[12:01] <sorush20> hi guys I keep getting this message.. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19211
[12:01] <ptley> linux virus scanners are good for scanning emails if you have it as a file server and for diagnosing windows computers... but I've never actually scanned linux.
[12:01] <timmy2> FurryNemesisL suggestions on possible solution?
[12:01] <welp[server] > anyone know? i'm using the 6.06 CD
[12:01] <angel> It's supposedly a redhat driver... Is that a problem?
[12:01] <ptley> angel: you probably don't want to install closed source rpms on ubuntu
[12:02] <FurryNemesis> timmy2, run memtest for now, if no probs then if you can format the partition you're trying to install on at ext3 and try again
[12:02] <angel> ptley: what's closed source?
[12:02] <angel> sorry if I sound stupid...
[12:02] <ptley> angel: you could use alien to convert it to a deb and then use dpkg -i avast.deb, but then it would complain about dependencies
[12:02] <Wodger> can't you just use clam? if you really must have a virus checker?
[12:02] <Wodger> i think that name is correct
[12:02] <timmy2> FurryNemesisL ok ill go try it ill be back in a few
[12:03] <DrBashir2> Wodger: I dont think angel is going to run a file server on linux for a while ;) no pun intended
[12:03] <ptley> wodger: yea, it is either clam or clamwav
[12:03] <ptley> wodger: er... clamav
[12:03] <sorush20> how do I find out what other program is using the backend for apt-get ?
[12:04] <rabeldable> what are the dapper sources list locations ?
[12:04] <rabeldable> can someone running dapper please do the following for me:
[12:04] <sproingie> ptley: i imagine scanning linux wouldnt do much good.  malware on unix usually goes straight for kernel rootkit stuff
[12:04] <Wodger> i've used it on a mac as experment though like linux its of very limited value
[12:04] <ptley> angel: yea you can install "ClamAv"
[12:04] <rabeldable> send me the contents of this file:  /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:04] <ProN00b> does wine currently run photoshop ?
[12:04] <farous> !easysource rabeldable
[12:04] <ubotu> I know nothing about easysource rabeldable - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:04] <ardchoille> !easysource > rabeldable
[12:05] <farous> !easysource > rabeldable
[12:05] <angel> DrBashir2: Im not doing much on Linux for a while...
[12:05] <angel> Just started a week ago...
[12:05] <NautiluX> i have problems with wine!
[12:05] <NautiluX> :/
[12:05] <ptley> I know, it would be better to install tripwire and snort and all that if you really wanted malware defense.
[12:05] <erider> Is there webcam support for ubuntu 64?
[12:05] <DrBashir2> angel: we al started that way ;)
[12:06] <sproingie> ptley: probably better yet to install pax or selinux for malware defense
[12:06] <bulio> Does 6.06 properly support CD-Rom drive detection?
[12:06] <ptley> erider: sort of, I got an "Ezonics" webcam working with a kernel module.
[12:06] <DrBashir2> angel: I'm starting out myself as well
[12:06] <bulio> The only one that can properly detect my is warty
[12:06] <FurryNemesis> bulio, I think so
[12:06] <Warbo> bulio: If the BIOS finds it hten usually
[12:07] <FurryNemesis> bulio, have you tried upgrading your firmware?
[12:07] <bulio> for bios?
[12:07] <rabeldable> thanks for that link I hope thats official
[12:07] <bulio> no this is what happens:
[12:07] <bulio> I have 2 CD-Rom drives, one is detected by bios (primary) the other is not
[12:07] <bulio> when I boot 5.10, it boots fine and all
[12:07] <farous> rabeldable: it will tell you what are official repos and what are community recommended ones
[12:08] <erider> ptley: I'm new to ubuntu 64. Is this module hard to do?
[12:08] <angel> How 'bout that driver... I have a few tar.gz files... How do I install them?
[12:08] <bulio> but when I'm installing the base system, I get a debootstrapt error
[12:08] <A[D] minS> Nighty all
[12:08] <ptley> erider: what is the model of the webcam you are trying to get working
[12:08] <Warbo> bulio: Maybe jumper settings or something. Try swapping around a few cables, I eventually got 2CDROMs and a hard drive to work (only had 3 connections anyway 'cos a wire had broke)
[12:08] <bulio> the only way to fix it is to remove the CD from the detected drive, into the other drive
[12:08] <xbehave> whats the difference between distros? apart from if they come with kde/gnome/xfe and the software that comes with them
[12:08] <bulio> Warbo: Its like my cdrom drive isn't detected
[12:09] <FurryNemesis> xbehave, better hardware support, mostly
[12:09] <farous> xbehave: distrowatch.com
[12:09] <Mandalf> I have done the command: sudo rm -rf /
[12:09] <rabeldable> the dapper install cd is broken for my hardware
[12:09] <bulio> So it isnt the CD
[12:09] <DrBashir2> bulio: is it an option just to disconnect the drive, install ubuntu, the worry about detection of it?
[12:09] <bulio> Is it possible to remove the 6.06 install CD while it is installing and pop it in the other drive?
[12:09] <Bonez56> Mandalf: ok
[12:10] <bulio> DrBashir2: Tried it, the whole system won't power on if I remove it
[12:10] <zazeem> how can i add /dev/gdc1 partition in fstab so i can see and add files to that partition? please help!
[12:10] <Warbo> bulio: i doubt it, since the drive gets locked closed, and the only way to release it is to stop using the CDROM (in other words, cancel the install)
[12:10] <bulio> its like it looses where my CD-rom is
[12:10] <zazeem> hdc1*
[12:10] <bulio> I know
[12:10] <bulio> and it boots fine
[12:10] <erider> ptley: It says it is a ViewCam Globe from a4tech
[12:10] <farous> Mandalf: if you are kidding there are newbies here if not than you never learn for free :)
[12:10] <bulio> but debootstrap error when installing packages, unless I put the CD in the other drive
[12:10] <Warbo> !fstab
[12:11] <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
[12:11] <Mandalf> farous: A guy told me that in a forum
[12:11] <zazeem> Warbo: i already was sent there i dont uderstand a thign in it im a nub, can you guide me? gatekeeper was but he had to go
[12:11] <Mandalf> farous: Hes a bitch
[12:11] <Warbo> Mandalf: If he tells you something else, I wouldn't do it :)
[12:12] <xbehave> whats the difference between installing kubuntu and switching ubuntu to running kde?
[12:12] <ardchoille> Mandalf: Never run a command as sudo without either trusting the person or reading the man page
[12:12] <Warbo> zazeem: "gksudo gedit /etc/fstab" for a start
[12:12] <bulio> Is it possible to remove the 6.06 CD during install?
[12:12] <bulio> I can with the 4.10 CD
[12:12] <Mandalf> ardchoille: He told me that after
[12:12] <ptley> erider: it is the same module that I am using, spca5xx
[12:12] <farous> xbehave:it is the same. if you wana try both gnome and kde you can do that
[12:12] <Mandalf> I used it...
[12:12] <Warbo> xbehave: You have more space being used unless you remove GNOME
[12:12] <zazeem> Warbo: im there
[12:13] <Warbo> zazeem: Do you know the options you want to give it (like type, mount point, etc.)?
[12:13] <xbehave> can i also run the lightweight 1 xfce (the 1 in xubuntu)
[12:13] <farous> Mandalf: hardluck now you are wiser to use the main help pages or read before you take an advise :)
[12:13] <jmichaelx> farous: back
[12:13] <farous> jmichaelx: welcome back
[12:13] <DrBashir2> bulio, why not restart installation?
[12:13] <Warbo> xbehave: Yes, just choose your session at the login screen (after installing the package)
[12:13] <Warbo> !cli > Mandalf
[12:13] <Mandalf> farous: Yepp. I reistalled my ubuntu
[12:14] <Shak-> I need a little help getting samba to work... i've set it up, when I access smb://networkip I see the share name, but when I attempt to open the folder I see a "folder contents could not be displayed error" (in nautilus)
[12:14] <Warbo> Mandalf: If you learn the commands you will realise what they do next time :)
[12:14] <ptley> erider: try sudo modprobe spca5xx
[12:14] <zazeem> Warbo: no i dont know a thing about how to do that, i want it to be just for space so i an store things on it.  I have one hard drive 40 gb and for some reason ubuntu only installed on 17gb instead of all i have another 18gb partition not being used at all
[12:14] <jmichaelx> farous: ok, i am in 386
[12:14] <Mandalf> Warbo: Yesyes. I know
[12:14] <farous> jmichaelx: great
[12:14] <Mandalf> Let me play a game now?
[12:14] <erider> ptley: should I plug it in?
[12:14] <farous> jmichaelx: sudo aptitude purge linux-image-2.6.15-26-686
[12:15] <ptley> erider: after you load the module, plug it in, then type dmesg to see if it works
[12:15] <Warbo> zazeem: OK. Well, fist thing is what format is the drive in? Ext3? FAT32? Something else?
[12:15] <farous> jmichaelx: if that is the one you want to remove
[12:15] <bulio> DrBashir2: wont work
[12:15] <farous> jmichaelx: then sudo aptitude install it again
[12:15] <bulio> I will get the same error
[12:15] <erider> ptley: ok thanks :)
[12:15] <ptley> erider: your model supposedly works better than mine
[12:15] <farous> jmichaelx: try to use an ethernet connection and a good mirror for the repos
[12:16] <xbehave> i use 2 keyboards, will ubuntu be able to be set up to run this?
[12:16] <erider> ptley: we see
[12:16] <crazy_penguin> good night
[12:16] <Warbo> crazy_penguin: Yes it is
[12:16] <zazeem> Warbo: i think its in ext3, how do i check?
[12:16] <DrBashir2> bulio: So, if you would shutdown your pc, disconnect the cdrom that is troublesome, then put the ubuntu cd in the other drive, it will still give you the same error?
[12:16] <erider> ptley: I did the command it doen't look like it did anything
[12:17] <unfun> !mp3
[12:17] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  -  See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html  -  But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[12:17] <erider> ptley: is that how it works
[12:17] <farous> xbehave: why not use the livecd to check ubuntu then make a decision this way you do not have to install the os will run from your cd
[12:17] <jmichaelx> farous: i have a feeling this is all going to lead to me having to reinstall kubuntu yet again
[12:17] <Warbo> zazeem: Well it is usually a good idea to mount the drive manually first, then once every option has been decided, add them to fstab. In a terminal try "sudo mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt"
[12:17] <ptley> erider: yep, type dmesg to see the messages from doing that
[12:17] <zazeem> Warbo: pk
[12:18] <farous> jmichaelx: the linux-image is the kernel part of the os. So long you have one linux-image package installed you do not have to worry
[12:18] <Warbo> zazeem: After you have done that, and there are no errors, try just "mount" on it's own, and it should tell you the format
[12:18] <zazeem> Warbo: zazeem@zazilla:~$ sudo mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt
[12:18] <zazeem> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[12:18] <erider> ptley: is long what I'm I looking for
[12:18] <ptley> erider: it should say something like: usbcore: registered new driver spca5xx at the end
[12:18] <bulio> DrBashir2: If I try that, my PC doesn't power on
[12:18] <farous> jmichaelx: that is why i asked you if you have another image and that is why i also asked you to log in using it
[12:18] <bulio> its an emachines
[12:18] <Warbo> zazeem: Do you know how to use a pastebin?
[12:18] <xbehave> ive used the live cd well the xubuntu and the old ubuntu 1 the thing is due to my 2 monitors i cant find out how well ubuntu works without installing it (and to install it i have to go the 3 hrs of m$ bull to install xp 1st)
[12:18] <jmichaelx> farous: ok
[12:18] <zazeem> Warbo: yes
[12:18] <DrBashir2> bulio:  a what?
[12:19] <jmichaelx> farous: ok, 686 is gone
[12:19] <rabeldable> dapper installer is totally broken
[12:19] <Warbo> zazeem: OK, can you pastebin the output of "fdisk -l" please
[12:19] <erider> ptley: got it
[12:19] <farous> jmichaelx: ok reinstall it again
[12:19] <Bonez56> xbehave: what 3 hours of ms bs?
[12:19] <zazeem> Warbo: here it is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19209
[12:19] <Warbo> bulio: I have an eMachines, and don;t really like it
[12:19] <jmichaelx> sudo apt-get install linux-686?
[12:19] <erider> ptley: but you know what I don't think gaim supports webcams :(
[12:19] <farous> jmichaelx: sudo aptitude install linux-image-2.6.15-26-686
[12:20] <Rhys> It would be cool to have a ubuntu live cd that worked with all the functionality of ubuntu and saved all files to a USB drive
[12:20] <xbehave> installing xp then patching it so that i know how big it will be
[12:20] <DrBashir2> bulio: A pc from here? http://www.emachines.com/
[12:20] <farous> jmichaelx: or sudo apt-get install linux-image-686
[12:20] <mwe> I think gaim2 beta supports webcams though
[12:20] <Bonez56> xbehave: just allow 10gb or something for ntfs
[12:20] <zazeem> Warbo: heres my fstab as well http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19208
[12:20] <Tamale> rhys:  I think the ubuntu install disc is a live disc as well?
[12:20] <ptley> erider: yea, they have been doing a video and voice fork of gaim for quite some time
[12:21] <DrBashir2> Rhys: Its open source, so you can make it so if you want ;) :P
[12:21] <Rhys> yea but it only really gives a preview  to get the most from it you need to install
[12:21] <farous> xbehave: depending on your card setting dual display might take some time
[12:21] <Ep0cs> how do you execute .run files in dapper?
[12:21] <erider> ptley: do I need to apt-get something to make that work?
[12:21] <mwe> Ep0cs: chmod +x itfirst
[12:21] <Ep0cs> k
[12:21] <Rhys> i wonder if someone will make a portable ubuntu
[12:21] <ardchoille> Ep0cs: sh file.run
[12:21] <unfun> I just reinstalled ubuntu, what should I install to make my intel soundcard work?
[12:21] <bulio> DrBashir2: yes, an emachines etower 533i
[12:21] <Warbo> zazeem: OK, well hdc1 may not have been formatted at all. Do you have any data or files on it, or would it be OK to format it now?
[12:21] <Ep0cs> thanks
[12:21] <bulio> pretty old
[12:21] <mwe> ardchoille: that wont work if it's a binary file
[12:22] <Rhys> pubuntu :)
[12:22] <crimsun> unfun: pastebin the output from ``amixer''
[12:22] <ardchoille> mwe: It works for me when I do it
[12:22] <crimsun> unfun: then tell me the URL
[12:22] <DrBashir2> why wont it boot though without that particular cd drive?
[12:22] <mwe> ardchoille: not if it's a binary file
[12:22] <unfun> crimsun, I don't understand?
[12:22] <ardchoille> mwe: ok
[12:22] <Rhys> or knubuntu (knoppix) :)
[12:22] <Warbo> Rhys: Isn't pubuntu a Chinese distro?
[12:22] <zazeem> Warbo: it would be fine to format now
[12:22] <Rhys> is it?
[12:22] <zazeem> Warbo: I have nothign on it
[12:22] <mwe> ardchoille: it only works with scripts or binary files that has a script part at the beginning
[12:22] <farous> jmichaelx: still there
[12:22] <ptley> erider: there is a binary package of gaim-vv from http://gaim-vv.sourceforge.net/install.html
[12:23] <farous> jmichaelx: for i got to go soon
[12:23] <DrBashir2> bulio:  why wont it boot though without that particular cd drive?
[12:23] <jmichaelx> farous: i'm still here
[12:23] <Rhys> does anyone use other linux OSs here
[12:23] <bulio> DrBashir2: CD1: boots fine
[12:23] <xbehave> farous ive seen a tutorial that was pretty much what i needed. its an nvidia, just out of intrest are any distros particually good for multiple monitor functionality?
[12:23] <farous> jmichaelx: did you install the 686 image
[12:23] <ardchoille> mwe: as I said, it works for me here
[12:23] <Shak-> does samba have trouble accessing NTFS partitions?
[12:23] <bulio> DrBashir2: CD2, just boots to hard drive
[12:23] <Warbo> zazeem: OK. I see you have an NTFS drive in fstab, do you want the partition to be accessible from Windows (FAT32) or would a Linux-only filesystem be OK (ext3)?
[12:23] <jmichaelx> farous: i am installing it now
[12:23] <ptley> erider: you'd need to download, chmod +x gaim-vv-1.2.0.x86.package, and then sudo ./gaim-vv-1.2.0.x86.package
[12:23] <Ep0cs> now it says input password
[12:23] <erider> ptley: ok I will have a look thanks
[12:23] <farous> jmichaelx: ok
[12:23] <bulio> DrBashir2: When I try installing, it hangs when installing pacakges, cant find thre ubuntu cd
[12:23] <zazeem> Warbo: linux only is good i only use ubuntu
[12:23] <bulio> even though its in
[12:23] <mwe> ardchoille: try sh /bin/ls
[12:23] <farous> xbehave: all distro are pretty the same in that context
[12:24] <Peregrino> Hi all!
[12:24] <crimsun> unfun: open a Terminal, type ``amixer'', and paste its output onto http://pastebin.ca . Then tell me the URL.
[12:24] <Rhys> will a 5 gig parition on my HD be good to use for ubuntu
[12:24] <Warbo> zazeem: OK the, "sudo mkfs.ext2 -j /dev/hdc1" will format it to ext2 with a journal (otherwise known as ext3)
[12:24] <farous> xbehave: but as you may have well known ubuntu is one of the really good distro specially for new users of linux like you
[12:24] <jmichaelx> farous: ok, ready, should i reboot to 686 again?
[12:24] <Shak-> anyone? I can share my ext3 partition fine but samba wont open the ntfs partition when I share it
[12:24] <zazeem> Warbo: ok ill do it now :)
[12:24] <farous> jmichaelx: wait
[12:24] <jmichaelx> ok
[12:24] <DrBashir2> ah so CD2 isn't recognized by the bios, and CD1  is giving the trouble in ubuntu install
[12:24] <farous> jmichaelx: check if the file is there first
[12:24] <ptley> Rhys: with 5 gigs, you should set synaptic up not to cache downloads
[12:25] <zazeem> Warbo: ok done now what?
[12:25] <farous> jmichaelx: try ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.15-26-686/kernel/drivers/net/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko
[12:25] <farous> or just use the browser to check it is there
[12:25] <DrBashir2> bulio: as in, you cant boot from CD2 then?
[12:25] <Warbo> zazeem: Try the "sudo mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt" command again
[12:25] <ptley> Rhys: by default it keeps them and you will run out of space with things that you installed but then removed
[12:25] <jmichaelx> farous: yes, it is there
[12:25] <zazeem> Warbo: this is what it did zazeem@zazilla:~$ sudo mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt
[12:25] <zazeem> zazeem@zazilla:~$
[12:26] <farous> jmichaelx: great
[12:26] <agresor> configure: error: "Cannot find glib"
[12:26] <agresor> can i install glib via apt-get ?
[12:26] <unfun> crimesun, here is the url http://pastebin.ca/105814
[12:26] <crimsun> agresor: what app are you trying to compile?
[12:26] <Warbo> zazeem: Seems to have worked then. Where would you like to put the partition permanently. For example, I keep my personal data in a partition at /home/chris/Files
[12:26] <agresor> anyone.. :S
[12:26] <ptley> although I have linux running on a 512 mb flash drive so anything is possible
[12:26] <farous> jmichaelx: so you have the module now. try ndiswrapper again and do not use a script for that do it manually
[12:26] <mwe> agresor: apt-cache search -n libglib
[12:27] <erider> ptley: will that gaim work on turion 64? I have been finding that I have been having packages issues with this ubuntu version
[12:27] <Rhys_> will 5GB be a good paition for ubuntu
[12:27] <jmichaelx> farous: should i reboot into 686 first?
[12:27] <agresor> mwe,  and installing all that ?
[12:27] <agresor> what found. ?
[12:27] <zazeem> Warbo: can i get it in hom/zazeem/files
[12:27] <farous> jmichaelx: yap if that is the image you normally use
[12:27] <zazeem> Warbo: can i get it in home/zazeem/files
[12:27] <ptley> ptley: you can always compile from source
[12:27] <zazeem> Warbo: left out the e in home :/
[12:27] <jmichaelx> farous: ill be back again in a sec
[12:27] <Warbo> 5GB for / is usually OK for ages, unless you install Windows games or something. Personal files may obviously become huge
[12:27] <ptley> erider: you can always compile from source
[12:28] <Max007> Hi, i have a problem with wifi under 6.06 ... all settings are ok , but it doesn't connect
[12:28] <crimsun> unfun: amixer set 'Surround' on && amixer set 'Center' on && amixer set 'LFE' on
[12:28] <Warbo> zazeem: That's fine. First make sure the folder exists, so if it doesn't then create it now
[12:28] <mwe> agresor: only the two -dev packages or the one you need
[12:28] <zazeem> Warbo: i just made it
[12:28] <Tamale> Hi!  Is there anything like logmein.com that works for ubuntu ?:
[12:28] <mwe> agresor: libglib1.2-dev and/or libglib2-dev
[12:29] <Tamale> I'm behing routers I cannot control and would really like to be able to control my pc remotely
[12:29] <DrBashir2> Rhys: Ive recently installed ubuntu without any crazy packages or anything, and its using 2.3 GiB
[12:29] <zazeem> Warbo: its made i checked :)
[12:29] <erider> ptley: I going to try the package first. what do you think?
[12:29] <Rhys_> will splinter cell pandora tomorrow work on ubuntu
[12:29] <Warbo> zazeem: "sudo umount /mnt" should unmount it from /mnt, so you can mount it on /home/zazeem/files, but we may as well add it to fstab right now. I will just write up a line for it
[12:29] <unfun> crimesun should my sound work now?
[12:29] <funkmaster> hey ppl :)
[12:29] <ptley> erider: I always try the package first, then compiling, then trying to patch the source and compiling... then trying to use autoconf...
[12:29] <Rhys_> what programs are you using to get on irc
[12:29] <funkmaster> i got a question on cvs
[12:29] <funkmaster> how to grab a specific CVS date from a source?
[12:30] <Bonez56> Rhys_: irssi or xchat
[12:30] <DrBashir2> Rhys: I use konversation
[12:30] <zazeem> Warbo: thank you very much, people like you make me feel good that i have ubuntu, i can actually get help :)
[12:30] <funkmaster> from the command line, does any1 know?
[12:30] <crimsun> unfun: not necessarily, particularly if it's an HDA chipset.
[12:30] <KurtKraut> How can I change the MAC ADDRESS of a ethernet card over Ubuntu ?
[12:30] <operativ1> can anyone recommend a usb-sound card that plays nicely with ubuntu?
[12:30] <Jack_Sparrow> Konversation here too
[12:30] <crimsun> unfun: please try, though.
[12:30] <crimsun> operativ1: most of them should.
[12:30] <Warbo> zazeem: " /dev/hdc1/home/zazeem/filesext3defaults,rw,uid=zazeem     00" Should work
[12:30] <erider> ptley: yeah I have to try the package route I'm not that advance with linux yet :)
[12:30] <crimsun> operativ1: (they all use the same driver)
[12:30] <operativ1> KurtKraut: ifconfig <interface> hw ether <mac address>
[12:30] <zazeem> Warbo: ok thanks a lot :)
[12:30] <zazeem> Warbo: ill try it
[12:30] <unfun> crimesun, my sound works, thank you, very, very much
[12:30] <crimsun> unfun: excellent :)
[12:31] <Rhys_> i use xchat (i know a guy called bones on a game called blockland)
[12:31] <KurtKraut> operativ1, thanks a lot
[12:31] <gakt> hello
[12:31] <Warbo> zazeem: Mess around with the spaces until they line up properly, then save the file and try "sudo mount -a" and check "mount" to see if it has been mounted
[12:31] <operativ1> crimsun: how can they all use the same driver> thats very odd, because that implies they all use the same chipsets?
[12:31] <zazeem> Warbo: spaces?
[12:31] <operativ1> or is there some standard I missed?
[12:31] <ptley> erider: compiling packages is pretty simple.  It is a lot easier if they have sources already in dapper, because then you can use apt-get build-dep and apt-get source
[12:31] <crimsun> operativ1: it's the usb audio standard.
[12:31] <Rhys_> bye going to play blockland now
[12:31] <Warbo> zazeem: I mean the layout of that line, since the number of spaces in it may make it look weird :)
[12:32] <zazeem> Warbo o ok thanks :)
[12:32] <crimsun> operativ1: granted many manufacturers don't adhere to the spec, so we have to hardcode quirks into the driver...
[12:32] <gakt> i'm trying to set up a apache server.  i want to make it so that i can connect locally to the folder  (/var/www/) using samba to edit/delete files, but have it remain read only online.  but i think im getting conflicting problems
[12:32] <jmichaelx> farous: back, here we go...
[12:32] <zazeem> Warbo: do i have to restart x to see if fstab works?
[12:32] <operativ1> ah cool
[12:32] <farous> jmichaelx: lsmod |grep ndiswrapper
[12:33] <goonies> zazeem, reboot
[12:33] <jmichaelx> farous: no response
[12:33] <farous> jmichaelx: as i told you before though i do not know how to run the wifi card with ndiswrapper
[12:33] <Warbo> zazeem: "sudo mount -a" will mount whatever is in fstab, but then could you see if it is listed when running "mount" on it's own, and if so please see if you can save files to it, since I want to be sure of the permissions
[12:33] <farous> jmichaelx: so it is not loaded
[12:33] <jmichaelx> farous: that is ok, i think we have made progress
[12:33] <operativ1> still, if anyone can reccomend a particular solution, then I can get it *knowing* it will work, the main reason is I have a inspiron1300 and I cant get the microphone to work
[12:33] <farous> jmichaelx: you can load it sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[12:33] <unfun> When I try to install xine it says it's unavailable, why?
[12:33] <gakt> what sort of settings would i need for this.  (samba read/write locally  but read only to public online)
[12:33] <zazeem> Warbo: ok :) ill try it all now
[12:33] <erider> ptley: does it only work with yahoo or msn too?
[12:33] <crimsun> unfun: you need to enable universe & multiverse, too
[12:33] <zazeem> Warbo: zazeem@zazilla:~$ sudo mount -a
[12:33] <zazeem> mount: mount point /home/zazeem/filesext3defaults,rw,uid=zazeem does not exist
[12:33] <zazeem> mount: special device /dev/hdd1 does not exist
[12:33] <lophyte> anyone know if any video encoding/conversion software? like a frontend to mencoder/ffmpeg?
[12:34] <jmichaelx> farous: modprobe gave me: FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.15-26-686/kernel/drivers/net/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko): Invalid argument
[12:34] <roostishaw> anyone, what bash command can i use to insert a block of text into test.txt starting at line 4 ?
[12:34] <unfun> ohhh, yeah ofcourse
[12:34] <Warbo> unfun: Try using an interface to APT, like Synaptic or Aptitude, then you can search for packages, which eliminates many problems
[12:34] <crimsun> operativ1: well, that may be overkill. Which driver are you currently using?
[12:34] <farous> jmichaelx: then it needs other modules or confilict with installed modules
[12:34] <bbrazil> roostishaw: sed -e '4s/^/your_text\n/'
[12:34] <rabeldable> ok thats final.... ubuntu has taken a step back and I will not be upgrading yet
[12:34] <jmichaelx> farous: the more i use linux the more i hate it
[12:34] <ptley> erider: MSN = "Intellectual Property"
[12:34] <farous> jmichaelx: and at this point i do not think i can  be of any help
[12:34] <bbrazil> roostishaw: see also, sed -i
[12:35] <roostishaw> bbrazil, thank you
[12:35] <rabeldable> stupid installer can't even see my hard drive
[12:35] <Warbo> zazeem: I thought you made that folder? (Check it is in lowercase, since Linux is case sensitive)
[12:35] <operativ1> crimsun:  Card: HDA Intel   Chip: SigmaTel STAC9200
[12:35] <zazeem> Warbo: ok
[12:35] <farous> jmichaelx: lol for printer scanner, modems and wifi you will hate it
[12:35] <rabeldable> but I have breezy installed and running no problem... hrm...
[12:35] <jmichaelx> farous: all this means is that i have to reinstall again
[12:35] <crimsun> operativ1: ah, yeah, the infamous 92xx.
[12:35] <farous> jmichaelx: otherwise you should not
[12:35] <operativ1> :S
[12:35] <Jack_Sparrow> rabeldable: what type of hard drive
[12:35] <farous> jmichaelx: nope
[12:35] <erider> ptley: so does the meant the msn will not work?
[12:35] <Warbo> rabeldable: I don't like the graphical installer, it can't do as much as the text one, even though there is so much more potential
[12:35] <crimsun> operativ1: are you using 2.6.15-26.45?
[12:35] <farous> jmichaelx: it means you need to lookup a good howto
[12:35] <farous> !ndiswrapper
[12:35] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[12:36] <crimsun> operativ1: dpkg -l linux-image-$(uname -r) |grep ^ii |awk '{ print $2 }'
[12:36] <k0shi> anyone know anything about the OS PHLAK?
[12:36] <farous> jmichaelx: look at ubotu link
[12:36] <operativ1> crimsun: :P
[12:36] <k0shi> I know this is an ubuntu channel
[12:36] <crimsun> operativ1: err, sorry, that should be 3, not 2
[12:36] <zazeem> Warbo: it is in lowercase but there is a lock on the folder, i already mounted it to that foldr before addding that line to fstab
[12:36] <rabeldable> Jack_Sparrow, don't know what kind of drive
[12:36] <k0shi> no one is responding in PHLACK
[12:36] <operativ1> 2.6.15-26
[12:36] <operativ1> its ok crimsun I ignored you anyway :P
[12:36] <jmichaelx> farous: i have spent hours and hours looking at those docs, and they helped create this mess
[12:36] <rabeldable> I have a Toshiba M65-S9065
[12:36] <Sarra_> I need quick help
[12:36] <Sarra_> I need to manually edit grub
[12:36] <Warbo> zazeem: Try unmounting it and trying again (sudo umount /home/zazeem/files)
[12:36] <HAMMERSWIFE> hey all how the heck do i find my xchat download folder?
[12:36] <rabeldable> breezy installed on it just fine... no dapper thou
[12:36] <Sarra_> !grub
[12:36] <Jack_Sparrow> rabeldable: so we more than a stupid installer program
[12:36] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[12:36] <operativ1> thats was overkill when a uname would do the job :P
[12:37] <roostishaw> bbrazil, but that's not perminant. i did: sed -e '4s/^/testing\n/' sandbox/test
[12:37] <sorush20> I can't find any of my printers
[12:37] <farous> crimsun: you had a repos for the braodcom card right ?
[12:37] <crimsun> operativ1: no, uname is insufficient, since I need the actual packaging revision, which uname doesn't reveal.
[12:37] <crimsun> farous: no.
[12:37] <bbrazil> roostishaw: did you check out -i?
[12:37] <Jack_Sparrow> !broadcom
[12:37] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[12:37] <erider> ptley: I don't use yahoo. do you know of any other msn clients that webcam will work with?
[12:37] <farous> crimsun: sorry then i mistaken you withsomeone else then
[12:37] <operativ1> ok,
[12:37] <Sarra_> Is there a way to edit GRUB inside of Ubuntu? I need to add an entry for FreeBSD
[12:37] <rabeldable> this is an installer problem and its simple to see.... breezy installed and dapper doesn't
[12:37] <farous> cafeagu perhaps
[12:37] <roostishaw> bbrazil, how would i do that? man sed ?
[12:37] <Jack_Sparrow> uname -a
[12:37] <jmichaelx> if i see that link to those docs one more time, i am throwing this laptop into a dumpster
[12:37] <ptley> erider: I think you can get gaim to work with MSN, but anytime microsoft decides to update their protocol, it will be broken again
[12:37] <crimsun> Sarra_: sure, just use your favourite editor.
[12:37] <bbrazil> roostishaw: yip
[12:37] <operativ1> 2.6.15-26.45
[12:37] <Warbo> Sarra_: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[12:38] <Peregrino> Hi all! Need some spiritual aid with an Ubuntu install =D
[12:38] <ptley> erider: the best is jabber anyway, imho
[12:38] <crimsun> operativ1: ok, good. Now please pastebin your ``amixer'' output.
[12:38] <Sarra_> Thanks Warbo, crimsun
[12:38] <operativ1> sure
[12:38] <gakt> anyone free to answer a question?
[12:38] <HAMMERSWIFE> can anyone pls tell me where to find my xchat download folder?
[12:38] <rabeldable> if your wondering why I don't know what kind of hard drive I have. i'm installing on a laptop and I don't want to take it apart to find out
[12:38] <farous> jmichaelx: you can just wait for the new ubuntu dist edgy or just lookup a good howto
[12:38] <Warbo> Peregrino: "sudo apt-get install enlightenment" :)
[12:38] <rabeldable> I think I'll try fedora
[12:38] <erider> ptley: jabber does msn too?
[12:38] <farous> sorry could not be of more help
[12:38] <zazeem> Warbo: i get the same error, in the error though it says /dev/hdd1 its /dev/hdc1
[12:38] <gakt> im trying to get my apache folder (/var/www)  be read/write on my local network through samba for editing, but have it say viewable read only on the web.  i think my settings are conflicting, what would the proper way to do this be?
[12:39] <jmichaelx> farous: i will have to wait for edgy....the howtos all suck badly
[12:39] <ptley> ptley: jabber is a whole different network, like yahoo or msn
[12:39] <operativ1> crimsun: http://pastebin.ca/105832
[12:39] <ptley> er.. erider:
[12:39] <farous> jmichaelx: one more thing did ndiswrapper work on the old linux-image, linux-image-2.6.15-25
[12:39] <jmichaelx> i wish i had never looked at any of those howto docs
[12:39] <HAMMERSWIFE> hello?
[12:39] <Warbo> zazeem: That /dev/hdd1 is a seperate line in the fstab file. You can put a "#" at the beginning of that line to disable it if the drive is no longer there
[12:39] <jmichaelx> farous: i never tried
[12:39] <roostishaw> bbrazil, so: sed -i[4]  's/^/TEXTHERE\n/' sandbox/test ?
[12:39] <HAMMERSWIFE> can someone pls tell me where to find my xchat d/l?
[12:39] <zazeem> Warbo: k dunno why its not working
[12:39] <erider> ptley: ah ok I see
[12:39] <farous> jmichaelx: you told me it worked at first. and that was the linux image when ubuntu first came out
[12:39] <operativ1> HAMMERSWIFE: google? man?
[12:39] <WelfareQueen> I'm trying to do a raid setup. Anyone care to listen and maybe help my hapless butt?
[12:40] <farous> jmichaelx: so perhaps using it would help
[12:40] <crimsun> operativ1: ok, try changing the parameter for 'Capture Mux'
[12:40] <jmichaelx> farous: i got this wireless working about 2 weeks ago
[12:40] <Peregrino> Warbo: Will that help me in my quest?? XDD I'm needing someone to guide me a little on what i'm trying to do
[12:40] <zoredache> WelfareQueen, software, or hardware raid?
[12:40] <crimsun> operativ1: it's currently set to 4, so you'll want to try the values 0, 1, 2, and 3.
[12:40] <operativ1> crimsun: how do I change mate?
[12:40] <WelfareQueen> hardware, 3 devices
[12:40] <jmichaelx> farous: and i worked until i crashed my X very badly
[12:40] <bbrazil> roostishaw: why the [4]  ?
[12:40] <ardchoille> HAMMERSWIFE:  ~/.xchat/downloads/ ?
[12:40] <Bonez56> I have a HP2410 printer, and I have it installed in CUPS and it works fine. However, is there any way I can choose print quality? It always prints out in very good quality and wastes all my ink :(
[12:40] <HAMMERSWIFE> yes
[12:40] <crimsun> operativ1: amixer set 'Capture Mux' 0
[12:40] <Warbo> Peregrino: That will install a window manager called Enlightenment (whic is, incidentally, the one I use) but it probably won't help an install :)
[12:40] <HAMMERSWIFE> but how to get there
[12:40] <sproingie> gakt: setfacl would handle revoking apache's ability to write to the dir.  i don't have setfacl myself, so i dont guess ubuntu has it standard either
[12:40] <zazeem> Warbo: zazeem@zazilla:~$ sudo mount -a
[12:40] <zazeem> mount: mount point /home/zazeem/filesext3 does not exist
[12:41] <DrBashir2> bbrazil: you wanted to start at line 4?
[12:41] <operativ1> cool, thanks
[12:41] <roostishaw> bbrazil, i thought thats where i told it the line... :(  im looking at the man page now
[12:41] <crimsun> operativ1: then test if you can hear what you record. If it doesn't work, repeat for the values of 1-3.
[12:41] <Jack_Sparrow> WelfareQueen: Are those SATA drives?
[12:41] <jmichaelx> farous: i do thank you for all of your time
[12:41] <unfun> Wich program should I use for extracting rar., .zip?
[12:41] <farous> jmichaelx: i know how you feel my friend sorry i could not be of more help. but i gave up on ndiswrapper long time ago
[12:41] <ardchoille> HAMMERSWIFE: type cd ~/.xchat/downloads
[12:41] <bbrazil> roostishaw: no, the lin number goes before the 's', check the 'addressing' section
[12:41] <farous> :)

[12:41] <operativ1> no joy with 0-4
[12:41] <Warbo> zazeem: Looks like the spaces I was going on about seem to be a little screwed. Try to make sure each bit of the line is seperated properly (look at the other lines to see by how much)
[12:41] <bulio> Would Ubuntu auto-detect a wireless USB adapter?
[12:41] <unfun> !ark
[12:41] <ubotu> I know nothing about ark - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Peregrino: not a good choive
[12:42] <bulio> an SMC made usb adapter
[12:42] <zazeem> Warbo: ok
[12:42] <Warbo> Peregrino: I would say yes, but definetly not with the desktop CD
[12:42] <jmichaelx> how unstable is edgy right now?
[12:42] <Peregrino> Jack_Sparrow: Why not?
[12:42] <sproingie> jmichaelx: very
[12:42] <jmichaelx> crap
[12:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Peregrino: specs are way low
[12:42] <sproingie> jmichaelx: upgraded to edgy did you?
[12:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Peregrino: I think you would be disappointed in it.
[12:43] <sproingie> jmichaelx: if it's working now you'll be ok, just don't blindly upgrade everything
[12:43] <Peregrino> Okey, I know that H) But it's an almos useless piece of M$ snail with Win98 on it
[12:43] <jmichaelx> sproingie: no, i am trying to get a wireless broadcom card to work.... and they work with 2.6.17, which tempts me to go to edgy
[12:43] <sorush20> how do I find out why my cups is not running..
[12:43] <mwe> I want a new cronjob to run daily as root. Should I add to the crontab of root or create a script in /etc/cron.daily/?
[12:43] <bulio> Would Ubuntu auto-detect a wireless USB adapter made by SMC?
[12:43] <operativ1> crimsun: no joy
 is there away to open xchat location without terminal im trying to get to my mp3s and stuff
[12:43] <ptley> best luck I've had with wireless adapters is those buffalo ones that have an ethernet cord

[12:44] <labreche> hi, has somone tried the 1.17 kernel?
[12:45] <labreche> 2.17
[12:45] <Warbo> zazeem: WTF? "fdisk -l" says it exists
[12:45] <flosch> my kubuntu is only installing security fixes since a while ... doesn't he upgrades existing software to a new version by default?
[12:45] <labreche> 2.6.17
[12:45] <zazeem> Warbo: ya
[12:45] <HAMMERSWIFE> im looking for a way to access xchat ussing file browser thing where it shows file system,etc
[12:45] <Jack_Sparrow> bulio: CHeck the hardware support link above
[12:45] <jmichaelx> anyways, i know that there is a way to make this card work with ndiswrapper, because i had it working... but with linux, if one thing is not screwed up, then three things are
[12:45] <HAMMERSWIFE> what path i need?
[12:45] <bbrazil> Warbo: does /dev/hdc1 exist?
[12:46] <tuxtux> reboot
[12:46] <Warbo> flosch: Try uncommenting the "backports" lines in /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:46] <Warbo> bbrazil: fdisk -l says yes
[12:46] <jmichaelx> anyone who oes on about linux being so much more stable than windows is on crack
[12:46] <bbrazil> Warbo: That's not what I asked you
[12:46] <jmichaelx> goes*
[12:46] <Warbo> zazeem: "ls /dev/hdc1"
[12:46] <bbrazil> Warbo: does that file exist?
[12:46] <flosch> Warbo: already done .. "dapper-backports" ... i've dapper ...
[12:46] <jmichaelx> :-(
[12:46] <HAMMERSWIFE> if ya love windows so much wtf ya here for?
[12:46] <ardchoille> HAMMERSWIFE: open nautilus, then go to Edit  -> Preferences, in the View tab, check "Show hidden and backup files", then look for a directory ".xchat"
[12:46] <DrBashir2> Jack_Sparrow: How do I switch of that away message dialog box? I've been looking all over the settings
[12:47] <crimsun> operativ1: ok. Well, I use an M-Audio Transit USB, but just about any USB audio device should work.
[12:47] <zazeem> Warbo: zazeem@zazilla:~$ ls /dev/hdc1
[12:47] <zazeem> /dev/hdc1
[12:47] <Jack_Sparrow> jmichaelx: Stop trolling.. feel free to go back to M$
[12:47] <Warbo> flosch: That should give relatively new versions of stuff
[12:47] <baconbacon> jmichaelx: why, did it crash
[12:47] <operativ1> cool, thanks
[12:47] <chelle> jmichaelx: Yes, this uptime of a few weeks is as unstable as!
[12:47] <jmichaelx> i don't love windows, and i do like linux a lot, but it is often a real pain
[12:47] <Warbo> zazeem: Erm, then it seems to exist...
[12:47] <Peregrino> Jack_Sparrow: No way to get round of it?

[12:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Peregrino: Low end hardware cant be fixed by any OS... I throw away 10 PC's a month 1ghz and under
[12:48] <zazeem> Warbo: what is rw?
[12:48] <flosch> Warbo: mhm mysteriously ... is there an online package database to check the version diffs between my system and an up2date package?
[12:48] <bbrazil> zazeem: get rid of those A thingys
[12:48] <HAMMERSWIFE> but as much of a pain as it is i say linux beats windows pants down
[12:48] <Warbo> zazeem: Try getting rid of all of the gaps between the different parts of the fstab line, then add them back in manually (copy/pasteing my line may have put a little crap into it)
[12:48] <Jack_Sparrow> !op
[12:48] <ubotu> I know nothing about op - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:48] <maria> does anyone know if there is still issues with the nvidia driver for alladin tnt onboard video? i had tried this before but my system would hang, but now i am using dapper final.
[12:48] <zazeem> bbrazil: what A thingys?
[12:48] <Jack_Sparrow> !ops
[12:48] <ubotu> Help! lilo, Keybuk, mdz, Amaranth, tritium, ajmitch, crimsun, ogra, CarlK, Seveas, Burgundavia, apokryphos, thoreauputic, nalioth, Madpilot, ompaul, rob, Hobbsee, imbrandon, DBO or gnomefreak!
[12:49] <jmichaelx> HAMMERSWIFE: that is not the point, i love linux.... but it can be rough
[12:49] <ardchoille> Can we take the Windows vs. Linux to #ubuntu-offtopic please?
[12:49] <ompaul> Jack_Sparrow, yes?
[12:49] <manicka> I realise this channel is for support. Do we have a more socially orientated channel?
[12:49] <zazeem> bbrazil: what A thingys?
[12:49] <ptley> jmichaelx: check out that link I posted, it has step by step instructions for broadcom cards
[12:49] <bbrazil> zazeem: on my screen I see /dev/hdc1(a with circle over it) space (another a with circle over it)
[12:49] <Terminus> zazeem: for ext3, i think it'd be better to have fsck run on the 2nd pass.
[12:49] <gakt> i dont think i have setfacl
[12:49] <ompaul> Jack_Sparrow, You Called?
[12:49] <jmichaelx> ptley: i will look
[12:49] <Jack_Sparrow> I dont appreciate jmichaelx comments  "Stuff it"
[12:49] <Warbo> rw=read/write
[12:49] <zazeem> Terminus: whats that mean?
[12:49] <jmichaelx> Jack_Sparrow: i do not appreciate you saying i was trolling either
[12:50] <Jack_Sparrow> If he dosent like linux then he should shut up and stop trolling
[12:50] <ptley> now you're trolling
[12:50] <unfun> oooooooo
[12:50] <Terminus> zazeem: instead of 0    0 at the end of the fstab line, 0     2. that way, in case of power failure, it will get checked upon bootup.
[12:50] <Warbo> zazeem: Try getting rid of the rw bit, since that is only making sure, since it is read/write by default
[12:50] <Warbo> Terminus: Not if the special device doesn't exist...........
[12:50] <DrBashir2> Jack_Sparrow: How do I switch of that away message dialog box? I've been looking all over the settings
[12:50] <jmichaelx> Jack_Sparrow: i never said i didnt like linux, i am frustrated. please do not talk to me... i have been working on this broadcom card for a week, and i am just messing things up more
[12:50] <ompaul> Jack_Sparrow, you have made your comment, it has been noted, and I am now having a look
[12:51] <zazeem> Warbo: i get this zazeem@zazilla:~$ sudo mount -astab
[12:51] <zazeem> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc1,
[12:51] <zazeem>        missing codepage or other error
[12:51] <zazeem>        In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
[12:51] <zazeem>        dmesg | tail  or so
[12:51] <Terminus> Warbo: yeah, but does is he gonna be removing the drive regularly?
[12:51] <zazeem> Terminus: ok
[12:51] <jmichaelx> ompaul: iwould like to make a complaint against Jack_Sparrow
[12:51] <ompaul> jmichaelx, I have read your comments, they are not accurate, frustration is no reason to come out with the rubbish you have said, please leave it alone, there is a broadcom fix
[12:51] <Warbo> zazeem: Paste "dmesg | tail" into a pastebin please
[12:52] <ompaul> jmichaelx, let me find it for you
[12:52] <Jack_Sparrow> ompaul: I put him on ignore so as not to escalate the prob
[12:52] <jmichaelx> ompaul: if there is, i wish i could find it....
[12:52] <Jack_Sparrow> ompaul: He has been given the link
[12:52] <ompaul> Jack_Sparrow, leave it,  thanks, noted
[12:52] <bbrazil> zazeem: what you want to do, is type in that whole line again from scratch
[12:52] <zazeem> Warbo: k
[12:52] <ptley> wireless cards are hard to get working sometimes.  I had the hardest time with this usb wireless I got from a taiwanese company
[12:53] <jmichaelx> Jack_Sparrow: i have been given no link to any fix
[12:53] <musiclinux> is there an easy (graphical) way to change which audio mixer my soundcard uses? i.e. can I switch from alsa to OSS?
[12:53] <jmichaelx> ptley: i had this card working
[12:53] <Warbo> ptley: USB ones seem to b the worst. I bought a PCI card off eBay by putting "linux" in the search, and it works fine :)
[12:53] <ompaul> jmichaelx, he is ignoring you, now address me, and answer this, what card have you got, some broadcom 43xx?
[12:53] <zazeem> Warbo: here it is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19213
[12:53] <jmichaelx> ompaul: ok, let me first put jack on ignore
[12:53] <crimsun> musiclinux: sure, just double-click the volume icon in the notification area. Keep in mind it only changes the /perspective/. It doesn't change subsystems.
[12:53] <ptley> I posted the howto link for the broadcom 43xx, I have followed those intructions before and it worked
[12:54] <jmichaelx> ompaul: it is a long long story
[12:54] <ompaul> jmichaelx,  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[12:54] <torpedo|dog> I've got a problem with ddclient: it won't update my host at DynDNS.
[12:54] <jmichaelx> ompaul: i had gone through all of those docs
[12:54] <jmichaelx> have*
[12:54] <ompaul> jmichaelx, including that one?
[12:54] <Warbo> zazeem: OK, seems the bit I added about the partition being owned by you is what is screwing it up (uid=zazeem), there is another way to do that, but I forget what it is
[12:54] <Lukas2> How big swap for 1,4GB Celeron, 768 of RAM?
[12:54] <jmichaelx> ompaul: i will look again, but i think so, brb
[12:55] <Lukas2> 1,4GHZ Celeron
[12:55] <zazeem> Warbo: i c
[12:55] <spades> Lukas2 ramx2 is the usual i think
[12:55] <musiclinux> crimsun: that seems to only let me select which physical soundcard I want to use. What about the mixer? In Kubuntu it was easy (system preferences - sound/mulitmedia)...
[12:55] <Terminus> torpedo|dog: how come? any error messages?
[12:55] <ptley> Lukas2: you might leave more space if you ever plan to upgrade the ram
[12:55] <Warbo> What is the fstab option to make a filesystem read/write for a regular user?
[12:55] <torpedo|dog> Terminus: Not quite sure...it's running as a daemon
[12:55] <Ronz> moooOOO
[12:55] <zazeem> Warbo: does terminus or bbrazil know maybe?
[12:55] <crimsun> musiclinux: it's an option one level below the File menu
[12:56] <jmichaelx> ompaul: ok, those docs are for the open source driver, and yes i have tried that. it did not work for me, and for those who have been able to get it to work, many wind up with a very slow internet connection
[12:56] <Lukas2> 1GB of swap is ok?
[12:56] <Terminus> torpedo|dog: could you paste your config sans passwords? i'm running ddclient myself and it works just fine.
[12:56] <musiclinux> crimsun: change device?
[12:56] <Warbo> zazeem: That's why I just asked the channel. Maybe get a response in a second
[12:56] <torpedo|dog> Terminus: I was just about to do that ;)
[12:56] <zazeem> Warbo: ok
[12:56] <crimsun> musiclinux: yes. It should list both OSS and ALSA mixer perspectives.
[12:56] <Ronz> whats the default mount point for the first USB drive? im trying to format it, and im having a time of it
[12:56] <dr_willis_> !tvout
[12:56] <ubotu> I know nothing about tvout - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:56] <ptley> Lukas2: 1gig of swap is small for 768megs of physical ram, but it "will work"
[12:56] <singamayya`> !docbook
[12:56] <ubotu> I know nothing about docbook - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:56] <singamayya`> i can't get "xmlto pdf" to work for exporting docbook to PDF. passivetex keeps complaining.. anybody got this to work?
[12:56] <musiclinux> crimsun: what if i wanted to disable ALSA completely?
[12:56] <zazeem> Warbo: this is what my primary is set to "defaults,errors=remount-ro"
[12:56] <ompaul> jmichaelx, well then it appears you need a different card, one that works with linux, or else get broadcom to release full specs so someone can do the job on linux with it
[12:57] <Nikoladze> somebody out there must have a working ipw2100 wireless connection with wpa, I've practically been tearing my hair out about this
[12:57] <crimsun> Ronz: depends on the label, normally /media/sdbX or /media/usbdisk
[12:57] <crimsun> Ronz: sorry, /media/sdaX
[12:57] <jmichaelx> ompaul: i was able to get this card working well with ndiswrapper a few weeks ago, but i wound up having to reinstall, and now i am having terrible luck
[12:57] <Warbo>  /media/usbdisk, although the device which you want to format will be /dev/sda1 (probably)
[12:57] <zazeem> Warbo: i man ubuntu partition is set to that
[12:57] <Lukas2> .
[12:57] <musiclinux> crimsun: also...on the computer i'm typing this on, it lists my two soundcards but doesn't give me multiple entries for ALSA and OSS
[12:57] <Ronz> ok, thanks Warbo
[12:57] <ompaul> jmichaelx, so reinstall and do ndiswrapper from the top again,
[12:57] <jmichaelx> ompaul: we do need broadcom to do that, but i know this can work
[12:58] <Warbo> zazeem: Yes, but a) the read-only on errors thing is a bit unnecissary for a non-root partition, and also you don't own the root partition, but you want to own the files partiion
[12:58] <Nikoladze> does anybody here have working wpa wireless with a centrino laptop?
[12:58] <dr_willis_> !ati
[12:58] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:58] <zazeem> Warbo: ok
[12:58] <sorush20> how do I find out if another system is using the packaging database system?
[12:58] <Nikoladze> !help
[12:58] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage
[12:58] <Terminus> Warbo, zazeem: now i remember. there's no gid and uid option for ext2/3 because to change ownership, you just use chown on the partition.
[12:58] <crimsun> musiclinux: yes, you can disable ALSA completely by unloading the ALSA drivers (kernelspace), but it's a bit more complicated to use OSS as the underlying subsystem.
[12:58] <Warbo> What is the fstab option to make a filesystem read/write for a regular user?
[12:58] <MilesAttacca> Both Windows and Ubuntu (live CD) on my new AMD64 computer are spontaneously restarting and/or locking up. From what I can tell the problem's been alleviated on Windows XP by installing the proper nVidia graphics drivers, but since I'm running from the Ubuntu live CD and it freezes during installation how can I stop it from doing so there?
[12:58] <crimsun> musiclinux: I'd need to see a screenshot of the Devices tab
[12:59] <jmichaelx> ompaul: i may have to reinstall ubuntu, but realizing that is what made me so frustrated.... because after i reintsall, i have to reconfigure so many other things that are touchy
[12:59] <zazeem> Terminus: huh? im a nub at this stuff
[12:59] <bbrazil> Warbo: what fs?
[12:59] <jmichaelx> oh well
[12:59] <Warbo> Terminus: Oh, really? That may make some sense, just that I'm used to getting FAT32 working for people :)
[12:59] <Warbo> bbrazil: ext3, but I think it's sorted now thanks
[12:59] <DrBashir2> MilesAttacca: Is it not a heat problem?
[12:59] <jmichaelx> i have kubuntu on several PCs, and it works great, but things on this laptop are not so great
[12:59] <bbrazil> Warbo: there are userspace tools for working with a aw ext2 partition
[12:59] <Terminus> Warbo: yep. uid, gid type options are only necessary for filesystems that don't support unix perms, like ntfs.
[12:59] <bbrazil> Warbo: *raw
[01:00] <singamayya`> docbook anyone?
[01:00] <musiclinux> crimsun: ok..maybe i should explain my problem. I have an old laptop (armada 7400) with an ESS audiodrive card and i followed forum advice and used modprobe etc and sure enough ubuntu recognised the card...but...no sound is coming out the speakers at all
[01:00] <MilesAttacca> DrBashir2: I don't think so. The system seems to be running relatively coolly, and I haven't heard any of the system beep patterns indicating an overheat.
[01:00] <Warbo> zazeem: Get rid of the uid= bit and hopefully allowing yourself access to the folder will be enough to let you access the drive, and the files on it will be owned by you in any case
[01:00] <ompaul> sorush20, type sudo apt-get update and see if you get an error message
[01:00] <Nikoladze> !ipw
[01:00] <zazeem> Warbo: ok
[01:00] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[01:00] <crimsun> musiclinux: pastebin the output from ``amixer'' onto http://pastebin.ca
[01:00] <jmichaelx> ompaul: would you look at a paste-bin for me?
[01:00] <Warbo> Terminus: So many times I have tried helping people get permission for their NTFS drives, then realised that NTFS is mounted read only :)
[01:00] <Jack_Sparrow> MilesAttacca: I agree, I would jump into cmos and look at the system temp, You will not necessarilly get a beep\
[01:00] <gnomefreak> jmichaelx: link
[01:01] <DrBashir2> MilesAttacca: Could also be a faulty memory? My suspicion goes out to your hardware failing somewhere, because its OS independent
[01:01] <ompaul> sorush20, this is the error message you will get if something else is using it: sorush20, if you mean on the same box - you use apt
[01:01] <Warbo> zazeem: Seems I was making it more complicated than it needed to be. The only option it needs is "defaults"
[01:01] <Akein> I have a couple of small problems
[01:01] <torpedo|dog> Terminus: maybe it would help if it were readable ;)
[01:01] <zazeem> Warbo: zazeem@zazilla:~$ sudo mount -a
[01:01] <zazeem> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc1,
[01:01] <zazeem>        missing codepage or other error
[01:01] <zazeem>        In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
[01:01] <zazeem>        dmesg | tail  or so
[01:01] <ompaul> jmichaelx, where is it there are many different ones
[01:01] <MilesAttacca> I've run the memtest utility on the live CD for two hours, five passes, no errors. I don't think that's the case.
[01:01] <musiclinux> crimsun: sorry about this...i'll have to try to catch you online another time as i need to sleep.
[01:01] <gnomefreak> Akein: let us know what they are
[01:01] <Terminus> Warbo: hehe. easiest way to grant perms for ntfs is to just set umask. :)
[01:01] <jmichaelx> ompaul: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19214
[01:02] <Akein> I upgraded my PC, so that I now have an 80GB OS drive on master with a 200GB drive on slave, and a CD/DVD on master with another 200GB drive on slave
[01:02] <jmichaelx> gnomefreak: you can look at it if you want
[01:02] <Warbo> zazeem: Again? Are you sure you have sorted out fstab and saved it? If so then try pastebinning "dmesg | tail" again
[01:02] <MilesAttacca> The thing is that the temperature remains relatively stable (around 35 degrees or so) when I go through the freeze-restart run several times in at least half an hour.
[01:02] <torpedo|dog> Terminus: okay, so what's the easiest way to restart the ddclient daemon
[01:02] <Terminus> torpedo|dog: maybe. i've got a simple 7 line config here. :)
[01:02] <MilesAttacca> Without letting the comp alone to cool down any.
[01:02] <Akein> the second 200GB drive is currently not formatted to be read by linux, but the first is, though it is not showing up after my reboot
[01:02] <ompaul> zazeem, please use paste.ubuntu-nl.org - that is were you put more than two lines of data - please do not flood the channel
[01:02] <Terminus> torpedo|dog: sudo invoke-rc.d ddclient restart
[01:02] <ompaul> thaks
[01:02] <torpedo|dog> Terminus: and when I said 'readable' above, I meant mode +r ;)
[01:02] <Warbo> !partitions > Akein
[01:03] <MilesAttacca> Ubuntu just locks up and I have to reboot manually. Windows XP would actually spontaneously restart within minutes of logging in, but after I managed to keep it up long enough to install the drivers on the nVidia CD it seems to have been behaving.
[01:03] <gnomefreak> jmichaelx: you have linux-restricted-modules for your kernel installed?
[01:03] <Akein> what can I do for the drive that is currently formatted but is not showing up?
[01:03] <chrono_trigger> hello :)
[01:03] <Terminus> torpedo|dog: oh that... or just use sudo. it's that way because of security concerns, especially with the password in plain text. :)
[01:03] <jmichaelx> gnomefreak: ompaul: i think this is a dependency issue
[01:03] <Warbo> Akein: Did you get a message from ubotu? If so then read it
[01:03] <Akein> yep
[01:03] <jmichaelx> gnomefreak: i think so, let me check again.... i just reinstalled the 686 kernel
[01:03] <Jack_Sparrow> Akein: what format is that drive?
[01:03] <Akein> I know about that, I was more worried about the already-formatted drive that isn't showing
[01:04] <Akein> ext3 IIRC
[01:04] <Warbo> Akein: Oh, isn't showing as in, it isn't in /dev?
[01:04] <Akein> not exactly sure, there are a lot of things in /dev :P
[01:04] <sorush20> how do I reconfigure java
[01:04] <Warbo> Akein: "fdisk -l"
[01:05] <gnomefreak> sorush20: sudo update-alternatives --config java
[01:05] <MilesAttacca> DrBashir2, Jack_Sparrow, any suggestions?
[01:05] <Warbo> Akein: Once you know it's name you can mount it, and once you can mount it you can add it to /etc/fstab to be automaounted at boot
[01:06] <Jack_Sparrow> MilesAttacca: that isnt sata raid or anything is it?
[01:06] <Akein> k, I think it is currently hdc, as that does not have an unhappy red mark by it
[01:06] <MilesAttacca> No, just a regular IDE drive.
[01:06] <jmichaelx> gnomefreak: the restricted modules all appear to be installed
[01:06] <Terminus> zazeem: any luck yet?
[01:06] <Akein> k, fixed that
[01:06] <chrono_trigger> I have to manually set up a usb wireless adapter VIA ndiswrapper, iwconfig, dhclient on xubuntu and it works fine but the GUI networking configure tool under xubuntu hasn't got a clue and locks up the kernel. anyone know what the name of the configurations files are for this thing
[01:07] <ompaul> jmichaelx, please walk through this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper , if it fails then maybe you have done something in the last couple of days that has totally broken the system - so you need to abandon irc in favour of an install CD
[01:07] <DrBashir2> MilesAttacca: nope sorry, just starting out on ubuntu myself
[01:07] <Jack_Sparrow> MilesAttacca: Have you tried to run it with different options like ide=nodma   ...
[01:07] <erider> ptley: yeah its saying that I need to compile it from the source
[01:07] <MilesAttacca> Jack_Sparrow: No, no idea how. Just got the CDs yesterday, quite the Ubuntu newbie.
[01:08] <MaxL> Yo, just throwing this out there, anyone know how to configure a joypad on Visual boy advance? :/
[01:08] <Sarra_> It's taking 3-5 minutes for Ubuntu to load fromt he point I put in my username/password until the desktop comes up
[01:08] <Sarra_> Any ideas why?
[01:08] <jmichaelx> ompaul: i am aware of all of thise docs and have gone through them, and like i already told you, i am just trying to avoid yet another reinstallation
[01:08] <Akein> ok, how does one check to see if new hardware has been installed?
[01:08] <jmichaelx> ompaul: but, there may be no avoiding it
[01:08] <chrono_trigger> lsmod
[01:08] <Warbo> System>Admin>Devices
[01:08] <alienjaja> hi
[01:09] <Warbo> OK then, Device Manager
[01:09] <chrono_trigger> I have to manually set up a usb wireless adapter VIA ndiswrapper, iwconfig, dhclient on xubuntu and it works fine but the GUI networking configure tool under xubuntu hasn't got a clue and locks up the kernel. anyone know what the name of the configurations files are for this thing (AkA network-admin)
[01:09] <MaxL> Yo, just throwing this out there, anyone know how to configure a joypad on Visual boy advance? :/
[01:09] <maria> hello, i am trying to run gizmo, and i am getting the following error, gizmo: simple.c:557: snd_mixer_selem_get_capture_volume_range: Assertion `elem' failed.
[01:09] <maria> anyone have any ideas
[01:10] <timmy2> FurryNemesis hi, i did the test and my pc passed all of them, yet i still cant get it to instal
[01:10] <MilesAttacca> If the locking-up issue is just something about the wrong graphics driver, how would I change it (and load the appropriate one) when I'm still working from a live CD?
[01:10] <Jack_Sparrow> MilesAttacca: when you bbot live std... when you get to the start or install ubuntu screen can you hit E
[01:10] <Akein> I installed a PCI sound card, but now I have no sound at all :(
[01:10] <FurryNemesis> timmy2, welcome back, sorry you're having trouble
[01:10] <Warbo> marla: Is this "run" gizmo or "compile" gizmo, since I see a "filename.c" in there...
[01:11] <Warbo> maria: Is this "run" gizmo or "compile" gizmo, since I see a "filename.c" in there...
[01:11] <Warbo> (sorry, I'm terrible with names :) )
[01:11] <MilesAttacca> Jack_Sparrow: What will that do?
[01:11] <Terminus> ompaul: zazeem is asking why he can't send to this channel. did you mute him by any chance? he's getting "* #ubuntu :Cannot send to channel" in his IRC client
[01:11] <FurryNemesis> timmy2, what's you partitioning structure like?
[01:11] <maria> Warbo: im trying to run gizmo, i just installed it
[01:11] <erider> ptley: I'm going to give it a try
[01:11] <Jack_Sparrow> MilesAttacca: LEt you make some changes in the boot options
[01:11] <mwe> !sound > Akein
[01:11] <ompaul> jmichaelx, if you were standing there with a fresh install it would be easy for you to do it, but if you went off and did all sorts of stuff and tried lots of different ways to break it and maybe you have done it better bite the bullet
[01:11] <ompaul> Terminus, I will msg him now
[01:11] <Warbo> maria: OK then, seems like a problem, and I am not good at fixing problems. If it was a compile IO could suggest what needs to be done though
[01:11] <Jack_Sparrow> MilesAttacca: Some are Grub Boot Options ide=nodma vga=normal or 791 nomce acpi=off pnpbios=off xdrvr=vesa xres=800x600 apm=off quiet
[01:12] <Terminus> ompaul: ok. thanks.
[01:12] <maria> Warbo: ok thanks anyways
[01:12] <jmichaelx> ompaul: getting these broadcom cards to work is not easy , fresh install or no
[01:12] <mwe> !usage > mwe
[01:12] <MilesAttacca> Jack_Sparrow: What would you suggest I try, if it is related to the graphics card? I've tried "safe graphics mode" but the only difference is that when it locks up the mouse pointer still moves even if it can't click on anything.
[01:13] <jmichaelx> ompaul: but a fresh install may be the only option now
[01:13] <ompaul> jmichaelx, talk to broadcom, talk to your supplier, or get a different one
[01:13] <timmy2> FurryNemesis i'm not sure what you mean
[01:13] <ompaul> jmichaelx, stop repeating yourself please
[01:13] <jmichaelx> ompaul: i this is an internal card, and i wonder if you have ever worked with one
[01:13] <Jack_Sparrow> MilesAttacca:  I would start with No-everything and see if that works and slowly re-enable each one until you find the option with the problem
[01:14] <jmichaelx> ompaul: ok i appreciate your help
[01:14] <FurryNemesis> timmy2, are you letting the partitioner choose its own options?
[01:14] <ompaul> jmichaelx, I have done it once - and no not on my own hardware I don't get stuff that does not work with OSS - it is not worth the pain
[01:14] <zazeem> Termins, Warbo: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19215 this is it
[01:14] <gnomefreak> jmichaelx: remove and --purge ndswrapper and reinstall it
[01:14] <MilesAttacca> Jack_Sparrow: All right, I'm going to boot from the CD now.
[01:14] <timmy2> FurryNemesis i presume, i havnt changed anything
[01:15] <zazeem> Terminus, Warbo: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19215 this is it
[01:15] <FurryNemesis> timmy2, ok, that's fine. Have you got windows on the box that you're trying to install on?
[01:15] <timmy2> yes
[01:15] <Warbo> zazeem: You know, when I said "uid= bit", I meant the username after it as well :)
[01:15] <jmichaelx> gnomefreak: would doing that possibly resolve the issues with that fatal error?
[01:16] <zazeem> Warbo: ok
[01:16] <gnomefreak> jmichaelx: could
[01:16] <FurryNemesis> timmy2, ok, now what filesystem are you using on the hard disk?
[01:16] <Warbo> "Unrecognizedmountoption"zazeem"" lol
[01:16] <gnomefreak> jmichaelx: it sounds like something is missing (bad download or something) are you compiling it?
[01:16] <zazeem> Warbo: ok it worked :)
[01:16] <jmichaelx> sudo apt-get remove --purge ndiswrapper?
[01:16] <Terminus> zazeem: lets just start from scratch. can you please paste your fstab and the output of mount?
[01:16] <Warbo> zazeem: It's mounted now?
[01:16] <Terminus> zazeem: oh... it worked already. good. :)
[01:16] <Ronz> hey, im trying to format my HDD because it crashed the other day, but my fdisk doesn't look right
[01:17] <gnomefreak> jmichaelx: how did you install it?
[01:17] <Ronz> here it is:
[01:17] <zazeem> Warbo, Terminus, bbrazil: thanks a lot guys
[01:17] <Ronz> Disk /dev/sda1: 80.0 GB, 80015328256 bytes
[01:17] <Ronz> 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9727 cylinders
[01:17] <Ronz> Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
[01:17] <zazeem> Warbo: yes
[01:17] <Warbo> zazeem: Cool, well at least now I know to keep my uids to myself when dealing with *NIX filesystems :)
[01:17] <zazeem> wait
[01:17] <timmy2> FurryNemesis I'm kind of a newb when it comes to Multiple OS, can you be more specific
[01:17] <ompaul> jmichaelx, you seem to know enough to know how broke it is why are you asking here when you already agreed with me that a reinstall was mostly likely the best way forward
[01:17] <zazeem> Warbo, Terminus: now it says i dont have permissin to add files
[01:17] <jmichaelx> gnomefreak: i have installed from apt-get and from automatix both several times, i am afraid to say
[01:17] <Ronz> and when i go to make primary partition...looks like this
[01:17] <MaxL> Yo, just throwing this out there, anyone know how to configure a joypad on Visual boy advance? :/
[01:17] <Ronz>      Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System

[01:18] <FusionXN1> Hi all
[01:18] <gnomefreak> Ronz: dont paste in here
[01:18] <Ronz> sorry gnomefreak
[01:18] <Warbo> zazeem: "sudo chmod 777 /home/zazeem/files -R" maybe
[01:18] <ompaul> jmichaelx, well now there you go - that is a straight Reinstall
[01:18] <zazeem> Warbo: k
[01:18] <MilesAttacca> Jack_Sparrow: In the boot options, is the ramdisk size specification in bytes, KB, MB?
[01:18] <jmichaelx> ompaul: i just feel there is a way to fix this without reinstalling....
[01:18] <FurryNemesis> timmy2, when you go to properties on your C drive in windows, does it say that you have a FAT or an NTFS filesystem?
[01:18] <zazeem> Warbo: ok now i can
[01:18] <zazeem> Warbo: do i have to type that every time i boot?
[01:18] <Flannel> zazeem: er, wait.  What did you do to your home folder?
[01:19] <FusionXN1> I have 2 harddrives, format: ext3 and there not under my computer and i cant mount them. ANyone help me out
[01:19] <lecaros> use pastebin.com
[01:19] <zazeem> Flannel: what?
[01:19] <Warbo> zazeem: I shouldn't think so, it should be automouted with the right permissions now
[01:19] <zazeem> Flannel: what do u mean?
[01:19] <Jack_Sparrow> MilesAttacca: I dont know but it looks like bytes
[01:19] <ompaul> jmichaelx, given what you wrote there I am going to say, 99.9 recurring the answer is no
[01:19] <Terminus> Warbo: bad idea. personally, i put my user in group staff, chown -R root:staff /mnt/point, chmod -R 0664 /mnt/point, chmod -R +X /mnt/point
[01:19] <timmy2> FurryNemesis ntfs
[01:19] <FurryNemesis> aha
[01:19] <FurryNemesis> timmy2, there's your problem
[01:19] <Warbo> Terminus: Well..... That takes longer to type :)
[01:19] <timmy2> ok
[01:20] <FurryNemesis> timmy2, it's solvable
[01:20] <zazeem> Warbo, Terminus, Flannel: im confused is it okay to d it this way?
[01:20] <timmy2> good
[01:20] <zazeem> Warbo, Terminus, Flannel: it works
[01:20] <Terminus> Warbo: true. but it doesn't give other users perms. :)
[01:20] <FurryNemesis> timmy2, just let me find the right guide
[01:20] <Warbo> Terminus: It's in $HOME, so it is not as if stsem files will go there or anything
[01:20] <zazeem> Terminus: i am the only user
[01:20] <Warbo> *system
[01:20] <FusionXN1> !mount

[01:20] <Terminus> zazeem: okidokie.
[01:20] <FurryNemesis> timmy2, do you want to keep windows on that computer?
[01:20] <timmy2> yes
[01:21] <zazeem> Warbo, Terminus: is there a way to move my cedega files and games into that so its not eating my main space?
[01:21] <Terminus> Warbo: well, depends on how it's used i guess. i just don't like other users on the network accidentally deleting stuff. :)
[01:21] <linuxd00d> hey guys
[01:22] <linuxd00d> im having trouble installing themes on gnome
[01:22] <zazeem> Warbo, Terminus: is there a way to move my cedega files and games into that so its not eating my main space?
[01:22] <Terminus> zazeem: haven't touched cedega in a long time. sorry.
[01:22] <linuxd00d> it says that the File is Invalid
[01:22] <capiCrimm> how can I restart the audio, is there a script in init.d or something?
[01:23] <XiXaQ> How do I see which device is mounted as /media/external ?
[01:23] <zazeem> Terminus: ok
[01:23] <FurryNemesis> timmy2, found it http://www.crhc.uiuc.edu/~mjmille2/howtos/dual-boot-linux-and-windows/
[01:23] <Warbo> zazeem: I've never used cedega, but either changing the configs for it, or just making a symbolic link which points to the new location, should work (if Cedega is nice anyway)
[01:24] <MilesAttacca> Heh, what we need is an "HTML Goodies"-style approach to Linux config.
[01:24] <zazeem> Warbo, Terminus: thanks a lot guys for your time
[01:24] <Warbo> MilesAttacca: What? Fill config files with <useless>tags</useless>? Anyway, that would be XML
[01:24] <timmy2> FurryNemesis thank you so much for your help! Theres no risk of me loosing any files (txt, music etc) because of this right?\
[01:24] <MilesAttacca> Warbo: I meant in the tutorial style.
[01:25] <Warbo> MilesAttacca: There is a Wiki......

[01:25] <MilesAttacca> Warbo: Yeah, but it's not nearly as funny and comprehensive as the HTML Goodies tutorials.
[01:25] <linuxd00d> can anybody help me with installing themes my manager says file invalid
[01:25] <Warbo> !helpme
[01:25] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:25] <Jack_Sparrow> linuxd00d: where are you getting those themes?
[01:26] <FurryNemesis> timmy2, I'd back up all your documents just in case you screw up. It's a standard thing, not much to worry about but better safe than sorry
[01:26] <linuxd00d> from the gnome website
[01:26] <Leeif> anyone knows where to get this icon theme? http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1744243597010709892
[01:26] <Warbo> MilesAttacca: Well i strive for easy to follow guides when I write them. Maybe I should add a few one-liners next time, happy now :)
[01:26] <timmy2> FurryNemesis ok thanks alot, peace!
[01:26] <FurryNemesis> phew
[01:26] <mwe> linuxd00d: what manager? are you sure the file is ok?
[01:27] <Jack_Sparrow> linuxd00d: name one that isnt working and I'll try it
[01:27] <MilesAttacca> Warbo: Yeah, a fun tutorial is a good tutorial after all. :)
[01:27] <linuxd00d> i dont think its a manager im using the built in theme app on ubuntu
[01:27] <linuxd00d> wait a sec i will get you a link
[01:27] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[01:28] <Warbo> Leeif: Dammit, I know the name of that theme. Give me a second.... (by the way, maybe try looking around Suse web sites, as well as the usual gnome-look.org and art.gnome.org)
[01:28] <CyDrive> Can anyone reccomend me a easy to setup and install webserver?
[01:28] <linuxlion> Hello everyone

[01:29] <linuxd00d> hi
[01:30] <zazeem> Warbo: is there a command to see how many files are on my hard drive and how big they are?
[01:30] <Warbo> Leeif: It's completely slipped my mind, sorry
[01:30] <DrBashir2> Jack_Sparrow: How can I get rid of the away dialog box that comes everytime Im just reading a little?
[01:30] <linuxd00d> ls -R
[01:30] <Warbo> zazeem: The tool "baoab" will help you there
[01:30] <Warbo> !info baoab
[01:30] <Jack_Sparrow> linuxd00d: worked just fine
[01:30] <ubotu> Package baoab does not exist in dapper

[01:31] <linuxd00d> i have tried that
[01:31] <Jack_Sparrow> DrBashir2: I looked and could not find it either
[01:31] <linuxd00d> i will try again though
[01:32] <zazeem> Warbo: i dont have baoab, and its not in synaptic
[01:32] <DrBashir2> Jack_Sparrow:  so you still have the same problem too?

[01:32] <linuxd00d> Jack_Sparrow: i get this message    The file format is invalid
[01:33] <Warbo> CyDrive: Check on gnomefiles.org. There is a pretty simple one made in Mono on there
[01:33] <mwe> CyDrive: what's wrong with apache?
[01:33] <Warbo> CyDrive: "Web Share" or something
[01:33] <DrBashir2> hmm, 1:33 am, I guess ill turn in
[01:34] <Warbo> "Web Sharing" I beg your pardon
[01:35] <ryantrip> i installed ubuntu, but it seems slow at times. the mouse would freez up for like 2 seconds then continue to work. im running a pentium 3, 1.2 ghz computer, with about 1 gig of ram. should ubuntu work fine on my computer?
[01:35] <dooglus> ryantrip: it should
[01:35] <linuxd00d> yeah
[01:35] <dr_willis_> ryantrip,  should.. its not being sluggish when accessing the hard drives  is it?
[01:35] <dr_willis_> could be dma is not getting enabled.
[01:35] <Warbo> ryantrip: Check the system monitor for useless services which you can turn off
[01:35] <kitsuneofdoom> Ok, when I open a music program, say xmms or rythymbox, after firefox, no sound comes out. If I open firefox afterwards, no problem. Ubuntu 6.06, 64-bit version
[01:35] <linuxd00d> im running an IBM think pad with 256mb of Ram and i have a 1gb processor
[01:36] <kitsuneofdoom> linuxd00d: GHz.
[01:36] <Tamale> 1 ghz processor
[01:36] <Warbo> kitsuneofdoom: Maybe Flash plugin is hogging the sound card?
[01:36] <dooglus> ryantrip: i've found ubuntu's mouse locks up if you use cifs to send a lot of data to a windows share - are you doing that?
[01:36] <Tamale> hehe
[01:36] <linuxd00d> ghz
[01:36] <linuxd00d> sorry
[01:36] <Jack_Sparrow> linuxd00d: It is probably installed and you need to go to theme details to pick clearlooks - dark nice
[01:36] <Tamale> a processor of 1gb of cache would be pretty impressive
[01:36] <kitsuneofdoom> Warbo: I'm using the OSS flash plugin
[01:36] <ryantrip> dooglas: you mean like a windows file sharing?
[01:36] <dooglus> ryantrip: yes
[01:36] <Warbo> kitsuneofdoom: Sorry, is that "Open Source Software" or "Open Sound System"?
[01:37] <ryantrip> dooglus: i havnt tried to connect to one at all
[01:37] <dooglus> ryok
[01:37] <dooglus> ryantrip: ok
[01:38] <linuxd00d> Jack_sparrow: im getting a window saying         The file format is invalid
[01:38] <ryantrip> dooglas: but every once and awhile the mouse would pause, and whe starting up, the login screen would freez for 10 seconds, and then it lets me type in my stuff
[01:38] <kitsuneofdoom> Warbo: the Open one. It doesn't work well, but you know how flash is with 64 bit
[01:38] <ryantrip> dooglus: sorry i spelled ur name wrong above.
[01:38] <Warbo> kitsuneofdoom: OK, just that non-free Flash uses the Open Sound System, which is exactly the problem :)
[01:39] <Warbo> I am not sure whether libflash uses OSS or ALSA, have you considered Gnash?
[01:39] <Jack_Sparrow> linuxd00d: how about doing md5sum on that download
[01:39] <kitsuneofdoom> Warbo: Gnash?
[01:39] <linuxd00d> md5sum??
[01:39] <Warbo> http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash
[01:39] <Jack_Sparrow> linuxd00d: FYI that is a little too dark for me
[01:39] <linuxd00d> im noob
[01:39] <dr_willis_> Jack_Sparrow,  it could be he needs to uncompress the theme/rename the file. Seen that a lot in some theme downloads.
[01:39] <ptley> I liek the opensound drivers, like the ones for m-audio cards... wish they weren't $$
[01:39] <Warbo> kitsuneofdoom: You will need to compile from source, but make sure you enable sound (it is disabled by default, due to MP3 licenses)
[01:40] <regularjordon> could someone help me out
[01:40] <DrBashir2> hmm, How do I put my laptop on standby? I have a button for that (the others next to it work) but wont do anything
[01:40] <Warbo> !helpme
[01:40] <linuxd00d> dr_willis_: i have untarred the file to my home directory
[01:40] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:40] <regularjordon> im having trouble with terminal
[01:40] <Jack_Sparrow> dr_willis_: I just dropped the same GZ onto theme manager and it works fine
[01:40] <Warbo> !cli
[01:40] <kitsuneofdoom> Warbo: thank you
[01:40] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via applications -> accessories -> terminal (gnome) or kmenu -> system -> konsole (kde). Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[01:41] <Jack_Sparrow> linuxd00d:  dont uncompress it... just drop it as is
[01:41] <linuxd00d> i will try some other themes
[01:41] <linuxd00d> what just as a .tar.gz file
[01:41] <dr_willis_> Jack_Sparrow, heh - thta does sound like a bad download to me.
[01:41] <Jack_Sparrow> linuxd00d: fyi you go to term and run md5sum to get the checksum for a file
[01:41] <jmichaelx> ompaul: one more question... do you think if i just leave this installation on here and wait a few months until edgy final, that things with this broadcom card could be alright?
[01:41] <regularjordon> in terminal when ever i get the whole " do you want to continue [Y/n] ?     i put "y" and hit enter. but then it aborts everything
[01:41] <ryantrip> hey could some one take a look at this and tell me if i should use it? http://www.dylanknightrogers.com/2006/07/17/faster-dappersh/
[01:42] <linuxd00d> ok
[01:42] <Warbo> regularjordon: I am guessing with apt-get?
[01:42] <Jack_Sparrow> regularjordon:   How about a capital Y
[01:42] <gakt> how do i remove a non-empty dir?  -if and -rf aren't working
[01:42] <regularjordon> yes
[01:42] <zazeem> hi, is there any way to get more performance out of nvidia cards? i heard you can add to the cfg some stuff to make it run better
[01:42] <zazeem> like ago
[01:42] <zazeem> agp*
[01:42] <gnomefreak> gakt: man rm
[01:42] <dr_willis_> rm -rf dir   should remove it
[01:42] <Warbo> regularjordon: Try getting the hang of aptitude, it may work better (sudo aptitude)
[01:42] <gnomefreak> gakt: i think its rm -R but man it to make sure
[01:42] <AndyCooll> regularjordan: and if you just hit the enter button (no need to type y), what happens?
[01:42] <ompaul> jmichaelx, no idea, but you will rebuild
[01:42] <technel> So file1 >> file 2 would append file1 to file2. How would I prepend file1 to file2?
[01:43] <garkoil> hi all
[01:43] <timalot> anyone know if it's possible to select windows using the keyboard in the scale plugin of compiz?
[01:43] <jhasse> I have a bug (?) in gnome: When i size the window to maximum size and then klick the maximize button, the window keeps a round border, so i can't close a window by clicking at the top right corner. How can i fix that?
[01:43] <jmichaelx> ompaul: ok, i think that is the route i am going to take, thanks
[01:43] <regularjordon> the same thig\
[01:43] <regularjordon> thing*
[01:43] <dr_willis_> jhasse,  use a different theme perhaps?
[01:43] <Jack_Sparrow> regularjordon: HAd to check
[01:44] <zazeem> hi, is there any way to get more performance out of nvidia cards? i heard you can add to the cfg some stuff to make it run better like adding agp?
[01:44] <garkoil> jhasse, can u move the window pressing alt ?
[01:44] <gakt> ty
[01:44] <Jack_Sparrow> regularjordon: Cap Y did the same or just enter?
[01:44] <dr_willis_> zazeem,  i doubt if ya will gain much. The nvidia homepage has detailed docs on oooodles of optins ya can mess with.
[01:44] <jhasse> garkoil, yes
[01:44] <zazeem> dr_willis: thnx
[01:44] <ryantrip> what do you guys think about this? should i use it? http://www.dylanknightrogers.com/2006/07/17/faster-dappersh/
[01:44] <zazeem> dr_willis: do you have a link?
[01:44] <garkoil> jhasse, and then u can close the window ?
[01:44] <jhasse> dr_willis_, i am using human, i like it
[01:44] <zazeem> dr_willis_: do you have a link?
[01:45] <AndyCooll> regularjordan: Does the same thing happen in a virtual terminal (eg. ALT+F1)?
[01:45] <technel> So file1 >> file 2 would append file1 to file2. How would I prepend file1 to file2?
[01:45] <Renan_s2> ryantrip, I used it with no ill effects
[01:45] <dr_willis_> zazeem,  go to the nvidia site and look at the docs for the linux drivers. :) its very very good reading.
[01:45] <zazeem> ok
[01:45] <ryantrip> Renan_s2: did it work as advertised?
[01:45] <Warbo> dr_willis_: I prefer SciFi......
[01:45] <garkoil> q about WMWARE: any1 here knows if I can run a Virtual Machine created in windows under my ubuntu ?
[01:46] <Renan_s2> ryantrip, it made things a little faster, but I haven't done exhaustive testing
[01:46] <Renan_s2> garkoil, yes, no problems
[01:46] <Warbo> VMWare images are universal I think
[01:46] <jhasse> garkoil, sry, i wasn't clear: I can't close the window by clicking at the screens top right corner, because then i click behind the window at the desktop.
[01:46] <garkoil> Renan_s2, hi thanks
[01:46] <someothernick> i installed eggdrop from syaptic. whaen i rum it from treminal i get a error "config file not loaded (not found, or error). from reading the forums i guess i have to cinfigure the config file. but i do not know where synaptic put the file.does anyone know where the file might be or where i could look for it?
[01:46] <ryantrip> Renan_s2: ok great. do you know anything else that i can use to speed up ubuntu?
[01:46] <Warbo> Well, the other day I ran a PC-BSD one and it said it couldn't access D: :(
[01:46] <linuxd00d> Jack_sparrow : i have md5sumd the file and it comes up with this a3ffd964c980d6f83606cd38a6fdbb1c
[01:46] <Renan_s2> !speedup
[01:46] <ubotu> I know nothing about speedup - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:46] <Renan_s2> !speed
[01:46] <ubotu> I know nothing about speed - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:46] <Renan_s2> I remeber that there were some thigns you could do
[01:46] <Renan_s2> but I don't recall now
[01:47] <dr_willis_> Warbo,  admit it - you were first in line for the Harry Potter book!
[01:47] <dr_willis_> :P
[01:47] <Jack_Sparrow> let me check mine
[01:47] <garkoil> jhasse, so u can't close the windows at all ...? and what about the solution offered ? try changing the theme to see if it helps
[01:47] <Gumby> someothernick: sudo updatedb  and then locate eggdrop.conf (I believe)
[01:47] <ryantrip> Renan_s2: ok ill just google it
[01:47] <Warbo> dr_willis_: Oh I DESPISE Harry Potter :)
[01:47] <someothernick> Gumby, ty
[01:47] <Gumby> someothernick: there is probably an eggdrop.conf.sample or something like that
[01:47] <dr_willis_> Warbo,  i bet.. :P  sure you do....
[01:47] <garkoil> Renan_s2, 10x for helping earlier with paratitioning the HD (I was logged with another name)
[01:47] <Renan_s2> :)
[01:48] <jhasse> garkoil, with other themes (e.g. clearlooks) i doesn't work, too
[01:48] <kitsuneofdoom> Warbo: how do I get it to enable sound?
[01:48] <Jack_Sparrow> linuxd00d: dafff907f41ac84dca44880fc722e9c9  GTK2-DarkNice.tar.gz
[01:48] <garkoil> jhasse, have u searched for this bug in the bugzilla ?
[01:48] <linuxd00d> ok
[01:48] <Jack_Sparrow> linuxd00d: That looks like the prob
[01:49] <trafiq> hi i whant to try compile kernel and one question if i have amd64 in this place - make-kpkg -initrd --revision=386 kernel_image kernel_headers modules_image ,, i must write --revision=amd64 ?
[01:49] <ompaul> ryantrip, the answer is no, you need to edit it, and it would be better to run the commands individually
[01:49] <linuxd00d> i found out what i was doing
[01:49] <Warbo> kitsuneofdoom: It will be "./configure --enable-SOMETHING", check the documentation, or maybe "./configure --help"
[01:49] <jhasse> garkoil, no, i'm new to linux. Where can i find the bugzilla?
[01:49] <linuxd00d> *slap head*
[01:49] <ompaul> ryantrip, and not all commands would be for you
[01:49] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[01:49] <garkoil> !bugzilla
[01:49] <ubotu> I know nothing about bugzilla - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:49] <Tracker1> is there a way to make the "root" theme match my user's theme... ex: when going into synaptic, or network manager it doesn't match.
[01:49] <ompaul> !launchpad
[01:49] <ubotu> launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's Bounty and Bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/
[01:49] <Warbo> kitsuneofdoom: You will probably need the -dev packages for MAD as well
[01:49] <dr_willis_> Tracker1,  run the theme manager tool with sudo.. or not worry about it. :P
[01:49] <Jack_Sparrow> linuxd00d: As long as it is working... I'm happy for you
[01:50] <ompaul> jhasse, garkoil read the last one by ubotu
[01:50] <Tracker1> ok
[01:50] <dr_willis_> Tracker1,  i think they should give root a default BRIGHT RED warning theme. :)
[01:50] <roostishaw> anyone, how can iget 'mvn' to work? im trying to compile a firefox extention...
[01:50] <trafiq> if i compile kernel in amd64 i must write --revision=amd64 ?
[01:50] <kitsuneofdoom> Warbo: for some reason, I have them
[01:50] <Warbo> dr_willis_: Like Mandriva does (or did, at least)?
[01:50] <dr_willis_> Warbo,  never noticed. :P
[01:51] <FusionXN1> Hey everyone, what packages do i need for mysql... is it mysql-client-5.0 or mysql-server.5.0 ?
[01:51] <tapio> How can i  figure out whats blocking my sound?
[01:51] <Warbo> dr_willis_: The background of a root login was bright red. I hate Mandriva though
[01:51] <garkoil> Renan_s2, I have just installed windows to install VMware workstation - now creating a VM to play in my ubuntu so I won't have to dual boot
[01:51] <Renan_s2> OK
[01:51] <linuxd00d> Jack_sparrow: i was extracting the files expecting it to work
[01:51] <dr_willis_> Warbo,  the Harry Potter of Linux! :)
[01:51] <Jack_Sparrow> linuxd00d: ooops, overthinking the problem
[01:52] <kitsuneofdoom> As well, I cannot get anything with OpenGL to work. Even Glxgears will not work, it says something about a double buffered visual and how it can't get it. Using the ati open source driver (the binary one does not work) on Ubuntu 64 bit version, 6.06 Dapper Drake
[01:52] <linuxd00d> yeah basically
[01:52] <roostishaw> anyone, how can I get 'mvn' to work? im trying to compile a firefox extention...
[01:52] <linuxd00d> oh well noobs these days XD
[01:52] <Jack_Sparrow> linuxd00d: glad its fixed and you learned something, have fun with those themes
[01:52] <Warbo> kitsuneofdoom: Which open source one? The DRI "radeon" or the "ati"?
[01:52] <jhasse> ompaul, garkoil, there are only 2 bugs? https://launchpad.net/products/bug-buddy/+bugs
[01:53] <AndyCooll> garkoil: That's how I use VMware Server. I have a Windows XP image for when I absolutely have to use it
[01:53] <MilesAttacca> Is there a way to specify a higher screen resolution for Ubuntu beyond 1024 (such as 1154)?
[01:53] <kitsuneofdoom> Warbo: ati
[01:53] <kitsuneofdoom>  Warbo: Perhaps I should use the radeon one, is it better?
[01:53] <Jack_Sparrow> MilesAttacca: edit xorg.conf but be sure your hardware supports it
[01:53] <linuxd00d> Jack_sparrow: cheers for all your help, and yes i shall be getting the matix theme
[01:54] <tapio> How can i figure out whats blocking my sound? And why on earth doesn't ubuntu have software mixing by default?
[01:54] <jhasse> MilesAttacca, yes, type sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf and check resolutions
[01:54] <Warbo> kitsuneofdoom: It gives 3D, but only on older cards like my Radoen 9200
[01:54] <trafiq> what i should write in --revission= ? if i use amd64 when i compiling kernel ?
[01:54] <kitsuneofdoom> Warbo: Not a good idea, because I have an XPress 200M
[01:54] <Warbo> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RadeonHowto I think I called it
[01:54] <trafiq> its should be --revision=amd64?

[01:55] <roostishaw> anyone, how can I get 'mvn' to work? im trying to compile a firefox extention...
[01:55] <timalot> roostishaw: whats mvn?
[01:55] <garkoil> ompaul, just a sec before u :-)
[01:55] <Tracker1> dr_willis_, that would kind of make sense actually..
[01:55] <MilesAttacca> Jack_Sparrow: Can I use the boot-sequence command editor in GRUB at start-up to add the boot options you gave me earlier?
[01:55] <roostishaw> timalot, no idea. the selenium ide site said to use it to compile the xpi
[01:56] <garkoil> AndyCooll, do u think there are torrents for WinXp WM ?
[01:56] <Jack_Sparrow> MilesAttacca: yes
[01:56] <ompaul> garkoil, that is lag for you, mine shows me before you
[01:56] <roostishaw> timalot, http://wiki.openqa.org/display/SIDE/Building+Selenium+IDE
[01:56] <Tracker1> using g4_white for my desktop theme, and the default/root one is pretty alien looking.
[01:56] <garkoil> ompaul, no problems man :-)
[01:56] <Warbo> For anyone who is interested it is actually https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
[01:56] <tapio> How can i figure out whats blocking my sound? And why on earth doesn't ubuntu have software mixing by default?
[01:57] <AndyCooll> I believe there are. Of course these will be pirated versions!
[01:57] <dr_willis_> tapio,  a lot depends on your sound card.
[01:57] <dr_willis_> tapio,  i have no issues at all with sound.. :)
[01:57] <apple-gunkies> can someone tell me the current standard file encryption utility?
[01:57] <dr_willis_> !sound
[01:57] <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
[01:57] <MilesAttacca> Jack_Sparrow: Where should I put the commands relative to things like savedefault? Would putting them basically anywhere before boot work?
[01:57] <Warbo> tapio: It does. Try researching ESD and ALSA
[01:57] <MilesAttacca> !graphics
[01:57] <ubotu> I know nothing about graphics - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:57] <timalot> roostishaw: it looks like its's http://maven.apache.org/
[01:57] <Jack_Sparrow> MilesAttacca: add them to the end should be fine
[01:58] <Jack_Sparrow> MilesAttacca: delete similar ones if they exist
[01:58] <tapio> dr_willis_: Thats probarbly because you have hardware mixing
[01:58] <Jack_Sparrow> MilesAttacca: or conflicting ones
[01:58] <shawn_> my xorg.conf is set to 1440x900 but my laptop monitor is still 1680x1050.. can anyone help me out?
[01:58] <roostishaw> timalot, that's it! thanks!
[01:58] <chris86wm> hey guys, i have been using Internet Download Manger on the windows side of things for a while. It increases my download speeds on my laptop from 80kbps to about 500kbps. Is there a linux equivalent to this program?
[01:58] <tapio> Warbo: Yea, but i don't feel like setting that up now. any way to figure out hwats blocking it?
[01:58] <cavediver> Hi there. Is kernel 2.6.17 availibla as a backport for dapper ?
[01:59] <Warbo> tapio: "setting it up"? Ubuntu uses it by default
[01:59] <emdash> does the 6.06 install cd include atheros drivers?
[01:59] <FusionXN1> ANyone good with mysql?
[01:59] <Jack_Sparrow> shawn_: sudo gedit  /etc/x11/xorg.conf  and add your resolution, but make a backup of that file
[01:59] <chris86wm> emdash, my atheros card works fine
[01:59] <FusionXN1> Jack_Sparrow: i just had to do that after installed nvidia drivers
[01:59] <emdash> chris86wm: good to know
[01:59] <tapio> Warbo: Apparently not :-\
[01:59] <jn> hey im having a problem getting ansi displayed properly in dapper inside an aterm console, i have vga.pcf installed and its what im using (it supports ansi display) i also changed locale from US to US_ISO-some number (i forget) but its still not working
[01:59] <shawn_> Jack_Sparrow, i know. my xorg.conf is set to only 1440x900
[01:59] <ETronik> Hikaru79, friggin flash disk ain't automounting in Dapper as it did in Breezy, any takers ??
[01:59] <gr33npho3nix> Warbo: they are in the repos i don't know if they are on install kernel

[01:59] <Warbo> tapio: "pidof esd"
[02:00] <shawn_> Jack_Sparrow, but laptop monitor still is on 1680x1050
[02:00] <brennanOS> is there a good gui frontend for ffmpeg?
[02:00] <emdash> chris86wm: do you think the card will work in livecd mode?
[02:00] <FusionXN1> shawn_: do you need that resolution?
[02:00] <chris86wm> emdash, it should
[02:00] <Warbo> gr33npho3nix: ESD doesn't work on the kernel, whilst ALSA is a crucial part of it
[02:00] <emdash> chris86wm: my neighoor's wifi card stopped working and I'm trying to classify it as either hardware or software (i.e. windows) related problem
[02:00] <jhasse> chris86wm, try DownThemAll https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/201/
[02:00] <shawn_> yes, my laptop monitor is small, and it hurts my eyes to see 1680x1050
[02:00] <emdash> thanks for the info
[02:00] <chris86wm> thanks jhasse
[02:00] <shawn_> Jack_Sparrow, yes, my laptop monitor is small, and it hurts my eyes to see 1680x1050
[02:00] <chris86wm> sure thing
[02:00] <Jack_Sparrow> shawn_: How are you checking the resolution
[02:00] <chris86wm> good luck
[02:00] <gr33npho3nix> Warbo: you can easily apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`
[02:00] <MilesAttacca> Jack_Sparrow: It says the config options you gave me earlier are unrecognized commands.
[02:01] <FusionXN1> shawn_: what resolution do you want?
[02:01] <Warbo> emdash: Maybe it is a stop-the-neighbour-using-our-broadband problem?
[02:01] <Warbo> gr33npho3nix: For SOUND? I think you have the wrong guy :)
[02:01] <tapio> Warbo: Thanks :)
[02:01] <shawn_> 1440x900
[02:01] <Jack_Sparrow> miles, which ones did you try?
[02:01] <chris86wm> lol @ warbo
[02:01] <shawn_> system>pref>resolution says 1680x1050
[02:01] <MilesAttacca> Jack_Sparrow: ide=nodma vga=normal or 791 nomce acpi=off pnpbios=off xdrvr=vesa xres=800x600 apm=off
[02:01] <MilesAttacca> Jack_Sparrow: On separate lines for each.
[02:01] <AndyCooll> shawn_: Is the resolution you want listed in System->Preseferences->Screen Resolution?
[02:01] <FusionXN1> shawn_: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg-conf scroll down about 12 times
[02:02] <chris86wm> hey, when is the ubuntu book coming out?
[02:02] <shawn_> AndyCooll, no
[02:02] <FusionXN1> add "1440x900" to the beginning of the line after 24

[02:02] <garkoil> AndyCooll, how can I use the drag and drop feature to files in VMware under my ubutu ?
[02:02] <Jack_Sparrow> MilesAttacca: vga=normal , vga=791   two different options, n
[02:02] <gr33npho3nix> Warbo: my bad i thought you were talking about the atheros drivers
[02:02] <shawn_> noob-saibot, not only 24, only 1440x900
[02:02] <tsume> lol @ trolldot
[02:03] <AndyCooll> shawn_: Then you need to edit xorg.conf as folks have been mentioning
[02:03] <Warbo> gr33npho3nix: I thought so, but I wanted to see how far I could take it :)
[02:03] <roostishaw> anyone, how can i play back a test from the terminal that i recorded with the selenium ide extention?
[02:03] <Anderson> hey, I'm having some major issues with my wireless card being extremely sensitive to noise and interference, any suggestions?
[02:03] <shawn_> wow
[02:03] <tsume> the 'computer job without computer degree"
[02:03] <FusionXN1> shawn_: only put your resolution on the line AFTER 24
[02:03] <tsume> I
[02:03] <MilesAttacca> Jack_Sparrow: It objects to ide=nodma and vga=normal for two.
[02:03] <FusionXN1> shawn_: i just did mine
[02:03] <shawn_> FusionXN1, It already IS
[02:03] <FusionXN1> Anyone any good woth MYSQL 5?
[02:03] <zyfo> If I'm only going to dualboot linux and windows, will a /boot partition make ANY difference whatsoever (performance)?
[02:03] <MilesAttacca> Jack_Sparrow: Haven't tried reducing to the other commands to see if it likes those yet.
[02:04] <tsume> I'm a full time salary network administrator who does code consulting, local consulting computer work, and regular tech services, without a computer degree :P
[02:04] <AndyCooll> shawn_ : Once you have done that the resolution you want should then be listed (you might have to log out and back in first)
[02:04] <linuxd00d> what are these programs called, where it shows your computers stats
[02:04] <shawn_> no you guys don't understand
[02:04] <tsume> so lol @ all the wanna be computer retards out there :)
[02:04] <shawn_> I already did all that
[02:04] <shawn_> set the line to 1440x900, restered x
[02:04] <shawn_> still have 1680
[02:04] <Warbo> linuxd00d: Monitors? Applets? Sensors?
[02:04] <linuxd00d> sensors
[02:04] <FusionXN1> shawn_: you did ctrl+alt+backspace?
[02:04] <linuxd00d> or all

[02:06] <shawn_> AndyCooll, I only have one resolution listed, 1440
[02:06] <MilesAttacca> Jack_Sparrow: So how should I add those options in a way it'll accept and stop throwing me error-27s for?

[02:07] <ETronik> Hi all, friggin flash disk ain't automounting in Dapper as it did in Breezy, any takers ??

[02:08] <ETronik> timalot, what have you tried ?

[02:09] <timalot> ETronik: well i havent tried to get the automounting going... but i least i can do it manually... for some reason after i upgraded it didn't even load the usb modules
[02:09] <tsume> mdious: how far you in cisco?
[02:09] <ETronik> rgg, you're welcome, glad I could help :)
[02:09] <Yalie_> I'm installing Ubuntu, by 5 PM it started to format the HD but until now it's not concluded
[02:09] <Adam_G> hi, anyone know a command (or any method, actually) of checking the file system of a partition? It's an external HD
[02:09] <mdious> only doing ccna....probably won't go too much further, I'd like to do the security one...possibly one further up
[02:10] <Yalie_> i'm worried because there's only a blue screen and nothing else
[02:10] <Yalie_> anyone could assist me?
[02:10] <shawn_> my xorg.conf is set to 1440x900 but my laptop monitor is still 1680x1050.. can anyone help me out?
[02:10] <ETronik> tich, ya, after upgrading usb went sorta south
[02:10] <tsume> mdious: I thought about replacing this pix box which was EOLed which was bought just before I came on for 80 bucks when its outdated :) hehe. So I think I'm replacing it with a FreeBSD box.
[02:10] <Jack_Sparrow> MilesAttacca: I just used the vga=normal on my slow laptop and booted fine
[02:10] <facugaich> Adam_G: Gparted may be able to do taht
[02:10] <FusionXN1> shawn_: thats your problem
[02:10] <shawn_> FusionXN1, what is?
[02:10] <tsume> mdious: I need to get a 1U supermicro server :) like what hosting facilities use
[02:10] <shawn_> FusionXN1, http://pastebin.ca/105910
[02:10] <Jack_Sparrow> MilesAttacca: I will try the other in a minute
[02:10] <FusionXN1> shawn_: you set it for 1 4 6 15 16 24, i did that and same happened to me. I onyl edited 24 and it worked
[02:10] <Adam_G> facugaich, thank you
[02:10] <mdious> tsume>what's freebsd like...i've only ever used a live cd...more of an openbsd man myself even though I don't really use it but would love to get some time with it
[02:10] <mdious> tsume>nice hehe...
[02:11] <AndyCooll> shawn_: Pardon my ignorance, since I don't use that resolution. What is the "_60" bit mean?
[02:11] <phargle> hurts
[02:11] <shawn_> refresh rate
[02:11] <ETronik> timalot, and I also lost the digi cam connectivity, and Palm syncing...
[02:11] <tsume> mdious: heh :) I've been using BSD since 99, linux before them. I deal with mostly server system which makes the need for a BSD system(not linux)
[02:11] <ryantrip> what is the prossess "Xorg"
[02:11] <MilesAttacca> Jack_Sparow: All I know is that for each one of those commands after I enter it in the GRUB command list and hit "b", it goes through the apparent boot sequence and then stops at the first of those with Error 27: Unrecognized command.
[02:12] <oblib> Can anyone help me resolve some apt-get problems?
[02:12] <FusionXN1> shawn_: TRY THIS: http://pastebin.ca/105913
[02:12] <oblib> I get : trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/lib2Dfft.so.1', which is also in package mffm-fftw1
[02:12] <roostishaw> anyone, how can i play back a test from the terminal that i recorded with the selenium ide extention?
[02:12] <tsume> mdious: another reason why Mono will never make it in the long run, little to no BSD support :) Mono is a waste( the .NET opensource implementation)
[02:12] <AndyCooll> shawn_: Ahh. Thanks. Have you tried removing that for now? Clutching at straws I know
[02:12] <mdious> tsume>sounds good...I'd love to be able to concentrate on server only systems...must make life a bit easier
[02:12] <timalot> ETronik: yeah for some reason it doesnt notify the gui apps anymore when i plug in a usb device.... it's going to be a bitch of a problem to fix... thats why i am not trying
[02:12] <mdious> oh please don't mention mono it makes me want to vomit, who would want to run .NET on linux lol
[02:12] <tsume> mdious: yeah, they do. You'll deal with high end cisco as well.
[02:12] <FusionXN1> shawn_: oops i ment: http://pastebin.ca/105914
[02:13] <mdious> tsume>sounds like my gamble might work :)
[02:13] <tsume> mdious: you'll definitely love cisco
[02:13] <mdious> say I set up say....bsd, linux and open solaris...what sort of things do you recomend I get my skills up with in my spare time so I can be more employable?
[02:13] <FusionXN1> Anyone help me with a MYSQL 5 command?!
[02:13] <rgg> my problem is that i'm trying to compile the spca5xx drivers and i receive the following message:

[02:13] <ryantrip> can some one explain what xorg is?
[02:13] <Akein> I hate myself
[02:13] <tsume> mdious: I'm only using a 1U server for the router because I've to make it a router, PLUS a policy server(proxy logs email caching, etc)
[02:14] <rgg> what is wrong with that?
[02:14] <kitsuneofdoom> I am having a problem with Checkinstall. I have Ubuntu (64 bit version). The Package is x86_64, but checkinstall refuses to install it on my system, because it
[02:14] <tsume> mdious: I'd use cisco if I had more money. :))
[02:14] <kitsuneofdoom> is amd64
[02:14] <rgg> am i missing packages or something?
[02:14] <jhasse> Can someone tell my why i can't even play mp3's with the Totem Video-Player??
[02:14] <kitsuneofdoom> WHICH IS THE SAME THING

[02:14] <Jack_Sparrow> MilesAttacca: are you leaving the two dashes at the end of the grub list, have you verified there are no errors with the built in self test?
[02:14] <mdious> tsume>hehe...I do like being able to offer people the linux solution to routing also though...give them a thrill and save them some money...if it is in the right condition I do believe it is good to spend money on cisco for some things
[02:14] <facugaich> rgg: it's a package
[02:14] <ryantrip> oblib: it takes up alot of cpu
[02:15] <facugaich> rgg: ah, wait
[02:15] <rgg> facugaich: let me look for it on synaptic
[02:15] <FusionXN1> I cant get my 2 hdds mounted. Can someone help me
[02:15] <tsume> mdious: heh. I wouldn't rely too much on netfilter(iptables)
[02:15] <MilesAttacca> Jack_Sparrow: Two dashes? Didn't see any.
[02:15] <FusionXN1> shawn_: did you try that i sent you
[02:15] <FusionXN1> shawn_: mins the same as that and it works
[02:15] <ryantrip> oblib: is it suposed to take up alot of cpu?
[02:15] <FusionXN1> mines*
[02:15] <tsume> mdious: esp when it comes to routing, I'd probably pick OpenBSD if it worked on the box, but it doesn't. So I'm stuck with FreeBSD
[02:15] <Jack_Sparrow> MilesAttacca: are you using the live cd?
[02:15] <rgg> facugaich: no,i didnt have the readers

[02:15] <tsume> mdious: OpenBSD is the most secure compared to the other opensource OSes
[02:16] <facugaich> rgg: I misread, I don't think taht's the problem
[02:16] <Luna-Tick> jhasse: mp3s are "Restricted Formats" because they are covered by patents. This means that the use of the format is restricted by the person who came up with it. Compare this to .ogg files which are not at all restricted.

[02:16] <rgg> facugaich: ok.
[02:16] <mdious> tsume>yeah...hey I like iptables and I do rely on it a bit ;)
[02:16] <tsume> mdious: its more of the internals of the OS which you won't see without reading what they've done :)
[02:16] <Luna-Tick> jhasse: you can play them, but you need to get a package
[02:16] <jmichaelx> how do you remove someone from your ignore list?
[02:16] <oblib> ryantrip: it always takes that much? That's weird
[02:16] <jhasse> Luna-Tick: How can i get Totem to play them, i mean: XMMS can do that, why can't totem?
[02:16] <rgg> facugaich: downloading it anyway :P
[02:16] <tsume> mdious: iptables just doesn't match up to PF nor cisco :)
[02:16] <jkp_> hey all - can someone tell me where x is started from under ubuntu?  i was looking in inittab but i see nothing
[02:16] <kitsuneofdoom> Nevermind, my problem is solved

[02:17] <oblib> ryantrip: could be
[02:17] <Luna-Tick> jhasse: the difference is that totem comes installed by default and we can't have Ubuntu install mp3 support by default. You can easily make them play, go to

[02:32] <FusionXN1> Jack_Sparrow: ya
[02:32] <gnomefreak> Amaranth: it worked for me ;) you can run it seperatly if you please but isnt it the same?
[02:32] <Amaranth> gnomefreak: just install menu and menu-xdg then run sudo update-menus
[02:32] <awe6> gnomefreak: I already installed debian menu with Synaptic.  Is there an executable?
[02:33] <gnomefreak> ah forgot that way
[02:33] <AndyCooll> FusionXN1: as in "sudo mkdir /mount/point"?
[02:33] <Amaranth> gnomefreak: unless you tried to unhide debian before, then it's marked as hidden in alacarte
[02:33] <Jack_Sparrow> FusionXN1: did you try  /sdd1  as well?
[02:33] <FusionXN1> AndyCooll: no
[02:33] <carlitos> buenas noches
[02:33] <gnomefreak> awe6: no debian menu will show up in your gnome menu
[02:33] <awe6> gnomefreak: Well I'm running KDE actually and nothing showed up in the K menu.
[02:33] <jhasse> I have problems with sound: 2 sec delay when playing sounds. My soundchip is nforce2-onboard. Can someone help me?
[02:34] <AndyCooll> FusionXN1: Well that's how I always create one. What are thinking of?
[02:34] <Luna-Tick> Fusion: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount
[02:34] <awe6> gnomefreak: If I knew what to execute I could make an icon and put it in the menu myself.
[02:34] <gnomefreak> awe6: you might have to restart the kicker
[02:34] <mae> Hi! Whats a lightweight command-line firewall configurator?
[02:34] <gnomefreak> awe6: update-menus
[02:34] <Anderson> Is there any configuration file that would cause apt-get to not automatically install dependencies, as it usually does?
[02:34] <mae> I'm thinking something like shorewall but more basic - the main thing i'll be using it for is basic port filtering
[02:34] <awe6> gnomefreak: I stopped KDE with ctl-alt-backspace and restarted it.
[02:34] <Anderson> Is there any configuration file that would cause apt-get to not automatically install dependencies, as it usually does?
[02:34] <brett_tolbert> hey guys
[02:35] <mdious> hi brett
[02:35] <FusionXN1> AndyCooll: you star :) Only thing now is only 1 is showing in computer
[02:35] <awe6> gnomefreak: Hm update-menus...  I'll look for that.
[02:35] <awe6> gnomefreak: Thanks a meg.
[02:35] <gnomefreak> awe6: type it in terminal
[02:35] <dadgumit> hola all
[02:35] <trafiq> hm i cant find option high memory setup - im trying compile 2.6.17 kernel :/
[02:35] <gnomefreak> it will reset menus and should show up
[02:35] <awe6> gnomefreak: Yes I like to work there <g>
[02:35] <trafiq> high memory support*
[02:36] <FusionXN1> AndyCooll: Anyway to restart the service or something - someone told me to do that before and the 3rd hdd appeared in computer
[02:36] <wheels3572> How do I go about getting my ip address and stuff like that in Ubuntu?
[02:37] <Akein> ifconfig
[02:37] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: ifconfig
[02:37] <wheels3572> ty
[02:37] <sorush20> hi guys my cups is not running how do I find out what is the problem?
[02:37] <Akein> I am having problems making my user the owner of a drive I just put in
[02:38] <thoreauputic> sorush20: have you tried   sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart   ?
[02:38] <AndyCooll> FusionXN1: Well, first you have to create the mount point as I have just explained. Then you either manually mount it, or add it to /etc/fstab so it will automatically mount on boot-up
[02:38] <FusionXN1> AndyCooll: i did and mounted them and i can see them in /media/sdb/c 1
[02:38] <phargle> can someone help me, im receiving; E: Couldn't find package linux-tree.  I already have universe and mutliverse enabled in my sources.list
[02:38] <phargle> when trying to sudo apt-get install linux-tree on 6.06
[02:39] <mdious> I'm heading off, Cya tsume.  Catcha everyone :)
[02:39] <wheels3572> Where in the ifconfig Akein or thoreauputic can I tell what the ip address of my router is and not my specific computer?
[02:39] <dario314> Hello. Greetings from NewbieLand.
[02:40] <Madpilot> dario314, everyone comes from there :) Welcome to #ubuntu
[02:40] <wheels3572> 192.168.1.104 is the ipaddress i come up with not sure if that's my router or my actual pc
[02:40] <Luna-Tick> that is you
[02:40] <dario314> sounds like you
[02:40] <AndyCooll> Akein: something like: sudo chown -R  akein /media/hdd1
[02:40] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: type  route -n and look for the gateway IP
[02:40] <Akein> thats what I tried
[02:41] <wheels3572> ok ty thoreauputic
[02:41] <jhasse> I have problems with sound: 2 sec delay when playing sounds. My soundchip is nforce2-onboard. Can someone help me?
[02:41] <dario314> Isn't it like 192.168.0.1?
[02:41] <thoreauputic> dario314: not necessarily
[02:41] <FusionXN1> BRB
[02:41] <spades> should be the .1 on whatever subnet your pc is
[02:41] <Luna-Tick> Not always - mine isn't
[02:41] <jn> any get ansi to display correctly in dapper
[02:41] <dario314> Maybe that's D-Link
[02:41] <jn> anyone*
[02:41] <Luna-Tick> By default it is usually .1
[02:42] <Anderson> !menuconfig
[02:42] <ubotu> I know nothing about menuconfig - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[02:42] <wheels3572> Ok In the routing table I found 2 that will be easy to figure out which one it is ty thoreauputic
[02:42] <Renan_s2> on my router it is 192.168.1.1
[02:42] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: yw :)
[02:42] <Anderson> =?
[02:42] <AndyCooll> And my router is 192.168.2.1
[02:42] <wheels3572> what is 192.168.1.0? just outta curiousity
[02:42] <Renan_s2> on D-Link it is 10.1.1.1, usually
[02:42] <bbrazil> wheels3572: what model router?
[02:42] <Anderson> Does debian not support menuconfig, or ubuntu?
[02:42] <thoreauputic> Renan_s2: it varies - mine is 10.1.1.1 for example
[02:43] <AndyCooll> That's your network address
[02:43] <bbrazil> Anderson: menuconfig works fine, just make sure you have libncurses5
[02:43] <wheels3572> Renan_s2, that sounds like you have a DSL MOdem
[02:43] <Renan_s2> wheels3572, I do
[02:43] <brett_tolbert> i'm a brand new linux user, i've just installed ubuntu and one of the first things i'm trying to do is install gtk pod so that i can use my ipod.  i've downloaded the tarballs for libgpod and gtkpod and my first attempt at installing a binary on linux from source has failed miserably, lol. i don't really know what i'm doing but i found a tutorial on the net on installing binarys from source and i attempted to try to uncompress the t
[02:43] <AndyCooll> Will probably mean your router is 192.168.1.1 in which case
[02:43] <Renan_s2> a DSL modem operating as a PPPoE router.
[02:43] <dario314> I installed...err... I think I installed Ubuntu on this Pentium 200 with 64MB RAM... but... where's my GUI?
[02:43] <bbrazil> brett_tolbert: gtkpod is in universe
[02:44] <thoreauputic> dario314: did you do a server install?
[02:44] <brett_tolbert> in universe?
[02:44] <wheels3572> Renan_s2, Thought so 10 usually is a Modem address anyone correct me if I am wrong please
[02:44] <bbrazil> Renan_s2: what model?
[02:44] <Renan_s2> bbrazil, Xavi x8121r (GS8100 chipset)
[02:44] <Anderson> wheels3572, it's the network address for your ip range.
[02:44] <Anderson> wheels3572, Are you familiar with IP and how it works?
[02:44] <dario314> I used the Alternate CD image, low-memory mode and I even had to make the partitions myself under the 8GB limit
[02:44] <bbrazil> wheels3572: actually 192.168 is more usual. Only 2 brands use 10 that I know of
[02:44] <thoreauputic> wheels3572:  route -n should show you the gateway address - that would be it
[02:45] <dario314> I expected a shiny new desktop and I get dario@ubuntu:~$_
[02:45] <thoreauputic> bbrazil: yes - mine is Siemans and uses 10.1.1.1
[02:45] <thoreauputic> *Siemens
[02:45] <AndyCooll> brett_tolbert: Try System-->Administration-->Synaptic Package Manager. Do a search in there for gtkpod
[02:45] <Anderson> wheels3572, Are you reffering to your cable, dsl, or dialup modem?
[02:45] <neutrinomass> dario314: Maybe it was a server install, or the server cd ?
[02:46] <AndyCooll> brett_tolbert: That's the easy way to install new software
[02:46] <brett_tolbert> sure. so your saying that i don't have to install it from source because a gtk-pod package comes with ubuntu or something?
[02:46] <wheels3572> I understand that thoreauputic  I have the address info :).  My router info is 192.168.1.1 and my DSL modem is 10.0.0.2 :).
[02:46] <dario314> Can I use the normal Desktop CD with 64MB of RAM?
[02:46] <thoreauputic> dario314: on that box I would either install xubuntu-desktop or x-window-system-core and fluxbox
[02:46] <wheels3572> Anderson, I was referring to my router address in the earlier statements
[02:46] <skarface> does anyone know how to make wine use a certain windows login name?
[02:46] <ChrisNiemy> desktop cd requires 256MB RAM, i guess
[02:47] <Renan_s2> ChrisNiemy, 192MB
[02:47] <wheels3572> but I noticed someone mentioned the 10 address so I thougth I would through my 2 cents worth in that dont mean nothing so I will keep quiet lol
[02:47] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: ah you have a separate modem/ route set up ?
[02:47] <Akein> this is quite irritating
[02:47] <wheels3572> Yes thoreauputic I have had my DSL Modem about 2yrs before I got my router :)
[02:47] <AndyCooll> brett_tolbert: No you don't have to install from source, most packages have pre-compiled binaries stored in "repositories". Universe being one of them
[02:47] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: I see
[02:47] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, my Router is a Linksys WRT54G
[02:48] <AndyCooll> brett_tolbert:  And Synaptic is your shortcut to those Repositories
[02:48] <bbrazil> dario314: no. Your best chance is the alternate cd
[02:48] <gakt> anyone here use Cband?
[02:48] <gakt> for apache
[02:48] <Akein> my hard drive [which was NTFS until about 30 minutes ago] , is now ext3, according to all fdisk and Disk Manager etc, but still reads as NTFS, and my attemps to make myself the owner of said disk have resulted only in endless lists of Windows files that are being "owned" read-only, but none are viewable or editable, and it still shows as being owned by root :(
[02:49] <brett_tolbert> cool thats great to know, but i'd still like to know how to install binary's from source.  i'd really like to know why tar says that libgpod.tar.gz is not in gzip format. what am i doing wrong.
[02:49] <FusionXN1> AndyCooll: Thanks mate, rebooted and there all there
[02:50] <wheels3572> Can I ask a NON ubuntu question in here?
[02:50] <Akein> no, we are all guys
[02:50] <thoreauputic> brett_tolbert: did you use  tar xvzf libgpod.tar.gz   to untar it?
[02:50] <AndyCooll> brett_tolbert: Start off by hunting down "build-essential" in Synaptic
[02:50] <brett_tolbert> thoreau: yes exactly
[02:51] <wheels3572> Akein, was that no to me?
[02:51] <brett_tolbert> xvzf
[02:51] <FusionXN1> How can i make it so mounted drives are not shown on the desktop?
[02:51] <Akein> wheels3572:: yep
[02:51] <Akein> wheels3572:: no girls here, so you don't need to ask :P
[02:51] <wheels3572> lol
[02:51] <wheels3572> It's router related lol
[02:51] <Anderson> wheels3572, Ok, that's an accurate statement. The actual IP configurations, as was stated by bbrazil  would vary depending on the vendor, or your configurations.
[02:51] <thoreauputic> brett_tolbert: and it complained? What does   file  libgpod.tar.gz   say?
[02:52] <wheels3572> Anderson, ty
[02:52] <squeakypants> hello people
[02:52] <tet> hi, can u help me with IRC?
[02:52] <thoreauputic> tet: in what way?
[02:52] <wheels3572> How do I release my routers IP address and my pc ip address to get them back in synch with what they really SHOULD be.  I know it dont really matter but to me it drives me nuts lol.
[02:52] <tet> are there any clients for irc in ubuntu?
[02:52] <ubuntu> holllo
[02:52] <Renan_s2> tet, yes
[02:53] <squeakypants> tet: many
[02:53] <thoreauputic> tet: of course
[02:53] <brett_tolbert> thoreauputic:     brett@brett-laptop:~/Desktop$ tar xvzf libgpod-0.3.2.tar.gz
[02:53] <brett_tolbert> gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
[02:53] <Renan_s2> Gaim can be used as IRC client , and there is Xchat.
[02:53] <tet> which is installed?
[02:53] <thoreauputic> brett_tolbert: what does  "file libgpod-0.3.2.tar.gz "  without quotes say ?
[02:53] <squeakypants> go to the applications menu at the top of your screen
[02:53] <squeakypants> and go to internet
[02:53] <squeakypants> then xchat
[02:54] <`JB> I am watching this on Chatzilla as IRC client
[02:54] <tet> ok... a second question... is there any simple way to get the webcam working in ubuntu with amsn?
[02:54] <brett_tolbert> thoreauputic: libgpod-0.3.2.tar.gz: HTML document text
[02:54] <brett_tolbert> is that bad?
[02:54] <thoreauputic> brett_tolbert: well it isn't a tar.gz then, is it ?
[02:54] <brett_tolbert> lol
[02:54] <brett_tolbert> i feel dumb.
[02:54] <brett_tolbert> i must have downloaded incorrectly
[02:55] <brett_tolbert> thanks
[02:55] <thoreauputic> :)
[02:56] <SurfnKid> dead
[02:56] <SurfnKid> of course its saturday
[02:56] <SurfnKid> :P
[02:56] <Anderson> wheels3572, are you sure your DSL modem has an IP, I've never heard of that before. As far as I knew the only purpose of the DSL modem was to convert data signals, leaving all IP management to the router.
[02:56] <Anderson> wheels3572, to renew your ip address from the service provider, you should have a dhcp release and renew option in the router config.
[02:56] <FusionXN1> How do you change what a particular file type opens with by default?
[02:56] <wheels3572> Anderson my ip address for the modem (which sets my modem configuration stuff is 10.0.0.2
[02:57] <double-zero> Anderson, you are brazilian?
[02:57] <thoreauputic> Anderson: some modems are sort of like routers and have similar functionality ( mine does )
[02:57] <Renan_s2> mine does, too
[02:57] <squeakypants> brett-tolbert: make sure to check the CRC of your iso ;)
[02:57] <tet> Hi.... can anybody help me with a webcam in Ubuntu? My webcam is a Logitech Messenger...
[02:57] <thoreauputic> Anderson: for instance I can port-forward and it does nat etc
[02:58] <wheels3572> Anderson, my ip address of my pc is 192.168.1.104 mind you I have no other computers between the router and pc except this one lol my laptop is shutoff lol
[02:58] <squeakypants> tet: i can't help directly, but try just googling "linux webcam"
[02:58] <squeakypants> or "gnome webcam" assuming you're using gnome
[02:58] <trafiq> hey
[02:58] <rgg> can any user of the spca5xx driver help me?
[02:58] <trafiq> if i compile kernel and in line
[02:58] <trafiq> make-kpkg -initrd --revision=386 kernel_image kernel_headers modules_image
[02:58] <rgg> i compiled it but i don't know how to "test" it
[02:59] <squeakypants> you probably need either a linux driver or a logitech driver
[02:59] <trafiq> if i have amd64 should i write revision=amd64?
[02:59] <tet> ive done it already, squeakypants, but it seems that nobody has been able to cope with it
[02:59] <squeakypants> huh?
[02:59] <squeakypants> well, is it visible in /dev/?
[02:59] <tet> I tried to use the so called qc-usb driver... it loads (using modprobe)
[02:59] <tet> bu it does not work properly
[03:00] <squeakypants> hmm
[03:00] <squeakypants> what program are you using it with?
[03:00] <tet> actually, the dev/video0 is not created at all, so no application findes the device
[03:00] <tet> amsn
[03:00] <squeakypants> hmm
[03:00] <rbman> interesting...I'm dealing with a /dev/video issue as well
[03:00] <squeakypants> i forget the exact comand
[03:00] <Anderson> thoreauputic, I've never seen that before, who is your service provider?
[03:00] <Anderson> double-zero, No, I'm not brazilian
[03:00] <squeakypants> but there's a way t ocreate the device
[03:00] <squeakypants> it's like makedev or something
[03:00] <Tokeiito> good night
[03:01] <squeakypants> !google makedev
[03:01] <ubotu> I know nothing about google makedev - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[03:01] <double-zero> Anderson, i'm sorry
[03:01] <thoreauputic> Anderson: optusnet ( Australian)
[03:01] <rbman> the one I have (quickcam) is running through the LPT and ps2 keyboard outputs...is there any support for such a device?
[03:01] <CarlFK> what is the command to sync my clock to a time server?
[03:01] <squeakypants> does anyone here feel like dealing with windows?
[03:01] <thoreauputic> CarlFK: ntpdate
[03:01] <CarlFK> and the name of a time server (what I really need)
[03:02] <tet> isnt it supposed to be created on the fly when the actual device is connected to the usb port?
[03:02] <squeakypants> tet: yes, but sometimes it doesn't
[03:02] <squeakypants> same thing happened with my crappy gameport gamepad
[03:02] <tet> ok... ill give it a try... tkanx a lot
[03:02] <CarlFK> sudo ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com
[03:02] <squeakypants> which i never got working in *nix ;)
[03:02] <gakt> anyone here run an apache server?
[03:02] <squeakypants> np
[03:03] <rbman> during boot the light on the camera stays on up until the os loads..then it goes out :(
[03:03] <Anderson> thoreauputic, How old is your modem, and is that a Web interface or a CLI (Telnet, ssh?)
[03:03] <brett_tolbert> thoreauputic: i re-downloaded libgpod and gtkpod and this time tar worked perfectly, but when i tried to run "./configure",  i get "configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH", i suppose i should look in the ubuntu package manager and install gcc or something, right?
[03:04] <thoreauputic> Anderson: recent - Siemens 4200 , and it has a web interface at 10.1.1.1
[03:04] <thoreauputic> brett_tolbert: install build-essential
[03:04] <lemac> what's the best mp3 player ?
[03:04] <Anderson> !build-essential > brett_tolbert
[03:04] <thoreauputic> lemac: a matter for flamewars ;-)
[03:05] <thoreauputic> lemac: beep-media-player is like winamp, or you cn use totem or rhythmbox etc with the right codecs/packages
[03:05] <rbman> anybody got a suggestion on how I can run modeprobe against the lpt port?
[03:05] <thoreauputic> !restricted > lemac
[03:06] <thoreauputic> rbman: you don't run modprobe against a port - you use it to load drivers/modules
[03:06] <rbman> thoreauputic, doh
[03:07] <thoreauputic> rbman: so what are you trying to do?
[03:07] <rbman> thoreauputic, i just want to activate this webcam...it's the type that connects to the keyboard and the lpt port
[03:07] <brett_tolbert> in linux, if a program freezes up or something, is there something equivalent to windows "ctrl-alt-del"?
[03:07] <joselecaros> !ping
[03:07] <ubotu> pong
[03:07] <lemac> i think that bmp was obsolete
[03:08] <thoreauputic> rbman: do you know the name of the module? if so run  sudo modprobe <modulename>
[03:08] <squeakypants> bmp < jpg
[03:08] <squeakypants> jpg < tiff
[03:08] <squeakypants> tiff < eps
[03:08] <squeakypants> eps == psd
[03:08] <thoreauputic> lemac: not really - it's not as obsolete as xmms anyway :)
[03:08] <rbman> thoreauputic, wish I did :(
[03:08] <lemac> thoreauputic: okay thanks :)
[03:09] <Anderson> thoreauputic, have you built a kernel?
[03:09] <squeakypants> i'm having trouble with my computer
[03:09] <squeakypants> i think i might have burnt something out
[03:09] <rbman> thoreauputic, been google-ing like a freak looking for anybody discussing it...so far no results
[03:09] <thoreauputic> Anderson: no, I just use the images so far - I haven't needed to compile a kernel yet
[03:09] <squeakypants> how would i tell if something was wrong with any part of my computer
[03:09] <squeakypants> ergh, how would i identify what part of my computer is wrong
[03:10] <brett_tolbert> if a program freezes up in ubuntu, what is the best way to force kill it?
[03:10] <squeakypants> alt-f4?
[03:10] <thoreauputic> Anderson: I compile other stuff though - fluxbox for example, and modules for my iBook to use mac-on-linux etc
[03:11] <edju> About to install ubuntu on a disk w/ windoze on hda1.  Can I start partitioning on hda5?
[03:11] <thoreauputic> brett_tolbert: usually " killall programname " works
[03:11] <jn> im trying to get bitchx to display ansi correctly, i installed the font vga but i am still not displaying the ansi correctly please help
[03:11] <brett_tolbert> cool i'll try that, alt-f4 isn't doing anything for me.
[03:11] <thoreauputic> jn: use irssi ;-)
[03:11] <jn> i think it's a TERM varible maybe right now im using TERM=vt100
[03:12] <jn> thoreauputic: that doesn't solve my problem bro
[03:12] <thoreauputic> jn: i was kidding
[03:12] <jn> do you have any idea on what im missing here it was pretty easy in redhat
[03:12] <brett_tolbert> well, what if i'm not sure what the program name is,  see, ubuntu's add remove applications has frozen on me. how would i end it?
[03:13] <thoreauputic> brett_tolbert:  sudo killall gnome-app-install
[03:13] <thoreauputic> brett_tolbert: but be careful it isn't installing something
[03:14] <thoreauputic> brett_tolbert: else bad things can happen
[03:14] <brett_tolbert> hmm, it may be but i'm pretty sure its frozen. i just told it to install k3b and amarok and its been busy doing nothing for half an hour.
[03:14] <sproingie> brett_tolbert: alt-f2, xkill
[03:14] <sproingie> brett_tolbert: click on the window you want dead
[03:15] <thoreauputic> brett_tolbert: and are k3b and amarok insalled and runnable ?
[03:15] <thoreauputic> *installed
[03:15] <sproingie> brett_tolbert: also you can do the windowsish thing of right-clicking on the taskbar button and clicking close
[03:15] <thoreauputic> sproingie: that probably won't kill all processes because gnome-app-install runs as root ( sudo)
[03:16] <Anderson> Can someone explain what the kernel repository is? Is it the actual source, the modules, a list of the modules, something else?
[03:16] <brett_tolbert> no k3b and amarok did not install yet.
[03:16] <brett_tolbert> but it add remove apps seems to be nonresponsive
[03:16] <sproingie> thoreauputic: root owns the process but you can often kill the window which will cause the process to die
[03:16] <thoreauputic> brett_tolbert: then it's likely apt/dpkg are stalled - in which case killing them might bork the system
[03:16] <Anderson> Can someone explain what the kernel repository is? Is it the actual source, the modules, a list of the modules, something else?
[03:17] <thoreauputic> sproingie: my experience is that xkill ( which is the same idea) often doesn't clean up after itself
[03:17] <witless> is xubuntu alive/thriving/recommended/discouraged for low-end machines?
[03:17] <thoreauputic> Anderson: I don't understand what you mean by the kernel repository...
[03:18] <dr_willis_> witless,  i just installed it. :P
[03:18] <dr_willis_> witless,  testing it out now.
[03:18] <neutrinomass> witless: All the first three :)
[03:18] <witless> ok, cool
[03:18] <thoreauputic> witless: xubuntu is good for lo end systems, yes
[03:18] <thoreauputic> *low
[03:18] <dr_willis_> I still want a MatchBox Based release! :)
[03:18] <lophyte> how can I configure which sound card SDL uses?
[03:18] <neutrinomass> witless: What sort of system are you talking about though ?
[03:18] <Anderson> thoreauputic, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelGitGuide under the Getting the rep section
[03:18] <dr_willis_> bbl
[03:18] <sproingie> thoreauputic: it indeed doesnt, sending a TERM is probably better
[03:19] <scabootssca> how would i change folder permissions so anyone can edit a certin folder not just root?
[03:19] <thoreauputic> Anderson: ah, you're using vanilla kernels from the git pool ? I don't know about that ( I know of it but I haven't tried it)
[03:19] <lecaros> !ping
[03:19] <ubotu> pong
[03:20] <tokenbad> friend is trying to use ubuntu cd but it gets to loading the pcmica drivers
[03:20] <tokenbad> is there a fix for that?
[03:20] <Anderson> thoreauputic, as far as apt-get is concerned, is the repository the storage location of the debian packages for a certain release, etc (i forget what the restricted / universe thing is called)
[03:20] <sproingie> the git pool ... sounds like some of my coworkers
[03:20] <thoreauputic> Anderson: repositories are collections of .deb packages, yes
[03:21] <Anderson> thoreauputic, maybe it's the collection of the kernel... source files maybe?
[03:21] <thoreauputic> Anderson: as I understand it, "git" is Linus's access tool for kernel source code
[03:22] <visualdensity> Hi all, how do I list packages available for upgrade using apt-get? I mean I can search using apt-search, but how do I know which local package has a new version?
[03:23] <visualdensity> *sorry.. i mean search using apt-cache int he above
[03:23] <Anderson> thoreauputic, originally there were some other kernel building tools config, menuconfig, and xconfig
[03:23] <Anderson> thoreauputic, git is ubuntu's solution
[03:23] <Anderson> thoreauputic, http://www.linux.org/lessons/interm/c2496.html
[03:23] <thoreauputic> visualdensity: apt-cache policy <packagename> tells you versions and candidates
[03:24] <ETronik> guys, can I have one user using Gnome and another user in the same box/system using KDE ??
[03:24] <lophyte> anyone know how I can configure which sound card SDL uses, for games?
[03:24] <visualdensity> thoreauputic: ahh. thanks. So, there's no way of just listing those which are upgradable?
[03:24] <neutrinomass> Anderson: AFAIK, menuconfig xconfig etc. are still the way to configure your kernel. This is the way you specify whether you want feature X compiled in the kernel, as a module or not at all. Git is a filesystem like tool/protocol and is basically a revision control system (i.e. does what CVS and SVN do, but more )
[03:25] <lophyte> !sdl
[03:25] <ubotu> I know nothing about sdl - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[03:25] <lophyte> bah.
[03:25] <maxLF> anyone know how to config a controller in Visualboy advance?
[03:25] <tutku_dalmaz> hi there
[03:25] <thoreauputic> visualdensity: yes, look in synaptic - there are filters to do that
[03:26] <neutrinomass> Anderson: It's not a building tool, it's just a way to synchronise kernel development. Major kernel developers get their own git tree and stuff gets merged from one git tree to another. Linus' tree is what eventually will be a linux kernel release ...
[03:26] <thoreauputic> Anderson: no, "git" was written by Linus Torvalds
[03:26] <thoreauputic> Anderson: http://news.com.com/Torvalds+unveils+new+Linux+control+system/2100-7344_3-5678651.html
[03:26] <visualdensity> thoreauputic: i was using Synaptic.. but just thought there should be a way of doing that using CLI...
[03:26] <visualdensity> thoreauputic: thanks anyways!
[03:27] <thoreauputic> visualdensity: there probably is but I've never needed to find out :)
[03:27] <labreche> Hi, does anyone knows about kernel 2.6.17 and wifi?
[03:27] <Anderson> neutrinomass, so developers use development tools and merge all the changes using git?
[03:27] <Tamale> do 3d programs like penguin racer work if you have xgl on?
[03:27] <Anderson> neutrinomass, with the end result being a new kernel
[03:28] <visualdensity> thoreauputic: i know what you mean :) I'm gonna continue my search for this answer thru Google then. will be back!
[03:28] <gakt> how do i change a users password in ubuntu? its not letting me through the admin-user tool
[03:28] <Anderson> neutrinomass, would menuconfig, config, etc be the development tool, or is there a level deeper than these tools/
[03:28] <thoreauputic> gakt:  sudo passwd <username>
[03:29] <neutrinomass> Anderson: More or less, yes. It's just a way to manage different versions of files, to compares changes from one version to another e.t.c. If you search the Linux Kernel Mailing List you're going to find an extensive (and of course, technical ;) ) discussion of GIT - you might be interested in why the kernel developers had to code it.
[03:29] <wheels3572> How do I stop dhcpcd from starting up?
[03:29] <Asc> So, is the reason the package servers are scary-slow known?
[03:29] <Anderson> neutrinomass, I am, but I would like to understand kernel development first.
[03:30] <gakt> ty
[03:30] <thoreauputic> neutrinomass: heh - googling "Andrew Tridgell bitkeeper" might be one for him to read about it ;)
[03:31] <Anderson> neutrinomass, I started reading this tutorial http://www.linux.org/lessons/interm/c2496.html which directs me to /usr/src/linux, which I don't have, so I got a little confused, I did !kernel in here, and was directed to git
[03:31] <Anderson> !kernel
[03:31] <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
[03:31] <neutrinomass> Anderson: menuconfig, xconfig and friends are just ways to customize your kernel. A release is made, and you download the source. Then you want to compile it. But not everybody wants the same kernel. Some might want a kernel for an AMD64 system, another person may not want SCSI support and there are people that couldn't care less about NTFS filesystems ;) These tools allow you to customize what gets built and how it gets built. You can als
[03:32] <gakt> how come my root/main user can't view another users files, even with sudo
[03:32] <Asc> also, could somebody explain to me which of 'voluntary preempt' and 'kernel preempt' is better
[03:33] <neutrinomass> Anderson: "sudo apt-get install linux-source-2.6.15" should fix that ...
[03:33] <SeanTater> gakt: sudo probably protects against that
[03:34] <ardchoille> gakt: I use sudo nautilus to manage other user's files. Does that not work for you?
[03:34] <Anderson> neutrinomass, thanks, am i correct in understanding that menuconfig is one step 'higher level' than actually building a kernel?
[03:34] <ardchoille> Sorry, gksudo nautilus
[03:34] <gakt> the command?
[03:34] <gakt> im pretty new
[03:34] <Jack_Sparrow> ardchoille: Dangerous... please use GKSUDO NAUTILUS
[03:34] <mixx_> how do i kill a process that doesn't show up in ps -A?  I have Azureus that won't seem to close all its windows
[03:34] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[03:34] <ardchoille> Jack_Sparrow: yes, I know that
[03:34] <Jack_Sparrow> ardchoille: I make the same mistake trying to type too fast
[03:35] <bignose> hi. what's the name of that package that goes apeshit mad installing desktop apps , eyecandy and whatnot ?
[03:35] <ardchoille> Jack_Sparrow: It's this keyboard, it prints what it wants, not what *I* want
[03:35] <Jack_Sparrow> np, wasnt trying to step on toes
[03:35] <Anderson> !kernel_development
[03:35] <ubotu> I know nothing about kernel_development - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[03:35] <yipe> bignose, can you possibly be more vague?
[03:35] <neutrinomass> Anderson: Kernel development can get real tough you know ;) "menuconfig" is what you do before actually building the kernel, to determine how it will be built. Think of it as building a computer. "make menuconfig" is choosing what parts you will need to build it, "make" is actually putting the components together
[03:35] <wheels3572> !dhcpcd > wheels3572
[03:35] <ubotu> I know nothing about dhcpcd  - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[03:36] <ardchoille> gakt: You can run nautilus with: gksudo nautilus  and that should allow you to manage the other user's files
[03:36] <thoreauputic> mixx_: kill java
[03:36] <gakt> when trying to run gksudo natilus:     Child terminated with 1 status
[03:36] <bignose> yipe, it's the name of a huge meta package. possibly starts with an "a" i just can't think of the name
[03:36] <trafiq> kernel compiling :)
[03:36] <shinobi2> how do i set ubuntu to universal so i can installl midnight commander?
[03:36] <bignose> matrix or atrix or something similar.
[03:36] <gakt> what does that mena
[03:36] <gakt> mean8
[03:36] <thoreauputic> mixx_: azureus is running wih java - to kill it you need to kill java afaik
[03:36] <yipe> oh, you mean automatix don't you?
[03:36] <neutrinomass> Anderson: You'll need at least a fair understanding of C before doing any kernel DEVELOPMENT. Compiling is easier though (do you actually want to write drivers and stuff or just build a kernel ? )
[03:36] <bignose> yipe: I do ! thanks.
[03:36] <yipe> !automatix
[03:36] <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.
[03:36] <mixx_> thoreauputic: yeah i thought of that but i can't find any process that looks like java either
[03:36] <Anderson> neutrinomass, does building a kernel get down into machine code and IC languages?
[03:37] <bignose> tis the one.
[03:37] <yipe> !easyubuntu
[03:37] <ubotu> easyubuntu is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. See http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ ; for help and discussion of easyubuntu please join #easyubuntu.
[03:37] <Anderson> neutrinomass, everything  /=)
[03:37] <thoreauputic> mixx_: ps aux | grep java
[03:37] <yipe> hmmmm, those factoids have changed...
[03:37] <thoreauputic> mixx_: or just do " killall java "
[03:37] <gakt> nm it worked
[03:37] <mixx_> thoreauputic: you are the man!  thank you!
[03:38] <DM1> I have two ISP's on two different telephone (512k) lines and I was wondering is their someway I could use both of these together in Ubuntu ?
[03:38] <thoreauputic> mixx_:  :D
[03:38] <Madpilot> yipe, the automatix factoid is a lot more polite than it used to be
[03:38] <ardchoille> gakt: Just a friendly reminder, be careful with a gksudo nautilus window.. it can do anything :)
[03:38] <thoreauputic> Madpilot: a bit too polite, methinks
[03:38] <yipe> Madpilot, does this mean that automatix is no longer considered as dangerous as it once was?
[03:38] <Jack_Sparrow> ardchoille: Agreed... Use sparingly and with caution.
[03:39] <Madpilot> yipe, no idea, I've never touched it and still won't
[03:39] <tokenbad> friend is trying to use ubuntu cd but it gets to loading the pcmica drivers
[03:39] <tokenbad> is there a fix for that?
[03:39] <yipe> and that easyubuntu is now regarded as more dangerous than it once was?
[03:39] <neutrinomass> Anderson: Building a kernel is a no-brainer ;) Writing code for the kernel is tough though (you will either need a solid understanding of hardware or a solid grasp of the algorithms used in the kernel. If you're interested in learning loads about the kernel, there are plenty of O'Reilly books about it ....
[03:39] <ardchoille> Madpilot: Polite, yes, but I feel it should still politely tell the truth, but I'll shutup now.
[03:39] <Jack_Sparrow> yipe: USe at your own risk is a clue
[03:39] <neutrinomass> Anderson: Do you want to write drivers or just install a new kernel ?
[03:39] <tokenbad> I used easyubuntu with no problem
[03:39] <srikat> hi jack
[03:40] <tokenbad> but only in ubuntu....kubuntu would mess stuff up
[03:40] <Jack_Sparrow> tokenbad: IT works 9 out of 10 times...
[03:40] <Anderson> neutrinomass, thanks, i'll look into that, I have a basic understanding of hardware and want to expand on that, I studid electronics engineering before enlisting in the Marine Corps, and want to continue to develop my understanding of computers and computer technologies.
[03:40] <mournahan> can some help with my xorg.conf file
[03:40] <Jack_Sparrow> mournahan: whats up?
[03:40] <BioticPro> Anybody here use Smart for package management in ubuntu?  (if so what is good/bad of it)
[03:40] <thoreauputic> Jack_Sparrow: and we get to try and pick up the pieces for the 10% failure rate... :(
[03:40] <mournahan> it says I have a tablet PC display, but I dont
[03:41] <Jack_Sparrow> mournahan: gksudo gedit  /etc/x11/xorg.conf
[03:41] <tokenbad> anyone know why live cd wouldn't load on a laptop?
[03:41] <Tamale> how can i get my VTs to work on my laptop?
[03:41] <Jack_Sparrow> tokenbad: SURE lots of reasons... lots of unusual hardware.
[03:42] <ChrisNiemy> tokenbad try the kernel boot parameters noapic and nolapic
[03:42] <mournahan> I see it but how do I change it with out screewing up my x server
[03:42] <mournahan> I will paste it at the pastebin
[03:42] <neutrinomass> Anderson: There's this book I had for the 2.4 kernel from Oreilly, "Understanding the linux kernel" which was quite good and thorough. The "Linux Kernel Hackers Guide" is also a good one (I think it's available on the net as well )
[03:42] <thoreauputic> mournahan: a better way is to run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:42] <TokenBad> Jack_Sparrow and ChrisNiemy it only locks up with its loading the pcmcia drivers
[03:42] <FusionXN1> How can i find out what my ip is on ubuntu
[03:42] <Jack_Sparrow> tokenbad: You can make changes at boot time to the grub menu like  ide=nodma vga=normal nomce acpi=off pnpbios=off xdrvr=vesa xres=800x600 apm=off quiet
[03:43] <Evil_Ed`> Hello
[03:43] <ChrisNiemy> tokenbad: nopcmcia ?
[03:43] <thoreauputic> FusionXN1:  ifconfig   in a terminal
[03:43] <Jack_Sparrow> tokenbad: What card is in the pcmcia port
[03:43] <Evil_Ed`> ?
[03:43] <FusionXN1> thanks
[03:43] <Anderson> neutrinomass, thanks.
[03:43] <neutrinomass> Anderson: And last, "Writing Linux device drivers" ( I think OReilly, Allesandro - Rubini are the authors) is quite useful if you want to write a driver. Beware though: Every tutorial/book you will get will be at least slightly outdated ....
[03:44] <thoreauputic> neutrinomass: are you a kernel hacker ?
[03:44] <IRC> whats the command line to start tomcat
[03:44] <gakt> what does gksudo do? (opposed to just sudo)
[03:44] <Jack_Sparrow> gakt: for gui apps
[03:44] <ardchoille> sudo is for use with command line apps.. gksudo and gksu are for use with graphical apps
[03:45] <Anderson> neutrinomass, that's understandable, it's easy to get behind in technology
[03:45] <thoreauputic> gakt: it protects you from the bad things that can happen to X if you run apps in it with sudo
[03:45] <thoreauputic> :)
[03:45] <thoreauputic> gakt: more or less
[03:45] <gakt> ah cool
[03:45] <neutrinomass> thoreauputic: Wanted to be, got lost in the process ;) Damn thing is hard to track and I couldn't find anything useful to do either :(
[03:45] <srikat> I get warnings like this when running Add/Remove Applications:
[03:45] <ardchoille> thoreauputic: I'll add that to my personal wiki, it's a nice explanation
[03:45] <srikat> "W: GPG error: http://www.beerorkid.com dapper Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 31A5F97FED8A569E"
[03:45] <mister_roboto> thoreauputic: what bad things can happen to X?
[03:45] <Tonren> Hey guys, suppose I wanted to determine which port BitTorrent is working on.  What tool would I use to figure that out?
[03:45] <srikat> how do I get rid of those?
[03:46] <thoreauputic> neutrinomass: ah , OK - I was just curious :)
[03:46] <neutrinomass> Tonren: 'netstat' ?
[03:46] <Madpilot> srikat, you ran Automatix, didn't you?
[03:46] <Jack_Sparrow> !easysource
[03:46] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[03:46] <neutrinomass> thoreauputic: I tend to keep a catalogue of my library in my head as you can see though :P
[03:46] <Madpilot> srikat, welcome to one of the reasons it's not recommended...
[03:46] <srikat> no Madpilot, I have compiz and easyubuntu
[03:46] <Anderson> neutrinomass, have you heard of any new kernels... something completely new.. not linux, unix, dos, or anything like or based on those?
[03:46] <LuisMendes> can I use mplayer's plugin for firefox, in opera? or something like it
[03:46] <ardchoille> mister_roboto: I have witnessed a user using sudo with a graphical app and something changed .ICEauthority and teh user was no longer able to log in.
[03:46] <thoreauputic> mister_roboto: well, not X really - but some apps will lock ~/.ICEauthority or ~/.Xauthority if you eun them with sudo
[03:46] <Tonren> neutrinomass: Thanks, uh... how, um.  How do I know which one is BT?
[03:47] <mister_roboto> ardchoille: thoreauputic:   ahh, ok. yes, i've seen that.   had to "sudo chmod..."   :)
[03:47] <smack> anybody have hpt37x drivers compiled and working?
[03:47] <thoreauputic> mister_roboto: right
[03:47] <mister_roboto> thoreauputic: or chown, i forget, i think it may have become owned by root
[03:47] <Anderson> neutrinomass, if you want to master computers from the ground up, would you consider kernels a good place to start?
[03:48] <Jack_Sparrow> ardchoille: I saw same thing, it would let you enter user and pas and went back to the login
[03:48] <IRC> whats the tomcat start command?
[03:48] <thoreauputic> mister_roboto: yes, for example sudo chown user:user ~/.ICEauthoriy
[03:48] <lonelystar> ';
[03:48] <ardchoille> Jack_Sparrow: Yes, iirc, the ~/.ICEauthority file had its ownership changed to root. It was fixable, but a pain that can be avoided by using gksudo with graphical apps
[03:48] <neutrinomass> Anderson: There's quite a lot of information on OS development on the web if that's what you're looking for. Plenty of OS to learn from as well (Minix, *BSD, EduOS, ReactOS are the first that come to mind). From what I gather, writing a very very basic kernel is not *THAT* tough ;) No idea about mastering computers - but I'd rather start with application development instead ....
[03:49] <CoreyT> I'm having issues with the graphical and text installers.  They both error out on some ubiquity runtime error.  This is a AMD AM2 X2 3800+ Asus M2NPV-VM
[03:49] <thoreauputic> mister_roboto: you can also just blow that file away - it gets regenerated on login
[03:49] <neutrinomass> CoreyT: What do you mean text-based? The alternate CD?
[03:49] <Anderson> neutrinomass, on further thought, i suppose since mastering computers involves all aspects of computers, any place would work to start, because all things will innevitably fall in place from that point.
[03:49] <CoreyT> Yes
[03:49] <mister_roboto> thoreauputic: thanks for the info
[03:50] <thoreauputic> mister_roboto: yw :)
[03:50] <Tonren> neutrinomass: How do I know which port is BitTorrent from netstat...?
[03:50] <neutrinomass> CoreyT: And you get Ubiquity errors with the Alternate CD ?! Weird ...
[03:50] <ardchoille> thoreauputic: Which file gets regenerated at login?
[03:50] <CoreyT> I've tried various options such as noapic nolapic acpi=off in various combinations as well.
[03:50] <Tamale> how can i get the external VGA out connector on my laptop to work in ubuntu ?
[03:50] <thoreauputic> ardchoille: either /both ~/.ICEauthority or ~/.Xauthority
[03:51] <neutrinomass> Tonren: Sorry, that slipped my mind earlier. Hm... good question. Easy way: Only run bittorrent and look at netstat (or do a netstat, fire up bittorrent and do a netstat again ) ...
[03:51] <CoreyT> Ubiquity only on the Graphical.  But it quits in the same spot on the alternate in "Installing Software"
[03:51] <Jack_Sparrow> CoreyT: Grub Boot Options ide=nodma vga=normal nomce acpi=off pnpbios=off xdrvr=vesa xres=800x600 apm=off quiet  are some others
[03:51] <ardchoille> thoreauputic: I didn't know that little tidbit of info, thank you :)
[03:51] <smack> anybody have hpt37x drivers compiled and working?
[03:51] <thoreauputic> ardchoille: no problem :)
[03:51] <mphill> i am getting dcopserver errors when ever i try to run was appears to be a KDE application, i have a brand new install... everything else seems to work.  any clues?
[03:51] <neutrinomass> CoreyT: Are you sure the CDs are OK? It's quite easy to end up with a corrupt cd..... try running "check cd for defects" from the installation cd menu ...
[03:51] <Tonren> neutrinomass: I don't actually see a column for "port" in netstat
[03:52] <Jack_Sparrow> Goodnight all... time for dinner..
[03:52] <neutrinomass> Tonren: It's after the ':'. 127.0.0.1:80 means a connection to 127.0.0.1, on port 80
[03:52] <Tonren> neutrinomass: Oh, I see.  I was being lazy and didn't read it thoroughly enough
[03:52] <CoreyT> neutrinomass: Tried that too and md5 as well
[03:53] <TokenBad> there is nothing in the pcmcia slots
[03:53] <srikat> ok, I found the fix to GPG Errors upon running Add/Remove. Lemme know if anyone wants to know
[03:53] <thoreauputic> Tonren: there's a nice tool called "iftop" that lets you watch what's happening - you can run for instance   sudo iftop -BP -i eth0
[03:53] <neutrinomass> CoreyT: Hm... weird problem ... what error do you get ?
[03:53] <CoreyT> Strangely enough it's just the installer.. took a functioning install and put it in the pc and it worked.
[03:53] <Tonren> neutrinomass: How do I get netstat to show me the process ID or command from which each request is originating?
[03:53] <CoreyT> File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py", line 538, in progress_loop
[03:53] <CoreyT>     raise RuntimeError, ("Install failed with exit code %s; see "
[03:53] <CoreyT> RuntimeError: Install failed with exit code 1; see /var/log/installer/syslog and /var/log/syslog
[03:54] <neutrinomass> CoreyT: That's with the Desktop CD. Generally speaking, the alternate CD is much more reliable for installing ... what's the error you get with that ?
[03:54] <TokenBad> Jack_Sparrow, there is nothing in the pcmcia slots..and if he has it load without those...it don't boot at all
[03:55] <neutrinomass> CoreyT: In the mean time, it would be an excellent idea to file a bug against ubiquity. Include any error message, your machine configuration and /var/log/installer/syslog, /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman in the bug report ( http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+filebug )
[03:55] <M|nd^B3nd> hi, umm, i got a strange boot error on ubuntu live on my laptop...any one around and free to take a guess at it ?
[03:55] <TokenBad> Jack_Sparrow, M|nd^B3nd is the one that needs help
[03:55] <CoreyT> neutrinomass:  usr/lib/ubiquity/localechooser/prebaseconfig']  exited with code 139
[03:55] <CoreyT> Both of them are bugging out on localechooser
[03:56] <neutrinomass> CoreyT: Hm... sorry, can't help :-/ It should definitely be a bug though ....
[03:56] <Tamale> M|nd^B3nd:  what's the error?
[03:57] <M|nd^B3nd> there is no actuall error, it gets to the pcmcia drivers and stops @ 3%, the screen goes blank, and it tries again, same result, gets to 3% and the screen goes blank. it does this 5-10 times then the screen goes and stays blank
[03:57] <smack> anybody have hpt37x drivers compiled and working?
[03:57] <khaije1> does alsa provide multiple simultaneous sound inputs?
[03:57] <M|nd^B3nd> this is on a compaq laptop with 128 megs of ram, and a 400 mhz processor
[03:57] <khaije1> maybe it is only a audio driver framework?
[03:58] <serey> did anybody succeeded installing a Logitech Messenger Webcam in Ubuntu 6.06?
[03:58] <mournahan> anyone help with ubuntu freezing
[03:58] <M|nd^B3nd> give me a minute to get to that point and i'll let you know which file specifically.
[03:58] <mournahan> it slows right down then freezes
[03:58] <neutrinomass> serey: If it doesn't work plug and play, please file a bug for it :) Now to the question, no, unfortunately I have not (in other words, I can't really help you with it, sorry )
[03:59] <mournahan> got gdesklets to monitor system properties and didnt see anything
[03:59] <serey> neutrinomass: thanks, anyway... actually I've been struggling with it all day.... :-(
[04:00] <serey> neutrinomass: well... and how do I file a bug?
[04:00] <erUSUL> !bugs
[04:00] <ubotu> If you find a bug in Ubuntu, please report it at http://bugs.ubuntu.com
[04:01] <serey> thanx, u all!
[04:01] <neutrinomass> serey: http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+filebug . Include at least the last lines of /var/log/syslog, the output of 'dmesg' (after of course you've plugged the camera in). If it's USB, 'lsusb' will also be very helpful ...

[04:01] <raju25> Anyone here running Beagle?
[04:02] <raju25> What kind of performance impact does it have?
[04:02] <smack> so I guess not.
[04:02] <kaatil> hi all
[04:02] <dooglus> raju25: I'm not running it, because of the performance impact it has
[04:02] <serey> neutrinomass: well, actually.... I can see the correct device string in lsusb... the problem is that it simply does not work...
[04:02] <kaatil> i have question, how can i get scim to work with firefox.. i noticed it work with other but not firefox(i am using dagger btw)
[04:03] <kaatil> !scim
[04:03] <ubotu> Chinese, Japanese, Korean Language input. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SCIM
[04:03] <dooglus> raju25: I've seen beagle crash ubuntu before when I ran a big "rm -fr" on a directory in my home
[04:03] <neutrinomass> serey: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=456903 This might be useful, but I guess you've already stumbled across it ... (add a link to it in the bug report ;) )
[04:03] <serey> neutrinomass: I modprobed the "quickcam" module, but no /dev/video* device is created... and no app can see the device
[04:03] <raju25> dooglus, with Dapper?
[04:03] <Tonren> Hey guys, how do I get a process's PID?  I can't get it to show up in top
[04:04] <thoreauputic> Tonren: ps aux | grep appname
[04:04] <BioticPro> Has anyone tried running Symphonyos desktop (Mezzo) on Ubuntu?
[04:04] <raju25> Tonren, ps aux | grep process_name
[04:04] <neutrinomass> serey: Dapper ?
[04:05] <tritium_> raju25: or use pgrep

[04:05] <serey> ubuntu 6.06
[04:05] <raju25> tritium, I never knew that, wow, thanks
[04:05] <tritium> raju25: :)
[04:06] <thoreauputic> raju25: pidof is useful too
[04:06] <neutrinomass> serey: Bug #36226 is sort of relevant (shows that it's supposed to work out of the box) and MAYBE the bottom part of http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75284&highlight=webcam is also useful (but don't take my word for it ... )
[04:06] <raju25> Yeah, that works too, thoreauputic
[04:06] <raju25> :)
[04:06] <mournahan> anyone got a good resource for using ubuntu for a internet cafe
[04:06] <raju25> So anyone used Beagle with Dapper?
[04:06] <raju25> I REALLY wanna use it, those demos look so slick :)
[04:06] <thoreauputic> raju25: typically *nix - always several ways to do anything :)
[04:07] <raju25> dooglus, and were you using the latest version of Beagle?
[04:07] <mournahan> going to try to advertize open source in ontario with a internet cafe
[04:07] <wheels3572> Can anyone help me with something.  How can I tell if my modem is assigning DHCP or if my Router is?
[04:07] <thoreauputic> beagle seems to be a hungry puppy ( I uninstalled him)
[04:07] <wheels3572> Just go into my config of both and see?
[04:08] <raju25> thoreauputic, damn, nevermind then :(
[04:08] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: usually you can turn it off in the web interface
[04:08] <mournahan> there is software for windows but not linux (ubuntu) need to log time and limit usage
[04:08] <corey_> hey
[04:08] <neutrinomass> mournahan: Not sure, but https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Cafebuntu seems relevant ...
[04:08] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, sorry if I confused you.  I was asking which should handle my DHCP my modem or my router which would be best lol
[04:09] <mournahan> thanks for the link
[04:09] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: ah i see :)
[04:09] <srikat> wheels3572, System -> Administration -> Networking
[04:09] <dBL> hey
[04:09] <srikat> wheels3572, then Ethernet connection and Properties
[04:09] <raju25> Anyone know about Spotlight on OS X, is that as resource hungry as Beagle?
[04:09] <thoreauputic> srikat: no, he wants to turn it on or off at the modem or router
[04:09] <dBL> lol
[04:09] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, ty that's EXACTLY what I want to do :)
[04:09] <lemac> where i can get the drivers for my ATI Radeon X1400 ?
[04:10] <dBL> http://www.ati.com lemac
[04:10] <tritium> dBL: no!
[04:10] <tritium> !ati
[04:10] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:10] <tritium> lemac: see the URL above for ATI
[04:10] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: why not try it - turn it off from the web interface, see how it goes, turn it back on if necessary ?
[04:10] <dBL> whats your problem dude?
[04:10] <lemac> tritium thanks u really saved my ass
[04:10] <tritium> lemac: heh, no problem
[04:11] <M|nd^B3nd> ..
[04:11] <serey> neutrinomass: thanx for the information... I'll try the steps suggested... ;-)
[04:11] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, I found my router is controlling dhcp because my modem is not enabled to handle it :)
[04:12] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: there you go then :)
[04:12] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, I was told to shut off dhcp to clear my ip address of 192.168.1.104 back to 100 or 101 does that sound right?
[04:12] <billyfoxtrot> anyone here using sunbird or the lightning plugin for thunderbird?
[04:12] <neutrinomass> serey: www.google.com is your friend ;) It's the #1 resource of information..... if you've got time on your hands and you manage to get it work, setup a wiki page so that others can benefit from it too :)
[04:12] <mphill> i followed the ubuntu setup howto on the net, I installed mp3, dvd, flash, acrobat, ms fonts, and wine.  Now my sound stopped working after i rebooted, can help would give me some commands to try out to fix the problem?
[04:12] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: actually I only have either 2 or 3 machines at once here so I use static addressing
[04:13] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, Do you have a static ip from your isp assigned to you ?
[04:13] <lecaros> !ping
[04:13] <ubotu> pong
[04:13] <weex> mphill funny my sound doesn't work any more as well
[04:14] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: no - I just configure the local network statically: the modem/router assigns my WAN IP address
[04:14] <NineTeen67Comet> Does anyone know what I might check to see why my keyboard is loosing it's bindings after every login/out? . I have to to System>Prefs>Keyboard and select between Logitech Cordless Pro or Logitech Cordless Desktop each time I login to get my keybindings back .. Help? (Keybindings for compiz cube, zoom etc etc) ..
[04:14] <mphill> weex, what is working at one point, mine was working before i rebooted
[04:15] <dBL> I want those cool weather apps that sit in Gnome's system tray, what are they called?
[04:15] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, forgive me I am new here to this all but let me ask you this.  If you have to reboot your computer dont you have to go in and change your static ip to route to your outside ip if it's changed when you relog back on to the net?
[04:16] <maxLF> hey what's a .bin file
[04:16] <dBL> binary
[04:16] <maxLF> So how do I use it
[04:16] <maxLF> Im trying to install an mmorpg and the linux port was a bin file.
[04:16] <dBL> from console, sh filename.bin
[04:16] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: no - the router gets an address from the ISP - I just have a few statically assigned IPs for the LAN like 10.1.1.4, 10.1.1.3 etc
[04:16] <maxLF> Console = TErminal
[04:16] <dBL> yes
[04:17] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: in other words, the WAN side is dynamic and the LAN is static
[04:17] <maxLF> It said cannot execute binarary file.
[04:17] <trafiq> do you know any good news group reader?
[04:17] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, ok is there any way I can make sure my desktop stays at 192.168.1.100 and my laptop at 192.168.1.101?
[04:17] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: I assign IPs for the LAN in /etc/hosts and assocaite them with the hostnames
[04:17] <maxLF> Anyone know anything about visualboy
[04:18] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: sure - configure the IPs statically and turn off dhcp for the LAN
[04:18] <joselecaros> !ping
[04:18] <ubotu> pong
[04:18] <NineTeen67Comet> king kong?
[04:18] <tritium> thoreauputic: there are many words people have forgotten how to spell ;)
[04:18] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: you would need to edit /etc/network/interfaces or set it up in the gnome GUI ( I edited)
[04:19] <thoreauputic> tritium: yes  :)
[04:19] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, 1).  and I can do that all in the router configuration?  2).  Is there a downside to NOT using dhcp?
[04:19] <tritium> !botabuse
[04:19] <ubotu> Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops
[04:19] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, ok
[04:19] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: the downside to not using dhcp is that you have to do it all yourself :) ( assign IPs and names etc)
[04:20] <maxLF> Hey how do I use a bin file
[04:20] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: and you don't do that at the router - you do it on each machine
[04:20] <nrdb> I have a firewall with two ethernet interfaces, I am trying to get NAT to work between the internal and external interfaces.  I can't seem to get the correct iptables rules worked out. can anyone help?
[04:20] <justin_> i just installed the wacom-tools
[04:20] <maxLF> I FIXED IT
[04:20] <maxLF> later
[04:21] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, hmmmmmm sounds like I might stick with dhcp and hope I get my desktop back to 100 and my laptop back to 101 then lol I have NO CLUE how to do anything manually when it comes to assigning ips lol
[04:21] <Linuturk> i just installed the wacom-tools for my toshiba sattelite R15-S822
[04:21] <Linuturk> how do I setup my pen?
[04:21] <M|nd^B3nd> why not just boot your desktop first each time ?
[04:21] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: it isn't hard - just keep the IPs on the same subnet as your router
[04:21] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: but dhcp is convenient, sure
[04:21] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, would you be willing to assist me with that if I try and do that?
[04:22] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: hmm - willing - but I think if everything is working already I don't see a need to change it :)
[04:23] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, I know that saying if it's not broke dont fix it but for some reason I am missing .100 & .101 & .102 & .103 they are somewhere in cyberspace lo
[04:23] <mcquaid> hello, i want to make a vid tutorial on something, can anyone recommend the best program for this? preferably something that makes a relatively small file
[04:24] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: dhcp doesn't necessarily assign the numbers you expect
[04:24] <wheels3572> thoreauputic,  there is no doubt there lol
[04:24] <thoreauputic> :)
[04:24] <Kr4t05> mcquaid: I was honestly thinking of the same thing earlier today.
[04:24] <DarkMageZ> you can configure some dhcp servers to give particular mac address's particular ip addresses
[04:24] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, trying to figure out how to have dhcp server release them and start over then?
[04:24] <Kr4t05> mcquaid: Let's put our heads together.
[04:25] <srikat> I want to install gimpshop, so downloaded its rpm, installed alien and typed "sudo alien gimpshopbyme.rpm". I get --> dpkg-gencontrol: error: current build architecture amd64 does not appear in package's list (i386)
[04:25] <srikat> I tried installing from the source and get the same
[04:25] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: well, you can try running " dhclient eth0 " or whatever and see what you get in the lucky dip :)
[04:25] <srikat> does anyone know if there's a .deb or .rpm for installing gimpshop on amd64?
[04:25] <Drystan> Evening all
[04:25] <Kr4t05> srikat: what kind of CPU do you have?
[04:26] <srikat> Kr4t05, AMD Athlon 64bit
[04:26] <Kr4t05> srikat: one moment
[04:26] <wheels3572> ok
[04:26] <mcquaid> Kr4t05, k well so far i've come across ScreenKast, xvidcap, Istanbul but none of those output to flash
[04:27] <Kr4t05> mcquaid: none of them will, you'll have to be willing to sacrifice some disk size in the short run. (You can always use mencoder to compress the files down later)
[04:27] <Drystan> Is there a Queue or a protocol for asking a question? (which in itself IS a question and therefore out of protocol but whats a guy to do)
[04:27] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, may I /msg you ?
[04:27] <Kr4t05> Drystan: Not really, just feel free to ask.
[04:27] <mcquaid> Kr4t05, i think there is vnc2flash or some similar name
[04:27] <srikat> mcquaid, may be this is useful? --> http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/06/08/how-to-create-a-screencast-in-ubuntu/
[04:28] <Drystan> Thanks...Mines fully opinion based, not as techinical as some may be
[04:28] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: OK
[04:28] <Tonren> Hey guys, I can't get Azureus OR BitTornado working.  What the heck is going on?  Has anyone had trouble torrenting?  Does anyone know of a good app?
[04:28] <mbainrot> hi
[04:28] <mbainrot> has anyone done anywork with iptables?
[04:30] <Kr4t05> Tonren: uTorrent via Wine
[04:30] <Tonren> gah
[04:30] <tritium> Drystan: that was very courteous of you :)  Welcome to #ubuntu
[04:31] <mbainrot> auto script piddled its pants, sry for disconnecting
[04:31] <M|nd^B3nd> ok ,so about my issue with the driver...
[04:31] <M|nd^B3nd> " unpacking nic-pcmcia modules 2.6.10.5-386-di " is where it hangs up
[04:32] <mcquaid> Kr4t05, ah this is one i heard is really good, freeware but not open source http://www.debugmode.com/wink/
[04:32] <Tonren> Kr4t05: What if I don't want to bloody use Wine for a bloody torrent program?!
[04:33] <srikat> Kr4t05, I found a page w/ bunch of .deb files. How do I install gimpshop using those? Do I need to download all of them? The page is http://cmb.phys.cwru.edu/kisner/gimpshop/amd64/
[04:33] <M|nd^B3nd> i guess your bloody out of luck ?
[04:33] <thoreauputic> Tonren: more likely you have a port forwarding problem or a nat problem
[04:33] <Kr4t05> Tonren: chill, it was a suggestion.
[04:33] <Drystan> Current Setup: Win PC (wifes/better gaming) 40 GB HD ; 2nd WinPC ( Photoshop/gaming) 2 40 gb HD; Breezy Ubuntu Box, 1 15 GB HD and another 15 GB HD sitting here....The lesser WinPC and the UbuntuBox are kvm'ed (my workstations, wife get teh good stuff) but WinPC has 2nd ary monitor  ...GOAL  store most music and arcival files ont he Nix box and use it as a media player during gaming/life
[04:33] <Drystan> Long setup i know
[04:33] <Tonren> thoreauputic: I'm trying to figure out what port my clients are using so I can USE port-forwarding
[04:33] <Drystan> just looking for opinions
[04:33] <DarkMageZ> Tonren, bittornado worked for me when i used it last, so does the default torrent client in ubuntu
[04:33] <Tonren> thoreauputic: I can't get Azureus or BitTornado to even START.
[04:33] <thoreauputic> Tonren: both bittorrent and azureus work fine here
[04:33] <Tonren> DarkMageZ: Do you know what port the default GNOME client uses?
[04:33] <Tonren> thoreauputic: Neither for me.  :\
[04:33] <kill4killin> Hello all, I was wondering if anyone could give me a hand with an ubuntu install problem. When i start the install, it tells me that HDC isnt detected and that it for some reason cant find any media sources to install. However, i know theyre hooked up because im using them right now.
[04:34] <thoreauputic> Tonren: have you installe java ?
[04:34] <Kr4t05> Tonren: then your life just sucks, do us all a favor and end it.
[04:34] <thoreauputic> *installed
[04:34] <mbainrot> does anyone know how to setup NAT, so a vhost using virtual ip (ip = 192.168.0.52), can be seen by a computer on another subnet?
[04:34] <Tonren> Kr4t05: Sorry for yelling at you.  I am frustrated.
[04:34] <mbainrot> and/or ip range
[04:34] <Kr4t05> Tonren: Yeah...
[04:34] <Tonren> thoreauputic: Would it really let me apt-get without installing Java?
[04:34] <Kr4t05> Tonren: Join the club?
[04:34] <DarkMageZ> Kr4t05, that's not appropriate nomatter what someone said
[04:34] <Kr4t05> DarkMageZ: My bad.
[04:34] <Tonren> Kr4t05: Sure thing, tough guy
[04:35] <thoreauputic> Tonren: erm yes - that is, Ubuntu comes with a free java by default, but in my experience the sun version works better for azureus
[04:35] <Tonren> thoreauputic: Ahh, I see.  I didn't know that.
[04:35] <thoreauputic> Tonren: adjust your ttitude a bit, please - no need to be aggressive to others in the chan
[04:35] <TokenBad> in trying the live cd on a laptop it gets to the " unpacking nic-pcmcia modules 2.6.10.5-386-di " and hangs up...any ideas why?
[04:36] <Tonren> thoreauputic: Dude, he said I should kill myself.
[04:36] <safrican_> hi anyone know why even though i have dapper backports enabled, it doesn't let me upgrade software to the versions available in backports ?
[04:36] <thoreauputic> Tonren: *sigh* I won't argue with you
[04:36] <Tonren> thoreauputic: Don't worry, I'm over it.
[04:36] <thoreauputic> :)
[04:36] <Kr4t05> Tonren: I apologize, I was out of line.
[04:36] <kill4killin> Can anyone help me with my install problem. Sorry if I'm repeating myself, last message was long
[04:36] <Tonren> Kr4t05: Apology accepted, dude.  I shouldn't have shouted.  You were just trying to help.
[04:38] <Tonren> thoreauputic: You were totally fixing to kick my ass out.  jerk.  ;P
[04:38] <Kr4t05> Tonren: Do you happen to be familiar with OiNK.me.com?
[04:38] <Tonren> Kr4t05: Never heard of it.  What's its story?
[04:38] <Tonren> Man, maybe if I build Azureus from source it will work.  Does Azureus use Java?
[04:38] <thoreauputic> Tonren: no, I just wanted you to know that it was possible :)
[04:38] <dBL> yeah azureus does use java
[04:38] <keh7d> please excuse me, what do people mean when they say to "navigate" to a directory? and how do i do that?
[04:38] <srikat> I found a page w/ bunch of .deb files for gimpshop. How do I install gimpshop using those? Do I need to download all of them? The page is http://cmb.phys.cwru.edu/kisner/gimpshop/amd64/
[04:38] <Tonren> Okay, someone hit me with the Sun Java packag e name, please
[04:38] <Tonren> It's lke sun-j2re or something, right?
[04:39] <Kr4t05> Tonren: Nothing in particular. Torrent tracker, and I can't get it to work.

[04:39] <Tonren> dBL: Is it really much better than azureus?
[04:39] <srikat> keh7d, may be using the Places -> Home folder...which will open the file browser
[04:39] <tritium> dBL: please advise ubuntu packages over downloads from ati.com, sun.com, etc.
[04:40] <thoreauputic> dBL: I second tritium 's advice
[04:40] <TokenBad> anyone?
[04:40] <Tonren> Guys, when I sudo aptitude install bittornado, it downloads fine (apparently), but there is no command "bittornado"
[04:41] <Tonren> Kr4t05: Are you behind a router?  That always screws up BT
[04:41] <thoreauputic> Tonren: try dpkg -L bittornado | grep bin
[04:41] <Kr4t05> Tonren: other trackers work fine.
[04:41] <kill4killin> repeat: Help with install please, trying to get it working before going off to college
[04:41] <Kr4t05> Tonren: I think OiNK just doesn't like me.
[04:41] <Tonren> thoreauputic: /usr/bin shows up
[04:42] <khaije1> ubotu: !java
[04:42] <ubotu> I know nothing about !java - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[04:42] <keh7d> srikat, is that the same kind of "navigating" i do when i want to install something?
[04:42] <thoreauputic> Tonren: it should show you several commands from memory
[04:42] <Tonren> thoreauputic: Yeah, it shows me lots of bt*****.bittornado commands
[04:42] <Tonren> thoreauputic: But there's no actual bittornado
[04:42] <thoreauputic> Tonren: right
[04:42] <srikat> keh7d, not sure what you are asking. do you want to know how to go to a directory from the terminal?
[04:42] <thoreauputic> Tonren: at this point you consult the man pages
[04:43] <Tonren> thoreauputic: No manual entry for bittornado...?
[04:43] <thoreauputic> Tonren: I would help, but I don't use bittornado
[04:43] <safrican_> why wouldn't i be able to upgrade to a newer version of beagle if i wanted to .. even though i have enabled backports ? its not working ?
[04:43] <Tonren> thoreauputic: What do you use?
[04:43] <thoreauputic> Tonren: try apropos bittornado
[04:43] <Tonren> thoreauputic: Tried it.  :\
[04:43] <thoreauputic> Tonren: mostly azureus
[04:43] <safrican_> anything else required ? i've checkeda ll the docs and all of them say "add the dapper-backports repository" and issue "apt-get update" and you should be fine but somehow i cannot upgrade to beagle 0.2.7
[04:43] <Madpilot> safrican_, there might not be a newer version of beagle in backports yet
[04:44] <keh7d> srikat, well i keep trying to install things, and usually my instructions are "navigate to the directory and ..." Im trying to figure out what that means
[04:44] <srikat> keh7d, can you give one example?
[04:44] <erider> how do you make sbcl a regular command at the commandline after compiling it? I can only run it when I'm in sbcl bin
[04:44] <thoreauputic> Tonren: BTW if BT doesn't work for you behind a router you either have a NAT or a pot forwarding misconfiguration
[04:44] <witless> mobile Pentium MMX processor uses 386 kernel, not 686, correct?
[04:44] <safrican_> Madpilot: there is.. i checked at the actual url of the repository [namely, archive.ubuntu.com] 
[04:44] <thoreauputic> * s/pot/port
[04:45] <wastrel> erider:  you need to move it into a directory on your path
[04:45] <Tonren> thoreauputic: I know all about that.  The reason I want a BT program other than the GNOME Default is because I can't figure out what port the GNOME default USES so I can set up port forwarding
[04:45] <Madpilot> safrican_, if you're using Synaptic, hit Reload, then try again
[04:45] <thoreauputic> Tonren: probably 6881 ( the default)
[04:45] <Tonren> thoreauputic: Hmmm
[04:45] <erider> wastrel: what do you mean?
[04:46] <safrican_> Madpilot: i've run apt-get update like 8 times in the last 10 minutes.. it should work ocnsidering thats what synaptic does
[04:46] <Tonren> thoreauputic: I don't need to forward all those other crazy ports that come up in netstat?
[04:46] <Madpilot> safrican_, yeah, it should. I don't use the backports myself, so I'm not sure what's wrong...
[04:46] <keh7d> srikat, sure : 1. Download cdrdao package from ubuntu website
[04:46] <keh7d> http://packages.ubuntu.com/hoary/otherosfs/cdrdao
[04:46] <keh7d>  2. Navigate to the directory where you downloaded the a/m file to and do :
[04:46] <keh7d> glenn@ubuntu$ dpkg -i *.deb
[04:47] <wastrel> erider:  in order to use a command it either has to be on your path or you need to use the fully qualified filename
[04:47] <wastrel> erider:  type echo $PATH to see the directories in your command path
[04:47] <thoreauputic> Tonren: those are either other people's, or the source ports from your machine outbound, so no
[04:47] <Tonren> thoreauputic: I see.  Well, I've set up the forwarding, and it's now going.. even slower
[04:47] <thoreauputic> Tonren: BT only needs one port forwarded usually
[04:47] <Tonren> thoreauputic: Wait.. there it goes!  Yes... YES!  8 KB/s... TEN KB/S!
[04:48] <thoreauputic> Tonren: :)
[04:48] <Tonren> THIRTEEN KB/S!!! GO, BIT TORRENT, GO!!
[04:48] <thoreauputic> Tonren: takes a while to get going usually
[04:48] <erider> wastrel: they are a few different ones
[04:49] <srikat> keh7d, say you downloaded to the folder to your username....and let's assume your username is 'sri'
[04:49] <srikat> keh7d, when you start the terminal, you are at your desktop
[04:49] <erider> wastrel: there is sbin bin and games
[04:49] <Kr4t05> Tonren: having better luck than me. :P
[04:49] <srikat> keh7d, there you type "cd .." and then you can install using s'thing like "sudo sri/thefilename"
[04:49] <FusionXN1> How do you force a program to close?
[04:49] <thoreauputic> srikat: no, when you start a termianl you are in your $HOME directory, not ~/Desktop
[04:49] <srikat> aah, that makes it even easier
[04:50] <Kr4t05> FusionXN1: killall -9 program
[04:50] <srikat> keh7d, so simply place the stuff you want to install in your home directory
[04:50] <benplaut> is there any way to manually mount a camera that it only being recognized by gthumb (and therefore, libgphoto)
[04:50] <benplaut> /var/log/messages says there's a USB device, but doesn't give me a device address
[04:50] <thoreauputic> Tonren: any luck with BT now that 6881 is forwarded ?
[04:51] <k1ll4killin> can anyone help me with my installation? Its not recognizing my hard drive for some reason
[04:51] <FusionXN1> Kr4t05: Its guildwars in cedega thats froze

[04:52] <Kr4t05> FusionXN1: killall -9 cedega
[04:52] <FusionXN1> Kr4t05: i got  it
[04:52] <benplaut> thoreauputic, that's the only line referring to it
[04:52] <thoreauputic> benplaut: odd
[04:53] <benplaut> i know...
[04:53] <benplaut> i've gotten it to work on a different computer (mine, with arch)
[04:53] <benplaut> it was assigned a standard sdx...
[04:54] <thoreauputic> benplaut: I usually run   tail -f /var/log/messages , plug in the usb, and see what happens in that file - but it sounds like this one doesn't do what we would expect
[04:54] <erider> wastrel: should I move it into the /local/bin?
[04:54] <FusionXN1> Whats the ubuntu equivilent of ALT+TAB
[04:54] <benplaut> thoreauputic, same basic message
[04:54] <thoreauputic> FusionXN1: alt+tab :)
[04:54] <wastrel> erider:  /usr/local/bin would be good
[04:54] <FusionXN1> thoreauputic: it anit working
[04:55] <thoreauputic> !doesn't work
[04:55] <FusionXN1> I guess its just cedega
[04:55] <ubotu> Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.

[04:59] <thoreauputic> idefix: what do you mean ?
[05:00] <idefix> all the commands he typed...
[05:00] <idefix> he installed some stuff on my PC, I'm just interested how he did it
[05:00] <thoreauputic> thoreauputic: ah - yes just type  history | less
[05:00] <erider> wastrel: how would I set it up so it can find the core file in the lib?
[05:01] <benplaut> thoreauputic, not even the gthumb window provides anything useful... refers to loading the pictures from some virtual dir :(
[05:02] <srikat> 'Take screenshot' takes the screenshot of entire screen. Is it not possible to take only that of a window we specify?
[05:02] <awe6> I'd like to download the w32codecs per the Ubuntu "restricted Formats" page but only get a short html file of a Ubuntu page.

[05:02] <srikat> keh7d, move it to your home dir

[05:03] <srikat> well actually since it's a .deb, I guess it doesn't matter where it is...simply dbl clk on that .deb file keh7d
[05:03] <jroes> hey, does anyone know if the partition resizer works in 6.06?

[05:04] <keh7d> srikat, yep so the archive is not supported... so im goona spend some time searching for a program to dearchive it...

[05:06] <KaMZa> how can config my ati x700pro to take resolution 1280 x 768 on my lcd smsung 22" monitor?
[05:06] <srikat> keh7d, ok...does that prog come w/ install instructions? if so...simply place that .deb file in your home dir, open up a terminal and follow the insturctions

[05:07] <benplaut> ubotu is locked, right?
[05:07] <thoreauputic> keh7d: try looking on the project's home web page
[05:08] <thoreauputic> benplaut: only certain people can alter factoids, if that's what you mean

[05:08] <Lyrasen> hey, I've got a little problem configuring my lan over here... everything seems to be fine though one client I have connected can access/ping some domains and cannot for some others... I've read that since I use pppoe as my primary connection I should set the max packet size PMTU clamping to 1492, which is already set in pppoe.conf... anyone have a clue about this issue?
[05:08] <srikat> keh7d, when you rgt clk on the .deb file, do you see 'open w/ GDebi package installer' or s'thing like that?
[05:09] <thoreauputic> benplaut: I think the ? is a wild card - for instance you could have kdm or xdm
[05:09] <benplaut> oohhh
[05:09] <benplaut> ok, i'm outta here... my sis will use gthumb till i figure something out
[05:10] <mikefromnz> Hi guys - Im testing the livecd of 6.06 and when I resume from standby the screen stays blank and the CD drive can be opened where normally Ubuntu will not let it open
[05:10] <keh7d> srikat, nah i dont have either of those...
[05:11] <thoreauputic> Lyrasen: you can do  sudo ifconfig eth0 mtu 1492 if I remember correctly ( see man ifconfig)
[05:11] <srikat> keh7d, that's weird...package installer comes default w/ ubuntu, isn't it?
[05:11] <srikat> are you running Ubuntu 6.06 LTS?
[05:12] <keh7d> srikat, yea that does seem weird... ill look around some... maybe i have to install them seperately using "add applications"?
[05:12] <srikat> thoreauputic, can you pls help me install gimpshop? I posted the prob w/ screenshots in the forum. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1315885#post1315885
[05:12] <srikat> keh7d, what is 'them'?
[05:13] <thoreauputic> srikat: I don't know anything about gimpshop - are you compiling it? I doubt that there are Ubuntu debs for it anyway
[05:13] <srikat> no, trying to install frm the debs
[05:13] <srikat> not frm src
[05:14] <thoreauputic> srikat: I think at some point about a year ago there was a deb available, but it probably isn't Ubuntu-compatible

[05:14] <thoreauputic> is this marked as an Ubuntu-compatible deb?
[05:14] <srikat> thoreauputic, I did find the latest gimpshop .debs for 64bit
[05:14] <chris86wm> will resizing my ext3 partition break my current install?

[05:15] <cycom> chris86wm: it might, but there is a pretty decent chance that it will be fine.  Backup Backup Backup.
[05:15] <srikat> thoreauputic, oh....I thought using .debs you could install on ubuntu just as you would on a Debian linux?
[05:15] <thoreauputic> srikat: waht errors are you seeing?
[05:15] <chris86wm> thanks cycom
[05:15] <nrdb> cycom: I just resized an windowsXP partition no trouble.

[05:18] <rhogskin> I need help configuring my wireless network.
[05:18] <ubotu> xen is a a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. It can be found at http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/
[05:18] <sethk> KaMZa, usually that means the monitor hasn't been coorectly auto detected
[05:19] <sethk> KaMZa, you can fix it by doing a dpkg-reconfigure, and when you get to the monitor configuration, enable the resolution you want.
[05:19] <sethk> KaMZa, if the resolution doesn't appear in the list, then it isn't a resolution the video card is capable of doing
[05:20] <KaMZa> sethk: my monitor is a lcd/tv samsung and it values are correct
[05:20] <Lyrasen> thoreauputic: if what I read is correct, the mtu size of 1492 shouldn't be applied only to pppoe?

[05:20] <sethk> KaMZa, I have two, samsunb 192MP and the 242
[05:21] <ruxpin^> for 'crontab -e' and 'visudo' for example
[05:21] <keh7d> srikat, i am an idiot... where is advanced...
[05:21] <thoreauputic> Lyrasen: as I understand it, that mtu should apply only to the WAN interface, not the LAN
[05:21] <Dr_Willis> Hmm.. I got my ati card going.. tv out works.. but thevideos i play dont show in the tv just a black box where they should be :(
[05:21] <sethk> KaMZa, both with the tv feature.  (I also have a 191 without the tv feature)
[05:21] <thoreauputic> Lyrasen: i.e. it is only for ppp0e

[05:21] <Lyrasen> thoreauputic: yea this is what I tought..
[05:21] <thoreauputic> nrdb: really? 1492 on the LAN as well ?
[05:21] <sethk> KaMZa, I'm not sure what you mean by the resolution not working in fullscreen.
[05:22] <thoreauputic> nrdb: I don't see why
[05:22] <nrdb> thoreauputic: each type of transfer take a different MTU 1500 for ethernet.
[05:22] <KaMZa> sethk: i can choose resolution 1280 x 768 in sax2 but when i test it put 1024 x 768
[05:22] <Lyrasen> ok well, let me set it for eth
[05:22] <Jack_Sparrow> sethk: IS that a widescreen maybe?
[05:22] <thoreauputic> nrdb: exactly what I was saying
[05:22] <Dr_Willis> Jack_Sparrow:  Hmm been reading the ati wiki pages...
[05:22] <thoreauputic> nrdb: the 1492 mtu applies only to the ppp0e interface
[05:22] <sethk> Jack_Sparrow, mine is wide screen, yes.  No problems configuring it with nvidia.  I did see a problem configuring it with an ATI card
[05:23] <Dr_Willis> Jack_Sparrow:  and the videos are playing. :P and showing up on the monitor.. just the clone of the  display on the tv has them not showing. Lol.
[05:23] <thoreauputic> Lyrasen: your ethernet should be 1500
[05:23] <nrdb> thoreauputic: the 1492 might be to allow for an overhead (encyption maybe) and still fit in 1500 ethernet packets.
[05:23] <Lyrasen> ok
[05:23] <sethk> Jack_Sparrow, with the ati, I had to use 1600x1200.  The nvidia does 1900 with no problem.  the ati wants to do 1910 or 1600 and nothing in between.
[05:23] <thoreauputic> nrdb: yes but not on the ethernet LAN - only on the ppp0e
[05:23] <mikefromnz> Will the LIVECD feature of 6.06 not support suspend (by closing laptop lid) due to no HDD in my machine or is it a bug with the suspend that wont be fixed if I install to HDD?
[05:23] <KaMZa> sethk: my xorg.conf report the correct resolution value but...
[05:24] <fausto_> Anyone here know a lot about VM Ware? I've tried to install VM Ware tools into my WIndowx xp virtual machine but everytime it starts up vmwaret tools isn't running and i can't get it to run. The about tab says "VMWAre tools are not running"
[05:24] <fausto_> Anyone?
[05:24] <zazeem> sethk: is there an audio booster program for linux out there? i need to raise my volume to watcha movie and i have my speakers all the way up as well as my settings
[05:24] <sethk> KaMZa, see what is in the X log.  xorg.conf only tells it what to try, the log file will tell you what it did.
[05:24] <thoreauputic> fausto_: sounds like a windows question
[05:24] <KaMZa> sethk: where i can find x.log?
[05:24] <sethk> zazeem, I just use powered speakers.
[05:24] <sethk> KaMZa, /var/log/
[05:24] <zazeem> sethk: i have them
[05:24] <thoreauputic> KaMZa: /var/log/
[05:24] <Lyrasen> thoreauputic: I tried to see if the config was properly applied using ifconfig... can't see any value for mtu...
[05:24] <Jack_Sparrow> I gotta run, goodnight all
[05:24] <KaMZa> sethk: ok, now take a look
[05:25] <zazeem> sethk: a move i wanna watch is low makes no sense it was loud on win
[05:25] <sethk> KaMZa, usually /var/log/xorg.0.log
[05:25] <thoreauputic> Lyrasen: normally shows in ifconfig
[05:25] <fausto_> Well everywhere I go everyone is like "Yeah it worked on the first try perfect". So I figure I set something wrong. But I don't understand how I did that. I followed the directions perfectly.
[05:25] <srikat> thoreauputic, are you able to read the txt in my forum post?
[05:25] <fausto_> And the installer works fine but when I reboot, the vmware tools stay disabled?
[05:25] <sethk> zazeem, I ran into something like that and found that the player had it's own volume control that had to be turned up, in addition to all the mixer levels.
[05:25] <thoreauputic> Lyrasen: like this: UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
[05:26] <keh7d> srikat, did that...
[05:26] <Flav> is there a netinst iso for dapper/6.06 like debian has?
[05:26] <KaMZa> sethk: my xorg.0.log report only japan caracter
[05:26] <KaMZa> sethk: my xorg.0.log report only japan font
[05:26] <ruxpin^> where should I place scripts that I want to run at user login (both gdm and console)
[05:27] <fausto_> thoreauputic?
[05:27] <thoreauputic> srikat: my guess is that your debs are not Ubuntu compatibel, or you installed them in the wrong order - I would try the libs first
[05:27] <sethk> KaMZa, that I don't understand.  I don't have much experience with two byte character sets.
[05:27] <srikat> thoreauputic, what are 'libs'?
[05:28] <thoreauputic> fausto_: you are instaling this in windows, right? This is an Ubuntu Linux channel
[05:28] <Lyrasen> ke-, eth0 MTU is set to 1500...
[05:28] <thoreauputic> srikat: libraries
[05:28] <fausto_> No.
[05:28] <srikat> yah...how exactly do I try the libraries? thoreauputic
[05:28] <fausto_> This is Ubuntu.
[05:28] <KaMZa> sethk: ok, tnks the same
[05:28] <Lyrasen> thoreauputic: still dosen't work.
[05:28] <fausto_> On top of which I am running WIndows thru VMWare
[05:29] <fausto_> Windows is the virtual machine. Ubuntu is my host.
[05:29] <thoreauputic> Lyrasen: "doesn't work" is an entirely content-free statement - please be specific :)
[05:29] <keh7d> srikat, so i have applied the changes etc... is the process complete?
[05:30] <thoreauputic> fausto_: ah OK - have you tried the vmware-player package that Ubuntu has in multiverse?
[05:30] <KaMZa> sethk: but I don't understand why my notebook with nvidia card works perfectly in widescreen resolution and my desktop with ati dosn't work in widescreen resolution...
[05:30] <fausto_> No, I haven't ... is that some kind of addon?
[05:30] <FusionXN1> For packages do i need to compile C and C++
[05:30] <srikat> keh7d, dunno...am at the same stage as you w/ another prog tho. May be look for a shortcut in Applications?
[05:30] <fausto_> Or is it an alternative to what I'm using now (I'm open to alternatives lol)
[05:30] <thoreauputic> !info vmware-player
[05:30] <ubotu> vmware-player: Free virtual machine player from VMware. In repository multiverse, is optional. Version 1.0.1-4 (dapper), package size 11563 kB, installed size 31248 kB (Only available for i386 amd64)
[05:30] <Lyrasen> thoreauputic: well I still cannot gain access to some specific domains. with all of my eth interfaces mtu set to 1500 and pppoe mtu set to 1492
[05:31] <shawn_> my laptop monitor will only display 1680x1050, no matter what my xorg.conf says, any ides?
[05:31] <thoreauputic> sudo apt-get install vmware-player
[05:31] <fausto_> OK, thanks. I'll try that.
[05:31] <fausto_> 'preciate the help.
[05:31] <KaMZa> shawn_: plaese to meet you
[05:31] <sethk> shawn_, what resolution do you want to use?
[05:31] <keh7d> srikat, you are a wonderful person... it worked...
[05:32] <thoreauputic> Lyrasen: hmm - so it seems mtu is notthe issue - although I've heard of people using lower values than 1492
[05:32] <srikat> grt
[05:32] <shawn_> 1440x900
[05:32] <kf4enw> the volume on my laptop is too low after installing dapper. any ideas?
[05:32] <KaMZa> shawn_: have you an Ati card?
[05:32] <shawn_> nvidia
[05:32] <KaMZa> u are lucky
[05:32] <Lyrasen> thoreauputic: yeah I've read that 1460 could also be used... I'll try.
[05:32] <thoreauputic> OK I'm out - see you next time, all :)
[05:32] <shawn_> KaMZa, http://pastebin.ca/105910
[05:33] <thoreauputic> \0
[05:33] <Lyrasen> thoreauputic: no result with 1460 either
[05:33] <sethk> shawn_, I've had success with nvidia by doing dpkg-reconfigure, and, in the monitor section, telling it that I have a generic monitor doing #X# at #hz (e.g. 1400x900 @60hz)
[05:33] <fivre> does anyone know how I can get rid of this error and be able to use apt-get again? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19219
[05:34] <sethk> shawn_, after that, I reinstall the nvidia driver.  that modifies my xorg.conf, but doesn't lose my resolutions.
[05:34] <shawn_> ok but...
[05:34] <KaMZa> please help me
[05:34] <sethk> shawn_, or, if you don't want 3d, just use the nv driver distributed with X
[05:34] <FusionXN1> Can someone tell me what I need to pass this error when compiling a program? checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool
[05:34] <shawn_> sethk, first im running xgl/compiz
[05:35] <KaMZa> anybody can help me?
[05:35] <shawn_> sethk, also half the time im using an external monitor (lcd) max res 1440x900
[05:35] <sethk> shawn_, that's ok, the point is just to get the part of xorg.conf needed to tell it to do the resolution.  Then you can modify xorg.conf, or paste in the resolution parts, etc.
[05:35] <shawn_> sethk, that works fine. its when i unplug the external, and restart x my laptop monitor switches to 1680
[05:35] <khermans> can someone help confirm a bug in Firefox?
[05:35] <khermans> I see this bug in Dapper
[05:36] <shawn_> sethK
[05:36] <KaMZa> sethk: where i can find modeline?
[05:36] <sethk> shawn_, sounds like it is autodetecting the monitor and thinks it can only do 1680xwhatever
[05:36] <khermans> it is very easy to verify
[05:36] <shawn_> yea thats what i was thinking
[05:36] <maxLF> Yo
[05:36] <Lyrasen> thoreauputic: let me get it straight: I'm using a second network card (eth1) to foward my connection to a client, config is: inet address = 192.168.0.102, mask = 255.255.255.0, gateway = 192.168.0.101 (my host eth1) and dns 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.1 as in my resolv.conf...
[05:36] <shawn_> sethk, so if thats the case, what should i do
[05:36] <sethk> KaMZa, haven't had to use a mode line in about 10 years
[05:36] <maxLF> Anyone know how to configure gamepad in visualboyadvance
[05:36] <KaMZa> :(
[05:36] <mikefromnz> Using Intel Application Accelerator I was able to set options on my laptop HDDs NVRAM such as "Low Acoustic Output" and "Minimum power consumption with standby" is there an app that lets you change this under Ubuntu
[05:36] <Lyrasen> thoreauputic: (config being the client's configuration)
[05:37] <sethk> shawn_, you should be able to edit xorg.conf and change the configuration for each monitor separately.
[05:37] <shawn_> sethk, thats just the thing, there is only one monitor in my xorg.conf
[05:37] <idefix> thoreauputic little late, so then my friend probably used some sort of "my commands won't be detected-shell"
[05:37] <sethk> shawn_, I have a laptop I've run that way.  I'll boot it up and see if I find anything useful in it's xorg.conf
[05:38] <KaMZa> anybody want buy and Ati X700pro?
[05:38] <shawn_> sethk, wow thanks alot man
[05:38] <sethk> shawn_, don't thank me yet, there might not be anything useful in it.  :)
[05:38] <shawn_> sethk, ok lol i'll be here...
[05:39] <idefix> is there such a thing as a shell without history?
[05:40] <KaMZa> where i can find some theme or images for gnome panel?
[05:41] <XVampireX> gnome-art.org ?
[05:41] <smack> anybody have hpt37x drivers compiled and working?
[05:41] <petduo> http://art.gnome.org/
[05:41] <petduo> http://www.gnome-look.org/
[05:41] <petduo> i use both
[05:41] <XVampireX> err
[05:41] <XVampireX> yeah
[05:41] <redcard> Hey, on the gnome-art manager.. any reason why it won't let me "install" stuff I select with it?
[05:41] <KaMZa> there i can find it?
[05:41] <petduo> sure KaMZa
[05:41] <FusionXN1> Can someone help me out?! http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19220
[05:42] <petduo> take a look
[05:42] <sethk> shawn_, you can have a   Section "Screen"    for each monitor.  Then, in the Section "ServerLayout", specify one screen, or the other.  That means, though, that you have to edit xorg.conf and change that screen id line to switch monitors.
[05:42] <Konstable> Is it possible to install Ubuntu from the "Desktop CD"?
[05:42] <KaMZa> themes or images for the bar on bottom (where is place manu)
[05:42] <Lyrasen> thoreauputic: you still there?
[05:42] <KaMZa> menu
[05:42] <FusionXN1> Konstable: you mean the CD? It's a live cd so ya
[05:42] <shinobi2> anyone use ubuntu?  how can i install mc for ubuntu?
[05:42] <redcard> Konstable: Double click on that little install icon :)
[05:42] <shinobi2> ah...
[05:42] <shawn_> sethk, ok but how does it know which monitor is which?
[05:42] <sethk> FusionXN1, are you doing a build from source?
[05:43] <Konstable> redcard :P  It goes into the live CD mode.
[05:43] <FusionXN1> sethk: ya gimpshop
[05:43] <jn> im having problems changing the time.. time-admin quits unexpectedly
[05:43] <redcard> Konstable: If you click on the install?
[05:43] <jn> is there another way to change the time
[05:43] <redcard> Konstable: In Dapper, the Live CD IS the install CD
[05:43] <jn> or sync it to a time server
[05:43] <sethk> shawn_, It doesn't.  You do.  That's why I said you have to edit xorg.conf and change that one line to switch monitors.
[05:43] <Madpilot> Konstable, on the LiveCD desktop, there should be an "Install" icon - top left corner
[05:43] <FusionXN1> redcard: A good touch a?
[05:43] <redcard> FusionXN1: It was spiffy :)
[05:43] <shawn_> ahh i see
[05:44] <sethk> FusionXN1, missing glib development package(s)
[05:44] <shawn_> lemme mees with it
[05:44] <shawn_> brb
[05:44] <FusionXN1> shawn_: Did my pastebin solve ya problem eariler?
[05:44] <FusionXN1> sethk: I dont know what to look for synamtec
[05:44] <shawn_> FusionXN1, no sorry i tried it but nothing
[05:44] <FusionXN1> Synaptic*
[05:44] <FusionXN1> shawn_: Weird mines that and it works
[05:44] <sethk> FusionXN1, do a search on glib, then look for packages with "devel" in the name
[05:44] <Konstable> Hrm, I'll give it another shot...
[05:45] <FusionXN1> 1 mo then
[05:45] <sethk> FusionXN1, as in, libglib2.0-dev
[05:45] <redcard> So, anyone know why I can't install things from "gnome-art"?
[05:45] <amp_halp> is backports a secure repository ????
[05:45] <sethk> FusionXN1, so look for dev, not devel :)  (or both)
[05:45] <jessekenney> Any good advice for a windows switcher.
[05:46] <FusionXN1> sethk: thanks ill try it
[05:46] <amp_halp> is backports a secure repository ????
[05:46] <redcard> jessekenney: Well, what do you want advice on? :)
[05:46] <FusionXN1> sethk: same error
[05:46] <sethk> FusionXN1, by the way, in the synaptic search, you can type in     glib dev      the two words with a space between them.  the default behavior is to AND all words
[05:46] <redcard> jessekenney: Unagi is an AWESOME sushi roll :)
[05:46] <sethk> FusionXN1, you installed all the glib dev packages that quickly?
[05:46] <rixth> OK why is the clock applet taking 60mb of memory?
[05:46] <jessekenney> Well i have lots of software that im afraid i wont be able to run. mind you that im willing to run and learn equivalents. that do the same thing
[05:47] <FusionXN1> sethk: only that 1
[05:47] <redcard> jessekenney: Yeah.. you're going to have to do the equivs thing.  Whatcha lookin for, we'll do this in order ;)
[05:47] <amp_halp> Anyone, is backports a secure repository ????
[05:47] <jessekenney> just need a good resource where i might be able to research where to find good software
[05:47] <sethk> FusionXN1, there are really only two possibilities.  either something is missing, or something isn't the version that the configure is expecting.
[05:47] <jn> so is there a cmd i can run from console to change the time.. cause time-admin is failing
[05:48] <FusionXN1> sethk: tried again no go
[05:48] <rixth> !fgi
[05:48] <ubotu> I know nothing about fgi - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[05:48] <sethk> FusionXN1, give me the paste url again?
[05:48] <FusionXN1> sethk: version >= 2.4.4... no
[05:48] <redcard> jessekenney: I'd recommend the Ubuntuforums at www.ubuntuforums.org
[05:48] <sethk> FusionXN1, ah, ok.
[05:48] <FusionXN1> sethk: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19220
[05:48] <rixth> ubotu, fgi is fucking google it
[05:48] <sethk> FusionXN1, did you look in the config.log file it talks about?
[05:49] <FusionXN1> sethk: INSTALL?
[05:49] <sethk> FusionXN1, no, a couple of lines above that, it says "see the file config.log for the exact error that occured"
[05:49] <sethk> FusionXN1, it's not inconceivable that it needs a newer version of glib than ubuntu is using.
[05:50] <Tonren> Hey guys, what's a good music sequencer for Linux?  You know, like Garage Band or Jeskola Buzz.
[05:50] <jessekenney> well i run dreamweaver, i could just use a good similar WYSIWYG editor. umm, some music sofware like ableton live. and photoshop, and i run WAMP for testing. what else? well. photoshop for quick editing for web. see i have a mac. and i got this laptop for free and i HATE windows.
[05:50] <FusionXN1> sethk: all i can see in that is extern "C" void std::exit (int) throw (); using std::exit;
[05:51] <rixth> jessekenney, honestly there is nothing that even comes close to Photoshop. Gimp is good for photos but not for web graphics.
[05:51] <sethk> FusionXN1, that's in a g++ header file, which has nothing to do with glib.  Maybe the error is bogus?
[05:51] <nrdb> I am trying to setup a firewall.  I can ping the both the ethernet cards on the firewall, but when I try to ping another address (the ADSL modem) I get a "host unreachable" error. :(  but the wierd thing is that the interface (eth1) is receiveing data, but none of the packet counters in iptables increase to show where the packet is going :( can someone please help in fixing this?
[05:52] <sethk> FusionXN1, put that file on the paste bot if you can easily
[05:52] <Madpilot> amp_halp, yes, backports are official
[05:52] <FusionXN1> sethk: 1 mo
[05:52] <jessekenney> really? ive heard of gimp. I mean i dont use all the photoshop web crap. i mean i just like to edit somethings. somtimes optimize things for web. is it good for that
[05:52] <amp_halp> ok thanks, Madpilot.
[05:52] <shawn_> sethk, how can i find out the h&v-sync for my laptop monitor. the manual specs don't tell me
[05:53] <jessekenney> can i open my current psd's in gimp
[05:53] <FusionXN1> sethk:  :) -> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19221 <-
[05:53] <smack> anybody have hpt37x drivers compiled and working?
[05:53] <jn> can someone help me get the correct time pls, is there a console cmd i can run?
[05:53] <jn> time-admin crashes
[05:53] <yuheng108_> how do you set up wine?
[05:53] <renato> My grandmother has a Windows computer, and I want to send her some videos. As she doesn't know how to install a codec, what's the best codec to encode a video for her?
[05:53] <Madpilot> jessekenney, the GIMP can open PSDs, although it can't handle some of the layer effects & such
[05:53] <shawn_> sethk, just say pixel pitch max res and a few other things but not h&v-sync
[05:54] <Madpilot> renato, probably wmv, it (should) run by default on any Windows box
[05:54] <nrdb> jn: have you tried 'ntpdate'
[05:54] <jn> 30 Jul 03:54:23 ntpdate[9119] : no servers can be used, exiting
[05:54] <jn> 30 Jul 03:54:23 ntpdate[9119] : no servers can be used, exiting
[05:54] <jessekenney> damn
[05:54] <jn> where do i put servers?
[05:54] <Screeling> is there a program I can use from the command line to back files up to DVD? I can't get Gnome to start
[05:55] <nrdb> jn: it might need to be configured
[05:55] <sethk> FusionXN1, it's failing on the check for gtk+ version 2.4.4
[05:55] <jessekenney> how is open office. ive heard it can run some good wondows software. like macromedia and adobe. well Adobe. lol
[05:55] <FusionXN1> sethk: yes
[05:56] <sethk> FusionXN1, so look in synaptic for gtk dev files.  we only looked at glib
[05:56] <jn> nrdb: do you know how to configure it
[05:56] <CrazyDoode> Screeling: cdrecord
[05:56] <sethk> FusionXN1, start with libgtk2.0-dev
[05:56] <Screeling> thank you CrazyDoode
[05:56] <yuheng108> how do you set up wine?
[05:56] <CrazyDoode> and use tar aswell, it'll help compress stuff.
[05:57] <shawn_> sethk, /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: please specify a package to reconfigure
[05:57] <frostystorm> You should be able to download wine's source and do a basic ./configure make make install with it, at least thats how i did it on slackware and SuSE
[05:57] <jessekenney> so no advice for a windows switcher?
[05:57] <sethk> shawn_, xserver-xorg
[05:58] <sethk> shawn_, or xorg-xserver.  I can never remember which  :)
[05:58] <shawn_> k
[05:58] <jessekenney> thats to bad. ive got 5 ubuntu disks here
[05:58] <jessekenney> havent used them yet
[05:58] <FusionXN1> sethk: didnt see that worked :)
[05:58] <sethk> shawn_, it's xserver-xorg
[05:58] <sethk> FusionXN1, great.
[05:58] <shawn_> thanks
[05:58] <FusionXN1> sethk: now it wants libart-2.0
[05:58] <sethk> FusionXN1, well, that's progress.  does synaptic know about libart?
[05:58] <FusionXN1> sethk: got it
[05:59] <sethk> good.  I have libart-2.0-dev.  We have a pattern here  :)   libwhatever-2.0-dev
[05:59] <nrdb> jn: it looks like you need to find an ntp server somewhere close for you to use.
[05:59] <Madpilot> jessekenney, OpenOffice can produce PDFs, if that's what you mean...
[05:59] <FusionXN1> sethk: says for TIFF support i need (TIFF library not found)
[06:00] <jn> nrdb: and put that info where?
[06:00] <frostystorm> Does ubuntu come with KDE on the DVD or is it a gnome only kinda thing?
[06:00] <FusionXN1> sethk: libtiff4-dev ?
[06:00] <sethk> FusionXN1, so much for the pattern.  I'll look
[06:00] <nrdb> jn: in the command line arg
[06:00] <safrican_> frostystorm: look into Kubuntu
[06:00] <sethk> FusionXN1, you found it before me.  :)
[06:00] <FusionXN1> sethk: sweet k 1 mo
[06:00] <shawn_> sethk, "Use kernel framebuffer device interface?"
[06:01] <sethk> shawn_, say no
[06:01] <RogerBacon> no ?
[06:01] <FusionXN1> sethk: now i need libgimpprint
[06:01] <apeman2020> hello al
[06:01] <apeman2020> all
[06:01] <FusionXN1> sethk: but i dont need it so :)
[06:01] <RogerBacon> hi
[06:02] <apeman2020> I have misconfigured my kubuntu install
[06:02] <apeman2020> i need to reset my video drivers
[06:02] <apeman2020> HELP~
[06:02] <sethk> FusionXN1, the v2 for gimpprint doesn't have 2 in it.  it is just libgimpprint or libimpprint1
[06:02] <nrdb> jn: another thing you could see if works is install ntp-simple
[06:02] <regeya> d'poh.
[06:02] <sethk> FusionXN1, I didn't type all the letters but you get the idea.
[06:02] <FusionXN1> apeman2020:  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:02] <sethk> apeman2020, dpkg-reconfig xserver-xorg
[06:03] <apeman2020> thanks fusion
[06:03] <jn> nrdb: so would it be ntpdate blah.org
[06:03] <FusionXN1> sethk: its past (dont got printer so i told it to pass) so ill see if it will make
[06:03] <nrdb> jn: yep
[06:03] <apeman2020> any particular directory?
[06:03] <sethk> FusionXN1, sounds promising
[06:03] <sethk> apeman2020, doesn't matter
[06:04] <jn> ok.. seemed to work but the time is the same
[06:04] <FusionXN1> sethk: make - command not found?1
[06:04] <RogerBacon> apeman2020 : sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:04] <sethk> FusionXN1, what command?
[06:05] <nrdb> jn: is it still wrong?
[06:05] <FusionXN1> sethk: make
[06:05] <jn> yes
[06:05] <jn> 30 Jul 04:04:39 ntpdate[9653] : adjust time server 63.246.128.120 offset 0.003814 sec
[06:05] <sethk> FusionXN1, did you do develop-essential
[06:05] <jn> but the time did NOT change
[06:05] <nrdb> jn: have you checked your timezone?
[06:05] <FusionXN1> sethk: drr no lol 1 mo
[06:06] <jn> checked my timezone?
[06:06] <FusionXN1> got the package :)
[06:06] <Linuturk> quickbooks or financing software for ubuntu?
[06:06] <FusionXN1> sethk: downloaded build-essential
[06:06] <FusionXN1> sethk: working now
[06:06] <jn> www.pool.ntp.org/zone/us
[06:06] <jn> that's what i found
[06:06] <frostystorm> Now from what i read if i install the one CD, i shouldnt end up with about 6 different softwares that do the same thing on my computer right?
[06:06] <FusionXN1> apeman2020: working?
[06:07] <sethk> FusionXN1, sounds good.  if it got past configure and is building, you are probably set.
[06:07] <peabody> Anyone know how to specify the DEL character in a .lesskey file?
[06:07] <apeman2020> roger
[06:07] <apeman2020> thanks brother
[06:07] <FusionXN1> sethk: wanna see how this looks
[06:07] <sethk> FusionXN1, sure
[06:07] <FusionXN1> sethk: CRAP error 2
[06:07] <nrdb> jn: in linux the computers clock is set to a universal time (GMT) then the current offset determined by where you are is +/- from that time to display.
[06:08] <nrdb> jn: cat '/etc/timezone'
[06:08] <sethk> nrdb, if the system clock is not set to UTC then strange things happen, as I'm sure you know.
[06:09] <FusionXN1> sethk: missing libart2 package as it says in the INSTALL file so i got it now ill try agaimn
[06:09] <sethk> k
[06:09] <nrdb> jn: did you see the comment by sethk?
[06:09] <frostystorm> Ubuntu doesnt by anychance have torrents up does it?
[06:10] <Flav> frostystorm: sure - there are .torrent files @ http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/6.06/release/
[06:10] <jn> no i did not
[06:10] <jn> it's my local time zone
[06:10] <jn> just wrong time
[06:11] <jn> so how do i set to UTC
[06:11] <jn> and get the time changed to the correct time
[06:11] <FusionXN1> sethk: still error
[06:11] <suny> prblem
[06:11] <frostystorm> Thank you
[06:11] <apeman2020> how do i restart x server from the command line? or is starting it enough?
[06:11] <sethk> FusionXN1, keep fixing each error.  eventually it have to finish.
[06:11] <Tsukaggin> Hey. Any one know how I schedual programs to start on bootup? Like Firestarter and Gaim for example.
[06:12] <sethk> apeman2020, if it is running, you won't be able to start it.  do    sudo killall gdm
[06:12] <sethk> apeman2020, if it isn't running, then nothing will be killed, but that's harmless
[06:12] <nrdb> jn: if your timezone is correct and you used ntpdate I don't know why you dont see the correct time, sorry :(
[06:12] <apeman2020> I have already logged out of my UI session
[06:12] <apeman2020> does that matter?
[06:12] <jn> wtf
[06:12] <FusionXN1> sethk: always the same error
[06:12] <ic56> tw/rn uroboros 10
[06:13] <sethk> apeman2020, if the login screen is still running, you'll have to kill gdm.  as I said, go ahead and kill it.  if it isn't running, it does nothing, and if it is, you'll kill it.
[06:13] <sethk> FusionXN1, what error?
[06:13] <ic56> Tsukaggin: start on bootup or login?  It doesn't make sense to start gaim on boot up -- under which user would it run?  You or your wife?
[06:13] <apeman2020> yeah its dead.. i am in the BASH
[06:13] <FusionXN1> sethk: lots of em like: gimp-composite-mmx.c:1145: error: unknown register name %mm5 in asm
[06:14] <Tsukaggin> On log in.
[06:14] <sethk> apeman2020, ok,  but it can be running.  if you do   control-alt-f7, and see nothing, then it is dead.  don't worry, though, if it is running and you try to start it, it will just say "it's already running, can't start" or something similar.
[06:14] <jn> sethk: can you help me with the time.. my timezone is correct, and i used ntpdate pool.ntp.org
[06:14] <sethk> FusionXN1, that's odd.  Are you on x86?  or 64 bit?
[06:14] <jn> and it says it's 4:14AM still
[06:14] <lufis> Does anybody have any Linux blog suggestions or Linux-related blog "planet" aggregators?
[06:14] <FusionXN1> x86
[06:15] <jn> it's not even close
[06:15] <ic56> Tsukaggin: for GNOME logins, put the commands in your ~/.gnomerc  For logins from a console (F1-F6), put them in your ~/.profile
[06:15] <MilesAttacca> How do you mount a flash drive in a digital camera connected by USB?
[06:15] <sethk> jn, ntp can take several minutes to sync up.  Did you kill and restart the clock?
[06:15] <jn> how do i do that?
[06:15] <lufis> MilesAttacca: Is it not mounting automatically?
[06:15] <sethk> MilesAttacca, exactly the same way you mount a usb memory card or stick or whatever.
[06:16] <Agatah> Can I add Debian repositories for update Ubuntu ????
[06:16] <MilesAttacca> Ah, here we go. It does mount automatically.
[06:16] <MilesAttacca> Never mind, then.
[06:16] <sethk> jn, do  ps aux | grep -i clock.   that should show you the name of the clock program.  then try to kill it and restart it.  Or do it the easy way and reboot.
[06:16] <Tsukaggin> thanks
[06:16] <lufis> MilesAttacca: :D good
[06:16] <FusionXN1> sethk: someone has made a .deb on the forum so ill grab that - what do i do to uninstall this bit
[06:16] <ic56> Tsukaggin: yw
[06:17] <MilesAttacca> Yeah, forgot it wasn't turned on. I'm going to use it to transfer graphics drivers over from this computer (since the CD writer is currently MIA).
[06:17] <sethk> FusionXN1, not necessary to uninstall, because you never got to "make install".  just erase the files you extracted.
[06:17] <sethk> FusionXN1, I'd leave them there for now, until I know the deb actually works.
[06:17] <Agatah> Can I add Debian repositories for update Ubuntu ????
[06:17] <wheels3572> what's the name for vnc here in Linux so I can grab it and install it?  I just need the name of the package
[06:18] <sethk> wheels3572, do a search for vnc in synaptic.  you'll find several alternatives
[06:18] <asparagui> wheels3572: you can use "terminal server client".
[06:18] <jn> the time is the same
[06:18] <jn> :\
[06:18] <ic56> Agatah: you can use Debian repositories but it's ill-advised.  The software there won't be in sync with the software on the Ubuntu repos
[06:19] <sethk> jn, that is odd.  I would reboot and see if the "contacting ntp server" step completes normally.
[06:19] <Agatah> ok, thanks.
[06:19] <ic56> Agatah: yw
[06:19] <jn> alright
[06:19] <sethk> jn, that's kind of like telling someone to reboot windows because you don't know what else to do, but in this case it might actually be helpful.  :)
[06:19] <jn> heh thank you
[06:19] <wheels3572> sethk, ty I will look in synaptic
[06:20] <keh7d> how do you tell if you are logged in as root?
[06:21] <shawn_> sethk, didn't work
[06:21] <sethk> keh7d, you can do    whoami    at the prompt, or   id
[06:21] <Agatah> Im trying install firestarter on xUbuntu, but cant find it on Ubuntu repositories :(
[06:21] <shawn_> sethk, i ran the reconfig... i only have one option to select from in pref>resolution
[06:21] <sethk> shawn_, what happens?  still going to the same resolution as before?
[06:21] <shawn_> sethk, and its 1680
[06:21] <harry> help please
[06:21] <shawn_> you wanna see my entire xorg?
[06:21] <harry> me?? shawn_?
[06:22] <sethk> shawn_, yes.  during the reconfigure, when it showed resolutions, which ones did it allow you to check?
[06:22] <lufis> Anybody else use an RSS aggregator wanna share what we have in them?
[06:22] <ic56> Agatah: I've heard plenty of people install and use firestarter on Ubuntu.  It *must* be on the repositories.  Maybe you're searching by the wrong name
[06:22] <shawn_> about 5 diff ones, 1680 and 1440 and a few smaller ones
[06:22] <agabus> why does trying to apt-get build-essential not work for me? (in dapper)
[06:22] <sethk> shawn_, but not the one you want?
[06:22] <MilesAttacca> Ubuntu won't let me su -- says "Authentication failure" even with the correct password and everything in the terminal.
[06:22] <harry> ic56: i'm having a trouble with my computer right now. my mouse is too slow
[06:22] <lufis> agabus: apt-get install build-essential ?
[06:22] <sethk> agabus, did  you use sudo?
[06:22] <shawn_> sethk, yea the one i want is 1440
[06:22] <agabus> lufis - yes
[06:22] <keh7d> sethk, thanks. is there a way to check my "permissions" to see which user names are root?
[06:22] <Agatah> the name is write. But is on Xubuntu. Maybe the problem is Gnome ???
[06:22] <agabus> sethk - yes
[06:23] <storm> !NVIDIA
[06:23] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:23] <harry> ic56: adjusting it's settings wont work. and my icons on my menu doesnt appear
[06:23] <sethk> shawn_, wait, you said you see 1440 on the list, and 1440 is what you want?
[06:23] <keh7d> sethk, really new... kind of confused...
[06:23] <lufis> agabus: ;) I thought you might be leaving out the "install" part.
[06:23] <sethk> keh7d, you mean which users have admin privileges?
[06:23] <Agatah> ic56: the name is write. But is on Xubuntu. Maybe the problem is Gnome ???
[06:23] <keh7d> sethk, yea
[06:23] <shawn_> sethk, 1440 is im my xorg, only 1680 shows up in my resolution list
[06:23] <sethk> keh7d, any user with user ID 0 is all powerful
[06:23] <jn> back
[06:23] <agabus> lufis - Package build-essential 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
[06:23] <ic56> Agatah: dunno Agatah.
[06:24] <shawn_> sethk, http://pastebin.ca/106169
[06:24] <jn> time is the same. wrong.
[06:24] <jn> i dont get it
[06:24] <keh7d> sethk, is ID 0 the same as root?
[06:24] <sethk> shawn_, yes, I know, but 1440 showed on the list during reconfigure, and you were able to put a check for that resolution to select it?
[06:24] <sethk> keh7d, yes
[06:24] <jn> if time-admin didnt fail this would be easy.. wtf
[06:24] <shawn_> sethk, yea... http://pastebin.ca/106169

[06:25] <rbond> Question: I am having this really strange problem with Ubuntu Dapper. I am attempting to play videos via Mplayer. The results that I am getting is a slow playback. It is not a choppy play black, it's the actual speed of the video. My mplayer preferences have the video set to XV and the audio to ALSA. Can anyone offer any suggestions?
[06:25] <sethk> jn, did you reboot?  if so, do   dmesg | grep ntp     see if it contacted the ntp server successfully
[06:25] <UpstatePirate> wassup all?
[06:25] <ic56> Agatah: is "universe" in your repository?
[06:25] <sethk> keh7d, all logged in users, or all defined users?
[06:25] <keh7d> sethk, all defined
[06:25] <yuheng108> if in Ubuntu you use GTK_IM_MODULE=scim, what do you use that have the same effect in KDE?
[06:25] <sethk> keh7d, cat /etc/passwd
[06:25] <ic56> harry: I don't know much about mice.
[06:25] <Agatah> ubotu: So, can I install on Xubuntu too ???
[06:25] <ubotu> I know nothing about So, can I install on Xubuntu too ??? - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[06:26] <ic56> harry: try asking the channel as a whole
[06:26] <jn> nothing came back seth
[06:26] <sethk> jn, that's odd.
[06:26] <matt_> hi, I'm wrestling with ivtv, does Dapper use /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware ?
[06:26] <Agatah> ic56: Im using the default repositories.
[06:26] <apeman2020> how do i change the root level so that it always boots to the command line?
[06:26] <ic56> Agatah: ubotu is a bot (a program).  It spoke because I gave it a command.
[06:27] <Agatah> ok
[06:27] <ic56> !universe
[06:27] <harry> ic56: thats just the one of the things i noticed on my system. when hold the backspace. it wont continue. i have to press it repeatedly and i cant run firestarter i cant run synaptic package manager
[06:27] <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
[06:27] <sethk> jn, I didn't see everything you said earlier.  you installed ntpdate?
[06:27] <jn> sethk: ntpdate syncs the time but it thinks its correct so it's by milaseconds
[06:27] <ic56> Agatah: check out teh above URLs to beef-up your /etc/apt/sources.list file so apt-get will find firestarter
[06:27] <jn> ntpdate was already installed
[06:27] <keh7d> sethk, and now for the question that makes me an idiot. if i have forgotten my root password... what can i do?
[06:28] <sethk> jn, ok, do you get the correct minutes but the wrong hours?
[06:28] <jn> time zone came back as los angeles ca which is close enough
[06:28] <jn> but the time is wayyy off
[06:28] <harry> ic56: i tried restarting my computer but it doesnt help. this just happned when i tried to install wine from winehq and installed the latest kernel
[06:28] <sethk> keh7d, boot a live cd or rescue cd, edit /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow, and remove the password for root from both.  then boot the system and do passwd (as root) or sudo passwd
[06:28] <jn> yes the min is correct hour ahead by 7
[06:29] <jn> so i just need to set the time back 7 hours and im good :)
[06:29] <sethk> jn, try rebooting and going into setup.  see what the hardware clock is set to.  If it is not set to gmt, then change it.
[06:30] <jn> how do i go into setup?
[06:30] <sethk> jn, sounds like the hardware clock is set to local time, and the system, thinking that the hardware clock is set to gmt, is changing it by seven hours to get what it thinks is local time.
[06:30] <MilesAttacca> I'm trying to install nVidia's nForce driver (AMD64), and it says I need the system utility "ld", part of the "binutils" package. Any advice on where to find it?
[06:30] <apeman2020> how can i set the root level to 2, i dont want to boot directly into the UI.
[06:30] <apeman2020> >>
[06:30] <sethk> jn, usually when you reboot the system it will say "press del for setup"   or press f10, or something similar.
[06:30] <jn> bios setup?
[06:30] <sethk> jn, right
[06:30] <storm> !NVIDIA
[06:31] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:31] <sethk> jn, that's where you can check/set the hardware clock
[06:31] <ic56> harry: you're asking the wrong guy.  ask the channel as a whole
[06:31] <jn> so im chaning the time in the bios
[06:31] <jn> ok
[06:31] <jn> thanks again
[06:31] <sethk> MilesAttacca, sudo apt-get install develop-essential
[06:31] <ic56> apeman2020: edit /etc/inittab  change the "default" entry
[06:31] <shawn_> sethk, i didn't reinstall the nvida driver, i was able to select "nvidia" from a list during reconfigure
[06:31] <sethk> shawn_, that's fine.  that's the public domain nvidia driver, which works just fine if you aren't a gamer.
[06:32] <MilesAttacca> sethk: Where can I find it if I'm using a Windows computer right now and the Linux box doesn't have a phone cable running to it?
[06:32] <frantic> hello friends
[06:32] <shawn_> sethk, oh i thought that was "nv" cause i had both "nv" and "nvidia" in the list
[06:32] <sethk> MilesAttacca, you can download the source and install it that way.  It's part of binutils
[06:32] <sethk> MilesAttacca, binutils source is on the gnu web site
[06:33] <harry> why does my icon doesnt appear before the menu. and my mouse is very  slow. adjusting its settings wont work. loading the settings again just returns it to slow. i cant run synaptic. i cant run firestarter. this just happend when i installed wine from winehq
[06:33] <sethk> MilesAttacca, probably better to download the correct .deb file, but I don't know how to do that.
[06:33] <primal> hello all
[06:33] <ic56> apeman2020: Ooops, "initdefault" entry.  Should be the first entry in teh file.  Set the second field.  However, you'll be disappointed to discover that the GUI is on level 2 in Ubuntu.  This means, you'll have to shift all the /etc/rc2.d entries over to rc3.d and so on.
[06:33] <sethk> shawn_, oh, ok, reconfigure is smart enough to know that you installed nvidia for this kernel.
[06:33] <frantic> Soooo has anyone here had any luck running WoW in Wine?
[06:34] <DarkMageZ> frantic, i've heard many many stories of it being sucessfully done
[06:34] <frantic> I've got it running perfectly except for right click doesn't work
[06:34] <DarkMageZ> frantic, and i've also heard that the new wine version has some patches to make it run easier
[06:34] <wheels3571> Can anyone help me get my ghost outta here?
[06:34] <primal> does anyone know what the name of some video configuration app that looks like it has four TV screens on it?
[06:34] <frantic> right click is essential as far as i know
[06:35] <primal> it's already installed in dapper
[06:35] <frantic> yeah, i'm running the latest wine i think
[06:35] <frantic> 0.99
[06:35] <MilesAttacca> sethk: Does it come with an installer when decompressed?
[06:35] <primal> i've used it once and now can't remember what it was called
[06:35] <MilesAttacca> (Pheer the newb, I'm afraid.)
[06:35] <frantic> 0.9.9 i guess
[06:36] <FusionXN1> night all thanks for the help.
[06:36] <DarkMageZ> frantic, i heard of one person with the same right click issue under wine with wow, he found a solution using google to memory
[06:36] <primal> anyone?
[06:38] <primal> wow, must be a slow night
[06:38] <primal> i've never really seen it this quiet before
[06:38] <shawn_> sethk, did you check out that pastebin?
[06:39] <MilesAttacca> Ubuntu does support adding TrueType fonts, right?
[06:39] <ruoho> good morning can anyone tell me what is this info bar on the top left of this screenshot? http://img46.imageshack.us/my.php?image=200607281334211152x864scrotev7.png
[06:40] <ruoho> every distro supports any font afaik
[06:40] <jn> it worked!

[06:41] <Subdee> hey guys i have a problem when upgrading to Dapper. it says that xserver-xorg-core could not replace the file /usr/bin/scanpci because it is also a part of package gatos. i can't go any further than that!
[06:41] <jn> also to the other guy who helped with ntp thanks a ton
[06:41] <sethk> jn, np
[06:41] <MilesAttacca> ruoho: I heard something awhile back about one distro or other now supporting TT fonts. Dunno where exactly.
[06:41] <ruoho> are u using gnome by any chance MilesAttacca ?
[06:41] <primal> it sets what codecs (i think) you want to use, etc
[06:42] <MilesAttacca> ruoho: Why yes I am.
[06:42] <fivre> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1316304
[06:42] <fivre> any help?
[06:42] <sethk> all the distros support TT fonts.  You just have to install the font server that supports them.  It's one of the two common font servers, and it's in the repository
[06:42] <ruoho> just dl the font u want go to font settings on menu, font folder and drag & drop it there
[06:43] <ruoho> u have to restart gnome after
[06:43] <ruoho> then u can choose it for any app
[06:44] <ruoho> good morning can anyone tell me what is this info bar on the top left of this screenshot? http://img46.imageshack.us/my.php?image=200607281334211152x864scrotev7.png
[06:45] <ruoho> is it gdesklets or sth?

[06:45] <Subdee> can someone help me?  i have a problem when upgrading to Dapper. it says that xserver-xorg-core could not replace the file /usr/bin/scanpci because it is also a part of package gatos. i can't go any further than that!
[06:46] <sethk> shawn_, sorry, I have a phone call I have to handle.  I'll try to get back here shortly.
[06:46] <harisund> does anybody know how to disable the feature of the whole screen becoming dark when a sudo password box pops up in Gnome? That takes up all my resources... I just want to disable it.
[06:46] <jn> oh wow problem is back
[06:46] <shawn_> anyone help me? i have 1440x900 (amoung others) in my xorg, but only 1680 shows up in my resolution list
[06:47] <jn> i guess the server is messing it up
[06:47] <theshibboleth> shawn:Have you restarted the x-server yet?
[06:47] <shawn_> yea
[06:47] <jn> cause when i changed the time in bios, and restarted it showed up correctly.. then i just noticed it went back to the way it was
[06:47] <shawn_> and a reboot
[06:47] <MilesAttacca> Jack_Sparrow: Know anything about binutils?
[06:47] <Jack_Sparrow> NO sorry
[06:48] <theshibboleth> shawn: did you change the resolution for the right depth setting in xorg.conf?
[06:48] <ic56> MilesAttaca: what about binutils?
[06:48] <Jack_Sparrow> anyone have limewire or frostwire I need a personal favor
[06:48] <jn> sethk: so i guess what im gonna do is turn off that ntp service or stop it from auto updating, and set time in bios
[06:48] <ic56> MilesAttacca: what about binutils?
[06:48] <jn> any idea on how to stop the ntp service from updateing the time
[06:48] <MilesAttacca> ic56: Does it have some kind of automated install process?
[06:48] <shawn_> theshibboleth, http://pastebin.ca/106169
[06:49] <sethk> jn, there is still something off in the time zone setting.  I'll have to look up how that works, but I can't do it right now.  You can disable it for the time being.
[06:49] <MilesAttacca> ic56: I'm already downloading the tarball (going to take quite a while on dial-up), just wanted to know for when I'm finally able to get at it.
[06:49] <sethk> jn, I think I would just lie to it about the time zone and force it to read the correct time.
[06:49] <jn> so what are you recommending i do now?
[06:49] <MehAdult> !mp3
[06:49] <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
[06:49] <ic56> MilesAttacca: binutils is part of the base install.  Why are you downloading a tarball of it?
[06:50] <theshibboleth> shawn_: Do you only want to use a resolution of 1440x900?
[06:50] <`JB> Jack_Sparrow: What is that ?
[06:50] <shawn_> yes
[06:50] <MilesAttacca> ic56: Dunno why, but it wasn't present. And I need to use "ld" as part of the installation process for my nVidia drivers.
[06:51] <tritium> MilesAttacca: ?  Just install the ubuntu packages
[06:51] <theshibboleth> shawn_: have you backed up your xorg.conf file yet and do you know how to restore it from the command line?
[06:51] <shawn_> yes
[06:51] <MilesAttacca> Ubuntu packages?
[06:51] <jn> sethk: lie to it about the time zone? or turn it off.. i dont know how to do either.
[06:51] <ic56> MilesAttacca: my mistake, the binutils aren't part of the base install.   Here read this:
[06:52] <tritium> !nvidia > MilesAttacca
[06:52] <ic56> !compile
[06:52] <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!)
[06:52] <sethk> jn, as soon as I get off this phone call I'll look up where the time zone config lives.
[06:52] <jn> ok
[06:52] <tritium> MilesAttacca: the nvidia drivers are already packaged for you ;)
[06:52] <Jack_Sparrow> 'jb I need a song for a funeral...
[06:53] <MilesAttacca> tritium: They are? How should I get to 'em? So far Ubuntu's gotten the wrong drivers or something, the system keeps locking up and I have to restart.
[06:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Please pm me if you can help
[06:53] <shawn_> theshibboleth, yes i have and do
[06:53] <jn>  /etc/timezone
[06:53] <MilesAttacca> I also can't just use apt-get for this as the computer in question isn't connected to the Interweb yet.
[06:53] <tritium> MilesAttacca: see the URL I had ubotu send you
[06:53] <`JB> Jack_Sparrow: Oh boy! Too much of that in my life. I am sorry I don't have anything.
[06:54] <MilesAttacca> tritium: Found that awhile ago.
[06:54] <theshibboleth> shawn_: ok. see what happens if you just remove the 1680x1050 resolution entries in xorg.conf and restart Xserver.
[06:54] <tritium> MilesAttacca: then you should know that there are ubuntu packages
[06:54] <shawn_> ok
[06:55] <MilesAttacca> tritium: Totally misunderstood the nature of Synaptic up until now.
[06:55] <jn> brb
[06:55] <shawn_> theshibboleth, be right back restarting x
[06:55] <roostishaw> what would be the python equivalent to this bash var?  current_directory=$(pwd)
[06:55] <tritium> MilesAttacca: ah, okay.
[06:55] <theshibboleth> shawn_:alright.
[06:56] <MilesAttacca> tritium: The thing is that now it wants to download more repository indexes, and of course, can't./
[06:57] <tritium> MilesAttacca: why don't you have internet access on it?  Need any help with that first?
[06:57] <shawn_> theshibboleth, nope didn't do it.
[06:58] <shawn_> theshibboleth, what i do notice is that it starts out as 1440, right as the desktop starts to show, the switches to 1680
[06:59] <theshibboleth> shawn_, that's strange. You are editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf as root, right?
[06:59] <MilesAttacca> tritium: I'm on dial-up, and working from the Windows computer right next to it, so I'd rather still be in here in case something goes wrong (since that computer has been freezing up a lot).
[06:59] <shawn_> theshibboleth, yea, sudo
[06:59] <jkusunoki> hello
[06:59] <shawn_> theshibboleth, i am running compiz/xgl that matter?
[06:59] <frantic> man, so disappointing.  it's so close to running wow perfectly but nothing i've found fixes this right click thing
[06:59] <jkusunoki> i need to know something
[06:59] <jn> sethk: something i remembered, when i initially installed ubuntu i had the time wrong but i did set the time zone correctly.. that could have something to do with this problem im having now
[06:59] <MilesAttacca> tritium: And since it wants to download those packages, I'm going the long route of downloading the drivers from nVidia's website, now getting binutils, etc.
[07:00] <jkusunoki> what kind of graphic entorn does ubuntu use?
[07:00] <jkusunoki> gnome?
[07:00] <theshibboleth> shawn_: it could, but I doubt it. I think all the configurations are in xorg.conf.
[07:00] <shawn_> theshibboleth, could it be that something is probing the monitor for info and like auto setting it?
[07:00] <theshibboleth> shawn_, you could see what happens if you turn xgl/compiz off
[07:00] <tritium> MilesAttacca: you can just as easily download the .deb packages
[07:01] <theshibboleth> shawn_, I
[07:01] <sarra_> !nvidia
[07:01] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:01] <jkusunoki> !gnome
[07:01] <ubotu> gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop.
[07:01] <MilesAttacca> tritium: How should I go about that?
[07:01] <theshibboleth> shawn_, I'm not really sure. See what happens with xgl/compiz off.
[07:01] <tritium> MilesAttacca: packages.ubuntu.com
[07:01] <shawn_> theshibboleth, lemme disable the compiz script and log back in
[07:01] <shawn_> brb
[07:01] <jkusunoki> does ubuntu use gnome?
[07:01] <MilesAttacca> tritium: Thanks.
[07:01] <DShepherd> jkusunoki: yes
[07:01] <Darkhack> yes jkusunoki, it uses gnome
[07:01] <rus1> yes
[07:02] <klees> im looking for a backup solution
[07:02] <klees> something like system restore
[07:02] <Darkhack> Ubuntu = Gnome  ---- Kubuntu = KDE ------ Xubuntu = XFCE
[07:02] <tritium> MilesAttacca: you'll have to install those manually with dpkg, or gdebi (gui).  Luckily, you should already have the dependencies installed (only apt handles dependencies, not dpkg or gdebi)
[07:02] <DarkMageZ> jkusunoki, tho, if you prefer kde, then you should go for kubuntu, or xfce? then xubuntu
[07:02] <jkusunoki> i was asking it because i was trying to install a gnome theme but it doesnt work and i dont know why?
[07:03] <Darkhack> I actually set on my fathers computer with Ubuntu which I am on right now.  We both hated Xubuntu because that paticular version of XFCE was buggy as hell.  I personally wouldn't recommend it at all.
[07:03] <DShepherd> jkusunoki: have you tried another gnome theme?
[07:04] <jkusunoki> yes they work
[07:04] <MilesAttacca> tritium: Which group should the package be in?
[07:04] <shawn_> theshibboleth, nope still no options other than 1680
[07:04] <jkusunoki> but i was thinking that it was because im not using gnome
[07:04] <shawn_> theshibboleth, could it be the nvidia driver?
[07:04] <jkusunoki> but if you say that ubuntu uses gnome
[07:04] <jkusunoki> so maybe the problem is the theme
[07:04] <DShepherd> jkusunoki: i think your reasoning is right
[07:04] <rbond> Question: I am having this really strange problem with Ubuntu Dapper. I am attempting to play videos via Mplayer. The results that I am getting is a slow playback. It is not a choppy play black, it's the actual speed of the video. My mplayer preferences have the video set to XV and the audio to ALSA. Can anyone offer any suggestions?
[07:05] <rbond> Also to add, VLC works perfectly
[07:05] <shawn_> rbond, what graphix card and driver?
[07:05] <klees> can anyone recommend me a backup solution?
[07:05] <shawn_> theshibboleth, nope still no options other than 1680
[07:05] <ugen64> hello
[07:05] <shawn_> theshibboleth, could it be the nvidia driver?
[07:06] <theshibboleth> shawn_, I think that if xgl/compiz is working, then the driver must be working, although it doesn't look as though you have all the recommended options set up.
[07:06] <ugen64> noob question:
[07:06] <rbond> shawn, ATI All In Wonder Radeon Pro is the Videocard
[07:06] <mnvl> hi i have about 15 kernels in my boot menu how do i get rid of them?
[07:06] <ugen64> in sources.list, do i just change main --> unstable to access the unstable repository?
[07:06] <ugen64> (that is, make 2 new lines with main changed to unstable)
[07:06] <shawn_> theshibboleth, i mean could the nvidia driver be setting my resolution?
[07:06] <klees> mnvl: u need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[07:06] <klees> mnvl: u will see all ur kernel entries
[07:06] <shawn_> theshibboleth, isn't there an nvida config tool?
[07:07] <DShepherd> klees: http://linux.about.com/od/softbackup/ <-- I dont know if those will help
[07:07] <MilesAttacca> tritium: Which group should the package be in?
[07:07] <shawn_> rbo. what video driver?
[07:07] <theshibboleth> shawn_, just a sec
[07:07] <apeman2020> How can i edit the inittab?>
[07:07] <mnvl> thx klees
[07:07] <DShepherd> klees: google is a nice place to start too.. that's how i found that link
[07:07] <klees> lol
[07:07] <klees> everyone knows about google
[07:07] <DShepherd> klees: everyone but you :-P
[07:07] <theshibboleth> shawn_, yes. The confi tool is called nvidia-settings.
[07:07] <klees> but i bet people ask here first to get a quick answer
[07:08] <rbond> shawn, Does mplayer rely on video card acceleration
[07:08] <shawn_> apeman2020, sudo gedit /etc/inittab
[07:08] <DShepherd> klees: and your right
[07:08] <klees> exactly
[07:08] <theshibboleth> shawn_, there are a couple other tools but that one's the only supported one.
[07:08] <solomon> gnucash 2 on edgy is crashing when i try to save my new file.  i get this little message:  *** glibc detected *** gnucash: double free or corruption (out): 0x0000000000ef40c0 ***
[07:08] <shawn_> rbond, my video wouldn't work right untill i installed the nvidia drivers
[07:08] <klees> some (like me) do not have the time to do research
[07:08] <DShepherd> klees: check our the link and see if anything helps you
[07:08] <klees> np.  thx
[07:08] <shawn_> theshibboleth, let me try it
[07:08] <rbond> Ok I am going to try installing ATI drivers from the ATI fglrx wiki
[07:08] <DShepherd> klees: or your just lazy like the rest of us
[07:08] <shawn_> rbond.. hold up
[07:08] <klees> exactly
[07:09] <Elda> Hello
[07:09] <DShepherd> hi
[07:09] <shawn_> rbond, http://easylinux.info/wiki/Ubuntu_dapper#How_to_install_Graphics_Driver_.28ATI.29
[07:10] <shawn_> theshibboleth, crap
[07:10] <apeman2020> shawn: not working
[07:10] <apeman2020> i am at the /etc/ dir, and typing
[07:10] <theshibboleth> shawn_, hmm?
[07:10] <apeman2020> edit /etc/inittab
[07:10] <DShepherd> klees: you could do an search for 'backup' in an apt tool
[07:10] <DShepherd> klees: I am sure there's stuff there.. I just dont know a good one
[07:10] <DShepherd> :-)
[07:10] <shawn_> apeman2020, "sudo gedit /etc/inittab"
[07:11] <klees> yeah there r
[07:11] <shawn_> theshibboleth, it wants to remove the package "nvidia-glx"
[07:11] <dibblego> is there a command that will split a file into two files at a given offset?
[07:11] <klees> i was just wondering if people had a favorite
[07:11] <klees> a common one people use
[07:11] <theshibboleth> shawn_: oh. Then don't install it.
[07:11] <shawn_> lol
[07:11] <shawn_> this is driving me nuts
[07:11] <shawn_> i wonder if i delete the entire monitor section if it will still start x lol
[07:11] <wastrel> dibblego:  you can use head and tail for that
[07:12] <DShepherd> klees: you running gnome?
[07:12] <dibblego> shawn_, I spent three hours with nvidia-glx and the nvidia installer yesterday to no avail, something is broken
[07:12] <theshibboleth> shawn_, according to http://easylinux.info/wiki/Ubuntu_dapper#How_to_install_Xgl.2FCompiz_.28Nvidia.29 you should have the i2c module set
[07:12] <dibblego> wastrel, of course, thanks
[07:12] <klees> DShepherd: yes i am
[07:12] <DShepherd> klees: try gnomefiles.org
[07:12] <klees> ok
[07:12] <azrael0> But you'll note that compare has multiple possible values.
[07:12] <azrael0> Sorry, wrong window.
[07:12] <wastrel> dibblego:  split also but i don't know the syntax offhand :] 
[07:13] <shawn_> i actually had that untill earlier when i reconfigured xserver
[07:13] <theshibboleth> shawn_, actually I might be wrong about that. I wasn't reading it right. you should keep everything how it is except you should add the modules that are specifically supposed to be set up and remove those that specifically need to be removed.
[07:13] <dekela> Anybody has a good tutorial for enabling 5.1 support in alsa + ubuntu and 0000:00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02)
[07:14] <shawn_> theshibboleth, yea just did that , lemme restart x again
[07:16] <shawn_> theshibboleth, still the same
[07:16] <shawn_> theshibboleth, and check this out....
[07:16] <SurfnKid> is there a way to make ubuntu refresh all devices when out of standby?
[07:16] <shawn_> theshibboleth, gconf-editor : desktop>gnome>screen>0> rate=60  resolution = 1440x900
[07:17] <shawn_> theshibboleth, gconf-editor : desktop>gnome>screen>default>0> rate=60  resolution = 1440x900
[07:17] <shawn_> theshibboleth, how can that be?
[07:17] <shawn_> tes, this isn't making sense
[07:17] <UncleD> I'm using pppoe which creates /var/run/pppd0.pid when I connect. If for some reason I get disconnected, I want my machine to try to reconnect (without needing to crontab pppd dsl-provider to run multiple proccesses) any ideas?
[07:17] <shawn_> theshibboleth, its literally like X isn't reading from xorg.conf, or somthing is overriding it
[07:19] <sethk> shawn_, yes, it is behaving as if you connected a new monitor, and it auto-reconfigures.  I'm trying to remember how to stop it from doing that.
[07:19] <sethk> shawn_, in effect you have connected a new monitor (or reconnected, or whatever).  That's what it sees.
[07:20] <shawn_> sethk, i have a secondary monitor that i use alot on my laptop
[07:20] <UncleD> How can I detect if my machine disconnects from the internet if i'm using pppoe and it creates a ppp0.pid file in /var/run/ ?
[07:20] <shawn_> sethk, but i want them both to display 1440
[07:20] <shawn_> this is crazy
[07:20] <sethk> shawn_, yes, I remember.
[07:20] <sethk> shawn_, it can be done, I'm just not remembering the right way to do it.
[07:21] <MystaMax> hello, can I have multiple wallpapers? for instance a different wallpaper per workspace? is this possible?
[07:22] <sethk> MystaMax, it's possible in kde.  I believe also in gnome, but I'm not certain.
[07:23] <theshibboleth> shawn_, I'm afraid I'm probably not going to be much use to you. I think though you probably need two screens in xorg.conf, but I have no familiarity with multiple screens nor the sort of problems you're having in Ubuntu. I'm going to be away from the computer for a while.
[07:23] <shawn_> sethk, think think!!! ;)
[07:23] <MilesAttacca> Well, I'm going to sign off. I've got a vacation coming up tomorrow, and I can't get everything done tonight. Thanks all. :)
[07:23] <shawn_> theshibboleth, its cool, thanks for the help
[07:23] <xaphod2> hi all - i've been a debian user for 6 years and i'm finally jumping to ubuntu (desktop reasons mostly). I've just grabbed the 6.06 dapper drake release and booted the CD, looks cool. However, problem: i need to manually partition and the partitioner hangs. I think it's b/c i have an early SATA chipset. How do i turn OFF sata support in the installer? I want to install to PATA anyways.
[07:23] <ruxpin^> is the utf-8 support for kde broken in dapper, or have I misconfigured something? konsole or konquror won't show my locale charset correctly, while other terminals and nautilus does???
[07:24] <ruxpin^> xaphod2: rmmod the correct kernel module?
[07:24] <xaphod2> ruxpin: won't the partitioner just load it back in?
[07:24] <sethk> xaphod2, there might be a kernel command line option.  Can you simply disable the SATA in the BIOS while you install?
[07:24] <ruxpin^> xaphod2: no idea
[07:24] <xaphod2> sethk: good question, but no, this mobo doesn't allow turning off sata :(
[07:25] <xaphod2> this seems to be a pretty common problem... lots of people have filed bugs but none have been reoslved, so i
[07:25] <xaphod2> so i'm guessing there's some workaround
[07:25] <Elda> Hiya Xaphod, I just installed Ubuntu again yesterday. And this is my third time trying to get used to linux xD
[07:25] <sethk> xaphod2, disconnect the drive  :)
[07:25] <xaphod2> sethk: there are no SATA drives in this computer
[07:25] <Elda> As the other two times I couldnt get wireless to work and gave up on ndiswrapper -_-
[07:26] <sethk> xaphod2, it hangs, you think, just talking to the sata chipset?
[07:26] <xaphod2> sethk: from my googling, yeah that's what i think. it's an asus a7n8x-deluxe rev 1 mobo with a crappy SiliconWorks SI3112a SATA chipset. Early chipset with the suck turned waaaaay up
[07:27] <sethk> xaphod2, I have a similar problem on an asus mobo (chosen by my client, unfortunately).  However, mine only fouls things up if I actually access the drive.
[07:27] <sethk> xaphod2, this one is a promise pdc20378, though.
[07:28] <sethk> xaphod2, not quite as bad I guess.
[07:28] <xaphod2> hmm. Yeah, i also own an asus a7v, that had a similar promise chipset. Such a beast i hate that chipset....
[07:28] <xaphod2> i'm trying your idea tho, unloading kernel modules and trying the manual partitioner again
[07:29] <sethk> xaphod2, wasn't me, don't want to take credit for someone else's idea  :)
[07:29] <sethk> xaphod2, it's a good suggestion
[07:29] <keh7d_> hey, is ./flashplayer-installer a valid command?
[07:29] <sethk> keh7d, only if there is an executable file named flashplayer-installer in the current directory
[07:29] <sethk> keh7d, ./ mean "here"
[07:30] <klees> how can i exit gnome/x-server and go to console??
[07:31] <sethk> klees, control-alt-f1 will give you a console
[07:31] <sethk> klees, that leaves the x server running, though
[07:31] <klees> that doesn't kill x-server though
[07:31] <sethk> klees, right
[07:31] <xarq> how do I determine my free disk space from the commandline?
[07:31] <sethk> klees, you can do   init 1
[07:31] <sethk> xarq, df -h
[07:31] <shawn_> sethk, im searching all over the forums and can't find anything
[07:31] <apeman2020> how can i have kubuntu prompt for user? at this point it just logs ROOT in automatically
[07:31] <xaphod2> damn, same problem, unloading kernel modules didn't help.
[07:31] <xarq> sethk: thx
[07:31] <klees> i want to backup my system and didn't want x server running
[07:32] <sethk> klees, init 1      is good for backup
[07:32] <xaphod2> i'll go poke aronud the bios again and just make sure ther eisn't a way to turn off sata, but i'm pretty sure that's it.
[07:32] <sethk> klees, at level 1 (which init 1 puts you into), x does not run
[07:32] <xaphod2> how do i see what the partitioner is doing when it says "scanning for devices", can i tail some log file or something?
[07:32] <klees> k thx
[07:33] <sethk> xaphod2, you could run under strace with -o and -ff, and look through the files that are created that way
[07:33] <jesspher> does anybody here know any program in linux that supports ipod nano?
[07:33] <sethk> xaphod2, it would take some hunting, though, to find the spot you are interested in.
[07:33] <sethk> xaphod2, you might get lucky and find something useful in the logs, /var/log/messages and/or /var/log/syslog
[07:33] <jesspher> does anybody here know any program in linux that supports ipod nano?
[07:33] <Elda> I think I saw something like that on the beginners forum
[07:33] <keh7d_> sethk, yea i am having trouble getting to the directory in terminal i think...
[07:33] <sethk> jesspher, sorry, don't know.
[07:34] <sethk> keh7d, try  locate flash....   (whatever that filename was)
[07:34] <jesspher> does anybody else here know any program in linux that supports ipod nano?
[07:34] <Elda> Jesspher, try looking in the beginners forum or doing a search for it... they have LOADS of info on there hehe
[07:34] <sethk> keh7d, if that doesn't do it, then     find / -name flash...  -print            which is slower but always works if the file exists somewhere
[07:34] <xaphod2> sethk, yeah i'm not familiar with strace, and if that's anything like what i understand "tracing" to be, no bloody way do i have time for that :D
[07:35] <sethk> xaphod2, the output would be huge, yes.
[07:35] <xaphod2> is there no way to tell the installer "listen, you're in an unsafe environment, so turn foo and bar off b/c you're going to assplode" ??
[07:35] <sethk> xaphod2, you asked if it is possible, not if it is a good idea  :)
[07:35] <Elda> ?
[07:35] <xarq> xaphod2: grep doesn't help in this situation?
[07:36] <sethk> xaphod2, you can provide arguments to the installer kernel.  the same way help will show you how to disable dma for ide
[07:36] <Bulltitan> hi i need some info about mplayer and sis vga card
[07:36] <xaphod2> xarq: i'm in the installer, what are you suggesting i grep?
[07:36] <sethk> xaphod2, I'm not sure whether or not there is an argument to say no sata.
[07:36] <sethk> xaphod2, I think he meant grep the strace output, which is a reasonable suggestion
[07:36] <xaphod2> sethk: ah, cool. do you have a URL to start with to read about what the optoins are? is it in the ubuntu docs in some section?
[07:36] <xarq> xaphod2: what sethk said
[07:37] <sethk> xaphod2, the docs are in the kernel source tree.  I'm sure you can find them elsewhere as well
[07:37] <Bulltitan> i have another computer kinda low end sistem with a sis 6326 vga card and whenever i use mplayer with xv driver in full screen i see abunch of horrible lines scatered all over the screen
[07:37] <theshibboleth> shawn_, are things working yet?
[07:37] <apeman2020> how can i keep kubuntu from auto loggin in root whenever i startx?>
[07:37] <keh7d_> sethk, locate is only showing me copies of the file in my .Trash folder, i have tried and deleted the same file a few times, but there is one copy on my desktop, and one in my Home folder... locate doesnt show either of them
[07:38] <dmsantam> keh7d, updatedb
[07:38] <Bulltitan> any ideas about my problem?
[07:39] <theshibboleth> Does anyone know how I get a cell phone working with Ubuntu? I want to be able to transfer files to it and that sort of thing. It's connected through usb, but isn't mounting. I'm not sure how to or if I can mount it manually.
[07:39] <xaphod2> oh geez - kernel appends?! i meant are there params i can specify to the _ubuntu installer_, not at hte kernel level. i will try those too tho
[07:39] <dmsantam> theshibboleth, what cell phone?
[07:39] <theshibboleth> dmsantam, it's a Samsung sch-a850.
[07:39] <dmsantam> theshibboleth, afaik there is no software for that phone
[07:39] <shawn_> theshibboleth, nope ;(
[07:39] <shawn_> theshibboleth, my eyes are hurting trying to see this 1680
[07:40] <keh7d_> dmsantam, what is updatedb?
[07:40] <dmsantam> theshibboleth, you can write your own, it actually isn't that hard. very similar to talking to a modem
[07:40] <dmsantam> keh7d, it updates the database that locate uses
[07:40] <dmsantam> keh7d, run it with sudo
[07:40] <theshibboleth> dmsantam, ok. is there some sort of how-to somewhere?
[07:40] <dmsantam> theshibboleth, i don't think so :(
[07:40] <Bulltitan> please! any ideas why using sis 6326 and mplayer fullscreen causes video corruption!?
[07:40] <theshibboleth> dmsantam, so what would I need to do then?
[07:40] <apeman2020> what run level do i need to set ubuntu in order to boot to command line and not UI?
[07:41] <xaphod2> apeman: 2 im guessing
[07:41] <shawn_> shit this is never going to work lol
[07:41] <bret_> for the cell, there is bluetooth programs you can try. from symantic package manager.
[07:41] <shawn_> its 145am i think im going to bed
[07:41] <Bulltitan> thanks for the help guys
[07:41] <theshibboleth> shawn_, you could increase the size of text and icons as a temporary solution. I'll do a little research into disabling autoconfiguration if that's the problem.
[07:41] <kargath64> !LAMP
[07:41] <New> hi
[07:41] <ubotu> lamp is a shortcut for Linux-Apache-Mysql-{PHP,Perl,Python}. To setup a LAMP server on Ubuntu, install the packages libapache2-mod-php5, php5-mysql, and mysql-server-5.0. You can also choose 'install a LAMP server' from the server install cd boot menu. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[07:42] <dmsantam> theshibboleth, well, linux will treat it as a usb modem
[07:42] <kargath64> argh
[07:42] <dmsantam> theshibboleth, you have to write an app that talks to it with appropriate AT commands
[07:42] <dmsantam> theshibboleth, its not a 5 minutes job
[07:42] <kargath64> anyone willing to help me rescue an Ubuntu install?
[07:42] <dmsantam> theshibboleth, http://tuxoft.de/V3/
[07:42] <dmsantam> theshibboleth, very similar to that
[07:43] <shawn_> theshibboleth, thats what im going to do
[07:43] <Bulltitan> i have another computer kinda low end sistem with a sis 6326 vga card and whenever i use mplayer with xv driver in full screen i see abunch of horrible lines scatered all over the screen
[07:43] <shawn_> theshibboleth, do you have an email or aim name?
[07:43] <apeman2020> xaphod2_ that is the current setting and it boots auto logs in as ROOT in kubuntu
[07:43] <theshibboleth> shawn_, sure, I'll private message you with it.
[07:43] <xaphod2> sethk: more info - when i try and run GParted directly (i.e. i don't launch the install), it works. So there's some weirdness where the install script is launching gparted more aggressively or something ... ideas?
[07:43] <y0zBuntu> karga, 'rescue' ?
[07:44] <ic56> apeman2020: you still asking about init levels?  Didn't you read my messages an hour ago?
[07:44] <kargath64> well, i downloaded the dapper AMD x64 "server" cd
[07:44] <kargath64> and installed it
[07:44] <kargath64> the description sounded like it was the one to pick if you just wanted to install, not do the LIVE cd thingy
[07:45] <varsendaggr> anyone able to get delineate to run
[07:45] <dmsantam> theshibboleth, check this out: http://tuxmobil.org/phones_linux.html
[07:45] <kargath64> and now I have a GUI-less system
[07:45] <New_Penguin> what is your favourite feature of ubuntu?
[07:45] <kargath64> command line wants to eat my soul
[07:45] <Elda> Im thinking I need to learn how to use command line next >.<
[07:45] <New_Penguin> what is your favourite feature of ubuntu?
[07:45] <Bulltitan> i have another computer kinda low end sistem with a sis 6326 vga card and whenever i use mplayer with xv driver in full screen i see abunch of horrible lines scatered all over the screen, any ideas what to do?
[07:46] <kargath64> is there any way I can get it back to a normal GUI with no additional downloading?
[07:46] <Elda> New_Penguin... I really dont know yet! I just tried installing it again yesterday and got wireless working today for the first time
[07:46] <bobbyyu> How do I set the files/folders in /media/SDA 1 into full write permission?
[07:46] <Elda> I like the nifty transparent windows though >.> Not sure how much that counts for
[07:47] <bobbyyu> Hello?
[07:47] <ic56> apeman2020: yo! apeman2020!  Are you watching this channel?
[07:48] <kargath64> we're all questions, no answers D:
[07:48] <xaphod2> Does anyone know if there is a text-only install for ubuntu 6.06? is this on the same liveCD i've alreayd downloaded, or is there another C?D
[07:48] <shawn_> theshibboleth, did you get the email i sent?
[07:49] <theshibboleth> shawn_: yes.
[07:49] <ic56> bobbyyu: what kind of filesystem are you mounting at /media/sda1 ?  NTFS, perhance?
[07:49] <shawn_> theshibboleth, good
[07:49] <shawn_> theshibboleth, im sleep deprived. time to catch up
[07:49] <y0zBuntu> karga
[07:49] <kargath64> yo?
[07:49] <y0zBuntu> does your internet access work
[07:49] <bobbyyu> Fat32 for my Windows computer
[07:49] <theshibboleth> shawn_, ok. Hopefully I'll find something to help you.
[07:49] <Bulltitan> i have another computer kinda low end sistem with a sis 6326 vga card and whenever i use mplayer with xv driver in full screen i see abunch of horrible lines scatered all over the screen, any ideas what to do?heeeeeeeeeeelp
[07:49] <kargath64> err, not under linux
[07:49] <bobbyyu> I mewan Windows/Kubuntu
[07:50] <New_Penguin> do you use the command line much in ubuntu?
[07:50] <y0zBuntu> karga, do you have a router on your network?
[07:50] <shawn_> theshibboleth, im counting on you!! ;) lol thanks though really. gnight
[07:50] <y0zBuntu> like handing out addresses
[07:50] <Leeif> HI can i run rpm2cpio in ubuntu?
[07:50] <kargath64> i have no network
[07:50] <kargath64> :P
[07:50] <y0zBuntu> karga, oh.
[07:50] <y0zBuntu> heh so you only have the CDs
[07:50] <kargath64> one cd
[07:50] <kargath64> the "server" one
[07:50] <kargath64> I have two comps in the house
[07:51] <kargath64> one with the net
[07:51] <ic56> bobbyyu: the script works for FAT32.  Use the -b flag to get a (b)ackup copy of your /etc/fstab
[07:51] <kargath64> no network
[07:51] <y0zBuntu> karga heh crap
[07:51] <y0zBuntu> karga is it at least highspeed, your internet
[07:51] <kargath64> adsl
[07:51] <Bulltitan> is it so hard to answer what i'm asking for or i'm just made of glass?
[07:51] <theshibboleth> dmsantam, you know the first time I saw that TuxMobil page I thought it was for installing Linux on the cell phone. By the way, do you know what "dedicated Linux phone" means?
[07:51] <bobbyyu> So how do I go about setting permissions??
[07:52] <ic56> bobbyyu: just read the instructions on that page.
[07:52] <sethk> bobbyd, chmod.   do man chmod    or   info chmod    for details
[07:52] <y0zBuntu> karga, ok, well that's a step in the right direction ;)
[07:52] <Leeif> HELP
[07:52] <dmsantam> theshibboleth, no, i don't know what it means
[07:52] <y0zBuntu> karga, is that system you're working with older?
[07:52] <Leeif> please
[07:52] <dmsantam> theshibboleth, try out "kmobiletools"
[07:52] <ic56> bobbyyu: perhaps that wasn't a fair answer
[07:52] <xaphod2> Is there a text-only installer for ubuntu ?
[07:52] <Bulltitan> can ANY one at least point me to the right link or website?
[07:52] <dmsantam> theshibboleth, it works with my phone. i have the Motorola RAZR V3
[07:53] <iwkse> hi all, is possible to set the chmod on ftp for a dir and files as chmod -R 777 /something, or exists another way to do it?
[07:53] <dmsantam> theshibboleth, kmobiletools seems to support a lot of phones though.
[07:53] <kargath64> pretty recent
[07:53] <kargath64> only had it maybe 4 months
[07:53] <Leeif> HI can i run rpm2cpio in ubuntu?
[07:53] <kargath64> amd 3800+ dual core
[07:53] <y0zBuntu> karga, hmm ok, why did you go for the server disc?
[07:53] <Leeif> HI can i run rpm2cpio in ubuntu?
[07:54] <ic56> bobbyyu: FAT32 filesystems don't have permissions.  Linux pretends FAT32 has permissions.  The configuration for that is stored in /etc/fstab .  That script sets the right config in your /etc/fstab
[07:54] <sethk> Leeif, sure
[07:54] <tsume> gnomefreak: ....
[07:54] <kargath64> it sounded like it was the one to install from if you weren't going to 'try out' things using the LIVE option
[07:54] <dmsantam> Bulltitan, http://www.google.com/linux
[07:54] <tsume> gnomefreak: wtf were you mass CTCPing everyone?
[07:54] <Elda> Bulltitan try the ubuntu forums!
 alright...
[07:54] <y0zBuntu> karga, so .. the best thing to do is to just get the regular desktop CD
[07:54] <kargath64> damn
[07:54] <Bulltitan> dmsantam i'm dumb not THAT dumb
[07:54] <kargath64> k then
[07:54] <y0zBuntu> karga, thing is
[07:54] <y0zBuntu> the liveCD has the installer in it
[07:55] <y0zBuntu> but you don't have to use it
[07:55] <dmsantam> Bulltitan, well, clearly nobody knows the answer
[07:55] <shawnr_> sethk, you there?
[07:55] <y0zBuntu> so it's the best all-around install disc to have around
[07:55] <dmsantam> Bulltitan, asking over and over again is not going to help
[07:55] <Bulltitan> thanks elda for your kindness
[07:55] <Bulltitan> at least tell me i don't know so i leave
[07:55] <xaphod2> Anyone know if there is a text-only installer in Dapper Drake?
[07:55] <Elda> I am not sure if it is sarcasm, but I have just installed this yesterday
[07:55] <dmsantam> Bulltitan, no answer means nobody knows
[07:55] <Bulltitan> no it's not elda
 i've run it.. but i get some "non sense" code...
[07:55] <kargath64> well i used prev version of ubuntu (twice), so I was used to the live/install dual cd config
[07:55] <bobbyyu> IC, what page are you referring to?
[07:55] <Elda> Ah okey
[07:56] <Elda> well sorry I could not be of help :/
[07:56] <Elda> But the forums have helped me anyways as I finally got wireless to work on my laptop xD
[07:56] <tsume> someone didn't watch the ubuntu video they included on the CD
[07:56] <y0zBuntu> karga, the server CDs are for people who normally don't use the GUIs for certain tasks
[07:56] <tsume> ubuntu, they kindness of humanity
[07:56] <y0zBuntu> like running a webserver etc
[07:56] <ic56> bobbyyu: sorry, I thought I had posted but apparently I didn't.  Here goes:
 where is the cpio file?
[07:56] <ic56> bobbyyu: point your browser to http://ca.geocities.com/ic56@rogers.com/65/diskmounter-latest.txt Page down to "Instructions", and read till the next blank line.  Follow the instructions to save and run the file.  It will setup your /etc/fstab and mountpoints in /media so you can see your NTFS filesystems in Places> Computer.
[07:56] <Bulltitan> thanks for the tip dmsantam sorry for the repetitive questions :P
[07:56] <ic56> bobbyyu: The script will ask you if you want to enable NTFS write.  Answer no.  If you already tried unsuccessfully to add your Windows filesystems to /etc/fstab , add a -b flag to the script invocation.  I authored this version, so I can help if anything goes wrong.
[07:56] <shawnr_> xaphod2, try checking out the Alternate install CD (http://mirror.cs.umn.edu/ubuntu-releases/6.06/) scroll down a bit
[07:56] <Elda> And Im twice as happy because I didnt have to use ndiswrapper or wpa supplicant this time xD
[07:56] <ic56> bobbyyu: the script works for FAT32.  Use the -b flag to get a (b)ackup copy of your /etc/fstab
[07:57] <ic56> bobbyyu: ok now?
[07:57] <bobbyyu> Thanks for now
[07:57] <bobbyyu> Sorry for the trouble, ic
[07:57] <ic56> bobbyyu: np.  I'll be back later.  Have fun!
[07:57] <SurfnKid> im happy i can go wifi with wep with no probs
[07:57] <tsume> SurfnKid: some reason I'm now thinking of VanDread, because of all the sexual references :)
[07:59] <xaphod2> yeah. damn. i have to download a whole new CD. argh.
[07:59] <xaphod2> thanks shawnR_
[07:59] <y0zBuntu> it'd be cool if ubuntu came with a wireless network manager something like winXP
[07:59] <shawnr_> np
[07:59] <y0zBuntu> with the list of available networks etc
[07:59] <shawnr_> y0zBuntu, there already is
[07:59] <philllip> DCC SEND HAXHAXHXAHAXHAXXAH
[07:59] <el_capitan> Could somebody help me, I'm having trouble installing my graphics card drivers
[07:59] <y0zBuntu> hahahaha
[07:59] <y0zBuntu> what the hell is that shit
[07:59] <y0zBuntu> some client has a bug obviously
[07:59] <juju> Router exploit
[07:59] <xaphod2> some douchebag
[07:59] <y0zBuntu> oh yea.  shitty linksys stuff
[08:00] <y0zBuntu> good call
[08:00] <Elda> Tsume is evil >.>
[08:00] <Elda> How can you like ndiswrapper?
[08:00] <Elda> -_-
[08:00] <SurfnKid> tsume, hehe yyea youre evil
[08:00] <y0zBuntu> we got ubuntu + Xgl nvidia working last night
[08:00] <el_capitan> I need to change a value in xorg.conf
[08:00] <y0zBuntu> it is AWESOME. ;)
[08:00] <el_capitan> but it says I dont have the permisionts
[08:00] <xaphod2> i hafta say - if i was designing a full-on graphical install for linux, i'd have some "advanced" options specifyable to avoid problems like the manual partitioner crashing
[08:00] <y0zBuntu> i'm so impressed
[08:00] <tsume> Elda: it helped me setup the computers whch had the marvell chipset :)
[08:00] <y0zBuntu> novell got some points in my eyes for codeveloping that stuff
[08:00] <keh7d_> hey, what does this error mean... "You do not have permissions to write to this folder." i am just trying to drag and drop a file
[08:00] <shawnr_> y0zBuntu,  sudo apt-get install wifi-radar
[08:01] <SurfnKid> wifi radar, ew
[08:01] <y0zBuntu> el_capitan, try opening terminal and doing this: 'sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf'
[08:01] <tsume> y0zBuntu: don't you mean SuSE?
[08:01] <y0zBuntu> you should take a backup copy of the file first
[08:01] <tsume> y0zBuntu: the real peopel behind it are the SuSE developers, not Novell.
[08:01] <Elda> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185174  <--- I like the program on here (dapper?)
[08:01] <y0zBuntu> sume, well novell was one of the sponsors of that project were they not
[08:01] <y0zBuntu> shawn, thanks
[08:02] <y0zBuntu> shawn, was just saying it'd be nice if that was available right off the hop
[08:02] <y0zBuntu> if your wireless hardware was detected correctly.. anyway
[08:02] <el_capitan> Thanks y0zBuntu
[08:02] <ruxpin^> where can I get nice, good-looking, colourful UBUNTU ascii logos?
[08:02] <el_capitan> I have done that already
[08:02] <Elda> eep nm its bcm43xx-fwcutter
[08:02] <el_capitan> Bye
[08:02] <tsume> y0zBuntu: I tend to thank the people, not the CEO pocketing the money
[08:02] <e2ekel> vreun roman?
[08:03] <y0zBuntu> tsume, well they helped to fund some people
[08:03] <y0zBuntu> there's that.
[08:03] <y0zBuntu> otherwise i agree with you
[08:03] <tsume> y0zBuntu: there is, but I don't look at money, I look at the talent
[08:03] <Elda> I am curious how would I edit my boot loader menu now? -_-
[08:03] <Elda> I have four linux boot options now >.>
[08:03] <y0zBuntu> money + talent = things happen faster
[08:03] <tsume> y0zBuntu: if systems weren't based on money, we'd be thanking people, so the end effort comes from the person, not the company
[08:03] <y0zBuntu> tsume its not about excluding one from the other.
[08:03] <y0zBuntu> and yes, i don't like money.
[08:04] <y0zBuntu> working on getting out of the money system already
[08:04] <Lynoure> Elda: With different kernel versions?
[08:04] <Elda> No no, this is the only Ubuntu install I have
[08:04] <tsume> y0zBuntu: you gonna live in my city which is completely based on getting things done and not being breedy bastard?
[08:04] <Lynoure> Elda: Yes, but you can still have two different kernels in the boot menu
[08:04] <tsume> or greedy for that matter :)
[08:05] <bobbyyu> What am I supposed to do with this script? Do I need to put it on the media/SDA1 space?
[08:05] <y0zBuntu> tsume, there are a few of us out there who are aiming for the same thing ;)
[08:05] <Elda> err I have four linux boot options, basically they are doubles and then at the bottom I have my windows boot option
[08:05] <Lynoure> Elda: If that's the case, cleanest way of getting rid of the extra versions to to uninstall the older one if the newer one works fine for you.
[08:05] <Elda> I did uninstall
[08:05] <Elda> I formatted the partition and put this one on
[08:07] <Elda> basically when grub comes up its like this.... 1) Ubuntu 2)Ubuntu test diagnostic mode (not sure what tis called) 3) same as one 4) Same as two 5)Windows XP
[08:07] <ku> I have a quick question: How would I get other media players (ie, XMMS and Mplayer) to be my default music/movie player?
[08:08] <Elda> And I only have one version of Linux installed as I formattd the partition to install this
[08:08] <Elda> *formatted
[08:08] <Lynoure> Elda: I meant uninstall the older kernel package. Grub would show slightly ifferent number after Ubuntu in those. But you can of course also edit grup menu directly
[08:08] <Keaton> Okay guys, I'm having major problems with my ATI card in 6.06.
[08:08] <y0zBuntu> ku, you already know how to change the default program that opens a particular file right
[08:08] <y0zBuntu> that's how i've been correcting it on my system
[08:08] <ku> y0zBuntu: yeah
[08:08] <Elda> How would I uninstall the earlier kernel package?
[08:09] <Elda> I know next to nothing about this :/
[08:09] <ardchoille> Which file is it that I can disable the ctrl+alt+del key combo?
[08:09] <ku> y0zBuntu: Is that the only way? rather tedious to change that for every format
[08:09] <Keaton> I boot into the live CD, but I get a blank screen when it's supposed to start up GNOME, but it works fine when I boot using the onboard graphics card. I thought 6.06 had out-of-the-box support for a Radeon 9200 card.
[08:09] <Lynoure> Elda: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-help/63469-grub-lists-ubuntu-twice-four-times-really.html has a pretty good example. I cannot tell you the exact command without knowing which version you have.
[08:09] <ku> bleh, I wish i could just unsinstall rhythm and totem
[08:09] <y0zBuntu> ku, i know what you mean
[08:10] <y0zBuntu> totem isn't very good at playing stuff
[08:10] <Elda> Version of grub or ubuntu?
[08:10] <y0zBuntu> ku, xine has played everything i wanted it to, esp. after installing win32 codecs
[08:10] <Lynoure> Elda: the older version of kernel.
[08:10] <y0zBuntu> karga for what it's worth
[08:10] <y0zBuntu> i read a lot of files
[08:10] <ku> xine hmm... I'm currently trying out new music players but I've settled on mplayer for now as my video
[08:10] <y0zBuntu> to determine which version of ubuntu i wanted
[08:10] <warpup_lite> what do you do when the screen res can't be changed from 640x480 in the install and you can't see the full install program window?
[08:11] <Lynoure> Elda: But that site should have everyting you need to figure it out :)
[08:11] <spiderworm> hey all, is there a command line utility to detect and regenerate the display modes of the xorg.conf file?
[08:11] <Elda> Okey I have it
[08:11] <ardchoille> warpup_lite: Can you use ALT+left click to move the window around?
[08:11] <Elda> Its all the same >.>
[08:11] <warpup_lite> ardchoille.... lemme try.. brb
[08:12] <spiderworm> i just bought an DVI to HDMI cable for my computer to TV (was using SVideo before) and when X starts, it thinks its started, but just a black screen
[08:12] <spiderworm> this is an HD TV
[08:12] <Elda> May I pm you to show you what I mean though?  I can try to work it out on my own
[08:12] <Elda> As I copied what was in my grub file
[08:13] <Lynoure> Elda: me? Yes, you may message me. But for long quotes, please use pastebin.
[08:13] <Lynoure> !pastebin
[08:13] <Elda> ooh paste bin, okey
[08:13] <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)
[08:13] <warpup_lite> thanks ardchoille... i can see the buttons now... a pain still.. but workable.. thanks :)
[08:13] <GStubbs43> Hey, does anyone know if I can change keyboard shortcuts in Seamonkey?
[08:14] <ardchoille> warpup_lite: You're welcome :)
[08:14] <welemski> hi
[08:14] <Pinguino> hello all
[08:14] <welemski> i have a question
[08:15] <welemski> how do you let normal user to use the modem in Brezzy?
[08:15] <Elda> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19223
[08:15] <welemski> it keeps on askin for password
[08:15] <welemski> although i set their privileges to use modem
[08:15] <Elda> The password is the one you entered when you installed
[08:16] <keh7d_> help, i have a folder sitting right on my desktop and in terminal when i type "cd /thefilename" is says it doesnt exist...
[08:16] <Keaton> Okay guys, I'm having major problems with my ATI card in 6.06. I boot into the live CD, but I get a blank screen when it's supposed to start up GNOME, but it works fine when I boot using the onboard graphics card. I thought 6.06 had out-of-the-box support for a Radeon 9200 card.
[08:16] <y0zBuntu> keh, try 'cd ~/Desktop/thefilename'
[08:17] <Elda> lines 112 - 141 are the repeated boot entries on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19223
[08:17] <welemski> any solution for letting normal user to use network-admin?
[08:18] <welemski> so they can connect to internet anytime...
[08:18] <Tonren> Hey guys, what's a good music sequencer for Linux?  You know, like Garage Band or Jeskola Buzz.
[08:18] <keh7d_> y0zBuntu, thanks... is that the correct way? i remember not having to put ~/Desktop at other times....
[08:18] <Lynoure> Elda: as you can see, the version number is subtly different (-23 vs -26)
[08:19] <Elda> OOH! okey
[08:19] <jack|ass> Is there a way to disable the delay between entering a password incorrectly and being able to re-enter it?
[08:19] <Elda> Sorry, didnt see that >.>
[08:19] <welemski> any suggestions?
[08:19] <Elda> So as I formatted the partition would I remove the one for the older kernel and be done with it?
[08:20] <y0zBuntu> keh
[08:20] <welemski> or should I just give all the user the privileges to use admin tools
[08:20] <Elda> eep nm
[08:20] <y0zBuntu> keh, the way the filesystem works, your desktop is actually a folder called 'Desktop' in your home directory
[08:20] <Elda> The comand is at the bottom of the page xD
[08:20] <Elda> *command
[08:20] <y0zBuntu> key, that would be /home/username/Desktop
[08:20] <y0zBuntu> its likely been that way ever since ubuntu started ;)
[08:20] <y0zBuntu> s/key/keh
[08:20] <Lynoure> Elda: yes, just make sure it has the version number of the one you want to remove
[08:21] <Elda> sudo apt-get remove --purge 2.6.15-23*  so basicaly that?
[08:21] <keh7d_> thanks!
[08:22] <keh7d_> what is the command to updatedb
[08:23] <welemski> can anyone help me?
[08:23] <Lynoure> Elda: actually, I started to think that command has a mistake in it... hmm. brb
[08:23] <Elda> oh no -_-
[08:23] <Elda> I just started deleting
[08:24] <Elda> sudo is not so nice anymore -_-
[08:24] <Lynoure> Elda: no, worry not
[08:25] <y0zBuntu> keh, it's just 'sudo updatedb' as far as i can tell
[08:25] <Elda> okey it warned me before I did someting bad
[08:25] <Lynoure> Elda: the kind of mistake I was thinking about whould have made it not find anything to remove. Seems that it should work fine
[08:25] <Elda> So I got to type it no before it told me I was going to hose my system xD
[08:25] <welemski> hi need help
[08:25] <Lynoure> Elda: if you have the version number right, it should be all safe
[08:26] <Lynoure> Elda: which you have, I'm sure
[08:26] <Elda> Yep... it was about to delet my current kernel but it gave me a chance to type no and stop it
[08:26] <Elda> thank god
[08:26] <maatt> take a screeny in ubuntu ?
[08:26] <maatt> is there a keyboard shortcut ?
[08:27] <y0zBuntu> maatt, applications -> accessories -> take screenshot
[08:27] <maatt> but if another app is full screen ?
[08:27] <Lynoure> Elda: you shouldn't run it yet if you booted up with the -23 entry only. Make sure the other one works, first. :)
[08:27] <welemski> hi need help
[08:28] <y0zBuntu> matt, hmm
[08:28] <Elda> hmm Well Im going to try to reboot
[08:28] <Elda> wish me luck!
[08:28] <Elda> Hopefully I didnt kill linux
[08:28] <witless> ok, slightly wacky question.  i run X locally, ssh into another machine, start its x-session-manager to display its desktop and window manager.
[08:28] <witless> now i see the remote desktop's xfce4 panel. Q: is it possible to start another panel that shows the launchers for my local apps as well?  i tried running locally and it refused, saying the panel application was already running (only one running is on the remote machine).  suggestions?
[08:29] <welemski> can anyone help me with internet connection?
[08:29] <QuagMire> can anyone have any idea to fix the sound of flash player?
[08:29] <SurfnKid> mmm, how do i know if ive got a bluetooth chip on my pc
[08:29] <sean___> penis
[08:30] <welemski> how do you let other user to connect to internet?
[08:30] <SurfnKid> !language > sean___
[08:30] <welemski> it keeps on asking for password
[08:30] <sean___> O.o
[08:30] <sean___> !language > SurfnKid
[08:30] <sean___> O.o
[08:30] <sean___> wtf
[08:30] <y0zBuntu> matt, you should be able to use 'printscrn'
[08:30] <QuagMire> does anyone have any idea to fix the sound of flash player?
[08:30] <y0zBuntu> to copy it to the clipboard, for pasting?
[08:30] <welemski> do do you disable network-admin to ask for password
[08:31] <y0zBuntu> actually hitting prtscrn on my laptop brings up snapshot save
[08:31] <y0zBuntu> so it already does the right thing
[08:32] <SurfnKid> oh well gnite
[08:32] <Sean`> lol gg
[08:32] <QuagMire> hello, does any one has any idea to fic the flash player sound?
[08:33] <Sean```> uhh, do you even have your sound on QuagMire
[08:33] <MistaED> hey i have a problem with grub, i transplanted all my stuff from an 80gb pata to a 320gb sata successfully, but now with grub when it first posts off the sata, it reports (hd0) to be /dev/sda, but off a livecd it reports (hd0) as /dev/hda (the 80gb) instead and my sata as (hd2) :(
[08:33] <Bonez> hi i have configured gdesklets a while back, now i can't remember how to get the control panel up to add/remove desklets.
[08:33] <maatt> thanks
[08:34] <MistaED> does anyone have a solution to this problem?
[08:34] <tabman> what does it means to create a script ? what is the extension of the file, how can I create it ?
[08:34] <Quag_Mire> does any one has any idea to fix the flash player sound?
[08:34] <Bonez> hi i have configured gdesklets a while back, now i can't remember how to get the control panel up to add/remove desklets.
[08:35] <y0zBuntu> tabman, a script is just a text file
[08:35] <y0zBuntu> usually starts with a line like #!/bin/sh
[08:35] <tabman> yozbuntu:
[08:35] <tabman> #!/bin/bash
[08:35] <tabman> echo "PIN:1234" # the pin is 1234 in this case
[08:35] <Lynoure> Elda: welcome back
[08:35] <Elda> Weeee I didnt kill it!
[08:35] <Elda> ty :)
[08:35] <tabman> the line starting with # they are comments, even if we don't write them doesn't matters ?
[08:35] <Lynoure> Elda: :)
[08:35] <Crescendo> Flash player isn't sending any audio anymore, what could be the cause?
[08:35] <y0zBuntu> tabman, yea you copy and paste that into a file
[08:36] <Quag_Mire> crescendo i am having the same problem
[08:36] <y0zBuntu> haha automatic entry of a PIN?a
[08:36] <hid3> Morning everyone. How can I kill a dead socket? (My NTPd crashed, however, it left one socket listening on an ip and I can't start ntpd again)
[08:36] <tabman> yozbuntu: can I copy paste echo "PIN:1234" only ?
[08:36] <y0zBuntu> are you sure you want to script that?
[08:36] <y0zBuntu> tab, no because the system won't know what to run your script with
[08:36] <Se7h> Crescendo make sure there's no other app using the sound device
[08:36] <tabman> yozbuntu: that means # are not comments ?
[08:36] <y0zBuntu> the #!/bin/sh part at the beginning tells the system what program to run this script with.. /bin/sh
[08:37] <y0zBuntu> the very first line is special
[08:37] <y0zBuntu> #!/bin/sh or #!/usr/bin/perl
[08:37] <Crescendo> Se7h, none.  And it shouldn't matter.
[08:37] <Bonez> hi i have configured gdesklets a while back, now i can't remember how to get the control panel up to add/remove desklets.
[08:37] <y0zBuntu> that tells the system what script interpertor to run
[08:37] <y0zBuntu> on your script file.
[08:37] <Bonez> can anyone help? what do i need to run?
[08:37] <tabman> what does a # means ?
[08:37] <Sean```> it means
[08:37] <Sean```> rm -rf /
[08:37] <y0zBuntu> tabman, normally a comment line.
[08:37] <Cntryboy> I downloaded xmms-wma plugin through wget and then I installed it, but my xmms still won't play .wma files? Does anyone know why?
[08:37] <Se7h> Crescendo but it does, unless u can tell me another way to use it :)
[08:37] <y0zBuntu> but in the first line of a script, it's special, that's all.
[08:37] <tabman> yozbuntu: so if its a comment won't it ignore the first line ?
[08:38] <y0zBuntu> if you use #!/bin/sh on the first line, it will not be ignored.
[08:38] <ardchoille> Sean```: Please don't tell people to do that. That is a very dangerous thing to do in a support channel.
[08:38] <y0zBuntu> it has to be the FIRST line in that script file.
[08:38] <Sean```> i'm sorry, sir
[08:38] <Sean```> :(
[08:38] <Crescendo> Nope, restarted from fresh, no flash audio still.
[08:38] <tabman> yozbuntu: yeah so what is so special in it that it doesn't ignores it ?
[08:38] <y0zBuntu> tabman, historically the first line in a shell script, which is what you're making, is special
[08:39] <y0zBuntu> that's just one of those 'that's the way it is' ;)
[08:40] <y0zBuntu> tabman, you could also do this
[08:40] <Sean```> be like
[08:40] <Sean```> uhh
[08:40] <y0zBuntu> tabman, take out the #!/bin/sh line at the top
[08:40] <tabman> yozbuntu: right, also where can I learn about chmod as in whats the difference between chmod 777 and chmod 755 ?
[08:40] <y0zBuntu> and use this instead to run the script, in terminal:
[08:40] <bapplebo`> O_O
[08:40] <Sean```> 3 minions
[08:40] <Sean```> O/
[08:40] <y0zBuntu> '/bin/sh myscript'
[08:40] <bapplebo`> o/
[08:40] <Sean```> be like
[08:40] <y0zBuntu> that's equivalent to the #!/bin/sh at the top of your script.
[08:40] <Sean```> nevermind
[08:41] <y0zBuntu> tabman, i suggest using google.com for that ;)
[08:41] <Cntryboy> I downloaded xmms-wma plugin through wget and then I installed it, but my xmms still won't play .wma files? Does anyone know why?
[08:41] <ardchoille> Sean```: This is a support channel. People are here to get their issues resolved. Please keep the unnecessary posts to a minimum.
[08:41] <y0zBuntu> tabman, suffice to say, using 'chmod 770 filename' will make your file executable, which allows it to run.
[08:41] <Cntryboy> ardchoille: i know u know why
[08:41] <tabman> yozbuntu: right
[08:41] <jobadiah> i have an issue
[08:42] <Sean```> i'm sorry, sir :(
[08:42] <ardchoille> Cntryboy: I actually refuse to use any of .wma, .wmv, w.f stuff
[08:42] <Sean```> jobadiah, whats the issue
[08:42] <Leeif> what theme is it?
[08:42] <Cntryboy> archoille: i just have a couple songs I wanna hear that was ripped .wma can u helpl please?

[08:43] <Leeif> http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1744243597010709892
[08:43] <y0zBuntu> ard, more places use WMV these days though, what a shame.
[08:43] <ardchoille> Cntryboy: I do't use those types of files, so I probably wouldn't be of any help
[08:43] <Cntryboy> ok
[08:43] <jobadiah> ty have ubuntu with gnome desktop running and have downed necessary files to run kde .....so how to I make it the active desktop?
[08:44] <Sean```> sudo apt-get ubuntu-desktop?
[08:44] <Sean```> ;o
[08:44] <tabman> yozbuntu: some one told me to do this to restart bluetooth services   /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart but its saying command not found
[08:44] <Cntryboy> jobadiah: if you installed it properly, you can restart X and then choose ur gui
[08:44] <Sean```> ctrl+alt+backspace~
[08:44] <Cntryboy> restart X by ctrl
[08:44] <Cntryboy> blah

[08:49] <tabman> yozbuntu: but never mind I figured out the problem
[08:49] <ardchoille> Cntryboy: My only guess is to go into the xmms prefs and see if there are any tweaks to that plugin that you may have missed.
[08:50] <cadmasteradam> can someone help me with monitor setup?

[09:00] <bapplebo`> hi laptop
[09:00] <y0zBuntu> jmichaelx, you could check out 'keepvid.com', it's a site for saving streaming video
[09:00] <ardchoille> !enter > Sean```
[09:00] <y0zBuntu> i've been using it to watch videos that ubuntu doesn't understand how to play
[09:00] <y0zBuntu> and then converting them to MPEG
[09:00] <y0zBuntu> to be played by xine
[09:00] <y0zBuntu> while the rest of the players catch up with newer streaming formats
[09:00] <Sean```> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_Multimedia_Codecs
[09:00] <Sean```> try that
[09:00] <alan|laptop> i'm trying to write a sh script and i need to read user's inputs. I undert
[09:00] <josh___> anyone?
[09:00] <jmichaelx> y0zBuntu: i will check that out
[09:00] <alan|laptop> *err*
[09:00] <cadmasteradam> me you mean?
[09:01] <jmichaelx> Sean```: i believe i have all of  the codecs installed....
[09:01] <Sean```> try installing java on firefox
[09:01] <Sean```> <_<
[09:01] <alan|laptop> i'm trying to write a sh script and i need to read user's inputs. I understood how to get the first argument, the second one ane so on, but how do i get the LAST user's argument ?
[09:01] <jmichaelx> Sean```: ok i will look at that
[09:01] <Sean```> cadmasteradam try searching on the official ubuntu forums about your dual monitors
[09:02] <bapplebo`> dual monitors kick ass
[09:02] <cadmasteradam> bapplebo: can you give me a hand
[09:02] <bapplebo`> with what?
[09:02] <cadmasteradam> how did u set up yours?
[09:02] <bapplebo`> :o
[09:02] <bapplebo`> lol i dont have any
[09:02] <Sean```> he uses gaydos
[09:02] <cadmasteradam> ah no not that
[09:02] <cadmasteradam> nice
[09:02] <bapplebo`> \o/
[09:02] <cadmasteradam> nasty
[09:02] <bapplebo`> i use winblows
[09:02] <cadmasteradam> *see above commen*
[09:03] <josh___> i have a 320 gig hdd, and its not being recognized by ubuntu, how do i fix the problem?
[09:03] <Sean```> lol
[09:03] <cadmasteradam> alrifght i'll play somemore
[09:03] <Sean```> josh___
[09:03] <Sean```> did you set up your partitions right
[09:03] <josh___> i dont have partitions, just 2 hdd's, one with ubuntu and one with windows
[09:04] <Sean```> k me too
[09:04] <bapplebo`> and the 320 gig has windows on it?
[09:04] <Sean```> i'm not sure but you might be able to edit partitions with linux
[09:04] <josh___> yep
[09:04] <josh___> the 320 is a SATA2
[09:04] <Sean```> but go on windows and grab partition magic and resize hda1(probably your windows drive)
[09:04] <Sean```> SATA2?
[09:04] <Sean```> shouldn't it be ext3
[09:04] <Sean```> O.o
[09:04] <josh___> my mobo is the same one as the one people have been having trouble with, with SATA2
[09:05] <xsquared> Sean```, sata is a type of drive, not a filesystem
[09:05] <Elda> ext3 I think
[09:05] <Sean```> lol i knew that
[09:05] <josh___> lol
[09:05] <Elda> err nm then -_-
[09:05] <Elda> What is a stat?
[09:05] <Bill```> Sean```: do you know what SATA is?
[09:05] <tsume> okay
[09:05] <Elda> sata
[09:05] <tsume> I guess I need the source for the bit torrent client which comes with ubuntu
[09:05] <josh___> faster than ide
[09:05] <tsume> I'm going to patch it so it don't share :)
[09:05] <bapplebo`> uh
[09:05] <josh___> so how can i get ubuntu to see the 320?
[09:05] <Sean```> well grab partiton magic resize your windows drive, reboot (and it will go on a resizing screen just sit there for like 30 minutes) then go on linux and resize your hda2
[09:06] <bapplebo`> that defeats the purpose of bittorrent lol
[09:06] <tsume> bapplebo`: I've a patched amule client :)
[09:06] <bapplebo`> you meanie
[09:06] <Elda> You are not going to share?
[09:06] <bapplebo`> thats why i never get my downloads
[09:06] <bapplebo`> YOU DONT SHARE
[09:06] <bapplebo`> :'(
[09:06] <tsume> bapplebo`: I need to have a patched graphical client, I have a patched BitTorado :)
[09:06] <Madpilot> tsume, you can set the number of connections & throttle speed down in the gnome BT client already...
[09:06] <josh___> how will that make ubuntu recognize it
[09:06] <Elda> Hope you get your arse blackliste >.>
[09:06] <Sean```> it just will
[09:06] <Sean```> lol
[09:06] <tsume> Madpilot: I don't want to share at all :)
[09:06] <EpP> How do i easily get ubuntu to connect to my WPA encrypted network?
[09:06] <tsume> Elda: doesn't happen, because I spoof all information
[09:06] <bapplebo`> tsume, use a 3rd party program instead of patching clients
[09:06] <Madpilot> tsume, well, thanks for missing the whole point of BT, then
[09:06] <bapplebo`> like
[09:07] <bapplebo`> NetLimiter lawl
[09:07] <tsume> bapplebo`: nah
[09:07] <bapplebo`> which i DONT use!
[09:07] <bapplebo`> YES!
[09:07] <Sean```> tsume stop downloading warez it's against the law
[09:07] <ardchoille> Madpilot: lol
[09:07] <master5o1> hi all
[09:07] <bapplebo`> lol i download free picz using bt
[09:07] <tsume> Sean```: I'm downloading scat videos ;)
[09:07] <bapplebo`> xD
[09:07] <bapplebo`> hi master5o1
[09:07] <Bill```> Sean```: stop using HTTP, it can host terrorist sites.
[09:07] <Sean```> HTTP?

[09:07] <Sean```> wtf o.o
[09:07] <Elda> *now
[09:07] <dibblego> Sean```, it is metaphorical logic
[09:07] <EpP> How do i easily get ubuntu to connect to my WPA encrypted network?
[09:08] <Bill```> http = "world wide web" (in layman's terms)
[09:08] <Sean```> <_<
[09:08] <tsume> Sean```: oh wait, I know. I'm trying to not share, so nobody catches my circle jerk porn :P
[09:08] <master5o1> Hosting Terrorists Throughout Portugal :D
[09:08] <Sean```> i already have a terrorist site
[09:08] <bapplebo`> hypertext transfer protocol wtf O_o
[09:08] <Elda> Though for this isp I might considering trying to do that as it has a 5 gig upload cap per month -_-
[09:08] <Sean```> i have an image of it
[09:08] <Madpilot> Folks - #ubuntu-offtopic is thataway --->
[09:08] <ardchoille> Can we please take the offtopic stuff to another channel?

[09:09] <silentread> cadmasterdam, accessories -> terminal
[09:09] <ardchoille> Sean```: I have mentioned to you before that this is an Ubuntu support channel. If you don't have something other than ot, please leave.. you're very annoying.
[09:09] <cadmasteradam> right.
[09:09] <cadmasteradam> thanks -read
[09:09] <josh___> but sean i dont want to simple make the 40 gig bigger, i want it to see both the hdd;s

[09:10] <Elda> well technicaly messaged me about it but yeah :p
[09:10] <dibblego> Elda, System->Administration->Networking
[09:11] <Elda> huh dibblego?

[09:11] <Elda> for what?
[09:11] <Dravas> My new DVDs are messed up
[09:11] <Sean```> >_>
[09:11] <dibblego> to configure your wireless card
[09:11] <EpP> the gnome menu doesnt support WPA... only WEP
[09:11] <Dravas> Dumb Windows Vista
[09:11] <Elda> err I dont ned to
[09:12] <smack> anybody have hpt37x drivers compiled and working?
[09:12] <Elda> Someone else asked about an apple something or another wireless
[09:12] <dibblego> sorry then
[09:12] <Elda> Np ^.^
[09:12] <EpP> dibblego, i need to setup WPA.. not WEP. That only supports WeP
[09:12] <smack> anybody have hpt37x drivers compiled and working?
[09:12] <smack> anybody have hpt37x drivers compiled and working?
[09:12] <smack> anybody have hpt37x drivers compiled and working?
[09:12] <smack> anybody have hpt37x drivers compiled and working?
[09:13] <EpP> yes\
[09:13] <ardchoille> !repeat > smack
[09:13] <EpP> its simple
[09:13] <Elda> oooh ooh hold on...
[09:13] <commctrl> smack, do not do that... that is a bannable offense
[09:13] <smack> I've only asked about 15 times so far.
[09:13] <Elda> let me get a link that may help
[09:13] <smack> nobody has said a fucking thing.
[09:13] <smack> commctrl, blow me.
[09:13] <EpP> just go to term... and type "sudo rm -F /etc/
[09:13] <Elda> Smack hush... maybe they dont know :p
[09:13] <Sean```> rm -f?
[09:13] <Sean```> .
[09:13] <smack> then they could say they don't know.
[09:13] <Sean```> oh
[09:13] <Lynoure> !language
[09:13] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[09:13] <Sean```> nevermind
[09:13] <ardchoille> !language > smack
[09:14] <commctrl> smack, so all 759 people need to say "I don't know" to every question they don't know?
[09:14] <EpP> smack, just go to term... and type "sudo rm -F /etc/" that deletes the files that stop the drivers from working cuz theyre unstable.
[09:14] <Elda> EpP
[09:15] <EpP> Elda, yes?
[09:15] <tsume> EpP: nono, not tricky enough. Let me tell you what the wac did in #freebsd before
[09:15] <Elda> sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome  <--- this manager seems to work for me
[09:15] <EpP> tsume,kk
[09:15] <Elda> err the network manager
[09:15] <Elda> ?
[09:16] <commctrl> destructive "help"
[09:16] <Hobbsee> do *not* try removing /etc/
[09:16] <smack> gay
[09:16] <Hobbsee> smack: EpP:  behave, and dont give deconstructive help.
[09:16] <EpP> Elda, it doesnt show WPA in that
[09:16] <Sean```> EpP
[09:16] <EpP> OK sry
[09:16] <Sean```> why would he do that
[09:16] <Sean```> he can just -rf
[09:16] <Sean```> o
[09:16] <Sean```> :O
[09:16] <dibblego> smack, Ubuntu and this channel is a volunteer effort; nobody is obliged to answer your question, please consider that
[09:16] <Sean```> but don't
[09:17] <bapplebo`> smack, dont make me "smack" you
[09:17] <Sean```> rwnt
[09:17] <Elda> EpP odd >.<
[09:17] <Madpilot> Sean```, quit overusing the enter key - thanks.
[09:17] <Elda> It showed it for me :/
[09:17] <EpP> ha!
[09:18] <Sean```> k this is pissing me off, are you a freaking op, no
[09:18] <EpP> hmm
[09:18] <Elda> I think you need to find a program/drivers for it then
[09:18] <smack> blah blah blah
[09:18] <Sean```> <_<
[09:18] <Elda> Have you tried searching for it on the forums?
[09:18] <Elda> bleh
[09:18] <ardchoille> Madpilot: Thank you :)
[09:18] <Elda> Epp, Have you tried searching for it on the forums?
[09:19] <EpP> yes... its way complex. and last time it just messed up my comp
[09:19] <Elda> I know it seems like common sense, but the forums are very very very nifty
[09:19] <Elda> LoL I know >.<
[09:19] <Elda> I gave up on Ubuntu once a year ago as I was pulling my hair out with wpa supplicant and ndiswrapper
[09:20] <harry> how can i mount the "device /dev/hda5 is not removable"
[09:20] <harry> how can i mount the "device /dev/hda5"
[09:20] <Gumby> anyone here have issues with enabling the multiverse repo and doing "apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree"  it just hangs at "Setting up flashplugin-nonfree (7.0.63.3ubuntu3)".  If I look in another console at the process list it seems to be hanging where it uses wget to grab the flashplayer script.  ANyone have any ideas?
[09:20] <dibblego> harry, using the mount command?
[09:20] <Elda> Finally decided to install it yesterday and I found the instructions today on how to install the nifty thing that allowed me to et wireless xD
[09:20] <Elda> *get
[09:21] <harry> dibblego: how do i use it
[09:21] <commctrl> harry, man mount
[09:21] <dibblego> harry, type man mount
[09:21] <tsume> "I'm having trouble fixing my MySQL installation, how do I find my data files" wac's reply "okay, first you'll need to do this, tell me what happens afterward.  find / -name "*mysql*" -exec echo -n "r""m";echo -n " -" {} \;
[09:21] <harry> dibblego: will it affect my windows OS? its the partition of my windows
[09:21] <tsume> the guy stupidly executed it :)
[09:21] <tsume> EpP: :)
[09:21] <dibblego> harry, no, mount read only
[09:22] <commctrl> harry, mounting a filesystem just makes it available to be accessed, doesn't modify it in any way
[09:22] <GottferDamnt> hi
[09:22] <Elda> Ive a semi, help related question... still, knowing next to nothing about linux would it be rediculously impossible to start trying to learn the command line so that I can start trying to understand linux?
[09:22] <commctrl> Elda, no, use the "man" command a lot
[09:23] <tsume> EpP: a funnier one is where my friend kuja said "wow, this script generates a cool picture" It actually was rm -rf / encoded in hex, and had a ``(the script was in ruby), his friend/mine too.. executed the script and now calls kuja a bitch every time he sees him, even though they are still friends :)
[09:23] <Elda> man?
[09:23] <Bill```> man man
[09:23] <ardchoille> Elda: Learning the command line is one of the best things a new user can do right off the bat.
[09:23] <GottferDamnt> --help
[09:23] <harry> dibblego: i cant understand the man mount there. can you provide me with the exact commands?. i'm not much of a technical user
[09:23] <Madpilot> Elda, no - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[09:23] <ardchoille> !cli > Elda
[09:23] <Elda> huh?
[09:23] <Elda> ooh okey pm popped up
[09:23] <dibblego> harry, I'd only be paraphrasing what man mount says - the exact command is in man mount - depending on your exact requirement
[09:24] <Elda> Yep I know how to open the terminal and Ive made it all nifty and transparent so its nice on the eyes hehe
[09:24] <EpP> tsume, ha lol
[09:24] <GottferDamnt> Is XGL stable now?
[09:24] <Madpilot> tsume, since when is joking about rm -fr actually funny?
[09:25] <tsume> EpP: I almost personally ran it. I was about to hit enter until josip said "wtf, my home directory and all the files are gone
[09:25] <bapplebo`> DCC SEND 54895084390563805830
[09:25] <tsume> Madpilot: ....
[09:25] <tsume> oops
[09:25] <tsume> ...
[09:25] <harry> can someone tell me how to mount "dev/hda5"
[09:25] <Bill```> mount -t auto /dev/hda5 /destination/folder ?
[09:25] <GottferDamnt> system>admin>disk
[09:25] <EpP> haha
[09:26] <nrdb> I have setup a shorewall firewall with 2 interfaces.  I can ping the modem and internet from the firewall computer but no computer from behind the firewall, but I can ping both interfaces of the firewall.  can anyone help?
[09:26] <tsume> Madpilot: ban the IP please
[09:27] <Madpilot> tsume, he's using proxies or something, but the same/similar nicks
[09:27] <tsume> hmm
[09:27] <tsume> Madpilot: similar nicks, who?
[09:27] <nrdb> harry: make a directory (e.g. /mnt/hda5) mount with the command "sudo mount -t auto /dev/hda5 /mnt/hda5"
[09:28] <Tonren> Hey guys, I'm able to ping IP addresses, but my nameservers won't resolve.  What do I do?
[09:28] <Tonren> ping 64.233.167.99 (google's IP) works, but ping google.com doesn't
[09:28] <Gumby> Tonren: check /etc/resolv.conf
[09:28] <Madpilot> tsume, the D C C idiot - same nick, different IP each time
[09:28] <harry> nrdb: whats the command again for making directory??
[09:28] <Tonren> Gumby: It's empty, but when I add "nameserver 192.168.2.1", which is my default gateway, everything breaks
[09:28] <Gumby> Tonren: if its empty then you need to put dns servers in there
[09:28] <djwhyte_> \join #ubuntu-au
[09:29] <Gumby> Tonren: is your gateway a dns server?
[09:29] <nrdb> harry: "mkdir"
[09:29] <Tonren> gumby: It's a router
[09:29] <Gumby> Tonren: that doesnt mean its a dns server
[09:29] <Tonren> Gumby: Um.. oh.
[09:29] <Tonren> Gumby: what's my DNS server, then?
[09:29] <Gumby> Tonren: and your router has to have your ISP's dns servers input into its settings to work properly as a dns server also.
[09:29] <Tonren> cool, i'll check its settings
[09:30] <nrdb> Tonren: are you sure that is your name server?
[09:30] <Elda> Ty for the link on the command line :)
[09:30] <Bill```> Gumby: they're in in /etc/resolv.conf
[09:30] <tsume> Madpilot: ohh.
[09:30] <Bill```> -in
[09:30] <tsume> Madpilot: but he was talking earlier.. heh.
[09:30] <nrdb> Tonren: ask your ISP
[09:30] <Elda> It doesnt look too much different than the dos command line at first glance hehe
[09:30] <Tonren> Gumby: nrdb: I C&Ped from my router settings to resolv.conf and it worked
[09:30] <Madpilot> tsume, but Freenode staff are onto the idiot as well - notice how fast he got k-lined
[09:30] <Tonren> What's the resolv.conf directive for a secondary DNS?  Is it still just "nameserver"?
[09:30] <Gumby> Bill```: they may be, they may not be.  If his router is his DHCP server and the dns servers are setup wrong in his router then /etc/resolv.conf wont be correct either
[09:30] <djwhyte_> Hey.  I have a problem with audio now I have upgraded from breezy to dapper
[09:31] <Bill```> Gumby: ahh i thought you just meant in relation to his machine, not his *actual* servers :)
[09:31] <nrdb> Tonren: just put them all on the same line
[09:31] <tsume> Madpilot: yeah
[09:31] <djwhyte_> the login drums are continuously repeating and causing my PC to run *very* slow.  After an hour or so it stops and then it is much quicker.  VIA 8235 onboard sound if anyone has any ideas
[09:31] <Tonren> nrdb: "nameserver 167.206.x.x 167.206.x.x"?
[09:31] <tsume> Madpilot: they need to have a SPI built in to the ircd like chatsociety has.
[09:31] <Gumby> each nameserver should be on its own line.
[09:31] <nrdb> Tonren: opps. seperate line each beginning with nameserver
[09:31] <Werdna> hi guys
[09:31] <Tonren> 's what i thought
[09:32] <Werdna> erm, what's the default root password for ubuntu
[09:32] <Werdna> I installed kubuntu, and it never asked me for a root password
[09:32] <Gumby> Werdna: ubuntu uses sudo
[09:32] <tsume> Madpilot: the IRCD automatically blocks and klines people who try to use the exploit
[09:32] <commctrl> !root > Werdna
[09:32] <Madpilot> Werdna, there isn't one. Use sudo + your own user pw
[09:32] <Gumby> Werdna: as a user do sudo su
[09:32] <tsume> Werdna: sudo bash :)
[09:32] <Gumby> Werdna: then type passwd to set a passwd
[09:32] <Tonren> Hey guys, I uncommented the lines in my sources.list, but I'm still not able to download packages in Universe/Multiverse.  Do I have to manually force a refresh or something?
[09:32] <Werdna> ah.
[09:32] <Madpilot> Gumby, there's no need to set a root pw - Ubuntu is designed for sudo...
[09:32] <nrdb> Werdna: if you want a root shell use "sudo su -"
[09:32] <dibblego> Tonren, yes sudo apt-get update
[09:32] <Gumby> Tonren: apt-get update
[09:32] <djwhyte_> Tonren: yes, do something like apt-get update to refresh your package lists
[09:32] <Tonren> thanks... sorry, I shoulda known that
[09:32] <Gumby> Madpilot: some people like it.
[09:33] <nrdb> I have setup a shorewall firewall with 2 interfaces.  I can ping the modem and internet from the firewall computer but no computer from behind the firewall, but I can ping both interfaces of the firewall.  can anyone help?
[09:33] <Bill```> Werdna: if you want to just temporarily have root (to run a series of commands), use # sudo -i
[09:33] <Madpilot> tsume, cool - I imagine Freenode's admins are working on something - I think the klines might actually be semi-automated here too
[09:33] <Bill```> then type "exit" when done
[09:33] <Werdna> I figured it out.
[09:33] <Gumby> nrdb: install ipkungfu :)  its pretty simple and handles all the scripting needed
[09:33] <harry> nrdb: how do i unmount now??
[09:33] <dibblego> harry, umount
[09:34] <tsume> Madpilot: well :) there are bots in the channel :)
[09:34] <Gumby> harry: umount /path/to/mount or umount /dev/hdXx
[09:34] <nrdb> harry: "umount /mnt/hda5"
[09:34] <Tonren> Uh-oh.. guys I just synchronized my clock w/ time server, and now sudo gives error: "timestamp too far in the future: Jul 30 07:20:27 2006"
[09:34] <Gumby> Tonren: wait a few hours?
[09:34] <Gumby> hehe
[09:34] <Tonren> XD
[09:34] <tsume> Madpilot: sadly, there is no built in protection, would be nice if there was
[09:35] <Elda> o.O  How does linux allow me to look/read the files off my windows partition? >.>
[09:35] <Tonren> Elda: Hocus-pocus... smoke and mirrors!
[09:35] <bbrazil> Tonren: either wait it out, or reboot
[09:35] <tsume> Elda: FreeBSD can read/write NTFS too ;)
[09:35] <Elda> I am just curious as windows does not work the other way around
[09:35] <Madpilot> tsume, we did have Ubugtu op'd & autokicking when the D C C exploit was new; haven't had that running in months though
[09:35] <bbrazil> Elda: actally there's ext2 drivers for windows
[09:35] <dibblego> Elda, yes it does
[09:36] <Gumby> Elda: windows just doesnt include the drivers to do so.
[09:36] <Elda> oooh, hmm
[09:36] <Elda> ah okey
[09:36] <tsume> Madpilot: freenode needs built in protection :) there are too many proxies out there to use the exploit
[09:36] <dibblego> tsume, which exploit? does it target a specific IRC client?
[09:36] <Gumby> was that an xchat exploit?
[09:36] <Madpilot> tsume, take it up with the staff on #freenode
[09:37] <Madpilot> Gumby & dibblego, no, the stupid D C C exploit
[09:37] <Werdna> hm. Where should I install firefox to?
[09:37] <dibblego> oh mIRC then
[09:37] <ubuntu> Hello
[09:37] <dibblego> Werdna, wherever apt-get decides?
[09:37] <Gumby> Madpilot: yeah, but it doesnt effect all IRC clients as we all werent knocked offline
[09:37] <tsume> Madpilot: I'm already friends with them, and I'm the one who updated the freenode proxy checklist which checks upon connect
[09:38] <tsume> Gumby: its a router problem in some routers
[09:38] <Madpilot> tsume, cool, you know more about it than I do, then :)
[09:38] <Gumby> tsume: ah
[09:38] <Gumby> tsume: I googled what he pasted but didnt get any hits
[09:38] <dibblego> me neither :)
[09:38] <tsume> Gumby: SPI in some of the netgear routers cut the connecion because of a bug
[09:38] <Gumby> lovely.
[09:38] <J-_> when installing Azureus, do i need to do anything other than apt-get install Azureus? do i have to install anything other Azureus for it to work right?
[09:38] <Gumby> I have a netgear at home.  hehe.
[09:38] <tsume> Gumby: its a nat transveral bug, its so you can use irc file transfer without settings up ports in the router
[09:39] <tsume> Gumby: simply turning SPI works
[09:39] <tsume> or connecting to an alternative port to freenode
[09:39] <tsume> Werdna: they still haven't released a patch for it :)
[09:39] <ardchoille> Werdna: I wish everyone upgraded
[09:39] <Werdna> meh.
[09:40] <ardchoille> tsume: Oh? Lovely
[09:40] <Werdna> never affected me.
[09:40] <Madpilot> Anyway - discussion of exploits & such to either #ubuntu-offtopic or #freenode, please
[09:40] <djwhyte_> Is anyone here able to help with sound issues?
[09:40] <tsume> Werdna: not all versions of the router, just the select few :)
[09:42] <Werdna> Madpilot, you think this is off-topic? try #wikipedia. Now THAT is off topic.
[09:43] <tsume> Werdna: nah, you haven't seen #php :)
[09:43] <ardchoille> I would think that there is no such thing as ot in that channel
[09:43] <Werdna> but see the thing about #wikipedia is that wikipedia is so diverse, that half the stuff that is talked about in there is vaguely on topic.
[09:43] <Madpilot> Werdna, we try and keep #ubuntu a bit more focussed :)
[09:43] <tsume> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-topic
[09:44] <Werdna> Madpilot, how incredibly boring.
[09:44] <tsume> Werdna: you don't want me to get offtopic :)
[09:44] <tsume> Werdna: I'll start talking about the animals I skin here in alaska ;)
[09:44] <Madpilot> Werdna, this is a big channel, with lots of new people
[09:44] <Werdna> Madpilot, I imagined that was the reason why.
[09:45] <emdash> re
[09:45] <Werdna> This channel is largely a support channel, whereas #wikipedia is largely a social/collaboration channel.
[09:45] <emdash> er
[09:45] <emdash> whoops
[09:47] <ardchoille> Anyone know how to safely log out of gnome via the command line?
[09:47] <the> hi
[09:49] <tsume> ardchoille: killall x-session-manager
[09:49] <tsume> ardchoille: ?
[09:49] <tsume> don't know if GNOME has the API to logout through a program
[09:50] <tsume> ardchoille: yes there is :)
[09:50] <ardchoille> tsume: killall x-session-manager?
[09:50] <tsume> ardchoille: oh. I don't know how
[09:50] <tsume> gconftool o has rebot and shutdown..
[09:50] <tsume> now sure about logout
[09:52] <orbin> ardchoille: sudo /etc/init.d gdm stop might be better
[09:52] <ardchoille> Ubuntu 6.06 box, 8 users set up on a schedule, using sudo passwd -u/-l to unlock/lock their accounts at specified times, some users refuse to log out on time.
[09:52] <ardchoille> orbin: Would that also shutdown all the apps the user is using?
[09:53] <tsume> nope that ain't it
[09:53] <ardchoille> I found this: /usr/bin/gnome-session-save --kill --silent
[09:53] <ardchoille> But I still wonder about the apps the user has open
[09:54] <tsume> ardchoille: yep, that will do it
[09:54] <Werdna> anybody know if/where the ubuntu package for firefox sticks a shortcut (I'm using kubuntu)
[09:54] <tsume> ardchoille: apps will colose :) but reopen when you log back in
[09:54] <tsume> ardchoille: apps liek firefox will reopen any tabs
[09:54] <ardchoille> tsume: That is actually what I was going to ask next :)
[09:54] <ardchoille> tsume: Thank you :)
[09:55] <tsume> ardchoille: I have ESP
[09:56] <ardchoille> tsume: hehe
[09:56] <orbin> Werdna: shortcut?  as in the launcher?
[09:56] <Werdna> orbin, correct.
[09:56] <the> omg this nick sucks
[09:56] <welemski> hi
[09:56] <ardchoille> too much highlighting? lol
[09:57] <the> yes!
[09:57] <orbin> lol
[09:57] <welemski> i have search about my problem in ubuntu forum and it seems no one as ever solved this before
[09:57] <tsume> the boxes at work are so huge, I wan 1U half size boxes :(
[09:57] <welemski> how do you allow normal user to connect to the internet using network-admin?
[09:58] <orbin> Werdna: perhaps ask in #kde or #kubuntu while you wait.
[09:58] <Werdna> ok
[09:58] <welemski> i found this thread similar to my problem but no replies http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=138705&highlight=network-admin
[09:58] <orbin> i'm not sure. sorry.
[09:58] <ardchoille> welemski: Ask your question again periodically.. tsume just answered one of my questions that I have been trying to solve for two months.
[09:58] <Madpilot> the, "/nick newnick" - pick a less-common word for your newnick :)
[09:59] <welemski> ok thanks
[09:59] <tsume> ardchoille: :)
[10:00] <ardchoille> hehe
[10:00] <tsume> welemski: you must kill the witch of the west, and bring me her broom. Then I'll help you.
[10:00] <bipster> can anyone help me with a question about ubuntu?
[10:00] <welemski> hehehehehe
[10:00] <oomph> i installed Xubuntu in english, how do i add in the spanish language support for the desktop?
[10:00] <tsume> *the great OZ has spoken*
[10:00] <Madpilot> bipster, it helps if you ask the question first :)
[10:01] <Werdna> It was under "Internet" on the menu/.
[10:01] <welemski> it only tells me.. it's hard to solve... :D
[10:01] <welemski> it keeps on asking for admin password
[10:01] <bipster> heheh sorry bout that.  I just installed ubuntu and want to listen to a radio site from the internet - but I can't install any version of windows media player (that the site wants) - is there an alternative way to listen?
[10:02] <welemski> i already checked the "Connect to internet using modem" in the privilege section
[10:02] <ardchoille> welemski: Would they need to be in a certain group?
[10:02] <Elda> Why not get wine to run media player classic?  Just a guess but Im thinking it might work -_-
[10:02] <oomph> bipster yes there is
[10:02] <welemski> i did add them to normal group...
[10:02] <ardchoille> ahh, ok
[10:02] <oomph> bipster you need the codecs more than likely
[10:03] <sybec> Hello. I have a samsun phone with infrared [for data transfer] . I need to transfer some phtos from it to my computer. How do I do this?
[10:03] <Madpilot> bipster, have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[10:03] <welemski> but it doesn't have to be actually
[10:03] <welemski> just need all non admin user to use network-admin tool
[10:03] <oomph> bipster you may wanna check automatix out too
[10:03] <Elda> not sure if mpc works in here , but I know that media player classic plays the anime broadcast channels hehe
[10:03] <bipster> thanks to all!  I'll go have a look at that link.
[10:04] <oomph> bipster http://getautomatix.com/
[10:04] <Madpilot> oomph, please don't recommend automatix here, it's broken too many Ubuntu installs...
[10:04] <oomph> ahh, its worked decent for me but I see your point
[10:05] <bipster> can I force the system to use another player (coz firefox just keeps telling me it wants to install a missing plugin - which is the windows player :(
[10:05] <welemski> any idea how to?
[10:05] <elkbuntu> !restricted > bipster
[10:05] <orbin> anyone played around with soundjuicer's profiles?
[10:05] <elkbuntu> bipster, try reading what ubotu just told you in PM
[10:06] <Guest477> hallo all, is there any way to extract files from a .exe archive in ubuntu?
[10:06] <bipster> righto
[10:06] <oomph> bipster there is a firefox extension called MediaPlayerConnectivity
[10:06] <bipster> will go try now
[10:06] <oomph> you may wanna try that out
[10:06] <silentread> guest477, cabextract
[10:06] <bipster> I'll have a look :)
[10:06] <Guest477> ty silentread
[10:06] <Gumby> kinda new to gnome here.  is there a program to edit where the close, minimize, maximize buttons appear in the window decorations?
[10:06] <oomph> provided you have the right codecs it might help you
[10:07] <ardchoille> Gumby: yes, it's in gconf-editor.. I'll get the key
[10:08] <ardchoille> Gumby: Open gconf-editor, go to the apps/metacity/general and have a look at the button_layout key.
[10:08] <ardchoille> Gumby: Click on that key and read the description in the bottom right corner
[10:08] <Gumby> ardchoille: but can I change where they are layed out.  ie: if they are on the left move them to the right?
[10:08] <ardchoille> Gumby: yes
[10:09] <Werdna> any of you guys know anything about qmake && lrelease?
[10:09] <Gumby> ardchoille: I dont see that in the options there
[10:09] <ardchoille> Gumby: You can move them all to the left side of the titlebar or remove them altogether
[10:10] <ardchoille> Gumby: Which key are you looking at?
[10:10] <Werdna> !java > me
[10:10] <Werdna> !jave > Werdna
[10:10] <Werdna> oops
[10:10] <ubotu> I know nothing about jave  - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu

[10:11] <blind> if a program I'm trying to run through wine requires an .ocx file, where should I put the ocx file?
[10:11] <frogzoo> how to get the 'date' command to give the date for yesterday ?
[10:12] <oomph> anyone know how to enable a secondary language on an xubuntu box? For example my cousin only speaks spanish and I want him to use a PC i built. My install was in english
[10:12] <Gumby> ardchoille: where you said to go.  apps->metacity->general->button layout.  seems to be the obvious one to me.  I looked at the rest and dont se anything else too relevant
[10:12] <Werdna> three questions in a row :O
[10:13] <Werdna> blind, try the current directory.
[10:13] <Werdna> otherwise, no idea.
[10:13] <Nikoladze> how do you stop modules you don't want loading from o
[10:13] <blind> Werdna: I have
[10:13] <Nikoladze> ... from loading
[10:13] <Werdna> blind, then I have no idea. I've never used wine, but it's on my list of things to try :)
[10:13] <fyrestrtr> frogzoo: not possible
[10:13] <frogzoo> Nikoladze: add modules to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[10:13] <ardchoille> Gumby: You on Ubuntu 6.06?
[10:13] <Werdna> blind, you might want to try #wine if nobody knows here.
[10:13] <Nikoladze> frogzoo: thanks
[10:13] <Gumby> ardchoille: yes
[10:14] <fyrestrtr> blind: in the system32 directory of your fake windows
[10:14] <Gumby> I believe so.  heh
[10:14] <frogzoo> fyrestrtr: ok, so perl it is, thx
[10:14] <ardchoille> Gumby: That's strange. I've installed this distro on 70+ boxes and it's always been in the same place
[10:14] <blind> Tried there too..
[10:14] <welemski> if anyone of you guys found a solution to my problem ro to mike's problem please post it in ubuntu furum
[10:14] <Werdna> blind, find the WINE irc channel
[10:14] <Gumby> ardchoille: whats it called exactly?
[10:14] <fyrestrtr> blind: what are you running?
[10:14] <blind> It's a program called PalTech
[10:14] <ardchoille> button_layout  in  apps/metacity/general
[10:14] <welemski> thanks
[10:17] <Gumby> ardchoille: http://ultimate.kicks-ass.net/images/gconf-editor.jpg
[10:17] <ardchoille> Gumby: http://img92.imageshack.us/img92/641/gconf1wj2.png
[10:18] <ardchoille> Gumby: That's it
[10:18] <Gumby> ardchoille: and that will display it all on the right instead of the left side of the window decoration/border?
[10:19] <ardchoille> You can change those around. the ":" means the titlebar title, so, yes, the way you have it will display all buttons on the right side
[10:19] <frogzoo> fyrestrtr: btw, date --date=yesterday
[10:19] <Gumby> ardchoille: yet they display on the left.  heh
[10:19] <ardchoille> Gumby: "menu,minimize,maximize,close: would display all buttons on the left side
[10:19] <Gumby> ardchoille: as seen in the screenshot.  the key is unedited
[10:20] <ardchoille> Gumby: You using something like XGL or Xompiz or another window manager?
[10:20] <frogzoo> Werdna: blind that would be #winehq
[10:20] <ardchoille> Gumby: The theme can over-ride that gconf setting also
[10:21] <Gumby> ardchoille: I think that may be the issue.  as the buttons arent even in the same order as they are in the key
[10:21] <ardchoille> Yeah
[10:21] <GStubbs43> Hey, Are there any other 'suites' like Mozilla Suite and Seamonkey available?
[10:22] <ardchoille> Gumby: If it's a theme issue, you can go into the themerc and change that easily
[10:22] <Gumby> now I just have to remember how check what theme I am using.
[10:22] <ardchoille> gnome-theme-manager
[10:22] <Gumby> thats the one.  I havnt used gnome is years

[10:24] <ardchoille> Gumby: Are you using Compiz? How are you getting transparency in the titlebar?
[10:24] <Gumby> ardchoille: yes, I am using compiz
[10:24] <ardchoille> AFAIK, Metacity doesn't support transparency
[10:24] <Jaak> !dvd
[10:24] <ubotu> See http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html. Libdvdcss can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages

[10:24] <Nikoladze> anybody here using xchat with the systray plugin?

[10:25] <Gumby> ardchoille: I am just getting to know it
[10:25] <lhds> wlek someone answer
[10:25] <ardchoille> Gumby: Then it may not even care about Metacity settings
[10:25] <Nikoladze> Gumby: its petty but, what do you have as the icon path setting, mine shows no icon and its been annoying me
[10:26] <lhds> ardchoille forget metacity help me
[10:26] <commctrl> lhds, do not repeat, if someone can answer you, they will
[10:26] <Gumby> Nikoladze: I havnt set mine.
[10:26] <ardchoille> lhds: Sound issue?
[10:26] <lhds> in what channel can i find some real meal ppl that understands those?
[10:26] <lhds> yes ardchoille
[10:26] <lhds> i need to unload it
[10:26] <Nikoladze> Gumby: and it shows an icon?
[10:26] <ardchoille> lhds: Sorry, I don't use sound at all
[10:26] <Gumby> lhds: turn off your sound server and then unload the module
[10:26] <frogzoo> GStubbs43: openoffice & kde has its own office suite as well
[10:27] <lhds> because when i usually do , than i can load the tv
[10:27] <lhds> how to turn off the sound server?
[10:27] <Gumby> lhds: www.google.com should be able to help you
[10:27] <commctrl> lhds, interestingly enough, man rmmod would help you solve your problem
[10:27] <lhds> aaaaaaaaaaaaah okay
[10:27] <GStubbs43> frogzoo: I want a suite with stuff like a web browser and email client, not office.
[10:27] <Gumby> Nikoladze: yes, it shows the xchat "X" icon
[10:28] <commctrl> GStubbs43, why a suite?
[10:28] <frogzoo> GStubbs43: then mozilla's pretty much it afaik
[10:28] <vigilante_> !repositories
[10:28] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[10:28] <frogzoo> commctrl: integration I'm assuming - alternative might be firefox/evolution ala ubuntu
[10:28] <EdLin> GStubbs43: actually, the Mozilla Suite is now called SeaMonkey.
[10:28] <vigilante_> !easysource
[10:28] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[10:28] <GStubbs43> I just like having everything all-in-one. But I guess Seamonkey is the only way to go...
[10:28] <Tonren> Hey guys, what's a good, easy-to-use VNC server?
[10:28] <EdLin> vigilante_: you can /msg the bot
[10:29] <frogzoo> GStubbs43: you're not forgetting ubuntu's evolution?
[10:29] <redblades> Hi, I have encountered a _very_ serious issue.
[10:29] <frogzoo> redblades: o.O
[10:29] <GStubbs43> No web browser in evolution...
[10:29] <frogzoo> GStubbs43: true, firefox
[10:29] <commctrl> because e-mail is not browsing, and browsing is not e-mail
[10:29] <redblades> My password was compromised, and I changed it, but I can't recall the exact password
[10:29] <vigilante_> EdLin: ok
[10:29] <commctrl> redblades, good job
[10:30] <frogzoo> GStubbs43: evolution with ff works pretty well, especially with deskbar as well
[10:30] <GStubbs43> okay, brb
[10:30] <redblades> commctrl, thanks. : )
[10:30] <Gumby> redblades: boot into single user mode or use a boot cd to chroot into your root environment and then change the password
[10:30] <frogzoo> redblades: this is hardly a serious issue for us - perhaps for you - boot single user & reset your password
[10:30] <redblades> Gumby, wont it ask for the password before I can use sngle user anyway?
[10:30] <commctrl> no
[10:30] <Tonren> Is there a way to activate VNCViewer server for Windows?
[10:31] <commctrl> Tonren, "activate"? you installed tightVNCserver for windows?
[10:31] <redblades> frogzoo, I know, but I've only eve forgotten a password once before.
[10:31] <smerity> amsn
[10:31] <Tonren> commctrl: No, I'm a newb.  I haven't installed anything yet.
[10:31] <Tonren> commctrl: Should I use RealVNC or tightVNCserver?
[10:31] <frogzoo> redtech: so consult a neurologist
[10:31] <commctrl> Tonren, then get TightVNC for windows
[10:31] <Tonren> commctrl: It's better than RealVNC?
[10:31] <redtech> oO
[10:32] <Ramunas> my totem doesn't play wmv files anymore, what can i do?
[10:32] <commctrl> i've never used realVNC, i've been using tightvnc for years
[10:32] <Tonren> commctrl: Cool, I'm DLing it now
[10:32] <commctrl> !restrictedformats > Ramunas
[10:32] <Tonren> commctrl: So, "VNC" is an actual protocol, just like SSH?
[10:32] <commctrl> yes
[10:32] <y0zBuntu> ram, you can also try xine if totem doesn't play the stuff
[10:32] <y0zBuntu> after installing restricted formats
[10:33] <commctrl> basically sends JPG pichars of certain parts of the desktop when certain things happen (or periodically)
[10:35] <elamericano> Anyone know how to compile gnome-terminal for 256 colors?
[10:36] <mc44> are ext3 partitions set to journal mode by deafult?
[10:36] <mjr> mc44, metadata is journaled by default
[10:36] <manny> can someone tell me the correct procedure to upgrade from breezy to dapper
[10:36] <Madpilot> !upgrade
[10:36] <ubotu> Upgrading to Ubuntu 5.10 breezy -> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade  Upgrading to Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades  Note: gksudo "update-manager -d" always updates to the latest development version.
[10:36] <manny> must i apt-get upgrade before dist-upgrade?
[10:37] <Madpilot> manny, ^^^ 2nd URL in ubotu posting abov
[10:37] <Madpilot> above, even
[10:37] <manny> thanks
[10:37] <acab_> hi
[10:37] <harry_> why i cant run synaptic package manager after i updated my system
[10:37] <mc44> mjr: ah, thanks. is there any advantage to having it journal everything rather than metadata?
[10:38] <ardchoille> harry_: Would be helpful if you can pastebin the error
[10:38] <ardchoille> !paste
[10:38] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[10:38] <mjr> mc44, usually no, ordering the data writes before metadata journal updates does a good job at guaranteeing consistency
[10:38] <acab_> i've tried  sudo apt-get install realplay but it don't work... i obtain could not find realplay... have you some idea?
[10:39] <ardchoille> !info realplayer
[10:39] <ubotu> realplayer: Real Player (installer). In repository multiverse, is optional. Version 8.0.11 (dapper), package size 22 kB, installed size 208 kB (Only available for i386)
[10:39] <mc44> mjr: ah I see. thanks a lot!
[10:39] <acab_> ok ty
[10:39] <ardchoille> acab_: enable the multiverse repo and try to install it again
[10:39] <harry_> ardchoille: i dont get it. after i performed the update my computer asked for a restart. after that i tried to run synaptic. and it asked for my password. i entered it. and there goes the error. it said i must log in as a root type
[10:39] <acab_> ok ty
[10:40] <ardchoille> harry_: Did you use sudo?
[10:40] <knoppix> hi all
[10:41] <harry_> ardchoille: no. i opened in graphically. and my menu icons also disappeared. i only see plain text.
[10:41] <y0zBuntu> wow mine is doing something similar to harry
[10:41] <y0zBuntu> i can't get into synaptic anymore
[10:41] <y0zBuntu> after applying latest updates
[10:41] <Tonren> commctrl: Yo, is there a way to download a VNCViewer that doesn't suck?
[10:41] <y0zBuntu> harry, my icons have disappeared too
[10:41] <y0zBuntu> interesting...
[10:41] <harry_> y0zBuntu: yeah we both have the same problem
[10:41] <y0zBuntu> wow, crazy haha
[10:41] <y0zBuntu> that sucks
[10:42] <Ramunas> I've installed all needed plugins, but i still get this error when opening wmv file: Video codec 'Windows Media Video 9' is not handled. You might need to install additional plugins to be able to play some types of movies
[10:42] <commctrl> Tonren, TightVNC has a viewer in there too
[10:42] <Tonren> commctrl: Should I download TightVNC for my Ubuntu laptop (client/viewer) as well?
[10:42] <ardchoille> Ramunas: wmv9 is not supported
[10:42] <harry_> y0zBuntu: you cant even hold down the backspace right?
[10:42] <knoppix> hi all my edubuntu wont start my 2 network cards on start-up. pls help
[10:42] <commctrl> Tonren, also realize that VNC is... slow... over the internet... over internal networks it's almost fine
[10:42] <commctrl> Tonren, you can try
[10:42] <Tonren> commctrl: I'm testing it out over my LAN and the default VNCViewer for GNOME is sucking.
[10:42] <Ramunas> ardchoille: so there's no way to view that file with totem?
[10:43] <ardchoille> Ramunas: AFAIK, no
[10:43] <Ramunas> ardchoille: strange, i think i remember watching wmv9 files with totem, maybe its my imagination
[10:43] <y0zBuntu> harry, hmm
[10:44] <J-_> where is the azureus2.jar located once azureus is installed?
[10:44] <y0zBuntu> 'hold down backspace' as in, repeatedly backspacing ?
[10:44] <harry_> y0zBuntu: thats right. does it happend to you also??
[10:44] <varsendaggr> hey is there a way to shrink the size of a .svg   without opening it in inkscape?
[10:45] <knoppix> hi all my edubuntu wont start my 2 network cards on start-up. pls help
[10:45] <Madpilot> varsendaggr, not that I know of
[10:45] <y0zBuntu> harry i'm in xchat and backspace is working fine..
[10:45] <ardchoille> Madpilot: How would one play wmv9 video?
[10:45] <y0zBuntu> works ok in firefox too in input fields
[10:45] <harry_> y0zBuntu: but mine doesnt
[10:45] <y0zBuntu> but i can't see icons in the menus anymore
[10:45] <Madpilot> ardchoille, isn't that the DRM'd new wmv format?
[10:45] <y0zBuntu> and synaptic is screwed up
[10:45] <y0zBuntu> that's pretty major.
[10:46] <ardchoille> Madpilot: I think so, ok, thanks
[10:46] <Madpilot> y0zBuntu, screwed up how?
[10:47] <fm> hi
[10:47] <harry_> y0zBuntu: totally screwed up. it ask for my password but i cant even log in. all my menu icons also disappeared
[10:47] <fm> I have heard that XDMCP is pretty insecure, is there a better alternative for a remote graphicol login?
[10:47] <Seveas> fm, freenx or ssh
[10:48] <Seyl> fm:ssh
[10:48] <roadboy> hi all
[10:48] <harry_> y0zBuntu: actually this is the second time i encountered this. this is my second time to reformat my computer right this day.
[10:48] <fm> thank you ** long How-To day to come..**

[10:49] <harry_> y0zBuntu: the first one is when i tried to adjust the mouse sensitivity. instead it worked fine. it worked realllll slow
[10:49] <Tonren> How do I get my system tray back...? I accidentally removed it from my panel
[10:49] <y0zBuntu> harry i just figured something out
[10:49] <y0zBuntu> harry_, i tried this from terminal:
[10:49] <commctrl> Tonren, right-click, Add To Panel
[10:49] <[xt] > oh, my apologies to anybody who was offended by that
[10:49] <y0zBuntu> 'sudo /usr/sbin/synaptic'
[10:49] <Tonren> commctrl: I can't find it in there.  What is it?
[10:49] <harry_> y0zBuntu: can u tell me please
[10:49] <y0zBuntu> and it gave me some error messages
[10:49] <knoppix> hi all my edubuntu wont start my 2 network cards on start-up. pls help
[10:50] <y0zBuntu> E: Unable to write to /var/cache/apt/

[10:50] <y0zBuntu> W: Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[10:50] <Tonren> Also, where can I customize my Keyboard Shortcuts, binding keys to my own commands?  Do I have to use xbindkeys or is there a GUI for it in GNOME?
[10:50] <frogzoo> knoppix: pastebin /etc/network/interfaces
[10:50] <commctrl> Tonren, Notification Area
[10:50] <y0zBuntu> so then i try to modify the permissions on the directory /var/cache/apt
[10:50] <y0zBuntu> and it tells me, 'read only filesystem'
[10:50] <Tonren> commctrl: Oooh.  That's the least intuitive thing ever
[10:50] <y0zBuntu> what the hell, /var is ready only now ?
[10:50] <Seveas> y0zBuntu, that happens when the kernel detects errors, fsck the partition
[10:51] <harry_> y0zBuntu: do you have 2 OS on your computer?
[10:51] <y0zBuntu> sev, can i do that from the grub boot menu
[10:51] <y0zBuntu> harry, yes
[10:51] <commctrl> Tonren, Menu > System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts
[10:51] <harry_> y0zBuntu: maybe its 1 of the effects
[10:51] <johlin> is there anyone in here who is comfortable with dhclient.conf? I want to use my own custom nameservers but I keep getting those settings flushed when it does a dhcp renew.

[10:53] <harry_> y0zBuntu: or maybe its because of the new kernel
[10:53] <Tonren> [xt] : Alternately, set the timestamp further back, do a sudo -k && sudo -K, then set the timestamp back
[10:53] <kevinz> hello. My previous Logitech mouse works ok in dapper, but after i changed to a microsoft mouse, it is too sensitive. Should I change the protocol of the mouse in xorg.conf? It is curretly "ExplorerPS/2"

[10:58] <jack__> hi, which is the best kernel for intel dual core cpu?
[10:58] <jack__> the default is the 386 one
[10:59] <maatt> thanks
[10:59] <EdLin> jack__: 686smp or the like
[11:00] <EdLin> jack__: apt-get install linux-686-smp
[11:00] <harry_> y0zBuntu: are there now??
[11:01] <jack__> EdLin, i check the cpuinfo, it says cpu core is 1, but i really have a dual core cpu!
[11:03] <eLoC> hello deFrysk, the tip worked fine! but do u know the file i can edit to type the line to execute?
[11:03] <harry_> why is this happening. my system isnt right. after installing the latest updates. my computer went just wrong
[11:03] <eLoC> deFrysk, to execute a command in the boot
[11:03] <frogzoo> !doesn't work
[11:03] <EdLin> jack__: I have a hunch  that it uses an emulation of smp, it won't hurt to install that kerenel even if it doesn't.
[11:03] <ubotu> Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.

[11:11] <timalot> boot scripts
[11:12] <harry_> why i cant log IN TO SYNAPTIC ANYMORE?????
[11:12] <eLoC> i found this path... but is there a specific file to edit? or i can create my own file and everything that is in this path, will execute when the OS starts?
[11:12] <frogzoo> timalot: /etc/rc2.d/   is what's used be default - symlinked to /etc/init.d/
[11:13] <eLoC> i was reading about the command update-rc.d, but it didn't work :S then i'll edit the file by myself
[11:13] <timalot> frogzoo: right... eLoC , then u link to the file in the init.d from /etc/rc2.d
[11:14] <eLoC> timalot, the files in the path /etc/rc2.d, are like this: S99filename. if i want to start the teamspeak server, then i create a file in the init.d path called "teamspeak" with the command that will be executed... and after this, i call the file "teamspeak" in rc2.d with another file called S99teamspeak?

[11:16] <timalot> eLoC: remember to make the script executable
[11:16] <eLoC> timalot, yes! i'll change it's chmod!
[11:16] <Psykus> it successfully copies for a while, but then the ipod becomes unmounted somehow, I think
[11:17] <eLoC> i'm using the computer in a remote machine... i'll keep here reading the ppl doubt and try to learn anything =)
[11:18] <master5o1> :P
[11:21] <Psykus> no one has a clue about the auto unmounting ipod?

[11:22] <johlin> t unmount
[11:22] <Psykus> hm, I don't think it's actually unmounting...now when I try to eject it in gnome, after the file copy fails, "eject: unable to open `/dev/sdc2': No such device or address"
[11:24] <mae_> will scripts in /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/ directory always be loaded before any interface? or do i have to specify something in /etc/network/interfaces to take advantage of this?

[11:33] <nilesh892003> ?
[11:34] <timalot> eLoC:  cool... have a look at the debian site for more info on admin.. they got some good docs
[11:34] <HiP_P> all i need to do is work out what com port its on but didnt know if there was a quicker why..... like probing or something
[11:34] <Madpilot> nilesh892003, lots. what sort of CD, data, music, or?
[11:34] <nrdb> I am trying to get a firewall to work.  I have setup iptables what I think is correct.  I can ping both the firewal NICs but cant ping the ADSL modem.  I put LOG actions in all iptables chains, but the ping isn't showing in any of the chains :( how can this be.
[11:34] <dang`r`us> I get my nameserver settings via dhcp - but they don't end up in /etc/resolv.conf (they do work, however) ... where does the networking system write them to?
[11:34] <eLoC> timalot, yes... i'm interested in learn linux for servers, and things like this... i'm loving linux =)
[11:35] <nilesh892003> i wanna to burn mp3 and data .is there software like nero for ubuntu gnome and could i do multisession like nero in ubuntu
[11:35] <nilesh892003> ?
[11:36] <timalot> nero for linux?

[11:36] <emile> what repository is xdvdshrink in? (and how would i have found that out myself?)
[11:36] <nilesh892003> is it work on gnome 2
[11:36] <nilesh892003> ?
[11:36] <ardchoille> The system keeps the sudo password for 15 minutes. Which file must I edit in order to change that 15 minute time-out?
[11:36] <nrdb> nilesh892003: I like K3b but it does load a lot of stuff to get working in gnome.
[11:36] <frogzoo> dang`r`us: usually dhcp dumps the dns ip into /etc/resolv.conf - are you also running a pppd?
[11:36] <Madpilot> nilesh892003, Nautilus can burn data, Serpentine does audio CDs
[11:36] <timalot> http://ww2.nero.com/enu/NeroLINUX.html
[11:37] <nilesh892003> k
[11:37] <timalot> not that i support non-free software
[11:37] <dang`r`us> frogzoo, nope ... anyway, solved my problem - I made a mistake when I thought I do get dns settings from the dhcpd
[11:37] <timalot> nilesh892003: u can do multisession with cdrecord
[11:37] <Madpilot> nilesh892003, just stick a blank CD-R into your burner, it should be auto-detected and Gnome will ask what you want to do with it
[11:37] <nilesh892003> k

[11:46] <kargath64> i have an amd dual core x64

[11:46] <Shinaku> but since I installed this 4 weeks ago it's not working
[11:46] <nilesh892003> any codec
[11:46] <a2xm> hi all, I just upgrade to 6.06 from 5.10. In menu Applications>System Tools; there's only Configuration Editor there. Is it normal?
[11:46] <nrdb> Habblo: looks like you haven't got an eth1 at the moment, maybe you need to get a driver for your card.  I am not the one to ask about that.
[11:46] <kargath64> so I'm just unsure of which dapper to install
[11:46] <Shinaku> Just shows a freen screen
[11:46] <kargath64> !AMD
[11:46] <ubotu> I know nothing about AMD - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[11:46] <Shinaku> a2xm, looks it
[11:46] <kargath64> !x64
[11:46] <ubotu> I know nothing about x64 - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[11:46] <Shinaku> on mine I have that and some KDE stuff
[11:47] <deFrysk> a2xm, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[11:47] <nilesh892003> how to play .dat format file in ubutu
[11:47] <Shinaku> nilesh892003, apt-get install vlc
[11:47] <nilesh892003> i have vlc
[11:47] <Shinaku> then open VLC
[11:47] <Shinaku> File > Open
[11:47] <kargath64> do I install the i386 version
[11:47] <nilesh892003> but it cannot plzy .dat file
[11:47] <kargath64> and lose some speed
[11:47] <Shinaku> is this a .dat file from a VCD?
[11:47] <Shinaku> .dat isn't always video
[11:47] <nilesh892003> ya
[11:47] <pulsar_> Does anyone know anything about firefox's branding in Ubuntu? How can I get rid of it?
[11:48] <Shinaku> right

[11:48] <nrdb> Habblo: does "ifconfig -a" show anything different?
[11:48] <nilesh892003> i know it is video coz i can play in windows
[11:48] <msikma> Is there anybody who can help me?
[11:48] <Shinaku> So yeah, my TV tuner just shows a strange green screen in TVTmie
[11:48] <jbond00747> I just installed ubuntu 6.06 on my machine and I can't get it to let me set the resolution to anything above 800x600. I'm running on a ATI Rage IIc video card
[11:48] <kargath64> or me?
[11:48] <a2xm> Shinaku: the weird about it is: on Add/Remove Programs it should be others applications there already checked mark.
[11:49] <Habblo> nrdb: yes
[11:49] <Habblo> it shows eth1
[11:49] <Habblo> but it has not IP-address
[11:49] <JohnRobert> does anyone know how to scroll upwards using more? (opposite of return)
[11:49] <ek0> i have a dual monitor set up on my pc, which is running ubuntu 6.06 with an ati x600 gfx card, the dual monitor support works on the start up screen for gdm where you pu the password, while in gnome i can't use dual screen, while i can just see the pointer is it's positioned on the first pixel of the second screen.... any ideas !? i'm dry
[11:49] <jbond00747> how do I get higher resolutions
[11:49] <Shinaku> jbond00747, have you been into the xorg.conf?
[11:49] <Flannel> JohnRobert: use less instead
[11:49] <frogzoo> kargath64: 686 for desktop > a64
[11:49] <msikma> I've asked two questions already which aren't answered. But it shouldn't be difficult, I believe. I'm trying to boot the CD on a computer that can't boot from a CD by default. Any way I can override that and boot the CD anyway?
[11:49] <frogzoo> !patience
[11:49] <ubotu> The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[11:49] <a2xm> deFrysk: the weird about it is: on Add/Remove Programs it should be others applications there already checked mark.
[11:49] <kargath64> what's a 686
[11:49] <nrdb> Habblo: if you use ifconfig to set a static IP can you ping your DHCP server
[11:50] <jbond00747> Shinaku: xorg.conf has the higher resolutions listed
[11:50] <Flannel> msikma: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[11:50] <jbond00747> however the gui only lists 640x480 and 800x600
[11:50] <msikma> Thanks, Flannel.
[11:50] <Flannel> msikma: lots of alternatives for you to weigh
[11:50] <Shinaku> have you restarted X since you updated xorg.conf?
[11:50] <jbond00747> Shinaku: I've rebooted
[11:50] <Shinaku> right
[11:50] <Shinaku> I don't know then =)
[11:51] <jbond00747> I'm pretty sure this card will at least do 1024x768, possibly higher
[11:51] <ek0> jbond00747: try pressing ctrl-alt with + or -
[11:51] <Shinaku> ek0, that doesn't woek for me at all
[11:51] <Shinaku> I was about to suggest that
[11:51] <Shinaku> *work
[11:51] <jbond00747> that seems to cycle me between the two options the GUI shows
[11:52] <ek0> Shinaku: used to work before.. i dunno 'bout now
[11:52] <a2xm> deFrysk: my ubuntu-desktop already the newest version
[11:53] <mkns> ek0 - that doesn't work for me either (not that I want to change my resolution, mind you)
[11:53] <ek0> mkns: Shinaku it just worked for me here :P
[11:53] <Shinaku> haha
[11:53] <Shinaku> fair enough
[11:54] <mkns> ek0: fair enough
[11:54] <ek0> and it just gave me a solution to my problem !
[11:54] <ek0> :P
[11:54] <kargath64> also, if I don't want to use any live cd stuff, is the alternate cd better to install from?
[11:54] <Flannel> kargath64: er,if you dont want to start a liveCD, then it's all you can install from
[11:55] <jbond00747> kargath64: From what I know, the result of either installer is basically the same...the alternative cd just lets you use LVM, software raid, and a few things like that
[11:55] <trafiq> hey i have problem after compiling kernel 2.6.17 when i run PC i have "kernel direct mapping up to ..." :/
[11:55] <Flannel> kargath64: oh, I see.  Yeah, if youre solely installing, grab the liveCD, starts you into an installer, no need to wait for it to boot, etc.
[11:55] <Shinaku> so, no one knows anything about TV tuners? ^_^
[11:56] <stefg> Shinaku: analog or DVB ones?
[11:56] <Ramunas> Shinaku: i just got mine last week, just installed tvtime and it worked
[11:56] <Shinaku> analog
[11:56] <Shinaku> it worked on my last ubuntu install, 5.10
[11:56] <vodex> Hiya, computing expert but linux newb here -how do I enable sound with a fresh install? I have mboard-based sound but also a PCI card, can't get any sound to work at all
[11:56] <Shinaku> this time, no chance
[11:56] <kargath64> yeah, i just keep hearing about issues with the live cd
[11:57] <johnny> can someone help me configure a wireless connection
[11:57] <Shinaku> heh, digital around here sucks ;)
[11:57] <hoy> !sound
[11:57] <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
[11:57] <stefg> !wifi > johnny
[11:57] <kargath64> since this is the 1st graphical installer for ubuntu afaik

[11:57] <Shinaku> but yeah, I just get this strange green screen in the tvtime window
[11:57] <kargath64> !nforce
[11:57] <Dimitrije> Does some one know where to set up where will g++ search for include (header) files?

[11:57] <kargath64> !ethernet
[11:57] <ubotu> I know nothing about ethernet - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[11:57] <jbond00747> kargath64: Give it a try and if it doesn't work then try the alternative. I used the alternative CD for my install, but I wanted to be able to use LVM
[11:58] <stefg> Shinaku: it's not about wether there's a vacuum involved, it's simply switched off by the bradcasting company
[11:58] <johnny> stefg, i only have a mobile centrino wireless device
[11:58] <johnny> will i be able to use just that
[11:58] <johnny> or will i need a wireless card
[11:58] <Flannel> kargath64: theres no downside to using the alternate CD, well, except its textbased and not purdy GUI stuff.
[11:58] <vodex> I don't seem to have syatem -> Preferences ubotu
[11:58] <nikin> hy
[11:58] <Shinaku> No, I'm just in a shit signal area :)

[11:59] <kargath64> i'm weird like that
[11:59] <Higgy_> hi, i failed to get 915resolution to install - it says something about a dependency on libc6, which appears to already be available on the system
[11:59] <Madpilot> vodex, try #kubuntu for Kubuntu
[11:59] <jbond00747> kargath64: Then use the alternative CD. (As I mentioned they get you to the same result)
[11:59] <kargath64> sure
[11:59] <vodex> I'm in there, got nothing :/
[12:00] <vodex> besdies ubotu says the same advice...
[12:00] <kargath64> i read that there is compatibility issues with some programs if you choose the x64 version of Dapper
[12:00] <kargath64> anyone know about those?

[12:09] <jbond00747> well it looks like my video card can't do 1024x768 at 24 bit color, so we are going to try doing it at 16 bit color. Thanks for the help.
[12:09] <kargath64> so can i386 install on AMD64?
[12:09] <frogzoo> kargath64: 686 works fine with wine
[12:09] <kargath64> and work?
[12:10] <kargath64> community docs must be old then
[12:10] <srikat> kargath64: yes
[12:10] <frogzoo> kargath64: for the 3rd time, best desktop choice for a64 cpu is the 686 kernel
[12:10] <srikat> frogzoo: is the same as "PC (Intel x86) desktop CD "
[12:11] <srikat> which links to http://ftp.cw.net/pub/linux/ftp.ubuntu.com/releases/6.06/ubuntu-6.06-desktop-i386.iso

[12:11] <Luna-Tick> Hello again everyone
[12:11] <habblo> How do you blacklist modules in ubuntu?
[12:11] <habblo> !blacklisting modules
[12:11] <ubotu> I know nothing about blacklisting modules - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:12] <habblo> supid bot
[12:12] <stefg> !blacklist
[12:12] <ubotu> To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add "blacklist modulename" to the end of that list
[12:12] <srikat> kargath64: no question is stupid. I am paying the price for not asking the very same question that you asked now
[12:12] <stefg> stupid habblo :-)
[12:12] <nobody\> how to remove uw-imap ?
[12:12] <nobody\> dpkg: error processing uw-imapd (--remove):
[12:12] <nobody\>  Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
[12:12] <nobody\>  reinstall it before attempting a removal.
[12:12] <srikat> kargath64: I installed 64 bit Ubuntu on my AMD 64 comp and now 'cos of that I can't install Opera
[12:12] <frogzoo> srikat: that will install fine, then you need 2 install linux-686
[12:12] <srikat> kargath64: so am gonna install 32 bit on top of this
[12:12] <ivanowitch> Hello. A simple quiestion: How do you execute a bash script without running it with sh? i.e. like a binary ...
[12:13] <Luna-Tick> ./
[12:13] <nikin> oh yes, and a security q: what is WPA-s cracktime at the moment (128bit)
[12:13] <srikat> frogzoo: IC...will have to see how to install "linux-686" after installing the 32 bit
[12:13] <frogzoo> ivanowitch: put #!/usr/bin/bash     at the top of the script, chmod +x, & then put it in path, or just ./script_name
[12:13] <Luna-Tick> I don't think WPA-PSK is easily broken
[12:13] <Luna-Tick> WEP is well-gone
[12:14] <habblo> !blacklist
[12:14] <ubotu> To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add "blacklist modulename" to the end of that list
[12:14] <frogzoo> ivanowitch: that should read #!/bin/bash
[12:14] <ivanowitch> frogzoo, would you elaborate the last part a bit?
[12:14] <srikat> frogzoo: just confirming once again: To ensure max compatibility w/ all the s/w, the best Ubuntu to install on AMD64 is PC (Intel x86) desktop CD followed by linux-686
[12:14] <frogzoo> ivanowitch: if you do 'echo $PATH' that's the path your shell looks for executables
[12:14] <srikat> is that correct?
[12:14] <kargath64> just curious, what does blacklisting a module do?
[12:14] <habblo> blacklits
[12:14] <nikin> i know about the 15 minutes wep can stand, i use WPA.. (after some atacks :[ ) not yet broken, but i want to know how frequent i have to change the password

This sends the packages you use to the Ubuntu developers so that they can put the popular ones on the CDs, give them priority when fixing bugs etc. For details on how to configure popcon, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuPopularityContest - we need lots of users, especially "normal" users before it is any use!
[12:18] <srikat> can someone pls confirm my last statement
[12:19] <srikat> [15:44]  <srikat> frogzoo: just confirming once again: To ensure max compatibility w/ all the s/w, the best Ubuntu to install on AMD64 is PC (Intel x86) desktop CD followed by linux-686
[12:19] <soundray> vigilante_: found it with 'apt-cache search package smart'
[12:19] <kargath64> MAX is a nice tool, but isn't easy after some years with blender
[12:19] <kargath64> :p
[12:19] <vigilante_> soundray: yeah, I found it in Adept, I just didn't recognize the name
[12:19] <nikin> sure... its all about what you are used to
[12:19] <Luna-Tick> I thought 64-bit Dapper could run i386 packages
[12:20] <agresor> *** Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why...
[12:20] <agresor> *** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
[12:20] <agresor> *** exact error that occured. This usually means GTK+ is incorrectly installed.
[12:20] <agresor> anyone know why is this ?
[12:20] <srikat> brb
[12:21] <agresor> ?????
[12:21] <Luna-Tick> Nope... sorry
[12:21] <kargath64> bah, I might just try and download BOTH i386 and x64

[12:22] <FatB> Hello everybody...
[12:22] <Dimitrije> I am going to install blender, is there support channel for this application?
[12:23] <kargath64> /join #blenderchat
[12:23] <FatB> I'm very newIto ubuntu and I've just a simple question =)
[12:23] <Luna-Tick> Yes?
[12:23] <FatB> I installed yesterday the latest version (dapper)
[12:23] <frederick> can anybody tell me things about c programming
[12:23] <Luna-Tick> This isn't really the place to ask, frederick
[12:24] <FatB> Then I added some programs, Wlan with WPA and VMWare Workstation
[12:24] <esor> could somebody tell me any good repository list? I've found on ubuntuforums but I don't remember where
[12:24] <kargath64> it's a good language, and you'll need to buy a reference book
[12:24] <ardchoille> !easysource
[12:24] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[12:24] <esor> ty
[12:24] <kargath64> !sources.list
[12:24] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[12:24] <FatB> So is it save for me to click "Install all updates"
[12:24] <kargath64> ahhh
[12:24] <Luna-Tick> Probably :)
[12:25] <mkns> do you mean safe?
[12:25] <Luna-Tick> How did you install those programmes
[12:25] <FatB> He wants to get 180MB of Updates and I'm not sure if my system will crash
[12:25] <FatB> I mean safe, yeah
[12:25] <mkns> why would it crash?
[12:25] <Luna-Tick> It shouldn't
[12:25] <mkns> who is "he"?
[12:25] <Luna-Tick> It downloads the updates onto your machine
[12:25] <Luna-Tick> and installs them one by one
[12:25] <Luna-Tick> so it isn't a major as it sounds
[12:25] <frfx> does somebody know some nice little games i can download with apt-get?
[12:25] <flydream> #ubuntu-cn
[12:25] <zcat[1] > any idea how I'd make bootup force the order sound devices get detected? It was working under breezy but now things seem completely random....
[12:26] <Luna-Tick> frfx - go into Applications > Add/Remove and look under Games :)
[12:26] <kargath64> battle for wesnoth
[12:26] <kargath64> in synaptic
[12:26] <FatB> But VMWare Workstation compiled something with the headers for 23er kernel and ubuntu wants to install the 26er one
[12:27] <nikin> what do you mean with "nice little games?" :D
[12:27] <frfx> i know..but maybe somebody knows something nice :)
[12:27] <Luna-Tick> Briquolo is nice
[12:27] <zcat[1] > sorta got it working using /etc/modules but two cards use the ens1371 chipset.. it detects one as /dev/dsp1, then the usb sound device as /dev/dsp2 then the second card as /dev/dsp3
[12:27] <FatB> So will I be able to start vmware after the installation?
[12:27] <zcat[1] > (onboard sound is /dev/dsp)
[12:27] <frfx> games that can run good on older hardware
[12:27] <Luna-Tick> Supertux?
[12:28] <mkns> FatB: probably not, so you probably want to install the headers for 2.6.15-26 as well
[12:28] <move> can someone tell me why something like /usr/games/gnome-same --screen=0 wont work?
[12:28] <mkns> FatB: when you install the new kernel, your old one will still be available for you to choose at bootup time
[12:28] <a2xm> hi all, I've weird menu, on Add/Remove Programs it should be others applications already checked mark on System Tools, in fact there's only one.
[12:28] <FatB> and I will need to reinstall vmware after the update
[12:28] <Luna-Tick> How did you install vmware?
[12:28] <vigilante_> I am looking to install Engage docker, does that come with E16, or is there a seperate download?  I am reading abou it the forums, but no good info yet
[12:28] <Bakemono> hi
[12:28] <mkns> FatB: so if you find things don't work, you can always reboot into the older kernel to fix things
[12:28] <move> hi.
[12:29] <FatB> sure
[12:29] <Luna-Tick> FatB? How did you install Vmware?
[12:29] <mkns> FatB: for example, my wireless card no longer worked when I upgraded the kernel, so I needed to reboot to the older kernel to download a new package, install it and then rebooted back to the new kernel where things now worked
[12:29] <kargath64> frfx: battle for wesnoth is excellent strategy
[12:29] <kargath64> and free
[12:29] <kargath64> ~30MB
[12:30] <FatB> yesterday... with a few beers and the notebok in the bed =)
[12:30] <FatB> @Luna-Tick
[12:30] <kargath64> well, gtg
[12:30] <Luna-Tick> I mean, did you get it from a website, or through synaptic?
[12:30] <kargath64> wish me luck ^^;
[12:30] <FatB> website
[12:31] <FatB> You can download a 30 Day Trial on the official website
[12:31] <FatB> Just download the tar file
[12:31] <nikin> kargath: but dont forget it req a 3D card
[12:31] <Luna-Tick> The player is available through Add/Remove
[12:31] <mkns> vmware server is free, mind you
[12:31] <Luna-Tick> No - I beg your pardon
[12:32] <Luna-Tick> The entry is there but it "is not available in any software channel"
[12:32] <nikin> have luck
[12:32] <msikma> Ohhhhh
[12:32] <msikma> Of course
[12:32] <msikma> 16 MB probably is not enough even for the default 5.10 installer.
[12:32] <msikma> (RAM)
[12:33] <finalbeta> Ubuntu is giving an error, I'm suposed to have a broken packed. I start synaptic to use broken packed filter, I find bmp-docklet is broken with a rubbish description. Can only remove it, not even reinstall.
[12:33] <finalbeta> WWhat does it do?
[12:34] <trafiq> any idea how to fix problem after compiling kernel 2.6.17 "kernel direct mapping tables up to 100000000 @ 8000-8000" ?
[12:34] <Luna-Tick> FatB: If you got it off a website, I couldn't be sure whether it would work or not. As was said, if you upgrade and it doesn't then you can always go back into the old kernel. You are better to upgrade and try and get VM to work, than not to update.
[12:34] <Luna-Tick> Okay, well I'm off - bed time
[12:34] <finalbeta> Hmm, nevermind, I think I know, upgraded to toem xine, must be one of the deskdocklets I don't use anyway.
[12:35] <neutrinomass> trafiq: 2.6.17 kernels shouldn't really be used on Dapper machines because of various compatability issues ....
[12:35] <msikma> I guess it just stops right in the middle of initializing the base system installer because I have 16 MB RAM.
[12:35] <msikma> Oh well!
[12:36] <neutrinomass> msikma: I hope that you were at least trying the alternate cd ....
[12:36] <msikma> I was trying the 5.10 CD which doesn't have the nifty installer.
[12:36] <msikma> And 4.10 as well, same results.
[12:36] <neutrinomass> msikma: Ahh yes..... where was the problem? During booting ?
[12:36] <johlin> Every time I click a link in amsn, it fires up mozilla. How do I make it use firefox instead?
[12:36] <trafiq> neutrinomass,  hm all 2.6.17 have problems? like 2.6.17.2 , 2.6.17.7 etc?
[12:37] <msikma> Hmm... seems that the last line is [    56.122538]  input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0
[12:37] <msikma> It's just initializing things.
[12:37] <msikma> Maybe it also does not help that it detected that the processor is 59.990 MHz :-)
[12:37] <neutrinomass> trafiq: Not just 2.6.17. Anything after 2.6.15 because of changes with udev (AFAIK). It was discussed on the ubuntu-devel list a couple of months ago ....
[12:38] <neutrinomass> msikma: I'm quite sure you can install it on that.... give me a sec ....
[12:38] <neutrinomass> msikma: (I have breezy on a P100 with 40MB RAM, but that's a much stronger box than yours :P )
[12:38] <trafiq> neutrinomass,  thx
[12:39] <move> can someone tell me why something like /usr/games/gnome-same --screen=0 wont work?
[12:39] <msikma> I was able to install it on a 400 MHz laptop (6.06) which runs excellent. Then again, that is a rather strong machine with 192 MB RAM.
[12:39] <trafiq> neutrinomass,  what version should i compile?
[12:39] <ompaul> *** what you are about to see *** is a massive ban clear out in about 30 seconds ***  this is not an attack on freenode or anything of the sort but it will flood the channel for a second or two
[12:39] <neutrinomass> trafiq: Why do you want to compile a kernel ?
[12:39] <ompaul> *** what you are about to see *** is a massive ban clear out in about 5 seconds ***
[12:39] <trafiq> neutrinomass,  faster booting and better performance?;) dont know im learning ...
[12:40] <ompaul> back in a couple of seconds
[12:40] <msikma> I didn't see a billion bans being removed yet! Lag?
[12:41] <neutrinomass> msikma: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems ?
[12:41] <msikma> Yeah, I tried the server install, but I guess I'll try fooling around with the boot line first now
[12:41] <ompaul> okay doing that now
[12:42] <neutrinomass> msikma: Then again, you can always do what I did: Put the HD on another computer and install from there. Then swap back the drives :)
[12:42] <n1gke> I could use some help with the libc6 file.
[12:44] <Hit3k> whoa
[12:44] <Hit3k> thats a big ban list
[12:44] <ardchoille> I can just imagine the ban list for this channel
[12:44] <msikma> I guess it's not really viable to install Ubuntu on that computer.
[12:45] <msikma> Well, that's okay. I still have that laptop.
[12:45] <neutrinomass> msikma: All you'd get is a terminal anyway. You might want to try Damn Small Linux (or muLinux or any smaller distro) on it though ...
[12:45] <n1gke> The cwirc program I'm trying to use calls for libc6 2.6.6-0, but my Ubuntu 606lts wont accept it. It wants libc6 >=2.6.6-6
[12:45] <neutrinomass> msikma: Don't expect KDE and Firefox on it, at any rate :P
[12:45] <msikma> I only need a terminal (and the Python interpreter) :)
[12:46] <brad> I can't download anything
[12:46] <msikma> I was gonna use it for testing out Python scripts, but I can still use that laptop for that. Just gotta find a way to prevent the graphical greeter from starting.
[12:46] <neutrinomass> msikma: Well, you might want to try a network install .... maybe that will work but don't take my word for it :-/
[12:46] <nikin> msikma: what do you want to do with it?
[12:46] <nikin> ok i was slow
[12:46] <nikin> :D
[12:47] <msikma> nikin: well, right now I'd like to stop the graphical login from appearing :)
[12:47] <linuxd00d> gaim on windows xp sucks
[12:47] <msikma> I think it's called GDM?
[12:48] <linuxd00d> msikma: do you just want to use virtual console
[12:48] <msikma> Yeah, the interpreter.
[12:48] <frogzoo> i've compiled qemu 0.8.2 - but I have an application which just hangs & cpu goes 100%
[12:49] <linuxd00d> the interpreter
[12:49] <goatpussy> hi guys, i am trying to adjust my xorg.conf to take 1400x1050 as my resolution, but when i startx the computer crashes and i get blank screen
[12:49] <goatpussy> where could i get more detailled error information ?
[12:50] <operativ1> is that for a widescreen setup?
[12:50] <brad> Do you have two graphics cards?
[12:50] <brad> That happened to me
[12:50] <stefg> !fixres
[12:50] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type this in a console: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  -  To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[12:50] <linuxd00d> msikma: if you just want to be using the Virtual console when you login or whilst you computer is booting up press CTRL-ALT-F1
[12:50] <stefg> goatpussy: have you read thru the hwto already?
[12:51] <goatpussy> operativ1: no normal setup, only one video card
[12:51] <goatpussy> yeah i did, several times
[12:51] <brad> Anybody else having problem connecting to every repository?
[12:51] <goatpussy> i also tried using the xorg.conf from the linuxlaptop guide
[12:51] <goatpussy> they all give me a blank screen, but no error info
[12:51] <stefg> goatpussy: have a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[12:51] <amee2k> hi all
[12:52] <amee2k> i'm on ubuntu desktop 6.06 and did this: http://h0x.net/p/?x=26  -   how can i get these perl docs?
[12:52] <goatpussy> stefg, thats what i did, nothing ther
[12:53] <goatpussy> and the strange thing is, if i use ctrl + alt + backspace, it doesn't even respond anymore
[12:53] <stefg> goatpussy: it might be a dpms problem... what card, what monitor?
[12:54] <Dimitrije> !nvidia
[12:54] <neutrinomass> brad: What sort of problems ?
[12:54] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:54] <GnarusLeo> how do I access my files via bluetooth on a gsm phone?
[12:54] <GnarusLeo> !bluetooth
[12:54] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[12:54] <brad> neutrinomass, It won't let me connect to any repository and before I can try to dl anything it says it's not authenticated
[12:54] <goatpussy> its a laptop monitor, and a geforce 7400 card
[12:54] <bimberi> amee2k: to you have the 'main' repository enabled in your sources.list?
[12:54] <goatpussy> 15inch laptop monitor
[12:55] <stefg> goatpussy: and it's native resolution is 1440x1050?
[12:55] <neutrinomass> brad: What's the error when you try to connect? Is this an expert installation ?
[12:55] <goatpussy> 1400x1050 yes
[12:56] <goatpussy> http://mdessus.free.fr/Divers/Asus_v6j_linux.html
[12:56] <goatpussy> i even tried this xorg.conf, as it is made for this laptop V6J
[12:56] <Dimitrije> Is GeForce FX 5200 legacy?
[12:56] <goatpussy> but still white screen
[12:57] <ompaul> !enter
[12:57] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[12:57] <stefg> goatpussy: hmmm..  do you run the nvidia driver from 'restricted', or do you use nv ?
[12:57] <Arafangion> Why is it that every damn time I upgrade in ubuntu, something bad happens?
[12:57] <amee2k> bimberi: is that "Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (binary)" ?
[12:57] <theshibboleth> How do I go about mounting a usb device if it doesn't automount?
[12:57] <amee2k> (in Software Properties)
[12:57] <Arafangion> This time, I happened to use ATI's drivers, and it broke X11 in the upgrade.
[12:57] <brad> neutrinomass, It's a regular synaptic installation and the error is :Could not download all repository indexes
[12:57] <brad> The repository might be no longer available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and the correct writing of the repository address in the preferences.
[12:57] <amee2k> (in Software Preferences...)
[12:57] <goatpussy> stefg i tried bot
[12:57] <goatpussy> both
[12:58] <GnarusLeo> how do I access my files via bluetooth on a samsung phone?
[12:58] <bimberi> amee2k: yes, if "Officially supported" shows below that heading
[12:58] <harry> why do i get a message "segmentation fault" when i'm trying to run mplayer
[12:59] <ompaul> harry, you tried to compile it?
[12:59] <neutrinomass> theshibboleth: To begin with, it should be automounting. If it isn't, you should file a bug report. Now, to manually mount it you'll have to do a "sudo mount /dev/sdaX /media/usbdisk" , replacing X with the number at which the USB device is. You may have to create /media/usbdisk ....
[12:59] <harry> ompaul: what do you mean i tried to compile it??
[12:59] <amee2k> bimberi: yeah.
[12:59] <ompaul> harry, did you compile it?
[12:59] <neutrinomass> brad: Use pastebin (see topic) to paste your /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:59] <stefg> goatpussy: I'd try to sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and tell the exact amount of video-memory to it. Also try to disable all other resolutions except 1400x1050
[01:00] <trafiq> neutrinomass,  one question more u say 2.6.17 have problem with dapper, can i compile hm linux-2.6.16.27.tar.bz2  ?
[01:00] <harry> ompaul: how will i know if i had compiled it??
[01:00] <stefg> and disaple dpms,
[01:00] <harry> ompaul: i just runned sudo apt-get install mplayer
[01:00] <ompaul> harry, okay if you can't answer the question you did not compile it
[01:00] <harry> ompaul: and after that i did sudo apt-get install mplayer-fonts
[01:00] <neutrinomass> trafiq: You CAN compile it and it is LIKELY to work flawlessly, but there are high chances that it will not. It's not that you don't stand any chances of getting it to work. Why do you want to compile the new kernel in the first place ?
[01:01] <bimberi> amee2k: hm, try updating the repositories (sudo apt-get update) and retry installing perl-doc
[01:01] <goatpussy> stefg, i tried that before, i'll try again
[01:01] <brad> neutrinomass, I pasted it
[01:01] <trafiq> neutrinomass,  if i compile i should get more performance and little faster system true?
[01:01] <theshibboleth> neutrinomass: well to be fair, I should say that the device is a cell phone. I want to perform file transfers with it, but I don't really know how at all. I looked into some programs that are supposed to work with similar phones, but they don't support my particular model (a Samsung SCH-A850 phone).
[01:01] <harry> ompaul: do i need to compile it?
[01:01] <goatpussy> i think it might have something todo with the auto detection of my monitor
[01:01] <stefg> goatpussy: bottom line: don't trust autodetection... tell the values manually
[01:02] <ompaul> harry, no
[01:02] <harry> ompaul: so whats with segmentation fault message from the terminal??
[01:02] <ompaul> harry, a seg fault is a sign that something is *very* wrong with a program or its environment
[01:02] <goatpussy> stefg, that would be nice if asus provided me with all these values :)
[01:02] <gnomefreak> trafiq: you might but you lose all the updates that ben made to it. so you wont get ubuntu security updates or anything like that
[01:02] <nikin> theshibboleth: what do you want to send? pictures?
[01:02] <stefg> goatpussy: lspci
[01:02] <neutrinomass> trafiq: Not always. You could even get a slower system ;) Or you might get negligible speed benefits. If it's for the speed benefits alone, don't bother... Of course, if you have time on your hands, you might want to do it for the fun of it ;)
[01:03] <theshibboleth> nikin: pictures, ringtones (I'm assuming they're midis), that sort of thing
[01:03] <harry> ompaul: how would you help me with my problem??
[01:03] <neutrinomass> brad: Can you please provide a link ? It should have given you a link after pasteing ....
[01:03] <ompaul> harry, what version is it, to find this out do: sudo apt-cache policy mplayer
[01:03] <amee2k> bimberi: that fixed it. ty :)
[01:03] <frogzoo> trafiq: if your reason for installing a newer kernel is for speed increases, you'd best stick with what you have
[01:03] <trafiq> neutrinomass,  thx for help ;) gnomefreak  too ;)
[01:03] <brad> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19224
[01:03] <ompaul> harry, sorry you don't need sudo to do that
[01:03] <goatpussy> stefg : if i am not mistaking that is limited information ?
[01:04] <neutrinomass> theshibboleth: Ah.... not sure about that. No idea how cell phones interoperate with computers .... at any rate, yes, it should still be a bug report :)
[01:04] <harry> ompaul: thought so. coz i'm using dapper drake
[01:04] <bimberi> amee2k: yw :)
[01:04] <neutrinomass> trafiq: No problem. Feel free to pop in if you have any other questions ....
[01:04] <stefg> goatpussy: at least it will tell you the bus-ID of the graphics adater and give an overview of what's detected
[01:05] <goatpussy> 0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation: Unknown device 01d8 (rev a1)
[01:05] <goatpussy> so this means its on PCI:1:0:0 right
[01:05] <stefg> yup... but unknown device is not good
[01:05] <ompaul> harry, that comment does not relate to the issue at hand, you don't need user 0 abilities (those of root) to run apt-cache policy, when you do run that command what version does it tell you is installed?
[01:05] <goatpussy> yeah well i set my xorg.conf back to the default one
[01:06] <neutrinomass> !kernel > trafiq
[01:06] <goatpussy> but what i am missing here is, if this guy on the page already made the xorg.conf for asus V6J, why is it not working with my computer ?

[01:06] <jayson> E: The package jre needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.jayson@jays:~$
[01:06] <goatpussy> and is there anyway to get out of the whitescreen without having to do a hard reboot

[01:06] <GStubbs43> Hi everyone, Right now I have 4 partitions on my HD, 10gb for Windows, 8gb for Shared FAT32,  18gb for Linux, and 1.5gb for Swap, can I use a GParted LiveCD and make the FAT32 smaller and ext3 Ubuntu bigger?
[01:06] <theshibboleth> neutrinomass, as it turns out the phone shows up in the Device Manager. It just can't interact with it I guess
[01:06] <neutrinomass> !pastebin > jayson
[01:07] <ivanowitch> !pastebin
[01:07] <stefg> goatpussy: can you ctrl-alt-F1 to a console?
[01:07] <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)
[01:07] <jayson> sorry neutrinomass
[01:07] <ompaul> harry, you did not need to paste all that - please use paste.ubuntu-nl.org in future
[01:07] <goatpussy> stefg nope
[01:07] <ompaul> harry, all I wanted was the verstion :)
[01:08] <goatpussy> would be alot easier if i could
[01:08] <harry> ompaul: ok. wakarimashta
[01:08] <goatpussy> but now i cannot either
[01:08] <neutrinomass> theshibboleth: Not sure mate, sorry. I've never tried connecting a phone.... Maybe try google ? I know topyli (who usually hangs out in #ubuntu-offtopic) was especially proud of getting his phone to work (I think it was a Samsung but can't be too sure ) ....
[01:08] <steveire> does anyone else find themselves often typing ubnutu or ubunut and have to correct it?
[01:08] <neutrinomass> brad: Ok, you're missing a couple of lines from your sources.list
[01:08] <neutrinomass> !sources
[01:08] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[01:08] <jayson> if anyone knows how to fix this.. please talk to me.. I'd really really appreciate it... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19225
[01:09] <neutrinomass> !easysource > brad
[01:09] <WhiteNinja> harry.. u r sure he understood japanese? *smile
[01:09] <ompaul> harry, that is the latest version, so there is no issue with running that on standard hardware, are you having other issues
[01:09] <harry> ompaul: nope. the system was just freshly installed
[01:09] <stefg> goatpussy: so i'd write a new xorg.conf like mentioned before and see if it changes something. You could even try the driver from nvidia com and build it on your machine, if the one from 'restricted' does not work
[01:09] <neutrinomass> brad: You're missing some lines that refer to Release.gpg .... that will sort out your authentication issue. As to the connection problems, I'm not quite sure....maybe a firewall is up ?
[01:10] <brad> neutrinomass, What lines am I missing?
[01:10] <ompaul> harry, most strange
[01:10] <harry> ompaul: i couldlt see the mplayer on my menu. then i tried to run it on terminal. that was the message i got
[01:10] <neutrinomass> brad: Ooooops, sorry my bad. It's OK .... (you're not missing any lines )
[01:10] <bimberi> jayson: try 'sudo dpkg -r jre'
[01:11] <jayson> ok ill try :)
[01:11] <harry> WhiteNinja: i dont know for sure.  hehehehhe
[01:11] <jayson> hm
[01:11] <ompaul> harry, it should run the same
[01:12] <bimberi> hm?
[01:12] <neutrinomass> brad: Ok, you're missing only one. Try adding 'debhttp://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dappermainrestricted' to the top of the file ...
[01:12] <jayson> bimberi check this... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19226
[01:12] <harry> ompaul: i dont know for sure. but i installed the libcvss something". to play DVD's. then i installed mplayer
[01:12] <goatpussy> stefg : thanks for the help, i'll give it a go
[01:13] <vigilante_> Hi all, if interupted during apt-get install, (all dowloaded fine but not installed, how to I continue the install?
[01:13] <linuxd00d> BRB guys, Switching to Ubuntu
[01:13] <harry> ompaul: before running it i installed also  sudo apt-get install mplayer-fonts
[01:13] <stefg> vigilante_: simply issue the command again
[01:13] <WhiteNinja> harry... there is a howto in the wiki... for playing dvd.. even with strange codecs... maybe u r missing some libs or packages
[01:13] <ompaul> harry, that is not an issue
[01:13] <neutrinomass> harry: Programs should never raise segmentation faults. Whenever they do, it's a bug. It would be great if you would file a bug report ....
[01:13] <eitch0000_> how can I make an automatic ubuntu installation?
[01:14] <ompaul> harry, or at least should not be
[01:14] <jayson> i feel really scared haha.. first time i heard linux tell me that something is in very bad state
[01:14] <bbrazil> eitch0000_: define 'automaitc'
[01:14] <neutrinomass> eitch0000_: What do you mean ?
[01:14] <vigilante_> stefg: there are many packages, I originally tried to install them with adept
[01:14] <WhiteNinja> segmentation faults r mostly a hint for a defect hdd... try fschk
[01:15] <ompaul> harry, can you paste the full message in the pastebin (http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org) and throw the url here
[01:15] <bimberi> jayson: I have to say this is new territory for me :/  -  i'm not sure whether you should try to reinstall if you have jre.deb somewhere or just force its removal
[01:15] <bbrazil> WhiteNinja: bad memory actually, although usually it's bad code
[01:15] <harry> WhiteNinja what exactly do i need to type
[01:15] <eitch0000_> just have all settings on a disc, boot from PXE tell the installation where to get the settings and come back in an hour and the installation is over
[01:15] <jayson> haha ok.. thanks guys
[01:15] <eitch0000_> so I don't have to go through the installation...
[01:15] <jayson> im a noob here haha but i think it's my fault
[01:15] <neutrinomass> WhiteNinja: Um... how can a segmentation fault be an HD error? If it's a hardware issue, then my bets would be on an overheated/defective CPU ...
[01:15] <jayson> i did a Ctrl^C while running alien
[01:15] <jayson> ><
[01:15] <jayson> my bad i think
[01:15] <bbrazil> eitch0000_: look into fai.
[01:15] <jayson> then i installed the resultant .deb
[01:15] <eitch0000_> bbrazil: fai?
[01:16] <ompaul> harry, reboot and try the memory tester in the grub menu - press esc as the box it starting
[01:16] <harry> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19227
[01:16] <jayson> i didnt knw i can mess linux this bad.. haha
[01:16] <harry> ok
[01:16] <WhiteNinja> neutrinomass: trust me.. i am always playing with several hdd's in one box, formatting, changing sectors/headers for different os and so on... the most segmentation fault is a "wrong" formatted hdd
[01:16] <bbrazil> eitch0000_: see the fai-* packages. It's for automated installs
[01:17] <neutrinomass> jayson: If you want to mess up Linux, remove libc6 ;) You'll see what real failure looks like (to anybody reading this: Don't do it )
[01:17] <eitch0000_> bbrazil: thx
[01:17] <bbrazil> eitch0000_: that's pretty industrial stuff though
[01:17] <jayson> oh my neutrinomass
[01:17] <jayson> can you tell me the equivalent of that file in windows? :D
[01:17] <ompaul> 6% left in mirror making bbrazil
[01:18] <eitch0000_> bbrazil: thx
[01:18] <brad> neutrinomass, What's the two letter code for usa?
[01:18] <brad> us?
[01:18] <bbrazil> brad: us
[01:18] <bbrazil> jayson: user32.dll
[01:18] <jayson> anyway.. im having a good experience with ubuntu despite this "little" prob
[01:18] <neutrinomass> WhiteNinja: A segmentation fault is an error occurs when you try to address memory not in your address space (ok, my terminology is not good). You don't have access to memory address X, and you try to address it .... how can an HD provoke such behaviour? (Not meaning to be offensive, but I'm interested in an explanation for it .... )
[01:18] <bbrazil> neutrinomass: theoritically if you got bad code from the hdd, it could cause a segfault. Or if the kernel wasn't reseliant enough
[01:18] <trafiq> neutrinomass,  one more q ;) Dapper repo work with 2.6.16 ?
[01:19] <jayson> neutro
[01:19] <jayson> :)
[01:19] <jayson> in my pov its actually accessing ram that's not allocated for your program :)
[01:19] <jayson> ive tried that with link lists haha
[01:20] <WhiteNinja> neutrinomass: because the file is written on a space on the hdd, which is corrupted but not known to the os ... the result is the same as a wrong adress in memory
[01:20] <neutrinomass> trafiq: As I said earlier, anything beyond 2.6.15 is likely to cause issues. Having said that, I've heard of people happily running 2.6.16 on their Dapper boxes :) But no, I don't think you will find a source package for it in the repos.... try www.kernel.org
[01:20] <bimberi> jayson: i don't have any confident advice for you, apart from googling "Package is in a very bad inconsistent state" and see how others got out of it :|
[01:21] <trafiq> okey!:)
[01:21] <jayson> thanks bimberi i appreciate your effort :)
[01:21] <harry> ompaul:what now???
[01:22] <neutrinomass> bbrazil: Yes but 1. HDs remap bad sectors 2. A damaged HD will cause system lockups before anything (because it's talking nonsense to the kernel) 3. Filesystem inconsistencies would be corrected/diagnosed by the filesystem code ... not ? Now if none of these happens and you read code from the disk that happens to be executable and addresses garbage addresses, you must be damn unlucky ;)
[01:22] <brad> neutrinomass. Still won't work
[01:22] <harry> hello??
[01:23] <neutrinomass> bbrazil: I'm not saying it's not a possibility, but it's a highly unlikely one (then I'm get I'm quite likely to be wrong... )
[01:24] <bbrazil> neutrinomass: 1 yes, but they can only remap so many and it is'nt gaurenteed to catch everything. 2. I'm thinking magnetic media damage, not firmware damage 3. ext3 doesn't do that. Can I interest you in ZFS?
[01:24] <neutrinomass> brad: Did you do a 'sudo apt-get update' ? (or "Reload" in synaptic)
[01:24] <brad> Yeah
[01:24] <brad> When I refresh in synaptic the error is still there
[01:24] <harry> neutrinomass: can i ask you something??
[01:24] <neutrinomass> harry: Well  you just did, so I don't think a second question would be a problem :P
[01:25] <WyldChyld> hey
[01:25] <brad> For all the apt>rpmtalk that goes on i've never had an rpm repository randomly stop working
[01:25] <WyldChyld> any linux live distro for the ps2 out there?
[01:25] <sioux> hi
[01:25] <bbrazil> WyldChyld: check distrowatch.net
[01:25] <WyldChyld> did
[01:26] <WyldChyld> never found any
[01:26] <neutrinomass> bbrazil: Agreed on 1,2 . When my HDs fail, it usually shows up as filesystems ending up corrupt and being checked by ext3 (even without system crashes etc.). I wasn't implying that ext3 has a mechanism for checking whether specific files are corrupt..... I've heard of ZFS which seems to be neat btw ;)
[01:26] <sioux> how I do start swat? I have swat at inetd.conf and service but when I point at localhost:901 it is not reacble :-(
[01:27] <harry> neutrinomass: ubuntu 6.06 was just freshly installed right this day. and i runned the update manager and installed everything. after that my system went wrong. i cant run synaptic with my password. i cant run firestarter. all the icons on m y menu are gone. my mouse sensitivity is too fast. when erasing something i have to press backspace repeatedly
[01:28] <sioux> harry reinstall all
[01:28] <rlj> i have an issue where the left control key on my keyboard has stopped working (does nothing) (works fine in other os's). any ideas?
[01:28] <neutrinomass> harry: Sounds serious .... it happened right after installing the updates ?
[01:28] <harry> neutrinomass: you got that right. right now this is the 4th time i installed ubuntu again. right now. i dont feel like installing all updates
[01:28] <neutrinomass> harry: I take it that you didn't touch your sources.list or anything weird in general ...
[01:28] <linuxd00d> rlj: it may be that ur keyboard isnt on the right configuration
[01:29] <brad> Thanks for the help guys but i'm going back to fedora core
[01:29] <linuxd00d> brad: what fedora are you using
[01:29] <WhiteNinja> harry... have u installed plp-tools?... that was the package that did the same on my box, after deinstalling them (from safe-reboot at console) the box was right again
[01:29] <harry> neutrinomass: i touched it just to install my bunch of applications. i got the source from the source generator
[01:30] <Blackbeard> test
[01:30] <aicra> close
[01:30] <harry> WhiteNinja: no coz i dont know what that was
[01:30] <rlj> linuxd00d, yeah, might be but in that case, it's the fault of some app since i didn't change it manually
[01:30] <linuxd00d> oh right
[01:30] <harry> WhiteNinja: dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:191: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed.
[01:30] <harry> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg exited unexpectedly
[01:30] <linuxd00d> go to system preferences then keyboard
[01:30] <neutrinomass> harry: Are you sure you get sources.list for dapper and not for anything else? (Take a look at /etc/apt/sources.list and see if "dapper" is all over the place.... you don't want "edgy","breezy","hoary" or "warty" )
[01:31] <Blackbeard> hey guys... can anyone tell me if there are any nice online games for ubuntu ?
[01:32] <harry> WhiteNinja: thats the message i got after installing mplayer again just right now
[01:32] <rlj> linuxd00d, the keyboard config in xorg.conf is fine, correct pc105 model and se layout
[01:32] <WhiteNinja> blackbeard: go for the wiki... linux-games... there are lots of hints
[01:32] <rlj> linuxd00d, where's  the default console keyboard config again?
[01:32] <Blackbeard> year i read it @whiteninja
[01:32] <neutrinomass> harry: Generally speaking, you don't really need to mess with sources.list manually - you can add the repos from synaptic (just saying this so that you know in the future ) ...
[01:32] <linuxd00d> blackbeard: www.nexuiz.com
[01:33] <ompaul> harry let it test your ram - if that comes back okay then I would look at the hard drive - however I have to go now
[01:33] <linuxd00d> rlj: i will find out
[01:33] <Blackbeard> thank you linuxd00d i#l have a look
[01:34] <FlangeR> Hi all. Q: I have Ubuntu 5.10 installed, but I'm having repository problems. Synaptic says: (translated) Could not retrieve the status from  http://packages.freecontrib.org breezy/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/packages.freecontrib.org_plf_dists_breezy_main_binary-i386_Packages). Anyone have ideas what I'm doing wrong?
[01:34] <arto> I need some help with aticonfig to enable two monitors..
[01:34] <arto> !aticonfig
[01:34] <ubotu> I know nothing about aticonfig - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:34] <arto> !fglrx
[01:34] <neutrinomass> harry: To test your RAM, restart and choose "memtest86" from the boot menu ....
[01:34] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:34] <linuxd00d> rlj: the defaults are generics
[01:34] <harry> neutrinomass: i got everything just for dapper. i removed all that is listed from the original and pasted what i got from the source matic
[01:34] <linuxd00d> i was using 101-pckey
[01:34] <rlj> linuxd00d, it would seem unlikely to me that the keyboard model or regional layouts were messed up though
[01:34] <harry> neutrinomass: i've already tested my ram
[01:34] <WhiteNinja> harry... the fastest way for being sure to have no hardware-failures AND a correct system is to reinstall (u have said u have a fresh install)... try to change ur partitions-size, so the partition is new formatted.. then u will have a good ubuntu-system in one hour, or so
[01:35] <rlj> linuxd00d, since my swedish characters work without issues
[01:35] <rlj> linuxd00d, as well as pipe and lessthan and greaterthan which normally do nothing if not pc105 is set correctly
[01:35] <linuxd00d> blackbeard: it may be www.nexuiz.org, its a game built on quake engines
[01:35] <harry> WhiteNinja: its like your saying to install everything. i've already installed
[01:36] <linuxd00d> rlj: ok
[01:36] <WhiteNinja> sometimes thats the fastest way *sigh... if u r unsure what u have changed after install
[01:39] <dibblego> what is the typical way of installing Apache modules - there aren't any listed on the ubuntu repositories?
[01:39] <WhiteNinja> u can do a "sudo apt-get upgrade ... or update.. but it will be longer
[01:40] <Seveas> dibblego, look for libapache2-mod-*
[01:40] <cybernetic_core> hello
[01:40] <cybernetic_core> i got a question
[01:40] <dibblego> Seveas, excellent thanks
[01:40] <cybernetic_core> can i insert avatar(picture) on gaim messenger????
[01:40] <harry> neutrinomass: well what should i do now??
[01:41] <cybernetic_core> can i insert avatar(picture) on gaim messenger????
[01:41] <cybernetic_core> someone?
[01:41] <cybernetic_core> first time?
[01:41] <Seveas> cybernetic_core, tools  accounts
[01:41] <Seveas> pick account, click edit
[01:41] <harry> neutrinomass: does having 2 OS on my same harddisk is an issue??
[01:41] <Konstable> how can I resize my swap/ext3 partitions?
[01:41] <Seveas> and there's the place to add a picture
[01:41] <cybernetic_core> hold on
[01:42] <moogman> Hello. Does anyone know how I can remove the data on my MBR?
[01:42] <linuxd00d> format the hardrive XD
[01:42] <cybernetic_core> i have modify not edit
[01:42] <Seveas> linuxd00d, that doesn't help
[01:42] <Seveas> cybernetic_core, same thing ;)
[01:42] <cybernetic_core> ok
[01:42] <cybernetic_core> then?
[01:42] <Seveas> moogman, do you want something else in the mbr instead?
[01:42] <moogman> harry:, Many people
[01:42] <harry> moogman????
[01:42] <Angelic2`> moogman: why?
[01:42] <harry> moogman what many people??
[01:42] <moogman> harry, Sorry.. many people dual-boot, its not normally a problem
[01:43] <Seveas> cybernetic_core, you should see the 'Buddy Icon' setting there 
[01:43] <Seveas> click open to select another image
[01:43] <AidyMole> hey which / directories aren't needed for booting?
[01:43] <moogman> Seveas, frogzoo: Because I have two disks, both with an MBR
[01:43] <srikat> I want to install 32 bit ubuntu on top of my existing 64 bit. Do I need to first format the partition on which the current one resides?
[01:43] <WhiteNinja> harry... normally not... the safest way for having windows and linux/bsd or something like that is formatting the hdd with windows for the first primary partition with windows in it.. after that u can us the partition-tool of the other os
[01:43] <Seveas> AidyMole, depends on your definition of booting
[01:43] <moogman> Seveas, frogzoo: And I think my BIOS is choosing the wrong one, so I'm not getting any kernel updates etc.
[01:43] <Seveas> moogman, select your bios to pick the correct disk and it won't be in the way ;)
[01:44] <harry> WhiteNinja: thats exactly what i did
[01:44] <Seveas> moogman, alternatively you can play with dd to fill the first bytes of the disk with zeroes
[01:44] <cybernetic_core> thanx Seveas
[01:44] <moogman> Seveas, No. I just want to remove the old MBR.
[01:44] <cybernetic_core> i was blind
[01:44] <srikat> ..
[01:44] <srikat> I want to install 32 bit ubuntu on top of my existing 64 bit. Do I need to first format the partition on which the current one resides?
[01:44] <moogman> Seveas, That doesn't sound like a sane solution :-p
[01:44] <Seveas> srikat, yes
[01:44] <cybernetic_core> :D
[01:44] <frogzoo> moogman: be VERY careful you enter this exactly "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1"  if you omit the count, you'll scrub your disk :)
[01:44] <srikat> ok
[01:45] <Seveas> moogman, it's the only solution 
[01:45] <harry> WhiteNinja: i dont know whats wrong right now.  i only have 40gB harddisk and i have 2 OS
[01:45] <snk00sj> ok, so now i did the dpkg-reconfigure, and X boots up correctly
[01:45] <snk00sj> but when  use system>administration>resolutions, i can see 1280x... etc
[01:45] <snk00sj> but no 1400x1050, although i think the current resolution s right
[01:45] <AidyMole> Seveas: well the root partition of this comp is nearly full, but I don't have a livecd nor a cd writer, so I thought I'd mount some things on the current /home part
[01:45] <moogman> frogzoo: How did you know it was /dev/hda that I wanted to modify? ;)
[01:45] <snk00sj> in the xorg.conf is only 1 resolution, howcome i can select multiple in the GUI of screen resolutions ?
[01:45] <Seveas> AidyMole, if /home is on a sepearate partitio you can keep it
[01:46] <moogman> Seveas, frogzoo: I think what I wanted to do was remove the MBR on both disks, and then re-install grub.
[01:46] <moogman> moogman@eyebrow:~$ ls /boot; ls /boot/grub
[01:46] <moogman> abi-2.6.15-26-686  config-2.6.15-26-686  grub  initrd.img-2.6.15-26-686  System.map-2.6.15-26-686  vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-686
[01:46] <moogman> device.map
[01:46] <WhiteNinja> harry.. that would be enough for windows (like 10-20 gb) and the same for linux
[01:46] <frogzoo> moogman: seems like overkill
[01:46] <harry> WhiteNinja: i only assigned 7.5 GB for C:\ and another 7.5 for the other partition. to save my files. then i installed ubuntu choosing the option of "use the largest available space
[01:46] <moogman> frogzoo: I don't have a menu.lst in /boot/grub :S (Nor dies it boot up the 2.6.15-26 kernel)
[01:46] <moogman> *does
[01:47] <harry> WhiteNinja: so when loading windows i have 7.5GB in C and 7.5GB on D:
[01:47] <cybernetic_core> Seveas:  one more question? when i use proxy in kvirc it seems like it dont use it when to try to login
[01:47] <valdo1604> list
[01:47] <WhiteNinja> that looks normal...
[01:47] <frogzoo> moogman: from the grub command, 'find /boot/grub/menu.lst'   should figure out where your kernel's gone
[01:47] <Seveas> cybernetic_core, can't help you there, I don't use kvirc
[01:47] <AidyMole> Seveas: I'm no noob or so, I know exactly what to do, I simply need to know what / directories I can copy
[01:47] <Seveas> AidyMole, none
[01:47] <moogman> frogzoo: File not found
[01:48] <cybernetic_core> Seveas: what program do u recommend?
[01:48] <moogman> frogzoo: Or do you mean when booting?
[01:48] <frogzoo> moogman: from the grub command, 'find /etc/passwd'
[01:48] <cybernetic_core> x chat?
[01:48] <WhiteNinja> but it is normally a good idea to make partions of the new os manually, too... maybe u want a safe place for ur files with linux, too ;-)
[01:48] <moogman> frogzoo: File not found again :)
[01:48] <Seveas> cybernetic_core, I'm using xchat -- it's not bad
[01:48] <cybernetic_core> ok man
[01:48] <cybernetic_core> thanx
[01:48] <cybernetic_core> :)
[01:48] <moogman> frogzoo: Would I have to do 'root /dev/sda1' first?
[01:48] <frogzoo> moogman: remember where you mentioned reinstalling grub ;) ?
[01:48] <Seveas> AidyMole, /usr and /bin are arch-dependent
[01:48] <AidyMole> Seveas: jeezz, I'm sure I can copy var
[01:49] <linuxd00d> cybernetic_core: i use Konversation
[01:49] <Seveas> and /etc and /var depend on things installed in /bun and /usr
[01:49] <AidyMole> so the others are ok,except boot
[01:49] <Seveas> so only thing that's safe to copy is /home
[01:49] <frogzoo> moogman: actually, might be looking on the wrong disk maybes...
[01:49] <harry> WhiteNinja: how about trying to shut down my whole system. it might work right. then turn it on again and install mplayer??
[01:49] <AidyMole> Seveas: you don't understand
[01:49] <Seveas> /var especially can't be copied -- you'd f*ck up dpkg doing that
[01:49] <Seveas> AidyMole, no, you are trying to take shortcuts while ther are none
[01:49] <AidyMole> Seveas: I'm goind to mount them on the partition that currently is /home
[01:50] <moogman> frogzoo: Ok, so my /boot/ is on /dev/sda1. I have (/dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb1) as a LVM physical volume.
[01:50] <Seveas> AidyMole, ok, I give up -- you're beyond help :/
[01:50] <moogman> frogzoo: What I'm *thinking* is that it may be picking up the MBR of /dev/sdb or something.
[01:50] <WhiteNinja> try to reboot in recovery-mode, first... start ur x-session with startx manually... then look, if it works better (sometimes it does, starting the root-console before)... try to remove mplayer first before reinstall)
[01:50] <AidyMole> Seveas: no you
[01:51] <linuxd00d> oh guys, when i tell my machine to shut down, it gets to unmount LVM and seems to stall
[01:51] <Blackbeard> hmm can i unzip a zip file with linux ?
[01:51] <AidyMole> yes
[01:51] <linuxd00d> blackbeard yes
[01:51] <Seveas> Blackbeard, yes, with the unzip command
[01:51] <Blackbeard> like rar?
[01:51] <Gullstad> Whats a good application to burn *.img-files with?
[01:51] <linuxd00d> yes
[01:51] <Seveas> or with file-roller (gnome) or ark (kde)
[01:51] <AidyMole> is there an ubuntu channel where peeps aren't total noobs
[01:51] <Seveas> Gullstad, k3b i expect
[01:51] <frogzoo> moogman: try 'root (sd0,0)'  & see if find can pickup something
[01:52] <linuxd00d> aidymole, people have to start somewhere
[01:52] <Seveas> !attitude > AidyMole
[01:52] <AidyMole> linuxd00d: but it's annoying
[01:52] <EdwardFerrond> is there any maintenance required for ubuntu?
[01:52] <psycose> hi
[01:52] <frogzoo> AidyMole: if I wasn't a noob, I might know...
[01:53] <AidyMole> EdwardFerrond: no
[01:53] <linuxd00d> yeah, i have knowledge of linux but not to the extenet of some of these people
[01:53] <Seveas> EdwardFerrond, of course there is
[01:53] <mikearthur> AidyMole: did you just start being a pro then?
[01:53] <frogzoo> EdwardFerrond: mostly if you just enable the auto updates, things run pretty smoothly
[01:53] <AidyMole> mikearthur: I'm using linux for 2 years
[01:53] <Seveas> EdwardFerrond, things like security updates aren't installed automatically (although it's pretty close to automatic)
[01:53] <psycose> i've just noticed the file /etc/init.d/hdparm does not exist (dapper i686, hdparm installed) what about you ?
[01:53] <moogman> frogzoo: grub> root (sd0,0) - Error 23: Error while parsing number
[01:53] <AidyMole> and I've used tons of distro's incl gentoo
[01:53] <Seveas> AidyMole, so you're just a newbie by now 
[01:53] <moogman> frogzoo: grub> root (hd0,0)  - Error 21: Selected disk does not exist
[01:53] <AidyMole> I really know what I'm doing
[01:54] <EdwardFerrond> is there a registry like windows to be cleaned and maintained?
[01:54] <Seveas> AidyMole, anyway, read what ubotu read and change your attitude please
[01:54] <mikearthur> AidyMole: wooah, you used GENTOO, you must be a pro
[01:54] <moogman> frogzoo: Sorry to be a pain :)
[01:54] <Seveas> if you know what you're doing you don't need help from us
[01:54] <darkbutterfly> hi
[01:54] <EdwardFerrond> is there a registry like windows to be cleaned and maintained?
[01:54] <linuxd00d> people, when i shut down my laptop i get to the last process i think, unmounting LVM it says ok but does not shut down automatically?
[01:54] <Seveas> EdwardFerrond, no
[01:54] <linuxd00d> is this a problem or do i just shut my laptop off
[01:55] <darkbutterfly> i'm having some problems with easytag, does anyone have any suggestions?  it keeps crashing on me.
[01:55] <Seveas> linuxboy, does it say "will power off now" or something similar?
[01:55] <linuxd00d> no
[01:55] <AidyMole> mikearthur: I for sure know that /home isn't the only directory that doesn't need to be on the root partition, as Seveas thinks
[01:55] <laptop_> how do i activate tvout mode on ati mobility 7500?
[01:55] <Seveas> AidyMole, that's not what I think ...
[01:55] <EdwardFerrond> hmm, so I can just keep it on without maintenance, and it won't crash?
[01:55] <Seveas> AidyMole, read your question and my answers again please
[01:55] <mikearthur> AidyMole: what does then, pro
[01:56] <darkbutterfly> hello?
[01:56] <Seveas> EdwardFerrond, as long as you regularly install security updates: yes
[01:56] <darkbutterfly> can anyone help me?
[01:56] <linuxd00d> seveas: no it just get to the part i explained above
[01:56] <AidyMole> mikearthur: well that was what I was asking
[01:56] <moogman> frogzoo: Doofus error, ran grub as root, and 'root (hd0,0)' works, but not '(sd0,0)'
[01:56] <EdwardFerrond> okay, thanks :)
[01:56] <mikearthur> darkbutterfly: use a different version or different program
[01:56] <darkbutterfly> i'm new to linux and don't know what to use
[01:57] <Seveas> linuxd00d, I think you're bitten by a well known bug where it won't perform the actual shutdown. If you don't actually use LVM it
[01:57] <frogzoo> moogman: but you have no ide drives, they're all sata, correct?
[01:57] <Seveas> 's perfectly safe to cut the power
[01:57] <moogman> frogzoo: I can now see /grub/menu.lst from grub. Should I do install (hd0) ?
[01:57] <moogman> frogzoo: Yes, they are sata
[01:57] <darkbutterfly> i don't know what other programs do the same thing, i've tried cowbell, but it gives me some problems with some of the albums
[01:57] <Blackbeard> @linuxd00d : i extracted zip file but which file is like exe in windows?
[01:57] <linuxd00d> yeah
[01:58] <linuxd00d> blackbeard: yeah just run it
[01:58] <srikat> Blackbeard: .deb is like .exe/.msi AFAIK
[01:58] <Seveas> srikat, closer to .msi then .exe, .exe is not always an installer 
[01:58] <frogzoo> moogman: if it was me, I'd boot from here
[01:58] <srikat> right
[01:58] <Blackbeard> hmm.. there is no deb file
[01:58] <srikat> Blackbeard: did you download a source file?
[01:58] <linuxd00d> seveas, cheers so i dont have to worry if i f*ck up my machine
[01:59] <WhiteNinja> for my opinion the equivalent to .exe is .sh :-)
[01:59] <moogman> frogzoo: Right, just incase it messes up, I wouldn't have saved the changes. Cheers, be back in a bit :)
[01:59] <Seveas> WhiteNinja, not really, .sh is more like .bat
[01:59] <psycose> I don't have any /etc/init.d/hdparm (dapper i686, hdparm installed) any tips ?
[01:59] <Blackbeard> no not only sources
[01:59] <Seveas> Blackbeard, what are you trying to install?
[01:59] <Blackbeard> there are some exe files... but i think they don't work
[01:59] <WhiteNinja> Seveas: u r right... my mistake :-(
[02:00] <Blackbeard> nexuiz
[02:00] <linuxd00d> Blackbeard: have you downloaded the right version for linux or windows?
[02:00] <Seveas> Blackbeard, ah - you're going to have to compile that
[02:00] <laptop_> how do i activate tvout mode on ati radeon mobility 7500?
[02:00] <Seveas> Blackbeard, /join #ubuntu-classroom -- I'll guide you through it in that room, it's a bit less crowded
[02:00] <linuxd00d> Seveas: i thought that nexuiz was already precompiled
[02:01] <Blackbeard> yes thank you
[02:02] <SaTaN`> hello @ all
[02:02] <SaTaN`> how can i install irrsi?
[02:02] <SaTaN`> or where can i get it.. :)
[02:03] <WhiteNinja> !irrsi
[02:03] <ubotu> I know nothing about irrsi - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[02:04] <SaTaN`> ???
[02:04] <Seveas> SaTaN`, sudo apt-get install irssi
[02:04] <mikearthur> anyone know which package I'd find the mach64 kernel DRM module?
[02:05] <SaTaN`> ups sorry
[02:05] <SaTaN`> hehe
[02:05] <Seveas> SaTaN`, please note that irssi does not work in hell - it's too warm there
[02:05] <mikearthur> Seveas: lol
[02:06] <me> does anyone know how i can change the desktop resolution in kde?
[02:06] <WhiteNinja> meanwhile demons r "on" earth... it is hotter there *sigh :-)

[02:09] <cyber_brain_mfkg> is there on the web some kind of protocol for free SMS???
[02:09] <fyrestrtr> cyber_brain_mfkg: no, sms costs money.
[02:09] <cyber_brain_mfkg> hm...
[02:10] <fyrestrtr> damn, just found out I have $210 in traffic violations :(
[02:10] <cyber_brain_mfkg> my telephone company alows me to send 5 SMS messages during one day
[02:10] <cyber_brain_mfkg> over the internet
[02:11] <cyber_brain_mfkg> so i wondered if there is something similar?
[02:11] <Seveas> fyrestrtr, err.. bad :/
[02:11] <Seveas> cyber_brain_mfkg, not really
[02:11] <cyber_brain_mfkg> Seveas: ?
[02:12] <fyrestrtr> not that bad really, seeing as there is no point system in Kuwait, but yeah, I have to pay it. Crap.
[02:12] <shinobi2> what do you guys use for file manager?
[02:12] <fyrestrtr> they are from May -- speeding on the way to work.
[02:12] <Seveas> shinobi2, nautilus and good'ol coreutils (cp, mv, rm)
[02:13] <shinobi2> Seveas: *sigh* .... no mc? emelFM?
[02:13] <Seveas> mc sometimes
[02:13] <Seveas> mc plays nicer with ssh than nautilus does
[02:14] <shinobi2> where can i get mc? it did not come with distro
[02:14] <a2xm> hi all, what is the best VCD player for gnome?
[02:14] <Seveas> shinobi2, you can install it with synaptic or apt-get
[02:14] <Seveas> a2xm, totem, vlc and mplayer are popular
[02:14] <shinobi2> apt-get install mc ; didnot work
[02:15] <fyrestrtr> hrmm, 3ddesk is pretty ... ermm, useles.s
[02:15] <Seveas> !universe > shinobi2 # look at what ubotu sends you shinobi2 
[02:15] <Seveas> fyrestrtr, quite
[02:15] <Seveas> better use compiz if you want that kind of thing
[02:15] <fyrestrtr> yeah but compiz + ati = headaches
[02:16] <Seveas> fyrestrtr, works fine for me 
[02:16] <fyrestrtr> plus, for some unexplained reason -- it just stopped working on my nvidia box -- complaining now that it can't find the composite extension.
[02:16] <fyrestrtr> Seveas: you must not be on a laptop then.
[02:16] <a2xm> Seveas: ubuntu 6.06 comes incl. mplayer right? but not for me.
[02:17] <Seveas> a2xm, applications  add/remove
[02:17] <Seveas> there you can find mplayer
[02:17] <Seveas> fyrestrtr, actually I am on a laptop
[02:17] <Seveas> radeon mobility 9600
[02:17] <fyrestrtr> its very unstable on my machine (ati x300). Random lockups (yes, I tried all the fixes).
[02:18] <fyrestrtr> 0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M22 [Radeon Mobility M300] 
[02:18] <a2xm> Seveas: right, on my add/remove, mplayer already checked mark. but i coundn't find it on the menu. weird?
[02:18] <fyrestrtr> a2xm: did you install it?
[02:18] <srikat> a2xm: what happens when you type "mplayer" in terminal?
[02:19] <darth_gimp> Where can I ask about specific software?
[02:19] <Seveas> a2xm, odd, try launching it from the terminal (gmplayer or mplayer)
[02:19] <a2xm> Seveas: command not found for both
[02:19] <fyrestrtr> darth_gimp: on that software's website or channel (if available)
[02:19] <fyrestrtr> a2xm: you need to install it first.
[02:19] <fyrestrtr> !info mplayer
[02:19] <ubotu> mplayer: The Ultimate Movie Player For Linux. In repository multiverse, is extra. Version 2:0.99+1.0pre7try2+cvs20060117-0ubuntu8 (dapper), package size 3265 kB, installed size 7916 kB
[02:19] <Seveas> a2xm, odd -- try sudo apt-get install mplayer
[02:20] <darth_gimp> I'll try the Off-topic Channel
[02:20] <a2xm> Seveas: not like this when using 5.10 though
[02:21] <a2xm> Seveas, fyrestrtr: sudo apt-get install mplayer

[02:33] <bdfg> could anyone tell me if is it possible now to install linux in a FAT32 partition?
[02:33] <SonicChao> linuxd00d: Can I install it from sudo apt-get install?
[02:33] <jdseek> where do I go for wine help, I am stuck between a rock and a hard place with programs I need for work
[02:33] <linuxd00d> im not to sure
[02:34] <SonicChao> linuxd00d: alright I'll try it.

[02:36] <steveire> what system? is it ld?
[02:36] <goatpussy> i don't have further debug information, so i don't have any lead where to look
[02:36] <linuxd00d> sonicchaos: ok
[02:36] <steveire> bdfg: It depends what you mean by on a fat32 partition
[02:36] <bdfg> I mean...

[02:37] <jdseek> i guess i have to go back to suse 10
[02:37] <bdfg> I have a fat32 extended partition with 3 logical partitions inside it
[02:37] <bdfg> i intend to install ubunt on one of those logical partitions
[02:37] <bdfg> is it possible?
[02:37] <jdseek> there isn't anyone in #wine to help me
[02:37] <void^> bdfg: yes.
[02:38] <steveire> yes

[02:38] <SonicChao> jdseek: Use #winehq
[02:38] <jdseek> ok, thanks
[02:39] <bdfg> steveire: yes
[02:39] <jereth_da_lion> its saying libartsco
[02:39] <steveire> well if you remove one of the logical partitions and leave it as unpartitioned space, you can let the installer install ubuntu on that free space

[02:40] <EdwardFerrond> use xine if it is legal in your country
[02:40] <steveire> it will sort out the partitions for you. I think it will make a swap partition for you.
[02:40] <darth_gimp> steveire, I alreadty have a full install of Ubuntu though
[02:40] <antoniojulio>

[02:41] <Decadent> reamapping??
[02:41] <EdwardFerrond> use dosbox
[02:41] <Nikoladze> dosbox is slow

[02:43] <EdwardFerrond> anyone know what program to use to burn an .avi to dvd?
[02:44] <tanath> EdwardFerrond: k3b is good, though it's a kde app
[02:44] <EdwardFerrond> i donno how to use k3b to encode .avi to dvd, help
[02:44] <tanath> EdwardFerrond: you might want to convert to the dvd format if you wanna play it on most dvd players though
[02:44] <steveire> JaMiNkLe: Try booting with the recovery option. That will boot with you logged in as root
[02:44] <Bonkers_> !ipod
[02:44] <darth_gimp> No go?
[02:44] <ubotu> For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPodHowto
[02:45] <tanath> heh
[02:45] <steveire> then you can type users or something to see the users
[02:45] <tanath> EdwardFerrond: k3b doesn't encode
[02:45] <tanath> EdwardFerrond: try ffmpeg first
[02:45] <echodrive> gday, i want to make an iso from some files,, any help on how to do this would be appreciated,, (dapper)
[02:45] <EdwardFerrond> okay, thanks :)
[02:45] <Bonkers_> grr
[02:46] <shinobi2> the repositories in synaptic shows java 1.4 which is old.  i ve already updated apt-get.  anyone know how to get java 1.5 for dapper? or i'll just have to download the binary from sun?
[02:46] <steveire> darth_gimp: Try looking at the grub documentation
[02:46] <tanath> EdwardFerrond: it's command-line though
[02:46] <steveire> I think I might have seen something there about what you want to do.
[02:46] <steveire> I really should shave
[02:46] <darth_gimp> steveire, Where?
[02:46] <Bonkers_> hey can anyone help me with banshee, i have my ipod shown on desktop and in bamnshee, but i dont know how to add and remove files from it, also i dont have a synchronize button which i think i need
[02:47] <steveire> http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/index.html
[02:47] <darth_gimp> steveire, Thanks
[02:47] <EdwardFerrond> hmm, but it can encode to dvd?
[02:48] <arto> Pleaseeeeeeeeeee someone. Just need one info. I have made my aticonfig dual head work.. now it shows my desktop on the computer and on the TV too.. however, when I play video on totem the video appears as black..!! what can I do?
[02:48] <Decadent> FurryNemesis, unfortunately my shortcuts don't seem to work even when i try to reamap them, i've setted alt+s to open a terminal but it doesn't work
[02:48] <tanath> EdwardFerrond: do something like 'ffmpeg -i video.avi -target dvd video.mpg'
[02:48] <Decadent> any other suggestions??
[02:48] <EdwardFerrond> hmm...
[02:48] <tanath> EdwardFerrond: then you can burn that file
[02:48] <FurryNemesis> Decadent, can you boot to a previous kernel where your mappings are intact?
[02:48] <EdwardFerrond> how do you burn the .mpg to a dvd
[02:48] <Decadent> yes
[02:49] <Decadent> everything wokred properly
[02:49] <echodrive> need ISO creator anybody?
[02:49] <Decadent> i restarted my gdm
[02:49] <Decadent> for the xgl
[02:49] <Decadent> and now they dont work
[02:49] <Decadent> :S
[02:49] <tanath> EdwardFerrond: with something like k3b or gnomebaker, though i've had issues with gnomebaker not burning things properly
[02:49] <Decadent> everything else works perfectly
[02:49] <EdwardFerrond> k3b can burn a .mpg to dvd?
[02:50] <EdwardFerrond> ah...
[02:50] <EdwardFerrond> okay i found it
[02:50] <EdwardFerrond> thanks :)
[02:50] <tanath> EdwardFerrond: k3b is a program for burning things to CDs, DVDs, whatever
[02:50] <nikin> hy all
[02:50] <moogman> I have found my grub problem, I think. /boot is a directory off /, rather than mounted to /dev/sda1
[02:50] <arto> Pleaseeeeeeeeeee someone. Just need one info. I have made my aticonfig dual head work.. now it shows my desktop on the computer and on the TV too.. however, when I play video on totem the video appears as black..!! what can I do?
[02:50] <shinobi2> can my current ubuntu run kde desktop?
[02:50] <Nikoladze> tanath: I'm running the official build now and that still doesn't work. when I click on the accept terms button nothing happens, not even that yellow bar saying its blocking something
[02:50] <nikin> just neting with live CD :D SMC wlancard sux, but have an other one :D
[02:50] <moogman> So it boots up correctly, from the grub side. But when I try to add a new kernel, it writes the new kernel to the "wrong" /boot/
[02:50] <shinobi2> or i have to install brand new kubuntu?
[02:51] <tanath> Nikoladze: i think i remember that happening to me too... i believe i just restarted it a few times and it worked...
[02:51] <tanath> Nikoladze: or i may have uninstalled another extension to get it working... i don't recall :/
[02:51] <moogman> The problem I'm having now, is that, when I try to mount it says "mount: /dev/sda1 already mounted or /boot busy". /dev/sda1 is not mounted, and /boot is empty.
[02:52] <tanath> Nikoladze: actually, i think i did uninstall an extension to make it work. don't remember which one though... what others do you have?
[02:53] <Nikoladze> tanath: stumble, adblock, filterset g updater, english (gb) language pack
[02:53] <shinobi2> moogman: do you have ubuntu on laptop or on desktop? my main drive is called /dev/sda instead of /dev/hda
[02:53] <tanath> Nikoladze: hmm. i have those too, except for stumble, so it's not those.. try just restarting it a few times
[02:53] <dyn-afk> shinobi2 has a sata drive?
[02:54] <Nikoladze> tanath: right, it wasn't anything to do with java was it?
[02:54] <shinobi2> dyn-afk: oh.. yeah, i think my lappy has a sata drive
[02:54] <vigilante_> I just tried glxinfo, showed gears spinning but no fps, how do I get the fps to display?
[02:54] <moogman> shinobi2: Yes, I have a sata drive. Well, two.
[02:55] <shinobi2> dyn-afk: that's according to the pdf file i dug up for this lappy.  but i never open it to verify if indeed it's a sata
[02:55] <cf12345> !find ati
[02:55] <space_> hi
[02:55] <ubotu> Found: foomatic-db, foomatic-db-engine, foomatic-db-gimp-print, foomatic-db-gutenprint, foomatic-db-hpijs (and 114 others)
[02:55] <tanath> Nikoladze: no. actually, i do recall that i used a new profile...
[02:55] <dyn-afk> I still have pata drives but I knew linux recognizes sata and usb sticks as if they were scsi drives
[02:55] <dyn-afk> *know
[02:55] <deepak> what is the URL for the iso image for the universe repository for dapper?
[02:55] <tanath> Nikoladze: sorry i can't remember what i did... you gotta get some dialog to pop up when it starts...
[02:55] <moogman> vigilante_: glxgears -iacknowledgethatthistoolisnotabenchmark
[02:56] <Nikoladze> tanath: I don't suppose you could just send me the .xpi file could you
[02:56] <zsh> !glxgears
[02:56] <ubotu> To display the FPS in glxgears, run 'glxgears -printfps' in a terminal.
[02:56] <tanath> Nikoladze: o.O i got it from google... isn't that where you got yours?
[02:56] <ubuntu> hey ppl
[02:56] <moogman> Pfft, -iacknowledgethatthistoolisnotabenchmark is more fun :)
[02:56] <ubuntu> can someone say, how can i delete a windows partition, or format it from ubuntu livecd ?
[02:57] <tanath> ubuntu: gparted
[02:57] <Nikoladze> tanath: yeah, thats where I'm trying to get it but it won't let me, I'll figure it out
[02:57] <vigilante_> moogman: yeah, I know its not a complete benchmark, but it gives me something to go off of
[02:57] <tanath> Nikoladze: wait, you can't even get the xpi??
[02:57] <vigilante_> thx zsh
[02:57] <tanath> Nikoladze: i thought you already had it installed
[02:57] <elias_> mail aliaes should be in /etc/aliases right. I have a file /etc/aliasesz? What about that one?

[02:58] <impulze> tanath,
[02:58] <Nikoladze> tanath: nope, on the d/l page with the terms and conditions I click "Agree and Install" and nothing happens, it just says done in the status bar, no yellow bar telling me its being blocked or anything
[02:58] <elias_> moogman: and /etc/aliasesz ? what about the z?
[02:58] <impulze> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13 Permission denied)

[02:59] <moogman> elias_: No idea, sorry. What's inside the file?
[02:59] <tanath> Nikoladze: ok, one sec
[02:59] <elias_> moogman: same as should be in aliases but aliases is not there.
[02:59] <tanath> Nikoladze: did you click the "If you click 'Agree and Install' and nothing happens....  " link under that? :P
[02:59] <nikin> i think i fel in love :D
[03:00] <tanath> Nikoladze: try this: wget 'http://dl.google.com/firefox/google-browsersync.xpi'
[03:00] <Nikoladze> tanath: yeah, its not the thing where you have to add it to your list of allowed sites, I even went to d/l another extension so I could add tools.google.com
[03:00] <tanath> Nikoladze: in terminal
[03:00] <moogman> impulze: Try it again.
[03:00] <tanath> Nikoladze: you can add sites in options you know
[03:00] <Nikoladze> tanath: already tried that, downloads prod_unavailable.html instead
[03:01] <space_> I use Ubuntu 6.06 but i have used ubuntu 5.10 before in my thinkpad, and i had network-manager-gnome(nm-applet). With 5.10, it was good, i could choose from a list of wireless networks, but since i switched to 6.06, it has not worked, it does not show the wifi networks, and show "no connection", even though i'm online. Could you offer a workable application, which shows the all available network?
[03:01] <elias_> moogman: and there is a binary file /etc/aliases.db, how does this one get created?
[03:01] <moogman> impulze: Try running 'ps -ef | grep [a] pt' at a command line. You cannot have more than one apt program running at the same time
[03:01] <Nikoladze> tanath: I couldn't find it in options 8 - \

[03:02] <Howitzer_> Hi, i'd like a way to on startup, have a few programs opened in several workspaces..
[03:02] <SonicChao> !pastebin
[03:02] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[03:02] <Howitzer_> impulze, running Synaptic?

[03:02] <SonicChao> impulze: Please use a pastebin.
[03:03] <Nikoladze> elias_: what type of laptop do you have? I had trouble with the wireless button on mine and that was because I needed the right drivers (bloody ipw2100)
[03:03] <tanath> Nikoladze: Content > Exceptions (2nd line)
[03:03] <ernoe> impulze, try: sudo apt-get install gparted
[03:03] <moogman> elias_: Run "sudo newaliases" - the /etc/aliases.db file is the database that gets read by postfix. This is created from your /etc/aliases file
[03:03] <moogman> elias_: So every time you edit /etc/aliases, run "sudo newaliases" to refresh your /etc/aliases.db file
[03:03] <Nikoladze> tanath: thanks

[03:10] <SonicChao> Why do we even want NTFS writing?
[03:10] <stefg> !fuse
[03:10] <Paladine> !restricted
[03:10] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse

[03:10] <SonicChao> I don't see what good it would do writing to a commercial partition.
[03:10] <SonicChao> =(
[03:10] <impulze> moogman,  i dont need to think twice
[03:10] <SonicChao> But thats just my opinion.

[03:11] <impulze> its runnin already
[03:11] <moogman> impulze: That's the Gnome partition editor, so you can remove/create/edit partitions from there.
[03:11] <abo> how do I ask for flashplugin to be reinstalled, or how can I make sure it is properly installed?

[03:15] <`spider> hi? how do I strat ubuntu installation process and does it come with GRUB or similar?
[03:16] <moogman> a2xm: You'll have to do it a few times, for the different movie types
[03:16] <moogman> a2xm: Or you could just remove totem :p
[03:16] <nikin> nilesh: did it work?
[03:17] <a2xm> moogman: i can't paly VCD with either both
[03:17] <moogman> a2xm: You should be able to play vcds with mplayer, at least.

[03:27] <Awesome-o2000> hey I wanted to give you guys some thanks for the distro, Im very impressed, so far so good and I'm half tempted to migrate my poor father over to ubuntu, cept he's so damn windows dependant

[03:27] <srikat> Awesome-o2000: posting the same in the forum would be useful for others about to decide
[03:28] <Awesome-o2000> srikat, what forum?
[03:28] <srikat> www.ubuntuforums.org
[03:28] <relux> What are we deciding?
[03:28] <Awesome-o2000> srikat, im usually a gentoo user. I love gentoo but I simply lost patience
[03:28] <necromancyblack> ok, my basic problem is trying to run a game which keeps saying it cannot open a consol terminal, and if I try running with sudo it says @Video mode 320x240 unavailable. Exiting..@
[03:28] <moogman> Awesome-o2000: FWIW, I migrated my parents to Ubuntu, and it works fine for them.
[03:28] <a2xm> moogman: sorry, typo.. but here: Playing /media/cdrom0/MPEGAV/AVSEQ01.DAT.

[03:28] <necromancyblack> I have no idea how to manage this

[03:29] <moogman> a2xm: Try  mplayer -ao null /media/cdrom0/MPEGAV/AVSEQ01.DAT
[03:30] <Awesome-o2000> `spider, pop the XP disk in, boot into rescue mode, do fixboot and fixmbr and reboot
[03:30] <srikat> `spider: perhaps booting via XP disk and fixmbr?
[03:30] <moogman> a2xm: Don't wory about that LIRC error, that just means it couldn't find a remote control.
[03:30] <`spider> I don't have an XP CD :)
[03:31] <`spider> anything else
[03:31] <srikat> `spider: then may be you can edit grub so you directly land in windows when you start the comp
[03:31] <`spider> with what command?
[03:32] <`spider> Yay, I'm 10 % of Ubuntu DOwnload :)
[03:32] <a2xm> moogman: the same
[03:32] <srikat> `spider: search for 'editing grub' in the forums.
[03:33] <`spider> ubuntu forums?
[03:33] <srikat> `spider: the 2nd result is probably what you are lookin for: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=225751&highlight=editing+grub
[03:33] <srikat> yes
[03:33] <moogman> a2xm: Try  mplayer -vo null /media/cdrom0/MPEGAV/AVSEQ01.DAT
[03:33] <moogman> a2xm: With -vo instead of -ao
[03:34] <`spider> Can I use Ubuntu on a old Toshiba notebook with 32 or 64 MB RAM
[03:35] <Awesome-o2000> `spider, xubuntuy
[03:35] <Awesome-o2000> `spider, xubuntu
[03:35] <Miek> yeah, xubuntu would be more suitable
[03:35] <a2xm> moogman: it's only for .dat file... no problem with .avi, .mpg
[03:35] <`spider> and it's mostly the same
[03:35] <moogman> a2xm: I wonder if you try 'mplayer /media/cdrom0'
[03:36] <ce3c> ^ohoel ?
[03:36] <^ohoel> are ports automatically opened whenI need them or do I have to make sure ports are open myself?
[03:36] <^ohoel> hullo ce3c
[03:36] <a2xm> moogman: same
[03:36] <^ohoel> hows your net going? ;p
[03:37] <a2xm> moogman: btw, can i remove totem?
[03:37] <ce3c> ^ohoel: wireless is working :)
[03:37] <ce3c> but now I've got a new problem ...
[03:37] <^ohoel> ce3c: great news :)
[03:37] <ce3c> yeah :P
[03:37] <moogman> a2xm: Yes, the package is most likely called totem-gstreamer. But mplayer doesn't use totem
[03:37] <ce3c> ^ohoel: you did ever try to install counter-strike?
[03:37] <a2xm> moogman: i just don't like totem and save my space
[03:38] <^ohoel> ce3c: no, as a id fan that would be inappropriate of me ;p
[03:38] <ce3c> oh, anyway, my graphics aren't good...
[03:38] <ce3c> is there something so i can enhance them?
[03:38] <moogman> a2xm: Ok, one last thing to try. mplayer -vcd 0 -cdrom-device /dev/cdrom
[03:39] <`spider> Is Xubuntu stable ?
[03:39] <dmsantam> `spider, stable is subjectivfe
[03:39] <dmsantam> s/f//;

[03:40] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[03:40] <a2xm> moogman: so,  it's not mplayer -vcd 0 -cdrom-device /dev/cdrom0 ?
[03:40] <`spider> I have Linux Knoppix and it is the most unstable thing; that is why I'm asking
[03:41] <dmsantam> `spider, there is no answer for you. the best thing to do is to give it a go :)
[03:41] <moogman> a2xm: It's pointing to the raw cdrom device, which is likely to be /dev/cdrom. If you do 'ls /dev/cd*', then it will tell you which device to use
[03:41] <dmsantam> `spider, i claim its stable, at least the parts that i use
[03:41] <^ohoel> ce3c: what driver are you using?
[03:41] <moogman> a2xm: If you only have one CD rom drive, it will be /dev/cdrom
[03:41] <^ohoel> ce3c: ie what card?
[03:42] <^ohoel> ce3c: you might want to check this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/hardware.html
[03:42] <`spider> while installing I wnat it to delete WIndows 98 make itself the main OS
[03:42] <jpatota> when i download linux-source using apt, does it unpack the source tarball or do i have to do that myself
[03:43] <a2xm> moogman: still can't.. but here: -vcd N is deprecated, use vcd://N instead

[03:50] <Miek> mpathy: by default it gives sudo privilages to the "admin" group, rather than your specific user
[03:50] <rpedro> mpathy: anyone on the 'admin' group can use sudo
[03:51] <niruana> i tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo

[03:51] <niruana> i have dapper so i did go to the debian website, but i cant get it working
[03:51] <mpathy> Miek: rpedro: Okay thx

[03:56] <shadeofgrey> okay guys i need help with something
[03:56] <shadeofgrey> how the hell do i decompress a .rar archive that has over 128 seperate .rar archives?
[03:56] <niruana> can somebody help me with WPA-PSK ?
[03:56] <shadeofgrey> it starts out as a .tar
[03:57] <moogman> shadeofgrey: Most probably, if you try to unrar the first one (file.rar or file.r00), then the unrar program will pick them all up
[03:58] <frying_fish> shadeofgrey: unrar the first archive
[03:58] <frying_fish> so either unrar x foo.rar or unrar x foo.part1.rar or something like that
[03:59] <Masticor1> Is there a program that turns wma to mp3 ?
[03:59] <shadeofgrey> okay but whats the commandline command for unpacking a rar?
[04:00] <shadeofgrey> i downloaded the .rar decompressor in synaptyic but i cant figure out how the commandline srtructure works
[04:00] <moogman> shadeofgrey: "unrar"

[04:02] <tuxtux> !ati
[04:02] <moogman> MaxL: May I suggest you try running the live disk, that will give you a good indication of what hardware is supported, and what isn't
[04:02] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:02] <Dr_Willis> axisys,  under gnome - i thinkthe printscreen key does that.
[04:02] <MaxL> moogman, Live disk?
[04:02] <zsh> has anyone tried installing gtk on badger
[04:03] <MaxL> moogman, I have not even purchased the item yet, I'm just wondering if it will work in Ubuntu,cause I don't wanna buy a pad and find out I gotta bring it back.
[04:03] <dcode> does parted on the livecd support resizing of hfsplus partitions?
[04:03] <axisys> Dr_Willis: that did it thnx

[04:04] <MaxL> Dr_Willis: What the heck is windows?

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

[04:18] <axisys> GStubbs43: is there a gnome version of that?
[04:18] <arto> HazemMohamed, I have sent you the email
[04:18] <zzy> how do i do that
[04:18] <GStubbs43> No, but I have it running on Gnome and it works fine. Most kde apps can be run on Gnome anyway.
[04:18] <Snake> Does ubuntu take advantage of technology like hyper threading?
[04:19] <mjr> Snake, yes
[04:19] <a2xm> which one is better for ubuntu: gnomebaker or k3b?
[04:19] <moogman> axisys: Gimp will let you do what you want
[04:19] <axisys> moogman: oh yeah.. i remember now.. thnx
[04:20] <frying_fish> a2xm: whats your environment, gnome or kde?
[04:20] <a2xm> frying_fish: gnome
[04:20] <space_> zzy: in command line: cat /etc/fstab
[04:20] <frying_fish> then I would go with gnomebaker
[04:21] <a2xm> frying_fish: are both support multi sessions?
[04:21] <Snake> Is there any reasons on why ubuntu would read my 2.8 ghz CPU (which I have overclocked to 3.6) as a 1.6 ghz?

[04:21] <frying_fish> think so, I just said gnomebaker on the fact its gtk, not qt
[04:21] <frying_fish> and that will integrate better
[04:22] <mboso> what version of xserver-xorg-core are dapper people running?
[04:22] <a2xm> frying_fish: last time as i remember using gnomebaker it can't support multi sessions

[04:22] <frying_fish> a2xm: no harming in testing it out again
[04:23] <frying_fish> Jezza: never heard of graveman
[04:23] <a2xm> frying_fish: thanks ;-)
[04:23] <Snake> Is there any reasons on why ubuntu would read my 2.8 ghz CPU (which I have overclocked to 3.6) as a 1.6 ghz?

[04:26] <erider> jpatota: I'm type the command in the terminal
[04:27] <jpatota> Paddy_EIRE: i would go with the manufacturers hdd tests first
[04:27] <mboso> If i'm running edgy, and want to downgrade just one package, do i have to put dapper in my source.list file?
[04:27] <|x|a0g3r|> hey... i juz can't get online with my ubuntu system
[04:27] <shadeofgrey> frying_fish:  yeah im beginning to think sol myself
[04:27] <frying_fish> mboso: bad plan.
 how would i go ablout that
[04:27] <jpatota> erider: you can just close the terminal window and everything will be reset
[04:27] <UbuntuMonk> Hi everyone
[04:27] <jpatota> Paddy_EIRE: who makes the drive
[04:27] <frying_fish> Paddy_EIRE: go to the manufacturers website, acquire the diagnostic tools and run them
[04:27] <luvbabe> hiya
[04:27] <Snake> Is there any reasons on why ubuntu would read my 2.8 ghz CPU (which I have overclocked to 3.6) as a 1.6 ghz?
[04:28] <Paddy_EIRE> Maxtor
[04:28] <FurryNemesis> Can anyone help me mounting my Nokia n70? the device manager can see it but I've forgotten what to do next......
[04:28] <frying_fish> Paddy_EIRE: then get powermax from maxtors website.
kk, nice one
[04:28] <shadeofgrey> hey thats a question for everybody speaking of edgy....
[04:29] <shadeofgrey> heres the deal
[04:29] <HazemMohamed> arto: it is too slow to send please be patient
[04:29] <UbuntuMonk> can someone point me to a resource for learning Ubuntu from the scratch step by step
[04:29] <erider> jpatota: Ok thanks
[04:29] <shadeofgrey> i had windows xp on my primary disk, and test versions of dapper on my third disk
[04:29] <jpatota> UbuntuMonk: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper
[04:29] <arto> HazemMohamed, no problem.. if you wish, you could send me the link from where I could download
[04:29] <frogzoo> !docs > UbuntuMonk
[04:29] <frogzoo> UbuntuMonk: also, system -> about gnome/ubuntu
 PowerMax is windows only
[04:30] <HazemMohamed> arto: the link has gone, it was on  a forum that was hacked, just wait
[04:30] <shadeofgrey> the third disk still has old builds of dapper on it but when i set the bootloader for my primary install of ubuntu which is now replacing windows on my primary disk -- how do i go about installing edgy on my third drive without putting a bootloader on the third disk?
[04:30] <frying_fish> Paddy_EIRE: there is a cd .iso that you can boot
[04:30] <arto> HazemMohamed, ok.. no problem.
[04:30] <jpatota> Paddy_EIRE: http://www.maxtor.com/portal/site/Maxtor/menuitem.3c67e325e0a6b1f6294198b091346068/?channelpath=%2Fen_us%2FSupport%2FSoftware+Downloads%2FTop+Downloads&downloadID=113
[04:30] <frying_fish> Paddy_EIRE: Maxblast is windows only, powermax is a bootable cd
[04:30] <frogzoo> Paddy_EIRE: d/l & install/configure smartmontools
[04:30] <frogzoo> !info smartmontools
[04:30] <ubotu> smartmontools: control and monitor storage systems using S.M.A.R.T.. In repository main, is optional. Version 5.33+5.34cvs20050802-3ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 242 kB, installed size 608 kB
[04:30] <UbuntuMonk> Thanks I am assuming documentation for Dapper will help me learn Hoary Hedgehog thats what I have installed
[04:30] <frying_fish> and powermax is what you want to run all the test
[04:30] <HazemMohamed> arto: I think the message was sent
 ok is there any way i can use this from usb flash drive
[04:31] <frogzoo> UbuntuMonk: hoary is quite old, you'd do better with dapper
[04:31] <luvbabe> can someone get my ubuntu system online?
[04:31] <arto> HazemMohamed, the message I received says "Hazem wants to chat"
[04:31] <frying_fish> Paddy_EIRE: boot the cd that you download, then see if it finds it, if not then no
[04:32] <HazemMohamed> arto: that is one message,  there is another
[04:32] <frying_fish> a usb flash drive? what are you on about, is it a harddisk or a solid state device?
[04:32] <UbuntuMonk> frogzoo,  I will try and read the docs first then i will upgrade to Dapper
[04:32] <a2xm> moogman: r u stiil there?
 i have no cds at the mo
[04:32] <arto> HazemMohamed, ok.. I am waiting.
[04:32] <frogzoo> UbuntuMonk: a fair plan
[04:32] <frying_fish> or, do you mean the harddisk is connected via usb>
[04:32] <frying_fish> well no, its a cd, you need it on a cd.
[04:33] <a2xm> moogman: could you let me know your mplayer version pls?
[04:33] <cabuloso> anyone know the command to reconfigure xserver ?
[04:33] <cabuloso> dkpg something...

[04:33] <cidalia> I have kernel 2.6.16-2-686, I would like to get the source from it, but apt, doesn't have it (it's the same sources.list that I've got the kernel image) is there any apt source for kernels ??
[04:33] <frying_fish> unless you know of somewhere to make it write all it needs as not the .iso, but as the raw data to the usb flash drive, so  it can boot from that (I don't know how)
[04:33] <samuel__> #ubuntu-it
[04:33] <FurryNemesis> cabuloso, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:34] <frogzoo> cidalia: you need to enable the source repos, then do 'apt-get source pkgname'
[04:34] <cabuloso> FurryNemesis, thanks man !
[04:34] <a2xm> frogzoo: thanks ;-)

 if i extract the iso onto flash drive maybe
[04:34] <frogzoo> mboso: -> #ubuntu+1

[04:34] <nikin> hy again
[04:35] <cidalia> frogzoo, going to try...
[04:35] <UbuntuMonk> frogzoo, so no one runs Hoary any longer ?
[04:35] <UbuntuMonk> everyone got to Dapper
[04:35] <UbuntuMonk> ?
[04:35] <frying_fish> Paddy_EIRE: possibly, but no garuntee
[04:35] <user_> yes
[04:35] <Paddy_EIRE> yep, Dapper here
[04:35] <user_> xubuntu dapper even
[04:35] <frogzoo> UbuntuMonk: Hoary is supported, but not recommended
[04:36] <user_> i've been trying to run compiz on xfce without success for a fair while
[04:36] <elkbuntu> there are even people still running warty, but that is even less recommended
[04:36] <UbuntuMonk> ya i understand probably more bug fixes in Dapper... anyone know if that bug has been fixed that Hoary does not recognize Serial Mice
[04:36] <user_> is this possible?
[04:36] <UbuntuMonk> i had to manually edit xorg.conf
[04:36] <user_> did you get it dont?
[04:36] <user_> fantastic
[04:36] <user_> done sorry

[04:37] <cosmicelf> I found it online but can i get it from apt-get auto
[04:37] <`spider> How big is Xubuntu ?

[04:37] <cosmicelf> http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/edgy/text/hyperestraier
[04:38] <user_> but there are no window effects
[04:38] <user_> it also says "Xorg" running as opposed to "Xorg-air"
[04:38] <arto> HazemMohamed, I don't think your email was sent. Nothing received.
[04:38] <cosmicelf> anyone?
[04:39] <user_> spider 687 MB
[04:39] <user_> nice on system memory
[04:39] <user_> xfce looks like gnome

[04:39] <HazemMohamed> arto: I'm sending another one
[04:39] <`spider> ok
[04:39] <arto> HazemMohamed, great.
[04:39] <srikat> then what's the advantage of running ubuntu over xubuntu? user_
[04:39] <user_> gnome is more polished
[04:40] <user_> although I am just attempting compiz on it on very old laptop
[04:40] <HazemMohamed> arto: I've a slow dialup connection and the package is about 1 Megs
[04:40] <user_> srikat: thus better for older machines

[04:51] <Lynoure> niruana: But I just usually use network-manager , because I'm lazy with my own laptop

[04:51] <Namingishard> Hello people =)
[04:51] <elkbuntu> linuxd00d, have you commented on launchpad yet?
[04:52] <user_> but it appears i was wrong about the non-net install
[04:52] <linuxd00d> no
[04:52] <user_> think you will have to do it via repositories
[04:52] <elkbuntu> linuxd00d, have you even looked if the bug is on launchpad?
[04:52] <linuxd00d> hayim: what card are you using
[04:52] <sioux> some of swat starts?
[04:52] <lesshaste>  could some kind soul talk me through a few simple steps in gimp?
[04:52] <lesshaste>  I just want to zoom into one part of the image and save that part as a file
[04:52] <lesshaste>  I need the aspect ratio to be the same as the original
[04:52] <lesshaste>  as I want it to be printed as a photo
[04:52] <sioux> some of you swat starts?
[04:52] <linuxd00d> elkbuntu: not yet i have been doing other stuff
[04:52] <Snake> Is there any reasons on why ubuntu would read my 2.8 ghz CPU (which I have overclocked to 3.6) as a 1.6 ghz?
[04:53] <sioux> localhost:901 is ok?
[04:53] <hayim> hey linuxd00d. thanks! i have acer laptop/. ubuntu's device manager found the card, an inprocomm ipn2220. i did swrapper, i think the card is working
[04:53] <user_> lesshaste "canvas size"
[04:53] <user_> "keep aspect ratio"
[04:53] <Namingishard> Anyone have an idea why H.264 video files look really bad when i play them in VLC
[04:53] <Namingishard> http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/3276/screenshoted0.png
[04:53] <hayim> the network settings program sees the card, lets me activate it and deactivate as wlan0, but it just doesnt *DO* anything
[04:54] <napster> how do I start xubuntu from CD; it will boot itself right ?
[04:54] <linuxd00d> hayim: goto #ubuntu-classroom less crowded
[04:54] <user_> napster you install an ubuntu
[04:54] <user_> then apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[04:54] <snooky353> hmmm.  n/m.  that may not be the problem, cause you should be able to see the packages in synaptic if you search for 'em...
[04:55] <napster> I haven't installed a Ubuntu yet; but i have other linux-es
[04:55] <shawnr_> [ubuntu/gnome, debian sarge/blackbox, linksys BEFCMU10 v3]  i have a linksys usb cable modem that offer eth and usb, i have 2 computers. one with usb only and the other with eth. i can use them both seperatly to get internet. how can i use both eth & usb on cable modem?
[04:55] <user_> napster i see, which one you on?
[04:56] <gnomefreak> napster: set system bios to boot from cd stick cd in and restart
[04:56] <orbin> napster: if you're talking about the xubuntu livecd then yes, it boots itself if you set the cd drive as the first boot device in bios
[04:56] <Sproxy> Please click all on the google ads on http://users.skynet.be/jefhuy/ thanks for helping! -> please help me for my new rack server

[04:57] <napster> what is so funny?
[04:57] <napster> :)))
[04:57] <user_> oh nothing much
[04:57] <user_> ubuntu runs just like knoppix as live cd
[04:57] <user_> then you can install by selecting option
[04:57] <napster> is it easy for installation; unlike freebsd
[04:57] <napster> OH NOW WE RE TALKIN'
[04:57] <user_> new knoppix has that as well does it not
[04:57] <user_> very easy

[04:58] <user_> you got fast internet hey
[04:58] <look> how can i unpack rar with xarchiver?
[04:59] <napster> I have 100Mbps but I'm using IDA for speeding up
[04:59] <neutrinomass> look: You probably have to install 'unrar' from multiverse ...
[05:00] <Paddy_EIRE> anyone here use webboard

 thanks
[05:04] <sioux> to get
[05:04] <sioux> :-)
[05:04] <sioux> please :-)
[05:04] <Sammylvz> xxxxx
[05:04] <orbin> wheels3572: it's a metapackage.  you can safely remove it
[05:04] <sioux> :-P
[05:04] <wheels3572> stev_, I want to remove thunderbird mail cuz i am gonna use evolution for my email client and I went to remove thunderbird mail and it told me it also wants to remove xubuntu-desktop
[05:05] <cosmicelf> i'm trying to install the package for HyperEstraier.  How do i confirm the package name?
[05:05] <Samineru> I currently have a program in a folder, I can run it from there but how do i make it so I can run it from the command line?
[05:05] <Sammylvz> i agot how 2 get in the offtopic
[05:05] <aujordanh> wheels3572: thats okay
[05:05] <cosmicelf> I found this..   http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/edgy/text/hyperestraier
[05:05] <_stev_> wheels3572: sudo apt-get remove mozilla-thunderbird --purge
[05:05] <wheels3572> aujordanh, is the desktop the background I see?
[05:05] <napster> what are the development programs in xubuntu 9for what languages)?
well i already had unrar installed but xarchiver cant unpack rar
[05:06] <cosmicelf> but apt-get install "hyperestraier"  does not find it.
[05:06] <Sammylvz> can sum1 help me plz?
[05:06] <aujordanh> wheels3572: no it is only used when installing ubuntu and upgrading to next release
[05:06] <cosmicelf> but "apt-get install hyperestraier"  does not find it.
[05:06] <user_> napster all the ones you can get on debian pretty much
[05:06] <aujordanh> !ubuntu-desktop
[05:06] <user_> nice, precompiled packages
[05:06] <ubotu> k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading.
[05:06] <neutrinomass> look: Does it claim to be able to ? If yes, it should be a bug. In any case, you can use file-roller (Archive Extractor in gnome) to unpack them ...
[05:06] <benjk_> hi there
[05:06] <orbin> cosmicelf: are you running edgy?
[05:07] <wheels3572> aujordanh, so if I want to upgrade to next release I would have to uninstall and reinstall the new version since the desktop is gonna be gone?

[05:07] <napster> :)
 im using xfce
[05:07] <cosmicelf> edgy?
[05:07] <orbin> cosmicelf: actually, it's in dapper too.. you need to enable universe

[05:07] <cosmicelf> I'm sure I did enable universe
[05:07] <benjk_> I am constantly having my ssh session cut off after a few mins of inactivity and it has become extremely annoying as I am logging back in about 50+ times a day
[05:07] <user_> look have you had compiz going on that?
[05:07] <cosmicelf> How do I enable universe again?
[05:07] <Paddy_EIRE> would ubuntu be considered the most accessible linux distro yet?
[05:07] <orbin> cosmicelf: double check :)
[05:07] <aujordanh> wheels3572: pretty much, it won't hurt anything, did you read what ubotu said?
[05:07] <benjk_> any idea where I can change the timeout for that?
[05:08] <print_r> Hi there.  I'm looking for some good material on how to secure my web server enough for production environment.
[05:08] <orbin> cosmicelf: ubotu sent you some info
[05:08] <Sammylvz> help help
[05:08] <wheels3572> aujordanh, nope I missed ubotu lol sorry what command was given to ubotu for me?

 tried all of the above
[05:13] <aujordanh> wheels3572: yeah
[05:13] <user_> paddy not sure think theyre quite old now
[05:13] <Paddy_EIRE> easy-ubuntu was one of the first things i ran

[05:15] <abcdef> I am trying to install ubuntu on my E510 machine and always it fails to start x server has anyone faced this?
 where do i check what is currently being used as a driver for my card
[05:15] <benjk_> troytroy, vi .bashrc
[05:15] <shawnr_> abcdef, could be a number of diff things, be more specific

[05:16] <benjk_> yeah
 where is that
[05:16] <benjk_> check out the colour options in there
[05:16] <look> isnt rar supported with file-roller?
[05:16] <benjk_> there are a bunch of references to "color"
[05:16] <abcdef> I am just trying to install from the dvd... i am new so was wondering is there anything I need to be aware of?
[05:17] <Kr4t05> Paddy_EIRE: open a terminal and type lspci, and look for the name of your device... No wait... That won't tell  you anything... One moment.
 do u have an ATI graphics card
[05:17] <abcdef> why would x server fail i have not modified any default
[05:17] <shawnr_> abce, if it fails to start the xserver, what is the error your getting
[05:17] <abcdef> yes
[05:17] <abcdef> i have ati card
 which one
[05:17] <abcdef> no screen found or something similar i think it is x600
 this card should be fine, .....i think
[05:18] <cosmicelf> What repository should I use for "universe" ?
[05:18] <karim> does a proxy makes browsing faster ?
[05:19] <abcdef> is there anything i need to use like non generic cd or soemthing?
[05:19] <rsk> karim no
[05:19] <cosmicelf> I am including it but still it says it cannot find it
[05:19] <cosmicelf> hyperestraier
[05:19] <rsk> karim, slower
[05:19] <cosmicelf> can anyone confirm that they can find "hyperestraier" ?
[05:19] <abcdef> i have digital lcd will it cause failuer
[05:19] <karim> rsk: doesn't the caching makes things faser ?
[05:19] <karim> faster
[05:19] <Paddy_EIRE> Everyone What would be a good AGP graphics card (under 40) to run in ubuntu
[05:19] <benjk_> is nobody here using SSH?
[05:20] <rsk> karim, no you cant cache the internet
[05:20] <Lynoure> benjk_: almost all, I bet
[05:20] <[Ludo] > hello, does some use the "fast user switch applet" with gnome ?
[05:20] <karim> rsk: no but you can cache the often visited sites isn'tn it ?
[05:20] <luisrobles> Paddy: a XFX GeforceFX 5700LE is a cheap card and play most games...
[05:20] <Paddy_EIRE> and also has anyone figured out whether or not ubuntu will work with Talk Talks' usb modem
[05:20] <benjk_> and you never get annoyed that Ubunty logs you off all the time?
[05:20] <Lynoure> But I gotta start a film now...
[05:21] <Lynoure> benjk_: Doesn't happen to me.
any good online stores for this
[05:21] <benjk_> I have to log in about 50+ times a day
[05:21] <cosmicelf> I've enabled all the repositories in synaptic and can't find "hyperestraier"
[05:21] <troytroy> benjk_: i think nano be easir for me
[05:21] <benjk_> and I can't find anything where this timeout is set
[05:21] <cosmicelf> Yet it's here..  http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/edgy/text/hyperestraier
[05:21] <troytroy> benjk_: how do i exit vi
[05:22] <luisrobles> Paddy:
[05:22] <cosmicelf> Oh..  does it not work with breezy?
 : q!
[05:22] <afief> troytroy: :q
[05:22] <[Ludo] > so no one use the "fast user switch" applet ?
[05:22] <luisrobles> im from Chile, sory, no online stores on my bookmarks
[05:22] <abcdef> thanks guys
[05:23] <benjk_> its clearly some kind of inactivity timer
[05:23] <cosmicelf> Can anyone help me with this?  http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/edgy/text/hyperestraier
[05:23] <cosmicelf> I'm on the breezy badger
[05:23] <benjk_> because it only happens after I didn't do anything in the ssh session for a few minutes
[05:23] <Okita> I'm using ubuntu to ssh into another ubuntu box, and I can't get backspace to work in vim.  It works in bash, but it just output ^? in vim, even if I use :fixdel Can anyone help me?
[05:24] <cosmicelf> Can I install edgy packages on breezy ?
[05:24] <_stev_> benjk_: that will be for security reasons
[05:24] <benjk_> Okita, ctrol-h should work
[05:24] <user_> okita use nano :-D
[05:24] <troytroy> benjk_: colours still not enabled
 no problem, Im trying to educate myself with linux and want to beable to reccomend it to people without all the hassels of graphics cards not working and usb broadband modems but i dont think i can reccomend it just yet
[05:24] <cosmicelf> Can I install this package or one similar on breezy?  http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/edgy/text/hyperestraier
[05:24] <boga> how can I associate particular file extensions with specific programs to open them?
[05:24] <troytroy> benjk_: terminal colour coding not working
[05:24] <benjk_> _stev_ that's all fine, but I am the only one in this room and I don't need it
[05:25] <benjk_> my productivity is down because i have to login 50+ times a day
[05:25] <Okita> benjk_: Yeah, I just wanted to map it to backspace, I just found a solution that worked when fixdel didnt': http://www.dd.chalmers.se/dd/faq/unix/vim_backspace_delete.html
[05:25] <b1shop1> what's the ubuntu version service control?  chkconfig svccrtl?
[05:25] <benjk_> at the very least I need a longer timeout, like an hour or two
[05:25] <Okita> user_: I used to, but I have outgrown those days ^_~
 i dont understand why u have to keep logging in
[05:25] <benjk_> I just can't find any place where this is configured
[05:26] <benjk_> because the damn box keeps logging me out unless I touch the ssh session every minute
[05:26] <luisrobles> google is death??
 maybe something set in powersaving options
[05:26] <benjk_> I don't have powersaving options
[05:26] <benjk_> this is a mininal install
 Google and Bill are the end of days
[05:26] <benjk_> Ubuntu server 6.06
[05:26] <cosmicelf> is it just me talking to myself in here?
[05:26] <janitor_x> i have a via 8235 sound chipset(built-in) /AC97 Audio ... how can i set it up to use 4 speakers? i dont mind wether it is surround or surround stereo
 why did u go with minimal
[05:27] <benjk_> because it is a server
[05:27] <print_r> Google Iceland works fine.
[05:27] <benjk_> its for one purpose only, nothing else
 and u are using as a normal machine aswell?
[05:27] <_stev_> benjk_: you can edit the ssh config file at the server
[05:27] <benjk_> I am logging in via SSH from a desktop box
[05:28] <benjk_> yeah, I am aware of the config files for sshd, but I can't find anything in there that relates to a timeout
[05:28] <_stev_> benjk_: and set this in it TCPKeepAlive yes ClientAliveInterval 30 ClientAliveCountMax 99999
[05:28] <boga> How do I handle file associations in Dapper?

 i wouldnt know where to begin with this language
[05:36] <safrican_> because although I have enabled the backports repository - i cannot upgrade to the latest version available (on backports, ofcourse) .. [of beagle to be more specific] 
[05:36] <user_> paddy - i see, had to work it out myself as well ;-)
[05:37] <roostishaw> is this the right command to export an environment var in python? os.environ["var"]  = var
where do i even view whats going on with my card anyway, there is nothing related to graphics anywhere
linux for humans?

[05:39] <Doon> Hi there, looking on how to get wmv support for totem
[05:40] <Paddy_EIRE> google doesnt find anyting way to much info
[05:40] <user_> you must be very specific in selecting your keywords
[05:40] <user_> if you enter ""ubuntu" and "radeon 9250" with "direct rendering"
[05:40] <Paddy_EIRE> it says the driver is 9200, my card is a 9250
[05:40] <user_> you will get very specific results
[05:40] <user_> that shouldnt matter
[05:40] <user_> what does glxinfo say
[05:41] <user_> glxinfo | grep direct
[05:41] <Luka1> I can receive files in phone via "Send Bluetooth" in Nautilus :-).

[05:43] <user_> have tried a couple
[05:43] <_stev_> Paddy_EIRE: your card card is supported for the linux ati driver

[05:45] <mischy> What to do?
[05:45] <blatt_> i coming in wrong canal... undearstand me?
[05:45] <Cntryboy> why isn't anyone of any help in here for the past 2 days.. I know someone uses xmms
[05:45] <Skaag> There is a bug in Ubuntu that I am experiencing, which is quite annoying, I go to System -> Preferences -> Sound, and I select my Altec Lansing USB speakers, but it keeps going back to the onboard Intel ICH6 sound card, this means Totem and other apps always go to ICH6 instead of my USB speakers. any workaround?
[05:45] <mischy> doh
[05:45] <blatt_> i will like in portuguese ubuntu

[05:46] <zyfo> I want to run both Windows and Linux. If I'm using the FS-driver driver in Windows to access my hd in Windows (I don't want to use a FAT32), will it be able to access ex3 partitions too?

[05:52] <SuseUX> troytroy, gnome terminal dont do that for you?
[05:52] <Cntryboy> _stev_: NO :(
[05:53] <user_> napster you can keep GRUB and GDM
[05:53] <user_> everythings normal
[05:53] <mkns> troytroy - is it the stuff in your $HOME/.bashrc file that you're maybe after?
[05:53] <Cntryboy> _stev_: my gf copied it right off from a disc.. Do you think they are encrypted and thats why?
[05:54] <user_> napster you mean for dualboot?
[05:54] <napster> no I mean how do I install xubuntu if I allredy have GRUB installed
[05:55] <Snake> Hey guys I built a deb on another box of mine using check install, would it be safe to install that on to this system (It was built on a P4, this is a P3)
[05:55] <napster> or I shouldn't worry about that?
[05:55] <topyli> napster: from the cd? or do you have a full ubuntu installation you want to add xubuntu-desktop to?
[05:55] <mkns> Snake - if it is the same architecture, it should be OK
[05:55] <Snake> mkns: sounds good thanks
[05:56] <troytroy> SuseUX: i dont have desktop installed
[05:56] <mkns> Snake: ultimately it depends what the deb does, i expect
[05:56] <Akein> I am having some problems with some new hardware I installed
[05:56] <napster> from an .iso image for the CD?
[05:56] <Snake> mkns: wine 0.9.18
[05:56] <troytroy> SuseUX: text mode only box
[05:56] <_stev_> Cntryboy: what is a gf? can you play another media file ? look at your home folder for the link to Examples
[05:56] <Akein> I installed a sound card, but it won't play any sound yet
[05:56] <mkns> Snake: i can't see any reason that wouldn't be ok
[05:56] <Snake> ok
[05:56] <topyli> napster: if you want a brand new xubuntu install, just burn the cd and install. it will write over your old grub
[05:57] <mkns> Snake: is the ubuntu version of wine not good enough for you, tho?
[05:57] <Paddy_EIRE> is there a channel specifically for ATI cards as I think there should be, how many guides to solve 1 problem
[05:57] <Snake> mkns: There isnt one released yet
[05:57] <troytroy> mkns: just want to easily distinguish files,scripts, dir when i use ls
[05:57] <troytroy> mkns: all listing appears whit
[05:58] <napster> ok; does xubuntu has a partitioning program in it when i run it as live cd; I want to delete knoppix and use xubuntu instead
[05:58] <Paddy_EIRE> even bloody windows runs the damn card after a simple installation from cd
[05:58] <mkns> Snake: yes there is
[05:58] <topyli> napster: sure
[05:58] <Cntryboy> _stev_: gf means girl friend.. And I can play all files/ codecs but .wma kaffine doesn't, amorak doesn't, xmm doesn't vlc im not sure about..
[05:58] <Snake> mkns: where
[05:58] <napster> ok
[05:58] <mkns> well, if I did 'sudo apt-get install wine' it would get installed
[05:59] <Snake> Not 0.9.18 ;)
[05:59] <user_> wmv does get played
[05:59] <mkns> maybe you don't have the right repositories in your sources.list?
[05:59] <mkns> Snake: ah, maybe not, let me check
[05:59] <Snake> mkns: the repos one is very out of date
[05:59] <Snake> its 0.9.9
[05:59] <habblo> How do i make my Ubuntu use english language?
[05:59] <user_> i just installed all codecs as per http://easylinux.info/wiki/Ubuntu_dapper#How_to_install_Multimedia_Codecs
[05:59] <habblo> How do i make my Ubuntu use english language?
[05:59] <mkns> Snake: 0.9.9 so you're right enough
[05:59] <Paddy_EIRE> also can someone tell me why i have only 503 of system ram instead of my 512
[06:00] <woei> integrated graphics
[06:00] <Paddy_EIRE> no
[06:00] <user_> http://www.cs.cornell.edu/~djm/ubuntu/#fix-wmv
[06:00] <topyli> Snake: deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt dapper main
[06:00] <user_> fix wmv hier
[06:00] <Snake> topyli: also out of date
[06:00] <habblo> How do i make my Ubuntu use english language?
[06:00] <napster> Should I burn a Data Disc for the .iso or I remember Nero had a bootable cd; should I use that?
[06:00] <Paddy_EIRE> windows finds everything have all my hardware in windows
[06:00] <mkns> troytroy - have a look at dircolors
[06:00] <woei> what is this "lrm" filesystem and corresponding 'volatile' kernel module that crops up in the output of df -hT ?
[06:00] <Bergcube> Paddy_EIRE, Linux is better at discovering bad / defective RAM than that redmond alternative OS.
[06:01] <user_> napster use parted on ubuntu live cd
[06:01] <user_> in terminal
[06:01] <troytroy> mkns: where exactly please
[06:01] <topyli> Snake: i got 0.9.14 from there some weeks ago
[06:01] <mkns> Snake: you could get 0.9.15 deb from Debian unstable... but it might not work ;)
 so i have bad ram all of a sudden upon using ubuntu, but not the whole time using windows
[06:01] <topyli> Snake: don't know what they have now
[06:01] <Snake> topyli: Its updated to 9.17
[06:01] <mkns> troytroy: 'man dircolors'
[06:01] <habblo> How do i make my Ubuntu use english language?
[06:01] <napster> for the partition program; Knoppix had one called QTParted
[06:01] <Snake> .18 was just released the other day
[06:01] <habblo> How do i make my Ubuntu use english language?
[06:02] <habblo> How do i make my Ubuntu use english language?
[06:02] <Luka1> I cannot find addres with command   sudo hidd --search. I can find adress with hcitool scan. What is different between hidd ---search and hcitool scan?
[06:02] <mboso> anyone in here running xorg7.1 or edgy?
[06:02] <mkns> Snake: out of interest, what do you use it for?
[06:02] <topyli> Snake: so? what's new in .18?
[06:02] <Snake> topyli: Whollleee bunch of fixes to .msi files and directx :)
[06:02] <ChrisNiemy> napster: or download the image (30MB) of the Gparted Live CD. very useful for different situations. But ubuntu live cd also has parted on it.
[06:02] <mkns> troytroy: if you're still confused, let me know
[06:02] <ChrisNiemy> napster: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[06:02] <habblo> How do i make my Ubuntu use english language?
[06:02] <habblo> How do i make my Ubuntu use english language?
[06:02] <habblo> How do i make my Ubuntu use english language?
[06:03] <user_> parted is very friendly bash program
[06:03] <Snake> ...
[06:03] <Bergcube> Paddy_EIRE, In short YES, that can be the reason.  Your logic isn't logic.  Windows never really TEST RAM, it simply hangs when trying to use a defective adress.  Linux tests it and stops at the defective place.  So if you've never forced windos to fill the RAM completely the error can have been there for yonks.  No relation to Linux or not.
[06:03] <napster> OK, OK
[06:03] <Ivanowitch> habblo, install the english language packs
[06:03] <topyli> habblo: please stop. if someone knows they will answer
[06:03] <zsh> habblo, system>administration>language selector, i'm using breezy though so it might be diff for dapper

[06:04] <mkns> can anyone tell me... i can't apparently use private messaging in here because i'm not registered but i have no idea how to register?

[06:04] <user_> napster: where do i find my PM?
[06:04] <troytroy> so guys can i my own proxy/firewall box with debian/ubuntu? i hate the smoothwall firewall dist
 been using very very intensively, all sorts of power hungry apps
[06:05] <user_> think i'm not logged in properly
[06:05] <troytroy> so guys can i build my own proxy/firewall box with debian/ubuntu? i hate the smoothwall firewall dist
[06:05] <JamieBE> Can anyone please tell me how I can edit my System menu in Ubuntu - It's really starting to bug me. I've tried everything.
[06:05] <Bergcube> Paddy_EIRE, How are you sure?  How do you KNOW it didn't use swap?  If you have a CD-rom Windows by default allocates 10 MB buffer for that.  This buffer very rarely gets filled, or shrunk.  Often this buffer gets put at the top.
[06:05] <napster> What program are you using; I think that Linux uses X-Chat
[06:05] <Snake> napster: I use irssi, theres way more than just xchat ;)
 so i have dodgy ram
[06:05] <mkns> now registered... thx, JamieBE, Snake
[06:05] <Snake> np
[06:05] <gregg__> Bergcube: use memtest86 to be sure
[06:06] <user_> yes x-chat
[06:06] <JamieBE> gd job mkns
[06:06] <user_> do not seem to have received PM
[06:06] <Bergcube> Paddy_EIRE, I think it sounds that way.  Yes.  gregg's suggestion is the way to be sure.
[06:06] <napster> look for something that is flashing; a button
[06:06] <_stev_> Cntryboy: you can find it here and install with alien http://mcmcc.bat.ru/xmms-wma/
[06:06] <user_> negative
 where is memtest86
[06:06] <Cntryboy> _stev_: why do ya want me to dl it again if I already have it installed?
[06:07] <Cntryboy> _stev_: im on 2.1KB takes me long time to dl the smallest of proggies
[06:07] <safrican_> although I have enabled the backports repository - i cannot upgrade to the latest version available (on backports, ofcourse) .. [of beagle to be more specific]  - any help ? i don't know how to debug it
[06:07] <safrican_> i don't knwo what to do - literally
[06:07] <Bergcube> Paddy_EIRE, As for your ATI card.  Have you followed the excellent howto at help.ubuntu.com?
[06:07] <napster> user_ did u get that
[06:07] <andrea_b> hi guys
[06:07] <user_> yes i did
[06:07] <user_> nothing flashing
[06:07] <andrea_b> got little problem with my ubuntu
 yep, i think i've tried them all
[06:07] <user_> i think you have to be logged on wiht registered username or whatever
[06:07] <topyli> safrican_: did you update the package lists after adding the repository?
[06:07] <andrea_b> my pc doesn't power off
 problems been going since dapper was released in june (when i started using ubuntu
[06:08] <user_> oh dear
[06:08] <JamieBE> Please someone help us out with this, I have been trying for 48 hours now and keep coming back to the damned Alacarte menu editor, which shows the changes, but never actually applies them. It's unbelievably irritating
[06:08] <andrea_b> I read that is a common problem
[06:08] <napster> HOW DO I BURN MY CD WITH THE .ISO IMAGE ??? AS A DATA DISC OR A BOOTABLE CD ?
[06:08] <andrea_b> but I don't know how to fix
[06:08] <safrican_> topyli: yes - like 8 times
[06:08] <user_> napster
[06:08] <user_> right click, burn to cd
[06:08] <gregg__> Paddy_EIRE: it's on the ubuntu boot cd. start it up and choose "test memory" (or similar)
[06:08] <topyli> safrican_: once should be enough :)
[06:08] <user_> oh youre not on ubuntu
[06:09] <user_> hehe
 im losing patience with it and cringe at the thought that ill be back on windows again before end of month
[06:09] <user_> windows?
[06:09] <topyli> safrican_: which version do you have then?
[06:09] <user_> open in "burning rom" i think?
[06:09] <linuxd00d> whats windows??
[06:09] <napster> yes
[06:09] <Bergcube> Paddy_EIRE, Then it can be kernel-related.  You should report a bug in Malone.  Developers might then want you to test different solutions, so if you file a bug it's good to follow it up from time to time.
[06:09] <napster> Oh, PLEASE
[06:09] <safrican_> topyli: yeah - i know once should be enough.. i have the beagle 0.2.6 but backports has 0.2.7 and i would really like to update to it but its just not possible
 i know nothing of filling bugs
[06:09] <H8ed-Rokh> hi, im looking for help to install my ubuntu but im having problem with the installation. can someone help? :)
[06:10] <kingrayray> hi everybody, i just installed MPD, and i'm wondering how to manage services? i'd like to remove a couple things from startup and add MPD also..
[06:10] <Bergcube> Paddy_EIRE, No comfort for you at all, but I've used several GeForce card without problems.
[06:10] <user_> napster http://www.deepburner.com/
[06:10] <erider> how do you make gmain-vv use the webcam? Or where do you find the enable button?

 although i am willing to learn and contribute
[06:10] <Bergcube> !malone
[06:10] <ubotu> I know nothing about malone - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[06:10] <napster> in windows there is no such thing as "burning rom"
[06:10] <user_> linuxdoof: outdated OS
[06:10] <Bergcube> Paddy_EIRE, Hang on, I'll dig out an URL for you.
[06:10] <user_> napster yes there is http://www.ahead.de/
[06:10] <safrican_> topyli: yeah - its just a bit bothering because i moved from lfs - gentoo - slackware - gentoo - ubuntu and so far i've been pretty happy with it but this problem is very annoying
[06:10] <H8ed-Rokh> looking for help :P pm me polease
[06:10] <Ivanowitch> napser, just burn it as a data cd, it worked for me
[06:10] <user_> napster but no native support
[06:10] <yacek19> hello

[06:11] <JamieBE> is anyone find out out to edit the places menu, please can they write a response with my name in the solution, thanks
[06:11] <Bergcube> Paddy_EIRE, You file bugs here:  https://launchpad.net/malone  You need to be registered first.  If you got free CDs from ShipIt you already are.
[06:11] <napster> ok Ivanowitch
[06:11] <H8ed-Rokh> Hmm.. no help?
[06:12] <topyli> safrican_: 0.2.7 does indeed seem to be there
[06:12] <yacek19> hey, where can I set keymap for my ubuntu?
[06:12] <_stev_> Cntryboy: so you have it installed, ah ok
[06:12] <user_> h8ed-rokh whats wrong with your install
[06:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Could someone look in system/preferences/theme    theme details and tell me if under controls you have Variance as part of the standard install?
 i have received cds from shipit although they are not whats installed on box
[06:12] <user_> jacksparrow NO
[06:12] <user_> :-D
[06:12] <napster> Ivanowitch: from Nero, right ?
[06:12] <Cntryboy> _stev_: yah ive told u I had xmms-wma and w32codecs installed, all media format plays but .wma
[06:13] <user_> napster http://www.nero.com/eng/index.html nero is not included in windows
[06:13] <Ivanowitch> from whatever program you're using, as long as it supports burning an iso to cd
[06:13] <napster> yes but I have it
[06:13] <Bergcube> Paddy_EIRE, ok.  Well, the last time they sent them out we had to register in Launchpad.  The info at Malone is quite easy to follow so I am sure you'll figure it out.
[06:13] <user_> then "open" in nero
[06:13] <Jack_Sparrow> user_:  So it is not part of the standard install.. thanks
[06:13] <napster> but It'll be in CDFS
[06:13] <user_> jacksparrow recall it isnt
[06:13] <user_> why the interest
[06:14] <user_> napster whats CDFS?
[06:14] <user_> data
[06:14] <user_> i see
[06:14] <_stev_> Cntryboy: what gives ls -l over that wma file?
[06:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Wanted to package my custom theme and variance was part of it.
 do u think that it is resonable that i have to spend months almost just to install a simple grphics card
[06:14] <Bergcube> I've got to go.  Bye all!
[06:14] <Akein> I installed a sound card, but it won't play any sound yet
[06:14] <safrican_> topyli: yeah - exactly - so how do i upgrade to it

[06:16] <Bergcube> Paddy_EIRE, Depends wether your philosophy is to sit back and demand others to make life easy for you, or if your philosophy is that a problem is an intertesting challenge you can learn something from.  I spent almost a year getting Ubuntu to run sensibly on my laptop.  Even if Lunix HW support is better than under ANY other OS, there will be some incidents like yours.  If you report it, the rpoblem is likely to disappear in time.
[06:17] <Bauldrick> i installed ubuntu on my laptop - enter my name and passwd and get a purple screen??
[06:17] <_stev_> Cntryboy: ok, open a terminal, go to the place where your wma file is stored with the cd command. than in your music map do the ls -l command to see what the rights are

[06:42] <user_> do glxgears
[06:42] <Dr_Willis> yacek19,  you  mean the alt-ctrl-F1 through F6 Consoles? or Konsole (the kde terminal program)
[06:42] <user_> to see performance
[06:42] <TheBlue> Hi all.
[06:42] <ubuntu_> how do i chroot into my hd?
[06:42] <yacek19> the first option
[06:42] <ubuntu_> from a live cd?
[06:42] <snooplsm> the gears are going good.
[06:42] <user_> good
[06:42] <user_> hm
[06:43] <user_> performance is slow in 3D games?
[06:43] <snooplsm> no
[06:43] <snooplsm> its slow with java applications
[06:43] <user_> oh!
[06:43] <user_> hehehe
[06:43] <user_> thats an entirely different matter
[06:43] <user_> i think theyre quite memory intensive
[06:43] <EnsignRedshirt> Hello, world.
[06:43] <snooplsm> yes but on windows everything runs 3x faster.
[06:43] <user_> and is implemented differently under linux
[06:43] <user_> whats the java applic?
[06:43] <snooplsm> ahk
[06:43] <EnsignRedshirt> Does anyone know the command to find the names of the functions/symbols that are in a .a library?
[06:44] <snooplsm> user_: my own  :-)
[06:44] <Dr_Willis> Hmm.. I wonder how well tht Tribal Trouble game runs under java/linux.
[06:44] <snooplsm> eclipse
[06:44] <yacek19> Dr_Willis any idea?
[06:44] <intelligi> What is the easiest way to go about setting up Samba on Ubuntu?
[06:44] <user_> snoop: am impressed! web based?
[06:44] <bbrazil> EnsignRedshirt: nm
[06:45] <snooplsm> user_: yes and no.  Login verification is web based, along with storing of users settings/drawings.

[06:45] <Tonren> What's the package name for SVN?
[06:45] <user_> so youre using it as server
[06:45] <Tonren> !svn
[06:45] <snooplsm> but its a symbiotic relationship between server and client, nothing else.
[06:45] <ubotu> svn is Subversion: an open-source revision control system, which aims to be a compelling replacement for CVS. See http://subversion.tigris.org/
[06:45] <ic56> EnsignRedshirt: man ar
[06:45] <dane> anyone gotten the DW1390 wireless card working?
[06:45] <user_> i think java is proprietory
[06:45] <snooplsm> no, i'm developing my client application and server.
[06:46] <EnsignRedshirt> bbrazil: Thanks, that looks like what I want.
[06:46] <dane> or know where i would get it to work?
[06:46] <user_> which java you using on your client?
[06:46] <ompaul> java is closed and in multiverse as a result - full apt-get installable
[06:46] <Tonren> oh.. it's "subversion".  freakin' naturally
[06:46] <snooplsm> someone pointed out that java 2d isn't hardware accelerated in java.
[06:46] <snooplsm> which explains a lot.
[06:47] <user_> http://easylinux.info/wiki/Ubuntu_dapper#How_to_install_J2SE_Runtime_Environment_.28JRE.29_with_Plug-in_for_Mozilla_Firefox
[06:47] <user_> but it doesnt explain windows/linux speed differebce
[06:47] <snooplsm> user_:  i've done that...

[06:47] <Akein> I recently installed a PCI sound card, but I can't get it to work, any ideas?
[06:47] <Dr_Willis> !sound
[06:48] <ubotu> If sound is not working, first try system -> prefrences -> multimedia system selector change it to alsa. If you still have problems then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems
[06:48] <napster> IN ubuntu I can use mu USB mp3 player ?
[06:48] <Dr_Willis> Akein,  you had a sound card onboard befor that?
[06:48] <snooplsm> thanks for the help guys.
[06:48] <Akein> yeh, an onboard one
[06:48] <Jack_Sparrow> napster: It should show up as ausb drive..
[06:48] <rambo3> napaster yes but watch out  for .Trash map in linux for mp3 players
[06:48] <wheels3572> Does anyone know if there is an official proftpd channel in IRC?
[06:49] <Dr_Willis> check the proftp web site perhaps?
[06:49] <wheels3572> ok
[06:50] <ravenous> ssh is my friend
[06:50] <Dr_Willis> ssh is the boss of you!
[06:50] <Dr_Willis> :P
[06:51] <ravenous> i thought it was some mystic thing and i  had it setup before i knew what i was doing
[06:51] <linuxd00d> does anybody know of a Web-page designer for linux
[06:52] <Linuturk> i've seen good things about aptana linuxd00d
[06:52] <gregg__> linuxd00d: your text editor of choice
[06:52] <Linuturk> but there isn't a package for ubunut, last time I checked. You'll have to download the .deb and install it. There are instructions on the forums. linuxd00d
[06:52] <Tonren> Hey all, are there any tricks to improve the awful fonts in GNOME?  I installed MS TTF Core Fonts, but they're all still chunky, blocky and indistinguishable from one another.
[06:52] <Linuturk> www.aptana.com i believe linuxd00d
[06:53] <linuxd00d> linuturk: thanks
[06:53] <yipe> GAH!
[06:53] <intelligi> Is the apt-get command not working anymore?

[06:53] <Linuturk> linuxd00d, avoid NVU at all costs. It sucks bad.
[06:53] <gregg__> linuxd00d: avoid WYSIWYG altogether
[06:53] <sharky_> i forgot to nohup a very long job running on my machine and i found I can use the command disown to release the job from the current shell, and it will continue running.  but does anyone know what happens to the output of the program?
[06:54] <sharky_> can i specify where to redirect stdout/stderr when using disown?
[06:54] <linuxd00d> !WYSIWYG
[06:54] <ubotu> I know nothing about WYSIWYG - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[06:54] <_stev_> amimusa: take a look here under the ubuntu section http://wiki.winehq.org/Recommended_Packages  and install first the needed packages
[06:54] <Linuturk> gregg__, i disagree. I code in the text based portion of the wysiwyg and preview it in the preview pane. it really helps me with syntax highlighting and such
[06:55] <linuxd00d> what is WYSIWYG
[06:55] <ompaul> what you see is what you get
[06:55] <Linuturk> What you see is what you get
[06:55] <ravenous> 'what you see is what you get', visual html editor
[06:55] <Linuturk> Dreamweaver
[06:55] <gregg__> linuxd00d: that can hardly be considered wysiwyg
[06:55] <Dr_Willis> what you see - MAY or may not be what you get. :P
[06:55] <ravenous> its frontpage in a nutshell
[06:55] <santa99> he guys with which command do i get detailed information about my graphic card
[06:56] <linuxd00d> lol
[06:56] <deFrysk> frontpage should stay in its nutshell
[06:56] <Linuturk> frontpage is fucking evil
[06:56] <deFrysk> evil indeed

[06:57] <Ng> !resolution > ek0
[06:57] <gregg__> srikat: with only 10 GB I'd simply use a BIG /
[06:58] <ravenous> man klibido is a resource PIG
[06:58] <juan> Hi there
[06:58] <ompaul> srikat, if all you have is 10G then I would say only seperate swap from /, if you have resource issues later you can't go changing it as easy
[06:58] <sehute> srikat: what gregg__ said, or perhaps 4GB / and 6GB /home
[06:59] <srikat> ok, didn't know 10 GB is less. I actually have 50 GB in windows sitting next to it
[06:59] <sa> less than 10 second session problem, someone offers help?
[06:59] <srikat> I'll transfer some 10 more GB from windows to that

[07:04] <CyDrive> Does anyone know a good graphics library for C++ compatible for windows and c++?
[07:04] <trafiq> where i can find some info about upgrade dapper to edgy ? i cant find ; >
[07:04] <sehute> troytroy: I think dhcp3 is the lastest one
[07:04] <lophyte> CyDrive: opengl?
[07:04] <Dr_Willis> trafiq,  its prboerly best to avoide edgy at this time.
[07:04] <sehute> CyDrive: SDL, ClanLib, Ogre, Irrlicht, Allegro
[07:04] <CyDrive> Yeah but is opengl easy with 2d graphics?
[07:04] <sa> i have that less than 10 seconds problem, i looked on the net and found that i should delete the .ICEauthority file, i deleted but i still have the problem...
[07:05] <lophyte> I have no idea :P
[07:05] <trafiq> Dr_Willis, ye ye but u know where to find some info about upgrade?
[07:05] <ompaul> sa there are a couple of reasons, do this first. "CTRL+ALT+F2" this three finger salute will put you at a console, log in and run the command between the arrow heads >>rm .ICEauthority << that is a small R and M, then log out type >>exit<< and then CTRL+ALT+F7 log in and issue should be gone

[07:14] <mwtb> Hi. The version of samba on my server (FC4) machine seems to have been upgraded to 3.023141. This is all fine, but my previously working mounts on an Ubuntu client using cifs aren't working. Videos on one of the shares (it's a MythTV server) are inaccessible. If I simply change the share to smbfs rather than cifs, it works. As I was under the imporession that smbfs was deprecated, I'm not sure if that's a good idea. Any insights?
[07:14] <sa> anyone help me out...?
. ah now i remember.. i dont have the correct drivers for my video card..
[07:15] <trafiq> sehute - sudo synaptic - settesing - and edit all list changing dapper name to edgy ? :>

[07:17] <sehute> sa: then it should work. Xfce is my favorite, over KDE and GNOME, but you could also type kubuntu-desktop or ubuntu-desktop if you like them better
[07:17] <ompaul> linuxd00d, differs from file to file - what one have you got?
[07:17] <Linuturk> ompaul, i linked him to directions

[07:20] <Patrick`> the amd64 dapper installer is always hangging after partitioning, is this a common issue?
[07:20] <Linuturk> ompaul, ok . . . but I don't know where to begin to start on getting the package put together to contribute
[07:20] <Patrick`> it sets up the parttions correctly but doesn't make the filesystems
[07:20] <lophyte> anyone know if there's a way to convert an existing ext3 partition to an LVM volume?
[07:20] <KnowledgEngi> becouse i whant use gnome and kde
[07:20] <_stev_> KnowledgEngi: when you login you can chose whether to start the session in gnome or kde
[07:20] <ompaul> Linuturk, that is the "starting out to contribute channel"
[07:20] <jdseek> this sucks, i may have to go back to suse and give up internet access, still can't get my work apps to run with wine

[07:21] <Patrick`> well, not *very* common
[07:21] <lophyte> anyone :\
[07:22] <Patrick`> ... well, that was easy to solve
[07:22] <Patrick`> apparently people fix it by assigning swap
[07:22] <ompaul> sa there is one other thing - it is a tad extreme - do this in a terminal >> mv .gnome2 .gnome2.old <<then  log out and log in again

[07:23] <ardchoille> napster: You're preaching to the choir :)
[07:24] <ompaul> abhinay, I was going to attack that with the following - check disk your installing from or check the image you created it from you will the md5sum program
[07:24] <carthik> abhinay, have you tried seraching the web, the forums, and the bug tracker?
[07:24] <_stev_> intelligi: you where gone after I suggested what to do
[07:25] <Patrick`> hmm, people don't speak kindly about gparted
[07:25] <intelligi> What did you suggest, stev?
[07:25] <abhinay> ompaul: ya , i tried google & forums also ... i did not find anything
[07:25] <_stev_> intelligi: once again rename  /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin to  /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.binbckp and do again sudo apt-get update
[07:26] <mwe> Patrick`: what's wrong with gparted?
[07:26] <intelligi> How do I do that?
[07:26] <intelligi> Rename, that is.
[07:26] <ompaul> intelligi, to do this:
[07:26] <Patrick`> mwe: some guy's blog says it might cause the installer to hang
[07:26] <Patrick`> fits my symptoms
[07:26] <_stev_>  open a terminal and paste this sudo rm  /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin   /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.binkcp
[07:26] <Gumby> has anyone here gotten flashplugin-nonfree installed? the apt-get method of installing it downloads the "install_flash_player_7_linux.tar.gz" from macomedia.com via wget and it seems to take FOREVER

[07:27] <mwe> Patrick`: well maybe use the text installer then
[07:27] <ompaul> _stev_, read that again
[07:27] <_stev_> intelligi:  open a terminal and paste this sudo mv /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin   /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.binkcp
[07:27] <Patrick`> good point
[07:27] <ompaul> intelligi, that is the wrong command to back it up
[07:27] <_stev_> intelligi: it is the mv command
[07:27] <ompaul> intelligi, his last one works
[07:27] <Patrick`> mwe: ironic that I am coming from debian and then forget about text installers
[07:27] <napster> why doesn't someone make a , 7 ubuntu PC
[07:27] <mwe> Patrick`: it gives way better messages in case of errors as well
[07:28] <made> hello all

[07:28] <mwe> Patrick`: it seems to me the move to the graphic installer was somewhat rushed
[07:28] <Patrick`> mwtb: it's some sort of virtual filesystem that apps need to be ported to use
[07:29] <Gumby> mwe: you should first mount the share and the use the /path/to/share in mythtv
[07:29] <Patrick`> mwtb: I recommend mounting it from the commandline
[07:29] <mwe> Gumby: I don't use mythtv

[07:30] <Patrick`> witless: yes, that's normal (I think)
[07:30] <sehute> witless: do you use gdm?

[07:31] <Zambezi> Can anybody help me compress files with WinRAR for Linux (www.rarlabs.com). I have Xfce, so I can rightclick and compress the files.
[07:31] <witless> Patrick`: is there a way to do this without the extra xterm hanging around on my X desktop?
[07:31] <mwe> I don't think there is an ndiswrapper package. the module is included in the linux-image package and the utils in ndiswrapper-utils
[07:31] <Gumby> Zambezi: have you looked at rars manpage?
[07:31] <ompaul> dapet, the version of ubuntu - cat /etc/lsb_release in a terminal
[07:31] <Gumby> Zambezi: or rar --help
[07:31] <witless> sehute: will gdm deal with this over an ssh connection?
[07:31] <sehute> Zambezi: sudo aptitude install rar

[07:32] <Patrick`> I don't know how you guys do it, even salaried I'd go mad in here
[07:32] <sehute> witless: yes, I'm 72% sure of that
[07:32] <Patrick`> thanks for the help, and good luck!
[07:32] <Gumby> Patrick`: Ive been here for about two days and I can see a trend.  lol
[07:32] <digitalhav0c> how do you update the sources.list in aptitude
[07:32] <triggerh> how can you change the settings of your touchpad on ubuntu?
[07:32] <made> I need help with my 5 button mouse?
[07:32] <mwe> Zambezi: why would you use rar though?
[07:32] <dapet> no such file
[07:32] <scythe128> can I mount an iso as a filesystem using the mount command?
[07:32] <ompaul> made, check it out on the wiki wiki.ubuntu.com
[07:32] <mwe> scythe128: yes
[07:32] <sehute> Zambezi: hm, would you be content with dragging the files to an icon instead?
[07:33] <Zambezi> sehute, mwe It's already installed.
[07:33] <mwe> scythe128: sudo mount -o loop /path/to/isofile /mnt
[07:33] <Gumby> scythe128: yes
 I did... it doesn't work for me
[07:33] <mwe> Zambezi: I don't know why you would use rar though
[07:33] <srikat> Internet works fine on this 64 bit install of ubuntu. I've tried the 32 bit live CD but there's no internet over there. What could be the problem when using the live CD?
[07:33] <dapet> Anyone can help me with a ndiswrapper compiling http://pastebin.ca/106878 ? I have installed the source files
[07:33] <Zambezi> mwe, Compress several files to one single file.
[07:34] <yoshiznit123> hey everyone, how come `ls` in ubuntu doesn't list names with capital letters first, and how can i change that?
[07:34] <mwe> Zambezi: tar does the same thing
[07:34] <mwe> Zambezi: in addition it preserves ownerships and perms
[07:34] <scythe128> thanks
[07:34] <Gumby> dapet: if you are still getting that error then you havnt installed the correct kernel-sources
[07:34] <Zambezi> mwe, I prefer zip. I'm going to send the files to a friend and he uses Windows.
[07:34] <DrBair> !reiser
[07:34] <ubotu> reiserfs is a journalling file system, in benchmarks it outperforms many others on I/O operations, but they take notoriously long to mount.
[07:35] <DrBair> !reiser4
[07:35] <ubotu> I know nothing about reiser4 - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[07:35] <mwe> Zambezi: zip? I thought you said rar
[07:35] <scythe128> !uit
[07:35] <ubotu> I know nothing about uit - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[07:35] <scythe128> !quit
[07:35] <ubotu> I know nothing about quit - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[07:35] <mwe> Zambezi: winrar handles tar.gz files btw
[07:35] <DrBair> anyone know if the version of grub that comes with ubuntu support booting from reiser4 ?
[07:35] <scythe128> doh, wrong program :)
[07:35] <santa99> Zambezi, should be easy make Right Click on what you want to rar then Create Archive... and then choose .rar
[07:35] <dapet> I chekked my ubuntu vertion and installed the source with that name... I had a problem when i were using the make distclean comando, then i got the source and it worked
[07:35] <Zambezi> mwe, Zip or rar. Nothing else.
[07:36] <sehute> Zambezi: file-roller might be of help
[07:36] <Zambezi> santa99, Not for me, not i Xfce.
[07:36] <yoshiznit123> drbair, i don't think so, they're working on loadable modules and stuff for grub 2 tho
[07:36] <sehute> Zambezi: file-roller supports rar as well
[07:36] <mwe> Zambezi: if the gui can't handle it do it from the terminal with the rar command
[07:36] <DrBair> yoshiznit123: thanks, reiser3 it is then
[07:36] <Agrajag> santa99: you can't create a rar file with the free version of rar
[07:36] <yoshiznit123> then again, its been a couple of months, you might want to check again
[07:37] <Agrajag> Zambezi: what's wrong with zip?
[07:37] <Zambezi> mwe, But I don't know which command I should use.
[07:37] <santa99> Agrajag, oh ok didn't try this before thx for saying me
[07:37] <dapet> Guaby how do you make the red letters?
[07:37] <mwtb> And if I switch the mounts to smbfs from cifs, MythTV works, but Amarok falls over when it tries to update the collection from the mount. *weeps*
[07:37] <mwe> Zambezi: rar
[07:37] <ompaul> !wireless > dapet
[07:37] <Zambezi> Agrajag, I said I prefer zip or rar.
[07:37] <Gumby> dapet: when I say your name your IRC client probably lets you know by showing it in red
[07:37] <Agrajag> Zambezi: well, you can do zip files without having to jump through any hoops.
[07:37] <mwe> Zambezi: well I think the gui can handle zip files
[07:37] <sehute> Zambezi: both xarchiver, file-roller and ark should work
[07:37] <bodaciousb> Hey everyone.. I have a problem that i tried to get solved in here a year or so ago.  When playing music from my windows server, that i access though a samba share. Movie player is the only one that will play mp3 files, but it wont play video unless i first copy it to the local hard drive,  XMMS wont play mp3 files unless there local, Xine will play movies off the server... I would really like XMMS to be able to stream mp3's off the server.. any idea
[07:37] <bodaciousb> how i can make this happen?
[07:38] <Patrick`> uuh, how do I actually access the text-bsaed installer?
[07:38] <dapet> ohhh cool.... what is this "<ompaul> !wireless > dapet"
[07:38] <sehute> Zambezi: they are all easy to use, and supports rar
[07:38] <ompaul> dapet, that is the collective knowledge  of the ubuntu community on wireless the answer should be in there smwhere
[07:38] <probono> hi all, can it be that loop-mounting is broken on the Dapper Live CD?
[07:38] <Agrajag> Patrick`: you need to get the alternative install CD
[07:38] <mwe> Zambezi: at least in kde I can right click anything and compress it to zip or whatever
[07:38] <dapet> How do I use it?
[07:38] <sehute> Patrick`: alt+f2, type gnome-terminal, type sudo aptitude install the_package_you_want_to_install
[07:38] <ompaul> dapet, it causes a message from the channel bot to you - check out a "pm" from ubotu
[07:38] <Patrick`> sehute: ... this is on the installer
[07:38] <frying_fish> bodaciousb: just mount the drive
[07:38] <ompaul> dapet, read the web page
[07:39] <frying_fish> mount the samba share, then xmms will be able to read them fine, it will think they are local
[07:39] <Zambezi> mwe, I said I can't rightclick!
[07:39] <bodaciousb> frying_fish, i have done that in the past but i havent tried it recently.  ill do that =)
[07:39] <Patrick`> Agrajag: I know it's not your fault but that's very bad news
[07:39] <Agrajag> Zambezi: then start up file-roller
[07:39] <frying_fish> bodaciousb: works fine for me...
[07:39] <Patrick`> since the graphical installer failed just after overwriting the OS on the only machine with a CD burner
[07:39] <Patrick`> I'm on a laptop right now
[07:39] <Narf> guys, dapper does't want to display cyrilic characters under console no matter what, any idea how to fix it ?
[07:39] <Patrick`> and I can so SFA about it
[07:39] <frying_fish> I use audacious now though, which is a gtk2 implementation of xmms
[07:39] <jdseek> I have a wine issue that is exclusive to ubuntu, if anyone wants to help me fix it, please ask, i will past the error message in #flood
[07:40] <EpP> anyone have their wireless network setup using WPA/TKIP?
[07:40] <Oxin> what would be you guys' suggestion for a VNC like program?
[07:40] <Patrick`> sehute: was that kneejerk noob-using-apt advice or can I actually install packages into the ramdrive from the livecd?
[07:40] <Patrick`> Oxin: vnc
[07:40] <Agrajag> Oxin: in ubuntu there is already a VNC server and client installed
[07:40] <sehute> Patrick`: you are in the installation of Ubuntu, and you wish to install a package while it's installing?
[07:40] <Patrick`> I am on the installer CD
[07:41] <Patrick`> and I wish to use the text-based installer which is not included with this CD
[07:41] <sehute> Patrick`: it's the response you get when you ask a question without giving enough information
[07:41] <Patrick`> it's also a livecd
[07:41] <mwe> Zambezi: then go to the terminal use the zip command. zip -r foo.zip folder
[07:41] <Patrick`> I didn't want to repeat myself
[07:41] <probono> is there a specific reason why loop-mounting fails on the live.cd?
[07:41] <sehute> Patrick`: last time I installed ubuntu, the installation was text-based. Are you installing Edgy Elf?
[07:41] <Patrick`> I have booted off the CD with the graphical installer, which is hanging. I now wish to use the text-based installer without burning a new CD.
[07:41] <Agrajag> sehute: dapper uses a graphical installer
[07:41] <Patrick`> this is just the standard dapper amd64
[07:42] <frying_fish> sehute: the "standard" cd now is a live cd with graphical installer
[07:42] <Agrajag> Patrick`: the text-mode installer is not on the livecd.
[07:42] <sehute> Patrick`: okay, try Ctrl+Alt+F2 up to Ctrl+Alt+F12, until you get a terminal
[07:42] <Patrick`> I cannot, in fact, burn a new CD since the graphical installer has removed the partition that used to contain windows
[07:42] <frying_fish> Patrick`: do you only have the one cd drive? not a cd drive and a separate cd burner?
[07:42] <sehute> Patrick`: ps aux
[07:42] <Patrick`> I'm in a term, I know what to do
[07:42] <Patrick`> frying_fish: nope
[07:42] <sehute> Patrick`: find the pid of the process that has hung itself
[07:42] <frying_fish> dang.
[07:42] <sehute> Patrick`: kill [insert pidnumber here] 
[07:42] <sehute> Patrick`: start installation again ("setup?")
[07:42] <dapet> Anyone can help me with a ndiswrapper compiling http://pastebin.ca/106878 ? I have installed the source files, and i am using this page http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/Installation but can't find my problem
[07:43] <Patrick`> the terminal itself seems to be hanging
[07:43] <sehute> Agrajag: oh, I didn't know, thanks
[07:43] <Patrick`> bizzare
[07:43] <ompaul> dapet, I pointed you to the Ubuntu source of knowledge for that
[07:43] <Patrick`> I'll get back to you
[07:43] <ompaul> !wireless
[07:43] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[07:43] <sehute> frying_fish: tnx
[07:43] <sehute> Patrick`: try disabling acpi
[07:43] <sehute> Patrick`: boot with linux acpi=off
[07:43] <dapet> 1) maybe I can't use it right 2) I can't find the problem
[07:43] <ompaul> dapet, read and navigate that page ubotu has mentioned
[07:44] <mwe> dapet: sudo aptitude install linux-headers-$(uname -r) probably
[07:44] <mwe> dapet: ndiswrapper is already in the kernel modules though
[07:44] <Zambezi> mwe, Thanks. It worked now.
[07:44] <santa99> !mount
[07:45] <santa99> !iso
[07:45] <mwe> Zambezi: well good then
[07:45] <combustible> hi my Ubuntu has broken >:( you know every 20 or 30 boots it checks the drive? well it asked me to do a manual fsck, i did that and now x doesn't work - i can use the CLI. is there an easy way to fix my xorg file? (i can't even remember where xorg is on the drive so i haven't looked at it yet) i need it to work for 1 more day because i'm getting a new computer tomorrow. thanks
[07:45] <bodaciousb> frying_fish, wow, it works now, i swear i did that a year ago on old versions of ubuntu, but... something must have changed in dapper =)
[07:45] <frying_fish> maybe
[07:45] <erider> how do you make gmain-vv use the webcam? Or where do you find the enable button?
[07:45] <mwtb> santa99: mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /mnt/somewhere
[07:45] <ompaul> combustible, after that fsck did you ehhhhhhh reboot

[07:48] <EpP> genceleci, Airport(original) 802.11b
[07:49] <santa99> srikat,  the false drivers loaded on the live CD

[07:50] <genceleci> EpP try installing wpasupplicant
[07:51] <ompaul> nosotros, don't repeat for 10 mins please and don't paste use paste.ubuntu-nl.org thanks

[07:51] <rukuartic> Hey, I have a question here. I seem to have trouble with running multiple applications that require sound. For example, I'm running something under wine, and when I try to play a DVD or something through XMMS, I get a message saying that a program is blocking the sound card. I don't get this problem on my comnputer... Is there something I should install?
[07:51] <santa99> srikat, I also would suggest to install 32 bit
[07:51] <EpP> ok
[07:51] <wheels3572> can anyone help me with some directions on how to setup a static up and port forward?
[07:51] <santa99> srikat, because there is a better software support
[07:51] <srikat> santa99, yep...that's the v. reason am switching to 32bit (at least the OS wise), can't change my processor anyway
[07:52] <EpP> genceleci, ok, it upgraded.
[07:52] <santa99> srikat, be happy with your 64-bit
[07:52] <EpP> restart?

[08:01] <yoshiznit123> someoneelse, chown user[:group]  file
[08:01] <rukuartic> wheels3572: did you get your question answered about installing software not in repos? if you compile it yourself, use checkinstall (in the repos). It makes uninstalling easier! :P
[08:02] <steveire> chown user:user file
[08:02] <steveire> ^^ SomeoneElse
[08:02] <SomeoneElse> thx
[08:02] <rukuartic> Still looking for someone to answer my question about multiple programs using the sound card.
[08:03] <Administrator> does linux-image contains the modules...?
[08:03] <wheels3572> rukuartic, no i didn't get it answered but I am a newbie to Linux :) so I dont dare compile dont evne know how lol
[08:03] <_magnus_> has anyone been able to get sauerbraten installed properly on a dapper 64 bit build?
[08:04] <mayank> hey does any one know how to start 3d chess after installing it on ubuntu
[08:04] <mayank> i tried to locate its bin file through locateeee command but failed
[08:05] <steveire> It should be in the menu
[08:05] <ardchoille> What happened to the bots?
[08:05] <mayank> but synaptic shows it installed properly
[08:05] <combustible> santa99 no i haven't touched xorg.conf, when i try and boot it stops working when it tries to get out of 16 bit color. when the spalsh screen should appear it just says x might not be configured correctly, but like i said i haven't touched it. can i fix my xorg file?
[08:06] <napster> if Install xubuntu now can I later install Ubuntu ?
[08:06] <mayank> no i do not hv it on my menu
[08:06] <rukuartic> wheels3572: its not too difficult, actually its just three commands. (./configure) (make) (make install) or (checkinstall)
[08:06] <santa99> could you pastebin the xorg.conf ?
[08:06] <_magnus_> napster yes
[08:06] <_magnus_> you can have them both
[08:06] <santa99> combustible, could you pastebin the xorg.conf ?
[08:06] <napster> ok
[08:06] <troytroy> hi how do i view hardware conf - modconf seems not working
[08:06] <_magnus_> you choose when logging in which one to use
[08:06] <napster> I don't want them both
[08:07] <_magnus_> well then you can remove xubuntu or ubuntu after you have them installed
[08:07] <wheels3572> rukuartic, the reason I ask this is cuz I see there is a new version of proftpd out there 1.3 and the repos are still using 1.2
[08:07] <napster> ok
[08:07] <combustible> santa99 i'll do it but i'll have to reboot because i'm using XP atm. can you remind the path to xorg.conf please?
[08:07] <fiXXXerMet> I'm installing ubuntu and it's not letting me delete a Logical Volume, or it's Logical Group.  Can I do this later on when ubuntu is done installing?
[08:07] <santa99> /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:08] <rukuartic> wheels3572: oooh I see what you're saying. Er, unless 1.3 adds upgraded essential security (really only needed for big time servers) or must have features, I find no problem in using old software
[08:08] <santa99> combustible, /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:08] <TheMoebius> I'm trying to run an app that requires libOgreMain.so.11, which it says it can't find, but it exists in /usr/local/lib. How can I make sure it look for it there?
[08:08] <mwe> fiXXXerMet: yes
[08:08] <combustible> santa99 thanks, it will take up to 10 minutes as i'll have to boot into Ubuntu, then back to XP
[08:09] <epimer> hi guys
[08:09] <santa99> combustible, ok
[08:09] <epimer> how do i take a screenshot after a short time delay (yep...showing off compiz cube)
[08:09] <wheels3572> rukuartic, ok and the interface is layed out differently too which is much better in my opinion
[08:09] <ardchoille> epimer: gnome-screenshot --delay=5  (where 5 is secoinds)
[08:10] <emir_> EpP
[08:10] <epimer> ardchoille, ty
[08:10] <mwe> epimer: sleep 3; screenshotcommand in a terminal should also work
[08:10] <emir_> where can i change the action of an hotkey?
[08:10] <troytroy> what is the comand syntax similar to modconf
[08:10] <emir_> EpP
[08:11] <[a] crocz> emir_, gconf-editor
[08:11] <emir_> <[a] crocz> thanks
[08:11] <emir_> EpP i am genceleci
[08:11] <Awesome-o2000> is there a way to capture video Im playing with mplayer?
[08:11] <ardchoille> emir_: gnome-keybinding-properties
[08:11] <Paladine> emir, if you open up Gimp and goto File>Aquire>Screenshot
[08:12] <Paladine> you can set a delay there
[08:12] <Awesome-o2000> I am playing it with the caca video device and I want to encrypt the video i'm watching with it
[08:12] <Ace2007> Is anyone :familiar here with dvd::rip? I need some help on how to make it look at the vob dir, there are ripped vob files already there
[08:13] <genceleci> ardchoille gnome-keybinding-properties shows the action and the key for example mail button but i need to change the action when i press the mailbutton
[08:13] <cyphase> can someone package truecrypt for edgy?
[08:13] <ZYlogue> does anyone have any torrent files fo rthe 6.06 dvd?
[08:14] <mwe> ZYlogue: it's on the download page I think
[08:15] <genceleci> [a] crocz how can i change the action of an hotkey with gconf-editor i could not find
[08:15] <ZYlogue> mwe, OK, I will look again...tahnsk...
[08:15] <tailsfan> What version of GTK does Dapper Drake have?
[08:15] <rukuartic> Whell, I'm out everyone. A little bit of searching found the answer. Aduuuurr. :)
[08:15] <tailsfan> I'm to get the matching version of Glib
[08:16] <genceleci> EpP can you connect with WPA?
[08:16] <tailsfan> Anyone?
[08:16] <[a] crocz> genceleci, What do you need to do exactly?
[08:17] <ardchoille> genceleci: Open gconf-editor and go to apps/metacity/global_keybindings and set a keuboard shortcut for one of the "run_command_x" settings. Then go to apps/metacity/keybinding_commands" and set a command for the command (matching number) that you set earlier.
[08:18] <genceleci> [a] crocz i have a notebook using acerhk module to use hotkeys on it for example Mail Button. When i press the mail button it axecutes a command like "evolution" but i want to change it to mozilla-thunderbird
[08:18] <jdmpike> what are good gtk+ alternatives to sound juicer?
[08:19] <_magnus_> has anyone been able to get sauerbraten installed properly on a dapper 64 bit build?
[08:19] <ardchoille> jdmpike: I use grip (need to install lame for ripping to mp3) to rip music cd's
[08:19] <jdmpike> you like grip?
[08:19] <wheels3572> Can anyone help me with gproftpd?  I cant seem to get it to work correctly
[08:19] <ardchoille> jdmpike: Yes, it's quite nice, IMO
[08:19] <[a] crocz> genceleci, You can easily do that by changing your prefered applications
[08:19] <evan_> genceleci, hey sry im back
[08:19] <evan_> genceleci, its EpP
[08:20] <kevinz> hello. I wonder what are the harddisk utilities in linux, for tasks like scanning disk for broken track, etc.
[08:20] <[a] crocz> System > Preferences > Preferred Applications
[08:20] <[a] crocz> -r
[08:20] <genceleci> [a] crocz so i could not find where can i change preffered app.
[08:20] <genceleci> evan_ can you connect with wpa?
[08:20] <evan_> genceleci, no...
[08:21] <evan_> genceleci, now NetworkManager doesnt even show wireless
[08:21] <ompaul> kevinz, you always hope you never need bad block - start with fsck -y on UNmounted partitions
[08:21] <[a] crocz> What do you mean you could not find where you can change prefered apps, I just said where.
[08:21] <genceleci> EpP7 brb
[08:21] <EpP7> genceleci, ok
[08:22] <kevinz> ompaul: ah, UNmounted partitions, so if i need to check / or /home, i may need a livecd?
[08:22] <Ghost_Printer> what's a good substitute for flash player ?
[08:22] <ompaul> kevinz, you can stop a machine as it boots and go into rescue mode
[08:22] <sehute> Ghost_Printer: currently, there isn't
[08:22] <ompaul> kevinz, but live CDs are good
[08:22] <sehute> Ghost_Printer: gnash is on it's way
[08:22] <kevinz> ompaul: ok thanks. i will try fsck -y
[08:22] <Ghost_Printer> ty.......
[08:22] <sehute> Ghost_Printer: wine+firefox+flash9 works, if you're pragmatic
[08:23] <HackerLinux> OLEH
[08:23] <sehute> Ghost_Printer: SVG can replace big parts of it
[08:23] <Ghost_Printer> okay
[08:23] <highvoltage> flash 9 exists yet?
[08:23] <sehute> highvoltage: yes
[08:23] <baconbacon> nit f/ lin
[08:23] <sehute> highvoltage: for windows
[08:23] <sehute> highvoltage: but it works with wine+firefix
[08:24] <sehute> highvoltage: firefox for windows, that is
[08:24] <msl> After installing cvscedega, it claims to only have directX6.0.  Anyone know what I have done wrong?
[08:26] <user_> am thinking about purchasing a usb wireless stick, is there a hardware compatibility list for debian/ubuntu?
[08:27] <nosotros> i need help. i can't open gizmo project, after the log in it says:
[08:27] <nosotros> ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:762:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) The dmix plugin supports only playback stream
[08:27] <nosotros> gizmo: pcm.c:663: snd_pcm_close: Assertion `pcm' failed.
[08:27] <kevinz> ompaul: "fsck -y" is really fast, i used it to check a fat32 partition. So does it check bad block?
[08:27] <genceleci> EpP7 i am back
[08:28] <genceleci> EpP7 so your wireless cannot discover any active network?
[08:29] <ompaul> kevinz, it has no interest in non linux partitions that is the job of a non linux parition "fsck - check and repair a Linux file system" they should be checked with their native operating system
[08:29] <EpP7> genceleci, no
[08:29] <ompaul> !sound > nosotros
[08:30] <EpP7> genceleci, it can just not in network manager now
[08:30] <kevinz> ompaul: i see. i just thought bad block is low level thing that is same to OSs
[08:30] <ompaul> nosotros, read the message from ubotu it might be useful I have no other comments on that subject (sad but true)
[08:30] <genceleci> EpP7, i found a document for you but lost please wait for a while i will find it again
[08:30] <joselecaros> nosotros join #ubuntu-es
[08:31] <ompaul> kevinz, they all "manage" their own relationship with the hardware
[08:32] <_magnus_> has anyone here successfully gotten a broadcom 4306 wireless chipset to work with dapper?
[08:32] <_magnus_> i have it working, it can see the router, the router sees it, but it wont connect
[08:32] <genceleci> EpP7, do you use dapper?
[08:33] <ironmc> I am trying to compile Lopster from a tar file, but I get the message that gcc can't create executables.  any ideas???  Thanks
[08:33] <troytroy> hi do i exit a channel in irssi?
[08:33] <EpP7> genceleci, yes
[08:33] <_magnus_> ironmc: reinstall build-essential
[08:33] <_magnus_> sudo apt-get reinstall build-essential should do it
[08:33] <genceleci> EpP7, look at http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-199100.html
[08:33] <ironmc> thanks magnus
[08:34] <_magnus_> yep, good luck
[08:34] <genceleci> EpP7, try sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter
[08:34] <genceleci> EpP7, and sudo /usr/share/bcm43xx-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh
[08:34] <_magnus_> EpP7, what wireless card?
[08:34] <EpP7> _magnus_, Airport 802.11b
[08:35] <_magnus_> ahh, im having trouble with a BC4306 one
[08:35] <_magnus_> i was trying to avoid using fw cutter
[08:35] <riddlebox> I installed phpmyadmin, but when I go to to it in the browser, it wants me to download the file when I click on it?
[08:35] <EpP7> genceleci, its not airport extreme. its airport original
[08:35] <dapet> How do you load files to the kernel?
[08:35] <[a] crocz> riddlebox, do you have php installed?
[08:35] <riddlebox> crocz, yes I have it installed
[08:36] <genceleci> EpP7, i see
[08:36] <Awesome-o2000> is there any way to capture a video you are watching in mplayer? I want to get a video with that crazy ascii effect of -vo ggi or caca
[08:36] <EpP> genceleci, ok now what?
[08:36] <Kr4t05> Awesome-o2000: not unless you want to mess with ffmpeg or screenkast. :P
[08:37] <Awesome-o2000> Kr4t05, I dont mind, although usually mplayer/mencoder covers what ffmpeg does
[08:37] <_magnus_> record it with a video camcorder awesome-o2000?
[08:37] <_magnus_> :P
[08:37] <Awesome-o2000> :(
[08:37] <_magnus_> or what about opening it up in a video editor
[08:37] <yashachan> Out of curiousity, I'm more of a SuSE user because of my job, but I have an Ubuntu box at home. What's the system tool for Ubuntu called? (Yes, yes, I searched for it but didn't find anything.)
[08:37] <_magnus_> ie: kino
[08:38] <Awesome-o2000> no video editor I know has an ascii conversion tool
[08:38] <sehute> yashachan: what do you mean by system tool?
[08:38] <sehute> yashachan: what is it that you want to do?
[08:38] <_magnus_> ahh forgot
[08:38] <genceleci> EpP7, you can use the driver here http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Linux.Wireless.drivers.802.11b.html#Airport
[08:38] <yashachan> Like SuSE's is YaST.
[08:38] <Evil_Ed`> Hello
[08:38] <TheBlue> yashachan: Ubuntu doesn't have one.
[08:38] <TheBlue> yashachan: It's similar to Debian in that respect.
[08:38] <sehute> yashachan: yast is for pussies ;)
[08:38] <sehute> yashachan: you've got the commandline
[08:39] <sehute> yashachan: and webmin
[08:39] <genceleci> EpP7, what is your kernelversion
[08:39] <sehute> yashachan: and gnome-control and kcontrol
[08:39] <gnomefreak> sehute: yashachan take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:39] <TheBlue> yashachan: You've also got a couple of applets.
[08:39] <hbi> is their a way to have dual screen on my laptop monitor and my monitor..... not the same thing being shown but say a different work space on each screen?
[08:39] <yashachan> sehute: Work is work. My job runs SuSE, so that's what I've gotta use.
[08:39] <_magnus_> hbi: yes
[08:39] <genceleci> EpP7, but this driver info says "Security : 	WEP (based on hardware support)" i realized at the moment
[08:39] <hbi> _magnus_, care to elaborate?
[08:39] <_magnus_> hbi: do you use twinview now?
[08:40] <hbi> nope
[08:40] <_magnus_> how do you have it set up then?
[08:40] <genceleci> EpP7, are you there?
[08:40] <_magnus_> xinerama?
[08:40] <yashachan> gnomefreak: Excuse my apparent unknowing of how things work, but why? I was asking for help and I understand that that's what this chan is for.
[08:40] <hbi> i just have it on my monitor and if i want a clone i use the settings built into my laptop to do it
[08:41] <gnomefreak> yashachan: suse and yast have nothing to do with ubuntu
[08:41] <EpP> genceleci, dunno how do i check?
[08:41] <winball> im trying to edit etc/modules but it's read-only. How can I edit it ?
[08:41] <sehute> gnomefreak: he's trying to find a replacement for ubuntu, that's related
[08:41] <_magnus_> hbi: pastebin your xorg.conf file please
[08:41] <_magnus_> http://crmf.ytmnd.com/
[08:41] <_magnus_> oops
[08:41] <sehute> yashachan: hope one of the tools I mentioned can be of any help
[08:41] <_magnus_> wrong one
[08:41] <yashachan> gnomefreak: I was trying to find the Ubuntu equivalent, that's all.
[08:41] <_magnus_> bhi: http://pastebin.ca/
[08:41] <crocz> gnomefreak, I think you misunderstand yashachan, he's asking for a similar application  to the one he's used to.
[08:41] <crocz> for Ubuntu.
[08:41] <hbi> k old on
[08:41] <ardchoille> winball: gksudo gedit /etc/modules
[08:42] <winball> ardchoille: What's the gk?
[08:42] <hbi> where is my xorg.conf locateD?
[08:42] <yashachan> sehute: I'll be looking into it. I definitely want to get as much experience in a bunch of different distros as I can, and Ubuntu was recommended to me by several people. Thanks for the help.
[08:42] <_magnus_> /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:42] <gnomefreak> crocz: than it must have been sehute only that i should have warned because yast is for has nothing to do with anything
[08:42] <ardchoille> winball: gksudo is for use with graphical apps, while sudo is for command line apps
[08:42] <winball> ardchoille: ok thanks .)
[08:43] <flosch> hi all
[08:43] <crocz> yashachan, if you reformulate the question to ask which application  you could use to comfigure wich aspect of your system, may be you would get some better answers
[08:43] <hbi> _magnus_, says permission denied
[08:43] <_magnus_> sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:43] <genceleci> EpP7, open a console and run "uname -r"
[08:43] <_magnus_> then copy it all, then close it
[08:43] <flosch> does somebody know when Xorg 7 will appear in dapper?
[08:43] <gnomefreak> flosch: Xorg 7 is in dapper
[08:44] <_magnus_> 7.1 is edgy
[08:44] <ardchoille> _magnus_: not a good idea to use sudo with gedit
[08:44] <_magnus_> and its buggy from what ive read
[08:44] <Stokkstein> anybody from norway here?
[08:44] <genceleci> EpP, open a console and run "uname -r"
[08:44] <gnomefreak> Xorg 7.1 will never be in dapper
[08:44] <sehute> Stokkstein: Hi, I am
[08:44] <TheBlue> If anyone wants to learn more about the command line in Ubuntu, I'm holding a mini-class in #theblue
[08:44] <sehute> Stokkstein: Do you have a question?
 what do i type to join this channel
[08:44] <hbi> _magnus_, ive copied it
[08:44] <TheBlue> Paddy_EIRE: /join #theblue
[08:44] <hbi> want the url?
[08:45] <boingolov> why doesn't ubuntu dapper drake have an /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent ?
 pretty simple, nice one
[08:45] <flosch> can i use the edge apt repository in dapper to get more actual software?
[08:45] <TheBlue> Paddy_EIRE: No problem.
[08:45] <_magnus_> http://pastebin.ca
[08:45] <yashachan> crocz: I'll keep that in mind. I just tend to ask questions from a standpoint that I understand.
[08:45] <boingolov> I'm having a driver that can't find firmware, with 2.6.17.7 kernel
[08:45] <hbi> no i mean ive done that
[08:45] <gnomefreak> TheBlue: please keep that out of this channel
[08:45] <hbi> shud i pm u the url of the paste?
[08:45] <_magnus_> ardchoille: why not?  (not being subordinate, just asking)
[08:45] <TheBlue> gnomefreak: Pardon me, then.
[08:45] <_magnus_> hbi: yes
[08:46] <gnomefreak> _magnus_: gksudo for gtk apps as sudo can screw with the permissions
[08:46] <ardchoille> _magnus_: It can cause, among other things, changes to ~/.ICEauthority and ~/.Xauthority files making it so the user cannot log in
[08:46] <_magnus_> ok, thx
[08:46] <sehute> Stokkstein: ?
[08:47] <Stokkstein> sehute : private
[08:48] <sehute> Stokkstein: I've already started a /query window
[08:48] <yashachan> And now for my next question. I have a user elsewhere who's trying to get an nVidia driver installed, but they didn't have gcc installed. After they'd gotten that installed, they received another error, of which I'm not familiar with. The user is telling that it says: unable to find kernel source tree for currently running kernel
[08:48] <yashachan> Any ideas?
[08:48] <Stokkstein> yes and i have answered you in that window,
[08:49] <gnomefreak> yashachan: linux-restricted-modules
[08:49] <gnomefreak> !nvidia
[08:49] <gnomefreak> damn
[08:49] <gnomefreak> just talking about that
[08:49] <sehute> Stokkstein: skriv /query sehute   , s snakkes vi der
[08:49] <gnomefreak> brb
[08:49] <Stokkstein> is it only enlish in channel?
[08:50] <Stokkstein> query sehute
[08:50] <sehute> Stokkstein: ta med skrstreken: /query sehute
[08:50] <Stokkstein> prvde det
[08:50] <gnomefreak> Stokkstein: yes english only
[08:50] <Stokkstein> ok sorry
[08:50] <Kr4t05> !de
[08:50] <gnomefreak> Stokkstein: join #ubuntu-de
[08:50] <sehute> gnomefreak: I'm trying to guide him into a query-window, so please excuse us if some norwegian pops up :)
[08:51] <gnomefreak> Kr4t05: bots are not here
[08:51] <Kr4t05> ?
[08:51] <gnomefreak> Kr4t05: we are working on it
[08:51] <sehute> Stokkstein: if that didn't work, try "/join #ubuntu-no"
[08:51] <gnomefreak> well he is
[08:52] <yashachan> gnomefreak: Well, how I can I get this user around this issue? Does he need to restart or what?
[08:52] <rbond> Question: I am really having a strange problem with Mplayer. The problem is that when I use XV acceleration the video will play slowly. The video does not appear to be choppy. I have verified that I have updated my ATI drivers to 3D acceleration via fglrxinfo. Also xvinfo shows my adapter being listed. The machine has been restarted as well. Can anyone please tell me what is going on?
[08:53] <gnomefreak> yashachan: he needs to either install nvidia-glx for the ubuntu nvidia drivers or he needs to search for linux-restricted in synaptic and install the ones for his kernel
[08:53] <gnomefreak> yashachan: go to wiki.ubuntu.com  and search for nvidia
[08:53] <Munchkinguy> Which file do I edit to configure Xorg?
[08:53] <gnomefreak> i cant remember the page off hand
[08:54] <rbond> also to add to my question glxgears runs between 6000-7500 fps
[08:54] <rbond> Munchinguy: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:55] <Munchkinguy> rbond: Thank you.

[08:56] <PenguinOfDoom> What causes the ipv6 module to be loaded automatically at startup?
[08:57] <finalbeta> What program do I use to read teletext info from my tv card
[08:57] <magnus87> rbond - is it with all video files?  what about a different video player
[08:57] <yashachan> gnomefreak: Correct me if I'm wrong, but that would get the nVidia drivers included with Ubuntu installed.
[08:57] <yashachan> gnomefreak: Are those the same or different than the Linux IA32 drivers that nVidia provides?
[08:57] <gnomefreak> yashachan: yes if you apt-get install nvidia-glx
[08:58] <rbond> magnus87: yes all files. VLC will work perfectly
[08:58] <gnomefreak> yashachan: they should be for most part same
[08:58] <napster> Do I need to rename the .iso image file for xubuntu ?
[08:58] <magnus87> so its just mplayer?  hmm...
[08:58] <rbond> magnus87: yeah it is the strangest thing
[08:58] <Ademan>  is there a compiz development channel?
[08:59] <rbond> magnus87: Now something I will notice about VLC is that sometimes the sound will turn off intermittently
[08:59] <magnus87> what is your default sound audio device in mplayer > preferences > audio?
[08:59] <rbond> if I can get that problem out of the way, then I will integrate VLC with mozilla
[08:59] <gnomefreak> Ademan: #ubuntu-motu i think handles compiz
[08:59] <magnus87> it could have to do with that....
[08:59] <rbond> checking...
[09:00] <rbond> magnus87: ALSA
[09:00] <rbond> and default for devices
[09:00] <Ademan> thanks gnomefreak i'll check it out
[09:00] <gnomefreak> Ademan: thats for ubuntus compiz if you want compiz in general you might try in #suse somewhere
[09:00] <sehute> gnomefreak: #ubuntu-no has a lot of people that speak norwegian, just in case you would be interested in knowing this :)
[09:01] <Ademan> gnomefreak: thanks
[09:01] <gnomefreak> sehute: yes i know
[09:01] <magnus87> rbond - got me then, im not sure, unless the codecs arent install properly
[09:01] <gnomefreak> sehute: thats one reason to keep this channel english only
[09:01] <sehute> gnomefreak: very well
[09:02] <rbond> magnus87: I know what you are saying. I don't believe that it is the codecs as it works perfectly on other players. I think I am going to stick with VLC and integrated the plugin into mozilla
[09:02] <znyrk> I need some help with Ubuntu/GNOME, I rebooted after installing some updates and stuff, and now my GNOME GUI has dissapeared, I can only see desktop icons.
[09:02] <magnus87> sounds like a good solution
[09:02] <magnus87> either that or post on ubuntuforums
[09:03] <rbond> yeah I am going to try that
[09:03] <magnus87> im not sure but building mplayer from source might fix it (just a guess)
[09:03] <rbond> thanks anyway
[09:03] <magnus87> did you install from the repo?
[09:03] <rbond> directly form repo
[09:03] <rbond> from
[09:03] <rbond> I could try that
[09:04] <magnus87> yeah, you need to do that for wmv support afaik
[09:04] <crocz> rbond, , tried other codecs ?
[09:04] <sysrpl> hello, in gimp ... how cna i reduce a greyscale gif to two colors?
[09:04] <magnus87> so maybe other codecs are picky too
[09:04] <crocz> instead of xv
[09:04] <garryF> I have this evil desire to go to the Kernel irc and say "I found a bug in the linux kernel, but I don't know where to report it. I just started using Linux yesterday. Can anyone help me?!?" I think I need a refer to IdioticSmartaleksAnonymous. :) Sorry, I'm in a silly moood today.
[09:04] <rbond> crocz, tried x11, too slow
[09:04] <magnus87> lol
[09:05] <Towering> ok, what's the trick to get Internet Explorer installed under WINE?
[09:06] <garryF> This fellow wrote on one of the blogs a nice article on kernel Myths. Full of nice pictures and all. He spoke about plug and play, which in Migrainespeak I call plug and pray.
[09:06] <ardchoille> Towering: /join #winehq
[09:06] <crocz> rbond, have you tried to remove mplayer completely (--purge) and reinstall it ?
[09:06] <magnus87> towering: im not sure but you could try maxthon instead, it uses the IE engine
[09:06] <rbond> crocz, tried gl and I got the error: [gl]  could not aquire buffer for dr  followed by Expect a_major _speed penalty
[09:06] <crocz> in case you are on an AMD64 may be installing mplayer32 would help
[09:06] <znyrk> I need some help with Ubuntu/GNOME, I rebooted after installing some updates and stuff, and now my GNOME GUI has dissapeared, I can only see desktop icons, any suggestions?
[09:06] <jroes> does anyone know what creates the /dev/video or /dev/video0 device?
[09:06] <crocz> rbond, using XGL?
[09:06] <crocz> (compiz)
[09:07] <psycose> Hi, i'm trying to know more about this error "pppd[6548] : Protocol-Reject for unsupported protocol 0x148" if you have any tips ...
[09:07] <Towering> never heard of maxthon
[09:07] <Towering> i just want to get Yahoo Launchcast radio on here
[09:07] <magnus87> its free
[09:07] <magnus87> towring: http://www.maxthon.com/    I used to have my parents use it on their computer when a lot of sites wouldnt render in FF properly
[09:07] <magnus87> apparently its HUGE in japan as well
 i have never fiqured this one out, use sudo apt-get install streamtunner
[09:08] <magnus87> no guarantee it will work but it could be quicker to try installing it than fixing your IE attempt
[09:08] <takitus> would anyone be able to help me out with some graphics issues in ubuntu?
[09:08] <takitus> I am unable to read a few lines at the bottom of my screen for some reason
[09:09] <sehute> takitus: does your screen have an "auto" button?
[09:09] <bbrazil> takitus: cehck your monitor settings?
[09:09] <takitus> sehute yes it doesnt fix the problem
[09:09] <sehute> takitus: is it in textmode or graphical mode?
[09:09] <takitus> sehute nor does manually adjusting it
[09:09] <Towering> as long as i can d'l and install Yahoo Music Engine, which is the Launchcast Radio that they have my profile saved on, i'm happy
[09:09] <garryF> takitus: I had issues like that, and found I had scrolled up and didn't notice.
[09:10] <takitus> garryF it does it every time without me doing anything... and I cannot scroll down
[09:10] <sehute> takitus: shift+end ?
[09:10] <corni> da steht nun dass ich schon eine neuere version habe
[09:10] <takitus> sehute in GUI it is fine.. but if I ctrl-alt-f1 there is a porblem
[09:10] <garryF> yeah, I figured that wasn't the issue with your missing lines.
[09:10] <sehute> takitus: good, then we're one step closer to a solution
[09:10] <rbond> crocz, reinstalling help it with --purge thanks
[09:10] <gnomefreak> corni: join #ubuntu-de
[09:11] <sehute> takitus: did shift+end work?
[09:11] <takitus> let me try that
[09:11] <takitus> nope
[09:11] <sehute> takitus: do you know if you use framebuffer for the textmode?
[09:12] <takitus> sehute not sure... how do i check
[09:12] <sehute> takitus: if you do, it'll probably work if you turn it off. If you don't, it will probably work if you turn it on.
[09:12] <lecaros> is there any binary like php4-gd than works with php5?
[09:12] <rbond> crocz, actually it was working perfectly but then the framerate dropped
[09:12] <sehute> takitus: lsmod | grep fb
[09:12] <sehute> takitus: I think
[09:12] <garryF> Hmmm, does grub accept vga= parameters? Maybe takitus might be able to solve it by using a different value.
[09:12] <sehute> garryF: that might very well be
[09:12] <Towering> well, the apt-get command didn't work, going to try maxthron now
[09:13] <takitus> sehute it gives me a few lines of stuff.. vga16fb, vgastate, fbcon
[09:13] <takitus> etc
[09:13] <sehute> takitus: then my guess is that you wish to turn off framebuffer for the console
[09:13] <takitus> sehute how i do that
[09:13] <sehute> takitus: or perhaps change the framebuffer resolution
[09:13] <sehute> takitus: unfortunately, you've reached the end of my knowledge
[09:13] <takitus> sehute that would probably be ideal
[09:14] <garryF> I'm vertical, but my brain still thinks I'm still asleep and I think its correct, or I'd remember where to put the line.
[09:14] <sehute> garryF: do you know how to change the resolution in the framebuffer console?
[09:14] <takitus> does anyone know how to turn off the framebuffer or change the resolution?
[09:14] <lecaros> anybody ? :s
[09:14] <sehute> takitus: http://www.digitalhermit.com/linux/hiresconsole.html
[09:14] <garryF> It might be in xorg.conf too. hmmm
[09:14] <sehute> takitus: I think that guide might help you
[09:14] <help-the-n00b> Where can I find a secific artist on streamtuner?
[09:15] <garryF> !framebuffer
[09:15] <lecaros> !gd
[09:15] <garryF> oops, dead bot
[09:15] <gnomefreak> help-the-n00b: try asking in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[09:15] <gnomefreak> lecaros: there is no bot in the channel
[09:15] <lecaros> gnomefreak, yup :(
[09:15] <gnomefreak> lecaros: working on it
[09:16] <garryF> yep, ubotu had to go eat breakfast.
[09:16] <lecaros> gnomefreak, thanks
[09:16] <[b] urk> hello

[09:16] <[b] urk> do you ppl know how to make gaim start in workspace 4?
[09:16] <sehute> takitus: vga=792
[09:16] <Towering> maxthon gives a black screen
[09:16] <sehute> takitus: that one might fix it for you
[09:16] <cadmasteradam> how do u make mp3 and other music types work and play in ubuntu
[09:16] <sehute> takitus: do you use grub or lilo? (grub, I guess)
[09:17] <takitus> sehute grub
[09:17] <takitus> sehute i installed ubuntu for the first time
[09:17] <takitus> so i dont really know any of this stuff
[09:17] <sehute> takitus: I see. Hang on and I'll give you a solution I think might work :)
[09:18] <cadmasteradam>  how do u make mp3 and other music types work and play in ubuntu
[09:18] <rsk> cadmasteradam, there  is google you know
[09:19] <tuxtux> ciao
[09:19] <sehute> takitus: okay
[09:19] <garryF> I toook a look and the comments in /boot/grub/menu.lst tells you how to use vga=XXX after defoptions in the file so that's where it goes.
[09:19] <sehute> takitus: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:20] <sehute> takitus: do you find a line that contains the numbers "791"?
[09:20] <sehute> takitus: in my menu.lst, it's on line nr 81
[09:20] <napster> I GOT XUBUNTU FINALLY, I LOVE EVERYONE
[09:20] <napster> :))))
[09:20] <sehute> napster: rere, xubuntu is great
[09:20] <takitus> sehute that command you said didnt work for me
[09:21] <garryF> Even bill gates?
[09:21] <napster> Well not him so much but...
[09:21] <sehute> takitus: okay, if you press alt+f2, then type "gnome-terminal", a window pops up, right?
[09:21] <garryF> There is a comment in the menu.lst that tells you about putting vga= lines in there.
[09:21] <sehute> garryF: eggzackly :)
[09:22] <sehute> garryF: the big question is, which vga-number would solve the problem? :)
[09:22] <garryF> sehute I love the helpful comments. Yeah, which number is exactly the question as well.
[09:22] <sehute> garryF: me too
[09:22] <takitus> sehute - warning cannot open display
[09:22] <sehute> takitus: ahhh, you're at the console :)
[09:22] <Far^Side> will kernel 2.6.18 be released for Dapper or do I need to use Edgy to get that?
[09:23] <Seveas> Far^Side, you'll need the version after edgy
[09:23] <gnomefreak> Far^Side: neither will have 2.6.18
[09:23] <sehute> takitus: you are using ubuntu dapper? Are you using irc in textmode?
[09:23] <buddhalover> Hello everyone. :)

[09:24] <takitus> in terminal im fine
[09:24] <sehute> takitus: okay, if you type in "sudo vim /boot/grub/menu.lst"

[09:24] <cyphase> anyone going to liunxworld or ubucon?
[09:25] <Maciek> I have Dapper Drake and I have a little problem - When I am watching movies in Totem everything is okay, but in fullscreen it really sucks (sorry for my english, but I'm from Poland)
[09:25] <sehute> takitus: does your line look like this: ## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5
[09:25] <gnomefreak> cyphase: please ask that in #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:25] <cyphase> Maciek: your english is fine

[09:25] <takitus> defoptions=vga=791
[09:25] <Maciek> crocz: I don't know how to say this
[09:25] <sehute> takitus: that is the entire line? promise?
[09:26] <sehute> takitus: doesn't start with # or anything?
[09:26] <crocz> Hmm, slow?
[09:26] <takitus> sehute entire line is "# e.g. defoptions=vtga=791 resume=/dev/hda5"
[09:26] <Maciek> there's too little frames per second
[09:26] <sehute> takitus: ah, okay
[09:26] <takitus> er ## i mean
[09:27] <crocz> Maciek, ah ok. Do you have accel on?
[09:27] <sehute> takitus: in that case, type in: odefoptions=vga=791
[09:27] <crocz> Maciek, have you also tried Mplayer?
[09:27] <sehute> takitus: thenn press Escape
[09:27] <Maciek> I don't know, I have S3Savage8 graphic card
[09:27] <sehute> takitus: then type ZZ
[09:27] <sehute> takitus: hopefully, the problem will be solved now
[09:27] <sehute> takitus: next time you reboot
[09:28] <takitus> ok lemme try
[09:28] <sehute> takitus: I'm 83% sure of it

[09:28] <sehute> takitus:  :)
[09:28] <takitus> sehute... then you can help me install my nvidia drivers which is the real problem =)
[09:29] <crocz> Maciek, hehe I suck when it comes to non-nvidia cards, but may be you need to install DRI and libmesa
[09:29] <sehute> sehute: install easyubuntu, and the nvidia-drivers will almost beg you to install themselves automagically
[09:29] <Redsnak3> alguien
[09:29] <Redsnak3> que me pueda

[09:33] <crocz> Maciek, am using totem-xine with the gstreamers codecs / libs installed
[09:33] <sehute> takitus: hm
[09:33] <sehute> takitus: it might help to change that vga-number to something else
[09:33] <crocz> Maciek, but usually I simply use Mplayer ..

[09:33] <Redsnak3> i speak spanish :(
[09:34] <sehute> Redsnak3: #ubuntu-es might speak spanish

[09:35] <napster> Can I use my USB mp3 player on xubuntu ? And does xubuntu supports mp3 format for playing music files?
[09:35] <PKR_> how do I install java in firefox?
[09:35] <Maciek> crocz: how can I turn on Direct Rendering?
[09:35] <rsk> PKR_, with apt-get

[09:35] <rexbinary> factotum, I run xubuntu on a G3 and yes it is faster the OS X on that machine
[09:36] <napster> PKR_, go to sunjavasystems.com
[09:36] <crocz> Maciek, that is what I said earlier on. get DRI and Mesa working
[09:36] <garryF> Recently, I went here and said my computer was restarting instead of shutting down no matter what os I was using. All replying said replace motherboard. Turns out it was the newest bios a year old for this D865 perl mb. It has a bug. I had to drop back to version 19 from 21. There is no version 20.
[09:36] <gnomefreak> PKR_: sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre
[09:36] <gnomefreak> napster: java is now in ubuntu repos
[09:36] <napster> ok
[09:36] <cyber_brain_mfkg> please give me an example for chmod
[09:36] <garryF> So, I wanted to say this incase, anyone else has same problem. Sometimes it can be just the bios.
[09:37] <PKR_> gnomefreak: i tried with sun-java5-bin but nothing happend, is the jre different?
[09:37] <cyber_brain_mfkg> sudo chmod -ugo +rwe????
[09:37] <gnomefreak> cyber_brain_mfkg: chmod a+x file

[09:37] <gnomefreak> PKR_: did you do sudo update-alternaitves --config java?
[09:37] <garryF> Should just show up when you plug it in without you having to do anything special napster
[09:37] <cyber_brain_mfkg> :D
[09:37] <Maciek> crocz: Do I have to install any packages or configure something to enable DRI and Mesa?
[09:37] <PKR_> gnomefreak:  no
[09:38] <napster> CAN I USE MY USB FLASH DRIVE ON XUBUNTU ???
[09:38] <Dr_Willis> !sound

[09:38] <garryF> Yes, just plug it in.
[09:38] <Dr_Willis> napster,  YeS!!!!!
[09:38] <gnomefreak> napster: yes plug it in
[09:38] <napster> OK, OK
[09:38] <ompaul> !cs m napster
[09:38] <crocz> Maciek, yes.. I guess .. like I said though ... I such when it comes to non-nvidia cards
[09:38] <garryF> No plug and pray, just plug and play.
[09:38] <gnomefreak> ompaul: no bot
[09:38] <_stev_> napster: do a dmesg and look for sda...sudo mount /dev/sda<number> /media/usb
[09:39] <ompaul> gnomefreak, read it again
[09:39] <Ace_NoOne|UK> quick newbie question: my laptop's HDD is about to crash, I believe, so I wanna take that as an incentive to finally(!) try out Linux - namely, Ubunto
[09:39] <gnomefreak> i did
[09:39] <gnomefreak> ;)
[09:39] <Ace_NoOne|UK> *Ubuntu
[09:39] <nomike> hi
[09:39] <steveire> Ace_NoOne|UK: What? You're harddrive is about to crash?
[09:39] <nomike> does someone know how to leave fullscreen mode in tightvnc-viewer?
[09:40] <gnomefreak> while your here ompaul im gonna grab a smoke before you go to bed
[09:40] <PKR_> gnomefreak: but i have installed it but nothing shows up in firefox
[09:40] <Ace_NoOne|UK> steveire: I'm afraid that's what it looks like; WinXP gave me a BSoD this morning, which indicated that might be the case
[09:40] <steveire> Ace_NoOne|UK: What's the question anywho...
[09:40] <garryF> Trying a new OS on a dying hard drive is like trying to ice skate for the first time blind folded without a helmet.
[09:40] <gnomefreak> PKR_: run the command i gave you and choose the java that you ionstalled
[09:40] <Ace_NoOne|UK> typing :D
[09:40] <steveire> It's easy to install if that's what you want to ask
[09:40] <Ace_NoOne|UK> so can I install Ubuntu on my external (USB-connected) HDD and boot from there without endangering the data on that HDD
[09:40] <InterNut> if i have a ubuntu box configed with drivers for a nvidia card, and change to a ATI card, do i need to reinstall ubuntu?
[09:40] <PKR_> gnomefreak: ok, thanks
[09:41] <Ace_NoOne|UK> the external HDD is NTFS btw D:
[09:41] <garryF> but if the ice is already cracked and your just doing it for fun, have at it. :)
[09:41] <steveire> Ace_NoOne|UK: I'm not aware of people doing that, but maybe someone else is. I'd say make a partition in the internal hd
[09:41] <ompaul> gnomefreak, I thought you were gone already
[09:41] <Renan_s2> !xfce
[09:42] <Ace_NoOne|UK> steveire: but that's about to smoke off...
[09:42] <Paddy_EIRE> where do i get templates for create file
[09:42] <PKR_> gnomefreak: i have three alternatives. which should i choose?
[09:43] <steveire> So is this a temporary measure Ace_NoOne|UK?
[09:43] <Ace_NoOne|UK> for now, yes
[09:43] <garryF> Well, maybe the linux will unsmoke it.
[09:43] <ompaul> PKR_, gnomefreak gone for a smoke
[09:43] <garryF> lol
[09:43] <Renan_s2> Is there any way to merge 2 partitions *without formatting them*?
[09:44] <steveire> You could use a liveCD and save any data to the external hd as an alternative. It would save you installig
[09:44] <_stev_> Ace_NoOne|UK: your pc must be able to boot from your usb driver, you can also use a live cd, and copy the files to your hd usb drive
[09:44] <PKR_> ompaul: ok
[09:44] <print_r> Hey guys, you know any good content on securing your Ubuntu web server (can be short, can be exhaustive and detailed, I don't care)?
 when i right click and goto create file there is only a text file to create, do you know where i get the templtes
[09:45] <gnomefreak> PKR_: the one for java 1.5
[09:45] <gnomefreak> it might be the last one
[09:45] <euly> hi
[09:45] <euly> anyone familiar with irssi?
[09:45] <euly> what is this "irc name" in the whois?
[09:45] <euly> is this the linux username passed on?
[09:45] <Flannel> euly: usually, yeah.
[09:45] <steveire> I don't know what templates you mean. Is this something to do with giFT?
[09:45] <drega> print_r, googling securing apache2 on ubuntu gives some good results
[09:46] <euly> Flannel: Isnt that a bit of a bad habbit? How can I change it to something else?
[09:46] <garryF> I hear virus writers saying, there is no more glory in writing windows viruses cause its so buggy, it dont' need their help to crash.
[09:46] <lhds> my friend gave me a .tar install can i unpack and install under ubuntu? and how?
[09:46] <Ace_NoOne|UK> steveire: I believe this PC is capable of booting from USB
[09:46] <PKR_> gnomefreak: firefox says additional plugons are required
[09:46] <JohnRobert> print_r, son of printf
[09:46] <Ace_NoOne|UK> that live CD idea is not bad, actually
[09:46] <JohnRobert> brother of sprintf
[09:46] <gnomefreak> PKR_: install sun-java5-plugin
[09:46] <Ace_NoOne|UK> which files would I have to copy to the external HDD then
[09:46] <Paddy_EIRE> no, when i right click desktop for e.g then choose create document > (no templates installed)
[09:46] <InterNut> if i have a ubuntu box configed with drivers for a nvidia card, and change to a ATI card, do i need to reinstall ubuntu?
[09:46] <PKR_> gnomefreak: ok, thanks !
 Well, maybe the linux will unsmoke it. <-- I believe the internal HDD is seriously "b0rked", so that's quite unlikely I'm afraid
[09:47] <lhds> my friend gave me a .tar install can i unpack and install under ubuntu? and how?
[09:47] <_stev_> lhds: sudo tar xfv <tarfile>
[09:47] <lhds> thnx stev
[09:47] <Redsnak3> ubuntu-es is sleeping user
[09:47] <Redsnak3> lol
[09:47] <trafiq> ye edgy working ;)
[09:48] <trafiq> now time to compile new kernel ;)
[09:48] <steveire> that's strange Paddy_EIRE. I have no idea. When did they disappear?
[09:48] <Paddy_EIRE> they where never there
[09:48] <garryF> Yeah. I was thinking if it started behaving, than you might find out that the cause is elsewhere. It would be a good final test to see if the drive is truly borked or if the os is goofing, unless its a smardrive and your bios says its dying.
[09:48] <Paddy_EIRE> thought it was anoying
[09:48] <Redsnak3> i cant install the wine. i dowloaded the program in my desktop but i cant install :S
[09:49] <Ace_NoOne|UK> garry: I guess I'll try that with the live CD then - can I create a live CD from the standard desktop ISO image? or is that already a live CD?
[09:49] <PKR_> gnomefreak: the java now works, thanks!
[09:49] <garryF> more info please Redsnak3
[09:49] <gnomefreak> yw
[09:49] <Redsnak3> i try the command
[09:49] <Redsnak3> sudo apt-get wine
[09:49] <Redsnak3> and nothing
[09:49] <Redsnak3> xd
[09:50] <Redsnak3> sudo apt-get install wine
[09:50] <Redsnak3> i cant
[09:50] <garryF> need to open up package manager, search for wine, then install from there.
[09:50] <steveire> !enter
[09:50] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[09:50] <Flannel> Redsnak3: You need to enable universe
[09:51] <FurryNemesis> !gnokii
[09:51] <ubotu> I know nothing about gnokii - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[09:51] <takitus> so I installed easyubuntu and the nvidia drivers and my video is still messy.. choppy etc.. any advice?
[09:51] <Redsnak3> hhmm
[09:51] <Redsnak3> enable universe
[09:51] <Redsnak3> where?
[09:51] <Redsnak3> lol
[09:51] <mc__> !automaitx > takitus
[09:51] <ubotu> I know nothing about automaitx  - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[09:51] <Flannel> !repositories
[09:51] <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
[09:51] <mc__> !easysource > takitus
[09:51] <takitus> mc___ ?
[09:51] <Flannel> Redsnak3: second link
[09:51] <mc__> !ati > takitus
[09:52] <_stev_> Redsnak3: sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:52] <garryF> As for choppiness, I have read that enabling framebuffers can cause choppiness in the gui. It was under google framebuffer ubuntu
[09:53] <Flannel> _stev_: don't be silly.  If youre going to suggest something, might as well suggest nano ;)  But theres plenty of ways for him to go it via the GUI anyway
[09:53] <Ademan> is there a mesa channel
[09:53] <_stev_> Flannel: well I thought that was the easiest way
[09:54] <garryF> I see a mesa channel. It had one user there.
[09:55] <Ademan> hehe
[09:55] <Ademan> it was me
[09:55] <Ademan> i tried it too
[09:55] <garryF> hehe
[09:56] <garryF> I think easyubuntu installed my mesa stuff, but last I heard. folks have been having "Funstration" with easyubuntu.
[09:56] <garryF> It was more like easybork for awhile
[09:57] <sehute> takitus: did you find a vga-number that worked?
[09:57] <Redsnak3> :S
[09:57] <Dr_Willis> garryF,  i tried to get it to install the ati drivers.. and it failed
[09:57] <bartist> hello all
[09:57] <crocz> Hi
[09:57] <sehute> takitus: here's a table of vga-codes: http://www.mepis.org/node/2992
[09:57] <garryF> Dr_Willis I'm not surprised.
[09:57] <Redsnak3> who enable universal
[09:57] <Redsnak3> lol
[09:57] <Redsnak3> sources.list
[09:57] <Redsnak3> :S
[09:58] <bartist> i'am quite new to linux
[09:58] <sehute> takitus: 771 might work for you
[09:58] <sehute> takitus: and "nano" is more new-user-friendly than vim
[09:58] <bartist> why when i want to remove programs, junk files remains?
[09:58] <Ademan> bartist: we all were at one time :-)
[09:58] <Flannel> Redsnak3: did you read that second link?
[09:58] <sehute> takitus: sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst, that is
[09:58] <Ademan> bartist: how did you install the program and how did you remove it?
[09:59] <ulisse> hello tribe!
[09:59] <garryF> There also exists a vga=normal at least in slackware there was, and it was a sort of safe onethat would work on any monitor except those on etch-a-sketch laptops.
[09:59] <crocz> bartist, you can completely remove stuff using apt-get remove --purge <package_name>
[09:59] <_stev_> Redsnak3: what have you done already?
[09:59] <ulisse> wahat does it means if in 'ls' output I have some folders with green backround an blue text?
[10:00] <bartist> with the purge comand
[10:00] <bartist> junk files remain in the home folfer
[10:00] <bartist> like .gtk-gnutella
[10:00] <sehute> haha, he said folfer
[10:00] <sehute> ;)
[10:00] <bartist> or .amule
[10:00] <bartist> folder sorry
[10:00] <sehute> bartist: just joking ;)
[10:01] <Dr_Willis> bartist,  you really dont want to be auto-removing dirs in the users home dirs ..
[10:01] <ompaul> garryF, thjat is vga=771
[10:01] <bartist> but why when I do purge command in term, .whatever folders of the uninstalled program remain in the home foldeR?
[10:02] <garryF> ompaul Nice to know. Thanks.
[10:02] <rambo3> no more then 5 files to compile . 50 deps needed.  no wonder its called brutal chess
[10:02] <bbrazil> bartist: because that would be very dangerous
[10:02] <Dr_Willis> bartist,  becase they are in the HOME folders.
[10:02] <garryF> Next version is Sadistachess
[10:02] <bartist> I've never removed folders manualy
[10:02] <Dr_Willis> bartist,  puge removes the system wide configs and stuff that users dont mess with
[10:02] <takitus> can anyone help me install my nvidia drivers?
[10:03] <_stev_> bartist: you have to delete your hidden files separate in your home folder (for example: you wan't to remove firefox and all your extensions, plugins and bookmarks are also gone, you don't want that, do you?)
[10:03] <takitus> ive tried 2 different methods and neither of them work
[10:03] <garryF> !nvidia > takitus
[10:03] <Dr_Willis> Plus what if a user had their .whatever folder linked to some other imporntant folder.
[10:03] <garryF> oh
[10:03] <Jack_Sparrow> !ati
[10:03] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[10:03] <takitus> garryF I just tried that
[10:03] <crocz> bartist, those maps contain your own configuration. If you remove a program and keep your config (your own config) that comes in handy more often than you think
[10:03] <garryF> what model nvidia card?
[10:04] <takitus> 4400 mx
[10:04] <bartist> it means that whenever i use "apt-get --purge romve" command
[10:04] <bartist> it will leave folders in the home folder?
[10:04] <crocz> bartist, I even have my /home on another mount point so I never lose my config. Also if you want to remove a special map0 just do rm -rf <map_name>
[10:04] <Asc> where would I change which volume (master, PCM, etc.) control the control-+/- hotkeys chance?
[10:05] <Asc> change, even
[10:05] <crocz> bartist, they don't even take lots of space ... so just an advice, keep them
[10:05] <crocz> Asc, alsa config file I am guessing.
[10:05] <ptley> Asc: kmixer lets you use keyboard shortcuts iirc, I use them to change just left and right channels
[10:05] <takitus> garryF 4400mx
[10:05] <crocz> discard that.
[10:05] <FurryNemesis> takitus, are you using the legacy driver?
[10:06] <takitus> FurryNemesis I dont know
[10:06] <bartist> Whenever i uninstall a program, it will always leave ".removedprogramfolder" in my home folder. Is that correct?
[10:06] <garryF> looking ...
[10:06] <sehute> bartist: no
[10:06] <ulisse> what does "ow" means in dircolor?
[10:06] <Asc> okay, thanks
[10:07] <mwe> bartist: the uninstall procedure doesn't include removing every users settings for the program, so yes
[10:07] <crocz> bartist, yes
[10:07] <bartist> ok thank you guys
[10:07] <sehute> takitus: tried easyubuntu?
[10:08] <FurryNemesis> takitus, tried installing through synaptic?
[10:08] <takitus> sehute yes i still ahve choppy movement etc
[10:08] <takitus> furry i dont know how to do that
[10:08] <garryF> takitus: I don't see that card listed under supported video cards.
[10:08] <takitus> FurryNemesis I think i have it set up but the drivers dont seem to be helping any
[10:08] <sehute> takitus: what does glxgears say?
[10:09] <takitus> garryF sorry its GeForce4 MX 4000
[10:09] <takitus> garryF its in the list
[10:09] <sehute> takitus: have you run: sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[10:09] <sehute> takitus: ?
[10:09] <takitus> sehute that wont work for some reason... gives an error
[10:09] <Muc> Hi, I have just installed my second Ubuntu box at home and I'm trying to connect both of them to share some dirs & the internet connectinon. Can anybody help me? Thanks
[10:09] <sehute> takitus: hm
[10:09] <FurryNemesis> takitus, what does nvidia-glx-config give you?
[10:09] <takitus> error your X configuration has been altered. This script cannot proceed automatically
[10:09] <sehute> Muc: zeroconf
[10:10] <FurryNemesis> aha
[10:10] <garryF> oh sec takitus
[10:10] <lhds> how to install a .deb package i donwload it
[10:10] <Awesome-o2000> ouch
[10:10] <Mojo> Is it all right to ask a Ubuntu PPC oriented question here?
[10:10] <sehute> lhds: sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb
[10:10] <Muc> sehute: I can't see zeroconf :(
[10:10] <steveire> dpgk -i *.deb
[10:10] <sehute> Muc: sudo aptitude install zeroconf
[10:10] <Mojo> Or is there a special channel for that?
[10:10] <sehute> Muc: try google, manpages and apt-cache show zeroconf as well
[10:10] <Muc> thanks
[10:11] <sehute> Muc: I've never used it, but I think that's the solution
[10:11] <bartist> so if i want to COMPLETELY remove a program
[10:11] <bartist> what do i have to do?
[10:11] <bartist> do i have to remove those folders in the home folder manualy?
[10:11] <bartist> are they other files that are not removed when uninstalling a program?
[10:11] <takitus> FurryNemesis same error... your X configuration has been altered etc etc
[10:11] <garryF> takitus:  Or try this line sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg if the other stuff don't work.
[10:11] <ptley> is zeroconf even in the standard repositories
[10:11] <steveire> sudo aptitude purge package
[10:11] <mwtb> Is the mount.cifs -V version the same as the version of cifs vfs all in?
[10:11] <FurryNemesis> ok
[10:11] <FurryNemesis> tak
[10:11] <commctrl> bartist, apt-get --purge remove <package>
[10:11] <FurryNemesis> takitus,
[10:11] <steveire> also removes config files
[10:11] <Muc> it's not working...
[10:11] <takitus> FurryNemesis ya?
[10:11] <FurryNemesis> you need to reconfigure X to take advantage of the new drivers
[10:12] <bosco> yo is there anywhere to regrab my sources list a fresh one i have messed with mine so much i just want to start over
[10:12] <bosco> like the
[10:12] <bosco> file
[10:12] <bosco> and copy it there
[10:12] <chip42> bartist: dpkg --purge is the same sort of thing.
[10:12] <takitus> FurryNemesis how i do that?
[10:12] <garryF> sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[10:12] <FurryNemesis> takitus, type dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , and when it comes to the video drivers section be sure to select nvidia and not nv
[10:13] <anoncon> anyone using ubuntu on a ppc mac mini?
[10:13] <FurryNemesis> leave stuff as default if you're not sure what it does
[10:13] <takitus> it didnt do anything
[10:13] <takitus> says xserver-xorg postinst warning
[10:13] <takitus> then goes back to prompt
[10:13] <lhds> i have installed a deb program cannot find the icon how to run it ? win4linpro
[10:13] <FurryNemesis> takitus, try putting sudo before it
[10:14] <garryF> I have read that sometimes frambefuffer which is used by the vga= line in menu.lst and the actual nvidia drivers don't like eachother.
[10:14] <takitus> i did
[10:14] <bosco> and copy it there
[10:14] <bosco> yo is there anywhere to regrab my sources list a fresh one i have messed with mine so much i just want to start over
[10:14] <bosco> like the
[10:14] <bosco> file
[10:14] <bosco> and copy it there
[10:14] <FurryNemesis> garryF, any ideas? I've not heard of this problem tha takitus is having
[10:14] <garryF> You might have to comment out the vga= with # first.
[10:14] <bartist> is uninstall clean in linux?
[10:14] <anoncon> i cannot get the resolution above 1024x768 - i have tried the wiki - but it doesnt work for me must be specific to x86 - also the ati drivers are only x86 so is the only option of gettin higher res goin back to osx?
[10:14] <takitus> garryf, FurryNemesis: all it says is that it is overwriting a possibly-customized configuration and making a backup.. it doesnt do anything after that
[10:15] <ptley> Muc: what exactly are you trying to share, what kind of network cards, etc
[10:15] <garryF> now reboot.
[10:15] <Stokkstein> how can i edit a file in terminal?
[10:15] <garryF> or hit ctrl-alt-backspace to restart the gui
[10:15] <ulisse> what does it means a folder with blue foreground and green background in "ls -l" output? Google is not helping...
[10:15] <takitus> garryF hehe i already restarted =P
[10:15] <garryF> Hmmm, sounds like hammer time.
[10:16] <_stev_> Stokkstein: what do you want to edit?
[10:16] <FurryNemesis> garryF, back to single user mode you think?
[10:16] <Stokkstein> sources.list
[10:17] <Stokkstein> used package manager and made a mistake in the adress
[10:17] <takitus> man grub is so slow
[10:17] <garryF> Dunno, I think he should reboot again, after removing the vga=791 from the file we had him put it in. We didn't know he hadn't installed his video drivers yet till after.
[10:17] <Stokkstein> someone else helped me, got it now
[10:18] <FurryNemesis> I concur
[10:18] <alienseer23> hello, I am having troubble accesing my linux from a windows comp. it shows up in my network, but I cannot get past the "lconect to local host" username and password screen. I am sharing with  smb, help?
[10:18] <FurryNemesis> takitus,  reboot
[10:18] <varsendaggr> ak how do i set my JAVA_HOME VARiable
[10:18] <_stev_> Stokkstein: you can use the vi command sudo /etc/apt/sources.list (type i in to insert, then escape, :wq= write and quit , but use first the command vimtutor to learn the basics
[10:18] <takitus> FurryNemesis im still rebooting... its loading ubuntu now
[10:18] <Paddy_EIRE> whats the name of the offtopic ubuntu channel
[10:18] <Muc> how can I share my internet connection between 2 ubuntu boxes?

[10:18] <FurryNemesis> oh ok
[10:19] <takitus> ok rebooted
[10:19] <chip42> ulisse: hey, i found this: man dir_colors .. i dunno if it answers your question though. right topic

[10:19] <steveire> Jeez, do I have to teach you everything? ... :P
[10:19] <_stev_> Stokkstein: I mean sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list (very powerfull, but first 15minutes of vimtutor)
[10:19] <RogerBacon> hi, ubuntu is based on debian sid ?

[10:20] <sehute> takitus: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.com

[10:23] <safrican_> what is the keyboard shortcut for changing the workspace in GNOME ?
[10:23] <LnxSlck> do you guys advise the use of Universe and Multiverse repositories ???
[10:23] <rob> yes
[10:23] <garryF> Yep
[10:23] <LnxSlck> rob: is it ok to use them ?
[10:23] <FurryNemesis> ctrl +left /right
[10:24] <ptley> Muc: after you set up basic routing, you need to configure file-sharing.  I have seen something in the "system" tools in gnome that does it.
[10:24] <LnxSlck> rob : will it not crash my pc ?
[10:24] <mwtb> Has anyone got a smbfs share working with unicode support?
[10:24] <takitus> so what do i do now?
[10:24] <garryF> mostly universe, multivers is a little more risky.
[10:24] <LnxSlck> garryF: multiverse shouldn't be used then ?
[10:24] <garryF> pasetebin your xorg.conf maybe that will help.
[10:25] <rob> LnxSlck, they are made to work with Ubuntu fine, lots of checking and testing still gets done on them
[10:25] <garryF> LnxSlck Na, just make sure, you don't install stuff that says this is for slackware.
[10:25] <grte> Hey, does anybody know of any good console based gnutella clients?
[10:25] <garryF> LnxSlck for example.
[10:25] <Gumby> does anyone here know if gnome has anything like klipper?
[10:25] <rob> what, how do you justify that garryF?
[10:26] <maxLF> i want to install a game, do I install the debian package or the source code?
[10:26] <dekela> Hey
[10:26] <m0gsi> Hey all I have two questions , i have set up dual boot on a friends computer , how do i make GRUB boot windows as standard and what is the best kernel for a celeron 3.05ghz system
[10:26] <takitus> garryF, FurryNemesis, sehute: any ideas as to what I do now?
[10:26] <dekela> I am looking for a Babylon Translator equivilent
[10:26] <dekela> Anybody knows ?
[10:26] <rob> there is hardly any risk at all, apart from the normal risk associated with installing new software from anywhere
[10:26] <m0gsi> anyone?
[10:26] <homerj> on the live cd, is ssh running by default?
[10:26] <grte> m0gsi: Best kernel will be i686
[10:26] <AaSFi> any1 knows if its available gftp package with ssl suport somewhere?
[10:26] <LnxSlck> garryF: i have xchat 0.11 installed, i made the universe and multiverse active and i still do'nt have a new version of xchat
[10:27] <m0gsi> grte , what is the package name
[10:27] <m0gsi> and where is the grub config file
[10:27] <grte> m0gsi: In order to make windows boot by default, just edit your /boot/grub/menu.list so that windows is the first entry.
[10:27] <homerj> I have a system I want to boot the live cd from, that has nothing on it but a network connection
[10:27] <garryF> rob I don't. I just saying, if a package says its for a distro that's not debian or ubuntu, but for something different like slackware which is good distro, or for bsd, it might not work right in ubuntu.
[10:27] <homerj> so I need a way to get to it
[10:27] <m0gsi> thanks grte ,
[10:27] <rexin> can anybody help me mount an HFS+ partition through fstab... its readable right now but only root can access many of the dirs
[10:27] <sehute> takitus: let's see. You wish to install the nvidia
[10:27] <rob> garryF, it its sitting in Universe/Multiverse it will be fine
[10:28] <grte> m0gsi: No problem.  Package name, I believe, is linux-i686
[10:28] <sehute> takitus: drivers. And easyubuntu did not work for you
[10:28] <grte> Err, nope.
[10:28] <sehute> takitus: And glx is enabled both with that sudo-command and in xorg.conf
[10:28] <grte> The package name is linux-image-686
[10:28] <sehute> takitus: and you have install nvidia-glx
[10:28] <ptley> mwtb: I have one at work... but am at home.  I looked at were http://www.sput.nl/unicode.html
[10:28] <takitus> it says it did.... but my video performance blows
[10:28] <takitus> sehute i think so
[10:28] <sehute> takitus: and glxgears does not work as quick as they should
[10:28] <RyanTMulligan> Anyone know a good program for doing screencasts?
[10:28] <crparr> Hi! I've just installed the basic setup of ubuntu-server 6.06 usind an IP adr. of my lan. But I'm now going to connect it in my dmz using a different ip address. What's the best method to change the network settings?
[10:28] <sehute> RyanTMulligan: istanbul, perhaps
[10:28] <takitus> i dont know what glxgears is
[10:28] <grte> takitus: Did you modify your xorg.conf and change the nv driver to nvidia?
[10:28] <sehute> takitus: it's a program that shows spinning 3d-gears. It's a test-program
[10:28] <garryF> Well, I myself, have both univierse and multiverse enabled. So far it's worked for me. I just seem to remember seeing some stuff a long time ago that wasn't for ubuntu there. Maybe that changed.
[10:29] <mwtb> ptley: Thanks, reading.
[10:29] <Morrowyn> you shouldnt use glxgears for benchmarking
[10:29] <RyanTMulligan> sehute: Do you know of a tutorial to install v2.0 of that?
[10:29] <sehute> takitus: yeah, did you change "nv" to "nvidia" in xorg.conf?
[10:29] <takitus> sehute glxgears doesnt wrok
[10:29] <takitus> work
[10:29] <sehute> takitus: ok
[10:29] <sehute> takitus: and you are in X, right?
[10:29] <Morrowyn> try glxinfo
[10:29] <Morrowyn> if you wanna know stuff about your 3d accel
[10:29] <takitus> sehute x = gui?
[10:29] <sehute> RyanTMulligan: no, sorry
[10:29] <takitus> if so.. yes
[10:29] <rob> garryF, I don't believe that was ever the case, if it was/is then file a bug report
[10:29] <sehute> takitus: yes, X = gui, very roughly (althogh there are other guis)
[10:30] <chip42> ulisse: i think it might indicate a 'world-writable' directory
[10:30] <garryF> Rob Ok.
[10:30] <chip42> ulisse: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-03/msg00306.html
[10:30] <sehute> takitus: and you have restarted gdm after you changed xorg.conf?
[10:30] <sehute> takitus: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[10:30] <ulisse> chip42: just found it a minute ago, it means a dir with permissions at 766 instead of 755
[10:30] <sehute> takitus: (will restart x)
[10:30] <takitus> sehute i didnt have to change anything in xorg.conf
[10:30] <ulisse> chip42: thanks anyway ;)
[10:30] <eamon> how do I update aptitude's package lists? I know it's apt-cache something...
[10:31] <chip42> ulisse: cool. no thank you. its been fun reading about dircolors ;)
[10:31] <sehute> takitus: still, if you've installed nvidia-drivers and ran that enable-glx command, it might work after a restart of X
[10:31] <sehute> eamon: sudo aptitude update
[10:31] <ptley> mwtb: oh, I looked at that.  Keep in mind that when it says to add codepages, it means in /etc/fstab and that is for mounting unicode smbfs shares not serving them
[10:31] <bartist> hello
[10:31] <grte> takitus: You do have to modify xorg.conf to make the nvidia driver work.
[10:32] <grte> And without that , your 3D performance will probably suck.
[10:32] <bartist> i'va installed and removed banshee
[10:32] <garryF> rob My memory stinks simetimes anyway, so I take a lot of what I remember with a salt lick myself. :)
[10:32] <bartist> since then my sound is not clear, noisy, with a lot of interference
[10:32] <rexin> can anybody give me a hand mounting an HFS+ partition through fstab?
[10:32] <takitus> grte so what do i do to modify it
[10:32] <grte> takitus: in a console, type sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:32] <grte> Then, do a search for the word "nv"
[10:33] <grte> Change "nv" to "nvidia"
[10:33] <Seveas> garryF, no offense but bad advise is worse than no advise...
[10:33] <grte> Then do the gdm restart command given above.
[10:33] <sehute> rexin: http://www.google.com/search?q=mount%20hfs%20fstab
[10:33] <mwtb> ptley: Sure, unfortunately I can't get anything to work. codepage=unicode,iocharset=utf8,unicode is the general advice and this successfully mounts and then I get an empty response from an ls of the mount point. The suggestion on the page you provided mounts and gives a directory listing, but displays ?'s for non-ascii chars.
[10:34] <garryF> say Seveas. Yeah, especially if I get the bad advice and pass it on. Like the adivice I got here to replace my MB, when it was a bug in the latest bios. :)
[10:34] <gnomefreak> :(
[10:34] <ompaul> garryF, that is a valid replace the MB then, :-)
[10:34] <sehute> Seveas: advice-givers needs training too
[10:34] <ompaul> garryF, a tad extreme but valid none the less
[10:35] <grte> So, does anybody know of any console gnutella clients?
[10:35] <takitus> grte i changed nv to nvidia and my shit is dead slow now
[10:35] <gnomefreak> takitus: watch your lanbguage please
[10:35] <garryF> Seveas hehe, Yeah. bad advice is hard to spot. I was just saying be more careful about stuff in multiverse. I can't see how that is bad advice, unlesss multiverse is a repos of stuff exclusively for ubuntu now and not just from everwhere like someone told me ages ago.
[10:36] <takitus> my bad
[10:36] <gnomefreak> language even
[10:36] <grte> Hmm...Did you install nvidia-glx from the repos?
[10:36] <takitus> grte i dont know
[10:36] <Seveas> garryF, everything in ubuntu repos is only for ubuntu
[10:36] <profoX`> is something wrong with chanserv ?
[10:36] <Seveas> the one who told you that it wasn't is a fool 
[10:36] <garryF> Cool, Thanks Seveas, I stand corrected.
[10:36] <grte> Okay, well, first things first, do the sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf again, and change nvidia to nv
[10:36] <Seveas> profoX`, doesn't seem so
[10:36] <grte> Then restart gdm again.
[10:36] <grte> Then we'll see if you have the nvidia drivers installed.
[10:37] <profoX`> Seveas: /msg ChanServ help, should give me something, right? it doesn't do anything
[10:37] <ptley> mwtb - oh... is unicode working on your terminal?
[10:37] <profoX`> NickServ works though..
[10:37] <takitus> glxgears works now
[10:37] <takitus> it didnt before
[10:37] <Muc> I have 2 ubuntu boxes, 1 has 2 ethernet cards, 1 of them connected to a cable modem, the 2nd connected to the lan. The 1st one has dhcp, the 2nd has a static address. On the 2nd machine I have 1 ethernet card with a static ip. I can ping from both of them to the other. How do I share internet connection?
[10:37] <Seveas> profoX`, you're bitten by an xchat bug
[10:37] <grte> Okay, a step in the right direction.
[10:37] <Seveas> it's in *a* channel you're in
[10:37] <takitus> grte but everything is REALLY slow
[10:37] <profoX`> Seveas: oops! my mistake, xchat posted the stupid... yea.. yea.. thats it ;) I just saw it
[10:37] <gnomefreak> works here
[10:38] <takitus> grte stuff starts to lock up when i move windows
[10:38] <wickers> How long will 6.06 be supported for?
[10:38] <grte> wickers: Three years for home use, 6 for server use.
[10:38] <gnomefreak> wickers: desktop 3years and 5 for server
[10:38] <Seveas> gnomefreak, chanserv.py works around that stupid xchat feature (yes, it's bloody intentional)
[10:38] <garryF> try glxinfo | grep dri and tell us if you see dri=yes
[10:38] <gnomefreak> ah
[10:38] <wickers> grte, gnomefreak, sounds like you two aren't on the same page.
[10:38] <grte> takitus: So you can't use gedit?
[10:38] <mwtb> ptley: Yep, if I mount the share with cifs, I can see the unicode filenames correctly. Unfortunately, cifs seems to be broken in other ways.
[10:38] <gnomefreak> wickers: its 5 years for server 3 for desktop
[10:39] <wickers> What about 6.10?
[10:39] <eLoC> hello! I would like to know if is there any way to configure the "vnc server" service to start in the OS before the user log in!
[10:39] <takitus> grte i cant do anything.. haa... my computer locked up, but the gears are still turning
[10:39] <gnomefreak> wickers: if any doubt please read ubuntu.com
[10:39] <Seveas> wickers, 18 months
[10:39] <ptley> Muc: try http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=111972
[10:39] <grte> takitus: Ah, that'll be glx gears causing it, then.
[10:39] <wickers> Cool.
[10:39] <grte> Try doing ctrl-alt-backspace to restart gdm.
[10:39] <takitus> grte it was from me trying to move the terminal window actually
[10:39] <grte> Ah.
[10:40] <eLoC> is there anyway to start the vnc server before the user login?
[10:40] <grte> Well, at any rate, need to restart gdm in order to get things working again.
[10:40] <grte> eLoC: Set it up as a system service.
[10:40] <takitus> yeah im waiting for it to finish crashing
[10:40] <garryF> hehe
[10:40] <grte> eLoC: I'm not entirely certain how, but you should be able to find a howto on the net.
[10:40] <takitus> oooo nastiness all over the place
[10:40] <eLoC> grte, i'll try! thanx
[10:40] <grte> eLoC: No problem.
[10:41] <cyber_brain_mfkg> what are these files in my root dir : vmlinuz &initrd???
[10:41] <drasko> hi all. I am trying to Install Windows besides my linux, but XP boot CD hangs after message "Scaning you softwre configuration..." My linux is working OK, so I guess everithing is ok with my hardware. Any ideas?
[10:41] <takitus> grte ok it started back up.. what do i do now
[10:41] <cyber_brain_mfkg> there are also old files with same name
[10:41] <cyber_brain_mfkg> ???
[10:41] <grte> takitus: Okay, try opening xorg.conf with sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf again.
[10:41] <Towering> now.. this is nice... updates and doesn't require reboot unlike winblows
[10:41] <grte> See if it works.
[10:41] <cyber_brain_mfkg> should i delete those old ones?
[10:41] <mwtb> Is ubuntu cifs out of date or something? mount.cifs returns 1.10 as its version and the cifs website says it's at 1.42 as of April this year.
[10:41] <garryF> Hmmm, just for curiosity sake what sort of machein are you using takitus?
[10:42] <takitus> grte it opened but i cant do anything in it... ill have to go to console mode
[10:42] <grte> Okay, do you know how to use nano?
[10:42] <takitus> no
[10:42] <garryF> Not every package update makes it into a distro the minute it's created. Testing needs to be done, tweaking for particular distros. There is lag due to caution.
[10:42] <grte> It's pretty easy, all the commands are displayed at the bottom.
[10:43] <grte> Try this command instead:  sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:43] <cyber_brain_mfkg> Seveas: should i delete old vmlinuz & initrd files from my root dir??? what r those files???
[10:43] <takitus> grte my computer is locked up
[10:43] <ptley> mwtb: you can get the 1.42 beta http://pserver.samba.org/samba/ftp/cifs-cvs/cifs-1.42b.tar.gz
[10:43] <grte> Okay, well, I'll give you these instructions now, you might want to take notes, then go into console mode and change things.
[10:44] <takitus> hmmm ill just hard boot
[10:44] <grte> first, in console, enter command sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
[10:44] <takitus> im on IRC on another computer
[10:44] <grte> Hold on.
[10:44] <grte> Oh, okay.
[10:44] <ptley> mwtb: I guess that's not beta, just their naming convention
[10:44] <takitus> grte console mode would be bad anyways because i cant see the bottom 3 lines of text for some reason
[10:45] <Seveas> cyber_brain_mfkg, no you shouldn't
[10:45] <grte> takitus: Hmm...Well, we're gonna hafta do it.
[10:45] <grte> I can walk you through it, all we need to do is change nvidia back to nv.
[10:45] <mwtb> ptley: I'm a bit wary of installing things that low-level, but thanks. I'll see what happens.
[10:45] <mehrdad> what packages are included in the DVD? Is Universe included?
[10:45] <eLoC> grte, hello again! in the OS, there is a menu where i config... do u know the name of that process? then i can start it with the ubuntu... i don't know its name
[10:45] <dekela> Anyone knows how to add a link to my sig in my CP in ubuntu forums?
[10:45] <ptley> mwtb: I'll try installing it real quick and tell you how it goes
[10:45] <Ace2007> How do i change a GTK1 theme?
[10:46] <cyber_brain_mfkg> Seveas: why
[10:46] <cyber_brain_mfkg> ???
[10:46] <fearme> anyone know the url inorder to get wine?
[10:46] <dekela> link to an image that is
[10:46] <garryF> LoL, I'm getting paranoid about saying anything. Heh. Not whining, I just think i'ts funny. LIke the old saying "Better to keep one's mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."
[10:46] <cyber_brain_mfkg> i got 2 of them
[10:46] <grte> eLoC: That would be sessions.  Go to System -> Preferences -> Sessions
[10:46] <cyber_brain_mfkg> ???
[10:46] <RyanTMulligan>  I am having trouble compiling the latest release of Istanbul, when I try to I get this error: http://pastebin.ca/107087 Does anyone have any ideas?
[10:46] <linuxd00d> fearme: goto google.com and type in wine
[10:46] <cyber_brain_mfkg> vmlinuz i vmlinuz.old
[10:46] <Seveas> cyber_brain_mfkg, removing old kernel packages will remove those files for you
[10:46] <PoonJ> hey guys...I've been a long time debian user....and after running into some problems...I'm thinking of switching over to another distro.  Is ubuntu a lot better than debian?
[10:46] <garryF> I guess I agree to well with bad advice is worse than no advice. :)
[10:46] <fearme> linuxd00d cool, thanks
[10:46] <eLoC> grte, yes... but i need to know the name of the program :S there is a native program with ubuntu that does the vnc server... do u know it's name?
[10:46] <grte> PoonJ: Better depends on what you're after.
[10:46] <takitus> grte waiting for reboot
[10:47] <linuxd00d> Fearme: no worries
[10:47] <grte> eLoC: Sorry, I don't know the name of it.
[10:47] <grte> takitus: Okay.
[10:47] <PoonJ> I've been trying to setup a samba PDC with LDAP support
[10:47] <cyber_brain_mfkg> Seveas: thanx - i was so close to delete them
[10:47] <eLoC> grte, thanx! =)
[10:47] <PoonJ> for some reason, I'm getting weird behavior from a lot of libraries that I was using in debian
[10:47] <cyber_brain_mfkg> Seveas: but on boot i have 2 kernels to choose
[10:47] <grte> eLoC: No problem.
[10:47] <PoonJ> I think debian has a different setup...
[10:47] <cyber_brain_mfkg> Seveas: xxxxx-23 & xxxxxx-26
[10:48] <PoonJ> but it could be the distro itself..
[10:48] <PoonJ> not sure..
[10:48] <HnH> Ghm, can someone help a bit with apache?
[10:48] <garryF> they don't take a lot of room. Incase one goes bad, you can drop back. a nice safety net cyber_brain_mfkg.
[10:48] <HnH> installed it, and .htaccess seems like not working at all
[10:48] <cyber_brain_mfkg> ok garryF
[10:48] <m0gsi> Hey everyone , i've just done something quite stupid , After a kernel update ubuntu has erased the windows boot option in my grub config file , how do i rewrite it
[10:48] <garryF> Some gnomes, even have a way to say, only keep X many recent kernel files in menu.
[10:49] <Tachu> hi
[10:49] <Dr_Willis> grub has that config option in the menu.lst
[10:49] <garryF> maybe all, I can't remember if it's some or all grubs, not gnomes.
[10:49] <mehrdad> What's included in the DVD? any packages from Universe? or just a merge of live and install CDs?
[10:49] <gatekeeper> !grub
[10:49] <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
[10:49] <takitus> grte i was able to change it back... but right after i saved it it locked up... so i gotta reboot again
[10:49] <takitus> brb
[10:49] <Tachu> my computer is a Dell Inspiron 700m, will Ubuntu work properly in it?
[10:49] <goonies> what device is the keyboard in /dev
[10:50] <m0gsi> ubotu , you've miss understood what i'm on about :P
[10:50] <ubotu> I know nothing about , you've miss understood what i'm on about :P - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[10:50] <m0gsi> oh lol ok
[10:50] <grte> takitus: Not surprising, the nv driver wont be loaded till you reboot.
[10:50] <Dr_Willis> Tachu,  proberly - unless its really ($#@@*  weird.
[10:50] <grte> Once you do that, it should work again.
[10:50] <lhds>  i did sudo dpkg -i win4linpro_6.2.7-02_i386.deb how to uninstall it now?
[10:50] <Dr_Willis> Tachu,  google is our friend.. :P
[10:50] <m0gsi> Everyone how do i rewrite the windows entry in the menu.lst file of grub
[10:50] <Tachu> ok
[10:50] <Ace2007> Well you only have to log out and log in again for nvidia driver to take effect
[10:50] <grte> lhds: sudo dpkg -r <package name>
[10:50] <steveire> m0gsi: try google or the grub docs.
[10:50] <grte> m0gsi: Why do you need to rewrite it?
[10:51] <m0gsi> Because after i updated the kernel , it removed the windows option
[10:51] <grte> Oh, ouch.
[10:51] <m0gsi> Ya lol
[10:51] <m0gsi> Not my box either
[10:51] <steveire> And make sure you put it below the line which says End Automagic Debiain Kernels list. That way it wont be removed again
[10:51] <grte> Yeah, grub docs are your best bet.
[10:51] <m0gsi> i've got 10mins lol
[10:51] <Juantelez> hi! could anybody helpme reinstalling Grub please?
[10:51] <m0gsi> steveire , but i want to boot default
[10:51] <gatekeeper> m0gsi: well you are going to popular then :-)
[10:51] <m0gsi> is anyone dual booting who can give me there lines of config for me to change
[10:52] <m0gsi> thanks gatekeeper :P
[10:52] <grte> Hold on, I'll check my grub list and pastebin it for you.
[10:52] <m0gsi> thanks grte
[10:52] <grte> The windows entry, that is.
[10:52] <jesspher> is there any .exe program that runs on wine really well?
[10:52] <garryF> yep, that automagic is kind of handy for when you have to swithc around drives.
[10:52] <m0gsi> jesspher notepad.exe
[10:52] <Dr_Willis> sol.exe
[10:52] <kameronk> jesspher, there are quite a few
[10:52] <m0gsi> how do i tell which partition windows is on
[10:52] <Tachu> where are the ubuntu requirements... :S

[10:53] <mehrdad> What's Ubuntu DVD? anything more than a mix of Live and Install CDs?

[10:53] <m0gsi> thanks
[10:54] <kameronk> jesspher, one that works quite well is foobar2000, a simple mp3 player
[10:54] <garryF> system/administration/disks can show you what drives you have, and the partitions and what is on them.
[10:54] <steveire> m0gsi: You got the lines already? You can make windows boot default if you put the windows entry above the debian kernels automagic list and tell it to boot option 1 or something
[10:54] <grte> No problem.
[10:54] <sehute> [cro] smiley: is it supposed to be the GNOME-version of karm?
[10:54] <Anahuak> hello
[10:54] <mehrdad> What's Ubuntu DVD? anything more than a mix of Live and Install CDs?
[10:54] <m0gsi> Thanks grte , err how do i change what partition it boot to?

[10:55] <grte> m0gsi: Remember, though.
[10:55] <sehute> mehrdad: alle ubuntu-variants combined on one disk
[10:55] <[cro] smiley> sehute, somthing like that, i think it's much simpler
[10:55] <[cro] smiley> sehute, at least for now
[10:55] <grte> m0gsi: You'll have to edit the boot      (hd0,0) line to match the partition you keep windows on.
[10:55] <sehute> [cro] smiley: karm might give you some input, in a way, if you haven't already looked into it
[10:55] <mehrdad> sehute: no universe packages?
[10:55] <grte> If it's the primary OS, it'll be fine the way it is.
[10:55] <sehute> [cro] smiley: cool that you're making it, though
[10:55] <m0gsi> well it's on hda2
[10:55] <m0gsi> So what would that be?
[10:56] <andrea_b> my pc doesn't power off
[10:56] <andrea_b> I don't know how to fix
[10:56] <[cro] smiley> sehute, thanx
[10:56] <jesspher> does anybody here know how to configure wine the right way
[10:56] <sehute> mehrdad: t's a dvd with edubuntu, xubuntu, ubuntu etc. What do you mean by "no universe packages"?
[10:56] <Muc> Hi, I have 2 ubuntu boxes. 1 of them is connected throug an ethernet card to a cable modem using dhcp. This box has another ethernet connected to the second box, this 2 cards have static ips, how can I share internet access?
[10:56] <[cro] smiley> sehute, problem is don't get any feedback
[10:56] <m0gsi> would it be (0,2) ?
[10:56] <sehute> [cro] smiley: I'll check it out, if you like. I know how it is :)
[10:56] <grte> m0gsi: Yeah.
[10:56] <mehrdad> sehute: i mean no universe packages is included in the DVD? I want a way to have Universe and multiverse packages on DVD/CD
[10:56] <m0gsi> thanks man i'll try it
[10:56] <[cro] smiley> sehute, well thank you :)

[10:57] <takitus> grte yup
[10:57] <sehute> [cro] smiley: we could talk in #timesaver?
[10:57] <grte> takitus: Okay, try this, then: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[10:58] <takitus> k done
[10:58] <grte> Okay, did anything install?
[10:58] <takitus> noep

[10:58] <drasko> Anybody knows the tool that can scan my whole HD, including Win XP partition for bad sectors?
[10:58] <grte> Weird, if you've already got it, and activating it just locks up your system, then we've gotten beyond my knowledge.
[10:59] <grte> I'd look for troubleshooting howtos on the forums.
[10:59] <garryF> takitus: had done the stuff found at the video hardware howtos you get when you ask bot about nvidia.
[10:59] <takitus> garryF yeah they didnt work
[10:59] <edhua> Hello all, I was editing the applications menu with Alacarte, and when I finished, the menu disappeared. I have been searching through the forums, but I have been unable to find a solution. Using Dapper - Gnome
[10:59] <grte> edhua: What do you mean, the menu disappeared?
[10:59] <garryF> try glxinfo | grep dri and tell us what you get.
[10:59] <takitus> grte ok would you be able to tell me how to change my setup so that when im in console I can see the bottom 3 lines of text?
[10:59] <edhua> it does not show up anymore

[11:00] <grte> takitus: I can't say that I can...I've never heard of that before.
[11:00] <Juantelez> please, please, someone very patient ('cause my english is poor) could send my a IM to help me reinstalling Grub? thanks

[11:00] <grte> edhua: Okay, open alacarte up again, and find the menu that disappeared.
[11:00] <JaZy84> can someone take a look at that and see what i can do about this pkg
[11:00] <JaZy84> it's samba error 102

[11:00] <takitus> Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display":0.0".
[11:00] <gatekeeper> drasko: not sure if badblocks works on ntfs, but will certainly work for linux formats, there is also smartctrl although I don't know a lot about it
[11:00] <garryF> andrea_b what motherboard do you have?
[11:01] <edhua> grte: :) *all* the menu disappeared
[11:01] <grte> Ooooh, okay.
[11:01] <grte> edhua: In that case, do this:
[11:01] <grte> Right click on the top panel.
[11:01] <grte> Select "Add to Panel"
[11:01] <fearme> do you need to be root user to install wine?
[11:01] <takitus> garryF Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display":0.0".
[11:01] <grte> Find the entry that says "menu bar" and choose to add that.
[11:01] <vov> hello
[11:01] <ptley> gatekeeper: badblocks works with ntfs
[11:02] <rsk> fearme, yes, use sudo.
[11:02] <garryF> sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[11:02] <vov> anyone mess w/ google's svn repo yet? takes forever to commit
[11:02] <[b] urk> do you ppl know how i can edit the grub menu to show less entries when it is on the mbr on the windoze-partition?
[11:02] <fearme> rsk, wait, do you just need sudo or do you HAVE to be root
[11:02] <edhua> grte: It seems I hve not been clear... the menu is the "applications menu" all of it. Places and System still show up
[11:02] <grte> [b] urk: It isn't.  Your menu.lst is in /boot/grub/
[11:02] <alienseer23> hello, can anyone tell me f the know of a nice gui for nvidea cards' multiple monitor/tv out functons? or show me where I need to go to learn how to make one?
[11:03] <mehrdad> [b] urk: mbr of a windows partition? a partition doesn't have a MBR
[11:03] <grte> edhua: Ah...In that case, I don't know for sure.
[11:03] <gatekeeper> thanx ptley, well drasko use badblocks
[11:03] <edhua> grte: thanks anyway
[11:03] <andrea_b> my pc doesn't power off... it is very annoying, I don't know how to fix it. does anybody have the same problem here ?
[11:03] <[b] urk> mehrdad, ok, i dont really know much about mbr and boot stuff ...
[11:03] <takitus> garryF it says xserver-org postinst warning: ovewriting possibly-customised configuration file; backup in ....
[11:03] <grte> edhua: No problem.  Sorry I couldn't help.
[11:03] <Wulong> How do I remove the shift+backspace shortkey ? which is the same as ctrl+alt+backspace, which again restart current X session.
[11:04] <[b] urk> so ill just edit /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[11:04] <grte> [b] urk: Yup.
[11:04] <ptley> drasko: you might also try ultimate boot cd
[11:04] <fearme> rsk, wait, do you just need sudo or do you HAVE to be root
[11:04] <alienseer23> I want to be able to simply have an extended desktop over to my 2nd monitor, and occasionally to my tv, and have a simple way to switch between these??? any suggestions???
[11:04] <gatekeeper> JaZy84: looks like samba was already installed, can you remove it?
[11:04] <andrea_b> here's the bug: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/43961
[11:04] <[b] urk> grte, thanks :)
[11:04] <grte> [b] urk: No problem.
[11:04] <andrea_b> do you know how to fix it ?
[11:04] <grte> One bit of warning though.
[11:04] <Ace_NoOne|UK> can Ubuntu read/write NTFS drives out of the box?
[11:04] <garryF> takitus Do you by chance have an older computer that has shadow ram, or one that also has an enabled onboard video?
[11:04] <grte> If you remove any linux kernel entries, they'll be put back every time you update the kernel.
[11:05] <grte> So you'll have to edit your menu.lst again after kernel updates.
[11:05] <takitus> garryF nope its fairly new
[11:05] <takitus> garryF why?
[11:05] <JaZy84> gatekeeper, by apt-get remove samba?
[11:05] <Muc> has anyone used the command apt-get install dnsmasq? When I try I get the error E: Couldn't find package dnsmasq... I'm trying to setup a shared internet connection between 2 ubuntu boxes
[11:05] <gatekeeper> Ace_NoOne|UK: no, have a look at the howto's on the ubuntu forums
[11:05] <Ace_NoOne|UK> thanks
[11:05] <[b] urk> grte, ok, i was planning to remove some old kernel entries since i probably have more than ten by now
[11:05] <mehrdad> Any way to download a DVD containing Universe and Multiverse?
[11:05] <gatekeeper> JaZy84: yep
[11:05] <fearme> grte, do you know if you need to be root to install wine or do you just need sudo?
[11:05] <grte> [b] urk: Yeah, I do the same.  It's a pain, but it's not hard.
[11:05] <drasko> ptley, what't that?
[11:05] <JaZy84> gatekeeper, trying
[11:06] <grte> fearme: Sudo works fine, as far as I know.
[11:06] <fearme> grte, ok kool.  thanks
[11:06] <cyber_brain_mfkg> is there any keyboard shortcut to switch desktops(workspaces) in gnome???
[11:06] <grte> np
[11:06] <garryF> I read that sometimes shadowram don't play nice, but that's not the issue with your new machine so it seems. That's a real stumper there.
[11:06] <ptley> alienseer23: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Xinerama-HOWTO/
[11:06] <commctrl> cyber_brain_mfkg, yes, System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts
[11:06] <gatekeeper> JaZy84: have you got synaptic installed?
[11:06] <ptley> drasko: ultimate boot cd is a boot cd with a bunch of anti-virus and hard drive tools on it, you can get it with "insert" which lets you use linux tools as well
[11:06] <JaZy84> yes
[11:06] <JaZy84> and no i can't remove it
[11:07] <JaZy84> i get the same error it looks like
[11:07] <Muc> how can can I share my internet connection between 2 ubuntu boxes?
[11:07] <_stev_> cyber_brain_mfkg: ctrl+alt+leftkey/rightkey
[11:07] <JaZy84> Muc, yes
[11:07] <grte> Muc: With a router.
[11:07] <Muc> anyone specific?
[11:07] <JaZy84> or 2 nics in on one box
[11:07] <Wulong> How do I remove the shift+backspacehotkey? it restart X session
[11:07] <nikin> hy
[11:07] <alienseer23> thank you:D:D:D
[11:07] <ptley> Muc: you need to set up dhcpd, ipmasq, ipforwarding, and iptables
[11:08] <mehrdad> Any ways to download a DVD containing Universe and Multiverse?
[11:08] <ptley> Muc: search for all that stuff in ubuntuforums.org
[11:08] <Dr_Willis> Muc,  could check out that 'ip masquerading howto' - but there maybe some easier config tools for it - mentioned on the ubuntu wiki.
[11:08] <JaZy84> there is

[11:08] <JaZy84> as far as the easy
[11:08] <JaZy84> iptables
[11:08] <JaZy84> i used webming
[11:08] <gatekeeper> JaZy84: what does synaptic make of samba, installed? broken?
[11:08] <JaZy84> webmin
[11:08] <JaZy84> broken gatekeeper
[11:08] <JaZy84> and it had a nice little wiki on ubuntu wiki
[11:08] <ptley> webmin is pretty sweet
[11:09] <JaZy84> was for 64bit but same shhtuff
[11:09] <gatekeeper> JaZy84: will synaptic remove it?
[11:09] <JaZy84> remove it or fix broken pkg?
[11:09] <garryF> say takitus AS a last resort, I'd try easyubuntu to see if it fixes stuff, though I shudder at the thought. So many have had it bork their system, and just one today who said it worked for them.
[11:10] <gatekeeper> JaZy84: pays you money, takes your choice
[11:10] <mwtb> ptley: So I'm following these instructions and I'm about to make the kernel. I am right that this will just build it in place and won't actually install it, yes?
[11:10] <takitus> garryF I tried that already... didnt work
[11:10] <takitus> garryF Im just reinstalling ubuntu
[11:10] <[b] urk> grte, have you tried the howmany= option in the menu.lst file?
[11:10] <gatekeeper> JaZy84: I would be incline to try to remove it
[11:10] <JaZy84> lol alright
[11:10] <JaZy84> lemme try to remove it
[11:10] <garryF> Yeah, reinstall would be my next try.
[11:10] <cyber_brain_mfkg> how can i setup xmms be my defoult player???
[11:11] <mehrdad> My USB keyboard doesn't work anymore when I switched from 5.10 to 6.06 and keeps filling the dmesg log with a message about IRQ, -1, hidcore
[11:11] <grte> [b] urk: I haven't.
[11:11] <ptley> mwtb: as long as you don't do "make install" and whatnot
[11:11] <grte> Only things I've really done is remove kernel entries and add an entry for BSD.
[11:12] <[b] urk> ok
[11:12] <Muc> ptley: I've search the ubuntu forums, and I got stuck at the step "apt-get install dnsmasq ipmasq"
[11:12] <JaZy84> gatekeeper,
[11:12] <JaZy84> samba: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 102
[11:12] <ptley> Muc: what happens
[11:12] <nikin> wyh does make dont work? or thats a live CD problem?
[11:13] <magical_trevsky> is it normal that ubuntu does a reverse dns lookup on my router's ip every few seconds?
[11:13] <mwtb> ptley: Okay, here goes. I didn't really expect to be compiling a kernel when I chose to try out ubuntu, it has to be said. Seems to go against the ideology of the distro a bit.
[11:13] <ptley> ptley: I dunno, I compile stuff all the time.  Maybe I'm not with the ideology.
[11:13] <sethk> mwtb, I disagree.  I rebuild the kernel periodically, for all the distros I run
[11:13] <ptley> er meant to say mwtb: ...
[11:14] <abo> I added my current user to the ntfs group using the command "usermode -G ntfs" and now there is no sound, can anyone help please?
[11:14] <garryF> Seems folks have better success installing from alternate cd than live. Opinions anyone?
[11:14] <mehrdad> I don't have access to internet on my ubuntu machine, how can i download repositories on DVDs?
[11:14] <sethk> abo, presumably you mean usermod, not usermode
[11:14] <JaZy84> i 've have problems with the live and my scsi card
[11:14] <gatekeeper> JaZy84: think you need someone with more experience than me now sorry :-(
[11:14] <abo> sethk, yes sorry :)
[11:14] <JaZy84> i did 5.10 then updated to 6.06 via apt
[11:14] <JaZy84> no problems gatekeeper  i thank you for your time :)
[11:14] <mehrdad> garryF: agreed!
[11:15] <sethk> abo, hard to see how that could cause the sound problem.  with the upper case G it adds you to a new group but does not remove you from any groups, and does not change the default group
[11:15] <mehrdad> garryF: but liveCD install is much faster since it's simply copying and not package installation
[11:15] <sethk> abo, I suspect that losing sound at that point is a coincidence and caused by something else.
[11:15] <ptley> mwtb: I also find it a bit unlikely that ubuntu will really be able to support the same kernel for "Long Term Support" and everyone is going to end up compiling a kernel.
[11:16] <gatekeeper> JaZy84: sorry I couldn't help, did you use update-manager of manual distro upgrade? have you got a backup of breezy?how did you do the uodate?
[11:16] <kameronk> quick question, to compile apache, should i use "sudo make install" or "make install"?
[11:16] <abo> sethk, is there a way I can figure out what happened, I was trying to configure ntfs-fuse, this one made my ntfs disk icons not show on desktop anymore, and the sound to be disabled
[11:16] <nikin> is there a reason why make does not work with livecd?
[11:16] <garryF> the only thing that effected me, is that I used the alternate cd so I could install ubuntu on my third hard drive.
[11:16] <jrib> nikin: did you install build-essential?
[11:16] <sethk> mwtb, I write device drivers, so I know I'm not representative, but even for more "normal" users new kernel versions frequently have important bug fixes, especially for drivers recently added to the kernel.
[11:17] <mwtb> ptley: Perhaps. Can't it just be updated via apt-get though? My FC install updates the kernel via yum.
[11:17] <abo> sethk, It may be as you said, but how can I fix it...? how do I investigate?
[11:17] <JaZy84> oh well i followed the wiki 5.10-6.06 instructions.. but this samba problem is a new issue (this box has been up for awhile)
[11:17] <sethk> abo, is sound completely dead?  can you play a .wav file with the aplay utility?
[11:17] <garryF> apt-get install build-essential and make sure the repository it's in is avail to package manager.
[11:17] <JaZy84> seems that i have the exact same issue regarding samba on my other ubuntu box
[11:17] <mehrdad> where can I download the full repositories in DVD format?
[11:17] <gatekeeper> JaZy84: one last thought, probable won't work, apt-get remove --purge samba
[11:18] <garryF> nm, I completely misread question.
[11:18] <oskar_> How can I check my partitions and if they are home/swap etc? Something similiar to the installation for Ubuntu. Anyone knows some simple way/app?
[11:18] <ptley> mtwb: personally, I've had little success with pre-built kernels
[11:18] <nikin> jnb: i just run it from CD jet... to test out some programs. nothing realy installed coz the package manager alost kills my PC when i try to setup something with liveCD
[11:18] <bbrazil> oskar_: fdisk -l /dev/hda
[11:18] <ubuntufan> can you guys use google ? it's not resolving here for me
[11:18] <JaZy84> nope same problem gatekeeper
[11:18] <JaZy84> yes
[11:19] <JaZy84> to google
[11:19] <ptley> mwtb: it's not as bad as it was when upgrading 2.0 kernels to 2.2
[11:19] <garryF> System/administration/disk willl also tell you if you already have it installed.
[11:19] <kameronk> ubuntufan, i can use google
[11:19] <oskar_> bbrazil, thx
[11:19] <ubuntufan> strange :S
[11:19] <JaZy84> you want ip?
[11:19] <Bonez> i reinstalled windows on its own partition and now grub isnt loading...
[11:19] <gatekeeper> JaZy84: had a nasty feeling you would say that, sorry to have wasted your time :-(
[11:19] <JaZy84> 64.233.187.104
[11:20] <JaZy84> no biggie, and thanks again gatekeeper
[11:20] <ubuntufan> i can ping it, but the website doesnt load
[11:20] <JaZy84> hrm
[11:20] <sethk> nikin, the live cd (obviously) is not suitable for every conceivable purpose.  Your's is probably a situation that isn't well served by the live cd
[11:20] <JaZy84> that'b ook
[11:20] <jifix> i have a problem
[11:20] <cyber_brain_mfkg> ok how can I make xmms my default audio player??? when 4 example I use keyboard shortcut to open xmms!!!
[11:20] <ubuntufan> its says connection to the server was reset
[11:20] <Kr4t05> JaZy84: giving your IP to a public chat room? Ehm...
[11:20] <Bonez> i reinstalled windows and now grub wont load please help
[11:20] <gatekeeper> JaZy84: if you get a solution it would be nice to know what it is
[11:21] <JaZy84> no problems gatekeeper
[11:21] <nikin> sethk: i understand, just i realy wanted to test things out, coz i dont have a second computer yet to play with it, so cant remove my current OS
[11:21] <JaZy84> Kr4t05, that's googles
[11:21] <JaZy84> :)
[11:21] <Kr4t05> Bonez: use the Live-CD to restore Grub
[11:21] <abo> sethk, there was sound before I logged in, sound is completely dead now
[11:21] <ubuntufan> thanks anyway
[11:21] <JaZy84> you check to see if it was muted abo
[11:21] <abo> sethk, aplay give error such as no soundcard found
[11:21] <cyber_brain_mfkg> how can I make xmms my default audio player??? someone please!!!
[11:21] <mwtb> ptley: It doesn't bother me as an activity. I'm used to building things via make etc. It just makes me feel like I'm getting further and further away from the cosy concept of a tightly managed desktop OS distro. I was hoping to avoid spending hours hunting for solutions and specific package versions with Ubuntu.
[11:21] <JaZy84> not sure, but don't thinkg repeating will help
[11:21] <Bonez> what do i do after i load the live cd?
[11:22] <garryF> Yet, if he restores grub over the mbr info for the new windows, won't he lose the access to windows?
[11:22] <abo> JaZy84, when I right click on the icon it's not muted

[11:22] <sethk> garryF, depends on the menu.lst file contents
[11:22] <Gargoyle> Can anyone tell me how-to get more debug info from saslauthd? I am following the guide to setup postfix, but it is not accepting my password.
[11:22] <sethk> garryF, if menu.lst is correct, then he will not lose windows
[11:22] <garryF> sethk yeah
[11:22] <garryF> oh ok, tnx
[11:22] <sethk> garryF, and menu.lst is just a file which can be edited, so even if he loses windows he can get it back
[11:22] <mehrdad> Bonez: grub-install /dev/hda
[11:22] <Bonez> k thx
[11:22] <abo> sethk, it says No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. when I double click on the sound icon
[11:22] <ompaul> !grub
[11:22] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[11:23] <nikin> !make
[11:23] <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!)
[11:23] <garryF> Seems grub is a pretty smart program that it can cope with that. :)
[11:23] <gatekeeper> !broken
[11:23] <ubotu> I know nothing about broken - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[11:23] <ptley> mwtb: oh man... is that what ubuntu is supposed to be about?  I just like the logo
[11:23] <mehrdad> !efi
[11:23] <ubotu> I know nothing about efi - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[11:23] <sethk> garryF, it's one of the things grub is designed to do.
[11:24] <sethk> garryF, if you do    info grub     you'll see some examples of how to do it.
[11:24] <garryF> sethk Yeah, I used to prefer lilo, but now the more I use grub, the more I like it.
[11:24] <cyber_brain_mfkg> jrib: i know that but when i use shortcut to open audio player(in keyboard shortcuts) it opens music player not xmms!!!???
[11:24] <mehrdad> !elilo
[11:24] <ubotu> I know nothing about elilo - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[11:25] <acojlo_> how to mount fat32 parition from mtab with read & write access for me?
[11:25] <sethk> garryF, lilo has advantages with more obscure file systems and such.  for routine things I find grub easier to use.  But that's a matter of opinion and both work well.
[11:25] <jrib> cyber_brain_mfkg: ah, I don't know how to change that and have a feeling it's set in the code.  But you can create your own custom keyboard shortcut, using gconf-editor (checkout the keyboard shortcut settings for apps > metacity)
[11:26] <garryF> sethk Yep, I did a lot of lilo editing when I would compile new slackware kernel releases.
[11:28] <thompa> whick kernel do i want for dual core 64?
[11:28] <rsk> x86_64
[11:28] <omong_kosong> !checkinstall
[11:28] <Crazy6> ok, so, why cant I mount my other partition of my hard drive? /dev/sdb1
[11:28] <ubotu> checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CheckInstall  -  Please: Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page.
[11:28] <Crazy6> its not listed under mount
[11:29] <thompa> thanks
[11:29] <Crazy6> and when I try mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/data it says /mnt/data is busy of /dev/sdb1 already mounted
[11:29] <Crazy6> doing a "mount" doesn't list it as already mounted
[11:29] <Crazy6> and /mnt/data shouldnt be busy
[11:30] <ardchoille> Crazy6: Does mount show /mnt/data in use?
[11:30] <DarkAudit> np: Traffic - Every Mothers Son (2:08 / 0:00)
[11:30] <Crazy6> ardchoille: no
[11:30] <edhua> Hello all. After editing the applications menu with Alacarte, the whole menu does not show up anymore. Any advice?
[11:30] <Crazy6> ardchoille: Im thinking it must be some software proccess or kernel thing that is trying to make my life easier by automounting or automanaging it, but I can't figure out what
[11:30] <Crazy6> I turned off Kernel Automounter support in kernel config

[11:32] <derek_> could anyone tell me what multiverse is for dapper in thier /etc/apt/sources.list
[11:32] <derek_> cuz im missing it
[11:32] <jrib> cyber_brain_mfkg: you should setup a custom shortcut there is one section to setup the command and one to setup the bind.  This is in gconf-editor.  I have to go now, someone else can help you in more detail probably

[11:34] <racer-za> hi, anyone know about installing a desktop onto a lamp server?  what i need to know is - can this be done without having in internet connection?  i've apt-cdrom added my desktop cd to sources.list but the system is still trying to download everything and not getting it from the cd..   should it work the way i want it to?
[11:34] <Bonez> when i do
[11:34] <RepriSaL> Crazy6: if i got you right you want to auto-mount it on system start?
[11:35] <mnek_> Some help , about how install XGL with ATI 9250...
[11:35] <sysrpl> nalloth: how would i change the target? i am using make to build the project for linux already
[11:35] <nalioth> racer-za: you'll need to use the 'alternative cd'
[11:35] <Crazy6> RepriSaL: I dont even care abouyt automounting at this point... I just want to be able to mount it period.... because I can't do that
[11:35] <nalioth> sysrpl: i don't compile for windows much, but the procedure should be the same for all unices
[11:35] <racer-za> nalioth:  i have the ship-it cd, and also the server cd..  is that another one?
[11:35] <sysrpl> nalloth: what would that procedure be?
[11:36] <nalioth> racer-za: i believe the 'server' and 'alternate' are the same (unless you have the ubuntu-server iso)
[11:36] <derek_> gatekeeper ya i did
[11:36] <derek_> ive already changed it
[11:36] <Bonez> grub-install dev/dda i get this message mkdir: cannot create directory `/boot/grub': Permission denied

[11:36] <gatekeeper> derek_: excellent :-)
[11:37] <nalioth> racer-za: there is a "server-ubuntu" iso and an 'alternate install' iso (that can be used to install a console Ubuntu or a full install)

[11:37] <Psykus> ok, I read the samba documentation page, what do I need to put into smb.conf to actually define a share?
