[12:01] <kedarguru> I thought I was invisible :-O
[12:01] <mwe> IRCMonkeyX: so essential things are in /bin and /sbin
[12:01] <wweasel> What's the command to check the MD5 sum of a file?
[12:01] <sethro> Hi guys
[12:01] <yozBuntu> kedarguru, WAIT YOU ARE
[12:01] <TheGateKeeper> ian_: correct plf repos are here ---> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19978
[12:01] <kedarguru> :-O
[12:01] <Noumaan> yozBuntu: have you read it?
[12:01] <yozBuntu> noumaan, working on it
[12:01] <sehute> IRCMonkeyX: /bin is very roughly system-programs that are not as critical as those in /sbin, while /usr/bin are user-programs
[12:01] <kedarguru> how do I share a printer?
[12:01] <Noumaan> yozBuntu: ok take your time
[12:01] <ian_> TheGateKeeper, Danke. ;)
[12:01] <IRCMonkeyX> mwe: i see, i mean i try to understand :)
[12:01] <kedarguru> I'm having a fun time trying to figure it out
[12:01] <mwe> IRCMonkeyX: don't worry about it
[12:01] <p01n7> wweasel, md5sum
[12:02] <IRCMonkeyX> sehute: thanx, i got it
[12:02] <TheGateKeeper> ian_: yw :-)
[12:02] <yozBuntu> kedarguru, share a printer from ubuntu ?
[12:02] <kedarguru> yes
[12:02] <TheGateKeeper> ian_: are you new to linux?
[12:02] <yozBuntu> kedarguru, share it to what, another ubuntu system or a win32
[12:02] <jony_> yozBuntu: ohh by network manager i mean this one http://www.gnome.org/projects/NetworkManager/
[12:02] <recon0> what is the equivlent of "regedit" on linux?
[12:02] <timothy> harisund: actually, it just worked, but i didn't do anything different except connected to smb://<ip> instead of smb://<ip>/<share folder>
[12:02] <kedarguru> one, and then the other
[12:02] <technel> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0132435942/sr=8-1/qid=1154988129/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-0515919-0079062?ie=UTF8 <--- Aug 6th is gone
[12:02] <kedarguru> to ubuntu
[12:02] <yozBuntu> jony_, what kind of network card is it
[12:02] <wweasel> p01n7: thx
[12:03] <ToHellWithGA> is there any particular reason why i'd be getting TCP download rates of about 10-15kB/s on a 10 Mbit LAN connection?
[12:03] <ian_> TheGateKeeper, Relatively.
[12:03] <devhen> recon0: linux doesnt use a registry. what are looking to do?
[12:03] <timothy> harisund: thank you again for your help
[12:03] <ian_> TheGateKeeper, I just got a notfication of some form of invite from you.  DCC chat list... What is this and why does it do nothing if I hit "accept"?
[12:03] <jony_> yozBuntu: its a bcm43xx it seems i got the driver to work. i do get some networks with a scan but i dont know how to actually connect
[12:03] <sehute> recon0: the files in /etc might be the closest thing to a registry, for things related to the entire system
[12:04] <TheGateKeeper> ian_: I have collected a few usefull links and put them here ---> http://za1012001.googlepages.com/home
[12:04] <mrstocks> hiya, im wondering what packages i should install to get dri working with an ATI radion X PRO 1300
[12:04] <kedarguru> I am trying to share from ubuntu to ubuntu
[12:04] <kedarguru> a printer.
[12:04] <sehute> recon0: if you're looking for user-specific options, the .-directories in the homedirs usually does the trick
[12:04] <yozBuntu> jony_, in the configuration for the wireless card there should be a spot for the SSID and security stuff.
[12:04] <yozBuntu> jony_, are you using WEP on your network
[12:04] <gandalfcome> i tried to install phpmyadmin and as soons as I open it via firefox it asks me where to save some phtml file. can anyone help?
[12:04] <TheGateKeeper> ian_: I didn't send it so reject it
[12:04] <IRCMonkeyX> friends, i installed ubuntu, it saw my modem itself, i didnt make any configration for my modem, should i make any configration ?
[12:04] <mwe> the windows registry is pure evil
[12:04] <jony_> yozBuntu: yes i am
[12:05] <yozBuntu> jony_, so you directly type in the SSID (name) of your wireless network
[12:05] <vicscandl> mwe: uh, that sentence should not have had the word registry in it.
[12:05] <dooglus> RemoteViewer: gconf-editor is kindof like regedit
[12:05] <yozBuntu> get the HEX key off your router and dump it into the spot where it asks for the key.
[12:05] <Orbit45244> how do I edit rc.local
[12:05] <mwe> vicscandl: 
[12:05] <ian_> TheGateKeeper, That adjustment to my sources list worked wonderfully.  Thanks soo much.
[12:05] <fedt> vi /etc/rc.local
[12:05] <phuzz> anyone now of a freenx windows client that doesnt use msi installer(i.e. zip pkg)
[12:05] <purplebody> one more question, how do I change the default keyboard configuration in ubuntu server, right now I can't type a colon or semi-colon
[12:05] <Orbit45244> because it says I don't have the permissions to
[12:05] <TheGateKeeper> ian_: yw ;-)
[12:06] <Kagar> Is direct rendering also available for Invidia Graphics Cards? I only see stuff for Radion and nvidia
[12:06] <yozBuntu> kagar, 'nvidia' ;)
[12:06] <Kagar> Intel Graphics*
[12:06] <tjb891> how do I find out the name of my cd drives (its a dvd-rw drive_
[12:06] <Kagar> My bad.
[12:06] <yozBuntu> oh heh
[12:06] <tjb891> in /dev that is?
[12:06] <Noumaan> Orbit45244:  did you try $ gksudo "gedit /path/tofile/rc.locale"
[12:06] <ian_> TheGateKeeper, And the article you sent me is also exceptional.  I just bookmarked it.  I'll be having my roomies (whom I converted to Ubu from *dos) read it as well. ;)
[12:06] <IRCMonkeyX> friends, i installed ubuntu, it saw my modem itself, i didnt make any configration for my modem, should i make any configration ?
[12:07] <Kagar> I'm looking at the xorgconfig
[12:07] <yozBuntu> kagar, you could try asking #ubuntu-xgl
[12:07] <mwe> tjb891: /dev/hdc usually, but dmesg might help as well
[12:07] <fedt> cat /dev | grep cd
[12:07] <Awesome-o2000> is there an IA64 version of ubuntu?
[12:07] <fedt> oops
[12:07] <fedt> ls
[12:07] <IRCMonkeyX> !xgl
[12:07] <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
[12:07] <tjb891> ok
[12:07] <davegoodson> !intel
[12:07] <ubotu> I know nothing about intel - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:07] <TheGateKeeper> Orbit45244: using a GUI Run Command gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local or using the cli sudo vi (or nano) /etc/rc.local
[12:07] <mwe> tjb891: type dmesg|less and look for the drive
[12:07] <mwe> tjb891: page up down to navigate
[12:07] <acheron> Where can I find a good beginners guide to Ubuntu?
[12:08] <TheGateKeeper> ian_: pleased you found it usefull, reward enough :-)
[12:08] <jony_> yozBuntu: i can see it in the drop down menu but i cant connect it takes too long to activate but i have no conectivity
[12:08] <name> found one anyway
[12:08] <mwe> tjb891: or if it's mounted just type mount
[12:08] <grampajoe> How do I write to a windows NTFS partition?
[12:08] <Noumaan> acheron Ubuntu Starter Guide is good resource
[12:08] <IRCMonkeyX> sehute: i installed ubuntu, it saw my modem itself, i didnt make any configration for my modem, should i make any configration ?
[12:08] <acheron> Ok.
[12:09] <mwe> !dialup
[12:09] <ubotu> You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DialupModemHowto
[12:09] <Madpilot> grampajoe, you don't, not safely
[12:09] <Madpilot> acheron, help.ubuntu.com
[12:09] <tjb891> i typed in sudo hdparm dev/hdc and it said dma was on but i just ripped a cd and it only got up to 6x with a 48x drive
[12:09] <acheron> Thank you.
[12:09] <gandalfcome> i installed phpmyadmin and when i try to access it i can only download some phtml file
[12:09] <sehute> IRCMonkeyX: do you wish to use the modem? Do you have a gui-program like kppp that does the job for you?
[12:09] <gandalfcome> help please?
[12:09] <ian_> Have good day people.  Thanks for helping.  And good luck with resolving your issues. ;)  Viva Linux!
[12:09] <mwe> grampajoe: well there is captive ntfs but you're on your own with that and I'm not into the details
[12:09] <harisund> gandalfcome you have incorrectly isntalled Apache with php .
[12:09] <grampajoe> Madpilot, then is there a way to retrieve files from my linux partition from Windows?
[12:09] <wireless> Can anyone point me to a website that will tell me how to install a wireless (d-link g510) pci card for ubuntu?
[12:09] <gandalfcome> okay what do i do?
[12:09] <Madpilot> acheron, also, on your desktop, go System->Help->System Documentation
[12:10] <fedt> gandalfcome: addhandler
[12:10] <sehute> tjb891: did you use k3b?
[12:10] <IRCMonkeyX> sehute: i dont have kppp
[12:10] <T8y8> Hey, Network Manager won't seem to save WPA keys to the keyring anymore, although it used to
[12:10] <tjb891> no, sounbd juicer
[12:10] <Madpilot> grampajoe, you can read from ntfs, and copy/cut stuff from it, but not write back to it
[12:10] <sehute> IRCMonkeyX: kppp might do what you want it to, if you wish to use the modem for connecting to the net
[12:10] <mwe> grampajoe: there are several free tools to read ext partitions from windows
[12:10] <gregg__> tjb891: audio extraction can be quite slow, depending on drive, media and method (accuracy) of extraction
[12:10] <gandalfcome> in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf?
[12:10] <tjb891> *sound juicer
[12:10] <IRCMonkeyX> sehute: i talk with you via my modem
[12:10] <fedt> mine's /www/conf/httpd.conf :-/
[12:10] <tjb891> ok
[12:10] <sehute> IRCMonkeyX: if it works fine, there should be no need to configure it further
[12:10] <Madpilot> grampajoe, and yes, you can read & write ext3 partitions from windows, as mwe said
[12:11] <sehute> IRCMonkeyX: where you thinking of security and that sort of thing?
[12:11] <gregg__> tjb891: you could try to lower the level of error correction
[12:11] <sehute> grampajoe: ex2fsd.sf.net
[12:11] <grampajoe> Thanks everyone
[12:11] <sehute> IRCMonkeyX: *were
[12:11] <IRCMonkeyX> sehute: in fact, i dont know how to scan my ports??
[12:11] <tjb891> how do I do that in sound juicer, the preferences menu was very empty?
[12:11] <fedt> i think in linux it sometimes show's up as /etc/httpd.conf or /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
[12:11] <T8y8> I've deleted the key from the keyring, and following advice from here, I deleted the .gnome2/keyrings directory
[12:12] <IRCMonkeyX> sehute: i mean by which command?
[12:12] <T8y8> But it still doesn't seem to sace
[12:12] <T8y8> *save
[12:12] <sehute> IRCMonkeyX: portscanning is an entirely different animal :) Are you happy with your current modem-configuration?
[12:12] <yozBuntu> jony_
[12:12] <wireless> wireless help...anyone?
[12:12] <yozBuntu> it sure sounds like you're a) typing the key in wrong, or b) using the wrong WEP type
[12:12] <sehute> IRCMonkeyX: does it work as you wish it to? What is your question, really? :)'
[12:12] <yozBuntu> wireless try just asking the question
[12:13] <wireless> I am installing the wireless assistant but other than that what do I need to do to get my dlink g510 running?
[12:13] <gandalfcome> okay i see my httpd.congf
[12:13] <IRCMonkeyX> sehute: i am happy yes :) but in xp , for example 135. port is dangerous, i wanna know these things for linux too
[12:13] <sehute> wireless: 1. does your hardware show up with lspci 2. does it show up with dmesg 3. does it show up with lsmod ?
[12:13] <gandalfcome> what do i add there?
[12:13] <yozBuntu> jony_, i'm using WEP64 just because it's a shorter key and i don't run wireless all the time.
[12:13] <fedt> when it says that the ubuntu server cd will not use gui, does that mean just for the install, or always?
[12:13] <Madpilot> fedt, always.
[12:13] <sehute> IRCMonkeyX: by default, most ports are closed in ubuntu, as far as I can remember
[12:14] <gandalfcome> i didnt install from server cd
[12:14] <IRCMonkeyX> sehute: do u remember the command how to see open ports ?
[12:14] <sehute> IRCMonkeyX: ftp and samba has been exploited in the past, but I have no idea how secure they are now
[12:14] <sehute> IRCMonkeyX: nmap
[12:14] <gandalfcome> i used synaptic
[12:15] <IRCMonkeyX> sehute: only nmap? it says bad command
[12:15] <Orbit45244> does firestarter run by default?
[12:15] <jony_> wireless: yes i neeed help
[12:15] <sehute> IRCMonkeyX: you're never 100% safe no matter what, but there are many nice tutorials about hardening the security of your system, if that's your thing :)
[12:15] <Orbit45244> *on boot-up
[12:15] <sehute> IRCMonkeyX: sudo apt-get install nmap
[12:15] <T8y8> Hey, Network Manager won't seem to save WPA keys to the keyring anymore, although it used to. An ideas?
[12:15] <IRCMonkeyX> Orbit45244: you should add it to start-up
[12:15] <Orbit45244> by editing rc.local?
[12:15] <jony_> wireless: i can see the networks in my area with this command but i cant connect sudo iwlist ethX scan
[12:15] <IRCMonkeyX> no
[12:16] <Orbit45244> by what?
[12:16] <gandalfcome> thanks guys i got to go, will try again tomorrow
[12:16] <fedt> is there an ubuntu cd that only boots and then installs ftp?
[12:16] <IRCMonkeyX> Orbit45244: type which firestarter in terminal
[12:16] <nealmcb> security.ubuntu.com is really slow (10 kB/s, 6 hours remaining....).  where is a list of mirrors for it?  The CommonQuestions faq et al. all seem geared at alternate repositories.
[12:17] <Orbit45244> ircmonkey: okay
[12:17] <IRCMonkeyX> Orbit45244: than system/prefences/sessions  add that command what you got from terminal
[12:17] <Orbit45244> okay, thanks
[12:17] <sehute> fedt: not that I know of, as the need for that CD probably can be easily fulfilled by an existing CD
[12:17] <Madpilot> nealmcb, I don't think there are mirrors for security.u.c, which is too bad - it is slow
[12:17] <jony_> wireless: __
[12:17] <Madpilot> fedt, do you just want an IRC server, or a client?
[12:18] <nealmcb> Madpilot: if so, perhaps the Topic could be clarified?
[12:18] <IRCMonkeyX> Orbit45244: i just learnt it before 5 minutes :)
[12:18] <fedt> madpilot: ...
[12:18] <visik7> rtsp://a2047.v1412b.c1412.g.vq.akamaistream.net/5/2047/1412/1_h264_350/1a1a1ae555c531960166df4dbc3095c327960d7be756b71b49aa1576e344addb3ead1a497aaedf11/wwdc_2006_1_350.mp4
[12:18] <Orbit45244> so I put in /user/sbin/firestarter ?
[12:18] <visik7> anyone can open it ?
[12:18] <IRCMonkeyX> Orbit45244: yes
[12:19] <Kagar> how do I make this direct rendering?
[12:19] <Kagar> OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
[12:19] <Kagar> OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
[12:19] <Kagar> OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.4.1)
[12:19] <T8y8> Network Manager won't seem to save WPA keys to the keyring anymore, although it used to. Any ideas?
[12:19] <sehute> visik7: RTSP support requires the "LIVE.COM Streaming Media" libraries
[12:19] <sehute> visik7: just what mplayer told me
[12:19] <Madpilot> nealmcb, there are several ops present, and I think the /topic is long enough already...
[12:19] <Kagar> :(
[12:20] <yozBuntu> they need country-based mirrors for security.ubuntu.com
[12:20] <Madpilot> Kagar, ATI or Nvidia graphics card?
[12:20] <sehute> Kagar: patience
[12:20] <yozBuntu> like a ca.security.ubuntu.com for canadian mirror etc
[12:20] <Kagar> mad: I'm not sure. It just says intel 82810 CGC [Chipset Graphics
[12:20] <yozBuntu> kagar, you didn't continue asking #ubuntu-xgl either
[12:20] <IRCMonkeyX> sehute: it says 1674 port is closed, it did scan in one second , is it normal
[12:20] <yozBuntu> ;)
[12:20] <Kagar> well, no one was responding.
[12:21] <yozBuntu> might as well ask in both since you asked here now
[12:21] <fedt> ok, this live cd sucks.  it fails the checksum everytime, even when i download it again
[12:21] <yozBuntu> kagar, i didn't see you say anything
[12:21] <yozBuntu> in there
[12:21] <sehute> Kagar: in 10 ms, no
[12:21] <wireless> How do I install a driver for my wireless card?
[12:21] <i_is_cat> wireless worked awesome for me
[12:21] <sehute> IRCMonkeyX: did you read the nmap documentation? There are several good tutorials on the web as well, if portscanning is your thing ;)
[12:21] <i_is_cat> course i used teh live cd
[12:21] <i_is_cat> with teh wireless card plugged in (usb)
[12:22] <tuxtux> ciao
[12:22] <IRCMonkeyX> sehute: in fact, i didnt read, i just wrote nmap myip :)
[12:22] <sehute> Kagar: what gfx card do you have?
[12:22] <jony_> wireless: u there_
[12:22] <jony_> ?
[12:22] <T8y8> Running NM-applt from the term and connecting to the network says "Error saving secret for wireless network <name> in keyring
[12:22] <fedt> is it possible just to install ubuntu desktop by shell instead of the installer?
[12:22] <sehute> IRCMonkeyX: if you run nmap --help or man nmap (can't remember which), there are a couple of example commandlines you can try out
[12:22] <wireless> jony: yes but I am looking for help not vice versa
[12:22] <Kagar> sehute: intel 82810 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller] 
[12:23] <wireless> :)
[12:23] <yozBuntu> heh the two of you are looking for help but jony got the idea wireless was here TO help
[12:23] <jony_> jajaj
[12:23] <sehute> Kagar: did you search for that name and "ubuntu" at google?
[12:23] <jony_> lol
[12:23] <Kagar> sehute: I did intel 82810 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller] +Linux
[12:23] <sehute> Kagar: try "82810 intel ubuntu"
[12:23] <sehute> Kagar: I've set up a similar card
[12:24] <sehute> Kagar: I installed the suitable xorg drivers from apt
[12:24] <sehute> Kagar: then enabled dri in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:24] <sehute> Kagar: afaicr
[12:24] <zoredache> fedt, I suspect the instructions to install ubuntu by shell would be nearly identical to the instructions for the Debian-From-Scratch...
[12:25] <sehute> zoredache: should just be one command
[12:25] <lmosher> Is there a way to force an application to be full screen?
[12:25] <sehute> lmosher: what kind of application?
[12:25] <sehute> lmosher: text? graphics? opengl?
[12:25] <lmosher> wine
[12:25] <monkeyan> i was wondering does ubuntu server have the option to netboot network computers with custom boot images or just ubuntu?
[12:25] <lmosher> sehute, more specifically it's a game that runs in wine
[12:26] <sehute> lmosher: yes, there's a config-utility that comes with wine. Winecfg or something
[12:26] <Flannel> monkeyan: as far as I know, you can boot whatever you'd like.
[12:26] <lmosher> sehute, hrm ok I didn't check that
[12:26] <lmosher> it's not -always- full scren though..
[12:27] <monkeyan> Flannel: thanks do you know what program i would use to set it up or do you just kno0w that it is possible?
[12:27] <sehute> lmosher: ~/.wine might also be of interest
[12:27] <lmosher> sehute, ok thanks
[12:27] <T8y8> It also seems I can't unintsall gnome-keyring without unintsalling gnome
[12:27] <sehute> lmosher: and wine --help or man wine ? :)
[12:27] <lmosher> SheaTara_, yeah I'll read up on that too, thanks!
[12:27] <Flannel> monkeyan: no, I don't really know.  You might try searching the wiki.
[12:28] <jony_> T8y8: do you know why my nm suddenly stopped showing the wireless options?
[12:28] <monkeyan> flannel: thanks i will
[12:28] <Tsukino> =( You can't hot swap a floppy and CD drive in Ubuntu?
[12:28] <T8y8> It didn't, I can connect, shows signal, the only thing it doens't do, is save to the keyring anymore, and I have no idea why
[12:28] <mwe> Tsukasa: yes
[12:28] <mwe> Tsukino: ^^
[12:29] <Tsukino> hehe
[12:29] <Tsukino> my laptop has a removable bay, and it doesn't see the CD if I take the floppy drive out and put the CD drive in
[12:29] <_Roman> Can anyone help, I have installed an ubunutu 6.06 system.  I have installed it to /dev/hdb.  Unfortunatly I made a mistake somewhere along the line and ended up installing grub to /dev/hda, how can I write the grub loader to hdb?  I need to make sure that this system does not break.  Also, I installed so that everything in one big partition (ie. / is the only mount point)
[12:29] <mwe> Is it just here or has security.ubuntu.com been dead slow lately?
[12:30] <nixternal> i have noticed it as well mwe
[12:30] <mwe> oh well
[12:30] <RvGaTe> random: http://www.skammich.com/ :D
[12:30] <ToHellWithGA> mwe: is it just that repo that's been slow to ya?  everything seems to be draggin' for me
[12:30] <niall> Hey guys any of you know what movie player will play an iso
[12:30] <T8y8> No one has any idea then?
[12:31] <_Roman> niall: mplayer
[12:31] <godtvisken> Hey.. I enabled the Icelandic keyboard in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard, but it doesn't work properly for me. The dead keys for the `umlaut' and the  character don't work
[12:31] <rsk> niall: mplayer
[12:31] <ToHellWithGA> niall: .iso is a disc image.  it's not necessarily one format or another
[12:31] <mwe> ToHellWithGA: well I changed mirror but I don't know if security.ubuntu.com is mirrored
[12:31] <ToHellWithGA> is it a .iso of a DVD or VCD or of a disc with divx or some other codec on it?
[12:32] <_Roman> can anyone help me with a grub problem, or point me to the correct channel to get help?
[12:32] <K_plus_plus> does the firewall start automatically
[12:32] <T8y8> _Roman: the wiki may have some information to help you out, my friend had a similar problem, be we didn't get around to fixing it yet
[12:33] <_Roman> T8y8: ok, I will take a look
[12:33] <djm62> can anyone point me in the right direction? my phone is working in kmobiletools (send/receive sms), but I'd like a gnome app rather than running a gnome desktop with one kde app and all the kdelibs supporting it (it's a fine app, but it seems inelegant stuck in there)
[12:33] <nealmcb> Madpilot: well, what is the most common slowness now among repositories?  If it is security, then dropping the misleading and slightly rude Topic text "f the repos are slow: use a mirror!" might help, along with some more explanation in CommonQuestions.  But perhaps this isn't a common problem - just seems very unusual and worth dealing with, in my experience.  At any rate, thanks for the quick answers!
[12:33] <purplebody> hello, I am still having problems with my keyboard.  I tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to reset the keyboard configuration, but now I can't get anything from my colon/semi-colon key, or my tilde key
[12:33] <K_plus_plus> !firestarter
[12:33] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed with iptables (in the command line), firestarter (gui, can also setup connection sharing) or shorewall (web interface)
[12:34] <djm62> in case anyone actually has one, it's a motorola L6
[12:35] <godtvisken> Where are the keyboard layout files stored?
[12:35] <mwe> godtvisken: to change the layout edit xorg.conf
[12:35] <T8y8> I'm really running out of ideas here, and the forums have got nothing

[12:40] <nocarrier> ghost: hard drive, pen drive, etc...
[12:40] <ghost> sadly there is no usb/cd/anything
[12:41] <T8y8> That didn't seem to work
[12:41] <ghost> ugh
[12:41] <nocarrier> and it booted fine before?
[12:41] <T8y8> Where do I enter the key?
[12:41] <ghost> this is horrible

[12:41] <ghost> and then this is all i get
[12:41] <ghost> the dell screen
[12:41] <nocarrier> T8y8: you have to tell it where your wpa prog. is (ie wpa supplicant)
[12:41] <nocarrier> ghost: crashed?
[12:41] <nuaimat> hi guys , where is obotu the smart bot ? :D
[12:41] <EpP> is there a way to install ubuntu with a gnome based cd then install kubuntu and delete gonme?
[12:42] <nocarrier> !here
[12:42] <ubotu> I know nothing about here - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:42] <nuaimat> !ati
[12:42] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:42] <T8y8> That what the driver option is?
[12:42] <ghost> and then all black except "Error loading operating system"
[12:42] <sehute> EpP: yes
[12:42] <ghost> yeah i was doing a find in firfox
[12:42] <nocarrier> T8y8: what driver option?
[12:42] <ghost> and then it crashed
[12:42] <nocarrier> ghost: maybe your drive is dead
[12:42] <sehute> EpP: sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop; sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[12:42] <T8y8> If I hit No WPA, it changes to WPA and the text box says Driver
[12:42] <ghost> that is what im afriad of terrified of
[12:43] <ghost> please god no
[12:43] <nocarrier> T8y8: yes, you need a program like wpa supplicant
[12:43] <T8y8> I've got WPA supplicant
[12:43] <magus_x> lol
[12:43] <CheetahMk2> !source.list
[12:43] <ubotu> I know nothing about source.list - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu

[12:43] <ubotu> I know nothing about clamav - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:43] <EpP> sehute, that ubuntu-desktop is just a dummy file... so it doesnt take anything with it
[12:43] <T8y8> So I'm going to have to set up the key in wpa_supplicant.conf?
[12:43] <sehute> EpP: How about: sudo apt-get purge gnome
[12:44] <CheetahMk2> Where is the source.list file located? I succeeded in installing a minimal XFCE GUI on Ubuntu Server Dapper, but now I need to add some extentions, and that means I need to find the source.list file
[12:44] <sehute> EpP: why do you need to completely remove gnome anyways? Small disc? :)
[12:44] <godtvisken> Where are the keyboard layout files stored?
[12:44] <Volstrup> Anyone knowing how to install gmake? I really need to be able to use makefiles in Ubuntu...
[12:44] <maxkelley> canada, mr. phuzzle ;)
[12:44] <EpP> sehute, ill try it
[12:44] <sehute> EpP: if you remove ubuntu-desktop, then install kubuntu-desktop, then install and run deborphan, you should be pretty cleaned up
[12:45] <sehute> EpP: deborphan gives you a list of packages that just hangs around

[12:45] <nuaimat> hi guys, i have a problem installing fglrx driver , (i am installing it in order to enable 3d rendering on my ATI 7200)
[12:45] <nocarrier> T8y8: sorry, i don't use wpa
[12:45] <zoredache> Volstrup, sudo apt-get instll make  you probably really want apt-get install build-essentials though
[12:45] <nocarrier> bbl
[12:46] <Volstrup> zoredache: well, make isn't a package :)
[12:46] <boolka> Can anyone tell me the name of the app that works instead of a screensaver or perhaps part of one, that shows the summary of your computer: ie.  downloads ( speed/ %)  disk space, cpu , memory.... and it shows it on full screen not like gkrellem or karamba...I saw screenshots and themes of it somewhere and cant remember the name of it
[12:46] <CheetahMk2>  T8y8   I just set up WPA, from the command line.
[12:46] <Snake007uk> hey guys, where can i get Edgy desktop install CD
[12:46] <sehute> boolka: htop + xtrlock ?
[12:46] <CheetahMk2>  T8y8   Did you want to do it in gui or elsewhere?
[12:46] <boolka> sehute not sure, ill google it
[12:46] <sehute> boolka: (probably not)
[12:46] <T8y8> I had it working in GUI
[12:46] <T8y8> Using Network Manager
[12:47] <zoredache> Volstrup, 'sudo apt-get install build-essential' will probably have everything you want and need
[12:47] <CheetahMk2> I have a couple links for the CLI version
[12:47] <Volstrup> zoredache: sorry, it really is... Then I just cannot figure out why apt-get isntall make gave an error just seconds ago
[12:47] <T8y8> But, suddenly, it doesn't sae the key to the keyring, and I hve to reenter the WPA key everytime I log on
[12:47] <CheetahMk2> It doesn't show up in network manager as working, but it workls
[12:47] <sehute> boolka: htop + xtrlock looks quite leet, though ;)
[12:47] <T8y8> I followed the guide on Ubuntu forums titled "WPA 1 and 2 and NetworkManager"
[12:47] <Volstrup> zoredache: but thanks :)

[12:48] <magus_x> thanks

[12:50] <CheetahMk2> That's how you get WPA working from comand line
[12:50] <technel> Seriously, no one knows about the official ubuntu book being released or not?
[12:50] <ro3> hello, i'm thinking about makeing some homebuilt computers and selling them on ebay with ubuntu installed, am i allowed just to load ubuntu onto there and just sell it?
[12:50] <ghost> that you started ti up and it all went well until the detecting hardware bit
[12:50] <CheetahMk2> wpa_passkey will generate that odd looking file for you
[12:50] <EpP> rsk, well it is if im trying to get my ubuntu questions answered but i miss some answers because theyre not highlighted.
[12:50] <ghost> and then hanged on loading module 'ide-disk' for 'Linux ATA disk'....
[12:50] <ghost> what do you think that would mean ~?
[12:51] <T8y8> That's great
[12:51] <T8y8> But I already had WPA working.
[12:51] <T8y8> For weeks
[12:51] <T8y8> This ins't a WPA problem, but a keyring problem, it won't save to the keyring
[12:51] <CheetahMk2> then what were you asking
[12:52] <zoredache> ro3, that should be legal, yes.  If you want to be certain read the license files...
[12:52] <Tony_Mercury> I need some help, can someone help me?
[12:52] <nealmcb> well, I can dispell the rumor that there are not any mirrors of security.ubuntu.com out there.  I found one, but hesitate to mention it for fear of swamping my buddy.  Surely there is a comprehensive list out there somewhere, for the faq??
[12:52] <CheetahMk2> Hm... I remember something about WPA_SUPPLICANT not loading in the correct order on boot since it goes alphabetically
[12:52] <T8y8> But the KEYRING, how's that play in?
[12:53] <T8y8> It used to be functional, and I'm not sure what broke it
[12:53] <CheetahMk2> Not sure, all I know is I had to rename it to get it to always work.
[12:53] <nealmcb> ahh - 30 times faster than the official security mirror I was getting (auckland.ubuntu.com, for some reason - I'm in the US....)
[12:53] <CheetahMk2> hope you can find the problem, then
[12:53] <goonies> question, i have my wireless network running, but cant seem to download big files without them stalling, is there any fix i can do to mozilla
[12:53] <goonies> well firefox
[12:53] <Tony_Mercury> Right, i need some help everyone, i've been running Ubuntu 6.06 for a few days now, and i'm loving it! But, here is the problem i have an ATi Radeon 9800Pro 128MB RAM, and when i run XGL, it runs fine for about 5 minutes then hard locks the machine
[12:54] <yozBuntu> tony, might be heat
[12:54] <goonies> i never disconnect of irc or gaim, but as soon as i go to download something big with firefox it stalls during the process
[12:54] <yozBuntu> do you have a way to monitor the temps of your GPU/CPU
[12:54] <[kf] MasterWhiteB> hello people.
[12:54] <Madpilot> !sensor
[12:54] <ubotu> I know nothing about sensor - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:54] <Tony_Mercury> yozBuntu, Thats what i thought, but i play games like Counter Strike Source etc and they work fine
[12:54] <Madpilot> !sensors
[12:54] <ubotu> You might find something useful at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto
[12:54] <Madpilot> yozBuntu, see the URL the bot just posted ^^
[12:54] <yozBuntu> tony, well, i'd still be monitoring the temperatures
[12:54] <EpP> what are some tricks to speed up gnome? I have 512 + 64mb of ram on a 333mhz ppc. But i like how it looks, anything besides takeing awaay the eye candy?
[12:55] <Tony_Mercury> yozBuntu, I have the normal fan on and two 90MM fans cooling it as well..
[12:55] <NemesisUK> Tony_Mercury, which ATI driver are you using?
[12:55] <yozBuntu> GL games might not use the system exactly the same as Xgl
[12:55] <[kf] MasterWhiteB> anybody having any luck with any fserves in ubuntu?
[12:55] <yozBuntu> tony, you could also try asking in #ubuntu-xgl
[12:55] <yozBuntu> in addition to here
[12:56] <Tony_Mercury> 8.27.10 using the libGL.so.1.2 file from the prevous released drivers (because they are messed up in the latest ATi release?)
[12:56] <Tony_Mercury> yozBuntu, I might do if in here fails, i haven't checked the other channels out yet
[12:56] <NemesisUK> Tony_Mercury, only for the r200 based cards
[12:56] <Tony_Mercury> Xchat brought me straight here

[01:02] <zoredache> acojlo, if you really need something to run that often you probably would need to write a script that has a loop, that runs the command and then sleeps
[01:02] <nuaimat> can anyone help me please ?

[01:03] <[kf] MasterWhiteB> whats the prob bro?

[01:06] <linlin> /sbin/grub-install /dev/hda basically
[01:06] <eleazar123> hey guys, do any of you know of a guide for switching to unstable software? (i don't even know where to begin, something to search for would help)
[01:07] <nuaimat> guys , when i have two PC connected through a cross cable , how can i let them know the hostname of each other ?? so PC A knows the hostname/ip of PC B and vise versa ?
[01:07] <[kf] MasterWhiteB> yes sure. source o matic
[01:07] <frandavid100> eleazar123 you want to switch to edgy?
[01:07] <eleazar123> frandavid100, i'm not sure, i just want to be able to apt-get unstable software :\
[01:07] <frandavid100> edgy then
[01:08] <Chousuke> using edgy is probably not recommended. :P
[01:08] <zoredache> nuaimat, you updated the /etc/hosts file on each computer
[01:08] <frandavid100> you might want to wait a little, fonts are a bit screwed up right now
[01:08] <Chousuke> It'll probably break a lot.
[01:08] <NemesisUK> nuaimat, winbind package can do what you want
[01:09] <frandavid100> well it doesn't break on my compy
[01:09] <eleazar123> frandavid100, oh ok, so if i wanted to install something like gaim 2.0beta, i'll have to wait for edgy?? (or an updated version of rhythmbox)
[01:09] <m4rk> hi i use photoshop and i just started using gimp. should i learn the menus, tools etc or should i use that photoshop-gimp thing? which will be best for me?
[01:09] <frandavid100> but might on yours
[01:09] <frandavid100> hm
[01:09] <qwerty2k> hey, anyone know where i can download/get xgame?
[01:09] <frandavid100> there was a repo with the latest versions of gaim and rb
[01:09] <qwerty2k> caus i cant find it anywhere
[01:09] <frandavid100> it was somewhere in the ubuntuforums, let me check
[01:09] <eleazar123> frandavid100, ah that would be perfect, thanks
[01:10] <davegoodson> does any one know what's wrong with easy ubuntu? everytime i try to install stuff with it it says "Could not apply changes! Fix broken packages first."
[01:10] <chrisl1970> I installed Gaim 2.0 beta 3 in Dapper and it works fine
[01:11] <eleazar123> chris1112, what repo did you use?
[01:11] <chrisl1970> I'm having 'slang block' - what do you mean 'repo'?
[01:11] <chrisl1970> I'm old
[01:11] <eleazar123> repository :)
[01:11] <chrisl1970> Ah
[01:12] <chrisl1970> I didn't - got the source from the sourceforge site
[01:12] <eleazar123> ah ok, and then compiled yourself, well thats encouraging that it worked that way :)
[01:12] <davegoodson> does any one know what's wrong with easy ubuntu? everytime i try to install stuff with it it says "Could not apply changes! Fix broken packages first."
[01:13] <beshy> anyone know how to synch evolutions calendar to an ipod?
[01:13] <frandavid100> deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~seb128/deb ./
[01:13] <frandavid100> deb-src http://people.ubuntu.com/~seb128/deb ./
[01:13] <chrisl1970> eleazar123: Yeah - worked fine - seems like I had to upgrade a package (PHP, maybe?) but it was nothing major
[01:13] <frandavid100> there you are, gaim and rb should be there
[01:13] <nuaimat> davegoodson: use sudo apt-get install -f, then run easyubuntu again
[01:13] <davegoodson> nuaimat: oki
[01:13] <mwe> !gaim2
[01:13] <ubotu> Packages for Gaim 2 beta 3 can be found via https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2006-April/072721.html
[01:14] <FantasticFoo> can anyone tell me how to properly install xfce?
[01:14] <eleazar123> frandavid100 and chris1112, ok thanks :)
[01:14] <FantasticFoo> there are all these scattered packages, and there should be just one package that installs a working xfce installation
[01:14] <dsas> FantasticFoo: install the xubuntu-desktop package.
[01:14] <frandavid100> anyway edgy's RB is quite cooler... it has the lyrics plugin and the box art support
[01:15] <davegoodson> nuaimat: that didn't work
[01:15] <nuaimat> davegoodson: then sorry ,  i cant' help
[01:16] <smilhouse> hello
[01:16] <smilhouse> is anyone here
[01:16] <eleazar123> nope :P
[01:16] <kOpter> No, sorry :)
[01:17] <zoredache> FantasticFoo: do a sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[01:17] <smilhouse> oh! i guess i'm the only one in the cr
[01:17] <kOpter> Yep :)
[01:17] <mwe> yeah nobody is here but you
[01:17] <Jack_Sparrow> If I installed KDM in Ubuntu how do I get the system to use it instead of gdm, what file do I edit, xorg.comf?
[01:18] <smilhouse> its lonely beig me
[01:18] <farous> Jack_Sparrow: dpkg-reconfigure kdm
[01:18] <mwe> Jack_Sparrow: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm. kdm is somewhat broken though
[01:18] <kOpter> Yep :)
[01:18] <gdb> Jack_Sparrow: dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[01:18] <mwe> farous: that wont work
[01:18] <sm> hi all
[01:18] <m4rk> I mean gimpshop
[01:18] <sm> PDFs I create via "print to pdf" seem to show up garbled for other people.. perhaps on mac
[01:19] <VR_> hi everyone. when i run deborphan, it lists a few packages that are, i guess, "orphaned." is it safe to apt-get remove those?
[01:19] <farous> mwe: ok i can see your post about kdm being broken :)
[01:19] <Jack_Sparrow> gdb dpkg-reconfigure gdm or kdm
[01:19] <sm> little boxes instead of letters
[01:19] <sm> anyone else seen this ?
[01:19] <mwe> farous: it is (still)
[01:19] <smilhouse> does anyone have shell scripting knowledge
[01:19] <farous> Jack_Sparrow: either should work but as mwe indicated gdm is the one to go with now
[01:19] <gdb> Jack_Sparrow: gdm
[01:19] <Jack_Sparrow> thanks
[01:19] <kOpter> smilhouse > What do you want to do?
[01:19] <mwe> Jack_Sparrow: even if you use KDE i strongly recommend using gdm
[01:20] <adamant1988> hey, I'm having an issue with my wireless.  My Ubuntu seems to be unable to connect to a Wireless connection at my aunts, but it can wirelessly connect at home.  The card (belkin 54g laptop card) has both lights on and the 'activity' light is blinking but all of the Ubuntu software I try to run is failing to find the network... what could cause this? (also I am wirelessly connected through linspire's live cd mode right now so I do k
[01:20] <mwe> I don't know how kdm could even slip into stable in it's current state
[01:20] <Jack_Sparrow> It isnt for me. someone else wants to try it...
[01:20] <kOpter> mwe > It's working perfectly here...
[01:21] <nealmcb> Madpilot: An official mirror?  Probably not.  But tummy.com has been a solid name in the linux support business for over a decade.  The real question is, which versions of ubuntu actually check package signatures.  Anyone know?
[01:21] <VR_> is it safe to remove packages listed by deborphan?
[01:21] <mwe> kOpter: good for you. many people are having problems with it though
[01:21] <adamant1988> can anyone help me out
[01:21] <kOpter> mwe > 3.5.4?
[01:21] <mwe> kOpter: go to launchpad.net and search for kdm and you'll see
[01:22] <frandavid100> one more question please
[01:22] <mwe> kOpter: the ubuntu default version as well as the updated one from kubuntu.org
[01:22] <farous> adamant1988: depend on the setting of the router i doubt it has anything to do with ubuntu. did the setting is for static or dynamin ip and by the way do you happen to use the bcm43xx driver, native driver or ndiswrapper
[01:22] <mwe> kOpter: KDE itself is ok though
[01:22] <frandavid100> I'm on edgy so I have gaim 2... but libnotify support is not there, and guifications don't work
[01:22] <frandavid100> has anyone worked around this?
[01:23] <adamant1988> farous: I use the opensource driver that I foudn on the Ubuntu forums, yes.
[01:23] <kOpter> mwe > Ok..
[01:23] <mwe> kOpter: does sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart work properly for you?
[01:23] <farous> adamant1988: is the the bcm43xx
[01:23] <adamant1988> Also I am trying to connect using DHCP
[01:23] <adamant1988> I think so Farous.
[01:23] <kOpter> mwe > I'm at gdm at the moment :) Trying to get kompiz to work :)
[01:23] <mwe> oh
[01:24] <farous> adamant1988: the open source bcm43xx driver support b type of network. if the router is not set to b you will not be able to connect
[01:24] <farous> adamant1988: or at least it should support b
[01:24] <adamant1988> Oh so it can't connect to G?
[01:24] <mwe> kOpter: good luck 
[01:24] <zim> hi all anyone out there know if there is an easy to install ifolders for dapper and if not will edgy have it
[01:24] <farous> adamant1988: it is supposed to be backward compat. but sometimes it does not just connect
[01:25] <farous> adamant1988: if the router has g you will find a mixed mode in its setting so just set it to the mixd mode
[01:25] <brainformat> hi! i have problem with philips saa7133 tv card it works good with tv-time,but with no sound. can anyone help? thx
[01:25] <zim> when will i be able to apt-get install ifolders-server
[01:25] <kOpter> mwe > It's working perfectly :)
[01:26] <NeoThermic> adamant1988: is the card an F4D7011?
[01:26] <NeoThermic> *F5D7011
[01:26] <mwe> kOpter: good. I still wouldn't call it stable with all those bug reports though
[01:26] <kOpter> mwe> I don't start it on boot :)
[01:26] <adamant1988> NeoThermic would this be written on the bottom or how can I check?
[01:26] <NeoThermic> it is on the bottom
[01:26] <adamant1988> ok just a sec
[01:26] <NeoThermic> in the FFC ID box
[01:27] <adamant1988> Gah, I can't see it, the card is plugged in
[01:27] <adamant1988> I'm connected wirelessly though tLinspire
[01:27] <NeoThermic> if it is, I use ndiswrapper and that works fine
[01:27] <zim> has anyone here ever played with read about or installed ifolders on dapper
[01:27] <mwe> kOpter: personally I don't think "it works for 90%" is good enough
[01:27] <NeoThermic> what does lspci say for the card?
[01:27] <adamant1988> ok let me check in the control pannel
[01:27] <kOpter> mwe > I like playing with it :)
[01:27] <mwe> kOpter: I guess you can hear I'm kinda angry with it 
[01:28] <cplusplus> hi
[01:28] <cplusplus> whats the name of java enviroment runtime package?
[01:28] <eugman> Why are .iso's read only?
[01:28] <mwe> cplusplus:  sun-java5-jre
[01:29] <eugman> Is there a way to edit an iso?
[01:29] <adamant1988> hrmm what's the command to check what kind of card Ihave in?
[01:29] <cplusplus> sudo aptget sun-java5-jre
[01:29] <cplusplus>  ?
[01:29] <NeoThermic> lspci
[01:29] <xanatos_> hi
[01:29] <adamant1988> ok uno momento
[01:29] <mwe> eugman: mount it, copy the files and create a new iso file
[01:30] <NeoThermic> it should be the last line
[01:30] <icebank1> anyway
[01:30] <adamant1988> ok
[01:30] <mwe> eugman: after making your changes
[01:30] <xanatos_> sombody have run glx+compiz
[01:30] <NeoThermic> might say [AirForce One 54g] 
[01:30] <adamant1988> ok
[01:30] <adamant1988> I'll take a look when it comes up
[01:30] <cplusplus> sudo aptget sun-java5-jre    sudo: aptget: command not found
[01:30] <cplusplus>  hmm?
[01:30] <Madpilot> cplusplus, apt-get
[01:30] <mwe> eugman: I guess there are some gui programs that can do it as well
[01:30] <Gumby> apt-get
[01:30] <cplusplus> shit;/
[01:30] <cplusplus> ;)
[01:30] <farous> cplusplus: use synaptic
[01:30] <longwave> cplusplus: "sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre"
[01:31] <cplusplus> why intall?
[01:31] <cplusplus> hm
[01:31] <zim> ok this is a tradgedy please all you cleaver people out there look up ifolders they look the mutts nuts and from a backup point of view i cant wait please port it to a .deb someone
[01:31] <mwe> cplusplus: also enable universe and multiverse if you haven't
[01:31] <eugman> mwe, file-roller apparently isn't one of them.
[01:31] <Gumby> for someone with the name cplusplus you sure dont seem to care about synatax :)
[01:31] <mwe> !info sun-java5-jre
[01:31] <icebank1> some im trying to install ubuntu on this toughbook right, and so i boot up into the "install-livecd" thing and i double click on the "Install", I go through all of the standard steps, have ti erase my whole disk (default partitioning scheme), then i hit install. a few minutes later it said "Cound not create filesystem". And that's it. The end. Then the installer locks up.
[01:31] <ubotu> sun-java5-jre: Sun Java(TM) Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0. In repository multiverse, is optional. Version 1.5.0-06-1 (dapper), package size 7169 kB, installed size 15768 kB
[01:31] <sethk> eugman, you have to extract all the files from the .iso into a tree, make the changes you want in that tree, then use mkisofs to create a new iso.
[01:31] <adamant1988> no it says Broadcom 4306
[01:31] <mwe> eugman: I the command line type of person so I wouldn't know
[01:31] <Gumby> adamant1988: that card uses the bcm43xx module I believe
[01:31] <eugman> sethk, tree?
[01:32] <farous> adamant1988: that is nearly my card i have rev 03 here
[01:32] <Gumby> adamant1988: which should be detected by default
[01:32] <cplusplus> package sun-java5-jre not found;//
[01:32] <xanatos_> I run compiz.real but its say No composite extension
[01:32] <adamant1988> I'm using the open source broadcom drivers that I found on the ubuntuforums
[01:32] <sethk> eugman, tree.  that means all files and directories from some location.
[01:32] <xanatos_> somebody nkow why?
[01:32] <adamant1988> It's detecting my card just fine Gumby
[01:32] <adamant1988> The problem is that my card doesn't detect my aunts network, but it will detect the one at home
[01:32] <farous> adamant1988: it only connect to b
[01:32] <farous> adamant1988: so set your router
[01:32] <eugman> Ok, I thought the word tree had some special signifigance
[01:32] <adamant1988> Hrmm, I thought that I bought a G router for home, maybe it was B.
[01:33] <farous> adamant1988: ps. I found ndisrwrapper is still much faster as it uses G
[01:33] <mwe> sethk: that's what I suggested. Do you know if there is gui that can handle it behind the scenes? I think he's looking for that.
[01:33] <adamant1988> I know, but I wanted to use something OSS farous =\
[01:33] <adamant1988> I use OSS alternatives wherever available.
[01:33] <cplusplus> sun-java5-jre not found...why that?
[01:34] <farous> adamant1988: i did too till it became too irritating :)
[01:34] <kat2> I installed followed the nvidia drivers man, but somehow messed it up.  Now my Xserver isn't running.  How do uninstall all nvidia (back to how it was before) from CLI?
[01:34] <adamant1988> Haha, ok Farous how can I set this router to B?
[01:34] <mwe> cplusplus: enable universe and multiverse
[01:34] <eugman> I think I can handle it. I just need to scour the mkisofs man page for what to do.
[01:34] <Gumby> adamant1988: does your aunts router broadcast its essid?
[01:34] <mwe> cplusplus: it's in multiverse
[01:34] <Gumby> adamant1988: routers can be set to not broadcast their essids
[01:35] <mwe> eugman: it can be a bit overwhelming the first time
[01:35] <sethk> mwe, other than the mkisofs part, any file browser works.
[01:35] <cplusplus> multiverse?
[01:35] <adamant1988> as far as I know they didn't set it like that
[01:35] <cplusplus> how to enable it?
[01:35] <cplusplus> hm
[01:35] <adamant1988> because they don't know how, and don't care to.
[01:35] <sethk> eugman, it's trivial
[01:35] <godtvisken> Where are the keyboard layout files stored?
[01:35] <mwe> !universe > cplusplus
[01:36] <eugman> sethk, it looks like all the info I need is from the synopsis. Is that correct?
[01:36] <Gumby> adamant1988: from a command line you might try iwlist your_cards_name scan  (your_cards_name may be eth1 or wlan0 for example)
[01:36] <scrappy_> kat2: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:36] <adamant1988> it's eth1
[01:36] <adamant1988> in Ubuntu
[01:36] <sethk> eugman, yes.  is use -o filename -J -R
[01:36] <sethk> eugman, s/i/is/
[01:36] <mwe> godtvisken: /etc/X11/xkb/keymap/ I think
[01:36] <sethk> eugman, is/i/i/   ;
[01:36] <sethk> whatever
[01:36] <NeoThermic> adamant1988: ahh, we have diffrent cards (your's will be a 7000 or 7001)
[01:36] <adamant1988> Oh and Ubuntu did not automatically detect the card.. I had to install drivers for it to see it.
[01:37] <adamant1988> erm, firmware
[01:37] <adamant1988> my bad.
[01:37] <farous> adamant1988: ya for the firmware
[01:37] <kat2> scrappy_, It says I need an action option...
[01:37] <adamant1988> I heard that Ubuntu edgy is going to fix that.  I'm fine connecting through Linspire it's just I'm downright in love with Ubuntu and that's where I have Flock installed.
[01:37] <adamant1988> and I was hoping to write a blog while I was forced to be here :P
[01:38] <NeoThermic> heh
[01:38] <NeoThermic> yes, 2.6.17-rc2 onwards supports BCM43xx cards
[01:38] <ENE|Toxic> Using alsa drivers and intel card. How do I set default soundcard/device? (I plug in USB speakers and I want to redirect the output to them .. )
[01:38] <adamant1988> I hate KDE lol... it just bothers me.
[01:39] <mwe> adamant1988: I have a suggestion for you
[01:39] <adamant1988> anywho, so the problem is that this router is G and I need it set to B?
[01:39] <scrappy_> kat2: hmm try it again if that doesnt work sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf look for the driver  "nvidia" entry and change to "vesa"
[01:39] <Gumby> adamant1988: G is backward compatible with B
[01:39] <johnny_> when i use synaptic with most of the things i try installing it will say ubuntu-desktop is to be removed
[01:39] <johnny_> is there something wrong?
[01:39] <Gumby> adamant1988: did you try the command I said?
[01:39] <skypa> hi, I'd like to know how to run a process as a user with a negative "nice"
[01:39] <adamant1988> But apparently the firmware I'm using only works for connecting to a B network.
[01:39] <skypa> :)
[01:39] <adamant1988> Gumby:  lspci?
[01:39] <piclez41> hi, how can I setup java JAVA_HOME in Ubuntu please?
[01:40] <Gumby> adamant1988: no  iwlist eth1 scan
[01:40] <mwe> johnny_: it's a meta package, doesn't provide any actual software
[01:40] <farous> adamant1988: you can set your router in a mixed mode b and g
[01:40] <piclez41> I can't find the java path
[01:40] <mwe> johnny_: it's safe to remove it
[01:40] <adamant1988> I'm not in Ubuntu Gumby...
[01:40] <vdepizzol> there is some library to use my GTK themes in QT apps?
[01:40] <johnny_> i marked all available upgrades and it said that xserver-common should be removed too
[01:40] <johnny_> it is
[01:40] <adamant1988> so the command will do me no good.
[01:40] <kat2> scrappy_, I don't know how to properly use nano once I'm in it.  Like how to save and quit...
[01:40] <johnny_> so i will still be able to log into gnome?
[01:40] <Gumby> adamant1988: and?
[01:40] <mwe> johnny_: yes
[01:40] <NeoThermic> is there a way to get the development version of unbuntu on a live cd?
[01:40] <Gumby> ah, well.  once in ubuntu then try it
[01:40] <johnny_> ok
[01:40] <johnny_> thanks
[01:40] <Gumby> and also do as farous suggested
[01:40] <mwe> johnny_: removing ubuntu-desktop will not remove any actual software
[01:40] <Gumby> it should be by default usually.
[01:41] <scrappy_> kat2: make the changes and then ctrl-o to save i think
[01:41] <adamant1988> farous is there a switch to do that or does it need to be done through the computer the router is connected to?
[01:41] <johnny_> alright thanks mwe
[01:41] <scrappy_> kat2: then ctrl-x to exit
[01:41] <kat2> scrappy_, What button does it refer to when it says ^R?
[01:41] <farous> adamant1988: you need to connect to the router through its address normally
[01:41] <kat2> scrappy_, I've got the file open in nano, but all I se is blank screen.
[01:41] <adamant1988> so I would need the routers address...
[01:42] <farous> adamant1988: check also if they have some secur using mac addresses
[01:42] <Gumby> adamant1988: what is your gateway right now?  that is the routers IP
[01:42] <scrappy_> kat2: exit back out you must have mistyped or i told you wrong its sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:42] <adamant1988> just a sec Gumby
[01:42] <visik7> http://stream.qtv.apple.com/events/aug/wwdc_2006/m_wwdc_2006_350_ref.mov <- anyone can play it ?
[01:42] <Gumby> adamant1988: its most likely http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1
[01:42] <kat2> scrappy_, The X11 needs to be caps then?
[01:42] <adamant1988> yeah it's the first
[01:43] <adamant1988> no wait
[01:43] <adamant1988> it's 192.168.2.6
[01:43] <scrappy_> kat2: yep everything will be case sensitive
[01:43] <Gumby> thats your gateway address?
[01:43] <Jack_Sparrow> 192.168.0.1
[01:43] <Gumby> lol, someone has definately changed settings in that router if that is your gateway addres
[01:43] <Gumby> s
[01:44] <adamant1988> no it's 192.168.2.1
[01:44] <yozBuntu> gumby, man i had that happen to me recently
[01:44] <adamant1988> that's the gateway
[01:44] <yozBuntu> some idiot neighbor of mind hacked my wifi router and installed linux on it ;)
[01:44] <yozBuntu> while i wasn't watching
[01:44] <yozBuntu> i go back to configure it one day and it's like 'you are not allowed to administrate this device'
[01:44] <icebank1> yozBuntu, and like if you were watching the router
[01:44] <icebank1> yozBuntu, you would have noticed?
[01:44] <Gumby> adamant1988: then that is the IP of your router.  type that in a web browser and you will most likely get a login prompt for the router
[01:44] <kat2> scrappy_, ok, I did see the command you typed above in the notes.  But it had action options with "phigh" and some other stuff.  It said that command would auto-update..
[01:44] <yozBuntu> ice, well i probably would have noticed it wasn't working as well.
[01:45] <adamant1988> for which I don't know the user and pass lol
[01:45] <icebank1> :P
[01:45] <icebank1> yozBuntu, i did it
[01:45] <Gumby> adamant1988: what kind of router is it?
[01:45] <adamant1988> Belkin
[01:45] <yozBuntu> ice, thing is, it was changing the firmware that tipped me off
[01:45] <Gumby> hrm, dunno the default login for that one
[01:45] <yozBuntu> i check that i can get into any router i'm using on a fairly regular basis
[01:45] <icebank1> yeah that's pretty disrespectful yozBuntu
[01:45] <yozBuntu> i know there's a lot of kids out there iwth nothing better to do
[01:45] <Jack_Sparrow> Sounds like time for a hardware reset
[01:45] <yozBuntu> i think he turned it into a LAN extention
[01:46] <mico> anything know how I can get br0 to have a static IP? I don't know why I have a bridge in the first place, ubuntu just thinks I need a bridge instead of using eth0. if I bring it down and try to use eth0, it doesn't work...
[01:46] <yozBuntu> so that he could access his wireless from further away
[01:46] <yozBuntu> using mine as an access point
[01:46] <icebank1> haha
[01:46] <icebank1> neat
[01:46] <Gumby> adamant1988: do you have a model?
[01:46] <scrappy_> kat2: just try editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change nvidia to vesa then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart to start x back up
[01:46] <adamant1988> I can't see it right now...
[01:46] <Gumby> adamant1988: try admin/admin
[01:46] <yozBuntu> ice, he shouldn't have locked me out of it
[01:46] <adamant1988> Oh well, it's not mission critical, I'll just have to hate the connection here and wait for edgy so I can connect to it.
[01:47] <yozBuntu> ice, i would have let him continue using it as an access point if he hadda let me see it ;)
[01:47] <yozBuntu> even though i have no idea who he is
[01:47] <icebank1> hmm
[01:47] <yozBuntu> i also had the wifi router set up to hand out incorrect IP addresses ;)
[01:47] <blabi1> Dodzey you round?
[01:47] <ENE|Toxic> How do I set my usb-speaker to be the default output for sound, using alsa and intel soundcard, every time I plug them in ?
[01:47] <yozBuntu> so it was handing out 192.168.0.xx addresses, my network operates on an entirely different subnet
[01:47] <yozBuntu> so anyone getting an IP from my wifi router would be SOL
[01:47] <yozBuntu> no access to inets.
[01:47] <yozBuntu> that's probably why he hacked it heh
[01:47] <blabi1> what should happen when I connect my jumpdrive?
[01:47] <yozBuntu> looking for a way out ;)
[01:48] <icebank1> lol
[01:48] <NemesisUK> yozBuntu, what model is it
[01:48] <yozBuntu> nemesis, older netgear
[01:48] <yozBuntu> white, rounded corners, single antenna
[01:48] <NemesisUK> got a model number
[01:48] <yozBuntu> i was NOT impressed with netgear wifi routers
[01:48] <yozBuntu> circa 2002/2003
[01:48] <yozBuntu> they sucked.
[01:48] <mico> i'm not impressed with any wifi router
[01:48] <yozBuntu> the network switch part was nice
[01:48] <yozBuntu> netgear always makes good 'switches'
[01:49] <yozBuntu> but their routers, f that.
[01:49] <yozBuntu> nemesis sec
[01:49] <kat2> scrappy_, I tried it.  X still broke.  Trying sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[01:49] <Gumby> I am guessing that adamant1988 is playing with router settings as he hasnt said that user/pass diddnt work
[01:50] <jmac__> Anyone use Putty here?
[01:50] <maddydude>  I use putty
[01:50] <adamant1988> hrmmm
[01:50] <maddydude> but on windows though :)
[01:50] <micahcowan> jmac__, yes, when I'm in Windows...
[01:50] <NemesisUK> never used netgear but mates a network admin and with a model number if their a way to reset it he'll know and I'll ask him as he's sitting next to me
[01:50] <Gumby> putty is for windows users
[01:50] <adamant1988> so why can Linspire connect?
[01:50] <Gumby> heh
[01:50] <yozBuntu> nemesis, this is the closest to what i have
[01:50] <adamant1988> Linspire just connected right out of the flipping box.
[01:50] <yozBuntu> http://www.netgear.com/Products/RoutersandGateways/GWirelessRouters/WGR614.aspx
[01:50] <jmac__> What do you suggest I use instead of Putty?
[01:50] <yozBuntu> basic wireless G router
[01:50] <yozBuntu> i don't use the router/wifi part of it anymore
[01:50] <Gumby> adamant1988: paste the output to iwconfig to pastebin
[01:50] <jmac__> For cisco router telnet sessions
[01:50] <yozBuntu> after the guy put the firmware on it
[01:50] <kat2> scrappy_, switching to user name ian.  be on in a sec.
[01:50] <adamant1988> ok
[01:50] <yozBuntu> he screwed it up ;)
[01:50] <micahcowan> jmac__, what, on Linux? Just ssh.
[01:51] <yozBuntu> when i reset to hardware factory defaults
[01:51] <micahcowan> jmac__, or telnet
[01:51] <yozBuntu> the router interface never came back
[01:51] <yozBuntu> so now it's dead ;)
[01:51] <blabi1> can anyone here tell me what to do to get my jumpdrive 'readable'?
[01:51] <yozBuntu> except for the raw network switch part
[01:51] <jmac__> For telnetting to Cisco routers. I like having the cabability to add all of my routers in Putty and then connecting
[01:51] <sethk> blabi1, did it automount, or did you mount it?
[01:51] <farous> blabi1: it should be mounted as plug and play
[01:51] <yozBuntu> jmac
[01:52] <yozBuntu> jmac you could probably run putty.exe under WINE
[01:52] <blabi1> didn't mount it...thought that an icon should appear on the desktop
[01:52] <yozBuntu> i've run winSCP under wine
[01:52] <yozBuntu> it worked
[01:52] <jmac__> Putty runs natively in linux
[01:52] <yozBuntu> oh
[01:52] <yozBuntu> whatdoyaknow
[01:52] <blabi1> it is going to be used for an xp system too.......so i don't want to format it or anything.
[01:52] <jmac__> I love SecureCRT, but I can't find anything close in Linux
[01:52] <ian_> scrappy_, Ok, I'm back.  But my card still isn't installed... Not sure where I went wrong.
[01:52] <farous> blabi1: check if you are in the plugdev group type:13 Irssi: Join to #ubuntu was synced in 12 secs
[01:52] <micahcowan> jmac__, well, telnet <hostname> will do what you need. As to quicker means, well, you could do stuff like "alias tmyhost='telnet myhost'"
[01:53] <farous> blabi1: type groups in a terminal
[01:53] <yozBuntu> secureCRT is nice but i can't handle the licensing anymore
[01:53] <yozBuntu> i bought secureCRT like 8 years ago.
[01:53] <yozBuntu> then, four years ago they're like 'sorry that license doesn't work anymore'
[01:53] <micahcowan> jmac__, I think most people needing ssh or telnet access, just use the respective clients on terminal.
[01:53] <yozBuntu> vandyke is a bunch of snobs anyway.
[01:53] <blabi1> farous..then what?
[01:53] <yozBuntu> when i used to ask them for tech support.
[01:53] <farous> blabi1: are you in that group
[01:53] <scrappy_> ian_: the problem is you tried to setup nvidia drivers and now cant get into the gui right?
[01:53] <blabi1> what group?
[01:53] <jmac__> I know but the nicer programs keep a database of all your devices that you can just click to connect
[01:54] <blabi1> faruous........i am a noob, sry
[01:54] <yozBuntu> i don't understand this database business
[01:54] <yozBuntu> putty keeps a session history too right
[01:54] <godtvisken> Does anyone know where the keyboard layout files are stored?
[01:54] <jmac__> correct
[01:54] <farous> in a terminal type groups . See if one of the outpust to that command is plugdev
[01:54] <yozBuntu> i have all my sessions in putty on my win32 stations
[01:54] <yozBuntu> how2hitwrongbutton
[01:54] <jmac__> but disconnects you after you logout, I want to be able to connect to multiple devices
[01:54] <yozBuntu> jmac, i don't get it
[01:54] <blabi1> farous; brady adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev lpadmin scanner admin
[01:54] <yozBuntu> 'connect to multiple devices' in the same window ?
[01:54] <ian_> scrappy_, Actually, I got Xserver back online using "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg".  Now xserver is working but I still don't have my nvidia card enables...
[01:55] <ian_> scrappy_, *enabled
[01:55] <adamant1988> Gumby: 'http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19986
[01:55] <farous> blabi1: you are in the group the usb drive should be automounted so what happen when you hook it up
[01:55] <scrappy_> ian_: youre using a i686 or 386 kernel right?
[01:55] <jmac__> In putty if I logout, putty closes. I want to be able to logout go back to the Putty GUI and connect to another device, or have the GUI stay up launch a terminal so I can connect to multiple devices
[01:55] <yozBuntu> jmac
[01:55] <blabi1> Farous: nothing happend
[01:55] <yozBuntu> tell putty not to close on exit
[01:55] <eimajenthat> which is faster? ubuntu or kubuntu?
[01:55] <ian_> scrappy_, Yep.  And it's an older nvidia, so it should be the legacy package...
[01:56] <farous> blabi1: open the file browser (nautilus) click on the computer icon and see if you can see your jump drive there
[01:56] <userundefine> eimajenthat, that's like asking is a turtle or tortoise faster
[01:56] <ian_> scrappy_, I;m working from the man at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[01:56] <micahcowan> jmac__, bash's command completion will use entries from ssh's known_hosts to tab-complete hostnames... it does this for telnet too, but that might mean manually adding entries to ssh's known_hosts for those...
[01:56] <blabi1> farous, how do i open nautilus?
[01:56] <farous> blabi1: it should be also under this directory /media/
[01:56] <jmac__> I did, but it doesn't go back to the GUI it just leaves a blank terminal
[01:56] <adamant1988> eimajenthat: not really either, if you're speed conscious Xubuntu is the option
[01:56] <micahcowan> jmac__, (and you'd need to enable bash's completion features, probably by sourcing /etc/bash_completion in ~/.bashrc).
[01:56] <Gumby> adamant1988: this command "should"  get you online in ubuntu sudo iwconfig eth1 essid belkin54g ap 00:11:50:9E:66:52  && dhclient eth1
[01:56] <godtvisken> If I go into System -> Preferences -> Keyboard, where are the keymaps that are listed stored?
[01:57] <blabi1> Farous: what should?
[01:57] <jmac__> let me try the bash solution
[01:57] <hasmademethirsty> I'm having this reoccuring problem that really got to figure out... here's my pastbin  ...  http://pastebin.ca/121381
[01:57] <farous> blabi1: under the menus look for file browser
[01:57] <ian_> scrappy_, First step being "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-legacy"  which I've done and just rechecked...
[01:57] <adamant1988> Gumby: let me take that down and save it to my Ubuntu desktop
[01:58] <adamant1988> I'll try it out and if it works you'll know, if not I'll be back on Linspire
[01:58] <farous> blabi1: ok this is better short cut on the men Places > computer
[01:58] <Gumby> adamant1988: good luck.  adamant1988 one quick question...  what is the output of lsmod in linspire
[01:58] <adamant1988> hrmmm just a sec
[01:58] <scrappy_> ian_: ok sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` just copy that and paste into a terminal
[01:58] <ian_> scrappy_, Also installed nvidia-glx-dev because I wasn't sure if it was the same as 3d grapicks acceleration (reasonably certina it's not, but..)
[01:59] <adamant1988> it's using Ndiswrapper if that's what you're after
[01:59] <recon0> What should I use to open .au files?
[01:59] <Gumby> adamant1988: ah
[01:59] <Gumby> adamant1988: have you setup ndiswrapper in ubuntu?
[01:59] <adamant1988> no, I was using the open source firmware.
[01:59] <ian_> scrappy_, Ok, wait uninstalled the dev package, not what I needed.
[02:00] <adamant1988> I prefer to use foss packages when they're available... unless it horribly inconveniences me.
[02:00] <Gumby> adamant1988: it may not work with your card.  my card gets detected and the bcm43xx module loaded but alas the card does not work.
[02:00] <scrappy_> ian_: you can remove the dev package or leave it however you like
[02:00] <Gumby> I HAVE to use ndiswrapper
[02:00] <ian_> scrappy_, Ok, input what you said to... No errors returned..
[02:00] <adamant1988> I had to download special firmware for it from the forums, but it works at home just fine
[02:00] <Gumby> adamant1988: ah, so the card does indeed work then?
[02:01] <adamant1988> oh yeah, it just can't connect to my aunts network.
[02:01] <scrappy_> ian_: lets try sudo nvidia-glx-config enable again and then alt-ctrl-backspace
[02:01] <adamant1988> that's what's confusing me, Linspire can connect right OOTB but Ubuntu can't.
[02:01] <Gumby> ah, ok then.  well.. give that a try.  alternately, have you tried running wlassistant?
[02:01] <adamant1988> Yeah,
[02:01] <adamant1988> can't find the network.
[02:01] <adamant1988> nor can Kwireless, Wifi-Radar, or network manager
[02:01] <scrappy_> ian_: what were looking for is that pretty nvidia logo when it starts back up
[02:02] <Gumby> strange.  well, try what I said.  also something that might be of some use is the output of iwlist eth1 scan
[02:02] <sethk> adamant1988, might need to load a kernel module
[02:02] <magus_x> what videocard do you have?
[02:02] <recon0> What player do I open ".au" files with?
[02:02] <Gumby> adamant1988: allthough, that command doesnt work for me.  tells me my card doesnt have scanning capabilities.  I think it might have ot do with ubuntu's wireless-tools package as I dont have a problem scanning in any other distro
[02:02] <ian_> scrappy_, Yeah, I did this before I reinstalled last night.  Worked fine. got the logo, all was well.  About to restart Xserver, brb.
[02:02] <adamant1988> But apparently Linspire can do it ootb, which is what's confusing me... so I Need to use ndiswrapper if I want to be able to connect to most networks?
[02:02] <adamant1988> or would my aunts connection be an exception to the rule
[02:02] <userundefine> recon0, just try any audio player.
[02:03] <Gumby> adamant1988: well, it could be something to do with the firmware you are using.  there are bound to be some differences as you are using two different drivers between the distros
[02:03] <adamant1988> I don't want to use the proprietary pieces if I'm only going to be slightly inconvenienced.
[02:03] <farous> adamant1988: there is one catch with ndiswrapper you can not use encription so even wep will not work
[02:03] <hasmademethirsty> http://pastebin.ca/121381 just wondering if anyone could recognize this error.
[02:03] <adamant1988> So no matter what I use there is a 'catch'
[02:03] <ian_> scrappy_, Worked!
[02:03] <Gumby> farous: ndiswrapper can use encryption.  or do you mean specifically that card
[02:04] <scrappy_> ian_: congrats :)
[02:04] <ian_> scrappy_, Thank you for the help!  :D
[02:04] <magus_x> nice ian_  :)
[02:04] <farous> Gumby: i tried all i can and it do not work here which is basically the same as his card. another revision maybe but it is the same card
[02:04] <eimajenthat> Does Ubuntu work with XFS?
[02:04] <skypa> si senor
[02:04] <userundefine> eimajenthat, yep.
[02:05] <eimajenthat> userundefine, as the root partition?
[02:05] <Gumby> farous: it works here just fine. its not ndiswrapper that doesnt support it though.  if it doesnt work then its his inf+ndiswrapper.
[02:05] <adamant1988> farous so If I use the ndiswrapper I won't be able to connect to encrypted connections, if the OSS firmware it won't connect to G?
[02:05] <magus_x> eimajenthat, : i prefer reiserfps
[02:05] <magus_x> *reiserfs
[02:05] <farous> Gumby: and it was basically 11 MB/s open source 54MB/s ndiswrapper. I went with the fastest
[02:05] <farous> adamant1988: give me a min wil fetch the link for you
[02:06] <eimajenthat> I just successfully installed Kubuntu, rebooted, and it hadn't touched the partition
[02:06] <Gumby> adamant1988: I'd suggest trying what I said with the iwconfig command and also the iwlist eth1 scan.  If that doesnt work try ndiswrapper.  Just dont forget you'll need to manually remove the open source driver first using rmmod
[02:06] <farous> adamant1988: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185174
[02:06] <userundefine> eimajenthat, only if you have a /boot partition with ext2 or something else.  You can't boot from XFS.
[02:06] <eimajenthat> userundefine, weird, why?
[02:06] <userundefine> eimajenthat, not really sure.
[02:07] <farous> Gumby: i guess so for my card using alternative drivers tried 7 so far all for my card and wep encryption never worked
[02:07] <Gumby> farous: crappy
[02:07] <Gumby> I'd love to get my card working natively so I can use kismet.
[02:07] <farous> Gumby: yap the one that came with window never worked period lol
[02:08] <userundefine> eimajenthat, actually, hang on, not too sure about that.  it's a grub issue, I know, but might no longer be a problem.
[02:08] <Gumby> farous: I assumed you like at the ndiswrapper wiki?
[02:08] <eimajenthat> using ext3 this time, cross fingers
[02:08] <userundefine> eimajenthat, ext3's tried and true
[02:08] <Gumby> "It seems that if you get the following string back: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g]  802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) that this guide is VERY unlikly to work for you although it does sometimes, dont ask me why, but basically every "no" vote and "this didnt work for me" post comes from a BCM4318 user...."
[02:08] <Gumby> 0000:05:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g]  802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
[02:08] <Gumby> d'oh!
[02:09] <farous> Gumby: yes. I was so excited with the bcm43xx drivers i even ran it under kernel-2.6.17-4 no vail though
[02:09] <eimajenthat> userundefine, but xfs is nifty and cool, and fast
[02:09] <adamant1988> but I'm on broadcom 4308...
[02:09] <adamant1988> erm 6 4306
[02:09] <Gumby> adamant1988: yeah, I am just stating my case
[02:09] <Gumby> looks like I am stuck with ndiswrapper
[02:10] <userundefine> eimajenthat, yes.  But it's not necessarily suited for a root partition, IMO.  It's great for large files, and there are none on /.  It wouldn't be bad for /home, though, if you have lots of large files like mp3s or videos
[02:10] <adamant1988> is there anyway that I could use 'both' to connect?
[02:10] <Gumby> adamant1988: no
[02:10] <userundefine> eimajenthat, ah, here's the thing : "GRUB has supported XFS on /boot for a long time. The only thing that's not supported is if you install the bootloader to an XFS partition (as opposed to installing it to MBR)"
[02:10] <adamant1988> =\  Oh well, Wifi in linux will eventually get better.
[02:10] <Gumby> userundefine: it depends what you want...  tried and true, or a bit more speed.  I'll stick with tried and true 100% of the time
[02:11] <userundefine> Gumby, I agree, I do too
[02:11] <Gumby> adamant1988: it will once mfg's start writing better linux drivers
[02:11] <markedwards> hi, can someone tell me where to look to determine what DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS are available for a given package?
[02:11] <adamant1988> as long as I can connect at the local wifi hot spots I'll be happy
[02:11] <userundefine> You also can't resize xfs, which is what drove me away from it
[02:11] <adamant1988> and If I won't be able to use encryption then I suppose I should stick with the OSS drivers, they're a bit slower, but they work...
[02:11] <hui___> this is a joke man :D
[02:12] <Gumby> adamant1988: you should still give it a shot :)  you might get lucky
[02:12] <gnomefreak> hui___: do you need something or are you here to troll?
[02:12] <hui___> rdesktop, connecting to win 2k3 terminal server. It creates a temp license. I now have 5000+ different certs for the client
[02:12] <adamant1988> how do I set up ndiswrapper?  is it difficult?
[02:12] <hui___> on the win2k3 server, its great. I'll never run out of licenses because it creates a temp one every connect :)
[02:12] <markedwards> anyone? pretty please?
[02:12] <hui___> free software is wonderful! :D
[02:13] <Gumby> adamant1988: nope.  you just need your network cards .inf from windows :)
[02:13] <Gumby> markedwards: no idea.  try #debian?
[02:13] <markedwards> Gumby: yeah, I like it here better, its friendlier :)
[02:13] <markedwards> Gumby: guess that's a good idea though
[02:13] <jmac__> I just read that Securecrt works through Wine, giving it a shot now
[02:14] <Gumby> markedwards: sod off.  better?  hehe
[02:14] <adamant1988> yeah, those debian people have some teeth on them
[02:14] <icebank1> hitherho
[02:14] <marshall__> whats happening guys
[02:14] <userundefine> marshall__, not much, watching some tennis.
[02:14] <IRCMonkeyX> hi, i added firestarter to start-up. but when i open computer it says "you must have root user privileges to start firestarter"
[02:14] <adamant1988> markedwards: RTFM newb.   There, consider this #debian :P
[02:14] <Gumby> I should try that howto and see if I can get the bcm43xx driver working with my card
[02:14] <markedwards> it seems like no matter what you ask, they just say "n00b!
[02:14] <cparker> markedwards, try #debian on OFTC, not Freenode. The OFTC channel is the official one.
[02:14] <marshall__> userundefine, tennis eh? whos playing?
[02:14] <markedwards> cparker: thanks!
[02:15] <userundefine> marshall__, james blake.
[02:15] <ENE|Toxic> How can I find out what signals the kernel is leaving during some event (ie keystroke) ? Does anyone have nice tutorial or similar which describes how to catch that signal in c/java/bash whatever?
[02:15] <Gumby> #debian is usually ok if you ask intelligent well thought out questions
[02:15] <no0tic> in what groups is the default user after installation?
[02:15] <Gumby> no0tic: I can msg you the output of grep terry /etc/group
[02:15] <userundefine> no0tic, use the "groups" command if you're the default user to see.
[02:15] <Gumby> terry = my username
[02:15] <adamant1988> I cant wait until 9 years from now when you can get Ubuntu preinstalled :)
[02:15] <markedwards> yeah, I don't mean to only diss #debian, but it is friendlier here, plus I am using ubuntu
[02:16] <adamant1988> and everything is going to work in Linux about as well as it does for the Macs
[02:16] <no0tic> userundefine, I've done some dirt :)
[02:16] <no0tic> Gumby, thanks
[02:16] <no0tic> Gumby, whois terry? :)
[02:16] <IRCMonkeyX> hi, i added firestarter to start-up. but when i open computer it says "you must have root user privileges to start firestarter"
[02:17] <Gumby> no0tic: there you go
[02:17] <Gumby> no0tic: hopefully you can see it
[02:17] <Gumby> no0tic: my login name is terry :)
[02:17] <farous> IRCMonkeyX: what startup do you mean in your gnome session
[02:17] <scrappy_> IRCMonkeyX: firestarter is really just somehting to configur iptables you only need to run it if you want to change a rule or something
[02:17] <farous> IRCMonkeyX: firestarter is started by default as you loginto the pc. it is a frontend for iptab
[02:17] <markedwards> got the answer, incidentally, and no attitude either! -- its debian/rules
[02:18] <jmac__> FYI SecureCRT runs like a champ using WINE if anyone cares
[02:18] <IRCMonkeyX> farous: yes, i added it from system/prefences/sessions
[02:18] <markedwards> thanks guys...
[02:18] <Gumby> markedwards: ask an intelligent question you get an intelligent answer :D
[02:18] <farous> IRCMonkeyX: you do not need to do that for it is starts as you start ubuntu
[02:18] <markedwards> Gumby: not always, I assure you
[02:18] <IRCMonkeyX> farous: but i cant see it from system monitor ??
[02:18] <jdmpike_> what can I do not to overwhelm http://archive.ubuntu.com and http://security.ubuntu.com when I am running apt-get up*
[02:19] <farous> IRCMonkeyX: if you just need to see what is blocked you can fire it up manually later but it is already working in the background for you
[02:19] <jdmpike_> I am only getting 16k/s from those sources, are there mirrors that I can point to?
[02:19] <userundefine> jdmpike_, run them once a week I guess.
[02:19] <jdmpike_> yeah, I just installed though, and I need to update now
[02:19] <IRCMonkeyX> farous: how can i be sure that it works background?
[02:19] <jdmpike_> I can't update though, package downloads are timing out
[02:20] <Gumby> ok, I am gonna go try out this bcm43xx fix and see if it works with my card  ttfn y'all
[02:20] <IRCMonkeyX> farous: i mean where to see
[02:20] <scrappy_> IRCMonkeyX: sudo iptables -L will list rules if its not working it will just show inbound outbound and forward with an accept next tothem
[02:20] <farous> IRCMonkeyX: what scrappy_ said. again firestarter is just a gui front end to the real built in firewall iptables
[02:21] <purplebody> hi everyone, I have a problem with the keyboard.  I am running 6.06 Server in VirtualPC.  Currently my colon and tilde keys are not working.  I didn't have this problem when I installed the 6.06 LTS desktop edition.  Any ideas for fixing this?
[02:21] <thomas> hey guys i'm having an error with firefox...            "/usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/firefox/components/libdocshell.so: undefined symbol: PR_GetPhysicalMemorySize"  Can somebody please help me with this error?
[02:21] <farous> IRCMonkeyX: so it is started by default for everyone either you installed firestarter or not. you just changed its configuration with firestarter
[02:22] <IRCMonkeyX> farous: i didnt configre it, i mean i didnt define any rules
[02:22] <thomas> IRCMonkeyX: assuming you have a US keyboard?
[02:23] <IRCMonkeyX> thomas: i have turkish q  keyboard
[02:23] <farous> anyone where the bootup log is stored in am searching under /var/log so we can show it to IRCMonkeyX
[02:23] <thomas> IRCMonkeyX: then you need to reconfigure xserver-xorg to reflect that.
[02:24] <IRCMonkeyX> thomas: could you tell me the command pls, newbie here
[02:24] <thomas> !resolution
[02:24] <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
[02:24] <thomas> follow that link.
[02:24] <thomas> halfway through, you will be able to fix your keyboard settings as well.
[02:25] <IRCMonkeyX> thomas: is it for firewall ? i couldnt understand the relation ??
[02:26] <thomas> IRCMonkeyX o i'm sorry i meant that for purplebody
[02:26] <IRCMonkeyX> ok :)
[02:26] <linuxd00d> bloody foxes
[02:27] <thomas> purplebody, follow the link for that link
[02:27] <icebank1> $ sudo apt-get install build-essential
[02:27] <icebank1> E: Couldn't find package build-essential
[02:27] <icebank1> ...?
[02:27] <recon0> I'm trying to play an .au file. XMMS won't play it, and audacity gives me some "can't initialize sound I/O" error.
[02:27] <recon0> Any help?
[02:27] <polpak> icebank1: what version of ubuntu do you have?
[02:27] <NemesisUK> icebank1, you have to  universe repo's active
[02:27] <icebank1> polpak, latest brand new 6.06
[02:27] <icebank1> NemesisUK, ok
[02:27] <IRCMonkeyX> icebank1: try for repo's
[02:27] <micahcowan> icebank1, "sudo apt-get update" first, perhaps?
[02:28] <polpak> !info build-essential
[02:28] <ubotu> build-essential: informational list of build-essential packages. In repository main, is optional. Version 11.1 (dapper), package size 6 kB, installed size 48 kB
[02:28] <polpak> it's there
[02:28] <icebank1> micahcowan, yeah i forgot, it's been a while, plus enable "universal"?
[02:28] <micahcowan> NemesisUK, icebank1 universe should not be needed.
[02:28] <icebank1> ok
[02:28] <polpak> icebank1: it's in main, not universe
[02:28] <recon0> For some reason, Ubuntu won't let me play a .au file. XMMS won't play it, and audacity gives me some "can't initialize sound I/O" error.
[02:28] <polpak> icebank1: either your repos are messed up, or you need to run sudo apt-get update
[02:29] <NemesisUK> micahcowan, I had to uncomment universe to get it for some reason
[02:29] <brandon_> is there some way aside from keeping a browser contsantly open, that i can keep in constant contact with my gmail account?
[02:29] <micahcowan> strange...
[02:29] <recon0> brandon: try gmail-notify.
[02:29] <NemesisUK> micahcowan, yup
[02:29] <micahcowan> are you sure it wasn't the apt-get update afterwards that fixed it?
[02:29] <recon0> brandon_: try gmail-notify.
[02:29] <Celeste> hi
[02:29] <brandon_> recon-0: what is it?
[02:29] <Celeste> Can anyone tell me how to make a partiton *bootable*  in QTparted (in the installer)
[02:29] <Celeste> ?
[02:29] <brandon_> recon0: what is it?
[02:30] <NemesisUK> nope, i'd already done apt-get update, but when I uncommented universe  it turned up
[02:30] <recon0> brandon_: a program that will check your gmail account for mail. If there's any, it will pop up a window. Clicking on it will open up gmail.
[02:30] <recon0> brandon_: "sudo apt-get install gmail-notify && gmail-notify".
[02:31] <recon0> Can anyone help me play a .au file? For some reason, Ubuntu won't let me play one. XMMS won't play it, and audacity gives me some "can't initialize sound I/O" error.
[02:31] <thomas> recon0 i believe there is a package called libau
[02:32] <micahcowan> IIRC, you can cat file.au > /dev/dsp...
[02:32] <micahcowan> :-)
[02:32] <recon0> thomas: not that I can see.
[02:32] <micahcowan> (that /may/ be only with OSS)
[02:33] <Oni-Dracula> recon0, got any love for me?
[02:34] <recon0> Oni-Dracula: I tried contacting you earlier.
[02:34] <recon0> Oni-Dracula: Good news, it works. Bad news, it sucks. doesn't accept mouse clicks, no in-movie options.
[02:34] <Oni-Dracula> yeah well sleep is more important than gnash
[02:34] <nathanial> Hi gents. I have a question about FLASH Media.
[02:34] <Oni-Dracula> as in...youtube interface is a no go?
[02:35] <nathanial> I THINK I downloaded the most current packages, but I am still unable to view FLASH 8 videos.  . .
[02:35] <saltydog> hello all
[02:35] <recon0> nathanial: bad luck. the latest flash version for linux is 7.
[02:35] <nathanial> recon0 that stinks
[02:36] <saltydog> yeah the flash things sucks
[02:36] <recon0> nathanial: the press release says that macromedia is going to skip 8 and go to 8.5. that means longer wait.
[02:36] <Oni-Dracula> adobe (formerly macromedia) hates us
[02:36] <nathanial> recon0 thanks anyways. Looks like I can't play any more BMX highlands. . . craptastic. . .
[02:36] <Gumby> excellent.  the howto worked.  hehe.  I am ndiswrapper free
[02:36] <recon0> nathanial: you COUlD try installing ie and flash 8 on wine. might work.
[02:37] <saltydog> does anyone know why my xmms won't work with streamtuner?
[02:37] <lwizardl> every few minutes i lose networking on my server box, any ideas what coul cause it
[02:37] <nathanial> recon0 how would I go about doing that? and are there and precautions???
[02:37] <lwizardl> *could
[02:37] <Gumby> lwizardl: not sure but you might try having a peak in /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog
[02:40] <NemesisUK> nathanial, flash 8.5 howto with wine http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_flash_player
[02:40] <Gumby> farous: thanks for that URL.  it worked like a charm

[02:43] <Roots> I have a sound problem that occurs 50% of the time I boot up my laptop. When I run a program that uses SDL_mixer (or a web-based movie viewer) I get no sound. The program tells me that there is no available audio device, but I can still hear music play in XMMS and there are system beeps
[02:43] <radar1976> ok I have a question... I have PPC ubuntu installed and the networking no longer works
[02:44] <radar1976> I have checked the route
[02:44] <Roots> I have no idea how to fix it. I looked on the wiki yesterday and found nothing that helped ;(
[02:44] <radar1976> I have checked the IP on the ath0 interface

[03:02] <gregg__> Jack_Sparrow: chances are that it appears as a standard serial port
[03:03] <Jack_Sparrow> So try them all
[03:03] <gregg__> yes.. you could do that :)
[03:03] <gregg__> though it should appear in the kernel log, too

[03:05] <EvoJ> Hello
[03:06] <yozBuntu> nemesisUK, i just realized that freenode.net was blocking my msgs to you
[03:06] <yozBuntu> stupid registration bla bla
[03:06] <ishorseman> will the umbuntu install recognise and deal with the intell 945 chip set -- are there special drivers to make the 3d accl wotk
[03:06] <EvoJ> I'm a Linux noob and had a WPA question
[03:06] <yozBuntu> long story short, the netgear router was remotely firmware-upgraded to something foreign, probably linux-based
[03:06] <yozBuntu> when i hit the factory hardware reset button it totally messed it up.
[03:06] <yozBuntu> the router part of its brains are gone ;)
[03:08] <EvoJ> I installed Network Manager and it seems to be working. It sees my wireless SSID but when I try to connect WPA does not show up as a security option
[03:08] <yozBuntu> nemesis, i can't get to the interface (http) to reflash it
[03:08] <yozBuntu> (i also can't msg yet)
[03:09] <NemesisUK> yozBuntu, to msg you need to register you nick
[03:09] <yozBuntu> nemesis, yea i know.  i have issues with that.
[03:09] <EvoJ> WEP is the only option. WPA Supplicant is installed as well
[03:09] <EvoJ> Anyone have any Ideas
[03:09] <yozBuntu> long time ago i messed up a registration with the nickserv only to discover there is no automated way to unscrew it
[03:09] <yozBuntu> and no one on freenode.net seems to want to automate that part
[03:09] <yozBuntu> so i have to track down an admin and verbally bug them to fix something?
[03:09] <yozBuntu> there's thousands of users on here.  it's not efficient.
[03:09] <yozBuntu> so i boycott registration atm ;p
[03:10] <SurfnKid> does anyone know about carriers
[03:10] <batman> hello
[03:11] <NemesisUK> yozBuntu, fair enough.
[03:11] <EvoJ> Anyone that knows anything about Network Manger here?
[03:11] <ishorseman> batman hello back
[03:11] <batman> that's funny, i was just about to ask about network manager
[03:11] <batman> hey ishorseman
[03:11] <ishorseman> not me
[03:12] <Pjott> Everything related to the Alt-Gr button, does not work. Such as when I'm writing to an e-mail, the "at" like: me(at)hotmail.com does not work. What's Wrong?
[03:12] <batman> what's your issue with network manager
[03:13] <rave> i wonder why on dapper drake there are no 2.4,x images any more
[03:13] <ishorseman> batman i don't manage anything how goes the battel
[03:13] <yozBuntu> gotta fly, helping someone set up a wide-area network wifi hotspot tonight
[03:13] <yozBuntu> bbl
[03:13] <EvoJ> WPA Doesn't show up as a security option only WEP
[03:13] <Pjott> see ya yozBuntu! :)
[03:13] <ryan_naruto> has anyone used vmware???
[03:13] <Pjott> Anyways...
[03:13] <EvoJ> WPA supplicant is installed
[03:13] <Pjott> Does anyone know what's wrong with my Keyboard ?
[03:14] <rave> and word on  Broadcom support yet ?
[03:14] <batman> my network manager was working perfectly and I was connecting to my wpa network.  then all of a sudden it stopped showing that I had a wireless NIC.  it only thinks I have a wired connection
[03:14] <sproingie> the hell
[03:14] <EvoJ> Wierd
[03:14] <batman> I am not exactly sure how to troubleshoot it

[03:14] <magus_x> i need help
[03:15] <EvoJ> Mine seems to working and it sees my SSID, just no WPA
[03:15] <EvoJ> I can connect using wep
[03:15] <ryan_naruto> is there an alternative in vmware i would like to use wine but it cant run the applications I want???
[03:15] <wmp> ?
[03:15] <Kyral_Laptop> qemu?
[03:15] <EvoJ> I just want to use WPA
[03:15] <batman> are you using network manager or network monitor?
[03:15] <magus_x> i am trying to use cp, but i get an error on some dirs and it dont works, errors
[03:16] <EvoJ> Network Manager
[03:16] <batman> i have two applets at the top.  one for each.  i was able to select wpa on network manager, but not on network monitor
[03:16] <Kyral_Laptop> magus_x: cp doesn't recurse into directories by default
[03:16] <magus_x> magus@ubuntu:~/Desktop/cedega-5.1.3-OES$ sudo cp usr/* /usr/
[03:16] <magus_x> cp: omiting directory `usr/bin'
[03:16] <magus_x> cp: omiting directory `usr/lib'
[03:16] <magus_x> cp: omiting directory `usr/share'
[03:16] <EvoJ> hmmm
[03:16] <EvoJ> Oh well
[03:16] <magus_x> Kyral_Laptop, : so what should i do? :(
[03:16] <Kyral_Laptop> magus_x: pass it the -R option to make it recurse into directories
[03:16] <EvoJ> I guess I'll remove it and try to reinstall it
[03:17] <Kyral_Laptop> magus_x: for more cp info "man cp"
[03:17] <magus_x> oh, ok
[03:17] <magus_x> thanks
[03:17] <EvoJ> Maybe I left something out
[03:17] <batman> you installed wpa supplicant and updated everything?
[03:17] <ryan_naruto> is there an alternative in vmware i would like to use wine but it cant run the applications I want???
[03:17] <EvoJ> Yep
[03:17] <Kyral_Laptop> ryan_naruto: like what?
[03:17] <batman> when you left click on the applet you can choose a wireless network to connect to?
[03:18] <EvoJ> Yep
[03:18] <magus_x> oh
[03:18] <magus_x> thanks!!
[03:18] <Kyral_Laptop> magus_x: man is your friend for the command line :D
[03:18] <batman> yeah i'd reinstall it
[03:18] <EvoJ> cool
[03:18] <EvoJ> Thanks
[03:18] <Kyral_Laptop> True command line gurus don't remember all the commands, we just know how to use man :P
[03:18] <i_is_cat> lol
[03:18] <userundefine> man man
[03:19] <Gumby> i_is_cat: what kind of config are you wanting?
[03:19] <Kyral_Laptop> man woman
[03:19] <Kyral_Laptop> segmentation fault core dumped
[03:19] <i_is_cat> well for one thing it should give me the option of whether i want encryption on or off and the channel to use would be nice as well
[03:19] <Kyral_Laptop> i_is_cat: man iwconfig
[03:19] <i_is_cat> i just left the encryption thing blank and it worked
[03:19] <magus_x> nice
[03:19] <magus_x> cedega working
[03:20] <magus_x> o/
[03:20] <i_is_cat> but the option would be nice you know a nice radio button or something to enable/disable
[03:20] <Gumby> i_is_cat: why?
[03:20] <Kyral_Laptop> want me to write something in RubyQT for you? :P
[03:20] <i_is_cat> because people who don't know jack shit about wireless like me get confused
[03:20] <i_is_cat> like i said
[03:20] <i_is_cat> i got it to work
[03:21] <i_is_cat> i actually had very little difficulty
[03:21] <Gumby> i_is_cat: its pretty simple.  you input a key then wep is enabled.  you dont input a key and its disabled
[03:21] <i_is_cat> i just thought the ui was lacking
[03:21] <Kyral_Laptop> Wireless...is sketchy
[03:21] <Gumby> lol, so you got it to work with very little difficulty yet you complain at lack of options?
[03:21] <i_is_cat> yep
[03:21] <Gumby> so, it works... it didnt confuse me with options, and I am pissed off at that
[03:21] <NewUbuntuUser> im putting ubuntu on my cousin's computer and it shows the maximum resolution as 640 x 480 but the system is capable of getting WAY higher than that how do i fix this? (right now it's not installed just running off of cd)
[03:22] <i_is_cat> lol it did confuse me
[03:22] <Gumby> you just cant please some people
[03:22] <i_is_cat> i was like wtf
[03:22] <Gumby> whats to be confused with?
[03:22] <i_is_cat> how do i say no encryption
[03:22] <Gumby> if you dont use wep then dont input anything
[03:22] <i_is_cat> then i was like
[03:22] <i_is_cat> how do i set the channel?
[03:22] <Gumby> you dont need to set a channel
[03:22] <dennis_> does sound blaster have a channel
[03:22] <Gumby> the wireless scans all chanels and knows which channel a given access point is on
[03:22] <Kyral_Laptop> i_is_cat: iwconfig <device, usually wlan0> channel <channel number>
[03:23] <i_is_cat> ya thats what i figured when i got it up and running
[03:23] <Kyral_Laptop> Gumby: not neccessarily true
[03:23] <i_is_cat> pretty much all i had to do was reset the router
[03:23] <i_is_cat> i dunno why but its a pos router so thats probably it right there
[03:23] <Kyral_Laptop> oh you can also set channel to "auto"
[03:23] <NewUbuntuUser> im putting ubuntu on my cousin's computer and it shows the maximum resolution as 640 x 480 but the system is capable of getting WAY higher than that how do i fix this? (right now it's not installed just running off of cd)
[03:23] <Kyral_Laptop> seriously man iwconfig :P
[03:23] <manuel_> oi
[03:23] <Gumby> Kyral_Laptop: the only case that would be true is if you had two ap's with the same essid on different channels.  but the odds of that are fairly low
[03:24] <i_is_cat> i will keep that in mind Kyral_Laptop :) i was usin ifconfig
[03:24] <crogue5> so what can i do to see the installer if my xorg.conf has all resolutions and even recognizes the voodoo3 in the computer and the monitor, but only allows 640x480... anything i can do to get ubuntu installed ? i am using the desktop CD btw
[03:24] <Gumby> Kyral_Laptop: indeed man iwconfig
[03:24] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell NewUbuntuUser about resolution
[03:24] <Kyral_Laptop> Gumby: I like to define it whenever there are two WLANs in range just to be sure
[03:24] <crogue5> lol same issue as NewUbuntuUser
[03:24] <Kyral_Laptop> oh btw, to scan for networks, iwlist <device> scanning as root
[03:24] <Gumby> iwlist <device> scan
[03:24] <Kyral_Laptop> make sure the device is actually up first
[03:25] <dennis_> sound blaster channel any one have it
[03:25] <crogue5> ubotu, tell crogue5 about resolution
[03:25] <Kyral_Laptop> I usually start my laptop with network devices off then manually bring them up
[03:25] <Gumby> Kyral_Laptop: and in ubuntu you dont have to be root.  which I dont like much myself personally..  but its easy for a rookie
[03:25] <Tutter> hehe like ppl getting on IRC as root
[03:26] <rippon> I have a question
[03:26] <rippon> About Linux
[03:26] <Kyral_Laptop> Gumby: I know, but I use Archlinux
[03:26] <Kyral_Laptop> !help
[03:26] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage
[03:26] <Kyral_Laptop> ...wrong one
[03:26] <Kyral_Laptop> !ask
[03:26] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:26] <NewUbuntuUser> i did what ubotu told me to and i got a "* Starting GNOME Display Manager...                [fail] "
[03:26] <rippon> Why exactly can't Windows applications run natively in Linux?
[03:26] <Kyral_Laptop> rippon: oy...
[03:26] <Kyral_Laptop> okay
[03:26] <Kyral_Laptop> here goes
[03:26] <sproingie> rippon: because it's not windows
[03:26] <NewUbuntuUser> because the windows binaries are different than linux
[03:26] <Kyral_Laptop> rippon: There is a different ELF kinda binary thing
[03:26] <rippon> That is what I said to my friend
[03:26] <Kyral_Laptop> also no DLLs in Linux
[03:26] <Gumby> Tutter: heh, well... its sorta odd.  ubuntu uses sudo, by default doesnt allow root users to login via gdm, yet allows access to normally root owned commands like ifconfig/iwconfig/iwlist etc
[03:27] <rippon> but she needs a more technical answer
[03:27] <Kyral_Laptop> hmm
[03:27] <DanaG> !aiglx
[03:27] <ubotu> I know nothing about aiglx - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[03:27] <hawkaloogie> rippon, basically: the C compiler and libraries are different
[03:27] <Kyral_Laptop> I actually have to think about this one
[03:27] <Tutter> Gumby yeah,, had to get used to using sudo to prefix all cmds
[03:27] <NewUbuntuUser> "* Starting GNOME Display Manager...                [fail] " when i type sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart
[03:27] <Tutter> why not use sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart   ?
[03:27] <sproingie> the libraries.  compiler is just fine.
[03:27] <userundefine> rippon, because Microsoft doesn't make the Windows libraries and APIs available
[03:27] <hawkaloogie> rippon, they communicate with different kernels, using different libraries, and different techniques
[03:27] <Kyral_Laptop> rippon: Its a different class of binary. I think Linux's is called "ELF"
[03:27] <sproingie> ohhhh nelly
[03:28] <rippon> ok
[03:28] <Kyral_Laptop> you can recompile most things back and forth
[03:28] <Kyral_Laptop> like the simple C++ hello world
[03:28] <godtvisken> If I go into System -> Preferences -> Keyboard, where are the keymaps that are listed stored?
[03:28] <Kyral_Laptop> #include <iostream>
[03:28] <Kyral_Laptop> using namespace std;
[03:28] <rippon> Ok, thanks guys
[03:28] <Kyral_Laptop> int main yadda yadda
[03:28] <prophet> how do i capture screen in xzine
[03:29] <Kyral_Laptop> you can take that sourcefile and it will compile on Windows and on *Nix
[03:29] <Kyral_Laptop> Actually GCC is also used on Windows....
[03:29] <radar1976> ok still need some help....
[03:29] <Kyral_Laptop> wow I didn't expect that question :P
[03:29] <Kyral_Laptop> prophet: Uhh I think it MIGHT be C
[03:29] <Kyral_Laptop> prophet: but I may be thinking of another player....
[03:29] <crogue5> NewUbuntuUser, type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:30] <prophet> gxine
[03:30] <quiksand> gcc on cygwin is on windows :P
[03:30] <radar1976> my wireless network is not working
[03:30] <crogue5> NewUbuntuUser, hit ALT+CTRL+F1
[03:30] <Kyral_Laptop> prophet: I dunno...I don't use GXine
[03:30] <Kyral_Laptop> I use Codiene
[03:30] <prophet> what do you use
[03:30] <radar1976> I have the route correct, the correct wireless network connected, an IP assigned to ath0
[03:30] <Kyral_Laptop> simple Xine based player for KDE
[03:30] <radar1976> but ping will not work to 4.2.2.1 or the gateway
[03:30] <Boxy_Brown> anyone have a few minutes to help out with the fabulous bcm4318 NIC?
[03:30] <Kyral_Laptop> I like it over Kaffine
[03:30] <crogue5> NewUbuntuUser, and use that command and go through the wizard and it should fix it, i jsut did it, and it fixed my issue (same as yours) and now i can see the installer totally
[03:30] <radar1976> I get sendto msg: permission denied
[03:30] <quiksand> radar1976: how about the key?
[03:30] <prophet> Kyral what is C in
[03:31] <radar1976> no key required
[03:31] <Kyral_Laptop> prophet: I think its in Codiene...I dunno
[03:31] <Kyral_Laptop> I saw it in the right click menu of SOME player
[03:31] <prophet> k
[03:31] <radar1976> I did create a tun2 for MOL
[03:31] <quiksand> radar1976: maybe you could renew your lease?
[03:31] <quiksand> if you're on dhcp that is
[03:31] <dennis_> i can t get my sound blaster live 24 to work can i get a holla pls
[03:31] <threat2> dhcp is great
[03:31] <radar1976> quiksand, static IP
[03:31] <Kyral_Laptop> When you use as much software as I do...you get confused
[03:31] <jbroome> HOLLA!
[03:31] <quiksand> ah ok
[03:32] <quiksand> threat2: it sure is mate
[03:32] <radar1976> it worked before, same laptop running MAC OS X with the same IP works fine
[03:32] <threat2> quiksand, :)
[03:32] <quiksand> ok first can you ping your own static ip?
[03:32] <threat2> radar1976, static IP for your Internal network? or for the Internet?
[03:32] <radar1976> internal
[03:32] <threat2> radar1976, *smack* use DHCP!
[03:32] <godtvisken> If I go into System -> Preferences -> Keyboard, where are the keymaps that are listed stored?
[03:33] <NewUbuntuUser> crogue5 what wizard?
[03:33] <radar1976> I can ping the IP
[03:33] <threat2> radar1976, apt-get install dhcp3-server
[03:33] <jbroome> threat2: *smack* that doesn't solve is problem, that just gets around it
[03:33] <radar1976> threat2, no dhcp for wireless, security reasons... now stop telling me how to setup my network
[03:33] <crogue5> NewUbuntuUser, type this command: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:33] <quiksand> ok now if you check your routing table, is your gateway there
[03:33] <crogue5> NewUbuntuUser,  and you will get a wizard to run through
[03:33] <sethk> I'm happy.  I'm printing photos that I processed with gimp on a windows box and they look as good as the photoshop prints on that box.  Now if I can figure out how to make a photo printer work at high resolution in linux...
[03:33] <sethk> probably too much to expect at the moment.
[03:34] <threat2> radar1976, *smack* setup hostapd then to security layer 1 / 2, then use dhcp!
[03:34] <kt0xd_> hello, please sorry my english
[03:34] <threat2> radar1976, thats how I have mine setup
[03:34] <kt0xd_> i need help with fluxbox
[03:34] <radar1976> threat2, NO DHCP
[03:34] <threat2> radar1976, DHCP!
[03:34] <threat2> :P
[03:34] <quiksand> haha
[03:34] <kt0xd_> i compile it and every ok
[03:34] <radar1976> I have DHCP on the network but not for wireless
[03:34] <threat2> radar1976, trust me, it is the easiest way!
[03:34] <radar1976> for you it is
[03:34] <kt0xd_> but i try to open any aplicaction and don't do nothing
[03:34] <quiksand> radar1976: routing table? gateway there?
[03:35] <jbroome> threat2: i have some servers on my network, should i make them dhcp too?
[03:35] <radar1976> my quiestion is OS related  NOT network related
[03:35] <radar1976> the routeing table is correct
[03:35] <sethk> doesn't really matter as long as the addresses are unique.  Nothing magic happens to a wireless connection during dhcp
[03:35] <radar1976> route add default gw gatewayip ath0
[03:35] <threat2> radar1976, are you running hostapd?
[03:35] <radar1976> that is what I use
[03:35] <sethk> if you want to use the same box on more than one 'net, then dhcp is the sensible thing to do.
[03:35] <radar1976> hostapd ?  where is that on
[03:35] <eletido> anyone here familiar with setting up the special keys on Thinkpad?
[03:35] <radar1976> the laptop?
[03:35] <radar1976> and what is that program for?
[03:35] <threat2> jbroome, sure :) just make at least one server, the DHCP server, static, and rest can have static entries based on their MAC address
[03:36] <threat2> radar1976, apt-get
[03:36] <kt0xd_> fluxbox need something especial for open aplicationes??
[03:36] <radar1976> ok I never had to use that before, why should I need it now?
[03:36] <Mewshi> anyone here live in england?
[03:36] <Rug> Howdy all
[03:37] <quiksand> radar1976: do u have any other similar machines?
[03:37] <threat2> radar1976, hostapd is a wireless AP software that gives you WPA, and some nice authentication methods, like PEAP with CHAP (for the windows users) and radius backend
[03:37] <DanaG> argh, my DHCP client doesn't work.
[03:37] <DanaG> It fails to obtain an IP address.
[03:37] <radar1976> quiksand, I have 5 computers Plus 15+ virtual systems running
[03:37] <threat2> radar1976, because it is better than using WEP?
[03:37] <quiksand> he doesnt even have wep threat2
[03:37] <quiksand> so dont bother ;)
[03:38] <threat2> Mewshi, I went to England last month :) does that count?
[03:38] <radar1976> threat2, I don't need WEP
[03:38] <quiksand> )( r0x
[03:38] <threat2> quandar, what? he doesn't have WEP or WPA?
[03:38] <antisocial_boris> how can i get ubuntu to login so that i have a workspace that is text only?
[03:38] <threat2> radar1976, what card do you have?
[03:38] <quiksand> i was in england for a year
[03:38] <radar1976> I have no DHCP for the wireless, it works nicely for all my systems ...for somereason my ubuntu was working but now is not working after I installed MOL
[03:38] <threat2> radar1976, wireles card even
[03:38] <DanaG> Oh, and my WiFi card disappeared from network-admin
[03:38] <radar1976> netgear
[03:38] <crogue5> NewUbuntuUser, you get it? after the wizard you have to kill the gui, CTRL+ALT+Backspace
[03:38] <quiksand> sorry, whats MOL?
[03:38] <radar1976> Mac On Linux
[03:38] <threat2> radar1976, netgear, what model?
[03:39] <aujordanh> if I want to automate a process (macro) scan image, compress, and email is there a mac program for that or is a python script better?
[03:39] <aujordanh> Correction, is there a program like that similar to mac's automator
[03:39] <radar1976> WG511T (just so you know, I DO have working drivers!)
[03:39] <Rug> aujordanh: I would imagine a script
[03:40] <radar1976> the card CAN scan for wireless networks
[03:40] <kt0xd_> how i can open an aplication on fluxbox
[03:40] <eletido> is there way to set my wireless to not have security requirements?
[03:40] <aujordanh> kt0xd_,  right click for a menu item or to open a shell
[03:40] <Rug> kt0xd_: right-click on an empty part of the desktop, that will give you the menu
[03:40] <kt0xd_> yes the menu is ok
[03:40] <herbal> im on dapper in 1440x900 but the screen is kinda stretched and doesent really fit can anyone help me?
[03:40] <derrickh> is there a way to configure firefox to open a new window if firefox is already running?  im running in dual-head mode and would like to use the same profile for both monitors.
[03:40] <Rug> aujordanh: deamn, ya beat me
[03:40] <threat2> radar1976, ok I have that same card too
[03:40] <kt0xd_> but this not work
[03:41] <Rug> kt0xd_: what happens when you right-click?
[03:41] <steve_Laptop> ? I tryed maping my network drive on xp, it see's it, but I cant connect to it ware do i go next to fix this?
[03:41] <byen>  i have a question and i need your suggestion.. none of my usb drives mount unless i type sudo modprobe -r ehci-hcd . what can i do to mount em automatically
[03:41] <radar1976> ok
[03:41] <Rug> =)
[03:41] <threat2> radar1976, and the computers you connect to your wireless have the same cards too? or crappier ones?
[03:41] <kt0xd_> i can see the menu, this is configurate ok
[03:41] <radar1976> no they have different cards
[03:41] <kt0xd_> but the aplication dont open
[03:41] <threat2> radar1976, do they at least support WPA?
[03:41] <radar1976> dlink 530GPlus
[03:42] <kt0xd_> i need another thing?
[03:42] <Rug> kt0xd_: what happens when you open an app from a terrm ?
[03:42] <radar1976> for desktop and airport extreme for the two macs
[03:42] <threat2> radar1976, ok, sounds like they would have WPA
[03:42] <kt0xd_> this open,
[03:42] <threat2> radar1976, so why not install hostapd?
[03:42] <radar1976> I have NO encryption at my house!
[03:42] <radar1976> open network!~!!
[03:42] <kt0xd_> look i compiled fluxbox, everything ok
[03:43] <Tutter> i missed what radar is trying to accomplish...
[03:43] <tate_> hello, I am looking to resize an Ubuntu partition, gparted seems to have failed me
[03:43] <threat2> radar1976, Why don't you want to use encryption?
[03:43] <kt0xd_> but on fluxbox no open nothing ever a terminal
[03:43] <tate_> is there a better tool to resize partition with?
[03:43] <Rug> kt0xd_: what is your native language?
[03:43] <herbal> can anyone help me with my resolution issue?
[03:43] <threat2> tate_, gparted is great
[03:43] <radar1976> encryption is not required
[03:44] <threat2> radar1976, why not?
[03:44] <kt0xd_> spanish jejej sorry :(
[03:44] <wasauce> does anyone know what script is called when the shutdown command is issued or when from the gui one selects shutdown?
[03:44] <radar1976> I don't care if someone uses my internet, they won't be getting far
[03:44] <threat2> radar1976, you need to use DHCP so it is required :P
[03:44] <jbroome> radar1976: /ignore threat2  if you need to
[03:44] <threat2> lol
[03:44] <threat2> ok ok I will drop it then :)
[03:44] <Rug> kt0xd_: that is ok, you might be more comfortable in #ubuntu-es
[03:44] <radar1976> thanks jbroome
[03:44] <threat2> but seriously, use WPA (hostapd), setup DHCP, and sit back
[03:45] <radar1976> jbroome, can you give me some pointers as to why my network is not working any more?
[03:45] <kt0xd_> Rug: yes but nobody want help me
[03:45] <byen> what can i do as none of my usb drives mount unless i type sudo modprobe -r ehci-hcd . what can i do to mount em automatically.. i have tried blacklisting it.. but that does nothing
[03:45] <cjb> Hi.  At some point late in the alternate CD install, my laptop screen goes black and stays black.  I'm installing with alternate because I know that Xorg crahes my laptop -- does the alternate CD try to run Xorg?
[03:45] <kt0xd_> i have all ok
[03:45] <DanaG> "is there a way to configure firefox to open a new window if firefox is already running?  im running in dual-head mode and would like to use the same profile for both monitors."
[03:45] <radar1976> the drivers are loaded, default gateway is correct, I can ping the card IP but not the gateway IP
[03:45] <jbroome> radar1976: let me scroll back and look, hang on
[03:45] <DanaG> try Tab Mix Plus
[03:45] <batman> anyone use network manager?

[03:47] <radar_1976> yers threat2 they worked two days ago
[03:47] <Rug> Does anybody know how to get the deskbar-applet to load/run in fluxbox?
[03:48] <batman> anyone know how to troubleshoot this? - I have been using my wireless card with network manager and all of a sudden network manager doens't think I have a wireless NIC.
[03:48] <cjb> Rug: Can't, it's a gnome-applet applet.
[03:48] <Rug> cjb: bummer
[03:48] <Rug> cjb: know of any apps that will access beagled that I can run in flux?
[03:48] <cjb> Rug: beagle-search

[03:49] <DanaG> Oh, I just had my wifi card disappear too, though I wasn't using it anyway.
[03:49] <Rug> I am still trying to decide if i like beagle or not
[03:49] <Rug> kt0xd_: what is happening now?
[03:49] <batman> DanaG did you get it back?
[03:49] <DanaG> Try this: modprobe -r the module, then re-modprobe it.
[03:49] <kt0xd_> Rug: i'm sorry?
[03:49] <Rug> kt0xd_: ok, right-click and select xterm

[03:51] <Lord-ChewY> anyone know the name of the glut library?
[03:51] <Rug> kt0xd_: something is very screwed up...
[03:51] <kt0xd_> Rug: i need fluxspace??? or tab???
[03:51] <batman> i'm not sure what module to do this for.  i can still see the wireless networks when I go to the network config, but just not in network monitor
[03:52] <Lord-ChewY> i am trying to compile a program with anjuta using the glut library
[03:52] <radar1976> GRRR  Ok I can ping the laptop IP no problem, but the gateway gives me a response  ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted
[03:52] <Lord-ChewY> i have the dev package installed
[03:52] <Rug> kt0xd_: you don't need fluxspace, what do you mean by tab?
[03:52] <kt0xd_> Rug: becose i have lynx, vim and nothing open?
[03:52] <Lord-ChewY> but anjuta says it can't find the file
[03:52] <jbroome> radar1976: i'm not sure what's going on with your machine

[03:53] <radar1976> thats it
[03:53] <kt0xd_> Rug: tabs is somethin to have the help on line of fluxbox
[03:53] <Rug> kt0xd_: I am sorry, I can't help you.  Something is very screwy on your end if nothing is opening up.  Can you boot into gnome and open any apps in there?
[03:53] <kt0xd_> Rug: http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/docbook/en/html/chap-tabs.html

[03:54] <herbal> geforce 6800 ultra
[03:54] <DanaG> aah.
[03:54] <Rug> kt0xd_: hit Ctrl + Alt + F2   then login and type:  sudo apt-get install xterm
[03:54] <radar1976> where is the iptables rules config found?
[03:55] <radar1976> I have 0.0.0.0  DROP  I need that removed!!
[03:55] <radar1976> grrr
[03:55] <DanaG> Is that the native resolution of your screen
[03:55] <DanaG> ?
[03:55] <herbal> yea
[03:55] <radar1976> I did iptables --flush
[03:55] <Tutter> radar /etc/rd.d ?
[03:55] <radar1976> still not able to ping
[03:55] <Tutter> er rc.d
[03:56] <Tutter> no wait. *thinks*
[03:56] <kt0xd_> Rug: please wait a minute ok
[03:56] <Rug> kt0xd_: ok
[03:56] <radar1976> I have rc1 rc2,,, directorys
[03:56] <kt0xd_> Rug: i'm going to install xterm
[03:56] <Rug> kt0xd_: good idea
[03:56] <DanaG> Is it possible that X is not truly running at that resolution?
[03:56] <derrickh> what do the different CTRL+ALT+FKEY's do?
[03:57] <sethk> derrickh, 1-6 are virtual consoles
[03:57] <derrickh> both my screens go blank when i hit that combo
[03:57] <sethk> derrickh, 7 is the X display
[03:57] <DanaG> I know some manufacturers have EDID issues that require you to make your own modelines.
[03:57] <sethk> derrickh, you should see a login prompt
[03:57] <derrickh> ahh
[03:57] <derrickh> well
[03:57] <Rug> derrickh: they switch to different TTL consoles
[03:57] <derrickh> my screens are blank
[03:57] <sethk> derrickh, if you don't, might have a problem with console resolution
[03:57] <sethk> derrickh, probably trying to display a resolution the video card can't do.
[03:58] <derrickh> maybe because im running in dual-head?
[03:58] <sethk> derrickh, no, works fine on my dual head box
[03:58] <dwhsix> can I set default file protection mask for a user?  Or is this only done for a mount point?
[03:58] <sethk> derrickh, in console mode I get the login on both
[03:58] <Tutter> radar /etc/init.d ?
[03:58] <derrickh> oh
[03:58] <derrickh> ati or nvidia?
[03:59] <Meeppeep> How do you get the internet to dial up?
[04:00] <Meeppeep> How do you get the internet to dial up?
[04:00] <sethk> dwhsix, umask
[04:00] <radar1976> Tutter: which file?
[04:00] <sethk> dwhsix, for newly created files, umask specifies the permissions
[04:00] <sethk> Meeppeep, I speak to it in a seductive voice
[04:00] <dwhsix> sethk: that's what I thought... but didn't show up in man... I'll look some more
[04:00] <dwhsix> thx
[04:01] <sethk> dwhsix, I think it's in the shell docs
[04:01] <derrickh> sethk:  you said you were running dual-head mode,  is there a way to allow crossing of apps across monitors?
[04:01] <Tutter> radar iptables ?
[04:01] <Gumby> derrickh: its called Xinerama
[04:01] <Tutter> I haven't used iptables in ages , so you'll have to bear with me :)
[04:02] <jbroome> !dialup > Meeppeep
[04:02] <Meeppeep> yeah
[04:02] <tjb891> does anyone know were lame is to enable mp3 encoding on audacity
[04:02] <derrickh> thanks Gumby
[04:03] <jbroome> !dialup
[04:03] <ubotu> You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DialupModemHowto
[04:03] <sethk> derrickh, I have mine configured as one big monitor.  are you doing that, or do you have two different X displays, 0.0 and 0.1?
[04:04] <Tutter> radar you know what rule ou want to remove ?
[04:04] <radar1976> Tutter: will this is the trick, I want to allow normal traffic.  I found the .def files
[04:05] <nomin> !lame
[04:05] <ubotu> I know nothing about lame - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[04:05] <imperfect-> Anyone know how I can turn on ACPI thermal monitoring
[04:05] <Redman276> anyone know if  the  current  LTS can be  run on a  G3 PPC ?
[04:05] <steve_Laptop> Help with samba please
[04:06] <Tutter> radar phhbt... u are trying to strech my grey matter
[04:06] <DanaG> ACPI is always running; you just have to find an applet to use it.
[04:06] <imperfect-> Well, the problem I am is having is the applet telling me it has no sensors
[04:07] <jmghost> Short of pulling the plug, is there any way to recover from an application that has gone into an infinite memory leak loop?
[04:07] <alienseer23> can anyone tell me, if I am using 2 xscreens, how do I get my tv to work? aqnd can 2 monitors and a tv all work at the same time with an nvidia card (6200)?
[04:07] <steve_Laptop> I see my shared network folder in windows but I cant connect to it... grrrr Help were do I start looking for the problem
[04:07] <aujordanh> what is the command to watch a what a graphical file does in the terminal
[04:07] <Rug> kt0xd_: status?
[04:07] <kt0xd_> Rug: men thank youuuu very much
[04:07] <wasauce> what script is called when a shutdown is issued?
[04:07] <ManiacKY> steve_laptop are you trying to mount it with Samba?
[04:07] <sethk> wasabi, shutdown
[04:08] <jmghost> This time it's Amarok that has wreaked havoc on my system. I haven't been able to type a single char for 5 minutes (obviously, I'm typing this from another machine)
[04:08] <alienseer23> also, can I use 2 separate xscreens and twinview one of them to the tv?
[04:08] <kt0xd_> Rug: i installed xterm and every fine
[04:08] <PrimoTurbo> where is the terminal located in dapper?
[04:08] <steve_Laptop> ManiacKY, yes
[04:08] <alienseer23> any help will be Greatly appreciated
[04:08] <ManiacKY> steve_laptop with the smbmount command or in a gui?
[04:08] <wasauce> sethk: thanks ill check it out
[04:08] <imperfect-> I just installed lm-sensors
[04:08] <imperfect-> maybe that'll do it
[04:08] <Rug> jmghost: yes, open a new tty  (ctrl+alt+F2)  type: top  and get the PID of the app
[04:08] <Rug> kt0xd_: good to hear.
[04:09] <jmghost> Rug, I've already got a terminal open, but I can't type because it's swapping too much.
[04:09] <PrimoTurbo> Does anyone know aprox. how many computers have ubuntu installed?
[04:09] <steve_Laptop> ManiacKY, I new to this and used this to set it up http://www.howtoforge.com/samba_setup_ubuntu_5.10
[04:09] <Rug> either wait, or pull the plug
[04:09] <jack> my laptop can reboot but halt. HELP!
[04:09] <jmghost> Is there some SysRq sequence to trigger the OOM killer or something?
[04:09] <aujordanh> gnome-cups-add is hanging on connect(15, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(16001), sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, 16
[04:10] <Rug> jmghost: I'd use a different TTY as that will give higher preference then a term window
[04:10] <LordOfTheNoobs> PrimoTurbo: I don't, but I suspect they track it to some degree utilizing the ntp.ubuntu.org time server the systems sync with when they boot.
[04:10] <jack> it stops at "Will now halt"
[04:10] <jmghost> Rug, what do you mean?
[04:10] <steve_Laptop> ManiacKY, after I was done I went to My computer and used map drive, it shows but I cant connect to it
[04:10] <aujordanh> most all of my graphical programs run with sudo are locking up
[04:10] <PrimoTurbo> LordOfTheNoobs: I see
[04:11] <ManiacKY> So you are trying to connect to your Linux box from Windows or the other way
[04:11] <jmghost> Oops.
[04:11] <Rug> a different TTY then the one you are using (F7) will have a higher "access to CPU" level then a term window
[04:11] <jmghost> Rug, did you just write something?
[04:11] <ManiacKY> Where is the shared folder?
[04:11] <jack> If i boot into recovery mode and halt, it shows "acpi_power_off called", then stoped
[04:11] <Rug> jmghost: a different TTY then the one you are using (F7) will have a higher "access to CPU" level then a term window
[04:11] <steve_Laptop> ManiacKY, yes connect my XP box to my ubuntu file server with samba
[04:12] <jmghost> trying that... nothing so far :-(
[04:12] <Rug> jmghost: then pull the plug
[04:12] <sethk> jack, that's normal
[04:12] <jmghost> I hate it that any application is able to effectively crash my machine.
[04:12] <sethk> jack, the last thing it did was issue the power off.   press and hold the on/off button for 5 seconds.  it will shut off
[04:13] <LordOfTheNoobs> steve_Laptop: Did you configure a user for samba on the linux box yet?
[04:13] <jmghost> It's like the good old DOS days...
[04:13] <Rug> jmghost: it's VERY rare.  It has happened to me twice in the last 3 years
[04:13] <ManiacKY> steve_Laptop Is it even asking you for a user/name password?
[04:13] <jmghost> Rug, It happened to my twice this week
[04:13] <sethk> jmghost, by the way, control-alt-delete should work
[04:13] <jmghost> Rug, Evolution composer is the usual suspect, but it's Amarok this time
[04:13] <Rug> jmghost: what apps are running?
[04:13] <steve_Laptop> ManiacKY, no its not
[04:13] <Rug> aahh
[04:13] <ManiacKY> steve_laptop msg me your samba.conf file
[04:14] <steve_Laptop> ManiacKY, ok
[04:14] <jmghost> sethk, control-alt-delete only works from a virtual console, right?
[04:14] <Rug> jmghost: I love Amarok
[04:15] <jmghost> Rug, so do I, but not to the point of letting it crash my system
[04:16] <ManiacKY> steve_Laptop Bitchx stoped the msg, though you was flooding me. Email me at surbahns+samba@gmail.com
[04:16] <Rug> jmghost: I'm thinking that you might have some bad files/librarys in there causing your problems.  Amarok has been very stable for me since the .8 release
[04:16] <hawkaloogie> or use a pastebin
[04:17] <steve_Laptop> ok
[04:17] <jmworx> Rug: In any case, that's not the point. The idea is that an application that goes bad doesn't crash the system.
[04:18] <ManiacKY> steve_laptop your going to need to send it soon, I'm about to head for work
[04:18] <synic> jmghost: do you use gnome?
[04:18] <jmworx> Rug: I'm using the Amarok 1.4 FYI (instead of 1.3 that came with Dapper)
[04:18] <Rug> jmworx: ok good
[04:18] <jmworx> Rug: BTW, my machine has finally recovered now -- took more than 10 minutes.
[04:18] <steve_Laptop> ok give me 2
[04:18] <p3980> anyone know of a good ftp server for ubuntu?
[04:18] <Tsukino> does anyone know how to edit the temperatures when fans kick on in acpi?
[04:19] <Rug> p3980: proftp
[04:19] <p3980> Rug: thanks
[04:19] <LordOfTheNoobs> Tsukino: Have you tried sudo echo "NEW_TEMP" > /proc/system/acpi/whatever-config-file ?
[04:20] <radar1976> Tutter: sorry I got busy with the spouse
[04:20] <p3980> anyone know of a good ftp server for ubuntu? i think someone answered me, but my ftp client crashed
[04:20] <ManiacKY> steve_Laptop Did you install a firewall?
[04:20] <radar1976> what should I change to allow all access
[04:20] <Rug> p3980: proftp
[04:20] <p3980> thanks, got it this time
[04:20] <ManiacKY> p3980 I like proftpd
[04:21] <Rug> ManiacKY: same thing
[04:21] <kat2> Hardware issue?  While booting from Ubuntu live cd (to install) "Buffer I/O error device hda logical block 3 (and 4,5, and 7)" ... Anyone know what this means?  HD dead?
[04:21] <ManiacKY> Rug Yup, I didn't see you say it until after I hit enter
[04:21] <steve_Laptop> ManiacKY, I run IPcop thats not the problem
[04:21] <Frankenstein> im trying to use serpentine belt for my music burner and its telling me it need gstreamer plugins... im pretty sure i got them all but i might be missing some, which ones do i need exactly to burn mp3's
[04:21] <sethk> kat2, does sound like a hardware error, yes
[04:21] <highphilosopher> boo
[04:21] <sethk> kat2, try reburning the cd, if possible
[04:22] <synic> jmghost: if so... it's worth a try.  http://exaile.org/screenshots/exaile.jpg  http://exaile.org/files/exaile_svn20060707.deb
[04:22] <sethk> kat2, wait
[04:22] <ManiacKY> Is there anyway to format a DVDRW from the commandline?
[04:22] <highphilosopher> is anyone else here running amd64?
[04:22] <kat2> sethk Do you know specificly or are you giving your best guess.  I'd hate to though out a HD that could still be used...
[04:22] <sethk> kat2, sorry, I was thinking it referenced the cdrom device, but it is hda
[04:22] <synic> highphilosopher: used to...
[04:22] <Rug> ManiacKY: you can do EVERYTHING from the command line!
[04:22] <steve_Laptop> I want to lock down some files form my co-workers to so will have to learn that tomorrow
[04:22] <sethk> kat2, you can run badblocks on the hard drive
[04:22] <kat2> sethk <nodnods>\
[04:22] <highphilosopher> synic: did you notice the amd64 kernel running slower than the i386?
[04:22] <Tsukino> I only have a /proc/acpi directory
[04:22] <ManiacKY> steve_Laptop no email yet
[04:23] <Rug> dvd+rw-format
[04:23] <steve_Laptop> I sent it
[04:23] <ManiacKY> Rug, I'd like to think so. :)
[04:23] <synic> highphilosopher: no, but I didn't notice it running any faster either.
[04:23] <sethk> kat2, boot the cd, run badblocks.  the default mode of badblocks is read only.  It will tell you for sure if you can read the drive.
[04:23] <synic> highphilosopher: I don't think that's the point.  They are going to be faster because they are newer
[04:23] <steve_Laptop> it came back
[04:23] <highphilosopher> synic: It seems to be slower on everything I try, most notably mysql
[04:23] <sethk> kat2, it's possible that there is a dma compatibility issue.  try using ide=nodma on the kernel command line
[04:23] <synic> highphilosopher: but 64bit != faster.
[04:23] <wasauce> sethk:im confused im not looking for the command that can shutdown the computer from the CLI im looking for the script that is run when someone runs the command shutdown or when throught the gui one selects shutdown... any ideas?
[04:23] <kat2> sethk Could you give me a specific command?  "sudo badblocks"?
[04:23] <ManiacKY> Rug Thats no command or program app on my install
[04:23] <highphilosopher> synic: don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, it beats anythin else out there
[04:23] <Rug> ManiacKY: you should install it then
[04:24] <Rug> ManiacKY: along with dvdauthor
[04:24] <synic> highphilosopher: yeah :)  I actually ran ubuntu for amd64 for about a year, and then switched to the 32bit just to avoid all the problems... but I haven't noticed a speed difference.
[04:24] <ManiacKY> is it really call dvd+rw-format?
[04:24] <steve_Laptop> ManiacKY, whats that e=-mail again
[04:24] <Rug> yupp, that is a cut & paste
[04:25] <LordOfTheNoobs> Tsukino: I didn't lookup the actual directory. The /proc directory tree is a file system interface to the internals of the linux kernal.  Look around in your /proc/acpi folder system for the temperature or temperature-warning file.  I don't know exactly what you should look for.  Try under the fan directory.  My system lacks an OS controlled fan, so you'll have to find another to help you further.
[04:25] <bruenig> lets say in theory want to mount /dev/sda2 at /whatever, what is the command
[04:25] <highphilosopher> synic: my query times on mysql are down to about 3/4 what they were before. Of course with mysql you take every millisecond you can get.
[04:25] <synic> highphilosopher: hrmm, I'd say that's weird for sure
[04:25] <marshall__> whats happening guys?
[04:25] <ManiacKY> steve_Laptop Sorry, No email. I have to run to work. Good luck!
[04:25] <wasauce>  im looking for the script that is run when someone runs the command shutdown or when throught the gui one selects shutdown... any ideas where i might find it? i did a locate for shutdown but didnt find anything too interesting
[04:25] <highphilosopher> synic: that's what I thought. Same hardware all the way around
[04:25] <drdss> does anybody have the game bzflag for deb or ubuntu?  i need so many libs
[04:26] <Rug> bruenig: mount /dev/sda2 /path/you/want/it/to/go
[04:26] <bruenig> !info bzflag
[04:26] <ubotu> bzflag: a 3D first person tank battle game. In repository universe, is optional. Version 2.0.4.20051017ubuntu3 (dapper), package size 10166 kB, installed size 13412 kB
[04:26] <bruenig> Rug, there is no filesystem specs i have to put
[04:26] <synic> drdss: apt-get install bzflag
[04:26] <kat2> sethk So if there are, indeed, bad blocks, the HD is expensive scrap? ;)
[04:26] <marshall__> whats the best p2p app for ubuntu?
[04:26] <bruenig> drdss, all you need to do is enable the extra repos and then do what synic said and there you go
[04:27] <Rug> bruenig: are you sure that the drive is formatted?
[04:27] <synic> drdss: sweet game :)
[04:27] <bruenig> Rug, yes, it is formatted as ext3
[04:27] <ubuntu> holap
[04:27] <sethk> kat2, depends.  install the S.M.A.R.T. plug in to webadmin and get a dump of the error stats from the drive
[04:27] <drdss> synic, bruenig, I already have the package but i am missing libs how do I install?
[04:27] <sethk> kat2, however, ide has spare tracks and automatically handles a certain number of bad sectors, so once you see errors, odds are it's dying
[04:27] <bruenig> drdss, if you do the sudo apt-get install bzflag, it will install all of the libs for you
[04:27] <synic> drdss: no, just type apt-get install bzflag - it will get everything for you.
[04:28] <chris_s12876> hi all, I was wondering if anyone had dealt with any issues of ubuntu cd's not booting on machines that will boot other cd's and these same ubuntu cd's will boot on other machines.
[04:28] <sethk> kat2, badblocks is capable of marking sectors as bad so they will not be used
[04:28] <ubuntu> hello
[04:28] <sethk> kat2, of course, doing this deletes all data on the drive, so be backed up
[04:28] <highphilosopher> hello ubuntu
[04:28] <drdss> bruenig, synic, "bzflag is already the newest version.  0 upgraded 8 not upgraded"
[04:28] <synic> drdss: uh... so what happens when you type "bzflag" ?
[04:28] <ubuntu> whats you are
[04:28] <bruenig> drdss, do sudo apt-get remove bzflag and then do sudo apt-get install bzflag
[04:28] <Rug> bruenig: can you do an fdisk /dev/sda2 and (p)rint the volume info?

[04:29] <kat2> sethk the drive is a spare.  It has nothing on it currently.  I'm running the show from the live cd (which contains the install as well) and RAM..
[04:29] <Tsukino> how can I tell which files are configuration files and which aren't? some haven't let me edit them in sudo and I assumed they were read only
[04:29] <Wiseguy> hey guys for some reason when i try and run a ./configure i get an error about not having a C compiler installed...
[04:29] <sethk> chris_s12876, I have seen that on a couple of machines that had a compatibility problem between the ide chipset and the boot cd.  It's very unusual, however.
[04:29] <ubuntu> I AM YOU FROM +CHILE
[04:29] <synic> Wiseguy: I can answer you, but first I'll ask what you're trying to compile?
[04:29] <drdss> bruenig, synic, it fails for "libgnutls.so.13" bc its the wrong version or something... i tried a symbolic link to v.10
[04:29] <Rug> Wiseguy: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[04:29] <Wiseguy> synic, fluxbox rc2
[04:29] <sethk> kat2, if there is no useful data on it, then bang away with badblocks.  Use it in read/write mode for the best test.  badblocks run VERY slowly, however, you'll be looking at hours in rw mode.
[04:30] <synic> Wiseguy: sudo apt-get install fluxbox
[04:30] <chris_s12876> yeah it just goes to grub that is on hda
[04:30] <Wiseguy> synic, because i dont want an old version
[04:30] <sethk> kat2, so I'd do the smart dump first, see if it's worth the effort.  On the other hand, it's just machine effort so you could let it run all night and see what happended in the morning.
[04:30] <Rug> synic: nah, the repos are too slow for Flux
[04:30] <bruenig> drdss, do sudo apt-cache search libgnutls, and have your pick
[04:30] <synic> Wiseguy: ok, apt-get install build-essential
[04:30] <synic> Wiseguy: that will get you most everything you need to compile it.
[04:30] <bruenig> drdss, I think i would go with libgnutls12 myself
[04:31] <Rug> Hey, that sounds familiar!
[04:31] <drdss> bruenig, synic I only see 7 10 11, there is no 13
[04:31] <Wiseguy> i wonder why it said that gcc wasnt in my PATH though
[04:31] <Frankenstein> im trying to use serpentine belt for my music burner and its telling me it need gstreamer plugins... im pretty sure i got them all but i might be missing some, which ones do i need exactly to burn mp3's
[04:31] <synic> Wiseguy: probably because it wasn't?
[04:31] <sethk> Wiseguy, config.log will show you the exact error it failed on.  sometimes the top level message is misleading.
[04:31] <kat2> sethk, Can I get a specific command for running bad-blocks with the 'action' options, please?
[04:32] <sethk> Wiseguy, synic has a point  :)
[04:32] <sethk> kat2, hang on a moment...
[04:32] <Wiseguy> gcc isnt in my PATH by default?
[04:32] <synic> Wiseguy: gcc isn't installed by default
[04:32] <Rug> bruenig: did you try fdisk?
[04:32] <Madpilot> Wiseguy, have you installed build-essential?
[04:32] <chris_s12876> I originally installed warty upgraded to hoary with synaptic. hoary cd will boot but breezy and dapper will not.
[04:32] <Wiseguy> Madpilot, its going right now
[04:32] <bruenig> drdss, I doubt there is a thirteen, I just did a google search and the highest I found was 12, try installing those, if it doesn't work then do sudo apt-get remove whatever and try a different one
[04:32] <LordOfTheNoobs> Tsukino: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-proc.html?ca=dgr-lnxw06ProcFile . There's IBMs discussion of the matter.  As for how to tell, I'm not sure, if you can't cat a new value into it, it must not allow it.  You could try programmatically opening the files for writing and see if they generate an error, but you may not know how to do that.
[04:32] <Wiseguy> but i looked through synaptic and gcc was checked off

[04:33] <ubotu> CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, serpentine, graveman Nautilus cd burner (Gnome), gtoaster, xcdroast, cdrecord (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BurningIsoHowto
[04:33] <drdss> bruenig, it is specifically looking for .13 so I tried making a symlink to .11 but it fails on lib
[04:33] <synic> drdss: do you have non-ubuntu repos in your sources.list?
[04:33] <drdss> synic, give me all your repos.
[04:33] <chris_s12876> anyone familiar with how the initrd mounts the loopback fs on dapper so that I can copy files to the hard drive or something or does it only look at cd's
[04:33] <synic> 'cause just plain apt-get install bzflag works for me.
[04:33] <sethk> kat2, badblocks -wsv /dev/hda    you can also add -p #, e.g., -p 3 for three passes.  without -p it does one pass.
[04:33] <Frankenstein> !burning help

[04:34] <synic> drdss: http://synic.ath.cx/sources.list
[04:34] <Frankenstein> ...
[04:34] <Madpilot> Frankenstein, please don't spam the bot
[04:34] <sethk> kat2, sorry, forgot one
[04:34] <Frankenstein> Madpilot, im not! im trying to find a solution
[04:34] <drdss> synic, how do i echo a url >> /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:34] <sethk> kat2, use -o filename.  That causes a list of bad blocks to be written to filename
[04:34] <hawkaloogie> Frankenstein, you can private message the bot
[04:34] <marshall__> hey guys
[04:34] <Madpilot> Frankenstein, well, ask an actual question, then. Don't just randomly hit the bot
[04:34] <Frankenstein> Madpilot, already have, figured no one could help
[04:34] <synic> drdss: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list - or you can sudo bash
[04:34] <marshall__> does anybody know how to add a fill or colour to a vector path in gimp?
[04:35] <Wiseguy> is there a special package for the X system libraries and headers?
[04:35] <aro-ron> hey, I got a quick question, I am looking for some new themes for ubuntu, but at gnome-look.org they have options for GTK 1, GTK 2, and metacity, whats the best for ubuntu thems?
[04:35] <Madpilot> Frankenstein, what are you trying to do? Burn mp3s onto audio CDs?
[04:35] <LordOfTheNoobs> synic: It's easier to `sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list' than trying to echo in lines.
[04:35] <Madpilot> aro-ron, you need both GTK2 & Metacity - there's two halves to Gnome themse
[04:36] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell aro-ron about themes
[04:36] <kat2> sethk, Readout is /dev/hda is 'in use by the system. not safe to run bad blocks'. Can't figure out why given that a live os cd is being used.
[04:36] <synic> LordOfTheNoobs: that was probably directed at the wrong person :)
[04:36] <Frankenstein> Madpilot: yes, using the serpentine burner software... once i try to add the mp3 files it tells me i need the gstreamer plugins which i found with apt-cache and installed, but im not sure exactly which gstreamer packages i need, as i said before
[04:36] <sethk> kat2, probably the live cd automatically mounts any partitions it finds.  you can either umount it, as in umount /dev/hda1, or use -f on badblocks, which tells badblocks to ignore the mount status
[04:36] <aro-ron> Madpilot, ok thanks, I will start reading up
[04:36] <verbose_> kat2: use mount to see if anything on hda is mounted
[04:36] <Madpilot> Frankenstein, check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[04:36] <LordOfTheNoobs> synic: Perhaps.  :)
[04:37] <sethk> kat2, I'm assuming it is hda1.  mount (with no arguments) will show the mounted partitions.  umount any with hda in them.
[04:37] <tjb891> is using amarok in gnome bad?
[04:37] <Frankenstein> Madpilot, i can already play mp3's...
[04:37] <verbose_> tjb891: i use it in gnome
[04:37] <verbose_> it works fine
[04:37] <userundefine> tjb891, no
[04:37] <verbose_> you just have to install the kdelibs
[04:37] <Madpilot> Frankenstein, then you should be able to use them in Serp
[04:37] <verbose_> i believe it's in the amarok faq
[04:37] <tjb891> ok, it says I need kfmclient to get album information
[04:37] <Frankenstein> Madpilot, but i cant, hence my question
[04:37] <tjb891> ok
[04:38] <rippon> Hey, I have a question
[04:38] <kat2> sethk, None are listed with 'hda'.
[04:38] <Madpilot> Frankenstein, actually, the problem is probably that Serpentine is using the older gstreamer version
[04:38] <rippon> What is that command where you reconfigure X
[04:38] <verobse> rippon: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:38] <Madpilot> Frankenstein, search for gstreamer again, install the 0.8 versions as well as the 0.10 versions - the two can co-exist
[04:38] <rippon> ok thanks
[04:38] <Frankenstein> Madpilot, ok, ill try that  thanks
[04:38] <kat2> sethk, Forcing run of bad blocks.
[04:39] <LordOfTheNoobs> rippon: sudo dpkg reconfgiure x-package-name ?  Someone please correct if wrong.
[04:39] <tjb891> i know in the past it was stupid but can ubuntu run KDE, "I don't like Kubuntu"
[04:39] <sethk> kat2, odd that it didn't go without -f, but we can live with the mystery, I guess.
[04:39] <Madpilot> tjb891, you can run KDE apps in Gnome, yes
[04:40] <tjb891> ok
[04:40] <sethk> tjb891, I install from the standard ubuntu disk and then install KDE.  It works fine.
[04:40] <kat2> sethk, Thank you for the assistance. Talk to you next millenia when it finishes. :)
[04:40] <Madpilot> tj9991, you can also install KDE over gnome, basically converting Ubuntu into Kubuntu
[04:40] <drdss> synic, it still cannot find libgnutls.so.13
[04:40] <sethk> kat2, np  :)
[04:40] <synic> drdss: apt-get remove --purge bzflag && apt-get install bzflag
[04:40] <drdss> synic, bzflag is fiiiine it needs libbbbs
[04:41] <synic> drdss: just try it.
[04:41] <tjb891> ok
[04:41] <sethk> drdss, you should have that stutter looked at.
[04:41] <synic> drdss: you shouldn't be getting stuff out of the repos that are missing libs
[04:41] <drdss> synic, I did that and it is still looking for libgnutls.so.13 which does not exist
[04:42] <powder> drdss, perhaps you need to install package libgnutls13
[04:42] <steve_Laptop> Can someone look at my samba and tell me what im doing rong?  http://office.homefrontus.com/Bob/samba.htm
[04:42] <sethk> drdss, install libgnutls7-dev
[04:42] <synic> drdss: you did that after you edited sources.list, ran apt-get update ?
[04:42] <Wiseguy> hey guys, im gettings this error when im trying to compile flux, are those files supposed to be included already? or do i need to d/l another package?
[04:42] <Wiseguy> http://pastebin.ca/121547
[04:43] <drdss> powder, sethk, synic, there is no libgnutls.so.13, and i have 11
[04:43] <chris_s12876> sethk, so is just moving on to the next disk in the boot order typical if the ide chipset problem that you mentioned. or would I expect to see some boot messages from the kernel on the cd?
[04:43] <synic> drdss: gonna do what I said?
[04:43] <synic> Wiseguy: apt-get install libx11-dev
[04:43] <Lurkan> anybody now one page that explain instal one tft exter in ubuntu
[04:43] <aujordanh> i am installing a printer, it detects my hp f380 but recommends i install the 100c driver, is this normal?
[04:43] <drdss> synic, ok now what
[04:43] <aujordanh> sorry 1000c driver
[04:43] <jn> sup
[04:43] <Wiseguy> cool, thanks synic
[04:44] <synic> drdss: what did you type?  apt-get update && apt-get --purge remove bzflag && apt-get install bzflag
[04:44] <synic> drdss: if that doesn't work, pastebin your sources.list
[04:44] <powder> drdss, http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/edgy/libs/libgnutls13  it is available in edgy repos apparently
[04:44] <drdss> synic, I copied your sources.list from your website remember
[04:44] <Wiseguy> hmmm, actually im still getting the same error
[04:44] <tjb891> can anyone tell me what knotify is?
[04:44] <aujordanh> !info knotify
[04:44] <ubotu> Package knotify does not exist in dapper
[04:44] <jn> to install jetico's bestcrypt.. i need to "get kernel sources. and make sure all versions of the kernel's binaries and sources are equal"
[04:45] <jn> can someone lemme know where the kernel sources are?
[04:45] <aujordanh> !source
[04:45] <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
[04:45] <synic> drdss: you overwrote yours with mine?
[04:45] <jn> !easysource
[04:45] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[04:45] <drdss> synic, yeah i backed it up first
[04:45] <synic> drdss: type this: dpkg -l | grep bzflag
[04:45] <synic> drdss: and paste the results
[04:46] <Frankenstein> ok, i installed all the gstreamer plugins, packages, etc and i still cant burn mp3s using serpentine
[04:46] <jn> ok but if i wanted to make mprpoper from the root of kerenl source.. where would i go
[04:46] <Wiseguy> synic, any other ideas?
[04:46] <drdss> synic, dpkg -l | grep bzflag: ii  bzflag         1.10.6.2004051 a 3D first person tank battle game
[04:46] <drdss> synic, that is an old version
[04:46] <alienseer23> can anyone tell me, is there a way, using nvidia glx, to have seperate xscreens, and twinview off of one of them, say..to a tv? please?
[04:46] <synic> drdss: then your sources.list is not the same as mine, or you didn't type what I said
[04:46] <LordOfTheNoobs> jn: They're in package linux-source
[04:47] <owen_> the quake 2 installer and data files available in the repositories, does it have a config file to tell it the directory where your quake 2 dat files are stored?
[04:47] <drdss> synic, ja i did
[04:47] <saltydog> is there any way i can get fluxbox to recognize my usb hd and access it?
[04:47] <brian10161> hey everyone
[04:47] <jn> LordOfTheNoobs: ty
[04:48] <synic> drdss: type bzflag --version
[04:48] <Frankenstein> ok, i installed all the gstreamer plugins, packages, etc and i still cant burn mp3s using serpentine or gnomebaker as they both tell me im missing plugins, what should i do?!
[04:48] <synic> or ldd `which bzflag`
[04:48] <Wiseguy> whats the best way to close gnome down and startup fluxbox?
[04:48] <saltydog> thru the gdm
[04:49] <saltydog> i think
[04:49] <drdss> synic, ok I think it found more packages this time
[04:49] <powder> Frankenstein, what is the exact message you receive?
[04:49] <brian10161> it sounds like someone is having the same problem as i am, except i can't play mp3's
[04:49] <LordOfTheNoobs> jn: No Problem.  apt-cache search | grep linux | grep source got the answer fairly quick.
[04:49] <Wiseguy> that will actually close out all of the gnome garbage in the background?
[04:49] <sethk> saltydog, that's not a window manager issue.  udev configuration controls whether an app is launched when the hardware is detected.
[04:50] <saltydog> oh ok thnx sethk
[04:50] <AngryElf> let
[04:50] <saltydog> is there a config file to edit for that?
[04:50] <AngryElf> let's say I SSH into a box, how do i mplayer a sound on the box's speakers?
[04:50] <steve_Laptop> Ware do I find or edit the hostname..
[04:51] <Tutter> Angry erm.. you can't start mplayer on one box and listen to it on another , afaik
[04:51] <Linuturk> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=231857 << a summary of my problem
[04:52] <AngryElf> Tutter, nah, i want to play the sound on the remote box
[04:52] <powder> steve_Laptop, System -> Administration -> Networking -> General tab
[04:52] <AngryElf> ssh into the remote box, play the sound from the remote box's speakers
[04:52] <chris_s12876> tutter I think it is possible to pipe the sound over the net with the enlightment sound daemon somehow
[04:53] <Tutter> chris mm..wouldn't be smooth though I dont think
[04:53] <steve_Laptop> powder, no gui its on the server
[04:53] <skarface> or mpg123 and an ssh connection
[04:53] <chris_s12876> I did it once (local lan) not Internet
[04:54] <AngryElf> this is all local, and i'm not piping anything -- the files are on the remote machien
[04:54] <powder> steve_Laptop, edit /etc/hosts
[04:54] <chris_s12876> google for network sound and some things may come up
[04:54] <AngryElf> if i ssh in and do "mplayer file.mp3" it doesn't do anything
[04:54] <powder> steve_Laptop, make backup first, of course ;)
[04:54] <jessid> hello, some of you know what are templates? when you right click on desktop it says something about templates
[04:54] <Frankenstein> powder, the error is "The plugin to handle a file of type audio/mpeg is not installed
[04:54] <batman> anyone know why network manager would suddenly say there is only a wired network interface?
[04:54] <Wiseguy> wow, its like gnome knew i was planning on using a different wm.. cause now that im back in it it runs A LOT smoother
[04:54] <steve_Laptop> powder, ")
[04:55] <dubuntu> Wiseguy, gnome can get very jealous
[04:55] <alienseer23> can anyone tell me, is there a way, using nvidia glx, to have seperate xscreens, and twinview off of one of them, say..to a tv? please?
[04:55] <LordOfTheNoobs> jessid: If you create a Templates folder in your home directory (or already have one ) than any file you put in there will appear in the templates menu.  If you select it, the gui will create a copy of the file at the location in the file system where you are.
[04:55] <dubuntu> Wiseguy, esp. of xfce4
[04:55] <chris_s12876> AngryElf I thing you need to use a command line only sound player mplayer is probably looking for a display.
[04:55] <Tutter> angry sure? ps -a | grep mplayer
[04:55] <skarface> mpg123 is a command line mp3 player
[04:55] <Wiseguy> there was always a bit of a delay when i was in gnome trying to launch apps
[04:55] <skarface> apt-get that
[04:55] <sdferfx> Hi. I want to make videos of my XGL -- what software should I use for that?
[04:55] <lmosher> Is it possible to author vido DVDs in Ubuntu?
[04:56] <jn> so i installed linux-source, but where would i find "root of kernel source"
[04:56] <Johnlittle> http://www.ubuntuvideo.com/share-ubuntu/
[04:56] <jn> i thought it would be /src but i dont have that
[04:56] <dubuntu> jn, /usr/src
[04:56] <drdss> synic, umm I have a problem... Remove the running kernel image (not recommended) [No] ?
[04:56] <jn> dubuntu: ty
[04:56] <sdferfx> Thank you Johnlittle. :)
[04:57] <LordOfTheNoobs> jn: Not sure, I haven't had to install it.  But I bet if you check out its `files' tab in Synaptic that it will tell you where it installed the files to.
[04:57] <synic> drdss: did you have etch repos in there?
[04:57] <VikJES> Hi Everyone. Is it actually possible to use a Broadcom (BCM4318 rev2) with WPA on DD or do I have to revert to WEP?
[04:57] <drdss> synic, I copied your sources.list
[04:57] <synic> drdss: I mean before.
[04:57] <jessid> LordOfTheNoobs i will look...
[04:57] <steve_Laptop> powder, this is nuts! its listing as homefront but windows see Homefront with a Cap H
[04:57] <drdss> synic, no it was default
[04:57] <jn> jn@jn-laptop:/usr/src$ ls
[04:57] <jn> linux-source-2.6.15.tar.bz2
[04:57] <synic> drdss: alright, well that I don't believe.  Have fun.
[04:58] <jn> im gonna want to tar xf linux-source... correct?
[04:58] <synic> heh.
[04:58] <dubuntu> jn, you didn't install the source through apt, aptitude, synaptic etc?
[04:58] <LordOfTheNoobs> tar -xvvf is a good option set to expand a lot of files in a tarball.
[04:59] <chris_s12876> AngryElf or you could use -X option so that mplayer is displayed on your local machine but is running and sounding from the machine that you ssh to.
[04:59] <dubuntu> LordOfTheNoobs, well his 'tarball' is first a bzip2 file, so he needs to do a bunzip2
[04:59] <powder> steve_Laptop, try this... http://www.cpqlinux.com/hostname.html
[04:59] <Kyral_Laptop> or just tar -jxvf
[04:59] <dubuntu> Kyral_Laptop, don't ever give me the j switch
[04:59] <Kyral_Laptop> why?
[05:00] <Kyral_Laptop> it works
[05:00] <AAA> anto9us  ssh and use screen + mplayer
[05:00] <jn> damn.. make config asks a ton of questions i have no idea how to answer
[05:00] <AngryElf> arg -- whoever responded to me, could you please repeat?
[05:00] <sid_> hi
[05:00] <LordOfTheNoobs> dubuntu: responding just to his lower guess of -xf.  Which works, but I prefer the information given with the additional vv rider.  Good call on the bunzip.
[05:00] <sid_> can any1 help me with Wine
[05:00] <powder> Frankenstein, which gstreamer plugins did you install?
[05:00] <skarface> sid_: open bottle, drink
[05:00] <AAA> AngryElf  you want to control the video/sound on a box remotely? ssh ito the box, run screen then mplayer (I do it all the time)
[05:00] <sid_> :)
[05:01] <dubuntu> LordOfTheNoobs, only said to dodge the question of how to uncompress later :)
[05:01] <Frankenstein> powder, i just found an extra pair i didnt see, and it hasnt given me errors yet, but i havent tried to burn yet... ill get back to you
[05:01] <synic> jn: make xconfig... but why oh why are you compiling the kernel?
[05:01] <powder> Frankenstein, ok good luck!
[05:01] <sid_> I want to install a program (bioedit.exe), I don't have windows installed.
[05:01] <jn> to install something that gives me error
[05:01] <jn> s
[05:01] <dubuntu> synic, why does everyone in here discourage ppl when they want to recompile the kernel?
[05:01] <synic> jn: vmware or some crap?
[05:01] <sid_> I am using kubuntu 6.06
[05:01] <Kyral_Laptop> I never do
[05:01] <Kyral_Laptop> hell
[05:01] <dubuntu> it's one of the joys/advantages/fun things of linux
[05:01] <synic> dubuntu: there's not really a point unless you have special needs.
[05:02] <Kyral_Laptop> I encourange it
[05:02] <jn> what's wrong with compiling the kernel?
[05:02] <Kyral_Laptop> its a rite of passage
[05:02] <dubuntu> synic, i must have been having special needs for the last 12 years
[05:02] <sid_> Ubuntu kernel is already very good
[05:02] <dubuntu> lol
[05:02] <steve_Laptop> powder, thanks all is good there
[05:02] <synic> jn: ok, a) now you won't get automatic security upgrades on it, and ... well, there's no point.
[05:02] <jn> if there was a deb package for bestcrypt my life would be a hell of a lot easier
[05:02] <dubuntu> any kernel, esp. a default kernel, can be tweaked
[05:02] <dubuntu> and should be
[05:02] <synic> why compile it if you don't want be?
[05:03] <synic> dubuntu: define "tweaked" ?
[05:03] <jn> i cant access a drive unless i get the bestcrypt going so i can enter the key to decrypt
[05:03] <jn> lol
[05:03] <jn> i wish it wasnt encrypted now but it is
[05:03] <powder> steve_Laptop, np :)
[05:03] <dubuntu> synic, jeez, maybe check out compiling/rebuilding your kernel
[05:03] <powder> if you want to recompile your kernel then why the hell are you using ubuntu?
[05:03] <steve_Laptop> Can someone look at my samba and tell me what im doing rong?  http://office.homefrontus.com/Bob/samba.htm
[05:03] <Kyral_Laptop> ....
[05:03] <dubuntu> synic, like, compiling in only the modules you want into the kernel
[05:03] <LordOfTheNoobs> dubuntu:  You're secretly here spreading gentoo aren't you?  ;P
[05:04] <dubuntu> synic, like only supporting the devices you want to to save resources
[05:04] <powder> God save us from the gentoobies
[05:04] <Kyral_Laptop> ....
[05:04] <synic> dubuntu: you're just spouting what others have told you.
[05:04] <Kyral_Laptop> powder: Shut yer trap
[05:04] <dubuntu> LordOfTheNoobs, lol no, i'm a freebsd user who is using ubuntu on the desktop now
[05:04] <dubuntu> gentoo is a joke
[05:04] <dubuntu> synic, um no i'm not
[05:04] <prum> 111111111
[05:04] <Kyral_Laptop> watch out...I'm close to BOFH mode
[05:05] <dubuntu> synic, but i'm glad to help you out

[05:05] <bimberi> prum: please stop
[05:05] <Kyral_Laptop> .....
[05:05] <Madpilot> prum, quit that
[05:05] <synic> dubuntu: well, coming from a person who doesn't like "-j", I'll go ahead and ignore your opinion.
[05:05] <dubuntu> synic, what advice do you need? we can get your kernel down to what you need
[05:05] <steve_Laptop> brb
[05:05] <synic> dubuntu: I know what I need.  It's not like I haven't compiled my own kernel.
[05:05] <dubuntu> synic, lol i don't like 'j' because it is a new switch, that isn't present on most *nix systems
[05:06] <synic> dubuntu: well, I don't like cars because they are new.  I'll stick to my trusty horse.
[05:06] <LordOfTheNoobs> I haven't used it.  The one guy I knew that did was a hell of a tech and said it was the best thing out there for him.  Personally, I don't want to wait to compile an emerge and prefer the binary simplicities of apt-get'ing anything I need.  It's quite handy.
[05:06] <sid_> can I install a windows program in Kubuntu
[05:06] <powder> synic, lol
[05:06] <dubuntu> synic, then why would you tell anyone else not to? it is one of the easiest linux admin tasks
[05:06] <prum> bimberi :please stop
[05:06] <hawkaloogie> sid_, not unless you use wine
[05:06] <owen_> what does it mean when theres a . infront of a directory name e.g /home/usr/.media ?
[05:06] <Wiseguy> hey guys is there an app for ubuntu that will change the gdm theme for me? or whats the best way to go about it?
[05:06] <Kyral_Laptop> owen_: hidden
[05:06] <AAA> owen_  hidden
[05:06] <dubuntu> synic, how long have you used linux, or *nix?
[05:06] <Jack_Sparrow> sid_: No reason to do it
[05:06] <jn> does anyone know anythign about "MIRCL"
[05:06] <synic> dubuntu: and one of the more pointless.  Default kernels have most drivers built as modules.  Even filesystems, which are noted in initrd.  So... only what you need is loaded anyway.
[05:06] <owen_> and how do you reveal hidden folders in the file browser?
[05:07] <synic> dubuntu: 8 years.
[05:07] <jn> ctrl H
[05:07] <Madpilot> Wiseguy, System->Admin->Login Window
[05:07] <dubuntu> synic, 8 years using what? linux or across the unix board?
[05:07] <sid_> yes, I tried "wine bioedit.exe"
[05:07] <synic> dubuntu: Depends.  I've used solaris, freebsd, and openbsd as well
[05:07] <dubuntu> synic, well after 8 years you would think the first thing you would do is recompile the default kernel ...
[05:07] <AAA> haha
[05:07] <Madpilot> dubuntu, synic & others - please take the chat to #ubuntu-offtopic - thanks
[05:07] <dubuntu> synic, but yet you see no advantages in recompiling kernels .. interesting
[05:08] <lmosher> Does anyone here create video DVDs for playing in their DVD player? What's a good program to do this?
[05:08] <dubuntu> synic, since with solaris, fbsd and openbsd most of the time you *have* to recompile
[05:08] <synic> Madpilot: rather not.  It seems that we have come to a point where it's not going anywhere.
[05:08] <dubuntu> Madpilot, yeah ... just hate when ppl are telling others not to recompile etc
[05:08] <synic> Madpilot: so I'll just shut up.
[05:08] <dubuntu> synic, newbs should
[05:09] <powder> synic, you are fighting a losing battle ;)
[05:09] <AAA> n00bs should break their box at least daily
[05:09] <Jack_Sparrow> !offtopic
[05:09] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[05:10] <Lord-ChewY> i just put in a drive with doze on it
[05:11] <Lord-ChewY> i need to make grub see it
[05:11] <Jack_Sparrow> !grub
[05:11] <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
[05:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Lord-ChewY: XP prefers almost insiste on being partiton 1 on drive 0 (first)
[05:12] <owen_> how do you extract a .PAK file - e.g quakes PAK0.PAK file for use with linux
[05:12] <flj^> wondering why Ubuntu 6.06 wont see any USB devices or detect my onboard ethernet controller
[05:13] <Tauhshi> Hi, I have an AMD Turion 64 x2 processor, but I'm not sure If I should get the 64-Bit Version of Ubuntu. I know the system is 64bit, but most of the programs are going to be 32 bit, so, is it even worth it?
[05:13] <Jack_Sparrow> flj^: What chipset is the onboard controller
[05:13] <synic> Tauhshi: not really
[05:13] <sid_> wine bioedit.exe ...
[05:13] <powder> Tauhshi, 64bit on desktop makes absolutely no sense.
[05:13] <flj^> VIA
[05:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Tauhshi: 32bit is fine
[05:13] <flj^> uh
[05:13] <synic> Tauhshi: really depends on what you're doing.
[05:13] <flj^> VIA KM400
[05:14] <flj^> terrible chipset but it worked
[05:14] <synic> Tauhshi: it won't be any faster, but you'll be able to support more ram :)
[05:14] <sid_> wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\bioedit.exe": Module not found
[05:14] <Tauhshi> Well, Im just an average computer user. Web, paly music, download and wathc video, burn dvds and such
[05:14] <synic> Tauhshi: you want 32bit then
[05:14] <Tauhshi> Well, I only have a gig of RAM
[05:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Tauhshi: 32 is fine for you and most..
[05:14] <Tauhshi> Ok, thanks guys
[05:14] <synic> Tauhshi: I think you're good up to 4GB on 32bit
[05:14] <knapper> How can I get my Logitech mx310 to use 800dpi instead of 400dpi?
[05:15] <flj^> You could seems some performance from the x64 distro
[05:15] <aujordanh> i am installing a printer, it detects my hp f380 but recommends i install the 1000c driver, is this normal?
[05:15] <Wiseguy> whats was the verdict on the proper type of theme to use with gnome? GTK 1.x? GTK 2.x? metacity?
[05:15] <Tauhshi> Well, its a laptop, so, no upgrading for me
[05:15] <Jack_Sparrow> flj^: Minor at best plus it brings other issues
[05:15] <Madpilot> Wiseguy, GTK2 & Metacity - I gave you that doc URL, I think?
[05:15] <flj^> i still need help with my problem
[05:16] <Wiseguy> umm i dont think so... can i have it again?
[05:17] <Madpilot> Wiseguy, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuEyeCandy
[05:17] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell Wiseguy about themes
[05:17] <Jack_Sparrow> flj^: that is the model of the mb not the chipset for the lan .. although via is still part of it
[05:17] <Tauhshi> Are Drivers built into the Linux Kernel, or into the Distros themselves?
[05:18] <mainer> kernel or kernel-modules,it depends
[05:18] <powder> Jack_Sparrow, if his lan is onboard, then i believe the southbridge would be in control.
[05:18] <Tauhshi> If all the Buntu flavors support all of my hardware, should other distros too?
[05:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Tauhshi: NO
[05:19] <flj^> heh i just said that
[05:19] <jn> hey if i compile source kernel to the exact specs of my binary kernal so a program i intend to use is configured correctly, will i actually be affecting my current kernel at all?
[05:19] <jn> id just be compiling the source kernel correct which would leave my current kernel setup unaffected?
[05:20] <mainer> yes,if you make no mistakes
[05:20] <knapper> How can I get my Logitech mx310 to use 800dpi instead of 400dpi?
[05:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Wiseguy: gnome-look.org has many many themes and almost all will work with no problem, just open the theme manager and drop the .tar onto it
[05:20] <synic> jn: did this app ask you for the entire source, or just the headers?
[05:20] <jn> entire kernel source
[05:21] <synic> jn: can you paste the error you got when you tried to compiled the app (on a pastebin)?
[05:22] <jn> im sure i need to have the source
[05:22] <jn> You don't actually need to build the kernel (unless you want to)
[05:22] <synic> then all you need are the headers
[05:22] <jn> from some docs
[05:22] <jn> make mrproper
[05:22] <jn> make menuconfig  # configure the source to match # your kernel
[05:22] <jn> make dep
[05:23] <jn> says i need to run those from kerenl source root dir
[05:23] <jn> will that affect my current system at all?
[05:24] <jn> the point is to build your kernel source's dependencies so that BestCrypt can compile additional kernel modules that match
[05:24] <powder> knapper, try this http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=4357
[05:24] <synic> jn: if it needs kernel modules that match, you'll need to be running a kernel that matches.
[05:24] <Jack_Sparrow> !compile
[05:24] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[05:25] <pinky> Hey, what's a good program to use with my iPod?
[05:25] <jn> synic: i wish there was a pre compiled version or package
[05:25] <jn> this sucks
[05:25] <ToHellWithGA> i need help with a local network installation.  the "etherboot" floppy i made does boot but looks to my router's address (192.168.1.1) for DHCP while i'm running a DHCP server on this box (192.168.1.109)
[05:25] <bimberi> !kernelcompile
[05:25] <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

[05:25] <jn> i really dont want to.. i like auto security updates
[05:26] <jn> i think imma gonna copy what i want, then format, too much trouble
[05:26] <scottevil> hello, I need to build a kernel module that I can load into the kernel of the livecd
[05:26] <jn> problem is that is a full 100gb drive and all i have is 25gb free here
[05:26] <scottevil> problem is, that kernel versions disagree
[05:27] <scottevil> livecd is 2.6.15-26, latest ubuntu is 2.6.15.7-ubuntu1
[05:28] <scottevil> getting error about "disagrees about version of symbol struct_module"
[05:28] <scottevil> so how do I get ahold of ubuntu 2.6.15-26?
[05:29] <bb|Gishnob`Linux> hey
[05:29] <scottevil> error occurs when I try to insmod the built kernel module
[05:29] <Brkopac> Hey Guys, how do I add resoultions to my choices?, it doesn't seem to want to let me go to 1280x1024
[05:29] <bb|Gishnob`Linux> if i want to mount a windows share using samba
[05:29] <jessid> can some of you recommend some good download manager for gnome?
[05:29] <bb|Gishnob`Linux> can i do it if the share has a space
[05:29] <bb|Gishnob`Linux> like //server/share name
[05:30] <powder> Brkopac, if that resolution is not listed, you'll have to force it with a custom modeline
[05:30] <Brkopac> How would I go about doing that?
[05:30] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell Brkopac about resolution
[05:30] <Brkopac> Thanks =D
[05:31] <powder> Brkopac, you can generate a modeline here:  http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl
[05:32] <Ropechoborra> How do i update gaim to the latest version?
[05:33] <saltydog> sudo apt-get install gaim
[05:34] <eletido> saltydog: does that update to the 2.0 beta
[05:34] <eletido> or just 1.5
[05:34] <snowman> Greetings! :)  If anyone's got a moment to help troubleshoot an ubuntu or kubuntu install on a toshiba 2180cdt laptop, I'd appreciate the tips.  Seems to work fine, 'cept the resolution is stuck in 640x480
[05:34] <Ropechoborra> It says it is already updated, but i got 1.5 and in in softpedia.com it says its 2.0
[05:34] <saltydog> the latest stable version
[05:34] <jbroome> !resolution snowman
[05:34] <ubotu> I know nothing about resolution snowman - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[05:34] <Constrabus> Ropedhoborra, that will only install the sucky stable version.. you should downlaod the beta src from www.gaim.sfnet and compile that
[05:34] <jbroome> !resolution >snowman
[05:35] <Constrabus> www.gain.sf.net **
[05:35] <Ropechoborra> saltydog do u know about other cool msn client (not amsn or kopete)
[05:35] <Ropechoborra> amsn just goes to slow
[05:35] <bb|Gishnob`Linux> gaim
[05:35] <bb|Gishnob`Linux> use gaim
[05:35] <Ropechoborra> and i dont like kopete
[05:35] <bb|Gishnob`Linux> gaim.sourceforge.net
[05:35] <saltydog> gaim is what i use
[05:35] <Ropechoborra> bb|Gishnob but it doesnt have video conference
[05:35] <powder> stable gaim works fine for me
[05:35] <bb|Gishnob`Linux> ohhh
[05:35] <Awesome-o2000> powder, fine for me too
[05:35] <bb|Gishnob`Linux> then your screwed :p
[05:35] <Awesome-o2000> only diff I noticed was the sounds
[05:35] <Matir> I have an ipw3945 chipset, linux-image and linux-restricted-modules both installed for 686.  the wifi light on my notebook flashes, but it still won't associate.  suggestions?
[05:36] <Ropechoborra> bb|Gishnob it doesnt tell show wich contact goes online
[05:36] <bb|Gishnob`Linux> i think theres a plugin for that
[05:36] <panickedthumb> can anyone in here help with a very specific MTA problem?
[05:36] <saltydog> i have the ipw3945 also but it loaded right up
[05:36] <snowman> am I mistaken in thinking that changing the xorg.conf to only list "800x600" for the default screen depth should work?
[05:37] <Ropechoborra> bb|Gishnob the windows bar just shows 2 buttoms (for two conversations) not more =/
[05:37] <Matir> saltydog, with the -686 kernel, or with -386?
[05:37] <saltydog> 686-smp
[05:37] <powder> snowman, what do you mean by "work"?
[05:37] <snowman> powder: display in 800x600
[05:38] <Matir> saltydog, 2.6.15-26-686?
[05:38] <saltydog> did ya redo the networking?
[05:38] <snowman> as opposed to 640x480 which it's been in since the install
[05:38] <powder> snowman, not necessarily
[05:38] <saltydog> yes Matir
[05:38] <powder> snowman, are you able to switch to 800x600 with the screen resolution utility?
[05:38] <saltydog> 2.6.15-26-686-smp
[05:38] <maalox> Does anyone know if obexftp is broken in edgy?
[05:39] <snowman> ah.  that's worked on other systems.  suggestions would be welcome.  800x600 is the native res. for this laptop.  and no, wasn't able to select anything my 640x480 in the display applet.
[05:39] <mister_roboto> maalox, edgy is in #ubuntu+1
[05:39] <maalox> mister_roboto: thanks, my bad
[05:39] <powder> snowman, you will have to generate a custom modeline for 800x600 and put that in your xorg.conf
[05:39] <snowman> crap :\
[05:40] <snowman> I have no idea what the modeline for this laptop display would be :\
[05:40] <steve_Laptop> well looks like im back to the drawing board with samba
[05:40] <powder> snowman, what refresh rate do u want with 800x600?
[05:40] <snowman> 60hz would be fine.
[05:41] <prophet2> can someone help me with something
[05:42] <saltydog> what config file do i edit to get fluxbox to locate and access my usb hd?
[05:42] <prophet2> i did a apt-get remove blah blah server-xgl
[05:42] <minerale> can anyone suggest an alarm clock program I can use to wake me up ?
[05:42] <prophet2> rebooted and the x server could not load
[05:42] <powder> snowman, generate a modeline here:  http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl
[05:42] <prophet2> .. leaves me at ALI
[05:42] <prophet2> CLI
[05:42] <saltydog> xmms has an alarm plugin
[05:42] <saltydog> works well for me
[05:43] <snowman> wouldn't i need to know the sync rates for this display?
[05:43] <powder> snowman, they aren't required
[05:43] <snowman> so just leave blank what I don't know?
[05:43] <snowman> I get: Modeline "800x600@60" 38.21 800 832 976 1008 600 612 618 631
[05:43] <synic> snowman: you can look them up.
[05:43] <snowman> does that look reasonable?
[05:43] <powder> snowman, all you need is the resolution and refresh rate
[05:44] <Tsukino> so, sudo doesn't give as much power as root?
[05:44] <snowman> thanks :)
[05:44] <coringa> # bra
[05:44] <NickGarvey> Tsukino: it should.. "sudo -i" is pretty close to being in a root sholl
[05:44] <coringa> help
[05:44] <synic> Tsukino: it can, and does, if you're in the admin group.
[05:44] <NickGarvey> shell*
[05:45] <powder> snowman, now add "Modeline "800x600@60" 38.21 800 832 976 1008 600 612 618 631 -hsync +vsync" to the Monitor section in your xorg.conf
[05:45] <BlueEagle> coringa: It's really very hard to help you when we don't know what you require help with.
[05:45] <snowman> Modeline "800x600@60" 38.21 800 832 976 1008 600
[05:45] <snowman> oops.  c/p error
[05:46] <snowman> powder: thanks.  I'll give that a shot. :)
[05:46] <powder> snowman, not sure if you will need the -hsync +vsync, i needed them for my modeline to work but I have a CRT monitor
[05:46] <permissionshelp> when I boot, it gets all started up and starts the gdm, I put my username and password in and it does its thing and then an error message pops up saying that it fails to load because .gnome2_private needs to be owned only by the user and not anyone else, what is the appropriate chmod ### to give it in order to fit that description

[05:52] <saltydog> yes
[05:52] <jn> i'll check it out, did you have to install anything additional (codecs.. etc)>
[05:52] <powder> mplayer > xine ;)
[05:52] <Centaur5> thanks Daemoen
[05:52] <jn> i noticed a problem with audio sync and mplayer
[05:52] <jn> both xine and mplayer come with all the codecs you need for xvid rite?

[05:53] <minerale> saltydog: must you leave xmms open for the alarm to work ?
[05:53] <mainer> jn: ,you just need the kernel-source so bestcrypt can build what it needs,you compile bestcrypt which makes whats need,and,install it  homepage=  http://www.jetico.com/linux.html
[05:53] <saltydog> yes minerale
[05:53] <minerale> thanks... now if I can only figure out how to remove kde

[05:54] <saltydog> yeah i'm not fond of kde...too bloated
[05:54] <jn> mainer: ?
[05:54] <david> Google didn't know
[05:54] <powder> google always knows!
[05:54] <mainer> you wanted bestcrypt,no?

[05:54] <aujordanh> powder, agreed
[05:55] <alienseer23> how do I get ubuntu to redetect my hardware? it is not properly detecting my video card...???
[05:55] <saltydog> keyword easyubuntu and it should be the first link
[05:55] <Daemoen> so i take it there is no option for installing all the packages listed under the "not installed" section of synaptic in one swipe then?
[05:56] <mainer> saltydog: i tried the stable/development,both had the bug posted on easyubuntu home,automatix worked flawlessly
[05:56] <powder> Daemoen, lol
[05:56] <saltydog> i wouldn't even try installing all of them
[05:56] <saltydog> for easyubuntu? mainer
[05:57] <avis> can you encrypt a usb fat 32 hard drive and have it read both under linux and xp-32.

[06:01] <saltydog> ok...do what ya know
[06:01] <powder> Brkopac, rm -rf
[06:01] <aujordanh> Brkopac, rm
[06:01] <snowman> Brkopac: rm
[06:01] <klees> how can i reset an icon i applied???
[06:02] <Brkopac> thanks
[06:02] <snowman> Brkopac: rm -rf if you want to recursively delete a directory, and "force" it.
[06:02] <Brkopac> ah, thanks
[06:02] <klees> ex.  i used a custom Firefox icon but when i change icon themes it doesn't use the icon theme icon
[06:02] <jn> what are good settings for postproccessing and auto sync?
[06:02] <snowman> Brkopac: so to remove a file: rm <filename>  to remove a dir: rm -rf <dir name>
[06:02] <aujordanh> snowman, i have trouble with the concept of removing recursively. What does it mean?
[06:02] <mainer> saltydog: i'm no newb,i dual-boot ArchLinux also,have used slack,many other distro's fwiw
[06:02] <Brkopac> thanks a buch =D
[06:02] <crossy> I am having a problem where I cannot install hotplug. apt-get install hotplug or apt-cache search hotplug does not give me a hotplug package?
[06:02] <Brkopac> bunch*
[06:03] <saltydog> oh ok...:)
[06:03] <snowman> aujordanh what it means is that if you tell rm to "recursively" remove a directory.  any files in it go to.  any subdirectories and _their_ files are also smoked.
[06:04] <powder> smoke em
[06:04] <aujordanh> snowman, thank you
[06:04] <jn> i still think xvid looks nicer on my windows boxen
[06:04] <klees> anyone??
[06:05] <snowman> np
[06:05] <jn> powder: what are your settings for auto skip and post processing?
[06:05] <david> Has anyone ever added a windows install to a pre-existing ubuntu installation without destroying ubuntu?
[06:05] <jn> in mplayer
[06:05] <powder> jn, i think perhaps windows has better mpeg-4 codecs than linux
[06:05] <jn> is there better than xvid 1 for linux? thats the codec i see mplayer using
[06:06] <powder> jn, i have postprocessing set to max most of the time, though on a high quality movie you should turn it down or else picture will look washy
[06:06] <jn> also what does xgl do exactly i hear about it alot, i tried to install once and messed my system up bad, had to reinstall ubuntu
[06:06] <rredd4> david  it overwrites the mbr so it looks like ubuntu is not there, just reinstall grub
[06:07] <HellDragon> heh
[06:07] <jn> block like interface or something like that?
[06:07] <rredd4> david i believe the wiki has something about installing windoze after ubuntu
[06:08] <mainer> david: it can be done,windows won't recognize linux so will only install into a windows filesystem,fat32,ntfs,etc,then re-install grub or w.e. your bootloader of choice is,or chainload it from your win-loader,course grub must be on root-part of ubuntu
[06:08] <crossy> how come sudo apt-get install hotplug does not work?
[06:08] <david> Where should I look to learn about grub and reinstalling it?
[06:09] <mainer> crossy: hotplug is deprecated,udev handles that function,its in ubuntu base,already there
[06:10] <jn> so xgl anyone
[06:10] <paradizelost> hey all.  all of a sudden, my sql server is giving me an error saying that it cannot connect to /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
[06:10] <panickedthumb> anyone in here well versed in setting up a mail server?
[06:10] <iratsu> how does one remove RSA strict checking for RSA?
[06:10] <david> This is great for aiglx and compiz:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=145068
[06:10] <iratsu> err for ssh
[06:11] <crossy> mainer:  I am trying to install ipw3945 wireless drivers and it requires the hotplug firmware directory
[06:11] <david> Where should I go to learn about grub and not breaking anything et al.
[06:11] <unknown_one> hello all
[06:11] <unknown_one> I need some help.
[06:12] <NickGarvey> unknown_one: what can we do for you?
[06:12] <unknown_one> my hard drive keeps seeking and I can't figure out why O_o
[06:12] <unknown_one> even when I'm not running any programs
[06:12] <mainer> david: the ubuntu wiki or the grub home page
[06:12] <NickGarvey> unknown_one: try the program gkrellm to see if theres any hard drive activity,
[06:12] <bimberi> !grub
[06:12] <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
[06:12] <unknown_one> And stuff is lagging real bad
[06:13] <jn> im watching a xgl demo and it looks smooth can someone link me to a safe way to install, last time i tried i did it wrong and had to reinstall ubuntu
[06:13] <david> Thank you mainer, rred, and ubotu so much!
[06:13] <BeepAU> hey, can someone tell me how I can create a launcher for explorer?
[06:13] <NickGarvey> unknown_one: also try "top" (you should have already), to see if your CPU/RAM are full/being used
[06:13] <NickGarvey> david: ubotu is a bot ;)
[06:13] <Brkopac> How would I change a file so I can make it write access as well as read?
[06:13] <HellDragon> heh
[06:13] <david> oh...
[06:14] <NickGarvey> Brkopac: chmod +rw file
[06:14] <Brkopac> ty
[06:14] <BeepAU> Brkopac -- wouldn't you just right click the file, go into properties then permissions?
[06:15] <Brkopac> not logged in as root
[06:15] <unknown_one> NickGarvey: top reveals 99% idle cpu 372800k used of 515940K memory and 30572k of 1461904k swap
[06:15] <BeepAU> Brkopac -- do you have any other profiles on your computer? use the master one.
[06:16] <livecdhelp> I am trying to chown the  /home directory because somehow it got changed and I need to change it back to my username. Anyone have any idea how to do this. Right now I am in live cd and I mounted the drive and tried to do "sudo chown john -R username /home" and it says chown: 'john' : invalid user
[06:16] <Ropechoborra> Is there a way to change the main bar text color ??? (Aplication, system etc, the clock, etc)
[06:16] <unknown_one> NickGarvey: also gkrellm reveals the disk usage going up to 169 randomly.
[06:16] <Madpilot> livecdhelp, the default user on the live CD is "ubuntu"
[06:17] <BeepAU> NickGarvey -- do you know how I can create a launcher for explorer?
[06:17] <livecdhelp> Madpilot, well how do I boot into a console
[06:17] <DanaG> One thing that bugs me on my system is that it sometimes freezes on IDE access.
[06:17] <Madpilot> livecdhelp, you can just go Applications->Accessories->Terminal
[06:17] <livecdhelp> Madpilot, or can I just use chown -R ubuntu /home and then it will be the same
[06:17] <unknown_one> NickGarvey: then when the system slows down the disk jumps to 465
[06:18] <mainer> livecdhelp: its sudo chown <username:group> like chown -R john:users /home/john,you get the idea
[06:18] <Tsukino> weird.. I edited the temperatures in my acpi's trip_points, cat'd it to make sure the changes stuck, now they're back to the old values
[06:18] <jn> has anyone installed xgl?
[06:18] <NickGarvey> unknown_one: use top to look for the program that might be doing that
[06:18] <livecdhelp> the group is not necessary is it
[06:19] <unknown_one> NickGarvey: which part of top should I be looking at?
[06:19] <Centaur5> Does anybody know of a way to burn an audio cd from wma files?
[06:19] <unikon> hey all id like to install guarddog firewall  any idea how i can do it
[06:19] <DanaG> I have XGL.
[06:19] <unikon> or at least some pointers
[06:19] <mainer> livecdhelp: yes in terminal do chown --help
[06:19] <twa1296> jn there's also an xgl support channel, you might be luckier there...
[06:19] <unknown_one> NickGarvey: 87 processes are sleeping and 1 is active the active one is XFCE4 terminal
[06:20] <BeepAU> hey, can someone tell me how I can create a launcher for explorer?
[06:20] <b1shop> u ppl have a spammer for onjoin
   Hello! I'd like to offer you a Dell Inspiron XPS m1710 Notebook (-2.16 GHz /17" /4GB DDR2 /100 GB HDD @ 7200 rpm /512MB DDR video/ WUXGA Truelife (1920 x 1200) /DVD+-RW-), brand new for $ 420 or 400 euros, if interested send me an e-mail  inti3m@yahoo.com  , Thank You
[06:20] <livecdhelp> mainer, http://www.computerhope.com/unix/uchown.htm is that not correct?
[06:20] <NickGarvey> unknown_one: I'm not sure of a program that would show you what is doing that.. hmm..
[06:21] <knapper> How can I get my Logitech mx310 to use 800dpi instead of 400dpi?
[06:21] <unknown_one> I gotta go I'll cya tomarrow :)
[06:22] <mainer> livecdhelp: not afaik i've used chowned the way chown --help specifys,it worked:0
[06:22] <livecdhelp> mainer, if that is not correct, john is the only user on the computer, I haven't really set up groups or multiple accounts, so what would the group be?
[06:22] <mainer> primary group s.b. users,or john
[06:23] <livecdhelp> so john:users
[06:23] <mainer> yes
[06:23] <unikon> hey mainer say goodnight to HappyHobo for me please
[06:23] <mainer> k
[06:24] <Frankenstein_AFK> may we ban inti3m please
[06:24] <BeepAU> hey, can someone tell me how I can create a launcher for explorer?
[06:24] <Frankenstein_AFK> BeepAU, right click on your desktop and select new launcher
[06:25] <BeepAU> Frankenstein_AFK -- what's the command i enter?
[06:26] <knapper> How can I get my Logitech mx310 to use 800dpi instead of 400dpi?
[06:26] <livecdhelp> mainer, i get the same error message, I think it has to do with the fact that I am in live cd
[06:26] <Frankenstein_AFK> BeepAU, whats wrong with clicking on your desktop?
[06:26] <mainer> did you chroot first?
[06:27] <mainer> or sudo su in live-cd?
[06:27] <BeepAU> Frankenstein_AFK -- i'd just rather have a launcher. please?
[06:27] <saltydog> wine /what/ever/directory your/explorer.exe is in
[06:27] <Frankenstein_AFK> thats what im telling to you use?
[06:27] <Frankenstein_AFK> lol
[06:28] <BeepAU> Frankenstein_AFK -- yes, but a launcher on my desktop for the explorer is what i'm looking for, to the home folder or whatever
[06:28] <livecdhelp> mainer, I sudo su before the chown
[06:28] <tebriel> I've been through 5 different tutorials to no avail, anyone know how to enable airport extreme on an apple laptop?
[06:28] <mainer> livecdhelp: you probly need root=administrator privileges
[06:28] <snowman> which is likely faster, ubuntu or kubuntu?
[06:28] <snowman> and by faster, I mean less resource intensive.
[06:28] <mainer> livecdhelp: you need admin in live-cd to change it seems like
[06:28] <Frankenstein_AFK> BeepAU, thats what i told you to do?  go to your desktop right click, new launcher for command enter wine /path/to/explorer
[06:29] <livecdhelp> mainer, I know or think I know there is some keyboard combination that when held allows you to boot into console instead of x, do you know how to do that, it seems like I could change it there
[06:29] <BeepAU> Frankenstein_AFK -- not for wine, just the ubuntu explorer
[06:29] <fishy> what's the command to take a screenshot in Ubuntu? I need to set a 5 second delay. I've done it before, but can't remember how.
[06:29] <Ghost_Printer> snowman: Xubuntu is the lightest on system
[06:29] <mainer> not that i know of,but you mean ctrl+alt+F1-F12
[06:30] <Brkopac> wow + linux
[06:30] <Frankenstein_AFK> BeepAU, you can go to places, home folder
[06:30] <BeepAU> Frankenstein_AFK -- i know, but i'd like a launcher on the panel, is that not possible?
[06:31] <twa1296> BeepAU the launcher command is nautilus
[06:31] <snowman> ghost_printer, yeah, but I don't have the cd for that.
[06:31] <livecdhelp> all i want is to get a command prompt instead of trying to boot into x, does holding ctrl+alt+f1 during boot do that?
[06:31] <Ghost_Printer> okay
[06:31] <snowman> was more looking for an "out of these 2 options" idea :P
[06:31] <cafuego> BeepAU: Right click the panel, click 'Add to panel..'
[06:31] <livecdhelp> I only want to be thorough here because the live cd takes forever to load
[06:32] <mainer> actually ubuntu is F!-F& i believe,distro's vary,no in loaded-up live-cd at log-in manager
[06:32] <fishy> Anyone know how to take screenshots?
[06:32] <cafuego> or simply drag the file browser icon to the panel.
[06:32] <mainer> before starting x,logout,then dio it
[06:32] <cafuego> fishy: Applications > Accessories > Take SCreenshot
[06:32] <livecdhelp> ok
[06:32] <DanaG> How can I rename eth1 to wlan0?
[06:33] <Ghost_Printer> snowman: ubuntu is Gnome and kubuntu is KDE.    both run about the same
[06:33] <cafuego> DanaG: Hack the driver.
[06:33] <snowman> Ghost_Printer: that's what I sort of thought, but there used to be a speed advantage to kde, so I thought I'd ask.
[06:34] <Ghost_Printer> okay
[06:34] <BeepAU> cafuego -- thankyou.
[06:34] <trippen> hello im new to linux and unbuntu i am wondering if someone can help me get my sound working via an digitil optical the sound does work with normal hook ups but i cant use those only the digital
[06:35] <fishy> cafuego: Via the terminal?
[06:35] <powder> trippen, have you tried alsamixer?
[06:35] <DanaG> Oh, and how do you delete obsolete gconf entries?
[06:35] <cafuego> fishy: 'sudo apt-get install imagemagick', then 'import -window root screenshot.png'
[06:35] <trippen> powder .. i have to options also and oss i have tried them both
[06:35] <knapper> How can I get my Logitech mx310 to use 800dpi instead of 400dpi? Anyone?
[06:35] <fishy> cafuego: Is there a way to delay screenshots?
[06:36] <knapper> I tried using lmctl but it doesn't recognize my mouse
[06:36] <cafuego> fishy: 'sudo apt-get install imagemagick', then 'sleep <number of seconds>; import -window root screenshot.png'
[06:36] <farous> fishy: did you try gnome-screenshot
[06:36] <DanaG> Oh, great.  Now my wobbly is being slow.
[06:36] <fishy> farous: That's what I'd like to use
[06:37] <powder> trippen, type "alsamixer" in console
[06:38] <trippen> powder:  it popped up a box that looks like some old ansi drawings of sound lvls
[06:38] <twa1296> any way i can view an image file from the cl?
[06:39] <powder> trippen, scroll to the right and see if the device you are looking for is in there
[06:39] <trippen> powder:  what device would i be looking for
[06:39] <trippen> powder:  less then 5 hours with a nix box and ubuntu :)
[06:39] <powder> trippen, you tell me haha
[06:40] <powder> trippen, look at the devices that have [off]  at the end and try turning them on
[06:40] <fishy> farous: I used gnome-screensaver before, how do I delay with that?
[06:40] <powder> trippen, you can switch them on and off with the "." key
[06:41] <trippen> powder once i turn them all on how do i save it and test it
[06:41] <powder> trippen, just press esc it will save your changes
[06:41] <snowman> *sigh* the ubuntu installer doesn't work in 640x480.
[06:41] <snowman> you can't get to the "next" button on the language selection screen :P
[06:41] <farous> fishy: you mean gnome-screenshot i think there was an option in it. it is a gui so just look it up if it is not there it is not
[06:42] <lmosher> Is it possible to make apps go on top of the panel?
[06:42] <DanaG> !kernel
[06:42] <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
[06:45] <trippen> powder:  still nothing.. the optical port did not light up at all.. and there is still no sound from it
[06:45] <ScreaminIke> can someone help me with this problem http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19995 ... i had squid, i uninstalled it, now my apt is fubar, and i can't even reinstall squid
[06:46] <powder> trippen, not sure then... try searching the ubuntu forums
[06:47] <mrPolite> "If the repos are slow: use a mirror!" why is this acceptable? this is supposed to be an LTS release
[06:47] <trippen> powder:  okay thank you..
[06:47] <dazvid> Is memprof (or similar) available in a .deb ?
[06:47] <trippen> does anyone know how i can set a file assiaction .. so that when i double click a file it opens with the program i want and not the default one
[06:47] <mrPolite> trippen: right click the file - properties
[06:48] <ScreaminIke> mrPolite - beat me to the punch
[06:48] <DanaG> I wish it could transparently redirect to a mirror.
[06:48] <Madpilot> !info memprof
[06:48] <ubotu> memprof: Memory profiler and leak detector. In repository main, is optional. Version 0.5.1-12ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 337 kB, installed size 1308 kB (Only available for i386)
[06:48] <trippen> thank you
[06:48] <Madpilot> dazvid, it's in the repos
[06:48] <ScreaminIke> ;) don't suppose you have any advice for my issue
[06:48] <dazvid> hmm ok
[06:48] <mrPolite> whatcha got?
[06:49] <dazvid> Madpilot, I have pretty much every repos enabled (defaults and a few extra) but memprof returns nada
[06:49] <dazvid> so is it in a specific one?
[06:49] <_Dud> Hey I'm having a problem
[06:49] <Madpilot> dazvid, it's in main, you shouldn't even have to enable anything
[06:50] <dazvid> strange
[06:50] <chris86wm> is it true that there is no WPA support in ubuntu?
[06:50] <Madpilot> _Dud, helps if you ask an actual question, then you can get actual help :)
[06:50] <mrPolite> chris86wm: tht usually aplies to people who use ndswrapper for wireless
[06:50] <_Dud> I have an intel processor so I downloaded the latest ubuntu iso for intel.. I burnt it as a bootable DVD.. It boots correctly but when I click Install (by OEM and Text) it hangs and restarts my pc
[06:51] <chris86wm> mrPolite, i didnt have to use nds to config my card, but it doesnt seem to work
[06:51] <dazvid> Madpilot, have you tried searching it recently?
[06:51] <bruenig> /dev/sda4	/media/sda4	ext3	defaults	0	0, does this look like a proper fstab entry?
[06:51] <mrPolite> _Dud: have you tired downloading the standard live cd installer?
[06:51] <Madpilot> dazvid, AFAIK the bot keeps it's database up to date
[06:52] <Madpilot> !info memprof
[06:52] <ubotu> memprof: Memory profiler and leak detector. In repository main, is optional. Version 0.5.1-12ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 337 kB, installed size 1308 kB (Only available for i386)
[06:52] <dazvid> oh
[06:52] <dazvid> 32 bit
[06:52] <dudus> _Dud: have you checked the integrity of your downloaded file?
[06:52] <dazvid> Where can I get the 32 bit packages?
[06:52] <_Dud> mrPolite no Im using the download from the site and dudus yes I did..
[06:52] <Madpilot> dazvid, are you running 64bit?
[06:52] <dazvid> yuh
[06:52] <_Dud> mrPolite I'm using the CD for Desktop Computers (not servers) frm the site..
[06:53] <Madpilot> dazvid, ah, that might be it - I run 32bit myself, just checked, and have memprof listed
[06:53] <mrPolite> _Dud: im just wondering why you're using teh OEM installer instead of teh standard
[06:53] <_Dud> mr_lampe i tried both
[06:53] <powder> _Dud, where exactly does the installer fail?
[06:53] <_Dud> mrp*
[06:53] <_Dud> powder It doesnt even star
[06:53] <_Dud> start*
[06:53] <_Dud> It just says Decompressing
[06:53] <_Dud> And then it restarts the box
[06:54] <lmosher> I'm running a game that launches a window and then goes full screen. In metacity it covers the whole screen, but in compiz the gnome panel is on top. How can I prevent this?
[06:54] <Madpilot> _Dud, you sure that the md5sum of your download works?
[06:54] <dazvid> well in ubotu's post it stated i386 only
[06:54] <dazvid> :(
[06:54] <powder> _Dud, overclocking?  checked memory with memtest86?
[06:54] <dazvid> Im sure it would work though
[06:54] <_Dud> I did the mem test
[06:54] <Madpilot> dazvid, yeah, which is odd...
[06:54] <_Dud> Madpilot I didn't download the md5 file..
[06:54] <dazvid> thanks for the help mate ^_^
[06:54] <ToHellWithGA> i need help getting net install to work using a single floppy and two computers on the same router
[06:55] <Celeste> I got a problem concerning JAVA ...  as far as I know,  Ubuntu has the REAL  Java in the repositories  (Name of the package:  "sun-java5-jre")   So I downloaded this Java.    The Problem:   frostwire still searches for Java and cannot find it ( http://sial.org/pbot/18839 )   and  firefox also does not find  Java (it does not show java applets)   --  what can I do?
[06:55] <dudus> _Dud: how did you check the integrity without the md5 file?
[06:55] <_Dud> dudus how can I check the integrity with the md5 file..
[06:55] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell Celeste about java
[06:56] <Madpilot> _Dud, in XP: http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[06:56] <wasauce>  im looking for the script that is run when someone runs the command shutdown or when through the gui one selects shutdown... any ideas where i might find it? i did a locate for shutdown but didnt find anything too interesting
[06:56] <ScreaminIke> can someone help me with this problem http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19995 ... i had squid, i uninstalled it, now my apt is fubar, and i can't even reinstall squid
[06:56] <harisund> ToHellWithGA are you still on that problem we were discussing earlier this afternoon/eveningish?
[06:57] <ToHellWithGA> i am, harisund
[06:57] <harisund> hmm.. then we need to get it fixed :)
[06:57] <ToHellWithGA> the guide on the ubuntu website is not very easy :(
[06:57] <dudus> _Dud: in linux use `md5sum thedownloadeddisc.iso` and check if the line matches the one on the md5 file
[06:57] <TGM> I'm trying to install fonts via sudo nautilus- I've come in here and asked for directions, I go to the fonts:/// directory and try pasteing them in there however they never copy into the folder. The only other way i know how to do this is one at a time and I would rather avoid that slower option, is there something else I can do to install several fonts at once?
[06:57] <nalioth> TGM: don't sudo nautilus
[06:57] <nalioth> !gksudo
[06:57] <ubotu> If you need to run graphical applications as root, use gksudo, as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Avoid ever using sudo {guiapp}
[06:57] <nalioth> TGM: you'll mess your permissions all up
[06:57] <ToHellWithGA> i'm actually somewhat disappointed in its failure to be easy.  ubuntu's wiki pages tend to be far more thorough than https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot
[06:58] <Celeste> Madpilot, well I did what I can read there...
[06:59] <TGM> Nalioth: thanks, I'll try gksudo
[07:00] <killapop_> hi - how does one promote an ordinary user to a sudoer? pls advise
[07:00] <ToHellWithGA> harisund: please take a look at that page ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot ) and my latest pastebin of /etc/dnsmasq.conf ( http://thestonepedo.pastebin.ca ) if you get a chance
[07:00] <ToHellWithGA> killapop_: i think you can alias the sudo'd commands
[07:00] <radar1976__> hello  Tutter
[07:00] <radar1976__> I fixed it
[07:00] <radar1976__> thanks!!
[07:00] <nalioth> killapop_: system > admin > users and groups
[07:00] <radar1976__> it was the iptables
[07:01] <TGM> Nalioth: er... how do I -use- gksudo?
[07:01] <killapop_> ToHellWithGA, nalioth, thanks. how do i do it from the command line? Im ssh'd into a server and want to promote another user
[07:02] <nalioth> TGM: you can hit the alt-f2 keys and enter "gksudo nautilus" in the field, or you can do that from a terminal
[07:02] <nalioth> killapop_: ahhh, i see
[07:02] <nalioth> killapop_: adduser --help
[07:02] <ToHellWithGA> .me calls "not it" knowing nothing about command line user changing stuff
[07:02] <TGM> ah, alright, thanks Nalioth ^^
[07:02] <killapop_> thanks !
[07:03] <ScreaminIke> no help, eh?
[07:03] <Bearcat> hello
[07:04] <Bearcat> i'm trying to help a friend with a ubuntu install. We are doing this over the phone. When does the install ask you for the root password
[07:04] <Awal> never
[07:04] <Madpilot> Bearcat, never.
[07:04] <Madpilot> !sudo
[07:04] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[07:04] <Bearcat> never?
[07:04] <Awal> yes
[07:04] <Bearcat> is there a default root password then?
[07:04] <cheeby> hi.  my wife's window's xp pc just bit it.  won't boot.  can I use the ubuntu live cd to rescue her Outlook contacts?
[07:04] <Madpilot> Bearcat, see the URL the bot just posted - Ubuntu uses sudo & the user's own password
[07:04] <Awal> no
[07:04] <killapop_> Bearcat, nope
[07:04] <_Dud> Would you guys reccomend running a LiveCD of a Linux Distro as a web server if I'm not going to be using the CD drive for anything else?
[07:04] <ardchoille> !root > Bearcat
[07:05] <DanaG> Argh, gnome-settings-daemon won't run.
[07:05] <Bearcat> wait..wait
[07:05] <Awal> cheeby I wasnt talking to you
[07:05] <ScreaminIke> can someone help me with this problem http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19995 ... i had squid, i uninstalled it, now my apt is fubar, and i can't even reinstall squid
[07:05] <cheeby> Awal, ok.  thanks.
[07:05] <Bearcat> are you telling me that ubuntu wants someone to run all root apps with su?
[07:05] <Madpilot> Bearcat, no, with sudo
[07:06] <ScreaminIke> bearcat or gksudo
[07:06] <Bearcat> yeah, that's what i meant, sorry
[07:06] <ScreaminIke> yea
[07:06] <_Dud> Would you guys reccomend running a LiveCD of a Linux Distro as a web server if I'm not going to be using the CD drive for anything else?
[07:06] <ScreaminIke> you can change that
[07:06] <Madpilot> _Dud, the liveCD is fairly slow, compared to an installed OS
[07:06] <ScreaminIke> _Dud, i've heard of it being done before
[07:06] <Bearcat> so when you are in kde and it askes you for the administrator password, you put in...what?
[07:06] <ScreaminIke> Bearcat your user pass
[07:06] <Madpilot> Bearcat, your own user password
[07:06] <nalioth> cheeby: you can use the Ubuntu liveCD to copy the files to another networked computer or burn them to a cd-r (if you have two optical drives)
[07:07] <Bearcat> ScreaminIke: this is blowing my mind
[07:07] <powder> lol
[07:07] <ScreaminIke> Bearcat you an experienced debian user?
[07:07] <Madpilot> Bearcat, the user that is created during install has sudo privs; any other user accounts won't, unless you give it to them
[07:07] <Bearcat> maddox: ahh..ok
[07:07] <cheeby> nalioth, how do I access the drives?  If I cd to /dev/hdc I just get what's on the disc.
[07:07] <_Dud> Madpilot is it extremely slow?
[07:08] <Madpilot> _Dud, depends how much RAM you have, and how fast the PC is generally
[07:08] <noiesmo> I am wanting to order about 50 Kubuntu and 20 Xubuntu cd's thru shipit but I am was wanting them in time for Software freedom day. but shipit's says to allow up to 10 weeks by which time the days gone is there a way to get them quicker
[07:08] <_Dud> well
[07:08] <_Dud> 512mbit should be enough
[07:09] <Bearcat> ScreaminIke: no. I use sourcemage (gentoo in bash)
[07:09] <Madpilot> noiesmo, contact shipit directly - there's an email address on the ShipIt site somewhere
[07:09] <Bearcat> ScreaminIke: that's a simplification, but that's kinda what it is
[07:09] <ScreaminIke> noiesmo, the only thing i can think of is to fly into the netherlands and get them yourself
[07:09] <noiesmo> Madpilot, cheers wil do
[07:09] <noiesmo> ScreaminIke, funny                 NOT
[07:10] <ScreaminIke> Bearcat, i imagine transitioning to ubuntu would be like moving from slack to osx
[07:10] <ScreaminIke> bearcat, for you, anyway
[07:11] <ScreaminIke> noiesmo, that's honestly the only suggestion i had.
[07:11] <mrPolite> noiesmo: pressing your own might not be to far fetched either
[07:11] <mrPolite> about a days work id say
[07:11] <nalioth> cheeby: /msg ubotu ntfs
[07:12] <ScreaminIke> mrPolite, nothing about my problem, then?
[07:12] <Bearcat> ScreaminIke: well, i'm stickign with sourcemage, but i hae a friend who installed ubuntu and we are trouble shooting over the phone :)
[07:12] <mrPolite> ScreaminIke: sorry, not experince with it
[07:12] <ScreaminIke> this problem: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19995 ... i had squid, i uninstalled it, now my apt is fubar, and i can't even reinstall squid
[07:12] <ScreaminIke> is there any way i can rescue my apt?
[07:14] <CheetahMk2> hm... how do I install GNOME on Xubuntu? I can log in on a 'Gnome' session, but the screen just shows a blank coffee desktop, no application menu, no nothing. How to I set that up?
[07:15] <ScreaminIke> cheetahmk2  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop?
[07:15] <CheetahMk2> I installed the AIGLX drivers successfully, and Xompiz is laoded too. But it does nothign in the XFCE interface
[07:15] <radar1976__> ScreaminIke, check /etc/apt.conf
[07:15] <CheetahMk2> I used Xubuntu-desktop, not ubuntu-desktop.
[07:15] <Kwipper> I want to try out Ubuntu Linux... on my 2GB flash Drive. What do I need to do? I am downloading the Desktop ISO right now.
[07:15] <ScreaminIke> radar1976__ should i post it?
[07:15] <CheetahMk2> Kwipper: I have a 2gb laptop drive, and it ran out of space
[07:15] <radar1976__> make sure no proxy is set
[07:16] <Kwipper> Wow really?
[07:16] <CheetahMk2> It needs at least 2.5gb space
[07:16] <Kwipper> Sheesh
[07:16] <CheetahMk2> yeah
[07:16] <CheetahMk2> So I got Ubuntu server
[07:16] <Kwipper> Forget that idea then
[07:16] <CheetahMk2> and installed a desktop (xbuntu) myself using aptitude
[07:16] <CheetahMk2> now I am trying to get XGL/AIXGL working
[07:16] <ScreaminIke> empty file, radar
[07:16] <CheetahMk2> You should try the server install
[07:17] <Kwipper> Yk
[07:17] <Kwipper> k\
[07:17] <CheetahMk2> then use aptitude to install a desktop thing, you can cut out unecessary packages
[07:17] <CheetahMk2> even then, it was close, only 150mb free
[07:17] <radar1976__> ScreaminIke, put this in the file
[07:17] <radar1976__> Acquire::http::Proxy "false";
[07:18] <ScreaminIke> done
[07:18] <ScreaminIke> saved
[07:18] <ScreaminIke> now what?
[07:18] <radar1976__> now try
[07:18] <ScreaminIke> Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper-commercial/Release.gpg  Could not connect to 127.0.0.1:3128 (127.0.0.1). - connect (111 Connection refused)
[07:18] <cbx33> any sounds gurus here, sometimes when I try to start JACK, it says hw0 is already in use
[07:18] <cbx33> why?
[07:18] <cbx33> but this only happens sometimes
[07:19] <ScreaminIke> cbx33 is esd running?
[07:19] <cbx33> not sure
[07:19] <ScreaminIke> i always kill esd before running anything like that
[07:19] <radar1976__> do host archive.canonical.com 127.0.0.1
[07:19] <radar1976__> whats the result?
[07:19] <cbx33> ScreaminIke, yes it is running
[07:19] <cbx33> ahhh
[07:19] <cbx33> so that sould be it
[07:19] <cbx33> ScreaminIke, I also have a midi2x2 box
[07:20] <cbx33> and if that is left plugged in, that seems t get hw0
[07:20] <ScreaminIke> ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
[07:20] <cbx33> anyway I can configre this differently?
[07:20] <radar1976__> ok  port 3128 is squid
[07:20] <radar1976__> check your iptables
[07:20] <ScreaminIke> cbx33 i'm not THAT good. i mess around some times
[07:20] <crimsun> cbx33: because sometimes it's being used.
[07:20] <ScreaminIke> radar where is my soundtable?
[07:20] <ScreaminIke> err... iptable
[07:20] <radar1976__> try host archive.canonical.com 4.2.2.1
[07:21] <radar1976__> what is the result
[07:21] <radar1976__> iptables -nL |grep 3128
[07:21] <crimsun> cbx33: it's most likely to happen if you have a python app that releases it after an idle period (which esound, specifically esd, also is configured to do)
[07:21] <cbx33> crimsun, I i turn on the pc with the midi box connected, the sound card aways gets hw1
[07:21] <fyrestrtr> is quicktime 7 supported?
[07:21] <cbx33> if not connected it gets hw0
[07:21] <cbx33> is there any config files I can setup so this doesn't happen?
[07:22] <crimsun> cbx33: sure, pass index masks.
[07:22] <ScreaminIke> radar, pm
[07:22] <cbx33> crimsun, you just said a bunch of stuff I don;t know :p
[07:22] <crimsun> cbx33: you haven't given me much to work with :p
[07:22] <cbx33> crimsun, what do you need :p
[07:22] <crimsun> cbx33: cat /proc/asound/modules, for starters
[07:22] <cbx33> in #flood?
[07:23] <cbx33> pete@ubuntu:~$ cat /proc/asound/modules
[07:23] <cbx33> 0 snd_cmipci
[07:23] <cbx33> shall I plug in the midibox as well
[07:23] <crimsun> ok, and your midi device? is it usb?
[07:23] <cbx33> yes
[07:23] <crimsun> oh, that's simple.
[07:23] <cbx33> 0 snd_cmipci
[07:23] <cbx33> 1 snd_usb_audio
[07:23] <crimsun> echo "options snd-usb-audio index=-1" |sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[07:24] <radar1976__> ok  ScreaminIke pm me the results of iptables -nL|grep 3128
[07:25] <cbx33> now what about making hw0 availbale again after something has grabbed it crimsun ?
[07:25] <radar1976__> ScreaminIke, changing to my registered nick
[07:26] <radar1976>  /msg NickServ IDENTIFY r43edd
[07:26] <ScreaminIke> radar, you just broadcasted that to the channel
[07:26] <crimsun> cbx33: you can't. You can either kill the process, or you can just let it time out. What's the issue?
[07:26] <radar1976> I know!
[07:26] <ScreaminIke> :) that's a tight pass, though
[07:26] <cbx33> crimsun, I can't star the JACK server
[07:26] <fyrestrtr> is there a player available capable to handle quicktime 7 streams?
[07:26] <cbx33> I don;t know what's using hw0
[07:27] <crimsun> cbx33: the most likely culprit it esound being enabled. /Uncheck/ System> Preferences> Sound> Enable software sound mixing .
[07:27] <ScreaminIke> not as sweet as mitnick's 500+ char pass. but tight, still
[07:27] <crimsun> is esound 6
[07:27] <cbx33> ok
[07:27] <cbx33> what functionality do I lose there?
[07:27] <crimsun> system sounds
[07:27] <crimsun> (blame libgnome)
[07:27] <cbx33> ah ok
[07:27] <cbx33> it's funny it's normally fine
[07:28] <Brkopac> hey guys in a .sh file how do you get it to automatically select either Y or N to a warning?
[07:28] <cbx33> just today it's thrown a fit
[07:28] <radar1976> grrr stupid space
[07:28] <crimsun> cbx33: lsof /dev/dsp* /dev/snd/*   will tell you what's holding the sound devices
[07:28] <ScreaminIke> invisible killer
[07:28] <cbx33> crimsun, yup esd alright
[07:28] <radar1976> ok  ScreaminIke as i said 3128 is used for squid
[07:28] <ScreaminIke> any idea how ifix this? is it an apt issue? is it an iptable issue?
[07:29] <cbx33> just gonna reboot and test :D
[07:29] <radar1976> you have some redirect in your iptables or apt-get is configured to use the proxy
[07:29] <ScreaminIke> as you can see, my irc works fine. as does my firefox.
[07:29] <ScreaminIke> let me see if it's something with root
[07:30] <ScreaminIke> root's firefox hits google...

[08:01] <Guitarhero11> Hey is there a way to have flash 7 output that its flash 8 or 9 so sites will at least let me try to play swfs?

[08:03] <lxe> Guitarhero11: adobe raped linux
[08:03] <DanaG> Wow, I'm using the XGL Water plugin and it isn't even making my CPU break a sweat.
[08:03] <Tixer> I'm on a virtual proc
[08:03] <Tixer> hence why
[08:04] <StarScream> DanaG: thats becuase its using your graphics card
[08:04] <Tixer> it worked!

[08:06] <Tixer> probably pretty stable
[08:07] <andrivid> ok
[08:07] <Tixer> whats the best way to transfer files from a Virtual machine
[08:07] <Tixer> it should be stable, just worry about packages supporting 64b
[08:07] <Tixer> how do I show desktop in kde
[08:08] <Tixer> key combo?
[08:09] <fyrestrtr> my first wiki entry :D https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DemocracyPlayer -- hope I didn't mess it up too much.
[08:10] <lufis> Is there any way to change how many lines the mouse wheel scrolls?
[08:10] <scast> anyone have a link for a PostgreSQL setup/configuration on ubuntu?
[08:10] <Madpilot> fyrestrtr, cool - join #ubuntu-doc if you've got any wiki questions
[08:10] <Tixer> key combo for show desktop?
[08:13] <fyrestrtr> scast: after you have got it installed, head over to #postgres for your questions. Installing is very straight forward.
[08:13] <cooldude007> hi... i am planning to install ubuntu on my brand new dell laptop
[08:13] <Tixer> and?
[08:14] <cooldude007> i was wondering how the dvd and cd images differ
[08:14] <Tixer> installing is easy
[08:14] <Tixer> except on my computer
[08:14] <cooldude007> one is 700 mb and the other is 3.1 GB
[08:14] <fyrestrtr> has anyone been able to successfully play the wwdc 06 quicktime video?
[08:14] <Tixer> I take it more repo
[08:14] <fyrestrtr> cooldude007: the amount of stuff that is on it.
[08:14] <Tixer> 's
[08:14] <Madpilot> cooldude007, DVD has a pile more stuff that can be installed w/o a net connection
[08:14] <cooldude007> could u please elaborate?
[08:14] <cooldude007> i see
[08:14] <cooldude007> a few examples?
[08:14] <scast> fyrestrtr: i think I didn't express myself well. I mean after installing do I need to run something or just sudo su; su - postgres;createuser myname... ?
[08:14] <Tixer> useless if you have intertubes
[08:15] <cooldude007> hahahah
[08:15] <cooldude007> intertubes
[08:15] <Tixer> anyone have a list of key combo's in linux?
[08:15] <cooldude007> i am hearing it fro the first time
[08:15] <Tixer> or interwebs
[08:15] <Tixer> w/e
[08:15] <cooldude007> thanks to politicians i don't need hollywood comedy
[08:15] <Tixer> have you used ubuntu before?
[08:15] <cooldude007> nope
[08:15] <cooldude007> new bie
[08:15] <Tixer> make sure to use automatix
[08:16] <cooldude007> wow... thanks... what's that?
[08:16] <fyrestrtr> scast: you do need to su postgres then create users (use sudo -i not sudo su). But other than that, no. To control the server, use the init scripts (like any other daemon process). sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql -- will give you all options.
[08:16] <Madpilot> cooldude007, automatix is a good way to break your Ubuntu install. Avoid it.
[08:16] <scast> aight
[08:16] <devscott> I was wondering if someone could help me with some termios.h settings ?
[08:16] <Tixer> mah
[08:16] <cooldude007> conflicting information
[08:16] <Tixer> works for me
[08:16] <Madpilot> Tixer, lucky you. Breaks for lots of others.
[08:16] <cooldude007> i have a DELL E1702
[08:16] <cooldude007> i have a DELL E1705
[08:17] <Tixer> it installs a bunch of programs that are common
[08:17] <Tixer> pretty crappy grammer right there...
[08:17] <cooldude007> anything special if i install on that?
[08:17] <tonyyarusso> Can you set up a second address in ShipIt, or do you have to pretend you're changing it permanently?
[08:17] <Tixer> like what?
[08:17] <cooldude007> i don't know
[08:17] <Tixer> I actually installed ubuntu today...
[08:17] <cooldude007> wow
[08:17] <fyrestrtr> cooldude007: the desktop cd is a live cd with the standard gnome desktop environment, openoffice, firefox, evolution, some media players and games. You will have a full-featured desktop system after you install from it. The DVD has all that, plus extra packages that you can install later on (so you don't download them from the net).
[08:17] <Tixer> its faster, easier for noobs
[08:17] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell cooldude007 about laptop
[08:18] <Madpilot> cooldude007, check the PM you just got from the bot; those URLs will give you good info on Ubuntu on laptops
[08:18] <Tixer> I'm running in VMWare
[08:18] <shadeofgrey> what do i need to install to view mp4 files?
[08:18] <cooldude007> thanks MP
[08:18] <Tixer> codecs
[08:18] <twa1296> i'm using i686, can i remove linux-restricted-modules for 386?
[08:18] <cooldude007> videolan shadow player
[08:18] <cooldude007> oops
[08:18] <Tixer> ubotu, key combinations?
[08:18] <ubotu> I know nothing about key combinations? - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[08:18] <cooldude007> shadow: videolan player
[08:18] <Tixer> okkkkk....
[08:19] <Tixer> anyone got anything?
[08:19] <cooldude007> or VLC
[08:19] <Tixer> vlc, MPlayer
[08:19] <Tixer> kaffiene
[08:19] <Madpilot> shadeofgrey, have you read the RestrictedFormats page?
[08:19] <Tixer> anyways, ubuntu's really easy
[08:19] <shadeofgrey> yes many times
[08:19] <cooldude007> is there a way to ask them to ship a DVD instead of CDs? i don't want to fill teh PIPES
[08:19] <Madpilot> Tixer, if you're in Gnome, try System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts
[08:19] <Tixer> I'm amazing on XP, but I got bored with it
[08:19] <Tixer> KDE
[08:20] <Madpilot> cooldude007, no, but you can buy the DVD from Amazon
[08:20] <DanaG> Is there a way to undo doing sudo passwd ?
[08:20] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell DanaG about root
[08:20] <cooldude007> how much does it cost?
[08:20] <cooldude007> ahh... sorry... i am in 3rd world...
[08:20] <Tixer> order free cds from shipit
[08:20] <fyrestrtr> cooldude007: pick up the august issue of linux user -- it has the ubuntu dvd along with alot of helpful linux articles.
[08:20] <cooldude007> don't worry abt amazon
[08:20] <fyrestrtr> cooldude007: its free :)
[08:20] <anderbubble> is there anyone who could help me troubleshoot 3d acelleration with an ati radeon 9600xt? I've run through the wiki and other resources, but can't get it to work.
[08:20] <fyrestrtr> (the shipit, not the magazine)
[08:21] <cooldude007> i know CDs are freee
[08:21] <Madpilot> cooldude007, ShipIt is free, Amazon DVD isn't
[08:21] <cooldude007> but DVDs
[08:21] <Tixer> any key combos for KDE?
[08:21] <Tixer> forget the dvd
[08:21] <cooldude007> what's the key combo thingie u guys are talking abt?
[08:21] <cooldude007> i will download using torrent i guess
[08:21] <Tixer> like, in windows, Windows key and R = Run'
[08:21] <csd> hi *
[08:21] <khughes> Hello everyone
[08:21] <cooldude007> i see
[08:22] <Tixer> Windows key and D = Show desktop
[08:22] <scast> fyrestrtr: thanks, it works perfect.
[08:22] <Tixer> I'm running both right now
[08:22] <cooldude007> for a n00b, how difficult is it to make a media center using ubuntu?
[08:22] <csd> am looking for the latest version of kscope in dapper. Edgy is an option, but am not yet ready for messing with it.
[08:22] <Tixer> myth tv = wins
[08:22] <jn> anyone sucessfully install xgl that has an ati card?
[08:22] <cooldude007> i have windoew media center
[08:22] <cooldude007> works fine
[08:22] <jn> what docs/guide did you use
[08:22] <csd> any one using kscope latest (1.3.4) with dapper ?
[08:22] <DanaG> Thanks.
[08:22] <Tixer> just worry about remotes
[08:22] <cooldude007> but would like to get rid of it, even though it's paid
[08:22] <Tixer> we all hate windows
[08:23] <Tixer> join the club
[08:23] <fyrestrtr> cooldude007: why? if it works, and you paid for it, keep it.
[08:23] <DanaG> I don't hate Windows.
[08:23] <cooldude007> i love windows... if they are on a linux desktop... lol
[08:23] <Tixer> I got bored with XP, so I decided to learn something new
[08:23] <DanaG> That's lowercase windows.
[08:23] <fyrestrtr> I don't hate windows. If computers are in *any* way, part of your job -- you need to learn to respect Windows in its own right, and Linux in its own right.
[08:23] <cooldude007> windows sometimes (many actually) test my patience
[08:23] <DanaG> Tixer: same for me.
[08:23] <Tixer> and I need to learn linux, since I convinced friends to switch
[08:24] <DanaG> There's nothing wrong with Windows, as long as you do TWO things:
[08:24] <Tixer> so when they want tech support....
[08:24] <ke-> lol
[08:24] <khughes> I love windows too. If I couldnt fix windows all the time, I wouldnt have a job. Windows just helped me buy a new house.
[08:24] <cooldude007> the problem with windows... is all abt the shell
[08:24] <DanaG> 1. Use an anti-virus!  AVG Free FTW, even if it's not necessarily the best.
[08:24] <cooldude007> explorer takes me hostage
[08:24] <DanaG> 2: DON'T USE IE!
[08:24] <Tixer> AV's are for n00bs
[08:24] <nalpha> anyone know what's program that similiar to fedora ds that can be used in ubuntu??
[08:24] <smee56> can some one help when i load it comes up with a watch
[08:24] <Tixer> just go to the registry
[08:24] <cooldude007> i tried other shells.. but they are crappiest softwares i have ever seen
[08:25] <Tixer> its how I nuke almost everything
[08:25] <Tixer> rootkits, spyware....
[08:25] <Guitarhero11> I cant get sound in Wolfenstein to work, its not giving me errors but its not producing sound either
[08:25] <Gidget> I've recently installed ubuntu.  When viewing text docs, man pages, etc. sometimes the fonts are "squished"?  Am I maybe missing fonts and need to install some?  If so, how / where do I read how to do that?  Thank you for any help.
[08:25] <fyrestrtr> nalioth: fedora ds? ds = directory server?
[08:25] <Madpilot> Folks, chat about Windows can move to #ubuntu-offtopic, please
[08:25] <Tixer> just write protect the reg
[08:25] <Psykus> just installed zsnes from the repositories, but i'm getting bad sound distortion in games, I checked the wiki, and it just had something about killing esd, which didn't make a difference, and also this version of zsnes seems to play fine with esd
[08:25] <Tixer> so, anyone have KDE key combo's?
[08:25] <nalpha> ya
[08:26] <Madpilot> Tixer, have you tried #kubuntu
[08:26] <nalpha> anyone know what's program that similiar to fedora directoryserver that can be used in ubuntu??
[08:26] <Madpilot> ?
[08:26] <fyrestrtr> nalioth: its open source now, you can install it on ubuntu.
[08:26] <Tixer> good idea
[08:26] <khughes> how do I search for other channels on this server through xchat?
[08:26] <Madpilot> fyrestrtr, watch the tab completion :)
[08:26] <Madpilot> khughes, real XChat or xchat-gnome
[08:26] <Guitarhero11> I cant get sound in Wolfenstein to work, its not giving me errors but its not producing sound either
[08:26] <fyrestrtr> ah yeh -- stupid xchat.
[08:27] <khughes> i guess xchat-gnome??? maybe??
[08:27] <fyrestrtr> Guitarhero11: do you have anything else that's playing sounds?
[08:27] <cooldude007> okay u guys
[08:27] <cooldude007> thanks for all the fish
[08:27] <cooldude007> see ya later
[08:27] <Guitarhero11> not while im running wolfenstein
[08:27] <fyrestrtr> khughes: its window > channel list in xchat
[08:27] <Guitarhero11> ive tried typing killall esd before launching
[08:27] <Guitarhero11> doesnt do it
[08:28] <khughes> thanks
[08:28] <Madpilot> khughes, the interfaces for the two are quite different - in real XChat, channel list is at Window->Channel List. I've no idea where that abortion known as xchat-gnome hides it
[08:28] <Psykus> ugh, xchat-gnome, I dislike that program
[08:28] <Tixer> xchat-gnome is pro-choice??? :P
[08:28] <fyrestrtr> Linux is pro-choice :)
[08:28] <Hoxzer> :/
[08:28] <Guitarhero11> so any idea why im not getting sound?
[08:30] <jn> i want to install xgl and im getting no help in #xgl
[08:30] <jn> anyone install it successfully?
[08:30] <Guitarhero11> search the forums for automatic installation of xgl/compiz
[08:30] <csd> i like xfce-terminal compared to gnome-terminal... its crisp :)
[08:30] <Guitarhero11> there was a script that did it for me, i ended up not liking it
[08:31] <fyrestrtr> jn: have you tried #ubuntu-xgl?
[08:32] <Guitarhero11> still need help with wolfenstein sound
[08:32] <jn> nah
[08:32] <jn> i need to get direct rendering on first and formost
[08:34] <Psykus> how do I kill a process that won't go away using "killall 'processname' "?
[08:34] <Guitarhero11> type it in the terminal
[08:34] <Psykus> zsnes won't go away :>
[08:34] <skyerce> #ubuntu-cn
[08:34] <fyrestrtr> Psykus: sudo kill -9 pid (pid = process id)
[08:34] <skyerce> join #ubuntu-cn
[08:34] <Guitarhero11> usually when you hit x it brings up a box letting you force quit it
[08:35] <Psykus> Guitarhero11, nope...not with zsnes at least
[08:35] <Psykus> fyrestrtr, thanks
[08:35] <fyrestrtr> PsyberOne: tried xkill?
[08:35] <Psykus> that did it
[08:35] <Guitarhero11> one last try for wolfenstein sound help.........
[08:37] <Guitarhero11> guess not, oh well
[08:38] <abhinay> how can i send file (large files) to my friend (both are using cable net & using different net service) ?
[08:39] <mrPolite> abhinay large is relative, how large?
[08:39] <fyrestrtr> ftp, scp, bittorrent, etc. many ways
[08:39] <Psykus> abhinay, try using yousendit.com
[08:39] <Akatemik> Ok, I'm having a weird problem with kernels... Ubuntu installer and Debian stock kernels are unable to mount my scsis, but Knoppix and Debian testing installer do just fine.
[08:40] <Akatemik> I thought abaut asking here before sending a bugreport, in case I'm doing something wrong (since it seems that some kernels work just fine)
[08:41] <fyrestrtr> the ones that work, and the ones that don't -- what are the differences? version number? modules loaded, etc? You might just be missing a module.
[08:41] <Vratha> hi
[08:41] <Akatemik> fyrestrtr: Hard to say... The Etch installer uses 2.6.15-1-486, Knoppix uses 2.6.17
[08:42] <Vratha> any of you have any idea why, after installing ubuntu and wiping out my debian install, my "emu10k1" loads under /dev/dsp1 instead of /dev/dsp0?
[08:42] <Vratha> it means my sound doesn't work at all
[08:42] <Akatemik> fyrestrtr: I managed to get Debian installed just fine, but am unable to use it with either 2.6.16 or .17 that comes in debian. Ubuntu installer seemed to use 2.6.15 too, but fails
[08:43] <Vratha> i don't know how to force emu10k1 to run on /dev/dsp0... in fact, udev doesn't create a /dev/dsp0 for me.....
[08:43] <Akatemik> fyrestrtr: The problem doesn't seem to be a missing driver, since all ther versions identify the scsi controller and the connected harddrives
[08:43] <SoulPropagation> How do you configure mic volume?
[08:43] <skyerce> i dont know how to use fcitx(chinese input tools).it cant work.what should i do?
[08:43] <fyrestrtr> Akatemik: find out what module your scsi needs from the kernels that work, and enable that in the ones you want.
[08:43] <Vratha> SoulPropagation: via /dev/mixer
[08:44] <Akatemik> fyrestrtr: What makes you think it is a missing module?
[08:45] <Akatemik> How could it recognize the harddrives, if it can't use the controller at all?
[08:45] <Akatemik> But then again, I did try it. I copied the kernel config from the Knoppix cd and compiled a custom kernel withit, no good
[08:46] <SoulPropagation> Vratha: nvm, found it
[08:46] <fyrestrtr> Akatemik: because that's the only thing that could be.
[08:48] <CheetahMk2> What is the command to launch the thing I am accustomed to as the start menu in GNOME?
[08:48] <CheetahMk2> I can get a standard dark-coffee colored desktop when I launch a GNOMe session, but nothing more
[08:48] <CheetahMk2> and I can run apps like xterm, but I have to launch them from the terminal in another console first.
[08:48] <Akatemik> fyrestrtr: Then how does the older debian kernel work?
[08:49] <Akatemik> And why the kernel made with the same config as a working kernel doesn't?
[08:49] <SoulPropagation> Okay, so I'm trying to set up skype, and it doesn't play or capture any sounds
[08:49] <SoulPropagation> What should I do?
[08:49] <Akatemik> There are bugs in the kernel drivers too, or they just bitrot when interfaces around them get updated
[08:49] <sishgupta> akatemik have you tried reconfiguring x?
[08:49] <Akatemik> sishgupta: Eh, what?

[09:05] <some_dude> hey, why are there so many broken packages ?
[09:05] <some_dude> I'm trying to install egroupware, and the package libt1-5 is not installable
[09:06] <SoulPropagation> farous: I can hear mic noise through my headphones, but no sound
[09:06] <chris449> can i ask edubuntu questions here? there don't seem to be ppl in the edubuntu channel
[09:06] <citizen> sure
[09:07] <farous> SoulPropagation: have no idea if the mic do not work with als try
[09:07] <farous> oss
[09:09] <SoulPropagation> farous: how
[09:10] <farous> there was an application under system pref for that
[09:10] <chris449> someone's helping me in edubuntu
[09:10] <farous> to select your sound sys let me check the appl name
[09:10] <farous> !ask
[09:10] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:10] <citizen> Soul: go to system > preferences > multimedia systems selector
[09:10] <SoulPropagation> I don't see it.
[09:10] <citizen> ok
[09:10] <chris449> lol
[09:10] <farous> citizen: it was hidden in dapper
[09:10] <citizen> go to applications > accessories > menu editor
[09:10] <farous> so i guess you still use breezy :)
[09:11] <citizen> no, i enabled it with a la carte
[09:11] <citizen> soul: in th menu editor, go to system > preferences
[09:11] <Emon> a la carte
[09:11] <citizen> scroll down to the M's
[09:11] <Emon> didn't that used to be called SMEG?
[09:11] <SoulPropagation> Haha
[09:11] <Emon> that was a terrible program name
[09:12] <SoulPropagation> Don't worry, I'm not that dumb
[09:12] <Flannel> Emon: why?  It's rather descriptive
[09:12] <Emon> smeg?
[09:12] <Emon> It doesn't describe anything but sound like smegma
[09:12] <Madpilot> yes, alacarte is the app formerly know as SMEG (Simple Menu Editor for Gnome...)
[09:12] <Flannel> Emon: oh, thought you were talking about a la carte ;)
[09:12] <Emon> infact that's the exact reason it got changed
[09:12] <some_dude> apache won't install for me
[09:13] <Flannel> some_dude: what error is apt giving you?
[09:13] <Madpilot> some_dude, have you read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP?
[09:13] <Emon> I'm still astonished that gnome doesn't come with a built in menu editor
[09:13] <Madpilot> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - no ? on the end...
[09:13] <Emon> but that's me
[09:13] <Emon> anyway
[09:14] <Emon> I have some files with 775 permissions, owner is www, group is www. users in the www group cannot edit these files. what's up with that
[09:14] <Emon> I've like triple checked all the permissions and settings. it does not work
[09:14] <ZomZom> hello
[09:14] <Emon> greets
[09:15] <ZomZom> how i can resize swap ?
[09:15] <Emon> I'm not sure, but couldn't you just add more swap
[09:15] <Emon> Not an elegant solution I guess
[09:15] <ZomZom> i want to take from home partion 300 mb and add it to swap partion
[09:15] <Emon> oh
[09:15] <godtvisken> Does anyone know a good email client that is comparable to Gmail's web interface?
[09:15] <Emon> resize the home partition, delete the swap partition and create a new swap partition from the new space
[09:16] <SoulPropagation> k, I set input dev to OSS and it still doesn't do it
[09:16] <SoulPropagation> godtvisken: ...Gmail? :p
[09:16] <farous> godtvisken: evolution
[09:16] <Emon> godtvisken, I don't think such a thing exists...but Evolution and Thunderbird are good e-mail clients
[09:16] <ZomZom> Emon, ok how i can resize home partion
[09:16] <godtvisken> Emon, farous: ok, thanks
[09:16] <Emon> ZomZom, I dunno :P
[09:16] <Emon> godtvisken, it won't be comparable in the sense that it is like Gmail (mostly) but it is in the sense that it's a very good client
[09:16] <Flannel> ZomZom: you'll need a partition editor, like GParted.
[09:17] <Emon> let's hope you didn't use reiserfs or something
[09:17] <Emon> >_>
[09:17] <Emon> actually gparted probably supports that
[09:17] <ZomZom> Flannel, ok thx am installing it :D
[09:21] <SoulPropagation> Can anyone help me get my mic working?

[09:22] <Gumby> does anyone know if the hibernate option in ubuntu suspends to disk or ram?
[09:22] <some_dude> I'm going lamp, samba, and email
[09:23] <SoulPropagation> Gumby: hibernate means suspend to disk
[09:23] <RichEd> Gumby: RAM dies when power is removed
[09:23] <Gumby> SoulPropagation: then what does suspend mean?
[09:23] <Gumby> lol
[09:23] <SoulPropagation> Gumby: to ram
[09:23] <IRCMonkeyX> hi; when i open my computer, it always configures network in black screen, before login screen, is it normal ??
[09:24] <Gumby> RichEd: yes, I know.  but some distros use hibernate and suspend interchangably so its hard to know which is what sometimes

[09:34] <IRCMonkeyX> thanx
[09:34] <Brkopac> MonkeyX -> I had that probelm when I messed up X, I couldn't recover from it, i ended up reinstalling Ubuntu
[09:35] <ompaul> IRCMonkeyX, yes, remoember its history, mostly it expects to be a server, so it serves and you don't have log in to make stuff happen and normally you want the network to be there on a web server before you log into it

[09:36] <ompaul> CheetahMk2, actually, if you asked in #xubuntu you would find that that can be considered normal for xubuntu :)
[09:36] <IRCMonkeyX> ompaul: so can we say that  behaving like  is normal ?
[09:36] <ompaul> IRCMonkeyX, I hope so :)
[09:37] <IRCMonkeyX> :)
[09:37] <CheetahMk2> Darn... well, for some reason all windows are stuck in the upper left hand corner and have no Maximize/minimize/close controls

[09:37] <CheetahMk2>  ompaul   would you know a fix?
[09:37] <Hobbsee> hi ompaul
[09:37] <Gumby> how does one suspend to ram in ubuntu.  the only option I get is hibernate which is aparantly to disk and not ram. anyone have any ideas?
[09:38] <ompaul> CheetahMk2, that is a question for the channel  #xubuntu  -- please don't use colours on someones name - I have them turned off it just looks silly
[09:38] <citizen> Gumby, what kind of computer are you running this on? you may not have acpi support under linux
[09:38] <CheetahMk2> ompaul, that doesn't have color...? I changed it to use a char only long ago.
[09:39] <Gumby> citizen: I have a fairly recent compaq which suspends to ram fine in a few other distros.
[09:39] <Awal> where is the ssh log?
[09:39] <CheetahMk2> I'll fix it if it seems off.
[09:39] <ompaul> CheetahMk2, a little utf8 box with  0088 in it, my name then the same kind of box and 009B text
[09:39] <CheetahMk2> ah, that would be
[09:39] <CheetahMk2> mIrc color code trip.
[09:39] <CheetahMk2> I removed the color, but it uses the trip anyway it seems.
[09:40] <mrPolite> well, lappy battery dying too lazy to get the cord, so i guess its time to shut it down
[09:40] <Gumby> mrPolite: try hibernate/suspend to disk.  hehe

[09:41] <some_dude> kubuntu is really pretty, if I download and install the server, and then add kde, will it be that pretty ?
[09:42] <citizen> Gumby: here is a wiki HOWTO https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SuspendHowto
[09:42] <MatthewV> some_dude, yes!
[09:42] <Gumby> citizen: thx.  reading both now
[09:42] <MatthewV> some_dude, from the server, just run sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[09:43] <some_dude> I've already got a base install of kubuntu, is there any reason I should use the server CD instead of the one I'm using ?
[09:43] <CheetahMk2> It's smaller, I guess
[09:43] <CheetahMk2> I've tried finding a way to make the desktop install smaller, to no avail
[09:43] <fyrestrtr> some_dude: no, no reason.

[09:46] <johnny_> now i have thes orange icons that look really stupid
[09:46] <citizen> ok, ill search, back soon
[09:46] <fyrestrtr> Yuuki: lspci -vv or lshw
[09:46] <johnny_> and nautilus doesnt show the side pane
[09:47] <johnny_> and the option isnt in veiw
[09:47] <llama32> _FlUiD_: if you mean dialup, run pppconfig as root... it's fairly self explanatory, but google/ask here if you don't understand something...
[09:47] <llama32> _FlUiD_: there may also be GUI tools - KPPP for KDE, i'm sure there's one for gnome...
[09:47] <fyrestrtr> johnny_: you can just reinstall the desktop (sudo aptitude reinstall ubuntu-desktop) or if you want to install just the icons, install those from synaptic (search for human-azul)
[09:47] <Yuuki> fyrestrtr thank you!
[09:48] <_FlUiD_> llama32: tried that but i think my modem wasn't recognized yet by ubuntu
[09:48] <CheetahMk2> fyrestrtr, would you happen to know how to do a minimal install of ubuntu from the desktop CD
[09:48] <fyrestrtr> CheetahMk2: from the desktop cd its not possible, from the alternate cd it is.
[09:48] <johnny_> alright thanks fyrestrtr
[09:48] <johnny_> aptitude and now apt-get
[09:48] <CheetahMk2> Aha, I didn't know that. Thanks.
[09:49] <johnny_> what about the nautilus side pane fyrestrtr
[09:49] <IRCMonkeyX> fyrestrtr: when i use gedit, how will i compile it ? for example now i have hello.c
[09:49] <johnny_> do you know how i get that back?
[09:49] <fyrestrtr> nalpha: the directory server is just ldap. You can install openldap and you'll have the same thing, just install a ldap browser (like phpldapadmin or something)
[09:49] <llama32> _FlUiD_: try googling "linux <insert modem or laptop or motherboard model here>" or something

[09:50] <RichEd> hello ... quickie ... how do i kill a file explorer window that is not responding (network authentication hung in background i think)
[09:50] <fyrestrtr> tj_: when you install wine (from repos) -- and you double click on a exe, it will automatically launch with ine.
[09:50] <johnny_> doesnt do anything fyrestrtr
[09:51] <fyrestrtr> RichEd: alt+F2, type xkill and hit enter -- when your cursor changes, left click once on the offending window.

[09:51] <DanaG> Okay, for my framebuffer, I need 720x450, 1024x640, 1152x720, 1280x800, or 1440x900.
[09:51] <CheetahMk2> heh... bug ith the Ubuntu Cd... if you change the system time forward, the screensaver kicks in!
[09:51] <fyrestrtr> johnny_: click view > side panel
[09:51] <tj_> but once in the wine directory, for some reason .exe's dont open with wine by default
[09:51] <DanaG> Also, I can't get surround sound working in xine.
[09:51] <MatthewV> RichEd, i have added a applet to the panel that kills other apps, rightclick on panel, and choose add to panel, and choose Kill Application... it does the same thing as xkill :)
[09:51] <johnny_> the option isnt there fyrestrtr

[09:52] <snoops> thanks CheetahMk2
[09:52] <blade2> I'm trying to set up a wireless card with the adm8211 driver. I tried setting the ESSID with iwconfig, then doing ifup eth0.

So I'm trying to manually set the access point with iwconfig eth0 ap XX:XX:etc. But the AP listed by iwconfig stays at 00:00:00:00:00:00. Even iwconfig eth0 ap off/auto doesn't change it.
[09:52] <CheetahMk2> I am not 100% sure though.... all I know it is the chkdsk equivalent in Linux
[09:52] <fyrestrtr> DanaG: I think for those resolutions, you need to compile vesafb-tng for your kernel.

[09:52] <twa1296> how do i check whether module dependencies are in order?

[09:53] <DanaG> Even with TNG, I still don't get those resolutions.
[09:53] <IRCMonkeyX> fyrestrtr: thanx let me try to do it...
[09:53] <fyrestrtr> twa1296: open up synaptic, see if it reports any broken packages ... that's one way.
[09:53] <twa1296> tks
[09:54] <fyrestrtr> DanaG: sorry, I don't have much experience with widescreen resolutions and fb console :(
[09:54] <RichEd> fyrestrtr: thanks sorted ...
[09:54] <fyrestrtr> DanaG: its possible though, I've seen it before when I was googling around.

[09:55] <MistaED> hey with modprobing stuff, what happens when you have two different cards which use the same chipset? i have two bt878-based tv tuner cards in my machine (one dvb digital card, one analog card), and the digital one detects perfectly the card & tuner but the analog cannot be detected unless you force options to it
[09:55] <twa1296> fyrestrtr, thing is, i'm getting an error whilst booting, "preparing restricted drivers" fails and my bootlog shows the following:* Preparing restricted drivers...       ^[[128G mkdir: cannot create directory `/lib/modules/2.6.15-26-686/volatile': Read-only file system - this after installing and then removing some dri modules - any ideas?
[09:56] <fyrestrtr> snoops: to scan the disk, the filesystem must be mounted in read-only mode. You can do that if the filesystem is not currently in use (ie, its not holding something like /home / etc). If not, use tune2fs to schedule a scan at the next bootup (man tune2fs)
[09:56] <MistaED> in my case, when i force options to the bttv module, it assigns it to the digital card (bttv0) and locks up the kernel, how do i just pass the options to bttv1 only?
[09:56] <Brkopac> I seem to be having a problem using a variable, I'm trying to do a 'cp -r $windows_path' but its not copying the entire string in there, its cutting it at a space
[09:56] <CheetahMk2> jes: I had to fix my display with manually editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf - the 'Display Manager' thing wouldn't let me change it
[09:56] <MatthewV> jes, have a talk to ubotu , he's got plenty of links.... otherwise just ask question in here
[09:57] <jes> i will.
[09:57] <CheetahMk2> !xconf
[09:57] <ubotu> I know nothing about xconf - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[09:57] <CheetahMk2> !xconfig
[09:57] <ubotu> xconfig is To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[09:57] <CheetahMk2> ^^ That worked too
[09:57] <fyrestrtr> twa1296: sorry, no clue about that.
[09:57] <twa1296> fyrestrtr, rgr
[09:58] <mvrick> what info is there in xorg.conf file
[09:58] <mvrick> ?
[09:58] <fyrestrtr> twa1296: for a quick fix, you can blacklist the offending module.
[09:58] <bruenig> all things concerned with x
[09:58] <CheetahMk2> Resolution for monitor, refresh rates, color depth, etc

[09:58] <bruenig> mouse
[09:59] <mvrick> i am new to linux.. what is a graphical server plz?
[10:00] <CheetahMk2> mvrick: "X" is basically a intermediary between applications and the screen
[10:00] <mvrick> u mean all the device related information brueing?
[10:00] <fyrestrtr> xorg.conf contains the following: xserver settings, keyboard, other input device settings (mouse, tablet, etc.) display settings (video card), monitor, modules, fonts, screen layout, resolutions and color depths, multi-monitor setups. Basically, all the information to setup a graphical interface.
[10:00] <MatthewV> mvrick, sry, i should have been clearer, its the 'program' that handles all graphical output
[10:00] <CheetahMk2> it manages all the windows, and goes up to the driver hardware I think
[10:00] <watson540> mvrick:: umm, if you're new to linux, then you need to make google your friend
[10:00] <|thunder> x-server
[10:01] <fyrestrtr> mvrick: in Linux, the graphical interface is controlled by a server, and all the programs are clients running on top of this server. That server is called the 'X Server' (what you call the graphical server).
[10:01] <watson540> this channel is for support questions, not obvious ones such as 'how do i wipe my butt' or 'how do i turn my computer oiin'
[10:01] <twa1296> fyrestrtr, how do i do that? in /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common?
[10:01] <fyrestrtr> !blacklist
[10:01] <ubotu> To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add "blacklist modulename" to the end of that list
[10:02] <twa1296> fyrestarter, thanks
[10:03] <fyrestrtr> you know, it used to be that the run command applet showed a text box, not an icon. Is there a way to get that behavior back?
[10:03] <|thunder> fyrestrtr, try alt-F2

[10:10] <ompaul> trippen, if you don't save it you have to find it again to get going again that is all
[10:10] <penitibiru> hwehehe...knalan dong...
[10:11] <ompaul> penitibiru, please speak english in this channel thanks
[10:11] <trippen> is there a torrent program for linux that works like the ones for windows
[10:11] <bruenig> trippen, if you want an autoresume torrent program, Azureus will do
[10:11] <ompaul> trippen, it does, you are not reading what I am saying
[10:11] <bruenig> Azureus also runs on java and is a resource hog
[10:12] <bruenig> trippen, I personally use utorrent under wine
[10:12] <ompaul> trippen, if you do not save the torrent file - if it fails you have to find it again - that is all
[10:12] <trippen> really.. that sounds like a winner to me.. i love utorrent
[10:12] <trippen> can i get wine from the synaptic package thing
[10:12] <twa1296> i installed dri modules, then removed them again, since then i have the following error message in my bootlog:  * Preparing restricted drivers...       ^[[128G mkdir: cannot create directory `/lib/modules/2.6.15-26-686/volatile': Read-only file system - any ideas?
[10:13] <bruenig> trippen, yeah, you can get wine from synaptic
[10:13] <trippen> sweet thank you.. this channle has been very helpful to me thank you all
[10:14] <elias> how to move a window I cannot see since it is off screen?
[10:15] <bruenig> elias, you could right click it on the task bar and hit move and then just move your mouse where you want it to go
[10:15] <bruenig> or I mean windows selector, not to be confused with task bar
[10:15] <bruenig> which doesn't exist
[10:16] <elias> my mplayer windows are placed out ot screen. does anybody know a reason for that? (xgl?)
[10:16] <watson540> bruenig:: funny. i tried utorrent under wine, and thee dang app kept telling me my ports were blockd! ...and they weren't.
[10:17] <ADminS> how i can check sawp size?
[10:17] <bruenig> watson540, mine sometimes has problems connected to dht, but a restart fixes that
[10:17] <therix> hello, could someone help me with setting up mac address?
[10:17] <highvoltage> mac addresses isn't something you should really change
[10:17] <therix> I'm trying to edit /etc/iftab but it doesnt work
[10:18] <therix> well I dont have other choice
[10:18] <bruenig> watson540, every once in a while when I do restart my computer, it will tell me my port is blocked, all you have to do is go into the options>speed guide menu and change the port and then check it to see it if it open and then click use selected settings. That is usually a once in a month chore
[10:18] <ADminS> !sawp
[10:18] <ubotu> I know nothing about sawp - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[10:18] <elias> the window is so off screen it does not even show in the task bar!
[10:18] <watson540> well, it was a private tracker i was using, so ii dunno, i just know i tried the same torrent using rtorrent and it worked fine, anyways, rtorrent may be fugly (needs to be pretty like htop :)) but it can be run in screen and that, my friend is worth a thousand azureus' :
[10:18] <bruenig> elias, perhaps the window doesn't exist
[10:19] <elias> bruenig: it does I can get to it via shift+alt+tab and when I resize the video.
[10:19] <elias> and I can fullscreen the vid.
[10:19] <therix> i want to change the mac addr on another pc, because my inet provider identifies it via mac address
[10:19] <bruenig> elias, well it might be on another workspace?
[10:20] <bruenig> xgl is still unstable, I would chalk it up to that
[10:20] <watson540> therix:: huh? i thought the dsl/cable modem was the one with the MAC addy, and i know you cant change those.
[10:20] <CheetahMk2> !aiglx > CheetahMk2
[10:20] <ubotu> I know nothing about aiglx  - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[10:20] <elias> bruenig: how can I make mplayer place it on my workspace?
[10:20] <DBO> CheetahMk2, Xgl and AIGLX are handled in #ubuntu-xgl
[10:21] <CheetahMk2> I didn't know there was a dedicated channel, thanks.
[10:21] <jpjacobs> therix if I'm not mistaken there is a program macchanger... dunno if that does the trick
[10:21] <watson540> I dunno about all thse problems people have with xgl, i followed the ubuntu howto like...months ago and i never have problems with it, install was seamless, and every u[pgrade so far has nopt broken my xgl :)
[10:21] <bruenig> elias, just go to the system monitor and kill the process and start it over
[10:21] <avis> same experience here watson540
[10:22] <Sp4rKy> hey
[10:22] <Sp4rKy> does anyone use speedtouch 330 USB with AOL over ubuntu  please ?
[10:22] <avis> my downfall was not going by the guide in the past and using reading the thread on ubuntuforums.org i tried once more with the official guide and its been smooth sailing.
[10:23] <watson540> avis:: yeah, i think its when thse people go jacking around with their settings is when they mess them up, either through gset-compiz or that newer setup tool that depracated gset (forget the name but its on my box)
[10:23] <bruenig> Sp4rKy, aol.... why would you do that to yourself
[10:24] <watson540> i know whenever i mess with settings i do one thing at a time so i know what to chamnge back when artifaxcts start appearing or other stuff messes up
[10:24] <Sp4rKy> bruenig: it's not for myself :|
[10:27] <nikin> good morning

[10:39] <bruenig> flanque, or you could do sudo nano xorg.conf
[10:39] <Shinzetsu> (when you boot up and grub comes press Esc and you can choose between Ubuntu, Recovery Mode and RAM test)
[10:39] <Shinzetsu> yes, just do sudo -i
[10:39] <bruenig> flanque, there is no root
[10:39] <bruenig> use sudo and your username

[11:08] <nalpha> so?
[11:09] <arag0rn> i use <some-num> as 319
[11:09] <[flanque] > hrm, in run-time?

[11:09] <chris1112> yes, but not the way i wanted to use it
[11:09] <[flanque] > no, can it be changed after login?
[11:09] <miguelsr> hey some one?
[11:09] <arag0rn> sorry dont know any of doing that

[11:10] <mneptok> [flanque] : what are you trying to do?
[11:10] <YoussefAssad> Hi folks. Does anyone know if there's updated gnome evolution packages fresher than 2.6.1 which comes with dapper?
[11:11] <[flanque] > mneptok, well it just installed ubuntu lamp, now the display is "longer" than the actual screen, as in its the wrong resolution. this happened during install but got around it by changing to 800x600x32 mode
[11:11] <[flanque] > there was a vga option during install
[11:12] <[flanque] > F4
[11:12] <mneptok> [flanque] : can you change monitor geometry to compensate?
[11:12] <DanaG> Oh, if I want to remove the current ALSA and add a new one, what can I do?
[11:12] <[flanque] > no
[11:12] <[flanque] > its beyond the monitor display range
[11:13] <mneptok> it's our way of telling you to run servers headless :)
[11:13] <miguelsr> some help!!
[11:13] <mneptok> [flanque] : i assume xorg is not installed?
[11:13] <jingcleovil> Hi, I am new in ubuntu. Is there an installation instruction which has an image? BTW, I use Ubuntu 6 LTS
[11:14] <[flanque] > well the default install didnt do it
[11:14] <mneptok> [flanque] : yeah, you don't want X on a server. pointless.
[11:14] <DanaG> anyone? ...
[11:14] <[flanque] > yep
[11:14] <[flanque] > its been 18 mnths since i've done linux in my job, never come across this either in the 2+ years i was too.

[11:15] <nalpha> anyone?
[11:15] <[flanque] > how to change console res?
[11:15] <DanaG> I want to remove the current ALSA version and replace it with a new one from alsa-project.org.
[11:15] <fyrestrtr> anyone what?
[11:15] <DanaG> Is there anything special I have to do>
[11:15] <DanaG> ?
[11:16] <nalpha> nothing just test the ubotu ^^
[11:16] <mneptok> [flanque] : [flanque]  tried appending vga=normal to the boot?
[11:16] <[flanque] > let me try
[11:16] <fyrestrtr> DanaG: remove alsa-base, alsa-utils -- and then install the one you want.
[11:16] <[flanque] > i think that was the problem tho.. had to change from "normal" to "800x600x32"
[11:16] <fyrestrtr> [flanque] : that is not a valid mode number
[11:16] <fyrestrtr> [flanque] : change it to vga=ask
[11:16] <highvoltage> DanaG: just out of personal interest, what is the problem you have with current alsa?
[11:17] <[flanque] > not litterally that in quotes
[11:17] <DanaG> Then how do I prevent Synaptic (or Apt) from removing dependencies?
[11:17] <miguelsr> how do i do to burn a avi movie to a cd an see on the dvd player?
[11:17] <DanaG> I can't get multichannel audio from my Audigy 2 ZS Notebook.
[11:17] <fyrestrtr> miguelsr: use k3b
[11:17] <miguelsr> fyrestrtr: yes but i put data cd and add the movie??
[11:18] <[flanque] > hmm
[11:18] <[flanque] > seems better so far
[11:18] <fyrestrtr> miguelsr: put a blank cd, then start k3b, then start a new video dvd project.
[11:18] <fyrestrtr> *blank dvd
[11:18] <mneptok> [flanque] : this is why they pay me the *big* bucks! *snort* ;)

[11:20] <rixt1> There was a power outage (for a few seconds) now Ubuntu will not boot. It gets to the "Uncompressing Linux" stage, then locks up. I am currently logged into the live CD on the computer. waht can I do?
[11:20] <DanaG> search the page for notebook
[11:20] <miguelsr> fyrestrtr: mmm i only have new data dvd proyect!
[11:20] <miguelsr> !k3
[11:20] <ubotu> I know nothing about k3 - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[11:20] <miguelsr> !k3b
[11:20] <ubotu> k3b is a feature-rich and user-friendly burning application for KDE (and, as all KDE applications, works fine on GNOME). For a guide, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/K3BHowto
[11:20] <[flanque] > yeah vga=0 did it
[11:20] <[flanque] > 80x25
[11:20] <[flanque] > was soemthing else i guess
[11:20] <DanaG> Okay, when should Ubuntu include ALSA 1.0.11?
[11:21] <DanaG> !alsa
[11:21] <ubotu> If sound is not working, first try system -> prefrences -> multimedia system selector change it to alsa. If you still have problems then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems
[11:21] <mneptok> [flanque] : my PayPal address is ... ;)
[11:21] <[flanque] > hmm
[11:22] <[flanque] > so there's no root level access?
[11:22] <mneptok> of course there is
[11:22] <mneptok> sudo
[11:22] <[flanque] > no
[11:22] <miguelsr> fyrestrtr: how do i do to update my k3b??
[11:22] <[flanque] > su -
[11:22] <mneptok> sudo su
[11:22] <miguelsr> i dont have kde
[11:22] <[flanque] > sudo /bin/bash    not good enough?
[11:22] <mneptok> sudo su
[11:22] <mneptok> ;)
[11:23] <Brkopac> Whats the command to bring up the list of repositories for apt?
[11:23] <rixt1> What are the first things to try when fixing a boot error? It simply hangs on the screen "Uncompressing linux", right after grub but before the graphical boot splash
[11:23] <[flanque] > what file are the kernel boot params in? /etc/ ?
[11:23] <Mandalf> sudo rm -rf /
[11:23] <miguelsr> how do i do to update my k3b?
[11:23] <rixt1> Mandalf: go away.
[11:23] <DanaG> I just have two showstopper issues for me switching to Ubuntu as primary:
[11:23] <rixt1> Brkopac: I hope you know better than to listen to Mandalf
[11:24] <Brkopac> heh ya
[11:24] <fyrestrtr> miguelsr: you don't need to update anything. File, New Project -- pick it from there.
[11:24] <DanaG> Speedstep-Centrino doesn't work on Yonah, and multichannel audio doesn't work on my SB A2 ZS Notebook.
[11:24] <Mandalf> rixt1: I have used it. A guy in a community told me to test it
[11:24] <fyrestrtr> [flanque] : /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:24] <DanaG> For one, I just need to update ALSA.
[11:24] <rixt1> Mandalf: so you try and get others back for what he did to you?
[11:25] <DanaG> For the other, I need to update to a kernel that's still in the future (marked as to-do in current changelogs; I haven't bothered compiling)
[11:25] <DanaG> !apt
[11:25] <ubotu> apt is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AptGetHowto  -  Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)

[11:30] <[flanque] > new to apache2, so this'll be fun
[11:30] <shawnr_> does MonoDevelop have an irc chan?
[11:30] <penitibiru> Hai?
[11:30] <Brkopac> where is the X conf located?
[11:30] <miguelsr> fyrestrtr: oh yeah sorry thanx
[11:30] <yoni_> Bye all :)
[11:31] <shawnr_> Brkopac, /etc/X11/xorg.config
[11:31] <Brkopac> ah thanks
[11:31] <mjmartin> ola
[11:31] <mneptok> xorg.conf, actually
[11:31] <Brkopac> heh, thanks
[11:33] <Supox> Hi, has anyone got radeon 9600 pro working with the latest ubuntu and openGL
[11:34] <Supox> I have direct rendering working, but for example glxgear won't run smoothly
[11:35] <yoni> Hi again :)
[11:35] <Supox> it runs for a few seconds, then a short pause and it continues
[11:35] <Supox> so basically it freezes for a moment every few seconds
[11:36] <MatthewV> Supox, if all your games run, that's no problem is it?
[11:36] <Supox> The same problem is with games
[11:36] <MatthewV> Supox, :(
[11:36] <dv_> jello
[11:36] <dv_> hello
[11:37] <Supox> yeah i know
[11:37] <dv_> ubuntu wants to remove TONS of packages just because I want to install FAM
[11:37] <dv_> this does not make any sense
[11:37] <KenSentMe> !info FAM
[11:37] <ubotu> Package FAM does not exist in dapper
[11:37] <Brkopac> Heh, like Grub, when you boot it has the different options you can select, can you modify what they say?
[11:37] <MatthewV> !info fam
[11:37] <ubotu> fam: File Alteration Monitor. In repository universe, is optional. Version 2.7.0-8ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 65 kB, installed size 256 kB
[11:38] <KenSentMe> MatthewV: thanks
[11:38] <Hoxzer> Package = lol
[11:38] <MatthewV> KenSentMe, no probs, just case-sensitivity :)
[11:38] <Hoxzer> nwm
[11:38] <dv_> does not explain why it wants to uninstall half of the entire ubuntu packages on my machine
[11:38] <KenSentMe> Brkopac: the grub menu is generated automaticly, so no you can't change what they say, but you can alter how many Kernel versions you wish to show
[11:39] <MatthewV> dv_, which additional packages does it want to install?
[11:39] <chemaja> wtf... blam 1.8.2 wont refresh my Planet GNOME feed -- even when I paste in the working URL from Liferea
[11:39] <void^> !info gamin
[11:39] <ubotu> gamin: File and directory monitoring system. In repository main, is optional. Version 0.1.7-2ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 59 kB, installed size 184 kB
[11:39] <dv_> language-selector language-selector-common
[11:39] <void^> you can't have both gamin and fam
[11:40] <chemaja> calling all blam users: does your Planet GNOME feed work?
[11:40] <Flannel> Brkopac: yes, you can change what they say
[11:40] <dv_> whats gamin?
[11:40] <dv_> gnomes fam-version?
[11:40] <MatthewV> dv_, see above :)
[11:41] <dv_> ah yes
[11:41] <dv_> missed it
[11:42] <KenSentMe> chemaja: i just installed blam and the Planet Gnome feed keeps empty
[11:43] <KenSentMe> chemaja: maybe it's a problem on their side
[11:43] <chemaja> KenSentMe, what about in Liferea?
[11:43] <chemaja> KenSentMe, ps. thanks
[11:44] <Snake007uk> hey guys, how can i change the keyabord layout form command line ?
[11:45] <MatthewV> Snake007uk, its an option in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:45] <Snake007uk> this machine doesnt have X its only command line access
[11:45] <Snake007uk> I should mention that it is a debian box.. but i thought as debian and ubuntu are similar I could ask here ?
[11:45] <KenSentMe> chemaja: In Liferea it works, so that's strange indeed
[11:46] <Snake007uk> i know is redhat the value can be a changed in /etc/sysconfig
[11:46] <chemaja> KenSentMe, indeed -- an i'm not getting any stdout/stderr messages for the failure from blam
[11:46] <mneptok> Snake007uk: sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-data
[11:46] <Snake007uk> mneptok: thanks
[11:47] <nalpha> guys how to run patch???
[11:47] <[Wiebel] > Hi, i have a remote control device , are there any tools te configure it under ubuntu?
[11:47] <[Wiebel] > kde has some settings
[11:47] <[Wiebel] > gnome doesnt
[11:47] <nalpha> guys how to run .patch???
[11:47] <[Wiebel] > as far as I can see
[11:47] <mneptok> nalpha: you run .patch against an existing source codebase
[11:48] <nalpha> ya
[11:48] <mneptok> nalpha: and running such things if not from a trusted source is ... not an entirely great idea.
[11:48] <nalpha> it's ok do you know how??
[11:48] <no0tic> X doesn't want to run at 1280x800 on my new laptop, what can I do?
[11:48] <nalpha> i mean is how to run file with .patch ???
[11:49] <KenSentMe> chemaja: i do get an error when i open an item in Liferea, but it's a charachter error, nothing special i would say
[11:49] <KenSentMe> !fixres > no0tic
[11:49] <mneptok> nalpha: http://people.redhat.com/dledford/patching.html
[11:49] <KenSentMe> no0tic: check what ubotu has to say to you
[11:49] <nalpha> ok do ok
[11:49] <chemaja> KenSentMe, hrm interesting
[11:50] <no0tic> KenSentMe, thanks
[11:52] <KenSentMe> no0tic: no problem
[11:52] <yoni> How can I mount an NTFS drive that found on /dev/hdb5 into linux without loss any data?:\
[11:53] <[b] urk> how can i find a good font to use in aterm?
[11:53] <Flannel> yoni: ubuntu should mount it automatically, You can read without dataloss.
[11:53] <Flannel> !ntfs
[11:53] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[11:54] <Flannel> that'll give you some info if it isnt already mounted
[11:55] <yoni> cool, thx
[11:58] <KILLUMINATI> i want to install windows tty fonts on my installation .. which directory do the fonts ususally go in ?
[11:59] <KenSentMe> chemaja: also the rss 1.0 feed doesn't work in Blam
[11:59] <KenSentMe> KILLUMINATI: you can do that with synaptic, install msttcorefonts
[11:59] <Flannel> KILLUMINATI: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto
[11:59] <KILLUMINATI> thanks
[12:00] <chemaja> KenSentMe, pooware
[12:00] <lophyte> anyone know how I can get Ubuntu to support .sit files?
[12:01] <Flannel> lophyte: install something that understands .sit files ;)
[12:01] <lophyte> Flannel: smart :P
[12:02] <frogzoo> Flannel: genius!!
[12:03] <KenSentMe> lophyte: this will work http://www.stuffit.com/unix/index.html
[12:03] <lophyte> KenSentMe: ah, thanks
[12:03] <no0tic> how to make wireless centrino duo workin?
[12:03] <KenSentMe> lophyte: but it costs 30 bucks
[12:04] <no0tic> ipw3945 module doesn't work
[12:04] <lophyte> blah
[12:04] <mneptok> no0tic: works for me. out of the box. no tweaking.
[12:05] <lophyte> I guess I'll check freshmeat
[12:06] <Rod> hi
[12:07] <Rod> is there somewhere a compatibility list for wireless usb adapters? cant fnd it on the site or google
[12:07] <no0tic> mneptok, does it use ipw3945 module?
[12:07] <lophyte> damn, can't find it.
[12:07] <samu2> Why are the filenames (apachectl = apache2ctl, httpd.conf "=" apache2.conf) different from the ones mentioned in the apache manual?
[12:07] <Flannel> Rod: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[12:08] <Rod> tx Flannel .. the wiki... how could i forget
[12:08] <Flannel> samu2: because youve got apache2 installed
[12:09] <magical_trevsky> hi, does anyone know how I can move the system clock one hour forward from the terminal?
[12:09] <Flannel> samu2: and, ubuntu has changed some stuff around, made it easier for apt to deal with confuration and stuff. (er, actually, I think it was debian who started it, I really dont know)
[12:09] <KenSentMe> lophyte: on the webpage there was a trial version, maybe it works good enough
[12:09] <redrum> how do i use ip tables to block an ip address from being able to use NAT or any forwarding over the ppp0 interface? when i issue the command "iptables -I INPUT -s 192.168.1.16 -j DROP" it has no effect.. 192.168.1.16 merrily continues sending and receiving internet traffic
[12:09] <samu2> Apache HTTP Server version 2.2 != Apache2?
[12:09] <KenSentMe> magical_trevsky: type 'man date'
[12:10] <magical_trevsky> KenSentMe, thanks :>
[12:10] <Flannel> samu2: alright, see my second thing ;)  in ubuntu, config files are spread out a bit more.
[12:10] <mneptok> no0tic: yes, my ThinkPad has an Intel 3945ABG.
[12:10] <noiesmo> !firestarter > redrum
[12:11] <mneptok> no0tic: notice i said "no tweaking." did you try to get the card working in Dapper *before* you downloaded and installed things?
[12:11] <samu2> Flannel, ok but it is a bit annoying when you are reading the manual and you dont know what parts have been modified
[12:11] <Flannel> samu2: What are you trying to do?
[12:12] <samu2> Just RTFMing about apache
[12:13] <Flannel> samu2: heh, alright.  For most things ubuntu has ubuntu-specific documentation laying around the wiki.  And, things aren't that different.  BAsically apache2.conf includes the other stuff, so only in the source is it different
[12:13] <no0tic> mneptok, yes, now it works, but only with open networks
[12:13] <FurryNemesis> Hi all. Can anyone recommend an ubuntu-compatible external USB DVD writer?
[12:14] <no0tic> mneptok, without wep wpa encryption
[12:14] <afief> I am trying to compile Lyx, but it needs QT-devel, i can't find that package in the repository
[12:14] <mneptok> no0tic: install network-manager-gnome
[12:14] <Flannel> samu2: includes /sites-enabled/ and /mods-enabled/ in sites, are just virtual hosts, theres a deault one.  in mods- are .load and .conf files, load files load in different things, then their corresponding conf files add in the relevant configuration directives
[12:14] <lophyte> KenSentMe: the demo segfaults :P
[12:14] <mneptok> no0tic: getting WEP to work without the network manager app is fairly easy. WPA(2) less so.
[12:15] <frogzoo> redrum: that belongs in the FORWARD chain I guess
[12:16] <samu2> Flannel, yep I kind of figured out how it's set up with those conf files already. I was just wondering why it was different from the manual.
[12:16] <chedabob> hey
[12:16] <chedabob> i have a problem
[12:16] <Flannel> samu2: because it makes it easier for apt- that way, just adding removing files in /mods-available/
[12:16] <KenSentMe> afief: maybe you need libqt4-dev or something
[12:17] <afief> kensentme: i\
[12:17] <afief> kensentme: i'll certainly try that out
[12:17] <chedabob> are there known issues with Gaim and Dapper Drake? cos im using the preinstalled version of gaim, and my buddy list is displayed, but then Gaim just disappears, theres no icon on the taskbar
[12:18] <FurryNemesis> chedabob, not that I know of
[12:18] <KenSentMe> chedabob: it works fine here
[12:18] <FurryNemesis> chedabob, tried an uninstall/reinstall?
[12:18] <chedabob> i did an update for Dapper, and its only started since then. the version that comes with the install cd works fine
[12:19] <chedabob> furry: yeah, didnt help. i tried the autopackage version aswell, cos that wasnt a CVS version
[12:19] <FurryNemesis> ah
[12:19] <FurryNemesis> mm sorry, can't help.
[12:19] <chedabob> is there a way to "downgrade" to the version on the install cd?
[12:20] <frogzoo> chedabob: uninstall, install off the cd, with the net repos disabled - then pin it
[12:20] <mneptok> chedabob: have you tried moving ~/.gaim aside?
[12:20] <fl4kk3r> exit
[12:20] <chedabob> woah hold on, im a n00b towards linux :P
[12:21] <mneptok> chedabob: is GAIM running?
[12:21] <chedabob> nope
[12:21] <chedabob> it quits as soon as i open it
[12:21] <mneptok> chedabob: open a terminal and type "mv .gaim gaim-old"
[12:21] <mneptok> then try launching again
[12:22] <wthww> hello hello
[12:22] <chedabob> my buddy list displays, then it disappears, theres nothing on the taskbar. it seems that the current version doesnt like my system, cos i had Hoary on yesterday, and as soon as i upgraded, the same error occured
[12:22] <chedabob> Hi
[12:22] <chedabob> mneptok: i typed that, now what?
[12:22] <edgy> Hi, awstats in my ubuntu system lists all "Operating Systems" and "Browsers" as unknows though I have lots of visits, any hint what's wrong?
[12:22] <mneptok> chedabob: try launching GAIM
[12:23] <chedabob> mneptok: that seemed to work. its not shut yet
[12:24] <mneptok> chedabob: then the problem was something in your user settings for GAIM. do you log your IM sessions?
[12:25] <chedabob> ok next problem: my memory card reader isnt recognised at all, with or without a card in. it worked before, but then i formatted the memory card on another pc, and its stopped
[12:25] <mneptok> chedabob: did you format it as FAT32?
[12:25] <chedabob> yup
[12:25] <chedabob> but the memory card reader light doesnt come on, even without the card in, which it did just 5 minutes ago, before i plugged it into my windows pc
[12:25] <mneptok> i hate card readers.
[12:26] <mneptok> *hate*
[12:26] <chedabob> i need to use it, cos as far as i know, theres no version of activesync for linux
[12:26] <mneptok> activesync?
[12:26] <mneptok> wuzzat?
[12:26] <chedabob> its for windows mobile phones
[12:26] <mneptok> oh, that's why i don;t know it ;)
[12:27] <chedabob> damn, i need to get these pictures off my memory card
[12:27] <mneptok> sorry, i hate handling card readers for supported clients, so no way i'm doing it for free ;)
[12:27] <mneptok> <--- bastard
[12:28] <chedabob> it worked before though. i was messing with the partitions on the card, then i took it downstairs to format it on my windows pc cos i couldnt find a format command for linux :P
[12:28] <chedabob> now it doesnt even light up
[12:28] <mall0c> how do i change default/preferred applications for things other than browser, email & terminal?
[12:29] <mneptok> mall0c: right-click the file and choose an associated app
[12:29] <chedabob> ok, final question. i cant get mp3s to play in amarok. i click an mp3, the play button changes to pause, then it goes back to a play button. i fixed this last time by updating the Xine engine, but i cant find an update, ive got the latest version
[12:30] <mall0c> mneptok, yes, it doesnt seem to work. I would like videos to default to mplayer rather than totem, but even when i set them to open with mplayer, they still launch in totem
[12:31] <mall0c> mneptok, mneptok in fact i would rather not have totem at all, but apparently i cant remove it?
[12:34] <afief> When configuring lyx it says QT library not found although i have installed both QT3-dev and QT4-dev
[12:34] <lophyte> anyone know a command line program that'll go through a bunch of files and change the DOS carriage returns to UNIX?
[12:34] <chedabob> how do i get the Helix engine for Amarok? cos the xine engine just refuses to play mp3s for me
[12:34] <mall0c> lophyte, vim will do it
[12:35] <lophyte> mall0c: I have to do it to a whole bunch of files.. is there a way to automate it?
[12:35] <mall0c> lophyte, oh, hm...not that i know of
[12:36] <afief> How do i check if an environment variable is set?
[12:36] <void^> !info tofrodos
[12:36] <ubotu> tofrodos: Converts DOS <-> Unix text files, alias tofromdos. In repository main, is optional. Version 1.7.6-1 (dapper), package size 16 kB, installed size 68 kB
[12:37] <lophyte> void^: thanks
[12:37] <Chetic> somebody slap me
[12:38] <mall0c> afief,  'echo $VARIABLE' should do it
[12:39] <afief> okay my variable is not set, how do i know where my QT directory is?
[12:39] <ocx> how can i run X from my ssh client? its saying user has no permissions...
[12:40] <letters_9> can I safely remove my windows boot HD, and repartition the ntfs one with gpedit (got dapper drake) then boot through bios
[12:40] <letters_9> and keep all my stuff ?
[12:40] <letters_9> on the repartioned one
[12:40] <Chetic> somebody slap me mIRC-style
[12:40] <mneptok> letters_9: you need to defrag NTFS before changing its partition size.
[12:40] <letters_9> yep done that
[12:41] <letters_9> im just a bit paranoid :)
[12:41] <ocx> anyone using bitchx?
[12:41] <mneptok> letters_9: most experienced people are.
[12:41] <letters_9> its not one big blue block but says it all defragged
[12:41] <yoni> Hello all, how can I restart the filesystem service?
[12:41] <letters_9> hmm well removed most of the stufff I want to keep
[12:41] <yoni> Is there a way to restart the FS service else of restart the box?
[12:41] <letters_9> the rest, meh
[12:42] <letters_9> oh well im going to do it
[12:42] <letters_9> cause im soo sick of windows nonsense
[12:42] <afief> how do i know where my QT directory is?
[12:43] <letters_9> i must have read every tutorial by now..
[12:43] <letters_9> so , hey
[12:43] <letters_9> that means I wont be able to use mirc anymore :(
[12:43] <letters_9> lol
[12:44] <letters_9> well ill work it out sppose
[12:44] <letters_9> keep me off the street for a bit :)
[12:44] <letters_9> cheers aye
[12:44] <letters_9> maybe ill just read that thing one more time, cause you just know the modem isnt going to #)$(*#$ work straight away
[12:45] <mneptok> letters_9: no one actually *wants* to use mIRC, do they?
[12:46] <gord> you can still use mirc anyway, though wine. http://appdb.winehq.com/appview.php?iVersionId=4649
[12:46] <letters_9> aww im sorta used to it,
[12:46] <letters_9> lol of course
[12:47] <letters_9> erm, so wonder if windows will still see the repartioned HD has D:
[12:47] <mneptok> letters_9: when you became a teenager did you say, "i'll stay celibate, because ... you know ... i'm 'sorta used to it'?"
[12:47] <mneptok> i mean, if we all stuck with what we're used to, the human race would not survive.
[12:47] <letters_9> hey who says I was a teenager :)
[12:48] <letters_9> did have linux as a NAT system a while back
[12:49] <letters_9> anyway yeah, its about time I pulled the plug
[12:49] <letters_9> ive never had an issue with repartitioning,
[12:49] <mneptok> famous last words ...
[12:49] <letters_9> so you can read and even write ntfs drivers from linux now ?
[12:49] <letters_9> rofl
[12:49] <letters_9> there is a god that does hubris
[12:50] <letters_9> I really should remember its name :)
[12:50] <mneptok> yeah, but he's always busy looking in the mirror
[12:50] <Brkopac> what player can play wmv files?

[12:53] <ishorseman> good morning -- does ubuntu have support for the intel 945 chipset
[12:53] <mneptok> ishorseman: the Intel video chipsets are a thing of horror, sadly.
[12:54] <mneptok> ishorseman: there are some patches floating about. i think i may have one. sec.
[12:54] <Brkopac> can i get mplayer through apt?
[12:54] <Brkopac> it says its refered to by another package
[12:54] <ishorseman> mneptok what works best. I am making a new box
[12:54] <void^> !info mplayer
[12:54] <ubotu> mplayer: The Ultimate Movie Player For Linux. In repository multiverse, is extra. Version 2:0.99+1.0pre7try2+cvs20060117-0ubuntu8 (dapper), package size 3265 kB, installed size 7916 kB

[12:56] <mneptok> ishorseman: stay away from PCI-E
[12:56] <Brkopac> when i try a apt-get install mplayer
[12:57] <artista1> hola
[12:57] <artista1> alguien por ahi
[12:57] <artista1> que me pueda decir algo
[12:57] <Brkopac> it says you mplayer has no installation candidate
[12:57] <artista1> para saber si esto funciona
[12:58] <mneptok> Brkopac: try "sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer"
[12:58] <ishorseman> mneptok thanks I will look at nVida. have to go the sun is up and there are horses to feed
[12:59] <mneptok> ishorseman: sun just came up here, too. my shift is almost over.
[12:59] <ishorseman> mnpiok have a reallly good rest if the day
[01:00] <Brkopac> couldn't find package
[01:00] <mneptok> Brkopac: do you have Universe enabled?
[01:00] <Brkopac> yup
[01:00] <mneptok> you sure about that?
[01:00] <Brkopac> let me double check

[01:01] <DanaG> What's wrong with PCIe?
[01:01] <Nuks> in a typical windows installation after you install the OS then you still need to install some drivers before you can actually use your machine. does ubuntu fall in the same way as windows? tnx!
[01:01] <Brkopac> i have all the binaries checked up
[01:01] <Brkopac> off(
[01:03] <mneptok> Brkopac: is GNOME installed?
[01:03] <Brkopac> ye

[01:12] <yoni> !grubdualboot
[01:12] <ubotu> I know nothing about grubdualboot - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:12] <nalpha> what's the best download manager for ubuntu????
[01:13] <yoni> wget :)
[01:13] <nalpha> else??? with gui?
[01:13] <franko> does anybody here is chatting with dapper and a core duo laptop?
[01:13] <yoni> :|
[01:14] <mcphail> How can I prevent my browser loading ads/images from a specific IP address (69.50.165.252)? Does this require an iptables rule?
[01:14] <RvGaTe> mcphail, what browser?
[01:14] <mcphail> RvGaTe: using firefox, but want to block for any browser
[01:14] <yoni> How can I do that grub will be able to load windows xp from ntfs?
[01:15] <mrcoyote> yep
[01:15] <franko> @yoni:  title           Microsoft Windows XP Professional
[01:15] <franko> root            (hd0,0)
[01:15] <franko> savedefault
[01:15] <franko> makeactive
[01:15] <franko> chainloader     +1
[01:15] <KenSentMe> !ntfs
[01:15] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[01:15] <yoni> it telling me that the file system isn't known
[01:16] <franko> Me works...I have ntfs
[01:16] <franko> the chainloader passes the control to the partition
[01:16] <franko> this entry is in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:17] <ADminS> i can't axx sound with user but with root i can access it
[01:17] <ADminS> so how i set user to axx it?
[01:17] <RvGaTe> mcphail, there is a way to make sure images are only displayed when they are at the same server as the website itself... but thats FF only i think... look into your options, its off by default
[01:18] <yoni> , Can I pm please?
[01:18] <IRCMonkeyX> !yelp
[01:18] <ubotu> I know nothing about yelp - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
, Can I pm please?
[01:19] <mcphail> RvGaTe: yes, but I'm sure there is a "system-wide" way to block this. Unfortunately, as it is a proper IP address I can't just add it to the hosts file...
[01:19] <IRCMonkeyX> when i write "yelp" in terminal, it says command not found, why ?
[01:19] <franko> @mcphail you can add an iptables entry with a content filtering on images from a known ip
[01:20] <yoni> how can I know if my right HD is located @ (hd1,0)?
[01:20] <RvGaTe> mcphail, well, its not possible with iptables, thats only for ipadres:port blocking...
[01:20] <franko> hd1,o meand primary slave partition 1
[01:21] <yoni> so I set currectlly the hard drive :)
[01:21] <ADminS> yoni, u can check by : df -H
[01:21] <ADminS> its show u spaces plus /dev/hd*
[01:21] <kbrosnan> mcphail, a hosts file would work
[01:21] <ADminS> hda = (hd1,0)
[01:21] <mcphail> Hmm. I find iptables rather impenetrable
[01:21] <franko> @RvGaTe I think instead you can
[01:21] <mcphail> kbrosnan: how would a hosts file work? This is to block a numerical address
[01:22] <yoni> so hdb1 = hd2,0?
[01:22] <franko> i try to attach a sample using the packet content filter (patch-o-matic)
[01:22] <RvGaTe> franko, iptables is only for port and ip blocking... not for an fileextension...
[01:22] <franko> hdb1 is hd1,1
[01:22] <franko> whops... hd1,0
[01:23] <kbrosnan> mcphail, oh nm then, I thought you were asking in general
[01:23] <franko> @RvGate... believe me..you can inspect any packet of a stream and if it contains i.e. an header of a a gif image you can drop the connection
[01:23] <Brkopac> are there any unoffical .deb files for mplayer?
 hda = (hd1,0) vs. <franko> hdb1 is hd1,0.. something seems broken :\
[01:23] <RvGaTe> franko, but not with iptables... maybe with a different app
[01:24] <franko> iptables -I INPUT -j DROP -p tcp -s 0.0.0.0/0 -m string --string "cmd.exe"
[01:24] <mcphail> RvGaTe: I'd be happy to drop _everything_ originating from that ip address
[01:24] <franko> this a sample that drops connection whenever you downolad the cmd.exe app
[01:25] <RvGaTe> mcphail, then iptables is your friend...
[01:25] <yoni> well I'll play alittle bit with rebooting, I'll check this method, BRB.
[01:25] <J_P> hi all
[01:25] <diesen> can someone tell me how I connect 2 ubuntu PCs with a crossover cabel?
[01:26] <mcphail> RvGaTe: I must say, I have never found the manpage very friendly!
[01:26] <diesen> pleaseee!
[01:26] <mcphail> franko: is that the syntax I would require to drop all packets from the specified IP address?
[01:27] <KenSentMe> diesen: install openssh on one system, go to Places>Connect to server, select SSH and type in the ip address
[01:27] <franko> @mcphail nope...this was a sample to drop form any ip the connection whenever on the page it is present cmd.exe
[01:27] <KenSentMe> diesen: or just ssh, i forgot
[01:28] <franko> otherwise a simple iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -s block_ip -j DROP
[01:28] <diesen> KenSentMe: ssh is already installed, but i cannot see the another PC in the network places
[01:28] <mcphail> franko: thank you very much indeed :)
[01:29] <franko> @mcphail: but the strenght of the string filtering is great...consider it too...
[01:29] <KenSentMe> diesen: can you go to Places and then Connect to server?
[01:29] <RvGaTe> mcphail, took some time, but here it is: http://www.justlinux.com/nhf/Security/IPtables_Basics.html
[01:29] <yoni> franko, the error I'm getting is filesystem isnt known, partition 0x7 :|
[01:29] <yoni> & everything is set OK
[01:29] <mcphail> RvGaTe: thanks
[01:30] <franko> yony :( that's bad...
[01:30] <Luna-Tick> whois frogzoo
[01:30] <Luna-Tick> *blush*
[01:30] <franko> yoni are you using dapper?
[01:30] <yoni> yep
[01:30] <yoni> grub0.97
[01:30] <yoni> -ubuntu9
[01:30] <franko> strange...I have the same... with NTFS and windows il loaded
[01:31] <franko> do you confirm your entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:31] <diesen> KenSentMe  yes, but its too complicated for such simple task, if i dont know the IP of the another PC. Is it possible to make it over Network Places?
[01:31] <mcphail> franko: Thanks again: works perfectly
[01:31] <yoni> yes
[01:31] <franko> mcphail... you will lose the entry on reboot
[01:32] <yoni> Windows is on secondary hd drive c
[01:32] <franko> you maybe need a iptables-save as root
[01:32] <mcphail> franko: i'll sort it out.
[01:32] <franko> yoni windows in on hdc1?
[01:32] <yoni> hdb1
[01:32] <nalpha> what folder that firefox put cache
[01:33] <kbrosnan> nalpha, ~/.mozilla/firefox/.../cache
[01:33] <ADminS> how i can configure sound car under linux
[01:33] <franko> yoni so it must be (hd1,0)...i also have grub 0.97
[01:33] <ADminS> lol@ under linux
[01:34] <diesen> KenSentMe: Thanx for your help! :)
[01:34] <franko> ** does anybody here is chatting with dapper and a core duo laptop?
[01:34] <yoni> Maybe windows should only woprk under h0,0?
[01:34] <yoni> *hd0,0
[01:34] <ADminS> soundcard *
[01:34] <franko> yoni the best think is to install a working windows xp copy, and THEN ubuntu
[01:35] <franko> it will do it himself
[01:35] <yoni> hmmmm ubuntu will detect windows & will install itself on the other hd?
[01:36] <franko> yoni. nope. You install windows, leaving an empty partitio. Than linux on this empty partition and grub bill let you chose win/linux
[01:36] <franko> sorry..you have separate hd
[01:37] <franko> in this case I didn't experienced
[01:37] <yoni> kk, then I'm out to test some stuff.. :)
[01:37] <franko> i guess if ubuntu is installed after it should work anyway
[01:37] <yoni> bye, will be back in weekend :)
[01:37] <franko> ciao
[01:37] <yoni> I'll do some tests on the linux hd & on my tet's hd :)
[01:38] <yoni> thanks for tryin' to help :)
[01:39] <Dalik> I want to compile programs from source but I want to put in my own optimization variables, where is this file at?
[01:40] <fyrestrtr> this is not gentoo :) you'll need to manually export the vars before the compile.
[01:40] <dapet> MatthewV: where you the metheiv that will help me?
[01:41] <Dalik> hmmm do you have an example?
[01:41] <Dalik> or a page were I can look at one anyway?
[01:41] <Dalik> or keyword, as I have been searching and not really finding anything
[01:42] <nalpha> kbrosnan sry... can you write it again but more complite..??
[01:43] <Brkopac> when it says run the command "make" to compile
[01:43] <Brkopac> how do i do that?
[01:43] <longwave> Brkopac: just type "make"
[01:43] <Brkopac> command not found
[01:43] <longwave> if you don't have it installed, install the "build-essential" package
[01:43] <Dalik> Brkopac, go into the directory where you untar the source
[01:44] <Dalik> do a "./configure"
[01:44] <Dalik> once thats done do a "make"
[01:44] <IRCMonkeyX> hi, what is the use of console ?
[01:44] <Dalik> then "make install"
[01:44] <Dalik> get the build packages first as noted above
[01:44] <longwave> Dalik: about optimisation when compiling from source: you can pass extra flags to ./configure
[01:44] <Brkopac> ah i don't have the build-essentials loaded
[01:44] <IRCMonkeyX> why are there 6-7 consoles ?
[01:44] <longwave> Dalik: see http://www.la.utexas.edu/lab/software/devtool/gnu/autoconf/Compilers_and_Options.html
[01:45] <Dalik> longwave, thanks mate
[01:45] <flipcode> is there a simple ftp server recommended for ubuntu?
[01:45] <oskude> IRCMonkeyX: why not...
[01:45] <IRCMonkeyX> oskude: when do we need to use consoles ?
[01:45] <dapet> Anyone have experience with installing netgear WG111v2?
[01:45] <oskude> IRCMonkeyX: when ever you want
[01:45] <longwave> IRCMonkeyX: when X is not working? the standard in linux for a long time has been 6 consoles then X on the 7th console
[01:46] <IRCMonkeyX> longwave: so that, can we repair something by using consoles ?
[01:46] <longwave> flipcode: there are many ftp servers to choose from, wu-ftpd and proftpd are probably worth looking at
[01:46] <avalost> anyone have any idea why evolution hangs after downloading 2 messages?
[01:46] <Dalik> IRCMonkeyX, so if you mess up Alt+7 really bad, then switch and try again :)
[01:46] <flipcode> console based
[01:47] <avalost> i have to cancel and send recieve all until i can get all messages
[01:47] <longwave> IRCMonkeyX: yes, exactly
[01:47] <IRCMonkeyX> thanx people
[01:47] <ubuntu> hello
[01:48] <flipcode> so given ubuntu is debian based, whats the "standard" software installation routine?
[01:48] <flipcode> redhat = rpm
[01:48] <flipcode> ubuntu = ?
[01:48] <oskude> flipcode: deb
[01:48] <Dalik> I have noticed an issue that happens at an uncommon rate, say I open a program and if I move the mouse over a button and click nothing happens I have to move the mouse away from the focus of that button then move the mouse back over the button before its high lighted and clickable, its only with gnome.  Is that a known "feature"?
[01:49] <longwave> flipcode: "deb" is the packaging format, "dpkg" is the basic tool comparable to "rpm", but apt-get, aptitude or synaptic are what most people use for package management
[01:49] <flipcode> hmm.. can you install rpms on ubuntu?
[01:49] <oskude> flipcode: sure, but wouldnt recommend
[01:50] <longwave> flipcode: "alien" will convert rpms to debs but it is not usually a good idea
[01:50] <flipcode> proftpd on at least this mirror is an RPM
[01:50] <flipcode> ;_;
[01:50] <ompaul> flipcode, ohh ask how do you install proftpd and we can tell you :-)
[01:50] <ompaul> !info proftpd
[01:50] <ubotu> proftpd: Versatile, virtual-hosting FTP daemon. In repository universe, is optional. Version 1.2.10-27ubuntu3 (dapper), package size 351 kB, installed size 1052 kB
[01:50] <Dalik> RPM from my understanding is just a directory structure of folders and files(like a zip file) same for a deb.  Most of the time it will work but like longwave says results will vary.
[01:51] <jatt> Dalik: I've experienced similar behaviour (it is very rare) with gnome-applications. I suspect it must be a gtk+ bug.
[01:51] <longwave> flipcode: enable the universe repository then "sudo apt-get install proftpd" will install it for you
[01:51] <longwave> !repository
[01:51] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[01:51] <Flannel> RPMs will work, but you destroy a good deal of the benefits you get by using package management.
[01:51] <nalpha> any body can help where i can find cache folder firefox????
[01:51] <longwave> Dalik: rpms do have dependencies but i tend to find more problems with rpm packages than deb ones
[01:52] <Dalik> Your best best is to download the source and compile it but use checkinstall which will create a deb file.  Then you can install and uninstall via apt tools
[01:52] <ompaul> flipcode, add the universe repo (and multiverse) and then pop it
[01:52] <flipcode> im on a console only
[01:52] <Dalik> aye I hate RPM's
[01:52] <ompaul> Dalik, no the best idea is to install it from the native repos
[01:52] <Dalik> I can only deal with debs now
[01:52] <Dalik> well, if the repos dont have what I want
[01:52] <Madeye> flipcode, RPM -> Red hat package managager and DPKG -> Debian package manager
[01:53] <Dalik> as the repos are not always "current", but if you NEED to compile from source, check out checkinstall if you wish.
[01:53] <flipcode> how do i "add the universe repo" ?
[01:53] <Shinzetsu> how do I rip an iso from a disk?
[01:53] <longwave> flipcode: edit /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment the line about "universe"
[01:54] <Dalik> jatt, I hope they fix it its very annoying.  But I could try and fix it myself, the great thing about OSS!
[01:54] <ompaul> flipcode, sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list <<- remove the #  from in front of the line starting with deb ending in universe, then add the word mulitverse to the end of that line,after that remove the # from the security lines at the foot of the page and the updates lines, save and run these three commands >> sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get install proftpd << then start working on your proftpd settings
[01:54] <Jimmey> Hey guys. I'm about to try and install an intel graphics driver in the hope that it will keep the FPS of openGL games above 8. I've attempted this before, without luck - Does anyone have any experience in doing this?
[01:54] <IAskew> Shinzetsu, kiso
[01:55] <ompaul> cyphase, what is bouncing you so much?
[01:55] <Shinzetsu> flipcode: or just open synaptic > settings > repositories > edit > check universe
[01:55] <flipcode> nah i've uncommented the conf file
[01:55] <ompaul> Shinzetsu, flipcode has stated on console only  :-)
[01:55] <flipcode> yeah
[01:56] <flipcode> recons it cannot find package proftpd
[01:56] <Shinzetsu> ah okay
[01:56] <longwave> flipcode: you need to run "sudo apt-get update" to read the new repository data
[01:56] <Dalik> I installed ubuntu dapper when it first came out and noticed it was slow, loading apps, just general use was slow.  Then after a few weeks I used the i686 kernel and did a prelink, I noticed a difference.  I reinstalled again, and ran a faster-ubuntu.sh script and used the 686kernel right away and noticed a big difference, check it if you want to try.
[01:56] <longwave> flipcode: then installing proftpd should work
[01:56] <flipcode> i see
[01:56] <ompaul> flipcode, >> sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get install proftpd <<
[01:56] <flipcode> exciting stuff, even from a redhatian
[01:57] <ompaul> flipcode, I already gave you that :-) in the long explaination where I also got you to enable security updates and package changes for version issues (to track the LTS version)
[01:57] <IAskew> Dalik, fast-dapper or faster-ubuntu?
[01:57] <Dalik> faster-dapper
[01:57] <Dalik> IAskew, faster-dapper
[01:58] <IAskew> i was looking at that the other day, everything work ok?
[01:58] <ompaul> IAskew,  Dalik, that script may not match your hardware correctly be careful -- installing the right kernel for the right proc is importand if AMD then it should be k7
[01:58] <nalpha> if want to find spesific folder with command find what do i must type ? example " i want to find cache in / "
[01:59] <IAskew> Dalik, IIRC theres a section at the bottome u have to comment out if ur using  a laptop, yes?
[01:59] <ompaul> IAskew,  still better to do each line as you understand it works
[01:59] <KenSentMe> nalpha: find / -name cache
[01:59] <POVaddct> nalpha: find / -name "cache*"
[01:59] <IAskew> i also wasnt enthralled about setting hdparm off w/out fully knowing what its doing
[01:59] <IAskew> ompaul, good advice, ty
[01:59] <ompaul>  /var/cache is useful there
[01:59] <IRCMonkeyX> hi, there isnt add-remove under applications menu ? how come ? it was there yesterday
[02:00] <deFrysk> nalpha, try .mozilla/firefox/a0li0d93.default/Cache/
[02:00] <deFrysk> or something
[02:00] <Dalik> IAskew, I dont know I installed the correct i686-smp kernel before I ran that script
[02:00] <ompaul> IRCMonkeyX, were you using alacarte?>
[02:00] <IAskew> Dalik, got you mate
[02:00] <IAskew> Dalik, thx for the heads up
[02:00] <Dalik> IAskew, I am not using a laptop so I just went with it, shoot first ask questions later :)
[02:00] <IRCMonkeyX> ompaul: there is alacarte, but i didnt use it
[02:00] <IAskew> :)
[02:01] <lhds> guys i have a apci problem and when i boot i have a bios bug my tv card doesnt read in dmesg with apci=off in grub and without it ... do you advise me to download and compile the latest kernel from kernel.org? will that solve things?
[02:01] <nalpha> ok2 thanx
[02:01] <oskude> IRCMonkeyX: i still got that menu...
[02:01] <ompaul> IRCMonkeyX, well it is here today here ;-) so I guess you must have been doing something - check out alacarte it can be used to configure the menu
[02:02] <Dalik> If I run this command "env CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-s ./configure" everytime I run "./configure" it will run with those flags right?
[02:03] <IRCMonkeyX> ompaul: there isnt add/remove  at alacarte too:(
[02:04] <flipcode> damn, needs cdrom
[02:04] <ompaul> IRCMonkeyX, give me 5 minutes please
[02:04] <lhds> any anyone help?
[02:04] <IRCMonkeyX> ompaul: oki
[02:04] <ompaul> flipcode, chill - we don't need to get excited :)
[02:04] <longwave> Dalik: no, not every time, just for that build (so when you do make it will keep those flags, but if you rerun ./configure without the flags it will lose them)
[02:05] <Dalik> longwave, ok cool, thnx
[02:06] <ompaul> IRCMonkeyX,  choose create new entry and here are its values:[ Name: Add/Remove... ] [ Comment: Install and remove applications ] [/usr/bin/gnome-app-install]  then check it in alacarte cheers
[02:06] <Dalik> lhds, sorry mate not sure
[02:06] <seagullthem1> I can't get sound to work in WINE, when accessing the "audio" tab in winecfg, I get this:   fixme:midi:OSS_MidiInit Synthesizer support MIDI in. Not supported yet (please report)

[02:07] <flipcode> beautiful
[02:07] <flipcode> now that was easy
[02:07] <Roadkill^> quick question... is there any way i can startx (and login) with putty (ssh)?
[02:08] <nalpha> guys if we download file with wget where is the default directory of download??
[02:08] <flipcode> home dir?
[02:08] <nalpha> i not found it..
[02:08] <oskude> nalpha: i quess the dir where you executed wget...
[02:08] <IRCMonkeyX> ompaul: it says nu such file or directory ,when i try to open it
[02:08] <IAskew> nalpha, wherever u run the cmd from?
[02:08] <fyrestrtr> Roadkill^: you'd need remote desktop services running (like vnc)
[02:08] <flipcode> that was my second guess
[02:08] <nalpha> o...
[02:08] <nalpha> the default in my cmd....
[02:08] <nalpha> ok2 thanx2 ^^
[02:08] <IAskew> home

[02:09] <ompaul> IRCMonkeyX, check that for typos by using the browse button
[02:10] <Roadkill^> fyrestrtr problem is that vino is running only when X is runing

[02:11] <letters_9> im repartitioning an NTFS HD, theory is to have ubuntu on a 80g master 25g ext3, 54g NTFS and 1gig swap and an 80g NTFS XP boot on slave
[02:12] <letters_9> ive resized the master and that worked ok, do I need to move it as well ?

[02:14] <IRCMonkeyX> ompaul: there is no gnome-app install, i am downloading from synaptic
[02:14] <afief> is there a way to ADD items to the menus? for example to add gnomebaker
[02:14] <lhds> guys i have a apci problem and when i boot i have a bios bug my tv card doesnt read in dmesg with apci=off in grub and without it ... do you advise me to download and compile the latest kernel from kernel.org? will that solve things?

[02:15] <babo> err ... I can't remember the tool to install .debs again ? ... what's the rpm -i equiv for ubuntu ? ... also will the debian .deb for wengophone install do you reckon ?
[02:16] <afief> IRCMonkeyX: and what does it mean when gnome baker gives me a "GThread-ERROR **: GThread system may only be initialized once." error?
[02:16] <MatthewV> Dalik, i don't think so, if you want to do that use gentoo ;)
[02:17] <IRCMonkeyX> afief: i dont know, but may u open it two times ?
[02:17] <babo> come on guys ? I've forgotten how to install a .deb ... ? ... pls
[02:17] <letters_9> fyrestrtr, there is stuff on both hd's will it really do it all automatically ?
[02:17] <afief> IRCMonkeyX: nope, trying to run it for the first time after installation
[02:17] <Dalik> babo, apt-get install <debfile>
[02:17] <letters_9> without reformatting one or the other
[02:17] <Dalik> afief, did you restart your system?
[02:17] <ucordes> is there any way to search for contacts in ekiga?
[02:17] <deFrysk> babo, sudo dpkg -i <debpackage>
[02:17] <babo> Dalik: arrggh ... d'oh ... I thought there was some rpm-like tool out there for it ... thanks
[02:18] <IRCMonkeyX> afief: i really dont know, friends may help you
[02:18] <babo> deFrysk: that was the one I was thinking about ... thanks
[02:18] <Dalik> babo, you mean if you downloaded the deb file already ?
[02:18] <babo> Dalik: yes
[02:18] <Dalik> babo, or you want apt to pull the package from the internet for you?
[02:18] <letters_9> hmm arg, and most tutorials ive read seem to recommend having hte xp as slave HD
[02:18] <babo> no, dpkg will do fine ... it's not in the repos ...
[02:18] <babo> afaik
[02:18] <Jack_Sparrow> !modem > jack_sparrow
[02:19] <babo> ucordes: what's ekiga phone like ?
[02:19] <Dalik> you can double click the deb file and a app will run and allow you to install it, thats GUI and command hmm
[02:19] <letters_9> now im undecided
[02:19] <IRCMonkeyX> ompaul: now i have it, how did it gone i dont know :)
[02:19] <wthww__> !modem > wthww
[02:19] <letters_9> wont grub over right the mbr ?
[02:19] <Dalik> I think dpkg-xxx will do it for you
[02:19] <Dalik> babo, will look for it hold on
[02:19] <wthww__> !modem > wthww__
[02:19] <babo> Dalik: I'd prefer if it error'd to the command prompt
[02:19] <lhds> can i get bios information version and technical info from within linux prompt?

[02:20] <wthww__> try lspci
[02:20] <lhds> no
[02:20] <lhds> no info from lspci
[02:21] <letters_9> not many hardware vendors support accessing bios from XP, so very very few would have linux support
[02:21] <ucordes> babo: what you mean?
[02:21] <IRCMonkeyX> lhds: there is biosdecode, but i dont know use of it
[02:21] <babo> ucordes: I mean is it any good ? ... I've had it up here with skype
[02:22] <letters_9> linux will show you what is connected etc
[02:22] <Dalik> babo, dpkg -i *.deb
[02:22] <Dalik> so dpkg -i apache.deb
[02:23] <babo> Dalik: cool, got it thanks

[02:41] <soweto> what can I do??

[02:41] <franko> also libncurses
[02:41] <Dodzey> !kernel > soweto
[02:42] <soweto> oskude, I'll try that..
[02:42] <soweto> I've downloaded 2.6.16
[02:42] <soweto> and have a .config I used with it before
[02:42] <ADminS> how to reconfigure oem user ?
[02:42] <ADminS> !oem
[02:42] <soweto> (another machine)
[02:42] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[02:43] <IRCMonkeyX> lhds: why dont u use device manager ?
[02:43] <IRCMonkeyX> lhds: system/admin./dev. man.
[02:44] <lhds> device manager?
[02:44] <lhds> what that can do? i cannot change options from there and it does not scan
[02:45] <soweto> oskude >> thanks ,... problem solved
[02:45] <letters_9> IRCMonkeyX , sooo, if I just let ubantu to its own thing, it will just overwrite the mbr on the master xp hd and install Ubuntu on the unpartitioned space on the slave ?
[02:45] <oskude> soweto: roger
[02:45] <letters_9> without killing anything but the mbr on the primary xp ?
[02:45] <IRCMonkeyX> lhds:what do you wanna do ? which options ?
[02:45] <lhds> it only sends info to ubuntu database ......
[02:46] <lhds> i want to bring back original setup from where i first installed everything without reinstalling and erasing update packages
[02:46] <Dalik> letters_9, when you reinstall create 3 partitions one for root "/" one for boot "/boot" one for home "/home" theny ou wont have this problem again.
[02:46] <IRCMonkeyX> letters_9 : you should make partition manually, and make ubuntu area as ext3
[02:46] <chaizzilla> damn, it's almost creepy how sweet & easy ubuntu installed... enough to get me over my whatever resistance to complicated gui bla.. [a console wench hath been freed...] 
[02:46] <letters_9> ive done that
[02:46] <letters_9> have 50g ntfs / 30g unpartioned currently
[02:47] <lhds> irc monkey is it possible to do so?
[02:47] <letters_9> dont know if I want to make swap shouldnt 2g be enough ?
[02:47] <Dalik> letters_9, you got 2gig ram?
[02:47] <chaizzilla> tho i needs to try this again b/c the burn failed a checksum or three and eliminating that as a possibility before figuring out some of the tougher hardware would be cool
[02:47] <IRCMonkeyX> letters_9 : so where is your ubuntu, 2gb is even more for swap, mine is 1 gb, it depends on your ram
[02:47] <letters_9> but, how to set it up got 50ntfs/30ntfs and 80g ntfs (with bootable xp)
[02:47] <dmsantam> letters_9, swap is useful for hibernate (suspend to disk)
[02:47] <letters_9> 2g check
[02:47] <letters_9> ahhh
[02:48] <chaizzilla> before you know it i'll be using a computer for computer using things rather than learning how to set them up
[02:48] <letters_9> k so 3gig for swap just in case
[02:48] <IRCMonkeyX> letters_9 : how come 80 gb all ntfs ?? where is your ubuntu ?
[02:48] <letters_9> but... lots of ppl say ubunto on slave
[02:48] <letters_9> i havent installed it yet :(
[02:49] <letters_9> have 30g unpartioned
[02:49] <letters_9> just resized
[02:49] <lhds> when i make usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.15-26-386$ sudo make menuconfig  what can i do to write the changes to kernel?
[02:49] <lhds> 
[02:49] <letters_9> and it gave a funny error
[02:49] <letters_9> so i had a panic attack :)
[02:49] <letters_9> it all still work but in xp
[02:49] <letters_9> just 30gig less space lol
[02:50] <Dalik> anyone have luck getting soldat to run under wine/cedega correctly? :)
[02:50] <IRCMonkeyX> letters_9 : choose manual aprtitioning, than you should choose root part as 30 gb as ext 3 , and u need to give for swap too
[02:50] <chaizzilla> w
[02:51] <letters_9> ok, one last, what about move, do I need to move the ntfs partition ?
[02:51] <letters_9> just make it primary ?
[02:52] <[b] urk> how can i find out what partition my /boot folder is on? like (hd0,1) and so on
[02:52] <letters_9> the ntfs is set as boot, hmm ill just try installing and see if i has some extra options
[02:52] <ubuntux> fdisk -l
[02:52] <IRCMonkeyX> letters_9 : may be thi helps you , http://www.pcmech.com/show/os/903/
[02:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Is anyone good at setting up a non-win modem... pcmcia xircom using com3 and irq11 shows as pci bus2 dev 0 function 1
[02:53] <letters_9> thanks IRCMonkeyX
[02:54] <sharyari> elo
[02:54] <letters_9> Dalik , see I want to dual boot, from two HD's , one ntfs/ext3/swap the other ntfs , do you still think I need boot/system/data partitions ?
[02:54] <IRCMonkeyX> letters_9 : try for ubuntuforums too, there are many topics for it
[02:54] <letters_9> yeah, I read a lot of them but...
[02:54] <soweto> Does anyone know which apt-get package installs mkinird on 6.06
[02:55] <letters_9> i got this crazy error message and had a panic attack :)
[02:55] <IRCMonkeyX> letters_9 : be careful, dont lose your data :)
[02:55] <frandavid100> hi
[02:55] <Jack_Sparrow> letters_9:   is the bootable xp the first partition of the primary drive
[02:55] <letters_9> yeah, well it resized it ok, should be alright I imagine
[02:55] <lhds> ! jwebwk xinoukw
[02:55] <ubotu> I know nothing about jwebwk xinoukw - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu

[02:56] <lhds> ! kernel compile
[02:56] <ubotu> I know nothing about kernel compile - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[02:56] <dx> possible a stupid question, but what are the chances that we get X-Fi drivers soon?
[02:56] <frandavid100> just a question... what packages must I install in order to have flash videos?
[02:56] <lhds> !compile
[02:56] <letters_9> think ill just stick to switiching with bios atm
[02:56] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)

[02:59] <stjepan> hi

[03:00] <stjepan> why?
[03:00] <oskude> !enter
[03:00] <stjepan> oskude, yes
[03:00] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[03:00] <stjepan> oskude, can you aptitude search mplayer?
[03:00] <oskude> stjepan: i use apt-get... yes i can find mplayer... like mplayer-686
[03:01] <stjepan> but I can't :(
[03:01] <oskude> stjepan: pastebin your sources.list

[03:08] <Mooman> what`s libs?

[03:09] <ViktorMento> how could I transform a .bin to .deb?
[03:10] <gnomefreak> Mooman: what it tells you you need say it tells you you need tcl1.8 that you would apt-cache search tcl1.8 and find it in the list than sudo apt-get install <whatever the name is>
[03:10] <gnomefreak> ViktorMento: why not run hte .bin as it is
[03:10] <Shinzetsu>  how do I make a backup of my system?
[03:10] <Mooman> how can I use apt-get if I didn`t configure my network?

[03:12] <steve_Laptop> hello all
[03:12] <steve_Laptop> ? what is the command to add users to a sever
[03:13] <oskude> steve_Laptop: howabout reading "apropos user"
[03:14] <oskude> steve_Laptop: found it ?
[03:15] <steve_Laptop> Im lost sorry
[03:15] <crazy_penguin> does someone know what voltage is used by the riva tnt2 video cards? 3 volts or 1,5 volts?
[03:15] <oskude> steve_Laptop: if you type "apropos user" in terminal, it will search for commands that have something to do with users... there you would find "useradd"
[03:16] <dmsantam> crazy_penguin, #nvidia
[03:16] <steve_Laptop> k
[03:16] <dmsantam> adduser is better
[03:16] <dmsantam> rather than useradd
[03:16] <steve_Laptop> ok thanks
[03:16] <steve_Laptop> got it
[03:16] <crazy_penguin> oh
[03:16] <crazy_penguin> dmsantam: thx
[03:17] <dmsantam> crazy_penguin, no problem :)
[03:17] <acojlo> when compiling kernel, which processor type to select for intel celeron m 370 (1.5ghz)?
[03:18] <mof> !info ubotu
[03:18] <ubotu> Package ubotu does not exist in dapper
[03:18] <gdb> I've wondered why useradd is bundled when adduser is so much better.
[03:18] <neutrinomass> acojlo: 686 ...
[03:18] <oskude> gdb: bundled ?
[03:19] <neutrinomass> acojlo: I think at least - what other choices do you have ?
[03:19] <gdb> oskude: "bundled" means "comes with the OS"
[03:19] <dmsantam> acojlo, CONFIG_M686 and CONFIG_X86_PC should be set
[03:20] <oskude> gdb: and adduser doesnt ?
[03:20] <dmsantam> oskude, he's saying why bundle useradd if adduser is there anyway
[03:20] <gdb> oskude: I never implied that.
[03:21] <gdb> oskude: They both come bundled, I don't know why useradd does when adduser is better.  It's also against the Ubuntu aim of "a single best of breed tool for the job".
[03:21] <oskude> ah ok, well, isnt linux all about redunancy, like why do we have kde when we have gnome ? ;P
[03:21] <Verrona> does anyone here use wengo?
[03:21] <gdb> Ah, they don't both come in the same install.
[03:21] <lhds> !kernel
[03:21] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux'). You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[03:21] <dmsantam> useradd is kind of relied on i suspect
[03:21] <acojlo> dmsantam, I have pentium-m as a option
[03:22] <mof> For a small website would mysql or apache be easier to lean/more suitable?
[03:22] <dmsantam> i wouldn't be surprised if adduser used useradd
[03:22] <dmsantam> in fact, i'd be surprised if it didn't
[03:22] <gdb> dmsantam: I feel that vi, cp, and mkdir are better tools than useradd. ;-)  But that's me!
[03:22] <toxic> how safe is it to upgrade from dapper to edgy?
[03:22] <dmsantam> gdb, well, your name is gdb, you obviously like debugging ;)
[03:22] <gdb> toxic: It's not.  Edgy isn't a release.
[03:23] <dmsantam> toxic, unsafe
[03:23] <Jack_Sparrow> toxic: not
[03:23] <dmsantam> toxic, toxic even
[03:23] <acojlo> neutrinomass, dmsantam, are you shure for 686? I read I should set pentium-m as written at http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Intel_Celeron_M
[03:23] <oskude> adduser seems to be a script...
[03:23] <rixxon> edgy isn't supposed to be released for yet some time aye?
[03:23] <gdb> So is useradd.
[03:23] <toxic> ok
[03:23] <toxic> hehe
[03:23] <dmsantam> correct :)
[03:23] <toxic> maybe i shouldn't try it then :/
[03:23] <gdb> rixxon: That's right.
[03:23] <mof> oops mysql v postgres
[03:23] <rixxon> gdb, like, october?
[03:24] <toxic> which is sad because it contains xine-lib 1.1.2 which might contain a fix i need
[03:24] <dmsantam> acojlo, afaik pentium M is a 686
[03:24] <gdb> If you'd like to contribute to Ubuntu development via bug reports and testing, please do.  If you want to "get work done" then avoid it.
[03:24] <oskude> /usr/sbin/useradd is a bin here :/
[03:24] <epeira> www.epeira.it
[03:24] <gdb> rixxon: Yes, I do believe it's set to be released as 6.10 (ie; October).
[03:24] <oskude> and yes, adduser uses useradd
[03:24] <gdb> Ah, so adduser extends the functionality of useradd.
[03:24] <rixxon> gdb, i have the same believe
[03:24] <dmsantam> gdb, october?!
[03:24] <toxic> is there no way to use some of the packages without the trouble of it wanting to upgrade everything if i want to upgrade the rest?
[03:24] <rixxon> belief?
[03:25] <gdb> Well, useradd by itself is a bit spartan.
[03:25] <dmsantam> gdb, i thought it was december
[03:25] <Mooman> Thanks, bye.
[03:25] <toxic> dmsantam: that's what i have read too
[03:25] <gdb> So 6.12?  That works.  I thought I'd read 6.10 somewhere.
[03:25] <toxic> october that is
[03:25] <oskude> gdb: &systemcall('/usr/sbin/useradd', '-d', $home_dir, '-g', $ingroup_name, '-s', $shell, '-u', $new_uid, $new_name);
[03:25] <dmsantam> wow. 4 month release cycle
[03:25] <dmsantam> i think its december :)
[03:25] <dmsantam> !edgy
[03:25] <ubotu> edgy is the current development version of Ubuntu. Version 6.10, codename "Edgy Eft". For support head to #ubuntu+1. For its release schedule, see !schedule
[03:25] <dmsantam> !schedule
[03:25] <toxic> !schedule
[03:25] <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
[03:25] <unme> anybody help me out to work dialup using bluetooth
[03:25] <rixxon> well dapper being lts slowed down release cycle
[03:26] <gdb> Yes, 6.10 indicates an October release.
[03:26] <unme> plsssssssssssssssssss
[03:26] <gdb> dmsantam: Dapper was delayed 6 weeks.
[03:26] <dmsantam> yeah
[03:26] <dmsantam> it does seem to be october
[03:26] <unme> how is dialup using bluetooth
[03:26] <neutrinomass> acojlo: Go with that then. (686 will work, but pentium m is a better optimisation)
[03:27] <unme> anybody plsssssssssssss
[03:27] <FurryNemesis> anyone know how I can start a gnome session without compiz?
[03:27] <dmsantam> unme, dialup does not use bluetooth
[03:27] <gdb> I really like Ubuntu's versioning scheme. :)
[03:27] <unme> hey but in windows its possible
[03:28] <dmsantam> unme, you mean your modem connects to PC with bluetooth?
[03:28] <unme> yes
[03:28] <acojlo> ok, thanks
[03:28] <dmsantam> that's like having a mule with an electric starter ;)
[03:28] <dmsantam> unme, its quite possible. i have never done it though
[03:28] <unme> yep
[03:28] <nikin> sssssssssssss
[03:29] <unme> how can use .exe files in ubuntu
[03:29] <dmsantam> unme, not supposed to.. but wine may be able to
[03:29] <dmsantam> !wine > unme
[03:29] <hescalante> hi
[03:30] <unme> wat is dat

[03:31] <KenSentMe> unme: check what ubotu sent you
[03:31] <Jack_Sparrow> unme: Why are you trying to run windows programs in Linux
[03:31] <unme> bcoz i got a sony ericsson cd
[03:31] <srn> ...
[03:31] <Jack_Sparrow> unme: Lots of great software is available without using M$ programs
[03:32] <elmargol> Hi, I search a common way how to add a url handler to a linux system.
[03:32] <mof> Xandros (or somthing) is supposed to be very good at running windows apps, you have to pay $80 for it tho.
[03:32] <srn> a sony ericsson cd will often conatin software especially written for windows for communication between the phone and windows.. there is alot of software for linux that will do the same
[03:32] <unme> but how can istaal my sonyericsson pc suite
[03:32] <srn> u don't need pc suite
[03:32] <acojlo> unme, you can got evolution adress book and multisync for se cell phones
[03:32] <unme> den how
[03:32] <elmargol> Atm, I use gconftool-2 and add entrys to desktop/gnome/url-handlers/, isn't there a general way to do this?
[03:33] <unme> how the multisyc works
[03:33] <unme> i want 2 surf internet
[03:33] <unme> using my phone
[03:34] <srn> ..why?
[03:34] <srn> i suppose you mean through bluetooth
[03:34] <acojlo> unme, you can set up gprs
[03:34] <unme> i've got dat option only to surf internet
[03:34] <srn> ... why!?
[03:34] <srn> that makes no sence
[03:34] <acojlo> snr, maybe he wants to be on the beach and surf
[03:34] <srn> ahh
[03:35] <acojlo> surf the net :)
[03:35] <unme> sorry im in a critcal stage
[03:35] <srn> i see
[03:35] <srn> i thought he ment the other way around
[03:35] <unme> surf the net only yaar not beach
[03:35] <acojlo> people, stop asking why and start producing answers (if you have the knowledge) :)
[03:35] <unme> anybody pls help me out
[03:36] <patrick_king> !ntfs
[03:36] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[03:36] <srn> oh right.. didn't ntfs got writeable recently?
[03:37] <acojlo> unme, you can set up GPRS over bluetooth connection with your se cell phone
[03:37] <patrick_king> has it
[03:37] <unme> i ve got gprs
[03:37] <toxic> aargh, i feel so tempted to upgrade to edgy, it contains so many upgrades i want :/ but it's not worth a broken system
[03:37] <unme> but im not able to access it on my pc
[03:37] <mopflite> toxic: what upgrades in particular?
[03:37] <toxic> libxine and the kernel
[03:38] <acojlo> unme, multisync is very easy. You install evolution mail program (like ms office) and install multisync packages. It's easy to set up and then you do synchronisation with few clicks (works for my t610)
[03:38] <toxic> libxine because http auth, and kernel because it might contain fixes to my sata and sdcardreader
[03:38] <acojlo> unme, multisync can do sync over bluetooth or IR or Serial port
[03:38] <patrick_king> is there a flight of edgy out
[03:38] <srn> hm.. can i get quicktime play in firefox?
[03:39] <toxic> srn: using mplayer plugin and win32codecs
[03:39] <toxic> maybe
[03:39] <acojlo> toxic, which kernel is in edgy?
[03:39] <toxic> .17
[03:39] <toxic> i think
[03:39] <toxic> i read
[03:39] <unme> i hope multisync cant get internet
[03:39] <acojlo> unme, no
[03:40] <acojlo> unme, for internet you use standard ppp dialer, but before that you have to set up bluetooth connection - it will automaticaly set up your cell phone modem
[03:40] <acojlo> unme, you have to use connection parameters given by your gsm operator
[03:41] <unme> how to set blue tooth
[03:41] <acojlo> unme, most probably you have just to plug bluetooth adapter into your computer's usb port
[03:41] <unme> i cant see the bluetooth in ppp
[03:42] <unme> yes its plugged in
[03:42] <acojlo> well, read the manual at ubuntu wiki about GPRS - there you have few steps to complete installation
[03:42] <acojlo> unme, you will not see bluetooth in ppp, you will see there your cell phone modem
[03:43] <acojlo> port for cell phone modem is something like a /dev/rfcomm0
[03:43] <iratik> Having trouble converting from DHCP to static in dapper - anyone know of a tutorial
[03:43] <unme> cellphone modem which software is that ppp
[03:43] <unme> is it gnome dialer
[03:44] <acojlo> iratik, you have networking option in system menu. Just go through menus - it's safest way
[03:44] <iratik> ubuntu-server
[03:45] <longwave> iratik: "man 5 interfaces" has the syntax for /etc/network/interfaces, which is the file you need to edit
[03:45] <oskude> iratik: man interfaces
[03:45] <POVaddct> iratik: man 5 interfaces, $EDITOR /etc/network/interfaces
[03:45] <iratik> Yeah, I'm not sure what I am doing wrong - i'll look closer at the manual and get back
[03:45] <FurryNemesis> Hi all  -  I need to kill Compiz without b0rking xgl - would the right terminal command be killall -compiz?
[03:45] <POVaddct> iratik: what have you done so far and what went wrong?
[03:46] <longwave> iratik: basically change the interface from "dhcp" to "static" then add the address, network, broadcast, etc. options underneath
[03:46] <unme> acojlo, pls help me out
[03:46] <srn> ps aux|grep compiz
[03:46] <srn> and then kill -9 pid
[03:46] <FurryNemesis> thank you
[03:46] <iratik> Well, I switched commented out auto and dhcp and did iface eth0 inet static, with the address, netmask, broadcast and gateway
[03:46] <iratik> This is the first system it hasnt worked on
[03:47] <longwave> srn: the quicker way of doing that is "killall -9 compiz"
[03:47] <iratik> I think I need a more verbose output from ifconfig
[03:47] <longwave> iratik: you probably don't want to comment out auto
[03:47] <longwave> iratik: "auto" means to bring the interface up when the system boots, which is probably what you want
[03:47] <iratik> Ah
[03:47] <POVaddct> iratik: eth0 must remain in auto
[03:48] <iratik> Bingo, perhaps if I uncomment auto and restart with my exsting settings
[03:48] <acojlo> unme, wait
[03:48] <unme> ok yaar
[03:48] <acojlo> unme, read this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=111455
[03:48] <toodles> Hello everyone. I know it's not ubuntu specific but maybe you can tell me where to ask. I'm trying to use rpl to search and replace some code in multiple files I have. It works fine as long as I don't include spaces in the two strings. Here is the command I'm running:      rpl -w -R -v `echo 'ec';` `echo '<!--ec-->';` ./      I've read the man pages and googled for it but don't know how.
[03:48] <[cro] smiley> anyone from croatia?
[03:49] <FurryNemesis> hmm, no processes killed
[03:49] <iratik> toodles: Wouldn't that be easier with sed?
[03:49] <acojlo> unme, read also this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothDialup
[03:49] <iratik> thanks
[03:49] <toodles> iratik, I don't know. Never used sed. I'll check it out.
[03:49] <FurryNemesis> ok, nm . thanks for help
[03:49] <unme> thanku so much yaar
[03:50] <jingcleovil> helo
[03:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Can anyone suggest a reason that Knoppix found my pcmcia Xircom hardware modem and set it up without any help and I cant get Ubuntu to even try it.
[03:50] <jingcleovil> I am a new user of Ubuntu
[03:50] <acojlo> Well, I think that Ubuntu do not have well structured help documentation
[03:50] <acojlo> you go there and there ...
[03:51] <Tutter> hmm
[03:51] <iratik> That sounds like an attack, I will say that knoppix seems to support autodetecting network interfaces and setting them up better
[03:51] <Tutter> wonder why my latop doesn't actually power down when I use shutdown ..power stays on
[03:51] <Mikolan> woot im gonna install from a 4x CD-RW now ;D
[03:51] <Jack_Sparrow> Not attacking Ub, I have been here working with Ub for quite awhile...
[03:52] <jingcleovil> The problem of mine is I fully installed the OS Server Type but I coould see a GUI. It displays me a black screen look like DOS
[03:52] <jingcleovil> what wrong with that?
[03:52] <iratik> jingcleovil: Servers don't have guis usually
[03:52] <longwave> jingcleovil: the server version comes with no GUI by default
[03:52] <antma121> I am trying to print to a network printer using U6.06 desktop, but it is not working
[03:52] <POVaddct> Jack_Sparrow: does it help if you modprobe serial_cs manually?
[03:52] <jingcleovil> oh
[03:52] <iratik> You don't need a GUI to run a server, in fact - it wastes resources
[03:52] <acojlo> what does it mean when you say "it sounds like an attack"?
[03:52] <frandavid100> hi
[03:52] <Jack_Sparrow> I know modems can be problematic..
[03:52] <srn> huh
[03:53] <jingcleovil> so this means I will only work more on command lines?
[03:53] <acojlo> programers are problematic :)
[03:53] <srn> why do you know that, i've never experienced problem with modems
[03:53] <jingcleovil> is that it?
[03:53] <toodles> iratik, Had a quick look into sed. Looks very complicated. rpl seems simple in comparison: rpl search_sring replace_string ./dir_to_search
[03:53] <iratik> sounds like an attach like coming here just to criticize the difference between ubuntu and another distribution
[03:53] <POVaddct> acojlo: no. hardware is.
[03:53] <frandavid100> can you help me? what must I install to get flash working?
[03:53] <toodles> iratik, how would I do something similar with sed?
[03:53] <acojlo> ok :)
[03:53] <longwave> jingcleovil: yes, when i run my servers, i only use the command line
[03:53] <antma121> The printer returns "Request Entity Too Large"
[03:53] <longwave> !flash > frandavid100
[03:53] <antma121> What does that mean?
[03:53] <srn> use automatix
[03:54] <jingcleovil> oh ok thanks for the info
[03:54] <Jack_Sparrow> I have seen modems be a major pain for many people, except for hardware modems on com 1
[03:54] <jingcleovil> I rather choise an another one
[03:54] <jingcleovil> OS
[03:54] <frandavid100> thanks longwave
[03:54] <acojlo> anyway ubuntu desktop is prettier and faster than xp!
[03:54] <longwave> jingcleovil: if you want a GUI use the desktop CD instead
[03:54] <POVaddct> Jack_Sparrow: you mean winmodems. yes, they are the most ugly hardware around.
[03:54] <jingcleovil> I mean Linux Distro
[03:54] <Jack_Sparrow> srn... please feel free to help me get this pcmcia hardware non-winmodem working with ub
[03:54] <antma121> The same message is returned regardless of printer connection type
[03:55] <acojlo> where to find some fancy gnome themes?
[03:55] <Jack_Sparrow> com3 irq11
[03:55] <POVaddct> Jack_Sparrow: plain old modems connected to the serial port just work.
[03:55] <acojlo> themes polished till perfection
[03:55] <Jack_Sparrow> gnome-look.org
[03:55] <antma121> Does anyone know how to get ipp printing to work?
[03:55] <Jack_Sparrow> pov I agree....
[03:55] <POVaddct> Jack_Sparrow: dmesg | grep ttyS
[03:56] <Jack_Sparrow> POVaddct: You want that on the knoppix system that works or should I boot to ub
[03:56] <POVaddct> Jack_Sparrow: ubuntu
[03:56] <antma121> Are there any known issues with network printing from Ub6.06 desktop?
[03:56] <Jack_Sparrow> I'll boot Ub on the lappy
[03:57] <iratik> toodles: After reading through the documentation I've determined that your method would be easier than sed- just cuz I've never used sed on more than one file - and your method apparently has a directory argument - props
[03:57] <Johnny> does anyone know where i can get the original human icons for theme manager?
[03:58] <Johnny> i updated and now it has these orange icons
[03:58] <acojlo> I'm on laptop, and Fujitsu Siemens support told me they designed this laptop according to microsoft specifications. But it works better on Ubuntu except three problems: via vn800 graphic chip hardware acceleration, fan control and, system suspend
[03:58] <frandavid100> longwave it says: "Macromedia's Flash Player is only available for i386-based machines"
[03:58] <elmargol> Johnny: choose LegacyHuman
[03:59] <kihai> Hi, I'm looking for a way to delete the firefox cache for all registered users. I'm running Edubuntu with LTSP and there a few hundred user accounts. The most space is taken by the firefox cache. How can I delete all the caches automatically or better, set the max cache size for all users...?
[03:59] <Johnny> i did elmargol
[03:59] <frandavid100> if I have a 686 kernel, can't I play flash?
[03:59] <toxic> yes
[03:59] <toodles> iratik, yes, but the problem is I can't seem to include spaces in the strings.
[03:59] <longwave> frandavid100: you can play flash on any 32-bit x86 platform, so 686 would work
[04:00] <POVaddct> toodles: spaces need to be quoted on the command line
[04:00] <SteveMyers> Hi everyone
[04:00] <toodles> POVaddct, can you give me an example. I'm sure I've tried but it didn't work.
[04:00] <toxic> kihai: maybe use some kind of quota system
[04:00] <toxic> so they have to remove it themselves
[04:00] <POVaddct> toodles: like\ this   or    "like this"
[04:01] <SteveMyers> Does anyone here know how to get the D-Link DWLG610 to work on Ubuntu Dapper?
[04:01] <SteveMyers> DWLG510
[04:01] <iratik> get the windows drivers and lookup ndiswrapper
[04:01] <frandavid100> longwave: it only says to install flashplugin-nonfree, which I have
[04:01] <Jack_Sparrow> POVaddct: got it ttyS5 at I/O 0x4080 (irq = 11) is a 16550a
[04:02] <frandavid100> and yet flash doesn't work
[04:02] <Johnny> how can i manually get the old human icons back?
[04:02] <SteveMyers> iratik, could you explain in small detail?
[04:02] <dx> still no X-Fi drivers for Ubuntu?
[04:02] <Johnny> they arent there anymore
[04:02] <Johnny> now all i have is these orange ones
[04:02] <kihai> I already do. The space for each user is limited to 100Megs, but I forgot to adjust the cache size of ff to 20MB before adding all users. So I'm looking for a way to do this afterwards for all of them
[04:02] <POVaddct> Jack_Sparrow: sudo screen /dev/ttyS5        then type in    ATZ (and return)
[04:03] <longwave> frandavid100: once you have that package installed, flash should work inside firefox
[04:03] <frandavid100> nope it doesn't
[04:03] <acojlo> maybe better sun java?
[04:03] <toodles> POVaddct, right. I'll try that. Thanks. The original search string is "echo 'ec';" without the double quotes. The 'echo' word and the single quotes and the semi-colon seem to be causing problems too though. Which of these need to be escaped?
[04:03] <longwave> frandavid100: try "sudo update-flashplugin" from a terminal?
[04:03] <Jack_Sparrow> POVaddct: It is talking to the modem... came back Ok
[04:03] <Jack_Sparrow> How do I get ttyS5 into Kppp
[04:04] <POVaddct> Jack_Sparrow: you end the screen session with   ctrl-a k
[04:04] <POVaddct> Jack_Sparrow: i don't know kppp. i use neither gnome nor kde.
[04:04] <Jack_Sparrow> POVaddct: done
[04:04] <Johnny> does anydoes anyone know i can get the original icons back?
[04:05] <frandavid100> longwave: I get return: 214: Illegal number: -1
[04:06] <Jack_Sparrow> POVaddct: Kubuntu
[04:06] <longwave> frandavid100: humm, i dont know what that means. try uninstalling and then reinstalling the flashplugin package? or search the ubuntu forums for that error message
[04:06] <Jack_Sparrow> or Ubuntu
[04:06] <Jack_Sparrow> POVaddct: So we know it works...
[04:06] <frandavid100> it's alright longwave, I downloaded the official flash version from their webpage and it works now
[04:06] <POVaddct> Jack_Sparrow: yes
[04:07] <POVaddct> Jack_Sparrow: it's more like a kppp config problem now
[04:07] <frandavid100> guess the one in the edgy repos is faulty
[04:07] <scrilla_> anyone around?
[04:07] <Jack_Sparrow> POVaddct: Now to get it working in a way the wife will be able to use :)
[04:07] <Tutter> flash and ubuntu/ff don't get along
[04:07] <iratik> I'm having trouble finding what program does , and it has a common name that google can't seem to figure out
[04:08] <iratik> what does quota do?
[04:08] <Ropechoborra> Someone can help me with a scanner problem?, i got a epson stylus cx4700, i've installed the printer and its working, but when i try to open XSane for scanning it says Not device found or somethng like that.. and i just cant make it work =(
[04:08] <POVaddct> Jack_Sparrow: hehe
[04:08] <neutrinomass> frandavid100: #ubuntu+1 for edgy support
[04:08] <Tutter> quota lets you set up a quota system for the users
[04:08] <toodles> POVaddct, I've tried that. It's still not working :-(
[04:08] <scrilla_> http://www.devrandom.org/p/paster.php?id=75
[04:08] <iratik> for disk space usage?
[04:08] <Jack_Sparrow> POVaddct: I wonder if there is a kppp config file I can manually edit
[04:08] <Tutter> ..restrict their directory size so they can't use 2gigs
[04:08] <scrilla_> what could be causing that error?
[04:08] <Johnny> is there anyway i can go back to the original human theme?
[04:08] <Jack_Sparrow> POVaddct: Really really appreciate thie help
[04:08] <Johnny> like can i mark it for removal and reinstall it in syanptic maybe?
[04:08] <POVaddct> Jack_Sparrow: no problem
[04:09] <tuxtux> ciao
[04:09] <Johnny> http://www.bolt.com/simplyjohny/audio/1413030
[04:09] <frandavid100> I'll bear in mind, neutrinomass
[04:09] <POVaddct> toodles: i don't know rpl
[04:09] <Johnny> sorry wrong chan
[04:09] <kihai> iratik: quota allows you to limit the available disk space on a per user base. So you can define for each user how much space he is allowed to use on the harddrive.
[04:10] <visik7> still not able to play http://stream.qtv.apple.com/events/aug/wwdc_2006/m_wwdc_2006_350_ref.mov any clue ?
[04:10] <Dimensions> any one into TCL scripting ?
[04:10] <toodles> POVaddct, Would you know how to go though multiple files recursively with sed? I can't seem to find how to.
[04:11] <Johnny> does anyone know what the original human icons are called or where i could download them manually?
[04:11] <dapet> Anyone with experience in Netgear WG111v2 (tried nearly everyting, without result) :(
[04:11] <kihai> OK, another question regarding nfs. Is it possible (without bigger problems arising) to mount the /home directory over nfs from a remote computer, so that users can either log in locally or remote?
[04:11] <jbroome> Tutter: don't foget QUITS
[04:12] <mjr> kihai, it's not only possible, it's used often in larger settings
[04:12] <POVaddct> toodles: first make a backup copy of the directory you want to sed
[04:12] <LadyNikon> Tutter: ?
[04:12] <mjr> kihai, in fact, my SO currently uses nfs-homes from my box
[04:12] <kihai> toodles: You could use xargs
[04:13] <toodles> POVaddct, ok, done. Then what?
[04:13] <Splix> hi. Got an Acer al1916 widescreen lcd, but i can't get it up to its recommanded resolution? Its 1440x900.. but when i try it, 900 is to high. High like i have to move the mouse to see the startmenu... Anyone got ann idee?
[04:13] <sunnzy13> I have compiled a hello world program.
[04:13] <toodles> kihai, Hmmm. I'll look into it, thanks.
[04:13] <sunnzy13> But ./hello says: "bash: ./hello: Permission denied"
[04:13] <scrilla_> how do i reinstall xorg real quick?
[04:14] <sunnzy13> Is the execution of home made programs disabled in terminals?
[04:14] <J4t> no
[04:14] <POVaddct> toodles: then the command line would be something like: find your_directory -type f -exec sed -i~ -e 's/search/replace/g' {} \;
[04:14] <kihai> My problem is: I use LTSP but in the Edubuntu version there is no local device access. (usb-sticks) So I want to take a locally installed Ubuntu on one PC with /home mounted over nfs as well as a copy of passwd, shadow and group and allow users to log in on that one PC to upload/download files to their homedirectories. You think that's possible without corrupting anythin?
[04:14] <J4t> sunnzy13: chmod +x hello
[04:15] <toodles> POVaddct,  thanks I'll try that
[04:15] <J4t> to make it executable
[04:15] <POVaddct> toodles: sed will make backup copies of the changed files with ~ appended to the name
[04:15] <kihai> mjr: what's SO?
[04:15] <sunnzy13> J4t, it is already -rwxr-xr-x 1 sunnz sunnz 17701 2006-08-08 23:59 hello
[04:15] <sunnzy13> However
[04:15] <toodles> POVaddct, Ok, thanks.
[04:15] <mjr> kihai, Significant Other
[04:15] <sunnzy13> ldd hello says: not a dynamic executable
[04:15] <loststar4545> Hello i am getting no sound in world of warcraft  i get this error when i start  wow in console ast it is starting also when i  try to configure  the audio tab it pops up
[04:16] <sunnzy13> What does that mean?
[04:16] <loststar4545> ALSA lib seq_hw.c:456:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory
[04:16] <J4t> sunnzy13: over my head :)
[04:16] <mjr> kihai, yes that would be possible
[04:16] <J4t> cant really tell
[04:16] <epirsch> Hi, I've just installed MySQL 5 using Synaptic Package Manager. I've setup the root password. Now my I launch the GUI MySQL Administrator, whenever I go to "User Administration" the UI freeze and I have to kill the application. Any idea why?
[04:16] <Dimensions> any one knows how can i use tcl script to check remote server for software update and downloading it
[04:16] <scrilla_> whats a friendly command line based package manager for ubuntu?
[04:17] <void^> sunnzy13: 'file hello'
[04:17] <Johnny> scrilla_, aptitude
[04:17] <kihai> mjr: Thanks :) I already tried to do this nfs /home thing, but when I logged in there were a bunch of errors regarding not accessible files. Probably files not stored in /home. But then I'd have to make a complete mirror of my root dir, or wouldn't I?
[04:17] <sunnzy13> void^, hello: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.0, not stripped
[04:17] <scrilla_> Johnny: besides aptitude?
[04:18] <Jack_Sparrow> POVaddct:  I got it... fyi just needed to symlink it     ln -s /dev/ttyS5 /dev/modem   and all is well... you are the best.. thanks
[04:18] <POVaddct> Jack_Sparrow: cool
[04:18] <Johnny> not sure i always use aptitude
[04:18] <Jack_Sparrow> I knew I got it working last year..
[04:18] <kihai> mjr: So how do you make sure all the needed files are there when logging in via nfs?
[04:18] <Dimensions> Jack_Sparrow: do you work in Tcl scripting ?
[04:18] <mjr> kihai, yeah, maybe some things weren't installed in that system that were in the original one
[04:18] <Tutter> gah
[04:18] <toodles> POVaddct, Would you mind looking at the command I entered?
[04:18] <Tutter> how do u ignore joins/parts
[04:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Dimensions: sorry no
[04:18] <mjr> kihai, install the same software packages on both
[04:19] <void^> sunnzy13: 'ldd hello' shouldn't say not a dynamic executable then
[04:19] <sunnzy13> void^, so you can't tell what's wrong with it?
[04:19] <Magus_X> anyone knows how i can configure my microphone on ubuntu?
[04:19] <Magus_X> because it is not working...
[04:19] <Dimensions> no problem Jack_Sparrow...
[04:19] <kihai> mjr: Hmm, OK, probably oversaw this. I'll give it another try once I get some user-free time here... :)
[04:19] <void^> sunnzy13: how did you create it?
[04:20] <letters_9> yay all installed fine... need dialup working though, says hcf rockwell in device but pppdconfig didnt seem to work
[04:20] <thomas> ok

[04:21] <thomas> is it down today again?
[04:21] <sunnzy13> void^, gnatmake hello.adb
[04:21] <thomas> anyone?
[04:21] <void^> sunnzy13: eh, i have no idea what language that is. i'd recommend asking on some irc channel/forum related to that.
[04:22] <Magus_X> sorry about my bad english
[04:22] <sunnzy13> void^ its ada.
[04:23] <scrilla_> how do i completely remove X from ubuntu

[04:29] <_Placid> greetings
[04:29] <schnak37> Hi :D
[04:29] <Stoney47> morning guys, anyone here have experience with wireless setup?
[04:30] <_Placid> Stoney: what sort of wireless setup?
[04:30] <captbrian> im doing that right now Stoney47, heh
[04:31] <Stoney47> trying to setup my laptop with a linksyswpc54gcs
[04:31] <Dalik> anyone know what the env program opens?
[04:31] <Dalik> I want to edit this file by hand
[04:31] <Stoney47> i got the drivers installed, but the darn thing just wont come on
[04:31] <_Placid> Stoney: try, as root, /etc/init.d/pcmcia restart
[04:32] <_Placid> That will restart the pcmcia services on your machine
[04:32] <_Placid> If you're using dapper drake, I believe the init scripts have changed
[04:33] <Stoney47> thanks, ill give it a shot
[04:33] <tristanmike> how do I change permissions on a full directory so that the owner is not "root" anymore but me ? I installed Planeshift and it installs as root, so i can't run it unless I use "sudo" in the terminal.  it doesn't have a ~./planeshift directory
[04:34] <kihai> Next problem...does anyone know in which config file I can set the umask for all users so that newly created files are only visible to the own user and group. In /etc/profile I already have set umask=027, but that's not enough, obviously
[04:34] <tristanmike> would it be "chown -R tristanmike:Tristan Mike" ?
[04:34] <scrilla_> how do i force the removal of a package?
[04:34] <_Placid> kihai: you need to realise what files debian uses to set the environment
[04:34] <kihai> tristanmike: sudo chown -R yourname.yourgroup /name_of_directory
[04:34] <_Placid> I believe it checks /etc/profile then ~/.bashrc
[04:35] <antma121> how do i print to a network (ipp) printer from ub6.06?
[04:35] <tristanmike> kihai: how do I know my group ?
[04:35] <kihai> tristanmike: It's either the same as your loginname or users, I assume. But you can look it up in /etc/passwd
[04:35] <kditty> what is the program called that i need to install to access my ubuntu shares from windows?
[04:35] <_Placid> tristanmike: type: groups
[04:36] <kihai> _Placid: I'm using ubuntu (or better edubuntu, but that shouldn't make a difference)
[04:36] <antma121> kditty: samba
[04:36] <_Placid> kditty: samba is the software. smb is the command
[04:36] <tristanmike> kihai: so it would be "sudo chown -R tristanmike.tristanmike /opt/planeshift" ?
[04:36] <scrilla_> how do i force the remove of a package?
[04:37] <kditty> ok, i have that but it doesnt seem to be working, i set it up once but then i lost my HDD so i have to redo it. thanks Antma121 and _Placid
[04:37] <_Placid> scrilla_: man dpkg
[04:37] <antma121> Does anyone know what "lp: Request Entity Too Large" means when trying to print?
[04:37] <captbrian> is wpa supplicant still the way to get wpa running?
[04:37] <kihai> tristanmike: yes, but are you sure you didn't install planeshift as the superuser? Because usually it should install itself in your homedir
[04:37] <antma121> kditty: smb.conf has many many many options....
[04:38] <Stoney47> captbrian: yup
[04:38] <captbrian> cheers
[04:38] <_Placid> kditty: samba is a dark art :)
[04:38] <tristanmike> kihai: I did install it as a super user, because it doesn't contain a ~./planeshift directory, it's still an alpha game so I'm sure they're ironing it out
[04:38] <kditty> antma121, i thought that i used a different program to access linux from windows last time. my windows shares are available on ubuntu, but my ubuntu shares arent in windows
[04:38] <tristanmike> kihai: I have to install as a super user
[04:39] <antma121> _Placid: at least Ub6 will speak smbfs; Fedora Core 5 doesn't!
[04:39] <antma121> kditty: There is a lot to know about differnt methods of authenitcation, browsing,
[04:40] <antma121> kditty: etc, from different flavors of Windows, which are all different.
[04:40] <kihai> tristanmike: hmm, ok, but I'm not sure if just changing the owner of /opt/planeshift is enough. You can give it a try, but I think it would be better to just always run it as superuser. You could make a starter and use gksudo planeshift as command...
[04:40] <thomas> are the repos down?
[04:40] <antma121> still looking for a networked printer guru...
[04:40] <tristanmike> kihai: it's ok to run games as super user ?
[04:41] <catfox> hi all - in regular expressions, does anyone know how to specify "five or more 'X' characters"? i know +X is one or more, but not what i need
[04:41] <kihai> tristanmike: You have a point there. But at least it gets all the ressources it wants then... :)
[04:42] <timalot> kditty: the main option to make it easier in smb.conf is security=share
[04:42] <tristanmike> kihai: ok, so adding gksudo to the menu entry worked fine :D
[04:42] <kditty> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605&highlight=network+windows , is this howto pretty accurate?
[04:44] <Jack_Sparrow> I know there are bug reports, is there a way to report how we got a particular piece of hardware to work..?
[04:44] <Dr_Willis> Jack_Sparrow,  theres the hardware forums
[04:44] <timalot> kditty: u could do it that way or u could save your self some time and use the security=share way
[04:44] <Jack_Sparrow> !hardware
[04:44] <ubotu> For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[04:45] <kditty> timalot, im not sure what you mean
[04:45] <timarn85> i am having trouble getting my ubuntu installation to boot. My problem is identical to the problem described here: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1315186 , but the events leading up to the problem are different
[04:46] <Jack_Sparrow> Dr_Willis: there isnt even a catagory for modems..
[04:46] <kihai> tristanmike: of course one shouldn't run games as su, but if that's the only way to get it to work, and you're not playing on a productivity system, that'd be the way I'd do it. But maybe there's some help from the planeshift developers available?
[04:46] <timalot> kditty: that link u pasted ... is if u want a complicated setup... do u want that.. or do u just want to share a few directories?
[04:46] <kditty> share a few, mainly music and pictures
[04:47] <kditty> about 5-10 folders at the most timalot
[04:47] <sethk> timarn85, most likely you can go into command editing mode at the boot prompt and change root=/dev/hdc1 to whatever the root really should be
[04:47] <Dr_Willis> !dialup
[04:47] <ubotu> You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DialupModemHowto
[04:48] <Dr_Willis> Jack_Sparrow,   coul;d edit that wiki page. :P
[04:48] <tristanmike> kihai: the said it was due to the fact that there was no ~./planeshift directory, plus I'm using xgl and I need to run "XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1" to get direct rendering working too so I think changing ownership is the way to go
[04:48] <Dr_Willis> Jack_Sparrow,  or make ya own page.
[04:48] <tristanmike> s/the/they
[04:48] <timarn85> sethk: well, i never changed the root in the first place, and i think (not sure about this) that it should be booting from /dev/hdc1
[04:48] <Stoney47> placid, still no dice after pcmia restart
[04:49] <kihai> tristanmike: If it works... I think I installed planeshift a while ago, but couldn't get it to work, too, so maybe I'll give it another try
[04:49] <unme> im not able to create my blue dialup

[04:50] <GBK> anyone know how ti import a .pst file
[04:50] <timalot> kditty: ok ... in smb.conf in the [global]  section make sure it reads security=user .... comment out all the default share definitions (if there are any), then add your shares like [myshare]  path = path_to_files_that_the_smbd_daemon_can_read available=yes browseable=yes public=yes and writable=yes (if you want that)
[04:50] <tristanmike> kihai: well, changing me to the owner killed my sound for the game :S  <--frustrated :P
[04:50] <oskude> GBK: whats a .pst file ?
[04:50] <timalot> kditty: restart your smbd ... sudo /etc/rc.d/samba restart ... and you are away laughing
[04:50] <tristanmike> kihai: I changed it back to root and I get sound again >.<
[04:51] <GBK> oskude: Outlook mail archive
[04:51] <kihai> tristanmike: By the way: What other 3d native games do you run? I'm on a quest to forget about windows, and any good games installable on linux would ease my pain... :)
[04:51] <kditty> my smb.conf is empty, is that normal?
[04:51] <tristanmike> kihai: Neverwinter Nights, Doom 3
[04:51] <oskude> GBK: oh... maybe outlook can export to something open standard...
[04:51] <tristanmike> kihai: I use Cedega to run Starcraft, Diablo 2 and BF2
[04:51] <timalot> kditty: i think there should be something in there... the default
[04:52] <antma121> kditty:  Certainly not!  If you want smb to do anything.
[04:52] <kditty> nope, completly empty
[04:52] <kihai> tristanmike: Maybe you could try to add yourself to the group *whateveritiscalled* the sound device uses...
[04:52] <GBK> oskude: cannot do that. don't have a windows machine anymore
[04:52] <letters_9> kditty : tremulous is good, quake 3 engine, and its free
[04:52] <unme> anybody pls help to connect to net via gprs using bluetooth
[04:52] <tristanmike> kihai: how do I know what that is, I'm still very much a noob, but a quick learner :P
[04:52] <unme> plsssssssssssssssss
[04:52] <letters_9> like enemy territory
[04:52] <kihai> tristanmike: BF2 would be nice. But I don't own cedega. you think it would work on wine as well?
[04:53] <preglow> the dapper installed installed lilo for me, saying that grub doesn't support xfs. but apparently it does, and i want to switch to grub. any quick pointers on how to do the replacing?
[04:53] <tristanmike> kihai: pm ?
[04:54] <timarn85> can anyone help me with an ubuntu install that gets stuck while booting?
[04:54] <letters_9> some ppl manage to get hardware bans on punkbuster from emulating games under wine/cedega
[04:54] <unme> anybody pls help me to connect to net via gprs using bluetooth
[04:54] <unme> plssssssssss
[04:54] <kihai> tristanmike: I'm trying hard to loose my n00b status just now, so I don't know really, but you can have a look at the groups with cat /etc/passwd. You should find it there. Maybe it's sth called esd or alsa or so
[04:55] <[Ex0r] > err, what the hell is up with this mouse
[04:55] <kihai> tristanmike: Sorry, it's not in /etc/passwd, but you can see it with sudo groups
[04:56] <tristanmike> kihai: LOL, it's just "root"
[04:56] <neutrinomass> I have created a GPG key and I have used it to sign the code of conduct. Now I reinstalled Ubuntu and want to setup gpg to use my key - how do I do that ?
[04:56] <kihai> tristanmike: ahem, see, I'm still struggling. Wait a second, I'll look it up
[04:57] <avu> neutrinomass: copying the $HOME/.gnupg directory from you old installation will do just fine
[04:57] <tristanmike> kihai: well, the problem may be that I left the "games" group and just changed "root" so I may need to "chown -Rv tristanmike:tristanmike /opt/planeshift"
[04:57] <kihai> tristanmike: with cat /etc/group as su I found a group called audio. Maybe it's that one?
[04:58] <neutrinomass> avu: Yes I thought of that but there must be a more "correct" way (i.e. I want to be able to do it even if I don't have the old .gnupg around )
[04:59] <timalot> tristanmike: u can use the system->administration->users and groups ... to give users permissions to use sound devices
[04:59] <kihai> tristanmike: I don't know what the games group does, but adding yourself to it as well as to audio (or alsa, who knows) could help
[04:59] <tristanmike> kihai: "audio:x:29:tristanmike"
[05:00] <avu> neutrinomass: well, copying just the secring.gpg and the pubring.gpg would be enough, too
[05:00] <mooni> Hi, is it possible to send an command to an screened application? i want to send 'echo hello' to my screen 'test'.
[05:00] <avu> neutrinomass: I would consider copying the whole direcory more 'correct', though :)
[05:00] <timalot> mooni: screened?
[05:00] <kihai> tristanmike: Maybe planeshift still uses some files not in the planeshift dir and still owned by root. That would prevent it from having access to them
[05:00] <mooni> screen -dmS hello /bin/bash
[05:00] <neutrinomass> avu: Isn't there someway to just tell gpg "here's my secret key, here's the public, use them" ?
[05:00] <mooni> i want to send something to the screen "hello"
[05:01] <tristanmike> kihai: yeah, I'll check
[05:01] <avu> neutrinomass: well, maybe, don't know. I just copy my .gnupg dir around every time I reinstall or change distros.
[05:01] <kihai> tristanmike: OK, I'll have to leave now. Work's over! :) Bye and have fun playing
[05:01] <avu> neutrinomass: it works perfectly
[05:01] <neutrinomass> avu: Ok, thanks
[05:01] <timalot> mooni: probably if u know what terminal its running on
[05:02] <mooni> timalot: how can i look that?
[05:02] <timalot> mooni: i havent used screen in a while.... ill take a look...
[05:03] <kobalt> hi there I am trying to login onto my ssh server via rsa keys ... but I get this error msg in my /var/log/auth.log
[05:03] <kobalt> Aug 8 16:51:53 phynix sshd[8985] : error: buffer_get_ret: trying to get more bytes 4 than in buffer 0
[05:03] <kobalt> Aug 8 16:51:53 phynix sshd[8985] : fatal: buffer_get_int: buffer error
[05:03] <kobalt> what could be the problem ther?
[05:03] <kobalt> e
[05:05] <mooni> timalot: u find anything useful?
[05:05] <preglow> anyone know how to save a gnome session as was possible in pre-dapper ubuntus?
[05:06] <timalot> mooni: there seems to be an echo command look in man screen for echo
[05:06] <Shinzetsu> how do I go about installing my webcam?
[05:06] <ccooke> Anyone had segfaults with GLX under nvidia?
[05:07] <Shinzetsu> wait I think I have it nevermind
[05:07] <harisund> What tool can I use over the command line to check my disk partitions and free space and stuff?
[05:08] <magus_x> well, its normal
[05:08] <Noookie> gparted harisund
[05:08] <magus_x> a shortcut dont work because it haev
[05:08] <ccooke> harisund: df. 'df -h' is the 'friendliest' way you can use
[05:08] <magus_x> ops
[05:08] <kobalt> harisund free space = df -h (disk free)
[05:08] <magus_x> because the target have an space in the name
[05:08] <magus_x> or on the dir name?
[05:08] <mooni> timalot: -X            Execute <cmd> as a screen command in the specified session.
[05:08] <vicscandl> harisund: hehe look! more 2 letter commands!
[05:08] <harisund> Noookie I particularly want the command line only ...does gparted work over the command line?
[05:08] <mooni> i tought that where for sending cmds :(
[05:09] <Noookie> harisund: sry...dont hing so
[05:09] <timalot> mooni: once u can do that u can do what u want
[05:09] <Noookie> otherwise as said before df is great
[05:09] <harisund> vicscandl true ! after nl, tr, as, .. but then again, df is letters too ..
[05:09] <magus_x> hello??
[05:09] <harisund> what about disk partitions?
[05:09] <harisund> is there something more convenient than fdisk perhaps/
[05:09] <magus_x> well, its normal a shortcut dont work because the target name has spaces?
[05:09] <GBK> I need to open some MS Outlook mail in Linux. Any app that I can use to do that?
[05:09] <ccooke> gah. I thought Nvidia were supposed to be *better* than ATI
[05:10] <spike> hi
[05:10] <spike> can anbyody give me any info on sun-j2sdk1.5?
[05:10] <spike> I need it but cant find it. references to it seems to exist on oogle but are unclear
[05:10] <spike> ta
[05:10] <timalot> spike: yeah it's not *free* software
[05:11] <timalot> spike: u download it from sun
[05:11] <void^> !java
[05:11] <ubotu> java is an object oriented programming language. To install a java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the Multiverse repository
[05:11] <magus_x> well, its normal a shortcut dont work because the target name has spaces?
[05:12] <Krpano> how is it called that new system to write to NTFS ?
[05:12] <neutrinomass> ntfs-3g ?
[05:12] <neutrinomass> or something like that
[05:12] <neutrinomass> !ntfs-3g
[05:12] <ubotu> I know nothing about ntfs-3g - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[05:12] <Krpano> yes....exactly.:)
[05:12] <void^> ntfs-3g is the newest way to annihilate your valuable data :] 
[05:12] <yaaar> word
[05:12] <Krpano> it isnt safe ?
[05:12] <yaaar> void^: if it starts with 'nt' ....
[05:13] <magus_x> hello???
[05:14] <neutrinomass> Krpano: Safer than the previous method, but I wouldn't trust it without daily backups ;)
[05:14] <harisund> Does anybody know how the locate command works? I execute locate mpid and it returns /opt/mpich/gnu/include/mpidefs.h but I search locate mpid* nothing happens, and even with locate "mpid*" nothing happens?
[05:14] <void^> Krpano: depends on how safe you need it to be. if you have good backups/no valuable data and just want to play around, use it.
[05:14] <timalot> harisund: just use a substring ... no *
[05:14] <Krpano> i see......the bad part about fat32 is the size limit
[05:14] <magus_x> i need help please
[05:14] <Krpano> i want to manage my personal data, thus important to me..:)
[05:15] <Dr_Willis> !ask
[05:15] <harisund> timalot so locate doesn't accept regular expressions and shell expansions?
[05:15] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:16] <Redman276> where can i download  a  copy of   5.10  for  ppc ?
[05:16] <Krpano> finally there is no many options.....or usa FAT32 with limit of 4GB per file....or risk with NTFS......for multi OSs pcs i mean
[05:16] <mae> hi! is it possible these days to have XGL+Compiz+multihead working reasonably well?
[05:17] <timalot> harisund: i think it does do regular expressions... but not the way u are doing it.... what u are doing is doing a locate on all the names of all files in the current directory starting with mpid
[05:17] <Shinzetsu> cant get my webcam to work
[05:17] <rixxon> why am i not "connectable" on bittorrent? ports are forwarded in router and all
[05:17] <timalot> harisund: which is probably nothing
[05:17] <Shinzetsu> wait hang on
[05:17] <timothy> can anyone help me with a problem mounting a hard drive?
[05:17] <frogzoo> Krpano: there is a doze ext driver called ext2fsd - think that's what you want
[05:18] <Khamael> timothy: what is the problem?
[05:18] <Krpano> frogzoo, what is the purpose of that ?
[05:18] <Redman276> any takers   5.10  for  PPC ?
[05:19] <frogzoo> Krpano: you store your data on ext3 under linux, & use the ext2fsd driver to access it from doze
[05:19] <Krpano> frogzoo, i see...but there is no risk with that ?
[05:19] <timothy> khamael: I added a physical drive to my computer, IDE, and everything is recognized fine. Then, in ubuntu, it is still recognized with its name and whatnot, but when I try to open it/mount it, I get "unable to mount the selected volume. error: device /dev/hdd3 is not removable error: could not execute pmount".
[05:20] <Khamael> timothy: have you formatted it?
[05:20] <Dr_Willis> timothy,  add a fstab entry for it?
[05:20] <frogzoo> Krpano: it works
[05:20] <timothy> khamael: no, i am not sure how, and neither have i added an fstab entry
[05:21] <frogzoo> Krpano: but you'll have to conduct your own risk assessment - I'm not offering guarantees
[05:21] <Krpano> frogzoo, ehehe.....i know.
[05:21] <Khamael> timothy: well, you have to format it first. you in ubuntu now?
[05:21] <timothy> khamael:ye
[05:21] <timothy> khamael: yes
[05:22] <timalot> harisund: locate -r "my regexp"
[05:22] <timalot> harisund: what i said b4 was bullshit
[05:23] <Jack_Sparrow> frogzoo: I still prefer to use a fat32 that both OS can read without "Special" tools or drivers.. No risk... perhaps not quite as convenient
[05:24] <Bazzi_> Jack_Sparrow: risk can be lack of rights management, and fat fubaring :(
[05:24] <Stoney47> anyone else good with wireless pcmia cards?
[05:25] <Girish> hi all...i tried to install backuppc but the installation returned error sayin that sendmail is not a valid application....can ny one help me ?
[05:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Bazzi_: anyone can foobar anything given a chance :)
[05:25] <frogzoo> Jack_Sparrow: I wouldn't know - i erased my doze partition to make room for more pr0n
[05:25] <acojlo> can I change partition order with fdisk while ubuntu is booted? Will it use new order at next reboot?
[05:25] <Bazzi_> Jack_Sparrow: yeah one shouldn't maximize the possibility, though ;)
[05:26] <Khamael> timothy: try "sudo apt-get install gparted"
[05:26] <Jack_Sparrow> frogzoo: I got plenty of room and pr0n
[05:26] <Chaks> hi all
[05:26] <Chaks> am new to ubuntu
[05:26] <frogzoo> acojlo: change partition order? the order is the physical layout..?
[05:26] <Chaks> where can i get sources packages?
[05:26] <Chaks> i need source of adept
[05:26] <Chaks> thanks
[05:26] <Bazzi_> Chaks: through aptitude for example
[05:26] <acojlo> frogzoo, argh - yes or no"?
[05:26] <Bazzi_> or apt-get
[05:27] <Chaks> actually, now am not in ubuntu, :(....
[05:27] <Shinzetsu> Okay I tried 3 webcams, a Trust, qTec and Canon, it didnt recognize the Canon, and at the Qtec and Trust it detects "Bus 002 Device 017: ID 093a:2468 Pixart Imaging, Inc. Easy Snap Snake Eye WebCam
[05:27] <Shinzetsu> " and when I go test it it says it cant connect to /dev/video0
[05:27] <frogzoo> acojlo: what is it you want to do?
[05:27] <Chaks> any web link?
[05:27] <Bazzi_> man apt-get/ man aptitude
[05:27] <timothy> Khamael: OK, installed
[05:27] <Bazzi_> e.g. apt-get source <package>
[05:27] <Khamael> timothy: have you ever used partition magic?
[05:27] <Chaks> Bazzi_ , am not in ubuntu right now, but i need source of adept for porting in another distro
[05:27] <timothy> Khamael: no
[05:27] <Chaks> Bazzi_, any weblink so that i can download from there?
[05:28] <Bazzi_> archive.ubuntu.com
[05:28] <Khamael> timothy: then I suggest you either read "man gparted" or find yourself a good how-to before you proceed
[05:28] <Girish> hi all...i tried to install backuppc but the installation returned error sayin that sendmail is not a valid application....can ny one help me ?
[05:28] <duckdown> Hey all... Can someone just tell me if this is true;  I was told that if I register a domain with like godaddy or whatever, and I currently have an IPv6 tunnel working on ubuntu, is it true that I can set up the domain on my tunnel and then IRC or what not from it?
[05:28] <Khamael> timothy: when you are ready, you type "sudo gparted"
[05:29] <Khamael> timothy: but don`t do anything without knowing what you are doing
[05:29] <Shinzetsu> Im having problems with my webcam
[05:29] <BalNdaR> then i try to install linux-atm it gives me an error: checking lex output file root... ./configure: line 1486: lex: command not found
[05:29] <BalNdaR> configure: error: cannot find output from lex; giving up
[05:29] <Shinzetsu> Okay I tried 3 webcams, a Trust, qTec and Canon, it didnt recognize the Canon, and at the Qtec and Trust it detects "Bus 002 Device 017: ID 093a:2468 Pixart Imaging, Inc. Easy Snap Snake Eye WebCam" and when I go test it it says it cant connect to /dev/video0
[05:29] <BalNdaR> that it meens?
[05:29] <Khamael> timothy: that said, gparted is easy touse
[05:30] <timothy> Khamael: ok, thanks. If I just want to have one partition taking the entire disk, is there a simple way to do this? I have used partitioners before, just not partition magic.
[05:30] <Shinzetsu> I think it is on /dev/video1
[05:30] <Jack_Sparrow> BalNdaR: where did you get that prog?
[05:30] <Khamael> timothy: run "sudo gparted" and have a look
[05:30] <timothy> Khamael: I don't want an OS install or anything, just a place for file storage
[05:30] <finalbeta> Shinzetsu, did you check the device manager? I've found It's not always video0
[05:30] <Shinzetsu> finalbeta: lemme see
[05:31] <Khamael> timothy: it is a matter of clicking on the right partition and selecting format to ext3 or something like that
[05:31] <timothy> Khamael: I have, and it looks simple to use. I gues the only question I'm asking is if there needs to be some small special partition to allow mounting later on
[05:31] <Shinzetsu> finalbeta: where can I find the device manager?
[05:32] <finalbeta> if you have the old gnome menu it must be somewhere in system "device manager". can't say, using the sled one
[05:32] <Jack_Sparrow> timothy: Just leave 20 gig or so of unallocated space for the automagic installer to use later..
[05:32] <Khamael> timothy: on my system I have 3 partitions, 30GB,50GB and 200 GB
[05:32] <timothy> Jack_Sparrow: automagic installer..?
[05:32] <Shinzetsu> finalbeta: hm im using kde, shud i go logon gnome?
[05:32] <magus_x> automatix ?
[05:33] <Khamael> timothy: I don`t excactly know what you mean. you can have as small or large partitions you like
[05:33] <tomplast> Hi, is there anyone with insight into Mozilla developement?
[05:33] <finalbeta> Shinzetsu, no idea, can't really help you, it's just a tip. I've foudn that with my tv card and webcam they where sometimes mounted at weird places.
[05:33] <magus_x> i need help :~ can anyone help me?
[05:33] <timothy> Khamael: ok, nevermind, my question was irrelevent. thanks for your help
[05:33] <Jack_Sparrow> timothy: the Ubuntu installation program creates a partition in unallocated space along with the needed swap partition.
[05:33] <Khamael> timothy: np
[05:33] <Shinzetsu> finalbeta: I do see something here in /proc/bus/usb
[05:34] <Shinzetsu> finalbeta: usbdevfs
[05:34] <timothy> Jack_Sparrow: if I won't be installing ubuntu on this hard drive, is that going to be an issue? can i just make one partition?
[05:34] <Jack_Sparrow> timothy: You can do it manually but I prefer to just leave unallocated space
[05:34] <magus_x> i need help :~ can anyone help me? its about shortcuts
[05:34] <Jack_Sparrow> timothy: Im sorry I thought you said you were going to install it later, no partitons are not permenant
[05:34] <iratik> Off topic question: How to show whitespace in vim/vi?
[05:34] <BalNdaR> that meens this error? checking lex output file root... ./configure: line 1486: lex: command not found?
[05:34] <Jack_Sparrow> timothy: use the whole drive for now
[05:35] <timothy> Jack_Sparrow: ok, thanks for the help
[05:35] <dpupp> how do you remove a program with dpkg? is it -r?
[05:35] <BalNdaR> linux-atm source i got from http://linux-atm.sourceforge.net/ it is needed to setup adsl conection
[05:35] <Girish> c
[05:35] <dapet> Anyone with experience in Netgear WG111v2 (tried nearly everyting, without result) :(
[05:36] <Jack_Sparrow> dpupp:  dpkg -help
[05:36] <fetale> has anybody here had issues with their mysql when setting up ruby?
[05:36] <dpupp> thanks
[05:36] <Jack_Sparrow> dpupp: I just dont use it enough
[05:36] <pingun> i want to install ubuntu at our classroom (around 20 pc's). my problem: i have to install grub in the root partition (not in mbr). i am using the alternativ cd, but there is no question, where to install grub? any idea?
[05:36] <iratik> fetale: the socket location can be wrong sometimes
[05:36] <Shinzetsu> pingun: default is /boot/grub/
[05:36] <Jack_Sparrow> pingun: any reason you dont want to use the mbr?
[05:37] <gdb> Shinzetsu: He's talking about the actual GRUB bootloader, not the associated support or configuration files.
[05:37] <Girish>  /msg girishnair link girish rhqq2yxrkt
[05:37] <Shinzetsu> gdb: ah okay
[05:38] <Jack_Sparrow> !grub
[05:38] <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
[05:38] <nikin> is there a way to downscale my processor, i have a Pentium M Dorthan with variable CPU freq from 600Mhz to 1600Mhz, what do i have to do if i want it to be 600Mhz all the time?
[05:38] <pingun> jack_Sparrow: yes, we have an security card in it to protect partitions. when wrinting in the mbr, this protection is destroyed! (the card protect the winxp partition)
[05:39] <Jack_Sparrow> pingun: check the howto...  I used a boot floppy on the one system where I was not allowed to use the mbr
[05:39] <evn> i thought i read somewhere about an ubuntu-in-windows all in one package, that didn't require vmware (maybe vmware player?). does anyone know what this might be?
[05:40] <Girish> c
[05:40] <gdb> I think the issue isn't that he can't find information on installing GRUB elsewhere, it's that the Ubuntu installer will, without prompting, overwrite the MBR with GRUB.
[05:40] <pingun> ubutu: no problem with grub at all. but the installprocess never gives me the possibility, to install grub in the rootpartition. hind: the installer does *not* see the winxp partition. it thinks, that he is alone...
[05:40] <gdb> He's wanting to know how to either provide an alternate location or prevent GRUB from being written to the MBR *by the installer*.
[05:40] <gdb> pingun: Does your BIOS support "virus protection"?
[05:40] <Dr_Willis> For alternative grub install - you need to use the Alternate installer.
[05:41] <magus_x> anyone free to help me?
[05:41] <Dr_Willis> Or so i rember reading on the cd download page.
[05:41] <gdb> He's using that.
[05:41] <lufis> What's the fastest repo location?
[05:41] <pingun> gdb: i dont mind cause of virus (using linux all the time ;-) ) but i think so.. its a new pc.
[05:41] <gdb> pingun: ubotu is a bot, there's no need to try to engage it in conversation ;-)
[05:41] <pingun> Dr_Willis: i am using the alternative cd.
[05:42] <zsh> !ask > magus_x
[05:42] <gdb> pingun: If the BIOS supports virus protection, you might try enabling that.  It *might* prevent the installer from writing GRUB there, which will allow you to install it elsewhere using other means.
[05:42] <Jack_Sparrow> gdb: I thought there was an option to back out of the installer right before writing the mbr and setting it up on root or floppy.  It has been a while since I installed..
[05:42] <pingun> gdb: ahh ok. i am new here. i ve just going into ubuntu (have used gentoo for 4 years now, after suse). so i dont know debian/ubuntu very well ;-)
[05:43] <gdb> Jack_Sparrow: I've not used the Alternative CD, I'm trusting that when pingun says there is no option to make the selection, that there is no option.  He could be mistaken, but I can't determine that myself.
[05:43] <magus_x> well, its normal a shortcut dont work because the target name has spaces?
[05:44] <gdb> pingun: BIOS virus protection is nothing more than "do not let anything alter the MBR" protection.  It doesn't actually protect against any specific virus.
[05:44] <pingun> jack_Spaarow: i ve gont to konsole #2 and made the partition with fdisk. but he doesnt mind.
[05:44] <lufis> This isn't really Ubuntu-related, but for some reason whenever I change the volume on my speakers there's a crackling sound. Wtf?
[05:44] <magus_x> well, its normal a shortcut dont work because the target name has spaces?
[05:44] <Dr_Willis> what kind of shortcut you refering to?
[05:45] <Bob535> Question: Sound in Firefox does not seem to work for me
[05:45] <Jack_Sparrow> lufis: Only while turning the knob..?  Dirty volume/potentiometer
[05:45] <Bob535> I have sound running in my games through cedega, and in programs like rythmbox. So I know it does work
[05:45] <pingun> gdb: i could try it with the virus protection. but i think, linux/ubuntu doesnt care..
[05:45] <fetale> iratik: thanks for the heads up, I figured it out.
[05:46] <lufis> Jack_Sparrow: Hm... well I Google'd and got pretty much the same answer, but I've cleaned it out with compressed air and it's still doing it
[05:46] <oskude> Bob535: firefox doesnt play any sounds by it self...
[05:46] <Girish> f
[05:46] <Girish> v
[05:46] <Bob535> Oskude, i mean when showing videos or audioclips embedded in webpages
[05:46] <lufis> Bob535: Does video load?
[05:47] <Jack_Sparrow> lufis: Air will seldom get inside the case of the pot.  Tapping and turning sometmes cleans it.. for awhile
[05:47] <Bob535> yes
[05:47] <oskude> Bob535: so it would be a problem with the "plugin" that plays them...
[05:47] <Bob535> video plays fine, just no sound atttached
[05:47] <lufis> Jack_Sparrow: Gr... it's annoying
[05:47] <Jack_Sparrow> lufis: USe the software volume control
[05:48] <lufis> Jack_Sparrow: I guess I'll have to. :P That or get some new speakers... I've been wanting some better ones anyway
[05:48] <Bob535> How can I edit the plugin? if you know
[05:49] <lufis> Bob535: It might be a codec issue. If the player has a codec installed for video but not for the audio, then no audio will play. Can you play regular MP3s in Rhythmbox, etc.?
[05:49] <magus_x> well, its normal a shortcut dont work because the target name has spaces????????????????????????
[05:49] <Bob535> Not sure about mp3s, it can stream audio off the net though
[05:49] <BalNdaR> how to use CVS Access?
[05:50] <Dr_Willis> magus_x,  what kind of shortcut you refering to?
[05:50] <Rudy507> hey guys, I've got a hard drive split up into multiple partitions. I have an NTFS partition, and it's sectors are in front of my reiser file system, that is running ubuntu. Is there any way I can reduce the size of my NTFS partition, and attach it to my reiser partition?
[05:50] <oskude> magus_x: use "" with names that have spaces...
[05:50] <lufis> Bob535: Well, do you know what plugin is being used to play video? Type about:plugins in the address bar
[05:50] <magus_x> yeah, i use :(

[05:50] <lhds> hello i am trying to install a new kernel from kernel.org. in the post they say to remove links from /usr/src/linux.  if this folder does not exist in /usr/src its normal? shall i bypass this step?
[05:51] <oskude> magus_x: then you better say what shortcut and pastebin your shortcut...
[05:51] <harisund> lhds you could. However I suggest you follow installation instructions from that posted somewhere in the forums, which uses the Debian way of installing kernels
[05:51] <magus_x> cedega -workdir "/home/magus/.cedega/Steam/c_drive/Program Files/Steam" "C:/Program Files/Steam/steam.exe"  -applaunch 70
[05:51] <magus_x> dont works
[05:51] <magus_x> :(
[05:51] <Rudy507> hmm ok. Do you know anything about resize_reiserfs ?
[05:51] <Rudy507> I found something about that on google
[05:51] <Tutter> anyone know where I can find sticky notes for gnome /
[05:52] <Ropechoborra> I installed an automatic upgrade for the kernells, and when i reboot the grub config change and the grub splash image (ubuntu loading) too.. what could that be?
[05:52] <Dr_Willis> magus_x,  but that command works from the shell?
[05:52] <lhds> well i have ubuntu and i am using a post from ubuntuforums for ubuntu users but i dont have that linux folder
[05:52] <Bob535> Hmmm
[05:52] <magus_x> dont works too
[05:52] <Bob535> not showing any plugin specifically for video
[05:52] <magus_x> but it was supposed to
[05:52] <magus_x> :(
[05:52] <lufis> Bob535: Can you message me what it says? or pastebin?
[05:52] <oskude> magus_x: well, that looks like a cedega problem... i cant even read the man file for the syntax of ots flags...
[05:53] <Bob535> application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash swf Yes   application/futuresplash FutureSplash Player spl Yes
[05:53] <Bob535> just the two lines
[05:53] <magus_x> well
[05:53] <magus_x> i will update it
[05:53] <pppoe_dude> hi is there a program to draw road maps for linux/ubuntu?
[05:53] <lufis> Bob535: Oh, then you might not have any plugin for video at all. That's just for Flash
[05:53] <harisund> lhds never mind. You can proceed.
[05:53] <oskude> magus_x: and you didnt even tell what didnt worked.. like error messages ?
[05:53] <Bob535> I know that
[05:53] <Bob535> but the video plays
[05:54] <nathanial> Hello folks. I have a question(possibily a stupid one. haha)
[05:54] <timothy> Khamael: I have formatted the hard drive and i see it as such in fdisk, but i am still unable to mount the drive
[05:54] <harisund> nathanial just ask your question.
[05:54] <nathanial> I've used easyubuntu before, I need to use it again, but i can't find out to run it
[05:54] <BalNdaR> that is CVS ?
[05:54] <mjr> 20
[05:54] <Tutter> aha
[05:55] <Tutter> found stickynotes_applet ..but doesnt seem to load
[05:55] <lufis> Bob535: You mean other than Flash video?
[05:55] <Bob535> nathanial the information is on their webpage in the downloads section
[05:55] <magus_x> /home/magus/.cedega/.winex_ver/winex-5.1.3/winex/bin/wine: cannot find 'C:/Program Files/Steam/steam.exe'
[05:55] <Bob535> yes lufis
[05:55] <nathanial> I've downloaded it. I just need to run it.
[05:55] <Bob535> I can run all youtube clips, and im pretty sure they are not flrash
[05:55] <Bob535> flash
[05:55] <Bob535> the instructions are on the page
[05:55] <Bob535> nathaniel
[05:55] <lufis> Bob535: No, those are Flash
[05:55] <Bob535> they are terminal commands
[05:55] <nathanial> There doesn't seem to be a GUI for "double click", and I can't figure out how to do it through the terminal.
[05:55] <timothy> i think i need to allow my user to mount my hard drive, because when i try to mount, i get "mount: only root can mount /dev/hdd1 on /mnt"
[05:55] <oskude> magus_x: well, you dont have c: under linux...
[05:56] <magus_x> i know
[05:56] <magus_x> but cedega... :P
[05:56] <girish> .
[05:56] <Bob535> okay, lufis so then why does the sound not work for flash?
[05:56] <oskude> magus_x: well, then it cant find it... i have no clue about cedega... checked for typos ?
[05:56] <timothy> does anyone think they can help?
[05:56] <Bob535> magus, upgrade to 5.2.3
[05:56] <timothy> mounting a hard drive
[05:57] <nathanial> Bob535, I've already downloaded it. I just need to run it.
[05:57] <girish> hey can anyone help me install backuppc?
[05:57] <sivang> hi all
[05:57] <sivang> does anybody know how to fix the annoying emacs font problem ?
[05:57] <Jack_Sparrow> timothy: HAve you edited your fstab yet?
[05:57] <Bob535> Yes nathanial, the same instructions exist
[05:57] <Bob535> its the third (or fourth) line that executes the program
[05:58] <adiddy> hi
[05:58] <Bob535> first downloads, second untars, third moves to directory, fourth executes
[05:58] <ubuntu> hi, I have problem at boot time: "GRUB: Error 17"
[05:58] <adiddy> how can i add more panles to gnome?
[05:58] <lufis> Bob535: I don't know. If sound is working everywhere else but not flash, then I'd suspect it's an issue with what it's outputting to, i.e., OSS rather than ALSA. I'm not an expert or anything by any means, though, so I can't be sure
[05:58] <Bob535> okay lufis, thanks for the help
[05:58] <Jack_Sparrow> !alsa
[05:58] <ubotu> If sound is not working, first try system -> prefrences -> multimedia system selector change it to alsa. If you still have problems then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems
[05:58] <timothy> jack_sparrow: I tried to. I added: "/dev/hdd1   /mnt    ext3    defaults   0 0 "
[05:59] <sivang> since somtime in edgy, all emac fonts became rediciously small
[05:59] <sivang> and I had not changed anything
[05:59] <timothy> jack_sparrow: i believe i just mountd it, but 1) am not sure how to check if i did, and 2) would like to do so without being root
[05:59] <timothy> jack_sparrow: i just did 'sudo mount /dev/hdd1 /mnt' without a hitch
[06:00] <cimnine> have a problem: my (ubuntu) live cd return me the errors
[06:00] <cimnine> "error: device /dev/hda1 is not removable
[06:00] <cimnine> error: could not execute pmount"
[06:00] <cimnine> when i try to access my harddisk
[06:00] <frying_fish> timothy: unless you mount inside ~/ you have to be root
[06:00] <frying_fish> cimnine: yeah that would be a correct error message
[06:00] <timothy> frying_fish: i am unsure of what that means
[06:00] <adiddy> no idea?
[06:01] <frying_fish> timothy: ~/ == /home/$USER/ , and to mount anything outside of your home directory you need root permissions
[06:01] <cimnine> frying_fish: i don't know what to do with this message :(
[06:01] <adiddy> looking for drag and drop panles for gnome if avail
[06:01] <Jack_Sparrow> timothy:  how does this look    /dev/hdd3       /media              ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
[06:01] <frying_fish> adiddy: right click on a current panel and click "new panel" to create a new one
[06:01] <adiddy> lots of spaces
[06:02] <frying_fish> Jack_Sparrow: that looks bad
[06:02] <adiddy> but what about fresh onbes?
[06:02] <frying_fish> don't mount it to /media
[06:02] <wasauce>  im looking for the script that is run when someone runs the command shutdown or when through the gui one selects shutdown... any ideas where i might find it? i did a locate for shutdown but didnt find anything too interesting
[06:02] <frying_fish> mount it to /media/somewhereelse
[06:02] <frying_fish> adiddy: doing what I said will create a new blank panel
[06:02] <burhan> wasauce: it runs the command called 'shutdown'
[06:02] <typhoid> hey there =D
[06:02] <adiddy> iwant brand new panels
[06:02] <Jack_Sparrow> frying_fish: WHy not to media...
[06:02] <Tsora> hey guys - i'm very new to linux, and i'm stumped on how to configure my wireless card (dlink dwl-g510 rev b)  in ubuntu....everything i've found says that it should work great because madwifi is preinstalled in ubuntu,but other than that, i haven't found anything on how to configure it.  where can i start?
[06:02] <frying_fish> that you can put anywhere
[06:02] <asdfjkl> Does anyone know how to add shadows to your windows?
[06:03] <frying_fish> Jack_Sparrow: because all other things, such as cd's and the like will mount to /media/somewhere
[06:03] <adiddy> ok fish i'll try it
[06:03] <timothy> jack_sparrow,frying_fish: i am not sure /dev/hdd3 exists;, i don't see it in fdisk
[06:03] <burhan> asdfjkl: put a shade up over them
[06:03] <frying_fish> timothy: then find the correct partition
[06:03] <Jack_Sparrow> timothy: how many drives in the system?
[06:03] <frying_fish> Jack_Sparrow: don't forget, they could be sata so could be /dev/sdXY
[06:03] <asdfjkl> burhan: haha...
[06:03] <adiddy> thank you fish
[06:03] <frying_fish> adiddy: welcome.
[06:03] <typhoid> i have a question, may be a stupid one but i'd appreciate some help..   I've got this windows share mounted using samba...  i can copy files from it to my local drive... i can write to  it.  however, i can not play .mp3 files directly from  it.  I have to copy them locally and then play them for them to work (xmms if it makes a difference.. i don't think it does)
[06:03] <Bob535> that was fun
[06:03] <timothy> frying_fish,jack_sparrow: two physical drives, and i am trying to mount /dev/hdd1 and i have the fstab i showed you earlier. I can mount it, but only as root. I would like to make it mount automatically as i login and not have to worry about it
[06:04] <frying_fish> typhoid: right, you need to "mount" that partition
[06:04] <frying_fish> then xmms will be able to read them
[06:04] <timothy> frying_fish,jack_sparrow: I have successfully mounted it, but only as root
[06:04] <pingun> gdb: is there any way to prevent ubuntu textmode installer to write the mbr? (otherwise i will use an different distro where i can chose where to install grub)
[06:04] <Jack_Sparrow> frying_fish:  Agreed, only used hdd because that is what he thought he had
[06:04] <frying_fish> timothy: so you want it to mount on bootup?
[06:04] <typhoid> it's mounted as /mnt/tunes... do i need to do anything special to it?
[06:04] <frying_fish> add an entry to fstab
[06:04] <Bob535> quetsion
[06:04] <timothy> frying_fish: ideally
[06:04] <typhoid> ahh thanks =D
[06:04] <poningru> typhoid: unfortunately your network may not be fast enough
[06:04] <frying_fish> pingun: in the text based one yes you can choose to not write to mbr
[06:04] <Bob535> maybe not
[06:04] <Bob535> one sec
[06:05] <poningru> typhoid: is your network reliable/fast enough?
[06:05] <timothy> frying_fish: this is what i have in fstab now, which doesn't do the trick: "/dev/hdd1 /mnt ext3 defaults 0 0"
[06:05] <frying_fish> typhoid: it shoudl be fine then if it is actually mounted
[06:05] <frying_fish> timothy: don't mount it to /mnt
[06:05] <poningru> typhoid: try playing it using vlc or something
[06:05] <frying_fish> same reason as not putting it to /media
[06:05] <frying_fish> put it to /mnt/somewhere
[06:05] <timothy> frying_fish: ok
[06:05] <typhoid> yup.. it's wireless but i stream allkinds of stuff from windows..   it's at about 97% (the wireless connection) at the moment
[06:05] <frying_fish> don't put it in the top level directory.
[06:05] <Bob535> nah i got it
[06:05] <frying_fish> typhoid: how did you mount it?
[06:06] <typhoid> it doesn't play in anything i have installed ..
[06:06] <typhoid> frying_fish i forget how i mounted it..  i used the UI to do it though
[06:06] <timothy> frying_fish: ok, other than where it mounts, shall i change anything else?
[06:06] <RedMonkey> hello everybody!
[06:06] <frying_fish> typhoid: right, its probably not actually properly mounted
[06:06] <typhoid> i think i just used.. hmm.. let me do it manually and see if that does it  =)  thanks
[06:07] <frying_fish> you will need to mount it using something of this form: sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=foo, password=foobar, //path/to/server /path/to/mount
[06:07] <burhan> how tha heck do you stop opera from trying to be a torrent client?!
[06:07] <Bob535> wow, not sure how I managed to tank that
[06:08] <boolka> When installing from alternate cd,   OEM installtion = graphical ?
[06:08] <Bob535> thank you ctrl+alt+backspace
[06:08] <newbuntu> hi
[06:08] <girish> neubuntu:hi
[06:08] <Gerhard> hi could I have your attention for a moment
[06:08] <timothy> frying_fish: how can i make the drive automatically mount on login?
[06:08] <girish> newubuntu:hi
[06:08] <frying_fish> boolka: don't think so.
[06:08] <Gerhard> I just installed Ubuntu in the Version before Dapper
[06:08] <vicscandl> Gerhard: only if you bring beer.
[06:08] <Gerhard> but X wont run
[06:09] <frying_fish> timothy: to make it mount on boot (not specifically on logging in, it will be done before that) add it to fstab
[06:09] <Gerhard> sry I have no beer ;-(
[06:09] <boolka> frying_fish, well i have 2 options,  isntalling via text mode and installing via OEM mode...
[06:09] <frying_fish> what is the filesystem, what is the drive and partition
[06:09] <vicscandl> !beer
[06:09] <ubotu> I know nothing about beer - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[06:09] <frying_fish> boolka: give it a go, I think its text mode for either though
[06:09] <girish> can ny one help me install backuppc?
[06:09] <Gerhard> how do I now open the xorg.conf file to reconfigure X
[06:09] <timothy> frying_fish: will the entry I showed you do this?
[06:09] <boolka> frying_fish i went with the text mode
[06:09] <newbuntu> i got a weird behavior i would like to know how to solve, i hear sound from gaim but i cant hear sound from any flash pages in firefox even though i get to see the flash content and activity, anyone could tell me what to do ? im using ubuntu 6.06
[06:09] <frying_fish> timothy: most likely
[06:10] <timothy> frying_fish ok, thanks
[06:10] <LinuxHelp>  how do I change my default desktop environment (eg kde to gnome) for xdm?
[06:10] <frying_fish> timothy: yes that will work, but don't have it as /mnt
[06:10] <frying_fish> make it /mnt/drive2 or something
[06:10] <vicscandl> Gerhard: vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:11] <newbuntu> -.- anyone any idea?
[06:11] <vicscandl> Gerhard: i'm sure there is a graphical version, but i live for CLI.
[06:11] <Gerhard> thanks vicscandl
[06:11] <Gerhard> I will go to the other PC, please wait a sec
[06:11] <boolka> frying_fish,  I am at the partion part of the installation,   I got an option  that say Erase entrie disk and use LVM, IDE 1 hda ... what does LVM mean?
[06:11] <typhoid> frying_fish:  how do i handle passwords with crazy characters in them? (specifically,  it's hung  up on  the > character @ the end of my pass...   can i just put some delimiter around the pass or something?
[06:11] <frying_fish> Local Volume Management
[06:11] <burhan> boolka: logical volume manager = lvm
[06:11] <Rod> hi
[06:12] <burhan> or .. is it local
[06:12] <frying_fish> typhoid: try it in quotes
[06:12] <frying_fish> or, use a credentials file
[06:12] <frying_fish> I am not quite sure how to tell it to use the credentials file except when creating an fstab entry
[06:12] <rosh1182> when I type:  /bin/su - roshan -c '/usr/bin/xterm' I get the following error:  /usr/bin/xterm:  DISPLAY is not set; how do I fix this?
[06:12] <frying_fish> although it should be just credentials=/path/to/cred
[06:12] <typhoid> ok, thanks!

[06:13] <Chaks> hi all, can anyone give me a link where i can download source packages for Ubuntu?
[06:13] <Chaks> i am in another distro
[06:13] <rosh1182> frying_fish, is there a way to allow the program to run?
[06:13] <Chaks> where i need to port adept
[06:13] <Chaks> can anybody help me out ? :(
[06:14] <frying_fish> why are you trying to run a new shell anyway..
[06:14] <frying_fish> either do "su roshan -x"
[06:14] <Gerhard> well, I cant change the xorg.conf
[06:14] <rosh1182> frying_fish, it is a test, I am trying to write some udev rules to sync with my palm pilot
[06:14] <vicscandl> anyone out there runing fluxbox with ubuntu?
[06:14] <Gerhard> I want to set the resolution to 800x600 so that X will hopefully run
[06:14] <frying_fish> which keeps in that terminal, as the other user, or just "su roshan"
[06:14] <Gerhard> how to do that?
[06:14] <typhoid> i found a good how-to for perma-mounting samba fileshares  (using a credential  file) -->   http://www.justlinux.com/nhf/Filesystems/Mounting_smbfs_Shares_Permanently.html
[06:15] <frying_fish> Gerhard: by editing xorg.conf and finding the options in there (near the bottom)
[06:15] <Gerhard> ubuntu says, xorg.conf would be safe from editing it
[06:15] <Gerhard> i cant change anything in the file
[06:15] <vicscandl> !fluxbox
[06:15] <ubotu> fluxbox is a lightweight and responsive window manager for GNU/Linux. For how to set it up and more information see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fluxbox

[06:15] <mike-digiport-> and what command lists the packages available for name
[06:15] <dromedary> How do I review my start-up information?  Something anomalous is happening and it looks bad and I want to review it.

[06:17] <mike-digiport-> causde im trying to download mysql
[06:17] <bthornton> By default, does Ubuntu 6.06 LTS come with NFSv3 or NFSv4?

[06:29] <typhoid> frying_fish:  thanks so much for your help.. i mounted it correctly (and added to /etc/fstab) and it works as it should!!

[06:31] <ompaul> nalioth, ^^ question
[06:31] <gerhard> I am back
[06:31] <duaneb> timothy: use sudo? :p
[06:31] <DsOft> hfs is the old os/2 filesystem
[06:31] <duaneb> otherwise, you can't
[06:31] <gerhard> I changed the resolutions to 1024x768 and 800x600
[06:31] <gerhard> but X didnt work anyway
[06:31] <DsOft> mac os x use hpfs or hpfs+
[06:31] <timothy> duaneb: well, this works, but i'd like to mount the drive automatically on boot
[06:32] <duaneb> oh
[06:32] <gerhard> can anyone qry me plz, i have to use commandline irc
[06:32] <duaneb> no idea, then :)
[06:32] <gerhard> not easy to read
[06:32] <timothy> duaneb: haha, thanks anyway

[06:32] <duaneb> I have a geforce 6100 integrated gfx on my motherboard
[06:33] <duaneb> with an AMD 64 X2 4200+ cpu
[06:33] <timothy> can anyone help me configure ubuntu to mount something automatically on start-up?
[06:33] <duaneb> how can I install the driver?
[06:33] <harmental> i get v.13.5....and the latest is 1.4.2
[06:33] <gerhard> come on, this cant be so difficult
[06:33] <duaneb> I tried this: http://tazforum.thetazzone.com/viewtopic.php?t=21 but it didn't work
[06:33] <gerhard> or is there an alternative to X?
[06:34] <gerhard> !X
[06:34] <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
[06:34] <DsOft> thx
[06:34] <[b] urk> !fstab > timothy
[06:34] <timothy> !fstab
[06:34] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file lists all drives and partitions that are mounted on the system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !partitions
[06:34] <frying_fish> timothy: yes, I alreadyd did
[06:34] <harmental> duaneb: what do you want to mount? external o internal hds?
[06:34] <boolka> !partition
[06:34] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted  -  Formatting partitions: see the manual page for mkfs ("man mkfs")  -  Mounting partitions in Gnome: System -> Administration -> Disks
[06:34] <gerhard> can I open websites in the console?
[06:34] <frying_fish> timothy: check your private messages
[06:35] <gerhard> is there anyone in here???

[06:38] <cica> I asked this question before but was never able to get an success. I have recently updated my Ubuntu but on the boot loader the older version is still displayed. Does anyone know how to remove this older boot option?? (Using Gnome)
[06:38] <alex_ndc> hi people ... I have a problem ... I don't know what happened but my mouse's scroll wheel doesn't work anymore,
[06:38] <alex_ndc> and it worked fine until I installed and then uninstalled xubuntu-desktop
[06:38] <bjames> hi all - I'm new to Linux and I'm having a few problems installing wxWidgets, any takers?
[06:38] <frying_fish> timothy: ok, add the following line to the bottom of fstab: /dev/hdd1       /mnt/storage  ext3    defaults        0       2
[06:38] <frying_fish> or change /mnt for /media
[06:38] <harmental> nalioth:  i still get v.13.5....
[06:38] <burhan> cica: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:38] <gerhard> 1
[06:39] <burhan> alex-weej: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:39] <cica> burhan: thanks mate :-)
[06:39] <alex-weej> ANGRY ANGRY ANGRY
[06:39] <bjames> does anyone develop using wxWidgets GUI API?
[06:39] <gerhard> how do i leave the damn console irc?
[06:39] <nalioth> harmental: you may have to compile it yourself.  use checkinstall instead of 'make install'   join #conky for more help
[06:39] <timothy> frying_fish: thanks again, i will try rebooting
[06:39] <bjames> I get an error when I try running the config script
[06:39] <gerhard> !irc
[06:40] <ubotu> irc is Internet Relay Chat - Ubuntu IRC clients: xchat (http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/XChatHowto), gaim (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/GaimHowto), Konversation (http://konversation.berlios.de/docs/) - Also see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/InternetRelayChat and !guidelines
[06:40] <gerhard> argh
[06:40] <bjames> "./config --with-gtk"
[06:40] <gerhard> !console-irc
[06:40] <ubotu> I know nothing about console-irc - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[06:40] <vicscandl> gerhard: apt-get install irssi
[06:40] <gerhard> i am not able to run anything, i first have to close the irc client
[06:40] <gerhard> i was in the console before x is there
[06:41] <gerhard> then i typed irc
[06:41] <gerhard> and got here
[06:41] <vicscandl> gerhard: try Alt-F1
[06:41] <bjames> the config script tells me I don't have gtk+ 2.0 installed, but it's clearly in my package list (synaptic)
[06:41] <tuxtux> reboot
[06:41] <gerhard> what will happen? will i quit from here?
[06:41] <vicscandl> gerhard: thru Fx... no you have multiple windows
[06:41] <gerhard> ok and then i type what?
[06:41] <JohnUK89> gerhard, tried /quit?
[06:41] <JohnUK89> lol
[06:41] <gerhard> i dont want to quit
[06:41] <burhan> gerhard: cltr+alt+f2 will take you to another console
[06:41] <gerhard> i hope you arent kidding me
[06:42] <burhan> me? no
[06:42] <bjames> anyone??>???
[06:42] <frying_fish> dammn, he went before making the directory
[06:42] <gerhard> cool
[06:42] <burhan> then to get back to the one you are in now, hit ctrl+alt+f1
[06:42] <gerhard> thank you
[06:42] <gerhard> yes
[06:42] <vicscandl> gerhard: there are a few terminal windows, ctrl-alt-Fx will get you to them, then you can do other things there without having to 'leave irc'
[06:42] <gerhard> yes
[06:42] <harisund> How do I unmount a swap partition?
[06:42] <SGershon> hi All.
[06:42] <synic> swapoff
[06:43] <burhan> harisund: why?
[06:43] <gerhard> now how do i launch those console browsers?
[06:43] <gerhard> links?
[06:43] <burhan> bjames: you need to install the -dev package
[06:43] <gerhard> lynx?
[06:43] <harisund> I have 2 swap partitions and I need to remove 1 ... ok never mind thanks .. I found it out by using apropos swap . It is swapoff
[06:43] <vicscandl> gerhard: er, type them on the command line?
[06:43] <SGershon> Where can I check how the Graphics Adapter was recognized in Ubuntu (i.e. that it was recognized properly)?
[06:43] <Rookie-> just type lynx and the url
[06:43] <bjames> the -dev package?
[06:43] <burhan> gerhard: links http://www.google.com/search?q=linux+help
[06:43] <timothy> frying_fish: everything works ok, thanks for your patience, i appreciate it
[06:43] <burhan> SGershon: lspci -vv | grep VGA
[06:43] <gerhard> hm wait
[06:43] <frying_fish> timothy: thats ok
[06:44] <vicscandl> hume: Robert Hume, h.u.m.e.  nice!
[06:44] <gerhard> -bash: links: command not found
[06:44] <burhan> gerhard: you have to install it first
[06:44] <burhan> gerhard: sudo apt-get install links2
[06:44] <gerhard> ok thanks
[06:44] <frying_fish> gerhard: you need to install it first
[06:44] <gerhard> yes
[06:44] <wasauce> how do i disable the i option from the halt command?
[06:45] <gerhard> couldnt find package links2
[06:45] <bjames> burham: what would I type to install the dev package??     sudo apt-get install dev????
[06:45] <SGershon> burhan, which of the lines?
[06:45] <burhan> !info links2
[06:45] <ubotu> links2: Web browser running in both graphics and text mode. In repository universe, is optional. Version 2.1pre20-2 (dapper), package size 1969 kB, installed size 3184 kB
[06:45] <gerhard> ok he knows links
[06:45] <duaneb_> so basically: how can I install a graphics driver for my integrated graphics?
[06:45] <hume> vicscandl, well, rather David Hume...:)
[06:45] <burhan> SGershon: there should be one that has something regarding your vga card.
[06:45] <tuxedup> I am slighly confuised by the ubuntu repo system, main just contains official supported ubuntu packages correct (which isnt many), universe contains community packages e.g. Banshee etc, so what is in restricted and any other parts of the repos?
[06:46] <duaneb_> anyone? :|
[06:46] <JohnUK89> gerhard: have you added the universe repo?
[06:46] <gerhard> no, JohnUK89
[06:46] <gerhard> but I installed links
[06:46] <gerhard> that works
[06:46] <frying_fish> duaneb_: did you say it was nvidia?
[06:46] <frying_fish> if so, sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx
[06:46] <gerhard> but I still dont know how to make my X run
[06:46] <Shinzetsu> o0
[06:46] <gerhard> I have an Radeon X200 onboard chip
[06:47] <frying_fish> gerhard: you will most likely need the ati drivers
[06:47] <burhan> bjames: you want sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
[06:47] <frying_fish> infact, most definately need them
[06:47] <gerhard> where do I get em?
[06:47] <gerhard> ati.com?
[06:47] <SGershon> burhan, oh yes, I see something now that says ATI Radeon Mobility M300.
[06:47] <SGershon> Thanks!
[06:47] <bjames> burham: cheers - I'll give that a go
[06:48] <frying_fish> gerhard: sudo aptitude install xorg-driver-fglrx
[06:48] <duaneb_> frying_fish: I all ready did that
[06:48] <duaneb_> but it hasn't done anything.
[06:48] <vicscandl> hume: was referencing War Games..
[06:48] <frying_fish> duaneb_: ok, so you habe the driver, but you need to edit xorg.conf to use it
[06:48] <Shinzetsu> frying_fish: what are you trying to do?
[06:48] <duaneb_> I still can't run glxgears
[06:48] <Shinzetsu> i mean duaneb_
[06:48] <gerhard> thanks frying_fish
[06:48] <Shinzetsu> duaneb_ have you tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[06:48] <gerhard> i hate that links
[06:49] <zzyber> I really hope for help guys. I have a printer/scanner called ip280 and to use it to scan documents we earlier used a software to run a service on windows (probably som kind of net app) and we shared a folder from the utility. All scanned documents went to that folder for viewing. Do you think its possible to handle this on a ubuntu machine with another opensource solution or with wine running the app/service as windows?
[06:49] <aro-ron> ARGH! Can someon please tell me why my tray icons, such as Azureus and Frostwire, and even network icons, keep opening in tiny windows on the desktop, instead of on the top panel? its driving me nuts!
[06:49] <duaneb_> no, I haven't
[06:50] <Shinzetsu> aro-ron: KDE?
[06:50] <aro-ron> no Gnome
[06:50] <gerhard> ok, he installs a lot of things now
[06:50] <frying_fish> aro-ron: you don't have the notification area set correctly
[06:50] <gerhard> i tell you when hes ready
[06:50] <burhan> zzyber: first step would be to find out how well your device is supported under linux. Have you looked it up at linuxprinting.org ?
[06:50] <frying_fish> aro-ron: you need to add a notification area
[06:50] <aro-ron> I have one, I ended up adding two when I was making sureI had one
[06:51] <zzyber> burhan: yes and it is but i have nothing on the scan part
[06:51] <gerhard> my Version is 5.10 by the way if it helps you
[06:51] <aro-ron> but its still not working
[06:51] <JohnUK89> Hmm me firefox isnt working lol *tries a text-based browser*
[06:51] <frying_fish> aro-ron: then delete one
[06:51] <burhan> aro-ron: install the window list applet
[06:51] <zzyber> burhan: infotec ip280
[06:51] <Jack_Sparrow> zzyber: you have basic scan functions working?
[06:52] <bjames> burham: cheers for that - the config script seems to have made the makefile now
[06:52] <burhan> zzyber: anything works?
[06:52] <aro-ron> burhan, the what applet?
[06:52] <burhan> aro-ron: its called window list
[06:52] <zzyber> burhan: yes the printing, no problem. I can ping it on the network and browse to it with http
[06:53] <duaneb_> how can i install dev tools?
[06:53] <aro-ron> I'll try, I just deleted the notifacation area  and made a new one, but still, the icons are loading on the desktop
[06:53] <duaneb_> i.e. gcc, g++
[06:53] <duaneb_> preferably with 3.3 AND 4.0
[06:53] <gerhard> i will be afk for 2 minutes
[06:53] <trappist> duaneb_: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[06:53] <synic> aro-ron: obviously "notification window" and "window list" are not the same thing.
[06:53] <burhan> zzyber: I don't think there is much hope here, as what you describe is most likely a function of the driver that comes with Windows, not a printer-enabled function (some printers have this built into their engine)
[06:53] <duaneb_> can i do it from my cd?
[06:53] <trappist> duaneb_: I'm not sure
[06:54] <aro-ron> synic, I know that... but they WERE working yesterday
[06:54] <zzyber> burhan: yes i understand, do you know if its possible to "run as service" with for example CrossOver Office?
[06:54] <burhan> zzyber: I don't know about that, but I doubt its possible.
[06:55] <dromedary> Hey guys my computer is messing up on the startup screen and I need to retrieve that startup scroll, what do I do?
[06:55] <linuxcrazy> anyone know how to change their IRC password?
[06:55] <burhan> bjames: most of the time, if you are compiling packages, you'll need the -dev version of what the software needs.

When rebooting my machine I have to manually configure the Wireless Network settings to state that my wireless key is entered in Plain Text as apposed to Hex. Everytime the system is rebooted this change has to be made. Is there anywhere I can alter this to ensure the plain text option is default?

[07:00] <gerhard> ok, the fglrx driver is ready, what do I have to do now to make my X run with the Radeon X200 ?
[07:00] <setuid> ANyone?
[07:00] <gerhard> whats wrong setuid?
[07:01] <burhan> !anyone
[07:01] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[07:01] <[Ex0r] > grr, what is the proper wiring diagram for a cat5 network cable?
[07:01] <bjames> burham: I'm sure you'll see me around here again asking questions with obvious answers!  Thanks for the advice, I hope I can repay the favour at some point (if you ever have an electronics question...)
[07:01] <burhan> [Ex0r] : wikipedia should know
[07:01] <Ng> [Ex0r] : all of the pins just go straight through, 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, etc.
[07:01] <cica> synic: should I change my primary network interface from eth0 to eth1 (wireless one)?
[07:01] <gerhard> ok, the fglrx driver is ready, what do I have to do now to make my X run with the Radeon X200 ?
[07:01] <Jack_Sparrow> [Ex0r] : I have that somewhere.. let me look
[07:02] <JohnUK89> gerhard, run fglrx-config
[07:02] <[Ex0r] > burhan- I've used 5 different diagrams, and none of them appear to be working at all
[07:02] <synic> cica: *shrug* - that's up to you
[07:02] <gerhard> thanks John
[07:02] <frying_fish> [Ex0r] : white orange  - orange - white blue - green - white green - blue - white brown - brown
[07:02] <gerhard> command not found, JohnUK89
[07:02] <cica> synic: what I meant was this won't screw up other network setting elsewhere
[07:02] <JohnUK89> hmm, take the dash out? Not an ATI user here lol
[07:03] <Jack_Sparrow> [Ex0r] : http://mywebpages.comcast.net/dmfarrior/cat5.htm
[07:03] <frying_fish> gerhard: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:03] <cica> synic: (newbie) :-)
[07:03] <gerhard> i try that, frying_fish
[07:03] <frying_fish> or aticonfig --initial
[07:03] <[Ex0r] > i'm looking at a network cable made by belkin, and it doesnt work at all
[07:03] <burhan> gerhard: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:03] <pereda> sara pereda casado
[07:03] <frying_fish> JohnUK89: you need to install that separate
[07:03] <JohnUK89> <still in the past i think lol
[07:03] <Jack_Sparrow> [Ex0r] : aRE YOU TRYING TO DO A CROSSOVER/DIRECT?
[07:03] <synic> cica: oh, no, go ahead
[07:03] <[Ex0r] > Jack_Sparrow- thats the same page im at. Exact layout, no go.
[07:03] <Shinzetsu> i have a program open that i cant close, another way?
[07:03] <[Ex0r] > direct
[07:03] <gerhard> yes
[07:03] <Jack_Sparrow> Sorry for the caps
[07:03] <cica> synic: thaanks
[07:03] <[mIkolan] > Any solution to the 5.10 installer locking up at the GRUB installation?
[07:03] <frying_fish> [Ex0r] : as I said, the order I gave is the correct order.
[07:03] <frying_fish> [mIkolan] : install 6.06 instead?
[07:03] <[Ex0r] > I have a belkin straight through I used for reference that works. I wired it exactly the same, and it doesnt work
[07:04] <burhan> [mIkolan] : use the dapper alternate install cd
[07:04] <[mIkolan] > can't
[07:04] <[mIkolan] > out of cd-r's
[07:04] <Jack_Sparrow> [Ex0r] : Are you sure you have the correct end up
[07:04] <frying_fish> [Ex0r] : you sure all the connections are correct
[07:04] <Shinzetsu> can I force a program to close?
[07:04] <frying_fish> Jack_Sparrow: if it's a patch cable it will be same at either end
[07:04] <frying_fish> Shinzetsu: sudo kill -9 PID
[07:04] <duaneb> how can I run a script OUTSIDE of xwindows?
[07:04] <burhan> Shinzetsu: sure, you can kill the process
[07:04] <Jack_Sparrow> [Ex0r] : Have you tested with meter to insure good connections at the rj45
[07:04] <frying_fish> where PID is the process ID of the program.
[07:04] <[Ex0r] > frying_fish- that's one of the many ways i've done it. Went through 6 wires so far.
[07:04] <Shinzetsu> PID?
[07:04] <duaneb> type 'top' :)
[07:05] <frying_fish> [Ex0r] : seriously, it is the correct setup, thats how I do mine, and how they are supposed to be
[07:05] <duaneb> anyway
[07:05] <duaneb> how can I run a script OUTSIDE of xwindows?
[07:05] <Shinzetsu> frying_fish: how do I find out the PID?
[07:05] <gerhard> errr doesnt work frying_fish
[07:05] <burhan> Shinzetsu: or, hit alt+f2, type xkill and hit enter -- when your mouse cursor changes, left click once on the offending program.
[07:05] <duaneb> I need it to install the nvidia driver
[07:05] <Jack_Sparrow> frying_fish: DOnt know if it is a patch or crossover until I ask
[07:05] <burhan> Shinzetsu: sudo ps aux | grep nameofprogram
[07:05] <frying_fish> gerhard: sudo aticonfig --initial didn't do anything?
[07:05] <synic> duaneb: /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[07:05] <[Ex0r] > frying_fish- and the pin on the rj45 faces down ?
[07:05] <gerhard> i didnt enter that command yet
[07:05] <duaneb> thanks
[07:05] <gerhard> now i will
[07:05] <fit4lfe> need help with remote desktop
[07:05] <frying_fish> [Ex0r] : with the pins up towards you, so the clip pointing away
[07:05] <fit4lfe> using vino
[07:06] <gerhard> aticonfig:command not found
[07:06] <duaneb> nope, doesn't work :/
[07:06] <frying_fish> pastebin slow for anyone else?
[07:06] <duaneb> can i just run it in safe mode?
[07:06] <fit4lfe> does vino need to be configured at all
[07:06] <duaneb> or a terminal mode somewhere?
[07:06] <frying_fish> gerhard: ok, maybe you need more, let me check what you need
[07:06] <fit4lfe> or does it just run on port 5900
[07:06] <fit4lfe> !remote desktop
[07:06] <ubotu> I know nothing about remote desktop - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[07:06] <[Ex0r] > yeah, that's what i was talking about. Clip pointing down
[07:06] <gerhard> how can you check that?
[07:06] <Shinzetsu> lol great now it xkilled my panel =p
[07:06] <frying_fish> duaneb: a script doesn't have to run in x, only if you call x programs.
[07:06] <Shinzetsu> ill just relog
[07:06] <fit4lfe> !remote\
[07:06] <ubotu> I know nothing about remote\ - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[07:06] <fit4lfe> !remote
[07:06] <ubotu> I know nothing about remote - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[07:07] <josh___> hey... question... anyone know how to set up an ftp server where people can upload to the upload folder but they cant delete/download what has been uploaded?
[07:07] <gerhard> frying_fish?
[07:07] <frying_fish> gerhard: aptitude install fgrlx-control linux-restricted-modules
[07:07] <Bob535> Stupid sound for flash
[07:07] <[Ex0r] > this is how the belkin wire is setup white orange - orange - white green - blue - white blue - green - white brown - brown
[07:07] <Bob535> tried all the listed fixes, no luck so far
[07:07] <Jack_Sparrow> [Ex0r] : This one shows the face/clip better  http://www.netspec.com/helpdesk/wiredoc.html
[07:07] <gerhard> ok i try, thanks
[07:07] <shawnr_> Bob535, lol
[07:08] <burhan> gerhard: sudo nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf -- find the line Section "Device" -- below it, you'll find Driver "somethinghere" replace that something here with the word flgrx so its Driver "fglrx" -- save the file, then sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart
[07:08] <Bob535> i wonder if it has anything to do with me running sound in cedega while i am trying everything
[07:08] <[Ex0r] > Jack_Sparrow- That is the exact way that the belkin wire is, and the one that I created is
[07:08] <fit4lfe> !vnc
[07:08] <ubotu> vnc is a way of doing remote desktop.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !freenx.
[07:09] <scenestar> hey
[07:09] <gerhard> thanks burhan but at the moment i am installing frying_fish s driver
[07:09] <josh___> fit4life... use freenx
[07:09] <Jack_Sparrow> [Ex0r] : Does the factory cable work?
[07:09] <[Ex0r] > yes
[07:09] <gerhard> it is ready now
[07:09] <josh___> better encryption
[07:09] <burhan> josh__: that's not possible as if you have access to write something to a folder, you automatically have access to delete.
[07:09] <Jack_Sparrow> [Ex0r] : Have you tested it with a meter?
[07:09] <gerhard> frying_fish what do i type now?
[07:09] <scenestar> can someone quickly tell me how i can use dselect for a list of installable packages
[07:09] <[Ex0r] > don't have one to test it with
[07:09] <frying_fish> gerhard: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:09] <gerhard> k
[07:09] <scenestar> it was some thing like dselect get selection
[07:09] <frying_fish> or aticonfig --initial
[07:09] <gerhard> sudo?
[07:09] <frying_fish> see if it makes something able to start X
[07:09] <frying_fish> yes with sudo
[07:09] <gerhard> ok
[07:10] <Jack_Sparrow> [Ex0r] : You can make one with an old flashlight if needed.
[07:10] <josh___> burhan... how can people do it on mirc then?
[07:10] <Jack_Sparrow> [Ex0r] : You just need to check contunity
[07:10] <burhan> gerhard: just replace the driver with something generic like 'vesa' so alteast you are back in X, and then read the wiki entry.
[07:10] <scenestar> mirc shouldnt be used
[07:10] <burhan> josh__: because mirc is not ftp
[07:10] <scenestar> its the white trash client
[07:11] <fernando_> Hola
[07:11] <josh___> .....i guess i will just have to write a bash script to check for files and change permissions of the files after an upload...
[07:11] <gerhard> he asks for the bus
[07:11] <Jack_Sparrow> !es
[07:11] <gerhard> PCI:1:5:0 is default
[07:11] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[07:11] <gerhard> is that right? its an onboard card
[07:12] <gerhard> hm i guess you cant know that
[07:12] <gerhard> so i will hit enter
[07:12] <josh___> pci means it not onboard
[07:12] <bigbill52a> i had a usb wireless on my old clunker...i could not keep the connection going..consistently...
[07:12] <dromedary> Hey guys my computer is messing up on the startup screen and I need to retrieve that startup scroll, what easy command-line command gives me access to this info?
[07:12] <josh___> pci is for cards...
[07:12] <[Ex0r] > Jack_Sparrow- I think I found what was wrong. The wire cutters keep cutting into the wire
[07:12] <trappist> josh___: no it doesn't.  onboard cards are often on the pci bus.
[07:12] <knapper> What repository can I find the latest Amorok? (1.4.1)
[07:12] <[Ex0r] > wire strippers*
[07:13] <josh___> oh my mistake, didn't know he was talking about the bus
[07:13] <vicscandl> dromedary: dmesg
[07:13] <Jack_Sparrow> [Ex0r] : that would do it.. those are not hard to make, but you get a feel for it after the first few times
[07:13] <gil> i am having some problems with Skype
[07:13] <trappist> knapper: deb http://kubuntu.org/packages/amarok-latest dapper main
[07:13] <dromedary> THANK YOU vicscandl.
[07:13] <duaneb> so when i run the nvidia installer, it says I need to exit X
[07:13] <[Ex0r] > Jack_Sparrow- I used to make them all the time a long time ago in school
[07:13] <duaneb> but then how can I run the program?
[07:14] <HackMaster> Is it possible to force the ubuntu livecd to use an existing swap partition on the computer hard drive?
[07:14] <knapper> ty
[07:14] <scenestar> duaneb
[07:14] <scenestar> its a CLI app
[07:14] <trappist> duaneb: don't use the nvidia installer.  apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r)
[07:14] <scenestar> not everything is gui
[07:14] <duaneb> heh
[07:14] <manmadha> how to install gtalk in linux??
[07:14] <gil> skype seems to lock up my machine ever now and then
[07:14] <duaneb> that doesn't work :p
[07:14] <josh___> daun ctrl+alt+f1
[07:14] <duaneb> thanks :D
[07:14] <gil> does anyone have a problem like this
[07:14] <trappist> josh___: that doesn't exit X
[07:14] <josh___> then log in and run from command
[07:15] <Jack_Sparrow> !hardware
[07:15] <ubotu> For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[07:15] <manmadha> how to install gtalk in linux??
[07:15] <josh___> no it doesn't exit but he can get to the prompt, type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[07:15] <burhan> HackMaster: it will detect it and use it, assuming its a linux swap.
[07:15] <josh___> or something like that
[07:15] <Jon1> Hallo friends I use Ubuntu 6.06 Dual Boot with success.. I have tried to install Jedit and I made the mistake to try install debian package without jre2. Now Synaptic Manager is blocked and a system Error does not allow me to install via apt-get install JRE2...Any help? How can I remove safely Jedit.. I can not see even its files in the usr /bin location..Thanks JONZ
[07:15] <Edark> ..
[07:15] <setuid> gerhard, archive.ubuntu.com is SLOOOOOW, 40k/sec.
[07:15] <setuid> gerhard, I'm looking for a faster site/mirror
[07:16] <gerhard> oh, maybe you can look at sourceforge?
[07:16] <gerhard> i dont know
[07:16] <setuid> gerhard, I mean for updates, not isos
[07:16] <HackMaster> Is it possible to force the ubuntu livecd to use an existing swap partition on the computer hard drive?
[07:16] <trappist> dude ephesius needs to figure it out
[07:16] <burhan> manmadha: http://www.google.com/talk/otherclients.html
[07:16] <gerhard> oh then I have no idea, sry i am a newbie
[07:16] <burhan> HackMaster: yes
[07:16] <dr_willis> HackMaster,  i thought it allready did
[07:16] <gil> i nead help with skype on dapper
[07:17] <dr_willis> HackMaster,  or at least ive seen about every other live cd auto see/use swap partitions
[07:17] <HackMaster> burhan, dr_willis: ok
[07:17] <setuid> gil, works great
[07:17] <HackMaster> burhan, dr_willis: the livecd reads the cd itself alot
[07:17] <HackMaster> burhan, dr_willis: and it is almost unusable
[07:17] <_bush> my setup hangs at the beginning of the install and my cd is good, what do i do
[07:17] <burhan> HackMaster: how much ram do you have?
[07:17] <gerhard> well, i followed the instructions, then i was at the color depth and he went back to console, i typed startx but it was the same error
[07:17] <HackMaster> burhan, dr_willis: 64 installed
[07:17] <HackMaster> burhan, dr_willis: installing xubuntu
[07:18] <burhan> 64 MB?!
[07:18] <gil> setuid, it works ok for me BUT every so often it locks up the system when i try to call or chat
[07:18] <dr_willis> HackMaster,  thats just the nature of live cd's
[07:18] <HackMaster> burhan, dr_willis: i tried to use the alternate install cd to install, it worked but gave me no WM
[07:18] <burhan> HackMaster: that's how its supposed to work (no WM)
[07:18] <gerhard> frying_fish? burhan?
[07:18] <burhan> HackMaster: you can install it later. The livecd requires *minimum* 128MB
[07:19] <duaneb> nope, ctrl-alt-f1 didn't work
[07:19] <duaneb> It said I still had X running
[07:19] <burhan> gerhard: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[07:19] <gerhard> i try
[07:19] <HackMaster> burhan, dr_willis: how to i get gnome to install after i get to the command line?
[07:19] <duaneb> and when I tried using apt-get, it said 'Couldn't find package linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-26-amd64-generic
[07:19] <duaneb> '
[07:20] <burhan> HackMaster: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop -- but I don't suggest you install gnome if you have 64MB of ram
[07:20] <_bush> HackMaster its pointless to try with 65mbit ram
[07:20] <gerhard> burhan, same error
[07:20] <_bush> 64*
[07:20] <gerhard> why does the live cd work and the install cd not??
[07:21] <whirm> hi
[07:21] <gerhard> hi whirm
[07:21] <burhan> gerhard: sudo nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf -- scroll down to Section "Device" -- change Driver "whateverishere" to Driver "vesa", save the file, exit out of nano -- then type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[07:21] <HackMaster> burhan, dr_willis, _bush: thats why i want to use the xubuntu WM
[07:21] <gerhard> thx, mom
[07:21] <burhan> HackMaster: even then, it won't be worth it.
[07:21] <HackMaster> burhan, dr_willis, _bush: why not?
[07:22] <burhan> HackMaster: because with 64MB of RAM, your computer will barely be usable with *any* WM
[07:22] <dr_willis> apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[07:22] <vicscandl> party the ubuntu way linux_manju!
[07:22] <duaneb> so how should I install the driver if apt-get doesn't work and I can't quit X?
[07:22] <whirm> I'm trying to remaster edubuntu, and I can do it with no problems. But if I install the postfix package sudo stops to work in the live-cd... :-(((
[07:22] <whirm> someone has any clues?
[07:22] <dr_willis> HackMaster,  you proberly want to use some alternative light window manager - like icewm, or fluxbox
[07:23] <dr_willis> HackMaster,  you may want to use some very-light disrto like 'dsl' or 'dsl-n'
[07:23] <vicscandl> burhan: you run flux?
[07:23] <burhan> I used to, many moons ago.
[07:23] <elias> Is there a way with ACLs or something else to make all new files and/or folders created in one dir belong to a certain group?
[07:23] <gerhard> burhan, same error as every time
[07:23] <burhan> gerhard: what is the error?
[07:23] <gerhard> wait a sec, i have to provoke it again
[07:23] <linux_manju> vicscandl: Yea.. Party... Man It will break down.. It took almost 45 seconds for all the names to scroll
[07:24] <HackMaster> so xubuntu will not work on 64MB ram?
[07:24] <dr_willis> HackMaster,  it will work.. but will be slow i bet..
[07:24] <gerhard> a lot, i cant type it all
[07:24] <burhan> HackMaster: no
[07:24] <gebruiker> when I invoke: hdparm -d1 /dev/hda it works, but when I modify /etc/hdparm.conf,(i.e enable command_line hdparm -d1 /dev/hda) it tells me: * Setting disc parameters...  * No disk enabled. Exiting...
[07:24] <gerhard> i see what may be important
[07:24] <dr_willis> HackMaster,  ive ran it on a low end laptop.. and it was annoying slow. but goahead and try it.
[07:24] <void^> HackMaster: it will work fine, but any applications you may want to run on top of it will probably cause lots of pain ;)
[07:24] <HackMaster> dr_willis, burhan: mainly firefox
[07:25] <A[D] minS> hello
[07:25] <burhan> HackMaster: errm, no. That will most definately not work too well.
[07:25] <A[D] minS> now am using live cd+installer
[07:25] <HackMaster> dr_willis, burhan: its such a nice computer though, i want to do some sort of linux distro
[07:25] <dr_willis> HackMaster,  try it and see.  you could run firefox fullscreen with no window manager..
[07:25] <gerhard> durhan, XIO: Fatal IO Error 104, Connection reset by peer on X server ":0.0" after 0 requests bla bla
[07:25] <A[D] minS> but i just want to reinstall boot loader
[07:25] <HackMaster> dr_willis, burhan: that possible?
[07:25] <A[D] minS> so where i can find rescue mode ?
[07:25] <Jack_Sparrow> !grub
[07:25] <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
[07:25] <linux_manju> gebruiker: did ya specify ROOTFS parameter
[07:25] <burhan> gerhard: restart the machine
[07:25] <Dodzey> where are the config files that gnome uses to determine which software to open URL's or certain file types etc? hyperlinks in software open in firefox, i would like them to open in flock
[07:26] <dr_willis> HackMaster,  ive ran firefox on miniomal systems.. it can work.. and it can be slow. so go try it and see if it works for you.
[07:26] <harisund> Does anyone know of a method of rsyncing my Windows laptop to my Ubuntu backup file server?
[07:26] <gerhard> ok, cu
[07:26] <linux_manju> gebruiker: It should be set to /dev/hda or hdb
[07:26] <burhan> Dodzey: system > preferences > preferred applications
[07:27] <biblioteca> hollla
[07:27] <Dodzey> ive already set my webbrowser to flock, but it still doesnt load links from gaim etc in it...are there and config files i can look at?
[07:27] <hussam> is it possible to edit the font settings use in gdm?
[07:27] <elias> nobody any idea about ACLs?
[07:27] <HackMaster> dr_willis, burhan: right now xfce is doing quite well for a livecd
[07:27] <burhan> Dodzey: probably for each app individually
[07:27] <linux_manju> elias: You mean facls?
[07:27] <scowfield> chris garcia
[07:27] <hussam> there's nothing about the in gdmsetup
[07:27] <dr_willis> hussam,  gdm has a config file with lots of settings that are not shown in gdmsetup
[07:27] <scowfield> hi wats your name
[07:27] <HackMaster> dr_willis, burhan: the main issue is that i must install to a hard drive, then move the hard drive to these dummy computers without CD drives
[07:27] <dr_willis> hussam,  i think you just set what theme it uses however.. not sure.
[07:27] <burhan> HackMaster: well, if its good for you, then go ahead with it. For me, I would run only console and a bunch of server apps.

[07:29] <A[D] minS> grub> root (hd0,11)
[07:29] <A[D] minS>  Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
[07:29] <dr_willis> HackMaster,  its a skill worth learning.
[07:29] <A[D] minS> is that Okay ?
[07:29] <josh___> exit
[07:29] <burhan> Dodzey: I don't know, but make a backup first.
[07:29] <gerhard> theres a box which says in german that x couldnt be launched because it may be configured wrong
[07:29] <HackMaster> dr_willis, burhan: i agree, but ugg
[07:29] <Jack_Sparrow> Wow.. partition # 11?
[07:30] <Dodzey> burhan: yeah, will do, its actually an s link to /etc/gnome/defaults.list so ill back it up there
[07:30] <MinceR> what's the difference between the courier-maildrop and maildrop packages?

[07:30] <digiwork> you tell me
[07:30] <DamianFinol> Hey guys, I just did a fresh install of ubuntu 6.06 on my PC and I tried sudo and su, but it won't accept the password: I tried using the user password, nope, I tried no password, and nothing.
[07:30] <DamianFinol> Is there like a default password?
[07:30] <burhan> !sudo > DamianFinol
[07:30] <Bob535> sudo should be the default user password
[07:30] <gerhard> burhan, wait
[07:30] <HackMaster> is Xfce included on the alternate install CD?
[07:30] <burhan> HackMaster: no
[07:31] <DamianFinol> burhan Yes, that's not very informative is int.
[07:31] <Jack_Sparrow> I thought Linux would only work on one of the first 4 partitions?
[07:31] <dr_willis> HackMaster,  on the xuntu alternatve cd - it is.
[07:31] <DamianFinol> burhan I tried sudo and it asks me for a password when trying to use a program, however it doesn't accept the passwords.
[07:31] <Jon1> Knows anyone how I can remove a wrong installation of Jedit in Ubuntu? Thanks Jonz
[07:31] <burhan> DamianFinol: depends on how well you read it.
[07:31] <DamianFinol> burhan So there, any ideas?
[07:31] <burhan> DamianFinol: are you trying the same user that you created at system startup or another user that you created later?
[07:31] <gerhard> burhan: could you type it again? i was not fast enough
[07:31] <DamianFinol> same user
[07:31] <burhan> gerhard: grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[07:32] <HackMaster> burhan, dr_willis: if i have ubuntu installed, no WM, and i wanted to install a window manager from cd, would i use the ubuntu alt cd or the xubuntu install cd, or neither?
[07:32] <mmass0nnet> hi
[07:32] <gerhard> greep: command not found
[07:32] <burhan> gerhard: read what I wrote
[07:32] <dr_willis> HackMaster,  the normal alt cd. has Gnome, the xubuntu one has xfce.
[07:32] <Jon1> Can anyone how I can remove a worng installation of Jedit in Ubuntu? It blocks synaptic Manager
[07:32] <gerhard> ah grep sorry
[07:32] <burhan> DamianFinol: type groups
[07:32] <mmass0nnet> I don't know how to add a locales to my system, can anyone help me?  I'm trying with sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
[07:33] <HackMaster> burhan, dr_willis: how do i install it then?
[07:33] <burhan> !locales > mmass0nnet
[07:33] <HackMaster> burhan, dr_willis:  apt-get xfce from.my.cd?
[07:33] <gerhard> burhan, 2x (EE) Problem parsing the config file
[07:33] <gerhard> everything seems wrong :-(
[07:33] <burhan> gerhard: you made a typo somewhere in the file.
[07:33] <wolfeySI> im looking at how to setup job with cron
[07:34] <wolfeySI> im a bit confused
[07:34] <dr_willis> apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[07:34] <DocTomoe> I have a major dpkg issue ... Something got stuck during an apt-get dist-upgrade, and I do not seem to either install, reinstall, remove or purge libapache-mod-tsunami, which was selected as a dependency of something other. Keeps telling me apache is not installed (which is correct as I use apache2). dpkg -r libapache-mod-tsunami won't work, too. Ignoring is not an option, as this jams every activity with the package manager.  Any helpful i
[07:34] <burhan> gerhard: delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf -- then sudo dpkg-reconfiger xserver-xorg
[07:34] <gerhard> ok
[07:35] <ravenous> can someone give me a tut or howto link on installing a .pcf font via cli?
[07:35] <gerhard> delete:command not found
[07:35] <gerhard> ???
[07:35] <ravenous> try rm
[07:35] <ravenous> 'remove'
[07:35] <gerhard> ok
[07:35] <gerhard> worked
[07:36] <burhan> ravenous: I can give you a link -- http://www.google.com/search?q=install+pcf+font+linux
[07:36] <MinceR> duh. the end of the description told me what the difference was.
[07:36] <wheels3572> Is there any support for Lexmark Printers w/Ubuntu?
[07:36] <HackMaster> burhan, dr_willis:  i assume from the lack of answers that it is not possibel to install packages from CD
[07:36] <modesto> DocTomoe: last line that I read: "manager.  Any helpful i"
[07:36] <burhan> wheels3572: best to check your model number at linuxprinting.org
[07:36] <adiddy> hi ya
[07:36] <gerhard> can I scroll the irc window anyway? I lost your typings again
[07:36] <adiddy> lol
[07:36] <HackMaster> burhan, dr_willis:  i assume from the lack of answers that it is not possibel to install packages from CD in command line
[07:36] <wheels3572> Ok ty
[07:36] <burhan> gerhard: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:36] <gerhard> thx
[07:36] <adiddy> us ethe force kid
[07:37] <DocTomoe> modesto: try http://pastebin.ca/122418 then , If you like :)
[07:37] <adiddy> u can install ubuntu
[07:37] <burhan> HackMaster: he just told you how.
[07:37] <adiddy> the live cd also includes an installer
[07:37] <HackMaster> burhan, dr_willis: woh?
[07:37] <gerhard> burhan, there comes a dialogue
[07:37] <HackMaster> burhan, dr_willis: who?
[07:37] <burhan> dr_willis:
[07:37] <MinceR> byte
[07:37] <burhan> gerhard: answer the questions according to what your system is.
[07:37] <adiddy> gave up on knoppix but having issues with ubuntu audio
[07:38] <gerhard> i tried that once, but it didnt work
[07:38] <burhan> HackMaster: just type sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[07:38] <gerhard> i will try again but i guess it wont work too
[07:38] <adiddy> no audio with amrrox
[07:38] <burhan> gerhard: try it now, and when it comes down to the video part, choose 'vesa'
[07:38] <HackMaster> but thats from the network, correct?
[07:38] <gerhard> ok
[07:38] <modesto> DocTomoe: ahhh, the rest of the story... thx... speaking of urls:
[07:38] <ravenous> HackMaster: if your cd is in your sources.list its coming off the cd
[07:38] <burhan> HackMaster: no, it will first search the cd, then the network. You really need to learn how to use the cli :)
[07:38] <DocTomoe> adiddy: specify: absolutely no audio or only no audio at mp3 files?
[07:38] <adiddy> hm
[07:39] <adiddy> at mp3?
[07:39] <HackMaster> i know i need to learn CLI
[07:39] <adiddy> i can get the soft sound from the os at least
[07:39] <HackMaster> everybody must start somewhere
[07:39] <gerhard> burhan: ok, the dialogue ended
[07:39] <DocTomoe> adiddy: have you installed the RestrictedFormats?
[07:39] <Chousuke> HackMaster: Have fun.
[07:39] <adiddy> dunno doc
[07:39] <Chousuke> HackMaster: It's really useful. :)
[07:39] <burhan> gerhard: now, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[07:39] <HackMaster> the CD is in sources.list by default, correct?
[07:39] <gerhard> ok
[07:40] <burhan> HackMaster: yes
[07:40] <DocTomoe> adiddy: have a read: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[07:40] <Tsora> can anyone point me in the direction of a howto or help on configuring a DLink DWL-G510 ver B wireless card in ubuntu?
[07:40] <adiddy> why?
[07:40] <Chousuke> Strictly speaking, learning the command line probably isn't required with Linux distros nowadays
[07:40] <adiddy>  all i want to do is stream
[07:40] <burhan> Tsora: have you already tried the wiki?
[07:40] <HackMaster> i am trying to do everything in a terminal window, but there are some things that confuse me
[07:40] <adiddy> oh wiat mp3 doe swork
[07:40] <HackMaster> i will be right back
[07:40] <Chousuke> but since most help is given as command line commands, it does help
[07:40] <adiddy> use dit with odeo.com
[07:40] <burhan> Chousuke: you are so wrong.
[07:40] <DocTomoe> adiddy: because reading makes you smart. and smart kids get mp3 audio in ubuntu :)
[07:40] <adiddy> video still sucks
[07:40] <Tsora> burhan: yeah, i checked there, but i'm still stumped
[07:40] <Jon1> Hallo friends Could you help me to remove a wrong installation of Jedit in Ubuntu ?.it gives a System error..Thanks
[07:40] <burhan> Chousuke: without the use of cli -- most people are stuck :)
[07:40] <adiddy> have it
[07:41] <Chousuke> burhan: are you sure?
[07:41] <adiddy> workin odeo like i said
[07:41] <burhan> Chousuke: yes, especially when something breaks.
[07:41] <Chousuke> burhan: the CLI is just the most convenient way of giving help.
[07:41] <DocTomoe> adiddy: do read that page. Tells you about sucking video, too.
[07:41] <ravenous> xorg especially
[07:41] <rodders> Can anyone tell me what packages to install to get the "make" nd compilation utilities for ubunut?
[07:41] <adiddy> nah
[07:41] <burhan> Chousuke: its the most powerful way of using the system.
[07:41] <DocTomoe> rodders: build-essential
[07:41] <Chousuke> well, xorg is a special case. :P
[07:41] <ravenous> rodders: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[07:41] <rodders> thanks
[07:41] <Chousuke> burhan: yes, I know that.
[07:41] <Tsora> Apparently my card works great with ubuntu through madwifi, but I don't know how to start configuring it
[07:41] <Chousuke> but it's not strictly necessary to learn it .P
[07:42] <adiddy> is there any way to get ver. 6?
[07:42] <yeegads> Anyone here know how to set up persistent session storage from LiveCD to a flash drive?
[07:42] <Chousuke> unless x.org breaks.
[07:42] <burhan> Chousuke: I don't want to argue with you on this, but yes, it is. Anyone tells you otherwise, is kidding themselves.
[07:42] <adiddy> i need live cd for 6
[07:42] <gerhard_> burhan:it worked
[07:42] <Chousuke> then you'll have problems if you haven't a clue about the command line.
[07:42] <gerhard_> i am in vesa mode now
[07:42] <burhan> gerhard_: good, now read the wiki and setup your ati video card properly.
[07:42] <burhan> !ati > gerhard_
[07:42] <ravenous> if your wanting something not in the repos and need to compile it cli is essential as well
[07:42] <adiddy> command li9ne is needed less and less
[07:42] <vicscandl> Jonl: mmm jedit... installing now, forgot to... thanks!
[07:42] <Chousuke> burhan: I can't think of many scenarios where the command line would be strictly necessary.
[07:42] <ADminS> !drub
[07:42] <ubotu> I know nothing about drub - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[07:43] <gerhard_> thx, i will try that
[07:43] <ADminS> !grub
[07:43] <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
[07:43] <adiddy> gui in linux is so good now
[07:43] <HackMaster> burhan, dr_willis: "E: Couldn't find package xubuntu-desktop"
[07:43] <Chousuke> burhan: Infinitely easier that the GUI way, yes, but not necessary.
[07:43] <adiddy> gui is easier
[07:43] <RonSijm> hi
[07:43] <Chousuke> nay.
[07:43] <DocTomoe> adiddy: I tend to disagree
[07:43] <HackMaster> burhan, dr_willis: do i need to mount the cd?
[07:43] <burhan> Chousuke: like I said, I don't want to argue/discuss this with you -- just trust me when I tell you -- cli is necessary.
[07:43] <adiddy> greta doc
[07:43] <DocTomoe> cli is much easier
[07:43] <adiddy> cli is fine but i don't have the time
[07:44] <Chousuke> burhan: Heh. I can't accept such an argument .P
[07:44] <yeegads> Persistent session storage on a flash drive when using a LiveCD of 6.06 LTS?
[07:44] <DocTomoe> adiddy: then you shouldn't use something other than a cli
[07:44] <rodders> thanks guys - build-essential was the one!!  BTW where can I find docs regarding all this info?
[07:44] <ekp> hi
[07:44] <adiddy> no time for  the long drawn out way who does
[07:44] <brian10161> does anyone know how to install an aac decoder for ubuntu? i finally got mp3 working, now i need aac >.<
[07:44] <RonSijm> on ubuntu, what nero version should i download?
[07:44] <RonSijm>  downlaod NeroLINUX rpm trial version here 	download button of NeroLINUX rpm trial version
[07:44] <RonSijm>  download NeroLINUX deb trial version here
[07:44] <Lard-O-Lad> when is issue the shutdown command in ubuntu sometimes it doesnt shutdown, it simply hangs, what can i do to fix this?
[07:44] <DocTomoe> RonSijm: on ubuntu, use k3m
[07:44] <adiddy> doc dude stop im'ing me!
[07:44] <RonSijm> k3m?
[07:44] <ekp> are there any issues with connecting to DSL with ubuntu?
[07:44] <Chousuke> k3b
[07:44] <adiddy> k3b
[07:45] <gerhard_> i am afk, eating dinner
[07:45] <DocTomoe> adiddy: you might want to explain what "imming" is.
[07:45] <adiddy> insant messages dude
[07:45] <burhan> Chousuke: once you have administered remote computers, or had to troubleshoot or even USE a system over ssh, you will quickly learn to appreciate the cli. In fact, the GUI is entirely *optional* in linux, as witnessed by any server installation of ubuntu. Most people that know how to use linux will tell you, cli knowledge is essential, without it, you are just hoping nothing breaks, because then you are stuck.
[07:45] <gerhard_> bye and thx for your help burhan and frying_fish
[07:45] <RonSijm> hmm.. i want to make a bootable windows cd, and all the tutorials show it with nero
[07:45] <adiddy> comand line whatever
[07:45] <RonSijm> my windows broke, and my cd isnt bootable
[07:45] <Jack_Sparrow> RonSijm: deb
[07:45] <DocTomoe> adiddy: yo dude, no idea whad nigga is im'ing you, but it's not me, ya know?
[07:45] <Chousuke> burhan: I know all that.
[07:45] <DocTomoe> please learn proper English
[07:45] <adiddy> command line happens
[07:46] <burhan> Chousuke: then stop saying stuff like 'its not necessary'.
[07:46] <Chousuke> burhan: but for a common user, it's not necesary.
[07:46] <Chousuke> +s
[07:46] <adiddy> please chill and stop talking to me
[07:46] <[Ex0r] > grrr, after making 6 cables, ended up being the rj45's were bad
[07:46] <burhan> *sigh*
[07:46] <[Ex0r] > 14 dollars for junk
[07:46] <Chousuke> since they'll call support when something breaks :P
[07:46] <burhan> !worksforme
[07:46] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[07:46] <adiddy> ahh
[07:46] <Chousuke> I'm not in any way saying that you shouldn't learn the CLI
[07:46] <DocTomoe> adiddy: Welcome to my ever-growing list of irc trolls, and welcome on igno
[07:46] <Seveas> DocTomoe, adiddy quit it now.
[07:46] <adiddy> yup thanks doc
[07:47] <Chousuke> I use the cli all the time :P
[07:47] <ekp> has anyone had problems with connecting to DSL with ubuntu?
[07:47] <adiddy> quit what?
[07:47] <adiddy> he messaged me
[07:47] <Chousuke> and I'm on OS X
[07:47] <Chousuke> ;P
[07:47] <DocTomoe> ekp: depends on your dsl modem
[07:47] <dr_willis_> :)
[07:47] <RonSijm> ..i downloaded em both, how do i install .deb or .rpm ?
[07:47] <adiddy> ok

[07:48] <ADminS>  Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83grub> root (hd0,11)
[07:48] <ADminS>  Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 <-- is that okay or there is somethin wrong ?
[07:48] <burhan> RonSijm: first, what are you trying to install?
 what modems would not work?
[07:48] <adiddy> i've been using the built in installer only
[07:48] <Seveas> RonSijm, rpms should be avoided
[07:48] <edgy> Hi, I moved my site to another host. is it possible to let the old company forward the old ip to my new site for people using the ip?

[07:49] <ekp> OK.  If you talk to any ISP they will tell you they do not support Linux
[07:50] <ekp> which usually means they do not know shit

[07:51] <ekp> Road Runner is getting to expensive
[07:51] <edgy> Seveas: so there is not way but to host a page on that server to redirect to our new server?
[07:51] <Seveas> !windows
[07:51] <ubotu> For help with Microsoft windows, please visit ##windows or your nearest mental health institute. Also see http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 - !equivalents - http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm
[07:51] <burhan> Seveas: what's the factoid for that?
[07:51] <adiddy> i us ethe built in installer in u
[07:51] <yeegads> Anyone here know how to set up persistent session storage from LiveCD to a flash drive?
[07:51] <duaneb> ok
[07:51] <Seveas> edgy, sure if they let you, but that has nothing to do with ubuntu
[07:52] <duaneb> so I have  geforce 6100 integrated graphics
[07:52] <Seveas> yeegads, search the wiki for livecd persistence
[07:52] <adiddy> windows is worthless try #morons
[07:52] <boolka> for swap, should bootable flag be on or off?
[07:52] <duaneb> nv or nvidia?
[07:52] <wolfeySI> lol
[07:52] <duaneb> for the driver
[07:52] <duaneb> heelp
[07:52] <duaneb> please
[07:52] <yeegads> Seveas:  thanks.  where's the wiki?
[07:52] <Seveas> boolka, off
[07:52] <burhan> duaneb: try nv for now, nvidia is I think what got you in trouble :)
[07:52] <dr_willis_> boolka,  it dosent matter.. so leave it off.
[07:52] <Seveas> yeegads, wiki.ubuntu.com
[07:52] <lhds> euh the linux folder in /usr/src stands for linux headers? or linux source or what?
[07:52] <adiddy> wiki
[07:52] <duaneb> and my identifier?
[07:52] <yeegads> Seveas:  Thanks!
[07:53] <adiddy> try the wiki my man
[07:53] <Seveas> lhds, could be both
[07:53] <burhan> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ is the wiki
[07:53] <wolfeySI> does anyone here uses cron and would help me a little?
[07:53] <ReservoirGod> Seveas: is it possible to run linux applications from cygwin- applications compiled to work on cygwin that is-
[07:53] <adiddy> no
[07:53] <duaneb> I don't HAVE a graphics card :|
[07:53] <lip1> lol, each time I use control + f in firefox it crashes
[07:53] <Seveas> burhan, that page is not moved yet iirc
[07:53] <duaneb> swo why is it ASKING for one?
[07:53] <adiddy> don't do that
[07:53] <adiddy> or reboot
[07:53] <duaneb> anyone
[07:53] <adiddy> simple a sthat
[07:53] <Seveas> ReservoirGod, dude, we don't support windows in here, go to ##windows
[07:53] <burhan> Seveas: most redirect there afaik. Try https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Video for instance.
[07:53] <adiddy> or get a new mouse
[07:54] <adiddy> a new mouse will fix most linux issues
[07:54] <DocTomoe> Again I ask ... anyone has an idea how to repair a fooked up deb database? Full problem description is at http://pastebin.ca/122418
[07:54] <boolka> Whats the difference between a primary and logical partitions?
[07:54] <caneba> hey is it true you can write to ntfs now in 2.6?
[07:54] <adiddy> plus get more ram for your mouse
[07:54] <wolfeySI> lip1: i think it could be messed up config ... /home/user/.mozilla/firefox/
[07:54] <Seveas> boolka, a disk can only have 4 primary partitions, logical partitions are 'part of' a primary partition
[07:54] <wolfeySI> boolka: only primary partition can be bootable
[07:54] <adiddy> u may nee dto reformat your  modem
[07:54] <burhan> caneba: its still experimental.
[07:54] <caneba> :/
[07:54] <BlueEagle> duaneb: You don't have a graphics card?
[07:55] <BlueEagle> duaneb: Will your mobo even boot without one?
[07:55] <ReservoirGod> Seveas: lol- i hear ya- btw- i use ubuntu- am stuck using windows for now- and its giving me jitterbugs
[07:55] <duaneb> i have integratted :)
[07:55] <Seveas> BlueEagle, on board graphics chip I assume 
[07:55] <adiddy> u might need to  re work the back end complie platform input device
[07:55] <boolka> Seveas, so I should make /boot  the only primary, the rest  logical?
[07:55] <BlueEagle> duaneb: Stil that's a graphics card.
[07:55] <adiddy> don't use win xp
[07:55] <duaneb> so how can I figure out the identifier?
[07:55] <Ackeubu_> what is the name of the app that can change the loggin screen?
[07:55] <Seveas> boolka, as long as you have 4 or less partitions you can make them all primary
[07:55] <twotwenty> !kvm
[07:55] <ubotu> I know nothing about kvm - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[07:55] <Seveas> Ackeubu_, gdmsetup
[07:55] <adiddy> use a mac
[07:55] <twotwenty> what's kvm?
[07:55] <edgy> Seveas: yes sorry for the unrelavent question
[07:56] <burhan> keyboard video mouse = kvm (normally)
[07:56] <adiddy> www.apple.com/macpro
[07:56] <bbrazil> wolfeySI: ever heard f the 1024 cylindar limit?
[07:56] <linuxpoet> Does anyone have any idea why I would only have []  []  []  []  for letters when clicking open in  openoffice.org
[07:56] <Ackeubu_> seveas thanks
[07:56] <adiddy> reboot your butt
[07:56] <Seveas> wolfeySI, grub won't install on xfs or certain lvm/raid combinations -- separate boot is useful there
[07:56] <DocTomoe> wolfeySI: getting your system to boot even when the / partition is defective?
[07:56] <burhan> wolfeySI: safety for one, you don't mount it automatically so you don't fubar your kernel by mistake :)
[07:56] <BlueEagle> boolka: Not neccessarily. My scheme is sda1=windows, sda2=swap, sda3=/boot sda4=extended with loads of logical partitions.
[07:56] <Seveas> linuxpoet, missing fonts I think
[07:56] <wolfeySI> DocTomoe: rescue cd..
[07:56] <adiddy> i would buy a mac and be done with it
[07:56] <galorin> wolfeySI, I have a raid5 partition for / and I need / on a non-raid partition in order to bring my system up.
[07:56] <linuxpoet> Any idea which?
[07:56] <twotwenty> what's kvm?
[07:56] <adiddy> non raid? omg
[07:56] <BlueEagle> boolka: You don't even need to have your /boot on a primary partition
[07:56] <wolfeySI> galorin: i understand for scsi and raid
[07:57] <acojlo> i need some standard .bashrc file
[07:57] <adiddy> no raid can't kill the bugg
[07:57] <Seveas> twotwenty, a device to connect one set of keyboard/mouse to multiple computers
[07:57] <boolka> I see... sorry Im new to linux, but want to learn
[07:57] <ReservoirGod> linuxpoet: which language are you using? english?
[07:57] <galorin> rather /boot on non-raid
[07:57] <adiddy> word e'm ken dawg
[07:57] <duaneb> and what do I put for my bus identifier?
[07:57] <BlueEagle> boolka: You don't need to be sorry. :)
[07:57] <adiddy> 3wjhjkdhrgvtujhrjfhgkjschrekljc hilisahgtlieaprlghifejklghlkejhgklhdsgilkgfhgjk
[07:57] <galorin> My raid is on IDE
[07:57] <linuxpoet> ReservoirGod: yes en
[07:57] <burhan> oh lol thanks Seveas :)
[07:57] <duaneb> anyone?
[07:58] <lip1> I am getting errors while pluging my laserjet 3050 on dapper 6.06
[07:58] <lip1> error on dmesg is: usb 2-7: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 22// device descriptor read/64, error -71
[07:58] <BlueEagle> boolka: If you're interested in the basics then reading the gentoo installation handbook (atleast the older ones before they started with the "automatic installer") can be very helpful even if not all of it applies to all distros.
[07:58] <duaneb> ehh, whatever
[07:58] <duaneb> I'll just do a clean install
[07:58] <duaneb> but I need this graphics driver!
[07:58] <boolka> is 25 gigs out of 80 appropriete for /usr?
[07:58] <duaneb> I use 30
[07:58] <Seveas> boolka, why would you sparate /usr /home etc..?
[07:59] <duaneb> I give 5 for the rest of /
[07:59] <duaneb> so you can do a clean install without losing software or documents
[07:59] <burhan> boolka: definately separate /home -- but stick the rest on one if I were you.
[07:59] <Nailor> Hey, is it possible that libdbus-1-cil or libipoddev0 broke my suspend?
[07:59] <wheels3572> Does anyone have a Lexmark X63 working with Ubuntu?
[07:59] <[b] urk> i agree, one for /home and one for the rest
[07:59] <DocTomoe> lip1: Could your printer board be defective? I recall having had such an error message after a thunderstorm fragged my hp deskjet 3560
[07:59] <Lard-O-Lad> how can i get GRUB to boot from a USB stick or cd?
[08:00] <wolfeySI> is this a valid cron line?    20 12,22 * * * /usr/local/bin/backup
[08:00] <[b] urk> in that way you can reinstall linux and still keep your home folder
[08:00] <BlueEagle> boolka: It's not about how big something should be or not. It kinda depends on what you want to achieve.
[08:00] <ispiked> whyam I getting a 404 when updating gnome-games?
[08:00] <burhan> Lard-O-Lad: cd is possible, don't know about usb disk. You'd have to read the grub manual for that info.
[08:00] <Seveas> ispiked, try apt-get update
[08:00] <KenSentMe> wheels3572: check here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters
[08:00] <linuxd00d> does anyone here play bzflag?
[08:00] <duaneb>  I do
[08:00] <duaneb> every now and then
 ty, think i found the CD boot (http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Chainloading_a_bootable_CD-ROM_from_GRUB#Create_a_GRUB_entry)
[08:01] <duaneb> but I need my GRAPHICS DRIVER xO
[08:01] <galorin> linuxd00d, used to but not anymore
[08:01] <Bob535> Hmmm, trying to install the totem firefox plug, getting the following error:
[08:01] <Bob535> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[08:01] <Bob535>   totem-gstreamer-firefox-plugin: Depends: totem-gstreamer (= 1.4.1-0ubuntu4) but 1.4.3-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
[08:01] <burhan> Lard-O-Lad: yeah, gentoo have the greatest docs :)
[08:01] <mooni>  Hi, is it possible to send a command to a application that is screened? (ive done 'screen -dmS test /bin/bash' and i want to send 'echo hello' to it.)
[08:01] <linuxpoet> anyone?
[08:01] <Lard-O-Lad> hehe
[08:01] <boolka> Well Im planning on playing games, as I understand it   /usr is for software  /home is for user created data,   themes, docs, videos.......   Incase i try diffrent distro ( im pretty sure i wont)  i dont want to lose everything
[08:01] <DocTomoe> OK, here goes my apt-get blues again: libapache-mod-tsunami blocks my system. It got selected as a dependency of something I cannot recall, now it neither gets installed nor deinstalled, and throws errors. Upgrading is not possible, either. I am really in need for help here.
[08:02] <sethk> DocTomoe, use dpkg to force the uninstall to complete
[08:02] <burhan> boolka: if you change distros, it won't matter what is in /usr because more than likely the new distro won't have the same layout as the one you were using.
[08:02] <Seveas> mooni, you could speak the screen protocol to its socket...
[08:02] <Seveas> it's not easy though
[08:02] <DocTomoe> sethk: how exactly? I've fiddling with that for bout 2 hours now
[08:02] <mooni> Seveas: any idea what to google for?
[08:02] <mooni> maby you could help me.
[08:02] <burhan> mooni: wild thought echo "foo" > /dev/ttyxx whatever it was where you launched it from?
[08:03] <sethk> DocTomoe, which of the --force-XXXX options have you tried?
[08:03] <Seveas> burhan, heh
[08:03] <Seveas> good one
[08:03] <DocTomoe> sethk: --force-all?
[08:03] <ispiked> Seveas: jeez. now I'm showing a lot of udpates.
[08:03] <Seveas> ispiked, 
[08:03] <sethk> DocTomoe, when you start, does it tell you that it is doing a forced reinstall?
[08:03] <mooni> burhan: how do i know the tty?
[08:04] <burhan> mooni: ps aux | grep screen
[08:04] <DocTomoe> sethk: I don't want it installed, I want it removed
[08:04] <burhan> mooni: that should tell you
[08:04] <sethk> DocTomoe, I know, I'm asking what happens when you try to do it, or try to install something else.  what is, exactly, the first error?
[08:04] <DocTomoe> sethk: it tells me something like "Error: apache appears not to be installed", then that dpkg speaks about an error code 1, then it dies
[08:05] <DocTomoe> sethk: basically, that's correct: I do not use apache, but apache2
[08:05] <mooni> burhan:
[08:05] <mooni> # ps aux | grep SCREEN
[08:05] <mooni> root     17013  0.0  0.2   3024  1304 ?        Ss   19:56   0:00 SCREEN -dmS test /bin/bash
[08:05] <Witigonen> Hey everyone.  So, hal was uninstalled as a dep.  How can I manually load the network card?
[08:05] <burhan> mooni: hrmm
[08:05] <mooni> anything there? :|
[08:05] <burhan> there goes that idea lol
[08:05] <Seveas> Witigonen, that sounds BAD -- install ubuntu-base (or preferably ubuntu-desktop)
[08:05] <duaneb> goddamn grpahics driver!
[08:05] <Seveas> !language > duaneb
[08:05] <sethk> DocTomoe, ok, and when you try to deinstall apache?  what does it say?
[08:06] <duaneb> sorry
[08:06] <Jack_Sparrow> duaneb: Dont blame the driver.. blame the card...
[08:06] <DocTomoe> sethk, do you speak of apache (which *is* not installed), or apache2?
[08:06] <duaneb> again, I use integrated...
[08:06] <sethk> DocTomoe, if your error is about apache, then apache.
[08:06] <Witigonen> Seveas: exactly.  Any way to do that without using a CD?
[08:06] <Seveas> Witigonen, network ;)
[08:07] <sethk> DocTomoe, if the error message is "apache2 appears ..." then apache2.
[08:07] <Witigonen> Seveas: right.  I need to load the network drivers manually and I don't know how :)
[08:07] <DocTomoe> it tells me that libapache-mod-tsunami will be deinstalled as well, tries to remove the tsunami, then dies as described above
[08:07] <Jack_Sparrow> duaneb: Dont blame the driver , blame the HARDWARE.. that any better
[08:07] <Seveas> Witigonen, modprobe name_of_driver
[08:07] <ispiked> Seveas: thanks. that seems to have done it. (why can't synaptic do this?)
[08:07] <Seveas> do you know the name of the driver?
[08:07] <duaneb> yes
[08:07] <Witigonen> Seveas: nope :/
[08:07] <duaneb> but how can i fix?
[08:07] <duaneb> can i fix?
[08:07] <Seveas> Witigonen, brand/model of the card?
[08:07] <Jack_Sparrow> duaneb: What chipset is the onboard vid
[08:07] <Witigonen> Seveas: let me look.
[08:07] <sethk> DocTomoe, did you try --force-depends?
[08:07] <burhan> mooni: your answer is here > http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=343547 :)
[08:08] <bobby> Anyone use IA64?
[08:08] <duaneb> a GeForce 6100
[08:08] <mooni> burhan: thanks
[08:08] <Jack_Sparrow> duaneb: WHat have you done so far to get it working
[08:08] <Seveas> duaneb, you need the nvidia-glx-legacy package
[08:08] <Seveas> no manually installing drivers
[08:08] <duaneb> I do?
[08:08] <DocTomoe> sethk: nope, but it gives me the same error and dies
[08:08] <duaneb> ok
[08:08] <Jack_Sparrow> nvidia 6600 here.
[08:08] <harryo> Hi, after a upgrade to dapper, X stopped to work. Any ideas?
[08:08] <_bush> Anyone familiar with knoppix ?
[08:08] <RonSijm> ey, i want to copy my windows cd to my drive, but it keeps saying Error "I/O error" while copying "/media/cdrec...clayers.dl_".  on alot if files
[08:08] <Jack_Sparrow> _bush:  yes
[08:08] <Seveas> harryo, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:08] <traviss> so I have a MSI Geforce NX 6600 256mb PCI express card, will that suffice to have XGL and Compix running smooth?
[08:08] <andrivid> Does anyone know how to install the Ubuntu IA64 system?
[08:08] <Seveas> _bush, #knoppix
[08:09] <burhan> folks in #knoppix might be
[08:09] <BlueEagle> _bush: I've used it, but I guess it belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic if anything. Also I would guess there is a #knoppix chan. :)
[08:09] <Seveas> andrivid, grab a cd from ports.ubuntu.com (or releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports oslt)
[08:09] <RonSijm> why cant i copy stuff from the cd to my hdd?
[08:09] <_bush> Jack_Sparrow
[08:09] <rosh1182> if I am trying to debug a udev rule, how do I get it to print information to /var/log/udev?
[08:09] <burhan> RonSijm: sounds like a scratched/bad cd
[08:09] <Jack_Sparrow> _bush: Many things are similar to Ubuntu but Kubuntu uses KDE so try there..
[08:09] <RonSijm> no.. its not a bad cd
[08:09] <Seveas> rosh1182, sudo udevmonitor -e monitors udev
[08:10] <andrivid> I did download the ISo, and i burned it to a cd, but the EFI Shell doesnt see it
[08:10] <_bush> Jack_Sparrow: Anyway I recently dowloaded knoppix, I burnt the iso to the CD. I didnt run it as yet but I'm going to use it to setup a web server for it.. I'm wondering if there is anyway I could save the settings for my webserver onto another drive on the pc (its a linux drive) so I dont have to configure it every time i Load up Knoppix/
[08:10] <Jack_Sparrow> RonSijm: IS it a permissions problem?  Can you write anything to where you want that cd data..?
[08:10] <rosh1182> Seveas, thanks
[08:10] <RonSijm> yes..
[08:10] <RonSijm> its wrting half it it
[08:10] <traviss> anyone?
[08:11] <RonSijm> its a fat32 drive soo
[08:11] <burhan> RonSijm: then its a case of it can't read the cd properly.
[08:11] <andrivid> I dont understand why EFI wont recognize the ISo
[08:11] <micahcowan> traviss, try over at #ubuntu-xgl?
[08:11] <traviss> thanks
[08:11] <duaneb> ughh
[08:11] <duaneb> clean install
[08:11] <DocTomoe> andrivid: I have had problems like that if the cd was burnt using a too high burning speed
[08:11] <Jack_Sparrow> _bush Why not do a quick backup, or dual boot it..

[08:12] <oem> need a help
[08:13] <Jack_Sparrow> !ask > oem
[08:13] <burhan> MrBaDGuY: its build 344 -- when its updated, the update notifier should tell you.
[08:13] <duaneb> so, how can i configure the xorg.conf to where it was before?
[08:13] <duaneb> i.e. on a fresh install
[08:13] <lip1> how can I troubleshoot USB device problems?
[08:13] <Lard-O-Lad> when is the next major upgrade for ubuntu due?
[08:13] <Seveas> rosh1182, apparently it's just sudo udevmonitor

[08:14] <Jack_Sparrow> duaneb: By restoring from your backed up copy
[08:14] <bintrue> Is here CLI tool like synaptic?

[08:14] <duaneb> eek.
[08:14] <lip1> bintrue: aptitude?
 aptitude
[08:14] <burhan> bintrue: apt-get and aptitude

[08:14] <bintrue> I knew there was one, I just couldn't remember the name
[08:15] <rosh1182> I am trying to debug a udev rule where I use the "RUN+=" option; the udevmonitor doesn't seem to show if the rule ever got processed to that point, any ideas on how to see if the rule was processed and what it did?

[08:16] <Jack_Sparrow> duaneb: There is a way to rebuild the xorg-cong from cli but I dont remember the command..
[08:16] <burhan> what do you mean by 'cd mode'?
[08:16] <harryo> Seveas: I tried reconfiguring xserver but it didn't work. Any other ideas?
[08:16] <legendx> its dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg i think
[08:16] <Witigonen> Seveas: so a modprobe sis900 worked great :)
[08:16] <duaneb> from a livecd
[08:16] <Jack_Sparrow> duaneb: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:16] <Seveas> Witigonen, sudo modprobe sis900.... err right, you beat me ;)
[08:16] <Dimitrije> Someone know how to configure terminal (for example, to set it transparent.)
[08:16] <duaneb> legendx: that makes you enter stuff and info which I don't know
[08:16] <BHSPitMonkey> duaneb, does it show up in "Computer" at all
[08:17] <duaneb> yea
[08:17] <duaneb> but I can't go into it
[08:17] <burhan> Dimitrije: gnome-terminal?
[08:17] <Dimitrije> Yes.
[08:17] <duaneb> it says it can't mount it with pmount
[08:17] <legendx> duaneb : no info asked
[08:17] <duaneb> really?
[08:17] <legendx> duaneb : its just reocnfigure the package
[08:17] <legendx> yep
[08:17] <burhan> Dimitrije: edit > profiles
[08:17] <duaneb> it asks it for me... o.0
[08:17] <duaneb> it asks for video card identifiers, pci bus number...
[08:17] <legendx> duaneb: juste be sure to always backup your config before
[08:17] <Dimitrije> burhan, ok sorry :/
[08:18] <legendx> duaneb : sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
[08:18] <mlehrer> X decided to core dump
[08:18] <burhan> Dimitrije: don't be sorry :)
[08:18] <Jack_Sparrow> duaneb: It takes very little effort to do a full backup once you get the basic install the way you want it before "Testing/playing/changing"
[08:19] <mlehrer> i restarted and opened the same set of windows (tons of xterms, 3 firefox windows with some tabs, konq with some tabs) and X is using 115m
[08:19] <bintrue> ugh I'm only getting 16.5 kB/s from the ubuntu repository!
[08:19] <burhan> mlehrer: how much ram do you have on your system?
[08:19] <Seveas> !reposdown > bintrue
[08:20] <bintrue> thanks seveas
[08:20] <harryo> Has anypne got any ideas shich I could try to get X working?

[08:20] <SpaceBass> anyone using ubuntu and samba as a domain controller?
[08:21] <Seveas> harryo, what's the error (look for (EE) in /var/log/Xorg.0.log)
[08:21] <duaneb> heh
[08:21] <mlehrer> it seems to core dump and complain about SetGrabKeyState
[08:21] <duaneb> I have 5 gigs of swap :)
[08:21] <watson540> ROFLMAO! 2 gig of swap?!
[08:21] <watson540> thats such a waste
[08:21] <mlehrer> not too common an error unfortunately
[08:21] <mlehrer> watson540: 100% of it was in use
[08:21] <ajopaul> !boot > ajopaul
[08:21] <watson540> how is that possible to even use 1 gig of swap?
[08:21] <duaneb> it's very possile
[08:21] <Seveas> watson540, video editing
[08:21] <mlehrer> memory leaks in Xorg
[08:22] <burhan> watson540: blender will suck up some swap

[08:23] <BHSPitMonkey> I have yet to find a video editor I like for linux...
[08:23] <Seveas> burhan, kino, diva, blender (although the latter is more rendering)
[08:23] <BHSPitMonkey> always find myself going back to adobe premiere...
[08:23] <watson540> i wish xgl would use some swap..
[08:24] <burhan> BHSPitMonkey: you really can't compare premiere to anything
[08:24] <ToHellWithGA> is there a command in vi to "save as" rather than "write"?

[08:26] <RonSijm> hmm.. no
[08:27] <muddycat> excuse me , anybody knows why gnuplot lose its auto complete feature
[08:27] <legendx> RonSijm : can you open a terminal and type eject ?

[08:31] <blind> lmao @ BHSPitMonkey
[08:32] <BHSPitMonkey> Witigonen, what's the problem?
[08:32] <moohz86> hello les gens
[08:32] <Witigonen> dmesg reports that the card was inserted, but nothing else.  So.. I guess I'm starting from base 0.
[08:32] <lip1> Im having problem pluging my laserjet. It isnt being recognized. The devmsg log is here (http://paste.ubuntubrasil.org/541)
[08:32] <burhan> abhinay: first thing I would see is what is in /var/log/xorg.0.log (anything starting with EE) and what is in ~/.xsession-errors
[08:32] <Witigonen> This worked just fine in Breezy, no ndiswrapper or anything.
[08:32] <blind> What kind of card is it, Witigonen
[08:32] <BHSPitMonkey> Witigonen, do you have the computer hooked into a wired internet source for now? so you can install packages...
[08:33] <Witigonen> Sorry, Belkin F5D6020

[08:35] <citizen> Bomber, change your password?
[08:35] <burhan> blind: what the man is trying to tell you is, k-line would be what you'd be getting.
[08:36] <ardchoille> Seveas: And a well-deserved k-line at that
[08:36] <nalioth> blind: some fine user got a k-line yesterday for ghosting an unfortunate user
[08:36] <Metzger\\> i have installed my ubuntu system yesterday.. today i want to boot from life cd, i get an i/o hdd error

[08:36] <citizen> guys, I just wrote a nice tutorial for making gmail the default email caient in firefox
[08:37] <citizen> anyone use gmail?

[08:37] <BHSPitMonkey> a one-time offense isn't worth a k-line, just having some fun and letting the victim know they need to change their password :P
[08:37] <ardchoille> citizen: I just read it :)

[08:37] <cruddpuppet> !anyone
[08:37] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[08:37] <Metzger\\> and trying boot the live cd
[08:37] <Jack_Sparrow> Metzger\\: FYI some people may take offense at your nick...
[08:37] <cruddpuppet> oh
[08:37] <slimz> hi im currently using windows xp, and if i switch to ubuntu, will i be able to convert my current d: drive from ntfs to ext3 so i wont have to back everything up, format, then put everything back?
[08:38] <burhan> Jack_Sparrow: why?
[08:38] <excitatory> slimz: sorry, it doesn't work that way
[08:38] <cruddpuppet> how do i install divx
[08:38] <burhan> slimz: no.
[08:38] <cruddpuppet> how do i install divx
[08:38] <ardchoille> slimz: You need to back everything up
[08:38] <burhan> !codecs > cruddpuppet
[08:38] <blind> So, I'm going to buy another video card to hook up a secondary monitor. Is there an easy link to video cards that are supported in ubuntu?
[08:38] <Jack_Sparrow> Metzger\\: I know it may just be your name...  But also the name of the Grand Wizard of the KKK
[08:38] <Metzger\\> burhan: but a the "adding live cd user"  step i get this hdd error
[08:38] <Kyynara> slimz: nope you'll have to format and change it to ext3
[08:38] <excitatory> slimz: when you reformat a drive with a new filesystem, everything is erased.
[08:38] <Seveas> !divx > cruddpuppet check the pm from ubotu
[08:38] <slimz> ouff, that sucks
[08:38] <burhan> slimz: if you just want to be able to read, that'll work fine. Don't expect writing to work.
[08:38] <abhinay> burhan, xsession-errors & Xorg.0.log  .... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/d20019
[08:38] <cruddpuppet> i checked that
[08:38] <Metzger\\> Jack_Sparrow: metzger = butcher
[08:38] <BHSPitMonkey> citizen, you know, that just applies to firefox, right?
[08:39] <cruddpuppet> i ran the installer and everything
[08:39] <citizen> BHSP, yeah
[08:39] <serion> how can I make my system sees all the memory it has? I have 4 GB, however it only sees 800 MB,
[08:39] <BHSPitMonkey> if you can figure out a global thing, let us know :)
[08:39] <citizen> i haven't found a way for the whole system yet
[08:39] <slimz> i got a 250 gb hard drive and filled it to the rim, and now i dont want to sort it and back everything up
[08:39] <citizen> i'm working on it
[08:39] <slimz> :)
[08:39] <Jack_Sparrow> Metzger\\: Just wanted you to know the additional reference
[08:39] <BHSPitMonkey> citizen, well, you could enable POP in your gmail account, and set it up in Evolution or something
[08:39] <cruddpuppet> i ran the installer, read the stuff, said yes and nothing happened
[08:39] <burhan> serion: cat /proc/meminfo -- how much do you see there?
[08:39] <KleinerMann> Jack_Sparrow: better ;O?
[08:39] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[08:39] <slimz> but im sick of the way xp browses, its slow, on my friends ubuntu pc its so much faster
[08:39] <MrBallZ> hi, where can I check, when the opera build in the ubuntu repositories will get updated to the latest one ?
[08:40] <excitatory> slimz: your best bet would be to have a second drive to install to, then copy over, organising in the process
[08:40] <serion> is there a way to do this???
[08:40] <burhan> abhinay: what locale are you using?
[08:40] <slimz> i do
[08:40] <slimz> excitatory: i have my drive c i could install to
[08:40] <finalbeta> When I use the ubuntu ati (fglrx) drivers, my card works, when I use the latest ATI drivers from the site, my card uses VESA driver. Is this an ubuntu issue?
[08:40] <abhinay> burhan, en_IN
[08:40] <slimz> excitatory: its just my second drive full of stuff like music and tv shows, but its ntfs
[08:41] <burhan> abhinay: is that a valid locale?
[08:41] <citizen> BHSP: well, i did that for a while, but I like the AJAX so much more
[08:41] <burhan> abhinay: try en_US
[08:41] <abhinay> burhan, it is a valid
[08:41] <abhinay> burhan, IN - India
[08:41] <excitatory> slimz: so long as your media is on a second physical drive, or a second partition, you can install ubuntu on the first, and just read off of your media drive.
[08:41] <burhan> well try en_US see if that gets you into X
[08:41] <burhan> abhinay: I know IN = India, I don't think there is a local en_IN though.
[08:42] <poningru> what are we discussing?
[08:42] <abhinay> burhan, ok lets try

[08:43] <evert> i own oblivion
[08:43] <evert> but yes for free
[08:43] <serion> is there a way to make my sistem recognize the complete ram memory?
[08:43] <evert> i guess wine
[08:43] <Backeman> Hi! What ufstype should I set for my freebsd-disk when I want to mount it?
[08:43] <BHSPitMonkey> you might have to purchase Cedega or xover for it to work, evert
[08:43] <burhan> In Russia, oblivion owns you.
[08:44] <gdb> citizen: Can you do the same by going to System > Preferences > Preferred Applications and setting the Mail Reader to Custom and then "gnome-www-browswer https://gmail.google.com" ?  And that would work outside Firefox, as well, no?
[08:44] <poningru> serion: it doesnt detect the whole thing?
[08:44] <nalioth> serion: type 'sudo lshw'
[08:44] <BHSPitMonkey> evert, google for "wine appdb" and search for it there.
[08:44] <evert> does it works with wine ?
[08:44] <burhan> http://appdb.winehq.org is the url for htat BHSP
[08:44] <BHSPitMonkey> evert, do what I just said

[08:45] <citizen> gdb: but, it wouldn't enter the address for you

[08:45] <gdb> citizen: You way is far easier, I'll admit.  I just don't want to install the Google Toolbar. :-)
[08:45] <burhan> can't make em drink
[08:45] <gdb> citizen: Ah, there is that, yes....
[08:45] <evert> but i wanna do it with oldblivion , the wine db says it's unplayeble
[08:45] <excitatory> hrm.. something is wrong with dpkg/aptitude.. after every 'install' and/or 'upgrade', the following warning is output: ** (process:4542): CRITICAL **: egg_desktop_entries_add_group: assertion `egg_desktop_entries_lookup_group (entries, group_name) == NULL' failed
[08:45] <gdb> citizen: So I guess it's not really useful then, is it? :-)
[08:45] <BHSPitMonkey> burhan, you can make em learn how to google :P
[08:45] <burhan> if I'm in a bad mood, I say www.fuckinggoogleit.com :)
[08:45] <BHSPitMonkey> language...
[08:45] <citizen> gdb: yes, but i completely hid the google toolbar. it doesn't bother me if i can't see it. however, i am working on getting firefox to enter the email address for you in gmail
[08:46] <citizen> back in a few
[08:46] <BHSPitMonkey> condense that to JFGI in here
[08:46] <BHSPitMonkey> :)
[08:46] <burhan> but that's an acutal website :)
[08:46] <BHSPitMonkey> I know.
[08:46] <gdb> citizen: Very very nice!

[08:46] <anonqwerty02> I'm trying to play a xvid avi file on an older comp...however its skipping frames.  Any way to make it do like less post processing or something so it will play a little bit smoother?
[08:47] <burhan> it was meant as a joke people. Sorry if it offended anyone.
[08:47] <KleinerMann> can i test my hdd for errors on a running system? :/
[08:47] <Seveas> BHSPitMonkey, burhan: jfgi is considered swearing in here... and of course nalioth is faster than me
[08:47] <burhan> KleinerMann: not accurately. You can use tune2fs to schedule a scan at the next boot.
[08:47] <BHSPitMonkey> Seveas, Just Follow Google's Instincts?
[08:47] <BHSPitMonkey> o.o
[08:47] <Backeman> Hi! What ufstype should I set for my freebsd-disk when I want to mount it?
[08:48] <burhan> Backeman: -t auto didn't work?
[08:49] <Backeman> burhan: well, I tried without -t and it told me to specify filesystem so I found out about -t ufs, then it gave me a warning and dmesg|tail told me that I had to specify ufs-system -t ufs -o ufstype=... And it tells me that wrong may corrupt my drive :(
[08:49] <Backeman> burhan: and no, -t auto didn't work :(
[08:49] <cartesian1984> My friend wants to know how a friend of his who has a lot of bandwidth can download all the debian packages in a repository for him. I know theres some way to do this with apt-get, how exactly?
[08:50] <Seveas> cartesian1984, ubuntu.com/download/mirror
[08:50] <dennis_> irc://irc.dingalingz.net/misfits
[08:50] <citizen> ok, testing my new mail settings: xiamcitizen@gmail.com
[08:50] <burhan> Backeman: do you know what freebsd the disk is?
[08:50] <neildarlow> what is the preferred method to adjust service startup in ubuntu? i want to disable APM in favour of ACPI
[08:51] <burhan> neildarlow: update-rc.d or bum
[08:51] <Leeif> Hi. im trying to compile a prog, but it says: *** exact error that occured. This usually means GTK+ is incorrectly installed. configure: error: *** GTK+ version 2.4.0 not found!
[08:51] <citizen> gdb: it works! however, it adds the "mailto:" to the front. i need to get that to be removed
[08:51] <neildarlow> burhan: thanks. i haven't used Debian-based Linux in over 5 years. i'm a little rusty
[08:51] <Seveas> !compiling > Leeif

[08:52] <Backeman> burhan: I would guess 5.4, could be 5.3, don't think its 6.0
[08:52] <snook353> what's the "-d" option in ndiswrapper?
[08:52] <teicah> neildarlow: see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=89491
[08:53] <snook353> what does it do?
[08:53] <snook353> it don't say on the man page
[08:54] <snook353> i don't know what devid is
[08:54] <Backeman> burhan: very exact ;)
[08:54] <burhan> Backeman: if its 5.x+ then ... its gets a bit complicated because then you need UFS2 support, which I think is read only and experimental (hadn't messed with this in about a year).
[08:54] <zenpro> I just installed Ubuntu after a few weeks without it. It doesn't seem to recognize my internet adsl connection. Windows is able to connect automatically through dhcp (and the beta of dapper drake was fine with it too). Any advice?
[08:54] <snook353> what does devid mean?
[08:54] <Backeman> burhan: okey, there is a ufs2-option
[08:55] <Backeman> burhan: so you say I should mount it as -o ufstype=ufs2 and the copy the stuff, format it and put the stuff back?
[08:55] <lz05> snook353: have you typed ndiswrapper w/o arguments? I think it has a little help then
[08:55] <burhan> Backeman: check with ufs-linux.sf.net (I think that's correct) for more info on that, as you have reached the limit of my knowledge in this area.
[08:55] <snook353> no, i'm trying to fix a problem, and i want to know if -d will help
[08:55] <Backeman> burhan: okey, I'll do that. Thanks a lot for your help!
[08:55] <burhan> !seen fyrestrtr
[08:55] <ubotu> fyrestrtr is on IRC right now!
[08:56] <[Jonne] > I have a small problem with Konqueror: I can't use it to access the web. (i'm running gnome). Is there a way to fix it?
[08:56] <ahammond> anyone know if there are plans to solve the audio-mixing annoyance in linux yet? ie: which of JACK, gstreamer, or aRTs won?
[08:56] <burhan> oh hrmm ... guess I forgot to turn off irc at work :(
[08:56] <Seveas> ahammond, they're 3 VERY different things, you can even use those together...
[08:56] <excitatory> [Jonne] : um.. please be more specific
[08:56] <Seveas> ahammond, alsa+dmix is the winner for now until gstreamer matures
[08:57] <snook353> i'm gonna look for a dictionary or something with devid in it.  that would be nice to list on the support links
[08:57] <burhan> ahammond: if you have a soundcard with an onboard mixer (not a soft mixer) then things get a lot easier.
[08:57] <[Jonne] > well, when i try to go to an url like http://www.google.com using konqueror, it hangs
[08:57] <BHSPitMonkey> alsa-oss makes my day brighter
[08:57] <ahammond> Seveas: well... what I mean is that by default if I have more than one app which tries to output sound at the same time, one of them gets blocked, which sucks.
[08:57] <[Jonne] > i have to kill konqueror then
[08:57] <[Jonne] > firefox and opera work fine
[08:57] <Seveas> ahammond, dmix solves that
[08:57] <burhan> ahammond: you need dmix :)
[08:57] <ahammond> dmix, eh? thanks, I'll check it out.
[08:58] <Sp4rKy> hi
[08:58] <burhan> !dmix > ahammond
[08:58] <[Jonne] > and using konqueror as a file manager works fine too
[08:58] <Sp4rKy> if someone wants play to bomberclone : /j #ubuntu-fr-bomberclone
[08:58] <burhan> [Jonne] : any particular reason you are using konqueror on gnome?
[08:58] <burhan> ?? wth is bomberclone?
[08:59] <[Jonne] > i'm a web developer. I want to test in a maximal amount of browsers
[08:59] <Seveas> burhan, don't feed the spammers
[08:59] <theBishop> is there a program that can show what folders are using most of my HDD space?
[08:59] <zenpro> thanks anyways
[08:59] <[Jonne] > but i prefer gnome as a desktop
[08:59] <zenpro> bye
[08:59] <burhan> well he's gone, just curious what it is.
[08:59] <citizen> gah, i hate XChat. what's a good IRC client for GNOME (NO KDE!)
[09:00] <ahammond> !dmix > ahammond
[09:00] <Sp4rKy> Seveas, sorry :|
[09:00] <ahammond> oh my, that's a neat trick.
[09:00] <burhan> [Jonne] : one way to get things going would be to install kubuntu-desktop (it could be that konqueror needs something that's not installed for web browsing).
[09:00] <theBishop> citizen, did you try the GTK xchat?
[09:00] <burhan> ahammond: /msg ubotu dmix works aswell
[09:00] <nalioth> theBishop: xdiskusage
[09:00] <cartesian1984> Seveas, thanks, but how might I download just the ones for my architecture, to save on space?
[09:00] <sivanicon> is there a port i have to forward to beable to use the remote desktop?
[09:00] <[Jonne] > will that cause my default desktop to be kde then?
[09:00] <burhan> citizen: sudo apt-get install xchat
[09:00] <citizen> @theBishop yes, but i want more customiziation options
[09:00] <[Jonne] > or will i still be using gnome?
[09:00] <nalioth> [Jonne] : no, you can choose at the login
[09:01] <citizen> burhan, i'm using xchat now
[09:01] <[Jonne] > ok, i'll try that
[09:01] <polpak> citizen: there's xchat, or xchat-gnome
[09:01] <lz05> snook353: unless i'm mistaken devid is the device number on your system. I have never needed to use -d before
[09:01] <polpak> citizen: you sure you're using xchat?
[09:01] <burhan> citizen: xchat, or xchat-gnome? One will give you headaches.
[09:01] <Seveas> cartesian1984, debmirror is the way than -- install it and read through the docs in /usr/share/doc/debmirror
[09:01] <cartesian1984> Seveas, thanks very much!
[09:01] <ahammond> hmmm, my menus do not have system -> preferences -> multimedia*
[09:01] <Seveas> -citizen- VERSION xchat 2.6.1 Ubuntu <-- yes he uses xchat
[09:01] <ahammond> do I need to install some packages first or something?
[09:01] <micahcowan> Is anyone using an IRC client that lets you issue an "ignore" command by right-clicking a nick? That'd be handy...
[09:01] <citizen> i'm on xchat, i just want more customization, like bookmarks and junk
[09:01] <polpak> citizen: well you can try xchat-gnome
[09:02] <Seveas> micahcowan, xchat does that ;)
[09:02] <burhan> micahcowan: irssi does it easily enough with regex support for ignore.
[09:02] <skold> How can I remove the tooltips in GNOME ?
[09:02] <micahcowan> Seveas, ?? I'm using xchat. It lets you ban, but that doesn't help me....
[09:02] <micahcowan> burhan, regex support via right-click on nick?
[09:03] <burhan> no, in irssi -- not xchat. irssi is cli
[09:03] <citizen> meh, i'll try xchat-gnome, back in a sec
[09:04] <burhan> lol he'll be back here complaining again
[09:04] <Sp4rKy> Seveas, sorry, but why did you kick me ?
[09:04] <nalioth> Sp4rKy: spam
[09:04] <wubrgamer> hey guys, which version of xorg is installed by default in dapper ?
[09:05] <burhan> 7.0.0
[09:05] <MrBallZ> xorg 7 i think
[09:05] <Seveas> micahcowan, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/i20021
[09:05] <Sp4rKy> nalioth, spam ? it's the first time i write it and it's a chan 'related' to ubuntu
[09:05] <xrootvzlax> buenas ^^
[09:05] <wubrgamer> so xgl compiz should work on a system where video accel is working like a charm ?
[09:05] <micahcowan> Seveas, what version xchat are you using?
[09:06] <burhan> wubrgamer: well, depends. Its very beta. You can try your luck (I have it running fine on a nvidia-based system, on the ati laptop -- issues).
[09:06] <wubrgamer> actually
[09:06] <mebaran151_> quick problem
[09:06] <wubrgamer> the ati drivers don't work on my desktop, but seem nearly native on my laptop
[09:06] <wubrgamer> yes ?
[09:06] <mebaran151_> I'm running banshee with an hfsplus formatted ipod
[09:06] <dekela> Please Please help me

[09:09] <dekela> For example
[09:09] <dekela> I have an xvid movie with AC3 sound
[09:09] <skold> Anybody knows how to disable the tooltips in GNOME ?
[09:09] <gdb> I like tossing it out there to see if anyone can fix it and no one can.

[09:09] <straylite> hi guys - v. quick question: i've just accidentally wiped my /etc/init.d folder - is there a quick way to rebuild it? :)
[09:10] <mebaran151_> straylite, no.......
[09:10] <burhan> straylite: .......
[09:10] <straylite> bugger - reinstall then?
[09:10] <mebaran151_> that's a very very very bad thing
[09:10] <straylite> i know. bit silly, eh?
[09:10] <mebaran151_> yep
[09:10] <mebaran151_> heh
[09:10] <mebaran151_> I've done it
[09:10] <straylite> now i have :D
[09:10] <excitatory> straylite: how do you accidentally wipe that folder?
[09:10] <nikin> straylite: how di you manage that?
[09:10] <burhan> well I'm glad you are taking it lightly :)
[09:10] <burhan> I would have had a /slightly/ different reaction
[09:10] <mebaran151_> rm -r /etc/init.d
[09:10] <ks> hi
[09:11] <mebaran151_> does it every time
[09:11] <straylite> nikin: trying to fix my soundcard: rm -rf /var/lib/alsa/sound.conf && etc etc -> i typed rm -f /var/lib/ls/sound.conf ** etc etc
[09:11] <burhan> [bleep]  what tha [bleep]  how tha [bleep]  etc. etc.
[09:11] <gdb> straylite: was it on a default installation?
[09:11] <ks> how do I make an image of partition ?
[09:11] <Netcad> I'm trying to start vserver but it gives an error ."Can not find util-vserver installation; aborting... how can i solve this problem?
[09:11] <mebaran151_> so any ideas
[09:11] <citizen> oh god, xchat-gnome is terrible
[09:11] <gdb> er, that's not /etc/init.d
[09:11] <straylite> gdb: yeah
[09:11] <nikin> straylite: better use Midnight commander next time
[09:11] <ks> i tried partimage but it asks to umount /
[09:11] <gdb> oh duh, you were in /etc/init.d
[09:11] <nikin> it has an undelete function
[09:11] <gdb> straylite: copy it from another machine then
[09:11] <burhan> ks: dd
[09:12] <straylite> oh yeah good plan
[09:12] <straylite> or just put fedora core on ;)
[09:12] <gdb> it still may need some attention to get working perfectly, but can save a reinstall
[09:12] <straylite> can't believe i did that
[09:12] <straylite> gdb: aye. thanks mr! i'll try that
[09:12] <gdb> :-D

[09:19] <gdb> skold: ah here it is

[09:26] <mebaran151_> I want to reformat my ipod that style
[09:26] <hans_> ayuda
[09:26] <eegore> Lynoure:  would this be in the tcp service conf?
[09:26] <Kittiah> gdb - When I try to install the packages, it tells me that dependency Python 2.3 could not be satisfied
[09:26] <gdb> Kittiah: Ah!
[09:26] <Kittiah> And wont let me proceed
[09:26] <nalioth> mebaran151_: hfstools should add some tools, the kernel can read/write hfs+ already
[09:26] <eoghan> Hi There. Anyone know if security.ubuntu.com is down? If so, are there mirrors of that?
[09:27] <flujan> gdb, I can also boot with a rescue disc and reinstall grub.
[09:27] <mwe> mebaran151_: I think it's supported by default. maybe you need to install the utils though
[09:27] <Lynoure> eegore: you'll get better results if you don't target me right now
[09:27] <flujan> gdb, how can I do that?
[09:27] <shingouz> you guys have an answer bot here i can msg?
[09:27] <nalioth> Kittiah: you can have more then one version of python onboard
[09:27] <eegore> sry
[09:27] <harisund> shungouz ubotu
[09:27] <mwe> shingouz: ubotu
[09:27] <hans_> tengo problema para instalar una tarjeta red wi-fi
[09:27] <mebaran151_> hfsutils only makes hfs volumes
[09:27] <Kittiah> Nalioth: Thanks, just wanted to check it wouldnt cause any kind of horrible problems :)
[09:27] <mebaran151_> not hfs plus volumes
[09:27] <mebaran151_> with all those nice unix properties
[09:27] <eegore> anyone speak espaniol?>
[09:27] <nalioth> mebaran151_: yes, i have hfsplus volumes mounted all the time
[09:27] <eegore> ;)
[09:27] <citizen> eoghan, weird, i can't connect either
[09:28] <ubuntu_> slt
[09:28] <mebaran151_> nalioth, it mounts
[09:28] <anr> hi guys, I'm about to install ubuntu on an 80gig hd. how should I divide this between / , /home and "/storage"? I will use 2048gig for swap (2xram)
[09:28] <mebaran151_> but it mounts readonly
[09:28] <mebaran151_> I'd like to disable the journal
[09:28] <mebaran151_> and remount it read write
[09:28] <citizen> eoghan, try security.ubuntu.com.nyud.net:8080
[09:28] <shingouz> harisund: mwe thanks :)
[09:28] <hans_> alguien habla spanish
[09:28] <nalioth> eegore: por espaol, marque /j #ubuntu-es
[09:28] <citizen> !es > hans_
[09:29] <ico2> GRRRRR, watched the interview with Shuttleworth on more4 (uk television) news. It was awful, the word "linux" wasnt mentioned _at all_, it implied that ubuntu was the OS and not merely the distro, although it mentioned that many people were involved, it very clearly implied that _ALL_ the software was written by ubuntu, it didnt give an url of any form, howtf are viewers supposed to install it. Overall the story seemed to say that although
[09:29] <ico2>  it was free, noone should use it. It implied that ubuntu and windows were the only two choices, shuttleworth didnt seem to know what he was talking about, the way he used the word "geek" sounded like it was a word he had just learned, not happy, at all!!!!!!! what is anyone elses opinion on this.
[09:29] <UBnewb> hey all im running Ub via a live cd to check and see if it would work on my intel pc, it does. is there a way to install via the live cd or do i need to get the other cd image, the full install one?
[09:29] <nalioth> hans_: esto canal es por ingles, por favor marque /j #ubuntu-es por espaol
[09:29] <ubuntu_> hello i am a french guy and i have a problem with GRUB for the dualboot, the alert is error
[09:29] <gdb> flujan: I'm not able to answer your question, because the Desktop Ubuntu installer (the one I have experience with) does not allow you to select where GRUB is installed to.  I'm curious, however, what problem you're facing that requires using somewhere other than the MBR. You're hoping that when you restore an image, that GRUB will be restored along with it, obviating the need to use a rescue CD to reinstall GRUB?
[09:29] <nalioth> ico2: i believe you want to be in #ubuntu-offtopic for that
[09:29] <eoghan> citizen: No go for that either. Hmm.
[09:29] <ico2> nalioth:  ubuntu related, surely, but none-the-less, will do
[09:30] <citizen> eoghan: yeah, same. google's cache is worthless, as welll
[09:30] <ubuntu_> i scearch french guy for help me
[09:30] <eoghan> citizen: Aye, it would be. Doesn't cache binary files.
[09:30] <eoghan> citizen: Hmm. I assume someone important knows about it either way (:
[09:30] <flujan> gdb, where can I download and use a rescue CD to restore MBR ?
[09:30] <citizen> eoghan: give it a few hours, it'll be back up soo enough
[09:30] <Kittiah> Dang, just tried to get Python 2.3 and -THAT- has more dependencies... and libreadline doesn't want to install for me -.-
[09:30] <citizen> soon*
[09:30] <ic56> !fr
[09:30] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[09:30] <eoghan> citizen: Bah. I can't wait a few hours. I want my binary nvidia drivers now!
[09:30] <eoghan> (:
[09:31] <RonSijm> ey, this is probably a stupid question, but how to i clear the 'wastebasket' in ubuntu?
[09:31] <citizen> haha
[09:31] <tuxtux> ciao
[09:31] <nalioth> RonSijm: click it, or right click it
[09:31] <teicah> RonSijm: right click
[09:31] <mebaran151_> nay ideas why it would mount readonly
[09:31] <citizen> eoghan, have you searched in synaptic?
[09:31] <mebaran151_> my ipod?
[09:31] <gdb> flujan: You can use the Ubuntu installation CD as a rescue CD, at least the Desktop one.
[09:31] <SGershon> Hi all.
[09:31] <mebaran151_> it's an hfsplus one
[09:31] <RonSijm> well.. where is it, its not on the desktop :/
[09:31] <RonSijm> nor do isee it in any of the menus
[09:31] <nalioth> mebaran151_: you need to specify rw in your mount command or fstab
[09:31] <eoghan> citizen: It uses the same repository, so either way it won't be downloading till it comes back up ):
[09:31] <mebaran151_> it's there
[09:31] <teicah> places|computer|go|trash
[09:31] <flujan> gdb, ok and then? I tried to mount and chroot to the /dev/hda1 without success
[09:32] <mebaran151_> but it complains hfsplus is a readonly file system
[09:32] <mwe> gdb: I think the server cd can be used for rescue as well
[09:32] <flujan> gdb, i need to mount and chroot or I can just type grub-install /dev/hda ?
[09:32] <Kittiah> Any idea why libreadline4_4.3-11_i386.deb says it's fine to install and then fails with no output shown in the terminal box?
[09:32] <nalioth> mebaran151_: can you pastebin your fstab ?
[09:32] <RonSijm> ..theres no trash under places
[09:32] <citizen> eoghan: http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
[09:32] <Lynoure> eegore: might still hold true: http://gnomesupport.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9758   (that all assuming that the stmp port was their portnumber they want you to connect to)
[09:32] <mebaran151_> /dev/sdb3 on /media/sdb3 type hfsplus (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000)
[09:32] <citizen> i don't know if this is what you want, but worth a shot
[09:33] <gdb> flujan: No need to mount or chroot anything. :-)
[09:33] <RonSijm> ..is there a terminal command to clear it?
[09:33] <mebaran151_> there's the relevant line from mount
[09:33] <anr> errm.. I will use 2gig for swap, not 2048 gig....
[09:33] <mormoloc> im trying to install bluefish 1.0,5 and i get libc6 dependency is not satisfiable
[09:33] <Terendul> I have a problem: the install doesn't want to create partitions on my hdd. When I check the dmesg, it writes: 'hda: cache flushes not supported' then some DMA errors, and then a series of I/O error...
[09:33] <mormoloc> looked in synaptic and is there
[09:33] <SGershon> "Firefox can't find the server at www.google.com." where can I check the DNS configurations on my system?
[09:33] <mwe> SGershon: /etc/resolv.conf
[09:33] <citizen> RonSijm: sudo rm -R ~/.Trash/
[09:34] <flujan> gdb, how do I proceed? :) I am addicted to LILO. :)
[09:34] <kiran> Got another question, how can I install wine for Ubuntu?
[09:34] <citizen> wait, you don't need sudo
[09:34] <nalioth> citizen: that is not advised
[09:34] <mwe> !wine > kiran
[09:34] <SGershon> Ok. It is weird, because it is the same system where I am connected in the IRC.
[09:34] <nalioth> !tell kiran about wine
[09:34] <citizen> nalioth, i do it all the time :-P
[09:34] <kiran> !wine
[09:34] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[09:34] <kiran> I heard that you can run windows based games on wine, is this possible?
[09:34] <nalioth> citizen: i do things that would make the Ubuntu community cringe if they knew, but i do not advise my practices to others
[09:35] <UBnewb> is there a way to install UB from the live cd?
[09:35] <mwe> kiran: some programs, yes
[09:35] <Kittiah> Anyone have any idea how I might get a package to install that fails during the package installation with no terminal output? :/
[09:35] <citizen> RonSijm, run "nautilus ~/.Trash/"
[09:35] <SGershon> mwe, it is wrong in that file. If I just delete it there, will it be re-written?
[09:35] <citizen> nalioth, better?
[09:35] <RonSijm> k
[09:35] <nalioth> citizen: i try not to advise any of my abhorrent practices to y'all
[09:36] <RonSijm> citizin, are you the same citzin as in irc.gzp ?
[09:36] <mwe> SGershon: I'd just sudo dhclient your interface like eth0 or whatever
[09:36] <mwe> SGershon: supposing you have a DHCP gateway
[09:36] <ks> if I do a backup of partition, can i use dd ... | bzip ?
[09:36] <citizen> RonSijm, never been on the server, what is it?
[09:37] <mwe> ks: I recommend partimage
[09:37] <IAskew> ks google partimage
[09:37] <ks> mwe i tried
[09:37] <mwe> ks: and?
[09:37] <ks> it asks to umount
[09:37] <mwe> ks: yes you can't use it on a mounted partition
[09:37] <RonSijm> nvm.. its a big forum, and a mod there is also called citizin, i was just wondering...
[09:37] <eegore> is there an option in evolution 2.8.4 for this setting?
[09:37] <Kittiah> Sorry to bug, but does anyone know why a .deb package being installed under the Ubuntu Package Installer might fail when all dependencies are satisfied, and if so, how I might resolve this problem?
[09:38] <mwe> ks: You'd wanna boot a live cd and use it from there
[09:38] <ks> when i do umount -l /, i get another error from partimage - cannot find /proc/partitions
[09:38] <mebaran151_> nalioth, any hints?
[09:38] <kiran> Sorry for being such a n00b, but how do I install wine now?
[09:38] <mwe> ks: you cannout umount the root file system when you're using it
[09:38] <IAskew> Kittiah, u doing 'sudo dpkg -i file.deb'?
[09:38] <gatekeeper> ks, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=81311&highlight=HOWTO%3A+backup
[09:38] <nalioth> kiran: did you get a private message from ubotu ?
[09:39] <mebaran151_> the mount flag is rw
[09:39] <Kittiah> Askew - No, do I need to?
[09:39] <Kittiah> Have been running the deb package from firefox with default app
[09:39] <IAskew> with a .deb file yes
[09:39] <nalioth> mebaran151_: did you post a pastebin?
[09:39] <mebaran151_> yeah
[09:39] <boolka> how do i go to text mode from ubuntu and then back?
[09:39] <mebaran151_> I posted the line
[09:39] <ks> can I do it from other instance of vmware ?
[09:39] <mwe> boolka: ctrl-alt-f1 then alt-f7 to get back to X
[09:40] <IAskew> boolka 'ctrl+alt+F1-6' F7 to get back
[09:40] <lip1> hmm im trying to apt-get update and it is freezing when downloading the update from security.ubuntu.com (99% [Connecting to security.ubuntu.com (82.211.81.138)] 
[09:40] <lip1> )
[09:40] <boolka> ty
[09:40] <mwe> ks: explain the situation please
[09:40] <lip1> is it ok/normal?
[09:40] <mwe> lip1: it's been dead slow lately
[09:40] <SGershon> mwe, Thanks, it worked.
[09:40] <citizen> lip1: security.ubuntn.com is down
[09:40] <nalioth> mebaran151_: uid and gid are unnecessary, try umask=000
[09:41] <ks> mwe i'm trying to implement this http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/321
[09:41] <mwe> SGershon: you wanna make it permanent though
[09:41] <citizen> mwe: the server is deat right now
[09:41] <lip1> citizen: ah ok, I thought it was my connection/dns or something. TY
[09:41] <mebaran151_> nalioth, the error on write though is not user related
[09:41] <mwe> citizen: yeah. that too from time to time
[09:41] <citizen> lip1, np. it should be up later today. there are people working on it now
[09:41] <mebaran151_> I tried touching a file as root and it complains that the filesystem is read only
[09:41] <nalioth> mebaran151_: then i'm lost
[09:41] <mwe> citizen: I'm guessing they need more bandwidth
[09:41] <kiran> Oh yeah, I did
[09:41] <kiran> Thank ye
[09:41] <citizen> could be
[09:41] <SGershon> mwe, I have different nameservers at work and at home. Can I set the two?
[09:41] <mebaran151_> I think it has to be with journaling
[09:41] <mebaran151_> because I read the kernel can't handle it
[09:42] <Lard-O-Lad> uh-oh, is security.ubuntu.com down?
[09:42] <mebaran151_> how do I disable journaling on hfsplus
[09:42] <Lard-O-Lad> my update is stuck at 0%
[09:42] <mwe> SGershon: if you set it up to use DHCP everything should work ok
[09:42] <mwe> SGershon: if you paste /etc/network/interfaces at paste.ubuntu-nl.org I'll have a look at it
[09:43] <nalioth> mebaran151_: your answer will probably be in the hfstools package
[09:43] <gatekeeper> ubuntu servers seem to be up & down like fidlers elbow, what ever there problem, it's time to stop using sticking plaster!!
[09:44] <citizen> gatekeeper: i love the analogy
[09:44] <citizen> fiddler's elbow
[09:44] <mebaran151_> I reformatted my ipod as vfat
[09:44] <gatekeeper> citizen, :-)
[09:44] <mebaran151_> but Banshee won't see it still
[09:45] <davegoodson> Hi, i have a problem with getting my wireless card to connect to my router using network-manager-gnome. it just wont connect
[09:45] <citizen> bah, banshee, smashee, use Listen: http://listengnome.free.fr
[09:45] <citizen> it has iPod writr support
[09:45] <mebaran151_> does listen do cross encoding
[09:45] <citizen> write*
[09:45] <mebaran151_> and that server had an internal error
[09:45] <SGershon> mwe, my /etc/network/interfaces is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20025
[09:46] <SGershon> mwe, it is quite weird.
[09:46] <mwe> SGershon: I'll look at it
[09:46] <kiran> zomg I <3 you guys
[09:46] <SGershon> I don't have no eth2 in my computer (that I know about).
[09:46] <[Jonne] > hi, i just installed the kubuntu-desktop package over ubuntu, but it also changed the usplash. Is there a way to reset it?
[09:46] <kiran> Thanks for the help
[09:46] <SurfnKid> davegoodson, do u use wep
[09:46] <[Jonne] > (i want it to be the default ubuntu one)
[09:46] <citizen> mebaran151_ i dunno about cross encoding, you can check the fatures page
[09:46] <mwe> SGershon: yeah it's a little messed up
[09:46] <mwe> SGershon: are you using the wifi connection?
[09:46] <davegoodson> SurfnKid: i'm using WPA-PSK
[09:47] <citizen> dave: did it ask you for your key?
[09:47] <SGershon> At work I use the wifi (eth2), and at home the Wired (eth0).
[09:47] <SurfnKid> oh right, i think you can configure that thru the /etc/network/interfaces file,  just not sure how.  look at iwconfig, wireless manual
[09:47] <SGershon> mwe, sorry, see above.
[09:47] <Kittiah> Okay, have now tried several ways and cannot get Python 2.3 to install alongside 2.4, due to a conflict between the different versions of libreadline required for both. Any ideas how I can either get Python 2.3 programs to run properly with the pre-installed Python 2.4, or how I can install both versions of Python? o.o
[09:47] <mwe> SGershon: ah ok. so ath0 and wlan0 are bogus?
[09:47] <mwe> SGershon: and what is eth1?
[09:48] <davegoodson> citizen: it doesnt even show up on the list of wireless networks, even if i set the router to show its ssid
[09:48] <boolka> Why is my downloading packages ( updating)  is sooo slow... it started with a nice 450 kbs now its 10 kbs
[09:48] <citizen> davegoodson: is there a button on your machine to enable the wireless card?
[09:48] <citizen> well, do other networks show up?
[09:48] <davegoodson> yep
[09:48] <SGershon> mwe, ath0 and wlan0 I think are wrong. eth1 should be the Wifi.
[09:48] <mwe> SGershon: can you paste the output of ifconfig, ifconfig -a ans iwconfig?
[09:49] <gatekeeper> boolka, you need to wait until america goes to bed :-)
[09:49] <SGershon> Sure :)
[09:49] <[Jonne] > never mind, found the answer on the web
[09:49] <mwe> SGershon: I thougt you said eth2 was the wifi
[09:49] <boolka> gatekeeper sheesh :(
[09:49] <citizen> davegoodson, do you have MAC filtering on your router?
[09:49] <HackMaster> quick question for anyone: when you run an install using the ubuntu alternate install disk the end result should be a fully working ubuntu install, correct?
[09:49] <Kyral_Laptop> yes
[09:49] <davegoodson> yep, but ive allowed the wireless's mac
[09:49] <boolka> HackMaster yes
[09:49] <Kyral_Laptop> the alternate install is just the old NCurses installer
[09:50] <gatekeeper> HackMaster, yep!
[09:50] <citizen> davegoodson, disable it, and then try. I had troubles with MAC filtering, and had to disable it
[09:50] <mwe> it's better imho
[09:50] <blind> Okay guys. Have a little problem.
[09:50] <citizen> !ask
[09:50] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:50] <mwe> the ncurses installer gives proper errors if something fail
[09:50] <davegoodson> i think thats done it :) thanks
[09:51] <citizen> no problem, davegoodson
[09:51] <davegoodson> citizen, but why does it do that? i'd prefer to have mac filtering on :)
[09:51] <blind> I went ahead and opened my computer, threw in a video card I had laying around, hooked up a second monitor, and turned on my machine. The computer is using the secondary monitor, and gdm won't load because it's not configured correctly. So I'm here on irssi via bash prompt :P
[09:51] <kiran> is it possible to run counter-strike: source on wine?
[09:51] <HackMaster> so in theory, if i ran an alternate install and after the reboot i came to a command line interface requesting me to login as "oem", then something went wrong
[09:52] <mwe> HackMaster: as oem?
[09:52] <citizen> yes, i like it too, but maybe nm-applet just doesn't supprt it with some routes/cards. i'm sure there will be more supprt in the next release
[09:52] <HackMaster> yes
[09:52] <boolka> HackMaster use the  text  install not oem
[09:52] <HackMaster> ah
[09:52] <ashiles> hello!
[09:52] <ashiles> I've a problem with ubuntu lts and a big hard disk
[09:52] <citizen> davegoodson, i just hide my SSID, and "connect to other network"
[09:52] <HackMaster> so in other words my "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" command was useless
[09:52] <citizen> lol
[09:53] <mwe> kiran: I think it is if you put a lot of work into it
[09:53] <gatekeeper> blind, this any help? dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:53] <citizen> that's not good
[09:53] <ashiles> the cd unit is allais running and its impossible to do nothing...
[09:53] <kiran> !mp3
[09:53] <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
[09:53] <blind> uh. let me try that, gatekeeper. how do i get back to my prompt? :\
[09:53] <HackMaster> because it just decided to install about 600 packages
[09:53] <SGershon> mwe, all the outputs are at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20026 . It is nice of you to look at them! Thanks!
[09:53] <jryer> When I try to save as docbook (xml) in Writer, it hangs. Anyone know how to fix this?
[09:53] <nalioth> blind: where did you lose it?
[09:53] <mwe> kiran: personally I gave up gaming in linux for now. it to much trouble for me
[09:53] <blind> it's somewhere behind irssi :P
[09:53] <eegore> I may have to redirect my smtp to a proxy server outside the net
[09:54] <boolka> HackMaster cant help you there... i did the   alternate cd  couple min ago as well, did oem first then didnt like it did text and it asked some more questions like user name and pass...
[09:54] <eegore> Their system is screwed up as well
[09:54] <HackMaster> boolka, huh? you ran oem then decided to reinstall normal?
[09:54] <mwe> SGershon: ok. the essid you connect to at work is "Guest" ?
[09:54] <Lynoure> eegore: I don't know. try it?
[09:54] <boolka> HackMaster yes
[09:54] <HackMaster> i guess i missed the normal entry
[09:54] <blind> oh neat, ctrl+alt+f2
[09:55] <SGershon> mwe: Correct.
[09:55] <boolka> HackMaster the very first option,  soemthing text install
[09:55] <rippon> My friend's install stopped at 92% while trying install Floppy Driver Module...he tried it again after going into Bios and disabling the FLoppy...but to no avail...and there is no floppy there anyway.
[09:55] <eegore> I am starting to get supremely cheesed
[09:55] <HackMaster> ok
[09:55] <HackMaster> thanks
[09:55] <rippon> any ideas?
[09:55] <HackMaster> {away}
[09:55] <rippon> it is on a p5LD2-VM
[09:56] <blind> alright, now how do I run GDM?
[09:56] <crazy_penguin> i wish a good night to all! sleep well!

[09:58] <mwe> SGershon: ok. create a backup. sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.bak. then use this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20027. I think it will work

[09:59] <ygetartson> hi
[09:59] <ygetartson> i need help
[09:59] <ygetartson> grub-install
[10:00] <mcdonaldsguy> I've found that the dapper installer has problems fetching files from apt proxies (I've tried apt-cacher and approx).. has anybody experienced this problem?
[10:00] <ygetartson> tells me: stage1 not read properly
[10:00] <ygetartson> i am on live cd
[10:00] <SGershon> mwe, thanks a lot. Really!
[10:00] <mwe> SGershon: yw
[10:00] <ScottMac> ok time for a non common question, I've been having problems with a dual network card setup
[10:00] <ScottMac> we have 1 card for Lan and 1 card for WAN
[10:00] <blind> Okay, still no luck. Tried a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, went through the whole thing, restarted and still nothing.
[10:01] <ScottMac> the WAN card seems to be simply not working, acting as if there is  no data
[10:01] <gatekeeper> mormoloc, if you start up konqueror type in apt:/ press enter then search for your package what does it tell you?
[10:01] <mormoloc> i use mozilla
[10:01] <mormoloc> :(
[10:02] <bkudria> in installed lmsensors, but when i run 'sensors', i get 'No sensors found!'...what shoudl I do?
[10:02] <ygetartson> i ned to do a grub-install, please helpn
[10:02] <gatekeeper> mormoloc, mozilla firefox? you don't have konqueror installed?
[10:04] <Kittiah> So, no-one else has ever had the problem of not being able to install packages that require Python 2.3 while they have Python 2.4 installed??
[10:04] <ScottMac> anyone have a dual network card setup here?
[10:05] <Leeif> !joystick
[10:05] <ubotu> I know nothing about joystick - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[10:05] <fdoving> ScottMac: a few, what is your problem?
[10:05] <trappist> Kittiah: ls -l `which python`
[10:05] <blind> I checked the error output that it offered me, it said "no screens found" yet.. it's using the screen for the bash prompt..
[10:05] <Leeif> a question: how do i configure my joystick?
[10:05] <ScottMac> fdoving: connect to the WAN seems to randomly drop and only the internal card responds
[10:05] <ygetartson> !grub
[10:05] <zenzero> hi guys, I can't connect to the internet from my newly installed Ubuntu
[10:05] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[10:05] <trappist> blind: it doesn't mean screen like monitor
[10:06] <blind> trappist, oh. well then.. um.
[10:06] <jhelwer> hi
[10:06] <zenzero> is there anybody to help me troubleshoot this
[10:06] <jhelwer> dew
[10:06] <blind> zenzero, using a router?
[10:06] <jepler> anybody have advice on a "socket am2" board that works nicely with linux?  not planning to overclock.
[10:07] <blind> zenzero?
[10:07] <zenzero> blind: I'm connected through a adsl router. If I connect directly to the router it doesn't work. If I connect through a wireless router connected to the router it doesn't work either. I'm wired not wireless.
[10:07] <Leeif> joyxstick!!!!!!1
[10:07] <blind> Wait, router or modem?
[10:08] <zenzero>  blind: probablyu modem
[10:08] <roshan_s> Quick question, a while ago I found an RSS feed of uploads to the edgy archive, but I can't find it again. Can anybody tell me where it is?
[10:08] <cica> folks: when trying to apt-get install network-manager-gnome I get the following: E: Couldn't find package network-manager-gnome
[10:08] <cica> . (does anyone know what this problem might be??)
[10:08] <blind> now, you're using the username and password the phone company gave you for your DSL connection, right?
[10:08] <zenzero> blind: in Windows it works. and it use to work on 6.06 beta
[10:08] <zenzero> blind: there is no username and password provided
[10:09] <blind> so it's an open dsl connection? O_o
[10:09] <trappist> roshan_s: are you running dapper?
[10:09] <roshan_s> trappist: Yes, I'm running Dapper
[10:09] <trappist> blind: it's just not pppoe
[10:09] <zenzero> blind: not really open. to connect you need to be physically wired to the wall and to the tv cable
[10:10] <trappist> roshan_s: it's in the main repository
[10:10] <bkudria> in installed lmsensors, but when i run 'sensors', i get 'No sensors found!'...what shoudl I do?
[10:10] <blind> Wait, tv cable?
[10:10] <trappist> zenzero: wait, tv cable? dsl?
[10:10] <trappist> bkudria: sudo sensors-detect
[10:11] <krimzon> does the ubuntu desktop cd have the wpa-psk stuff on it?
[10:11] <zenzero> blind: it's a high speed connection that has cable connected to the adsl modem (but some of the cable connect to the tv cable too)
[10:11] <sybren> hi folks! where does Ubuntu remember the NICs that are in a computer? I replaced a NIC (eth1) with another one, and now the new one is eth2 and I have no more eth1.
[10:11] <bkudria> trappist: thanks!
[10:11] <trappist> sybren: check /etc/network/interfaces
[10:11] <HellDragon> get your jesus off my car !
[10:11] <DarkJesus> Could someone give me hints on ways to boot into a system using the ubuntu cd?
[10:11] <roshan_s> trappist: I don't understand. How can an RSS feed be in the repo? I'm looking for a website with a newsfeed that contains notifications of the packages uploaded to Edgy
[10:11] <cica> hi folks: when trying to apt-get install network-manager-gnome I get the following: E: Couldn't find package network-manager-gnome. (does anyone know what this problem might be??)
[10:11] <DarkJesus> (5.05)
[10:12] <DarkJesus> (5.10 even)
[10:12] <sybren> trappist: I did. Got error messages about eth1 not existing
[10:12] <uniq_> fdoving: hi
[10:12] <bkudria> trappist: "No i2c device files found. Use prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh to create them."  now what?
[10:12] <trappist> roshan_s: I must have responded to the wrong guy, sorry
[10:12] <SGershon> Someone with an ATI M300 graphics adapter
[10:12] <trappist> roshan_s: stupid tab completion
[10:12] <SGershon> ?
[10:12] <jryer> When I try to save as docbook in Writer, it hangs. Anyone know how to fix this?
[10:12] <roshan_s> trappist: No problem :)
[10:12] <DarkJesus> This channel is useless
[10:12] <trappist> bkudria: oh, that happened to me.  you have to apt-get source lm-sensors and run the mkdev.sh script that's in there.
[10:12] <blind> !patience > DarkJesus
[10:13] <zenzero> but all this shouldn't matter because through an ethernet cable the eth0 should get a dynamic ip provided by the dhcp. this works on windows, but ubuntu .6.06 doesn't get it
[10:13] <trappist> bkudria: I think I filed a bug on that
[10:13] <bkudria> trappist: grr....i don't have source repos...thanks!
[10:13] <sybren> trappist: I have the same problem with the notebook I'm currently working on. the harddisk was moved from another laptop (same make/model) to this one. Now there are no eth0 and eth1, and lan and wifi appear as eth2 and eth3
[10:13] <trappist> zenzero: what happens if you say sudo dhclient eth0
[10:13] <owen_> when you mount a drive onto a point, after a while, does it unmount under certain conditions? because ive had them mount for a few days, now out of nowhere they are unmounted all of em...
[10:13] <acojlo> hi, I have a problem installing linsta2 theme from gnome-look
[10:13] <trappist> sybren: that happened to me when the mobo went out on my laptop - got it replaced, and my old eth0 is now eth2
[10:14] <frying_fish> owen_: only if there is a drive issue
[10:14] <DarkJesus> OK, guys. I have an ubuntu 5.10 cd. Could someone give me hints as to how it could be used to boot into an exisitng linux installation? It's the old windows overwriting the MBR problem.
[10:14] <zenzero> trappist: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval...
[10:14] <sybren> trappist: do you have any idea how to get Ubuntu to count from 0 again?
[10:14] <zenzero> trappist: my netmask should be 255.255.255.0 though
[10:14] <daaku> anyone installed ubuntu using deboostrap from damnsmalllinux? (i think i'm having issues because of the busybox dpkg)
[10:14] <SGershon> DarkJesus, can't you just boot from CD? Don't you have the option in the BIOS?
[10:15] <recon0> Is there any runescape client for linux?
[10:15] <DarkJesus> Yes...
[10:15] <SGershon> DarkJesus, And?
[10:15] <zenzero> trappist: at the end I get a No DCHPOFFERS received. No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.
[10:15] <DarkJesus> But SGershon, I don't want to boot into the ubuntu live CD
[10:15] <roshan_s> owen_: Are you sure your computer didn't reboot? Try the uptime command
[10:15] <trappist> DarkJesus: it's not a simple process to recreate the mbr from the cd, but here's a hint: you need to mount the local filesystem, then on that mount you need to mount --bind /proc and /dev... then chroot to it and work with grub or lilo from there.
[10:15] <DarkJesus> Right...
[10:15] <Kittiah> Trying to run ./reconf on the source for MudMagic to recompile it so it works with Python 2.4, but when I run ./reconf in the correct folder, I get './reconf: Line 5: aclocal: command not found' - Any ideas how to resolve this?
[10:15] <trappist> zenzero: the netmask there is for the dhcp broadcast, not your ip netmask
[10:16] <SGershon> DarkJesus, trappist , boot until the end in the ubuntu live CD and re-install GRUB.
[10:16] <zenzero> trappist: ah ok. so it looks like he doesn't establish any lease for the ip with the dhcp server
[10:16] <DarkJesus> SGershon, lilo
[10:16] <SGershon> DarkJesus, trappist, it should work.
[10:16] <davegoodson> Hi, ive got ubuntu on my laptop and the fan on it doesnt seem to do much, is there any way i can control my laptops fans speed
[10:16] <trappist> zenzero: yeah, that's usually because it fails to contact the dhcp server, which means there's no connectivity
[10:16] <owen_> ah ok, i just firgured it out, you cant directly share a fat32 partition with windows and edit data, with out having done a few things beforehand correct?
[10:16] <SGershon> DarkJesus, Lilo... hum. Never did it with Lilo.
[10:17] <trappist> SGershon: that'll give you an mbr, but what will it boot to?
[10:17] <atoponce> davegoodson: what laptop brand/model?
[10:17] <trappist> it's easier with lilo than it is with grub :) or, it was for me
[10:17] <Kittiah> Anyone? :/
[10:17] <davegoodson> atoponce: hp tc42000
[10:17] <zenzero> trappist: anything else we can try? lsmod, lspci, ifconfig, dmesg | grep eth, /etc/network/interfaces, /etc/resolv.conf... something... please
[10:17] <SGershon> trappist, grub recognizes the boots in the different partitions and sets them accordingly. It "knows" htat it is running from a not permanent drive.
[10:18] <recon0> Can I run the runescape client on linux? Is there any unofficial one?
[10:18] <blind> Alright, so I have my second video card put in (the first one is integrated), and it's automatically using the second one. all I want to do right now is make my computer use the integrated video card so i can at least boot normally, rather than a bash prompt.
[10:18] <SGershon> trappist, it worked for a friend, but I don't know if installing LILO will help DarkJesus.
[10:18] <trappist> SGershon: that doesn't sound like the experience I had with it.  maybe it's a new feature
[10:18] <loko555> Kittiah: aclocal, i think you should install autoconf and automake
[10:19] <trappist> SGershon: it would if he did it my way, but I gave him as many details as I felt inclined to, after his "this channel is useless" thing
[10:19] <Ubuntugamer> Is there any education program to learn the musical notes for Ubuntu ????
[10:19] <atoponce> davegoodson: can you control other aspects of the board?  cup freq scaling, temp, etc?
[10:19] <SGershon> trappist, :)
[10:19] <davegoodson> atoponce: via linux? i dont know how to do that
[10:19] <trappist> Ubuntugamer: you might ask in #edubuntu if nobody here knows
[10:20] <SGershon> This is one of the coolest channels. Learnt so much here.
[10:20] <slaxy> hi guys
[10:20] <Miek> hi slaxy
[10:20] <BHSPitMonkey> one of my least favorite
[10:20] <atoponce> davegoodson: but you just want to control the fan speed, right?  the cpu fan?
[10:21] <Kittiah> loko: Thanks dude, installing now
[10:21] <slaxy> can anyone help me with some information regarding GPG keys
[10:21] <davegoodson> atoponce: well yeah just that really :)

[10:22] <sybren> trappist: that's the source of the weird numbering
[10:23] <Bob535> Anyone know where Cedega woulda stuck its files for Steam/CS:Source? I can find the transgaming drive folder, but they are not in there
[10:23] <davegoodson> atoponce: i have it set in bios to put the fan on full speed when connected ac
[10:23] <trappist> sybren: cool, never heard of that file
[10:23] <sonicchao> XD this is probably dumb...but how do I leave this virtual terminal?
[10:23] <blind> doo doo doo..
[10:24] <Bob535> nm found it
[10:24] <sybren> trappist: neither did I, but someone on the ubuntu forums did :)
[10:24] <slaxy> can anyone help me with some information regarding GPG keys... well im trying to install a application ... wammu .... i updated sources.lst and i guess i need to get the keys... cos im unable to install from synaptic ...
[10:24] <trappist> sybren: awesome
[10:24] <sybren> trappist: yeah :)
[10:24] <sybren> bye all!
[10:24] <owen_> what if all your partitions are not getting shown on the file browser? and you just mounted an ext3 drive and 2 fat32's
[10:25] <trappist> slaxy: gpg --recv-key keynumber && gpg --export --armour keynumber > file.asc && sudo apt-key add file.asc

[10:30] <bkudria> trappist: sure
[10:31] <BHSPitMonkey> kdt, do you have any output?
[10:31] <kdt> not sure how to create output
[10:31] <kdt> i tried running it in a terminal and the terminal crashed too

[10:31] <BHSPitMonkey> hmm
[10:31] <jacques> BHSPitMonkey: after install, it worked perfectly, then it buggers up
[10:31] <BHSPitMonkey> odd

[10:34] <trappist> Quinn_Storm: does the directory you're in still exist?
[10:35] <Quinn_Storm> trappist: yes, its $HOME
[10:35] <trappist> Kittiah: try installing libglib2.0-0 and libglib2.0-dev
[10:36] <Kittiah> Thank you :)
[10:36] <trappist> Kittiah: also, apt-get install apt-file, apt-file update, and apt-file search gthread
[10:36] <Kittiah> trappist: Actually have the glib packages installed
[10:36] <TheGateKeeper> Quinn_Storm: not the same sort of problem I get with sourcesafe on windows where it forgets the working directory for a particular file path?
[10:36] <blind> haha i fixed it. :] 
[10:36] <trappist> Kittiah: maybe it wants the libglib1.2 headers
[10:37] <Quinn_Storm> TheGateKeeper: I doubt it...I'm not the only one getting this issue either
[10:37] <TheGateKeeper> Quinn_Storm: can you reset the working directory?
[10:37] <Quinn_Storm> TheGateKeeper: sure, I'll try but I doubt it'll do anything
[10:37] <wawa> Hi guys, any recommendation for a good - and yet simple - console based firewall?
[10:37] <blind> Okay, so now the question is, I have two monitors set up, and can only see a picture on one. How do I get the other one working?
[10:37] <madmax> hello there... i kindof have some questions... i want to migrate from slakware to ubuntu... first... does the ubuntu kernel come with reiserfs support ?
[10:37] <trappist> Kittiah: libglib1.2-dev provedes libgthread.a, .la and .so
[10:37] <Quinn_Storm> nah, same thing after a 'cd /' 'cd /home/quinn'
[10:37] <trappist> *provides
[10:38] <mjr> madmax, yes. Recommend ext3 though.
[10:38] <trappist> I personally recommend reiserfs
[10:38] <HackMaster> how long should it take to install 500 packages?
[10:38] <madmax> well... i have a huge partition with reiserfs and a lot of things on it i don't want to delete... i'd like ext3 but can't make the change right now
[10:38] <cartesian1984> mjr, is there any particular advantages in ext3 over reiserfs?
[10:38] <TheGateKeeper> Quinn_Storm: permissions on cd /home/quinn are ok?
[10:39] <npster> Is there a command to make a clear binary from a ASM source and C++ source ?
[10:39] <Ubuntugamer> I need to share my media files with my XBOX console, does anyone know some program to create this server ?
[10:39] <trappist> madmax: you'll be fine with reiserfs - it's all I use

[10:39] <gnomefreak> HackMaster: depends on speed of processer and speed of internet
[10:39] <qwerty2k> hi, has anyone any experience with giftui/gift? i can getting the error upon starting giftui that connection to localhost failed, anyone help me?
[10:39] <madmax> complicated process... i'm afraid to start it :)
[10:40] <acojlo> I went today down to a nice fashion shop and bought myself nice desktop theme complete! :)
[10:40] <trappist> mjr: but hans reiser says reiserfs 3 is the most stable filesystem for linux!
[10:40] <Kittiah> Trappist - "Couldn't find package apt-file"?
[10:40] <gnomefreak> Kittiah: you have to install it
[10:40] <mjr> trappist, I assume you're kidding?
[10:40] <trappist> Kittiah: you need to enable your universe repository
[10:40] <Kittiah> gnome - Thats with the sudo apt-get install apt-file command
[10:40] <TheGateKeeper> Quinn_Storm: silly idea, create another directory on your hard disk, and persuade it to go there?
[10:40] <Ubuntugamer> I need to share my media files with my XBOX console, does anyone know some program to create this server ? It could be an UPnP server...
[10:40] <trappist> mjr: I'm being tongue in cheek of course, but in my experience it is pretty stable
[10:41] <nalioth> Kittiah: enable universe and multiverse repos
[10:41] <zokzok> wie komme ich in den deutschen ubuntu channel ????
[10:41] <trappist> slaxy: please keey it in here
[10:41] <nalioth> !tell Kittiah about repos
[10:41] <Quinn_Storm> TheGateKeeper: I'll try that, but I expect the same results (other users are getting the same results)
[10:41] <sputnick> mlehrer - nope, when I try to use the keybord (eg enter) I get strange typing like: ^C
[10:41] <npster> Is there a command to compile and link C++ and ASM source code files into clear binary (extension *.bin) ?

[10:42] <gnomefreak> zokzok: /j #ubuntu-de
[10:42] <mjr> npster, it is unclear what you want (or even if you know what you want)
[10:42] <nalioth> zokzok: type /j #ubuntu-de
[10:42] <slaxy> trappist: well i tried everything... it looked like a success.... but still synaptic doesnt let me install the application
[10:42] <zokzok> thx :)
[10:42] <trappist> npster: g++ for c++, nasm for asm
[10:42] <acojlo> this channel should be called #ubuntu_rtfm
[10:42] <jon_> help me i installed easyubuntu and messed up my synaptic packages
[10:42] <Ubuntugamer> I need to share my media files with my XBOX console, does anyone know some program to create this server ? It could be an UPnP server...
[10:42] <npster> ok but can it make clear binary files .bin ?
[10:42] <jon_> do i have to manually fix the sources.list?
[10:43] <trappist> npster: sure, g++ -o foo.bin foo.cpp
[10:43] <gershon> hellow, kiba dock?
[10:43] <trappist> npster: but, what do you mean by 'clear binary'
[10:43] <cartesian1984> acojlo, I'm going to go make that channel! Anyone who wants to be told to rtfm, come join ubuntu-rtfm!
[10:43] <blind> Anyone? :] 
[10:43] <jon_> can someone help me?
[10:43] <trappist> blind: what video card
[10:44] <blind> one's an on board, the other is a ...
[10:44] <blind> t..
[10:44] <blind> i just lost it.
[10:44] <npster> trappist: I want to make my own Kernel and I found this site that helps u make one, I need clear binary files with extension .bin.
[10:44] <blind> begins with a t..
[10:44] <TheGateKeeper> jon_: what way messed up?
[10:45] <SGershon> gershon, I hope people don't confuse us.
[10:45] <trappist> npster: I still don't know what you mean by clear binary files, but all you need to build kernel source is sudo apt-get install build-essential
[10:45] <francis> i want to set up my windows disk to be mounted at startup and be writable with my normal account.  what should i put in fstab?
[10:45] <Ubuntugamer> I need to share my media files with my XBOX console, does anyone know some program to create this server ? It could be an UPnP server...
[10:45] <npster> trappist: I mean binary (machine code) files ?

[10:45] <jon_> sorry for the huge paste
[10:45] <trappist> npster: also the kernel is not written in c++
[10:45] <qwerty2k> hi, has anyone any experience with giftui/gift? i can getting the error upon starting giftui that connection to localhost failed, anyone help me?
[10:45] <mwe> jon_: don't paste here
[10:46] <jon_> okay
[10:46] <TheGateKeeper> jon_: use pastebin :-)
[10:46] <npster> trappist: I know but there is a way to make one in C++
[10:46] <trappist> npster: all compilers make files like that.  to give them a .bin extension you can tell the compiler to make a file with that extention, or even rename the files
[10:46] <jon_> sorry, i do not know about pastebin
[10:46] <jon_> im a noobie
[10:46] <bimberi> jon_: sudo apt-get update
[10:46] <mwe> !paste > jon_
[10:46] <blind> TRIDENT.
[10:46] <blind> trident 3d blade
[10:46] <blind> ...i think.
[10:46] <mwe> jon_: read /msg from ubotu
[10:46] <npster> trappist: That won't change the contents of the file, do you even know what machine code is ?
[10:47] <blind> does that sound right to anyone?
[10:47] <jon_> thnx mwe
[10:47] <mjr> npster, this is not the correct forum to talk about creating your own kernel. Recommend further study, anyways.
[10:47] <trappist> npster: compilers make binary files - machine code - out of source code files.  apt-get install build-essential and you'll have what you need.
[10:47] <npster> ok
[10:47] <TheGateKeeper> jon_: type this into terminal and tell me what it returns? cat /etc/issue
[10:48] <jon_> im using sudo apt-get update
[10:48] <jon_> hold on a sec
[10:48] <mwe> npster: file extensions don't make much sense in linux except maybe to the human reading the file name
[10:48] <npster> mjr: I know but I am using Xubuntu so I need to ask someone from ubuntu to tell me how to compile the files, does this makes any sense to you now !?
[10:48] <blind> trappist, one is an onboard (intel) the other is a Trident 3D blade
[10:48] <micahcowan> mwe, well, they can also help the desktop try to figure out what kind of file it is, if there's no obvious magic-number thing...
[10:49] <poje> npster: I hardly think you're ready to start writing your own kernel at the moment
[10:49] <sputnick> I've got a problem with the installation of ubuntu (x-server fail) - I've got a ati gfx card - can some1 help?
[10:49] <trappist> blind: I can show you my xorg.conf for my dual head setup if you think it'll help.  I made it by hand though.  I don't know whether there's a gui solution.
[10:49] <npster> poje: why ?
[10:49] <Evil_Ed`> out of interest
[10:50] <npster> poje: It is a simple one, just writing to the screen Hello World  :)))
[10:50] <poje> npster: you're asking someone about the process of compiling files?
[10:50] <blind> trappist, think that trident card is supported?
[10:50] <poje> npster: that would be a program, not an OS kernel ;)
[10:50] <trappist> blind: you probably won't have hardware acceleration, but yes
[10:50] <blind> Alright cool.
[10:50] <npster> poje: No, how to make files that are clear machine code out of a source code file.
[10:50] <mwe> heh
[10:50] <trappist> poje: you could write a kernel that just boots up and says hello world
[10:50] <mwe> npster: that would be the process of compiling
[10:50] <poje> trappist: do you think his program will boot? ;d
[10:51] <blind> trappist: I'd take a look at your xorg.conf, but I'm really not sure what I'm doing so I don't think that'd be much help
[10:51] <mwe> npster: but what is "clear" machine code?
[10:51] <trappist> poje: no :)
[10:51] <npster> mwe: Just the machine code, no relese dates contained in it ...
[10:51] <MystaMax> hello, how do I ssh to servers via hostname?
[10:51] <trappist> MystaMax: ssh boxname
[10:51] <mwe> npster: release date?
[10:52] <MystaMax> trappist, it cant resolve the hostname
[10:52] <ryanakca> MystaMax: is the hostname on your local network?
[10:52] <POVaddct> MystaMax: ssh username@boxname
[10:52] <trappist> MystaMax: gotta fix that first
[10:52] <TheGateKeeper> npster: you taliking about using assemble language?
[10:52] <MystaMax> ryanakca, yes it is
[10:53] <mwe> npster: echo 'int main() {printf ("Hello, world\n");}' >hello.c && gcc -o hello hello.c && ./hello
[10:53] <jon_> thegatekeeper, i have breezy badger 5.10
[10:53] <azureal> hi, i have a question about linux sources; after I installed 5.10 and upgraded to 6.06, my grub would show 2.6.15 but also two other kernels, and now i'd like to remove those two
[10:53] <ryanakca> MystaMax: kk... try accessing it by ip... that might work
[10:53] <TheGateKeeper> jon_: did your update work?
[10:53] <MystaMax> ryanakca, oh i know i can via IP. just wondering why I cant via hostname
[10:53] <mwe> npster: that would create your "clear" machine code
[10:53] <poje> Is anyone else having trouble with the security.ubuntu.com repo?
[10:53] <azureal> so in synaptic... i was wondering if it was ok to remove old linux kernel images as well as headers...
[10:54] <trappist> azureal: yes
[10:54] <bimberi> azureal: search for 'linux-image' in synaptic and remove the unwanted ones
[10:54] <jon_> no
[10:54] <trappist> azureal: I like to keep a spare kernel or two around, though, just in case
[10:54] <azureal> and the headers?
[10:54] <npster> mwe: anything else for C++
[10:54] <jon_> could not connect to security, blah blah
[10:54] <POVaddct> MystaMax: you either need a dns server or an entry in the client's /etc/hosts
[10:54] <azureal> trappist: i'd like to, but not 2.6.12 and lower...
[10:54] <bimberi> azureal: yes, you don't need to keep any headers unless compiling things that need them
[10:55] <trappist> azureal: it's safe to remove
[10:55] <MystaMax> POVaddct, lol u just reminded me why. its my dns server. No entries for those other boxes. thx
[10:55] <trappist> bimberi: he probably doesn't need to compile anything against the source of an old kernel he doesn't want to use
[10:55] <bimberi> trappist: indeed
[10:56] <TheGateKeeper> jon_: this may be a server problem in that people are encountering problems with the ubuntu repos, this may be a case of waiting until they are fixed, or using mirrors if the exist, not sure if they do
[10:56] <azureal> ok, thanks guys =)
[10:56] <jon_> i gues the updates worked except when it tried to connect to security.ubuntu.com
[10:56] <jon_> alright
[10:56] <mwe> npster: echo 'int main() {std::cout << "Hello, world"}' >hello.cpp && g++ -o hello hello.cpp && ./hello
[10:56] <npster> TheGateKeeper: Yes, in the boot, I need it only then, the other thing is all in C++
[10:57] <Kittia1> Dang it, have installed and updated all of the glib libraries and it still can't find the gthread libraries while trying to run a configure script, any other ideas?
[10:57] <npster> mwe: u forgot "the square include <iostream>
[10:58] <eegore> here is a kicker, earthlinks smtp server is screwed up as well
[10:58] <mwe> npster: I believe it's included by default. I might be wrong though
[10:58] <jon_> how do i update ubuntu to the newest version?
[10:58] <vandenoever> jon_: open /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:58] <npster> mwe: and the return 0;, and there is a .h file for the video to work and ....
[10:59] <vandenoever> jon_: replace dapper with edgy evrywhere
[10:59] <TheGateKeeper> npster: bad news that last time I did assemble was on a 68000 motorola, looked at an x86 and decided c++ was a better bet sorry :-( but this clarify to others what you are after
[11:00] <jon_> im running breezy, btw
[11:00] <npster> TheGateKeeper: What do u mean ?
[11:00] <vandenoever> oh, then replace breezy with dapper
[11:00] <poningru> jon_: breezy is a bit older
[11:00] <poningru> I would recomend going with dapper
[11:01] <poningru> !upgrade > jon_
[11:01] <npster> !upgrade jon_
[11:01] <ubotu> I know nothing about upgrade jon_ - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[11:01] <Kittia1> Anyone have any idea what I might need to install to get gthread libraries?
[11:01] <SGershon> How can I check if acceleration is 'enabled' for my ATI graphics adapter?
[11:01] <mwe> npster: wrong
[11:01] <mwe> npster: test it
[11:01] <Pulshion> how to convert mov to avi in ubuntu?
[11:01] <mjr> SGershon, glxinfo |grep -i direct
[11:02] <npster> mwe: OK
[11:02] <npster> I guess I'm quitting my will for my Kernel...
[11:02] <poningru> Pulshion: mencoder
[11:02] <SGershon> mjr, Direct rendering: yes.
[11:02] <SGershon> mjr, Accelerated?
[11:02] <Atlasofart> hi
[11:02] <mjr> SGershon, yes, seems so
[11:02] <ushineko> Kittia1: libglib2.0-0
[11:02] <SGershon> Cool.
[11:02] <SGershon> mjr, thanks.
[11:03] <mwe> npster: you were right about having to include <iostream> explicitely though
[11:03] <skypa> I'd like to change the default ubuntu icon of the menu bar, any ideas/resources? :)
[11:03] <ushineko> er, libglib2.0-dev rather
[11:03] <npster> I LOVE ubuntu :)
[11:03] <snapped> hello sorry to interupt. i just installed ubuntu from the live(desktop cd) and let it Wipe the drive on install
[11:04] <ushineko> dpkg -L libglib2.0-dev
[11:04] <snapped> it wont seem to boot
[11:04] <Grok_> running dapper desktop and i noticed that the apache i got using synaptic didn't contain mod_perl. is there a "ubuntu way" of getting it or should i just d/l it from their site and install directly?
[11:05] <npster> Don't u just  Ubuntu ?
[11:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Im tryint to get a dialup to work, I have my user name and password (works on another system) but when I run kppp I get remote system is required to authenticate itself but it could not find a suitable secret password to do so.?
[11:05] <mwe> npster: return 0 is not needed for the program to compile either as that is default if its not stated
[11:05] <jon_> can i download music and upgrade to dapper at the same time?
[11:05] <incandenza> Grok_: install libapache-mod-perl
[11:06] <Grok_> incandenza, thank you very much
[11:06] <npster> mwe: that can NOT be true cause main() is an int ; it has to "return 0;" in order to work :)
[11:06] <dapet> If I have a netgera rooter, and I can't get my netgear WG111v2 adapter to work. Can I then just replace my adapter with a ubuntu friendly adapter?
[11:06] <mwe> npster: no
[11:06] <mwe> npster: test it
[11:06] <bur[n] er> dapet: yes
[11:06] <npster> OK, OK
[11:06] <mwe> npster: the compiler asumes return 0 if you don't state it in an int function
[11:06] <bur[n] er> dapet: you don't have to run all netgear ;)
[11:06] <dapet> thx
[11:07] <greddy> anyone know any good socks 5 servers for ubuntu?
[11:07] <npster> I got aMule and I  don't know the servers ?
[11:07] <dapet> bur[n] er: thx.... Do you know a cheap ubuntu friendly adapter?
[11:08] <bur[n] er> !tell dapet about Hardware
[11:08] <mwe> npster: I just tested this: echo -e '#include <iostream>\nint main() {std::cout << "Hello, world!\\n";}' >hello.cpp && g++ -o hello hello.cpp && ./hello
[11:08] <KnowledgEngi> hello
[11:08] <micahcowan> greddy, apache can be configured to do that, actually.
[11:08] <mwe> npster: it worked
[11:08] <bur[n] er> !hardware
[11:08] <ubotu> For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[11:08] <StFS> damn... security.ubuntu.com is slow today... anything special going on?
[11:08] <npster> OK
[11:08] <KnowledgEngi> i have installed some not-ufficial package
[11:08] <snapped> how about boot issues with no errors (any help!!!)
[11:08] <mjr> mwe, npster, of course you realize that that has pretty much no bearing on making a kernel that hellos the world...
[11:08] <poje> StFS: I think it's down atm
[11:08] <KnowledgEngi> and now synaptic return some errors?
[11:09] <mwe> mjr: yeah 
[11:09] <KnowledgEngi> is possible delete automatically all that is not ufficial ???
[11:09] <StFS> poje: I seem to be getting bits and pieces from it now and then
[11:09] <KnowledgEngi> supported
[11:09] <dapet> bur[n] er: thx.... You are my hero of the week :D
[11:09] <poje> StFS: lucky ;(
[11:09] <npster> hehe...
[11:09] <StFS> poje: well.. that only adds to the frustration ;)
[11:10] <mwe> mjr: I think someone needs to do some reading to understand the terms 
[11:10] <axolx> hey guys. does ubuntu 6.06 include GRUB? i only get the option to install LILO in the installation menu. I am installing a server, from the alternate CD, amd64
[11:10] <poje> StFS: wait, it seems to be working again
[11:11] <telecentro> hola
[11:11] <Pulshion> using mencoder what options would i use to conver test.mov to test.avi please could someone help me
[11:11] <poningru> does k3b require you to convert to mpeg before burning vcd/dvd?
[11:12] <poje> Pulshion: Perhaps you should consult google instead of asking that here
[11:12] <mwe> poningru: I'm not positive but I think it takes care of it
[11:12] <radio> hi
[11:12] <poningru> woah that would be awesome
[11:13] <mgorbach228> anyone able to tell me where oo.org keeps temp files???
[11:13] <cartesian1984> Pulshion, OR! You could join ubuntu-rtfm and be RTFM'd there instead of here!
[11:13] <Kyral_Laptop> prolly /tmp
[11:13] <mgorbach228> i dont have anythign under that except some directories
[11:13] <radio> how can i halt ubuntu in 30 minutes automaticily ?
[11:13] <snapped> TFM sucks and is highly Vauge
[11:13] <Pulshion> poje -- thanx for the answer, i used google and got to the guide that told me to do :  mencoder /home/dmitriy/Desktop/DSCN1045.mov -o movie.avi -ovc lavc -oac lavc
[11:13] <mgorbach228> orbit-username keyring-bla and so on
[11:13] <snapped> uber bitches
[11:13] <Pulshion> poje -- and it didnt work
[11:14] <poje> radio: man shutdown, it should be something like sudo shutdown -h 30
[11:14] <Cornellius> Are the repos down or slow ??
[11:14] <poje> Pulshion: I still fail to see how this is an ubuntu question
[11:15] <Pulshion> poje -- if you dont know the answer then dont say anything
[11:15] <chikpink17> hola
[11:15] <acojlo> how to get colors back into bash?
[11:15] <HackMaster> is there any way to change the size of a swap partition in an actively used install of ubuntu?
[11:16] <poje> Pulshion: I had a legitimate concern with your question, unrelated to ubuntu, being asking in the #ubuntu channel
[11:16] <chikpink17> hello
[11:16] <poje> HackMaster: gparted might help ya, I haven't used it myself
[11:16] <chikpink17> hola
[11:16] <Pulshion> poje -- sorry then, where SHOULD i ask this questions then?
[11:16] <HackMaster> gparted states that the partition is locked
[11:16] <mwe> Pulshion: it's ok to ask that here
[11:16] <micahcowan> acojlo, not sure what you mean: bash generally has no concept of colors. It's a terminal thing. What's not showing color that you want to? ls?
[11:17] <acojlo> HackMaster: yes, but you must boot system from a install cd for resizing job and maybe change /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[11:17] <incandenza> HackMaster: get the gparted live CD
[11:17] <gatekeeper> HackMaster, probable need to run it up on a live cd
[11:17] <radio> poje, i try sudo shutdown -h +20
[11:17] <Pulshion> mwe -- thanx
[11:17] <radio> poje, thx
[11:17] <radio> bye
[11:17] <HackMaster> all the live-cds that i see pick up on the swap partition and use it
[11:17] <mwe> Pulshion: for general chat there is #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:17] <acojlo> micahcowan, ok - well, when I started "Terminal" it used to have colors on directory names and executable files, but then something gone wrong with .bashrc
[11:18] <poje> acojlo: does ls --color=auto work?
[11:18] <Pulshion> mwe -- this isnt an offtop questions, im asking how to convert mov to avi
[11:18] <citizen> back
[11:18] <micahcowan> if it had colors on directory names, that's an ls issue, not bash. Probably, you had an alias for ls (many distros do)
[11:18] <incandenza> HackMaster: the gparted one doesn't...  I've never had a problem destroying and recreating a swap partition with it
[11:18] <eegore> well evolution just hosed itself
[11:18] <acojlo> poje, yes, so it's mather of alias?
[11:18] <mwe> Pulshion: I agree
[11:18] <poje> acojlo: yep :)
[11:18] <mwe> Pulshion: that's why I said it's ok to ask that here
[11:18] <HackMaster> i guess the gparted one would be designed to not lock partitions
[11:19] <Pulshion> mwe -- ok then lol
[11:19] <HackMaster> whats the RAM necessity for the gparted livecd?
[11:19] <acojlo> poje, so how to set it? In .bashrc? How?
[11:19] <micahcowan> acojlo, yes.
[11:19] <neildarlow> i can't find a package for cvs in my dapper install. where do i get it from?
[11:19] <poje> acojlo: alias ls='ls --color=auto'
[11:19] <micahcowan> Add something like alias ls="ls --color=auto"
[11:19] <incandenza> HackMaster: I don't know, minimal?
[11:19] <poje> acojlo: inside your .bashrc file
[11:19] <Pulshion> mwe -- could you help me or you dont know how? i followed the guide and all i get is a broken avi
[11:19] <eegore> there are times when ISPs can be a pure form of aggravation
[11:19] <mwe> acojlo: do you have an alias for ls? type alias to check
[11:19] <HackMaster> i have tweaked a full ubuntu install to run on 64MB ram
[11:19] <HackMaster> and my swap is only 192MB
[11:19] <gatekeeper> HackMaster, how much ram have you got?
[11:20] <HackMaster> 64MB
[11:20] <gatekeeper> ooops too late :-(
[11:20] <scast> What's the best way to install Crossover office, with a Debian (or Xandros) .deb or with an .sh ?
[11:20] <acojlo> mwe, poje : it works, thank you
[11:20] <acojlo> now I have just one alias - for ls
[11:20] <reid> is there a command I can run that will install grub?
[11:20] <mwe> Pulshion: Last I converted a file I read the manual pages half of the evening
[11:20] <incandenza> it says "GParted LiveCD runs on most x86 machines with a PII or better." ... so I don't think it's going to require a huge amount of RAM.  it does boot into X, though
[11:20] <micahcowan> acojlo, What happened to your earlier .bashrc?
[11:20] <scast> reid grub-install
[11:21] <reid> thankyou scast
[11:21] <HackMaster> x is fine
[11:21] <micahcowan> acojlo, is it now empty except for that line?
[11:21] <HackMaster> x with gdm/gnome is fine too
[11:21] <jyrgen> blah
[11:21] <Pulshion> mwe -- i dont have half of the evening lol, thats why i need it quick it cant be something hard
[11:21] <moises> quien tiene ubuntu instalado en su maquina o lo sepa usar
[11:21] <acojlo> micahcown, I do not know, it started complaining about parsing errors at some lines of .bashrc. So I deleted it and copied /etc/profile to .bashrc
[11:21] <citizen> !es
[11:21] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[11:21] <acojlo> micahcowan, yes it's empy except for ls
[11:21] <incandenza> I really don't think the ubuntu install CDs will automatically jump on your swap partition like that, either
[11:21] <micahcowan> acojlo, that's probably not what you wanted to do. Better would be /etc/skeleton/.bashrc
[11:22] <HackMaster> its not very fast, but its good to keep people from messing with my computer
[11:22] <mwe> Pulshion: it's not hard - if you know the program 
[11:22] <HackMaster> xubuntu seemed too
[11:22] <eegore> Ah coool the specials!!!!!!!
[11:22] <micahcowan> acojlo, 'scuse me, should be /etc/skel/.bashrc
[11:22] <mwe> Pulshion: I don't use it regularely so I can't give you a quick answer
[11:22] <moises> #ubuntu-es
[11:23] <reid> How do I use it scast?  I want to install it on (hd0,0) btw- I am installing while running ubuntu- do i grub-install (hd0,0)?
[11:23] <acojlo> micahcowan, thank - I beleive you and I did it now :) works
[11:23] <scast> grub-install /dev/hda i think
[11:23] <h8red> am getting this error - checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works... no
[11:23] <h8red> configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables. any help?
[11:23] <reid> thanks
[11:23] <citizen> moises, use /join #ubuntu-es
[11:23] <greddy> rofl i want to setup a proxy server but just from reading the boards i can tell i'm not going to have fun :P
[11:23] <mwe> h8red: install build-essential
[11:23] <micahcowan> (acojlo, just FYI, /etc/skel contains all the files that get automatically copied into new users' home directories)
[11:23] <acojlo> ok
[11:24] <acojlo> /etc/skeleton :) shoul be /etc/embrion :)
[11:24] <moises> #ubuntu-es
[11:24] <nikin> micahcova: where do you get that info?
[11:24] <micahcowan> nikin, I have no idea, just one of those things that's been sitting in my brain for quite awhile.
[11:24] <micahcowan> :)
[11:25] <citizen> moises, use por favor el (command?) "/join #ubuntu-es"
[11:25] <micahcowan> It's pretty ubiquitous across Unixen, I believe.
[11:26] <SleepySocks> anyone here using ubuntu with a 20 inch lcd monitor?
[11:27] <SleepySocks> my old monitor is on the fritz and I'm thinking about a samsung 20 inch with 1600x1200
[11:27] <scast> What's the best way to install Crossover office, with a Debian (or Xandros) .deb or with an .sh script ?
[11:27] <StFS> ok... what's the difference between linux-image-2.6.15-amd64-generic/server/k8/xeon?  I do know that k8 is the AMD processor and Xeon is the intel one... but I have a Pentium "D" processor... should I use the Xeon package for that? or should I use -server or -generic???
[11:27] <poje> SleepySocks: I have a 17" LCD
[11:27] <owen_> i edited my /etc/fstab and its not auto mounting my drives, and its not even showing all my partitions
[11:27] <nikin> micahcowa: can you give me a backup of your brain?
[11:27] <Kyral_Laptop> Dude a Pentium D is a 686
[11:27] <SleepySocks> it has a refresh rate of 60 at that resolution, is that an issue if my video card has dvi?
[11:27] <bur[n] er> StFS: just use the normal one
[11:27] <SleepySocks> hi poje
[11:27] <nikin> i could make great use of this kind of info
[11:28] <SleepySocks> do you use yours as a dvi or analog input
[11:28] <mwe> owen_: you probably entered wrong info
[11:28] <greddy> anyone ever setup a socks5 proxy server in ubuntu?
[11:28] <h8red> mwe: thanks, but now i get this error -  GLIB >= 1.2.2 not installed - please install first
[11:28] <Pulshion> mwe -- hehe i dont know the program
[11:28] <poje> SleepySocks: vga, it doesn't really make much difference
[11:28] <SleepySocks> does refresh rate matter at all if you have dvi?
[11:28] <poje> SleepySocks: you shouldn't have any problems, just don't take my word for it ;d
[11:29] <SleepySocks> ok, thanks...
[11:29] <mwe> h8red: install libglib probably
[11:29] <mwe> Pulshion: ask again in the channel or google maybe
[11:29] <StFS> Kyral_Laptop: Pentium D is an EM64T processor
[11:30] <Kyral_Laptop> StFS: you sure? I know some aren't 64bit
[11:30] <StFS> Kyral_Laptop: I'm sure
[11:31] <SirGrok> I am having a bit of trouble with a script that I just pulled from the web. http://pastebin.ca/122731 is the part of the script that is locking up. I don't know how to tell it that I want to use ATI. It crashes when I type "2", "2)", "2) ATI or Intel", or "ATI or Intel" and hit enter
[11:31] <citizen> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_D
[11:31] <Jack_Sparrow> I need to have a symlink created every time the pc boots.  ln -s /dev/ttyS5 /dev/modem  how do I create or add this to an init script?
[11:31] <owen_> the problem is, before i edited my fstab, i had made a fat32 partition to share with windows, i had written data to it, then accessed it using windows, i log back on, and its not showing all my partitions, and its not mounting correctly either... i dont know what happend.
[11:31] <longwave> Jack_Sparrow: easiest way is put in /etc/rc.local
[11:31] <longwave> *put it in
[11:31] <Jack_Sparrow> thanks long
[11:31] <bur[n] er> owen_: boot back into windows and run a chkdsk
[11:31] <citizen> @stfs and Kyral_Laptop: wikipedia says "The Pentium D processor supports Intel's EM64T technology"
[11:32] <micahcowan> nikin, mostly it comes from enjoying the reading of many man/infopages. :-)
[11:32] <Jack_Sparrow> !diskmounter > owen
[11:32] <bur[n] er> owen_: eventually you should convert it to ext3... windows can read ext3 with fs-driver.org
[11:32] <Blissex> owen_: you can share 'ext2'/'ext3' with MS Windows: http://FS-driver.org/
[11:32] <Jack_Sparrow> !diskmounter > owen_
[11:32] <owen_> thank you all
[11:32] <nikin> micahcowa: that is just fine, but i need a lot of selected knowledge in about 3 weeks
[11:32] <owen_> i will convert them all right now
[11:33] <gregg__> SirGrok, I doubt it crashes there. can you provide a link to the complete script?
[11:33] <micahcowan> nikin, :-).   ...why? And what specific areas?
[11:33] <HackMaster> how much ram would a xubuntu install require?
[11:34] <citizen> probably 128
[11:34] <citizen> but i don't know for sure
[11:34] <dapet> Anyone have Experience with Wireless adapters, I thuoght on buing a new one, but search on the net, It is a jungle in there :( anyone have good experience with a adapter that just work?
[11:34] <azureal> hi, is there a way to preview how grub will look (w/o restarting) ?
[11:34] <citizen> dapet, buy something with the atheros chipset
[11:35] <HackMaster> sorry if someone stated it already, but how much ram would a standard xubuntu install require?
[11:35] <gregg__> yes, atheros is the way to go
[11:35] <crimsun> HackMaster: depends whether you're using the graphical or the text-based installer
[11:35] <dapet> citizen: thx
[11:35] <citizen> 128, hackmaster
[11:35] <HackMaster> its already installed
[11:35] <gregg__> atheros chipsets have very good sensitivity and pretty good driver support
[11:35] <citizen> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XubuntuDapperReleaseNotes#head-0ca89a2e16807e844ced26dd988f5ef7541d9b15
[11:35] <crimsun> HackMaster: then ~64
[11:35] <HackMaster> so, 64MB ram with 192 swap would do?
[11:35] <Renan_s2> HackMaster, I would put 256MB swap
[11:36] <crimsun> that's probably the extreme lower end for comfort
[11:36] <citizen> if you want a super slow system, it will run great!
[11:36] <crimsun> it'll run in 48 MB, but you'll want to stab your eyes
[11:36] <Renan_s2> I have 512MB RAM and 640MB swap...
[11:36] <HackMaster> i want do do 1024MB swap, but i cant figure it out
[11:36] <nikin> micahocva: coz i need to be 100% in ubuntu, when i go back to school, coz i have to tell the teachers to let me use linux instead of Win. so almost every area, but most system maintenance, server setup, user managgement, Crossplatform stuff
[11:36] <midas> hi @ll
[11:36] <_bt> hey

[11:38] <greddy> i downloaded a program and it came with a bunch of files like a makefile and install and configuration file, how do i install the program
[11:38] <magus_x> hello, anyone available to support me? my mic isnt working
[11:38] <Renan_s2> Warbo, most players work as removable USB devices
[11:38] <Warbo> !compile > greddy
[11:38] <citizen> magus_x, i can help
[11:38] <Renan_s2> my digital camera also works as a removable USB device.
[11:38] <_bt> the ubuntu splash screen causes my console to have problems, i've disabled it, but on each kernel upgrade it comes back. how to make change permanent?
[11:38] <midas> do i need a prog. or something to hear what i plged into 'mic' ??
[11:38] <magus_x> well, my mic works in the mode "enter by one way and leave by other" i mean
[11:38] <mcdonaldsguy> I'm messing around with approx (apt proxy), and I'm getting some strange behavior... apt-get update says that it can't fetch the http://.../Packages.gz file, but I can wget that file just fine
[11:39] <mcdonaldsguy> has anybody seen this before?

[11:39] <magus_x> even the sound recorder dont works
[11:39] <citizen> hmm...
[11:39] <Warbo> Renan_s2: Yes, but it would be good if it was detected (I hate to say it, but adding loads of music files to a USB disk and plugging it into Windows will ask if you want to play them)
[11:39] <citizen> magus_x, open alacarte menu editor from the applications > accessories menu
[11:39] <midas> so no recording ??
[11:39] <magus_x> ok, wait
[11:39] <Renan_s2> Warbo, I understand what you want to do.
[11:39] <magus_x> no recording, no skype
[11:39] <magus_x> no teamspeak
[11:39] <magus_x> nothing :(
[11:39] <Warbo> greddy: Also...
[11:39] <Renan_s2> when I plug in my digital camera in Windows it also asks me to download the pictures.
[11:39] <citizen> skype never works on linux, haha
[11:39] <Warbo> !checkinstall > greddy
[11:40] <thadood> Man, I tell you, I've come to love Ubuntu.

[11:40] <thadood> Compiled 2.6.17.8 with no problems, got my bcm43xx wifi to work
[11:40] <citizen> magus_x, then scroll down to where it says preferences
[11:40] <magus_x> i dont have
[11:40] <Warbo> Renan_s2: I think camera detection does work for a few camera types

[11:41] <citizen> ailean, my sound card uses a crappy chipset
[11:41] <ADminS> !backup
[11:41] <ubotu> There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi
[11:41] <ailean> citizen, why not get a new one?
[11:41] <magus_x> midas, : mine is not working
[11:41] <citizen> because it is soldered onto my laptop's mobo
[11:41] <magus_x> citizen, : no idea of what should i do?
[11:41] <Warbo> iratik: Dapper is default, only do !info packagename distro if distro is older (or newer) than dapper
[11:41] <citizen> ;-)
[11:42] <ailean> citizen, does sound not work at all then?
 i can talk on mic

[11:43] <magus_x> gnomefreak, ?
[11:43] <magus_x> !enter
[11:43] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[11:43] <citizen> ailean, no, my mic works with ALSA, and auido output works with ALSA, OSS and ESD, but skype uses OSS input :(
[11:43] <ailean> ah right

[11:48] <kaffeewoller> do you have one for dapper-security main?
[11:48] <micahcowan> (just checking)
[11:48] <kaffeewoller> it is being quite slow right now
[11:49] <TubaSoldier> I'm just asking this to know if it is my connection or the server. Are updates taking forever on your end too? I'm dropping as low as 5k/sec.
[11:49] <mcdonaldsguy> TubaSoldier: heh, be grateful, I had 30 bytes/sec a minute ago...
[11:49] <gatekeeper> TubaSoldier, security - the server
[11:49] <owen_> alright what is the exact file that tells ubuntu what drives i have... because its not showing one of my ext3 paritions..
[11:49] <Evil_Ed`> unsure
[11:49] <gh0zt> out of interest
[11:49] <Warbo> Pulshion: I would use "mencoder -ovc xvid -oac mp3lame -xvidencopts bitrate=128 -lameopts br=64 -o output.avi test.mov" (maybe "-lameopts b=64")
[11:50] <TubaSoldier> mcdonaldsguy - thanks at least I know it isnt just me.
[11:50] <Warbo> Pulshion: Obviously you change the bitrates
[11:50] <Pulshion> Warbo -- thanx
[11:51] <justin420> im downloading ubuntu-6.06-desktop-i386.iso ubuntu-releases.cs.umn.edu at 82.9 kbps, which also seems kind of slow
[11:51] <owen_> everytime i mount, and restart, the mount is back to how it was..
[11:51] <TubaSoldier> Its too bad they don't have more servers. obviously there is a lot more intrest in Ubuntu then there has been in the past.
[11:51] <Warbo> justin420: That's debatable, since small mirrors can't habdle much bandwidth, and large mirrors may be getting loads of traffic (I use bittorrent for Linux isos usually)
[11:52] <magus_x> NICEEE
[11:52] <magus_x> worked now
[11:52] <magus_x> i just typed
[11:52] <magus_x> amixer set Capture toggle
[11:52] <magus_x> LOL
[11:52] <magus_x> =D
[11:52] <magus_x> =D
[11:52] <magus_x> nice
[11:52] <gatekeeper> owen_, fstab
[11:52] <magus_x> it is working now
[11:52] <azureal> lo, is there another way to change xterm settings than creating my own directory and typing "xrdb -merge"
[11:52] <magus_x> thanks all
[11:52] <HellDragon> blind: ?
[11:52] <gatekeeper> !fstab
[11:52] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file lists all drives and partitions that are mounted on the system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !partitions
[11:52] <magus_x> and especialy who bringed me the topic
[11:53] <azureal> brought*
[11:53] <Warbo> lol
[11:53] <Comrade_Sergei> whats an itunes substitute for ubuntu i can use for my ipod
[11:53] <marl> hi, can someone tell me if there is a virtual package for ubuntu that downloads all the normal dev packages, like gcc, make etc.... ?
[11:54] <Warbo> Comrade_Sergei: An iTunes store client is sharpmusique, whilst I think Rhythmbox and Amarok can save files to iPods
[11:54] <fdoving> marl: build-essential
[11:54] <Comrade_Sergei> amarok can cool!
[11:54] <marl> thanks fdoving :)
[11:54] <Warbo> Amarok IS seriously super :)
[11:54] <Centaur5> What would I need to add to a custom kernel to get rid of this error when trying to boot: ata_piix 0000:00:1f.2: invalid MAP value 0. Kernel panic-not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1)?
[11:55] <azureal> bleh @ amarok
[11:55] <azureal> i can't believe you Warbo!
[11:55] <Comrade_Sergei> Warbo WMP can to but does amarok put them in ipod readable directories?
[11:55] <odla> flashplugin-nonfree is stalling...should i kill it?
[11:55] <Warbo> azureal: I am trying to break my addiction (well, diverge it on to Listen)
[11:55] <Warbo> Comrade_Sergei: That's what I meant
[11:55] <Comrade_Sergei> cool thanks
[11:56] <ravenous> has anyone here actually installed a pcf font? ive followed the wiki and still have no luck
[11:56] <Warbo> Comrade_Sergei: The file manager can save files to iPods, since they use their second partition as a hard drive, but those music clients can add them to playlists
[11:56] <HeXiOn> Hello
[11:56] <HeXiOn> need help
[11:56] <azureal> for an .mp3 player, i prefer beep-media-player
[11:56] <Warbo> HeXiOn: Just tell us your problem :)
[11:56] <OtavioRibeiro> where can i find the gstreamer-quicktime plugin!?
[11:56] <gatekeeper> odla, if it's still in the download phase then probable ok to kill it, otherwise probable not
[11:56] <SpaceBass> anyone mention songbird?
[11:56] <dimak> Hi
[11:56] <SpaceBass> i think songbird works with ipods
[11:57] <SpaceBass> anyone using ubuntu and samba as a domain controller?
[11:57] <dimak> I'm trying to install dual boot ubuntu on mac and windows. Is there any information on this, or is there a tool on the distribution?
[11:57] <HeXiOn> in dapper with XGL, my screen goes off when I'm watching movies... I've tried with all options (gconf-editor, energy settings...) and nothing works
[11:57] <odla> gatekeeper: i killed it after looking for it under top
[11:57] <HeXiOn> any idea?
[11:57] <odla> gatekeeper: and it installed fine
[11:58] <Warbo> I use XMMS for XM/S3M/IT/MOD, and the occasional isolated set of MP3s (like a new album, to make sure it has ripped properly) then I add them to a library-style player (Amarok can only play XM/S3M/IT/MOD if you drag them manually into the playlist, and even then they have no meta-data)
[11:58] <gatekeeper> odla, :-)
[11:58] <Renan_s2> I use amaroK for managing my MP3 collection (2300 songs and growing)
[11:58] <odla> gatekeeper: thanks
[11:58] <SpaceBass> personally I use iTunes on osx...its the killer app for me
[11:58] <Warbo> HeXiOn: You can completely disable the monitor's suspend settings by removing the "option      "DPMS"" line from the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:58] <gatekeeper> dimak, there is a google video on dual boot windows / ubuntu
[11:59] <gatekeeper> odla, yw :-)
[11:59] <HeXiOn> Warbo: going to my xorg.conf... ;)
[11:59] <Warbo> HeXiOn: To edit that file, open a terminal and run "gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[11:59] <HeXiOn> yes, I know, thanks a lot ;)
[11:59] <SpaceBass> I've installed 5 different distros over the past 2 days....time to try ubuntu
[11:59] <Warbo> HeXiOn: (it's under the Device section for your monitor)
[12:00] <HeXiOn> Warbo: do u thinks it's for xgl or it's ubuntu at all?
[12:00] <Intangir> how do i set up ssh so that when i shell into a certain host it automatically authenticates me without having to login with a password
[12:00] <Intangir> loke how do i set up the rsa key stuff
[12:00] <AAA> Intangir  ssh-keygen
[12:01] <Warbo> HeXiOn: It may be gnome-screensaver. It is pretty new, so those movie players which do support disabling screensaver stuff only support xscreensaver at the moment
