[12:01] <Daishi> ohh k
[12:01] <OneTruth> Ubuntu_noob:  Yep, what you are looking for is called VNC
[12:01] <Stormx2> Hey folks, does ubuntu have a place where it stores the number of max files open at any one time?
[12:01] <looksaus> ok, scan it for fglrx and radeon
[12:01] <Ubuntu_noob> is there a guide to setting up VNC on ubuntu?
[12:01] <looksaus> majd, grep fglrx xorg.conf.2006blah
[12:01] <majd> looksaus, it found radeon in the file
[12:02] <majd> but not fglrx
[12:02] <looksaus> ok, so now you're sure it's your old config
[12:02] <majd> k
[12:02] <looksaus> the safest way to go forward now is to
[12:02] <looksaus> make a backup copy somewhere of your current xorg.conf
[12:03] <majd> k
[12:03] <looksaus> move the old one back into place
[12:03] <xeh> delete the xorg.conf it is useless.
[12:03] <looksaus> then press ctrl-alt-backspace
[12:03] <majd> into place being renaming it?
[12:03] <looksaus> cp it, keep both backups
[12:03] <OneTruth> Ubuntu_noob: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_dapper#Remote_Desktop
[12:03] <looksaus> pressing ctrl-alt-backspace will restart your xserver
[12:04] <looksaus> (logging out first is a good idea)
[12:04] <majd> ok, here's what i did, made a backup of the old xorg, and the one that i'm using now
[12:04] <majd> then i deleted xorg.conf and renamed the old one to just xorg.conf
[12:04] <looksaus> well, you did it in two steps, but hey, the result is the same
[12:05] <looksaus> ok, now on to logging out, ctrl-alt-backspace
[12:05] <looksaus> to reload your old config
[12:05] <looksaus> and login again
[12:05] <mapal> all:ahojte jej tu niekto cz alebo sk?
[12:05] <mapal> asi nik
[12:05] <looksaus> hope to see you back here soon :)
[12:05] <mapal> :-|
[12:05] <Jack_Sparrow> !cz
[12:05] <Jack_Sparrow> guessing
[12:05] <Ych> is there a way to list all the channels here?
[12:06] <majd> i have a two computer setup (imac and linux)
[12:06] <majd> i'm chatting on my imac
[12:06] <looksaus> majd, ah, perfect
[12:06] <looksaus> I'm typing this from an iBook, actually
[12:06] <majd> k, ctrl+alt+backspace doesn't do anything visually
[12:06] <majd> cool :)
[12:06] <looksaus> (converted to ubuntu of course)
[12:06] <majd> i have a macbook too
[12:06] <majd> what's wrong with osx?
[12:07] <looksaus> majd, I happen to like free software :)
[12:07] <majd> lo
[12:07] <majd> heh
[12:07] <majd> i don't mind paying <40-50 bucks for software
[12:07] <looksaus> me neither
[12:07] <looksaus> but only for free software
[12:07] <gnomefreak> guys can you try to stay on topic please
[12:07] <xeh> you can get everything for free on the internetz
[12:07] <micahcowan> is ubotu broken?
[12:07] <micahcowan> !ubotu
[12:07] <gnomefreak> yes
[12:07] <gnomefreak> micahcowan: very
[12:08] <Ubuntu_noob> lol
[12:08] <leagris> onsoir
[12:08] <OneTruth> what is the user that runs CGI scripts in ubuntu
[12:08] <looksaus> majd, but you say ctrl-alt-backspace doesn't do anything?
[12:08] <majd> looksaus, i just logged out and in
[12:08] <majd> nothing changed
[12:08] <Lattyware> OK, after failure last time, does anyone know of a way to confine full-screen aps to one moniter in a dual screen setup?
[12:08] <looksaus> no, of course not
[12:08] <Lattyware> Using twinview
[12:08] <looksaus> you could also log out again
[12:08] <looksaus> then in a terminal type
[12:08] <looksaus> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[12:09] <looksaus> but ctrl-alt-backspace should really kill your x server for you
[12:09] <maccam94> are LTS versions only going to be RELEASED every 18 months or are they just going to be SUPPORTED for 18 months?
[12:09] <majd> wow
[12:09] <looksaus> or there is something very wrong with your keyboard settings
[12:09] <majd> ok, not it put me in text mode
[12:09] <majd> looksaus, umm
[12:09] <majd> i'm using synergy
[12:09] <looksaus> majd, you didn't do this from a graphical terminal, did you?
[12:09] <majd> k, now how do i switch to GUI mode?
[12:10] <majd> yeah i did
[12:10] <majd> grr i'm confused
[12:10] <Ubuntu_noob> wat is better Linux Red Hat or Ubuntu>
[12:10] <Ubuntu_noob> >?
[12:10] <looksaus> np, we'll get this back up and running
[12:10] <majd> k
[12:10] <looksaus> what does it complain about right now?
[12:10] <Lattyware> Ubuntu_noob: I'd say Ubuntu, but you are in #ubuntu, so there may be a bias :P
[12:10] <majd> it's not complaining at all
[12:10] <mikolan> Hmm, how do I stop ubuntu from beeping the speaker in my computer case? It's quite annoying :P
[12:10] <txx2> Anyone know what kernel version (exact) of edgy eft is? I need to know because I messed up my xorg.conf file and ideally, the whole thing so I can get into ubuntu 6.10 again
[12:11] <looksaus> ok, then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[12:11] <cowmilk> My terminal has been at "Setting up flashplugin-nonfree (7.0.63.3ubuntu3) ..." for 16 minutes now.
[12:11] <looksaus> from the terminal you're in
[12:11] <cowmilk> wha is wrong?
[12:11] <looksaus> cowmilk, that doesn't look healthy
[12:11] <Lattyware> OK, after failure last time, does anyone know of a way to confine full-screen aps to one moniter in a dual screen setup? (Using Twinview)
[12:11] <greg_> flashplugin-nonfree doesn't work at all in 64 bit, right?
[12:11] <Ych> my father uses redhat, but from using that i think i prefer my ub8untu
[12:11] <micahcowan> mikolan: it's a setting in your terminal emulator
[12:11] <maccam94> Ubuntu_noob: Red Hat costs money, Ubuntu doesn't. It is better to compare to Fedora Core, but I haven't used it. Also, since this is #ubuntu i'd say ubuntu. especially if you're a linux noob.
[12:11] <majd> k
[12:11] <majd> back in GUI
[12:11] <cowmilk> looksaus: i trried directly downloading the flashplug from adobe's site ,but it's also stalled
[12:11] <majd> haha
[12:11] <micahcowan> mikolan, are you using gnome-terminal?
[12:11] <Ubuntu_noob> woot i think i got a sucessful install this time!
[12:11] <majd> glxgears is fast and smooth;
[12:11] <majd> :-D
[12:11] <looksaus> majd, as promised :)
[12:12] <majd> thanks a lot
[12:12] <mikolan> yup gnoem terminal
[12:12] <mikolan> gnome*
[12:12] <looksaus> but what you probably should do now, to avoid future confusion
[12:12] <DoppelGanger> wwwersmem elony
[12:12] <micahcowan> mikolan, go into Edit -> Current Profile, go to the General tab and uncheck "Terminal Bell"
[12:13] <looksaus> majd, you could leave it like this
[12:13] <majd> k
[12:13] <looksaus> but if I were you, I would at least kick the flgrx stuff off
[12:13] <looksaus> and if you feel courageaous, reconfigure the x server afterward
[12:13] <looksaus> s
[12:13] <mikolan> thanks micahcowan that stopped the terminal from beeping :) now if I could stop other programs from doing it too thta would be great :)
[12:13] <angel> hey...
[12:14] <angel> Does anyoun know how to login as root?
[12:14] <looksaus> to avoid a confused package manager "updating" your settings back to these wrong ones
[12:14] <greg_> I think I am going to switch to 32 bit kernel instead of 64....anyway to do that without reinstalling?  no, right?
[12:14] <looksaus> angel, sudo su -
[12:14] <DoppelGanger> DoppelGanger:
[12:14] <mikolan> for example firefox beeps when it cant find any search results and you continue to input text
[12:14] <looksaus> angel, but that's very probably what you DON't WANT
[12:14] <Ubuntu_noob> if you plug a PS2 mouse into the computer after it is boote with ubuntu can you use it or do i need to reboot it again?
[12:14] <Lattyware> mikolan: Just rip of your case, and destroy the little beeper.
[12:14] <ompaul> angel, you don't you use sudo for the work have a look at wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo to explain all about it
[12:14] <DoppelGanger> melo
[12:14] <Lattyware> :P
[12:14] <F0LL0W3R> heey how can i install java virtual machine  ?
[12:15] <angel> thanx ;)
[12:15] <mikolan> heh I catually did that with my old computer
[12:15] <looksaus> angel, DON't DO IT
[12:15] <mikolan> some bug in windows made it beep all the time
[12:15] <looksaus> what do you want to accomplish?
 for virtual machines i usually use VMWare
[12:15] <looksaus> angel, ?
[12:15] <Lattyware> so... anyone had any brainwaves?
[12:15] <F0LL0W3R> ubuntu_noob i mean JVM not VM ware lol
[12:16] <gnomefreak> F0LL0W3R: install sun-java5-bin
[12:16] <Crazed> sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre sun-java5-plugin
[12:16] <F0LL0W3R> gnomefreak did that and still have the error message
[12:16] <looksaus> because your question show me you don't entirely understand the implications of what you're trying to do
[12:16] <npster> !webcam
[12:16] <npster> !webcam
[12:16] <crogue5> bot is dead
[12:16] <npster> argh...
[12:16] <looksaus> and you can severely damage your system that way, if you don't watch out very carefully
[12:17] <F0LL0W3R> gnomefreak i want to open azureus torrent client and installed sun-java5
[12:17] <cowmilk> can anyone try downloading the tar.gz from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash. coz it stalls for me
[12:17] <mikolan> heh fixed the beep thing :)
[12:17] <cowmilk> if any of u is successful, please send that tarball to me
[12:18] <cowmilk> thank you!!!
[12:18] <micahcowan> looksaus, sudo su - isn't the right command, anyway.
[12:18] <looksaus> micahcowan, it will work...
[12:18] <Lattyware> I am running two moniters from one card using Twinview. The problem is that full screen apps go accross both and sit in the middle, which is very annoying, and sometimes unusable (think UT2004). Is there a way to confine fullscreen to only my right moniter, for example?
[12:18] <F0LL0W3R> oke guys thx its workin now :D
[12:18] <micahcowan> looksaus, huh! I'm surprised Ubuntu even /has/ a su command by default.
[12:18] <looksaus> cowmilk, you shouldn't be running that kind of stuff
[12:19] <looksaus> use packages
[12:19] <cowmilk> looksaus: why not?
[12:19] <maccam94> micahcowan: of course it does
[12:19] <cowmilk> looksaus: i was tryying the package
[12:19] <looksaus> yes, stick to that
[12:19] <micahcowan> maccam94, why should it, since there's no root password, and sudo -i is quicker?
[12:19] <cowmilk> looksaus: but as i said, "Setting up flashplugin-nonfree (7.0.63.3ubuntu3) ..." has been on my screen for 23 minutes now
[12:19] <looksaus> kill it
[12:19] <Ubuntu_noob> wat is used for irc in ubuntu?
[12:19] <looksaus> ctrl-c
[12:19] <mcphail> micahcowan: you can change to _any_ user with su
[12:19] <cowmilk> looksaus: killed
[12:19] <micahcowan> likewise with sudo...
[12:19] <maccam94> micahcowan: what does sudo -i do?
[12:19] <cowmilk> now what?
[12:20] <looksaus> now look what apt says
[12:20] <micahcowan> maccam94, equiv of sudo su -
[12:20] <looksaus> try again
[12:20] <thybo> why won't kafeine read my mp3's and avis :'(?
[12:20] <micahcowan> (interactive login shell)
[12:20] <mwe> cowmilk: new flash movies don't work with it anyway because it's old
[12:20] <looksaus> sudo apt-get install the thing
[12:20] <looksaus> !mp3
[12:20] <thybo> yes mp3!!!
[12:20] <cowmilk> mwe, do you have flash?
[12:20] <looksaus> oh, damn, ubotu is dead
[12:20] <maccam94> micahcowan: well some people do set a password for root, though it's not a good idea. and sudo su is easier to type than reaching for the - imho
[12:20] <thybo> lol
[12:20] <thybo> i hope not
[12:20] <Seveas> looksaus, no, just undergoing brain surgery
[12:20] <thybo> lived it until now :p
[12:20] <cowmilk> looksaus:  this is the message http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20333
[12:20] <Ych> quick
[12:21] <mwe> cowmilk: yeah. but it only works with old movies
[12:21] <micahcowan> maccam94, fair enough.
[12:21] <Ych> get out the jumper cables
[12:21] <Ych> hes dead!!!
[12:21] <looksaus> Seveas, that's a reassuring thought :)
[12:21] <mwe> cowmilk: or rather it doesn't if it's too new
[12:21] <Ubuntu_noob> Will win-amp work on Ubuntu
[12:21] <Ubuntu_noob> ?
[12:21] <Seveas> looksaus, currently i'm solving: TypeError: resolve_alias() takes at least 3 arguments (1 given)
[12:21] <Seveas> TypeError: resolve_alias() takes at least 3 arguments (1 given)
[12:21] <cowmilk> can you help me go past the opening page of a site, mwe?
[12:21] <looksaus> Ubuntu_noob, no, but functionaly equivs will do
[12:21] <greg_> Amarok > all :)
[12:21] <mwe> cowmilk: I don't understand
[12:21] <looksaus> Seveas, I know you're doing a good job
[12:22] <thybo> mms is the equivalent ubuntu8noob
[12:22] <looksaus> thanks for that
[12:22] <cowmilk> mwe, check you pm
[12:22] <cowmilk> looksaus:  this is the message http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20333
[12:22] <Ubuntu_noob> What would i use to play .mp3 files on Ubuntu?
[12:22] <greg_> Amarok
[12:22] <haasteem> xmms
[12:22] <F0LL0W3R> ubuntu_noob mplayer sudo apt-get install mplayer
[12:22] <looksaus> looking at it, cowmilk, but I really had to talk to Seveas for a sec
[12:22] <xeh> sudo apt-get install vlc
[12:22] <cowmilk> looksaus: ok
[12:22] <xeh> :)
[12:22] <Lattyware> I am running two moniters from one card using Twinview. The problem is that full screen apps go accross both and sit in the middle, which is very annoying, and sometimes unusable (think UT2004). Is there a way to confine fullscreen to only my right moniter, for example?
[12:23] <Ubuntu_noob> F0ll0Wer can i PM you?
[12:23] <looksaus> he's one of the great people behind volunteer ubuntu support, if you didn't know
[12:23] <poningru> !update
[12:23] <micahcowan> F0LL0W3R, Ubuntu_noob, mplayer would hardly be my choice for playing .mp3s...
[12:23] <F0LL0W3R> ubuntu_noob ya sure
[12:23] <cowmilk> looksaus: yes i know
[12:23] <micahcowan> xmms, rhythmbox, ...
[12:23] <looksaus> cowmilk: sudo apt-get -f install ?
[12:24] <F0LL0W3R> micahcowan yea but its the best ^_^
[12:24] <micahcowan> for playing music playlists?
[12:24] <Ubuntu_noob> How would i get my box with Ubuntu to b in my network accessible by my P4 HT machine?
[12:25] <looksaus> Ubuntu_noob, use ssh
[12:25] <HeXiOn> hello again :)
[12:25] <Ubuntu_noob> Some help pl3ease?
[12:25] <looksaus> cowmilk, what does it say?
[12:25] <Crooper> i like xmms... even to play avi files
[12:26] <HeXiOn> I have a mouse logitech mx700 running on port PS2. I want to change it to port USB (it can be plugged in twice). Do I have to do any changes to xorg.conf to make it work??? or just switch it???
[12:26] <cowmilk> looksaus: i didn't do that
[12:26] <cowmilk> i did  sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree again
[12:26] <looksaus> and?
[12:26] <[Kork] > HeXiOn, remove the ps2
[12:26] <cowmilk> then i did,  sudo update-flashplugin. it's stalling heer
[12:26] <cowmilk> here
[12:26] <[Kork] > HeXiOn, just plug in the usb and the power
[12:26] <JackONeill> can I use chown to tell me what number (like 0777 for example) is applied?
[12:26] <looksaus> sudo update-fleshplugin?
[12:27] <JackONeill> i.e. like 'attrib' would return what attributes are set
[12:27] <xeh> telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl
[12:27] <JackONeill> can chmod do the same?
[12:27] <looksaus> you mean you are fiddling with an installer script of some kind?
[12:27] <HeXiOn> [Kork]  remove ps2? do u reffer on any line on xorg.conf?
[12:27] <[Kork] > HeXiOn, remove the cable
[12:27] <looksaus> I'm sorry, but you're on your own then
[12:27] <poningru> Jack_Sparrow: you can do ls -la
[12:27] <HeXiOn> [Kork] , ok thanks :)
[12:27] <Boj> I'm trying to run Scorched3d, however I get an error. 'Failed to set the video mode, couldn't find matching GLX visual'
[12:27] <looksaus> you're polluting your system that way
[12:27] <OneTruth> what user do i need to grant permissions to for CGI scripts
[12:27] <cowmilk> looksaus: yes coz of http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/DapperGuide#How_to_install_Flash_Player_.28Macromedia_Flash.29_Plug-in_for_Mozilla_Firefox
[12:27] <Ubuntu_noob> is there a guide to SSH?
[12:28] <JackONeill> When using 'attrib' on dos, it will tell me the attributes of a certain file - can chmod do the same?
[12:28] <[Kork] > HeXiOn, i got a mx 700 with keyboard and the ps/2 isn't plugged -> mouse runs on usb
[12:28] <Jack_Sparrow> poningru:  What?
[12:28] <looksaus> Ubuntu_noob, start by searching for the right packages
[12:28] <mopflite> JackONeill: ttbomk no
[12:28] <poningru> Jack_Sparrow: err sorry wrong person
[12:28] <looksaus> and use google
[12:28] <JackONeill> mopflite, WHAT!?
[12:28] <Ubuntu_noob> Right Packages?
[12:28] <Jack_Sparrow> np about time I woke up.. :)
[12:28] <looksaus> Ubuntu_noob, the ssh packages
[12:29] <[Kork] > guys, does anyone know how to remove the java bar in java applets?
[12:29] <looksaus> look for them in your package manager
[12:29] <looksaus> on the command line, for example, you would do:
[12:29] <looksaus> apt-cache search ssh
[12:29] <cica> hi guys... any VPN guru's online?
[12:29] <looksaus> and see what that gives
[12:29] <cica> thats colud advise on a problem... please :-)
[12:29] <looksaus> then install the packages you think you need for setting up an ssh connection between these two machines of yours
[12:30] <mopflite> cica: I know a little about getting a juniper ssl vpn running on dapper with dapper as the client - there's fairly specialised though really
[12:30] <looksaus> cica, only a tiny chence I can help you
[12:30] <looksaus> what is your problem?
[12:30] <^NaTacHa^> what kernel is the latest ubuntu using ?
[12:30] <Ubuntu_noob> ok is ther more than 1 way for networking ubuntu with windows or is that the only way?
[12:31] <mwe> ^NaTacHa^: stable?
[12:31] <mopflite> Ubuntu_noob: there are several ways
[12:31] <looksaus> Ubuntu_noob, you were asking for
[12:31] <mopflite> using samba is perhaps the most common
[12:31] <mwe> ^NaTacHa^: 2.6.15
[12:31] <JackONeill> how would I use chmod to set all files (recursively) to 0777 mode?!
[12:31] <mwe> JackONeill: be careful with that
[12:31] <Miek> use -R
[12:31] <JackONeill> mwe... not ALL files lol
[12:31] <JackONeill> just in this dir of mine
[12:31] <mwe> JackONeill: chmod -R 777 path/to/dir
[12:32] <JackONeill> right
[12:32] <cica> mopflite & looksaus: I get the following error when I run vpnclient connect {VPN}: Could not attach to driver. Is kernel module loaded? The application was unable to communicate with the VPN sub-system.
[12:32] <looksaus> Ubuntu_noob, it really depends on what you want to do
[12:32] <Ubuntu_noob> Ok well if i install VNC can someone help me with the networking?
[12:32] <looksaus> cica, _what_ kind of vpn?
[12:32] <sprink> man I like ubuntu I just wish they wouldn't dump it down sooo much that its not pleasent for more experienced users
[12:32] <sprink> dumb*
[12:32] <mopflite> sprink: I hear that complaint a bit, but I'm not sure it's valid
[12:33] <cica> looksaus: what do you mean by "kind"?
[12:33] <mopflite> it's perhaps in some ways more a gnome thing than an ubuntu thing
[12:33] <Ubuntu_noob> ok i have an airlink wireless card PCI if i shut down and install it will it work?
[12:33] <sprink> mopflite. its very valid
[12:33] <cica> looksaus: Cisco ?
[12:33] <mopflite> sprink: what functionality exactly are you missing?
[12:33] <ravenous> has anyone had problems with gtkpod claiming the file are copied, over, i sync and it takes forever to 'copy', but when you try on the ipod nothing is there?
[12:33] <^NaTacHa^> anyone using a a8n-VM CSM mobo here ?
[12:34] <sprink> mopflite. boot loader options during installation, window manager options during installation, x server options
[12:34] <looksaus> cica, sorry, won't be able to help you with that
[12:34] <peace-keeper> what package must i install to get the "strings" utility ?
[12:34] <Boj> Could someone take a look at this error message I get when trying to play Scorched3d. Its quite long so just say you're willing to help and i'll pm it to you. Thankyou
[12:34] <mwe> sprink: it's probably a good direction for the average windows user though
[12:34] <cica> cool... thanks Looksaus
[12:34] <sprink> mopflite. what if I wanted to use lilo. or xfree86, or I didn't want to install a boot loader?
[12:34] <looksaus> sprink, why not use debian then?
[12:35] <looksaus> or an expert mode install of the alternative cd?
[12:35] <cica> Any other VPN dudes out there that can help with what looks like a Driver problem? ? ?
[12:35] <sprink> well.. I am a old debian user.. i'm just giving ubuntu a try
[12:35] <sprink> i'v been using debian for years.. just trying something new for a change
[12:35] <erUSUL> sprink: not very different ubuntu is debian for the lazy ;)
[12:35] <sprink> I wish debian had the support that ubuntu has :(
[12:36] <elvis2006> ffffff
[12:36] <looksaus> sprink, that is a problem of critical mass
[12:36] <sprink> and the routine updates
[12:36] <looksaus> just today, I helped out a user who didn't know
[12:36] <looksaus> what an ethernet card was
[12:36] <looksaus> who didn't know that he had one in his computer
[12:37] <agliodbs> hey, why does ubuntu have two booths at Linux World Expo?
[12:37] <looksaus> who didn't know that he could unplug his ethernet cable from his evil usb ethernet adapter
[12:37] <maccam94> will edgy be LTS or will the next LTS be dapper+3 ?
[12:37] <sprink> agliodbs. one is for gnome build the other is for kde
[12:37] <looksaus> and plug it into the computer direcltly
[12:37] <cica> where is Bittorrent ran from?
[12:37] <looksaus> sprink, but he did manage to install ubuntu
[12:37] <agliodbs> sprink: is that a joke?
[12:37] <sprink> looksaus. thats good
[12:37] <sprink> agliodbs. no.
[12:38] <agliodbs> one's a .org and the other is commercial
[12:38] <mwe> what's LTS?
[12:38] <gnomefreak> maccam94: edgy will not be LTS there is no version that is gonna be LTS except dapper atm
[12:38] <looksaus> mwe, Long Time Support
[12:38] <gnomefreak> mwe: long term support
[12:38] <looksaus> 3 years desktop, 5 years server
[12:38] <mwe> oh
[12:38] <sprink> agliodbs. why did you ask if you already knew the answer?
[12:38] <k1gwb> I though LTS was Linux Terminal Server :-P
[12:38] <sanmarcos> cica, anywhere
[12:39] <agliodbs> sprink: no, I mean why does ubuntu have both a .org and a commercial booth?
[12:39] <cica> as in: ./ bittorrent &
[12:39] <pirast> where are the ubuntu releasenotes stored on an ubuntu installation?
[12:39] <Ubuntu_noob> Thats cool Samba downloads the package when u activate it in Ubuntu
[12:39] <sprink> agliodbs. I didn't know they did
[12:39] <outonbond> ls
[12:39] <cica> sanmarcos: do I need to run it as root using ./bittorrent & ?
[12:39] <maccam94> gnomefreak: The Ubuntu team releases a fresh Ubuntu every six months. It includes the latest kernel, X, Gnome and other key applications, and is supported with security updates for 18 months. --ubuntu.com
[12:39] <sanmarcos> cica, never run anything as root
[12:40] <gnomefreak> maccam94: yes i know this
[12:40] <cica> sanmarcos:  sorrie... newbie. Can you please further advise?
[12:40] <maccam94> gnomefreak: so you're sure edgy eft will not be LTS? it sounds kind of vague, but it seems to say every new version will have LTS
[12:40] <gnomefreak> maccam94: you asked about LTS after dapper and there are no plans for it
[12:40] <sanmarcos> cica, never run anything as root
[12:40] <Boj> Can someone help me with this error when trying to run scorched3d?
[12:40] <wwallace_lap> Piolon: que onda?
[12:40] <gnomefreak> maccam94: yes i am
[12:40] <muaddib> Also can anyone recommend a PCIx IDE controller that is supported under linux
[12:40] <gnomefreak> maccam94: i am very sure of it
[12:40] <maccam94> gnomefreak: ok, thanks for the info
[12:40] <peace-keeper> plz how i get the "strings" command, in what package could that be ?
[12:40] <looksaus> ah, ubotu , welcome back!
[12:40] <cica> sanmarcos: yes I've got that bit...
[12:41] <looksaus> peace-keeper, apt-cache search strings
[12:41] <cica> sanmarcos: as normal user then is it ./bittorrent & ?
[12:41] <sanmarcos> cica, no need for &, that is if you want to send the client into the background
[12:41] <looksaus> peace-keeper, sorry, that gives you quite a bit of packages
[12:41] <gnomefreak> looksaus: hes still down
[12:41] <sanmarcos> cica, you can bring it back with fg, but oyu dont want that with a bt client
[12:42] <looksaus> gnomefreak, oh, pity
[12:42] <peace-keeper> yeah, i dont think there is any package that contains that
[12:42] <cica> sanmarcos: why not with a bt client ?
[12:42] <sanmarcos> cica, because it is an interactive app
[12:42] <Seveas> looksaus, gnomefreak: he's working again, rest assured ;)
[12:42] <sanmarcos> cica, you dont want gui or interactive apps in the background
[12:42] <gnomefreak> i see
[12:43] <stinerman> i've got strings on my box, but don't know how i got it :-)
[12:43] <phoenix_> hi
[12:43] <gnomefreak> Seveas: he was lagging thats all it was ty
[12:43] <cica> sanmarcos: I see... Why should I not run anything as root btw?
[12:43] <peace-keeper> strings is a standard gnu utility.. quite amazing that ubuntu doesnt have it
[12:43] <nny_> ok hitting a wall here.. i am tyring to follow the nvidia how to, and no matter what i do, apt wants to install nvidia-kernel-common...
[12:43] <Seveas> peace-keeper, it's in the binutils package
[12:43] <phoenix_> who wants to help a *nix newb!!! :D
[12:43] <peace-keeper> ah
[12:43] <nny_> even for none graphics related packages
[12:43] <nny_> help!
[12:43] <BHSPitMonkey> does ANYONE know when the repos will get an up-to-date firefox??
[12:43] <wwallace_lap> is ubuntu better than kanotix?
[12:43] <Seveas> BHSPitMonkey, when it's finished...
[12:43] <maccam94> gnomefreak: ah so LTS is actually longer than 18 months...? http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases seems to make it pretty clear that every release will have 18 months of support
[12:44] <Seveas> BHSPitMonkey, it's not like the developers aren't doing anything...
[12:44] <looksaus> phoenix_, ask, don't ask to ask
[12:44] <gnomefreak> maccam94: 3 years desktop 5 years server
[12:44] <mwe> I'm building a minimal rescue system for a usb pen. wouldn't it make sense to no include cron?
[12:44] <sanmarcos> cica, security risks
[12:44] <peace-keeper> thx seveas
[12:44] <bbrazil> mwe: cron wouldn't be needed
[12:44] <looksaus> Seveas, merci hee maat
[12:44] <sanmarcos> cica, if the app you are running is compromised, then they have root access. Then you are pretty much in the oven, hosed, you might as well pack it in
[12:44] <cica> sanmarcos: I see :-). Advise taken
[12:44] <mwe> bbrazil: that's what I thought
[12:44] <bbrazil> mwe: you can probably skimp on syslogd too
[12:44] <gnomefreak> BHSPitMonkey: firefox 1.5.0.25 will be in dapper dapper might not get 2.0 even after release
[12:44] <maccam94> gnomefreak: ah ok. besides the longer support term are there any other differences?
[12:45] <gnomefreak> 1.5.0.5
[12:45] <mwe> bbrazil: yes
[12:45] <gnomefreak> maccam94: just updatesopatches
[12:45] <maccam94> gnomefreak: (between LTS and regular)
[12:45] <nny_> anyone know how to fix the forementioned problem i have?
[12:45] <gnomefreak> maccam94: join #ubuntu-offtopic for this please
[12:45] <BHSPitMonkey> gnomefreak, well 1.5.0.5 crashes for me all the time.
[12:45] <tuxtux> notte
[12:45] <eimajenthat>  hi, can I hotswap my pcmcia wireless card in xubuntu?
[12:45] <cica> sanmarcos: so to start bttorrent: /usr/share/bittorrent ?
[12:45] <Piolon> help me please
[12:45] <BHSPitMonkey> firefox's people told me I need to update
[12:45] <Piolon> http://vhcs.net/new/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=6235&forum=21
[12:45] <gnomefreak> BHSPitMonkey: on what? when doing what?
[12:46] <BHSPitMonkey> flash video.
[12:46] <BHSPitMonkey> the videos themselves work
[12:46] <sahasrara> full room
[12:46] <gnomefreak> BHSPitMonkey: firefox people dont know this is ubuntu/firefox you are running
[12:46] <eternaljoy> how can I get poker games to run on Ubuntu? they are all poker.exe type files, and WINE doesnt run them! any ideas anyone?
[12:46] <Piolon> help with VHCS2 in Ubuntu please ???
[12:46] <BHSPitMonkey> gnomefreak, yeah, they do.
[12:46] <gnomefreak> BHSPitMonkey: you need a working flash polugin
[12:46] <eternaljoy> gnomefreak: any ideas?
[12:46] <stinerman> eternaljoy: wine isn't perfect by a long shot
[12:46] <sanmarcos> cica, i suggets checking out help.ubunut.com
[12:46] <phoenix_> fair enough, i'm setting up a webserver for the first time. everyone says a LAMP server is the best way to go. i'm pretty good with mac and pc but a total newb at *nix. i think what i need to do is use the terminal to change a few permissions to get this php program i want to run working. but i'm assuming it's protected for a reason so i might be doing something wrong
[12:46] <thybo> how do you clean synaptic cache?
[12:47] <gnomefreak> eternaljoy: no
[12:47] <nny_> hello.. again, apt is stuck on trying to install a package i don't want, how do i 86 it?
[12:47] <stinerman> might want to use the winehq packages rather than what is in universe
[12:47] <cica> sanmarcos: yeah you probably right. thanks
[12:47] <BHSPitMonkey> gnomefreak, the flash videos work flawlessly, but for some reason, the browser will freeze (Seemingly with no trigger) when a page is open that contains a video
[12:47] <gnomefreak> BHSPitMonkey: ubuntu changes firefox
[12:47] <BHSPitMonkey> I'm aware of ubuntu's firefox patch.
[12:47] <zephyer> hi gotta quick question on xerver
[12:47] <eimajenthat> How do I hotswap my pcmcia wireless card in ubuntu or xubuntu?
[12:47] <gnomefreak> BHSPitMonkey: sounds more like a flash issue than firefox issue
[12:47] <zephyer> xserver
[12:47] <mwe> is ubuntu-minimal an absolute minimal functional system?
[12:47] <Ych> what does ubuntu do with firefox?
[12:48] <mwe> Ych: do with it?
[12:48] <sahasrara> i could've sworn this room only had one other person in it last night
[12:48] <BHSPitMonkey> Ych, among other things, it disables internal updates...
[12:48] <gnomefreak> mwe: yeah kind of
[12:48] <Ych> hmm
[12:48] <zephyer> i give the command startx n and i get fatal IO error 104
[12:48] <Ych> why?
[12:48] <Piolon> Help with MX Record please
[12:48] <BHSPitMonkey> Ych, so that can all be managed with apt.
[12:48] <Ych> oh ok
[12:49] <stinerman> mwe: minimal is a meta-package that specifies what a "minimal" ubuntu system should have
[12:49] <nny_> sigh anyone?
[12:49] <stinerman> it isn't necessary to keep though
[12:49] <BHSPitMonkey> gnomefreak, so, did you say earlier there's some principle behind staying at 1.5.0.5? it's not even a time issue?
[12:49] <nny_> my laptop hs been running only windows for a week
[12:49] <mwe> stinerman: Yeah I figured. it's includes at lot of non essential stuff though
[12:49] <gnomefreak> BHSPitMonkey: btw there are alot of flash issues im seeing
[12:49] <peace-keeper> aaahhhh where is my lynx... ubuntu forgets to install the most important packages
[12:49] <BHSPitMonkey> gnomefreak, never had problems before 1.5.0.5
[12:49] <mwe> stinerman: vim wpasupplicant and what not
[12:49] <wims> whats the name of the util that outputs mouse movement and button clicking and so on ?
[12:50] <BHSPitMonkey> peace-keeper, apt-get isn't that hard to use :)
[12:50] <gnomefreak> BHSPitMonkey: if its added to dapper it will be a while they just decided to put 2.0 in edgy so dont expect to see ff 2.0 in dapper for a while
[12:50] <peace-keeper> :D
[12:50] <stinerman> mwe: wpasupplicant?  i wouldn't think so
[12:50] <looksaus> peace-keeper, you actually use lynx?
[12:50] <sahasrara> can i get online with an ethernet card, using dialup?
[12:50] <gnomefreak> oh and its not installing in edgy atm ;)
[12:50] <BHSPitMonkey> gnomefreak, so they're going to ignore 1.5.0.6?
[12:50] <mwe> stinerman: it does. apt-cache show ubuntu-minimal and you'll see
[12:50] <Piolon> Help with VHCS 2??
[12:51] <asshead> how can i fix being unable to start an x window????? I can login to $
[12:51] <looksaus> I rather like "links", but "lynx"
[12:51] <stinerman> mwe: correct ... wow
[12:51] <cica> sanmarcos: do you know much about Cisco VPN's with Ubuntu ?
[12:51] <looksaus> cica, I could try to look up a few things
[12:51] <stinerman> nny: usually apt will install things for a good reason; why are you so sure you don't need it?
[12:51] <jshadow> wims: xev
[12:51] <asshead> i cant get ubuntu to give startx
[12:51] <asshead> i get errors
[12:51] <stinerman> nny_: usually apt will install things for a good reason; why are you so sure you don't need it?
[12:51] <gnomefreak> BHSPitMonkey: there was talk on that and i am assuming they are either waiting or not gonna add it do to issues
[12:51] <gnomefreak> asshead: change your nick
[12:52] <looksaus> and see if that gets us somewhere
[12:52] <nny_> stinerman no it doesnt
[12:52] <BHSPitMonkey> agreed ^
[12:52] <asshead> I transfered my hard drive to a new system
[12:52] <looksaus> but not for too long I'm afraid
[12:52] <nny_> stinerman thats a useless response
[12:52] <peace-keeper> yeah i use lynx for simple things such as "Readme.htm"
[12:52] <peace-keeper> lynx is good
[12:52] <wims> jshadow,  thanks
[12:52] <jshadow> no prob
[12:52] <gnomefreak> .unop
[12:52] <nny_> stinerman i am following a howto on ubuntu wiki, and the first thing it says is to 86 all nvidia stuff
[12:52] <nny_> !nvidia
[12:52] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:53] <Ubuntu_noob> !airlink wireless
[12:53] <ubotu> I know nothing about airlink wireless - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:53] <sahasrara> if i plan to get a router to use as a firewall later, shouldn't i avoid buying an external modem right now?
[12:53] <jshadow> Anyone using via drivers on edgy? I see in malone it's pretty screwed up but I was curious if anyone has gotten it going
[12:53] <sanmarcos> cica, no
[12:53] <gnomefreak> jshadow: try asking in #ubuntu+1
[12:54] <sahasrara> i guess either way i'm gonna spend the same money
[12:54] <sahasrara> is there a networking ubuntu room?
[12:54] <gnomefreak> edgy questions dont belong in this channel
[12:54] <jshadow> ah, I was trying edgy and found no one there :p
[12:54] <wjpx> Hi - I installed 6.06 lts about a month ago and it is terriffic - best desktop yet - I noticed there is a new version 6.0.6.1 available - do the update system automatically update to that version or do I have to perform some type of manual update
[12:54] <Ubuntu_noob> !networking
[12:54] <ubotu> I know nothing about networking - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:54] <stinerman> nny_: i don't have an nvidia card so i might not be too helpful;  are you using the driver from the repos or from the nvidia website?
[12:54] <Ubuntu_noob> !wifi
[12:54] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[12:54] <OneTruth> sahasrara: what are you looking for?
[12:54] <cica> looksaus: I'm not entirely sure it's a VPN issue as the error I'm getting is: Privilege Separation: unable to drop privileges.
[12:54] <cica> The application was unable to communicate with the VPN sub-system.
[12:55] <poidog> i cant get ubuntu to give startx i get errors
[12:55] <looksaus> cica, I found some useful info
[12:55] <sahasrara> i'm just trying to plot out in what order to buy networking equipment for my box, for now i need to decide on a linux compatible modem so i can get kubuntu working
[12:55] <sahasrara> i mean so i can get kubuntu online
[12:55] <looksaus> you have vpnc installed?
[12:55] <OneTruth> sahasrara: why do you need a modem? You are using dial-up?
[12:56] <cica> looksaus: yeah ?
[12:56] <sahasrara> i just realized that down the line i'm gonna want to set up a hardware firewall too.... OneTruth: yes i'm using dialup
[12:56] <Crooper> lock,stock and two smoking barrels... great movie
[12:56] <poidog> any idea where to begin fixing ubuntu to launch into desktop using startx?
[12:56] <wjpx> Anyone ??? - I installed 6.06 lts about a month ago and it is terriffic - best desktop yet - I noticed there is a new version 6.0.6.1 available - do the update system automatically update to that version or do I have to perform some type of manual update
[12:56] <dougsko> Crooper: yeah it is
[12:56] <phoenix_> anyone familiar with the LAMP distro
[12:56] <OneTruth> sahasrara: a hardware firewall on Dial-Up?
[12:56] <Crooper> that and snatch
[12:56] <dougsko> phoenix_: i installed the server edition, was that the same thing?
[12:56] <cica> looksaus: where'd you find it?
[12:56] <looksaus> can you post the exact output of sudo vpnc (assuming the connection is already configured in /etc/vpnc.conf)
[12:57] <gnomefreak> wjpx: just sudo apt-get update && sudoa pt-get upgrade
[12:57] <looksaus> cica, sorry, it is in Dutch
[12:57] <Flannel> phoenix_: LAMP isn't a distro
[12:57] <eric__> Hi.  I'm trying to get GnuCash to run on my x86 ubuntu setup.
[12:57] <gnomefreak> spell it the right way though please
[12:57] <OneTruth> sahasrara: I don't know if it exists but I guess you need a firewall that has a built in modem
[12:57] <sahasrara> :) not necessary then? (i don't know anything about networking really)
[12:57] <looksaus> (my native language)
[12:57] <eric__>  I install the package, but no icon appears under Applications add/remove.
[12:57] <looksaus> http://www.vtk.ugent.be/wvs/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu@UGent#vpnc
[12:57] <cica> looksaus: it's not vpnc I'm using :-(
[12:57] <OneTruth> sahasrara: What are you using your computer for?
[12:57] <wjpx> thanks gnomefreak
[12:57] <eric__> Attempts to launch GnuCash via the terminal give me an error: Gtk-Warning **: cannot open display:
[12:57] <looksaus> cica, I know
[12:57] <dougsko> eric__: use synaptic to manage your packages
[12:57] <OneTruth> sahasrara: Just normal desktop usage or is it a serveR?
[12:57] <gnomefreak> !lamp > phoenix_
[12:57] <nny_> gD stupid aptitude
[12:57] <phoenix_> yeah, when you install it is gives you an option to install the LAMP package. it comes with apache, mysql, and php already installed.
[12:57] <poidog> i get the error "no screens found"
[12:57] <looksaus> but this should also be able to connect to this Cisco stuff
[12:57] <nny_> sigh
[12:57] <sahasrara> normal desktop usage
[12:57] <nny_> i ahte this
[12:58] <eric__> Is there a ridiculously simple explanation for why I can't make GnuCash go?
[12:58] <sahasrara> isn't a router good for added security?
[12:58] <nny_> why do i have to have restricte dmodules and kernel common nvidia?? I don't want it. it screws up my video card
[12:58] <nny_> but i can'
[12:58] <OneTruth> sahasrara: then no you don't need a hardware firewall. Linux can handle firewall responsibilities
[12:58] <dougsko> phoenix_: ok, are you having a problem?
[12:58] <Awesome-o2000> my system is running 1000x faster on this motherboard
[12:58] <nny_> t update my kernel without it
[12:58] <phoenix_> tis what i meant gnome, sorry
[12:58] <OneTruth> sahasrara: you just need a Modem
[12:58] <Flannel> phoenix_: yeah, thats the server edition, all it does is pre-install, it'd be the same as installing it yourself, once it'sinstalled, no special instructions or anything.
[12:58] <Awesome-o2000> ubuntu is so cool, I didnt even have to reinstall
[12:58] <cica> looksaus: I can't post the output of that
[12:58] <Awesome-o2000> but wow is the intel mobo better than the via
[12:58] <sahasrara> oh
[12:58] <sahasrara> ok
[12:58] <looksaus> cica, to pastebin.org
[12:58] <looksaus> ...
[12:58] <cica> looksaus: as I ain't using it
[12:59] <Awesome-o2000> its like having a whole new system
[12:59] <looksaus> ah, why not try that?N
[12:59] <stinerman> nny_: yes, restricted modules is required for a kernel upgrade ... just the way it is
[12:59] <poidog> does anyone see my test here?
[12:59] <OneTruth> sahasrara: I beleive ubuntu has a built in firewall
[12:59] <poidog> text
[12:59] <OneTruth> !firewall
[12:59] <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)
[12:59] <eric__> Little help?
[12:59] <sahasrara> OneTruth: well i read that a dual pc modem was a good way to go
[12:59] <gnomefreak> poidog: yes we see you typing
[12:59] <looksaus> if the other one doesn't work anyway
[12:59] <sahasrara> ubotu: i see
[12:59] <ubotu> I know nothing about i see - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:59] <Awesome-o2000> shorewall eh? ive never messed with it but ive heard its really good
[12:59] <OneTruth> sahasrara: a dual modem?
[12:59] <poidog> awesome any idea how to solve my problem?
[12:59] <nny_> stinerman ok so how do i install the nvidia binary without having the interference from nvidia-kernel-common ?
[12:59] <OneTruth> sahasrara: im not sure what you mean by that
[12:59] <phoenix_> yeah, for starters how do i change permissions to a folder and subfolders
[01:00] <dougsko> phoenix_: chmod
[01:00] <sahasrara> OneTruth: an external ethernet modem
[01:00] <OneTruth> phoenix_:  chmod
[01:00] <cica> looksaus: noooo... batteries gonna die in about 2 mins and I'm nowhere a socket :-(
[01:00] <dougsko> phoenix_: chmod -r is recursive  i think

[01:00] <sahasrara> i gotta brb pizza's here
[01:00] <_andrej_> hi
[01:00] <OneTruth> hbrinkm1:  Stop it
[01:00] <nny_> hbrinkm1 noob, stop spamming
[01:00] <Flannel> !paste > hbrinkm1
[01:00] <looksaus> hbrinkm1, please use pastebin.org
[01:00] <sahasrara> OneTruth: thank you, bbl
[01:00] <cica> looksaus: thanks for trying to help out with this... by the way where would you advise I look and I'll try again
[01:00] <eimajenthat> my wireless card is only sometimes recognized at boot.  How do I tell the system it's there after I'm already booted?
[01:01] <OneTruth> sahasrara: external and internal will have the same quality. You just need to find one that is supported in ubuntu
[01:01] <nny_> bad enough this channel is so crowded it's hard to get a response in here
[01:01] <OneTruth> sahasrara: Np
[01:01] <phoenix_> thanks, i did that through the terminal but then i check the file using the GUI and it still shows up as protected
[01:01] <looksaus> cica, this information in Dutch is really nice
[01:01] <poidog> how do i reconfigure x from z command prompt to detect a new video card?
[01:01] <Walzmyn> Anybody know how kuickshow is packaged on the ubuntu repos?
[01:01] <dougsko> eimajenthat: do a ifconfig -a to see it, then ifconfig ath0 up to bring it up
[01:01] <looksaus> but that won't help you a lot, won't it
[01:01] <cica> looksaus: is there no English version?
[01:01] <looksaus> nope
[01:01] <dougsko> eimajenthat: if ath0 is th name of your interface
[01:01] <looksaus> looking for something
[01:01] <Flannel> Walzmyn: why shouldn't it be?
[01:01] <NemesisUK> poidog, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:02] <stinerman> nny_: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-8762.html should help
[01:02] <looksaus> but it should be quite simple: fill out this /etc/vpnc.conf config
[01:02] <Walzmyn> flannel i can't find it. I was asking if anybody knew if it was packaged inside something else
[01:02] <looksaus> then use sudo vpnc to start
[01:02] <stinerman> nny_: i'm not sure otherwise as nvidia isn't my expertise
[01:02] <looksaus> and sudo vpnc-disconnect to stop
[01:02] <dougsko> eimajenthat: if ifconfig -a doesnt show your wireless interface, you probly need to modprobe the driver
[01:02] <Flannel> Walzmyn: it's under that name, um, might be in universe, lets check
[01:02] <dougsko> eimajenthat: google that
[01:02] <Flannel> !info kuickshow
[01:02] <ubotu> Package kuickshow does not exist in dapper
[01:02] <cica> looksaus: ok... I'll try that. cheers mare
[01:02] <JackONeill> will "user,auto,fmask=0111,dmask=0000" on my fat32 mean everyone has write/read access?
[01:02] <thybo>  anyone got a healthy source i can add to get some codec packs?
[01:03] <looksaus> cica, bye
[01:03] <JackONeill> the wiki isn't clear
[01:03] <Walzmyn> flannel great, universe, multiverse, weirdverse, I do not get these nameing schemes
[01:03] <cica> looksaus: bye bye
[01:03] <eimajenthat> dougsko, ath0 is the name of my interface when it's working.  I do ifconfig -a but it doesn't show me ath0
[01:03] <Flannel> Walzmyn: er, alright.  Maybe it's not in dapper, it's in breezy though, under kuickshow.
[01:03] <Flannel> !tell Walzmyn about repositories
[01:03] <Flannel> Walzmyn: read the first link, it explains them
[01:03] <thybo> ath 0 is for atheros
[01:03] <thybo> its the brand of the wifi chip
[01:03] <Walzmyn> flannel what first link?
[01:03] <dougsko> eimajenthat: ok...that means you need to do a modprobe on the driver
[01:03] <alienseer23> does anybody know of a program for handling wdb (worksdatabase) files?
[01:03] <Flannel> Walzmyn: the one ubotu sent you
[01:03] <thybo> for repositories
[01:03] <Flannel> Walzmyn: components, actually.
[01:04] <JackONeill> will "user,auto,fmask=0111,dmask=0000" on my fat32 mean everyone has write/read access?... the ubuntu wiki wasn't too clear on if it was rw or r
[01:04] <Walzmyn> flannel yeah, I read that, it dind't make sence
[01:04] <Walzmyn> so, why's kquickshow not in breezy?
[01:04] <eimajenthat> dougsko, I tried modprobe ath_pci and modprobe ath0.  The first doesn't give an error, but doesn't show any change.  The second gives not found.
[01:04] <looksaus> alienseer23, subject the files to the "file" utility first
[01:04] <stinerman> Jack0Neill: that ill give everyone rw access, yes
[01:04] <dougsko> so a modprobe -l
[01:04] <Walzmyn> err, not in dapper but in breezy?
[01:04] <poidog> nice thank you so much for your help all hail ubuntu
[01:04] <dougsko> *do
[01:04] <eimajenthat> dougsko, can I modprobe something else?
[01:05] <dougsko> eimajenthat: type, modprobe -l
[01:05] <looksaus> hm, I mean, try to find out the exact version of wdb stuff
[01:05] <alienseer23> looksaus, what or where is the "file" utility?
[01:05] <dougsko> eimajenthat: see what that says
[01:05] <Flannel> Walzmyn: kuickshow is in breezy.  not in dapper, or at least, I can't find it.
[01:05] <dougsko> eimajenthat: does it say anything about aht_pci?
[01:05] <looksaus> alienseer23, I know there is a set of mdb utilities
[01:05] <eimajenthat> dougsko, a lot
[01:05] <looksaus> alienseer23, sorry, I'm not being very clear here
[01:05] <Ubuntu_noob> What is linux useful for
[01:05] <Ubuntu_noob> ?
[01:05] <thybo> lol
[01:05] <Flannel> Ubuntu_noob: anything computers are useful for
[01:05] <thybo> addicting :d
[01:05] <__mikem> killing microsoft
[01:06] <alienseer23> looksaus, it's all good, just tell me how to find them :)
[01:06] <thybo> so about the repositories to get the codecs... anyone?:d
[01:06] <dougsko> eimajenthat: ok, if theres too much info to read, then just do, modprobe -l|grep ath_pci
[01:06] <Stormx2> where is the stuff I set with ulimit stored?
[01:06] <looksaus> alienseer23, are these files confidential?
[01:06] <sahasrara> ok i'm back
[01:06] <looksaus> if not, maybe you could put one online
[01:06] <Ubuntu_noob> on ubuntu can i start a Game server?
[01:06] <looksaus> that would be easier for me
[01:06] <Flannel> Ubuntu_noob: yep
[01:06] <__mikem> !apache
[01:06] <ubotu> lamp is a shortcut for Linux-Apache-Mysql-{PHP,Perl,Python}. To setup a LAMP server on Ubuntu, install the packages libapache2-mod-php5, php5-mysql, and mysql-server-5.0. You can also choose 'install a LAMP server' from the server install cd boot menu. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[01:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Ubuntu_noob: Avoiding virii, adware, spyware
[01:06] <dougsko> thybo: cant you just use the regular universe, multiverse, etc?
[01:07] <eimajenthat> dougsko, two things
[01:07] <alienseer23> looksaus, no, just a few databases I threw together, I would remake them, but the lists are quite long
[01:07] <eimajenthat> /lib/modules/2.6.15-26-686/madwifi-ng/new_ath_pci.ko
[01:07] <eimajenthat> /lib/modules/2.6.15-26-686/madwifi/ath_pci.ko
[01:07] <thybo> what is universe multiverse etc?
[01:07] <sahasrara> don't you guys think there should be a master database listing all the out-of-the-box modems (or the level of configuring) compatible with ubuntu (and its various flavors)?
[01:07] <looksaus> ok, could you put one online then?
[01:07] <Ubuntu_noob> How would i go about starting a game server?
[01:07] <sahasrara> we could all add to it, or have it as a wiki
[01:07] <alienseer23> looksaus, what "file" utility were you referring to?
[01:07] <dougsko> thybo: hold on, let me find a page
[01:07] <Flannel> Ubuntu_noob: you'd have to decide which game you want to have a server for
[01:07] <thybo> dougsko:thx
[01:07] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara:  having a modem problem?
[01:07] <OneTruth> Ubuntu_noob: depends on the game...
[01:08] <Ubuntu_noob> i know which game
[01:08] <looksaus> alienseer23, just something to determine the exact file type
[01:08] <Flannel> Ubuntu_noob: right, which one is it
[01:08] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: I just got my xircom working
[01:08] <alienseer23> .wdb
[01:08] <sahasrara> Jack_Sparrow: not yet, just saying, from the many hours i've researched the modem thing, that may have helped
[01:08] <looksaus> a diagnostic tool that doesn't really help you forward
[01:08] <sahasrara> Jack_Sparrow: i see
[01:08] <Ubuntu_noob> Call of Duty 2
[01:08] <alienseer23> looksaus, they are .wdb files
[01:08] <garryF> Useful? sure. Useful for loading up those url's you were too afraid to try because you thought they might be windows virus laden. Useful for getting applications open before you forget what you were going to do with it. Useful for learning about your computer than how to just point click, drag, drop and spellcheck.
[01:08] <OneTruth> what is the www user called in ubuntu?
[01:08] <Flannel> OneTruth: www-data
[01:08] <poidog> how would I change screen resolution?
[01:08] <OneTruth> Flannel: thx
[01:08] <Flannel> OneTruth: but, it's configurable
[01:09] <eimajenthat> dougsko, so the module is loaded, the device shows in lspci, but the interface isn't there, what do I do?
[01:09] <looksaus> OneTruth, you could also find out by looking at the httpd processes
[01:09] <dougsko> thybo: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_Multimedia_Codecs
[01:09] <_andrej_> anyone here who could help me with usb-bluetooth and phones?:)
[01:09] <rx_> hi. ive a big problem here. im using gnome and i try to play mp3 with xmms, rythmbox and totem, the songs are played but i hear an annoying noise as well. sadly, mp3 dont play at all with kde apps (amarok...)... is the problem related to the mixer? soundsystem? the codecs?
[01:09] <thybo> dougsko thanks a lot :d
[01:09] <looksaus> alienseer23, is exporting from works an option?
[01:09] <sahasrara> i just think that'd be a much more efficient way to help newcomers get online
[01:09] <dougsko> thybo: np
[01:09] <alienseer23> come again? you mean exporting to a different file type?
[01:10] <looksaus> (works -> csv, then import into OOo Base, or some SQL database
[01:10] <sahasrara> rather than reinventing the wheel and having to look in a million places and risk money trying modems
[01:10] <garryF> sounds like amixer is the issue. I've cured that by messing with alsamixer.
[01:10] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: If you go to !hardware they dont even have a modem section
[01:10] <_andrej_> i just can't pair my 6230i and my bt-usb dongle
[01:10] <looksaus> alienseer23, yes, to some simple comma separate value thing
  Call Of Duty 2 is the game
[01:10] <sahasrara> which may be necessary anyway... Jack_Sparrow: exactly! i was shocked
[01:10] <dougsko> eimajenthat: dude, wireless cards are the biggest pain in the dik on earth. i really dont have much else to suggest
[01:10] <alienseer23> looksaus, I am trying to refrain from booting to my windows partition unless absolutely necessary
[01:10] <looksaus> just to get it out of this proprietary container that wdb is
[01:10] <eimajenthat> sahasrara, I see what you're saying, but there are so many modems out there.  Meanwhile, dial-up is going away.  In a few years no one will use it.
[01:11] <lufis> Hi. I'm currently trying to run a Ubuntu LiveCD from a pretty old Compaq laptop... 60 MB of memory, 6 gig HD, 700 mhz pentrium 3... It looks like it's working until it goes to a black screen with a blinking cursor... is it just slow or is it not working?
[01:11] <eimajenthat> dougsko, thanks for trying
[01:11] <phoenix_> anyone familiar with webmin?
[01:11] <rx_> is there a gui to config alsa? except the curse one?
[01:11] <alienseer23> looksaus, will works do that for me?
[01:11] <looksaus> alienseer23, I can understand that... haven't booted into windows for the last 6-7 years
[01:11] <eimajenthat> phoenix_, a little
[01:11] <dougsko> eimajenthat: this site might have some useful info: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper
[01:11] <looksaus> works should probably be able to do that for you
[01:11] <eimajenthat> dougsko, thx
[01:11] <dougsko> eimajenthat: sure thing
[01:12] <sahasrara> then i need to suggest that... the only thing is are there other issues that would make a modem compatibility database useless?
[01:12] <Jack_Sparrow> eimajenthat: many still use them for portability, yahoo dsl includes a dial-up
[01:12] <sahasrara> i mean other individual compatibility factors?
[01:12] <alienseer23> looksaus, good thing that, I am just getting into Linux/Ubuntu, I like it alot more than the hell of windows, but there are few things I need from it that I just can't seem to find
[01:12] <Ubuntu_noob> so does my verizon DSL
[01:12] <alienseer23> one of which being .wdb file compatability
[01:12] <Walzmyn> damn. I can't get kuickshow to install off breezy 'cause of missing dependancies
[01:13] <Stork> how can i use a different gcc version to compile with?
[01:13] <sahasrara> for now, i had narrowed my modem search down to the amigo ame-ca95, or the bestdata 56sx92
[01:13] <alienseer23> another being a nero like burning program, and another being something like alcohol or daemon (for emulation and virtual drive loading)
[01:13] <sahasrara> both externals
[01:13] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: real hardware modems all work well, especially externals that plug into a com port, the big problem is lappy and pcmcia, forget the internal MS junky winmodems
[01:13] <Flannel> Ubuntu_noob: You'd have to find server software for it,
[01:13] <johnnowak> hello all. anyone here using ubuntu on ppc32? i'm wondering if 3D acceleration is working (in any form) for the radeon 9700 mobility (rv 350).
[01:14] <Ubuntu_noob> do i need to install special software to burn DVD/RIP them also?
[01:14] <alienseer23> I know I can use wine, but I would like to keep the windows programs away from my ubuntu install
[01:14] <thybo> dougsko gives me this error
[01:14] <thybo> Package gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[01:14] <thybo> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[01:14] <thybo> is only available from another source
[01:14] <thybo> E: Package gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg has no installation candidate
[01:14] <OneTruth> what is the best way to allow www-data to read/write all files in a directory?
[01:14] <sahasrara> Jack_Sparrow: then why do i find desperate posts online of ppl who can't get supposedly-compatible modems to work? user incompetency?
[01:14] <dougsko> alienseer23: one cool thing with linux is that you dont need something like daemon tools to mount a cd image, you can just mount it like any other drive
[01:14] <X-Hacker> confidential
[01:14] <looksaus> alienseer23, this problem is one of open standards
[01:14] <Flannel> OneTruth: which directory?
[01:14] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: what kind of modem are you needing
[01:14] <looksaus> it's a one time pain
[01:14] <sahasrara> maybe i should trust that if i get a controller-based modem, one way or another i'll get it to work
[01:14] <alienseer23> looksaus, I can mount an image like a drive?"?
[01:15] <alienseer23> really!?
[01:15] <eimajenthat> Jack_Sparrow, still, it's a technology that is becoming less popular.  As for portability, wifi and cat5 are available at more locations.  Maybe I'm being regional, though.  I live in a city with a lot of tech savvy people.  Other places I've been are a few years behind.
[01:15] <OneTruth> Flannel:  a Wiki web directory
[01:15] <Aneglus> hello ubuntu comm :)
[01:15] <Stork> how can i use a different gcc version to compile with?
[01:15] <looksaus> alienseer23, ?
[01:15] <dougsko> thybo: did you edit your /etc/apt/sources.list to add the extra repos?
[01:15] <OneTruth> Flannel: call twiki in my www folder
[01:15] <alienseer23> oops, it was someone else:)
[01:15] <sahasrara> Jack_Sparrow: i just need anything that works, right now i have a usr winmodem that will never work so i just need a controller-based one but i want it cheap
[01:15] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: I use a modem that says ONLY windows compatible, auto detected and works fine.
[01:15] <sahasrara> cheap just in case it won't work
[01:15] <alienseer23> dougsko, I can mount an image like a drive?!?! really!?!?!
[01:15] <gpfreitas> Hi all... I am trying to install Dapper here, but X does not work with this live-cd. It's strange, because the Breezy live-cd worked like a charm...
 How would i start a Call of Duty 2 server on my Ubuntu Machine?
[01:15] <Piolon> help with VHCS2?
[01:15] <dooglus> alienseer23: mount -o loop -t iso9660 file.iso /media/iso
[01:15] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: is this desktop or lappy
[01:15] <dougsko> thybo: you need multiverse, universe, main, restricted
[01:15] <sahasrara> Jack_Sparrow: wow...
[01:15] <Flannel> OneTruth: er, if it's in www, you could just chmod it so www-data could see it.  Either by adding www-data to the group, or just chmod 775 or whatnot
[01:15] <dougsko> alienseer23: yup
[01:16] <jdps> Hi, I have an external hard drive, i reformatted it with gparted, now i go into it and try and add files or create folders....and it wont let me. How do i set it to where i can have rw access?
[01:16] <Flannel> Ubuntu_noob: you'd have to find the software and install it, just like anything else.
[01:16] <sahasrara> Jack_Sparrow: desktop p2
[01:16] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[01:16] <Ubuntu_noob> ok but do i need to use the linux source?
[01:16] <Flannel> Ubuntu_noob: there is a linux CoD2 server, so it is possible.
[01:16] <dooglus> alienseer23: you probably don't need the -t iso9660, and probably do need sudo, so:  "sudo mount file.iso /mount/point"
[01:16] <dougsko> alienseer23: read the man page for mount
[01:16] <OneTruth> Flannel: how do I add www-data to the group?
[01:16] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: do you have an available com port on the back.. com 1 or 2
[01:16] <Ubuntu_noob> ok
[01:16] <Larsson-Sweden> Is it possible to dock apps like gaim, amsn and Opera in Enlightenment?
[01:16] <sahasrara> Jack_Sparrow: yes, one serial port next to the printer port
[01:17] <Flannel> OneTruth: you'd set the group as www-data, via chown
[01:17] <Jack_Sparrow> one sec
[01:17] <Aneglus> Larsson-Sweden, it depends of your program
[01:17] <sahasrara> Jack_Sparrow: and 4 pci slots too
[01:17] <Aneglus> La_PaRCa, not enlightenment
[01:17] <OneTruth> Flannel: ok, and then after installation i need to make some files inaccessible by everyone, how would I do that?
[01:17] <gpfreitas> if anyone could point me out some documentation about this problem, I would be very grateful...
[01:17] <thybo> dougsko no how do you do that?
[01:17] <thybo> what sources do i add?
[01:18] <Larsson-Sweden> Aneglus, what do you mean?
[01:18] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: give me one minute... phone call
[01:18] <Stork> how can i use a different gcc version to compile with?
[01:18] <dougsko> thybo: there was a link right in the instructions i gave you that explained it
[01:18] <sahasrara> Jack_Sparrow: np
[01:18] <MatthewV> gpfreitas, you would have been dropped to a command line, right?
[01:18] <alienseer23> dougsko, ok... sudo mount (filename).iso /media/iso     I have to add iso to my media folder, or will it do it automatically?
[01:18] <dougsko> thybo: you gotta meet me half way here
[01:18] <MatthewV> gpfreitas, try running sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:19] <thybo> dougsko sorry im noobing you
[01:19] <dougsko> alienseer23: that will mount the disk to /media/iso
[01:19] <Ubuntu_noob> Is there a version of AIM outside of GAIM for ubuntu?
[01:19] <Flannel> OneTruth: by everyone?  is this from the computer? or from the web?
[01:19] <dougsko> alienseer23: to do it automatically, add an entry to /etc/fstab
[01:19] <OneTruth> Flannel:  web
[01:19] <bastian> Hi!
[01:19] <Flannel> Ubuntu_noob: there are a few other IM clients that support AIM
[01:19] <alienseer23> more for me to read up on :)
[01:19] <Stork> how can i use a different gcc version to compile with?
[01:19] <Flannel> OneTruth: you'd do that... via web stuff, htaccess or whatnot.
[01:19] <OneTruth> Flannel: I just did: chown -hR www-data:www-data twiki
[01:19] <Ubuntu_noob> But is there a version of aim as its own client?
[01:19] <dougsko> alienseer23: actually, dont do that, because that disk will proably not always be in the drive
[01:19] <bastian> This is my very first IRC-session ... have some problems with Ubuntu TFTP-Servers
[01:19] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: Airlink external model AME003  I got it at frys for $25, It will work..
[01:19] <OneTruth> Flannel:  and now permission is denied through the wbe
[01:20] <OneTruth> Flannel:  ok
[01:20] <alienseer23> no, I can do it automatically, it's fine
[01:20] <skmidry> anybody have any luck with the new intel graphics open sourced drivers?
[01:20] <gpfreitas> MatthewV: ok, but what should I expect from this command? (thanks for answering!)
[01:20] <Aneglus> Ubuntu_noob, why do you want such an application
[01:20] <Flannel> Ubuntu_noob: No, AOL hasn't released AIM for linux, as far as I'm aware
[01:20] <dougsko> alienseer23: just rin that mount command whenever you want to mount the disk. and make sure to do a "umount" before taking it out
[01:20] <bastian> Could anybody help me please or is there any dedicated channel for such problems?
[01:20] <mcphail> Stork: just install a different version and call it by name
[01:20] <dougsko> alienseer23: that goes double for usb drives
[01:20] <sahasrara> Jack_Sparrow: oh ok thank you, so you know that works specifically with ubuntu (and then kubuntu, edubuntu?)?
[01:20] <MatthewV> gpfreitas, it will run you through configuring x, so hopefully that will solve your problems
[01:20] <Flannel> bastian: you're in it
[01:20] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: It says all over it, requires windows.. but that is only for the software and support that they provide.  It is a quality hardware modem.
[01:21] <gpfreitas> MatthewV: I mean, I've run this program before... What I wanted to ask is, what is likely to be the problem?
[01:21] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: and yes I understand your frustration, I tried 10 modems that said LINUX comp, and didnt work for dodo
[01:21] <alienseer23> dougsko, so I don not need the -loop, or -t commands?
[01:21] <bastian> Fine ... in short: I'd like to run a TFTP-Server for diskless booting
[01:21] <Ubuntu_noob> Because i do not like chat clients that have multiple im clients on it because all of my list in every client have the same group names so all of them are together in i dont like that
[01:21] <bastian> The problem is, that only localhost is served but no other host in the local network
[01:21] <gpfreitas> MatthewV: or better yet, what logs should I look for further information on the problem?
[01:21] <MatthewV> gpfreitas, if breezy worked and dapper didn't? I can only guess... what sort of hardware are you running?
[01:21] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: and Mepis and Knoppix and..
[01:21] <alienseer23> dougsko, just a mount command at the iso file, aimed at media/iso ?
[01:21] <sahasrara> Jack_Sparrow: aha, that's what i meant, i'm lucky so far not to have tried any, that's why i'm so cautious
[01:21] <bastian> It's Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Server
[01:21] <MatthewV> gpfreitas, logs will be in /var/log/X11/<something>
[01:21] <dougsko> alienseer23: ive never used the -l switch, and you only need the -t switch is the regular mount command doesnt recognise the filesystem on its own
[01:22] <EvilGrin> yay
[01:22] <Aneglus> Ubuntu_noob, and gaim doesn't work correctly
[01:22] <MatthewV> gpfreitas, sorry, thats /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:22] <bastian> I've searched the web but didn't find any answer for the problem
[01:22] <Ubuntu_noob> I got 6.06 LTS Intell on a amd64 machine
[01:22] <sahasrara> Jack_Sparrow: and i'm attached to the idea of ubuntu now, so i don't want to get stuck with a modem and have to shop for a new distro to use it on
[01:22] <bastian> There are no firewall rules set, there are no restrictions to hosts set in any way
[01:22] <alienseer23> so you are telling me I can mount any number of iso files, giving them a seperate mount point in the media folder?
[01:22] <bastian> I've tried both atftp and tftpd-hta
[01:23] <Ubuntu_noob> i cant stand gain all my buddy groups in MSN Yahoo and AIM have the same names so they are all together in GAIM
[01:23] <gpfreitas> MatthewV: Thanks. Well, as for the hardware... hmmmm... It seems a little bit unreliable to me. The components are from good manufacturers, but we have some strange problems with the video card every now and then...
[01:23] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: I tried many many and way many... that said linux comp, sure they work if you compile them...
[01:23] <Aneglus> sahasrara, if you change for another distro it won t change anything...
[01:23] <sahasrara> Jack_Sparrow: so what's the model of the winmodem you said you got to work with ubuntu?
[01:23] <jicei> hello
[01:23] <bastian> Hiu
[01:23] <dougsko> Ubuntu_noob: use bitlbee and irssi
[01:23] <Jack_Sparrow> THe Xircom is not a winmodem..
[01:23] <Ubuntu_noob> Do ehat>
[01:23] <dougsko> Ubuntu_noob: its a really sweet setup
[01:23] <Ubuntu_noob> What?
[01:23] <sahasrara> Aneglus: but for some people different distros work out better for different modems (hence less time spend fiddling around)
[01:23] <dougsko> Ubuntu_noob: just google it
[01:23] <bastian> Sorry, is there anyone who could help me out with my TFTP-Problem?
[01:23] <Ubuntu_noob> wann help me out on it?
[01:24] <Jack_Sparrow> But because it is a pcmcia on port 36 I had to make some adjustments
[01:24] <Ubuntu_noob> idk wtf u are talkin bout sorry
[01:24] <dougsko> Ubuntu_noob: not really, its pretty easy and theres tons of howtos already there for the readin'
[01:24] <sahasrara> Jack_Sparrow, oh ok
[01:24] <OneTruth> bastian:  doesnt seem to be many server gurus here today
[01:24] <Aneglus> Ubuntu_noob, try the last gaim beta 3
[01:24] <Ubuntu_noob> Where do i find what you are talking about?
[01:24] <bastian> So nobody tried ever to setup tftp on any ubuntu-machine?
[01:24] <sahasrara> Jack_Sparrow: isn't compiling drivers par for the course? i've seen a million pages on that
[01:24] <alienseer23> dougsko, will other image files work for that, nrg, bin-cue, ect...
[01:24] <dougsko> Ubuntu_noob: GOOGLE
[01:24] <Aneglus> Ubuntu_noob, dumb question man
[01:25] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: It need not be
 i cant stand +GAIM
[01:25] <dougsko> alienseer23: yeah
[01:25] <MatthewV> gpfreitas, what video card do you have?
[01:25] <bastian> Well, was worth I try and never the less my first IRC session at all :-)
[01:25] <alienseer23> wow, that's cool
[01:25] <Aneglus> Ubuntu_noob, what do u mean ?
[01:25] <bastian> Thank you and greetings from Vienna, Austria
[01:25] <OneTruth> bastian: no im sure they have, it just doesnt seem that there are any FTP experts here... Keep asking somone will show up eventially
[01:25] <sahasrara> Jack_Sparrow: that's good to hear :) i'd rather the thing just work
[01:25] <gpfreitas> Some Nvidia card... it was a bit buggy from the beginning...
[01:25] <dougsko> bastian: whats your problem?
[01:25] <bastian> I'
[01:25] <Ubuntu_noob> I do not like the way gaim is set up
[01:25] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: If that one dosent work you can yell at me all you want....
[01:26] <bastian> I'd like to setup a TFTP server for diskless booting
[01:26] <alienseer23> dougsko, thanks for the good news, there. What about emulation for playing back-up images of gaims in cedega or thru wine?
[01:26] <bastian> I've already set up the server at all but it doesn't serve anything else than localhost
[01:26] <Aneglus> Ubuntu_noob, there is lot improvement in the last version =)
[01:26] <Aneglus> Ubuntu_noob, for sure try it
[01:26] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: I know it will work fine as will almost any hardware/external modem
[01:26] <Aneglus> Ubuntu_noob, I agree with u the old gaim is soo ugly and hard to use
[01:26] <sahasrara> Jack_Sparrow: lol
[01:26] <thybo> any link with screens of gaim 3?
[01:26] <dougsko> bastian: ok, first off, let me stop you there. no ftp, no tftp, SSH is the only way
[01:26] <gpfreitas> MatthewV: some buggy Nvidia card!
[01:26] <Aneglus> Ubugtu, the new one is much better
[01:26] <Ubuntu_noob> ok well i let my tux box download the updates and it is stucl on a black screen now
[01:26] <bastian> dougsko: It receives the GET-request, but doesn't serve
[01:26] <sahasrara> Jack_Sparrow: ok, at least i'm not shopping for a dual-pc modem like i was
[01:27] <bastian> Pardon?
[01:27] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: I have the modem box in front of me for the airlink and it still has three pci modems in it
[01:27] <dougsko> bastian: oh, so you already kind of have it set up?
[01:27] <MatthewV> gpfreitas, if its an nvidia card, you could take a look at !nvidia that should be able to help you
[01:27] <bastian> :dougsko: Yes
[01:27] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: make that 4.. two are usr
[01:27] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: one is diamond and the other 3com..
[01:27] <bastian> :dougsko it's set up and running (tried it as daemon and using both inetd and xinetd - no difference)
[01:27] <sahasrara> Jack_Sparrow: pci modems in it? you mean the ones you tried before?
[01:27] <dougsko> alienseer23: i havent used ccedega, but ived used wine with limited success for random apps. its all a crapshoot really
[01:27] <Jack_Sparrow> yep:)
[01:28] <djk_> what are the advantages of sysklogd vs metalog and vice versa?
[01:28] <alienseer23> last question of the moment, can anyone tell me where to look to find something to handle a .wdb (works data base) file?
[01:28] <alienseer23> dougsko, ok
[01:28] <bastian> :dougsko: But it only serves files to localhost and I can't understand why ...
[01:28] <dougsko> bastian: do you have any firewalls running?
[01:28] <rhican> is there a loginmannager (DM) i can apt-get, that won't force me to type the usernames, but sut select them from a list?
[01:28] <bastian> :dougsko: No firewalls, iptables are absolutely clean
[01:28] <OneTruth> when i set the owner of a directory to www-data i can no longer get to it over the web... Why is this?
[01:29] <gpfreitas> MatthewV: Thanks, I'll try that!
[01:29] <dougsko> bastian: just pastbin me your config file, its too hard to try and trouble shoot without it. and also include whatever errors or anything you see
[01:29] <bastian> :dougsko: How can I transfer it to you?
[01:29] <Ubuntu_noob> What version of GAIM beta3 do i need to get?
[01:29] <bastian> :dougsko: via mail?
[01:29] <dougsko> just give me the link
[01:30] <sahasrara> someone on the forum sent me to the standard linux modem compabitility sites, i say they are not enough, that distros should be specified with modems in lists
[01:30] <bastian> :dougsko: I've not copied a config file 1:1
[01:30] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: Agreed...
[01:30] <Ubuntu_noob> how do i access my root user on my tuxbox?
[01:30] <dougsko> bastian: go to http://pastebin.ca/
[01:30] <dougsko> bastian: paste all relevant info, submit the post, and give me the link
[01:31] <OneTruth> Ubuntu_noob:  Use the Sudo command
[01:31] <Ubuntu_noob> sudo?
[01:31] <OneTruth> Ubuntu_noob:  or if you are doing alot of root commands: Sudu su
[01:31] <Ubuntu_noob> sudo?
[01:31] <MatthewV> !sudo
[01:31] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[01:31] <OneTruth> Ubuntu_noob: sudo command here
[01:31] <bastian> ok, gimme some minutes, I'm going to collect the configs and paste them!
[01:31] <sahasrara> oh that's what sudo means
[01:31] <sahasrara> i saw "sudo make" somewhere
[01:31] <dougsko> bastian: word
[01:31] <Aneglus> Ubuntu_noob, man just read some things on the Wiki
[01:31] <OneTruth> Ubuntu_noob: just put sudo before any command to run it as super-user
[01:31] <Ubuntu_noob> ok well i cant access my user when i login i get a black screen
[01:31] <Aneglus> Ubuntu_noob, because... it's too much
[01:32] <sahasrara> linux is taking over my life, i've got 3 books i'm reading on it, plus websites
[01:32] <J-_> nice, just made a gksudo nautilus "icon", never thought it'd work :D
[01:32] <sahasrara> all this to save a buck not having to upgrade to windows lol
[01:33] <DeathSoul> hello
[01:33] <sahasrara> ok i also just always wanted to switch to linux
[01:33] <J-_> windows stinks =X
[01:33] <azureal> sahasrara, that's pretty sad, w/ three books and sites and you don't know sudo lol
[01:33] <dougsko> Ubuntu_noob: seriously dude, theres a lot of newbs here, but you have to do some reading on your own. almost any question you can think of has been answered already. if youve already read about something and have a *specific* question, thats the time to ask
[01:34] <dougsko> Ubuntu_noob: but dont exoect us to teach you how to use unix
[01:34] <DeathSoul> anyone here thats kind of "experienced" with ubunto?
[01:34] <azureal> what's ubunto?
[01:34] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: http://www.suseblog.com/index.php go to july 31 near the bottom is a link to a free book, the easiest linux book you will ever read
[01:34] <xsimo> haha
[01:34] <OneTruth> azureal: never heard of ubunto
[01:34] <DeathSoul> ubuntu , sorry , my mistake :P
[01:34] <bastian> one more minute :)
[01:34] <J-_> Ubuntu_noob: just gran a pencil and some paper, once you know a command, and its use. write it down, it helps A LOT
[01:34] <sahasrara> one of my books is an O'Reilly one on Unix, from the library, plus i have 2 unix books of my own
[01:34] <xsimo> typos happens
[01:35] <sahasrara> Jack_Sparrow: oh cool thank you
[01:35] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[01:35] <viper550> I'm just curious, what IRC clients are you using? I am using KVirc now
[01:35] <azureal> xchat
[01:35] <OneTruth> sahasrara: Linux in a nutshell by Oreilly is my BEST FRIEND EVER
[01:35] <fissy> telnet
[01:35] <J-_> irssi
[01:35] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: If you cant find that modem let me know..
[01:35] <dougsko> irssi
[01:36] <OneTruth> colloquy :0
[01:36] <sahasrara> OneTruth: isn't that for review? after you kinda know it?
[01:36] <sahasrara> Jack_sparrow: alright, thank you...
[01:36] <OneTruth> sahasrara: yeah it's basically a reference of every linux command
[01:36] <xsimo> not for dummies
[01:36] <OneTruth> sahasrara: not  a learn linux, just a linux reference
[01:36] <bastian> :dougsko: Name/Title: bastian_tftpd
[01:37] <dougsko> bastian: ok, ill take a look at it
[01:37] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: http://www.3gplaza.com/estore/control/computer3g/category?category_id=7000&menu_id=0  $32 free shipping
[01:37] <jordanau> how do i make grip, not sound juicer, open when a cd is placed in the drive
[01:37] <sahasrara> OneTruth: brb
[01:37] <kupesoft> How do I build a chroot jail for ssh users?
[01:37] <bastian> :dougsko: http://pastebin.ca/127027
[01:37] <fissy> jordanau: System > Preferences > Removable Drives and Media
[01:37] <sahasrara> back lol... had to get my Unix in a Nutshell, OneTruth: isn't mine as good as yours (Linux in a Nutshell)?
[01:38] <bastian> :dougsko: wrong: http://pastebin.ca/127028
[01:38] <azureal> sahasrara, oh, i glanced at that book...and don't like it
[01:38] <J-_> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper has helped me a lot, still is.
[01:38] <DeathSoul> anyhow , ill just ask my question before i decide to use ubuntu, I know every unix supports wireless, but ive been reading around and cant really find a answer. Last time i tried unix(mandrake). I couldnt find my wireless card(even though i used the cd that comes with it. so my question is, how do i get my wireless up and running?(talking about internet connection)
[01:38] <OneTruth> sahasrara: uhh I imagine the linux one has more linux specific commands
[01:38] <azureal> OneTruth: it's a very bad book...it's basically man pages
[01:38] <sahasrara> OneTruth: true
[01:38] <azureal> if there was any substance
[01:38] <kupesoft> DeathSoul:  http://help.ubuntu.com/communit
[01:38] <sahasrara> azureal: which one don't you like? Unix in a Nutshell?
[01:39] <kupesoft> DeathSoul:  * http://help.ubuntu.com/community
[01:39] <OneTruth> azureal:  thats the point of the book, its a command reference
[01:39] <azureal> sahasrara, i looked at linux in a nutshell for about 5 minutes before deleting it
[01:39] <hangfire> DeathSoul- I think you have to check what drivers the wireless card youre using supports
[01:39] <johnjimmy> Hello everyone
[01:39] <maiden30403> For some reason ubuntu is blocking my port for connecting to msn but I can access it by using port 80. However it seems to run slower this way. It worked with port 1863 yesterday but it seems to have just stopped working. And I haven't changed any settings on my router. Anyone have any idea as to what's going on?
[01:39] <J-_> wahh you can download that book...?
[01:39] <B_166-ER-X> how can i connect a ubuntu pc, on a 56k modem  ?
[01:39] <sahasrara> Jack_Sparrow: hey that looks exactly the same as the Amigo (Conexant) :P
[01:40] <sahasrara> azureal: ohh
[01:40] <azureal> OneTruth, er... that's the pt of man pages..
[01:40] <DeathSoul> ok , thnx hangfire
[01:40] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: do you have a modem in there now?
[01:40] <OneTruth> azureal: yeah i know but to use man you need to know what the command is called
[01:40] <NITROSLICK> Where can I download the Ubuntu Live-CD distro?
[01:40] <sahasrara> i do like command references, as long as i have a learning book too
[01:40] <OneTruth> azureal: dont you?
[01:40] <azureal> OneTruth, you could randomly look at /usr/bin if you're bored, lol
[01:41] <OneTruth> azureal: lol
[01:41] <eugman> I would like to know how to set my swap back to using the swap partition.
[01:41] <sahasrara> Jack_Sparrow: yeah it's a USR 56k Winmodem (not supported at all)
[01:41] <{K}Lubby> hey
[01:41] <arukirei> does anyone know how to disable the background on remote desktop connection??
[01:41] <OneTruth> azureal: man cp ... nope not that one, man mv.... nope, man
[01:41] <dougsko> bastian: paste your config file for the tftp server. it'll be in /etc somewhere
[01:41] <{K}Lubby> i have a question: what's a good program to use on ubuntu that works as an email server?
[01:41] <azureal> OneTruth,  man man!
[01:41] <OneTruth> azureal:  good ol' trial and error, there are only a few thousand commands right?
[01:41] <mcphail> OneTruth: apropos
[01:41] <Xenguy> B_166-ER-X: 'kppp' may be worth a look, depending on your situation
[01:41] <jordanau> thank you fissy
[01:42] <johnjimmy>  the problem is "NO CARRIER" i think with WVdial and Kppp. I also tried ppp0 and got the same thing! Ive searched the net and so far, the solutions arent working fer me. I've a Conexant HSF modem which works really gud with Windows
[01:42] <fissy> {K}Lubby: postfix and dovecot together are very easy
[01:42] <johnjimmy> can any one help?
[01:42] <sahasrara> Jack_Sparrow: your Airlink recommendation confirms the Amigo rec i already got, b/c they look like the same Conexant modem under different names
[01:42] <eugman> Hahahaha man has a man page. Awesome
[01:42] <azureal> OneTruth, well that's how you see it
[01:42] <{K}Lubby> fissy: where do i get them?
[01:42] <Chetwin> !synaptics
[01:42] <ubotu> For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SynapticsTouchpadHowTo
[01:42] <sahasrara> :)
[01:42] <OneTruth> azureal: ive never tried man man,
[01:42] <Jack_Sparrow> the model AME is a clue
[01:42] <Jeruvy> newb
[01:42] <azureal> I'd recommend a better linux tutorial, one where you learn by actually typing the commands
[01:42] <azureal> www.linuxsurvival.com
[01:42] <kupesoft> how do I build a chroot jail
[01:42] <fissy> {K}Lubby: do you know how to use the synaptic package manager?
[01:42] <maiden30403> For some reason ubuntu is blocking my port for connecting to msn but I can access it by using port 80. However it seems to run slower this way. It worked with port 1863 yesterday but it seems to have just stopped working. And I haven't changed any settings on my router. Anyone have any idea as to what's going on?
[01:42] <azureal> it's just the basics, but a great start
[01:43] <sahasrara> azureal and OneTruth: well i think the reference books are nice b/c they are portable, right? sometimes i like to just read a paper book
[01:43] <xsimo> man man does describes how man works
[01:43] <{K}Lubby> fissy: uhhh i think so, open it, click what i want to instal, hit apply, right?
[01:43] <sahasrara> azureal: that's good to know too
[01:43] <OneTruth> azureal:  i agree, i cannot learn linux from this book. need a tutorial type lesson
[01:43] <OneTruth> sahasrara: yea if you like to read Man pages, Linux in a nutshell is definetly for you
[01:43] <B_166-ER-X> Xenguy,  nice, but the computer i'm trying to connect is NOT on the internet, so cannot download anything, isnt there suposed to have something already installed for this ??
[01:43] <A-L-P-H-A> anyone got clues to my wifi linux problem? http://pastebin.ca/127036
[01:44] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: and highlighters are brutal on my monitor
[01:44] <sahasrara> Jack_Sparrow: are you the one who gave me the link to the suse rant?
[01:44] <bastian> :dougsko Anything seen yet?
[01:44] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: no
[01:44] <dougsko> heres a UNIX newbie challenge: make a text file and save it as "-test" (minus the quotes). now try and and delete that file from the command line
[01:44] <sahasrara> hm well i don't know if i like to read man pages... but i can say i do like completeness if i can understand it
[01:44] <fissy> {K}Lubby: yep, search for postfix and install that. then search for dovecot and install dovecot common and whichever of the two delivery protocols you want, IMAP or PoP
[01:44] <dougsko> bastian: no, dude, paste in you config file for the tftp server
[01:44] <azureal> haha... since we're talking about 'highlighters', does anyone know how to make characters that are bold just be bright, but not 2x wider?
[01:44] <dougsko> bastian: itll be in /etc somewhere
[01:44] <azureal> (xterm or aterm)
[01:45] <kupesoft> how do I set up a chroot jail?!
[01:45] <bastian> :dougsko The TFTP-Server doesn't have a config file!
[01:45] <{K}Lubby> fissy: what's the difference between imap and pop, and which is better?
[01:45] <sahasrara> i may be overwhelmed but i still like to get the whole tech story (all my computer school books are severely tabbed up)
[01:45] <jvai> hey every1, is the dapper iso, the official 1? i dl'ed an earlier 1 last month, is it good still?
[01:45] <bastian> :dougsko it's only configured by parameters
[01:45] <eugman> Can someone  tell me how to fix my swap so it uses the partition like before?
[01:45] <azureal> sahasrara, basically, the more you read, the better
[01:45] <dougsko> bastian: what does that mean?
[01:45] <bastian> :dougsko There IS no config-file for the TFTP-server itself
[01:45] <sahasrara> Jack_Sparrow: that was a joke, right? (the highlighters)
[01:45] <dougsko> bastian: you just use switches when you start it/
[01:46] <azureal> .. because in the linux world, no one wants to hold your hand
[01:46] <azureal> or spoon-feed you
[01:46] <hangfire> sahasrara- There are good online tutorials for learning to use Linux http://linuxcommand.org/learning_the_shell.php
[01:46] <azureal> they just want to be able to point in a direction and have you go there...
[01:46] <Xenguy> B_166-ER-X: hrm, I don't recall manually installing kppp here (I don't use dial-up) and yet it is installed... Are you sure it is not installed?
[01:46] <xeh> thats what google is for:)
[01:46] <jvai> well, right now, i'm downloading the new released dapper, & i deleted the old iso i had in my home folder
[01:46] <sahasrara> azureal: that's why i hurt myself reading so much, and still have more to read lol
[01:46] <azureal> ...and discover the buried bone yourself =)
[01:46] <fissy> {K}Lubby: IMAP has more features and is more modern. POP is only really good as a really basic way of delivering a message to a client and forgetting about it. You can have both protocols working simultaneously if you don't want to have to choose between them
[01:46] <jvai> it's not even a bittorent ither, just a straight dlo
[01:46] <bastian> :dougsko correct!
[01:47] <dougsko> bastian: id say, for now, make your hosts.allow just say ALL:ALL
[01:47] <bastian> :dougsko Only switches
[01:47] <sahasrara> azureal: and i don't mind being pointed in a direction, i just like ppl to understand that i do research a lot and sometimes need that nudge
[01:47] <azureal> sahasrara, well, you just have people pointing you in the right direction of the reading
[01:47] <dougsko> bastian: and dont have anything in hosts.deny
[01:47] <dougsko> bastian: just for trouble shooting purposes
[01:47] <eugman> Hey, is there anyone who has use UCK who can help me with a porblem?
[01:47] <{K}Lubby> fissy: is there any way that i can make it work so that when my linux computer (the email server) isn't on and someone tries to send me an email i can get it when i turn the computer back on?
[01:47] <Xenguy> B_166-ER-X: sorry, my mistake, it is not installed here
[01:47] <Flannel> jvai: both ISOs are fine, 6.06.1 just includes bugfixes from 6.06, which means that you have less to download after intsallation to be up to date, and the installer is updated, and fixes some issues
[01:47] <dougsko> bastian: oh yeah, and disable your firewall completely on yr windows box
[01:47] <sahasrara> i need that ebook link again b/c i don't know how to search the screen here
[01:48] <bastian> :dougsko Okay, gimme some minutes for some tries!
[01:48] <sahasrara> Jack_Sparrow: didn't you give me an ebook link?
[01:48] <hangfire> sahasrara- There are good online tutorials for learning to use Linux http://linuxcommand.org/learning_the_shell.php
[01:48] <OneTruth> sahasrara: http://www.suseblog.com/?p=141
[01:48] <mcphail> {K}Lubby: that will happen anyway. The sender rpogram will keep trying to send in the background
[01:48] <neutrinomass> Any idea if it's possible to control my laptop's fan manually ? (It's usually on my lap and it gets quite hot, and I don't mind the fan running when on AC )
[01:48] <dougsko> sahasrara: if you go to O'Reilly's site, they have some free books like that online
[01:48] <sahasrara> azureal: this tutorial looks good
[01:48] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: yes
[01:48] <Xenguy> B_166-ER-X: try pppconfig
[01:48] <azureal> sahasrara, linux survival? it's fun =)
[01:48] <jvai> ok.. that's what i want, it'll be an quicker install, but i deleted the old iso aready :(
[01:48] <fissy> {K}Lubby: yesss, but that really means that you need to have another email server on all the time somewhere else that can accept mail for you if your computer is off. Are you trying to set up a mail server to receive mail for a domain you own, or for an email account somewhere else?
[01:48] <jvai> thanx @ flannel
[01:49] <thybo> is there an xvid codec?
[01:49] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: oh and the suse rant was the current topic.. yes sorry
[01:49] <azureal> hha
[01:49] <azureal> haha*
[01:49] <sahasrara> ohh
[01:50] <azureal> thybo: yes, there's an xvid codec.. not sure if easyubuntu gets it for you or not
[01:50] <sahasrara> Jack_Sparrow: suse rant was the topic? is the ebook on there or did you give me another link for it?
[01:50] <azureal> !easyubuntu > thybo
[01:50] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: http://www.suseblog.com/index.php go to july 31 near the bottom is a link to a free book, the easiest linux book you will ever read
[01:50] <sahasrara> ah yes, thanks
[01:50] <dougsko> thybo: dude, use VLC for *all* your video needs
[01:50] <tkup> pvcreate /dev/hdb1 completes successfully. but vgcreate xen /dev/hdb1 /dev/hda5 gives me "No physical volume label read from /dev/hdb1" and "not identified as an existing physical volume"
[01:50] <dougsko> thybo: it seriously plays EVERYTHING
[01:51] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: :)
[01:51] <OneTruth> VLC is the best, it does play everything
[01:51] <sahasrara> yes i got it! thanks!
[01:51] <xsimo> me too
[01:51] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: Even here you need to read carefully
[01:51] <B_166-ER-X> Xenguy , thx i try taht
[01:52] <Xenguy> B_166-ER-X: good luck
[01:52] <sahasrara> Jack_Sparrow: yeah, i didn't have logging on, sorry, and i dont' know how to search in here if it's possible
[01:52] <sahasrara> my main goal is to get a modem and get switched over to linux, then i'll bury myself in linux sandcastles all day lol
[01:52] <azureal> but thybo, easyubuntu helps you get a lot of great codecs
[01:53] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: why not dual boot..
[01:53] <tkup> Anyone can help with LVM issues?
[01:53] <sahasrara> Jack_Sparrow: because my hd is too small for windows to partition it
[01:53] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: ggod enough
[01:53] <Jack_Sparrow> good
[01:53] <azureal> windows=gaming ;   linux=everything else
[01:53] <sahasrara> Jack_Sparrow: it's 8 gigs... or i was told i'd need a 2nd hd..
[01:54] <Jack_Sparrow> azureal: WIndows is MY playstation.. :)
[01:54] <azureal> 8 gig hd?!?!
[01:54] <bastian> :dougsko For nothing ... works locally but not remote
[01:54] <sahasrara> hehe
[01:54] <thybo> thanks azureal
[01:54] <azureal> ...for some reason i can't play ut in linux w/ this graphics card...
[01:54] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: where in the world are you...  or does your nick say it all.
[01:54] <azureal> ..but i can in windows...oh well
[01:54] <azureal> thybo: np
[01:54] <sahasrara> i pride myself on making good use of limited resources :)
[01:55] <whoppix> heya ppl :) i just wanted to ask if there is a reason why ubuntu has 3 cron daemons by default? (anachron, atd,cron) and two logging daemons (klogd and syslogd) that seems very much to me, can i disable some of them? thx for answer in advance :)
[01:55] <sahasrara> Jack_Sparrow: i'm in the us, my name is just a chakra thing :P
[01:55] <B_166-ER-X> dang, when ubuntu boots, it stops and come all BLack when trying to go in X, and in safemode, /etc/X11/xorg.conf     says 'error, cannot open display' (null) , any ideas ?
[01:55] <azureal> sahasrara, you just will have to avoid a lot of fun habits
[01:55] <azureal> sahasrara, like anime, lol
[01:55] <J-_> i just converted both my systems to linux, my crappier system is going to be a webserver, and my bett'r system will be my "experimental system" til i get better at linux. then, i'll have my groove on (learning different languages and utilizing them.
[01:55] <Chetwin> Hey all, my touchpad is a total sham.  Can anyone help me?  I tried following the HOWTO, but it didn't work
[01:55] <jordanau> i set grip to open whenever a cd opens, now when i put in a cd a second instance opens if a first was open, how do i get the cd to open in an existing instance of grip?
[01:55] <sahasrara> the only problem is my backup cd's are kind of piling up, so i think it'd be nice to get all that data onto a hd or something
[01:55] <azureal> J-_: what flavor is your server
[01:56] <azureal> (or distro)
[01:56] <J-_> clark connect
[01:56] <sahasrara> *is a packrat for saved research*
[01:56] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: I am west coast you?
[01:56] <Jeruvy> whoppix: sure, simply check each to make sure the ones you don't want are not being used.  You may have to shuffle some tasks around but not too difficult, probably not tho
[01:56] <Flannel> sahasrara: go buy a 300gb HD ;)  you can get them for like $50.  Pretty cheap.
[01:56] <dougsko> B_166-ER-X: check the xorg error log, itll often tell you the section its failing on
[01:56] <azureal> Flannel, yea, i need one of those ;)
[01:56] <sahasrara> Jack_Sparrow: midwest
[01:56] <Chetwin> Annyone anyone?
[01:56] <Chetwin> Hey all, my touchpad is a total sham.  Can anyone help me?  I tried following the HOWTO, but it didn't work
[01:56] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: try the thrift shops,
[01:56] <azureal> !anyone > Chetwin
[01:56] <jordanau> Chetwin, did you follow it perfectly or did you have problems doing it?
[01:56] <sahasrara> now i'm running into a long file name problem with nero burning my backup
[01:57] <Flannel> sahasrara: heck, just ditch your 8, you'll probably save a bunch of energy too.  since Im sure that 8 is at least 10 years old
[01:57] <J-_> azureal: not that i can call it a server YET, still learning HEH
[01:57] <Flannel> er, 5 even.
[01:57] <DeathSoul> noob question : what version linux is this? (im gonna download some drivers, and i need to spesify what linux it is) 2.2.x , 2.4.x or 2.6.x ?
[01:57] <Chetwin> No i followed it to the letter
[01:57] <whoppix> Jeruvy, well, actually this is a workstation, so i dont think i need any logging daemons/cronjob daemons at all, or do the system need those services (maybe for the update-thingy or so) or can i safely disable them?
[01:57] <mcphail> whoppix: why would you want to disable them? They all do different things...
[01:57] <Flannel> DeathSoul: 2.6.15 for dapper
[01:57] <{K}Lubby> fissy: i installed postfix, dovecot common, and dovecot imap... now where are they and how do i set them up?
[01:57] <thybo> how do u use easyubuntu?:s
[01:57] <gorodek> hi, my question isnt ubuntu related, but hopefully someone can help me out. i have a dm-crypt crypted disk and want to permantly decrypt this disk, without temporary copying the data onto another disk. is dd if=/dev/mapper/crypted1 of=/dev/sdc a possible and an adaquate solution? what would you suggest and is there any tutorial out there?  i couldnt find anything about decrypting on google ;(
[01:57] <sahasrara> Jack_Sparrow: yeah, one in the area has pc's plugged in so you can check them out
[01:57] <dougsko> sahasrara: yeah theres a name limit in the juliet system
[01:57] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: Do a scandisk on that drive thorough
[01:57] <DeathSoul> thanks Flannel
[01:57] <Jeruvy> whoppix: that would be why I'd think, you don't want to bust a daemon
[01:58] <B_166-ER-X> dougsko,  where do i find this log ? :|
[01:58] <sahasrara> Jack_Sparrow: and i look on craigslist a lot lately, i missed a huge computer parts giveaway one day
[01:58] <azureal> thybo: so you followed the wiki?
[01:58] <jordanau> !easyubuntu
[01:58] <ubotu> EasyUbuntu is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. See http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ ; for help and or discussions about EasyUbuntu please join #easyubuntu.
[01:58] <mcphail> whoppix: debian based systems use system cronjobs to do housekeeping tasks. Best keep them going
[01:58] <fissy> {K}Lubby: what would you like to do with your mail server? the config files should be /etc/postfix/main.cf and /etc/dovecot.conf
[01:58] <Jack_Sparrow> easybuntu is the russian roulette of Linux...
[01:58] <whoppix> mcphail, well, til now i only used 1 cron/logging daemon, and on my workstations i usually didnt installed any at all :)
[01:58] <dougsko> B_166-ER-X: /var/log/Xorg.0.log seems about right...
[01:58] <sahasrara> dougsko: yeah i hate it, so i saved a zillion cd burning utilities, but none seems to have data verification, long file name handling, and some other feature i forget at the moment
[01:58] <B_166-ER-X> thx
[01:58] <dougsko> B_166-ER-X: almost all your logs are going to be in /var/log/
[01:58] <{K}Lubby> fissy: i want to set it up to use as an email account
[01:58] <whoppix> mcphail, ok, thx for the tips, ill keep them, they are not consuming many resources anyway :)
[01:59] <azureal> thybo: you followed the directions for "Copy paste the code below to get and run EasyUbuntu."  ?
[01:59] <thybo> azureal : sorry itsa bit late :p
[01:59] <whoppix> Jeruvy, thx to you too :)
[01:59] <sahasrara> you get maybe 2 out of 3, so i need a separate data verifying tool i guess, then i can try BurnAtOnce
[01:59] <fissy> {K}Lubby: have you got a domain name to use?
[01:59] <Chetwin> I have a better question!!!  I have an HP, so all of my bios updates are for windows in the form of exes.  How am I supposed to apply a bios update?
[01:59] <FantasticFoo> sorry if this is a stupid question, bear in mind that i'm not a linux expert - is it possible to get direct rendering on the graphics card of a dell inspiron 2200 (apparently some sort of 'intel' graphics chip)? if not, what's the recommended driver for this?
[01:59] <mcphail> whoppix: think you can lose the logging daemons, though
[01:59] <azureal> thybo: what's late?
[01:59] <dougsko> sahasrara: in the linux world, k3b is my favorite burning app
[01:59] <thybo> da time
[01:59] <{K}Lubby> fissy: what do you mean?
[01:59] <dougsko> sahasrara: if you havent tried it, definalty give it a go
[01:59] <sahasrara> dougsko: i read it's good
[01:59] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: K3B is very cool
[01:59] <azureal> thybo: oh, you just needed to follow those lines and it's pretty eaesy afterwards =)
[01:59] <fissy> {K}Lubby:  lubby@lubbydomain.com
[02:00] <azureal> 4 lines; 3asy
[02:00] <Chetwin> I have an HP, so all of my bios updates are for windows in the form of exes.  How am I supposed to apply a bios update?
[02:00] <fissy> {K}Lubby: i take it you don't want to set up an email server to access your hotmail
[02:00] <dougsko> sahasrara: its really just a front end to utilites like cdrecord and such
[02:00] <{K}Lubby> fissy: uhhh i don't know, what do i have to do to get one? (i dont have one that i know of)
[02:00] <Chetwin> !synaptics
[02:00] <ubotu> For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SynapticsTouchpadHowTo
[02:00] <sahasrara> dougsko: ah ok, i read about that one, i have it saved too lol
[02:00] <dougsko> sahasrara: but what a beautiful it is
[02:00] <sahasrara> i go on downloading sprees
[02:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Chetwin: what is the purpose of the bios updates, they are usually to allow bigger drives and new hardware...
[02:00] <dougsko> sahasrara:... beautiful frontend that is
[02:01] <azureal> Jack_Sparrow, i have to disagree
[02:01] <sahasrara> but does it do data verification *looks for her cd burning cheatsheet she made*
[02:01] <Chetwin> Jack_Sparrow: It could be the cause of my touchpad issues
[02:01] <Flannel> Chetwin: actually, those EXEs just make boot disks... usually.  the BIOS on most machines takes care of it's own updates, once you have a boot disk and do whatever the magic keypresses are
[02:01] <fissy> {K}Lubby: you either need to buy one you like from someone like godaddy.com, or choose a free one from someone like dyndns.org. dyndns.org is a better choice if you're just learning how to do stuff and don't want to spend any money
[02:01] <Jack_Sparrow> azureal: with what.. that Automatix and easybuntu are NOT ready for prime time.
[02:01] <sahasrara> oh i don't know where it is
[02:01] <{K}Lubby> fissy: okay, so then what do i do next?
[02:01] <azureal> Jack_Sparrow, i disagree w/ your k3b comment ;)
[02:02] <fissy> {K}Lubby: configure postfix so that it will accept email for the domain you're going to register, then configure it to place the email it receives in folders in your filesystem
[02:02] <Jack_Sparrow> Chetwin: the bios updates have info on what they are for...
[02:02] <{K}Lubby> fissy: what do i do on dyndns.org?
[02:02] <Jack_Sparrow> azureal: I like K3B
[02:03] <xsimo> does anyone uses mandriva linux ?
[02:03] <Touru> Is it possible to make a full /home into its own partition somehow? And if so, is there a HowTo someone could point me to?
[02:03] <bastian> :dougsko Somebody wrote that diabling IPv6 will solve the problem ... I'm going to try out
[02:03] <Flannel> xsimo: #mandriva people do, I'm sure
[02:03] <azureal> Jack_Sparrow, good, just don't ask me to like it =)
[02:03] <dougsko> bastian: cool
[02:03] <Jack_Sparrow> azureal: IT has yet to make a coaster.
[02:03] <sahasrara> i don't know where my cheatsheet summary is... does it do long filenames?
[02:03] <dougsko> azureal: yeah dude, kde stuff is so heavy weight
[02:03] <fissy> {K}Lubby: register a domain, like lubby.dyndns.org. You could then use that as your web site, and people could email you at lubby@lubby.dyndns.org
[02:03] <jvai> find a dapper torrent!!! YAAY, now i only got like a ruff hour, bfore this coffeeshop closes
[02:03] <gorpon> leave #ubuntu
[02:03] <dougsko> azureal: so is gnome stuff for that matter...
[02:03] <gorpon> err doh sory
[02:03] <azureal> dougsko: I quietly avoided installing kde
[02:03] <gorpon> :)
[02:04] <gorpon> \leave ubuntu
[02:04] <azureal> dougsko: and i recently deleted *.gnome
[02:04] <dougsko> azureal: yeah i still have a bunch of the libraries and stuff cause i use k3b and amarok
[02:04] <Jack_Sparrow> azureal: I dindt install KDE, only the half :) I needed to run some kde apps
[02:04] <sahasrara> i've got to go though, wish i could stay for the gui discussion now lol... it was nice chatting, thanks for all the recommendations
[02:04] <azureal> ic
[02:04] <JackONeill> Hey, tonnes of stuff on the gnome panel is linked to nautilus - but i don't have installed cuz it's poop and I use thunar - any way of changing it?
[02:04] <dougsko> azureal: amarok is super sweet btw if anyone hasnt tried it yet
[02:04] <azureal> well, by now you guys can figure out what's left... (what i'm running)
[02:04] <Jack_Sparrow> sahasrara: enjoy
[02:04] <xsimo> see ya sahasrara
[02:04] <sahasrara> thanks
[02:04] <azureal> amarok = blah
[02:04] <fissy> {K}Lubby: http://www.dyndns.com/services/dns/dyndns/
[02:05] <dougsko> azureal: what do you like?
[02:05] <Jack_Sparrow> azureal: Windows and Nero
[02:05] <xsimo> what was that cheatsheet
[02:05] <xsimo> ??
[02:05] <mcphail> Jack_Sparrow: gnome uses nautilus for the desktop, even if you don't use it as a file browser
[02:05] <dougsko> lol
[02:05] <azureal> Jack_Sparrow, that's on my windows partition, yes, but what WM am i using?
[02:05] <mcphail> Jack_Sparrow: sorry, not for you...
[02:05] <[A] ndy80> hi
[02:05] <Flannel> JackONeill: mcphail's comment was for you
[02:05] <lufis> I've got a pretty low-end, old notebook. Should I consider installing Edgy Eft?
[02:05] <Jack_Sparrow> mcphail: np
[02:05] <Flannel> lufis: no.  Edgy is still in development
[02:05] <thybo> lufis
[02:05] <thybo> install austrumi
[02:05] <dougsko> azureal: fluxbox?
[02:05] <thybo> or damn small linux
[02:06] <tapo> how an I start hibernate from command line? I am using ion3 window manager...
[02:06] <lufis> Flannel: Well yeah, but I like to be on the cutting edge. 8-)
[02:06] <daishi_> how do i get ff 1.5 in ubuntu breezy?
[02:06] <tapo> an=can
[02:06] <azureal> dougsko, yep =)
[02:06] <Flannel> lufis: no, Edgy is 'not guarenteed to be usable day to day' unstable.
[02:06] <dougsko> azureal: NICE
[02:06] <dougsko> azureal: flux is the bomb
[02:06] <azureal> dougsko, i'm hoping you didnt get there by doing a /whois azureal lol
[02:06] <lufis> Flannel: :-P okay
[02:06] <dougsko> azureal: no, i was just guessing
[02:06] <Flannel> !tell daishi_ about firefox
[02:06] <dougsko> azureal: and i was gonna tell you that's what you outta be using
[02:06] <jaakkos> daishi_: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade doesn't do the trick?
[02:06] <dougsko> haha
[02:06] <azureal> fluxbox is definitely very nice
[02:06] <JackONeill> mcphail, that would explain why I have no desktop - but it's not been bothering me
[02:07] <daishi_> jaakkos, nope
[02:07] <dougsko> and it takes like 100 less MB to run
[02:07] <azureal> but i'm constantly on their channel asking a few things here and there
[02:07] <daishi_> i even added the repositorys and such
[02:07] <Flannel> daishi_: ubotu sent you a url, that'll walk you through it
[02:07] <daishi_> thanks Flannel
[02:07] <JackONeill> mcphail, i may put nautilus back for desktop purposes - can I set thunar as the default file manager so things launch that instead of nautilus !?
[02:07] <daishi_> yea i see
[02:07] <[A] ndy80> I've a print server (Netgear PS121) connected to my router, and I'd like to use the shared printer under Ubuntu. I go on printer panel and add a network printer (shared with SMB) but.... what is the correct syntax to use in host ecc...?
[02:07] <dougsko> azureal: they have a channel?
[02:08] <azureal> dougsko: of course, #fluxbox
[02:08] <mcphail> JackONeill: i suspect you will be able to. haven't tried this thouigh.
[02:08] <dougsko> azureal: cool
[02:08] <{K}Lubby> fissy: could you explain to me how to set up the /etc/postfix/main.cf file for my email server?
[02:08] <jcole> i rebuilt the linux-source-2.6.15 package with all kernels w/skipabi=false... i forgot what i'm to do to the linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15 package when building... do i need to change a version somewhere?
[02:08] <J-_> nice gksudo nautilus icon made =D looks sexy
[02:08] <azureal> dougsko, yea, i was wondering about ways to switch the bg when i click on a style, etc..
[02:09] <dougsko> azureal: yeah, ive been using it for years, but here on my box at work, it wont let me set a bg for some reason, i just get that X server snow
[02:09] <eugman> Is there anyone here who can give me some specific information on the Ubuntu Customization Kit?
[02:09] <dougsko> azureal: i know i have everythign set up right , but whatever, i dont feel like thinking about that now
[02:09] <azureal> dougsko, yea, i've only recently started, really
[02:09] <paotzu> Jack: http://assente.altervista.org/?q=use_thunar_as_default_gnome_file_manager
[02:10] <{K}Lubby> fissy: also, couldn't i just get a .tx domain somehow, since i heard those are free?
[02:10] <dougsko> azureal: the more you use it, the more youll just get pissed when using friends' boxes
[02:10] <paotzu> whoa altervista... how did I get there
[02:10] <fissy> {K}Lubby: do section 2 of this document (except for the gentoo specific 'emerge postfix')
[02:10] <azureal> i had spent too much time failing to configure my wireless w/ gentoo...
[02:10] <fissy> {K}Lubby: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/virt-mail-howto.xml
[02:10] <BHSPitMonkey> ugh
[02:10] <aarohi> i'm installig kubuntu-desktop. kdm configuration wants me to pick between kdm or gdm. i'm not sure as i've not tried them yet and not quite sure of the difference. please suggest what i should pick
[02:10] <BHSPitMonkey> firefox 1.5.0.5, curse you!
[02:10] <melchezedik> uner system i only have the option for 640x400 how do I get more options?
[02:10] <azureal> so i lost lots of time i could've spent playing w/ flux
[02:11] <thybo> chose gdm
[02:11] <thybo> its better :d
[02:11] <thybo> anyone masterize evolution mails?
[02:11] <paotzu> aarohi: you can always go back and change that
[02:11] <aarohi> thybo: what is the difference?
[02:11] <dougsko> To anyone using irssi: check out bitlbee. its real cool
[02:11] <BHSPitMonkey> gnomefreak, see, it did it again, and there wasn't even any flash video involved
[02:11] <thybo> the interface
[02:11] <eugman> Anyone here know how to enable universe repo when making a cd with UCK?
[02:11] <thybo> gnome or kde
[02:11] <J-_> haha first time i attempted to install fluxbox, my machine went a bit err crazy?
[02:11] <thybo> kde is more window like
[02:11] <thybo> and gnome
[02:11] <aarohi> paotzu: what should i pick now? is it just asking me a default between gnome or kde?
[02:11] <BHSPitMonkey> dougsko, the IM tool?
[02:11] <Solver> hi all.
[02:11] <thybo> lighter and swifter
[02:12] <eugman> How can I set my swap back to using my swap partition?
[02:12] <melchezedik> uner system i only have the option for 640x400 how do I get more options?
[02:12] <paotzu> aarohi: no, just which to use for the "login/password," you will still be able to chose your session type
[02:12] <djm62> Ubuntu has proven more reliable than my laptop.  Something deep has died in it, and my stuff isn't backed up.  Can anyone recommend a good way to get personal photos and stuff off it, and also a good OOB experience laptop?
[02:12] <Solver> I'm installing Ubuntu on a friend's laptop.  It's got 256MB and the thing is swapping to buggery during the install (the install spotted a swap space left by a previous installation).  Is that normal?
[02:12] <dougsko> BHSPitMonkey: yeah it pretty uch just lets you use aim and yahoo and jabber, etc in irssi
[02:12] <aarohi> paotzu: thanks
[02:13] <BHSPitMonkey> dougsko, yeah, I have an Instant Messenger client for my PSP that's essentially a bitlbee frontend
[02:13] <melchezedik> under system screen resolution i only have the option for 640x400 how do I get more options?
[02:13] <Solver> It's taken 1 hour to get to the first question in Dapper
[02:13] <OneTruth> djm62: you can try mounting your drive on another machine to see if you can recover your files
[02:13] <{K}Lubby> fissy: for the domain.name thing it would be like lubby.tk or whatever right?
[02:13] <mcphail> djm62: photorec
[02:13] <J-_> hmmm 86mb's in, 6mb out in a day... wonder if there's a memory leak =X
[02:13] <BHSPitMonkey> melchezedik, sounds like you need drivers for your graphics card.
[02:13] <[mX] > uhm.. is there a way to easily revert from edgy to dapper >:)
[02:13] <dougsko> BHSPitMonkey: yeah its pretty slick
[02:13] <fissy> {K}Lubby: don't get a .tk name, they don't work properly for email
[02:14] <BHSPitMonkey> dougsko, I don't see a reason to use it when you don't -have- to, though
[02:14] <djm62> OneTruth: I'm not familiar with laptop drives- if there's a physical way to plug it in, I can do it from a livecd
[02:14] <Solver> Is the dapper install really as heavy as it seems
[02:14] <{K}Lubby> fissy: okay, what do i get then?
[02:14] <melchezedik> bhspitonkey I have drivers
[02:14] <fissy> {K}Lubby: they do weird things to allow them to use pop up advertising on peoples websites
[02:14] <OneTruth> djm62:  well if your laptop wont boot at all the you will need to remove the drive
[02:14] <mcphail> djm62: buy a USB2 2.5" external caddy and slot it in
[02:14] <melchezedik> i have ha this problem before but its been about a year
[02:14] <fissy> {K}Lubby: dyndns
[02:14] <melchezedik> forgot the command
[02:14] <melchezedik> under system screen resolution i only have the option for 640x400 how do I get more options?
[02:14] <djm62> sweet :) that is cheaper than sorting out all the datachaos
[02:14] <{K}Lubby> fissy: okay hold on
[02:14] <paotzu> mX: google apt-get pinning
[02:14] <OneTruth> djm62:  then you need to hook the drive up to a different computer, like mcphail says you can use a USB external drive enclosure
[02:15] <Jack_Sparrow> brb hardware change
[02:15] <djm62> yeah, this machine doesn't even get to POST
[02:15] <{K}Lubby> fissy: okay, so now i put in my ip address, right?
[02:15] <J-_> i just have a 3.5" external hdd case and a 300gb drive =D need to get an enclosure with a fan
[02:15] <[mX] > paotzu: thanks
[02:15] <Solver> So anyone got any thoughts on the Dapper install - it really swaps hard with 256Mb ram?
[02:15] <OneTruth> djm62:  yeah, so as long as your hard drive is ok, than you should be able to recover your data
[02:16] <Walzmyn> ubuntu and kubuntu both use the same repos right?
[02:16] <djm62> crashed without parking the drive heads, but it's ext3 and I'm pretty confident about getting the important stuff
[02:16] <fissy> {K}Lubby: yes, you'll have to tell dyndns your ip address so they know where your computer is. You can find your ip address at www.ipchicken.com
[02:16] <Hobbsee> Walzmyn: yes
[02:16] <mcphail> djm62: if your hard drive has corrupted, use photorec
[02:16] <djm62> mcphail: what is that exactly?
[02:16] <mcphail> djm62: a very good open source data recovery tool
[02:16] <Walzmyn> hobbsee thanks
[02:17] <melchezedik> how do i configure zorg to allow more screen resolution options while in x?
[02:17] <{K}Lubby> fissy: i have my router forward all ports for our ip address to my xp box, but my ubuntu box (which is gonna be the mail server), is hooked up to my xp... so how do i forward all ports from my xp box to my ubuntu box (or do i need to?)
[02:17] <melchezedik> sry xorg
[02:17] <djm62> mcphail: does it need to run on the physical disk or will a dd image do?
[02:17] <neutrinomass> !fixres > melchezedik
[02:17] <mcphail> djm62: not sure about a dd image (but of course you should make a backup dd image before running anything on the physical disk)
[02:17] <J-_> are there any ubuntu flavors that come with fluxbox? or is it just a manual install type deal?
[02:18] <fissy> {K}Lubby: it would be a hell of a lot easier to swap your ubuntu and xp boxes round
[02:18] <BHSPitMonkey> J-_, manual install type of thing
[02:18] <J-_> cool
[02:18] <{K}Lubby> fissy: yeah i guess so... eh whatever im not gonna mess with it now
[02:18] <{K}Lubby> fissy: since im moving in the next week or two, ill figure it out then... maybe swap them around then
[02:19] <J-_> good luck...
[02:19] <{K}Lubby> fissy: oh wait, isn't that what NAT's do?
[02:19] <thybo> any reasons that mp3 work with rythmbox and not caffeine?
[02:19] <J-_> get xmms
[02:19] <J-_> =D
[02:19] <OneTruth> J-_:  what is fluxbox?
[02:19] <BHSPitMonkey> a window manager
[02:19] <J-_> !fluxbox
[02:19] <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
[02:19] <OneTruth> ahh ok
[02:19] <neutrinomass> thybo: kaffeine should use the xine audio backend, not gstreamer
[02:19] <neutrinomass> thybo: In short, more plugins to install.
[02:19] <djm62> so... that HP/Cpaq nx9020 laptop worked really nicely out of the box, but broke too quickly after the warranty ran out:  can anyone recommend a replacement suitable for one as inept and lazy as me?
[02:19] <neutrinomass> !mp3

[02:20] <thybo> lol
[02:20] <thybo> thx
[02:20] <thybo> and
[02:20] <thybo> any idea
[02:20] <neutrinomass> !enter
[02:20] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[02:20] <gorodek> hi, my question isnt ubuntu related, but hopefully someone can help me out. i have a dm-crypt crypted disk and want to permantly decrypt this disk, without temporary copying the data onto another disk. is dd if=/dev/mapper/crypted1 (temporary encrypted virtual disk of sdc) of=/dev/sdc a possible and an adaquate solution? what would you suggest and is there any tutorial out there?  i couldnt find anything about decrypting on google ;(
[02:20] <mcphail> djm62: an extended warranty is worthwhile with any laptop
[02:20] <thybo> of where i can find vlc? i closed it but the music is still going on
[02:20] <fissy> {K}Lubby: yes.. XP isn't very helpful in doing port forwarding in my experience though. You'll have two layers of NAT between your email machine and the internet. it would be a lot easier to have your boxes reversed. or just get a gmail account ;-)
[02:20] <paotzu> J: create a new livecd... flubuntu or somethin
[02:21] <{K}Lubby> fissy: yeah but i feel like making my own email/server? ;O
[02:21] <J-_> haha
[02:21] <djm62> mcphail: a retroactive extended warranty would be even more useful ;) whatever data I've lost, I've gained the data that hardware isn't immortal
[02:21] <BHSPitMonkey> please, don't, J-_ ... the division is already bad enough
[02:21] <fissy> {K}Lubby: maybe you could bridge the connections in XP, and reconfigure your router to forward to the ubuntu box instead
[02:21] <thybo> where can i find vlc? i co
[02:21] <J-_> not that not that smart...yet >=D
[02:21] <mcphail> djm62: you in uk?
[02:21] <melchezedik> nutrinomass thank you but that fix is only for a toshiba satellite laptop an isnt a genral fix for screen resolution options
[02:21] <djm62> aye
[02:21] <BHSPitMonkey> thybo, apt-get install vlc ?
[02:21] <neutrinomass> thybo: Not sure exactly what vlc is .... "killall -9 vlc" will force it to close (and lose any data that is open ... )
[02:22] <{K}Lubby> fissy: yeah i dunno, ill figure it out some other time, bye
[02:22] <melchezedik> i need more options than just 640 400
[02:22] <thybo> where can i find vlc ?i closed it and music is still runing
[02:22] <neutrinomass> melchezedik: Are you sure ?
[02:22] <thybo> lol
[02:22] <mcphail> djm62: there's a catalog of laptops on the linuxemporium site. Don't know how good they are
[02:22] <loopout4> how do install a driver for my wireless card?
[02:22] <neutrinomass> !fixres > neutrinomass
[02:22] <thybo> it will lose my song? :'(
[02:22] <fissy> =.=
[02:22] <soundray> djm62: have you talked to HP about that? If the warranty has only just run out, they might consider your case sympathetically
[02:22] <paotzu> J-_: there is a howto in the ubuntu wiki on doing that
[02:22] <melchezedik> yes
[02:22] <loopout4> how do install a driver for my wireless card? (this is for anyone)
[02:22] <melchezedik> thats where it took me
[02:22] <fissy> very frustrating getting kthxbyed after you've been helping someone do something complicated for half an hour
[02:22] <OneTruth> djm62:  ThinkPad, Dell, Apple are my favs
[02:22] <melchezedik> I have done this fix before I ont remeber how to do it though
[02:23] <thybo> i got a thinkpad x 32 (h)
[02:23] <loopout4> how do install a driver for my wireless card? (this is for anyone)
[02:23] <J-_> paotzu: cool, not going to do it heh, system is working alright right now, don't want to flunk it up
[02:23] <BHSPitMonkey> fissy, what do you mean? there was gratitude in there :)
[02:23] <OneTruth> thybo: thinkpads are sweetr
[02:23] <thybo> loopout what wifi card?
[02:23] <neutrinomass> melchezedik: It's a general guide form what I see ... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto . Again, in short all you need is 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' . Before that, make sure you backup your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file somewhere (if you mess up the configuration you might end up with a graphical display )
[02:23] <OneTruth> thybo: the only complaint I have is the newer ones dont come with a serial port, which is vital for me with cisco switches
[02:23] <loopout4> thybo: it's a d-link G510
[02:24] <neutrinomass> thybo: It won't lose your song, if vlc is a media player (i.e. you will lose any unsaved data, but there's nothing to save when the song is being played )
[02:24] <loopout4> I have a drive that's suppose to work, I think
[02:24] <wasabi_> Trying to get 3d accel working with fglrx.
[02:24] <wasabi_> Says it's using mesa indirect.
[02:24] <paotzu> wasabi_: use aticonfig
[02:24] <wasabi_> /usr/lib/libGL* is fromt he fglrx package.
[02:24] <melchezedik> yeah I went through the reconfigure process a few times an it still kicks me onto 640 400 with no other options isnt there some lspci conf file i need to change
[02:24] <fissy> he didn't quite manage to say thanks
[02:24] <fissy> oh well
[02:24] <loopout4> Thybo: do I need ndisgtk?
[02:24] <J-_> hmm, how hard is it to get 3d acceleration to work?
[02:25] <Dasnipa`> J-_, not hard
[02:26] <jvai> yea, i got a thinkpad t40 1 ghz of ram/ 1.4 mhz off ebay for 820. from a buyer called simplistic cumputers, i'm using it now
[02:26] <OneTruth> nice
[02:26] <djm62> I just want something reasonably built, working with all free drivers, including accelerated Xorg
[02:26] <loopout4> how do install a driver for my wireless card? (this is for anyone)
[02:27] <paotzu> wasabi_: I had problems with that, I ran aticonfig and dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg and explicity selected "fglrx" but then my xorg.conf had the wrong entry for "Screen" in the "DefaultLayout" section so I had to change that
[02:27] <melchezedik> how do i configure xorg to allow more screen resolution options while in x?
[02:27] <soundray> fissy: I know the feeling. But I suggest you examine your motives.
[02:27] <fissy> no teacher wants to teach people who don't want to learn
[02:27] <soundray> fissy: you could tell yourself that you've done a good job helping.
[02:28] <soundray> fissy: people actually being grateful is just sugar on top.
[02:28] <Jack_Sparrow> fissy: or spending half an hour before they say they are running a different distro or a mac or ...
[02:28] <BHSPitMonkey> !wireless
[02:28] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[02:28] <BHSPitMonkey> !ndiswrapper
[02:28] <paotzu> I had a tech support job where half of the people were upset every day
[02:28] <BHSPitMonkey> !info ndiswrapper
[02:28] <ubotu> Package ndiswrapper does not exist in dapper
[02:28] <fissy> Gratitude is nice
[02:29] <paotzu> some things I couldn't tell them how to do, like fix their illegally installed software, so they would get more upset
[02:29] <soundray> fissy: indeed, it is a virtue, but don't expect everybody to be blessed with it.
[02:29] <fissy> I'm not here to be free technical support because I have some misguided interest in stopping people using microsoft
[02:29] <fissy> I might start telling people to use exchange ;-)
[02:30] <BHSPitMonkey> loopout4, "sudo apt-get install ndisgtk"
[02:30] <paotzu> oh man stop trolling
[02:30] <fissy> though ironically, i'm sure exchange is harder than a simple linux setup
[02:30] <dougsko> fissy: and Outlook...
[02:30] <soundray> fissy: but if you're in it to receive thanks, you set yourself up for disappointment.
[02:30] <JackONeill> Anyway I can change "iso9660 user,unhide,noauto,ro 0 0" for my cdrom - so i can execute stuff on a cd?
[02:30] <fissy> what do you do it for then?
[02:31] <eugman> What would I type if I wanted to install a deb package at the in the current folder without having to answer any further  prompting
[02:31] <paotzu> JackONeill: add a umask=022
[02:31] <soundray> fissy: good question
[02:31] <fissy> :D
[02:31] <djm62> dpkg -i PACKAGE.deb
[02:31] <dougsko> JackONeill: just look at how your other disks are set up
[02:32] <paotzu> JackONeill: that will set every file to 755, so you can execute everything
[02:32] <BHSPitMonkey> fissy, "hang up", do you mean you were actually on the phone with somebody?
[02:32] <J-_> All I can say is, if i didn't find this channel, or irc for that matter. I wouldn't be on Ubuntu, learning anytthing related to Linux, so I give thanks to the people who've helped me, and who still are =D
[02:32] <fissy> no, I couldn't think of a better term for him yanking the cable out the back of his computer as fast as he could
[02:33] <BHSPitMonkey> J-_, funny, this is one of my least favorite channels ;)
[02:33] <paotzu> maybe he didn't like you
[02:33] <fissy> ty
[02:33] <BHSPitMonkey> not that I don't like the people, I just get overwhelmed by these huge, fast-scrolling channels
[02:33] <dougsko> BHSPitMonkey: what other related channels do you like?
[02:33] <J-_> BHSPitMonkey: nah i've learned a lot of things here, so i like it.
[02:34] <BHSPitMonkey> the first linux channel I ever used (and still do) is #LFD
[02:34] <BHSPitMonkey> people in there are pretty cool/helpful
[02:34] <dougsko> my first distro was kanotix, their channel is real good. very nice people
[02:34] <manuel1258> hola a todos
[02:34] <CalcMaster86> hi all: a question for you--does ubuntu offer any kind of built in firewalls in it? i'm able to ping my router, but can't ping my desktop running windows xp (and vice versa for the xp machine)
[02:34] <manuel1258> alguien habla espaol?
[02:35] <soundray> !es
[02:35] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[02:35] <NemesisUK> CalcMaster86, iptables
[02:35] <OneTruth> CalcMaster86: there is a built in firewall
[02:35] <dougsko> CalcMaster86: no firewalls are started automatically
[02:35] <manuel1258> ok gracias
[02:35] <soundray> fissy: I think I know
[02:35] <BHSPitMonkey> CalcMaster86, by default, Ubuntu is completely closed off. there's no firewall program, but you can get one through apt-get
[02:35] <OneTruth> !firewall
[02:35] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed with iptables (in the command line), firestarter (gui, can also setup connection sharing) or shorewall (web interface)
[02:35] <loopout4> BHSPitMonkey: that would work if I had a working connection (it's on my other PC) I downloaded the files for ndisgtk
[02:35] <soundray> fissy: I am looking for validation
[02:35] <BHSPitMonkey> oh, that sucks.
[02:36] <OneTruth> tell OneTruth about firewalls
[02:36] <OneTruth> !rell
[02:36] <ubotu> I know nothing about rell - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[02:36] <OneTruth> !tell
[02:36] <ubotu> I know nothing about tell - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[02:36] <BHSPitMonkey> loopout4, I'm in that situation with a few friends I'm trying to install ubuntu on, it's a self-defeating problem
[02:36] <loopout4> BHSPit: I''ve got the ndisgtk files and there dependancies, how do I install all that?
[02:36] <__mikem> OneTRuth don't do that
[02:36] <OneTruth> ubotu:  tell OneTruth about firewalls
[02:36] <ubotu> I know nothing about firewalls - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[02:36] <soundray> !tell OneTruth about firewall
[02:36] <dougsko> loopout4: sudo dpkg -i <package name>
[02:36] <OneTruth> ahh
[02:36] <OneTruth> thats how
[02:36] <OneTruth> :)
[02:36] <OneTruth> __mikem:  do what?
[02:37] <loopout4> doug: i'll try that
[02:37] <BHSPitMonkey> loopout4, do you have their dependencies' dependencies, and so on.. that's what's so tricky about it
[02:37] <CalcMaster86> hmm, ok... then it's got to be something with my router that i'm missing
[02:37] <loopout4> BHS: no I just went one deep
[02:37] <thybo> anyone masterize evolution mail?
[02:37] <paotzu> loopout4: what are you trying to install
[02:37] <__mikem> bot abuse
[02:37] <djm62> thybo: I use it daily? what do you want to know/do?
[02:37] <BHSPitMonkey> loopout4, the solution I've thought of is to bring a laptop (that has a working wifi connection) and share the connection over ethernet, just long enough to get wireless going on the pc
[02:37] <dougsko> loopout4: yeah, a net connections makes it easy like a 2am-er
[02:37] <BHSPitMonkey> I'm not sure if that is doable in your case.
[02:37] <thybo> i have a yahoo acount
[02:38] <OneTruth> __mikem: bot abuse? are you kidding?
[02:38] <soundray> aarohi: were you able to solve your repos problem?
[02:38] <thybo> and im using a secondary address to get my "pro" emails in my primaty, and they arrive in a folder
[02:38] <loopout4> paot: i'm trying to install a wireless card's driver
[02:38] <jordanau> my jre is pretty broken is the best way to fix it remove and reinstall?
[02:38] <thybo> is it possible to get the entire inbox in evolution?
[02:38] <aarohi> soundray: not quite. but i installed the kubuntu-desktop successfully from the internet
[02:39] <dougsko> jordanau: thatll probly be the easiest way. you can also do a dpkg --configure <pkg name>
[02:39] <tanlaan> Has anyone figured out what is wrong with the restarting of gdm for iMac G3's? I found someone else on here who was having the same problem as me.
[02:39] <dougsko> jordanau: its something like that, i forget the actual syntax
[02:39] <paotzu> loopout4: which driver?  you could do apt-gets with download-only and copy the files from /var/cache/apt/archives
[02:39] <siimo> anyone know if i can use citrix remote desktop thru linux
[02:39] <soundray> aarohi: well done... you could have saved some download time by manually copying .deb files from the CD to the package cache.
[02:40] <soundray> aarohi: sorry, too late now.
[02:40] <djm62> thybo: I'm not familiar with what yahoo offer - have you tried googling it (include ximian or novell or linux in your search to avoid talk of darwinism etc)
[02:40] <bartmaniac> hello, would ubuntu dapper run on intel new core 2 duo processors?
[02:40] <dougsko> bartmaniac: yes
[02:40] <superjew9020> im a noob and this is probably an easy fixer but when i try to go into a directory it says: i dont have permisions to access its content
[02:40] <thybo> ill give it a try
[02:40] <aarohi> soundray: indeed. i'm trying to discover the kde environment on ubuntu. not bad, actually.. still looking around :-)
[02:40] <dougsko> bartmaniac: it may not use their full capabilites though, youd have to research that some
[02:40] <OneTruth> !gksudo
[02:40] <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}
[02:40] <tanlaan> superjew9020: It is most likely owned by root
[02:41] <soundray> aarohi: did you know that there's a #kubuntu channel?
[02:41] <bartmaniac> dougsko: any preferenced mobo ? asus gigabyte, msi ....
[02:41] <OneTruth> superjew9020: gksudo nautilus
[02:41] <linux_user400354> what's the deal with automatrix? i used automatrix to install swift web browser. whenever i click on it in the gnome menu, it brings up firefox. the same thing happens when i run it from the cli.
[02:41] <soundray> !automatix
[02:41] <ubotu> Automatix is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. For help with and discussion of automatix please join #automatix.
[02:41] <aarohi> soundray: yes i do, but back when i posted my problem there, nobody was able to help so I had to post here
[02:41] <dougsko> bartmaniac: not really...sorry
[02:41] <superjew9020> in the terminal?
[02:41] <dougsko> bartmaniac: just get one that has the ports you need
[02:41] <linux_user400354> anyone tried installing swift web browser with automatrix?
[02:41] <dougsko> bartmaniac: pretty much everything works these days
[02:42] <linux_user400354> has anyone used swift web browser at all?
[02:42] <Ademan> is libsvg not in the repositories?
[02:42] <bartmaniac> dougsko: is it better to wait for edgy eft to get full support for core 2 duo?
[02:42] <loopout4> paotzu:  I'll be back
[02:42] <loopout4> quit
[02:42] <steveO_> if my dumbass deleted chrony.conf.. how do I get it back?  apt-get install chrony installed chrony but it didn't restore the conf file.
[02:43] <Flannel> steveO_: uninstall it, and use the --purge option (to completely remove it, and it's config files)
[02:43] <jordanau> linux_user400354, i thought it was for windows?
[02:43] <dougsko> bartmaniac: nah dude, install whateber you want for now. just make a separate /home partition. that way you can install anything else afterwards and you will have very minimal setup to do afterwards
[02:43] <djm62> steveO_: if you edited it manually, there might be a backup with chrony.conf.BAK or chrony.conf~ in there
[02:43] <tanlaan> Has anyone figured out what is wrong with the restarting of gdm for iMac G3's? I found someone else on here who was having the same problem as me.
[02:43] <superjew9020> thanks onetruth
[02:44] <soundray> Ademan: there are libraries for rendering SVG, but they aren't called that. Try an apt-cache search
[02:44] <OneTruth> superjew9020: np
[02:44] <lufis> Off-topic: I have a pretty old Compaq Presario notebook and its keyboard isn't working. I have to plug in an external keyboard in order to use one. The keyboard is detected by both Linux and Windows and responds to keystrokes (i.e., makes a beep when an invalid key is pressed) but as far as being able to type, it won't work!
[02:44] <steveO_> djm62: no luck :(
[02:44] <tanlaan> is there something else I need to do other than change the horizontal and vertical settings?
[02:44] <dougsko> bartmaniac: plus, your system will run very smooth. you wont even know that the "dual core" isnt doing anything (and it very well might, i really have no idea)
[02:44] <Ademan> i'm looking specifically for libsvg, its a dependancy for cairo-dock apparently
[02:45] <dougsko> bartmaniac: but def make a separate /home partition. the day you do a wipe/reinstall you will thank me
[02:45] <Ademan> soundray: http://cairographics.org/libsvg   makes me wonder if its just compiled into cairo
[02:45] <dougsko> lufis: reconfigure X and pick a different keyboard
[02:45] <steveO_> I'm not sure I understand the --purge option.  apt-get remove --purge chrony?
[02:46] <lufis> Dougsko: It isn't working in Linux or Windows
[02:46] <dougsko> steveO_: it gets rid of config files, which would otherise be left on the system
[02:46] <OneTruth> lufis: sounds like new keyboard time
[02:46] <linux_user400354> jordanau, it's probably got a windows and linux port
[02:46] <dougsko> lufis: well then it could just be beat
[02:46] <djm62> steveO_: by default, configuration files aren't removed (in case you want to temporarily remove a package)
[02:47] <lufis> Onetruth: well :-P the problem is, it's a notebook... and the screws to open up the casing aren't standard screws, so i can't get it open to see if there's a loose cable or something
[02:47] <OneTruth> lufis: I mean your external keyboard sounds like its dead
[02:47] <steveO_> Odd, well I tried the purge option and reinstalled.. it didn't reinstall the conf file though.
[02:47] <Flannel> lufis: you don't have any TORQ drivers laying around?
[02:48] <jvai> ok uall is was fun.. brb latr on tonyte
[02:48] <lufis> OneTruth: No, my external one works... it's the notebook's keyboard that's dead
[02:48] <OneTruth> lufis: ohhhh
[02:48] <steveO_> oh wait.
[02:48] <steveO_> I think I figured it out.
[02:48] <soundray> Ademan: I suspect not. apt-file search libsvg does not list any cairo-related packages here
[02:48] <OneTruth> lufis: are they torq screws?
[02:48] <mikolan> I can't find a good guide to set up a software raid
[02:49] <NemesisUK> !raid
[02:49] <ubotu> Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[02:49] <paotzu> Ademan: if this is for xgl, you need to add some repositories to get "libsvg-cairo" installed
[02:49] <lufis> OneTruth: No idea... the slot in the screw is kind of elongated, oval shape
[02:49] <OneTruth> oval shaped?
[02:49] <OneTruth> weird
[02:49] <steveO_> I had to apt-get install chrony, then apt-get remove --purge chrony and then install it again and it restored purged files.
[02:49] <steveO_> awesome, THANK you!
[02:49] <lufis> OneTruth: Yep. :(

[02:50] <OneTruth> lufis: what kind of laptop is it?
[02:50] <linux_user400354> how can i use cptp?

[02:57] <N1VLV> ty robertj :)
[02:57] <Gog123> hiya
[02:58] <OneTruth> tanlaan: whats wrong with it
[02:59] <Jack_Sparrow> tanlaan: I have to give you credit, you have been trying to get that old crt mac going for days now...  Does ANYONE have it running with Dapper..
[02:59] <tanlaan> OneTruth: Once I change the Horizontal and Vertical settings in xorg.conf and the try to restart gdm it fails to start it.
[03:00] <OneTruth> oh
[03:00] <OneTruth> tanlaan: I thought you meant hardware wise
[03:00] <OneTruth> tanlaan: I dont know what forums you are talking about
[03:00] <soundray> tanlaan: what settings did you use?
[03:01] <tanlaan> OneTruth: well the thing is that I had it running dapper before! then I reformatted to get a dual boot of mac os 9 and ubuntu...and it wont allow me to install ubuntu.
[03:02] <OneTruth> tanlaan: i see
[03:02] <OneTruth> tanlaan: i really don't know much about that sorry :(
[03:02] <Ademan> paotzu: no, this is for cairo-dock, which is a little dock app made by mac slow, and i was hoping to contribute, but i figured being able to compile it was a good first step lol.  By the way, another requirement said that metacity had to have composite enabled, is that enabled by default? what exactly does that mean? is that what AIGLX is doing? or does an unmodified metacity have taht ability too?
[03:02] <tanlaan> soundray: i used 60-60 for the horixontal and 75-117 forthe vertical and sorry if any of the anwsers are slow, the live cd is slow

[03:03] <KrisWood> Hello everyone. Has anyone here successfully installed the current version of gforge on ubuntu? I'm just wondering if anyone knows of a workaround to the current mod_auth_gforge.so compile bugs.

[03:03] <KrisWood> also the version of the binary in the repos is very very out of date
[03:03] <cordex> hi
[03:04] <cordex> i've got a problem with the torrent client azureus
[03:04] <soundray> tanlaan: give it a bit more leeway for the horizontal -- 50-70 should be okay
[03:04] <OneTruth> cordex: whats the problem
[03:05] <tiglionabbit> does this serpentine thing even work?  I hit the write button and nothing happens
[03:05] <J-_> how can i get 3d accel to work on my graphics card?
[03:05] <cordex> i've got a error message and couldn't hide oder otherwais click it away
[03:05] <tanlaan> soundray: ok I will try that, Ill be right back
[03:05] <soundray> tanlaan: hold on...
[03:05] <soundray> tanlaan: note the videogen package:

[03:06] <tanlaan> soundray: where would i find that? somewhere in the xorg.conf file?
[03:06] <J-_> =\
[03:08] <soundray> tanlaan: no - forget about it for now, see if you can get it installed with more conservative settings (Horiz. 50-70, Vert 65-80)
[03:08] <cordex> and now i've got the error message the holy time as azureus is runing in the down right part of my screen
[03:08] <cordex> sry 4 my bad engisch :(
[03:08] <tanlaan> soundray ok ill do that right now
[03:08] <tanlaan> soundray be right back
[03:09] <soundray> tanlaan: see you later
[03:11] <drew_> I just purchased a new system that came with Windows Media Center, and has a coaxial input in the back... Are their any programs I can use to emulate Media Center available for Ubuntu?
[03:11] <Kyral_Laptop> Just use a TV program?
[03:11] <soundray> cordex: your English is okay, aber vielleicht fhlst du dich in #ubuntu-de wohler.
[03:11] <hyperstream> hmm, anyone here know much about oss and alsa. if its possible to redirect oss (/dev/dsp) to alsa hw:0,1 ? so that oss based applications( wow , team speak) can be used while xmms is running on alsa etc?
[03:12] <IRC> how do i export mp3s in audacity? i did sudo apt-get install lame but i dont know where the liblame.so is located?
[03:12] <soundray> hyperstream: I've read your earlier questions, and I think what you're trying to do is not supported.
[03:12] <hyperstream> aww.
[03:13] <drew_> Kyral_Laptop, Such as? And how do I tell which peripheral returns the coaxial without opening the case? Is it usually the graphics card?
[03:13] <djm62> hyperstream: you might be able to find something like dmix and snd-oss (dsp?) but I don't know how succesful that kind of software mixing would be
[03:13] <Kyral_Laptop> drew_: dunno, never used one
[03:13] <Kyral_Laptop> just be a man and open the case and look if you wanna
[03:13] <IRC> how do i export mp3s in audacity? i did sudo apt-get install lame but i dont know where the liblame.so is located?
[03:14] <drew_> Too lazy.
[03:14] <Kyral_Laptop> drew_: lol
[03:14] <Kyral_Laptop> drew_: I don't know much about TV ins and outs on computers...I heard MythTV is good
[03:15] <freebse> IRC: it is missing in 6.06, so you need to manually install it via dpkg, or add a source for it

[03:16] <daishi__> like i want to use wlan0 instead of eth0
[03:16] <IRC> freebse: DeVilSouLBlacK: djm62: i installed it through sudo apt-get install lame
[03:16] <daishi__> oo maybe
[03:16] <Kyral_Laptop> When looking for system wide configs, look in /etc first :P
[03:16] <DeVilSouLBlacK> IRC type whereis lame
[03:16] <Tomcat_> daishi: Gateway is something in route... :o
[03:17] <freebse> IRC: hm, then sorry I could not install it this way, but could be my german mirror as well
[03:17] <IRC> DeVilSouLBlacK: nothing
[03:17] <dougsko> daishi__: do a ifconfig eth0 down; ifconfig wlan0 up; dhclient wlan0
[03:17] <soundray> IRC: it's /usr/lib/libmp3lame.so.0
[03:17] <djm62> daishi__: ifconfig (man interfaces is a good manpage)
[03:17] <daishi__> oo k
[03:17] <daishi__> thanks
[03:17] <dougsko> daishi__: that is if you already defined your essid for wlan0
[03:17] <dougsko> daishi__: iwconfig wlan0 essid <ssid>

[03:21] <freebse> yahoo does not use POP or IMAP as far as I know, maybe they changed this now, but they did not when I tried to use it, same with MSN

[03:21] <thybo_> it does exist in outlook express

[03:22] <Kyral_Laptop> Ronz: s/symantec/synaptic :P
[03:22] <dougsko> cordex: dont use azareus, it uses crazy amount of RAM and java sucks. use bittornado, its lightweight and fast
[03:23] <gregory> i did that, and then it says connecting to some site but it doesnt pass there..
[03:23] <Kyral_Laptop> gregory: and learn the command line
[03:23] <Kyral_Laptop> gregory: the archives might be slow
[03:23] <Ronz> Kyral_Laptop, sorry...haven't had any caffeine today. =(
[03:23] <jordanau> i like plain ole bittorrent
[03:23] <Tomcat_> cordex: I agree, better ask in #azureus
[03:23] <cordex> hmmmm could bittornado multiple downloads?
[03:23] <codecaine> is it possible using cal to get the juilan date of just one day instead of showing the juilan for all the days in that month?
[03:23] <dougsko> cordex: yes...
[03:23] <Kyral_Laptop> codecaine: man cal :P
[03:23] <codecaine> yea didn't see it
[03:23] <cordex> k
[03:24] <Kyral_Laptop> ah nm then

[03:24] <Kyral_Laptop> :P
[03:24] <soundray> codecaine: man date
[03:24] <dougsko> jordanau: yeah bittornado is very simliar to bittorrent, i just like it a little better
[03:24] <cordex> and where or how i can get this? i have ubuntu linux since yesterday :(
[03:24] <freebse> ktorrent so allright as well
[03:24] <dougsko> sudo apt-get install bittornado

[03:25] <Ronz> is there a flash version >= 8 for linux?
[03:25] <jordanau> :(
[03:25] <Kyral_Laptop> Transmission is nice too
[03:25] <dougsko> jordanau: beat ya :)
[03:25] <Kyral_Laptop> dunno if its in the repos :P
[03:25] <cordex> hehe
[03:25] <soundray> Ronz: no, but I heard that Adobe have promised one
[03:25] <cordex> very big thx
[03:25] <cordex> :D
[03:25] <Ronz> awesome
[03:26] <jordanau> dougsko, i typed "in" and it tab and it messed me up
[03:26] <jordanau> it/hit
[03:26] <russ> hey dudes!
[03:26] <dougsko> jordanau: lol yeah, you'll have that
[03:26] <Tomcat_> Ronz: No, but 9 will come out for Linux afaik
[03:26] <russ> ubuntu is African for my ass hurts!
[03:26] <jordanau> !language
[03:26] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[03:26] <Rea_> Did anyone had following problem during installation:  Alternative CD because of older PC, It just hangs up during Base System Installation but not always on same place/percentage. First time it was on 32% then on 60%, now o 83%...  It just doesnt do anything any more. The hard disk LED is ON, but i dont hear it working... dead still
[03:27] <soundray> russ: no, it means "I can't configure Debian"
[03:27] <PyroManiak> Anyone have experience using Abyss web server in ubuntu?
[03:27] <JackONeill> When I boot up it says 'xubuntu' but I now use gnome - can i make it say ubuntu? or something else perhaps?
[03:27] <Flannel> Rea_: re-burn the CD (and verify the ISO's MD5) at a slower speed (like 4x)
[03:27] <dapperdork> ive got a pcmcia wireless card that says it is fully supported, yet it will just not work.
[03:27] <NemesisUK> soundray, lmao
[03:27] <deitarion> In Synaptic, what's the difference between removal and complete removal?
[03:27] <dougsko> JackONeill: when is it saying this?
[03:27] <Flannel> deitarion: complete removes config files as well
[03:27] <JackONeill> dougsko, at boot up
[03:27] <dougsko> exactly
[03:27] <freebse> Rea_: can happen when the CDROM is old and got problems with burned CDs
[03:27] <Rea_> Flannel: ok i try this, this was burned at 8x
[03:28] <soundray> JackONeill: configure usplash
[03:28] <JackONeill> soundray, how?
[03:28] <dougsko> in grub, the splash screen, where, theres lots of stuff going on during boot up
[03:28] <soundray> !usplash
[03:28] <ubotu> usplash is the start-up splash (before GNOME/KDE appears) in Ubuntu. To customize it, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/USplashCustomizationHowto
[03:28] <Rea_> thx. I try another CDROM...
[03:28] <JackONeill> thanx
[03:28] <JackONeill> Anyone know how to get rid of the ubuntu logo for the gnome main menu icon? maybe put the gnome foot back?
[03:29] <Ronz> thats good Tomcat_ . im starting to miss the ocasional brainless flash movie  =)
[03:29] <Tomcat_> Ronz: I often use Flash and haven't had many problems using 7 :)
[03:29] <thybo_> my problem is not solvable i guess :(
[03:29] <Tomcat_> Ronz: Of course there are sites that require 8... :o
[03:29] <Luck> Hot to play video with subtitles in Totem? I have same names of files.
[03:29] <Luck> totem file:///file.avi#subtitle:file.srt     no go.
[03:30] <Ronz> and 9
[03:30] <Kyral_Laptop> Totem sucks, use Xine :P
[03:30] <Tomcat_> Luck: It should be loaded automatically...
[03:30] <dougsko> VLC all the way
[03:30] <thybo_> xine suks use vlc
[03:30] <thybo_> ;p
[03:30] <freebse> mplayer rules :)
[03:30] <Tomcat_> Ronz: 9? Is that even out in Windows?
[03:30] <dougsko> nothing beats it
[03:30] <thybo_> way to go dougsko;d
[03:30] <Ronz> Tomcat_, yes
[03:30] <Tomcat_> goddamnit... they don't even change it in Windows. :>
[03:30] <Luck> Tomcat_: In this video no.
[03:31] <Ronz> mplayer ftw
[03:31] <Necro> noob question, and i apologize for that. But how do I unrestrict the system folders so that I can edit files?
[03:31] <freebse> Ronz: na it is the best
[03:31] <Tomcat_> Necro: "unrestrict"? You mean change the permissions?
[03:31] <soundray> Necro: you don't. Use sudo to edit system files:
[03:31] <soundray> !sudo
[03:31] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[03:31] <Tomcat_> Necro: You should *not* do that. :o
[03:31] <Ronz> ftw = for the win = mplayer > all
[03:32] <neutrinomass> Necro: You don't need to do that... just use 'sudo' (to start a command line program) or 'gksudo' (to start a graphical program) with administrator (root) privilleges
[03:32] <dougsko> Necro: use sudo to do things as root
[03:32] <lxe> Necro: use gksu nautilus to edit system files
[03:32] <Necro> well lets say i want to manually dump plug-ins for firefox...
[03:32] <cafuego> If you didn't use windows, you wouldn't need a decent windows video player.
[03:32] <DarthShrine> That's annoying...Libtiff gives a 404 for apt-get
[03:32] <freebse> I would install mc
[03:32] <lxe> this opens a root nautilus window from which you can do all kinds of crazy thigns to files
[03:32] <soundray> Necro: put them in your $HOME/.firefox/.../plugins/ directory
[03:32] <Luck> I will get message: Totem couldnt play file:///file.avi#subtitle:file.sub
[03:33] <dougsko> cafuego: even if you do use windows, theres stil VLC w00t!
[03:33] <soundray> Necro: sry, by "dump", did you mean delete?
[03:33] <lxe> somebody talking about a media player?
[03:33] <Necro> no, copy/paste./
[03:33] <lxe> quod libet - the best thing ever
[03:33] <dougsko> Necro: you can just do a 'cat <file>' to make it print to the screen
[03:34] <Tomcat_> Yeah and we absolutely need more suggestions for good media players. ;D
[03:34] <snadge> how do i change where the ubuntu upgrade procedure gets its data from?? the default  location is not free traffic for me.. and i've found a mirror
[03:34] <cordex> doug i couldnt use bittornado for multiple downloads, it opens for every torrent a new bt client
[03:34] <Tomcat_> snadge: /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:34] <dougsko> Necro: or use 'nano <file>' , then jusy copy paste from there
[03:34] <lxe> Necro: alt-f2. gksu nautilus. copy paste all you want
[03:34] <cordex> is that normaly?
[03:34] <Tomcat_> snadge: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list to edit it
[03:34] <dougsko> Necro: you dont even need sudo anything to copy/paste
[03:34] <dougsko> you can do that as a regular user
[03:35] <snadge> tomcat: thanks.. i didnt know it used sources.list, but that makes sense
[03:35] <tanlaan> Grr, gdm still failed to start
[03:35] <soundray> dougsko: please understand his problem before you give advice
[03:35] <x-Dieu> trR :)
[03:35] <Necro> i find its easier just to put sudo in front of anything i do, in case i might need it.
[03:35] <lxe> dougsko: if you are pasting into a folder where you have no write privileges?
[03:35] <dougsko> yeah sorry, i might have been a little off. im at work too
[03:35] <Flannel> Necro: that's a bad idea
[03:35] <Necro> easier than retyping
[03:35] <Tomcat_> Necro: Bad idea security-wise
[03:35] <soundray> Hi x-Dieu. What an entry...
[03:35] <djk_> x-Dieu: bissel weniger Benjamin Blmchen wrd nich schaden...
[03:35] <Flannel> Necro: push 'up' then 'home' then type 'sudo ' if you DO need it

[03:36] <x-Dieu> oh, sorry :)
[03:36] <lxe> i think restricting system files with password that you provide yourself in the beginning in the installation is the dumbest thing in linux in general
[03:36] <Flannel> lxe: it's not restricting those files with the passwords.  Its restricting you administration rights
[03:36] <Necro> if you're running a box with multiple users its a good idea.
[03:37] <Tomcat_> lxe: Are you RMS? :)
[03:37] <dougsko> lxe: no, sorry, i thought he was just trying to copy/paste a privileged file to somewhere like a pastebin. my reply was a little off, i apoligize
[03:37] <lxe> yeah i know
[03:37] <tanlaan> soundray: hey
[03:37] <Flannel> lxe: If you change your user password, you sudo password changes.
[03:37] <soundray> tanlaan: how are you getting on?
[03:37] <tanlaan> soundray: irssi
[03:37] <soundray> tanlaan: har har
[03:37] <tanlaan> soundray: I know how to use the console :D
[03:38] <lxe> yeah i know. but what is the point of having root privileges for the most of your computer in the first place?
[03:38] <tanlaan> soundray: use the console luke, use the console...
[03:38] <Flannel> lxe: what?
[03:38] <Tomcat_> lxe: I don't need root privs for the most of my computer :)
[03:38] <thybo_> I use a Yahoo account.
[03:38] <thybo_> In this yahoo accounts i have several folders that i use, to manage my files, but also to receive emails that arrive directly into these folders, so that my inbox isn't overflowed all the time.
[03:38] <thybo_> Is there an option in evolution to check those folders allong with the inbox folder?
[03:38] <soundray> tanlaan: I mean, are you making progress towards getting X up and running on your dated Mac
[03:38] <thybo_> thanks in advance :)
[03:38] <Tomcat_> lxe: What kind of system are you running? :P
[03:38] <lxe> ubuntu
[03:38] <fivre> lxe: imagine trying to use WinXP Home's limited accounts
[03:39] <snadge> thers a bug in ubuntus update system.. you click cancel about 50,000 times.. and it just keeps on going
[03:39] <Tomcat_> thybo_: If Yahoo supports POP or IMAP or there is some kind of Yahoo2POP/IMAP converter, then yes.
[03:39] <tanlaan> soundray: Ok I did what you said, no go gdm still didnt start up *as in it failed* I'
[03:39] <lxe> /etc/ is rooted /usr/ is rooted by default. root login is disabled by default. why?
[03:39] <tanlaan> soundray: grr
[03:39] <Flannel> thybo_: I think theres a scraper you can get, yeah.
[03:39] <Tomcat_> lxe: Because it's a bad idea to let anyone edit system files?
[03:39] <Flannel> lxe: because you don't need 'root' accounts, sudo mediates that.
[03:39] <lxe> well in windows i am the admin, and i do whatever i want
[03:40] <tanlaan> soundray: Ok I did what you said, no go gdm still didnt start up *as in it failed* I'm trying to figure out whats different between now and before when i had it installed
[03:40] <thybo_> with evolution?
[03:40] <soundray> tanlaan: have you looked at the logs? tail /var/log/Xorg.0.log often telss you something
[03:40] <snadge> lxe: thats right.. ubuntu should make decisions based upon how windows does things..
[03:40] <Tomcat_> lxe: Yes. Still, bad idea. :)
[03:40] <lxe> that's four extra letters to type everytime i need to do something. (+ my own password)
[03:40] <soundray> *tells
[03:40] <dapperdork> I get this when I 'sudo ifup wlan0' 'DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7'  I think that should be 255.255.255.0   ive tried adding 'netmask 255.255.255.0' but that didnt solve it.
[03:40] <steveO_> lxe: so do sudo passwd root
[03:40] <steveO_> i think that allows you to set a root pw
[03:40] <Jack_Sparrow> IS there a way to manually select or de-select different screensavers..?
[03:40] <Flannel> lxe: right, which meansanything you run (accidentally, read: email, webpages, etc) has access to ANYTHING it wants as well
[03:40] <Flannel> steveO_: theres no reason to set a root password
[03:40] <soundray> dapperdork: no, the broadcast address it tries is just fine.
[03:40] <tanlaan> soundray: ill go check it and get back to you
[03:40] <steveO_> Flannel: well, like him.. I'd rather su - and be root.
[03:41] <Tomcat_> lxe: If it's too complicated you can always do "sudo chown -R myuser.myuser /*"... (DON'T!)
[03:41] <steveO_> then not type sudo every time.
[03:41] <tanlaan> soundray: seeya
[03:41] <Flannel> steveO_: no, he's not talking about suing to root, he's talking about being root, all the time
[03:41] <soundray> tanlaan: get back to the channel instead - I'm off soon
[03:41] <lxe> yeah well i am a single user on the system. why should i have to enter my own password everytime.
[03:41] <tanlaan> soundray: ok
[03:41] <lxe> is there a way to disable root password?
[03:41] <tanlaan> soundray: well have a nice day
[03:41] <Jack_Sparrow> lxe: Not advised
[03:41] <Flannel> lxe: Yes.  But you're shooting yourself in the foot.
[03:41] <tanlaan> soundray: bye
[03:41] <lxe> how so?
[03:41] <soundray> tanlaan: cheerio
[03:42] <DarthShrine> How does one set an environment variable?
[03:42] <Necro> he has a point though. i live alone, so no one else is going to be using my computer
[03:42] <Flannel> lxe: For the same reasons windows has so many problems.
[03:42] <codecaine> why on ubuntu every type of movie you try to play on mplayer the sound its off with the video
[03:42] <lxe> no seriously. i dont need a password against myself
[03:42] <Tomcat_> codecaine: Off? You mean desynched?
[03:42] <alienseer23> is there in anterface for wine, like cedega?
[03:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Necro: IF he is going to use it on the internet ... he has millions of room mates
[03:43] <soundray> lxe: there are reasons for having a password, other than protecting you from yourself
[03:43] <codecaine> yes
[03:43] <Flannel> lxe: not *you* the programs you run, like XChat, or irssi, or webpages, or email.  THEY have access to all files
[03:43] <gorodek> is it possible to permantly remove the encryption of a dm-crypted disk?
[03:43] <Flannel> lxe: a single hole in anything you run, can allow them to root your box, if youre running as root/have access to everything
[03:44] <lxe> Flannel: yeah i guess you are right
[03:44] <soundray> gorodek: I saw you ask this before. I think you have to copy the files off to another device
[03:44] <Flannel> Necro: you too, as you're interested in this topic.
[03:44] <lxe> so still does passwd -d root work?
[03:44] <lxe> lol i guess it does
[03:45] <lxe> hack me everyone
[03:45] <gorodek> soundray, is there no other solution, because i have no free disk space to use it as a swap space.
[03:46] <Flannel> lxe: it disables your 'root' account, not makes it so anyone can login.
[03:46] <Flannel> lxe: you still need to do the whole sudo thing
[03:46] <thybo_> gbye to all good night
[03:46] <Flannel> lxe: a disabled root password is how ubuntu starts out
[03:46] <Rippon> How do I update the Kernel?
[03:46] <dapperdork> man, ndiswrapper says "driver present, hardware present" but I can't for the life of me get this card to work.
[03:46] <soundray> gorodek: I'm not an expert, but I think the best way is to borrow an external drive to store the files temporarily, then copy them back from there.
[03:46] <dougsko> Rippon: there are packeges you can just install
[03:46] <lxe> yeah but i dont have to enter the password
[03:46] <Tomcat_> Rippon: apt-get dist-upgrade :o
[03:47] <soundray> dapperdork: have you loaded the ndiswrapper kernel module with 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper'?
[03:47] <Jack_Sparrow> IS there a way to manually select or de-select multiple screensavers..?
[03:47] <gorodek> soundray, thanks for your help. it seems to be the most easiest and most secure way.
[03:48] <dapperdork> soundray, affirmative. its listed in the networking dialog and everything. no signal strength.
[03:48] <snadge> is there any difference between running the ubuntu update process and manually running apt-get dist-upgrade?
[03:48] <Tomcat_> snadge: The Ubuntu Update Process will run apt-get update before. But no.
[03:48] <soundray> gorodek: with the direct approach, you risk overwriting data before it gets decrypted.
[03:48] <Rippon> Well, I need to "revert" to a kernel
[03:49] <Rippon> I tried making my own
[03:49] <Rippon> but it didnt work
[03:49] <malefactor> Guys, is it ok that I'm getting "/usr/sbin/pppd: In file /etc/ppp/peers/quadra: unrecognized option 'mppe'" when trying to establish some kind of pptp connection?
[03:49] <Rippon> so I owuld like to download all the stuff for the last noe
[03:49] <Tamale> HEY EVERYONE.. I'M GONNA BE ON FOX NEWS IN 10 MINUTES
[03:49] <Tamale> TRUE STORY
[03:50] <Rippon> what story
[03:50] <Flannel> Tamale: #ubuntu-offtopic, not here.
[03:50] <Tamale> sorry, just had to tell someone  :)
[03:50] <Rippon> For what?
[03:50] <soundray> Rippon: select an older kernel to boot from the grub menu, then uninstall your own kernel. That should get your previous kernel back.
[03:50] <malefactor> pppd -should- understand the `mppe' option, no? (if anyone aware of the thing)
[03:50] <dapperdork> soundray, and when i say 'np signal' I dont mean because the AP is too far away. im sitting next to it.
[03:50] <Rippon> ok
[03:50] <soundray> malefactor: yes
[03:50] <malefactor> So, how come it doesn't (Ubuntu installed from Live CD >.>)?
[03:51] <Rippon> wait, how do I uninstall the old kernel?
[03:51] <Necro> hmm. i tried to install Flash 7, but it says it is not compatable with amd64 archetecture.
[03:51] <Rippon> because I tried to make this one, which is blahblahblah-k7-custom
[03:51] <Flannel> Rippon: via apt(whatever frontend), once you have a new one installed
[03:51] <ardchoille> I'd like to learn how to properly uninstall old kernels too
[03:51] <Necro> am I SOL on that one?
[03:51] <soundray> malefactor: you may have to run 'sudo modprobe ppp_mppe'
[03:51] <Rippon> and so I went to reinstall VMware
[03:52] <Tomcat_> Necro: SOL?
[03:52] <Rippon> and my kernel headers and kernel dont match
[03:52] <malefactor> soundray: I did that - no effect
[03:52] <Rippon> or C headers I mean
[03:52] <Tomcat_> Necro: But yeah, it doesn't work on amd64. Adobe won't do it.
[03:52] <Necro> SOL "Shit, Out of Luck
[03:52] <soundray> Necro: read the stuff that Kilz wrote on the forums
[03:52] <Tomcat_> Necro: You can install a 32bit Firefox and stuff..
[03:52] <Jessehk> With both repositories in my sources.list for Xgl and compiz, apt can't seem to find gset-compiz . Where is it?
[03:53] <Flannel> Jessehk: #ubuntu-xgl for XGL related support
[03:53] <malefactor> soundray: do you know whether the DVD image of Ubuntu 6.06 includes 'pptpclient' packet?
[03:53] <Werdna> Hi guys. I can't connect to a freenx server --> http://thestonepedo.pastebin.ca/99690
[03:53] <Jessehk> Flannel, okie dokie. Thanks :)
[03:53] <soundray> malefactor: I know that it doesn't
[03:54] <malefactor> soundray: Crap... any -easy- way to get it?
[03:54] <Tonren> Hey guys, my wireless was definitely working at my house an hour ago, but I'm at a friend's house now and it's not picking up the wireless network.  Windows picked it up fine (I'm booted into windows on the same computer right now)
[03:54] <freebse> Jessehk: edit apt sources and add :
[03:54] <Tonren> Can anyone suggest what might be up?
[03:54] <freebse> deb http://www.beerorkid.com/compiz dapper main
[03:54] <freebse> deb http://media.blutkind.org/xgl/ dapper main
[03:54] <freebse> deb http://ubuntu.compiz.net/ dapper main
[03:54] <bb|Gishnob> You need to be identified to join that channel
[03:54] <soundray> malefactor: I downloaded the .deb provided by the pptpclient developer and installed it with dpkg -i
[03:54] <bb|Gishnob> what does that mean?
[03:55] <freebse> only one, not all three :)
[03:55] <Tonren> I did sudo modprobe bcm32xx, sudo ifconfig eth0 down; sudo ifconfig eth1 up; sudo iwconfig eth1 rate 11M; sudo iwconfig eth1 ap any;
[03:55] <malefactor> soundray: thanks, but... where do I get the .deb?
[03:55] <Rippon> ok
[03:55] <soundray> Rippon: did you install your custom kernel via dpkg?
[03:55] <Rippon> thanks
[03:55] <Tomcat_> Tonren: Do you find it in iwlist scan?

[03:58] <soundray> !tell mclaud about sudo
[03:58] <freebse> Jessehk: well apt-get it then
[03:58] <soundray> mclaud: look for the message from ubotu
[03:58] <malefactor> soundray: is it possible that pppd provided with Ubuntu 6.06 is outdated enough so it simply doesn't support the 'mppd' option?
[03:58] <Tonren> Tomcat_: any ideas?
[03:58] <james296_> why cant I use the Uninstall menu in the right click menu when I have Automatix to uninstall programs?
[03:58] <soundray> malefactor: no, it worked here.
[03:58] <Werdna> !tell me about sudo
[03:59] <Tomcat_> Tonren: Nope... it should at least be in iwlist scan as <hidden>... :o
[03:59] <ardchoille> james296_: automatix is off topic in here
[03:59] <james296_> ok
[03:59] <james296_> sorry
[03:59] <brandon_> awesome. gnome has very nearly used ap all of my memory in a mere 2 hours. it's a new record
[03:59] <soundray> james296_: automatix is broken in many ways -- so badly that your chances of getting help for it are poor.

[03:59] <Tonren> Tomcat_: crap...
[04:00] <Tonren> Tomcat_: Could Linux just utilize the wireless network detection less effectively?
[04:00] <malefactor> soundray: last thing to ask: where do I put 'modprobe ppp-mppd' line in order to get it executed at the system startup (something like '/etc/conf.d/local.start')?
[04:00] <Jessehk> freebse, I've been searching for the past 3 hours, and I've looked through that thread. But thanks.
[04:00] <soundray> malefactor: you don't -- you just add a line with the module name to /etc/modules
[04:00] <Tomcat_> Tonren: The Linux drivers for wireless lan are sometimes less effective, yes...
[04:00] <malefactor> soundray: ah, alright...
[04:00] <Tonren> Tomcat_: Lame... that's like, totally lame.  :(
[04:01] <freebse> Jessehk: well it is working

[04:02] <dapperdork> is i t ok that my wireless and ethernet are sharing IRQ 11 ? i read somewhere this is a problem.
[04:02] <dapperdork> well, i should say, COULD be a problem
[04:02] <verbose> dapperdork: that shouldn't cause problems with noew hardware
[04:02] <Tomcat_> Tonren: Well, as I said, I doubt that's the problem... in earlier Ubuntu versions I had the problem that Ubuntu would lose the connection when Windows still had a very weak one... but not anymore anyway.
[04:02] <adminx> excuse me progress
[04:02] <sharms> Jessehk: you need to include more information, like your gdm.conf and your gnome script that sets up the xgl variables.
[04:02] <mclaud> I finished to install UBUNTU, during install it nao it asked for the password to me of root, asked for only password of the user, now nao I know which and the password of root therefore it nao asked for to me in installl whats password ROOTTTTTTT :::

[04:05] <fildo> anyways to continue apt-get if u kill the process half way , or connection drops out ?
[04:05] <sanmarcos> lufis, no
[04:05] <sanmarcos> lufis, put them back
[04:05] <lufis> sanmarcos: Damnit.
[04:05] <Jessehk> sharms, All that information is in the link that I posted in my thread. It's what I followed to install
[04:05] <sanmarcos> lufis, honestly if you dont know what you are doing, dont touch it
[04:05] <kitsuneofdoom> Ok, I've been trying to get the ATi drivers running, and, by using ATi's package, it actually seems to work, but fglrxinfo says it can't find a GLX visual and quits Ubuntu 6.06, ATi Radeon 200M. Note, the official packages do not work.
[04:05] <lufis> sanmarcos: That's the problem, I can't remember what I changed
[04:06] <sanmarcos> lufis, you should read about sys v init services
[04:06] <slid3r> anyone congure gkrellm to check email?
[04:06] <Necro> okay, so i pop into my Synaptic Package Manager and "W: Couldn't stat source package list cdrom://" pops up...
[04:06] <sharms> Jessehk: if you followed the thread, it would be working.  Didn't that occur to you?
[04:06] <kitsuneofdoom> That is, the official Ubuntu packages
[04:06] <Necro> why is it looking to my CD-rom for updates?
[04:06] <fildo> cause Necro you have to comment it out in the source.list
[04:07] <sanmarcos> Necro, because it set up in your sources.list
[04:07] <sanmarcos> !repositories > Necro
[04:07] <sharms> Jessehk: In the time you wasted justifying why you shouldn't post what I asked, you could have just posted what I ask.  Good luck.
[04:07] <dapperdork> verbose, ive got a lainsys pcmcia card here that is giving me huge headaches. nothing works. there is a native driver that has to be built, so tahts out of the question. and ive tried three different ndiswrapper tutorials and still nothing. i can get the card in the prefs/networking dialog, but i just canNOT connect. its really frustrating.  The strange part is that last night while following one tutorial i was able to use a camman
[04:07] <dapperdork> d ( I cant remember, somethingscan, like iwscan, but thats not it) and it showed my AP in the console. Signal strenghth and all. said it was encrypted and such. So i know its working, just wont ... work.
[04:07] <Necro> thats what i thought, but last time i pulled that line out of my sources.list, i looked and the repositories were all gone.
[04:08] <freebse> Jessehk: you can also take any other how-to like http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=232883 - buit they are all the same
[04:08] <lostinc> Hello room!
[04:08] <sanmarcos> Necro, read what i've sent you
[04:08] <verbose> dapperdork: if ndiswrapper -l shows the card, the driver is working correctly
[04:08] <fildo> dont pull it out use " # " to comment it out
[04:08] <verbose> is it using wep or wpa?
[04:08] <soundray> sharms: my impression is that *you* are the one who wasted Jessehk's time.
[04:08] <dapperdork> it does
[04:08] <fildo> haha
[04:08] <dapperdork> verbose, wep. tried ascii and hex
[04:08] <verbose> dapperdork: how about disabling wep on the router and trying it
[04:09] <verbose> dapperdork: just to see if it will connect at all
[04:09] <Tonren> fildo: I did sudo ifconfig eth0 down before i activated it
[04:09] <verbose> dapperdork: then we can mess with the security
[04:09] <Jessehk> soundray, I'd agree. If there is any information that would be available that isn't already posted somewhere, I would be happy to provide it.
[04:09] <Jessehk> I'm very frustrated at this point.
[04:10] <Werdna> anybody here know anything about NX?

[04:11] <kirsten> i was browsing on firefox
[04:11] <sanmarcos> kirsten, and? what happened?
[04:11] <kirsten> and suddenly the OS stopped responding
[04:11] <cafuego> ctrl-alt-F1, see if you can log in and kill the crashed app.
[04:11] <soundray> sharms: sorry, I got it wrong and I apologize.
[04:11] <sanmarcos> kirsten, if you cant switch to a virtual terminal, just hard reboot
[04:11] <cafuego> kirsten: If you can;t get to a terminal, hit the reset button on the computer.
[04:11] <sanmarcos> kirsten, try checking num lock, if it doenst hcange, you fscked it
[04:11] <freebse> kirsten: xkill and move the cursor over the crashed application to end it
[04:12] <azureal> hi.. i just randomly did df....and discovered partitions that i don't remember creating.... namely varrun, varlock, udev, devshm, and lrm...why are they here?
[04:12] <soundray> Too tired. Good night guys and girls
[04:12] <Tomcat_> sanmarcos: You can also try just using the power off button and wait a minute... then see if it shut down.
[04:12] <cafuego> kirsten: linux is somewhat more forgiving with just turning it off that certain other OSes
[04:12] <Tomcat_> Eh... kirsten, not sanmarcos.
[04:12] <sanmarcos> cafuego, ext3 is
[04:12] <fildo> should have used opera
[04:13] <cafuego> sanmarcos: ext2 as well; it may need a big fsck, but that generally ends well.
[04:13] <Daishi> oo btw my battery notification worked in dapper but doesnt in breezy (even with a patched dsdt that SHOULD work)...any way to get some sort of backport of whatever it is that determines battery?
[04:13] <Daishi> acpi stuff?
[04:13] <eugman> Does anyone here know how to use UCK? I'm having a slight problem with it and i don't know how to fic it.

[04:19] <Jessehk> sharms, where should I post it?
[04:19] <Jessehk> here?

[04:21] <rixth> How do I get OpenOffice to recognize the fonts I have put in ~/.fonts? All the Gnome software can see & use them. Does OO.org have a different font folder?

[04:22] <verbose> harisund: that should do it
[04:22] <rixth> One would think that chould come automatically
[04:22] <FantasticFoo> what was that package called again, that installed all the crap you need to compile stuff from source? (gcc, etc.)
[04:22] <searayman> sharms:  is there no apt-get for it?
[04:23] <wims> FantasticFoo, build-essential
[04:23] <FantasticFoo> wims: thanks!
[04:23] <sharms> searayman: there is but that version is broken
[04:23] <harisund> verbose, then I intend to get the packages I need either manually (as in compile from source, or download the 'latest' binary from the web) and so on .. just like a regular Windows XP installation procedure.
[04:23] <verbose> dapperdork: does iwconfig wlan0 show that it's associated? or no link?
[04:23] <searayman> sharms:  so can u help me configure the .tar one?

[04:24] <alienseer23> help! my panels have crashed and I can't access anything!
[04:24] <harisund> wait, verbose do you think Fireox will have some gnome related dependancies that a mere window manager and xserver might not have?

[04:24] <dapperdork> verbose, show is not working
[04:24] <sanmarcos> alienseer23, just run gnome-panel again from a terminal

[04:25] <alienseer23> I log on and get this message right away "I've detected a panel already running and will now exit"
[04:25] <harisund> Is there just a gnome package? Instead of ubuntu desktop, I just want gnome, not all of ubuntu-desktop.
[04:25] <alienseer23> gnome-panel?
[04:25] <verbose> dapperdork: just do iwconfig wlan0 or whatever the wireless NIC is called
[04:25] <searayman> ardchoille:  ok i will give it a try then thanks!

[04:25] <searayman> sharms:  ardchoille said it works from the repos
[04:25] <sanmarcos> pregier, that is a panel shortcut
[04:26] <alienseer23> alt f2 isn't working either
[04:26] <harisund> verbose is there a gnome packavge on Ubuntu? Just gnome, not ubuntu-desktop
[04:26] <pregier> is it?
[04:26] <dapperdork> verbose, laptop
[04:26] <sharms> searayman: ok well try it first, but i had some time sync issues, so if it doesnt work try the on I suggest
[04:26] <dapperdork> its pcmcia
[04:26] <ardchoille> searayman: Just because a package in the repos didn't work well on someone else's system doesn't mean it won't work on your system.
[04:26] <pregier> then switch to a text terminal, 'DISPLAY=:0 gnome-terminal'
[04:26] <kirsten> sorry, I tried that Ctrl+Alt+F1 suggestion someone posted, but I couldn't figure out how to get out of the terminal and had to reboot :(
[04:26] <verbose> dapperdork: are you sure the card is enabled? like, does it have a button on it to disable/enable the wireless, sometimes it's a key combination as well
[04:26] <wims> alienseer23, try ctrl+alt+f1, and then ctrl+alt+f7 to come back to the gui

[04:27] <Flannel> harisund: there is a gnome package.  in fact, it's called "gnome-desktop-environment" or, "gnome" (universe) is similar
[04:27] <freebse> harisund: use the debian archive - you can get a gnome package there, I don't think there is one in ubuntu without all this stuff
[04:27] <alienseer23> I can browse!
[04:27] <dapperdork> verbose, ya, its a real cunumdrum. its a pcmcia card, no switches. just pops in. acts like its wokring. but its not.
[04:27] <alienseer23> desktop icons still work
[04:27] <searayman> ardchoille:  it didnt find it
[04:27] <searayman> ardchoille: mike@mike-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install Istanbul
[04:27] <searayman> Password:
[04:27] <searayman> Reading package lists... Done
[04:27] <searayman> Building dependency tree... Done
[04:27] <searayman> E: Couldn't find package Istanbul
[04:27] <searayman> mike@mike-desktop:~$
[04:27] <harisund> freebse are you serious? Ubuntu doesn't have a simple gnome package? I sure hope Flannel is right.. :D
[04:27] <freebse> harisund: then sorry, there is
[04:28] <kirsten> do you need antivirus software for ubuntu?
[04:28] <Flannel> harisund: of course I'm right. :P
[04:28] <ardchoille> searayman: Enable the universe repo, do sudo apt-get update and try again
[04:28] <freebse> harisund: listen to Flannel
[04:28] <searayman> ardchoille:  i should have it on already
[04:28] <harisund> hehe .. yeah .. so Flannel what about for KDE?
[04:28] <Flannel> harisund: http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/gnome/gnome-desktop-environment or http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/gnome/gnome
[04:28] <rixth> sanmarcos, I know about that. Non-free formats (mov, wmv etc) play fine. But the free ones do not.
[04:28] <ardchoille> searayman: Istanbul is different from Istanbul
[04:28] <ardchoille> it's case-sensitive
[04:29] <alienseer23> is there a place in the filesystem from which I can open a terminal?
[04:29] <minerale> Hi, I need to connect to a work vpn ( windows vpn ) what package do I need ?
[04:29] <ardchoille> searayman: sudo apt-get istanbul
[04:29] <pregier> kisrten:  nope, but if you want one, try clamav
[04:29] <Jessehk> sharms, how's this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1369827#post1369827
[04:29] <harisund> awesome Flannel thanks for that .. I am going to try it out on my AMD64 laptop.. also is there a place where I can see what all comes with the ubuntu-desktop meta package?
[04:29] <dapperdork> verbose, the lights on the thing flash and all. like its working.
[04:29] <Flannel> harisund: kde is the package name in universe, and kde-core is the one in main.
[04:29] <searayman> ardchoille:  lol thanks i should have know that i just copied the title name from there websiet so it was capitalized
[04:29] <sanmarcos> rixth, read what I sent you
[04:30] <verbose> dapperdork: i don't know...pretty weird
[04:30] <ardchoille> searayman: ;)
[04:30] <Flannel> harisund: yeah.  Apt can show you, the web is a bit easier to read (and traverse) http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/base/ubuntu-desktop
[04:30] <sanmarcos> minerale, the gnome network thing should have a wizard
[04:30] <verbose> dapperdork: can you find any resources online using your exact card?
[04:30] <sharms> Jessehk: ATI or Nvidia?
[04:30] <Jessehk> sharms, Nvidia
[04:30] <harisund> thanks a ton Flannel .. they will be present for amd64 to, right?
[04:30] <dapperdork> verbose, brb
[04:30] <pregier> does anyone here know what happened to the em28xx drivers in the edgy kernel?
[04:31] <Flannel> harisund: that's the page for all, if you scroll ALL the way down, it'll mention archs
[04:31] <searayman> ardchoille:  ok so now i have it installed how do i use it?
[04:31] <sharms> Jessehk: I know you read the bottom of the page with the link to setting up compiz right?  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/InstallingCompiz
[04:31] <searayman> ardchoille:  how do i use it?
[04:31] <harisund> Flannel the reason I want just the gnome-desktop-env package, because I am assuming it will be less in size and won't come with some extra stuff like bluetooth and stuff
[04:32] <visik7> anyone know where I can find docs on how to get installation via ubiquity unattended ?
[04:32] <ardchoille> searayman: If it isn't in the menus, run it from a term. An icon will show in the notification area of your panel
[04:32] <Rippon> I updated the Kernel, and now on the updated one my Wireless device isnt on the networt connections list
[04:32] <Rippon> so I have no interent
[04:32] <Jessehk> sharms, unless I missed something, yes.
[04:32] <Rippon> and on the old one I have internet but other stuff is messed
[04:32] <Flannel> harisund: not sure about bluetooth and stuff liek that, but it will be lighter, as it's used in the U-D package, in addition to all the ubuntu tweaks.  just "gnome" however, may not be lighter, as it includes a lot of other stuff (that ubuntu has swapped out for other things, etc).
[04:33] <searayman> ardchoille:  i ran it and it put a red dot on my gnome thing and i clickd it now what?
[04:33] <kirsten> I have another question: I'm using ubuntu on a laptop with a touchpad.  In windows, i can scroll up/down on documents and web pages with the touchpad.  Is there a similar utility avalable for ubuntu?
[04:33] <harisund> Flannel so which would be the lightest?
[04:33] <searayman> ardchoille: and it turned into a grey square
[04:33] <harisund> gnome-desktop-environment?
[04:33] <wims> Rippon,  do you use ndiswrapper ?
[04:33] <sharms> Jessehk: you ran this right: compiz --replace gconf decoration wobbly fade minimize cube rotate zoom scale move resize place switcher trailfocus water bs neg &
[04:33] <visik7> kirsten: theorically should just works
[04:34] <visik7> kritical: I've 2 laptop with synaptic and it works
[04:34] <kirsten> theorically?
[04:34] <Jessehk> sharms, thanks for the help, and I apologise for earlier. I might have just found the solution. I'll let you know in a sec.
[04:34] <ardchoille> searayman: that means it's running. click it again to stop it.
[04:34] <Rippon> no
[04:34] <Rippon> I dont use ndiswrapper
[04:34] <kirsten> i have a dell inspiron 1300
[04:34] <wims> Rippon,  ok, then i don't knwo
[04:34] <Rippon> it is atheros and normally works out of box
[04:34] <sharms> Jessehk: also if you are on AMD64 then gset-compiz doesn't exist
[04:34] <searayman> ardchoille:  when i click it again it dont change from a grey dot back to a red dot...
[04:34] <searayman> ardchoille: dose red mean its recording?
[04:34] <Flannel> harisund: gnome-desktop-environment is lightest.  both gnome, and u-d use it
[04:35] <harisund> Flannel awesome thanks a lot. I am going to give it a try.
[04:35] <searayman> ardchoille:  where dose it record too?
[04:36] <harisund> Flannel or perhaps I could download gnome from source and compile from gnome's website itself?
[04:36] <Flannel> harisund: eh, I'd stick with the package manager.
[04:36] <ardchoille> searayman: I'll admit the documentation leaves much to be desired. Try man istanbul or http://live.gnome.org/Istanbul  But I know the app works, I've made several recordings myself.
[04:36] <harisund> Flannel or download a binary from the website? Say, something like a CVS snapshot ?
[04:37] <searayman> ardchoille:  where dose it save the recordings?
[04:37] <rixth> sanmarcos, I have ben to that page multiple times.
[04:37] <harisund> hmmm ok Flannel .. I was thinking of using checkinstall to create a .deb from the source I download ... oh well ..
[04:37] <Flannel> harisund: however, to be even lighter, you can take a look inside gnome-desktop-environment, theres gnome-core and stuff (as G-D-E includes some userland stuff)
[04:37] <hansi> Hi. Anyone here know anything about dell wireless usb cards and ndiswrapper?
[04:37] <harisund> ok .. thanks a ton really ..
[04:37] <searayman> sharms:  do u know where istanbul saves it recordings
[04:37] <selfharm> how do i install java 1.4 sdk?
[04:37] <Jessehk> sharms, just fixed it, and I feel stupid. One has to manually add things to the list. I did, and it's working. Thanks again. :)
[04:38] <Gun_Smoke> I have a folder on my desktop that I can not delete.. It has a little lock over the top.. I didn't do this.  How can I get rid of it?  2nd Question.. I am trying to install frostwire.  I run it through the package installer, but it comes back with only one software management tool may be open/used at a time. e.g Update Manager, aptitude, synaptic.  I don't have anything else running.
[04:38] <sharms> Jessehk: great!  Post the solution in your thread so people can get it when they search for it next time
[04:38] <Flannel> harisund: yeah, gnome-core actually looks like "basic gnome" G-D-E brings things in like ekiga and stuff
[04:38] <sharms> searayman: should be your /home/username
[04:38] <searayman> ardchoille:  DO YOU KNOW WHERE IT SAVES THE RECORDINGS!!
[04:38] <searayman> lol ok
[04:38] <ardchoille> searayman: I believe it saves in $HOME
[04:39] <searayman> k
[04:39] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, it is probably associated with a read only file.  You can try rm -f on the file.  If that doesn't do it, then sudo rm -f
[04:39] <azureal> hi, i'm trying to get 3d acceleration to work; i think i need drm and i915 modules...how do i get these?
[04:39] <Rippon> Does anyone know how to get m wireless working again
[04:39] <seth_> azureal, if you don't already have them, a kernel build is required with those things set to M
[04:40] <Rippon> like the command to configure it
[04:40] <Rippon> it used to work out of box
[04:40] <alienseer23> when I try to run gnome-panel, it tells me there is already another panel running and exits???
[04:40] <Rippon> but with kernel update it no longer appears
[04:40] <felix> If i have a question like this : 'For Gcc 2.x Versions of Linux'       WHAT does 'Gcc' Stand for ??? please
[04:40] <seth_> Rippon, support isn't present for your wifi chipset
[04:40] <azureal> seth_, is there a nice kernel recompiling guide?
[04:41] <Rippon> But when I installed ubuntu it worked fine no config needed
[04:41] <seth_> Rippon, you may be able to get it going with modprobe, but if not a kernel rebuild will do it.
[04:41] <Rippon> ok
[04:41] <Rippon> how do I kernel rebuild
[04:41] <hansi> shit guys. I have some problems with my dell wireless 1450 usb2.0 card and ndiswrapper. It seems like evrything is ok when i type ndiswrapper -l
[04:41] <hansi> Installed ndis drivers:
[04:41] <hansi> dellnic         driver present, hardware present      but i can't connect to my wireless network with it :S any ideas?
[04:41] <seth_> azureal, I'm sure there are.  I don't know of one, though, as I've been doing it for so many years
[04:41] <azureal> seth_, i've had some bad experiences w/ rebuilding kernel before...sigh
[04:41] <seth_> Rippon, I would boot the old kernel and do lsmod.  This will list the kernel modules that are in use.  then you'll know what to enable in the configuration for the newer kernel.
[04:42] <Gun_Smoke> seth_:  It says it cannot remove it because it is a directory
[04:42] <alienseer23> so I get the panels back by killing a running panel process, and then the panels don't work at all!
[04:42] <seth_> azureal, it's really not terribly difficult
[04:42] <BHSPitMonkey> hansi, do you at least SEE the networks?
[04:42] <Rippon> I am in the old kernel
[04:42] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, then rm -fr
[04:42] <Ubuntu_noob> if you are installing a pci wireless device do i need to install the drivers before i put it in the computer
[04:42] <Rippon> because it shows the wireless
[04:42] <hansi> BHSPitMonkey,  nope
[04:42] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, that will remove the directory and any files in the directory.
[04:42] <seth_> Rippon, right.  by doing lsmod with the old kernel running, you will know which modules are needed for your wifi hardware
[04:43] <Ubuntu_noob> !wifi
[04:43] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[04:43] <seth_> Rippon, then it's a matter of enabling those modules during the configuration step of the kernel build.
[04:43] <Rippon> ath_pci                80540  0
[04:43] <Rippon> ath_rate_sample        17160  1 ath_pci
[04:43] <Rippon> wlan                  144924  4 wlan_wep,ath_pci,ath_rate_sample
[04:43] <Rippon> ath_hal               148816  3 ath_pci,ath_rate_sample
[04:43] <alienseer23> nothing is working on my panels, can anyone help?
[04:43] <Rippon> Well.
[04:43] <seth_> Rippon, so ath_hal, wlan, ath_pci, and ath_rate_sample
[04:43] <seth_> Rippon, install the source for the newer kernel (if you have not yet done so)
[04:44] <Rippon> Where
[04:44] <seth_> alienseer23, do you want to get back configuration that was working, or do you want to go back to the desktop you get after an install?
[04:44] <selfharm> anyone know of a tutorial of how to install java sdk ?
[04:44] <Gun_Smoke> seth_:  That worked thanks.. Any ideas on why it thinks I have other software management tools open when I do not?
[04:44] <seth_> Rippon, with apt-get or synaptic.
[04:44] <alienseer23> config that was working, I think xpenguins killed it
[04:45] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, you mean as if you have a conflict with apt-get and synaptic?
[04:45] <alienseer23> it did!
[04:45] <alienseer23> I killed xpenguins and the whole thing came springing back to life :)
[04:45] <J-_> how can i do a search for a file in the terminal?
[04:45] <Sinisterr> is the Dapper Drake release the cutting edge of the ubuntu os's?
[04:45] <seth_> alienseer23, that was easy.  :)
[04:45] <azureal> seth_, how do i make sure that i don't overwrite my existing kernel?
[04:45] <seth_> J-_, with locate or find
[04:45] <alienseer23> indeed :)
[04:45] <alienseer23> no more x  penguins, man!
[04:45] <J-_> hmm thanks
[04:46] <seth_> J-_, locate is fast but relies on a database that is rebuilt usually once a day.  find is slower but will find files if they exist, regardless of when they may have been installed.
[04:46] <dougsko> Sinisterr: no, edgy is
[04:46] <seth_> azureal, that's not a problem, as long as the kernel version is different.
[04:46] <J-_> k cool, thanks dude i'll try both out =D
[04:46] <seth_> azureal, to be 100% safe, I would back up   /boot,  /usr/src, and /lib/modules
[04:46] <Sinisterr> dougsko: k thanks
[04:46] <Gun_Smoke> seth_:  No, I downloaded frostwire.deb it's on my desktop.  When I double click on it, it opens the package installer.. I grant it permission, then it tells me that only one software management tool can be use at one time and to close the others.. They are not open.
[04:47] <dougsko> np
[04:47] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, it's possible there is a socket file not cleaned up.  To really know you would need to run it under strace, and see what file it is accessing immediately before the error occurs.
[04:48] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, you could conceivably have a zombie process with a resource locked.
[04:48] <Sinisterr> dougsko: being new to ubuntu what would you say i should start with?
[04:48] <Gun_Smoke> seth_:  I don't know how to do that.
[04:48] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, you are sure you don't have synaptic running somewhere in the background?
[04:48] <Sinisterr> inormally run debian sid
[04:48] <dougsko> Sinisterr: not edgy...go with dapper
[04:48] <Gun_Smoke> No, I even logged out, and then back in.  still did it.. I rebooted.. Still did it
[04:49] <Sinisterr> kk
[04:49] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, ok, then strace is probably the best option
[04:49] <Gun_Smoke> seth_:  How?
[04:49] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, are you running from a command line or starting the package installer from a menu, or by clicking on a file?
[04:49] <Gun_Smoke> seth_:  clicking the file
[04:50] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, do you know which app is running?
[04:50] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, I don't run it that way so I don't know which app the file association ties the .deb file to.
[04:50] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, when you get the error, does it show you the program name anywhere in the pop up?
[04:50] <Gun_Smoke> seth_:  You mean synaptic or something?
[04:51] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, right
[04:51] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, it could be synaptic but it could be one other program whose name I'm forgetting at the moment.
[04:51] <Gun_Smoke> seth_:  None that I know of
[04:51] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, ok, then do this.  run it, and when the error pops up, go to a terminal, and do:   ps aux
[04:51] <riddick> I have a top question, currently I have a ubuntu machine part of a windows network, and I have my music library on one of my windows machines, can any one point me in the right direction as to how I can access build a playlist on my ubuntu machine from that windows music folder
[04:52] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, you should see near the end of the list of running processes the one that is producing your error.
[04:52] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, if you aren't sure which it is, paste the output of ps aux  to the paste bot
[04:52] <riddick> I have googled it a bit, but not sure of the approach
[04:52] <riddick> is it an addon of samba or something?
[04:52] <seth_> riddick, you need samba to access windows drives
[04:52] <Franklin> need help running mplex from a bash script on a directory of files in a for loop  ...
[04:52] <riddick> done that
[04:53] <riddick> I can see the files
[04:53] <seth_> riddick, ok.  What's the problem, then, if you can already see the files?
[04:53] <riddick> but I don't have a media player that can regularly access that shared folder to have a perminate library
[04:54] <seth_> riddick, any of the media players should be able to access the files, at least for read purposes.
[04:54] <riddick> any suggestions
[04:54] <Franklin> need help running mplex from a bash script on a directory of files in a for loop  ...
[04:54] <seth_> riddick, if you want to be able to write to those directories, then you have to set the user and group IDs for the samba shares
[04:55] <riddick> the standard rollout from ubuntu doesn't support it
[04:55] <riddick> thanks seth, will look into that one
[04:55] <Gun_Smoke> seth_:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20339
[04:55] <seth_> Franklin, I can help you with shell scripting, but perhaps you should state the problem rather than the solution?
[04:55] <riddick> right now though I'd be just happy for my media player on ubuntu to scan that folder and hold it in cache
[04:56] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, sorry, I forgot a flag we need to see the entire command.  do    ps auxww
[04:56] <seth_> riddick, what happens when you point a media player at the directory?
[04:56] <riddick> I can't scan network drives at all
[04:57] <riddick> I haven't found any options to do so on any of the standard players
[04:57] <Franklin> sorry seth, should I wait 'till riddick is done?
[04:57] <riddick> soz franklin
[04:57] <Gun_Smoke> seth_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20341
[04:57] <seth_> Franklin, no, you can ask.  If it is more than a couple of lines, though, you should probably paste your code to the paste bot
[04:57] <azureal> hi; "git pull" returns an error -- fatal: Not a git repository: '.git'  ...any ideas?
[04:59] <riddick> i was usung rythmebox
[04:59] <stinerman> riddick, if i may jump in ... i don't think rhythmbox will support reading over a samba share like that
[04:59] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, ok, what you would have to do is this.  copy the line beginning with gksu --desktop.  That is the command you are going to run, however, you are going to preceed it with:   strace -o strace.output -ff gksu ....
[04:59] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, you are going to do that in a terminal window
[04:59] <riddick> awesome
[04:59] <Franklin> i'm usually ok, but ...  here is a snippit, just echoing out the directory listing.
[04:59] <riddick> thats was the answer I needed
[04:59] <stinerman> or maybe not ... :-)
[05:00] <riddick> so its just a different media player I need
[05:00] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, that will run that command and produce a set of files, strace.output.#### (where #### are process IDs of whatever processes are started)
[05:00] <Franklin> #!/bin/bash
[05:00] <Franklin> for vid in `basename ./vid/* .m2v`; do
[05:00] <Franklin> ##mplex -f 8 -V -o `basename ./$vid.mpg .m2v` `basename ./aud/$vid.ac3 .m2v` ./vid/$vid
[05:00] <Franklin> echo ./aud/$vid.ac3
[05:00] <Franklin> done
[05:00] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, you will also get a file strace.output, and possibly only strace.output.
[05:00] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, once the error occurs, the info we need will be in one of the output files.
[05:00] <cafuego> riddick: Seems to work OK here.
[05:00] <stinerman> riddick, have you tried mounting the samba share using cifs in /etc/fstab ?
[05:01] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, it will produce tons of output, most of it useless, but its the only way to really get the little bit of info that we need.
[05:01] <riddick> mmmm
[05:01] <riddick> no idea
[05:01] <riddick> take that as a no I suppose
[05:01] <erdrick> i just installed ubuntu and ifollowed the manual to install the ati drivers but after install the drivers i can't get any 3d stuff to work not even screensavers
[05:01] <riddick> I have ssh
[05:01] <seth_> Franklin, first, don't use back ticks.  there are some re-entrency problems associated with backticks.  they should never be used with a ksh or better shell.  use $( ....  )   instead of  ` ... `
[05:01] <malefactor> Is there any way to install Ubuntu on XFS partition instead of ext3?
[05:01] <cafuego> riddick: An alternative is to simply share the remote mp3's via mt-daapd
[05:02] <riddick> hahah
[05:02] <alienseer21> how do I change permissions for a directory owned by root?
[05:02] <riddick> I went through that tute this morning us mt-daapd
[05:02] <seth_> Franklin, don't use that semicolon and put do on the same line, put do on a line by itself.
[05:02] <Gun_Smoke> seth_:  I am not location that line..
[05:02] <malefactor> alienseer21: sudo chmod
[05:02] <BlueEagle> erdrick: Please take the output from glx-info and put it on !pastebin
[05:02] <cafuego> malefactor: Yes, use 'advanced' partitioning
[05:02] <riddick> but I a stuck at the conf fil
[05:02] <riddick> e
[05:02] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, I don't know what you mean.  you can paste it
[05:02] <malefactor> cafuego: during the installation process?
[05:02] <cafuego> riddick: The trick is to NOT use the latest one.
[05:02] <cafuego> malefactor: yep
[05:02] <riddick> hahaha
[05:02] <alienseer21> and then put in the directory name?
[05:02] <riddick> I c
[05:03] <cafuego> malefactor: manual aprtitining, then you can pick partition types etc.
[05:03] <riddick> so what about mounting the samba drive, would that be easier than tweaking mt0daapd
[05:03] <erdrick>  alot of different versionts of this [fglrx]  API ERROR: could not register entrypoint for SelectTextureSGIS
[05:03] <malefactor> cafuego: from what I know, I haven't been asked for the type of partition for /, when installing from live CD... :d
[05:03] <cafuego> riddick: Depends on you :-)
[05:04] <DanaG> What are back-ticks, and what's wrong with them?
[05:04] <stinerman> riddick, if you mount the samba share, anything should work
[05:04] <Gun_Smoke> seth_:  I'm looking for the line you asked me to find.. ""copy the line beginning with gksu --desktop.""
[05:04] <seth_> DanaG, back ticks  are   `...`    backward single quote
[05:04] <cafuego> malefactor: The option is there, really :-)
[05:04] <Rookie-> nice, already problems with the installation ... wonder how it will be later on then ...
[05:04] <malefactor> Alright :)
[05:04] <seth_> DanaG, what's wrong with them is that they are not re-entrant
[05:04] <DanaG> Huh?
[05:04] <BlueEagle> ubotu: tell erdrick about pastebin
[05:04] <stinerman> riddick, if i understand right, you can't get your music files to play through rythmbox?
[05:04] <riddick> take it that I a almost a complete n00b, been stuffing around with linux intensly for about a month, lol
[05:04] <BlueEagle> erdrick: please go to the url Ubotu told you about and paste the output there.
[05:04] <Rookie-> !pastebin
[05:04] <riddick> so whatever is the quickest and least knowledge needed, lol
[05:04] <gleaken> I need to change the resolution of my Intel 915GV to 1280x768.  It is not a laptop, it is a HP Slimline desktop.  I tried the 915resolution package and it did not work.  Will this card do this resolution?
[05:04] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[05:05] <seth_> DanaG, basically, you can safely do this:    $( .... $( ... ) )
[05:05] <cafuego> riddick: Well, mt-daapd only needs to know the location the mp3's are stored under.
[05:05] <stinerman> riddick, i was there ... and still am with some things
[05:05] <seth_> DanaG, but you cannot do   `  ... `  ...  `    `
[05:05] <cafuego> riddick: .. and ideally a name to shop up as in Rhythmbox too.
[05:05] <Gun_Smoke> seth_:  brb, going for a smoke this might take me a while.. I'm an idiot.
[05:05] <azureal> seth_: i'm trying to get git to work from https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KernelGitGuide, but 'git pull' is an error
[05:05] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, ok.  it confuses everyone the first time they try it.
[05:05] <azureal> seth_: this is so i can obtain 2.6.17 sources
[05:06] <seth_> azureal, let me look at that page
[05:06] <alienseer21> i can't figgure out chmod to change the permissions...
[05:06] <Rookie-> Linux is user friendely, its just selective who its friends are ...
[05:06] <Franklin> I feel like a dummy, I can program in C and (yikes) VB ....  I just can't seem to combine a directory of m2v's and ac3's
[05:06] <Franklin> too much red wine, I guess .....
[05:06] <riddick> hang on a sec, what would be the line to point to my directory on my windows machine
[05:06] <seth_> azureal, there isn't a package for the sources?  that you can get with apt-get?
[05:06] <BlueEagle> alienseer21: it's quite easy. use u for user, g for group and o for other then + to add and - to remove r for read access, w for write access and x for execution access.
[05:06] <erdrick> ok i pasted the output
[05:06] <riddick> for instance do I just put C:\musiclibrary
[05:07] <azureal> seth_: the latest one there is 2.6.15, which i already have
[05:07] <realist> Rookie-: linux isn't user friendly! it just prefers computer friendly users ;-)
[05:07] <BlueEagle> alienseer21: like this: chmod u+x myfile
[05:07] <BlueEagle> alienseer21: that will allow the user (owner) of the file to execute it.
[05:07] <alienseer21> ok
[05:07] <Rookie-> hehe
[05:07] <seth_> azureal, you can get the source from kernel.org, but that won't (as you know) necessarily match the kernel
[05:07] <malefactor> How do I install something from .tar.gz, or should I get .deb instead?
[05:07] <alienseer21> thanks:)
[05:07] <BlueEagle> alienseer21: np.
[05:07] <Rookie-> Well, ubuntu is not linux anyway ....
[05:07] <cafuego> riddick: No, //windowsmachinename\sharename
[05:07] <cafuego> eh, / not \
[05:07] <seth_> azureal, what problem are you having with git?
[05:07] <BlueEagle> rookie-: I beg your pardon?
[05:07] <riddick> arrrgghhh
[05:08] <riddick> I c
[05:08] <realist> Rookie-: how so?
[05:08] <riddick> maybe I can pull it off
[05:08] <Rookie-> to many wizards, to many guides
[05:08] <dougsko> Rookie-: uh...it uses the linux kernel, which considering thats all linux is...
[05:08] <riddick> stand by I'll give it a whirl
[05:08] <seth_> Rookie-, what is it, nintendo?
[05:08] <malefactor> Rookie-, still, the kernel is named "linux"
[05:08] <azureal> seth_, "git pull" makes the error "fatal: Not a git repository: '.git'  "
[05:08] <realist> I haven't exactly decided what ubuntu _is_ yet...
[05:08] <Rookie-> more like windows ...
[05:08] <BlueEagle> rookie-: ...and what is "linux" then? (and we'd better take this to #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:08] <dougsko> Rookie-: thats all linux is, its just a kernel, its not even a full OS
[05:09] <meeko> atl wins
[05:09] <Rookie-> slackware on the other hand ....
[05:09] <seth_> azureal, you did the git clone successfully?
[05:09] <malefactor> Rookie-, Linux is everything that's based on Linux kernel. And for you, there's Slackware
[05:09] <BlueEagle> rookie-: Linux is the kernel. Ubuntu is a distribution of different applications and the linux kernel that combined make an operating system.
[05:09] <azureal> seth_, yea, it appears so
[05:09] <realist> I'd have thought ubuntu is some GNU/Linux variant
[05:09] <seth_> azureal, did it take a long time and download over 100 megs of data?
[05:09] <BlueEagle> malefactor: slackware? I guess he wants to build a LFS system.
[05:09] <dougsko> all any distro is, is a linux kernel and a bunch of other crap to use it
[05:09] <Franklin> even though kubuntu is better ...
[05:09] <Rookie-> just kiddin with u
[05:09] <malefactor> BlueEagle, anyway, he mentioned Slack above
[05:10] <dougsko> a kernel is pretty useless by itself
[05:10] <seth_> realist, there is no such thing as gnu/linux.   ubuntu is a linux distribution
[05:10] <linux_user400354> what is the difference between swiftfox and firefox?
[05:10] <realist> seth_: what is debian then?
[05:10] <azureal> seth_, yes.
[05:10] <BlueEagle> rookie-: ..but the name apperantly fits.
[05:10] <seth_> realist, debian is a linux distribution
[05:10] <meeko> How do I mount a fat32 partition?  I can't do it in the GUI drives
[05:10] <Rookie-> yea, i know
[05:10] <carpediem> swiftfox breaks a bunch of net etiquette to achieve faster perceived page loads.
[05:10] <realist> It's _the_ GNU/Linux distribution.
[05:10] <malefactor> seth_, there -is- such thing as gnu/linux
[05:10] <seth_> malefactor, no, there is not.
[05:11] <malefactor> it's how the operating system is called
[05:11] <Rookie-> but everytime i visit here i dont see much of linuxqustion ... more like gnome or kde ...
[05:11] <realist> It's also what's made Ubuntu so successful
[05:11] <malefactor> seth_, google it
[05:11] <visik7> anyone understanding ubiquity internals ?
[05:11] <linux_user400354> meeko: mkdir /mnt/windows; mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows
[05:11] <seth_> malefactor, no, it is not.  just because an egomaniac from gnu says to call it that, doesn't mean it is really called that.
[05:11] <Franklin> google it, it must be true
[05:11] <malefactor> seth_, let's say it's just a formal name
[05:11] <Rehevkor> I think I just hosed the Windows partition on my laptop prepating to dual boot install Xubuntu. Now I have an excuse to go linux only! woot.
[05:11] <Rehevkor> preparing even
[05:11] <linux_user400354> meeko: change hda1
[05:11] <realist> seth_: GNU/Linux = linux distrobution, with GNU userland
[05:11] <azureal> "It's not 'new', it's GNU, no matter how many people call it Linux by mistake."
[05:11] <erdrick> so what do i do after i put it in the pastbin and press send
[05:11] <dougsko> linux is just a kernel, if youre not hacking your kernel, then your not talking about "linux"
[05:11] <seth_> malefactor, it isn't a name at all.  it is an egomanical claim.
[05:11] <seth_> realist, it isn't gnu userland
[05:12] <dougsko> azureal: yup
[05:12] <seth_> realist, gnu programs make up a part of the user space, but certainly not all of it
[05:12] <linux_user400354> meeko: i believe the answer to your question is in the documentation that comes with ubuntu
[05:12] <azureal> dougsko, you know who said that? =P
[05:12] <dougsko> it is kind of confusing though
[05:12] <realist> seth_: have you read the debian license policy?
[05:12] <seth_> realist, and it is perfectly possible to create a user space with no gnu software at all.
[05:12] <malefactor> seth_, gnu/linux denotes the GNU opersting system with the Linux kernel, no?
[05:12] <BlueEagle> erdrick: then you hand us the URL of your post.
[05:12] <ardchoille> Folks, #offtopic is that-a-way ------>
[05:12] <eternalswd> does anyone know how in zsh with menu_complete set to have specific commands only complete specific filetypes ie with gmplayer to complete *.avi but not directories or other files?
[05:12] <seth_> malefactor, no.  there is no gnu operating system
[05:12] <Franklin> we all need to go have some red wine and chillax
[05:12] <sanmarcos> #ubuntu-offtopic, stfu with the debate
[05:12] <seth_> malefactor, well, there is, but it is not used much
[05:12] <malefactor> seth_, there's a project
[05:12] <sanmarcos> nobody cares
[05:13] <erdrick> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20343
[05:13] <azureal> Franklin, maybe w/ cheese I'd accept
[05:13] <seth_> azureal, the git pull has to be failing because something in the environment is not set correctly.
[05:13] <malefactor> and, seth_, if you're speaking about gnu/hurd, then yes
[05:13] <meeko> linux_user400354:  Thanks!  It worked beautifully.
[05:13] <azureal> seth_, sigh...such as?
[05:13] <seth_> azureal, I can try to install git myself and figure it out, but it takes a while.
[05:13] <carpediem> malefactor: wouldn'
[05:13] <seth_> azureal, probably just an environment variable.
[05:13] <riddick> can some explain to me though what mt-daap will allow me to do and what method
[05:13] <malefactor> carpediem, woudln't what?
[05:13] <Franklin> just ha the biggest steak dinner with some blue cheese, a gallon of red ... OH MAN!!!
[05:14] <carpediem> malefactor: wouldn't it then be called Gnu/Sun/IBM/Novell/Ximian/........Linux
[05:14] <seth_> azureal, I'll install it if you are going to be here long enough for it to matter.
[05:14] <BlueEagle> erdrick: That looks really bad.
[05:14] <azureal> seth_, yea
[05:14] <JackONeill> What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
[05:14] <JackONeill> kernel?
[05:14] <seth_> azureal, ok.  hang in there, then.
[05:14] <JackONeill> (says vmware :P)
[05:14] <erdrick> BlueEagle: lol you're telling me , but i followed the manual exactly
[05:14] <azureal> seth_, thx.
[05:14] <JackONeill> (i dunno: says me)
[05:14] <Rookie-> IBM dosent make any linux, they make unix called AIX
[05:14] <BlueEagle> Anyone with experience with ATi able to help erdrick out? He's getting loads and loads of API errors from fglrx. Might be permissions but I've never had an ATi card so I really don't know.
[05:15] <seth_> azureal, sorry, I can't do it.  it won't install on breezy
[05:15] <azureal> ah
[05:15] <seth_> azureal, why not just use the most recent kernel source available with apt-get?
[05:15] <carpediem> malefactor: Fact is, the GPL expressly restricts requirements on redistribution, and expectations that people must call it Gnu/Linux is a contradiction to his own license for RMS
[05:15] <azureal> best way to obtain 2.6.17 patched sources?
[05:15] <selfharm> anyone know how to isntall javasdk 1.4?
[05:15] <ardchoille> carpediem: take it to #ubuntu-offtopic please.
[05:15] <seth_> azureal, I could install git from source but that isn't likely to be close enough to your config so that I can tell you exactly what to do.
[05:15] <azureal> seth_, because i'm already using them (2.6.15) ... it would not be a different version --> chance of overwrite
[05:15] <sanmarcos> selfharm, now why would you sue java?
[05:15] <sanmarcos> !java > selfharm
[05:16] <malefactor> carpediem, alright
[05:16] <carpediem> ardchoille: When I'm talking about something not Ubuntu Linux related, I certainly will.
[05:16] <seth_> azureal, ah, ok.  in that case, back up.
[05:16] <selfharm> ugh, php? no thanks
[05:16] <selfharm> thanks sanmarcos
[05:16] <sanmarcos> selfharm, honestly, I dont use software just beause it is java. Switch to Mono. and Fuck php, usie pyhton or ruby
[05:16] <Rehevkor> bah. php haters.
[05:16] <ardchoille> carpediem: This is a Ubuntu supprot channel, that conversation is not helping anything atm
[05:16] <azureal> seth_, ok, what was it? /boot, /usr/src...and
[05:16] <sanmarcos> horrible language Rehevkor, its a shame that all newcomers choose to learn it
[05:16] <stinerman> erdrick: give me a second and i might be able to help
[05:16] <seth_> azureal, also /lib/modules
[05:16] <Franklin> see you all, my wine glass is empty ...
[05:17] <seth_> azureal, also /etc, for some of the module configurations.
[05:17] <erdrick> stinerman: sweet
[05:17] <sanmarcos> no namespaces. eww. It is the most horrible language to type, even Objective-C is nicer Rehevkor
[05:17] <seth_> azureal, and if I'm not forgetting anything .... :)
[05:17] <BlueEagle> erdrick: It appears that the drivers for ATi are broken (again).
[05:17] <Rehevkor> sanmarcos: It's not horrible if it meets the needs of the user. It has plenty of worthwhile applications.
[05:17] <Rehevkor> I don't have any problems coding in PHP.
[05:17] <sanmarcos> Rehevkor, no, I agree, for web dev, its the best. RoR just doenst scale to large scale
[05:17] <MadMerC> hi guys im having problems gettin 3d acceleration going on my ati radeon card can anyone help??
[05:17] <sanmarcos> Rehevkor, but as a language? ewww
[05:17] <sanmarcos> !ati > MadMerC
[05:17] <BlueEagle> erdrick: I see a gentoo forum that usggests a downgrade albeit that's dated 30th of june this year. (It's not uncommon for ATi not being able to fix their drivers in a month tho)
[05:17] <Rehevkor> *shrug* to each his own I guess :)
[05:18] <sanmarcos> Rehevkor, what langauges do you know other than php?
[05:18] <MadMerC> !ati
[05:18] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:18] <sanmarcos> Rehevkor, you need to have some comparing point to know
[05:18] <Rehevkor> I am looking into learning Ruby right now. I'm trying to get comfortable with as many languages as I can.
[05:18] <Flannel> guys, take the language/linux/gnu/yadda yadda to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[05:18] <stinerman> erdrick: please let me know what ati driver you're using, the X server, and the kernel version
[05:18] <visik7> !ubiquity
[05:18] <sanmarcos> Rehevkor, ruby and php?, well there you go. Ruby should be a good starting point for learning good OOP
[05:18] <ubotu> I know nothing about ubiquity - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[05:19] <MadMerC> i have installed the drivers and everything seemed to go fine but when i run fglrxinfo i get this error message Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual!
[05:19] <Rehevkor> sanmarcos: to #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:19] <erdrick> stinerman: not to sound too terribly stupid but how do i find that out
[05:19] <sanmarcos> Rehevkor, even though Python is more widespread, and Ruby is only alive because of the hype around RoR (which rocks)
[05:19] <alienseer21> if I want to set a particular icon to a particular filetype, or make a program default for opening a filetype, hopw do I do this?
[05:19] <sanmarcos> Rehevkor, same to you
[05:19] <Gun_Smoke> seth_:  I just tried to open the Synaptic... it opened, then I went to advanced.. It opened and gave me this E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[05:19] <ardchoille> sanmarcos: , take the language/linux/gnu/yadda yadda to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[05:19] <sanmarcos> ardchoille, resentful
[05:19] <BlueEagle> erdrick: http://fedoranews.org/cms/node/1014 might help as will googling "[fglrx]  API ERROR: could not register entrypoint for" I guess
[05:19] <sanmarcos> Gun_Smoke, sudo dpkg --configure -a from a term
[05:19] <BlueEagle> erdrick: (ie. googling cryptic error messages very often finds solutions. :)
[05:20] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, ah, that's interesting.  it is a different problem than I was thinking.  so forget about strace for now, and run that dpkg command and see if it repairs your corrupted package database.
[05:20] <Gun_Smoke> seth_:  I did it.. tried again.. same thing
[05:20] <erdrick> BlueEagle: thanks for your help guys it's nice to find friendly people out there
[05:20] <stinerman> erdrick: well first, are you trying to use the fglrx driver from the repository (through synaptic) or did you download it from the ati site?
[05:20] <carpediem> okay, the hall monitor crud is getting old.  We are all hobbyist here, and if you don't want to hear what I have to say, use /ignore.
[05:20] <gleaken> does anyone have any information on the Intel 915GV video chipset?
[05:20] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, we are getting into dpkg/apt internals here.  I know something about them but not everything.
[05:21] <stinerman> erdrick: for the kernel, type "uname -r" into a terminal
[05:21] <sanmarcos> gleaken, help.ubuntu.com
[05:21] <BlueEagle> erdrick: oh, and try fglrxinfo too not just glxinfo (apperantly ATi uses that instead :))
[05:21] <alienseer21> ok, the open with was easy, but how do I change the icon for a filetype, not just a file???
[05:21] <Gun_Smoke> seth_:  Bummer
[05:21] <Sir_Brizz> gleaken, what do you need to know about it besiudes that it sucks?
[05:21] <stinerman> BlueEagle, good idea!
[05:21] <sanmarcos> alienseer21, mime types in freedesktop/gnome are a pain, it is usually associated with your icon theme
[05:21] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, when you ran that dpkg command, you didn't get any errors?
[05:21] <erdrick> stinerman: i used the advanced add remove to get xort-driver-fglrx
[05:21] <Gun_Smoke> seth_:  No\
[05:22] <dougsko> Sir_Brizz: why do you say it sucks?
[05:22] <MadMerC> I have installed the ATI drivers for my radeon card but when i run fglrxinfo i get this error message Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual! can anyone help please ??
[05:22] <erdrick> stinerman: uname -r gives me 2.6.15-26-386
[05:22] <gleaken> I know the i810 driver is the driver xorg needs
[05:22] <alienseer21> ok, I have azureus, and want torrent files to have that icon, there is no way to import that single icon?
[05:22] <Sir_Brizz> dougsko, because it does. Can't even run Google Earth properly in OpenGL and that is simple by Linux standards
[05:22] <stinerman> erdrick ... so it was from the repository; now run fglrxinfo in a terminal
[05:22] <gleaken> but I need to change the resolution to 1280x768 for the plasma it is hooked up to
[05:22] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, I wish I knew what error synaptic is seeing.  Let me see if synaptic logs that information anywhere.
[05:23] <sanmarcos> alienseer21, change your icon theme, this is a question for irc.gnome.org/#gnome
[05:23] <gleaken> on my dell laptop, I used the 855resolution to get the 1280x800, but I tried editing the xorg.conf file and no luck
[05:23] <alienseer21> ok
[05:23] <DanaG> Oh, trying to hook up a TV?
[05:23] <dougsko> Sir_Brizz: hmm...i think i have a 910, but i dont really do anything that needs sweet graphics, so i guess i never noticed
[05:23] <DanaG> Look at avsforum.com
[05:23] <gleaken> I tried the 915 resolution package, and that failed at first, then I added the 1280 and 768 to the config file, and no go
[05:23] <DanaG> they have some stuff.
[05:23] <gleaken> yes, but through the VGA cable, not regular RCA
[05:23] <DanaG> Oh, and use PowerStrip in Windows -- it will give you a Linux modeline.
[05:23] <Sir_Brizz> gleaken, I'm pretty sure the 915G series doesn't support widescreen
[05:23] <Mattchewie> Hey all, quick question....I got ubuntu on my main pc and when my GF goes to update her myspace blog she can't get their advanced editor to work...is that because of the blackdown java plugin?
[05:23] <erdrick> the fglrxinfo gave me the same could not register entrypoint that i posted a link to earlier
[05:24] <BlueEagle> erdrick: oh, and http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=373 provides some interesting reading about the subject (and also about why (imo) you should buy nVidia cards) "he only ATI comment at this time has been that they aren't focusing on the older hardware".
[05:24] <stinerman> erdrick -- thats a start ...
[05:24] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, synaptic does write a log file.  that may help us.
[05:24] <erdrick> cool cool
[05:24] <Sir_Brizz> dougsko, makes sense :) It even crashes on PPRacer alot of times
[05:24] <stinerman> do you know what card you have?
[05:24] <sanmarcos> Mattchewie, because myspace probably uses some stupid shit that isnt standard supported would be my best guess
[05:24] <erdrick> ati 9200
[05:24] <erdrick> radeon
[05:24] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, you are (I assume) running sudo synaptic.  The log will be the newest file in /root/.synaptic/log
[05:24] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, you can find the newest file by doing ls -ltr /root/.synaptic/log
[05:24] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, the last line listed will be the newest log file
[05:25] <BeepAU> hey everyone, where can i find libmp3lame.so? it's the mp3 codec for audacity.
[05:25] <Mattchewie> sanmarcos: freaking figures.........now I must listen to girly whining cause she can't use "smileys"......*sigh*
[05:25] <Mattchewie> lol
[05:25] <Flannel> Mattchewie: regular java is available in the repositories, if you're worried about blackdown being a problem.  I imagine the myspace is not an applet, but just javascript, however.
[05:25] <sanmarcos> BeepAU, apt-cache search lame --names-only
[05:25] <Sir_Brizz> !tell BeepAU about mp3
[05:25] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, if we are lucky we may get some error information from that log file.
[05:25] <gleaken> Sir_Brizz: let me look at the intel site and see what the official word is
[05:25] <carpediem> Mattchewie: you can use the standard Sun java plugin.
[05:25] <sanmarcos> Mattchewie, best option is to use firefox, js enabled, and sun jre. Try opera, if not. If everything fails, blame it on this f.p.o.s named MySpace
[05:25] <MadMerC> i have installed the drivers for my radoen 9600pro and they went fine but when i run fglrxinfo i get this error Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual! can anyone help please??
[05:25] <sanmarcos> Mattchewie, I doubt myspace would use a java applet for their stupid editor
[05:25] <Sir_Brizz> gleaken, okay. Also remember that the Linux driver for that card is significantly weaker than the Windows counterpart
[05:25] <Rookie-> might find info in /var/log/syslog too
[05:26] <stinerman> erdrick: i found someone who had a similar problem on the forums; http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185033 should be helpful
[05:26] <Mattchewie> I'm using Firefox, just blackdown for the plugin
[05:26] <meeko> how do you match whitespace for a regular expression?
[05:26] <sanmarcos> !repeat > MadMerC
[05:26] <hippie23> I can mount a drive, now how do I make it permanent so i dont have to do the "sudo mount" thing every time I log in
[05:26] <Mattchewie> Would the plugin be installed if I install Sun Jre?
[05:26] <Flannel> meeko: \s
[05:26] <sanmarcos> meeko, man 7 regex
[05:26] <Mattchewie> or is there a Sun Java plugin package?
[05:26] <carpediem> Mattchewie: yes, it should.  You can uninstall blackdown to be sure
[05:26] <Sir_Brizz> hippie: add a line to /etc/fstab
[05:26] <Gun_Smoke> seth_:  got it.. How do I read it?
[05:26] <gleaken> Sir_Brizz, understood, but the same driver for my laptop did the widescreen perfectly fine after the 855 resolution application,  which I understand modified the video bios to put it into widescreen
[05:26] <hippie23> ok
[05:26] <Sir_Brizz> gleaken, which card is in your laptop
[05:26] <Flannel> Mattchewie: java plugin would be, but again.  javascript != java.  unless they use an applet to edit, it shouldnt affect much
[05:27] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, try   cat /root/.synaptic/log/....
[05:27] <Rookie-> hippie23 - fstab
[05:27] <hippie23> I know about the fstab thing, now I where its at
[05:27] <jcsteele> i have a mounted drive with a large music collection that i would like to backup...nothing fancy, just something that will do a copy/replace every few days to a USB disk of the same size.  I tried software mirroring, but since the backup media is USB....it slows the performance down to much.  Does anyone have any recommendations for my situation?  any applications come to mind?
[05:27] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, that will dump it to the terminal.
[05:27] <hippie23> thanks
[05:27] <steven> Anyone have suggestions on getting a Brother MFC420CN scanner functioning in Linux?
[05:27] <carpediem> Mattchewie: Flannel is right though, Java has nothing to do with javascript, so keep that in mind.
[05:27] <gleaken> 855
[05:27] <steven> The printer works fine
[05:27] <erdrick> hmm so the latest ati drivers are brokenthat's good at least i'm not compeletly stupid and didn't screw up my machine
[05:27] <sanmarcos> jcsteele, cron, rsync
[05:27] <meeko> thanks!
[05:27] <Mattchewie> Hrm, I wonder what could be its freaking problem then.
[05:27] <sanmarcos> erdrick, ati nvidia drivers suck. Intel at least made them open source
[05:27] <MadMerC> im not feeling ignored i just want to give everyone the chance to see my question due to the amount of traffick in here
[05:27] <sanmarcos> erdrick, its all about money, remember
[05:28] <stinerman> erdrick, apparently for some older cards
[05:28] <Sir_Brizz> gleaken, no one has written updated software for the 915 series afaik. The card is awful, it says it supports alot of functionality that it doesn't in OpenGKL applications
[05:28] <carpediem> anyone using CGWD?  wondering if theme changing works for anyone, because it doesn't work for me.
[05:28] <BeepAU> sanmarcos -- what do i do once i'm there?
[05:28] <sanmarcos> jcsteele, man cron, google about cron, check debian-administration.org, also check rsync, and rdiff-backup, only backs up differential increases-decreases
[05:28] <Rookie-> one idea to reduce the traffic here is that once any starts to give an answer ... go pm
[05:28] <Sir_Brizz> Madalot of linux users don't like ATI cards because the drivers are extremely buggy in Linux
[05:28] <Gun_Smoke> seth_:  No errors there
[05:28] <sanmarcos> BeepAU, ??
[05:29] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, damn.
[05:29] <gleaken> Sir_Brizz, hmm, I am not looking for 3d, just accelerated 2d widescreen.  Still looking on intel.com
[05:29] <Sir_Brizz> MadMerC, alot of linux users don't like ATI cards because the drivers are extremely buggy in Linux
[05:29] <carpediem> Rookie-: that's not good, then people can't learn from each other.
[05:29] <erdrick> so i should probably be going with nvidia cards?
[05:29] <Rookie-> well, whats wrong with forums ... ?
[05:29] <carpediem> Rookie-: it's not interactive
[05:29] <MadMerC> yeah and their cards suck too but im stuck with it now unfortunately :P
[05:29] <sanmarcos> erdrick, nvidia tends to be better in linux support
[05:29] <Sir_Brizz> erdrick, nVidia just works (tm) in Linux :)
[05:29] <J-_> where can i find my recycle bin, i deleted it becuase it was in a panel(gdesklets) couldn't put it back on my desktop
[05:29] <Mattchewie> kinda like I can't use the new hotmail "live" system currently. I tell it to..but dumps me back into basic mode, but if I use FF in windows its fine :|
[05:29] <BeepAU> sanmarcos -- i put 'apt-cache search lame --names-only' in the terminal, it came up with a bunch of stuff, what do i do to get the audacity codec?
[05:29] <sanmarcos> Sir_Brizz, not really
[05:30] <Sir_Brizz> sanmarcos, yes really
[05:30] <mariano> ubuntu-es
[05:30] <sanmarcos> BeepAU, oh just install the one that seems appropiate
[05:30] <Mattchewie> I dislike smal stupid issues lol :P
[05:30] <Flannel> Mattchewie: probably a browser (read: IE) check.  can you get in with UA spoofing?
[05:30] <sanmarcos> Sir_Brizz, for you. Nvidia-legacy sucks
[05:30] <mariano> #ubuntu-es
[05:30] <sanmarcos> Sir_Brizz, not to mention having to recompile every time you update the kernel.
[05:30] <Sir_Brizz> sanmarcos, I spent 5 days getting my Radeon 9800Pro working in Ubuntu. I bought a 7600GT and installed the nVidia driver and it worked in less than 30 minutes
[05:30] <BeepAU> sanmarcos -- which would be? i'm trying to find libmp3lame.so
[05:30] <Mr-Petah> mariano, wath happens with ubuntu-es?
[05:30] <Mr-Petah> need suport in spanish?
[05:30] <visik7> Riddell: have you some minutes for few questions about ubiquity ?
[05:30] <mariano> i need
[05:31] <sanmarcos> Sir_Brizz, well newer cards tend to work. but there are horror stories. you were lucky. And its all relative to ATI sucking.
[05:31] <Mattchewie> Flannel, I haven't tired. there is an extentsion for FF for that right?
[05:31] <J-_> where can i find my recycle bin, i deleted it becuase it was in a panel(gdesklets) couldn't put it back on my desktop
[05:31] <Rookie-> BeepAU - in worst case - google.com is a nice friend
[05:31] <Flannel> Mattchewie: yeah. called User Agent Switcher, if I remember
[05:31] <Sir_Brizz> sanmarcos, lol
[05:31] <Mattchewie> Brlliant!!
[05:31] <sanmarcos> BeepAU, see all the shit you have to do because of money? Software patents suckl
[05:31] <gleaken> Sir_Brizz, 2048x1536 @ 75 Hz is what it says officially
[05:31] <stinerman> erdrick: i used to be a really bad ATI fanboy ... but even now i have to admit that nvidia is the way to go if you want to play games in GNU/Linux
[05:31] <dougsko> J-_: ~/.trash
[05:31] <Sir_Brizz> sanmarcos, my TI4200 install in SuSe 9.1 was a similar experience
[05:31] <gleaken> SIr_Brizz, as the maximum
[05:31] <sanmarcos> BeepAU, liblame0
[05:31] <J-_> thanks
[05:31] <Gun_Smoke> seth_:  this is the last thing I did before problems started http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20346
[05:32] <gleaken> still looking for widescreen
[05:32] <dougsko> word
[05:32] <Arrick>  hey guys, I just installed XP home on a computer, and in the startup folder it had a icon called reboot, when I deleted it, I restarted the computer and now it keeps rebooting as soon as the machine boots to the desktop, anybody familiar with this problem?
[05:32] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, ok, let me look at that ...
[05:32] <sanmarcos> Arrick, is this in XP?
[05:32] <Sir_Brizz> gleaken, a better question is what resolution the i810 driver supports for the 915 series
[05:32] <BeepAU> j-_ -- right click on a panel, click add to panel, then get the garbage bin
[05:32] <Arrick> sanmarcos, yeah, but these guys tend to know more than the windows channel
[05:32] <sanmarcos> Arrick, this is #ubuntu, not #windows
[05:32] <Arrick> I realize that
[05:32] <blind> ##window ** :P
[05:32] <blind> er shit
[05:33] <sanmarcos> Arrick, these guys tend to know about Linux, and if you ask a widnows question, you will get flamed, and set on fire
[05:33] <blind> OOPS
[05:33] <hippie23> is there a way to install ubuntu by compiling everything from source so its optomized for my hardware or do i have to switch gentoo or something?
[05:33] <sanmarcos> Arrick, and #ubuntu is softcore
[05:33] <sanmarcos> hippie23, apt-get source
[05:33] <Rookie-> every system has its beauty .... even winlose
[05:33] <Sir_Brizz> hippie23, gentoo is better for that, though it is possible with any distro
[05:33] <sanmarcos> hippie23, you wont get much optimizations really
[05:33] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, try doing sudo apt-get update   again.  That has been known to fix problems like this.  I would have to look at alient to come up with something more intelligent
[05:33] <Flannel> hippie23: you could.  but, there is no "optomized for your harddrive"
[05:33] <Arrick> sanmarcos, Ive been in and out of here so many times its not funny, I run linux all the time, I know what Im asking
[05:33] <sanmarcos> hippie23, use gentoo if you want that stupidity. You only should do compiling with special CCFLAGS on cpu intensive stuff such as mplayer, video stuff, math, etc
[05:33] <hippie23> I said hardware not harddrive
[05:33] <dougsko> sanmarcos: lol, if you really wanna get flamed head over to #openbsd, you cant even ask a non-newbie question there
[05:34] <dougsko> sanmarcos: those guys just suck at life
[05:34] <azureal> ah, why doesnt ubuntu have a 2.6.17 patch yet?
[05:34] <Gun_Smoke> seth_: and then after that is when the folder stuck itself to the desktop.. You already helped me with that.
[05:34] <sanmarcos> dougsko, indeed, it goes like this #ubuntu, #debian, #*bsd
[05:34] <azureal> or 2.6.16...
[05:34] <hippie23> ok
[05:34] <Arrick> j/ #ubuntu+1
[05:34] <azureal> would make my life 10x easier atm..sigh
[05:34] <Rookie-> consider it not stable ... ?
[05:34] <sanmarcos> dougsko, social skills are in need on IRC, but again, its IRC
[05:34] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, clearly alien has trashed something.
[05:34] <BeepAU> sanmarcos -- sorry, dude, but i'm a real n00b. what's the command to get liblame0 again?
[05:34] <Arrick> Where oh where are all the old users at?
[05:35] <Gun_Smoke> seth_:  E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.  was the last line after apt-get update
[05:35] <dougsko> sanmarcos: yeah, i just cant stand it when people think they are actually better than someone else because they know a little more about computers than them
[05:35] <sanmarcos> BeepAU, help.ubuntu.com!!! sudo apt-get install
[05:35] <stinerman> azureal, there probably won't be anything past a 2.6.15 release
[05:35] <Arrick> Nickrud, _jason, Flannelking?
[05:35] <azureal> what?!  what's this edgy thing then, stinerman?
[05:35] <azureal> !edgy
[05:35] <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
[05:35] <steveO> edgy eft is the devel version
[05:35] <steveO> !schedule
[05:35] <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
[05:35] <carpediem> Arrick: I hear you.  I don't know why people are spending 10% of the traffic playing hall monitor these days.  This channel is getting to be like soviet russia or something.
[05:35] <sanmarcos> dougsko, well its not like that, its just that simple things like what BeepAU just asked me are like two clicks away in the documentation, people come here and expect to be baby fed.
[05:36] <Gun_Smoke> !schedule > Gun_Smoke
[05:36] <dougsko> sanmarcos: yes, that gets on my nerves too, but i just dont respond to those. i dont try and make the person feel like sh**
[05:36] <stinerman> after a release, only bugfixes and security updates are done for the software, azureal
[05:37] <Rookie-> ubuntu is great for ppl who comes from win ... easy and userfriendely ... not as the old dists and systems ...
[05:37] <Arrick> yep
[05:37] <carpediem> sanmarcos: then don't answer their questions.  Ripping on them only wastes everyone's time.
[05:37] <Arrick> thats why I quit coming in here
[05:37] <azureal> stinerman, the thing is, i'd like to get a kernel that is later so that I can try something to accelerate my graphics card... but going below 2.6.15 does not seem like a good idea..
[05:37] <sanmarcos> dougsko, you learn by reading the docs, by trying out by yourself, and as a last resort ask in IRC. I guess sometimes I do like to respond RTFM, it just depends on my mood. Believe me, i was a newbie once, eventually I understood the RTFM philosophy. Another thing that bothers me is stupid questions, we should set a notice on join for this channel
[05:37] <azureal> i guess i could make an identical 2.6.15 kernel...sigh
[05:37] <Arrick> (now I know why they left) carpediem
[05:38] <Necro> okay, i just had a fresh install and updated right away, and my X server failed
[05:38] <Sir_Brizz> azureal, you can compile the latest kernel from source in Ubuntu if you so desire
[05:38] <stinerman> azureal, you can always download a vanilla kernel from kernel.org and compile from source
[05:38] <Coruscant> is there a way to delete multiple copies of files i a folder fast
[05:38] <Sir_Brizz> haha
[05:38] <Rookie-> best commands to find is "man" and "apropos"
[05:38] <Sir_Brizz> Necro, what do you mean by "updated"?
[05:38] <carpediem> sanmarcos: why does IRC need to be last resort?  I like helping people, and don't mind that they didn't spend hours pouring over manuals before asking me a question.  If you don't want to be helpful, don't help.
[05:38] <Necro> i ran Software Updates
[05:39] <dougsko> sanmarcos: dude, i know just what you mean. i just come here to talk linux a little and help people out. and i have no problem telling someone to RTFM, but whatever, its no excuse to be rude back
[05:39] <azureal> Sir_Brizz, but then it will not have ubuntu patches attached to them, right
[05:39] <azureal> to it*
[05:39] <Sir_Brizz> Necro, k. What error do you get?
[05:39] <Sir_Brizz> azureal, no
[05:39] <Drone4four> how well does xgl work by default in the latest version of ubuntu?
[05:39] <sanmarcos> !xgl > Drone4four
[05:39] <azureal> it will just be "flavorless" linux
[05:39] <azureal> not very tasty....
[05:39] <Drone4four> sanmarcos, ?
[05:39] <gleaken> Sir_Brizz, got it
[05:39] <Sir_Brizz> azureal, not quite, just flavorless kernel :)
[05:39] <Sir_Brizz> gleaken, what was it?
[05:39] <sanmarcos> dougsko, carpediem : anyways, to each his own philosophy on helping people.
[05:40] <dougsko> if youre actaully getting frustrated by what people are saying in *irc*, its time to go outside for a little and get some sun
[05:40] <maverick> hey how can i found out if the college im going to allows me to set up a network in my dorm room?
[05:40] <Coruscant> is there a way to delete multiple file entries easily on ubuntu?
[05:40] <wasabi> Drone4four: Interesting question. Since it doesn't work By Default.
[05:40] <dougsko> sanmarcos: truth
[05:40] <gleaken> 915resolution
[05:40] <Necro> actually, i couldnt even figure what error i was getting. i suppose you could tell me what to look for and ill kill it again and get back to you.
[05:40] <sanmarcos> Coruscant, file entries?
[05:40] <Sir_Brizz> good work!
[05:40] <gleaken> you have to do a 915resolution -l
[05:40] <gleaken> list the modes
[05:40] <Drone4four> ty wasabi, for some reasons i thought xgl worked in ubuntu by default
[05:40] <carpediem> sanmarcos: that's true and fine, but when you go telling everyone to go to another channel or RTFM, you are taking away my ability to help them.  And I want to help.
[05:40] <gleaken> then, pick a mode you want to override
[05:40] <Drone4four> i guess i wam mistaken
[05:40] <azureal> Sir_Brizz, I suppose i need "patch-2.6.17.8.bz2" ?
[05:40] <Drone4four> =D
[05:40] <Rookie-> Coruscant - mv *|rm -rf *
[05:40] <wasabi> Drone4four: Works pretty easily.
[05:40] <gleaken> I picked the 1280x1024 24 bit
[05:40] <ardchoille> Coruscant: You mean:  rm /path/file1 /path/file2 /path/file3  ?
[05:40] <wasabi> Drone4four: But not "by default"
[05:40] <modern`> hey
[05:41] <UpMarc> Hello... I'm brand new to Linux (and Ubuntu)... can someone help me in configuring my HP deskjet 3550 printer?
[05:41] <sanmarcos> carpediem, do you think I care you want to help, you told me that 10 times! As i said, to each his own philosophy
[05:41] <Sir_Brizz> azureal, you could use that if you have the current sources then patch it in
[05:41] <Coruscant> sanmarcos yes my computer has made several copies of my music library in the same folder how do i clean up
[05:41] <sanmarcos> UpMarc, just set it up in the gnome printer preferences, it should be supported by default
[05:41] <gleaken> then, just do 915resolution <line number from 915resolution -l command> 1280 768 24
[05:41] <gleaken> then restart X
[05:41] <Rookie-> ops, wrong ... mv * name|rm -rf name
[05:41] <Necro> before i loaded my nVidia drivers and got the nVidia splash and i still couldnt get above 1024x768.
[05:41] <Coruscant> ardchoille theres over 900 files
[05:41] <carpediem> sanmarcos: fine, but please, please stop telling people to go elsewhere.
[05:41] <sanmarcos> Cornellius, rm -rf folder/ be careful with it, use rm -rfi if you want to be safe
[05:41] <gleaken> I will paste the howto, one sec
[05:41] <ardchoille> Coruscant: Oh.. hehe
[05:41] <steven> Need some help with a Brother MFC420CN , anybody?
[05:41] <sanmarcos> carpediem, dont tell me what to do
[05:42] <Coruscant> ardchoille theres supposed to be like 300
[05:42] <erdrick> stinerman: i had 3d acceleration when i first installed Ubuntu should i just reinstall and try to play my games off that or am i going to need some sort of recent ati driver
[05:42] <azureal> Sir_Brizz: how would i get a full kernel, the equivalent to an "apt-get install linux-source-2.6.17" (if such a command existed)
[05:42] <carpediem> sanmarcos: I won't, if you won't tell everyone what to do.
[05:42] <modern`> tell me
[05:42] <UpMarc> sanmarcos: it's already installed... with a job waiting (Idon't know what) to print
[05:42] <Clujo> brother
[05:42] <Sir_Brizz> azureal, you have to download the full source from kernel.org
[05:42] <sanmarcos> UpMarc, print a test page
[05:42] <dougsko> azureal: you can install kernels like that
[05:42] <sanmarcos> UpMarc, I suggest you checkout help.ubuntu.com section Printing
[05:42] <UpMarc> the test page goes to the line and doesnt print
[05:42] <seth_> azureal, they haven't seen all the history of what you are doing
[05:42] <sanmarcos> carpediem, sure, finished conversation
[05:42] <Rookie-> !printers
[05:42] <ubotu> Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[05:42] <dougsko> azureal: and you probly should unless you want to have to go and add all your modules/drivers and stuff by hand
[05:43] <seth_> azureal, I think your only real option is to back up and install the source for the kernel with sources in apt
[05:43] <sanmarcos> UpMarc, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Printers
[05:43] <Coruscant> sanmarcos is there?
[05:43] <Nimwei> What's the package for a GUI? I don't want Gnome..I'd prefer the Ice GUI.
[05:43] <UpMarc> sanmarcos: I've been to many pages already... they always treat it as if everything goes well... and even in the forums
[05:43] <sanmarcos> Nimwei, apt-cache search icewm
[05:43] <Nimwei> thanks sanmarcos.
[05:43] <UpMarc> I have been there already
[05:43] <Gun_Smoke> seth_:  Any other ideas?
[05:43] <sanmarcos> UpMarc, well if something is not going well, write a detailed description and ask here
[05:43] <Nimwei> I guess I'll ask an opinion too - what do you guys think is the best GUI to use?
[05:43] <gleaken> http://www.geocities.com/stomljen/readme.html
[05:44] <Nimwei> I've had issues with Gnome and my box so thats why I don't want to use it.
[05:44] <visik7> anyone here know internals of ubiquity
[05:44] <gleaken> gives the whole thing, now I have two other issues
[05:44] <Rookie-> KDE or WindowMaker
[05:44] <UpMarc> I'm telling you... the printer is installed... jos in line.... but no prinitng
[05:44] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, I would strace synaptic and capture the dpkg error.  I'm not sure you'll be able to interpret the data, though.
[05:44] <hippie23> kde for me
[05:44] <azureal> seth_: oh, I suppose... I've backed up those directories already, but what is the danger of downloading and compiling .17 from source?
[05:44] <gleaken> first is easy, doing the reset of the resolution automatically on reboot
[05:44] <JackONeill> I need to find (or install) the directory full of C header files that match my running kernel - anyone know where I should look on the filesystem or what package to install!!??!!!
[05:44] <dougsko> Nimwei: i like fluxbox, its light, customizable, and it looks nice
[05:44] <UpMarc> no messages... no nothing
[05:44] <gleaken> the other is how do I move the screen up?
[05:44] <lmosher> How do I set up a different image on each desktop? system>prefs>desktop background doesn't have an obvious note for which desktop gets which wallpaper.
[05:44] <Gun_Smoke> seth_:  Probably not..
[05:44] <gleaken> part of the bottom doc is cut off
[05:44] <Gun_Smoke> ugg
[05:44] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, I don't mean to be insulting, it is very low level o/s stuff
[05:44] <sanmarcos> lmosher, you cant
[05:45] <sanmarcos> lmosher, checkout devilspie I believe might be useful
[05:45] <Gun_Smoke> seth_:  Your not.. I'm fairly new
[05:45] <Coruscant> sanmarcos you started to help and stopped
[05:45] <steveO> What packages would I have to remove in order to boot to a command prompt?  I don't really want/need a GUI for now.
[05:45] <hippie23> yall have a good nite
[05:45] <lmosher> sanmarcos, I'm new to gnome (came from KDE on Fedora) and that seems like an odd feature to be lacking :P
[05:45] <UpMarc> I think some configuration is wrong... can you tell me where to find "printer device"?
[05:45] <dougsko> peace, hippie23
[05:45] <lmosher> I'll check out devilspie
[05:45] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, in the state you are in you are stuck in a bad place because you really can't install anything until the problem is cleared.
[05:45] <Sir_Brizz> steveO, just change your runlevel
[05:45] <sanmarcos> Coruscant, if you talk to me, ask by name, else, I dont see your msgs, too much noise-to-signal ratio here. What is the problem
[05:45] <hippie23> peace out
[05:45] <sanmarcos> lmosher, gnome believes in simplicity
[05:46] <Rookie-> steveO - init
[05:46] <sanmarcos> lmosher, kde has other beliefs
[05:46] <Gun_Smoke> seth_:  Yeah I'm getting that... I think I could have done a clean install by now lol
[05:46] <Coruscant> sanmarcos, i need to know how to delete multiple entries of the same file quickly in nautilus
[05:46] <farous> steveO: you should have got the server cd. xserver-xorg is your gui server do not know how much will be removed if you remove it though
[05:46] <seth_> Gun_Smoke, yes, indeed, if that's a possibility, do it.
[05:46] <sanmarcos> Coruscant, select them with shift or ctrl
[05:46] <gleaken> Sir_Brizz, my windows box displays to all four corners of this screen, no problems, now, with xorg, it is a little too low, do you know how to change where the screen is?
[05:46] <lmosher> sanmarcos, yeah I do notice its UI is a bit cleaner
[05:46] <UpMarc> can someone tell me where to find "printer device"?
[05:46] <Sir_Brizz> you should have an auto adjust on your monitor
[05:46] <Sir_Brizz> gleaken, hould have an auto adjust on your monitor
[05:47] <Gun_Smoke> seth_:  yeah, it is.. But I have a lot of stuff on here that took me sometime to get..
[05:47] <Rookie-> !printers
[05:47] <ubotu> Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[05:47] <seth_> damn, somebody has my id again.  I'll be back in a minute after I reclaim my real nick, which is sethk
[05:47] <Coruscant> sanmarcos, i was hoping for a button or a code or something
[05:47] <gleaken> Sir_Brizz, but then the other machine will be out of place
[05:47] <sanmarcos> lmosher, we believe in standards, like the GNOME HIG, unified themes and icons. Well placed things. It tries to emulate the Apple philosophy somehow
[05:47] <gleaken> Sir_Brizz, these two are on a KVM
[05:47] <azureal> ok, guys, i'm going to put this aside for a while... thx seth_ , Sir_Brizz , dougsko
[05:47] <Sir_Brizz> gleaken, Windows auto adjusts your monitor, linux sometimes misses a bit
[05:47] <azureal> later
[05:47] <sanmarcos> Coruscant, delete the parent folder?. Honestly do you know of any file managers that would have such a destructive feature?
[05:48] <Nimwei> Ok, and my last question for now - what's a decent IRC package to get so I can get off of my windows box once I get KDE installed?
[05:48] <Rookie-> you have to tell linux .... or rather gone/kde or what ever you use
[05:48] <Gun_Smoke> seth_:  My update "sun" just showed up.. humm...
[05:48] <sanmarcos> Coruscant, you dont want that in hands of people that do not know what they are doing. Gnome believes in simplicity and ease of use. So short answer is no
[05:48] <Sir_Brizz> Nimwei, X-Chat
[05:48] <Coruscant> sanmarcos amarok does
[05:48] <sanmarcos> Nimwei, xchat, gnome-xchat, irssi
[05:48] <Coruscant> but it doesnt work for me
[05:48] <gleaken> Sir_Brizz, only problem is this is a slightly older plasma, and it does not actually pass back the right information to the computer it should.  Resolution and such can't be probed on this that I know of
[05:48] <dougsko> Coruscant: the real power is in the cli
[05:48] <varsendaggr> Coruscant, what are you trying to do?
[05:48] <sanmarcos> Coruscant, amarok inst a file manager. and its a kde package. KDE puts a thousand features and their mother to a single app. Very clutterd IMHO
[05:49] <Sir_Brizz> gleaken, Auto Adjust on the screen should just auto center where the image is actually being displayed
[05:49] <gleaken> Sir_Brizz, PDP-502MX/1 it is a Pioneer plasma
[05:49] <sanmarcos> Coruscant, and follow what dougsko said, the real power is in the terminal
[05:49] <Coruscant> dougsko unfortunally im useless in unix im a born dos user unfortunatly
[05:49] <sethk> Gun_Smoke, I'm not sure what is going on there at all.  but see if your package configuration was magically fixed as well.
[05:49] <dougsko> Coruscant: well what exectly are you trying to do?
[05:49] <sanmarcos> Coruscant, #bash might be more helpful at that
[05:49] <Trae> Anyone have an LCD willing to try some debugging of fonts for me please?  It's very simple.  Just go:  System > Preferences, Font  and change:  Fixed width font: to be,  Bitstream Vera Sans Mono size 8
[05:49] <JackONeill> I need to get my current linux kernels header files - anyone know what package that might be called1?
[05:50] <Trae> then open up gnome-terminal
[05:50] <sanmarcos> Trae, fontconfig has specific settings for lcd such as subhinting, you can set them in the gnome prefernces shit
[05:50] <Coruscant> dougsko for some reason it put many of the same files in the music folder
[05:50] <dougsko> JackONeill: search for "linux" in synaptic, you'll see them
[05:50] <Trae> sanmarcos, check this screenshot out: http://occy.net/tmp/screenshots/busted_monospace.png
[05:50] <DanaG> Too bad there isn't a utility to change resolutions in NVIDIA BIOS.
[05:50] <sanmarcos> Trae, you can change the font on the temrinal without doing it system wide
[05:50] <Trae> sanmarcos, I have that setting checked
[05:50] <carpediem> JackONeill: linux-kernel-headers
[05:50] <dougsko> Coruscant: like a.mp3, a1.mp3...?
[05:50] <Gun_Smoke> sethk:  Might be getting somewhere
[05:50] <sanmarcos> Trae, use another font?
[05:50] <Trae> sanmarcos, yes, I know this... trying to make it easy for someone to test
[05:51] <dougsko> Coruscant: but they're all the same file?
[05:51] <Coruscant> dougsko yea mostly mp3
[05:51] <Trae> sanmarcos, if you aren't willing to try it, thanks for your time.
[05:51] <Trae> sanmarcos, I'm trying to see if I can get someone else to confirm this bug.
[05:51] <dougsko> Coruscant: i dont care about the extention, what are the names like?
[05:51] <Coruscant> no theres about 300 originals and 600 copies for some reason dougsko
[05:51] <Trae> sanmarcos, I have default Ubuntu installed
[05:51] <gleaken> Sir_Brizz, I am a little slow tonight, I forgot that the windows box has an nVidia, the control panel allows for shifting of the display.  I can put it right in xorg and change the windows display around to fit it
[05:51] <Trae> sanmarcos, so everyone should have this bug.
[05:51] <dougsko> Coruscant: because you can use globbing
[05:51] <sanmarcos> Coruscant, for f in *mp3; do rm -i "$f"; done, that will interactively ask you if you want to remove an mp3 file
[05:52] <Sir_Brizz> gleaken, awesome!
[05:52] <Trae> sanmarcos, someone in #ubuntu-offtopic tried it for me, but she had a CRT
[05:52] <Coruscant> dougsko theyre like 01 bandname songname.mp3
[05:52] <sanmarcos> Coruscant, you can use *(mp3|MP3) also
[05:52] <Trae> hence
[05:52] <Nimwei> Ok, so where must I get the kubuntu theme..because the KDM install didn't include it.
[05:52] <Trae> I'm looking for someone who has LCD to try that font size
[05:52] <Trae> hmmm
[05:52] <sanmarcos> Coruscant, again, CLI questions will be answered in #bash
[05:52] <Coruscant> to delet copies sanmarco and dougsko
[05:52] <Sir_Brizz> Nimwei, #kubuntu
[05:52] <dholmes> Last time I installed AMD64 Ubuntu it had a few problems, like packages I wanted were only available in x86 repositories, and I couldn't get some of my more proprietary hardware to work.  Can anybody tell me if the situation has improved in the past 1.5 year or so?
[05:53] <sanmarcos> Coruscant, apt-get install fdupes
[05:53] <dholmes> I'm trying to decide if I should install AMD64 or just x86
[05:53] <sethk> dholmes, it's improved, but there are still things unavailable in 64 bit.
[05:53] <steveO> i've heard lots of people having luck with amd64...
[05:53] <sanmarcos> Coruscant, http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/10/08/find-duplicate-copies-of-files/
[05:53] <sethk> dholmes, I would stay with x86 for now.
[05:53] <Coruscant> sanmarcos what does it do
[05:53] <dholmes> Okay, thanks
[05:53] <Coruscant> the cli name
[05:53] <sanmarcos> Coruscant, apt-cache show fdupes
[05:53] <sethk> dholmes, I do have one server machine running 64 bit, for which I have very specific requirements, and it is running well.
[05:54] <Gun_Smoke> sethk: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20349 apt-get update works fine now.. upgrade on the other hand..... can I just remove item that is in error?
[05:54] <Coruscant> sanmarcos i know what  they are i want to delete them
[05:54] <meeko> where's a good place to get gnome themes?
[05:54] <dougsko> dholmes: i was running the sparc64 version, and it was great
[05:54] <sanmarcos> Cornellius, I am trying to make it easier for you
[05:54] <sethk> Gun_Smoke, upgrade isn't typically needed.  so do the update, and then see if you can use synaptic.
[05:54] <Cornellius> sanmarcos: Coruscant Coruscant
[05:54] <dholmes> The things that didn't work last time were Wine, the binary nvidia drivers, and ndiswrapper on my Broadcom wireless
[05:54] <Cornellius> sanmarcos: :)
[05:55] <crimsun> Trae: that actually seems like a vte bug.
[05:55] <Coruscant> Cornellius what?
[05:55] <crimsun> Trae: the bounding box seems too narrow
[05:55] <frogzoo> dholmes: wine won't run 64bit - only way is a 32bit chroot
[05:55] <sanmarcos> Coruscant, just cd to the directory where the dupes are
[05:55] <Trae> crimsun, hmmm (howdy btw)
[05:55] <ardchoille> !themes > meeko
[05:55] <sanmarcos> Coruscant, and do for f in $(fdupes .); echo "Removing duplicate: $f" && rm "$f"; done
[05:55] <Trae> crimsun, I'm going to boot another laptop and see if it does it there.
[05:55] <crimsun> Trae: it should be easy to verify: create a new user and use size 8
[05:55] <Trae> crimsun, it didn't show up for Michelle|X
[05:55] <dholmes> I'll just stick with 32-bit then
[05:55] <Trae> crimsun, and she has CRT
[05:56] <sanmarcos> Cornellius, rather for f in $(fdupes .); do  echo "Removing duplicate: $f" && rm "$f"; done
[05:56] <sanmarcos> Coruscant, sorry that line was for you
[05:56] <Trae> crimsun, going to try default Live cd
[05:56] <gleaken> Sir_Brizz, thanks for the help, I modified the /etc/default/915resolution file, now let's see if this will come back up on reboot...  Hold on to your knickers
[05:56] <Sir_Brizz> gleaken, gl
[05:56] <Trae> this is annoying me
[05:56] <Trae> ;)
[05:56] <gleaken> thanks
[05:56] <Coruscant> um sanmarcos all that on one line to delete dups?
[05:56] <crimsun> Trae: I'd be happy to help you, but I'm in Edgy, sorry.
[05:56] <sanmarcos> Coruscant, yes
[05:56] <meeko> thanks
[05:56] <Trae> crimsun, no problems buddy
[05:56] <Nimwei> xchat is weird heh
[05:56] <Gun_Smoke> sethk: Nope.. E: The package limewire-free needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[05:56] <Gun_Smoke> E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report.
[05:56] <frogzoo> dholmes: best way
[05:57] <Trae> crimsun, how's that workin' out for you?
[05:57] <Trae> crimsun, it was good to see Jono got the UCM job!
[05:57] <Trae> crimsun, I pimped you to Mark when I had him on the phone
[05:57] <Trae> *chuckle*
[05:57] <Coruscant> sanmarcos it says bash: syntax error near unexpected token `done'
[05:57] <crimsun> Trae: Edgy has definitely been...edgy.
[05:57] <Coruscant> get rid of the "done"
[05:57] <sanmarcos> Coruscant, for f in $(fdupes .); do  echo "Removing duplicate: $f" && rm "$f"; done
[05:58] <sanmarcos> Coruscant, no, make sure you copy the line as I gave it to you
[05:58] <dougsko> dapper's been a little edgy too
[05:58] <Trae> crimsun, :/
[05:58] <Trae> crimsun, that's why it's still pre-alpha right? ;)
[05:58] <crimsun> :)
[05:58] <Coruscant> sanmarcos now it says bash: syntax error near unexpected token `do'
[05:59] <sanmarcos> Coruscant, use copy and paste, those are semicolons
[05:59] <Trae> man, this lappie is sloooow
[05:59] <dougsko> the newest 686 kernel was really screwing with my laptop. it was running at 30% cpu all the time. turns out it is buggy
[05:59] <dougsko> i just had to switc back to 386 and im all good now
[05:59] <Coruscant> sanmarcos you said do it all at once, so i need to do it seperatly?
[05:59] <sanmarcos> Coruscant, just copy the line and paste in the dir where your duplicate files are
[05:59] <mrproper> How do I know what driver X is running at that moment?
[05:59] <sanmarcos> Coruscant, make sure fdupes was installed. It is not that hard
[06:00] <dougsko> but if any one has a problem with their box running hot, and you're using the 686, that could be whats wrong
[06:00] <sanmarcos> mrproper, try xdpyinfo, maybe
[06:00] <Trae> ok, X has started...
[06:00] <verbose> dougsko: that might mean your cpu is buggy instead :P
[06:01] <mrproper> sanmarcos, I don't see a driver in there.
[06:01] <ag[1] > i'm trying to make hostname and hostname -f to be the same, so i edit /etc/hosts   (line 1) 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost (line 2) 192.168.2.110 ahazg.pc                  but it doesnt work when i type hostname i get ahazg and for hostname -f i get ahazg.pc    i want both to be ahazg.pc
[06:01] <axisys> how do i upgrade dapper to 6.06.1 lts?
[06:01] <Coruscant> sanmarco could you go to #sanmarcos ?
[06:01] <dougsko> verbose: no, its not. i looked it up, i forget what bug number it was, but its a known issue. the symptons matched perfectly
[06:01] <axisys> !upgrade
[06:01] <ubotu> Upgrading to Ubuntu 5.10 breezy -> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade  Upgrading to Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades  Note: gksudo "update-manager -d" always updates to the latest development version.
[06:01] <farous> mrproper: look up xorg.conf then lsmod |grep the module it is using for the driver
[06:01] <dougsko> and since i switched back to the 386, its been all gravy
[06:01] <mrproper> farous, Sure, but I wana make sure it's running that driver.
[06:02] <Gun_Smoke> sethk:  Getting everything ready for a clean install.. syncing bookmarks.. I should have everything up and running again soon enough.
[06:02] <farous> mrproper: i think if you lsmod you will know if the driver is loaded and what is usiing it
[06:03] <Xenguy> Has anyone found a good way to install vim 7 on dapper (a backport would be perfect) ?
[06:03] <mrproper> farous, So okay.  How do I verify that 3d accel is working?
[06:03] <farous> mrproper: glxinfo |grep render
[06:03] <ag[1] > i'm trying to make hostname and hostname -f to be the same, so i edit /etc/hosts   (line 1) 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost (line 2) 192.168.2.110 ahazg.pc                  but it doesnt work when i type hostname i get ahazg and for hostname -f i get ahazg.pc    i want both to be ahazg.pc
[06:03] <mrproper> farous, What should I see?
[06:04] <farous> direct rendering : yes
[06:04] <mrproper> farous, I just see OPenGL renderer string: <video card>?
[06:05] <mrproper> farous, I do now see direct rendering yes
[06:05] <mrproper> farous, Okay so that means it works, huh?
[06:05] <farous> mrproper: then you have 3d accel
[06:05] <mrproper> farous, Can I know if I have pixel shaders?
[06:06] <farous> mrproper: never looked for it myself. a good place too look for is /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[06:06] <mrproper> farous, I'm trying to setup XGL in Dapper.
[06:06] <farous> mrproper: am not sure but just glxinfo might say something
[06:07] <farous> mrproper: i am not an xgl fan :)
[06:07] <mrproper> farous, Why's that?
[06:07] <farous> hmm not that of an eye candy for me and consumes lot of resources
[06:07] <Rehevkor> I've got a fresh install of Xubuntu and, for some reason, it gives me an authentification failure when I try to su in the terminal
[06:08] <arm73c05> should i be replacing archive.ubuntu.com with another host?
[06:08] <arm73c05> us.archive.ubuntu.com
[06:08] <ardchoille> Rehevkor: So, you type su and then?
[06:08] <Rehevkor> then I enter my password
[06:08] <gleaken> Sir_Brizz, no go, I can't even get it into the widescreen mode anymore
[06:08] <ardchoille> Rehevkor: That won't work. Use sudo for admin taksks
[06:09] <Rehevkor> thought that used to work... oh well
[06:09] <Rehevkor> thanks anyway
[06:09] <ardchoille> Rehevkor: The reason it won't work is because the system expects you to type the root password for su and the root account is disabled by default
[06:09] <gleaken> Sir_Brizz, is there any other place besides /etc/X11/xorg.conf that the screen resolution is kept?
[06:09] <gleaken> Sir_Brizz, I have a different resolution in GDM than I do on the desktop
[06:10] <Gun_Smoke> I killed Ubuntu.. Off to do a clean install. :(
[06:10] <sethk> gleaken, gdm is going to use the highest available resolution in xorg.conf
[06:11] <sethk> gleaken, even if the default resolution for the desktop is not the highest
[06:11] <varsendaggr> hey how do i use cli to change permissions and owners
[06:11] <gleaken> but there is nothing but 1280x768 in all of the display sections
[06:11] <nemish> I'm having a problem that drm module is trying to load before agpgart and this will not work to get DRI support in X. Does anyone know how to change the order? I've tried adding the modules in the correct order to /etc/modules but no luck. I'm going to try adding them to blacklist but not sure if that will work or just break things even more
[06:12] <nemish> can someone help?
[06:12] <gleaken> Sir_Brizz, I removed everything but 1280x768
[06:12] <sethk> gleaken, check your X log file, see what resolutions are being used
[06:12] <mrproper> farous, Thansk!

[06:14] <ctkt05> ive got a network problem... i have 3 machines behind a router, 2 windows and 1 ubuntu. the windows machines have no problems accessing everything outside the router (google, etc.) but the ubuntu machine can only get to outside pages by their IP address

[06:16] <inc|freaky> are there any cool console tools someone should have?
[06:16] <sethk> ctkt05, if you can ping them, try to resolve names using the dig command
[06:16] <gleaken> sethk, do you know how to force a refresh rate?
[06:16] <inc|freaky> *one should have
[06:16] <ardchoille> ctkt05: Is your router IP above the name server ip's in resolv.conf?
[06:16] <sethk> gleaken, you can specify it during dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:17] <sethk> gleaken, it will list the ones it believes your card and monitor can handle.  if you select from those, it will work because it's the same logic that decides whether or not a mode is usable
[06:17] <ripper> i have a box that has an ati x200 graphics adapter in it, and x wont run
[06:17] <ripper> any ideas?
[06:17] <ctkt05> it is not in there
[06:17] <farous> rikioh: use the ati open source driver and it will run
[06:17] <wweasel> Hey all. I'd like to teach my niece how to touch type.  Does anyone here have a program to recommend, that is both fun and teaches proper typing?
[06:18] <sethk> ctkt05, what is not in where?
[06:18] <nirmal> !fglrx
[06:18] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:18] <ctkt05> my router is not the top ip in the resolv.conf
[06:18] <ardchoille> ctkt05: ok, I was just checking if your problem was the same as the one I experienced recently
[06:18] <sethk> ctkt05, the router should not be there at all
[06:18] <sethk> ctkt05, only name servers
[06:19] <farous> ripper: fglrx will not work with your card. I think this is an integrated card right
[06:19] <ctkt05> i did dig www.google.com and it comes back with 13 authority responses and under server it lists one of my nameservers
[06:19] <sethk> ctkt05, hm, then dns is working
[06:19] <sethk> ctkt05, www.google.com doesn't work in a browser?
[06:19] <ctkt05> nope
[06:20] <sethk> ctkt05, try it again.  if the browser is running, kill it.  make sure all instances of it are dead.  then run it again and try again.
[06:20] <sethk> ctkt05, I imagine it will do the same thing, but check for me; it is a quick check.
[06:21] <ctkt05> no luck, ive been having this problem since i got the machine on the wireless network
[06:21] <sethk> ctkt05, check your routing table.  make sure there is only one default route, and it is correct
[06:21] <sethk> ctkt05, then, try a   traceroute www.google.com
[06:22] <tuxtheslacker> hello. how do I add the multiverse, etc
[06:22] <tuxtheslacker> ?
[06:22] <ctkt05> how do i check the routing table, and traceroute says address can not be found
[06:22] <sethk> tuxtheslacker, you can do it in synaptic.  you can edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:22] <sethk> ctkt05, route  (with no arguments)   prints the routing table
[06:23] <tuxtheslacker> okay, I'm just dumb :-D
[06:23] <kdean06> How do I append a revision number using apt-build?
[06:23] <carpediem> ctkt05: type route
[06:23] <tuxtheslacker> I'm trying to talk my gf through the switch, and it's been a while since I've done this myself.
[06:23] <sethk> tuxtheslacker, I didn't imply that
[06:23] <ctkt05> ok, its got 2 entries first one is 192.168.0.0 and second one is default
[06:23] <tuxtheslacker> sethk, I know, I flat out said that :-)
[06:23] <tuxtheslacker> I forgot to double click.
[06:23] <carpediem> ctkt05: that's probably fine
[06:23] <sethk> ctkt05, that sounds reasonable.
[06:23] <sethk> tuxtheslacker, ok  :)
[06:24] <bam_bam> hi all when i first installed ubuntu i didnt set my hostname so now it says user@localhost~$ at the prompt. how can i change it so my system has a hostname?
[06:24] <carpediem> ctkt05: try running "sudo dhclient eth0"
[06:24] <sethk> ctkt05, In this situation I would capture packets and see what is going on
[06:24] <ctkt05> how would i do that
[06:24] <sethk> carpediem, why?
[06:24] <sethk> carpediem, I can't see any situation consistent with the data where that might help
[06:24] <carpediem> sethk: if he's not resolving a host
[06:25] <wweasel> Does anyone here know of a good typing game that my niece (11) would enjoy to learn how to touch type?
[06:25] <bam_bam> hi all when i first installed ubuntu i didnt set my hostname so now it says user@localhost~$ at the prompt. how can i change it so my system has a hostname?
[06:25] <sethk> carpediem, setting the name servers to what the name servers are already set to will not fix that
[06:25] <sethk> carpediem, and it is resolving.  we proved that with dig
[06:25] <Mr-Petah> hi all
[06:25] <carpediem> sethk: sorry, missed that bit.
[06:25] <sethk> carpediem, ok
[06:25] <kdean06> bam_bam, echo "hostname" > /etc/hostname && /bin/hostname -F /etc/hostname
[06:25] <Mr-Petah> i have one question (my english is so bad, but need suport in english)
[06:25] <sethk> carpediem, this is very strange.  dig works, but names don't resolve in the browser.
[06:25] <kdean06> bam_bam, No quotes. :)
[06:25] <bam_bam> kdean06: thanks
[06:25] <ctkt05> not sure if this helps but...
[06:26] <carpediem> sethk: can he ping an IP?
[06:26] <ctkt05> i had this exact problem with a windows machine, i disabled lmhosts lookup and netbios over tcp/ip
[06:26] <Mr-Petah> i try download the dvd of dapper via torrent, but the torrent client says me: [ubuntu-6.06-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent]  - rejected by tracker [http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/announce]  - Requested download is not authorized for use with this tracker.
[06:26] <ctkt05> and it fixed it for some reason
[06:26] <ardchoille> kdean06: That's not gonna work, he would need to edit those files as admin user
[06:26] <Mr-Petah> wath's happen?
[06:26] <sethk> carpediem, he can ping by ip, and he can browse by ip
[06:26] <ctkt05> carpediem, yes i can ping IPs
[06:26] <sethk> carpediem, and dig resolves, and his resolv.conf is correct
[06:26] <kdean06> ardchoille, bam_bam Yes, my mistake. That must be done as root. :)
[06:26] <Mr-Petah> what's happens?
[06:27] <carpediem> sethk, ctkt05: sorry, but are we sure we've got DNS set?
[06:27] <nalpha> guys can i talk with other user in my network with microphone? what software i should use???
[06:27] <sethk> Mr-Petah, there is a much easier way to do that.   simply:    sudo hostname  "whatever-you want-it-to-be"
[06:27] <ctkt05> yes, they are set
[06:27] <gleaken> sethk, no go
[06:27] <sethk> Mr-Petah, the quotes aren't necessary; I use them to emphasize that it's a string
[06:27] <sethk> carpediem, yes.  the only way dig can work is if dns is set correctly
[06:28] <sethk> carpediem, dig is just a dns lookup utility
[06:28] <gleaken> sethk, I tried the reconfigure, and the only thing that it did was add two lines for horiz and vert refresh
[06:28] <carpediem> ctkt05: has this adapter worked before under Linux?
[06:28] <gleaken> sethk, but they look like they are not doing what I want
[06:28] <tuxtheslacker> can someone send me the links on setting up multimedia again?
[06:28] <pilgrim> Hi all. Windows overwrote my MBR. How do I rewrite it with grub?
[06:28] <sethk> gleaken, you didn't select medium for the type of resolutions to specify
[06:28] <tuxtheslacker> like mp4 and xine?
[06:28] <pilgrim> I'm in my live cd btw.
[06:28] <ctkt05> no, this is my first time installing linux... i had to actually do a fresh install on it because the first time i couldnt get any administration things to open such as networking or synaptic
[06:29] <Mr-Petah> sethk, i use ubuntu, but the download is not me (sry 4 my battle english :P), and this boy dot use ubuntu now...
[06:29] <tuxtheslacker> her mp3*
[06:29] <ardchoille> !grub > pilgrim
[06:29] <gleaken> sethk, yes I did, why?
[06:29] <iq|mobile> hi
[06:29] <wweasel> Does anyone here know of a good typing game that my niece (11) would enjoy to learn how to touch type?
[06:29] <sethk> gleaken, when it gives you simple, medium, and complex (or whatever the words are), you have to select the medium option.  that will show you refresh rates and vertical syncs
[06:29] <Coffeegrinds> Quick and stupid question, how do i combine and extract rar files, or do i gotta download something  again ?
[06:29] <ardchoille> !info tuxtype
[06:29] <ubotu> tuxtype: educational Typing Tutor Game Starring Tux. In repository main, is optional. Version 1.0-5ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 4085 kB, installed size 5468 kB
[06:29] <sethk> gleaken, there isn't any way to accept selected resolution and refresh rate and not update xorg.conf
[06:29] <ardchoille> wweasel: ^^
[06:29] <carpediem> ctkt05: nm, what I was thinking is probably not the problem, though, if you are able to browse by IP.
[06:29] <tjtoml> i need drivers for my wireless card (d-link DWA-542), and d-link doesn't offer them. Any suggestions?
[06:29] <gleaken> sethk, it asked for what resolution and refresh, it did not have 1280x768, but I picked one with 60Hz
[06:30] <sethk> Mr-Petah, the command I gave you will work with any distro
[06:30] <carpediem> ctkt05: so, if you "ping google.com" what is the response?
[06:30] <Mr-Petah> and, please, use other words to say me the solution, can't understand some words, and is impossible join to ubuntu-es (i have some problems with a one member of the staff)
[06:30] <sethk> gleaken, did you use one that was already selected when you got to the screen listing resolutions?
[06:30] <sethk> gleaken, only the ones that have check marks next to them are possible
[06:30] <Mr-Petah> sethk, sudo in "winbugs"?
[06:30] <Mr-Petah> xDDD
[06:30] <gleaken> sethk, no because it was at 85Hz
[06:31] <ctkt05> ping: unknown host google.com
[06:31] <sethk> Mr-Petah, I have no idea what you might mean by winbugs
[06:31] <sethk> Mr-Petah, if you are asking how to set the host name in windows, you'
[06:31] <sethk> Mr-Petah, you've come to the wrong place  :)
[06:31] <Mr-Petah> nono
[06:31] <Mr-Petah> my question is...
[06:31] <iq|mobile> Question: How do I auto-detect my display card?
[06:31] <sethk> gleaken, only the ones checked when you get to that screen will work.
[06:31] <sethk> gleaken, is it possibly not correctly identifying your monitor?
[06:31] <Mr-Petah> need download the dapper dvd, but the tracker says me this message
[06:31] <gleaken> sethk, ok, let me try again
[06:32] <Mr-Petah> [ubuntu-6.06-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent]  - rejected by tracker [http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/announce]  - Requested download is not authorized for use with this tracker.
[06:32] <tjtoml> i need drivers for my wireless card (d-link DWA-542), and d-link doesn't offer them. Any suggestions?
[06:32] <gleaken> sethk, no, itis finding that it is a Pioneer, and giving me the correct model number
[06:32] <carpediem> ctkt05: I know this may not work based on what sethk is saying, but I'd like you to try "sudo dhclient eth0" (or replace eth0 with your adapter).  It can't hurt to try it.
[06:33] <Mr-Petah> ok see later, and tnx
[06:33] <sethk> tjtoml, unfortunately that doesn't tell us which chipset that particular d-link is using.  d-link has the bizarre habit of using different chipsets in cards with the same number.
[06:33] <iq|mobile> Can anyone help? How do I detect my display card? How do I change it, etc... ?
[06:33] <ctkt05> interesting... that worked, i am getting a response from ping www.google.com
[06:33] <verbose> iq|mobile: you can determine the type of card with lspci
[06:34] <ctkt05> it works in the browser as well
[06:34] <sethk> ctkt05, what worked?  what was the last thing you did?
[06:34] <verbose> iq|mobile: once you've determined that, use sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to configure your xorg.conf
[06:34] <ctkt05> what the hell does that do?
[06:34] <carpediem> ctkt05: cool.  Make sure you have "iface eth0 inet dhcp" in /etc/network/interfaces
[06:34] <ctkt05> what carpediem told me.... "sudo dhclient eth1"
[06:34] <carpediem> ctkt05: it just requests a DHCP lease
[06:34] <sethk> ctkt05, oh, I see
[06:34] <iq|mobile> thanks verbose
[06:35] <ctkt05> wierd
[06:35] <sethk> ctkt05, probably the dns information for eth1 was clobbered by dns for eth0
[06:35] <verbose> iq|mobile: no problem
[06:35] <gleaken> sethk, bbiam going to try again
[06:35] <tjtoml> sethk, is there any way i can determine that (i am still running windows becuase when i tried knoppix, i couldn't access the internet (no card.. duh)) unfortunately, using a wired connection is not reall an option..
[06:35] <ctkt05> ive got eth0 disabled
[06:35] <sethk> ctkt05, I didn't realize you have more than one eth
[06:35] <ctkt05> im only using wireless
[06:35] <sethk> ctkt05, only one?
[06:35] <pilgrim> I'm trying to recover grub menu after windows install. I don't have a partition for boot so I have to use manual grub. However, root (hd0,6) (/boot is in /dev/hda7) grub says it disk doesn't exist.
[06:35] <ctkt05> and i disabled eth0
[06:35] <sethk> ctkt05, has /etc/resolv.conf changed?
[06:35] <ctkt05> no change
[06:36] <sethk> I still can't explain this, because dig was working.
[06:36] <carpediem> sethk: not real familiar with dig, I just know that's what I do when I have his problem, and it usually works.
[06:36] <ctkt05> thanks for the help guys
[06:36] <ctkt05> you dont know how frustrated ive been with it
[06:37] <sethk> carpediem, unless he isn't configured properly, and a different dhclient command is run at boot
[06:37] <sethk> carpediem, but even if that were true, once /etc/resolv.conf is correct, dns is not going to change.
[06:37] <sethk> very strange.  I'll have to beat on some wireless boxes, see if that makes any sense at all.
[06:37] <kdean06> Does anyone know how to append a revision number using apt-build?
[06:37] <carpediem> sethk: or not at all (no "iface eth0 inet dhcp" line in interfaces)
[06:38] <pilgrim> Can someone help with restoring grub?
[06:39] <ctkt05> ok, last night i tried setting it up DHCP through system - networking, then i changed it to a static address
[06:39] <ctkt05> under my /etc/network/interfaces its showing static still
[06:39] <ctkt05> when i do ifconfig it shows that it has a dhcp address
[06:40] <ardchoille> pilgrim: The info ubotu sent you didn't help?
[06:40] <pilgrim> ardchoille: well...it helped but it didn't fix the issue.
[06:40] <ardchoille> Ahh
[06:41] <ctkt05> does ubuntu come with a irc client?
[06:41] <pilgrim> ardchoille: it's not seeing my disk for some reason.
[06:42] <digitallotus> ctkt05: gaim will do irc
[06:42] <sethk> ctkt05, oh, ok
[06:42] <sethk> ctkt05, it has a dhcp address because you ran dhclient
[06:42] <ardchoille> ctkt05: I'm not sure if Ubuntu ships with XChat or not. Try ALT+F2, type in xchat and see if it's there
[06:42] <ctkt05> cool... ill be right back on my ubuntu machine
[06:43] <sethk> ctkt05, I guess you mean is it installed as part of the default desktop installation option.
[06:43] <tjtoml> sethk, is there any way i can determine that (i am still running windows becuase when i tried knoppix, i couldn't access the internet (no card.. duh)) unfortunately, using a wired connection is not reall an option..
[06:43] <ctkt05> ok, now that i ran dhclient, it still shows under networking that ive got a static set up... what do i need to do to make sure it stays dhcp and wont do this to me again after a restart
[06:43] <sethk> ctkt05, it is certainly installable.
[06:43] <Madpilot> ctkt05, Gaim does IRC, although badly, and XChat is available in the Universe repo.
[06:43] <sethk> ctkt05, use network-admin to change it
[06:43] <earthsound> what partition utility is included in the alt install CD?
[06:43] <earthsound> *utilities
[06:43] <Touru> Isn't Xchat installed by defaut?
[06:43] <Madpilot> ctkt05, XChat-Gnome is also available, if you really want to inflict that on yourself ;)
[06:43] <Madpilot> Touru, not any more
[06:44] <tuxtheslacker> hey.
[06:44] <Touru> Oh, surprise.
[06:44] <tuxtheslacker> what was the multimedia codecs wiki page again
[06:44] <tuxtheslacker> ?
[06:44] <sethk> tjtoml, sorry, refresh my memory, what do you need to determine?
[06:44] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell tuxtheslacker about mp3
[06:44] <sethk> tjtoml, I've been talking to too many people.  :)
[06:44] <Awesome-o2000> what is xchat-gnome???
[06:44] <tuxtheslacker> Madpilot, thanks.
[06:44] <sethk> Awesome-o2000, xchat for the gnome desktop
[06:44] <Coffeegrinds> whats the correct syntaxt to uses to simply extract a multipart rar file? i have unrar-nonfree
[06:45] <Madpilot> Awesome-o2000, an attempt to make XChat easier to use by removing every useful feature
[06:45] <tjtoml> sethk, lol i need to know what type of chipset my d-link dwa 542 wireless adapter is using, so i hopefully can install it on linux
[06:45] <ardchoille> Madpilot: lol
[06:45] <pilgrim> OK. Do I have to reinstall just to get my grub back? that sucks.
[06:45] <sethk> tjtoml, with windows running you should be able to see that.
[06:45] <ardchoille> pilgrim: If the livecd isn't seeing your hd, then it can't install to it either
[06:45] <sethk> tjtoml, I'm not a windows expert.  try ipconfig /all
[06:46] <tjtoml> sethk, okay.
[06:46] <Nimwei_> is there a special logon I have to use for SAMBA?  Can't get to my file share from Windows..no username/password works.
[06:46] <sethk> tjtoml, you can get there, I've done it, but I don't remember exactly how.
[06:46] <mainer> pilgrim: no,what's the problem?
[06:46] <pilgrim> ardchoille: live cd can see hd and partition as matter of fact it's mounted right now. Grub cannot see them.
[06:46] <pilgrim> mainer: grub can't see hdd
[06:46] <iq|mobile> Another Question: Where do I get mpg codecs?
[06:47] <lucky> okay, i just installed ubuntu... grub gives me an error about being unable to mount the specified partition, i think it specified the wrong root partition and fails to boot because of that.  However when i go into the commandline on grub, specify root correctly, load the kernel and boot, my kernel fails about being unable to mount the root partition. :/
[06:47] <tjtoml> sethk, anything in particular i'm looking for? i ran the specified command
[06:47] <modern`> yo
[06:47] <Madpilot> iq|mobile, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[06:47] <mainer> check /etc/fstab,and re-install grub,was it on /mbr or boot-sector of root partiton?
[06:47] <Nimwei_> is there a special logon I have to use for SAMBA?  Can't get to my file share from Windows..no username/password works.
[06:47] <ctkt05> alright do i want xchat, xchat-common, or xchat-gnome
[06:47] <iq|mobile> thanks Madpilot
[06:47] <Madpilot> ctkt05, XChat, probably. I think that'll install xchat-common too - let apt-get sort it out
[06:48] <ardchoille> Madpilot:  it will
[06:48] <lucky> mainer: was that aimed at me?
[06:48] <pilgrim> Oh! I think it worked. The problem is that this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows  tells me to run /sbin/grub, whereas I need to run sudo /sbin/grub.
[06:48] <pilgrim> thanks for all your help
[06:48] <Touru> Is it possible to but /home on a separate partition, er, later, so to speak? Long after installing, when there is lots of stuff on it?
[06:48] <pilgrim> someone wanna update it. it's wiki right?
[06:49] <ardchoille> pilgrim: Glad you got it sorted :)
[06:49] <mainer> pilgrim: no prob you fixed it congrats:)
[06:49] <ardchoille> I'll update it
[06:49] <pilgrim> Touru: yes
[06:49] <Touru> pilgrim: Sweet. Is there a how-to or something?
[06:49] <pilgrim> Touru: hmm...not sure..is this after install?
[06:50] <Gun_Smoke> What is the command to force a module?
[06:50] <modern`> out of interest
[06:51] <Touru> pilgrim: Yeah, that's the problem.
[06:51] <ctkt05> sweet, im now on my ubuntu machine... thanks for the hel guys
[06:51] <pilgrim> Touru: I guess you can create a partition and then just move the /home/ stuff over.
[06:51] <pilgrim> Touru: then edit /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab and you're set.
[06:51] <Touru> pilgrim: Ah, problematic. Too full to do that. =)
[06:51] <Trae> crimsun, you still awake?
[06:52] <lucky> so does noone have any idea bout whats wrong?
[06:52] <pilgrim> Touru: I did this before install so I didn't have the same problem but I'm pretty sure there isn't much to it.
[06:52] <lucky> my root partition is on a SATA drive
[06:53] <crimsun> Trae: yes, but kinda busy atm. What's up?
[06:53] <Trae> http://occy.net/tmp/screenshots/ubuntu-6.06-livecd-busted_fonts.png
[06:53] <Trae> http://occy.net/tmp/screenshots/ubuntu-6.06-livecd-busted_fonts2.png
[06:53] <Trae> :)
[06:53] <Trae> tried one machine, it didn't work
[06:53] <Trae> tried another, it didn't work.
[06:53] <Trae> had to reboot this laptop to try
[06:53] <sethk> lucky, most likely a kernel module needed to read the SATA drive is not loaded at the point when the boot fails
[06:53] <pilgrim> Touru: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/
[06:53] <Trae> (cd was busted in one machine)
[06:53] <Trae> heh
[06:53] <pilgrim> Touru: check that guide. It might be it.
[06:53] <ardchoille> pilgrim: how far down the page was the "sudo" missing?
[06:53] <Touru> Thanks!
[06:53] <Trae> the other machine was a too old laptop
[06:53] <lucky> sethk: thats what i was thinking, er, how would i fix that?
[06:54] <sethk> lucky, that can be fixed by rebuilding the kernel with the sata support compiled in, or by constructing an initrd file system that loads the missing module and continues the boot
[06:54] <Touru> pilgrim: Ah, that's exactly what I'm hoping for. Excellent. =)
[06:54] <lucky> sethk: and... I'm fairly incompetent when it comes to matters of ...that. :/
[06:54] <sethk> lucky, both are a bit tricky, but the first (kernel rebuild with sata compiled in instead of module) is more manageable if you are new to this stuff
[06:54] <lucky> sethk: the issue is i have no environment to operate in, i'm running off the ubuntu live cd
[06:54] <Trae> ahhh
[06:54] <pilgrim> ardchoille: /sbin/grub  \n grub> root (hd0,2) \n grub> setup (hd0) \n grub> quit
[06:54] <Trae> it's working now
[06:55] <tjtoml> sethk, am i forgottenn?
[06:55] <mlowe> how can i boot dapper in single user mode ?
[06:55] <pilgrim> ardchoille: in other words under "recovering grub manually"
[06:55] <lucky> sethk: now, doesn't the default ubuntu install have a initrd filesystem? :/
[06:55] <pilgrim> ardchoille: thanks for changing it BTW.
[06:55] <ctkt05> my next task is to network to my windows laptop... where should i start to learn how to do this?
[06:55] <digitallotus> mlowe: you can add 'single' to the grub boot line, iirc
[06:55] <MadMerC> !ati
[06:55] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:55] <sethk> lucky, yes, but just having one isn't enough
[06:56] <lucky> sethk: it might just work if i could get it to use it
[06:56] <pilgrim> Touru: have fun because I'm off. :D
[06:56] <lucky> sethk: i have been trying to boot the kernel from grub manually because it has the root drive wrong
[06:56] <sethk> lucky, you can try.
[06:56] <Touru> pilgrim: Thanks. =D
[06:56] <sethk> lucky, the grub docs will tell you how to use one
[06:56] <pilgrim> Touru: you're welcome.
[06:56] <lucky> sethk: it thinks its (hd1,0) when its (hd0,0) but i have no idea how to get whatever default parameters ubuntu tries to boot with for that.
[06:56] <sethk> lucky, you can use an initrd manually from the grub prompt as well
[06:56] <pilgrim> ardchoille: got it?
[06:57] <axisys> anyone upgraded to 6.06.1 ?
[06:57] <ardchoille> pilgrim: Got it :)
[06:57] <lucky> sethk: is there some way i could edit my install's grub.conf from a live cd?
[06:57] <pilgrim> ardchoille: k. good night :)
[06:57] <sethk> lucky, sure
[06:57] <sethk> lucky, you have the partition mounted, probably.  so it will be in /mount-point/boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:57] <sethk> lucky, if you have a separate /boot partition in will bin in /mount-point/grub/menu.lst
[06:58] <lucky> sethk: okay, i'll try and try that
[06:58] <tbl> can anyone recommend a good dual-booting guide?
[06:58] <tbl> (between ubuntu and windows)
[06:58] <sethk> lucky, there is also a file in that directory that maps hdX to (hd#)
[06:58] <lucky> sethk: where is it mounted again?
[06:59] <lucky> never mind mounted it manually, sethk
[06:59] <ardchoille> Madpilot: I see the part he is talking about, but I don't feel comfy adding the word "sudo" because that part is talking about working form the Ubuntu livecd.
[06:59] <DShepherd> tbl: I really dont know of one.. but install windows first. then ubuntu... I personally dont think you need more info than that.. by hey.. I could be wrong
[06:59] <ardchoille> Madpilot: Should I let the help.ubuntu.com maintainers change that?
[06:59] <Madpilot> ardchoille, sudo works from the LiveCD
[06:59] <Madpilot> ardchoille, it's a wiki, anyone with an account is a 'maintainer' ;)
[07:00] <ardchoille> Madpilot: Ahh, ok, thanks
[07:00] <ardchoille> Madpilot: Good point :)
[07:00] <sethk> is that like an enabler?
[07:00] <lucky> sethk: okay, thanks, i'll try this :/
[07:00] <Nimwei_> Anyone know why I can't access my shared folders on Windows? No username/password combo I try are correct.
[07:01] <tbl> DShepherd: wouldn't that install ubuntu on top of windows? :(
[07:01] <ctkt05> how can i access my files on another machine on my network (with windows)
[07:01] <Nimwei_> running Samba, btw.
[07:01] <Nimwei_> ctk05 - apt-get install samba
[07:01] <sethk> Nimwei_, do you have a domain controller in your windows network?
[07:01] <Nimwei_> sethk - No, but my Windows computer is configured for a domain login when I get to work.
[07:02] <Nimwei_> Do I need to create a user for my domain\username on my server?
[07:02] <DShepherd> tbl: no... but windows... is very itchy.. with a 'b' so install windows first. make space for ubuntu on your harddrive...
[07:03] <sethk> Nimwei, possibly.  I know you have to do it a bit differently when there is a domain controller, and that the domain controller handles the authentication.
[07:03] <mrPolite> the windows installer has no respect for what may already be on your system ,except other windows installations. it overwrites your mbr without so much as a prompt
[07:03] <nalpha> guys how to copy file using scp??
[07:03] <sethk> Nimwei, I'm not a windows expert, though, so I don't really know all the details.
[07:04] <sethk> nalioth, scp machine-name-or-ip-address:/path/to/file  /local/path/to/file
[07:04] <tbl> mrPolite, heh, yeah
[07:04] <Nimwei> Sethk - Right, however there is no effective domain controller. It's a laptop trying to access my Server.  At work, I authenticate via a domani, but at home, its just a local login.
[07:04] <ardchoille> !scp
[07:04] <ubotu> scp is a secure way of copying files across networks using ssh. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - winscp is a windows scp client
[07:04] <sethk> nalpha, , scp machine-name-or-ip-address:/path/to/file  /local/path/to/file
[07:04] <sethk> nalpha, sorry, tab completion of wrong name.
[07:04] <sethk> damn
[07:05] <nalpha> thanx
[07:05] <sethk> nalioth, sorry, tab completion of wrong name  :)
[07:05] <RivercityOperato> Hi, I'm getting errors when trying to install DVD playback capability in Totem
[07:05] <nalpha> oh yah can scp transfer from my local to remote??
[07:05] <Nimwei> What's a decent MSN client?
[07:05] <Nimwei> Messenger, I mean.
[07:06] <Darkhack> aMSN seems popular but Gaim should be able to handle it
[07:06] <nalioth> sethk: tab-miscompletion-syndrome?
[07:06] <mrPolite> Nimwei: aMSN or Gaim
[07:06] <sethk> nalpha, yes, just put the host: part in the second file name instead of the first
[07:06] <sethk> nalioth, something like that  :)
[07:06] <sethk> nalioth, scp /somewhere/here  otherhost:/somewhere/there
[07:06] <sethk> did it again
[07:06] <nalpha> okey thanx alot
[07:07] <sethk> nalpha, , scp /somewhere/here  otherhost:/somewhere/there
[07:07] <nalioth> sethk: yes, i do it all the time, thank you   :)
[07:07] <mrPolite> you guys need to change up your nicks
[07:07] <tbl> DShepherd, yeah, I know windows sucks, but I still need it for work :(  But I really want to try ubuntu, and don't want to do it in a virtualized enviornment
[07:07] <sethk> nalioth, it is a match for more than two letters (in this case 3) and I'm used to typing two letters and hitting tab
[07:07] <Nimwei> wow, gaim is pretty sweet.
[07:07] <tbl> I have a partition manager app, so I can create a blank partition... I just want to know how hard it will be to dual-boot :/
[07:08] <DShepherd> tbl: i didnt say it sucks... its just pushy when it comes on to dual booting with almost anything..
[07:08] <nalioth> sethk: yes, i do it, too
[07:08] <NickGarvey> Nimwei: :)
[07:08] <mrPolite> Nimwei:  i think so too
[07:08] <nalioth> sethk: <tab> twice
[07:08] <Nimwei> I'd still like to figure out this Samba problem =P
[07:08] <tbl> DShepherd, well, *I* said it sucks :) ;)
[07:08] <RivercityOperato> mrPolite, nalioth, might you help me with the DVD capability installation?
[07:08] <DShepherd> tbl: kool
[07:09] <DShepherd> tbl: just install windows.. leave an unpartitioned portion for ubuntu.. and then install ubuntu there.. that should do fine.
[07:09] <mrPolite> RivercityOperato:  you need dvdcss, or you can use something like EasyUbuntu to automate the process
[07:09] <tbl> DShepherd, but how will I be able to switch between Windows and Ubuntu when booting?
[07:09] <DShepherd> tbl: but there's tons of how-tos, and tutorials and videos on the web talking about dual booting
[07:09] <sethk> tbl, you get a boot menu
[07:09] <tbl> sethk, cool, does ubuntu put that there?
[07:09] <RivercityOperato> I tried these steps, Mr Polite but I got an error on the third:
[07:09] <DShepherd> tbl: when ubuntu is being installed it installs grub. grub gives you a menu to choose from.
[07:10] <RivercityOperato> sudo apt-get install libdvdread3  sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh sudo apt-get install totem-xine
[07:10] <tbl> sweet
[07:10] <sethk> tbl, yes.  if windows is present when you install ubuntu, it is all automatic
[07:10] <DShepherd> tbl: or any other OS for that matter..
[07:10] <tbl> sethk: does it handle repartitioning the drive, or do I need to take care of that myself first?
[07:10] <bcron> tbl: yeah it's seemless just leave the partition with Windows alone in the install and it will be a boot option
[07:10] <nalioth> !tell RivercityOperato about dvd
[07:10] <DShepherd> tbl: you can do a search for a video is that will help.. I am sure there tons out there..
[07:10] <mrPolite> RivercityOperato: here ya go http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_DVD_playback_capability
[07:11] <sethk> tbl, depends what you mean.  there has to be free space on the disk for the installer to use.
[07:11] <bcron> tbl: I was typing before you asked that question... you have to parition the drive
[07:11] <NickGarvey> what does sbin stand for?
[07:11] <sethk> tbl, it won't shrink your windows partition; you'll have to do that before hand
[07:11] <sethk> NickGarvey, system bin
[07:11] <PyroManiak> what is bonobo-activation?
[07:11] <tbl> gotcha
[07:11] <RivercityOperato> that's exactly where I'm looking but it tells me that totem-xine is not available
[07:11] <NickGarvey> sethk: ah, thank you
[07:11] <nalioth> !tell RivercityOperato about repos
[07:11] <tbl> last question... should the ubuntu parition be Ext2 or Ext3?
[07:11] <RivercityOperato> do I need to add the extra repositories first?
[07:11] <nalioth> RivercityOperato: read the PM and enable universe and multiverse repos
[07:11] <Nimwei> tbl - ext3 is the standard nowadays i believe.
[07:11] <sethk> tbl, I prefer ext3.  neither is wrong.  ext3 is the default I believe.
[07:12] <tbl> DShepherd, sethk, bcron, really appreciate the help :)
[07:12] <rob86_> does anyone know how some people get "# $Id: CHANGELOG 218 2006-08-11 14:40:20Z garrett $ #" to go at the top of their files whenever it's changed?
[07:12] <PyroManiak> tbl: I used reiserfs
[07:12] <Gun_Smoke> when i try and run  sudo mv acx /root/  I get mv: missing destination file operand after 'acx/root/'   This shouldn't happen.. i just did this 1 day ago and it didn't happen.. (I'm reinstalling linux)
[07:12] <DShepherd> tbl: np
[07:12] <mrPolite> RivercityOperato:  yes, you need to repos, but thats as easy as checking a few checkboxes
[07:12] <tbl> PyroManiak: my partitioner app thing doesn't offer that one :(
[07:12] <PyroManiak> tbl: for ubuntu 6.06?
[07:12] <tbl> do I need a "linux swap" too?  or will one large ext3 do the trick?
[07:12] <DShepherd> tbl: ext3 is fine too
[07:12] <PyroManiak> tbl: make a swap
[07:12] <Hansel> tbl - setup a swap partition as well.
[07:12] <tbl> PyroManiak: well, I guess ubuntu will format the partition anyway, regardless of how this other app sets it up
[07:13] <hiffy> howdy folks
[07:13] <digitallotus> rob86_: you've got to use a version control system like cvs or subversion
[07:13] <tbl> how large should the swap be?
[07:13] <hiffy> has anyone gotten an ipod to work w/amarok?
[07:13] <digitallotus> at least, if you want the process to be automated
[07:13] <PyroManiak> bonobo-activation-server = what?
[07:13] <RivercityOperato> ok thankyou, nalioth and mrPolite, I imagine that's under Synaptic package manager?  exactly what boxes do I check in the manager?
[07:13] <UpMarc> can someone help me to configure my printer?
[07:13] <Hansel> tbl - twice the amount of RAM you have... think of it as a pagefile in Windows
[07:14] <rob86_> digitallotus: thanks.. I have subversion but am still learning how to use it
[07:14] <tbl> Hansel, ah, cool, thanks :)
[07:14] <Hansel> UpMarc - what kind of printer?  How do you connect? Network?  Parallel port?  USB?
[07:14] <tuxtheslacker> is there an easy way to install java?
[07:14] <digitallotus> aha, then you should be able to add something like $Id$ to the top of your files before checking them in
[07:14] <nalioth> RivercityOperato: read the PM and it'll explain
[07:14] <micahcowan> Hansel, is that still true? These days, with >= 512MB, I usually just use an equal amount of swap (for instance, on my 1G desktop)
[07:15] <Hansel> tuxtheslacker - yeah... get Synaptic and have it install everything for you  ;)
[07:15] <bcron> UpMarc, what have you done so far?
[07:15] <bcron> UpMarc, and what printer is it
[07:15] <bcron> tuxtheslacker, yeah use EasyUbuntu or Automatix it should install it automatically
[07:15] <Hansel> micahcowan - technically if you have 1gig you dont really need swap and you can force everything into RAM... I stick w/ the time-proven method though.
[07:15] <RivercityOperato> I guess I'm really dense: what's the PM?
[07:15] <UpMarc> Hansel: HP deskjet 3550, installed USB... test page printing.... but no paper at all
[07:15] <micahcowan> PM=private message
[07:15] <mrPolite> hiffy: sorry never got is working under amaroK, but didn't put much effort into it
[07:15] <RivercityOperato> oh nevermind; found it
[07:16] <tuxtheslacker> Hansel, what's the package thouhg. I'll just use apt-get
[07:16] <Hansel> tuxtheslacker - probably java2
[07:16] <hiffy> mrPolite: what do you use? I have a seething hatred of rhythmbox
[07:16] <Gun_Smoke> Can anyone help me?????????
[07:16] <Gun_Smoke> when i try and run  sudo mv acx /root/  I get mv: missing destination file operand after 'acx/root/'   This shouldn't happen.. i just did this 1 day ago and it didn't happen.. (I'm reinstalling linux)
[07:17] <Hansel> Gun_Smoke - you don't need the trailing /
[07:17] <RivercityOperato> crap sorry nalioth can you give me those links again? (i accidentally closed the pm window)
[07:17] <mrPolite> hiffy: as do i, unfortunately it seems to work. a viable alternative is in the works though in the form of songbird.
[07:17] <UpMarc> someone gave me the following clue:
[07:17] <alienseer23> how do I bind a key combination to something (like a file)?
[07:17] <UpMarc> the printer doesn't "see" the USB port.... how can I check this?
[07:18] <hiffy> mrPolite: songbird seems neat, but its way in the alpha stages
[07:18] <hiffy> hum.
[07:18] <micahcowan> Gun_Smoke, according to the error message, what you're really typing is "sudo mv acx/root/" (no space)
[07:18] <bcron> alienseer23, System, Preferences, Keyboard shortcuts
[07:18] <Hansel> UpMarc - you can lsmod and see if USB is listed I think.
[07:18] <alienseer23> k, thanks
[07:19] <goblyn> Ubuntu won't let me put my screen refresh rate any higher than 60Hz, but i know it can go up to 75, is there any way to change it?
[07:19] <Hansel> UpMarc - http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-DeskJet_3550
[07:20] <bcron> goblyn,  What video card are you using?
[07:20] <RivercityOperato> I've been wondering about that refresh rate too, goblyn
[07:20] <cafuego> If you have an LCD screen,. that refresh rate is irrelevent.
[07:20] <Hansel> goblyn - yes... in your XWindows configuration you set the vsync and hsync and it affects the refresh.
[07:20] <UpMarc> I have been to a lot of dites, and even wrote to HP (no answer yet)... what I need is personal help with someone that can follow the problem
[07:21] <h8red> Is there a way to start programs from the terminal, like if I wanted to start xchat, what would I type into the terminal to run it?
[07:21] <ardchoille> xchat
[07:21] <bcron> h8red,  give it a try
[07:21] <bcron> just type xchat
[07:21] <Hansel> h8red - xchat &&
[07:21] <adroand> can someone help me via pm?
[07:21] <UpMarc> I new to all this... what is  "mod and see if USB is listed"?
[07:21] <Hansel> if you type && then xchat wont close when you close the terminal
[07:22] <Hansel> adroand - just ask in the channel so we can all help.
[07:22] <goblyn> Hansel: how do i do that?
[07:22] <h8red> bash: xchat: command not found
[07:22] <UpMarc> how do |I do that?
[07:22] <adroand> i got eyesight problems so i cant read everything before it slips away :(
[07:22] <adroand> but ill start
[07:22] <Hansel> h8red - locate xchat
[07:22] <adroand> i install ubuntu remotely
[07:22] <adroand> via kvm
[07:22] <h8red> so i have to go to that directory first?
[07:22] <adroand> and now i gotta enable ssh so i can connect via ssh
[07:22] <adroand> without paying for KVM
[07:22] <Hansel> h8red - if it isn't in /usr/bin or /bin then you have to find it and ./xchat && from that directory it is in... ie /home/usr/xchat/./xchat &&
[07:22] <adroand> 30$/month
[07:22] <adroand> *hour
[07:22] <ardchoille> h8red: It should be in /usr/bin/xchat but I am guessing it isn't installed
[07:23] <h8red> ardchoille: i'm using it now
[07:23] <Hansel> adroand - are you having a box colocated?
[07:23] <dmg> is there an easy way to get my ati all-in-wondow card's tv-in working under ubuntu?  the gatos page says support was merged into xorg7, which is what edgy has, but google only shows me other people having trouble with it, and no successes.
[07:23] <adroand> Hansel: yes its allready colocated
[07:23] <adroand> i installed ubuntu via kvm
[07:23] <ardchoille> h8red: How did you install it?
[07:23] <adroand> with the server cd 6.0.6
[07:23] <Hansel> adroand - I used to remotely admin servers... upgrading and whatnot is a MAJOR bitch remotely...  :(
[07:24] <adroand> cant i like run ssh?
[07:24] <h8red> ardchoille: i think from add/remove programs
[07:24] <adroand> everything is easy after that
[07:24] <goblyn> Hansel: how do i change my xwindows configuration?
[07:24] <droje1> Hi all! This is my first time here
[07:24] <bcron> hi
[07:24] <Hansel> goblyn - I honestly don't recall where the config is... its probably in /etc/XFree86/ or something
[07:24] <droje1> I'm new to Ubuntu and linux
[07:24] <Hansel> goblyn - to be honest I haven't used Linux in about 5 years  hehe...
[07:24] <UpMarc> how do I mod and see if USB is listed?
[07:24] <bcron> lol
[07:25] <adroand> :(
[07:25] <ardchoille> h8red: If you did, then it would be in your path and would have launched when you typed xchat into a term
[07:25] <Hansel> goblyn - I am contemplating installing Linux again (formerly a Slackware slut then turned into a FreeBSD skank then gave up on free OSes for a bit)
[07:25] <rexbinary> goblyn, /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:25] <Hansel> what rexbinary said  ;)
[07:25] <Hansel> now it's coming back to me.
[07:25] <adroand> Hansel: any suggestions?
[07:25] <h8red> ardchoille: i found it, but it is named "xchat-gnome" that ran it, but now my terminal is stuck
[07:26] <adroand> I tried apt-get install ssh
[07:26] <adroand> but it asks for the cd which is allready in it
[07:26] <adroand> i dont think it can axx the interweb atm
[07:26] <Hansel> adroand - you can apt-get it from a repository...
[07:26] <adroand> how can i set that up?
[07:26] <rexbinary> Hansel, I'm where you were atm, playing with FreeBSD and Linux a lot but starting to tire of it hehe
[07:26] <Hansel> apt-get install http://some.place/ssh.whatever.deb
[07:26] <adroand> ping google.com doesnt work
[07:26] <Hansel> rexbinary - yeah... it's slowly getting better and better but still not at a place where I personally can consistently use it day to day for what I need.
[07:26] <bcron> Hansel: what have you been using since then?  Windows or Mac?
[07:26] <ardchoille> h8red: do ctrl+c then run it with xchat-gnome &&
[07:26] <adroand> how do i setup the interweb settinsg :D
[07:27] <Hansel> bcron - Windoze...
[07:27] <adroand> i know the ip, subnet and default gateway
[07:27] <mike__> is there an easy way to share my wired internet connection via my wireless card?
[07:27] <Hansel> && = detach
[07:27] <rexbinary> Hansel, it's good learning though at least, since OS X, FreeBSD and Linux have so much in common
[07:27] <Hansel> mike__ - yes but that is a MAJOR pain.  Go spend $40 on a wireless router instead  ;)
[07:27] <sethk> mike__, it isn't too difficult, but I'm not sure I'd call it easy
[07:28] <bcron> I know after trying to get something simple working in Slack for a few hours and I boot back into Windows I think it's not so bad
[07:28] <Hansel> rexbinary - yeah... plus when I do security evaluations of unix-like OSes for different clients I know wtf I'm doing  ;)
[07:28] <droje1> I'm a total newbie to Unbuntu. I'm running amd64. How do I get Totem to play Divx?
[07:28] <rexbinary> hehe
[07:28] <sethk> rexbinary, Hansel,  don't forget all the System V variants out there
[07:28] <h8red> ardchoille: it gave me an arrow, but as soon as i typed something and hit enter it brought up the xchat window and the terminal is stuck again
[07:28] <adroand> how do I set my interweb settings over commandline + KVM :D
[07:28] <mike__> Hansel, i'm at a hotel room right now trying to share with my girlfriend's iBook
[07:28] <adroand> someone help me im fucked
[07:28] <adroand> :(
[07:28] <mike__> Hansel, i set it up in windows pretty easily, but i have linux work to do
[07:28] <Hansel> adroand - ifconfig you mean?
[07:29] <mike__> sethk, got a link to a guide?
[07:29] <ardchoille> h8red: do ctrl+c then run it with xchat-gnome &  sorry about the extra "&" the first time
[07:29] <Hansel> adroand - I'm not clear on what you are trying to do... you want to use kvm remotely to install ssh to do what now?
[07:29] <adroand> Hansel yes
[07:29] <adroand> and connect via ssh
[07:29] <sethk> mike__, I don't, although I'm sure there are several.  You'll have to turn on ip forwarding with sysctl
[07:29] <adroand> but internet axx isnt working
[07:29] <Rehevkor> Is there a way I can disable the PC speaker in Xubuntu? I have it on my laptop, and the beeps are just too damn loud.
[07:29] <adroand> like its set to DHCp i think
[07:30] <goblyn> ok, well i have my xwindows configuration file open, so what exactly do i change now
[07:30] <h8red> ardchoille: what does the && do?
[07:30] <Hansel> Rehevkor - I think you can set it with the sound command... man sound mebbe?  It's like sndconfig or sound or something...
[07:30] <ardchoille> h8red: that was a typo
[07:30] <Rehevkor> no entry for man sound
[07:30] <bcron> h8red: did you try to use the launcher?  Alt+f2
[07:30] <Gun_Smoke> Hansel:  I'm following this how-to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=212365&highlight=wg111v2 .  I followed this just the other day and it worked just fine.. what am I doing wrong?
[07:30] <Hansel> Rehevkor - sndconfig?
[07:31] <h8red> archoille: so the single "&" just pretty much does the ctrl+c for you?
[07:31] <Gun_Smoke> Hansel:  I'm stuck at step 3
[07:31] <Rehevkor> nope
[07:31] <sethk> h8red, control-z plus bg, not control-c
[07:31] <sethk> h8red, control-c kills
[07:31] <Hansel> Gun_Smoke - cd /lib/modules/kernel[version] /kernel/drivers/net/wireless    then      ls acx          See if it is even there first  ;)
[07:32] <ardchoille> h8red: No, adding a "&" after the app tells the system to run the app in the background so you can get your prompt back
[07:32] <adroand> pfff
[07:32] <Hansel> Gun_Smoke - just su root and screw sudo for a bit  ;)  When messing with the kernel you might as well do it with some balls.
[07:32] <Gun_Smoke> ha
[07:32] <adroand> i hate channels where 10239019301 million people talk at the same time, it fux my eyes :D
[07:32] <ardchoille> h8red: And the app won't close when you close the terminal
[07:32] <droje1> Anyone willing to help a newbie?
[07:32] <h8red> ardchoille: is there anyway that i can use xchat in the terminal window?
[07:32] <lostsync> oh cool i didn't know about &
[07:33] <Hansel> droje1 - man totem?
[07:33] <Hansel> droje1 - will the totem app even start in X for you?  Are you just in need of codecs?
[07:33] <ardchoille> h8red: No, xchat is a gui app.. if you want a text-based irc client, check out irssi.. that's what I use
[07:33] <Hansel> It was all about BitchX when I was a console IRCer  :)
[07:33] <hiffy> Where does one find the unstable repositories, by the by?
[07:33] <droje1> just need codecs
[07:33] <RivercityOperato> thanks again nalioth, I'll be back another day if it doesn't work
[07:33] <ardchoille> h8red: You can use irssi in a term and even over ssh in a screen session
[07:33] <goblyn> what do i change in my xwindows configuration file to change my refresh refresh rate
[07:33] <Hansel> droje1 - there are codec packs you can get but configuring them is always the biotch...
[07:34] <h8red> ardchoille: can you connect to multiple servers within the same terminal with irssi?
[07:34] <Hansel> http://www.google.com/search?q=linux+totem+divx+codec
[07:34] <Rehevkor> Also, is there a way to navigate to network shares in Xubuntu?
[07:34] <ardchoille> h8red: yes
[07:34] <Hansel> h8red - yup.
[07:34] <ardchoille> h8red: http://irssi.org  there's some docs and screenshots there
[07:34] <h8red> what is the command for that, i'm used to /server -m in mirc
[07:34] <droje1> Hansel- I know that's why I'm here with you fine people. :)
[07:34] <ardchoille> h8red: irssi is in the repos, though
[07:35] <Hansel> droje - http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/redhat-fedora-linux-help/23568-divx-mplayer.html
[07:35] <dmg> h8red: /server +irc.other-server.org
[07:35] <Hansel> its fedora site but it is applicable to all distros  ;)
[07:35] <h8red> cool, thanks alot
[07:35] <gil> hey i need help with network manager
[07:35] <ardchoille> !info irssi
[07:35] <ubotu> irssi: terminal based IRC client. In repository main, is optional. Version 0.8.10-1ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 989 kB, installed size 2764 kB
[07:35] <hiffy> !info unstable
[07:35] <ubotu> Package unstable does not exist in dapper
[07:35] <hiffy> rught, gotcha.
[07:35] <Hansel> I always used mplayer and it came w/ all the codecs I needed....
[07:35] <ardchoille> h8red: open a term and type irssi
[07:35] <gil> i installed it and now my network cuts off every now and then....
[07:36] <ardchoille> h8red: I'm thinking you may already have it
[07:36] <adroand> Hanna__
[07:36] <adroand> Hansel
[07:36] <gil> can someone help me?
[07:36] <h8red> ardchoille: your right, i have to figure it out now
[07:36] <lostsync> goblyn, edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to include the resolution you want.  xorg will use the 1st resolution entered under the bit dept section that's set as the default bit depth in xorg.conf
[07:36] <ardchoille> h8red: So Ubuntu ships with irssi, cool
[07:37] <Rehevkor> Hmm... apparently Thunar can't connect to remote machines. How difficult is it to change file managers in Xubuntu?
[07:37] <gil> i am using network manager aplet and i thought it was working fine...but i notice that my network cuts out every so often
[07:37] <gil> ?
[07:37] <Hansel> adroand - cd /etc            ls ssh*    It might actually be in a inetd.conf but I think its in a sshd.conf...
[07:37] <Hansel> adroand - killall -HUP sshd        (assuming ssh is installed and just not configured to let you connect)
[07:37] <goblyn> lostsync: ... ok... how do i do that?
[07:38] <h8red> ardchoille: so how do i go back to the main window after opening a channel?
[07:38] <woodwizzle> I have a new mp3 player/camera/phone. Gnome detects it as a camera but I want gnome to also detect it as an mp3 player so I can easily access it in rhythmbox, is that possible?
[07:38] <ardchoille> h8red: alt+1 for window one, alt+2 for window 2, etc
[07:38] <alienseer23> how do I add keyboard shortcuts, not just alter existing configs? new apps in the shortcut, or new unidentified keys??
[07:39] <Hansel> woodwizzle - you will need to mount it as a drive prolly... different driver entirely.
[07:39] <h8red> ardchoille: how do i close a window?
[07:39] <gil> anyone?
[07:39] <woodwizzle> Hansel, You mean put it in my fstab instead of letting g-v-m handle it
[07:39] <Hansel> woodwizzle - I would imagine it wont let you use it as a cam and mp3 player at the same time... you'll have to switch back and forth between functionalities
[07:39] <Hansel> woodwizzle - or modprobe whatever-driver-it-should-be-using
[07:40] <lufis> Is there any way to boot into command line via the livecd?
[07:40] <Hansel> gil - network cutting out could be a number of problems... usually not software unless you manually setup ifconfig  :x
[07:40] <ardchoille> h8red: It would be a great idea if you could /join #irssi as I think this may be getting into ot now.. I don't want to make anyone mad here :)
[07:40] <lostsync> goblyn, first type "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup" then "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[07:40] <gil> ok
[07:41] <gil> it only cuts out for a second then comes back up
[07:41] <Rehevkor> Can I change file managers in Xubuntu?
[07:41] <h8red> ardchoille: your probably right, but thanks though
[07:41] <goblyn> lostsync: alright, done
[07:41] <lostsync> goblyn, in the file that opens, scroll down until you see: Section "Screen"
[07:41] <ardchoille> h8red: I'm in that channel and will help as much as I can
[07:41] <lufis> Can I boot into command line in the livecd?
[07:41] <Hansel> goblyn - I recommend you google for your monitor and linux xorg.conf...
[07:41] <gil> i was was wondering if ti had anything to do wtih me setting a static IP to the computer fromt he routers config
[07:41] <Hansel> I did that for my ViewSonic e70fb and got the perfect settings.
[07:42] <lostsync> goblyn,  you'll see a line in that Section that says: DefaultDepth, and then a number, probably 24 or 32
[07:42] <Cryptid> i think i have some error on my hard disk so how do i fix the errors how do i run the scan disk comand ?
[07:42] <alienseer23> how about, what if my keyboard model is not listed, how do I find one that is either identical or very very close??
[07:42] <jbrimble> How can I uninstall X and Gnome and clear all the config files?
[07:42] <goblyn> lostsync: alright, it's at 24
[07:42] <lostsync> goblyn, take note of the number and then under: SubSection "Display" find the Depth that matches DefaultDepth, then add the resolution you want under that on the Modes line
[07:43] <lufis> jbrimble: Why the hell would you want to do that? :P
[07:43] <threat2> hey
[07:43] <Hansel> Cryptid - fsck  file system check...
[07:43] <smacky> hey
[07:43] <jbrimble> Because everything is corrupt and my config files are fucked (so to speak).
[07:43] <Hansel> Cryptid - dont run fsck on a mounted drive though  ;)
[07:43] <lostsync> so if it says: Modes "1024x768" "800x600" and you want 1280x1024, make it say Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600"
[07:43] <jbrimble> So if i apt-get remove them, will it also remove the config files?
[07:44] <Hansel> Cryptid - get an install disk and jump to its console and run fsck.  Some of the distros (not sure if Ubuntu is one of them) allow you to fsck before mounting it.
[07:44] <threat2> with brctrl I want users in a specific group to beable to use it as root, I added in the following into my /etc/sudoers file --> %admin ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/ifconfig
[07:44] <threat2> %admin ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/brctl
[07:44] <lostsync> goblyn, after that, save the file and close gedit, then restart xorg by using ctl+alt+backspace
[07:44] <threat2> I still get this error thouigh --> SIOCSIFFLAGS: Permission denied
[07:44] <threat2> can't add tap0 to bridge br0: Operation not permitted
[07:44] <goblyn> lostsync: i don't see a depth that matches defaultdepth
[07:44] <Cryptid> Hansel: then how do i get it scan the disk ? is there a way i can get it scan the disk before the OS starts ???
[07:44] <Hansel> Cryptid - an install cd  ;)
[07:44] <abhinay> anyone here, what is the keyboard shortcut for gnome-main-menu ?
[07:44] <goblyn> lostsync: well, i'm not worried about my resolution, i'm worry about my refresh rate
[07:45] <Hansel> usually it makes you start the installer by typing install or sometimes you can jump to a console and do it.
[07:45] <sethk> Cryptid, a live cd, or a rescue cd, you can use badblocks
[07:45] <lostsync> goblyn, oh, i'm sorry i guess i misunderstood your question
[07:45] <Hansel> I've never used Ubuntu so I'm not sure if its install disk lets you run fsck from a command line on /dev/hda1
[07:45] <micahcowan> Is there a xine frontend (or somesuch) that would let me record soundbytes from a DVD? transcode is such a pain...
[07:45] <goblyn> lostsync: know how to fix that problem?
[07:45] <jbrimble> ugh i knew i was going to get an idiotic response
[07:45] <Cryptid> Hansel: i got Dapper disc wih me will that help ? or show i start ubuntu in recovery mode ?
[07:46] <Cryptid> sethk:  i got Dapper disc wih me will that help ? or show i start ubuntu in recovery mode ?
[07:46] <Hansel> jbrimble - well... rpm's have a -freshen option (puts the rpm back to default install settings)... maybe apt-get has the same thing?
[07:46] <lostsync> goblyn, the refresh rate you want isn't in the screen resolution dialog accessed via System->Preferences->Screen Resolution?
[07:46] <sethk> Cryptid, you can use the disk, yes
[07:46] <sethk> Cryptid, hit f1, you'll find instructions to get into a rescue mode
[07:46] <Cryptid> sethk: oh ok thanx i will try that now
[07:47] <sethk> jbrimble, Hansel, there is dpkg-deconfigure
[07:47] <Cryptid> sethk: will fsck even fix errors on FAT32 file system ?
[07:47] <goblyn> lostsync: no, it will only let me go up to 60, which kills my eyes, and i know it can get up to 75
[07:47] <Hansel> Cryptid - no... fsck is for ext2, ext3, and reiserfs as far as I know.
[07:48] <Hansel> goblyn - what monitor brand and model is it?  I'll google the settings for you...
[07:48] <sethk> Cryptid, there is an fsck.vfat
[07:48] <phenez> Cryptid, don't fsck FAT32 partitions
[07:48] <sethk> Cryptid, but I'd be more comfortable using windows to test/fix windows partitions
[07:48] <Hansel> I agree with sethk...
[07:48] <Cryptid> thanx for the help
[07:48] <Hansel> using ntfs-writeable drivers is even a bad idea IMHO to fix problems w/ Windows from Linux...
[07:48] <sizzam> where can i find the bouncing cows screensaver for dapper?
[07:49] <Hansel> lol sizzam.
[07:49] <lostsync> goblyn, try this http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/ChangeResolution#Adding_custom_modeline
[07:49] <sizzam> Hansel:  that was the first thing i looked for on my first trip into dapper, im crushed :-(
[07:49] <sizzam> lol
[07:49] <phenez> Hansel, heh, yeah because the ntfs writing is hell dodgy
[07:49] <Hansel> sizzam - when I used Linux it was all about that matrix screen saver with the dropping garbled letters...
[07:50] <lufis> What command will completely erase a disk?
[07:50] <Hansel> fdisk or rm -rf /  :P
[07:50] <lufis> hansel, thanks man
[07:50] <Hansel> lufis - if you want to do a re-install the installer will whipe it for ya.
[07:50] <lufis> hansel: any options i should give fdisk? and will it work from a livecd?
[07:50] <micahcowan> lufis, do you mean, "securely" wipe? because neither of those will do it...
[07:51] <Hansel> lufis - any installer will let you format/repartition... they usually do it for you so you dont need to memorize archaic commands.
[07:51] <lufis> hansel: well i would prefer the gui method but the livecd is hanging on me... i'm gonna try knoppix
[07:51] <macd> When using CGWD and I highlight the theme to be used, nothing happens, though xgl/copiz is working just fine.
[07:51] <sasi> hi ... is thr any GUI  utility for connecting with IR devices ??
[07:51] <Hansel> sasi - I've never heard of one... infrared devices still exist?  ::hehe::
[07:52] <sasi> well some samsung phones still support IR ... i suppose thr shld be one !!
[07:52] <jbroome> Hansel: my phone and pda have them.  pretty sure my t42 does too
[07:52] <lufis> Ugh, I'm stuck with windows ME on this craptastic laptop
[07:53] <Hansel> sasi - I'm googling... hold
[07:53] <sasi> well after doin modprobe .. all ircomm* added in /dev .. wht to do to connect ?? any tool ??
[07:53] <Hansel> sasi - http://www.gammu.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gammu:Connecting_to_phone
[07:53] <sasi> thx .. ll try
[07:53] <Hansel> scroll about half way down.
[07:54] <Hansel> your biggest obstacle is step 1... compile the kernel with USB and infrared protocols
[07:54] <Hansel> ever recompile a kernel?  ;)
[07:54] <sasi> ya ..i tried ... took long hrs .. and messed up my boot
[07:54] <Hansel> hah.
[07:54] <Hansel> hopefully yours is good to go so you can just modprobe.
[07:54] <lufis> Has anyone else had troubles with the Ubuntu livecd on really old hardware?
[07:54] <maarvins1> http://83.136.142.42/amp/ - please tell me what is wrong with php installation?
[07:55] <maarvins1> i got all that creapy stuff but no sript
[07:55] <phenez> lufis, how old?
[07:55] <maarvins1> :(
[07:55] <Hansel> maarvins1 - probably dont have php configured in apache's httpd.conf
[07:55] <phenez> lufis, what do you have?
[07:55] <maarvins1> hmm
[07:55] <bioticpro> Hello, I am tryin to use a crt TV as a monitor temporarily, what are the best font settings and xorg settings for this?
[07:55] <Hansel> maarvins1 - or.... maybe you didn't terminate a ?>
[07:55] <maarvins1> what should i do?
[07:55] <maarvins1> what do you mean terminate?
[07:55] <lufis> phenez: Pretty old, relative to what's standard now. It's a 1999 Compaq Presario 1200... 60 mb of memory, 6 gig HD... 700 mhz pentium 3
[07:55] <Hansel> maarvins1 - try <?php phpinfo() ?>   in test.php
[07:56] <Hansel> maarvins1 - see if that works...
[07:56] <maarvins1> wait
[07:56] <phenez> lufis, should have no problems .. if it's a bit slow use xfce4 as window manager
[07:56] <phenez> lufis, besides of course that it is a laptop ;)
[07:56] <thenerdsangle> ok...i feel like this must be really obvious, but how to i get the ubuntu installer to boot into expert mode? the help says to type expert at the boot prompt, but there is no boot prompt...
[07:56] <lufis> phenez: Well, the livecd won't even work for some reason. It boots fine and it looks like it';s going to work, then freezes
[07:56] <phenez> lufis, um, the 60mb of mem?
[07:56] <maarvins1> Hansel: http://83.136.142.42/php.php
[07:56] <phenez> lufis, no chance
[07:57] <lufis> phenez: No kidding :P
[07:57] <Hansel> maarvins1 - that loads perfect  ;)
[07:57] <phenez> lufis, i didn't see that first time around heh
[07:57] <Hansel> You just didn't delimit or end a <? ?> right... or maybe your PHP install --requires-- you to <?php and you used <?
[07:57] <phenez> lufis, i wouldn't be surprised if you didn't have enough ram for the livedisk to use
[07:57] <CoCoApUnK599> hi quick question..is there a way to force synaptic/aptitude to keep an old version of a package?
[07:57] <phenez> lufis, you may have the same problem with knoppix
[07:57] <maarvins1> yes, so where could be z problem?
[07:57] <Hansel> CoCoApUnK599 - yup.
[07:57] <lufis> phenez: Yeah, that's what Knoppix told me actually... it gave me a command line because it couldn't start kde
[07:57] <CoCoApUnK599> i tried lock package but it didnt work
[07:58] <Hansel> CoCoApUnK599 - but I honestly dont recall how.  I just remember I did that once back circa 2002
[07:58] <CoCoApUnK599> oh haha
[07:58] <RancidLM> im trying to compile a kernel module but every time i try i get "Invalid module format" i have tried using gcc-4.0 and gcc-3.5  can some one helpme figure this out
[07:58] <CoCoApUnK599> thanks anyways
[07:58] <lufis> phenez: Sigh. Do you think Xubuntu might work any better?
[07:58] <phenez> lufis, it will, but with the lack of ram you'll be going into swap a lot, i'd say
[07:58] <sasi> hi thr ... whts the key combination for blur effect in Xgl/Compiz
[07:59] <phenez> lufis, with that little ram, i'd use fluxbox
[07:59] <jbroome> alt-f4
[07:59] <lufis> phenez: I would really like to use it as a dvd player, really, and it can do that fine as it is... but it's running Windows ME... ick'
[07:59] <Hansel> maarvins1 - if you post your script on pastebin.com I can look it over... you should probably be asking this in PHP though since we have troubleshot that apache is configured and PHP is working fine and its a coding error.
[07:59] <fyrestrtr> RancidLM: what module?
[07:59] <maarvins1> hmmm
[07:59] <thenerdsangle> what do i do to boot the installer in expert mode? it used to be easy, but there's no prompt anymore
[07:59] <maarvins1> okey, i will try another code
[07:59] <maarvins1> maybe you're right
[07:59] <phenez> lufis, yeah, i use a p2 450 as a dvd player here, with fluxbox, 128 meg ram
[07:59] <phenez> lufis, plays perfectly
[08:00] <fyrestrtr> thenerdsangle: use the alternate cd
[08:00] <nilesh892003> hello friends ,i had dual boot with windows xp and ubuntu then i had writted new MBR for windows XP then GRUB is deleted now i have ubuntu in my hard disk how to reenable GRUB again ,plz help me i am newbi
[08:00] <phenez> lufis, ah, but that is with a different brand of *nix ... same principle though ;)
[08:00] <pacsguy> that's it - ubuntu = clearly best distro ever
[08:00] <pacsguy> hooked
[08:00] <Hansel> pacsguy - have you tried ALL the other distros?  ;)
[08:00] <pacsguy> quite a few
[08:00] <Hansel> heh.
[08:00] <fyrestrtr> !grub > nilesh892003
[08:00] <fyrestrtr> !grub
[08:00] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[08:00] <nilesh892003> ya
[08:01] <lufis> phenez: Well, how would I boot into fluxbox from the livecd? If it can't even boot from the livecd then i'm screwed. Is there any way to boot directly into command line?
[08:01] <maarvins1> Hansel: im sending you the scipt
[08:01] <badiNFO> can someone tell me what the latest version of ubuntu is?
[08:01] <badiNFO> not the beta
[08:01] <maarvins1> 6.06
[08:01] <badiNFO> how would i check to see if that's the version i'm running?
[08:01] <phenez> lufis, yes, but i don't know it :) ... i think you type 'server' as a boot option when the livecd starts up
[08:01] <phenez> before it boots
[08:01] <Flannel> badiNFO: 6.06, which you can download an updated 6.06.1, which has updates from 6.06 builtin
[08:02] <RancidLM> fyrestrtr: Parrales's and qemu accelerator
[08:02] <phenez> lufis, ask in here, someone will know
[08:02] <Flannel> badiNFO: lsb_base -a
[08:02] <lufis> phenez: Ah, thank god. I'll give that a try
[08:02] <Flannel> badiNFO: er, lsb_release -a
[08:02] <Hansel> if you have to come on IRC to ask what the latest version of Ubuntu is when ubuntu.com has the answer I'm very worried for you.
[08:03] <CoCoApUnK599> haha
[08:03] <CoCoApUnK599> 6.0.6.1 :P
[08:03] <phenez> Hansel, i'm a little worried about the questions here, period :)
[08:03] <Flannel> CoCoApUnK599: no. 6.06.1
[08:03] <dystopianray> what happens when all the device node letters are used up? say I have /dev/sda through to /dev/sdz and I wnat to add another?
[08:03] <badiNFO> so if i look at the base system in synaptec package manager
[08:03] <seatouch> how to change the ip of the machine?
[08:03] <Hansel> dystopianray - cd /dev and ls around  ;)
[08:03] <badiNFO> i should use the 6.06.1 one right?
[08:03] <nalpha> guys how to talk with voice over ip but without connecting to internet first directly in local network??? any software??
[08:04] <Hansel> seatouch - depends on your router... you have dynamic or static ips?
[08:04] <Hansel> if static then ifconfig
[08:04] <Flannel> badiNFO: what?  That won't be in synaptic.  Do you have 6.06?
[08:04] <Hansel> if dhcp then hope your lease time runs out and reconnect  ;)
[08:04] <seatouch> Hansel its a vps .. i have to change its main ip
[08:04] <ripper> sup macd
[08:04] <dystopianray> Hansel: do you know if differently named nodes will be created?
[08:04] <mainer> its the most current,but if 6.06 is installed apt-get upgrade has it
[08:04] <Mase> hey guys, whats a gnome dvd / cd burning program ?
[08:04] <lufis> Jesus christ, this laptop is sounding like a cash register
[08:04] <Flannel> lufis: so, make a withdrawl!
[08:04] <Hansel> dystopianray - yes.  There is a limit of the number but most of us cant even afford that many devices to connect so its not a worry.
[08:04] <seatouch> Hansel i have to change from its interface config right?
[08:04] <Hansel> dystopianray - were you planning on making a massive RAID array?
[08:04] <lostsync> Mase, gnomebaker
[08:04] <CoCoApUnK599> does lock packages prevent upgrade?
[08:05] <lufis> Flannel: :P I hope it doesn't blow up
[08:05] <mainer> Mase: gnomebaker,graveman are the two best,imoo
[08:05] <badiNFO> i'm not sure where to see what version i'm currently running
[08:05] <badiNFO> sorry very very new
[08:05] <Mase> mainer, lostsync cheers
[08:05] <Flannel> badiNFO: in a terminal, (programs > accessories > terminal) type "lsb_release -a"
[08:05] <dystopianray> Hansel: not really, I was just curious as to whate the behaviour would be
[08:05] <PyroManiak> What is the command to remove a file from the command line again?
[08:06] <Flannel> dystopianray: I'm sure theres specs somewhere
[08:06] <Hansel> rm blah
[08:06] <Flannel> PyroManiak: rm
[08:06] <badiNFO> i'm currently running 5.10
[08:06] <badiNFO> ty
[08:06] <badiNFO> how would i upgrade to the latest or is there an IRC room that helps with that/
[08:06] <badiNFO> ?
[08:06] <Hansel> yipee... its raining.  My plants are all getting watered finally!  hah
[08:06] <badiNFO> i want the long term release
[08:06] <Flannel> !tell badiNFO about upgrade
[08:06] <Hansel> badiNFO - if you read the topic of this channel there is a FAQ with the answer
[08:06] <badiNFO> but upgrade not full install
[08:07] <Flannel> badiNFO: ubotu has a link.  It's real easy.
[08:07] <lufis> Is there a way to boot directly into command line once the kernel has been loaded from a ubuntu livecd? Like an option i can pass to the kernel?
[08:07] <badiNFO> ok ty
[08:07] <macd> has anyone had an issue with cgwd? as in theme selection makes no difference wahtsoever
[08:07] <reed> If a friend is having issues with the LiveCD having too small of a resolution, how can he modify it so he can see the entire screen in order to install?
[08:07] <lufis> Ubotu tried to cyber-sex me
[08:07] <badiNFO> real easy is good lol
[08:07] <Mase> mainer, lostsync is gnomebaker in main ? or do i need to add repos ?
[08:07] <PyroManiak> cool.. now. what is the command to make .sh files executable?
[08:08] <macd> PyroManiak chmod +x
[08:08] <lufis> reed: there should be a VGA/resolution selector on the menu... F6 i think
[08:08] <Hansel> PyroManiak - Linux doesnt respect file extentions... you chmod files or put them in /bin or /usr/bin
[08:08] <hans_> hy, wen I configure a game I get this
[08:08] <hans_> Checking for SDL/SDL_thread.h... no
[08:09] <hans_> does anybody know where I can find this
[08:09] <Hansel> PyroManiak - you cant make a global entry (that I know of) that will make ALL .bin files executable for example.
[08:09] <lostsync> i think it's in main
[08:09] <PyroManiak> Hansel: I've done both... it still just opens the text file
[08:09] <badiNFO> ok sorry to bothere you but could you tell me where to find that link for upgrading ?
[08:09] <mainer> Mase: it should be default i believe,nautilus filke-manager also can burn
[08:09] <badiNFO> bother*
[08:09] <Flannel> hans_: you'll need SDL development headers.  theyre in the repositories
[08:09] <rixth> au.archive.ubuntu.com is down.
[08:09] <Hansel> https://help.ubuntu.com/
[08:09] <Mase> mainer: apt-cache search gnomebaker doesn't seem to return anything
[08:10] <PyroManiak> Hansel: I wrote a small shell script so I can run a command.sh file... but when I click it, it just opens the text editor
[08:10] <Hansel> PyroManiak - ./command.sh
[08:10] <Hansel> ./ will execute anything you want
[08:10] <mainer> Mase: hmm,let me check
[08:10] <Hansel> or you can chmod +x it and command.sh without the ugly ./  ;)
[08:11] <Hansel> rwx-rwx-rwx  <--- right click on the file and change the properties to that  ;)  Or chmod 777 it or something
[08:11] <PyroManiak> hansel still not working
[08:12] <jake> yup yup yup
[08:12] <ripper> how do you fix broken packages with apt-get?
[08:12] <reed> lufis: F4, thanks
[08:13] <lufis> reed: ;) np
[08:13] <badiNFO> so i have to download the whole iso just to upgrade?
[08:13] <Hansel> ripper - apt-get upgrade them?
[08:13] <Hansel> badiNFO - you can probably apt-get upgrade all or something.
[08:13] <ripper> tried that
[08:13] <Hansel> it will grab all the .debs on a 1 off basis.
[08:13] <lostsync> ripper, i think you use the -f switch
[08:13] <gekko`> ripper: apt-get install -f <package>
[08:13] <Hansel> ripper - man dselect... the step father of apt-get
[08:14] <Hansel> or dpackage rather
[08:14] <lostsync> badiNFO, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DapperUpgrades
[08:14] <ripper> -f didnt work
[08:14] <hans_> hi, If I want to install 'libsdl1.2-dev' with synaptic, I get
[08:15] <hans_> libsdl1.2-dev:
[08:15] <hans_>  Depends: libglu1-mesa-dev but it is not going to be installed or
[08:15] <hans_> 	libglu-dev
[08:15] <hans_> Is my system broke?
[08:15] <hans_> Is there something to do about it?
[08:16] <Hansel> hans_ you have to upgrade in order... figuring out the order is the fun part.
[08:16] <wweasel> Hey everyone. I use Ubuntu, Swiftfox to browse and KMess for MSN. For some reason, though Swiftfox is set to my default browser, KMess still opens windows in Firefox. Any help?
[08:16] <Hansel> unfortunately sometimes you need to upgrade something that will break dependencies of other applications and you end up having to upgrade your whole shell and compiler and etc.
[08:16] <Hansel> it can turn into a nightmare...
[08:17] <gekko`> ripper: try re-installing the package with apt-get install --reinstall
[08:17] <nekostar> ok
[08:17] <ripper> tried that too
[08:17] <nekostar> how can i transfer an install from one hdd to another hdd ?
[08:17] <lostsync> ripper, tried dpkg-reconfigure?
[08:17] <Hansel> nekostar - not a good idea... just re-install on the new HDD.
[08:18] <nekostar> ~_~
[08:18] <nekostar> i dont wanna
[08:18] <Hansel> and copy over any config files and whatnot later.
[08:18] <badiNFO> ok sweet got it
[08:18] <badiNFO> nice
[08:18] <badiNFO> that was mad easy
[08:18] <badiNFO> ty bye
[08:18] <nekostar> sigh
[08:18] <PyroManiak> Hansel: Ok, maybe I'm doing this wrong... could you help me here?

[08:18] <nekostar> mm
[08:18] <nekostar> i can move that at least
[08:19] <Hansel> PyroManiak - still cant run the .sh?
[08:19] <nekostar> is there a way to get a list of installed packages ?
[08:19] <Hansel> I'd run the .sh script from a shell by the way since it is infact a shell script  ;)
[08:19] <nekostar> without using like synaptic ?
[08:19] <Hansel> nekostar - yup... dselect I think.
[08:19] <goblyn> how do i restart x?
[08:19] <nekostar> so i can on new install do a one line install of the missing ones
[08:19] <Hansel> goblyn - you can kill the X process :x
[08:19] <fyrestrtr> nekostar: dpkg -L
[08:20] <PyroManiak> Hansel: Yeah, when I dbl click the .sh it always opens the text editor... I'm not even sure I made the script correctly.. its just to run a server -variable (which does work if I type it by hand)
[08:20] <nekostar> dpkg-query: --listfiles needs at least one package name argument
[08:20] <wweasel> Hey everyone. I use Ubuntu, Swiftfox to browse and KMess for MSN. For some reason, though Swiftfox is set to my default browser, KMess still opens windows in Firefox. Any ideas?
[08:20] <fyrestrtr> nekostar: dpkg -l
[08:20] <Hansel> wweasel - somewhere in gnome or kde or whatever you use I'm sure you can set the default browser.
[08:20] <lostsync> nekostar, http://www.pcquest.com/content/linux/2005/105041202.asp <- Ghost for Linux
[08:20] <wweasel> Hansel: I use Gnome, and Swiftfox is set to my default browser.
[08:21] <goblyn> hansel: ok, what do i type in?
[08:21] <fyrestrtr> wweasel: you need to fiddle with the preference in kmess
[08:21] <Hansel> wweasel - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Default_browser#Gnome
[08:22] <gekko`> goblyn: /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[08:22] <Hansel> goblyn - ps -aux        then kill -15 its PID (or kill -9 if it is hardcore)
[08:22] <Hansel> or gekko's route is much nicer to the system  ;)
[08:22] <gekko`> hehe
[08:22] <phenez> ns
[08:23] <nekostar> mm interesting lostsync
[08:23] <nekostar> could i attach second hdd
[08:23] <nekostar> boot via live cd
[08:23] <nekostar> make the partitions on the second hdd i need
[08:23] <nekostar> and then mv folders over ?
[08:23] <nekostar> and then turn off
[08:23] <ardchoille> !restartx
[08:23] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type this in a console: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  -  To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[08:23] <nekostar> take out first hdd
[08:23] <nekostar> and boot to second and do the grub fix ?
[08:24] <gekko`> nekostar: don't mv them, just cp them over to your new hdd
[08:24] <nekostar> i can cp then ?
[08:24] <nekostar> and just do grub fix ?
[08:24] <nekostar> so i wouldnt have to reinstall <3 ??
[08:24] <nekostar> ive got a 40 gig and a 200 gig installed now
[08:24] <nekostar> installing new 200 gig :D
[08:25] <nekostar> though admittedly

[08:25] <Silver_> go with the exa
[08:25] <ardchoille> !grub > nilesh892003
[08:25] <nekostar> its tempting to make my ubuntu install all one partition [plus swap]  and just do an rsync of /home or something
[08:25] <gekko`> nekostar: well, I'd rather use dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/dev/hdb1 etc, for each partition
[08:25] <nilesh892003> ya
[08:25] <gekko`> nekostar: but before read man dd
[08:25] <nekostar> gekko`, dd ?
[08:25] <Hansel> nekostar - scp
[08:26] <phenez> don't let them lose with dd!
[08:26] <phenez> s/lose/loose
[08:26] <nekostar> scp ?
[08:26] <Hansel> s/lose/loose/g

[08:29] <lostsync> phenez, guess i missed that memo
[08:29] <Hansel> linuxfan - startup of what?
[08:29] <Hansel> the system?  x?
[08:29] <PyroManiak> Hansel: no command with that name.. but if I LS, it is there (black text)
[08:29] <ardchoille> !noob
[08:29] <ubotu> Words like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period.
[08:29] <Silver_> what kind of command? You mean a command prompt instead of the book screen or something else?
[08:29] <linuxfan> I need to run trackpad tap as admin
[08:29] <Hansel> PyroManiak - ./thefile.sh
[08:30] <PyroManiak> Hansel: yeah, it says no file found
[08:30] <Hansel> PyroManiak - what is the name of your script?
[08:30] <Silver_> You mean everytime the computer starts?
[08:30] <Silver_> (to Linuxfan that is)
[08:30] <linuxfan> yes silver
[08:30] <Silver_> Ok
[08:30] <PyroManiak> Hansel: synergy.ch  I'm typing ./synergy.ch
[08:30] <nilesh892003> hello friends what is the command to see partitions of hard disk in ubuntu

[08:30] <Silver_> Umm, System>Preferences>Session Manager
[08:30] <phenez> mount
[08:30] <phenez> df -h
[08:30] <lostsync> nilesh892003, df
[08:30] <Hansel> PyroManiak - cat your script and tell me what the first line says.
[08:30] <phenez> fdisk -l
[08:31] <Silver_> erm... sessions
[08:31] <PyroManiak> Hansel: if I type ls, it is listed there in black text... does the file have a hidden extension?
[08:31] <ompaul> nekostar, in this channel, we give working urls - or we don't participate
[08:31] <ardchoille> PyroManiak: file synergy.ch
[08:31] <Silver_> startup programs
[08:31] <Silver_> that should do it
[08:31] <linuxfan> Silver I tried that
[08:31] <phenez> nilesh892003, try them all, you probably want the last one
[08:31] <linuxfan> I added trackpad tap
[08:31] <Silver_> hmm
[08:31] <Silver_> What happened?
[08:31] <Hansel> PyroManiak - put this on the first line of the script... #!/bin/bash
[08:31] <linuxfan> nothing
[08:32] <linuxfan> It has to be run as admin
[08:32] <PyroManiak> Hansel: cat: synergy.ch: No such file or directory
[08:32] <nekostar> ompaul,
[08:32] <nekostar> that was a working url
[08:32] <ardchoille> Hansel: is a .ch file the same as a bash script?
[08:32] <nekostar> try actually clicking it b/f calling it bs
[08:32] <nekostar> lawl
[08:32] <Hansel> ardchoille - no... I think he just named it wrong  ;)
[08:32] <ompaul> nekostar, not in the spirit of giving the person BURN STATION is a mobile copying station which - as it travels through suburban spaces - supports the free distribution music and audio. It is software as well as a local network. But above all BURN STATION is a social event which congregates people together to listen, select and copy net label and net radio audio files with a Copyleft Licence. BURN STATION is an open source and a non-commercial proje
[08:32] <ompaul> ct involving the new means of free networked distribution. It is based on the BURN STATION software which was developed by Platoniq and Rama as a 100% Free software. BURN STATION aims to establish links between the media space and the physical space of the city.
[08:32] <ompaul> hmm
[08:32] <PyroManiak> Hansel: this is what is inside the file #!/bin/sh
[08:32] <PyroManiak> ~/usr/bin/synergyc 192.168.1.1
[08:33] <ardchoille> Hansel: Ahh, okie
[08:33] <linuxfan> Ive thought about make a small script but its a little confusing
[08:33] <___Venom___> hi
[08:33] <linuxfan> making
[08:33] <___Venom___> any one here know anything about ipods??
[08:33] <Hansel> PyroManiak - well I think the ~ is messing up the script
[08:34] <Silver_> hmm
[08:34] <phenez> ompaul, lol you are the only op who ruins the ubuntu 'mode of being'
[08:34] <Hansel> PyroManiak - the script just passes it commands as if you were typing them on the command line... ~/usr/bin isn't nice.
[08:34] <phenez> ompaul, you are anti-ubuntu, in action and word
[08:34] <Silver_> You could make a script that does a sudo /usr/lib/trackpad or whatever you run
[08:34] <linuxfan> Yea. I most likely will
[08:35] <phenez> ompaul, i'll leave before you exercise your 'power' and kick me
[08:35] <linuxfan> I just thought there may be an easier way
[08:35] <Silver_> However I don't know what I'd use to do that (don't script my command line)
[08:35] <tjtoml> sethk, remember me?
[08:35] <Hansel> scripting with sudo isn't good... it will get an exit waiting for you to enter the sudo password (unless you setup sudoers with a NOPASS option) and halt.
[08:35] <linuxfan> lol I wont
[08:35] <PyroManiak> Hansel: Yeah, I just saw that... I've fixed it.. but still get file not found when I try to cat synergy.ch
[08:35] <Hansel> PyroManiak - type pwd
[08:35] <Silver_> Yeah, you would have to type the password on startup
[08:35] <linuxfan> thanks for the help silver
[08:35] <PyroManiak> Hansel: is it by chance like... synergy.ch.txt or something? and I just dont see that?
[08:35] <Silver_> I don't know if it will work
[08:36] <Silver_> It's a guess
[08:36] <linuxfan> yea
[08:36] <linuxfan> I will try
[08:36] <Silver_> never tried such
[08:36] <Hansel> PyroManiak - possible... if you are in a commandline and you ls then the file name is whatever you see.
[08:36] <linuxfan> It will be my first linux script
[08:36] <Flannel> PyroManiak: no, real operating systems don't hide file extensions
[08:36] <Hansel> if you are in X it could hide the file extention of .txt files.
[08:36] <linuxfan> I just finally got my airport extreme working
[08:36] <Silver_> You could try putting the sudo at the front of the session startup command
[08:36] <PyroManiak> Hansel: its listed in ls as synergy.sh
[08:36] <Silver_> But again, no idea if it would work
[08:37] <Hansel> You people seem to abuse sudo in here... no offense but if you are going to be doing a bunch of commands in succession just become root for a bit!
[08:37] <ardchoille> PyroManiak: ah hah, i'ts a bash script
[08:37] <PyroManiak> Hansel: ok... pwd said /usr/bin
[08:37] <Silver_> Yeah
[08:37] <Silver_> it's a onetime thing
[08:37] <theshibboleth> Is there a way to set up my hard drive as a target firewire drive that can be accessed by another computer?
[08:37] <linuxfan> I will try that to
[08:37] <Silver_> except one time everytime
[08:37] <Silver_> Ah I love computers
[08:37] <PyroManiak> ardchoille: what does that mean? lol
[08:37] <M06w> im suposed to be able to read files on ntfs formated disk s with out much problem right
[08:37] <ardchoille> Hansel: very good call, that :)
[08:37] <Silver_> Personally I almost never enter my console without going sudo su
[08:37] <PyroManiak> ardchoille: I just copied what I saw another script using.. lol
[08:38] <Hansel> theshibboleth - setup your harddrive as a firewire drive?
[08:38] <ardchoille> PyroManiak: it means Hansel was right all along, lol
[08:38] <Hansel> theshibboleth - you mean a shared network drive?
[08:38] <Silver_> Ubuntu is kinda mean about becoming a super user
[08:38] <theshibboleth> Hansel, I think so.
[08:38] <PyroManiak> ardchoille: right about what?
[08:38] <Hansel> theshibboleth - yeah... you can share it a couple of ways... samba is probably best if you are in heterogeneous environment w Windows computers.
[08:38] <ardchoille> PyroManiak: He was thinking it was a .sh script, not a .ch as you stated
[08:39] <PyroManiak> Hansel: I'm sorry, my mistake... it is synergy.sh
[08:39] <tjtoml> I have a d-link DWA-542 (with an Atheros Chipset), And i need linux drivers for. I googled this, and found a mad Wifi download that atheros gave me that said it had linux drivers that *i think* support my card. I need Help Installing the,.
[08:40] <tjtoml> se
[08:40] <theshibboleth> Hansel, well what I'd like to do is use a firewire cable to connect my Ubuntu box to a Mac and mount my Ubuntu box's hard drive on the Mac.
[08:40] <PyroManiak> Hansel: firestarter@firestarter-laptop:/usr/bin$ cat synergy.sh
[08:40] <PyroManiak> #!/bin/sh
[08:40] <PyroManiak> synergyc 192.168.1.1
[08:40] <ardchoille> PyroManiak: What happens when you run that script now?
[08:40] <Hansel> ./synergy.sh        (I like how you wrote a script to run 1 command  hehehe)
[08:40] <ardchoille> Hansel: haha
[08:41] <PyroManiak> ardchoille: firestarter@firestarter-laptop:/usr/bin$ ./synergy.sh
[08:41] <PyroManiak> bash: ./synergy.sh: Permission denied
[08:41] <PyroManiak> firestarter@firestarter-laptop:/usr/bin$ sudo ./synergy.sh
[08:41] <PyroManiak> sudo: ./synergy.sh: command not found
[08:41] <PyroManiak> firestarter@firestarter-laptop:/usr/bin$
[08:41] <linuxfan> thanks silver. Maybe I will see ya around later
[08:42] <Hansel> theshibboleth - you should look into AFS if you want to go hardcore.  Uhmm... you can scp the files over to the Mac...
[08:42] <Silverwizard> Maybe, I don't hang out here much, but do when I have time
[08:42] <linuxfan> bye
[08:42] <Silverwizard> Glad I could help
[08:42] <Silverwizard> NOOOO! Ah well
[08:43] <Hansel> theshibboleth - so you mounted the firewire device in Linux... the linux and Mac are networked... you can share the mounted drive /mnt/whatever a number of ways... or setup FTP... or...
[08:43] <ardchoille> PyroManiak: sudo sh synergy.sh
[08:43] <hyperstream> does anyone know how i make my 2 ircd servers relink automaticly if one splits ?
[08:43] <Hansel> hyperstream - a bit out of scope for this channel...
[08:43] <hyperstream> yeah i know
[08:43] <hyperstream> where would a good channel be ?
[08:43] <Hansel> hyperstream - its in the ircd config... are you using bahamut or what?  :P
[08:44] <hyperstream> unreal 3.2.5
[08:44] <hyperstream> i had a look thru the docs
[08:44] <hyperstream> ill google a bit more perhaps
[08:44] <PyroManiak> ardchoille: now what?
[08:44] <Hansel> hyperstream - not familiar with that one.  I'd try #ircd or #unreal.  If those dont exist or people cant help read the help file that came with it.  If you still dont get it try to google or come back to me  :)
[08:44] <ardchoille> PyroManiak: that should have ran the script
[08:44] <Silverwizard> Well I'm off, cya
[08:45] <hyperstream> thanken you sir :)
[08:46] <theshibboleth> Hansel, I've actually been able to mount my Mac's hard drive in Linux, but what I'd actaully is the opposite of that. I'd like to mount my Linux box's hard drive on the Mac. I have a firewire cable running between the two machines.
[08:46] <Flannel> theshibboleth: Macs should be able to mount ext3, but... as to how you would do that, you'd have to ask mac people, there's probably a #osx here or something
[08:47] <Olathe> theshibboleth : It would probably be better to network them and share the drive somehow.
[08:47] <Flannel> theshibboleth: #macosx and ##macosx
[08:48] <Hansel> theshibboleth - it is going to be a mount command but instead of /dev/hda1 it will be /dev/sd1s3a or something assinine.
[08:48] <Hansel> asinine too hehe
[08:48] <PyroManiak> ardchoille: doesn't seem to have done anything...
[08:48] <Vratha> hello
[08:48] <Hansel> hi Vratha
[08:48] <Vratha> what is the ubuntu package that installs a full development environment?
[08:49] <Hansel> Vratha - to develop what?
[08:49] <nilesh892003> how to install extra fonts in ubuntu dappar drake
[08:49] <nilesh892003> ?
[08:49] <Hansel> Vratha - define development environment... C development?  Web development?
[08:49] <theshibboleth> Flannel, all right I'll try at the Mac channel. To mount the Mac though I had to restart it in "target disk mode" so I was basically wondering if there was something similar I could do in Linux, but maybe this is more of a firmware issue than anything else.
[08:49] <Vratha> oh, heh, right... to develop C code
[08:49] <PyroManiak> ardchoille: nevermind... I changed a parameter.. its working great.. thanks
[08:49] <Vratha> installing "gcc" doesn't install /usr/include/stdio.h or /usr/include/sys/io.h for example
[08:49] <Hansel> Vratha - well... you need to choose your poison.  Do you want C#, gtk, plain ol' ANSI C?
[08:50] <justin420> hi all, anybody help getting swat to work? i tried going to http://127.0.0.1:901 and nothing showed up, swat is in the /etc/services file, uncommented; as along with /etc/initd.conf.
[08:50] <Vratha> Hansel: i already said C
[08:50] <Hansel> Vratha - if you want to develop for Gnome or KDE that makes a difference too assuming you are writing X apps...
[08:50] <PyroManiak> ardchoille: can I write sudo sh synergy.sh into my startup things and run it?
[08:50] <nilesh892003> hello friends how to install extra fonts in ubuntu and could i install .ttf fonts in ubuntu
[08:50] <Vratha> Hansel: ok... i want whatever allows me to write C code... no GUI crap
[08:50] <h3h_timo> could someone please help me figure out what is going on with my sound???
[08:50] <Hansel> Vratha - I would recommend you go with Eclipse to write code
[08:51] <Hansel> Oh... nevermind of Eclipse then.  hehe.
[08:51] <Vratha> Hansel: I KNOW HOW TO WRITE CODE... i freakin' use vim
[08:51] <Hansel> mmmm vim... and all this time I thought you were an emacs man.
[08:51] <Vratha> i just don't know what meta-package installs gcc and all the other things i need to even be able to write "hello world"
[08:51] <Hansel> Vratha - well... I'm not sure.  I do GUI development  :(
[08:51] <fyrestrtr> !b-e > Hansel
[08:51] <fyrestrtr> !b-e > Vartha
[08:51] <fyrestrtr> !b-e > Vratha
[08:52] <macd> Vratha build-essential , cpp , gcc
[08:52] <h3h_timo> could someone explain to me why after i install the alsa base drivers, and i restart, my sound works fine... but, after the next reboot, it just stops working???
[08:52] <Vratha> macd: build-essential.. that's it!  thanks :)  i kept searching for "dev" when doing apt-cache searches
[08:52] <nilesh892003> hello anybody help me with the fonts
[08:52] <Hansel> h3h_timo - probably have to modprobe it each time  :(
[08:53] <Hansel> h3h_timo - you can edit your startup script to automatically run modprobe for the driver if that is the case...
[08:53] <PyroManiak> Hansel: maybe you can answer this... can I add sudo sh synergy.sh to my startup in "session"?
[08:53] <Hansel> PyroManiak - you mean in .bash_login or something?
[08:53] <h3h_timo> Hansel, how do i know which module to run?
[08:53] <Hansel> .bashrc prolly....
[08:53] <Hansel> h3h_timo - google :x
[08:54] <PyroManiak> Hansel: its a gnome thing... system, preferences, sessions
[08:54] <NineTeen67Comet> http://pastebin.ca/127468 I've been trying to get my xorg.conf right to run three monitors. Here is my xorg.conf .. Help? I've got two of them running great, that third one though .. it's not happy .
[08:54] <h3h_timo> Hansel, ive been searching since forever, lately ive been forced to install, remove, install, ... im sick of googling lol
[08:55] <Hansel> h3h_timo - what kind of soundcard is it?
[08:55] <h3h_timo> hda-intel
[08:55] <Hansel> /etc/init.d/alsa restart     <--- try that real fast  ehhe.
[08:56] <PyroManiak> Hansel: know what I'm talking about?
[08:56] <h3h_timo> Hansel, it says NO such file or directory
[08:56] <Hansel> /usr/lib/alsa/modprobe-post-install snd-intel8x0  <--- then try that
[08:56] <Hansel> PyroManiak - give it a shot.
[08:57] <detectiveinspekt> Hi, I can't get anymore free ubuntu disks. Why? Its the only second time I have asked
[08:57] <h3h_timo> Hansel, for both things you told me to do, i get the response that there is no file or directory
[08:57] <PyroManiak> Hansel: is there another way I can make it executable or something?
[08:57] <Hansel> h3h_timo - locate alsa  :)
[08:58] <h3h_timo> Hansel, yessir,, just a sec
[08:58] <Hansel> detectiveinspekt - you have DSL... DL the ISO and burn it  :)
[08:58] <Hansel> somebody has to absorb the cost of shipping you cds... they cant give everybody an infinite number of cds
[08:59] <detectiveinspekt> i do not have dsl
[08:59] <detectiveinspekt> but fair enough i am using it atm
[08:59] <h3h_timo> Hansel, i found an alsa in /etc/default and in /etc/apm/scripts.d
[09:01] <h3h_timo> Hansel,  its in /etc/apm/scripts.d
[09:01] <Hansel> :)
[09:03] <h3h_timo> Hansel, i tried to reload it, didnt work.. then i forced reload
[09:03] <h3h_timo> actually i forced unload
[09:03] <h3h_timo> and now it wont load back up
[09:06] <macd> has anyone had an issue with cgwd? as in theme selection makes no difference wahtsoever
[09:06] <Maximinus> macd: yeah, I had that the other day
[09:06] <Maximinus> Make sure you're running the latest cgwd and cgwd-themes
[09:09] <Maximinus> hmm, when I say use the latest, I'm not running the latest myself... just spotted new versions of both
[09:09] <Maximinus> just going to try them now
[09:14] <Maximinus> macd, I just upgraded to the latest cgwd and cgwd-themes and it's running fine
[09:14] <macd> Maximinus: do you use a userspace compiz setup?
[09:14] <Maximinus> I can change themes no problem
[09:14] <macd> as in just changing ~/.Xsession rather than /etc/gdm/gdn-config-custom
[09:15] <macd> Maximinus what repos are you using for cgwd?
[09:16] <Maximinus> http://ubuntu.compiz.net/
[09:16] <Maximinus> deb http://ubuntu.compiz.net/ dapper main aiglx
[09:17] <macd> aiglx ? ati rite?
[09:17] <Maximinus> no, intel 855g
[09:17] <Maximinus> which is a pain in the backside
[09:17] <Maximinus> it uses dynamic shared memory allocation, I'd like to set a fixed allocation
[09:18] <macd> I might have to try adding the aiglx in there
[09:18] <Maximinus> eh, dinner's ready - back in ~15 mins
[09:18] <macd> thx man!
[09:19] <arm73c05> anyone else getting a lot of apt messages like this?  WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!  on regular content from archive.ubuntu.com & us.archive.ubuntu.com?
[09:21] <macd> arm73c05 you shouldnt get that
[09:21] <macd> might try reinstalling the gpg keys.
[09:21] <arm73c05> thanks macd
[09:22] <arm73c05> i see it became uninstalled for some reason.  maybe after my recent dist-upgrade.
[09:23] <arm73c05> not sure how that works.
[09:24] <ir1> Hi. How can i permamently change my locale settings?
[09:26] <daave_nm> add it in the ~/.bashrc file
[09:26] <ir1> thx
[09:26] <Maximinus> macd, any luck with cgwd?
[09:28] <daave_nm> no problem
[09:30] <abhinay> !harware
[09:30] <ubotu> I know nothing about harware - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[09:30] <abhinay> !hardware
[09:30] <ubotu> For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[09:30] <ubuntu> hi thar
[09:31] <ubuntu> can one do twinview mode with nvidia video card with the nv driver ?
[09:31] <wweasel> Hey everyone. I use Ubuntu, Swiftfox to browse and KMess for MSN. For some reason, though Swiftfox is set to my default browser in Gnome, KMess still opens windows in Firefox. Any ideas?
[09:31] <abhinay> how to configure hardware acceleration ?
[09:32] <Flannel> wweasel: 'default-browser' points to swiftfox?
[09:32] <Flannel> er, generic-browser? whatever the shell script is
[09:34] <wweasel> Flannel, I am not sure what the shell script in. By setting my default browser to swiftfox, what I mean is that in System > Preferences > Preferred Applications, it is set to run swiftfox.
[09:34] <Flannel> wweasel: run the command "sensible-browser" what starts up?
[09:35] <wweasel> Flannel: Aha! It is Firefox.
[09:35] <wweasel> Flannel: How do I change this?
[09:35] <sanmarcos> is cupsys modified in ubuntu to remove password auth?
[09:35] <Flannel> wweasel: you need to reconfigure that ;)  Um, I don't remember.  But I'm sure google knows ;)
[09:36] <macd> Maximinus yes working fine, apprently I need to use cgwd --replace
[09:37] <hiffy> Anyone about?
[09:37] <^richiefrich> hiffy  ?
[09:37] <Maximinus> Don't suppose anybody has any ideas on how to set a fixed memory allocation on an Intel 855G graphics chipset?
[09:38] <Flannel> wweasel: update-alternatives is the command you're looking for.
[09:38] <rast4> would anyone have a solution to a dual boot system with XP Pro and Ubuntu 6.06 LTS not booting after an install?
[09:38] <rast4> It just hangs
[09:38] <wweasel> Flannel: I was about to tell you how I did it :)
[09:39] <hiffy> More precisely
[09:39] <hiffy> anyone with a working ipod, preferably
[09:39] <hiffy> an ipod nano
[09:40] <hiffy> would they happen to be about :P?
[09:40] <^richiefrich> hiffy install rockbox  :P
[09:40] <hiffy> do you this to work?
[09:40] <trinidad_> how do i get irc links to open with xchat in firefox on dapper
[09:40] <wweasel> Flannel: Well, now sensible-browser gives me an error and KMess still opens firefox :/
[09:40] <hiffy> wait
[09:40] <hiffy> thats the firmware thing
[09:40] <hiffy> no!
[09:40] <^richiefrich> hiffy yes
[09:40] <hiffy> i want the apple thingy to work
[09:40] <^richiefrich> why
[09:40] <hiffy> cos its purty
[09:41] <^richiefrich> lol
[09:42] <trinidad_> anyone?
[09:42] <Flannel> trinidad_: ctrl click
[09:43] <wweasel> Flannel: This is the error that sensible-browser returns if I select Swiftfox: run-mozilla.sh: Cannot execute /usr/lib/swiftfox/x-www-browser-bin.
[09:43] <rast4> Ok let me try to be more clear, I installed Ubuntu 6.06 LTS on a Toshiba Satellite laptop, dual booting with Windows XP Pro. After the Ubuntu installed, I ran the program from http://www.getautomatix.com/ and download a ton of goodies I wanted. After I restarted, the system just hangs when I try to boot on Ubuntu
[09:43] <Maximinus> ooh, thanks Flannel - and thanks for asking trinidad_ - I've been right-clicking and clicking "open in browser"
[09:43] <rast4> I took out my PCMCIA card in hopes it was hanging on that, but no go. I reinstalled it, but it does the same thing every time.
[09:43] <Maximinus> ctrl+click is nicer :-P
[09:43] <wweasel> Flannel: But I believe that to be irrelevant, because KMess still happily launches Firefox.
[09:43] <rast4> I really like this flavor of linux and want this to work, so any help is appreciated.
[09:44] <Flannel> wweasel: sorry, I have no idea.  I imagine it's irrelevant as well.  You might ask in #kubunutu though, they're more adept at KDE related programs
[09:44] <wweasel> Flannel: Thanks :)
[09:45] <rast4> Does anyone have any suggestions for help with my issue then?
[09:46] <trinidad_> these type of links I click, "irc://irc.servernamehere.net/channelnamehere" just open xchat and don't take me to the channel
[09:48] <trinidad_> i guess the question is how do i get xchat to do it, seems firefox recognizes the link well enough to open xchat, but xchat doesn't open the channel
[09:48] <trinidad_> there has got to be something similar
[09:48] <wweasel> rast4: I'd like to help you, but I don't feel qualified.  If you come on at a different time someone might be here who can help you.  I know I used to use Automatix, but I found it buggy and that it caused more problems than it was worth.  Now I use Easy Ubuntu.
[09:48] <Baltazar^2> any expert in postfix, courier-pop3 and so on - for mail server ?
[09:48] <bioticpro> how do I play video files (avi) over samba share?  (video is one windows machine, want to play it on llinux)
[09:48] <Maximinus> oh, you're talking about going the other way, trinidad_
[09:49] <Baltazar^2> !samba
[09:49] <ubotu> samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[09:49] <Crazed> trinidad, did you look in "xchat --help"
[09:49] <rast4> maybe I'll do a reinstall again and skip the Automatix
[09:49] <rast4> see if that is the problem. At least that *might* isolate the problem
[09:49] <paotzu> rast4: what happened with automatix
[09:49] <Crazed> there you find this rule "  --url=URL                Open an irc://server:port/channel URL"
[09:49] <trinidad_> Maximinus, Crazed :  yes , no (respectively)
[09:49] <Crazed> think that will help you ?
[09:50] <wweasel> rast4: Paotzu might be able to help.
[09:50] <rast4> Well I installed Ubuntu, set it up and then I use Automatix and installed a ton of stuff, then my system hangs everytime after resstart now
[09:50] <rast4> restart*
[09:50] <rast4> it won't boot into Ubunti
[09:50] <rast4> I'm dual-booting
[09:50] <rast4> Ubuntu*
[09:50] <paotzu> rast4: grub hangs?
[09:50] <rast4> no it works
[09:50] <hans_> hi, does anybody know a good program to edit pdf-files?
[09:50] <paotzu> rast4: where does is hang?
[09:50] <rast4> goes through the motions, but when it's time to boot fully into Ubuntu, it hangs
[09:51] <rast4> after it starts to load
[09:51] <wweasel> rast4: Do you get to Splashy?
[09:51] <rast4> yes
[09:51] <paotzu> rast4: did you try ctrl-alt-f1 to see if you can get a command line?
[09:51] <rast4> I did the recovery boot and after it cleans the drive, I can get a command line
[09:52] <rast4> but I don't know what to do after that
[09:52] <rast4> I only used Slackware once
[09:52] <rast4> yeah after the splashy, it just hangs with a cursor
[09:52] <paotzu> rast4: what kind of video card do you have?
[09:53] <rast4> it's a Toshiba Satellite laptop
[09:53] <oasdasd> Hi, anyone know a realtime application that shows the network usage in REALTIME? (So i can watch remotly on a windows computer)
[09:53] <rast4> so I believe it's a Nvidia GO440
[09:53] <wweasel> I'm off. Good luck rast4. Thanks Flannel
[09:53] <rast4> thanks Wweasel
[09:53] <hans_> I can't believe nobody know a good program to edit pdf-files?
[09:53] <paotzu> hans_ you mean edit ones that are already made?
[09:53] <hans_> yes...
[09:54] <hans_> is it possible?
[09:54] <paotzu> hans_: you can try using some of the pdf2 and pdfto tools, like pdftoppm, etc.
[09:55] <rast4> paotzu: any ideas?
[09:55] <paotzu> rast4: something might be wrong with the video configuration in xorg.conf
[09:56] <rast4> is there a way to boot it in a safe mode?
[09:56] <paotzu> rast4: I had a similar problem, but I could do ctrl-alt-f1 and get a command line
[09:56] <rast4> I know that Automatix downloaded an Nvidia update
[09:56] <rast4> or the driver package
[09:56] <paotzu> rast4: that's it
[09:57] <paotzu> rast4: try booting and using ctrl-alt-f1 and ctrl-alt-f2 to get some command lines
[09:57] <rast4> ok let's see
[09:58] <paotzu> rast4: you should be able to do that where it hangs
[09:58] <paotzu> rast4: there were some lines for the ati driver that caused a full system hang... but that can't be your problem
[09:59] <Crazed> paotzu, the problem is when you try to switch with ctrl+alt+f1 it starts to hang ..
[09:59] <Crazed> he should have edited his grub menu ..
[09:59] <Crazed> and remove the splash logo
[10:00] <Crazed> he could be lucky if the nvidia driver isnt loaded
[10:00] <paotzu> what do you think the problem would be with the driver that causes the hang?
[10:01] <rast4> it made the system hang on cxtrl-alt-f2
[10:01] <rast4> should I try a reinstall and not use the Automatix to do the updates?
[10:02] <paotzu> well, you are going to want the driver to work so you can play bzflag and whatnot
[10:02] <rast4> so perhaps I can manually do the update
[10:02] <rast4> from Nvidia
[10:02] <paotzu> you were using automatixbleeder to get the nvidia hang?
[10:03] <rast4> no, after I installed, I used the Automatix to download all of the goodies
[10:03] <^NaTacHa^> mornin
[10:03] <rast4> and then once it told me to reboot, that's when it started to hang
[10:04] <rast4> I never rebooted before using Automatix
[10:04] <^NaTacHa^> how would i reboot ubuntu without X ?
[10:04] <rast4> so I'm wondering if that has something to do with it
[10:04] <Darkhack> shutdown -r now
[10:04] <paotzu> oh my friend recently had that same problem
[10:04] <rast4> with Automatix?
[10:04] <paotzu> with the reboot after using automatix
[10:04] <^NaTacHa^> anyone ?
[10:04] <smacky_wolf> Is there an easy way to make a Ubuntu dapper machine into a WAP like there is in SuSe?
[10:04] <rast4> it's such a nifty thing, I was eager to get it to work
[10:04] <paotzu> but he had an ati and there were two lines that needed to be changed into xorg.conf
[10:05] <rast4> let me make sure that it's Nvidia
[10:05] <rast4> I'm sure it is, but I want to make sure
[10:06] <^NaTacHa^> Darkhack to who are you speaking ?
[10:06] <solstice> hi. during the boot (and when i run it manually too) /etc/init.d/cryptdisks says [OK] . but my crypted partitions is NOT mounted. i have all my partitions in /dev/mapper . is it a bug ? i need to twice crypsetup the first failed because hda10 is in /dev/mapper. but it makes disapeears from /dev/mapper then cryptseup works. what's that mess ?see http://rafb.net/paste/results/x3olK034.html
[10:07] <Maximinus> Darkhack, I think the question might have been how to boot into a non-X environment
[10:07] <Darkhack> boot=runlevel 3
[10:08] <rast4> yeah it's Nvidia Go 64mb
[10:09] <Flannel> rast4: Automatix is a ticking time bomb, it might have very well botched your system
[10:09] <rast4> ok it's time to do a reinstall
[10:09] <rast4> but let me ask this
[10:09] <rast4> is there a program that isn't a time bomb that works the same?
[10:09] <bioticpro> can someone please help with playing avi video from a samba share?
[10:09] <rast4> I like what Automatix does
[10:09] <Maximinus> what does it do?
[10:10] <solstice> Znarl: hi. during the boot (and when i run it manually too) /etc/init.d/cryptdisks says [OK] . but my crypted partitions is NOT mounted. i have all my partitions (even the ones not encrypted) in /dev/mapper . is it a bug ? i need to run twice crypsetup the first time it failed because hda10 is in /dev/mapper. but it makes hda10 disapear from /dev/mapper then cryptsetup works. what's that mess...
[10:10] <rast4> it downloads a ton of programs
[10:10] <solstice> ...?see http://rafb.net/paste/results/x3olK034.html
[10:10] <rast4> for your install
[10:10] <smacky_wolf> Maximinus, lots of stuff =3
[10:10] <rast4> but it seems to botched my system
[10:10] <rast4> to have botched*
[10:10] <paotzu> rast4: if you look on ubuntuforums.org there is a bunch of stuff about getting nvidia cards past system hang
[10:11] <rast4> I'm just wondering if it's worth it to keep messing with it or to reinstall
[10:11] <rast4> which is easier
[10:11] <^NaTacHa^> how would i start ubuntu without X ?
[10:14] <^NaTacHa^> 3 you say
[10:14] <^NaTacHa^> it;s 2 now
[10:15] <paotzu> rast4: have you tried entering in recovery mode and then apt-getting the nvidia driver again
[10:15] <trinidad_> okAY
[10:15] <trinidad_> :)
[10:15] <trinidad_> Crazed, i THINK Ive got it
[10:15] <trinidad_> Maximinus, I think so
[10:16] <rast4> paotzu: I haven't simply because I'm unsure of how to do that, but I'd be grateful if you could help me or point in the right direction
[10:16] <smacky_wolf> Is there an easy way to make a Ubuntu dapper machine into a WAP like there is in SuSe?
[10:17] <paotzu> rast4: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-common;sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[10:17] <trinidad_> the next step is to pipe the output of the channel window into something that will sort each word
[10:17] <bioticpro> how do you mount a samba share locally?
[10:17] <rast4> ok let me boot into recovery mode, thanks.
[10:18] <frogzoo> smacky_wolf: you can enable wifi fairly easily, if that's what you mean
[10:18] <trinidad_> is there a way to read the screen and sort the data shown on the screen
[10:18] <trinidad_> ?
[10:18] <smacky_wolf> frogzoo: no, I want to make my machine into a wireless access point
[10:18] <Maximinus> smacky_wolf, I'm sure I saw something about it somewhere, but I can't remember where
[10:19] <TheGateKeeper> smacky_wolf: using hostpad?
[10:20] <rast4> paotzu: it says nvidia-glx is already the newest version
[10:20] <paotzu> smacky_wolf: I was confused, I thought you meant wireless applications protocol
[10:20] <smacky_wolf> paotzu, so many TLAs!
[10:20] <rast4> then it says Error: your X configuration has been altered. This script cannot proceed automatically. If you believe that this is not correct, you can update the md5sum entry executing the following command
[10:21] <rast4> then it has the command
[10:21] <rast4> so I assume I have the latest drivers installed
[10:21] <frogzoo> smacky_wolf: it exists, just not in the repos http://www.chillispot.org/
[10:21] <^NaTacHa^> ok runlevel 3 brings me to X to ...
[10:21] <TheGateKeeper> smacky_wolf: got a howto you used on suse?
[10:21] <^NaTacHa^> again i ask :/ how to start ubuntu without X ?
[10:21] <bilss_> hi
[10:21] <smacky_wolf> TheGateKeeper, YaSt can do it from install. Just a different option for setting up the card
[10:22] <smacky_wolf> frogzoo, thansk
[10:22] <bilss_> about to install a small web server do need a big one anyone know of it thttpd?
[10:23] <trinidad_> some irc://servernamehere/channelnamehere links will copy something to your clipboard so you can paste it upon the channel window opening; how does the information get pasted to the clipboard when clicking the link?
[10:24] <paotzu> rast4: you might try this guy's script: http://www.albertomilone.eu/europeo/nvidia_scripts1.html
[10:25] <bnD> can someone please tell me the command to start k3b from a term? k3b does nothing
[10:25] <rast4> paotzu: how would I run it if I can't boot?
[10:25] <paotzu> bnD: sudo apt-get install k3b;k3b?
[10:25] <bnD> paotzu, yes its installed
[10:26] <smacky_wolf> Er. Chill provides the AP?
[10:27] <frogzoo> smacky_wolf: oh look, someone's written a how to: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/ChillispotHotspot
[10:27] <smacky_wolf> Frogzoo: Excellent. I was just trawling the forums before
[10:27] <smacky_wolf> Thank you. =3
[10:27] <paotzu> brast4: crazed said something before that was useful, you should get into recovery mode, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and take out the word "splash"
[10:27] <frogzoo> bnD: k3b launches from the cli - but yours seems broken
[10:28] <paotzu> rast4: then it won't load the splash screen
[10:28] <rast4> ok i will try that
[10:28] <Crazed> just find all the splash words ..
[10:28] <Crazed> and delete them :P
[10:28] <paotzu> bnD: it launches from the menu but not the terminal?
[10:28] <rast4> what's the editor in Ubuntu
[10:28] <Crazed> ehm
[10:28] <Crazed> in console
[10:29] <Crazed> its nano
[10:29] <rast4> i booted into recovery
[10:29] <rast4> so I have a prompt
[10:29] <Crazed> try nano
[10:29] <rast4> worked, but it's  empty
[10:30] <Brownster> ^NaTacHa^,  re starting ubuntu without x check this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-8430.html
[10:30] <rast4> i did nano /etc/grub/menu.1st
[10:30] <Crazed> nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
[10:30] <Brownster> ^NaTacHa^,  looks like a few ways to do it, including changing the runlevel in /etc/inittab
[10:30] <^richiefrich> and to elaborate on the xchat  url opening in a browser,...  u can use -->  settings --> advanced --> url handlers
[10:30] <rast4> hmm still empty
[10:30] <smacky_wolf> frogzoo, yay. Not supported by x86_64. linux32 FTW!
[10:31] <rast4> I did ls -la
[10:31] <rast4> and there are no dirs
[10:31] <rast4> is this normal in recovery mode
[10:31] <rast4> ah nm
[10:32] <frogzoo> smacky_wolf: yep, 64support isn't what it could be
[10:32] <rast4> umm, I can't find a grub folder
[10:32] <smacky_wolf> Ubuntu 64 is incredibly... iffy
[10:32] <rast4> not in /etx
[10:32] <frogzoo> rast4: /boot/grub/
[10:32] <rast4> etc*
[10:32] <Crazed> are you using grub ?
[10:32] <Crazed> not lilo ?
[10:33] <rast4> yes grub, I found the dir, but there is nothing in menu.1st when I nano it
[10:33] <Crazed> you sure you look on the right place ?
[10:33] <rast4> I'm in /boot/grub
[10:33] <Vratha> macd: you still around?  now that i have build-essential installed and have been using it, i realize man pages to things like iopl(2) aren't install, etc.. you know what package installs those?
[10:34] <rast4> I don't thnk nano is working
[10:34] <Crazed> can you even boot to grub without rescue disk ?
[10:34] <jalu> met gabung
[10:34] <paotzu> menu . el es tee
[10:34] <rast4> I'm using the grub option and no disk
[10:34] <paotzu> not menu.1st
[10:34] <rast4> ohhh
[10:34] <rast4> lol
[10:34] <rast4> I'm sorry
[10:34] <Crazed> hehe paotzu ty :)
[10:35] <rast4> lmao, my apologies
[10:35] <rast4> ok I'm in
[10:35] <macd> Vratha not sure tbh.
[10:35] <rast4> so I'm killing the words splashy
[10:35] <Crazed> splash
[10:35] <rast4> ok
[10:35] <Crazed> only delete the word
[10:35] <rast4> can I # it
[10:35] <ripper> anyone get the yahoo messenger client to install? (from yahoo)
[10:35] <Crazed> nope
[10:36] <rast4> ok
[10:37] <Vratha> macd: np; i'll try google and #debian :)
[10:38] <rast4> thuis is all i see
[10:38] <paotzu> ripper: yea, I did alien on the rpm package and then dpkg -i
[10:38] <paotzu> ripper: you have to use the --scripts option iirc
[10:38] <rast4> kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-386 root=/dev/hda6 ro quiet splash
[10:38] <Vratha> macd: ah, it's manpages-dev, heh
[10:39] <macd> nice
[10:39] <ripper> that might work :P
[10:39] <ripper> im not using iirc
[10:39] <paotzu> ripper: if I recall correctly
[10:39] <ripper> ohh
[10:39] <ripper> lol
[10:40] <paotzu> ripper: I installed ymessenger ~ 2 months ago
[10:40] <ripper> cool
[10:40] <ripper> is the unix one any better than what it used to be?
[10:40] <paotzu> ripper: no
[10:40] <Crazed> rast4, you only need to remove splash
[10:40] <ripper> i was hoping it would support cams n what not
[10:40] <ripper> but i guess it never will
[10:41] <rast4> just the word splash in the line I typed?
[10:41] <Crazed> yes
[10:41] <Crazed> only that word
[10:41] <Crazed> not the whole line ;)
[10:41] <rast4> ok here goesnothing
[10:41] <macd> ripper heh my bad I use gaim, and it does voice for yim.
[10:42] <rast4> rebooting it
[10:42] <Crazed> you wont get a splash logo now
[10:42] <ripper> how @ macd
[10:42] <ripper> cause i have gaim
[10:42] <rast4> if it boots, I won't care :D
[10:42] <macd> It just has the mic in the window
[10:42] <macd> clikc the mix and it starts
[10:42] <ripper> mine dont
[10:42] <paotzu> ripper: gaim-vv does cams
[10:43] <Crazed> but what was your main problem rast4 ?
[10:43] <ubuntux> hello
[10:43] <rast4> I installed ubunti, then I set it up and used Automatix, then it won't boot after a restart
[10:44] <rast4> and it won't boot now
[10:44] <ubuntux> i need an help.
[10:44] <rast4> it still locks up after the restart
[10:44] <Crazed> you cant boot to X right ?
[10:44] <rast4> not just no splash
[10:44] <paotzu> rast4 installed the nvidia driver, he gets a common error when trying to do the nvidia-glx-config
[10:44] <rast4> right
[10:44] <madsj> I'm using the LiveCD (5.10, which is what I had); how do I use the "su" command ?
[10:44] <ubuntux> i upgraded my ubuntu on my notebook, but if i use the current kernel i can't use the network..
[10:44] <madsj> ie. what's the password
[10:44] <macd> paotzu dapper you dont use that.
[10:44] <Crazed> but you can use ctrl+alt+f1 now ?
[10:44] <Crazed> and login
[10:44] <ubuntux> madsj, just use sudo
[10:45] <rast4> no, that locked up my system
[10:45] <paotzu> macd: ahh, what do you use for that driver?
[10:45] <ubuntux> sudo <commandname>
[10:45] <Crazed> it used to lock up ?
[10:45] <macd> to make it work ?
[10:45] <Crazed> or is it still ?
[10:45] <macd> just repalce driver "nv" with driver "nvidia" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:45] <macd> restart X and your done.
[10:46] <rast4> literally, I installed Ubuntu, then set it up. I then installed the Automatix program and let it download a TON of stuff, then it said to restart, and then it hangs
[10:46] <rast4> that's as far as I've ever been
[10:46] <paotzu> rast4: try what macd just said
[10:46] <Crazed> dont think that will help ..
[10:46] <madsj> are a lot of the programs modified ? eg. cdrecord is hacked here on 5.10
[10:46] <Crazed> atuomatix sucks
[10:46] <rast4> I'm learning that I think
[10:47] <rast4> let me try what macd said just to try
[10:47] <macd> automatix works pretty good, if youve already sit-upgraded
[10:47] <DarthLappy> Is there any way to mount a .img as a floppy device? Not just so I can view it.
[10:47] <Crazed> it doesnt macd  ..
[10:47] <Crazed> it changes alot of things that shouldnt be changed
[10:47] <rast4> what should I do Crazed
[10:47] <Lattyware> Hey all, how can I edit my Hosts file, or rather, where is my Hosts file?
[10:47] <ripper> should be in /etc
[10:47] <Crazed> I dont rly know yo be honest
[10:48] <rast4> do a reinstall and not use Automatix?
[10:48] <Lattyware> ripper: It is, thanks.
[10:48] <Crazed> I would recommand a reinstall without automatix :P
[10:48] <Crazed> idd
[10:48] <rast4> hehe cool
[10:48] <Crazed> and also no easyubuntu
[10:48] <paotzu> I dunno, I used automatix for some things and anything it broke was pretty easy to fix
[10:48] <rast4> ok
[10:48] <ripper> np
[10:48] <Maximinus> rast4, even if you could get it to boot properly again, chances are that since Automatix seems to have borked that up, it's probably also borked other stuff up
[10:48] <paotzu> the only trouble I've seen is with video cards
[10:48] <Maximinus> so yeah, reinst sans Automatix sounds like a good plan
[10:48] <rast4> well I appreciate all of the help from everyone
[10:49] <goblyn> does anyone know how to manually enter a refresh rate for a monitor?
[10:49] <rast4> I'm going to do that, I'll hang out in here and let ya know as I go along
[10:49] <xeh> flash player for 64bit ubuntu?
[10:49] <ripper> i <3 my ubuntu but wish gaim-vv came with a .deb cause im not sure how to handle these autoinstaller pkgs
[10:49] <Crazed> you can find a good howto on ubuntuguide.org
[10:49] <rast4> I really dig this flavor of linux so I'm determined
[10:49] <TheGateKeeper> xeh: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava
[10:50] <TheGateKeeper> rast4: come accross this ? http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper
[10:51] <rast4> I haven't until now :)
[10:51] <rast4> thanks
[10:51] <rast4> I'm trying to figure out all the slang for this too
[10:52] <rast4> like all the "dapper" and whatnots
[10:52] <TheGateKeeper> rast4: dapper latest release, breezy previous release, Edgy next release :-)
[10:52] <rast4> damn that link is perfect
[10:52] <rast4> ahhh
[10:52] <rast4> yeah that's what I was wondering
[10:53] <Ych> ..
[10:53] <Ych> ok
[10:53] <Ych> thats better
[10:53] <rast4> thanks, that link is fantastic too
[10:53] <rast4> everything I'll need
[10:53] <TheGateKeeper> rast4: put a collection of links together you might find usefull: http://za1012001.googlepages.com/home
[10:53] <Crazed> rast4, only thing you 2 things you cant install from that link are automatix and easyubuntu
[10:53] <goblyn> does anyone know how to manually enter a refresh rate for a monitor?
[10:54] <rast4> yeah I learned my lesson I think
[10:54] <rast4> :D
[10:54] <rast4> sometimes simplicity isn't the answer
[10:54] <Ych> hmm
[10:54] <adi-beg> bye
[10:55] <Crazed> well it is simple when you use synaptic
[10:55] <rast4> isn't that the touchpad drivers?
[10:55] <Crazed> nope :P
[10:56] <Crazed> Synaptic is a package manager
[10:56] <santa99> !captive
[10:56] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[10:56] <rast4> right on
[10:56] <xeh> running msn through wine has anyone done it above msn version 6.2?
[10:56] <Thunderous> synaptics is the touchpad driver
[10:57] <tedito_love> hi all
[10:57] <goblyn> does anyone know how to manually enter a refresh rate for a monitor?
[10:57] <TheGateKeeper> xeh: why don't you just use kopete, gaim or aMsn?
[10:57] <Maximinus> xeh, why not use gaim, kopete, amsn or some other client?  Why specifically MSN Messenger via Wine?
[10:57] <Maximinus> TheGateKeeper, snap!
[10:58] <xeh> Thegatekeeper, Maximinus: i like the idea of having a "sub-name" althought i am unsure if kopete supports this, do you know?
[10:58] <TheGateKeeper> Maximinus: got there first, usually I am beaten to it because I am a slow typer :-)
[10:59] <Maximinus> TheGateKeeper, that'd be because I typed out half my message, then changed my mind and started from scratch ;-
[10:59] <Maximinus> * ;-)
[10:59] <TheGateKeeper> lol
[11:00] <TheGateKeeper> xeh sub-name ??
[11:00] <xeh> i guess what i am trying to say is i am agaist kde and kopete is kde =)
[11:01] <Dromen> xeh: why so anti kde?
[11:01] <DarthLappy> xeh, KDE is nice.
[11:01] <Dromen> im just curious i use gnome personally
[11:01] <TheGateKeeper> xeh: well as has already been suggested there are other alternatives
[11:01] <xeh> kde is dump
[11:01] <HeXiOn> hello
[11:01] <xeh> write those exact words down... "kde is dump"
[11:01] <Maximinus> xeh, I don't think kopete or gaim support it... but I think gaim2 might (but it's still in beta and I couldn't get it to install easily so I reverted to gaim)
[11:02] <Crazed> ..
[11:02] <goblyn> what plugin do i use in place of Quicktime for firefox?
[11:02] <ych> what's the hotkey to run a program?
[11:02] <Crazed> I install gaim2 but cant find any new options :P
[11:02] <HeXiOn> I want to bind with one key of my mouse the "double click". I managed to install xbindkeys, xmacroplay...etc  All binds works except double click. Can anybody help me?
[11:02] <DarthLappy> Maximinus, Support what?
[11:03] <amaia> how do I make procmail to read a new /etc/procmailrc file?
[11:03] <ych> it's something with f2 i think...
[11:03] <ych> but i cant remember what it was
[11:03] <Dromen> im gunna boot up fluxbox anyways
[11:03] <Dromen> l8rz
[11:03] <Maximinus> DarthLappy, the "sub-name" that xeh wants, or "personal message" as MSN calls it
[11:03] <DarthLappy> Maximinus, Oh.
[11:04] <DarthLappy> xeh, Write your own client.
[11:04] <xeh> i did
[11:04] <ych> anyone?
[11:04] <xeh> and its the pants of society
[11:04] <ych> I'm sure you guys all know this
[11:04] <DarthLappy> Read the MSN protocol and add it in to gaim/whateve
[11:04] <xeh> the gui looks like dump
[11:04] <DarthLappy> You look dump
[11:04] <xeh> HIYO
[11:04] <goblyn> what plugin do i use in place of Quicktime for firefox?
[11:05] <Tomcat_> goblyn: mozilla-mplayer
[11:05] <xeh> darthlappy you are the pants of society
[11:05] <UstasW> sup?
[11:05] <xeh> apt-get install pants
[11:05] <Pntkl> hello
[11:05] <DarthLappy> xeh, 'Course.
[11:05] <Tomcat_> goblyn: + w32codecs
[11:06] <goblyn> tomcat where can i get either of those from?
[11:06] <UstasW> confidential
[11:06] <Pntkl> that's a secret
[11:06] <xeh> ahah
[11:06] <ych> arghh, man i'm too tired to even find anything when i gooogle, can someone tell me what the hotkey to run a program is (like Ctrl+R on windows)?
[11:06] <Tomcat_> goblyn: mozilla-mplayer is in universe, w32codecs with Google. :o
[11:07] <Tomcat_> ych: Alt-F2
[11:07] <paotzu> ych: alt-f2
[11:07] <goblyn> tomcat: sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer?
[11:07] <[nige] > ych, alt-f2
[11:07] <Tomcat_> goblyn: Yes.
[11:07] <ych> thank you
[11:07] <ych> i did Ctrl+f2 or something
[11:07] <xeh> the pants of society...
[11:07] <ych> and killed my window manager
[11:07] <HeXiOn> I want to bind with one key of my mouse the "double click". I managed to install xbindkeys, xmacroplay...etc  All binds work except double click. Can anybody help me?
[11:07] <goblyn> tomcat: hmmm... this says it has no install candidate... gotta go looking i guess
[11:07] <ych> and startx wouldnt bring it back+
[11:07] <ych> that was messed up
[11:08] <paotzu> ych: if you do ctrl-alt-f7 it would come back
[11:08] <hume> How come I don't have all my fonts available in openoffice? Got a folder .fonts in my /home/user, it shows as installed in KDE font manger, but they are not available in OO. Anyone got advice?
[11:08] <xeh> hume: its because u run kde
[11:08] <ych> ohhhh ok
[11:08] <hume> xeh, :)
[11:08] <TheGateKeeper> goblyn: need to enable universe repo
[11:08] <ych> well ill remember that
[11:08] <ych> what exactly did that do?
[11:09] <hume> if I'll switch to gnome, what need I do there then?
[11:09] <ych> when i pressed ctrl f2
[11:09] <goblyn> thegatekeeper: i've already done that
[11:09] <xeh> hume: its real easy, gnome > kde
[11:09] <hume> xeh, ? dont understand..
[11:10] <paotzu> he is trolling on about pants and kde
[11:10] <TheGateKeeper> goblyn: you would have an installation candidate (assuming you haven't already installed) if you had done that
[11:10] <xeh> hume: its a mathimatical equation
[11:10] <hume> ah....ok...but what do I need to do to make the fonts appear in OO then?
[11:11] <xeh> hume: where x is = to pants and gnome>kde

[11:12] <HeXiOn> anybody knows how to bind double click with xbindkeys????
[11:12] <Thunderous> must be why u use gnome ;)
[11:12] <xeh> ooo was that a joke?
[11:12] <goblyn> tomcat: i can't seem to find it anywhere
[11:12] <Thunderous> no, i was deadly serious :)
[11:12] <Tomcat_> goblyn: mozilla-mplayer or w32coecs?
[11:13] <xeh> thunderous if i met you i would not shake your hand
[11:13] <goblyn> tomcat: mozilla mplayer
[11:13] <xeh> where as if i met anyone else id shake their hand
[11:13] <Thunderous> what would u shake xeh?
[11:13] <xeh> thunderous, nothing i wouldnt acknownledge your existance

[11:14] <raeLLL> i have installed Ubuntu 6.06, but when i upgrade it, libc6 and libc-i686 conflicts,
[11:14] <Zanathel> Hello - anyone here?
[11:14] <leeyee> http://ubuntuforums.org/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=3146
[11:15] <xeh> raelll x=pants y=yourhead x+y=solution
[11:15] <leeyee> Hi guys, would mind having a look at this?
[11:15] <Maximinus> Zanathel, No, this entire channel is completely devoid of activity.  Nobody is here at all.
[11:15] <raeLLL>   libc6: Depends: tzdata but it is not installable
[11:15] <raeLLL>   libc6-i686: PreDepends: libc6 (= 2.3.6-0ubuntu20) but 2.3.6-18 is installed
[11:15] <Tomcat_> Can anybody tell me how that alternative gnome panel was called?
[11:15] <Zanathel> How sad for a desperate being like me :)
[11:15] <Tomcat_> The one that grouped all your documents, conversations, etc?
[11:16] <raeLLL> which source have the package tzdata?
[11:16] <ripper> hmmm
[11:16] <Tomcat_> goblyn: Did you enable the multiverse repo?
[11:16] <ripper> gaim-vv dont wanna install for me
[11:16] <Zanathel> I have an issue with XServer - once the OS boots the screen gets black with a static non-blinking cursor in the upper left corner of the screen
[11:16] <paotzu> Hexion - instead of that, you can just change the gnome/kde behaviour to use single click instead
[11:16] <goblyn> Tomcat: i uncommented everything that was commented in /etc/apt/sources.list
[11:17] <xeh> paotzu the only option would be gnome..
[11:17] <HeXiOn> paotzu, I don't like that behavior... like single click and to be able to use double click in certain cases
[11:17] <Tomcat_> goblyn: You need a line like "deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper universe multiverse"
[11:18] <goblyn> tomcat: so put that into my sources.list?
[11:19] <Tomcat_> goblyn: Nah, just search for a "deb <something> dapper" line and put "multiverse" at the end.
[11:19] <goblyn> it's already there
[11:19] <goblyn> tomcat: deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper main restricted universe multiverse
[11:19] <Tomcat_> goblyn: Then after apt-get update you should find it.
[11:20] <Zanathel> well, should I try with the forums then?
[11:20] <paotzu> HeXiOn: well then assign things that are double-click to the button you want to use for double-click
[11:21] <goblyn> tomcat: heh, just got an error when doing apt-get update...
[11:21] <HeXiOn> paotzu, sorry I can't understand that ;)
[11:21] <goblyn> tomcat: but good enough to let me download this, appreciate it, i thought i'd already done that :-\
[11:22] <llama32> are there any decent animation programs around? i want something i can draw cartoons in and add sound
[11:22] <paotzu> HeXiOn: well say you have a mouse with 6 buttons and you want to use button 4 to double click, change the settings from "double click" to "button 4"
[11:22] <HeXiOn> paotzu, how do I do that?
[11:23] <HeXiOn> I have all other buttons configured (with xbindkeys)
[11:23] <HeXiOn> but can't emule double click
[11:23] <paotzu> HeXiOn: what desktop environment are you using?
[11:23] <paotzu> HeXiOn: ahh..
[11:23] <xeh> does emule require java to run?
[11:23] <goblyn> tomcat: wouldn't know how to manually change refresh rate would ya?
[11:24] <ych> amule, i take it?
[11:24] <ych> doesnt say anything about it
[11:24] <ych> but i have java, so couldnt say from experience

[11:26] <sesho1234> can anyone help me get back my internet connection ?"
[11:26] <sesho1234> sorry

[11:26] <xeh> sesho1234 you are using the internetz right now       x=pants  y=yourhead  x+y
[11:26] <paotzu> goblyn: you mean like in xorg.conf, to set it to 60 so it doesn't wave around from radio waves?
[11:26] <sesho1234> suddenly firefox says "cannot find server"
[11:26] <Xorlev> sesho1234: Blindly asking won't help anything. Give descriptions of the problem.
[11:26] <sesho1234> (using fedora)
[11:26] <Xorlev> sesho1234: So ask in #fedora
[11:27] <Baltazar^2> !postfix

[11:27] <sesho1234> NO
[11:27] <paotzu> goblyn: because I have a line in /etc/X11/xorg.conf that is HorizSync       60
[11:27] <sesho1234> im xchat from fedora- lost connectivity on Ubuntu
[11:27] <Tomcat_> Baltazar^2: sudo dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config? :)
[11:27] <goblyn> paotzu: actually i want to set it to 75
[11:27] <sesho1234> im using fedora to talk cause i have no internet on Ubuntu
[11:28] <paotzu> goblyn: same thing then
[11:28] <Brokenstein> hi im new to ubuntu and im having trouble getting archive manager to unpack a splir rar (filename.part1.rar)
[11:28] <goblyn> paotzu: how'd you do it?
[11:28] <Baltazar^2> Tomcat_: Will this give me pop3 as well ?
[11:28] <Tomcat_> Baltazar^2: Nah, for that I suggest dovecot-pop3
[11:28] <Baltazar^2> Tomcat_: What about courier ?
[11:28] <paotzu> goblyn: sudo nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf press ctrl-W, type "HorizSync" and change that number.  Hit ctrl-x to save and exit.
[11:28] <sesho1234> My problem :suddenly - firefox said "no server found"
[11:28] <Brokenstein> says archive type unsupported
[11:29] <sesho1234> then I cant ping any web
[11:29] <sesho1234> are you people there?
[11:29] <Tomcat_> sesho1234: How do you connect? Routing? NAT? PPPoE?

[11:31] <paotzu> goblyn: well there you go, tweak with that setting until you get a good refresh.  I have only done the opposite of what you're doing because at work we have interference everywhere.
[11:31] <DarthLappy> 'Ello jan1024188
[11:32] <mensur> paotzu, me 2 but i cant find anywhere gset-compiz... and why are they ignored deb http://www.beerorkid.com/compiz/ dapper main, deb http://xgl.compiz.info/ dapper main i have added the key but they keep get ignored all the time

[11:32] <mensur> zcat[1] , yes 1000 times
[11:32] <Tomcat_> sesho1234: What does ifconfig say for the interface that is connected to the NAT machine?
[11:32] <goblyn> paotzu: well the whole thing is, i have my monitor set to 75 on Windows,  and when i get on here it's set to 60... so it's killing my eyes, and i need to change it BAD
[11:32] <sesho1234> Tomcat_ let me see...
[11:32] <jan1024188> does anybody here use slackware linux?
[11:33] <CyberSlug> I have been updating my computer to edgy for quite some time, but have never been able to successfully use the 2.16.17 kernels - since the nvidia driver freaks out (/dev/video0 not writable, or something similar)... Has anyone else had this problem / Know the solution?
[11:33] <goblyn> how do i restart x?
[11:33] <CyberSlug> goblyn, Ctrl - Alt - Bkspc
[11:33] <vook> I haven't heard the word "slackware" in a really long time.  Thanks!
[11:33] <sesho1234> Tomcat_ I'm not sure I know how to read these info in ifconfig
[11:34] <sesho1234> can you tell me what to look for?
[11:34] <Brokenstein> can anyone help me get archive manager to unpack .rar split archives?
[11:34] <paotzu> goblyn: switch the horizsync line to 75
[11:34] <Tomcat_> sesho1234: The interface connected to the NAT machine should have an IP ("inet address") that is similar to the one of the NAT machine.
[11:34] <paotzu> mensur: did you do the apt-key add and all of that
[11:34] <Tomcat_> sesho1234: If you NAT machine has 192.168.0.1, you should have 192.168.0.<something>.

[11:46] <Tomcat_> sesho1234: No, the internal IP of the NAT machine... the NAT machine will have two IPs, I need the internal one.
[11:46] <Maximinus> nick373434, you forgot the "/join "
[11:46] <CyberSlug> nilesh: Dump them in /usr/share/fonts, and run: fc-cache
[11:46] <Thunderous> niles u can sudo apt-get msttcorefonts but you will have to have the appropriate repo enabled
[11:46] <sesho1234> Tomcat_ I understand , but I dont know - how do I find out?
[11:46] <CyberSlug> nilesh892003, I think that is right.....
[11:46] <paotzu> mensur: and all the places I look for the rpm have broken links... what a mystery
[11:46] <sesho1234> Can I find out from here (Fedora is also conected to the router)
[11:46] <Tomcat_> sesho1234: You could do ifconfig on the NAT machine...
[11:47] <mensur> paotzu, haha lol!... huge mystery
[11:47] <sesho1234> Tomcat_ how?
[11:47] <Tomcat_> sesho1234: Yeah... do "route" in Fedora and paste the output on the pasteboard.
[11:47] <CyberSlug> nilesh892003, Or for just your user: ~/.fonts - no cache necessary
[11:47] <paotzu> mensur: oh wait, this page http://chodus.xxl-web.pl/linux/compiz.php
[11:48] <sesho1234> Tomcat_ "route" command not found.....

[11:49] <mensur> paotzu, hmmm i must try
[11:50] <glen_> harm_: prob. level of security: user or share?
[11:51] <sesho1234> Tomcat_ is 192.168.1.0 the NAT address?
[11:51] <Tomcat_> sesho1234: Nah, there should be something in "gateway".
[11:52] <Rookie-> harm_ - you need to set a user and pwd for smb too ... you forgot that ? or you trying to connect with a diff. user ?
[11:52] <harm_> glen_ nvm i think by adding a user :D
[11:53] <harm_> Rookie- yah forgot to add a user.. used the -n option :P i should restart deamons before new password works?
[11:53] <sesho1234> Tomcat_ what do I do now?
[11:53] <Rookie-> yea, u need 2 do that
[11:54] <Tomcat_> sesho1234: Either paste the output of route, or tell me what's in the "gateway" column.
[11:54] <paotzu> mensur: there is the suse one you could try http://repos.opensuse.org/Compiz-Quinn/SUSE_Linux_10.1/i586/gset-compiz-0.3.4-18.1.i586.rpm
[11:54] <sesho1234> Tomcat_ sorry I thought I pasted it...
[11:54] <goblyn> is there any way to force Linux to re-detect my monitor?
[11:55] <harm_> Rookie how do i restart deamon, /etc/init.d * ?
[11:55] <sesho1234> Tomcat_ http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20359
[11:55] <Rookie-> smbd restart
[11:55] <Rookie-> might be sudo
[11:55] <sesho1234> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20359
[11:55] <paotzu> goblyn: are you still trying to set the horizsync?
[11:56] <goblyn> paotzu: it didn't work
[11:56] <goblyn> paotzu i changed it and it didn't change the refresh rate, it still kills my eyes
[11:56] <paotzu> goblyn: if you know the actual range of your monitor (sometimes on a sticker on the back) you can put that in
[11:56] <harm_> rookie sec gf is on msn now :|
[11:57] <Rookie-> you can also try /etc/rc*.d/smbd restart
[11:58] <goblyn> paotzu: well, i have about 5 monitors sitting around (i repair PCs) and i know at least 2 of them will work with Linux just fine, so i might just plug one of those up and let it auto-detect it, then change monitors
[11:58] <Tomcat_> sesho1234: Check the route in Ubuntu please... paste it somewhere.
[11:58] <sesho1234> Tomcat_ ok
[11:58] <paotzu> goblyn: if you need to use a specific modeline for your monitor, you can apt-get install videogen to get it
[11:58] <Tomcat_> sesho1234: And try to ping 64.233.187.99 from Ubuntu please.
[11:58] <harm_> goblyn O.o dont all monitors work fine?
[11:59] <paotzu> goblyn: then just paste the modeline you want under horizsync
[11:59] <paotzu> goblyn: by under I mean the next line
[11:59] <goblyn> harm_: not all monitors auto-detect
[12:00] <cyber_brain_mfkg> ok! i need a little help!i couldn find it on wiki! I installed azureus and it says that i must open 48336 UDP port!HOW?
[12:00] <sesho1234> Tomcat_ no problem pinging that IP
[12:00] <goblyn> paotzu: and what exactly does videogen do?
[12:00] <DarthLappy> cyber_brain_mfkg, www.portforward.com
[12:00] <Tomcat_> sesho1234: Okay... paste the output of "cat /etc/resolv.conf"
[12:00] <paotzu> goblyn: note that if you install videogen, it will be in /usr/X11R6/bin/videogen
[12:00] <Rookie-> in every linux dist (and unix) all ports are closed by default .... not as windows where everything is open
[12:00] <harm_> cyber_brain_mfkg dude.. just log into ur router and sizzle the NAT page
[12:01] <paotzu> goblyn: videogen creates valid Modelines that you can paste into xorg.conf to run your monitor at a specific frequency
[12:01] <easytiger> anyone have a ra0 wireless interface working? mine can see the wireles networks.. but won't seem to work.
[12:01] <paotzu> goblyn: do a man videogen after installing it, it requires you to put in some options

[12:41] <sesho12345> people , an Ubuntu user inurgent need of help is here - lost my internet connection
[12:42] <Tomcat_> Gassed: Probably by downloading the appropriate version of wine (source, should be noted somewhere with the patch), and then compiling it... which will be difficult. :o
[12:42] <Gassed> Tomcat_: Why do you end everything with :o? Im new to this - how do I compile this stuff?
[12:42] <Tomcat_> sesho12345: Somebody needs to fix your DNS... you'll probably get help more quickly if you say that :o
[12:43] <sesho12345> Tomcat_ fix my DNS?
[12:43] <chemist> i can't find xlibs package in synaptic. why?
[12:43] <Tomcat_> Gassed: I don't know... just a regular smiley of mine. ;) See if you can find a guide to compiling wine on ubuntuforums... I have never done it.
[12:43] <Gassed> sesho12345: How are you here if you have no internet?
[12:43] <Hobbsee> chemist: because it doesnt exist?  it's a transition package that got removed.
[12:43] <Tomcat_> sesho12345: Yes, it's only your DNS subsystem that's fucked...
[12:43] <paotzu> not really, apt-get build-dep wine, apt-get source wine, untar the wine source, do cat d3d8.....patch | patch -p1, ./configure;make;make install
[12:43] <sesho12345> Gassed - im on Fedora in another machine
[12:44] <Gassed> k
[12:44] <trygvebw> chemist, aren't they called libx11?
[12:44] <sesho12345> Tomcat_ is that a problem with my router?
[12:44] <paotzu> I have three different patched versions of wine
[12:44] <Gassed> E: You must put some source URIs in your sources.list
[12:44] <Gassed> ?
[12:44] <Tomcat_> sesho12345: No, it's a problem with your Ubuntu... but I don't know how to fix it right now.
[12:45] <sesho12345> Tomcat_ Ok ,thank you
[12:45] <zool2005> does anyone else have a problem with gdmflexiserver (new login command) returning you to your own locked screen?
[12:45] <paotzu> gassed: look at /etc/apt/sources.list and put in some of the deb-src ones
[12:45] <chemist> there was a package whose dependency was xlibs. i found xlibs dev but not xlibs
[12:45] <sesho12345> Tomcat_ I pretty much a newbie , can you tell me which details are important , I will post on the forum
[12:45] <Seveas> chemist, that package is broken
[12:45] <Tomcat_> sesho12345: Your /etc/resolv.conf doesn't have any entries, and that's the problem - it should state your DNS server (either from your ISP or from your NAT router)... but I can only tell you a quick fix... not a long-term fix.
[12:46] <Seveas> xlibs no longer exists - nothing should depend on it
[12:46] <Gassed> dev-src?
[12:46] <sesho12345> Tomcat_ a quickfix is also OK....
[12:46] <Tomcat_> sesho12345: As you said, you can ping certain IP addresses (I gave you the one from google.com), but you can't ping google.com directly... that means only your DNS (/etc/resolv.conf) is fucked.
[12:46] <paotzu> gassed: some of the entries say deb, some say deb-src, uncomment the deb-src ones
[12:46] <DarthLappy> Where would one obtain libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2?
[12:46] <Seveas> !searcg libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2
[12:46] <ubotu> I know nothing about searcg libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:46] <sesho12345> Tomcat_ that makes sense
[12:46] <Seveas> !search libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2
[12:46] <ubotu> Found nothing
[12:46] <Gassed> !pastebin
[12:46] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[12:46] <Seveas> hmm
[12:47] <Seveas> !search libstdc++2
[12:47] <ubotu> Found nothing
[12:47] <Seveas> ubotu, broken piece of @@%&

[12:47] <Tomcat_> sesho12345: Do "telnet 192.168.0.1 53" and tell me if it quits directly or if it just sits there.
[12:47] <Gassed> paotzu: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20367 thats all I get
[12:47] <sesho12345> Tomcat_ quits immidietly
[12:48] <Gassed> hello?
[12:48] <Tomcat_> sesho12345: Damn... then the quick fix is more difficult... :)
[12:48] <raboof> i don't want snd_pcm_oss to be loaded. how can I disable that? grepping through /etc didn't turn up anything
[12:49] <sesho12345> Tomcat_ thats very sad.....
[12:49] <Tomcat_> sesho12345: Do "cat /etc/resolv.conf" on the NAT machine.
[12:49] <TheGateKeeper> !info libstdc++2
[12:49] <ubotu> Package libstdc++2 does not exist in dapper
[12:49] <sesho12345> Tomcat_ how do I do that?
[12:49] <paotzu> gassed - add lines identical to those except that say "deb-src"
[12:49] <Tomcat_> sesho12345: Log into the machine, then do "cat /etc/resolv.conf"
[12:49] <Gassed> kk
[12:50] <HeXiOn> hello. I want to autoload "xbindkeys" (gnome). I put it in the session manager, but it doesn't load. How do I do?
[12:50] <trygvebw> i'm having a problem adding new charsets using the "Keyboard Preferences" box in Ubuntu. whenever i add a new charsets, i get an error that tells me that there was an error when activating the xkb configuration. i've posted some info about my system here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20370. the charset i'm trying to add is "Norway eliminate dead keys"
[12:50] <sesho12345> Tomcat_ I think i mislead you , I have two machinese (fedora and ubuntu) and a router, but I dont think one of them is set as a NAT machine, the router is a NAT machine
[12:50] <zool2005> does anyone use the new login (gdmflexiserver) command?
[12:50] <sesho12345> Tomcat_ or maybe I dont understand.....
[12:51] <Gassed> paotzu: E: Could not open file /var/lib/apt/lists/gb.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_dapper_main_source_Sources - open (2 No such file or directory)
[12:51] <chemist> can i install kde-desktop from kubuntu cd in ubuntu?
[12:51] <paotzu> hmm... well I'm getting too sleepy to concentrate enough to give you the right repos... sorry
[12:52] <Gassed> kk nm...
[12:52] <DarthLappy> Wow, it's an old package O_o http://packages.debian.org says 2001
[12:52] <goblyn> Paotzu: perfect

[12:52] <sesho12345> nameserver 211.167.97.67
[12:52] <paotzu> goblyn: that worked?
[12:53] <Tomcat_> sesho12345: Good... add these two lines to your Ubuntu /etc/resolv.conf... do "gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.con" to edit it.
[12:53] <Tomcat_> sesho12345: After that, try "ping google.com" again.

[12:54] <easytiger> has anyone tried that?
[12:54] <goblyn> paotzu: the numbers you gave me didn't work, they were too high, but i found out when i put the numbers too high... a message pops up on my monitor telling me the acceptable limits, lol
[12:54] <goblyn> paotzu: thanks for your help

[12:56] <sesho12345> Tomact_ cant ping google but I got internet back!
[12:56] <sesho12345> Tomcat_ THANKYOU
[12:56] <sesho12345> Thankyou
[12:56] <Tomcat_> sesho12345: Well you should be able to... but as long as it's working, good. :P
[12:57] <Tomcat_> sesho12345: It might stop working the next time you reboot or something... I suspect it has something to do with VMWare...
[12:57] <sesho12345> Tomcat_ u said it's short term - should i still post for solutions in the forum?
[12:57] <sesho12345> (vmware doesnt work on my Ubuntu)
[12:58] <sesho12345> (I got some strange error when i installed it)
[12:58] <Tomcat_> sesho12345: Well if it's working for a couple of days and reboots, you're all set as long as your ISP doesn't change DNS servers... but if it doesn't work, you need to find a long-term solution... show people your /etc/resolv.conf (the top part) and maybe somebody will be able to help.
[12:59] <sesho12345> Tomcat_ thank you VERY MUCH
[12:59] <chemist> what is the package to gtk+ applications make run
[12:59] <Tomcat_> sesho12345: No problem. ;)

[01:00] <Khamael> is there a known bug with firefox that freezes the whole pc?
[01:00] <chemist> what should i do if i messed up with my repositories
[01:01] <snail> i've already installed ubuntu on a box, but i suspect that I'm not using the best kernel for my hardware. how do I go about introspecting the hadrware and selecting a suitable kernel? This is an x86 (and maybe dual core/ dual cpu)
[01:01] <IRCMonkeyX> hi, i deleted an item from my panel by mistake, and i tried "add panel" all default things , i still cant find that panel, when i used to open amsn and rythbox, amsn and rythbox icons was in that panel, i used to just click on icons applications used to go there, i cant find it now, could you help me to add it pls, gnome desktop here...
[01:01] <snail> Khamael: if it freezes the whole PC, it's more than a bug in firefox
[01:01] <TheGateKeeper> chemist: http://za1012001.googlepages.com/modifyingubunturepositories
[01:01] <asabil> Khamael, it shouldn't freeze the pc
[01:01] <asabil> this ain't windown
[01:02] <Khamael> asabil: it seems that whenever I use firefox too long, it freezes. I can play Guild Wars for hours without problems
[01:02] <Tomcat_> IRCMonkeyX: That should be "Notification Area"
[01:02] <ych> 07-bow_wow-bow
[01:02] <TheGateKeeper> snail: have a look at the kernel howto's on the ubuntu forums
[01:03] <asabil> Khamael, i think it's X related
[01:03] <snail> TheGateKeeper: will do
[01:03] <hysj> Hello, could anyone help me activatin dual screen function?
[01:03] <IRCMonkeyX> tomcat: yes sir thanx
[01:03] <ROBOd> hello
[01:03] <Tomcat_> Hi ROBOd. :)
[01:03] <Khamael> asabil: is there a test origram that can check what is up?
[01:03] <ROBOd> i want to have executable files from ~/bin available in my "path"
[01:04] <asabil> Khamael, what did you do before ?
[01:04] <ROBOd> so i can directly write my-script blah
[01:04] <TheGateKeeper> snail: do you want to customise & optimise your system?
[01:04] <asabil> that's the best progrm i know :D
[01:04] <ROBOd> instead of ~/bin/my-script blah
[01:04] <ROBOd> how to do it?
[01:04] <solsTiCe> when i try to install totem-xine, synaptic wants to remove totem, totem-gstreamer and ubuntu-desktop wtf !
[01:04] <Khamael> asabil: read mail in evolution and browsing the web with firefox.
[01:04] <asabil> ...
[01:04] <asabil> what did you change to your system ?
[01:05] <ROBOd> asabil: or use opera for email and web browsing
[01:05] <asabil> oO
[01:05] <asabil> ROBOd, ?
[01:05] <ROBOd> Opera internet suite
[01:05] <ROBOd> you know it?
[01:05] <asabil> yes ? and ?
[01:05] <ROBOd> it has an email client, quite a good one
[01:06] <longbean> ROBOd: set the $PATH environment variable in either ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile
[01:06] <ROBOd> you can use that instead of evolution
[01:06] <asabil> oO
[01:06] <ROBOd> longbean: thanks dude :)
[01:06] <asabil> ROBOd, i think you are mixing me and Khamael no ?
[01:06] <Tomcat_> ROBOd: /etc/environment contains the system path... but you can change the ones longbean said as well...
[01:06] <ROBOd> thanks Tomcat_
[01:06] <Tomcat_> ROBOd: Probably better to use ~/.bash*, because other users won't have access anyway.
[01:07] <asabil> Khamael, what did you change to your system ?
[01:07] <asabil> did you put any unstable X ?
[01:07] <ROBOd> asabil: aha, true
[01:07] <asabil> are you using any proprietary graphic driver ?
[01:07] <Khamael> asabil: mostly updates. don`t think I installed any background progs
[01:07] <longbean> Tomcat_: better to set the PATH for one user only i feel. better security practice
[01:08] <asabil> ROBOd, and btw i used to use opera, i can't stand it now, i prefer simple programs
[01:08] <joshuabeat> i need help i downloaded the ubuntu and burn it as bootable cd using Nero..it doesnt boot from my cd drive
[01:08] <Tomcat_> longbean: Well in his case, yes... other users won't have access to ~ROBOd/bin anyway :)
[01:08] <asabil> Khamael, since when does this happen ?
[01:08] <joshuabeat> please help me..
[01:08] <Khamael> asabil: last week
[01:08] <Khamael> asabil: I think
[01:08] <Tomcat_> longbean: It's not really a security question if you have something in path or not... the access depends on ownership and permissions anyway ;)
[01:08] <asabil> Khamael, then try to remember the updates you did
[01:09] <Tomcat_> longbean: But you are right for his case.
[01:09] <joshuabeat> please help me :/
[01:09] <asabil> (i know this is hard)
[01:09] <joshuabeat> i need help i downloaded the ubuntu and burn it as bootable cd using Nero..it doesnt boot from my cd drive

[01:10] <Tomcat_> ROBOd: Did you restart the console? What is the exact line in .bash_profile?
[01:10] <Tomcat_> ROBOd: What does "env" say?
[01:10] <asabil> Khamael, you can force the version in synaptic
[01:11] <joshuabeat> i did that..
[01:11] <ROBOd> # set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
[01:11] <joshuabeat> i get my other cd bootable.
[01:11] <asabil> joshuabeat, sis you check the iso you doenloaded?
[01:11] <ROBOd> if [ -d ~/bin ]  ; then
[01:11] <joshuabeat> how..
[01:11] <ROBOd> PATH=~/bin:"${PATH}"
[01:11] <asabil> joshuabeat, md5sum ?
[01:11] <ROBOd> fi
[01:11] <joshuabeat> asabil how
[01:11] <ROBOd> Tomcat_: that's all
[01:11] <asabil> joshuabeat, there are some docs on the web
[01:11] <joshuabeat> wats md5sum
[01:11] <ROBOd> i suppose that's ubuntu default
[01:11] <joshuabeat> i know.
[01:11] <asabil> wait i'll try to fond them back
[01:12] <joshuabeat> can u send me the link..

[01:12] <joshuabeat> thanks..
[01:12] <asabil> i am looking
[01:12] <TheGateKeeper> joshuabeat: you have burnt it as an iso image and not just put the single iso file on your cd?
[01:12] <asabil> lol
[01:12] <joshuabeat> yup..
[01:12] <joshuabeat> iso around 630 mb
[01:12] <joshuabeat> ??
[01:12] <ych> what version of gnome is on dapper?
[01:12] <joshuabeat> ++ 630mb
[01:12] <Khamael> asabil: or just use opera, and see if it still freezes?
[01:12] <asabil> yep that's a solution
[01:13] <joshuabeat> is there a site where i can follow..
[01:13] <asabil> Khamael, epiphany is good too you know
[01:13] <joshuabeat> asabill?
[01:13] <Khamael> asabil: then I`ll try it
[01:13] <asabil> joshuabeat, 630 doesn't look okey to me

[01:14] <buffoon> hi there, I have troubles with the dns of my router, so i inserted the dns server in /etc/resolv.conf and that works fine. The only problem i have is that it overwrites it after a while with the ip of the internal router. Is there any possibility to prevent this?
[01:14] <Khamael> asabil: what happened to galeon,btw?
[01:14] <asabil> joshuabeat, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto

[01:14] <asabil> Khamael, dead
[01:14] <ROBOd> Tomcat_: any suggestions? i am now using the gnome terminal... but i want my bin scripts to be available in all terminals
[01:14] <joshuabeat> im on my way asabil
[01:15] <ROBOd> Tomcat_: i have check from vt1, yes, my ~/bin works, but ... i want in gnome terminal
[01:15] <joshuabeat> i know this already
[01:15] <Tomcat_> ROBOd: Well, answer my questions... did you restart the console after changing your PATH? What does "env" say about the PATH?
[01:15] <longbean> ROBOd: .bash_profile only gets run from a login shell. from an x-terminal it's only .bashrc that gets run
[01:15] <ych> thanks tomcat
[01:15] <ROBOd> longbean: that's the problem then
[01:16] <Khamael> asabil: I get  "Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status" when I try to apt-get update
[01:16] <joshuabeat> does it mean i cant use my nero to burn the ISO cd
[01:17] <ROBOd> thanks guys
[01:17] <ROBOd> problem solved
[01:17] <ROBOd> gotta go now :)
[01:17] <ROBOd> bye
[01:18] <Khamael> what can I do when I get "Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status"?
[01:18] <jatt> which package does this file belong to?
[01:18] <jatt> $ dpkg -S /etc/inetd.conf
[01:18] <jatt> dpkg: /etc/inetd.conf not found.
[01:19] <raboof> hm. looks like System->Preferences->Sessions->Startup Programs doesn't allow me to specify the order in which the programs are started. are they started in the order listed there?
[01:19] <twosharp> Hi =) What is the easiest way to install ONLY ubuntu-minimal and ubuntu-standard? and not all the other crap like GUI and stuff..
[01:20] <fyrestrtr> twosharp: boot from the alternate install cd, and type 'server' at the boot prompt.
[01:20] <javiolo> hi
[01:20] <twosharp> fyrestrtr: but then it will install apache and stuff also right?
[01:20] <fyrestrtr> no
[01:21] <fyrestrtr> it only does that if you install the lamp server.
[01:21] <twosharp> fyrestrtr: ok =) Thanks :)
[01:21] <fyrestrtr> a server install is just the basic tools, cron, irssi, and core utils to get you a bootable system.
[01:21] <fyrestrtr> everything else you get to do yourself.
[01:22] <Tomcat_> twosharp: You could try using the alternate CD in expert mode... there might be some option to manually select packages... not sure though.
[01:22] <joshuabeat> duh
[01:22] <joshuabeat> please help me..
[01:22] <joshuabeat> is there a way i can boot the Bootable CD using the NEro
[01:23] <fyrestrtr> boot or burn?
[01:23] <twosharp> Tomcat_: I will =) Working on it right now actually :)
[01:23] <asabil> joshuabeat, first verify the iso
[01:25] <mson> TheGateKeeper: are you still 'round?  I'm up!  Only thing is resolution and I can't remember what you toldme!
[01:25] <hysj> Is there no dual screen config in ubuntu? that is, is there no grafical settup?
[01:25] <joshuabeat> yes its verified
[01:25] <fyrestrtr> hysj: no
[01:25] <TheGateKeeper> mson: which bit?
[01:25] <hysj> then does anyone know how i could set it up?
[01:25] <fyrestrtr> !xenerama > hysj

[01:26] <mson> TheGateKeeper: you gave me a dpkg-reconfigure line Ithink, which would fix the resolution (I'm at 1024x768, but the monitor's native res is 1280x1024 - directly editing xorg.conf oddly had no effect)
[01:26] <DarthLappy> Wow, I broke my install :P

[01:31] <joshuabeat> one more question....do i need partition magic to install the UBuntu
[01:31] <Tomcat_> joshuabeat: Nope,

[01:32] <joshuabeat> wow.!! tomcat..
[01:32] <joshuabeat> thats nice
[01:32] <joshuabeat> at the moment im downloading the ISO burner from the site you sent me..
[01:32] <buffoon> hi there, I have troubles with the dns of my router, so i inserted the dns server in /etc/resolv.conf and that works fine. The only problem i have is that it overwrites it after a while with the ip of the internal router. Is there any possibility to prevent this?
[01:32] <asabil> okey cool
[01:32] <asabil> joshuabeat, welcome to the free world ;)
[01:33] <joshuabeat> so Nero cant burn the ISO....for Linux.
[01:33] <section31> Everytime I copy and paste more than 1 line of text from my windows machine to my ssh server via putty, it doesn't seem to refresh the screen on putty properly.  Anyone know what this could be?
[01:33] <joshuabeat> thanks asabil cant w8 to see the free world..
[01:33] <asabil> joshuabeat, i hope you'll like it :)
[01:33] <joshuabeat> i hate craking and serialz...and i hate spending buying all the soft
[01:33] <joshuabeat> im crossing my fingers..
[01:33] <mson> TheGateKeeper: yeah, I've been trying to install it on his system for months but there's always been a snag (with wine, for example) so he's never really been able to use it
[01:33] <asabil> and you'll drop that wincrap thingie
[01:34] <mson> TheGateKeeper: Thing is he doesn't know enough to fix this kind of stuff
[01:34] <joshuabeat> yes asabil..i believe
[01:34] <mson> TheGateKeeper: even for me it's a challenge sometimes
[01:34] <joshuabeat> there is such a thing as free..
[01:34] <asabil> so you have taken the red pill ;)
[01:34] <joshuabeat> any problem with wifi..just incase
[01:34] <mson> TheGateKeeper: so you think I should report this as a bug?  Where do I do that?
[01:35] <joshuabeat> im using intel core duo. with internal wifi
[01:35] <makebest> hello ,everyone,my name is Yuxiang He (chinese name ) and i am going to an american company to work , so i need an English name ,could you wormhearted people give me an English name (this name is better have something to do with my chinese name ))  thank you very much

[01:36] <makebest> ok thanks
[01:36] <joshuabeat> wonderful.

[01:36] <_mason> Ohh
[01:36] <DarthLappy> I broke libc somehow, and apt-get -f install won't fix it. Does anybody know how to?
[01:36] <asabil> and submit a bug
[01:36] <joshuabeat> ok then i will do that..
[01:36] <asabil> DarkAudit, sur you broke libc ?

[01:37] <joshuabeat> can i be able to choose os to boot
[01:37] <DarthLappy> asabil, I tried to manually install something that overwrote it
[01:37] <DarthLappy> Very cleverly.
[01:37] <neki_deki> ello ppl
[01:37] <asabil> joshuabeat, as long as you don't reinstall a stupid OS after linux you will be able
[01:37] <fyrestrtr> DarthLappy: oh nice.
[01:37] <joshuabeat> wonderful..
[01:37] <neki_deki> is there any of u using acad?
[01:37] <asabil> DarkAudit, does it mean that opening a terminal doesn't work ?
[01:38] <neki_deki> AutoCAD
[01:38] <DarthLappy> asabil, I haven't actually tried, I broke it through ssh
[01:38] <joshuabeat> so i will have a dual boot PC then? wonderful..

[01:43] <tapas> hi, i'm trying to build my own live cd based on kubuntu 6.06. following this: http://www.atworkonline.it/~bibe/ubuntu/custom-livecd.htm. i have reached the stage where i need to create the new squashfs filesystem
[01:43] <HeXiOn> anybody here uses "keytouch"?????? it doesn't work with XGL :(
[01:43] <DarthLappy> drew, That doesn't work.
[01:43] <magus_x> oh, but i mean, i can do calibratuin
[01:43] <magus_x> *calibration
[01:43] <asabil> DarthLappy, that won't update, it will reload the list
[01:43] <magus_x> those things
[01:43] <Abraxas_> ok, I'm 100% sure this is the "wrong place to ask" but I can't find a forum based around hardware help, and most of my problems are in Ubuntu... My system, as of yesterday, has suddenly flopped unstable across both OSes..>I'm pretty sure it's hardware but I'm not sure how to diagnose -what- hardware it is
[01:43] <mason> Ubuntu + Linksys WMP54GS = Need Help Please?
[01:43] <tapas> but in this step i get warnings from mksquashfs like: Error in reading symbolic link, skipping...: No such file or directory
[01:43] <drew> mason: ndiswrapper
[01:43] <DarthLappy> asabil, Oops, I read upgrade
[01:44] <tapas> are these warnings critical in any way?
[01:44] <drew> mason, I'd help you further, but I can't remember exactly what I had to do. I had the exact same card though.
[01:44] <mason> drew i have ndiswrapper installed, and the correct driver installed
[01:44] <mason> Thankyou
[01:44] <drew> mason: Did you update your kernel, modprobe properly, etc...?
[01:44] <asabil> Abraxas_, check your dmesg, as well as the cpu temperature
[01:44] <Abraxas_> 3d games in both OSes have been causing freezes and segfaults; I get random reboots in my other OS (win2k), and win2k is also seeing a new piece of hardware...when I've added nothing
[01:44] <drew> Ooh
[01:44] <Abraxas_> my computer stays a steady 21C
[01:44] <drew> mason: dmesg
[01:44] <asabil> Abraxas_, demsg can report dying disks
[01:45] <drew> You should get an error, some update required.
[01:45] <tapas> Abraxas_: i'd say power supply
[01:45] <Abraxas_> ok...asabil..what can I grep out of  dmesg?
[01:45] <drew> Damn I wish I could remember it, it's on the tip of my memory, it's an easy fix.
[01:45] <tapas> these fail more often than people realize
[01:45] <asabil> Abraxas_, better read it :D
[01:45] <Luke> I have a dell inspiron 5100 and cant get it on the internet with its Broadcom Corp. BCM4306 Wifi Card. Anyone have any tips?
[01:45] <mason> drew want to talk in seperate channel?
[01:45] <FatalCure> !broadcom
[01:45] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[01:45] <Abraxas_> tapas oh I believe it..i just want to diagnose that it's that before picking up a new one
[01:45] <drew> mason: name the channel
[01:46] <tapas> Abraxas_: diagnosing is easy: put in another one and see whether the problem persists
[01:46] <magus_x> the ubuntu kernel has the js_console command?
[01:46] <DarthLappy> asabil, Wait, what was updating meant to achieve?
[01:46] <mason> well, i just opened a private chat with you ? didnt i
[01:46] <tapas> same for ecey other piece of hw :)
[01:46] <Abraxas_> tapas: no free access to one ;)
[01:46] <asabil> DarthLappy, reload package lists
[01:46] <tapas> Abraxas_: it's always good to have a replacement power supply around anyways ;)
[01:46] <Abraxas_> tapas: ditto with 'other piece of hw'..and I'm poor...and could kinda use having a stable PC for my new job that will make me not poor
[01:46] <DarthLappy> asabil, And that would gelp how?
[01:46] <asabil> iirc (i am more of a gentoo guy than a debian one)
[01:46] <mason> No matter, What where you saying about dmsg ?
[01:46] <magus_x> the ubuntu kernel has the js_console command??
[01:47] <asabil> DarthLappy, reloading lists and signatures of packages
[01:47] <fibbes> hello
[01:47] <tapas> man, mksquashfs is sloooooooooooooooooooooow :)
[01:47] <asabil> that may help
[01:47] <DarthLappy> asabil, It doesn't seem to have.
[01:47] <fibbes> does any1 know how do i play xvid in ubuntu?
[01:47] <asabil> then remove the downloaded .deb package for libc
[01:48] <asabil> and refetch it
[01:48] <Abraxas_> Ok...my last firefox crash says: [17193950.812000]  Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address... could that imply anything?

[01:49] <CBMz> Hello
[01:49] <jonholio> Hi all, does anyone know of any firefox 2 beta 1 packages?
[01:49] <mrgud> where can i find some ACAD related program for ubuntu?
[01:49] <tapas> Abraxas_: cheap test: run memtest over night
[01:50] <fibbes> kris prv pls
[01:50] <tapas> Abraxas_: though if that fails, it might still be the power supply ;) as failing power supplies generate all other kind of weird problems which might look like other hw is failing
[01:50] <Abraxas_> grr..mouse just died....brb
[01:50] <mrgud> where to download AutoCAD like program for ubuntu (ppc)
[01:50] <Larsson-Sweden> How to dock applications in E16?
[01:51] <Abraxas_> Ok..joy joy on that... I tried to run a program to see if i could trigger a crash, and instead of crashing it killed my mouse
[01:51] <Werdna> hi guys
[01:51] <Werdna> anybody experienced with freenx?
[01:52] <Werdna> or any form of nx
[01:52] <magus_x> is there any way to run my psxpad on linux?
[01:52] <Abraxas_> can anyone suggest any diagnostic utilities to help me rule out any/all of my hardware, before I start buying "most likely" and hoping on it?
[01:53] <TheGateKeeper> Werdna: I have used www.cosmopod.net
[01:53] <tapas> Abraxas_: don't you have any friends? you could use their spare hw to rule out components
[01:53] <asabil> magus_x, have an adapter ?
[01:53] <Abraxas_> I see paging-failures in dmesg, but dont' know where to go from there
[01:53] <magus_x> yup, lpt1
[01:53] <asabil> Abraxas_, pagin failures?
[01:53] <Abraxas_> tapas: I don't have friends that keep spare hardware..most of my friends aren't computer geeks and gawk at me for putting my own system together (this is not a new system, over 3 years old)
[01:53] <asabil> Abraxas_, ram

[01:54] <ych> memtest
[01:54] <tapas> asabil: could be anything else though, too. as failing hw often shows as seemingly other hw failing
[01:54] <asabil> Abraxas_, yes, use the ubuntu livecd
[01:54] <asabil> there is memtest
[01:54] <drewzf> in grub
[01:54] <Abraxas_> aight, cool..that sounds like what I need
[01:54] <asabil> tapas, i agree, but it's something to check
[01:54] <tapas> asabil: right
[01:54] <Abraxas_> I do remember it there, now that you mention it
[01:54] <asabil> Abraxas_, select it at the boot time
[01:55] <tapas> cleaning the staircase while waiting for freaking mksquashfs.. bbiab
[01:55] <Abraxas_> alright...I'll grab one of my extra copies of dapper and give that a run...I'll be back if/when I have any more questions....It sucks, I can put a system together but I"ve never diagnosed hardware before
[01:55] <Bonez> a

[02:04] <CBMz> Hi
[02:04] <CBMz> I'm having problems installing Ubuntu Dapper 6.06
[02:05] <magus_x> whats your problem?
[02:05] <CBMz> I can't access my SATA2 hard disk. and only my CD Drives and filesystem of livecd show up.
[02:05] <dpupp> is WEP working in ubuntu?
[02:05] <dpupp> err. i mean dapper?
[02:05] <CBMz> Windows works fine on that computer
[02:06] <Tomcat_> dpupp: Yeah.
[02:06] <CyberSlug> I am having troubles with Wine, Internet Explorer, which I need for website development and a few particular web sites.
[02:06] <LesbianSeagull> CyberSlug: install winetools
[02:06] <CyberSlug> According to wine's appdb, 0.9.18 is meant to work perfectly, but it doesn't
[02:07] <dpupp> Tomcat_ do you know if there are any special notes? or does it work through GUI?
[02:07] <LesbianSeagull> CyberSlug: its easy to get ie working that way
[02:07] <CyberSlug> LesbianSeagull, I have tried.... All I get is a white screen
[02:07] <LesbianSeagull> hmm
[02:07] <tapas> CyberSlug: or boot windows in a qemu [if compiled with kqemu support it's actually kinda sorta usable once booted] 
[02:07] <Tomcat_> dpupp: GUI
[02:07] <Tomcat_> dpupp: Both Gnome, iwconfig and network-manager can do it.
[02:07] <LesbianSeagull> CyberSlug: or vmware
[02:07] <CBMz> Can anyone help me with my SATA2 problem?
[02:07] <Brymak> just joined...what is ubuntu please?
[02:07] <dpupp> ok thanks ^_^
[02:07] <CyberSlug> Lesbian, I have also tried ie4linux, sidewine, etc... And overriding the libraries
[02:07] <LesbianSeagull> hmm
[02:08] <CyberSlug> LesbianSeagull, Lol... I do not have a version of Windows :P... Nor do I want one.
[02:08] <Tomcat_> Brymak: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_(Linux_distribution)
[02:08] <LesbianSeagull> CyberSlug: what version you using?
[02:08] <CyberSlug> LesbianSeagull, I can get by without it - but it would be very nice :P
[02:08] <CyberSlug> LesbianSeagull, Of Wine, or Ubuntu?
[02:08] <tapas> CyberSlug: whwere you got internet explorer from then?
[02:08] <LesbianSeagull> CyberSlug: indeed, why dirty your install with windows ;)
[02:08] <LesbianSeagull> CyberSlug, ubuntu?
[02:09] <CyberSlug> LesbianSeagull, 6.10 .... Yes... I know. But still, it should work.
[02:09] <CyberSlug> tapas, From a CD
[02:09] <keithhhhh> Can someone tell me how to install ubuntu 6.06 with a live cd
[02:09] <CyberSlug> LesbianSeagull, And I have since upgraded wine to 0.9.19
[02:09] <CBMz> Sorry for asking again, can someone help me with my SATA2 problem?
[02:10] <LesbianSeagull> CyberSlug: any errors in the console from wine?
[02:10] <CyberSlug> CBMz, I would love to - but I do not know how :P - Sorry.
[02:10] <CyberSlug> Yes
[02:10] <lance_> keithhhhh, put the cd in, turn computer on.
[02:10] <CyberSlug> LesbianSeagull, I do not want to flood the channel.
[02:10] <CBMz> My problem is that ubuntu just won't recognize my SATA2 harddisk.
[02:10] <LesbianSeagull> CyberSlug: good old wine
[02:10] <LesbianSeagull> CyberSlug: you tried different versions of ie?
[02:11] <DarthLappy> I did something to libc after trying to manually install a newer version, which Ubuntu didn't seem to like. It now tells me to use apt-get -f install when I try and use apt-get. That doesn't work. How can I get rid of this problem?
[02:11] <CyberSlug> LesbianSeagull, Actually, no. But the problem lies, I think, in Wine trying to use its Gecko code.
[02:11] <LesbianSeagull> CyberSlug: im runnning 6 and it works ok, try that
[02:11] <CyberSlug> LesbianSeagull, When I override the libraries, I get a different error though :(
[02:11] <LesbianSeagull> CyberSlug: thats strange
[02:11] <CyberSlug> LesbianSeagull, I am trying 6 SP1
[02:12] <LesbianSeagull> CyberSlug: im running that and it works ok....
[02:12] <CyberSlug> LesbianSeagull, Do you want me to PM you the errors?
[02:12] <LesbianSeagull> CyberSlug: sure
[02:12] <kris> DarthLappy: installing another libc than the 1 which was used to compile the system is actually a bad idea
[02:12] <_mason> my wlan0 is showing up as eth1 can anyone help?
[02:12] <santa99> hello i have problems to integrate the captive-ntfs mount command into the fstab
[02:12] <Tomcat_> It's actually a thing that can break the system ;)
[02:13] <TheGateKeeper> DarthLappy: some possible options: http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=05/10/12/1952217
[02:13] <DarthLappy> kris, Yeah, I sorta figured that out *afterwards*
[02:13] <HeXiOn> hello
[02:13] <DarthLappy> Everything still works though
[02:13] <ych> anyone have a working tilt-wheel style mouse-wheel here?
[02:14] <HeXiOn> I need help... I have a program that launches when I start session and need to edit it. But I can't find where it is launched. It's not in /etc/rc.local, nor in gnome session managed, nor in .gnomerc....
[02:14] <fabio_BR> pessoal, alguem sabe remover o firefox que vem como padro no ubuntu 6.06 ?
[02:14] <HeXiOn> where can I look else?
[02:15] <fabio_BR> HeXiOn: System - Preferences - Session
[02:15] <HeXiOn> it's not there..
[02:16] <crayzee> Can someone help me get SANE working?
[02:16] <fabio_BR> how can I remove the firefox ? If I try to remove it from Synaptic its broke my Ubuntu
[02:16] <kris> DarthLappy: try to install the old version, its very likely that the new one broke locales and other stuff
[02:18] <DarthLappy> kris, How do I specify to install libc6-2.3.6-0?
[02:18] <magus_x> well
[02:18] <magus_x> i got my controller working
[02:18] <magus_x> buttttttt
[02:18] <magus_x> i got 2 controllers on the same connector
[02:19] <magus_x> but only the first one is working
[02:19] <kris> DarthLappy: download it from a repositry and install it via dpkg -i, but i'm not an expert, so do it on your own risk
[02:19] <magus_x> i used
[02:19] <_mason> My WMP54GS is showing up as eth1, how can i fix that
[02:19] <magus_x> sudo modprobe gamecon map=0,7,7,0,0,0
[02:19] <magus_x> thats right?
[02:22] <Werdna> hi guys. Anybody know what this might mean: NX> 105 /usr/lib/nx/nxserver: line 891:  7389 Terminated              ( sleep $AGENT_STARTUP_TIMEOUT; exit 1 )
[02:22] <LesbianSeagull> Werdna: it means NX sucks ;)
[02:22] <Werdna> LesbianSeagull, apart from that?
[02:23] <LesbianSeagull> dont know, sorry
[02:23] <PingunZ> hey, when I try to copy my ' make ' output I cant have the full output because the terminal is restricated to 230 lines, how can I change that ?
[02:24] <tapas> PingunZ: huh? usually the lines wrap around
[02:24] <Werdna> PingunZ, make > my/file
[02:24] <tapas> what terminal do you sue?
[02:24] <Werdna> nano my/file
[02:24] <tapas> s/sue/use/
[02:24] <PingunZ> I do ' make '
[02:24] <PingunZ> then it starts building
[02:24] <PingunZ> but the output is to big
[02:24] <PingunZ> --> when its done making I cant copy the WHOLE output :s
[02:25] <PingunZ> Werdna, what does the my/file do ?
[02:25] <Werdna> PingunZ, outputs it to that file
[02:25] <_mason> One of my wireless adapters is showing up as an eth device, how can i fix that?
[02:26] <Werdna> put any file you like there
[02:26] <PingunZ> oh
[02:26] <_mason> and eth device but the settings page is a basic wireless setup page
[02:26] <_mason> ?>
[02:26] <PingunZ> so make > lol.txt
[02:26] <chopper_> Hi guys every time i hit shift and backspace it restarts the x server how do i stop this?
[02:26] <_mason> chopper_ xgl :D ?
[02:27] <magus_x> nice, i got my controls working
[02:28] <magus_x> modprobe gamecon map=0,7,0,0,7,0 solved
[02:28] <chopper_> _mason: Yep hhe
[02:29] <chopper_> _mason: Its really annoying
[02:29] <mwe> _mason: that's normal for some drivers
[02:29] <mwe> _mason: again some drivers allow you to specify the device name
[02:30] <_mason> chopper_ chuck " xmodmap /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.us " in startup system / preferences / sessions / startup programs
[02:30] <_mason> Great, hes quite
[02:30] <_mason> 'quit
[02:30] <mboso> anyone in here running vmware 5.5.1 on x86_64?
[02:30] <_mason> mve you dont happen to by any chance know how to toubleshoot a WMP54GS pci wireless card?
[02:31] <chopper> _mason: see it just happened then lol
[02:31] <_mason> chopper_ chuck " xmodmap /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.us " in startup system / preferences / sessions / startup programs
[02:31] <_mason> chopper ^
[02:31] <chopper> _mason: Thanks
[02:32] <DarthLappy> kris, Thanks, that worked.
[02:32] <chopper> Also when i try and boot into xgl it shows a brown screen then kicks me back to gdm it seems no one has the answer for this either
[02:33] <_mason> so your running xgl through a 'thefuture' script ?
[02:35] <Werdna> anybody here experienced with NX?
[02:36] <DarthLappy> Werdna, I was going to earlier, but it's what broke.
[02:36] <Werdna> ath?
[02:36] <DarthLappy> Huh?
[02:36] <Werdna> DarthLappy, ?
[02:36] <Werdna> yyou sure you're talking to me?
[02:36] <DarthLappy> Wow.
[02:36] <DarthLappy> My eyes are broken.
[02:37] <DarthLappy> I read that as experimented...
[02:37] <triplc> Hello everybody.
[02:37] <DarthLappy> I give up for the night then.
[02:37] <drewzf> What is Ubuntu's replacement for freetype-devel?
[02:37] <Bonez56> triplc: hello
[02:37] <triplc> I've just install Ubuntu 6.0.6.1 Desktop.
[02:38] <triplc> On VmWare.
[02:38] <keithhhhh> Is it possible to install Ubuntu using a live cd??
[02:38] <triplc> It works just fine, but the XDMCP does not seems to work.
[02:39] <triplc> I configured the GDM using the GUI setting that comes with the system. I enable Remote Login with Plain Greeting.
[02:39] <ccc_> keithhhhh: yes, since 6.06
[02:39] <triplc> Then from the another machine, I run "Xnest -query 10.1.8.2 :2"
[02:40] <keithhhhh> ccc_: but how?   I ran the live cd (6.06) but it always freezes at 84%
[02:40] <triplc> Then the Gdm Login screen comes up in the Xnest, but very slow.
[02:40] <triplc> After I type in the username and password (seems slow), the greeting screen disapears
[02:40] <triplc> and Xnest become blank screen.
[02:40] <drewzf> Does anyone know what Ubuntu's replacement for freetype-devel is?
[02:40] <triplc> Same thing happens with "X -query ...."
[02:41] <triplc> Do any one can share howto solve the issue?
[02:41] <dpupp> so i did "chrontab -e" and added a few lines, however, no idea how to save. Can someone tell me where is the save option?
[02:42] <chopper> _mason: yes the future script but under a normal x session the effects work fine but i cant get into xgl at all
[02:42] <ccc_> keithhhhh: at 84% of what?
[02:42] <keithhhhh> ccc_: the installion
[02:43] <triplc> hello?
[02:43] <harm_> hi
[02:43] <harm_> anyone have a awsome guide for a less then novice linux user on how to setup a kinda NAS/PrintServer w. samba? (or any other way)
[02:43] <ccc_> keithhhhh: did you check the cd for defects at the boot menu?
[02:44] <keithhhhh> ccc_: actually I did....Im trying to install over 5.10
[02:44] <santa99> he guys i want to run some sudo lines at the startup what do i have to do
[02:44] <santa99> sudo ifconfig vmnet1 down
[02:44] <santa99> sudo ifconfig vmnet8 down
[02:44] <santa99> sudo mount -t captive-ntfs -o umask=000 /dev/hda5 /mnt/hda5
[02:44] <santa99> these are the lines i want to execute at the startup
[02:45] <harm_> santa99 i think u can add ur 3rd line to mount in fstab
[02:45] <harm_> sudo nanon /etc/fstab
[02:45] <santa99> harm_, thought so too
[02:46] <_mason> harm_ sudo nano /etc/fstab  ;)
[02:46] <santa99> harm_, but when i have added the following line: /dev/hda5       /mnt/hda5       captive-ntfs defaults,umask=000  0    0
[02:46] <harm_> what doesn wmnett1 down do?
[02:46] <_mason> and santa99
[02:46] <Rookie-> if you dont want your nic to go up, just remove the module for them
[02:46] <santa99> harm_, i hangs when it trys to mount it
[02:46] <_mason> startup = system > pref > sessions > startup
[02:46] <harm_> santa99 try chancing captive-ntfs to auto
[02:46] <dpupp> how do i save crontab -e ? .....
[02:47] <ccc_> keithhhhh: weird. you could easily just upgrade your 5.10 to 6.06 via apt though.
[02:47] <keithhhhh> seriously  :(
[02:47] <keithhhhh> damn
[02:47] <santa99> harm_, will it despite of auto take the captive-ntfs drivers to write to my ntfs partition
[02:47] <keithhhhh> I just started to use ubuntu when the new one was released
[02:47] <harm_> santa99 writing to ntsf can cause corruption.. corruption is iewy
[02:48] <keithhhhh> ccc_: I guess Im going to try again
[02:48] <chopper> _mason: any idea?
[02:48] <ccc_> keithhhhh: as described here: http://tinyurl.com/no3xh
[02:49] <ccc_> keithhhhh: ok, good luck :)
[02:49] <santa99> harm_, I'm aware of it but this captive-ntfs drivers are using the windows ntfs drivers to write on the disk
[02:49] <harm_> santa99 well its ur PC :D but check the captive-ntsf wiki for auto mounting?
[02:49] <dpupp> i think i found how to write the crontab, however, is this a proper location?  /tmp/crontab.m5GKhR/crontab
[02:49] <dpupp>  ?
[02:50] <ayeizajedi> hey eveyone, im trying to configure freecom usb tv adapter - when i make the config file for v4l-dvb it fails with errors... anyone got anyideas ??
[02:50] <santa99> harm_, can writing to the ntfs partition cause only problems with the certain partition or destroy my whole partitions
[02:51] <harm_> santa99 i can imagen the partition its writing to going corrupt so u could lose all data there
[02:51] <glen_> santa99: have you tried the ntfs-3g driver?
[02:51] <harm_> santa99 and i doubt it anything shittier than taht happening
[02:52] <shigutso> When I am installing VMWare-Player, it asks this question: "What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] "... and I can't get out of it... anyone can please help me?
[02:52] <santa99> glen_, no i haven't tried them before are the good ?
[02:53] <glen_> santa99: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009  i tried it and it works but haven't really written much to the ntfs pastition so can't say how reliable it is
[02:53] <glen_> santa99: it's an easy how-to
[02:53] <santa99> glen_, ok i will have a look for it
[02:56] <shigutso> When I am installing VMWare-Player, it asks this question: "What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] "... and I can't get out of it... anyone can please help me?
[02:57] <ag0ny> hi, can someone tell me how to make gnomebaker able to burn mp3s to an audiocd? i get the error message that a needed plugin could not be found.
[02:58] <harm_> anyone have a awsome guide for a less then novice linux user on how to setup a kinda NAS/PrintServer w. samba? (or any other way)
[02:58] <nilesh892003> hello friends,how to enable fonts in firefox,i have some wepages they requires their fonts i intalled them but how to enable support to that fonts with firefox to open them any body helps me
[02:58] <cge> Is anyone having a problem with libglib2.0-dev being outdated in dapper?
[02:59] <T`ch> i'm using a 32-bit firefox with on my amd64 ubuntu.. but the fonts look different from my 64bit version... some of the characters have some reddish color in between their lines, so its not very clear to read it (especially if its on white background)
[03:00] <T`ch> anyone know how i can fix this?
[03:00] <HeXiOn> is there a way to launch fullscreen games in XGL, apart of the nonxgl.sh script?
[03:04] <cr4sh3r> !XGL
[03:04] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[03:04] <Wermut> Anybody here using Epiphany as web browser? (I have a question regarding font configuration / custom style sheet)
[03:05] <cge> Wermut: I am.
[03:05] <T`ch> can someone tell me what they use in their firefox for "Default font" ?
[03:05] <T`ch> its in Edit -> preferences
[03:05] <T`ch> ->content
[03:05] <cge> T`ch: sans-serif, I believe.
[03:05] <dpupp> im adding this to the crontab exactly as shown: * * * * * ~/.gmail/gmail.pl > /dev/null (is this correct?)
[03:05] <T`ch> cge, size 16?
[03:05] <cr4sh3r> !fglrx
[03:05] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:06] <ucordes_> here you go cr4sh3r. you did everything as said in this guide?
[03:06] <cge> T`ch: Yes. Firefox happily ignores your other font settings. I've decreased the size to 12, if I recall.
[03:06] <cr4sh3r> yes but nothin is workin and i dunno what ti do know
[03:07] <Wermut> cge: Some web sites (e.g. Wikipedia) use some font which does not look good on my machine. I wonder If I have to edit the "custom style sheet" (see Epiphany preferences).
[03:07] <ucordes_> cr4sh3r: what das fglrxinfo give you?
[03:07] <Wermut> cge: The thing is I have no idea what to write in that file.
[03:07] <ucordes_> something like mesa?
[03:07] <cge> Wermut: I don't think so. You probably just need to change the font in the "advanced font settings".
[03:07] <T`ch> cge, but i think somehting weird is going on with 32-bit firefox and my 64bit fonts i guess?
[03:07] <cge> T`ch: no
[03:07] <T`ch> cge, i posted my problem aboe.. a page up or two
[03:07] <nko> hi... i have a problem with dapper and a Canon S200x printer
[03:08] <cr4sh3r> fglrxinfo gives back that it is using those mesa drivers
[03:08] <Wermut> cge: No, I have already set that to "Arial".
[03:08] <ucordes_> nko: did you try turbo print?
[03:08] <cge> Wermut: All 20 billion of them?
[03:08] <ucordes_> cr4sh3r: did you change your device to fglrx in xorg.conf?
[03:08] <nko> no generally i use cups... what is turbo print?
[03:09] <cr4sh3r> yes and i added it also in the /etc/modules
[03:09] <cge> Wermut: Let me look at wikipedia.
[03:09] <T`ch> cge, nothing happens on changing the font type.. but it reacts to change in size
[03:09] <Dracon> Is there a way to disable the loading of a built-in kernel module? I want to disable the airo driver from loading so I can use the ndiswrapper driver instead.
[03:09] <cge> T`ch: You must not be changing the right font then - what font are you changing?
[03:10] <ucordes_> anybody knows what cr4sh3r can do? fglrx won't work for him
[03:10] <zipper_> Argh, i'm going crazy over this. Finally got my wireless connection working (even with WEP), i reboot the machine, makes sure everything is working, and go to sleep. When i power on the machine once again, my wireless connection is _dead_. Can't even bring up the interface anymore, sigh
[03:10] <T`ch> Edit->Prefs->Content->Default Font
[03:10] <T`ch> cge, Edit->Prefs->Content->Default Font
[03:11] <T`ch> cge, i'm guessing the default font used by my 32-bit firefox is what looks realy bad.. but 64-bit might ber using the right one. lemme try chaing the font in 64bit..
[03:11] <ucordes_> it is a non-free set of drivers which also supports the canon . i didn't find any drivers for my pixma mp150 so i checked out turboprint. but since it prints advertisement on all your documents it is a piece of crap
[03:11] <magus_x> hy[
[03:11] <magus_x> hey
[03:11] <magus_x> my make command dont works
[03:11] <magus_x> magus@ubuntu:~/Desktop/hamachi-0.9.9.9-20-lnx$ sudo make install
[03:11] <magus_x> Password:
[03:11] <magus_x> sudo: make: command not found
[03:12] <DarthLappy> Heh, got build-essential?
[03:12] <Wermut> magus: Just apt-get build-essential
[03:12] <shekhar> hello can someone help me
[03:12] <shekhar> i have been trying to relocate my ~/.evolution/mail/local folder to a fat32 partition on my hard disk and am having problems with evo claiming it cannot get a lock file for the mboxes
[03:12] <cge> Wermut: Wikipedia appears to only be specifying that the font be sans-serif.
[03:14] <cr4sh3r> does anyone has got an answer for the fglrx driver porblem with the radeon 9800pro graphics adapter?
[03:14] <cr4sh3r> did everything like in the giudes but notihn worked
[03:15] <ag0ny> can someone tell me how to make gnomebaker able to burn mp3s to an audiocd? i get the error message that a needed plugin could not be found.
[03:15] <zipper_> shekhar, evolution maybe demands to be able to write to the file. Fat32 partitions are by default mounted as read-only
[03:15] <cr4sh3r> if noone can help me i have to smoke some weed and throw the pc out of the window ^^
[03:16] <shekhar> zipper_:  i can also write to my fat32 partition
[03:16] <zipper_> shekhar, sorry, cant help you then =/
[03:16] <Wermut> shekhar: Probably there is a problem with permissions. Why do you have to use a FAT32-partition?
[03:16] <shekhar> zipper_:  do i need to change permissions somewhere?
[03:16] <shekhar> Wermut:  because there are windows apps stored there
[03:16] <zipper_> cr4sh3r, seeing you have an ati card, i would say smoking weed and throwing out your pc probably is the better choice
[03:17] <adminx> what's the best way to write NTFS on Ubuntu?
[03:17] <cr4sh3r> lol ^^ just jiking...do u really got no idea how to solve my problem?
[03:17] <zipper_> shekhar, if you can already write to the partition, permissions should be fine
[03:17] <Wermut> shekhar: Do you have /home mounted on a fat partition?
[03:17] <shekhar> Wermut:  no
[03:17] <zipper_> cr4sh3r, i'm afraid i dont
[03:17] <fissy> in gedit
[03:18] <cr4sh3r> :D i understand
[03:18] <Wermut> shekhar: So why do you have the evo folder on that partition? Do you want to share your mail with windows?
[03:18] <zipper_> adminx, there is really no "best" way... they are all somewhat experimental
[03:18] <adminx> I know about Captive NTFS, but I think there is now a better way.
[03:19] <cr4sh3r> but its really dump...i used every giude from wiki ( ati/fglrx for example ) and ttried some selfmade giudes from the forum but i always get this fuckin mesa driver fault when i restart the system after installin the ati driver
[03:19] <asabil> adminx, ntfs3g
[03:19] <zipper_> cr4sh3r, have you tried using easyUbuntu for installing the ati driver? I havent myself, but everything else i installed with easyubuntu seems to work like a charm
[03:20] <adminx> Thanks I'll google it.
[03:20] <shekhar> Wermut:  i want to move my local mail folder there because my /home is only 6gb partition and i am running out of space
[03:20] <mwe> !ntfs-3g
[03:20] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is a linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution. Dapper installation instructions http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710
[03:20] <cr4sh3r> i tried some giudes from wiki or google etc but nothin works and i dunno what i didi wrong
[03:21] <shekhar> Wermut:  i did this in thunderbird easily before moving to evolution
[03:22] <cr4sh3r> zipper: im using ubuntu since 3 days and every giude from wiki was good but just the graphics adapter isnt working yet
[03:22] <Wermut> shekhar: The most ovious solution woul seem to resize the partition, wouldn't it?
[03:22] <shekhar> Wermut:  i have never done this with ubuntu and am frightened by it
[03:22] <adminx> Cool, I think I have enough to get started. Thanks
[03:22] <zipper_> i found out my soundcard is working though... after a lot of struggle with ndiswrapper and what not, i think it's working. Playback works, but there is no sound. If i plugin my headphones, i can hear the sounds, its there, although very very low. Needs to be amplified by factor 1000. The problem is, alsamixer and kmix are both set to max volume, and pressing my volumeUp button doesnt do a thing. Is there another way to turn up the volume?
[03:22] <shekhar> Wermut:  gparted?
[03:23] <TomaszD> hi, if I remaster the ubuntu desktop cd and then burn it on a dvd, will it still be bootable, or does it have to be a CD?
[03:23] <dpupp> how do i know if i changed my crontab without any problems?
[03:23] <mwe> dpupp: you're using the crontab command to edit it, right?
[03:23] <nny_> man i love this distro, but i hate this channel
[03:24] <mwe> nny_: then leave 
[03:24] <dpupp> mwe, i have no idea what im doing... im trying to follow some instructions i found and well.... im hitting a wall.
[03:24] <mwe> dpupp: if you use crontab -e it wont let you save it if the file contain errors
[03:24] <nny_> been in here 4 times, same problem, carefully worded, all ubuntu related, nothing but false positives
[03:24] <Wermut> shekhar: Actually it is very simple and safe. It only takes a few seconds. Boot up with the live cd and start gparted.
[03:24] <nny_> mwe what are you 12?
[03:24] <dpupp> mwe, the instructions say to put: "* * * * * ~/.gmail/gmail.pl > /dev/null" in the crontab file to make it run every minute.
[03:24] <zipper_> cr4sh3r, ah, i see. Not an easy task you've got yourself into, 3d accelleration has a tendency to become complicated in linux, especially with ati based cards. The 'easyUbuntu' i talked about before, is an application that helps you install dvd/mp3/whatever codecs, and it also supports installing nvidia/ati drivers. Google easyUbuntu for a guide on how to get it (very easy, 3-4 lines copy/paste)
[03:25] <DBAlex> hey
[03:25] <DBAlex> how do I display system info in linux?
[03:25] <DBAlex> like, the CPU ram etc
[03:25] <DBAlex> in the terminal
[03:25] <Wermut> shekhar: Unless the current goes off or during that short process it should work fine. However, makin backups is always adviceful (especially if you have important data).
[03:25] <nny_> DBAlex top
[03:25] <DBAlex> I forgot what speed my CPU is
[03:25] <DBAlex> ok
[03:25] <DBAlex> thanks
[03:25] <DBAlex> :D
[03:26] <nny_> DBAlex also cat /proc/cpuinfo
[03:26] <zipper_> DBAlex, you could also use 'cat /proc/cpuid' for cpu specific info
[03:26] <zipper_> damn, too slow
[03:26] <DBAlex> ok thanks :D
[03:26] <cr4sh3r> zipper: ok ill do that...thx for ure help. will u be in this channel for a while so i can ask u if i have any more probs?
[03:26] <DBAlex> Im installing windowmaker later
[03:26] <philipsmith> I want to change from Gnome to KDE. I'm running Dapper. How do I make that change easily?
[03:26] <DBAlex> Hopefully it will run ok
[03:26] <nny_> so.. anyone know why
[03:26] <mwe> philipsmith: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[03:26] <DBAlex> I had to reconfigure my xserver too... my card can only use 800x600 apparently
[03:26] <DBAlex> :(
[03:27] <nny_> 1.) i am sure i need binary nvidia, as i get black screen when tty ctrl alt or exiting X
[03:27] <mwe> philipsmith: do you want to keep gnome as well?
[03:27] <DBAlex> its a crappy compaq PCI card
[03:27] <zipper_> cr4sh3r, seeing how my wireless connection is in horribly dispair, i would count on being here, yeah. But ask the whole channel instead of me, many of the people inhere know more about linux/(k)ubuntu than me
[03:27] <nny_> so I have tried the binary installer, it fails (X can't load nvidia)
[03:27] <philipsmith> mwe: Thanks! It would be nice to keep Gnome.
[03:27] <nny_> tried removing ALL nvidia based packages
[03:27] <BazziR> !info joe
[03:27] <ubotu> joe: user friendly full screen text editor. In repository universe, is optional. Version 3.1-0.2 (dapper), package size 217 kB, installed size 696 kB
[03:27] <nny_> as stated int he ubuntu wioki here
[03:27] <doug> OMG my Ubuntu works
[03:27] <mwe> philipsmith: if you have enough free space it's not a problem
[03:27] <doug> this is incredible
[03:27] <nny_> http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Latest_Nvidia_Dapper
[03:27] <cr4sh3r> zipper: ok thanks a lot
[03:27] <dpupp> how do i know if i edited my crontab ok or if its working like it should?
[03:27] <nny_> and in this !nvidia
[03:27] <doug> hello all
[03:28] <nny_> !nvidia
[03:28] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:28] <nny_> nothing works
[03:28] <zipper_> cr4sh3r, np... and good luck
[03:28] <mwe> dpupp: I just told didn't I
[03:28] <DBAlex> hmm, what do you think of my specs: Pentium III Coppermine 733mhz, 128mb RAM, Compaq PCI graphics card, 6GB hard drive, LOL
[03:28] <dpupp> *scrolls up*
[03:28] <nny_> i can't even install a kernel with GD apt tryinig to install nvidia kernel common
[03:28] <DBAlex> Its a pc ive made out of scap
[03:28] <DBAlex> *scrap
[03:28] <philipsmith> mwe: Are you taking about a dual boot? I have a 250GB HD... probably enough space. How do I do both?
[03:28] <nny_> so again.. theres my issue
[03:28] <mwe> philipsmith: no
[03:28] <ddonky> how do i make my second hdd mount when i reboot?
[03:29] <mwe> philipsmith: just install kubuntu-desktop. the login manager will let you choose what you wanna use at each session
[03:29] <zipper_> nny_, are you following the guide on the wiki?
[03:29] <nny_> zipper_ sigh...
[03:29] <philipsmith> MWE: MANY THANKS!!! If you are ever in Duluth, GA... I owe you a Coke!
[03:29] <nny_> i have beeen trying, but nvidiakernelcommon will not stay away
[03:29] <zipper_> nny_, dont, i'll scroll up if you've already stated it
[03:29] <mwe> philipsmith: I think ubuntu-desktop (gnome) takes about 1GB of space or so
[03:29] <nny_> zipper_sorry frustrated
[03:30] <zipper_> understandable
[03:30] <Thunderous> !mount
[03:30] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted  -  Formatting partitions: see the manual page for mkfs ("man mkfs")  -  Mounting partitions in Gnome: System -> Administration -> Disks

[03:30] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:30] <ddonky> do i have to edit fstab?
[03:30] <zipper_> nny_, so what part of the guide are you at?
[03:30] <nny_> zipper_ no matter what i do aptitude instal llinux-686 brings back nvidia kernel common
[03:30] <dpupp> mwe, you said it wont let me save if it has errors. thanks. but, ... is it fine to have all asterics? that seems not specific to me. all asterics = run every minute? im not understanding.
[03:30] <Thunderous> yes ddonky, the bot has a link
[03:30] <vlt> Hello. I just installed flashplugin-nonfree from multiverse. When I open a Website with Konqueror it still asks me to download a flash plugin. How can I activate it?
[03:30] <nny_> zipper_ one sec, i'll elaborate
[03:31] <jrojas> hi, i need some help to uninstall xlg and compiz
[03:31] <Thunderous> !fstab > Thunderous
[03:31] <mwe> dpupp: You should specify something. I think it's every minute every day, yes. you don't want that
[03:32] <jrojas> well i made "apt-get remove xserver-xorg and ubuntu-desktop was uninstalled too :S
[03:32] <redblades> Hi, I have two harddrives, but I'm not sure if both are being used.
[03:32] <redblades> How do I check if hard drives are being used?
[03:33] <Thunderous> !fstab ddonky
[03:33] <ubotu> I know nothing about fstab ddonky - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[03:33] <jrojas> i'm afraid when i reboot lost my graphical interface
[03:33] <xapaho> hiya folks
[03:33] <Thunderous> !fstab > Thunderous
[03:33] <dpupp> so how would i change this:  "* * * * * " to equal 1 minute? ...
[03:33] <madm1ke> hey there, anyone aware of a tool/programm that shows SPD-Information and stuff? (or ram speeds)
[03:33] <nny_> zipper_ok yeah thgats how i originally had it working, but ctrl-alt-tty1-9 or whatever i can do to exit X returns black screen with no prompt, nothing, and I have to reboot to get it working again
[03:33] <nny_> zipper_read in numerous forums that this is a problem woith nvidia packages, and I need latest binary from nvidia
[03:33] <mwe> dpupp: you want to run something every minute?
[03:33] <redblades> jrojas... xserver-xorg... is the graphical side of things...
[03:34] <zipper_> nny_, ah, so you cant go from X -> Console?
[03:34] <dpupp> mwe, im trying to follow these instructions: http://conky.sourceforge.net/gmail.pl
[03:34] <ych> is there a way to set it up so that i can resume with all the windows open that were there before shutting down when i reboot?
[03:34] <zipper_> i have that problem myself
[03:34] <nny_> zipper_ so I have been trying desperately to install them, but the howto says to first remove the nvidia kernel common, etc
[03:34] <nny_> zipper_ NO
[03:34] <nny_> ER no
[03:34] <nny_> heh
[03:34] <DBAlex> hey, can someone help me with my xserver? I have 1024x768 enables in my xorg.conf but I can only display 800x600?
[03:34] <redblades> So, how can I check if a hard drive is being used?
[03:34] <DBAlex> does that mean my card doesnt support higher?
[03:34] <DBAlex> its a Compaq PCI card
[03:35] <DBAlex> I dont know how to get more info on it...
[03:35] <mwe> dpupp: it seems correct then
[03:35] <nny_> DBAlex hmm not likely
[03:35] <redblades> DBAlex, I'd say that's very unlikly
[03:35] <Thunderous> redblades, is it listed in /media?
[03:35] <zipper_> nny_, the binary drivers are _hell_. If you somehow can get the driver from the repositories to work, use it
[03:35] <DBAlex> ok
[03:35] <DBAlex> anyone know how to get 1024x768 on this then?
[03:35] <zipper_> nny_, but then again, i'm not 100% aware of your problem
[03:35] <DBAlex> Thanks for any help
[03:35] <DBAlex> I did reconfigure my xserver
[03:35] <DBAlex> and it said it was a matrox ?
[03:35] <nny_> zipper_ heh ok, (yeah i once spent a whole weekend ,as in no sleep, getting ATI to play with nice with slack
[03:35] <dpupp> mwe, do i have to reboot for the crontab to start working ?
[03:35] <mwe> dpupp: why don't you just sudo apt-get install conky?
[03:36] <nny_> zipper_ so whats another way to tackle the X --> console problem?
[03:36] <mwe> dpupp: and no
[03:36] <zipper_> DBAlex, using ubuntu? Under system -> preferences -> screen. There you can select resolution
[03:36] <dpupp> mwe, i have conky install and running.... but im trying to add a feature where it shows gmail in it.
[03:36] <DBAlex> i know
[03:36] <nny_> zipper_ i suspect the mode he wants isnt therwe
[03:36] <redblades> Thunderous, there is only three things in /media  - > usbdisk cdrom cdrom0
[03:36] <DBAlex> highest is a wierd resolution
[03:36] <xapaho> installing a sagem fast 800 (dsl modem, (u)eagle driver) on dapper, seems rather hazardeous according to the forums -- were there any progress yet ? please help !
[03:36] <DBAlex> like 833x864
[03:36] <DBAlex> or something
[03:36] <mwe> dpupp: oh. the page you pointed me to seems to be correct
[03:36] <nny_> DBAlex i have an ati 128 here ou can have ^^
[03:36] <DBAlex> PCI?
[03:36] <zipper_> nny_, good question. I have the same problem, never bothered to look for a solution
[03:37] <nny_> zipper_HA
[03:37] <DBAlex> I had to use this piece of crap cos my mobo doesnt have AGP
[03:37] <nny_> zipper_ well...
[03:37] <zipper_> nny_, but when installing the binary driver, what kind of error do you get?
[03:37] <DBAlex> I have loads of AGP cards :(
[03:37] <nny_> zipper_ may i PM you?
[03:37] <dpupp> hmm... i wonder what im doing wrong then... well thanks anyway mwe ^_^ i appreciate the help.
[03:37] <zipper_> nny_, sure
[03:37] <Thunderous> then its not mounted, isnt your primary hard drive listed or are you running from usbdisk redblades
[03:37] <DBAlex> how can I get more info on this card?
[03:37] <CLibra> Hi can I ask a question about Ubuntu and WiFi?
[03:37] <DBAlex> i found a command ages ago for listing PCI devices?
[03:38] <DBAlex> I forgot it now though... :/
[03:38] <mwe> dpupp: you did of course add your user name and password to the script, right?
[03:38] <zipper_> CLibra, you can try. If you're lucky, we wont hit you :)
[03:38] <CrazyDoode> lspci
[03:38] <xapaho> CLibra: "don't ask to ask, just ask" :)
[03:38] <DBAlex> ahh
[03:38] <DBAlex> thnx
[03:38] <mwe> dpupp: maybe you need to restart conky
[03:38] <zipper_> CLibra, in fact, please get wifi on the subject, having trouble with that stuff myself
[03:38] <DBAlex> 0000:01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA 1064SG [Mystique]  (rev 03)
[03:38] <DBAlex> ?
[03:38] <CLibra> Will it work with a WiFi PCI card? How will it connect? and how can I find the Mac Address (I have mac address filtering)
[03:38] <Abraxas_> Hi...I was here a little bit ago about hardware issues..I ran memtest86 and got 4 errors..I can't seem to figure what the acceptable threshold is for errors in memtest
[03:38] <DBAlex> and I enabled 1024x768 when i was reconfiguring the xserver :/
[03:39] <Thunderous> redblades, u could 'df -h' to see if it is there
[03:39] <erUSUL> !wifi > CLibra
[03:39] <bartek> hello
[03:39] <Thunderous> !automount > Thunderous
[03:39] <ubotu> I know nothing about automount  - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[03:39] <CLibra> Thanks
[03:39] <erUSUL> CLibra: you can view the mac adrees with ifconfig or iwconfig
[03:39] <CLibra> what?
[03:39] <fyrestrtr> Abraxas_: its 0
[03:40] <CLibra> what's ifconfig?
[03:40] <bartek> I've unix timestamp with additional digits in format xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxxx - any idea what for is the dot and these extra digits?
[03:40] <DBAlex> brb
[03:40] <erUSUL> CLibra: my pci ralink2500 card works great even with WPA is a conceptronic chepo card
[03:40] <DBAlex> reconfiguring xsercer
[03:40] <DBAlex> *server
[03:40] <Abraxas_> fyrestrtr so having received 4 errors, what's the possibility that my problem is in the RAM? I have system instability and games tend to segfault on both OSes (something they've never done before)
[03:40] <xapaho> anyone can help with Sagem Fast 800 on Dapper ?
[03:40] <CLibra> Bye
[03:41] <fyrestrtr> I'd say your probability is very high that its ram
[03:41] <erUSUL> !eagle
[03:41] <ubotu> I know nothing about eagle - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[03:41] <zipper_> nny_, argh, i'm not registered, so i cant query you back. But good luck, always nice when it solves itself :). I have a geforce 7900gt btw.
[03:41] <dpupp> mwe, yeah i added that. and i restarted conky. its spitting out errors about files not existing... so im assuming i have to create those blank files? ...
[03:41] <Abraxas_> fyrestrtr Thanks muchly...Now at least I have something to run from...I was about to replace my PSU again (last time my problem really was the PSU, i'll admit)
[03:41] <mwe> dpupp: what files?
[03:41] <zipper_> Abraxas_, i would accept 0 errors
[03:41] <dpupp> cat .gmail_top no such file or directory.
[03:42] <Abraxas_> it makes sense....I do have two old sticks of cheap ram, so it really does make sense
[03:42] <zipper_> anything else, and you've overclocked your setup too much/it's getting too hot
[03:42] <dpupp> mwe, cat .gmail_top no such file or directory.
[03:42] <^NaTacHa^> hello is there and ftp client for ubuntu, that support PRET ?
[03:42] <mwe> dpupp: where did you putt the script?
[03:42] <Abraxas_> zipper_ I'm on such cheap stuff, I haven't dreamed of touching clock settings on anything but my graphics card, and that only a couple percent
[03:42] <zipper_> Abraxas_, well, you could use them, but i wouldn't be expecting any form of stability
[03:42] <erUSUL> xapaho: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsbAdslModem/EagleUsb
[03:42] <mwe> dpupp: where did you put the script?
[03:43] <intuosman> hi, anyone knows why easyubuntu isn't working today?
[03:43] <intuosman> is automatix already safe to use?
[03:43] <Abraxas_> right now, my system goes 'boom' if i play a game for 5 minutes.... and windows goes boom all the time (ok, that's windows and the usual, but still)
[03:43] <erUSUL> !easyubuntu
[03:43] <ubotu> EasyUbuntu is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. See http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ ; for help and or discussions about EasyUbuntu please join #easyubuntu.
[03:43] <Abraxas_> so i gues I need new ram :)
[03:43] <zipper_> nny_, why would using restricted drivers for your wifi card be a bad thing? Please speak in the channel again, annoying when i cant answer you back in query
[03:43] <dpupp> i put the script in my home folder under /.gmail/gmail.pl
[03:43] <dpupp> mwe ^
[03:43] <mwe> intuosman: no. it works for most people. that doesn't mean it's safe though
[03:44] <pequatre> hello i have a problem with k3b under gnome. If i start k3b nothing happens (even in cmd line) but if i reboot k3b shows up and i can burn...where's the problem ?
[03:44] <nny_> zipper_ u see my pm?
[03:44] <mwe> dpupp: good
[03:44] <cr4sh3r> zipper: when i try to install easyubuntu it tells me after doin 'sudo apt-get install subversion' --> thiy works, and then 'cd ; svn checkout svn://freecontrib.org/easyubuntu' its "Cannot connect to host 'freecontrib.org' : Connection timed out
[03:44] <zipper_> Abraxas_, good thing you ran memtest, now you know whats causing the instability
[03:44] <nny_> zipper_oh sorry
[03:44] <mwe> dpupp: try touch ~/.gmail/.gmail_top
[03:44] <nny_> zipper_ i have an intel integrated wireless card
[03:44] <whoppix> hey all :) ubuntu takes automatically care about the hotkeys on my multimedia keyboard (ps2) but i would like to change the behaviour of some buttons, does someone know how or where to do that? thx for help in advance :)
[03:44] <Abraxas_> zipper_: but it says all over memtest's docs that memory errors aren't necessarily ram's fault....I'm afraid it might be my cheap@#$ motherboard as well...
[03:44] <dpupp> mwe, in a terminal? .
[03:44] <mwe> dpupp: right
[03:45] <xapaho> erUSUL: txs I'll have another go from this other tuto :) cheers
[03:45] <Abraxas_> course, the ram survived through a motherboard short a year ago, so it seems the most likely part to fail now
[03:45] <erUSUL> xapaho: no problem
[03:45] <zipper_> Abraxas_, ofcourse, could be that one as well. Best thing would be to try swapping ram/other hardware to locate the problem
[03:45] <zipper_> nny_, yes?
[03:45] <nny_> zipper_ (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)
[03:45] <Abraxas_> zipper_: sadly swapping costs me money because I don't have backup hardware or friends with backup hardware
[03:45] <dpupp> mwe, ok, i hit enter and im back at a prompt...
[03:45] <nny_> zipper_ after running binary installer
[03:45] <mwe> dpupp: good
[03:45] <zipper_> nny_, try 'modprobe nvidia'
[03:46] <mwe> dpupp: that means it worked
[03:46] <nny_> zipper_ that worked
[03:46] <mwe> dpupp: you running conky as normal user, right? not with sudo
[03:46] <dpupp> odd. yeah normal user.
[03:46] <mwe> good
[03:46] <zipper_> Abraxas_, i meant swapping with a friends, but hmm... Well, by experience, it's usually the rams, but it's hard to say if you dont have the ability to try out other hardware instead of the stuff you're using now
[03:47] <dpupp> i did add crontab info as root as well because i didnt know what i was doing.
[03:47] <zipper_> nny_, :)
[03:47] <mwe> dpupp: don't
[03:47] <nny_> zipper_ well it modprobed, but no X
[03:47] <zipper_> you still get the same error from x?
[03:47] <mwe> dpupp: sudo crontab -e and remove it for root
[03:47] <dpupp> ok
[03:47] <nny_> zipper_ yeah
[03:47] <Abraxas_> zipper_: I'll just have to dig around and see if i can get some ram...I do have an idea where I could I guess..that should help, if the ram i get is enough t orun a game...and thanks again to everyone who helped...i was on the border of just tossin it out the window and starting again from scratch
[03:48] <zipper_> nny_, hmm
[03:48] <nny_> zipper_ been having this issue now round robin, X says it can't load nvidia
[03:48] <dpupp> mwe, there is nothing listed in there. odd. i could have sworn i added it.
[03:48] <nny_> zipper_ nv works, as well as previos packages, but i'd like to fix this black screen issue
[03:49] <dpupp> mwe , "no crontab for root - using an empty one
[03:49] <dpupp> "
[03:49] <zipper_> nny_, you could always try to reboot the system in order to get the nvidia module loaded properly, but i don't think it'll help much. I'm out of ideas, really
[03:49] <zipper_> oooh
[03:49] <zipper_> nny_, you were using the nv driver before? You havent tried the nvidia driver from the repositories?
[03:49] <redblades> Thunderous, I
[03:49] <nny_> zipper_ no using repo driver
[03:49] <redblades> Thunderous, I checked, and it appears only one hard drive is mounted...
[03:50] <redblades> So, how would I go about mounting the other?
[03:50] <nny_> zipper_  thats where i had the black screen issue, doen't exist with nv
[03:50] <redblades> I wish to use it as free space.
[03:50] <zipper_> nny_, you should try getting the driver from the repositories instead, much easier than compiling the binary drivers
[03:50] <Abraxas_> Hmmmm... are hardware beep-codes standard or different per manufacturer?
[03:50] <zipper_> nny_, ah okay =/
[03:50] <zipper_> nny_, misunderstood you
[03:50] <nny_> zipper_ ok i am gonna get that working again, but i'd liek to get rid of the balck screen issue
[03:50] <zipper_> well, it's not such a horrible problem
[03:51] <zipper_> i seldom quit x anyway when it's working
[03:51] <mwe> dpupp: then you didn't add it for root
[03:51] <nny_> zipper_ sigh.. yeah me neither... but it is still a problem.. ok i am gonna give upo for now... i miss my XGL, and i am gonna try to do multi screen XGL
[03:51] <phuzz> if i install fluxbox with it add it to my session choices in my gdm?
[03:51] <mwe> dpupp: what makes you think you added it for root?
[03:52] <Abraxas_> does anyone know if hardware beep codes are stnadard or not?
[03:52] <erUSUL> Abraxas_: most are
[03:52] <mwe> phuzz: if you install fluxbox it will available in gdm
[03:52] <zipper_> nny_, xgl is nice yes. Still, i dont think it's worth the trouble of installing it atm, got it working once, but took me a few hours. I'll wait till it's easier to install
[03:52] <dpupp> mwe, because i did sudo crontab -e when adding it after i saw it didnt work for normal user... but its listed as normal user.
[03:52] <mwe> dpupp: odd
[03:53] <nny_> zipper_heh i last did it in twenty minutes
[03:53] <erUSUL> Abraxas_: 3 short beeps are RAM problems iirc
[03:53] <nny_> zipper_ i can help you if you ever want
[03:53] <zipper_> nny_, and not to mention the stability
[03:53] <Abraxas_> alright...about 1/10 the time on reboot, I get a set of beep codes..so maybe I should..I dunno...actually LISTEN to them next time they happen
[03:53] <nny_> zipper_hmm my setup has been 100 stable
[03:53] <Abraxas_> when ti happens, it's a series of long beeps
[03:53] <zipper_> nny_, it's easy when you know what to do :)... think i could do it faster today as well, but still, not worth the time imho.
[03:53] <Abraxas_> and I never paid attention to how many....it might be indefinite, but I'd doubt it
[03:53] <xapaho> erUSUL: at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsbAdslModem/EagleUsb,  "Connecting" step,  sudo eaglectrl -d returns "Unkown option on line 27 ... 32", any clue ?
[03:53] <nny_> zipper_ i understand
[03:53] <dpupp> mwe, m looking at a crontab tutorial "01 * * * * " would that equal 1 minute? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=102625&highlight=crontab
[03:53] <zipper_> kde looks nice enough for me :)
[03:54] <DrBashir> anyone seen Jack Sparrow of late?
[03:54] <mwe> dpupp: no
[03:54] <erUSUL> xapaho: no sorry i used a speedtouch usb modem that is similar but not the same :(
[03:54] <phuzz> mwe: thanks!
[03:54] <mwe> dpupp: that means 1 minute past every hour
[03:54] <philipsmith> I am switching to KDE from Gnome. Under Gnome, I had compiled the kernel. Do I need to do this again under KDE?
[03:54] <xapaho> erUSUL: thanks anyway ;(
[03:54] <ucordes_> how do i remove cedega? in #cedega they won't help
[03:55] <dpupp> *confused* so asterics represent every time of every minute of every hour of every day of every year? ......
[03:55] <Crooper> phillipsmith you don't have to recompile to use KDE
[03:55] <zipper_> lol
[03:55] <philipsmith> Crooper: MANY THANKS!
[03:55] <Crooper> yw
[03:56] <dpupp> i remember i had this same issue when breezy was released... i could never understand the crontab and i ended up giving up on mail notification.
[03:56] <Abraxas_> I think i'm going to replicate my hardware beeps to see if i can figure out what the series is..i'll be back later..and thanks again everyone for the help
[03:57] <dpupp> lemme ask a better question: is there anyway to be notified of new main in Gmail in linux? ....

[04:16] <DrBashir> im installing windows XP from within vmware. It seems the timing is fast, the installation animation goes faster then normal. Is this expected behavior?
[04:16] <tim1> hello everyone, i have a serious problem with my ubuntu install, i can't login anymore
[04:16] <Crazed> does some one here knows a good tool to split mp3 files with a cue file ?
[04:17] <DrBashir> The installation itself seems faster than normal too (which is a nice thing actually)
[04:17] <tim1> it just keeps going back to the login screen
[04:17] <mwe> DrBashir: I think timing issues will be fixed when you install vmware tools
[04:17] <keithhhhh> can someone tell me how to mount my partition

[04:19] <tim1> When I try to login I keep going back to the login screen, anybody an idea?
[04:20] <irvin> tim1, you sure you're using a valid user name and password?
[04:20] <vikash> my system is not behaving properly
[04:20] <kennethlove> stupid things first. you're sure you're typing the correct username and password and that caps lock isn't on?
[04:20] <vikash> screen lock is not working
[04:20] <Crazed> Does some one know a good CUE Splitter for linux ?
[04:20] <tim1> irvin: yes, and if it were wrong, gdm would tell me
[04:20] <vikash> sometimes firefox automatically closes
[04:20] <vikash> after upgradation
[04:21] <Paddy_EIRE> thats normal <vikash>
[04:21] <irvin> tim1, can you kill gdm and login to the console instead?
[04:21] <cge> tim1: Make sure you don't have a tab in your password :)
 why
before updation it never showed nay error
[04:21] <tim1> Crazed: http://mp3splt.sourceforge.net/mp3splt_page/home.php
[04:21] <Crooper> Paddy i think i cd into libdvdcss and typed ./configure --prefix=/usr; make; sudo make install
hello
 it needs to restart the program in order to initialise the changes all os do this i thinkl
[04:22] <Crazed> ok thx tim1  ill try that one ..
[04:22] <vikash> i have already done that many times<Paddy_EIRE>
[04:22] <tim1> irvin, cge: my username/pass is 100% right, the problem is somewhere after the login manager, both gdm and kdm fail
 oh urs still stops even when not upgrading
[04:22] <cge> tim1: Hmm...
[04:22] <tim1> and to top all this, i cannot switch to a console...
[04:23] <cge> tim1: Why not?
[04:23] <kennethlove> ctrl
[04:23] <tim1> it says my monitor is out of sync
 could you name the compiler you used to build libdvdcss from source
[04:23] <vikash> before upgradation it never showed an error<Paddy_EIRE>
[04:23] <kennethlove> er. ctrl + alt + a number?
[04:23] <vikash> noe preferred applicatin is not opening<Paddy_EIRE>
[04:23] <tim1> yes
 did u try uninstalling and reinstalling
[04:23] <cge> tim1: Oh. Well, that might be a framebuffer problem in addition to the login problem.
[04:24] <Crooper> g++
which one
[04:24] <Crooper> i think
[04:24] <mikolan> I'm getting this error when trying to mount a truecrypt volume: "device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument". Any suggestions?
[04:24] <cge> tim1: Have you tried changing to a different session, like the failsafe xterm?
 im a little lost let me read over ur posts
[04:24] <DrBashir> mwe, I couldn't get vmware tools installed properly, does it really need to be installed before DX9?
ok
[04:25] <tim1> cge: i tried all sessions available
[04:25] <cge> tim1: oh dear.

[04:25] <cge> tim1: You can't really do anything if you can't log in with gdm and you can't get to a terminal.
 could u name a c compiler for ubuntu dapper so i can do sudo apt-get install
[04:25] <fyrestrtr> !b-e > Paddy_EIRE

[04:26] <tim1> tim1: I never used k3b at all
got it or not
[04:27] <zipper__> YES! Got my wireless running with WEP again :D
[04:27] <smacky_wolf> Quick question. As an idiot, I set up mySQL on my machine. I then changed the acces to @*myname* instead of @localhost. Now I can't login. parsing mysql --user=smackywolf@chakat does nothing... anyone got any ideas?
[04:27] <zipper__> finally
[04:27] <cge> erUSUL: That would result in the session dying, and GDM would recognise that.
[04:27] <DrBashir> congrats zipper_  :))
[04:27] <cge> tim1: You'll have to restart, and do something to get a terminal.
[04:27] <tim1> cge: and then?
[04:27] <cge> tim1: Do you have a vga= on your modeline?
[04:27] <kennethlove> smacky_wolf: remove mysql and reinstall?
 is this only after first install then upgrade
[04:27] <vikash> after upgrade
[04:27] <cge> tim1: Look at ~/.xsession-errors
[04:27] <smacky_wolf> kenneth:possibly? Doesn't it keep the config files, though?
[04:27] <vikash> 180 mb

[04:28] <erUSUL> tim1: boot in recovery mode and take a look at the logs ( /var/log/messages /var/log/syslog )
[04:28] <kennethlove> smacky_wolf: use synaptic and do a 'force remove'. that'll delete the configs too
[04:28] <Paddy_EIRE> Does anyone know how to display a list of recent upgrades on ur system
[04:28] <smacky_wolf> Cool. Thanks hon <3
[04:28] <gnomefreak> Paddy_EIRE: c compilier = build-essential  it bring in everything you will need

[04:29] <eugman> And I mean move it directly.
[04:29] <gnomefreak> didnt see it

[04:32] <Ambimom> gnomefreak:  is one better than the other?

[04:32] <eugman> yand yes i read ubotu, thanks
means
[04:32] <cge> Ambimom: That is like asking whether one religion is better than another.
[04:32] <gnomefreak> Ambimom: no its up to what you like more
[04:32] <Ambimom> I'm still too new to gnome...still learning
[04:32] <Dr_Willis> Ambimom,  i tend to install Ubuntu, then i install the Kubuntu-desktop
[04:32] <gnomefreak> vikash: it means its a known bug and they are working on fixing it
[04:33] <Dr_Willis> Ambimom,  that way i can use both.
ok then
 thanx man
[04:33] <gnomefreak> vikash: yw
[04:33] <Ambimom> I saw you could do that, but then people say installing kubuntu desktop can cause problems
 do u have ever face same problem
[04:33] <cge> Ambimom: I've never had it cause problems besides bloat.
[04:33] <gnomefreak> vikash: nope i havent
 when i click on lock screen icon nothing happens
[04:34] <Ambimom> ahhh..good to know cge, because my linux only has 20 gig
[04:34] <Dr_Willis> Ambimom,  i dont see how it can cause any problems.
[04:34] <Batum> Hello people
[04:34] <Batum> Have a question
[04:34] <gnomefreak> vikash: i understand. it is a known problem and i dont have a work around handy
[04:34] <cge> Ambimom: I only have 12GB here, excluding my separate home partition.
 ok thank you
[04:34] <Ambimom> well, I have a persistent problem dr. willis...my default sound card keeps switching on bootup
[04:34] <Crooper> vikash have you tried setting screensaver thru xset?
[04:34] <Batum> where can I set my root password in kubuntu?
[04:34] <Dr_Willis> Ambimom,  take a hammer to the other one. :P
[04:34] <Batum> and how?
[04:35] <vikash> sudo update-alternatives --config java no
[04:35] <gnomefreak> yw vikash
[04:35] <Ambimom> :D
[04:35] <kennethlove> Batum: you don't need a root password. :)
[04:35] <mson> hello all - I'm having trouble getting a Logitech mx900 bluetooth mouse working.  The hub seems to work (the computer shows up on a bluetooth phone) but no mouse!
[04:35] <Batum> why? :)
 no
[04:35] <tim1> cge: the .xsession-errors is empty
[04:35] <cge> Batum: What were you planning on using the root password for?
 how to do that
[04:35] <Batum> you mean i should use sudo?
[04:35] <cge> tim1: Oh.
[04:35] <kennethlove> sudo works great
[04:35] <kennethlove> and it's a lot safer
[04:35] <cge> tim1: Are you running edgy?
[04:35] <tim1> yes
[04:35] <goonies> where can i find the gset-compiz package?
[04:35] <zipper__> mson, have you added/edited your xorg.conf to indicate you are using a bluetooth mouse?
[04:36] <Crooper> try xset -s 1 and see what happens
[04:36] <mson> zipper__: ah, no, I haven't.  What's the modification needed?  I guess I assumed it would be auto-detected
[04:36] <Batum> ok, for example I don't want user to be able to do administration tasks
[04:36] <cge> Batum: Be sure to read the man page for sudo. sudo -s and sudo -i do the same thing as su essentially.
 how can i do that
[04:36] <gnomefreak> tim1: join #uubntu+1 for edgy
 xset
[04:36] <kennethlove> Batum: then make sure they're not in the sudoers group. i think that's all that you have to worry about. but read those pages to be sure
[04:36] <Batum> cge after I install kubuntu sudo -i asks for pass
[04:36] <Dr_Willis> Batum,  theres limts on what users can do stuff with sudo.
[04:36] <gnomefreak> vikash: how can you do what?
[04:36] <vikash> xset<gnomefreak>
[04:37] <vikash> to fix screen saver<gnomefreak>
[04:37] <Dr_Willis> Batum,  its the first users password.
[04:37] <cge> tim1: I'll be in ubuntu+1 if you want to go there, even though there usually aren't to many people to help there.
[04:37] <gnomefreak> vikash: in the menu i think its system>prefferences>screensaver
[04:37] <gnomefreak> cge: im always there ;)
 its working i can select any one
 but after fixed time it is not working
[04:37] <zipper__> mson, i dont know exactly what you need to do, but i know theres a variable in /etc/X11/xorg.conf that decides where the mouse device is located. Usually it's set for /dev/mice or /dev/psaux, i would think you could edit that line to whereever your bluetooth mouse is (/dev/bluetooth? Dunno, never worked with bluetooth in linux)
[04:37] <Batum> Hm, it's a bit strange not to use root  for me, but ok, thx
[04:37] <munsa> Howdy! how is everyone today?
[04:38] <cge> tim1: Yes, you probably should join #ubuntu+1
[04:38] <mson> zipper__ : cheers, I'll give it a shot ;-)
[04:38] <eugman> Couldn't mount device '/dev/sda1': Operation not supported
[04:38] <eugman> Windows did not shut down properly.  Try to mount volume in windows, shut down and try again.
[04:38] <eugman> Mount failed.
[04:38] <munsa> I like Sudo much better than root
[04:38] <eugman> Does that mean fuse isn't going to work for this drive?
[04:38] <Batum> ok, than there is another question :)
[04:38] <zipper__> mson, np. But it's only a guess, try searching the ubuntu wiki for bluetooth articles
[04:38] <zipper__> if it doesnt work
[04:39] <Batum> is it possible to have one locale for the whole sysytem(my  country locale) but messages still in english?
[04:39] <irvin> eugman, do you want to beta test ntfs-3g?
[04:39] <eugman> irvin, how unstable is it?
[04:39] <zipper__> mson, please tell if it works out well
[04:40] <munsa> hey I h ave some problems with Mplayer, It keeps telling me "FATAL: Could not initalize video filters (-vf) or video output (-vo)  Any ideas?
[04:40] <mson> will do, but have to go - this is actually my friend's computer, and he's kicking me out of the house ;-)  Thanks a lot though
[04:40] <munsa> I think I messed with some settings in Mplayer
[04:40] <munsa> hehe
[04:40] <zipper__> mson, ah ok. Np.
[04:40] <irvin> eugman, it's still on beta but it works :)
[04:40] <munsa> tinkering around
[04:40] <munsa> but I cant figure out what I did wrong
[04:40] <Aneglus> hi people
[04:40] <irvin> eugman, http://tiber.tauware.de/~zakame/ntfs-3g/dapper/
[04:40] <zipper__> munsa, You could always change the video/audio output, if you accidently changed it to something else that doesnt work.
[04:41] <eugman> Yes, if there is a preponderance of working then I'd like to try it.
[04:41] <Batum> so does anybody have any ideas about locales?
[04:41] <mson> zipper__: i will add that I'm quite impressed with these forums - lots of good quality help.  Great resource.  Thanks a lot!
[04:41] <zipper__> munsa, i even think it's in the gui, but if not, man mplayer
[04:41] <irvin> eugman, good luck :)
[04:41] <whaley> general networking question for gaming:  If i'm on a wireless network, will using wpa encrypting cause packet loss in games to be higher than normal?
[04:41] <Thunderous> munsa, if its something u have done, you could remove .mplayer from your home dir and have a fresh copy
[04:41] <munsa> zipper_ how do I change it? I think I was playing around and messed something up.  I used Mplayer from CL but GMplayer dosent work eather its some sort of codev problem
[04:42] <munsa> I suppose, But I think it is just some sort of setting I messed up
[04:42] <Thunderous> munsa, then delete .mplayer from ur home dir
[04:42] <munsa> Anyone know a good Chess Program ?
[04:42] <tactless> Is Opera causing X to hang for anyone else? (That is, no mouse, no keyboard, no VTs unless released by Alt+SysRq+R)
[04:42] <zipper__> munsa, i *think* it's -vo x11 for example. Like : mplayer -vo x11 video.avi. Try writing mplayer -vo for options
[04:42] <Batum> munsa gnuchess :)
[04:42] <Batum> is the best
[04:43] <noona> hey
[04:43] <Batum> just find frontend for it that you'll like
[04:43] <noona> i need help
[04:43] <zipper__> munsa, but as i said before, i even think you can edit it from the gui, but i'm not sure where
[04:43] <noona> where can i get it here?
[04:43] <malefactor> Is NTFS only supported in read-only mode in Ubuntu?
[04:43] <munsa> yea
[04:43] <munsa> ok
[04:43] <Batum> noona what kind of help?
[04:43] <zipper__> malefactor, well, you CAN get ntfs write support, but as always, it's still somewhat experimental
[04:43] <noona> well, both on both windows and linux involved
[04:43] <noona> both windows*
[04:44] <munsa> if I sudo apt-get install mplayer will it overwrite the one I have there now? Or should I remove it firsT?
[04:44] <Batum> just ask a question, may be somebody will be able to help you
[04:44] <zipper__> malefactor, and probably always will be, since ntfs is a closed filesystem
[04:44] <josh__> ok... anyone have a nvidia 6600 gt graphics card?
[04:44] <malefactor> zipper_, so, basically, read-only? crap...
[04:44] <zipper__> josh__, close to it, 7900gt, why do you ask?
[04:44] <TheGateKeeper> munsa: I would remove it first personally
[04:44] <munsa> Whats the command for delete?
[04:44] <munsa> remove
[04:44] <Thunderous> munsa, all you have to do is open a console and type 'rm .mplayer' and u will have a default fresh copy next time you start it
[04:44] <zerotime> is there anyway to point xgl session to gnome rather than kde?
[04:45] <noona> ok, i wanted to install ubuntu, i used norton magicparition in order to make partition for the new OS from windows
[04:45] <TheGateKeeper> munsa: correct
[04:45] <zerotime> my initial configuration points to kde, but Id like to try it in gnome
[04:45] <nko> how can i download qvamps.deb for dapper?
[04:45] <noona> it has this feature of partioning for a  new os from the existing os
[04:45] <Batum> noona and...?
[04:45] <josh__> because i put the 6600 in this morning and my gdm got disabled by the system... so i had to switch back to my 64m ati card... which sucks alot...
[04:45] <zipper__> malefactor, no. You CAN get ntfs support, but it doesnt come without risk. I've used it a little with no problems, but you shouldn't use it for production servers, or store any data you care too much about on the ntfs drive you're using in linux
[04:45] <munsa> says ... Mplayer is a directory.
[04:45] <zipper__> josh__, so you had an ati card before plugging in your nvidia card?
[04:45] <noona> and.. it gave me the option for creating the root partition and swap
[04:46] <josh__> im wondering if it is compatible... and if it is... what "drivers" should i download
[04:46] <munsa> sudo rm .mplayer no?
[04:46] <josh__> yeah
[04:46] <noona> then it demanded a reboot for the changes to be applied
[04:46] <Thunderous> do it in the gui, open Nautilus make sure u can see hidden files then right click delete .mplayer munsa
[04:46] <noona> it took 14 operations to do, while rebooting
[04:46] <noona> when it finished, it said can't load an OS
[04:46] <zipper__> josh__, thats the reason. Ati uses sucky drivers, nvidia uses less-sucky, but still not that good, drivers. They are different. Hang on a minute, and i'll find a link for a good guide on how to install the nvidia driver
[04:46] <zipper__> !nvidia > josh__
[04:46] <josh__> im assuming that is why the gdm failed because it was using ati settings... but then i got to thinking about compatiblity and drivers and wanted to wait till i got some difinitive answers ya know
[04:47] <Batum> noona do you have XP?
[04:47] <malefactor> zipper_, I'm just seeking for a file system that will be used both in Linux and Win32, and VFAT isn't a good choice >.>
[04:47] <zipper__> Yes, it fails, since it can no longer detect an ati graficscard
[04:47] <noona> yes, that's where i paritioned the drive
[04:47] <santa99> hi guys
[04:47] <noona> but i dont know if it's there anymore
[04:47] <zipper__> malefactor, actually, vfat is what i'm using for that purpose
[04:47] <noona> after it said can't load an os
[04:47] <santa99> i want to run a script at the startup
[04:47] <zerotime> I got an xgl session in kdm, it points to kde, how can I make it point to gnome?
[04:47] <santa99> which has sudo commands in it
[04:47] <noona> i dont know if it has to do with the MBR
[04:48] <malefactor> zipper_, I'm using it too, but not to say I'm not happy with the partition size limits
[04:48] <noona> but..
[04:48] <itsm> must go TODAY 2 dell xps m1710 laptops. price 600. these are on yahoo auctions. shipping is included in price and carry cases, message me if interested on aim at itscrazymikeeh or msn at mcsltd3@hotmail.com
[04:48] <zipper__> malefactor, i've heard something about a reiserFS driver for windows though. I know nothing about it, i just heard it existed
[04:48] <santa99> how could i do this ?
[04:48] <josh__> malefactor: just set aside a small vfat/fat16 partition to use a an "intermediary between OS's
[04:48] <Batum> noona - not for shure , but maybe you broke your "booting records" or something like that, so try to boot from WinXP rescue disk, select recovery console and give a command fixmbr
[04:48] <Batum> or fixboot
[04:48] <noona> before i did this partition, when i ran the ubuntu cd, it showed the other drives existing already
[04:48] <malefactor> zipper_, I'm scared of using Reiser... gonna set up my / on XFS... but I won't get any support for XFS in Win, and that's pity
[04:48] <noona> now it shows 149 GB unallocated
[04:48] <santa99> any ideas
[04:49] <Brownster> santa99,  hang on
[04:49] <josh__> windows does have a driver that will allow you to read from the linux partition but not write to it
[04:49] <noona> (my harddrive size_
[04:49] <santa99> Brownster, ideas or what ?
[04:49] <malefactor> The problem is... I have like 6 partitions on a single HD, and that's no good.
[04:50] <santa99> Brownster, Am I not allowd to ask ?
[04:50] <zerotime> why?
[04:50] <noona> what abouy the 149 unallocated GB?
[04:50] <Brownster> santa99, i have a script that runs at shutdown to back up the system to another disk, you can install a script as root so sudo not required ie no interaction is that what u want
[04:50] <CrazyDoode> xfishtank tanks when i start it.. :(
[04:50] <z1pp3r> josh__, ah, thats probably what i'm thinking off then. Hmm, that doesnt do you much good then
[04:50] <Brownster> santa99, just thinking, needed a bit of time!
[04:50] <visik7> malefactor: all fs supported by linux are accessible from windows using colinux that is a linux kernel running at ring0
[04:50] <santa99> Brownster, oh ok
[04:50] <zerotime> well busy guys ill ask somewhere else
[04:50] <zerotime> see u
[04:50] <malefactor> visik7, accessible to read, or write as well?
[04:51] <josh__> well thats why i ended up setting a small 50 meg vfat partition as a holding cell
[04:51] <visik7> malefactor: yes is a linux kernel
[04:51] <Brownster> santa99,  did my answer help?
[04:51] <visik7> malefactor: so fs supports is the same of a native kernel running on the machine
[04:51] <noona> batum?
[04:51] <nko> anyone knows qvamps?
[04:51] <malefactor> Hmm, ok, thanks visik7
[04:51] <santa99> Brownster, but i have to enter my password with su
[04:52] <z1pp3r> malefactor, well, my honest suggestion is for you to use vfat. It's by far the easiest way to go, and vfat isn't all that bad. Just use it at a storage partition only
[04:52] <uglymonke> Hi all. Simple network question, but i cant figure it out. I have a dsl setup with fixed IP and right now i use one pc as server. I got myself a Ethernet hub - all i have to do is connect the main port to the router right? but how do i know what ip:s to assign to each pc? is it going to be dhcp? or fixed adress?
[04:52] <visik7> z1pp3r: until you have files larger than 2 gb
[04:52] <Brownster> santa99, do you want to have to enter a password or would you prefer your script to run with on interaction?
[04:52] <visik7> or 4 gb
[04:52] <malefactor> z1pp3r, yeah, looks like I have to use it further, as I am doing now...
[04:52] <nko> anyone knows k9copy?
[04:52] <santa99> Brownster, I would prefer not to enter a password
[04:53] <uglymonke> nko, yes what do you want to know?
[04:53] <kennethlove> that password keeps you safe
[04:53] <polpak> santa99: just configure your sudoers file to not require a password for the specific user(s) you want to allow
[04:53] <CrazyDoode> uglymonke: if you go with dhcp you don't have to worry about it. If you go with fixed then you have to understand non-routeable IP ranges such as 192.168.0.1/255
[04:53] <z1pp3r> uglymonke, a hub does nothing but spread out the signal to and from every port in it, to every port in it. If you have a dhcp working, getting a hub shouldnt affect it. Same goes for having a working setup of static ip's.
[04:53] <polpak> santa99: but in general it's better to just type the password.
[04:54] <nko> i can't burning a dvd because the file generated by k9copy is 4.7 Gb but K3b burning until 4.5Gb
[04:54] <HackMaster> question for anyone: is it possible to force ubuntu to start up into the xdmcp chooser, not the login window? for thin client systems?
[04:54] <santa99> polpak, i only want to mount a harddisk
[04:54] <Tommck___> I just installed a Dapper Server and aplay plays static when playing anything but a WAVE file.  It seems to think everything else is 8000Hz and 8bit audio.  Am I missing something?
[04:54] <Brownster> santa99, what will your script do?
[04:54] <z1pp3r> visik7, well, thats true. I know it's not a perfect solution, but it's easy and it's safe, unlike sharing a ntfs partition
[04:54] <santa99> Brownster, mounting 2 harddisks
[04:55] <nko> uglymonke it's possible to chenge the compression?
[04:55] <santa99> Brownster, It isn't possible to do this in fstab
[04:55] <z1pp3r> CrazyDoode, non-routeable ip ranges? May i query you about that subject?
[04:55] <Brownster> santa99, u dont need a script to do that , yes in fstab
[04:55] <uglymonke> CrazyDoode, so where do i select the ip's or dhcp choice for my ethernet hub? I dont think i configure the router?
[04:55] <Brownster> santa99, you add lines for the harddisks you want to mount
[04:55] <nko> i know that exist qvamps (a gui for vamps) but i don't find the deb package
[04:56] <Brownster> santa99, are they windows harddisks?
[04:56] <santa99> Brownster, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20380
[04:56] <uglymonke> nko, i think so - you can select what to keep on the dvd right?
[04:56] <hyalu_> does anybody know where I can get a package for mod_proxy_ajp?
[04:56] <z1pp3r> !grub
[04:56] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[04:56] <HackMaster> question for anyone: is it possible to force ubuntu to start up into the xdmcp chooser, not the login window? for thin client systems?
[04:56] <santa99> Brownster, has tried this several times but to run the mount command is the only possibility
[04:56] <nko> yes ugly.. but i want the whole dvd!!!
[04:56] <CrazyDoode> uglymonke: consult the documentation which came with your hardware.. z1pp3r go ahead and ask.. someone may know if i don't
[04:56] <loko555> hello guys, does somebody know how to close open sunrpc-port in dapper drake, i did not find anything useful in the forum
[04:57] <munsa> Hey I have a question, I have a Kubuntu CD  I am running Ubunty but I would like to install KDE as well, is there a way I can do it without having to download KDE fromt he repository?
[04:57] <uglymonke> CrazyDoode, thx!
[04:57] <loko555> sunrpc is port 111 and i just want to close it
[04:57] <mwe> santa99: anything that can be done with the mount command can be done via fstab as well
[04:57] <santa99> well
[04:57] <Brownster> santa99, so youve added the lines to fstab? and they failed to mount is that right?
[04:57] <santa99> mwe, i have tried it but it always says bad line
[04:58] <uglymonke> nko, in stupid windows right now but im quite sure i got it to work by choosing compression? i think .- anyone else?
[04:58] <mistershooby> hello, I'm a complete linux newbie but I installed ubuntu yesterday
[04:58] <mwe> santa99: it's possible though
[04:58] <HackMaster> munsa: just insert the kubuntu cd, and try 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop'. it will see the cd and scan there first
[04:58] <mistershooby> I installed the flash player, and am not getting any sound
[04:58] <polpak> loko555: why do you want to "close" it?
[04:58] <Thunderous> welcome to the free world mistershooby
[04:58] <munsa> ok cool
[04:58] <DrkLrd> #ubuntu-locoteams
[04:58] <mistershooby> haha thank you Thunderou
[04:58] <santa99> dev/hda5       /mnt/hda5       captive-ntfs defaults,umask=000  0    0
[04:58] <mistershooby> got any suggestions for my problem?
[04:58] <loko555> because it is open and i dont want that
[04:58] <santa99> thats the line i have added
[04:58] <HackMaster> munsa: did it fop me, but i use all alternate cds
[04:58] <santa99> but it always says bad line
[04:58] <polpak> loko555: it's not open to the outside world
[04:58] <santa99> and don't mount it right
[04:58] <HackMaster> munsa: give it a shot
[04:59] <Brownster> santa99, yes i dont use captive-ntfs but my lines look like this :/dev/hdb1       /mnt/windows    ntfs    ro,user,noauto,nls=utf8,umask=0222
[04:59] <mistershooby> I'm a complete youtube hound but I can't get any sound out of the computer for flash videos
[04:59] <z1pp3r> CrazyDoode, i just wanted you to ellaborate on the subject. I have a setup where i have a router from my isp -> hub -> wireless router -> stationary pc (wired) + laptop (wireless). On the router from my isp i use 10.0.0.1-255 / 255.255.255.0 (wtf? i know, but it was predefined by my isp) dhcp, and my wireless router uses 192.168.1.1-255 / 255.255.255.0. Should i change the ip ranges to get a better setup?
[04:59] <erUSUL> loko555: iirc the port is used by nfs
[04:59] <afief> Is there a way to restore data from a deleted partition?
[04:59] <fyrestrtr> is there any solution to play encrypted itunes videos?
[04:59] <mwe> santa99: captive-ntfs is not safe either. ntfs-3g is much safer
[04:59] <polpak> loko555: did you install nfs?
[04:59] <santa99> mwe is it
[04:59] <loko555> yes i did install nfs
[04:59] <polpak> loko555: are you using nfs?
[04:59] <Thunderous> problems with flash aren't uncommon mistershooby maybe its just one of those that wont play properly, linux flash is woeful
[04:59] <xenocide> Hey everybody! When I try to start gdm is says module "nvidia" isn't installed. I have a 6600GT (Dual core GPU) with nvidia-glx installed via ubuntu-desktop. xserver crashes. Is there a fail-safe driver I can use to get X running? I've tried "nv"and "vga" with the same errors. Thanks
[04:59] <santa99> mwe, ok I have tried it before but I have had problems with it
[05:00] <CrazyDoode> z1pp3r: nope. those are both non-routeable ranges that setup looks fine
[05:00] <mistershooby> Thunderous: but you would think youtube videos would work
[05:00] <mwe> santa99: yes. in extensive benchmarks captive fails with checksum errors
[05:00] <polpak> Thunderous: I've never had trouble with it
[05:00] <mistershooby> how do you uninstall flash?
[05:00] <erUSUL> !nvidia > xenocide
[05:00] <mistershooby> maybe I can uninstall/reinstall
[05:00] <loko555> i thought it can be a security risk if this port is open, and no i dont use nfs anymore
[05:00] <HackMaster> question for anyone: is it possible to force ubuntu to start up into the xdmcp chooser, not the login window? for thin client systems?
[05:00] <Thunderous> i got to say ive never had a prob with youtube mistershooby
[05:00] <santa99> mwe, ok when you say it i will go on using ntfs-3g
[05:00] <xenocide> Thanks, I'll give that a go.
[05:00] <mwe> santa99: it's up to you
[05:00] <mwe> !ntfs-3g
[05:00] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is a linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution. Dapper installation instructions http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710
[05:00] <Brownster> santa99, u have a missing slash at the beginning, you line also has 0 0 at the end afaik these options apply to ext2 partitions
[05:01] <mistershooby> Thunderous: I heard there was some open source alternative to flash
[05:01] <polpak> loko555: you can remove it
[05:01] <Tommck___> crap... accidentally closed this just as someone was trying to talk about music players :)
[05:01] <afief> Is there a way to restore data from a deleted partition?
[05:01] <loko555> polpak: as i can see in synaptic i don'T have nfs installed, i just thought so
[05:01] <itsm> must go TODAY 2 dell xps m1710 laptops. price 600. these are on yahoo auctions. shipping is included in price and carry cases, message me if interested on aim at itscrazymikeeh or msn at mcsltd3@hotmail.com
[05:02] <mistershooby> Thunderous: I had installed flash via the terminal...how do I uninstall it
[05:02] <Thunderous> mistershooby, well theres swfplayer
[05:02] <santa99> Brownster, thx for your help but i will use ntfs-3g so as a matter of fact it is more stable so i will try this thx for you help anyway
[05:02] <Brownster> santa99, np hope it works
[05:02] <loko555> polpak: i neither have nfs-common nor nfs-server installed
[05:02] <polpak> loko555: sudo apt-get remove --purge nfs-kernel-server nfs-common portmap libnfsidmap1
[05:02] <hawkdascarface> Hi there folks
[05:02] <richee> ardchoille: hi dude
[05:02] <polpak> loko555: it's portmap that opens 111
[05:02] <z1pp3r> CrazyDoode, ok good, thank you. I'll have to look into that subject, can you recommend a good article about routed ip ranges/non-routed ranges?
[05:02] <richee> ardchoille: remember me :)
[05:02] <polpak> loko555: it's a dependancy of nfs
[05:02] <hawkdascarface> I need some help setting up my sound card on ubuntu dapper
[05:02] <erUSUL> !sound
[05:02] <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
[05:03] <loko555> polpak: so can i run into trouble if i remove portmap?
[05:03] <hawkdascarface> i think there's now "multimedia system" in preferences
[05:03] <jrojas> hi.. my gnome-panel is gone! :S (panic!)
[05:03] <polpak> loko555: probably not
[05:03] <polpak> loko555: you can install deborphan to check
[05:03] <hawkdascarface> there's just audio
[05:03] <santa99> !ntfs-3g
[05:03] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is a linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution. Dapper installation instructions http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710
[05:03] <munsa> Do I really need to install these Updates?
[05:04] <loko555> polpak: ok, thanks for your help, i just deinstalled portmap
[05:04] <z1pp3r> munsa, what updates?
[05:04] <munsa> Each time I login to the net there are new Updates, I always get them but I dunno if I need them or not
[05:04] <nox-Hand> The visudo command - how do I use it? I want to add a user to sudoers
[05:04] <Brownster> afief, there are some tools out there to help recover deleted partitions
[05:04] <polpak> loko555: you can check the ports with netstat -an | grep LISTEN
[05:04] <munsa> Synaptic updates.
[05:04] <hawkdascarface> ok i'll check those links brb
[05:04] <z1pp3r> munsa, always get them, if you can spare the bandwith at the time
[05:04] <CrazyDoode> z1pp3r: google is always a great place to start. sorry i don't know of any specific articles.
[05:04] <polpak> loko555: actually, pipe that to grep tcp also
[05:04] <z1pp3r> munsa, it's usually best to be up-to-date
[05:05] <munsa> zlpper
[05:05] <munsa> yea I usually get them
[05:05] <z1pp3r> CrazyDoode, okay, thanks anyway
[05:06] <polpak> nox-Hand: just type visudo
[05:06] <nox-Hand> polpak, Right, I figured that, and edited it, but how do I exit and save in VIM? I dont know VIM
[05:06] <polpak> nox-Hand: or sudo visudo actually
[05:06] <loko555> polpak: i checked it with netstat -tld
[05:06] <cge> nox-Hand: :x
[05:06] <nox-Hand> polpak, Now its edited, how do I save?
[05:07] <polpak> nox-Hand: you should be in nano unless you changed your editor
[05:07] <nox-Hand> polpak, I am not o.o
[05:07] <mwe> nox-Hand: don't use visudo to add a superuser
[05:07] <cge> mwe: Why not?
[05:07] <mwe> nox-Hand: add the user to the admin group
[05:07] <mwe> cge: because it's not how you do it
[05:07] <polpak> nox-Hand: are you just trying to make another admin user?
[05:07] <nox-Hand> No
[05:07] <polpak> ok
[05:07] <nox-Hand> I am trying to get sudo to use with this user from cli
[05:08] <mwe> cge: users in the admin group are allowed to use sudo by default. no need to edit the sudoers file
[05:08] <polpak> nox-Hand: oh, then add them to the admin group
[05:08] <cge> mwe: There is much more to /etc/sudo than just giving the same permissions as the admin group has.
[05:08] <xapaho> help! gcc n'est-il pas sur le cdrom d'edubuntu (dapper) ?!
[05:08] <nox-Hand> polpak, Erm..
[05:08] <loko555> polpak: another question, do u use xchat-gnome for irc?
[05:08] <cge> err, s/sudo/sudoers
[05:08] <fyrestrtr> !fr
[05:08] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[05:08] <nerfed\gone> guys i just got ubuntu and i wanted to get irc for it. I need to run the ./configure command but i cant because i dont have any compilers or anything :/ where can i download essential stuff like that?
[05:08] <xapaho> oops sorry
[05:08] <polpak> nox-Hand: if you want to do something more specific (like give specific sudo permissions to 1 user for a particular command) then you need to edit sudoers
[05:08] <polpak> loko555: I do
[05:09] <ctkt05> is there a shortcut key combo to change between work spaces?
[05:09] <nox-Hand> polpak, So, if I just want them to be able to use sudo, I do...?
[05:09] <fyrestrtr> nerfed\gone: irc client is already installed, you can find plenty of irc servers in the repos.
[05:09] <xapaho> help! isn't gcc avail on edubuntu cdrom (dapper) ?!
[05:09] <fyrestrtr> !software > nerfed\gone
[05:09] <polpak> nox-Hand: go to system->administration->users and groups
[05:09] <fyrestrtr> xapaho: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[05:09] <nox-Hand> polpak, I am in cli
[05:09] <fyrestrtr> ctkt05: ctrl+alt+ left and right arrow keys
[05:09] <cge> nox-Hand: From the CLI, use usermod
[05:09] <polpak> nox-Hand: oh, then sudo vigr
[05:09] <xapaho> fyrestrtr: no web connex..
[05:09] <ctkt05> ah, thank you fyrestrtr
[05:10] <polpak> nox-Hand: or usermod is probably a better idea
[05:10] <mwe> nox-Hand: sudo adduser foobar admin will do it
[05:10] <fyrestrtr> xapaho: get web connection :)
[05:10] <zipper_> I'm reading a guide on the wiki, and i recommends me doing "System > Preferences > Multimedia Systems Selector" but i'm running kde and do not have that menu. What is that application called? So i can install it in kde
[05:10] <xapaho> fyrestrtr: the aim is to be able to install the dsl modem :)
[05:10] <Jay> anyone around
[05:10] <polpak> nox-Hand: you only need to be in the admin group  to use sudo. so what mwe said will be easiest
[05:10] <loko555> so can you tell me the following: if i will answere to ones question, and i write his name in the answere like this "polpak: do you know ..." then this users xchat-gnome is flashing, cause i have used his name, is this correct?
[05:10] <cge> I hate Ctrl-W closing the window. Every time I want to delete a word, I end up leaving the room.
[05:11] <Jay> Anyone have any info on the wifi woes with the recent kernel upgrade?
[05:11] <polpak> loko555: yes, that's common for most irc clients
[05:11] <zipper_> I'm reading a guide on the wiki, and i recommends me doing "System > Preferences > Multimedia Systems Selector" but i'm running kde and do not have that menu. What is that application called? So i can install it in kde. Anyone who is running ubuntu 6.06 can answer me on this one, just look for what the program is called, please
[05:12] <cge> There used to be a way to get GNOME to use Emacs-like keybindings. Is that gone now?
[05:12] <nox-Hand> polpak, That mwe said involves adding a user :(
[05:12] <loko555> polpak: is there a fast way to include the user-name i want, or in your case, do you write loko555 all the time?
[05:12] <polpak> nox-Hand: no
[05:12] <nox-Hand> useradd?
[05:12] <cge> loko555: Try typing the first few letters and pressing tab.
[05:12] <valkyria> hi everyone
[05:13] <nny_> ok so twinview clone works but twinview rightof or leftof doesn't, any suggestions?
[05:13] <nerfed\gone> i went to the packages.ubuntu.com since i guess thats the place to find compilers and other stuff i will need. Im just wondering what im supposed to choose from, warty, hoary, breezy and so on? what are those things? whats the difference between choosing dapper from edgy?
[05:13] <loko555> cge: i didn't think that it is so easy
[05:13] <nox-Hand> polpak, That tells me I have that name in use
[05:13] <loko555> cge: thanks a lot for this hint
[05:13] <hawkdascarface> @ubotu i just rann aadebug and it told me that module conf for modrope is missing... could that be a problem?
[05:13] <cge> nerfed\gone: What are you trying to compile?
[05:13] <_mali_> is here anybodu who have experiences with MP3 player Philips HDD 6230 and linux?
[05:13] <cge> loko555: That works in quite a few places.
[05:13] <A[D] minS> why i can't run xchat from work pc ?
[05:13] <munsa> Oh I have a question... How do you change file dependancys? For example I want .mp3 files to open by default with XMMS and I want all video files to open with Mplayer.... Now by default all video open with Totem
[05:13] <A[D] minS> when  i do it
[05:14] <cge> loko555: It also works in location entry for nautilus and file selection dialogs.
[05:14] <mwe> nox-Hand: what did you type?
[05:14] <loko555> cge: it works in the terminal if i Want to execute a command
[05:14] <valkyria> when I leave kubuntu downloading alone without activity it freeze and in the kernel log said that wlan0 was trying to recalibrate but it couldn't because is was hot or something like that
[05:14] <A[D] minS> says  xchat
[05:14] <A[D] minS> [screen is terminating] 
[05:14] <polpak> nox-Hand: sudo adduser foobar admin
[05:14] <valkyria> does anyone what is that?
[05:14] <cge> nerfed\gone: What do you want to compile?
[05:14] <polpak> nox-Hand: it should just add that user to that group
[05:14] <nox-Hand> sudo adduser <myusersname> admin
[05:14] <nox-Hand> mwe,
[05:14] <nox-Hand> Thats what I did
[05:14] <nerfed\gone> cge an irc client called xchat
[05:14] <polpak> loko555: start typing the name, then hit tab
[05:14] <united> hi guys
[05:14] <cge> nerfed\gone: Why not just do sudo apt-get install xchat?
[05:15] <valkyria> munsa you can do it like this
[05:15] <cge> nerfed\gone: Or go into synaptic, and search for xchat.
[05:15] <mwe> nox-Hand: yes and it failed?
[05:15] <polpak> loko555: ah, cge already told you
[05:15] <loko555> cge: but can you tell me another thing: if i write something like this "sudo gim.." and press tab then it don't work
[05:15] <lillpelle> A[D] minS: screen is not for X apps, right?
[05:15] <valkyria> right click on a file of that format
[05:15] <nox-Hand> mwe, Yes, as that username exists
[05:15] <A[D] minS> yes
[05:15] <cge> loko555: it should work.
[05:15] <Wheelybin> !unreal tournament
[05:15] <ubotu> I know nothing about unreal tournament - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[05:15] <valkyria> *.mp3 for exmaple
[05:15] <nerfed\gone> cge i tried that but it says E: Couldn't find package xchat
[05:15] <hana> need to install ubuntu on an existing xp machine in a new partition... will xp's boot loader get all messed up when grub goes on the master boot?
[05:15] <ctkt05> what is a good mp3 player to get? also, are there any ipod programs out there?
[05:15] <valkyria> click on open with
[05:15] <cge> nerfed\gone: Oh! I forgot.
[05:15] <hana> ctkt05 xmms
[05:15] <A[D] minS> lillpelle: but i want to make it runs GUI
[05:15] <Jay> no
[05:15] <cge> nerfed\gone: It is in universe.
[05:15] <lillpelle> A[D] minS: thus, I don't understand exactly what you try to do (since a screen is quited)
[05:15] <hana> gpod ctkt05
[05:16] <polpak> If called with two non-option arguments, adduser will add  an  existing user to an existing group.
[05:16] <mwe> nox-Hand: odd. it works here. try sudo gpasswd -a batman admin then
[05:16] <ctkt05> thanks ill check them both out
[05:16] <nerfed\gone> cge im totally new to linux.. whats universe?
[05:16] <trygg> Heh, how can i make Visualboyadvance run smoother?
[05:16] <united> can i compile ubuntu kernel just like on debian ?
[05:16] <valkyria> select a program form the list, and then click on open always with that application
[05:16] <lillpelle> A[D] minS: I don't think you can. My tip is to run irssi via screen if you want to have the same client from work
[05:16] <loko555> cge: in terminal, writing "gim" and press tab leads to gimp, but if i write "sudo gim" and press tab it seems not to work, is this normal?
[05:16] <valkyria> that is it
[05:16] <BenT> Hello. I have a problem with synaptic. "Failed to run *path here. Unable to copy users Xauthorazition file."
[05:16] <nox-Hand> mwe, Unknown group, admin
[05:16] <hana> united apt-get kernel-package
[05:16] <A[D] minS> lillpelle: i want to open Xchat as GUI here from my " am connecting to my work pc by ssh "
[05:16] <santa99> mew, ok i can mount my built in hard disk but i have problem with my usb volume any ideas
[05:16] <polpak> loko555: yeah
[05:16] <cge> nerfed\gone: Packages which aren't officially supported aren't in the main repository, but are in the universe repository, which is disabled by default.
[05:17] <united> i know this
[05:17] <polpak> loko555: don't need to run gimp as root anyway ;p
[05:17] <united> but can i compile my custom kernel
[05:17] <mwe> nox-Hand: your system is hosed
[05:17] <nox-Hand> mwe, Great :)
[05:17] <cge> loko555: No, that isn't normal.
[05:17] <nerfed\gone> cge so how do i fix that package then?
[05:17] <mwe> nox-Hand: are you running ubuntu?
[05:17] <cge> nerfed\gone: Are you using synaptic?
[05:17] <A[D] minS> lillpelle: not need same client just want to open new window here to use it with WORK IP
[05:17] <nox-Hand> I am, yes
[05:17] <A[D] minS> got my point?
[05:17] <nox-Hand> I am at a mates place, though
[05:17] <lillpelle> A[D] minS: hm, maybe some setting for your ssh client/server is not correct. Try to run ssh -X user@host, and then xchat
[05:17] <nox-Hand> ^^
[05:18] <loko555> polpak: thanks for answering my questions so fast and good, btw. gimp was just an example, but like cge wrote it is not normal, so what should i think
[05:18] <nerfed\gone> cge im sorry but i have no idea what synaptic is (totally new to linux)
[05:18] <number_six> hi all
[05:18] <united> ??
[05:18] <lillpelle> A[D] minS: I'm not sure I get what you really want...
[05:18] <mwe> nox-Hand: are you logged in as root or normal user?
[05:18] <loko555> cge: i use terminal and there this don't work
[05:18] <polpak> loko555: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[05:18] <loko555> polpak: dapper drake
[05:18] <ctkt05> which xmms package do i need to install for just the basic player
[05:18] <polpak> loko555: oh, I had the same issue in breezy, but it works fine in dapper
[05:18] <Ropechoborra> Hi
[05:18] <cge> nerfed\gone: Synaptic is the graphical package manager, at System/Administration/Synaptic...
[05:18] <A[D] minS> lillpelle: thx ..yes i have to add -X
[05:18] <A[D] minS> :)
[05:19] <loko555> polpak: do you know a solution?
[05:19] <Ropechoborra> I was looking for Ubuntu Oficial Book, is there a spanish translation for sale ?
[05:19] <number_six> ctkt05, just type to console sudo apt-get install xmms
[05:19] <cge> loko555: Are you using dapper or breezy?
[05:19] <ctkt05> k
[05:19] <loko555> cge: dapper
[05:19] <santa99> mwe, ok i can mount my built in hard disk but i have problem with my usb volume any ideas
[05:19] <cge> loko555: Try ". /etc/bash_completion" in the terminal.
[05:20] <nerfed\gone> cge no havent tried that.. i just used the terminal to try and get xchat
[05:20] <mwe> santa99: usually it automounts. are the usb modules loaded?
[05:20] <bobbyd_> hi
[05:20] <polpak> loko555: not offhand, other than typing the command first, then ctrl-A and typing sudo
[05:20] <cge> nerfed\gone: Oh.
[05:20] <bobbyd_> where can I find the list of packages that I have installed on my Ubuntu system?
[05:20] <gepatino> Ropechoborra: I dont think it's translated, but you could try asking in #ubuntu-es
[05:20] <munsa> What are the Best Repositorys to add to get good games and stuff? Is there other repositorys than the ones that are origionally there?
[05:20] <Ropechoborra> Okk
[05:20] <santa99> mwe, it mounts automatic but is mounted from the system so it doesn't use the ntfs-3g drivers
[05:21] <BenT> Repeating = bad, I know, but... when I run Synaptic, I get "Unable to copy the users Xauthoraziton(sp) file."
[05:21] <cge> nerfed\gone: Well go to that, and then go to Settings/Repositories, and edit them to include Universe.
[05:21] <number_six> ctkt05, if you want to more skins type sudo apt-get install xmms-skins, but you can use the oldschool winamp skins with .wsz extension
[05:21] <nox-Hand> mwe, Normal user, su'd to root
[05:21] <mwe> santa99: add an entry for the device in fstab and it should work
[05:21] <ctkt05> cool, any other good plugins for it?
[05:21] <santa99> mwe, ok thx
[05:21] <ctkt05> what about media player, for like divx files, etc...
[05:22] <mwe> nox-Hand: can you paste /etc/sudoers at paste.ubuntu-nl.org?
[05:22] <polpak> ctkt05: there's mplayer, or gxine, or totem-xine
[05:22] <number_six> ctkt05,  yes. if you want to all the avaible xmms stuff in the repo start synaptic and search for xmms
[05:22] <cge> Actually, does checking the "Show unsupported applications" in the Add/Remove Programs app enable universe? I use the CLI so much I don't remember these things.
[05:22] <mwe> santa99: mount it from th CLI first to see if it works. unmount first of course
[05:22] <mwe> santa99: if it's already mounted
[05:23] <Sinisterr> humm wireless seem to work
[05:23] <number_six> can anybody help me about tvcards?
[05:23] <nerfed\gone> cge i did that and it works, thanks alot! god tis makes it so much easier using linux :)
[05:23] <Wheelybin> Lo there. I got the windows verrsion of Unreal tournament (the original version) and google and synaptic arnt much help. Does anyone know where I can get the linux port?
[05:23] <santa99> mwe, mount it from the CLI what is CLI ?
[05:23] <cge> nerfed\gone: So now you should be able to find xchat and install it.
[05:23] <mwe> santa99: the terminal, command line interface
[05:23] <cge> nerfed\gone: We even have to different forks of xchat.
[05:23] <loko555> cge: this works thanks a lot dude
[05:23] <santa99> mwe, ok
[05:23] <nerfed\gone> cge what do you mean?
[05:23] <cge> nerfed\gone: Xchat is the normal xchat, and xchat-gnome is the GNOME variant.
[05:23] <polpak> Wheelybin: it's on the cd
[05:24] <munsa> !pastebin
[05:24] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[05:24] <nerfed\gone> cge what are the main differences between them?
[05:24] <nox-Hand> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20381 mwe , I added username kris to it
[05:24] <Wheelybin> No it not. I got the windows installer, and the game files, but no linux binaries
[05:24] <santa99> mwe , Windows did not shut down properly.  Try to mount volume in windows, shut down and try again.
[05:24] <cge> nerfed\gone: Xchat-gnome has a highly crippled and rather poorly designed user list, but on the other hand, has very nice plugins.
[05:24] <santa99> mwe, do i really have to boot windows or is there a way around it
[05:24] <polpak> Wheelybin: there's a .sh program on install disk 1
[05:24] <easytiger> anyone use synaptic touchpad on ubu?
[05:25] <ubuuntuuu> how i can install flash?
[05:25] <mwe> santa99: I don't know
[05:25] <digitallotus> easytiger, yup
[05:25] <santa99> mwe, ok thx
[05:25] <axisys> anyone upgraded to 6.06.1 ?
[05:25] <santa99> mwe, you helped me a lot
[05:25] <ubuuntuuu> yes me
[05:25] <Admiratius> hi
[05:25] <digitallotus> easytiger, you having problems with it?
[05:25] <polpak> Wheelybin: if you copy that to your home directory, then run it with (or without) sudo it'll start the installer
[05:25] <easytiger> which driver you using and how do you set it up ?
[05:25] <cge> nerfed\gone: When anyone says my name, for example, and I'm doing something else, the message pops up in a little notification, for example.
[05:25] <nerfed\gone> cge oh could you give a example of a plugin? and how would i get that gnome version? i would atleast want to try it
[05:25] <farous> !flash > ubuuntuuu
[05:25] <santa99> mwe, and you have never had a problem with ntfs-3g destroying the partition ?
[05:25] <Admiratius> does anybody know a good antivirus prgramm for ubuntu?
[05:25] <nerfed\gone> cge thats really good
[05:25] <Wheelybin> Polpak: What director is the sh file in? This is orriginal unreal tournament, not 2004 or 2003
[05:25] <rob86_> ok
[05:26] <polpak> Wheelybin: oh, sorry. I thought you meant UT 2k4
[05:26] <easytiger> digitallotus.. yes i am!
[05:26] <holy_cow> holymoly I like frozen bubble
[05:26] <holy_cow> its better than snood
[05:26] <Pirate-King> hello
[05:26] <munsa> If anyone is an MPLAYER expert out there, this is the error I keep getting
[05:26] <munsa> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20382
[05:26] <cge> nerfed\gone: If you use networkmanager, I believe another plugin will automatically connect/disconnect you if you gain/lose your network connection.
[05:26] <polpak> Wheelybin: lemme try finding you a loki installer r at the very least a howto
[05:26] <r9999> installed ubuntu lamp server - all apt-get install's now ask for cd.  can i use the .iso as a virtual cd-rom to avoid this?
[05:26] <mwe> santa99: no

[05:28] <zipper_> I'm looking someone who has experience with getting the intel hda soundcard working on an Asus A6R laptop. The problem is extensive and well known, therefore i do not want to spam up a channel about something i guess only few could know something about.
[05:28] <cge> nerfed\gone: You are quite welcome, that is mostly why I am here. If you like the terminal, you might want to try out the irssi client as well.
[05:28] <bobbyd_> does anyone know where dpkg -l gets it's information from?

[05:44] <Kyral_Laptop> ubotu tell knoppix about dma
[05:44] <Sinisterr> i wont to see the files and use them from the win machine
[05:44] <digitallotus> Sinisterr, you need to use samba
[05:45] <whoppix> hey all :) ubuntu takes automatically care about the hotkeys on my multimedia keyboard (ps2) but i would like to change the behaviour of some buttons, does someone know how or where to do that? thx for help in advance :)
[05:46] <munsa> Is it possible that I have Mplayer installed on more than one place?
[05:46] <Kyral_Laptop> whoppix: look for "Keyboard shortcuts" in GNOME Prefs
[05:46] <Sinisterr> digitallotus: what client would connect to windows then?
[05:47] <whoppix> Kyral_Laptop, there is something like that, but it looks like i cant change much in that config tool
[05:47] <Kyral_Laptop> whoppix: I dunno I don
[05:47] <Kyral_Laptop> 't use GNOME anymore :P
[05:47] <whoppix> Kyral_Laptop, i would like to assign my own commands etc
[05:47] <The_Poet> is there a way to list all avaible wireless networks in ubuntu?
[05:48] <gepatino> munsa: there are several pakages related to mplayer, try uninstalling them from aptitude/synaptic
[05:48] <digitallotus> Sinisterr, it's built in to nautilus w/ ubuntu, iirc
[05:48] <filepixel> Im having a problem... the max resolution size i can use is 1024x768 and my monitor is supposed to handle 1280x1024
[05:48] <digitallotus> Sinisterr, you can use a network address like smb://computername/share
[05:48] <Sinisterr> digitallotus: ok thanks
[05:48] <whoppix> Kyral_Laptop, well, im just going to find out all keycodes then using xbindkeys :) thx for the help anyway

[05:52] <jordanau> squidgy, you want to update ubuntu right?
[05:52] <number_six> can anybody help me about tvcards?

[05:54] <we3za> i'm using adsl
[05:54] <Touny> Hello, please what different is betwen ubuntu i386 and powerpc ??
[05:54] <we3za> with netgear router
[05:55] <The_Poet> Touny: they are for diffrent architechtures, diffrent types of computers
[05:55] <digitallotus> Touny, powerpc is a mac processor
[05:55] <wweasel> Hello, I am getting an error when loading Grub. It says Grub is loading...please wait and then after a while it says Error 16.  This is entirely sudden, nothing has been installed or updated since it was last working.
[05:55] <we3za> and i try to set ut up manually
[05:55] <we3za> but still not luck yet
[05:55] <jordanau> i386 = pc powerpc = mac (except intel macs)
[05:55] <we3za> i cant connect to the internet
[05:55] <Broca> Never mind the unauthenticated packages business. Just doing an apt-get update resolved the thing.
[05:55] <we3za> so i'm using the other pc now
[05:56] <squidgy> wweasel:  I recall having a similar problem, and I traced it to having an external USB HD plugged in while attempting to boot.
[05:56] <number_six> we3za, check the dgcp pool setting on the router
[05:56] <Touny> yep, i know that i386 is architechture, but i didnt know that obout powerPC,thanks
[05:56] <jordanau> we3za, is the adsl connected to a router or directly to your computer?
[05:56] <we3za> it is connected to the router
[05:57] <jordanau> we3za, wireless or wired?
[05:57] <we3za> wired
[05:57] <we3za> that's why it is strange
[05:57] <The_Poet> I need help to set up my wlan to work in my ubuntu, however in network settings it dosent seem to see the ESSID even though its open (it can be seen in kubuntu). even if i type in the ESSID manually, it dosent connect. any suggestions?
[05:57] <we3za> because when i install my other comp
[05:57] <jordanau> did the live cd pick up the network?
[05:57] <we3za> everything is alrite
[05:57] <we3za> i havent tried that
[05:57] <we3za> it is a good idea though
[05:57] <we3za> to use the live cd
[05:58] <we3za> do you reckon i should try to use live cd
[05:58] <number_six> we3za, if you do a lspci see the nic?

[06:07] <we3za> so do you reckon i should try with liwith live cd
[06:07] <we3za> and check it whehter everythin is alrite
[06:07] <we3za> if it's alrite with live cd
[06:08] <we3za> than i know the problem is the installation
[06:08] <xlab> #linux
[06:08] <Larsson-Sweden> squidgy, ok, well im not running as root. I can fix it by typing "OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP="gnome" before oofice but i was thinking there is a binary for it or something.
[06:08] <we3za> while if it doesnt work i know that it is my nic
[06:08] <we3za> but in the network setting i can see the eth0
[06:09] <we3za> so i reckon it should be alrite
[06:09] <lemur> Quick question about 6.06.1 release:  The press releases I'm reading all make this sound like it's a separate release, but isn't it just an update to the install CD?

[06:09] <lemur> santa99: fsck

[06:09] <lemur> we3za: are they all coming through apt as well?

[06:10] <we3za> they are
[06:10] <lemur> good, good
[06:10] <we3za> its very cool
[06:10] <munsa> Can anyone please help me remove Mplayer from my system?
[06:10] <santa99> lemur, for ntfs
[06:10] <we3za> much faster
[06:10] <J-_> how can i get mplayer to play in mozilla, i've installed mplayer and the codecs,a long with gstreamer, and nothing loads when i try to watch a movie from the browser
[06:10] <lemur> santa99: I do not know of linux can validate an ntfs file system.  All file systems supported by linux use the fsck utility
[06:10] <number_six> we3za,  what say the ifconf?
[06:10] <santa99> lemur, thx for the info
[06:11] <we3za> i'm not sure no 6
[06:11] <we3za> because i'm using my other comp now
[06:11] <number_six> uhmm
[06:11] <fredo22> Hi, could anybody who uses the default Ubuntu GDM theme please go to "System -> Administration -> Login Window" and tell me which Background Color is selected?
[06:11] <we3za> i will try now with live cd
[06:11] <abo> anyone can tell me why the network manager applet is reporting that I have no network connection?
[06:11] <hawkdascarface> help
[06:11] <we3za> do you think it will help no 6
[06:12] <DrBashir> fsck complains that it can cause severe damage to the fs if its mounted... How can I run such a program on a mounted FS?
[06:12] <finalbeta> munsa, you need to install the MPlayer plugin for firefox. It's in synaptic
[06:12] <hawkdascarface> I need to setup my Souncard, I'm using Dapper
[06:12] <digitallotus> DrBashir, i wouldn't do that
[06:12] <munsa> finalbeta I want to REMOVE Mplayer
[06:12] <munsa> It is compiled from source I cant figure out how to remove it
[06:12] <digitallotus> DrBashir, you'd want to unmount or at the very least mount it read-only
[06:12] <J-_> will the mplayer plug in for firefox work for mozilla to watch streamed videos?
[06:12] <finalbeta> J-_,  you need to install the MPlayer plugin for firefox. It's in synaptic
[06:13] <J-_> errm, k thanks =D
[06:13] <finalbeta> munsa, sry, don't know that one, don't use it
[06:13] <DrBashir> digitallotus, but how do I check it for errors then? Its my OS partition
[06:13] <fredo22> munsa, in the same directory you did "make install" do "make uninstall"
[06:13] <maxy> OK I just upgraded to ubuntu 6.06 (as reccomended) and now X is gone. (cannot load module bitmap/pcidata). What's the fastest way to fix this?
[06:13] <number_six> ok. you have a 3Com Fast Etherlink nic on your mobo. serch for on the ubuntu forum. Will find a lot of topics about this nic
[06:13] <finalbeta> J-_, probably not.
[06:13] <digitallotus> should normally be done automatically by the os when booting
[06:13] <fredo22> munsa, perhaps using sudo
[06:13] <J-_> HEH
[06:13] <J-_> back to square one then
[06:13] <maxy> I only find 2004 thready with the same problem with google.
[06:13] <digitallotus> DrBashir, if the filesystem is marked as dirty, it starts an automatic fsck
[06:13] <we3za> cool no 6
[06:13] <DrBashir> digitallotus, hmm, ok
[06:13] <we3za> ur help is much appreciated
[06:14] <hawkdascarface> does anybody know how to setup a E-MU 0404 sound card on Ubuntu DApper?
[06:14] <DrBashir> thk
[06:14] <we3za> need to catch my sleep now
[06:14] <DrBashir> thx
[06:14] <we3za> cheers guy
[06:14] <finalbeta> J-_, just search synaptic
[06:14] <Gassed> when I revoke a certificate in TinyCA it stays VALID, why?
[06:15] <wweasel> How would I fsck my root partition? I tried but it says it can cause SEVERE filesystem damage. Can I force it to do it next startup?
[06:15] <filepixel> I got a problem now where my X server won't startup because of some error and now i cant get a interface instead only a command line based os. How can i fix this?
[06:15] <abo> anyone knows why the NetworkManager applet is reporting that there is "No Network Connection" ... while I'm connected ok?
[06:15] <digitallotus> wweasel, you should be able to run shutdown -F -r now to force an fsck on next reboot
[06:16] <DrBashir> wweasel, I just learned that if at bootup there is a problem found (marked dirty) it does start fsck automatically
[06:16] <chaddy> filepixel: try reinstalling your video card driver, perhaps
[06:16] <squidgy> Anyone know the location of a file, containing the changelog message that appears in the "Changes" tab of the software update manager?
[06:16] <Lhademmor> I'm not running Ubuntu. My soundcard (Creative X-Fi Elite Pro) is not supported by Linux :(
[06:16] <thomaswfry> help? --> i installed ubuntu desktop. i dont want local users to get email, instead i want there email forwareded somewhere else. how do i do that ?
[06:16] <magus_x> thomaswfry, : o.O
[06:17] <magus_x> lol
[06:17] <maxy> filepixel: if the log says "cannot load module bitmap/pcidata", then we have the same problem :-(
[06:17] <thomaswfry> ex. the main user gets roots email. i want to send that to a gmail account
[06:17] <filepixel> chaddy: how do i do that when i only have a command-line based interface?
[06:17] <digitallotus> thomaswfry, you can create a file in /root/ called .forward that contains the email address you want the messages delivered to
[06:17] <dek_aik> abo: change the interface from "lo" to "eth0"
[06:18] <chaddy> filepixel: apt-get install lynx, download the driver and install it
[06:18] <chaddy> readmes should help
[06:18] <longwave> squidgy: the changelogs are usually in /usr/share/doc/[package name] /changelog.Debian.gz
[06:18] <abo> dek_aik, how do I do that?
[06:18] <filepixel> chaddy: ok will try thanks
[06:18] <chaddy> np
[06:18] <digitallotus> thomaswfry, hold up, it looks like ubuntu uses the aliases file.... so you'd modify /etc/aliases, then run the command newaliases
[06:18] <longwave> squidgy: you also might want to look at the apt-listchanges package
[06:18] <thomaswfry> awesome, thanks
[06:19] <santa99> where can i look what devices plugged in
[06:19] <dek_aik> abo: i dont have ubuntu atm, but maybe click the applet youll find the options
[06:19] <filepixel> maxy: my log says "error (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. :>
[06:19] <chaddy> santa99: lsusb, lspci, dmesg|grep $yourdevice
[06:20] <santa99> chaddy, well this were the commands i was looking for thx
[06:20] <thomaswfry> sweet, it worked woohoo.
[06:20] <thomaswfry> thanks
[06:20] <chaddy> ;-)
[06:20] <filepixel> chaddy: after i used the commant apt-get install lynx what do i do?
[06:20] <magus_x> ok, im here to support, i can help new users wanting to install it
[06:21] <chaddy> filepixel: lynx www.google.com
[06:21] <squidgy> longwave:  thanks!
[06:21] <santa99> chaddy, do you also know where i can look where the devices are mounted
[06:21] <santa99> chaddy, for instance a usb disk
[06:21] <chaddy> santa99: cat /etc/fstab
[06:21] <Pupeno_> I have these iptables rules: http://pastebin.ca/127988 , does anybody know why I can't connect to http://localhost:8000/ (where I have a web server running) ?
[06:22] <abo> dek_aik, thank you, I removed it and re-added it ..
[06:22] <longwave> chaddy: automounted devices generally end up in /media
[06:22] <longwave> sorry, santa99
[06:22] <longwave> santa99: also type "mount" to see currently mounted devices
[06:22] <polpak> Pupeno_: because the webserver isn't listening on port 8000?
[06:22] <dek_aik> abo: np
[06:22] <santa99> longwave, ok thx was the thing i looked for
[06:22] <Anti-Tedd> Hmm...
[06:22] <Anti-Tedd> Are any of the Ubuntu download site shaving problems?
[06:23] <Pupeno_> polpak: no, the web server is listening on port 8000. If I turn off my firewall I can access it.
[06:23] <Anti-Tedd> I can't download ubuntu, it keeps stopping
[06:23] <squidgy> longwave:  any ideas about why my "Changes" tab no longer shows any changes?  (Upgrading packages works fine, I just have to upgrade without knowing what changed.)
[06:23] <chaddy> Anti-Tedd: they all have beards
[06:23] <LeeJunFan> anyone know what I should look at to convert .3g2 video files from my phone to something normal? I can play them with mplayer but the audio codec isn't supported even w/ wincodecs.
[06:23] <Anti-Tedd> chaddy: ....what?
[06:23] <chaddy> shaving problems lead to beards
[06:23] <munsa> Can anyone please tell me how I can uninstall Mplayer ??? It was installed from source and sudo apt-get remove mplayer dosent work
[06:23] <longwave> squidgy: sorry, no idea
[06:24] <polpak> Pupeno_: what's the output policy?
[06:24] <longwave> Pupeno_: what rules do you have on your OUTPUT chain? input looks ok...
[06:24] <chaddy> munsa: rm -rf `locate mplayer`
[06:24] <Anti-Tedd> chaddy, wiseass rofl
[06:24] <chaddy> ;-)
[06:24] <dek_aik> munsa: go to source directory, then do "sudo make uninstall" there
[06:24] <Pupeno_> munsa: if you install it from source, that's it, there's no way to uninstall. Installing from source is like coping files from one place to another. Maybe you are lucky and you can run make uninstall. There's a strong reason to use packages.
[06:25] <longwave> munsa: if you installed from source without using checkinstall or something, there is usually no uninsall
[06:25] <longwave> *uninstall
[06:25] <munsa> I dont know where the source Dir is
[06:25] <dek_aik> munsa: how did you get it installed?
[06:26] <chaddy> munsa: locate mplayer, check the output, if you want rid of *everything* it lists then rm -rf `mplayer`
[06:26] <Pupeno_> polpak, longwave: I've updated http://pastebin.ca/127993
[06:26] <munsa> I installed from a tarball
[06:26] <munsa> but not sure where it installed to
[06:26] <chaddy> s/`mplayer`/`locate mplayer`
[06:26] <Pupeno_> chaddy: there might be files installed that don't have 'mplayer' on it.
[06:27] <chaddy> I'd be surprised if those files weren't in an .player directory, though, Pupeno_
[06:27] <chaddy> s/.p/mp
[06:27] <dek_aik> munsa: you then tar it right? the source directory is the directory you create from tar taht file
[06:27] <longwave> Pupeno_: are you sure your server is running on that port? there have been no dropped packets according to the pastebin
[06:27] <Pupeno_> munsa: the tarball has to be uncompressed to compile it, that's the directory where you 'might' be able to run make uninstall.
[06:27] <longwave> Pupeno_: what's the output of netstat -l?
[06:27] <Pupeno_> longwave: 100%.
[06:28] <ryuujin__> hi, i use dapper. Yesterday I needed to install gcc-4.1 and so I added edgy's repository and install it. But now I saw that libc6 has been upgraded and the version used on edgy has a bug. So, can I downgrade libc6 to dapper version?
[06:28] <Pupeno_> longwave: added the netstat -l to http://pastebin.ca/127995
[06:29] <frying_fish> ryuujin__: yes, remove the edgy repository, then find libc6 and forces its version to that of dappers
[06:29] <frying_fish> but you will lose gcc-4.1
[06:29] <frying_fish> and why did you need 4.1 instead of 4.0 anyway?
[06:30] <ryuujin__> ok.. no problem losing gcc-4.1
[06:30] <Pupeno_> ryuujin__: you should never mix repositories like that unless you really know what you are doing and have read tons of documentation on apt, there's a way to tell apt to priorize some repositories over others, some packages over others, etc.
[06:30] <longwave> Pupeno_: hrm, ok
[06:30] <minerale> how can I burn an iso file ?
[06:30] <ryuujin__> Pupeno_: it's the true O:-)
[06:30] <longwave> Pupeno_: if you do "iptables -vL", then attempt to connect, then "iptables -vL" again does the first rule's packet count go up as expected?
[06:30] <longwave> Pupeno_: if so, it's not iptables blocking your packets..
[06:30] <Gog123> http://www.linux.com/blob.pl?id=3a7ef02ab7814e08c93d55e347be1f97
[06:31] <Gog123> is this the next ubuntu? :P
[06:31] <Pupeno_> let's see.
[06:31] <ryuujin__> now to force the version of libc6.. frying_fish , what command? thanks...
[06:31] <Gog123> notice the ubuntu logo in the top left
[06:31] <Gog123> i wonder if this is what edgy eft is gonna be like
[06:31] <frying_fish> ryuujin__: pass, I remember it in synaptic, but not directly in apt.
[06:32] <ryuujin__> ok.. frying_fish .. thanks
[06:32] <ryuujin__> now I look in synaptic
[06:32] <munsa> Hey, where is a good place to get decent games?

[06:32] <Pupeno_> munsa: synaptic.

[06:33] <Rictoo> I enter teh pwd for my account, but it says its incorrect
[06:33] <santa99> is there a irc channel for ntfs-3g
[06:33] <santa99> !ntfs-3g
[06:33] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is a linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution. Dapper installation instructions http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710
[06:33] <Rictoo> Anyone whanna help?!?!?!?
[06:33] <Rictoo> I just installed Ubuntu about 1hr ago
[06:33] <Tommy> stfu Rictoo patience

[06:34] <ubotu> The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[06:34] <Pupeno_> longwave: mmhh, with another browser it works...
[06:34] <Rictoo> anyad, te kurva geci
[06:34] <Rictoo> lol
[06:34] <minerale> Hi, could someone help me find a command line program that can burn iso files ?
[06:34] <longwave> Pupeno_: hrm, weird that one browser works and another doesn't
[06:34] <bobbyd_> Rictoo, are you entering your user password?
[06:34] <Rictoo> yes
[06:34] <Rictoo> My one and only user
[06:34] <Rictoo> rictoo :)
[06:34] <neenaonline> ubuntu does not detect my camera !! :o
[06:35] <bobbyd_> Rictoo, do you have caps lock on?
[06:35] <lmosher> When I open a .mpg file in firefox it uses a plugin to play the movie. It goes to a blank screen taht says (no picture) and then once the vid downloads it plays it. Which plugin is this?
[06:35] <Pupeno_> longwave: yes, I am going to ask about the browser then. Thanks.
[06:35] <abo> minerale, cdrecord is the command
[06:35] <Rictoo> no
[06:35] <neenaonline> My sony S600
[06:35] <Rictoo> I entered it correctly =/
[06:35] <longwave> Rictoo: are you sure you are typing it correctly? if you can log in with that password, you should be able to sudo with it
[06:35] <Rictoo> i can logon with it
[06:35] <Rictoo> I just logged off and logged back in
[06:35] <abo> minerale, I can't help more, you can check on google for examples of the command line
[06:35] <Rictoo> and tried sudo, but it didn't work
[06:35] <Rictoo> =/
[06:35] <chaddy> minerale: apropos burn, will tell you what you already have, apt-cache search burn will give you ideas what to install
[06:35] <minerale> abo: that's all I was looking for thanks
[06:35] <abo> minerale, you welcome
[06:35] <bobbyd_> Rictoo, so you do: sudo blah then enter your password? and it says invalid?
[06:36] <Rictoo> yes
[06:36] <Rictoo> rictoo@rictoo-desktop:~$ sudo aptitude update
[06:36] <Rictoo> Password:
[06:36] <Rictoo> Sorry, try again.
[06:36] <minerale> chaddy: oddly enough apropos burn does not tell you about cdrecord
[06:36] <longwave> Rictoo: do you have any strange characters (that aren't letters or numbers) in your password?
[06:36] <Rictoo> oh shit...
[06:36] <Rictoo> >>

[06:38] <chaddy> neenaonline: does it get detected as a memory device?
[06:38] <UpMarc> Hi... does someone here know a good film, video and clip editor?
[06:38] <neenaonline> chaddy: It does not get detected at all :(
[06:39] <chaddy> have you switched it on while it's connected, neenaonline?
[06:39] <doll2> are there any known issues with 6.06 server install cd?
[06:39] <UpMarc> neenaonline: neither mine :-(
[06:40] <Tinned_Tuna> heya
[06:40] <morpho> hi all does anyone can help me i need to know how i can detect all dependencie to build a software like gnucash 2. i just want to install needed dep to build it, thank
[06:40] <doll2> after installation it boots right into reset
[06:40] <Tinned_Tuna> I /had/ a fairly high-res screen for Ubuntu, but since putting a KVM in, ubuntu only sees (and allows me to select) 640x480@60Hz
[06:40] <Tinned_Tuna> can I force it to change this?
[06:40] <doll2> even if I use grub or lilo
[06:40] <minerale> how can I install kde on ubuntu ?
[06:40] <minerale> ie, what's the package name ?
[06:41] <neenaonline> chaddy: duh ! ;)
[06:41] <chaddy> minerale: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[06:41] <polpak> !resolution
[06:41] <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
[06:41] <longwave> UpMarc: check out "kino" (in main) or "cinelerra" (google for it) for video editing packages
[06:41] <chaddy> neenaonline: :-D
[06:41] <Rictoo> minarale: kubuntu-desktop
[06:42] <Rictoo> or for only the core (without all teh crap) kde-core
[06:42] <UpMarc> longwave: i tried Kino... but all I try to import (mpeg, mov, avi.... it says it's not a DV file :-(
[06:42] <Tinned_Tuna> thanks
[06:42] <longwave> morpho: "apt-get build-dep gnucash" will get you the build dependencies for the gnucash package
[06:43] <longwave> ah yeah kino only deals with DV camera formats
[06:43] <morpho> longwave: yep but the current version on the repository is 1.8.2
[06:43] <UpMarc> I want an editor for formats like those I mentioned....
[06:44] <morpho> longwave: i want to build 2.0.1
[06:44] <doll2> anyone who runs ubuntu server edition?
[06:44] <thaixstyle> sup people
[06:44] <thomaswfry> is there a kaeboard shortcut for switching between desktops ?
[06:44] <facugaich> UpMarc: jahshaka... www.jahshaka.org
[06:44] <chaddy> doll2: I do, but I haven't seen your problem before, sorry
[06:45] <doll2> chaddy: too bad
[06:45] <longwave> morpho: if there is no package you will have to figure out the deps yourself
[06:45] <chaddy> could look into 6.06.1, perhaps
[06:45] <meta_> hi all
[06:45] <longwave> morpho: the deps for gnucash 1.8 should be similar to 2.0 to give you a good start though
[06:45] <chaddy> o/ meta_

[06:58] <Shinzetsu> ^mythtv
[06:58] <dek_aik> Shinzetsu: try xlibs-dev
[06:58] <woodwizzle> longwave, is that an option for find?
[06:58] <Shinzetsu> I already have xlibs-dev
[06:58] <longwave> woodwizzle: yes, "man find" and check out the -exec switch
[06:58] <jolt> or installed the new version of electricsheep screensaver.. keeps complaining that libc6 is not a satisfyable dependancy even though libc6 is installed
[06:58] <thaixstyle> i guess i'll direct me inquiries to the forums...

[06:59] <DrBashir> mwe, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20389
[06:59] <ninogan> i need to format some of my disks what filesystem should i use?
[06:59] <jolt> At least gone are the days when i had a real hard time with an ATI card (we are talking Mach32 here) and even after editing xconfig, the thing was having issues and i got an RTFM...
[06:59] <dek_aik> Shinzetsu: try libxft2 maybe?
[06:59] <thomaswfry> is mythtv a quick install or do i need to grab some beer ?
[07:00] <slackie> hello
[07:00] <Shinzetsu> already have that aswell
[07:00] <chaddy> o/ slackie
[07:00] <Dr_Willis> mythtv can be rather complex.
[07:00] <santa99> hi i have problems with ntfs-3g
[07:00] <Dr_Willis> there should be some stand alone tv apps.
[07:00] <slackie> hi chaddy
[07:00] <Dr_Willis> I think even vlc can be used.
[07:00] <mrproper> Is Eft going to have XGL support?
[07:00] <dek_aik> Shinzetsu: are you compiling?
[07:00] <klees> how can i use an FSDevice link on my desktop???
[07:00] <thomaswfry> any other suggestions for a simpler tv watching experience ?
[07:00] <thomaswfry> really, i have vlc
[07:00] <chaddy> thomaswfry: cathode ray tube and a tuner
[07:01] <doug> i am trying to burn this to a disk and it keeps asking for a writable disk

[07:01] <thomaswfry> u mean a tv. thats the wife's, i have a computer LOL
[07:01] <santa99> mrproper, Dapper Drake supports XGL
[07:01] <mrproper> santa99, But without configuration, etc.
[07:01] <doll2> chaddy: it was 6.06.1 already. where can I find older server editions?
[07:01] <DrBashir> mwe, any feedback on that (http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20389)?
[07:01] <chaddy> doug: where are you, you might be best to get in touch with your local LUG and borrow a copy
[07:02] <doug> i am completely new to this
[07:02] <mwe> DrBashir: I'll look at it in a minute
[07:02] <santa99> mrproper, I don't think that xgl will get standard with edge eft
[07:02] <chaddy> LUG==linux users group
[07:02] <doug> i finally started using ubuntu when I got a high speed connection
[07:02] <mrproper> santa99, Because XGL on Dapper isn't going in too friendly for me.
[07:02] <Rictoo> is XGL the 3d cube thing? :p
[07:02] <DrBashir> mwe, ok, np, PM me though, because im having dinner right now ;)
[07:02] <mrproper> RichiH, Yeah
[07:02] <santa99> Rictoo, yeah
[07:03] <chaddy> doll2: google ubuntu server 6.06 download
[07:03] <mrproper> Rictoo, Yeah
[07:03] <Rictoo> So it doesn't work on Dapper?
[07:03] <santa99> mrproper, xgl should work well with Dapper
[07:03] <mrproper> santa99, Turns out it doesn't.
[07:03] <Rictoo> oh
[07:03] <santa99> Rictoo, oh of course it does
[07:03] <Rictoo> What's wrong with it?
[07:03] <Rictoo> i was thiking of getting it
[07:03] <santa99> mrproper, where do you have this from
[07:03] <chaddy> !xgl
[07:03] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems

[07:05] <woodwizzle> longwave, thanks the -exec switch was what i needed, but even its syntax was very odd. I had to add '{}' ; to the end to get it to work
[07:05] <mrproper> santa99, Have any knowledge of debugging X accel?
[07:05] <longwave> woodwizzle: yeah, thats what i meant about strange syntax, but as you can see it's very powerful as the {} can put a filename anywhere in the exec'd command
[07:05] <santa99> mrproper, no i only tested it short

[07:09] <slacker> to me this is .. really bad
[07:10] <txx2> ops, i mean, photo editor**
[07:10] <chaddy> slacker: ubuntu doesn't allow root login by default, so ssh allowing it is irrelevant
[07:10] <slacker> chaddy: but that's besides the point
[07:10] <stjepan> what's the wildcard (regexp) to search for stuff which begin with "vista"?? Is it "vista*" ?? pls help :(
[07:11] <slacker> if I change this, it suddenly allows root login
[07:11] <slacker> and that is bad
[07:11] <neutrinomass> txx2: Have you tried gthumb ? It comes with Ubuntu IIRC
[07:11] <slacker> stjepan: vista.*
[07:11] <txx2> neutrinomass,  ok, ill check it out
[07:11] <neutrinomass> txx2: Yes, it's part of a default install. You can also try f-spot
[07:11] <slacker> stjepan: or: \bvista.*\b

[07:18] <stjepan> chaddy, is it possible to use regular expressions when using beagle?
[07:18] <varsendaggr> hey does super karamba work with gnome  (   ie has anyone made it work
[07:19] <chaddy> never tried it, stjepan
[07:19] <stjepan> chaddy, I have a file named "Vistagrass.png" in my home directory
[07:19] <UpMarc> neenaonline: ty for the help... it may work... I have registered myself to their site (Jahshaka) and asked them what would be appropriate forme... waiting for the answer... ty again....
[07:19] <stjepan> chaddy, if I search for "vista" I get no results
[07:19] <stjepan> chaddy, if I search for "vistagrass" then I get

[07:19] <mnguyen> I am about to setup a new webserver (BIND, SENDMAIL, and LAMP) and I am trying to decide between Debian and Ubuntu 6.06 LTS. Why should I go with one or the other?
[07:20] <stjepan> chaddy, try for yourself
[07:20] <chaddy> debian==stability, ubuntu==ease of use, mnguyen
[07:20] <txx2> Kopete always tells me when someone signs on, and it's bugging me. Is there any way I am able to remove this notification?
[07:21] <lhds> what is metacity and how can i runn it
[07:21] <francesco_> metacity is the name of gnome's window manager
[07:21] <lhds> isnt that nautilus?
[07:21] <mnguyen> chaddy, but with the new LTS support... i was just curious if debian was any better
[07:22] <fissy> nautilus is the file manager and shows the desktop background
[07:22] <chaddy> debian is due another release, soonish, mnguyen
[07:22] <tbl> is there some kind of GUI for configuring ndiswrapper?
[07:22] <lhds> how can i run metacity than?
[07:22] <minerale> is there a cmd line based bittorrent client ? not curses based not gui... just basic cmd line
[07:22] <fissy> you're almost certainly running metacity already
[07:22] <imperfect-> is there a  way to use the text only install with a non-alternate disc?
[07:22] <fissy> it's not something you have to run yourself
[07:22] <lhds> okay
[07:22] <minerale> lhds, are you running kubuntu ?
[07:22] <mnguyen> chaddy, haha... for some reason the word soonish makes me chuckle
[07:22] <chaddy> lhds: ps aux|grep metacity, you probably already are
[07:22] <lhds> no gnome
[07:22] <AngryElf> is there an ubuntu samba server howto anywhere?
[07:22] <chaddy> ;-)
[07:23] <mnguyen> chaddy, i have just heard that from debian developers for so long
[07:23] <chaddy> I have the t-shirt, mnguyen, "Debian: good things come to those who... wait"
[07:24] <babis85> hello guys, i have a serious problem. i've just installed the xgl and after i tested i gave the command metacity --replace (or restore, i don't remember). That time the desktop manager closed unexpectedly and after that i can't login in graphics mode
[07:24] <ToHellWi1hGA> i would like to enable sound on a janky old IBM computer with an internal speaker.  the sound card was not automatically detected/enabled.  how can i find and enable it using the gnome "device manager" and terminal commands?
[07:24] <babis85> i restore the backup files but nothing happened
[07:25] <chaddy> tbl: apt-get install ndisgtk
[07:25] <babis85> after giving dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg i did it but the graphics don't seem well
[07:26] <babis85> for example, i can't move any window and all applications i open they cover it's other
[07:26] <tbl> chaddy, I can't connect to the internet :(
[07:27] <babis85> furthermore there are no icons for close or minimise-maximize
[07:27] <crofty> I am trying to find my thunderbird profile folder/directory on a secondary hard that has a corrupted version of ubuntu that will not boot , where is it?
[07:27] <tbl> well, not from ubuntu, anyway
[07:27] <chaddy> so you're here via carrier pigeon, tbl ? :-P
[07:27] <Okita> So my computer goes through the boot process and completes the status bar, and then stops on another status bar screen
[07:27] <tbl> chaddy: I'm here via Windows partition :(
[07:27] <chaddy> ah
[07:27] <babis85> the graphics seem old, such of versions mandrake 7
[07:27] <Okita> I can start x by going to ctrl+alt+1 and then logging ina the prompt
[07:27] <babis85> any idea?
[07:27] <tbl> chaddy: I'm almost tempted to buy a 100 ft ethernet cable ;)
[07:28] <Okita> Can anyone tel lme how I can find out where my computer is stopping
[07:28] <chaddy> expensive
[07:28] <tbl> heh yeah

[07:28] <K^Holtz> what is bonobo-activation-server running in my System Monitor?
[07:28] <chaddy> Okita: try ctrl-alt-f8 sometimes useful info there
[07:28] <GTX> Anyone know how to make the vmware window small? so all I see is the screen not any of the application
[07:28] <slacker> K^Holtz: ps -ef | grep bonobo
[07:29] <tbl> anyone else have a Dell wireless 1450 dual-band USB adapter?
[07:29] <seekHim> So.... I tried installing ubuntu on my laptop.  Fairly standard hardware, nothing out of the ordinary.  The install wouldn't go (gave out at the install menu, wouldn't do anything with any options), went to boot back into windows, won't boot.
[07:29] <chaddy> GTX: full screen or quick switch
[07:29] <slacker> K^Holtz: then use ptree to see which process started it
[07:29] <tbl> and got it to work with ndiswrapper?
[07:29] <GTX> chaddy, I dont like any of those options ;\
[07:29] <seekHim> lol Oh, and ubuntu doesn't support swap partitions....
[07:29] <Okita> chaddy: It's blank... would it be in a system log or something, or can I get a more verbose startup?
[07:30] <babis85> did anyone hear my question?
[07:30] <rupert> hello everybody, could you tell me the easiest way to synchronize installed packages on 2 computers ?
[07:30] <scipio_africanus> hello. could anyone who has opera media plugins working direct me to a guide that explains how to do it?
[07:30] <smacky_> ripper
[07:30] <rubuntus> Hi =) How do I install XServer on Ubuntu Server? I have installed FluxBox but when I try to start it it gives me the error: "ERROR: Couldn't connect to XServer"
[07:31] <babis85> rupert: i think that making a local repository is a good idea
[07:31] <IRCMonkeyX> hi, i wanna listen to a radio channel from internet, but it asks for windows media player, do i have a chance to listen to it ?
[07:31] <chaddy> rubuntus: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop will give you all of gnome and X
[07:31] <escobar5> hello, can someone help me with a compiz issue, i put a script to start compiz in the startup programs, but when i start the session instead metacity starts
[07:31] <rubuntus> chaddy: this is a low-end computer and i just want fluxbox, not gnome..
[07:31] <rupert> babis85: could you give my any internet address about it ?
[07:32] <seekHim> .... ubuntu can kiss my ass.  I'm not about to horse around with something on my main system that can't install on my laptop so that I can play with it.
[07:32] <K^Holtz> slacker: how do i use ptree?
[07:32] <eobanb> seekHim, troll much
[07:32] <chaddy> rubuntus: try apt-get install xdm
[07:32] <munsa>  seekhim ubuntu rocks man
[07:32] <seekHim> eobanb: Develope good, working software much?
[07:32] <munsa> im useing it on a laptop now
[07:32] <seekHim> munsa: It screwed up my laptop.
[07:32] <m06w> arg, this is stupid
[07:33] <ToHellWi1hGA> seekHim: i'd recommend trying a net installation.  the CD doesn't really do everything it needs to do
[07:33] <babis85> rupert: i would like to but i can't because i have a serious problem which does not let me open a single applicatioin
[07:33] <slacker> K^Holtz: ptree $pid
[07:33] <Necro> okay, so i followed Killz guide on Flash, but i still can't get my sound to work. when I get to the "chonw -R <un>:users /home/<username>/.macromedia" I get an "operatoion not permitted" error
[07:33] <m06w> i need to have a working wireless network to install the network manager
[07:33] <eobanb> seekHim, well maybe if you described the problem to us, we could help you
[07:33] <munsa> seekhim are you sure "IT" screwed up your laptop? or the person BEHIND the laptop screwed it up?
[07:33] <seekHim> eobanb: I believe I already have.
[07:33] <babis85> rupert: google for it and you definetely find it
[07:33] <Ghost_Printer> seekHim......you must be an ID10T as ubuntu works on all my deasktops and laptops
[07:33] <K^Holtz> slacker: bash: ptree: command not found
[07:33] <ToHellWi1hGA> do yall know how i could find and enable a sound card that wasn't found and enabled during setup from CD?
[07:33] <rupert> babis85: surely :-), but... is not any easier way to do it ?
[07:34] <nalioth> Ghost_Printer: please be civil
[07:34] <rupert> babis85: i mean... just export the list of packages that are installed one one computer and import in on the second ?
[07:34] <varsendaggr> hey what kind of TVcapture cards work for ubuntu?
[07:34] <rupert> babis85: nothing like this ?
[07:34] <slacker> K^Holtz: ok, appears ubuntu doesn't have ptree
[07:34] <Ghost_Printer> okay.........nalioth
[07:34] <slacker> K^Holtz: let me find an alternative
[07:34] <jolt> bt848 / connexiant is usually a good start
[07:35] <babis85> rupert: i don't know sth about that, but with the way i tell you  don't even have to download the package twice
[07:35] <UpMarc> 	does someone here knows a site for card game in internet, like Hearts, Spades...etc (not money games)?
[07:35] <chaddy> rupert: man dpkg, I think
[07:35] <slacker> chaddy: you seem to know everything
[07:35] <slacker> chaddy: ptree for ubuntu, a alternative, apt-cache cannot find it
[07:35] <dek_aik> ToHellWi1hGA: cant you find it with lspci -- |grep "audio"
[07:35] <rupert> babis85: download packages twice is not a problem for me
[07:36] <UpMarc> or where I could find someone who could?
[07:36] <chaddy> hmm, slacker I've only been using ubuntu about 2 months?
[07:36] <ToHellWi1hGA> dek_aik: thanks!  i was looking for a command but am not that clever
[07:36] <slacker> ahh ok :)
[07:36] <chaddy> slacker: pstree
[07:36] <rubuntus> chaddy: OK, now ive installed xdm, but i get the same error by trying to run fluxbox as a command, when running startx it gives me an "X: Cannot stat /etc/X11/X (No such file or directory), Aborting." and "xinit: Server error."
[07:36] <chaddy> ;-)
[07:36] <rupert> chaddy: do you guess ? or you are sure that it is possible with dpkg ?
[07:36] <K^Holtz> slacker: its ok, thanks for your help, i found what it does
[07:36] <chaddy> rubuntus: run xdm
[07:36] <babis85>  i've just installed the xgl and after i tested i gave the command metacity --replace (or restore, i don't remember). That time the desktop manager closed unexpectedly and after that i can't login in graphics mode.i restore the backup files but nothing happened. after giving dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg i did it but the graphics don't seem well.for example, i can't move any window and all applications i open they cover it's other.furthermore there are
[07:36] <babis85> no icons for close or minimise-maximize.the graphics seem old, such of versions mandrake 7.
[07:37] <K^Holtz> thanks for that command too chaddy
[07:37] <babis85> any idea, pleaseee
[07:37] <munsa> Does anyone know these games by POPCAP and GAMEHOUSE, ect?? they are all the timeon Yahoo puzzle games?
[07:37] <chaddy> guessing a bit, I know dpkg -l will give you a list of packages, not sure how you would feed that list back in to apt-get, though
[07:37] <dek_aik> ToHellWi1hGA: np..if it get detected during boot, the soundcard should be there
[07:37] <smacky_> i play games on pogo and yahoo
[07:37] <papo> hi. I just installed dapper on my notebook. When I run system->quite, I can only hibernate the box, but there is no way to suspend it. How can I enable the orange icon to suspend the laptop from the quit-dialog?
[07:37] <rubuntus> chaddy: "sudo xdm" makes it run and waiting for new commands..
[07:37] <chaddy> rupert: ^^
[07:37] <slacker> re dpkg --list to apt-get
[07:37] <mwe> startx is supposed to work
[07:38] <Shinzetsu> is it possible to reinstall xserver?
[07:38] <mwe> echo exec startfluxbox > ~/.xinitrc && start
[07:38] <slacker> try doing: for i in `dpkg --list | awk '{print $2}'` ; do ; echo $i ; done
[07:38] <rupert> chaddy: i know about dpkg -l but i also do not know how to use it? i do not want to write a script to do it
[07:38] <freebse> babis85: sorry no idea, bnut try this channel #ubuntu-xgl
[07:39] <mwe> Shinzetsu: yes. but what part of it? and why?
[07:39] <slacker> rupert: what do you want to do?
[07:39] <Shinzetsu> well Cedega cant seem to find xlibs
[07:39] <rupert> slacker: synchronizes installed packages on two computers
[07:39] <babis85> freebse: even that may help, thanks
[07:39] <m06w> can anyone help me with my wirelesscard?
[07:39] <slacker> ahhh
[07:39] <rupert> slacker: install on the second computer all packages that are installed on the first one
[07:39] <ToHellWi1hGA> dek_aik: my lspci output is here: http://thestonepedo.pastebin.ca/128056 (and i thought: awesome!  my pastebin is being spammed with viagra and cialis ads!)
[07:39] <slacker> rupert: you then want to do this: dpkg --list | awk '{print $2}' >> $file
[07:40] <slacker> then on the other box
[07:40] <babis85> hello guys, i need some help. i've just installed the xgl and after i tested i gave the command metacity --replace (or restore, i don't remember). That time the desktop manager closed unexpectedly and after that i can't login in graphics mode.i restore the backup files but nothing happened. after giving dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg i did it but the graphics don't seem well.for example, i can't move any window and all applications i open they cover it's
[07:40] <rubuntus> chaddy: still same error on startx, but now its also saying "giving up", "xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server", and "xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error."
[07:40] <Shinzetsu> mve: Cedega needs xlibs
[07:40] <babis85>  other.furthermore there are. no icons for close or minimise-maximize.the graphics seem old, such of versions mandrake 7.
[07:40] <slacker> rupert: for i in `cat $file` ; do ; sudo aptitude install $i ; done
[07:40] <babis85> sorry wrong channel
[07:40] <slacker> ow.. one mistake
[07:41] <munsa> Oh hey! I was wondering, does anyone here know what this thing is :: Its like an embedded system monitor, it is on the desktop, shows the CPU speed and stuff like that, its like stuck to your desktop BG i saw it on Damn Small Linux and some other distros anyone know what the app is calleD?
[07:41] <slacker> rupert: to get all installed packages do this: dpkg --list | grep "^ii" | awk '{print $2}' >> $file
[07:41] <longwave> munsa: gkrellm?
[07:41] <MuLLeR> is there a switch .. to do a text-mode install without booting to desktop?
[07:41] <rupert> slacker: it will work but.. it will run aptitue 2000 times ...
[07:41] <munsa> i dunno
[07:41] <dek_aik> ToHellWi1hGA: I dont see any audio device..it is not detected im afraid
[07:41] <sahasrara> can i use a cisco router/modem to get online with dialup on kubuntu?
[07:41] <munsa> lemme google for it
[07:41] <chaddy> rubuntus: not sure, sorry
[07:41] <sahasrara> i found one for $10 online
[07:41] <slacker> rupert: I know
[07:42] <ToHellWi1hGA> dek_aik: what if it isn't pci?  it is on-board sound
[07:42] <rupert> slacker: I know that you know, and we both know that it is not cool :-)
[07:42] <munsa> long its pretty cool, it is ljust like system information that is stuck to your desktop
[07:42] <chaddy> munsa: conky
[07:42] <Shinzetsu> mwe: Cedega cant find xlibs
[07:42] <ToHellWi1hGA> in the gnome "device manager" i see "AT-style speaker sound"
[07:42] <Shinzetsu> mwe: needs*
[07:42] <munsa> chaddy its called conky?
[07:42] <malefactor> Hi guys. Does LILO loader support choosing the OS to load? I've installed Ubuntu along with LILO, and it was booting me directly into Linux, despite that I have WinXP...
[07:42] <mwe> Shinzetsu: you don't wanna reinstall Xorg for that.
[07:42] <slacker> rupert: then define one var: INSTALL="" and within the for loop do INSTALL='$INSTALL $i'
[07:42] <chaddy> I have one called conky which matches your description, munsa
[07:43] <Shinzetsu> mwe: well how do I get xlibs?
[07:43] <ateoh211> malefactor: yes
[07:43] <dek_aik> ToHellWi1hGA: the onboard should get detected too..are u sure there is one?
[07:43] <Shinzetsu> mwe: everyone tells me it comes with xorg
[07:43] <mwe> Shinzetsu: sudo aptitude install libxx-dev
[07:43] <slacker> rupert: and then aptitude install $INSTALL
[07:43] <mwe> Shinzetsu: libx11-dev*
[07:43] <malefactor> ateoh211: where do I configure it? I found nothing configurable in '/boot'
[07:43] <longwave> malefactor: at the lilo boot: prompt you will have to type the name you set up for the Windows partition in your lilo config
[07:43] <thaixstyle> Automatix vs EasyUbuntu...which is better?  Which do you prefer? (general question directed towards everyone)
[07:43] <slacker> this should make it work with one aptitude startup :)
[07:43] <ToHellWi1hGA> dek_aik: i am.  it is an internal speaker that plays by default and has rear connectors for actual speakers and a microphone
[07:43] <ateoh211> malefactor: 99% of config happen in /etc/
[07:43] <rupert> slacker: I wonder what aptitude will say when it meet a list of 2000 packages to install :-)
[07:43] <Shinzetsu> mwe: I have the latest
[07:44] <minerale> I have the bittorrent package installed in my system... does anyone know how to use it? there's no man page
[07:44] <m06w> how do i make my wireless card try to connect with WPA instead of WEP
[07:44] <slacker> rupert: I don't now
[07:44] <mwe> Shinzetsu: the -dev package?
[07:44] <slacker> know
[07:44] <ateoh211> malefactor: look for /etc/lilo.conf
[07:44] <rubuntus> Hi =) How do I install XServer on Ubuntu Server? I have installed FluxBox but when I try to start it it gives me the error: "ERROR: Couldn't connect to XServer", I've also tried installing xdm, but it dont help.. What packages is the minimal i need to install to get X and fluxbox up and running?
[07:44] <munsa> chaddy, yup thats it. is it in the repo?
[07:44] <slacker> rupert: I did it quick and dirty
[07:44] <Shinzetsu> mwe: yes
[07:44] <chaddy> should be, munsa
[07:44] <malefactor> ateoh211, alright, thanks
[07:44] <longwave> minerale: look in /usr/share/doc/bittorrent
[07:44] <ateoh211> malefactor: np
[07:44] <rupert> slacker: did you use the first way you told me ?
[07:44] <slacker> rupert: yes
[07:45] <rupert> slacker: how much time did it take ?
[07:45] <Okita> It still doesn't get to kdm, which system log should I check?
[07:45] <slacker> rupert: don't know
[07:45] <dek_aik> ToHellWi1hGA: sorry, no idea...open the case as a last resort, i presume..:)
[07:45] <longwave> minerale: also, there is a man page, try "man bittorrent-downloader"
[07:45] <Shinzetsu> mwe: when I try install cedega it says 'package xlibs (>1.4.0) isnt installed'
[07:45] <Okita> It just sits at an empty status bar
[07:45] <slacker> some things were interactive, I didn't use the -y flag
[07:45] <ateoh211> malefactor: sorry, should have remined you... man lilo
[07:45] <malefactor> And another thing - is there a .deb package of pptpclient? Some guy told me yesterday he installed it from .deb, but I found nothing but .tar.gz and .rpm.
[07:45] <chaddy> less time than it takes a gentoo system to compile itself, I'll wager
[07:45] <magus_x> who here runs hamachi on linux?
[07:45] <ToHellWi1hGA> thanks for trying dek_aik.  i'll keep digging
[07:45] <slacker> rupert: think an hour or so in total
[07:45] <malefactor> ateoh211, thanks again
[07:45] <munsa> chaddy, hehe n ow that it is installed... any idea how to get it to work?
[07:45] <munsa> haha
[07:45] <Shinzetsu> mwe: when I try apt-get install xlibs it says unavailable and then it gives me something about libxltf (did that and doesnt exist) and xorg-keyboardconfig (already have it)
[07:45] <mwe> Shinzetsu: then install xlibs-dev
[07:46] <BeBraw> does someone have dlink dwl-122 working in dapper drake?
[07:46] <Shinzetsu> mwe: got it too
[07:46] <chaddy> munsa: conky -h or conky --help
[07:46] <rupert> slacker: oh... I thought it would take hours...
[07:46] <mwe> Shinzetsu: then cedega is broken
[07:46] <rupert> slacker: many hours...
[07:46] <ateoh211> Shinzetsu:  aptitude update  then try again
[07:46] <slacker> rupert: it also depends on you internet connection
[07:46] <chaddy> munsa: may not work in gnome, I only use it in fluxbox
[07:46] <slacker> rupert: I got 20Mbit down, so it went pretty quick
[07:46] <rupert> slacker: so... let's tray to do it now I got 2,5
[07:47] <slacker> :)
[07:47] <chaddy> rubuntus: you could always just apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and not use gnome, I know that works
[07:47] <rupert> slacker: and there are 800 packages more on the first machine
[07:47] <slacker> rupert: some packages are already installed
[07:47] <dek_aik> Shinzetsu: just a shot, u get libxft-dev as well?
[07:47] <devi0s> i have a really weird hdd (maybe?) issue was hoping to run by someone that had been in the business of hardware problem troubleshooting for a long time.  would greatly appreciate a query if this is you and you have a few minutes to assist me with a tricky one
[07:47] <longwave> rubuntus: you will need at least the xserver-xorg package to get an X server
[07:47] <spanglesontoast> is slid3r here ?
[07:48] <longwave> !ask
[07:48] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:48] <slacker> rupert: I did a diff between the two systems, maybe do the same, and save you some time
[07:48] <ateoh211> devi0s: just ask the question
[07:48] <Shinzetsu> dek_aik: yep
[07:48] <Shinzetsu> ateoh211: tried update, didnt work
[07:48] <devi0s> it's more like a story....  so here goes
[07:48] <spanglesontoast> well I need some dev tools
[07:48] <m_tadeu> hi everyone
[07:48] <rupert> slacker: I thought about it, but now i want to try installing packages step by step
[07:49] <slacker> hi
[07:49] <longwave> rupert: check out the get-selections and set-selections flags for dpkg if you are trying to get two boxes to have the same package set installed
[07:49] <devi0s> i have two hdds in my comp on pri ide channel - one master one slave
[07:49] <Gasten> Hi. I have installed a number of partitions on a slave-hdd (hdb). How do I change so I don't need root?
[07:49] <ateoh211> devi0s: you shouldn't tell stories...ask questions :-)
[07:49] <slacker> rupert: what you want :)
[07:49] <devi0s> if I reboot my computer, i hear the hdd arm click (not sure in which drive), and os load hangs.
[07:49] <devi0s> but
[07:49] <dasos> Anyone know how to stop an IM window from flashing in the panel? i click on it but it still flashes like i haven't switched over
[07:49] <rupert> longwave: thanks for the advice, i did not change the default settings
[07:49] <devi0s> if i reset at this point it clicks again and hangs
[07:49] <m_tadeu> i'm trying to boot with a ubuntu cd...altered in the bios to boot from it, but it loads windows anyway
[07:49] <dasos> when using gaim
[07:49] <devi0s> but if i power off powersupply
[07:49] <m_tadeu> can anyone help?
[07:50] <devi0s> and turn system back on, it works fine
[07:50] <ateoh211> Gasten: that doesn't make sense.  you always need root
[07:50] <CAsurfer> Could somebody help me? I'm trying to boot dapper across a network using pxe and a cdrom on the server machine.  Everything works fine except that I can't get the installer to recognize the server's cdrom as a valid mirror.
[07:50] <devi0s> once in a while while os loaded, ill hear that dreaded click, and os will lock up
[07:50] <longwave> devi0s: try unplugging the slave drive and see if it does the same thing, then you can figure out which drive is causing the problem
[07:50] <devi0s> then i have to turn off powersupply and turn it back on
[07:50] <devi0s> and it works
[07:50] <neutrinomass> devi0s: Hard drive is about to fail
[07:50] <Okita> So does anyone know how I could find out why my computer isn't getting to t alogin screen?
[07:51] <longwave> devi0s: it sounds like your hardware is failing somewhere, maybe the hd or maybe the motherboard/ide controller
[07:51] <ateoh211> devi0s: back up your data and replace the drive
[07:51] <devi0s> i *think* i know which one it is...  BUT... it doesn't do the above every time
[07:51] <devi0s> just most times
[07:51] <neutrinomass> devi0s: Try looking for weird stuff at the end of the 'dmesg' . At any rate backup everything immediately (mine failed 1 week after the first click )
[07:51] <ateoh211> devi0s: hardware=cheep data=expensive
[07:51] <bubbles> hi
[07:51] <devi0s> understood....
[07:51] <devi0s> here's the really weird one
[07:51] <bubbles> is there an text-only installer for dapper desktop too?
[07:51] <neutrinomass> devi0s: Yeah, I thought it was fixed as well - it stopped clicking for two days at some point.
[07:51] <Gasten> ateoh211: But if I don't wanna?
[07:52] <devi0s> both drives have done this
[07:52] <bubbles> my laptop always hangs up during installation
[07:52] <devi0s> i think my comp having a problem with slave disk
[07:52] <neutrinomass> bubbles: Yes... the "install"/"alternate" CD
[07:52] <devi0s> regarless of hdd health
[07:52] <chaddy> bubbles: old laptop?
[07:52] <bubbles> no, not that old
[07:52] <longwave> devi0s: it may be a problem with the ide controller on your motherboard, or maybe your power supply is not quite good enough to run two drives?
[07:52] <bubbles> averatec 6200
[07:52] <varsendaggr> anyone have a TV card?
[07:52] <devi0s> power supply is like a 550w from good company...
[07:52] <bubbles> [19:52:16]  <neutrinomass> bubbles: Yes... the "install"/"alternate" CD  <-- do i have to download a extra cd?
[07:53] <devi0s> think it's the ide controller
[07:53] <ateoh211> Mewshi: has nightmares about the click of death
[07:53] <devi0s> ?
[07:53] <CAsurfer> Could somebody help me? I'm trying to boot dapper across a network using pxe and a cdrom on the server machine.  Everything works fine except that I can't get the installer to recognize the server's cdrom as a valid mirror.
[07:53] <longwave> devi0s: number of watts doesn't matter, it's how many amps it puts out on each rail that counts
[07:53] <chaddy> you could try installing xubuntu, bubbles, if that works apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[07:53] <devi0s> more likely ide controller than ide cable?
[07:53] <devi0s> it's a really good power supply
[07:53] <longwave> devi0s: well, could be the cable too, cable is cheaper to replace :)
[07:53] <m06w> can anyone help me with my wirelesscard?
[07:54] <bubbles> well i had no problems with breezy... doesn't dapper have any way to use text-installer?
[07:54] <ateoh211> devi0s: I may have missed a second question, but if you are referring to the click, it's not power related
[07:54] <longwave> bubbles: download the alternate cd to have a text installer
[07:54] <ateoh211> ...mechanical failure on the drive head
[07:54] <rubuntus> longwave: Ok, now I've installed xserver-xorg, but when trying to run "startx" it fails, giving me errors of it cant open /dev/wacom and some fonts, then it says: "Fatal server error:", "could not open default font 'fixed'", "XIO: fatal IO error 104 (connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining."
[07:54] <Bobakitoo> hi
[07:54] <devi0s> would faulty ide controller or cable cause that click?
[07:54] <chaddy> some of my install media has text-installer, some of it doesn't, bubbles, not sure which ones do
[07:55] <bubbles> well downloading an extra cd just for a text-installer sucks - especially when you have a traffic limit -.-
[07:55] <Bobakitoo> anyone know if ubuntu x86 work in apple x86 hardware?
[07:55] <longwave> rubuntus: you need some of the xfonts packages installed too
[07:55] <ateoh211> devi0s: it is the drive head.  check http://howstuffworks.com and search hard drives
[07:55] <longwave> rubuntus: is there any reason you can't just install one of the -desktop packages to get all the dependencies?
[07:55] <chaddy> bubbles: google ubuntu shipit
[07:55] <babis85> rupert: are u there?
[07:55] <bubbles> well that's going to take a month at least
[07:55] <rupert> slacker|food: but there is no ";" after "do"
[07:56] <rupert> babis85: yes i am
[07:56] <rubuntus> longwave: its a low-end computer with limited resources and hard-drive..
[07:56] <longwave> rubuntus: what about xubuntu? that's what it's designed for..
[07:56] <klees> is there a newsticker in Gnome?
[07:56] <klees> like Knewsticker?
[07:56] <chaddy> rubuntus: apt-get xubuntu-desktop is probably your best bet
[07:56] <longwave> rubuntus: installing xubuntu-desktop then remove xfce and install fluxbox instead if you want that, probably will be easiest
[07:56] <babis85> rupert: you can check that http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/repository-howto/repository-howto
[07:57] <ateoh211> devi0s: actually, google 'click of death'
[07:57] <rupert> babis85: ok, thanks, i will read it
[07:57] <rubuntus> longwave: I also want to learn a little more of how a distro is built, so just taking 2 flies in one smack :)
[07:58] <zetor> Hi!
[07:58] <chaddy> o/ zetor
[07:58] <rubuntus> longwave: but do you know the names of the xfont packages?
[07:59] <PierreTramo> hi! i'm running etchy and still get the same error in syslog when trying to pair to my bluetooth devices:
[07:59] <PierreTramo> Aug 12 19:55:12 localhost hcid[11726] : call_passkey_agent(): no agent registered
[07:59] <klerfayt> if xset m 0 disables mouse acceleration, then what does xset m 0 0?
[07:59] <PierreTramo> any idea?
[07:59] <chaddy> rubuntus: best thing is apt-get install xubuntu-desktop then apt-cache seatch xfont
[07:59] <CAsurfer> thingy: I've been using this guide, and it's good, but it doesn't seem to be right when it comes to mounting and booting off the cd
[07:59] <iogamodus> hy
[07:59] <chaddy> s/atc/arc
[08:00] <longwave> rubuntus: there are quite a few, "apt-cache search xfonts" to see them
[08:00] <rubuntus> chaddy: apt-cache search was the commend i was looking for :) i forgot it :P
[08:00] <EmxBA> does anyone know where are cursors located in xfce? which directory?
[08:00] <chaddy> no worries, there are thousands of the fsckers, rubuntus
[08:00] <finfe> that's interesting, the nick I chose was already chosen by someone else
[08:00] <devi0s> ateoh211: yes, but could a faulty controller or cable cause the drive to lock up and make that head click noise?
[08:00] <neutrinomass> EmxBA: The peeps in #xubuntu will probably know ...
[08:00] <finfe> never happened before...
[08:01] <EmxBA> ok ;)
[08:01] <longwave> devi0s: the click noise is sometimes just the drive resetting, so that could be caused by the drive itself, the cable, the controller or the power supply
[08:01] <rubuntus> longwave: what was the command for scrolling trough lots of input in console?
[08:01] <ferbombo> i
[08:02] <chaddy> |less rubuntus
[08:02] <longwave> rubuntus: you can pipe it to less, so "apt-cache search foo | less" will let you scroll up and down with the cursor keys
[08:02] <PierreTramo> rubuntus: ctrl + pgup/pgdown ?
[08:02] <quux> ##windows
[08:02] <Bobakitoo> do i need apple boot camp to isntall ubunto on apple x86 hardware?
[08:02] <quux> sorry. wrong window
[08:02] <PierreTramo> rubuntus: sorry, maj+pgup/pgdown
[08:02] <rubuntus> longwave: i mean output of course, i remember i pressed a button and the next chunk of output was displayed..
[08:02] <rubuntus> PierreTramo: maj?
[08:02] <ateoh211> devi0s: no.  it's purley mechanical.  think of a broken axel on a car.  the engine driving the car is still good, but you still cannot drive.
[08:02] <rupert> just one another question, where it the file that sets up the real terminal, i mean this one that is showed when you press alt + ctrl + F1, I wanted to change the size of font and number of lines ?
[08:02] <PierreTramo> rubuntus: shift, sorry
[08:02] <longwave> rubuntus: "apt-cache search foo | more" will do that
[08:03] <PierreTramo> rubuntus: i'm french ;)
[08:03] <longwave> rubuntus: but "less" is better because it lets you scroll back up as well :)
[08:03] <rubuntus> PierreTramo: longwave: Ok, thanks =)
[08:03] <ateoh211> rubuntus: or | less    (less is more, more or less)
[08:03] <jared_> Hey, i'm wanting to shrink my linux partition and put windows on another partition, what is the minimum ubuntu disk space?
[08:04] <rupert> jared_: it it written that 2gb
[08:04] <longwave> jared_: 2Gb for an absolute minimum install, you probably want a bit more than that though
[08:04] <chaddy> jared_: a lot easier to put windows on first then put ubuntu on
[08:04] <rupert> jared_: but i prefer more...
[08:04] <jared_> do y'all know the minimum for windows?
[08:05] <rupert> jared_: I am using now 4,5 gb
[08:05] <jared_> okay
[08:05] <jared_> i have a 10g hd and until i get my new hd, i'm screwed
[08:05] <rupert> jared_: I understand
[08:05] <tredlig> what version of gtk does ubuntu use?
[08:06] <nxvl> hi
[08:06] <finfe> hi
[08:06] <finfe> that's a quite busy channel
[08:06] <nxvl> how do i save my installed programs and configurations on an external USB flash using Ubuntu Live CD??
[08:06] <finfe> I'm impressed
[08:06] <pc22> how do i change permission in ext3 partition?
[08:06] <lophyte> anyone know if there's a way to prevent someone from popping a ubuntu rescue CD into your system, booting it and changing your system password?
[08:06] <chaddy> tredlig: 2.0 as far as I can see
[08:07] <ateoh211> pc22: man chown  and man chmod
[08:07] <tredlig> thanks
[08:07] <rupert> Is there any way to run a programme from script and set up before on which virtual-desktop it will be showed ?
[08:07] <meeko> How do you enable the universe packages?
[08:07] <gnomefreak> !repos
[08:07] <lophyte> !repo

[08:07] <chaddy> nxvl: it's a bit complicated, buy O'reilly's ubuntu hacks is my best advice
[08:07] <malefactor> Guys, where do I get the pptpclient .deb (!) package?
[08:07] <rubuntus> longwave: chaddy: PierreTramo: Thanks a lot, now I got it working :)
[08:08] <PierreTramo> rubuntus: my pleasure
[08:08] <ateoh211> malefactor: if you have installed in recently  "updatedb"  then "locate pptpclient*.deb
[08:08] <ToHellWi1hGA> i would like to get my "crystal audio" onboard sound card working with ubuntu.  how can i find its address and setup alsa to use it?
[08:08] <minerale> whoa, this is am ajor bug in ubuntu, I just downloaded kubuntu-desktop, it added abunch of stuff to my system... I did not like it so I removed it: apt-get remove kubnutu-desktop and only 44kb was erased
[08:08] <tredlig> !theme
[08:08] <ubotu> Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://kdelook.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuEyeCandy
[08:09] <minerale> all the kde packages are still there
[08:09] <finfe> minerale: that's not the way to uninstall it
[08:09] <Mitrovarr> yeah, stuff like kubuntu-desktop doesn't mass-uninstall
[08:09] <malefactor> ateoh211, does that requre a working Internet connection?
[08:09] <ateoh211> malefactor: should be in /var/cache/apt or comething like that
[08:09] <ToHellWi1hGA> minerale: did you try "sudo apt-get remove --purge kubuntu-desktop"?
[08:09] <rupert> minerale: cos it is a virutal package ?
[08:09] <nxvl> lophyte: put a password on the BIOS
[08:09] <finfe> minerale: follow this howto: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome.php
[08:09] <nxvl> chaddy: and where can i found they?
[08:10] <ateoh211> malefactor: no, it does not
[08:10] <rupert> minerale: that is the reason to use aptitude
[08:10] <chaddy> good bookstores, or you could google
[08:10] <lophyte> nxvl: thats it?
[08:10] <Mitrovarr> hey, I'm trying to rip cds to mp3s with sound-juicer, and for some reason the files it produces are horribly mangled (10x larger than they should be, don't work).  Anyone do it successfully?
[08:10] <malefactor> ateoh211, so, it's somewhere in my system? O.o
[08:10] <chaddy> Mitrovarr: 10x bigger, are they .wav files?
[08:11] <nxvl> lophyte: yes, y configure your bios to NOT to boot from anything but the HD, you put a password and there is no way to boot a Live or rescue CD
[08:11] <Mitrovarr> Could be, but they don't seem to play in anything
[08:11] <ateoh211> malefactor: yes, if it is installed, the deb will be in cache unless you run "apt-get clean" or aptitude clean
[08:11] <srikanthssn> can someone plz give solution for ubuntu resolution prob on ati radeon express.... still on 640*480 resol.. couldnt change
[08:11] <chaddy> srikanthssn: install ati proprietary drivers
[08:11] <rupert> nxvl: you can restart bios when you turn off the battery
[08:11] <frogzoo> !fixres > srikanthssn
[08:12] <srikanthssn> chaddy : i did tat but still..
[08:12] <nxvl> rupert: u put a key on the case
[08:12] <malefactor> ateoh211, I have no clue whether it was installed or not - all I know is there's no 'pptp' binary in my '/usr/sbin', so, I need to get the pptpclient somewhere...
[08:12] <minerale> rupert: what else does aptitude improve on ?
[08:12] <chaddy> srikanthssn: aticonfig --initial
[08:13] <ateoh211> malefactor: sorry, did not understand the original question.  apt-cache search pptp  should find it's name, apt-get install 'package name'
[08:13] <finfe> minerale: did you follow my link?
[08:13] <Mitrovarr> chaddy:  They don't play in anything, not even when renamed to .wav, so I don't think so.
[08:13] <ateoh211> malefactor: that does require internet unless you have a cd for your /etc/apt/sources.lst
[08:13] <rupert> minerale: aptitude save dependeces when you install a packages, so when you remove this package apti know which packages was dependent and should be removed also
[08:14] <chaddy> -->shower
[08:14] <nxvl> so
[08:14] <malefactor> ateoh211, okay, let me ask another way: is there a 'pptpclient*.deb' on the Ubuntu 6.06 DVD release, anywhere?
[08:14] <nxvl> where can i found information on configuring a LiveCD to load configuration from a USB Key
[08:14] <Daiferas> Hi, I'm having some problems with Ekiga and the NAT setup. I'm a newbie and don't understand the port forwarding process. Could anyone guide me through it?
[08:14] <Mitrovarr> guess I'll try another cd-ripping app, maybe the KDE one.
[08:15] <nxvl> i have heard there is some way to do that
[08:15] <minerale> finfe: yeah, thank you for that, I was impressed because it said in the first sentence that aptitude fixed the need for that
[08:15] <ateoh211> malefactor: I am unsure of that ...you should be able to pop the cd in and search for the package on the cd.  you may have to mount the cd first
[08:16] <finfe> minerale: well, you have to install pakages with aptitude in order to uninstall them with aptitude properly
[08:16] <malefactor> ateoh211, okay. But I'm on Win now, and the goal is to find that pptpclient .deb package anywhere on the Net, because I need it to establish the Internet connection on my Linux... so, I won't be able to use any remote repositories from there.
[08:17] <minerale> rupert: just playing devil's advocate; but let's say I install kubuntu-desktop using aptitude, then decide to remove the bluetooth package from kde, will aptitude force the removal of the entire kde package and its dependencies ?
[08:17] <ateoh211> dpkg --purge 'package name'  will uninstall packages .  caution:  man 'dpkg' before using it
[08:17] <finfe> Daiferas: do you know how to access your router's settings?
[08:17] <ateoh211> malefactor: the cd should be readable under windows
[08:18] <malefactor> ateoh211, ok, will try to find on cd (dvd, but bleh)...
[08:18] <Daiferas> finfe: I'm at my dad's for now, he'd have to do that. If it's too complicated, I wouldn't want to bother, because I won't be using it here. My only real worry is that I'll encounter the same problem at college in a week.
[08:18] <rupert> minerale: i do not suppose
[08:18] <ion> I have to format my pc but I can't do it, this happen after I install ubunty lts
[08:18] <finfe> you need to access your router's settings and set the ports to forward
[08:18] <finfe> it's not difficult at all if you have access to i
[08:18] <finfe> y
[08:19] <finfe> it*
[08:19] <santa99> he guys i have great problems with ntfs-3g
[08:19] <rupert> minerale: reade about it , i have got a lot of space on my disc so i do not remove packages
[08:19] <crofty> how do i make folders that are prefixed with a full stop eg .mozilla-thunderbird  , visible to the file explorer
[08:19] <Daiferas> finfe: that's it?
[08:19] <rupert> minerale: i install them cos i want to use them, so there is no reason to remove
[08:19] <finfe> yes
[08:19] <rupert> minerale: for me :-)
[08:19] <ateoh211> malefactor:  the best way is to add the cd to /etc/apt/sources.lst .  that way it will actually install(chances are , there are dependecies)
[08:19] <Daiferas> thanks a bunch. I'll try it out :)
[08:19] <finfe> at least on my router, but I guess it's not that different on other routers
[08:19] <Mitrovarr> crofty:  View -> Show Hidden Files
[08:19] <petr> hello
[08:19] <Daiferas> I'll ask him then. thanks again!
[08:19] <rupert> minerale: but i know that apti has this feature that we talked about and is better that apt-get
[08:19] <finfe> ok
[08:20] <finfe> you're welcome
[08:20] <ion> so what I can do ...?
[08:20] <santa99> is here somebody who knows ntfs-3g very well ?
[08:20] <crofty> mitrovarr :thx that was easy did not see for looking
[08:20] <malefactor> ateoh211, what is that /etc/apt/sources.lst itself? what is it used for?
[08:20] <ateoh211> ion: anything you put your mind to ... if your smart like me :-)
[08:20] <BusMaster> hi..I'm using dapper drake and after startup, I generally use evolution, firefox, gaim and xmms.  Isuspect somewhere my system is leaking memory because after some time, the swap becomes full and the pc slows down to a crawl. I have 384 mb ram and the same system worked perfectly on debian and ubuntu breezy. how do I start fixing the problem?
[08:21] <finfe> firefox?
[08:21] <longwave> BusMaster: it is likely to be firefox as that does have known memory issues
[08:21] <Mitrovarr> bad firefox extensions are the most likely culprit
[08:21] <finfe> try using Swiftfox
[08:21] <ion> ateoh211: we know each other ? :) I don't know if I'm smart like you ....:)
[08:21] <finfe> it works better for me
[08:21] <Mitrovarr> firefox itself doesn't leak much but some of the extensions... oh man
[08:21] <BusMaster> longwave: Mitrovarr : is there a way to pinpoint the issue?
[08:22] <ateoh211> malefactor: it is a list of package repositories (sources for packages).  point apt to packages
[08:22] <longwave> BusMaster: you can also run "ps aux" and look for big numbers in the VSZ column, those are the things that are eating your memory
[08:22] <|thunder> this is really frustrating, the native ra2500 driver that shhips with ubuntu only works with my card up to 1Mbps. And ndiswrapper is worthless. wtf
[08:22] <Mitrovarr> BusMaster:  Disable extensions one by one and see which one fixes it?
[08:22] <ateoh211> malefactor: man apt, man apt-get, man aptitude
[08:22] <malefactor> thanks
[08:22] <malefactor> ateoh211: is 'pptp-linux_1.7.0-1ubuntu1_i386.deb' that what I'm looking for?
[08:22] <BusMaster> Mitrovarr: yeah..thats a logical step, but will take a long time
[08:23] <Mitrovarr> BusMaster:  Rare or unpopular extensions should be tested first, they are more likely to be badly coded or have severe leaks
[08:23] <BusMaster> Mitrovarr: i am not using any extensions beyond the default set loaded by dapper
[08:23] <ateoh211> malefactor: possibly.  I don't remember what you were looking for
[08:23] <Mitrovarr> BusMaster:  Oh.  I doubt it's too likely then.
[08:23] <finfe> Why not opening a section of "tested" firefox extensions?
[08:23] <malefactor> ateoh211: Looking for pptpclient package
[08:23] <santa99> anybody here knows how to mount a usb device with ntfs-3g
[08:24] <finfe> that would be really handy
[08:24] <longwave> finfe: if you have the time and resources, start one yourself ;)
[08:24] <finfe> lol
[08:24] <finfe> I'm not really experienced
[08:24] <Mitrovarr> BusMaster:  You could always switch to opera temporarily.  You won't miss much if you don't use custom extensions, and that'll show if firefox is the problem or not.
[08:24] <finfe> but I guess I could start
[08:24] <longwave> BusMaster: restart firefox when you get this slowdown problem and see if that fixes it
[08:24] <ion> ateoh211: do u think that lts had changed my boot sequence.. ?
[08:24] <longwave> BusMaster: if it does, you know firefox is the culprit
[08:24] <bigbill52a> I had some problems with wireless, but I am wondering if the problem came from having two active connections with the same channel, provider, etc...i changed the channel for one of these connections and will try kubuntu again at that computer
[08:25] <finfe> I have solved my problems using Swiftfox instead of Firefox anyway
[08:25] <finfe> It has a better performance
[08:25] <bigbill52a> santa99..is the device formatted with ntfs..?
[08:25] <santa99> bigbill52a, yeah
[08:25] <ateoh211> malefactor: looks like it.  http://svn.synchroedit.com/client
[08:26] <bigbill52a> you should just be able to plug it in and it will find it
[08:26] <|thunder> bigbill52a, 2 wireless cards or ethernet cards should both be able to connect to an AP simultaniously as they both have different MAC addresses.
[08:26] <bigbill52a> you will be able to read the device but wont be able to write to it
[08:26] <hyperactivecrond> santa99: mkdir /media/sda1; mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 -t ntfs -o uid=<yourusernamehere>
[08:26] <ateoh211> malefactor: sorry, wrong link http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-debian.phtml
[08:26] <morpho> hi all does anyone have tested gnucash 2.0
[08:27] <bruenig> does anyone know how to stop firefox from crashing when I view flash videos. It doesn't crash immediately. Generally, I can watch them but then if I try to move on to another page or close the tab it is in or make any other browser related move, firefox locks up and I have to force it to quit.
[08:27] <santa99> hyperactivecrond, i want to mount it with ntfs-3g because i want to write on it
[08:27] <hyperactivecrond> !tell santa99 about ntfs
[08:27] <BusMaster> longwave: firefox, gnome trash applet and nautlius show high values in VSZ afre ps aux
[08:27] <lhds> how to install metacity themes under ubuntu?
[08:27] <hyperactivecrond> santa99: oh..
[08:27] <hyperactivecrond> bruenig: which version of firefox?
[08:27] <santa99> hyperactivecrond, I totally aware of mounting and everything I only have a problem to mount the external disk with ntfs-3g
[08:28] <Xarces> is there good no solitaire mahjong game for linux?
[08:28] <finfe> lhds: System > preferences > thems
[08:28] <bigbill52a> santa99   mount -tntfs /dev/sda1 /media/sda1
[08:28] <finfe> themes*
[08:28] <finfe> lhds: then select "install"
[08:28] <santa99> bigbill52a, so this only mounts with the normal ntfs drivers
[08:28] <bruenig> 1.5.0.3
[08:28] <finfe> and pick you tar.gz package
[08:28] <bigbill52a> you can reformat the device fat32 and then read and write to it
[08:28] <santa99> bigbill52a,  mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 doesn't work
[08:28] <hlabs> any one know if there is an IE clone for edubuntu
[08:29] <hlabs> sorry i meant that for Ubuntu
[08:29] <zipper_> I have trouble with my soundcard. The speakers doesnt work at all, and when i plug in my headphones i can hear the sound, but it's very low and distorted. I have an asus a6r laptop, and i've used this guide for installing the driver : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76307. Any hints on what could be wrong?
[08:29] <scipio_africanus> has anyone made mplayer plugin work in opera? i could use some help
[08:29] <finfe> hlabs: you can actually install IE6
[08:29] <BusMaster> finfe: i'll try swiftfox too..I happen to run an amd athlon xp
[08:29] <bigbill52a> try -tntfs
[08:29] <Mitrovarr> IE can be run in wine
[08:29] <hlabs> really
[08:29] <Mitrovarr> yes, runs well too
[08:29] <Dr_Willis> IE causes me to drink lots of wine.
[08:29] <bruenig> ie clone, as in browser?
[08:29] <bruenig> there are tons of browsers
[08:29] <finfe> Dr_Willis: :D
[08:29] <finfe> BusMaster: it's a good idea
[08:29] <Mitrovarr> yeah, if you just want a browser, firefox and opera come to mind
[08:29] <Rea> Anyone has an idea why the system hangs up during Base System Installation, always on different percentage, Its not a CD issue (tested several cds, and 2 CD drives)..   PI166MMX, 64MB RAM,...
[08:29] <zipper_> hlabs, but you shouldnt use IE... Use opera, firefox, konquerer or whatever instead
[08:30] <finfe> bruenig: IE is good for testing CSS
[08:30] <zipper_> Rea, installing on a laptop?
[08:30] <Rea> no.
[08:30] <bigbill52a> i read from corrupted windows installations all the time with rescue cd and write to my external hd which is formatted with fat32
[08:30] <hyperactivecrond> in python: var ie = crap
[08:30] <BusMaster> finfe: but it seems I can't apt-get it :(
[08:30] <hyperactivecrond> var ie = 'hell to write for';
[08:30] <finfe> BusMaster: I installed it through Automatix
[08:30] <bruenig> so nobody knows how to fix my firefox crashing problem? Does anyone else have that problem?
[08:31] <bigbill52a> windoz corruptions keep me in business...thanks bill gates
[08:31] <hyperactivecrond> but if you need ie, use crossover office..
[08:31] <finfe> bruenig: try installing swiftfox
[08:31] <bruenig> finfe, does the same
[08:31] <finfe> ah
[08:31] <Mitrovarr> ie can be installed in wine easily enough without crossover
[08:31] <bruenig> Opera doesn't do it but I would rather use firefox
[08:31] <Rea> zipper_: standard PC, no laptop
[08:31] <quix> brueing, ffox crashing with Flash content?
[08:31] <zipper_> Rea, yeah, saw your message before, but i dont know whats wrong then
[08:32] <bruenig> if I watch something from youtube or google video and then try to move on after it has finished firefox locks up and I have to force it to quit
[08:32] <Rea> zipper_:  np.  ;)
[08:32] <frying_fish> anyone happen to know how I specify a program to run as a different user on boot
[08:32] <finfe> bruenig: try to install firefox plugins through automatix
[08:33] <finfe> bruenig: even though it doesn't sound as a proper solution
[08:33] <bigbill52a> rea..try the alternate cd for kubuntu and select text mode
[08:33] <bruenig> finfe, I did install them through automatix.
[08:33] <quix> I had another problem with Flash, don't seem the same, but anyways I resolved it disabling RendelAccel in my xorg.conf...
[08:33] <thaixstyle> bruenig: at least you can force quit, my comp use freezes up entirely
[08:33] <bigbill52a> bypass the graphic install
[08:33] <finfe> bruenig: I am defeated then X_x
[08:33] <nilesh892003> hello friends anybody know how to do voice chat via yahoo id in ubuntu?????????
[08:34] <Rea> bigbill52a: i am running the Ubuntu ALT cd. Is there any difference between Kubuntu Text Mode, and Ubuntu Text mode...?
[08:34] <bruenig> it must be a conflict with extensions or something
[08:34] <bruenig> I don't know why it wouldn't work and since not everbody else is having the problem
[08:34] <bigbill52a> they are pretty close...

Can someone please point me to some documentation?

[08:42] <soundray> JohnnyG: ubotu should have sent you a private message with a pointer
[08:43] <mrPolite> chaddy: Google it is never a helpful answer
[08:43] <soundray> Dabian: because you are using the channel for a purpose other than that which it is dedicated to
[08:43] <munsa> Howdy, anyone know where to get decent games for linux? Or does anyone know the URL for the FreshMeat .DEB File Repo?

[08:43] <JohnnyG> soundray, I got it thank you. chaddy, I tried the google method but the result points to a "get in the guts" solution which I'll fail if attempting. Sad to say it but for my first run I need a GUI to spoonfeed me
[08:43] <Dabian> soundray, oh .. how bad .. bad bad me.  What a tragedy.
[08:44] <chaddy> cool, JohnnyG

[08:45] <ateoh211> bluefox83: nope

[08:46] <Mitrovarr> what's up with MP3 not being supported anyway?  I mean, there's like 1 billion free mp3 programs on the net, so obviously the license or patent or whatever can't be very restrictive
[08:46] <ardchoille> munsa: It's not a good thing to use any old .deb in Ubuntu. If the app you desire is not in the repos, consider a) looking for an Ubuntu .deb or b) compiling the app yourself :)
[08:46] <ateoh211> bluefox83: man xchat-gnome

 do you know a place where I can get decent games from??
[08:47] <Kzar_fr> HI folks, I was wondering who is using Raki / Synce-KDE with success ...
[08:47] <bluefox83> ateoh211: no manual entry for xchat-gnome
[08:47] <chaddy> that will install ndiswrapper and a nice wee gui to use it with, m06w
[08:47] <ardchoille> munsa: Games? No, sorry, I don't use games in Linux.
[08:47] <m06w> i have teh install page for ndiswrapper, but i dont know how do to what it says to do
[08:47] <Dabian> I have to download the windows version of firefox ..
[08:47] <greyballoon> hey, I just updated my ubuntu server edition, and for some reason it won't load the ethernet card.  It gives me this error when I try to use sudo ifup eth0: SIOCSIFADDR: No Such device.
[08:47] <argument> hias, where does the inetd config file go?
[08:47] <Mitrovarr> hyperactivecrond:  Rippon:  I know that, but the patent or whatever can't be terribly restrictive if I can get free mp3 encoders/decoders at a million net places.  Why isn't it just included?  I'm sure there's a good reason, I'm just wondering if one of you know it.
[08:47] <soundray> m06w: what's the sticking point?
[08:47] <petr> Mitrovarr: see ubuntu wiki, search for RestrictedFormats
[08:47] <argument> and or how do i get a list of files in a package?
[08:47] <munsa> ardchoille do you know where I can get some decent games? ok what about other repos? with different software and stuff for debian/ubuntu?/?
[08:47] <Dabian> I hope this doesn't mean I have to run firefox through wine?
[08:48] <mwe> Dabian: huh?
[08:48] <argument> Dabian, no, run it through vmware-server
[08:48] <Dabian> mwe: Shockwave
[08:48] <m06w> Go to the source-directory and run 'make distclean' and 'make'.
[08:48] <mrPolite> Dabian: thats exactly what it means
[08:48] <m06w> first sentance
[08:48] <ardchoille> munsa: I only use the official repos, can't help with other repos.
[08:48] <mwe> Dabian: you need to run it in wine then. linux can't run windows programs natively
[08:48] <petr> Mitrovarr: if millions do this it does not mean they do right thing
[08:48] <Dabian> Wow .. that really sucks!
[08:48] <soundray> m06w: which page is that on?
[08:49] <Dabian> When did this "shockwave" appear?
[08:49] <m06w> http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/Installation#Installation
[08:49] <Mitrovarr> petr:  Well, I doubt it can be illegal if such high-profile programs such as winamp include it.  Is it not included because it's contrary to Ubuntu's philosophy?
[08:49] <Rippon> Mitrovarr: Ubuntu wouldn't be completly free then, so it is against the philosophy
[08:49] <ateoh211> bluefox83: man xchat?   aptitude search xchat | grep doc   aptitude install 'package name'  less /usr/share/doc/'docs directory'
[08:49] <mwe> Dabian: windows can't run linux programs either
[08:49] <Dabian> I assume wine only runs in 32-bit as well?
[08:49] <soundray> m06w: this is not the page that ubotu pointed you to.
[08:49] <m06w> i know
[08:49] <m06w> but the page it does isnt useful
[08:49] <argument> how do i get a list of files in a package?

[08:50] <Dabian> mwe: I am aware of that.
[08:50] <Mitrovarr> longwave:  Ah.
[08:50] <greyballoon> Can someone help me with my problem?  my internet connection was working fine before the update, now it is saying that eth0 doesn't exist.
[08:50] <mwe> Dabian: I don't know why anyone is using that propriatary crap anyway
[08:50] <soundray> m06w: what's the sticking point when you follow the link that ubotu points you to?
[08:51] <Dabian> mwe: Just .. having to run 32-bit chroot wine firefox ... just to access normal webpages with shockwave. ... thats kinda insane.
[08:51] <Dabian> mwe: Yeah .. beats me ..
[08:51] <Mitrovarr> Dabian:  Blame adobe.
[08:51] <m06w> the link it gives me eventualy leads to the page i gave
[08:51] <Dabian> mwe: There is both java and flash .. why shockwave?
[08:51] <mwe> Dabian: really. I wouldn't put the future of my companys wub page into the hands of adobe

[08:51] <Dabian> mwe, Its a chatwebsite..
[08:52] <Rippon> I guess they just skipped flash 8
[08:52] <Rippon> but better that it is 9
[08:52] <mwe> Dabian: I wouldn't do that either
[08:52] <chaddy> they did, Rippon
[08:52] <babis85> hey guys, when i switch to my local language, pressing the backspace kills the xserver

[08:52] <Dabian> chaddy, right now I run 32-bit chroot firefox for JRE and flash ..
[08:52] <finfe> Ah, finally flash 9
[08:52] <babis85> what can i do?
[08:52] <mwe> Dabian: adobe doesn't care about linux
[08:52] <soundray> m06w: how about https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo ?
[08:52] <Dabian> mwe: Its not my webpage .. I am just a user ... I want to meet my friends there.

[08:53] <oxez> I just created an empty EXT2 partition. Total space: 193 GB, Used space: 4.0K, Free space: 183 GB. Where did the 10gb go??

[08:53] <Dabian> T`ch, Yeah
[08:53] <Dr_Willis> and inodes. :P
[08:53] <oxez> Is there a way to disable that?
[08:53] <Mitrovarr> Alright, well, the restricted-media page does have the proper solution for making sound-juicer work, I just wish it was the first thing that came up in google (the first page is a solution for ubuntu 4s and 5s, which no longer works.)  Thanks everyone!  (and thanks for not biting my head off for going a bit offtopic.)
[08:53] <greyballoon> I've been looking through some pages, and it seems like the driver isn't loading, unfortunately, I don't know how to change that.
[08:53] <Dr_Willis> this is linux of course tehres a way. :P
[08:53] <soundray> oxez: that's 5% reserved for root
[08:54] <oxez> I'll look in mke2fs options
[08:54] <mwe> Dabian: I think your options are qemu, wine 32 bit choot, vmware or windows native
[08:54] <T`ch> Dabian, i have an issue with fonts on 32-bit ff.. the fonts aliasing or something is screwed up.. they dont appear as sharp and there is some coloring (red glow) to the black fonts
[08:54] <mwe> Dabian: chroot
[08:54] <T`ch> Dabian, any idea how to fix that?
[08:54] <bluefox83> xchat's little help thingy is greyed out..are there xchat help files i could be missing?
[08:54] <oxez> soultan, well, that is not really needed, as this partition is only for data storage (and network shares)
[08:54] <soundray> oxez: you can change that with tune2fs
[08:54] <Dabian> mwe: I am followring this howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave
[08:54] <hlabs> i need help in installing gnucash

[08:54] <oxez> soundray, do you know what options I need to pass to tune2fs?
[08:55] <T`ch> Dabian, well do you have the same problem with fonts?
[08:55] <T`ch> Dabian, site look different for me on 32bit compared to 64 bit
[08:55] <Dabian> T`ch, I had a problem .. fonts not showing ..
[08:55] <chaddy> lhds: dpkg -l |less
[08:55] <soundray> oxez: it's the -m option. Look at man tune2fs
[08:55] <T`ch> Dabian, oh.. so what did you do?
[08:55] <oxez> soundray, ok
[08:55] <Dabian> T`ch, however .. my 32bit chroot is not ubuntu .. its Debian SID .. so your milage may vary..
[08:55] <oxez> soundray, thanks!
[08:55] <mwe> Dabian: the problem is it doesn't work well in 64bit mode
[08:56] <edju> Ubuntu have a "network" install?  i.e., w/o a cd or floppy?
[08:56] <Dabian> mwe: It does not..  No 64bit java or flash (yet).
[08:56] <hyperactivecrond> mwe: Dabian: /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:56] <soundray> oxez: 5% is overkill for such a big partition, but don't set it to zero - you never know...
[08:56] <T`ch> Dabian, well, buy how did you fix the font issue?
[08:56] <mwe> Dabian: personally I'd run 32bit linux for now if I had 64bit arch
[08:57] <oxez> soundray, I've set it to 0.25
[08:57] <T`ch> mwe, why? it works great for me
[08:57] <oxez> I think it's fair enough
[08:57] <soundray> oxez: good choice, I think
[08:57] <greyballoon> ateoh211: any ideas?  I couldn't find an ubuntu specific workaround for this.
[08:57] <finfe> architecture is something hard for me to understand....
[08:57] <Dabian> T`ch, it was quite bothersome .. I had to install packages, and set up symbolic links.
[08:57] <oxez> Thanks again soundray  ;D
[08:57] <m06w> do i have to tell the network settings that my network runs WPA personal with tkip
[08:57] <Dabian> T`ch, I found a link .. that was quite helpful.
[08:58] <mwe> T`ch: because many 64bit linux programs are not mature
[08:58] <T`ch> Dabian, any idea if you have that link? i been googling on this issue for a while
[08:58] <T`ch> mwe, oh yea? like ?
[08:58] <soundray> m06w: no, you should tell us that. Setting up WPA with tkip is advanced stuff. You will need wpasupplicant and someone who's knowledgeable and willing to help you.
[08:58] <mwe> T`ch: java, flash, vmware what not
[08:58] <soundray> !wpasupplicant
[08:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wpasupplicant - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:58] <soundray> !wpa
[08:58] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[08:58] <Dabian> T`ch, give me a few secunds.
[08:58] <mwe> T`ch: multimedia stuff
[08:58] <T`ch> mwe, you can use all that in a chroot envinronment.. no prob
[08:58] <Dabian> s/cun/con/
[08:58] <hyperactivecrond> !tell soundray about msgthebot
[08:59] <T`ch> mwe, i run amd64 linux.. works great.. no complaints
[08:59] <ateoh211> greyballoon: sorry, was spacing out...can you repeat your question?
[08:59] <T`ch> mwe, its just a wrapper in ubuntu.. linux32 <app>
[08:59] <mwe> T`ch: I might as well run 32bit linux then as I need it all the time
[08:59] <ubuntu> is there a shell command like "cp" which is quick to copy the data from one partition to another ?
[08:59] <Dabian> ubuntu, cat
[08:59] <soundray> hyperactivecrond: I know about msgthebot. This was meant for m06w, and the bot lines *used* to be more useful.
[08:59] <hyperactivecrond> Dabian: ?
[08:59] <ateoh211> ubuntu: rsync
[08:59] <Dabian> hyperactivecrond, ?
[08:59] <greyballoon> Well, I think the problem is that the ethernet driver isn't loading.  How do i get it to load?
[09:00] <ubuntu> Dabian: isn't that to show the content of a file ?
[09:00] <hyperactivecrond> soundray: then !tell nick about spameggs
[09:00] <ubuntu> ateoh211: thanks.
[09:00] <_Silverter> hi there
[09:00] <hyperactivecrond> Dabian: why cat
[09:00] <T`ch> ubuntu, dont use cat.. you can mount both the partitions and then do a cp
[09:00] <_Silverter> what is the name of the boot manager again ?
[09:00] <ateoh211> greyballoon:  insmod 'module name'
[09:00] <Dabian> ubuntu, cat /dev/sourcepartition > /dev/destinationpartition
[09:00] <T`ch> Ubugtu, cat is for viewing content.. right
[09:00] <soundray> hyperactivecrond: please, I don't need this lesson
[09:00] <_Silverter> the application to edit the startup scripts `?
[09:00] <Dabian> ubuntu, thats the quick and dirty way to do it.
[09:00] <hyperactivecrond> !tell _Silverter about grub
[09:00] <welshbyte> i seem to be getting errors trying to burn CDs with nautilus cd burner on edgy.. anyone getting the same problems or succeeded on edgy?
[09:00] <hyperactivecrond> soundray: apologies..
[09:00] <ubuntu> Dabian: is it quicker than rsync ?
[09:00] <_Silverter> hyperactivecrond: no not grub
[09:00] <soundray> hyperactivecrond: granted ;)
[09:00] <T`ch> ubuntu, ah.. are you actualy trying to duplicate a partiion?
[09:01] <chaddy> _Silverter: grub or lilo?
[09:01] <T`ch> ubuntu, an entire partition?
[09:01] <Dabian> ubuntu, you tell me .. I never compared .. but I doubt it will be slower.
[09:01] <ateoh211> ubuntu: no error checking
[09:01] <hyperactivecrond> ubuntu: don't use Dabian's method.. that's a byte-for-byte recopy..
[09:01] <astronut> if i set up lvm over a live system, do i need to copy anything in /etc over?
[09:01] <ateoh211> ubuntu: with the Dabian way
[09:01] <T`ch> ubuntu, you should use "dd" thats the tool to do this stuff
[09:01] <Dabian> ubuntu, unless ..
[09:01] <_Silverter> no there's a package that one can use to edit the startup scriptss
[09:01] <Dabian> I am sorry
[09:01] <Dabian> I only saw this:
[09:01] <lufis> Hey. I have a craptastic laptop that I can't get to connect to the intarweb. I need to install the libdvdcss2 package and w32codecs... but I don't know where I can download them directly from my desktop and then transfer them to the laptop.
[09:01] <T`ch> ubuntu, dd if=/dev/inpartition of=/dev/outpartition bs=1024
[09:01] <ubuntu> I'm writing a little installer which copies the content of the root partition of the live CD to a target partition
[09:01] <greyballoon> ateoh211: how do I know what module to load, I think its tulip ... but it isn't finding that.
[09:01] <Dabian>  is there a shell command like "cp" which is quick to copy the data from one partition to another
[09:01] <T`ch> Ubugtu, you can even use bs=4096 might be better
[09:02] <hyperactivecrond> mount /dev/hdax /media/hdax; cd /; cp -R /*.* /media/hdax
[09:02] <hyperactivecrond> mount /dev/hdax /media/hdax; cd /; cp -Rp /*.* /media/hdax
[09:02] <Dabian>  I only saw this: "<ubuntu> is there a shell command like "cp" which is quick to copy the data from one partition to another ?"
[09:02] <chaddy> _Silverter: apt-cache search startup and see if anything rings a bell?
[09:02] <T`ch> hyperactivecrond, that wont work.. dev files wont get copied
[09:02] <T`ch> hyperactivecrond, so do hardlinks
[09:02] <Dabian> ubuntu, I didn't answer to anything else.
[09:02] <hyperactivecrond> eek. hardlinks..
[09:02] <T`ch> ubuntu, just use dd
[09:02] <ateoh211> greyballoon: first you must know the model of ethernet card.
[09:02] <Sconk> i just reinstalled my winxp and i use to dualboot how do i get the grub boot sceen back ?
[09:02] <ubuntu> T`ch: ok
[09:03] <hyperactivecrond> Sconk: grub-install /dev/hsda
[09:03] <lufis> Can someone point me to a location where i can download non-free multimedia packages directly?
[09:03] <JohnnyG> what is the "yum" equiv in Ubunutu? is there a place i can go to say "install firefox flash plugin" via a GUI?
[09:03] <T`ch> ubuntu, thats the standard tool to do what you want.. but be careful.. backup the partition and play around
[09:03] <DanaG> argh, Amarok manages to eat my CPU when it indexes my USB hard drive.
[09:03] <Dabian> ubuntu, listen to T`ch, dd is much less dirty than cat.
[09:03] <ardchoille> !grub > Sconk
[09:03] <interfear> how come when i try to install nvidia-glx i get the error nvidia-glx: Depends: xserver-common (>= 4.0.3) but it is not going to be installed
[09:03] <longwave> JohnnyG: synaptic for the gui, or apt-get on the command line
[09:03] <interfear> how do i fix thta
[09:03] <Sconk> thaks
[09:03] <hyperactivecrond>  grub-install /dev/hda***
[09:03] <ubuntu> T`ch: do I need to mkfs the partition first ?
[09:03] <T`ch> ubuntu, no..
[09:03] <_Silverter> interfear: what repo are u using for the nvidia-glx stuff ?
[09:03] <longwave> no, if you are dd'ing, it will copy the partition bit-for-bit
[09:03] <Tamale> can someone help me create a password protected area of my website?  I've made the appropriate .htaccess and .htpasswd files, but i'm not getting any prompt asking me for a username and password...
[09:03] <JohnnyG> longwave: is synaptic installed already or must I install it? if it is there already, where in the menu is it? otherwise, should I just google it?
[09:03] <T`ch> ubuntu, what dd does is make a exact copy of one partiiton on another
[09:04] <T`ch> ubuntu, well, dd actually just copies one piece of data onto another
[09:04] <greyballoon> ateoh211: DECchip 21140
[09:04] <longwave> JohnnyG: go to the Applications menu and click Add/Remove
[09:04] <hyperactivecrond> Tamale: your permissions may be wrong in the apache config file
[09:04] <T`ch> ubuntu, so if the first parition has a filesystem on it.. then it gets copied onto target as well..
[09:04] <chaddy> JohnnyG: add/remove > advanced
[09:04] <Tamale> hyperactivecrond: what should they be and how would i check?
[09:04] <ateoh211> Tamale: that sounds like a question for the #apache channel
[09:04] <interfear> _Silverter: not sure
[09:04] <interfear> _Silverter: why
[09:04] <ubuntu> T`ch: looks perfect.
[09:04] <hyperactivecrond> Tamale: i'm not sure but i've had that problem.. can't remember.. check AllowOverride
[09:04] <longwave> Tamale: pastebin your .htaccess
[09:04] <greyballoon> etoh221: at least, thats what lspci said
[09:04] <JohnnyG> when i search "synaptic" under the add/remove I show synaptic with a check by it already
[09:05] <T`ch> Tamale, put your .htaccess somewhere
[09:05] <JohnnyG> oooh
[09:05] <m06w> wpasupplicant wouldnt happen to be a self installing whateveritis would it
[09:05] <JohnnyG> I found it
[09:05] <ubuntu> T`ch: ok I'll try dd so. Thanks everyone for your help.
[09:05] <T`ch> Tamale, and you have to enable htaccess in your config file
[09:05] <h8tred> can i install amarok without messing anything up, i don't know what will happen since it is for kde
[09:05] <hyperactivecrond> !tell Tamale about pastebin
[09:05] <JohnnyG> I am inside the synaptic package manager
[09:05] <soundray> ateoh211: cp -a implies -R
[09:05] <T`ch> ubuntu, you are aware everythng you habve on your partition will be gone right?
[09:05] <finfe> h8tred: no problem installing kde packages on gnome
[09:05] <Rea> I have now the server edition installed, is there an easy way to upgrade to Desktop without reinstalling the whole system?
[09:05] <ubuntu> T`ch: yes.
[09:05] <interfear> when i am trying to install the nvidia-glx driver it is saying i have to remove ubuntu-dekstop and all this crap
[09:05] <interfear> wtf
[09:05] <_Silverter> interfear: because I want to get nvidia-glx working on my install in order to get XGL going
[09:05] <T`ch> ubuntu, ok.. then
[09:05] <_Silverter> and I still can't find a repo for it
[09:06] <longwave> rea: install the ubuntu-desktop package
[09:06] <ubuntu> T`ch: well... you mean on the of partition right ?
[09:06] <ardchoille> h8tred: You can run kde apps in gnome just fine.. you may notice, though, that a kde app may end up launching some kde libs, but it's not really a problem.
[09:06] <T`ch> ubuntu, on the target partition..
[09:06] <benny> hi
[09:06] <ubuntu> T`ch: yes
[09:06] <benny> i have a question
[09:06] <chaddy> o/ benny
[09:06] <soundray> !ask
[09:06] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:06] <Tamale> T`ch: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20394
[09:06] <benny> is there a programm like mirc?
[09:06] <h8tred> ardchoille: when i close the app will the libs stop as well?
[09:06] <benny> for ubuntu
[09:07] <Rea> longwave: had problems installing it direclty, always hangs up on Base System install. Now i choosed server and it went ok, but want Desktop, thats why i ask if is there an easy way to upgrade
[09:07] <ubuntu> T`ch: I'm remastering Kubuntu, but Ubiquity did too many things for me, so I'm just trying to write a simple installer.
[09:07] <Tamale> T`ch: I think it's already enabled in my apache2.conf
[09:07] <benny> i have some scripts for mirc
[09:07] <chaddy> benny: irssi is good, also xchat
[09:07] <chaddy> ah scripts, don't know
[09:07] <benny> but xchat dont understand the scripts of mirc
[09:07] <T`ch> Tamale, look for "AccessFileName .htaccess" in the conf file
[09:07] <Evergete> how to can i mount a webdav disk as user? with davfs2 i can only read/write it as root...
[09:07] <interfear> when i am trying to install the nvidia-glx driver it is saying i have to remove ubuntu-dekstop and all this crap
[09:07] <Tamale> T`ch:  Yes, it's in there, and not commented out.
[09:07] <ubuntu> T`ch: the user specifies the target partition, and I'll use dd to make a copy of the live cd root partition to that target.
[09:07] <ardchoille> h8tred: I never looked to see if the libs close
[09:07] <benny> but xchat dont understand the scripts of mirc
[09:07] <benny> but xchat dont understand the scripts of mirc
[09:07] <T`ch> Tamale, did you just put it in or it has been there when you started apache?
[09:08] <benny> i need a irc tool with the sam scripzt editor like mirc
[09:08] <Tamale> T`ch:  It was in there even before i restarted apache
[09:08] <ubuntu> Thanks everybody.
[09:08] <ateoh211> greyballoon: insmod tulip ?
[09:08] <T`ch> Tamale, ok.. sec
[09:08] <longwave> benny: you can run mirc on linux with wine, but there is no other client that runs mirc scripts that i know of
[09:08] <DanaG> my wifi is ipw3945
[09:08] <benny> tmirc on linux with wine?
[09:09] <benny> whats wine?
[09:09] <soundray> !tell benny about wine
[09:09] <JohnnyG> I used the synaptic package manager to install the flash firefox plugin - when I hit youtube or macromedia to test the flashes don't load
[09:09] <Tamale> T`ch: This is the exact line:
[09:09] <Tamale>                  AccessFileName .htaccess
[09:09] <Tamale> 
[09:09] <JohnnyG> I've closed out and restarted firefox, is there something else I should be doing?
[09:09] <chaddy> restart firefox, JohnnyG
[09:09] <longwave> JohnnyG: have you restarted firefox?
[09:09] <benny> big thx
[09:09] <JohnnyG> yup
[09:09] <greyballoon> ateoh221: says it can't find it.  " No such file or directory"
[09:09] <soundray> JohnnyG: have you restarted firefox since the install?
[09:09] <JohnnyG> I have
[09:09] <DanaG> Hey, do any of you run Folding@Home?
[09:09] <DanaG> I wanna know if it's possible for a Linux client and a Windows client (same machine, dual boot) from the same set of data files.
[09:09] <JohnnyG> would booting completely help?
[09:09] <longwave> JohnnyG: try "sudo update-flashplugin" from the command line
[09:10] <JohnnyG> kk, 2 secs while I locate the command line
[09:10] <munsa> Hey does anyone know what this thing is that makes your computer like 3d? xgl? or something
[09:10] <soundray> JohnnyG: check "about:plugins" to see if it shows
[09:10] <Awesome-o2000> what is mplayer-plugin for ubuntu?
[09:10] <Tamale> DanaG: It should work fine under wine
[09:10] <munsa> does it work with ubuntu?
[09:10] <T`ch> Tamale, just in case.. try reloading apache.. /etc/init.d/apache reload
[09:10] <interfear> when i am trying to install the nvidia-glx driver it is saying i have to remove ubuntu-dekstop and all this crap
[09:10] <benny> does wine work fast, and good?
[09:10] <DanaG> Can you make a Linux client use the Windows work files?
[09:10] <DrkLrd> which file do i need for mp3?
[09:10] <Tamale> T`ch: Is that different from restarting?
[09:10] <DrkLrd> the 1 file
[09:10] <T`ch> Tamale, lets pm.. this is offtopic

[09:11] <benny> and is there a program to connect from linux to a windows client with the remote desktop of windows?
[09:11] <chaddy> Awesome-o2000: apt-cache search mplayer
[09:11] <greyballoon> ateoh221: I tried searching for a tulip in an apt package, but couldn't find it.
[09:11] <DanaG> Yes, there are rdesktop clients.
[09:11] <soundray> benny: fast, no; good - depends on the program
[09:11] <mopflite> !laptops > mopflite
[09:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about laptops - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:11] <longwave> Tamale: you might need the "AllowOverride AuthConfig" in a <Directory> section to let the Auth commands be used in .htaccess
[09:11] <Awesome-o2000> mozilla-mplayer
[09:12] <chaddy> that's the fellow^
[09:12] <longwave> Tamale: by default .htaccess is restricted so you can only use a certain set of config commands in there
[09:12] <munsa> Noone? Any ideas about this XGL thing?

[09:16] <benny> does freenx support windows pc?

[09:17] <benny> Renan_s2,  do u know?
[09:17] <rdz> longwave, thanks a lot
[09:17] <Renan_s2> benny, is the Windows PC running what? VNC, Terminal Services?
[09:17] <chaddy> vnc will work to windows, benny
[09:17] <ateoh211> benny: krdc

[09:18] <zovirl> soundray: not that I see
[09:18] <benny> krdc doesnt work
[09:18] <Renan_s2> benny, then you want a Terminal Services client, I think it is 'tsclient'
[09:18] <benny> krdc omnly works with vnc
[09:18] <benny> ok i wil ltry
[09:18] <benny> thx
[09:18] <greyballoon> ateoh221: insmod tulip doesn't work.  but there is a directory for it under /sys/module

[09:19] <ateoh211> greyballoon: need more info than 'doesn't work'  an error message?
[09:19] <zovirl> soundray: both
[09:19] <DanaG> Try rdp-gnome.
[09:19] <longwave> JohnnyG: did you install the "flashplugin-nonfree" package? because that should provide update-flashplugin
[09:19] <Drack> does anyone know whats going on when there are a bunch of black lines running through the installer GUI?
[09:19] <chaddy> JohnnyG: type "update" then tab it out and look at the list it gives
[09:19] <greyballoon> ateoh221: insmod: can't read 'tulip': No such file or directory
[09:20] <JohnnyG> longwave: I installed "libflash-mozplugin" because it came up when i searched for "firefox flash"
[09:20] <quix> DanaG: I think it's gnome-rdp
[09:20] <greyballoon> ls
[09:20] <Renan_s2> I think it is 'sudo modprobe tulip'
[09:20] <munsa> I was wondering if someone could help me with some audio problems I am having? My audio used to work fine, now the volume is very low even at full vol it is very low
[09:20] <longwave> JohnnyG: ah, thats not the right package
[09:20] <munsa> any ideas?"
[09:20] <JohnnyG> chaddy: root@johnny-laptop:/home/johnny# update
[09:20] <JohnnyG> bash: update: command not found
[09:20] <soundray> zovirl: could it be an interrupt conflict? You may have to try different IRQ settings in the BIOS
[09:20] <ateoh211> iirc, krdc connects to windows rdp and vnc.  I believe the url to your desktop should be entered as rdp://the.fqdnorip.to.desktop

[09:21] <JohnnyG> longwave: which keywords or non-search approach to locating the correct package would be effective?
[09:21] <Renan_s2> JohnnyG, don't you mean "sudo apt-get update"?
[09:21] <zovirl> soundray: yeah that might be it...but....why would installing 6.06 change the IRQs?  it wasn't a problem before I upgraded...
[09:21] <Kzar_fr> HI folks, I was wondering who is using Raki / Synce-KDE with success ...
[09:21] <Tamale> JohnnyG: Just type it verbatim in a console.
[09:21] <longwave> JohnnyG: you probably need to enable some extra repositories to get flash
[09:21] <JohnnyG> chaddy: I see a bunch of them, but I don't want to paste it here, it'd be spam
[09:21] <longwave> !flash > JohnnyG
[09:21] <soundray> zovirl: the kernel might have changed in the way it accesses your hardware
[09:21] <longwave> follow the link that ubotu just sent you

[09:22] <finfe> don't use apt-get, use aptitude

[09:22] <Renan_s2> strange...
[09:22] <JohnnyG> Tamle: I'll try that now

[09:23] <chaddy> noticed Mark Shuttleworth using aptitude, what's wrong with apt-get?
[09:23] <abo> soundray, thx
[09:23] <DanaG> Oh, better than sudo passwd -l root, try sudo passwd -d -e rooot
[09:23] <Tamale> JohnnyG: You have to close synaptic before that command will work
[09:23] <DanaG> er, root.
[09:23] <Tamale> only one program can access apt-get at a time
[09:23] <munsa> quix Does anyone know about Xgl?? And if it works on Ubuntu??
[09:23] <DanaG> It deletes (and expires) the password.
[09:23] <DanaG> !xgl
[09:23] <chaddy> JohnnyG: close add/remove

[09:26] <munsa> quix is it cool? I mean it looks awsome, but as a relitive newbie i dont know if I could handle installing something like that

[09:34] <Pirate-King> x11 windows manager

[09:34] <Pirate-King> where do I get that?
[09:34] <longwave> pyret: only under wine :(
[09:34] <aquarius> a-orange: #ubuntu-xgl may be able to help.
[09:34] <a-orange> ok thanks
[09:34] <longwave> pyret: macromedia have never made a proper shockwave player for linux
[09:34] <pyret> ok
[09:35] <finfe> longwave: is there an improper one?
[09:35] <rubuntus> how do i compile a program and export it as an deb-file, so i wont need to compile it again on similar systems?
[09:35] <longwave> finfe: the improper way is firefox for windows under wine
[09:35] <longwave> !shockwave
[09:35] <ubotu> shockwave is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave
[09:35] <longwave> instructions are there if you want to try it
[09:35] <finfe> ah
[09:35] <finfe> :|
[09:36] <greyballoon> ateoh221: any ideas
[09:36] <Dabian> xchat .. when I accidently disconnect a channel (eg. #ubuntu) from the main window .. how do I reattach?
[09:37] <Awesome-o2000> Dabian, ctrl+i

[09:37] <Dabian> Awesome-o2000, thanks!
[09:37] <Awesome-o2000> np
[09:38] <pyret> should i remove the firefox for linux first?
[09:38] <rubuntus> Hi =) anyone knows how i compile a program from source and make a deb of it?
[09:38] <longwave> no, you can have both installed at once
[09:39] <finfe> pyret: i don't think so
[09:39] <JohnnyG> <a href="http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo#Troubleshooting">,</a>
[09:39] <JohnnyG> ignore
[09:39] <JohnnyG> how do i use a GUI to install MadWifi
[09:39] <longwave> pyret: if you follow the instructions on the wiki you use ubuntu firefox as normal, and mozplugger will load windows firefox when you visit a page with shockwave
[09:39] <JohnnyG> when i search synaptic I get no results, and I need MadWifi to get my wireless connection going on my thinkpad z60t
[09:40] <Tamale> JohnnyG:  Check out gnome network manager
[09:40] <ateoh211> greyballoon: could you post cat /proc/version again?
[09:40] <ateoh211> and also 'ls /lib/modules'
[09:41] <JohnnyG> Tamale: thanks, I'll get that installed
[09:41] <longwave> rubuntus: "checkinstall" is a quick and dirty way of making a .deb from source
[09:41] <longwave> rubuntus: otherwise read the ubuntu and debian packaging guides to build more complex packages
[09:41] <rubuntus> longwave, ok :) thanks again =)

[09:42] <greyballoon> ateoh221: ls /lib/modules: 2.6.15-23-386 2.6.15-26-386
[09:43] <longwave> zovirl: no extra package, just enable the apache module with "sudo a2enmod auth_digest"

[09:43] <tk2> hi - running latest LTS on an old Celeron (Mendocino) laptop - should be 400Mhz but the /proc/cpuinfo is reporting 202.705 - how do I tell it to speed the heck up? (can't find any obvious cpufreq/speedstep stuff around)
[09:43] <JohnnyG> Tamale: I've installed the package, but now can't locate it
[09:44] <ateoh211> grayballoon: does tulip.o exist in /lib/modules/2.6.15-26-386
[09:44] <ateoh211> greyballoon: maybe do an updatedb and then locate tulip
[09:44] <zovirl> longwave interesting.  thanks
[09:44] <h8tred> don't know if anyone encountered this, i'm trying to get help in #amarok, but i think it might be a sys problem instead, i can't get amarok to play mp3's, but it will play flac files, any solutions?
[09:45] <Tamale> JohnnyG:  Just reboot
[09:45] <bb|Gishnob> download mpg123
[09:45] <Flannel> h8tred: you load the mp3 codecs?
[09:45] <bb|Gishnob> or mpg321
[09:45] <Tamale> JohnnyG:   If your wireless is turned on, it will auto-detect it
[09:45] <longwave> zovirl: all the available modules are in /etc/apache2/mods-available/ if you need any other ones
[09:45] <Tamale> JohnnyG:  Probably   :0
[09:45] <Pirate-King> ubuntu 6.06 is dapper?

[09:45] <Flannel> h8tred: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats

[09:46] <ardchoille> !codecs > h8tred
[09:46] <tk2> longwave: just getting video...
[09:47] <ardchoille> Tamale: lol, there aren't 60 months in a year
[09:47] <Tamale> ardchoille: Oh, is that's what the .xx is based off?
[09:47] <ardchoille> yes
[09:47] <Flannel> Tamale: YY.MM
[09:47] <Tamale> ardchoille:  lol didn't know that.
[09:47] <tengil> what package should i install for unrar and rar?
[09:47] <ardchoille> 6 (2006). 06 (June)
[09:47] <longwave> tengil: "unrar" and "rar" :)
[09:48] <Batum> unrar?
[09:48] <Tamale> well at least in June 2066 we might see a 66.06
[09:48] <Batum> :)
[09:48] <z3n0> hu

[09:48] <Flannel> Tamale: it'll be april, I imagine.  June was a one time thing
[09:48] <longwave> rar and unrar are in multiverse, you may need to add that repository
[09:48] <tengil> longwave: and Batum of course i tried that. i should have explained. "Package unrar is not available, but is referred to by another package."
[09:48] <tengil> ah
[09:48] <greyballoon> etoh221: okay, I found tulip.ko in both kernel directories
[09:48] <tengil> multiverse
[09:48] <tengil> thanks
[09:49] <tk2> longwave: sadly - i get a lot of "your cpu is too slow to play this" errors from mplayer and /proc/cpuinfo doesn't change at all
[09:49] <tengil> longwave: umm i do have multiverse added......
[09:49] <Batum> people, if I do export LC_MESSAGES="en_US" - will it remain after I reboot?
[09:50] <z3n0> libsvg-cairo 0.1.5 is the last versione for ubuntu 6.06.1 64bit?
[09:50] <ateoh211> greyballoon:  try 'aptitude install modconf'  and then run modconf.  try to install that way.
[09:50] <h8tred> Flannel: thanks, it was the libxine-extracodecs
[09:50] <ateoh211> greyballoon: but first, what is the error when you 'insmod tulip' ?
[09:52] <pyret> how do i open a exe file with wine?

[09:54] <Batum> tredlig what do you mean?
[09:55] <greyballoon> etoh221: btw, I'm not finding modconf in the apt repository
[09:55] <benny> i have installed direktVNC with the adept maganer, but how can i start the programm?
[09:55] <benny> i have installed direktVNC with the adept maganer, but how can i start the programm?
[09:55] <tredlig> there is some guy on the boards talking about offering a christian version of ubuntu

[09:56] <ych> using it right now
[09:56] <longwave> tengil: do neither rar or unrar install for you?
[09:56] <finfe> pyret: System > preferences > keyboard shortcuts on gnome
[09:56] <longwave> tengil: because rar can unrar as well, i believe
[09:56] <z3n0> hi to all!
[09:56] <acab_> how could i tell to a program to start in a monitor?
[09:56] <ateoh211> greyballoon:  what does ifconfig tell you ('in a nutshell')
[09:56] <Batum> longwave I think rar can't unrar :)
[09:56] <ych> good question
[09:56] <acab_> :)
[09:56] <ych> i was wondering that myself
[09:56] <benny> i have installed direktVNC with the adept maganer, but how can i start the programm?
[09:56] <acab_> nice!
[09:57] <ych> i only started using it the day before yesterday
[09:57] <wweasel> I'm having a very odd problem.  GRUB has started taking forever to load, and then Splashy doesn't load, and linux pauses for about 45 seconds at certain points in the startup.  This happens only the first time I start up my computer, not if I reboot, which sounds insane but is true.  Anyone?
[09:57] <ych> and only been using ubuntu for a week, so im prolly not too much help
[09:57] <z3n0> compiz request the version 0.1.6 of libsvg-cairo but ubuntu 6.06.1 64bit has the 0.1.5..how i can make?
[09:57] <tengil> longwave: yeah both give me the line i pasted earlier. this is my multivers line in sources.list "deb http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-backports main restricted universe multiverse"
[09:57] <malefactor> ateoh211, wait one sec please...
[09:57] <acab_> because i have one monitor here... and a television very far... it's not easy caught the program there and bring it here :)
[09:57] <longwave> wweasel: if grub is taking a long time to load, it may be a hardware problem
[09:57] <ych> yeah, i was doing that for a second
[09:57] <malefactor> ateoh211: since you've helped me before, one more question please?
[09:58] <Dabian> wweasel, are you sure?  Forever is actually quite a long time ...
[09:58] <ych> but it was annoying so now i have 2 monitors :)
[09:58] <longwave> tengil: that's for dapper-backports, you need multiverse on the line with just dapper on it
[09:58] <ych> too lazy to get the tv thing working
[09:58] <wweasel> Dabian: By forever, I mean bootup is taking approx 4 minutes whereas it used to take 30 seconds.
[09:58] <ttyfscker> does anyone know the issue with sony dvd-r drives in dell inspiron 6000 notebooks running ubuntu??  i have one and it burns cds fine, but when i try to burn a dvd i get I/O errors.. anybody have any ideas?
[09:58] <wweasel> longwave: You think my hard drive might be dying? That would really piss me off :P
[09:58] <JohnnyG> Tamale: package installed, rebooted, still showing only wired and loopback. However, I'm unable to locate the gnome network interface GUI.
[09:58] <wweasel> longwave: I've tried fsck'ing.
[09:58] <Dabian> wweasel, Oh!  Thats *FAR* from forever ... forever is like .. well, forever, you know?
[09:58] <finfe> lol
[09:58] <wweasel> Thanks Dabian.
[09:58] <Batum> ttyfscker I have SONY DRU 700 A - it does work well
[09:59] <realist> A mighty long time.
[09:59] <Dabian> wweasel, but we're getting off topic now .. thanks for specifying.
[09:59] <longwave> wweasel: i cant see any other reason why grub would take a long time to start..
[09:59] <benny> i have installed direktVNC with the adept maganer, but how can i start the programm?
[09:59] <ttyfscker> Batum:: what kind of laptop is that on?
[09:59] <wweasel> longwave: You got a program you recommend to see if my Hard Drive is dying?
[09:59] <longwave> wweasel: oh, unless you have an entry in your grub menu that points to a drive that is not connected, maybe
[09:59] <one_stinky_bum> so, anyone got ubuntu on a gateway M280 (tablet pc_ here?
[09:59] <whaley> if i modify /etc/network/interfaces manually, what command would use issue to initiate those changes?
[09:59] <longwave> wweasel: that doesn't explain the other pauses in the boot process though
[10:00] <Dabian> wweasel, if you have a stetoscope ... you can listen to the harddrive while you boot.
[10:00] <wweasel> longwave: that wouldn't explain the other pauses, yeah.
[10:00] <Batum> ttyfscker It's a desktop,not a laptop, but I think this kind of thing is not important for DVD drives
[10:00] <Dabian> (Please correct my spelling where apropiate).
[10:00] <seneca> hi, I've got a computer with that uses the snd-intel8x0 driver that loads, but it's probe of the soundchip fails with -13 (EACCES).  Any suggestions?
[10:00] <ttyfscker> Batum:: i would normally think its not important either.. but someone told me it had to do with dell laptops and how it uses udev
[10:01] <JDahl> Dabian, appropriate
[10:01] <wweasel> longwave: Nope, grub menu is perfectly good. So, any diagnostic you recommend?
[10:01] <malefactor> Anyone here with a decent knowledge of PPP stuff?
[10:01] <Dabian> JDahl, tahnk you. :-)
[10:01] <Dabian> thank you, even.
[10:01] <one_stinky_bum> any help with a tablet PC install?
[10:01] <Batum> PEOPLE can anybody help me with my locales?
[10:01] <whaley> would i run /etc/init.d/networking stop & /etc/init.d/networking start ?
[10:01] <JDahl> Dabian, you're most welcome
[10:01] <Dabian> No
[10:01] <wweasel> one_stinky_bum: are you trying to figure out how to get the screen to flip?
[10:01] <Dabian> But someone might.
[10:02] <one_stinky_bum> well, there's that
[10:02] <Batum> Dabian I hope so :)
[10:02] <Dabian> (At least if you supplied some details).
[10:02] <ttyfscker> Batum:: you getting locales nags?
[10:02] <one_stinky_bum> but right now i would like to get the pen working
[10:02] <acab_> nobody else tried xinerama?
[10:02] <OmniD> I have a problem, but I'm going to wait it out so I don't seem like a prick!!
[10:02] <Dabian> Batum, :)
[10:02] <lufis> How do I unmount a drive via command line?
[10:02] <one_stinky_bum> zel - I have a gateway m280
[10:02] <Flannel> OmniD: wait what out?  Just ask
[10:02] <one_stinky_bum> I'm told it has a finepoint digitizer
[10:02] <wweasel> one_stinky_bum: I can't help you with the pen. For the screen, check out xrandr
[10:02] <Batum> my problem is that, I want to have specific lacales for LC_MESSAGES
[10:02] <seneca> lufis: "umount /$MOUNTPOINT"
[10:03] <yggdrasil> hello, does anyone remember the tree function of dos ? is there something similar to that in linux ,,bash?
[10:03] <OmniD> Oh allright
[10:03] <one_stinky_bum> zel: oh, xrandr has an issue with i915
[10:03] <Batum> I set system locales to KOI8-R, but I want LC_MESSAGES be en_US
[10:03] <Rambo3> like free linux
[10:03] <Batum> is it possible?
[10:03] <amarillion> yggdrasil, you can do that with find
[10:03] <one_stinky_bum> zel: crashes like a mofo
[10:03] <OmniD> Well I have this problem where I cannot shut down or restart this PC. The option is gone as if all the users lost the priveledge.
[10:03] <yggdrasil> how ?
[10:03] <OmniD> And hibernate has taken it's place as a huge button
[10:03] <JDahl> yggdrasil, what did it do - traverse the filesystem? "find .",  or "du -h ."
[10:03] <yggdrasil> oh actualy theres a tree cmd
[10:03] <one_stinky_bum> omni, hit ctrl-alt-f1
[10:03] <yggdrasil> haha
[10:03] <yggdrasil> it works just the smae
[10:04] <one_stinky_bum> login and shutdown from there
[10:04] <amarillion> yggdrasil, try "find -type d" to see only directories
[10:04] <yggdrasil> hmm intersting
[10:04] <yggdrasil> well i have a directory that has all the rolling stones cds in subdirs and i wanted to print out a list that has the directory name and the files inside

[10:10] <aoshi> fyreststr:do u know how to?
[10:10] <fyrestrtr> no, I don't own any joysticks.
[10:11] <aoshi> does anyone know how to config a joystick?
[10:11] <finfe> a joypad would be better IMHO
[10:11] <finfe> :P
[10:12] <aoshi> lol,,,but i have a joystick
[10:12] <Leafw> is there any way to remove one of the two: ubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-deslktop, without removing what is shared with the other, via apt-get ?
[10:12] <Dr_Willis> plug it in. see if /dev/js0 or /dev/input/js0 shows up.
[10:12] <finfe> lol
[10:12] <finfe> I'm sorry, I don't know
[10:12] <Dr_Willis> then it depends on the game.
[10:12] <finfe> I only have a joypad
[10:12] <Rambo3> aoshi i bet google knows , i think i installed one for mythtv + xmame once
[10:13] <ardchoille> Leafw: Those are only meta packages, used to bring in other packages, you can safely remove them and the apps they brought in will not be removed. I removed those a long time ago
[10:13] <Greatn> i have libc installed but a program i'm trying to install still says i need it installed? anyone have any ideas
[10:13] <ardchoille> Leafw: However, you may want to re-install them if you upgrade from one Ubuntu version to the next
[10:14] <Rambo3> just search /dev/js + ubuntu
[10:15] <fyrestrtr> Greatn: sudo apt-get install libc6-dev
[10:15] <bluefox83> can't believe ubuntu is this difficult to personalise
[10:15] <fyrestrtr> bluefox83: believe it :)

[10:16] <fyrestrtr> bluefox83: enable universe repos, and then sudo apt-get install mp3info
[10:16] <ardchoille> bluefox83: enable the universe repo, then do sudo apt-get install mp3info
[10:17] <fyrestrtr> !universe > bluefox83
[10:17] <Leafw> ardchoille : thanks for the response, but what I meant was to remove the *entire* set of components of the ubuntu-desktop and leave only those of the kubuntu-desktop
[10:17] <Pirate-King> how do you install themes?
[10:17] <Pirate-King> how do you install themes?

[10:20] <Cyball>  hi  @all how can i reinstall a package that was ones installed and uninstalled completly new without configuration made before ???
[10:20] <fyrestrtr> meathead: normally, to compile something that needs a module, you need to install the -dev version of it, which includes the header files and development libraries.
[10:21] <meathead> I see
[10:21] <meathead> shit, now it's telling me it needs libc6
[10:21] <meathead> lemme see if I can do this one on my own
[10:21] <fyrestrtr> Cyball: sudo aptitude reinstall packagename
[10:21] <meathead> libc6-dev is already the newest version.

[10:21] <Cyball> thx

[10:38] <JDahl> have you tried booting with acpi etc. turned off? It could be that your motherboard has powermanagement or interrupt control that doesn't agree well with the standard kernel

[10:54] <fyrestrtr> Okita: the *year* 1903 ?
[10:54] <Okita> fyrestrtr: Hmm, no?  This started first when my computer ran out of batteries and turned off

[10:55] <Okita> fyrestrtr: I tried ntpdate, and that gets KDE to show the right time, but not the "date" command.  Not sure if that's related to it stalling at a status bar screen when starting KDE
[10:55] <Okita> fyrestrtr: Yes

[10:55] <fyrestrtr> Okita: hrmm this is looking more and more like a hardware issue.

[10:56] <bimbam> Hi, i got this kinda wierd problem. When pinging a hosts IP ping runs as expected, but when pinging the hostname, response time is the same, but the interval between each ping becomes like 5 times greater. For instance pinging 4 times to the ip number finishes in 4 seconds, pinging to the host name finishes in 15 seconds. Both ways i get the same response time. A normal nslookup on the hostname resolves virtually instantly.
[10:56] <fyrestrtr> Okita: hrmm, that could be something as simple as you remove kdm from the startup scripts.

[10:57] <fyrestrtr> bimbam: sounds like your dns server is laggy, although it should be coming up from cache.
[10:57] <colossal> fyrestrtr: i installed the fglrx ati driver, had a look at glxgears, shows around 3000fps up from about 1200 before the driver, is that going to make a significant difference?
[10:57] <fyrestrtr> colossal: yes, very might.
[10:57] <fyrestrtr> *much
[10:57] <Okita> fyrestrtr: Ok, I'm just not sure what went wrong that its behavior changed in the first place
[10:58] <bimbam> fyrestrtr, does it do a lookup for every packet or just each time you run the ping command, because the delay is between each packet sent, not only between commands
[10:58] <fyrestrtr> needs a bit more troubleshooting.
[10:58] <rubuntus> fyrestrtr, at fluxbox irc channel, they said it was in ubuntu and xorg the problem laid, it wasn't fluxbox.. but whats the package name of the keyboard selector in ubuntu desktop?
[10:58] <fyrestrtr> rubuntus: I don't know the package name :(
[10:59] <fyrestrtr> bimbam: try your luck with tracepath, see if the lag appears. Do you have ipv6 enabled?
[11:00] <OmniD> Does GAIM direct connect for itself at all

[11:09] <ACU> Renan: maybe 20 users at a time
[11:09] <Renan_s2> ACU, I would add memory and a faster hard drive.
[11:10] <magneticmos> rem_, u work for Microsoft?
[11:10] <magneticmos> lol
[11:10] <rem_> huh
[11:10] <rem_> ?
[11:10] <erUSUL> !paste > jordan
[11:10] <ThAixStYLe> maybe i'm just not cut out to run Ubuntu...maybe my comp is just crap
[11:11] <longwave> ThAixStYLe what problems are you having?
[11:11] <dm_> how do i convert a RPM to a DEB?
[11:11] <dm_> !rps
[11:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rps - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:11] <rem_> U insult me .... ??
[11:11] <longwave> dm_: check out the alien package
[11:11] <dm_> longwave :) ty
[11:11] <ardchoille> dm_: Which app is it?
[11:11] <ThAixStYLe> hehe...you name it: Graphic glitches, comp freezing, and now i screwed with the ATI drivers and ended up messing up X windows
[11:11] <dm_> ardchoille BitPim : )
[11:11] <fyrestrtr> dm_: what are you installing?
[11:12] <dm_> BITPIM
[11:12] <Dravas> Is there an Mac OS X like Dock
[11:12] <paradizelost> !lvm
[11:12] <ubotu> Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[11:12] <fyrestrtr> Dravas: gdesklets has something like that.
[11:12] <Dravas> ok
[11:12] <Stormx2> This could sound wierd, but could someone give me a command string I could use to check my cURL installation? Just to check its working correctly and such.
[11:12] <dm_> longwave sudo alien ?
[11:12] <ThAixStYLe> i figured that maybe the source of all my woes was the default graphics driver, so i tried installing the newer ATI driver...now i'm shit outta luck
[11:13] <tomo666> gui mysql administrator hangs when i click user can anyone help me with the workaround, IM me plz
[11:13] <bimbim> fyrestrtr, ok, ipv6 is now gone, but still seeing the delays
[11:13] <dm_> longwave nm got it
[11:13] <longwave> dm_: "sudo alien -d package.rpm"
[11:13] <longwave> at least i think that's right :)
[11:13] <ardchoille> dm_: Using alien to convert a rpm to a deb is a last resort. It would be better to compile from source.
[11:13] <dm_> ardchoille source stinks :P
[11:14] <dm_> longwave sudo dpkg -i file.deb?
[11:14] <fyrestrtr> Stormx2: curl http://www.google.com/
[11:14] <longwave> yes
[11:14] <dm_> been a while thanks : )
[11:14] <^Z3D^> does anyone here know anything about "dvdrip"?
[11:14] <longwave> dm_: beware this may not work straight away though, it may be linked to other library versions that ubuntu doesn't have
[11:14] <dm_> longwave ive dont this prog before a long time ago :) same version
[11:15] <dm_> longwave hmm things have changed
[11:15] <fyrestrtr> goodnight :)
[11:15] <dm_> longwave can i pastebin this to you  ? im not familiar with this
[11:15] <ardchoille> g'nite fyrestrtr
[11:15] <longwave> yeah sure
[11:16] <boolka> Is it possible to migrate from ubuntu to kubuntu?
[11:16] <dm_> longwave maybe you can identify what libs im missing
[11:16] <Renan_s2> boolka, yes, apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[11:16] <longwave> dm_: i can try at least :)
[11:16] <zenwhen> sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[11:16] <ardchoille> boolka: You only need to sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop to get the kde desktop
[11:16] <dm_> boolka yes, but KDE is a different experience
[11:17] <dm_> longwave http://pastebin.ca/128266
[11:17] <zenwhen> if you decided you dont want kubuntu anymore you can use sudo aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop
[11:17] <dm_> zenwhen removing kubuntu is not as easy as that some times
[11:17] <boolka> dm_, yes i know :) I want that veriety
[11:17] <zenwhen> has been that simple for me on many occasions.
[11:18] <dm_> boolka good luck  : )
[11:18] <etzerd> hello ubuntu people
[11:18] <dm_> hello zerd
[11:18] <boolka> Renan_s2, that would not remove my gnome would it?
[11:18] <Renan_s2> boolka, no
[11:18] <etzerd> ubuntu is the best Linux out there ever, that version 6 is cool
[11:18] <alexi5> hello
[11:18] <dm_> longwave any idea?
[11:18] <longwave> dm_: try "cd /usr/lib; sudo ln -s libtiff.so.4 libtiff.so.3"
[11:19] <Renan_s2> your GNOME will be left untouched, in fact.
[11:19] <ardchoille> etzerd: Indeed :)
[11:19] <alexi5> what is a cd burning program i can use to burn CD ISOs
[11:19] <longwave> dm_ ubuntu ships with libtiff4 but the app needs libtiff3, hopefully they are compatible
[11:19] <alexi5> and DVD ISOs
[11:19] <etzerd> I love ardchoille
[11:19] <paradizelost> hey anyone know of a good ubuntu LVM howto? the ones in !lvm are WAAAAY long
[11:19] <Renan_s2> alexi5,  k3b
[11:19] <paradizelost> and not specific
[11:19] <dm_> longwave that worked thanks
[11:19] <blocky> can somebody help me with compiz and xgl
[11:19] <etzerd> I have SUSE 10.1 install in my machine, I uninstall that crap so fast and replace it with ubuntu 6
[11:19] <alexi5> is it one that doesn't require the kde modules
[11:19] <paradizelost> blocky  check #ubuntu-xgl
[11:19] <longwave> blocky try #ubuntu-xgl
[11:19] <blocky> i followed the instructions in the ubuntu wiki but when i logged into the Xgl session I had lost direct rendering
[11:19] <Gog123> can i use synaptic on freespire?
[11:20] <blocky> thanks
[11:20] <Gog123> freespire seems like a great os, the only downside is its tied to the linspire paid repository
[11:20] <etzerd> I have a question can anyone help me
[11:20] <Gog123> but its debian based
[11:20] <longwave> !ask
[11:20] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:20] <paradizelost> etzerd: !ask
[11:21] <etzerd> when I use GNOME the icons are so huge on the desktop is there anyway I can decrease the size of the Icon on the desktop?
[11:21] <etzerd> I know how to do it in KDE not in GNOME
[11:21] <longwave> etzerd: right-click the icon and choose "stretch icon" ?
[11:22] <etzerd> that will stretch them all or just one?
[11:22] <longwave> just the one
[11:22] <longwave> there may be a way to set the default size, probably in gconf somewhere
[11:22] <dm_> longwalk ahh can finally pull those pesky pictures off my old cell phone :) thanks for your help
[11:22] <longwave> np :)
[11:23] <RadiantFire> there is no menu way to change icon size in gnome :-P, if its in gconf it will be somewhere in the nautilus app probably
[11:23] <nicholaspaul> Heeeeeeeeeey! I have a problem logging in from OSX vai Samba. The user/pass prompt comes up, but then it says
[11:23] <Greatn> why isn't my file search working?
[11:23] <nicholaspaul> 'alias doesnt exist'.
[11:23] <nicholaspaul>  I can login to other machines on the network, just not this one - whats up?
[11:23] <RadiantFire> nicholaspaul: did you use smbpasswd -a <username>
[11:23] <nicholaspaul> RadiantFire: yea but I'll try again..
[11:23] <RadiantFire> p.s. it should be run sudo
[11:25] <nicholaspaul> RadiantFire: whoa. resetting the passwd did the trick. :) Thx! I love easy solutions!!
[11:25] <RadiantFire> :-)
[11:25] <RadiantFire> glad to be of help
[11:26] <bimbim> Im running ubuntu dapper server. Whenever I log in by ssh there is a 5 second delay from entering the user name before the password prompt appears. Is there a way I can reduce that delay?
[11:27] <corevette[1] > please i beg help.....i just need to talk 1 on 1 with someone that knows how to do basic networking.......i've been trying to get help for days on this irc
[11:27] <longwave> bimbim: ssh is probably checking reverse DNS for the connecting IP for that delay
[11:27] <longwave> bimbim: if you have no rdns record that can cause ssh to be slow
[11:28] <longwave> corevette[1]  just ask your questions
[11:28] <kb5iav> hello
[11:28] <bimbim> longwave, thats very possible, as im working remotely from an isp im not used to
[11:28] <kb5iav> got Ubuntu running on an old clunker I had lying around
[11:29] <corevette[1] > longwave, i've been trying to ask my question for a while: The older computer I was using had a Netgear WG311T wireless card and worked perfectly with Ununtu Linux DD. Loved it so much I put it on my new computer. I ran into some roadblocks though. The first one was the screen resolution problem...but was an easy fix: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+ticket/1354 . But also...the networking isn't working with the same
[11:29] <bimbim> longwave, i think ill chalk it up to that, ty
[11:29] <longwave> what's wrong with the networking?
[11:29] <Renan_s2> !info rl
[11:29] <ubotu> Package rl does not exist in dapper
[11:29] <Renan_s2> !info randomize-lines
[11:29] <ubotu> randomize-lines: randomize lines of input text. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.4 (dapper), package size 13 kB, installed size 76 kB
[11:30] <corevette[1] > see.....no one will still answer my question longwave\
[11:30] <corevette[1] > longwave
[11:30] <pppoe_dude> how can i hide desktop icons?

[11:31] <carpediem> pppoe_dude: depends....which icon, what desktop (KDE or Gnome)
[11:31] <corevette[1] > bimbim what do you mean waiting? ij ust said it a few lines ago....: The older computer I was using had a Netgear WG311T wireless card and worked perfectly with Ununtu Linux DD.

[11:32] <pppoe_dude> carpediem, gnome and the ones on the desktop. i tried the gnome tweaks but they only allow for either nautilus to draw the desktop or not, not to hide icons or anything
[11:32] <corevette[1] > oh ok
[11:32] <carpediem> pppoe_dude: are they auto-mount icons for your devices?

[11:33] <Krafturinn> TheGateKeeper:  : i was just buying 3 month subscription to cedega .)
[11:34] <carpediem> pppoe_dude: if they are actually things you don't want on your desktop, put them somewhere else.  or start their name with a period.
[11:34] <finfe> I wonder why there's no free alternative to cedega
[11:34] <corevette[1] > ahh hold on...it might be a while

[11:49] <seatouch> i installed from the site with the .sh script
[11:49] <ccooke> Duski: from a backup? when they've been destroyed?
[11:49] <Duski> ccooke: DriveReady SeekComplete Error
[11:50] <Duski> disk is still there
[11:50] <NewUbuntuUser> gnome-screensaver crashes gdm when activated how can i fix this?
[11:50] <longwave> tomo666: how did you install mysql administrator? how do you usually start it?
[11:50] <ArAnWe> where is config file for mouse please ?
[11:50] <Duski> but no partitions
[11:50] <carpediem> NewUbuntuUser: it may crash your X session, I don't think its crashing gdm
[11:50] <NewUbuntuUser> ok
[11:50] <wasauce> anyone know how i can install the xmgr plotting program on ubuntu?
[11:50] <NewUbuntuUser> how do i fix it either way?
[11:50] <NewUbuntuUser> it takes me to the login screen
[11:50] <Crazed> AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH Im insane!
[11:51] <NewUbuntuUser> ahhhhhh oh no crazy man!
[11:51] <tomo666> longwave: i used synaptic and run it from my menu on desktop
[11:51] <ccooke> Duski: ... so, it sounds like your hard disk is starting to die, or has died.
[11:51] <carpediem> NewUbuntuUser: 1) turn it off.  2) figure out if you've chosen a broken screen saver or something.
[11:51] <Duski> :) right
[11:51] <ccooke> Duski: have you made *any* changes to it of *any* sort before this happened?
[11:51] <NewUbuntuUser> the screen saver is defaulted
[11:51] <carpediem> NewUbuntuUser: I don
[11:51] <Duski> nope, it was running few days
[11:51] <ccooke> Duski: new disk? old?
[11:51] <NewUbuntuUser> how do i turn it off if i cant open the gnome-screensaver to change the settings?
[11:51] <carpediem> NewUbuntuUser: I don't know what you mean by that
[11:51] <Duski> old
[11:52] <mzuverink> NewUbuntuUser, you could also start with looking at the xserver log file
[11:52] <Duski> 60GB
[11:52] <longwave> tomo666: sorry i think it is "mysql-admin" not -administrator
[11:52] <NewUbuntuUser> the screen saver is the default
[11:52] <Duski> western
[11:52] <ccooke> Duski: right.

[11:52] <Duski> this is my story
[11:52] <Duski> :)
[11:52] <carpediem> NewUbuntuUser: disable gnome-power-manager in your Startup Programs.
[11:52] <ccooke> Duski: if you run 'sudo fdisk -ls /dev/hda', does it find any partitions?
[11:52] <Duski> sorry for that paste
[11:52] <Renan_s2> Duski, your hard drive is dying, I believe
[11:52] <Pntkl> hi
[11:52] <longwave> Duski that sounds like your drive is dying
[11:52] <saptech> hello all
[11:53] <qwerty2k> hi
[11:53] <carpediem> NewUbuntuUser: Then log out and back in, or kill it manually.
[11:53] <tomo666> longwave: tomo@server1:~$ export DEBUG_DONT_SPAWN_FETCHES=1 mysql-admin bash: export: `mysql-admin': not a valid identifier
[11:53] <ccooke> Duski: Unless you are incredibly, incredibly lucky... your disk is dead. Ship it out to a data recovery service if you absolutely must have the data back.
[11:53] <Duski> fdisk can't open that drive
[11:53] <ccooke> Duski: be aware that will cost, though
[11:53] <erider> irc.bizirc.net
[11:53] <ccooke> Duski: right. Sounds dead. You can check it out in another OS just to be sure, though
[11:54] <Renan_s2> tomo666, try: DEBUG_DONT_SPAWN_FETCHES=1 mysql-admin
[11:54] <ccooke> Duski: it is *just* this side of possible that there's some bug in the kernel ubuntu is using - but I really doubt it.
[11:54] <longwave> Duski: download the hard drive testing software from the drive manufacturer
[11:54] <longwave> Duski: that should confirm it either way
[11:54] <tomo666> renan_s2: thx very much it worked
[11:54] <Duski> i have checked in windoze, gentoo, widows is absolutly blind :)
[11:55] <Duski> i need 3 MB from there
[11:55] <Duski> :(
[11:55] <ccooke> Duski: unless you can pay for data recovery, forget it.
[11:55] <carpediem> ccooke, Duski: you can usually use dd to retreive an image of the drive, mount the image as a loop device and snag what's there.
[11:55] <tomo666> longwave: renan_v2 cracked it thx for ur help
[11:55] <ccooke> carpediem: he said fdisk can't open the disk
[11:55] <nuaimat> hi guys,  i am using ubuntu dapper drake 6.06 , i can't get wine to run , it prints out a lot of error msgs , but i cant figure out where is the problem
[11:55] <Renan_s2> if no OS can detect it, then I would say that the drive is R.I.P.
[11:55] <ccooke> carpediem: or I'd have suggested that...
[11:55] <nuaimat> !wine
[11:55] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[11:56] <longwave> Duski: what filesystem is on that drive?
[11:56] <Duski> ext2 , ext3 (boot + /)
[11:56] <carpediem> ccooke: I don't think that precludes dd from working for sure, but I could be wrong.
[11:56] <tomo666> Renan_s2: thx again cya
[11:56] <ccooke> carpediem: it does. dd has to read from the device, just like fdisk
[11:56] <longwave> yeah you might be able to dd it, skip the errors, and somehow find the partitions and superblock but it's not gonna be easy to recover
[11:57] <nuaimat> guys , a wine problem , any help ?
[11:57] <carpediem> ccooke: fdisk also needs to be able to read the partition table, dd doesn't
[11:57] <ccooke> carpediem: remember, it's unix - everything's a file. If the file doesn't work, you're... well. A word that I try not to use in public channels
[11:57] <tomo666> longwave: thx again sorted it
[11:57] <longwave> it may be that nothing at all is readable
[11:57] <longwave> tomo666: ok np
[11:57] <birdmun> nuaimat, wine problem how?
[11:57] <askjf> Hello
[11:57] <nuaimat> birdmun: i am using ubuntu dapper drake 6.06 , i can't get wine to run , it prints out a lot of error msgs , but i cant figure out where is the problem
[11:57] <ArAnWe> please, i am getting crazy of this .... i need to set no acceleration and i can't find any config or anything, where i could set up mouse .... thank you very much
[11:58] <birdmun> nuaimat, not that i can help but then no one can help with out knowing your problem :)
[11:58] <birdmun> nuaimat, what are you trying to run w/ wine?
[11:58] <ccooke> carpediem: that's a different error - if it can't *find* a partition table, or if it's invalid, that is.
[11:58] <nuaimat> birdmun: how can i tell you the problem , the log output is tooo long
[11:58] <askjf> !Wiki
[11:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about Wiki - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[11:58] <ccooke> carpediem: but both dd and fdisk read (or write) to the disk device
[11:58] <askjf> can i get the Wiki link?
[11:58] <longwave> nuaimat: put the output in a pastebin so we can all see it
[11:58] <nuaimat> ok longwave
[11:59] <birdmun> i have not recently tried just running wine all by itself
[11:59] <longwave> !wiki
[11:59] <ubotu> wiki is http://wiki.ubuntu.com - Loads of user-contributed documentation
[11:59] <Duski> ccooke: is there a easy way how to mount it as a loop device ?
[11:59] <Duski> i'm not sure about the bloxksize
[11:59] <longwave> the bot doesn't really need to be case sensitive, does it?
[12:00] <birdmun> im lookin for help with a program called odyssey its for programming microchip PIC uC's
[12:00] <Wibble-> hey - I'm trying to compile a program that uses g++.  I had gcc 3.3 base etc installed already, but neither gcc nor g++ can be invoked by just "gcc" or "g++" - they need to use the full name - g++.3.3.  This doesn't work with the programs I'm trying to compile - can anyone help?
[12:00] <ccooke> Duski: you dd the data from the device file, then mount that as a loop device - 'sudo dd if=/dev/hda of=disk_image bs=8192' would do it.
