[12:01] <foomonkey> I just bought my very own copy of V for Vendetta. I popped it in my Dapper box and it won't play with Totem. Asks me if I'm trying to play it without libdvdcss. I found that and installed and it still won't play. What do I need to play a DVD with DRM?
[12:01] <AlienX> anyone know why k3b would keep giving me errors saying my media isn't supported in dapper while burning DVDs. These are the same DVDs and drive that I've been using for a while. I do have the dvd+rw-tools installed.
[12:01] <sethk> mindfunk_win, apt-get install binutils     is correct.  So perhaps your repository configuration isn't right?
[12:01] <tich> erUSUL, Aldoliel: okay i'll try turning dhcp back on. thanks.

[12:02] <jvai> i tried the dapper live cd on my gyrl's r50 w/ a intel 2200 wifi card, & it found it
[12:02] <redeeman> does the standard ubuntu server installcd not allow for installation to raid1? is the alternate cd really necessary?

[12:06] <mwe> tritium: yes
[12:06] <Vladaz> what's wrong?
[12:07] <flixil> mwe:  maybe it's included
[12:07] <Vladaz> that's in Anjuta
[12:07] <cius> so how does the export CC=gcc-3.4 work with make?  will make now use it?
[12:07] <mwe> tritium: go to ipw2200.sf.net
[12:07] <Warbo> Is it possible to install a package in a system from within a LiveCD, but not through chroot?
[12:07] <cius> oh wait, I bet that depends on your makefile
[12:07] <gputer> azrael0 noted
[12:07] <mwe> tritium: you need binary firmware but maybe it's in the repos
[12:07] <cius> that would make sense
[12:07] <tritium> mwe: how about I use my ipw2200 right now to stay connected, so we can chat on IRC ;)
[12:07] <erUSUL> !sources > mindfunk_win
[12:07] <sethk> Vladaz, you haven't set up a project and given it instructions on how to build it.  what did you expect?
[12:07] <sethk> Vladaz, that's like complaining because you started the editor and it has no lines in it.
[12:07] <Vladaz> i've set up project
[12:07] <Vladaz> but im not sure about instructions
[12:08] <Orestes_UK> So, is the ettiquette to just throw out questions?
[12:08] <mwe> tritium: probably because the firmware is installed with the ubuntu package. it's certainly not in the kernel driver
[12:08] <jvai> i'm in starbuck's now, using the intel 2100
[12:08] <sethk> Vladaz, it didn't generate a makefile.  are you sure you added source files to the project?
[12:08] <erUSUL> Orestes_UK: yes
[12:08] <Vladaz> i've tried terminal project and gnome project
[12:08] <jvai> if it's supported in hoary, it's gotta be supported in dapper
[12:08] <Vladaz> but it does the same
[12:08] <tritium> mwe: my point is that you dont need to download firmware
[12:08] <dngldoo1> what does this mean: "/dev/hdd7 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro) [/media/hdd7] " I get it when I use 'mount -l'

[12:10] <help-the-n00b> Warbo, What?
[12:10] <sethk> Vladaz, or possibly are you doing "build from makefile" instead of the default build?
[12:10] <help-the-n00b> !opera
[12:10] <ubotu> opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser.  Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" is checked.

[12:11] <Vladaz> sethk please, i will be thankful if you'll help me and it will work:)
[12:12] <Warbo> Orestes_UK: Removing the versions that you don't want should remove them from grub
[12:12] <mwe> tritium: let it go. I beleive you
[12:12] <MystaMax> im confused, I'm reading the apache documentation, and in the virtual host section it states to debug run httpd -s, but I cannot run that in ubuntu, i have to run apache2 -s. Why is that?
[12:12] <sethk> Vladaz, it's installing.
[12:12] <Orestes_UK> Thanks Warbo, I'm off to try it. I owe you a beer
[12:12] <Vladaz> actually, what's difference between compiling and building
[12:12] <Warbo> I'm going to boot from the LiveCD now. You honestly do not want to know why :)
[12:12] <Vladaz> couse there's like only compile, compiling with make, build and build all
[12:12] <Vladaz> what's the difference
[12:12] <redeeman> is there really no one that knows?
[12:13] <sethk> Vladaz, compiling usually means that you are producing object code (a .o file) for one source file, .cpp for example.  build usually means build a program from all the necessary source files
[12:13] <Vladaz> if i chose compile
[12:13] <Vladaz> it works
[12:13] <sethk> Vladaz, ok, then there is a separate step to produce a makefile
[12:13] <sethk> Vladaz, you only need the makefile to compile without anjuta
[12:13] <sethk> Vladaz, I just finished the install, let me look at this version of it.
[12:14] <scrappy__> redeeman: knows what? :-)
[12:14] <redeeman> scrappy__: if the ubuntu server installcd supports installing to raid1
[12:14] <P3L|C4N0> greetings
[12:14] <sethk> Vladaz, f11 should have worked for you
[12:14] <Vladaz> ok
[12:14] <Vladaz> something happened
[12:14] <sethk> Vladaz, to answer your question, compile means compile the current source file (the one you are editing)
[12:15] <Vladaz> it strange
[12:15] <sethk> Vladaz, build means build the program.
[12:15] <Vladaz> but i've clicked on Build>Auto Generate
[12:15] <rendo> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop1,  Can ANYONE help me with what that means?
[12:15] <Vladaz> it did strange thing
[12:15] <sethk> Vladaz, ok, and?
[12:15] <Vladaz> lots of writing
[12:15] <Vladaz> and now it works
[12:15] <Vladaz> wtf?
[12:15] <jvai> lol
[12:15] <Vladaz> is that ok?
[12:15] <Vladaz> what does auto generate do
[12:15] <narg> does anyone know what the  default user for the mysqld package is? (I remember what I did for password, but not for user)
[12:15] <sethk> Vladaz, probably.  It may be creating the ./configure script
[12:15] <redeeman> surely someone must know
[12:16] <redeeman> however i find the documentation in this area very lacking
[12:16] <rendo> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop1,  Can ANYONE help me with what that means?
[12:16] <sethk> Vladaz, I use anjuta primarily to automatically set up ./configure for my code.  Not that there is anything wrong with using it for other things, but I'm used to doing it with an editor and just typing make at the command line.
[12:16] <micahcowan> rendo, what exact mount command are you issuing?
[12:16] <Daffy> i'm request paquet "debhelper" for install my sagem on ubuntu 32bit
[12:17] <sethk> Vladaz, it makes sense that you have to generate project files before you can build them.  It should have given you a reasonable error message, but nothing is perfect.  :)

[12:21] <sethk> Vladaz, no, it can generate the makefile for you.  And, you don't need the makefile if you always build from anjuta.
[12:21] <scrappy__> lemac: that was just an alias for bye

[12:21] <help-the-n00b> Operah! The web-browsing talk show! Seriously, I can't find Opera.
[12:22] <gregg__> Frem: maybe the adapter is to be blamed?
[12:22] <rendo> What file command?
[12:22] <holycow> help-the-n00b, ha! thats funny
[12:22] <micahcowan> type "file file.iso"
[12:22] <sethk> Vladaz, the nice thing about a program like anjuta is it let's you learn about the language and takes care of details of compiling and linking.  Once you are comfortable with the programming and things that are different (from the programming perspective) in the o/s, then you can worry about how the build process works.
[12:22] <holycow> operah, the web browsing talk show ...
[12:22] <holycow> catchy
[12:22] <sethk> Vladaz, trying to figure all of that out at one time can be frustrating, so it's nice to break it up.
[12:22] <rendo> It syas Data
[12:22] <help-the-n00b> Seriously, I can't find Opera.
[12:22] <Frem> gregg__, read the post more carefully. I *just* got the adapter yesterday, and the mouse has been doing this for quite a while (months!).
[12:23] <sethk> Vladaz, plus, having the build details taken care of is convenient, and ok as long as you could (if necessary) do it yourself.
[12:23] <RoninGurl> Ok, I tried adding "1280x1024" and "1680x1050" to my xorg.conf file, and ive added it properly to every display bit depth and i ran "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" and it did not show up. I rebooted the PC and they still do not show up in the Gnome screen resolution utility.  Why not?

[12:27] <RoninGurl> mwe, thanks, yah, but there is no aspect ratio option in xorg.conf?
[12:27] <rendo> mount file.iso /mnt/cdrom -o loop
[12:27] <ken> hello
[12:27] <mwe> RoninGurl: look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see why it discards them
[12:27] <ken> i need some help
[12:27] <MatthewV> RoninGurl, for aspect ration just set the resolutions accordingly
[12:27] <TrashCanMan> sup?

[12:28] <ubotu> I know nothing about glade - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:28] <sethk> Vladaz, glade is a GUI specification tool/language

[12:29] <bthornton_> Got a few questions; question the first: Where can I find a mirror list for the repositories included with Synaptic (Ubuntu 6.06 LTS)?  The default mirrors seem to be sketchy lately.
[12:29] <RoninGurl> mwe, http://pastebin.ca/110784
[12:29] <ken> it says i don't have permission to access, write, change permissions......ect to my external harddrive (usb operated)
[12:29] <sethk> RoninGurl, the aspect ratio is fully specified by the resolution.
[12:30] <CJ492> Can anyone help me troubleshoot an SSH remote login issue?  I can login locally, but, get "Permission denied, please try again" when I try to login in remotely....
[12:30] <ken> need help
[12:30] <bthornton_> !mirrors
[12:30] <ubotu> Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive
[12:30] <sethk> ken, you have to change the file ownership or permissions on the external drive.
[12:30] <liquidscythe> hey
[12:30] <MatthewV> CJ492, you've installed openssh-server ?
[12:30] <anderbubble> can anyone else install python-matplotlib ?
[12:30] <RoninGurl> sethk, mwe, the log is saying "out of range" over and over
[12:30] <sethk> ken, by default only root can access it.  use sudo to change the ownership or permissions.
[12:30] <liquidscythe> does anyone know how to set up apache on a ubuntu box
[12:30] <RoninGurl> mwe, http://pastebin.ca/110784
[12:30] <CJ492> MatthewV: yes
[12:30] <liquidscythe> please help
[12:30] <bthornton_> Thanks, ubotu!
[12:30] <anderbubble> I had it installed a few days ago, but a recent package upgrade broke it
[12:30] <sethk> RoninGurl, then the xorg.conf isn't correct for the video card and monitor.
[12:30] <TrashCanMan> liquidscythe: ubuntu server version
[12:30] <gnomefreak> !apache > liquidscythe
[12:30] <anderbubble> the dependencies seem all broken
[12:30] <gnomefreak> liquidscythe: read your pm
[12:30] <mdirc> How do I enable ssh port forwarding
[12:31] <gnomefreak> anderbubble: what version of ubuntu?
[12:31] <iratik_ppp> I asked the linux room this and nobody even knew what it meant! Help! I can't write to my named pipe! Am I even doing it right? http://sial.org/pbot/18750
[12:31] <ken> does anyone know how to fix a problem accessing an external harddrive? i am denied permission to access, write, change permissions......ect
[12:31] <anderbubble> Dapper
[12:31] <MatthewV> mdirc, on your router, etc... forward port 22
[12:31] <gnomefreak> brb
[12:31] <NChief> wich fil did I need to edit to get access to Universe Repository
[12:31] <liquidscythe> k
[12:31] <sethk> mdirc, you are using a ubuntu system as a router and want to use port forwarding on that system?
[12:31] <anderbubble> gnomefreak, dapper
[12:31] <NChief> file
[12:31] <iratik_ppp> "/etc/apt/sources.list"
[12:31] <CJ492> MathewV:  I can connect within my local LAN no problem.  Once I leave the office...  I get the password problem???
[12:31] <bthornton_> Question the second: I'm running Ubuntu 6.06 LTS and would like install the XFCE4 desktop as an *alternate* desktop that I may choose via XDM--but I do not want it to replace GNOME as a default (and I'd like it to leave my GDM and bootup themes alone).  Is there a metapackage which will do this?
[12:31] <MatthewV> CJ492, and the ssh server is running?
[12:32] <MatthewV> CJ492, oh, ok i get that now....
[12:32] <ken> : (\
[12:32] <spc> apparently due to bios not recognizing slave drive - set it to auto, now it's working
[12:32] <RoninGurl> sethk, but the monitor is capable of that, and so is video card. its a laptop that works best on 1680x1050 @60hz
[12:32] <mdirc> I just have a remote ubuntu, and I am trying to forward a port on my windows box using local port forwarding in putty, but the remote machine running ubuntu is not accepting port forwarding. I can do a regualr ssh connection to the machine.
[12:32] <MatthewV> CJ492, maybe the office connection is not allowing ssh connections... ie blocking or refusing port 22
[12:32] <incandenza_> iratik_ppp: in your sudo line, the output redirect does not run as root
[12:33] <incandenza_> iratik_ppp: try doing 'sudo -s' and then do it
[12:33] <LaserJock> gnomefreak: who?
[12:33] <gnomefreak> hold on LaserJock
[12:33] <iratik_ppp> incandenza: thank you
[12:33] <spc> YAY!  Booted into Ubuntu for real!
[12:33] <gnomefreak> anderbubble: LaserJock
[12:33] <CJ492> MatthewV:  I setup my Ubuntu Server (temporarily) as a DMZ so everything should be getting through shouldn't it??
[12:33] <spc> warbo:  Thanks for help.  I'm booted into ubuntu!!!!!!  Woot!!
[12:33] <anderbubble> gnomefreak: excuse me?
[12:33] <gnomefreak> anderbubble: talk to LaserJock about that oackage
[12:33] <ken> does anyone know how to fix a problem accessing an external harddrive? i am denied permission to access, write, change permissions......ect
[12:33] <LaserJock> anderbubble: having problems with matplotlib?
[12:33] <gnomefreak> package
[12:34] <anderbubble> laserjock: yes
[12:34] <Warbo> spc: Well I just screwed up my system with a single command :( I'm in a LiveCD attempting to fix it
[12:34] <anderbubble> laserjock, worked a few days ago, but a recent fix broke the dependencies for me
[12:34] <MatthewV> CJ492, maybe, I'm not too sure on that... but I would think so
[12:34] <CJ492> MatthewV:  Is there a quick way to try a different port jsut in case?
[12:34] <CJ492> just in case?
[12:34] <iratik_ppp> incandenza: what does sudo -s mean?  (I looked at it means run the shell specified) How does that change the user running the output redirect?
[12:34] <JaZy84> hey all i got a laptop, and i just installed ubuntu which it found my exsiting windows home no problem (grub i'm talking about) can i reconfigure grub using the live cd as i'm going to be installing pro instead of home, and i know that will install ms bootloader
[12:34] <ken> i am denied permission to access, write......ect my external harddrive, can anyone help?
[12:35] <gnomefreak> iratik_ppp: sudo -s is normally used for gui apps
[12:35] <redeeman> anyone know if the ubuntu server install cd for i386 supports installing to raid1?
[12:35] <incandenza_> iratik_ppp: that just puts you in a root shell, so you can run the command without the sudo part
[12:35] <spc> warbo: oops - sorry to hear that :(
[12:35] <iratik_ppp> ahh
[12:35] <sethk> JaZy84, back up the MBR using dd  (dd if=/dev/hda of=some-file-name bs=512 count=1)
[12:35] <LaserJock> anderbubble: yeah, in the last update the dependency between python-matplotlib  and python-matplotlib-data got a bit messed up
[12:35] <anderbubble> laserjock, python2.4-matplotlib depends on python-matplotlib-data =0.82-5.ubuntu1 but 0.82-5ubuntu2 is to be installed
[12:35] <iratik_ppp> just run sudo -s && cat pipe_test.txt > to_server ?
[12:35] <sethk> JaZy84, then you can reverse that process to restore grub
[12:35] <anderbubble> laserjock, any way to fix it now? or can I just move back to the previous version?
[12:35] <sethk> JaZy84, before restoring grub, back up your xp mbr (to a different file name  :)  )
[12:36] <anderbubble> laserjock, I'm in the middle of some development with the lib
[12:36] <incandenza_> iratik_ppp: err, no...  you probably just want to change the permissions on the pipe so you can write to it as a normal user
[12:36] <spc> 134 updates - wow.
[12:36] <spc> alright, got to go you all.  Thanks everyone for your help!
[12:36] <MatthewV> CJ492, I'm pretty certain there is, you might have to try looking at that, cause i currently don't have ssh on this pc, I'm still looking though
[12:36] <iratik_ppp> I changed it to nobody:nogroup but the permissions line still reads prw-r--r-- , I only know chmod 777 but that might clear the pipe attribute
[12:36] <LaserJock> anderbubble: I'd go back to the previous version for now. I haven't seen the guy who uploaded it today and if I upload a fix it will still take a little time to hit the archives
[12:37] <ken> i can't access, write......ect my external harddrive, and i need help :(
[12:37] <JaZy84> sethk,  i've already started the windows install before running the dd command.. i should've came here first.. any other ideas
[12:37] <JaZy84> ?
[12:37] <incandenza_> iratik_ppp: if you are user 'admin', then 'sudo chown admin to_server'
[12:37] <mickskyvitch> IRC.NEWNET.NET
[12:37] <anderbubble> laserjock, ok, thanks; could you give a quick bit of help on downgrading? I've never done that with synaptic.
[12:37] <CJ492> MatthewV:  Is there a better/easier way to do remote administration on my Ubuntu/Samba server?
[12:37] <ken> i give up
[12:37] <anderbubble> laserjock, and I can't seem to figure out 'force version'
[12:37] <erUSUL> ken: how do you mounted it?
[12:37] <MatthewV> ken, check /etc/fstab , or check the desktop guide (System --> Help --> System Documentation)
[12:38] <LaserJock> anderbubble: yeah, click on python2.4-matplotlib
[12:38] <erUSUL> !ntfs > ken
[12:38] <spc> wheels3572: sethk / Howitzer : thanks for the help!
[12:38] <ken> not sure, i plugged it in, and it appeared
[12:38] <Warbo> Is it possible to run "sudo dpkg --root=/path/to/ubuntu -i packagename.deb" to install into a broken system mounted at /path/to/ubuntu from a LiveCD? (it is saying "dpkg: syntax error: unknown group `fuse' in statoverride file"
[12:38] <MatthewV> CJ492, don't know.. i use ssh to access my server :) are you sure that the port is forwarded to your machine
[12:38] <LaserJock> anderbubble: then go up to "force version" and you should see a ubuntu1 version in there
[12:38] <mdirc> MatthewV, I can successfully establish an ssh connection to the remote server, but local forwarded ports using putty are denied by the remote Ubuntu system. Do I have to enable port forwarding on that machine.
[12:38] <_X_> now that I've popped in the livecd and havent installed ubuntu yet, can I tell ubuntu to use a different drive for the cd?
[12:38] <redeeman> anyone know if the ubuntu server install cd for i386 supports installing to raid1?
[12:38] <mdirc> If so How do I enable it MatthewV.
[12:38] <ozzloy> what would happen if i were installing 6.06 onto a faulty hard drive?
[12:38] <Warbo> Or would I be better off extracting the package and moving the files across manually?
[12:38] <wheels3572> spc, np :)
[12:39] <PingunZ> can someone tell me a good python editor ?
[12:39] <anderbubble> laserjock, I've done that, but then python2.4-matplotlib remains unchecked... if I click apply, will it still install it?
[12:39] <ozzloy> would the cd dectect that and tell me about it?
[12:39] <Warbo> PingunZ: Gedit?
[12:39] <ozzloy> "that" = bad hard drive
[12:39] <erUSUL> PingunZ: emacs ;)
[12:39] <CJ492> MatthewV:  My thinking was, if it wasn't forwarding, it wouldn't be asking me for my login and then my password, is that correct?
[12:39] <iratik_ppp> incandenza: When i did run it with sudo -s , it just got stuck i guess
[12:39] <LaserJock> anderbubble: hang on a sec, I'll try it on my machine
[12:39] <anderbubble> LaserJock: E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. E: Unable to lock the download directory
[12:39] <iratik_ppp> It just didn't move until i ctrl-c out
[12:39] <phreak97> blargh, ubuntu has gone insane
[12:39] <phreak97> nothing is working anymore
[12:39] <MatthewV> CJ492, yes, sorry, I misunderstood what you said earlier
[12:40] <incandenza_> iratik_ppp: sudo -s drops you into a root shell.  I'm saying, type sudo -s, press return, then type the command
[12:40] <phreak97> i have to restart about 5 or 6 times before i get a fully working boot, or even a usable one
[12:40] <thio> it
[12:40] <jvai> hey, when i configure snort, it asks me for an email; does it want a true email addy?
[12:40] <phreak97> looks like even linux screws up and needs a reinstall occasionally
[12:41] <iratik_ppp> incandenza: thats what i did, and after I ran the command - no feedback came back, just a couple blank lines until I hit ctrl-c
[12:41] <mwe> phreak97: it's probably the file system
[12:41] <incandenza_> iratik_ppp: what command did you run?
[12:41] <mwe> phreak97: can you boot a live cd and check the partition?
[12:41] <MatthewV> CJ492, (wild guess) maybe your ssh server needs to be set up to accept connections from outside the lan, or trusted ip range
[12:41] <LaserJock> phreak97: I usually find that with Linux is more a case that I screw up and need to install ;-)
[12:41] <phreak97> mwe, tonight i can, but i have like one minute before i go to work
[12:42] <PingunZ> I hate the look of emacs, and gedit is to ugly. atm I use screem but I NEED A BETTER EDITOR FOR PYTHON :p
[12:42] <ken> my external harddrive is mounted on /media/sda1
[12:42] <mwe> phreak97: do it when you get back then ;)
[12:42] <phreak97> LaserJock, i havnt done anything to this install for months
[12:42] <MatthewV> PingunZ, bluefish?
[12:42] <CJ492> MatthewV:  I double checked the sshd_config file as per the Ubuntu Wiki and New User info and supposedly it's okay.
[12:42] <phreak97> mwe, i will
[12:42] <erUSUL> !caps > PingunZ
[12:42] <anderbubble> PingunZ, I use jedit and gedit, but you might also try PyDev with eclipse
[12:42] <MatthewV> mdirc, maybe http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.58/htmldoc/Chapter3.html#using-port-forwarding will help?
[12:42] <iratik_ppp> incandenza: sudo -s ;(next prompt) root@company: /var/www/loadmover/micro: cat pipe_text.txt > to_Server
[12:42] <phreak97> LaserJock, all i do is use the net, check emails, and chat etc..
[12:42] <TrashCanMan> pingunz - eclipse
[12:43] <iratik_ppp> er... pipe_test.txt > to_server
[12:43] <phreak97> which is why a free os is perfect for me
[12:43] <jvai> hey, when i configure snort, it asks me for an email; does it want a true email addy?
[12:43] <micahcowan> PingunZ: Personally, I find that aesthetic takes a waaay-back seat to functionality, which is why I'm happy using either gvim or Emacs/XEmacs.
[12:43] <phreak97> anyway, ill be back tonight
[12:43] <phreak97> cya ppl
[12:43] <TrashCanMan> with python module, of course > pingunz
[12:43] <AlexBO_> hello!when can i download the DVD of Dapper Drake?
[12:43] <incandenza_> iratik_ppp: it's probably working...  it's just hanging because the server isn't reading it
[12:43] <jvai> peac out phreak
[12:43] <iratik_ppp> Ahhh
[12:44] <AlexBO_> sorry
[12:44] <AlexBO_> i've found it
[12:44] <AlexBO_> sorry again
[12:44] <liquidscythe> does anyone know where the apache2 doc root is?!?!?!
[12:44] <liquidscythe> does anyone know where the apache2 doc root is?!?!?!
[12:44] <LaserJock> anderbubble: what matplotlib packages do you have installed?
[12:45] <iratik_ppp> liquidscythe: /var/www
[12:45] <TrashCanMan> var/www ?
[12:45] <rikioh>  hda timout waiting for dma .... drive not ready for command                  ---- thats what it says when i try to install in text mode
[12:45] <erUSUL> !repeat > liquidscythe
[12:45] <LaserJock> anderbubble: when I just tried upgrading it removed python-matplotlib and python2.4-matplotlib, same for you?
[12:45] <erUSUL> liquidscythe: /var/www/
[12:45] <iratik_ppp> I am not sure if that particular combination of exclamation marks and question marks acurately describes the urgency of your query
[12:45] <liquidscythe> ok yea
[12:45] <liquidscythe> thanks a lot
[12:46] <anderbubble> LaserJock: yes. at this point, I have no matplotlib packages installed
[12:46] <anderbubble> laserjock, sorry, was reading some docs ;)
[12:46] <rikioh>  hda timout waiting for dma .... drive not ready for command                  ---- thats what it says when i try to install in text mode
[12:46] <Jack_Sparrow> rikioh: how about trying it with the grub boot option ide=nodma
[12:46] <crazy_penguin> night all
[12:46] <TrashCanMan> cya
[12:46] <rikioh> jack sparrow
[12:46] <rikioh> i have no idea what u just said
[12:46] <rikioh> :(
[12:47] <TrashCanMan> I'm off too, see ya
[12:47] <Jack_Sparrow> rikioh: it looks like you are trying the alt cd after the live didnt work
[12:47] <rikioh> yes
[12:47] <rikioh> i got into the live cd
[12:47] <crazy_penguin> sleep well :)
[12:47] <rikioh> was able to get a network connection
[12:47] <rikioh> but when i clicked install
[12:47] <rikioh> and got to the partion part
[12:47] <rikioh> my pc rebooted
[12:47] <rikioh> and now i cant get back in
[12:47] <rikioh> so im trying the alt cd
[12:47] <Jack_Sparrow> rikioh: if you type jack and hit tab you should have autocomplete of my nick which highlights it for me and makes it easier to follow
[12:47] <LaserJock> anderbubble: ok, I got it. first click on python-matplotlib-data and "force version" that and then do it to python-matplotlib
[12:47] <iratik_ppp> incandenza: how do i get out of sudo -s?
[12:48] <incandenza_> iratik_ppp: 'exit'
[12:48] <goldenflaw> hi, my friend has problem with dapper draker install, the install stops at 50% all the time
[12:48] <MatthewV> goldenflaw, maybe bad media?
[12:48] <iratik_ppp> sorry, didn't figure the answer would be that simple
[12:48] <Jack_Sparrow> rikioh: does the livecd boot?
[12:48] <incandenza_> heh, np
[12:48] <linlin> i need to increase the resolution of a command line only linux environment
[12:48] <goldenflaw> Bad media as in?
[12:48] <linlin> how is that done?
[12:49] <rikioh> yes it boots i can sometimes get it to go into kobuntu othertimes it just reboots while its trying
[12:49] <anderbubble> laserjock, seems to be working. thanks
[12:49] <Warbo> Has anybody used the --root= option in dpkg before?
[12:49] <gregg__> linlin: try vga=ask for kernel boot option
[12:49] <anderbubble> laserjock, any idea when this will be fixed for real?
[12:49] <MatthewV> goldenflaw, as in the cd didn't burn properly, or has errors...
[12:49] <goldenflaw> no, I ordered it and it was shipped to me
[12:49] <LaserJock> anderbubble: as soon as we can :-) I would hope today
[12:49] <redeeman> anyone know if the ubuntu server install cd for i386 supports installing to raid1?
[12:49] <gregg__> linlin: it'll give you a list of modes you can choose from, accompanied by a number. then use this number for the option to make it permanent
[12:50] <Jack_Sparrow> rikioh: Is this a P4?
[12:50] <rikioh> no this is like a p3 i think 733 mhz
[12:50] <anderbubble> laserjock, cool. thanks again
[12:51] <MatthewV> goldenflaw, could still be a problem with that, i would check the media at least, which can be done from the boot choices on the cd.... cds can get scratched or otherwise damaged... or just try diff media, see if that helps
[12:51] <Jack_Sparrow> rikioh: It just seems like you may have an overheating or bad ram.. maybe some other hardware issue..
[12:51] <goldenflaw> Thanks a lot.
[12:51] <AlienX> anyone know why k3b would keep giving me errors saying my media isn't supported in dapper while burning DVDs. These are the same DVDs and drive that I've been using for a while. I do have the dvd+rw-tools installed. I also tried to use growisofs and am having the same issues.
[12:51] <LaserJock> anderbubble: np, sorry that happened. It's honestly just a substitution of "1" with "2" in 2 lines :/
[12:51] <goldenflaw> Do you think there could be another problem?
[12:51] <rikioh> i have other ram i can switch into it
[12:51] <goldenflaw> oh also, one thing to mention, the live cd works just fine
[12:52] <Jack_Sparrow> goldenflaw: live cd works fine but the install hangs and you did the cd self test?
[12:52] <bruenig> go with the alternate
[12:52] <MatthewV> goldenflaw, possible, but the media problem is the most likely, i'm not sure what else would be causing that...
[12:52] <goldenflaw> Thanks to you
[12:52] <MatthewV> goldenflaw, are you installing from the live cd though?
[12:53] <goldenflaw> My friend is, yes
[12:55] <anderbubble> laserjock, yeah, I noticed that. even mentioned it in lanuchpad, but no reply there
[12:55] <goldenflaw> how would you set up the partitions, 512 MB swap and other as EXT3?
[12:56] <LaserJock> anderbubble: oh, don't worry. We see *everything* hehe. I just wasn't sure of the proper channels to get the fix through since it is for dapper-updates
[12:56] <IRC_> whenever i try to install a package in alien, it doesnt run in the terminal. Can someone help me?
[12:56] <jvai> hey, when i configure snort, it asks me for an email; does it want a true email addy?
[12:56] <Jack_Sparrow> goldenflaw: let the installer do the partitioning for ext3 and the swap
[12:56] <goldenflaw> ok
[12:56] <Jack_Sparrow> goldenflaw: Tell it to use all unallocated space
[12:57] <goldenflaw> Alright, thanks
[12:57] <LaserJock> anderbubble: I noticed the problem myself yesterday when I was updating my box at home
[12:57] <Jack_Sparrow> goldenflaw: that way it wont touch your other partitions and will dual boot if it finds xp
[12:57] <phed_> hi. how do I enable antialiasing in Wine applications?
[12:57] <goldenflaw> she deleted everything already :x
[12:58] <IRC_> whenever i try to install a package in alien, it installs, but i never see it again. why is this?
[12:58] <Jack_Sparrow> goldenflaw: then tell the installer to format and use the whole drive
[12:58] <goldenflaw> Ok
[12:58] <tritium> IRC_: only use alien as a last resort.  Look for ubuntu packages instead.
[12:58] <Jack_Sparrow> tritium: agreed
[12:58] <tritium> IRC_: what did you use alien to install?
[12:58] <Warbo> How can I access a deb as an archive?
[12:59] <IRC_> tritium: im trying to install ccpublisher
[12:59] <IRC_> tritium: its in a rpm
[12:59] <lemac> how can i read or write my reiserfs partitions with ubuntu live ?
[12:59] <Jack_Sparrow> !restricted

[01:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Warbo: when I need to get a deb directly I type it into a browser like http://www.debian-multimedia.org/pool/main/w/w32codecs/w32codecs_20060611-0.0_i386.deb
[01:00] <IRC_> tritium: how do i install an rpm on ubuntu
[01:01] <Jack_Sparrow> IRC_: look for the deb in the repos
[01:01] <Warbo> Jack_Sparrow: I mean I want to open/extract the files from a Deb (the LiveCD doesn't do this in file roller by default)
[01:01] <mathieu_> anyone know how I would go about extracting all of the file attachments out of a maildir ?
[01:01] <Xenguy> IRC_: try not to :-)  Otherwise use alien
[01:01] <Jack_Sparrow> ah
[01:01] <CokeNCode> hey, g'night everyone ... which process uses ipp ? port 631 ?
[01:01] <IRC_> Jack_sparrow: ive already looked. there is none
[01:02] <sethk> CokeNCode, cups
[01:02] <IRC_> xenguy: is there another program that can install rpms?
[01:02] <Jack_Sparrow> IRC_: what are you trying to install
[01:02] <sethk> CokeNCode, which is printing
[01:02] <Xenguy> IRC_: not AFAIK
[01:02] <sethk> CokeNCode, ipp is internet printing protocol
[01:02] <Ronz> hey, how do i disable pmount? im trying to format a drive, and it keeps restarting
[01:02] <lemac>  how can i read or write my reiserfs partitions with ubuntu live ? any suggestion will be appreciated..
[01:02] <IRC_> Jack_Sparrow: im trying to install ccpublisher. its a program that uploads stuff to creative commons. they dont have a deb up
[01:02] <Ronz> lemac, you should be able to
[01:03] <lemac> how?
[01:03] <Warbo> lemac: I think ReiserFS just works. Not Reiser4 though
[01:03] <Ronz> just mount the drive
[01:03] <CokeNCode> sethk, ok, thanks
[01:03] <CokeNCode> sethk,  does it have to leave the port open all the time ?
[01:04] <CokeNCode> i hate running nmap and finding an open port
[01:04] <Jack_Sparrow> IRC_: good luck...  Does the cc site offer any help?
[01:04] <lemac> ronz yes.. but how!?
[01:05] <rikioh> ok jack changed out memory and am now trying live cd again
[01:05] <Ronz> lemac, mount -t reiserfs /dev/waytodrive /path/to/mountpoint
[01:05] <Jack_Sparrow> rikioh: k hope that helps, also check the cpu temp in bios the next time it decides to auto restart
[01:05] <mwe> or just mount should detect the fs
[01:05] <Xenguy> IRC_: another option might be to get the source and install with checkinstall
[01:06] <lostinc> What is the sound app that comes with Ubuntu that will burn ogg or mp3 to regular cd?
[01:06] <IRC_> Jack_sparrow: it says to install the tgz manually. i tried to but it keeps giving me this error of needing wxpython but i cant figure out how to install that either
[01:06] <IRC_> xenguy: what is checkinstall
[01:06] <Jack_Sparrow> lostinc: serpentine
[01:06] <jvai> sound juicer?
[01:07] <jvai> my bad, it's serpentine
[01:07] <mwe> IRC_: checkinstall creates a .deb when you have compiled your program and installs it. that way it will be easy to remove
[01:07] <mwe> IRC_: or update
[01:07] <Xenguy> IRC_: apt-cache show checkinstall   <-- type that in a terminal/prompt
[01:07] <Kyral> checkinstall is shit on a stick
[01:07] <Jack_Sparrow> IRC_: that is for python script... it is in the repos..
[01:07] <DarkElf109> !language
[01:07] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[01:08] <lostinc> Thanks
[01:08] <Jack_Sparrow> IRC_: the name evades me at the moment..
[01:08] <lemac> ronz thanks
[01:08] <Ronz> did that work lemac ?
[01:08] <lemac> yep
[01:08] <CokeNCode> are there any exploits out for ssh or ipp ?
[01:08] <lostinc> Is there a better GTK based app?
[01:08] <Kyral> for?
[01:08] <CokeNCode> coz my system was freezing every  now and again just now ... until i closed all my ports
[01:08] <IRC_> Jack_sparrow: yeah i searched for wx and wxpython. nothing came up
[01:08] <CokeNCode> and stopped port forwarding ot my box
[01:09] <mwe> CokeNCode: probably. but they get fixed all the time
[01:09] <Jack_Sparrow> IRC_: for some reason I am thining gstreamer
[01:09] <lostinc> Is there a better GTK based app similar to serpintine?
[01:09] <micahcowan> CokeNCode: system freezes don't sound like exploits...
[01:09] <Kyral> whats Serptentine?
[01:09] <Tommy2k4> rikioh u getting anywhere?
[01:09] <Kyral> some CD-Burner?
[01:09] <CokeNCode> micahcowan, yeh ... i was thinking the same thing ... but i remember a few exploits bac kin the day that caused the system to freeze ... well ... for windows anyway
[01:10] <IRC_> jack_sparrow: gstreamer is audio and video. python is a programming language
[01:10] <micahcowan> CokeNCode: I suppose you've checked to make sure precious bits inside your case aren't coated with dust?
[01:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Tommy2k4: he swapped the ram and is testing it now
[01:10] <CokeNCode> i think it may be my tv card also
[01:10] <Tommy2k4> kk
[01:10] <CokeNCode> micahcowan, yeh ... i did
[01:10] <CokeNCode> i found this in my system log ...
[01:10] <CokeNCode> Aug  1 18:25:54 localhost kernel: [17179602.532000]  saa7130[0] /irq: looping -- clearing PE (parity error!) enable bit
[01:10] <CokeNCode> could that cause a system freeze ?
[01:10] <Kyral> Gnomebaker and Graveman are good GTK burners
[01:11] <jvai> gnomebaker is nice, i'm stuk on it
[01:11] <mwe> CokeNCode: sounds like a hardware error to me
[01:11] <Kyral> then again I am a KDE Fan :D
[01:11] <Kyral> k3b for life :D
[01:11] <Warbo> Will cp -r merge folders (so source/folder1/file2 will not remove dest/folder1/file1) or overwrite them?
[01:11] <CokeNCode> mwe, ok ... would the error i just put up ... wud that cause the system to freeze ... the parity error ?
[01:11] <Kyral> overwrite
[01:11] <Kyral> if there is a file with the same name
[01:12] <Warbo> Kyral: I am on about folders wit the same name. Will the contents be merged?
[01:12] <mwe> CokeNCode: I'm not sure. the error would not 'pop up'
[01:12] <Kyral> no
[01:12] <andrewski> can anyone help with java?  i've installed sun-java5-jre, but java-version still shows 1.4.2. :-/
[01:12] <IRC_> jack_sparrow: so what should i install it with?
[01:12] <Warbo> andrewski: Install Galternatives (or use sudo update-alternatives)
[01:12] <minerale> Hi, I was having trouble with firefox and flash sounds, I was told to fix it by installing oss and changing /etc/firefox/firefoxrc ...DSP="aoss" -> That works but now flash frequently crashes when playing audio
[01:13] <Jack_Sparrow> IRC_: I had to install squash-fstools for a diff py script
[01:13] <mwe> andrewski: sudo update-alternatives --config java
[01:13] <CokeNCode> mwe, well, it didn't 'pop up' an error msg ... i had to go thru the system logs to find it
[01:13] <andrewski> Warbo, mwe: thanks; that makes sense.
[01:13] <mwe> CokeNCode: it doesn't pop up
[01:13] <IRC_> jack_sparrow: its not in the ubuntu base
[01:14] <mwe> CokeNCode: the kernel know nothing about gnome
[01:14] <CokeNCode> ok
[01:14] <mwe> CokeNCode: neither does syslog
[01:14] <JimBobDobelena> I have a ubuntu problem.
[01:14] <CokeNCode> oh ok
[01:14] <JimBobDobelena> I can't find my ubuntu cd.
[01:14] <CokeNCode> well, i dunno ... the problem seems to be "solved"
[01:14] <CokeNCode> for now anyway
[01:14] <jrib> JimBobDobelena: why do you need it?
[01:14] <Jack_Sparrow> IRC_: http://www.wxpython.org/download.php
[01:15] <JimBobDobelena> to install ubuntu
[01:15] <mwe> JimBobDobelena: well I don't think I can help you find it. did you look under your pillow?
[01:15] <JimBobDobelena> everywhere man
[01:15] <jrib> JimBobDobelena: can you download a .iso and burn a new one?
[01:15] <mwe> JimBobDobelena: ;)
[01:15] <JimBobDobelena> and im over my cap, i cant download it
[01:15] <JimBobDobelena> im reduced to 5k
[01:15] <IRC_> jack_sparrow: theres no deb. this doesnt solve my problem
[01:15] <CokeNCode> caps SUCK !
[01:15] <JimBobDobelena> anyone here from NZ?
[01:15] <JimBobDobelena> i buy a copy!
[01:16] <JimBobDobelena> caps SUCK!
[01:16] <CokeNCode> what kind of fascist isp's institute caps
[01:16] <Jack_Sparrow> IRC_: sorry, cant help you much..
[01:16] <jrib> JimBobDobelena: you can buy a dvd from amazon.com, they probably send to NZ?
[01:16] <CokeNCode> JimBobDobelena, get mark and company to mail you one for free
[01:16] <CokeNCode> aren't they still doing that ?
[01:16] <Grok_> is it apt-get install kubuntu-desktop or kde-desktop to install kde on ubuntu (gnome)?
[01:16] <jbrimble> Does Linux support NTFS yet?
[01:16] <Tommy2k4> kubuntu-desktop
[01:16] <jrib> JimBobDobelena: also, some people sell on ebay.  You can use shipit, but you have to wait like 4-6 weeks (from my experience in the US)
[01:16] <mwe> CokeNCode: but isn't there usually a substaincial delay?
[01:17] <mercykiller> jbrimble: Reading NTFS is stable, writing is still a tad touchy.
[01:17] <Jack_Sparrow> jbrimble: very experimental
[01:17] <CokeNCode> mwe, i have no clue ... i just download it as soon as the latest version comes out
[01:17] <Xenguy> jbrimble: read-only, but I hear write is coming
[01:17] <Fox^> Hello everyone
[01:17] <IRC_> are there any developers on this irc?
[01:17] <CokeNCode> that's what my adsl connection is for after all
[01:17] <mwe> CokeNCode: I heard the 4-6 weeks song a few times
[01:17] <Xenguy> RSN :-)
[01:17] <cavediver> Hi.
[01:17] <CokeNCode> damn ... 4 to 6 weeks ... that sucks ... but ... hey ... it's free ... *shrugs
[01:17] <DarkElf109> !language
[01:17] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[01:17] <jrib> cavediver: hello
[01:18] <jbrimble> Ah, thanks guys. I desperately need to see if my drives are still working.. windows has stuffed up
[01:18] <GreenCult> hi all
[01:18] <Grok_> thanks
[01:18] <mwe> CokeNCode: yeah. I heard other people being lucky, getting it in a few days though
[01:18] <cavediver> Seems my laptop go down in performance when running on batteries. Can that be changed so it runs on full performance?
[01:18] <Jack_Sparrow> !diskmounter > jbrimble:
[01:19] <mwe> JimBobDobelena: I wonder what it would cost to send a cd from denmark
[01:19] <Jack_Sparrow> jbrimble: use the diskmounter script
[01:20] <CokeNCode> cavediver, go to system -> power management settings
[01:20] <cavediver> CokeNCode: yes.
[01:20] <CokeNCode> i think it should be in there somewhere ...
[01:20] <cavediver> CokeNCode: it's not :)
[01:20] <CokeNCode> oh ... that sucks ... i was just taking a stab in the dark ... coz noone else seemed to know ... good luck with that
[01:21] <BobDoblemba> JimBobDobelena what is the best windows to dual boot with ubuntu? i need windows just for my mp3 player to transfer songs
[01:21] <BobDoblemba> JimBobDobelena Im not going to buy it, thought i would borrow a mates cd and then go to confession.
[01:21] <BobDoblemba> JimBobDobelena or is there an alternative to my sony software ?
[01:21] <Warbo> Right, I THINK I have recovered my system, so I'll reboot. Wish me luck :)
[01:21] <Jack_Sparrow> BobDoblemba: to transfer songs to what?
[01:21] <BobDoblemba> a sony mp3 player
[01:22] <BobDoblemba> i wish i could do it on ubuntu havent tried... assuming i need to use the windows software.
[01:22] <Jack_Sparrow> BobDoblemba: most players show up as removeable drives
[01:22] <acojlo> ah... gnome desktop - it's such a good .... oh ... it's like revolution :)
[01:22] <Ammalisa> Can someone help me with an install, I'm brand new and running Ubuntu
[01:22] <mwe> BobDoblemba: isn't is usb mass storage?
[01:22] <mwe> BobDoblemba: my noname mp3 player is
[01:22] <acojlo> i've just switched from kde to gnome - but I think it's allmost all switch from kubuntu to ubuntu
[01:22] <Jack_Sparrow> Ammalisa: just ask your question
[01:22] <Ammalisa> ok thanks
[01:23] <mwe> BobDoblemba: it works like a pen drive when I plug it in
[01:24] <Ammalisa> I am trying to install glib-2.12.0 I open the install it tells me what to do, when I try to copy/paste that stuff in the terminal..it tells me no job, what am I doing wrong please?
[01:24] <Ammalisa> I can't even make x-chat use the black theme
[01:24] <cavediver> Doesn't seem to find any battery vs ac performance settings
[01:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Ammalisa: have you tried synaptic?  the repos?
[01:25] <cavediver> i installed aiglx and it runs perfect with laptop on ac, but very much slower when on batteries.
[01:25] <Ammalisa> synaptic confuses me, I have yet to find a package or anything that I have downloaded on there, and trust me I've gone to webpage after webpage telling me how to do it
[01:25] <UbuntuJulez> hello
[01:26] <mwe> Ammalisa: do you need 2.12 for some specific reason?
[01:26] <mwe> Ammalisa: ubuntu provides 2.10
[01:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Ammalisa: have you enabled multiverse and universe
[01:26] <jvai> sometymes a log out/log in will help w/ new installs showing in the menu
[01:26] <UbuntuJulez> Does anyone know how to change your default application for a media type and why the TOTEM player gives me "subclass didnt' specify output size" errors when attemping to expand a window while playing a WMV file
[01:26] <Ammalisa> Yes, I was trying to plkay a movie and the program said that I needed to d/l plug-in's and glib and a few others were named as stuff I needed to have to run the movies
[01:27] <mwe> !info libglib2.0-0
[01:27] <ubotu> libglib2.0-0: The GLib library of C routines. In repository main, is optional. Version 2.10.3-0ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 468 kB, installed size 1020 kB
[01:27] <erUSUL> Ammalisa: sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-0 does not work?
[01:27] <mwe> Ammalisa: sudo aptitude install libglib2.0-0 to install glib
[01:27] <Xenguy> UbuntuJulez: totem never seems to work for me; I've started to use 'vlc' instead
[01:27] <UbuntuJulez> I use VLC as well
[01:27] <UbuntuJulez> but VLC won't play a lot of WMV files
[01:28] <UbuntuJulez> even with gstreamer-plugins-ugly or whatever
[01:28] <minerale> Hi, I was having trouble with firefox and flash sounds, I was told to fix it by installing oss and changing /etc/firefox/firefoxrc ...DSP="aoss" -> That works but now flash frequently crashes when playing audio, anyone has had to go through this ?
[01:28] <micahcowan> UbuntuJulez, did you install w32codecs?
[01:28] <erUSUL> !codecs > Ammalisa
[01:28] <UbuntuJulez> yes mic
[01:28] <mwe> UbuntuJulez: you can't play some new wmv files in linux for now
[01:28] <Xenguy> UbuntuJulez: WMV does seem to be a sucky format; there's (g)xine as well if need be
[01:28] <UbuntuJulez> mwe..okay, thats fine with me :-)
[01:28] <UbuntuJulez> WMV sucks anyway i guess
[01:28] <UbuntuJulez> hahah
[01:28] <UbuntuJulez> oops..sorry for the language
[01:29] <mwe> UbuntuJulez: I don't know why anyone is using that crap
[01:29] <UbuntuJulez> otherwise, i just watned to say that Ubuntu rocks
[01:29] <mwe> UbuntuJulez: because it's windows default probably
[01:29] <micahcowan> I'm not sure "s*cks" is a bad word? I think it was d*mn that gets the bang-language.
[01:29] <UbuntuJulez> :-))
[01:29] <vorbote> UbuntuJulez, and did you install gstreamer0.10-ffmepg AND gstreamer0.10-pitfdll (w32codecs are useless without the latter)?
[01:29] <UbuntuJulez> vorbote, i dont think so, but i will try that when i get home..thank :-)
[01:29] <Xenguy> micahcowan: yeah, let's not get *too* PC here ;-)
[01:29] <micahcowan> Xenguy, exactly
[01:30] <micahcowan> For my part, I think d*mn is a pretty tame word anyway, but I know some object...
[01:30] <UbuntuJulez> oh i only said sorry b/c it was an official channel
[01:30] <UbuntuJulez> and i wasn't sure how restrictive language was
[01:30] <Ammalisa> mwe it tells me Reading package lists... Done
[01:30] <Ammalisa> Building dependency tree... Done
[01:30] <Ammalisa> E: Couldn't find package glib-2.12.0
[01:30] <Ammalisa> fox@Mu-desktop:~$
[01:31] <micahcowan> UbuntuJulez: Yes, well, it /is/ better to be safe than sorry, and language is discouraged here. But I think you were quite fine. :-)
[01:31] <mwe> Ammalisa: wrong command
[01:31] <mwe> Ammalisa: that's not what I told you
[01:31] <mwe> Ammalisa: sudo aptitude install libglib2.0-0 to install glib
[01:31] <Ammalisa> No that's what comes out after I put in what you told me mwe
[01:31] <mwe> Ammalisa: that will get glib2.10-3 despite the name
[01:31] <UbuntuJulez> but yes, Ubuntu rocks!!! i was using fedora but ubuntu actually works with my printer and scanner and all my hardware and there are even little python scripts or other user-created programs that install all the "ugly" stuff people want..really easily
[01:31] <Ammalisa> ok I will try that now
[01:31] <micahcowan> UbuntuJulez: Anyway, apologizing "just-in-case" is a much better response than, after being told to tame one's tongue, spouting off more obsceneties as sometimes happens. :-)
[01:32] <mwe> Ammalisa: like I told you the first time ;)
[01:32] <UbuntuJulez> so i am very very happy with it
[01:32] <Jack_Sparrow> amazing, someone asks for help and then they do whatever they were going to do in the first place or that messed them up before
[01:32] <UbuntuJulez> lol i'm sure you all wanted to hear that
[01:32] <micahcowan> UbuntuJulez: Yeah, I recently switched to ubuntu from fedora as well. Debian-based systems seem so much better to deal with packaging-system-wise
[01:33] <UbuntuJulez> my friends come over and are like "wow, what is this..its cool"
[01:33] <Ammalisa> mwe: Thank you, that did it
[01:33] <Ernst> i am looking for a way to install the Tidy modules for php5
[01:33] <jhasse> do someone know a good bittorrent tracker for ubuntu?
[01:33] <UbuntuJulez> Ammalisa, nice name
[01:33] <mwe> Ammalisa: yw
[01:33] <jhasse> sry, does
[01:33] <Jack_Sparrow> UbuntuJulez: drop some themes into theme manager and they will really go wow
[01:33] <Ammalisa> Thank you UbuntuJulez  I like yours too
[01:33] <UbuntuJulez> Jack, have already done that :-)
[01:34] <UbuntuJulez> I created 128 screen shots in 2 hours once, when i was bored... lol---all very different in appearance
[01:34] <jhasse> Does someone know a bittorrent tracker for ubuntu?
[01:34] <UbuntuJulez> jhasse, bittornado?
[01:34] <snoops> UbuntuJulez tracker is different to client..
[01:34] <UbuntuJulez> sorry, i just caught that
[01:35] <Ernst> Why is the offer of php5 modules so thin? I need some modules that arn't in, can anyone help me?
[01:35] <snoops> torrentbits is one opensource php based tracker..
[01:35] <Ronz> how do i keep pmount from mounting a drive?
[01:35] <jhasse> snoops, hmm... Okay, thank you, i will try him.
[01:36] <UbuntuJulez> how do you mount windows shares taht are on the same drive as your ubuntu install? that is one thing i seem to have issues with
[01:36] <warren__> why doesnt my ubuntu system recognize my soundcard???
[01:37] <Ronz> UbuntuJulez, what partition is your windows?
[01:37] <LueX> i've got a question to grub
[01:37] <Jack_Sparrow> UbuntuJulez:  use the diskmounter script
[01:37] <Jack_Sparrow> !diskmounter
[01:37] <UbuntuJulez> should be hda1, ronz
[01:37] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[01:37] <snoops> jhasse it uses php and mysql and is fairly popular.. I'm sure there are others..don't know the names of them though. tbsource_astringofnumbers is usually the filename
[01:38] <micahcowan> warren_, what's your soundcard?
[01:38] <distanceisdeath> hello i installed an ndiswrapper for NETMA111 and it has the driver present and the hardware present...but wlan0 comes up as no wireless extensions...what do i do? i am running ubuntu dapper drake 6.06
[01:38] <Ernst> ubuntujulez: ntfs doesn't work that well with linux, shared disks/partitions can best be fat
[01:38] <warren__> 82801 dbm
[01:38] <[cro] smiley> hi all
[01:38] <UbuntuJulez> i dont want to write; just read
[01:38] <jhasse> snoops, i can't find the internetsite, do you know the url?
[01:38] <Jack_Sparrow> UbuntuJulez:  writing to ntfs is NOT a good idea
[01:38] <snoops> shared disks/partitions..you can just use the ext2 (which works with ext3 volumes without journalling) driver for windows to access your ext3 volumes.

[01:50] <Strykyr> \fixing*
[01:51] <insta> Strykyr: get the EasyUbuntu package after you install ... should be rather seamless if you're coming from Windows.
[01:51] <Jack_Sparrow> Strykyr: Does the live version work ok?
[01:51] <princeofdarkness> hi!!!!
[01:51] <Strykyr> i havent t

[01:51] <Schumi> i just got everything installed. its very easy.
[01:51] <micahcowan> insta: I believe NFS/ypasswd is a typical way of doing what you want. Unfortunately, I've never set this up before, so i wouldn't be much further help... :-(
[01:51] <Strykyr> im going with the full cd
[01:51] <Jack_Sparrow> Strykyr: Avoid easyubuntu if possible
[01:51] <Strykyr> in its own tower
[01:51] <cpk2> its pretty easy without easyubuntu
[01:51] <Schumi> pop it in and follow directions.
[01:52] <acojlo> strange - cpu fan is working better than with kde
[01:52] <insta> NFS is what I'm using for the home folders, I'll look into ypasswd

[01:53] <Sephnoth> is there a way to setup apt-get server or something like you had to for urpmi on mandriva? im trying to follow a tutorial for ICS and it told me to apt-get install dnsmasq but it cant find that package
[01:54] <Jack_Sparrow> Strykyr: IT may only use the one drive for the moment then we can get the other going

[02:04] <Jack_Sparrow> When you are on the net.. that is how you do it..
[02:04] <Schumi> I have dial up... will ubuntu share a connection with win XP over a LAN?
[02:04] <airz3r0> is it pluged in ?>
[02:05] <Schumi> I could go grab some calbe and a hub and try it..
[02:05] <tritium> acojlo: if your computer is not whitelisted (in which case it already setup for it), edit /etc/default/acpi-support, and uncomment line 2.  Then, reboot.  Further tweaking may be necessary to that file to get it working just right.
[02:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Schumi: ewwwwwwwwww  that changes things
[02:05] <mwe> Schumi: it can
[02:06] <acojlo> i'm very pleased with gnome. OpenOffice was looking very very bad - bad allmost to feel seek - but now it's great
[02:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Schumi: I have not done anything dialup in awhile so someone else will need to help with that..
[02:06] <airz3r0> i use 14.4
[02:06] <Jack_Sparrow> mwe thanks for taking that

[02:08] <airz3r0> k
[02:08] <acojlo> well, my acpi-support is good . But, I installed ubuntu-desktop and gnome-desktop over kdm - kdm is allmost removed. What am I missing?
[02:08] <thanatos> how can i check i someone is prefoming a man in the middle attack on me?
[02:08] <thanatos> how can i check if someone is prefoming a man in the middle attack on me?

[02:09] <acojlo> also, how to speed up a little gnome? what packages am I missing?
[02:09] <Schumi> k i got a hub and some calbe connecting the two.. im going to share my dialup in xp.. ima see if I can get this working
[02:09] <airz3r0> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[02:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Schumi: Sorry I could not help more.
[02:09] <rob_p> thanatos:  You can't!  Not very easily, anyhow.  That's why you make sure your sensitive data exchanges are encrypted.
[02:10] <Schumi> thanks.. i think I can get this working. I have tried linux so many times but this time I going to go the full way I think.
[02:10] <Schumi> I screwed up partitioning on intall and ended up giving my XP only 20Gb (full) and ubuntu 60Gb, instead of the oppposite.
[02:10] <thanatos> i tried to login to my linux box(ssh) and i got this message: "WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!"
[02:10] <ahlich> thanatos: why do you ask? did u get a message or just curious?
[02:10] <mwe> Schumi: first you need to lan xp and linux together. when they can ping each other set up inter connection sharing on xp and set it as gateway for the linux host
[02:10] <Schumi> so I'm going to stick with it.
[02:10] <rikioh> ok i got kubuntu installed but during the installation i dont remember it asking me for a username and password... but when i try to boot into kubuntu it asks me for a username and password
[02:11] <rikioh> is there a standard auto username and password
[02:11] <Schumi> i have my dialup set up to share... all is good on the XP side, i just don't know what to do on the linux side
[02:11] <rikioh> or am i gonna have to reinstall
[02:11] <thanatos> wut could cause the RSA host key to change?
[02:11] <Schumi> oh shit it works
[02:11] <Schumi> i didnt have to do anything
[02:12] <Schumi> SWEET.
[02:12] <airz3r0> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GL4hyATkQ74
[02:12] <simpo> hello; how can i configure my dhcp server to be a dns server too ?
[02:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Schumi: Nice work
[02:12] <thanatos> oh wait nm, lol, i changed the installed distro
[02:12] <Tommy2k4> rikioh did it ask you to name the pc
[02:12] <rob_p> All that means is that the hostname for the fingerprint has changed.  Look in your ~/.ssh/known_hosts file.  It contains hostname to key mapping on file.
[02:12] <Snake> So whats new in edgy so far aside from upgraded packages?
[02:13] <mwe> Schumi: heh
[02:13] <rikioh> yes i left the name of the pc as ubuntu
[02:13] <Schumi> now.. im going to get this irc on there and then figure out how to get my video resolution up to where it should be. is dual monitors possible because seeing two of everything right now is ugh
[02:13] <Jack_Sparrow> rikioh: So changing the ram worked?
[02:13] <rikioh> but it never asked me for a password
[02:13] <mwe> Schumi: it's not going through windows but directly to the modem I guess?
[02:13] <rikioh> no jack.... put it on a different pc
[02:13] <Jack_Sparrow> ah
[02:13] <Snake> So whats new in edgy so far aside from upgraded packages?
[02:14] <Schumi> no its going through windows directly. its a dell XP laptop with an internal dial up modem. windows is sharing the connection over my hub
[02:14] <tritium> Schumi: please keep the language family-friendly
[02:14] <rikioh> i left the computer name as ubuntu..... but i dont remember it asking me for a password
[02:14] <rikioh> so im not sure what to do
[02:14] <Schumi> oh ok, sry.
[02:14] <tritium> rikioh: it asked you for your user password
[02:15] <tritium> Schumi: no problem :)
[02:15] <vorbote> rikioh, reboot and in the bootloader screen choose the recovery option (single user). You'll boot into the console.
[02:15] <rikioh> and from there what should i do vorbote cuz i wont have internet
[02:15] <vorbote> rikioh, when you are at the console, type "passwd -u <yourusername>"
[02:15] <mwe> tritium: some of your text looks very ugly and weird here
[02:15] <Sephnoth> thanks for your help all, server now setup :)  back later
[02:15] <vorbote> and chose the password you want.
[02:15] <Ronz> hey hey...how do i set up file sharing in linux?
[02:16] <rikioh> passwrd -u?
[02:16] <Jack_Sparrow> vorbote: what if he dosent know his user name
[02:16] <vorbote> Then type "exit" and the system will boot into the graphical session. Use the new password
[02:16] <shiv> I cannot execute some scripts what am I doing wrong sudo chmod 700 ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/*.*
[02:16] <tritium> mwe: yeah, sorry, dapper broke a few things for me ;)
[02:16] <vorbote> Jack_Sparrow, easy while in the console type "ls /home"
[02:16] <tritium> mwe: edgy, rather
[02:16] <mwe> tritium: when you typed "your user's password" it looked like "your user[0098]  password" or something
[02:16] <Jack_Sparrow> thanks
[02:16] <smXP> hey, how do i install a C compiler, i was trying to install a program but i get a error it says checking for........gcc no  for cc no, cl, no , then it says "configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH" how do i install it?
[02:16] <tritium> mwe: fun, fun :)
[02:16] <rikioh> ok can you pm some of this to me vorbote so i can write it down
[02:17] <tritium> smXP: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[02:17] <smXP> thats afte ri try to do ./configure --prefix/usr/local/
[02:17] <mwe> tritium: it didn't seem to like the '
[02:17] <smXP> tritium:  lemme try that
[02:17] <Snake> Okayyy does no one know??
[02:17] <tritium> mwe: yeah, you are right.  apostrophes on edgy hate me
[02:17] <tritium> Snake: ask in #ubuntu+1
[02:17] <Snake> ok
[02:18] <smXP> ok tritium, its doing its thing , also you know websites like download.com for windows, which ones similar but for linux? where i can see reviews, download programs, etc for linux
[02:18] <mwe> tritium: how broken is edgy anyway?
[02:18] <Jack_Sparrow> warren_: Not the Mepis Warren ?
[02:18] <Schumi2> I did it!
[02:18] <orbin> smXP: what are you compiling?
[02:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Schumi: Nice work
[02:18] <tritium> smXP: stick with ubuntu repositories for software, if you can
[02:18] <smXP> orbin:  mpio project its a program to put songs on my Mpio mp3 player
[02:18] <Schumi2> That was pretty simple.
[02:18] <tritium> mwe: just a little.
[02:19] <Schumi2> It downloaded and instlled it and poof it was in the applications list.
[02:19] <rikioh> can you please pm those commands for me so i can write them down on paper that way i can get in
[02:19] <smXP> tritium: ok but what about software thats not in the repositories
[02:19] <Jack_Sparrow> smXP: Just try to get the deb and not rpm
[02:19] <shiv> I cannot execute some scripts in my scripts folder here what am I doing wrong with this command?  sudo chmod 700 ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/*.*
[02:19] <nub_> i have a question. how do i kill the xorg process at login so i can install the nvidia closed drivers?
[02:20] <tritium> smXP: build from source, use checkinstall to build a .deb, but be sure it is not in the repos (including universe and multiverse)
[02:20] <smXP> So i should avoid tars and other things that i have to compile myself
[02:20] <vorbote> shiv, the scripts need to have the magic shell token in the first line.
[02:20] <mwe> tritium: because vital things like printing to a shared windows printer was broken until a few days before the release of dapper. I'll stay away from the test releases I think ;=)
[02:20] <shiv> vorbate: what is that?
[02:20] <tritium> smXP: anything specific you are looking for?
[02:20] <vorbote> shiv, #!/path/to/interpreter
[02:21] <nub_> i have a question. how do i kill the xorg process at login so i can install the nvidia closed drivers?
[02:21] <Jack_Sparrow> !nvidia
[02:21] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:21] <nub_> it keeps restarting itself
[02:21] <smXP> tritium: i was looking for a program similar to Sony ACID Pro i used on windows (music editing)
[02:21] <mwe> nub_: you don't need to I think. but sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop will kill X
[02:22] <Raito> For some odd reason, I don't get internet in ubuntu anymore. I had internet perfectly fine before, but then I half installed debian and half installed fedora core, since both of them failed I came back to ubuntu and to my surprise, I had no internet. I tried setting up a static ip but that didn't work either. What might have caused this?
[02:23] <mwe> Raito: do you have a weird mixed system or what?
[02:23] <Raito> mwe: I completely purged debian and Fedora Core from the thing
[02:24] <tritium> smXP: have you looked at audacity or rosegarden?
[02:24] <mwe> Raito: good
[02:24] <shiv> shiv@ubuntu:~$ sudo chmod 700 .gnome2/nautilus-scripts/*.*
[02:24] <shiv> chmod: cannot access `.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/*.*': No such file or directory
[02:24] <shiv> shiv@ubuntu:~$
[02:24] <smXP> tritium: how do u uninstall a program? i have something but i cant find them in synaptic to uncheck them
[02:24] <mwe> shiv: sudo chmod 700 .gnome2/nautilus-scripts/*
[02:25] <Raito> but what might cause me to lost internet? I should also note, that on my other computer, I fully installed debian (that worked with internet) and then when I went back to xubuntu (which worked before), I didn't have internet either
[02:25] <mwe> shiv: but you own the files so sudo is not needed
[02:25] <tritium> smXP: how was it installed?  via apt-get or synaptic?
[02:25] <smXP> synaptic
[02:25] <cappiz> someone here either atending lancaster univeristy in England or knows someone studying there?
[02:26] <wasabi_> Anybody aware of any software that can basically sit on a passive box and do network monitoring for stuff managers care about? Amount of time spent at certain web sites, per user, per computer, etc.
[02:26] <drunkmonkey> Has anyone had problems with k9copy?
[02:26] <mwe> Raito: well is it ethernet or wifi?
[02:26] <Schumi2> .. now im downloading the ATI drivers so hopefully I can run at something higher than 1024x768. Plus dual monitors would be nice
[02:26] <Raito> mwe: ethernet
[02:26] <nub_> does ubuntu support dual core cpus?
[02:26] <mwe> Raito: and a dhcp router?
[02:27] <mwe> nub_: yes
[02:27] <Raito> mwe: yes, (but I tried a static ip too) I always normally use static for portforwarding, but dhcp worked before too
[02:27] <mwe> Raito: do you see your interface with ifconfig?
[02:28] <nub_> ok, next question. do the nvidia closed drivers work alright with an amd64 system?
[02:28] <drunkmonkey> Everytime I try to use k9copy it gets to 52% and errors out.
[02:28] <Raito> mwe: yes
[02:28] <bobbyyu> I have a problem... can't access my floppies on my Kubuntu
[02:28] <mwe> Raito: what happens if you sudo dhclient eth0 or whatever the iface name is?
[02:29] <Grok_> do i need a particular switch when i run glxgears to see the fps info? (i seem to remember it sent it to the console automagically)
[02:29] <bimberi> !glxgears
[02:29] <ubotu> To display the FPS in glxgears, run 'glxgears -printfps' in a terminal.
[02:29] <Grok_> thanks
[02:29] <Sephnroth> im having problems installing apache, sudo apt-get install apache - started installing its prerequisits fine but when it got to "setting up apache" it fails with: "dpkg: error processing apache (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1"
[02:29] <wheels3572> Can anyone tell me if I can use these rules as a base to install ALL .tar.gz files?  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19443
[02:29] <Raito> mwe: Didn't try that, but I did try ifdown and ifup, and then it keeps trying to connect and then says no offers recieved, the peculiar thing is that it says 255.255.255.255
[02:30] <h3h_timo> how do you check what kernel you are running?
[02:30] <h3h_timo> !kernel
[02:30] <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
[02:30] <mwe> wheels3572: use checkinstall instead of make install
[02:30] <andrewski> h3h_timo: run 'uname -r' in a term.
[02:30] <mwe> wheels3572: it's the genral approach yes
[02:30] <h3h_timo> andrewski, thanks
[02:30] <andrewski> np
[02:30] <InvisiblePinkUni> !bugzilla
[02:30] <ubotu> I know nothing about bugzilla - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[02:30] <InvisiblePinkUni> !testopia
[02:30] <ubotu> I know nothing about testopia - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[02:30] <andrewski> InvisiblePinkUni: try launchpad ;)
[02:31] <Sephnroth> anyone know what might be causing this problem?
[02:31] <andrewski> can anyone help with a network/dhcp question?
[02:31] <mwe> Raito: try it and paste your interfaces file if you can
[02:31] <InvisiblePinkUni> andrewski: ok... i'm trying to instal bugzilla on my system
[02:31] <drunkmonkey> can anyone help me with k9copy?
[02:31] <smXP> hey u know the workspaces....how do they work, does it just minimize everything and start a "new session" or is it really a Different workspace?
[02:31] <andrewski> InvisiblePinkUni: oh.
[02:31] <wheels3572> mwe can you paste back what your talking about in pastebin that way I can see for sure please?
[02:31] <andrewski> InvisiblePinkUni: so you can run a bugtracker or report bugs on ubuntu?
[02:32] <mwe> wheels3572: just type sudo checkinstall instead of make install
[02:32] <andrewski> smXP: technical details or end result?
[02:32] <InvisiblePinkUni> andrewski: no.... just for some other project... :)
[02:32] <wheels3572> me
[02:32] <mwe> wheels3572: install checkinstall first though
[02:32] <smXP> andrewski: something in english :D
[02:32] <InvisiblePinkUni> andrewski: yes... to run my own bugtracker.... :)
[02:32] <mwe> wheels3572: make install wont work as user either, usually
[02:32] <Raito> mwe: But I kinda want it to work with a static ip, I set it up in /etc/network/interfaces, but I am in windows now and don't want to boot in ubuntu
[02:32] <nikin> hy
[02:33] <andrewski> smXP: you maintain different workspaces on which you can put different groups of windows.  e.g. you can have internet and techy stuff on one window, music stuff on another, work/school stuff on another, etc.
[02:33] <wheels3572> mwe can you paste in pastebin the exact set of instructions that your talking about please soI can see?
[02:33] <nikin> !irssi
[02:33] <ubotu> IRSSI is a command line interface IRC application ( "sudo apt-get install irssi" without the quotes to try it out )
[02:33] <mwe> wheels3572: it would be sudo make install. but as I said use sudo checkinstall so you can easily remove it later
[02:33] <wheels3572> ok
[02:33] <andrewski> smXP: it's basically having four different monitors, but only looking at one at a time.
[02:33] <mwe> wheels3572: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19444
[02:33] <smXP> andrewski: yeah, but does it minimize all the windows in workspace 1 and hide them, and when i open workspace 2 it shows new windows and then hides them and opens the hidden ones from workspace 1?
[02:34] <andrewski> smXP: why does that matter?
[02:34] <smXP> andrewski: can i install that feature where if i drag a window off the monitor it goes into the 2nd workspace?
[02:34] <andrewski> smXP: i think so, but i'm not sure.  you'd have to talk to window manager developers about that, i think.
[02:34] <andrewski> smXP: i think that's an option for metacity?
[02:34] <smXP> what am i running on a default ubutu 6.06 installation
[02:35] <nikin> how to change workspace with keyboard shortcut?
[02:35] <wheels3572> mwe, ok ty what if I already have build essiantials installed?
[02:35] <andrewski> smXP: sorry, metacity is GNOME's default window manager.
[02:35] <mwe> wheels3572: then don't install it again ;)
[02:35] <orbin> nikin: ctrl+alt+left/right
[02:35] <wheels3572> ok lol
[02:35] <steve> hi, got a quesiton about OOo Impress.  Is there a way to make each bullet point appear on a mouse click?
[02:35] <andrewski> smXP: good question, i'm not seeing it here.
[02:36] <steve> (and after the bulletpoints have been iterated through, then the next mouse click advances the slide)
[02:36] <smXP> andrewski:  so right now i am using metacity?
[02:36] <andrewski> smXP: yes
[02:36] <macd> is there any kuake like console for gnome that doesnt need kdelibs?
[02:36] <wheels3572> mwe, Also can I use these same instructions just change the file name obviously?
[02:36] <mwe> wheels3572: many programs require additional libraries to compile though
[02:36] <smXP> andrewski: nice, what is GDE 1 and 2?are those KDE default managers?
[02:36] <mwe> wheels3572: always look for a .deb first
[02:36] <wheels3572> oh ok
[02:36] <wheels3572> I am an absolute newbie :)
[02:36] <andrewski> smXP: i'm not sure it's available, but it may be.  i dunno about GDE; do you mean GDM or GTK?
[02:36] <smXP> ok i have to go be back later thanks for info andrewski  :)
[02:36] <andrewski> smXP: g'luck
[02:37] <rikioh> ok so when i boot into the console mode what is it commands do i use again? to figure out my username and password
[02:37] <mwe> wheels3572: many programs are availble if you enable universe and multiverse
[02:37] <rikioh> or change my password or whatever
[02:37] <wheels3572> I have :)
[02:37] <smXP> andrewski: on gnome-look.org they have other categories except metacity...like GDM i believe it is, you can check there, there themes for GDM too i dont know waht it is bye..
[02:37] <profoX`> how do i mount a dvd thats mounted by samba?
[02:37] <tang^> I have a system with an onboard nic. said nic seems to be shutting itself down at random times. took a day or so with server installed, lasted about fifteen minutes on desktop, but also came back up right away since I was running stuff on desktop
[02:37] <profoX`> i mean, how do i play it :)
[02:37] <tang^> is there anything I can look at to see why the nic is behaving this way?
[02:37] <Recks> how do you install an .rpm on ubuntu?

[02:38] <Recks> lol
[02:38] <Nuked> profox how?
[02:38] <andrewski> Willys_fuegu: #ubuntu-es ?
[02:38] <andrewski> !es
[02:38] <mwe> wheels3572: yes
[02:38] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[02:38] <mwe> wheels3572: gftp maybe
[02:38] <macd> orbin, yeah ditto I apt-cachched already ;)

[02:38] <andrewski> Willys_fuegu: oh, ok.  :)

[02:38] <Grok_> i seem to get alot of distortion (lines through icons etc) when i run Google Earth (also you can see "ATI Proprietary Linux Driver" bleeding through) also noticed same distortion issues with scorched 3d but not issues whatsoever with Tremulous. Is this possibly an outdate driver issue or maybe "crappy laptop video card" issue. (ati 320m) or...?
[02:39] <SoundLess> my computer has no sound
[02:39] <wheels3572> mwe, nevermind I figured it out I had it typed wrong lol
[02:39] <ryanakca> rikioh: same ones as ubuntu
[02:39] <SoundLess> is it possible to undo the latest update that i have done, it only malfunct when i updated it
[02:39] <rikioh> ryanakca im new to linux as it is i have no clue what that would be
[02:39] <Recks> how do I use alien to convert a .rpm
[02:40] <mwe> SoundLess: usually dpkg -P thepackage will clean it
[02:40] <ryanakca> rikioh: ah, ok... #kubuntu is the channel for kubuntu questions, btw, in the future, but
[02:40] <lumgwada> anyone know off the top of their head the command to sync to a ntp server?
[02:40] <mwe> Recks: sudo alien foo.rpm
[02:40] <ryanakca> rikioh: you forget your username or what?
[02:40] <wheels3572> 2nd question for anyone that MIGHt be able to help me.  I have a bcm43xx chipset is there anyway I can get this thing to run?
[02:40] <vorbote> Grok_, try using the latest wine build. Add this to your /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/ dapper main
[02:40] <profoX`> Nuked: ? did it work
[02:40] <Willys_fuegu> i have an ati radeon 9250 videocard and i cant install ubuntu (x server error while loading) can someone help me?
[02:40] <ryanakca> rikioh: to reset your password, you go "passwd username"
[02:40] <rikioh> well i just installed it for the first time ryan
[02:41] <profoX`> Nuked: msg NickServ set password new-password (i think)
[02:41] <andrewski> profoX`!!!1
[02:41] <rikioh> ok ryan and whats the command to figure out my username
[02:41] <tang^> lumgwada: ntpdate servername
[02:41] <profoX`> andrewski: !!hello
[02:41] <Grok_> vorbote, i'm using google earth for linux. isn't it running natively?
[02:41] <lumgwada> tang^:cheers
[02:41] <ryanakca> rikioh: are you logged into X?
[02:42] <nikin>  msg nickserv help lists the commands
[02:42] <rikioh> im trying to boot it up and it asks me for username and pass but i dont remember setting them during install
[02:42] <vorbote> Grok_, no. It uses wine internally. If you install a system wide wine it may catch that one instead of the bundled one.
[02:42] <rikioh> so i need to go in thru restore mode and change them or figure them out
[02:42] <vorbote> (It is a wild guess).
[02:42] <wheels3572> mwe, do you know if axyftp is in the repos?
[02:42] <Grok_> vorbote, ahh thank you very much.
[02:42] <Recks> What would I use to convert a .rpm so I can install it?
[02:43] <scrappy__> Recks: alien
[02:43] <wheels3572> Recks, You would use a program called Alien
[02:43] <mwe> !info axyftp
[02:43] <ubotu> Package axyftp does not exist in dapper
[02:43] <Nuked> how do I unreg the nick?
[02:43] <Recks> is it in the add/remove or do I have to download it?
[02:43] <mwe> wheels3572: it's not
[02:43] <ryanakca> rikioh: I forget what the default is... just a second... you could look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com
[02:43] <mwe> hmm is ntpdate not run at boot by default in dapper?
[02:43] <Raito> For some odd reason, I don't get internet in ubuntu anymore. I had internet perfectly fine before, but then I half installed debian and half installed fedora core, since both of them failed I came back to ubuntu and to my surprise, I had no internet. I tried setting up a static ip but that didn't work either. What might have caused this?
[02:44] <scrappy__> Recks: its in main you can apt-get it
[02:44] <Recks> kk sudo apt-get alien?
[02:44] <Grok_> vorbote, apt-get update wine now?
[02:44] <scrappy__> Recks: should work
[02:44] <ryanakca> Raito: is your ethernet card dead?
[02:44] <wheels3572> Recks, apt-get install alien
[02:44] <Recks> kk thx
[02:44] <Raito> ryanakca: What does that mean? I don't think so, it works right now in windows
[02:45] <ryanakca> Raito: kk... I had fried a network card in the past... wondering if that might be what had happened to you
[02:45] <Atomic_UE> I'm just going through https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixAmavisNew and in the section Postfix Integration, subsection Add Content Filter, it says "On ubuntu server on 64 bit systems...". I'm assuming 32 bit systems are to skip that step?
[02:46] <morphy> any one tried NASA Maestro?
[02:46] <morphy> after installing many applications and their dep using synaptic, if i reinstalled the whole system is there a way to reinstall my packages without downloading them again from the net?
[02:46] <rikioh> well i guess im just gonna try passwd username and change my password and hope that my username is ubuntu
[02:46] <rikioh> cuz i cant find anything in the wiki

[02:50] <vorbote> I'll be around
[02:51] <Willys_fuegu> loads everything ok but fails to load x server
[02:51] <morphy> localy
[02:51] <bur[n] er> morphy: dpkg does not... but an apt-get -f install afterwards should take care of anything
[02:51] <BHSPitMonkey> Willys_fuegu, join #ubuntu-es
[02:51] <bur[n] er> morphy: there may be an apt-get option to use cached packages too
[02:51] <Willys_fuegu> i enter to xorg.conf file but it doent say nothing
[02:52] <Willys_fuegu> no entienden ke nadie responde??
[02:52] <Recks> hmm okay I got alien
[02:52] <BHSPitMonkey> Willys_fuegu, /join #ubuntu-es
[02:52] <Recks> so how would I go about installing the .rpm?
[02:52] <Recks> or do I convert it somehow?
[02:52] <tritium> Recks: what are you installing?
[02:52] <Recks> Winamp
[02:52] <Willys_fuegu> NO ONE RESPOND ON #UBUNTU-ES
[02:52] <tritium> !caps
[02:52] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.

[02:53] <orbin> Willys_fuegu: have you instaeed the system?
[02:53] <orbin> installed even
[02:53] <BHSPitMonkey> Recks, alien -d nameoffile.rpm
[02:53] <vorbote> Willys_fuegu, it is because you need to register with freenode before you can post.
[02:53] <Recks> kk
[02:53] <Willys_fuegu> oks.
[02:53] <Recks> BHSPitMonkey: Thank you ^_^
[02:53] <Kynetix> someone can help me with partition problems???
[02:53] <BHSPitMonkey> Recks, that converts it to a deb, but doesn't install it
[02:53] <vorbote> Willys_fuegu, that measure had to be taken due to several antisocial people who tried to subvert the channel
[02:54] <warren_> porque necesita placticar en espanol?
[02:54] <BHSPitMonkey> Recks, sorry, it's "sudo alien -d whatever.rpm" (requires root)
[02:54] <Recks> yea
[02:54] <Recks> I figured that out ;-)
[02:54] <Willys_fuegu> ubotu: sorry but i said that no one responds in spanish irc channels, and people keep telling me to join those channels
[02:54] <ubotu> I know nothing about sorry but i said that no one responds in spanish irc channels, and people keep telling me to join those channels - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu

[02:57] <wheels3572> How do you uninstall a file from the system if I dont want that program can it be done via cli?
[02:57] <BHSPitMonkey> Recks, what does winamp at a terminal do?
[02:57] <Jack_Sparrow> wheels3572: depends on how you installed it

[02:59] <m_tadeu> hi everyone

[02:59] <m_tadeu> how can I set a second user as superuser?
[02:59] <geokok> hi!Question about Beagle. I have set it to scan home folder and "\" which I guess is everything. However hidden files are not indexed. Any tips?
[03:00] <tritium> Recks: there are winamp alternatives for linux that are quite good.
[03:00] <Bonez> hi i'm trying to log into the CUPS web interface but none of my passwords will work, root, user etc. can anyone help?

[03:01] <Recks> for some reason it is winamp.exe
[03:01] <isede> where can i get latest xchat binaries for ubuntu"?
[03:01] <geokok> "locate" command finds all the files unlike beagle though
[03:01] <anonymeeee> my password isn't working with the su command
[03:01] <jahshua> maybe i need to sudo dpkg-reconfigure the the X ? but i dont know the command for this... if anyone knows it?
[03:01] <anonymeeee> at the terminal prompt
[03:01] <orbin> Olathe: just different desktop environments

[03:03] <Jack_Sparrow> m_tadeu: or gksudo for gui
[03:03] <BHSPitMonkey> why exec?
[03:03] <Recks> I dunno
[03:03] <Recks> lol what's the terminal command to launch an app
[03:03] <scrappy__> Recks: youre in the directory of the app?
[03:03] <Recks> I don't know terminal commands all that well and yes
[03:03] <BHSPitMonkey> ... the app's name
[03:03] <wheels3572> Jack_Sparrow, do you know of ANY real sure way to get a bcm43xx card to work?
[03:03] <scrappy__> Recks: ./Winamp
[03:03] <Recks> kk lol
[03:03] <jahshua> can anyone tell me the command to reconfigure X ... sudo dpkg-reconfigure ... something?
[03:04] <cius> jahshua, xserver-xorg
[03:04] <jahshua> ok
[03:04] <Jack_Sparrow> wheels3572:  ndiswrapper and
[03:04] <BHSPitMonkey> Recks, it's an exe? ... I'm confused
[03:04] <jahshua> and will that give me a new xorg.conf cius?
[03:04] <Jack_Sparrow> !broadcom > wheels3572
[03:04] <Recks> there is an exe in there lol
[03:04] <cius> Recks, you have Wine, right?
[03:04] <Recks> yes
[03:04] <m_tadeu> Jack_Sparrow: the problem is, as a secondary user I don't get permissions to sudo
[03:04] <cius> type wine winamp, iirc
[03:04] <Sephnroth> is there a way to make a samba user some sort of power user? i have my apache's webroot shared across the network so I can just drop files in as im working on them but it wont let me create new files, access denied every time - im not sure that going to my server and doing a chmod 777 is the best solution
[03:04] <khaled_> Jack_Sparrow: yea, but what if i want more than one language
[03:05] <ericz> has anyone ever tried setting up knockd (port knocking) on ubuntu dapper before? i remember being able to get it going on breezy, but with dapper, it's just not happening
[03:05] <orbin> jahshua: yes, so you might want to back it up
[03:05] <scrappy__> ericz: if you do get it setup maybe update wiki
[03:05] <jahshua> thanks a lot cius
[03:05] <cius> jahshua, np

[03:05] <Schumi2> oh this tetris clone is nice
[03:05] <ericz> scrappy__: if i can get it working, it's not doing anything for me
[03:05] <Jack_Sparrow> m_tadeu: It doesent just ask for "His" password?
[03:05] <wheels3572> Jack_Sparrow, ty for the doc on wifi :)
[03:06] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[03:06] <Kynetix> i have a problem with a prtition
[03:06] <BHSPitMonkey> Recks, where did you get the .rpm?

[03:06] <jahshua> ahhh crap
[03:06] <jahshua> cius:

[03:07] <nikin> did anyone try Enemy Territory on ubuntu?
[03:07] <Recks> ...
[03:08] <StryksGone> Leaving Reason..::auto away after 60 minutes of inactivity::.. Pager..::on [/ctcp StryksGone page <message>] ::.. Time is now: 9:08pm .UPP.
[03:08] <cius> nikin, works great
[03:08] <jahshua> cius: if i look at my xorg.conf now where should i be able to see what it has for my x server driver?
[03:08] <scrappy__> Recks: what do you want winamp for? you can prob find a native app to work
[03:08] <cius> all id's games do
[03:08] <orbin> Kynetix: you need to add some options to that: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions#head-2a64a964ff8833576586c7216a1199f022c505a6
[03:08] <Recks> I need it so I can see the list of shoutcast internet video streams
[03:08] <cius> jahshua, you mean your video driver?
[03:08] <jahshua> ye
[03:08] <Kynetix> itry
[03:08] <jahshua> is it under the module section?
[03:09] <Recks> I haven't been able to find them anywhere on the net =-/ and I don't know an app that can query the winamp servers to find the .nsv streams
[03:09] <orbin> !away > StryksGone
[03:09] <jahshua> oh
[03:09] <jahshua> nm
[03:09] <jahshua> i got it :)
[03:09] <nikin> cius: hope it works by me to.. is its performance difer from the performance under Win?
[03:09] <BHSPitMonkey> Recks, still having trouble?
[03:09] <Recks> yea
[03:09] <cius> nikin, not much different, no
[03:09] <Recks> lol I'mma go eat
[03:09] <Recks> so I'll deal with it a bit later
[03:09] <BHSPitMonkey> try typing "file Winamp.exe"
[03:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Kynetix: /dev/sda4 /media/sda4 vfat rw,user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 0 0  here is mine
[03:10] <BHSPitMonkey> inside that directory where it's at
[03:10] <nikin> cius: thats great... then i start downloading :D
[03:10] <tritium> Recks: you're not trying to use a windows .exe file, are you?
[03:10] <nikin> any experiences with lincity-NG? its lagging by me like hell
[03:11] <BHSPitMonkey> tritium, supposedly it got placed there by an rpm (converted with alien)
[03:11] <Jack_Sparrow> winecfg
[03:11] <joi> anyone knows a quick way to output all strings in a file with a certain length?
[03:11] <BHSPitMonkey> you have strange taste in output
[03:12] <cius> nikin, all of id software's games run on linux natively, as do some others (Unreal Tournament, Neverwinter Nights, etc) and if we want more companies to support linux, we need to demonstrate that there is support for native games in the community, so play away, and tell your linux using friends about it too.
[03:12] <nikin> cius: i will, but i have not many friends using linux :(
[03:13] <ericz> nobody here has made knockd work on dapper?
[03:13] <cius> nikin, well, I guess I won't hold that against them :-)
[03:13] <ericz> i used to get knockd working on breezy in minutes, i've been trying for hours with dapper, and i'm getting nowhere, it should be extremely simple, it's just the daemon and the like 10 line config file :/
[03:13] <BHSPitMonkey> I need to make a modified Ubuntu desktop install CD with a few packages added in. Any ideas on how this might be possible?
[03:13] <nikin> is there a way to configure irssi so that it dont show the entering and the leaving messages?
[03:14] <Sephnroth> is chmod 777 really the best solution to "unable to create file, access denied" when copying or creating new files/folders across the network to a samba share?
[03:14] <BHSPitMonkey> maybe a vm installation in conjuntion with bootcd?
[03:14] <cius> nikin, yes
[03:14] <cius> type "/ignore" in your status window and it will tell you all about it
[03:14] <Jack_Sparrow> ericz: http://packages.ubuntu.com/warty/net/knockd  DID YOU READ THIS
[03:14] <cius> the groups you want are JOINS and QUITS
[03:14] <Jack_Sparrow> ericz: Sorry for the caps
[03:15] <cius> I had a bit of trouble actually getting it to work at first, but now I'm joina dn quit free!
[03:15] <cius> join and quit*
[03:15] <ericz> Jack_Sparrow, what about it, just the package information?
[03:16] <Jack_Sparrow> and the related packages.
[03:16] <Kynetix> Jack_Sparrow, /dev/hda3 /media/FossaDati   vfat   user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000   0   0  don't function
[03:16] <Jack_Sparrow> I dont use it...
[03:16] <[cro] smiley>  i need someone to test bed package of my app on ubuntu: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=170378
[03:16] <[cro] smiley> 
[03:16] <Schumi2> Geometris score- 36020
[03:16] <[cro] smiley> *deb package
[03:16] <Jack_Sparrow> Kynetix: that is why I suggested the script... which you ignored
[03:17] <Kynetix> Jack_Sparrow, sorry isee later
[03:17] <stevekl> I'm having trouble selecting DVD menu options in VLC- anyone have the same problem?
[03:17] <Kynetix> Jack_Sparrow, just now works;)
[03:17] <Kynetix> Jack_Sparrow, thanks a lot
[03:17] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[03:18] <mdirc> Is there some security setting in the default installation of ubuntu 6.0.6 that disables wan computers from accessing remote desktop or port forwarding?
[03:19] <nikin> cius : thx
[03:19] <cius> nikin, np
[03:19] <vorbote> mdirc, none of those services are enabled in a pristine install.
[03:20] <scrappy__> mdirc: i dont think there are any iptable rules at all set but accept to inbound outbound and forward
[03:20] <Jack_Sparrow> mdirc: Firestarter to manage firewall settings/iptables
[03:20] <Jack_Sparrow> or guradddog
[03:20] <Jack_Sparrow> guarddog
[03:20] <Schumi2> so I'm downloading the ATI drivers for video... anyone know what will happen after they install?
[03:21] <mdirc> vorbote: I enabled remote desktop from the System->Preferences menu, do I need to do anything else to allow computers from the Wan access it
[03:21] <Schumi2> What all changes?
[03:21] <Jack_Sparrow> !ati
[03:21] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:21] <scrappy__> Schumi2: with ati theres no telling ;-p
[03:21] <vorbote> mdirc, you need to open the ports in your hardware firewall (assuming you are behind an ADSL or Cable modem/router).
[03:22] <UbuntuJulez> hi
[03:22] <Schumi2> im using Synaptic to download the drivers... not the terminal way that pages says. Is there a difference?
[03:22] <Jack_Sparrow> Schumi2: They write those help pages for a reason...
[03:23] <mdirc> the remote machine is behind a firewall, but I can ssh into it, so I have setup local port forwarding from a win xp machine, adn the port forwarding works. I tested using nc and telnet on my local machine.
[03:23] <UbuntuJulez> is the concept of "File extensions" something that most linux distros don't really use by default?
[03:23] <scrappy__> UbuntuJulez: theyre kind of arbitrary
[03:23] <scrappy__> UbuntuJulez: sometimes
[03:23] <mdirc> but the vncviewer just keeps saying that the server refused the connection, so either it is not port 5900 that the service is listening to, or the service does not allow
[03:24] <mdirc> Wan connection
[03:24] <Schumi2> my connection download at a brisk pace of 3.2KB/s so I have a few minutes left on this download...
[03:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Schumi2: give it a try..
[03:24] <UbuntuJulez> okay, just wondered..is there a default file extension for text files created in "text editor?"
[03:24] <vorbote> mdirc, if I understood correctly the vnc server is the remote machine?
[03:24] <azrael0> UbuntuJulez: Whatever you happen to feel like at the moment?
[03:25] <rhyddin> jack question: jack server starts up fine, hydrogen (drum app) connects to jack and 'plays' (i see the patterns being run and the 'lights' show things are being processed) but there is no sound comin outta my speakers. Any idea what could be the issue?
[03:25] <UbuntuJulez> so if i want to use .txt ...that would be okay?
[03:25] <mdirc> yes the vnc server is the ubuntu server 6.0.6
[03:25] <scrappy__> mdirc: i dont know how you setup vnc but on my solaris box it when one user starts it will listen at 5901 and the next user 5902 not sure how ubuntu installs it or if binaries are diff though
[03:26] <ericz> scrappy__: it was you who wanted info on knockd right? i got it working
[03:26] <nikin> ubuntujulez yes
[03:26] <yuheng108> sariixrpog iigi
[03:26] <yuheng108> gyyuyghutf
[03:26] <nikin> UbuntuJulez, do you want your files to be windows compatible?
[03:26] <scrappy__> ericz: some kind of documentation would be good ive had a few friends who use ubuntu ask me about it
[03:27] <UbuntuJulez> i suppose, sometimes i send files to people in email and they complain that there isnt' a file extension
[03:27] <UbuntuJulez> i guess i never noticed
[03:27] <rhyddin> so is the ubuntu sound guru out to lunch?
[03:27] <UbuntuJulez> !democracy
[03:27] <ubotu> I know nothing about democracy - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[03:27] <vorbote> mdirc, and you are trying to access the vnc session from a different machine? Then you need to forward the remote port to a local port (not necessarilu 5900 on the local side) and connect to localhost.
[03:27] <scrappy__> ericz: was it a simple problem?
[03:27] <jahshua> ok
[03:27] <nikin> UbuntuJulez... i think that depend on editor, but you can allways manualy write .txt on the end of the file name
[03:27] <UbuntuJulez> !weapons of mass destruction
[03:27] <ubotu> I know nothing about weapons of mass destruction - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[03:27] <ericz> scrappy__, yeah, sort of, the tcpflags thing in the configuration file was confusing me :/

[03:29] <mdirc> scrappy__ : so how would you do port forwarding when the port is different every time you connect
[03:29] <UbuntuJulez> okay..okay i'm kidding
[03:29] <scrappy__> ericz: ok so if they have a problem ill just look superior and tell them to check the tcpflags :)
[03:29] <orbin> jahshua: what happens exactly? do you get dumped to console?
[03:29] <ericz> scrappy__, sounds good! :)
[03:29] <rhyddin> uh, yeah .. i think they need to have a bit more info dumped into their brains
[03:29] <UbuntuJulez> i attend oregon state university and we host a majority of linux distros on our server, we just started hosting the democracy player but i can't get it to install on ubuntu
[03:29] <vorbote> mdirc, in that case you would be better off using a full fledged VPN.
[03:30] <jahshua> orbin yes
[03:30] <nikin> ardchoille a bot i like man, some fun stuff would be nice, and trying out them is fun. but that is my opinion :D
[03:30] <mdirc> I am running on full vpn
[03:30] <orbin> jahshua: do you get erros in /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
[03:30] <orbin> *errors
[03:30] <jahshua> orbin ye
[03:30] <joemauch> has anyone had trouble running XGL with the latest ATi drivers? 8.27.10
[03:30] <UbuntuJulez> !XGL
[03:30] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[03:31] <mdirc> but I am unable to connect vncviewer over vpn so I was looking at port forwarding
[03:31] <klees> is there a sports ticker i can install???
[03:31] <scrappy__> mdirc: well i setup a script in init.d to do like su usename -C "vncserver :1" thats not it i forget what it looks like but that tells it what port to use
[03:32] <orbin> jahshua: grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log ... don't paste them if they're > 4 lines ... what do you think is the most relevant one?
[03:32] <scrappy__> mdirc: maybe just forward 5900-5910 depending on how many users you have
[03:33] <Schumi> OK i finished the Synaptic download of the ATI driver and now I can't find waht it changed
[03:33] <jahshua> orbin: it just says cannot open device /dev/wacom
[03:33] <BHSPitMonkey> I need to make a modified Ubuntu desktop install CD with a few packages added in. Any ideas on how this might be possible?
[03:33] <scrappy__> Schumi: you need to reboot or alt-ctrl-bkspace for it to take affect
[03:34] <Evil_Ed`> Hello
[03:34] <orbin> jahshua: that relates to wireless afaik.  i have that too
[03:35] <jahshua> orbin is there anything i can do to reconfigure my curor ?
[03:35] <jahshua> cursor?
[03:35] <jahshua> because thats where the problem came from im sure
[03:35] <suzie_fox> i just accidently  "rm -rf /" as root....i cancelled it as soon as i could, but it still screwed stuff up. any possible way i can fix the problem without a reinstall?
[03:35] <cius> orbin, jahshua, wacom makes tablets and such, I don't think that has anything to do with wireless network connectivity
[03:35] <orbin> jahshua: i don't know what artwiz is ... or for that matter what chaning cursors does
[03:35] <jahshua> ok
[03:35] <orbin> cius: ah, ok.  thanks.
[03:36] <orbin> jahshua: what did the install involve?
[03:36] <StoneColdSteve> join #gaim on irc.freenode.net
[03:36] <hazey> how do burn DVD and CD on Dapper?
[03:37] <jahshua> cius: do you have any ideas?
[03:37] <cius> jahshua, one sec, reading back to see what you metnioned that I missed
[03:37] <jahshua> ok thanks cius
[03:37] <rikioh> ok so ubuntu starts to load the bar fills all the way up the screen blinks black then the bars empty again and its like frozen it does nothing.... but if i hit ctr.alt.delete it says quitting a whole bunch then reboots
[03:37] <rikioh> so its not frozen
[03:37] <rikioh> but its not doing anything either
[03:38] <Schumi> I think I have to download the ATI control panel to get some options...
[03:38] <UbuntuJulez> how do you place a "trash" icon on the desktop in Gnome?
[03:38] <jahshua> cius: basically it was all fine, i tried to install artwiz fonts and the artwiz cursor, then it gavem e an error about the cursor, i rebooted and it wont start GDM/X now.. the error mentions something about cursor font..
[03:39] <suzie_fox> probably just make a shortcut to the url trash:/
[03:39] <whozatmac> The only way I ever managed was $ln -s .Trash Desktop/Trash
[03:39] <UbuntuJulez> tried that, did not work
[03:39] <orbin> UbuntuJulez: use gtweakui or find the gconf key
[03:39] <jahshua> i have tried reconfigure xserver
[03:39] <UbuntuJulez> will try that one, Whoza
[03:39] <suzie_fox> man, i wish my trash even worked right now >.>
[03:39] <ardchoille> whozatmac: There's actually a key in gconf that you can set to get the trashcan on the desktop
[03:39] <suzie_fox> i seriously screwed up and i don't wana have to bother to reinstall
[03:39] <cius> jahshua, let me guess, you didn't back up xorg.conf before trying to install those?
[03:39] <klees> anyone know of a sports ticker??
[03:39] <whozatmac> ardchoille I think I really need to explore this gconf key concept
[03:39] <klees> ticker applet for gnome
[03:40] <whozatmac> I'm still hacking my gnome like it's 1999
[03:40] <jahshua> cius: correct
[03:40] <hazey> UbuntuJulez: hello sweetheart
[03:40] <rc> can anyone tell me where (in what dir) ubuntu dapper stores downloaded packages?
[03:40] <hazey> UbuntuJulez: right click
[03:40] <UbuntuJulez> whoza , that didtn work
[03:40] <cius> jahshua, :-) let this be a lesson, always backup important files like that
[03:40] <jahshua> cius: at this stage i have rm -rf the old xorg.conf and redid a new one
[03:40] <step> we lost power, and when my comp rebooted my resolution got stuck at 480 by 640!
[03:40] <jahshua> it still wont work
[03:40] <step> How do I change it?
[03:40] <cius> jahshua, have you tried removing the packages you installed?
[03:40] <rc> or perhaps point me to a howto or faq for making an update cd for a offline install
[03:40] <whozatmac> UbuntuJulez: what did it say?
[03:41] <jahshua> hm
[03:41] <UbuntuJulez> the shortcut that was created was bad
[03:41] <jahshua> no
[03:41] <jahshua> heh
[03:41] <hazey> how do burn DVD and CD on Dapper?
[03:41] <whozatmac> oh, sorry means I gave the syntax backwards
[03:41] <whozatmac> reverse .Trash and desktop/Trash
[03:41] <overy> i just bought a new cpu (celeron d 325) and now when i try to install linux it always hangs at "Uncompressing Linux... 0k, booting the kernel"... i've tried some suggestions from ubuntuforums but nothing seems to help... can anyone give me some ideas what else to try?
[03:41] <jahshua> damn what would the command be because i cant recall what the artwiz was called exactly
[03:41] <whozatmac> and make sure you're in ~/
[03:41] <cius> I would try that, see if you can somehow get whatever it is that might be messing with your  setup out
[03:41] <scrappy__> hazey: id install k3b
[03:41] <cius> jahshua, that could be a problem
[03:41] <nikin> cius: i downloaded the file, how to install it?
[03:42] <scrappy__> hazey: its alot like nero
[03:42] <whozatmac> rc:/var/cache/apt/packages
[03:42] <nikin> cius: i mean Enemy Territoy
[03:42] <cius> nikin, you mean enemy territory?
[03:42] <cius> ah
[03:42] <cius> ok
[03:42] <cius> one sec
[03:42] <whozatmac> overy: did you move your drive over from another computer with ubuntu installed?
[03:42] <UbuntuJulez> julien@julienIX01:~$ ln -s Desktop/Trash .Trash
[03:42] <UbuntuJulez> ln: creating symbolic link `.Trash/Trash' to `Desktop/Trash': File exists
[03:42] <overy> whozatmac: im trying to install a new version
[03:43] <cius> nikin, http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/linux/et/
[03:43] <cius> read that
[03:43] <suzie_fox> so, anyone know of any programs that can help me restore my missing files?
[03:43] <scrappy__> suzie_fox: maybe a dist-upgrade :)
[03:43] <overy> whozatmac: although i did try to boot my old ubuntu install and it hangs in the same spot
[03:43] <WarOfAttrition> suzie_fox, spinrite
[03:44] <hazey> scrappy__: gnomebacker as good as k3b?
[03:44] <prophet_> can someone help me stup my firewall something m ight be having issues going through
[03:44] <overy> and i also tried fedora core 3 and it fails at the same spot
[03:44] <cius> nikin, after you read that, to be aware of potential problems, read this http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/linux/q3a/
[03:44] <scrappy__> hazey: not really
[03:44] <cius> it tells you how to install
[03:44] <scrappy__> hazey: but it will work fine
[03:44] <Sephnroth> i cant make apache2 work, only apache 1.3 seems to start - when I apt-get install apache2, wait for it to finish and then /etc/init.d/apache2 start it doesnt give me any output at all, no errors no nothing
[03:44] <hazey> scrappy__: what cant gnombaker do that k3b can?
[03:44] <orbin> UbuntuJulez: alt+f2, then run gconf-editor ... navigate to apps/nautilus/desktop and find the trash icon key
[03:45] <hazey> scrappy__: what can k3b do that gnomebaker cannot?
[03:45] <suzie_fox> i'd hate to be a bother, but can someone get me the website for spinrite? with IP instead of hostname
[03:45] <scrappy__> hazey: well for one theres no trumpet after a cd is burned.. to be honest it been like two years since i use gnomebaker maybe its better now
[03:45] <Rudy507> Hey all... anyone have any idea where the fonts for ubuntu are installed?
[03:45] <jahshua> if i want to look at my packages installed
[03:45] <jahshua> where are they?
[03:45] <WarOfAttrition> is there any way to install ubuntu on a sata 2 drive, or anyone know of another linux distribution that will work?
[03:45] <whozatmac> ubuntujulez: OK, i redid that Iand see the problem, you need to give real paths to ln
[03:45] <cius> hazey, last I tried gnomebaker, it was horribly buggy, k3b is tops though
[03:45] <Rudy507> I'm running Dapper
[03:46] <whozatmac> mack@ubuntu:~$ ln -s /home/mack/.Trash/ /home/mack/Desktop/Trash
[03:46] <jahshua> Rudy507: i have the same question
[03:46] <jahshua> heh
[03:46] <UbuntuJulez> thanks orbin!! that worked
[03:46] <UbuntuJulez> thanks for tryin whoza
[03:46] <whozatmac> of course replace with you home dir full path not mine
[03:46] <Rudy507> lol jahshua
[03:46] <orbin> Rudy507, jahshua : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto
[03:46] <jahshua> orbin: i cant look at that right now
[03:46] <jahshua> no X
[03:46] <Sephnroth> at this rate im going to be stuck with apache 1.3
[03:47] <Sephnroth> which wouldnt be the end of the world but i would rather be upto date
[03:47] <cius> jahshua, there is a .fonts dir in your home dir
[03:47] <jahshua> i just need to know where packages are installed on ubuntu
[03:47] <jahshua> so i can identify a package i need to remove
[03:47] <interfear> do i want to install 64bit or 32bit if i hope to be running enlightenment? i have a 4400 amd 64 x2...
[03:47] <orbin> Rudy507: jahshua: "There are various locations in GNU/Linux in which fonts can be kept. These locations are defined in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf; standard ones include /usr/share/fonts, /usr/local/share/fonts, and /home/<username>/.fonts (where <username> is your user name)."
[03:47] <whozatmac> hm the gconf way is better
[03:47] <scrappy__> dpkg -l or /var/apt/archives i think
[03:47] <hazey> i installed clamav, but its telling me:  dependency problems - leaving unconfigured!  Any solutions?
[03:48] <rc> can anyone tell me where (in what dir) ubuntu dapper stores downloaded packages?
[03:48] <Rudy507> thanks orbin for the link and for that... appreciate it
[03:48] <UbuntuJulez> doesn't ubuntu have a "changing desktop" command?
[03:48] <scrappy__> jahshua: /var/cache/apt/archives
[03:48] <orbin> Rudy507: yw
[03:48] <UbuntuJulez> <to make your wallpaper either be random each time you log in or have it change while you're using it >
[03:48] <Rudy507> doesn't look like any fonts are in my home dir, so checking /usr/local/share now
[03:48] <WarOfAttrition> is there any way to install ubuntu on a sata 2 drive, or anyone know of another linux distribution that will work?
[03:48] <ernst> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0" ----> Now what!
[03:48] <ernst> !nvidia
[03:49] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:49] <jahshua> thanks scrappy__
[03:49] <jahshua> so is sudo dpkg-deinstall correct?
[03:49] <orbin> UbuntuJulez: maybe try wallpaper-tray
[03:49] <jahshua> or is it remove?
[03:49] <whozatmac> jahshua: apt-get remove is easier/safer
[03:50] <orbin> UbuntuJulez: next time do a serach in synaptic/apt
[03:50] <orbin> search even
[03:50] <whozatmac> unless you need to force remove something another package thiks it depends on or other wierd usage
[03:50] <jahshua> whozatmac: i tried that but it tells me the package isnt installed but i can se it in my /etc/apt/cahce/archive
[03:50] <jahshua> sorry for typos
[03:50] <jahshua> i cant see what im typing
[03:50] <CaptSmokey6> need help, unable to access or write something in external harddrive, it says permission denied
[03:50] <UbuntuJulez> orbin, for what?
[03:51] <UbuntuJulez> i thought it was a default option...it was in the mac
[03:51] <WarOfAttrition> trying to install with the live cd, it gets stuck at mounting root filesystem. so I guess there's no point in installing with the alternate disk it in the first place?
[03:51] <Rudy507> jahshua, I'm running the default installation of dapper, found mine in /usr/share/fonts
[03:51] <orbin> UbuntuJulez: random wallpapers?  it's not.
[03:51] <hazey> UbuntuJulez: hello sweety
[03:51] <orbin> UbuntuJulez: ... a default option that is.
[03:51] <ernst> why, do i get this error, i've installed ubu for the 10th time on this machine and now this: Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0"
[03:51] <ernst> what is it?
[03:51] <hazey> scrappy__: what can k3b do that gnomebaker cannot?
[03:52] <whozatmac> jahshua, i think those are all the packages that are or WERE installed, the actual debs.
[03:52] <hazey> cius: what bugs did gnomebaker have?
[03:52] <whozatmac> if apt says it's removed it's removed
[03:52] <jahshua> whozatmac: anywhere else i can loook
[03:52] <jahshua> ok
[03:52] <whozatmac> theoretically :)
[03:52] <WarOfAttrition> so does ubuntu support sata2 or what
[03:52] <soodsaman> how do i mount my hard drive automatically at boot?
[03:52] <CaptSmokey6> need help, i'm in a crises with my external harddrive, i am being denied permission to access and write it
[03:52] <cius> hazey, I can't remember particulars, it just crashed on me a lot
[03:53] <cius> hazey, it may be great now, I dunno, I just use k3b because I know its top quality
[03:53] <hazey> what does clamtk do?
[03:53] <nosklo> soodsaman, it is mounted automatically so the system is loaded, the system cannot load without the harddrive mounted
[03:53] <soodsaman> captsmokey, you need to change your permissions in root
[03:53] <CaptSmokey6> how do i do that?
[03:53] <hazey> cius: there are bugs in k3b too im sure :P
[03:54] <WarOfAttrition> no one has a clue??
[03:54] <whozatmac> soodsman: I assume you mean a disk or partition other than you're boot volume
[03:54] <orbin> nosklo: heh
[03:54] <soodsaman> nosklo i have two hard drives, i have to manualy load at every restart
[03:54] <nosklo> soodsaman, oh
[03:54] <cius> hazey, likely, but experience tells me I don't have to worry about them, its never flaked on me
[03:54] <nosklo> soodsaman, then add it to /etc/fstab
[03:54] <airz3r0> what is that
[03:54] <nosklo> soodsaman, or better
[03:54] <orcdestroyer> hello
[03:54] <hazey> cius: ok
[03:54] <nosklo> soodsaman, enter System -> Disks
[03:54] <CaptSmokey6> how do i change permission in the root?
[03:54] <nosklo> soodsaman, and configure a mountpoint there
[03:54] <orcdestroyer>  root@CTZA:~# apachectl restart

[03:55] <ryantrip> hey i need help connecting to and finder wirless networks. i have a 2wire 802.11g wireless pc card, and im trying to connect to my wirless network. most of the time, it cant even find any networks. and if i try to manualy connect with my wireless information, it doesnt work eather.
[03:55] <orcdestroyer> there is somebody to help me?
[03:55] <whozatmac> should, friendliest way would be in (from gnome panel menus) system>administration>disks, you should be able to give them mount points
[03:55] <orbin> CaptSmokey6: permission for what
[03:55] <whozatmac> otherwise, /etc/fstab is the *unixway*
[03:55] <nosklo> CaptSmokey6, are you sure your external device doesnt have a "read only" switch?
[03:55] <nosklo> CaptSmokey6, mine had
[03:55] <CaptSmokey6> to access and write on my external harddrive\
[03:55] <rc> I have 2 machines, both exactly the same, both with ubuntu dapper AMD64 installed, in order to avoid downloading the same files twice (dial up) what dir's do I copy from the updated online machine to the freshly installed offline box?
[03:55] <soodsaman> nosklo, i do that at every boot, i just want it to be autmatically loaded at boot
[03:55] <whozatmac> ubuntujulez beep media player is in universe
[03:56] <CaptSmokey6> no, thereis no switch
[03:56] <WarOfAttrition> orbin, ok thanks, I \guess it doesnt
[03:56] <whozatmac> soodsman: edit your /etc/fstab
[03:56] <orcdestroyer> Syntax error on line 237 of /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf:

[03:56] <orcdestroyer>  Cannot load /usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_dav_svn.so into server: /usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_dav_svn.so: undefined symbol: dav_xml_get_cdata
[03:56] <nosklo> soodsaman, i thought it would be permanent, do it the old way then, just add your drive to /etc/fstab
[03:56] <whozatmac> more or less copy the line for your root, changing the mount point and device for your other filesystem
[03:56] <WarOfAttrition> this is what they get for accepting a lousy new compaq
[03:56] <CaptSmokey6> i am able to read and write with no problem on windows, but doe some reason, i can't do it on ubuntu
[03:56] <soodsaman> captsmokey, you gonna have to log in as root, and change the permission at the mount point, that's the only way i know how cuz i don't know the terminal commands
[03:56] <airz3r0> ho you got the game wrong
[03:56] <whozatmac> captsmokey6 read and write what?
[03:57] <CaptSmokey6> how do i log in as root?
[03:57] <CaptSmokey6> external harddrive
[03:57] <WarOfAttrition> sata2 sucks!!!1
[03:58] <whozatmac> WarOfAttrition: have you tried to install to it?
[03:58] <CaptSmokey6> how do i log in as root? sorry, i'm new at linux
[03:58] <whozatmac> just plug it up, boot from cd, and go?
[03:58] <soodsaman> hang on capt i'm looking for the website
[03:59] <CaptSmokey6> ok
[03:59] <whozatmac> captsmokey6: the ubuntu way is to use sudo
[03:59] <orbin> CaptSmokey6: generally no need to, use sudo
[03:59] <orcdestroyer> can anyone help me?
[03:59] <WarOfAttrition> whozatmac, it gets stuck at the cd boot at 'mounting root filesystem'
[03:59] <soodsaman> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper
[03:59] <whozatmac> but to log in as root, run $sudo passwd
[03:59] <soodsaman> there u go capt
[03:59] <whozatmac> the that will set the root passwd
[03:59] <soodsaman> good luck
[03:59] <whozatmac> then log in as root
[03:59] <CaptSmokey6> thanks

[04:00] <CaptSmokey6> i'll stay in here, in case i need more assistance
[04:00] <shiv> my system says gnome-pilot is installed. Can't find it in Apps menu. Any help?
[04:00] <whozatmac> WarOfAttrition: hm.  dunno I don't have any SATA.
[04:00] <WarOfAttrition> all the linux installs I've tried say there is no hard disk present, so I guess sata2 is not usable by linux, darn x 1000000
[04:01] <apeman2020> captsmokey_open your terminal and type sudo -i
[04:01] <whozatmac> hm
[04:01] <orbin> shiv: it's an applet
[04:01] <whozatmac> prolly requires a driver for the interface, which may require a custom install CD
[04:02] <apeman2020> then enter your password
[04:02] <apeman2020> could anyone help with a php mysql issue?
[04:02] <whozatmac> SATA is on in your PC BIOS, right, you can see the drive when you POST?
[04:02] <orbin> shiv: you add applets to panels, you don't run them from menus
[04:02] <WarOfAttrition> whozatmac, of course, it's a store bought abomination, it has windows on it and it works fine
[04:03] <WarOfAttrition> the mode is UDMA 2 for the hdd
[04:03] <nikin_> hy
[04:03] <soodsaman> whozatmac: i'm in the etc dir, i'm at root user in sudo, what command do i need to use to edit fstab?
[04:03] <nikin_> how to list the runing programs in terminal?
[04:03] <whozatmac> sudo nano fstab
[04:03] <whozatmac> or nano fstab
[04:04] <soodsaman> ok thanks
[04:04] <orbin> nikin: ps aux ... or top for a realtime look
[04:05] <whozatmac> apeman2020: what's the php/mysql
[04:05] <whozatmac> apeman2020: problem, i mean?
[04:06] <WarOfAttrition> I've heard bleedyeft supports sata2, could that be true?
[04:07] <computer13137> Hello
[04:07] <whozatmac> WarOfAttrition: like I said I don't have any SATA?  Old School, Style, you might have to figure out what type of controller you have, and make an ubuntu boot cd with that driver
[04:07] <computer13137> I have a quick question.  I need to do this in the next ten minutes so I can get over and reformat the server.  Please help as soon as possible!  How do I put /var/www into a tar.gz file.  I need all files and subdirectories.  Like using CP -R
[04:07] <WarOfAttrition> whozatmac, I've already looked for stuff like that. I haven't found any info for making it work.
[04:07] <naga44> hello....how do i reinstall grub from the live cd?   i installed windows after ubuntu and now only windows comes up
[04:08] <whozatmac> computer13137 tar czf dir file.tgz
[04:08] <nikin> ok its done
[04:09] <nikin> !grub
[04:09] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[04:09] <WarOfAttrition> anyways, avoid sata2 drives

 Noooo, i mean $ tar cz /var/www -f webdir.tgz
[04:09] <dfcarney> whozatmac: I just signed in (so I haven't seen your entire discussion) but something like 'tar cvzf foo.tar.gz /var/lib' should work

[04:41] <cowmilk> the PII 300 mhZ seems to have 4 slots for RAM, while my PIII 500 mhZ has only 2 slots. 	is it possible to put the pIII 500 mhZ processor onto the motherboard with 4 RAM slots?
[04:41] <VoX> i love when people do that
[04:41] <Madpilot> spotter, tell him when he gets back...
[04:41] <VoX> OMG PASTE
[04:41] <orbin> cowmilk: and this is relevant to ubuntu how? :)
[04:41] <spotter> Madpilot, no prb
[04:42] <mange> anyone using ubuntu for their servers?
[04:42] <sethk> cowmilk, if the ram slots are the same type, sure
[04:42] <cowmilk> orbin: the people at offtopic told me to come here
[04:42] <CaptSmokey6> need help, can't access external harddrive or write it, someone here gave me instructions on how to fix this problem, but they don't work
[04:42] <sethk> cowmilk, and the cpu slots, of course
[04:42] <orbin> hehe
[04:42] <sharms> cowmilk: try #techreport
[04:42] <Madpilot> mange, lots of peope - ubuntu.com is running Ubuntu servers
[04:42] <cowmilk> sethk: how can i know if the cpu slots are the same?
[04:42] <cowmilk> taking a look?
[04:42] <sethk> cowmilk, well, if the little pins go in the little holes ... :)
[04:42] <cowmilk> trying to physically fit it in?
[04:42] <cowmilk> ok
[04:42] <cowmilk> like a jigsaw puzzle
[04:43] <Dattasmoon> does ext3 have a depth limit?
[04:43] <mange> but how fast are they to fix security bugs? many times Ive seen them lagging behind..
[04:43] <cowmilk> i hope i don't destroy anything in the process?
[04:43] <cowmilk> .
[04:43] <sethk> cowmilk, with intel chips it's not subtle
[04:43] <sethk> cowmilk, at least with pIII and p4 chips
[04:43] <cowmilk> sethk: so it will be easy to figure out
[04:43] <sethk> cowmilk, should be, yes.
[04:43] <cowmilk> ok
[04:43] <cowmilk> sethk: i hope it's easy with p2, too
[04:43] <sethk> cowmilk, remember though that pc100, pc125 look identical
[04:43] <sethk> cowmilk, the p2 looks more like a circuit board than a chip
[04:43] <HedgeMage> Dattasmoon: I believe it does, but I've never hit it.
[04:44] <sethk> cowmilk, you won't mistake a p2 for a p3 or p4
[04:44] <cowmilk> what's pc 100 and pc125?
[04:44] <sethk> cowmilk, ram speeds.  the simms look identical
[04:44] <Dattasmoon> hedgeMage, ok cool, what about reiserfs?
[04:44] <mempf> are there any mirrors for the security repositories?
[04:44] <dfcarney> jdm: is this a laptop you have?
[04:44] <spotter> jdm2, use pastebin, do not copy paste
[04:44] <jordan> spotter, Ok So i just Burn The Iso? Using the menu?
[04:45] <spotter> jordan, yes, if it lets you
[04:45] <dfcarney> jdm2: is this a laptop you have?
[04:45] <sethk> cowmilk, if the memory simms are different types, they won't fit in the slots, but if they are the same type but different speeds, they will fit but probably won't work (if they are too slow for the mobo)
[04:45] <jdm2> no
[04:45] <dfcarney> jdm2: k.  hold on...i'm just poking around the web, looking for the driver ref.
[04:45] <mange> ubuntu is slower fixing bugs than debian?
[04:45] <HedgeMage> Dattasmoon: not sure
[04:45] <cowmilk> sethk: the memory simss are on the pentium processor units?
[04:45] <jdm2> It's a hp palvan a1000y desktop
[04:46] <ba> kick me out of ma home
[04:46] <ba> exploit eh
[04:46] <ba> i asked for it
[04:46] <ba> how about now
[04:46] <sharms> ba: you are continually offtopic.
[04:46] <sethk> cowmilk, no, the simms are the memory "sticks" that go in the mobo.  the things (I believe) you said one board has three, and the other, two, of
[04:46] <Zambezi> I installed an application with apt-get, I compiled a new version, but when I use apt-get remove I don't erase it. How can I do to erase the compiled version?
[04:46] <sethk> cowmilk, or maybe you said 4 and 3
[04:46] <Madpilot> ba, take the offtopic chat to #ubuntu-offtopic, please
[04:46] <Dattasmoon> hedgeMage, thanks for the info
[04:46] <ba> sharms. i like ubuntu
[04:47] <ba> enough i spread it everywhere
[04:47] <sharms> ba: awesome, lets talk about it then
[04:47] <jordan> spotter, How can i do it with k3b (I dont want to write it fast)
[04:47] <orbin> Zambezi: and that's why you should use checkinstall :)
[04:47] <ba> sometimes you can talk about llinux, without having to talk about linux
[04:47] <spotter> jordan, lemme see here
[04:47] <Schumi> can anyone help me setup or us x86 instead of xwindows?
[04:47] <Schumi> !x86
[04:47] <ubotu> I know nothing about x86 - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[04:47] <mange> is ubuntu fast on fixing security bugs??
[04:47] <cowmilk> sethk: no, i said that one mobo has 4 slots for RAM, the other has 2 slots
[04:47] <Zambezi> orbin, I used ./configure, make, sudo make install.
[04:47] <Madpilot> ba, last warning: chat on #ubuntu-offtopic. This is a support channel.
[04:47] <Madpilot> mange, yes
[04:48] <orbin> Zambezi: try doing a 'make uninstall' with the makefile
[04:48] <ba> Schumi: whats wrong with xorg
[04:48] <Schumi> !xf86
[04:48] <ubotu> I know nothing about xf86 - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[04:48] <sethk> cowmilk, ok, 4 and 2, those things are the SIMMs (or possibly DIMMs)
[04:48] <smXP> hey guys i have a lil problem in XMMS, the volume control doesn't even work, i have to lower the volume from my master volume control, what may cause the volume not to work from xmms?
[04:48] <Schumi> it wont display any resolutions except 1024x768 in the screen resolutions box
[04:48] <cowmilk> sethk: simms are RAM thingies?
[04:48] <vortexvein> Ever since I changed default soundcards in System -> Preferences -> Sounds , about half the programs I run now do not have sound anymore, most noteably in VisualBoyAdvance, zsnes and freecraft, or whenever I try to watch a flash animation or movie, even though my soundcard seems to work on the other half of programs
[04:48] <sethk> Zambezi, with most things, there isn't a formal uninstall
[04:48] <vortexvein> is there a sure-fire way to fix this?
[04:48] <sethk> cowmilk, right.  SIMM means single inline memory module, I think
[04:48] <Jared> Hey gusy, i'm in xchat how do i change the colors of the text on the main part of the program
[04:48] <cowmilk> ok
[04:49] <Schumi> I want to try to swtich over to XF86 and sell if it helps.
[04:49] <orbin> Schumi: why go backwards?  the issue is your monitor rates are probably wrong like i said earlier
[04:49] <orbin> Schumi: you've seen this: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto ?
[04:49] <Zambezi> orbin, That didn't work.
[04:49] <spotter> jordan, is there a menu for iso's ? sorry i dont have k3b here now
[04:49] <Schumi> yea I tried the autodetect again.
[04:50] <Zambezi> sethk, I get pissed. Why can't it be easy. :-/
[04:50] <cowmilk> so the SIMMs thingies have numebres on them (such as pc125) yes, sethk?
[04:50] <Schumi> it did nothing to the resolutions displayed in the box under System>Prefs>Screen resolution
[04:50] <orbin> Zambezi: then they didn't define a removal line in the makefile
[04:50] <jordan> spotter, I'm not sure about the menu thing but i'll try it if k3b dont work.
[04:50] <spotter> ok
[04:50] <sethk> Schumi, if you know what the monitor does, then you can tell it "generic monitor that does 1024x768@70hz" (for example) and the other resolutions will probably show up
[04:51] <Zambezi> orbin, Then I have to reinstall Ubuntu, not knowing if it will help. :-/
[04:51] <dfcarney> hey, does 5.10 use the 2.4 or 2.6 kernel?
[04:51] <Schumi> so when in asks what type of monitor just leave it all blank?
[04:51] <PigsFly> hello ubuntu
[04:51] <sethk> Zambezi, the space taken by most programs is insignificant.  just make sure the executable isn't in the search path before the one you want to run, and don't worry about the leftover files
[04:51] <Schumi> I would like to have all the options availivbel and it just let me pick. I won't pick one too high.
[04:51] <PigsFly> I lost my ubuntu cd, anyone from nz here? i'll buy a copy from u
[04:51] <guignome> hey guys
[04:51] <sethk> Schumi, of course, but you are trying to work around an anomoly
[04:51] <Zambezi> sethk, But the application doesn't work, so I would like downgrade it.
[04:52] <dfcarney> ah, found it: 2.6
[04:52] <sethk> PigsFly, I'm not in NZ, but pay me enough and I'll ship it to you  :)
[04:52] <spotter> PigsFly, you can order one from shipit for free or you can download the iso
[04:52] <sethk> Zambezi, that's fine, remove the exe from the path, then install the older one.
[04:52] <jdm2> Also it has to do with the hotplug subsystem.  Since the card isn't working properly it freezes there so I have to abort it
[04:52] <mistform> alright, guys
[04:52] <dfcarney> jdm: if you type 'lsmod | grep snd-intel' does it list anything (please don't paste the result) ?
[04:52] <sethk> Zambezi, highly unlikely that you need to remove other files
[04:52] <mistform> I wanna try this again
[04:53] <vortexvein> Ever since I changed default soundcards in System -> Preferences -> Sounds , about half the programs I run now do not have sound anymore, most noteably in VisualBoyAdvance, zsnes and freecraft, or whenever I try to watch a flash animation or movie, even though my soundcard seems to work on the other half of programs
[04:53] <vortexvein> is there a sure-fire way to fix this?
[04:53] <mange> Madpilot: thanks... I looked at the latest apache http bug and they had already fixed it in ubuntu... I will give it a try now.
[04:53] <PigsFly> Im over my cap
[04:53] <sharms> can someone look at my xorg.conf at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19448  and tell me why the 2nd screen is not using 1440x900?
[04:53] <PigsFly> i cant download it, i got it on a mag but it didnt work mag dvd's suck
[04:53] <jordan> spotter, Im using the menu option. (K3b wont work)
[04:53] <Zambezi> sethk, I tried to apt-get remove and the apt-get install, but it didn't work.
[04:53] <dfcarney> jdm2: if you type 'lsmod | grep snd-intel' does it list anything (please don't paste the result) ?
[04:53] <spotter> PigsFly, you can get one for free from shipit on the ubuntu website...they will mail it to you
[04:53] <PigsFly> im getting shipped 20 copies but they havent arrived, was months ago
[04:53] <spotter> jordan, let me know if that works
[04:53] <mistform> I disabled my eth0 to try out my wireless network (eth1), but it doesn't work.  So I re-activated eth0, and it doesn't work at all now.  anyone know what I can do?
[04:54] <PigsFly> tried that
[04:54] <guignome> quick question: the sound works sometime and doesn't work sometime. I usually just have to reboot to make it works, does anyone have a similar experience on dapper drake?
[04:54] <dfcarney> jdm2: i'm a bit unfamiliar with hotplug stuff -- can you point me to a reference?
[04:54] <Schumi> hell I can't get my first monitor to the right resolution let along have it detect another one!
[04:54] <PigsFly> do you guys use Windows?
[04:54] <Madpilot> PigsFly, you on high-speed interent
[04:54] <sethk> Zambezi, you have to manually remove (with rm) the executable program file.  apt-get remove won't remove the one you compiled.
[04:54] <PigsFly> yes
[04:54] <mange> pigsfly everyday
[04:54] <dfcarney> mistform: how'd you deactivate/reactivate it?
[04:54] <PigsFly> I only get 1 gig highspeed a month and im over it
[04:54] <sethk> Zambezi, usually a compiled one will end up in /usr/local/bin, while apt-get puts it in /usr/bin.  So you have to delete the program from /usr/local/bin
[04:55] <mistform> went to the Netorking, clicked it and said "Deactivate"
[04:55] <sethk> Zambezi, especially if /usr/local/bin is in your PATH before /usr/bin
[04:55] <PigsFly> MadPilot send it?
[04:55] <Madpilot> PigsFly, ah... the Ubuntu ISO is 697MB
[04:55] <sethk> Zambezi, but, regardless of where the exe is, rm the newer version.  if the file isn't there, then it won't be run instead of the older one.
[04:55] <PigsFly> wow would take a day or two
[04:55] <jdm2> when you start up ubuntu and it says starting models and so forth it down in there where it says starting hotplug subsystem
[04:55] <Madpilot> PigsFly, I'm in Canada, it's a bit of a long way
[04:55] <sethk> Zambezi, if you aren't sure, erase all the files of that name, then do the apt-get install,
[04:55] <PigsFly> i'll start swimming man.
[04:55] <orbin> Schumi: pastebin your xorg.conf file
[04:55] <PigsFly> omg! it's a shark
[04:56] <spotter> PigsFly, lol
[04:56] <Zambezi> sethk, I rather reinstall the whole system.
[04:56] <jordan> spotter, Working :)
[04:56] <dfcarney> mistform: from the command prompt, try "sudo ifdown eth0; sudo ifup eth0"
[04:56] <Schumi> k 1 sec
[04:56] <sethk> Zambezi, ok,
[04:56] <spotter> jordan, glad to hear it
[04:56] <HLM> gives PigsFly a rowboat
[04:56] <sethk> Zambezi, takes longer, though :)
[04:57] <vortexvein> Ever since I changed default soundcards in System -> Preferences -> Sounds , about half the programs I run now do not have sound anymore, most noteably in VisualBoyAdvance, zsnes and freecraft, or whenever I try to watch a flash animation or movie, even though my soundcard seems to work on the other half of programs
[04:57] <vortexvein> is there a sure-fire way to fix this?
[04:57] <Schumi> whats pastebin?
[04:57] <Zambezi> sethk, Probably not, cause I won't make this anyway.
[04:57] <sethk> Zambezi, what I would do is repeat the make install (from the compiled version), capture the output, then remove each installed file.
[04:57] <orbin> !paste > Schumi
[04:57] <mistform> k, I did that
[04:57] <sethk> Zambezi, if I really wanted to remove everything from the compiled version.
[04:57] <dfcarney> jdm2: ok.
[04:57] <Zambezi> sethk, Too complicated. I reinstall the system instead.
[04:58] <mistform> schumi: http://pastebin.ca it's a place where you can "post" anything, and give people a URL so they can see
[04:58] <jordan> How can i share 2pcs Internet Connection?
[04:58] <vortexvein> okay, I guess I have to go waste SQL Space and goto the forums
[04:58] <mistform> it's so you don't spam IRC or other importan forums
[04:58] <KVirus> where does apt put the files retreived by apt-get update and are they safe to be deleted ?
[04:58] <jordan> .. I mean make this ubuntu pc Let another ubuntu accsess the net
[04:58] <orbin> KVirus: apt-get update just updates the package list
[04:58] <jdm2> I know that the sound can get to work but it has to be configured manually instead of auto
[04:58] <sethk> vortexvein, sounds like you aren't running a sound server, so one program snags the sound resources, and others don't get sound.
[04:59] <Schumi> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19449
[04:59] <mistform> dfcarney: I did that
[04:59] <yairgo`> anyone know why my live cd would stop at mounting root file system?
[04:59] <dfcarney> jdm2: lockups when using drivers is typically an indicator of kernel instability (and tricky to debug).  When I've debugged things like this in the past, I'll usually spend some time reviewing the kernel messages in 'dmesg' while trying to unload/reload the driver (in your case, I believe it to be 'snd-intel8x0.ko').  If that doesn't work, I'd then try to compile the driver myself (grab the source code from the web and give it a 
[04:59] <orbin> Schumi: run this: sudo ddcprobe | grep monitorrange
[04:59] <dfcarney> jdm2: sorry that i can't help much more, but i've got to take off soon.
[04:59] <spotter> jordan, cheap router?
[04:59] <dfcarney> mistform: do you mean that you tried it before, or just now?
[05:00] <Schumi> 30-70, 50-160 it says
[05:00] <mistform> dfcarney: I just typed it in
[05:00] <jordan> I thought there was a way with a crossover cable (Somebody was telling me how earlier (But then my Pc crashed...)
[05:00] <vortexvein> Alright, a sound server huh. how do I access it, or turn it on or set it up
[05:00] <whozatmac> jordan, you need two network cards in one machine, one in the other, and the linux iptables howto
[05:00] <orbin> Schumi: gksudo 'gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf'
[05:00] <PigsFly> I'm making butter chicken for dinner but  I have no rice, can anyone send me some rice?
[05:00] <whozatmac> nothing as simple as share my net connection in windows and mac yet
[05:00] <Schumi> k
[05:00] <dfcarney> mistform: i'm assuming that this is on another computer, right?  can you test out your network connection?
[05:01] <whozatmac> google search: linux NAT masquerade iptables
[05:01] <spc> hi all, I got my screen resolution fixed.  Yay!
[05:01] <mistform> these two computers are on the same network
[05:01] <jordan> whozatmac, I have my Pc on the net so how to i hook it up to the other and get it working
[05:01] <yairgo`> is there something special you need to do if you are trying to dual boot with windows?  the livecd halted at Mounting root file system
[05:01] <spc> How do I find out what kernel version I have?
[05:01] <dfcarney> mistform: can you ping one from the other?
[05:01] <jdm2> thanks for your help
[05:01] <spc> I'm trying to set up beagle.
[05:01] <orbin> Schumi: opened the file?
[05:01] <Schumi> yep
[05:01] <sethk> yairgo`, no, nothing special
[05:01] <orbin> find the HorizSync line
[05:01] <Kaleo> hello guys
[05:01] <whozatmac> jordan: do you have 2 network cards?
[05:01] <Schumi> got it
[05:02] <mistform> it's pinging the Router great
[05:02] <KVirus> guys i got an error during apt-get update and now the error doesnt appear any more .. is it safe ?
[05:02] <yairgo`> sethk any way i can find out why its halting?  my main drive has 80 gigs and 30 of it is unpartitioned for ubuntu
[05:02] <dfcarney> jdm2: for reference, 'insmod' and 'rmmod' can add/remove modules, but 'modprobe' is more powerful (it calculates dependencies)
[05:02] <mistform> I typed "ping 192.168.0.1
[05:02] <mistform> "
[05:02] <orbin> Schumi: change 30 - 65 to 30 - 70, and change vertrefresh from 50 - 75 to 50 - 160
[05:02] <jordan> I have 2 Places for Plugs in the Back But no card sticking out like a laptop...
[05:02] <dfcarney> mistform: both of them are pinging the router?
[05:02] <Schumi> and save?
[05:02] <orbin> Schumi: changed the values?
[05:02] <Schumi> yes
[05:02] <whozatmac> jordan: for ethernet plugs?
[05:02] <mistform> yeah
[05:02] <mistform> lemme reboot
[05:03] <jordan> whozatmac, 99% Sure
[05:03] <dfcarney> mistform: then aren't your problems solved?  maybe I'm missing something...
[05:03] <nny_> i need to make a shirt "grub ate my boot loader"
[05:03] <orbin> Schumi: yes, save and close, then try a ctrl+alt+backspace to restart X
[05:03] <mistform> I installed the Network Manager to try and use my wireless
[05:03] <spc> can someone type my name so I know my comments are being seen?
[05:03] <whozatmac> jordan: so what is the arrangement you are looking for? One plugged into the modem, one into the other computer, and both can see the internet?
[05:03] <yairgo`> s[c
[05:03] <spotter> spc
[05:03] <yairgo`> spc
[05:03] <spc> Yay! thanks!
[05:03] <mistform> think it could be something like that, that's messing up my internet?
[05:03] <jordan> whozatmac, Yeah
[05:04] <nny_> i have tried mirroring my other installs grub bootloader, but ot no avail, i update nvidia kernel common and nvidia and now it won't load my windows partition... which since nvidia module isn't quite working, makes this a text only laptop
[05:04] <KVirus> guys i got an error during apt-get update and now the error doesnt appear any more .. is it safe ?
[05:04] <nny_> someone wanna chime in and see what i missed?
[05:04] <dfcarney> mistform: maybe.  if your default route is set improperly or DNS isn't working properly then you won't be able to resolve hostnames properly.
[05:04] <sethk> yairgo`, you might try running with the flag that turns off dma for the ide drives, see if it goes further
[05:04] <whozatmac> jordan: I run like that.  unfortunately, there's no really simple way to set it up
[05:04] <orbin> KVirus: what was it about?
[05:04] <yairgo`> sethk how do i do that?
[05:04] <whozatmac> jordan: I can send you my startup script to set up the routing
[05:04] <dfcarney> mistform: what does 'traceroute www.google.com' say?
[05:05] <dfcarney> mistform: does it work?
[05:05] <KVirus> orbin: couldnt record it .. i guess .. couldnt find file or directory
[05:05] <mistform> ok, FF opens up my homepage
[05:05] <Schumi> it worked! great
[05:05] <KVirus> orbin: it was a local directory i guess
[05:05] <mistform> but, it still says the network is unavailable
[05:05] <nny_> gah nayone?
[05:05] <sethk> yairgo`, it's a kernel command line parameter, let me check it ...
[05:05] <KVirus> orbin: its the first time to run apt-get update .. would that be it ?
[05:05] <whozatmac> jordan: you will also have to have a crossover ethernet cable to connect the two machines
[05:05] <dfcarney> mistform: 'tracepath' rather
[05:05] <PigsFly> I like my pussy.
[05:05] <orbin> Schumi: either remember those two value ranges (those are your monitor rates) .. or remember that command to bring them up again
[05:05] <jordan> whozatmac, I have a crossover.
[05:05] <jordan> whozatmac, Acctually 2
[05:05] <PigsFly> You all like cock? niceeeee
[05:05] <sethk> yairgo`, ide=nodma
[05:05] <PigsFly> lick my ass
[05:05] <PigsFly> you stupid fuckers
[05:06] <PigsFly> love you all!
[05:06] <PigsFly> bye bye
[05:06] <PigsFly> troll!
[05:06] <Snake> <3
[05:06] <Schumi> ok great, thanks alot. .... you wouldn't happen to have any idea how to do dual monitors too would you?
[05:06] <PigsFly> kick him!
[05:06] <orbin> Schumi: basically your rates were wrong, even if you have the correct modelines, X won;t use them if your rates are wrong
[05:06] <PigsFly> ban him
[05:06] <bruenig> !ops
[05:06] <ubotu> Help! lilo, Keybuk, mdz, Amaranth, tritium, ajmitch, crimsun, ogra, CarlK, Seveas, Burgundavia, apokryphos, thoreauputic, nalioth, Madpilot, ompaul, rob, Hobbsee, imbrandon, DBO or gnomefreak!
[05:06] <orbin> Schumi: no idea, sorry.
[05:06] <PigsFly> its time
[05:06] <PigsFly> do me!
[05:06] <PigsFly> hard baby
[05:06] <Schumi> I have two identical screens in front of me...
[05:06] <Snake> Madpilot: ban?
[05:06] <yairgo`> sethk where do i type that
[05:06] <Schumi> I think I can figure it out now though. I see how hte config file works
[05:06] <Madpilot> Snake, we'll see
[05:06] <Snake> -.-
[05:06] <whozatmac> jordan let's msg directly
[05:07] <sethk> yairgo`, you may have to edit the command line at the grub prompt.
[05:07] <whozatmac> jordan is your nic registered?
[05:07] <jordan> whozatmac, It says i need to be Registered
[05:07] <KVirus> orbin: so ?
[05:07] <nny_> : i have tried mirroring my other installs grub bootloader, but to no avail, i updated nvidia kernel common and nvidia0glx  and now it won't load my windows partition... which since nvidia module isn't quite working, makes this a text only laptop
[05:07] <jordan> How do i do it?
[05:07] <sethk> yairgo`, add it to the end of the line that specifies the kernel
[05:07] <Strykyr> sorry about the away nick. I wasn't aware that it was unacceptable.
[05:07] <whozatmac> uboto tell jordan about register
[05:07] <yairgo`> so like the line that specifies the other options?
[05:07] <orbin> KVirus: dunno...if you don't get errors, i don't see anything to be worried about :)
[05:07] <nny_> rar nothing p**es me off more than "snafu" from simply doing an apt-get install Blah
[05:07] <sethk> Schumi, for dual monitors install xinerama and modify your xorg.conf.  there's several how-to's on the net
[05:07] <nny_> nothing should touch grub in a distro :\
[05:08] <whozatmac> Madpilot: was that right to get uboto to tell jordan the info?
[05:08] <whozatmac> abot registering
[05:08] <yairgo`> sethk that gave me a kernel panic error
[05:08] <nny_> can anyone see me>?
[05:08] <yairgo`> nny_ yes
[05:08] <spotter> nny_, yes
[05:08] <whozatmac> jordan did you get a message from uboto?
[05:08] <jordan> no
[05:08] <jordan> !register
[05:08] <ubotu> Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[05:08] <Schumi> thanks sethk
[05:08] <mistform> dfcarney: It pinged www.yahoo.com, but it has 3 "no reply"s
[05:08] <sethk> yairgo`, before mounting root, or after?
[05:09] <dfcarney> mistform: don't worry about the 'no reply' messages.  if it can resolve hostnames (and ping them) then you should be fine.
[05:09] <dfcarney> mistform: as for getting your wireless to work, that's another story.
[05:09] <nny_> well.. anyone wanna take a crack at why my grub is fubared?  It looks like a apt-get nvidia-glx and nvidia-common added too many os entries and my XP entry got screwed up...
[05:09] <whozatmac> ubotu tell jordan about register
[05:09] <mistform> do you know why it says no connection available?
[05:09] <spotter> nny_, did you try manually editing grub?
[05:09] <jordan> whozatmac, Got it.
[05:09] <dfcarney> mistform: no, sorry.  i'd have to look at the script to tell you why.
[05:09] <yairgo`> sethk the menu comes up, i hit f6 put the command in after splash -- then i hit enter and it loads kernel and then goes straight to a kernel halt screen
[05:09] <Madpilot> whozatmac, it's ubotu, not uboto
[05:10] <Madpilot> aside from that, yes
[05:10] <orbin> nny_: so what happens?  you can't boot xp?
[05:10] <nny_> spotter multiple times, eithe rpebkac or worse
[05:10] <Jman8888> whozatmac, Had to change my nick
[05:10] <nny_> orbin says invalid partition type or various other errors, tried all of the partition numbers, by editing grub at boot, just to see if any of them would load
[05:10] <Jman8888> whozatmac, Im registered now.
[05:10] <sethk> yairgo`, you'll also need root=/dev/....   (as in /dev/hda2, if the first partition is windows and the second the  linux root)
[05:10] <yairgo`> sethk do i have to install grub on my machine before i can install ubuntu or something?  everyone ive talked to says put the cd in and hit enter on "Start or install ubuntu" but it doesnt go anywhere?
[05:11] <yairgo`> ok
[05:11] <spotter> nny_, sorry..out of my area of knowledge
[05:11] <nny_> title blah, root (hd0,5) savedefaukt, makeactivem chainloader +1
[05:11] <nny_> er - the m
[05:11] <dfcarney> mistform: how much do you know about routing tables?
[05:11] <nny_> man typos suck, that but without the typos
[05:11] <mistform> anyone use ayttm???
[05:11] <sethk> nny_, xp does not like to load from a non-primary partition
[05:12] <sethk> yairgo`, when you hit enter you get the default command line
[05:12] <nny_> sethk it's vista actually
[05:12] <UbuntuJulez> Ubuntu's website says I can now install Opera; however Opera does not come up in the Add/Remove box; nor does it come up under Synaptic and a terminal apt-get command says: Package opera is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[05:12] <nny_> sethkand until five seconds ago it worked great
[05:12] <sethk> yairgo`, what you want to do is to edit the command, which I believe you do by typing e.   type help at the grub prompt, it should tell you
[05:12] <bruenig> !info opera
[05:12] <ubotu> Package opera does not exist in dapper
[05:12] <nny_> sethk scientific reasoning says that if booted ten thousand times before, than stoppped, the method wasn't the problem
[05:12] <cam> how can I launch a binary using another user ? (root launching foo bin but I want to run it as nobody)
[05:12] <bigbill52a> opera comes with automatix which is available with instructions on debian guide
[05:12] <sanmarcos> I dont want to live anymore
[05:12] <sethk> nny_, that's true
[05:12] <mistform> anyone here use ayttm?  I can't get my yahoo pw to work
[05:12] <tritium> UbuntuJulez: I have opera installed, so I know it's available
[05:13] <spotter> UbuntuJulez,  i believe you can download the ubuntu package on the opera site
[05:13] <whozatmac> Jman8888 still not getting my messages?
[05:13] <orbin> UbuntuJulez: enable the commercial option in add/remove
[05:13] <tritium> mistform: I believe more users use gaim
[05:13] <UbuntuJulez> lol @ the bot being misinformed
[05:13] <sethk> nny_, however, reasoning also tells you that if that command hasn't changed, then you can put 10,000 other commands in the same file and it also won't cause a problem
[05:13] <bigbill52a> i use opera in both windows and linux
[05:13] <bruenig> UbuntuJulez, I did a sudo apt-cache search opera and it is there, might be in one of the extra repos
[05:13] <nny_> sethk apt-get nvidia-blah seemes to have pushed the amount of kernels loadable at boot past the limit, and when i went back and hand edited out the extra kernels, the win xp wouldn'
[05:13] <nny_> t boot
[05:13] <dfcarney> cam: something like 'su - <user> <binary>'
[05:13] <nny_> er "win vista" :\
[05:13] <mistform> i've used GAIM and I don't like it
[05:13] <UbuntuJulez> GAIM rocks
[05:14] <agro1986> help: is there an offline english to english dictionary program for Ubuntu?
[05:14] <sethk> nny_, I understand your reasoning, but, if the line for xp didn't change, then nothing else in grub.conf should make any difference (menu.lst, actually, but you know what I mean)
[05:14] <yairgo`> sethk im not getting a grub prompt at all, when the cd starts i just have a menu with the other options command, which has a boot line, "boot=casper initrd=/casper/initrd.gz ramdisk_size=1048576 root=/dev/hda2 rw quiet splash --"
[05:14] <UbuntuJulez> enabled commercial option..still no opera
[05:14] <orbin> agro1986: i've been looking for one for yonks
[05:14] <cam> dfcarney, tx
[05:14] <bigbill52a> with this latest ubuntu...dont use windows much anymore....everything is read in ubuntu...even my old logitch 510 camera
[05:14] <sethk> yairgo`, ok, what you want to do is use that command line but add the nodma thing I gave you.  which may or may not help, but you definitely need everything on the line plus the nodma flag
[05:14] <nny_> sethk yeah, but it has to be something stupid, it managed to edit out the line for the partition during the package install process, and it worked *right before that, as in rebooted, picked ubuntu, booted, apt-get.. broke
[05:15] <dfcarney> cam: in general, everything after the username is considered arguments that, depending on your shell, may be interpreted as commands.
[05:15] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell UbuntuJulez about opera
[05:15] <sethk> nny_, if the line was somehow changed, then it is possible.  is it possible another version of grub was written to the mbr?
[05:15] <dfcarney> cam: so you've got to be careful with long commands (that involve escape sequences).  simple commands should be no problem, however.
[05:15] <UbuntuJulez> madpilot, thanks but have already tried that
[05:16] <nny_> sethk nah any chanegs i make to menu.lst reflect in grub
[05:16] <Strykyr> is ubotu some sort of bot?
[05:16] <sethk> nny_, that says nothing about whether a different version of grub was installed
[05:16] <UbuntuJulez> ubotou, tell Madpilot he didn't read my first line
[05:16] <orbin> agro1986: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=131719
[05:16] <cam> dfcarney, according to the man, I did a su - user 'long command with escape' . it's working :) tx
[05:16] <nny_> sethk iw ould think not with apt-get install nvidia-common nvidia-glx
[05:17] <cam> oops, su - user -c 'command'
[05:17] <Madpilot> UbuntuJulez, actually, I did miss it - but the info on that wiki page does work to get Opera installed via Add/Remove Apps
[05:17] <dfcarney> cam: glad to help
[05:17] <bruenig> UbuntuJulez, If you want, I could give you my sources.list via pastebin, kind of a lot for one package, but I understand how people get when it comes to their browsers
[05:17] <yairgo`> when i add the nodma flag, i get thekernel panic screen right after it loads casper/initrd, and actually i just tried it again after the -- and its halting at mounting root file system
[05:17] <UbuntuJulez> i wonder if i just dont have certain repos turned on
[05:17] <UbuntuJulez> and if that is case; what is the easiest way to change them? i really did think i had them all on
[05:18] <UbuntuJulez> !repos
[05:18] <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
[05:18] <Madpilot> UbuntuJulez, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser
[05:18] <sethk> yairgo`, that's interesting.  I most likely result was that the behavior would not change.  I'm not sure what it means, though
[05:18] <nny_> sethk so root (hd0,5) or (hd0,6) is /dev/hda6 ?
[05:19] <sethk> yairgo`, when you tell it to not use dma, it should go to PIO mode which is somewhat slower but a bit less delicate.  The command line is identical except for the dma thing?
[05:19] <tritium> UbuntuJulez: opera is in a new "commercial" repo
[05:19] <sethk> nny_, right
[05:19] <sethk> nny_, 0,5 is hda6
[05:19] <nny_> sethk thought so
[05:19] <sethk> nny_, 0 is a, 0,0 is hda1, 0,1 is hda2, etc.
[05:20] <orbin> agro1986: looks like stardict is the best choice
[05:20] <reza1990> hello
[05:20] <yairgo`> sethk i went to text mode and i get a boot: line?
[05:20] <UbuntuJulez> thanks, the instructions on the website are wrong then
[05:20] <nny_> sethk once i update menu.lst i should just be able to reboot right?
[05:20] <bigbill52a> so i have ubuntu/kubuntu on two machines..one very new and one very old....
[05:20] <Schumi> how do you save over a read only file?
[05:20] <agro1986> orbin: still loading the ubuntuforums... btw check this out: ftp://ftp.ac-grenoble.fr/ge/languages/babylon_dict/ (haven't tried it myself, though)

[05:21] <mistform> I can't get my yahoo profile to work on ayttm
[05:21] <bruenig> UbuntuJulez, I used that for my sources.list, it has a lot of extra repos
[05:21] <Schumi> Orbin: what was the gedit command that opened the xorg file to where I could save over it even though it's read only?
[05:21] <tritium> scabootssca: please do away with your auto-away notice
[05:22] <bruenig> sudo gedit
[05:22] <nny_> sethk  error 12 "invalid device requested"
[05:22] <scabootssca> sorry
[05:22] <tritium> no problem
[05:22] <orbin> Schumi: gksudo 'gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf'
[05:22] <sethk> nny_, that sounds like there is no /dev/hda6
[05:22] <nny_> 
[05:22] <sethk> nny_, do fdisk -l /dev/hda,  see what partitions are there
[05:22] <yairgo`> sethk is there a possibility that its reading my sata drive as hda instead of my master ide drive?
[05:22] <Schumi> how is it that that lets me save over the read only, yet when I open it like normal in gedit it says I cant do it?
[05:23] <sethk> yairgo`, it's possible, yes.
[05:23] <sethk> yairgo`, I have run into one case where that happened.
[05:23] <spotter> Schumi, you were not 'root' then...
[05:23] <reza1990> is grub
[05:23] <sethk> yairgo`, disconnect the sata drive (if you can) as a test

[05:23] <yairgo`> sethk well its now unplugged lol

[05:24] <Schumi> I'm doing the modification for dual monitiors. Hopefully I got this right, or else ,,,

[05:24] <yairgo`> sethk and it is still locking up at Mounting root file system..., it said Loading essential drivers... OK so i dunno i give up
[05:24] <cowmilk> ok
[05:25] <cowmilk> i'm glad you told me, coz i was trying by a bit of brute force, sethk
[05:25] <UbuntuJulez> ubuntu's gnucash package is now outdated
[05:25] <UbuntuJulez> 2.0 came out last month
[05:25] <sethk> cowmilk, it's a zif socket (zero insertion force).  you never use any force on the newer processors.  the pins are very delicate
[05:25] <cowmilk> whatt is "it"? any processor?
[05:25] <sethk> cowmilk, of course, you could try a blow torch  :)
[05:25] <nny_> GD.. this sucks, this is my work laptop, i am busy as he** and an apt-get breaks ALL OSes... ubuntu needs to rethink ANYTHING editing grub !
[05:25] <nny_> BS i swear
[05:25] <sethk> cowmilk, "it" is the processor socket, yes
[05:26] <cowmilk> ok
[05:26] <tritium> nny_: works fine here.  What's the problem?
[05:26] <cowmilk> i wish there were pictures on how to do this, on the net.
[05:26] <cowmilk> but with you kind people here, that's not really essential
[05:26] <sethk> cowmilk, I'm sure there are.
[05:26] <cowmilk> i wish i coudl find them
[05:26] <nny_> tritium it worked fine here to a simple apt-get for nvidia drivers warped grub...
[05:26] <sethk> cowmilk, go to the mobo manufactuer's site
[05:26] <nny_> until*
[05:27] <tritium> nny_: installation of nvidia drivers doesn't touch grub, though
[05:27] <nny_> tritium you'd think
[05:27] <cowmilk> sethk: how do i know the mobo company? is it written on the mobo itself?
[05:27] <tritium> nny_: No, I'm serious.  None of the pre- or post- install scripts do anything to grub
[05:27] <nny_> tritium apt-get install nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel-common for agp stuff does :\
[05:27] <Schumi> yea.. that didn't work. Im on my laptop now..
[05:27] <nny_> tritium ok it's the boogeyman than :P
[05:27] <dfcarney> tritium: i suppose that it's possible that the nvidia driver installation wants a boot option in-place.
[05:28] <Schumi> looks like I gotta redo teh xconf file
[05:28] <tritium> dfcarney: nope, I've done the installation several times
[05:28] <nny_> no it adds a kernel with the diff agp module
[05:28] <tritium> nny_: what is wrong with your grub config now?
[05:28] <nny_> seen it happen two or  three times now
[05:28] <dfcarney> tritium: fair enough.  i'm just conjecturing :)
[05:28] <tritium> dfcarney: :)
[05:28] <Schumi> wow that couldn't have worked worse
[05:28] <nny_> tritium not booting /dev/hda6 (win vista)... i need at least one os to function
[05:28] <tritium> nny_: i.e., what makes you certain there's a grub problem?  Perhaps you don't have the proper kernel modules loaded?
[05:29] <nny_> tritium huh?!
[05:29] <Schumi> !xserv
[05:29] <ubotu> I know nothing about xserv - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu

[05:29] <orbin> Schumi: don't tell me you didn't back it up first :)
[05:29] <tritium> Whyvas: don't abuse the bot, please
[05:30] <Schumi> I think there are backup I just don't know how to get to them and replace them
[05:30] <nny_> tritium gah.. i could care less about the linux side of this laptop right now, i need the windows side to work again
[05:30] <Schumi> Im just going to run the config over
[05:30] <nny_> tritium i'll eal with the linux side as usual later
[05:30] <nny_> deal*
[05:30] <spotter> nny_, use a live cd to recover and then nuke and reinstall?
[05:30] <Whyvas> tritium, Please use  a period to end your sentences please.
[05:30] <nny_> spotter what?
[05:30] <nny_> spotter a reinstall is a bad way to fix a problem
[05:30] <Geoffrey2> I cannot get video playback to work properly in Ubuntu...using first totem-xine, and then mplayer, I've seen a consistant pattern of videos looked extremely bright, at times all I get is a bright white screen, like the brightness or contrast are way out of wack...I can watch the same videos in a video player under Windows and have no problem, so I suspect it's not the video files that are at fault
[05:31] <tritium> Whyvas: don't be a smartass, or I'll just have to +q you...
[05:31] <cowmilk> i'm doing the Xubuntu install (via alternate cd/ textt based). How come Network Autoconfiguration failed? Does it mean that I won't be able to get internet access? i have the LAN cable plugged in
[05:31] <spotter> nny_, yes, but you seem to be in a hurry :)
[05:31] <tritium> nny_: what happens when you try to boot windows?  Can you put your /boot/grub/menu.lst on pastebin?
[05:31] <nny_> spotter yeah and it would take 4 hours of resetup after the install
[05:31] <Whyvas> ah yes, the ol' abuse of power
[05:31] <nny_> tritium yes
[05:31] <dauoalagio> hello i have wireless internet on a ubuntu computer with the adapter, and there is an ethernet port in the back of the computer...i was wondering how i could "share" the internet connectiong with an ubuntu laptop
[05:31] <tritium> Whyvas: no, it would be for your attitude.  Please stop.  You've been fairly warned.
[05:32] <nny_> tritium error 12  "invalid device requested"
[05:32] <cowmilk> it says" your network is probably not using the DHCP protocol". but how can i know whether this is the case?
[05:32] <nny_> need to ssh in one sec
[05:32] <Whyvas> tritium, fair enough, good work on those sentences... :)
[05:32] <cowmilk> do most cable internet services NOT use dhcp?
[05:32] <Jack_Sparrow> tritium: What about Super grub or just fdisk to get him his windows back
[05:32] <tritium> Jack_Sparrow: not familiar with Super grub.  If you know about it, go for it.
[05:32] <Asc> Geoffrey2: With mplayer, what video output are you using?
[05:33] <Jack_Sparrow> nny_: There is a super grub repair cd
[05:33] <sethk> cowmilk, most cable modems use DHCP.  and virtually all ISPs use DHCP
[05:33] <tritium> Whyvas: give it a rest
[05:33] <dfcarney> cowmilk: your ethernet card is directly connected to a cable modem?
[05:33] <cowmilk> dfcarney: nope.
[05:33] <Jack_Sparrow> runs live and checks for valid windows and linux partitions and builds a new menu
[05:33] <Whyvas> tritium, ok.
[05:33] <cowmilk> dfcarney: it's connected via ethernet hub
[05:34] <nny_> wait.. understand the partition is there... grub refuses to boot it... i can boot linux, just no X for the moment (i run XGL, don't ask)
[05:34] <cowmilk> but the other cable that is connected to the hub can do the internet
[05:34] <dfcarney> cowmilk: a hub?  not a router?
[05:34] <Jack_Sparrow> k..
[05:34] <spotter> dauoalagio, possibly with iptables, but i dont know enough about that
[05:34] <tritium> nny_: I'll be back shortly.
[05:35] <Schumi> ok rebooting... I think its gonna werk
[05:35] <sethk> dauoalagio, there are some how-to docs on the 'net for that.
[05:35] <Jack_Sparrow> nny_: SO your primary interest is getting Linux or XP back
[05:35] <Jack_Sparrow> See you in a bit tritium
[05:35] <Schumi> yes.
[05:35] <Schumi> ok try #2
[05:36] <cowmilk> dfcarney: well from the wall comes a round cable. that round cable goes into a modem. then it connects to a router. the router connects to an ethernet hub. thee hub connects to the back of the computer
[05:36] <dfcarney> cowmilk: if it indeed a router (or gateway) then a simple way to check whether or not it has DHCP enabled is to use something like 'sudo dhclient eth0' and watch the output.  if there's something handing out DHCP addresses, you should see an answer.
[05:36] <dauoalagio> sethk: what do i search for
[05:36] <sethk> dauoalagio, connection sharing I would think.  You have to set up NAT for the laptop, with IPTables
[05:36] <Geoffrey2> Asc, where would I find that setting?
[05:37] <cowmilk> dfcarney: but i have not intstalled ubuntu on the windows box yet
[05:37] <dfcarney> cowmilk: from windows use 'ipconfig /renew'
[05:37] <nny_> http://pastebin.ca/111062
[05:37] <cowmilk> dfcarney: ok
[05:37] <nny_> i am cleaning up the huge amount of crap fromt he last apt-get
[05:37] <Asc> geoffrey2: if you use the console to start mplayer, it will tell you what its using when the video starts.
[05:38] <cowmilk> will thatt Win command work on win98_
[05:38] <dauoalagio> sethk: okay thanks
[05:38] <cowmilk> ?
[05:38] <dfcarney> cowmilk: i have no idea.
[05:38] <Jack_Sparrow> should
[05:38] <dfcarney> cowmilk: probably.
[05:38] <cowmilk> ok
[05:38] <Schumi> does xchat keep logs?
[05:38] <mist_> it can, if you set it up to
[05:38] <Recks> Does anyone know of a site that lists all the winamp .nsv streams?
[05:38] <dfcarney> cowmilk: odds are you'll need to setup TCP/IP networking on the ethernet card and enable some setting that says 'Obtain an IP address automatically'
[05:39] <nny_> hmm i see thie issue
[05:39] <nny_> crap
[05:39] <spotter> Recks, shoutcast.com i believe
[05:39] <cowmilk> dfcarney: how do i set that tcp/ip networking up?
[05:39] <mist_> DHCP automatically configures IP, unlike static IP's
[05:39] <cowmilk> on ubuntu?
[05:39] <cowmilk> or while still in Windows98(which will be removed when i install xubuntu)
[05:40] <Wishakos> anyone knows a good program to downloads music tracks except nicotine and limewire?
[05:40] <dfcarney> cowmilk: on ubuntu?  should be handled automatically, as far as I know.  in Windows98?  i'm not sure.  it's been years since i used it.
[05:40] <nny_> nm still broken
[05:40] <Recks> spotter: I'll look around there again but I don't believe they have the video streams listed there
[05:40] <Jack_Sparrow> frostwire
[05:40] <mist_> on win98, go to Control Panel > Network and Dial Up connections
[05:40] <Asc> geoffrey2: The line that indicates what output driver you're using reads like: VO: [xv]  704x384 => 704x384 Planar YV12... probably with different values though
[05:40] <J-_> what's a good gui ftp program?
[05:40] <spotter> Recks, ah..i dont know about those, but some are listed on the winamp site too...
[05:40] <cowmilk> dfcarney: so do you recommend that i go ahead with my Xubuntu install and just tell the installer to not configure dhcp at this time?
[05:40] <Wishakos> anyone knows a good program to downloads music tracks except nicotine and limewire?
[05:41] <Jack_Sparrow> frostwire
[05:41] <mist_> Wishakos: I know that Morpheus is good for windows, but idk if it's on LInux
[05:41] <dfcarney> cowmilk: i'm not recommending anything :)
[05:41] <Wishakos> on linux anything?
[05:41] <Geoffrey2> Asc, am I doing something wrong?  I don't see any line even remotely like that anywhere
[05:41] <thanatos> settling a bet here, will a is there such thing as a AMD 32bit 2.4GHz processor
[05:41] <J-_> what's a good gui ftp program?
[05:41] <dfcarney> cowmilk: can you boot the windows machine with an Ubuntu Live CD?
[05:41] <Wishakos> anyone knows a good program for linux to downloads music tracks except nicotine and limewire?
[05:41] <Jack_Sparrow> !frostwire > Wishakos
[05:41] <dfcarney> cowmilk: at the very least, that'll give you a good idea whether or not installing ubuntu will be successful
[05:41] <cowmilk> dfcarney: i can, but it's super slow
[05:41] <J-_> !ftp
[05:41] <ubotu> FTP clients: gftp, konqueror, kbear, nautilus. FTP servers: ftpd, proftpd, pure-ftpd, twoftpd, vsftpd
[05:41] <spotter> thanatos, dont believe so...most amd's are 64 bit
[05:42] <scythe> anybody been able to write to a ntfs partition using dapper?
[05:42] <dfcarney> cowmilk: well, i recommend that...or figuring out the Win98 settings to verify that your ethernet card works first.
[05:42] <sethk> I think there might be a 2.4 gig 32 bit amd
[05:42] <Jack_Sparrow> scythe: Not advised
[05:42] <Asc> geoffrey2: put the outpit in pastebin - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[05:42] <dfcarney> cowmilk: the trick to debugging: change only one thing at a time.
[05:42] <cowmilk> dfcarney: ok. i idd ipconfig in win98
[05:42] <nny_> sethk fixed.. :\
[05:43] <dfcarney> cowmilk: and?  did you get an ip address?
[05:43] <dfcarney> cowmilk: can you ping anything?
[05:43] <scythe> not able!
[05:43] <cowmilk> yes,
[05:43] <Jack_Sparrow> scythe: you can enable experimental write to NTFS using the diskmounter script but you have been warned
[05:43] <dfcarney> cowmilk: nice.
[05:43] <cowmilk> for 1 i got ip address
[05:43] <nny_> sethk i 86d the 6 other kernels added and realized that the winodws bootloade ris on dev/hda1 and points to /dev/hda6 :\
[05:43] <sethk> nny_, good, how?
[05:43] <cowmilk> but for 0, i got 0.0.0.0
[05:43] <cowmilk> i can copy and paste, hold on
[05:43] <dfcarney> cowmilk: don't copy and paste
[05:43] <scythe> I cant even read it unless Im root
[05:43] <sethk> nny_, I did say a while back that windows doesn't like to boot from a non-primary partition  :)
[05:43] <dfcarney> cowmilk: you'll likely get kicked off for doing that
[05:43] <Geoffrey2> Asc, when you say console, do you mean starting in a Terminal window?
[05:43] <scythe> that normal as well
[05:44] <nny_> sethk i apologize for any linux is teh sux0r comments, but i still think anything messing with grub can be dangerous
[05:44] <nny_> IMHO
[05:44] <dfcarney> cowmilk: if 1 works, but 0 doesn't then it sounds like your windows machine has two ethernet cards.  try switch the cable to the other one.
[05:44] <sethk> nny_, oh, definitely, but my answer to that is, generally, back up first.
[05:44] <Asc> geoffrey2: yes.  Start one, navigate to the file, and open it with 'mplayer [file name] '
[05:44] <sethk> nny_, ALWAYS have your grub mbr and grub conf file backed up, and /boot/grub directory too, for that matter.
[05:44] <cowmilk> dfcarney: but my computer only has one ethernet card
[05:44] <cowmilk> that's the thing
[05:44] <nny_> sethk heh yeah i have a menu/lst.proper file now
[05:44] <nny_> er menu/lst
[05:44] <nny_> gah not /.. "." !!
[05:44] <dfcarney> cowmilk: well, that's odd :)
[05:45] <dfcarney> cowmilk: man, i hate windows.  so hard to debug.
[05:45] <nny_> ok nuff.. gotta take care of the girl now.. she is prolly gettin po'd (heh see why i was gettin upset?) ttyl thanks sethk, spotter, orbin
[05:46] <spotter> nny_, no prb, glad you didnt take my advice ;)
[05:46] <dfcarney> cowmilk: if you're going to toast your windows machine and install xubuntu then i still recommend that you boot with the Live CD first (and check everything out).  if that doesn't work then it'll be much easier for people on this forum to help you out.
[05:46] <Schumi> is there a way to open gedit as root all the time?
[05:46] <spotter> Schumi, not recommended..
[05:47] <Schumi> well is there a quick way to open it just once from the terminal as root?
[05:47] <Madpilot> Schumi, 'gksudo gedit'
[05:47] <spotter> Schumi, gksudo gedit
[05:48] <Schumi> and so as long as it is opened in that session, it is opened under root?
[05:48] <spotter> yes
[05:48] <mist_> anyone here seen a "SleepyDude" or "Fyrestorm" on here?
[05:48] <Wishakos> how do i use this file?
[05:48] <Wishakos> jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586-rpm.bin
[05:48] <Wishakos> it is the java runtime enviroment
[05:48] <cowmilk> dfcarney: here is the printout on ipconfig on the win98 box that has internet access problem: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19451
[05:48] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell Wishakos about java
[05:49] <Madpilot> Wishakos, no need to mess with the bin files - see your PM from the bot
[05:49] <Wishakos> ok thx a lot
[05:49] <dfcarney> cowmilk: what kind of network are you on?  that's a strange result for card-1
[05:49] <cowmilk> now here is the data for another win98 box, but has internet acess. Both computers are corrected to the same ethernet hub, by the way: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19452
[05:50] <Schumi> ok here goes. im restarting X...
[05:50] <cowmilk> dfcarney: i don't know exactly what network i'm on. all i know is that the other win98 computer connected to the same ethernet hub can do internet
[05:50] <Schumi> and...... no.
[05:50] <cowmilk> dfcarney: ok. let me describe the connection from the wall outlet to the computer:
[05:50] <Schumi> *curses*
[05:50] <dfcarney> cowmilk: ok.
[05:50] <Schumi> *curses alot*
[05:51] <cowmilk> wall outltet-->modem-> router-->hub--> comptuer
[05:51] <cowmilk> and the funny thing was that the comptuer that doesn't have internet access now used to have internet access a day ago, before I tried to install Xubuntu
[05:51] <Schumi> ok well i made backups this time.
[05:52] <dfcarney> cowmilk: sounds fine.  generally, if one computer on a hub works then the other should be able to achieve the same level of connectivity.  it could be that the router or hub is limiting DHCP addresses to a single machine, or that you've got multiple DHCP clients running, or that the first windows machine has messed up networking settings.
[05:52] <Schumi> it there a way to overwrite one file with another in the command line?
[05:52] <Geoffrey2> Asc, ok, here it is..... VO: [xv]  320x240 => 320x240 Planar YV12
[05:52] <dfcarney> cowmilk: i.e. there's a lot that can go wrong.
[05:52] <cowmilk> dfcarney: i'm guessing that it's the last option you wrote (first Windows machine has messed up networking setting
[05:52] <dfcarney> cowmilk: I meant, "...multiple DHCP servers running,..."
[05:53] <cowmilk> dfcarney: i had to install windows again on that  machine, but not on C:/windows, but on C:/winds
[05:53] <dfcarney> cowmilk: yeah, that'd be my guess too.
[05:53] <cowmilk> mabye that's what 0 and 1 are referring, too
[05:53] <cowmilk> but my question is: why can't the Xubuntu Installl fix it up?
[05:53] <cowmilk> or, at least, re-configure it?
[05:54] <dfcarney> cowmilk: xubuntu will not use Windows configuration files at all.  i'm willing to bet that it'll work.
[05:54] <cowmilk> Is the Xubuntu Installer dependent on the Windows setting?
[05:54] <dfcarney> cowmilk: it had better be :)
[05:54] <cowmilk> dfcarney: what?
[05:54] <cowmilk> i don't get it?
[05:54] <dfcarney> cowmilk:  oops -- i read that as "independent"
[05:54] <cowmilk> ok
[05:54] <cowmilk> i got it
[05:54] <dfcarney> cowmilk: yeah -- totally independent.
[05:55] <abasit> is there a deb for network-manager vpnc?
[05:55] <cowmilk> so if XIubutuu installer is independent of Windows settings, why can't the installer configure the dhcp/network settings?
[05:55] <Asc> geoffrey2: Okay.  What kind of file is it?  Try looking under '[_____]  file format detected' and 'selected video codec [____] .  Also, have you tried videos of different types of video?
[05:56] <dfcarney> cowmilk: i never said that it couldn't.  i'm just saying that it's generally better to try and fix your windows install (5 minutes) and verify that it's the problem, as opposed to installing a new OS and then finding out that the problem persists.
[05:56] <cowmilk> dfcarney: when i removed the lan cable from the ethernet card's port, i still get the same results from "ipconfig"
[05:56] <cowmilk> dfcarney: i'd like to try to fix the windows install
[05:57] <dfcarney> cowmilk: i'm not surprised.  it could be the ethernet cable or the port on the hub that's broken.
[05:57] <cowmilk> butt i don't know what to do
[05:57] <Geoffrey2> Asc, ASF file format detected.
[05:57] <Geoffrey2> Asc, Selected video codec: [wmv9dmo]  vfm: dmo (Windows Media Video 9 DMO)
[05:58] <zcat[1] > !dvd
[05:58] <ubotu> See http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html. Libdvdcss can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[05:58] <dfcarney> cowmilk: here are my recommendations (and after this I've got to go).  1. try another Ethernet cable.  2. try another port on the hub.  3. boot with the Live CD.  4. figure out what's messed up in Win98.
[05:58] <Asc> geoffrey2: okay, that might well have something to do with it.  Did you install mplayer from the repositories, or compile it yourself?
[05:59] <dfcarney> i'm guessing that he just switched the cables... *sigh*
[05:59] <spotter> dfcarney, :0
[05:59] <unikon> hey anyone can dapper be used a a live cd i know its a install cd
[05:59] <spotter> unikon, yes
[06:00] <unikon> thank you spotter
[06:00] <spotter> unikon, no prob
[06:00] <Geoffrey2> Asc, I just tried a .mov file, same problem
[06:00] <Asc> geoffrey2: what video codec for the mov?
[06:00] <abasit> anyone on vpnc plugin for nm ? do i need to compile it ?
[06:01] <dfcarney> hey, if cowmilk comes back on can someone tell him that i had to take off?
[06:01] <unikon> during the package install process
[06:02] <cowmilk> dfcarney: it might be the cabe
[06:02] <unikon>  is  vlc media viewer available or is it locked out
[06:02] <cowmilk> cable
[06:02] <dfcarney> cowmilk: ok.
[06:02] <cowmilk> dfcarney: because when i plugged in that cable to this machine, the internet wasn't accessible
[06:02] <cowmilk> time to throw that away.
[06:02] <minerale> I have a printer connected to a ubntu computer, how would I connect a mac computer tor print to it? Samba ?
[06:02] <spotter> unikon, it is available in the repos
[06:03] <dfcarney> cowmilk: sounds plausible.  the other test would be to use the cable currently connected to your machine and see if 'ipconfig /renew' works on the other machine.
[06:03] <tritium> dfcarney: what happened to nny?
[06:03] <Geoffrey2> Asc, Selected video codec: [ffmjpeg]  vfm: ffmpeg (FFmpeg MJPEG decoder)
[06:03] <dfcarney> cowmilk:  i gotta take off.  here are my recommendations (and after this I've got to go).  1. try another Ethernet cable.  2. try another port on the hub.  3. boot with the Live CD.  4. figure out what's messed up in Win98.
[06:03] <tritium> Jack_Sparrow: thanks, saw your message in my away log :)
[06:03] <dfcarney> tritium: no idea.  i think his girlfriend/wife pulled him away.
[06:04] <tritium> dfcarney: ah, okay.  I know you've got to get going.  Thanks...
[06:04] <dfcarney> tritium: yeah, here's his last message: ok nuff.. gotta take care of the girl now.. she is prolly gettin po'd (heh see why i was gettin upset?) ttyl thanks sethk, spotter, orbin
[06:04] <dfcarney> later
[06:04] <mist_> anyone know an image uploading site that works with Linux?
[06:04] <MystaMax> I now have something close to 10 entries @ the kernel selection before ubuntu starts, How do I remove some of those unused listings?
[06:04] <tritium> dfcarney: see you
[06:04] <mist_> like, photobucket.com doesn't work :(
[06:05] <cowmilk> ok
[06:05] <cowmanflex> mist_ why not?
[06:05] <mist_> idfk, man
[06:05] <Geoffrey2> Asc, I did notice this one error message when mplayer starts, Linux RTC init error in ioctl (rtc_irqp_set 1024): Permission denied
[06:05] <mist_> I put it in and it says it's an invalid file
[06:05] <mist_> so I added a .png to the end, which it is
[06:05] <mist_> and it still rejects it
[06:06] <cowmanflex> mist_: weird
[06:06] <TKL> How much space is needed to mirror the ubuntu package archive?
[06:06] <TKL> Or where can I find out?
[06:07] <Asc> gepffrey2: I've got to wonder if it's maybe that the ffmpg wossnames are broken.  Did you compile mplayer yourself or not?
[06:07] <tritium> mist_: file extensions don't matter on linux
[06:07] <Asc> geoffreyw: that error is normal.  I've always gotten it, and mplayer works fine
[06:07] <Geoffrey2> Asc, I installed mplayer from the repo, and then downloaded and installed the essential codec package from mplayer's website
[06:07] <Schumi> ok try # for dual mon config
[06:07] <spotter> mist_, is it too big? (ie..within allowed limits)
[06:07] <Schumi> and no
[06:08] <mist_> whoa... wtf is up w/my nick?
[06:09] <Asc> geoffrey2: Hmm.  I've never tried that before.  Did video work before you installed the codecs?
[06:09] <dibblego> in synaptic, I can view "Installed Files" for a package; how can I do it from the command line?
[06:09] <ruxpin> what's midnight commander or opera called in apt-get repository?
[06:09] <mistform> ok
[06:10] <Geoffrey2> Asc, I was under the impression mplayer couldn't play restricted formats unless the codec package was installed
[06:10] <whistlingfish> I'm almost embarrassed to ask the following questions, but I'd like to get more familiar with the command line. What is the command to delete a file? Is it possible to delete an entire folder and its contents? Is it possible to copy an entire folder and its contents (including hidden files)? Is there a tutorial somewhere that will teach me more about the command line?
[06:10] <spotter> whistlingfish: see man rm
[06:11] <Lwolf> hi,
[06:11] <dibblego> whistlingfish, rm, rm -r, cp -R
[06:11] <whistlingfish> Thanks a bunch, y'all.
[06:12] <tritium> whistlingfish: no need to feel embarassed :)
[06:12] <lumgwada> is there any way on ubuntu's terminals to store ssh session passwords (perhaps similar to the ftp keyring)?
[06:12] <Lwolf> i'm looking for a tool to synchronize my home directory between my computers. I've taken a loop to drsync, but it has bug (fail on empty dirs). does one of you know of such a tool ? thanx
[06:12] <dibblego> lumgwada, man ssh-agent
[06:12] <lumgwada> cheers
[06:12] <cowmilk> guys, do you know anything about ethernet hubs? it seems that when I put in a cable at 1X, i get no intrenet.
[06:12] <cowmilk> only 2-5 works
[06:12] <Asc> geoffrey2: correct.  I'm trying to find out if you have to recompile to use them or not.  I always have, but I'm not sure why, exactly.
[06:13] <Asc> geoffrey2: seems like you shouldn't have to, but the world is a strange, strange place
[06:13] <Schumi> well I tried the simple ways to get the dual mons working... no go. I don't want to put in the time to code the hard way
[06:13] <Lwolf> cowmilk, perhaps 1X is for crossed cables
[06:13] <Schumi> I found a great looking tutorial on it but its nearly the same thing I jsut did and it didnt work
[06:13] <cowmilk> Lwolf: what's crossed cables?
[06:14] <Lwolf> cowmilk, peer to peer ethernet cable :D
[06:14] <Lwolf> Schumi, hum, are you on nvidia ?
[06:14] <cowmilk> Lwolf: you may be right, because on the top of the 1X port, it says "1X" but with a line connecting it to the "Uplink" port
[06:14] <cowmilk> so how is 1X used then?
[06:15] <cowmilk> just as an exetnion cord?
[06:15] <Asc> geoffrey2: Seems unlikely in any case.  The only other thing I can think of it that there might be a problem with your video acceleration device.
[06:15] <Lwolf> cowmilk, i'm not sure of the name, cause it's a translation from french, but basicalic, there is to kind of ethernet cable: normal that connect computers to hub, and crossed that connect computer to computer
[06:15] <Lwolf> cowmilk, to use your 1X port, you have to purchase a "crossed" cable
[06:16] <spotter> a crossover cable
[06:16] <TKL> How much space is needed to mirror the ubuntu package archive? and/or where can I find out?
[06:16] <cowmilk> spotter: i don't get what 1X in my 5 port ethernet hub is for
[06:16] <cowmilk> it has a line connecting it to the uplink. what's the siginfiacance of that
[06:17] <spotter> i think it might be to use a crossover cable or something...lemme see
[06:17] <rredd4> cowmilk  it allows you to connect a computer to another computer
[06:17] <Lwolf> spotter, ok ;) thanx for the info ;)
[06:17] <Geoffrey2> Asc, as video playback is fine in Windows, I'm assuming it would be a driver issue?
[06:17] <cowmilk> rredd4: oh, so you mean, i would then be able to, say, read the files from Computer B while I'm on Computer A?
[06:17] <mistform> could be wrong codecs
[06:18] <Asc> geoffrey2: I assume that as/as part of installing the restricted codecs you installed the 'w32codecs' package?
[06:18] <spotter> cowmilk: http://www.duxcw.com/faq/network/uplink.htm
[06:18] <Geoffrey2> Asc, yes, I did
[06:18] <rredd4> cowmilk yes it would be like having another hard drive on computer a
[06:19] <rredd4> cowmilk computer b usually will allow certain files to be seen
[06:19] <spotter> Lwolf: no problem..we live, we learn..:)
[06:19] <Recks> okay I searched around shoutcast, and winamp's forums and still can't find a list of video streams =-/
[06:19] <mistform> how do I install flash player for FF?
[06:19] <Asc> geoffrey2: Sounds reasonable.  I don't know much about video drivers except that ATI support is a wee bit inadequate
[06:19] <rredd4> cowmilk via permissions
[06:19] <cowmilk> rredd4: that sounds handy
[06:19] <Lwolf> spotter,  ;)
[06:19] <micahcowan> an apt-get dist-upgrade got interrupted, or something, while i was gone. I was upgrading to Edgy (expiremental, I know). Since things didn't complete, some essential files are missing/corrupted, and I don't have a usable system. How can I recover (to dapper or edgy, either)?
[06:19] <rredd4> cowmilk thats why you need a crossover ethernet cable
[06:20] <cowmilk> rredd4: i see
[06:20] <rredd4> cowmilk to connect computer a to computer b
[06:20] <tritium> micahcowan: try apt-get -f install
[06:20] <Wishakos> spotter
[06:20] <Lwolf> can someone help me on home dir synchronisation between computers ?
[06:20] <cowmilk> rredd4: but you know what, the object i'm talking about is an ethernet hub
[06:20] <Wishakos> can u look at this plz
[06:20] <spotter> Wishakos: sure
[06:20] <Wishakos> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19454
[06:21] <Wishakos> where u see strange characters it is greek
[06:21] <Wishakos> meaning no such file/folder
[06:21] <Wishakos> :P
[06:21] <Schumi> damn ubuntu doesn't recognize my motorola v3
[06:21] <rredd4> cowmilk then it must be for hub to hub connection  you have the owners manual?
[06:21] <Wishakos> and spotter i have just installed the latest version of java lol
[06:21] <micahcowan> tritium, how do I do that from a different system (I'm on live CD atm). Is there a way to tell it to do this to a different "root" (I can't even get VTs from boot)?
[06:21] <cowmilk> rredd4: good idea (to read the manual).
[06:21] <rredd4> yeah!
[06:22] <Geoffrey2> cowmilk, if you place both ends of a normal ethernet cable against each other, you'll notice the colored wires match...in the case of a crossover cable, the wires will be "crossed over" from one end to the other
[06:22] <spotter> Wishakos: thats strange...
[06:22] <Wishakos> indeed
[06:22] <Wishakos> and just installed everything needed
[06:22] <mistform> anyone know how to add Flash plugin  for FF?
[06:23] <rredd4> cowmilk 2 wires are flipped in a crossover ethernet cable compared to a standard ethernet cable
[06:23] <spotter> Wishakos: did you install it manually or with synaptic?
[06:23] <Wishakos> apt-get
[06:23] <cowmilk> rredd4: i see
[06:23] <rredd4> cowmilk you can google ethernet cable pinout to see this
[06:23] <Wishakos> unixodbc (2.2.11-11build1) ... sun-java5-jre (1.5.0-06-1) ... sun-java5-bin (1.5.0-06-1) ...

[06:24] <cowmilk> guys, i'm installing Xubuntu on an old Win98 computer. I'm doing the install via text-based installation (alternate cd).
[06:24] <Geoffrey2> cowmilk, that's because, as I remember, one wire is for sending data, and one wire is for receiving it...
[06:24] <gekko`> mistform: http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/web/flashplugin-nonfree paste didn't work on first time
[06:24] <mistform> gekko: yeah?
[06:24] <mistform> lol, ty
[06:24] <cowmilk> I've reached the point where it asks about "partition disks". It gives me 4 options, and i don't know which to choose
[06:25] <cowmilk> option 1: Resize IDE1 master, partition #1 (hda1) and use freed space
[06:25] <lemac> hi
[06:25] <cowmilk> Option 2: Erase entire disk: IDE1 Master (hda) -6.5 gb Samsung ....
[06:25] <computer13137> Hey
[06:25] <spotter> Wishakos: sorry..i have no clue...but try looking at these pages

[06:25] <lemac> there's a way to configure my integrated webcam (i'm on a laptop) on ubuntu ?

[06:26] <rredd4> yes it is

I am trying to login by using lynx, and going to the router's local IP.  That works, but the router's credentials include a blank username.  When I just hit enter on username, lynx gets upset and says it doesn't think I want to login.  It then stops trying and I get an error.  I need to get in and forward a port.  I tried 
[06:27] <rredd4> you have only 98? and no other os installed?
[06:27] <spotter> Wishakos: nope, sorry...you can try searching for something in synaptic though
[06:27] <mcquaid> i know audacity has this feature, but again I want something cmd line

[06:27] <ubotu> I know nothing about dowloading - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[06:27] <Wishakos> lol
[06:28] <micahcowan> chrooting to my root drive and doing apt-get that way seems to be helping
[06:28] <rredd4> cowmilk you have only 98? and no other os installed?
[06:28] <cowmilk> rredd4: sorry. yes. i have only win98
[06:29] <cowmilk> no other os installed, and i'd like to get rid of win98 to save space
[06:29] <Geoffrey2> Asc, I have an onboard Intel video chip (Dell Inspiron 6000)
[06:29] <Wishakos> anyone knows any other progs to download music tracks?excpet frostware and nicotine
[06:29] <lemac> there's a way to configure my integrated webcam (i'm on a laptop) on ubuntu ? if yes.. how ?
[06:29] <rredd4> cowmilk are you sure about getting rid of 98?
[06:29] <cowmilk> rredd4: sure, why not
[06:30] <Woosta> Why on earth am I being asked to "upgrade" firefox from version 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.5-0ubuntu6.06 to version 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.5-0ubuntu6.06.1????
[06:30] <cowmilk> there's nothing in win98 that i can't do in xubuntu/ubuntu
[06:30] <Asc> geoffrey2: 'glxinfo | grep rendering' - direct rendering enabled?
[06:30] <cowmilk> i think
[06:30] <computer13137> I guess what I am asking for, is another text-based browser, that will enable me to use a blank username to login to something.
[06:30] <computer13137> Thanks!
[06:30] <Geoffrey2> Asc, yes
[06:31] <cowmilk> that box has only 6 gb. and i can decide about keeping win98 on my other 12 gb computer
[06:31] <cowmilk> rredd4: so i wonder which option i should choose. I'm guessing option 2 "Erase Entire Disk"
[06:31] <rredd4> cowmilk then choose option #2   confirm this with other users
[06:31] <computer13137> brb
[06:31] <cowmilk> Other users, please confirm rredd4's suggestion
[06:31] <Diggy> this i am sure is a stupid question... but if i were trying to use the terminal to move a folder from my desktop to a filesystem... what command would i use?
[06:32] <Leeif> mv
[06:32] <spotter> computer13137: try this list http://www.itp.uni-hannover.de/~kreutzm/en/lin_browser.html
[06:32] <Asc> geoffrey2: although the odds of that having anything to do with the problem are minor.  mplayer seems to be working okay....
[06:32] <spotter> Diggy: cp

[06:33] <rob138> hi, i just did a "cp -rv /directory1/* /directory2/"  and out of 10233 files, 10065 were copied, what would prevent the ones that didn't get copied to be not be copied?
[06:33] <gekko`> limewire
[06:33] <Asc> geoffrey2:  Uh.  If it's a contrast problem, there might be a problem with mplayer's brightness and contrast.... the keys 1 and 2 adjust contrast, 3 and 4 adjust brightness
[06:33] <nalioth> !tell Diggy about cli
[06:33] <mistform> can you search within them, or are they torrent-only programs like BitTorrent, or Azeurus?
[06:34] <Leeif> does anyone know how to install msi files with cedega?
[06:35] <Asc> geoffrey2:  Unless that was pre-broken though it shouldn't be a problem.  It seems like a codec problem, so you might try removing and reinstalling everything.  Other that that I'm out of ideas.
[06:35] <rob138> hi, i just did a "cp -rv /directory1/* /directory2/"  and out of 10233 files, 10065 were copied, what would prevent the ones that didn't get copied to be not be copied?
[06:36] <rredd4> cowmilk  I just asked in #xubuntu  they said #2 to erase entire disk
[06:37] <Angcrist> rob: symbolic links maybe?  or files your account doesn't have permission to read?
[06:37] <rob138> angcrist, okay
[06:37] <Woosta> Anyone know why on earth am I being asked to "upgrade" firefox from version 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.5-0ubuntu6.06 to version 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.5-0ubuntu6.06.1????
[06:38] <blinker> I need to know how to enable SHMConfig for synclient (trying to turn touchpad mouse-click feature off)
[06:38] <Asc> woosta: probably because the second one has a .1 on the end?  Probably it was revised in some way.
[06:38] <Geoffrey2> Asc, blow away everything in the codecs folder as well?
[06:39] <Woosta> Asc: yeah .. like .. they fixed a typo in the description or something .. it's not a firefox upgrade, it MIGHT be a package update .. but that's crazy
[06:39] <bucketfan99> yo yo
[06:39] <bucketfan99> What packages under ubunutu contain openssl devel stuff like ssl.h
[06:39] <bucketfan99> i can't seem to find them in the package list.
[06:40] <Asc> geoffrey2: I'd recommend doing everything via the package manager unless you *know* the folder was empty before you started.
[06:40] <shawnr_> bucketfan99, aptitude f10 search "ssl", or synaptic search "ssl"
[06:43] <Terminus> bucketfan99: just guessing, maybe libssl-dev.
[06:43] <rob138> angcrist, is there anyway to search for these symbolic links or root files?
[06:43] <Asc> woosta: There is something of a tendency to have us download stuff unecessarily.  I'm trying to figure out a way to remove items from the update manager, but there doesn't seem to be an option for i
[06:43] <Asc> *t
[06:43] <bucketfan99> ah . libssl-dev
[06:43] <bucketfan99> i was hung up trying to find someting with the word open in it
[06:43] <bucketfan99> thanks ;)
[06:44] <Woosta> Yeah, I decided that to shut the thing up, I'd just install it .. I just wanted to bitch about it at the same time :)
[06:44] <knapper> hey, in D4x (Downloader for X), how can I limit it to just one download at a time?
[06:46] <Diggy> thanks nalioth
[06:48] <rob138> can somehone help me find the files that didn't go through? i just did a "cp -rv /directory1/* /directory2/"  and out of 10233 files, 10065 were copied
[06:51] <lukaswayne9> what's the command to bring up the GNOME time adjustment
[06:52] <blinker> lukaswayne9:  right click the time
[06:52] <lukaswayne9> yeah, i know how to do that, it's just it's not working.  is there a command for it?
[06:53] <blinker> probably, but i don't know much command line stuff yet
[06:54] <ballpointcarrot> lukaswayne9: the 'date' command can change the system time.  'man date' for more info.
[06:55] <Madpilot> lukaswayne9, rightclick->Adjust Time & Date doesn't work
[06:55] <Madpilot> ?
[06:55] <tich> so i have done probably the dumbest thing and deleted my computer name (xxxx-laptop) and i have no idea how to fix it. can anyone help?

[06:56] <alyus> Hi guys/gals!  I have a quick (hopefully) kernel config question I was hoping someone could help me with
[06:56] <mistform> what image hosting site should I use?
[06:56] <mistform> I can't get Photobucket or Imageshack to work for some reason
[06:56] <nalioth> mistform: the pastebin in the /topic hosts images
[06:56] <Geoffrey2> Asc, would I want xmms-xmmplayer?
[06:56] <ballpointcarrot> alyus: ask away.
[06:56] <blinker> mistform: flickr is a good alternative
[06:57] <tich> nalioth, okay i'll give that a try.
[06:58] <Asc> geoffrey2: xmms is a mostly-decent winamp clone.  I use it, but only because I don't like the alternatives.
[06:58] <alyus> I get the following error from dmesg | grep fglrx   :
[06:58] <alyus> [fglrx]  Internal AGP support requested, but kernel AGP support active.
[06:58] <alyus> I am compiling a new kernel, but am unsure what exactly I should disable.
[06:59] <Asc> geoffrey2: I have to have the computer off in sixty seconds, so I'm out.  Sorry I wasn't more help, and good luck with that.
[07:00] <ballpointcarrot> alyus: you need to disable the kernel agpgart support.  if you can make it into a module, i'd do that.

[07:01] <alyus> poking around in there now :)
[07:03] <alyus> "dev/agpgart" set as module?
[07:04] <ballpointcarrot> i believe so.
[07:04] <ballpointcarrot> yes.
[07:05] <ballpointcarrot> alyus: was it compiled into kernel before?
[07:05] <pup> hi, i think i forgot to "unmount" my usb camera the last time i unplugged it, and now it doesn't bring up the picture screen when i plug it back in... anyone know what process i should try restarting?
[07:06] <alyus> I believe it was.  I loaded xconfig with values from old (default) configuration.  Wondeing if I should remove the 'ati radeon' part completely since I'm planning on using ati's installer
[07:07] <ballpointcarrot> shouldn't matter if it's a module.  it will let fglrx sit inside instead.
[07:07] <Overand> my friend is complaining about his display being 640x480 - is tehre a GUIish way to change rez?  I sent him to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto just to check
[07:07] <Overand> all of my current ubuntu machines are headless or in use on a different OS, so I can't help him out with a walkthrough
[07:07] <tich> nalioth, i can't seem to figure it out. do you have any other info on how to reset it?
[07:07] <xerophyte> how can i find out the refresh rate for my screen in gnome ??
[07:08] <alyus> okay! I'll give it a  shot!
[07:08] <ballpointcarrot> Overand: System > preferences > Screen Resolution is available, but it might not have other options.  it depends on his xorg.conf file.
[07:08] <nalioth> tich: you'll probably have to boot into a rescue terminal
[07:08] <rredd4> Overand  system menu, Preferences menu, screen resolution
[07:10] <tich> nalioth, yes i am there. i just don't quite follow the man page i guess... how do i reset the name?
[07:10] <alyus> thanks so much ballpointcarrot
[07:10] <ballpointcarrot> no prob :)
[07:11] <nalioth> tich: 'hostname $YOUR_HOSTNAME' <enter>
[07:14] <Overand> rredd4, ballpointcarrot: i thought there was something that straightforward
[07:14] <Subdee> hello. after upgrading from breezy to dapper, most message boxes and balloons don't display my Greek characters correctly. what could have gone wrong?
[07:14] <Geoffrey2> ok, I give up...I guess I'll just have to stick to using Windows for restricted format codecs
[07:14] <Overand> I love helping out my cluebie friends
[07:14] <Overand> seriously
[07:15] <rredd4> Overand  if you don't see the different resolutions in gui screen resolution screen, then you have to go to console and type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"  and select the desirec resolutions there
[07:15] <Overand> Just pasted him that little list, and he said
[07:15] <Overand> er, I siad "did you go there?"
[07:15] <Overand> he said "yeah".  I said "And..?"  he said:  "I'm retarded.  heh"
[07:15] <rredd4> Overand disrec= disired
[07:15] <tich> nalioth, well i think that reset the name but it doesn't seem to have solved the problem. when i loaded the session it still popped up with a warning.
[07:15] <rredd4> desired
[07:16] <nalioth> tich: you reset the hostname in a rescue session?
[07:16] <Warbo> Anyone know which files/directories I need to backup in order to move a BOINC setup between installations? Is it just /var/lib/boinc-client (and should I move that to the new installation before or after installing the package, taking into account dpkg's dislike of overwriting files?)?
[07:16] <Overand> rredd4: my guess is that he's just set to the wrong rez, and I was *pretty sure* that ubuntu had a gui way to change rez, but like I said, i've got no workstations up right now with GUIs
[07:17] <Warbo> There is a resolution changing dialog, but it only switches between those already in xorg.conf, and it is pretty dodgy for those anyway
[07:17] <kakalto> My locales are a bit weird, any ideas what I could do to fix it? should I post a bug report?
[07:17] <tich> nalioth, yep. when i rebooted i chose rescue mode (or whatever it is called) and it dropped me at a root prompt.
[07:17] <Overand> Warbo: yeah, I'm going to get him to do a dpkg-reconfigure
[07:17] <nalioth> tich: then you need to restart into normal mode
[07:18] <blinker> yes, there is a way to change res: System -> Preferences ->change screen res
[07:18] <rredd4> Overand  the gui screen resolution selection look at the xorg.conf file.   Only way I know how to change xorg.conf is through console, by a command, or manually edit xorg.conf
[07:18] <tich> nalioth, if i type exit it boots into ubuntu, or does it need a complete reboot?
[07:18] <rredd4> blinker  that is only if xorg.conf has those resolutions
[07:18] <Overand> shdfjklasd
[07:18] <Warbo> Will moving configs from /var/lib from one installation to another mess anything up? I want to move across BOINC (/var/lib/boinc-client)
[07:18] <Overand> rredd4: it's not my machine
[07:18] <nalioth> tich: i suggest a complete one
[07:18] <blinker> ah
[07:19] <Overand> otherwise this problem would be solved
[07:19] <blinker> havent played with it, res is fine on here, heh
[07:19] <rredd4> Overand yes i saw that!
[07:19] <bruenig> do 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' when you get to the screen resolution part just make sure you include that resolution you intend to use
[07:19] <ballpointcarrot> Subdee: you'll want to reinstall the language-pack-el-base package.
[07:19] <Overand> I'm helping my friend (who is too clueless to give me an acct and forward a port) and who apparently hasn't learned how to copy and paste the errors he's describing in broken english
[07:19] <Overand> grr
[07:19] <Subdee> ok i'll give it a shot ballpointcarrot . thanks
[07:19] <tich> nalioth, okay. i'll do that.
[07:20] <rredd4> Overand  broken english  sounds like loads of fun!!
[07:20] <Overand> and he's born-and-raised
[07:20] <ballpointcarrot> Subdee: there might be others that you'll want too... type this in a command line: sudo apt-cache search lang | grep Greek
[07:20] <Overand> in the US
[07:20] <rredd4> Overand  thought about  ssh?
[07:21] <Subdee> ballpointcarrot, so i'm assuming that they all got overwritten during the upgrade? i have a good idea of which  ones are needed. thanks!
[07:22] <Perseid0> Hi. Now here's a silly question for ya: I'm trying to get an xmodmap to run at startup, so I have a script file in .kde/Autostart. I did chmod +x it but it stll loads in Kate instead of executing.

[07:23] <rredd4> mistform  a lot of internet server are linux
[07:23] <ballpointcarrot> Warbo: read: Apache?
[07:24] <Warbo> ballpointcarrot: But Apache works on BSD and stuff too. Stupid FLOSS and their compatibility

[07:25] <jn> how do i edit gnome-volume mgr
[07:26] <Warbo> My network speed is about the same, but Windows would have me believe that my 1Mb/sec connection is 2Mb/sec for some reason

[07:28] <abhinay> Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.
[07:28] <Subdee> ballpointcarrot, it seems to just be the volume control applet and the home folder shortcut from my top panel that show question marks. the other applets display Greek fine when you hover over them
[07:29] <Subdee> i've already installed it and reinstalled it
[07:29] <bruenig> abhinay, but did it open?
[07:29] <abhinay> bruenig: not opened
[07:29] <Warbo> abhinay: That usually happens for me as well. It is just a warning, not an error
[07:29] <jn> Warbo: how do i change settings in gnome volume mgr
[07:29] <jn> jn@jn-laptop:~$ gnome-volume-manager
[07:29] <jn> (gnome-volume-manager:12455): Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by Xlib
[07:30] <ballpointcarrot> Subdee: maybe the translations are made incomplete.  other than that, you should have all of the greek language support packages.
[07:30] <Warbo> jn: I would REALLY like to know that myself :) Whenever anybody has a mounting problem I have to tell them to add stuff to fstab (not ideal for removable drives)
[07:30] <tich> nalioth, i rebooted but it didn't work... the warning says: could not look up internet address for xxxx-laptop....
[07:30] <bruenig> abhinay, tell me if this opens something "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list"
[07:30] <KnowledgEngi> hello
[07:30] <Warbo> hi
[07:30] <Subdee> it must be the translations. i should've checked, i am part of the translation team!!! thanks for your help
[07:30] <KnowledgEngi> someone know how can i register a nick ?
[07:31] <Warbo> !freenode
[07:31] <ubotu> freenode is the IRC network that you're on! See http://freenode.net/faq.shtml
[07:31] <abhinay> bruenig: not working
[07:31] <nalioth> tich: i'm all out of ideas   :(
[07:31] <nalioth> !tell KnowledgEngi about register
[07:32] <abhinay> Warbo: yes, it is a warning, but gedit is not opening
[07:32] <Warbo> abhinay: Then something else is the problem, since that cannot cause Gedit to malfunction
[07:33] <ballpointcarrot> abhinay: does gedit open on it's own?
[07:33] <tich> nalioth, thnx.
[07:33] <mistform> the internet was working way faster than this on my girlfriends P3 laptop with Win2k
[07:33] <mdirc> OpenSSH 4.2p1 sshd_config in ubuntu does not allow the PermitTunnel, and ssh_config allow Tunnel option. I need tunneling how do I enable it? TIA

[07:33] <jn> jn@jn-laptop:/mnt/ipod$ mkdir hi
[07:33] <jn> mkdir: cannot create directory `hi': No space left on device
[07:33] <jn> what gives
[07:33] <mistform> it takes around 10 seconds to connect a server, let alone load the page
[07:33] <bruenig> abhinay, try this to see if there is some problem with sudoing 'gksudo nautilus'
[07:34] <nalioth> jn: you are out of space on your drive
[07:34] <nalioth> jn: delete some unused cruft
[07:34] <Warbo> jn: Maybe a permission problem (works for me though)
[07:34] <jn> thats not true
[07:34] <jn> i have 14+ gigs free
[07:34] <mdirc> OpenSSH 4.2p1 sshd_config in ubuntu doesn't allow the PermitTunnel, and ssh_config doesn't allow Tunnel option. I need tunneling how do I enable it? TIA
[07:34] <jn> 3839875/7301320 clusters
[07:34] <Warbo> jn: You need at least 51GB to make an empty folder, everyone knows that :)
[07:35] <ballpointcarrot> jn: stupid question, but are you sure that /dev/sda2 points to /mnt/ipod?
[07:35] <jn> yes
[07:35] <ballpointcarrot> okay.
[07:35] <Warbo> jn: I thought it was /media/ipod?
[07:36] <jn> maybe it is full..
[07:36] <Warbo> Is there a text file which lists what packages are installed? (commands like "dpkg -l" will not help me)
[07:36] <kakalto> how can I remove certain locales from my system?
[07:37] <Warbo> kakalto: Package manager?
[07:37] <bruenig> mistform, your girlfriend's laptop was connected to the same modem that you are connected to now?
[07:37] <kakalto> nvm, ubotu has it ;)
[07:37] <kakalto> Warbo: doubt it
[07:37] <kakalto> thanks anyway
[07:37] <KnowledgEngi> exist some software that convert non-free video to free-video format ?
[07:37] <mistform> bruenig: yes, it was
[07:37] <Warbo> |sudo aptitude remove language-support-XX"
[07:37] <mistform> and hers was wireless, this isn't wireless
[07:37] <lmosher> I'm trying to compile wine and this is giving me a headache: "checking for GL/glx.h... no" (and other GL header files)
[07:37] <lmosher> what package do I need to install to get GL header files?
[07:38] <Warbo> Oops, " not | (stuck in US keyboard layout)
[07:38] <bruenig> mistform, were they the same pages, as the lag in speed could be related to the server you are downloading from
[07:38] <Warbo> lmosher: Get some -dev packages which seem relevant (mesa and stuff)
[07:38] <ballpointcarrot> Warbo: used to another kb layout?
[07:38] <rob138> how come my 250GB usb drive is only showing up as 232?
[07:39] <Overand> rob138: manufactures call 250"gigs" 250,000,000 bytes
[07:39] <Warbo> lmosher: Try "sudo apt-get build-dep wine" to install the dependencies needed to build WINE, without actually installing WINE itself
[07:39] <Overand> which is 1000*1000
[07:39] <Overand> in the 'real world' it's 1024*1024
[07:39] <rob138> Overand, so i really only have 230?
[07:39] <Warbo> ballpointcarrot: En-GB (I just pressed enter on the CD's boot menu)
[07:39] <Overand> rob138: yep
[07:39] <bruenig> 250,000,000,000 isn't it?
[07:39] <Overand> bruenig: probably
[07:39] <Overand> I'm drinking SAKe
[07:39] <Overand> yeah
[07:39] <Overand> thgat's a 250 meg
[07:39] <Overand> heh
[07:40] <Overand> 22:39 -!- Irssi: 250000000000/1024/1024/1024 = 232.83064365387
[07:40] <Overand> yeah
[07:40] <Overand> that's it
[07:40] <ballpointcarrot> Overand: decimal problems...?
[07:40] <rob138> Overand, okay, well it's at /dev/sbd1/ and under the HD, it has a second partition /dev/sbd2/ that is at /media/ipod i think because i also plugin my ipod at the same slot, is there something i should change?
[07:40] <Overand> ballpointcarrot: what's a few orders of magnitude between friends, eh?
[07:40] <ballpointcarrot> heh
[07:40] <thorsten> hi
[07:40] <lmosher> Warbo, ty for the build-dep tip.. wow that's a LOT of dev packages :P
[07:41] <snoops> gosh I hope more programs and such start using the GiB convention instead of GB
[07:41] <ballpointcarrot> anyone else wish they'd put build-essential on the install cd?
[07:41] <Warbo> lmosher: It is useful, but only works when a deb-src package is already in Ubuntu. Problem is, most people compiling source are getting something outside Ubutnu :)
[07:42] <Overand> my first hard drive was 40 megs
[07:42] <thorsten> i am thinking about cross-upgrading from debian unstable to ubuntu. reason would be that there are packages in ubuntu which are built for 686, not 386. is this right, and apart from that, would it be doable by apt-getting the packages? in the FAQ, it seems to be not too hard, though they describe the way from woody to warty, not from sid to hoary...
[07:42] <bruenig> ballpointcarrot, if you are going to use build-essential, you are likely downloading programs from the internet, i.e. a quick sudo apt-get build-essential should not be a problem
[07:42] <rob138> what would not be copied in a "cp -rv" command?
[07:42] <Overand> or was it 170, and my second was 40?
[07:42] <Overand> hm
[07:42] <ballpointcarrot> bruenig: good point.
[07:42] <timalot> anyone know how to reset a key(s) in gconf2 to it's default value?
[07:42] <Warbo> Overand: Did your 170 run out of space for your movie bittorrents? :)
[07:43] <nalioth> thorsten: i suggest you get a list of all your installed proggys and clean install Ubuntu and use dpkg to put all your pkgs back
[07:43] <tshidi> hello all
[07:43] <nalioth> thorsten:  http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/09/msg00152.html
[07:44] <rob138> is there a command that can compare 2 directories?
[07:44] <Warbo> OK, I think I have backed up enough stuff for me to be comfortable in a clean install. Now I'm going to try the graphical installer for the first time
[07:44] <nalioth> rob138: diff ?
[07:44] <thorsten> nalioth: thx, will read it and decide afterwards
[07:44] <voltagex> hi, is there something I need to do to open ports on the default ubuntu-server install?
[07:45] <bruenig> Warbo, the graphical install's only problem for me was partitioning, so if you are just going to keep your partition table, you may not be able to see the frustrations
[07:45] <KnowledgEngi> for default ubuntu can show only ogg video format
[07:45] <rob138> nalioth, no way, that simple?
[07:45] <KnowledgEngi> ??
[07:45] <nalioth> rob138: linux was made by lazy programmers    :0
[07:45] <blinker> voltagex: if so, that would explain a couple issues i've been having =p
[07:45] <Madpilot> KnowledgEngi, that's corrrect, as far as I know
[07:45] <thorsten> cu
[07:45] <bruenig> KnowledgEngi, I know it can shot ogg video format and can't show others, I am not sure if that is the only format though
[07:46] <voltagex> blinker: ports are open on the local machine but not open to the rest of the LAN?
[07:46] <Warbo> bruenig: I will probably end up mounting my stuff in /home/chris/Files manually through fstab, but I've done that kind of thing loads. My main worry is restoring my backed up settings and stuff (from /var/lib)
[07:46] <blinker> voltagex: no, its more concerning repo updates

[07:46] <KnowledgEngi> exist some video converter ???
[07:46] <Warbo> !info mencoder
[07:46] <ubotu> mencoder: MPlayer's Movie Encoder. In repository multiverse, is extra. Version 2:0.99+1.0pre7try2+cvs20060117-0ubuntu8 (dapper), package size 2912 kB, installed size 7004 kB
[07:47] <nalioth> KnowledgEngi: transcode?
[07:47] <KnowledgEngi> something like wmv2ogg
[07:47] <Warbo> !info ffmpeg2theora
[07:47] <ubotu> ffmpeg2theora: Theora video encoder using ffmpeg. In repository universe, is optional. Version 0.16-1 (dapper), package size 1228 kB, installed size 3136 kB
[07:47] <Warbo> (Ogg video is actually Theora codec inside an ogg container)
[07:47] <bruenig> MP32OGG is cool for music, one simple command and then 2 hours later it is done
[07:48] <Warbo> bruenig: I prefer to tweak setting on a per-file basis, but that is mainly for video (since the quality settigns and codecs can vary wildly)
[07:49] <Warbo> A word of caution: ffmpeg2theora doesn't seem to like some .mov formats, so check your new files before deleting the old ones!
[07:51] <blinker> are there any known fixes for hibernate mode on laptops? I keep getting a 'devices full' type error on hibernate, then it starts right back up
[07:51] <netzwurm> hi.
[07:51] <Warbo> hello
[07:51] <yann> hello
[07:51] <netzwurm> why does hotplug not ifup interfaces that are plugged into the pccard slot?
[07:51] <blinker> i hate when i do that
[07:52] <Geoffrey2> I was told vmware could be used to run Windows in a virtual machine...beyond the vmware-player, what would I need to install to make that work?  apparently I'd need a pre-built VM...where would I look to find the one I would need?
[07:53] <userundefine> Geoffrey2, you can just install vmware server.  there's a howto on it.
[07:54] <Warbo> Geoffrey2: If VMWare can use raw disc images then you could install in Qemu, then switch it over to VMWare to get better speed
[07:54] <userundefine> Geoffrey2, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=183209
[07:54] <netzwurm> Geoffrey2: use the trial version of vmware, create you image, use it with the player.
[07:54] <Warbo> OK, the trial/server is easier :)
[07:54] <netzwurm> Geoffrey2: and uninstall the trial.
[07:55] <rtaylor> vmware server is free
[07:55] <rtaylor> you can learn to use that
[07:55] <mistform> why would Terminal say "Cannot Open Input File"
[07:55] <imbrandon> netzwurm: server is free
[07:57] <basilio> i have no sound, how do i correct this error
[07:57] <Warbo> !sound
[07:57] <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
[07:57] <nalioth> warbo can you use !tell NICK about FACTOID ? it helps out in more than one way
[07:58] <basilio> i dont have the MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM SELECTOR
[07:58] <Warbo> nalioth: OK
[07:59] <Warbo> nalioth: Does that work with !info?
[07:59] <Warbo> (!info package > nick)
[07:59] <userundefine> !info mysql > Warbo
[07:59] <ubotu> Package mysql does not exist in dapper
[08:00] <userundefine> guess not.
[08:00] <teimu> hi ubuntu, does anyone know any apps that can capture audio recordings from an audio device?
[08:00] <nalioth> !tell warbo about sound
[08:01] <rtaylor> teimu, audacity is probably one of the best for that
[08:01] <Warbo> nalioth: Yeah, I get the system but was wondering about !info, that's all (like I could !info audacity > teimu)
[08:01] <mcquaid> anyone good with sox?
[08:02] <mistform> why would the terminal say "Cannot Open Input File"?
[08:02] <teimu> rtaylor, o cool. i actually have that already (this isnt my comp, so i didnt know what it did)
[08:02] <synic> 'cause the file does't exist?
[08:02] <mistform> yeah, it does
[08:02] <mistform> I double check the filename a hundred times
[08:02] <synic> permissions?
[08:02] <mistform> I even copied the filename, cuz it has a I character, wich could be an L or an i
[08:02] <synic> mistform: use tab completion
[08:02] <synic> waay easier.
[08:02] <mistform> tab completion?
[08:03] <nalioth> Warbo: unfortunately i don't think you can send the info factoids, but the person CAN /msg ubotu info $PKGNAME
[08:03] <userundefine> type some of the filename and hit [TAB] 
[08:03] <synic> type the first three letters of the file, then press tab
[08:03] <Warbo> nalioth: Ok, thanks
[08:03] <mistform> mmkay
[08:03] <mistform> ty, synic, I'll try it
[08:04] <abhinay> where is the font directory ?
[08:04] <bll3r87> hello everyone
[08:04] <Madpilot> abhinay, .fonts
[08:05] <cowmilk> i have a p3 500 mhz comp with 128 to 192 mb Ram. Do you guys recommend Ubuntu or Xubuntu?
[08:05] <userundefine> Xubuntu
[08:05] <cowmilk> I say 128 to 192 because I don't know yet if i can move a SIMM card onto this box
[08:05] <synic> I'd personally still use ubuntu.
[08:05] <cowmilk> synic: would i notice the difference in speed?
[08:05] <cowmilk> why would you?
[08:05] <cowmilk> synic: ?
[08:06] <synic> I'm patient
[08:06] <bigbill52a> i would try to get it up to 256 megs
[08:06] <bigbill52a> just installed ubuntu onto a p2 350 mhz
[08:06] <synic> I ran kde on a machine with those specs just fine for a long time
[08:06] <dribble> cowmilk, i'd say xubuntu
[08:07] <Warbo> Wow I love Ubuntu. Try chatting on IRC and playing MP3s during a Windows installation :)
[08:07] <Warbo> (oh, and web browsing)
[08:07] <synic> or you could just like... not install windows
[08:07] <rtaylor> Warbo, windows isn't a real os
[08:07] <rtaylor> its mostly a toy
[08:07] <bll3r87> i hate Microsoft
[08:07] <Warbo> rtaylor: No, it would never make it past child safety tests
[08:08] <rtaylor> Warbo, lol :) good line
[08:08] <Warbo> But it certainly passes the "no small parts" test :)
[08:08] <cowmilk> my p2 is connected to a motherboard that has 4 SIMM slots. I want to remove the p2 and put in a p3 processor. is this possible?
[08:08] <caturOK> how to install bind9
[08:08] <userundefine> !bind
[08:08] <ubotu> I know nothing about bind - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[08:09] <jn> my time is jacked.. i set correct with date cmd but it went back to the wrong time
[08:09] <bigbill52a> vista beta sucked...it would not run programs as simple as spybot, xnews, etc...i removed it, vista that is
[08:09] <jn> i did not set the time correctly when installing
[08:09] <teimu> is xubuntu said "zu-bun-too"?
[08:09] <tchiboo> hi there
[08:09] <tchiboo> how are u ?
[08:09] <bll3r87> vista sucks
[08:09] <bll3r87> microsoft sucks
[08:09] <jn> yep
[08:09] <jn> hi tchiboo
[08:09] <bll3r87> XP sucks
[08:09] <userundefine> bigbill52a, what do you expect, it's beta software.
[08:09] <tchiboo> hi jn
[08:09] <bll3r87> microsoft word sucks
[08:10] <teimu> bll3r87, why does mircrosoft suck?
[08:10] <linux_manju> jn: which time zone r you in?
[08:10] <bll3r87> i dont like monopoly's
[08:10] <jn> la is closest
[08:10] <tchiboo> I have a question there regarding apache
[08:10] <userundefine> !offtopic
[08:10] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[08:10] <tchiboo> I would like to use PHP4
[08:10] <bll3r87> i just dont like microsoft
[08:10] <bll3r87> maybe personal prefrence
[08:10] <bll3r87> im not sure
[08:10] <Warbo> Does the installer's manual partition editor include the mountpoints (otherwise known as "use partition as:"), or is it just an embedded GParted?
[08:10] <tchiboo> and it doesn't work
[08:10] <bll3r87> just dont like it
[08:10] <bioticpro> How do I change the a bunch of filenames from upper to lowercase (cli) ?
[08:10] <jn> i had that set correctly but it still gave me the wrong time after ntdupdate.. so i deleted it
[08:10] <bigbill52a> i realize that it is beta...but i believe that those programs that i mentioned will have to be rewritten for vista....i use xnews all the time...
[08:10] <tchiboo> what did I missed ?
[08:10] <jn> the la line that is
[08:10] <Phoul> hello im having a small problem with apt-get update
[08:10] <teimu> bll3r87, alot of people come in to linux communities hating on windoze, but do they know why?
[08:10] <jn> to see if that would help, it didn't
[08:10] <Phoul> It seems to work fine then
[08:10] <Phoul> Then it just sits at 99% connecting to users.lichtsnel.nl(129.215.101.191)
[08:11] <dribble> wow, that was the most relevant fanboy rant ever!
[08:11] <bigbill52a> but now i have switched to pan
[08:11] <bll3r87> i dont think that matters
[08:11] <Phoul> anyone know?
[08:11] <basilio> does ubuntu have some sort of SYSTEM RESTORE?
[08:11] <bll3r87> its personal prefrence
[08:11] <bll3r87> i dont like microsoft
[08:11] <userundefine> bigbill52a, probably.  but their popularity depends on them rewriting their software.
[08:11] <basilio> my computer has sound this morning, but not anymore after upgrade
[08:11] <userundefine> bll3r87, yeah, we get it.
[08:11] <linux_manju> jn: cat /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/<Closest TZ-file> > /etc/localtime
[08:11] <DShepherd> Phoul: can you ping that address? I cant
[08:11] <Madpilot> Folks, Ubuntu vs Windows chat can move to #ubuntu-offtopic, please
[08:12] <jn> jn@jn-laptop:~$ cat /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/<Closest TZ-file> > /etc/localtime
[08:12] <bigbill52a> anyways i would rather use my extra hard drive for ubuntu..rather than for a beta...that was totally useless
[08:12] <jn> bash: syntax error near unexpected token `>'
[08:12] <bll3r87> haha noo i dont even care
[08:12] <Warbo> The installer's language preferences have reconfigured the LiveCD session on-the-fly so I now have a British layout! Wow
[08:12] <bll3r87> i use windows and i use linux
[08:12] <teimu> basilio, if you're really fucked, use the recovery mode/console. you cant usually un-delete things however. gnome and probably kde save things in thier respective "Trash"es, but rm is unrecoverable
[08:12] <bll3r87> im just trying to learn as much as I can about linux
[08:12] <linux_manju> jn: dont use < > they r for options
[08:12] <Warbo> !language

[08:12] <jn> oh i have to change <closest
[08:12] <jn> heh
[08:13] <bigbill52a> eye candy...i use windows 10 % of the time...
[08:13] <basilio> where is that mdoe/console recovery button
[08:13] <linux_manju> jn: yes.. and run it as root... ie sudo and the command
[08:13] <bll3r87> yea i use windows to do some things
[08:13] <jn> jn@jn-laptop:~$ cat /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los Angeles > /etc/localtime bash: /etc/localtime: No such file or directory
[08:13] <bll3r87> i get much better support with my sound card on microsoft
[08:13] <basilio> i cant wait to hear some sounds from this comp
[08:13] <Warbo> !tell bll3r87 about offtopic
[08:13] <Phoul> is there anyway to fix this it just sits at 99% connecting to users.lichtsnel.nl(129.215.101.191)

[08:14] <Madpilot> bll3r87, you can keep the conversation going, but move it to #ubuntu-offtopic... thank you.
[08:14] <DShepherd> bll3r87: its offtopic.. please go to #ubuntu-offtopic to discuss such stuff

[08:14] <bll3r87> damn
[08:14] <teimu> basilio, on boot, choose the recovery mode from GRUB. if you dont have grub to show up, insert an ubuntu disc. either way works
[08:14] <Warbo> !tell bll3r87 that the point of offtopic is to have a conversation with someone
[08:14] <linux_manju> jn: sudo cat /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles > /etc/localtime
[08:14] <linux_manju> jn: that should do it
[08:14] <bll3r87> sorry i dont want anyone to cry. . ill just sit here and watch the conversation
[08:15] <bll3r87> im just here to learn
[08:15] <fyrestrtr> bll3r87: this is an official support channel, so we invite people who just want to chat socially to go to the offtopic to free this channel for support discussions, thanks for understanding.
[08:15] <Warbo> Oops, I just got a message that "my request has been forwarded to the ops"

[08:15] <teimu> bll3r87, learn grasshoppa!
[08:15] <fyrestrtr> bigbill52a: Ekiga
[08:15] <bll3r87> the only diffrence between kde is gnome is the layout?
[08:15] <Warbo> bigbill52a: AMSN, GAIM 2 (beta) and Mercury that I know of
[08:16] <bigbill52a> this is the first time that i have ever gotten my logitech 510 to work
[08:16] <userundefine> bll3r87, not at all
[08:16] <DShepherd> bll3r87: there's more diff than that
[08:16] <fyrestrtr> bll3r87: layout, libraries, window decoration, apps, themes, etc.
[08:16] <teimu> bll3r87, nope
[08:16] <bll3r87> oh ok
[08:16] <bll3r87> so all together different
[08:16] <fyrestrtr> Warbo: is that gaim beta available in repos?

[08:17] <vbgunz> how do I use env to set a a variable of x=y ?
[08:17] <linux_manju> jn: did u put > after LosAngeles
[08:17] <fyrestrtr> hrmm, might have to give it a try.
[08:17] <linux_manju> jn: sudo cat /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles > /etc/localtime
[08:17] <fyrestrtr> vbgunz: export x=y
[08:17] <jn> yup
[08:17] <linux_manju> jn: copy paste the above command
[08:17] <jn> there is no /etc/localtime bro
[08:17] <jn> i tried locate localtime
[08:17] <jn> should i create /etc/localtime
[08:17] <linux_manju> jn: Every uniz PC should have one :)
[08:17] <vbgunz> fyrestrtr: thank you man... I cannot believe I forgot that... I was trying to say env x=y
[08:17] <fyrestrtr> jn: just make it a symlink
[08:17] <jn> ok.. well i dont
[08:17] <vbgunz> fyrestrtr: thank you!
[08:17] <cowmilk> i'm thinking of having the p2 box donate its "organs" to a "younger generation"
[08:17] <jn> fyrestrtr: ?
[08:17] <linux_manju> jn: yup that shld do it
[08:18] <jn> how?
[08:18] <linux_manju> jn: sumlink..
[08:18] <Geoffrey2> I'm thinking I might install VMserver, then run 98se on it....should take up a lot less physical space and system resources, I would think
[08:18] <cowmilk> how can i check how much ram the box has?
[08:18] <linux_manju> jn: sudo ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles /etc/localtime
[08:18] <jn> make what a symlink? and how?
[08:18] <fyrestrtr> jn: make a symlink /etc/localtime points to /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles
[08:18] <linux_manju> cowmilk: free -m
[08:18] <cowmilk> linux_manju: thank
[08:18] <cowmilk> s
[08:18] <fyrestrtr> vbgunz: your welcome
[08:18] <linux_manju> cowmilk: np :)
[08:19] <fyrestrtr> Geoffrey2: do you need win98 for something? wine is a lot more lightweight.
[08:19] <teimu> jn a symlink is like a windoze shortcut, well a soft symlink that is
[08:19] <shawnr_> !symlink
[08:19] <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
[08:19] <jn> ln: creating symbolic link `/etc/localtime' to `/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles': File exists
[08:19] <jn> wtf
[08:19] <jn> now it exists?!
[08:19] <fyrestrtr> jn: ls -l /etc/localtime

[08:20] <jn> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 2006-07-28 12:58 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles
[08:20] <fyrestrtr> jn: it should already be a symlink if you set it up properly the first time
[08:20] <linux_manju> jn: Thats what i said.. that means the localtime file is there in etc :)
[08:20] <fyrestrtr> jn: its set up already
[08:20] <jn> ok
[08:20] <jn> rad
[08:20] <linux_manju> jn: copy paste this
[08:20] <jn> when will it take effect?
[08:20] <Geoffrey2> fyrestrtr, I've tried wine, and it seems like a great idea that just isn't ready for primetime yet
[08:20] <linux_manju> jn: sudo cat /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles > /etc/localtime
[08:20] <linux_manju> jn: no changes
[08:20] <jn> done that already linux_manju
[08:20] <fyrestrtr> Geoffrey2: what app have you tried running with it?
[08:21] <jn> so when does it change the time?
[08:21] <fyrestrtr> Geoffrey2: the prime time factor depends 100% on the app you are trying to run. Some flat out don't work.
[08:21] <jn> i'll run ntpdate
[08:21] <Geoffrey2> lesse, Quicktime....destroys the desktop every time you run it
[08:21] <linux_manju> jn: is it still showing the same time?
[08:21] <jn> it is
[08:21] <basilio> how many disk is the installation CD of ubuntu
[08:21] <fyrestrtr> basilio: 1
[08:21] <linux_manju> jn: what does hwclock say?
[08:21] <Warbo> I am a little confused with the installer. If I already have my partitions set up, do I need to use the "manually edit partitions"? (I am not going to use erase disc, there is no free space and that was the only other option)
[08:21] <abhinay> how to add Merriam-Webster Dictionary source to the gnome default dictionary ?
[08:21] <Madpilot> jn, ease up on your Enter key a bit, please
[08:21] <jn> the correct time
[08:22] <fyrestrtr> Warbo: you need the 'expert' option, I forgot what its called exactly.
[08:22] <teimu> Warbo, i think its "manually edit partition tables"
[08:22] <fyrestrtr> Warbo: for best results, I recommend the alternate install cd.
[08:22] <Madpilot> Warbo, I think so, yes - the manual edit part can (IIRC) re-use an existing partition table
[08:23] <fyrestrtr> Geoffrey2: why are you running quicktime in windows? It should work in ubuntu natively.
[08:23] <jn> hwclock displays the correct time, it just hasn't changed in gnome as of yet..
[08:23] <Warbo> The partitions are set up, they are formatted, everything is fine, but I am wondering when it will ask for /
[08:23] <fyrestrtr> jn: logout, and log back in.
[08:23] <fyrestrtr> Warbo: right as you click next, it will popup a warning saying no / partition defined.
[08:23] <Warbo> fyrestrtr: OK
[08:23] <cowmilk> sethk: you heer?
[08:24] <cowmilk> here?
[08:24] <KnowledgEngi> ufff
[08:24] <KnowledgEngi> no video
[08:24] <KnowledgEngi> no ogg
[08:24] <Warbo> Aha! There is a whole seperate page for mount points!
[08:24] <linux_manju> jn: are you using NTP?
[08:24] <KnowledgEngi> no mpg
[08:24] <Geoffrey2> um...Apple Quicktime? I wasn't aware there was even a Linux version of it....the Apple website doesn't show one
[08:24] <KnowledgEngi> exist some video format that ubuntu can read?
[08:24] <jn> linux_manju: i have
[08:24] <fyrestrtr> Geoffrey2: if you just want to play quicktime encoded stuff, you can do that in linux.
[08:24] <mistform> .avi
[08:24] <shawnr_> its not ubuntu
[08:24] <fyrestrtr> Geoffrey2: read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[08:24] <shawnr_> just install the right codecs
[08:25] <shawnr_> !codecs
[08:25] <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
[08:25] <KnowledgEngi> i think that the page is wrong
[08:25] <KnowledgEngi> becouse i has installed codecs 100 times
[08:25] <teimu> Geoffrey2, use mplayer. it can play qt. and theres a plugin for it in firefox too
[08:25] <Geoffrey2> fyrestrtr, I've tried both totem-xine and mplayer, the playback on both is atrocious at best
[08:25] <fyrestrtr> Geoffrey2: you might have a video card issue then.
[08:25] <abhinay> is it possible to add Merriam-Webster dictionary as a source to the gnome default dictionary
[08:26] <fyrestrtr> Geoffrey2: I play .mov and .avi files here without issues.
[08:26] <teimu> fyrestrtr, likewise
[08:26] <Warbo> KnowledgEngi: Theora can be played by default (look in Examples>Experience Ubuntu.ogg). The rest work through various means (gstreamer, xine, vlc, mplayer, etc.)
[08:26] <Geoffrey2> fyrestrtr, I install mplayer, install the codecs...every video plays like someone was pointing the camera directly into the sun for the whole duration
[08:27] <KnowledgEngi> i looked
[08:27] <Warbo> Geoffrey2: Preferences?
[08:27] <bll3r87> ok i have a question about KDE and GNOME again, does Windows fall into one of them two categories, or are they linux based only
[08:27] <fyrestrtr> Geoffrey2: this sounds like gamma issue with your video. What kind of graphics card do you have?
[08:27] <KnowledgEngi> but all is black
[08:27] <KnowledgEngi> i did not see video in the videoplayer
[08:27] <Geoffrey2> it's an onboard Intel video chip
[08:27] <Geoffrey2> fyrestrtr, it's an onboard Intel video chip
[08:28] <Warbo> bll3r87: Windows uses explorer for everything. GNOME and KDE use a collection of different utilities, and they can be customised beyond recognition. The default look 'n' feel of MacOS, OSX, Windows and many other desktops can be created in KDE and GNOME
[08:28] <teimu> bll3r87, windows uses the explorer "desktop environment", which is also completely different from gnome and kde...way more different than the latter two are to each other
[08:28] <ghostxx> here's a stupid question, where do I make permanent changes to GRUB? (getting sick of always having to tell it where my boot drive is)
[08:28] <Warbo> ghostxx: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[08:28] <teimu> ghostghost, make sure to edit as a sudoer
[08:28] <dibblego> is there a web interface that I can search for packages with?
[08:29] <Warbo> ghostxx: Open it using "gksudo gedit" to get permission to save changes
[08:29] <dibblego> instead of using apt-cache search
[08:29] <ghostxx> thanks, I'll try that
[08:29] <teimu> dibblego, use synaptic
[08:29] <fyrestrtr> bll3r87: they are linux based only. In Linux, the graphical interfaces run off of a server (that's the X server). KDE and Gnome are just two kinds of desktop envrionments that are clients of X. There are others too (like fluxbox, enligthenment, xfce). In Linux, the graphical interface is not an integrated part of the system. You can run Linux without any graphical user interface. In Windows, however, the GUI is part of the core system, 
[08:29] <dibblego> teimu, I am using Ubuntu server; I cannot
[08:29] <Warbo> dibblego: packages.ubuntu.com
[08:29] <Geoffrey2> fyrestrtr, the videos run fine when run on a media player under Windows...so it looks more like an Ubuntu driver issue rather than a hardware problem..if it's that
[08:29] <fyrestrtr> ghostxx: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[08:29] <bll3r87> ok i got ya
[08:29] <bll3r87> thanks
[08:29] <fyrestrtr> Geoffrey2: yes, that would be it.
[08:30] <dibblego> Warbo, thanks
[08:30] <Warbo> Geoffrey2: Try dumping all of your Windows codecs in /usr/lib/codecs and trying MPlayer
[08:30] <teimu> oo. well, you can browse with http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[08:30] <fyrestrtr> Geoffrey2: have a read through https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Video (especially the Intel section)
[08:30] <bll3r87> is there anyway i can edit my exsiting partition to add more to the unix side of my system?
[08:31] <bll3r87> when i first installed linux i wasnt to into it, but now its all i use
[08:31] <fyrestrtr> bll3r87: you can try with gparted
[08:31] <bll3r87> ok ill give that a try tomorrow morning
[08:31] <teimu> bll3r87, not safely. you might screw up some of the data in the other partitions
[08:31] <bll3r87> gparted, i heard of that program before
[08:31] <teimu> bll3r87, its in apt
[08:31] <bll3r87> ok

[08:31] <ubotu> gparted: partition editor for GNOME. In repository main, is optional. Version 0.1-0ubuntu10 (dapper), package size 232 kB, installed size 1280 kB
[08:32] <Geoffrey2> Warbo, ok, what can I play with MPlayer without the codecs installed?
[08:32] <XxXBrAnDoNXxX> what would happen if I deleted usr/share/app-install/desktop
[08:32] <ghostxx> Warbo and fyrestrtr, thanks, that did it! :)
[08:33] <Warbo> Geoffrey2: Most stuff will play in MPlayer. Windows codecs just give it those few that are obscure (I needed to do it to play an MP4v2 file)
[08:33] <XxXBrAnDoNXxX> or what purpous does it serve?
[08:33] <jn> logged out, back now, time is still incorrect
[08:33] <Warbo> AA! Installer crashed!
[08:34] <fyrestrtr> XxXBrAnDoNXxX: it defines where applications go on the menu system, where their icons are, and what file to launch when you click on them.
[08:34] <fyrestrtr> XxXBrAnDoNXxX: in other words, leave it alone :)
[08:34] <Geoffrey2> um, .wmv is obscure?
[08:34] <Warbo> wmv is encrypted
[08:34] <Warbo> (new ones are)
[08:34] <fyrestrtr> jn: restart the system
[08:35] <jn> fyrestrtr: i used date cmd to change it, we'll see if it sticks, if it doesn't i will try a restart.
[08:35] <teimu> fyrestrtr, look at my pm =)
[08:35] <XxXBrAnDoNXxX> fyrestrtr: Ahh... dang now I cant delete it! Lol it has all my old programs showing that I dont have.
[08:35] <fyrestrtr> I didn't get any from you teimu
[08:36] <teimu> now?
[08:36] <linux_manju> jn: Its a known issue if Linux + NTP is installed along with windows XP dual boot..
[08:36] <jn> it is.
[08:36] <linux_manju> jn: Its more or less likely to cause time havoc
[08:36] <linux_manju> jn: Is it a dual boot?
[08:37] <sharyari> elo
[08:37] <jn> linux_manju: yes, it is.
[08:37] <coopster> has anyone here gotten cedega to work with ubuntu and play counter-strike?
[08:37] <Warbo> Does the LiveCD use my existing Swap for the live session?
[08:37] <Geoffrey2> fyrestrtr, the Intel instructions appeart to be for the Breezy preview...will they work on Dapper?
[08:37] <Madpilot> Warbo, I doubt it, but it might
[08:38] <chris9> whats the name of the default wireless manager that kubuntu uses?
[08:38] <chris9> wifi-radar?
[08:38] <linux_manju> jn: better.. set your clock i.e CMOS clock to localtime and then run tzselect to choose the appropriate time zone and other infos
[08:38] <teimu> coopster, well for one thing, cedega definately works with ubuntu. as for CS, i dont know. cedega has an application library where you can find the working status of most apps
[08:38] <Warbo> Madpilot: Going through the error logs and I am getting /dev/sda2 "device or resource busy" (that is my swap)
[08:38] <Madpilot> Warbo, hmm, no idea, then. I don't bother with swap, so I'm not sure.
[08:38] <teimu> coopster, its on thier website
[08:39] <dibblego> can I find out where an installed packages files are without synaptic?
[08:39] <jn> jn@jn-laptop:~$ tzselect

[08:39] <chris9> anyone know?
[08:39] <jn> bios is set for local time
[08:39] <coopster> teimu, counterstrike is working in cedega, i've used it before on gentoo, but i can't get it goin on this computer, it just randomly hangs

[08:40] <dibblego> I want to see instaled files for a package
[08:40] <fyrestrtr> Geoffrey2: yes
[08:40] <dibblego> synaptic can do it, but this is ubuntu server
[08:41] <teimu> i think so. i dont have root on this machine to test it, but from the man, it should work like said

[08:41] <wweasel> Hey all. In my bootup at a certain point Splashy disappears and i see that it is checking my FAT32 partition, but from that point on everything happens in text rather than splashy. This started happening after I did an update a while ago, I forget what and I only found the time to ask now. Any ideas?
[08:41] <linux_manju> jn: Well.. :)
[08:41] <dibblego> fyrestrtr, cheers
[08:42] <linux_manju> wweasel: check your /etc/fstab for any fat32 filesystem boot entries
[08:42] <dooglus> dibblego: apt-file is good too - it can list the files even for packages which aren't installed
[08:42] <dibblego> dooglus,
[08:42] <dibblego> thanks
[08:42] <linux_manju> wweasel: If its there set the last cloumn to 0 0
[08:42] <KnowledgEngi> ufff i change linux disribution
[08:43] <KnowledgEngi> is impossible to see video on ubuntu

[08:43] <wweasel> knowledgengi: easy ubuntu is alot easier to get that to work than changing distros
[08:44] <linux_manju> KnowledgEngi: I have mplayer and xmms.. installed and I never faced a single problem with any video files sofar
[08:44] <linux_manju> wweasel: try apt-get install gxine
[08:44] <linux_manju> wweasel: that is a good video player
[08:45] <BHSPitLappy> has anyone had problems with flash videos since the most recent firefox update in the repos?
[08:45] <linux_manju> KnowledgEngi: try apt-get install gxine
[08:45] <BHSPitLappy> (google video, youtube)
[08:45] <linux_manju> KnowledgEngi:  that is a good video player
[08:45] <jn> linux_manju: what do you suggest?
[08:45] <wweasel> linux_manju: I have no prob with video. mine was the fat32. at the moment the "pass" column is set to 1. you said change it to 0.  I will, but while I am at it I'd like to learn. Could you tell me what that does?
[08:46] <linux_manju> wweasel: Well it wont be checked for consitancy.. I.e filesystem checks...
[08:46] <jn> i like mplayer
[08:46] <linux_manju> wweasel: It is now recomended to scan a fat32 from linux
[08:46] <jn> vlc is decent
[08:46] <bioticpro> Any kxmame or gxmame users, I need help with video setup, xmame video screen is tiny, can't figure out how to make it full screen
[08:46] <linux_manju> jn: Remove and reinstall
[08:46] <jn> :)\
[08:46] <Shinzetsu> I managed to install my nvidia drivers, but now my resolution is locked to 640x480, anyone had the same issue?
[08:47] <wweasel> linux_manju: aha! so, ideally it should scan. Can it not scan behind Splashy somehow?
[08:47] <linux_manju> wweasel: Ideally It should not scan fat or ntfs file systems
[08:47] <bioticpro> Any kxmame or gxmame users, I need help with video setup, xmame video screen is tiny, can't figure out how to make it full screen
[08:47] <linux_manju> wweasel: 0 0 means it wont be scanned
[08:48] <wweasel> linux_maju: Alright, thanks very much :)
[08:48] <linux_manju> wweasel: You are getting a text console coz .. Init thinks its a warnign
[08:48] <linux_manju> wweasel: NP
[08:48] <teimu> Shinzetsu, do you know about your xorg.conf? you can enable different resolutions from there.
[08:49] <linux_manju> Shinzetsu: run dpkg-reconfgiure xserver-xorg and select the appropriate resolutions
[08:50] <Shinzetsu> Package `server-xorg' is not installed and no info is available.
[08:50] <Shinzetsu> Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
[08:50] <Shinzetsu> and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.
[08:50] <Shinzetsu> /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: server-xorg is not installed
[08:50] <Shinzetsu> should i sudo apt-get install server-xorg?
[08:50] <linux_manju> Shinzetsu: nope... just
[08:50] <linux_manju> Shinzetsu: dpk-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:51] <Shinzetsu> i did that
[08:51] <Shinzetsu> i get that error ^
[08:51] <Shinzetsu> oh wait
[08:51] <Greensky> has anyone ever had dapper fail to install when you used ext3 partitions?
[08:51] <Shinzetsu> yeah
[08:51] <teimu> Greensky, whats the error?
[08:51] <Greensky> it just hangs on me
[08:51] <IRCMonkeyX>  i have windows and ubuntu in one hdd, i am gonna change my partitions  under windows, how can i protect myself for taking grub error 17?
[08:51] <Greensky> it's the graphical install :\
[08:52] <teimu> Greensky, at what point?
[08:52] <Greensky> using reiser (sp) it goes through ok
[08:52] <Greensky> at about 94% done
[08:53] <Shinzetsu> linux_manju: any options next?
[08:53] <Greensky> I forget the exact %
[08:53] <Shinzetsu> left
[08:53] <Shinzetsu> *
[08:53] <teimu> Greensky, sorry to try to answer you're question with another question, but im unsure about the graphical installer i hear about. Is it graphical as in you have a mouse, or only text-based?
[08:53] <linux_manju> Shinzetsu: Well manualy edit xorg.conf
[08:53] <Greensky> np, graphical as in x-windows... it's in gnome
[08:53] <Greensky> and you click the install icon
[08:54] <Warbo> How do I attach files to a bug report?
[08:54] <teimu> Greensky, hmm. ok. have you tried the text-based installer?
[08:54] <linux_manju> Shinzetsu: try installing apt-get install nvidia-xconfig
[08:54] <Shinzetsu> linux_manju: where is it stored?
[08:54] <Shinzetsu> okay
[08:54] <IRCMonkeyX> hi, i have windows and ubuntu in one hdd, i am gonna change my partitions  under windows, how can i protect myself for taking grub error 17?
[08:54] <Greensky> nope, I didn't see that as an option on the menu... any reason I shouldn't just use reiserfs?
[08:55] <Greensky> I really only use ext3 since I've used ext2-3 since I started using linux and never had issues so I saw no reason to change that
[08:55] <linux_manju> Shinzetsu: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:55] <Greensky> the only other thing I've noticed is that I had to run noapci to get my machine to boot, but that's not a bit deal on a desktop
[08:55] <Greensky> and I figure it's probably unrelated since I can install with reiserfs
[08:56] <teimu> IRCMonkeyX, i would recommend editting them in linux with gparted. that way, it will keep the boot record for linux intact. any adjustments to already existing partitions is somewhat dangerous however
[08:56] <Shinzetsu> linux_manju: alright, i think i found some resolutions, what do i need to change?
[08:56] <linux_manju> Shinzetsu: default resolution
[08:56] <Shinzetsu> linux_manju: all the resolutions are there though
[08:57] <linux_manju> Shinzetsu: what does DefaultDepth   say?
[08:57] <linux_manju> 24?
[08:57] <Shinzetsu> 24
[08:57] <Shinzetsu> yes
[08:58] <Warbo> Ubuiquity seems to be getting loads of bug reports, so I'll just give up on the graphical installer
[08:58] <Warbo> I can't be bothered to download a whole new CD, so I'll debootstrap it
[08:58] <linux_manju> what are all the modes for 24 bit subsections
[08:58] <IRCMonkeyX> teimu: i have c d e drives. c and d for windows, e is for ubuntu, may i divide into 2 partitions d drive , as you say with gparted from ubuntu ?
[08:58] <Shinzetsu> 	SubSection "Display"
[08:58] <Shinzetsu> 		Depth		24
[08:58] <Shinzetsu> 		Modes		"1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480"
[08:58] <Shinzetsu> 	EndSubSection
[08:58] <linux_manju> "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" ??
[08:58] <Shinzetsu> yeah
[08:58] <Shinzetsu> i can only choose 640x480
[08:59] <Geoffrey2> fyrestrtr, I checked wiki, but the only advice is on how to change screen resolutions
[08:59] <Warbo> IRCMonkeyX: Referring to partitions like that is dangerous. When I used Widnows it constantly switched around D: E: and F:
[08:59] <linux_manju> Shinzetsu: what happens if you try ctrl+alt+ +
[08:59] <Shinzetsu> Warbo: I run Wimpdows in a VM :)
[08:59] <Shinzetsu> whoa even bigger
[08:59] <teimu> IRCMonkeyX, wait...is ubuntu already on you're so-called "E" drive? windows shouldnt be able to read linux partitions, which is why im wondering you're calling it E
[09:00] <linux_manju> Shinzetsu: i.e ctrl,alt and + key simultaneously
[09:00] <Shinzetsu> hang on
[09:00] <IRCMonkeyX> warbo: i dont know what to do, if i do it from windows, i will get grub error 17 :(
[09:00] <Shinzetsu> well i get even a more smaller
[09:00] <Shinzetsu> like 300x something
[09:00] <linux_manju> Shinzetsu: keep pressing it repeatedly..
[09:01] <Shinzetsu> hey i think i got it hang on
[09:01] <KnowledgEngi> hello
[09:01] <teimu> IRCMonkeyX, haha....i dont think anyone here that hasn't had the error knows exactly what grub error 17 is. what is it?
[09:01] <IRCMonkeyX> teimu: it was drive e, before installing ubuntu,now not,by the way there is a tool for reading ubuntu from windows
[09:01] <KnowledgEngi> edubuntu-server consent to put online document ?
[09:01] <KnowledgEngi> documentS
[09:01] <Shinzetsu> linux_manju: it works, thanks alot!
[09:01] <KnowledgEngi> i have installed ubuntu, kubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop and edubuntu-desktop
[09:02] <teimu> IRCMonkeyX, no sorry. windows is incapable of that as far as i know. might be a better question for a windows chat thought
[09:02] <linux_manju> Shinzetsu: NP
[09:02] <Shinzetsu> man I love those IRC help channels
[09:02] <jn> linux_manju: hey im having trouble finding the tz package.. i tried installing timezoneconf and that gave errors :\
[09:02] <Shinzetsu> I remember called Micro$oft and paying loads of cash on their phone line
[09:02] <Half-Left> Is there anything special I need to do when compiling the nvidia driver in ubuntu?
[09:02] <teimu> IRCMonkeyX, ok, so back to the main issue. what are you trying to do with the "drive E"?
[09:03] <Shinzetsu> someone know a good msn client? ive tried Kopete, Gaim and aMSN so far
[09:03] <linux_manju> jn: try apt-get install timezone
[09:04] <KnowledgEngi> how can i remove all that is not ubuntu uffical and ubuntu supported ?
[09:04] <IRCMonkeyX> teimu: i have c d e drives. c and d for windows, e is for ubuntu, may i divide into 2 partitions d drive , as you say with gparted from ubuntu ?
[09:04] <teimu> Shinzetsu, i know trillian know msn protocol. BUT, i dont know if there's a linux port for it
[09:05] <jn> E: Package timezone has no installation candidate
[09:05] <linux_manju> Shinzetsu: amsn is the way to go
[09:05] <jn> However the following packages replace it: libc6
[09:05] <jn> apt-get install libc6?
[09:06] <Warbo> If I debootstrap a system, will I have to do anything other than installing ubuntu-desktop, adding a user and sorting out fstab?
[09:06] <linux_manju> Shinzetsu: try apt-cache search msn you will get tonsd
[09:06] <linux_manju> jn: apt-get install timezones
[09:06] <Warbo> jn: I uninstalled libc6 earlier. That is why I am reinstallin
[09:06] <jn> ouch
[09:07] <teimu> IRCMonkeyX, o ok. here's what I would do. use the windows partitioner to split the drives (partition magic, right?). then use gparted to convert to ext3/2, and then talk to someone who knows how to enable other partitions to be used under an existing linux install. i dont know how to do that part of it
[09:07] <jn> Package timezones is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[09:07] <jn> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[09:07] <jn> is only available from another source
[09:07] <jn> However the following packages replace it: libc6
[09:07] <jn> E: Package timezones has no installation candidate
[09:07] <Warbo> Don't ask me why I did it (I was assuming I could just temporarily remove it, then dpkg -i a different version)
[09:08] <linux_manju> jn: try what it says... apt-get install libc6
[09:08] <IRCMonkeyX>  /msg nickserv set unfiltered on
[09:08] <Shinzetsu> afk
[09:09] <IRCMonkeyX> teimu: ok thanx
[09:09] <teimu> IRCMonkeyX, np. good luck!
[09:10] <GStubbs43> Hey, is there a way I can set certain filetypes to open with a specific program, like .pls with VLC?
[09:10] <secleinteer> hey, when i do a fresh install, what is the root password/
[09:10] <secleinteer> ?
[09:11] <Greensky>  /quit
[09:11] <linux_manju> GStubbs43: cat /etc/mime.types
[09:11] <linux_manju> GStubbs43: Its tricky to setup thou
[09:11] <linux_manju> secleinteer: There wont be one.. do sudo su -
[09:12] <Warbo> !tell secleinteer about sudoroot
[09:12] <ubotu> I know nothing about sudoroot - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[09:12] <linux_manju> secleinteer: and then run passwd to set one
[09:12] <GStubbs43> hmm.... what am I supposed to do after cat /etc/mime.types
[09:12] <Warbo> !tell secleinteer about rootsudo
[09:12] <IRCMonkeyX> !root
[09:12] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:12] <linux_manju> GStubbs43: You can assoiate a program with the extentions
[09:12] <Farhad> how I can download a page on web with all links that are on that page
[09:12] <Warbo> Farhad: Use wget
[09:13] <GStubbs43> DownThemAll Extension Farhad
[09:13] <GStubbs43> for Firefox
[09:13] <Warbo> Farhad: Type "man wget" to see it's manual
[09:13] <teimu> these bot commands are kind of longwinded. why !tell someone *about* something? can you replace about with anything? otherwise its just more to type
[09:13] <GStubbs43> maybe not... ;)
[09:13] <ball> If I want to dual-boot ubuntu with another OS, should I install the other first?
[09:14] <secleinteer> linux_manju: tyvm
[09:14] <Warbo> teimu: !information > nickname
[09:14] <linux_manju> Farhad: wget -Hr http://somesite.com
[09:14] <linux_manju> secleinteer: NP
[09:14] <Warbo> ball: If it is Windows yes. If it is something different then you may have to set up two bootloaders
[09:15] <IRCMonkeyX> ball: if wanna use windows and ubuntu, u should install first windows, as i know
[09:15] <ball> Okay
[09:15] <Shinzetsu> back
[09:15] <oga> hey all i'm having some trouble with my make.... there is an error like this: build SUBDIRS=/home/oga/Desktop/ipw2200-1.0.4 MODVERDIR=/home/oga/Desktop/ipw2200-1.0.4 modules
[09:15] <oga> make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.15-23-386/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.
[09:15] <oga> make: *** [modules]  Error 2
[09:15] <ball> Does Ubuntu live entirely within one BIOS-level partition?
[09:15] <Warbo> oga: Install the package "linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386"
[09:15] <teimu> Warbo, now im being picky. why not !information nickname, huh? don't you think they're unnecessary?
[09:15] <Farhad> Thnx , Warbo , GStubbs43 , linux_manju
[09:15] <ball> (swap, /usr etc too?
[09:15] <ball> )
[09:16] <linux_manju> oga: install kernel-sources and kernel-headers
[09:16] <Warbo> ball: Depends what you tell it. I use /boot, / swap and /home/chris/Files
[09:16] <teimu> !tell teimu root
[09:16] <ubotu> I know nothing about tell teimu root - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[09:16] <ball> Warbo: those are separate partitions?
[09:16] <teimu> !tell teimu ubuntu
[09:16] <ubotu> I know nothing about tell teimu ubuntu - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[09:17] <Warbo> ball: For me yes. sda1=/boot, sda2=swap sda3 is extended, sda5=/, sda6=/home/chris/Files
[09:17] <ball> Hmm, that could be tricky then.
[09:17] <Warbo> (I also have sda7 and sda8 as ext3, and 50GB free space. Those are for different OSs I may want in the future)
[09:17] <ball> I /think I just need / and swap
[09:17] <ball> perhaps /usr too.
[09:18] <teimu> !tell teimu x
[09:18] <ubotu> I know nothing about tell teimu x - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[09:18] <Warbo>  / and swap are the only defaults
[09:18] <teimu> bah...
[09:18] <teimu> !tell teimu about x
[09:18] <Warbo> !fishing > teimu
[09:18] <teimu> !fishing teimu
[09:18] <ubotu> I know nothing about fishing teimu - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[09:18] <ball> Warbo: if half of the disk is unpartitioned space when I run the Ubuntu installer, will it give me the option of using that space?
[09:19] <ball> !X ball
[09:19] <ubotu> I know nothing about X ball - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[09:19] <Warbo> ball: Yes
[09:19] <ball> Warbo: I think that's what I needed to know, thanks.
[09:19] <arha> hello
[09:19] <Warbo> ball: It says either erase entire disc, use free space or manual
[09:19] <ball> hello Lobster
[09:19] <Warbo> Which, coincidentally, I have right in front of me now
[09:20] <ball> Warbo: if I were feeling more energetic, I'd build a PC on which to try it.
[09:20] <ball> I don't have the disk for the other OS though, so that would be (at least partially) a waste of time.
[09:20] <Lobster> hi ball abd the others :)
[09:20] <ball> brb, baby needs changing.
[09:20] <arha> excuse me, does someone know how i can tell ubuntu to use a screen resolution per default? even though i clicked "Make default ..." and then on log-out "Save session", it still goes back from 1280x1024 to 1024x768 each time i reboot..
[09:21] <ball> Does ubuntu have xf86config?
[09:21] <arha> it has xorgconfig
[09:21] <Warbo> It uses "dpkg-reconfigure" on the xserver-xorg package
[09:21] <ball> arha: Ah, I've never seen that.  I know that xf86config let me choose a mode for each screen depth.
[09:21] <arha> ah, ok that might have been it
[09:22] <arha> i just added the new 1280x1024 resolution via xorgcfg
[09:22] <ball> Why does 1,280 x 960 seem more religiously correct?
[09:23] <arha> what do you mean, religiously correct?
[09:24] <crimsun> because the aspect ratio is correct, ball.
[09:24] <Warbo> Listen just died :(
[09:24] <crimsun> note that 1280x1024 does not adhere to the same aspect ratio that 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1600x1200, ... do
[09:24] <arha> yes but you have more space on the screen than with 1280x960 :)
[09:25] <Warbo> I still remember 320x256,640x512,1280x512, etc
[09:25] <ball> crimsun: that'll be it.
[09:25] <ball> 320x240, 640x400 on my hardware
[09:25] <Warbo> (fits in a PAL TV better, and on a multisync monitor)
[09:25] <arha> ok, now dpkg-reconfigure asks me whether to "Emulate 3 button mouse?" - so do i have to say "No" if i have a mouse with two buttons plus scroll-wheel as third?
[09:25] <ball> 320x200 I mean
[09:25] <ball> 1,152 x 864
[09:26] <Warbo> arha: That just means that clicking left+right will = pressing wheel down
[09:26] <arha> hum - is that useful in any way?
[09:26] <ball> arha: you don't "have" to say no, but you /can/ say no because you already have a third button.
[09:26] <Warbo> arha: Technically the wheel is 3rd, 4th and 5th. Third is pressing it down, 4th and 5th are scroll up and scroll down respectively
[09:26] <ball> My mouse has four buttons and no scroll wheel
[09:27] <ball> I think I hate my mouse.
[09:27] <arha> ball: how does that look like?
[09:27] <ball> arha: s/mouse/trackball/ ;-)
[09:27] <arha> ahso
[09:27] <Warbo> I have a mouse with buttons on the side. It is annoying since the mouse is dome-shaped and needs to be help firmly to lift it, but this presses the side buttons
[09:27] <Warbo> *held
[09:28] <ball> Warbo: sounds evil
[09:28] <balsat> wenn there is something wrong with the root can you do something about it
[09:28] <Warbo> I don't use it anymore
[09:28] <arha> so, emulating third button with left+right does not have any bad side-effects? or are there any programs which require simultaneous clicking of left and right mouse button ?
[09:28] <Warbo> balsat: A little more specific please?
[09:28] <ball> The two wee buttons on my trackball are supposed to be scroll buttons, but I'd rather use them as, well, buttons.
[09:28] <Warbo> arha: Not that I know of (both questions)
[09:29] <ball> If the mouse driver were really smart, I'd be able to hold one we button down and move the ball to scroll in two dimensions.
[09:29] <oga> Warbo and linux_manju thanks for getting the right headers for me it seems to be "making" now but there is some more errors
[09:29] <ball> ...but I don't think we're quite there yet.
[09:29] <balsat> i uses su instead of sudo now i cant mount ny disks in ubuntu am i newbie in this
[09:30] <Warbo> balsat: 1) Don't use su, 2) What happens when you try to mount
[09:30] <oga> it's starting with warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type
[09:30] <oga>  followed by some error: invalid application of sizeof to incomplete type struct ieee80211_assoc_response_frame plus some more
[09:30] <Warbo> (I thought you meant your root partition originally :) )
[09:30] <balsat> nothing
[09:30] <Warbo> oga: Sound like a badly written driver/program :(
[09:30] <flax> can somebody tell me how i get the junkmail filters working in evolution?
[09:31] <flax> (in dapper)
[09:31] <balsat> dont get the rights for the disks
[09:31] <oga> Warbo k
[09:31] <Warbo> balsat: If you get "username@system~#mount device mountpoint
[09:31] <Warbo> username@system~#" then it has worked
[09:32] <Half-Left> Anyone got the nvidia driver to load with a custom kernel?
[09:32] <Warbo> balsat: What is the error message? "Nothing" and "doesn't give me rights" don't seem to fit. I asked what happened
[09:32] <balsat> i dont see that at all
[09:32] <abhinay> wot is the best download manager ?
[09:32] <Warbo> !best
[09:32] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[09:32] <fyrestrtr> Half-Left: "custom" kernel?
[09:32] <arha> in the xorg-config, should i add the GLcore module to "loaded by default"?
[09:32] <Half-Left> fyrestrtr, yer, 2.6.17.7
[09:32] <Warbo> balsat: Then what do you see? You said you saw nothing, and that is nothing
[09:33] <ball> turn the brightness up ;-)
[09:33] <fyrestrtr> Half-Left: same story as any other kernel, download the source and headers, then rebuild the nvidia kernel module for that kernel.
[09:33] <balsat> it says something its a non changeball disk like that
[09:33] <Half-Left> fyrestrtr, yep, did that but xorg is not loading, says cannot find module "nvidia"
[09:34] <Warbo> balsat: 1) That is not "nothing" so please tell me exactly what I ask for in future, 2) Please pastebin it
[09:34] <fyrestrtr> Half-Left: are you using the binary drivers from nvidia.com or the ones in repo?
[09:34] <Warbo> !pastebin > balsat
[09:34] <Half-Left> fyrestrtr, the file from nvidia.com
[09:35] <ball> Does ubuntu include any support for hardware accelleration of MPEG playback?
[09:35] <fyrestrtr> Half-Left: it works here, when you run it, it will uninstall and then re-install the module. You need to then modprobe it again (or restart the machine) for it to be loaded.
[09:35] <Warbo> ball: I think that depends on the hardware
[09:35] <fyrestrtr> Half-Left: make sure you have the kernel headers and the source, and that /usr/src/linux points to the right location.
[09:35] <ball> Warbo: so /some/ hardware is supported?
[09:35] <fyrestrtr> ball: depends on your video card
[09:36] <ball> Warbo: I come from an OS with no accelleration ;-)
[09:36] <Half-Left> fyrestrtr, I did modprob it, and I have it loaded during boot, the nvidia driver compiled with the right kernel
[09:36] <fyrestrtr> Half-Left: and you are running the same kernel right now?
[09:36] <Half-Left> yes
[09:36] <Half-Left> 2.6.17.7
[09:36] <arha> do i need the Xorg-GLcore module for 3D-acceleration (i have got an nvidia geforce 2-something), or will it be loaded if it's used, or what is it for?
[09:36] <fyrestrtr> then something else is wrong with the module or the way you built it.
[09:36] <ball> fyrestrtr: Which should I buy for use with ubuntu?
[09:36] <Warbo> I know all nvidia video acceleration is lost when running XGL
[09:36] <fyrestrtr> ball: nvidia
[09:37] <ball> thanks
[09:37] <ball> brb
[09:37] <tchiboo> Hi there
[09:37] <Warbo> I prefer ATI's older cards
[09:37] <Half-Left> fyrestrtr, what could be, i've done this a thousand times on other distros
[09:37] <tchiboo> how are U ?
[09:37] <fyrestrtr> Warbo: that's a side effect of XGL *any* "direct rendering" is lost because you are using opengl rendering.
[09:37] <tchiboo> I have a apache PHP problem
[09:37] <tchiboo> someone could help me ?
[09:37] <Warbo> fyrestrtr: Apparently not in fglrx or similar. It is a problem specific to nvidia
[09:37] <fyrestrtr> Half-Left: I don't know, but I know it worked here without a glitch.
[09:37] <caturOK> what the problem
[09:38] <caturOK> may be i can help u
[09:38] <fyrestrtr> Warbo: errm, no its not. Its how XGL works.
[09:38] <caturOK> :P
[09:38] <tchiboo> caturOK ok thanks
[09:38] <caturOK> :)
[09:38] <Half-Left> fyrestrtr, I tried removing the restricted modules but no luck
[09:38] <tchiboo> caturkOK I had an apache 2 and PHP5 working, but
[09:38] <tchiboo> I would downgrade to php4
[09:38] <fyrestrtr> Half-Left: wait, you have the restricted modules installed too? Why?
[09:38] <Half-Left> fyrestrtr, I have them uninstalled now
[09:38] <Warbo> fyrestrtr: XGL gives acceleration to video playback. Look at some kind of table of compatibility. You will see that under Nvidia there is "lack of video acceleration"
[09:39] <tchiboo> caturOK and remove the package PHP5 and install package PHP4
[09:39] <fyrestrtr> Half-Left: were you running the non nvidia.com drivers before?
[09:39] <Warbo> (as an error/problem)
[09:39] <caturOK> apache can read php4 and 5
[09:39] <Half-Left> fyrestrtr, yes
[09:39] <tchiboo> caturOK and now no PHP on port 80
[09:39] <section31> after i update my .bashrc file..how do i reload it without having to relogin.
[09:39] <bbrazil> section31: . .bashrc
[09:39] <tchiboo> caturOK for exemple www.philservices.ch/catalog
[09:39] <fyrestrtr> Half-Left: you need to completely remove them first, then reboot the system, THEN install the new ones.
[09:39] <fyrestrtr> Half-Left: read the wiki, it explains all this.
[09:39] <Elko> How to insert a certain package into apt's cache?  'apt-cache add package.deb' says "E: Unimplemented", though it *is* in the man-page
[09:39] <tchiboo> caturOK but on port 81 it is ok
[09:40] <section31> bbrazil,what does the . do
[09:40] <bbrazil> section31: sources the file
[09:40] <Half-Left> fyrestrtr, I have removed the nvidia-glx package before booting the new kernel
[09:40] <caturOK> u want u apache port on 80 or 81
[09:40] <fyrestrtr> Half-Left: read the wiki please.
[09:40] <caturOK> sorry if my english poor
[09:40] <caturOK> lol
[09:40] <Warbo> Elko: You would probably be better off adding it some other way. Installing a package from outside a repository adds that package to apt's lists
[09:40] <section31> thanks
[09:40] <Half-Left> fyrestrtr, sorry, which one?
[09:40] <bbrazil> Elko: manpage says it's for dubugging. probably need a compile option
[09:40] <tchiboo> caturOK apache on port 80
[09:40] <bbrazil> Elko: *debugging
[09:40] <caturOK> u can edit
[09:40] <caturOK> on your port.conf in apache directory
[09:41] <caturOK> change listen 81
[09:41] <caturOK> to listen 80
[09:41] <Elko> Warbo: what other way? as I understand, the cache is a binary file, so I can't edit it manually
[09:41] <tchiboo> caturOK thanks, but it is ok the port (I just have no PHP)
[09:41] <Elko> bbrazil: well, ok.. but there must be a way to inject a package into the cache.. even gentoo can do that
[09:41] <caturOK> how about addtype
[09:42] <tchiboo> caturOK when I open a PHP page it will download the file
[09:42] <fyrestrtr> Half-Left: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual
[09:42] <bbrazil> Elko: why do you want to do that?
[09:42] <arha> ok, thank you all.. i'll try it out
[09:42] <tchiboo> caturOK  addtype in apache2.conf ?
[09:42] <caturOK> AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php5 .php4 .php3
[09:42] <caturOK> # <---- u remove first
[09:43] <Elko> bbrazil: because apt-get install x11-common crashes each time inside colinux and I already have the needed directories from x11-common
[09:43] <caturOK> find addtype
[09:43] <tchiboo> caturOK I tried to remove it and restart apache2 no changes
[09:43] <Warbo> Elko: Why do you want it in the cache anyway? (sorry, my system is going slow)
[09:43] <Half-Left> fyrestrtr, thanks, I read that, seems I have not removed the nvidia-common package
[09:43] <JaCe> c
[09:43] <fyrestrtr> Half-Left: :) told ya
[09:43] <caturOK> u use linux or microsoft
[09:43] <Half-Left> :-)
[09:43] <tchiboo> linux
[09:43] <tchiboo> ubuntu
[09:43] <caturOK> can u try kill
[09:43] <caturOK> php first
[09:44] <tchiboo> how to do this ?
[09:44] <caturOK> ps -aux | grep php
[09:44] <bbrazil> Elko: do you know what apt-cache does?
[09:44] <caturOK> if that u php run
[09:44] <Elko> bbrazil: heh, not what I want it seems
[09:44] <caturOK> catur    17665  0.0  0.1   3032   720 pts/2    S+   14:45   0:00 grep php <--- example
[09:44] <Half-Left> brb
[09:44] <bbrazil> Elko: it's merely for looking at lists of packages in repositories
[09:44] <caturOK> wehehehee
[09:44] <sam_> what is the most popular linux distro in the world? i want proof
[09:45] <bbrazil> sam_: distrowatch.net
[09:45] <Warbo> apt-cache looks through the lists which apt-get update downloads, and also adds any custom dpkg -i installed packages (or obsolete ones for which the repos have been removed)
[09:45] <mdirc> how do I enable ubuntu's vino (vnc) server to allow remote connections?
[09:45] <caturOK> tchiboo : may be u can see this http://www.howtoforge.net/taxonomy_menu/1/3
[09:45] <Warbo> !offtopic > sam_
[09:45] <Elko> fine... so apt is about the only packagemanager that can't be faked into thinking some package is already installed... crazy..
[09:45] <sam_> someone told me distrowatch is bull
[09:46] <caturOK> tchiboo : Running Apache2 With PHP5 And PHP4 At The Same Time
[09:46] <caturOK> that's good tool
[09:46] <Warbo> Elko: I once installed a custom build of E-UAE as xlibs version 10 :)
[09:46] <bbrazil> Elko: manually alter the status file
[09:46] <Elko> bbrazil: please tell me where I can find that
[09:46] <fyrestrtr> Elko: normally, you don't need to mess with injecting packages into apt.
[09:47] <Warbo> sam_: There are no definite figures since FLOSS doesn't force anybody to register
[09:47] <bbrazil> Elko: if you don't know, you shouldn't be doing it
[09:47] <Shinzetsu> how can i download the 'make' command?
[09:47] <Elko> I know, but this isn't a normal situation
[09:47] <fyrestrtr> Shinzetsu: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[09:47] <Warbo> Shinzetsu: install "build-essential"
[09:47] <bbrazil> Elko: you'll break your system horribly
[09:47] <sam_> I flossed this morning
[09:47] <Shinzetsu> thanks
[09:47] <tchiboo> caturOK but now I have no php running
[09:47] <Elko> bbrazil: what, give up on a wonderful way to learn?
[09:47] <Elko> bbrazil: I want to, I want to
[09:47] <fyrestrtr> Elko: basically, yeap.
[09:47] <tchiboo> caturOK I tried the ps command but there is an error
[09:48] <Warbo> !floss > sam_
[09:48] <caturOK> u have php5 from source or from ubuntu
[09:48] <tchiboo> from ubuntu
[09:50] <tchiboo> capturOK if I reinstall the apache packet my config files will be deleted ?
[09:50] <badgurl> its nice to be back again
[09:50] <Elko> ah, found the status file... now to figure out what to put in there :P
[09:50] <zith> i am getting an apt-get error: Depends: libgcc1 (>= 1:4.0.2) but 1:4.0.1-4ubuntu9 is to be installed.  what does 'to be installed' mean?
[09:51] <caturOK> hm
[09:51] <caturOK> edit mysql.so
[09:51] <caturOK> php.ini
[09:51] <Minty> can some please tell me how to set permission to this folder /opt/azureus/pluggins as Azureus can write its own pluggins as permission denied
[09:51] <MoNkUnClE> hey does anyone know how to get gaim-otr working in gaim2 beta 3?
[09:52] <Shinzetsu> Im trying to install something, and I need to compile a version for my kernel, it asks me: "
[09:52] <Shinzetsu> What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
[09:52] <Shinzetsu> kernel?
[09:52] <Shinzetsu> default locations usr/src/linux/include, but it doesnt exist
[09:52] <tchiboo> where are those files ?
[09:54] <fyrestrtr> Shinzetsu: what are you trying to install?
[09:54] <fyrestrtr> tchiboo: what are you trying to do?
[09:55] <MoNkUnClE> does anyone know how to get gaim-otr working in gaim2 beta 3?
[09:55] <Shinzetsu> fyrestrtr: VMware Workstation
[09:55] <tchiboo> fryestrt I am trying to have php workin again
[09:56] <fyrestrtr> Shinzetsu: you need to install the linux-headers package for your kernel version. sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
[09:56] <Shinzetsu> fyrestrtr: cheers mate
[09:56] <fyrestrtr> tchiboo: what happened that it stopped working?
[09:56] <rr> lol ... www.ie7.com
[09:57] <tchiboo> I had php5 working, and wanted to down grade to php4 so I remove packages PHP5 and install pacakages PHP4
[09:57] <fyrestrtr> tchiboo: how did you remove it?
[09:57] <tchiboo> using de synaptic tool
[09:58] <synic> tchiboo: a2dismod php5
[09:58] <tchiboo> fyrestrtr: but I would like to have php4 working
[09:58] <tchiboo> fyrestrtr:
[09:58] <fyrestrtr> tchiboo: type sudo apt-get remove --purge php5
[09:59] <tchiboo> fyrestrtr: ok done
[09:59] <bintut> where can i find the list of xkblayout and xkbmodel?
[10:00] <fyrestrtr> tchiboo: then, sudo apt-get install php4 php4-mysql
[10:00] <tchiboo> fyrestrtr: ok done
[10:00] <Bonkadooda> http://linux.about.com/library/bl/bluser_survey01_sum.htm
[10:01] <tchiboo> fyrestrtr: 2 packages uptodate, non updated
[10:01] <MoNkUnClE> do i have voice,can u guy see me asking question?
[10:01] <ikor> bintut: /usr/lib/X11/xkb/ ?
[10:02] <fyrestrtr> MoNkUnClE: IRC doesn't have voice, only text.
[10:02] <fyrestrtr> tchiboo: now, restart apache
[10:02] <cilkay> Hi. What's the hotkey combination for switching X resolutions?
[10:03] <ball> Ctrl, Alt and + or -?
[10:03] <bintut> ikor: it's not there
[10:03] <ball> (on the numeric pad?)
[10:03] <tchiboo> fyrestrtr: done, it doesn't work look at www.philservices.ch/catalog
[10:03] <bintut> ikor: i already found it before when i upgraded to xorg-7.0
[10:03] <MoNkUnClE> how do i apply a .diff file?
[10:03] <tchiboo> fyrestrtr: the file is index.php and propose me to download it
[10:04] <ikor> MoNkUnClE: using patch
[10:04] <ball> cilkay: did that work?
[10:04] <MoNkUnClE> ikor yeah i guess or diff i dunno
[10:05] <cilkay> Ctrl, Alt, ? doesn't do anything. Ctrl, Alt, + changes resolution but it's not what I expected. The screen pans.
[10:05] <fyrestrtr> tchiboo: sudo a2enmod mod_php
[10:05] <Kimppa> Hello. Can someone recommend me a software for creating flash animations?
[10:05] <tchiboo> this module doesn't exist
[10:06] <ball> cilkay: What about Ctrl, Alt, - ?
[10:06] <fyrestrtr> tchiboo: try sudo a2enmod php
[10:06] <mjr> Kimppa, not really (and flash is a proprietary format anyway and wouldn't rather recommend its use)
[10:06] <cilkay> ball: Wouldn't that restart X?
[10:06] <fyrestrtr> or sudo a2enmod php4
[10:06] <commctrl> Kimppa, linux doesn't yet have one, but there are a couple good efforts underway
[10:06] <ball> cilkay: Perhaps, although I thought that was Ctrl, Alt Backspace
[10:06] <MoNkUnClE> ok,maybe i am not askinga clear enough question,i get that i use patch but i am trying to install a diff for gaim 2 otr plugin because my off the record plugin doesn't work in gaim 2 beta 3 any help would be much appreciated,thx
[10:06] <tchiboo> fyrestrtr: this module doent exist
[10:06] <Kimppa> bugger.... well now I need to figure out what to tell my client :)
[10:07] <ball> hello geser
[10:07] <fyrestrtr> tchiboo: if those don't work, sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php4
[10:07] <fyrestrtr> tchiboo: then, sudo a2enmod php4
[10:07] <cilkay> ball: you're right, it is backspace. Minus just seems to cycle down but it still pans. I'm sure I've seen a KDE applet for switching desktop resolutions before.
[10:07] <commctrl> Kimppa, tell them that Adobe's insistence on keeping SWF proprietary has led to the creation of SVG, and soon (hopefully) svg will gain popularity
[10:07] <fyrestrtr> MoNkUnClE: this would be something to ask in the gaim channel.
[10:08] <MoNkUnClE> ok thx fyrestrtr
[10:08] <ball> cilkay: I have no idea about KDE, sorry.
[10:09] <tchiboo> fyrestrtr: done
[10:09] <tchiboo> a2enmod module installed
[10:10] <tchiboo> fyrestrtr: but it it still won't work
[10:11] <commctrl> tchiboo, try #apache, they've probably run into this before
[10:11] <ruxpin> where's the gnome trash located?
[10:11] <ruxpin> kde's trashbin is ~/.Trash
[10:11] <Bonkadooda> News from #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:11] <ruxpin> can I symlink them to point to the same location?
[10:11] <commctrl> ruxpin, in .Trash-* in the root directory of each mountpoint
[10:11] <Bonkadooda> brotakul he's out
[10:11] <Bonkadooda> Bonkadooda he finally came out?
[10:11] <Bonkadooda> Bonkadooda respect bill.....
[10:11] <Bonkadooda> brotakul so i heared
[10:11] <Bonkadooda> Bonkadooda dont drop the soap fellas
[10:11] <Bonkadooda> Bonkadooda ok
[10:11] <Bonkadooda> * nybble has quit (Client Quit)
[10:11] <Bonkadooda> Bonkadooda it will make it easier for other gay men to come out
[10:11] <commctrl> ruxpin, it's probably an OpenDesktop standard
[10:11] <bintut> ikor: i already found it..  /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst
[10:11] <bintut> gtg
[10:12] <bintut> thanks..
[10:12] <commctrl> Bonkadooda, do not do that again

[10:19] <damian_> how do I find out what OS I have
[10:19] <damian_> where do I go
[10:20] <MatthewV> damian_, System --> About Ubuntu should help :)
[10:21] <phlexy-says-hi> got5 + server pmfw no gods
[10:23] <dckirba> hello everyone
[10:23] <ChrisNiemy> mhm is there a command line option for what damian_ was asking?
[10:24] <Flannel> ChrisNiemy: uname -r will give you a kernel version
[10:24] <commctrl> ChrisNiemy, man uname to get more ways to see what your compy is
[10:24] <Madpilot> type 'lsb_release -a' in the terminal
[10:25] <ChrisNiemy> i can not remember anymore, but i guess there was something which one could grep from /proc or so
[10:25] <SuperDav3005> hi
[10:25] <ChrisNiemy> Madpilot: thanks, that was the command
[10:26] <Madpilot> np
[10:26] <ChrisNiemy> also thanks to Flannel and comctrl :)
[10:27] <ChrisNiemy> damian_ got it?
[10:28] <GStubbs43> Hey, anyone know if it is possible to make the xmms window bigger, I can't resize it. :(
[10:28] <solsTiCe> hi. i have a luks encrypted partition.  when i login i got a pmount-hal window that ask for my passwd. but then after that it freezes ! how to remove that window or make it work ?
[10:28] <solsTiCe> GStubbs43: you could double its size. check in the right-click menu
[10:29] <GStubbs43> solsTiCe: that makes it look really 'pixelated' is that the only way?
[10:29] <ChrisNiemy> GStubbs43 in the options menu somewhere you can adjust this also
[10:30] <solsTiCe> GStubbs43: i don't know i don't use xmms
[10:30] <SuperDav3005> what could i use to burn cds in ubuntu
[10:30] <Madpilot> SuperDav3005, data or music?
[10:30] <mirek> hi everyone. How about using multimonitor in Ubuntu with nVidia?
[10:30] <SuperDav3005> music
[10:30] <ChrisNiemy> Gstubbs43 perhaps you can select bigger font types. but i'm afraid it is the only option. but i dont know exactly. personally i prefer BMP
[10:30] <Paladine> mirek man nvidia-xconfig pay particular attention to twinview
[10:30] <Madpilot> SuperDav3005, Serpentine works nicely - just put a blank CD in your burner, you should get a popup
[10:31] <Paladine> you need to enable xinerama too
[10:31] <SuperDav3005> have you tried gnomebaker yet
[10:31] <SuperDav3005> i have both wasn't sure witch one would be better
[10:32] <ChrisNiemy> SuperDav3005 if you were used to some burning programm like NERO or so, try K3B (also works fine under Gnome). but for just burning audio cds try gnomebaker or as mentioned serpentine
[10:32] <Madpilot> SuperDav3005, gnomebaker works; I prefer serpentine for audio CDs, myself
[10:32] <mirek> paladin: Is simple to set it up? Does standard installation of ubuntu contains it?
[10:32] <SuperDav3005> thks
[10:33] <ChrisNiemy> SuperDav3005 in k3b there is a cool option, where you can burn a hidden track before the first track :D so that you have to push pause before the first track and then rewind :)
[10:33] <Flannel> mirek: https://help.ubuntu.com/communty/XineramaHowTo
[10:34] <mirek> Flannel: 404 :)
[10:34] <Flannel> mirek: er, no it's not.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo
[10:34] <GnarusLeo> nice, since when did ubuntu support SD laptop readers
[10:35] <SuperDav3005> i can do stunts
[10:35] <ccooke> GnarusLeo: a long time, actually
[10:36] <ccooke> GnarusLeo: they're usually just USB card readers, which have been well supported in linux for ages
[10:36] <GnarusLeo> ccooke, oh, really
[10:36] <GnarusLeo> like internal standard usb?
[10:36] <GnarusLeo> 2.0 that is
[10:36] <ccooke> GnarusLeo: yes.
[10:37] <ccooke> GnarusLeo: USB has actually been a godsend for standardisation of laptop parts
[10:37] <ccooke> GnarusLeo: loads of stuff works on usb these days
[10:37] <GnarusLeo> I think thats great
[10:38] <mirek> well, in won't be so hard to set up. Is there big difference in behavior then in Windows 2k/XP?
[10:41] <picosam> hello everyone; I have a question please; I've been trying to get a better driver for my ATI Radeon Mobility 9700 (RV360) card for my Dapper installation for a couple of days now with no success
[10:42] <picosam> the default driver installed with Xorg works, but looks like the refresh rate is screwed or something; I don't even know how that can be since I'm on my PowerBook G4 (TFT screen) which supposedly should have a fixed refresh rate
[10:44] <picosam> so is there a way to get a better driver for my card?
[10:45] <cerdg> picosam:  have you checked the ATI website?
[10:45] <noiesmo> Hello all
[10:45] <apocalictico7> hello
[10:45] <DarkPixel> Yo
[10:46] <billy> i installed ubuntu but it says "piecing load letter"

[10:46] <billy> ?
[10:46] <jonykal> hi
[10:46] <jonykal> i have a problem conecting to my wireless network
[10:46] <picosam> if they have a driver for powerpc, would it be easy to just install it over the current one?
[10:46] <cerdg> picosam:  I'm looking out there now.  Supposedly there is a driver that supports that card, but I haven't found the actual download page for it yet
[10:46] <billy> hi jonykal
[10:46] <DarkPixel> !wifi
[10:46] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[10:46] <apocalictico> what is driver is better for ati cards?
[10:46] <picosam> how do I know which driver version do I actually have installed at the moment?
[10:47] <billy> what kind
[10:47] <apocalictico> msi ati 9250
[10:47] <picosam> u know I don't even care about 3D acceleration, etc. I just wish this crazy flickering would go (only visible when, for example, I set this IRC window I'm chatting in as transparent)
[10:48] <billy> do you ubuntu?>
[10:48] <jonykal> it seems ubuntu detected my wireles card its a bcm 4318 but when i try to conect with the networking utility it tells me that the device is active but when i type ifconfig the device is not active
[10:49] <jonykal> what is happening
[10:49] <billy> did you try to plug it in?>
[10:49] <jonykal> ?
[10:49] <billy> lol
[10:49] <jonykal> it's plugged in and turned on :)
[10:50] <billy> ask madpilot he is a genius
[10:50] <syock> is there a mirror for security.ubuntu.com repository?
[10:50] <Madpilot> not about wireless, I ain't. I just run lots and lots of Cat5, like everyone is supposed to :)
[10:50] <polpak> jonykal: so what's the problem if you use the network config utility?
[10:50] <mirek> Does desktop edition of ubuntu contains server features? I need apache/php/mysql, ftp, samba
[10:50] <noiesmo> Using Ubuntu or Kubuntu is there a way to access or should I say except an invitation for M$ xp Remote Asssistant
[10:50] <billy> :)
[10:51] <geser> mirek: simple install the needed packages
[10:51] <mirek> geser: thx
[10:51] <cocos> hi, im looking for a good grapical ftp client could someone sugest me one? (i do not like the standard one from ubuntu)
[10:51] <polpak> cocos: which "standard" one are you referring to.. places->connect to server?
[10:51] <dsas> cocos: you can use gftp
[10:51] <cocos> polpak: yes that one
[10:52] <Bongdoode> fuck you all....linux is for losers who think they somehow have found this magical freedom when we are all just puppets. woman suck and they just cheat....and blow goats.
[10:52] <jonykal> polpak: i dont get any error with the utility. it takes too long to finish activateing but when it says it is activated i dont see it active in ifconfig
[10:52] <cocos> dsas: will i be able to restart after i shutdown my computer? whit gftp?
[10:52] <Madpilot> mirek, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[10:52] <Bongdoode> suck my fat cock
[10:52] <Madpilot> Amaranth, beat me to it ;)
[10:52] <noiesmo> thank you Amaranth
[10:52] <abhinay> i already have windows xp on C: partition (hda1), is it possible to run windows xp in Ubuntu ?
[10:52] <dsas> cocos: I don't see why not, you should be able to with places -> connect to server too
[10:52] <RvGaTe> wtf was wrong with him
[10:52] <yango> why do all trolls have drug related nicks?
[10:53] <polpak> jonykal: for wireless you typically use iwconfig not ifconfig
[10:53] <Madpilot> yango, guess ;)
[10:53] <mirek> madpilot: like in gentoo.....
[10:53] <dsas> abhinay: sort of, you can run windows xp in a "virtual machine", or you can use wine to help run some windows programs directly
[10:53] <tbenita> Hi, how can I set a default application for a specific mime-type in epiphany ?
[10:53] <billy> madpilot lets smoke a bowl
[10:53] <jonykal> okz let me see
[10:53] <Madpilot> billy, no, then I'd have to kick myself
[10:54] <billy> why
[10:54] <billy> u dont smoke
[10:54] <yango> because he'd become a troll
[10:54] <yango> altough that's not necessarily true
[10:54] <cocos> dsas: then i will be skipped or overwritten
[10:54] <jonykal> polpak: can i paste the iwconfig output here? is it ok?
[10:54] <billy> i hate troll's
[10:55] <polpak> jonykal: no, use pastebin
[10:55] <syock> just don`t feed them
[10:55] <polpak> jonykal: see topic
[10:55] <dsas> cocos: I'm afraid I don't quite understand the problem.
[10:55] <Madpilot> !pastebin
[10:55] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[10:55] <billy> billy i s happy
[10:56] <abhinay> dsas: Yes, "Virtual Machine" if i use it, is it necessary to install windows xp again in Ubuntu ?
[10:56] <syock> getting list of updates from security.ubuntu.com and archive.ubuntu.com yields different results. I assume they`re different then?
[10:56] <dsas> abhinay: Yes, you'll have to reinstall it to the virtual machine.
[10:56] <syock> If so, are there any local mirrors for security.ubuntu.com?
[10:56] <dsas> syock: there is I think, though it's preferred you use security.ubuntu.com
[10:57] <abhinay> dsas: but, i already hv installed in C partition ...:(
[10:57] <jonykal> ok done
[10:57] <Ace2007> hi i got this error when running aclocal : http://pastebin.com/761676    Can someone please help me to sort it
[10:57] <jonykal> polpak: can you see it?
[10:58] <dsas> syock: try adding a dapper-security repo to your other lines, it *may* work, though perhaps you won't get security fixes as fast as you should
[10:58] <cocos> dsas: nevermind i already figured it out.. thanks for trying anyway
[10:58] <billy> try www.win98.xp.com/madbuttpirate/pilot.swf
[10:58] <polpak> jonykal: paste the url to your pastebin here
[10:58] <jonykal> polpak: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19463
[10:59] <polpak> jonykal: is your wireless wep encrypted?
[10:59] <syock> dsas: tried that, but it doesn`t list the updates available at security. How long does it take for a mirror to update itself?
[10:59] <fyrestrtr> is anyone here using freeloader?
[10:59] <fyrestrtr> on my system it hogs the cpu, just wondering if that's the case with anyone els.e
[10:59] <billy> my roommate is a freeloader
[11:00] <billy> does that count
[11:00] <dsas> syock: "it depends" I think. I wouldn't think too long in general, but some may lag behind.
[11:00] <CrippsFX> I have my xorg.conf posted at: http://pastebin.ca/111296  ... I have it set up to do Xinerama so that "AboveMonitor" is located abovr my default monitor (oddly enough), but when I start up X, all I get is a cloned screen ... can somebody take a look and help me out with this?
[11:00] <jonykal> polpak: yes the authentication is wep-open and i do have an encryption key
[11:01] <timalot> anyone know how to the environment variable to change the gtk theme for an application?
[11:01] <timalot> wha
[11:01] <timalot> t
[11:01] <fyrestrtr> CrippsFX: what video card?
[11:01] <syock> dsas: thanks. I`ll try again when new updates come up again.
[11:01] <CrippsFX> fyrestrtr, Radeon XPress 200M
[11:01] <fyrestrtr> CrippsFX: use the ati.com binary drivers.
[11:01] <jonykal> polpak: also the channel should be 6 but i dont see where to configure such things
[11:01] <CrippsFX> .. and I am using the binary drivers (installed via the wiki instructions)
[11:01] <fyrestrtr> they have this built-into the control panel.
[11:01] <billy> just wanted to know what does k-line mean?>
[11:02] <fyrestrtr> a server disconnect
[11:02] <fyrestrtr> a (forced) server disconnect
[11:02] <billy> thks
[11:02] <chemaja> to users of XChat-GNOME 0.12: is anyone else experiencing slow redraw when switching back to this application, relative to redraw time of other programs?
[11:02] <billy> what about g-lined
[11:03] <fyrestrtr> ra rurroh
[11:03] <fyrestrtr> ^^ Scooby Doo
[11:03] <CrippsFX> fyrestrtr, when I tried to use the ones from ati.com they didn't work, I installed the ati.com drivers for my last kernel ... (so that I could use XGL), but they won't load when I reinstall for my current kernel ...
[11:03] <fyrestrtr> CrippsFX: did you rebuild them for your new kernel?
[11:03] <CrippsFX> (and using the ATI control panel I get the same results)
[11:04] <polpak> jonykal: did you put in the wep key (to the network tool)? and are you sure you've selected the correct essid, and key type?
[11:04] <CrippsFX> fyrestrtr, I did, once. But, as I said, I built them for my current kernel, and installed them. After that when I tried "modprobe fglrx" it couldn't find the fglrx module, and my Xorg would mess up when it was set up to use that module.
[11:04] <polpak> jonykal: because it looks like it's just not configured right
[11:04] <Madpilot> chemaja, switch to real XChat, it's far more usable than that mess that is XChat-Gnome
[11:05] <billy> africa is swell
[11:05] <nocti> how do i update ubuntu on a non-connected box? thanks
[11:05] <billy> i live in a hutt
[11:05] <billy> next to a tree
[11:05] <billy> with a coconut
[11:05] <chemaja> Madpilot: but... think of the children! And Gnome Desktop! ;-)
[11:05] <Madpilot> billy, off topic chat to #ubuntu-offtopic, please...
[11:05] <billy> sry
[11:05] <billy> what is the topic?>
[11:05] <fyrestrtr> CrippsFX: you have two serverlayout sections?
[11:06] <Lobster> nocti, you can set up the sources.list to use a DVD as repository
[11:06] <fyrestrtr> CrippsFX: comment out the top one.
[11:06] <Evil_Ed`> hey
[11:06] <Madpilot> chemaja, I love Gnome, it rocks - but the same is not true of XChat-Gnome... it's a cut-down abortion of a program
[11:06] <nocti> Lobster, where is sources.list located? thanks
[11:06] <Lobster> but i'm not sure if it works for updates
[11:06] <Evil_Ed`> not sure
[11:06] <chemaja> Madpilot: lol, switching........................... now
[11:06] <billy> i like the way you handeled airzer0
[11:06] <billy> he sux
[11:06] <Lobster> /etc/apt/soures.list
[11:07] <nocti> Lobster, thanks
[11:07] <CrippsFX> fyrestrtr, I had the other one commented out, and it gave me the same results.
[11:07] <taavi> hi
[11:07] <fyrestrtr> dunno what is wrong with it to be honest.
[11:07] <fyrestrtr> haven't done dual head on my laptop yet.
[11:07] <GStubbs43> Anyone know if it is okay to delete key.gpg.asc in my home folder (I believe it is from automatix)
[11:07] <fyrestrtr> GStubbs43: is it bothering you?>
[11:07] <jonykal> polpak: ive tryed both key types (ascii & hex) and ime sure i selected the right eesid but i cant specifically select WEP-OPEN (no option availiable)
[11:08] <jonykal> polpak: what can i do?
[11:08] <CrippsFX> fyrestrtr, dang. thanks for trying though, it is appreciated :)
[11:08] <Darkside3> hi
[11:08] <GStubbs43> Actually, yes fyrestrtr. ;)
[11:08] <fyrestrtr> then delete it
[11:08] <taavi> how can i get my sys tray back?
[11:08] <taavi> i accidentally removed it
[11:08] <GStubbs43> Well, will it mess anything up?
[11:08] <Madpilot> taavi, right-click on the panel, choose Add To Panel, select Notification Area
[11:08] <fyrestrtr> GStubbs43: guess you'll have to find that out.
[11:09] <GStubbs43> fyrestrtr: Thanks. ;)
[11:09] <lucas> hi, I installed ubuntu server, but no messages are shown during boot (there's no splash in the server edition). I really need to see those messages....
[11:09] <fyrestrtr> GStubbs43: it won't.
[11:09] <fyrestrtr> lucas: dmesg
[11:09] <GStubbs43> All right.
[11:09] <lucas> I'm talking about post-init messages, not the kernel ones
[11:09] <lucas> I get the kernel ones
[11:10] <taavi> thanks
[11:10] <fyrestrtr> lucas: like?
[11:10] <lucas> like "starting openssh server: ."
[11:10] <lucas> :-)
[11:10] <fyrestrtr> ah
[11:10] <fyrestrtr> those

[11:12] <jonykal> polpak: what about i disable the security in my accespoint and i try to conect that way
[11:12] <polpak> jonykal: sounds like a good idea

[11:15] <fyrestrtr> that's the line.
[11:15] <Amaranth> DJAdmiral: he is spamming
[11:15] <fyrestrtr> oh just saw what you posted.
[11:15] <Madpilot> DJAdmiral, spammers - I wouldn't click on it, it's probably goatse or porn...
[11:15] <Amaranth> Madpilot: it's spanish
[11:15] <lucas> I know, but the point is: I don't have quiet in my /proc/cmdline
[11:16] <fyrestrtr> sorry, lag here lucas.
[11:16] <fyrestrtr> don't know why you don't see anything -- such is not the case on my server install :(
[11:16] <DJAdmiral> meh
[11:16] <azcazandco> hello folks, anyone here ever got gimpshop up and running?
[11:16] <fyrestrtr> a shop to sell gimps?
[11:16] <lucas> it's a cluster node, so I might be using non-standard /proc/cmdline
[11:17] <lucas> or maybe it's the serial console ...
[11:17] <Half-Left> gah, damn nvidia driver :/
[11:17] <MatthewV> fyrestrtr, its a gimp interface that replicates the photoshop interface
[11:17] <fyrestrtr> MatthewV: I know, just having some fun.
[11:17] <nikin> good morning
[11:17] <MatthewV> fyrestrtr, no problems :)
[11:18] <Half-Left> fyrestrtr, still not luck, unable to load module "nvidia" no module name nvidia exsists :/
[11:18] <azcazandco> I am trying to work from this how to - http://linux.suramya.com/tutorials/Install_GIMPShop/ but I am having trouble with some of the packages
[11:18] <Half-Left> no*
[11:19] <jonykal> polpak: is there any util to detect availiable networks?
[11:19] <tuna> Here's a dumb question for you: How can I reboot x without restarting the system?
[11:19] <zugu> hi all
[11:20] <polpak> jonykal: well, the easy way is to go to the networking gui tool, and click the down arrow on essid
[11:20] <nikin> tuna : Ctrl Alt Bkspace
[11:21] <jonykal> polpak: that should display availiable networks???? ive typed in manually
[11:22] <jonykal> polpak: something is not right
[11:22] <polpak> jonykal: you can type it in if you like, but clicking the dropdown should display the networks also
[11:22] <taavi> how can i watch avi videos
[11:22] <nikin> jonykal there is a gui in System>Administratein>networking
[11:23] <nikin> there click on the wlan card
[11:23] <nikin> and the settings button
[11:23] <tuna> thanks
[11:23] <nikin> there will be a rolldown menu on the top side of the window with the networks
[11:23] <zugu> as many of you know, more and more ISPs are blocking BitTorrent traffic; because of this, more and more trackers are banning clients that use ports lower than 10000; the default Ubuntu BitTorrent client is in this situation and I want to change the ports it is listening to; however, i just can't find a freaking configuration window! the lack of options is just shocking! can soneone please help me? please don't recommend oher clients, it's about the default one
[11:23] <nikin> you can set the wep there to
[11:24] <jonykal> nikin: yes ive done that but the networks don't show up
[11:24] <polpak> jonykal: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo is a good place to look for examples on using the command line tools
[11:24] <nikin> zugu: ISP-s arent blocking all ports over 10000
[11:25] <polpak> jonykal: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessNetworking shows the gui
[11:25] <zugu> nikin > no, they are blocking ports below 10000
[11:25] <MenZa> What thing, azcazandco?
[11:25] <zugu> nikin > I just want to make the client use ports higher than 10000; but where is the options window?
[11:25] <azcazandco> getting gimpshop installed
[11:26] <azcazandco> I have tried several things
[11:26] <MenZa> Get the .deb.
[11:26] <azcazandco> have tried that
[11:26] <MenZa> Hmm.
[11:26] <T0k3n> hello
[11:26] <azcazandco> it never seemed to do very much when I tried it
[11:26] <MenZa> Let me just warn you; it's nothing like Photoshop
[11:26] <taavi> how can i watch avi videos
[11:26] <MenZa> !restrictedformats > taavi
[11:26] <tenco> hi
[11:26] <azcazandco> MenZa: I have gathered that from what I have read
[11:26] <MenZa> I was extremely disappointed when I first tried it.
[11:26] <MenZa> Anyway.
[11:26] <tenco> how do i set gnome's PATH-Variable?
[11:26] <MenZa> I couldn't compile it.
[11:26] <MenZa> I found a deb.
[11:27] <Bassetts> how can i restore the firefox and thunderbird logos?
[11:27] <azcazandco> MenZa: I am finding thr whole gimp a nightmare to work with
[11:27] <azcazandco> I am trying hard but have 8yrs of photoshop behind me
[11:27] <T0k3n> looking for a good torrent program other than azeurs, bittorrent, bittornaddo?
[11:27] <azcazandco> and gimp just isnt as intuitive
[11:27] <nikin> zugu: where is the application? how can i start it?
[11:27] <zugu> nikin > that is the problem, you can only start it by downloading a torrent
[11:28] <nikin> thats not a problem, give me a sec
[11:28] <sanmarcos> webmin is not in ubuntu?
[11:28] <fyrestrtr> zugu: alacarte menu editor > internet > right click on bittorrent, then in the Command dialog, edit it so its gnome-btdownload --minport 10000 --maxport 15000 %U
[11:28] <Darkside3> i find azureus is the best
[11:29] <zugu> fyrestrtr > thank you so much, I thought no one could help me
[11:30] <zugu> fyrestrtr > what is the meaning of %U ? I find it in almost all the shortcuts in the menu
[11:30] <MenZa> azcazandco, trust me. I know how you feel.
[11:30] <MenZa> 4 years of Photoshop for me.
[11:30] <MenZa> The Gimp was a nightmare to work with
[11:30] <T0k3n> i like to eat waffles
[11:30] <azcazandco> and have you managed to adjust?
[11:30] <MenZa> Never.
[11:31] <azcazandco> I am tempted to get windows running in a virtual machine
[11:31] <chemaja> Madpilot, aah xchat... MUCH faster, thanks :-D
[11:31] <ccooke> MenZa: According to my (graphics artist type) wife, the main problem is the gimp *is* pretty good, but people are so used to photoshop, they can't find anything...
[11:31] <MenZa> ccooke, I agree.
[11:31] <MenZa> GIMP is nice, once you know how to use it
[11:31] <azcazandco> but I am stressed at the thought of having to configure samba and a host of other things
[11:31] <MenZa> But it really feels like it was designed to be as different from Photoshop as possible.
[11:31] <chemaja> ccooke, what about that KDE one... what was it called again?
[11:31] <MenZa> kart?
[11:32] <ccooke> chemaja: never used it
[11:32] <azcazandco> gimp looks real powerful
[11:32] <MenZa> And it is.
[11:32] <chemaja> krita, i think
[11:32] <smacky_wolf> Hey guys. My sound has departed once more. How can I see what's using my soundcard?
[11:32] <fyrestrtr> zugu: its the argument to the passed file, iirc
[11:32] <MenZa> krita, yeah.
[11:32] <azcazandco> but even simple things like not being able to hit the v key and move stuff about is just killing me
[11:32] <azcazandco> had a look at pixel but not willing to part with cash for a a *beta* product
[11:33] <fyrestrtr> zugu: and for more options, man gnome-btdownload
[11:33] <zugu> fyrestrtr > I noticed that the applications also launch and work perfectly without the %U argument; what does it actually do? is it bad to leave it out when manyally creating launchers ?
[11:34] <fyrestrtr> I am not sure to be honest, but I believe it has to do the default arguments.
[11:34] <tenco> so, there's no way for setting PATH in gnome?
[11:34] <fyrestrtr> tenco: for what?
[11:35] <tenco> fyrestrtr: gnome
[11:35] <fyrestrtr> you want to set a path in gnome, for gnome?
[11:35] <azcazandco> MenZa: Just found this which might help me http://epierce.freeshell.org/gimp/gimp_ps.php
[11:35] <tenco> fyrestrtr: gnome desktop environment: http://www.gnome.org
[11:35] <MenZa> cool, azcazandco
[11:35] <azcazandco> is to do with remapping keys
[11:35] <fyrestrtr> tenco: yes, thank you. I know what gnome is.
[11:36] <nikin> !life
[11:36] <ubotu> I know nothing about life - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[11:36] <tenco> fyrestrtr: yes. like, when i start applications with alt-f2 and have custom applications installed in, let's say ~/opt, and i don't want to give a complete path to an application i installed there
[11:37] <tenco> fyrestrtr: or this installed application needs some other application which it cannot find, because the path it's installed is not in the PATH variable
[11:37] <fyrestrtr> tenco: this is something you have to setup in your shell. export PATH=$PATH:/home/yourusername/opt
[11:38] <fyrestrtr> tenco: edit .bashrc to make this permanent
[11:38] <tenco> fyrestrtr: i don't want to start this application from a terminal, but from gnome
[11:38] <tenco> fyrestrtr: from a starter in my panels eg.
[11:38] <smacky_wolf> Anyone, how can I see what is using /dev/dsp?
[11:39] <doluu> is there any way to mark package to not upgrade in future?

[11:40] <fyrestrtr> tenco: if the application relies on binaries that are in the path, you need to either append the full path to those file to the current path, or edit the app so that it calls the binaries with the fully qualified path. So, either edit /etc/profile and set the path there, or call your binaries with the full path from the panel.
[11:40] <fyrestrtr> doluu: synaptic, right click, freeze.
[11:40] <fyrestrtr> _roman_: I don't think it does.
[11:40] <doluu> but from command line?
[11:40] <_roman_> fyestr: any docs somewhere?
[11:41] <fyrestrtr> _roman_: google would be where I would start
[11:41] <braini> anyone can help me with syslog? i have a minor issue... at 7:40 in the morning (every day) syslogs gets restarted... but only one mark will be set after that... at 8 o'clock... but it supposed to be every 2 minutes after that...
[11:41] <braini> 20 minutes
[11:41] <tenco> fyrestrtr: sorry, no. i did it with other environments when i used ~/.xsession , so it should work with gnome likewise
[11:42] <fyrestrtr> tenco: you want to execute it at session startup?
[11:42] <_roman_> ok ill google
[11:42] <tenco> fyrestrtr: i want that the whole gnome session (and all instances of it) knows this extra path
[11:42] <fyrestrtr> tenco: you could try adjusting the path in a script, then sticking that in the startup tab of the sessions applet ( system > preferences > session > startup tab )
[11:43] <fyrestrtr> tenco: that way, it would affect that entire session, and anytime you started a gnome session.
[11:43] <tenco> fyrestrtr: ok, i will try. additionally, i will ask on gimpnet
[11:43] <tenco> fyrestrtr: thanks
[11:43] <fyrestrtr> tenco: also try ##gnome
[11:44] <Bergcube> What bash-command will tell me how much RAM Ubuntu has found in the computer?
[11:44] <tenco> fyrestrtr: i did already. not so crowded :-\
[11:44] <fyrestrtr> Bergcube: free -lm
[11:45] <tammy_004> <:-)
[11:45] <fyrestrtr> Bergcube: or cat /proc/meminfo
[11:45] <Bergcube> fyrestrtr~  Thanks a lot.  Worked like a charm.
[11:45] <Bassetts> how can i restore grub after install windows =(
[11:45] <fyrestrtr> !grub
[11:45] <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
[11:46] <Bassetts> thankyou
[11:46] <tammy_004> !n00b
[11:46] <ubotu> I know nothing about n00b - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[11:46] <smacky_wolf> OK, a reset of X confirms my sound does indeed work. The Gnome login made the noises it should, I just can't use my sound device becuase something else is.
[11:47] <fyrestrtr> have you already tried !dmix?
[11:47] <Dravas> What is a good app to make an FTP server out of my PC
[11:47] <farous> smacky_wolf: lsof /dev/dsp
[11:47] <fyrestrtr> proftpd, pureftpd etc. There are many.
[11:47] <farous> will tell you what is using the sound
[11:47] <fyrestrtr> Dravas: but if you just want to transfer files, use scp
[11:48] <tammy_004> try www.win98.xp/madpilot_sux-C0ck.swf/hehe
[11:48] <smacky_wolf> farous, thanks
[11:48] <Dravas> I just want a simple FTP server running
[11:48] <Dravas> I'll try those
[11:50] <zugu> anyone know if streamripper will work with rythmbox ?
[11:51] <nrdb> is there a gnome applet that can display text in the panel?
[11:51] <Bassetts> how do i find out where grub is currently installed?
[11:51] <pppoe_dude> whats a gif-like animation format for linux/?

[11:51] <zugu> pppoe_dude > try svg
[11:51] <braini> why not gif ^^
[11:51] <zugu> pppoe_dude > actually, svg is a vector format
[11:52] <pppoe_dude> zugu, i am quite familisr with svg
[11:52] <pppoe_dude> does it do frames like gifs do?
[11:53] <zugu> pppoe_dude > actually, it's more like flash - the devs want to replace the flash proprietary format with the free, open svg one
[11:53] <pppoe_dude> and i dont think it would work i\on all browsers
[11:53] <__w> 000111011 0111 11000 001
[11:53] <pppoe_dude> ya
[11:53] <zugu> pppoe_dude > I thing it works on everything, except text based browsers and IE
[11:53] <pppoe_dude> does it work ok IE?
[11:53] <pppoe_dude> ok

[11:54] <LazyMukke> hey , when working from the live cd, what's my root pswd ?
[11:54] <fyrestrtr> Bassetts: it installs by default on your MBR -- which is on the first bootable disk in your system.
[11:54] <nrdb> Bassetts: by standard it isn't on any partition but a special block of the drive
[11:54] <Madpilot> LazyMukke, there isn't one - everything should work on the LiveCD without a pw
[11:54] <linux_manju> LazyMukke: There isnt any.. If you want do sudo su -
[11:54] <fyrestrtr> Bassetts: I don't know of a way to detect where it is, since the MBR is not normally accessible.
[11:54] <tzfardea> hey i have problem the volume of my microphone is very very low
[11:54] <linux_manju> LazyMukke: Then passwd root will set the password
[11:54] <toodles> Hi Everyone. I have a problem with my network connection. It was setup with DHCP during installation. There were no errors then and there are no errors during boot. However I cannot connect to the internet unless I go into the network settings and deactivate eth0 and then reactivate it. After I do that everything works fine, but I have to do that everytime I start my computer. Any ideas?
[11:55] <zugu> anyone know if streamripper works with rythmbox ?
[11:55] <lhds> how to rm  a file with space inbetween ? like Windows XP Professional.vmx
[11:55] <linux_manju> toodles: Check your /etc/network/interfaces file
[11:56] <linux_manju> toodles: There should be "auto eth0" line If it isnt it wont come up
[11:56] <toodles> linux_manju, ok, 1 sec
[11:56] <LazyMukke> Madpilot : even 'mount' ?
[11:56] <tzfardea> lhds, escape the spaces with \
[11:56] <cowmilk> i would like the Ubuntu Installer iwith text install. which ISO should i download?
[11:56] <smacky_wolf> Bwahah. Fixed it. =3
[11:56] <sobersabre> toodles when the computer starts, what is the status of the interface ?
[11:56] <zugu> cowmilk > I think the server one
[11:56] <linux_manju> lhds: rm file\ after speace
[11:56] <Madpilot> LazyMukke, I'm pretty sure, yeah. Just do 'sudo mount ...' and it should work
[11:56] <tzfardea> how can i change the volume of my microphone? it's very low...
[11:56] <nrdb> toodles: as far as I know it isn't possible for DHCP to configure its own interfaces, all the interfaces on the must be static IP, or configured by another DHCP server.
[11:57] <lhds> man its with a space on the filesystem
[11:57] <toodles> linux_manju, That line is there.
[11:57] <toodles> sobersabre, The interface says its active.
[11:57] <section31> how can i have 2 commands at startup?
[11:57] <nikin> did anyone sucseed to install the Canon CCPD driver?
[11:57] <lhds> Windows XP Professional.vmx the space inbetween the words is available but when i rm the file with the space it does not delete file unavailable
[11:57] <linux_manju> toodles: Does it match this...
[11:57] <zugu> lhds > try encapsulating the file name between "" or ''
[11:57] <linux_manju> toodles: auto eth0
[11:57] <linux_manju> iface eth0 inet dhcp
[11:58] <sobersabre> toodles toodles does it have an IP address ?
[11:58] <cowmilk> zugu: i want text install, but i want gui after install
[11:58] <linux_manju> lhds: try rm filepart\ and tab should complete
[11:58] <tzfardea> lhds, rm Windows\ XP\ Professional.vmx
[11:58] <toodles> sobersabre, give me a minute to reboot and check
[11:58] <zugu> cowmilk > you might want to install the ubuntu server version, and the installing the ubuntu-desktop package
[11:58] <sobersabre> toodles wait
[11:58] <nrdb> when I install the LiveCD it allowed me to resize the windows XP NTFS filesystem what command did that?  I would like to make it smaller again.
[11:58] <lhds> is the /temp directory limited with a certain amount of space?>
[11:58] <LazyMukke> and how to see all devices not mounted ?
[11:58] <cowmilk> zugu: is that better than just getting the alternate iso?
[11:59] <cowmilk> doesn't the alterrnate iso have the Text Install?
[11:59] <sobersabre> what is the connection ? DSL / cables ? modem ? is this a wifi connection ?
[11:59] <toodles> sobersabre, sure. I was gonna to a reboot and run ifconfig and check.
[11:59] <zugu> cowmilk > dunno
[11:59] <jonykal> hi
[11:59] <lhds> the /tmp folder is limited to a certain amount of space?
[11:59] <nrdb> lhds: it is limited to the size of the drive it is mounted on check out 'df' to see.
[11:59] <whadar> !samba
[11:59] <ubotu> samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[11:59] <jonykal> how can i see the warnings that ocour douring the boot procces
[11:59] <jonykal> ?
[12:00] <linux_manju> jonykal: dmesg
[12:00] <tzfardea> how can i change the volume of my microphone? it's very low...
[12:00] <toodles> sobersabre, its connected to a dsl linksys  router that's working perfectly. All other devices don't have a problem connecting.
[12:00] <jonykal> linux_manju: thanx
[12:00] <sobersabre> ok
[12:00] <linux_manju> jonykal: NP
[12:01] <sobersabre> toodles you need to check 3 things: 1. is the default gw setup OK, 2. is resolv.conf - a correct file, 3. is the IP configured.
[12:01] <toodles> linux_manju, yeah, it matches iface tho0 inet dhcp
[12:01] <lhds> how to empty /tmp?
[12:01] <toodles> sobersabre, gw setup?
[12:01] <sobersabre> default gateway
[12:01] <jonykal> linux_manju: what does this mean: hdb: error code: 0x70  sense_key: 0x02  asc: 0x30  ascq: 0x00
[12:01] <sobersabre> issue a command:
[12:02] <sobersabre> route -n
[12:02] <doluu> tnx
[12:02] <nrdb> lhds: it get cleared at bootup otherwise you can use 'rm'
[12:02] <sobersabre> and it should display routing table. look at the line beginning with 0.0.0.0 and see what computer it routes to
[12:02] <sobersabre> (IP)
[12:02] <linux_manju> jonykal: Looks like some IDE drive error..
[12:02] <sobersabre> usually it should be router's IP
[12:03] <nrdb> I have a dual booting Linux/WinXP I would like to shrink the winXP partition what is the best way to do this?
[12:03] <fortr> i have a compaq armada e500 and i can't get it to boot from the ubuntu live cd. the bios instructs it to do so, but it doesn't. is there any way i can make it run the cd? can i boot with a floppy and force it to start the cd from that?
[12:03] <linux_manju> toodles: Lets say You have rebooted just now..
[12:04] <toodles> sobersabre, 1 sec, command route not found.
[12:04] <mp3guy> hi, I've got a very serious problem; this has happened twice, I boot up ubuntu and then it scans /dev/hda2 to check for errors, it gives me hundreds of errors, and when I reboot nothing can be found in /lib/modules/(uname -r) and thus video, mouse and wifi drivers don't load, is this a hard drive problem? Is there a more rigourous disk scanning utility I can used as opposed to fsck?
[12:04] <sobersabre> then /sbin/route
[12:04] <linux_manju> toodles: What happens if you try to ping the DSL routers IP
[12:04] <jonykal> linux_manju: i think i saw something about a module that seemed to be my wificard module failed to load how can i see something more useful than hdb: error code: 0x70  sense_key: 0x02  asc: 0x30  ascq: 0x00
[12:04] <toodles> linux_manju, I didn't reboot yet, but if you give me a sec I will, and I'll tell you.
[12:05] <sobersabre> mp3guy is the hda2 the disk where linux is installed ?
[12:05] <linux_manju> toodles: Better I guess.. Is it the same PC you are using now??
[12:05] <toodles> no
[12:05] <mp3guy> sobersabre, yes its my root partition
[12:05] <taavi> hi, for some reason my update manager say that it cannot start cause another software management tool is running although none is.
[12:05] <linux_manju> toodles: Fine then reboot and.. run Ifconfig.. and paste the output here
[12:05] <sobersabre> it usually suggests to run something. did you run that something ?
[12:05] <sobersabre> ( mp3guy that's for you )
[12:06] <toodles> linux_manju, ok, rebooting now
[12:06] <jonykal> taavi: it might be that you habe the synaptic pakage manager open or some apt procces running
[12:06] <nikin> taavi: the updater is not running?
[12:06] <mp3guy> it said run fsck manually, I did, fixed all these errors, then all those files disappeared, I had to switch to the nv driver and reinstall all my kernel stuff
[12:06] <jonykal> have*
[12:06] <taavi> but i dont have anything open
[12:06] <AlexC_> hey
[12:07] <sobersabre> mp3guy and after the reinstall ... is everything working properly ?
[12:07] <taavi> yes, the updater is not running
[12:07] <nikin> taavi: is there an orange icon near the clock?
[12:07] <nrdb> taavi: try deleting the '/var/lib/apt/lists/lock' file
[12:07] <taavi> ok, itry
[12:07] <mp3guy> sobersabre, yes working fine.
[12:07] <taavi> yes there is
[12:07] <sobersabre> what's your harddisk's age ?
[12:08] <mp3guy> just over a year
[12:08] <sobersabre> mp3guy and what do you use it for ?
[12:08] <sobersabre> ( e.g. multitrack harddisk recording can be very exhausting... )
[12:08] <jonykal> has anyone here a bcm 4318 wificard??
[12:08] <nrdb> taavi: did that fix it?
[12:09] <taavi> a sec
[12:09] <tenco> smacky_wolf:  'lsof /dev/dsp' should do it
[12:09] <sobersabre> jonykal is this that "Microsoft" wifi card ?
[12:09] <mp3guy> sobersabre, just normal stuff, web surfing, music listening, small bit of dvd editing,
[12:09] <taavi> what was the command for removing?
[12:09] <jamey2> How can I easily install MythTV on Ubuntu 6.06?
[12:09] <sobersabre> mp3guy maybe the DVD editing is not the best thing to do on root partition.
[12:10] <sobersabre> mp3guy what is the partition scheme u use ?
[12:10] <Ng> jamey2: enable universe and multiverse, then you can install it with apt-get or synaptic
[12:10] <jonykal> sobersabre: ??? i dunno? how can i tell? as far as i know its a broadcom card also i know it is a very common card in hp laptops
[12:10] <jamey2> Ng: okay thanks, but someone else told me that the packages available there are unreliable with MySQL.
[12:10] <ViktorMento> how can I edit the menus for all users in gnome/ubuntu?
[12:10] <linux_manju> toodles: still booting... Dont enable the interface this time..
[12:10] <sobersabre> no, jonykal the oposite: there are external pcmcia microsoft cards, which are actually based on bmc
[12:11] <sobersabre> bcm
[12:11] <kidbuntu> who knows how to install vmware in ubuntu?
[12:11] <whadar> do i need netbios or wins enabled for a cifs mount?
[12:11] <linux_manju> toodles: Just do an ifconfig
[12:11] <Ng> jamey2: I wouldn't know about that I'm afraid, but you could check for any bugs about that at https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/mythtv/+bugs
[12:11] <jamey2> Ng: thanks!
[12:11] <petemc> can someone confirm that openwebmail didnt make it into dapper?
[12:12] <mp3guy> sobersabre, Oh, I don't use the root partition for any of that, the root partition is just for the ubuntu installation and desktop, partition scheme is; 8gb ext2 root, 60gb fat32 partition for data, 1gb swap
[12:13] <toodles> linux_manju, I did that. There is no ip for eth0. The line with "inet: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx bcast: etc etc" is not present for eth0.
[12:13] <jonykal> sobersabre: i can tell you its an integrated card. and i was unable to install it in my old ubuntu installation but the new one seemed to have detected it without much trouble
[12:13] <taavi> nrdb- no it didnt fix it
[12:13] <toodles> linux_manju, the inet6 addr line is there, but not the inet.
[12:13] <nikin> toodles: are you connecting to DHCP
[12:13] <nikin> ?
[12:14] <toodles> nikin, yes
[12:14] <jonykal> sobersabre: i mean i can see it in the device manager and also i can see it if i type iwconfig but i cant connect
[12:14] <jonykal> lol
[12:14] <nikin> toodles then ifconfig eth0 down after that ifconfig eth0 up
[12:15] <sobersabre> jonykal it can depend on wpa_supplicant.
[12:15] <sobersabre> toodles, I think you need to dump your /etc/network/interfaces file to pastebin.
[12:15] <toodles> sobersabre, np
[12:15] <jonykal> sobersabre: what's that?
[12:15] <solsTiCe> hi. i have a luks encrypted partition.  when i login i got a pmount-hal window that ask for my passwd. but then after that it freezes ! how to remove that window or make it work ?
[12:16] <toodles> nikin, i didn't run them commands yet, give me a sec
[12:16] <sobersabre> jonykal wpa is a software for wireless protected access (if I am not wrong)
[12:16] <sobersabre> if your access point uses wpa, you need to use wpa_supplicant
[12:17] <taavi> i run update manager and it says another software management tool is already running although none are. waht to do?
[12:17] <taavi> what'
[12:17] <toodles> sobersabre, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19465
[12:17] <sobersabre> taavi, run pgrep apt
[12:17] <nikin> toodles: kk
[12:17] <mp3guy> sobersabre, I don't use the root partition for any of that, the root partition is just for the ubuntu installation and desktop, partition scheme is; 8gb ext2 root, 60gb fat32 partition for data, 1gb swap
[12:18] <jonykal> sobersabre: i use a 2wire wireless router. and how do i use a wap supplicant?
[12:18] <taavi> okei, i runned it..nothing happend
[12:18] <nikin> mp3guy: why ext2?
[12:18] <mp3guy> nikin, sorry, ext3
[12:18] <toodles> nikin, I did that. Doesn't seem to be any change. Didn't work.
[12:19] <toodles> linux_manju, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19465 is my interfaces file. Any ideas what to do or try?
[12:19] <cyphase> is there a service that lets you send images from a camera phone to a phone number then download it?
[12:20] <nikin> toodles System>Administration>networking there et0 settings?
[12:20] <sobersabre> toodles do you have dhcp up on your router ?
[12:20] <nikin> toodles: are you connecting to a router?
[12:20] <toodles> sobersabre, yes
[12:20] <toodles> nikin, yes
[12:20] <solsTiCe> is it a bug or what? when i use cryptsetup on the command line it asks me twice my passphrase ???
[12:21] <fortr> i have a compaq armada e500 and i can't get it to boot from the ubuntu live cd. the bios instructs it to do so, but it doesn't. is there any way i can make it run the cd? can i boot with a floppy and force it to start the cd from that?
[12:21] <toodles> sobersabre, I had this problem before, but it was solved by reinstallin ubuntu. I just don't want to have to reinstall in twice.
[12:21] <samuel_> #ubuntu-it
[12:22] <taavi> when running synaptic manager i get this: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[12:22] <taavi> ?
[12:22] <sobersabre> toodles you don't need to "solve" by reinstalling, especially without understanding what was wrong
[12:23] <toodles> nikin, everything is normal in these settings. Interface name is eth0 and its setup as dhcp.
[12:23] <sobersabre> taavi DO THAT.
[12:23] <taavi> i dont know how...
[12:23] <sobersabre> toodles what network card do you use?
[12:23] <toodles> sobersabre, True. Sorry. I do want to find out what is wrong. I really want to understand why it's not working.
[12:23] <Dimensions> hi i have installed ubuntu on macmini but by default when it loads the option is to mac os how can i change it to ubuntu ?
[12:23] <jonykal> taavi: copy and paste that code to a terminal
[12:23] <sobersabre> taavi type: "sudo dpkg --configure -a" in the terminal
[12:23] <nikin> toodles: it says its inactive?
[12:23] <taavi> ok
[12:24] <toodles> sobersabre, I don't know. It's some onboard card.
[12:24] <toodles> nikin, no, it says its active.
[12:24] <nikin> try a ping to the router
[12:24] <sobersabre> toodles run lspci and look for Ethernet controller.
[12:24] <sobersabre> nikin if there is NO IP, ther is NO PING
[12:24] <Aladin> How can a /etc/rc2.d/xy-script  display a starting message at the ubuntu-starting-progress-screen?
[12:25] <micah_c> Where is the appropriate place to stick a command that I want gdm's server to run (as an X client)? The command in question is nvidia-settings -l, which adjusts gamma settings and such (it's currently /very/ dark).
[12:25] <nikin> sobersabre: i admit, but then it should be neither active or yes?
[12:25] <nikin> btw maybe forcing an IP could make us wiser
[12:25] <toodles> sobersabre, ok, looking through it
[12:25] <sobersabre> nikin if the interface is up, but unconfigured, it is active.
[12:25] <cyphase> nvm
[12:25] <nikin> sobersabre: then sorry, didnt know
[12:25] <sobersabre> toodles u can use "grep" to look for thernet, like: lspci | grep thernet
[12:25] <j0nney> hi
[12:26] <toodles> nikin, when clicking on "networking" the default gateway is not selected.
[12:26] <sobersabre> toodles is this a wired network ?
[12:26] <toodles> sobersabre, yeah, I'll do that
[12:26] <sobersabre> toodles don't click anything.
[12:26] <nikin> toodles: i think maybe the DHCP has problems, so maybe forcing an ip?
[12:26] <sobersabre> ok ?
[12:26] <nikin> but sobersabre knows it better :D
[12:26] <toodles> sobersabre, It's a wired network. Didn't click any settings.
[12:27] <sobersabre> toodles is this a desktop or laptop ?
[12:27] <toodles> sobersabre, "lspci | grep eth" returns nothing.
[12:27] <toodles> sobersabre, its a desktop/
[12:27] <sobersabre> toodles "lspci | grep thernet"
[12:27] <sobersabre> not eth
[12:27] <toodles> nikin, how can that be? All other devices connected to it work fine.
[12:28] <sobersabre> toodles how many IP addresses can your DHCP Server give ?

[12:33] <cowmilk> I've opened up my computer case. I see something called ATI Rage 128. Is that what's called a video card?
[12:33] <dibblego> does Ubuntu support most USB headsets or is there some fiddling required?
[12:34] <nikin> cowmilk: yes
[12:34] <cowmilk> nikin: thanks
[12:36] <bimberi> jono: heno is currently in #ubuntu-accessibility
[12:36] <AlexC_> Is there a way to change the Middle Mouse Wheel Click - to act as Double Click?
[12:37] <DJAdmiral> Hi, I've followed the instructions on RestrictedFormats in order to play other formats, but I still can't play AVI files, can anyone help please?
[12:40] <survivor> hey
[12:40] <survivor> aren't there any ubuntu live cd's anymore? :|
[12:40] <petemc> the install cd is a live cd
[12:40] <Madpilot> survivor, it's called the Desktop CD now
[12:41] <survivor> ah. That sounds funny.
[12:41] <Dixon85> Hi. How can I disable SELinux? What's SELinux for?
[12:42] <GStubbs43> How can I connect go to http://localhost:8000/ on a Windows PC on the same network, and be able to have the same thing on the Windows PC as the ubuntu? (Sorry if that was confusing)
[12:42] <bimberi> survivor: you can install from it as well, so to just continue to just call it the live cd would have misled
[12:43] <tripppy> bluetooth headsets for mobile phones working with ubuntu? is it possible?
[12:43] <Blinker> tripppy: yes
[12:44] <Blinker> up to you to find the hardware though
[12:44] <whadar> i keep getting these permission denied errors from my ubuntu server when trying to mount.cifs... here's the mount:
[12:44] <Dimensions>  is there any GPRS modem usb supported by ubuntu ?
[12:44] <dibblego> Blinker, do you have any experience with USB headsets on Ubuntu? I'm looking at buying one: http://www.umart.com.au/newindex2.phtml?bid=2
[12:44] <whadar> sudo mount.cifs //192.168.0.169/chroot /tmp/cifs -o guest ro
[12:45] <Blinker> dibblego: not really, but i do have some experience with bluetooth
[12:45] <whadar> i think something wrong with my smb.conf... :(
[12:45] <Blinker> lot of fun things you can do with it, actually =p
[12:45] <dibblego> Blinker, righto, I'm just hoping that it's not a lot of fiddling about
[12:45] <Patrick`> anyone have any idea how I might go about turning a bin/cue into an iso without extracting the music seperately like bchunk does?
[12:46] <Patrick`> I want the end result of burning to disk then ripping to iso without actually using a disk
[12:46] <whadar> can anyone post his smb.conf?
[12:46] <Patrick`> (there are mixed music and data tracks)
[12:46] <TheSheep> hello there
[12:47] <TheSheep> how do I make the Sun's java the default?
[12:47] <dibblego> TheSheep, add it to the PATH
[12:47] <Blinker> one of these days i'll find someone who knows how to enable SHMConfig....*whistles patiently* hehe
[12:47] <kana> sudo update-alternatives --config java
[12:47] <tripppy> Blinker; i have a nokia bluetooth headset and a USB bluetooth dongle. what do i need now?
[12:47] <TheSheep> kana: thanks
[12:47] <kana> ur welcomed
[12:47] <DJAdmiral> Patrick: there is a tool i know of to convert bin files into iso files, however it's a windoze proggie :|
[12:48] <Patrick`> I have a windows box available
[12:48] <DJAdmiral> Patrick': that tool is called BIN2ISO i think
[12:48] <mjr> DJAdmiral, Patrick`, bchunk will do it in Ubuntu
[12:48] <Patrick`> just as long as it doesn't split out the music tracks like bchunk
[12:48] <cbx33> hey, if I was using a gprs connection
[12:48] <mjr> Patrick`, well, the thing is, you _can't_ contain music tracks in an iso image
[12:48] <Patrick`> mjr: I can't find an option to preserve the music tracks inside the iso though
[12:48] <cbx33> how can I make sure no other processes access the network, but the ones I need
[12:48] <DJAdmiral> Patrick': do you want a link to BIN2ISO anyway?
[12:49] <Patrick`> DJAdmiral: I can find it, I think I saw it before when I was looking
[12:49] <Patrick`> mjr: so what happens when I rip a mixed mode CD to iso then?
[12:49] <mjr> Patrick`, one would presume that only the data track gets ripped
[12:49] <Patrick`> huh.
[12:49] <Blinker> tripppy: I couldn't honestly say. i havent had a need for that kind of application yet. have you tried KDE's bluetooth app?t
[12:50] <DJAdmiral> Patrick': http://www.codeproject.com/tools/Bin2Iso.asp anyway
[12:50] <Patrick`> mjr: well, the way I see it an iso is just what you get when you dd /dev/cdrom0 (or whatever) into a file
[12:50] <Patrick`> I guess I have about 70 blanks left, I can just use one
[12:50] <tripppy> Blinker, mmm. i thinks it the same as GNOME's BT apps.
[12:50] <taavi> djadmiral - did you get answer how to play avis?
[12:51] <mjr> Patrick`, indeed it is, if the CD contains an ISO-9660 format data track. But dd won't get you audio tracks.
[12:51] <DJAdmiral> taavi: no not yet
[12:51] <taavi> i have the same problem
[12:51] <Patrick`> mjr: aha, I see
[12:51] <mjr> Patrick`, you need an audio ripper application for that, like cdparanoia (or a frontend)
[12:51] <DJAdmiral> Patrick': found a linux version of bin2iso: http://users.eastlink.ca/~doiron/bin2iso/linux
[12:51] <Blinker> !avi

[12:51] <Patrick`> DJAdmiral: if that mjr says is true I'd be as well ripping it, I'll see what happens but I don't think it'll work
[12:51] <Blinker> !easyubuntu
[12:51] <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.
[12:51] <Blinker> also works for media support
[12:52] <taavi> i've installed all the gstreamer codecs, divx codecs and more but still only avidemux shows avis files
[12:52] <Patrick`> Pfft, don't make the helper bot tiptoe around the truth
[12:52] <tomveens> hi
[12:52] <Patrick`> easyubuntu automates the installation of proprietary and sometimes illegal-in-america code
[12:52] <Patrick`> I totally condone it in every way :D
[12:52] <Blinker> Patrick`: ^5
[12:52] <DJAdmiral> Blinker, taavi: I used easyubuntu and the restricted formats wiki page. I STILL can't play avis.
[12:53] <Patrick`> DJAdmiral: what player is it?
[12:53] <Patrick`> for some reason the default player never works for me
[12:53] <DJAdmiral> Blinker, taavi: help? is there another program i should use to play avis?
[12:53] <Patrick`> I do it through vlc or mplayer
[12:53] <survivor> errrr.
[12:53] <Blinker> default player worked for everything here, even .tob's
[12:53] <survivor> So will there be a day when there's only ONE ubuntu distri again?
[12:53] <Blinker> after the update, that is
[12:53] <survivor> I thought that was a great plus back then.
[12:53] <survivor> :/
[12:53] <DJAdmiral> Patrick', Blinker, taavi: I've used xine, gxine, and totem
[12:53] <taavi> i used vlc, installed easyubuntu, still cant
[12:53] <Patrick`> totem, that's the one
[12:53] <Patrick`> I don't like it, it never works
[12:54] <DJAdmiral> taavi: are you able to play avis?
[12:54] <Patrick`> and mplayer introduces a short audio delay into every file it opens
[12:54] <Patrick`> vlc works for me
[12:54] <nikin> survivor :D hope not, i need both  ubuntu and xubuntu
[12:54] <taavi> djadmiral: no
[12:54] <survivor> How comes?
[12:54] <kidbuntu> help please. how do install windows xp using vmware
[12:54] <DJAdmiral> Patrick': the only thing i ever played with it was the Nelson Mandela example video lol
[12:54] <Patrick`> this is the beauty of open source - people say that things lack polish, but because there's like 3 of everything, you'll find something
[12:54] <Patrick`> DJAdmiral: well of course the sample video will work ;)
[12:54] <Patrick`> that's about all that'll work
[12:55] <DJAdmiral> Patrick': so true lol
[12:55] <survivor> Patrick: Actually, I think that's not beautiful at all :(
[12:55] <survivor> (Guess which kind of computer/OS I use.)
[12:55] <taavi> is it a problem for many? cant play avis?
[12:55] <Patrick`> ok, let's say all the competitors to mplayer died in a fire
[12:55] <Patrick`> what happens in the fringe cases where mplayer doesn't work?
[12:56] <DJAdmiral> dangit, i'm downloads 9.7 gigs of avi videos and yet i can't play them. is there anybody here who can play avi files at all?
[12:56] <Patrick`> having less competition doesn't make the mplayer devs suddenly be able to buy one of every hardware type
[12:56] <jahshua> hey peeps
[12:56] <survivor> That's why I pay for software :)
[12:56] <jahshua> anyone have a link on using Opera with Dapper please ?
[12:56] <finalbeta> I read their finally will be a linux driver for NTFS that will be stable to read / write. it's beta now.
[12:56] <taavi> djadmiral: same question..
[12:56] <sishgupta> avis work for me
[12:56] <Patrick`> finalbeta: yeah, the drawback is it uses fuse so the performance is ... eh
[12:57] <survivor> But I guess I'm not really in the ubuntu target audience. Just getting it for somewhere else :
[12:57] <survivor> :)
[12:57] <survivor> (Or in the Linux target audience to start with.)
[12:57] <DJAdmiral> jahshua: you can download and install opera through the add/remove programs interface
[12:57] <nikin> Survivor: what kind of audience are you?
[12:57] <DJAdmiral> sishgupta: how do you play avi files?
[12:57] <finalbeta> Patrick`, yeah, I've read. But I guess I can live with that, altho 10 minutes to write 2Gb is a bit long.
[12:57] <DJAdmiral> !opera
[12:57] <ubotu> opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser.  Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" is checked.
[12:57] <sishgupta> mplayer or vlc
[12:58] <agresor> guys i have NTFS mounted partition in /media/hda6    but it have permission READ-ONLY. How to change permission of that partition ?????
[12:58] <Patrick`> finalbeta: yeah, with ntfs it's mostly reading anyway
[12:58] <nrdb> How do I tell grub that I want to boot windows XP with a partition as the D drive?
[12:58] <Patrick`> so read it ro
[12:58] <jahshua> cool, thanks DJAdmiral.
[12:58] <sishgupta> or totem
[12:58] <DJAdmiral> np jahshua
[12:58] <Patrick`> agresor: you can't without risking damage to the files
[12:58] <nikin> !ntfs
[12:58] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[12:58] <agresor> Patrick`,  anyway.. tell me :)
[12:58] <Dixon85> I need to disable SELinux. How can I do that?
[12:58] <finalbeta> Patrick`, atleast external harddrives can be formatted in NTFS, that is something many users will need. Sinse you can't just ext3 them because they need to be usable on pretty much every system.
[12:58] <DJAdmiral> sishgupta: totem doesn't play my avis, but i'll try mplayer and vlc. i'll go download them now. thanks
[12:59] <DJAdmiral> !selinux
[12:59] <ubotu> I know nothing about selinux - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:59] <zugu> is aptana WYSIWYG, like Dreamweaver?
[12:59] <DJAdmiral> !SELinux
[12:59] <ubotu> I know nothing about SELinux - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:59] <Patrick`> finalbeta: true, but fat32 for thumbdrives
[12:59] <Bassetts> can someone help me, im trying to restore grub and the guide i found is not working
[12:59] <sishgupta> if totem doesnt work i dont think mplayer will and vlc prolly wont
[12:59] <taavi> djadmiral: tried them both, still dont play avis
[12:59] <sishgupta> have you used automatix?
[12:59] <agresor> chmod dont work.. i tryed to change permission like that
[12:59] <agresor> ;\
[12:59] <survivor> nikin: I like polish and out-of-the-box workingness, I HATE editing text-based configuration files, I hate compiling, I need Photoshop and a C++ IDE with a well-integrated debugger to breathe.
[12:59] <sishgupta> you have to install some packages from automatix first
[12:59] <survivor> So ubuntu is the closest distribution to my needs, but not more.
[12:59] <[b] urk> Dixon85, i think it is something with the setenforce command
[12:59] <[b] urk> try man setenforce
[12:59] <finalbeta> Patrick`, for small filesystems that will probably stay the standard for years indeed. MP3 players etc also want a simple filesystem I guess.
[01:00] <DJAdmiral> sishgupta: i have automatix, but i used easyubuntu  to install the multimedia codecs.
[01:00] <agresor> guys i have NTFS mounted partition in /media/hda6    but it have permission READ-ONLY. How to change permission of that partition ?????
[01:00] <DJAdmiral> sishgupta: that was after i tried the restrictedformats wiki page.
[01:00] <Patrick`> yeha, it's just a pain that there's no journalling fs writable from all of them
[01:00] <agresor> anyone pleaseeeeeeeeee?
[01:00] <DJAdmiral> !ntfs
[01:00] <Dixon85> [b] urk: no manual entry for setenforce :(
[01:00] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[01:00] <toodles> sobersabre, Thanks for all your help. Unfortunately I have to go, and need the machine up and running. I know that its not the solution, but I'm under a bit of time pressure, so I have to do a reinstall. I really appreciate the effort and help though. Thank you kindly :-)
[01:00] <ccooke> agresor: wait a few months until the new version of the ntfs driver becomes stable
[01:00] <fortr> my laptop refuses to boot from cdrom even when that is specified in the bios. is there another way for me to run the ubuntu livecd? can i boot with a floppy and start the cd from there or something?
[01:00] <nikin> survivor: then just use windows
[01:00] <[b] urk> Dixon85, google
[01:01] <survivor> nikin: No, OS X. But Windows is the runner-up for me :)
[01:01] <Dixon85> [b] urk: I'm googling for one hour :(
[01:01] <ccooke> agresor: NTFS is a complicated filesystem and MS have not released the specifications necessary to make writing a driver at all easy
[01:01] <agresor> ccesario,  i have 60 GB on that partition. and i cant put there anything
[01:01] <agresor> and cant delete there
[01:01] <agresor> :((((((((((((
[01:01] <DJAdmiral> agresor: microsoft refuses to be co-operative on how to read/write NTFS partition data
[01:02] <nikin> surcivor: OSX has its own limitations to
[01:02] <DJAdmiral> agresor: so atm dapper can read NTFS, but not write to it.
[01:02] <agresor> hmmmmm
[01:02] <nikin> yes it works out of the box
[01:02] <ccooke> agresor: As I said, there will be a new driver supporting full read/write access. It's in testing now.
[01:02] <agresor> so i can just format that fucking partition
[01:02] <sishgupta> you can write to a network ntfs drive with samba.
[01:02] <DJAdmiral> agresor: that would be a good idea, and mind your language please :)
[01:02] <agresor> ok.. :)
[01:02] <cavediver> Hi.
[01:02] <ccooke> agresor: It *might* be ready in time for Edgy's release, might not. I'd be surprised if it wasn't in Edgy+1
[01:03] <agresor> now.. how to format drive ?
[01:03] <agresor> cfdisk?
[01:03] <ccooke> agresor: first, back up the data you want
[01:03] <taavi> DJAdmiral - what if the avi probelm is not concearning codecs..?
[01:03] <agresor> ccesario,  done
[01:03] <cavediver> Seems like gnome-cups-add is crashing when adding a printer. Seems like a known bug. However I can't find a fix
[01:03] <agresor> what next /
[01:03] <Patrick`> hoo boy
[01:03] <DJAdmiral> agresor: maybe. i think i'll just try automatix first.
[01:03] <nikin> taavi: mybe media layer...
[01:03] <Patrick`> agresor: back up everything on the same disk as well, just in case
[01:03] <Patrick`> be prepared to lose the entire disk
[01:03] <taavi> nikin - whats that?
[01:03] <ccooke> agresor: you need to change the type of the file system. You can use fdisk or gparted for that.
[01:04] <fortr> my laptop refuses to boot from cdrom even when that is specified in the bios. is there another way for me to run the ubuntu livecd? can i boot with a floppy and start the cd from there or something?
[01:04] <agresor> hmmm tell me full command in fdisk
[01:04] <ccooke> you need to set the type to '83' ('Linux')
[01:04] <agresor> its ok  cfdisk
[01:04] <agresor> brb.. :)
[01:04] <nikin> taavi: dont know how these things work in ubuntu, but i think there must be something like Directshow in windows, and that   can suck
[01:04] <agresor> so i will format it with ext3 ?
[01:04] <DJAdmiral> fortr: not that i know of any such boot disk, but do floppies run with bios?
[01:04] <fortr> DJAdmiral: yes
[01:05] <survivor> nikin: Well, I admit that when I get to the limitations, I might actually start apt-getting and compiling stuff. But in general, I can live with the few limitations (like the Finder not being 100% cool)
[01:05] <johlin> I just installed new fglrx-drivers, the newest version but not apt-get upgrade says that fglrx-kernel-2.6.15-23-386 depends on xorg-driver-fglrx with an older version than the one I have. Will this fix itself after a reboot?
[01:05] <taavi> nikin: thanks, but do you know anything about Directshow?
[01:05] <ccooke> agresor: Yes, ext3. I would suggest using something lioke gparted (which you'll need to install)
[01:05] <DJAdmiral> fortr: there is something i know of
[01:06] <DJAdmiral> fortr: usually whenever my cd-rom drive wouldn't boot directly from pc startup i would usually pop in my win95 boot disk and boot the cd from there.
[01:06] <survivor> Actually, with the BSD kernel and all that other open source stuff under the hood, I think of OS X as being a commercial but polished *nix distri :)
[01:06] <Otacon22> how I configure network by dchp in shell?
[01:06] <DJAdmiral> fortr: let me try and look for an appropriate disk anyway
[01:07] <fortr> DJAdmiral: okay, thank you noble sir
[01:07] <ccooke> agresor: Install gparted, then tun it from System -> Administration -> Gnome Partition Editor
[01:07] <ccooke> agresor: okay?
[01:07] <DJAdmiral> fortr: :P don't thank me as yet, haven't found anything
[01:07] <fortr> DJAdmiral: heheh
[01:07] <Nameeater> where are sshd logs kept in dapper?
[01:07] <nikin> survivor: its about the way of thinking, I use Gimp, Code in Lazarus/FPC, drink 10 Coffe a day, have 3 PC-s for 2 men, uptime every second of my life, and refuse the idea of Expensive Applications and TCPA
[01:07] <taavi> DJAdmiral - any update on avis?
[01:08] <DJAdmiral> taavi: Automatix is booting
[01:08] <stefg> Otacon22: you want a dhcp lease? sudo dhclient. You want to configure the NiC? Edit /etc/network/interfaces
[01:08] <nikin> taavi: not deep, but i sucked once with it :D
[01:08] <DJAdmiral> taavi: it's currently running it's autoscript.
[01:08] <nikin> thats all
[01:08] <taavi> :P
[01:08] <cavediver> Noone have the gnome-cups-add problem ?
[01:08] <TheSheep> Is there kqemu for ubuntu?
[01:09] <taavi> DJAdmiral - automatix is what? :P

[01:10] <kidbuntu> can someone help me please. i'm having problems with regards of install vmware on ubuntu. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19466
[01:11] <DJAdmiral> fortr: i'm having trouble finding such a disk but i'll keep looking.
[01:11] <nrdb_> how do I setup grub so when winXP boots it uses a partition as the D drive?
[01:12] <[cro] smiley> hi guys
[01:12] <survivor> nikin: Well, I'm more the mineral water type of person, but I see where you are going at ;)
[01:12] <stefg> kidbuntu: sudo aptitude install vmware-player-kernel-modules
[01:12] <DJAdmiral> fortr: no luck really.
[01:12] <kidbuntu> stefg: thnks i'll look into it
[01:13] <DJAdmiral> taavi: automatix is taking millenia to boot.
[01:13] <taavi> djadmiral: how did you install it? i cant understand..
[01:14] <DJAdmiral> taavi: It BOOTED!
[01:14] <taavi> dj : wohoo!!!
[01:14] <taavi> dj: tell me if it works ...
[01:14] <nikin> survivor: where?
[01:14] <DJAdmiral> taavi: www.getautomatix.com
[01:14] <survivor> With the state of mind thing.
[01:15] <nikin> survivor :D so we all have our way... its not better, or worse
[01:15] <cinex> I installed ubuntu for the first time today; then ( cos i didnt getkubuntu) I installed kde. it was all looking dead nice; as soon as i installed my nvidia drivers all the fonts became way to small and ugly; To fix that i lowered the resolution to 1024x768 ( a depth of 24 means?) now it all looks ugly; is there an easy way to get everything nice again or do i have to edit everything by hand, one a ta time
[01:15] <nikin> Survivor: so why arent you using OSX then?
[01:16] <cinex> i think i'd rather uninstall the graphcs cadr
[01:16] <cinex> card
[01:16] <survivor> nikin: Hmm, I am :) Just getting ubuntu to test my library on Linux.
[01:16] <nikin> survivor: what kind of lib are you working on?
[01:17] <survivor> Game development (www.raschke.de/julian/gosu)
[01:17] <survivor> Development kind of got slow during the last time, though :/

[01:19] <danf_1979> Is there a way to mount /var in the swap partition? Im on the live cd now, and I want to do some tests, but Im running out of space
[01:20] <taavi> dj: :)
[01:20] <danf_1979> I would like to mount /var on my disk swap partition

[01:20] <fyrestrtr> Lioda: best to ask in #ubuntu+1
[01:21] <Lioda> ok
[01:21] <kidbuntu> whats the problem of my system if i got this message "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. "
[01:21] <danf_1979> what about mounting / on swap? no either?
[01:21] <kidbuntu> i just installed ubuntu 6.06 LTS using a live CD that ubuntu delivered to me
[01:21] <Patrick`> kidbuntu: have you tried manually running 'dpkg --configure -a' ?
[01:21] <fyrestrtr> danf_1979: no, what are you trying to do?
[01:21] <kidbuntu> Patrick` not really
[01:21] <Patrick`> try doing that
[01:22] <DJAdmiral> fortr: i said i had no luck
[01:22] <kidbuntu> Patrick` i cant even use synaptic and update manager now
[01:22] <danf_1979> Im testing a python program that installs and configures various severs> apache, postfix, etc... but I dont know what happened to my qemu. I get kernel panic, so I thought about using the live cd to do my tests
[01:22] <Dimensions> guys .. is there any usb Modem you know about could be used with ubuntu ?
[01:23] <Patrick`> kidbuntu: just open a terminal and type that command in
[01:23] <danf_1979> but I run out of space when downloading the packages
[01:23] <danf_1979> :>
[01:23] <hs_125> USB modem!
[01:23] <accleo> Has anybody else the problem of xgl not being able to shutdown/reboot?
[01:23] <Patrick`> usb modems are bad
[01:23] <DJAdmiral> taavi: nothing really for me to do while this thing downloads, so erm, i'm going to do some KSudoku lol
[01:24] <fyrestrtr> accleo: yeah this is a known issue with xgl
[01:24] <Dimensions> sorry just to correct my question any USB GPRS modem supported by Ubuntu ?
[01:24] <kidbuntu> Patrick` this what showed http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19467
[01:24] <jahshua> whats the story with getting Flash player to work on Dapper?
[01:24] <blup|patrick> hi
[01:24] <taavi> dj: have fun :)
[01:24] <fyrestrtr> !flash > jahshua
[01:24] <danf_1979> I only have 196MB to download+compile+install
[01:24] <blup|patrick> has someone an idea how to install eclipse 3.2 libs
[01:24] <blup|patrick> those whcih are demanded bei azureus
[01:24] <Patrick`> kidbuntu: ah.
[01:25] <Patrick`> kidbuntu: does it do the same thing when you try again?
[01:25] <kidbuntu> Patrick` yep
[01:25] <DJAdmiral> out of curiosity, is there already an edgy eft beta available?
[01:25] <danf_1979> damn, I think Ill erase some stuff from /usr
[01:25] <jan1024188> how to login gui as root?
[01:25] <fyrestrtr> blup|patrick: you can just download the linux package of azureus and run it. You need to make sure java is installed and working first. To setup Java, see !java
[01:25] <fyrestrtr> danf_1979: ermm, no. Bad idea.
[01:25] <Patrick`> jan1024188: I don't think you can
[01:25] <blup|patrick> fyrestrtr: well.. each start
[01:25] <blup|patrick> i get that annoying message, that i have to update libswt to run properly
[01:26] <blup|patrick> i have to use that latest beta, coze that azurues from the repos has a annyoing bug
[01:26] <fyrestrtr> DJAdmiral: I think there is a very early beta (many bugs) available as a cd image. Ask in #ubuntu+1
[01:26] <accleo> fyrestrtr: thank you! I think I've read sthg about, but any solution purposed, some page maybe?
[01:26] <danf_1979> uninstall openoffice!
[01:26] <danf_1979> yeah!
[01:26] <blup|patrick> in the final version the sliding notifie on the down right side of the screen cant be clicked away
[01:26] <Patrick`> that'll clear some space
[01:26] <DJAdmiral> jan1024188: i think you need to do 'sudo passwd root' first
[01:26] <blup|patrick> fixed in the latest beta, but now i ahve to install libswt3.2
[01:27] <fyrestrtr> blup|patrick: just download the version from repos, download the package from azureus.sf.net, and then move Azureus.jar from the downloaded package to /usr/share/azureus
[01:27] <kidbuntu> Patrick` can you help me with it??
[01:27] <fyrestrtr> blup|patrick: yeah, its a known bug.
[01:27] <blup|patrick> i did
[01:27] <blup|patrick> and NOW IT DEMANDS UPGRADING eclipse to swt 3.2
[01:27] <Patrick`> kidbuntu: hmm.
[01:27] <blup|patrick> crap, is my english that bad :|
[01:28] <Patrick`> no idea, I'm afraid
[01:28] <Patrick`> I've never used the vmware player so I don't know what might be going wrong
[01:28] <danf_1979> After unpacking 183MB will be freed.
[01:28] <danf_1979> Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?]  Y
[01:28] <danf_1979> heheh
[01:28] <fyrestrtr> Patrick`: just download the eclipse archive, extract the swt.jar file, and copy it over to /usr/share/azureus -- that *should* work
[01:28] <Patrick`> blup|patrick: what he said
[01:29] <fyrestrtr> ah sorry about that
[01:29] <Patrick`> just makin' sure the right person gets hilighted
[01:29] <Patrick`> perfectly understandable
[01:29] <livingdaylig> anyone seen Ubuntu LXF edition?
[01:29] <fyrestrtr> ?? what's that?
[01:30] <mwe> lxf?
[01:30] <DJAdmiral> kidbuntu: is it really necessary that you have to install VMWare Player to get Windoze  XP? Can't you use a dualboot or something?
[01:30] <livingdaylig> LInux Fomat
[01:30] <livingdaylig> Linux magazine
[01:30] <mwe> no
[01:30] <livingdaylig> anyone seen the ubuntu edition?
[01:30] <data-pata> any gdesklets devs here who could help me out with a problem?
[01:30] <livingdaylig> They are lovin Ubuntu
[01:30] <fyrestrtr> are you sure its not just the dvd? Linux User magazine packaged a ubuntu dvd in their august issue.
[01:30] <tich> has anyone used a program called comix? it can't open my cbr files, am i missing some vital step?
[01:31] <livingdaylig> fyrestrtr: no they dedicated 8 pages to ubuntu
[01:31] <livingdaylig> They are lovin Ubuntu
[01:31] <kidbuntu> DJAdmiral: using dual boot doesnt help me also. everytime i'm in the middle of the installation of windows xp my screen turns into blue and installation is exited suddenly. restarting my computer. and there it is. it shows up again
[01:31] <mwe> livingdaylig: In reality there is only one Ubuntu. the different ones just install a different set of packages by default
[01:31] <fyrestrtr> ah so they did a review :) Good good. Linux User also had a good review of Ubuntu, plus they packaged the dvd with the mag.
[01:31] <livingdaylig> i don't know if it is a uk publication only
[01:31] <blup|patrick> fyrestrtr: usr share azurues?
[01:31] <blup|patrick> ok... btu there is only a plugin folder
[01:32] <livingdaylig> mwe: you mean there is only one linux ?
[01:32] <blup|patrick> shall i put that lib in that plugin folder?
[01:32] <mwe> livingdaylig: no
[01:32] <fetale> Hello
[01:32] <DJAdmiral> kidbuntu: did you install ubuntu or winxp first?
[01:32] <kidbuntu> DJAdmiral: i think theres something wrong with the ubuntu live CD. the first time i used 6.06 LTS is i directly updated it from breezy 5.10. and it really worked just fine
[01:32] <fetale> I don't suppose anybody has any luck with getting BCM4318 Wireless cards to work
[01:32] <livingdaylig> maybe if israel and Lebanon shared Ubuntu there would be peace
[01:32] <kidbuntu> DJAdmiral: i installed xp first] 
[01:32] <fetale> I've found a few how-tos
[01:32] <fetale> but to no avail
[01:32] <DJAdmiral> kidbuntu: hmm.
[01:33] <mwe> livingdaylig: ubuntu. kubuntu, edubuntu, unbunte. they are the same but install a different set of packages by default
[01:33] <livingdaylig> I'm loving google Earth
[01:33] <kidbuntu> I think i have to restart from the beggining again.
[01:33] <livingdaylig> mwe: lol, i know
[01:33] <mwe> livingdaylig: ok
[01:33] <DJAdmiral> kidbuntu: upgrading from breezy to dapper by the live cd has issues, using the alternate cd would have been better.
[01:33] <mwe> livingdaylig: I'll stop playing clever about it then ;)
[01:34] <livingdaylig> mwe: actually, i don't know unbunte!
[01:34] <livingdaylig> mwe: no, don't stop!
[01:34] <livingdaylig>  8-)
[01:34] <fyrestrtr> blup|patrick: /usr/lib/java -- sorry, wrong path.
[01:34] <kidbuntu> DJAdmiral:  i think it really is
[01:34] <blup|patrick> fyrestrtr: i tried that first
[01:34] <blup|patrick> ubuntu didnt found that
[01:34] <blup|patrick> doesnt work
[01:34] <fyrestrtr> !upgrade
[01:34] <ubotu> Upgrading to Ubuntu 5.10 breezy -> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade  Upgrading to Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades  Note: gksudo "update-manager -d" always updates to the latest development version.
[01:34] <fetale> nobody has had any luck with Broadcom 4318 wireless cards?
[01:35] <fyrestrtr> blup|patrick: that's because the path is hardcoded in the installer file, you'll have to do some tweaking if you are comfortable with it.
[01:35] <mwe> fetale: it probably works with ndiswrapper if there is not a linux native driver for it
[01:35] <DJAdmiral> kidbuntu: but personally i'd save myself all the hassle and format my hard disk to an FAT32 or NTFS partition, install winxp, then install ubuntu with the alternate cd and partition properly during the ubuntu installation.
[01:35] <fetale> I've tried ndiswrapper
[01:35] <fetale> no dice
[01:35] <DJAdmiral> taavi, you there?
[01:35] <blup|patrick> fyrestrtr: ya... now were getting closer...
[01:35] <accleo> !
[01:35] <ubotu> I know nothing about ! - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:35] <fetale> it finds the hardware
[01:35] <blup|patrick> fyrestrtr: HOW do i tweak that
[01:35] <fyrestrtr> blup|patrick: gksudo gedit /usr/bin/azureus -- and you'll see the path is hardcoded, just adjust it ;) Then, when it works, write a wiki entry for it.
[01:36] <fetale> but the light on my laptop doesn't go off
[01:36] <fetale> *on
[01:36] <livingdaylig> what would be amazing is a version of google earth with live stream of evrey inch  of the planet
[01:36] <mwe> fetale: did you do everything correctly, using the recomended windows driver? not any driver will work
[01:36] <kidbuntu> DJAdmiral: when shipping an ubuntu CD. do they only ship Live CD's??
[01:36] <fyrestrtr> !broadcom
[01:36] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[01:36] <fetale> mwe: I used the one from my manufacturer
[01:36] <fetale> nothing
[01:37] <DJAdmiral> kidbuntu: yes, they only ship desktop cds
[01:37] <mwe> fetale: it's not nesecarely the right one to use
[01:37] <DJAdmiral> kidbuntu: you'll have to download and burn an alternate cd.
[01:37] <fetale> then I used the one from a how to (http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=190177)
[01:37] <mwe> fetale: and the status light doesn't work here though the card works fine
[01:37] <fyrestrtr> mwe: what is ubunte ?
[01:37] <mwe> fyrestrtr: a typo
[01:37] <kidbuntu> DJAdmiral: thanks for making me remember that there was an issues with live cd's
[01:37] <fetale> mwe: it won't show up under network manager
[01:37] <accleo> !me
[01:37] <ubotu> I know nothing about me - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:38] <fyrestrtr> mwe: oh, for a second I thought it was ubuntu with e17 :(
[01:38] <mwe> fetale: you need to configure it from the command line
[01:38] <livingdaylig> i just bought a viewseven tft 19 widescreen monitor
[01:38] <fetale> mwe:but according to ndiswrapper the hardware is ok
[01:38] <DJAdmiral> kidbuntu: basically i just had to download the iso image file, and burn it using CDBurnerXP SE Pro or some program like that i think
[01:38] <mwe> fetale: then it probably is
[01:38] <kidbuntu> DJAdmiral: i think i'll go back to breezy and perform an upgrade again. coz i dont have an Burner
[01:38] <blup|patrick> fyrestrtr: thx i ll try that :)
[01:38] <mwe> fetale: what does ifconfig -a say or iwconfig?
[01:38] <fetale> mwe: right, ndiswrapper -i ... did that
[01:38] <blup|patrick> thats the first guess that may help :) :)
[01:38] <mwe> fetale: that's a good start
[01:39] <accleo> !gmail
[01:39] <ubotu> gmail is a webmail service. For information on using it with Evolution see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingGmailWithEvolution
[01:39] <fetale> mwe: it's not showing on ifconig -a
[01:39] <mwe> fetale: what about iwconfig?
[01:39] <DJAdmiral> kidbuntu: i really wouldn't do that. try a friend who has a burner?
[01:39] <kidbuntu> DJAdmiral: is there a possibility that my screen would turn to blue and exit windows installation suddenly if my windows xp cd has defects like scratches or something
[01:40] <fetale> mwe: "no wireless extensions." all accross the board
[01:40] <mwe> fetale: lsmod|grep ndis?
[01:40] <DJAdmiral> kidbuntu: possibly.
[01:40] <fyrestrtr> kidbuntu: BSOD is generally hardware related.
[01:40] <fetale> mwe: 1 sec...
[01:40] <kidbuntu> fyrestrtr: whats BSOD??
[01:40] <fetale> mwe: what is that supposed to do?
[01:40] <DJAdmiral> kidbuntu: Blue Screen of Death
[01:40] <AlexC_> blue screen of death .. muhaha
[01:40] <mwe> fetale: show if the kernel module is loaded
[01:41] <accleo> !ftp
[01:41] <mwe> fetale: if it doesn't show anything it's not
[01:41] <ubotu> FTP clients: gftp, konqueror, kbear, nautilus. FTP servers: ftpd, proftpd, pure-ftpd, twoftpd, vsftpd
[01:41] <DJAdmiral> I loved the live BSOD video
[01:41] <fetale> mwe: hmmm... nothing came up
[01:41] <DJAdmiral> has anybody else seen that live BSOD video?
[01:41] <mwe> fetale: sudo modprobe ndiswrapper, then iwconfig again
[01:41] <kidbuntu> fyrestrtr: so you mean to say there's something wrong with my RAM or HARDDRIVE?
[01:41] <data-pata> no one here who's good at gdesklets scripting?
[01:41] <blup|patrick> fyrestrtr: problem is, in that package azurues downloaded is no swt-gtk.jar
[01:41] <AlexC_> accleo: it's ashame Linux doesn't haev a good GUI FTP client really
[01:41] <blup|patrick> there is only a swt.jar
[01:41] <DJAdmiral> kidbuntu: again, no.
[01:42] <fetale> mwe: unfortunately not
[01:42] <DJAdmiral> AlexC: Nautilus can browse through FTP servers
[01:42] <mwe> dmesg
[01:42] <mwe> fetale: dmesg, does it show anything regarding ndis near the end?
[01:42] <fetale> mwe: nothing
[01:43] <mwe> fetale: did the module load?
[01:43] <DJAdmiral> kidbuntu: do you really have to use winxp btw?
[01:43] <mwe> fetale: lsmod|grep ndis again
[01:43] <fetale> mwe: not according to the command line
[01:43] <AlexC_> DJAdmiral: Browse, yes - but I mean gFTP hursts your hands and gives you RSI because it has no Tree View, KBear well ... just doesn't upload,
[01:43] <kidbuntu> DJAdmiral: so theres nothing wrong with my hardware stuffs right??
[01:43] <mwe> fetale: that probably means it loaded
[01:43] <fetale> mwe: oh, okay
[01:43] <mwe> fetale: lsmod|grep ndis again
[01:43] <xapaho> hi! is there any video conf app that supports hebrew ? amsn does not seem to be a killer in this regards
[01:43] <mwe> fetale: does it show?
[01:44] <DJAdmiral> AlexC_: ah
[01:44] <fetale> mwe: yes ndiswrapper           227136  0
[01:44] <fetale> usbcore               153276  5 ndiswrapper,usbhid,ehci_hcd,ohci_hcd
[01:44] <AlexC_> DJAdmiral: yeh - that's what I was going to code my own FTP Client soon
[01:44] <mwe> fetale: ok
[01:44] <DJAdmiral> kidbuntu: i suppose not. probably the winxp cd is terrible. but microsoft is
[01:44] <DJAdmiral> AlexC_: I'll beta test it!!!
[01:44] <mwe> fetale: that's it?
[01:45] <fetale> mwe; that is all it gave me
[01:45] <mrDaniel> how can I format a usb-stick under ubuntu?
[01:45] <blup|patrick> fyrestrtr: it doesnt work
[01:45] <mwe> fetale: I gotta go. I'll help you later if you're here. I'm sure it's possible to make it work
[01:45] <kidbuntu> Patrick` hey i have some questions. does this error messages that i showed you are the cause of using the CD for installation that ubuntu shipped to me?
[01:45] <mrDaniel> under Computer->Right_Click i can't find 'format' or anythink else
[01:45] <taavi> dj: any luck?
[01:45] <AlexC_> DJAdmiral: sure =) I've gotta learn C++ First, i'm mostly a Web Developer you see
[01:45] <fetale> mwe: thanks for the help
[01:45] <DJAdmiral> taavi: it's still downloading.
[01:45] <fetale> mwe:this card has a history of being problematic
[01:45] <taavi> dj: ok
[01:45] <DJAdmiral> AlexC_: there's a python book that comes with ubuntu
[01:46] <AlexC_> nah, I don't like Python
[01:46] <DJAdmiral> AlexC_: Python is the preferred language of ubuntu.
[01:46] <kidbuntu> DJAdmiral: so my problem with ubuntu is solved then??
[01:46] <DJAdmiral> kidbuntu: er, no
[01:46] <DJAdmiral> kidbuntu: did you check the cd integrity?
[01:47] <AlexC_> DJAdmiral: really? I keep thinking Python is like ..... not the best language in the world, C/C++ just seems Solid and more of a programming language, Python seems small ( Which it isn't )
[01:47] <kidbuntu> DJAdmiral: if the error didnt shows up on installing vmware. it shows up on other application while installing it.
[01:47] <kidbuntu> DJAdmiral: Whats integrity??
[01:47] <kidbuntu> heheheh
[01:48] <DJAdmiral> AlexC_: yep it is, C/C++ is pretty good on windoze though. i used to program Delphi games on Windoze. i made 1945 lol
[01:48] <DJAdmiral> kidbuntu: something you don't have :P no seriously, did you check cd integrity when the CD booted up?
[01:48] <fyrestrtr> DJAdmiral: where did you get that info?
[01:48] <AlexC_> really? cool - so you think I should code it in Python and not C/C++ ?
[01:48] <DJAdmiral> taavi: 90% of the download is done supposedly
[01:49] <DJAdmiral> fyrestrtr: what info? could you be specific please?
[01:49] <taavi> dj: what did you choose to install?
[01:49] <fyrestrtr> the info that python is the preferred language of ubuntu
[01:49] <taavi> dj: on the avi side
[01:49] <kidbuntu> DJAdmiral: i'm not really good in english okay. so whats integrity with regards to the CD?? is it the defects?
[01:49] <DJAdmiral> taavi: MPlayer, Vlc, and codecs i think
[01:49] <DJAdmiral> fyrestrtr: it's written in the official ubuntu documentation. let me find that page
[01:49] <taavi> dj: hmm, i've tried mplayer and vlc, didnt show avi...
[01:50] <DJAdmiral> kidbuntu: when the cd booted, did it show you any options?
[01:50] <DJAdmiral> fyrestrtr: system documentation is loading
[01:50] <stefg> !info w32codecs
[01:50] <ubotu> Package w32codecs does not exist in dapper
[01:51] <kidbuntu> DJAdmiral: well...? yeah. i followed the options. i made the partitions
[01:51] <DJAdmiral> fyrestrtr: Ubuntu Desktop Guide --> common tasks --> programming. it's there.
[01:52] <DJAdmiral> kidbuntu: as soon as your live cd booted, what options did you see?
[01:52] <kidbuntu> DJAdmiral: the error showed while installing windows xp was. a Kernel Module it said. it said check my hardware blahbalh blah
[01:52] <kidbuntu> DJAdmiral: you mean the windows??
[01:52] <jahshua> ok i have followed all the instructions on the restricted formats page and i cant get flash to play in firefox, can anyone help me out please?
[01:53] <DJAdmiral> jahshua: try easyubuntu.
[01:53] <DJAdmiral> worked for me.

[01:55] <salah> and therefore it's necessary to use a tracker with it too, enabled?
[01:55] <keb> hi, my partition on wich i had my grub became raw, i have important documents on that partition, can i get them back?
[01:55] <DJAdmiral> kidbuntu: no i mean what's the first thing you see when you start the ubuntu live cd.
[01:55] <Ben_> hello
[01:56] <kidbuntu> DJAdmiral: choose how to install it. the options are. install ubuntu. start ubuntu on safe graphics mode. memory test. boot from harddisk
[01:56] <xapaho> hi again -- trying to migrate an hebrew user from windows to 6.06 -- all we miss now is an msn client with webcam support, but amsn does not seem to take hebrew (based on X, not gtk ?). what's your advice ?
[01:56] <DJAdmiral> kidbuntu: no other options? no other options at all?
[01:57] <fyrestrtr> xapaho: ekiga, or wait for the next version of gaim
[01:57] <DJAdmiral> taavi: the install completed, i'm going to check it out now.
[01:57] <taavi> dj: thumb up
[01:57] <kidbuntu> DJAdmiral: i didnt look quite at those at all. but there are other options at the bottome like he F1 F2. for whatever to choose
[01:58] <DJAdmiral> kidbuntu: there should be an option called check cd integrity
[01:58] <xapaho> fyrestrtr: thanks
[01:58] <jan1024188> can u download and use debian packages?
[01:58] <kidbuntu> DJAdmiral: for linux. i think i didnt realy saw that option
[01:59] <DJAdmiral> jan1024188: certainly. use the deb command to do si
[01:59] <DJAdmiral> jan1024188: ubuntu is actually a debian based distro :)
[01:59] <DJAdmiral> kidbuntu: i dunno then. that option is on my live cd.
[01:59] <gord> jan1024188, its not recomended, allthough ubuntu is based on debian it is not exsacly the same and will cause problems a lot of the time (weather you can see the problems or not)
[01:59] <npster> Can someone make a script for me ?
[02:00] <jan1024188> thanks for answer actualy in fedora core user .......new on ubuntu
[02:00] <jan1024188> *im
[02:00] <kidbuntu> DJAdmiral: i like just check on it again
[02:01] <npster> I guess not...
[02:01] <sg> hey, is there a way i can make terminal transparent? i dont see the option
[02:01] <fyrestrtr> why the **** isn't eclipse 3.2 in repos?
[02:01] <DJAdmiral> gord: but all the packages in the ubuntu repositories are debian packages.
[02:01] <Qnix> sg, what terminal .... gnome-terminal ?
[02:01] <npster> sg: I think that only KDE and GNOME have transparent terminal "emulators"
[02:02] <sg> the gnome terminal
[02:02] <fyrestrtr> with xgl you can
[02:02] <Chousuke> aterm can be transparent too
[02:02] <gord> they arn't exsacly the same DJAdmiral, they might of had bugfixes or even be diffirent versions. that is why lots of people supply ubuntu .debs and debian .debs
[02:02] <fyrestrtr> so can eterm
[02:02] <scrilla-> one quick question
[02:02] <Qnix> Edit current profile -> Effects -> transparent background
[02:02] <scrilla-> how do i apt-get install gnome and all its dependencies?
[02:02] <scrilla-> apt-get install gnome?
[02:02] <Qnix> sg, thats just for the back ground
[02:03] <npster> Can someone please make a script for me ???
[02:03] <fyrestrtr> scrilla-: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[02:03] <sg> Qnix lemme try bro
[02:03] <Qnix> sg, if you want the whole terminal to be transparent you need xgl
[02:03] <DJAdmiral> gord: i think what he means exactly are .deb archives, not debian debian archives.
[02:03] <sg> but doesnt xgl eat lotta ram/
[02:03] <scrilla-> hrm
[02:03] <sg> this computer isnt too fast
[02:03] <DJAdmiral> npster: what kind of script?
[02:03] <xapaho> fyrestrtr: thanks, ekiga would seem to be the answer indeed -- didn't know it was msn compatible. will come back to let you know, cheers
[02:03] <taavi> DJ : avis working?
[02:03] <scrilla-> fyrestrtr it says broken packages
[02:03] <xapaho> for now, seeya all
[02:04] <scrilla-> a quick question
[02:04] <DJAdmiral> taavi: some packages got timed out and didn't install, i have to apt-get them first
[02:04] <scrilla-> i have ubuntu and all of its stuff in spanish
[02:04] <scrilla-> is it possible to switch to english?
[02:04] <scrilla-> on the fly, without reinstallin the whole system
[02:04] <sg> Qnix: this is 500mhz/512ram/8mb vid, would XGL work good?
[02:04] <DJAdmiral> scrilla-: did you install ubuntu yourself?
[02:04] <Chousuke> sg: probably not.
[02:05] <sg> lol
[02:05] <npster> DJAdmiral: One that can check at regular intervals if /etc/resolv.conf contains only "nameserver 192.168.1.1" and if it does to add these two "nameserver 62.162.32.5" & "nameserver 62.162.32.6"
[02:05] <scrilla-> DJAdmiral my co worker did, he choose spanish on the install
[02:05] <Chousuke> sg: does the video card do 3d acceleration? :P
[02:05] <lefthanded> is it easy to install a zoom usb adsl modem on ubuntu
[02:05] <sg> Chousuke: i'm not that lucky
[02:05] <scrilla-> everything is in spanish, the console, just about everything, is it possible to switch to english on the fly?
[02:05] <salah> fyrestrtr, that's one of the most stupid answers I ever got in this channel
[02:05] <Qnix> yes it migh work ... but not as its working on nivida ..
[02:05] <sg> Chousuke: i should be thankful i have a OS running lol.. anyways the transparent background feature would do for now
[02:06] <DJAdmiral> scrilla-: as far as i remember, if you choose a language during the install that language becomes your system default language and you can't change it. i think, i'm not completely sure
[02:06] <Chousuke> sg: I wouldn't recommend that to you.
[02:06] <Chousuke> sg: it takes a lot of CPU
[02:06] <scrilla-> fyrestrtr apt-get install ubuntu-desktop is not going, it says there are broken packages
[02:06] <npster> DJAdmiral: Is it possible ?
[02:06] <Chousuke> sg: you haven't really got the resources to spare. :P
[02:06] <fyrestrtr> salah: what?
 salah: because there is a bittorrent client that comes with it.
[02:06] <zybrid> how do i get samba to save my windows iso8859-15 format to utf?
[02:06] <scrilla-> ok
[02:06] <fyrestrtr> salah: oh that one :)
[02:06] <scrilla-> how do i re-install gnome and all its dependencies now?
[02:07] <DJAdmiral> npster: sorry what script do you want again? im really busy multitasking atm sorry
[02:07] <Dimitrije> I wanted to add some xmms skins but i cannot enter path to file browser and i can't see /home/user/.xmms?
[02:07] <npster> DJAdmiral: Look up
[02:07] <DJAdmiral> npster: looking.
[02:07] <nikin> Dimitrije tried "ls -a" ?
[02:08] <npster>  DJAdmiral: One that can check at regular intervals if /etc/resolv.conf contains only "nameserver 192.168.1.1" and if it does to add these two "nameserver 62.162.32.5" & "nameserver 62.162.32.6"
[02:08] <fyrestrtr> salah: but that is the answer, eventhough you may not like it.
[02:08] <Dimitrije> Yes but i don't want to do it from terminal.
[02:08] <fyrestrtr> npster: how about using the profiles feature of gnome-network-manager
[02:08] <Dimitrije> Oh i found out.
[02:08] <nikin> Dimitrije, you can download the midnight commander, but thats terminal program to
[02:08] <scrilla-> apt-get install gnome-control-center?
[02:09] <DJAdmiral> npster: im afraid not
[02:09] <Dimitrije> Just clicked Go>>location.
[02:09] <Dimitrije> I know for mc thanks ;)
[02:09] <npster> fyrestrtr: I don't use GNOME i use Xfce, Xubuntu
[02:09] <scrilla-> its goin
[02:09] <fyrestrtr> npster: hrmm, there is a way to lock that file so it doesn't get edited, but the exact command escapes me now.
[02:09] <Darkside3> what filesystem does linux use?
[02:10] <DJAdmiral> fyrestrtr: chmod?
[02:10] <DJAdmiral> Darkside3: ext3
[02:10] <scrilla-> Darkside3 ext3
[02:10] <Darkside3> do all of the distros use that
[02:10] <DJAdmiral> Darkside3: however other distros use different file systems. but the most common one is ext3
[02:10] <npster> fyrestrtr: If u remember please let me know, I really need this
[02:10] <scrilla-> Darkside3 unless you choose a different one, by default yes.
[02:10] <danf_1979> Darkside3, there are several
[02:11] <sg> Chousuke: i think ubuntu is slow for my pc...i dont know.. windows is faster, but i think thats with all linux..except like damn small linux which is just pure stripped...is there a way i can do something to test how slow mines is
[02:11] <Darkside3> which filesystem does Debian Vanilla use?
[02:11] <danf_1979> I use ReiserFS
[02:11] <Darkside3> is it ext3
[02:11] <blup|patrick> sg: try that faster dapper script
[02:11] <Chousuke> sg: well, Ubuntu uses pretty recent software.
[02:11] <sg> which script?
[02:11] <scrilla-> yo
[02:11] <Chousuke> sg: but you can tune it to be more lightweight.
[02:11] <scrilla-> how do i cha nge my system language
[02:12] <DJAdmiral> sg: if ubuntu is going slow on your machine, i'd recommend using Xubuntu.
[02:12] <blup|patrick> http://www.dylanknightrogers.com/2006/07/17/faster-dappersh/
[02:12] <nikin> Dimitrije: then whats your problem with mc?
[02:12] <DJAdmiral> brb
[02:12] <salah> fyrestrtr, this is first time I ever have heard about a bittorrent clients which needs a tracker to work. so I also need a web server because it's a browser that comes with ubuntu..?
[02:12] <Darkside3> does Debian Vanilla use ext3
[02:12] <DJAdmiral> back
[02:12] <Dimitrije> I was using it on slackware but i don't have it on ubuntu :)
[02:12] <blup|patrick> salah: no, a torrent needs a tracker
[02:12] <sg> DJAdmiral: ya man i did a lot of things on ubuntu i dont feel like scrapping it now :(
[02:12] <Dimitrije> I found what i need in default gnome browser.
[02:12] <blup|patrick> not the client itself
[02:13] <blup|patrick> the client handles the protocol
[02:13] <npster> Can I make a script myself and in what language do I make it ?
[02:13] <sg> blup|patrick: what does the faster script do and how can i get it?
[02:13] <salah> blup|patrick, so every bt-client needs a tracker..?
[02:13] <nikin> Dimitrije, you can get it with synaptic, just enable universe
[02:13] <DJAdmiral> npster: a bash script would work probably
[02:13] <blup|patrick> salah... no the clients work without tracker
[02:13] <fyrestrtr> salah: calm down, its a tracker because the bittorrent protocol comes with one, and that's how you start it up.
[02:13] <Dimitrije> Ok thanks.
[02:13] <fyrestrtr> DJAdmiral: no, its not that, its something else.
[02:13] <DJAdmiral> salah: not the client. every torrent needs a tracker, not every client
[02:13] <dckirba> hello all
[02:13] <blup|patrick> but if u want to download stuff, each torrent needs a link to a rracker
[02:13] <blup|patrick> sg the link above
[02:13] <npster> DJAdmiral: In what language should I write it ?
[02:14] <salah> fyrestrtr, there is no hard feelings, I am just discussing..
[02:14] <DJAdmiral> fyrestrtr: thanks for the correction.
[02:14] <jahshua> ok im going to start to cry.
[02:14] <jahshua> heh
[02:14] <jahshua> :/
[02:14] <jahshua> i just ran easyubuntu
[02:14] <jahshua> and still no flash playing
[02:14] <fyrestrtr> DJAdmiral: someone else mentioned it before, but I can't remember where or what.
[02:14] <fyrestrtr> !log
[02:14] <ubotu> Channel logs can be found at http://people.ubuntu.com/~fabbione/irclogs
[02:14] <salah> DJAdmiral, so why does it boot up? I have never seen any other clients do that
[02:14] <DJAdmiral> npster: no idea.
[02:14] <npster> OK
[02:14] <nikin> btw i have a suggestion. MC should be a base thing in ubuntu, or there is something superior inclooded?
[02:14] <jrib> jahshua: are you running dapper?
[02:14] <jahshua> yes
[02:15] <scrilla-> yeah
[02:15] <Evil`J> Hey guys - I'm relatively new to linux - who wants to help me get cosy?
[02:15] <scrilla-> brb
[02:15] <scrilla-> yo
[02:15] <jrib> jahshua: does /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so exist?
[02:15] <nikin> ls
[02:15] <scrilla-> how do i re-install gnome
[02:15] <blup|patrick> salah: do u mean that distributed database?
[02:15] <DJAdmiral> Evil'J: I can help!
[02:15] <scrilla-> i tried apt-get install gnome
[02:15] <scrilla-> but it gives me errors
[02:15] <Evil`J> DJ - awesome - /msg or in here?
[02:15] <DJAdmiral> Evil'J: MSN?
[02:16] <Evil`J> Ha
[02:16] <jrib> scrilla-: why do you need to reinstall it?
[02:16] <jahshua> jrib: /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so: symbolic link to `/usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so'
[02:16] <Evil`J> Don't got that installed.
[02:16] <Evil`J> Fresh install of ubuntu
[02:16] <scrilla-> jrib: because i uninstalled it by mistake
[02:16] <DJAdmiral> Evil'J: you have GAIM
[02:16] <tenco> fyrestrtr: using ~/.gnomerc does the trick :-)
[02:16] <Evil`J> Oh, and I just plain don't like MSN =P
[02:16] <salah> blup|patrick, no.. I mean that it's strange that I need to have a bt-tracker which boots up when machine starts and runs as a service for downloading a bt-file...
[02:16] <Evil`J> DJ, show me how.
[02:16] <scrilla-> am i supposed to run apt-get install gnome right?
[02:16] <fyrestrtr> tenco: cool :)
[02:16] <DJAdmiral> Evil'J: click Applications, internet, GAIM
[02:16] <Evil`J> Done
[02:17] <Evil`J> I'll probably need an account?
[02:17] <scrilla-> before that, i did an apt-get update, then apt-get upgrade, then apt-get install gnome
[02:17] <kOpter> Yello :) Is there any way to open / mount a .dmg file?
[02:17] <fyrestrtr> salah: you must not know how torrents work
[02:17] <scrilla-> that didnt work tho
[02:17] <DJAdmiral> Evil'J: yes, add your MSN account there.
[02:17] <jrib> scrilla-: install ubuntu-desktop
[02:17] <Evil`J> I don;t have an MSN account - off to a good start.
[02:17] <blup|patrick> no, thats a missunderstanding
[02:17] <blup|patrick>  salah
[02:17] <blup|patrick> @ salavas
[02:17] <blup|patrick> crap
[02:17] <gilianima> I want crontab to be executed with vim and not nano, how to change that ?
[02:18] <blup|patrick> @ salah <-- rigth :)
[02:18] <jrib> jahshua: did you close all instances of firefox and start it again?
[02:18] <blup|patrick> u download a torrent
[02:18] <DJAdmiral> Evil'J: no hotmail or msn messenger addy?
[02:18] <blup|patrick> in that that torret is sort of a note that links to a tracker
[02:18] <scrilla-> hrm lets see
[02:18] <scrilla-> ok one last thing
[02:18] <scrilla-> dude
[02:18] <Evil`J> Nope, I've used IRC all my life - no reason to change.
[02:18] <scrilla-> how do i change my language settings?
[02:18] <keb> hi, my first partition (ntfs) went wrong, i had here my grub, now i dont have wondows, neither i can start my linux, what can i do?
[02:18] <scrilla-> for my whole system
[02:18] <blup|patrick> that tracker is hosted by the guy who is offering the file ur downloading
[02:18] <DJAdmiral> Evil'J then i guess /msg will do
[02:18] <salah> blup|patrick, so, please tell me why it's a enabled service
[02:19] <sg> blup|patrick: how do i run the script, sudo faster-dapper.sh ?
[02:19] <blup|patrick> well.. are u hosting a torrent
[02:19] <blup|patrick> sg: well first check if the correct drive is noted in that script
[02:19] <salah> blup|patrick, no, and I don't use ubuntu's bt-client either
[02:19] <blup|patrick> default is hda in that script
[02:19] <sg> DJAdmiral: are you a real dj ?
[02:19] <jahshua> jrib: yes i did
[02:19] <blup|patrick> salah: well thats weired

[02:20] <jrib> jahshua: what does this command return:   readlink -f $(which firefox)
[02:20] <scrilla-> fyrestrtr know how to change the system language mang, without doing a fresh install?
[02:20] <scrilla-> sorry for pointing you out
[02:20] <sg> blup|patrick: hda... i guess thats right i only have one hd
[02:20] <DJAdmiral> sg: i haven't really done any DJing on linux as yet
[02:20] <jahshua> jrib: /usr/lib/firefox/firefox
[02:20] <blup|patrick> ah ok :)
[02:20] <sg> DJAdmiral: what did u use on WIn, acid pro/sonic foudry?
[02:20] <blup|patrick> then sudo sh faster-dapper.sh
[02:20] <blup|patrick> or how the correct name of that script is
[02:20] <blup|patrick> :)
[02:20] <DJAdmiral> sg: Dance E-Jay, Cubix
[02:21] <jrib> jahshua: hmm, what site are you using to test flash?
[02:21] <fyrestrtr> scrilla-: system language -- to what?
[02:21] <jahshua> jrib: youtube
[02:21] <sg> DJAdmiral: did you produce using Cubase?
[02:21] <blup|patrick> may take a while till the script is finished
[02:21] <scrilla-> fyrestrtr from spanish to english
[02:21] <DJAdmiral> sg: on linux i'm taking a look at mixx and terminatorX
[02:21] <DJAdmiral> sg: i think so
[02:21] <jrib> jahshua: does this work: http://www.badgerbadgerbadger.com/
[02:21] <DJAdmiral> sg: i tried it on a friends machine
[02:21] <sg> DJAdmiral: I never heard of those, which one is similar to ACID PRO? I mix a little here and there, I just got linux i want to mix on this too..
[02:22] <DJAdmiral> sg: i also used ots cd scratch once
[02:22] <DJAdmiral> sg: haven't tried either linux dj program as yet
[02:22] <DJAdmiral> Evil'J: you there?
[02:22] <sg> DJAdmiral: i never heard of mixx or terminatorX
[02:22] <Evil`J> I am
[02:22] <fyrestrtr> scrilla-: all the packages that you get when you type this in a term apt-cache search "language-pack-(.*?)-en"
[02:22] <Evil`J> I need to get my music working, otherwise I don't function.
[02:22] <DJAdmiral> sg: it's in the add remove programs thing
[02:22] <DJAdmiral> Evil'J one sec
[02:22] <sg> under where
[02:23] <jahshua> jrib: yes it does ... odd.
[02:23] <jahshua> what can that mean?
[02:23] <jahshua> :/
[02:23] <valc0m> hi ok little stupit question: I tryed install mplayer whit every tutorial ... still no luck
[02:23] <DJAdmiral> Evil'J: how are you IRCing right now?
[02:23] <jrib> jahshua: latest flash version released for linux is 7, youtube may require a later version
[02:23] <scrilla-> fyrestrtr then i simply install the language pack in english and presto?
[02:23] <fyrestrtr> scrilla-: yeap, I think so.
[02:23] <valc0m> can somebody at least tell me a good tutorial
[02:23] <jahshua> jrib: i had no problems with youtube on FC5 just a day ago.  :/
[02:23] <scrilla-> fyrestrtr let me try that real quick
[02:24] <fyrestrtr> scrilla-: there are a few others, just type that search and install what it finds
[02:24] <sg> blup|patrick: do u use the script -- how much big of a difference does it make
[02:24] <scrilla-> yeah
[02:24] <server3> Hi
[02:24] <Evil`J> I found X-chat
[02:24] <scrilla-> fyrestrtr any change needs to be made after the install?
[02:24] <DJAdmiral> valc0m: www.getautomatix.com helps you install mplayer
[02:24] <scrilla-> or will it automagically switch to english?
[02:24] <fyrestrtr> scrilla-: I don't know, as I have never done it myself, but I doubt it.
[02:24] <valc0m> DJAdmiral: thx
[02:24] <DJAdmiral> Evil'J: okay, good. do you see a tab in your window?
[02:24] <scrilla-> ok
[02:24] <scrilla-> thank you
[02:24] <DJAdmiral> valc0m: np
[02:24] <server3> Now I have Ubuntu 5.10, I want to upgrade it to Drapper. What I have to do?
[02:25] <Evil`J> I've got Ubuntu Servers and #ubuntu - no dcc window or anything.,,.
[02:25] <blup|patrick> sg: well it speeded up my system... default it took hours to load an app
[02:25] <blup|patrick> now it works much faster
[02:25] <sg> blup|patrick: nice i hope it works here..
[02:25] <blup|patrick> but that may have been a bug in xgl
[02:25] <jrib> jahshua: what happens exactly when you try to view it?  For example, this is working for me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1z6OCRJVks (I don't know what this is, but it is titled "Five second rule", first thing I saw)
[02:25] <server3> How to upgrade to Ubuntu 6.06?
[02:25] <blup|patrick> or something between xgl and xorg
[02:25] <sg> blup|patrick: it takes like a while to open up anything for me.. i dont use xgl so its good

[02:26] <DJAdmiral> Evil`J can you PM me?
[02:26] <blup|patrick> ah, and since it disabled ipv6 webbrowsing is as fast as in windows for me :)
[02:26] <jahshua> jrib: Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Macromedia's Flash Player. Click here to get the latest flash player.
[02:26] <jahshua> so strange.
[02:26] <sg> blup|patrick: what does it do install old versions of programs? that doesnt seem too good
[02:26] <fyrestrtr> !schedule
[02:26] <ubotu> Ubuntu uses a strict timetable for releases, which means that sometimes newly released programs miss the timetable. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases for more. Edgy schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseSchedule
[02:26] <kOpter> Yello :) Is there any way to open / mount a .dmg file?
[02:27] <DJAdmiral> Evil`J: im not seeing any PM, so let me just get X-Chat first, okay? hang on dude
[02:27] <Evil`J> Thanks DJ
[02:27] <blup|patrick> sg: it doesnt change anything on programs
[02:27] <blup|patrick> it just modifies caches
[02:27] <jrib> jahshua: maybe try clearing your cache and history
[02:27] <DJAdmiral> Evil`J: no problemo.
[02:28] <jahshua> ok
[02:28] <server3> I typed command `gksudo "update-manager -d` and had a window with header: "There is a new release of Ubuntu available!"
[02:28] <sg> DJAdmiral: terminatorX or mixx isnt in add/remove.
[02:28] <blup|patrick> eg. ur using more than one application with shared libraries... in dapper default it happened that each app opened a own copy of that lib
[02:28] <server3> But there is no automatic update
[02:28] <nny> ok so I am in need to someone philanthropic here to help me get proprietary drivers working on this install.. I have bitchx and links so my ability to google etc is limited
[02:28] <DJAdmiral> jahshua: try removing your cookies too
[02:28] <blup|patrick> taht script modifies the behaviour in a way, that the libs are really shared
[02:28] <fyrestrtr> kOpter: try this. mkdir ~/macdisk sudo mount -t hfs -o loop foo.dmg /home/yourusername/macdisk
[02:28] <nny> proprietary nvidia drivers
[02:28] <DJAdmiral> sg: check show unsupported applications and show commercial applications
[02:28] <blup|patrick> at least i understood that explanition that way
[02:29] <jahshua> ok
[02:29] <fyrestrtr> nny: did you already read the wiki?
[02:29] <kOpter> fyrestrtr > I did that, but it gives me: mount: wrong fs type
[02:29] <sg> blup|patrick: but something must e wrong, or the developers would've applied this patch to the release?
[02:29] <fyrestrtr> kOpter: try file foo.dmg -- what is it?
[02:29] <nny> i downloaded the nvidia_blah_foo.sh installer, ran it, but it fails on module nvidia (and consequently glx)
[02:29] <jrib> !nvidia > nny
[02:29] <nny> fyrestrtr um.. i would except the wiki in links may prove to be a bit challenging
[02:29] <kOpter> fyrestrtr > download.dmg: VAX COFF executable not stripped - version 1539... hmm that can't be right?
[02:30] <DJAdmiral> Evil`J: this could take a while my connection is slow atm
[02:30] <kOpter> fyrestrtr> I'm sure it's an apple DMG file. It works fine on a macbook
[02:30] <jahshua> jrib: man i was sure that would work, i was thinking up my big thank you to you... but ... no.  ://///
[02:30] <nny> jrib fyrestrtr ok i'll try, navigating in terminal is always... "fun"
[02:30] <DJAdmiral> Evil`J: it's downloaded now it's installing.
[02:31] <fyrestrtr> nny: you need to read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual from top to bottom
[02:31] <jrib> nny: maybe you can load up a live cd, it should be in the system > help system (I think)
[02:31] <DJAdmiral> Evil`J: do you know what version of ubuntu do you have btw?
[02:31] <sg> blup|patrick: shud it be faster after its done or i hvae to restart, etc?
[02:31] <fyrestrtr> kOpter: hrmm, its strange. Maybe ubuntu doesn't come with hfs support.
[02:31] <Evil`J> 5.10
[02:31] <nny> jrib fyrestrtr just trying to discern why even though i have ran the installer, etc, the module still says it doesn't exist, it does show up in lsmod, but with nothing using it, (which makes since, since X isn't starting)
[02:32] <fyrestrtr> nny: were you previously using the non nvidia.com drivers?
[02:32] <kOpter> fyrestr > I apt-get installed all the hfs things.. so it should work. Or is it a kernel thing?
[02:32] <DJAdmiral> Evil`J: Ah, nice. so where did you get your install CD from, and who installed it for you?
[02:32] <scrilla-> (EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0)
[02:32] <scrilla-> (EE) Failed to load module "wacom" (module does not exist, 0)
[02:32] <scrilla-> damn
[02:32] <scrilla-> i get that error now
[02:32] <fyrestrtr> kOpter: well, I had compile it in the kernel (hfs support), but this was wayy back in gentoo, could be something similar here.
[02:32] <Evil`J> DJ - I downloaded the iso and installed it myself
[02:32] <nny> jrib fyrestrtr only reason (yes i was using nvidia-glx) i am switching is hibernate/ ctrl-alt-ttywhatever was going black screen, and it seemed that the drives were the cause
[02:32] <scrilla-> i had it working, i uninstalled the desktop, i reinstalled it and now i get that crappy error
[02:32] <nny> drivers*
[02:32] <nixen9> i need some help/advice with insight/gdb any specialist there ?
[02:33] <scrilla-> yeah
[02:33] <DJAdmiral> Evil`J: okay, cool. XChat is installed, i'll log off now and log back in with XChat. Alright?
[02:33] <blup|patrick> sg: well... i it said, some operations recommend a reboot of the system to take full effect
[02:33] <nny> fyrestrtr going to that wiki via links2 now
[02:33] <blup|patrick> or smth. like tat
[02:33] <fyrestrtr> nny: you need to completely remove nvidia-* packages from your system, and then reboot the machine. Then, install the kernel headers, and then run the installer script. You miss one nvidia-* package, and it won't work.
[02:33] <Evil`J> Thanks DJ
[02:33] <blup|patrick> that
[02:33] <scrilla-> how do i install the ATI/fglrx,wacom drivers?
[02:33] <fyrestrtr> !ati
[02:34] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:34] <DJAdmiral> alright  people i'll be back in a bit!
[02:34] <nny> fyrestrtr suspected as much ok remove first, and i'll reads the wiki prior to just to get an idea of what i may have missed
[02:34] <nny> i'll read*
[02:34] <nixen9> i ve apt-getted insight but when a try to load a binary or attach to a process it tell me "cannot initialize debugging thread" do i need to patch my kernel in some way, what am i missing?
[02:34] <fyrestrtr> nny: went through the same thing on my system, make sure you remove those packages!
[02:35] <nny> hrrmph links2 doesn't support ssl ":\
[02:35] <nny> fyrestrtr roger that
[02:36] <acojlo> hi, i have moved from kubuntu installation to gnome and gdm. Is there anything I should reconfigure?
[02:36] <nny> fyrestrtr you're not using xgl by any chance as well are you?
[02:36] <scrilla-> fyrestrtr : all the EN packages seem to be installed already
[02:36] <nny> fyrestrtr i have had it working for a while (with few if no bugs) nvidia blackscreen deal just was driving me nuts slowly
[02:36] <scrilla-> there must be something that needs to be edited to switch to EN
[02:36] <scrilla-> because "EN" base is installed.
[02:37] <frogzoo> !fglrx > scrilla-
[02:37] <frandavid100> hi guys
[02:37] <nixen9> anyone using (with success) insight/gdb under Dapper ?
[02:37] <scrilla-> frogzoo i installed my ATI drivers already.
[02:37] <nny> heh dropped my conn and the irc client just rolls on :)
[02:37] <frandavid100> do you know of a channel where I can discuss about tomboy?
[02:37] <Evil`J> wb DJ
[02:37] <scrilla-> i need to find out how to switch my system language from spanish to english
[02:37] <ryanakca> nixen9: gdb, yes, works fine... insight? never heard of it :)
[02:37] <kingman> hello,everyone,who install qemu and configure virtual network,please help me.
[02:37] <nny> gah any term based browsers that support ssl?
[02:37] <nny> lynx?
[02:38] <fyrestrtr> nny: I was
[02:38] <keb> and i need to find out how to get back my ntfs from raw
[02:38] <nny> fyrestrtr was?
[02:38] <nikin> hmm
[02:38] <nny> fyrestrtr gave you trouble?
[02:38] <fyrestrtr> nny: yeah, not anymore (well, not right now).
[02:38] <frogzoo> scrilla-: sys -> admin -> language support
[02:38] <daunt> sup..
[02:38] <nixen9> ryanakca, thanks here my question ;) my problem is gdb related (cannot init debugging thread) Do i need some special Lib or patch/enable something in teh kernel
[02:38] <fyrestrtr> nny: no, had to do something else that needed xgl to stop.
[02:38] <scrilla-> frogzoo : from command line.
[02:39] <Shinzetsu> Can I make a desktop shortcut of a terminal command?
[02:39] <fyrestrtr> nny: but it worked fine without any problems or glitches.
[02:39] <nny> fyrestrtr cool.. btw you knowof either a text based browser that supports ssl or a link to the wiki that isn't ssl based?
[02:39] <acojlo> what to add into menu.lst in order to show usplash during boot?
[02:39] <rdz> Shinzetsu, i am interested in the same thing
[02:39] <frogzoo> Shinzetsu: indubitably
[02:39] <Evil`J> wb DJ
[02:40] <Shinzetsu> rdz: Yeah, I start up one of my programs via the terminal
[02:40] <kingman> who set correct ubuntu tun?please help me.
[02:40] <DJAdmiral> Evil`J: having issues with XChat, i'll be back again, sorry about the delay
[02:40] <daunt> why don't we like Automatix?
[02:40] <frogzoo> Shinzetsu: rdz something like, in launcher: "gnome-terminal -e 'hnb /work/ccie.hnb'"
[02:40] <nixen9> ryanakca, insight is a forntend to gdb (i know this but never got it works ?)
[02:40] <fyrestrtr> nny: links-ssl
[02:40] <nixen9> (s/i/you)
[02:40] <danf_1979> server 146.137.96.15.80 is dead?
[02:41] <dsas_> !tell daunt about automatix
[02:41] <ryanakca> nixen9: can't debug in other words?
[02:41] <daunt> thx.
[02:41] <scrilla-> brb
[02:41] <nny> fyrestrtr cool, and last q, do you know where the nvidia-uninstaller is?
[02:41] <nny> fyrestrtr thanks btw
[02:41] <daunt> is it because it does things automagically?
[02:41] <fyrestrtr> nny: nvidia uninstaller? for what?
[02:41] <nixen9> ryanakca, yep didn't try from gdb (cmd line) but i think i ll got the same error, i ll try
[02:41] <Shinzetsu> frogzoo: whats a hnb?
[02:41] <fyrestrtr> nny: the binary drivers from nvidia.com, or the stuff from repos?
[02:41] <incandenza> I'm running the linux-image-2.6.15-26-686 kernel on a core duo laptop, and the load average always seems to stay pegged at 1 even though the machine is idle.  any ideas?
[02:42] <nny> fyrestrtr binary
[02:42] <roe> incandenza: what does top tell you
[02:42] <nixen9> ryanakca, oops got it wrong gdb is running fine, must be a probleme with insight, thanks for the help
[02:42] <ryanakca> nixen9: try from command line... and then look on the wiki... I forget the link... you can search... or wait a couple of minutes for me to get it for you :)
[02:42] <fyrestrtr> nny: I don't know about that, sorry.
[02:42] <sg> hey whats mostly used on linux to burn cds, similar to nero, is it X-CD-Roast ?
[02:42] <incandenza> roe: top shows the cpu as 95%+ idle
[02:43] <ag0ny> good morning, day, evening
[02:43] <nixen9> ryanakca, i ll search to (not found anything "transcendant" about insight either)
[02:43] <nny> fyrestrtr ok thanks
[02:43] <fyrestrtr> k3b is popular.
[02:43] <daunt> okay then, automatix is done, time to reboot into ubuntu and see what all the fuss is about ..
[02:43] <frogzoo> Shinzetsu: apt-cache show hnb
[02:43] <roe> and your saying the processor is pegged?
[02:43] <sg> blup|patrick:  hey whats mostly used on linux to burn cds, similar to nero, is it X-CD-Roast ?
[02:43] <incandenza> roe: well, the load average is
[02:44] <blup|patrick> sg: i prefer k3b
[02:44] <Shinzetsu> aha
[02:44] <ag0ny> is there any way i can change the color of the clock applet font? or the color of the font for the toolbars in general?
[02:44] <incandenza> roe: but there don't seem to be any processes that are running that much
[02:44] <[b] urk> sg, k3b, but thats a kde-app
[02:44] <danf_1979> gnomebaker is ok too
[02:44] <nixen9> sg, gnomebaker is running (at least) fine for me
[02:44] <blup|patrick> burk, it shouldn be  a problem runnig kde appz in gnome
[02:44] <fyrestrtr> sg: k3b, gnomebaker, graveman are some.
[02:44] <incandenza> roe: also, keyboard input is kind of weird and laggy
[02:44] <scrilla-> how do i find my gnome version?
[02:44] <fyrestrtr> scrilla-: system -> about gnome
[02:45] <scrilla-> tx
[02:45] <acojlo> my gnome desktop is very slow at redrawing windows - for example when I switch between them
[02:45] <rdz> frogzoo, yeah, i was looking for something like that. the only problem is, that when i save to command as a script on the desktop and i doube-click, it asks me wheter i want to edit or run it.
[02:45] <nny> fyrestrtr btw is smp kernel required for dual core?
[02:45] <sg> ya which one has more features ,like audio cd, data, mp3, etc and a easy to use interface?
[02:45] <fyrestrtr> nny: yeah, otherwise you are just single core ;)
[02:45] <stefg> sg: k3b
[02:46] <nny> fyrestrtr this "great" intel cost me a small fortune, f that
[02:46] <sg> im on gnome
[02:46] <arno> can anyone help with installation problems
[02:46] <fyrestrtr> nny: you might also want to consider getting the 686 kernel.
[02:46] <stefg> sg, never mind... it'
[02:46] <nny> fyrestrtr do you have to signify "smp" when getting the linux-686 kernel?
[02:46] <sg> gnomeaker stefg
[02:46] <sg> baker*
[02:46] <roe> incandenza: what processes are running as your local user?
[02:46] <stefg> gnomebaker isn't anywhere near k3b
[02:46] <nixen9> ryanakca, were you thinking about this one ? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace
[02:46] <nny> fyrestrtr nm search in apt-cache says all
[02:47] <incandenza> roe: not much...  I have firefox open, a couple shells, irssi
[02:47] <stefg> installing k3b will bring some kdelibs with it, but it's still worth it
[02:48] <TheSheep> how can I install libglib2.0-dev from the repositories?
[02:48] <nny> if this laptop hibernates normally, i'll be happy.. need to research multiple frambuffer displays running on seperate monitors next
[02:48] <chemaja> nixen9, i see documentation like that and i just want to switch to this OS
[02:48] <roe> incandenza: how is your swap space?
[02:48] <chemaja> :D
[02:48] <damnation> umm, hmm.  i know this is gonna be an annoying question, but i have a laptop with little hdd space, what is the absolute minimum a standard install of ubuntu will need? i tried installing with 2.8gb ext3 and 256swap, but still said i need '2gb' and wouldnt let me continue :/
[02:48] <sg> stefg:  so i can use it on gnome?
[02:48] <stefg> of course..
[02:48] <ryanakca> nixen9: found it: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace
[02:48] <incandenza> roe: 18 megs used out of 1 gig
[02:48] <sg> blup|patrick: that fast script is still "Setting up prelink (0.0.20050901-1) ...Running prelink for the first time so this might take awhile..." how long does it take?
[02:49] <stefg> 15 min average
[02:49] <taavi> DJ: any update on avis?
[02:49] <roe> incandenza: I'm almost out of ideas :), one last thought though, firefox... are you open to a page with Flash on it?
[02:49] <sg> i think its been over 15
[02:49] <incandenza> roe: I don't think the cpu is really being used that much...  it's not hot or anything
[02:49] <DJAdmiral> taavi; they won't play!!!
[02:50] <incandenza> roe: it's just the load average is still up there
[02:50] <DJAdmiral> taavi: AAAGH
[02:50] <taavi> Dj: damn..
[02:50] <incandenza> roe: nope, I closed firefox completely just to be sure
[02:50] <nixen9> ryanakca, yep thanks, so as i was saying gdb (on it's own) is running fine (i could do the run, backtrace as described in the wiki) just seems that i can't get Insight to work (and google tells me that nobody is using insight or without any problem ;)
[02:50] <taavi> Dj: thought so..
[02:50] <nny> btw to all the geeks with no dough "New Egg Open Box"is your friend
[02:50] <k31th> what gui text editors do syntax highlighting?
[02:50] <DJAdmiral> and evil j left
[02:50] <DJAdmiral> great
[02:50] <DJAdmiral> just great
[02:50] <DJAdmiral> i hate stupid avis
[02:50] <stefg> sg depends on your CPU and how much stuff is installed... 800MHz/256 MB and lots of stuff installed can make it up to an hour
[02:50] <taavi> DJ: i think the problem is somewere else thne codecs and players
[02:51] <DJAdmiral> it said it couldn't find demuxxers
[02:51] <DJAdmiral> or something like that
[02:51] <sg> stefg; normal ubuntu stuff + a few progs @ 500mhz/512ram
[02:51] <taavi> DJ: i've installed a whole bunch of them
[02:51] <zybrid> do i have to change locale to iso 8859-15 on the server to get SAMBA working with windows client?
[02:51] <damnation> umm, hmm.  i know this is gonna be an annoying question, but i have a laptop with little hdd space, what is the absolute minimum a standard install of ubuntu will need? i tried installing with 2.8gb ext3 and 256swap, but still said i need '2gb' and wouldnt let me continue :/
[02:51] <stefg> sg: ok, so don't rush it... be patient
[02:51] <sg> stefg: yes sir
[02:51] <zybrid> damnation: do a serverinstall
[02:51] <DJAdmiral> taavi: nothing else i can do. i'll have to transfer them and play them on a windoze box.
[02:51] <DJAdmiral> gaaah
[02:52] <taavi> DJ: crap..
[02:52] <nny> damnation try another distro aimed at smaller footprint yet?
[02:52] <Shinzetsu> in Russia there are 95% of users having a pirate copy of Windows :).
[02:52] <damnation> what's a serverinstall? soley from the internet, aka.. live.. i guess you can call it
[02:52] <damnation> ??
[02:52] <taavi> hate windows..
[02:52] <damnation> =[
[02:52] <cypher1> damnation: i guess for dapper desktop we need 3 gb
[02:52] <nickay> Hi. Is there any one who has install and configure Horde in ubuntu? I have a problem with it!
[02:52] <damnation> says 2gb =[
[02:52] <chemaja> the one good thing windows has going for it is point-and-click installers
[02:52] <damnation> humm
[02:52] <blup|patrick> sg: took a few minutes for me
[02:52] <chemaja> and hardware vendor support of course
[02:53] <sg> blup|patrick: whats ur comp stat
[02:53] <daunt> okay its looking good .. so is there an 'easy' way to turn my base ubuntu system into a 'normal' linux devstation, gcc/binutils and all, or do i have to do some package shopping?
[02:53] <ryanakca> nixen9: where did you get "insight"? is it in the repos?
[02:53] <nixen9> yep it's a DDD like backed up by Novell iirc
[02:53] <blup|patrick> athlon64 3000+ 1Gig Ram
[02:53] <damnation> thanks guys =] 
[02:54] <blup|patrick> nothing special
[02:54] <taavi> does anyone else maybe have a clue why avi files don't play?
[02:54] <daunt> << not really into shopping for packages
[02:54] <sg> blup|patrick: special for me :p
[02:54] <arno> i get this error: "bash: make: command not found", what can I do?

[03:01] <arno> ok
[03:01] <gholen> fyrestrtr: good, now, can i skip loading the whole gnome-thing then?
[03:02] <bmonkey> @arno: then sudo mkdir /media/FAT32DriveName
[03:02] <nixen9> ryanakca, more info about insight https://launchpad.net/products/insight - still cannot sort out if it's BASED on gdb or if it's using gdb_Server :)
[03:03] <bmonkey> @arno: then mount /dev/hda1 /media/FAT32DriveName

[03:04] <ryanakca> to reinstall python, what do I run? sudo dpkg --force-reinstreq python2.3?
[03:04] <arno> thx bmonkey!
[03:04] <ryanakca> ailean: because 2.01 wasn't available at the time of the release
[03:04] <bmonkey> @arno: np, i hope it works
[03:05] <gholen> So, att the boot, choose "start or installl ubuntu" then, in GDM, choose safe terminal and in terminal, type ./install.sh, is that correct?
[03:05] <nickay> i am trying to configure horde. But when i am trying to access to horde from web i get error " Notice: Only variable references should be returned by reference in /usr/share/php/Log.php on line 92".Is there anyone who can help me?
[03:05] <nny> or better yet, how do I install 686-smp WITHOUT nvidia deps?
[03:05] <ailean> ryanakca, but I thought updates were applied as they become available. why do i get almost daily updates to other things then?

[03:06] <ailean> k, thanks ryanakca
[03:06] <nny> hmm any experts in here wanna tell me how to avoid nvidia deps when installing linux-686-smp via aptitudE?

[03:10] <Dimensions> how can i configure nokia 6630 as my gprs modem in ubuntu
[03:10] <nny> bmonkey you have the hfsutils on that install?
[03:11] <bmonkey> nny: no, have to get the package, thx
[03:11] <nny> bmonkey no package afaik, you have to compile from source
[03:11] <nny> bmonkey had to do it last month to work on an mac drive
[03:11] <nny> a mac*
[03:12] <bmonkey> nny: oh, the package is installe
[03:12] <bmonkey> nny: its a usb mac formated drive, im on a x86 pc
[03:12] <nny> bmonkey yeah it's missing mkhfs and fsck.hfsplus but it's in the repos
[03:12] <bmonkey> nny: its automounts wekkk
[03:12] <constantine-xvi> does anyone know of a good video podcast app for linux?
[03:12] <scrilla-> quick question
[03:12] <nny> bmonkey you prolly need neither of those, so just try to umount it and mount it with -rw
[03:12] <scrilla-> hrm
[03:12] <scrilla-> brb
[03:13] <nny> btw anyone here wanna tell me how to install ONLY the 686-smp kernel, minus nvidia garbage?
[03:13] <scrilla-> how do i change my system language
[03:13] <scrilla-> is that possible?
[03:13] <incandenza> nny: just install linux-image-686...  shouldn't install any nvidia anything
[03:13] <lhds> i need to make an icon where in terminal i would normally type sudo filename
[03:13] <frogzoo> nny: sudo apt-get install linux-686
[03:13] <viviersf> ye @ incandenza
[03:14] <lhds> how to specify the root access to that application in the icon?
[03:14] <sg> how can  i fix this error ? checking readline/readline.h usability... no checking readline/readline.h presence... no checking for readline/readline.h... no configure: error: could not find readline header files
[03:14] <tomveens> I've got a topic and a problem you want to know?
[03:14] <bmonkey> nny: its says 777, but itsn not writable anyways
[03:14] <lhds> i need to make an icon where in terminal i would normally type sudo filename how to specify the root access to that application in the icon?

[03:15] <tomveens> for the problem
[03:15] <nny> bmonkey what does dmesg or tail /var/log/messages |grep /dev/hda2 say?
[03:15] <acojlo> vbesave takes very long time during boot. why?
[03:15] <nny> bmonkey if it's mounting ro than you are gonna have issues, i am unsure of the compatability issues if any for writing to a hfs fs
[03:16] <nny> bmonkey only if you need fsck.hfsplus (to repair a hfs fs) or mkhfs (to make a drive hfs)
[03:16] <bmonkey>  nny: HFS+-fs: write access to a jounaled filesystem is not supported, use the force option at your own risk, mounting read-only.
[03:16] <nny> well there you go
[03:17] <bmonkey> nny: maybe i should disable journaling?
[03:17] <nny> bmonkey may wanna google for hfs+ write access
[03:17] <Shinzetsu> How do I fully uninstall gnome and install kde?
[03:17] <nny> bmonkey i dunno if you can, it's usually an integral part of filesystems that use it
[03:17] <[Wiebel] > what software is nice to build a media center on a pc with ubuntu which is connected to a tv?
[03:17] <nny> [Wiebel]  MythTV
[03:17] <bmonkey> nny: i can with some mac tools, thx alot :D
[03:17] <[Wiebel] > nny: does that more then tv?
[03:17] <constantine-xvi> Shinzetsu: sudo apt-get remove --purge ubuntu-desktop, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[03:18] <nixen9> Wiebe, Freevo is nice too
[03:18] <nny> bmonkey good ludk
[03:18] <nny> luck too
[03:18] <Shinzetsu> thx
[03:18] <[Wiebel] > nixen9: i've seen freevo , it looks ok indeed
[03:18] <nny> [Wiebel]  it does weather, rss, movies, music, mame, tv, and i think it'll make you breakfast if you're nice to it
[03:18] <scrilla-> how do i uninstall an installed package?
[03:18] <LorandKA> any ideeas why my soundcard isn't detected?
[03:18] <[Wiebel] > nny ok :)
[03:18] <constantine-xvi> Shinzetsu: i would do that from a text console (Ctrl+alt+f1) to be safe
[03:18] <nny> [Wiebel]  try em both!
[03:18] <nixen9> Wiebie, still using v 1 but i find it's simpler to run/config/modify that Myth
[03:19] <nny> nixen9 yeah never had the easiest time configuring a myth box...
[03:19] <[Wiebel] > nny i will :>
[03:19] <gnomefreak> constantine-xvi: only issue is it wont remove gnome that way
[03:19] <nixen9> nny, yea same here all this icon freak me out ;)
[03:19] <[Wiebel] > nixen9: well you only have to config it once :)
[03:19] <nny> hmm so anyone here know how to install JUST the 686-smp kernel without having it try to install nvidia packages?
[03:20] <nixen9> Wiebel, yeah but you need to GO the the end ;)
[03:20] <[Wiebel] > ow well, I'll manage :)
[03:20] <incandenza> nny: yes, and several people told you a few minutes ago
[03:20] <nny> [Wiebel]  nice way to try myth is knoppmyth btw
[03:20] <[Wiebel] > hmm ok
[03:20] <yuheng108> xfontsel can't detect ttf-arphic-uming font, can someone help me?
[03:20] <nny> incandenza well snap! i missed it, my bad :P
[03:20] <nixen9> nny, i'm kidding i'm sure MythTV is really nice and perhaps better than freevo for the -tv stuff, tv stuff that i don't use so...
[03:20] <[Wiebel] > nny is it complete?
[03:21] <incandenza> nny: just install the linux-686 package
[03:21] <nny> incandenza frogzoo thanks, but sudo apt-get install linux-686-smp reports back nvidia deps...
[03:21] <nny> well not deps
[03:21] <nixen9> ryanakca, FYI i'm building insight from the source to give him (and me) a last chance ;)
[03:21] <incandenza> those are only suggestions
[03:21] <nny> "recommended...
[03:21] <incandenza> ignore 'em
[03:21] <nny> yeah how do i tell it "no"?
[03:22] <nny> apt-get wants to install em, so does aptitude
[03:22] <incandenza> it won't install those unless you actually select them
[03:22] <LorandKA> my soundcard isn't detected. any workaround?
[03:22] <nny> incandenza not using synaptic, have no X
[03:22] <burepe> anyone know a faq to help me set up an apache server (with mysql and drupal)?
[03:22] <nny> incandenza using aptitude, apt-get
[03:22] <incandenza> I know
[03:22] <incandenza> apt-get won't install those packages
[03:22] <incandenza> that's why they're under "recommended"
[03:22] <nny> incandenza it is though :\
[03:23] <ducky-_-> hi folks
[03:23] <incandenza> well, I just did it a few minutes ago
[03:23] <incandenza> and it didn't install any of those
[03:23] <ducky-_-> can`t install ubuntu from live cd says failed to create partition
[03:23] <nny> incandenza it says the FOLLOWING packages will be installed, including nvidia-kernel-common
[03:23] <nny> the others are recommended, but that one stays
[03:23] <frogzoo> nny: recommmended don't get installed unless you explicitly request it
[03:23] <incandenza> nny: paste it?
[03:24] <roe> LorandKA: what do you mean its not detected? the kernel doesn't see the physical card or the module for it isn't loading
[03:24] <nny> hmm using bitchx, not easily done
[03:24] <gholen> So, att the boot, choose "start or installl ubuntu" then, in GDM, choose safe terminal and in terminal, type ./install.sh, is that correct?
[03:24] <scrilla-> how do i make a list of my installed packages
[03:24] <LorandKA> no volume control element and or devices found...
[03:24] <LorandKA> roe
[03:25] <nny> incandenza frogzoo so for the sake of argument, lets say it wants to install nvidia-kernel-common, whats the juju to tell apt-get "no"
[03:25] <npster> How do I make a file uneditable, under any circumstances unless i do Sudo ... ?
[03:25] <LorandKA> theres a red x near the speaker
[03:25] <roe> LorandKA: from the command line do an lspci and see if you can find the actual card there
[03:25] <cappiz> is there a way to encrypt your whole system... so you need a password for it to boot?
[03:25] <nny> incandenza frogzoo or better yet "never"
[03:25] <nny> cappiz you can pass protect grub...
[03:25] <burepe> !apache
[03:25] <ubotu> lamp is a shortcut for Linux-Apache-Mysql-{PHP,Perl,Python}. To setup a LAMP server on Ubuntu, install the packages libapache2-mod-php5, php5-mysql, and mysql-server-5.0. You can also choose 'install a LAMP server' from the server install cd boot menu. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[03:26] <roe> cappiz: do you want to encrypt your system or pasword protect your boot?
[03:26] <nny> cappiz not the same thing, but seeing as how an entirely encrypted fs would be slower than norm, it's a decent start.. if you are worried about someone mounting the disk otherwise, than encrypt only whats sensitive
[03:26] <incandenza> nny: well, here's what it looks like for me: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19472
[03:26] <nny> slower than norm or impossible*
[03:26] <scrilla-> dpkg-reconfigure locales
[03:26] <scrilla-> heh
[03:26] <nny> incandenza that link is a nice tease, but bitchx doesn't support much
[03:26] <incandenza> you can't follow a link?
[03:27] <bersace> Hello, how to burn an oversized iso (powerpc or amd64 for instance) ?
[03:27] <nixen9> ryanakca, build insight from cvs snapshot, it's seems to works fine :)
[03:27] <nny> incandenza so this system has a setting somewhere that make sit think nvidia-kernel-common is needed, regardless of what your sys says, and i need to change that
[03:27] <nixen9> ls
[03:27] <cappiz> roe both
[03:28] <Shinzetsu> when I log in w/ either gnome or kde, it returns me to the login screen
[03:28] <Shinzetsu> i can only use gnome safe mode or console
[03:28] <mp3guy> how can I disable the fsck that runs on startup every 30 moounts?
[03:28] <cappiz> in windows i got a totaly encrypted system
[03:28] <nny> nixen9's ls = pr0n (500 Gigs) stolenmoozic (300 Gigs)
[03:28] <nny> :)
[03:28] <nixen9> ^^ i did switch my window too fast ^
[03:28] <nny> someone needs to write a bot to respond to accidental bash entries
[03:29] <nny> in IRC*
[03:29] <Shinzetsu> also how do i add new users to my pc?
[03:29] <roe> cappiz: ok, I would google for encrypted filesystem, there is alot to know about it
[03:29] <petemc> mp3guy: tune2fs
[03:29] <incandenza> nny: seems it would have to be a dependency on something else, then...  if you just do 'apt-get install' does it try to install it?
[03:30] <roe> cappiz: as far as bootlocking your system, this link should help http://linsec.ca/syshardening/bootlock.php
[03:30] <cappiz> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=120097
[03:30] <nny> incandenza no
[03:30] <mp3guy> petemc, how do I use that
[03:30] <nny> incandenza i am purposely trying to avoid it as I want to install binary drivers
[03:30] <petemc> mp3guy: it has a man page
[03:31] <nixen9> i'm a little newb about this, if a build a more recent package of a program that the one in the repo, should (by gentle) and submit this to someone/thing ?
[03:31] <ducky-_-> anyone can help me ?
[03:31] <LorandKA> ok, so lspci isn't showing the ess card
[03:31] <LorandKA> roe
[03:32] <roe> if its not in lspci then the OS doesn't see your physical card, try reseating it
[03:32] <LorandKA> it's integrated..
[03:32] <roe> can your pastebin your lspci output
[03:32] <LorandKA> in ms it works

[03:37] <npster> What this commands do: sudo chmod -r /etc/resolv.conf ????
[03:37] <LorandKA> eth0 for my home net, eth 1 has the the modem plugged in and eth 3 for the metro net
[03:37] <Alpha232> I'm having trouble building a kernel module, i thought I had all the header packages i needed but i am getting this error, make[3] : Entering directory `/lib/modules/2.6.12-10-386/build' make[3] : *** No rule to make target `modules'.  Stop.
[03:38] <[b] urk> lhds, make a launcher and in the exec-thing type: gksu <progname> or gksudo <progname>

[03:38] <Alpha232> npster: man chmod
[03:38] <gholen> is ubuntuforums down again?
[03:38] <npster> There is no explanation for -r
[03:38] <Alpha232> npster: but i'll give you a hint, same as   -r for  rm
[03:39] <[Ex0r] > npster- means recursive

[03:39] <npster> How do I make a file read only, but to still change that
[03:39] <sg> hey XMMS is using ALSA 1.2.10 output plugin, in audacity its not detected what can i do?
[03:39] <Xamusk> hello
[03:39] <Alpha232> npster: not quite sure what you're asking
[03:40] <longwave> "chmod -r /etc/resolv.conf" doesn't make any sense, the R should be capitalised, you need a permissions option before the file spec, and you're only modifying a single file so you don't need to recurse anyway
[03:40] <Alpha232> longwave: maybe he is thinking attrib in dos? ;)
[03:40] <XplOzIon> hmm
[03:40] <LorandKA> *sigh*
[03:40] <npster> alpha232: I need to make /etc/resolv.conf read only for the system
[03:40] <longwave> oh wait, maybe the -r is part of a permission spec
[03:40] <nox-Hand> Hey
[03:41] <[Ex0r] > npster- use sudo a+r /etc/resolv.conf
[03:41] <Alpha232> longwave: ahhh  i am so used to doing it as octals
[03:41] <roe> LorandKA: not sure what to tell ya, its definetly not there
[03:41] <longwave> npster: maybe "sudo chmod a-w /etc/resolv.conf" will work - a-w means "remove write permission for all"
[03:41] <LorandKA> roe :(
[03:41] <npster> But I can still change it to read write and with what command ?
[03:41] <roe> LorandKA: do you know what chipset is expected?
[03:41] <[Ex0r] > npster- +/-r is for read +/- w is for write
[03:41] <LorandKA> ess
[03:41] <longwave> npster: using "a+w" instead of "a-w" will add the write permission back again
[03:41] <Xamusk> I have a server providing XDMCP. I want that machine to also be a proxy (non-transparent). But how do I block the non-proxy http traffic, without blocking the proxy's own access?
[03:42] <npster> ok
[03:42] <longwave> npster: you probably want "o+w" though so only the owner (root) can write
[03:42] <Nilsy> longwave, but that will give all write access to it
[03:42] <Alpha232> Xamusk:  which machine is acting as your firewall?
[03:42] <[Ex0r] > Nilsy- I believe that's why he corrected himself :)
[03:43] <Nilsy> o+w ? dont you mean u+w
[03:43] <npster> I need that the system MUST NOT change that file
[03:43] <longwave> argh
[03:43] <longwave> yeah i get those mixed up :(
[03:43] <ducky-_-> can`t install ubuntu failed to create partition what can i do ??????????????/
[03:43] <Nilsy> yeah ... but he corrected it to o+w which would be just as bad ;)
[03:43] <Whatsisname> if the system must not change it then do a-w
[03:43] <npster> OK
[03:43] <Xamusk> Alpha232, the XDMCP server itself... but the traffic passes through another firewall too in the lan
[03:43] <[Ex0r] > npster- Than you need sudo chmod a-w /etc/resolve.conf
[03:44] <longwave> yes
[03:44] <longwave> to add write permission again use "sudo chmod u+w /etc/resolv.conf", not what i said earlier!
[03:44] <LorandKA> guess i'll stick with no sound
[03:45] <Alpha232> Xamusk: so are the hosts you are trying to block route through the proxy? or are they peers and all sit on the same side of somthing that routes their traffic
[03:45] <Xamusk> Alpha232, however, I want the machines using XDMCP to be isolated from the outer lan, but I don't know how to do it as the clients using XDMCP act as if in the server machine itself
[03:45] <scena> Can someone help me to get the cups-lpd service running in Dapper?
[03:46] <bijan> hey guys, Im using a 5.1 headset with my audigy 2 zs, 7.1 works and stereomode too, but the 5.1 headset doesnt how can I solve this problem?
[03:46] <Alpha232> Xamusk: ok i am slightly confused what XDMCP has to do with this...   are you running an X server for X terminals to use?
[03:46] <scena> i need the LPD/LPD part running in order to set up print servers.
[03:46] <sg> cmon guysn o one knows
[03:46] <Xamusk> Alpha232, right now they don't, but I will set fixed IPs so that they do route through the XDMCP server too... but the biggest problem is that, as they are using XDMCP, the http traffic acts as if coming from the server itself, instead of the clients
[03:46] <sg> dont u guys build programs
[03:47] <Alpha232> Xamusk: ooookay, now i understand...
[03:47] <sg> how can  i fix this error ? checking readline/readline.h usability... no checking readline/readline.h presence... no checking for readline/readline.h... no configure: error: could not find readline header files
[03:47] <Alpha232> Xamusk: thats an interesting question... gimme a few..
[03:48] <Xamusk> so, the problem actually lies in that I don't know how to sort the proxy traffic from the rest
[03:48] <LorandKA> roe ,any other ideeas?
[03:48] <longwave> sg: install the libreadline-dev package
[03:48] <nixen9> sg, you probably need to install the developement (-dev) package of the lib (readline clib donno)
[03:49] <Alpha232> Xamusk: well... you might need an application level firewall... or if ipchains/tables understands which UID is origiinating traffic which it should... lemme look into that for you
[03:49] <longwave> Xamusk: can you not push all HTTP traffic through the proxy, or do you want to have the clients only go through there?
[03:49] <roe> LorandKA: do you know what chipset is expected?
[03:50] <LorandKA> for the sound controller?
[03:50] <roe> yea
[03:50] <LorandKA> it's ess
[03:50] <Xamusk> longwave, the problem is that the clients use XDMCP, so the traffic looks like it originates in the server itself, and if I block the server, I also block the proxy
[03:50] <TheGateKeeper> sg: apt-get install synaptic, then search for readline and dev
[03:50] <Alpha232> Xamusk: do you use ipchains or iptables?
[03:50] <Alpha232> longwave: don't worry i have the sollution ;)
[03:51] <longwave> ok :)
[03:51] <Xamusk> Alpha232, yes... but I only found ways to do application level firewall with patches
[03:51] <npster> sudo chmod a+w doesn't work ??? command not found
[03:51] <roe> LorandKA: how old is this laptop?
[03:51] <LorandKA> it's not a laptop
[03:51] <Alpha232> Xamusk: well thats true, you are going to have to install it with an extension
[03:51] <LorandKA> it's a compaq deskpro
[03:51] <longwave> npster: which is not found? try "sudo" and "chmod" on their own to check
[03:51] <LorandKA> about...5 years..dunno
[03:51] <burepe> Can you copy from a vnc server and paste in to a vnc client?
[03:52] <roe> LorandKA: and there ya have it :)
[03:52] <Alpha232> Xamusk: you need the "Owner Match" extension, The owner match extension isn't necessarily included in your distribution's stock kernel; it's considered an experimental feature (by the Linux kernel team, not necessarily by the iptables team), so you may need to compile it yourself. Its source code, however, is part of the standard 2.4 kernel codebase, so this is done easily with any recent version of your distribution's (2.4.x) kernel sourc
[03:52] <LorandKA> i just thought, it might work..
[03:52] <roe> LorandKA: we can get it to work :)
[03:52] <LorandKA> :)
[03:52] <Alpha232> Xappe: now that being said, that was WAY back in the day ;)
[03:52] <Xamusk> Alpha232, yeah, but I haven't found an extension that doesn't have to apply to the kernel itself... instead of just making an external module... I still shiver from remembering the last time I tried to make a patch to the ubuntu kernel
[03:52] <roe> LorandKA: just didn't have the bit of information
[03:52] <Shinzetsu> Wether i try to log in on gnome, kde or xfce it returns me back to the login screen
[03:52] <LorandKA> true
[03:53] <LorandKA> i have used debian sarge b4, the same problem
[03:53] <Alpha232> Xamusk: i know, but iptables is part of the kernel and you need to adapt that, to support what you want
[03:53] <LorandKA> guessd that with tis might work
[03:53] <Alpha232> Xamusk: hold a second
[03:53] <burepe> I figured it out
[03:53] <roe> LorandKA: Your sound card is ISA, the kernel module required to detect isa devices "isapnp" I don't believe is built in by default
[03:54] <npster> Type error :)
[03:54] <longwave> Alpha232: isn't there a way of passing packets to userland and filtering them there? though that may be a bit slow for the amount of traffic
[03:54] <LorandKA> ok, so what should i do?
[03:54] <roe> LorandKA: I am locating the info for you gonna take a min
[03:54] <LorandKA> okwy
[03:54] <Alpha232> longwave: i did it once, many years ago, but that was before iptables was 100% internal
[03:54] <LorandKA> take your time
[03:54] <roe> LorandKA: :)
[03:55] <roe> Hey all are the forums down?
[03:55] <Alpha232> longwave: plus he would need to recompile to enable userland i believe
[03:55] <Alpha232> aha!!!!
[03:56] <Alpha232> Xamusk: ok do   man iptables and look for          --uid-owner userid              Matches if the packet was created by a process with the given effective user id.
[03:56] <TheGateKeeper> roe: looks like it, yet again :-(
[03:56] <roe> doh
[03:56] <Alpha232> longwave: looks like its builtin now ;)
[03:57] <roe> LorandKA: if the forums were up, there looks like there is a thread of people with the same issue, although I can't get to it to know for sure
[03:57] <Alpha232> Xamusk: you'll most likely want to look at   --gid-owner
[03:57] <Shinzetsu> Wether i try to log in on gnome, kde or xfce it returns me back to the login screen
[03:57] <nixen9> Shinzetsu, is your HD full ?
[03:58] <Shinzetsu> nope
[03:58] <Shinzetsu> it worked fine, now i turn it on and it wont log me on=\
[03:58] <nixen9> Shinzetsu, so i don't know sorry
[03:58] <Ronz> which file do i have to edit to get my drive to mount at startup? i forget where the file is
[03:58] <HaFa> Shinzetsu did u modified the user rights on the /tmp Folder?
[03:58] <nixen9> /etc/fstab
[03:58] <TheGateKeeper> roe: if you any good with any other languages you could always try one of them, dutch is working for instance :-)
[03:58] <Ronz> thats it! thx
[03:58] <Shinzetsu> nope
[03:58] <Xamusk> Alpha232, hmmm... that looks like it
[03:58] <blup|patrick> btw. has someone figured out how to run cs2's photoshop and illustrator in linux?
[03:58] <blup|patrick> is it even possible?
[03:58] <Shinzetsu> maybe i need to reinstall x?
[03:59] <HaFa> which rights are set to the /tmp folder ?
[03:59] <nixen9> photoshop 6 yes, 7 seems ok but any version upper is out of reach i think
[03:59] <roe> TheGateKeeper: I have enough trouble with english :P
[03:59] <Alpha232> Xamusk: here is the key...
[03:59] <blup|patrick> nixen9: :/
[03:59] <TheGateKeeper> roe: know the feeling :-)
[03:59] <blup|patrick> and i haven tfound color managment tool for linux yet...
[03:59] <Xamusk> Alpha232, thanks a lot! I will fine-tune my rules and try to get that working
[04:00] <Alpha232> Xamusk: you want their primary GID to specify if they have access or not. that way all processes have that id
[04:00] <longwave> Shinzetsu: is there anything useful in the X log file in /var/log?
[04:00] <roe> LorandKA: try from the command line as sudo modprobe isapnp
[04:00] <Alpha232> Xamusk: no problem... now back to getting my question answered ehehe   and yes i'm trying to compile a kernel mod ;)
[04:00] <roe> LorandKA: doubt it will work but...
[04:00] <Alpha232> Xamusk: oh... by the way
[04:01] <Alpha232> Xamusk: you'll want to use the rules on the output side of things
[04:01] <longwave> Alpha232: that is a pretty neat solution using iptables, i knew it had some advanced modules but hadn't seen that one before
[04:01] <Shinzetsu> not that i know of
[04:01] <npster> WHAT CONTROLS THE CONTENTS OF /ETC/RESOLV.CONF ?
[04:02] <Alpha232> longwave: it was part of iptables but never compiled in by most dests
[04:02] <Alpha232> npster: turn off the caps
[04:02] <npster> ok
[04:02] <Alpha232> npster: and anything can... as long as they have permission to write to it
[04:02] <Xamusk> Alpha232, yeah, because the packets are getting out from the computer itself
[04:02] <Alpha232> npster: though normally, pppd or dhclient do it
[04:02] <Alpha232> npster: unless you're statically assigned an ip and then you do
[04:02] <Patrick`> how do I determine what version of a package I have installed, with a cli utility?
[04:03] <freemanen> how do I find the cdrom with a program started in wine?
[04:03] <Patrick`> I'm thinking either apt or dpkg
[04:03] <Alpha232> npster: though you can do it yourself anyways, all that resolve.conf does is act as the DNS config
[04:03] <scena> How can I get the cups-lpd service running in Ubuntu 6.06?
[04:03] <Alpha232> Xamusk: pretty much...
[04:03] <burepe> I am reading a faq to set up a LAMP server and it says "After installing PHP
[04:03] <burepe> You may need to increase the memory limit that PHP imposes on a script. Edit the /etc/php5/apache2/php2.ini file and increase the memory_limit value. " Do I need to do that? If so, how?
[04:03] <Alpha232> Xamusk: but before you do anythign with ip tables...
[04:03] <longwave> npster: if you are having problems with resolv.conf then the resolvconf package can help manage it for you
[04:03] <LorandKA> roe: FATAL: Module isapnp not found.
[04:04] <Alpha232> Xamusk: make sure you have a rule to allow you in...   then make sure you have a serial console setup incase you lock yourself out ;)
[04:04] <Ronz> npster, your network prefferences
[04:04] <roe> LorandKA: yea, its gonna have to be compiled I believe
[04:04] <npster> Longwave, how do i get it
[04:04] <roe> anyone know if Breezy had isa support built in to the kernel?
[04:04] <Xamusk> Alpha232, well... the machine itself is a workstation
[04:04] <longwave> npster: "sudo apt-get install resolvconf" but make sure you read the documentation to configure it
[04:04] <LorandKA> sounds bad
[04:04] <roe> LorandKA: hehe :)
[04:04] <TheGateKeeper> roe: cat /etc/asound.conf ~/.asoundrc* && amixer <-- sound card detected any use to you?
[04:04] <LorandKA> or diesn't sound
[04:05] <Xamusk> Alpha232, so I can always go to the terminal in-site
[04:05] <bijan> how to get surround sound with alsa-mixer and audigy 2 zs?
[04:05] <Alpha232> Xamusk: ok well just remember... X runs on tcp ports even locally ;)
[04:05] <npster> longwave: from where do I get it
[04:05] <roe> TheGateKeeper: to me? I don't think so...
[04:05] <Alpha232> Xamusk: so if you boot yourself out, you might find you need to Ctrl-Alt-F1 to a terminal
[04:05] <Shinzetsu> cant i uninstall all desktop envoirments?
[04:05] <Shinzetsu> and just install KDE
[04:05] <Alpha232> Shinzetsu: why not just install Kbuntu?
[04:06] <cappiz> fuck... my laptop doesnt boot the kernel after install
[04:06] <eeve55646> .
[04:06] <Alpha232> cappiz: language please...
[04:06] <Xamusk> Alpha232, so, all I have to do is make a rule only for the 80 port
[04:06] <roe> TheGateKeeper: I am helping LorandKA but it seems that 6.06 doesn't have isapnp built into the kernel so it can't find her/his sound card
[04:06] <Shinzetsu> let me try it
[04:06] <LorandKA> his :P
[04:06] <cappiz> says: Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel.
[04:06] <eeve55646> i have gta san andreas
[04:06] <cappiz> nothing happens though :S
[04:06] <Alpha232> Xamusk: well   port 80, 8080, 8000, 443,
[04:07] <Alpha232> Xamusk: you might want to block port 21 and 20,
[04:07] <Xamusk> Alpha232, oh, yeah. those too :)
[04:07] <npster> longwave I got it trough Synaptic but how do I start it ?
[04:07] <Alpha232> Xamusk: in reality, if you are locking them down totally
[04:07] <Alpha232> Xamusk: just allow the ports you need for XDMCP
[04:07] <eeve55646> hohoho
[04:07] <Xamusk> Alpha232, that's my intention... and ssh for remote admin
[04:07] <roe> LorandKA: I never like assuming :)... pending some confirmation from the channel here, the "easiest" thing might be to install breezy, the "best" thing would be to compile and install the module you need
[04:08] <LorandKA> there is too quiet here
[04:08] <cappiz> someone knows why that might be?
[04:08] <boricua> when you install a pkg with apt-get install foo  where can i see the contents of that pkg i thought i could go to /var/cache/apt/archieves but i dont see a pkg installed there ?
[04:08] <LorandKA> roe i might try the best :P
[04:08] <ta-ru> gg
[04:08] <longwave> npster: look at the README file in /usr/share/doc/resolvconf, it will tell you how to configure it
[04:08] <roe> LorandKA: good answer :)
[04:08] <azureal> hi, can anyone explain a few rtorrent basics to me, or guide me to the appropriate channel?
[04:09] <LorandKA> ok
[04:09] <LorandKA> ,so let's begin
[04:09] <azureal> ok... such as having multiple torrents
[04:09] <shawnr_> I have vlc & mplayer firefox plugin. How can i set firefox to use vlc instead of mplayer
[04:09] <azureal> or having it continue uploading after I exit
[04:09] <roe> LorandKA: we first need the tools
[04:09] <Alpha232> azureal:    rtorrent is awesome
[04:09] <LorandKA> tools...
[04:10] <azureal> nod, it is awesome =)
[04:10] <roe> there is a package that has them all, (make, gcc...)
[04:10] <Alpha232> azureal: you do want to look at the manpage though, it explains everything...
[04:10] <roe> but I forget the name
[04:10] <gabaug> roe: build-essential
[04:10] <azureal> alpha232--yes, i looked at it
[04:10] <roe> thanx :)
[04:10] <gabaug> I have "g++ [...]  -lXmu", and I have libxmu installed..but b/c there is not -shared in the g++ call, it's looking for the static lib, right?  I only see .so's in /usr/lib  ..ideas?
[04:10] <degreez> goodevening all, can someone please help with a problem, im trying to install Vmware tools in a guest OS of ubuntu but am having errors in the untar command..
[04:11] <J_P> hi all
[04:11] <azureal> alpha232: i'm just not sure if i'm closing/starting it up correctly
[04:11] <Alpha232> azureal: downsides are that it doesn't do dht but thats an Azureus thing anyways...    i use rtorrent as my offline seed, i use Az on my laptop and move the files over to my linux box and run rtorrent to continue seeding after i leave
[04:11] <ever> hoohohh
[04:11] <ever> gta rulezz
[04:11] <azureal> alpha232: yes, how do i continue seeding? next time i ran the prog my file was not there
[04:11] <Alpha232> azureal:   well just run   "rtorrent"
[04:11] <ever> onko tl ketn suomesta
[04:11] <iwilcox> Hi...I've got fs corruption issues with my backup drive (thankfully during a test), and I want to blame /something/ for peace of mind.  It's an ext3 fs through a dm-crypt mapping on a USB drive.  I suspect dm-crypt.  Anyone got any ideas how one might go about blaming it?
[04:12] <Alpha232> azureal: you need to tell it what torrent file you want to use every time, its not like Az that keeps a list of which ones are loaded
[04:12] <Alpha232> azureal: if you want to seed EVERYTHING, just    rtorrent *.torrent
[04:12] <shawnr_> I have vlc & mplayer firefox plugin. How can i set firefox to use vlc instead of mplayer
[04:12] <Alpha232> azureal: or just list the filenames you want to seed,     rtorrent file1.torrent file2.torrent
[04:13] <azureal> can i just close xterm while the prog is running? or is that a bad way to close it
[04:13] <Alpha232> azureal: or you can enter them in manually once rtorrent is started by using the Enter key, then typing the path to the torrent
[04:13] <LorandKA> roe , i'm holding the breezy cd in my hand...can you give me a warranty, that it will work?
[04:13] <azureal> (and will it remember the spot if i run rtorrent and add the filename)
[04:13] <Alpha232> azureal: that is a Bad way...   it won't continue to run when you do that
[04:13] <Alpha232> azureal: do   Control-Q to quit, to let it close gracefully
[04:13] <azureal> alpha232: yes, i've been using the enter key meth
[04:14] <Alpha232> azureal: also lookup   screen   if you want to leave it running in the background after you close the terminal
[04:14] <roe> LorandKA: wait about 3mins ok
[04:14] <LorandKA> olk
[04:14] <roe> :)
[04:14] <LorandKA> ok ok ok
[04:14] <scrilla-> like
[04:14] <scrilla-> is there anything better than NTLMAPS?
[04:14] <azureal> ok, and after letting it close gracefully (let's say I didnt finish dling a file)
[04:15] <Alpha232> azureal: next time it starts, it will scan the file and start downloading the pieces that are incomplete
[04:15] <azureal> alpha232: ah, ok, thanks very much =)
[04:15] <Alpha232> azureal: but fair warning... it does not resume partial blocks..
[04:15] <agresor> I have partition ext3  owner is root it is mounted. but have only READ-ONLY permission. How to change that owner or how to chage that permission ?????
[04:15] <azureal> ?
[04:15] <azureal> alpha232: what do you mean by that?
[04:15] <jrib> agresor: chown for owner, chmod for permissions
[04:16] <Alpha232> azureal: so if you are dealing with 4Meg pieces, if you close before the piece finishes, that piece will be discarded and will have to start that piece from the begining
[04:16] <agresor> /dev/hda6  in  /media/hda6
[04:16] <boga> what are the packages that can be used to beautify/enhance GNOME? I have no names, so I cannot install!
[04:16] <Ronz> boga, gdm
[04:16] <jrib> !themes > boga
[04:16] <Ronz> ro go through the
[04:16] <Ronz> yea, what jrib said
[04:16] <azureal> alpha232: so basically i should just leave it on til a file finishes?
[04:16] <frogzoo> scrilla-: ntlmaps is as good as it gets atm
[04:16] <jrib> boga: devilspie, brightside, gdesklets are what I would consider "enhancements", themes make it look the way you want
[04:16] <agresor> jrib,  how ?
[04:17] <Alpha232> azureal: you should leave it even after the file finishes,  Pay Back
[04:17] <Xamusk> Alpha232, anyway, I don't think I have to open ports 443 and stuff... cause the rule for the squid owner will already match the packet
[04:17] <jrib> agresor: if you want to make the user "joe" the owner of every file in /media/hda6, then you would do:   sudo chown -R joe:joe /media/hda6
[04:18] <roe> LorandKA: from command line "sudo modprobe snd-es18xx"
[04:18] <roe> what happens
[04:18] <azureal> alpha232: of course, it's just that something very different from azureus is happeninng
[04:18] <xbehave2> where do programs go when i install them?
[04:18] <frogzoo> agresor: where is it mounted?
[04:18] <agresor> in /media/hda6
[04:18] <frogzoo> xbehave2: dpkg -L package_name
[04:18] <Alpha232> Xamusk: well for security, and to prevent using proxy conn's to get around your blocks... you might only want to open the allowed ports even for the ssh owner
[04:18] <azureal> alpha232: for example, atm i'm downloading 220 and uploading at 600 lol
[04:18] <Alpha232> Xamusk: errr the Proxy owner sorry
[04:19] <frogzoo> agresor: mount |grep /media/hda6 ; ls -ld /media/hda6
[04:19] <nox-Hand> I am attempting to add a printer under the LiveCD as I DESPERATELY need a document from the net printed, and I currrently only have a broken Ubuntu and a cli-based Arch system. Anywho, I add the printer, and it disappears instantly. Any ideas_
[04:19] <azureal> alpha: i'll probably have uploaded 3x the file when i'm done ;)
[04:19] <xbehave2> i need the directory so i can tell firefox to use it, do i type that into console
[04:19] <Alpha232> azureal: umm yeah... i have the feeling you're downloading copyright material...
[04:19] <Alpha232> azureal: all your uploads are being sent to companies that monitor torrents to catch people who download pirated stuff
[04:20] <Xamusk> Alpha232, hmmmm... nice tought... however, I'm not sure if I need that kind of security... as my outer network is waaay less secure than that
[04:20] <williamvb> can i copy things from a NTFS partition to a FAT32 partition without any troubles?
[04:20] <Xamusk> and security of a system is as strong as the weakest link
[04:20] <frogzoo> williamvb: yup, no problem
[04:20] <Alpha232> Xamusk: well if you're responsible for these machines and need to keep them from being naughty.... my rule is to make a solid wall and only poke holes where you need them
[04:20] <Xamusk> anyway, it still is a good practice
[04:20] <Alpha232> Xamusk: well with firewalls its the opposite
[04:21] <williamvb> hmm, thats what i thought but when i try to copy it says "cannot create folder" even though i checked permissions and read only is unchecked and read and write is enabled
[04:21] <azureal> alpha232: there's a reason some companies/sites are still alive
[04:21] <Alpha232> Xamusk: a host is only as secure as the most restrictive firewall in its path
[04:21] <azureal> alpha232: they have clever agreements
[04:21] <agresor> frogzoo, i done it with sudo chown -R agresor:agresor /media/hda6
[04:21] <agresor> but when i retart it
[04:21] <Xamusk> Alpha232, yes... I still shiver whenever I see my firewall's rules... not set by me of course, but full of holes... one day I even found a misconfig in the outer squid
[04:21] <agresor> it will stay ?
[04:21] <n3m3s1s4u> anyone here can help me with a tightvncserver question?
[04:21] <degreez> is somone has any idea how to isntall vmware tools for ubuntu as a guest os could u please help
[04:21] <agresor> or i have to restart ?
[04:21] <frogzoo> agresor: what I want to know is what those commands returned
[04:22] <Alpha232> azureal: umm ok whatever, but the point is this, your rtorrent client doesn't support SafePeers which az does... which is why you have so many more connections in rtorrent
[04:22] <LorandKA> roe FATAL: Module snd_esl8xx not found.
[04:22] <azureal> hmm...
[04:22] <Alpha232> azureal: food for thought
[04:23] <rambo3> sudo updatedb && locate snd_esl8
[04:23] <Alpha232> but now time to be selfish...  its time for ME to ask for help lol...
[04:23] <scrilla-> how do i make an ISO image off my ubuntu CD so I can mount it as if it was my CD-ROM and stop using my CD everytime it asks for it?
[04:23] <frogzoo> scrilla-: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=ubuntu.iso bs=10000000
[04:23] <Nogimics> scrilla- why does it ask for the cd?
[04:23] <rambo3> mkiso
[04:23] <roe> LorandKA: the L should be a one "1"
[04:24] <nalioth> scrilla-: just edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out the 'deb cdrom' line  (put a # at the beginning of that line)
[04:24] <Xamusk> Alpha232, my biggest problem is that the XDMCP traffic passes through the outer network, and XDMCP is not secure by any standards... the biggest problem really is budget... If I had a single switch more, it would be much better... cause one only has to change the manual IP to dhcp to bypass all that security
[04:24] <Nogimics> Why dont you just change the source to get from repo's rather than the cd?
[04:24] <scrilla-> ok sec
[04:24] <scrilla-> ill do that
[04:24] <scrilla-> a quick question
[04:24] <scrilla-> when i use VINO-server
[04:24] <scrilla-> i can connect to my ubuntu box remotely
[04:25] <scrilla-> however mos of the stuff wont refresh and i see nothing but the border of the windows
[04:25] <LorandKA> roe: ??
[04:25] <roe> LorandKA: not esl but es18xx
[04:25] <Alpha232> anyone know how to get the slmodem drivers working?
[04:25] <shawnr_> I have vlc & mplayer firefox plugin. How can i set firefox to use vlc instead of mplayer
[04:26] <williamvb> when i try to copy thigns from a NTFS partition to a FAT32 partition it says cannot create folder and it doesnt copy. i made sure that read only is unchecked in the permissions and i made sure read and write was enabled on that drive
[04:26] <jrib> shawnr_: remove the mplayer plugin
[04:27] <LorandKA> roe: FATAL: Error inserting snd_es18xx (/lib/modules/2.6.12-9-386/kernel/sound/isa/snd-es18xx.ko): No such device
[04:27] <LorandKA> FATAL: Error running install command for snd_es18xx
[04:27] <TheGateKeeper> shawnr_: workaround: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/446/
[04:27] <shawnr_> thanks
[04:27] <scrilla-> brb
[04:27] <rambo3> LorandKA on that massage i would say its a wrong driver for your sound card
[04:27] <williamvb> nvm i found what i did wrong, i forgot to enable wiritng through the actions menu
[04:28] <gilianima> after installing the phpbb2 package, how to configure it ? where is it installed ?
[04:28] <Rikkimaru> if I want to search through a bunch of files for a specific piece of text, how can I figure out which file it is in?  Currently I'm lessing and greping, but this doesn't give me the file name.
[04:28] <LorandKA> its ess audiodrive
[04:29] <jrib> Rikkimaru: grep -H
[04:29] <frogzoo> Rikkimaru: find . -exec grep blah {} \; -print | less                is what I do - it's ugly, but it works
[04:29] <roe> LorandKA: try "sudo modprobe snd-es168"
[04:29] <rambo3> LorandKA you did check alsa.org that driver fits and all
[04:30] <Rikkimaru> jrib: -H just put '(standard input):' on the edge of the screen
[04:30] <mathieu> frogzoo: how about grep -r bleh .  ?
[04:30] <jrib> Rikkimaru: that's not what my man page says :/
[04:31] <trappist> yeah grep -r is the way to go there
[04:31] <jrib> Rikkimaru: what command are you issuing exactly?
[04:31] <Rikkimaru> less * | grep -H get_user, which makes sense, b/c it is from std input.  How do I make grep read the files?
[04:31] <frogzoo> mathieu: I think the winner is 'grep -rH blah /xxx'
[04:31] <trappist> grep -r foo .
[04:32] <Rikkimaru> jrib: nm
[04:32] <Rikkimaru> jrib: got it to work
[04:32] <mathieu> unfortunately not all grep implementations understand -r (like the one on Tru64)
[04:32] <trappist> thought -H was default
[04:32] <trappist> prints filenames here
[04:32] <trappist> without -H that is
[04:32] <jrib> trappist: for me as well, I just mentioned it because it wasn't showing up for him
[04:32] <frogzoo> seems -r anticipates -H
[04:33] <trappist> jrib: probably because he was using find, which sends files to grep one at a time.  grep won't print filenames for single-file searches.
[04:33] <trappist> frogzoo: right.
[04:33] <frogzoo> mathieu: k, that works much better, thx
[04:33] <scrilla-> how do i install apache 1 + php?
[04:33] <scrilla-> apt-get install apache?
[04:33] <scrilla-> yet that would fetch apache2
[04:33] <burepe> !apache
[04:33] <ubotu> lamp is a shortcut for Linux-Apache-Mysql-{PHP,Perl,Python}. To setup a LAMP server on Ubuntu, install the packages libapache2-mod-php5, php5-mysql, and mysql-server-5.0. You can also choose 'install a LAMP server' from the server install cd boot menu. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[04:33] <mathieu> Rikkimaru: less * |  doesn't make sense... less is for paging. at least use cat instead
[04:34] <frogzoo> anyone tried irc with text to speech ?
[04:34] <burepe> scrilla did you see that?
[04:34] <scrilla-> i dont want apache2.
[04:34] <burepe> I am installing a LAMP server using a faq from ubotu. I need another faq to tell me how to use it. Like ports, and firewalls and whatever. Any suggestions?
[04:34] <rambo3> frogzoo like in opera
[04:34] <trappist> scrilla-: I'm not entirely sure 1.3.x is available in the repos
[04:34] <Rikkimaru> mathieu: what pragmatic difference is there?
[04:35] <frogzoo> rambo3: I'll check it out, thx
[04:35] <mathieu> burepe: ports: default. firewall: you don't need it to use it
[04:35] <frogzoo> burepe: tldp.org   for all your general linux documentation needs
[04:35] <trappist> Rikkimaru: you're trying to send files to grep.  cat isn't the right way either, but pagers are for viewing, not to act as pieces of data plumbing.
[04:36] <burepe> ok, what do I need to do after that? I want to install drupal
[04:36] <ryanakca> to reinstall python, what do I run? sudo dpkg --force-reinstreq python2.3?
[04:36] <burepe> just do that?
[04:36] <ballpointcarrot> scrilla: sudo apt-get install apache should install apache v1.
[04:36] <mathieu> Rikkimaru: it's easier for others to understand what you're doing. less is meant for the user, not to pipe. it's confusing, what you wrote
[04:36] <trappist> ryanakca: sudo apt-get install --reinstall python2.3
[04:37] <scrilla-> ballpointcarrot that would install apache2.
[04:37] <frogzoo> ryanakca: you might have 2.4, btw
[04:37] <Rikkimaru> mathieu: I didn't expect to have to show it to anyone, but I understand your point.
[04:37] <trappist> scrilla-: apt-cache show apache says 1.3.33
[04:37] <scrilla-> ill go with apache2
[04:37] <ryanakca> trappist: nope... error... just a sec ... reinstall 2.3 Is what I want
[04:37] <cliffd> anyone know of a good mythtv install doc for ubuntu or kubuntu? I can only find one that references compiling everything. I would like to apt get if possible.
[04:38] <ryanakca> trappist: (I keep getting errors during edgy upgrade, and --force-remove-reinstreq should work...)
[04:38] <trappist> cliffd: deb http://home.eng.iastate.edu/~superm1 dapper main <-- put that in your sources.list and apt-get away
[04:38] <ballpointcarrot> scrilla: do you have any extra repos that would overwrite that?  the base repos set apache as 1.3.34-2
[04:38] <cliffd> trappist: thanks.
[04:39] <rambo3> cliffd i tryed that , and at the end i had to compile it my self. mythgame was bugging
[04:40] <scrilla-> ballpointcarrot ill go with apache 2, its no biggie dude
[04:40] <ryanakca> trappist: error: http://rkavanagh.homelinux.org/~ryan/pythonerror
[04:41] <ballpointcarrot> scrilla: all right.
[04:41] <scrilla-> thanks tho
[04:41] <ballpointcarrot> yep
[04:41] <computer13137> Hi.
[04:42] <scrilla-> Setting up apache (1.3.34-2ubuntu0.1) ...
[04:42] <scrilla-> dpkg: error processing apache (--configure):
[04:42] <scrilla->  subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[04:42] <scrilla-> wtf?
[04:42] <zazeem> can someone help me? i get a lot of lag in counter strike source when i play on cedega, other games like call of duty run great, butcss lags.  it never lagged on windows. Also i posted here because cedega channel isnt answering after 1 hour
[04:42] <zazeem> and im on dapper
[04:42] <computer13137> I have a question.  I would like to run a Halo dedicated server on a server I have.  I do not have physical access to the server, as it is in a datacenter.  Is there any way, like using Wine, that I can run the Halo dedicated server on that server box?
[04:43] <phlite_> hey guys quick question, if you want kde with ubuntu, u want to just get a hold of kubuntu?
[04:43] <scrilla-> how do i find out a list of my installed packages from command line
[04:43] <petemc> dpkg -l
[04:43] <imbrandon> phlite_: yea
[04:44] <phlite_> imbrandon: k funny they don't just put em together eh
[04:44] <ompaul> phlite_, you can do that with sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop if you have a couple of gigs to spare
[04:44] <frogzoo> scrilla-: also, dpkg --get-selections
[04:44] <computer13137> !wine
[04:44] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[04:44] <TheGateKeeper> phlite_: if you have already installed ubuntu, you can install the KDE desktop enviroment
[04:45] <imbrandon> sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop phlite_
[04:45] <imbrandon> also
[04:45] <ryanakca> computer13137: that's more of a #winehq question
[04:45] <computer13137> OK
[04:45] <computer13137> I couldn't find the Wine room
[04:45] <computer13137> Thanks
[04:46] <zazeem> can someone help me? i get a lot of lag in counter strike source when i play on cedega, other games like call of duty run great, butcss lags.  it never lagged on windows. Also i posted here because cedega channel isnt answering after 1 hour
[04:47] <ballpointcarrot> zazeem: try running cedega with an -opengl option.
[04:48] <Shish> Security update server still down o_O?
[04:48] <ballpointcarrot> zazeem: eg: cedega CStrike.exe -opengl
[04:48] <shawnr_> does vlc support quicktime?
[04:50] <scrilla-> how do i switch from gnome to DKE?
[04:50] <scrilla-> KDE, rather
[04:50] <rambo3> shawnr you mean , never mind , you need w32 codecs
[04:51] <ballpointcarrot> scrilla: do you have KDE installed?
[04:51] <shawnr_> rambo3, i have them
[04:51] <scrilla-> ballpointcarrot apt-get install kde?
[04:51] <shawnr_> rambo3, mplayer can play them
[04:51] <scrilla-> i will install it in a bit
[04:51] <ballpointcarrot> scrilla: if you have room, do apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[04:51] <scrilla-> do i need to get rid off gnome first?
[04:51] <scrilla-> whats kubuntu-desktop?
[04:51] <scrilla-> yeah, im uid0
[04:52] <scrilla-> whats kubuntu-desktop?
[04:52] <shawnr_> I can't get the vlc-mozilla plugin to work. i get a black box with white letters that say "no-picture"
[04:52] <ballpointcarrot> it gives you the basic setup for kubuntu, the kde-based ubuntu
[04:52] <cappiz> is there something really broken with ubuntu server install cd? wont load the kernel... xubuntu though works just fine
[04:52] <scrilla-> do i need to get rid off gnome first?
[04:52] <ballpointcarrot> no
[04:52] <scrilla-> what after i install kubuntu?
[04:52] <Shish> At the login screen you should get a choice of whether to log into kde or gnome
[04:52] <scrilla-> ah
[04:53] <scrilla-> thats nice
[04:53] <scrilla-> thanks
[04:53] <zazeem> ballpointcarrot: how? it just opens the gui
[04:53] <scrilla-> a quick thing
[04:53] <scrilla-> when i startx it does not show a "login" screen
[04:53] <scrilla-> whys that?
[04:53] <scrilla-> how do i enable it?
[04:53] <shawnr_> you don't have a login manager
[04:53] <shawnr_> or
[04:53] <tanlaan> hey everyone umm, I went to synaptic because the upgrade program said i needed to. And when i hit mark all upgrades, and hit apply, it just told me that it was gonna remove totem and ubuntu desktop
[04:53] <shawnr_> you have auto loging turned on
[04:53] <scrilla-> can i apt-get one?
[04:53] <tanlaan> is this ok?
[04:53] <ballpointcarrot> zazeem: at a terminal, type: cedega CStrike.exe -opengl
[04:53] <Shish> if you're starting X as a regular user, you're already logged in
[04:53] <zazeem> ok
[04:53] <scrilla-> yeah, im starting x as a regular user
[04:54] <Cha_Cha> hey all - ive got a question about ftp permissions. im not able to create directories or write to a directory through ftp, but i can through ssh. (warning - im a n00b)
[04:54] <scrilla-> do i need to install a login manager?
[04:54] <zazeem> im not using point 2 play i couldnt get it to wok
[04:54] <shawnr_> I can't get the vlc-mozilla plugin to work. i get a black box with white letters that say "no-picture"
[04:55] <ballpointcarrot> Cha_Cha: it depends on how the FTP server is set up.  check your server's config file.
[04:55] <Shish> to start the login screen (aka display manager) run "/etc/init.d/gdm start" as root (or kdm / xdm instead of gdm, depends on what's installed)
[04:55] <frogzoo> Cha_Cha: depends on the ftp server's settings - completely independent perms from the ext perms
[04:55] <scrilla-> before i start x?
[04:55] <Cha_Cha> ah ok
[04:56] <BeepAU> Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work! Boot with apic=debug and send a report. Then try booting with the 'noapic' option
[04:56] <Shish> yeah, the *dm startup script starts X for itself
[04:56] <BeepAU> does that look familiar to anyone?
[04:56] <MrFatJack> I rebooted my recently installed Ubuntu 6.06 and now it just hangs after the GRUB loading please wait . . .  message. Any thoughts?
[04:56] <scrilla-> thanks
[04:56] <BeepAU> I can't get into Ubuntu, and that's the error message that comes up
[04:57] <BeepAU> what can I do to fix it?
[04:57] <frogzoo> BeepAU: if the kernel panics, that's a hard crash - there's nothing left to log into
[04:57] <cappiz> is there something really broken with ubuntu server install cd? wont load the kernel... xubuntu though works just fine
[04:57] <nikin> i have installed enemy territory and it complains about a missing file
[04:58] <BeepAU> frogzoo: so what? my whole os is gone?
[04:58] <lastnode> cappiz, is the cd media ok?
[04:58] <nikin> and i see only a black screen, the sound is ok... and asfar as i could check the program is working to
[04:58] <nikin> just i dont see nothing
[04:58] <smacky_wolf> Anyone have any clues how to install Darwinia in a 64bit Ubunut os?
[04:58] <frogzoo> BeepAU: not running - you can reboot of course
[04:58] <Shish> all the problems I've had with install CDs have been badly burned disks~
[04:58] <zazeem> ballpointcarrot: i dont have point 2 play it wont work, is there another way to run it in opengl?
[04:58] <[b] urk> nikin, did you try getting the file it was missing?
[04:58] <TheGateKeeper> MrFatJack: could be that you just need to reinstall grub, or there could be something more seriously wrong with you hard disk, in which case you need to check it out using badblocks
[04:58] <tanlaan> When i hit mark all upgrades, then hit apply it tells me that two programs will be removed totem and ubuntu-desktop, it doesnt say anything about replacing them, will this screw up my computer?
[04:58] <BeepAU> by reboot, do you mean re-install or will everything still be there?
[04:59] <nikin> Burk: not yet...
[04:59] <nikin> just a min
[04:59] <ballpointcarrot> zazeem: i don't know.
[04:59] <BeepAU> how can i reboot? sorry I'm a total linux n00b
[04:59] <frogzoo> BeepAU: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bugs?field.searchtext=Kernel+panic+-+not+syncing%3A+IO-APIC&orderby=-date_last_updated&search=Search&field.status%3Alist=Unconfirmed&field.status%3Alist=Confirmed&field.status%3Alist=In+Progress&field.status%3Alist=Needs+Info&field.status%3Alist=Fix+Committed&field.assignee=&field.owner=&field.omit_dupes=on&field.has_patch=&field.has_no_package=
[04:59] <jbroome> wow
[04:59] <lastnode> tanlaan, no it wont, afaik. ubuntu-desktop is a meta package, which means it can be safely removed. i think totem is one too. someone else here will be able to confirm
[04:59] <longwave> tanlaan: ubuntu-desktop is a virtual package that doesn't do anything on its own so you should be safe there, and i *think* the same goes for totem
[04:59] <smacky_wolf> BeepAU, System > Quit > restart
[05:00] <cappiz> lastnode yeah i would guess so... download the iso twice
[05:00] <BeepAU> frogzoo: thanks
[05:00] <cappiz> and burned it three times
[05:00] <cappiz> :S
[05:00] <MystaMax> I just set my IP address to something static, do I need to restart something from the CLI or anything, no GUI
[05:00] <tanlaan> thank you lastnode and longwave :D
[05:00] <Shish> ubuntu-desktop is a meta package, and it /can/ be removed, but you shouldn't ever need to  :-/
[05:00] <cappiz> im trying to install it on my laptop
[05:00] <lastnode> cappiz, md5sum it, or use the media check option on the first screen
[05:00] <lastnode> cappiz, also try and get it via bittorrent, as most clients these days hash check data
[05:00] <longwave> MystaMax: if the interface is eth0, "sudo ifdown eth0" then "sudo ifup eth0"
[05:01] <MrFatJack> I've booted off the install disk, mounted my boot drive but have not figured out how to reinstall grub from there. Can you point me in the right direction?
[05:01] <TheGateKeeper> wiki says you need meta packages if you do upgrades
[05:01] <zugu> anyone know if streamripper will work with rythmbox ?
[05:01] <lastnode> MrFatJack, open the livecd?
[05:01] <BeepAU> smacky_wolf: I can't get into Ubuntu, and I've tried restarting many times
[05:01] <lastnode> i mean bootup a live cd, and run grub from it?
[05:01] <cappiz> will do
[05:02] <smacky_wolf> BeepAU, Pm please?
[05:02] <cappiz> starnge thingys is that it passed the install, but when i want to boot my system it doesnt work
[05:02] <longwave> cappiz what laptop do you have? there are known issues with some models, you need to switch off acpi maybe
[05:02] <lastnode> cappiz, a byte or two is prolly missing somewhere
[05:02] <cappiz> just hangs, cant press num lock either
[05:02] <ballpointcarrot> MrFatJack: do you know the device name of your hd?
[05:02] <lastnode> oh wait
[05:02] <zachalekos> anyone knows how to fix this?  fglrxinfo
[05:02] <zachalekos> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[05:02] <zachalekos> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[05:02] <zachalekos> Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual!
[05:02] <lastnode> i didnt hear that part, what  longwave  said
[05:02] <lastnode> !paste
[05:02] <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)
[05:02] <cappiz> elitegroup g220
[05:02] <cappiz> longwave okey
[05:03] <MrFatJack> i know the name and have mounted it under the live cd
[05:03] <cappiz> but it works fine with xubuntu
[05:03] <cappiz> :P
[05:03] <lastnode> cappiz, try boot acpi=off <-- longwave, is that bootflag correct?
[05:03] <longwave> ah, thats a bit weird
[05:03] <MystaMax> longwave, thanks that worked great!
[05:03] <lastnode> cappiz, oh right, that's why i said it must be cd media.
[05:03] <longwave> yes lastnode
[05:03] <lastnode> cappiz, if xubuntu works fine, ubuntu should too
[05:04] <nikin> the file its missing is part of the game
[05:04] <ballpointcarrot> MrFatJack: at a terminal: grub-install /dev/hd* (whichever your hard drive is - commonly /dev/hda)
[05:04] <longwave> cappiz: if you have xubuntu installed, you can get ubuntu as well by installing the ubuntu-desktop packages
[05:04] <cappiz> lastnode, cant see how it can be it, download from 2 diff mirrors
[05:04] <cappiz> bured it 3 times
[05:04] <cappiz> none worked
[05:04] <cappiz> i want the server install
[05:04] <cappiz> cause im gonna install fluxbox
[05:04] <TheGateKeeper> MrFatJack: I would inclined to run badblocks on it first to check it's ok
[05:05] <TheGateKeeper> !grub > MrFatJack
[05:05] <cappiz> downloading the alternate version now, gonna see if it works
[05:05] <longwave> cappiz: i would stick with xubuntu while you get fluxbox up and running, then you can remove the xfce packages when you're ready
[05:05] <cappiz> okok...
[05:05] <cappiz> :)
[05:05] <MrFatJack> I'll run bad blocks but I'm confused as to what grub-install will install.
[05:05] <cappiz> ill try that afterwards
[05:05] <stefg>  wasn't there fluxbuntu?... i vaguely remember something like that
[05:05] <ryanakca> how do I reinstall python2.3? apt-get install --reinstall python2.3   gives me these errors: http://rkavanagh.homelinux.org/~ryan/pythonerror
[05:05] <cappiz> the media passed the test lastnode
[05:05] <longwave> stefg: that or fubuntu or something, i forget
[05:05] <FlimFlamMan> hi.  how do i delete a "network place"?  i get "operation not permitted".
[05:06] <stefg> http://www.fluxbuntu.org/
[05:06] <sethk> FlimFlamMan, you need root privileges to do that
[05:06] <TheGateKeeper> !grub > TheGateKeeper
[05:06] <lastnode> cappiz, wierd
[05:06] <FlimFlamMan> sethk: is it possible to do that from the desktop?
[05:06] <FlimFlamMan> sethk: and why, if i created it as a user?
[05:06] <cappiz> the strange thingy is that i have had breezy desktop installed before
[05:06] <smacky_wolf> BeepAU, join #lol
[05:06] <sethk> MrFatJack, grub install will install grub onto the MBR (in the typical configuration) and grub support to /boot/grub
[05:07] <scrilla-> when i type /etc/init.d/gdm start
[05:07] <scrilla-> i get
[05:07] <longwave> ryanakca: why are you trying to reinstall python if it's already there? what is the "1 not fully installed or removed" package apt mentions?
[05:07] <scrilla-> * Starting GNOME DIsplay Mangar [FAIL] 
[05:07] <scrilla-> whats up with that?
[05:07] <synic> scrilla-: check the log
[05:07] <sethk> FlimFlamMan, did you create it as the same user that you are now using to delete it?
[05:07] <smacky_wolf> Scrilla; got nVidia?
[05:07] <scrilla-> smacky_wolf : ATI
[05:07] <FlimFlamMan> sethk: yes
[05:07] <scrilla-> synic what log exactly, xorgs?
[05:07] <FlimFlamMan> (iirc)
[05:07] <sethk> FlimFlamMan, you can run the prog with root privileges, but you'll run from the command line, not from a menu.
[05:08] <smacky_wolf> scrilla: Ah.
[05:08] <smacky_wolf> !ati
[05:08] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:08] <FlimFlamMan> sethk: ok, how do i delete it from the command lind?
[05:08] <FlimFlamMan> line
[05:08] <scrilla-> dude
[05:08] <sethk> FlimFlamMan, My guess is that you have privileges to create the "place", in the same way you have privileges to mount a cd.
[05:08] <scrilla-> that makes no sense
[05:08] <scrilla-> my box was working a few minutes ago
[05:08] <TheGateKeeper> scrilla-: it is installed?
[05:08] <sethk> FlimFlamMan, assuming it is mounted, then you use umount
[05:08] <scrilla-> TheGateKeeper its in /etc/init.d I assume it is, how do i find out, dpkg -l |grep manager?
[05:08] <sethk> FlimFlamMan, mount (no arguments) lists current mounts
[05:09] <cappiz> how can i completly remoev all xubuntu packages ?
[05:09] <scrilla-> its installed
[05:09] <scrilla-> root@ubuntu:/home/scrilla# dpkg -l |grep gdm
[05:09] <scrilla-> ii  gdm                                    2.14.9-0ubuntu1                         GNOME Display Manager
[05:09] <FlimFlamMan> sethk: it's not mounted.  it appears to be a shortcut to a mount i created a long time ago
[05:09] <scrilla-> like
[05:09] <scrilla-> its there
[05:09] <TheGateKeeper> scrilla-: just thought I would ask :-)
[05:09] <SheaTara> !paste scrilla-
[05:09] <ubotu> I know nothing about paste scrilla- - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[05:10] <SheaTara> !paste >scrilla-
[05:10] <scrilla-> TheGateKeeper any idea of why it might not be working?
[05:10] <longwave> cappiz: uninstall xubuntu-desktop and all of its dependencies, listed at http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/misc/xubuntu-desktop
[05:10] <cappiz> :)
[05:10] <scrilla-> is X supposed to be launched?
[05:10] <stefg> cappiz: there is no single command for that. xubuntu-desktop is the meta-pack to install, you could go throuh it's dependancy-listing to find out, what xfce specific packs it depends on
[05:10] <longwave> cappiz: actually, not all of them. you will still want some of the daemons and X for fluxbox, amongst other things
[05:10] <scrilla-> or am i supposed to run gdm start from the console and it will automagically startx and show a login screen?
[05:10] <rambo3> just search synaptic for xubuntu and remove them
[05:11] <longwave> cappiz: but that will give you a list to choose from that you might not need
[05:11] <TheGateKeeper> scrilla-: I would guess X needs to be running
[05:11] <cappiz> jupp... but i can install that afterwards :)
[05:11] <scrilla-> let me try that, real quick yo
[05:11] <longwave> cappiz: there is no real problem with having unused packages installed except for a minor waste of disk space
[05:11] <keb> hi, can someone help me with grub install?
[05:11] <cappiz> well, im geek in that kind of way, want to have a clean system when i start
[05:11] <stefg> !grub > keb
[05:12] <scrilla-> it aint working
[05:12] <scrilla-> could someone, please, help me with GDM?
[05:12] <keb> thx...
[05:12] <keb> i know this
[05:12] <Shish> "/etc/init.d/gdm start" will start x for itself, and will start on boot AFAIK
[05:12] <lastnode_> scrilla-, "not working" does help
[05:12] <lastnode_> nt
[05:12] <scrilla-> Shish: it gives me "FAIL"
[05:12] <scrilla-> when i launch it
[05:12] <sethk> FlimFlamMan, look for a file by that name in $HOME/Desktop
[05:13] <orbin> scrilla-: why are you issueing start in the first place?
[05:13] <scrilla-> orbin: because i want to launch gdm?
[05:13] <sproingie> dammit, what happened to the us repository?
[05:13] <sproingie> i'm sick of the damn thing bouncing
[05:13] <synic> scrilla-: I said "check the log"
[05:13] <amarokker> Hi, i installed some fonts I downloaded (.pfm,pfb, ttf fonts)- all of 'em seem to show up properly on Wind0ws/Oowriter- but not on linux
[05:13] <scrilla-> i checked the log
[05:13] <ofer0> I want to authenticate a user over the network without sending his plain-text password over the network. How to do it?
[05:13] <amarokker> can someone explain to me why?
[05:13] <sethk> FlimFlamMan, the other place to look is in your $HOME/.gnome2 and $HOME/.gnome2_private
[05:13] <synic> and?
[05:13] <scrilla-> nothing usefull is there
[05:13] <amarokker> do i need to instsall them using root as well?
[05:13] <scrilla-> at least not in the xorg.0.log
[05:13] <orbin> scrilla-: afaik, it needs sudo in front
[05:14] <orbin> try that
[05:14] <stefg> keb: if you have a working ubuntu a sudo grub-install /dev/hdX (your hardrive) will do it for you
[05:14] <scrilla-> makes no sense
[05:14] <TheGateKeeper> scrilla-: http://66.249.93.104/search?q=cache:DnqagGyjFBIJ:www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php%3Ft%3D120113+gdm+ubuntu&hl=en&gl=uk&ct=clnk&cd=4&client=firefox
[05:14] <scrilla-> im starting it as root
[05:14] <sethk> Amaranth, you need to install them to a directory in the font search path.  Find that directory in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:14] <synic> scrilla-: paste the log somewhere (rafb.net/paste
[05:14] <longwave> scrilla-: paste the log in a pastebin, there may be something there you have missed
[05:14] <keb> stefg, i've tryed it but it doesnot work
[05:14] <scrilla-> hold up yo
[05:14] <sproingie> i have 28 updates to install and they're all 404.  what gives?
[05:14] <amarokker> Hello? am i invisible in here?
[05:15] <sethk> scrilla-, there have to be errors, either in the X log or in the console from which you start gdm.
[05:15] <synic> amarokker: please explain the steps you took and the result.
[05:15] <ryanakca> longwave: because I'm upgrading to edgy and the upgrade is giving me errors...
[05:15] <sethk> amarokker, sorry, tab completion sent my answer to Amaranth
[05:15] <Shish> sproingie: have you updated the package list recently?
[05:15] <longwave> ryanakca: you should probably ask in #ubuntu+1 if it's an edgy question
[05:15] <lastnode_> ryanakca, er, edgy is not supported here. go to #ubuntu+1
[05:15] <amarokker> synic: Step one: cp /path/to/fonts ~/.fonts/. -v
[05:15] <ryanakca> amarokker: yep!
[05:15] <sproingie> Shish: just did
[05:15] <scrilla-> http://rafb.net/paste/results/Krt3za40.html
[05:15] <scrilla-> there yo go
[05:15] <scrilla-> i just pasted it
[05:15] <sethk> amarokker, , , you need to install them to a directory in the font search path.  Find that directory in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:15] <longwave> haha :)
[05:16] <synic> sethk: nah, they should work in ~/.fonts too
[05:16] <stefg> keb: 2nd option is to boot a Live CD with grub, escape to the grub commandline and issue 'find /boot/grub/stage1' then 'root (hd0)' or whatever your hd is, 'setup (hd0)'..
[05:16] <Shish> maybe the american servers generally then, I can't get at security updates at all :-/
[05:16] <sproingie> Shish: fails with the update applet and aptitude.  the repository is hosed
[05:16] <amarokker> sethk: can I append the font path in xorg.conf
[05:16] <NChief> if I have ubuntu(GNOME) an I install kubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop, will I be able to switch between GNOME, KDE and Xfce at startup?
[05:16] <NChief> snd*
[05:16] <sethk> amarokker, yes
[05:16] <lastnode_> NChief, yes you can
[05:16] <longwave> NChief: yes
[05:16] <FlimFlamMan> 
[05:16] <toxicfume> hi all
[05:16] <sproingie> Shish: yep.  any recommendations on repos that work?
[05:16] <lastnode_> longwave, again! :P
[05:16] <TheGateKeeper> NChief: yep
[05:16] <synic> amarokker: you need to run fc-cache
[05:16] <sethk> amarokker, use sudo vi  (or sudo some-other-editor)
[05:16] <toxicfume> whats the bash command to scan for available wireless access points?
[05:16] <Shish> I'm using the UK mirrors of the main repository
[05:16] <longwave> oh man
[05:16] <synic> amarokker: after you put them in your ~/.fonts
[05:17] <NChief> longwave lastnode_ TheGateKeeper ok:) thx:)
[05:17] <scrilla-> synic shish there you go with the log, if i run "startx" X runs smoothly gdm is the bitch
[05:17] <longwave> lastnode_ fear not i am outta here for a while :)
[05:17] <synic> toxicfume: wlist scan

[05:17] <jack__> i have a amd64 cpu, but i will run only 32-bit app. so i installed the 32-bit version kubuntu. which kernel is the best?
[05:17] <sethk> the font cache is produced automatically, you don't need to manually add fonts to it, unless you need them to show up without restarting X
[05:18] <bck> Hi, what is the safest way to update a running breezy to dapper? just change to dapper in /etc/apt/sources.list and dist-upgrade?
[05:18] <keb> live cd with grub?
[05:18] <stefg> !upgrade
[05:18] <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.
[05:18] <frogzoo> jack__: 686 u need
[05:18] <bck> ubotu, thank you!
[05:18] <ubotu> I know nothing about thank you! - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[05:18] <stefg> keb: do you have an ubuntu Desktop-CD?
[05:19] <toxicfume> synic thanks!
[05:19] <TheGateKeeper> bck: best way I found was to install update-manager and use that, odd apps went missing when I tried it manually
[05:19] <keb> yes, an install/live cd, but it has no rescue option
[05:19] <scrilla-> any clue about my GDM issue?
[05:19] <scrilla-> i can normally launch gdmsetup from X
[05:20] <synic> scrilla-: check the gdm log
[05:20] <sproingie> Shish: looks like the uk mirrors are in better shape, thanks.
[05:20] <scrilla-> synic: ok sec
[05:20] <lastnode_> scrilla-, pastebin the logs
[05:20] <lastnode_> ubotu, tell scrilla- about paste
[05:21] <scrilla-> its only 2 lines
[05:21] <scrilla-> Error: Command could not be executed!
[05:21] <scrilla-> Please install the X server or correct GDM configuration and restart GDM.
[05:21] <keb> stefg: i have an install/live cd
[05:22] <[b] urk> do you know where the icon-themes for gnome are located?
[05:22] <scrilla-> thats the error, at least thats all i can see in /var/log/gdm/:0.log
[05:22] <keb> i've read all the how-to-s, but nothing helped me there
[05:22] <xScrewballx> good day eh?
[05:22] <synic> scrilla-: what if you just type gdm at the cli?
[05:22] <stefg> keb: that will do the job... boot it, but press [esc]  and then [c]  to get to grubs command line
[05:22] <scrilla-> hold up
[05:22] <Allen> hey everyone
[05:22] <scrilla-> "gdm already running. Aborting!
[05:23] <xScrewballx> NE1 up for a Samba printing question?
[05:23] <ardchoille> [b] urk: Should be in /usr/share/icons
[05:23] <lastnode_> !ask
[05:23] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:23] <scrilla-> there we go
[05:23] <scrilla-> i killed it, then launched gdm from init.d and presto!"
[05:23] <scrilla-> thanks synic.
[05:23] <Allen> hey my xconf isn't working right when I am not running a live CD what should I do?
[05:23] <stefg> scrilla-: paste your /etc/gdm/gdm.conf to pastebin
[05:23] <longwave> Allen: what's not right about it?
[05:23] <sethk> scrilla-, that's odd, I launch gdm from the command line all the time.
[05:23] <fourat> is there any gaim plugin to enable talking over jabber with gmail talk ?
[05:23] <synic> scrilla-: np
[05:24] <Allen> the screen blacks out
[05:24] <frogzoo> [b] urk: /usr/share/pixmaps/ ?
[05:24] <Allen> longwave: the screen blacks out
[05:24] <sethk> Allen, save the xorg.conf file created by the live cd and copy it into /etc/X11
[05:24] <scrilla-> that was whoa
[05:24] <scrilla-> actually
[05:24] <Allen> sethk: how do I do that?
[05:24] <scrilla-> what is better, gnome or kde?
[05:24] <scrilla-> generally speaking, opinate.
[05:25] <xScrewballx> I'm new to Ubuntu (but not Linux or computers)  and am setting up a new connection. I think I got the Windows pwds right but I still get /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip) stopped with status 1!
[05:25] <stefg> !best
[05:25] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[05:25] <cappiz> lastnode, the alternate install cd worked :P
[05:25] <fourat> is there any gaim plugin to enable talking over jabber with gmail talk ?
[05:25] <cappiz> lol :>
[05:25] <scrilla-> anyone familiar with ntlmaps?

[05:26] <shadeofgrey> could somebody take a minute and help me understand something about xchat
[05:26] <Allen> I can't access my HD from the live CD so how am I suppose to copy information form it?
[05:26] <synic> scrilla-: never heard of 'em
[05:26] <stefg> Allen: you have to mount the partitions first
[05:26] <scrilla-> brb.
[05:26] <sethk> Allen, I didn't say to copy it to your HD
[05:26] <shadeofgrey> how do i make xchat show results from channel queries show up in seperate private dialogue windows?
[05:26] <erUSUL> Allen: how did you mounted it?
[05:26] <sethk> Allen, however you can mount your HD partitions from the live cd.
[05:27] <sethk> Allen, or you can use a USB drive.  or you can sftp it somewhere.  etc.
[05:27] <lastnode_> shadeofgrey, #xchat has 130+ members, go there
[05:27] <Allen> so where am I copying the apps to?
[05:27] <xScrewballx> thanx stef but the printer is on the XP box not on mine
[05:27] <skavenge> got a friend with an old toshiba laptop, dinosaur, 300 mhz 128 megs of ram, if i alternate cd it and run fluxbox or something is it going to even be usable? or just crawl?
[05:28] <stefg> skavenge: xubuntu shold be fine for it
[05:28] <sethk> skavenge, it should be ok, not a screamer, of course, but tolerable
[05:28] <Allen> sorry not apps where am I copying the xconf to the /etc/x11 on the live CD?
[05:28] <skavenge> okay thanks guys someone killed his win95 and i was hoping to get ubuntu onto it for him ill give it a whirl
[05:29] <TheGateKeeper> skavenge: got a test box running a P3 128Mb RAM and breezy, KDE & XFce
[05:29] <skavenge> okay cool, i just didnt have any experience with hardware this old and ubuntu
[05:30] <sebsebseb> I have a Ubuntu and Kubuntu installed with their partions.  and XP and a lap top recovery partion.  this is just one 80GB hard disk.
[05:31] <sebsebseb> however Ubuntu/Kbuntu has ended up up with 15GB and I carn't reize that ext3 partion with QTParted or Gparted.  I read about two other progrmas for resizing them,  but I am not sure.
[05:31] <sebsebseb> or one other
[05:32] <phlite_> hi, tell me why in your opinion ubuntu is superior to gentoo, thx
[05:32] <Allen_> hey
[05:32] <stefg> ubuntu is an ancient african saying for 'I'm tired of compiling' :-)
[05:32] <phlite_> stefg: lol
[05:32] <Allen_> how do I copy my xconf ot my /etc/x11 on the live cd?
[05:33] <toxicaway> hi all
[05:33] <phlite_> stefg: interesting that its built on debian
[05:33] <toxicaway> where is the xorg.conf file located?
[05:33] <Allen_> I don't know that is why I am asking
[05:33] <phlite_> stefg: so they have to wait on debian to update code befoe they can put out a release?
[05:34] <Allen_> my graphics card doesn't work right when I am not using the liveCD
[05:34] <stefg> phlite_: actually this belongs to #ubuntu-offtopic, in short: reasonable defaults, lean and mean package selection, usability
[05:34] <Allen_> I was told I would have to copy the xconf form it to the /etc/x11 then I got disconnected
[05:34] <HaFa> hi, i use the vncviewer to connect to my windows system, but how can i send a ctrl+alt+del ?
[05:35] <toxicaway> where is the xorg.conf file located?
[05:35] <phlite_> stefg: k
[05:36] <Allen_> the live cd I guess
[05:37] <TheGateKeeper> HaFa: is there not a button on the top left of the window with a drop down menu that says send Ctrl+Alt+del?
[05:37] <jrib> Hi, how can I get the contents of the X clipboard?  'xsel' doesn't seem to work (outputs nothing even though middle click pastes something)
[05:37] <HaFa> i look it up
[05:37] <jrib> toxicaway: /etc/X11
[05:37] <mlehrer> is anyone here familiar with alsa driver versions on ubuntu dapper
[05:37] <riffic> 1.10
[05:38] <Ronz> can you burn m4a files as audio with k3b?
[05:38] <Pecisk_> how it was to regenerate all locales?
[05:38] <Allen_> how do I mount my hd form the live cd?
[05:38] <Ronz> Allen, mount -t <filesystem> /dev/hda1 /mount/point
[05:39] <petemc> you generally dont need to specify the fs
[05:39] <Allen_> Ronz is there a way to do if form the gui?
[05:40] <Ronz> Allen_, i dont know, only way that i know of is from the terminal. its not that hard
[05:40] <HaFa> thx2 TheGateKeeper
[05:40] <Allen_> Ronz, what does <filesystem> mean?
[05:40] <acojlo> acojlo loves gnome!
[05:40] <Ronz> say i wanted to mount my drive...hda1 that is ext3
[05:40] <TheGateKeeper> HaFa: you found it then. yw :-)
[05:40] <Ronz> it would sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /media/otherdrive
[05:41] <Allen_> ok
[05:41] <Ronz> that would mount the drive to /media/otherdrive with the FS of ext3
[05:41] <Ronz> but if its ntfs, fat32, reiserfs, etc
[05:41] <Allen_> ok got you
[05:41] <Ronz> =)
[05:41] <Fjodor> How would I go about making a, say 100Mb, ramdisk?
[05:41] <Ronz> fooood time...later
[05:42] <Allen_> thanks Ronz
[05:42] <Allen_> Does anyone know how to fix a wide screen?
[05:42] <acojlo> kde is like a one very big table (desktop) with screws at every 10cm
[05:42] <XiXaQ> Allen, what do you mean fix?
[05:42] <smacky_wolf> Hrmf. Anyone have a clue how to parse acpi=off and noapic witha DesktopCD for Dapper?
[05:42] <Allen_> i am missng the two inches of viewable space
[05:42] <acojlo> well you have option at boot time
[05:43] <amarokker> umm...people- i am back- tried fc-cache after putting the local font path in xorg.conf- restarted X

[05:43] <smacky_wolf> acojlo, rly? cool. Thanks...
[05:43] <RES> hello ubuntu users
[05:43] <XiXaQ> Allen, perhaps you should adjust your monitor. My monitor has a button that auto-adjusts the screen.
[05:43] <acojlo> well, you have to press F6 or something - hint is displayed at boot time
[05:43] <XiXaQ> hello RES.
[05:44] <Allen_> it is an LCD
[05:44] <XiXaQ> Allen, mine is too.

[06:00] <Strykyr> i cantg et into su

[06:04] <cowmilk> guys, i have a hardware-installation question
[06:04] <synic> TokenBad: you could try amarok or exaile or something...
[06:04] <linuxboy> how does my ubuntu know if it must get i386 or amd64 packages ?
[06:04] <SogniX> anyone know what speed in MBs I should be getting between two Gigabit capable computers over a Gigabit switch?
[06:04] <cowmilk> i'm getting the best parts from 2 computers and making just one computer. does it matter what order I have the hard drives?
[06:04] <synic> TokenBad: or use the xine engine in amarok like TheGateKeeper said
[06:04] <cowmilk> when i put 2 hard drives into one computer, do i have to instal Ubuntu on both?
[06:04] <h3h_timo> i have a hda intel sound card in my laptop, last time i was running ubuntu, the sound was working fine, now, i started playing a song, and about 30 seconds in, the sound just shut off, any suggestions?
[06:04] <synic> cowmilk: no
[06:04] <cowmilk> synic: no to which question?\
[06:05] <ag0ny> is there a way i can change the color of the clock applet font? or the color of the font for the toolbars in general?
[06:05] <Strykyr> ok
[06:05] <Strykyr> nic isnt talking
[06:05] <Strykyr> I'll Be Back In A Bit
[06:05] <synic> cowmilk: to both.
[06:05] <jrib> ag0ny: you can use a different theme
[06:05] <jrib> !theme > ag0ny
[06:06] <SogniX> my gigabit network is really crawling, and I've no idea why... anyone know what I could look at to resolve the problem (or at least squeze some more speed out of it)?
[06:06] <maxkelley> anyone know how to get OTF fonts working in ubuntu?
[06:06] <ag0ny> jrib: what does the theme change to change to color of the fonts?
[06:07] <ag0ny> jrib: this should be in some files or something
[06:07] <keb> it seems no one knows here anything.. i'm tryin since some hours to reinstall my grub
[06:07] <synic> keb: that's not a good way to ask for help.
[06:07] <maxkelley> keb: there's a billion people asking questions and a handful to answer them.
[06:07] <keb> i know... but if i asked for help, i didnot got any
[06:07] <keb> i know this too
[06:08] <jrib> ag0ny: yes, when you install a theme, it gets put in ~/.themes.  Just browse the contents of one and see if you can find it.  There is a tutorial on art.gnome.org, I don't know the file name offhand
[06:08] <mcphail> keb: stefg was helpig you earlier
[06:08] <keb> i got every time: read the how-to
[06:08] <maxkelley> keb: I just asked a question about OTF fonts. chances are, I won't get an answer.
[06:08] <keb> he couldnot help
[06:08] <ag0ny> keb: did you try google with this really common question? i could find an answer in my language in less then 10 seconds :)
[06:08] <MaDSeN> how do i change terminal charset to iso-8859-15?
[06:08] <keb> yah, i tryed
[06:09] <jrib> how can I get the contents of the X clipboard?  'xsel' doesn't seem to work (outputs nothing even though middle click pastes something)
[06:09] <`JB> What is Ubuntu solution to Secure File Deletion?
[06:09] <arha> hello
[06:09] <synic> `JB: shred
[06:10] <`JB> thanx
[06:10] <h3h_timo> !kernel
[06:10] <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
[06:10] <mcphail> keb: Perhaps being more specific would help. Just saying "it doesn't work" isn't very useful for people who can't see your machine
[06:10] <synic> maxkelley: wtf are OFT fonts?
[06:10] <keb> i wrote the error messages too
[06:10] <arha> does anyone know how to tell ubuntu to use some specific resolution as default resolution instead of always booting into 1024x768, regardless what i told it last time ?
[06:11] <synic> maxkelley, keb - you both need to read this: http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
[06:11] <synic> before you start insulting people who could possibly help you
[06:11] <marioch> does any one have cursor corruption when xinerama is enable on ubuntu 6.06?, I have an ATI radeon 9600 with latest ATI drivers, and my cursor gets corrupted once that I move my mouse to my second screen.
[06:11] <mcphail> keb: /lastlog keb does not have any error messages
[06:11] <keb> i have enough from small questions, i've read hundreds of them today
[06:12] <synic> keb: repeat your question.  I didn't see it, so I can't really answer it.
[06:12] <synic> your grub apparently doesn't work
[06:12] <pedda> I've just installed Ubuntu server 6.06 dapper and I can not use Swedish characters. If I serve a HTML page with Swedish characters they show up as "?". I've tried switching locale to sv_SE.ISO-8859 but no luck. Is something wrong with the character set?
[06:13] <keb> my grub was installed to hda1, which is an ntfs, my xubuntu is on hda5, which is extended
[06:13] <MaDSeN> pedda: I have same problem.. just with danish charset
[06:13] <keb> my mobile rack made my hda1 wrong, i could recover it, but grub still doesnot work
[06:13] <alex_dinamo> Hello there, people!

[06:14] <scrilla-> yo
[06:14] <synic> keb: ok... are you at the grub> prompt?
[06:14] <keb> but it has no rescue options at the booting

[06:14] <scrilla-> like
[06:14] <homerh_linux> hiya ppl btw
[06:14] <ag0ny> MaDSeN, pedda: did you install the locales for firefox?
[06:14] <scrilla-> i have to do export http_proxy=etc from bash
[06:14] <synic> keb: sudo grub
[06:14] <alex_dinamo> I want to try Ubuntu, currently I'm a Gentoo user
[06:14] <scrilla-> every time i want to update something, because we are behind a proxy
[06:14] <alex_dinamo> could someone answer some questions for me?
[06:14] <scrilla-> how do i set my proxy manually on my system
[06:14] <arha> excuse me, does anyone know how to tell ubuntu to use some specific resolution as default resolution instead of always booting into 1024x768, regardless what i told it last time ?
[06:14] <keb> ok, i'm in grub prompt
[06:15] <synic> keb: type root (hd0,4)
[06:15] <MaDSeN> ag0ny: its in terminal I don't get the right charset... have changed locales
[06:15] <synic> keb: then setup (hd0)
[06:15] <mcphail> homerh_linux: don't know about that, but nxclient works well
[06:15] <alex_dinamo> Do someone here yse Ubuntu on an Amd64
[06:15] <mcphail> alex_dinamo: used to
[06:15] <keb> (hd0,4) is = with my hda4?
[06:15] <pedda> ag0ny : For Firefox?
[06:15] <synic> no, that's hda5
[06:16] <alex_dinamo> mcphail, not any more, why?
[06:16] <lukaswayne9> how can I insatll a package from a certain repo?
[06:16] <mcphail> alex_dinamo: too much hassle for the modest performance gain
[06:16] <ag0ny> pedda: yes, there are specific locale packages for firefox
[06:16] <pedda> ag0ny : I've installed localeconf and tried different locales but no luck.
[06:16] <alex_dinamo> Imcphail, Ok, so you moved to the standard x86 build, right?
[06:16] <ag0ny> MaDSeN: what does "echo $LANGUAGE" give as answer?
[06:16] <mcphail> alex_dinamo: yes
[06:16] <Whoopie> Hi, just updated all my packages and tried suspend and hibernate from the gdm login screen. suspend works, but when trying hibernate, it tells me something about "legitimation failed". Any ideas?
[06:16] <homerh_linux> thanks mcphail will google
[06:17] <pedda> MaDSeN : Any luck in solving the problem, any hints?
[06:17] <alex_dinamo> mcphail: What kind of hassle did you find?
[06:17] <keb> synic, u're great
[06:17] <keb> i hope it works
[06:17] <synic> good luck
[06:17] <keb> thx
[06:17] <MaDSeN> pedda: I cant figure it out
[06:17] <ag0ny> pedda: open synaptic, search for firefox and install the locale for your language
[06:17] <synic> brb, gotta run to the bank
[06:17] <pedda> ag0ny : Why would I need a specific character set for Firefox?
[06:17] <MaDSeN> ag0ny: gives me da_DK:da:en_GB:en
[06:17] <ben_> hey guys
[06:17] <ben_> woops
[06:17] <mcphail> alex_dinamo: running a chroot for binary apps is easy enough, but they cause problems trying to run in fullscreen etc. In the end I accidently borked my install, and couldn't be bothered setting it all up again
[06:18] <cowmilk> synic: thanks. so if I'm going to do a fresh install of Ubuntu (actually Xubunu), how do i ansewer the questions regarding Partitioning of drive(s)?
[06:18] <pedda> ag0ny : It would be best if Apache could server pages with the correct characters, right?!
[06:18] <linuxd00d> does anyone have any idea about installing .BIN files
[06:18] <alex_dinamo> mcphail: And you find small the performance difference?
[06:18] <ag0ny> MaDSeN: seems correct...sorry, then i dont know :(
[06:18] <mcphail> alex_dinamo: yes, but it is noticeable
[06:19] <cowmilk> If I have 2 hard drives, and I'm going to do an install of Ubuntu, will the installer not want to partition both hard drives?
[06:19] <TheGateKeeper> linuxd00d: make them executable then run them
[06:19] <MaDSeN> ag0ny: well thnx for taking the time
[06:19] <linuxd00d> how would i do that ,thegatekeeper
[06:19] <mcphail> cowmilk: you can partition however you see fit
[06:19] <alex_dinamo> mcphail: I'm currently using Gentoo Amd64 and I'm kinda getting tired of not finding some packages, windows codecs, for instance...
[06:19] <alex_dinamo> mcphail: Some java problems, etc.
[06:19] <linuxd00d> should i cahnge the extension to .exe or .sh?
[06:19] <MaDSeN> anyone else know how to to get ubuntu to show danish charset correctly? :)
[06:20] <alex_dinamo> mcphail: So I'm maybe willing to pay the price since I will later move to an X2 processor
[06:20] <pedda> MaDSen : ag0ny : It's not a client issue, it's a server issue. It doesn't use the correct characters.
[06:20] <cowmilk> mcphail: but that's the thing. I don't know what is fit
[06:20] <mcphail> alex_dinamo: yes. Same problems wherever you go. Such is closed-source life!
[06:20] <cowmilk> mcphail: if you could , please advise
[06:20] <ag0ny> pedda: ah, that something diffrent then and i understood your problem wrong :)
[06:20] <alex_dinamo> mcphail: Yes, but you can find those codecs for x86 Linux!
[06:20] <mcphail> cowmilk: do you want ubuntu to have access to both disks?
[06:20] <sethk> linuxd00d, file extensions have no significance in unix
[06:20] <pedda> MadSen: Do you get these errors? locale -a
[06:20] <pedda> locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
[06:20] <pedda> locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
[06:20] <TheGateKeeper> sudo chmod +x nameofyourfile.bin then ./nameofyourfile.bin to execute it
[06:20] <pedda> locale: Cannot set LC_COLLATE to default locale: No such file or directory
[06:20] <cowmilk> mcphail: yes
[06:21] <sethk> any file can be executable.  chmod +x filename    is the command to make filename executable
[06:21] <mcphail> alex_dinamo: finding codecs for XP64 is tough as well
[06:21] <linuxd00d> oh yeah
[06:21] <mcphail> cowmilk: do you have anything you want to keep on either disk?
[06:21] <linuxd00d> learnt that already
[06:21] <cowmilk> mcphail: are you implying that some people don't want ubuntu to have access to both disks?
[06:21] <linuxd00d> cheers
[06:21] <alex_dinamo> mcphail: for Windows 64, really? Didn't know that
[06:21] <cowmilk> mcphail: nope
[06:21] <TitusRevised> *HELP*
[06:22] <cowmilk> mcphail: I'd like to get rid of all stuff, including the windows 98 os
[06:22] <mcphail> alex_dinamo: ubuntu/gentoo64 are far slicker than windows
[06:22] <sethk> alex_dinamo, I agree; I suspect your issue is more 64 bit availability than distro related.  I am quite satisfied with my 64 bit ubuntu boxes.
[06:22] <TitusRevised> How do I install Ubuntu Linux without erasing Windows and everything on my hard drive?
[06:22] <cowmilk> mcphail: actualcly, one hard drive has already been wiped clean with a fresh install of Xubuntu
[06:22] <sethk> cowmilk, if you want the install to use all available space and erase everything currently there, it has an option for that.
[06:22] <alex_dinamo> mcphail, sethk: well, Gentoo has its wooes... Sometimes I feel it's very demanding
[06:22] <mcphail> cowmilk: ask the installer to take over the whole disk. if it diesn't also wipe the 2nd disk, I can guide you through that later
[06:23] <TheGateKeeper> TitusRevised: dualboot
[06:23] <arha> noone here who knows how to tell ubuntu to use some specific default screen resolution instead of always booting into 1024x768?
[06:23] <TitusRevised> dualboot?
[06:23] <cowmilk> sethk: nice to hsee you again. Do you mean in "guided partitioning"?
[06:23] <cowmilk> mcphail: no you can't
[06:23] <MaDSeN> TitusRevised: make a free unformated partition on your win disk.. boot ubuntu an install on that
[06:23] <alex_dinamo> mcphail, sethk: VEry geek oriented, feels nice to be that geek for some time, but you can get tired and just want tit to work, if you know what I mean
[06:23] <cowmilk> mcphail: becaues i won't be having any more hard drives for which to chat with you.
[06:23] <sethk> alex_dinamo, I won't allow gentoo to be used on any of my projects.  I'm certainly not pushing it.  However, as far as codecs, I don't think it is gentoo's fault.
[06:23] <TitusRevised> Ok thanks
[06:23] <TheGateKeeper> TitusRevised: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6104490811311898236
[06:23] <cowmilk> mcphail: or am i mistaken?
[06:24] <d0sbeen> sethk: funny thing- after i ran fc-cache, restarted X- the fonts I am trying to work with isnt showing up on openoffice writer.
[06:24] <mcphail> cowmilk: i really don't understand what you are asking
[06:24] <d0sbeen> but it works on gimp.
[06:24] <alex_dinamo> sethk; you're right, I think I mixed two concerns on the same chat :D
[06:24] <cowmilk> once, i put 2 hard drives into one computer, i can't chat with you unless the install is suceesful
[06:24] <shurik> hi, i'd like to forward email from my box. does anyone know a good howto for ubuntu 6.06? thanks!
[06:24] <cowmilk> mcphail: i've got these 2 old win98 PCs.
[06:24] <sethk> d0sbeen, you should have to update the font cache manually.  you'll find the font path printed out in the X log.  check and make sure it is using the path you intended.
[06:25] <iNToIT> hello
[06:25] <cowmilk> mcphail: i want to combine both hard drives into one comptuer. and convert that computer into ubuntu.
[06:25] <Badm4n> how to show ubuntu version on console ?
[06:25] <cowmilk> does this make sense?
[06:25] <iNToIT> I'll think about it
[06:25] <mcphail> cowmilk: aah, I see! Don't worry - once you have a running ubuntu system (even if it is just using one disk) we can set up the 2nd disk no problem! :)
[06:25] <cowmilk> ok
[06:25] <sethk> cowmilk, just install both drives, then during the install, say use all space.  it's very simple.
[06:25] <mcphail> cowmilk: just use the default installation
[06:25] <cowmilk> sethk: the installer will know that i have 2 hard drives together?
[06:26] <mcphail> cowmilk: don't worry about partitioning manually at present
[06:26] <sethk> cowmilk, sure.
[06:26] <wubrgamer> hey i wAS wondering how to install windows via a vmx machine ?
[06:26] <mcphail> wubrgamer: wrong channel
[06:26] <cowmilk> ok. so if my hardware hacking is successful, i shoudl end up with a 256 mb box, 500 mhZ . is this not good enought for Ubuntu?
[06:26] <Badm4n> how to show ubuntu version on console ?
[06:26] <cowmilk> Should i go down to Xubuntu?
[06:27] <mcphail> cowmilk: if ubuntu runs slow, you should be able to change to xubuntu
[06:27] <alex_dinamo> Please, I don't mean to start a flamewar, but what is currently better on Ubuntu: gnome or KDE?
[06:27] <TheGateKeeper> cowmilk: I have a testbox which is a P3 128Mb RAM running KDE & XFce
[06:27] <cowmilk> if i have xubuntu, can i use all the programs i have used in Ubuntu?
[06:27] <mcphail> alex_dinamo: whatever you prefer
[06:27] <TheGateKeeper> yes
[06:27] <cowmilk> p3 what?
[06:27] <cabuloso> anyone know how can i install skins on gaim ?
[06:28] <mcphail> cowmilk: yes, but the xubuntu desktop has fewer features
[06:28] <arha> hello?
[06:28] <cowmilk> TheGateKeeper: how many mHz?
[06:28] <alex_dinamo> mcphail: ok
[06:28] <cowmilk> mcphail: aside from no Garbage Can, what other features are lacking in xubuntu?
[06:28] <TheGateKeeper> cowmilk: not sure but slower than yours I think
[06:28] <cowmilk> TheGateKeeper: and how is your box when you're running kubuntu?
[06:29] <mcphail> alex_dinamo: cowmilk the list is long. GNOME is a complex (and slightly bloated) environment
[06:29] <mcphail> alex_dinamo: sorry, that last one wasn't for you!
[06:29] <alex_dinamo> mcphail: ok, I see... you find KDE more streamlined?
[06:29] <cowmilk> if i use gnome programs on xubuntu, will my xubuntu slow down to Ubuntu  speed?
[06:29] <TheGateKeeper> cowmilk: fine, synaptic is a rather slow when doing a search, but it's useable, and what I used until I eventually but dapper on this box
[06:30] <mcphail> alex_dinamo: no, gnome is my favourite. I don't mind bloat
[06:30] <alex_dinamo> mcphail: ok
[06:30] <cowmilk> for examples of Gnome programs: rythimbox
[06:30] <mcphail> cowmilk: no
[06:30] <arha> excuse me?
[06:31] <Strykyr> Sudo dhclient eth0: three no such device
[06:31] <cowmilk> mcphail: sethk. um. i shoudl tell you that one hard drive already has a fresh install of xubunu
[06:31] <alex_dinamo> Slightly off-topic, but I will want to use a linksys USB WiFi module to connecto to my AP with Ubuntu... Do you think I will have any luck?
[06:31] <mcphail> cowmilk: does it work?
[06:32] <cowmilk> when i combine the other hard drive, is it necessary to do a fresh install of xubuntu on the 2hard-drives-in one-pc computer?
[06:32] <cabuloso> i have some skins for gaim but i don't know how to install, anyone can help me ?
[06:32] <mcphail> cowmilk: no
[06:32] <cowmilk> mcphail: yes, it works nicely
[06:32] <mcphail> cowmilk: the 2nd hard drive is easy to add
[06:32] <dinamizador> hola
[06:32] <cowmilk> mcphail: the hard drive with the fresh install of xubuntu is 6 gb. the other hard drive is 12 gb. deos it matter which one is the "main" drive?
[06:33] <cowmilk> for some reason, i'm thinking that it's best to have 12 gb drive as my "main" hard drive.
[06:33] <cowmilk> what do you guys think
[06:33] <mcphail> cowmilk: not really. Are you just pallning to use the 12 gigs for storage?
[06:33] <cowmilk> won't the drive with the Xubuntu OS be the one where most activities happen?
[06:33] <mcphail> *planning
[06:33] <cowmilk> mcphail: well what else can a hard drive be used for?
[06:33] <sethk> cowmilk, it makes no difference, really.
[06:34] <burepe> I am setting up apache and the faq I am usinig says "You may want your current user to be the PHP pages administrator. To do so, edit the Apache configuration file :
[06:34] <burepe> $ gksudo "gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf"
[06:34] <burepe> Search both the strings starting by "User" and "Group", and change the names by the current username and groupname you are using. Then you'll need to restart Apache. (look at the next chapter concerning apache commands) " but after I did that I got the error "Syntax error on line 101 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf:
[06:34] <burepe> Invalid command 'burepe', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration"
[06:34] <cowmilk> mcphail: that question was not asked rhetorocialy.
[06:34] <cowmilk> 8-)
[06:34] <mcphail> cowmilk: if you are installing a lot of things from synaptic, they will be added to your original disk because /usr/bin/ lives there
[06:34] <cowmilk> sethk: but what if my xubuntu becomes larger than my 6 gb drive? won't it slow down if Xubuntu is spread to 2 drives?
[06:35] <cowmilk> mcphail: that's what i mean
[06:35] <arha> ...
[06:35] <cowmilk> mcphail: i don't know how much things i'll be installing from synaptic (oh by the way, i'm going to be using Xubuntu. There's no synaptic in Xubuntu, is there?)}
[06:36] <mcphail> cowmilk: there are ways around this if you start to run out of space.
[06:36] <Strykyr> Sudo dhclient eth0: three no such device
[06:36] <cowmilk> mcphail: butt those ways means 'slowing down"?
[06:36] <cowmilk> a slow down?
[06:36] <mcphail> cowmilk: no, why would it?
[06:36] <TheGateKeeper> cowmilk: you can use synaptic in xfce if you want to
[06:37] <nekostar> W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/t/totem/totem-xine_1.4.3-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
[06:37] <nekostar>   404 Not Found [IP: 146.137.96.7 80] 
[06:37] <nekostar> ~_~
[06:37] <mcphail> cowmilk: if you have your apps and data spread across 2 disks, things should run _faster_
[06:37] <nekostar> wtf is wrong with the repositories
[06:37] <cowmilk> mcphail: well, i guess it won't slow down.  i was thinking that the secondary drive would be a bit slower to access.... like a floppy drive
[06:37] <cowmilk> mcphail: faster? wow. cool. never knew that.
[06:38] <cowmilk> ok. let me just confirm with a crazy question: if you had a 2 gig hard drive and a 1,000 gig hard drive, which would you make as your main?
[06:38] <MoNkUnClE> i am having issues with my repositories and synaptic
[06:38] <MoNkUnClE> it tells me i have duplicate entries
[06:38] <MoNkUnClE> but i didn't add anything
[06:39] <TheGateKeeper> he is itching to have the 12gb hd as the main one :-)
[06:39] <mcphail> cowmilk: let's put it this way: 2 gig is too small to hold /bin /usr /etc /home all in one on a modern system
[06:39] <cowmilk> TheGateKeeper: nope. just confirming
[06:39] <amee2k> hi all
[06:39] <mcphail> cowmilk: but with disks of your size, I wouldn't worry about the finer points of partitioning
[06:39] <cowmilk> mcphail: ok. change that. say you have a 3 gig and a 1,000,000 gig hard dirve...
[06:40] <h3h_timo> could someone help me install a 686 kernel??? ive heard that it makes ubuntu run faster with a centrino duo processor
[06:40] <nekostar> MoNkUnClE, i think the repositories are borked
[06:40] <nekostar> yet again ~_~
[06:40] <mcphail> cowmilk: i'd use LVM
[06:40] <MoNkUnClE> it was fine for a while but now i dloaded an update and it's back again
[06:40] <mcphail> cowmilk: ;p
[06:40] <cowmilk> mcphail: let's not talk about lvm.
[06:40] <cowmilk> 8-)
[06:41] <cowmilk> mcphail: pardon my crazy questions. i just want to start off on the right foot
[06:41] <Strykyr> Sudo dhclient eth0: three no such devices
[06:41] <mcphail> cowmilk: with that setup, i'd have /boot /etc and /var on the 3 gig drive and everything else on the 10000000000gig
[06:41] <nekostar> and something bad happened with the last update of the sh interperator
[06:41] <nekostar> ~_~
[06:42] <cowmilk> so with my set up... you'd have boot/etc and varr on 6 gig and everything else on  12 gig?
[06:42] <arha> so does anybody here know something about default screen resolutions under ubuntu?
[06:42] <h3h_timo> could someone please explain the difference between the 686 and 386 kernels???
[06:42] <mcphail> cowmilk: no. You'd be wasting your time fretting about this on drives of that capacity
[06:42] <cowmilk> mcphail: ok.
[06:42] <cowmilk> so let's not wastte time
[06:42] <cowmilk> what shoudl i do now?
[06:43] <cowmilk> the 6gig drive has  a reesh install of xubuntu
[06:43] <arha> no?
[06:43] <cowmilk> the 12 gig still has win98
[06:43] <n3rdism> Hello, everyone. I just connected my new 20.1" widescreen LCD monitor. And when i try to change the resolution to widescreen, there are only a few choices. None of which are widescreen. I have my nvidia drivers working but maybe this is an issue. Can anyone help?
[06:43] <arha> then please say so..
[06:43] <mcphail> cowmilk: you want to use your 12gig drive to store your movies, mp3s etc?
[06:43] <cowmilk> mcphail: that's what i don't know
[06:43] <cowmilk> i've never had 2 drives in one computer in my life before
[06:43] <arha> n3rdism: maybe you need to add the resolutions you want to your Xorg configuration?
[06:43] <amee2k> i just installed vmware server on ubuntu following the descrtbtion at help.ubuntu.com. in addition to the required packages mentioned on the web site i also had to install the following packages to get the vmware-configure.pl script working: libX11 libx11-6 libxtst6 libxt6 libxrender1  -  Q: what should i do about this issue?
[06:43] <cowmilk> so i don't know what to do
[06:43] <mcphail> cowmilk: then just leave the drive for now until you know what you want to do with it.
[06:44] <arisa_> ey
[06:44] <arisa_>  ke
[06:44] <arisa_> mas
[06:44] <burepe> Can someone look at this page and help me with the "Edit Apache Configuration"?
[06:44] <arisa_> miren yo soy nuevo en esto de linux
[06:44] <cowmilk> mcphail: so you mean i shoudl just use one 6 gig drive for now?
[06:44] <arisa_> y ubuntu
[06:44] <cowmilk> what if i decide that i want to use the 12 gig drive?
[06:44] <cowmilk> ... laterr on.
[06:44] <arisa_> por favor podran ensearme a manejar este sistema operativo
[06:44] <d0sbeen> Hi, i am getting 'cant read superblock' error on one of my backup partitions in vfat32
[06:44] <cowmilk>  will it be easy to move things around?
[06:44] <linuxd00d> arisa_ !esp
[06:44] <d0sbeen> does this mean recovery is impossible?
[06:44] <mcphail> cowmilk: if you have no reason to use the 12gig drive, why bother just now? You can pull it into action later when you have a use for it
[06:45] <burepe> !spanish
[06:45] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[06:45] <linuxd00d> !ESP
[06:45] <ubotu> I know nothing about ESP - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[06:45] <cowmilk> mcphail: willl it be easy to pull into action?
[06:45] <arha> n3rdism: maybe you didnt yet configure your xserver apropriately for your new nvidia driver. do that either with ,,sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'' in a terminal window, or with ,,sudo xorgcfg'' or so. first option recommended..
[06:45] <mcphail> cowmilk: yes, very easy
[06:45] <cowmilk> and easy to move stuff from the 6 gb to the 12 gb?
[06:45] <n3rdism> arha: thanks dood :)
[06:45] <mcphail> cowmilk: yes
[06:45] <amee2k> o.O
[06:45] <cowmilk> ok
[06:45] <arha> n3rdism: dood?
[06:46] <bck> I get an error updating my system from breezy to dapper with update-manager. The following Error spawns when the update-manager wants to install coreutils_5.93-5ubuntu4_i386.deb: dpkg-divert: rename involves overwriting `/usr/share/man/man1/md5sum.textutils.1.gz' with

[06:46] <n3rdism> arha: sry lol habbit. thanks tho
[06:46] <h3h_timo> !kernel
[06:46] <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
[06:46] <arha> n3rdism: you're welcome.
[06:46] <cowmilk> mcphail: ok. thank you for you time. you too sethk. i gotta do some more hardware tweaking
[06:46] <cowmilk> bfe for now
[06:46] <arha> so...... Does anybode here know how to tell ubuntu what of the usable screen resolutions should be used as default ?
[06:47] <erUSUL> !fixres > arha
[06:47] <burepe> arha you have to edit the xconfiguration file
[06:47] <amee2k> anything?
[06:47] <linuxd00d> system-preferences-screen resolution arha
[06:47] <burepe> arha I have not done it though
[06:47] <UJ> hey
[06:47] <linuxd00d> hi
[06:47] <arha> linuxd00d: that's what i did
[06:48] <linuxd00d> has it not saved arha
[06:48] <arha> it always switches back to 1024x768 on a new boot
[06:48] <UJ> i'm trying to install kubuntu 6.06 from the livecd and while manually partitioning the disk i do not see the option to choose reiserfs
[06:48] <mcphail> arha: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:48] <d0sbeen> I'd like to repeat myself,
[06:48] <arha> i have clicked "Use as default" in system-preferences-screen, and also Save session when logging out
[06:48] <d0sbeen> i am getting 'cant read superblock' error on one of my backup partitions in vfat32
[06:48] <UJ> any clue what might be wrong?
[06:48] <arha> mcphail: already did that.
[06:48] <d0sbeen> does this mean recovery is impossible?
[06:48] <arha> burepe: where in the xorg.conf do i set the *default* resolution?
[06:48] <linuxd00d> urgh might be a bug
[06:49] <amee2k> well, nothing then...
[06:49] <keb> re
[06:49] <erUSUL> UJ: ithink that you will have to use alternate cd to be able to choose reiserfs
[06:49] <erUSUL> arha: have you checked the msg from ubotu?
[06:50] <UJ> erUSUL - what alternate cd are you talking about? i do see reiserfs utilities on the cd i have
[06:50] <erUSUL> !alternate
[06:50] <ubotu> The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-installation CD, with no live session. Use this if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an expert install.
[06:50] <arha> erUSUL: yes.
[06:50] <arha> erUSUL: and all of that didnt work
[06:51] <arha> erUSUL: i can set 1280x1024 resolution just fine. but i have to do it each time after i rebooted.
[06:51] <UJ> erUSUL: thanks
[06:51] <arha> 1280x1024 is first entry in Modes lines for all Depths,
[06:51] <arha> and i could set the monitor specs with dpkg-reconfigure as well, but still it didnt work
[06:52] <jrib> inside\n
[06:52] <TitusRevised> *HELP* I don't have a CD burner. How can I make a new partition to install Linux on?
[06:53] <arha> erUSUL: do you have any other ideas?
[06:53] <nikin> hy
[06:53] <LuisMendes> which command is equivalent to XP's 'ipconfig/renew'?
[06:53] <dapet_> How do you tjek what interface my USB wireless adapter is usin?
[06:53] <erUSUL> arha: sorry no :(
[06:54] <arha> hmpf..
[06:54] <erUSUL> LuisMendes: ifconfig or dhclient
[06:54] <nikin> Luis mendes "ifconfig down" and after "ifconfig up" should do the job
[06:54] <longwave> LuisMendes: "sudo ifdown eth0" then "sudo ifup eth0" where eth0 is your interface
[06:55] <sobersabre> hi, How can I setup apt so that if package is on the CD, it will use the CD, and if it isn't - it shall go for the repository
[06:55] <LuisMendes> http://www.guiadohardware.net/comunidade/liberar-ip/92356/
[06:55] <arha> does anyone else have any ideas where to set the *default* screen resolution?
[06:55] <sobersabre> I mean the preference between the source.
[06:56] <mcphail> arha: using the "medium" or "advanced" setting for monitors for dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg not helping?
[06:56] <jrib> sobersabre: list the cd first in your sources.list
[06:56] <arha> mcphail: that's what i used
[06:56] <arha> i dont think you can set the exact horiz/vert sync rates in medium setting, can you?
[06:56] <sobersabre> jrib good.. :)
[06:57] <mcphail> arha: no, just advanced
[06:58] <arha> mcphail: that still didnt help with setting the default resolution, though...
[06:58] <nikin> can someone tell where to set a users defoult chmod atributes on filecreation?
[06:59] <nikin> arha: what do you mean with default res:
[06:59] <nikin> ?
[06:59] <sobersabre> jrib, it is idea, but if same package exist in both sources, and the http one is newer, I want the CDROM version.
[06:59] <sobersabre> your idea doesn't cover this.
[06:59] <dapet_> How do you tjek what interface my USB wireless adapter is usin?
[06:59] <synic> dapet_: iwconfig
[06:59] <dapet_> Thanks :D
[07:00] <arha> nikin: the screen resolution which is set on boot-up, i.e. after starting the computer, without changing it manually
[07:00] <nikin> if you change it once, it will stay... not?
[07:00] <mcphail> arha: the reslution thing on the wiki suggests that GNOME can mess with the resolution settings. Is gdm at the correct resolution?
[07:01] <jrib> sobersabre: you're right, you may be able to do something with "apt_preferences", read 'man apt_preferences'
[07:01] <arha> nikin: if i change it manually, it doesnt stay till next reboot
[07:01] <arha> mcphail: erm, gdm?
[07:01] <dapet_> Can someone explain me what my interface to the wireless usb adapter is? http://pastebin.ca/112033 I cant se it (i am a noob)
[07:01] <Phoul> Hello
[07:01] <nikin> hmm
[07:01] <Phoul> How do i configure cups?
[07:02] <mcphail> arha: the login screen
[07:02] <linuxboy> how does ubuntu know to install i386 packages and not amd64 ?
[07:02] <erUSUL> dapet_: wlan0
[07:02] <dapet_> ohhhh... Thanks :D
[07:02] <arha> mcphail: but in the wiki it only says to edit xorg.conf, and my xorg.conf already has 1280x1024 as first mode for depth 24 (and defaultdepth 24 as well)
[07:02] <TheSheep> linuxboy: ubuntu installs i386 packages by default
[07:03] <erUSUL> dapet_: the others do not have "wireless extensions" ;)
[07:03] <mcphail> arha: yes, but when you login is it at 1280x1024 or lower?
[07:03] <linuxboy> TheSheep: how could I force it to install amd64 ?
[07:03] <brianNB> How do I enable "Shutdown" and "Reboot" from the "Log Out" button? I've just installed XGl and the XGl session doesn't have those 2 enabled, whereas the default Gnome session do.
[07:03] <TheSheep> linuxboy: just install it in synaptic
[07:03] <arha> mcphail: uhh.. i set it to log me in as default..
[07:03] <linuxboy> TheSheep: how?
[07:03] <TheSheep> linuxboy: linux-amd64 ro something like that
[07:04] <dapet_> erUSUL: He he... I see... I thught the interface were wich USB port they were in ;)
[07:04] <mcphail> arha: then try this...
[07:04] <mcphail> arha: (i don't know if this will work as I'm not using GUI at present)
[07:04] <linuxboy> TheSheep: thats the kernel
[07:04] <mcphail> arha: open gconf-editor
[07:04] <arha> oh
[07:04] <arha> i didnt think of that
[07:04] <arha> ok i think i got it ...
[07:05] <arha> oh and i can shut down esd too :D
[07:05] <mcphail> arha: :)
[07:05] <cdubya> any suggestions on fax software? I'm not finding a lot of stuff in searching the apt-cache
[07:05] <arha> still, it's somewhat odd you have to run gconf-editor and look around just to set the default resolution
[07:05] <TheSheep> linuxboy: yes, what did you mean then?
[07:05] <tanlaan> i forgot how to compile a C++ application, there .cc files
[07:06] <arha> there were two "screen" entries: <computername> and "default", and in the first it was the correct resolution, but not in default.. stupid.
[07:06] <mcphail> arha: yup. Worked automagically for me, though
[07:06] <tanlaan> nevermind
[07:06] <linuxboy> TheSheep: how does apt know to get i386 packages and not amd64 packages?
[07:06] <mjr> cdubya, hylafax was popular some years back, dunno if that's still the way to go
[07:06] <tanlaan> just figured out how
[07:06] <TheSheep> linuxboy: but I actually lied -- there is no linux-amd64, so I'm not competent :)
[07:06] <longwave> brianNB: because you are running two X servers (Xorg for the login screen and Xgl for your desktop), you can't put shutdown and reboot into the Xgl logout menu, you have to log out then shut down from the Options menu on the login screen
[07:06] <arha> ok thanks
[07:06] <arha> bye!
[07:06] <cdubya> tanlann, g++ -o executable source_file
[07:06] <mcphail> linuxboy: you can't install amd64 on i386
[07:06] <linuxboy> mcphail: I know
[07:06] <TheSheep> linuxboy: I'd guess they are in a different repository
[07:06] <linuxboy> TheSheep: no, they don't
[07:07] <cdubya> mjr, yeah, I saw that one.....
[07:07] <brianNB> longwave, okay, that's what I've been doing so far. Was hoping it was possible the other way, but oh well. Thanks :)
[07:07] <TheSheep> linuxboy: I can't see them in this repo
[07:07] <linuxboy> TheSheep: I can
[07:07] <cdubya> didn't know much about it.
[07:07] <linuxboy> TheSheep: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper/
[07:07] <mcphail> linuxboy: you can download them manually by browsing the repo.
[07:07] <linuxboy> mcphail: I don't want to. I want to know how apt knows
[07:08] <mcphail> linuxboy: each .deb has an architecture attribute
[07:08] <linuxboy> mcphail: how does apt know to fetch i386 packages ?
[07:08] <longwave> linuxboy: apt gets packages for its own platform, if apt is compiled on i386 it will get i386 packages
[07:08] <dapet_> I used this site http://pastebin.ca/112039 to se my wireless WPA network, I followed the instruktions on that page (i have Ubuntu 6.06) and in the end it says that if a comando (it is pretty long so you can se it by uorself) not give a specifik comando i were to ask for help in here, the outcome is here http://pastebin.ca/112039.... help
[07:09] <longwave> at least that's how i think it works
[07:09] <linuxboy> longwave: wrong
[07:09] <dapet_> ups i mean this site https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo
[07:09] <linuxboy> longwave: it is set at compile time though
[07:09] <dapet_> My wireless adapter is a netgear WG111v2
[07:10] <longwave> so what's wrong with what i said if it is set at compile time?
[07:10] <longwave> ok i guess you could compile apt for another platform
[07:10] <linuxboy> ja
[07:10] <longwave> but when apt-get with no parameters says i386 in the first line, i figured it must be compile time somehow :)
[07:10] <mcphail> linuxboy: dpkg --print-architecture will tell you what the setting is, but I don't know _where_ it is set
[07:10] <dapet_> he he der er en dansker ;)
[07:10] <linuxboy> mcphail: compile time
[07:10] <mDot> anyon else unable to update this morning? I;m getting a 404 error with libtotem and the like
[07:11] <MaDSeN> crap ubuntu... arghhhhhhhhhh :)
[07:11] <MaDSeN> sorry
[07:11] <alex_dinamo> Hi there again!
[07:12] <alex_dinamo> One question about the distribution media for Ubuntu: what's the deal for the DVDs? Do they just contain more stuff, packages,  or what??
[07:12] <sobersabre> jrib, you don't think I've come here before doing the homework ?
[07:12] <gdb> mDot: libtotem-plparser1, totem-gstreamer, and totem -- from us.archive.ubuntu.com -- I assume the mirror is slow updating.  You might try another in /etc/apt/sources.list if you like.
[07:12] <longwave> alex_dinamo: the dvds just have more packages, saving you having to download as much if you want any extras
[07:13] <jrib> sobersabre: huh?
[07:13] <alex_dinamo> logwave: I see..
[07:13] <mDot> thanks gdb
[07:13] <alex_dinamo> thanks a lot!
[07:13] <mikearthur> I've built my own linux-image, how would I build my own linux-restricted-modules?
[07:13] <gdb> mDot: None of the updates appear partcularly pressing for the time being, so I'm just waiting for the mirror to get the packages myself. :-)
[07:14] <mDot> gdb: ill be doing the same
[07:14] <flodine> can someone tell why nautilus keeps closing is there a bug

[07:16] <flodine> well it seem nautilus has a bug close down every now and then wanting to restart
[07:17] <erUSUL> dapet_: you misstyped the command -iwlan0 no -wlan0
[07:18] <flodine> ok ubuntu kernel bad
[07:18] <flodine> old
[07:19] <ardchoille> flodine: Have you done: sudo apt-get upgrade  ?
[07:19] <flodine> ardchoill yes
[07:20] <nikin> whats the problem with the kernel?
[07:20] <Ademan> canonical isn't publicly traded is it?
[07:21] <ardchoille> flodine: What's the output of  uname -r
[07:21] <mohkohn> hello
[07:21] <longwave> Ademan: no, the "ltd" in "canonical ltd" means it is a private company, it would be "plc" if it were public
[07:22] <dapet_> flodline: Help with what?
[07:22] <mohkohn> I managed to get a working xen kernel going but I can't get it to connect to the network
[07:22] <flodine> ardchoill 2.6.15-26-686
[07:22] <Ademan> ah, thanks, i'm... uh... new lol
[07:22] <dapet_> Is it always this quite? or am i logged of?
[07:22] <svartrev> greetz ?
[07:22] <ardchoille> flodine: I believe that's the most current kernel Ubuntu distributes
[07:22] <flodine> ardchoill i want 686-smp kernel
[07:22] <Zambezi> I tried to connect with lftp to a FTP with Implicit SSL, but I get this errormesages: Unable to establish SSL connection (). What can be wrong?
[07:22] <mohkohn> I am back in my normal ubuntu. This network uses a static ip
[07:23] <mohkohn> I put all the same settings in the xen kernel as the ubuntu kernel...but no net.
[07:23] <svartrev> uh, anybody know offhand how to install uucp on dapper ?
[07:23] <longwave> Zambezi: try using the lftp debug command to get more error messages about why it could not connect
[07:23] <flodine> what do i typ to get kernel 686-smp
[07:23] <longwave> !info uucp
[07:23] <ubotu> uucp: Unix to Unix Copy Program. In repository universe, is extra. Version 1.07-17 (dapper), package size 759 kB, installed size 1808 kB

[07:24] <Zambezi> longwave, lftp -d ?
[07:24] <sysrpl> hello
[07:24] <Splix> Hi Guys..! Anyone know why my "suspend"/ "sleep" does'nt work on the newest kernel? It worked perfect on k25 :)
[07:24] <jnguy> Hello.
[07:24] <flodine> anyone
[07:24] <XiXaQ> is the files "test" and ".test" considered to be equal?
[07:24] <TheSheep> roe: beacause it's not necessarily needed on every server
[07:24] <longwave> Zambezi: yes i think that's it
[07:24] <jnguy> Anyone know how to get dpkg -l to list dates, or find out most recently installed packages?
[07:24] <dapet_> WOW my net are unstable... From my last messege nothing happend in one minut or so, then BANG there a lot.... 2 sec I do the command
[07:25] <sysrpl> can anyone point me to a working dowload of an ubuntu appliance image? all the torrents/downloads i have found are down (mysql torrent server error) or slow as hell
[07:25] <nikin> suspend does not work be me to :D i just realize it
[07:25] <Luc1> I would like install realplayer. When I use command apt-get install reaplayer.  error: depends on:xlibs but it is not installable. Where do I get xlibs?
[07:25] <svartrev> ? !info uucp ? what that mean ?
[07:25] <longwave> jnguy: /var/log/dpkg.log records what was installed and uninstalled and when
[07:25] <mohkohn> in the xen kernel when I run mii-tool it tells me I have no interface
[07:25] <mcphail> flodine: i'm not sure that they have a separate SMP kernel anymore. I think the default one "works"
[07:25] <roe> TheSheep: it's odd, that it assumes I will be using apache but not ssh
[07:25] <Splix> welcome nikin :)
[07:25] <sysrpl> ubuntu vmware apliance image that is
[07:25] <jnguy> longwave: Thanks!
[07:25] <svartrev> ta ubotu
[07:26] <svartrev> appreciations
[07:26] <mcphail> roe: an unconfigured sshd is more of a security risk than an unconfigured apache2
[07:26] <longwave> svartrev: the !info command tells ubotu to tell you about that package
[07:26] <mohkohn> But I can see it in the gnome network and ifconfig shows it also.
[07:26] <Kynetix> ehyl
[07:26] <TheSheep> roe: the point is it doesn't assume anything, 'server' is just the minimal working base, to which you add whatever you need
[07:26] <sysrpl> this torrent isn't working -> http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/484

[07:30] <move> hello. when I boot grub it tells me no OS found on my windows partition. I'm going to fix this but it's going to remove grub from being the boot loader, how do I fix this so grub boots and actually brings me to XP?
[07:30] <nikin> Splix: i dont know, works by me fine... what kernel are you using
[07:30] <nikin> !grub
[07:30] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto

[07:30] <move> thanks nikin
[07:31] <uk_tk> I'm using a conexant 4 port + USB ADSL modem/router and connect this laptop to the router via the USB under windows as there is no LAN port available. Under windows it works ok but under ubuntu live eval cd it mis-identifies the USB router as a conexant ADSL modem... which cannot even hope to work, any solutions anyone?

[07:32] <Splix> 2.6.15-26-386
[07:32] <nikin> i have the same
[07:32] <rubikcube> hello everyone!
[07:32] <Splix> hi
[07:33] <dv_> hi
[07:33] <rubikcube> anyone knows what I have to do to get LaTeX files like lshort.dvi to render?
[07:33] <Splix> hm.. know where i can find the config.file?
[07:33] <erUSUL> dapet_: use '-Dwext' it is generic
[07:33] <erUSUL> rubikcube: install xdvi
[07:34] <erUSUL> rubikcube: or run dvips to obtain a ps file
[07:34] <nikin> Kynetix: nope it worked by me
[07:34] <dapet_> Unsupported driver 'west'.
[07:34] <rubikcube> erUSUL: yes I know, I have that already, but xdvi complains about not being able to create bitmap fonts out of the font files
[07:34] <dv_> ubuntu uses utf-8 as default, right?
[07:35] <dapet_> erUSUL: There were a test on the how to, so I were able to tjek... And the outcome is in the pastabin
[07:35] <dapet_> http://pastebin.ca/112063
[07:35] <ttyfscker> why are half of the screensavers in 6.06 unlocateable ?
[07:36] <ttyfscker> half of them work fine.. the other half give me an output saying it cant be found in path
[07:36] <erUSUL> dapet_: use '-Dwext' it is generic (second time)
[07:37] <dapet_> wext... he he i wrote west sorry
[07:37] <longwave> ttyfscker: are they the GL screensavers? do you have xscreensaver-gl installed?
[07:38] <dapet_> erUSUL: There comes a bunch of "opperation not supported" but in this second it is still working on the comand
[07:38] <svartrev> cool, thanx all
[07:38] <svartrev> so long, everybody, and thanx for all the fish
[07:39] <mdirc> I have port forwarding working, and vncviewer on my xp is able to connect to ubuntu server when I am on the same lan. I think either gnome vino-vncserver or the iptables is blocking connections to WAN from X11. Am I thinking along the right lines, if so how do I fix the situation.
[07:39] <nekostar> ~_~
[07:39] <nekostar> wtf wtf wtf wtf
[07:39] <nekostar> i HATE the repositories today
[07:39] <nekostar> its like anything to do with totem is BORKED
[07:39] <nekostar> ~_~
[07:40] <mDot> nekostar: yup, just a little slow to update
[07:41] <Luc1> longwave: Thank you very much. I have realplayer.
[07:41] <nekostar> totem // totem-gstreamer // libtotem-plparser1 //
[07:41] <nekostar> they are all broken
[07:41] <ttyfscker> longwave:: some are gl, some others arent.
[07:41] <michaeljb2005> why is it, for example, amarok and ut2004 cannot play sounds at the same time?  I was told to disable esd because the kernel has alsa support installed by default, but yet they still cannot play sounds at the same time
[07:41] <nekostar> as in cant download from teh repositories mDot
[07:41] <nekostar> ~_~
[07:41] <Luc1> Is possible play files *.rm at other players without realplyer?
[07:41] <michaeljb2005> plus, because I disabled esd I no longer get system sounds
[07:41] <mDot> nekostar yup
[07:41] <nekostar> AND the repositories are slower than snails ~_~
[07:42] <nekostar> Luc1: yes
[07:42] <ttyfscker> longwave:: yes i do have xscreensaver-gl  installed btw
[07:42] <nekostar> mplayer is capable with the right codec set
[07:42] <nekostar> pain in the arse though
[07:42] <mcphail> michaeljb2005: i doubt that UT can use alsa
[07:42] <michaeljb2005> totem, once all codecs are installed, is a much better player than mplayer
[07:42] <Luc1> nekostar. What players can play .rm?
[07:42] <Luc1> *.rm?
[07:42] <michaeljb2005> then how can I get them both playing at the same time?
[07:42] <XVampireX> michaeljb2005, stop kidding me
[07:42] <nekostar> ..............................................
[07:43] <mcphail> michaeljb2005: if UT uses OSS, you could try using aoss
[07:43] <michaeljb2005> totem gets the ratio, by default on movies, correct much more often than mplayer
[07:43] <nekostar> omfg 13k from repository
[07:43] <nikin> lucl do you stil need the xlibs?
[07:43] <michaeljb2005> I don't know if it does, and if it does, how do I do that?
[07:43] <Splix> Can anyone give mi a good list of repositories? Mine keep on getting errors... It was maked my the automatrix generator or something like that
[07:43] <XVampireX> michaeljb2005, you are kidding me.
[07:43] <nekostar> im gonna fucking kill myself
[07:43] <espenleka> hi :) where should i start to look why my laptop's internal bluetooth dev isn't recognized at all??

[07:46] <maarvins1> hello everyone!
[07:46] <ProN00b> does that mean its using usb2 ? "usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3"
[07:46] <maarvins1> how to do clean samba install so ubuntu woudnt say selecting previously deselected package
[07:46] <espenleka> nobody knows?
[07:46] <cavediver> Hi. My gnome-cups-add is locking when adding printer...
[07:46] <maarvins1> :(
[07:46] <ardchoille> nub_: It's not possible with the current window list
[07:46] <michaeljb2005> will aoss help with sound problems in ut2004 as well?
[07:46] <nub_> ack, that sucks. is there some kind of update or mod that would allow me to do that?
[07:46] <Jared> what is the command to restart gnome?
[07:47] <nub_> jared: /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[07:47] <Jared> thankyou :)
[07:47] <mcphail> michaeljb2005: maybe. Try it and see
[07:47] <mcphail> michaeljb2005: i find sound issues the worst thing in linux
[07:48] <michaeljb2005> I'm already using the nonXgl hack, in order to use both commands do I have to do nonXgl|aoss ut2004
[07:49] <Phlexonance> what codec do I need to play .wmv?
[07:49] <mcphail> michaeljb2005: i know nothing about this. You're running xgl/compiz?
[07:49] <michaeljb2005> Phlexonance why not just use automatix and get them all?
[07:49] <michaeljb2005> yes, I'm running xgl/compiz
[07:49] <flodine> how can i see my bootup log info?
[07:49] <Phlexonance> michaeljb2005: what?
[07:49] <ardchoille> michaeljb2005: Please do not recommend automatix.
[07:50] <michaeljb2005> ardchoille: why not?
[07:50] <mcphail> michaeljb2005: i'd run UT2004 under standard x/metacity. if not, i suppose the command might be "aoss noxgl UT2004" or whatever
[07:50] <ardchoille> michaeljb2005: Because it has broken boxes and continues to do so.
[07:50] <michaeljb2005> what do you mean "broken boxes"?
[07:50] <nikin> anyone experience with CANON CCPD drivers for the LBP XXXX series?
[07:51] <Phlexonance> what codec do I need to play .wmv?
[07:51] <budluva> w32codecs i do believe
[07:51] <budluva> check wiki for RestrictedFormats
[07:51] <michaeljb2005> mcphail: I agree with you about metacity, however, the nonXgl hack works pretty well

[07:51] <michaeljb2005> ardchoille: what do you mean broken boxes
[07:52] <mcphail> michaeljb2005: problem is, using aoss on top of this is a hack on a hack!
[07:52] <ardchoille> michaeljb2005: Please drop the automatix talk, it's not recommended.
[07:52] <nikin> any hacking for Enemy Territory?
[07:53] <budluva> anyone here use conky? i'm trying to figure out how to get it to show on all my desktops, not just desk1, any clue?

[07:53] <cavediver> In the forums they say it's a bug with uim but I don't have that installed
[07:53] <brianNB> Where do I set the timeout for the Screensaver?

[07:54] <mcphail> Phlexonance: ;)
[07:55] <michaeljb2005> is this the wrong chat room for non-standard hacks like automatix, xgl/compiz and all that?
[07:55] <brianNB> nikin, thanks. I'm blind been staring there several times and apparently kept overseeing that it was a slider :p I was looking for an input field:)
[07:55] <mcphail> michaeljb2005: the regulars in here aren't keen on automatix. Xgl has its own ubuntu channel
[07:56] <Tommy2k4> just fyi opera 9.01 is out, when will this be in commercial repo?
[07:56] <Psychobudgie> I love it

[07:56] <TheGateKeeper> Phlexonance: I use the xine engine, libxine-extracodes and w32codecs plays most things

[08:03] <NeoMatrixJR1> HELP! I can see a package I want on the packages.ubuntulinux.org site, but can't find it in the synaptic manager!  I *THINK* I added the appropriate repository, but still can't find it.
[08:03] <ardchoille> NeoMatrixJR1: Which package?
[08:03] <mDot> scrilla- http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde.php
[08:04] <longwave> r000t: can you just add them as extra interfaces to /etc/network/interfaces?
[08:04] <mDot> scrill- but be careful, you may have gnome libs istalled that you're relying on
[08:04] <Skorgu|Work> I had to reboot because vmware locked my system and now a USB harddrive isn't showing up in /dev. dmesg reports it and it finds the partitions but /dev/sdbX don't exist
[08:05] <r000t> longwave: what is the initscript to reread the interfaces
[08:05] <ardchoille> !info NeoMatrixJR1 You can do: /query ubotu   and then go to that window and type:  !info packagename  and it'll give you some info about the package and which repo it's in
[08:05] <ubotu> Package NeoMatrixJR1 does not exist in dapper
[08:05] <NeoMatrixJR1> upslug2
[08:06] <longwave> r000t: after adding them you can just use ifup and ifdown to activate/deactivate them
[08:06] <r000t> longwave: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address
[08:07] <NeoMatrixJR1> says it doesn't exist, yet I can find it at: http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/edgy/otherosfs/upslug2
[08:07] <longwave> hrmm i don't know much about virtual interfaces, maybe you need a kernel module or something for them?
[08:08] <ardchoille> NeoMatrixJR1: That is a page for Edgy, that package doesn't exist in Dapper
[08:08] <acojlo> hi, i've switched to gnome. It's feel little slower than kde. Maybe I'm missing some libaries or xorg.conf needs tweakings?
[08:08] <davey_> Blender doesn't have readable text when I open it, I'm on amd64
[08:08] <NeoMatrixJR1> I'm using 6.06 which I believe is edgy is it not?
[08:09] <davey_> acojlo, thats strange because gnome is usualy faster
[08:09] <longwave> NeoMatrixJR1: 6.06 is dapper, edgy is not out yet
[08:09] <ardchoille> NeoMatrixJR1: no
[08:09] <ardchoille> 6.06 is Dapper
[08:09] <maarvins1> could someone check my security from outside please
[08:09] <maarvins1> ?
[08:09] <maarvins1> some portscan or something
[08:09] <maarvins1> ?
[08:09] <maarvins1> please?
[08:09] <davey_> maarvinsl, they have sites that do that if you want a thuro search
[08:09] <Skorgu|Work> nobody knows about dmesg reporting a USB drive but not creating the /dev nodes?
[08:09] <NeoMatrixJR1> oh, alright, well that helps, I'll have to get and compile the source then I'd imagine
[08:09] <r000t> longwave: i did and it gave me "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address  Bind socket to interface: No such device"
[08:09] <davey_> maarvinsl, do you want me to ping your adress?

[08:20] <davey_> danga, people seem to not like the repeating if you are on a channel with a lot of people
[08:20] <danga> k ill im you
[08:20] <Skorgu|Work> ardchoille: thanks, I still blame gaim :)
[08:20] <acojlo> I see that gnome is slower than kde - especially with "redrawing windows" when I switch through them. Am I missing some lib or other, because I switched to gnome on kubuntu installation. Also, it's slow when I switch through tabs - I have 756mb of ram with 64mb of video ram
[08:20] <ardchoille> Skorgu|Work: ok :)
[08:20] <davey_> acojlo, how did you switch? what did you do to get gnome desktop
[08:21] <acojlo> I got ubuntu-desktop, then gdm, then gnome-desktop
[08:21] <danga> aim
[08:21] <acojlo> but I've removed kubuntu-desktop (it's ok this way is better) and many kde specific packages
[08:21] <acojlo> davey_
[08:21] <davey_> acojlo, you should try apt-get install gnome and then gnome-desktop, I think....
[08:22] <frying_fish> ubuntu-desktop is a meta-package that should handle it all anyway
[08:22] <acojlo> davey_ : everything looks ok - aptitude say's nothing new
[08:22] <davey_> frying_fish, oh cool. sorry
[08:22] <frying_fish> or at least, it is from what I rememeber
[08:23] <davey_> acojlo, can I ask you something? off toppic, how come you don't use snyaptic? everyone seems to be using that other one
[08:23] <davey_> acojlo, I feel like I'm out of the loop
[08:23] <acojlo> I davey_ I use it, but I use this additionaly
[08:23] <davey_> ic
[08:23] <acojlo> anyway, ok
[08:24] <davey_> hey people I'm going to ask again, so anyone know how to make blender 3d display correctly and does anyone have and cool gdesklets because all of them are gone off of the website and i cant find them
[08:25] <numist> davey_: #blender is probably a better place to ask, they do crazy things
[08:25] <Ice-9> sorry, i'm a noob
[08:25] <davey_> numist, thanks I wasn't sure because i figured it was a distro problem i'll check it out
[08:25] <jokersmild> Is anybody here good at making bootable usb drives?
[08:25] <numist> davey_: it might be a distro problem, but they have their own built in WM..  blender is a crazy piece of code

[08:30] <LoLlO_cAlL> Hiiiii people!!
[08:30] <Skorgu|Work> OK, init.d/udev restart fails, any way I can get more info on why exactly its failing?
[08:32] <dapet_> Does noone knows anyting about my question?! :(
[08:33] <P3L|C4N0> greetings
[08:33] <davey_> numist, ya I checked with thouse guys they were like "let me guys you use ati right"
[08:33] <budluva> does anyone know how to configure acpi to correctly give temperature? acpi -V gives me 40.0 C all the time
[08:37] <numist> davey_: it was an ATI problem?  yeah..  sorry man
[08:37] <Skorgu|Work> anyone know anything about udev failing silently after sitting for a while and doing nothing?
[08:37] <davey_> numist, I guess. the binary ati drivers if you don't use the installer work great, the installer trashes your system but the how to works great

[08:38] <[Wiebel] > hmz
[08:38] <davey_> numist, tell him amd64 needs a build!
[08:38] <i_is_two> wooo
[08:38] <i_is_two> yeah
[08:39] <whadar> what application can be a substitute for visio? i need to draw diagrams...
[08:39] <davey_> numist, to be honest, the amd64 version of linux runs stuff faster then my 32 bit windows instalation!
[08:39] <numist> davey_: give him an amd64 machine and he'll do it
[08:39] <LeaChim> whadar, dia is good
[08:39] <clast> does webdav access with nautilus usually work?
[08:39] <davey_> numist, tell him I'll vnc him myne if thats what holdin him up
[08:39] <i_is_two> man i threw teh live cd on an original celeron and it recognized teh usb wireless card and gave me teh net
[08:39] <i_is_two> woo yeah
[08:39] <ucordes> davey: you really think it is so much fster than 32?
[08:39] <numist> davey_: send a privmsg to SIGFPE if you're serious
[08:40] <davey_> ucordes, I can show it is
[08:40] <davey_> numist, alright
[08:40] <jahshua> ok peeps, i need help big time. i am trying to get Flash working on Firefox or Opera but i think i may have messed it somehow. i followed the instructions on the wiki for restricted formats and it didnt work so then i ran Easyubuntu and it still wont work. Firefox tells me the Flash i have is out of date and Opera brings up a player but not video or sound at all.. can anyone please help me?   :/
[08:40] <ucordes> davey: when i switched tu ubuntu i first tried amd64 on my turion. but due to compatibility issues i'm using 32 bit now
[08:40] <LeaChim> dapet_, you need to remove that first network block i think
[08:40] <dapet_> i_is_two: were you talking to me?
[08:41] <Skorgu|Work> ok, how can I remove udev entirely and reinstall it, including the configs?
[08:41] <davey_> numist, is he on this channel? I can't find it
[08:41] <scrilla-> whats a better package manager than aptitude
[08:41] <Andre4s> hi! I have a rpm package of a canon driver that I want to install. Is that possible?
[08:41] <scrilla-> command line based
[08:41] <i_is_two> no i was just making a comment on how slick ubuntu is
[08:41] <numist> davey_: he's in #blender
[08:41] <scrilla-> console based i mean
[08:41] <davey_> ucordes, I'm on amdtorron also
[08:41] <MaDSeN> anyone know how to ignore JOINS / QUITS in LostIRC?
[08:41] <numist> davey_: probably best to send him a private message though
[08:41] <i_is_two> havent installed it yet but when i get my box up here thats what i think i'm gonna do
[08:41] <ucordes> davey: you think it's ways faster than 32? :-(
[08:41] <dapet_> LeaChim: tried that, not working... But maybe a mixture of the 2 blacoks will help... But I dont know :(
[08:41] <scrilla-> whats a good console based package manager for UBUNTU than aptitude
[08:41] <LeaChim> dapet_, you definitely only need one network block
[08:42] <davey_> ucordes, I can show you the cpu scailing it can run at 50 percent and be as fast as a 1.6g at 32
[08:42] <ucordes> but there are so many apps that i couldn't find for 64
[08:42] <i_is_cat> :/
[08:43] <davey_> numist, he's not on right now, if you see him tell him my email adress it's antigenic@gmail.com
[08:43] <timas> Howdy peoples.. question about Xine having issues initializing my audio drivers, anyone here that can help me with that?
[08:44] <ucordes> anybody else here who thinks there are big advantages in 64 distributions?
[08:44] <davey_> ucordes, I know, but most times you can work around, like what did you need?
[08:44] <numist> davey_: k
[08:44] <ucordes> i knew you would ask but i can't tell you exact. i had probs with fglrx and stuff
[08:44] <bobbyd_> ucordes, I don't know of 64 distributions, so I couldn't tell you :)
[08:44] <Ice-9> i don't think that there will be any big advantages in 64 distributions until the hardware is there that can really run it
[08:44] <ucordes> acpi tools for my acer
[08:45] <dapet_> I changed the network block to this http://pastebin.ca/112133 and it did not work (same frezing)

[08:45] <davey_> ucordes, me 2 it's harder to find that kind of stuff, for example some hardware just doesn't work, even if they have opensoure drives it's rediculose and ubuntu... don't tell them I said this.. but they don't maintain the repos as much as i386
[08:46] <timas> Amarok tells me "Xine was unable to initialize any audio-drivers.", I can't find anything that helps me further with this.. anyone have any idea, at all?
[08:46] <davey_> oh people I need to learn how to hide linux because I have a hardware problem that I need fixed undr my warenty and they won't understand linux
[08:46] <dapet_> LeaChim: I changed the network block to this http://pastebin.ca/112133 and it did not work (same frezing)
[08:46] <davey_> they will get scared and not fix my comp
[08:46] <timas> dapet_: did you install it dual boot?
[08:47] <davey_> I bought a flore moddle that was kind of broke, but thats ok because I got it for cheep and they said they would fix it
[08:47] <blinker> davey_: who manufactured it?
[08:47] <frying_fish> Anyone know why X would fail to load an xmodmap.conf after loading it many many many times previously?
[08:47] <timas> er.. sorry! davey_ that is
[08:47] <davey_> blinker, averatech
[08:47] <dapet_> timas: I don't think so?
[08:47] <blinker> never heard
[08:47] <LeaChim> dapet_, what driver are you using for wlan0? madwifi?
[08:47] <ucordes> lol i will remove my hdd if i will ever have to let them fix something
[08:47] <dapet_> Dwext?
[08:48] <LeaChim> ah
[08:48] <LeaChim> what's wext then?
[08:48] <mikearthur> I've built my own linux-image, how would I build my own linux-restricted-modules?
[08:48] <davey_> ucordes, i'm scared, they will totaly mess it up.. I have all my work on linux, last time they "fixed" a problem i had they wiped the harddrive
[08:48] <timas> davey_ I'd just remove it
[08:48] <LeaChim> davey_, got a spare 10gig lying around? stick that in :P
[08:49] <davey_> timas, they have stickers over my comp, if I open it it voids the wanty
[08:49] <dapet_> somthing I were ask to set in instead he he... He said it were somthing "generated"?!
[08:49] <Ice-9> davey-if it's a hardware issue, they shouldn't need to touch the HDD
[08:49] <Amaranth> davey_: They'll probably wipe your HD.
[08:49] <linux_manju> davey_: Learn how to fix up a Pc.. You will stand just a step behind a genius ;)
[08:49] <Amaranth> davey_: That seems to be SOP.
[08:49] <frying_fish> mikearthur: you don't
[08:49] <ucordes> leachim lol i think he needs one of the  small drives
[08:49] <mikearthur> frying_fish: but if I wanted to, how would I
[08:49] <davey_> they will I know it, they don't think anything is a hardware issure, I know the sodering for my touchpad is bad.. but i can't just tell them that bcause they think it's software
[08:49] <frying_fish> if you built your own image, you built in all the things it was using, except maybe for your graphics drivers that you would have to compile manually
[08:49] <regeya> davey_: external drives are your friend
[08:49] <timas> davey_: burn DVDs and CD's.. or ext. drives
[08:49] <Amaranth> davey_: So make backups of everything you need to keep and hope for the best.
[08:50] <frying_fish> the point is, the whole idea of building your own kernel is to build in things instead of having them as modules
[08:50] <davey_> is their good backup software for ubuntu?
[08:50] <Amaranth> davey_: Yeah, they'll probably wipe the drive and reinstall Windows to see if it's a driver problem.
[08:50] <timas> if there isn't.. there's always the posibility of making a 'ghost' image of your whole drive
[08:50] <mikearthur> frying_fish: thats not the case, also, how do you suggest I build in the NVIDIA drivers?
[08:50] <Amaranth> davey_: I just drop all my important stuff onto DVD/CD Creator (it's in places) and burn a DVD
[08:50] <ucordes> besides i would never send all my personal stuff to (in my case) acer
[08:50] <frying_fish> They will have a binary installer
[08:51] <dapet_> timas: How do I tjek it?
[08:51] <frying_fish> that needs to go against the kernel you just built.
[08:51] <dapet_> LeaChim: somthing I were ask to set in instead he he... He said it were somthing "generated"?!
[08:51] <timas> dapet_ there's paid solutions for that, but I'm practically 100% certain there are very nice OSS solutions as well
[08:51] <frying_fish> and ok, maybe you leave things as modules, but you cut the kernel down and optimise it, and wouldn't need restricted modules.
[08:51] <Skorgu|Work> I need to reinstall udev from scratch, ignoring/deleting the current configuration
[08:51] <jahshua> ok peeps, i need help big time. i am trying to get Flash working on Firefox or Opera but i think i may have messed it somehow. i followed the instructions on the wiki for restricted formats and it didnt work so then i ran Easyubuntu and it still wont work. Firefox tells me the Flash i have is out of date and Opera brings up a player but not video or sound at all.. can anyone please help me?   :/
[08:52] <dapet_> timas: You don't know? ;)
[08:52] <ucordes> oh oh oh.... i can tell you a story about easy ubuntu... i tried this once on amd64 dapper and it messed up the whole system
[08:53] <dapet_> jahshua: Can't you just install it as a pacage+
[08:53] <davey_> Amaranth, i have windows on dule boot, I think i could just temorarly make grub just default to that real quick and then chang it back after they fix it
[08:53] <davey_> I don't know how to do that though
[08:53] <davey_> it's alright I'll be hanging around here, i'm going in on aug16 to get a real mouse and a batery for this bad boy. and my dad scrached the screen I might want to change that later on
[08:53] <davey_> I was showing him stocks and he got really exited and hit it
[08:53] <timas> I'ma try it again, anyone here an idea towards fixing my sound issues?
[08:53] <Amaranth> davey_: They're going to reinstall Windows. They'll delete your Ubuntu partition.
[08:53] <_X_> howdy folks
[08:54] <_X_> I have a fairly old laptop that I want to update, but I cant connect it to the internet
[08:54] <_X_> can I download all of the latest deb's in a package somewhere or something so that I can easily move it over with a usb stick or something similar?
[08:55] <tgelter> I was directed here from a forum discussing the possibility to configure 5.1 surround sound with the nforce4 chipset and dapper, anyone had experience with this?
[08:55] <ucordes> i read a nice thread about linux and pc shops in the forums... very interesting how some think about it
[08:55] <Ice-9> ucordes_care to give us a link?
[08:55] <Ice-9> or perhaps a URL?
[08:55] <dapet_> timas: Se in that nother "page" (don't know what it is)
[08:56] <Nuked> is there a way I can make swap overwritten with zeros on halting ?
[08:56] <dr_willis> why bother Nuked
[08:56] <stefg> tgelter: although not personally having it i know that some people here had success with amaroK or vlc
[08:56] <ic56> _X_: try apt-get -d update  # to download all the packages
[08:56] <ic56> _X_: then copy them to the usb stick
[08:56] <ucordes> ice-9: i'll take a look if i find it again
[08:57] <ic56> _X_: finally, on the laptop, dpkg -i <pathanes to packages>
[08:57] <_X_> right, thanks
[08:57] <dapet_> I used this site https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo to se my wireless WPA network, I followed the instruktions on that page (i have Ubuntu 6.06) and in the end it says that if a comando (it is pretty long so you can se it by uorself) not give a specifik outcome i were to ask for help in here, the outcome is here http://pastebin.ca/112094 (on the buttom) in top is the wpa_supplicant.conf (is that right?).... help
[08:57] <dapet_>  i am using a Netgear WG111v2 wireless USB adapter.
[08:57] <tgelter> stefg, do you happen to know if they used the snd_intel8x0 module or the nsound?
[08:57] <Amaranth> tgelter: Are you MiKuS from nvnews? :)
[08:58] <tgelter> I am not
[08:58] <davey_> ic
[08:58] <davey_> linux is hard to set up but when it runs, it runs man. My dad can't get any work done on his windows comp at all
[08:58] <davey_> to many viruses
[08:58] <ic56> _X_: yw!
[08:58] <regeya> meh.
[08:58] <regeya> meh.
[08:58] <Amaranth> tgelter: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost.php?s=24702f48e83e6fedeb444d7d664fb778&p=928832&postcount=4
[08:58] <davey_> I'mg oign to say this again... can anyone update "qtstalker in the repos" we use it on amd64... just thought i would say that so people know
[08:58] <Strykyr> how do i get gcc istalled?
[08:58] <stefg> tgelter: i run nforce two, and use i_8x0.. theoretically i have 5.1 (but only 2.1 speaker connected)
[08:58] <ucordes> Ice-9: can't find it. but the guy just said he suggested his local pc dealer to sell linux boxes..
[08:59] <Amaranth> davey_: Is there something wrong with the version in the repos?
[08:59] <Ice-9> ucordes: what did the dealer say to that?
[08:59] <tgelter> Strykyr, in aptitude search for gcc and choose the package you want to install (I use 2.0) and go ahead and install it...you'll probably want the dev package as well
[08:59] <Strykyr> ok
[08:59] <Strykyr> Thank You
[09:00] <tgelter> so the i_8x0 is supposed to support 5.1?
[09:00] <davey_> Amaranth, sigh. no it's just old
[09:00] <bmonkey> how do i enable direct rendering? i have a nvidia 6600GT, with dual head and xgl / compiz installed
[09:00] <tgelter> Strykyr, you'll also want to apt-get install build-essential as well
[09:00] <Amaranth> davey_: ah, then no, sorry
[09:00] <stefg> tgelter: the issue is that you'll need a piece of software that emulates 5.1 from stereo sources. vlc for instance is playing 5.1 with dvds but only 2-channel when playing mp3'S
[09:00] <ucordes> Ice-9: they guy said it would not be worth it
[09:00] <Strykyr> ok
[09:01] <davey_> amaranth, I know I wine a lot huh..
[09:01] <Ice-9> ucordes: why? not enough interest?
[09:01] <jeps> guys i did it        i lost my files on my hd while installing ubuntu (one part with xp and the other one with music and videos)        what can i do now?  ...    so sad
[09:01] <ucordes> Ice-9: he argumented like no support and too complicated
[09:01] <tgelter> the problem is that even though I have enabled all 6 channels with alsamixer, I can't get 5.1 from dvds either...I have tried using totem-xine, mplayer, and vlc
[09:02] <jeps> a friend told me something about easy recovery              it works?  should i convert the partition created by ubuntu in ntfs beforse using this easy recovery?
[09:02] <Ice-9> ucordes: people just need to realize that a computer is something to be worked on and maintained, not a magic box that takes you to the internet and plays a good game of solitare
[09:02] <regeya> amen
[09:02] <timas> is there any way I can check which audio-drivers are available? my soundcard is detected and works fine.. its just xine being mean
[09:02] <stefg> tgelter: does the alsa speakercheck address all 5.1 channels?
[09:02] <EricTheRed__> i'm forced to use PGP Desktop - is it possible to use my PGP keyring with GnuPG?
[09:02] <EricTheRed__> .
[09:02] <EricTheRed__> .
[09:02] <ucordes> Ice-9: ;-) indeed
[09:02] <Skorgu|Work> anyone know anything about apt?
[09:02] <tgelter> stefg: if I enable LVE, which I was told isn't true 5.1
[09:02] <bmonkey> how do i enable direct rendering? i have a nvidia 6600GT, with dual head and xgl / compiz installed
[09:03] <Amaranth> bmonkey: In XGL direct rendering always says no
[09:03] <stefg> LVE is the mentioned emulation of 5.1 from stereo
[09:03] <Amaranth> bmonkey: If XGL is working you're fine though
[09:03] <scrilla-> hello
[09:03] <tgelter> Skorgu|Work: what do you need to know?
[09:03] <scrilla-> by default, ubuntu does not come with its linux source right?
[09:03] <bmonkey> Amaranth: but the cedega open gl test fails
[09:03] <Amaranth> bmonkey: ignore it
[09:03] <sysrpl> hello
[09:03] <scrilla-> like, i want to disable a bunch of stuff in my linux kernel, but i cant find the src in /usr/src/linux
[09:04] <bmonkey> Amaranth: k, thanks
[09:04] <Amaranth> scrilla-: nope
[09:04] <Skorgu|Work> tgelter: I need to force apt to overwrite the configuration files for a package (udev)
[09:04] <tgelter> stefg: so there is only emulated 5.1 surround in linux?
[09:04] <sethk> scrilla-, come with?  If you mean it isn't on the install cd, then you might say that.
[09:04] <Amaranth> scrilla-: almost everything is compiled as a module
[09:04] <scrilla-> ok
[09:04] <scrilla-> brb
[09:04] <Amaranth> scrilla-: it only loads what you need
[09:04] <sethk> scrilla-, but many parts of the system do not come on the cd.
[09:04] <sysrpl> if i ty sudo somecommand and get he password wrong three times in a row, how to i reset it so i can use sudo again, because it's locked me out of the sudo command?
[09:04] <ucordes> Ice-9: half a year ago, i was an old fashioned windows user and didn't even know how to spell linux. now i came to a point where i refuse using windows and try to spread ubuntu ^^
[09:04] <sysrpl> ty = type
[09:04] <tgelter> Skorgu|Work: what I always do in that case is purge before I reinstall (from aptitude)
[09:04] <stefg> tgelter: no... vlc can do proper 5.1 and amaroK (as i hear), too
[09:04] <Zeike> Anyone gotten democracy player to work lately? Just tried to install it and I get a libgktmozembed error.
[09:05] <tgelter> stefg: to test that, would I want LVE on or off?
[09:05] <Ice-9> ucordes: i'm about where you were, i'm trying to integrate myself into ubuntu, but it's hard when you don't have an internet connection (i'm here on my parent's XP box)
[09:05] <scrilla-> i uninstalled X
[09:05] <matata> does dapper kernel support hibernat ?
[09:05] <scrilla-> how do i install gnome
[09:05] <scrilla-> apt-get install gnome?
[09:05] <scrilla-> apt-get install gnome-desktop?
[09:05] <Skorgu|Work> tgelter: purging udev wants to uninstall half the system as dependancies
[09:05] <dapet_> timas: are you there?
[09:05] <timas> scrilla-: yes
[09:05] <timas> dapet_: I am, for a second or two more
[09:05] <timas> ask again?
[09:05] <Zeike> scrilla-, pretty sure I've seen docs out there how to do that
[09:05] <shurik> how do i allow relaying on exim4? thanks!
[09:05] <scrilla-> brb
[09:06] <dapet_> timas: you wanted to explain, in the personal room?
[09:06] <Ice-9> ucordes: i'm a noob, but i'm trying to learn through books, the internet, and gurus. I'd just like it if someone were to come along side of me and help me with various aspects of linux
[09:06] <tgelter> Skorgu|Work: ah, I haven't messed with that package...you may want to ask others...or you could just go in and delete the configuration files yourself
[09:06] <Ice-9> ucordes: i mean, books are fine and all, but it's better if there's someone showing you what stuff does and the like
[09:06] <Skorgu|Work> if I nuke them manually will apt reinstall them?
[09:06] <Skorgu|Work> tgelter: --^
[09:06] <stefg> fgelter: to test real AC3 you switch LVE off, and see that a DVD with Dolby 5.1 sound plays back properly over all 6 speakers
[09:07] <tgelter> Skorgu|Work: yes, if you uninstall the package, then delete the config files, they will be recreated upon reinstallation
[09:07] <QLife> Can someone help me with my display problem? When I try to change resolution, it displays some garble on the screen, and then it throws me to login screen with original resolution (I'm using Ubuntu 6.06 live cd)
[09:07] <Skorgu|Work> tgelter: thanks!

[09:09] <rpedro> jahshua: search in synaptic to see if you have the 'libflash' package installed (it's a gpl'ed flash implementation) , that gave me problems when I started using ubuntu, and those problems went away after I uninstalled it
[09:09] <timas> dapet_ I think..
[09:09] <scrilla-> including kubuntu, etc,etc
[09:09] <timas> rofl

[09:09] <timas> that was all meant to go to davey_
[09:09] <scrilla-> like that?
[09:10] <naknomik> Is there a pseudo package name I can do 'apt-get install' that will pull all the packages required for C/C++ development?

[09:11] <JamieBE> Hi everyone, I have a couple of issues, can someone please help us out? My first question is: How do I find out what the executable commands are from the terminal? I have just installed a Quake4 demo, but no menu icon had been added and I can't see a "Bin" file either. Seconly, I have noticed that in the places menu on dapper default installation there seems to be a watered down version of a search utility. I came across a mouch better one recently by acci
[09:11] <JamieBE> dent that the OS already has pre-installed called gnome-search-tool. Is there a way of changed the 'Places' menu to use this other gnome-search-tool by default, of am I stuck with it?
[09:11] <jahshua> rpedro: yeh i have libflash installed.. :/
[09:11] <dapet_> TheSheep:  som? (i am a noob)
[09:11] <rpedro> jahshua: especially this package >> libflash-mozplugin , you should uninstall it if you have it
[09:11] <gnomefreak> JamieBE: normally name of the app
[09:11] <scrilla-> good
[09:11] <tgelter> to all: This is my first time on this channel...I am impressed with the ubuntu community! Keep it up!
[09:11] <scrilla-> just cleaning up my system heh
[09:11] <sysrpl> i screwed up at the console typing the wrong su password 3 times in a row .. now with my user account i can't execute su command ... how do i reset the password attempt count?
[09:11] <stefg> tgelter: i do not /know/ but i would guess the alsa documentation is the place to go
[09:11] <naknomik> stefg: I am not trying to build any packages from source, I want c/C++ tools for my own development.
[09:11] <TheSheep> dapet_: the most essential ones, the rest depends on what exactly you do in C/C++
[09:11] <stefg> naknomik: so you want a IDE ?
[09:11] <gnomefreak> naknomik: install build-essential and anjunta
[09:12] <JamieBE> gnomefreak, I have guessed all, and none work
[09:12] <tgelter> stefg: thanks again, I'm out to test
[09:12] <troytroy> naknomik: have u tried anjuta

[09:12] <gfxstyler> does anyone know why i can't switch from X to console with the ati fglrx driver?
[09:12] <arto> Anyone had an experience with linux on Nvidia notebooks? I am thinking of buying onw
[09:12] <dapet_> This is my problem ;9
[09:12] <troytroy> naknomik: have eclips not bad but too much inclined to java
[09:13] <somethingelse> anyone here using an ATI video card?  how do i turn on hardware acceleration?
[09:13] <deizel> How would I go about upgrading from libusb-0.1-4 (2:0.1.10a-22ubuntu1) to libusb-0.1-4 (>= 2:0.1.12)?
[09:13] <gfxstyler> it looks like the screen is "bleeding" in different random colors when i try to switch to console when im on X with fglrx
[09:13] <gfxstyler> somethingelse: me
[09:13] <JamieBE> How about the places menu search tool, any way of changing this?
[09:13] <dr_willis> !ati
[09:13] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:13] <arto> somethingelse..
[09:13] <naknomik> troytroy: I admit, I haven't checked anjuta in an year+ or so... has it changed much?
[09:13] <arto> !ati
[09:13] <jeps> which is the best program to recover lost files on hd (after formatting)?
[09:13] <sysrpl> i screwed up at the console typing the wrong su password 3 times in a row .. now with my user account i can't execute su command ... how do i reset the password attempt count?
[09:13] <dr_willis> jeps,  good luck with that. :)
[09:13] <gfxstyler> arto: you may now a solution?
[09:13] <scrilla-> i want to clean my system, and leave nothing but the base stuff and start from scratch with apt-get
[09:13] <naknomik> stefg: I think build-essential is what I was looking for
[09:13] <scrilla-> how do i go bout this?
[09:14] <arto> gfxstyler: for what?
[09:14] <JamieBE> I think that Alacarte seriously lacks powerful control over the menus, and some of the things which I would really have liked to have changed only seem to be changable by searching for code and re-building icon files.
[09:14] <dr_willis> sysrpl,  try man passwd and see if they mentio it.
[09:14] <Ice-9> jeps: if you've formatted, you're screwed. your data=bye bye
[09:14] <troytroy> naknomik: same old man just changes in compatibility with other IDEs
[09:14] <gfxstyler> arto: read my posts above
[09:14] <deizel> jamiebe, ur too picky :p
[09:14] <xipietotec> Question: Synaptic package manager will not install the latest java package, what's the apt-get for it?
[09:15] <Amaranth> JamieBE: what more could it do?
[09:15] <arto> fglxstyler: switch from X to console? I don't understand what you mean.
 jeps,  good luck with that. :)        thanks   but which program?
[09:15] <ucordes> jeps: there are some companies who recover files from screwd or formatted hdds
[09:15] <dr_willis> jeps,  what did you format it with?
[09:15] <ucordes> but iyou should only try this if you have too much money :-)
[09:15] <arto> fgxstyler: sorry, I mistyped your name earlier.
[09:15] <dapet_> Nothing happend again today.... I have tried to make my wireless network working in nearly a week now....
[09:15] <gfxstyler> arto: well, type CTRL+ALT+F[number] 
[09:15] <Tamale> why does my keyboard input keep going completttttttttttttttttttttttely bonkers?
[09:15] <econthrust> quick question: whats the initial password for CUPS?
[09:15] <Tamale> like that?
[09:15] <jeps> ubuntu deleted my partition!
[09:15] <xipietotec> Anyone?
[09:15] <gfxstyler> arto: and then you switch to console again
[09:15] <jahshua> rpedro: UNinstall  libflash-mozplugin   ??
[09:15] <ucordes> jeps: i bet you deleted it yourself....
[09:15] <Amaranth> econthrust: should be your password
[09:15] <dr_willis> econthrust,  its disabled by default for the web interface. check the wiki/forums for how to renable the web interface.
[09:15] <JamieBE> deizel: I came from Windows onto Ubuntu, and think that Linux shows serious promise over Microsoft alternatives, but it needs to overcome indescrepancies between distros, and make the GUI more powerful, rather than having to call on the bash the whole time
[09:15] <gfxstyler> arto: but unfortunately my screen gets distorted because of that stupid fglrx driver when i do that, and i don't know if that can be solved or not
[09:16] <deizel> JamieBE, get a new GUI.
[09:16] <econthrust> okay thanks! i go check!
[09:16] <rpedro> jahshua: yes , 'sudo apt-get remove libflash-mozplugin'
[09:16] <arto> gfxstyler, make sure that you have installed the fglrx driver correctly: fglrxinfo and then tell me what it says.
[09:16] <dr_willis> gfxstyler,  could try disabling the framebuffer feature of the kernel. it may work better then with X.
[09:16] <deizel> but yeh, bash, i like bash.
[09:16] <ttyfscker> what package do i need installed for make xconfig to work?  i get the error No rule to make target `scripts/kconfig/.tmp_qtcheck', needed by `scripts/kconfig/qconf.o'.  Stop.
[09:16] <xipietotec> Synaptic package manager says I need root to install the java developer stuff
[09:16] <xipietotec> what's the apt-get for it?
[09:16] <deizel> i used to like DOS before they brought out XP
[09:16] <Amaranth> JamieBE: i've the developer of alacarte, what more do you want it to do?
[09:16] <deizel> then i just had to live without the proper power of it
[09:16] <gfxstyler> dr_willis: i tried to run without the vga= statement (so no framebuffer), is that the same? or do i really need to recompile the kernel?
[09:16] <stefg> !info dosemu > deizel
[09:16] <arto> anybody has heard anything about Nvidia notebooks? good or bad? linux friendly?
[09:16] <ubotu> dosemu: The Linux DOS Emulator. In repository multiverse, is optional. Version 1.2.2-3build1 (dapper), package size 877 kB, installed size 2024 kB
[09:17] <crimsun> Amaranth: ponies and marmalade+toast kthx.
[09:17] <deizel> k
[09:17] <gfxstyler> arto: the drivers are installed correctly, 3d accel + xgl running fine
[09:17] <jahshua> ok rpedro doing it now... anything else you can think of?
[09:17] <Tamale> does anyone else have a problem with keyboard input lagging and spamming tons of repeated characters every once in a while?
[09:17] <JamieBE> Amaranth: Ideally, I would really like to to do what it says on the tin... Edit Menus.... At the moment there is limited control over the Gnome Panel. I can remove certain things, of create new root categories, or change the icon (without looking under the hood) or change ordering of icons or even change antyhing in the Places menu..
[09:17] <gfxstyler> arto: stay away from ati :)
[09:17] <deizel> !info dosbox > ms-dos
[09:17] <ubotu> dosbox: A x86 emulator with Tandy/Herc/CGA/EGA/VGA graphics, sound and DOS. In repository universe, is optional. Version 0.63-2.1 (dapper), package size 371 kB, installed size 1028 kB
[09:17] <dr_willis> gfxstyler,  use the 'nofb' option
[09:17] <Amaranth> crimsun: fix my sound and you've got it :)
[09:17] <crimsun> Amaranth: point me to the LP #?
[09:17] <AlexC> Hey,
[09:17] <jeps> at the partitioning during the ubuntu installation i stopped because things weren't so clear to me         after reboot i saw "disk boot failure"
[09:17] <arto> gfxstyler, did you run glxgears -printfps to know if acceleration is really working?
[09:17] <gfxstyler> dr_willis: as kernel argument right? thx i will try it
[09:17] <Amaranth> crimsun: it's too quiet :P
[09:17] <jahshua> rpedro but i leave libflash installed right ?
[09:18] <AlexC> Does anyone else think the latest update of Compiz is even more buggy?
[09:18] <arto> gfxstyler, I must stay away from ati, because I have one now!!!
[09:18] <rpedro> jahshua: maybe purge and reinstall the proprietary flash from macromedia after, if it still doesn't work
[09:18] <ttyfscker> What package contains the QT files needed for make xconfig????
[09:18] <gfxstyler> arto: glxgears is no real benchmark, but i know for sure that acelleration is working
[09:18] <Amaranth> JamieBE: Most of that stuff is hardcoded.
[09:18] <jeps> and then jesus heard me calling him many times
[09:18] <dr_willis> gfxstyler,  yep append it to the end of the kernel= line
[09:18] <ttyfscker> already have libqt4-dev and libqt4-gui
[09:18] <crimsun> AlexC: it's compiz, of course it's going to be "buggy" for a while
[09:18] <QLife> Can someone help me with my display problem? When I try to change resolution, it displays some garble on the screen, and then it throws me to login screen with original resolution (I'm using Ubuntu 6.06 live cd)
[09:18] <rpedro> jahshua: no , you can remove it too, all packages that say 'GPL flash'
[09:18] <ucordes> i don't have full access to my fat32 partition. when i go to properties there is no write for this is the excerpt from my fstab: "/dev/hda3	/media/fat32	vfat    rw,user,auto,utf8,uid=1000,gid=1000  0  0"
[09:18] <JamieBE> Amaranth: The interface of Alacarte is fantastic, and really easy to use. It is just  needs to >> EDIT << more things and not be so ridgid.
[09:18] <JamieBE> -d
[09:18] <arto> gfxstyler, did you try dr_willis's advice.. kernel buffer disable?
[09:18] <ucordes> *for group and others
[09:18] <gfxstyler> arto: no, im adding it right now
[09:19] <AlexC> crimsun, oh I know it's still Beta - I mean before it was working stable with me before, now ... my desktop will crawl to a halt sometimes, plugin options arent working etc
[09:19] <deizel> JamieBE, http://www.xfce.org/
[09:19] <gfxstyler> arto, dr_willis: im going to try it, brb
[09:19] <JamieBE> Amaranth: I might be wrong here, but I understand that the entire panel structure is contructed with XML files in recursive heirarchies. Why can't these be changed just like the sub-menus?
[09:19] <arto> dr_willis: how did you advise him to change that option? through kernel config modification?
[09:20] <stefg> ucordes: *umask=007,gid=46* ... restart to make the changes take effect
[09:20] <JamieBE> deizel: A lot of people have mentioned this. I may just have to check it out.
[09:20] <vinayy> can I get ubuntu DVDs from shipit?
[09:20] <dr_willis> arto,  i al3ays edit the grub.conf and rerun update-grub
[09:20] <arto> dr_willis: How does grub relate to fglrx drivers?
[09:20] <Tamale> does anyone else have a problem with keyboard input lagging and spamming tons of repeated characters every once in a while?
[09:20] <fir3st0rm> hi
[09:21] <deizel> JamieBE, feel free, theres always KDE and others, as opposed to Gnome. You will find one you like :)
[09:21] <dr_willis> arto,  the framebuffer drivers and fglrx can be fighting. thus messing up the console.. seen it on some hardware in the past.
[09:21] <fir3st0rm> someone here using the tv card hauppauge nexus-s?
[09:21] <arto> dr_willis: well I never enabled it by default when dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg.
[09:21] <ucordes> stefg: "/dev/hda3	/media/fat32	vfat    rw,user,auto,utf8,uid=1000,umask=007,gid=46  0  0" ?
[09:22] <jeps> better hdd regenerator or easy recovery in your opinion?
[09:22] <JamieBE> deizel: I tried KDE, and wasn't entirely pleased. The default Gnome menu is really messy, but it makes sense. XFCE - Is this not a watered down interface?
[09:22] <dr_willis> arto,  No.. the framebuffer feature of the kernel - gives the console a fancy framebuffer. that can  conflict with the X drivers and mess up the console when switching back and forth.
[09:23] <mDot> JamieBE XFCE is a lightweight desktop designed for use on less-powerful hardware
[09:23] <stefg> ucordes: the uid is obsolete, because the plugdev group(46)  will give you accept
[09:23] <arto> dr_willis: Yes, I am not opposing to that, but isn't that option in dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? Or that was something else?
[09:23] <stefg> *access
[09:23] <saxin> I want a program that I can use to record my desktop. Anything else than Istanbul worth trying out? :-)
[09:23] <naknomik> Is there a memory bandwidth benchmark available in Ubuntu?
[09:23] <dr_willis> arto,  there is a framebuffer X driver you could use.. but thats not the issue. :P
[09:23] <ucordes> stefg: isee . thanks a lot!
[09:23] <naknomik> I'am playing with memory timings and want to see how much improvement I'm getting.
[09:24] <dr_willis> arto,  if using 'nofb' of course that fb driver wouldent work for X either. Its sort of a failsafe sort of way to have a X display
[09:24] <JamieBE> mdot: Thanks, I thought so.
[09:24] <gfxstyler> dr_willis: no worky
[09:24] <gfxstyler> problem stays the same
[09:25] <dr_willis> gfxstyler,  lets reverify the exact problem.. When you change from X to the console with alt-ctrl-F1 and alt-ctrl-F7 - the console gets messed up?
[09:25] <arto> dr_willis: Good knowledge! :)
[09:25] <gfxstyler> dr_willis: right
[09:25] <tapio_> How do i change keyindex in ubuntu?
[09:25] <gfxstyler> dr_willis: weird lines and colors and it looks like its "bleeding"
[09:25] <dr_willis> gfxstyler,  so its the console thats messed up? not X?
[09:25] <gfxstyler> dr_willis: and it only happens with the fglrx module
[09:25] <_bt> gfxstyler, im having the same problem,
[09:25] <xipietotec> I get this when I try to install java using Synaptic package manager: This package is an installer package it does not actually contain the J2SDK documentation You need do download one of the Archives...etc.
[09:25] <crazy_penguin> hi all!
[09:25] <scrilla-> which file has the netmask info of my network
[09:25] <_bt> gfxstyler, i fixed it by removing splash from the kernel line
[09:26] <gfxstyler> dr_willis: err.. i dunno, its the screen :D
[09:26] <JamieBE> Oh, by the way, I raised an issue a couple of days ago about changing the default Ubuntu orange and brown icon next to the Applications drawer in the Gnome-Panel. If anyone needs sme vague help on how to do this, just give me a shout. No one seemed to know how to do it on Dapper.
[09:26] <dr_willis> gfxstyler,  could try disabling the GDM login manager and just using 'startx' then see if when you exit X if the console comes back to normal.
[09:26] <jahshua> rpedro: thank you SO much.
[09:26] <gfxstyler> dr_willis: but most of the time its not frozen, so it still reacts on commands
[09:26] <jahshua> it works!!!
[09:26] <rpedro> jahshua: that worked?
[09:26] <dr_willis> gfxstyler,  sounding like a fglrx bug.. You sure you disabled the framebuffer.. thats always fixed it for me in the past..
[09:26] <jahshua> yes
[09:26] <jahshua> thanks a million!
[09:26] <rpedro> jahshua: great ;)
[09:27] <deizel> JamieBE, http://www.ratednc-17.com/styles/img/graveyard.png ? ;)
[09:27] <gfxstyler> dr_willis: yes i removed the splash and vga= comments and added nofb
[09:27] <jahshua> I LOVE FREENODE <3 <3 <3 !!!
[09:27] <gfxstyler> dr_willis: its also rather random ... sometimes it works, sometimes i get weird colors
[09:27] <roostishaw> anyone, how do i get my .bash_aliases file to be recognized?
[09:27] <scrilla-> folks
[09:27] <scrilla-> which file has the netmask info of my network
[09:27] <scrilla-> by default.
[09:27] <wikidjeff> How can I add document types to the Create Document menu in X?
[09:27] <dr_willis> gfxstyler,  ick.. sounding more and more like a fglrx bug.
[09:27] <tapio_> How do i change from keyindex 1 to keyindex 2 ?
[09:27] <scrappy_> roostishaw: cat it to .bashrc ? :)
[09:28] <gfxstyler> dr_willis: whats even more weird is that it sometimes still reacts to my commands that i type, so i can type "sudo reboot" and enter the password blind
[09:28] <zi3d4n3> Hi everyone, : Is there someone with experiencewitht Wisegroup LTD, MP8866 DUAL USB
[09:28] <stefg> roostishaw: source it in .bashrc?
[09:28] <roostishaw> scrappy_, "cat it"?
[09:28] <roostishaw> "source it" ?
[09:28] <gfxstyler> dr_willis: i have that bug since the 8.11 driver or something like that
[09:28] <roostishaw> im confused
[09:28] <dr_willis> gfxstyler,  yea the shell is running its just the display thats messed up.
[09:28] <acojlo> my hdparm.conf is all commented. Is this ok?
[09:28] <gfxstyler> dr_willis: what ati card do you have?
[09:28] <dr_willis> gfxstyler,  could just hit alt-ctrl-delete to make it reboot
[09:29] <stefg> roostishaw: ' . bash_aliases'
[09:29] <dr_willis> gfxstyler,  ati9700
[09:29] <stefg> roostishaw: ' . .bash_aliases' that is
[09:29] <dr_willis> gfxstyler,  and a x200m in the laptop
[09:29] <gfxstyler> acojlo: if you don't want to customize your hdparm settings, yes
[09:29] <scrilla-> yo
[09:29] <gfxstyler> dr_willis: i have ati radeon 9600 mobility
[09:29] <roostishaw> stefg, yea. but im asking, what do i do with that? where do i add it? how?
[09:29] <deizel> gfxstyler, or ctrl+alt+backspace to restart X
[09:29] <Richv> Hey anybody, I've got a Dell PowerEdge server with a Megaraid PERC 4e/Di controller. How do I get status info in /proc/megaraid like I used to in Debian Sarge/custom kernel?
[09:29] <gfxstyler> deizel: if i do that i experience the same problem
[09:29] <deizel> gfxstyler, :<
[09:29] <roostishaw> stefg, do i uncomment "if [ -f ~/.bash_aliases ] ; then"
[09:29] <acojlo> well, If I can get better performance with it then I really should uncomment something
[09:30] <zi3d4n3> Please anyone with experience with the Wisegroup LTD, MP8866 DUAL USB private msg me!!!!!! thanks in advance.
[09:30] <gfxstyler> acojlo: check with "sudo hdparm /dev/hda" if your dma is enabled
[09:30] <stefg> roostishaw: add this line to your .bashrc, so .bashrc sources .bash_aliases
[09:30] <SoHan007> I tried the live version of Ubuntu! But my problem is it doesn't detect my modem but windows xp does! what could i do so that my modem can be used in ubuntu?
[09:30] <deizel> right.. uhm.. i'm off to windows to play some counterstrike :/
[09:30] <roostishaw> stefg, i just uncommented the above line, thank you
[09:31] <`Evil`> Any suggestions to a translator for ubuntu, preferably german and french to english and vice versa
[09:31] <tapio_> How can i change keyindex in ubuntu?
[09:31] <zi3d4n3> lol forget winxp, get used to ubuntu !!! hhh i did ! recently completly remove winXP. !!!
[09:31] <Amaranth> JamieBE: Only the Applications menu and the System->Preferences and System->Administration menus use XML files
[09:32] <acojlo> gfxstyler: hdparm on my "/dev/sda" give me just: IO_support = 0 (default 16bit), readahead =16
[09:32] <deizel> can you play counterstrike on your ubuntu?
[09:32] <Amaranth> JamieBE: The top-level on the panel menus are hardcoded, the rest of the System menu is hardcoded, and the Places menus is a combination of gnome-vfs mounts and ~/.gtk-bookmarks
[09:32] <acojlo> gfxstyler, sorry readahed = 256 (on)
[09:32] <troytroy> naknomik: /window close
[09:32] <zi3d4n3> Dunno, can play Unreal Tournament (GOTY), and the emulators, nes,snes,n64, psx,dreamcast. megadrive etc etc
[09:33] <zi3d4n3> pls i need help : Is there someone with experiencewitht Wisegroup LTD, MP8866 DUAL USB
[09:33] <gfxstyler> acojlo: /dev/sda is that your harddisk? do you use scsi/sata?
[09:33] <acojlo> gfxstyler, yes it is sata
[09:33] <deizel> afraid not
[09:33] <SoHan007> so i cant do anything about my modem in ubuntu? :s
[09:33] <gfxstyler> acojlo: oh, i don't even know if that uses dma because i dont have sata :D sorry
[09:34] <deizel> SoHan007, buy a new one that supports linux out of the box
[09:34] <stefg> !dialup > SoHan007
[09:34] <deizel> SoHan007, or hit google and look for someone on the forums thats managed to get your exact modem working
[09:34] <acojlo> gfxstyler, thanks
[09:34] <JamieBE> Amaranth: is there any way at all of manually editing the Gnome-Panel - This is Linux, after all....
[09:35] <Amaranth> JamieBE: source code
[09:35] <zi3d4n3> Can use Pan newsreader and ftd 4linux thats almost all i need in software, missing Paltalk communication but there is skype support
[09:35] <zi3d4n3> please i need help : Is there someone with experiencewitht Wisegroup LTD, MP8866 DUAL USB
[09:35] <gfxstyler> man i dont wanna recompile the kernel
[09:35] <Splix> forgot the command... sudo chown ? /My doc.. Whats the ?...It's on a fat32 disk, locked to root
[09:36] <LordTureis> I've downloaded the linux kernel for 686-smp, as my computer is a pentium 4 from the ubuntu repositories.  I've loaded into it from Grub.  With breezy (or with an older kernel, I'm not sure), the system monitor listed 2 CPUs under the resources tab.  With LTS, (or current kernel) it doesn't.  Is there any other way I can be sure that Ubuntu really is using both CPUs?
[09:36] <JamieBE> Amaranth: Why would someone make such a vital pieve of software so rigid??
[09:36] <dr_willis> you dont chown or chmod files/dirs on a fat32 partition. You MOUNT the partition with the correct options that set the permissions (ie umask-0222)
[09:36] <nekostar> im having a freakout ~_~
[09:36] <Richv> LordTureis: run top, and hit the '1' key. That's worked for me in other distributions.
[09:36] <nekostar> my second hdd says its partition is dead
[09:36] <Amaranth> JamieBE: why would you want to add more root menus?
[09:36] <nekostar> i just reinstalled dapper
[09:36] <nekostar> AND IT HAPPENED THE LAST TIME TOO
[09:36] <nekostar> ~_~
[09:36] <Amaranth> JamieBE: Use a drawer.
[09:36] <deizel> JamieBE, cause its for n00bs, try something more customizable ie. not-Gnome
[09:37] <nekostar> i cant lose this 200 gigs of data
[09:37] <arto> gfxstyler, then maybe upgrade your kernel? what does uname -a give?
[09:37] <nekostar> what.
[09:37] <nekostar> can.
[09:37] <nekostar> i.
[09:37] <nekostar> do.
[09:37] <nekostar> ???????????????
[09:37] <Amaranth> deizel: You're looking for a kick?
[09:37] <Amaranth> !enter
[09:37] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[09:37] <deizel> Amaranth, the truth.
[09:37] <gfxstyler> arto: why upgrade? i need to disable that framebuffer stuff i think
[09:37] <shawnr_> what do I need to install to get amarok to play mp3?
[09:37] <Splix> dr_willis, it's true.. done that.. just as root.. but i have done chown on a earlyer verisjon :)
[09:37] <msikma> Hey guys, do you know of any documentation on how to make/edit a Metacity theme?
[09:37] <gfxstyler> arto: 2.6.15-26-686
[09:37] <nekostar> !restricted formats
[09:37] <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
[09:37] <tapio_> How do i change keyindex?
[09:37] <nekostar> thats for u shawnr_
[09:37] <Splix> but, whatever... i'll see on premissions
[09:37] <Amaranth> deizel: Whatever you might think about it GNOME vs KDE vs XFCE vs GrandmasWM is offtopic here.
[09:38] <msikma> I would like to change around a window border, but I can't seem to find anything on its XML format.
[09:38] <arto> gfxstyler, I was giving an alternative for recompiling.. perhaps a new kernel would act better. But no, you are already up2date.
[09:38] <LordTureis> Richv, what am I supposed to be looking for?
 JamieBE: why would you want to add more root menus? << Because I want to, and this is Linux, so I should be able to.
[09:38] <nekostar> Amaranth, got any help for recovering a supposedly lost partition ?
[09:38] <Amaranth> JamieBE: And you can, you have the source code.
[09:38] <nekostar> !_______________!
[09:38] <ubotu> I know nothing about _______________! - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[09:38] <deizel> Amaranth, don't flamebait tbh.
[09:38] <gfxstyler> arto: i hate ati, i just want to have a second xserver running next to my xgl server, so i can use glsl stuff
[09:38] <Amaranth> nekostar: Nope, never had to deal with it, sorry.
[09:38] <Amaranth> nekostar: What do you mean dead?
[09:38] <Amaranth> err, lost
[09:38] <nekostar> shit.
[09:38] <shawnr_> nekostar, no. all my other audio players play mp3s. just not amarok
[09:38] <nekostar> i mean
[09:38] <gfxstyler> arto: the xgl server uses the mesa opengl libs which are 1.2 and have no glsl support for me
[09:39] <nekostar> that when i reinstalled dapper
[09:39] <Amaranth> shawnr_: install the libxine-extracodecs package
[09:39] <nekostar> my one partition on /dev/hdb == /dev/hdb1 went away
[09:39] <Amaranth> shawnr_: it's in universe
[09:39] <JamieBE> OK, what SHOULD I be using that I can customise fully, and still have lots of support for? KDE?
[09:39] <nekostar> so i tried cfdisk to remake the partition
[09:39] <Amaranth> shawnr_: what does gparted say is there?
[09:39] <Richv> LordTureis: look at the top of the screen -- it should show you separate lines for Cpu0, Cpu1, etc.
[09:39] <nekostar> but it claims there is no filesystem on the hdd
[09:39] <Amaranth> err, wrong person
[09:39] <Amaranth> nekostar: what does gparted claim is there?
[09:39] <Richv> Hit the '?' key you'll see this for the '1' key:
[09:39] <nekostar> Amaranth, gives the big ol /!\
[09:39] <Richv> Toggle SMP view: '1' single/separate states; 'I' Irix/Solaris mode
[09:39] <Amaranth> JamieBE: KDE's menus are just as bad.
[09:40] <neuromancer_> hole dende rianxo
[09:40] <Amaranth> JamieBE: They've got just the all-in-one KMenu.
[09:40] <arto> gfxstyler, I am sorry to say I am not that experienced to understand that level. But you're right.. I, too, will never buy ati again.
[09:40] <LordTureis> Richv, it alternates between Cpu0 and Cpu (s)
[09:40] <Amaranth> nekostar: hrm
[09:40] <Amaranth> nekostar: what does fdisk say?
[09:40] <nekostar> and i know its there
[09:40] <JamieBE> Amaranth: is that bad? And if not Gnome, then what...? Windows?!
[09:40] <LordTureis> Richv, "?" doesn't seem to do anything
[09:40] <nekostar>    Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
[09:40] <nekostar> /dev/hdb1               1       24792   199141708+  83  Linux
[09:41] <JamieBE> Hehe - J/K!
[09:41] <narr> problem: i'm using xfce (server installation + xfce) and now i'm wondering if it is possible to shutdown the computer by pressing the shutdown-button in xfce...
[09:41] <mikearthur> 2.6.17-5.16 = kernel source 2.6.17.16 or 2.6.17.5?
[09:41] <shawnr_> Amaranth, thanks that did it ;)
[09:41] <Amaranth> nekostar: tell fdisk to write out the partition table, reboot, get all of your files off that partition, repartition the drive
[09:41] <Richv> LordTureis: Yep, so run a couple of hungry processes and you'll see them go to work on the different Cpu(s). Or am I not understanding your questions?
[09:41] <nekostar> brb ty
[09:42] <susscorfa> i want to backup several folders to my usb disk regulair what is the best way to do that writing a rsync script ?
[09:42] <deizel> Amaranth, how would I go about upgrading from libusb-0.1-4 (2:0.1.10a-22ubuntu1) to libusb-0.1-4 (>= 2:0.1.12)? kernel?
[09:42] <senko> quit
[09:42] <Strykyr> hello again. Installing xchat returns an error: cannot find glib. How do I fix this?
[09:43] <deizel> /quit
[09:43] <Amaranth> deizel: don't use edgy packages on dapper
[09:43] <LordTureis> ok thanks Richv, I just wasn't sure that the smp thing was actually working
[09:43] <deizel> Amaranth, its a dependency for my razer copperhead drivers :<<
[09:43] <Amaranth> deizel: you'd have to use edgy to use it then
[09:43] <sethk> Strykyr, Strykyr are you installing from source?
[09:43] <deizel> Amaranth, kta
[09:44] <sethk> Strykyr, if you are using apt-get or synaptic, the dependency on glib is resolved automatically.
[09:44] <Amaranth> Strykyr: install the xchat-gnome package
[09:44] <Fjodor> Which programs are good for reencoding mp3 files at a lower bitrate and copying the id3 tags over?
[09:44] <deizel> Amaranth, would there be more chance of one of my two soundcards working on Edgy?
[09:44] <Strykyr> apt-get install xchat-gnome?
[09:44] <ubuntu> Hello, I Don't speak english....
[09:44] <Amaranth> Strykyr: yeah
[09:44] <ucordes> xchat rules.. does anybody know where i can get a nice tray plugin for gnome?
[09:44] <Strykyr> Thank You
[09:44] <sethk> ubuntu, hello, that's good, we don't understand english
[09:44] <Amaranth> ubuntu: what language do you speak?
[09:45] <Amaranth> deizel: maybe
[09:45] <Amaranth> deizel: do they work on dapper?
[09:45] <LordTureis> Is there a way I can get the gnome-system-monitor to show both processors?  It did that before.
[09:45] <Amaranth> LordTureis: it should by default
[09:45] <Amaranth> LordTureis: do you have an smp kernel installed?
[09:45] <cmatheson> is dmix not enabled by defaujlt in dapper? (i had read that it would be, but it doesn't seem to be on my box)
[09:45] <SonicChao> gAIM constinently crashes in Ubuntu, and I've been having to use Kopete, which uses too much CPU memory.
[09:45] <Richv> LordTureis: I don't know, I'm a KDE guy.
[09:45] <LordTureis> yes, and I've reinstalled it twice
[09:45] <deizel> Amaranth, afraid not, well not from default installation, I have been in to make sure they are seen and not muted etc, but no sound.
[09:46] <deizel> SonicChao, try gaim2.0beta
[09:46] <Amaranth> cmatheson: it is for most cards
[09:46] <ucordes> no tray plugins for xchat??
[09:46] <SonicChao> deizel: Is gaim known to crash?
[09:46] <LordTureis> i'm booting from a grub bootfloppy at the moment, would that do it?  I've made sure that the most recent menu.lst is always on the floppy.
[09:46] <cmatheson> Amaranth: the ens-1371? (or how can i find out if it's enabled for my card or not?)
[09:46] <deizel> SonicChao, mine never, but i upgraded it anyway
[09:46] <Amaranth> LordTureis: nope, that wouldn't change anything
[09:46] <Amaranth> cmatheson: I dunno, crimsun is the sound guy.
[09:46] <LordTureis> How about Xgl and Compiz?
[09:46] <SonicChao> deizel: Ok. Do i remove the current version?
[09:47] <Amaranth> LordTureis: nope
[09:47] <Richv> Amaranth: Newbie question: What's the protocol for repeating questions -- should I ask a question more than once if it doesn't get address in 10 mins or so?
[09:47] <ucordes> lordturies: that sounds interesting. are there any grub boot cds?
[09:47] <gnomefreak> !repeat > Richv
[09:47] <LordTureis> should I try reinstalling gnome-system-monitor?
[09:47] <Amaranth> LordTureis: if you open a terminal and run 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' does it show two CPUs?
[09:47] <Amaranth> Richv: 10 minutes is about right
[09:47] <Amaranth> Richv: Please ask again.
[09:47] <LordTureis> Amaranth, no
[09:47] <Richv> Hey anybody, I've got a Dell PowerEdge server with a Megaraid PERC 4e/Di controller. How do I get status info in /proc/megaraid like I used to in Debian Sarge/custom kernel?
[09:48] <Amaranth> LordTureis: Then Ubuntu isn't seeing both your CPUs.
[09:48] <Amaranth> LordTureis: what does 'uname -a' say?
[09:48] <LordTureis> Linux user-0c933nl 2.6.15-26-686 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jul 17 20:14:14 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
[09:48] <Ice-9> AWAY
[09:49] <Allen> hey my install is acting funn
[09:49] <deizel> SonicChao, i used Automatix.. http://easylinux.info/wiki/Ubuntu#Installing_additional_software_.28Automatix.29
[09:49] <Amaranth> LordTureis: weird, i dunno
[09:49] <dr_willis> :P
[09:49] <LordTureis> I dunno either
[09:49] <Amaranth> !automatix
[09:49] <ubotu> Automatix is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. For help with and discussion of automatix please join #automatix.
[09:49] <Splix> What is wrong with this line? I want to mount my fat32 sda1 with user permittion: "/dev/sda1       /media/sda1     vfat	defaults,utf8,ie umask-0222,gid=46 0       1" ?
[09:50] <SonicChao> deizel: I'm worried about using automatix, because I
[09:50] <SonicChao> 've heard so many horror stories about it.*
[09:50] <deizel> SonicChao, because...
[09:50] <dr_willis> Best advice - learn to install the stuff yourself.
[09:50] <Splix> :)
[09:50] <deizel> SonicChao, :)
[09:50] <Nekow42> Automatix issues have mostly been ironed out...
[09:50] <Splix> guessed learing was the way of this channal :)
[09:51] <deizel> SonicChao, well it worked okay for me. If you want you only have to check the gaim option
[09:51] <Allen> when I start ubuntu normally form grub the boot goes find untill I see something about a kernal then the screen gets all funky colored and boot stops if I boot from memtest if works fine but my widescree doesn't work what is wrong?
[09:51] <dr_willis> Except the the Licenseing issues... and  the hair loss problem.
[09:51] <dr_willis> :P
[09:51] <LordTureis> should I just try reinstalling Ubuntu?  would it perhaps detect both processors this time around?
[09:51] <deizel> SonicChao, more here: http://getautomatix.com/wiki/index.php?title=Automatix_for_%28X%29Ubuntu#Capabilities
[09:51] <SonicChao> deizel: Ok, I'll try it I guess, first I'm going to reinstall gaim...
[09:51] <Amaranth> Splix: /dev/sda1       /media/sda1  vfat    iocharset=utf8,umask=000,user,auto   0       0
[09:51] <Blissex> Allen: perhaps the video driver autoselected is not quite the right one.
[09:51] <Splix> Amaranth, Thanks :)
[09:51] <bartist> bonjour
[09:52] <bartist> hi all
[09:52] <Allen> how do I fix that Blissex?
[09:52] <Blissex> Allen: try to boot into test mode and see if that works...
[09:52] <ucordes> Splix: this is mine /dev/hda3	/media/fat32	vfat    rw,user,auto,utf8,umask=007,gid=46  0  0
[09:52] <Allen> I did but no support for my widescreen
[09:52] <Amaranth> LordTureis: No, that probably wouldn't help.
[09:52] <Amaranth> LordTureis: What processor is it?
[09:52] <Blissex> Allen: it may be the widescreen or the video card chipset.
[09:52] <bartist> guys, what is the default english in a ubuntu installation?
[09:52] <nomike> hi
[09:52] <LordTureis> Intel Pentium 4?  What are you looking for here?
[09:52] <Amaranth> bartist: it's american english
[09:53] <bartist> i had australian english ....
[09:53] <Blissex> Allen: anyhow you can search for widescreen mode lines for your monitor.
[09:53] <nomike> how do I call Menu - System - Users and Groups from an xterm?
[09:53] <konstantin_> hi :)
[09:53] <Amaranth> LordTureis: Pentium D then? I'm out of ideas, sorry.
[09:53] <Allen> it keeps setting it to 1024x768 in my xconf , Blissex
[09:53] <bartist> and it did not asked me what i wanted
[09:53] <bartist> and i had a britton version of firefox ...
[09:53] <LordTureis> is there any reason I couldn't try a slightly older kernel and see if that works?
[09:53] <Blissex> Allen: almost surely because the X server configuration file does not contain the right mode line for the actual size of the screen.
[09:53] <Amaranth> bartist: System->Administration->Language Support
[09:53] <Amaranth> LordTureis: try it
[09:54] <SonicChao> deizel: It says it couldn't remove because apps depend on it.
[09:54] <Amaranth> !fixres
[09:54] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type this in a console: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  -  To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[09:54] <LordTureis> k, cya
[09:54] <acojlo> do I need EVMS? it's simple desktop laptop system with 4 primary partitions (sata drive)
[09:54] <Allen> how do I get it to boot normally, blissex?
[09:54] <Blissex> Allen: oops, can't remember.
[09:55] <Amaranth> Allen: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[09:55] <mjr> acojlo, no
[09:55] <acojlo> mjr, thanks
[09:55] <deizel> SonicChao, did you try marking it for reinstallation in Synaptic?
[09:55] <konstantin_> i have a question: i've used gentoo linux for quite a while and i am really happy about it. well, i was... it turns out, that i have less and less time which i can spend dealing with my computer, what i need now is a fully working "computer". i owe a toshiba satellite pro m30 notebook... my question: will ubuntu run on it?(_fully_) i don't need fancy stuff, just the basics...
[09:55] <Allen> thanks Amaranth
[09:55] <bartist> Amaranth: bartist: System->Administration->Language Support
[09:55] <bartist> is says default language for NEW users
[09:55] <SonicChao> deizel: No, in Add/Remove...I'll try Synaptic.
[09:55] <bartist> do you think it will also afect my current username?
[09:56] <deizel> SonicChao, gaim & gaim-data
[09:56] <Allen> oh yeah what is the default root password...my sudo's don't work
[09:56] <Amaranth> konstantin_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptopsToshiba
[09:56] <JaZy84> i've got a question for you guys i got a dell laptop e1505, my school uses PEAP-eap , i've found some stuff on google, but when i follow the instructinos i don't seem to get anywhere, my question is is ubuntu planning on adding this to the wiki as it's becoming popular (both ubuntu and peap-eap, at university level)
[09:56] <Nekow42> Allen: There is no root account
[09:56] <ag0ny> can someone help me with gtkrc file and what entry is for the font color of the text in the gnome panels?
[09:57] <SonicChao> deizel: Ok, reinstalling now.
[09:57] <deizel> Allen, your user accounts password, the one u typed during installation
[09:57] <deizel> SonicChao, gl.
[09:57] <Allen> so what password to I use when I sudo
[09:57] <Allen> thanks deizel
[09:57] <bartist> and for instance if i want DD/MM/YYYY instead of MM/DD/YYYY
[09:57] <konstantin_> Amaranth, thanks!
[09:57] <bartist> what should i do?
[09:58] <discouraged> Allen, your user password, provided your user is a member of the "sudo" group
[09:58] <acojlo> dmesg outputs "Driver 'sd' needs updating - please use bus_type methods". means what?
[09:58] <Amaranth> JaZy84: Perhaps try http://paginas.fe.up.pt/~ei02069/at/ipw2200-peap-ubuntu.html ?
[09:58] <Nekow42> Allen: When you use sudo, enter the same password as the password of the account you're logged in with
[09:58] <Allen> thanks
[09:58] <bartist> how to enable french and spanish in openoffice?
[09:58] <deizel> apache rocks on ubuntu
[09:58] <Amaranth> acojlo: that's a developer warning
[09:59] <acojlo> ok
[09:59] <Amaranth> acojlo: nothing you can do to fix it unless you know kernel programming
[09:59] <deizel> i love how u can just create a home/public_html dir and u can access it from localhost/~username
[09:59] <mcphail> bartist: I assume you install the appropriate language packages
[09:59] <tapio_> How do i change keyindex ?
[09:59] <Allen> I am still stuck on the screen thing though how do I get the screen to work when I boot normally, it works under test what do I need to copy?
[09:59] <acojlo> Amaranth, thanks I understand - it's warning (hint) for developers
[09:59] <Amaranth> yeah
[09:59] <SonicChao> deizel: Doesn't seem to be crashing...
[09:59] <deizel> \o/
[10:00] <SonicChao> deizel: Maybe the preinstalled version got screwed or something. =D
[10:00] <yggdrasil> whats a good chess game for ubuntu ?
[10:00] <mcphail> deizel: that is a standard apache feature, not exclusive to ubuntu
[10:00] <SonicChao> deizel: =(
[10:00] <SonicChao> deizel: Nevermind, just crasehd.
[10:00] <deizel> SonicChao, :<
[10:00] <mcphail> yggdrasil: they say crafty gives a good game
[10:00] <deizel> mcphail, yeh i assumed so, its not standard on windows though, far from it.
[10:00] <yggdrasil> crafry huh
[10:00] <SonicChao> deizel: I've been told I have to many librarys.
[10:01] <SonicChao> deizel: Could that be it?
[10:01] <yggdrasil> im just trying to get something up and running ill  try it.
[10:01] <Amaranth> Ok guys, I've got a meeting to go to, if you need an op please says "!ops" (only if you really need one).
[10:01] <mcphail> deizel: you can set similar up in windows i think
[10:01] <deizel> mcphail, yeh i'm sure you could if you really wanted, but its not default.
[10:02] <deizel> SonicChao, *shrug* couldnt say tbh, sounds like a crappy error message
[10:02] <yggdrasil> mcphail do youknow if its in the reps ? apt-cache serch yields nothing :(
[10:02] <SonicChao> deizel: It didn't say that, I was told so by someone else.
[10:02] <linuxboy> is dapper-backports open yet?
[10:02] <mumbles-zzz> question - ive got a comtpuer that dosent boot from cd - can i make a floppey disk boot so i can install ubuntu ?
[10:02] <SonicChao> deizel: It gives me no warning, it just crashes. Just. Like. That.
[10:02] <SonicChao> deizel: Not even an error message. =(
[10:02] <deizel> SonicChao, :(
[10:03] <SonicChao> deizel: And it only happens when I'm on MSN. =(
[10:03] <deizel> SonicChao, i have 1543 packages installed on a 5.5gb hdd
[10:03] <deizel> SonicChao, do you only use msn?
[10:03] <SonicChao> deizel: I use the big three, Yahoo, MSN and AIM.
[10:03] <SonicChao> deizel: But, almost everyone I know is on MSN. So it's essential.
[10:04] <Nekow42> SonicChao: Did you try starting it in a console?
[10:04] <SonicChao> Nekow42: No, I didn't.
[10:04] <Nekow42> SonicChao: That is usually where the error messages get dumped...
[10:05] <SonicChao> Nekow42: How would I start it on a console, by typing "gaim"?
[10:05] <Nekow42> SonicChao: probably.
[10:06] <deizel> anyone got compiz working?
[10:06] <Nekow42> SonicChao: Yep, it's "gaim", on this machine anyway
[10:07] <tapio_> How do i change keyindex ?
[10:07] <SonicChao> Nekow42: Ok, will wait for it to crash, and I'll tell you what it says.
[10:07] <Nekow42> SonicChao: If worse comes to very worse, you can always get aMSN
[10:09] <capi> I know there's a application I can use to remove using the desktop folder, but I forget its name?
[10:09] <capi> like preferences or something
[10:09] <deizel> SonicChao, or this http://i.iinfo.cz/urs/centericq-112530890621370.png ://
[10:10] <SonicChao> deizel and Nekow42: this is what a terminal told me: http://pastebin.ca/112266
[10:10] <rodrigo_> hello
[10:10] <deizel> SonicChao, sounds like the skin you are using
[10:11] <Nekow42> SonicChao: Was it a long time between lines 4 and 5?
[10:11] <SonicChao> Nekow42: Only 2 minutes.
[10:11] <rodrigo_> como instalar plugins flash for mozilla-firefox?
[10:11] <deizel> hmm
[10:12] <Nekow42> SonicChao: Try changing your Gnome theme... See if it DOES do anything.
[10:12] <SonicChao> Nekow42: I should try it again in another (non) Polycorbonate Dark skin?
[10:12] <SonicChao> Nekow42: Ok.
[10:12] <Strykyr> how do i apt-get tcl?
[10:12] <NeoMatrixJR1> don't know if anyone can give me a hand with this, but I'm trying to "make" a program called upslug2.  it returns the following: http://rafb.net/paste/results/31MeZv63.html
[10:12] <Nekow42> Strykyr: sudo apt-get install tcl
[10:12] <dr_willis> !info tlc
[10:12] <ubotu> Package tlc does not exist in dapper
[10:12] <deizel> SonicChao, apart from that all i can suggest really that is may be worth installing the gaim2beta3 incase your problem has been fixed in it.
[10:13] <omong_kosong> !info tlc
[10:13] <ubotu> Package tlc does not exist in dapper
[10:13] <Nekow42> !info tcl
[10:13] <ubotu> Package tcl does not exist in dapper
[10:13] <dr_willis> apt-cache search tlc
[10:13] <SonicChao> Nekow42: I changed to the "Human" theme.
[10:13] <deizel> NeoMatrixJR1, sounds like bad programming to me
[10:13] <SonicChao> Nekow42: I'll try it again.
[10:14] <scrappy_> oh jds linux how i hate you
[10:14] <scrappy_> er wrong chan sorry
[10:14] <deizel> ^^
[10:14] <vash> can anyone help me out with X and my nvidia card, i keep getting this error after i isntalled and modprobe the nvidia module
[10:15] <Nekow42> vash: never ask to ask, just ask
[10:15] <SonicChao> deizel: Well, there is no skin errors at least....but it just crashed again...
[10:15] <ballpointcarrot> what's the error?
[10:15] <SonicChao> !ask > vash
[10:15] <Nekow42> SonicChao: Pastebin please?
[10:15] <SonicChao> Nekow42: Exact same as last time...just read from line 5 down.
[10:16] <vash> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19487 thats the error
[10:16] <vash> i even runned, lsmod | grep -i nvidia, and the module is there
[10:16] <dv_> anyone here uses eterm?
[10:16] <SonicChao> !anyone > dv_
[10:17] <ramon> hi, i'm looking for a good download manager for gnome?
[10:17] <technel> When I originally partitioned the disks, I gave Ubuntu 40 gigs of space and Windows 120gb, but now I want to allocate a lot more of the space to Ubuntu. Is there a *simple* way to do this (that isn't going to risk messing up my harddrive; I can't deal with that now)?
[10:17] <dv_> well, I am using it, but it does not handle utf-8 chars well
[10:17] <Nekow42> SonicChao: Umm, final tip is , try that other version of gaim, OR reset the gaim config by deleting it OR use aMSN
[10:17] <dv_> like ""
[10:17] <dv_> it prints 2 chars instead
[10:17] <dv_> I noticed the same in xterm and asterm
[10:17] <dv_> aterm
[10:17] <SonicChao> Nekow42: Let me try second tup
[10:17] <deizel> !info downman
[10:17] <ubotu> Package downman does not exist in dapper
[10:17] <SonicChao> !enter > dv_
[10:18] <SonicChao> Nekow42: How do you delete Gaim config?
[10:18] <deizel> ramon, http://downman.sourceforge.net/
[10:18] <omong_kosong> technel: try qtparted
[10:18] <dv_> well yeah, but does anyone know how to handle this?
[10:18] <SonicChao> dv_: Say it again, this time all in one line. =)
[10:18] <Nekow42> dv_ I wish I knew, been having utf8 issues all over the place
[10:18] <technel> omong_kosong, Alright, thanks
[10:19] <ballpointcarrot> vash: that looks like it came from xorg... did you edit your xorg.conf?
[10:19] <ramon> thank!
[10:19] <omong_kosong> technel: welcome
[10:19] <SonicChao> Nekow42: But how to delete gaim config??
[10:19] <SmrtJustin> I have deb.opera.com in my sources.list file so I can get updates to my Opera browser, but today, when theres an update, upgrade and dist-upgrade keeps saying that it will be kept back... why's that?
[10:19] <Nekow42> SonicChao: 1 sec let me find it...
[10:19] <Allen> my ubuntu install only works in recovory mod what is up with that?
[10:20] <SonicChao> Nekow42: Ok.
[10:20] <scrappy_> Allen: might need a little more information :-)
[10:20] <haller> hi. does anyone of you know a nice application to create (gif) animations? i know gimp can do it, but the handling is not confortable.
[10:20] <linuxd00d> allen: have you removed the boot disk, or install cd
[10:20] <Allen> linuxd00d yes I have
[10:21] <Nekow42> SonicChao: delete the .gaim file in your home dir
[10:21] <gus> hi guys
[10:21] <linuxd00d> hi
[10:21] <Nekow42> SonicChao: This will reset your gaim to default, so be warned
[10:21] <SonicChao> Nekow42: .gaim directory? ok.
[10:21] <Allen> when I boot normally it gets to the kernal message then the screen freaks out and nothing else happeans
[10:21] <SonicChao> Nekow42: It's ok.
[10:21] <Nekow42> SonicChao: Yes, the directory (sorry)
[10:22] <Allen> but when I boot in recovary mode of rom the livecd it work just fine
[10:22] <linuxd00d> Allen this is a last resort but have you tried to re-install ubuntu
[10:22] <Allen> yes
[10:22] <linuxd00d> wow
[10:22] <SonicChao> Nekow42: Ok, now I see, that deletes my accounts and stuff.
[10:22] <SmrtJustin> hmm this may have something to do with it lol: opera: Depends: libqt3c102-mt (>= 3:3.2.1) but it is not installable
[10:22] <gus> im trying to compile a very simple c code that has a: #include <gdome.h>, but gcc dosent found it
[10:22] <SmrtJustin> E: Broken packages
[10:22] <slipk> hello, i just installed my nvidia drivers manually but i keep getting this error when i start X, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19487, and i know the "nvidia" module is there 'cause lsmod shows it
[10:22] <|rubikcu|> haller: which point about the gimp is not comfortable?
[10:22] <gus> i have the header
[10:22] <Allen> linuxd00d it does the same thing on the live cd unless I choose my screen resolution form the vga tab
[10:23] <gus> header is at: /usr/include/libgdome/gdome.h
[10:23] <lmosher> I'm running ubuntu and I need to install wine from source (because I need to apply a patch). I know I can use apt-get build-dep, but after that, is there an easier method than manually downloading the source and installing by hand?
[10:23] <gus> and when i had the -I/usr/include/libgdome/gdome.h
[10:23] <SonicChao> Nekow42: I can go back to the dark skin soon right?
[10:24] <gus> is says that glib.h is missing
[10:24] <scrappy_> slipk: youll have to google for the steps to manually install nvidia it is a little involved. also if you do that any time you upgrade you might have to reinstall
[10:24] <gus> but i also have that one
[10:24] <lmosher> i.e. is there an automated method to install the patch and build it, or will I need to do it by hand) not really a problem, I'm just curious
[10:24] <Nekow42> SonicChao: Any time, the issue was not with the skin
[10:24] <Strykyr> package tcl is not available
[10:24] <SonicChao> Nekow42: =D It doesn't seem to be crashing....
[10:24] <Strykyr> that was with the apt-get install tcl
[10:25] <SonicChao> Nekow42: Nope, just did, always with MSN. I'm going to use aMSN.
[10:25] <SonicChao> Nekow42: Thanks for trying to help. =)
[10:25] <abo> how can I invite someone to an msn conversation in gaim?
[10:25] <Nekow42> SonicChao: Sure, and if you really want GAIM, we've confirmed it's not a config error, so try an older/newer package
[10:26] <SonicChao> Nekow42: Ok.
[10:26] <haller> |rubikcu|: if want to edit a gif animation every frame is shown in a layer... there is no timeline or sth like that..
[10:26] <zi3d4n3> Please
[10:26] <zi3d4n3> November 7th, 2005 			 			 			 		 	   	 	
[10:26] <zi3d4n3> i need help
[10:26] <SonicChao> zi3d4n3: What is your problem?
[10:26] <ManiacKY> Okay. I made a mistake and was hoping someone could tell me how I could fix it without reinstalling. I did a apt-get install linux-686 because I noticed I wasn't using both processors in linux. But in doing that I realized I should have really dont apt-get install linux-686-smp instead. I went ahead and did the smp verison after installing the non smp verison and now it says smp is installed with apt-get but top and all my applications still register only
[10:26] <zi3d4n3> s there someone with experiencewitht Wisegroup LTD, MP8866 DUAL USB
[10:27] <zi3d4n3> hi
[10:27] <ManiacKY> dont=done
[10:27] <Nekow42> ManiacKY: Have you removed the non-smp version?
[10:27] <LordTureis> ManiacKY, I was in here 5 min ago with the same problem
[10:27] <zi3d4n3> SonicChao the Wisegroup LTD, MP8866 DUAL USB wont repsond, the digital and analog controls would repsond in emulators like zsnes and mamez
[10:27] <zi3d4n3> mamex
[10:27] <scrappy_> ManiacKY: im assuming you rebooted after install
[10:27] <Strykyr> i tried to apt-get install tcl
[10:28] <LordTureis> cat /proc/cpuinfo only shows 1 processor?
[10:28] <lmosher> Is there a way to use apt-get --build to install from source BUT apply a patch?
[10:28] <ManiacKY> Neow42 I did a apt-get remove linux-686 but that didn't help.
[10:28] <wiking> i have been instaal vlc with plugin to firefox but when i want to see tv in internet, it say : "no picture"
[10:28] <ManiacKY> scrappy_ Yup I rebooted
[10:28] <Strykyr> and i get an error package tcl is not available
[10:28] <warlocky> I got a question for you guys, does the server look in a "critical" condition if you take a look at this page? http://Dust2.mine.nu/sysinfo
[10:28] <scrappy_> ManiacKY: what processor is this?
[10:28] <warlocky> I mean, does it look like its using to much cpu/ram ?
[10:29] <|rubikcu|> haller: ok, that's a point :-)
[10:29] <ManiacKY> LordTureis No, Actually it shows two. 0 and 1
[10:29] <mcphail> Strykyr: maybe you should try installing tk. It'll probably come with that
[10:29] <lmosher> Strykyr, are you trying to install TCL/TK (the programming interface... etc.)
[10:29] <ManiacKY> scrappy_: Xenons 2.0
[10:29] <Strykyr> no
[10:29] <ManiacKY> rr Xeons
[10:29] <Strykyr> trying to install an eggdrop
[10:29] <Strykyr> requires tcl
[10:29] <SonicChao> zi3d4n3: I don't know the answer, it's just channel rules that you always state the problem.
[10:29] <LordTureis> ManiacKY: crud, that was my problem
[10:29] <lmosher> Strykyr, damn I used to use a good version of TCL, wish I could remember it.. ahng on
[10:30] <scrappy_> good argument for amd i guess ;-)
[10:30] <SonicChao> Is there a way to make aMSN less ugly?
[10:30] <mcphail> Strykyr: apt-get install tcl8.4-dev
[10:30] <ManiacKY> LordTureis How you fix it or your still broke? ;)
[10:30] <zi3d4n3> ubunto DD 6.0.6 recongizes my gamepad, SONICCHAO, but it doesnt use the digital or analog pads....
[10:30] <Strykyr> tk is unavailable also
[10:30] <scrappy_> ManiacKY: there are other smp kernels maybe try another 686 one
[10:30] <LordTureis> still broken
[10:31] <Richv> warlocky: Looks fine to me. Looks like a server that's working on something.
[10:31] <LordTureis> I tried downgrading, but my NVIdia driver didn't like that and wouldn't let me start gdm
[10:31] <SonicChao> zi3d4n3: I. Don't. Know. Your. Answer!
[10:31] <warlocky> Richv, yeah a gameserver. Just asking if it looks overkilled or something, does it look ok?
[10:31] <zi3d4n3> the game pad is a Sony Playstation1 controlller connected via Wisegroup LTD, MP8866 DUAL USB
[10:31] <warlocky> anything you can tell me, like if its using much cpu, and how much ram in a total amount of %'s ?
[10:32] <Richv> Looks fine. You may want to try to get load below 1.0 if you're really wanting low latency. The load average says you've got 1.62 jobs waiting for a CPU, averaged over the last minute.
[10:32] <zi3d4n3> SonicChao: I understand. Thanks for your time.!
[10:32] <LordTureis> ManiacKY: just to be sure, gnome-system-monitor only shows 1 processor for you?
[10:32] <SonicChao> zi3d4n3: Try asking again. =)
[10:33] <LordTureis> or are you using Kubuntu?
[10:33] <dura> Does anyone know why clamav isn't in apt?
[10:33] <ManiacKY> LordTureis I'm not using gnome, I'm terminal only install. Top says one processer. and so does VMware
[10:33] <LordTureis> k
[10:33] <mcphail> dura: it is
[10:33] <minerale> The update manager says an update failed - 404 not found - libtotem-plpArser1
[10:33] <ManiacKY> And I've recompiled vmware after the kernel upgrade and still just one processor.
[10:34] <dura> mcphail: When I try to aptitude install what this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixAmavisNew   mentions, packages aren't found.
[10:34] <dura> And spamassassin is broken
[10:34] <scrappy_> ManiacKY: you might consider a bios fash too
[10:34] <scrappy_> ManiacKY: or flash
[10:34] <tich> hi. i have lines that run through my dvd playback when it is full screen. does anyone know how to get rid of them?
[10:34] <dura> Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "clamav-daemon"
[10:34] <dura> Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "clamav-freshclam"
[10:34] <ManiacKY> scrappy_ Its running the latest dell bios for this model.
[10:35] <Nekow42> !easysource > dura
[10:35] <mcphail> dura: sudo apt-get install clamav should work
[10:36] <deizel> dura, failing that, Automatix can install it for you.
[10:36] <dura> E: Package clamav has no installation candidate
[10:36] <mcphail> dura: you need to add the extra repos. Check the private message ubotu has sent you
[10:36] <finalbeta> beagle, I've added / to the searchpath. Now beagle doesn't search my home folder. how can I fix this?
[10:37] <dura> mcphail: I've enabled the extra repositories.
[10:37] <dura> But I will look...
[10:37] <mcphail> dura: have you run "sudo apt-get update"?
[10:37] <deizel> !info clamav

[10:38] <deizel> :<
[10:38] <warlocky> Richv, thanks anyways man, highly appriciated.
[10:38] <mcphail> dura: post your /etc/apt/sources.list to the pastebin
[10:38] <Twist> Howdy
[10:38] <Richv> I've got a Dell PowerEdge server with a Megaraid PERC 4e/Di controller. How do I get status info in /proc/megaraid like I used to in Debian Sarge/custom kernel?
[10:39] <bignose_> well.. i'm mighty embarrassed. bridged networking wasn't working in vmware for me, because i was bridging to the wrong device.
[10:39] <bignose_> i think.
[10:39] <deizel> u think.. ;o
[10:41] <dura> mcphail: http://duralinux.lfs1.net/config/sources.list
[10:41] <Twist> I need a command-line VoIP application...can anyone suggest one?
[10:41] <Twist> It can't have any GUI
[10:41] <tony^> hi all
[10:41] <MetaMorfoziS> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sl5Nv2hOkYE
[10:41] <nikin> Twist can i ask why you cant?
[10:41] <MetaMorfoziS> lol:D
[10:41] <Nekow42> dura: Enable universe
[10:42] <Twist> nikin: I need it for a server
[10:42] <Twist> and would prefer not to install X
[10:42] <dura> my bad
[10:42] <mcphail> dura: you _don't_ have dapper universe enabled - only dapper-backports universe
[10:42] <Stormx2> How do I do a search from the command line in ubuntu?
[10:42] <dura> 30 too manu irons in the fire heh
[10:42] <arto> Are intel graphics card acclerators on laptops supported by Ubuntu? I am trying to get away from ati, but I also don't find notebooks with nvidia cards.
[10:42] <dura> mcphail:  Yes... I appologize.
[10:43] <dura> Thought I had enabled it...
[10:43] <nikin> arto: yes
[10:43] <dura> I manage 5 Dapper servers here heh.
[10:43] <nikin> i use it :D
[10:43] <mcphail> :)
[10:43] <tulio> !psi
[10:43] <ubotu> I know nothing about psi - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[10:43] <Nekow42> dura: Look here for a good sources.list -> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_add_extra_repositories
[10:43] <arto> nikin: Any knowledge of their quality?
[10:43] <dura> Nekow42: ty

[10:44] <stefg> Stormx2: search for what?
[10:44] <mcphail> Stormx2: grep
[10:44] <Twist> So no suggestions for a command line VoIP application?
[10:44] <nikin> arto: they are not designed for gaming, the Intel Extreme G2 cards provide a performance like an Geforce2 MX200
[10:44] <Twist> Would anyone happen to have a libjingle package?
[10:44] <Nekow42> Stormx2: THere are a million ways
[10:44] <Stormx2> Sorry, for a file
[10:44] <[Wiebel] > does ubuntu know how to reads  (and writes to) ufs2 disks per default?
[10:44] <Stormx2> or folder
[10:44] <nikin> the new intel ones should work to but i dont know much about them
[10:44] <mcphail> Stormx2: find or locate
[10:44] <stefg> locate, find, which
[10:44] <scrappy_> Stormx2: you can locate whatever or sudo  find / -name womething
[10:44] <Stormx2> just find? :) ok
[10:45] <Nekow42> Stormx2: Look at the man pages for find and locate
[10:45] <mcphail> Stormx2: find is a more complex command than locate. Have a read at the man page
[10:45] <Murfy^> hi
[10:45] <Nekow42> Murfy^: Ahoy
[10:45] <Murfy^> when i plug in a usb headset while dapper is running (or a usb mouse), it isn't working
[10:46] <Murfy^> i tried restarting udev, but still the same
[10:46] <Murfy^> when i reboot the computer, it works, but i don't like that :D
[10:47] <Strykyr> no...what linux
[10:47] <icecrash> hi
[10:47] <Nekow42> icecrash: Ahoy
[10:48] <Twist> Hm...is there some way to run X/KDE/Gnome on a separate "layer" so it is not a vulnerability on the server?
[10:48] <Twist> on my server*
[10:48] <icecrash> anyone with experience with cdimage suite?
[10:49] <mcphail> Twist: define "layer"
[10:49] <ricardo> does anybody know any other cool site like deviantart??
[10:49] <Nekow42> ricardo: That is an awfully general question to be asking in this help channel
[10:49] <Twist> mcphail: any sort of method of keeping the X server separate from anything else running
[10:50] <mcphail> Twist: Run the x server on a different machine
[10:50] <Twist> basically a way to keep my server secure while sitll having X running
[10:50] <Twist> not an option
[10:50] <Nekow42> !offtopic > ricardo
[10:50] <Twist> still*
[10:51] <devhen> Twist... what is unsecure about running X?
[10:51] <mcphail> Twist: your other services will be a larger security risk than X
[10:51] <Strykyr> can someone please help me get tcl installed?
[10:51] <Nekow42> Twist: What they said...
[10:51] <mcphail> Twist: some advocate running apache etc in a chroot jail
[10:51] <Twist> I'm just basing this on information I read, not personal experience
[10:51] <Twist> (unfortunately)
[10:52] <shawn_> im getting audacity compile errors for the beta version. can anyone help me out? http://pastebin.ca/112316
[10:52] <Twist> So pardon my ignorance
[10:52] <mcphail> Twist: Why do you want X on a server anyway?
[10:52] <Twist> mcphail: I need to run a VoIP client
[10:52] <Twist> but no command line VoIP clients exist, or not in any usable form.
[10:52] <toxicaway> Ubuntu livecd can be isntalled with Ubiquity right?
[10:52] <devhen> Twist: i'd say dont worry about it. all of the servers I run use X. ive never come across security problems
[10:53] <Twist> I was looking for something to use with Skype or GTalk, but I couldn't find anything
[10:53] <mcphail> Twist: X itself will be more secure than your VoIP client, I'll bet
[10:53] <Twist> devhen: thanks
[10:53] <Nekow42> shawn_: http://audacityteam.org/forum/thread/648
[10:53] <Twist> mcphail: Hah, didn't consider that
[10:53] <Twist> I was just hoping to find a command line only VoIP client...meh...X it is
[10:53] <mcphail> Twist: buy a router which supports VoIP directly
[10:54] <toxicaway> CAn someone please tell me abotu Ubiquity? If i install Ubuntu with Ubiquity on my HDD (from a livecd), will it come with a boot manager?
[10:54] <Twist> mcphail: The server is going to be elsewhere (renting a server), so I don't have many options in terms of hardware
[10:54] <mcphail> ok
[10:54] <dapet> Hallo again, I am BACK!!! :D Are there anyone there have experience with using the wireless negear WG111v2 USB adapter?
[10:54] <arto_> nikin, are you still there?
[10:54] <nikin> X on server is prefered by me to ... a lot of things easyer to manage.. but truly it depend on hardware
[10:54] <mcphail> Twist: so why are you running a VoIP client on a remote server???
[10:54] <nikin> arto_ yes
[10:55] <Twist> mcphail: hard to explain
[10:55] <Twist> but I need it
[10:55] <arto_> nikin: Just after receiving your last message, my computer freezed completely. I am checking the system log now.. can you help my find out why it freezed?
[10:55] <ManiacKY> what is the lrm file system?
[10:55] <nikin> arto_ maybe, what was runing at the time?
[10:56] <mcphail> Twist: if this is a remote box, you don't need an X server on that box
[10:56] <leibnitz> I have a question, I am running a breezy SMP on a dual core AMD and the system time is running about 10 times faster than it should be.
[10:56] <Twist> mcphail: why is that?
[10:56] <arto_> nikin: I think it will be hard to trace it that way. Why wouldn't I tell you the last messages in the system log?
[10:56] <leibnitz> the hardware clock stays right on though.
[10:56] <gdb> Twist: Because no one is looking at the screen.
[10:56] <mcphail> Twist: the X server is what runs on the local machine, connected to the display
[10:56] <arto_> nikin: cause in the last messages it says "bluetooth".. when I didn't connect any bluetooth devices.. perhaps this is the problem.
[10:57] <Twist> mcphail: I need some sort of GUI to run Skype/GTalk, no?
[10:57] <mcphail> Twist: the VoIP application is an X _client_
[10:57] <Twist> whether or not there is a display
[10:57] <Twist> mcphail: ok...
[10:57] <dapet> Now i Will make a great black ball of sympathy to me mu ha ha ha ha shhh it starts now.... I have worked on making my netgear WG111v2 wireless USB adapter working in a week now, that is hard, becuse there were a NEW solution all the times, but they never worked... Now you are my last solution, I have bin here in 2 days now (and with no positive result) and I don't know what to do :(
[10:58] <recon0> Is there any kind of stand-alone flash player for linux?
[10:58] <mcphail> Twist: the GUI (Xserver) runs on the local computer, while the application (Xclient) runs on your remote server
[10:58] <Twist> mcphail: I can't run anything locally, it has to all be done on the remote server
[10:59] <nikin> _arto?
[10:59] <Twist> Which is why this perdicament exists
[10:59] <mcphail> Twist: What do you mean "anything"?
[10:59] <tulio> !gpsim
[10:59] <ubotu> I know nothing about gpsim - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[10:59] <Twist> mcphail: No programs, nothing, can be run on my local computer. Everything must be run on the remote server.
[10:59] <finalbeta> !emule
[10:59] <ubotu> I know nothing about emule - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[10:59] <geirergoy> I have a problem with sound i Ubuntu. I just installed it, and everything worked fine. After a update, it echoes.
[10:59] <finalbeta> !e-mule
[10:59] <ubotu> I know nothing about e-mule - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[11:00] <mcphail> Twist: then you won't be able to run a VoIP app...
[11:00] <gdb> Twist: Do you have a GUI on your local machine?
[11:00] <gdb> Twist: The monitor that you are looking at right now, does it have a mouse pointer and windows and things?
[11:00] <Twist> mcphail: Unless I run the X server on the remote server...
[11:00] <gdb> Twist: That's not how X works.
[11:00] <Twist> gdb: Yes, I know
[11:00] <gdb> Twist: Do you have a GUI on your machine, right now?
[11:00] <mcphail> Twist: no, you run the Xserver on the machine which will show the VoIP app
[11:01] <gdb> Twist: Do you have a GUI on your machine, right now?
[11:01] <Twist> gdb: The one I am using? Yes.
[11:01] <geirergoy> The startup sound usually sounds like this: ta-da-da. Now, it sounds like this: Ta-da-da ta-da ta-da ta-da
[11:01] <gauss> hello all
[11:01] <ShaunLAP> Ubuntu 6.06 server install.
[11:01] <ShaunLAP> No apachectl.
[11:01] <ShaunLAP> wtf.
[11:01] <mcphail> geirergoy: it's the remix :)
[11:01] <gdb> Twist: That's the X Server.  It is providing "display services".  That's all you need for displaying X applications (clients) from anywhere.  Those applications are "clients of the display server".
[11:02] <mike__> the sound problem, could it be the mic is turned on and it is picking up the speakers?
[11:02] <mcphail> ShaunLAP: /etc/init.d/apache2 start/stop/restart etc
[11:02] <gdb> Twist: Running X on the remote machine does nothing other than use up RAM and CPU cycles for no reason.
[11:02] <geirergoy> no, that's not it. I have no mic.
[11:02] <mike__> ok
[11:02] <Twist> gdb: Yes, I understand
[11:02] <scrappy_> Twist: the 'server' is kindof misleading its a server from the applications perspective
[11:02] <Twist> gdb: But my perdicament is running a VoIP on a headless remote server
[11:02] <gdb> Twist: Apparently you don't because you keep insisting that you need to run an X server remotely.
[11:02] <Twist> I'm not insiting on that
[11:02] <ShaunLAP> mcphail, ah. Why that and not apachectl?
[11:03] <Twist> gdb: I'm stating that I need to run a GUI-based VoIP application on a remote server.
[11:03] <gdb> Twist: Ok, sure.  Why does that necessitate running an X server on that machine?
[11:03] <Twist> remote server being one not located in my vicinity
[11:03] <Twist> gdb: What other options do I have?
[11:03] <mcphail> ShaunLAP: i think apachectl is buried somewhere, but debian distros like to use the same controls for all services
[11:04] <gdb> Twist: The VoIP application is an X *client* that can use the display *services* of any X server, anywhere.
[11:04] <gdb> Twist: There is no requirement that the X server it is a client of is running on the same machine.
[11:04] <gauss> can i also ask something about playing video in ubuntu
[11:04] <Twist> gdb: Yes, I know. So how would I run a GUI application from a server?
[11:04] <ardchoille> gauss: yes
[11:05] <Nekow42> !ask > gauss
[11:05] <gdb> Twist: Do you have sshd running on the other machine?
[11:05] <gdb> mcphail: I love freenx.
[11:05] <gauss> my videos are very choppy
[11:05] <mcphail> gdb: yup
[11:05] <gauss> i have an older laptop, however on suse i had no problems playing htem using mplayer
[11:05] <Nekow42> gauss: What mutlimedia player are you using now?
[11:05] <gauss> mplayer
[11:05] <mikearthur> any ideas why ndiswrapper-source-1.8 depends on ndiswrapper-utils-1.8-1, which aren't available?
[11:06] <mcphail> gdb: although i think he would have to use the commercial nxserver for multimedia support
[11:06] <TheGateKeeper> MrFatJack: did you managed to get back in running order?
[11:06] <Nekow42> !easysource > mikearthur
[11:06] <Twist> gdb: Yes
[11:07] <mikearthur> Nekow42: sorry, what?
[11:07] <gdb> mcphail: nah
[11:07] <Nekow42> mikearthur: Have you added more repositories yet?
[11:07] <gdb> mcphail: free one does remote multimedia
[11:07] <mikearthur> Nekow42: why would I want to?
[11:07] <Nekow42> gauss: Tried totem?
[11:07] <mcphail> gdb: does it? Never tried that, but I thought the free one had sound criplled
[11:07] <Nekow42> mikearthur: If you're getting package not found errors, you need to...
[11:07] <gdb> Twist: Then ssh to the that machine with "ssh -X username@remote.server.name"
[11:08] <mikearthur> Nekow42: these packages are from the ubuntu defaults repos
[11:08] <bit_doidao> does anyone knows how to configure bind for serving as and internal and external dns servers?
[11:08] <gauss> they dont play at all in totem
[11:08] <Twist> gdb: Ok...and that does...
[11:08] <Nekow42> gauss: xine? VLC?
[11:08] <gdb> mcphail: Well, it's working for me at home.  I can't say that I play music remotely like that, but the login and logout sounds play.
[11:08] <gdb> Twist: Then just run your application.
[11:08] <Twist> Ah, alright
[11:08] <Nekow42> mikearthur: Does it depend on a package that isn't? (That would be dumb if it did, lol)
[11:08] <gdb> Twist: It will display on your local machine, while actually running remotely.
[11:09] <mikearthur> Nekow42: seems that way
[11:09] <gdb> Twist: The -X tells it to "forward the X display"
[11:09] <Twist> gdb: and if I close the session, the program remains running?
[11:09] <gdb> Twist: No, if you close that session the program will stop running.
[11:09] <Nekow42> mikearthur: Then, you might want to add them and see if it helps
[11:09] <Twist> gdb: there is my issue
[11:09] <mikearthur> ndiswrapper-modules-2.6.15.7-ubuntu1 depends on ndiswrapper-utils (>= 1.8-1)
[11:09] <Twist> gdb: It needs to remain running, always
[11:09] <mcphail> Twist: why?
[11:10] <Twist> Hard to explain, but basically I have other applications on the server controlling it
[11:10] <Nekow42> gauss: I guess the other question is, do you have all the extra codecs installed?
[11:10] <mcphail> Twist: are you sending spam phonecalls?
[11:10] <Twist> mcphail: No, no
[11:10] <LordTureis> lol
[11:10] <gauss> ok, vnc works,  but only full  screen :)
[11:11] <Nekow42> mcphail: If he wasx, would he admit it?
[11:11] <Twist> mcphail: It's user-initiated via Apache
[11:11] <mcphail> Twist: nxclient and server support detaching and resuming sessions
[11:11] <gdb> mcphail: the resume blows
[11:11] <gdb> mcphail: but you can detatch! :-D
[11:11] <mcphail> :)
[11:11] <tuxtux> ciao
[11:11] <gauss> which means it is not choppy in full screen but i cannot get it to display smaller picture
[11:11] <Twist> and all the programs continue to run?
[11:11] <Twist> (that I ran in X)
[11:11] <gdb> I hope when the beta goes live it will support a clean reattach.
[11:11] <gauss> it is kind of cutout from the fullscreen
[11:12] <gdb> er goes "not beta" or whatever
[11:12] <Nekow42> gauss: You're doing it over VNC? Did I miss something?
[11:12] <mcphail> gdb: can you detach a "screen" session in X forwarding ssh and resume the X app with "screen -r"?
[11:12] <mikearthur> mcphail: no
[11:12] <mikearthur> mcphail: use VNC
[11:12] <gauss> yeap, in VNC i can get full screen without chopping, but cannot get a smaller display
[11:13] <cowbud> I have a 128bit wireless wep key that I use in windows that works fine however when I use the same key in linux (with multiple wireless cards that do work in windows) they cannot acquire an IP address any ideas on what could be causing this?
[11:13] <i_is_cat> i heard ubuntu supports xgl quite well is this true?
[11:13] <erUSUL> !xgl > i_is_cat
[11:13] <Nekow42> gauss: Why over VNC? Why not just use the X client/server model?
[11:13] <mcphail> i_is_cat: "support" is an ambiguous term...
[11:14] <i_is_cat> yes it is
[11:14] <Nekow42> i_is_cat: It works with some TLC, if that's what you mean
[11:14] <i_is_cat> i tried setting it up on my opensuse box to no avail
[11:14] <mcphail> i_is_cat: xgl runs as well on dapper as it does on anything else. It is still very buggy
[11:14] <i_is_cat> but kororaa worked like a charm
[11:15] <zenit> cowbud: and all those cards you tried in linux support 128bit wep?
[11:15] <gauss> Nekow42: elaborate on that please
[11:15] <gauss> Nekow42: ok i think i got it now i tried an xvid and was fine
[11:15] <Nekow42> gauss: What format was bad?
[11:16] <cowbud> zenit: they are fairly new cards so I would assume so I didn't think that WEP needed to be supported extra..
[11:16] <Sir_Fawnpug> Does the alternate CD of XUbuntu have the text-mode installer on it?
[11:17] <zenit> cowbud: oki, just thought you had some older cards that maybe didn't support 128bit.
[11:17] <ucordes> what package do i need to install in order to get rid of my cold?
[11:17] <ucordes> it is terrible with headache and stuff
[11:17] <zenit> cowbud: then that issue is out of the way, I guess.
[11:17] <gauss> Nekow42: it seems it is running with VLC without problems!
[11:17] <gauss> Nekow42: thanks!
[11:17] <Sir_Fawnpug> ucordes, dxm
[11:17] <Nekow42> ucordes: #ubuntu-offtopic has info on all the miracle-cure packages
[11:17] <cowbud> zenit: as far as I know if wep is supported the whole range is. It isn't the same as with wpa...
[11:18] <Sir_Fawnpug> Just don't install it too much, your display might be trippy.
[11:18] <ucordes> great thanks
[11:18] <johlin> Is there an iPod coverart-downloader for Ubuntu?
[11:18] <zenit> cowbud: no, you can find many older cards that support 64bit wep only.
[11:18] <gauss> Nekow42: one more thing, do you know why mplayer wouldn't work?
[11:18] <warlocky> Any ideas of how to give a user full permission, like, the root user? ex, the user "warlock" has the same permission like root litterally?
[11:18] <chx> hi. i run xubuntu but i installed libgnomevfs2-0 and bluefish and would like to browse a webdav repository...
[11:18] <ardchoille> johlin: gtkpod ?
[11:18] <ardchoille> !info gtkpod
[11:18] <ubotu> gtkpod: manage songs and playlists on an Apple iPod. In repository universe, is extra. Version 0.99.2-1ubuntu2 (dapper), package size 480 kB, installed size 1988 kB
[11:18] <warlocky> sorry, accidently quit mric
[11:18] <warlocky> anyone?
[11:18] <Seveas> chx, you'd need nautilus for that
[11:19] <Nekow42> gauss: I've never had an issue, so no. But then again, my networ is way too slow for anything like video over VNC
[11:19] <johlin> archoille: I know, but I didn't find that option there, only the option to add your own.
[11:19] <ardchoille> johlin: Oh, ok. I have never used gtkpod, so I didn't know
[11:19] <chx> Seveas: so the open box in a gnome program, like bluefish will not contain my webdav repo?
[11:20] <Seveas> chx, if bluefish speaks gnomevfs, it will
[11:20] <Seveas> but I don't know whether bluefish supports gnomevfs
[11:21] <gauss> Nekow42: hey i think it was a typo not VNC but it works using VLC
[11:22] <Nekow42> gauss: LOL, okay. It was a codec issue then in all likelyhood
[11:22] <zi3d4n3> Please anyone i need help
[11:22] <gauss> Nekow42: however i just tried one file and mplayer plays it (choppy) but VLC only the sound
[11:22] <Seveas> !anyone > zi3d4n3
[11:22] <zi3d4n3> How can i configure bluetooth to support network acced to internet via bluetooth
[11:22] <Nekow42> gauss: VLC has most codecs built in, but some it doesnt
[11:22] <zi3d4n3> seveas tia!
[11:22] <zi3d4n3> accced=acces
[11:22] <gauss> Nekow42: how can i install the ones that are missing?
[11:23] <chx> Seveas: http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/features.html look it says gnome vfs and mentions webdav
[11:23] <Seveas> zi3d4n3, unfortunately that isn't easy just yet, look at /etc/blueztooth/hcid.conf
[11:23] <zi3d4n3> so that antoher computer can connect to the internet using my bluetooth network
[11:23] <Nekow42> gauss: Have you installed the free codecs and binary codecs?
[11:23] <zi3d4n3> thank yhou seveas.
[11:23] <chx> Seveas: so, i first need nautilius to configure it or something?
[11:23] <Seveas> chx, fair enough -- in it's open dialog, hit <ctrl>L and type webdav://yourserver
[11:23] <zi3d4n3> oui
[11:24] <gauss> Nekow42: what is the package name?
[11:24] <Seveas> chx, nautilus would make it easy to create a 'bookmark' of the webdav server
[11:24] <ku> I have a question: Have there been a few updates lately? This is the second day that I've the upgrade notifier thing come up and update some stuff.
[11:24] <chx> you can actually type a location into a gnome open file dialog?
[11:24] <chx> that's news.
[11:24] <chx> i am surely a n00b.
[11:24] <Nekow42> gauss: 1 sec
[11:25] <ardchoille> ku: I noticed a lot of updates today
[11:25] <Upayavira> Ubuntu automounts an external ext3 drive as vfat. How can I tell it to automount it correctly?
[11:25] <ku> ardchoille: cool, at least i now know that i didn't mess something up
[11:25] <Nekow42> gauss: One of tha packs is called w32codecs
[11:25] <palco> hallo everyone
[11:26] <Nekow42> gauss: They can all be auto-installed with EasyUbuntu
[11:26] <Nekow42> gauss: http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/overview.html
[11:26] <zi3d4n3> Seveas ... please i need 1 software in ubuntu to have all my software needs satisfied in ubuntu
[11:26] <zi3d4n3> please
[11:26] <zi3d4n3> Paltalk support please.
[11:26] <Seveas> zi3d4n3, I can't help with that
[11:26] <amonkey> where can i get the php5-domxml package? apt-get says no installation canidate but i thought i had all the repos...
[11:26] <chx> Seveas: it tries to open /home/chx/webdav: , tried https:// too , same results. http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=nautilius&searchmode=searchfiles&case=insensitive&version=dapper&arch=i386 comes up empty handed.
[11:27] <artzneo> saludos
[11:27] <ProN00b> how do i edit an iso ?
[11:27] <Seveas> chx, nautilus, not nautilius
[11:27] <gauss> Nekow42: ok going to check it out
[11:27] <zi3d4n3> Seveas, is it possible to run Paltalk ? it's a communication program i really miss it
[11:27] <zi3d4n3> ?
[11:27] <harisund> amonkey I am not able to find it in my repos as well.. maybe that package is not available?
[11:27] <palco> aufully sorry, but here is a dumn question: if I needed Ubuntu NOT to go to GDM automatically - how can I do that? pls
[11:27] <Upayavira> ProN00b:  you want to mount it as a file system
[11:27] <ardchoille> ProN00b: You don't.. an ISO is a finalised file system
[11:27] <Seveas> zi3d4n3, I have no idea what paltalk is...
[11:27] <ManiacKY> what is the lrm file system?
[11:27] <harisund> palco what do you mean not go to gdm? Where do you want it to go instead?
[11:28] <Seveas> ManiacKY, an in-memory filesystem for runtim linked binary-only drivers
[11:28] <palco> just the terminal
[11:28] <artzneo> alguien habla espaol?
[11:28] <palco> without gnome
[11:28] <artzneo> hi
[11:28] <Seveas> !es
[11:28] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[11:28] <SirGrok> how do i open up a process tree in order for me to kill a process, from the terminal (I run fluxbox)
[11:28] <zi3d4n3> www.paltalk.com
[11:28] <ProN00b> ardchoille, uh, so i unpack it and repack it ?
[11:28] <artzneo> thanks
[11:28] <ManiacKY> Seveas So its like a ram disk?
[11:28] <harisund> palco then you want to disable gdm at startup, right?
[11:28] <Seveas> SirGrok, apt-get install htop
[11:28] <Seveas> ManiacKY, sort of
[11:28] <palco> aga
[11:28] <palco> right
[11:28] <harisund> palco do a "sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove"
[11:28] <ardchoille> ProN00b: Is it an ISO of a distro?
[11:28] <crazy_penguin> good night all! sleep well! :)
[11:28] <ProN00b> ardchoille, yes
[11:28] <ManiacKY> k thanks
[11:28] <linuxd00d> night
[11:28] <palco> thank you
[11:28] <zi3d4n3> the gaim plugin for paltalk doesnt work and via wine it also doesnt work.
[11:29] <ardchoille> ProN00b: you burn it to a CD/DVD as an image
[11:29] <palco> and how do I go back
[11:29] <thansen> how can I do an install with the live cd when X always craps out?
[11:29] <harisund> palco this will remove the gdm startup screen.. try rebooting and check it .. however one small thing though ..
[11:29] <Nekow42> ProN00b: Editing it will wreck it then
[11:29] <xst> I have some questions about how ssh works: First, are there any security difference between using "keyboard interaction" authentication and "private/public key" authentication? I mean: Both are using public/private keys for the encryption anyways, so are there any other reasons than convenience to use the later?
[11:29] <palco> if I needed
[11:29] <palco> pls
[11:29] <ProN00b> ardchoille, i know, but its slax and i need to add a module (slax is a modular live cd)
[11:29] <harisund> palco if there is ever an upgrade to the gdm package, it will once again reappear at boot and you will have to enter the command again
[11:29] <Seveas> xst, passwords can be guessed, private keys can be stolen -- private keys are a bit safer though
[11:29] <ardchoille> ProN00b: You can't.. an ISO is a finalised file system
[11:30] <palco> not a prob
[11:30] <harisund> palco once you boot into comand line, if you wish to rstart your gdm you have to do "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start"
[11:30] <xst> Seveas: Why are they safer? I don't really understand why.
[11:30] <ardchoille> ProN00b: You can, however, add the module to the sources and use growisofs to create a new iso
[11:30] <thansen> I have an intel video card and I need the 915resolution app for the X server to start right in order to install
[11:30] <SirGrok> Seveas, thanks, that works marvelously.
[11:30] <Upayavira> Ubuntu automounts an external ext3 drive as vfat. Anyone know how I can tell it to automount it correctly?
[11:30] <ProN00b> ok, how, ardchoille ?
[11:30] <Nekow42> ardchoille: Some archivers open them up like zip files... I think that is what he is thinking of....
[11:30] <palco> and I will be loading automatically then?
[11:30] <palco> right?
[11:30] <Seveas> xst, they can't be guessed, are generally protected with a password (so they're not unsafer) and people tend to keep them safe
[11:31] <harisund> palco no ..
[11:31] <gauss> Neko42: thanks for your help! i am going to experiment a bit!
[11:31] <ardchoille> Nekow42: Seriously, I don't think you can add anything to an ISO, it's a finalised file system.
[11:31] <palco> every time
[11:31] <amonkey> where can i get the php5-domxml package?
[11:31] <harisund> palco that will only start the gdm .. if you want it to once again start it on boot everytime, you will have to do 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm'
[11:31] <palco> I'll have to do this every time?
[11:31] <Nekow42> ardchoille: Yeah, but that is where he is coming from
[11:31] <ardchoille> ah, ok
[11:31] <palco> aaa
[11:31] <palco> ok
[11:31] <nikin> re
[11:31] <palco> THANK YOU
[11:32] <harisund> palco do you get all the commands?
[11:32] <xst> Seveas: OK, thanks.
[11:33] <ardchoille> ProN00b: I don't remember the exact syntax and options, but you might read man mkisofs or google
[11:34] <Blinker> I really hate to keep asking the same question everyday, but does anyone here know how to enable SHMConfig so I can configure synclient on the fly?
[11:34] <Sp4rKy> hi
[11:34] <ardchoille> Blinker: If no one answers, there's always http://ubuntuforums.org
[11:34] <nikin> can someone check for me that how much memory is used by gnome?
[11:35] <Blinker> ardchoille: ah, righto - forgot about that. i'll go post there
[11:35] <xst> One more ssh question: If some network sniffer captures a whole ssh session between two hosts, will he then be able to login again at a later point by replay'ing all the data? And worse: Can he decode in any way? (Guess he can't unless he one of the private keys, right?)
[11:35] <Sp4rKy> i've some issue with a dual screen on a intel i810 video card
[11:36] <Sp4rKy> i could have the 2 screen at the same time but there is always the same screen i see and not an extension
[11:36] <Sp4rKy> does anyone could help me ?
[11:37] <afief> Is there a place to get the manpages for the gnome library functions eg. g_strsplit?
[11:37] <synic> afief: would a webpage do?
[11:37] <synic> http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/glib/glib-String-Utility-Functions.html

[11:39] <ajt> finalbeta: was that in response to my question?
[11:40] <shadowNinja> with speedboost
[11:40] <finalbeta> ke, wel, the S option will never work, so if the router needs that, it wont connect.

[11:41] <finalbeta> shadowNinja, I read stuff about it working on gentoo, no reason it shouldn't work on gnome, what did you try? Is that card suing a broadcom chipset?
[11:41] <mike1> Any ideas on this wireless card?

[11:41] <Sp4rKy> please could you help me ?

[11:42] <ajt> Can someone recommend a wireless pci networking card for ubuntu that works out of the box?
[11:42] <K-Rich> ummmm the package gnome-art seems broken on Dapper, it freezes before the download

[11:42] <shadowNinja> is my driver
[11:42] <dr_willis> ajt,  heh - good luck there. :) im lucky to find such a device under windows even. Wireless can be such a hassle.
[11:42] <zi3d4n3> serveasssssss please
[11:43] <BlackFence> hello
[11:43] <finalbeta> !broadcom
[11:43] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[11:43] <BlackFence> what is the best linux distro?
[11:43] <stefg> !best
[11:43] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[11:43] <dr_willis> ajt,  i think theres a Linux wireless  comparison site or 2
[11:43] <acojlo> I'm in doubt about universe and multiverse repositories. I would like to use official ubuntu repos for most of my system core - kernel, desktop, security related software, package management. But, I would like to see broader picture of gnome and desktop-neutral apps and benefit of it. So, how to ad repos to synaptics and to be at peace about this arguments?
[11:43] <dr_willis> Best Disrto depends on the task it is to do.
[11:43] <BlackFence> hello
[11:43] <BlackFence> is mandriva respostories free?
[11:43] <ku> !dual monitor
[11:43] <ubotu> I know nothing about dual monitor - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[11:44] <ku> Anyone how to make it so each monitor shows a different workspace?
[11:44] <dr_willis> acojlo,  i alsyas include u niverse and multiverse from the start.. no hassles here.
[11:44] <shadowNinja> thanx
[11:44] <ku> I've only got Xinerama or whatever to work where both monitor displays a different part of the desktop
[11:44] <Olathe> Does anybody know of guides to reduce Xubuntu's memory usage ?
[11:44] <dr_willis> ku,  not sure thats doable.. at least ive never seen it done that way.
[11:44] <Strykubuntu> ok
[11:44] <Xiantia> hello all
[11:44] <ku> dr_willis: doh, I would've really liked that =(
[11:44] <finalbeta> shadowNinja, try reinstalling the card like this : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx Worked for me for the PCMCIA version, but only working on 11Mbit
[11:45] <sethk> ku, it is possible to have two independent desktops, which would typically be :0.0 and :0.1
[11:45] <Xiantia> where is irc channel Fr for Ubuntu please
[11:45] <dr_willis> ku,  dosent sound as useable to me as having 1 HUge desktop. :P
[11:45] <scrappy_> Olathe: sudo update-rc.d -r scriptname remove  look in /etc/init.d for scripts you dont need
[11:45] <zi3d4n3> tasks: running all my hardware (bluetooth, webcam, sony playstation1 controller via Wisegroup LTD, MP8866 DUAL USB) . on software needs just run Paltalk if possible or Unreal TOurnament Goty, any
[11:45] <arto> Anybody had luck using Bluetooth on ubuntu?
[11:45] <zi3d4n3> game :)
[11:45] <shadowNinja> hmm
[11:45] <finalbeta> Xiantia, my guess would be #ubuntu-fr
[11:45] <FunnyLookinHat> !multiverse
[11:45] <sethk> dr_willis, two separate can be nice for a developer.  You have one that looks like your users' desktop, and another for editing, building, etc.
[11:45] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[11:45] <Xiantia> thx finalbeta
[11:45] <Strykubuntu> Reading package lists... Done
[11:45] <Strykubuntu> Building dependency tree... Done
[11:45] <Strykubuntu> tcl8.4 is already the newest version.
[11:45] <Strykubuntu> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.
[11:45] <shadowNinja> would ndiswrapper with my original driver b good?
[11:46] <ardchoille> !fr
[11:46] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[11:46] <holycow> how do i add a user to a group with adduser again?
[11:46] <Strykubuntu> but still no tcl when i try to ./configure an eggdrop
[11:46] <scrappy_> holycow: i just edit the group file or usermod -G groups,to,be,a,member,of username
[11:46] <ku> dr_willis: well I usually have a ton of windows open, and mainly, I wanted to split the "Windows Bar" into two bars so I can get one for each monitor
[11:47] <holycow> scrappy_, thanks!
[11:47] <arto> bluetooth works on ubuntu?
[11:47] <Nuked> think so arto
[11:47] <toxicaway> CAn someone please tell me abotu Ubiquity? If i install Ubuntu with Ubiquity on my HDD (from a livecd), will it come with a boot manager?
[11:47] <finalbeta> shadowNinja, ndiswrapper somethimes works I guess... i'm just saying you could try this way without ndiswrapper. If the driver doesn't load, use the one from the linksys CD, the one they sugested to download was no good for me.
[11:47] <arto> Nuked: How???
[11:47] <scrappy_> holycow: if you use usermod be careful it replaces your groups so type the command groups and hit enter then renter all your present groups with the new one
[11:48] <holycow> k
[11:48] <shadowNinja> how does suse 10. work so well with almost any wireless card?
[11:48] <goudkov> hey guys, how can i make thunderbird open composer window maximized? i upgraded, and now it opens a tiny window
[11:48] <arto> Anybody had luck using Bluetooth on ubuntu?
[11:48] <shadowNinja> what the heck driver r  they using?
[11:49] <arto> Anybody had luck using Bluetooth on ubuntu?
[11:49] <toxicaway> Can someone please tell me about Ubiquity? If i install Ubuntu with Ubiquity on my HDD (from a livecd), will it come with a boot manager?
[11:49] <finalbeta> shadowNinja, Perhaps beter then ubuntu sinse it's released later, but I wouldn't bet on it. (they are suggesting to download the driver from the site)
[11:49] <NemesisUK> arto, yeah worked out of the box for me
[11:49] <arto> NemesisUK: Which program do you use to receive files from a mobile device let's say?
[11:49] <arto> !gnome-bluetooth
[11:49] <ubotu> I know nothing about gnome-bluetooth - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[11:50] <shadowNinja> i was using suse 10.1...it worked "out of the box"........i wanna use ubuntu though
[11:50] <stefg> !bluetooth > arto
[11:50] <NemesisUK> gnome-bluetooth
[11:51] <erUSUL> !wifi > shadowNinja
[11:51] <finalbeta> shadowNinja, I've used suse also, but that doesn't come with apt-get, wich is much beter, doesn't crash so often/corrupted db. if you follow the braodcom guide I gave you I'm sure it will work, but probably only on 11Mbit. Perhaps you can upgrade ndiswrapper to the latest version (not from the ubuntu repositories), and it might work fine then.
[11:52] <shadowNinja> good idea
[11:52] <Strykyr> can someone please tell me how to get ubuntu to recognize the tcl thats already there?
[11:52] <shadowNinja> thanx
[11:52] <finalbeta> shadowNinja, np, nn then.
[11:52] <shadowNinja> i'll hafta d/l packages an then burn to cd for use on my other pc
[11:53] <finalbeta> usb stick.
[11:53] <scrappy_> shadowNinja: you hvae installed the restricted modules right?
[11:53] <finalbeta> crossed calble...
[11:53] <maccam94> is there a way to amplify sound? the computer I have ubuntu on has unpowered speakers and they aren't loud enough...
[11:53] <toxicaway> Can someone please tell me about Ubiquity? If i install Ubuntu with Ubiquity on my HDD (from a livecd), will it come with a boot manager?
[11:53] <shadowNinja> nope....i have live-cd
[11:54] <shadowNinja> an that's all

[11:55] <dr_willis> too slow.  :)
[11:55] <Seveas> stefg, no need to call !ops when losers have left already 
[11:55] <scrappy_> shadowNinja: well im not sure of livecd but i first thing after install always apt-get a 686 kernel and the linux-restricted-modules-kernalname package
[11:55] <panth> yikes
[11:55] <ajt> shadowNinja: What networking card do you have?
[11:55] <gnomefreak> i had that :(
[11:55] <ompaul> ahh
[11:55] <linuxd00d> arrggghhhh
[11:55] <scrappy_> shadowNinja: depending on your processor meant to say i always do that
[11:55] <ompaul> two bans for the price of 1
[11:55] <panth> Seveas, what is the ban for silenceisdefeat.org?
[11:55] <shadowNinja> wmp54gs or something?
[11:55] <maccam94> anybody know how to boost the sound output volume?
[11:55] <stefg> Seveas: sorry, conference mode in here... join/part switched off
[11:55] <Seveas> panth, abuse:useful ratio approaching infinity:0 -- so we banned them
[11:56] <tgelter> hey, I was in here a few hours ago and talked to stefg who helped me out a bit. I am still having issues getting 5.1 surround sound to work. Does anyone have it working with the nforce4 chipset?
[11:56] <panth> phooey :/
[11:56] <shadowNinja> i wish my old dvd drive could read dvd-rw....
[11:56] <dr_willis> maccam94,  if yoy got unamped speakers.. the pc aint going to make them blast. the out put is only so loud.. use headsets or the headset port perhaps.
[11:56] <ompaul> panth, well less abuse from that domain now ;-)
[11:56] <panth> Shoot, that's where my shell is :/
[11:57] <maccam94> dr_willis: thing is they worked fine in windows, so i'm wondering if there's a way to amplify the volume with the sound manager
[11:57] <dr_willis> maccam94,  Hmmm... theres the mixer controlls - start sliding the sliders
[11:57] <ajt> shadowNinja: you having a problem still getting it to work?
[11:57] <maccam94> dr_willis: when they're all at the max it's still pretty quiet
[11:57] <tgelter> maccam94: have you tried upping the volume w/ alsamixer?
[11:57] <panth> There were a lot of people from that server causing trouble?
[11:57] <maccam94> i'm wondering if there's a preamp or something
[11:58] <ompaul> panth, there are those who hide behind being anonymous - and the answer to that is yes
[11:58] <dr_willis> maccam94,  the progrmas also have their own vol comtrolls at times.. and some mixers may show more sliders then others.
[11:58] <maccam94> tgelter: that's the same as using the toolbar applet right?
[11:58] <shadowNinja> well...i need to figure out what packages i need.....then i must burn em to cd.......then i can install an test em
[11:58] <maccam94> i've turned up the master volume all the way
[11:58] <maccam94> and all the others
[11:58] <maccam94> via the toolbar volume control
[11:58] <maccam94> as far as i can tell, he can't hear sounds on webpages or something
[11:58] <dr_willis> maccam94,  thry the console alsa-miser
[11:58] <ompaul> !enter
[11:58] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[11:58] <dr_willis> not the gnome one.
[11:59] <maccam94> ompaul: sry
[11:59] <ompaul> maccam94, np
[11:59] <maccam94> dr_willis: ok, i will
[11:59] <bobbyd_> hi
[11:59] <maccam94> any other ideas?
[11:59] <maccam94> no way to set a conf file to boost the volume X percent?
[11:59] <bobbyd_> I have a problem when i try to access paypal with firefox, it tries to download the pagee, does anyone kno whoe to fix that?
[11:59] <dr_willis> maccam94,  if its got a controll - that alsa-mixer should show it.. or was it alsamixer (i forget)
[12:00] <dr_willis> maccam94,  alsa has  several controll programs.  google for your specific card if all else fails
[12:00] <tgelter> it's alsamixer
[12:00] <noxxle> just installed ubuntu, and it updated everything except for 3 packages, whcih it says it cannot find: libtotem, totem, totem-gstreamer
[12:00] <panth> noxxle, same here - looks to be some lag in mirrors updating maybe
[12:00] <maccam94> noxxle: have you synced the repositories?
[12:00] <tgelter> noxxle: you need to install more repositories...ubuntuguide.org explains how to do it
