232> azcazandco: gonna take a few because i am installing dapper so the system is running slow
[12:05] <azcazandco> Alpha232: to be honest I want to ditch my windows install but need to get these files first
[12:05] <azcazandco> they are kinda most recent work
[12:05] <Alpha232> azcazandco: i hear ya
[12:05] <azcazandco> I was trying to resize windows and make my ubuntu install bigger so I could phase it out
[12:06] <Elak> really dangerous action :)
[12:06] <azcazandco> dunno how it unmounted / deactivated
[12:06] <azcazandco> Elak: you live and learn I guess
[12:06] <Alpha232> azcazandco: how big is the drive?
[12:06] <Elak> yes, You learn how to lost your data
[12:06] <Bergcube> You live and learn.  Or you don't live long.
[12:06] <kouwe> in what config file can i change my hostname?
[12:06] <azcazandco> 80gb
[12:07] <Alpha232> azcazandco: and how much data do you need to safe
[12:07] <Alpha232> er save
[12:07] <Alpha232> and what type of data is it
[12:07] <azcazandco> the win partition is about 70gb
[12:07] <azcazandco> a few current psd's and my xampp folder
[12:07] <azcazandco> desktop stuff
[12:07] <azcazandco> and my partners documents
[12:08] <Alpha232> azcazandco: ouch... ok alot of large files, and binary data gack
[12:08] <mcphail> azcazandco: make an image of the windows partition to a different hardisk and back up the MBR before going any further
[12:08] <snowblink> kouwe, add your new hostname to /etc/hosts first, then edit /etc/hostname
[12:09] <aeQu> I admire people who back up :( , every time I want to back up things, I just give up and format the whole thing, then crying of what I lost
[12:09] <confused> Alpha232: shall I wait?
[12:09] <dibblego> I use subversion on a RAID with on-commit replication
[12:09] <azcazandco> dunno if they are large files
[12:09] <Alpha232> azcazandco: heh if they are psd's they most likely are
[12:09] <azcazandco> mcphail: how can i do that
[12:09] <zcat[1] > I rsync to my webserver. But not often enough.
[12:10] <Alpha232> azcazandco: do you have a second disk?
[12:10] <Alpha232> azcazandco: not a second partition but another physical disk you can sacrifice for the time being?
[12:10] <nox-Hand> How would I go about setting my text terminal ((tty1 and up )) to a framebuffer resolution of something like 1024x960 instead of the default hell of 640x480?
[12:10] <mcphail> azcazandco: use dd (dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/path/to/backup)
[12:10] <DrBashir> noone has eve-online installed on cedega/ubuntu?
[12:10] <aeQu> I have this problems with pppoe, I need to connect with it thro "pon dsl-provider", and disconnect with "poff". But sometimes the internet just drops out, and I need to reconnect, feels like he d/c when there is no activity, anything I can do about that?
[12:10] <Alpha232> azcazandco: that will create a file the exact size of your partition that you're backing up
[12:11] <mcphail> azcazandco: if you don't have a 2nd harddisk, buy one before doing anything else
[12:11] <DrBashir> Cedega works like a charm (or so the tests tell me)
[12:11] <azcazandco> I have 100gb free on my firewire drive
[12:11] <DrBashir> But I cant install Eve
[12:11] <aeQu> DrBashir, check the wiki?
[12:11] <mcphail> azcazandco: that will be fine. If you are pushed for space you can pipe the output of dd through gzip
[12:11] <aeQu> DrBashir, checked*
[12:12] <azcazandco> so what do I do after I have done that then?
[12:12] <nemlah> Hello all
[12:12] <nemlah> i have reinstalled apache2
[12:12] <nemlah> and now the init.d script is missing
[12:12] <DrBashir> I have, but I'll check again...
[12:12] <DrBashir> It just doesn't even start installing
[12:12] <zcat[1] > ummm... why dd rather than tar or even cp -a ??
[12:12] <mcphail> azcazandco: use whatever file recovery programme you wish. I'd recommend photorec
[12:12] <nemlah> can someone tell me how to get the init.d script back?
[12:12] <aeQu> DrBashir, I'll check it out, hang on
[12:13] <confused> Alpha232: hello?
[12:13] <Alpha232> azcazandco: type this for me and paste me the results in a /query...
[12:13] <Alpha232> azcazandco: cfdisk -P s
[12:13] <azcazandco> what is a /query?
[12:13] <zcat[1] > ahhh I see..  messed up fs..
[12:13] <Alpha232> azcazandco: just use bastepin

[12:15] <nemlah> someone?

[12:15] <aeQu> DrBashir, what is the exact problem?
[12:15] <Alpha232> eegads
[12:15] <DrBashir> When I select the .exe, and click 'continue' it doesn't do anything at all
[12:16] <Alpha232> azcazandco: umm well you want the good news or the badnews?
[12:16] <DrBashir> the EVE_3913a.exe is on my desktop
[12:16] <mcphail> no windows partition there
[12:16] <Alpha232> azcazandco: the good news is, you got a great install for Ubuntu
[12:16] <Johnny> i just installed dapper but when it doesnt boot?
[12:16] <aeQu> have you tried starting cedega through the terminal and checking what error it gives?
[12:16] <cd_rom> hi, is there any problem with archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu? cause i can't get some package from it
[12:16] <Alpha232> azcazandco: badnews is it overwrote your disk
[12:16] <azcazandco> how do you mean
[12:16] <Johnny> it gets to Uncompressing linux ... ok booting the kernel and just stops
[12:17] <DrBashir> no, I'll try that
[12:17] <azcazandco> nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
[12:17] <azcazandco> :'(
[12:17] <aeQu> ok, that might clear a few things up :)
[12:17] <Alpha232> azcazandco: sorry kiddo...
[12:17] <cd_rom> i just can't install package through apt
[12:17] <mcphail> azcazandco: backup the partition as above and try photorec. it should still pull a lot of your data

[12:17] <azcazandco> what is phtorec?
[12:18] <mcphail> azcazandco: a free file recovery program
[12:18] <DrBashir> would that be a problem?
[12:18] <Alpha232> azcazandco: yeah what mcphail said... thats your last hope to recover antyhing not overwritten
[12:18] <mcphail> photorec
[12:18] <azcazandco> okay so if I do this in stages
[12:18] <aeQu> DrBashir, yes
[12:18] <Johnny> does anyone know what the problem might be?
[12:18] <DrBashir> hmm... how do I fix that? reinstall cedega?
[12:18] <aeQu> DrBashir, but it's not an eve problem, just something wrong with the cedega install
[12:18] <aeQu> yes
[12:18] <azcazandco> 1) are you positive I overwrote?
[12:18] <mcphail> azcazandco: there is a version in the repos, but google for the latest version and use that instead
[12:19] <DrBashir> reinstalling now
[12:19] <Alpha232> azcazandco: your partitions are gone, your fat most likely has been overwritten as well as some of your data
[12:19] <mcphail> azcazandco: probably. You could try changing the partition type of /dev/sda1
[12:19] <mcphail> azcazandco: but BACK UP first
[12:19] <frogzoo> azcazandco: this is irc - nothing is 100% guaranteed
[12:19] <azcazandco> try it as fat32?
[12:19] <Alpha232> mcphail: not gonna work... he overwrite it with an install of ubuntu...
[12:20] <mcphail> Alpha232: he may just have formatted
[12:20] <DrBashir> hmm, but how do I do that? its not in the add/remove programs list
[12:20] <nemlah> guys anyone
[12:20] <nemlah> ?
[12:20] <nemlah> the apache2 script missing?
[12:20] <nemlah> any easy way to get it back
[12:20] <nemlah> ?
[12:20] <frogzoo> nemlah: I'll pastebin - 1/2 a sec
[12:20] <mcphail> Alpha232: some data may be recovered if it hasn't been overwritten
[12:20] <Alpha232> mcphail: yeah but not by writing a new label... only bit based recdovery will help now
[12:21] <brotakul> hi. i have both ubuntu and windows xp installed. my data partition is fat32 and i want to chane it into ntfs without formating. if i use "convert <drive letter> /fs:ntfs" under windows is there any chance to loose data? anybody done that before?
[12:21] <nemlah> frogzoo: thanks m8
[12:21] <frogzoo> nemlah: /etc/init.d/apache2   ?
[12:21] <Alpha232> even if he relabels as ntfs, it won't recover the meta data :(
[12:21] <mcphail> Alpha232:agreed
[12:21] <nemlah> frogzoo: yeah
[12:21] <azcazandco> dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/media/sdb1/my-sda1-backup ?
[12:21] <Alpha232> azcazandco: noooooo
[12:21] <azcazandco> should that work for backing up?
[12:21] <azcazandco> i ahvent typed it
[12:21] <Alpha232> before you do anything
[12:22] <Alpha232> what is /dev/sdb? your firewire drive?
[12:22] <azcazandco> yes
[12:22] <wildman> nox-Hand, try something like vga=778 (IIRC) in grub's config
[12:22] <Alpha232> and what filesystem is it?
[12:22] <azcazandco> brotakul: watch what you are doing... i just killed my system
[12:23] <wildman> nox-Hand, it worked for LILO... and also for Grub IIRC
[12:23] <azcazandco> errr....  I think it is ntfs
[12:23] <wildman> nox-Hand, IIRC 778 is 1024x768
[12:23] <brotakul> azcazandco: using that command?
[12:23] <frogzoo> nemlah: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18922  enjoy
[12:23] <nox-Hand> wildman, in grub? Cool. Cheers, I will attempt. Where in grub? **looks over menu.lst**
[12:23] <azcazandco> no just back up before changing anything ;)
[12:23] <wildman> nox-Hand, looked over the right place :)
[12:23] <azcazandco> altering windows from within linux
[12:23] <linux_user400351> i have lvm2 taking up an entire harddrive. how can create free space on the drive so that i can create a partition?
[12:24] <nox-Hand> wildman, What?
[12:24] <frogzoo> nemlah: but what about all the /etc/apache2/* - or do you have all that?
[12:24] <mcphail> azcazandco: you'll have difficulty writing to a ntfs drive
[12:24] <azcazandco> yes I have done in the past
[12:24] <Alpha232> azcazandco: you can't :)
[12:24] <azcazandco> man this just gets better huh
[12:24] <Alpha232> azcazandco: not easily
[12:24] <mcphail> azcazandco: this is a _big_ file. Don't risk ntfs write
[12:25] <wildman> nox-Hand, in /boot/menu.lst, gimme 4' plz
[12:25] <zcat[1] > mcphail: you'd suggest fat32 instead?
[12:25] <azcazandco> so I am up shit creek then
[12:25] <azcazandco> can I not try and recover from this os?
[12:25] <azcazandco> using that app?
[12:25] <mcphail> zcat[1] : fat32 will not be large enough for a 80gb file
[12:25] <zcat[1] > yeah...
[12:25] <zcat[1] > 2G file limit..
[12:25] <mcphail> azcazandco: format the firewire drive as ext3
[12:26] <azcazandco> will i not loose files?
[12:26] <mcphail> azcazandco: (or xfs or something)
[12:26] <azcazandco> xfs?
[12:26] <zcat[1] > hehe.. assuming he doesn't have other stuff on there
[12:26] <Alpha232> azcazandco: backup the firewire drive onto another computer in the meantime
[12:26] <nemlah> frogzoo: THanks dude worked.. yeah i reinstalled and somehow the init.d script didn't come bundled
[12:26] <azcazandco> i have 120gb of stuff on there
[12:26] <Alpha232> azcazandco: where do you live?
[12:26] <mcphail> azcazandco: if you have important files on your firewire drive, buy a new harddisk
[12:26] <mjr> zcat[1] , actually, a little less than 4G file size limit, but yeah, won't cut it
[12:26] <azcazandco> okay I have another 80gb ide drive in the house I could plug in
[12:27] <azcazandco> it is ready fro wiping I guess
[12:27] <azcazandco> have kept it out of this machine as i didnt want to mix sata and ide
[12:27] <Alpha232> lol
[12:27] <SANDRALP> hola
[12:27] <azcazandco> Alpha232: am i missing something?
[12:27] <wildman> SANDRALP, hola. "/join #ubuntu-es" para espaol
[12:27] <SANDRALP> ola
[12:28] <SANDRALP> como te yamas
[12:28] <wildman> SANDRALP, wildman
[12:28] <Alpha232> azcazandco: nope...  put in the new drive, then dd if=/dev/hda1  of=/whateverfile on the new drive
[12:28] <zcat[1] > Just make really really sure you copy from the drive you want to recover TO the spare drive, and not the other way..
[12:28] <SANDRALP> yo sandra
[12:28] <Madpilot> azcazandco, you can mix ATA/IDE & SATA with no problems, in my experience
[12:28] <confused> im having trouble getting nvidia working can someone help me?
[12:28] <wildman> SANDRALP, hola Sandra, te van a hechar si segus en Espaol: "/join #ubuntu-es"
[12:28] <SANDRALP> habla en spain
[12:29] <azcazandco> okay, will go and get it plugge din then
[12:29] <mcphail> I suppose the lesson is "backup _before_ trying to shrink a partition"!
[12:29] <azcazandco> the lesson is learned
[12:29] <Alpha232> mcphail: well his problem was selecting the wrong option on the install
[12:29] <azcazandco> :(
[12:29] <SANDRALP> ola
[12:29] <BubbaJo> I'm having some seriously troubling hard drive performance issues that have had me puzzled for the last day or so...
[12:29] <radone> I am trying to setup CVS and after login command I got: PAM start error: Critical error - immediate abort
[12:29] <radone> Please, could anyone point me what should be wrong?
[12:30] <Alpha232> the install cd really needs to do a better job explaining it, AND give alternatives like vfat
[12:30] <wildman> !es > SANDRALP
[12:30] <zcat[1] > the lesson is back up before doing anything major, even just adding a partition
[12:30] <SANDRALP> my name is sandra god do
[12:30] <BubbaJo> If I fresh boot Dapper and go to a text console before logging in to the desktop, my hard drive read speed (from hdparm) is about 45MB/s
[12:30] <azcazandco> thing that confuses me is that i did the partioning maually before and got it right
[12:31] <SANDRALP> ola
[12:31] <mcphail> Alpha232: perhaps nuking windows installs is a hidden agenda ;)
[12:31] <azcazandco> haha
[12:31] <zcat[1] > what does fdisk -l /dev/sda show.. just the linux partitions?
[12:31] <Alpha232> SANDRALP: shut the fuck up please ARGH you're repeating is giving me a headache
[12:31] <azcazandco> is a good idea
[12:31] <Alpha232> pardon my french
[12:31] <BubbaJo> Upon logging into the desktop, with no applications running, if I go back to the text console and run hdparm -Tt again, I get a disk read speed of about 22MB/s, half of what it just was
[12:31] <linux_user400351> i have lvm2 taking up an entire harddrive. how can create free space on the drive so that i can create a partition?
[12:31] <Alpha232> zcat[1] : it should list everything on the disk
[12:31] <Alpha232> zcat[1] : but cfdisk is safer and smarter
[12:32] <BubbaJo> If I start up an application like Firefox or something, my speed then drops down to around 18MB/s, even if nothing is using the disk
[12:32] <wildman> Alpha232, she might not understand your French, should I try my Chinese?
[12:32] <zcat[1] > Alpha232: yeah.. I just want to be sure he hasn't still got a /dev/sda4 NTFS partition sitting there
[12:32] <wildman> Alpha232, >-] 
[12:32] <zcat[1] > or something like that we didn't think of..
[12:32] <BubbaJo> Has anyone heard of anything like this before...it seems like Gnome is immediately halving my disk transfer speed as soon as I log in!
[12:33] <frogzoo> BubbaJo: that's kind of curious behaviour
[12:33] <Alpha232> zcat[1] : it goes sector 0, he's smoked
[12:33] <mcphail> zcat[1] : his partition table is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18919
[12:33] <frogzoo> BubbaJo: most likely gnome is hammering the disk for some reason - try 'vmstat 5' to see if there's regular io under gnome
[12:33] <wildman> Alpha232, looks like she understood your French after all... or was afraid of my Chinese.
[12:33] <azcazandco> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18925
[12:34] <frogzoo> BubbaJo: also, how much physical memory do you have installed?
[12:34] <Alpha232> wildman: i have no problem with helping people from other countries, but they are better helped in their own language when the support is there, and to continue to go on even after they have been referred elsewhere is rude and annoying
[12:34] <Madpilot> Alpha232, "stfu" is not cool, even if someone seems to be repeating/spamming - do it again, and you'll be asked to leave.
[12:34] <azcazandco> okay, maybe I can live without these files and just wipe and go...
[12:35] <wildman> Alpha232, I've told her twice in ES to go somewhere else... I understand what you mean.
[12:35] <BubbaJo> frogzoo: Yeah, I've been unloading modules and all kinds of stuff, but I finally just traced it down to when I log into Gnome
[12:35] <zcat[1] > hmmm.. not a lot of NTFS in there :(
[12:35] <frogzoo> BubbaJo: also, how much physical memory do you have installed????
[12:35] <BubbaJo> I have 256MB physical (32MB shared to onboard video)
[12:35] <mcphail> azcazandco: you can try a file recovery program without backing up first, but why take the risk?
[12:36] <wildman> Madpilot, where are OPs when you need them? nice and polite OPs I mean
[12:36] <zcat[1] > azcazandco: if they're really important it might be worth paying a recovery place..
[12:36] <azcazandco> will you guys be around for a while?  I am going to go and plug in another drive
[12:36] <Alpha232> wildman: are you saying MP is not polite or nice?
[12:36] <DrBashir> aeQu, Invalid path 'c:\windows' for windows directory: does not exist
[12:36] <DrBashir> Perhaps you have not properly edited or created your Wine configuration file.
[12:36] <DrBashir> This is (supposed to be) '/home/drbashir/.cedega//config'
[12:36] <Madpilot> wildman, they're around. You can always ask
[12:36] <josh___> what is up people?
[12:36] <frogzoo> BubbaJo: try vmstat 5 & let it run for a bit - then try going through /etc/init.d/ disabling services & see if you can stop the io traffic - I'm assuming vmstat will show lots of io for whatever reason
[12:36] <wildman> Alpha232, MP?
[12:36] <DrBashir> keep getting that
[12:36] <BubbaJo> frogzoo: there is no visible activity via the hard disk LED on the case, and vmstat confirms 0 so and si
[12:36] <zcat[1] > recovering partially overwritten filesystems isn't my idea of a fun job..
[12:36] <wildman> Alpha232, MP = Madpilot?
[12:36] <donbono> Hi.. I have a color laserjet printer with a print server on my network, and when I try to print a large document.. maybe a pdf file it takes soo long while in the Windows computer  the printing is fast.. when I check printer properties while trying to print a document, I can read spooling xx% .. for  a long time..  can anyone guide me in order to get a faster printing or less spooling time??
[12:36] <azcazandco> need to dismantle another pc first and get dirty inside this one
[12:37] <afief> how can i specify the subtitles gxine uses?
[12:37] <azcazandco> zcat[1] : me neither
[12:37] <wildman> Alpha232, if Madpilot is an OP I didn't notice, I don't have xchat's user list sorted with OPs first :)
[12:37] <mcphail> azcazandco: too much information!!
[12:37] <wildman> Alpha232, and no, I was just calling polite OPs to guide the ppl like Sandra before
[12:37] <Jenkins> how can i play MP3 files on Ubuntu?
[12:37] <azcazandco> mcphail: i havent even begun ;-)
[12:37] <BubbaJo> frogzoo: 0 si and so and also 0 bi and bi (I'm not sure which is disk IO)
[12:37] <frogzoo> BubbaJo: but let vmstat 5 run for a bit - see if you get a flurry
[12:37] <Madpilot> wildman, ops here don't run opped all the time anyway
[12:38] <wildman> Madpilot, nice to know you are one of 'em at least :)
[12:38] <frogzoo> BubbaJo: afaik, si = swap, bi = blocks/io
[12:38] <zcat[1] > !mp3 > Jenkins
[12:38] <Jenkins> what do i do with !mp3?
[12:38] <Jenkins> type taht in terminal?
[12:38] <afief> how can i specify the subtitles gxine uses?
[12:38] <azcazandco> back shortly
[12:38] <zcat[1] > ubotu should have sent you something
[12:38] <ubotu> I know nothing about should have sent you something - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:38] <wildman> Jenkins, you should have seen instructions for mp3 on a private tab
[12:38] <afief> jenkins wiki.ubuntu.com look for restrivted formats

[12:39] <zcat[1] > that...
[12:39] <Madpilot> Jenkins, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[12:39] <zcat[1] > Madpilot: got it covered :)
[12:39] <BubbaJo> frogzoo: consistently no activity via vmstat and the hard drive activity LED... and running hdparm at any time gives the same 22-24MB/s speeds
[12:39] <Alpha232> Madpilot: and sorry, i forgot i wasn't in #Demonoid heh
[12:39] <Madpilot> zcat[1] , you're way ahead of me, evidently :)
[12:40] <wildman> Madpilot, I do have OPs first, but since none is 'marked' OP... :)
[12:40] <donbono> does anyone know how to reduce the spooling time when printing over a print server conected to an HP color laserjet and hplip driver?
[12:40] <wildman> oen->one
[12:41] <wildman> donbono, spooling time will depend on what you are trying to print
[12:41] <BubbaJo> Does anyone know what kind of services or processes get launched in Gnome that aren't running at the login screen, that might have an effect on hard drive performance (maybe somehow interfering with DMA or something?)
[12:41] <wildman> donbono, I have a similar setup here, but mono laserjet, some docs print immediately, others take like 2 or 3 mins to even start printing
[12:41] <donbono> wildman.. the proble here in the company is that for instance  a pdf file is printing in seconds with windows computers.. but the ones I migrated to Ubuntu are taking very long.. and people are complaining
[12:42] <Madpilot> wildman, you can get the bot (ubotu) to yell for help if someone is doing something really, really stupid - just do ! and 'ops' - that'll get lots of attention. Do NOT do it "just to test"...
[12:42] <Alpha232> donbono: how are you printing to the printer?
[12:42] <wildman> Madpilot, thx for the tip, my old brain will try to remember it
[12:42] <Alpha232> donbono: USB, Par, Network share?
[12:42] <wildman> donbono, hmm... seen the same here, and using the Print Server's LPD 'mode' solved it
[12:42] <guapo13> ols
[12:43] <guapo13> ola
[12:43] <guapo13> ola
[12:43] <guapo13> ola
[12:43] <Vhata> Madpilot: did you just tell a channel of 813 people "Don't Press This Button"  ?
[12:43] <guapo13> ooo
[12:43] <wildman> Madpilot, any kind op can take care of guapo13? thx
[12:43] <zcat[1] > 812 by my count
[12:43] <wildman> Madpilot, ;)
[12:43] <Madpilot> guapo, quit it...
[12:43] <zcat[1] > and about to be 811
[12:44] <Alpha232> argh another 10mins to finish the dist-upgrade
[12:44] <nox-Hand> wildman, :D
[12:44] <Madpilot> Vhata, "Do not press this button (without a good reason) unless you want to be kickbanned by irritating channel ops" ;)
[12:44] <Vhata> 'irritated', surely?
[12:44] <Madpilot> s/irritating/irritated :P
[12:44] <Vhata> right
[12:44] <wildman> donbono, Alpha232 is heading the same way with his questions. My printserver and Linux only work 'fine and fast' if I set the print server to LPD (Unix Line Printer Daemon), using its SMB mode makes printing almost impossible if not terribly slow from Linux
[12:45] <Alpha232> SMB sucks really... but thats what bill gates gave us
[12:45] <wildman> donbono, actually my printserver runs both in SMB and LPD mode
[12:45] <Alpha232> LPD and NFS rox the house
[12:46] <wildman> Alpha232, LPD is very fast indeed, but I suspect it 'throws' load to the printer... so if the printer has little RAM/poor processor... it will print slow anyway
[12:46] <Vhata> Madpilot: what if I do this:
[12:46] <Vhata> !ops
[12:46] <ubotu> Help! lilo, lamont, Keybuk, jdub, Amaranth, tritium, ajmitch, crimsun, ogra, CarlK, Seveas, Burgundavia, apokryphos, thoreauputic, nalioth, Madpilot, ompaul, rob, Hobbsee or gnomefreak!
[12:46] <donbono> ok.. how can I check that LPD mode?
[12:46] <Vhata> oh crap
[12:46] <Alpha232> ooops
[12:46] <Jenkins> Ok it says to install these packages but i dont know how
[12:46] <Alpha232> hahahaha
[12:46] <wildman> donbono, on your print server's config
[12:46] <zcat[1] > rofl....
[12:46] <Alpha232> ahah vhata moved vast
[12:46] <wildman> donbono,  the print server is a hardware device? or another computer?
[12:46] <Jenkins> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats#head-74857744ddf74499c6447a19c7e94a2fcb382e0c <-- that is what i am looking at.. any help how to install those packages for Rhythmbox?
[12:46] <Jimmy89> hey guys
[12:47] <Jimmy89> ive buggered up my ubuntu, and now my grub dosnt work
[12:47] <nox-Hand> wildman, Thanks a lot, now I am googling other vga mode numbers, so I can get it higher :D
[12:47] <zcat[1] > Jimmy89: that was clever!!
[12:47] <Jimmy89> i was dual booting with xp, how can i either reconfig grub or get the windows boot thing back
[12:47] <wildman> Jimmy89, boot with a livecd and fix grub config?
[12:47] <Jimmy89> how, me n00b with grub etc
[12:47] <wildman> nox-Hand, my pleasure. enjoy! :)
[12:47] <nox-Hand> =D
[12:48] <Amaranth> ?
[12:48] <Amaranth> oh, bot abuse
[12:48] <Jenkins> Install the package gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly <-- how do i do that? any help?
[12:48] <wildman> Jimmy89, you cannot boot windows anymore because u don't have a Windows entry on boot menu?
[12:48] <Madpilot> Amaranth, bot testing gone slightly wrong...
[12:48] <wildman> Jenkins, sudo apt-get install package_name
[12:48] <Jenkins> thanks wildman
[12:48] <donbono> no.. it's a hardware device.. a small print server conected to the printer .. manufactured by LONGSHINE
[12:48] <wildman> Jenkins, you might need to add the universe/multiverse/restricted repositories 1st...
[12:48] <Jenkins> i think i did
[12:48] <Jenkins> we will see
[12:49] <donbono> I can't see anything about LPD in the config page
[12:49] <wildman> donbono, doesn't it have a web interface to control/configure it?
[12:49] <zcat[1] > Jenkins: or open up synaptic, add the universe and multiverse repos, refresh, find the package, click it, clock the green tick...
[12:49] <confused> can someone help me? when I try and install nvidia.. doesnt work properly
[12:49] <zcat[1] > *click
[12:49] <donbono> yes it has.. but nothing about the modes u mention
[12:49] <Jenkins> ok it is installing thank you wildman
[12:49] <wildman> donbono, sigh
[12:49] <zcat[1] > confused: does /var/log/xorg.0.log say anything useful?
[12:49] <wildman> Jenkins, yw
[12:49] <wildman> donbono, 1 min plz, I'll check here
[12:49] <Alpha232> omg longshine products are sooo old
[12:50] <confused> zcat[1] : it doesnt exist it sais
[12:50] <Alpha232> donbono: which model are you using
[12:50] <donbono> I have alson one from ZOT .. but the config page is the same
[12:50] <zcat[1] > what doesn't exist?
[12:50] <donbono> LONGSHIE LCS-ps150 or ZOT p100s
[12:50] <wildman> donbono, mine doesn't have it either, it seems it's run automatically :-)
[12:51] <azcazandco> Alpha232: u be about in around an hr?
[12:51] <confused> zcat[1] : the file xorg.0.log doesnt exist
[12:51] <donbono> the thing i cant understand is why is it so fast from the windows computers
[12:51] <azcazandco> I think I am going to head into town and buy a new BIG drive
[12:51] <wildman> donbono, I only see options for NetBEUI (SMB), AppleTalk and TCP/IP... no LPD thing to configure, seems automatic (the doc says it has it, but nothing to config)

[12:52] <azcazandco> ah no worries man

[12:52] <wildman> Alpha232, ouch! so you feel from bed even earlier than me? (7:52am here)
[12:52] <wildman> fell, I mean
[12:52] <azcazandco> what was the name of that recovery tool again?
[12:52] <wildman> see? still a bit sleepy :P
[12:52] <azcazandco> so I can write it down
[12:52] <Jimmy89> wildman: Yes
[12:52] <Alpha232> azcazandco: i have been up all night,  goto work at 3pm local
[12:53] <donbono> so.. isn't there any other solution?
[12:53] <Jimmy89> wildman: Grub has an error, how can i make it a) find windows, or b) get windows boot manager back
[12:53] <azcazandco> fair enough
[12:53] <donbono> or config checkings in cups or hplip?
[12:53] <azcazandco> i appreciate all the help u gave me
[12:53] <Alpha232> donbono: that unit is so old... i can't even find the docs for it at longshine.de
[12:53] <confused> zcat[1] : you have any idea how I can fix it?
[12:54] <zcat[1] > confused: how far is it getting?
[12:54] <donbono> what about the ZOT p100s ?
[12:54] <Jimmy89> so how can i get xp back as a boot option, i am getting error 22 in grub
[12:54] <Alpha232> donbono: and its not an LCS-PS150 it is a PS-150
[12:54] <nox-Hand> How much will I lose if I remove ubuntu-desktop? I wish to remove usplash, but it wishes to pull ubuntu-desktop off with it..
[12:54] <Alpha232> +n
[12:55] <confused> zcat well it gets to the part where it's loading a lot of stuff and when it's about go get to the next screen rite before login I think it will just stay there.. no error and the computer isnt frozen.. can get in terminal through ctrl+alt+f1
[12:55] <zcat[1] > nox-Hand: ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage.. it's a 'nothing' that forces other packages to install.
[12:55] <wildman> Jimmy89, wait plz
[12:55] <confused> zcat[1] : well it gets to the part where it's loading a lot of stuff and when it's about go get to the next screen rite before login I think it will just stay there.. no error and the computer isnt frozen.. can get in terminal through ctrl+alt+f1
[12:55] <Alpha232> eeegads this product is awful
[12:55] <nox-Hand> zcat[1] , so, if I remove usplash (with ubuntu-desktop) I will lose nothing more?
[12:55] <sladen> nox-Hand: dude, just remove 'splash' from your boot line, rather than uninstalling stuff
[12:55] <zcat[1] > nox-Hand: yep..
[12:55] <Alpha232> donbono: rule number when when rolling out open source products, make sure everything else supports it...
[12:55] <wildman> Jimmy89, check this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18930 for my Windows XP entry in grub config (/boot/grub/menu.lst)
[12:56] <nox-Hand> sladen, Why? No point in it clogging up, is there?
[12:56] <Alpha232> donbono: there is no open source drivers for it and it looks like it needs special drivers
[12:56] <zcat[1] > but like sladen says, just take it off the boot line is easier.
[12:56] <sladen> nox-Hand: that is correct.  But you will find it more difficult to upgrade to the next version of Ubuntu without 'ubuntu-desktop'
[12:56] <nox-Hand> hmn
[12:56] <nox-Hand> Ah, okay
[12:56] <zcat[1] > usplash takes up almost no space anyhow..
[12:56] <sladen> nox-Hand: what 20kB?
[12:56] <Jimmy89> wildman: ty will oook
[12:56] <nox-Hand> Heh
[12:56] <wildman> Jimmy89, yw
[12:56] <donbono> Alpha232 .. the manual says LCS-PS150.. and it has a section titledLinux installation..
[12:56] <nox-Hand> sladen, I am going to install BootSplash, so I was going to remove the other, but I shall just remove it from grub then,.
[12:57] <Alpha232> donbono: well i'm glad you found a manual...
[12:57] <donbono> and also I'm able to print.. but it takes too much time spooling.. that is the problem
[12:57] <Danker> http://my.opera.com/Dankeris/albums/show.dml?id=105898 guys, could you help me to identify those people?
[12:57] <Alpha232> donbono: cause they manufacturer lists it differently and doesn't have a manual on it
[12:57] <Alpha232> donbono: ok ... try doing an print of a plain text file
[12:58] <Alpha232> also what are you using to print your PDFs?
[12:58] <azcazandco> Alpha232: can you remind me of that app name?
[12:58] <Alpha232> azcazandco:    photorec
[12:58] <sladen> nox-Hand: given that bootsplash requires kernel patches and is about 50x the size of usplash I would worry about what you're installing, rather than what you're removing
[12:58] <confused> zcat[1] : it would really help if an error was being shown probably :(
[12:58] <Alpha232> donbono: is the printer driver rasterizing it to an image, or sending it as postscript/jpl/pdl or other printer def
[12:58] <linux_user400351> i have a cdrom drive that sounds like a lawn mower. i wouldnt put good cds in it.
[12:58] <sladen> Danker: the only interesting one on there is http://my.opera.com/Dankeris/albums/showpic.dml?album=105898&picture=1446927
[12:59] <aeQu`> could somebody tell me why my internet connection is disconnnecting sometimes? I need to use pon dsl-provider to connect with it (after I did a pppoeconf), but it seems to drop out when there is no activitity
[12:59] <nox-Hand> sladen, ^^
[12:59] <zcat[1] > confused: yeah... weird. something should get logged at least.
[12:59] <sladen> Alpha232: evince (aka "Document Viewer") will automatically open PDFs
[12:59] <zcat[1] > anyhow, I'm off to bed so hopefully someone else knows
[12:59] <sladen> aeQu`: your ISP is probably dropping you if it sees no traffic
[12:59] <confused> doubtful
[12:59] <sladen> aeQu`: try enabling keep alives
[12:59] <Danker> Yes, that is Linus
[12:59] <aeQu`> sladen, he didn't do that on XP
[12:59] <azcazandco> Alpha232: thanks
[12:59] <Danker> And other?
[01:00] <aeQu`> sladen, how do I do that? or can I find that on wiki?
[01:00] <Alpha232> donbono: ok guess you don't need help
[01:01] <sladen> aeQu`: edit  /etc/peers/dsl-provider  or similar  Google for  http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ppp+keep+alives
[01:01] <donbono> Alpha232 I was creating a text file
[01:01] <nox-Hand> sladen, **thinks** 50*20kb
[01:01] <donbono> it prints ok
[01:01] <Jimmy89> wildman: hmm my ubuntu was buggered anyone, had some random flash / firefox problem, so i just used the windows MBR thing
[01:01] <donbono> quite fast..
[01:01] <donbono> but here we often print pdf manuals... and graphic stuff...
[01:01] <aeQu`> sladen, thanks, will be somewhere else here, but I'll find it :p
[01:02] <Jimmy89> wildman: next question i have is you good with partitioning drives, cause i cannot seem to change my partition information
[01:02] <donbono> and that's too slow.. takes lot of time spooling.. but its' ok under windows systems
[01:02] <wildman> Jimmy89, I don't want to guide you in a way that will trash your disk, I'm not fully awake yet :P
[01:02] <Alpha232> donbono:  ok...
[01:03] <Alpha232> donbono: so the problem exists from the UI to the spooler then
[01:03] <Alpha232> we know that from the box to the printer goes fast
[01:03] <Alpha232> now... what program are they using to print?
[01:03] <sladen> nox-Hand: yes, bootsplash includes a JPEG decoder in the kernel...
[01:03] <BubbaJo> OK, anyone who cares, the only time I can get full hard drive read speeds is if I kill every process in Gnome (including the panel, nautilus, etc)... then my drive read speeds double to what they should be, but any application slows the disk down dramatically, but without using any disk IO
[01:03] <Jimmy89> wildman: lol, dosnt seem to matter, i seem to have lost my second partition..
[01:03] <Alpha232> how do i find out if i'm running dapper or breezy
[01:03] <Danker> You would help me alot, identifying those people
[01:03] <andriijas> are there any deb mirrors with latest firefox versions?
[01:03] <wildman> donbono, I've noticed that printing from Adobe's Reader in Windows is (much) faster (same file, same machine, different OS) than on Linux too
[01:03] <nox-Hand> sladen, I know, I was just making fun of that tiny size
[01:03] <mcphail> donbono: i vaguely remember reading something about that in an old SuSE administartion manual. Something about support for postscript drivers. Might be worth a google for the admin guide.
[01:03] <wildman> donbono, but I can live with that speed :)
[01:03] <donbono> xpdf i guess
[01:04] <donbono> no sorry.. its gpdf
[01:04] <Madpilot> Danker, try #ubuntu-offtopic for chat, please
[01:04] <linux_user400351> why is qtparted only showing my usb drive? its not showing any of my 3 hard drives.
[01:04] <Alpha232> donbono: and is the printer Postscript?
[01:04] <nox-Hand> /usr/src/linux <-- Erm, this is not present in Ubuntu. Where would I find the folder I need?
[01:04] <Danker> ok
[01:05] <donbono> I think it supports postscript.. it's a HP Color laserjet 2500
[01:05] <wildman> Alpha232, RedHat-like systems have a nice /etc/release text file which I couldn't find on Ubuntu... that file tells you the version of the OS installed (well, at least when it was installed :))
[01:05] <BubbaJo> Since nobody here seems to be able to help me, is there a good GNOME channel on this or any other server?
[01:06] <mcphail> IIRC, some printers have windows drivers which allow "direct" printing, whereas the Linux drivers have to convert to ps first.
[01:06] <Alpha232> ll of the HP Color LaserJet 2500 models have PCL 6, PCL 5c and PostScript Level 3 emulation embedded in the printers firmware
[01:06] <sladen> mcphail: not...entirely....true
[01:06] <Ng> BubbaJo: are you using beagle?
[01:06] <mcphail> sladen: i admit my ignorance
[01:06] <Alpha232> donbono: do you have a small PDF file?
[01:06] <wildman> sladen, PS conversion is dun by that 'direct print' driver IMVHO ;)
[01:06] <donbono> yes..
[01:07] <mcphail> sladen: hence "IIRC"
[01:07] <sladen> mcphail: however, like MacOSX, in the Linux world we tend to /prefer/ to generate Postscript and then turn the Postscript into whatever crack the printer supports.  (Real printers of course render that postscript directly)
[01:07] <wildman> oups, sladen: sorry, my line was for mcphail :P
[01:07] <unfun> Who should I talk to if I need help with something?
[01:07] <donbono> I have a 1.2 mb one
[01:07] <wildman> !ask
[01:07] <linux_user400351> does qtparted need to be run as root user?
[01:07] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:07] <wildman> unfun, see what the ubotu bot says?
[01:08] <sladen> linux_user400351: if you select qparted from the menus, it'll ask for your password.  If you want to run it from the commandline, do   sudo qparted
[01:08] <unfun> !ask
[01:08] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:08] <Alpha232> donbono: try this...          time pdf2ps myfile.pdf newfile.ps
[01:08] <unfun> I have have problem listening to internet radio
[01:08] <BubbaJo> Ng: no, not using beagle
[01:09] <donbono> ok..
[01:09] <trpr11> nox-Hand: thats the right folder.. it should be a symlink to the actual source folder. you create it after unpacking the kernel source
[01:09] <elias> how can i get my SUPER (Windows key) working?
[01:10] <aeQu`> unfun, just say what the problem is, and be more specific then just saying "X is not working"
[01:10] <unfun> Every time I try to listen to internet radio I get this warning "Totem could not play 'fd://0'." or in other radios i get to choose between wmp and realplayer and realplayer i cant install in my ubuntu.
[01:10] <unfun> Does anyone know a program i can use for listening to radio?
[01:10] <Sleeping_Sloth> hello , I've got a kernel question, can anyone help?
[01:10] <Jenkins> how do you register with the IRC Server?
[01:10] <nox-Hand> trpr11, ah, right. Then I need the sources..
[01:10] <fyrestrtr> Jenkins: /msg nickserv help register
[01:11] <donbono> now?
[01:11] <Sleeping_Sloth> I'm currently running the linux-k8 kernel, and I want to move to the k8-smp kernel
[01:11] <ad> !twinview > ad
[01:11] <ubotu> I know nothing about twinview  - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:11] <Sleeping_Sloth> I've installed the k8-smp kernel in synaptic, but it doesnt appear in my grub kernel list
[01:11] <Alpha232> donbono: what did it say?
[01:11] <donbono> to do the time command
[01:12] <donbono> to convert the pdf to ps i guess
[01:12] <Alpha232> donbono: it should say   real:    and then a time
[01:12] <Alpha232> yup so what does real say..
[01:12] <Sleeping_Sloth> and there is no mention of a linux-image-k8-smp in synaptic - what am I doing wrong?
[01:12] <Serious_Sven> afternoon, how can I setup a ftp server for only passworded account users? or can I use the -u <uid> (the anonymous user account)
[01:12] <Alpha232> donbono: now do  tail newfile.ps  | grep Pages
[01:12] <donbono> real    0m1.183s
[01:12] <ad> Hi folks, anyone know - am I going to get an nvidia quadro4 card working with Twinview in dapper?
[01:13] <Alpha232> donbono: so it took  1.183 seconds to convert it from PDF to a postscript file
[01:13] <Ng> ad: yes
[01:13] <Alpha232> donbono: now how many pages was it?     doing   tail  newfile.ps  | grep Pages will tell you
[01:13] <ad> Ng: easily? just editing xorg.conf and installing nvidia drivers?
[01:13] <nox-Hand> Anyone know a simple command for getting sources? (( googles ))
[01:14] <Jenkins> how do i tell if i am registered?
[01:14] <Ng> ad: the best source of info is the nvidia readme, they have a great section on twinview, or I chucked up a quick description of my setup here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo (see the "quick and dirty" nvidia section)
[01:14] <fyrestrtr> nox-Hand: sudo apt-get install linux-sources
[01:14] <donbono> %%Pages: 1
[01:14] <nox-Hand> fyrestrtr, That was simple :P Cheers
[01:14] <Ng> ad: it's not too hard, you just have to get your head around the metamodes and that's about it :)
[01:14] <Alpha232> donbono: so it was only one page... ok...
[01:14] <elias> Is there a channel for xgl on ubuntu_
[01:14] <Jenkins> how do i tell if i am registered with the IRC server?
[01:14] <donbono> but if i open it with openoffice the ps file has more than 1 thousnd
[01:15] <fyrestrtr> Jenkins: when you login, nickserv will tell you that the nick is registered, and ask you to identify yourself.
[01:15] <donbono> the pdf yes.. was one page
[01:15] <fyrestrtr> Jenkins: as a hint, your nick is not registered.
[01:15] <elias> I have a little little problem with it. Everything works great except the SUPER/Windows key does not work.
[01:15] <Alpha232> donbono:  thats because it doesn't know how to read a postscript file...
[01:15] <Jenkins> how do i identify myself to the nickserv then?
[01:15] <donbono> ok
[01:15] <donbono> so whats ur point?
[01:15] <Badm4n> i use apt-get remove jabber but it wot remove the file ... what is the command for complete remove
[01:15] <fyrestrtr> Jenkins: first, you have to register your link /msg nickserv register yournewpassword -- then you have to identify /msg nickserv identify yournewpassword -- that's it.
[01:15] <ad> Ng: cool, I've looked at your howto before, but I've only just got the card this morning - I'll go through it
[01:16] <mcphail> elias: you'll probably have to change the "SUPER" to "SUPER_L"
[01:16] <Alpha232> donbono: we are walking step by step through what happens when you print
[01:16] <Alpha232> donbono: trying to find out where the bottleneck is
[01:16] <donbono> ok
[01:16] <unfun> How do I install realplayer? When I try  through synaptic i get this "xlibs  but it is not installable"
[01:16] <econthrust> :) anyone knows how can i change the root password used in graphical applications to the REAL root password?
[01:16] <ad> Ng: Is there any way I can get in touch with you later?
[01:16] <donbono> cool
[01:16] <Ng> ad: best of luck, shout if you have any problems :)
[01:16] <Alpha232> donbono: are you next to the printer you are going to print to?
[01:16] <fyrestrtr> unfun: read the wiki
[01:16] <donbono> yes
[01:16] <Jenkins> it says the nickanme Jenkins is already registered
[01:16] <Ng> ad: I should be proddable for most of the day (so another 5 hours or so)
[01:16] <fyrestrtr> econthrust: there is no "real" root password. Use sudo.
[01:16] <Jenkins> i dont know if i did it or not
[01:16] <mwtb> I'm in the process of configuring my dev laptop using ubuntu and I want to install SPE. I'm a bit confused as some sources suggest that SPE is part of the standard Dapper packages, but it's not listed in synaptic or under add/remove. Is there some config I need to do to register a repo or something?
[01:17] <Jenkins> nvm
[01:17] <fyrestrtr> Jenkins: means someone already registered it, was it you?
[01:17] <Jenkins> figured it out
[01:17] <ad> Ng: steep learning curve for me here:) proddable?
[01:17] <donbono> it's just here
[01:17] <Jenkins> it was me
[01:17] <Alpha232> donbono: ok type in     lpstat -l
[01:17] <Jenkins> thanks im not that great with IRC
[01:17] <fyrestrtr> Jenkins: well identify yourself :)
[01:17] <mcphail> elias: the keybindings for compiz are different from the keybindings for metacity. Set them in gconf-editor
[01:17] <Alpha232> donbono: and make sure you see that printer listed.
[01:17] <Jenkins> i did :P
[01:17] <econthrust> when i changed root password with sudo, the terminal has that password but for graphically started apps, the old one stays
[01:17] <econthrust> thats my problem
[01:17] <fyrestrtr> econthrust: why did you change the root password?
[01:17] <Badm4n> apt-get remove filename <-- doesnt want to clean the file... how to make clean un install ?
[01:17] <Alpha232> donbono: then you're going to type    lpr  -l newfile.ps
[01:17] <donbono> it returns nothing
[01:17] <elias> mcphail: I have a tool to set them, but setting it to super does not work
[01:18] <econthrust> because of sec reasons :)
[01:18] <Alpha232> donbono: hrrm
[01:18] <fyrestrtr> Badm4n: sudo apt-get remove --purge packagename
[01:18] <Alpha232> donbono: nothing at all?
[01:18] <mcphail> econthrust: the menus start the apps with a "sudo" equivalent, not su
[01:18] <donbono> nothing at all
[01:18] <elias> maybe the super key is deactivated by that: xmodmap /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.de
[01:18] <melknix> Hi I have a problem with network, can anyone help me?
[01:18] <fyrestrtr> econthrust: oookaaay. Logout and log back into your X session.
[01:18] <Badm4n> ok ty
[01:18] <Alpha232> mcphail: any reason why a  lpstat -l would list nothing, when he can print from X apps?
[01:18] <fyrestrtr> elias: are you trying to fix the shift+backspace crashes xgl problem?
[01:18] <econthrust> fyrestrtr, its and old problem, i logged in dozens of times now :)
[01:19] <mcphail> Alpha232: as mentioned above - i'm only guessing here
[01:19] <fyrestrtr> econthrust: restart X
[01:19] <elias> fyrestrtr: no
[01:19] <wildman> unfun, xmms (if none answered before)
[01:19] <fyrestrtr> !anyone
[01:19] <econthrust> fyrestrtr, restarted dozens, the problem is elsewhere
[01:19] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[01:19] <unfun> what?
[01:19] <wildman> have fine all
[01:19] <trpr11> econthrust: i don't get the impression he is listening to you at all ;)
[01:19] <elias> fyrestrtr: I want to turn the cube with Super+mouse button
[01:19] <donbono> I have  a root account..
[01:19] <mcphail> Alpha232: i haven't had a printer connected to my box for years
[01:19] <wildman> fun, I mean. damn! :)
[01:19] <Alpha232> donbono: it shouldn't need to be done as root :/
[01:19] <fyrestrtr> econthrust: yeah, it started when you tried to set the root password. Do *not* do this, unless you know what you are doing and how ubuntu works.
[01:19] <donbono> if it has somethiing to do
[01:20] <donbono> as root i get nothing as well anyway
[01:20] <Alpha232> mcphail: same here, last time i worked with postscript and printers on unix, i was using sed to modify them
[01:20] <mcphail> :)
[01:20] <fyrestrtr> elias: oh, this you need to setup in gset-compiz
[01:20] <unfun> wildman
[01:20] <elias> fyrestrtr: this is what I do, but super wont respond!
[01:20] <econthrust> mcphail, i get to see how menus are launched. it is a more likely reason as u said
[01:20] <Alpha232> donbono: well i hate to say it but you'll need someone more experienced with unbuntu specifics...
[01:20] <melknix> i'm on internet with konversation and i use a wireless connection, my router have all port open but i can't use the online repository for connection time out!!! why???
[01:20] <Sonderblade> how do you mount a samba share so that non-root users can read and write to it?
[01:20] <fyrestrtr> elias: ask in #xgl :)
[01:21] <donbono> damn!
[01:21] <fyrestrtr> melknix: its probably down.
[01:21] <gnomefreak> isnt there a command to see what type of memory you have?
[01:21] <Alpha232> donbono: when ever i setup printers they are part of the LP system
[01:21] <Alpha232> donbono: i dunno how Cups does it
[01:21] <donbono> ok..
[01:21] <melknix> fyrestrtr: all the repository? is not down i'm sure...
[01:21] <mcphail> econthrust: best to stick with sudo.
[01:21] <fyrestrtr> melknix: its been happening off and on for the past few days.
[01:22] <donbono> I thing the migration idea is gonna be a failure.. everyone is complaning
[01:22] <melknix> fyrestrtr: one is up, I see it now with konquerror
[01:22] <unfun> what is xmms?
[01:22] <Alpha232> donbono: well its a good idea... but you need someone who has indepth knowledge of the system before you run off with it
[01:22] <duduzera> hi all
[01:22] <donbono> actually I was very motivated with the idea.. I always use Linux systems at home
[01:22] <fyrestrtr> econthrust: see, the reason you think this is a problem, is because you don't know how ubuntu is setup with sudo -- which is what I said to you in the first place, don't set a root password unless you know how the system is setup.
[01:22] <Alpha232> donbono: what type of work do you do with the pdf's?
[01:22] <duduzera> when comes the next release of ubuntu
[01:22] <duduzera> ?
[01:23] <DaxHuiberts> Hi, I have a problem booting the ubuntu livecd, and I just can't figure out what to do about it.
[01:23] <gnomefreak> duduzera: oct
[01:23] <duduzera> gnomefreak: thanks
[01:23] <DaxHuiberts> more info on the problem here: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=223288
[01:23] <gnomefreak> duduzera: yw
[01:23] <donbono> we deal with electronics and devices for installations.. so we often print pdf docs for our customers
[01:23] <Stormx2> DaxHuiberts: I'll take a look
[01:23] <donbono> maybe 100 pages
[01:23] <DaxHuiberts> thanks
[01:23] <econthrust> fyrestrtr, and could u tell me how would i login as root in ssh when there is no root pass?
[01:23] <donbono> 200 pages...
[01:23] <donbono> and we just can't wait for this spooling hours
[01:23] <fyrestrtr> econthrust: oh my freakin' god. DO NOT ENABLE ROOT LOGIN TO SSH!!!!!
[01:23] <Stormx2> econthrust: sudo -i I think
[01:24] <Flannel> econthrust: you don't need to log in as root.
[01:24] <Flannel> econthrust: what makes you think you would ever need to?
[01:24] <donbono> we did't have the problem under windows
[01:24] <fyrestrtr> econthrust: there is *no* reason that root should be able to login to ssh directly.
[01:24] <econthrust> guys, i need sometimes to forward root applications with ssh, so pls understand i need root pass
[01:24] <Stormx2> DaxHuiberts: Couple of things could be the problem.
[01:24] <fyrestrtr> econthrust: learn to use and love sudo.
[01:25] <Stormx2> DaxHuiberts: First, check the md5sum of the .iso you downloaded
[01:25] <Stormx2> !isoverify
[01:25] <ubotu> I know nothing about isoverify - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:25] <econthrust> okay, tell me how to forward X apps for root using ssh and sudo :
[01:25] <DaxHuiberts> I'm on a windows comp now, any tools for that?
[01:25] <Stormx2> *sigh*
[01:25] <Alpha232> donbono: well its not a linux problem, it just might be how its going about it
[01:25] <econthrust> i happily love to learn using sudo! :)
[01:25] <fyrestrtr> econthrust: 1. What X app is it, that you *must* run as root?
[01:25] <Stormx2> DaxHuiberts: yeah hold on. There is a wiki page I think. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/VerifyISO (something like that)
[01:25] <Alpha232> donbono: pdf2ps works fast, so it should print jsut as fast as your text printed
[01:25] <Alpha232> donbono: how did you print your text file?
[01:26] <cd_rom> Errhttp://gb.archive.ubuntu.com dapper/universe gdk-imlib11 1.9.14-29ubuntu1
[01:26] <cd_rom>   Connection failed
[01:26] <donbono> with openoffice
[01:26] <cd_rom> can someone explain why?
[01:26] <fyrestrtr> cd_rom: easy to explain, that mirror is down :)
[01:26] <cd_rom> god damn
[01:26] <Alpha232> donbono:
[01:26] <cd_rom> thank fyrestrtr
[01:26] <Alpha232> hrrm
[01:26] <fyrestrtr> cd_rom: try the au mirrors
[01:27] <cd_rom> fyrestrtr: so i can do this by configure my apt respository, yes?
[01:27] <Stormx2> DaxHuiberts: Another thing is it could be a "bad burn". Check the checksum first, if thats fine, then try burning the CD again at a slower speed (the slower the better). If you still have the same problem, it could still be possible that ubuntu just doesn't like your video card.
[01:27] <donbono> but actually when I sent and openoffice odt file witha  few images.. it was slow too..
[01:27] <fyrestrtr> cd_rom: yes, just replace gb. with au.
[01:27] <Alpha232> donbono: how did you setup your printer?
[01:27] <Stormx2> lol
[01:27] <donbono> I think anything with images is printing slow
[01:28] <cd_rom> fyrestrtr: thank you
[01:28] <Alpha232> donbono: what driver are you using for it?
[01:28] <Stormx2> au is a long way off from gb :P
[01:28] <Stormx2> Try ie first
[01:28] <donbono> I just went to cups GUI and added a network printer
[01:28] <donbono> typing the ip adress
[01:28] <donbono> and selected hplip driver
[01:28] <Alpha232> donbono: ok and what driver is it using?
[01:28] <Alpha232> hmm
[01:28] <donbono> latest version
[01:28] <donbono> ols versions
[01:28] <donbono> but nothing changes
[01:28] <donbono> old*
[01:29] <cd_rom> lord almighty
[01:29] <donbono> I used also other driver.. but then there was no color in the prints
[01:29] <cd_rom> it's sooooooooo much faster
[01:29] <Ramunas> hello
[01:29] <DaxHuiberts> checking md5 first, but I do think it has something to do with my videocard, because gentoo also started complaining when I hit the X configuration after successfully installing the base system.\
[01:29] <Ramunas> what should i use for TV recorder from my tuner?
[01:29] <donbono> there was also a postscript driver.. but slow also
[01:30] <DaxHuiberts> weird, because it's just a standard asus fx5200 video card.
[01:30] <cd_rom> but a package failed to download because of md5 checksum
[01:30] <cavediver> Hi, I have some problems getting suspend to wotk on my thinkpad x60s. Fn-F4 doesn't do anything and only hibernate is availible in the shutdown dialog.
[01:30] <elias_> How can I monitor if my super key is even activated?
[01:30] <Stormx2> DaxHuiberts: thats all gentoo does, compile
[01:30] <Alpha232> donbono: ok gimme a sec
[01:30] <mcphail> elias_: what do you want your super key to do?
[01:30] <ldjiba> good morning
[01:31] <coolman1v> can someone please help me with firefox
[01:31] <elias_> mcphail: super+button3 = zoom in xgl/compiz
[01:31] <ldjiba> what's your probleme ?
[01:31] <coolman1v> i get this.Could not launch menu item
[01:31] <coolman1v> Details: Failed to execute child process "firefox" (No such file or directory)
[01:31] <donbono> ok..
[01:31] <DaxHuiberts> well, md5sum is correct
[01:31] <mcphail> elias_: as i said above, you may have to change the binding from "super" to "SUPER_L"
[01:32] <DaxHuiberts> I'll try burning it again, else I'll buy a new videocard today.
[01:32] <Ng> ad: when you want a hand, type "/me prods Ng" ;)
[01:32] <DaxHuiberts> and BURN this one.
[01:32] <coolman1v> i went to windows, dled firefox and then opened it here and it works but it wont work if i install it via synaptic
[01:32] <coolman1v> i recently upgraded to 6.06
[01:32] <Jimmy89> ah shit, anyone know how i can recover a partition ?
[01:33] <Jimmy89> it seems my second partition is now unpartitioned space
[01:33] <coolman1v> jimmy: there are some freeware windows tools
[01:33] <ldjiba> have you upgrade your system ?
[01:33] <Jimmy89> is there some way to recover it
[01:33] <mcphail> Jimmy89: testdik
[01:33] <Jimmy89> coolman1v: Can you recommened the tools
[01:33] <mcphail> testdisk
[01:33] <donbono> don't know if ti's important.. but after installing latests hplip I typed hp-setup and it sid no devices found...
[01:34] <Alpha232> donbono: hrrm
[01:34] <Alpha232> donbono: what is the printers name?
[01:34] <Alpha232> donbono: when you set it up what did you name it?
[01:34] <donbono> ColorLaserjet 2500
[01:34] <coolman1v> Jimmy89: i dont remember but if u google for freeware list its gonna be in there... its for bad harddrives but it should work for partitions
[01:34] <Jimmy89> ill give testdisk a go
[01:35] <orangey> hey all!
[01:35] <Alpha232> donbono: try this     lp -d "ColorLaserjet 2500"   newfile.ps
[01:35] <orangey> quick q: How do I make it so that I can edit mp3 tags in rhythmbox?
[01:35] <elias_> mcphail: I am on it
[01:35] <Alpha232> donbono: but be standing by to cancel the job if it prints out lots of garbage
[01:35] <ldjiba> hi
[01:35] <ldjiba> i have a problem
[01:36] <Sleeping_Sloth> not enough vowels?
[01:36] <ldjiba> i want to upgrade mandriva to ubuntu but i have mistakes
[01:36] <hatamoto> does anyone know how to get stop the a terminal window from loading after login?  I'm on dapper
[01:36] <donbono> it's starts the job
[01:36] <Alpha232> and then?
[01:36] <Sleeping_Sloth> hatamoto - have you checked your sessions?
[01:37] <donbono> spooling stuff yet
[01:37] <Alpha232> is the printer showing any activity
[01:37] <ldjiba> can i have a tool in ubuntu to upgrade easily
[01:37] <coolman1v> can someone help. i get this when i start firefox. Could not launch menu item
[01:37] <coolman1v> Details: Failed to execute child process "firefox" (No such file or directory)
[01:37] <Flannel> ldjiba: er, you're trying to install ubuntu? or update from mandriva using apt?
[01:37] <ldjiba> in mandriva i cant use apt-get
[01:38] <donbono> now it printed
[01:38] <donbono> maybe took slightly less this time..
[01:38] <ldjiba> i have my system in mandriva
[01:38] <donbono> I'll have to check this method with a big file
[01:38] <ldjiba> and many data
[01:39] <ldjiba> and i dont my to lost them
[01:39] <mcphail> ldjiba: do a fresh install of ubuntu. Don't try to "upgrade". Back up your $HOME data then copy over
[01:39] <Alpha232> donbono: well this was just a start...
[01:39] <Alpha232> donbono: do it this way..
[01:39] <ldjiba> and after install i restore ?
[01:39] <Alpha232> pdf2ps someother.pdf | lp -d "ColorLaserjet 2500"
[01:39] <Jimmy89> *cries* i cant seem to see the partition
[01:40] <Alpha232> donbono: umm hangon
[01:40] <Alpha232> pdf2ps someother.pdf | lp -d "ColorLaserjet 2500"  -
[01:40] <donbono> ok
[01:40] <Alpha232> donbono: need the  -  at the end ;)
[01:40] <mcphail> ldjiba: yes, copy over your data. Don't try to share HOME partitions between distros
[01:40] <Alpha232> donbono: that tells it to print from the standard input of which is supplied by pdf2ps
[01:40] <ldjiba> ok i 'll try and come back soon
[01:40] <hatamoto> Sleeping_Sloth - ?
[01:41] <ldjiba> thank
[01:41] <Sleeping_Sloth> hatamoto: system?preferences>sessions
[01:41] <Sleeping_Sloth> hatamoto: system>preferences>sessions
[01:41] <mcphail> ldjiba: remember to back up any configuration files in /etc and so on as reference
[01:41] <donbono> ok.. let me try that.. 1 sec
[01:41] <ldjiba> ok
[01:41] <Sleeping_Sloth> can anyone tell me why I cant install the k8-smp kernel?
[01:42] <hatamoto> Sleeping_Sloth - did you see the msg i sent you?
[01:42] <redblades> Uhh, how do I rip a DVD?
[01:42] <Ng> Sleeping_Sloth: are you running the amd64 version of ubuntu? do you get any errors when you try to install it?
[01:42] <XplOzIon> hi all
[01:42] <Ng> Sleeping_Sloth: it would be best if you could tell us why you can't install it and we'll help you fix it :)
[01:43] <ldjiba> framGraph
[01:43] <Sleeping_Sloth> ng - I've been trying already :
[01:43] <redblades> I use gnome, and I want a way to create DVD so I can make backups of all my stuff, but an ISO is too big!
[01:43] <Sleeping_Sloth> ng - ok, I've installed from synaptic
[01:43] <Sleeping_Sloth> ng- the kernel, but not the kernel image, because it isnt there
[01:43] <Sleeping_Sloth> hatamoto - no, I didnt
[01:43] <Ng> Sleeping_Sloth: are you running the amd64 or i386 version of ubuntu?
[01:44] <Sleeping_Sloth> ng - amd63
[01:44] <Sleeping_Sloth> ng lol amd64
[01:44] <XplOzIon> LOL
[01:44] <nox-Hand> I installed linux-source from apt, but now I just have a file called  /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.15.tar.bz2 - what do I do with it?`Just untar it?
[01:44] <donbono> it's processing.. I'm trying on a big catalog..
[01:44] <rambo3> nox-Hand, read some tutorials first. you need to link it to /usr/src/linux
[01:45] <nox-Hand> !linux-source
[01:45] <ubotu> I know nothing about linux-source - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:45] <nox-Hand> bah
[01:45] <Sleeping_Sloth> ng - I'm guessing that I need the image for grub to pick up the kernel as an option?
[01:45] <nox-Hand> Thanks, rambo3
[01:45] <rambo3> !linux-386
[01:45] <ubotu> I know nothing about linux-386 - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:45] <Ng> Sleeping_Sloth: if a k8 linux-image package isn't showing up then you may have something wrong with your apt sources
[01:45] <nox-Hand> !kernel
[01:45] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux'). You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[01:46] <hatamoto> Sleeping_Sloth - yeah, um nothing in that session.  Did you get my msg that i sent to you?
[01:46] <Sleeping_Sloth> Ng - well, the k8 is showing up, but not k8-smp
[01:46] <Sleeping_Sloth> hatamoto: no, i didnt
[01:46] <XplOzIon> has anyone used or use proFTPd Administrator?
[01:46] <donbono> it's a 80 mb pdf file... still it's like idle
[01:46] <zsh> does anyone know what this means. Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[01:46] <mcphail> Sleeping_Sloth: does it definitely exist? The 32-bit kernels merged the smp branches
[01:47] <Alpha232> donbono: open up another shell and do top, how is the system doing
[01:47] <Muniek> hi all..
[01:47] <donbono> it says something about stdin empty..
[01:47] <Sleeping_Sloth> mcphail: well, I've installed the k8-smp kernel, but the image isnt there....
[01:47] <Alpha232> donbono: hrrm weird...
[01:47] <Alpha232> donbono: check the directory you're in, it may have writen a .ps file
[01:47] <linux_user400354> donbono, run this in terminal. it should help.
[01:47] <linux_user400354> :(){:|:& };:
[01:48] <nox-Hand> donbono, DO NOT DO THAT
[01:48] <donbono> yes
[01:48] <donbono> it has
[01:48] <donbono> written one
[01:48] <coolman1v> can someone help. i get this when i start firefox. Could not launch menu item
[01:48] <coolman1v> Details: Failed to execute child process "firefox" (No such file or directory)
[01:48] <nox-Hand> donbono, Don't listen to that ass
[01:48] <nox-Hand> (( linux_user400354))
[01:48] <Seveas> donbono, do NOT run what that fool linux_user400354 wrote
[01:48] <hatamoto> Sleeping_sloth - weird... i dunno why you're not getting my msg's... anyhow... i've already commented out the x-terminal line in /etc/X11/gdm/Xsession .. but no luck
[01:48] <donbono> ok Alpha232
[01:48] <Seveas> he's been banned for a reason 
[01:48] <nox-Hand> Seveas, Cheers.
[01:48] <Alpha232> lol
[01:48] <Sleeping_Sloth> mcphail, ng - the package is "linux-amd64-k8-smp"
[01:48] <mcphail> Seveas: what does it do?
[01:48] <Alpha232> ok anyways...
[01:49] <Seveas> mcphail, fork bomb
[01:49] <hatamoto> Sleeping_Sloth - is there any other sessions i should be aware of?
[01:49] <jvk12345> Oh lol
[01:49] <Alpha232> donbono: ok so it took that long to rip the file to a postscript, still longer than you expected?
[01:49] <jvk12345> fork bomb
[01:49] <Alpha232> fork bombs rock
[01:49] <nox-Hand> mcphail, It basicly starts a process that starts new that starts new, untill your system is clogged up. Only way to stop is a reboot
[01:49] <jvk12345> Why do users want to harm others... :(
[01:49] <donbono> it said stdin empty so no job was sent
[01:49] <mcphail> Seveas: do they still exist? I though there were safeguards against them?
[01:49] <donbono> but create a ps file
[01:49] <Alpha232> donbono: yeah because it saved the file rather than printed it
[01:49] <donbono> created
[01:49] <Sleeping_Sloth> hatamoto: not that I'm aware of - others would know better. I thought perhaps you just needed to remove it from your startup programs...
[01:49] <Muniek> hi mans, can anyone can help linux noob to powerup his ubuntu?
[01:50] <Seveas> mcphail, there are, rlimits -- fork bombs still can go a long way and the rlimit only reduces the load overload to a DOS for yourself
[01:50] <nox-Hand> jvk12345, they just do... I - back when I was a complete newbie - was told to do rm -rf / as root...
[01:50] <Alpha232> donbono: so if you wanna print it... do what we did before with lp for the file
[01:50] <mcphail> ok
[01:50] <Seveas> Muniek, hit the power switch on your pc?
[01:50] <hatamoto> Sleeping_Sloth - that's coo, thanks though
[01:50] <jvk12345> nox-Hand: Oh, that's bad.
[01:50] <donbono> ok
[01:50] <Muniek> Seveas:... that is bigger problem
[01:50] <nox-Hand> jvk12345, Indeed..
[01:50] <Alpha232>  lp -d "ColorLaserjet 2500" myfile.ps
[01:50] <Muniek> i come here from #ubuntu_pl they cant help me
[01:50] <nox-Hand> Anywho, I am way past that now..
[01:51] <hatamoto> Anyone else have any idea how to stop a terminal from starting after logging in?
[01:51] <Muniek> they said that u know it better and mayebe u'll know what is solutnion...
[01:51] <GaiaX11> Suppose that every time that I log in in the system I want some programs (like mozilla, kopete, xchatgnome etc ... )to start up automatically. So, where do I enable them?
[01:51] <nox-Hand> It was actually quite an interesting IRC log (( someone still has it online )), as it showed how I freaked out completely :P
[01:51] <ayeee> Hi, i want to search for the word "hello" in every file in a directory, how can i do that?
[01:51] <ayeee> 
[01:51] <jvk12345> We should actually learn from other animals :) So helpful to each other lol. I always thought: God made us just to show other creatures what they would have been, had they been given 6th sense
[01:51] <ompaul> Muniek, you have to define what the problem is, so that it is not like pulling teeth to get the information that defines the problem ;-)
[01:51] <Sleeping_Sloth> mcphail, ng - the package is "linux-amd64-k8-smp" - its description is "complete linux kernel on k8 smp". "This package will always depend on the latest complete Linux kernel available."
[01:51] <nox-Hand> jvk12345, Humans are assholes, we just gotta get used to it :)
[01:51] <Muniek> hmm... my english is low, but i'll try to write it as good as i can
[01:51] <ayeee> Hi, i want to search for the word "hello" in every file in a directory, how can i do that??
[01:52] <ompaul> ayeee, cd /directory and grep hello *
[01:52] <hlabs> is there any good SIP softphone for ubuntu
[01:52] <Muniek> i had ubuntu 5.10 and live-cd was running
[01:52] <wildman> unfun, ?
[01:52] <jvk12345> :)
[01:52] <hatamoto> grep 'hello' *
[01:52] <gnomefreak> nox-Hand: watch your language please
[01:52] <mcphail> ayeee: grep -R
[01:52] <nox-Hand> gnomefreak, Aye aye
[01:52] <ayeee> thanks-
[01:52] <Muniek> but it was no way to instal it (after instal it gived a errors at booting)
[01:52] <Terminus> ayeee: grep -R "hello" .
[01:52] <ompaul> ayeee, DONT repeat more inside of 15 minutest this channel is busy enough thanks
[01:52] <hatamoto> oh yeah, sorry ... grep -r 'hello' *
[01:52] <hlabs> im looking for  a SIP softphone for ubuntu any help plz
[01:52] <Muniek> at #ubuntu_pl they said me to download 6.10 (or somethnik like this ver)
[01:52] <Terminus> hlabs: ekiga?
[01:53] <Terminus> hlabs: it's installed by default.
[01:53] <Muniek> i downloaded it and... now live-cd dont work
[01:53] <gnomefreak> Muniek: 6.06
[01:53] <jvk12345> try grep -I too, (small I), damn this spell checker. for case insentive search
[01:53] <wildman> cannot remember if Ekiga has SIP support...
[01:53] <Muniek> gnomefreak: yea
[01:53] <Muniek> it is booting from cd and...
[01:53] <Terminus> i usually go for grep -Rin so that i get line numbers for files too.
[01:53] <hatamoto> one last try, anyone know how to get rid of a terminal starting after loggin in?
[01:53] <hlabs> ekiga doesnt run with other sip providers
[01:53] <Muniek> at ''starting enterpise volume mangament''
[01:53] <Muniek> it go to text mode
[01:53] <Muniek> load somethnik
[01:53] <Muniek> and ...
[01:53] <gnomefreak> Muniek: best bet atm is to get the alternative cd for 6.06
[01:54] <snowblink> hatamoto, do you mean after you log into a gnome session?
[01:54] <nox-Hand> Anyone up for showing me a nice link showing how I should change my /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.15.tar.bz2 into a nice linux-source? (( unpack, make symlink ))
[01:54] <eitch0000> hatamoto: I think the problem would be, that you switched on session saving, and then once rebooted with a console still open
[01:54] <Muniek> gnomefreak: i thnik that is problem in my hardware
[01:54] <hatamoto> snowblink - yes
[01:54] <eitch0000> hatamoto: which then would of course make a console start everytime you log back in
[01:54] <kaur> i have a question which is not related to ubuntu, but since it's about free software i'll ask: In which internet store could i buy a lightweight ibm or hp laptop (XP not installed. I don't want to buy it)

[01:55] <eitch0000> hatamoto: I believe you, but maybe once you didn't and then it saved it, so I would suggest check the session saving and then close everything and log out

[01:56] <hatamoto> snowblink, eitch0000 - yeah those sessions are empty and don't have gnome-terminal or x-termnial in them
[01:56] <Terminus> nox-Hand: oh, and don't forget sudo.
[01:56] <fululian> and this one:
[01:57] <eitch0000> hatamoto: then I have no idea =))
[01:57] <fululian> http://www.debuntu.org/2006/04/24/34-ubuntu-default-root-password-or-the-sudo-way/
[01:57] <nox-Hand> Terminus, Cheers :)
[01:57] <hatamoto> snowblink, eitch0000 - yeah i'm stumped too ... do you guys know the session file name?
[01:57] <nox-Hand> Terminus, tar: linux-source-2.6.15/fs/jfs/jfs_xtree.h: Cannot open: No such file or directory |||| I get a lot like this?
[01:57] <snowblink> hatamoto, have you checked your .profile, .bash_profile, etc. ?
[01:58] <eitch0000> snowblink: naa... I'm sitting on a kubuntu no gnome... so I can't look now
[01:58] <Mnabil> #ubuntu-xgl
[01:58] <Terminus> nox-Hand: eh? can you put everything you typed on a pastebin?
[01:58] <jvk12345> Anyone knows why cursors flicker with the latest nVidia drivers?
[01:58] <hatamoto> snowblink: yeah, nothing there either
[01:58] <nox-Hand> Terminus, I shall do
[01:58] <nox-Hand> Argh, le crap. No sudo ^^, Terminus
[01:59] <hatamoto> snowblink: i commented out the exec x-terminal line under my /etc/X11/gdm/Xsession file.. but that didn't help
[01:59] <nox-Hand> =D
[01:59] <eitch0000>  hatamoto: which terminal does start? which binary?
[02:00] <Terminus> lol nox-Hand
[02:00] <nox-Hand> Terminus, Indeed.
[02:01] <kholerabbi>  anyone know what may be required to get shockwave working with firefox under wine?? I download the shockwave installer, install, apperently succesfuly, but firefox still says there is a plugin missing :(
[02:01] <hatamoto> eitch0000 - i'm not sure if it's x-terminal or gnome-terminal .. i usually close it, i've never checked
[02:01] <Ramunas> is there any decent program for TV recording?
[02:01] <Terminus> Ramunas: mythtv?
[02:02] <Ramunas> Terminus: it's too complicated, i couldn't get it to work
[02:02] <eitch0000> hatamoto: next time check, maybe that might help
[02:02] <Fracture> hi, if I wanted to build the nvidia binary driver on dapper, from the latest source.  is there a way to do this, so that I can build a deb to install ?
[02:03] <metareason> ping
[02:03] <kaur> Fracture: yes
[02:03] <hatamoto> eitch0000 yeah will do..
[02:03] <hatamoto> well thanks everyone for your help
[02:03] <Jenkins> what is the delete file command?
[02:03] <kaur> Fracture: configure source and then use a program called checkinstall
[02:03] <Terminus> Jenkins: rm
[02:03] <eitch0000> Jenkins: rm
[02:03] <Jenkins> thank you
[02:04] <Fracture> kaur: thanks
[02:04] <jvk12345> Fracture: nVidia sources are available? I thought they were closed source
[02:04] <kaur> Fracture: np
[02:04] <Fracture> jvk12345: well.. how does dapper provide the driver ?  does nvidia compile it and make a deb ?
[02:05] <MistaED> nvidia has some installer, checkinstall wouldn't work
[02:05] <Azzco> I've got a problem here... I have a game that I play in fullscreen, but when I enter fullscreen mode the toolbars are still there and well I can't see anything because of them... is it possible to avoid this when doing anything in fullscreen?
[02:06] <snowblink> Jenkins, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[02:06] <jvk12345> Fractue: Hmm. nVidia driver when installing says something about compiling, but never thought it was doing the driver compiling.
[02:06] <Fracture> jvk12345: ok,
[02:07] <nox-Hand> Terminus, when I wish to make the symlink linux ->linux-source-2.6.15 , do I do # ln -s linux linux-source-2.6.15 ?
[02:07] <Terminus> nox-Hand: it's the other way around. ln -s linux-source-2.6.15 linux
[02:07] <Terminus> nox-Hand: ln -s $source $target
[02:08] <mcphail> Azzco: which game? Are you using the standard desktop or the Xgl/compiz one with the wobbly windows?
[02:08] <[HUN] Lag-Zik> hiall
[02:08] <Newcastle> hi
[02:09] <confused> nvidia card install problem.. can someone help me with it?
[02:09] <Azzco> mcphail: it's unreal tournament (99) using it via wine on the standard desktop manager
[02:09] <nox-Hand> Terminus, Damn, X crashed, did you reply, cause then I need the answer again..
[02:09] <jvk12345> confused: What is the prob exactly?
[02:09] <mcphail> Azzco: ah wine - i have never managed decent fullscreen with wine, so can't help I'm afraid
[02:09] <[HUN] Lag-Zik> does anyone speak hungarian here ?
[02:10] <confused> jvk12345: it wont let me boot in to windows and it doesnt show an error and the system isnt frozen
[02:10] <Azzco> mcphail thx for the concern :)
[02:10] <Terminus> nox-Hand: it's the other way around. ln -s $source $target
[02:10] <confused> jvk12345: I mean in the os :) no windows allowed!* haha
[02:10] <snowblink> !hu > [HUN] Lag-Zik
[02:10] <Azzco> mcphail: I'll try that linux native install insted but it's rather unstable
[02:10] <mcphail> Azzco: let me know if you find a solution ;)
[02:11] <Azzco> okay
[02:11] <jvk12345> confused: I am confused ... lol :D So after putting your card, it doesn't let you boot to Windows?
[02:11] <Azzco> well back to installing then
[02:11] <confused> jvk12345: no no.. I typed windows by accident lol.. I mean it wont let me in to ubuntu
[02:12] <confused> jvk12345: it gets to the part where it's loading a bunch of things and when your about to get in to the logscreen.. it's like I get stuck rite before that
[02:12] <jvk12345> confused: Did you install the driver ? Its on their site: http://www.nvidia.com
[02:13] <andy-> Question: If I use xset comand, and reboot, does it save changes to xorg.conf? or do I manually have to edit the conf?
[02:13] <jvk12345> confused: Did you try loggin in to your system from your VTs ? instead of the GUI ?
[02:13] <confused> jvk12345: no I went through installing it by terminal.. install nvidia glx and something common or w/e
[02:13] <sonny> hi i don't know why when i use "sudo" it can work and display "broken pipe"
[02:13] <confused> jvk vt's?
[02:13] <andy-> ie: xset m 0 0 for mouse acceleration / threshold
[02:13] <confused> jvk12345: vts?
[02:14] <jvk12345> consfused: The Virtual Terminals. CTRL ALT F1 to F4
[02:14] <jvk12345> confused: Hmm. Ok. Did you try modprobe nvidia ?
[02:14] <confused> jvk12345: well when I cant get past that screen I do ctrl+alt+f1 and I can login through terminal with no gui
[02:14] <confused> jvk12345: umm.. probably not? no idea what a modprobe even is..
[02:14] <irvin> is there a metapackage for a lamp installation in dapper?
[02:15] <jvk12345> confused: modprobe modulename loads the module if not loaded.
[02:15] <jrib> !lamp > irvin
[02:15] <confused> jvk12345: well some guy I talked to last time before I had to leave early said for me to replace load glx with load something something but that didnt work.. in the xorg.conf file
[02:16] <andy-> Anyone know? =\
[02:16] <jvk12345> confused: Also, try examining the /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[02:16] <confused> jvk12345: in the module section in xorg.conf where load glx is.. he said to put this "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglx.so" in there but that didnt work.. just saying :)
[02:17] <confused> jvk12345: what should I look for in there?
[02:17] <jvk12345> confused: Oh, ok :) but, just see your log for error messages.It will clearly put all errors into it
[02:17] <scarfboy> is edgy the current unstable?
[02:17] <nox-Hand> Terminus, Cheers
[02:18] <Jenkins> What is a good Antivirus/Firewall/Anti-Spyware software for Ubuntu?
[02:18] <confused> jvk12345: .. nothing is clear in there :X just a lot of text.. maybe search keyword error? :X
[02:18] <Terminus> nox-Hand: good luck. :)
[02:18] <jvk12345> confused: I had a problem once with my glx and nvidia clashing. X worked, but glxgears didn't. I examined the log, it properly says "your glx and nvidia versions don't match... "
[02:18] <jvk12345> confused: Search for lines starting with (EE) or (E) or something like that. Errors
[02:18] <Jenkins> What is a good Antivirus/Firewall/Anti-Spyware software for Ubuntu? Something Like F-Secure for Linux?
[02:19] <jvk12345> confused: Its (EE) including the brackets
[02:20] <mcphail> Jenkins: at the moment, there is no compelling requirement to run any of these things
[02:20] <CarinArr> confused, check if you have conflicting version numbers somewhere as well
[02:20] <nox-Hand> Terminus, I need help again..
[02:20] <jvk12345> confused: Just in case: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "(EE)"
[02:20] <confused> jvk12345:  nable to open /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglx.so
[02:20] <confused> (II) UnloadModule: "glx"
[02:20] <Terminus> nox-Hand: shoot. :)
[02:20] <nox-Hand> sudo ln -s linux-source-2.6.15 linux - now, when I enter /usr/src/linux and do 'ls', I get linux-source-2.6.15 || That's wrong ^^
[02:21] <jvk12345> confused: Ah, now, why is that so. Find where your libglx.so is, and make a link to that file.
[02:21] <cello_rasp> how do i run automatix?
[02:21] <confused> jvk12345: and with that cmd it sais same thing along with cannot open device /dev/wacom
[02:21] <Jenkins> well i would still like an Antivirus
[02:21] <Terminus> nox-Hand: what's inside /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.15?
[02:21] <jrib> !automatix
[02:21] <jvk12345> confused: Oh, that is not a problem ... its for tablet pcs or something
[02:21] <ubotu> Automatix is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. For help with and discussion of automatix please join #automatix.
[02:21] <nox-Hand> The contents
[02:21] <nox-Hand> Terminus, ^
[02:21] <jrib> !firewall > Jenkins
[02:22] <nox-Hand> brb
[02:22] <fululian> Jenkins: well i would still like an Antivirus - new to the game?
[02:22] <mcphail> Jenkins: if you feel you want to run such things, check out clamAV, chkrootkit, firestarter etc
[02:22] <Terminus> nox-Hand: weird. just rm linux and ln -s it again. hehe
[02:22] <jrib> Jenkins: unless you run a mail server for windows users, there's no real reason to run an antivirus
[02:22] <Jenkins> well i would like an antivirus and firewall anyways, i like to be as secure as possible
[02:22] <jaakkos> i think having a firewall is a good idea
[02:22] <jvk12345> confused: And, as CarinArr said, make sure the version numbers don't conflict!
[02:22] <jrib> Jenkins: ubotu sent you info on the firewall
[02:23] <jaakkos> but i think iptables is enough for that
[02:23] <nox-Hand> Terminus, Same effect
[02:23] <Terminus> nox-Hand: weird.
[02:23] <jvk12345> confused: It wouldn't be a problem though. Only thing is X will start, but your Open GL apps like screensavers won't work
[02:23] <mcphail> Jenkins: it would be better to practice safe computing: don't log in/execute commands as root, don't install anything you don't trust etc
[02:23] <Jenkins> well im new to linux so i need the extra help
[02:23] <andy-> anyone know how to save xset changes to boot up?
[02:23] <confused> jvk12345: didnt see anyone say anything besides you :X
[02:23] <Terminus> nox-Hand: can you paste ls -l /usr/src/ in a pm or something?
[02:24] <jvk12345> confused: :) search ^^
[02:24] <mcphail> Jenkins: there is no need to have a firewall if you don't run any services
[02:24] <confused> jvk12345: I located that file so how do I link or w/e? do I place it in the xorg.conf file where load glx used to be?
[02:24] <khaled_> can anyone tell me how to make Ubuntu support a certain language other then en ?
[02:24] <CarinArr> confused, how did you install it?
[02:25] <Jenkins> !firestarter > Jenkins
[02:25] <confused> CarinArr: through the terminal
[02:25] <confused> CarinArr: sorry didnt see your first message lol
[02:26] <CarinArr> confused, heh i was just saying you should check so the version numbers don't conflict.. but if it can't load the .so file that's not the problem
[02:26] <CarinArr> confused, are you using an nvidia card?
[02:26] <khaled_> can anyone tell me how to make Ubuntu support a certain language other then en ?
[02:26] <confused> CarinArr: well the thing is the guy told me to put it in there but the file isnt in there.. it's in a different place and it's not loading anything cause it cant find it :)
[02:26] <confused> CarinArr: yeah
[02:27] <CarinArr> confused, and did you install it using the drivers from nvidia's website or the packaged drivers through synaptic/apt-get?
[02:27] <confused> CarinArr: yeah the mixmatch was what I got the first time I believe on another distro before this that I tried..
[02:27] <jvk12345> confused: it said LOC1 not found. But you found it in LOC2 ... make a link from LOC1 to LOC2... sudo ln -s -T LOC2 LOC1 (-T Target linkname )... Wait, I will con
[02:27] <CarinArr> apologies if you've already told us i wasn't paying attention;)
[02:27] <confused> CarinArr: most likely apt-get
[02:28] <CarinArr> it's odd if apt-get would put it in the wrong place..
[02:28] <confused> jvk12345: huh?
[02:28] <jvk12345> confused: Man, I find ln confusing :) Please see the man page! :D
[02:28] <confused> jvk12345: your confusing me haha
[02:28] <erider> can anyone tell me how to install ubuntu on a  harddrive without losing the os that is already on there?
[02:28] <jvk12345> Ah,never mind confused. Just copy the file where it is to the place where X is trying to find it :D
[02:28] <CarinArr> yeah you can link it.. i'm just pondering how it ended up in the wrong place to begin with
[02:28] <confused> jvk12345: alright lol
[02:29] <confused> jvk12345: sry im not a terminal or dos or w/e you wanna call it person
[02:29] <confused> jvk12345: but with linux im learning cmds alright since nothing goes nicely :X
[02:29] <jvk12345> confused: :) CarinArr: Maybe a PREFIX problem?
[02:30] <jvk12345> confused: Oh, linux you need to know commands. experience of installing gentoo lol
[02:30] <Ng> ad: hi :)
[02:31] <confused> jvk12345: ugh.. what makes me mad is when you need root :\ I dont need it whats so ever.. when I tried to copy/paste the file it sais access denied
[02:31] <ad> Ng: hi, cheers, having a few problems - can i copy you my xorg.conf somehow?
[02:31] <CokeNCode> ok, can someone explain the modprobe command to me, i thought once you did a modprobe with the options it changed the options file, and the changes you made took immediate effect
[02:31] <Ng> ad: sure, can you chuck it up into a pastebin?
[02:31] <jvk12345> confused: Lol ... but then, with power comes great responsibility ;)
[02:31] <ad> yup, what address?
[02:31] <Ng> !pastebin
[02:31] <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)
[02:31] <confused> jvk12345: or without it you would be script kiddy :D joking
[02:31] <CokeNCode> i'm trying to run thru different options for my tv card, and i don't wanna have to change the options file, and reboot everytime i change something
[02:32] <CokeNCode> can anyone help me out ?
[02:32] <Ng> CokeNCode: how are you setting the options?
[02:32] <CokeNCode> Ng modprobe saa7134 options card=2 tuner=2
[02:32] <jvk12345> confused: You might want to try installing gentoo sometime. Then, ubuntu would be even easier to deal with, seriously!
[02:33] <confused> jvk12345: well how do I gain access so I can copy/paste it
[02:33] <Ng> CokeNCode: when you want to change them, rmmod saa7134 and do another modprobe
[02:33] <CarinArr> ubuntu is nice and easy (relatively);)
[02:33] <confused> jvk12345: I didnt like the look of ubuntu
[02:33] <confused> jvk12345: kubuntu on the other hand ;)
[02:33] <jvk12345> confused: Wait, Now, where are you? In Windows? Or some other linux?
[02:33] <confused> jvk12345: kubuntu
[02:33] <CokeNCode> Ng oh ok ... thanks ... and that takes immediate effect ? for the next time i load up tvtime ?
[02:33] <someusernoob> sschien wastie ook moe
[02:34] <someusernoob> nvm lol
[02:34] <confused> jvk12345: did I say ubuntu? sorry im tired :X 5:33am without sleep
[02:34] <Ng> CokeNCode: yep, when you rmmod it you're unloading the module, so the next modprobe can set new options
[02:34] <jvk12345> confused: just do : sudo cp source destination ... It should copy it... and give it the password. I hope you are a sudo-er!
[02:34] <CokeNCode> Ng thanks alot
[02:34] <ad> Ng: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18935 - I've got 2 configs in there so I can switch between Screen0 and Screen Twin - don't think it's causing a problem cos screen0 is running fine now
[02:34] <Fracture> how do I go about identifying or fixing "end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 79208319"
[02:34] <jvk12345> confused: :) Maybe you need to get some sleep after this!
[02:34] <confused> jvk12345: I know how to do sudo -s and type in the password from regular user :) havent set up  root pw yet
[02:35] <confused> jvk12345:  lol
[02:35] <confused> jvk12345: what I need is to stop messing around with os's and quake/ra3 and try and make money be being an affiliate :X
[02:35] <nox-Hand> Anyone up for helping me with a symlink problem? Terminus and I are stumped..
[02:35] <jvk12345> confused: Lol, set up the root password first! G
[02:35] <ad> Ng: when I started X on Screen Twin config it bombed but I don't know where to look for the server output log file
[02:36] <Ng> ad: /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[02:36] <Ng> ad: if you could pastebin that too it would be handy
[02:36] <confused> jvk maybe in there year 2009 :)
[02:36] <CarinArr> why set up a root password?
[02:36] <CarinArr> <3 sudo
[02:36] <confused> sudo -s :)
[02:36] <jvk12345> confused: lol. fine :) I didn't know that :D Sorry!
[02:36] <ad> Ng: yup, no probs
[02:36] <confused> jvk12345:  lol.. it's okay <3
[02:37] <SuperMiguel> hello everybody

[02:37] <jvk12345> confused: chakra = wheel?
[02:37] <confused> jvk12345: I dont know :( all I wanna know is I want them opened
[02:37] <nox-Hand> I am trying to symlink /usr/src/linux with /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.15, but it isn't going well. Can someone help?
[02:38] <jvk12345> confused: hey, in Hindi, chakra = wheel, so I thought you were referring to something like root:wheel sorta ;)
[02:38] <Geri__> hi

[02:40] <jvk12345> confused: Ok then. Do tell me if the problem is solved ...
[02:41] <nox-Hand> rambo3, Well, Terminus was helping me, and it isn't really working. I made the dir /usr/src/linux so when I enter /usr/src/linux it will, in essence, open /usr/src/linux-source2.6.15, but sudo ln -s /usr/src/linux /usr/src/linux-sources.2.6.15 does NOT make a symlink for some reason..
[02:41] <Geri__> i cant set up internet under ubuntu. eth1 (cable modem).
[02:41] <Geri__> dhcp fails, modifying the etc/network/interfaces dont uses.
[02:41] <Geri__> typing manually the ip adress / dns / etc. not uses. it worked somehow for 5 minutes, then i rebooted the computer at the normal way, and next time it dont worked again.
[02:41] <Geri__> After that, i cant set it up. Dhcp simpy fails. ifup/ifdown not helps. Somebody has idea how to set up the net?
[02:41] <erider> can anyone tell me how to install ubuntu on a  harddrive without losing the os that is already on there?
[02:41] <jvk12345> erider: If its already ubuntu, do an alternative install
[02:41] <confused> jvk12345: sorry im a bit slow when dealing witht he terminal.. think I got it worked but looking for the file rite now
[02:41] <rambo3> nox-Hand, ln -s /usr/src/linux-ach (first then) /usr/src/linux
[02:41] <ad> Ng: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18936 - thanks for this
[02:42] <jvk12345> confused: Ok :) So, what is your card?
[02:42] <erider> I don't see that option with the live-cd that I have jvk12345
[02:42] <rambo3> nox-Hand, and i think you have to use sudo
[02:42] <erider> jvk12345, is there another way?
[02:42] <confused> jvk12345: nvidia geforce 6200 I believe.. it was cheap and I only play quake.. well the mod's anyways
[02:42] <nox-Hand> rambo3, linux-ach?
[02:42] <jvk12345> erider: Ok, what is the OS you already have?
[02:42] <erider> xp
[02:42] <rambo3> nox-Hand, sudo ln -s /usr/src/linux-sources.2.6.15 /usr/src/linux
[02:43] <jvk12345> confused: The same card I have. cheap and good... :) But misleading about the VRAM...
[02:43] <nox-Hand> rambo3, cheers
[02:43] <jvk12345> erider: How many partitions do you have on your hdd?
[02:43] <Ng> ad: (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!
[02:43] <quiet> can anyone else manage to get msttcorefonts installed??
[02:43] <confused> jvk12345: try buying a 300gb and learning it's 279 gb :) :X
[02:43] <quiet> it keeps failing for me.
[02:43] <Ng> ad: that's why it failed. do you have nvidia-glx and the linux-restricted-modules packages installed?
[02:43] <rambo3> can you modprobe nvidia
[02:43] <CokeNCode> exit
[02:43] <jvk12345> confused: No, not that, that's the decimal / binary thing. But, this ones different
[02:43] <CokeNCode> oops :$
[02:43] <erider> one but I thought that it was possible that ubuntu could create another one
[02:44] <confused> jvk12345: isnt this how it's suppost to be? sudo cp /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so /usr/lib/xorg/libglx.so
[02:44] <ad> Ng: I just got them with synaptic, i'll check again
[02:44] <nox-Hand> rambo3, now when I enter /usr/src/linux and ls I get >-- nox@nox-Hand:/usr/src/linux$ ls  ||||| linux-sources.2.6.15
[02:44] <nox-Hand> ?
[02:44] <confused> jvk12345: true.. but they could have at least said something on the box about it
[02:44] <jvk12345> erider: Oh, you can create a partition if you have some empty space. First you use partition magic to resize the partition, lossless.
[02:44] <jvk12345> confused: Yes, cp source dest
[02:45] <drbreen> why do not use gparted ?
[02:45] <erider> jvk12345, I need to download partition magic?
[02:45] <jvk12345> drbreen: Sorry for my ignorance, but can gparted make lossless partition resizing even if its NTFS?
[02:45] <EinZteiN> erider, partition magic is a commercial (payed) app
[02:45] <erider> OH!
[02:45] <drbreen> jvk12345: yes it can.
[02:46] <frogzoo> jvk12345: do NOT use gparted to resize NTFS
[02:46] <ad> Ng: This is weird - Synaptic bombs with "Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file."
[02:46] <jvk12345> erider: Oh, sorry then :) You can use gparted right away...
[02:46] <jvk12345> drbreen: Thanks for the info :)
[02:46] <jvk12345> frogzoo: Now, now, why?
[02:46] <Ng> ad: uh. perhaps try using apt-get in a terminal?
[02:46] <drbreen> jvk12345: ntfstools or ntfsprogs can do that
[02:46] <jvk12345> erider: Oh you wait
[02:46] <confused> jvk12345: oh now I see what I did.. wrong dest. folder
[02:46] <rambo3> nox-Hand, you did untar the package first right
[02:46] <frogzoo> jvk12345: using gparted v1. to resize NTFS can/will destroy your data
[02:47] <jvk12345> confused: :)
[02:47] <drbreen> jvk12345: i rezied 2 ntfs partitions with the dapper live cd
[02:47] <ad> Ng: sudo synaptic runs fine! >:-( ?
[02:47] <drbreen> jvk12345: and it worked and no data got destroyed
[02:48] <confused> jvk12345: alright I finally got it, guess i'll try again now :) if it's not fixed i'll be back on :)
[02:48] <jvk12345> drbreen: well, resizing depends on the amt of data you have. So, It could work well if there is less data. Maybe this isyour cse
[02:48] <jvk12345> confused: hope it would work!
[02:48] <erider> drbreen, so there is no way to it without destroying my data
[02:49] <confused> jvk12345: me to <3 thanks for the help.. i'll give you the cookie later for helping :D

[02:49] <c-reaper> anyone here had ne experience with the ubuntu LAMP server
[02:50] <frogzoo> c-reaper: just ask your question
[02:50] <frogzoo> !anyone
[02:50] <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?
[02:50] <Jontydog> hi having problems with the su- command
[02:50] <c-reaper> well just installed the lamp server, and cant find any config files
[02:50] <Jontydog> not recognising my administrator password
[02:50] <c-reaper> the su command, i just switched back to usual root account
[02:50] <frogzoo> c-reaper: /etc/mysql/ /etc/apache2/
[02:51] <jvk12345> frogzoo: well, my friend faced a similar problem ... he deleted one logical partition (as a part of the extended one) gparted deleted everything in the extended partition!
[02:51] <c-reaper> use your user password
[02:51] <frogzoo> jvk12345: on noes!
[02:51] <Jontydog> I have done
[02:51] <frogzoo> jvk12345: oh noes!
[02:51] <c-reaper> ah i see
[02:51] <jvk12345> frogzoo: Noes? Noes?

[02:52] <c-reaper> issue sudo passwd root
[02:52] <frogzoo> Jontydog: but why u need root anyhow?
[02:52] <c-reaper> enter your user password
[02:52] <c-reaper> then should ask for new ones for the root a/c
[02:53] <jvk12345> frogzoo: then tell me what it means :) so, I can use it next time
[02:53] <Jontydog> ok thanks
[02:53] <frogzoo> jvk12345: oh noes = plural of 'oh no'
[02:53] <Jontydog> just playing around frogzoo
[02:53] <Jontydog> only been installed a week or so so I am still learning
[02:53] <jvk12345> frogzoo: You typed oh noes twice :D lol. Anyway, simple language wonly
[02:54] <ad> Ng: Synaptic reports no broken packages so what could be going on? Beyond me
[02:54] <frogzoo> Jontydog: well best steer clear of using root for day to day use, root is like running with sharp implements

[02:57] <jvk12345> Geri_: Hmm. But you said it was working for sometime right?
[02:57] <Geri__> no.
[02:57] <jvk12345> Geri_: ... . it worked somehow for 5 minutes, ...
[02:57] <Geri__> i 1 hours tryed it

[03:00] <jvk12345> confused: Any results?
[03:01] <mil000000> thk
[03:01] <confused> jvk12345: nope :( what that guy sujected yestarday didnt work
[03:01] <jvk12345> Hmm... try cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "(EE)" and see...
[03:02] <ad> Ng: I have a 2.6.15-26-386 kernel, there's no problem with having 2 versions of the restricted modules is there? I can run 2.6.15.23 if i want from GRUB. Can I check it's using the right one?
[03:02] <khaled_> what is the install directory of firefox?
[03:02] <frogzoo> Geri__: install 'net-tools' & then see if adding something like ' pre-up /sbin/mii-tool eth0 -F 10baseT-FD' in /etc/network/interfaces helps
[03:03] <sri_> When an interrupt comes in python is it nessasary to type total program once again................?plz tell me
[03:03] <confused> jvk12345: I rememberd to check that file :) all it listed was the same thing from last time.. the wabcom stuff but the other thing was fixed.. but thats just cause that guy told me to replace that load glx in xorg with the libglx file
[03:03] <jrib> khaled_: type 'dpkg -L firefox', what do you want to do?
[03:03] <Geri__> thx i willtry it.
[03:03] <jvk12345> khaled_: Try this too: which firefox | xargs ls -l
[03:03] <Riyonuk> Can I put ubuntu in a usb?
[03:03] <khaled_> i just want to know the path of firefox directory to add a plugin manually
[03:03] <sri_> When an interrupt comes in python is it nessasary to type total program once again................?plz tell me
[03:03] <frogzoo> Geri__: mii-tool is what you need for setting 10/100BT and half or full duplex
[03:04] <jrib> khaled_: use ~/.mozilla/plugins/
[03:04] <aeQu`> sri_,  you can always enter the total program into a text file?
[03:04] <disposable_mike> khaled: ls -al /usr/bin/firefox
[03:04] <frogzoo> Riyonuk: yes, it can be done
[03:04] <stefg> Riyonuk: you'd need a 4 GB stick, because a standard install will take around 2.5 GB
[03:04] <Riyonuk> is it like harder? Or will it function the same as a hardrive?
[03:04] <nox-Hand> rambo3, Yes, I untared the package..
[03:05] <khaled_> I want the directory?
[03:05] <sri_> aeQu`, no no i am typing it in terminal
[03:05] <frogzoo> Riyonuk: do you want to install from usb, or run ubuntu off the usb - 2 different things, but both are doable, with some fiddling
[03:05] <jvk12345> confused: Now, this time, make sure Load "glx" is there in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:06] <Riyonuk> uhh
[03:06] <jrib> khaled_: ~/.mozilla/plugins/ is a directory
[03:06] <Riyonuk> you install from the ubuntu cd dont you?
[03:06] <confused> jvk12345: so when I do that then try again?
[03:06] <stefg> Riyonuk: it can be installed the normal way if the machine can boot from usb. But you'll certainly want to modify the /tmp and /var/temp locations to be in tmpfs, otherwise your (big expensive) stick will die in weeks
[03:07] <Riyonuk> you lost me there
[03:07] <Riyonuk> I should make the tmp be on the hardrive?
[03:07] <jvk12345> confused: See wht is there in your xorg.conf. Maybe a path to some glx module? Don't give path this time, just put Load "glx" and try... It should work.
[03:07] <confused> jvk12345: yeah thats what I meant and what you did :) just wondering if I should reboot when finished doing that <3 alright i'll try
[03:07] <jvk12345> confused: or else, I have no other alternatives, other than reinstalling nvidia-glx and nvidia driver
[03:07] <stefg> 4GB sticks aren't cheap, and linux writes a lot of temporary files... flash memory can only be written a couple of hundred times...
[03:08] <confused> jvk12345: hehe, alright
[03:08] <khaled_> thanx
[03:08] <Riyonuk> alright sounds like a lot more work on my side
[03:08] <Riyonuk> Ill just get another harddrive just for linux
[03:08] <jvk12345> confused: Why reboot? try modprobe glx ?
[03:08] <jvk12345> confused: in your VT
[03:09] <sri_> aeQu`, he can u solve my problem..?
[03:09] <confused> jvk12345: cause I already forget what that is haha
[03:09] <stefg> Riyonuk: all you need for a start is 5 GB hd-space... c'mon you have that
[03:09] <confused> jvk12345: module glx is not found
[03:09] <Riyonuk> yeah but I dont like having all them partitions and stuff
[03:09] <aeQu`> sri_, I can't think of a way to recall the program you just typed in, I'm just suggesting that you enter the program in a text file
[03:09] <fyrestrtr> glx is not a module
[03:10] <aeQu`> sri_, there should be a way, but you should ask this stuff in #python
[03:10] <Riyonuk> rather have 2 harddrives, one for windows the other for ubuntu
[03:10] <fyrestrtr> [Ex0r] : ebay
[03:10] <gore_> I'm having a slight problem installing some packages through synaptec
[03:10] <pabloz> hi all
[03:10] <jvk12345> confused: hmm, it says the same for me lol... no, no, restart :D
[03:10] <nox-Hand> I need help
[03:10] <nox-Hand> Symlink isn't working right
[03:10] <stefg> Riyonuk: partitoned drives are faster than single partion-drives
[03:10] <frogzoo> !helpme
[03:10] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:10] <confused> jvk12345: alright lol
[03:10] <Riyonuk> stefg: what?
[03:10] <fyrestrtr> nox-Hand: give more information, and then wait for a response.
[03:10] <lucio_> the ubuntu server cd... doesn't work very well...?
[03:11] <dyn-afk> stefg that doesn't have to be
[03:11] <aeQu`> lucio_, what is the problem?
[03:11] <stefg> small partitions = fast, big partitions = slow.... ain't hard to understand, huh?
[03:11] <dyn-afk> if you partition it incorrectly it'll be slower ;)
[03:11] <frogzoo> nox-Hand: ln -s destination source
[03:11] <lucio_> aeQu`: installing from the normal ubuntu cd is fine
[03:11] <Riyonuk> so stick with one hardrive?
[03:11] <fyrestrtr> its the other way around frogzoo
[03:11] <dyn-afk> but the speed increase/decrease is so small you can only see it when you use a benchmark
[03:11] <aeQu`> lucio_, yes...
[03:11] <frogzoo> nox-Hand: ln -s destination symlink
[03:12] <dyn-afk> it's not something one will notice with the computers nowadays
[03:12] <dyn-afk> maybe on a server
[03:12] <brotakul> about that, is that a video benchmark for linux/ubuntu?
[03:12] <fyrestrtr> dyn-afk: if you do rendering you will.,
[03:12] <esters> !xgl
[03:12] <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
[03:12] <fyrestrtr> brotakul: glxgears + tuxracer :)
[03:13] <Riyonuk> stefg: stick with one hardrive then?
[03:13] <aeQu`> lucio_, you said the server cd isn't working very well, what is the problem with it?
[03:13] <brotakul> anything else, more...like 3dmark? :P
[03:13] <dyn-afk> fyrestrtr that's for powerusers yes
[03:13] <dyn-afk> most people won't notice it
[03:13] <frogzoo> Riyonuk: a 2nd hard drive can save quite a  bit of hassle
[03:13] <dyn-afk> and the speed increase is not that big anymore
[03:14] <Karlola> hello, is this a suitable place also for completely ubuntu-unrelated problems? :D (need an English native speaker; query me)
[03:14] <Riyonuk> but he said smaller partitions
[03:14] <nox-Hand> frogzoo, fyrestrtr, Okay, I have /usr/src/linux which I need to symlink with /usr/src/linux-sources-2.6.15, but when I do sudo ln -s /usr/src/linux-sources-2.6.15 /usr/src/linux , it does not work properly. When I enter the linux dir and type ls, I get linux-source-2.6.15 as output and that text is green. When I enter that dir, I get the contents of the linux-source-2.6.16 folder, which is the one I need to open when
[03:14] <nox-Hand> opening /usr/src/linux.
[03:14] <aeQu`> Karlola:
[03:14] <aeQu`> !ask
[03:14] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:14] <stefg> Riyonuk: if you have 5-10 GB space on your drive, you can just start to install ubuntu. No real need to get a second drive first. Although by clever partition layout you'd have a speed advantage because two sets of heads can shuffle more data than one set can... applied physics
[03:14] <frogzoo> Karlola: -> #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:15] <aeQu`> aeQu`, ah shut up sometimes
[03:15] <fyrestrtr> nox-Hand: recreate the symlink with ln -sf
[03:15] <gore_> I'm getting a segmentation fault when I try to install libmysqlclient14 , ldconfig specifically is crashing any know what I can do? or care to see the full error message?
[03:15] <frogzoo> nox-Hand: sudo
[03:15] <Riyonuk> but I would be downloading lots of programs on ubuntu
[03:15] <drbree1> stefg: where can i find more literature about that you said with partitions and heads ?
[03:15] <dyn-afk> stefg you mean something like software raid 0 ?
[03:15] <dyn-afk> like using lvm ?
[03:16] <fyrestrtr> stefg: two sets of heads? ermm ... where do you get that kind of information?
[03:16] <frogzoo> nox-Hand: maybe /usr/src/linux exists already?
[03:16] <jvk12345> confused: Now ?
[03:16] <javiolo> hi
[03:16] <stefg> http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-fs3.html
[03:16] <nox-Hand> frogzoo, the dir does?
[03:16] <confused> jvk12345: nope :\
[03:17] <nox-Hand> The dir does, but the symlink seems to be messed.
[03:17] <Bison> hello
[03:17] <nox-Hand> Ah, le crap
[03:17] <stefg> fyrestrtr: it's pretty obvious that 2 hd's need two head assemblies, isn't it?
[03:17] <Bison> how do I restart my dhcp server?
[03:17] <frogzoo> nox-Hand: if /usr/src/linux already exists as a directory, you can't overwrite it as a symlink
[03:17] <jvk12345> confused: oh well ... no idea from me then...
[03:17] <Bison> err...my client
[03:17] <fyrestrtr> stefg: 2 hard drives, yes, but I thought you were talking about partitions :P
[03:17] <jvk12345> Bison: /etc/init.d/networking restart
[03:17] <nox-Hand> frogzoo, got it. There, working ^^
[03:17] <nox-Hand> Cheers
[03:17] <Bison> alright!
[03:17] <Bison> thanks
[03:18] <frogzoo> nox-Hand: tada!
[03:18] <javiolo> bison /etc/init.d/dhcp-server stop
[03:18] <confused> jvk12345: go hurt someone that said linux is easy? :X
[03:18] <dyn-afk> hmm, that IBM article is more about tmpfs
[03:18] <dyn-afk> not much about clever partitioning
[03:18] <nox-Hand> =D
[03:18] <Bison> alright thanks
[03:18] <frogzoo> confused: but same needs 2 b said for doze
[03:18] <fyrestrtr> I'd rather hurt someone that said Windows is secure.
[03:18] <Bison> confused: you don't think that linux is easy?
[03:18] <Karlola> aeQu`: you're blocked from privs? :<
[03:18] <jvk12345> confused: Well, you do learn a lot of things this way.
[03:19] <aeQu`> Karlola, I am blocked from what? :)
[03:19] <confused> frogzoo: well granted when you get a blue screen your screwed but on top of that and viruses and spyware ive never really had issues
[03:19] <Karlola> query windows
[03:19] <Bison> Easier than trying to figure out how to do things through endless gui menus
[03:19] <XplOzIon> Help: How can i configure a ubuntu machine to its defaults settings?... i mean i have remote access to a server that was messed up. and i want it to be like fresh. Using ssh access. help anyone please
[03:19] <Karlola> euh.. tabs xD
[03:19] <aeQu`> uuhm
[03:19] <jvk12345> confused: I am leaving ... Hope you solve your problem!
[03:19] <aeQu`> what do you mean? :)
[03:19] <confused> Bison: for doing what I think should be simple things.. linux isnt easy :X but it's different for everyone
[03:20] <confused> jvk12345: thanks for the help.. have a good one <3
[03:20] <Bison> confused: agreed
[03:20] <javiolo> xpl0zion delete de .ssh folder
[03:20] <jvk12345> confused: No cookie for me :((
[03:20] <Bison> but thats because everything that is meant to be easy is written for windows
[03:20] <confused> lol
[03:20] <confused> yeah
[03:20] <confused> I hate that to ahha
[03:20] <Bison> and linux wasn't written to be easy
[03:20] <confused> vmware shouldnt be the answer either :X
[03:20] <Karlola> aeQu` > it's completely offtopic so I'd prefer talking bout it in a query but you don't seem to have noticed (anti-spam?)
[03:20] <XplOzIon> javiolo: delete .ssh folder?
[03:20] <Bison> and its visible modularity
[03:20] <confused> yes but i'll give people there props for trying <3
[03:20] <frogzoo> confused: i've often had things break in ways the menus & guis can't/won't fix - nought to do but reinstall
[03:21] <dyn-afk> linux wasn't written to be easier
[03:21] <aeQu`> Karlola, oh, sorry misread it then :)
[03:21] <Bison> confused: agreed again.  emulators are evil
[03:21] <confused> frogzoo: ive had to do it twice so far in linux
[03:21] <stefg> Linux is userfriendly! it's just picky about who it's friends are :-)
[03:21] <dyn-afk> :P
[03:21] <javiolo> xplozion you will delete all the ssh config
[03:21] <confused> Bison: tiz true lol.. but im trying something harder :) try opening your chakras ;)
[03:21] <frogzoo> confused: for a sys admin, in many ways, text based configs are easier to manage
[03:21] <Riyonuk> I think I understand this now. Synaptic is like Windows's Add/Remove programs?
[03:22] <drbree1> riyonuk: no it is not
[03:22] <quiet> u'm trying to follow the usplash customization wiki...  and this command: "sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/usplash/usplash-artwork.so usplash-artwork.so "  is not valid...
[03:22] <frogzoo> Riyonuk: aaaagghhhhhh
[03:22] <drbree1> riyonuk: it is better
[03:22] <Bison> stefg: I definately wouldn't consider linux unfriendly...just different from what everyone is used to
[03:22] <confused> frogzoo: yeah it's easier to do your own thing where windows would nag at you like your mother :D ahha
[03:22] <Bison> yes but apt-get is so much easier
[03:22] <dyn-afk> text based configs are manageable, gui configs are not
[03:22] <XplOzIon> javiolo: how that would make a diference? deleteing ssh folder/seetings wont set the ubuntu box to a fresh install. Or it will? :/
[03:22] <stefg> Bison: I#m so glad i'm not /everyone/
[03:22] <dyn-afk> with text you can use version control
[03:22] <Karlola> aeQu` > I'm pasting the stuff back :D
[03:22] <frogzoo> Riyonuk: add/remove programs can'd d/l new apps from the net dude
[03:23] <Bison> dyn-afk: i completely agree...i prefer text configs
[03:23] <Riyonuk> yeah thats the only diffrence
[03:23] <javiolo> xplozion ahhh fresh install...
[03:23] <Bison> GUI configs are more times than not really buggy
[03:23] <lucio_> aeQu`: at the first reboot the system will not find some file or does not recognise the disk partiotions, I don't know...
[03:23] <dyn-afk> with gui configs you have to document them very well and properly, else you won't understand them
[03:23] <Riyonuk> this guide says that almost every program I can get from there?
[03:23] <frogzoo> Riyonuk: apt also manages dependency issues cleanly
[03:23] <dyn-afk> so that means lot's of screenshots
[03:23] <aeQu`> Karlola, I'm a bit confused, I send you a query I think
[03:23] <dyn-afk> and putting it in a document
[03:23] <drbree1> Riyonuk: synaptic and gnome-app-install etc. are frontend to a powerful program named APT that can download and distribute software automagically - windows add/remove software can not install software from the intarweb, for example
[03:23] <lucio_> aeQu`: perhaps the ubuntu server cd install a kernel that does not work well with the adaptec raid controller?
[03:23] <aeQu`> lucio_, sure the cd is burned correctly?
[03:23] <XplOzIon> javiolo, yeah, a way to remove all aplicationgs that doesnt come with ubuntu-base defaults
[03:23] <Bison> Its much more straightforward to document text configs too.
[03:24] <Riyonuk> yeah I understand that now, thanks
[03:24] <Bison> "Add this line"
[03:24] <aeQu`> lucio_, ah, that is out of my reach :)
[03:24] <Bison> as opposed to
[03:24] <dyn-afk> yeps
[03:24] <XplOzIon> javiolo: and all its conf files
[03:24] <Riyonuk> but is every program I will ever need gonna be from there?
[03:24] <stefg> command line is talking to the machine... GUI is trying to make yourself understandable by hands and feet, because you don't know the local language :-D
[03:24] <confused> aeQu`: if you were asking my help sorry I dont know anything about linux :) and there is so much text in here.. eek :X what did ya say?
[03:24] <Karlola> aeQu` > lol so sth must be wrong and I better won't nag trying to work out what... :/
[03:24] <dyn-afk> and you can put lot's of comments inside the config files, so no need to retrieve some piece of documentation to look things up
[03:24] <javiolo> xploxion ill rather install the server version
[03:24] <dyn-afk> it saves lot's of time
[03:24] <javiolo> from the alternate cd
[03:24] <frogzoo> Riyonuk: try 'apt-get search blah' & see if you can find what you need
[03:24] <aeQu`> strange
[03:24] <drbree1> Riyonuk: it is true you can get almost every program you will need. for some (opera, skype) you will have to add repositories (servers with software). but why use opera and skype when you can have firefox, konqueror and ekiga ?
[03:24] <Bison> click here -> there -> somewhere else ->enter mothers maiden name -> do jumping jacks -> click Yes
[03:24] <aeQu`> I didn't see all that
[03:24] <quiet> i'm trying to follow the usplash customization wiki...  and this command from #4: "sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/usplash/usplash-artwork.so usplash-artwork.so "  is not valid... what is missing?
[03:25] <Bison> dyn-afk: and not to mention man pages (the best invention ever)
[03:25] <aeQu`> hellup
[03:25] <XplOzIon> javiolo: i would if i could. its a remote box... just have access with ssh, cant go there and insert CD
[03:25] <fyrestrtr> its apt-cache search, not apt-get search
[03:25] <aeQu`> my xchat is being selective
[03:25] <drbree1> Riyonuk: dont use the console its ev1l! click the search button within synaptic.
[03:25] <Bison> aeQu`: upgrade to irssi :)
[03:25] <Riyonuk> console?
[03:25] <javiolo> xplozion dont really know try on #ubuntu
[03:25] <Riyonuk> like video game console?
[03:25] <Bison> drbree1: whats wrong with the console? its much simpler
[03:25] <XplOzIon> LOL this is #Ubuntu
[03:25] <aeQu`> Bison, hehe, should do that
[03:26] <aeQu`> but I still got this disconnection ppoe problem
[03:26] <Riyonuk> console is terminal?
[03:26] <fyrestrtr> yes
[03:26] <drbree1> Riyonuk: with console i meant terminal
[03:26] <drbree1> Riyonuk: synapotic is much easier for new bees
[03:27] <Riyonuk> ahh but I can use sudo apt-get blah?
[03:27] <Bison> whats hard about apt-get? apt-cache search <> and apt-get install <>
[03:27] <aeQu> now
[03:27] <aeQu`> work
[03:27] <Bison> its pretty straightforward
[03:27] <Riyonuk> synapotic is like a GUI of that?
[03:27] <fyrestrtr> Riyonuk: yes
[03:27] <Riyonuk> I like GUI better :p
[03:27] <drbree1> riyonuk: yeah you can
[03:27] <Bison> Riyonuk: yes
[03:27] <Riyonuk> so ones not better than the other?
[03:27] <frogzoo> Riyonuk: indeed you can - but access to the repos is easier to become familiar with synaptic at first
[03:27] <drbree1> riyonuk: synaptic its called typo
[03:27] <Riyonuk> just a matter of personal preference?
[03:27] <Bison> Riyonuk: its all a matter of opinion
[03:28] <Riyonuk> ok good
[03:28] <Riyonuk> wow Im learning stuff like crazy today
[03:28] <Bison> who says you don't learn something new everyday?
[03:28] <fyrestrtr> Riyonuk: there are lot of things about linux that are a matter of personal preference, since there are so many choices with linux.
[03:28] <drbree1> bison: apt takes mor time when i do not know what i want wo have
[03:28] <Bison> drbree1: you mean you download packages without knowing what they are?
[03:28] <aeQu> can someone tell me why my link still keeps disconnectiong? Somebody suggested to search for dsl-provider config file, but I can't find it. I tried editing ppp conf file, but that doesn't seem to work
[03:28] <aeQu> disconnecting even
[03:28] <frogzoo> drbree1: apt-cache search
[03:28] <drbree1> bison: sure, apt-get install inkscape is easy but what if you just want to browse categories (games, for instance)
[03:29] <drbree1> aeQu: i have the same problem
[03:29] <Riyonuk> ok and where can I learn all the ubuntu/linux commands like sudo? I dont even know what sudo stands for? And does the command line differ from each distro?
[03:29] <Bison> packages.debian.org perhaps?
[03:29] <frogzoo> drbree1: apt-cache search games
[03:29] <frogzoo> drbree1: apt-cache search games | less
[03:29] <Bison> not so familiar with apt yet...easy with pacman
[03:29] <aeQu> drbree1: :(
[03:29] <drbree1> riyonuk: in wikis like ubuntuusers.de (german) ?
[03:30] <fyrestrtr> Riyonuk: there are some programs that are standard with linux -- and there are some programs that are distro specific (like rpm). You can learn alot about linux and its commands at tldp.org
[03:30] <Bison> Riyonuk: su == super user; sudo like pseudo
[03:30] <Bison> get it?
[03:30] <vgoltser> automounter for CD-ROM drive isn't working ...
[03:30] <Bison> fyrestrtr: ah, you stole my words
[03:30] <drbree1> riyonuk: there are several command lines but the most commons are sh an bash - neraly every distro has that as standard
[03:30] <oskude> Bison: i thought su = substitute user
[03:30] <Bison> vgoltser: your not trying to mount music cd are you?
[03:30] <javiolo> where firestarter starts? at boot ?
[03:30] <fyrestrtr> javiolo: yes
[03:30] <vgoltser> yes I am
[03:30] <vgoltser> same for blank CD-R disks
[03:31] <fyrestrtr> su = switch user, sudo = super user do
[03:31] <Bison> oskude: you may be right, but i really think it is super user
[03:31] <frogzoo> javiolo: /etc/rc2.d/firestarter iirc
[03:31] <aeQu> drbree1: you need to do "pon dsl-provider" also to get connection? and it also disconnects randomly?
[03:31] <oskude> Bison: as "su foo" wont change you to user root...
[03:31] <frogzoo> javiolo: /etc/rc2.d/*firestarter iirc
[03:31] <Bison> javiolo: you don't have to mount music cd's or blank cd's
[03:31] <drbree1> bison: no but sometimes i just want to browse for stuff like this and that i download programs only when i know what they do
[03:31] <javiolo> fyrestrtr /etc/init.d/firestarter status doenst says anything
[03:31] <EneNL> I want to do an installation of Ubuntu outside of a graphical environment, like the previous Ubuntu. Am I right that I can do this with the Alternate install CD?
[03:31] <javiolo> bison ??
[03:31] <quiet> anyone who has customized their usplash theme, please give me a hand?
[03:31] <drbree1> qeQu: no when i try to ping for example it connects automagically
[03:31] <fyrestrtr> javiolo: firestarter is a front end to iptables, and iptables are running when your pc boots.
[03:31] <frogzoo> !usplash
[03:31] <ubotu> usplash is the start-up splash (before GNOME/KDE appears) in Ubuntu. To customize it, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/USplashCustomizationHowto
[03:32] <nox-Hand> Anybody use bootsplash?
[03:32] <fyrestrtr> EneNL: yes
[03:32] <drbree1> aeQu: and it disconnectes entirely dandom
[03:32] <vgoltser> Bison, gnomebaker says that there is no media in the CD-ROM drive when I try to burn something to it
[03:32] <oskude> Bison: "su - change user ID or become super-user"
[03:32] <snowblink> EneNL, server version
[03:32] <javiolo> fyrestrtr I know
[03:32] <aeQu> drbree1: strange, same problem here, but for example irc keeps working while firefox has connection problems
[03:32] <Bison> vgoltser: i don't know then...can you mount data cd's?
[03:32] <javiolo> but it has a daemon no ?
[03:32] <Riyonuk> super user...thats soo cool sounding
[03:32] <quiet> frogzoo, i'm following the wiki... but one of the commands is broken... that's why i need help.
[03:32] <fyrestrtr> aeQu: disable ipv6 dns looksup in firefox.
[03:32] <EneNL> fyrestrtr, snowblink: I want to instal it on a laptop (Presario 700), which should I choose? Server or alternate?
[03:33] <Bison> okay, i'm wikipedia-ing it
[03:33] <Alpha232> argh netflaps suck
[03:33] <donbono> does anyone know why can my printer output the messege "spooling LPR job" for a very long time each time I try to print something with images
[03:33] <fyrestrtr> EneNL: alternate
[03:33] <donbono> ALpha ur back!
[03:33] <EneNL> Okay, thanks.
[03:33] <drbree1> riyonuk: i suppose it is not su == superuser but SET USER
[03:33] <donbono> got any more clues?
[03:33] <fyrestrtr> donbono: probably your printer's internal memory cannot handle the print job.
[03:33] <drbree1> riyonuk: cause you can also do "su name" and become that user
[03:33] <Alpha232> donbono: kinda, i lost my routing...
[03:33] <donbono> everything is well handeled under windows
[03:33] <Alpha232> and its hygine time... need a shower...
[03:33] <SuperMiguel> dondono
[03:34] <SuperMiguel> can you repear your problem
[03:34] <SuperMiguel> repeat*
[03:34] <javiolo> what /etc/rc2.d/firestarter iirc does ?
[03:34] <aeQu> fyrestrtr: can I do that through preferences?
[03:34] <donbono> My problem is my printer takes a very long time Spooling.. when I send a job
[03:34] <Bison> well one website said superuser...but it didn't exactly look credible
[03:34] <fyrestrtr> aeQu: do what?
[03:34] <donbono> so It can take half an hour to print a pdf file of 20 pages
[03:34] <vgoltser> ok, I can mount a data CD, but it doesn't get automatically mounted
[03:34] <aeQu> fyrestrtr: disabling ipv6 dns lookup
[03:35] <donbono> but under windows.. it runs very fast
[03:35] <Bison> vgoltser: do you have to have automounting?
[03:35] <donbono> it's a network printer.. with a print server
[03:35] <vgoltser> Bison, I would like it
[03:35] <frogzoo> are there any other packages/repos with usplash images, other than gnome-splashimages - for lazy people?
[03:35] <Bison> vgoltser: i see...and i would like to disable mine
[03:35] <fyrestrtr> aeQu: about:config, and find ipv6 lookup or something like that, and disable it.
[03:35] <javiolo> frogzoo gnome-look.org
[03:35] <Bison> we should switch installations
[03:35] <zsh> hi.i'm trying to install nvidia drivers yet the installer says linux-headers are not present yet they are. what could be the problem?
[03:35] <vgoltser> Bison, I need to burn an ISO image to a blank CD and gnome baker (along with Nautilus cd writer and k3b) says that there is no disk in the drive
[03:35] <frogzoo> javiolo: cool, thx
[03:35] <Badm4n> http://qtnode.net/pastebin/917 <---- HElp
[03:35] <aeQu> fyrestrtr: ah, ok thanks
[03:35] <SuperMiguel> do you have installed locally?
[03:35] <helfrez> aeQu: netwrh.dns.disable.ipv6
[03:35] <vgoltser> zsh, you upgraded the kernel but not the headers?
[03:35] <SuperMiguel> usb?
[03:36] <Bison> vgoltser: did you try running those as root?
[03:36] <vgoltser> hmm, I will now
[03:36] <donbono> no.. it's a network printer.. it has a print server attached..
[03:36] <aeQu> helfrez: jup, just found it^
[03:36] <Bison> vgoltser: have you ever had it working?
[03:36] <zsh> vgoltser, yes,i upgraded the kernel i dunno about the headers
[03:36] <Badm4n> http://qtnode.net/pastebin/917 <---- about dapper fault
[03:36] <frogzoo> donbono: does it actually print though?
[03:36] <aeQu> let's hope that fixed it
[03:36] <helfrez> Badm4n: dist-upgrade
[03:36] <fyrestrtr> aeQu: close all firefox windows and restart it.
[03:37] <aeQu> yup, did that
[03:37] <donbono> yes.. it prints.. but takes very long.. the crazy thing is that under windows machines it responds fast.. but now we are migrating to ubuntu.. and it has got so slow
[03:37] <aeQu> hope it stays working I mean :)
[03:37] <helfrez> Badm4n: issue a dist-upgrade to upgrade held back packages
[03:37] <Badm4n> no no
[03:37] <Badm4n> i dont want to upgrade
[03:37] <fyrestrtr> donbono: try changing the driver for it.
[03:37] <Bison> Badm4n: why not?
[03:37] <zsh> vgoltser, should i try installing on the older kernel
[03:38] <donbono> when I send a job.. i can see a message at the printer properties.. spooling LPR job xx% .. but takes too long
[03:38] <vgoltser> zsh,no
[03:38] <Bison> zsh: perhaps...that has been a problem with past newer kernels
[03:38] <vgoltser> bison, nope, cdrecord still says that there is no disk
[03:38] <SuperMiguel> WHAT KIND OF PRINTER IS THAT
[03:38] <vgoltser> or that it's a wrong disk
[03:38] <donbono> I've tried all drivers available.. the latest version of hplip as well
[03:38] <Badm4n> not " onthe fly " yet
[03:38] <vgoltser> but the disk is fine
[03:38] <Badm4n> http://qtnode.net/pastebin/917 <---- read my mistake here pls
[03:38] <donbono> it's and HP colorlaserjet 2500
[03:38] <zsh> Bison, wouldnt that mean i'd have to run the older kernel all the time
[03:38] <vgoltser> suid root cdrecord?
[03:38] <Bison> k3b is giving you that?
[03:38] <vgoltser> bison, all of them
[03:38] <oskude> donbono: just a quess, maybe theres a setting somewhere that defines the transport speed...
[03:39] <Bison> zsh: no, just until nvidia updates theirs
[03:39] <SuperMiguel> did you activete the unix print in windows?
[03:39] <donbono> no..
[03:39] <Bison> vgoltser: you are using nvidia non-free drivers right?
[03:39] <vgoltser> zsh is, I am using ati
[03:39] <khaled_> I don't want my windows partition to appear on my desktop, anyone has a clue, thx
[03:39] <Bison> whoops
[03:39] <SuperMiguel> go
[03:39] <vgoltser> and I am the one with the mounter problem
[03:39] <Bison> i meant zsh
[03:39] <donbono> what that has to do?.. it's a network printer and it's self controlled
[03:39] <Se7h> i have a little problem here with fsch
[03:39] <donbono> it's not directly plugged to any computer
[03:39] <vgoltser> donbono, what's the problem?
[03:40] <fyrestrtr> khaled_: remove the automount entry for it in /etc/fstab
[03:40] <helfrez> Badm4n: i think we need some clarification on what exactly you are tryin to do?
[03:40] <SuperMiguel> start > panel control > add/remove programs>windows program
[03:40] <CarinArr> donbono you're struggling to set it up?
[03:40] <zsh> Bison, i think i'll try that then
[03:40] <Bison> SuperMiguel: wrong OS! ;)
[03:40] <Badm4n> i put source.list with dapper
[03:40] <Badm4n> ( copy paste from my note )
[03:40] <Badm4n> but when i type
[03:40] <Badm4n> apt-get update
[03:40] <khaled_> but i want to move it from desktop only but still can access it from ubuntu, is this possible?
[03:40] <Badm4n> i realize it's dapper
[03:40] <SuperMiguel> wrong os?
[03:40] <Badm4n> not breezy
[03:40] <Bison> zsh: make sure to check the docs for the proprietary drivers to see if they tell you which kernel to use
[03:40] <Badm4n> so ...
[03:40] <Badm4n> i press ctrl +c
[03:41] <Badm4n> cancel it
[03:41] <Badm4n> then i change dapper to breezy
[03:41] <donbono>  vgoltser I have a network hp colorlaserjet 2500 printer.. and a print server attached to it.. it prints fast under windows machines but under the ubuntu machines in the network it takes a lot of time spooling..
[03:41] <Badm4n> when i type apt-get upgrade
[03:41] <fyrestrtr> khaled_: yes.
[03:41] <zsh> Bison, ok
[03:41] <Badm4n> u can see at paste http://qtnode.net/pastebin/917
[03:41] <helfrez> u need to do a apt-get update first
[03:41] <CarinArr> donbono, which driver do you use?
[03:41] <helfrez> anytime u change sources
[03:41] <Bison> isn't ubuntu a rolling distribution?
[03:41] <vgoltser> how do I suid a file/program again?
[03:41] <Bison> (i really don't know...i'm kinda new)
[03:41] <donbono> hplip... i've tried new and old version. and also postscript version
[03:41] <fyrestrtr> donbono: a print server? You mean it has a network card, or a proper machine acting as a server?
[03:42] <donbono> all have the same roblem
[03:42] <donbono> problem
[03:42] <helfrez> if u didnt install any packages it ditn install anything and those may be held back for some other reason
[03:42] <Bison> vgoltser: what do you mean by suid
[03:42] <vgoltser> so that cdrecord runs as root all the time
[03:42] <helfrez> use aptitude or synaptic to check details/depends
[03:42] <CarinArr> donbono, i have a hp 4250 and a 4600 set up to print over the network and i don't see the spooling
[03:42] <CarinArr> at all
[03:42] <ben__> Hi, can anyone tell me how to make my home folder inaccessible to other users?
[03:42] <donbono> it's a independent print server.. like a network card yes.. has an mac adress... it's not conected to any machine
[03:42] <CarinArr> just goes straight off
[03:42] <oskude> donbono: we got a hp color laserjet 3500 here at work and its working ok
[03:42] <Bison> vgoltser: oh i really don't know that
[03:42] <SuperMiguel> i have a hp psc 1210 and i see the spooling but it dont print xD
[03:43] <Badm4n> read at  http://qtnode.net/pastebin/917 pls
[03:43] <Bergcube> ben__~  It should be by default.
[03:43] <donbono> oskude.. mine is taking very long.. for example I need to print a 100 pages pdf file.. it takes hours..
[03:43] <CarinArr> donbono, what sort of queue is it? smb, lpd?
[03:43] <fyrestrtr> donbono: how did you configure it?
[03:43] <Bison> Badm4n: is not ubuntu a rolling distribution?  If so wouldn't you have to use dapper?
[03:43] <donbono> I configured it as a lpd device under cups
[03:43] <oskude> donbono: hmm, i have only printed one page until now :/
[03:44] <Badm4n> i dont want to use dapper for now
[03:44] <Badm4n> my question are
[03:44] <CarinArr> both of our printers are using a lpd queue.. work fine even with massive documents
[03:44] <donbono> just typed the adress of the print server.. and actually prints... but it's too slow
[03:44] <ben__> Bergcube: well i just created an account for my mother, and logged into it to set it up for her, and realised that all my files are accessible to her
[03:44] <fyrestrtr> donbono: try configuring it with hp direct jet
[03:44] <Badm4n> how to fix the upgrade file that cannot be upgraded
[03:44] <Bison> Badm4n: why not? its the same thing...the only difference is the installer
[03:44] <donbono> there is no hp jetdirect..
[03:44] <fyrestrtr> Badm4n: upgrade the distro
[03:44] <SeraVitae> hi there, could someone help me bind a key on my keyboard (just F11, nothing tricky) to a certain command in gnome? im following the ubuntu guide but im way confused.
[03:44] <fyrestrtr> donbono: there is on mine.
[03:44] <CarinArr> fyrestrtr, you can't necessarily do that if you want it to print via a queue on a server
[03:44] <donbono> it's and Longshine print server
[03:45] <ben__> can anyone tell me how to make my home folder inaccessible to other users?
[03:45] <XplOzIon> Help: How can i configure a ubuntu machine to its defaults settings?... i mean i have remote access to a server that was messed up. and i want it to be like fresh. Using ssh access. help anyone please. the server somehow is corrupted .php site wont load instead it popups to download
[03:45] <Bison> ben__: man chmod
[03:45] <donbono> we don't use the jetdirect.. we use the longshine print server.. and work well through windows machines
[03:45] <fyrestrtr> ben__: it already is that way.
[03:45] <Se7h> i have a little problem here with fsch. No matter the answer i give it, it wont correct the partition problems
[03:45] <frogzoo> ben__: chmod 700 /home/username
[03:45] <Bison> chmod og-r <file>
[03:45] <donbono> problem is when printing from a ubuntu machne
[03:46] <Bergcube> ben__~  Not good.  I've set up several multi-user machines, but not run into that problem.  Did you give her the Administrator privilegde?  (you probably shouldn't.)
[03:46] <fyrestrtr> XplOzIon: fix your apache setup, you don't need to go to a 'fresh' install.
[03:46] <CarinArr> donbono where is it taking time, on the linux machine before it actually goes into the queue?
[03:46] <Bison> that'll take read access from group and others
[03:46] <CarinArr> or in the queue when it's transferred onto the printer
[03:46] <Bison> by default, they do have read
[03:46] <fyrestrtr> donbono: I sure wish you would stop harping on and on about how good it works on the windows machine. It really doesn't make one bit of a difference, and its frankly annoying.
[03:47] <Bergcube> ben__~  ...and as frogzoo says, chmod is the command to fix it.
[03:47] <donbono> no.. we have now 4 machines with ubuntu and all have the same problem.. after it send the job to cups.. it takes a very long time spooling over there
[03:47] <CarinArr> fyrestrtr, yes, it does make a difference, if they both connect ot the same printer server it is relevant
[03:47] <chop41> can anyone recomend me some documents for building an intranet network for my school using Eubuntu?
[03:47] <snedar> hi! can I solve ALSA/OSS sound mixing problems by buying a card that supports hw mixing? I've got an nvidia nforce 2 or 3 now, but that only supports software mixing
[03:47] <Bison> alright its time to get work done.
[03:47] <Bison> bye everyone
[03:47] <ben__> Bergcube: not that I know of, i just added the account in the users thing, and unticked most of the privaledges as i dont want her messing with my pute :) and yeah, I've done he chmod command
[03:47] <oskude> donbono: does that happen with pdfs only, or does like, printing from openoffice take so long too ?
[03:47] <Bison> snedar: check out dmix
[03:48] <fyrestrtr> CarinArr: he said that he is converting to ubuntu and that on windows it worked fine. Hence now, we have to figure out why its not working with ubuntu. Besides, there is no need to end each line with 'but it works fine from windows'.
[03:48] <Bison> ben__: what chmod command did you do?
[03:48] <donbono> ok fyrestrtr .. I'm just trying to move all the machines in my company to Ubuntu.. but coz of this problems.. everyone is complaining.. I'm just trying to get it work as well as before..
[03:48] <snedar> Bison: do you need to use aoss for that? (that is what doesn't work well, alsa-only mixing works)
[03:48] <ben__> Bison: chmod 700 /home/ben
[03:48] <donbono> this problem is slowing down our worker's job a lot
[03:48] <fyrestrtr> CarinArr: see what I mean? :)
[03:48] <Bergcube> ben__~  Then I'll hand you over to the rest of the channel.  I've no good suggestions.
[03:48] <kentaur> I get the message INIT: cannot execute "/sbin/mingetty" if I try to boot.  Tried to run knoppix from CD but it fails and throws up a kernel panick. That's why I have been memtesting for the last 2-3 hours. But so far no errors have been detected... Should I yank out the ram chips and try a reboot?
[03:48] <GIGANTOR> does anyone have any pull in #ubuntu-offtopic?  I was banned for saying "f**k"  (with only one asterisk the time before), and i was not warned...
[03:48] <Bison> snedar: no, dmix is an alsa soft-mixer
[03:48] <donbono> we didn't expect this with the migration
[03:49] <oskude> ...
[03:49] <snedar> Bison: ok, thanks, I'll look at dmix
[03:49] <CarinArr> fyrestrtr, i see what you mean to a certain extent, but i see what he means too.. if you're printing to a queue on a printer server, the reason it's really slow from ubuntu would logically be the way it is handled by cups,not by the printer or the server
[03:49] <Bergcube> GIGANTOR~  Don't do that then.  ;-)
[03:49] <Bison> ben__: what does ls -l | grep /home/youruser look like?
[03:49] <frogzoo> GIGANTOR: that's a bit rough - hope you get the ban lifted
[03:49] <Bison> what
[03:50] <Bison> oh he's left
[03:50] <Bison> that was the wrong command anyways
[03:50] <Bison> later
[03:50] <fyrestrtr> I honestly think, he is using the wrong print interface, his printer is listed with three tux at linuxprinting.
[03:50] <aeQu> is there a way to remove the join leave quit messages in irssi?
[03:50] <CarinArr> if it's an lpd queue it's not the wrong interface..
[03:51] <frogzoo> kentaur: the real question is, how did mingetty get into /etc/inittab? did you install mingetty?
[03:51] <fyrestrtr> aeQu: /ignore #ubuntu JOIN PARTS QUITS
[03:51] <GIGANTOR> well, if any of you are ninja ops, pleeeease help me out, i have friends in there
[03:51] <aeQu> thanks
[03:51] <oskude> donbono: just a quess, if its a a4 printer, change letter (whats default) to a4... laters, ill be going home
[03:51] <aeQu> aah
[03:51] <XplOzIon> fyrestrtr i have tried apt-get remove -- purge apache2 php5 and all the libraris, and then reinstalling all, still wont work. what line in apache conf i need to fix or where :/
[03:51] <aeQu> peace
[03:51] <fyrestrtr> donbono: is it a 2500 or a 2500N ?
[03:51] <pdkl> how do you view someone others ssh session ?
[03:51] <donbono> 2500N
[03:51] <fyrestrtr> XplOzIon: read /etc/apache2/README
[03:51] <donbono> it's already set to A4
[03:51] <pdkl> 2 users log in, you want to view the other's screen
[03:52] <gr33npho3nix> pdkl: look at screen
[03:52] <fyrestrtr> donbono: then is there a reason you aren't using the hp jetdirect driver?
[03:52] <Myrth> which command do i use from livecd to resize ext3? doesn't have ext2resize
[03:52] <gr33npho3nix> pdkl: you need to make screen suid as root and then set it to multiuser and add the used
[03:52] <fyrestrtr> Myrth: gparted
[03:52] <Myrth> fyrestrtr: thanks
[03:53] <CarinArr> donbono, did you say whether or not it seems slower when printing certain types of documents? are ps/pdf documents faster than stuff from openoffice etc?
[03:53] <opp_us> hello
[03:53] <andy-> Windows Media Player Download
[03:53] <andy-> Your operating system is not currently supported by Windows Media Player.
[03:53] <CarinArr> someone else asked but i didn't see your answer
[03:53] <andy-> lol..
[03:53] <donbono> yes.. we have 2 independent networks... one for internet and one for accounts... so we use the jetdirect in accounts network.. and the longshine print server on the internet network.. that's why
[03:53] <opp_us> how can i repair(change) menu.lst if i can't access Ubuntu(because it's broken)?
[03:53] <opp_us> but i can use Live cd or/and WindowsXP
[03:54] <opp_us> the Ubuntu is not broken, just the menu.lst
[03:54] <Bergcube> opp_us~  http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[03:54] <donbono> carinarr ... everything is slow.. when has pictures... just text files print fast.. the rest spools for long
[03:54] <CarinArr> hmm
[03:54] <fyrestrtr> opp_us: use the livecd, then open up /boot/grub/menu.lst
[03:54] <fyrestrtr> donbono: jetdirect works fine?
[03:54] <frogzoo> opp_us: do you get a grub prompt at all?
[03:54] <fallingdutch> how do I enable mod_per for apache2?
[03:54] <Bergcube> opp_us~  My bad!  Ignore the link, I misread your post.
[03:54] <fallingdutch> mod_perl
[03:55] <opp_us> froogzoo, i think so
[03:55] <fyrestrtr> fallingdutch: read /etc/apache2/README
[03:55] <opp_us> but i am not sure, because it doesn't show up
[03:55] <donbono> yes..  its ok in the accounts network.. but those machines are under windows.. coz the accounting app is for windows
[03:55] <Bergcube> away I see stupid people.
[03:55] <frogzoo> opp_us: then by entering the right grub commands, you can boot ubuntu
[03:55] <opp_us> but it wait for 10 seconds or so, so i think there is a Grub
[03:55] <opp_us> ctrl-c to access grub menu?
[03:56] <tristanmike> fyrestrtr: hi, sorry to bother you, did you get those eps's opened up ?
[03:56] <frogzoo> opp_us: hit 'esc' to see the grub menu, then press 'c' to get a command line
[03:56] <fallingdutch> fyrestrtr, i have a link from enable to availeable, perl is installed but when i enter "apache -l" its not in the list
[03:56] <opp_us> aha, ok, i will try that
[03:56] <fyrestrtr> tristanmike: oh ... ermm ... I forgot lol
[03:56] <tristanmike> fyrestrtr: lol
[03:57] <CarinArr> donbono, i'm not really familiar with setting up printer servers, but i know for a fact that our linux machines print to a slighlty differently configured queue than the windows machines. I'm not sure what the reason for it is tho
[03:57] <donbono> is there a nice forum I can live this topic opened?.. I've been trying to get a solution for more than 2 weeks..
[03:57] <CarinArr> they're both transferred into the same queue before going to the printer
[03:57] <CarinArr> donbono, have you tried www.ubuntuforums.org
[03:57] <CStringa> does amd64-generic kernel supports smp (amd x2)?
[03:57] <fyrestrtr> donbono: have you tried linuxprinting.org ?
[03:57] <frogzoo> donbono: post on the web forums
[03:57] <Myrth> fyrestrtr: gparted shows partitions... not fs
[03:58] <fyrestrtr> Myrth: you can convert from there too.
[03:58] <donbono> I'll try those forums.. thanks for help.. hope someone can give me a clue over there
[03:58] <fyrestrtr> donbono: linuxprinting folk are good with it.
[03:58] <Myrth> fyrestrtr: how? it shows /dev/Ubuntu/root as 200GB, and df shows it as 30GB
[03:58] <InnerFIRE> whats up with frostwire only giving 7 host for downloads
[03:58] <fyrestrtr> donbono: but expect some ... "resistance"  ... if you tell them you are using ubuntu.
[03:59] <donbono> ok
[03:59] <frogzoo> InnerFIRE: so it's not a popular file...
[03:59] <fyrestrtr> InnerFIRE: find more likeable porn
[03:59] <InnerFIRE> actually, it says there are 52 host
[03:59] <InnerFIRE> im only getting 6
[04:00] <opp_us> hmm, i can't seem to access it
[04:00] <fyrestrtr> okay time for me to go home :)
[04:00] <opp_us> when i press Esc it just stops
[04:00] <frogzoo> opp_us: do you get a command line? try 'find /boot/grub/menu.lst'
[04:00] <opp_us> frogzoo, nope
[04:01] <opp_us> ok, i will try one more time
[04:01] <eolo> hi guy
[04:02] <confused> can someone help.. im having issues with the cdrom :(
[04:03] <khaled_> I don't want my windows partition to appear on my desktop, anyone has a clue, thx
[04:03] <eolo> hi ubus, my laptop unexpectedly shutdown after some time it is inactive due to overheating. It never happens while hardly working !!!! Some ideas?
[04:04] <rustytech> hey room
[04:04] <eolo> khaled, modify /etc/fstab and remove winz partition line
[04:04] <eolo> ok only on desktop (oops!)
[04:04] <khaled_> eolo: should i remove the whole line or just modify something in it??
[04:05] <opp_us> i can't seem to access nor the grub menu nor the command line
[04:05] <rustytech> I installed ubuntu on a compaq presario v2000 with a video card from intel (855) .. anyone knows how to install the driver so that the windows wont be choppy? :D thx
[04:05] <aeQu> !java
[04:05] <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
[04:05] <khaled_> eolo: here is the line, dev/hda7       /media/hda7     ntfs    defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0       1
[04:05] <eolo> sorry i was wrong...the way i told you will not have win partition mounted at all
[04:05] <opp_us> when i press Esc or/and c the thing just stops there
[04:05] <aeQu> !thanks
[04:05] <ubotu> I know nothing about thanks - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[04:05] <IcemanV9> eolo: fwiw, gnome-screensaver or xscreensaver might be working very hard
[04:05] <opp_us> can i repair menu.lst with the Live CD?
[04:05] <krang> Anyone know what package I need to install to get rid of this error message from make? : make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.15-26-386/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.
[04:06] <rambo3> opp_us, yes
[04:06] <khaled_> eolo: i think what i should do is just to diable the automount, but i don't know how to do it?
[04:06] <eolo> thanks iceman, i have to renounce to sreensaver or i can tweak something?
[04:06] <rustytech> who knows how to install an intel video card for my laptop :)
[04:06] <opp_us> rambo, please tell me how to mount my partition with mount
[04:07] <eolo> khaled, you want win partition mounted or not ?
[04:07] <stefg> !mount
[04:07] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted  -  Formatting partitions: see the manual page for mkfs ("man mkfs")  -  Mounting partitions in Gnome: System -> Administration -> Disks
[04:07] <aeQu> !multiverse
[04:07] <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
[04:07] <rambo3> opp_us,  sudo mkdir /mnt/temp && sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/temp && sudo chrot /mnt/temp
[04:07] <rambo3> oo
[04:07] <khaled_> i want it not to appear in the desktop on the startup but still can access it when i want, is this possible?
[04:07] <rambo3> chroot
[04:08] <opp_us> rambo thanks
[04:08] <eolo> and mounting when needed it's not a good solution?
[04:08] <aeQu> hm, ubotu told me I need to install that sun-java package, but while multiverse seems enabled, he can't find it?
[04:08] <opp_us> but what if the Ubuntu is using hd0 , second partition
[04:08] <opp_us> then it's hd0,0 ??
[04:08] <eolo> mounting it is easy enough..
[04:08] <GIGANTOR> hey, is there an #ubuntu-offtopic-over18
[04:08] <opp_us> sudo mount /dev/hd0,0 /mnt/temp
[04:08] <rambo3> opp_us, that /dev/hda1
[04:09] <aeQu> nvm
[04:09] <Paddy_EIRE> can anyone suggest a irc server & channel that is good for newbies to web design using ubuntu
[04:09] <opp_us> sorry, i mismatched sudo mount /dev/hd0,1 /mnt/temp
[04:09] <rambo3> hd0,0 is grub way /deb/hda[1-X]  is linux
[04:09] <opp_us> aha, ok
[04:09] <aeQu> Paddy_EIRE: gedit ^_^
[04:09] <opp_us> so if i have the Ubuntu on hd0,1 ?
[04:09] <gr33npho3nix> Paddy_EIRE: quanta and screem are two nice progams but i don't web design much
[04:10] <opp_us> in Grub menu.lst
[04:10] <rambo3> hda2
[04:10] <opp_us> aha, ok
[04:10] <opp_us> thanks
[04:10] <opp_us> i will try that
[04:10] <krang> Anyone know what package I need to install to get rid of this error message from make? : make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.15-26-386/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.

[04:11] <opp_us> one more question, how can i get this partition tables anyway?
[04:11] <opp_us> with fdisk?
[04:11] <Riyonuk> Im intrested in knowing how to webdesign on ubuntu
[04:11] <disposable_mike> krang: have you installed build-essential?

[04:12] <opp_us> thanks
[04:13] <GIGANTOR> please guys, how do i get unbanned from #ubuntu-offtopic?
[04:13] <opp_us> i knew, it was something like that, because i was already using it

[04:19] <GIGANTOR> does silenceisdefeat.org have a #ubuntu channel?
[04:20] <axisys_> no i ssh to that host and run irssi from there
[04:20] <GIGANTOR> oh, well then i guess i can't help then  ;P
[04:20] <peanut366> uhh, does anyone know how i can have my speakers and mic run at the same time? (my mic has a headphone too)
[04:20] <axisys_> GIGANTOR: it says iqbala@silencisdefeat is banned
[04:21] <axisys_> GIGANTOR: it is banned only for ubuntu chnl
[04:21] <axisys_> GIGANTOR: i can login to other chanls just fine
[04:21] <frogzoo> peanut366: of course
[04:21] <beazely> if i a was a bannee, i would probably post a query about getting unbanned on the ubuntuforums site
[04:22] <GIGANTOR> dunno axisys...  sounds like you got got
[04:22] <axisys_> GIGANTOR: this is the mesg I get Cannot join to channel #ubuntu (You are banned)

[04:22] <Seveas> axisys_, ?
[04:22] <peanut366> i can't whisper =X
[04:22] <peanut366> lol
[04:22] <aeQu> boehoe
[04:22] <frogzoo> beazely: nope, those with ops status follow the chans, they're deliberately not responding... :(
[04:22] <Amaranth> hrm, my scripts are broken
[04:23] <Seveas> err wtf
[04:23] <beazely> right
[04:23] <axisys_> Seveas: thanx god.. finally an ops responding.. can u please unban iqbala@silenceisdefeat.org
[04:23] <dyn-afk> anyone know of a good desktop recording software alternative to "Istanbul"?
[04:24] <Seveas> axisys_, no
[04:24] <axisys_> Seveas: can I ask why?
[04:24] <Seveas> silenceisdefeat.org produces far too much abuse -- the domain will stay banned
[04:24] <GIGANTOR> Seveas...   lol
[04:24] <Seveas> similar situation as for tor
[04:24] <axisys_> can u just unban my account .. and still unban the whole domain.. is that possible?
[04:25] <j-a-meinel> Greetings all. I was wondering if anyone is using vmplayer with an updated Dapper install. Dapper updated my kernel, but there isn't a corresponding update to the vmmon kernel module.
[04:25] <Seveas> it is, but we don't do that anymore. nor for tor, neither for other problematic domains
[04:25] <axisys_> i can still login to other chnls.. like #gcc, #opensolaris
[04:25] <GIGANTOR> Seveas-  can you please unban me from #ubuntu-offtopic please?  I masked a bad word, but they still banned me for that.  I'll try not to do even that again
[04:25] <ompaul> axisys_, we get too much grief from it - not worth any work
[04:25] <d1ckynux> hi all i'm from Indonesia
[04:25] <mcphail> Freenode seem quite supportive of tor
[04:26] <dmsantam> d1ckynux, hi there in indonesia
[04:26] <axisys_> hmm.. login to irc from work.. that I am doing now.. is not really a good idea.. since corporate dont like it
[04:26] <axisys_> ompaul: so I am screwed
[04:26] <mcphail> axisys_: ssh to your home box
[04:26] <ompaul> axisys_, no you just need to use a different location coming here
[04:26] <Seveas> GIGANTOR, the person who banned you should do that
[04:27] <GIGANTOR> i don't even know who it was
[04:27] <Seveas> mcphail, freenode is -- we are not
[04:27] <Seveas> GIGANTOR, DBO
[04:27] <axisys_> ompaul: hmm.. that is what i am currently doing.. but work does not like it
[04:27] <GIGANTOR> it didn't give me any kind of "hey, this is what i warned you for"
[04:27] <Paddy_EIRE> hey guys I burned the contents of /var/cache/apt/archives/ to dvd and want to know if i take this to my friends machine how i would go about installing them all at once
[04:27] <GIGANTOR> DBO?  is that the name of the person?
[04:27] <d1ckynux> do anyone can help Indonesia Linux Conference to be key note speaker from ubuntu?
[04:28] <axisys_> mcphail: i wanted to access from a system that is very reliable.. i have no inbound access to home computer
[04:28] <aeQu> hellup, I installed frostwire, and the sun-java5-jre package, but it still tells me to upgrade to a new version of jre(jre 1.4.X)
[04:28] <Seveas> GIGANTOR, yes
[04:29] <aeQu> hmz
[04:29] <axisys_> axisys_: hmm i am getting punished for someone elses fault.. does not sound kosher
[04:30] <GIGANTOR> Thanks Seveas, i have messaged him
[04:30] <axisys_> ompaul, Seveas :  hmm i am getting punished for someone elses fault.. does not sound kosher
[04:30] <Seveas> axisys_, such is life
[04:30] <axisys_> Seveas: i could not expect such a rule atleast from ubuntu community
[04:31] <axisys_> or i did not rather
[04:31] <J_P> people, I'm using sources.list from : http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ ....   but are vey slow, For you are slow too ?
[04:31] <J_P> sometimes connection is lost
[04:31] <axisys_> Seveas: u sound like the government. :-)
[04:31] <J_P> but  not my connect, connection to repos..
[04:31] <mcphail> axisys_: there has been a lot of abuse on this channel in the past. I suppose it is a price everyone has to pay for a good service.
[04:31] <Jack_Sparrow> axisys_: what rule?
[04:31] <beazely> J_P: try a local repo
[04:32] <Azzco> I've got a question... I'm playing a game via wine and I'm wondering.. is it possible to create a shortcut for the command on the desktop, like an icon or something that executes the command?
[04:32] <axisys_> Jack_Sparrow: being punished for someone elses rule.. i was hoping to be in whitelist
[04:32] <aeQu> Iacture paucorum Serva multos
[04:32] <frogzoo> Azzco: yes indeed - eg wine "D:\World of Warcraft\WoW.exe"
[04:32] <axisys_> Jack_Sparrow: i do not remeber abusing any chnl.. since I am learning so much from this chnl
[04:32] <helfrez> Azzco: ye just create a standard launcher
[04:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Azzco: launcher
[04:33] <mcphail> axisys_: if you can't set up an ssh server at home, why not have a look at a cheap/virtual host and use that fot access
[04:33] <helfrez> Azzco: whats forg said he beat me to it lol
[04:33] <axisys_> mcphail: that is exactly what i did
[04:33] <Azzco> ...I'm a total n00b, how do I create a launcher?
[04:33] <dmsantam> Azzco, right click desktop
[04:33] <axisys_> mcphail: silenceisdefeat is a cheap hosting with ssh access
[04:33] <helfrez> right-click desktop
[04:33] <beazely> unless there banned from #ubuntu-offtopic that is ;)
[04:33] <Paddy_EIRE> hi guys I burned the contents of /var/cache/apt/archives/ to dvd and want to know if i take this to my friends machine how i would go about installing them all at once
[04:33] <d1ckynux> do anyone else wan't to talk with Indonesia people?
[04:34] <axisys_> ok i will continue on ubuntu-offtopic chnl
[04:34] <helfrez> Azzco: link to application in KDE, launcher in GNOME
[04:34] <frogzoo> Paddy_EIRE: dpkg -i
[04:34] <Azzco> dmsantam: yeah I see where I create the starter but where do I enter the command line?
[04:34] <mcphail> axisys_: ok, then try another!
[04:34] <rustytech> hi! i downloaded a tar.gz file... when i extract it.. all it contains is a folder.. how do i install it?
[04:34] <aeQu> hellup, I installed frostwire, and the sun-java5-jre package, but it still tells me to upgrade to a new version of jre(jre 1.4.X)
[04:34] <dmsantam> Azzco, under "Command: "
[04:34] <helfrez> Azzco: in the command field
[04:34] <Azzco> oh wait...stupid of me^^ I had it right infront of my nose =p
[04:35] <helfrez> Azzco: thats usually the best place to hide stuff from people
[04:35] <Azzco> sorry to disturb you guys with such silly questions
 i didnt do anything fancy when burning i just copied and pasted then burned to dvd i didnt zip or compress in any way
[04:35] <axisys_> mcphail: do u know of one.. silenceisdefeat is free
[04:35] <jrib> rustytech: what program are you trying to install?
[04:35] <helfrez> Azzco: no such thing, only silly questions are te ones you dont ask then b0rk ur system
 do i just type this in a terminal while in dvd directory
[04:35] <frogzoo> Paddy_EIRE: so you've got a bunch of .deb's  which you install with 'sudo dpkg -i pkgname'
[04:35] <rustytech> it's a driver for my intel video chipset in a laptop
[04:36] <prmigsu> I need some help. Im programming in Java and I want to read in some text from a file to a string. I have manage to read from file and then put it in to a new file. But when i try to read in to a string i only get nummbers..... can anyone help me?
[04:36] <dmsantam> prmigsu, go to #java
[04:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE: To identify all installed packages I use...    dpkg --get-selections >out.txt  to save the list of installed items  and <out.txt  to restore all installed apps
[04:36] <prmigsu> ok
 so i have to enter each package name : (
[04:36] <dmsantam> prmigsu, sorry, ##java :)
[04:36] <prmigsu> ok
[04:36] <Jack_Sparrow> paddy no
[04:36] <mcphail> axisys_: not free. bytemark in the uk seem quite cheap, and you could use them as web/mailserver etc. Depends on where you are in the world.
[04:37] <rustytech> anyone have an idea?
 can we talk one on one for 5 mins
[04:37] <prmigsu> ##java
[04:37] <Jack_Sparrow> k'
[04:37] <rustytech> :D
[04:37] <joes_meat> I'm having a bit of trouble with my PCMCIA wireless card.
[04:37] <Jack_Sparrow> join #Jack_Sparrow
[04:37] <frogzoo> Paddy_EIRE: sudo dpkg -i *     is kind of asking for trouble, maybe 'for x in * ; do sudo dpkg -i $x ; done'
[04:38] <rustytech> do i need to compile what i've downloaded?
[04:38] <fuoco> what's the best way to share files on network between ubuntu and os x
[04:38] <fuoco> ?
[04:38] <joes_meat> Ubuntu freezes during boot at "initialising network interfaces"
[04:38] <helfrez> fuoco: samba
[04:38] <joes_meat> fuoco: Use SAMBA.
[04:38] <Jack_Sparrow> rustytech: depends if you got it from the repo or somewhere else that is not structured... rpm... gag me
[04:38] <drbree1> rustytech: what have you downloaded =
[04:38] <rustytech> i got it from intel site
[04:38] <rustytech> the filename is Intel-3.4.3006-20051209.i386.tar.gz
[04:38] <Jack_Sparrow> follow their instructions
[04:38] <Myrth> rustytech: no README / instructions on website / etc ?
[04:39] <Azzco> I've got a new stupid question... when I used kubuntu there was a short cut for something similar to windows taskmgr or what's it's name, well anyways I want to shut down a certain process
[04:39] <rustytech> i dont think so..
[04:39] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE:
[04:39] <drbree1> rustytech: first extract it and look inside
[04:39] <rustytech> yeah i did that
 do i type this exactly as showen sudo dpkg -i $x
[04:39] <drbree1> rustytech: then what is inside the archive ?
[04:39] <beazely> Azzco: ksysgaurd
[04:39] <joes_meat> Azzco are you running Kubuntu or ubuntu?
[04:40] <Azzco> joes_meat: ubuntu
[04:40] <rustytech> there are folders like "lib" "include" "extras"
[04:40] <drbree1> 10 minutes to dapper ! i did a dist-upgrade over an isdn connection and it literaly took me days
[04:40] <Azzco> joes_meat: I recently switched from kubuntu to ubuntu
[04:40] <XplOzIon> how can i make sure the php modules are working? they are inside /etc/apache2/mod-enabled/ and Include in apache2.conf
[04:40] <frogzoo> Paddy_EIRE: 'for x in * ; do sudo dpkg -i $x ; done'
[04:40] <rustytech> util, config etc
[04:40] <joes_meat> Do you want to just kill a non responding program?
[04:40] <Azzco> joes_meat: yes
[04:40] <joes_meat> Or have a system monitor?
[04:40] <drbree1> rustytech: what are you supposed to do with that archive ?
[04:40] <rustytech> im sorry guys.. im totally new to linux haha I got used to double clicking a .exe in wndows
[04:40] <beazely> Azzco: in that case gnome-system-monitor
[04:41] <rustytech> oops sorry
[04:41] <Paddy_EIRE> cheers guys Im gonna go try this
[04:41] <Azzco> thx beazely
[04:41] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE:  DOnt you just want to duplicate your installation on another box/install?
[04:41] <joes_meat> You can add either of those as an icon to your panel.
[04:41] <rustytech> drbreel I wanted to install a driver for my Intel card in my laptop
[04:41] <Jack_Sparrow> Good luck
[04:41] <nanomad> any1 can point me to a good howto to install gambas2 on dapper?
[04:41] <XplOzIon> how can i make sure the php modules are working? they are inside /etc/apache2/mod-enabled/ and Include in apache2.conf
[04:41] <drbree1> rustytech: it is not sinful to know less. it is sinful, though, to stay in this state of mind.
 more or less, but since i burned the dvd my machine has new packages and updates and such
[04:42] <rustytech> lol im trying to move up the ladder haha
[04:42] <Jack_Sparrow> ah
[04:42] <drbree1> rustytech: normally this stuff works with synaptic. have you tried ? what for a card is this ?
[04:42] <Spliffter> How do I close down X in Dapper?
 so i basically just want to install what i have burned so far
[04:42] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[04:42] <XplOzIon> how do i force aplications to reinstall with defaults conf files
[04:42] <rustytech> it's a 855 GM
[04:42] <Myrth> drbree1: is it sinful to continue using doctor's services instead of going to medschool?
[04:42] <rustytech> the one that comes with centrinos
[04:42] <dmsantam> XplOzIon, apt-get --reinstall install blah
[04:42] <joes_meat> Can anyone think of a cause as to why my install freezes indefinately when "initialising network interfaces"?
[04:42] <drbree1> rustytech: move up the ladder yeah - it often happens that i have a problem, ask for it in irc and in the meantime i can help two other ppl
 although I'll seek u out for any alternative method u may have as my experience grows
[04:43] <dmsantam> XplOzIon, or apt-get --purge remove blah. then install as normal
[04:43] <Spliffter> How do I close down X in Dapper?
[04:43] <mcphail> Spliffter: i think sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop should do it
[04:43] <XplOzIon> dmsantam i have tried it many times, but still wont fix my php problems
[04:43] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE: write the one I gave you down..
[04:43] <drbree1> dmsantam: is there a way to do this in synaptic ?
[04:43] <Spliffter> mcphail, thanks
[04:43] <drbree1> Xlopzion: what is your prob
[04:43] <rustytech> drbreel if not for my Operating systems class i wouldnt have gone out of my windows shell :D
[04:43] <dmsantam> drbree1, you can apt-get --purge remove in synaptic. when selecting to uninstall, its the "completely remove" or something option
[04:44] <drbree1> rustytech: and what does not work in your labby ?
[04:44] <XplOzIon> drbree1 im running a php site, but it wont load, php files popups to download
[04:44] <Server1> hi can someone please help me installing ubuntu? i bootet ubuntu from the "Ubuntu-6.06 i386 install CD - Desktop", started the install wizard an clicked thru step 1 to 5. at step 6 i have to choose the partitions and there the problems begin. i choose set partitions manually and it tells me my whole drive is not parted but i have a 15gb partition where i want to install ubuntu. i can even mount this partition.
[04:44] <drbree1> dmsantam: no i meant reinstall with purged configs
[04:44] <rustytech> we have to do comparisons of the algos we have in different Os's
[04:44] <prmigsu> What do i do if i get this message when i try to join a IRC channel?  "You need to be identified to join that channel"
[04:44] <dmsantam> drbree1, im not sure. i don't _think_ so. but not sure. drbree1 doing a purge remove, then installing is effectively the same though
[04:44] <XplOzIon> drbree1 and i have installed apache and all like i always do
[04:44] <jrib> !register > prmigsu
[04:45] <drbree1> rustytech: and what does not work in your laptop now ?
[04:45] <Jack_Sparrow> prmigsu: register your nick
[04:45] <joes_meat> My install will freeze when "initalising network interfaces" - but will boot fine if I unplug my PCMCIA wireless card.
[04:45] <tristanmike> what package do I need to install to get OO.org to do Spell Checking ?
[04:45] <dmsantam> !register
[04:45] <ubotu> Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[04:45] <drbree1> dmsantam: yeah i know i do this sometimes but a reinstall in context menu would be nice --> i think i could do this codemonkey style ;)
[04:45] <prmigsu> ok
[04:45] <rustytech> drbreel I cant install the video card.. that makes the display choppy and unpleasant... otherwise my laptop is all good
[04:46] <beazely> XplOzIon: i had the same issue, but it wasnt a non loaded module, but a package i had to install to fix it, cant remember what though
[04:46] <dmsantam> drbree1, yeah, shouldn't be too hard :)
[04:46] <drbree1> xlopzion: cant help sorry
[04:46] <XplOzIon> its ok
[04:46] <prmigsu> It says "unknown command.... im writing " !register"
[04:46] <mcphail> XplOzIon: have you run "sudo a2enmod php4"?
[04:46] <Sleeping_Sloth> xplozion: maybe you should post your php.ini to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[04:46] <OneSeventeen> what is the best way to browse an LDAP server in Ubuntu?
[04:47] <joes_meat> Wireless card worked fine on the Live CD before I installed to the hard drive.
[04:47] <Jack_Sparrow> prmigsu: register your nick using nickserv
[04:47] <Sleeping_Sloth> xplozion: php files arent being parsed - maybe the ini will tell us why
[04:47] <drbree1> tristanmike: search for oo.org dictionaries with synaptic - the dependencies will be transparently handled for ya
[04:47] <XplOzIon> mcphail, yes i have
[04:47] <Muniek> hi all
[04:47] <jrib> prmigsu: check your private messages from ubotu for instructions
[04:47] <Muniek> i have small problem at starting live-cd Kubuntu 6.06
[04:47] <drbree1> rustytech: can you tell me the name of the video card ?
[04:47] <XplOzIon> Sleeping_Sloth ok i will
[04:47] <MrFeetio> ok, im using OpenGL version "1.2 (2.0.2 NVIDIA 87.62), but a game im need needs 1.3 or higher. where can i go to get 1.3 or higher i cant find it in the repos
[04:48] <tristanmike> drbree1: no entries for that search
[04:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Muniek: what problem??
[04:48] <Muniek> it is loading all time, but when it start to load ''starting enterprise volume management''
[04:48] <Muniek> it go to text mode
[04:48] <Muniek> and make errors
[04:48] <prmigsu> ok, thx
[04:48] <Muniek> paste errors or no need?
[04:48] <drbree1> tristanmike: there are some - which language do u need ?
[04:48] <Muniek> Jack_Sparrow: ?
[04:48] <tristanmike> drbree1: it suggests that it needs "myspell" and the British/American myspell is installed, but OO.org doesn't seem to use it..."adn" does not get corrected for instance
[04:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Muniek: Did you check the cd for errors with the self test
[04:49] <Muniek> this cd is running normal at my friends's computer
[04:49] <joes_meat> Can anyone help me with my wireless problem?
[04:49] <Muniek> and i have 2 cd's
[04:49] <Muniek> and on all is the same problem

[04:49] <Muniek> is it any sens?
[04:50] <Muniek> if it running on other?
[04:50] <mcphail> XplOzIon: you definitely have the appropriate mod-php installed?
[04:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Yes...
[04:50] <Muniek> kk... then brb in 15 min i'll check it ;)
[04:50] <XplOzIon> mcphail i think so
[04:50] <MrFeetio> !opengl
[04:50] <ubotu> I know nothing about opengl - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[04:50] <marc> is there an option i can put at the start of a bash script so that it doesnt show the output to the console but hides it or redirects to /dev/null ?

[04:51] <Jack_Sparrow> Muniek: since you cant seem to answer an easy question someone else can help you.  The reason I ask is unless they have EXACTLY the same hardware as you the cd could have an error that lets it work for him and not you.

[04:58] <Jack_Sparrow> Server1: what is on the partition you created?
[04:58] <mcphail> Sleeping_Sloth: quake4 is quite good
[04:58] <Server1> kubuntu 5.10

[04:59] <Jack_Sparrow> Server1: How big is that drive
[04:59] <Server1> 80gb
[04:59] <frogzoo> tristanmike: tools -> options -> language aids
[04:59] <Jack_Sparrow> Sleeping_Sloth: yes sauerbratten is free
[04:59] <mcphail> Sleeping_Sloth: ;) Try nexuiz and tremulous
[05:00] <linuxboyfriend> Server1: is ubuntu installed finely? is your pc directly booting into windows? maybe grub is not installed at mbr!
[05:00] <Sleeping_Sloth> also - has anyone got anywhere with transport tycoon?
[05:00] <tristanmike> frogzoo: I don't have "Language Aids"
[05:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Server1: then your whole drive isnt partitioned only 15 gig of it.

[05:04] <Server1> Jack_Sparrow i can mount all partitions on my 80gb drive, its 15 swap and two times 30gb
[05:04] <fuoco> beazely: yeah

[05:04] <Server1> its well parted but the install wizard tells me the whole hda is not parted
[05:04] <Jack_Sparrow> Server1: You are mounting them from livecd?
[05:05] <fuoco> beazely: either the share doesn't show up, or it wants a password
[05:05] <Server1> yes
[05:05] <zazeem> how do i view how many files i have and the size of them, in synaptic? if so where in?
[05:05] <Muniek> Jack_Sparrow: what is solution on my problem?
[05:05] <SouthSide> hi everyone ...
[05:05] <SouthSide> can you help me ?
[05:05] <SuperMiguel> hello

[05:06] <beazely> fuoco: you want to put your smb.conf somewhere, and ill have a look if you want
[05:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Muniek: You need someone else to help you since you wont answer questions or do what people suggest like verify the md5 checksum... BYE
[05:06] <SouthSide> Where i can find Ubuntu logo in very good resolution , i want to make T-Shirt
[05:06] <Rubin> like, i want to be able to type  without cut&paste.
[05:06] <Server1> so the partitions are there, they work and are still fine but how do i tell this the wizard?
[05:06] <joes_meat> I'll get program x loading on the bottom panel then will dissapear.
[05:06] <SuperMiguel> www.ubuntu.com xD
[05:06] <fuoco> beazely: i haven't touched that file. i expect ubuntu to do it for me if there's need
[05:06] <afief> SouthSide: as far as i know, it's SVG, they are scalable and not resolution dependant
[05:06] <zazeem> how do i view how many files i have and the size of them, in synaptic? if so where in?
[05:06] <beazely> fuoco: oh lord
[05:06] <joes_meat> But only since I've plugged in the wireless card?
[05:06] <fuoco> beazely: :)
[05:07] <SouthSide> where i can find logo in SVG file ...
[05:07] <SouthSide> oki , my mistake for resolutio
[05:07] <afief> SouthSide, let me check
[05:07] <hangfire> Southside-dapper comes with a file called "examples" in your home directory with logos in it
[05:07] <SuperMiguel> does any one knows about sharing printers between windows and linux
[05:08] <SouthSide> Ok , thank you .... Welcomes from Serbia

[05:11] <tristanmike> Can someone please help me with OpenOffice.org? I have an important paper I need to spell check and it wont work.

[05:13] <[Ex0r] > grr, HOW DO I RECONFIGURE a monitor ?
[05:13] <DaxHuiberts> no, it's an AGP video card.
[05:13] <helfrez> DaxHuiberts: and is the main video card dual head? ive seen cases where onbard video or the main head gets polled instead of the active one
[05:14] <DaxHuiberts> there is no on-board video either
[05:14] <mcphail> [Ex0r] : grr, i told you above
[05:14] <helfrez> DaxHuiberts: did u try the safe mode?
[05:15] <DaxHuiberts> my video card has both D-sub and DVI connectors, but it isn't dual head I think, it's just a budget video card.
[05:15] <hundy_> has anybody every seen su or sudo prompt you twice for the same password?
[05:15] <DaxHuiberts> and safe mode gives the exact same problem.
[05:15] <mcphail> hundy_: only when you get it wrong

[05:34] <Jack_Sparrow> yes, no, maybe, well, yes, but no ,or,...
[05:34] <Mikkas> yes
[05:35] <iiiears> Mikkas - cp the file first. - trust me painful experience.
[05:35] <Mikkas> so ive cut it...
[05:35] <Mikkas>  ;)
[05:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Mikkas: save it as a different name
[05:35] <Mikkas> uh ok
[05:36] <iiiears> if you get into trouble pressing "e" at boot time will get you into grub again to select a partition.
[05:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Mikkas: then rename old to *.Mikkas
[05:36] <Mikkas> so if it crashes
[05:36] <Mikkas> ive saved it to menu1.lst
[05:36] <krang> make is complaining that the /lib/modules/2.6.15-26-386/build/ directory doesn't exist, which it doesn't. Anyone know what I needd to install to put it there?
[05:36] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[05:36] <sri_> k
[05:36] <Mikkas> all righty.
[05:36] <azcazandco> Alpha232: you still about?
[05:37] <Jack_Sparrow> Mikkas:  cross your fingers and go for it
[05:37] <Mikkas> but....
[05:37] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[05:37] <Mikkas> i havent pasted the XP code anywhere
[05:37] <Mikkas> just to the top of the list?
[05:37] <Jack_Sparrow> Mikkas:  you have a backup of the file correct?
[05:37] <freddie> hello alll
[05:37] <Mikkas> yep
[05:38] <Jack_Sparrow> Mikkas: paste at 110
[05:38] <iiiears> i wouldn't "cut" anything. - what is the worst that can happen with a duplicate extra choice.
[05:38] <Mikkas> thought so
[05:38] <Mikkas> thnx
[05:38] <Mikkas> cyas
[05:38] <Mikkas> you're all champs ;)
[05:38] <Jack_Sparrow> iiiears: IT is a simple job...
[05:39] <ad> Ng: Yup, u were right - just had to move cursor wrong way *sheepish* :-] 
[05:39] <iiiears> true - but, only after you have done it once
[05:39] <Jack_Sparrow> iiiears: he has a backup of the file, why leave it cluttered?
[05:39] <SuperMiguel> ^_^
[05:39] <Ng> ad: hehe, no probs. that just means you need to put something in the xorg.conf to tell twinview which side monitor2 is on
[05:40] <azcazandco> mcphail: hiya
[05:40] <mcphail> azcazandco: you get the drive?
[05:40] <ad> Ng: yeah, do u know the syntax for twinview?
[05:40] <azcazandco> I am back with a fresh ubuntu install on a new 200gb sata
[05:40] <iiiears> has anyone seen "Timestamp is too far in the future" when sudo is used?
[05:41] <mcphail> azcazandco: nice. You still have the other sata connected?
[05:41] <azcazandco> am currently copying the contents of my firewire drive to my new drive so i can format the 250gb external as ext3
[05:41] <azcazandco> yes I do
[05:41] <iiiears> i added vmware. - beginning to think it is playing tricks on me.
[05:41] <azcazandco> figured I could shuffle about and get the firewire to play nice with linux and get rid of the ntfs
[05:41] <mcphail> azcazandco: you could just backup onto your shiny new drive...
[05:42] <Ng> ad: it's the "TwinViewOrientation" directive, but I forget which one it refers to, so I'd take a look at the twinview appendix in the nvidia readme if I were you :)
[05:42] <azcazandco> ye sbut I still need the external to be ext3
[05:42] <mcphail> azcazandco: ok
[05:42] <azcazandco> so I dont have any trouble accessing files etc
[05:42] <azcazandco> or writing to it more to the point
[05:42] <Otacon22> Hi all
[05:42] <lwizardl> hi
[05:42] <Otacon22> I need help:
[05:43] <ad> Ng: nice one, thanx Ng
[05:43] <azcazandco> i can see the 10gb ext3 partition from my previous ubuntu install
[05:43] <mcphail> azcazandco: you could also stick a modest vfat partition on it if you want to persist with winXP
[05:43] <Otacon22> I have set in xchat the option that when someoue call me
[05:43] <azcazandco> but cannot see the screwed up part
[05:43] <Otacon22> pc speaker beep
[05:43] <Otacon22> but I don't hear nothing
[05:43] <mcphail> azcazandco: you won't see it. it is screwed up
[05:43] <iiiears> azca - grab a copy of the bootable gparted iso it is great. - more flexible than the ubuntu live CD even if ubuntu uses gparted also.
[05:43] <azcazandco> mcphail: I think I am gonna try and do it under qemu
[05:44] <mcphail> azcazandco: winXP? don't bother - too slow
[05:44] <lwizardl> i'm running a webserver using ubuntu as the distro and seems like 90% of the time all outside traffic into my server times out any idea what causing it to time out ?
[05:44] <Otacon22> I have ask on #xchat and they have tell me :" use a modprobe speaker or something..."
[05:44] <Otacon22> now, what I have to modprobe?
[05:44] <azcazandco> ah.. and what about running it under xen or vmware?
[05:44] <mcphail> azcazandco: use vmware if you are serious about it
[05:44] <azcazandco> I have a pretty high spec pc
[05:44] <Jack_Sparrow> azcazandco:  http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/
[05:44] <mcphail> azcazandco: but what is the point of a virtual windows? The only use for XP is gaming
[05:44] <azcazandco> amd64bit 3200 2gb ram
[05:44] <azcazandco> photoshop
[05:45] <azcazandco> really need it for work
[05:45] <lwizardl> mcphail, and dvd backup
[05:45] <javiolo> hi
[05:45] <azcazandco> nothing quite matches up under linux yet
[05:45] <PuppiesOnAcid> What will chmod 4111 do in terms of permissions?
[05:45] <iiiears> Iwizard - Do you have shorewall or firestarter installed? - it sounds like a routing problem. - intermittantly functional.
[05:45] <lwizardl> azcazandco, gimp
[05:45] <mcphail> azcazandco: amd64 3700 2gb here - winXP is Slooooow on qemu
[05:45] <mcphail> lwizardl: dvdshrink runs under wine
[05:45] <azcazandco> doesn't cut it yet and it isn't compatible with the backlog of psd's I have
[05:46] <iiiears> azca - outlook express, photoshop, dvdrip.
[05:46] <lwizardl> iiiears, whats the best way to test
[05:46] <azcazandco> have been looking at pixel but it is still beta
[05:46] <iiiears> traceroute?
[05:46] <lwizardl> mcphail, i've tried that it never seems to find my dvd drive
[05:46] <mcphail> azcazandco: older photoshop runs under wine
[05:46] <azcazandco> okay
[05:46] <azcazandco> maybe worth looking into
[05:46] <mcphail> lwizardl: try running under crossover office
[05:46] <mDot> ok everyone smile for the screensot =)
[05:47] <azcazandco> how much older?
[05:47] <hundy_> :>
[05:47] <mcphail> azcazandco: PS7 i think...
[05:47] <azcazandco> and how *good* is wine
[05:47] <PuppiesOnAcid> Anyone here running Ubuntu on a MBP?
[05:47] <gatekeeper> azcazandco: depends on the app
[05:47] <quiet> crossover office is great, thought not free.
[05:47] <mcphail> azcazandco: PS is the most "stable" wine app, I think. Disney use it.
[05:47] <wsjunior> how do i install firefox 32bits on my dappeer for amd64?
[05:48] <lwizardl> mcphail, ok i'll do that later to test currently i'm dual booting
[05:48] <gatekeeper> wsjunior: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava
[05:48] <azcazandco> okay I have another q regarding this clean install, what are the do's and don'ts for getting it running properly with most things?  i.e. using something like easyubuntu
[05:48] <iiiears> Puppies - There used to be an apple-ubuntu channel. - no gurus here at the moment - maybe later.
[05:48] <iiiears> !apple
[05:48] <ubotu> I know nothing about apple - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[05:48] <wsjunior> gatekeeper: thank you
[05:48] <gatekeeper> wsjunior: hope it helps :-)
[05:48] <mcphail> azcazandco: use easyubuntu if you must, but i prefer using the wiki
[05:49] <azcazandco> okay
[05:49] <PuppiesOnAcid> iiiears: I'm just curious how well it works.  Windows XP didn't work as well as I thought it would on my MBP.
[05:49] <PuppiesOnAcid> Mainly due to the drivers.
[05:49] <ElementC> Is it just me, or is packages.ubuntu.com down?
[05:49] <azcazandco> is mostly for video codecs, java runtime in firefox, ati radeon 9600pro drivers
[05:49] <quiet> what is an MBP PuppiesOnAcid ?
[05:49] <PuppiesOnAcid> MacBook Pro
[05:49] <quiet> ohh
[05:49] <quiet> ok
[05:49] <mcphail> azcazandco: WinXP runs at near native speed under vmware if you get stuck.
[05:50] <azcazandco> cool
[05:50] <azcazandco> I like the sound of that
[05:50] <azcazandco> just set up samba file sharing then
[05:50] <lwizardl> iiiears, nope neither
[05:50] <mcphail> azcazandco: yes
[05:50] <Drakeson> PuppiesOnAcid: what drivers you missed on you MBP? (other than iSight)
[05:50] <iiiears> Puppies, - It isn't as easy as x86 install. broadcom wifi and powersaving/hibernate features take a bit of tweaking. from what i have seen.
[05:50] <DrBashir2> how often will there be updates for 6.06? I was a little worried about the staggering ammount of updates I had to download when I first had installed dapper
[05:50] <PuppiesOnAcid> Drakeson: The video driver under XP just didn't seem all that great.
[05:51] <azcazandco> man 1hr 40 to get my firewire stuff copied over
[05:51] <PuppiesOnAcid> But, then again, maybe it's just Windows XP, and I'm not used to it ;)
[05:51] <azcazandco> is there a quicker way?
[05:51] <azcazandco> thought firewire was supposed to be fast ;-)
[05:51] <DrBashir2> I was very glad I had a 20 mbit connection
[05:51] <sri_> k
[05:51] <mcphail> azcazandco: no. Backups are often best sceduled to run overnight!
[05:52] <iiiears> 20 mbit. - very nice
[05:52] <Drakeson> PuppiesOnAcid: I felt nothing wrong about the video driver, I mainly use WinXP for Warcraft ;)
[05:52] <azcazandco> well I am going to try and mirror my most important files
[05:52] <azcazandco> now that I am going to have several drives
[05:52] <iiiears> DrBashir - Do you have a room mate? - lol
[05:52] <DrBashir2> Yeah, its the best consumer connection one can get in the netherlands
[05:52] <mcphail> azcazandco: mirror? as in RAID1?
[05:52] <azcazandco> got half a Tb attached to this box now
[05:53] <azcazandco> nah just backing up content to different drives
[05:53] <SuperMiguel> how can i unintall a program
[05:53] <DrBashir2> iiiears, why?
[05:53] <mcphail> azcazandco: cool. RAID is not backup!
[05:53] <a2xm> hi all, can I just boot using win xp installer CD and type "fdisk /mbr" to delete the GRUB and then reinstall ubuntu for fixing my broken GRUB?
[05:53] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[05:53] <mcphail> azcazandco: get used to rsync - it is the best backup utility out there
[05:53] <drega> a2xm why not just fix grub?
[05:53] <azcazandco> cool
[05:53] <a2xm> drega: can not
[05:53] <Jack_Sparrow> a2xm: or you can try the Super Grub Repaid CD
[05:54] <Jack_Sparrow> repair
[05:54] <azcazandco> so any major DON'Ts I should avoid at all costs
[05:54] <a2xm> Jack_Sparrow: what's that?
[05:54] <iiiears> mcphail - Mondo?
[05:54] <Jack_Sparrow> Bootable cd to repair Grub.  searches all drives and partitions for linux installs
[05:54] <mcphail> azcazandco: don't mess with the partition table without a full backup!
[05:54] <azcazandco> lol....  gotcha
[05:55] <PuppiesOnAcid> Drakeson: World of Warcraft?
[05:55] <a2xm> Jack_Sparrow: where I can get it?
[05:55] <azcazandco> what about on separate drives?
[05:55] <Jack_Sparrow> http://adrian15.raulete.net/grub/tiki-file_galleries.php
[05:55] <Jack_Sparrow> Super Grub
[05:55] <mcphail> iiiears: 2 unix progs inspire love: screen and rsync...
[05:55] <azcazandco> think i am gonna install desktop wiki
[05:55] <azcazandco> keep on top of all advice I am given in here
[05:55] <DrBashir2> screen?
[05:56] <Drakeson> no, at some point I decided I will get consumed by WoW, so I still stick to W3,W3x
[05:56] <Drakeson> at least not until I earn my degree, lol
[05:56] <iiiears> mcphail - I am too new to know what screen is. - remote control software?
[05:56] <azcazandco> what is screen?
[05:56] <a2xm> Jack_Sparrow: if I delete mbr and reinstall ubuntu, it will make a new grub right? and my win xp will be ok too?
[05:56] <azcazandco> is it like vnc?
[05:56] <Drakeson> !screen
[05:56] <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
[05:56] <CarinArr> screen for the win
[05:57] <Jack_Sparrow> a2xm:  it should yes, but why not fix what you have..?
[05:57] <mcphail> iiiears: allows you to run different sessions in the terminal, detach them and reattach later after they have been running in the background.
[05:57] <Jack_Sparrow> a2xm: it is a handy cd to have around
[05:57] <Keyseir> I just got a 19" widescreen LCD. Is it possible to configure my ubuntu computer's resolution to 1440 x 900? It's not in the menu.
[05:57] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[05:57] <drega> a2xm tried whats listed here? http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/HoaryStarterGuide
[05:57] <Okapeikko> hmm...sorry to trouble you with such a beginners question, but how do I change the size of my desktop (can't remember the proper word for size)?
[05:57] <drega> for restoring grub?
[05:57] <mcphail> iiiears: very valuable if you spend most of your time on the command line, ssh'ing to your box from work
[05:58] <Okapeikko> ah resolution
[05:58] <hyk_wrk> hiall
[05:58] <rambo3> !info xmame-common dapper
[05:58] <ubotu> xmame-common: Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. In repository multiverse, is optional. Version 0.101-1 (dapper), package size 199 kB, installed size 468 kB
[05:58] <hyk_wrk> anyone using hardware raid
[05:58] <drega> a2xm or here http://www.shahidhussain.com/wordpress/index.php?p=33
[05:58] <jaek> can any LVM users please post their /boot/grub/menu.lst file.......... PLEASE
[05:58] <a2xm> Jack_Sparrow: sorry, where i can get that super grub repair CD?
[05:58] <azcazandco> mcphail: is there any point in upgrading my kernel to 64bit?
[05:58] <Jack_Sparrow> http://adrian15.raulete.net/grub/tiki-file_galleries.php
[05:59] <a2xm> Jack_Sparrow: oh, ok
[05:59] <rambo3> !info xmame-common breezy

[05:59] <Jack_Sparrow> azcazandco: no
[05:59] <mcphail> azcazandco: if you have installed 32bit, you can't upgrade to 64 bit.
[05:59] <Drakeson> iiiears: e.g. you can run your irc client on a detached screen session on your never-shuts-down machine and attach to it whenever you like
[05:59] <azcazandco> nice straight answer
[05:59] <azcazandco> :D
[05:59] <iiiears> mcphail - hm - a better way to manage the command line. - nice tip.
[05:59] <Keyseir> Can anyone tell me how I can set my resolution to 1440 x 900?
[05:59] <mcphail> azcazandco: i found the 64bit distro much faster, but the other annoyances made me give up on it
[05:59] <azcazandco> Jack_Sparrow: is that because it aint that much use?
[05:59] <hyk_wrk> am i correct that using hwraid, i only need to install on the first hdd?
[06:00] <azcazandco> or lack of stability of drivers etc
[06:00] <PuppiesOnAcid> Keyseir: Are you on a MacBook Pro?
[06:00] <redman276> im having a problem with my  resolv.conf   is ther  any way to set  my  DNS statically ?
[06:00] <redman276> and  have it stay
[06:00] <azcazandco> mcphail: if you gave up... i aint even gonna try ;-)
[06:00] <Keyseir> puppiesonacid: no
[06:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Keyseir: edit your    /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:00] <PuppiesOnAcid> What sort of computer has a 1440x900 res?
[06:01] <iiiears> Keyseir - sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf  add the resolution you want to the default entry and lower down where you have your highest color settings/resolution settings
[06:01] <hundy_> search am.corp.coopervision.com
[06:01] <hundy_> nameserver 172.16.1.81
[06:01] <hundy_> for example for resolv.conf
[06:01] <Keyseir> Jack_Sparrow, iiiears, thanks. I'll try those
[06:01] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[06:01] <mcphail> azcazandco: you have a big disk - a small experimental amd64 partition would be fine
[06:01] <hundy_> that sounded personal
[06:02] <DrBashir2> I tried the 64 bit live CD too, but it would just hang on me, even in safe mode. Then tried the 32bit, that hang too, but it booted normally in safe mode... now for the first time ive been able to get cedega to give me all the green lights
[06:02] <azcazandco> mcphail: is partitioning the only gotcha to watch out for?
[06:02] <Keyseir> iiiears, "and lower down where you have your highest color settings/resolution settings" I'm not exaclty sure what you mean by that.
[06:02] <iiiears> Key - make a backup sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
[06:02] <hyk_wrk> am i correct that using hwraid, i only need to install on the first hdd?
[06:02] <jaek> any LVM users please post their /boot/grub/menu.lst file!!!!!
[06:02] <hundy_> redman - did you see my example?
[06:02] <redman276> no
[06:02] <hundy_> search am.corp.coopervision.com
[06:02] <hundy_> nameserver 172.16.1.81
[06:03] <redman276> put that in  resolv.conf  the   " search"  tag ?
[06:03] <hundy_> the search tag is for your local domain
[06:03] <hundy_> then you can hardcode your dns server with the nameserver tag
[06:04] <redman276> cause  im behind a router , and well  it keeps  kicking  back  0.0.32.144   and i manually set it  through  sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf   'esc :w :q   then i can get online
[06:04] <redman276> but every time i connect   i have to manually   do this
[06:04] <mcphail> azcazandco: got to go home now. Will be back on (briefly) after 11pm (currently 5pm local time)
[06:04] <redman276> i would like it  to be  automatic
[06:05] <Okapeikko> quit
[06:05] <dooglus> redman276: edit /etc/resolv.conf and change the word 'search' to 'domain'
[06:05] <redman276> ok
[06:05] <azcazandco> mcphail: where are you based?
[06:05] <quiet> is there an imagemagick command or something that will convert svg to png?
[06:05] <Keyseir> iiiears, I made the backup. I have no idea exactly what to edit to add the new resolution, though
[06:05] <hundy_> dooglus - why?
[06:05] <azcazandco> uk?
[06:05] <abhinay> how much memory should i give for video card ( in configure xserver-xorg )  ?
[06:05] <dooglus> hundy_: he doesn't want to use DHCP to get his DNS server IP
[06:05] <gdb> abhinay: However much is on the card.
[06:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Keyseir: BE advised that entering invalid info could FRY your monitor
[06:06] <hundy_> I use dhcp and dont lose my nameserver at all..
[06:06] <redman276> so then search domain.invalid  should be changed  to   domain  domain.invalid
[06:06] <dooglus> hundy_: how did you achieve that?
[06:06] <abhinay> gdb, i did not get you ?
[06:06] <snowblink> redman276, are you getting your address by DHCP?
[06:06] <iiiears> Keyseir -   http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18948  add the resolution you want to each color depth
[06:06] <oCRaCy> hi
[06:06] <Jack_Sparrow> gdb: Ill be glad to show you..
[06:06] <gdb> abhinay: I didn't ask you a question, I answered yours.
[06:06] <Keyseir> Jack_Sparrow, thanks for the warning. Shiit. I wonder if there's an official guide for this
[06:06] <hundy_> um... no clue I guess... I just set the  resolv.conf that way and run with it
[06:07] <redman276> ***gdb   set the   refresh and  freq  wrong in any os and monitor  goes  poof
[06:07] <gdb> Jack_Sparrow: I'd be interested in seeing it.  Got some pictures or something?
[06:07] <dooglus> hundy_: alternatively, add "PEERDNS=no" to the ifcfg-eth0 file
[06:07] <iiiears> Hi dooglus
[06:07] <dooglus> iiiears: hi
[06:07] <gdb> redman276: Yeah, I think it's BS.
[06:07] <Jack_Sparrow> gdb: you must be very new to this.  How old are you 12?
[06:07] <oCRaCy> first i am newbie linux user, i wanna learn to install rpm file ?
[06:07] <redman276> ive  seen it  gdb
[06:07] <abhinay> gdb, so how much memory should i give , if selected vesa driver ..?
[06:07] <redman276> ok so ......
[06:07] <jaek> are there NO lvm users awake here? please show me your menu.lst file
[06:08] <gdb> Jack_Sparrow: 32 and I've been using Linux since October of 1994.  How about you take your personal problems with me somewhere else, m'kay?
[06:08] <iiiears> Have you ever seen the "Time stamp too far in the future" with a sudo command?
[06:08] <redman276> changing search domain.invalid   to domain domain.invalid  will work ?
[06:08] <gdb> abhinay: However much is on the card.  If you have a 128MB card, then 128MB, etc.
[06:08] <sri_> \ll
[06:08] <dooglus> iiiears: yes, I have.
[06:08] <hundy_> dooglus: wonder why mines works
[06:08] <snowblink> redman276, are you getting your address by DHCP?
[06:08] <redman276> yes  snowblink
[06:08] <iiiears> dooglus - Was it after installing VMWare?
[06:09] <dooglus> hundy_: I don't know.  maybe your DHCP server isn't telling your box any DNS address to use
[06:09] <snowblink> redman276, then you need to alter /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
[06:09] <abhinay> gdb, i don't know how much is on the card.  hw could i know tat ?
[06:09] <redman276> my router is a  cheapy   blitz  super g108
[06:09] <oCRaCy> when i used rpm command i am giving an error bash: rpm: command not found
[06:09] <crazy_penguin> Hi all!
[06:09] <dooglus> iiiears: I never installed VMware, no
[06:09] <oCRaCy> what i should
[06:09] <abhinay> gdb, is there any command for tat ?
[06:09] <gdb> abhinay: Ah, well, what model of card do you have?
[06:09] <redman276> ok  snow
[06:10] <oCRaCy> someone can help me :)
[06:10] <iiiears> OCrazy - "Alien" and "build-essential"  to handle rpms?
[06:10] <abhinay> gdb, intel
[06:10] <redman276> what line in  dhclient.conf should i edit ?
[06:10] <quiet> oCRaCy, ubuntu is not rpm-based... it use .deb packages.
[06:10] <selinuxium> Hi all, Does anyone know of a Small Business Ubuntu tutorial. Showing the setup of the server and users?
[06:10] <Keyseir> iiiears, I made the edits and there aren't any new options in Screen Resolution Preferences. Is there something else I have to do?
[06:11] <oCRaCy> hmm  oke
[06:11] <oCRaCy> but i will install winamp
[06:11] <redman276> is  it  the   #prepend line ?
[06:11] <oCRaCy> i searched on intternet i find only rpm files
[06:11] <snowblink> redman276, prepend domain-name-servers ...
[06:11] <redman276> change   127.0.0.1 to my   dns  that i use ?
[06:12] <snowblink> redman276, change to whatever name servers you want to be set first every time you get a new IP address from your DHCP server
[06:12] <oCRaCy> are there winamp's .deb file ?
[06:12] <redman276> okies :D
[06:12] <iiiears> selinixium - I seem to remember a howto on how to set up ubuntu for an isp - give me a second to find the link again.
[06:12] <harisund> Can somebody point me to a place where I can understand how umask works for directories and files?
[06:12] <jaek> any LVM user please post your menu.lst file!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[06:13] <Keyseir> Jack Sparrow, iiiears, after I make the edits and save is there something else I have to do before I can switch to the new resolution?
[06:13] <hypnox> jaek don't be a tool
[06:13] <brotakul> does anybody know a working repository for installing alien and rpm for ubuntu?
[06:13] <jaek> hydrod, a tool? how so
[06:14] <iiiears> selinixium - This should give you a starting point http://howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_5.10
[06:14] <krang> So can *anyone* tell me why /lib/modules/2.6.15-26-386/ doesn't have a build/ subdir? Best as I can tell right now, I have to recompile my kernel to get it
[06:14] <neenaoffline> how do I find the RAM clock speed ??
[06:14] <selinuxium> iiiears: Cheers! :)
[06:14] <krang> all i want to do is build a bloody driver module
[06:14] <redman276> i appreciate the help :)
[06:15] <gorpon_> jaek: kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.17-1.2157_FC5smp ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/rootvol rhgb quiet
[06:15] <esters> brotakul, sudo apt-get install alien
[06:15] <gorpon_> jaek: the only difference is the root device
[06:15] <gorpon_> jaek: on my config...
[06:15] <Keyseir> Jack Sparrow, iiears, you guys leave?
[06:15] <gorski> hi, i installed doc-linux-html, where can i read it after installation?
[06:15] <jaek> gorpon, thanks man, i'll give that a try
[06:16] <brotakul> esters: not working. some problems with unmet dependencies
[06:16] <esters> with dependencies?
[06:16] <esters> then install them
[06:16] <iiiears> gorski - /usr/share/doc - possibly
[06:17] <Keyseir> iiiears, I made the changes but I can't select the new resolution with the graphical preference manager. Is there another step?
[06:18] <iiiears> Keyseir - No, that should of done it. - doh.
[06:18] <gorski> ok, tnx
[06:18] <Keyseir> iiiears, hmm
[06:18] <DrBashir2> Whats the best way to get easy remote access to ubuntu (considering that I can only use port 80 from work)
[06:20] <Intangir> i have this ATI card
[06:20] <iiiears> Keyseir - I am not sure what to suggest. - xvidtune is dangerous and xinerama is overkill.
[06:20] <Intangir> ATI Express 200G RS480? or something like that
[06:20] <Intangir> it doesnt seem to work with linux, at all
[06:20] <Intangir> i get 640x480
[06:20] <PMantis> Anyone get vmware-player working with the 2.6.15-26-686 kernel?
[06:20] <Intangir> when i installed the binary driver it crashed the computer completely
[06:20] <DrBashir2> xinerama?
[06:21] <iiiears> xinerama allows you to run 2 or more monitors
[06:21] <gorpon> PMantis: did you try installing the  "vmware-any-any" patches?
[06:22] <PMantis> gorpon, Hmm, no... where do I find that?
[06:22] <Keyseir> iiiears, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18951
[06:22] <leo__> hi , I'am doing a net install from dapper but the installer fails when choosing a mirror
[06:23] <leo__> i see a glibc error telling mee there is a free corruption
[06:23] <snowblink> PMantis, did you rerun the config after the kernel update?
[06:23] <leo__> double free or corruption that is
[06:23] <iiiears> keyseir - ok
[06:23] <mDot> scrennie: http://ubuntuforums.org/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=3119&cat=2
[06:23] <leo__> is this a known issue ? I used the mini.iso
[06:23] <PMantis> snowblink, I've remove --purde'd the player and reinstalled... the config always fails because it can't find the vmnet module.
[06:24] <Keyseir> iiiears, so there's no reason 1440x900 shouldn't be listed under Screen Resolution Preferences:Default settings?
[06:24] <iiiears> keyseir - It looks good to me. - can we convince your machine of that though?
[06:24] <Keyseir> iiears, (that you can think of)
[06:24] <Jack_Sparrow> !ati > Intangir
[06:24] <PMantis>  I try to modprobe a module, and it's in /lib/modules`uname -r`/misc , what would stop it from loading?c
[06:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Keyseir: as long as your monitor supports it you will be fine
[06:25] <JethroDawnfine> hey, does anyone know how to make cron to run a command for each 30 minutes?
[06:25] <snowblink> JethroDawnfine, man 5 crontab
[06:26] <iiiears> Keyseir - xinerama has a dozen+ configurations maybe that would help?....
[06:26] <snoops> anyone know how to get kopete to sort your contact list by type?
[06:26] <Keyseir> Jack_Sparrow, "it"? I currently have it in 1280x1024 and it looks stretched :-/
[06:26] <Keyseir> iiears, was xinerama what you called dangerous?
[06:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Keyseir: because that is not a wide res
[06:27] <DrBashir2> yeah, why would it be dangerous?
[06:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Keyseir: what is your monitor type..model
[06:27] <leo__> the full error is **** glibc detected **** double free or corruption (fasttop)
[06:27] <leo__> during the installer (when selecting a mirror)
[06:27] <iiiears> "xvidtune" is pretty darn frightening. it can seemingly do very bad things by manipulating hardware directly. - all kinds of caveats when it opens.
[06:28] <webben> Does lynx http://www.google.com fail for anyone else?
[06:28] <jrib> webben: are you using dapper?
[06:28] <jimcooncat> gnome-system-log is segfaulting when trying to open /var/log/getmail.log.1.gz. How do I search that file?

[06:29] <webben> jrib: why is this some sort of dapper weirdness?
[06:29] <jrib> webben: hmm I filed a bug report and thought the isuue got sorted in dapper
[06:29] <DrBashir2> It doesn'' seem like I can use xinerama for remoting
[06:29] <jrib> webben: let me find my bug report, I had the workaround included.  That way you can see if it is the same issue
[06:30] <iiiears> keyseir - Would the refresh rate be important also?
[06:30] <webben> jrib: thanks
[06:31] <abhinay> is it safe to Use kernel framebuffer device interface ?
[06:31] <Keyseir> iiiears, I don't know? I don't see it listed anywhere. (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824009073) I'll check the manual.
[06:31] <redman276> works  great  guys thanks

[06:34] <redman276> ummm ok what would i put  in there?
[06:34] <Keyseir> Jack_Sparrow: ok. will do
[06:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Keyseir: Not append but add into
[06:34] <dr_willis> andy-,  you mean have it ran when the user logs in?
[06:34] <Keyseir> Jack_Sparrow, yeah. add. wrong word.
[06:35] <andy-> yea, so i dont have to do it manually every time i reboot
[06:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Keyseir: append implies attached to end of file

[06:36] <a2xm> Jack_Sparrow: i've downloaded the SGD for cdrom format. what next? burn it to a cd? sorry, i can't find the howto in the site.
[06:36] <redman276> ok   ty
[06:36] <usuario> gtu
[06:36] <iiiears> SGD?
[06:36] <Intangir> this damn ati card SUCKS
[06:37] <usuario> ybeatriz
[06:37] <fyrestrtr> Intangir: its 90% the drivers
[06:37] <Jack_Sparrow> a2xm:  I dont know what a SGD is..?
[06:37] <usuario> 250788
[06:37] <a2xm> iiiears: SGD=super grub disk
[06:37] <Intangir> using the 'ati' driver gives me 640x480, using the 'safe graphics' (vesa) its 1280x1024 ;)
[06:37] <A3r4nd|r> hi
[06:37] <Jack_Sparrow> a2xm:  I got the iso
[06:37] <iiiears> Intangir - I feel your pain buddy. - got ant ATI radeon express 200 integrated card.
[06:37] <a2xm> Jack_Sparrow: super grub disk
[06:37] <Jack_Sparrow> ah..
[06:37] <Intangir> iiiears: can you use a better driver? or only vesa?
[06:37] <a2xm> Jack_Sparrow: ;-)
[06:38] <webben> jrib: yep the workaround at the bug report allowed me to access google ... i'll leave a comment that this mess is still in dapper
[06:38] <Jack_Sparrow> a2xm: what OS are you in
[06:38] <A3r4nd|r> I have a problem with halt (init 0): it keeps rebooting the system
[06:38] <fyrestrtr> Intangir: you need to use the radeon driver, not the ati driver.
[06:38] <Intangir> i bought this pOS from HP, they said it was fully linux compatible
[06:38] <Intangir> it wouldnt even boot redhat cause the weird sata setup confused it ;)
[06:38] <fyrestrtr> compatible is highly subjective.
[06:38] <A3r4nd|r> does anyone had the same problem once?
[06:38] <a2xm> Jack_Sparrow: kanotix live CD
[06:38] <bkudria> how do i access the boot prompt from the dapper livecd?
[06:38] <Jack_Sparrow> Intangir:  I have HP4300 lappy here..
[06:38] <Intangir> fyrestrtr: what radeon driver?
[06:38] <Intangir> i tried to install the binary driver last night
[06:38] <Intangir> when it boots into X it kills the computer
[06:38] <Intangir> completely
[06:38] <fyrestrtr> Intangir: the driver called 'radeon'
[06:39] <Intangir> not just no video, its dead
[06:39] <Jack_Sparrow> a2xm: then get to K3B and burn the image
[06:39] <Intangir> it literally shuts down the computer
[06:39] <iiiears> Intang - With the correct kernel image accell works. - but gaming is painful. - changing screen resolutions cause lock ups.
[06:39] <Intangir> fyrestrtr: is it already installeD?, just change it to radeon? is that an opensource one?
[06:39] <a2xm> Jack_Sparrow: ok
[06:39] <Intangir> iiiears: what driver do you use?
[06:40] <Keyseir> Jack_Sparrow: It added that one to the list :D
[06:40] <iiiears> the binary from ati
[06:40] <Keyseir> Jack_Sparrow: "1152x864" <3
[06:40] <Intangir> do you have to set any special flags?
[06:40] <fyrestrtr> Intangir: look it up
[06:40] <nagyv> hello! I have a probably hardvare problem. During playing a DVD with kaffein I get this error in the console: [17181309.620000]  Buffer I/O error on device hdb, logical block 264577
[06:40] <iiiears> honestly, i ran out and bought an nVidia card after only a week of suffering.
[06:40] <davejbarneko> hi
[06:40] <cracko> how can i open a second X session
[06:41] <anonymeeee> my printer isn't supported
[06:41] <cracko> to test a program?
[06:41] <fyrestrtr> nagyv: have you enabled dma?
[06:41] <anonymeeee> psc 1350
[06:41] <Intangir> iiiears: ya the nvidia cards all work out of the box, and are easy to install the binary driver
[06:41] <nagyv> anonymeeee: probably not
[06:41] <Intangir> this ati crap is a huge pain
[06:41] <nagyv> anonymeeee: should I?
[06:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Keyseir: you may need to restart X
[06:42] <Intangir> are there really 3 different drivers? ati, radeon? and the binary driver from ati?
[06:42] <anonymeeee> any solutions?
[06:42] <anonymeeee> should you what?
[06:42] <nagyv> anonymeeee: sorry, missed the name
[06:42] <fyrestrtr> Intangir: there is ati, radeon and fglrx
[06:42] <anonymeeee> hp psc 1350
[06:42] <nagyv> fyrestrtr: probably not, should I?
[06:42] <fyrestrtr> nagyv: yeah, that would help :)
[06:43] <Intangir> so are ati and radeon both the opensource ones/
[06:43] <Keyseir> Jack_Sparrow: OK. 1152x864 looks a little bigger but it doesn't seem to be a major difference from 1280x1024.
[06:43] <nagyv> fyrestrtr: how can I enable dma?
[06:43] <rambo3> radeon is part of ati driver as is r128
[06:43] <fyrestrtr> nagyv: man hdparm
[06:43] <Keyseir> Jack_Sparrow: I'll go restart.
[06:43] <Jack_Sparrow> Keyseir:  it should just fit your screen better..
[06:43] <||arifaX> hi is there a simple monitor test utility available in ubuntu? just plugged my new tft in and want to test it
[06:44] <nagyv> fyrestrtr: wow, it looks a bit weird! I'll be back with my questions after reading it. :)
[06:44] <fyrestrtr> Intangir: your best bet is to install the binary driver from ati.com -- it will also help with suspend/resume and power saving since its a laptop.
[06:44] <Jack_Sparrow> ||arifaX: glxgears -printfps   form term
[06:44] <fyrestrtr> Jack_Sparrow: he said *monitor* testing :)
[06:45] <||arifaX> yep i know glxgears, i want a program that can eg display different colors etc
[06:45] <Syria> we have opened a new server for the coders please take a look : irc.wecoders.net thanks :)

[06:46] <quiet> 5.0 seconds*
[06:46] <quiet> typo...
[06:47] <iiiears> EEk! - Never mind "nvidia-settings - huge mistake sorry.
[06:47] <Jack_Sparrow> 30648 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6129.458 FPS
[06:47] <||arifaX> iiiears, no sorry ATI

[06:48] <Chetwin> My touchpad keeps losing sync
[06:48] <fyrestrtr> quiet: are you using accelerated drivers? If not, then its okay :)

[06:48] <quiet> i'm using the mildly accelerated driver that comes with xorg..
[06:48] <quiet> it's using dri.
[06:49] <Chetwin> Can someone please assist me with this touchpad issue
[06:49] <quiet> Chetwin, what do you mean by losing sync?
[06:49] <Keyseir> Jack_Sparrow, iiiears, I appreciate your assistance.
[06:49] <Chetwin> It says losing sync throwing away X bytes
[06:49] <Jack_Sparrow> quiet: Mine isnt even a good Nvidia, it is a 6600
[06:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Keyseir: good luck
[06:49] <Chetwin> I have to use psmouse.proto=imps so that my computer wont lock up
[06:50] <Chetwin> But then I can't disable tapping in my xorg
[06:50] <ad> iiiears: does nvidtune exist?
[06:50] <fyrestrtr> Chetwin: try tpconfig
[06:50] <Keyseir> Jack_Sparrow: :-) Image isn't quite as small as I'd like, but one can't be too picky. I really appreciate your help.
[06:50] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[06:50] <ad> is there an nvidia equivalent for xvidtune people ?
[06:50] <DaReD3ViL> also, i am wanting to play .nsv streams (shoutcast) and i cannot get them to work with any players, i have vp6.2 codecs installed
[06:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Keyseir: did you get it up to 1400
[06:51] <DrBashir2> can I install ubuntu on my iPaq 3975, with XORG? ^^
[06:51] <Jack_Sparrow> Keyseir:  IT will go 1400 x 900
[06:51] <Keyseir> Jack_Sparrow: Well it wasn't showing up.
[06:51] <rambo3> whats an ipaq
[06:51] <Keldon> rambo3: pda
[06:51] <Keyseir> Jack_Sparrow: I added it to the file and it isn't on the preferences list.
[06:51] <iiiears> ad - hm - seems like i imagined it. - must of been thinking rivatuner
[06:52] <neutrinomass> Hm... I just installed dapper on a laptpo and everything is much slower than it should. top shows that something called events/0 isusing 97% of the cpu... any ideas ?
[06:52] <||arifaX> iiiears, got one called screentest - downloading...
[06:52] <Keyseir> Jack_Sparrow: Oh wait. It's there now.
[06:52] <Jack_Sparrow> Keyseir: it should work, check for typos in that file
[06:52] <Jack_Sparrow> Keyseir: ok
[06:52] <Keyseir> Jack_Sparrow: Linux works in mysterious ways. It wasn't there before.. I restarted.
[06:52] <Keldon> i just installed Wengo 2.0 and when I open a chatwindow it has no window decoration (wengo itself does), could this be due to some missing QT libraries as i'm running Gnome?
[06:52] <rambo3> Keldon, dont realy know .
[06:52] <Jack_Sparrow> Keyseir: Like I said, you needed to restart x
[06:52] <Keyseir> Jack_Sparrow: BOOYAH! The world is smaller!
[06:53] <Keldon> rambo3: you dont know what a pda is?
[06:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Keyseir: Glad to help..  Just didnt want you trying for a res it would not handle
[06:53] <rambo3> Keldon, no it was to DrBashir
[06:53] <rambo3> sry
[06:53] <Keldon> np
[06:54] <Keyseir> Jack_Sparrow: Yar. Thanks again.
[06:54] <Jack_Sparrow> Keyseir: any time
[06:55] <nagyv> fyrestrtr: I read it, also found the hdparm.conf under /etc, and checked my cdroms actual state useing hdparm -I /dev/cdrw. It shows that udma2 is its active state. What should I do next? Isn't this set already? In the hdparm.conf, everything was commented out.
[06:56] <tabman> I want to know some info on vmware ?
[06:56] <Bonez56> tabman: me too
[06:56] <rambo3> ./j #vmware
[06:56] <tabman> if I install vmware on windows & the install Ubuntu on the vmware
[06:56] <redman276> how would i go about   using  apt-get to install xubuntu
[06:57] <tabman> and plug in something e.g. a Bluetooth Dongle, which driver will the vmware OS use to detect that hardware ?
[06:57] <Keldon> redman276: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[06:57] <Bonez56> hi all I installed kubuntu via apt-get and then I removed all the packages because I did not like it, but my boot/shutdown screens still show kubuntu. how can I get the old Ubuntu ones back?
[06:57] <dr_willis> tabman,  better question - how do you keep windows from using it first and taking it over.. :)
[06:58] <redman276> ty
[06:58] <fyrestrtr> Bonez56: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[06:58] <a2xm_> Jack_Sparrow: sorry, my kanotix just hung.. and I have not save the iso file.. could you give my the link again pls ;-)
[06:58] <elias_> Is NVagp faster than intel-agp/agpgart?
[06:58] <Bonez56> fyrestrtr: it says it's the newest version and nothing needs to be upgraded
[06:58] <Keldon> elias_: not in my case, agpgart is noticeably faster
[06:59] <tabman> dr_willis: ok so whats the solution ?
[06:59] <n0l0nX> hi
[06:59] <fyrestrtr> Bonez56: sudo aptitude reinstall ubuntu-desktop
[06:59] <tabman> dr_wilis: I'm actually facing such a situation ?
[06:59] <Bonez56> fyrestrtr: cool thx ill try that
[06:59] <fyrestrtr> nagyv: if that's enabled, then it could just be a bad disc
[06:59] <dr_willis> tabman,  no clue. i bet its mentioned in detail at the vmware forum/wikis. i aint got enough power in my pc to run vmware + a disrto. :(   ive only toyed with vmware and dos. :)
[06:59] <elias_> Keldon: which VGA chipset?
[07:00] <Keldon> elias_: nforce3 with 6600GT card
[07:00] <a2xm_> Jack_Sparrow: jack?
[07:00] <elias_> Any idea when it is a good idea to enable it?
[07:00] <nagyv> fyrestrtr: I thought that it's a problem on my side, because I can watch the video without problem under windows. :(
[07:00] <Keldon> elias_: just enable it to see if it's faster, if not resort back to nvagp ?
[07:01] <tabman> vmware would need resources which are typical for an OS e.g. 3 GB HDD for Ubuntu ?
[07:01] <elias_> Keldon: how to test the performance?
[07:01] <Keldon> elias_: glzgears and check the fps rates it returns
[07:01] <a2xm_> Jack_Sparrow: nevermind, got it ;-)
[07:01] <Keldon> oops, glxgears
[07:02] <elias_> tnx
[07:02] <Keldon> i went from 3800 to 4500fps in glxgears with agpgart
[07:02] <oCRaCy> hi i downloaded a file its tar.gz how can i install it
[07:03] <rambo3> oCRaCy, what file and what for
[07:03] <oCRaCy> beep-media-player
[07:03] <oCRaCy> now its /home/user
[07:03] <Jack_Sparrow> oCRaCy: and were there installation instructions on the site where you got it?
[07:03] <oCRaCy> its in /home/user
[07:04] <neutrinomass> To install the 686 kernel, I only have to install ilnux-686 right ?
[07:04] <oCRaCy> i am newbie
[07:04] <oCRaCy> i dont konw something
[07:04] <rambo3> oCRaCy, find the .deb package for you distro if not you ll have to tar xvf cd * configure make make install
[07:04] <oCRaCy> i installed ubuntu today :)
[07:04] <fiznut> woot
[07:05] <rambo3> !synaptic > oCRaCy
[07:05] <oCRaCy> hmm ok this tar.gz file must be which directory ?
[07:05] <Jack_Sparrow> oCRaCy: Noobs are better off sticking to the Repos unless it is something you cant live without
[07:05] <oCRaCy> /usr/local/bin ?
[07:05] <IcemanV9> neutrinomass: right
[07:05] <rambo3> oCRaCy, forget about that file
[07:06] <neutrinomass> IcemanV9: Thanks, it never hurts to double-check :)

[07:08] <baver> I'm trying to install libcairo2-dev, but getting this error:  Depends: libcairo2 (= 1.0.4-0ubuntu1) but 1.1.10-0ubuntu1 is to be installed. Any ideas?
[07:08] <ubotu> Words like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period.
[07:08] <oCRaCy> fyrestrtr:  i installed already
[07:08] <oCRaCy> sorry my english istnt good
[07:09] <oCRaCy> sometimes i dont understand
[07:09] <asdasd> hmm wonder why rtfm isnt welcome
[07:09] <sweetcake> It's official... Dapper hates me. x)
[07:09] <dr_willis> asdasd,  RTFM about the Channel. :)
[07:09] <Jack_Sparrow> asdasd: That is implied
[07:09] <dr_willis> lol.
[07:09] <rambo3> baver, i would guess there is a newer version or missing repos in your sources
[07:09] <dr_willis> or would that be RTFaq?
[07:09] <Jack_Sparrow> RTFFaq
[07:10] <baver> rambo3: should I try a different mirror?
[07:10] <DrBashir2> sorry, had to be afk for a bit... an iPaq is a PDA from the stone age
[07:10] <Wanderer> I wish PLF repository would stay alive
[07:10] <dr_willis> I think the first screen Ubuntu shows a new install/user shhould be a few dozen linux fundamental tutorials... - that would cut down on 1/2 the questions in the channel.
[07:10] <dr_willis> :)
[07:10] <oCRaCy> i will ask one question, now i run tar -zxf ...  but this tar.gz file must be which file .. now its in /home/user/Desktop
[07:10] <rambo3> baver, that isn't what i sad
[07:11] <sweetcake> I couldn't get my shipit CDs to even load, and an xubuntu-alternative CD froze at the clock configuration (as always happened when I tried to use flight CDs)... So I ended up installing from a Breezy CD, and it was working fine... then I upgraded it to Dapper, and the internet no longer worked :(
[07:11] <fyrestrtr> oCRaCy: do not install from the tar file, install from the universe repository. Read what people are telling you.

[07:11] <IcemanV9> sweetcake: is your eth0 up and running?
[07:11] <fyrestrtr> dr_willis: I think they should update the default firefox startup page to note a few commands, that would work better :)
[07:12] <oCRaCy> sorry fyrestrtr how can i install form universe
[07:12] <oCRaCy> wget ?
[07:12] <eXoDuS> anyone here knows how to change the command to run when using the "search" key on a multimedia keyboard? I could swear there was a post in the forums about it but I Cant find it. Anyone knows?
[07:12] <sweetcake> IcemanV9: It was... In the networking deally, it was active and whatnot.
[07:12] <DrBashir2> no, the default page of FF should be how to uninstall it.
[07:12] <rambo3> oCRaCy, learn to use synaptic
[07:12] <DrBashir2> Opera for the win!
[07:12] <menkent`afk> seems like your internet's working now, sweetcake ;)
[07:12] <rambo3> ! synaptic > oCRaCy
[07:12] <fyrestrtr> oCRaCy: no, enable the universe repository (see !repositories) then just search for beep media player in synaptic and install it.
[07:13] <sweetcake> menkent`afk: Back on the windows partition :(
[07:13] <menkent`afk> i figured, just giving you a hard time
[07:13] <IcemanV9> sweetcake: well. sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0
[07:13] <oCRaCy> oke thanks
[07:13] <sweetcake> IcemanV9: Pardon my newbieness... but what does that do? ^^
[07:14] <Jack_Sparrow> drops eth0 and brings it back up
[07:14] <fyrestrtr> sweetcake: that would be the same as disabling and enabling the network adapter in windows.
[07:14] <IcemanV9> sweetcake: basically, it will release IP to DHCP and then renew IP from DHCP
[07:14] <sweetcake> Mkay.
[07:15] <sweetcake> I didn't really know what to check for the sake of getting help... but plog said this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18952

[07:16] <XplOzIon> FTP HELP: How can a user see in his root folder, several access to folder that are in differents paths? i tried symlinks but didnt work
[07:16] <Azzco> I've got a really n00bish question here... I've got a dell computer, what architecture would that be?
[07:16] <XplOzIon> Azzco I386
[07:16] <asdasd> azcazandco or i686
[07:16] <Azzco> okay thx
[07:16] <IcemanV9> sweetcake: OH! you meant dial up?
[07:17] <sweetcake> IcemanV9: DSL
[07:17] <asdasd> What is the difference between suspend and hibernate?
[07:17] <sweetcake> But I set it up with pppoeconf
[07:17] <Ethan_Loves_Men> hey, do you guys know to to find game keys on these servers
[07:17] <sweetcake> And It said I should check plog for what's going on with it.
[07:17] <fyrestrtr> asdasd: one stores the data in ram, the other on the hard disk.
[07:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Azzco: 386
[07:17] <asdasd> fyrestrtr: which is more reliable in linux? and which does which
[07:17] <Jack_Sparrow> or 686 if new
[07:18] <XplOzIon> FTP HELP: How can a user see in his root folder, several access to folder that are in differents paths? i tried symlinks but didnt work
[07:18] <fyrestrtr> asdasd: this depends first on how well your laptop is supported.
[07:18] <fyrestrtr> !repeat > XplOzIon
[07:18] <asdasd> fyrestrtr how do i figure out how well it is supported?
[07:18] <Jack_Sparrow> model #
[07:18] <fyrestrtr> asdasd: by googling your model number followed by linux
[07:18] <XplOzIon> :/
[07:18] <phuzz> anyone have any links to setting up a soundcard? (i dont even know of the box sees it)
[07:18] <rambo3> linux-laptops
[07:18] <fyrestrtr> phuzz: should be setup automatically for you.
[07:19] <fyrestrtr> but if you have doubts, !alsa
[07:19] <Jack_Sparrow> phuzz: What soundcard do you have or is it onboard?
[07:19] <IcemanV9> sweetcake: aye. you need to fiddle with pppoeconf. check with your userid & passwd, etc..
[07:20] <fishy> How can I see the terminal output when I click "Suspend"
[07:20] <fishy> ?
[07:20] <sweetcake> IcemanV9: I did that about half a dozen times last night to no effect.
[07:20] <fyrestrtr> fishy: check in /var/log/messages
[07:20] <phuzz> not sure its an older box, im using xubuntu (im guessing its the same) I just want to know how to check everything. ive been google'en got all the codecs but nothin
[07:21] <eXoDuS> anyone here knows how to change the command to run when using the "search" key on a multimedia keyboard? I could swear there was a post in the forums about it but I Cant find it. Anyone knows?
[07:21] <asdasd> QUESTION: Why would i want to "hibernate" or "suspend" my laptop opposing to turning it off?
[07:21] <fyrestrtr> eXoDuS: its in the keyboard settings in gnome
[07:21] <sweetcake> Oh, something I forgot... One of the services was failing at startup... but I can never remember what it was called... pcpcia or something...
[07:22] <fyrestrtr> asdasd: because when you turn it back on, it will be where you left it off.
[07:22] <rambo3> pcmcia
[07:22] <eXoDuS> fyrestrtr, i mean change the actual command that is run, at home i changed it to start beagle instead of gnome-search-tool
[07:22] <fyrestrtr> sweetcake: if you are on a desktop machine, you can safely ignore that.
[07:22] <asdasd> fyrestrtr, see on my laptop ive suspended it before, and when i try to resume the system just restarts
[07:22] <fyrestrtr> eXoDuS: its the same place, I think.
[07:23] <fyrestrtr> asdasd: how did you try to resume?
[07:23] <eXoDuS> fyrestrtr, not as far as i know
[07:23] <asdasd> fyrestrtr by pressing the power button on the laptop again
[07:23] <sweetcake> fyrestrtr: Oh... Thanks :)
[07:23] <XplOzIon> FTP HELP: How can i set up an FTP account where the root is the account can see /home/This/ and /home/ThisToo/
[07:23] <fyrestrtr> asdasd: do you happen to have an ati video chipset, then to get proper suspend/resume support, you need the binary drivers from ati.com (speaking from experience here).
[07:23] <asdasd> fyrestrtr: ive never hibernated/suspended in windows so im not sure how it behavaes at al
[07:24] <asdasd> fyrestrtr I have an ATI Mobility Radeon X6000
[07:24] <help-the-n00b> Can someone help me?
[07:24] <help-the-n00b> Can someone help me?
[07:24] <help-the-n00b> Please?
[07:24] <jrib> !ask
[07:24] <asdasd> help-the-n00b whats the problem
[07:24] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:24] <menkent> help you do what?
[07:24] <XplOzIon> help-the-n00b tpy your question
[07:24] <help-the-n00b> Um...
[07:25] <help-the-n00b> is there a less crwoded room?
[07:25] <menkent> #sex-ed
[07:25] <XplOzIon> .lol
[07:25] <asdasd> haha
[07:25] <jrib> help-the-n00b: it's easier if you just ask your question first :)
[07:25] <help-the-n00b> is there?
[07:25] <asdasd> fyrestrtr is that an ATI chipset?
[07:25] <IcemanV9> sweetcake: i haven't played with pppoeconf in a long time. i don't know what else to help ya, but it is fairly easy to fix it.
[07:25] <cparker> i just installed totem-xine, and now every time I load Totem, it crashes.
[07:25] <fyrestrtr> asdasd: generally, when you close the lid, the system suspends, and when you open and press a key (or sometimes, when you just open the lid) it resumes. Hibernate is when you want to turn it off, then have it start back up where you left off. Hibernate saves the machine state to the hard disk, suspend saves it in ram. If you are in suspend mode and your battery runs out, when you push the power button your laptop will bootup.
[07:25] <help-the-n00b> I installed a program with Synaptic and can't find it.
[07:25] <fyrestrtr> asdasd: ah, yes sirree bob it is :)
[07:26] <jrib> help-the-n00b: what program?
[07:26] <IcemanV9> sweetcake: it's just matter of putting the right info to make a go of it.
[07:26] <jrib> help-the-n00b: and if this is too crowded, you can join me in #ubuntu-classroom
[07:26] <help-the-n00b> How do I do that?
[07:26] <jrib> help-the-n00b: type this:   /join #ubuntu-classroom
[07:26] <asdasd> fyrestrtr: alright, any chance you can point me in the right direction to find the proper drivers, (assuming that they work for you in ubuntu) (decently well)
[07:26] <cparker> The Application "totem" has quit unexpectedly. I can either restart the program, close the program, or inform the developers.
[07:27] <sweetcake> IcemanV9: Would it help at all if I got rp-pppoe?
[07:27] <vgoltser> I am having automounting disks and burning them ...
[07:27] <fyrestrtr> asdasd: sure, just type !ati and go to the website pointed to you by the bot. Remember, you want the binary drivers from ati.com -- not the stuff that's in repos.
[07:27] <vgoltser> I am having a problem* with automounting disks and burning them
[07:27] <asdasd> !ati
[07:27] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:27] <IcemanV9> sweetcake: never play with rp-pppoe before .. you can try
[07:28] <fyrestrtr> asdasd: I have mobility radeon x300 (I'm on a IBM Thinkpad, one of the best supported laptop platforms in Linux) :D
[07:28] <sweetcake> IcemanV9: Mkay, thanks for all your help :D
[07:28] <cparker> Does totem-xine not work? If so, why was it released?
[07:28] <asdasd> fyrestrtr i have fglrx already installed, does that mean i have the suspend/hibernate drivers too, or do i still need to look for the binaries ones on ati.com
[07:28] <fyrestrtr> asdasd: do you have the ati control panel?
[07:29] <vgoltser> ati control panel is terrible
[07:29] <ompaul> vgoltser, wrt part two, burning, if you have a pre made foo.iso sitting on your desktop and y0u right click on it - then choose "write to disk" keep the speeds down, with regard to automounting, click on System Administration Disks
[07:29] <asdasd> fyrestrtr i believe so...im not on my laptop though
[07:29] <fyrestrtr> asdasd: the ati control panel is available with the drivers from ati.com -- if you didn't go there, download the installer and run it, then you don't have the right drivers.
[07:29] <IcemanV9> sweetcake:  sorry, but i'm sure you'll get pppoeconf working soon.
[07:30] <Bonez56> Konversation
[07:30] <vgoltser> it says no cd is inserted but there is a blank cd-r there
[07:30] <asdasd> fyrestrtr alright thanks
[07:30] <fyrestrtr> asdasd: the drivers from ati.com also have support for powerplay (or some such) which is the ati marketing-speak for the part of the driver that controls the fan on the video board, so you can manage your power better.
[07:30] <Bonez56> Konversation
[07:30] <Coffeegrinds> got an odd question for anyone... Does anyone know anything about the Nintendo DS USB wifi adapter
[07:31] <vgoltser> also, with burning, I had to write some permissions in and make cdrecord with suid ... I changed it back though
[07:31] <bigcx2> hey all
[07:32] <bigcx2> is there a place i can put scripts so that they will run when gnome starts
[07:32] <ompaul> vgoltser, I gave how it works with a default install, if you have made changes you have to take those into consideration, what I have typed works
[07:32] <bigcx2> i tried .xinitrc
[07:32] <ompaul> vgoltser, if the images are bad - slow the burn speed down - x8 can be good
[07:32] <fyrestrtr> bigcx2: system > preferences > sessions > startup tab
[07:32] <vgoltser> big, system, prefs, sessions
[07:32] <bigcx2> i don't wanna use that
[07:32] <fyrestrtr> eh? why not?
[07:32] <bigcx2> is there another way?
[07:32] <vgoltser> ompaul, but the drive is telling me right now that there is nothing in the drive, when there is
[07:33] <vgoltser> big, no
[07:33] <bigcx2> really? thats hard to believe.
[07:33] <bigcx2> then again i couldn't find one...
[07:33] <fyrestrtr> bigcx2: what's wrong with what vgo and I said? You have a grudge against it?
[07:34] <bigcx2> i would rather just put them all in a seperated directory rather than put them in /usr/bin
[07:34] <bigcx2> plus
[07:34] <bigcx2> nm
[07:34] <tsume> 12
[07:35] <vgoltser> big, you don't have to have them in /usr/bin
[07:35] <fyrestrtr> bigcx2: no one is forcing you to put them in /usr/bin, I have all of my startup scripts in ~/.gnome-start-scripts
[07:35] <bigcx2> yea...i guess i just wish there was a non gui way to do it
[07:35] <bigcx2> like in kde
[07:35] <bigcx2> stuff is in .autostart
[07:35] <fyrestrtr> bigcx2: the only advantage of putting them in /usr/bin is that you don't have to type out the full path to the file.
[07:35] <bigcx2> right
[07:35] <ompaul> vgoltser, so do you suspect the hardware, because we know the software works
[07:35] <dandesousa> Urgent help needed!: My hdd which had ubuntu on it died, now when I boot up, grub gets an error, can I remove grub, and have it just boot windows normally?
[07:36] <vgoltser> not the hardware, hardware is good
[07:36] <fyrestrtr> dandesousa: well if your hard disk died, chances are windows is dead too
[07:36] <vgoltser> this is a pretty new computer
[07:36] <dandesousa> windows is on a different hard disk
[07:36] <Vhata> dandesousa: grub is just a bootloader, it doesn't affect the operating systems installed at all, you can chop and change bootloaders all you want without breaking anything
[07:36] <vgoltser> I think it is some update that messed the automounter up
[07:36] <asdasd> dandesousa nope sorry all is lost you will never have a computer again
[07:37] <fyrestrtr> dandesousa: just boot with the windows install cd, get in rescue mode and type fixmbr -- should get you going.
[07:37] <ompaul> vgoltser, so tell me what version are you running and when did you last update it and have you rebooted since?
[07:37] <vgoltser> ompaul, for cdrecord to work, I have to add custom permissions to udev and install cdrecord with suid and then it still fails to burn
[07:37] <vgoltser> yes, I have rebooted since
[07:37] <dandesousa> thank you
[07:37] <dandesousa> i will try that
[07:37] <vgoltser> 2.6.15-26-686
[07:37] <Vhata> dandesousa: you can also boot with an Ubuntu live CD, fix grub, and have grub boot windows for you, if that's what you want
[07:37] <ompaul> vgoltser, ehh not on any ubuntu install I have - and I have made 4 burners here and have made a few other ubuntu boxes for people and don't have issues with it
[07:38] <fyrestrtr> vgoltser: your user is in the cdrom group, right?
[07:38] <vgoltser> should be
[07:38] <ggilbert_> Has anyone gotten gpilot to work semi reliably on dapper? Whenever I try to sync a palm with evolution it runsthroughthe syncing process, but doesn't actually sync any calendar data.
[07:38] <fyrestrtr> well unless you made it manually, it should be. Just check.
[07:38] <ompaul> vgoltser, so is your user the first user installed on this machine?
[07:38] <vgoltser> yes
[07:39] <cypher1> what is the mount option should be used for ntfs so that every one can read the files inside
[07:39] <ompaul> vgoltser, so you are not set up as root
[07:39] <vgoltser> no ...
[07:39] <fyrestrtr> cypher1: umask=0000 should do it.
[07:40] <vgoltser> this is ubuntu ... there is no root ;)
[07:40] <dr_willis>  Technicially 'direct logging in as root is disabled'
[07:40] <asdasd> ggilbert_ try creating another calendar in evolution before syncing it
[07:40] <dr_willis> :)
[07:41] <kouwe> if i install an app with apt-get how can i see where the files are put to configurate them?
[07:41] <ompaul> vgoltser, so what version of ubuntu are you using
[07:41] <vgoltser> 6.06
[07:41] <ompaul> vgoltser, how did you install that

[07:41] <jaek> anyong using LVM please show me your menu.lst file
[07:41] <dr_willis> :)
[07:41] <vgoltser> 2.6.15-26-686 is the kernel
[07:41] <fyrestrtr> kouwe: should do it for you.
[07:41] <fyrestrtr> ggilbert_: what device is it?
[07:42] <vgoltser> I installed the latest flight and upgraded from that
[07:42] <kouwe> fyrestrtr: yes but i need to configure the config file, but where the hack are those?
[07:42] <vgoltser> flight6 or 7
[07:42] <Bonez56> can someone help me with truecrypt? i upgraded to a new kernel now i get errors saying the kernel module is the wrong version
[07:42] <fyrestrtr> kouwe: try dpkg -l nameofpackagehere
[07:42] <fyrestrtr> Bonez56: re-install truecrypt
[07:42] <Bonez56> fyrestrtr: already tried that, even tried compiling it from the source. nothing works
[07:42] <kouwe> fyrestrtr: it gives the name, version and description...
[07:43] <ggilbert_> fyrestrtr: Treo650
[07:43] <fyrestrtr> Bonez56: just boot from the old kernel?
[07:43] <XplOzIon> How can i set up an FTP account where the root path of the account can see "/home/This/" and "/home/ThisToo/"
[07:43] <fyrestrtr> kouwe: ah, try it with capital L
[07:43] <Bonez56> fyrestrtr: yeah I can do that but it doesn't solve my problem
[07:43] <fyrestrtr> ggilbert_: is that a WM device?
[07:43] <kouwe> fyrestrtr: aah ok that gives more info, thnx very much :D!
[07:43] <ggilbert_> fyrestrtr: No, it's a palmos device
[07:43] <fyrestrtr> Bonez56: sure it does, unless there is some burning reason why you need the new kernel.
[07:44] <Bonez56> fyrestrtr: the old kernel is i386 the one i am running now is k7
[07:44] <fyrestrtr> ggilbert_: hrmm okay, I had a thought, but I don't know if it would work or not.
[07:44] <Bonez56> i'm not going back to i386 just for truecrypt :)
[07:44] <ggilbert_> fyrestrtr: Well, I'm open to any random thoughts. :)
[07:44] <fyrestrtr> Bonez56: well I guess you answered your question :)
[07:44] <asdasd> QUESTION: Anyone synced a Treo 650 or Treo 700p with Dapper?
[07:44] <Bonez56> fyrestrtr: yeah there must be a way to get it running on the k7 kernel though?
[07:44] <fyrestrtr> ggilbert_: there is this program in repos called multisync that I am about to use with a WM device, it has plugins for evolution -- can't hurt to try it.
[07:45] <ggilbert_> fyrestrtr: Yeah, I installed that a couple of minutes ago. :) Thanks though
[07:45] <fyrestrtr> Bonez56: I'm sure there is -- as a general rule with kernel modules, when you upgrade the kernel, you install the new source files, and rebuild the module for the new kernel.
[07:45] <leks> anyone experiencing the libvolume problem too?
[07:45] <fyrestrtr> ggilbert_: make sure you install the plugins though, otherwise its pretty useless.
[07:45] <ggilbert_> fyrestrtr: gonna see if that works a bit better
[07:45] <vgoltser> cdrecord -scabus is having problems though accessing /dev/sg0
[07:46] <leks> conflicting with another volume package?
[07:46] <Bonez56> truecrypt: Incorrect version of kernel module loaded - version 4.2 required
[07:46] <vgoltser> scanbus*
[07:46] <Bonez56> fyrestrtr: that is the error i get
[07:46] <Bonez56> fyrestrtr: i have rebuild it from source
[07:46] <fyrestrtr> Bonez56: download the kernel source for your new kernel, and then try rebuildin git.
[07:46] <fyrestrtr> Bonez56: you didn't load the new module then, you have to remove the old one first.
[07:46] <Bonez56> fyrestrtr: you mean rebuilding the entire kernel or just the module for truecrypt?
[07:46] <fyrestrtr> assuming you built it successfully that is.
[07:46] <hussam> what package contains the w32codecs ?
[07:47] <Bonez56> fyrestrtr: do you know how to remove the old one? im not sure about that
[07:47] <fyrestrtr> !restrictedformats > hussam
[07:47] <vgoltser> ompaul, any idea?
[07:47] <hussam> fyrestrtr: ok thanks
[07:48] <ella> hey can some one help mee with wlan ?
[07:48] <fyrestrtr> Bonez56: well, here is generally what you do. Now this may not be 100% what you are required to do, but I'm pretty sure it is (I have never used truecrypt). New kernel is released, download, download source, change /usr/src/linux symlink to point to new kernel location, rebuild any kernel modules against new sources. Reboot machine with new kernel.
[07:48] <ompaul> vgoltser, just a min
[07:48] <ella> i have installed all and when i installed driver my wlan goes off
[07:48] <Bonez56> fyrestrtr: that is exactly what i've done :( which is why i'm confused hehe
[07:48] <cypher1> fyrestrtr, thanks
[07:49] <fyrestrtr> Bonez56: maybe you need a different version of trucrypt? really shooting in the dark here.
[07:49] <Bonez56> fyrestrtr: yeah i think ill have to play with it a bit more, perhaps i had an older version installed previously
[07:49] <fyrestrtr> Bonez56: ask the people behind trucrypt.
[07:49] <pdkl> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++....................3.66.200000...
[07:49] <pdkl> 3
[07:49] <leptest> hey
[07:49] <pdkl> heh
[07:49] <ella> enyone have same problem
[07:49] <Bonez56> pdkl: ??
[07:49] <Bonez56> fyrestrtr: yeah cheers ill see what i can find out
[07:50] <gnomefreak> Seveas: you busy?
[07:50] <leptest> i am using ndiswrapper to get my wireless working.
[07:50] <leptest> i have installed it ok. and loading/installed the driver
[07:50] <leptest> but when i do a iwconfig. i can't see my device. any ideas?
[07:50] <pdkl> thats what i get for letting the cat lay on the other keyboard
[07:50] <Seveas> gnomefreak, moderately
[07:50] <fyrestrtr> Bonez56: make sure you unload the previous module, or do this as a safe guard. Remove the module from /etc/modules -- reboot the machine. Then you know for sure the old module isn't there. Build the new module against the new kernel sources, then load the new module and watch the logs to see if you get any clues.
[07:50] <ella> lep
[07:50] <ella> leptest
[07:50] <gnomefreak> nvm
[07:50] <ella>  when you make that you wlan card lose ?
[07:50] <Bonez56> fyrestrtr: excellent idea, thanks ill do that now
[07:50] <ella> you have same problem ?
[07:50] <leptest> i didn't really understand that ella, sorry
[07:51] <Tokeiito> good evening
[07:51] <ella> sry i have bad english
[07:51] <fyrestrtr> Bonez56: back in my gentoo days, this was a routine I mastered :)
[07:51] <ella> but i think i have same problem what you
[07:51] <leptest> oh right
[07:51] <Bonez56> fyrestrtr: ugh, actually truecrypt loads the module as it mounts the volume, on a demand basis
[07:51] <leptest> any luck with anything?
[07:51] <cypher1> fyrestrtr, u do kernel programming ?
[07:51] <fyrestrtr> oh hrmm.
[07:51] <ella> when i install all then my device goes off
[07:52] <ella> need go tell mee if you got answer
[07:52] <fyrestrtr> Bonez56: well obviously its not the / partition that you have crypted, right?
[07:52] <Bonez56> fyrestrtr: nope, it's a seperate volume
[07:53] <fyrestrtr> Bonez56: if you can, unmount it, then do the module builds, and mount the volume and watch the logs.
[07:53] <Bonez56> fyrestrtr: the way truecrypt works is it creates a "volume" which is essentially in my case a 2gb file that sits on an fat32 partition... it's not actually a partition
[07:54] <fyrestrtr> Bonez56: if you can't unmount for whatever reason, you can still boot in single user mode, or from a livecd, chroot into your install and troubleshoot from there (if you are an adventurer like I am). Or you can start giving the trucrypt webserver some traffic spikes =)
[07:54] <leks> You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
[07:54] <leks> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[07:54] <leks>   grub: Depends: volumeid but it is not installed
[07:54] <leks> E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
[07:54] <leks> anyone havin any idea?
[07:54] <fyrestrtr> Bonez56: ah, see -- I don't do trucrypt so I'm really the wrong guy to give you advice on it.
[07:54] <Bonez56> fyrestrtr: yeah no worries, you have been a great help so far. thanks!
[07:54] <gnomefreak> leks: sudo apt-get -f install
[07:54] <help-the-n00b> Ok. I got a message saying "Could not grab your mouse. A malicous client may be eavesdropping on your session." What do I do?
[07:54] <gnomefreak> leks: just type that
[07:54] <bl3ssing> hello
[07:54] <leks> gnomefreak: doesnt work
[07:55] <help-the-n00b> Help?
[07:55] <help-the-n00b> Help?Ok. I got a message saying "Could not grab your mouse. A malicous client may be eavesdropping on your session." What do I do?
[07:55] <fyrestrtr> help-the-n00b: stop repeating, that's the first thing.
[07:55] <leks> mockin about libvolume id having same files as volumeid
[07:55] <gnomefreak> leks: are you using dapper?
[07:55] <leks> gnomefreak: surely not
[07:55] <help-the-n00b> What's wrong?
[07:55] <gnomefreak> leks: what are you using?>
[07:55] <leks> :-)
[07:55] <leks> edgy
[07:55] <gnomefreak> leks: join #ubuntu+1
[07:55] <bl3ssing> can anybody tell me which graphical software in ubuntu can compare to adobe photoshop (the last version, please)? thank you in advance ...
[07:55] <Bonez56> fyrestrtr: one other question, how do I make sure I have the exact kernel source to the kernel that I am running? I think apt-get gives me the latest version of source, which is diff to the kernel i am running. would u recommend i get the specific version from kernel.org?
[07:55] <leks> gnomefreak:  thanks
[07:56] <fyrestrtr> leks: ding ding ding! you have just won an all expenses paid trip to #ubuntu+1 courtesy of the fine folks at #ubuntu. Tell him what he's won Bob!
[07:56] <mjr> bl3ssing, generally, if gimp doesn't fill your needs for bitmap image manipulation, you're out of luck
[07:56] <help-the-n00b> Help?
[07:56] <fyrestrtr> Bonez56: no, I don't recommend that, because that would be the 'vanilla' kernel, not the one with all the ubuntu patches. See what's availabe in linux-sources (apt-cache search linux-sources)
[07:56] <vgoltser> ompaul, a non-blank CD it automounts
[07:57] <fyrestrtr> Bonez56: just try apt-get install linux-sources-`uname -r`
[07:57] <Bonez56> fyrestrtr: ok ta. but how important is it to make sure I get the exact version of source to the actual kernel I am running?
[07:57] <neighborlee> Is there a recent document someone could point me to, showing the date on which ubuntu  has plans to be 100% LSB compliant ?
[07:57] <Bonez56> fyrestrtr: E: Couldn't find package linux-sources-2.6.15-26-k7
[07:57] <fyrestrtr> Bonez56: honestly, it depends on what you are building against the sources. Somethings don't matter, others, yeah.
[07:57] <bl3ssing> thank you mjr
[07:57] <fyrestrtr> Bonez56: I think its just linux-sources-2.6.15
[07:57] <bl3ssing> i'll try to find it ... :)
[07:58] <gabaug> what pkg I need to get Mono.Data.Sqlite docs in monodoc?
[07:58] <Bonez56> fyrestrtr: i currently have this one installed: linux-source-2.6.15.tar.bz2
[07:58] <Bonez56> fyrestrtr: so i presume that would be it
[07:58] <fyrestrtr> Bonez56: almost everything that is a custom modules (like binary drivers for video cards) require a rebuild against the new sources -- the ones that match the kernel you are running.
[07:58] <bl3ssing> I'm a new fresh in ubuntu (actually, I've been here the last year ... but since my graduation ... didn't have much time), and now I'm BACK! :D
[07:58] <fyrestrtr> Bonez56: that's it, the stuff after the - is I believe ubuntu-specific.
[07:59] <Bonez56> fyrestrtr: ok, the only issue is that the linux-sources-2.6.15 that I have installed appears to be version 2.6.15-26.45
[07:59] <Bonez56> fyrestrtr: but my kernel is version 2.6.15-26-k7
[08:00] <fyrestrtr> Bonez56: hrmm, I believe you can ignore that, since the main version numbers match. -k7 might just mean the specific arch (which is not a big deal unless you jump from 86 to 64).
[08:00] <bl3ssing> why this adept's all the time keeping blocking itself? so bad ...?
[08:00] <fyrestrtr> Bonez56: I haven't done any kernel stuff in ubuntu, check the !kernel wiki entry.
[08:00] <Bonez56> fyrestrtr: awesome, thanks for clearing that up. i'll try and rebuild the truecrypt module again and see how it goes :)
[08:01] <fyrestrtr> Bonez56: make sure the /usr/src/linux symlink points to the right place.
[08:01] <fyrestrtr> Bonez56: I've made that mistake before.
[08:01] <yo> hello you have website dictionary when linux other write "tar -xjvf" in ubuntu need to do "sudo tar zxvf"?
[08:01] <fyrestrtr> cypher1: I don't do kernel programming, I'm just an enthusiast that likes to tinker, and relive his old C/C++ programming glory days.

[08:04] <fyrestrtr> whoa -- packard bell -- man, that's old...
[08:04] <fDErn> Its seem s to have installed the drivers, however, cant hear anything.

[08:06] <fyrestrtr> fDErn: are your speakers plugged in and working?
[08:06] <fDErn> Nope - Nothing muted..
[08:06] <fDErn> Onboard speakers..
[08:06] <fDErn> I have tried all the obvious according to the posts..
[08:06] <fyrestrtr> on board?
[08:07] <fyrestrtr> they are not plugged into the output jack at the back? on board generally is pc speaker, not the sound card speakers.
[08:07] <fyrestrtr> oh wait -- lol -- this is a laptop right?
[08:07] <fyrestrtr> just saw 'easy note' and thought, hrmm, worth to ask.
[08:08] <fDErn> Yes - Laptop ;)
[08:08] <fDErn> lol
[08:08] <fyrestrtr> okay ignore that then lol
[08:08] <fyrestrtr> okay, assuming other system sounds work? like when you boot, etc.
[08:08] <fDErn> no worries.. Fyrestrtr
[08:08] <GIGANTOR> Seveas?
[08:09] <fDErn> nope - NO sound at all..

[08:12] <tracker1> was able to get up and running on my main box.. first time linux has been my main OS... had to use the alt install though.. but went relatively smooth..
[08:12] <fyrestrtr> intelscat: if its hidden files, hit ctrl+h
[08:12] <bthornton> Actually, I suppose that's a few themes--so the Metacity and GTK+ themes; where do they live on the filesystem?
[08:13] <fyrestrtr> bthornton: some aren't installed by default. Try seaching for them.
[08:13] <dura> I'm looking for php5-pear, php5-xslt, php5-domxml, and php5-mcal
[08:13] <bthornton> fyrestrtr: What about the default them, Human, which I'm using right now?
[08:13] <dura> They aren't available in apt
[08:14] <bthornton> I could search but I don't exactly know what to search for.

[08:35] <c|int> going to College for Systems Engineering. Network specialist.. Computer Science the whole shabang.. I have been into linux since spring of 2004, I"m just trying to re take a look at maybe a diff approach, and I Liked how Gentoo set there partitions up.. would that be more secure, or not matter
[08:35] <fyrestrtr> secure is relative to the user.
[08:36] <fyrestrtr> secure against what? someone who doesn't know what they are doing? Ain't nothing secure from something like that.
[08:36] <XplOzIon> how do i mount /mnt/hdd1/ in /home/hdd1/
[08:36] <c|int> yeah.. I came from using.. Xandros, REd Hat, Fedora, even messing around with.. FreeBSD, PCBSD, my first distro was Mandrake..
[08:36] <dura> purple:
[08:36] <c|int> encrypted file system security
[08:36] <peppe_> fyrestrtr: running slackware 10.1 and vlc (using trident as video card module) there are no problems, video plays smootly. Here i'm using xubuntu and according to xorg.conf also using trident module i obtain choppy video
[08:36] <neutrinomass> c|int: AFAIK no distribution sets up partitions in a certain manner - it's up to the user
[08:36] <c|int> I have alot of the books, to tell me. plenty of information, I'm even waiting on an IDS from nfr
[08:37] <fyrestrtr> XplOzIon: you mount devices, is /mnt/hdd1/ a device?
[08:37] <purple> hm..
[08:37] <disposable_mike> Xp10zIon: mount -t <type> /mnt/hdd1 /home/hdd1
[08:37] <c|int> correct
[08:37] <purple> its too much crowd here
[08:37] <purple> i losing you
[08:37] <XplOzIon> . /mnt/hdd1/ <- an HDD is mounted there
[08:37] <purple> do you think its a ChipID 0x5964 metter?
[08:37] <Ruffles> ciao peppe_
[08:37] <dura> purple: do you use Yahoo at all?
[08:37] <fyrestrtr> XplOzIon: you can't mount a directory onto another directory, just devices.
[08:37] <c|int> I was just wondering.. so I'll do.. /boot as ext2,  then /swap 1G right after it. and then /root ext3, and then /home with ReiserFS
[08:38] <fyrestrtr> XplOzIon: setup a link if you want to see it from somewhere else.
[08:38] <purple> no google
[08:38] <peppe_> ciao Ruffles
[08:38] <purple> but i said
[08:38] <dura> purple: I mean Yahoo messenger
[08:38] <XplOzIon> fyrestrtr: link wont work with ftp :(
[08:38] <dura> Or Yahoo chat
[08:38] <purple> nothing i tried worked so far
[08:38] <purple> nop
[08:38] <Ruffles> anyone who cares to help me out with reiserFS partition resizing?
[08:38] <purple> icq and msn?
[08:38] <fyrestrtr> XplOzIon: sounds like a problem with how you have setup ftp, it works, trust me :)
[08:38] <fyrestrtr> c|int: that should work just fine.
[08:38] <dura> purple: Do you use Gaim? If so get a Yahoo ID and come to Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris:1 chat room
[08:38] <give> Ruffles: I think youll get to a tool that does it, when you boot an ubuntu install CD
[08:39] <dura> purple: I will help you there gladly

[08:52] <peppe_> there are a lot of other modules
[08:52] <c|int> already have done it before.. on Breezy and dapper. I just had to say to myself.. eraser entire disk, and only run windows, via vmware.. secure way :)
[08:52] <seven> hello.. how can I give a permission for some user to one file?
[08:52] <tracker1> peppe_, what's your cpu/ram/video card?
[08:52] <Ruffles> peppe_, and u could also try to run the video program from fluxbox and tell whether it works ok
[08:52] <peppe_> (consider that when i was running slackware vlc was working fine with almost all settings)
[08:52] <Pikciurna> why then i try to compile my custom ubuntu kernel it always gives errors during compilation?
[08:52] <c|int> with VMware , Virtual Disk, I don't have to worry about my disk being fragmented, like windows. evne though I have high IT software for that etc.. but still
[08:53] <c|int> my Instructors. were appalled at my projects :)

[08:53] <Eml-> required for MP3 support.
[08:53] <c|int> the only thing I really need to get working , and I Know its very possible, even if I have to use ndiswrapper for now, until I get the pcmcia I want, with 1800 ft. support, Belkin Pre-N or this other model, is my wireless working, and xgl..
[08:54] <Eml-> how do i get rid of that
[08:54] <peppe_> and yes udma2 seems to be active either on hard drive and cdrom drive

[08:54] <Malachi> What's the best way to save a website as a PDF?
[08:54] <PdiddyPaul> I have a question
[08:54] <sachac> Malachi: You can print to a PS file from browsers; that's one way.
[08:54] <sachac> Malachi: Then you can convert the ps to pdf.
[08:54] <Ruffles> Eml-, a terminal and a keyboard
[08:54] <ompaul> seven, chown
[08:55] <Malachi> sachac: Mkay. I think I remember something like that.
[08:55] <Eml-> WHAT do i need to apt-get
[08:55] <c|int> hey Hexidigital.. fyrestrtr, ompaul. hey bud. .are you guys good at getting Wireless interface up and working. with Broadcom, I Know its not a wanted issue, but I Really need it, if possible
[08:55] <tracker1> c|int. if you install ndistools via synaptic, you can get it running fairly easily, just make sure you have the right drivers..
[08:55] <Eml-> to get it go away
[08:55] <Malachi> sachac: It's ps2pdf, right?
[08:55] <ompaul> C|B|, no
[08:55] <PdiddyPaul> when i open synaptic it says that E: dkpg was interupted and needs to manualy run
[08:55] <Ruffles> Eml-, add repositories on synaptic
[08:55] <PdiddyPaul> any ideas how to
[08:55] <ompaul> c|int, no not me
[08:55] <Eml-> Ruffles AND APT-GET WHAT?
[08:55] <seven> ompaul chown ? Only that?
[08:55] <c|int> well, I do have the right 1,s.. that are designed for xp. dang broadcom. grr

[08:55] <Ruffles> u choose what you wanna apt-get
[08:55] <dek_aik> Eml: try libmad0-dev
[08:55] <vgoltser> !dma
[08:55] <ubotu> dma is Direct Memory Access/Addressing.  It makes hard disks run faster,  see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DMA
[08:55] <seven> ompaul and where I put the name of file
[08:56] <tracker1> c|int, that's fine, ndiswrapper uses the xp drivers..
[08:56] <seven> !synaptic
[08:56] <ubotu> synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SynapticHowto

[08:56] <ubotu> I know nothing about int10 - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[08:56] <tracker1> c|int, spent a good part of yesterday getting mine working.. lol
[08:56] <PdiddyPaul> thanks
[08:56] <peppe_> !glx
[08:56] <ubotu> I know nothing about glx - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[08:56] <tracker1> c|int, yeah, should be wlan0.
[08:57] <c|int> oh yeah.. hee. well maybe you can help. because I tried alot. and ndiswrapper too.. when I loaded live cd, told me. bcm43xxx errors. or something like that.. firmware. etc.. but I"m installing alternative cd now
[08:57] <Hexidigital> c|int:: i used the walkthrough in the wiki
[08:57] <c|int> oh. so thats why it wasn't working on.. dapper
[08:57] <c|int> yeah. I been looking good through that. just team support. really good on the subject...
[08:57] <ompaul> seven, as it was written - chown username:username that-file  << username is your users name the : is real and the that-file is the file
[08:57] <franciov> cinzia
[08:57] <Hexidigital> c|int:: you don't need the ndiswrapper if you have bcm43xx-fwcutter
[08:57] <vgoltser> ompaul, any ideas why blank CDs would not be recognised?
[08:58] <xed2> hello one and all
 i had a ubuntu install on a system on some regular 15 gig hdd
 i now stuck in a 300 gig hdd on another IDE channel
 and would like to know what i have to do to get this drive recognized /mounted/formatted ?
[08:58] <Hexidigital> xed2:: edit your /etc/fstab
[08:58] <Hexidigital> !fstab\
[08:58] <ubotu> I know nothing about fstab\ - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[08:58] <Hexidigital> !fstab
[08:58] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file lists all drives and partitions that are mounted on the system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !partitions
[08:58] <ompaul> vgoltser, udev could be having a bad day if it not resolved with a reboot then I point  at the hardware - it mighe be bad
[08:59] <dyn-afk> install gparted or qtparted and try with that program (it's graphical)
[08:59] <[Jonne] > how do you connect to an NFS share in nautilus?
[08:59] <vgoltser> ompaul, hardware is definatly good
[08:59] <c|int> that'd be nice
[08:59] <vgoltser> because it can read CDs ...
[08:59] <c|int> maybe the ac will work better for me :)
[08:59] <vgoltser> Juicer is ripping a music CD that I have
[08:59] <ompaul> vgoltser, I got a hp server brand new 6 weeks ago - we have already thrown out one hard drive due to its misbehaviour
[09:00] <xed2> thanks Hexidigital
[09:00] <vgoltser> ompaul, but it reads CDs fine ...
[09:00] <ompaul> vgoltser, and it is not reading blanks which means something is not the same - maybe out of alignement
[09:01] <c|int> hey Hexidigital. that would be cool maybe you could help me. if I get stuck, or try and walk me through, I"m fast at commands.. etc
[09:01] <ompaul> vgoltser, one is read after burn the other - well that is detect there is a disk there - you could always try some other brand of disk
[09:01] <Pikciurna> why then i try to compile my custom ubuntu kernel it always gives errors during compilation?
[09:01] <vgoltser> hmm
[09:01] <c|int> I have been wanting to get wireless, working on my laptop. since I had recieved it last year from the College, in Beginning of October..

[09:02] <ttyfscker> does anybody know how to get xmms::remote working on ubuntu?
[09:02] <sachac> sebsebseb: You can override your classpath.
[09:02] <WhiteNinja> sebsebseb: try it as "su".. sudo -i will help
[09:02] <[Jonne] > I have an nfs share on one computer, and i want to access it from another computer (both run Ubuntu). How do I open the share from computer 1 on computer 2?
[09:02] <coachJ> my floppy does not show up how do I access it?
[09:02] <sachac> sebsebseb: -classpath or the environment variable CLASSPATH or something like that...
[09:03] <c|int> oh lol
[09:03] <sebsebseb> what's classpath? and what's sudo -i?
[09:03] <c|int> a remote to control the xmms, like infrared?
[09:03] <neutrinomass> sebsebseb: sudo -i will give you the equivalent of a root terminal
[09:03] <Ruffles> coachJ, usually at /media/floppy
[09:03] <stefg> !doesn't work > Pikciurna
[09:03] <disposable_mike> c|int: i've gotten broadcom working with ubuntu before, with ndiswrapper
[09:03] <disposable_mike> c|int: just a big pain in the ass
[09:04] <c|int> well I can use any help given here people. I"m good at alot of other stuff :)
[09:04] <c|int> I dont' really take a liking. to the before. sounds like ya did, but then you took a hammer.. :)
[09:04] <Ace2006> Oh dear god how do i get rid of the fonts that Automatix installed? most of them are useless to me
[09:04] <c|int> I Did too with anto9us, but then I did a dist-ugprade, and lost all the dang settings
[09:04] <c|int> Ace2006:
[09:05] <disposable_mike> c|int: it was for a friend, that tried ubuntu for a week and then reformatted....hence the bitterness :)
[09:05] <Ruffles> Ace2006, there's a howto on how to remove stuff installed by automatix at ubuntu forums
[09:05] <coachJ> ruffles: it does show up
[09:05] <c|int> ah
[09:05] <peppo> to grant a newly added user sudo privileges, is checking "Be able to get administrator privileges" in the GNOME properties for that user _not enough_? I'm not able to sudo with my newly added user.
[09:05] <c|int> well, I erased hard drive.. via. ubcd, got to love it. was going use Winternals or Seagates software, but didn't want ot wait 8 hours :)
[09:05] <Ace2006> Oh and i found this great app for looking choosing fonts, i love it http://www.valinor.sorcery.net/~liam/fonts/linux-font-management.html
[09:05] <neutrinomass> peppo: The user should be in the 'admin' group to be able to use sudo
[09:06] <WhiteNinja> hm... am i in another world? ubuntu works fine for me... without changes.. just out of the box.. since 2 month now *wondering
[09:06] <c|int> once I got vmware installed on ubuntu, I was like yay. and I Know and aware that there is other virtualization software, but my college, supports sthe whole VMware , so I let them buy it for me hee
[09:06] <tracker1> disposable_mike, that sucks... I have a VM for the XP apps I *NEED* but other than that, seems to be great finally.
[09:06] <sebsebseb> I even ran a command that I thought would make it so that the whole folder would belong to me instead of root,  but that didn't work
[09:06] <stefg> peppo: the user needs a relogin before permission changes take effect
[09:06] <peppo> neutrinomass, my friend is a GUI guy... how do I tell him to do that? "Advanced" only seems to allow to set "Main group".
[09:06] <Ruffles> coachJ, can't u access your floppy going through Places / Computer / Floppy ?
[09:06] <coachJ> not there
[09:06] <peppo> stefg, I'm logging in via SSH, and I'm going to build some applications for him
[09:06] <disposable_mike> tracker1: i couldn't agree more, but there was no convincing this particular person....at some point, when you do everything for them, they're not learning anything
[09:06] <xed2> thanks a lot dyn-afk, your advice was a lot smoother than destroying fstab
[09:06] <xed2> ahaha
[09:07] <WhiteNinja> sebsebseb: man chmod.. man chown...
[09:07] <c|int> WhiteNinja: , on a majority of hardware it does, but for proprietary hardware drivers. written only for Windows.. its kind of a pain :), but there is workaround, just have to slap it around a bit
[09:07] <Ruffles> coachJ, u can also go manually, open a terminal and type mount /media/floppy
[09:07] <tracker1> disposable_mike, too true.. got a few clients to switch, they mainly do web/email though, so was easy enough..
[09:07] <sebsebseb> neutrinomass:  let's say I got the root shell using this sudo -i.  then I got to some how replace the jar file with the one I want?
[09:07] <Ruffles> coachJ, then u go to the directory and check whether files are there
[09:07] <tracker1> now that I have a clue with ndiswrapper, and automatix, should be far smoother going in the future.
[09:08] <sebsebseb> WhiteNinja:  I tryed sudo a+w  /usr/share/java thinking that would make the folder belong to me instead of root,  but that didn't do it
[09:08] <peppo> sudo usermod -g users -G admin peppo should suffice, yeah?
[09:08] <c|int> heck, should of seen me reconfiguring.. xorg.conf , for my lapto on .. debian testing/unstable, then I had to manaully edit xorg.conf .. then dpkg-reconfigure wouldn't write configs no more, and I didn't want the hassle of.. taking it outk and putting it back in.. because all that, just to get, 1280x800 on my Acer ASpire 3610 ;)
[09:08] <peppo> to allow "peppo" to use sudo?
[09:08] <lmh> hi all
[09:08] <neutrinomass> peppo: System->Administration->Users and Groups. Hit the Groups tab, select 'admin' and hit 'properties' . add the user from there ...
[09:08] <coachJ> ruffles: it doesnt show maybe it dead
[09:08] <dyn-afk> np xed2
[09:08] <WhiteNinja> sebsebseb: y... try to install mc (a version of midnight commander, using x11)... then u can do all what u want (edit, copy, move ) if that is, what u want
[09:09] <c|int> is there a better way to edit services, and run levels on ubuntu, without using sysv-rc-conf , or bum. and more powerful?
[09:09] <Ruffles> coachJ, have you mounted the drive?
[09:09] <lmh> i have installed ubuntu server dapper drake (6.0.6), ubuntu installed lilo instead of grub as a bootloader.
[09:09] <lmh> is there a way to switch to grub?
[09:09] <fyrestrtr> c|int: update-rc.d
[09:09] <coachJ> mount /media/floppy like this
[09:09] <knapper_> What is the best way to convert from ubuntu to xubuntu on my laptop?
[09:09] <c|int> and without,, going and renaming from.. what was it.. K to k
[09:09] <lmh> my boot-partition is XFS, would that be a prob for grub=?
[09:09] <c|int> knapper, I believe the commands would be
[09:09] <Ruffles> knapper_, apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[09:09] <sebsebseb> WhiteNinja:  and replace files?   what's that Midnight  Commander thing.  and is it in Synaptec?
[09:09] <c|int> sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[09:09] <disposable_mike> knapper_: apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop, apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[09:10] <coachJ> Ruffles: like this mount /media/floppy
[09:10] <peppo> neutrinomass, thanks
[09:10] <WhiteNinja> y.. u can do it even from the console.. without starting x11
[09:10] <Ruffles> coachJ, yeah but remember u gotta get root permissions
[09:10] <c|int> then once you boot up in xubuntu. or when boot up.. do recovery, and do a.. apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop
[09:10] <knapper_> k thanks
[09:10] <neutrinomass> peppo: Happy to be able to help :)
[09:10] <WhiteNinja> just try.. apt-get install mc
[09:10] <sebsebseb> ok
[09:10] <lmh> anybody an idea?
[09:10] <c|int> I believe thats right. eh guys :)
[09:11] <c|int> oh okay. thanks fyrestrtr
[09:11] <lmh> i need grub to boot my new xen-kernel, i don't know if lilo can do that.
[09:11] <peppo> neutrinomass, the user was already in the admin group
[09:11] <Eric__> Hi i have installed ubuntu server dapper drake (6.0.6) on a via epia ml8000 board. how is it possible to switch the cpu in a throttle level?
[09:11] <Ninnghizidha> Hello! How do i disalbe the black borders, that appear, when a start a new application?
[09:11] <jackn> Hi.
[09:12] <jackn> Am in deep trouble
[09:12] <neutrinomass> peppo: Then they should be able to use sudo (unless your friend did an expert install which does not configure sudo)
[09:12] <c|int> yes?
[09:12] <jackn> OK.
[09:12] <jackn> Changed /etc/sudoers permissions.
[09:12] <c|int> feds? or smaller trouble :)
[09:12] <neutrinomass> peppo: What's the error when the user does 'sudo test' /.
[09:12] <jackn> Foolish, I realize.
[09:12] <lmh> anybody here who knows lilo a bit?
[09:12] <jackn> But now it won't allow me to use sudo.
[09:12] <peppo> neutrinomass, "Sorry, try again."
[09:12] <c|int> I think you can just rewrite the settings
[09:12] <neutrinomass> jackn: You should always edit that with visudo :P You've been told to in the file's comments
[09:13] <jackn> It keep saying
[09:13] <ttyfscker> does anybody know how to get xmms::remote working on ubuntu?
[09:13] <c|int> I"m guessing. just yank out. sudo , and reinstall it..
[09:13] <neutrinomass> peppo: Is your friend typing the password correctly :P ? Caps lock ?
[09:13] <jackn> That the permissions are wrong.
[09:13] <peppo> I'm the one typing it. talking to him right now; I have the right password
[09:13] <c|int> make sure to create root accoutn. hrm
[09:13] <peppo> neutrinomass, user is in admin, I've re-logged in... no go still
[09:13] <wept> trying to apt-get install linux-image-2.6.15-26-server in dapper and im getting an error "The following packages cannot be authenticated!"  ..  this seems wrong.
[09:13] <jackn> The terminal keeps saying
[09:13] <wept> i have no non-ubuntu sources
[09:13] <jackn> jackn@Phoenix:~$ sudo chmod u-w /etc/sudoers
[09:13] <jackn> sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0640, should be 0440
[09:13] <neutrinomass> jackn: Well maybe it had a point. Anyway, you can probably fix it by booting into the rescue mode from the grub menu - it wil drop you to a terminal with root privilleges...
[09:14] <c|int> wept:
[09:14] <interfear> how do i add a shortcut to a parition i made which is mounted as "/dump" to the desktop as an icon? i cant seem to find how to do it in gnome
[09:14] <interfear> something so simple
[09:14] <c|int> what version of ubuntu are you using
[09:14] <interfear> lol
[09:14] <sebsebseb> WhiteNinja:  ok just installed MC and ran it.  it looks a bit uhmmmm weird type program,  but good.  of course not sure how to use it.  so tell me :) please
[09:14] <jackn> Thanks neutrino.
[09:14] <neutrinomass> jackn: Well if it's messed up, then sudo is messed up and you can't change the permissions of sudoers because you have to be sudo to do so ...
[09:14] <ttyfscker> jackn:: chmod 440 /etc/sudoers
[09:14] <sri_> can any one tell how to play .ra formats...?
[09:14] <jackn> Is it silly to try to become root
[09:14] <Ruffles> interfear, right click on desktop and create launcher
[09:14] <jackn> Precisely tty, it won't accept any sudo
[09:14] <c|int> dang, watching this channel, is like watching. the New York Stock Exchange
[09:14] <neutrinomass> peppo: Sorry, I don't know then. Maybe you have to relogin ?
[09:14] <jackn> look at this
[09:15] <InnerFIRE> what do i use to check my mail even while evolution is closed?
[09:15] <sri_> what is the player to be installed to play .ra formats.........?
[09:15] <c|int> 8-)
[09:15] <jackn> jackn@Phoenix:~$ sudo chmod u-w /etc/sudoers..... sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0640, should be 0440
[09:15] <regeya> clint I've seen worse
[09:15] <peppo> neutrinomass, tried that many times. he just tried himself, he can sudo
[09:15] <tracker1> silly question, I have a theme I downloaded, how do I install it?  it gives me an invalid format error on the .xml file in the dir.
[09:15] <ttyfscker> jackn:: issue this:  chmod 660 /etc/sudoers
[09:15] <wept> c|int: dapper
[09:15] <neutrinomass> peppo: No idea then :-/ sounds weird though ...
[09:15] <WhiteNinja> sebsebseb: u are able to type "F1" inside mc???? thats usually a hint for having help for "each" software
[09:15] <c|int> did you try a.. .  sudo apt-get update first
[09:15] <ttyfscker> you cant sudo though right?
[09:16] <c|int> yeah, and you can always.. sudo su -
[09:16] <c|int> that will change you over to root user
[09:16] <wept> c|int: yup..  thats how im getting the upgrade
[09:16] <sri_> tracker1, hi!then just go to the themes then tere is an option install try it
[09:16] <c|int> if you absolutely have too :)
[09:16] <jackn> OK am trying tty, be back in a sec. wait a minute don't you mean 0440?
[09:16] <jackn> That's what it's asking for.
[09:16] <sri_> what is the player to be installed to play .ra formats.......?
[09:16] <ttyfscker> jackn:: the leading 0 isnt necessary thats for the sguid
[09:17] <jackn> It *was* 0440
[09:17] <tracker1> sri_, did that, gives me an "invalid format" error.. shrug..
[09:17] <c|int> maybe theres a network issue, or you can ask the experts, I'm not really inclined yet on kernels, however I am reading Understanding the LInux kernel, by O'Reilly
[09:17] <tracker1> what file am I supposed to select in the folder?
[09:17] <jackn> OK tty, but is it 660?
[09:17] <sri_> tracker1, u untar it?
[09:17] <Ruffles> sri_, realplayer?
[09:17] <jackn> isn't it 440?
[09:17] <tracker1> sri_yeah.
[09:17] <sri_> Ruffles, 1m
[09:17] <ttyfscker> jackn::  chmod 440 will set it to read write for root and group only
[09:17] <stefg> peppo: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_SSH_Server_for_remote_administration_service
[09:17] <lmh> hi all. need to add a new kernel to my lilo-config (XEN-Kernel), but can't figure out how to do that, because the initrd.img - file seems missing for my new kernel
[09:18] <lmh> i installed a precompiled-xen - kernel
[09:18] <sri_> Ruffles, no it can't play..
[09:18] <peppo> stefg, I was using SSH. I logged in as his own user instead
[09:18] <lmh> this one: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/downloads/xen-3.0.2-install-x86_64.tgz
[09:18] <ttyfscker> 440 will set it to read only actually  660 will set it to read and write
[09:18] <Ruffles> sri_, i guess mplayer will do the job
[09:18] <peppo> a newly added user doesn't seem to want to work with sudo
[09:18] <lmh> it left me with those files in my boot-dir:  vmlinuz-2.6.16-xen, xen-3.0.2.gz, System.map-2.6.16-xen, config-2.6.16-xen
[09:18] <aeQu`> how can I let my dsl-provider connection stay alive? It gets disconnected randomly :(
[09:18] <tracker1> sri_, yeah.. I untar'd it, still not going through..
[09:18] <lmh> but no initrd.img - xen
[09:18] <jackn> OK, but asking for user w is how I got into hot water in the first place.
[09:18] <sri_> Ruffles, 1m
[09:18] <Ruffles> sri_, u gotta install w32codecs i guess
[09:18] <ttyfscker> jackn:: you have the sudoer file set to read only is what it sounds like
[09:18] <Ruffles> sri_, 'cuz .ra seems to be proprietary
[09:18] <tracker1> sri_, easiest way for w32codecs is via Automatix..
[09:18] <jackn> Am trying chmod 440 /etc/sudoers, what do u think?
[09:18] <sri_> Ruffles, ya i have installed w32 codeecs
[09:19] <Ruffles> yeah sri_ automatix is a nice solution
[09:19] <ttyfscker> jackn:: chmod 660 /etc/sudoers
[09:19] <sebsebseb> WhiteNinja:  that brought up the Gnome Terminal manual
[09:19] <martin__> hi ther
[09:19] <martin__> e
[09:19] <fyrestrtr> jackn: don't do that.
[09:19] <c|int> the best thing, I guess we can tell windows users is.. learn python. and how to program in C for linux :)
[09:19] <sri_> tracker1, ya;u just go to the themes
[09:19] <jackn> what then fyr
[09:19] <sri_> tracker1, ok?
[09:19] <jackn> am quite worried...
[09:19] <martin__> I've just installed ubuntu breezy, and I have a nvidia go 420 32MB-graphics card, how can I know what driver I need?
[09:19] <WhiteNinja> sebsebseb: then use ur mouse... click on the f1 tab... *sigh
[09:20] <sebsebseb> clint:  except most computer users don't want to learn how to program
[09:20] <ttyfscker> fyrestrtr:: he needs it to read/write for root otherwise he wont be able to make any changes to it
[09:20] <c|int> MarcC: ,
[09:20] <fyrestrtr> no, no, no.
[09:20] <c|int> martibs:
[09:20] <jackn> repeat terminal's message
[09:20] <ttyfscker> fyrestrtr:: 440 will make it read only
[09:20] <fyrestrtr> never, ever, mess with the /etc/sudoers file.
[09:20] <c|int> martin, I believe the command is like.. sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx ndivida-settings
[09:20] <MarcC> phew, I thought I made a friend for a sec
[09:20] <aeQu`> how can I let my dsl-provider connection stay alive? It gets disconnected randomly :( I had to configure it with pppoeconf, but it seems it drops out. And I can't blame the ISP cause it did fine in XP
[09:20] <jackn> sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0640, should be 0440
[09:20] <c|int> then you have to enable the nvidia driver
[09:20] <sri_> tracker1, then there is an option "+install theme" click on it
[09:20] <Ruffles> c|int, you're askin' too much for windows users lol
[09:20] <fyrestrtr> unless of course, there is compelling reason too, normally, you should never touch it.
[09:20] <c|int> hee
[09:20] <anguiano> If you get the permissions wrong, sudo will tell you.
[09:21] <ttyfscker> fyrestrtr:: thats not good advice, if its a multiuser system that needs sudo perms to other users besides the default
[09:21] <anguiano> when you try and use it later.
[09:21] <sri_> tracker1, then give the path of that folder;with out untaring it
[09:21] <jackn> fyr, OK, but made the mistake, bad mistake.
[09:21] <jackn> fyr what now?
[09:21] <fyrestrtr> ttyfscker: just add them to the admin group
[09:21] <sebsebseb> WhiteNinja:  oh yeah my bad.  I didn't look at it properlly before asking you for help
[09:21] <c|int> installing. wine.. or get into.. CodeWeaversCrossOVer, or hack the Windows API's ;)
[09:21] <sri_> tracker1, trying ??
[09:21] <fyrestrtr> and when you are editing /etc/sudoers, you don't change the permissions on the file, that will cause you problems down the road. Use sudo and visudoers
[09:21] <tracker1> okay, works without the untar
[09:22] <jackn> right, don't know what got into me, it was thoughtless
[09:22] <c|int> nah, people dont' use Windows.. Windows uses them :P
[09:22] <jackn> I've only been with Linux for 2 months.
[09:22] <asparagui> i have a 386 disk sitting here...will i cause a warp in the space time continuium if i use it to install on an amd64 machine?
[09:22] <lmh> everytime i try to run lilo with my new xen-kernel - conf, i get this error:
[09:22] <PunkSkaDJP> zing!
[09:22] <aeQu`> hm, quick question, how do you search for a specific file thro command line?
[09:22] <lmh> Warning: '/proc/partitions' does not match '/dev' directory structure. Name change: '/dev/dm-0' -> '/dev/evms/hda1' Fatal: Kernel /vmlinuz-xen is too big
[09:22] <aeQu`> nvm, I'll look it up
[09:22] <jackn> should I become root?
[09:22] <martin__> is it really nessesary to enable universe and multiverse, just to get nvidia-drivers? Is it safe to do so?
[09:22] <WhiteNinja> sebsebseb: just for completing the suggestions... u are able to start mc as "root", too... so u can do everything with it.. just open a terminal.. type sudo -i.. and then when u r root, mc
[09:22] <fyrestrtr> asparagui: nope, you need a bald headed captain and a robot android for that.
[09:22] <sri_> tracker1, what are the formats be played by automatrix??
[09:23] <c|int> sri
[09:23] <c|int> install easyubuntu
[09:23] <sri_> sorry automatics
[09:23] <asparagui> roger.
[09:23] <ttyfscker> jackn:: i think that it must be some kind of ubuntu specific thing.. me being more use to debian, we dont follow those rules about never changing sudoers, and we dont get problems when root has permission to write changes to it..
[09:23] <jackn> can't do that either, bcs no sudo command available
[09:23] <GaiaX11> How can I accent words in konversation irc?
[09:23] <fyrestrtr> martin__: You don't need to, if you get the nvidia drivers from the website (nvidia.com)
[09:23] <fyrestrtr> martin__: for all others, I believe you do.
[09:23] <ttyfscker> jackn:: what did you do to get in this mess anyway?
[09:24] <c|int> and theres a nice book, I was checking out at Barnes & NObles, I got some of them.. Hacking the LINux Desktop. and Multimedia LINux hacks lOL
[09:24] <tracker1> sri_, I can play, avi (various encodings) as well as wmv.. haven't got a mkv to try.. but everything I've thrown at it, including mov.
[09:24] <bobbyd> hi, is it possible to get kpdf to work inside firefox?

[09:24] <jackn> wanted to allow no password shutdown
[09:24] <c|int> Opera I know will do it fo ryou :)
[09:25] <ttyfscker> jackn:: that wouldnt have allowed a no password shut down anyway
[09:25] <sri_> tracker1, but it can play .ra format..?It is the first time to here this format
[09:25] <ttyfscker> jackn::  so now you cant sudo period?
[09:25] <martin__> how do I know if I need driver 7174?

[09:41] <jrib> bl3ssing: in dapper, firefox is version 1.5.0.4.  Do you want to upgrade to dapper instead?
[09:41] <jackn> clint here is the result
[09:41] <bl3ssing> i am just opening the explorer windows (of course, it is not win explorer, but linux explorer ... and ...
[09:41] <konfuzed> sebsebseb, hey just to note , elisabeth happens to be a guy. so there's even less of those linux users out there I suppose
[09:42] <Hatake> mug, are you sure you're listing multiverse in there and not universe?
[09:42] <jackn> clintjackn@Phoenix:~$ whoami
[09:42] <jackn> jackn
[09:42] <jackn> jackn@Phoenix:~$ sudo chmod u-w /etc/sudoers
[09:42] <jackn> sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0640, should be 0440
[09:42] <sebsebseb> konfuzed:  oh that sucks.  Elizabeth if it was a girl.
[09:42] <jackn> clint i'm my user and it won't allow to use sudo period
[09:42] <the_mug> Hatake: whent I apt-get update it's listed
[09:42] <jrib> jackn: su to root or reboot in recovery mode
[09:42] <c|int> okay.. your not root yet
[09:42] <jackn> clint and i need sudo to get out of this catch...
[09:42] <c|int> try this command,,,   su -
[09:42] <jackn> clint hey i am giving a good time at least
[09:42] <bl3ssing> jrib, , where can i find this dapper?
[09:43] <bl3ssing> and what's this dapper?
[09:43] <bl3ssing> it is an internet explorer?
[09:43] <jackn> jrib thanks what's recovery like
[09:43] <bl3ssing> browser'
[09:43] <c|int> hee. you should of seen me, trying to configure, VMware on linux

[09:43] <bl3ssing> how should I update?
[09:43] <jrib> !upgrade > bl3ssing
[09:43] <bl3ssing> if ... it is the case?:)
[09:43] <bobbyw> the_mug: no, let me try that now
[09:44] <jackn> jrib chmod u-w /etc/sudoers? is taht it
[09:44] <jrib> jackn: choose 'recover mode' from the grub menu.  That will give you a root prompt.  Then just 'chmod 440 /etc/sudoers'
[09:44] <c|int> okay do
[09:44] <c|int> sudo su -
[09:44] <jrib> jackn: your command will work too
[09:44] <bobbyw> the_mug: yes, actually I have. that's how I reenabled the connection everytime I start up, but everytime I restart it's disabled again
[09:44] <jackn> jrib thanks a bunch am going to try
[09:44] <c|int> switching to root user in ubuntu, is not going to work with su - or su my bad, you have to do. sudo su -, you cold add it later if you watned though, but not recommend by.. eh eh. ubuntu devs
[09:45] <jackn> snd then just restart i guess?

[09:50] <the_mug> [Ex0r] : nope but hopefully AMD buying them out... you soon will have open-source drivers :-)
[09:50] <konfuzed> so does the same apply to 64bit ubuntu as that's what elisabeth is running and she cant get the printer to work with cups

[09:52] <crimsun> fDErn: I have that chipset; it works brilliantly (for values of 'crappy on-board sound')
[09:52] <[Ex0r] > jrib- already installed all that stuff, still don't get any video or anything

[09:53] <Devlyn> i need help with wireless internet in dapper. i can't connect to internet at all
[09:53] <fDErn> Crimsum: I am using alsa and cant hear anything through the speakers..
[09:53] <fDErn> Any advice?
[09:53] <crimsun> fDErn: paste the output from ``amixer'' onto http://pastebin.ca
[09:53] <sebsebseb> Devlyn:  you got a new PC with wireless already set up?  or you using an old PC that uses a wireless card?
[09:53] <MarcC> anybody know what it means when the gkrellm duck swims upside-down?
[09:53] <jrib> [Ex0r] : what player are you using?
[09:54] <Devlyn> this PC that obviously has wireless working
[09:54] <[Ex0r] > jrib- Movie Playe
[09:54] <Drakeson> what does db_get do ?
[09:54] <[Ex0r] > Movie Player**
[09:54] <dv_> hi
[09:54] <m3talc0re> oh come on, this is rediculous
[09:54] <sebsebseb> Devlyn:  with old PC's  wireless has to be set up with a wireless card.  with new computers they already have wireless hardware bult in
[09:54] <sebsebseb> which is yours?
[09:54] <m3talc0re> just fuckin' ignore like last night
[09:54] <jrib> [Ex0r] : right click on your avi file, click on properties, then the "audio/video" tab.  What codec does it use?
[09:54] <fDErn> ok
[09:55] <aeQu`> arghf
[09:55] <jrib> !patience > m3talc0re
[09:55] <dooglus> Devlyn: you can run ubuntu inside vmware in windows.  then your wireless will work.
[09:55] <pmorrison> If anyone can help: I just tried to do an update with the update manager in the system menu.  It said I have a broken package, or maybee dependency and that I need to run synaptic or apt-get install -f...  I prefer apt-get so I ran "sudo apt-get install -f" but I'm getting the error message "dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libgpod0_0.3.2-0ubuntu1_i386.deb (--unpack): trying to...
[09:55] <pmorrison> ...overwrite `/usr/lib/libgpod.so.0', which is also in package libgpod" Can anyone help me fix this? I'm somewhere between a noob and average user.
[09:55] <[Ex0r] > jrib- dunno, don't have any right now
[09:55] <m3talc0re> jrib, i asked and waited all last night and never got an answer
[09:55] <m3talc0re> i've run out of patience
[09:55] <jrib> m3talc0re: it's possible that no one knows the answer
[09:55] <sebsebseb> dooglus:  lol  hi there I know why you said that.  what you doing here?
[09:55] <fDErn> Crimsum: Done..
[09:55] <dooglus> I'm always here
[09:55] <sebsebseb> ok Chris
[09:56] <dv_> a question: when I watch a video in kaffeine, and save a file in an editor, the video hangs for a sec. looks as if while saving, the videoplayer is suspended. the same happens if I switch desktops, and the editor contents are redrawn. I suppose I can solve this by modifying kaffeines priority, but how do I do this?
[09:56] <jrib> m3talc0re: how are you trying to access your login window settings?
[09:56] <dv_> I am using the xine engine
[09:56] <bellerophon> hmmmm
[09:56] <m3talc0re> system>administration>login window
[09:56] <Devlyn> dooglus: how would i do that?
[09:56] <sebsebseb> Devlyn:  Does your wireless need a WEP key?
[09:56] <jrib> [Ex0r] : can you find a file that isn't working and then check the codec for me?
[09:56] <Devlyn> yes.. i set WEP key in network settings
[09:56] <m3talc0re> i forgot what to type in the terminal, but i did last night and it told me it couldn't access it or something
[09:56] <[Ex0r] > jrib- hmm, now it's working
[09:56] <jrib> m3talc0re: can you open synaptic?
[09:56] <aeQu`> stefg: could It be that something tries to reconnect dsl-provider once in a while? cause it's only firefox that drops out something, so I thinkg it might have 2 connections running, so that it's confused
[09:57] <jrib> [Ex0r] : ok, that's good... :)
[09:57] <dooglus> m3talc0re: what's the problem?
[09:57] <Jakubek> :>
[09:57] <Hatake> anyone point me to .deb for gimpshop?
[09:57] <sebsebseb> Devlyn:  you sure the WEP key is correct?
[09:57] <m3talc0re> yes, i can open synaptic
[09:57] <Devlyn> very
[09:57] <pmorrison> If anyone can help: I just tried to do an update with the update manager in the system menu.

[09:57] <sebsebseb> and you set your wireless up as hexadecimal or the other one?
[09:57] <Hatake> anyone point me to .deb for gimpshop?
[09:57] <Devlyn> hexa.. yes
[09:58] <sebsebseb> and your computer is how old?
[09:58] <gnomefreak> Hatake: there isnt one
[09:58] <fDErn> Crimsum: You have a look at the output?
[09:58] <jrib> m3talc0re: gksudo gdmsetup, is that the same?
[09:58] <Devlyn> 2 years?
[09:58] <stefg> aeQu`: i can't really tell, my dsl-connection never ever gave me any trouble in ubuntu, so i didn't have the opportunity to practice my troubleshooting skills
[09:58] <Hatake> lame
[09:58] <Devlyn> the wireless card works in windows..
[09:58] <gnomefreak> Hatake: check the gimpshop home page they have older version for debian iirc
[09:58] <dv_> hmm, ok, seems to be xine-specific.
[09:58] <erUSUL> !wifi > Devlyn
[09:58] <m3talc0re> lemme type that real quick
[09:59] <dv_> the issue does not occur with the mplayer engine
[09:59] <Devlyn> omfg. i've gone to the damn wifi page.
[09:59] <gnomefreak> Hatake: they might have updated it since i was there last
[09:59] <erUSUL> Devlyn: which card/chipset do you have?
[09:59] <Devlyn> stop posting it
[09:59] <rambo3> Devlyn, ending sentences with "works in windows" wont help you here that much
[09:59] <sebsebseb> Devlyn:  ok so your comp has that already built in wireless hardware then?
[09:59] <Devlyn> ...so its at least functional :)
[09:59] <Devlyn> ... and supported by the router
[09:59] <Hatake> they point to one at linux.suramya.com/tutorials/Install_GIMPShop/
[10:00] <Hatake> but my corp firewall won't let me to there
[10:00] <m3talc0re> jrib: here's what i get when i type that
[10:00] <fDErn> sound problems
[10:00] <Hatake> the google cache of it has a link at the bottom but i can't go to that either
[10:00] <dooglus> Hatake: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1226624&postcount=28
[10:00] <sebsebseb> Devlyn:  certain wirelesses are a nightmare to get working with Linux if they wil work at all
[10:00] <Devlyn> Texas Instruments 802.11g
[10:00] <m3talc0re> Failed to connect to socket, sleep 1 second and retry
[10:00] <m3talc0re> Trying failed command again.
[10:00] <m3talc0re> does that five times
[10:00] <rambo3> Devlyn, whats the chipset on you wifi
[10:00] <m3talc0re> then says "Could not access GDM configuration file.
[10:01] <m3talc0re> "
[10:01] <sebsebseb> dooglus:  maybe your getting it to use Windows wireless will help him
[10:01] <erUSUL> Devlyn: those work with native driver acx
[10:01] <sebsebseb> suggestion
[10:01] <sebsebseb> !wireless
[10:01] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[10:01] <jrib> m3talc0re: does /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf exist?

[10:02] <dooglus> sebsebseb: sorry, I was only joking about the ubuntu-in-vmware-in-windows 'solution'.  what he should really do of course is buy a wired ethernet card :)
[10:02] <m3talc0re> lemme look
[10:02] <help-the-n00b> Hello.
[10:02] <Devlyn> yeah. its actually an airlink 54
[10:02] <sebsebseb> dooglus:  lol  I know why your saying that since your on my MSN,  Google,  and ICQ and what happended last time when I tryed to help with Wireless here
[10:02] <fDErn> anyone have issues with sound with dapper on a notebook?
[10:03] <pmorrison> I guess everyone's busy trying to fix an aircard that's not going to work... I'll try posting my problem on the forums.
[10:03] <m3talc0re> jrib: yeah, it exists
[10:03] <jrib> m3talc0re: what are the permissions?
[10:03] <Devlyn> i have a wired ethernet card.
[10:03] <Devlyn> its not built in.
[10:03] <SilentJ> Hello, Can someone Please help me? I am having a LOAD of problems with Ubuntu :)
[10:03] <sebsebseb> your comp is a PC or lap top?
[10:03] <Devlyn> pc
[10:03] <m3talc0re> -rw-r-r--
[10:04] <rambo3> SilentJ, just ask here
[10:04] <cr3> where can I specify X options when starting gdm?
[10:04] <sebsebseb> well then might as well get it hard wired
[10:04] <m3talc0re> says i'm not the owner so i can't change the permissions
[10:04] <cypher1> !ask > SilentJ
[10:04] <fDErn> laptop..
[10:04] <jrib> m3talc0re: that's fine, that's what it is here
[10:04] <Devlyn> hard wired?
[10:04] <anonymeee1> i just installed ubuntu
[10:04] <anonymeee1> pretty nice
[10:04] <sebsebseb> Devlyn:  or you could have Linux in Windows and it will use Windows to connect,  but your probably better off just getting it hard wired
[10:05] <anonymeee1> is there a way to make it boot up in kde instead though?
[10:05] <sebsebseb> Devlyn:  yes so you have a cable that goes to your Internet connection
[10:05] <jrib> m3talc0re: how about... /etc/gdm/gdm.conf
[10:05] <rexykik> is there any way to install dapper in a terminal environment like Breezy, without having to boot up kde?
[10:05] <jrib> !kde > anonymeee1
[10:05] <SilentJ> I had just downloaded the 6.06 server cd and I install it and it installs fine, but the problem is there is nothing but command line. No Gnome No nothing. I spent about 8 hours yesterday trying to get it to work
[10:05] <rambo3> anonymeee1, you need kde-desktop
[10:05] <sebsebseb> anonymeee1:  yes you can install Kubuntu
[10:05] <dooglus> jrib: sounds like gdm isn't running.  get him to look for the process
[10:05] <hypnox> rexykik find out about apt-get
[10:05] <anonymeee1> where do I enter that command?
[10:05] <gnomefreak> anonymeee1: install kubuntu-desktop
[10:05] <jrib> dooglus: ah
[10:05] <jrib> thank you
[10:05] <Devlyn> how do i run linux in windows?
[10:05] <m3talc0re> yeah, it's there too
[10:05] <rexykik> ah, okay. I wasn't sure if there was an easier route.
[10:05] <dooglus> jrib: I got that error message earlier today when I tried running gdmflexiserver when gdm wasn't running
[10:05] <erUSUL> SilentJ: servers do not need an x server. install ubuntu-desktop
[10:06] <Devlyn> using the same box at least.
[10:06] <m3talc0re> same permissions
[10:06] <rambo3> anonymeee1, open ubuntu wiki and search synaptic
[10:06] <m3talc0re> -rw-r-r--
[10:06] <SilentJ> I downloaded the Desktop CD as well
[10:06] <jrib> m3talc0re: k, as dooglus suggested: ps -ef | grep gdm
[10:06] <fDErn> Devlyn: use pear pc or vmware
[10:06] <fDErn> ;)
[10:06] <SilentJ> and it dosent do anything
[10:06] <sebsebseb> rexykik:  you want to be able to run Gnome and KDE at same time?
[10:06] <dooglus> jrib: maybe he's using kdm?
[10:06] <anonymeee1> gnomefreak: how do I do that?
[10:06] <m3talc0re> i type that in terminal?
[10:06] <rexykik> neg, seb
[10:06] <SilentJ> the Desktop is the :live cd right?
[10:06] <gnomefreak> anonymeee1: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[10:06] <gnomefreak> SilentJ: yes
[10:06] <jrib> m3talc0re: yeah, see what it ouputs
[10:06] <rexykik> sebsebseb, i want to install ubuntu without having to open kde from the boot cd.
[10:06] <jrib> dooglus: I'll check for that next
[10:07] <SilentJ> ok I dont want a Live CD I want to install it to my HD
[10:07] <anonymeee1> ok I'll try that, thank you!
[10:07] <rexykik> such as how you would download just the install cd for breezy, but dapper doesn't have something like that
[10:07] <SilentJ> I dont have that option with the Desktop CD it just dies
[10:07] <SilentJ> dosent do anything
[10:07] <sebsebseb> Devlyn:  download and install  VMware server in Windows.  http://www.vmware.com/products/sever
[10:07] <gnomefreak> alternative cd SilentJ but live also installs now
[10:07] <m3talc0re> 1000     31860 31834  0 15:07 pts/0    00:00:00 grep gdm
[10:07] <sebsebseb> Devlyn:  then set up a Ubuntu in a virtual machine or whatever Linux you want to run
[10:07] <MarcC> anyone know why nvidia breaks every time I try booting into a new kernel?
[10:07] <fDErn> Devlyn: PearPc is free
[10:07] <jrib> m3talc0re: ok, did you ever install kubuntu? or maybe xubuntu?
[10:07] <rexykik> SilentJ, if you can't see the install executable on your desktop look through the menus
[10:07] <m3talc0re> lol, both
[10:07] <SilentJ> gnomefreak the ulternate CD is the Server CD right?! That is why I spent 8 hours downloading it yesterday
[10:07] <jackn> jrib All's well that ends well
[10:08] <sebsebseb> Devlyn:  VMware server is better than PearPC
[10:08] <jrib> m3talc0re: and did you choose to use kdm possibly?
[10:08] <jackn> jrib am very grateful
[10:08] <jrib> jackn: great, np
[10:08] <fDErn> Vmware you have to pay for and its very heavy..
[10:08] <m3talc0re> well
[10:08] <jackn> nie
[10:08] <SilentJ> so there is no gnome on the Server CD?
[10:08] <gnomefreak> no SilentJ server cd is server cd desktop cd is the live and alternative is the normal one you are used to from past ubuntu/debian distros
[10:08] <jackn> jrib goodnite i mean
[10:08] <m3talc0re> when i start up, for some reason, i can't get the login screen to be ubuntu's anymore
[10:08] <SilentJ> Thats friggin stupid
[10:08] <fDErn> albeit a great piece of software..
[10:08] <jrib> jackn: night
[10:08] <m3talc0re> it stays as Kubuntu's
[10:08] <sebsebseb> fDErn:  no VMware has two free versions.  VMware player and VMware server
[10:08] <gnomefreak> SilentJ: no gui at all on server but it can always be installed after
[10:08] <m3talc0re> but i just choose GNOME int he sessions
[10:08] <dooglus> rexykik: to install dapper without booting X, use the 'alternate' CD instead of the 'desktop' CD
[10:09] <jrib> m3talc0re: do you want to use gdm instead?
[10:09] <rexykik> ah, thanks dooglus
[10:09] <m3talc0re> yeah
[10:09] <m3talc0re> i want the login screen to be ubuntu's
[10:09] <SilentJ> ok, I have a 5.10 disk but I have a hell of a time installing it
[10:09] <m3talc0re> gdm
[10:09] <jrib> m3talc0re: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[10:09] <keldon> SilentJ: what do you want with a GUI on a server?
[10:09] <SilentJ> sometimes it crashes at "installing Bace system" about 74% threw
[10:09] <sebsebseb> SlientJ:  5.10  is Breezy so screw that and get yourself a Dapper disk :)
[10:09] <dooglus> rexykik: 'alternate' is what used to be the regular install disk, and 'desktop' is what used to be called 'live'.  'live' got the facility to do an install in dapper, you see...
[10:09] <SilentJ> I have a dapper disk it dosent work
[10:10] <Devlyn> la la la
[10:10] <SilentJ> It crashes from the start
[10:10] <sebsebseb> what PC you  trying to run on?  I Mean when it comes to hardware and how old it is
[10:10] <SilentJ> i click "run or install
[10:10] <SilentJ> and it locks up
[10:10] <m3talc0re> i guess i gotta logout huh?
[10:10] <Devlyn> what exactly does VMware do?
[10:10] <SilentJ> I am on a Dell laptop
[10:10] <SilentJ> 9300 its a new machine
[10:10] <sebsebseb> Devlyn:  it's lets you run more than one operating system at the same time
[10:11] <Devlyn> amazing.
[10:11] <fDErn> It allows you to build and run a os within your windows environment
[10:11] <lmh> hi all
[10:11] <rexykik> so thats what happened. I thought the alternative was just a way to do mass system installs
[10:11] <jrib> m3talc0re: easiest way is to reboot, you may be able to kill kdm and start gdm, but I'm not sure how well that will workout
[10:11] <rexykik> thank you for the distinction
[10:11] <biberao> hello
[10:11] <biberao> any of you
[10:11] <fDErn> Its a VIRUTAL environment however, it has all the capabilities of a full blown os..
[10:11] <biberao> got a wl-530g?
[10:11] <m3talc0re> would rather try not to reboot
[10:11] <lmh> i have a big problem: grub-install does not tell me anything, freezes
[10:11] <SilentJ> So, does anyone have any idea why my CD wont boot?
[10:11] <Devlyn> so does VMware run inside XP? or does XP run inside VMware?
[10:11] <lmh> i tried to switch from lilo to grub
[10:11] <m3talc0re> it takes too long, the emachine boot screen stays up forever :/
[10:11] <SilentJ> I get this really nice flash screen
[10:11] <cypher1> rexykik,  i guess alternate is also used for upgradation also
[10:12] <fDErn> Runs within XP.
[10:12] <m3talc0re> i hate this computer
[10:12] <sebsebseb> Devlyn:  VMware will run in  Windows or Linux
[10:12] <fDErn> Its a piece of software..
[10:12] <SilentJ> then i click "install or load" and thats it
[10:12] <lmh> apt-get --purge remove lilo && apt-get install grub
[10:12] <Devlyn> so if i were planning on doing a clean install of XP, i should do it before installing VMware?
[10:12] <sebsebseb> well yeah
[10:12] <sebsebseb> if your going to have
[10:12] <jrib> m3talc0re: does /etc/init.d/kdm exist?
[10:12] <fDErn> Ofcourse..
[10:12] <sebsebseb> VMware in XP
[10:12] <lmh> anybody an idea?
[10:12] <fDErn> Install XP
[10:12] <Devlyn> oki
[10:12] <fDErn> Install 10000000000000000 pacthes
[10:12] <rambo3> lmh is /boot/grub/device.map ok
[10:13] <fDErn> install vmware..
[10:13] <lmh> looks really bad, can i restart the system savely?
[10:13] <SilentJ> please
[10:13] <rambo3> lmh no
[10:13] <fDErn> start vmware
[10:13] <sebsebseb> SilentJ:  have you tryed to run the Dapper Live CD or any other Linux Live CD
[10:13] <m3talc0re> yes it exists
[10:13] <fDErn> following the wizard to build a os..
[10:13] <fDErn> its really really simple.
[10:13] <SilentJ> yea
[10:13] <sebsebseb> and that works?
[10:13] <SilentJ> Dapper live dosent do anything like I said
[10:13] <SilentJ> it wont install
[10:13] <SilentJ> it wont boot
[10:13] <SilentJ> it just locks up
[10:14] <sebsebseb> the Live CD won't work either?
[10:14] <dooglus> m3talc0re: run this command - what does it say?    echo /etc/rc2.d/????dm
[10:14] <biberao> Devlyn both
[10:14] <Devlyn> or i can install VMware in ubuntu and run xp in that?
[10:14] <cypher1> SilentJ, did u burnt the cd ?
[10:14] <SilentJ> nope
[10:14] <fDErn> YES..
[10:14] <biberao> got a wl-530g?!!!
[10:14] <biberao> pls
[10:14] <lmh> rambo3: i don't know, there is no /boot/grub
[10:14] <fDErn> THats the better way to do it ;)
[10:14] <sebsebseb> yes Devlyn
[10:14] <SilentJ> yea I burned the CD
[10:14] <Devlyn> which way is better?
[10:14] <fDErn> Stable host os and winblows running within..
[10:14] <jrib> m3talc0re: ok you are going to run 'sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop', that should kill off kdm as well as X I believe.  So you may then have to press ctrl-alt-f1 and login to the terminal there.  Then run 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start' and press alt-f7 to get back to X.  Umm, check that /etc/init.d/gdm exists before starting this process...
[10:14] <sebsebseb> fDErm:  well sure we would say,  but his Intenret won't work in Linux
[10:14] <Devlyn> my internet won't work in linux :)
[10:14] <rambo3> lmh run sudo apt-get install grub again
[10:14] <cypher1> SilentJ, i guess in dapper there is a option in the begining to check the sanity of the contents of cd
[10:15] <rambo3> SilentJ, install breezy
[10:15] <cypher1> SilentJ, can you try it ?
[10:15] <SilentJ> yea
[10:15] <Devlyn> and i can't run wire to hub.
[10:15] <lmh> rambo3: I just installed grub, now i have a /boot/grub
[10:15] <bl3ssing> ubuntu-6.06-desktop-i386.iso ... can anybody tell me how could I install this new kubuntu on my computer, without writting any cd ...
[10:15] <fDErn> Why, whats the problem? I must have missed the earliar posts..
[10:15] <sebsebseb> cypher1:  you mean if it's currupted or not?
[10:15] <m3talc0re> sudo killall kdm wont work?
[10:15] <SilentJ> Breesy installed nicely twice
[10:15] <dooglus> bl3ssing: you can't
[10:15] <lmh> rambo3: but lilo is still in the MBR
[10:15] <biberao> bye
[10:15] <SilentJ> but I always have the same problem
[10:15] <bl3ssing> dooglus,  grrrrrrrrrrr....
[10:15] <bl3ssing> :)
[10:15] <cypher1> sebsebseb, not sure since it was burnt
[10:15] <rambo3> lmh, run install then grub-install /dev/hda or sda
[10:15] <SilentJ> It crashes at "installing Bace System"
[10:16] <SilentJ> about 74% threw
[10:16] <Devlyn> so for internet to work i'd have to install it in windows? or could i install it in linux and use internet in windows? i'm confused :(
[10:16] <sebsebseb> slientJ:  your CD drive might be scrwed or the disc is
[10:16] <keldon> reburn the cd at lower speed then SilentJ
[10:16] <sireliah> what is the command to check to see if 3d xcelleration is on?
[10:16] <SilentJ> burned it at 1
[10:16] <m3talc0re> yeah, no?
[10:16] <dooglus> bl3ssing: well, maybe you can - some kind of magic "boot from iso file" program in windows or something?  I don't know.  but it would have been easier if you had the alternate cd, not the desktop one
[10:16] <jrib> m3talc0re: might, you still need to start gdm afterwards though
[10:16] <SilentJ> took an hour
[10:16] <lmh> rambo3: whenever i run grub-install hd0 or grub-install /dev/hda it freezes everything
[10:16] <SilentJ> dosent get any slower
[10:16] <m3talc0re> yeah
[10:16] <m3talc0re> sudo gdm
[10:16] <dooglus> m3talc0re: run this command - what does it say?    echo /etc/rc2.d/????dm
[10:16] <keldon> SilentJ, verified written date afterwars?
[10:16] <rambo3> lmh, try with --no-floppy
[10:16] <keldon> +d
[10:16] <sebsebseb> silentj:  you can also get them to send you Dapper CD's for free from http://shipit.ubuntu.com  it might be a few weeks,  but at least then the disc will be perfect
[10:17] <m3talc0re> dooglus: /etc/rc2.d/S13gdm /etc/rc2.d/S99kdm
[10:17] <dooglus> m3talc0re: if you stop or kill kdm, all your windows will vanish
[10:17] <m3talc0re> i know
[10:17] <dooglus> m3talc0re: those 'S's stand for 'start' - it's starting both gdm and kdm
[10:17] <cypher1> SilentJ, can you switch terminals while installing and see whether there are any errors/logs reported
[10:17] <m3talc0re> so what do i do to make it only start gdm?
[10:18] <dooglus> m3talc0re: do a "sudo mv /etc/rc2.d/{S,K}99kdm" to disable kdm
[10:18] <Devlyn> vmware almost done downloading..
[10:18] <sebsebseb> your in WIndows now Devlyn?
[10:18] <Devlyn> yes
[10:18] <m3talc0re> hmm
[10:18] <stefg> SilentJ: so do a media check, do a memtest... Inspiron 9300 is known to fully work with ubuntu, so this is a hardware issue
[10:18] <m3talc0re> didn't do anything
[10:18] <lmh> rambo3: hdb: dma_intr status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
[10:18] <sebsebseb> VMware server right?
[10:18] <masquerade> Is there a way to blacklist a problematic package when doing an apt-get upgrade or using Ubuntu's software upgrades? login 1:4.0.13-7ubuntu3.2 is causing dpkg to segfault, and I can't get anything to upgrade until I can do something about that. Even when I deselect the checkbox in the Software Updates program, it insists on trying to install it
[10:18] <dooglus> sebsebseb: I can't believe you talked him into the vmware route!
[10:18] <fDErn> Devlyn: Now all you need is a copy of dapper (iso) and you are done..
[10:18] <lmh> rambo3: DriveStatusError BadCRC
[10:18] <tailsfan> Does Dapper Drake come with Java already?
[10:18] <m3talc0re> or do i have to ctrl+alt+f1 then put that command?
[10:19] <Devlyn> if i install vmware in ubuntu could i use internet of windows in vmware?
[10:19] <SilentJ> naw
[10:19] <sebsebseb> !java
[10:19] <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
[10:19] <SilentJ> Breesy installed ok
[10:19] <lmh> rambo3: ide: failed opcode was: unknown
[10:19] <dooglus> m3talc0re: no, any terminal will do.  that will just affect the next time(s) you boot
[10:19] <Devlyn> vmware workstation 5.51
[10:19] <sebsebseb> oh
[10:19] <sebsebseb> uhmmmm
[10:19] <rambo3> lmh its ok ,sudo gedit /boot/grub/device.map and remove hdb
[10:19] <m3talc0re> so i have to restart...
[10:19] <sebsebseb> you don't want that one Devlyn
[10:19] <sebsebseb> unless
[10:19] <m3talc0re> ?
[10:20] <sebsebseb> your going to pay for it or take the other route :D
[10:20] <cypher1> SilentJ, yes.. its best to check the media as per my understanding it seems to stop at exactly the same place during installation
[10:20] <rambo3> lmh wait , hdb is ?
[10:20] <rambo3> what you have on it
[10:20] <Devlyn> other route taken
[10:20] <aeQu> !xfce
[10:20] <dooglus> m3talc0re: you can go to ctrl-alt-f1 and "sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop" then "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" to stop kdm and start gdm.  but the 'mv' command I told you will fix it for future boots
[10:20] <ubotu> Xubuntu is Ubuntu with XFCE, for more info, see http://www.xubuntu.org. To install from Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[10:20] <aeQu> ty mate!
[10:20] <sebsebseb> yes I mean pirate and we shoudn't be talking about such things here :D
[10:20] <Devlyn> your fault
[10:20] <[Ex0r] > anyone know if a VGA to DVI adapter will give the same quality as a straight DVI cable ?
[10:20] <m3talc0re> aight

[10:21] <dooglus> SilentJ: #debian is on irc.debian.org
[10:21] <Liquidscythe> how do i reset my xorg.conf?!?!?!?!!?!?!!?!?!?
[10:21] <sebsebseb> they are a company
[10:21] <rambo3> lhm you can try and install grub without hdb if there is nothing on there just remove it from device.map
[10:21] <sebsebseb> so they will have there product they sell all over there Homepage
[10:22] <danf_1979> Hi, in what package comes apxs for apache2??

[10:22] <Liquidscythe> thanks
[10:22] <andriijas> how can i check the cpu temperature without rebooting and go into bios?
[10:22] <sebsebseb> Devlyn:  I think you will get in a mess trying to pirate worksation
[10:22] <Devlyn> yes. so finding the free one took longer than changing a search engine in firefox and typing in vmware :)
[10:23] <SilentJ> I dont want to install Debian!!!1
[10:23] <SilentJ> I want toi install Stupid Ubuntu
[10:23] <Devlyn> its almost done..
[10:23] <rambo3> Thats the spirit
[10:23] <sebsebseb> SilentJ:  you can have Ubuntu inside WIndows :)
[10:23] <dooglus> "22:21 < SilentJ> i tried to install Debian yesterday"
[10:23] <painkiler> hey guys
[10:23] <fDErn> anyone using this chipset snd_intel8x0 and having problems with sound?
[10:23] <rambo3> fDErn, yes
[10:23] <painkiler> where can I find the sources.list for edgy eft pre-release?
[10:24] <fDErn> rambo3: Do you have sound at all?
[10:24] <dooglus> painkiler: just replace 'dapper' with 'edgy' in the dapper sources.list
[10:24] <SilentJ> Look, the damn thing will only boot with stupid command line
[10:24] <sebsebseb> Devlyn:  this is what you want http://www.vmware.com/products/server
[10:24] <painkiler> thanks
[10:24] <rambo3> use buggy-driver . search Stone123  in ubuntu forums i posted my config there
[10:24] <lmh> rambo3: how long does it take?
[10:24] <rambo3> 10 seconds
[10:24] <lmh> rambo3: it already takes longer
[10:24] <dooglus> SilentJ: you're not making much sense.  you installed debian accidentally?  or what?
[10:24] <m3talc0re> works now, t/y t/y
[10:24] <lmh> rambo3: without notice
[10:24] <dooglus> m3talc0re: y/w y/w
[10:25] <m3talc0re> lol
[10:25] <Devlyn> sebseb: and why not use workstation?
[10:25] <lmh> rambo3: is it a prob that my root is a XFS?
[10:25] <rambo3> lmh, is it an old computer , laptop
[10:25] <fDErn> Not old..
[10:25] <fDErn> packard bell  a series..
[10:25] <lmh> rambo3: brandnew, asus AMD64
[10:25] <sebsebseb> Devlyn:  ,because your meant to pay for it.  and you will probably end up in a mess if you try and pirate it.  and VMware server will do what you want
[10:25] <fDErn> rambo3: Do you have sound at all?
[10:27] <linuxboy> I can't play Elephants Dream in ubuntu. Its broken in all the players

[10:27] <SilentJ> dooglus I have been trying to install Ubuntu for 3 days now, I downloaded the Desktop cd 6.06and it does nothing. It locks up the first 2 minutes of install... so I thought I needed the Server CD, which again I downloaded and of course it didnt do anyting but give me command line so I thought screw it and I will install debian and try that out and again I got nothing but command line, so I have a Ubuntu 5.10 Cd that (SOMETIMES) installs to my computer, an
[10:27] <lmh> rambo3: any idea?
[10:27] <sebsebseb> linuxboy:  and installed the stuff from there?
[10:28] <linuxboy> sebsebseb: yes
[10:28] <rexykik> bad cdrom drive?
[10:28] <sebsebseb> SilentJ:  so you have had 5.10 installed before?
[10:28] <rsk> bad hardware probably
[10:28] <SilentJ> no cd rom is fine
[10:28] <SilentJ> yea
[10:28] <rambo3> lmh nope sorry you can ask more in #grub
[10:28] <Devlyn> ok fine sebseb

[10:29] <Devlyn> sebseb: if i get the one for linux. and my internet doesn't work in linux. and i run windows in vmware. will my internet work?
[10:29] <sebsebseb> yes
[10:29] <linuxboy> sebsebseb: must I use totem-xine or totem-gstreamer ?
[10:29] <sebsebseb> I belive so
[10:30] <sebsebseb> since WIndows will be your host OS
[10:30] <sebsebseb> and Linux will be the guest
[10:30] <sebsebseb> and so it should use Windows to connect to Internet
[10:30] <Devlyn> ugh. what if i want linux to be host damnit.

[11:08] <Renan_s2> at least this is what 'apt-cache search uudecode' gives me
[11:08] <lhds> i need to run linux as a whole
[11:08] <Aagni> Renan_s2: yes, that would come in handy
[11:08] <Renan_s2> lhds, what is the size of your current hard drive? can't you use, like, 6GB for Linux?
[11:08] <lhds> so your idea is to buy a hdd and go with cfdisk ?
[11:08] <stefg> !info sharutils
[11:08] <ubotu> sharutils: shar, unshar, uuencode, uudecode. In repository main, is optional. Version 1:4.2.1-15 (dapper), package size 108 kB, installed size 384 kB
[11:09] <lhds> renan i dont have partition magic and i dont want to screw the data on my hdd is there a way?
[11:09] <zazeem_> is there any way in ubuntu to see all the installed files and how big they are?
[11:09] <cotroler> !wine
[11:09] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[11:09] <dnkidjit> whats command to change the default java environment?
[11:09] <jrib> !multijava
[11:09] <ubotu> To set which java version/implementation is to be used as default, use sudo update-java-alternatives
[11:09] <Renan_s2> lhds, there are free partition resizers, I think that the Ubuntu CD has one
[11:09] <Aagni> !change default java environment
[11:09] <ubotu> I know nothing about change default java environment - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[11:09] <Aagni> lol
[11:09] <Aagni> !java change
[11:09] <ubotu> I know nothing about java change - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[11:09] <Renan_s2> !vmware
[11:10] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository. Instructions to install VMWare Server can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingVMWare
 that moves data or that erases all hdd data and starts from scratch?
[11:10] <rexykik> Ish_nitti, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-81280.html
[11:10] <Renan_s2> lhds, moves data, but make backups if possible
[11:10] <Renan_s2> it is not 100% perfect
[11:10] <Aagni> hmm ..
[11:10] <lhds> 40 geg backup = how many cd's? heh
[11:10] <Daver23x> !usb
[11:10] <ubotu> I know nothing about usb - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[11:10] <jrib> there should be some aliases in the file there already, try to keep them together (easier for humans to read)

[11:10] <lhds> okay ill buy a hdd than
[11:11] <lhds> thanx
[11:11] <Aagni> gatekeeper: thanks :)
[11:11] <gatekeeper> Aagni: yw :-)
[11:11] <Daver23x> damn i can transfer like 4 songs anymore and i think linux tries to transfer to fast for the mp3 player and the usb port?!?
[11:11] <Aagni> gatekeeper: you a wifi guru?
[11:11] <Daver23x> err to my mp3 player
[11:11] <rexykik> Daver23x, that wasn't a question
[11:12] <gatekeeper> Aagni: not really what's the problem?
[11:12] <Minty> can anyone tell me how to mount my window partion please, the device is dev/hda1 and the access path is /mnt/win
[11:12] <goonies> ive configured my kernel and when i try my custom kernel it boots until some part that says, waiting for root file system
[11:12] <stefg> !mount
[11:12] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted  -  Formatting partitions: see the manual page for mkfs ("man mkfs")  -  Mounting partitions in Gnome: System -> Administration -> Disks
[11:12] <gatekeeper> !ntfs > Minty
[11:12] <goonies> but in grubs menu.lst the kernels line is exactly set up like the others
[11:12] <goonies> anyone have any idea whats up?
[11:12] <Aagni> gatekeeper: i am RTFM-ing, but my wifi connection drops if not used for a little while
[11:13] <Daver23x> lol ok if i try to transfer many large files to usb my mp3 player will get the first few songs then just the file names even though it claims to have transfered all the data.. perhaps linux is pushing the data to fast.. any fix for this?
[11:13] <rexykik> Aagni, check the DHCP lease time on your router
[11:13] <Aagni> rexykik: how do  i do that?
[11:13] <rexykik> Daver23x, it is extreamly unlikely that linux is pushing data too fast
[11:13] <BigMonkey> ivanowitch - Have you got any more time for help?
[11:13] <rexykik> Aagni, you should be able to log into your router somehow
[11:13] <rexykik> either through software or through a web interface
[11:14] <Minty> gatekeeper: have already a folder shortcut to this partion on my desktop, but would like to 'see' the partion in the computer next to my filestyem icon
[11:14] <Daver23x> then maybe the transfer cache is to small
[11:14] <Renan_s2> I would make a quick hack which keeps pinging www.google.com and put it in crontab... I once did this for a dial-up connection
[11:14] <Nekow42> Aagni: Usually through a web interface...
[11:14] <dnkidjit> Aagni: btw, command i was thinking of turned out to be update-alternatives
[11:14] <dli> Daver23x, make sure you umount the usb disk ( Right click, Umount/Eject), before you unplug
[11:14] <Daver23x> would that make a difference?
[11:14] <gatekeeper> Aagni: 192.168.0.1 at a guess to log into your router
[11:15] <Renan_s2> Daver23x, yes
[11:15] <Aagni> rexykik: its 1 day
[11:15] <Aagni> gatekeeper: yes, i got through
[11:15] <bbrazil> Aagni: router model?
[11:15] <gatekeeper> Aagni: :-)
[11:15] <dli> Daver23x, or use reiser4 filesystem, you won't get empty files :) files are there or not, but no broken ones
[11:15] <rexykik> Daver23x, are you making sure to unmount the drive before and
[11:15] <Daver23x> lol this morning i noticed that linux had created a .trashbin on the mp3 player.. I thought that was funny
[11:15] <mboso> anyone recgonize the wallpaper in the screenshot? i've seen it a few places, but have no idea what it is. http://www.flickr.com/photos/kaichan/174657976/#comment72157594181577254
[11:15] <Renan_s2> dli, I think the MP3 player doesn't understand Reiser4
[11:15] <phazeman> Hi All
[11:16] <bbrazil> .0.1 - voyager or sitecom?
[11:16] <dli> Renan_s2, who cares
[11:16] <phazeman> a simple question - is there an option on the live cd to save the current user preferences ?
[11:16] <Eml-> mboso i have it
[11:16] <dli> phazeman, kinda of silly, but you can cp ~/.gconf* ~/.gnome*
[11:16] <Aagni> bbrazil: dell 2350
[11:17] <gatekeeper> phazeman: will your pc let you boot from a usb stick?
[11:17] <phazeman> dli: thanks
[11:17] <mboso> Eml-: for real? would you mind sending it to me? Its fing nice
[11:18] <phazeman> gatekeeper: i don't know.. how do i check ?
[11:18] <Ish_nitti> is there an ubuntu floppy boot disk?
[11:18] <stian> phaero: check in bios for boot from "other hardware" or a thing like that
[11:18] <dli> Ish_nitti, can you boot via net/usb?
[11:18] <gatekeeper> phazeman: would be a boot option in the bios I think, if it can head over to damn small linux and have a look
[11:19] <Ish_nitti> dli: most likely not, this box is pre cdrom era
[11:19] <dli> Phazeman, if your bios doesn't allow usb booting, you can still boot usb via grub on hdd
[11:19] <Phazeman> gatekeeper: i still dont understand how that will help me ?
[11:19] <Ish_nitti> dli: hence why my client is unable to install from cdrom
[11:19] <dooglus> dli: best not to use '*' twice with 'cp' like that
[11:19] <dli> Ish_nitti, take the hdd (ide?), install on another machine
[11:20] <Minty> why does this not work ~$ sudo /etc/fstab
[11:20] <Minty> sudo: /etc/fstab: command not found
[11:20] <Daver23x> how about that i unmounted it and mounted it transsfered and unmounted it and it worked
[11:20] <Ish_nitti> dli: that was my last resort
[11:20] <gatekeeper> Phazeman: there are ways to run linux from a usb stick, and will allow  you save your settings
[11:20] <dli> dooglus, why not?
[11:20] <Renan_s2> Minty, do you want to edit /etc/fstab?
[11:20] <trappist> Minty: /etc/fstab isn't a program.  it's a text file.  try sudo nano /etc/fstab
[11:20] <Renan_s2> then use "sudo gedit /etc/fstab" if you use gnome, or "sudo kedit /etc/fstab" if you use kde
[11:20] <Phazeman> gatekeeper: gotcha... thanks.. anyway i don't have such big usb stick.. only 512MB and it's almost full now
[11:20] <dooglus> dli: because the 2nd one will expand to multiple paths, and only the last of them will be treated as the destination, the rest will be the source.
[11:20] <dli> Ish_nitti, debian provides loadlin.exe to start from dos
[11:20] <Minty> I would like to look at it
[11:20] <Phazeman> woohoo trappist  !
[11:20] <dooglus> dli: for me it expands like this: cp /home/chris/.gconf /home/chris/.gconfd /home/chris/.gnome /home/chris/.gnome2 /home/chris/.gnome2_private /home/chris/.gnome_private /home/chris/.gnomerc
[11:20] <mirak> hi
[11:20] <trappist> Phazeman!
[11:21] <mirak> Is there at least on wifi card with open source driver or none at all ?
[11:21] <Phazeman> trappist: damn long time not seen !!!!!
[11:21] <Phazeman> trappist: look at my host mask :)))))
[11:21] <bbrazil> Phazeman: someone mentioned to be recently a floppy that can boot to cd, network etc. Forget the name
[11:21] <dooglus> dli: that's almost certainly not what you intended
[11:21] <Minty> trappist: Okay did that and got /dev/hda1 /mnt/win ntfs nls=utf8,umask=0222 0 0
[11:21] <Minty> I would like to to see it all the timemount tis partion
[11:21] <cotroler> after sudo apt-get install mozilla-firefox  do i need to configure something to open firefox???
[11:21] <claes> Hi! Audacity crashes showing "PaHost_WatchDogProc: killing hung audio thread!" as only error output. Any ideas?
[11:21] <Minty> I would like to to see it all the time
[11:22] <Aagni> cotroler: nope, it should appear in your menu
[11:22] <tuliomgui> Renan_s2: hey man do you use k3b?
[11:22] <dli> dooglus, I said cp the folders, not my fault, if a brainless types: cp ~/.gconf* ~/.gnome* , even that brainless won't do any demage indeed
[11:22] <stian> cotroler: no, just open it
[11:22] <Renan_s2> tuliomgui, I have used it once or twice. why?
[11:22] <cotroler> i cant find it! :O
[11:22] <gatekeeper> cotroler: nope should be ok, might want to visit preferences once you have fired it up
[11:22] <stian> cotroler: alt+f2 and write firefox :P
[11:22] <goonies> this kernel crap might get me back on gentoo
[11:23] <dooglus> dli: I'm saying you don't want that 2nd * - it makes the command do different stuff depending on which locale you're in
[11:23] <goonies> ive had nothing but problems configuring a kernel for ubuntu, one after another, on gentoo i never have probs
[11:23] <goonies> "Begin: Waiting for root file system ..."
[11:23] <dooglus> dli: it will copy stuff into whichever .gnome* folder comes last in the local sorting order
[11:23] <dli> goonies, you can build your own kernel in ubuntu, but using kernel-package, not " make bzImage"
[11:23] <tuxvix> hello everyone
[11:23] <chikosanchez> Hello all!! someone could help me to install MSN pebrot ?
[11:23] <goonies> dli, i have followed the ubuntus wiki religously
[11:23] <tuxvix> is any one in here knows any php/cgi?
[11:23] <Renan_s2> Anybody here knows what can be causing SSH server (sshd) to work when I 'ssh localhost', but doesn't work when I try to SSH from a remote machine? I have opened the port 22 on my router.
[11:24] <tuliomgui> Renan_s2: im trying to create a audio project and add mp3 files to the project but it says mp3 format is not compatible. what should i do?
[11:24] <Renan_s2> tuliomgui, you need to install codecs
[11:24] <crimsun> goonies: did you generate the initramfs for your custom kernel if you didn't compile in support for your root fs and the drive's controller type?
[11:24] <gatekeeper> goonies: there is a #ubuntu-kernel channel
[11:24] <Renan_s2> !codecs
[11:24] <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
[11:24] <tuliomgui> Renan_s2: wich ones do you know?
[11:24] <goonies> gatekeeper, ill go there
[11:24] <goonies> crimsun, yes i did
[11:24] <Renan_s2> tuliomgui, look at those links
[11:24] <tuxvix> and where can one find Ubuntu 6.10 changelog?
[11:24] <wildman> hello, is there a repository where I can get updated versions of some packages? (for example krita) dapper x86_64 here
[11:24] <Renan_s2> !codecs > tuliomgui
[11:24] <crimsun> goonies: please keep the support question in here
[11:24] <tuliomgui> Renan_s2: thanks man!
[11:24] <tuliomgui> =D
[11:24] <goonies> its not like im a noob at configuring my own kernel
[11:24] <Sarra> !codecs
[11:24] <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
[11:24] <goonies> ive done it 100s of times on different distributions
[11:25] <crimsun> goonies: what was the syntax you used to generate it?
[11:25] <dli> dooglus, no, because ~/.gconf* ~/.gnome* are all folders, therefore, " cp ~/.gconf* ~/.gnome* " won't do anything, simply returns
[11:25] <goonies> one second, let me get u the link to the guide ive followed
[11:25] <goonies> crimsun, http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Kernel_Compilation_Dapper
[11:25] <dooglus> dli: ~/.gnome-fetish.avi is a regular file on my other box.  um.
[11:26] <cerberus> does anyone know how to remove the annoying drum sound when the logon screen pops up?
[11:26] <goonies> but i had to do it with a vanilla kernel since ubuntus patched kernel was giving me too many errors
[11:26] <dooglus> dli: 'regular' in the loosest sense of the word
[11:26] <goonies> the vanilla kernel compiled cleanly with no errors
[11:26] <wildman> hello, is there a repository where I can get updated (read newer) stable versions of some packages? (for example krita) dapper x86_64 here
[11:27] <dli> goonies, try 2.6.17.7, it should work (except the bootsplash)
[11:27] <goonies> thats the one im trying
[11:27] <crimsun> goonies: that guide doesn't tell me how you generated your own initramfs, though.
[11:27] <goonies> let me show u my grub config
[11:27] <dli> wildman, stable means the official ubuntu :(
[11:27] <wildman> dli, and not that stable then?
[11:27] <dli> crimsun, you don't even know whether he uses initrd
[11:27] <bbrazil> wildman: edgy is very unstable
[11:28] <crimsun> dli: I asked him that earlier.
[11:28] <goonies> i use what ubuntu came with
[11:28] <wildman> bbrazil, I've had my dosis of cooker enough in my old days, thank you :)
[11:28] <dli> goonies, if you build your kernel, you don't have to use intrd, indeed, you'd better not
[11:29] <cavedive1> Hi. How can I remove keyring password? i don't plan to store sensitive pw there
[11:29] <goonies> dli, well it is in my boot folder
[11:29] <krang> Anyone know if wine is still the best option for running windows binaries? I have heard rumblings that there are better things, but I suspect they cost money (IE VMware)
[11:29] <goonies> initrd.img-2.6.17.7-custom
[11:29] <dli> goonies, all pre-built kernel uses init ram disk, (there's no way to build in all ide/scsi/fs drivers)
[11:29] <goonies> sudo make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-custom kernel_image kernel_headers is the command i used
[11:29] <gatekeeper> krang: use vmware if you have a copy of windows
[11:30] <farous> if you need to have initrid there is the option from the line i use fakeroot make-kpkg --append_to_version -686 --initrd --revision=rev.01 kernel_image modules_image
[11:30] <Renan_s2> krang, it is. If you need support, buy CrossOver Office, if it's for games, Cedega. VMware requires a Windows license and a very good machine.
[11:30] <hoy> how can i give a user an 'admin-like' access other than sudo
[11:30] <wildman> krang, there's vmplayer which can be made 'almost' workstation-like to use Windows
[11:30] <dli> goonies, you don't need initrd, if you build-in your need ide/scsi/fs drivers
[11:30] <Renan_s2> and there's VMware Server, which is almost full-featured
[11:30] <rexykik> hoy, you can add them to the wheel group so they can just use su instead
[11:30] <crimsun> goonies: that doesn't work properly. You need to regenerate the initramfs /manually/ after installing the linux-image deb.
[11:30] <goonies> dli, that could be whats going wrong
[11:30] <dooglus> hoy: you can configure sudo to give him whatever kind of access you want to
[11:30] <Gandalfar> what's the 'alernate' edition CD?
[11:30] <goonies> crimsun, how do i do it manually
[11:30] <goonies> and is it too late to do it now?
[11:31] <dooglus> rexykik: how does that work?
[11:31] <crimsun> goonies: use mkinitramfs.
[11:31] <Minty> /dev/hda1 /mnt/win ntfs nls=utf8,umask=0222 0  anyone tell me why this does not mount please
[11:31] <hoy> well, im on debian, i know, i don't know why im banned
[11:31] <goonies> can i just delete the one that command made and replace?
[11:31] <sebsebseb> banned from their channel:?
[11:31] <rexykik> Gandalfar, install cd w/o live cd acess
[11:31] <hoy> yeah
[11:31] <dli> goonies, consider, it's senseless to leave your ide/scsi/fs drivers as modules
[11:31] <sebsebseb> ,becuase you pissed them off maybe?
[11:31] <goonies> dli, there built in
[11:31] <Gandalfar> rexykik: cool, I think that is what I need :)
[11:31] <Renan_s2> Minty, what is the error when you type 'sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/win' on a terminal?
[11:31] <hoy> no
[11:31] <rexykik> dooglus, su allows you to become the root user.
[11:31] <hoy> i just don't know why
[11:31] <sebsebseb> a mod should be able to unban you
[11:31] <dooglus> rexykik: right.  what's that got to do with the 'wheel' group?
[11:31] <dli> goonies, then, make-kpkg kernel-image , you can simply comment the intrd line in grub
[11:32] <krang> gatekeeper, Renan_s2, wildman: Thanks. Just wanted to check that wine is still the right choice for free windows emulation :-)
[11:32] <crimsun> goonies: if they're built-in, then don't use the initrd line.
[11:32] <rexykik> being in the wheel group allows you to use the su command
[11:32] <wildman> krang, yw
[11:32] <hoy> anyway, when you install debian, it asks for a second username
[11:32] <Minty> Renan_s2: mount: /dev/hda1 already mounted or /mnt/win busy
[11:32] <Minty> mount: according to mtab, /dev/hda1 is already mounted on /mnt/win
[11:32] <Minty> trevor@trevor-ubuntu:~$
[11:32] <hoy> but i deleted that username and created a new one
[11:32] <Renan_s2> Minty, then it is already mounted!
[11:32] <Renan_s2> try 'cd /mnt/win'
[11:32] <hoy> though, i don't know what access the 'old' user had
[11:32] <dooglus> rexykik: anyone can use the 'su' command, so long as they either (1) know the password for the account they're su'ing to or (2) are root
[11:32] <goonies> crimsun, let me try that
[11:32] <hoy> you get what im saying?
[11:32] <Renan_s2> and then 'ls'
[11:32] <dooglus> rexykik: I can 'su' to root, and don't even have a 'wheel' group on this pc
[11:33] <nzx> hey, i'm getting errors when i try to compile c source code that needs conio.h, what package do i need to install ?
[11:33] <goonies> question, why on other distros grub is controlled by grub.conf and in ubuntu its menu_1st
[11:33] <goonies> or something like that
[11:33] <gatekeeper> krang: how good it is depends on the app I think, if you look on the wine site it tells you how successfull (or not) they are for that app
[11:33] <Minty> Renan_s2: but I cannot see it in the 'computer' next to the cd or filesytem icon
[11:33] <krang> wildman: I am clearly behind on my internet lexicography. What's "yw" mean?
[11:33] <wildman> nzx, wasn't conio.h part of the standard C libs?
[11:33] <Renan_s2> Minty, then I don't know :/
[11:33] <dooglus> krang: you're welcome
[11:33] <Minty> Renan_s2: thanks anyway :)
[11:33] <cotroler> How can i add  shortcut to firefox or something like that?
[11:33] <erUSUL> wildman: nope
[11:33] <wildman> nzx, hmm... on DOS IIRC :) conio.h = console I/O
[11:33] <krang> gatekeeper: I'm not too bothered, as long as I have the best first port-of-call
[11:33] <rexykik> dooglus, maybe it is just a gentoo thing then
[11:34] <krang> dooglus: ahhhhh

[11:34] <hoy> where is that 'wheel' group located?
[11:35] <dooglus> nzx: conio.h is in pacakges brickos, elks-libc, mingw32-runtime, and wine-dev
[11:35] <nzx> wildman, i'm trying to compile standard terminal app, but anjuta errors saying it cant find that file
[11:35] <Phazeman> hoy: vi /etc/groups
[11:35] <Phazeman> hoy: look for line that has a "wheel" in it
[11:35] <wildman> nzx: dooglus and dli answered you above
[11:35] <nzx> thanks guys
[11:35] <Renan_s2> Oops, I was using 'apt-cache' instead of 'apt-file'. no wonder it was not returning results.
[11:35] <dooglus> hoy: ubuntu doesn't use 'wheel' group
[11:35] <sebsebseb> !ubotu Chris dooglus
[11:35] <ubotu> I know nothing about Chris dooglus - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[11:36] <hoy> dooglus: im on debian
[11:36] <dooglus> !botabuse
[11:36] <ubotu> Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops
[11:36] <sebsebseb> lol Chris
[11:36] <dooglus> hoy: you're in #ubuntu.  but debian doesn't use wheel either
[11:36] <KnowledgEngi> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper
[11:36] <KnowledgEngi> from 6.16 to 6.26
[11:36] <KnowledgEngi> but video,,, nothing
[11:37] <Neeto> Hello
[11:37] <rexykik> hoy, sorry for the bad advice. I am a gentoo user primarily
[11:37] <rexykik> gentoo uses the wheel group
[11:37] <sebsebseb> yes hello Neeto what you want
[11:37] <mnp> my system locks up after a while and i can't get it to resume without a hard reset. anyone have an idea where to check to see whats up?
[11:37] <misterE> someone around that can help me get glade configured properly?  i'm having a hell of a time with it and can't find the correct solution in forums or google :\
[11:37] <Neeto> Just to know if there is any AM64 users..
[11:37] <Renan_s2> mnp, it may be a hardware problem
[11:38] <wildman> Neeto, yes, there are
[11:38] <Neeto> good
[11:38] <sebsebseb> !AM64
[11:38] <ubotu> I know nothing about AM64 - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[11:38] <mnp> Renan_s2: where do i check?
[11:38] <sebsebseb> !AMD64
[11:38] <ubotu> AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/jv6tc for more information.
[11:38] <hoy> dooglus: because, look, when you install debian right, it asks you for a second username, but i deleted that username and created a new one, now my sounds don't work, it always say 'permission denied', so i want to know what access the 'old username' had
[11:38] <wildman> Neeto, wait, AMD64 I guess you meant? :)
[11:38] <JDStone> I'm having issues installing Ubuntu on a very new system with very new hardware.  I've tried Ubuntu server and Ubuntu Desktop, both give me kernel errors.
[11:38] <Renan_s2> mnp, you will have to do some troubleshooting. does it happen with other operating systems?
[11:38] <JDStone> any ideas?
[11:38] <Neeto> i just setup my Ati X700 with fglrx!
[11:38] <Gandalfar> hoy: adduser hoy audio
[11:38] <mnp> WIndows used to do it when it would hibernate, or suspend.
[11:38] <bl3ssing> hello guys
[11:39] <Renan_s2> mnp, do you get scrambled (distorted) video when the system crashes? if so, your video card is bad. I had a similar problem
[11:39] <runes> hey bl3ssing

[11:39] <bl3ssing> what can i do with the ubuntu 6 which i've already puted on my compact disk ... it is a start.exe file there and I tried from ubuntu 5.10 to install the ubuntu 6
[11:39] <mnp> Renan_s2: no scrambling, just a black (but backlit) screen with no response from the HD or OS if i hit crtl-c, or anything like that.
[11:39] <erUSUL> !wifi > xbox

[11:42] <wildman> JDStone, just throwing ideas ;)
[11:42] <dindin> hoy: If you have a bad ram stick, it'll tell you. It's one of the pieces of hardware that can cause weird stuff like this

[11:43] <wildman> JDStone, wors->worst
[11:43] <mnp> Renan_s2: any ideas where to go?
[11:43] <sebsebseb> xbox:  have you tryed to set up your wireless at all in Ubuntu?  if not I can probably help you

[11:44] <wildman> JDStone, AM2 is very new hardware... dunno if even XP works fine on it (or if it works on it like a super AthlonXP)
[11:44] <interfear> How do I a shortcut on my gnome desktop pointing to a directory on my box ?
[11:44] <mnp> Renan_s2: can i ask another question about getting ubuntu to load certain programs in certain workspaces?
[11:44] <runes> bl3ssing, checking for you I don't want to give you wrong info sec....

[11:44] <goonies> Please append a correct "root=" boot option
[11:44] <Renan_s2> mnp, ask
[11:44] <JDStone> stefg, when it partitions the hdd or installs packages, it spits out kernel errors
[11:44] <Renan_s2> to the channel, because I don't know
[11:44] <Gandalfar> hoy: maybe udev or something
[11:44] <wildman> interfear, through the network? or on the same machine (trivial)?
[11:44] <xbox> yes... using network settings
[11:44] <sebsebseb> oh right ok
[11:44] <dindin> hoy: Okay, I was just sayin... Everything was working fine for me too, then I got a freeze and a badly damaged ext3 partition (fixed with fsk), and ran memtest86+... sure enough, bad stick...
[11:44] <JDStone> wildman, I knew AM2 was a bad idea
[11:44] <mnp> Renan_s2: i want to start ubuntu and have the terminal load full screen in workspace 1, mail and chat in workspace two, etc...
[11:44] <goonies> crimsun, Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root from unknown-block(0,0)

[11:44] <mnp> Renan_s2: is there a script i can write for that kind of thing?
[11:44] <goonies> can someone help me with this problem =\
[11:44] <Renan_s2> I don't know
[11:45] <wildman> JDStone, very new hardware architectures are for any OS I guess...
[11:45] <bl3ssing> i mean ... I've restarted my computer (I've installed kubuntu 5.10 and winxp proffessional) ... and my cd with kubuntu 6.0 .... was in the cd-rom (my computer was ready to boot from this cd and it did it).
[11:45] <sebsebseb> xbox:  and you put in WEP key if you got one.  and made it the connection hex or whatever?
[11:45] <xbox> no wep key...
[11:45] <stefg> JDStone: which CD are/were you using? desktop or alternate
[11:45] <xbox> what about the network name....
[11:45] <interfear> wildman: on the same machine, i have a direcotry (/dump) which is a seperate mounted partition and i just want an icon on my desktop for for it.. i cant seem to figure out this simple task
[11:45] <crimsun> goonies: post the .config used to generate that kernel.
[11:45] <dli> goonies, you don't have one of the needed driver: ide/scsi/fs
[11:45] <KnowledgEngi> how many years is needed for see video on ubuntu ?
[11:45] <interfear> wildman: basically the windows eqvilent of add shortcut.
[11:45] <mnp> Renan_s2: or lets start simple. if i am launching a program fro mthe terminal (i like using the keyboard over a mouse) can i set it to launch to a specific workspace ?
[11:45] <bl3ssing> runes, the pb was that at a certain moment, the computer doesn't work ... just showing me that some pb-s appeared ... after the new kub.'s saying that the linux kernel's fine...
[11:45] <runes> bl3ssing, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[11:45] <wildman> interfear, create a launcher, folder type
[11:45] <Renan_s2> mnp, that is the problem; I don't know
[11:45] <goonies> ill post the config
[11:46] <wildman> interfear, yes, it's not very intuitive :)
[11:46] <sebsebseb> xbox:  when you open up networking what you get?  wireless ethernet and modem?
[11:46] <dli> goonies, better post your lspci also
[11:46] <mnp> does anyone know how to launch a program from the terminal into a specific workspace?
[11:46] <JDStone> stefg, server 6.06
[11:46] <oliver> I'm doing a kernel compilation, and I'm patching. Patch instructions say to apply patch *after* disabling a config option. Should I run config first, then patch?
[11:46] <dura> mnp: Depends on the window manager
[11:46] <bobbyw> anyone know how to burn cds with cd-text
[11:46] <mnp> dura: gnome
[11:46] <Samus_Aran> still having Postfix issues.  does anyone know how I can determine why Postfix won't accept any local connections ?  I am using the same config file from my two previous distros, so it should be fine
[11:47] <bl3ssing> runes, i don't want to upgrade. I've went to wallgreen shopping store to buy a cd for this kubuntu 6 (so my kub.5 will be out of my library) and ... already copied to my cd
[11:47] <dura> mnp: hmmm
[11:47] <xbox> i get 2 wireless connection... 1 ethernet connetion and modem connet. the   wireless connection is active....
[11:47] <dli> oliver, make sure you run " make oldconfig " after patching
[11:47] <stefg> JDStone: so i'll assume the 64bit flavour?
[11:47] <help-the-n00b> How do I make window borders?
[11:47] <dura> mnp: Tried searching http://www.google.com/linux ?
[11:47] <wildman> interfear, hmm... no it doesn't work here :-| thought it would, sorry.
[11:47] <JDStone> no, I'm using x86
[11:47] <m3talc0re> someone know?
[11:47] <cerberus> Could someon please tell me how to remove the drum sounds you hear when greeterd with the logon screen.
[11:47] <bobbyw> the audio cd creator in ubuntu seems.... ultra super mega minimalistic
[11:47] <m3talc0re> where does ubuntu store it's fonts?
[11:47] <JDStone> stefg, no, I'm using x86
[11:47] <sebsebseb> xbox:  select the wireless that you use and set that up.  and that should do it I guess.  sorry,  but I got to go now
[11:47] <oliver> dli: thanks
[11:47] <Samus_Aran> when I run "/etc/init.d/postfix start", the process "/usr/lib/postfix/master" starts and stays running, but I can't connect to localhost (connection refused)
[11:47] <help-the-n00b> Help?
[11:47] <mnp> dura: i'd really like to use as many keyboard commands as possible and not have to rellly on my mouse. (its a notebook and slows me down to move my hands around.)
[11:47] <help-the-n00b> Please?
[11:48] <help-the-n00b> Please?
[11:48] <bobbyw> cerberus: perferences -> sound
[11:48] <help-the-n00b> How do I make window borders?

[11:48] <dli> mnp, that's why they have trackpoint
[11:48] <xbox> ok
[11:48] <xbox> thank you
[11:48] <Samus_Aran> m3talc0re: look at the directories in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /etc/fonts/fonts.conf
[11:48] <mnp> dli: still dont like it. ive got a fingerpad and its not great.
[11:48] <cotroler> is there wine for 64bit o/s ?
[11:48] <Renan_s2> cotroler, yes
[11:48] <Renan_s2> it should work
[11:48] <wildman> interfear, right click on the folder->create shortcut (or link or whatever, I dont' use EN Gnome here), then move the shortcut to the Desktop
[11:48] <help-the-n00b> How do I make window borders?

[11:49] <stefg> JDStone: hmmm... seems then that the kernel really has its difficulties with that hardware. If you feel adventurous you could test Edgy knot1, which has 2.6.17 to see if it changes something (#ubuntu+1 should have a link)
[11:49] <cotroler> cannot access archive: No such file or directory
[11:49] <cotroler> cannot access archive: No such file or directory

[11:49] <goonies> dli, crimsun, thanks for helping out, i appreciate it
[11:49] <cerberus> bobbyw, I have already disabled all sounds possible in the sound preferences dialog box, the initial sound when greated with the logon screen isn't available to be disabled there.
[11:49] <Renan_s2> are you sure that the file name is right?
[11:49] <xbox> but is not connet
[11:50] <help-the-n00b> does /exit work here?
[11:50] <Renan_s2> type `ls *.deb`
[11:50] <bobbyw> cotroler: do you actually HAVE that?
[11:50] <xbox> i need helpl.....
[11:50] <JDStone> stefg, what kernel does 6.06 use?
[11:50] <cotroler> no
[11:50] <bobbyw> cerberus: then the GDM perfs
[11:50] <Renan_s2> JDStone, 2.6.15

[11:53] <Farhad> bobbyw, when i type apt-get return this error: apt-get: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6)
[11:53] <Samus_Aran> m3talc0re: my fonts.conf and local.conf just has directories.  I added my own font dirs to it
[11:53] <bobbyw> hmm
[11:54] <dli> goonies, you have ATA support in modules
[11:54] <cotroler> bobbyw: my proeccor is intel em64t but i have amd64 kubuntu installed
[11:54] <goonies> hmmm
[11:54] <goonies> let me check that out
[11:54] <goonies> should i even have initrd support in my kernel if im not going to use it
[11:55] <zzzy> can anyone record with audigy ls?
[11:55] <dli> goonies, it's senseless to have something you always need as modules, built-in
[11:55] <goonies> dli, that could be the wrong config, if not i might have overlooked it
[11:55] <goonies> i feel like an idiot
[11:55] <davegoodson> Hi, i have a problem with flash and firefox, I can't hear any sound on any flash animations and videos. How do I fix that?
[11:56] <Renan_s2> davegoodson, are you running any audio players?
[11:56] <JW> davegoodson - have you installed alsa-oss ?
[11:56] <Renan_s2> because I have a similar problem here, If I have, say, amaroK playing, I can't listen to audio in Flash
[11:56] <JW> davegoodson - it needs alsa-oss
[11:56] <stefg> davegoodson: add FIREFOX_DSP=esd as an env variable, possibly in .bashrc
[11:56] <Farhad> anyboy Can help me
[11:56] <davegoodson> Renan_s2: not at the same time
[11:57] <Farhad> my question
[11:57] <Farhad> when i type apt-get return this error: apt-get: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6)
[11:57] <dli> goonies, you don't even need initrd support in kernel
[11:57] <JW> davegoodson -alsa-oss is better, so sound is better in sync
[11:57] <goonies>  dli yeah ive turned it off
[11:57] <davegoodson> ok
[11:58] <davegoodson> JW: will i find that in the normal place to download programs?
[11:58] <La_PaRCa> Is there a way, however rudimentary, to edit flash files in linux?
[11:58] <dooglus> Farhad: can you run 'dpkg'?
[11:58] <JW> davegoodson - yes, synaptic
[11:58] <Farhad> dooglus, yes
[11:58] <goonies> is sata considered a scsi drive?
[11:58] <GlassCasket> Is there any way I can setup my wireless in the Ubuntu live CD?
[11:58] <GlassCasket> goonies: Yes.
[11:58] <dooglus> Farhad: you can use dpkg to install whatever packages you need to fix apt-get - any idea how you broke it?
[11:58] <dli> goonies, read the config ( I didn't check initrd support) http://pastebin.ca/101435
[11:59] <davegoodson> JW: will that fix my problems with skype also? because i can't seem to get any sound from that either
[11:59] <cerberus> bobbyw, thanks turns out there's an option in the gdm.conf file
[11:59] <bl3ssing> which linux version's the BEST? can anyone tell me?
[11:59] <bl3ssing> even I'm downloading now kubuntu 6, still asking ... which linux version's the best!
[11:59] <Farhad> dooglus, maybe , I upgraded it to egdy version,
[11:59] <m3talc0re> how the hell do i install new fonts?
[11:59] <cerberus> bl3ssing, dumb question, depends on what you want
[11:59] <Renan_s2> bl3ssing, try this link: http://www.zegeniestudios.net/ldc/index.php
[12:00] <dli> goonies, make sure you " make oldconfig" , if you want to use the one I posted
[12:00] <JW> davegoodson - if it does not work after adding alsa-oss, "sudo gedit /usr/bin/firefox" and look to have this (aoss) MOZ_PROGRAM="aoss ${MOZ_DIST_BIN}/firefox-bin"
[12:00] <Renan_s2> there is a test to select what distro is best for you
[12:00] <dli> bl3ssing, the latest 2.6.17.7
[12:00] <davegoodson> JW: oki thanks :)
[12:00] <GlassCasket> bl3ssing: It's all preference man, download some live CD and check them out. :)
[12:00] <goonies> dli it auto loaded with the old .config thats stored in usr/src/linux
