[12:01] <jpowermacg5> if you are running ubuntu as livecd... how do u get mp3 to work?
[12:01] <Peacer> where can i fix driverproblems with my netcard?
[12:01] <Peacer> or what do i have to write in teh commandline ;)
[12:01] <Pulshion> jpowermacg5 -- u need to get restricted codecs, and i suggest to install ubuntu
[12:01] <tomaczec> don_jr: btw, my special favorite when it comes to scipting (beside bash) is Ruby at the moment. maybe you will also glimpse at this language.
[12:01] <kkathman> ravenous:  at the login splash, choose the session type from the bottom left corner, then set whether its permanent or just for that session.
[12:01] <jpowermacg5> pulshion.. which codecs?
[12:01] <pequatre> longwave, yes it works without the dvd. there _is_ a copy protection scheme on this dvd but last week i managed to get by that, only i don't remember how :/
[12:02] <Pulshion> !restricted
[12:02] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  -  See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html  -  But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[12:02] <raich> jpowermacg5: don't bother to ask that, those codecs are only availible on installed ubuntu
[12:02] <don_jr> tomaczec never heard of it, I'll look into it! thanx
[12:02] <don_jr> what kind of stuff can you do with scripting?
[12:02] <cmiller> I'm getting a file limit exceded error when trying to write files bigger than 4gb. How do I fix this?
[12:02] <Peacer> someone -_-
[12:02] <kkathman> jpowermacg5:  short answer, you dont
[12:02] <raich> cer, look into your vendo's web
[12:02] <raich> Peacer, look into your vendo's web
[12:02] <jpowermacg5> oh.. bleh.... thought it would be cool if u could install the files
[12:02] <raich> jpowermacg5: me too
[12:02] <ladydoor> don_jr: anything your computer can do, i guess...
[12:03] <Peacer> vendo's web?
[12:03] <raich> ladydoor: what's the difrence between program and script?
[12:03] <raindog> How can I see what speed at which my modem is connected?
[12:03] <raich> Peacer: vendor's
[12:03] <_lupine>  cmiller: switch to a different file system
[12:03] <Peacer> vendor's*
[12:03] <ladydoor> raich: i think it's just semantic...
[12:03] <itrebal> what steps doe sit take to allow macromedia flash to play audio? i'm currently having issues, iv'e been told tolook for the flash config file gbut i'm not sure whereit'db e
[12:03] <Pulshion> is there a way to get atitool to work in ubuntu?
[12:03] <ladydoor> raich: though a script is human-readable
[12:03] <_lupine> raich: scritps are interpreted, programs are compiled
[12:03] <tomaczec> don_jr: nearly everything you can do with a language like C(++) or Java... or Mono.
[12:03] <raich> ladydoor: oic
[12:03] <ladydoor> raich: what _lupine siad
[12:03] <don_jr> Interesting, it should be neat to see what I can come up with to try and do

[12:06] <lupine_85> XMoto!
[12:06] <kikaida> can someone help me please
[12:06] <raich> Peacer:  company? organisation? brand? mark?
[12:06] <cmiller> _lupine: I'm using ext3, which should be fine right?
[12:06] <raich> Peacer: of your netcard of course
[12:06] <Peacer> ahh
[12:06] <lupine_85> kikaida: what with?
[12:06] <lupine_85> not for 4GB files
[12:06] <Peacer> if i could remember <.<
[12:06] <kikaida> my etho connection
[12:06] <jpowermacg5> i just installed mp3 support on ubuntu live.. lol
[12:06] <Pulshion> longwave -- i am using it, but i need some tool to make my fan spin harder for the video card and also check temp of the gpu
[12:06] <lupine_85> what is it plugged into at the other end
[12:07] <jpowermacg5> bout time i figured that out
[12:07] <raich> Peacer: it must be on the card.... somewhere
[12:07] <ladydoor> jpowermacg5: you can install stuff on a live cd??? how does it remember what you've installed?
[12:07] <kikaida> i cant pick it when its on dhcp
[12:07] <exxon> how can I change file permissions on the /opt/azureus folder so that azureus can install updates?
[12:07] <kikaida> only if i config it
[12:07] <Peacer> going to look there :)
[12:07] <jpowermacg5> it doesn't unfortunately... i wish there was a puppyOS variant of ubuntu
[12:07] <kikaida> but i cant config it correctly
[12:07] <Pulshion> exxon -- sudo azureus
[12:07] <jpowermacg5> save changed back to the disk
[12:08] <ladydoor> exxon: sudo chown exxon:exxon /opt/azureus/*
[12:08] <lupine_85> so dhcp isn't working?
[12:08] <raich> okok, got it, why are free software games so crappy?
[12:08] <kikaida> yep
[12:08] <ladydoor> exxon: then, sudo chown exxon:exxon /opt/azureus
[12:08] <longwave> Pulshion: hrm, i've never seen anything that does that on linux, but it may exist..
[12:08] <lupine_85> !wesnoth!
[12:08] <ubotu> wesnoth: fantasy turn-based strategy game. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.1+reverted+to+1.0.2-0ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 1541 kB, installed size 3436 kB
[12:08] <Pulshion> exxon -- have to run azureus with root privelages so u can install updates
[12:08] <jpowermacg5> i wonder if i can install the real drivers for my surround sound
[12:08] <ladydoor> exxon: and do the same for any subfolders in /opt/azureus
[12:08] <raich> wenoth's graphics just suck!
[12:08] <Pulshion> longwave -- hmm
[12:08] <Davey-> raich, would you spend all your time making a sweet assed game then give it away?
[12:08] <Davey-> I wouldnt
[12:08] <Davey-> ;P
[12:08] <Pulshion> longwave -- even the app that gives the temp for video card?
[12:09] <raich> Davey, well, 40k people are working on sweet ass programs and giving it away
[12:09] <kikaida> nvm i will figuer it out
[12:09] <exxon> ladydoor: Thanks!
[12:09] <Davey-> programs are dif then games
[12:09] <Davey-> :P
[12:09] <Davey-> lol
[12:09] <sh4dox> yaay my 3d desktop works!! XD
[12:09] <exxon> Pulshion: Thanks! :)
[12:09] <longwave> Pulshion: lm_sensors generally does things like that but i don't know if it will do GPU temperature
[12:09] <Pulshion> exxon -- did it work? np
[12:09] <raich> Davey -- haha
[12:09] <greg> hi
[12:09] <raich> hey
[12:10] <Pulshion> longwave -- do i apt-get lm_sensors?
[12:10] <ladydoor> exxon: np
[12:10] <greg> can some one help me setup xawtv?
[12:10] <Luck> My browser(Firefox in Linux Ubuntu) is slower than browser in Windows at the same machine in the same time. About 5times. Is Linux slower than Win?
[12:10] <raindog> Does Firefox not save passwords in Ubuntu?
[12:10] <longwave> Pulshion: the package name is lm-sensors i think
[12:10] <sh4dox> remaining probs in ubuntu:
[12:10] <sh4dox> -irda
[12:10] <sh4dox> -wifi
[12:10] <lupine_85> Luck: I've got the opposite situation
[12:10] <Luck> I had before Mandriva and was it same .
[12:10] <ladydoor> Luck: try installing swiftfox
[12:10] <greg> can someone help me setup xawtv?
[12:10] <longwave> Pulshion: sensors-applet will let you add temperatures to a gnome panel, too
[12:11] <lupine_85> hard to say what the problem might be, really
[12:11] <raich> Luck: no. GNOME is slower maybe
[12:11] <ladydoor> Luck: http://getswiftfox.com/ubuntu.htm
[12:11] <lupine_85> KDE runs like a steamer ;)
[12:11] <ladydoor> Luck: swiftfox is an optimized build of firefox
[12:11] <Luck> lupine_85: I dont know why I have slow Firefox. :'-(
[12:11] <FantasticFoo> i'm using fglrx, and want to switch over to radeon, but can't seem to do it
[12:11] <lupine_85> me neither
[12:11] <ladydoor> Luck: and on my computer at least, ubuntu is many times faster
[12:11] <Luck> I have Intel Celeron M.
[12:11] <Pulshion> longwave -- installing right now
[12:11] <FantasticFoo> can anyone help?
[12:11] <lupine_85> it'll be a configuration issue of some form
[12:12] <ladydoor> lupine_85: try swiftfox!
[12:12] <jpowermacg5> what's the best gnome music player that's almost as good as amarok?
[12:12] <lupine_85> my firefox is plenty fast enough
[12:12] <FantasticFoo> i loaded "radeon" as a module at bootup, and added "radeon" as the driver in my xorg.conf
[12:12] <lupine_85> besides, I'm on the 2.0b1
[12:13] <Peacer> it's an mpx en5038
[12:13] <AbstractIdiot> Hey
[12:13] <SpComb> what the hell is the !#ubuntu-ops at th end?
[12:13] <idefix> where do you set file-extension associations in ubuntu?
[12:13] <AbstractIdiot> Can anyone help me with the installer?
[12:13] <SpComb> some grand invention of freenode's?
[12:13] <pequatre> hey again. longwave, i've fixed my problem by: 1) not putting the dvd in and wait ubuntu to boot 2) starting GXine 3) nothing: gxine starts playing as soon as the dvd is inserted 4) all of the other players (vlc, totem, etc...) are now working...  ??????
[12:14] <ompaul> SpComb, yes :)
[12:14] <SpComb> what does it do?
[12:14] <jpowermacg5> anyone know the best gnome music player?
[12:14] <OneSeventeen> I just finished making a .tgz of my server (minus proc, lost+found, mnt, and sys) and am about to do a dist-upgrade from breezy to dapper
[12:14] <OneSeventeen> any tips?
[12:14] <Pulshion> longwave -- i installed it but how do i run it now?
[12:14] <ompaul> they are forwarded from here to -ops
[12:14] <ladydoor> OneSeventeen: good luck!
[12:14] <Peacer> hmm
[12:14] <SpComb> you mean if they try and join while banned?
[12:14] <longwave> Pulshion: sensors-applet or lm-sensors?
[12:14] <Peacer> driver problems with my mpx en5038
[12:14] <Peacer> netcardf
[12:15] <Peacer> netcard*
[12:15] <AbstractIdiot> When I got to partition in the installer I clicked next after selecting an option and it just kept loading for 10+ mins
[12:15] <longwave> pequatre: that's a bit odd. i don't do much dvd playing with linux so i'm not sure why that is, really...
[12:15] <ladydoor> AbstractIdiot: what option?
[12:15] <justin_> Does Ubuntu use the EXT3 filesystem or the ReiserFS?
[12:15] <Pulshion> longwave -- hmm, neither...i forgot to look sigh
[12:15] <AbstractIdiot> I tried three options
[12:15] <AbstractIdiot> All three apart from blank hdd
[12:15] <ideogram> does anyone else have a problem with sound dying on ubuntu?
[12:15] <mjr> justin_, either, though ext3 is the (sensible) default
[12:15] <x1977x> hi,, can anyone tell me a grub command that will list my hard drives and their partitions?
[12:15] <Peacer> anyone able to help?
[12:15] <pequatre> longwave, it must be the protection scheme on the dvd and gxine must in some way bypass it, well i guess.
[12:15] <ladydoor> justin_: ext3 is the default, but i seem to remember an option to use reiserfs
[12:15] <AbstractIdiot> I even tried to make one in GPartition or whatever
[12:16] <AbstractIdiot> And it said it'd done it but nothing asctully changed
[12:16] <OneSeventeen> are there any differences in the dist-upgrade for servers, or do I do the same as I would do for a desktop?
[12:16] <ladydoor> AbstractIdiot: are you on the livecd?
[12:16] <justin_> Alright, cause I have read that Reiser is much faster then EXT3 ..
[12:16] <AbstractIdiot> I just downloaded the first option on the download page
[12:16] <longwave> x1977x: "sudo fdisk -l /dev/hda" will list partitions on hda
[12:17] <cmiller> When using md5sum, what is the command to make a md5sum file of a dvd on /dev/hdc ?
[12:17] <ladydoor> AbstractIdiot: i'll take that as a yes. please put my nick before a response so i'll know you respond, otherwise i won't be able to help you well
[12:17] <AbstractIdiot> ladydoor: okay
[12:17] <ladydoor> AbstractIdiot: thanks. ok, so what exactly happens after you click the option?
[12:17] <raindog> Can ayone suggest a good podcast manager/aggregator for Ubuntu?
[12:17] <Hobbes`> anyone know the openfirmware command to boot the ubuntu cd ?
[12:17] <AbstractIdiot> ladydoor: Well the loading cursor comes on, CPU goes to 100% and stays there.
[12:18] <AbstractIdiot> Nothing else
[12:18] <AbstractIdiot> Just keeps loading
[12:18] <x1977x> longwave: my problem is that the grub command "root" can't seem to find and harddrives
[12:18] <Hobbes`> boot cd <-- says LOAD-SIZE is too small
[12:18] <Peacer> where is the eth0 conf file located?
[12:18] <lupine_85>   /etc/network/interfaces
[12:18] <ladydoor> hmmmm....it doesn't tell you it's partitioning or anything? how did you make the loading go away?
[12:18] <foxure> Somebody that can help me med SMB? i have downloaded and change the config file. the service starts fine. but i cant connect or se the server in WinXP and Debian Desktop
[12:18] <ladydoor> AbstractIdiot: hmmmm....it doesn't tell you it's partitioning or anything? how did you make the loading go away?
[12:18] <x1977x> grub> root (hd0, [TAB]  gives me: "Error 21: Selected disk does not exist"
[12:19] <AbstractIdiot> ladydoor: Closed the installer
[12:19] <AbstractIdiot> ladydoor: The screen stays exactly the same. I can do other stuff e.g. use programs
[12:19] <AbstractIdiot> ladydoor: I can also cancel the instalelr
[12:19] <ladydoor> AbstractIdiot: are you trying to resize a windoze partition to make room for *buntu?
[12:19] <AbstractIdiot> ladydoor: Yes
[12:20] <longwave> x1977x: sorry, i don't know grub that well
[12:20] <idefix> where do you set defaults for explorers etc.?
[12:20] <AbstractIdiot> ladydoor: Maybe I could try partitioning on Windows and then using the free spacE?
[12:20] <ladydoor> AbstractIdiot: ok...well i've gtg. so i'll ask whether anybody knows whether you need to use a native windowz tool
[12:20] <ladydoor> AbstractIdiot: that's what i was going to suggest :-)
[12:20] <OneSeventeen> the instructions for dist-upgrade say to be sure ubuntu-desktop is installed first, but I'm upgrading a server... do I still need to install ubuntu-desktop?
[12:20] <longwave> x1977x: is this ide, sata, scsi...?
[12:20] <ladydoor> AbstractIdiot: though you'll still need a partition editor livecd
[12:20] <AbstractIdiot> ladydoor: I'll do that, any free partitioners you can suggest?
[12:20] <x1977x> SATA
[12:20] <fuoco> what happens if i have software from a repository, and then i remove that repository ?
[12:21] <AbstractIdiot> ladydoor: Then again you don't use Windows I assume
[12:21] <ladydoor> AbstractIdiot: i don't know, for windowz. google windows ntfs partition resize
[12:21] <AbstractIdiot> Thank
[12:21] <AbstractIdiot> s
[12:21] <longwave> x1977x: do you have any other drives connected?
[12:21] <ladydoor> AbstractIdiot: np. oh! and when you install ubuntu
[12:21] <x1977x> yeah, one IDE NTFS for storage
[12:21] <longwave> x1977x: ah, look in /boot/grub/device.map
[12:21] <ladydoor> AbstractIdiot: i *highly* suggest manually partitioning so you can make a separate partition for /home (where your personal files will go)
[12:22] <longwave> x1977x: the ide drive may be hd0 and the sata drive hd1..
[12:22] <ladydoor> AbstractIdiot: 'bye now. good luck!
[12:22] <AbstractIdiot> ladydoor: Incase of corruption or anything?
[12:22] <Davey-> w00t no more stupid touchpad tap
[12:22] <AbstractIdiot> ladydoor: Bye
[12:22] <ladydoor> AbstractIdiot: not so much corruption as just in case you ever decide to use a different linux os or have to reinstall, which are both unusual
[12:22] <Davey-> it kept pasting things while I was typing
[12:23] <x1977x> thats true, the hd0 is the IDE.. but even when i root (hd1,0) or root (hd1, [TAB] ,, selected disk does not exist...???
[12:23] <fredsa> abstractIdiot, you can go one step further and have a separate partition for your apps. That way, if you do have to reinstall, everything will be exactly as you left it
[12:24] <OsirisX11> ati and nvidia video cards: I currently have an nvidia 5200 agp card installed and I want to also install an ATI all-in-wonder pci card, will they get along or should i just remove the nvidia one?
[12:24] <dad> when i create a new partition, should i place it in the beginning or end?
[12:25] <ideogram> Windows should understand multiple video cards
[12:25] <longwave> x1977x: there are some bugs about this in launchpad, they might have some more clues
[12:25] <ideogram> oh oops this is ubuntu channel
[12:25] <longwave> x1977x: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/grub/+bugs?field.searchtext=sata
[12:25] <mjr> OsirisX11, they should work, though 3D only through one of them (nvidia is incompatible with DRI)
[12:25] <fredsa> dad, probably best to put it in the next available free space. You should try to avoid moving partitions if you can (though that is possible).
[12:25] <x1977x> awesome,, tyvm :)
[12:25] <sh4dox> good bye ya all
[12:26] <__mikem> why is everybody leaving
[12:26] <OsirisX11> mjr: so what should i do? just install the card and install the ati drivers? it won't mess up my nvidia driver? how will the ati one know it needs to control the pci card?
[12:26] <x1977x> dinnertime
[12:27] <amar-ze> anyone have or had trouble starting xchat on xgl+compiz
[12:27] <amar-ze> I can't start it
[12:27] <fuoco> what happens if i have software from a repository, and then i remove that repository ?
[12:27] <mjr> OsirisX11, you might have to spesify pciids in the config file. As for Ati's proprietary driver, which you probably mean, I don't know if the package coexists well with the nvidia one; would guess not
[12:27] <mjr> fuoco, you don't get updates
[12:28] <inewguy> hi, I am having a weird display problem with my very fresh dapper install: http://img86.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot2ig9.png
[12:28] <inewguy> notice the buttons
[12:28] <don_jr> Is it possible to access my windows files from my ubuntu side of the partition?
[12:28] <inewguy> the color changes each time I start a dialog
[12:28] <inewguy> sometimes it's the right, sometimes it's green, ywllow, black, ...
[12:28] <fuoco> mjr: but it wouldn't ask to remove it ?
[12:29] <mjr> fuoco, no
[12:30] <dad> is it okay to have 3 primary partions
[12:30] <dad> or should i use extended instead?
[12:30] <lupine_85> 3 primary is fine
[12:30] <Mike-X2> Hi all
[12:30] <lupine_85> extended is for 5+
[12:30] <tomaczec> dad: you can have 4 primary partitions.
[12:30] <fuoco> is there a way to play mp3 files - i must have multiverse or not ?
[12:31] <dad> okay.
[12:31] <lupine_85> fuoco: libxine-extracodecs (I think)
[12:31] <dad> also is 5 gigs for root 2 gigs for swap and 3 gigs for home , an okay break down?
[12:31] <Mike-X2> having some probs on installing NVIDIA-gfx driver on 6.06
[12:31] <micahcowan> lupine_85, but then, as I understand it, you would not be able to have any extendeds, if you had 4 primaries.
[12:31] <lupine_85> true enough
[12:31] <lupine_85> but the OP asked if he should use extended with "3" primaries
[12:32] <lupine_85> ;)
[12:32] <Mike-X2> cant enable nvidia-config
[12:32] <zingo^> hi, im trying to get Steam to work with Wine. I did install and update it, i got the mozilla-extension but it crashes after the update thing and i get this message in console: dbghelp:EnumerateLoadedModules If this happens, bump the number in mod
[12:32] <lupine_85> dad: my / is currently using 4.1GB
[12:32] <tomaczec> dad: can you afford more for the 'home'?
[12:33] <lupine_85> I've not instalelld that much extra...
[12:33] <longwave> dad: 2 gigs for swap is probably overkill, also
[12:33] <Tonren> Hey guys, I've downloaded pure-ftpd and ran it with the -e (anonymous only) option.  I successfully connect but when it says USER anonymous, it disconnected.  What's wrong?  Also, where does anonymous get to upload stuff?
[12:33] <lupine_85> I've got 512MB RAM and 2.5GB swap
[12:33] <lupine_85> needless to say, I'm not swappign right now ;)
[12:33] <longwave> how much of that swap do you ever use though?
[12:33] <tomaczec> dad: usually users (in /home) store a lot of data (images, documents, sound)...
[12:33] <superbenk> hello
[12:33] <lupine_85> Tonren: pure-ftpd creates a new user ftp where anonymous stuff goes
[12:33] <fuoco> in fact, how well does a system without multiverse would work ? what features would it lack ?
[12:33] <ideogram> is there a quicktime player for ubuntu/firefox?
[12:34] <lupine_85> but I don't think that upload is enabled by default
[12:34] <longwave> if you only have 10gb to play with to be honest i wouldn't bother with separate / and /home
[12:34] <superbenk> I'm curious (maybe this is a dumb question), is the XGL/Compiz stuff in Ubuntu available on PPC (Mac G4) architectures/
[12:34] <Blissex> Tonren: usually FTP dmons need also to _enable_ anonymous, and then enable uploads. Make sure also that you have the anonymous FTP directory set up right.
[12:34] <lupine_85> xmoto :)
[12:34] <longwave> except that it makes reinstalling harder, of course :)
[12:34] <Mike-X2> HEY ANYONE there cant help me with some NVIDIA probs??
[12:34] <Tonren> lupine_85: So, do I need to do "sudo adduser ftp"?
[12:34] <Blissex> Tonren: anyhow check the logs in '/var/log', the FTP dmon will have logged the problem
[12:34] <Mike-X2> pretty new to linux
[12:34] <adminx> Hi, just want to confirm. If you have a Intel video card you cannot use XGL, you must use AIGLX. Is this correct?
[12:34] <lupine_85> no, it should be done automatically
[12:34] <x1977x> longwave: i was planning on wiping my IDE drive and reformatting it so i dont have NTFS problems,, would it be worth putting ubuntu there instead?
[12:34] <lupine_85> check your /home directory
[12:35] <Blissex> Mike-X2: try #NVIDIA
[12:35] <mjr> adminx, well, aiglx would at least probably be better for you
[12:35] <longwave> x1977x: i guess so, grub will hopefully detect things better if it is on the ide drive
[12:35] <Mike-X2> adminx: was that to me??
[12:35] <longwave> x1977x: i scanned through those bug reports and it is a known problem that grub is braindead sometimes when it comes to handling drive order
[12:36] <Tonren> Blissex: I've definitely enabled anonymous - I've set it to anonymous-only mode.  There don't seem to be any switches to enable anonymous uploads
[12:36] <x1977x> yeah, that's what i saw as well,, and o dont see any fixes either..
[12:36] <Tonren> lupine_85: There's no FTP directory there.
[12:36] <lupine_85> then it didn't create the user?
[12:36] <adminx> Thankx
[12:36] <longwave> x1977x: yeah it seems to mostly affect people trying to boot from sata, booting from pata looks like a better bet if you can
[12:36] <Kameli> Hi! How i can install the newest flashplayer, i observed http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_Flash_Player_.28Macromedia_Flash.29_Plug-in_for_Mozilla_Firefox but sudo update-flashplugin
[12:36] <Kameli> installation failed
[12:36] <Kameli> :(
[12:37] <Tonren> What's webmin?
[12:37] <tomaczec> hafta, cya.
[12:37] <Davey-> Kameli, thats odd
[12:37] <x1977x> grrr..  thanks,,,  thats so much more work than i wanted to put into this lol ;)
[12:37] <Mike-X2> Kameli:  Just find a site that contains flash and do the install manual
[12:37] <longwave> x1977x: if you have time, contribute your experiences to the bug report, it may help get it fixed quicker :)
[12:38] <Kameli> Mike-X2: ok
[12:38] <Kameli> Mike-X2: do u know how i can hear sounds on flashes and video.google.com when im on skype with my friend? :)
[12:38] <atm0sph> is anyone here familiar with the shift-backspace bug?>
[12:38] <atm0sph> and the xmodmap to fix it?
[12:39] <Mike-X2> Kameli: example www.americasarmy.com and press the green ticker with the plugin
[12:39] <inewguy> what can I do about my buttons having randomly strange  colors like this: http://img86.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot2ig9.png ? :(
[12:39] <goatslayer> hey, i have compiz, and i cant install any themes?
[12:39] <atm0sph> goatslayer: are you using the gnome-window-decorator?
[12:39] <goatslayer> does anyone know how to install themes on it?
[12:40] <goatslayer> how do i check?
[12:40] <Mike-X2> Kameli: download it to your /home
[12:40] <dcordero> I have a problem, i am addict to Frets On Fire :)
[12:40] <atm0sph> goatslayer, uhmm you can type ps -A and see if it's running?
[12:40] <goatslayer> that just shows some stuff.
[12:40] <atm0sph> yeah - do you see a line that says "gnome-window-decorator" ?
[12:41] <mrDaniel> who i can download a .debpackege from the ubuntu-repostiry with synaptic or apt-get or other method?
[12:41] <goatslayer> it says PID TTY
[12:41] <goatslayer> nope.
[12:41] <goatslayer> but i have compiz runnign.
[12:41] <Tonren> lupine_85: Blissex: All that's happening is this: USER anonymous ... Disconnecting from site.  There's no "error".  The FTPD definitely isn't creating ~ftp, either.
[12:41] <atm0sph> ok but compiz isn't the window decorator - a window decorator is what actually draws the windows and the minimize/max/close buttons - open a temrinal and type "cgwd &" and see what happens
[12:41] <lupine_85> mrDaniel: you can just browse the repos in a web browser
[12:41] <atm0sph> compiz just gives you your window EFFECTS...  it doesn't actually draw the windows
[12:42] <lupine_85> or there might be an equiv. to --fetchonly, I guess
[12:42] <lupine_85> man apt-get
[12:42] <JDStone> where do I report Ubuntu bugs?
[12:42] <dcordero> mrDaniel there are a apt option for download a package. apt-get install package --download or something like that

[12:42] <JDStone> thanks ubotu
[12:42] <JDStone> hmm
[12:42] <JDStone> sure I'll ask longwave
[12:42] <exs> i want my sound to work, if anyone can help me..

[12:43] <JDStone> longwave: let me just refer you to https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/smbldap-tools/+bug/53789
[12:43] <longwave> x1977x: i'm still not entirely sure what that file does..
[12:43] <Mike-X2> Kameli: as i can remember heard from a linux-friend, u cant have two sound-server running at same time. I THINK dont hang me up on that:-)
[12:43] <flasher> http://www.litaquatics.com/courses/ <--- Can anyone tell me if they see anything at the center of this page?
[12:43] <x1977x> the very bottom of https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/grub/+bug/8497 suggests that might work

[12:44] <zorba64> flasher, click on each course...with no courses showing
 nothing but two buttons and text : click each...
[12:45] <Tonren> Can anyone help me with setting up anonymous FTPd?
[12:45] <flasher> fogos: you mean "home" and "close window", right?
[12:45] <flasher> zorba64: so you see a list of courses?
[12:45] <zorba64> nope...empty
 right
[12:45] <flasher> zorba64: oh, empty. what did you mean then by "click on each course"
[12:45] <pequatre> aciao tous
[12:45] <flasher> ?
[12:46] <flasher> zorba64: oh, you were typing what you read
[12:46] <zorba64> flasher, yup...sorry 'bout the confusion
[12:46] <Blissex> Tonren: The FTPD definitely isn't creating ~ftp then create it right. IIRC there is a special package to setup anon-ftp
[12:47] <Tonren> Blissex: It seems like yo'ure just supposed to create a user called "FTP" with /dev/null as the home dir
[12:47] <lupine_85> hehe
[12:47] <lupine_85> not /dev/random ?
[12:47] <Blissex> Tonren: not necessarily... It can be rather more involved. Usually anon FTP is done via 'chroot'.
[12:47] <lupine_85> (good for reading config-files)
[12:47] <Tonren> lupine_85: I guess that would probably work too
[12:47] <`Evil> can someone help me please with this error since a dist-upgrade on Edgy : gnome-settings-daemon exited with Status 1 ?
[12:48] <exs> how do i make my sound work?.. thanks
[12:48] <Tonren> Blissex: Oh.  Hm... yeah, and I don't see how it would work with the FTP user having a password and all
[12:48] <Samuli^> exs, if you are expecting any answers you need to elaborate more on that.
[12:48] <Tonren> Blissex: I don't see any packages for setting up anonymous FTP though
[12:48] <goat> Ok, so how do i check if i have gnome decorator?
[12:49] <Blissex> Tonren: the 'ftp' user must not have a password. It must be a disabled account. there are PureFTPD tutorrials on setting up anonymous IIRC
[12:49] <rsa> Hi can somebody help me, iam trying to configure samba but its not working at all :( It keeps asking for a stupid password or something .. iam going insane please help me, note to all helper iam on a full CLI base so pastebin will be tought to say the least. Anyhelp would rock

[12:52] <micahcowan> OneSeventeen, they're not crucial... I like having them, but then I'm a TeX geek.
[12:52] <longwave> OneSeventeen: presuming you are not using TeX, then yes

[01:04] <bobovski> Hazarath: ok, thanks
[01:04] <Geoffrey2> [TOP] vip3r, for Broadcom, there's an application that you can install that will extract the necesarry software from the WIndows drivers
[01:04] <longwave> rsa: i remember having problems with guest access from xp machines, so i switched to using passwords and it works fine now
[01:04] <Brushwell> greg: go look in Adept.
[01:04] <Hazarath> [TOP] vip3r, Heh... my motherboard does it too... sometimes ya gotta do it a few times, even a zero fill might help... quick, might add.
[01:04] <cramm> So it seems the seeding of DVD .iso images is borked (the same happes with Kubuntu btw). When searching for an alternative Google shows this page http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ that is a page generated bit the BitTornado tracker. If I use the .torrent file from there I can start downloading the image but the filename of the .iso is different (ubuntu-6.06.1-dvd-i386.iso) , moreover the MD5 sum is different. So it seems to be a snapshot or so
[01:04] <cramm> mething
[01:05] <rsa> longweave i will b back.. it seems i need to reboot my router.. hold on brb in 10
[01:05] <[TOP] vip3r> Geoffrey2: there is also software for my cisco card
[01:05] <[TOP] vip3r> but
[01:05] <eternaljoy> hi
[01:05] <[TOP] vip3r> it needs files in order to run
[01:05] <FlimFlamMan> any recommendations for an easy, secure irc (or other chat) server in ubuntu's repositories?
[01:05] <eternaljoy> is there any gui front end for mplayer?
[01:05] <Brushwell> FlimFlamMan: try SILC.
[01:05] <[TOP] vip3r> and i cannot compile those files for some reason
[01:05] <Cwiiis> Can anyone tell me with any certainty whether using the nvidia driver installer will break future upgrades of the nvidia-glx package?
[01:05] <JoseStefan> cramm, ubuntu has benn updated to .1 which avoids long updates from the initial release
[01:05] <longwave> cramm: 6.06.1 is an update from the original 6.06 release, what exactly is the problem with the torrents?
[01:05] <FlimFlamMan> Brushwell: i'll check it out, thanks
[01:06] <Mike-X2> NVIDIA-problems here, someone help please!!!!!!!!!
[01:06] <[TOP] vip3r> Geoffrey2:   the cisco software wants me to install   libsigc++_1.0.4 and gtkmm_1.2.10

[01:06] <Hazarath> Mike-X2, Like what? *has a nVIDIA motherboard*

[01:08] <[TOP] vip3r> ANYONE have a Cisco 350 series wifi card? if so how did u get it to work?????

[01:09] <Hazarath> Mike-X2, I never heard of that.. I ussaly don't have anthing I need to configure... got a nVIDIA GeForce FX 5200, EnForce sound, PCI host brige... a nVIDIA motherbord, but never saw a ned to run it.
[01:09] <jimd> The printer is not capable of PostScript natively
[01:10] <longwave> jimd: i suspect you would do better asking an in depth question like that on the forums
[01:10] <Peacer> Mike-X2 open a term
[01:10] <Hazarath> However: I still have aproblem, lol
[01:10] <Peacer> and type this

[01:10] <Mike-X2> Peacer:rgr
[01:10] <Mike-X2> there
[01:10] <Peacer> it will take you through an x-setup
[01:11] <Peacer> be sure to choose manually in the start
[01:11] <Mike-X2> sweet sounds for my ear :-)
[01:11] <Peacer> now wait a bit
[01:11] <JoseStefan> is there a gui equivalent to dpkg-reconfigure?
[01:11] <Peacer> go to /etc/X-11
[01:11] <Hazarath> Still need help with Xchat...
[01:11] <Peacer> and copy xorg.conf
[01:11] <Peacer> then you have it safety copied in case you do something wrong

[01:14] <Hazarath> Ok... if someone PMs me, I get this: *user* message in the current tab. No new tab.
[01:14] <Dr_Willis> tainted_,  i tend to install a few from the pakcage manager and just use those.
[01:14] <tjcarter> okay, the kernel build directions in !kernel are wrong, but I now know how to do it right  =)
[01:14] <yacc> tainted_: I use ion3 as an environment ;)
[01:14] <MrRio> tainted_, try glossp from art.gnome.org
[01:14] <yacc> tainted_: Little use for a mouse, and little use for a themes ;)
[01:14] <Saimazoon> Hello

[01:14] <Saimazoon> I mean, the video player that comes by default with the standard ubuntu installation
[01:15] <MrRio> tainted_, http://art.gnome.org/themes/gtk2/571
[01:15] <tainted_> ion3 sucks
[01:15] <yacc> Hazarath: Try it on a different network, FreeNode is atypical when it comes to privmsg.
[01:15] <tainted_> but looks usable
[01:15] <rsa> Ok iam back
[01:15] <yacc> tainted_: Why does it suck? *wonder*
[01:16] <JoseStefan> peacer, how do I get there?
[01:16] <Hazarath> yacc, This is in Esper.net, this network, etc.
[01:16] <[TOP] vip3r> can i install a livecd verson of unbuntu on a harddrive where windows is installed?
[01:16] <jimd> longwave: So here's a slightly more general question:
[01:16] <tainted_> yacc: compared to something like the osx or vista interface
[01:16] <Hazarath> yacc, Don't use 'FreeNode, anywho.
[01:16] <CTU24> I just installed an ubuntu LAMP server.  I'm a Newb with linux.  Where do I place my web pages for apache?  or where would I set up directories for each website?
[01:16] <tainted_> GlossyP looks very Aqua
[01:16] <yacc> tainted_: Well, GUI interfaces suck ;)
[01:16] <eobanb> [TOP] vip3r, yes
[01:16] <jimd> Has anyone successfully added and used a printer while booted off the LiveCD?
[01:16] <RMorris84> is there a way i can make my mouse swicth to a diff workspace without clicking on the bar at the bottom?
[01:17] <MrRio> CTU24: /var/www
[01:17] <[TOP] vip3r> eoband: will it copy any files to that harddrive?
[01:17] <yacc> tainted_: I'm getting paid for getting work done, and not fooling around with eye-candy that makes my workstation slow down.
[01:17] <MMXGN> Hello, anybody has been able to set up wireless with 9108?
[01:17] <CTU24> MrRio:  is that where I put each directory for each separate website if I'm creating more than one?
[01:17] <MMXGN> (us robotics)
[01:17] <rsa> Hallo person who helped me
[01:17] <MrRio> CTU24, yes, you can make seperate directories in there
[01:17] <rsa> with the samba whatecer
[01:17] <tainted_> yacc: then what are you doing making gui suggestions on an irc channel?

[01:18] <rsa> tainted_ dud u install irssi yet?
[01:18] <Saimazoon> How can I add quicktime support for totem
[01:18] <yacc> tainted_: ion3 is an ui, if it's a gui is arguable :)
[01:18] <Hazarath> Yacc?
[01:18] <yacc> tainted_: I'm waiting for DB replication to sync up.
[01:18] <tainted_> rsa: not yet

[01:19] <rsa> tainted_ u rember what guy helped me?
[01:19] <tainted_> no
[01:19] <Hazarath> yacc, nothinng new... not to my knowlage.
[01:19] <CTU24> MrRio:  It seems like when I tried this before in a previous install with ubuntu 5, that I had to change the "ownership" of the files in /var/www before they would work.  Is that right?
[01:19] <[TOP] vip3r> eoband: will it copy any files to that harddrive?
[01:19] <tainted_> ubuntu stole 4 hours of my life on wireless hax0ring
[01:19] <yacc> Hazarath: Did it work before and stopped, or did it never work :)
[01:19] <rsa> Who can help me setup samba, it keeps being a smartass by asking username and pass "
[01:19] <Wiseguy> hey guys, im trying to get my palmpilot to work and this is the output of my dmesg when i try to hotsync: http://pastebin.com/776830  does anyone know what the problem might be?
[01:19] <longwave> CTU24: you will need to change them so the www-data user can read them, either by giving them that owner or group or making them world-readable
[01:20] <Hazarath> yacc, Sorked, stopped.
[01:20] <Hazarath> ^worked
[01:20] <rsa> longweave dude iam back can u help me w. the samba thing now please
[01:20] <MrRio> CTU24, That's right, you can chown the /var/www directory to your username, if you're the only one writing into it
[01:20] <MMXGN> tainted_, any luck? :P
[01:20] <CTU24> longwave: what do mean by "world-readable"  does that mean they wouldn't have any type of security on them?
[01:20] <MrRio> CTU24, sudo chown youruser /var/www
[01:20] <Dr_Willis> rsa,  you have given the linux user s a samba password yet? with 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME' ?
[01:20] <MMXGN> I cant configure ubuntu to work with usr9108 with wireless
[01:20] <[TOP] vip3r> if i use livecd version will it copy any files to my harddrive?
[01:20] <tainted_> MMXGN: yea.. ndiswrapper...
[01:21] <longwave> CTU24: yes, any user on the system can read them. but generally if they're web pages, this isn't a problem
[01:21] <rsa> Dr_Willis iam trying to view my samba shares w. WindowsXP laptops
[01:21] <MMXGN> can someone explain me what ndiswrapper does?
[01:21] <CTU24> ok, cool thanks people!
[01:21] <Dr_Willis> rsa,  you mean the 'home' shares? or did you create some new samba shares?
[01:21] <[TOP] vip3r> mmxgn are u haveing wifi troubles as well?
[01:21] <[TOP] vip3r> my card installs but i cannot connect to the isp

[01:21] <rsa> Dr_willis home shares
[01:22] <Hazarath> yacc, I'm not going over ya head, am I?
[01:22] <yacc> Hazarath: ?
[01:22] <MMXGN> but i have laready set up my wifi card
[01:22] <Dr_Willis> rsa,  you need to give each user a samba password like i mentioned above - for XP to be able to access their home shares.
[01:22] <MMXGN> (Apple imac here)
[01:22] <MMXGN> i just cant set up the network :/

[01:22] <rsa> Dr_willis my friend who is also here doesnt have to do that, but right now i will do it anyway that works, can u please guide me in the right direction
[01:22] <tjcarter> Why the <explitive> does Ubuntu's K7 kernel support Microchannel!?
[01:23] <Wiseguy> anyone have any experience with pda's and ubuntu?
[01:23] <MMXGN> MrRio, no , but iwconfig finds my AP :)
[01:23] <Dr_Willis> rsa,  he could be confused.. or somthing.. ive always had to make a samba password for each user. and i also edit the samba config files
[01:23] <tjcarter> Wiseguy: Palm PDAs.
[01:23] <tainted_> what icon theme do you guys use
[01:23] <eobanb> MMXGN, don't worry about ndiswrapper then
[01:23] <MMXGN> thanx for the info ubotu
[01:23] <eobanb> MMXGN, it's a bot....
[01:23] <Hazarath> Ya.
[01:23] <rsa> Dr_willis ok, well we will do it your way
[01:23] <eobanb> MMXGN, is it a ppc or x86 imac
[01:24] <MMXGN> ppc
[01:24] <JoseStefan> eobanb, just because it's a bot doesn't mean it doesn't have feelings...
[01:24] <rsa> dr_willis so just add a user w. smbpasswd?
[01:24] <tainted_> seems like none of the icon sets are a full set except for Human
[01:24] <MMXGN> eobanb, im not a racist :) i love bots
[01:24] <Dr_Willis> rsa,  you give the user a  samba password.
[01:24] <rsa> Dr_willis which user? myself? (rsa) doesnt it auto do that?
[01:24] <JoseStefan> tainted_, did you try tangerine? and tango?
[01:25] <MMXGN> but i want to do it from console, only edgy eft works on my imac without freezing and there doesnt seem to be network-manager working
[01:25] <Deags|Gone> hi
[01:25] <yacc> Hazarath: probably. Well, I did hack some private module for xchat (technically an AIM bridge *g*), but I have no idea what's wrong with your xchat ;)
[01:25] <Dr_Willis> rsa,  the ones that you want to have remote access to their HOME dirs..  so whoever ya want.. if it auto-did-that - then we wouldent need to be doing it :P
[01:25] <Daiferas> If I am using Banshee to listen to shared music on my college's network, is there any easy way to copy their songs to my hdd?
[01:25] <Deaigo> i woke up to alot of processes dead
[01:25] <Deaigo> why would that be?
[01:25] <Dr_Willis> rsa,  and yes there are some methods to make the samba password and user passowrd 'sync' but i never messed with those methods
[01:25] <[TOP] vip3r> so can someone tell me how to use this ndiswrapper?
[01:26] <rsa> dr_willis trye ok hold on let me smbpasswd thing 1 moment :) need 2 read man pages
[01:26] <Wiseguy> tjcarter, i have a sony clie... an older one
[01:26] <Daiferas> vip3r: if you have the driver you need installed, type "sudo ndiswrapper -i <driver .inf path>"
[01:26] <yacc> [TOP] vip3r: Never used it in a user-friendly fashion ;)
[01:26] <tjcarter> Wiseguy: model?
[01:26] <[TOP] vip3r> so it basically used the windows version of the driver?
[01:27] <Daiferas> actually, you should check the ubuntu wireless wiki to see if you need ndiswrapper
[01:27] <tjcarter> [TOP] vip3r: yeup.
[01:27] <Daiferas> you should be able to find your card model on there and get the driver it says you need
[01:27] <[TOP] vip3r> i am running in circles
[01:27] <Daiferas> okay
[01:27] <Daiferas> so did you get the driver the wiki told you to for your card model?
[01:27] <Dr_Willis> rsa,   'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME'
[01:27] <tjcarter> Wiseguy: Not all clies are totally supported.
[01:27] <[TOP] vip3r> i havent gone there yet but this is what i tried

[01:28] <Daiferas> use the wireless wiki first. they'll tell you what drivers work for what cards.

[01:28] <Daiferas> one moment
[01:28] <Dr_Willis> rsa,  its possible you need to restart the samba services.. not sure about that part.
[01:28] <Wiseguy> ummm something 665... one sec :P
[01:28] <[TOP] vip3r> im here nm
[01:28] <tjcarter> Wiseguy: with a Palm though you have a pretty good shot--it's the people with shiny new WM5 devices who are screwed.
[01:29] <Wiseguy> damn, it doesnt even say on the case
[01:29] <rsa> Dr_willis just did that ^^
[01:29] <louie_> hello?
[01:29] <[TOP] vip3r> hmm
[01:29] <Daiferas> i'm getting it
[01:29] <Deaigo> does ubuntu automatically kill processes if load breaks say 50?
[01:29] <[TOP] vip3r> is the wiki site dead?

[01:30] <Deaigo> it takes about 12 hours for it all to start again
[01:30] <yacc> Deaigo: more realistitic is that you run out of memory.
[01:30] <louie_> i'v been running ubuntu since breezy and this is the first problem that i can't fix myself form the forums
[01:30] <yacc> OOM does kill processes :(
[01:31] <tjcarter> Wiseguy: chalcedony was here this morning (17:30 now) and her son still actively works on pilot-link, the central thing you'll be using with *pilot
[01:31] <[TOP] vip3r> hmm
[01:31] <[TOP] vip3r> says mine works right out of the box
[01:31] <[TOP] vip3r> which it did
[01:31] <[TOP] vip3r> but i cannot connect to my isp with it
[01:31] <yacc> Deaigo: dmesg should show messages about OOM if that was the culprit.

[01:32] <Nerevar> Im so frustrated.
[01:32] <Deaigo> shouldn't that give the computer plenty?
[01:32] <Wiseguy> tjcarter, does this mean anything to you? http://pastebin.com/776830
[01:32] <tjcarter> MikeyMike: a macbook will not work with PPC Ubuntu because a macbook is not PPC  ;)
[01:33] <JoseStefan> MikeyMike, you can try the livecd without installing
[01:33] <MikeyMike> i didnt think it was
[01:33] <Screach> any one know if ubuntyu supports a dlink wireless card or will I have to use ndiswrapper??
[01:33] <yacc> Deaigo: That depends what you are doing with it ;)
[01:33] <Screach> sorry about the spelling
[01:33] <Rookie-> ubuntu supports the same thing as any linux does
[01:33] <tjcarter> warning on the intel Macs:  Unless Ubuntu has a patch that probably wasn't available when 6.06 was being finalized, you can't use grub on them.
[01:33] <yacc> Deaigo: I've got some boxes with 16GB RAM and it's not enough ;)
[01:33] <rsa> Dr_willis still no go
[01:34] <louie_> well, i guess i'll go find help somewhere else
[01:34] <MikeyMike> tjcarter,  is it hard to intsall ubuntu on a intel core mac
[01:34] <Deaigo> what annoys me
[01:34] <tjcarter> MikeyMike: if I get time tonight, I'll try it  =D
[01:34] <Deaigo> is now i have to wait 12 hours for it to check all this shit
[01:34] <Hazarath> yacc, got my message?
[01:34] <rummik> well, i just installed a program to view quictime files in mozilla...should i restart mozilla?

[01:34] <jacques> hello
[01:34] <yacc> Hazarath: nope.
[01:34] <rsa> Dr_willis still no go =X
[01:34] <Hazarath> yacc, I did install 'SysTray Integration Plugin Version 2.4.5' recently... not sure how to remove to try to fix.
[01:35] <yacc> Hazarath: I have no tray :)
[01:35] <tjcarter> MikeyMike: most of what you need in the kernel is there, I don't know about grub is all

[01:36] <RMorris84> whats the diff between gksudo and sudo?
[01:36] <Jack_Sparrow> !ati
[01:36] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:36] <MikeyMike> gk is for the window manager
[01:36] <RMorris84> sudoers
[01:36] <eobanb> gksudo is graphical, RMorris84
[01:36] <RMorris84> lol
[01:36] <longwave> RMorris84: gksudo sets up the environment properly for gui apps
[01:37] <JoseStefan> RMorris84, gksudo is for gui
[01:37] <jacques> when i try and download easyubuntu i get this error:IOError: [Errno 2]  No such file or directory: './packagelist-hoary.xml'
[01:37] <jacques> . Please help
[01:37] <Flannel> jacques: easyubuntu isn't supported by ubuntu, try #easyubuntu
[01:37] <RMorris84> so say i have easy ubuntu.. i can like gksudo a file and it will make it run in a gui no the terminal?
[01:37] <tjcarter> Wiseguy: it does look familiar to me actually.  This is the kind of problem you need to report to GregKH.
[01:37] <JoseStefan> !easyubuntu > me
[01:38] <Flannel> RMorris84: gksudo isn't part of easyubuntu
[01:38] <RMorris84> what can i gksudo then?
[01:38] <longwave> RMorris84: no, if the app is a terminal-only app, you can't force it to run as a gui app
[01:38] <RMorris84> lol
[01:38] <longwave> RMorris84: you could say gksudo a text editor if you wanted to edit a file in /etc as root
[01:38] <Flannel> RMorris84: you gksudo normal windowed apps, like, gedit and stuff
[01:38] <little_caesar> does anyone know where my keymap should be? I'm trying to start a keylogger on my system
[01:38] <tuxtux> good night
[01:38] <JoseStefan> !tell RMorris84 about gksudo
[01:39] <Flannel> RMorris84: anytime you want to use sudo, but the program runs in a window, use gksudo instead
[01:39] <JoseStefan> !tell RMorris84 about sudo
[01:39] <RMorris84> im new to this... we all have to start somewhere

[01:42] <ZZIZIZ> hi all
[01:43] <joey_> anyone know how to clear totem's history?
[01:44] <joey_> I can't seemt o find the option anywhere.
[01:44] <bytewalker> what package can i apt-install to get the unrar utility?? i cant find it:(
[01:44] <JoseStefan> back
[01:44] <longwave> !info unrar
[01:44] <ubotu> unrar: Unarchiver for .rar files (non-free version). In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:3.5.4-0.1 (dapper), package size 84 kB, installed size 216 kB
[01:44] <longwave> bytewalker: you need to enable multiverse i guess
[01:45] <mcphail> joey_: i think it clears if you select "Clear recent documents" from the GNOME places menu
[01:45] <joey_> oh okay, thanks
[01:45] <Noumaan> is there an irc chat room for ubuntu loco teams?
[01:45] <mish4> do you guys use xchat for irc?
[01:45] <tjcarter> Apple uses a broadcom chip on PPC Macs for wifi.  I bet they are using the Intel chip on Mactels
[01:45] <joey_> success, thanks mcphail.
[01:46] <varsendaggr> Noumaan, what?
[01:46] <bytewalker> wow weird im prty sure i used to have it enabled, my sources.list musta got messed up somehow
[01:46] <Jack_Sparrow> mish4: konversation
[01:46] <warlock> How to disabling apache2 logs ? (which are stored in /var/logs/apache2/access.log) ?
[01:46] <bytewalker> ohh weird, i had universe but not multiverse
[01:46] <Noumaan> varsendaggr, is there a chat room for various local teams on ubuntu
[01:47] <varsendaggr> what is a local team?
[01:47] <Noumaan> all local teams
[01:47] <varsendaggr> i am not following
[01:47] <Noumaan> I mean some place for local teams to communicate and learn from each other
[01:47] <JoseStefan> Noumaan, there are language specific chat rooms
[01:47] <longwave> warlock: the configuration for apache logs is in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default if you are using the default setup
[01:47] <Noumaan> JoseStefan, well actually I have ran across some problems with my local team
[01:47] <warlock> let me try
[01:48] <bytewalker> i enabled multiverse and i still cant get unrar
[01:48] <varsendaggr> Noumaan, we live in a connected world   when it comes to the internet there is no suchj thing as local
[01:48] <bytewalker> the only package is unrar-free and it doesnt give me the unrar command:(
[01:48] <MikeyMike> if you had a choice between a new dell inspiron and a macbook to put ubuntu on which would you choose? the dell obviously?
[01:48] <varsendaggr> where is your local team?
[01:48] <longwave> bytewalker: i think you need the non-free component of multiverse
[01:48] <JoseStefan> bytewalker, did you refresh repositories (update)
[01:48] <warlock> ok longwave, what should i do in that folder?
[01:48] <warlock> I mean file *
[01:48] <Noumaan> I have been told that by editing the Team page on ubuntu Wiki I have violated Ubuntu Code of Conduct
[01:48] <warlock> serversignature off ?
[01:48] <bytewalker> JoseStefan yep
[01:48] <longwave> warlock: you may be able to just comment out the CustomLog line, i am not sure, i have never wanted to entirely disable logging before
[01:49] <bytewalker> can i use unzip for .rar files?
[01:49] <warlock> FOUND IT
[01:49] <Noumaan> I have been warned that my membership to the local mailing list will be canceled if I try to hijack the team
[01:49] <warlock> sorry man, caps and stuff. Kinda tired
[01:49] <MikeyMike> if you had a choice between a new dell inspiron and a macbook to put ubuntu on which would you choose? the dell obviously?
[01:49] <tjcarter> MikeyMike: On a cold day in Dell!
[01:49] <my_true_hero> Hi. I'm trying to install xubuntu on an older machine, and it is hanging at the splash screen. It says "Loading essential drivers...         ok", and then just sits there. Can someone please help me figure out what's going on?
[01:49] <Noumaan> I guess this is very much against the ubuntu spirit and I want to talk someone about this
[01:49] <longwave> bytewalker: no, you need rar, it is non-free so it may not be in the US-based repositories
[01:49] <tjcarter> MikeyMike: Macbook, hands down.
[01:49] <MikeyMike> why?
[01:49] <DarkAudit> MikeyMike: with either one, you're left without a battery ;)
[01:49] <tjcarter> hahaha DarkAudit
[01:49] <RMorris84> hey jose...
[01:50] <Noumaan> varsendaggr, please allow me to private message you since this page is scrolling so fast i am not very good at irc
[01:50] <jimd> Is there a simple commandline PS (PostScript) to PCL filter available for ubuntu?
[01:50] <MikeyMike> isn't the inspiron more supported
[01:50] <RMorris84> what does... the windows key and F2 do in the terminal?
[01:50] <jimd> Somethign that could be apt-get installed into a liveCD session?
[01:50] <tjcarter> MikeyMike: At this point, not really, and the Macbook has a bit higher quality hardware in it I think
[01:50] <tjcarter> MikeyMike: main flaw is the damned mouse button.
[01:50] <MikeyMike> yeah
[01:50] <MikeyMike> well alot of people have inspirons
[01:50] <JoseStefan> RMorris84, dont know
[01:51] <tjcarter> MikeyMike: a lot of people have Compaqs too
[01:51] <MikeyMike> tjcarter,  haha
[01:51] <MikeyMike> true
[01:51] <Phoul> Hello, Can someone tell me why alt f2 isnt working?
[01:51] <tjcarter> MikeyMike: I wouldn't buy one  ;)
[01:51] <MikeyMike> im just saying..... the more people that have it... the more possible it is for issues to be resolved...
[01:52] <tjcarter> Acer makes a reasonably nice lappy for the price
[01:52] <MikeyMike> i have an averatec laptop and the ubuntu live cd wont even work
[01:52] <MikeyMike> no one has averatecs
[01:52] <bytewalker> i gave up on the rar lol i just resent my thing as a .zip
[01:52] <tjcarter> I have a Gigabyte mobo with AM2 socket and NV graphics that hangs before booting the install CD if you let the timer count down for a bit
[01:52] <JoseStefan> bytewalker, should be on multiverse, and package name is "unrar"
[01:53] <MikeyMike> has anyone installed dapper drake on an averatec laptop?
[01:53] <RMorris84> from the terminal can i delete a directory with files in it?
[01:53] <tjcarter> Makes me pine for the oldskool VGA-textmode isolinux loader
[01:53] <my_true_hero> Can anyone please help me with my installation problem?

[01:54] <eobanb> what's that, MikeyMike
[01:54] <Phoul> mine isnt workin for some reason
[01:54] <Phoul> alt+f2 is dead
[01:54] <MikeyMike> averatec is a laptop manufacturer
[01:54] <ladydoor> MikeyMike: that admonition wasn't for you, i think. you asked your questin. another user, however, asked whether anyone could help with a vague "installation problem"
[01:54] <longwave> my_true_hero: what are the specs of this older machine?
[01:54] <RMorris84> how do i exit the man after im done?
[01:54] <varsendaggr> MikeyMike, averitec is a pretty good computer as long as it doesnt have a ati card
[01:54] <RMorris84> :-/
[01:54] <MikeyMike> ah okay
[01:55] <MikeyMike> i think my averatec has nvidia
[01:55] <MikeyMike> no it has intel
[01:55] <eyequeue> RMorris84, q
[01:55] <ladydoor> Phoul: is caps lock on? have you edited any keybindings?
[01:55] <MikeyMike> intel crap
[01:55] <eyequeue> RMorris84, you are in "less"
[01:55] <eobanb> MikeyMike, well, there's great support for intel graphics, so don't worry about it.
[01:55] <Phoul> ladydoor, nope and nope
[01:55] <my_true_hero> longwave: Not entirely sure, I rescued it from my parents' basement. It's a p2, 233mhz, but that's all I could tell you.
[01:56] <longwave> Phoul: is it shown in system > prefs > keyboard shortcuts?
[01:56] <ladydoor> Phoul: curses...i was going to brilliantly suggest that you use whatever program you used to edit the bindings to do it again
[01:56] <my_true_hero> Trying to convert it to a mame box for the living room :)
[01:56] <longwave> my_true_hero: any idea how much RAM it has? that may be the limiting factor here
[01:56] <JoseStefan> my_true_hero, you might need a lighter linux
[01:57] <my_true_hero> longwave: Afraid I don't know how much, no.
[01:57] <MikeyMike> eobanb,  sweet
[01:57] <my_true_hero> JoseStefan: Any distros that you recommend?
[01:57] <eobanb> MikeyMike, what exactly is your question
[01:57] <eobanb> my_true_hero, debian
[01:57] <ladydoor> my_true_hero: you might try removing all the gnome packages and installing a more lightweight window manager
[01:57] <my_true_hero> I just need something that can run mame, really.
[01:57] <ladydoor> my_true_hero: such as fluxbox
[01:57] <MikeyMike> eobanb,  i haven't messed with linux on the laptop lately so i've forgettn what the issue was but i think it couldn't find the display
[01:57] <ppd> hello. where can I look up wether my ethernet card supports crossover emulation (I think it's called autosense or autoswitch. I don't know)
[01:57] <ppd> ?
[01:57] <my_true_hero> ladydoor: I'm installing xubuntu, isn't that already stripped-down?
[01:58] <ladydoor> my_true_hero: ish. but not as stripped down as it *could* be
[01:58] <JoseStefan> ppd, card manufacturer, product page, or PDFs
[01:58] <eobanb> my_true_hero, i think that 233 MHz is still going to be fairly sluggish
[01:58] <eobanb> MikeyMike, what version of ubuntu
[01:58] <sharperguy> ok why am i getting the no screens found error when i updated xorg to fix the bug?
[01:58] <MikeyMike> DD
[01:58] <longwave> my_true_hero: have you looked at AdvanceMAME?
[01:58] <ladydoor> my_true_hero: even xubuntu comes with a bunch of fancy packages
[01:58] <sharperguy> it worked for a while
[01:58] <eobanb> MikeyMike, ...??
[01:58] <wweasel> my_true_hero: it will work, but it will be sluggish.
[01:58] <MikeyMike> dapper drake
[01:58] <MikeyMike> sorry
[01:58] <longwave> my_true_hero: they do a live CD that is mame and not much else
[01:58] <my_true_hero> longwave: No, I shall check it out. Is it a frontend?
[01:59] <JoseStefan> sharperguy, did you run an update before the upgrade ?
[01:59] <sharperguy> yes
[01:59] <sharperguy> I fixed the bug
[01:59] <my_true_hero> longwave: Ah ;)
[01:59] <sharperguy> it was working
[01:59] <eobanb> MikeyMike, did you try a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:59] <wweasel> longwave:" Does the liveCD have an installer? Prolly based on knoppix, as most livecds are.
[01:59] <MikeyMike> eobanb,  negatory i gave up cuz i wasn't that interested
[01:59] <sharperguy> then gdm stopped working
[01:59] <sharperguy> then i reconfigured gdm
[01:59] <MikeyMike> are you in here often I will break down and do it
[01:59] <MikeyMike> sometime soon
[01:59] <sharperguy> and ow x wont start again
[01:59] <eobanb> MikeyMike, i'm in here all the time.
[01:59] <longwave> wweasel: no, it doesnt install anything, advancemame just runs off the cd
[01:59] <MikeyMike> eobanb,  awesome.
[02:00] <wweasel> longwave: Still, many live cds have installers. DSL and knoppix do.
[02:01] <asp> anyone know anyway i can instlal ubuntus from floppy?
[02:01] <jones20992> is ther a channel for xmms

[02:12] <bond_> yay.. upgrade has to download 924 packages o.O
[02:13] <Hellevater> chris_: because MSN wasn't made to transfer files most likely.  Have you tried samba?

[02:13] <tomasz27> how can I backup Ubuntu settings?
[02:13] <chris_> hellevater, samba?
[02:14] <ladydoor> tomasz27: which settings in particular?
[02:14] <rummik> !samba
[02:14] <tomasz27> is there any good utilities?
[02:14] <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

[02:15] <mikeo> added a hard drive and fixmbr was the only way to get my system to work - it killed gurb
[02:15] <ladydoor> tomasz27: i would make copies of any hidden folders in your home dir (onto a cd, for example) that have to do with gnome or themes
[02:15] <mikeo> so how do i restore grub?
[02:15] <Hellevater> chris_: I've never used it personally but I believe it allows you to share files over a network
[02:15] <chris_> Ok, thanks
[02:16] <chris_> I'll give it ago
[02:16] <tomasz27> So just my HOME Dir?

[02:16] <ladydoor> tomasz27: np. i hope it helped

[02:17] <interstellar_ove> the other is integrated intel
[02:17] <mikeo> so the monitors arnt on the same card?
[02:17] <mikeo> no idea then
[02:17] <interstellar_ove> no
[02:17] <interstellar_ove> both cards work by themselves
[02:18] <mikeo> grub doesnt work right now tho
[02:18] <ladydoor> deadlyallance487: go to xmms's website. they'll tell you the channel name if it exists
[02:18] <mikeo> so its useless
[02:18] <interstellar_ove> anyone else want to help me?
[02:19] <Hellevater> chris_: actually I think samba is overkill for what you need.  Try this first http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_share_folders_the_easy_way
[02:19] <mikeo> samba works good tho
[02:19] <mikeo> just have to read up on how to configure it
[02:19] <interstellar_ove> yeah
[02:20] <interstellar_ove> i've read like 12 how tos and i can't get it working
[02:20] <interstellar_ove> also i've had someone here before look at my xorg.conf file but no avail
[02:22] <PingunZ> hey, I want ' application-browser ' to have a logo. So it will be shown right in the menu, how can I do that ?
[02:23] <anthony> why is aMSN transfering at ~7Kb over my lan? windows messenger tranfers at ~10Mb.  anyone any ideas?
[02:23] <eric__> I have been trying to get VMWare player to work with virtual machines of Open SUSE 10.1 and Fedora core 5 I downloaded. Using the VMWare player I installed using add/remove I get the error 'cannot find /dev/vmmon' and the whole player quits.
[02:23] <eric__> Then I tried a complete uninstall of the VMWare player and supporting kernels using Synaptic; then installing VMWare server using the tarball from the vmware web site. But running the install script gives me an error saying that a previous version of VMWare is installed and it quits. I get the same error trying to install the vmware player's tarball.
[02:23] <ladydoor> anthony: try gaim?
[02:23] <eric__> I tried installing VMWare player straight from the terminal:
[02:23] <eric__> sudo apt-get install vmware-player
[02:23] <eric__> and I get the error:

[02:24] <anthony> ladydoor, cheers will do.   I think it's transfering over the internet and not over the LAN :s
[02:24] <ladydoor> anthony: oh, that's a good thing?
[02:25] <anthony> ladydoor, is it hell :P
[02:26] <anthony> ladydoor, nah it's still doing the same. anymore ideas?
[02:27] <ladydoor> anthony: aha...well, i just suggest gaim because it's effective and multiprotocol (so you could have msn, irc, yahoo, etc. all at once)
[02:27] <shawnrgr_> is there any ebay auction software for linux out there? (specifically for sellers?)
[02:27] <anthony> ladydoor, oh right!  blimey this new-fangled linux thing is driving me around the bend: it seems like a constant struggle to do anything!
[02:29] <ladydoor> anthony: :-(
[02:29] <Can0Beans> hey all
[02:30] <bytewalker> is there a metapackage to install for X development? kdevelop says it cant find "X includes" after 'checking for X...'
[02:30] <Can0Beans> anyone intimately familiar with the Dell Poweredge line of servers?  Problem is I can't clear the ESM log because I can't get OMSA installed in Ubuntu....Anyone who understand what I am talking about who can help?
[02:30] <bytewalker> nm i thin i found it, xserver-xorg-dev ?
[02:31] <TheGame> any1 here know of a good place that teaches bash script automation
[02:31] <shawnr_> #bash
[02:32] <JoseStefan> !info xserver-xorg-dev
[02:32] <bytewalker> nm it didnt work.. arrg!
[02:32] <ubotu> xserver-xorg-dev: X.Org X server -- development files. In component main, is optional. Version 1:1.0.2-0ubuntu10.4 (dapper), package size 287 kB, installed size 1644 kB
[02:32] <shawnr_> Anyone know if there are any good ebay seller software for linux out there?
[02:32] <derrickh> bahhhh why did mesa reset all my video drivers?!?!?
[02:33] <ladydoor> TheGame: by that do you mean how to write a bash script?
[02:34] <BHSPitMonkey> tjcarter, eh?
[02:34] <jones20992> is there a channel for xmms ?
[02:34] <tjcarter> Don't try to install the OpenGL development headers under dapper, it creates an impossible situation.
[02:34] <Healot> unpredictable situation, you mean, tjcarter?
[02:34] <PingunZ> I have this error when I try to install someting ::  No /etc/locale.nopurge file present, exiting ...
[02:35] <ladydoor> jones20992: check their website
[02:35] <ladydoor> jones20992: if it exists, it will be there
[02:35] <tjcarter> Healot: a dependency of the package depends on a package that conflicts with it.
[02:35] <jones20992> ladydoor thanks
[02:35] <gunnar_> !vmware
[02:35] <BHSPitMonkey> is anything wrong with the binary nvidia driver? (the one obtained in easyubuntu)
[02:35] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository. Instructions to install VMWare Server can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingVMWare
[02:35] <tjcarter> because the NV package needs to have a Provides: that it does not.
[02:36] <GNu_Joe> Question: how do I put the "home folder" on the desktop, so that the desktop is like other Gnome setups?
[02:36] <BHSPitMonkey> GNu_Joe, you can drag shortcuts from the menu.
[02:36] <GNu_Joe> BHSPitLappy: where is the home folder?
[02:36] <eyequeue> what are shortcuts?
[02:37] <jones20992> how do you get colored text in console ?
[02:37] <ladydoor> eyequeue: they are links
[02:37] <ladydoor> eyequeue: which means
[02:37] <BHSPitMonkey> GNu_Joe, at the top of the "Places" menu
[02:37] <GNu_Joe> BHSPitLappy: thanks!
[02:37] <ladydoor> eyequeue: that basically they point to a different file
[02:37] <BHSPitMonkey> no prob
[02:37] <eyequeue> i know ln, never heard of shortcuts though
[02:37] <BHSPitMonkey> eyequeue, sorry, it's windows terminology. grew up with it.
[02:38] <BHSPitMonkey> I also call directories "folders" sometimes :(
[02:39] <Healot> you can call it folder, it's incorrect, but we know what it means :)
[02:39] <UKMatt> anyone have the link for installing .tar.gz handy?
[02:39] <tjcarter> jones20992: what do you want colored?
[02:40] <eyequeue> UKMatt, man tar
[02:40] <PingunZ> Hey, can someone look at this : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21741
[02:40] <Healot> UKMatt: : do you know what's the content of that tarball, source code or precompiled binary or just ordinary files?
[02:40] <jones20992> tjcarter the text like in gentoo
[02:40] <tjcarter> oh, so you want a console that looks like an angry fruit salad?  =)
[02:40] <UKMatt> healot, it's precompiled
[02:40] <UKMatt> healot, i just don't remember how to isntall it
[02:40] <TheGame> anybody use gdesklets
[02:40] <Healot> UKMatt: just uncompress it.
[02:41] <Healot> tar xfvz filename > UKMatt
[02:41] <Neosystems> Can someone help me?
[02:41] <Neosystems> I want to set my resolution at what my widescreen laptop will allow 1280x800. However, under screen resolution, the highest the resolution will go is 1024x768. On my widescreen laptop, it looks like a big square with two large black bars on the left and right. Is there any way I can make it bigger than what the "Screen Resolution Preferences" allow?
[02:41] <TheGame> ladydoor: i meant like i want to automate my tasks so i guess writing bash scripts would do that right
[02:41] <UKMatt> healot, what if its source code, i remember it being done differnetly
[02:41] <Healot> it should be uncompressed and copied to the current directory
[02:41] <ladydoor> Healot: tar -xfvs filename > ukmatt
[02:41] <tjcarter> jones20992: have you a .bashrc yet?
[02:41] <ladydoor> ukmatt: tar -xfvs filename > ukmatt

[02:41] <UKMatt> ladydoor, -xfvs?
[02:41] <Healot> follow the following factoid
[02:41] <ladydoor> TheGame: to, say, start programs at startup?
[02:42] <UKMatt> healot, ty
[02:42] <jones20992> tjcarter yes but where is it at ?
[02:42] <TheGame> like if i plug in my camera i want it to take the photos off of it and create a directory
[02:42] <ladydoor> UKMatt: yup...in linux, a lot of times options are preceded by dashes if they're single-letter
[02:42] <Agrajag> ladydoor: why s?
[02:42] <Agrajag> and not z?
[02:42] <Agrajag> also tar doesn't need the dash
[02:43] <ladydoor> Agrajag: actually, i was just copying and pasting, not paying attention
[02:43] <ladydoor> TheGame: actually, that's a z on the end and not an s
[02:43] <ladydoor> Agrajag: oh! i've always seen it with a dash. sorry
[02:43] <TheGame> ?
[02:43] <tjcarter> jones20992: have a look at http://warped.bluecherry.net/~knghtbrd/bashrc
[02:43] <ladydoor> TheGame: oh, sorry
[02:43] <TheGame> i didnt say anything
[02:43] <Agrajag> ladydoor: it works either way
[02:44] <tjcarter> jones20992: my .bash_profile contains only:  test -r ~/.bashrc && . ~/.bashrc
[02:44] <TheGame> ladydoor: do you know what im talking about witht he camera though
[02:44] <loopyzort> join #xubuntu
[02:44] <jones20992> tjcarter thanks
[02:44] <ladydoor> TheGame: nope, sorry
[02:44] <silvaran> loopyzort: I think you forgot a '/'.
[02:45] <TheGame> guess im outta lucky
[02:45] <loopyzort> hehe, yeah, sorry about that
[02:45] <silvaran> :)
[02:45] <tjcarter> jones20992: that's the setup I use personally.  The colors chosen are miya's.  Different boxes have different colors

[02:48] <Renan_s2> Has anybody here seen this error in X-Chat: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21742 ?
[02:48] <dmb> Renan_s2: ewww, i hate those kinds of errors
[02:48] <silvaran> dobblego: I'm not an fstab/smbfs expert, but "guest" doesn't seem right to me.. maybe "username=guest"
[02:48] <loopyzort> hey all, is anyone here using wpa_supplicant?
[02:49] <loopyzort> w/o network-manager
[02:49] <dobblego> silvaran, I can mount manually with -o "guest,ro"
[02:49] <UKMatt> yeah, trying to install http://www.gnome-dock.org/trac and its not working for me
[02:49] <dobblego> silvaran, I got that from man smbmount
[02:49] <silvaran> dobblego: Hence the "I'm not an fstab/smbfs expert" :)
[02:49] <silvaran> dobblego: What kind of error do you get?
[02:49] <dobblego> sudo mount -t smbfs //host/music /data/music/ -o "guest,ro" -- works
[02:50] <silvaran> dobblego: You can also mount on a per-line basis by doing "mount /data/music" or "umount /data/music"
[02:50] <dobblego> silvaran, I don't get an error - it just doesn't mount at boot - I don't know where to look for an error
[02:50] <iCod> is it possible to mount an ipod in wine?
[02:50] <UKMatt> it has no files for ./config
[02:50] <silvaran> dobblego: MAYBE your network isn't set up when that line is hit at bootup.
[02:51] <silvaran> dobblego: But that's as far as my knowledge goes... there might be a way to mount networked filesystems during boot--anyone?
[02:51] <dobblego> silvaran, any idea where to look in the logs to find out?
[02:51] <UKMatt> anyone know how to install this then?!?
[02:51] <locomien> HI, I am having trouble with the water effect in xgl/compiz. All other effects work except this one....can anyone help?????????
[02:51] <silvaran> dobblego: dmesg ?
[02:51] <Renan_s2> UKMatt: Just type "make" and see if it works
[02:51] <dobblego> silvaran, I couldn't see anything there
[02:51] <UKMatt> renan_s2, i did
[02:51] <Renan_s2> there are some applicatios that don't need ./configure
[02:51] <silvaran> dobblego: After bootup try just simply "mount /data/music" so that mount is forced to look at fstab.
[02:51] <Renan_s2> what happened then, UKMatt?
[02:51] <goat> Hey, does anyone know how to change themes on compiz?
[02:51] <goat> im using the thing that came with ti
[02:52] <UKMatt> make:  Nothing to be done for 'all'
[02:52] <goat> the themer
[02:52] <dobblego> silvaran, do you mean, doing that will force whatever is in /etc/fstab to have an effect?
[02:52] <UKMatt> make:  Nothing to be done for 'all', renan_s2
[02:52] <silvaran> dobblego: Yeah... if mount is given a path, it needs to look at /etc/fstab for extra information.
[02:52] <dobblego> sudo mount "/data/music" -- works
[02:53] <dobblego> the "host" is in /etc/hosts -- I wonder if that is a problem - it won't resolve without it
[02:54] <Can0Beans> anyone know anything about accessing the ESM on Dell Poweredge servers in Ubuntu?
[02:54] <silvaran> dobblego: OK, then it's two likely possibilities: 1) During boot, trying to mount it before the network is ready; 2) During boot, trying to mount it before samba name lookup is ready.  Can you try specifying the IP address in /etc/fstab instead of the name? (DNS doesn't count :(...
[02:54] <dobblego> I'm going to reboot with the IP address

[02:57] <Renan_s2> iCod: Wine doesn't access hardware directly.
[02:57] <ardchoille> iCod: gtkpod?
[02:57] <Renan_s2> So I think the answer is a no.

[02:58] <UKMatt> aaaaah
[02:58] <goat> there just is no like apply
[02:59] <ese5> anyone have any ideas why my sound is barely audible with all the levels at 100%?
[02:59] <zz_> hi
[02:59] <Renan_s2> ese5: open a terminal and run alsamixer
[02:59] <Davey-> ese5, not saying your a newb or anything so dont take this personally but have you checked ALL the mixer settings
[02:59] <Davey-> or that
[03:00] <keegan_> Hi everyone!  I was wondering if anyone knew how to get sound on flash with Firefox on Wine.  I've installed Flash and Shockwave and I can't sound from any flash.
[03:00] <UKMatt> after i 'autoconf' a file what do i do?
[03:00] <Renan_s2> then increase the volume controls (control it with arrow keys, left/right=sel. control, up/down=vol. adj.)
[03:00] <ese5> davey-:  yeah I looked in alsamixer
[03:00] <ese5> davery-:  everything's up
[03:00] <Davey-> hm
[03:01] <Renan_s2> Is there any Linux program to *WIPE* hard drives (not only erase data, but overwrite the data with other random data so it can't be recovered)?
[03:01] <BHSPitMonkey> keegan_, try running winecfg and look at the audio tab
[03:01] <ese5> renan: you can use dd
[03:01] <ese5> renan: to do a zero fill
[03:01] <Davey-> lmao Renan_s2 you tryin to hide stuff from the feds or what? ;)
[03:01] <BHSPitMonkey> Renan_s2, dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hd(b)
[03:01] <ese5> well if he wants to sell his hd
[03:01] <Davey-> oh
[03:01] <Agrajag> Renan_s2: shred I think
[03:01] <ese5> yeah there you go
[03:01] <Davey-> you can do a encryption format
[03:01] <Davey-> I dont remember how :/
[03:01] <Davey-> lol
[03:02] <Renan_s2> Davey-: I need to erase private stuff from the HD.
[03:02] <Renan_s2> BHSPitMonkey: Thanks!
[03:02] <Agrajag> if you want random data, don't use /dev/zero, use /dev/urandom
[03:02] <Healot> gnupg tools
[03:02] <ese5> pitmonkey has it
[03:02] <BHSPitMonkey> no prob
[03:02] <Renan_s2> I will use /dev/urandom.
[03:02] <Davey-> but my buddies when they got busted by the feds were encrypting their hd's then formatting then encrypting...
[03:02] <Davey-> lol
[03:02] <unio> how do i make my account the owner of certain folders(rather than root); and un"lock" them?
[03:02] <ese5> renan: it takes awhile though -- so don't lose patience
[03:02] <BHSPitMonkey> /dev/zero writes zeros to every bit
[03:02] <ese5> renan: like hours
[03:02] <unio> i just installed apache, and cant do anything because my account isn't the owner >_<
[03:02] <Agrajag> unio: do anything to what?
[03:02] <Renan_s2> thanks for all the answers.
[03:03] <BHSPitMonkey> Renan_s2, the urandom method might take longer.
[03:03] <unio> Agrajag: like edit files, remove folders, etc.
[03:03] <BHSPitMonkey> since it has to come up with random things to write. I dunno.
[03:03] <Agrajag> don't change the owner of a folder just because you want access to it, there's a reason most folder are owned by who they are
[03:03] <dobblego> silvaran, fwiw, I found similar problems on google, but no solutions
[03:03] <Agrajag> unio: which folders? which files?
[03:03] <unio> /var/www, /apache2, etc.
[03:03] <eyequeue> !rootsudo > unio
[03:03] <Agrajag> unio: just edit them as root, using sudo
[03:03] <Agrajag> /var/www is usually owned by www-data, and it needs to stay that way
[03:03] <ese5> virtually nobody could recover data after a zero-fill... unless it actually *is* the feds you have in mind
[03:04] <ese5> you'd need to use some kind of advanced forensic techniques
[03:04] <unio> but i need to edit the files that are displayed on the web
[03:04] <Renan_s2> ese5: no, not the feds; just for security
[03:04] <Agrajag> unio: thne use sudo.
[03:04] <Healot> DoD compliant erase?
[03:04] <ese5> renan: then that dd thing pitmonkey gave you will work fine
[03:04] <Agrajag> sudo gedit /whatever/file/you/want
[03:04] <zz_> ;) sudo -s
[03:04] <unio> i'm in terminal as root, but it still won't let me do anything >_<
[03:04] <Renan_s2> :)
[03:04] <Renan_s2> thanks
[03:04] <Agrajag> unio: then you're not root.
[03:04] <unio> i am
[03:04] <erick_for_ever> i love windows live
[03:05] <Agrajag> unio: what does the command "whoami" return?
[03:05] <unio> "root"
[03:05] <zxc> I want to run a .exe as root...how would I do it?
[03:05] <unio> root@Skyscraper:/var/www# whoami
[03:05] <unio> root
[03:05] <Healot> .exe :)
[03:05] <Renan_s2> zxc: sudo wine filename.exe
[03:05] <Renan_s2> but you don't normally need to run Wine as root.
[03:05] <zxc> ahh...I forgot the wine...thanks Renan_s2
[03:05] <Healot> zxc: : you cannot run windows binary in Linux directly
[03:06] <hikenboot_> greetings! I am using ubuntu and would like to take the output of a text file I generated  with a list of packages which I want to remove and pipe it to apt-get remove  ..how would i do this?
[03:06] <unio> Agrajag: root@Skyscraper:/var/www# rm apache2-default
[03:06] <unio> rm: cannot remove `apache2-default': Is a directory
[03:06] <unio> and i can't write
[03:06] <Renan_s2> unio: rm -rf apache2-default
[03:06] <Agrajag> unio: uh, that's not because you're not root, that's because it;s not a directory.
[03:07] <Agrajag> can't write to what?
[03:07] <iCod> is there a windows vmware image?
[03:07] <unio> ah, that worked -- but still, as root, i can't write to any files, save any files, etc. >_<
[03:07] <BHSPitMonkey> whahaha
[03:07] <BHSPitMonkey> iCod, that'd be illegal.
[03:07] <Renan_s2> iCod: I don't think so
[03:07] <iCod> I know...
[03:07] <ese5> >_<
[03:07] <BHSPitMonkey> ...
[03:07] <iCod> but still
[03:07] <Agrajag> unio: can't write to what files, and how are you trying to edit them?
[03:07] <unio> with vim
[03:07] <Renan_s2> get a Windows CD and create a VMware image.
[03:07] <BHSPitMonkey> but nothing, piracy isn't permitted in this channel.
[03:07] <ese5> ~><~
[03:07] <iCod> can vmware access external hardware/usb?
[03:08] <Renan_s2> iCod: yes, it can
[03:08] <Agrajag> what command do you use, and what is the error you get?
[03:08] <Healot> yes
[03:08] <iCod> renan_s2 cool
[03:08] <iCod> can reactOS run itunes etc.
[03:08] <zxc> Hmm...where does Wine treat as C:/Program Files
[03:08] <JoseStefan> hikenboot_, what's the format of the text file?
[03:08] <unio> (i'll be back in a minute, going to eat a quick sandwhich)
[03:08] <iCod> zxc its .wine in your home folder, make sure hidden files are visible
[03:09] <hikenboot_> JoseStefan: its just a list of package names nothing else at this point
[03:09] <bytewalker> is there a program i chat/spy on my friend with if he logs onto a shell acct i gave him on my box?
[03:09] <hikenboot_> one on each line
[03:09] <JoseStefan> hikenboot_, i think you need it as space separated
[03:09] <JoseStefan> hikenboot_, then try: sudo apt-get remove `cat filename`
[03:09] <Borat> Does anyone know how CGWD themer works?, i cant even change my theme..
[03:10] <hikenboot_> how would i remove a carage return and replace it with a space?
[03:10] <BHSPitMonkey> Borat, try #ubuntu-xgl .
[03:10] <Borat> thanks
[03:10] <Agrajag> hikenboot_: something like sed s/\n/\ / maybe?
[03:11] <hikenboot_> ah ok I have actually never used sed before I will man page it
[03:11] <JoseStefan> hikenboot_, do you know vim ?
[03:11] <Agrajag> hikenboot_: you'd have to pass it the text you want to change, as in cat originalfile | sed s/\n/\ /g > newfile
[03:12] <hikenboot_> sorry I dont do much editing that way used to right basic programs for editing text files though
[03:12] <hikenboot_> ah thanks Agrajag
[03:12] <Geoffrey2> anyone know what a laptop would be discharging a battery much faster under Ubuntu than Windows?
[03:12] <Agrajag> hikenboot_: bear in mind I didn't try that just now or anything
[03:12] <hikenboot_> no problem its an excellent start
[03:13] <JoseStefan> hikenboot_, same here ;)
[03:15] <hikenboot_> thanks guys I will work with that it doesnt seem to do anything but i think its just tweeking involved
[03:15] <bytewalker> how come i cant see my friend loggd onto my box with 'who' ?
[03:15] <bytewalker> hmm
[03:15] <JoseStefan> hikenboot_, try: man sed
[03:16] <zxc> Nooo...Soldat doesn't work
[03:16] <hikenboot_> JoseStefan: doing that as we speak!
[03:16] <Healot> who -a
[03:16] <green__saotome> has anyone find a tutorial that actually works for installing and running xgl?
[03:17] <JoseStefan> green__saotome, try #ubuntu-xgl
[03:17] <jpowermacg5> how do u run a process from shell without it keeping the shell.. i forgot what u supposed to add
[03:17] <JoseStefan> !tell green__saotome about xgl
[03:17] <zxc> Does a game have to be on a disk to be installed by Cedega...can't it just be a .exe?
[03:17] <unperson> jpowermacg5, You mean run it in the background, so you can do other things while it runs?
[03:17] <green__saotome> there is a separate channel?! wow
[03:18] <jpowermacg5> yeah unperson.. well.. run it in the background in terminal.
[03:18] <ravenous> jpowermacg5: add & to the end
[03:18] <unperson> If so, add an ampersand at the end.  e.g. gedit &
[03:18] <JoseStefan> jpowermacg5, or try using screen (man screen)
[03:18] <jpowermacg5> k thanks... i totally forgot that one
[03:19] <ardchoille> When I add a "&" to the end of a command, then close the terminal, the command I launched closes too.
[03:19] <jpowermacg5> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ bluefish &
[03:19] <jpowermacg5> [1]  19871
[03:19] <unperson> jpowermacg5, Also, if you forget to do that when you invoke the command, you can do ctrl+z to suspend, and then bg %n to run job number n in the background.
[03:19] <jpowermacg5> yeah works good
[03:19] <JoseStefan> ardchoille, one of the reasons screen is better
[03:19] <jfletcher> heya there, I'm wondering how to isntall the java JRE using apt-get ?
[03:19] <Renan_s2> !java
[03:19] <ubotu> java is an object oriented programming language. To install a java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the Multiverse repository
[03:20] <unperson> ardchoille, That's because whatever you run is a "child process" of the terminal.  When the "parent process" terminates, it terminates all its children.
[03:20] <JoseStefan> i love ubotu
[03:20] <Madpilot> greetings, Ubuntubers
[03:20] <jfletcher> jfletcher@ja:~$ sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre
[03:20] <jfletcher> Password:
[03:20] <jfletcher> Reading package lists... Done
[03:20] <jfletcher> Building dependency tree... Done
[03:20] <jfletcher> E: Couldn't find package sun-java5-jre
[03:20] <woodwizzle> Is there any working and/or reliable multisession burning software for ubuntu?
[03:20] <jfletcher> jfletcher@ja:~$
[03:20] <jpowermacg5> screen works too.. though the terminal isn't usable
[03:20] <woodwizzle> even k3b is crapping out on me
[03:20] <ardchoille> unperson: So, how do I run gedit from a term and close the term without closing gedit
[03:20] <Renan_s2> !repositories
[03:20] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[03:21] <JoseStefan> !tell jfletcher about paste
[03:21] <Renan_s2> ardchoille: type "disown" on this term
[03:21] <Aladdin-> hi guys. OK here's my problem. I installed a new motherboard with integrated LAN.  Everything went very well except for the network configs. ethernet card is detected but I can't get a connection to my router. Ethernet card has ident eth1 (was eth0 before). Tried ifup eth1. Won't work: I can't get a lease from the dhcp server on the router. Any clue?
[03:21] <unperson> ardchoille, As was mentioned you can either use screen to avoid this or I think there's an applet that will allow you to run commands.
[03:21] <jfletcher> JoseStefan: for 4 lines?
[03:21] <Madpilot> jfletcher, yes, for four lines
[03:21] <jipi> hey
[03:21] <JoseStefan> jfletcher, five :P
[03:21] <ardchoille> unperson: ok, thanks
[03:21] <jipi> i just got a buslink Desktop HD monitor
[03:21] <jipi> its tv+vga+svga in one
[03:22] <JoseStefan> jfletcher, actually six
[03:22] <jipi> and when i set the res to 1024x768 the screen gets, shaky
[03:22] <Madpilot> jfletcher, this channel is large & busy, anything over two or three lines needs pastebinning
[03:22] <jpowermacg5> cool disown and the & will work perfect
[03:22] <unperson> I don't have any sound on my system running dapper/LTS.  It had sound before under breezy.  Any clues what's going on?
[03:22] <jipi> !pastebin
[03:22] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[03:22] <jpowermacg5> though i'd probably leave the terminal open longer then the program
[03:22] <ardchoille> jpowermacg5: yeah, that's a good point
[03:23] <zz_> please can you help me with mpg4 i can see a video with this format
[03:23] <jpowermacg5> so i can just run rfb &.. then disown.. since no gui for launching that
[03:23] <JoseStefan> ardchoille, if you want to just a launch a gui app, why not try Alt+F2, otherwise try using screen
[03:23] <bytewalker> is there a program i can chat shell user to shell user with?
[03:23] <Timmy|GDS> yo
[03:23] <Timmy|GDS> anyone here wanna help a dualbooter?
[03:23] <ardchoille> JoseStefan: Have been using screen + irssi + mutt + elinks + bash for quite a while ;)
[03:23] <AngryElf> !ask
[03:23] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:23] <Timmy|GDS> aight
[03:24] <JoseStefan> ardchoille, ok :P
[03:24] <jpowermacg5> does latest rfb run off the same engine as the tightvncserver? cause last time i checked.. rfb was slow compared to it... but tightvnc can't run off display 0 can it?
[03:25] <Timmy|GDS> i installed windows first (family needs it) then resized to take half of harddrive during ubuntu install, when ubuntu installed, windows wasent on the grub menu. whats the bootstrap for windows if its at the beginning cylinder
[03:25] <Timmy|GDS> ?

[03:27] <BHSPitMonkey> :P
[03:27] <bytewalker> how do i enable messages via finger?
[03:27] <BHSPitMonkey> this channel is -never- dramatically empty
[03:27] <AngryElf> under normal circumstances i would've pastebinnn'd
[03:27] <Timmy|GDS> so i guess i edit the grub.conf file?
[03:27] <jpowermacg5> does latest rfb run off the same engine as the tightvncserver? cause last time i checked.. rfb was slow compared to it... but tightvnc can't run off display 0 can it?
[03:28] <Timmy|GDS> and add those lines?
[03:28] <Aladdin-> hi guys. OK here's my problem. I installed a new motherboard with integrated LAN.

Won't work: I can't get a lease from the dhcp server on the router. Any clue?
[03:28] <AngryElf> Timmy|GDS, /boot/grub/menu.list  check to see if there's an XP entry there -- that's taken from my current ubuntu/XP dual boot
[03:28] <Timmy|GDS> thanks, what line should i add it at?
[03:28] <AngryElf> Timmy|GDS, i didn't resize though, i just installed ubuntu on top, i'd imagine it's the same though
[03:28] <AngryElf> Timmy|GDS, along with the rest of the entries, it's pretty clear, tha majority of that file is comments
[03:29] <unperson> What's the easiest way to check if ALSA is muted?
[03:29] <AngryElf> unperson, alsamixer
[03:29] <jpowermacg5> anyone know if tightvncserver can work on display 0?
[03:29] <Timmy|GDS> AngryElf: Thanks you very much
[03:29] <unperson> AngryElf, And if it is muted, the master volume should be set to zero, yes?
[03:29] <AngryElf> somethin like that
[03:30] <AngryElf> you could yank our your sound card too, that's mute alsa :)
[03:31] <elektro> halza!
[03:34] <jamminpotato> wow not is taqlking .....
[03:34] <jamminpotato> *no one is
[03:34] <miked> hello
[03:34] <jamminpotato> -yes
[03:34] <miked> why would i receive a bash: ZDE: Permission denied msg when i run this in the termal?
[03:35] <miked> sudo cat ZDE.bak | sed "s/export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/#xport LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/" > ZDE
[03:35] <jamminpotato> does it need to be sudo'd?
[03:35] <jamminpotato> oh it already is
[03:35] <Renan_s2> miked, you want sudo sh -c "cat ZDE.bak | sed "s/export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/#xport LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/" > ZDE" .
[03:35] <miked> with the period at the end?
[03:35] <Renan_s2> you need to pass the entire "pipeline" to sudo, not only the 'cat'.
[03:35] <Renan_s2> miked: no, without the period
[03:36] <chopchop_> hi, ive just uninstall 'accidentally' php4 and all php stuff. after that i reinstall those packages but firefox keep asking me to download .php files instead of open it like html. by the way, im using ubuntu 6.06.1
[03:36] <JoseStefan> miked, are you piping to a directory in which you have write permissions?
[03:36] <BHSPitMonkey> chopchop_, try re-installing firefox?
[03:37] <chopchop_> BHSPitMonkey: like apt-get re-install firefox?
[03:37] <JoseStefan> BHSPitMonkey, chopchop_: that wouldn't be correct
[03:37] <green__saotome> apt-get remove firefox; apt-get-y  install firefox
[03:38] <JoseStefan> BHSPitMonkey, chopchop_: firefox shouldn't be the problem. It's the server which is not parsing PHP files.
[03:38] <f1assistance> can someone help me or direct me where I can get help adding an HP Deskjet 832c connected to a print server (Netgear PS110)?
[03:38] <chopchop_> i tried ubuntu forums it open the index.php correctly
[03:38] <miked> Renan_s2: sed: -e expression #1, char 8: unterminated `s' command
[03:38] <miked> JoseStefan: shouldn't sudo allow me to write to any directory?
[03:39] <Dr_Willis> f1assistance,  hmm
[03:39] <JoseStefan> miked, AFAIK sudo and pipes dont go along very well
[03:39] <Dr_Willis> f1assistance,  my printserver works as a jetdirect device. i just enter the ip# and 9110 (i think) and it takes off.
[03:39] <drick> hello guys
[03:39] <chopchop_> JoseStefan: any idea on my problem?
[03:39] <JoseStefan> miked, easy work-around is to pipe to your home dir (~/filename) and then just copy the file over with sudo cp
[03:39] <f1assistance> Dr_Willis: this one isn't so lucky...
[03:40] <drick> i just wanted to know what's a good dock program, and how do I install it? thanks...
[03:40] <Dr_Willis> f1assistance,  bummer. how does it serve then?
[03:40] <miked> ok ill try that
[03:40] <jpowermacg5> why isn't html files being displayed on my apache server... i installed apache with php5.. so only php works.. lol
[03:40] <JoseStefan> miked, there is away to pipe with sudo, but i dont remember right now
[03:40] <Dr_Willis> drick,  thats vague
[03:41] <drick> Dr_Willis, a dock thats like the on in OSX?
[03:41] <f1assistance> Dr_Willis: well, it serves just fine on my MS machines...
[03:41] <JoseStefan> chopchop_, you'll have to check your apache configuration
[03:42] <f1assistance> Dr_Willis: I don't have the option in Linux to assign a IP local port?
[03:42] <f1assistance> Dr_Willis: or do I?
[03:42] <zenit> What would be the correct way to switch between different versions of gcc? Even if I export CC/GCC variables before running make, then still the version of gcc symlinked in /usr/bin/gcc is being used. Any better way of doing this?
[03:42] <JoseStefan> chopchop_, you might want to try a re-install of PHP (or reconfigure), it might add the entries
[03:42] <chopchop_> JoseStefan: i tried it
[03:43] <JoseStefan> chopchop_, did you try dpkg-reconfigure?
[03:43] <chopchop_> JoseStefan: yeah, that's what i did
[03:43] <mus0> saluton
[03:43] <mus0> hibernated my laptop and seemed to have lost sound.
[03:43] <mus0> is there a way to restart it?
[03:43] <JoseStefan> chopchop_, did you try a complete removal, re-install ?
[03:44] <chopchop_> JoseStefan: like apt-get remove --purge php4; apt-get install php4 ???
[03:44] <f1assistance> Dr_Willis: I can see my shared resources on my Windows machines in Network Servers...
[03:44] <mus0> looked through /etc/init.d/ but didn't find anything promising.
[03:44] <JoseStefan> chopchop_, yeah, something like that
[03:45] <Dr_Willis> drick,  now you are  making sence. : ) thers several OS-X type dock clones.. and i hate them all.. :P so check out the gdesklets, and perhaps freshmeat.net and gnome-look.org
[03:45] <Aladdin-> hi guys. OK here's my problem. I installed a new motherboard with integrated LAN.  Everything went very well except for the network configs. ethernet card is detected but I can't get a connection to my router. Ethernet card has ident eth1 (was eth0 before). Tried ifup eth1. Won't work: I can't get a lease from the dhcp server on the router. Any clue?
[03:45] <chopchop_> JoseStefan: JoseStefan still doesnt work
[03:45] <Dr_Willis> f1assistance,  hmm.. My printserver shares up the printers as a samba printer, and a netdirect, and ipp: and somthing else. :P
[03:46] <chopchop_> JoseStefan: sorry, typo
[03:46] <JoseStefan> chopchop_, you'll have to configure it manually, hold on a sec
[03:46] <zxc> I have XGL but I was wondering where I could find instructions on how to use it?
[03:46] <Dr_Willis> f1assistance,  it was a $40 dlink one.. and i was amazed at how easy it was to setup
[03:46] <drick> Dr_Willis : thanks man... =)
[03:46] <Aladdin-> ps: been here a while . really need help on this issue...
[03:46] <mus0> put another way
[03:46] <mus0> how do I start sound from the command line
[03:46] <mus0> ?
[03:47] <miked> JoseStefan: thanks your solution worked
[03:47] <BHSPitMonkey> I'm experiencing a problem where, when a command is run with "sudo", it essentially "hangs"; the next line is a blank line, and pressing ENTER just makes another blank line.
[03:47] <JoseStefan> miked, ok np
[03:47] <BHSPitMonkey> zxc, /join #ubuntu-xgl
[03:47] <f1assistance> Dr_Willis: do you have the connection configured as a local  or network printer?
[03:48] <jamminpotato> anyone else here use BitchX for irc?
[03:48] <mus0> jamminpotato, nah. xchat!
[03:48] <Dr_Willis> f1assistance,  network printer. and i recall gnome could evne scan the net for the right ip
[03:48] <Healot> i've stopped bitching
[03:48] <jamminpotato> muso, i like xchat, but the simplicity of BitchX can't be beat
[03:49] <BHSPitMonkey> ha
[03:49] <f1assistance> Dr_Willis: well, that is exactly how I have mine configured and I am unable to print to it?
[03:49] <BHSPitMonkey> bitchx more simple than xchat? that's arguable
[03:49] <jamminpotato> BHSPitMonkey well, im still jut trying bitchX but it seems pretty straightforward
[03:50] <f1assistance> Dr_Willis: maybe my printer is not supported, but it had a driver for it?
[03:50] <jipi> hey
[03:50] <ezenu> Sometimes I get messages like: "open /dev/[sound/] dsp: Device or resource busy" -- how can I figure out which process is using this device (so that I can kill it).. I tried fuser, but it never produced any output
[03:50] <jipi> im using a tv + vga + svga monitor
[03:50] <jipi> and when i set the res to 1024x768, the screen gets shaky
[03:50] <aaronshaf> How do I do something as root in file manager?
[03:50] <jipi> ezenu: are you talking about audacity?
[03:50] <aaronshaf> er, in file browser
[03:51] <ezenu> jipi, no.. many programs in general -- e.g., mythtv, ut2004
[03:51] <jamminpotato> is there any difference between kubuntu and ubuntu besides kde vs. Gnome
[03:51] <jipi> hmm
[03:51] <jipi> aaronshaf: http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/nautilus-scripts/Execute/Misc/root-nautilus-here
[03:51] <JoseStefan> chopchop_, i'm using php5 so configuration might be different, have you considered trying php5? or is it not possible for your enviroment?
[03:52] <Healot> jamminpotato: that's the only difference
[03:52] <f1assistance> Dr_Willis: I can ping my printer okay also...
[03:52] <jipi> aaronshaf: i think you put it in ~/.nautilus/scripts
[03:52] <jamminpotato> Healot thats what i thought but i didnt know if there might be more too it
[03:52] <JoseStefan> chopchop_, i believe your server conf is missing the AddType entries for PHP, this is usually loaded from a PHP conf found here: /etc/apache2/mods-available
[03:52] <jamminpotato> so if i run a session of ubuntu with kde as my window manger thing ma-bob i'll basicalyl be running kubuntu
[03:52] <ezenu> is there anyplace where I can set what sound drivers to use system-wide? for things like gnome beeps & such. (set alsa vs oss, etc)
[03:53] <chopchop_> JoseStefan: oh, i tried php5, but it turns out that i wont work for the rfree php forums i downloaded
[03:53] <Dr_Willis> f1assistance,  i just tell the system its a network printer.. then i select its driver. is all i did. :)
[03:53] <BHSPitMonkey> I'm experiencing a problem where, when a command is run with "sudo", it essentially "hangs"; the next line is a blank line, and pressing ENTER just makes another blank line.
[03:53] <hush> where can i listen to music or radio online with ubuntu ? when i used WinXP i used Yahoo's Launchcast.com
[03:53] <Dr_Willis> f1assistance,   i guess ya need to figure out how the printer is supposed to show to the network.
[03:53] <JoseStefan> chopchop_, check to see if you can find a php conf file in the path i stated before
[03:53] <chopchop_> JoseStefan: something likes AddType application/x-httpd-php .php ??
[03:54] <JoseStefan> chopchop_, yes, the line is different for php4, i believe
[03:54] <chopchop_> JoseStefan: that is what commented out in apache2.conf
[03:54] <jipi> aaronshaf: if that doesnt work, then just in a terminal type "sudo nautilus"
[03:54] <Trae> anyone know anything about this bug: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/22336
[03:54] <chopchop_> JoseStefan: i tried, and restart apache, but still not. dont know why
[03:55] <JoseStefan> chopchop_, ubuntu uses a module system, so it shouldnt be on apache2.conf but on mods-available/ instead
[03:55] <Trae> I nuked my Ubuntu system, installed Gentoo to see if it had any problems, and I did emerge gnome (about 12 hours of compiling) and it had no affect on things.
[03:55] <chopchop_> JoseStefan: mods-avaiagle? what is that?
[03:55] <Trae> I also installed SLED and was able to run YouTube videos without the lockup that's mentioned in above bug
[03:55] <tainted_> what is the default sysadmin password for ubuntu
[03:56] <JoseStefan> chopchop_, try this path: /etc/apache2/mods-available/
[03:56] <tainted_> i can't do anything with this thing
[03:56] <Trae> So this has to be an Ubuntu specific thing
[03:56] <jamminpotato> i'm about to take back the bitchX being easier than xchat
[03:56] <JoseStefan> chopchop_, what version of apache are you using? 1.3 or 2 ?
[03:56] <sktx> anyone here know any good (free) MMORPGs that work well with *buntu?
[03:57] <tainted_> nethack
[03:57] <chopchop_> JoseStefan: 2
[03:57] <AbstractIdiot> Hmm
[03:57] <AbstractIdiot> Nevermind
[03:57] <hush> where can i listen to music or radio online with ubuntu ? when i used WinXP i used Yahoo's Launchcast.com
[03:57] <sktx> tainted_: hrmm.. i was hoping for a little more graphical than nethack
[03:57] <tainted_> come on people
[03:57] <cassio> hi, when i remove my usb stick in xp using remove safely the red led on it turns off, when i select eject on ubuntu it keeps lighten until i remove it...is there a better way to remove it ?
[03:57] <JoseStefan> chopchop_, did you try looking in the path ?
[03:57] <tainted_> what is the default password to do stuff in ubutnu
[03:57] <don_jr> I have no sound on my box, it's an integrated sound card, how do I go about making sound work?
[03:57] <sktx> cassio: it does the same for me
[03:57] <richiefrich> tainted_ ?
[03:57] <Anubuntu> heyo, is there any way to set up a hotkey to change between resolutions?
[03:58] <richiefrich> tainted_ u mean from where?
[03:58] <chopchop_> JoseStefan: found it
[03:58] <tainted_> richiefrich like when i want to install a deb
[03:58] <sktx> cassio: but eject /media/usbdisk works just fine
[03:58] <tainted_> the gui wants a sys password
[03:58] <f1assistance> Dr_Willis: hmm...yea this printer is making me really angry, this isn't rocket science...darn-it
[03:58] <cassio> sktx, using that the light turns off ?
[03:58] <tainted_> or when i want to configure a network interface
[03:58] <JoseStefan> chopchop_, there should be php "load" and "conf" files
[03:58] <tainted_> it asks for a password
[03:58] <Noah0504> Does anyone have a application or script that will convert FLAC to Vorbis?
[03:58] <tainted_> i try the root password and nothing works
[03:58] <richiefrich> tainted_ the root password
[03:58] <chopchop_> JoseStefan: ya, there are
[03:59] <richiefrich> tainted_ then u typed it wrong
[03:59] <tainted_> i use the root password and it doesnt work
[03:59] <tainted_> hmm
[03:59] <richiefrich> tainted_  can u login as root
[03:59] <richiefrich> sudo -i
[03:59] <tainted_> yes
[03:59] <richiefrich> sudo -Hs
[03:59] <richiefrich> iirc
[03:59] <JoseStefan> chopchop_, can you check if their content is correct, and not commented out?
[03:59] <richiefrich> then do that become root
[03:59] <tainted_> i'd love to just login to X as root
[04:00] <richiefrich> tainted_ no u wouldnt
[04:00] <don_jr> How can I go about trying to get ubuntu to recognize my integrated sound device?
[04:00] <tainted_> yes i would
[04:00] <richiefrich> tainted_  why
[04:00] <chopchop_> JoseStefan: pm it to you to check ? can i
[04:00] <jamminpotato> what are some other window mangers besides KDE, GNOME, and fluxbox?
[04:00] <tainted_> b/c i hate the extra layer
[04:00] <tainted_> i hate sudo
[04:00] <richiefrich> tainted_  then disable it
[04:00] <Noah0504> jamminpotato: XFCE
[04:00] <richiefrich> tainted_ use another distro=
[04:00] <JoseStefan> chopchop_, this irc server blocks pm if you are unregistere
[04:00] <Trae> heh, sudo++
[04:00] <f1assistance> Dr_Willis: any ideas where I might discover how this printer should "show to the network"?
[04:00] <Dr_Willis> f1assistance,  fire up a samba browser.. see if its a samba shared printer. that would be the most common
[04:00] <richiefrich> tainted_  there are ways
[04:00] <Healot> CDE?
[04:01] <chopchop_> JoseStefan: im registered
[04:01] <tainted_> how
[04:01] <JoseStefan> chopchop_, ok go
[04:01] <jamminpotato> Noah0504 what is XFCE like?
[04:01] <tainted_> nm
[04:01] <justin_> Does anyone in here code in C/C++?
[04:01] <richiefrich> tainted_ google my man.. or install another distro
[04:01] <tainted_> Security Tab -> Security -> Allow root to login with GDM (Checked)
[04:01] <Dr_Willis> f1assistance,  tryed going  http://serversip.address and seeing if it has some configs/docs.
[04:01] <justin_> jamminpotato: XFCE is awesome, I am on it right now - my preferred desktop
[04:01] <richiefrich> tainted_ now your being stupid
[04:01] <Healot> justin_: : #C or #C++
[04:01] <justin_> Not too minimal to be useless, but not so bloated to be slow
[04:01] <tainted_> why
[04:01] <f1assistance> Dr_Willis: k, now your speaking new words to me...samba browser?
[04:01] <Trae> tainted_ root and X don't mix.
[04:01] <Noah0504> jamminpotato: Look at screenshots of Xubuntu.  It runs XFCE.  It's pretty light, but still has style.
[04:01] <JoseStefan> chopchop_, looks good, now the load file
[04:02] <richiefrich> tainted_ you dont  run X as root
[04:02] <justin_> Healot: Either one, I would like to look at some homemade programs if anyone has any links to their own
[04:02] <Dr_Willis> f1assistance,  the tools you use to get to the windows shared folders and so on.. thats most likely How the printer is being shared also.
[04:02] <sktx> i ran xubuntu for a few months, i found it to be sufficiently badass
[04:02] <jamminpotato> so a little more to it then flux box but not as much goin on as in kde or what not?
[04:02] <tainted_> why not
[04:02] <Geoffrey2> I'm having a frequent typing problem where my cursor shoots back into the middle of the sentence I'm typing...if I'm typing in a text box on a web page, it'll send me shooting way up or down the page....any ideas what I can do to correct this?
[04:02] <tainted_> why don't you run x as root
[04:02] <trappist> I'm trying to install ubuntu in vmware, and the graphical install is way too slow to deal with.  how do I launch ye olde installer from the cdrom?
[04:02] <justin_> jamminpotato: Flux is really minimal :P
[04:02] <richiefrich> tainted_  you want to trash your system
[04:02] <Healot> justin_: join either one of those channels
[04:02] <jah_raztah> i've just upgraded to a new version of xorg and i was wondering before i restart are there any commands i can use or anything i can check to make sure that afteri reboot xorg won't crash and fail on me
[04:02] <Trae> tainted_ it's a major security risk
[04:02] <justin_> Healot: Ahh ;D
[04:02] <dibblego> how do you find out what particular hardware drivers you are using e.g. for a wireless NIC?
[04:02] <richiefrich> tainted_   then have fun
[04:02] <JoseStefan> chopchop_, only thing left to check is if apache.conf is loading that directory
[04:02] <mikey3521> Hey can anyone offer some support with UbuntuServerInstall/DellPowerEdge/PercRaid??
[04:03] <jamminpotato> justin_ flux...minimal....nooooo..... i'm jsut about to set it up and try it for a while acutally.....but minimal....surely not the flux i know
[04:03] <richiefrich> tainted_ windows that way -->
[04:03] <tainted_> how does it trash my system
[04:03] <heavy> trying to isntall linux headers using:  apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` but get the message: Couldn't find package linux-headers-2.6.10-6-386, are there no linux headers for that kernel?
[04:03] <mr3vil> Geoffrey2: using a laptop?
[04:03] <justin_> jah_raztah: You do not need to reboot after you update Linux ;P - simply reload your Xserver
[04:03] <chopchop_> JoseStefan: i dont understand
[04:03] <Geoffrey2> mr3vil, yes, Dell Inspiron 6000
[04:03] <jah_raztah> but what if it crashes or fails on me
[04:03] <justin_> jamminpotato: Compared to KDE/Gnome Flux is very minimal
[04:03] <tainted_> richiefrich you're not helpful
[04:03] <JoseStefan> chopchop_, wait, i just made a bubu, check the mods-enabled folder now, do a ls
[04:03] <chopchop_> JoseStefan: but i find out there is no /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp4.so
[04:03] <f1assistance> Dr_Willis: actually, on the Windows side, the printer is not shared, it resides on the network through the print server and is connected through a local port (IP).
[04:03] <jah_raztah> are there any commands i can run prior to that to assure everything will go fine
[04:04] <richiefrich> tainted_ no i am
[04:04] <mr3vil> Geoffrey2: well, might not be the same with you, but i sometimes touch the touchpad ... so it goes wherever the mouse is - know what i mean?
[04:04] <Chavira> tainted you do not have restrictions for anything
[04:04] <justin_> XFCE is my preferred desktop personally low mem usage - but functional
[04:04] <richiefrich> tainted_ your being dumb
[04:04] <mr3vil> Geoffrey2: maybe it's different in your case
[04:04] <don_jr> Anyone have a solution to getting ubuntu to recognize my integrated sound device?
[04:04] <tainted_> richiefrich how so
[04:04] <band-aid> How can i fix my resolution? Its stuck at 640x480. I have installed ATI proprietary drivers. I have tried changing things around in Xorg.conf.
[04:04] <richiefrich> tainted_  security ricks.. trashing your system
[04:04] <Geoffrey2> mr3vil, that's what I thought at first....that doesn
[04:04] <jamminpotato> justin_  i was being sarcastic....sorry
[04:04] <tainted_> richiefrich ubuntu is on my testing box in a vm environment
[04:04] <Dr_Willis> f1assistance,  either you are way confused.. or that thing is really weird..  My print server has an ip.. I can go to that ip with the samba or web server. and see the printer and other settings with it.
[04:04] <Olek> is there any reason my xserver-xorg-core should still be broken now i've upgraded it to 10.4
[04:04] <mikey3521> Anyone know  the other Ubuntu chan on iirc?
[04:04] <Rookie-> why does ppl continue to say ubuntu all the time when it is linux ?
[04:05] <Geoffrey2> mr3vil, that doesn't seem to be happening...but I suppose it's a possibility
[04:05] <richiefrich> tainted_ and so you want to learn the wrong way
[04:05] <mr3vil> Geoffrey2: oh, ok, sry. don't know anything else - but i hated it ;)
[04:05] <Dr_Willis> f1assistance,  the printserver IS shareing the printer.
[04:05] <justin_> jamminpotato: Ahh ok, it's hard to find sarcasm in text hehe
[04:05] <Dr_Willis> f1assistance,  otherwise you cant get to it. :P
[04:05] <richiefrich> Rookie- k linux is just the kernel
[04:05] <band-aid> How can i fix my resolution? Its stuck at 640x480. I have installed ATI proprietary drivers. I have tried changing things around in Xorg.conf.
[04:05] <jamminpotato> justin_ yea my bad
[04:05] <JoseStefan> chopchop_, looks like php4 is not installed at all
[04:05] <Rookie-> dosent matter if it is ubuntu or slackware or suse, all the same
[04:05] <chopchop_> JoseStefan: found the libphp4 and put there
[04:05] <richiefrich> Rookie- and the proper term would be  ubuntu/GNU-linux
[04:05] <jamminpotato> woah! flux box can not only be used in place of gnome but also as a replacment for metacity????????
[04:05] <JoseStefan> chopchop_, now that you mention the file missing
[04:06] <mikey3521> Anyone know  the other Ubuntu chan on iirc?
[04:06] <jah_raztah> how can i find my video cars bus identifier
[04:06] <JoseStefan> chopchop_, ok, try creating symbolic links on mods-enabled
[04:06] <justin_> But if you have not actually tryed XFCE I would urge you to do so, I am sure you will keep it as your prime desktop.
[04:06] <jah_raztah> what is the command for it
[04:06] <richiefrich> Rookie- no there not
[04:06] <jah_raztah> lspci?
[04:07] <Chavira> hwinfo
[04:07] <chopchop_> JoseStefan: go on
[04:07] <richiefrich> tainted_   reads this please -> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=258150
[04:07] <f1assistance> Dr_Willis: I can log into the print server from my browser, do I need another protocol for Linux?
[04:07] <Rookie-> no ? so you mean you config a slackware on a diff way then ubuntu dist?
[04:07] <don_jr> jah_raztah I believe lspci is correct
[04:07] <JoseStefan> chopchop_, go to the mods-enabled directory,
[04:07] <richiefrich> Rookie- yes
[04:07] <chopchop_> JoseStefan: ok
[04:07] <richiefrich> Rookie- different init's
[04:07] <Rookie-> ok ... your way works too ...
[04:07] <richiefrich> Rookie- different comfigs
[04:08] <don_jr> Can anyone help me configure ubuntu to recognize my integrated sound device?  i have no sound at the moment
[04:08] <richiefrich> Rookie- there are  big differences
[04:08] <Dr_Willis> f1assistance,  that print server is shareing the printer using one of several methods - or perhaps several at the same time. 'samba' (or windows-networkneighbothood) willbe a give, since thats what windows uses.. and perhaps the ipp: method and perhaps one or 2 others.
[04:08] <JoseStefan> chopchop_, try ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/(filename)
[04:08] <justin_> Why is linux so horrible for games..
[04:08] <Dr_Willis> f1assistance,  depending ho how the printer is shared.. is what you tell the gnome printer config tool - when its looking for the network printer
[04:08] <mr3vil> justin_: not everyone uses computers for games ..
[04:08] <Rookie-> ohh ? im used to slackware and i find it easy in ubuntu ... and i dont see any diff ... well - some minor maybe ...
[04:09] <Healot> games are played on computers :)
[04:09] <Healot> video games that is
[04:09] <justin_> mr3vil: I know but I think i'll start something to try to get some games on Linux I mean I do not mind if they do not open the source, simply binary ports for the games would be fine for me.
[04:09] <JoseStefan> chopchop_, you might need sudo with that
[04:09] <jamminpotato> linux isnt bad for games, games  are bad for linux
[04:09] <mr3vil> Healot: that's why people buy a ps2, xbox aso
[04:09] <chopchop_> JoseStefan: (filename) means php4.conf and php4.load ?
[04:09] <Healot> ps2 and xbox are computers
[04:09] <Geoffrey2> would be nice if there was an easy way to disable/enable the touchpad, so I can skip it when I'm on AC and using my external mouse, then re-enable it when I switch back to battery power
[04:09] <Shadowpillar> did hotplug get taken out of dapper?
[04:09] <JoseStefan> chopchop_, yep. Also, add sudo to the beginning of the cmd
[04:10] <jmaxx> hola a todos
[04:10] <justin_> mr3vil: Xbox/PS2 are computers in a fancy box..
[04:10] <jamminpotato> well i'll be back in a few everyone, im going to try kde or fluxbox....don't know which yet, but i'll figure it out in the next 30secs
[04:10] <Dr_Willis> f1assistance,  on my printserver under the network settings.. its showing it is shared using 9 different 'standards' :P your of course may vary
[04:10] <richiefrich> Rookie- yes differences in the package managers.. in the configs in the init's where the files are placed
[04:10] <chopchop_> JoseStefan: yeah i did it :)
[04:10] <jmaxx> saludos desde Chile
[04:10] <justin_> jamminpotato: KDE?
[04:10] <mr3vil> justin_: you were asking about linux and games - not computers and games
[04:10] <jamminpotato> ....oh is it possible to change between kde, flux, and gnome without logging out?
[04:10] <justin_> :)) I hope you have a lot of RAM :P
[04:10] <chopchop_> JoseStefan: thank you very much :))
[04:10] <JoseStefan> chopchop_, restart apache, if all else fails, just delete the symbolic links to stop the loading
[04:11] <Rookie-> Well, i running a slack and a ubuntu right now ... and i dont see any major diffs
[04:11] <justin_> mr3vil: Indeed, well I think they should release ports for Linux - they do not have to release their sources
[04:11] <yojimbo-san> jamminpotato: not easily; try Xnest to give sub-windows that can be differenr window managed sessions
[04:11] <band-aid> how can I switch to Kde
[04:11] <jamminpotato> darn kde installed a crapload of programs and they all start with k
[04:11] <justin_> I think that is the main reason why Linux has so few games, because a lot of people urge the game makers to release their sources..
[04:11] <Dr_Willis> band-aid,  install kubuntu-desktop , then at the gdm login. use the menu item to select kde
[04:11] <jamminpotato> yaerghhh....see you all in a few
[04:11] <nidontknow> hello everyone. I'm having a problem with Easy  Ubuntu.
[04:11] <yojimbo-san> jamminpotato: that's a krapload, actually :-)
[04:11] <JoseStefan> chopchop_, ok, np. Looks like the php4 install script failed for some reason, and did not do all that we just did.
[04:11] <Geoffrey2> actually, Xbox is just a full PC that can't do anything except play Xbox software....bit of a ripoff, IMHO
[04:11] <richiefrich> Rookie- thats small to you.. maybe but you throw users on those two distros and have them configure apps  there will be differences
[04:11] <nidontknow> upon installing some packages, I'm getting an error "Fix broken packages first" any ideas?
[04:12] <mr3vil> justin_: well, true - i wouldn't mind that. but sometimes it's better for me not to play every game out there that i want - sometimes i have to study and that would destract me
[04:12] <jamminpotato> yojimbo-san ---nice
[04:12] <Shadowpillar> did hotplug get taken out of dapper?
[04:12] <mr3vil> justin_: so i am happy with the way it is right now
[04:12] <Rookie-> Well, i dont use any GUI ...
[04:12] <justin_> mr3vil: I am not saying you have to play :P - I play very few games, but I think a few ports of mainstream games would be a good thing - let them keep their source code hidden who cares if you play on windows you cannot see it anyways
[04:13] <Dr_Willis> assuming they can even get the games working...
[04:13] <richiefrich> Rookie-  then why ubuntu
[04:13] <justin_> The only time I want to see the source, is with network,OS and office apps - I want to know how the program works, and where my information is truly going :)
[04:13] <richiefrich> Rookie- it's gui heaven
[04:13] <Rookie-> to test it
[04:13] <mr3vil> justin_: right, but wouldn't that conflict with the idea of linux itself !? not that i would mind!?
[04:13] <Dr_Willis> best games out now for linux  are the Q3 spinoffs :P
[04:13] <Rookie-> testing the server version
[04:13] <band-aid> I would just like to announce that this OS owns XP
[04:13] <f1assistance> Dr_Willis: when you say "9 different standards" do you mean protocols?
[04:14] <Rookie-> OS is linux, distname is ubuntu
[04:14] <justin_> mr3vil: Naw it's all about choice right? - Some people will choose to support and buy, and some will choose not to have any closed source apps on their PC's - choice is beautiful.
[04:14] <richiefrich> Rookie-  so why not a real distro for a server :P
[04:14] <Dr_Willis> f1assistance,  yep.  i just counted them and thought ... Dang.. :P what is that.. it can evdn do 'email printing. and ftp printing' :)
[04:14] <Rookie-> i use slackware for server ... but since i heard of ubuntu i wanted to test and try it ...
[04:14] <Dr_Willis> f1assistance,  i use the  Port (9100) Printing  standard mainly it seems from the logs
[04:15] <richiefrich> user00265 help me out in here........
[04:15] <RainbowsOwner> Hello
[04:15] <csabo2> Hey guys im having alot of trouble with the 6.06 installer
[04:15] <mr3vil> justin_: good point. i think it would help linux to get spreaded out, cause i'm sure some people would consider linux if it was easy to play games on it, too
[04:15] <csabo2> Every time it tries to format, it freezes the whole pc @ 15%, its a normal IDE drive
[04:15] <richiefrich> Rookie- so u use slapt-get on ubuntu ?
[04:15] <justin_> mr3vil: Exactly.
[04:15] <user00265> richiefrich: what?
[04:15] <Dr_Willis> f1assistance,  i select remote printer, hp jetdirect, enter the ip and port 9100 , select the driver and away it goes.
[04:15] <jamminpotato> back
[04:15] <jamminpotato> in kde
[04:15] <csabo2> anyone have any ideas?
[04:15] <Rookie-> testing that too, yes
[04:15] <csabo2> P4 northwood HT enabled
[04:16] <csabo2> and yeah i cant get this thing to install off the cd
[04:16] <don_jr> how do I open a gz file?
[04:16] <richiefrich> brujah hello
[04:16] <csabo2> is there a way i can run an installer rather than using the liveCD with the installer?
[04:16] <whitehorseNtiger> csabo2 are you formating the whole drive or only part of it.
[04:16] <csabo2> whitehorseNtiger: whole drive
[04:16] <csabo2> and theres nothing wrong with the hard drive
[04:16] <justin_> I am thinking about this, and how to get the word out to developers of games - keep your source, share the fun :D
[04:16] <fishy> How do I kill WINE?
[04:16] <msseve1> don_jr: type gunzip filename
[04:16] <don_jr> csabo2 yes, download the alternate CD, it's a text mode install, that's what I had to do to get up and running
[04:16] <don_jr> mssevel thanx
[04:16] <jamminpotato> kde is different.....kinda cluttered =/
[04:16] <justin_> fishy -console, killall wine
[04:16] <csabo2> don_jr:  ugh isnt there an install switch i can use @ the bootup menu?
[04:16] <fishy> justin_: That doesn't do anything
[04:16] <brujah> ello
[04:17] <justin_> fishy or -xkill (and click on wine window)
[04:17] <don_jr> csabo2 not that I could find
[04:17] <csabo2> who the hell wrote a broken liveCD installer is my question
[04:17] <csabo2> if the other installer worked why fuck with it
[04:17] <justin_> oops xkill no "-"
[04:17] <fishy> thank
[04:17] <fishy> s
[04:17] <fishy> that worked
[04:17] <justin_> csabo, Broken? - worked fine for me
[04:17] <richiefrich> brujah i hear now a days that ubuntu and slackware are the same
[04:17] <JoseStefan> brb guys
[04:17] <csabo2> its not my pc that has issues i promive
[04:17] <csabo2> promise
[04:18] <Shadowpillar> What happened to Hotplug support in Dapper/
[04:18] <Shadowpillar> ?*
[04:18] <csabo2> i've installed at least 15 different distros of linux, countless versions, and countless build numbers and versions of windows
[04:18] <Healot> they replaced it with udev instead
[04:18] <richiefrich> Rookie- i'd love for you to tell that to the slackware peeps  :P
[04:18] <jamminpotato> hmmm....what a dilemma i like the control center and a few other things about kde, but there are some things i like about gnome, like its less cluttered by defualt
[04:18] <justin_> csabo, I have heard of some issues with the live installer.. but for most people it works.
[04:18] <Rookie-> hehe, bet you would :)
[04:18] <whitehorseNtiger> I don't know.  I upgraded...had some minor issues but was worried they were more major.  took me over a day to fix the minor issues.  Everything works fine.  csabo2  don_jr
[04:18] <brujah> richiefrich: isnt that like saying that Debian came from Gentoo?
[04:19] <richiefrich> brujah i think so
[04:19] <robin> HI HOW DO I RUN .run files?
[04:19] <Shadowpillar> Healot: joy.
[04:19] <richiefrich> Rookie- ooh then it's not true now is it :P
[04:19] <ozzy1717> n
[04:19] <msseve1> robin: what are the .run files for?
[04:19] <richiefrich> brujah i think thay all came from windows to tell the truth
[04:19] <robin> postal 2 demo
[04:19] <don_jr> whitehorseNtiger yeah I've got ubuntu installed on my PC dual booted with XP and on my laptop and finally got my wireless card working....only problem I have now is I don't have sound on my PC
[04:20] <XFox_Prower> Are there any troubleshooting steps for installation?
[04:20] <Shadowpillar> robin: chmod +x whateverthefileis.run
[04:20] <robin> from where, terminal?
[04:20] <Rookie-> the basic is ... i use vim for to config all files ... some might be in another location ...
[04:20] <Shadowpillar> robin: then ./whateverthefileis.run
[04:20] <Shadowpillar> robin: yeah
[04:21] <robin> what's the adress to my desktop
[04:21] <justin_> robin - chmod a+x -file.run, and then - ./file.run
[04:21] <whitehorseNtiger> don_jr :  I dual boot rarely, mostly stick with ubuntu.  I have a small partition for 64bit windows professional.  I have an ibm laptop that the liveCD doesn't work on, but it is my wife's and I don't care if it has windows.  She seems to have some viruses.  OH well.
[04:21] <msseve1> robin: if I understand you correctly, typing ifconfig at your desktop will give you the info
[04:21] <dannylapt> In Ubuntu server, is there a command or program i can use to monitor my system resources (a text based tool)
[04:21] <Dr_Willis> robin,  try 'cd Desktop'
[04:21] <Dr_Willis> :P
[04:22] <Shadowpillar> robin: cd ~/Desktop
[04:22] <Rookie-> dannylapt top
[04:22] <Shadowpillar> ~ is your home directory
[04:22] <whitehorseNtiger> don_jr When I say the liveCD doesn't work, I mean the wifi card.  Everything else works.
[04:22] <jamminpotato> what happens if i run the gnome version of xchat in kde...?
[04:22] <justin_> jamminpotato: Nothing
[04:22] <dannylapt> rookie: top?
[04:22] <Healot> it will run, jamminpotato?
[04:22] <_priest> jamminpotato: it runs?
[04:22] <_priest> lol
[04:22] <Dr_Willis> jamminpotato,  it runs ... just fine... amazing eh?
[04:22] <justin_> jamminpotato: It will simply have the gnome window borders
[04:23] <XFox_Prower> Any known issues on 32-bit AMD systems?
[04:23] <Rookie-> yea, systemresources you said ... use the command top
[04:23] <jamminpotato> well the nwaht is the point of haveing a gnome version if it works with everyhitng
[04:23] <jamminpotato> darn linux and everything working
[04:23] <justin_> _priest: Sure it does, window managers are simply an enviroment
[04:23] <dannylapt> Rookie: ok thanks.
[04:23] <_priest> justin_: uhm yes?
[04:23] <robin> the file is named Postal 2 Demo.run
[04:23] <robin> and my username is robin
[04:24] <jamminpotato> quick poll of everyone here...kde gnome, flux or XFCE?
[04:24] <Rookie-> kde
[04:24] <justin_> _priest: Yeah, programs will run in any window manager - except for a few like maybe Kcontrol center which probably will work in other enviroments .. but would not make sense to do so
[04:24] <_priest> jamminpotato: fvwm-crystal
[04:24] <msseve1> robin escape the spaces with \
[04:24] <justin_> jamminpotato: XFCE.
[04:24] <Dr_Willis> jamminpotato,  'matchbox' :P
[04:24] <_priest> fvwm is the h3at
[04:24] <msseve1> jamminpotato: gnome
[04:24] <Healot> Windows! :)
[04:24] <richiefrich> jamminpotato  e16/e17
[04:24] <Dr_Willis> jamminpotato,  running for office? need a poll to decide stuff?
[04:24] <f1assistance> Dr_Willis: I am calling it a night, thanks for all your help...maybe tomorrow
[04:24] <jamminpotato> too many choices!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so little time to try the all
[04:24] <robin> send the whole line again with Postal 2 Demo.run
[04:25] <_priest> robin: type Postal and hit tab
[04:25] <_priest> it will auto complete
[04:25] <justin_> jamminpotato: So install them all, and choose one day a week for each one :))
[04:25] <XFox_Prower> Hi
[04:25] <robin> _priest: nothing happens :D
[04:25] <Dr_Willis> f1assistance,  heh ya are making it way too hard i think
[04:25] <_priest> robin: sh Postal<tab>
[04:25] <_priest> should autocomplete the file
[04:26] <jamminpotato> well at this point im likeing kde more then gnome, seems easier to configure
[04:26] <msseve1> robin: you might need to type another character or two
[04:26] <msseve1> robin: escape spaces with \
[04:26] <thanatos_> how do i make my console look like this: http://fossplanet.osdir.com/slideshows/595_or/2.png
[04:26] <_priest> thanatos_: what do you mean
[04:26] <justin_> thanatos_: Mess around with your appearance colors..
[04:27] <_priest> thanatos_: that font?
[04:27] <thanatos_> in console mode have that resolution
[04:27] <robin> why can't I just start it like in windows lol
[04:27] <_priest> appened vga=<num>
[04:27] <thanatos_> and possibly the colors
[04:27] <_priest> in your boot
[04:27] <_priest> in menu.lst
[04:27] <thanatos_> in boot
[04:27] <msseve1> robin: you can--probably
[04:27] <thanatos_> and in console
[04:28] <R0bin> Atleast I got DVD working today :P
[04:28] <Dr_Willis> given how old that postal game/demo is - ill be suprised if it even works.
[04:28] <msseve1> RObin: set execute permissions from properties
[04:28] <thanatos_> i asked this a while ago but i forget waht it was called
[04:28] <R0bin> lol
[04:28] <R0bin> its from 2003
[04:28] <R0bin> postal 2 demo
[04:28] <Dr_Willis> given how CRUDDY that game is... im suprised you are even bothering. :)
[04:28] <msseve1> RObin: then double-click on it
[04:28] <justin_> Has anyone played "Rubicon-X" ?
[04:28] <_priest> thanatos_: probably thinking framebuffer
[04:28] <R0bin> it rocks :D
[04:28] <thanatos_> ya i think that was it
[04:28] <justin_> It is a pretty nice 1st person shooter, for linux/windows/mac.
[04:29] <R0bin> yeah
[04:29] <thanatos_> there was another program along side it to, i think it was for background images
[04:29] <R0bin> so there is no deafult program for .run ?
[04:29] <justin_> R0bin: Yeah it's too bad that Loki Games closed down shop..
[04:29] <justin_> They were ahead of their time
[04:29] <msseve1> R0bin: if you double click on it and nothing happens, then no
[04:29] <R0bin> I want more working AAA linux games :(
[04:30] <justin_> R0bin: Not from what I know - however, you can always google for something.
[04:30] <justin_> R0bin: Rubiconx
[04:30] <R0bin> ok
[04:30] <mopflite> AAA?
[04:30] <bill__> could anyone tell me how to start the Xfce for Ubuntu?
[04:31] <R0bin> Hey guys it seems to work
[04:31] <R0bin> when clicking on it
[04:31] <R0bin> select run in terminal
[04:31] <R0bin> lol
[04:31] <msseve1> bill__: in your login screen, click sessions and choose Xfcs
[04:31] <justin_> bill__: It should be added to your GDM.
[04:31] <bill__> thanks
[04:31] <justin_> bill__: Cttl-alt-backspace, and select "session" you should see XFCE in your list .
[04:31] <R0bin> then I get uggly a uggly installation DOS-alike :D
[04:32] <justin_> R0bin: :o Never ever compare console to DOS...
[04:32] <justin_> lol
[04:32] <edgyeft1> i've just broekn my xserver after upgrading to a new version on edgy eft, now i am on the live cd... how can use the live cd or boot into ubuntu in text mode so i can downgrade to the older version of xorg, also what is the command for downgrading
[04:32] <justin_> Dos is useless for the most part, you can do everything in console - browser, chat on MSN or AIM bit torrents etc
[04:32] <R0bin> to write permission to usr\local\games
[04:32] <ElephantHunter> Is it possible to install Ubuntu on a laptop with only 32mb of ram? The installer says it requires 64mb.
[04:32] <R0bin> *no
[04:32] <jamminpotato> kde is kinda windozey
[04:32] <XFox_Prower> doesn't work on 256mb even
[04:33] <tryingubuntu> Yo i need help
[04:33] <justin_> jamminpotato: Yes it is, and it will suck your ram like no ones business.
[04:33] <Dr_Willis> ElephantHunter,  use the altertve installer/cd andit should work.. and it will take forever to install. :P
[04:33] <edju> Trying to configure the printer client in CUPS web interface.  It asks for the username and passwd for "CUPS" at localhost:631.  I have no idea what that is.  root or user doesn't work.  Anybody?
[04:33] <trappist> edgyeft1: mount your disk in /mnt, mount --bind /proc and /dev on that filesystem (may not be necessary), and chroot /mnt
[04:33] <XFox_Prower> TEST
[04:33] <Rookie-> ElephantHunter - with X and all that, you need atleast 128 and recommeded is 256
[04:33] <justin_> ElephantHunter: Yes you can, change your WM however to FLUX or ICEWM.
[04:33] <jamminpotato> so on to flux box i go
[04:33] <tryingubuntu> My ubuntu install won't work... and I've tried just about everything
[04:33] <XFox_Prower> same for me
[04:33] <justin_> ElephantHunter: You will be ok if you do not use KDE/GNOME..
[04:33] <XFox_Prower> The installer fails
[04:34] <jamminpotato> anyone know the defualt keyboard short cut to open a terminal in fluxbox?
[04:34] <ElephantHunter> Alrighty thanks :)
[04:34] <ElephantHunter> Is the alternative installer listed on the website?
[04:34] <msseve1> edgyeft1 don't use the live CD for this...use the recovery console
[04:34] <msseve1> edgyeft1: then type sudo apt-get install pagkagename=versionnumber
[04:34] <msseve1> edgyeft1: oops...when you're n the recovery console, you don't need sudo
[04:34] <tryingubuntu> My ubuntu dosn't even get to the Live CD stage
[04:34] <trappist> ElephantHunter: you should be able to do it with the 'alternate' installer, that uses textmode
[04:34] <trygg> How do i start up expocity after i've installed it? :)
[04:34] <Madpilot> XFox_Prower, is this a ShipIt CD or one you burned yourself?
[04:34] <tryingubuntu> My ubuntu dosn't even get to the Live CD stage
[04:34] <XFox_Prower> ah, my messages do go through
[04:34] <jamminpotato> anyone know the defualt keyboard short cut to open a terminal in fluxbox?
[04:34] <XFox_Prower> burned myself
[04:34] <Madpilot> tryingubuntu, you too - ShipIt CD, or one you burned?
[04:34] <dannylapt> Where do I put HTML files in Ubuntupreconfigured LAMP server?
[04:34] <edgyeft1> trappist: how do i access the recovery console
[04:34] <justin_> ElephantHunter: Installed Xubuntu, same thing with XFCE - but with 32megs.. I would install Flux or ICEWM.
[04:34] <XFox_Prower> it passes the "check CD for defects" too
[04:34] <Madpilot> XFox_Prower, did you run md5sum to check that the download is good?
[04:35] <tryingubuntu> I SHIPPED IT
[04:35] <XFox_Prower> I forget how to do that
[04:35] <jamminpotato> anyone know the defualt keyboard short cut to open a terminal in fluxbox?
[04:35] <Rookie-> dannylapt - you mean for apache ? /var/www
[04:35] <XFox_Prower> md5 on the iso image prior to burning?
[04:35] <trappist> edgyeft1: reboot (without the cd), hit 'esc' to get the grub menu, and choose the recovery option
[04:35] <tryingubuntu> MAD PILOT I shipped it
[04:35] <jamminpotato> ubotu tell me about fluxbox
[04:35] <dannylapt> Rookie: yes, thanks
[04:35] <Madpilot> XFox_Prower, on XP? Google 'md5sum for windows', there are several good howtos
[04:35] <jamminpotato> ubotu i mean the window manger fluxbox
[04:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about i mean the window manger fluxbox - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:35] <XFox_Prower> yea have XP here
[04:35] <justin_> jamminpotato: I do not think Flux has shortcuts, actually in their "TODO" list - adding keyboard shortcust is listed
[04:35] <trappist> XFox_Prower: I always md5sum the iso, then md5sum /dev/cdrom after the burn
[04:35] <tryingubuntu> My ubuntu dosn't even get to the Live CD stage
[04:35] <justin_> shortcuts*
[04:35] <jamminpotato> justin_ fair enough
[04:35] <Madpilot> tryingubuntu, so it's a pressed CD that doesn't work?
[04:35] <Rookie-> !fluxbox
[04:35] <ubotu> fluxbox is a lightweight and responsive window manager for GNU/Linux. For how to set it up and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox
[04:35] <XFox_Prower> trying Linux on my mom's PC because the latest Windows Update reproducably renders her system unbootable
[04:36] <R0bin> I get no permission to write on a terminal installer
[04:36] <tryingubuntu> <MAD PILOT> Yea, it works on my bro's pc and my spar one too.
[04:36] <justin_> R0bin: sudo -H -s
[04:36] <R0bin> a installer in terminal
[04:36] <Madpilot> tryingubuntu, but the same CD won't even boot on your machine?
[04:36] <justin_> R0bin: Yes, you have to sudo -H -s before you run the installer.
[04:36] <R0bin> ok
[04:37] <tryingubuntu> <MAD PILOT> No, it get to the part where it says "OK, Kernel Loaded." Then it stops dead.
[04:37] <thanatos_> how do i set up framebuffer to look like this http://fossplanet.osdir.com/slideshows/595_or/2.png
[04:37] <tryingubuntu> I tried the downloaded image to
[04:37] <edju> OK.  so no CUPS mavens.  Lemme try this - possible to install ubuntu w/ no cd drive?  I have a spare partition.
[04:38] <Madpilot> tryingubuntu, strange. hardware error w/ your CDROM drive?
[04:38] <Rookie-> vga=773 or vga=775
[04:38] <justin_> Dr_Willis: Come on Dr_Willis eye candy is great, run Compiz :D
[04:38] <tryingubuntu> <MAd PIlot>, nope, cd rom is ok, i tried a differant drive
[04:38] <R0bin> how do I exec a .run file from terminal
[04:38] <justin_> R0bin: first chmod a+x to your .run file, and then ./filename.run
[04:39] <justin_> R0bin: and I would sudo -H -s when you do it
[04:39] <trygg> Noone knows how to start expocity? :)
[04:39] <tryingubuntu> <MAd Pilot> Maybe it is a mother board problem or something?
[04:39] <jamminpotato> ok so kde is off my list
[04:39] <jamminpotato> now i jut have to try flux and xfce
[04:39] <justin_> jamminpotato: You love KDE :D
[04:39] <Madpilot> tryingubuntu, I'm not sure what to suggest then, really... sorry. Seems like a hardware screwup of some sort, and the CD drive is the obvious place to start checking...
[04:39] <justin_> jamminpotato: sarcasm ;d
[04:39] <jamminpotato> lol
[04:39] <jamminpotato> nice
[04:39] <jamminpotato> no kde is kinda plasticy and over crowded
[04:40] <jamminpotato> and the default sounds are so annoying
[04:40] <tryingubuntu> <MAd PIlot> Can any other hardware effect it?
[04:40] <justin_> jamminpotato: Yeah well its all about choice so some people like KDE - I find it has too much useless stuff, and chugs too much ram
[04:40] <R0bin> this doesnt work
[04:40] <R0bin> root@robin-desktop:/home/robin# chmod a+x ./Postal 2 Demo.run
[04:40] <trappist> R0bin: you have to escape the spaces.  try chmod a+x Post<tab>
[04:40] <justin_> I find XFCE is perfect, enough stuff.. but not so much to be eyecandy or chug ram to death.
[04:41] <XFox_Prower> any free md5 checkers?
[04:41] <justin_> R0bin: when you chmod you do not do ./
[04:41] <XFox_Prower> as in not from sites that ask for your email and then use it for spam when the link they email is a spyware installer for eAnthology?
[04:41] <Rookie-> you can pipe it ...
[04:41] <BHSPitMonkey> XFox_Prower, you should have the command md5sum already.
[04:41] <Madpilot> tryingubuntu, just about anything could, I guess
[04:41] <justin_> R0bin: you only "./" when you run the file ;)
[04:41] <yossman> i got SVIDEO TV out working on my test ubuntu station last night, that rocks.
[04:41] <XFox_Prower> not part of Windows
[04:41] <yossman> on nvidia 5200
[04:42] <Madpilot> tryingubuntu, by the way, use tab-complete to spell people's nicks properly. Try tying just 'madp' with no quotes, then hitting the tab key
[04:42] <yossman> 1024x768 on an older 32" TV.. pretty righteous ;)
[04:42] <R0bin> chmod a+x ./Postal2Demo.run
[04:42] <R0bin> doesnt work
[04:42] <R0bin> :(
[04:42] <trappist> R0bin: ok define "doesn't work"
[04:43] <XFox_Prower> md5sum command from where?
[04:43] <justin_> R0bin: do not use "./| for changemod
[04:43] <Rookie-> renamed it .. ?
[04:43] <R0bin> it doesnt exsist
[04:43] <justin_> R0bin: chmod with NO ./
[04:43] <R0bin> mod=dir?
[04:43] <trappist> R0bin: did you see what I said first?  if it has spaces in it, escape the spaces (don't omit them)
[04:43] <justin_> R0bin: exactly like this - chmod a+x Postal2Demo.run
[04:43] <justin_> after that
[04:43] <Madpilot> XFox_Prower, in XP? Not sure, really. It's been more than a year since I last ran XP at home...
[04:43] <csabo2> okay this shit is stupid, is there a text based installer on the CD?
[04:43] <justin_> R0bin: ./Postal2Demo.run
[04:44] <Rookie-> sudo ...
[04:44] <trappist> justin_: except the filename is Postal 2 Demo.run
[04:44] <Madpilot> csabo2, not on the desktop/live CD
[04:44] <csabo2> what the fuck
[04:44] <XFox_Prower> ok, but what can be done to get Ubuntu to install?
[04:44] <yossman> csabo2, try the alternate ubuntu CD
[04:44] <justin_> trappist: Well then apply the spaces of course
[04:44] <Madpilot> csabo2, language, thanks.
[04:44] <csabo2> where you people THINKING when you made this disc?
[04:44] <jamminpotato> ok off to flux box or xfce...see you in a few!
[04:44] <XFox_Prower> I've heard other stories where the installer didn't work on 32-bit AMD cpus
[04:44] <csabo2> why would you seperate the text based installer onto another CD?
[04:44] <R0bin> maybe i'm in the wrong dir
[04:44] <trappist> justin_: and escape them, is what I'm trying to tell him
[04:44] <yossman> csabo2, it works fine for a lot of people
[04:44] <XFox_Prower> I use a 64-bit here myself
[04:44] <csabo2> HOW does that make ANY SENSE AT ALL
[04:44] <justin_> but do not add "./" to chmod, only ./ when you want to run the binary.
[04:44] <Madpilot> csabo2, because the LiveCD installer works fine in most cases?
[04:44] <csabo2> in MOST, not all
[04:44] <csabo2> therefore you put BOTH installers on one disc
[04:44] <csabo2> its common sense
[04:44] <yossman> csabo2, that's why there is an alternate installer
[04:45] <csabo2> you had to go out of your way to be a moron
[04:45] <Madpilot> csabo2, so, in the minority of cases where it doesn't, get the alternate CDs
[04:45] <csabo2> on another cd, i have no OS on my PC
[04:45] <Rookie-> when you use "./" it means the file is in that directory
[04:45] <yossman> csabo2, keyword here is 'minority of cases' like madpilot says
[04:45] <Madpilot> csabo2, and stop being insulting, it won't help you get help here...
[04:45] <trappist> csabo2: there's a finite amount of space on a cd, and a distro installer doesn't occupy a trivial amount of space
[04:45] <XFox_Prower> brb gonna do a system restore and get rid of this eAnthology spyware thanks to that md5 checker installer
[04:45] <csabo2> trappist: the anaconda installer cant be that large
[04:45] <csabo2> you guys found it nessecary to put a Bit torrent TRACKER on the livecd
[04:45] <csabo2> but not the text based installer?
[04:45] <XFox_Prower> nope
[04:46] <yossman> csabo2, you should make the suggestion on the ubuntuforums.org site
[04:46] <don_jr> I downloaded a file now I can't figure out how to find/run it.  what command can I use to find where a file is?
[04:46] <trappist> csabo2: or file a bug report
[04:46] <yossman> that the liveCD also contain a text installer script
[04:46] <csabo2> i'm glad you guys have your priorites straight
[04:46] <justin_> csabo :))
[04:46] <yossman> csabo2, if you don't like it go use another dist.  geez.
[04:46] <Madpilot> csabo2, the LiveCd is the full Ubuntu desktop + installer...
[04:46] <yossman> it's not like you paid for this stuff
[04:46] <csabo2> Madpilot:  thanks captain obvious
[04:46] <trappist> csabo2: this is a user channel.  "us guys" by and large had nothing to do with it.  troll elsewhere.
[04:46] <yossman> and there's 100 dists.  go choose one.
[04:46] <R0bin> it seems towork
[04:46] <Rookie-> don_jr - start with updatedb, then locate "filename"
[04:46] <Madpilot> csabo2, now, last warning: stop being insulting.
[04:46] <don_jr> Rookie thanx
[04:46] <justin_> csabo, I agree there are some weird descisions made this time around - such as removing GCC from the default install.. and along with it xlibs-dev, which I will never understand...
[04:47] <csabo2> theres no GCC?
[04:47] <csabo2> wow what a bunch of fucktards
[04:47] <yossman> haha here it comes
[04:47] <lastnode_> would lspci list the onboard motherboard video card?
[04:47] <JoseStefan> back
[04:47] <justin_> Well you can install GCC, but its not there after install.
[04:47] <R0bin> It's intalling :D
[04:47] <R0bin> thx justin
[04:48] <trappist> obviously the livecd and the default install should have 6GB of software
[04:48] <don_jr> Rookie will the updatedb take a while? I put it in, it asked for the sudo pw, I gave it, now it's just sittin there...
[04:48] <justin_> R0bin: Your welcome, remember chmod a+x for binarys, and ONLY use ./ when you run the file - no ./ when you chmod a+x, simply the filename.
[04:48] <Madpilot> justin_, "build-essential" gets you all the compiling toys in one handy meta-package, even :)
[04:48] <Rookie-> if it is the first time, yes
[04:48] <justin_> Madpilot: Yes I know that ;)
[04:48] <Rookie-> but if you have done it before - no, should only take a min or max 2
[04:48] <R0bin> *starts playing*
[04:49] <don_jr> Madpilot what all does that give?  C++,C, java and python? more?? all in one?
[04:49] <trappist> justin_: ./ does work - it's a valid way to specify something in the current directory.  he just needed to be in the right dir and escape spaces.  try: touch foo && chmod a+x ./foo; ls -l foo
[04:49] <don_jr> Rookie okay I'll leave it be for a bit
[04:49] <justin_> I simply do not understand why it was removed from default install, well I guess Ubuntu is aimed to be a desktop system for linux .. novices mostly, and to build it up from there - so I guess most newbs will not use GCC anyways, most will use apt-get/synaptic to start
[04:49] <Madpilot> don_jr, to be honest, I'm not sure, I never bother compiling stuff.
[04:49] <Rookie-> don_jr - updatedb is a service that keeps all the files in track ...
[04:49] <justin_> trappist: If he is in the dir, but lets not complicate it :P he will learn optional ways later
[04:50] <JoseStefan> what i miss?
[04:50] <Madpilot> justin_, apparently the next version of Ubuntu will have all the b-e stuff installed by default
[04:50] <don_jr> Madpilot I'm looking to dabble in some programming but not sure what to start with, was just wondering if that had a numerous ammount of things I could try out.
[04:50] <trappist> justin_: you have to use ./ when you execute something just because the cwd isn't in the PATH (for security reasons)
[04:50] <justin_> Madpilot: Yeah well I figure they caught a lot of flack from experienced linux users from that move..
[04:50] <don_jr> Rookie should I run updatedb often? or will it do it it's self ever?
[04:50] <trappist> don_jr: I like to run it in a nightly cron job
[04:50] <justin_> trappist: You are telling me things I know..
[04:50] <Rookie-> no, it runs auto every day
[04:50] <trappist> justin_: awesome
[04:51] <lastent> !source.list
[04:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about source.list - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:51] <don_jr> trappist excuse my ignorance, this is my first nix system ever, just installed it yesterday, what's a cron job?
[04:51] <justin_> trappist: All he wanted was his game to run, not an intensive course on console commands :P~
[04:51] <jamminpotato> XFCE IS LIKE AWESOME!, or at least so far
[04:51] <jamminpotato> it is
[04:51] <JoseStefan> !tell lastent about repositories
[04:51] <don_jr> Okay, next idiot question, nix systems don't use .exe files, so what's the file I need to input to run something?
[04:51] <trappist> don_jr: cron is a service that runs commands on a schedule.  nightly, for example.
[04:52] <don_jr> trappist is that something I have to script myself or is it build into gnome or something?
[04:52] <trappist> justin_: I went there because ./ wasn't his problem.  I was... trying not to complicate things :)
[04:52] <Saxofoner> Hi all.
[04:52] <trappist> don_jr: according to Rookie- it's already set up as a cron job, so not necessary
[04:52] <lastent> JoseStefan do u know where can i find a source.list that have all i can need
[04:52] <jamminpotato> justin_ xfce is aweosome man
[04:52] <Rookie-> updatedb is build in the system ...
[04:52] <trappist> !repos > lastent
[04:52] <Madpilot> lastent, check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories
[04:53] <justin_> trappist:  ;) Yeah I know I was saying in general, since a lot of times people will complicate things so much it alienates new users back to XP etc
[04:53] <Saxofoner> Any of you know how to install   YAFRay 0.0.9 on Ubuntu?  0.0.8 is in Synaptic...
[04:53] <trappist> justin_: I feel you dog
[04:53] <don_jr> I DL'd tintin++ how do I run it?
[04:53] <Rookie-> update database ....
[04:53] <justin_> jamminpotato: I told you :P - functional enough, yet not a ram hog like KDE
[04:53] <Saxofoner> Rookie-  K.
[04:53] <justin_> jamminpotato: Only thing with XFCE is when you open Thunar, it may open 2 windows instead of one - this is a recognized bug and will be fixed with the next update.
[04:54] <Rookie-> i mean thats what updatedb is ;)
[04:54] <jamminpotato> whats the difference in synaptic between removal and complete removal?
[04:54] <jamminpotato> justin_ thunar?
[04:54] <justin_> jamminpotato: Yes, XFCE's file manager
[04:54] <jamminpotato> oh ok
[04:54] <Madpilot> jamminpotato, complete removal deletes the user config files & such too.
[04:54] <trappist> jamminpotato: complete removal also removes config files etc.
[04:54] <trappist> what Madpilot said.
[04:54] <Madpilot> heh
[04:54] <Rookie-> gmta ;)
[04:54] <jamminpotato> well kde installed all its dependences and Krap load of proggies, but if i jsut remove kde it doesnt remove all the things it installed because of it :(
[04:55] <trappist> jamminpotato: yeah it doesn't work that way.  there's an app that will remove that stuff for you based on what was installed that you didn't specify for installation, but I always forget what it is
[04:55] <trappist> debfoster!
[04:55] <trappist> that's it
[04:56] <don_jr> Can anyone tell me how to run a program I've downloaded that's not in my applications menu?
[04:56] <justin_> jamminpotato: Yeah you need to remove pack by pack..
[04:56] <trappist> don_jr: how did you download it
[04:57] <don_jr> trappist through the synoptics
[04:57] <trappist> justin_: no, I recently learned there's another way.  debfoster will help you do things like that.
[04:57] <trappist> don_jr: what package
[04:57] <jamminpotato> justin_ but it installed like 20 packs....
[04:57] <justin_> I have noticed this also, I am thinking of a way to create something similar to windows "add/remove" for Linux a recursive one..
[04:57] <don_jr> trappist tintin++
[04:57] <JoseStefan> don_jr: try Alt+F2
[04:57] <jamminpotato> justin_ you would be my hero
[04:57] <justin_> trappist: Nice :)
[04:57] <jamminpotato> if oyu made that
[04:57] <justin_> jamminpotato: Yeah well it's a far ways off :))
[04:57] <jamminpotato> you program at all?
[04:58] <don_jr> JoseStefan tells me cannot bef ound
[04:58] <justin_> But I think that is the one thing Linux needs the most..
[04:58] <Rookie-> don_jr - most likely in your home dir
[04:58] <justin_> jamminpotato: Yes
[04:58] <don_jr> Rookie how do I get there to run it?
[04:58] <trappist> don_jr: tt++
[04:58] <don_jr> trappist if that works great, but how did you find that out so I can know how to find it if something similar happens again
[04:59] <Rookie-> since i dont use gui ... i can only tell by console ...
[04:59] <trappist> don_jr: it installs to /usr/games/tt++ (which is hopefully in your $PATH)
[04:59] <trappist> don_jr: dpkg -L tintin++ to see a list of files installed by the package
[04:59] <don_jr> trappist okay, thanx
[04:59] <justin_> well time to go, enjoy XFCE jamminpotato ;D
[05:00] <don_jr> trappist why won't it show up in my games menu under applications then? do I need to killall gnome?
[05:00] <Rookie-> it can take a while ... ?
[05:00] <trappist> don_jr: possibly the package doesn't come with a menu entry
[05:00] <jamminpotato> i jsut used debfoster it looks like it removed a lot
[05:00] <jamminpotato> thanks whoever pointed that out
[05:00] <trappist> don_jr: I'm not a gnome user, so I don't know how the menu works, but if it never does show up feel free to file a bug report on the package
[05:00] <trappist> jamminpotato: yw :)
[05:01] <XFox_Prower> back and restored. Just have to reinstall yesterday's software. What a pain
[05:02] <XFox_Prower> who has a trusted md5 checker, command line utility preferably
[05:02] <root_> how do i set the boot partition when im manuall creating my paritions during the install?
[05:02] <JoseStefan> XFox_Prower, try md5sum
[05:02] <trappist> XFox_Prower: for windows?
[05:02] <root_> err
[05:02] <XFox_Prower> for Windows
[05:02] <Rookie-> someone uses root for irc ... ? hmmm
[05:03] <JoseStefan> XFox_Prower, m$ has one
[05:03] <trappist> XFox_Prower: google for md5sum.exe
[05:03] <JoseStefan> XFox_Prower, microsoft fciv
[05:03] <Ademan> anyone know where you can get the free linux wolfenstein?
[05:03] <XFox_Prower> fciv?
[05:03] <jamminpotato> why does every kde app start with K!!!1
[05:04] <JoseStefan> XFox_Prower, http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=841290
[05:04] <Ademan> cause kde is inferior :"-)
[05:04] <Rookie-> to inform they are just for kde ?
[05:04] <relachs> wolfenstein enemy territory? <.<
[05:04] <XFox_Prower> thanks
[05:04] <Ademan> relachs: i think, probably
[05:04] <JoseStefan> !tell Ademan about et
[05:05] <relachs> Ademan:  http://games.activision.com/games/wolfenstein/  2 linux mirrors
[05:06] <Ademan> thanks
[05:06] <bstone> hello
[05:06] <bstone> can anyone see this?
[05:07] <Rookie-> yea
[05:07] <bstone> oh good
[05:07] <jamminpotato> i think kde is really a virus or an extreme case of bloatware
[05:07] <bstone> is anyone here available to consult with me about the ununtu partitions?
[05:07] <bstone> jamminpotato, lol
[05:07] <bstone> i am trying to install ununtu on my macbook (intel mac) and i need to set the partitions manually
[05:08] <bstone> i have a 160gb internal HD
[05:08] <bstone> i have mac os x  on 100gb of it and a 60gb free space
[05:08] <bstone> but i believe i am doing something wrong in setting partitions. it doesn't seem to like me
[05:08] <robin> How do I compile something
[05:08] <wweasel> Could someone rather experienced here help me? This is a rather hairy issue, but put simply, I'd must update libusb to x.x.12, latest in repo is x.x.10.
[05:09] <SonicvanaJr> hehe
[05:10] <bstone> what does the ubuntu partition map look like?
[05:10] <XFox_Prower> got the md5
[05:11] <XFox_Prower> is there an area on the site that shows what the md5s should be?
[05:12] <trappist> wweasel: it's not all that hairy.  .12 is already packaged in edgy.  you could grab the package from an edgy repo.
[05:12] <bstone> there prolly is from the mirror you downlaoded from
[05:12] <XFox_Prower> I think I got it from here http://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/linux/ubuntu-releases/6.06/
[05:12] <xyr|x> hi
[05:12] <trappist> wweasel: oh wait I was thinking of another package.  I'm not sure that's in edgy.
[05:12] <robin> how do I exec a .bin
[05:12] <trappist> robin: sh filename.bin
[05:12] <wweasel> trappist: I am aware of that. I asked in the edgy IRC if I could do that, and someone said no. Dapper and Edgy do not share binary compatibility, right?
[05:13] <wweasel> trappist: It is indeed in Edgy
[05:13] <fdsd> hey guys, what app in ubuntu automounts harddrives when plugged into usb and firewire?
[05:13] <trappist> wweasel: they probably do, it's just not guaranteed.  to be safe, add an edgy deb-src line in your sources.list, apt-get source libusb, and build it yourself like that
[05:13] <llirk> is there documentation on installing ubuntu via a usb memory stick?
[05:13] <jamminpotato> what does the launcher button in xfce do?
[05:13] <XFox_Prower> 32-bit x86 iso hash: fb3af44c21f1f68cc25fda7edb8c1bd3
[05:14] <brendon> hi there one and all
[05:14] <fdsd> hey guys, what app in ubuntu automounts harddrives when plugged into usb and firewire?
[05:14] <Schalken> what's ubuntu's default screensaver?
[05:15] <HyperHacker> hi
[05:15] <Schalken> fdsd: it could be gnome-vfs-daemon
[05:15] <XFox_Prower> is it normal for it to take 20 minutes for the calander to pop up when you hit the "set time" button in install step 2?
[05:15] <HyperHacker> I just tried the Ubuntu live CD and it won't boot
[05:15] <trappist> wweasel: to build the source package, cd into the created directory, sudo apt-get build-dep libusb, then fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage
[05:15] <bstone> XFox_Prower, what if i told you yes?
[05:16] <XFox_Prower> and thereafter all buttons in that window never become active?
[05:16] <Schalken> XFox_Prower: definately not
[05:16] <fdsd> Schalken, ok
[05:16] <HyperHacker> I get the boot screen but when I choose something I just get a blinking cursor :-(
[05:16] <wweasel> trappist: You're sure about this? See, I am not new to Ubuntu but I have no experience with anything like this. It's not that I don't believe you, it's that I have two random names on IRC telling me opposite stories, so you can understand that I am confused...
[05:16] <xtreme1> Hi all
[05:16] <XFox_Prower> took 20 minutes, and the whole time, it seemed to do nothing but infinitely access my cd drive and hard drive
[05:16] <robin> can i compile stuff
[05:16] <Schalken> HyperHacker: i reccommend you post on the forums, with a little more detail if u can.
[05:17] <XFox_Prower> mouse movement would update in groups of 8 to 10 seconds, jumping across the screen
[05:17] <xtreme1> I need a little help booting up on an old machine, hope someone could give me a hand :)
[05:17] <Schalken> robin: you sure can.
[05:17] <HyperHacker> alright, thanks
[05:17] <XFox_Prower> system meets specs too as far as I know
[05:17] <jamminpotato> is ther a shortcut to shade and unshade using the mouse in XFCE, and waht does the launcher button do?
[05:17] <trappist> wweasel: I can't guarantee that installing a new libusb won't break anything, if that's what you're asking, but if it conflicts with anything, dpkg should prevent you from installing it until you also install its dependent updates
[05:17] <robin> this is a standard sourceforge project and I can't open any main file lol
[05:17] <Schalken> XFox_Prower: how much ram? sometimes 256 is still not enough.
[05:17] <XFox_Prower> 256 is the ram amount
[05:18] <XFox_Prower> I thought 192 was even enough?
[05:18] <Jural> Wondering if anyone else has had audio cd burning probs, just burned 2 fine, and now I can't burn audio cd's. Have tryed rhythmbox, serpent and gnomebaker. Gnome baker says no codec for converting the mp3 files found. Any help?
[05:18] <trappist> robin: sudo apt-get install build-essential <-- that'll give you what you need to compile most stuff
[05:18] <jamminpotato> ack! i cant get thunar to open
[05:18] <Schalken> XFox_Prower: its supposed to be, yes. but on 3 different laptops with 256, all of them died while booting the livecd :o.
[05:18] <wweasel> trappist: That isn't what I mean. I mean, the other guy said the edgy deb just won't work in Dapper. You're sure what you are saying to do will work?
[05:18] <XFox_Prower> should I use the XFCE instead?
[05:18] <Schalken> XFox_Prower: and installing another 256 on the last one fixed it.
[05:19] <XFox_Prower> it's not worth installing more ram on that system, but I have some spare
[05:19] <XFox_Prower> I mean id did get an error on the CD's memtest (just one error), but this pc gets hundreds
[05:19] <Schalken> XFox_Prower: you could try that, yes. but i would suggest you post on the forums to get some more input.
[05:19] <XFox_Prower> Memtest doesn't work on dual core CPUs
[05:19] <XFox_Prower> but that's just the case with this system I'm on
[05:19] <robin> this is the game http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/xmoto/xmoto-0.2.0-src.tar.gz?download
[05:20] <Schalken> XFox_Prower: reallly??? better remember that when i get my dual core!
[05:20] <robin> Am I missing something clear here?
[05:20] <brendon> how come on the wiki it says to add yourself here for membership  but it doesn't come up with the request form to add yourself
[05:20] <trappist> wweasel: I do it all the time, with other packages.  if libusb just plain isn't going to work, dpkg won't let you install the package that gets built by dpkg-buildpackage until you satisfy its dependencies.
[05:20] <brendon> grr
[05:20] <xtreme1> My colleague gave me an old machine, which had FC4 installed, but somehow, the partition is screwed up. Everytime I boot it up, it said Grub loading error 15. I can't even boot from Ubuntu Live CD. Could anyone give a hint on this issue? thanks in advance
[05:20] <XFox_Prower> maybe it was a bios issue. I read online it was possibly that. But no later bios exist
[05:20] <Schalken> robin: there is a howto or 2 in the ubuntu wiki about compiling programs.
[05:20] <robin> ok
[05:20] <XFox_Prower> I mean I've never had a single bsod on this system and it's real fancy ram too
[05:20] <XFox_Prower> $300 for 2gb
[05:20] <XFox_Prower> some of that Corsair gamer stuff
[05:20] <Schalken> brendon: membership for what?
[05:21] <XFox_Prower> Dual Channel too, if that confused Memtest even more
[05:21] <Schalken> XFox_Prower: i have DDR and memtest works for me.
[05:21] <KanRiNiN> Hello again guys.  I downloaded a split file, I believe rar as it's .001 .002, etc.  It opens in windows using winrar but I can't seem to download any program in Ubuntu that'll open it.
[05:21] <brendon> ubuntu membership https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncilAgenda
[05:22] <XFox_Prower> yea, thinking it's just an Asus motherboard bios issue, others had the same happen
[05:22] <HyperHacker> 7zip doesn't open it?
[05:22] <HyperHacker> or is there no 7zip for Ubuntu? heh
[05:22] <^Ocean^> is it possible to install windows drivers on wine ?
[05:22] <KanRiNiN> thanks I'll check
[05:22] <KanRiNiN> but I tried fileroller and ark
[05:22] <HyperHacker> it certainly opens every format I've seen on Windows
[05:23] <wweasel> trappist: Thank you so much for the help.
[05:23] <Madpilot> brendon, you hit Edit, then add yourself by editing the actual page.
[05:23] <trappist> np
[05:23] <Schalken> XFox_Prower: i would try XFCE, and then try more ram. but still, try the forums.
[05:24] <brendon> 0pps me bad lol  it was a late night last night for me  was busy talking my parents into ditching windows for ubuntu  they are keen
[05:24] <Schalken> ^Ocean^: no. wine sues Ubuntu's drivers.
[05:24] <Schalken> ^Ocean^: uses*
[05:24] <Johnsky> Hey guys, I've got a question...
[05:24] <XFox_Prower> oops, apparently viewing large html files crashes FireFox and all dependent processes such as Chatzilla
[05:25] <HyperHacker> geez, that captcha on the forum registration is hard... the yellow letters are difficult to make out
[05:25] <xtreme1> Could someone help me on how to get rid off Grub? thanks
[05:25] <Jural> Need help with an error: The plugin to handle a file of type audio/mpeg is not installed
[05:25] <^Ocean^> Schalken: so chances are it wont run my Phone software to hotsink to my phone then ? because it installs a funky p2k.sys driver thing
[05:25] <Schalken> XFox_Prower: :o ! i use epiphany.
[05:25] <XFox_Prower> What's epiphany?
[05:25] <Jural> plugins are installed and we're working just awhile ago
[05:25] <HyperHacker> XFox, how big? I've opened 4MB HTML files in Firefox without any problems
[05:25] <varsendaggr> !vmplayer
[05:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about vmplayer - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:25] <XFox_Prower> not sure. I can paste the url but I won't click it again
[05:25] <Warbo> Hi
[05:25] <HyperHacker> lol
[05:26] <HyperHacker> I'm using Chatzilla too so I won't risk it, heh
[05:26] <kaosx> anyone know how to turn off services that boot without using that sysv perl script...i guess im looking to do it the old fashioned way
[05:26] <Schalken> ^Ocean^: no, sorry. there are a couple of projects around for syncing with phones in linux/ubuntu, like moto4lin, though.
[05:26] <Schalken> XFox_Prower: epiphany is Gnome's official web browser.
[05:26] <mutk> xtreme1, What do you want to do with the system? Boot into the old FC4, or remove FC4 entirely?
[05:26] <Johnsky> Just recieved my copy of Ubuntu, currently running knoppix as the main OS for now,
[05:26] <Johnsky> When I try to run from the PC live CD to get to the installer, it goes through it's checklist fine, but ends up repeating
[05:26] <Johnsky> Buffer I/O error on device dm-0, then what looks to be a memory address.
[05:26] <Johnsky> I'm assuming dm-0 is my old hard drive... Is there any way to install and ignore dm-0?
[05:27] <XFox_Prower> ah a new browser to test
[05:27] <XFox_Prower> wanna be a guinea pig?
[05:27] <xtreme1> mutk: I just want to install Ubuntu on that system
[05:27] <KanRiNiN> Hey!
[05:27] <KanRiNiN> 7zip worked
[05:27] <KanRiNiN> thanks
[05:27] <xtreme1> mutk: but I can't get pass the Grub issue
[05:27] <KanRiNiN> unrar and ark wouldn't open it
[05:27] <Schalken> kaosx: System -> Administration -> Services?
[05:27] <balaco> Does anybody know how to get sound capture working with ac97 and a realtek chipset.
[05:27] <mutk> xtreme1, So the Live CD will not boot at all?
[05:27] <Warbo> I am trying to link the resolv.conf in a chrooted system to the main system's resolv.conf. Obviously symbolic linking would not work, since the path would be invalid in the chroot, so I am using hard links. However, my /etc/resolv.conf already seems to be a symbolic link to /etc/resolvconf/run/resolv.conf, and trying to hard link directly to that file says I can't because they are on different filesystems :(
[05:28] <xtreme1> mutk: no, it stop at the Grub loading error 15 thingy
[05:28] <kaosx>  Schalken: it doesnt have some of the services i need to turn off
[05:28] <xtreme1> mutk: actually, every bootable CD seems to stop at that place, so I don't know what to do with it now
[05:28] <mutk> xtreme1, Sounds like you are not booting from the cd then. You need to select it as the boot media..
[05:28] <Warbo> I have never encountered /etc/resolvconf/run/resolv.conf before, not even on my other Daper systems...
[05:28] <Schalken> kaosx: okay. i am not sure how to do it directly.
[05:29] <kaosx> I know it has something to do with inittab or the rc scripts but Im unsure how to do it properly
[05:29] <xtreme1> mutk: I did, the CD light flashed for a while, then the grub error

[05:29] <xtreme1> mutK: I set to all boots to boot from CD in bios
[05:29] <eternalswd> how do I get rhythmbox to read m4a files?
[05:29] <Warbo> !restricted > eternalswd
[05:30] <mutk> xtreme1, So when you boot normally ( Without the CD loaded) it does the same right ?
[05:30] <Madpilot> brendon, figured out the CC agenda page?
[05:30] <jamminpotato> i like xfce,
[05:30] <jamminpotato> its nice
[05:30] <xtreme1> mutk: no, not all all, nothing boot :(
[05:30] <Warbo> jamminpotato: No it isn't :)
[05:30] <jamminpotato> xubuntu is jsut xfce instead of gnome right
[05:30] <Warbo> jamminpotato: Yes
[05:30] <Madpilot> jamminpotato, yes
[05:30] <jamminpotato> kubuntu is to kde as xubuntu is to xcfe
[05:30] <jamminpotato> very cool
[05:30] <Warbo> Exactly
[05:31] <brendon> yip  sort off  i am just doing my wiki page and putting it under testamonial
[05:31] <jamminpotato> so much more freedom and power then on winXP
[05:31] <esc_ape> so, is it safe to update yet?
[05:31] <Warbo> And Edubuntu is, well, erm.....
[05:31] <Johnsky> Just recieved my copy of Ubuntu, currently running knoppix as the main OS for now, When I try to run from the PC live CD to get to the installer, it goes through it's checklist fine, but ends up repeating : Buffer I/O error on device dm-0, then what looks to be a memory address. I'm assuming dm-0 is my old hard drive... Is there anyone who can address this issue?
[05:31] <Warbo> (Edubuntu is GNOME I think)
[05:31] <Madpilot> brendon, cool. what's the URL of your wiki page?
[05:31] <jamminpotato> i ahve booted xp since i installed ubuntu 4 days ago
[05:31] <jamminpotato> fubuntu is fluxbox? lol
[05:31] <HyperHacker> shoot, I can't use KDE on Ubuntu? I have to download Kubuntu instead?
[05:31] <xtreme1> mutk: none of my bootable CD can get pass that. Ubuntu, Knoppix, FC5 + rescue disk, it all stop there
[05:31] <brendon> i'll let you youknow in a minute  just writing it up ae
[05:31] <jamminpotato> HyperHacker no
[05:31] <petriborg> oooh fubuntu?
[05:31] <HyperHacker> good
[05:31] <jamminpotato> ykubuntu is just ubuntu already kde'd
[05:32] <brendon> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Brendon8
[05:32] <Warbo> HyperHacker: KDE is in Ubuntu, just that kubuntu installs it instead of GNOME by default. Kubuntu and Ubuntu are the same
[05:32] <brendon> i think that is it
[05:32] <mutk> xtreme1, It sounds like you don't have bootable CD's. I know for sure the FC5 CD does not use grub.
[05:32] <HyperHacker> I didn't realize Gnome was based on GTK... I hate GTK
[05:32] <xtreme1> mutk: err... my CD boots fine on other machines, just not that machie :)
[05:32] <jamminpotato> im surprised there isnt a fubuntu yet
[05:32] <Schalken> HyperHacker: you can use KDE in Ubuntu, it kinda messes things up, though.
[05:33] <xtreme1> mutk: Windows bootable CD does not boot either :(
[05:33] <wajiro> slt
[05:33] <wajiro> a question
[05:33] <mutk> xtreme1, Make sure it's set to boot from the CD.
[05:33] <jamminpotato> shoot
[05:33] <Madpilot> brendon, so far I get "This page does not exist yet" @ that URL
[05:33] <wajiro> how may i use a . bin
[05:34] <wajiro> or convert *.bin in *.deb
[05:34] <brendon> yip  i haven't completed it yet  i am just editing it now
[05:34] <xtreme1> mutk: I googled a bit, and error 15 seems to be that file not found, but I just want to format the whole disk and get over with it
[05:34] <czerkacorp> wajiro: chmod +x *.bin
[05:34] <Schalken> wajiro: open up a terminal, navigate to its directory, and type its filename and hit enter.
[05:34] <czerkacorp> ./*.bin
[05:34] <Madpilot> wajiro, what are you trying to install?
[05:34] <xtreme1> mutk: I set it in the bios, first boot and second boot from CD, 3rd and 4th are turned off
[05:35] <wajiro> the new version of amsn but ive got breezy in 64 bit
[05:35] <mutk> xtreme1, Booting from CD 1 of FC5 will never result in any grub error. If you see the grub error after booting from CD1 of FC then you have failed to boot, and it's reading from the next boot evice.
[05:35] <Madpilot> Warbo, interesting point ;)
[05:35] <mutk> xtreme1, I suspect the Ubuntu Live CD is the same..
[05:36] <becubed3> Anyone know enough about gparted/ntfsresize to help me out?  I resized a NTFS partition last night, and now I can't boot, mount, anything with it.  ntfsresize reports it is fine, though.
[05:36] <eternalswd> I have all gstreamer plugins installed and when I try to import an m4a into rhythmbox, it gives the error: The GStreamer plugins to decode "MP3" files cannot be found.  What do I need to do now?
[05:36] <Schalken> becubed3: try the forums.
[05:36] <xtreme1> mutk: that's what I suspected, but the console shows "Boot from ATAPI CD-ROM:" , then I press Enter
[05:36] <Warbo> eternalswd: m4a isn't MP3 is it? Have you tied an MP3 to see if that works?
[05:37] <xtreme1> mutk: the CD light flashed for a while, then the Grub error 15 :(
[05:37] <kaosx> eternalswd: see what ubotu posts !restricted
[05:37] <kaosx> !restricted
[05:37] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  -  See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html  -  But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[05:37] <kaosx> those are the links/guides you need
[05:37] <eternalswd> warbo, mp3 works
[05:37] <kaosx> m4a is apple's format
[05:37] <kaosx> from itunes
[05:38] <Warbo> eternalswd: It probably doesn't know what the m4a file is. Does the file have a file extension?
[05:38] <mutk> xtreme1, Yes, so it reads from the CD, fails and continues. Please listen very carefully and answer my question clear - When you boot the system _without_ a cd in it, what does it do _exactly_?
[05:39] <eternalswd> kaosx, I already followed what restricted had to say and it has an m4a extension
[05:39] <xtreme1> mutk: it just show the Grub error 15
[05:39] <eetfunk> how do i change my dns servers from the command line?
[05:39] <Warbo> eternalswd: Could you try opening it in another gstreamer application, like maybe Totem (as long as you haven't installed Totem-Xine instead)
[05:39] <JoseStefan> back
[05:39] <kaosx> eetfunk: sudo vim /etc/resolv.conf
[05:39] <wajiro> mm sorry doesnt work
[05:40] <xtreme1> mutk: I think you are right, the system is obviously not booting from the CD
[05:40] <eetfunk> kaosx: thanks!
[05:40] <kaosx> eetfunk: anytime
[05:40] <eternalswd> warbo, hold on a second, let me switch from totem-xine
[05:40] <wajiro> i triec chmod
[05:40] <wajiro> and apt-get install and no
[05:40] <mutk> xtreme1, Right. So the system is doing as I have already described. It fails to read/boot from CD and continues with the next boot device. The CD drive or controller has a problem with the CD media or data..
[05:40] <Warbo> eternalswd: I would suggest a different Gstreamer app, but I can't think of one :)
[05:41] <mutk> xtreme1, It is nothing to do with what is on the harddisks
[05:41] <kaosx> doesnt amarok play m4a's?
[05:41] <Warbo> (I have played around with piping Gstreamer around in a terminal, and actually transcoded MP3 to OGG once)
[05:41] <wweasel> kaosx: Yes it does.
[05:41] <kaosx> then theres you answer
[05:41] <kaosx> Ive never had any m4a's to play to check
[05:41] <kaosx> Im still converting all my musc to ogg
[05:41] <Warbo> kaosx: Amarok uses Xine (I know 1.4.2 removes gstreamer completely)
[05:42] <xtreme1> mutk: so it got to be the CD drive that's causing the problem then?
[05:42] <Jamminpotato> if im running XFCE is it a bad idea to remove gnome?
[05:42] <llirk> is there a easy way to convert the ubuntu install cd to burn it on a dvd-r
[05:42] <wajiro> plz tell me only how convert a binary .bin in a package *.deb
[05:42] <eetfunk> kaosx: do i need to restart the network interface after that?  how?
[05:42] <Warbo> Anyone in the UK?
[05:42] <brendon> yes ogg is good  but pity my ipod  don't play them
[05:42] <eternalswd> amarok hasn't worked well for me, so that's not an option at this point.  plus I like rhythmbox's iTunes connectivity
[05:43] <Warbo> If so then Ubuntu will come up on BBC1 in a second :)
[05:43] <JoseStefan> llirk, there is am ubuntu DVD iso available
[05:43] <kaosx> eetfunk: you can do a ethX command, ill have to check on how to do it from the CLI
[05:43] <kaosx> one sec
[05:43] <JoseStefan> an*
[05:43] <mutk> xtreme1, Some CD drives are sensitive to different media ( cd blanks) You could try burning onto a different media..
[05:43] <Warbo> brendon: Rockbox forever!!!
[05:43] <llirk> JoseStefan, true, but i already have the cdrom image :)
[05:43] <kaosx> eetfunk: sudo ifonfig eth# down
[05:44] <kaosx> ifconfig rather
[05:44] <kaosx> then
[05:44] <JoseStefan> llirk, why do you want to burn a 700mb image on a 4.5gb disc?
[05:44] <kaosx> eetfunk: sudo ifconfig eth# up
[05:44] <llirk> i dont have cd media here
[05:44] <xtreme1> mutk: the thing is, I put in the CD that I received from Ubuntu and it does not work either :(
[05:44] <mutk> xtreme1, Ok, possibly a bad drive..
[05:45] <eetfunk> kaosx: again, thanks :)
[05:45] <xtreme1> I'll try to swap in another CD drive, and see what's going on. Thanks a lot
[05:45] <kaosx> eetfunk: np, I try to help out when I can
[05:45] <kaosx> eetfunk: which isnt much
[05:45] <eetfunk> kaosx: i see os x in your name, i'm also on os x.
[05:45] <wajiro> xtreme1 : wat eth acrd do u use?
[05:45] <JoseStefan> llirk, what happens if you try to burn the cd image on to the dvd disc? (curious)
[05:45] <eetfunk> recent convert from windows (4 months)
[05:45] <kaosx> eetfunk: i used to be
[05:46] <xtreme1> mutk: huh? acrd?
[05:46] <kaosx> eetfunk: i was "kaos" since I was 9...then it became too common so i added the x...now thats becoming common
[05:46] <kairu0> hey all. anyone else have a bad compiz break within the last few days?
[05:46] <kaosx> eetfunk: however Ive been using OS X since 10.0
[05:47] <eetfunk> kaosx: osx is a nice OS, but far from perfect as Jobs' fanboys like to think!
[05:47] <balaco> Does anyone know how to get ac97 audio capture working. Ive tried using alsa mixer but i cant get it to work.
[05:47] <brendon> yes tried rockbox,  but the thing is battery  power and it kept on crashing my ipod
[05:47] <kaosx> eetfunk: i learn about everything, im not a zealot against any particular thing
[05:48] <eternalswd> warbo, totem-gstreamer was unable to play it, so i'm going to double check if I have all the gstreamer codecs installed
[05:48] <Warbo> brendon: Bad luck. I got a Neuros player, but there video player doesn't play OGG like their music player does. only MP3
[05:48] <kairu0> brendon, rockbox skips too
[05:48] <Warbo> eternalswd: Try ones like gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse and stuff, since they have the most patenty-copyrighty ones
[05:48] <eetfunk> kaosx: thats the way to go.. when you fall in love with a piece of software, start asking yourself if you have a life besides hanging out with your computer :D
[05:49] <kaosx> eetfunk: yeah
[05:49] <eetfunk> what's the comment character in resolv.conf?  # or ;???
[05:49] <kaosx> #
[05:49] <Jamminpotato> when is the comment char #?
[05:49] <mutk> eetfunk, It is #
[05:49] <czerkacorp> kairu0: totally borked my compiz
[05:49] <Warbo> # is a very commonly used comment character
[05:50] <eetfunk> i got confused, some people said ; on google, and some other # :)
[05:50] <kaosx> and /* */ for large blocks
[05:50] <Warbo> ; might be multiple-line comments or something
[05:50] <khaotikuz> hey
[05:50] <mutk> eetfunk, ; is end of line syntax I beleive
[05:50] <J-_> how can i kill a process? xmms froze, i cant unfreeze it
[05:50] <kaosx> usually yes
[05:50] <khaotikuz> whazzups everyone?
[05:50] <Warbo> mutk: In bash yes
[05:50] <kaosx> kill pidofxmms
[05:50] <brendon> true it does skip and jump about,  but in saying that it does have some good features in it though
[05:51] <HyperHacker> ; is end of statement in some programming languages (C++), and comment in others (ASM) and some configuration files (INI)
[05:51] <HyperHacker> so it can get confusing :-p
[05:51] <eternalswd> warbo, I do have all the gstreamer codecs installed, I did notice that there was gstreamer0.8 stuff installed, could that be interfering?
[05:51] <kaosx> HyperHacker, dont forget perl ;)
[05:51] <HyperHacker> lol, never used it
[05:51] <kaosx> python too i think
[05:51] <khaotikuz> everyone here are using the ubuntu?
[05:51] <Warbo> Linux config files are not really a programming language, just some language which is easy to parse. (I program in Python, so # is comment for me :) )
[05:51] <reddins> not yet
[05:51] <khaotikuz> someone could answer me?
[05:51] <J-_> kaosx: that didn't work heh
[05:52] <eetfunk> is there a way to "browse" web pages with the command line in ubuntu?  i need to modify a form, but it needs to be done from my linux box (that i access through ssh)
[05:52] <wajiro> khaotiku me
[05:52] <kaosx> J-
[05:52] <HyperHacker> I've used Visual Basic, C and various forms of assembly, that's about it
[05:52] <khaotikuz> hey wajiro
[05:52] <kaosx> j-: from a shell type "top"
[05:52] <wajiro> mmmm i tried man but dont works
[05:52] <llirk> JoseStefan, this particular app doesnt like doing it, not sure what happpens i force a write
[05:52] <JoseStefan> eetfunk, try lynx
[05:52] <wajiro> khaotiku yes ??
[05:52] <khaotikuz> I need to know what version i am using...
[05:52] <kaosx> J-: then find the number next to xmms
[05:52] <khaotikuz> do you know how can i do that?
[05:52] <Warbo> eternalswd: I doubt it is conflicting, that would just be for sound-converter, thoggen or something. If you have the pitfdll plugin installed then you could try putting Windows codecs in /usr/lib/codecs
[05:52] <JoseStefan> llirk, i would get the ubuntu DVD, or a blank cdr
[05:53] <kaosx> J-: then type sudo kill whatevernumber was next to xmms
[05:53] <eetfunk> JoseStefan: does lynx allow forms and such?
[05:53] <JoseStefan> eetfunk, yes
[05:53] <J-_> thanks
[05:53] <JoseStefan> !info lynx
[05:53] <ubotu> lynx: Text-mode WWW Browser. In component main, is optional. Version 2.8.5-2ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 1074 kB, installed size 4552 kB
[05:53] <eetfunk> cool!  this feels so 1988 again! :)
[05:53] <llirk> JoseStefan, hehe... i know that, but i'd have to wait to d/l it, or leave the house .. thought i could save some time :)
[05:53] <reddins> eetfunk:  lol
[05:53] <jazzrocker> hi, can someone explain the difference between number of "connections" "downloads" and "uploads" to me in relation to bittorrent (and also other protocols if possible)?
[05:53] <wajiro> khaotiku look in synaptik
[05:54] <wajiro> depots
[05:54] <kaosx> eetfunk: in 1988 i was 3 years old
[05:54] <jazzrocker> e.g. what qualifies as "one download"
[05:54] <JoseStefan> eetfunk, personally i use lynx-cur
[05:54] <eetfunk> lynx is pretty cool!  heard of it, never used it
[05:54] <jazzrocker> is one torrent file "one download" ?
[05:54] <eetfunk> JoseStefan: whats the diff?
[05:54] <tainted_> how do i enable all the options in my Administration menu
[05:54] <tainted_> there's a bunch of options missing now
[05:54] <HyperHacker> jazzrocker: "download" could mean either number of people you're leeching from, number of files in the torrent, or number of torrents
[05:54] <Jamminpotato> speak of the devil its the 15th anniversry of linus' posting on usenet about linux
[05:54] <Jamminpotato> happy b-day linux
[05:54] <JoseStefan> eetfunk, lynx-cur is considered beta, but has more features
[05:54] <jazzrocker> HyperHacker, uhhh, ok so which one :) ?
[05:54] <HyperHacker> connection is anybody you're seeding to or leeching from
[05:54] <Warbo> tainted_: make sure your user is in admin group
[05:54] <HyperHacker> depends on context
[05:55] <tainted_> Warbo how do i do that
[05:55] <tainted_> chgrp?
[05:55] <jazzrocker> HyperHacker, ok, in ktorrent there is a setting for "number of connections per download"
[05:55] <JoseStefan> eetfunk, basicly one has version 2.8.5 and the other 2.8.6
[05:55] <jazzrocker> HyperHacker, and in btdownloadcurses there is the --max_connections option
[05:55] <Warbo> tainted_: I don't know the command line stuff, only the GUI (which is pretty useless right now!). If you can't get root then you can always use recovery mode
[05:55] <jazzrocker> HyperHacker, do you know how those relate and or if they reference slightly different definitions of "connection" ?
[05:55] <kaosx> jazzrocker, thats the total amount of people you allow to connect to you per file
[05:55] <wajiro> plz somes helps me
[05:56] <tainted_> Warbo how do i do it in GUI?
[05:56] <eternalswd> warbo, I already have codecs from mplayer in there and it includes quicktime codecs, so any other ideas?
[05:56] <jazzrocker> kaosx, including up and downloaders?
[05:56] <kaosx> jazzrocker, yep
[05:56] <jazzrocker> kaosx, HyperHacker i was told that consumer routers will freeze upon attempting over 255 connections
[05:56] <Warbo> tainted_: System>Administration>Users and Groups (probably useless, since you will not be able to run it if you are not in admin., and if you can then you don't need to)
[05:56] <Warbo> eternalswd: Sorry, I'm all out :(
[05:56] <jazzrocker> kaosx, and i've been experiencing some router freezes with bittorent
[05:56] <eetfunk> does lynx support javascript?
[05:56] <kaosx> jazzrocker, flash the firmware to something like dd-wrt
[05:56] <HyperHacker> jazzrocker, some might, depends on the brand
[05:57] <J-_> it says i have 3 users =S how the hell...
[05:57] <jazzrocker> kaosx, google brb
[05:57] <eetfunk> maybe lynx-cur?
[05:57] <HyperHacker> "number of connections per download" is the number of people it will connect to either for each torrent or each file
[05:57] <bwlang> i have a bunch of goats notes... what happened to goats?
[05:57] <jazzrocker> HyperHacker, well based on that some might i'm pretty darn sure mine is :)
[05:57] <HyperHacker> I haven't used ktorrent so I don't know which
[05:57] <bwlang> i don't find it in dapper.
[05:57] <Warbo> J-_: What does "ls /home | grep -c "."" say?
[05:57] <Jamminpotato> ubotu:  i love you
[05:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about i love you - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:57] <jazzrocker> HyperHacker, consumer router that came with the internet package
[05:57] <Jamminpotato> :'(
[05:57] <jazzrocker> i've been less than pleased with it for more than one reason already
[05:57] <llirk> ahh, i found a blank cd... moving on. . .
[05:57] <JoseStefan> eetfunk, i dont think it supports javascript
[05:57] <HyperHacker> then probably
[05:58] <kaosx> ubotu: about anything
[05:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about about anything - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:58] <JoseStefan> ubotu, botsnack
[05:58] <ubotu> Yum!
[05:58] <kaosx> lol
[05:58] <Warbo> OK, I'm off
[05:59] <jazzrocker> wow
[05:59] <n3wbie_> What IRC client do you prefer when using Ubuntu?
[05:59] <jazzrocker> dd-wrt looks leet :)
[05:59] <jazzrocker> i hope my router can handle it
[05:59] <kaosx> X-CHAT
[05:59] <kaosx> jazzrocker, is it a linksys?
[05:59] <jazzrocker> no
[05:59] <n3wbie_> X-chat?, there is no apt-get for that is there?
[05:59] <kaosx> then it wont
[06:00] <Madpilot> n3wbie_, xchat (the real xchat, not xchat-gnome...)
[06:00] <Madpilot> n3wbie_, it's in Universe
[06:00] <jazzrocker> kaosx, oh, well fat loada good that does me :(
[06:00] <n3wbie_> Really Madp?
[06:00] <kaosx> jazzrocker, what kind of router you have?
[06:00] <jazzrocker> kaosx, as i said it's a consumer router from my ISP
[06:00] <teethdood> anyone using Edgy Eft right now? I'm about to upgrade to it, everything working decently?
[06:00] <jazzrocker> kaosx, it's a 2wire
[06:00] <Jamminpotato> n3wbie_: use BitchX ftw
[06:00] <jazzrocker> not sure the model
[06:00] <Flannel> teethdood: #ubuntu+1
[06:00] <n3wbie_> I did not see it there, so is the Gnome X-chat inside Universe also?
[06:00] <kaosx> jazzrocker, 2wire makes some real shit.
[06:00] <Madpilot> n3wbie_, yes - I'm using it to talk to you right now ;)
[06:00] <n3wbie_> Jamminpotato: I am a n3wbie_
[06:00] <jazzrocker> hahah tell me about it
[06:00] <bwlang> teethdood: if you're not prepared for brokenness  you shouldn't upgrade
[06:00] <Jamminpotato> yea use BitchX for your irc client
[06:01] <Jamminpotato> its the best
[06:01] <n3wbie_> Madpilot: I see
[06:01] <kaosx> n3wbie_ irssi works too
[06:01] <n3wbie_> Jamminpotato: Is it the best?
[06:01] <n3wbie_> how so
[06:01] <kaosx> pick what you like after testing them out
[06:01] <Jamminpotato> well its the least cluttered interface
[06:01] <brendon> yip bitchX  is the best have been using it for awhile now my self
[06:01] <jazzrocker> uhhhh... you're all recommending CLI IRC for a n00b?
[06:01] <jazzrocker> n3wbie_, use X-Chat 2
[06:01] <Jamminpotato> you gotta learn sometime
[06:01] <jazzrocker> n3wbie_, (not X-Chat GNOME, that's too alpha)
[06:01] <Madpilot> jazzrocker, xchat isn't a cli irc...
[06:01] <Trae> *sigh* Ubuntu is the best distro out there.
[06:01] <HyperHacker> there are non-CLI IRCs? lol
[06:01] <Jamminpotato> yea i need to get the right xcaht on
[06:01] <brendon> hear hear trae
[06:02] <JoseStefan> i use mIRC :(
[06:02] <Trae> brendon it sucks when there is a bug that makes your laptop overheat and shut off :(
[06:02] <kaosx> through wine?
[06:02] <jazzrocker> n3wbie_, are you specifically looking for a CLI IRC client?
[06:02] <JoseStefan> kaosx, no :(
[06:02] <jazzrocker> n3wbie_, if not sudo apt-get install xchat2 should work fine
[06:02] <HyperHacker> Trae, at least it's not a faulty battery that makes your laptop overheat and explode
[06:02] <brendon> true trae  on that one
[06:02] <upgrdman> i just tried to install ubuntu 6.06, and when i restarted, all i get is the letter j when my bios tried to boot my HDD
[06:02] <kaosx> and blow your nuts apart
[06:02] <HyperHacker> unless the battery is made by Sony, then you might be in trouble
[06:02] <eetfunk> thanks to you all guys!  this kind of friendly support is what makes ubuntu great, and what will make ubuntu grow even more!
[06:03] <brendon> but hey ubuntu is the better distro of linux out there
[06:03] <Trae> https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/22336
[06:03] <eetfunk> (and i mean it)
[06:03] <kaosx> danke
[06:03] <wweasel> trappist: are you still around?
[06:03] <jazzrocker> brendon, indeed
[06:03] <JoseStefan> eetfunk, np
[06:03] <kaosx> eetfunk: im no linux expert, but i help when i can
[06:03] <jazzrocker> n3wbie_, actually ya know what, it's just "sudo apt-get install xchat"
[06:03] <jazzrocker> n3wbie_, no "2" needed
[06:03] <tyler_d> help with a dvd cracling audio plz??
[06:03] <n3wbie_> I went to "software properties" and added all repos, is that ok?
[06:04] <Jamminpotato> yea xchat regular > xchat-gnome
[06:04] <kaosx> n3wbie_ thats fine
[06:04] <kaosx> you might already have xchat actually
[06:04] <n3wbie_> good
[06:04] <bstone> i need help setting up the partition table
[06:04] <eetfunk> i went from almost total n00b yesterday to a fully configured server with lighttpd, mongrel, ruby, rails, php and so on :)
[06:04] <bstone> can someone help me?
[06:04] <bwlang> bstone: just ask...
[06:04] <kaosx> applications menu > internet > xchat
[06:04] <n3wbie_> I do not know I am on Kvirc2
[06:04] <bstone> i need to set the parittons manually? what should they look like?
[06:05] <kaosx> I havent started with ruby on here yet
[06:05] <kaosx> I just started learning that
[06:05] <jazzrocker> n3wbie_, yuck... xchat are teh roxor
[06:05] <kaosx> maybe a week ago
[06:05] <bstone> i have a 160gb hd. 100gb is OS X. the 60gb is "free space". i nwant to make Ununtu in 15gb.
[06:05] <jazzrocker> n3wbie_, but kopete > gaim
[06:05] <n3wbie_> Nope I am on Xubuntu, no Xchat
[06:05] <n3wbie_> GAIM is horrible..
[06:05] <HyperHacker> haha, try Gaim for Windows
[06:05] <Jamminpotato> gaim is good for aim but sucks for irc
[06:05] <jazzrocker> hehehe, GAIM isn't all that bad, it's certainly usable, and simple
[06:05] <kaosx> better than AIM though
[06:06] <HyperHacker> sadly the best AIM client available
[06:06] <jazzrocker> ewww, yeah gaim is crap for IRC
[06:06] <Jamminpotato> i use gaim on win and nix, but no for irc
[06:06] <Jamminpotato> xcaht ftw
[06:06] <n3wbie_> Alright I do have X-chat, but only the Gnome version in synaptic
[06:06] <bwlang> bstone: i don't have direct experience with osX... but i think you should add a second primary partition of the size you want
[06:06] <Jamminpotato> though i need to try issiri or however it is spelled
[06:06] <Madpilot> n3wbie_, yeah, GAIM for IRC is awful - and XChat willl run fine in Xubuntu, btw
[06:06] <jazzrocker> HyperHacker, actually trillian is better :)
[06:06] <bytewalker> what package has the 'X includes' i need to compile KDE programs? Kdevelop is givin me that error
[06:06] <jazzrocker> HyperHacker, but it costs $$$
[06:06] <HyperHacker> eugh
[06:06] <kaosx> xchat - has perl, python, and ruby plugins available....tcl too i think
[06:06] <Flannel> n3wbie_: xubuntu can have Xchat, it's in universe
[06:06] <Madpilot> n3wbie_, gnome apps run fine in Xubuntu
[06:06] <HyperHacker> I had Trillian before
[06:06] <n3wbie_> Yeah, for AIM / GAIM is ok - but for IRC it's horrible...
[06:06] <bstone> bwlang, i see. can you be more specific please?
[06:06] <n3wbie_> Nice, i'll give the gnome X-chat a shot
[06:06] <HyperHacker> V1 was horribly buggy and corrupted itself to the point of not starting every month
[06:06] <bstone> i am looking for a partition map image that i can model my system as
[06:06] <HyperHacker> V2 didn't even run
[06:07] <HyperHacker> I was afraid to even use V3
[06:07] <JoseStefan> which IRC clients does a default install of ubuntu include?
[06:07] <Flannel> n3wbie_: heh, get xchat, not xchat-gnome ;)
[06:07] <Flannel> JoseStefan: Gaim
[06:07] <JoseStefan> in total
[06:07] <n3wbie_> :o
[06:07] <Madpilot> JoseStefan, Gaim, and irssi, or whatever that cli one is called
[06:07] <n3wbie_> What is this perverted stuff?
[06:07] <kaosx> irssi
[06:07] <Flannel> JoseStefan: As of Dapper, the powers at be, thought xchat wasn't important.  and yeah, irssi.
[06:07] <bwlang> bstone: well... just start your partitioning tool (eg fdisk...) and add a new partition in the empty space.
[06:07] <DarkMageZ> n3wbie_, "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xchat" xchat-gnome is crap
[06:07] <n3wbie_> Xchat Gnome -> dependancy = libsexy2?
[06:07] <n3wbie_> perverts!
[06:07] <bstone> bwlang, i was using the tool that came with the ubuntu installer
[06:07] <Jamminpotato> why isnt xchat regular a default install
[06:08] <bstone> bwlang, is that sufficent?
[06:08] <bwlang> bstone: gparted... that's fine too
[06:08] <jazzrocker> Jamminpotato, i've wondered that myself
[06:08] <Madpilot> n3wbie_, libsexy is a decoration library - with, granted, an odd name ;)
[06:08] <jazzrocker> Jamminpotato, he is on Xubuntu, and xchat is a GNOME app... so that probably explains why they didn't include it in his default
[06:08] <n3wbie_> Madpilot: I bet you a man wrote it hihi
[06:08] <HyperHacker> n3wbie_, I'm sure the "sexy" is an unfortunate acronym ;-)
[06:08] <Madpilot> Jamminpotato, there's a bug on malone about it, basically the devs figured Gaim was good enough for basic IRC...
[06:08] <jazzrocker> Jamminpotato, as i recall X-Chat GNOME comes with Ubuntu
[06:08] <Jamminpotato> i dont think its included defualt on ubuntu
[06:08] <Jamminpotato> iirc
[06:08] <Madpilot> jazzrocker, not anymore
[06:08] <Jamminpotato> i jut installed three days ago
[06:08] <jazzrocker> which kinda pissed me off cuz it sucks
[06:08] <bstone> ok i am going to try this again
[06:08] <jazzrocker> Madpilot, oh? maybe that was breezy
[06:08] <HyperHacker> Super Enhanced X something
[06:09] <Madpilot> jazzrocker, might have been Breezy, yah
[06:09] <kaosx> cant say for certain i installed breezy then updated from apt
[06:09] <bstone> bwlang, can you point me to an image of an ubuntu setup? i need to model my system after it
[06:09] <Flannel> bstone: liveCD ;)
[06:09] <OsirisX11> if i want to switch video cards from an nvidia to an ati do i uninstall my old driver and install the new driver before installing the card? what order should i do?
[06:09] <Jamminpotato> oh irssi is cli ....
[06:09] <feet> hi there. how do i change the appearance (eg themes, fonts, colours) of kde apps or qt apps in GNOME. tried qt3-qtconfig, but it doesnt apply to amarok or kopete which i use in GNOME.
[06:09] <bstone> Flannel, can you explain?
[06:10] <Lilandra> Hi!
[06:10] <brendon> hey mu wiki page is up yay
[06:10] <feet> a great ubuntu setp : ubuntu-desktop >_>
[06:10] <Flannel> bstone: the liveCD is an image of ubuntu, instead of being package based
[06:10] <JamminIrssi> i def. didnt realize that irssi was cli
[06:10] <Lilandra> i have a problem with my dpkg database
[06:10] <bstone> Flannel, so i can just lok at how it is set up....ahhhh
[06:11] <bwlang> bstone: i don't know of an osX shared system... but there's not much to mess up from linux's perspective - you just need to right click in the empty space and say you want a new partion of 15G.  You'll have to figure out what to do about a boot loader so you can choose which OS to boot up.
[06:11] <Lilandra> does anyone know where i can find what packages are installed by default with edubuntu?
[06:11] <wweasel> Could someone help? I am trying to upgrade libusb to x.x.12, when the latest in repos is 10. I added the edgy source repo, downloaded the source to libusb x.x.12, and now I am trying to run "apt-get build-dep libusb". I get error "Build-Depends dependency for libusb cannot be satisfied because no available versions of package debhelper can satisfy the version requirements"
[06:11] <Jamminpotato> well i ahve to goto sleep, so g'night
[06:11] <feet> Lilandra,  edubuntu-desktop
[06:11] <kaosx> !edubuntu
[06:11] <ubotu> Edubuntu is an Ubuntu derivative aimed at schools and educational institutions. For more info, see http://www.edubuntu.org
[06:11] <Flannel> Jamminpotato: yeah, xchat is breezy.  xchat-gnome is in main in dapper, (xchat is universe) but not installed by default
[06:11] <Lilandra> thanks feet! because  apt says it's not installed! :(
[06:11] <Jamminpotato> thanks Flannel
[06:12] <OsirisX11> someone please help with my video card question..if i want to switch video cards from an nvidia to an ati do i uninstall my old driver and install the new driver before installing the card? what order should i do?
[06:12] <feet> might wanna get it back and then all the apps will come back :D
[06:12] <Lilandra> ah! well i have the apps...they're just not in the database, you know?
[06:12] <Lilandra> alrighty :)
[06:12] <Lilandra> thanks very much
[06:12] <wweasel> Any ideas on my problem building an edgy source?
[06:13] <Lilandra> is there no other way to recover a corrupt database?
[06:13] <feet> hopefully ur system will be aware after that
[06:13] <kaosx> OsirisX11, shouldnt be a problem to just remove it and install the new one
[06:13] <Jamminpotato> is there a command to lock the screen
[06:13] <OsirisX11> kaosx: i can just take out my nvidia card and put in the new one without doing anything with drivers?
[06:13] <mrcsparker> OsirisX11: I think that you should be able to install the new driver, add it to /etc/modules, and the add it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:13] <OsirisX11> its an ati card
[06:13] <Rexkwando> anyone have a suggestion for a good PCI video card for someone on a budget?
[06:13] <kaosx> Ive dont it that way in redhat before
[06:13] <bwlang> OsirisX11: just install the new card and boot into CLI mode  to reconfigure your video setup (dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:13] <Jamminpotato> anyoen konw a terminal command to lock the screen?
[06:14] <Lilandra> thanks
[06:14] <__kate> Hello everyone! I'm trying to access files that are on my Linux machine from my Mac. I have my Linux box running a Samba server, and when I try to connect to it from the Mac, it sees the server and the share that I set up, but I can't get it to authenticate me. Would anyone mind giving me a hand?
[06:14] <OsirisX11> bwlang: should i install the ATI driver before installing the card?
[06:14] <acersales> my sound card is working in root but is not working in user how to find an option to enable it ?
[06:14] <Jamminpotato> ubotu lock screen terminal
[06:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lock screen terminal - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:14] <trpr> OsirisX11: just out of curiosity, why are you swapping the card?
[06:15] <mrcsparker> OsirisX11: yes you should install the driver before the card
[06:15] <kmasta> anyone knoow a good program for controlling the fans on my computer?
[06:15] <OsirisX11> trpr: to do video capture using ati all in wonder
[06:15] <bwlang> OsirisX11: you can - but you could also just install it from text mode...
[06:15] <trpr> OsirisX11: ah. that sounds cool
[06:15] <kaosx> _kate: youre connecting through finder?
[06:15] <z3r0_> is anyone here use proxychains
[06:15] <Flannel> __kate: you need to setup user samba passwords: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba
[06:15] <__kate> kaosx: Yep. Go > Connect to server
[06:16] <bwlang> __kate: you need to have your user created in samba AND linux to make it work... smbadduser
[06:16] <kaosx> _kate: what he said
[06:16] <__kate> I followed the directions that were in the ubuntu starter guide for setting up users... I may have misunderstood something
[06:16] <z3r0_> anyone here got it working with tor
[06:17] <Flannel> __kate: read the wiki.  Some of the stuff on ubuntuguide is inaccurate
[06:17] <wweasel> I am trying to compile an Edgy source in Dapper and I am running into the following problem: "Build-Depends dependency for libusb cannot be satisfied because no available versions of package debhelper can satisfy the version requirements" Help?
[06:17] <bwlang> Jamminpotato: you could try setting up gnome-screensaver to requre a password and run gnome-screensaver-command --activate to turn it on
[06:17] <Flannel> wweasel: That's probably because you need libraries that don't have dapper versions
[06:17] <kaosx> well im off to play some Tribes, gnight everyone
[06:17] <wweasel> Flannel: Would it tell me which ones?
[06:17] <Jamminpotato> bwlang, i guess, there should just be a command to lock screen
[06:17] <wweasel> Flannel: I am trying to compile a library myself.
[06:18] <bwlang> Jamminpotato: there probably is - i just don't know it
[06:18] <Jamminpotato> bwlang, fair enough
[06:18] <Flannel> wweasel: check the makefile, you know it's 'debhelper', or - ask in #ubuntu+1
[06:19] <acersales> my sound card is working in root but is not working in user how to find an option to enable it ?
[06:19] <bwlang> Jamminpotato: if you really want it  you could investigate the source for the lock screen dock applet
[06:19] <Jamminpotato> you happen to have a link for that bwlang?
[06:19] <bwlang> acersales: it's not an option you're looking for... i think it sounds like a permission problem.
[06:19] <wweasel> Flannel: I never know where to ask...I am trying to do Edgy stuff in dapper
[06:20] <Flannel> wweasel: right, but youre asking about information regarding edgy packages
[06:20] <z3r0_> anyone here got proxychains working with tor??
[06:20] <acersales> bwlang, but i can access from root ? so what should i do where to set the permission ? i am using ubuntu dapper
[06:20] <wweasel> Flannel: Thanks
[06:20] <don_jr> when I use ctrl+alt+f1  is there a way to get back into gnome?  startx didn't work
[06:20] <z3r0_> i take that as a no!
[06:20] <witless> i'm thinking of getting a laptop from ebay.  is there a list of near-100% ubuntu-compatible laptops available?
[06:20] <JoseStefan> donjr, ctrl+alt+f7
[06:20] <wickers> hey guys
[06:21] <kmasta> anybody got a good way to controll my fans?
[06:21] <bwlang> witless: thinkpad t series are nearly 100% supported
[06:21] <don_jr> JoseStefan thank you very much
[06:21] <wickers> anyway to do colour correction in X11???
[06:21] <wickers> like monitor calibration?
[06:21] <witless> bwlang: thanks
[06:21] <kmasta> kinda, i just want them to know when to turn down and the kick in when needed
[06:21] <bwlang> acersales: probably it's a matter of adding your user to an already existing group
[06:22] <kmasta> i have a fan controll program that came with my mobo for windows, but i need something for linux
[06:22] <bwlang> acersales:ls -l /dev/dsp
[06:22] <bwlang> crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 3 2006-08-25 23:13 /dev/dsp
[06:22] <Fnyar> Is there any reason to reserve any blocks (ext3) for a non-system drive I'm going to be using for network storage? My understanding is that these are reserved blocks that the superuser can use in the event that the filesystem otherwise becomes full
[06:22] <TimmyTime> rm -rf
[06:22] <bwlang> acersales: if your user is not in audio then you should probably add it using adduser audio 'yourusername'
[06:22] <Flannel> witless: the wiki has hardware compat lists
[06:23] <kmasta> right now my fans are running full blast
[06:23] <acersales> bwlang, thanks a lot
[06:23] <bwlang> Fnyar: you should consider another filesystem... ext3 is pretty slow compared to xfs for many operations
[06:23] <acersales> bwlang, it gives error
[06:24] <acersales> user audio doesnt exist
[06:24] <Fnyar> bwlang: this doesn't need to be a high performance file system
[06:24] <bwlang> Fnyar: and you need those blocks to fix things if the drive gets totally full
[06:24] <bwlang> acersales: maybe i have the syntax wrong... man adduser
[06:24] <Fnyar> bwlang: like running fsck on the drive?
[06:24] <acersales> bwlang, ok
[06:24] <bwlang> Fnyar: no - you actually need space to delete ...
[06:24] <Flannel> acersales: switch those, adduser user group
[06:25] <Jamminpotato> where is the recyle bin folder?
[06:25] <brendon> umm no i haven't figured out the membership  consideration wiki page yet as it looks like html or the likes to me
[06:26] <brendon> i don't understand it
[06:26] <Jamminpotato> where is the recyle bin folder??
[06:26] <bwlang> jamminpotato: .Trash ?
[06:26] <Jamminpotato> bwlang, its just .Trash?
[06:26] <bwlang> i think so - have a look in there.
[06:26] <feet> ya it is
[06:26] <Jamminpotato> bwlang, yup thanks
[06:27] <hawkaloogie> Jamminpotato, there's a .Trash* on the mountpoint of each volume, as well as in your home directory iirc
[06:28] <Jamminpotato> dang i still can't find a terminal command to lock the screen...mr.Google is being stubborn
[06:28] <feet> how come you want a terminal command for it, just curious
[06:29] <Lilandra> how do i reinstall a package with apt-get if it's already installed?
[06:29] <Jamminpotato> a. im curious b. my lock button in XFCE is not working
[06:29] <feet> doesnt synaptic have a reinstall option
[06:29] <Jamminpotato> feet, what would i reinstall?
[06:29] <Jamminpotato> oh nvm
[06:29] <feet> lol
[06:29] <z3r0_> or just apt-get remove <deb>
[06:30] <z3r0_> and than apt-get install <deb>
[06:30] <feet> or even sudo dpkg --purge package.deb
[06:30] <feet> to get rid of those config files which so often are screwed up :D
[06:30] <JoseStefan> Lilandra, apt-get hasa --reinstall option, man apt-get
[06:30] <brendon> umm yip syaptic  does have a reinstall function
[06:30] <z3r0_> purge gets rid of everything relating to that package
[06:30] <Lilandra> well if i remove it the dependencies will break
[06:30] <Lilandra> for other things
[06:30] <Lilandra> oh well i guess i can redownload all those other things
[06:31] <JoseStefan> Lilandra, try: apt-get --reinstall install pkgname
[06:31] <Lilandra> Reinstallation of libglib2.0-0 is not possible, it cannot be downloaded.
[06:31] <Lilandra> 0
[06:32] <Lilandra> i've changed the sources back to the cd because id idn't want to have to redownload everything
[06:33] <feet> if you ever decide to dist-upgrade or upgrade, youll need to download everything anyway
[06:33] <JoseStefan> Lilandra: you probably have new packages installed which depend on packages not found on the CD
[06:33] <Lilandra> i know! but i can do that more slowly
[06:33] <Lilandra> yes! :)
[06:33] <azad> hey all!
[06:33] <azad> I'm having some trouble with grub.
[06:33] <azad> I make changes to kopt, but it doesn't seem to make a difference - the changes are gone when I do update-grub
[06:34] <wickers> anyway to do colour correction in X11???
[06:34] <wickers> like monitor calibration?
[06:34] <azad> what is update-grub reading from?
[06:34] <z3r0_> anyone here use proxychains??
[06:34] <FantasticFoo> can anyone help me use the "radeon" driver? i've downloaded fglrx from ati, installed it, and fglrx works and all, but then when i tried to uninstall fglrx, and use radeon, i can' t get it to work
[06:34] <lufis> Would anyone recommend KDE with 384 MB of memory?
[06:34] <noiesmo> azad, /boot/grub/menu.1st
[06:34] <feet> heck yeah
[06:34] <feet> i run KDE smoothly on 256 MB, so 384 is fine
[06:35] <azad> noiesmo: but it gets reverted when update-grub is run.
[06:35] <lufis> feet: I dunno. Gnome is lagging as it is.
[06:35] <brendon> help adding myself to be considered  for ubuntu membership
[06:35] <feet> you must run a billion proggies at once then
[06:35] <feet> or have an old slow processor
[06:35] <noiesmo> azad, ah yeah sorry it reads from /boot
[06:35] <HyperHacker> feet, maybe he has a celeron ;-)
[06:36] <lufis> feet: Just gaim, Firefox, and rhythmbox typically. I'm running a 1.8 ghz p4
[06:36] <HyperHacker> maybe not
[06:36] <azad> noiesmo: what does?
[06:36] <JoseStefan> i'm running a p3-1.0ghz :(
[06:36] <feet> i have a celeron, works fast
[06:36] <azad> noiesmo: I can make changes to /boot/grub/menu.lst, but they don't stay..
[06:36] <Madpilot> brendon, help with what part?
[06:36] <z3r0_> which is better gnome or kde
[06:36] <z3r0_> i do prefer gnome
[06:36] <feet> depends on ur needs
[06:36] <HyperHacker> hm, I had a celeron and it ran like a brick
[06:36] <z3r0_> but kde looks alot better
[06:36] <Flannel> azad: you sure you're changing it, and saving it?
[06:36] <brendon> understanding the code in the wikipage
[06:37] <Madpilot> z3r0_, that's a matter of opinion
[06:37] <azad> Flannel: absolutely.
[06:37] <z3r0_> any other differences apart from that
[06:37] <feet> kde for the windows-lovers, gnome for the rest lol
[06:37] <garrett|mass> Good evening, #ubuntu!
[06:37] <azad> Flannel: it reverts when I do update-grub
[06:37] <brendon> it looks dutch to me
[06:37] <lufis> HyperHacker: I installed KDE a while back and it was sluggish. Of course so is gnome... :-p
[06:37] <Madpilot> brendon, you need to be more specific. which wiki code?
[06:37] <garrett|mass> I have some Compiz issues, if anyone is willing to give it a whirl.
[06:37] <JoseStefan> feet, i think gnome is better for windows lovers
[06:37] <noiesmo> azad, don't run grub-update after changing menu.1st
[06:37] <sto6ma9ch> good evening, er morning.
[06:37] <feet> i dunno, gnome has less setup-y thingies
[06:37] <azad> Flannel: noiesmo: The issue is that the changes I make don't survive past the next kernel patch.
[06:37] <z3r0_> i think kde is better for windows lovers
[06:37] <Flannel> azad: why are you update-grubing?
[06:37] <z3r0_> somewhat close to the windows gui
[06:38] <feet> gnome seems more mac-os 9 like
[06:38] <lufis> KDE is kind of weird to me. The endless k's is just annoying
[06:38] <azad> Flannel: update-grub is what will be run after each kernel-update, no?
[06:38] <JoseStefan> i find kde komplicated
[06:38] <Flannel> azad: update-grub regenerates the menu.lst
[06:38] <garrett|mass> JoseStefan, KDE is very confusing, sometimes. Klunky. Konfusing.
[06:38] <feet> i find gnome bare and kde bloated, and xfce HARD
[06:38] <brendon> on this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncilAgenda  when i go to edit i don't understand all the code
[06:38] <Flannel> azad: what are you changing in the menu.lst?
[06:38] <brendon> i don't know html
[06:39] <JoseStefan> havent seen xfce yet
[06:39] <Jamminpotato> z3r0_, i used to use windows and i find kde revolting and so far i love vxfce
[06:39] <Flannel> brendon: you don't need to know html, it's wiki stuff, not html.  Theres a link at the top of the page (help on formatting, or whatever)
[06:39] <garrett|mass> Compiz problems, anyone able to help?
[06:39] <Flannel> garrett|mass: #ubuntu-xgl
[06:39] <Madpilot> brendon, it's not really HTML, it's wiki markup. One of the uses of your own user page is to play around with code, without screwing important pages up - use it as a test box.
[06:39] <garrett|mass> Flannel, you're awesome. Thanky.
[06:39] <z3r0_> Jam:i did use kde with suse  and i loved it coz it looks soo pretty but i prefer gnome
[06:39] <Jamminpotato> i like xfce the best out of gnome, kde, xfce
[06:39] <lufis> Could someone shed some light on a behavior in Gnome? I notice that scrollbars, text, windows, etc., take a long time to render. The window will appear when opening an app, and then scrollbars will appear half a second later or more. Is this a cross-hardware problem?
[06:40] <feet> gnome is like that for me
[06:40] <feet> in fact, most gtk+2 apps are like that for me
[06:40] <azad> Flannel: I'm adding kopt=resume2=swap:/dev/hda5
[06:40] <eternalswd> warbo, I fixed my problem.  turns out I accidentally upgraded libfaad from the merillat repository when I had loaded for mplayer.  reverting it to dapper's version solved the problem
[06:40] <azad> Flannel: and I want that to stay there even after the next kernel updates, obviously..
[06:40] <z3r0_> just a stupid question can have both kde and gnome installed
[06:40] <Madpilot> z3r0_, yes
[06:41] <z3r0_> and i can choose whch seesion i want to go into
[06:41] <z3r0_> thx Mad
[06:41] <lufis> z3r0_: Yes, but you can only use one at a time :P
[06:41] <JoseStefan> hmm
[06:41] <cvp> I can't play a DVD! I've downloaded and installed all sorts of media players, and I keep getting the message that I don't have sufficient resources. Ideally, I'd like to get VLC to play a DVD, but at this point any media player will mak me happy.
[06:41] <lufis> cvp: Do you have the CSS decypt package installed?
[06:42] <z3r0_> use vlc
[06:42] <feet> did you check the restrictedformats page on the wiki
[06:42] <z3r0_> is pretty good
[06:42] <JoseStefan> wouldnt it be cool to have the different desktop mannagers on those missing ctrl+alt+f# buttons
[06:42] <z3r0_> or get mplayer
[06:42] <cvp> z3r0: I have both!
[06:42] <brendon> cheers madpilot i just used txt on my wikipage  my idea is keep it simple as possible
[06:42] <HyperHacker> z3r0_, he said he's using VLC
[06:42] <trpr> lufis: that is not entirely true. you can use kde apps in gnome as easily as gtk apps can be used in kde. in the real world people mix and match
[06:42] <z3r0_> me too
[06:42] <z3r0_> lol
[06:42] <cvp> lufis: I think so... how do I check?
[06:42] <lufis> trpr: yes, but I mean the desktop environment as a whole
[06:42] <Madpilot> brendon, got the URL to your page handy? I managed to loose it
[06:42] <HyperHacker> is it the right region? or better yet have you disabled that nasty region coding? ;-)
[06:43] <Yon> hello
[06:43] <Yon> all
[06:43] <Yon> !ontopic
[06:43] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[06:43] <Yon> lol
[06:43] <Yon> kk
[06:43] <bwlang> anybody know if alsa is setup to do dmix by default in dapper?
[06:43] <cvp> HyperHacker: it's region 1, and I'm in region 1.
[06:43] <Yon> well can any one help me with apache2
[06:43] <lufis> Cvp: Chances are you don't. Check out this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[06:43] <brendon> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Brendon8
[06:43] <z3r0_> anyone know if edgy is ready for use
[06:44] <Madpilot> Yon, #apache
[06:44] <feet> edgy is usable, some packages arent stable yet
[06:44] <Yon> oh realy
[06:44] <z3r0_> is anyone using it?
[06:44] <lufis> cvp: Click on "playing encrypted DVDs"
[06:44] <brendon> don't laugh at me please madpilot
[06:44] <feet> i am
[06:44] <z3r0_> i was thnking about upgrading but  think i'll wait
[06:45] <lgy> d
[06:45] <lgy> p
[06:45] <JoseStefan> i will probably try edgy at around knot 3
[06:45] <z3r0_> feet: howz it look?
[06:45] <feet> looks the same as dapper
[06:46] <feet> not completely done yet lol
[06:46] <cvp> lufis: Yep, I remember doing that. Twice.
[06:46] <Yon> yeh thanks for the link
[06:46] <aSt3raL> hey where does xmms install to what path?
[06:46] <feet> /usr/bin/xmms
[06:46] <z3r0_> im guessing /usr/share/lib
[06:46] <Yon> however it is debain and there is more people in this chanel that may know :P
[06:46] <z3r0_> or that lol
[06:46] <lufis> cvp: Hmm...
[06:47] <Yon> how do i configure mod_proxy in debian
[06:47] <z3r0_> /usr/bin is where the bin file is
[06:47] <z3r0_> not the folder for xmms
[06:47] <cvp> lufis: I'm gonna go through the getting-to-work-in-a-hurry business on the restrictedformats page. I'll bug you again if that doesn't solve anything with totem.
[06:47] <Flannel> azathoth: try setting them as kopt_2_6= see if those get parsed
[06:47] <feet> what exactly are you looking for z3r0_
[06:47] <lufis> Cvp: Alright. Good luck :)
[06:48] <Flannel> azathoth: er, not you.  sorry.
[06:48] <feet> as you should know already, packages install files all over the place
[06:48] <z3r0_> im trying to see if anyone can help me with proxychains feet.
[06:48] <feet> oh sorry z3r0_  wrong name
[06:48] <feet> i mean aSt3raL
[06:48] <feet> lol
[06:48] <z3r0_> feet: u ever use proxychains
[06:48] <aSt3raL> thanks
[06:48] <feet> nah
[06:48] <aSt3raL> it was user/lib
[06:48] <lgy> sss
[06:49] <aSt3raL> er bin
[06:49] <alephant> Hey, what's the easiest way to get a kernel .config for the stock Ubuntu kernels?
[06:49] <lgy> ssssss
[06:49] <azathoth> heh
[06:49] <alephant> sadly, /proc/config doesn't exist
[06:49] <feet> xmms is in /usr/bin, its config files are in ~/.xmms (including plugins and skins)
[06:49] <lgy> [[
[06:49] <feet> if you want to install skins and plugins, put them in .xmms in your home folder
[06:49] <azathoth> i just got a 5 button mouse, how can i set it up in ubuntu? and how can i custom configure my buttons to move vwm's etc
[06:50] <lgy> 
[06:50] <varsendaggr> ak    how do i get a program to release my soundcard?
[06:50] <alephant> ``telinit 6''
[06:50] <varsendaggr> i want it back right now
[06:51] <aSt3raL> im trying to install the network controller
[06:51] <feet> have you tried killing the program varsendaggr
[06:51] <aSt3raL> so i can control xmms over a wireless network
[06:51] <HyperHacker> lgy, few IRC clients support Japanese
[06:51] <varsendaggr> jsut a sec  i closed it
[06:51] <HyperHacker> Chatzilla does :-)
[06:51] <feet> make sure your apps dont use OSS, varsendaggr, or if they do, run them thru aoss :)
[06:52] <varsendaggr> ok sound works with some progrmas but not others
[06:52] <varsendaggr> how do i tell what firefox uses
[06:52] <varsendaggr> or the flash player for firefox
[06:52] <feet> alsa i think
[06:52] <feet> flash uses oss
[06:52] <feet> apparently
[06:52] <varsendaggr> ahhh    how do i change that or do you know
[06:53] <feet> i run firefox thru aoss
[06:53] <varsendaggr> how do you do that?
[06:53] <varsendaggr> yippee
[06:53] <feet> you need a package called alsa-tools i think
[06:54] <feet> then from a terminal, type aoss firefox. easiest to just change your launchers..
[06:54] <thybo> hello;)
[06:54] <StoneNote> lgy, 
[06:54] <thybo> i have an ATI Mobility Radeon 16MB
[06:54] <aSt3raL> configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables
[06:54] <brendon> Madpilot: added myself hehe
[06:54] <aSt3raL> anyone know what that means?
[06:55] <thybo> are the ati drivers of any help for better performance?
[06:55] <feet> fglrx or something is best i think
[06:55] <varsendaggr> cool
[06:55] <aSt3raL> has anyone seen that error?  im trying to run ./configure
[06:55] <thybo> even for such a small card?
[06:55] <Melinda> thybo, edit your xorg.conf and use "radeon"
[06:55] <Madpilot> brendon, can I make some simple edits to your user page, to show you how some of the markup works?
[06:55] <feet> ahh yeh radeon too
[06:55] <Melinda> feet, No they will not work for his particular card.
[06:55] <thybo> ok
[06:55] <feet> yeh i realised
[06:55] <brendon> yip go for it
[06:55] <varsendaggr> feet,   i want to get ubuntu studio working have you had any experience with that?
[06:56] <thybo> so i should use the radeon driver?
[06:56] <feet> yeh
[06:56] <varsendaggr> cool
[06:56] <feet> ubuntu studio is in the repos, should be able to work
[06:56] <Melinda> thybo, yes
[06:56] <thybo> thank you melinda tu eres muy amable:)
[06:56] <varsendaggr> feet   the issue is getting it configured correctly
[06:56] <feet> it should be in the repositories
[06:57] <feet> oh
[06:57] <thybo> what is the command to get to the X conf?
[06:57] <Melinda> Thybo, and if tat does not work - then use simply "ati", but radeon should give you the best performance.
[06:57] <feet> why, whats wrong with it
[06:57] <brendon> madpilot, let me know when your done so i can check it out
[06:57] <feet> sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:57] <zorba64> aSt3raL, have you build-essential installed?
[06:57] <Madpilot> brendon, OK
[06:57] <aSt3raL> lemme check
[06:57] <varsendaggr> feet, just a sec
[06:57] <JoseStefan> feet, should use gksudo
[06:57] <feet> if you want to
[06:58] <feet> ya, proly
[06:58] <feet> i dont
[06:58] <thybo> thanks feet:)
[06:58] <Melinda> test*
[06:58] <aSt3raL> nope it wasnt
[06:58] <mbb> who would be the appropriate person to contact to suggest a slight change to the web page about fixing the 21 August update problem?
[06:58] <feet> sudo works just as well as gksudo for graphical apps
[06:58] <kingrayray> hey.. is there anywhere i can get rxvt-unicode 7.6 or higher for ubuntu? i'd rather not compile it myself.. anybody know?
[06:59] <Elo> Anyone have any experience getting sound working? Here's my output of lspci: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21753
[06:59] <varsendaggr> feet,    just getting all of the programs to talk to the jack server and play nice   is a hasstle
[06:59] <Madpilot> brendon, if you want some pointers via PM, please register & ID so I can PM you
[06:59] <Melinda> feet, no it can result in system instability
[06:59] <zorba64> aSt3raL, ok install it and have another go
[06:59] <Melinda> Always use gksudo or gksu - for graphical apps.
[06:59] <Melinda> you can mess up permissions by using sudo for gui apps.
[06:59] <aSt3raL> zorba64: thanks
[06:59] <feet> oh alright, never done anything bad for me
[06:59] <feet> anyway
[06:59] <brendon> pm?
[06:59] <feet> youve got jackd installed i spose varsendaggr
[07:00] <Melinda> Not yet that is feet  ;D
[07:00] <feet> and qtjackctl ?
[07:00] <Abnix> is there a non-graphical ubuntu installer available?
[07:00] <feet> yes
[07:00] <feet> the alternative cd
[07:00] <thybo> in Xorg.conf i replace ati with radeon right?
[07:00] <feet> yep
[07:00] <Melinda> thybo,  yes
[07:01] <thybo> than reboot?:p
[07:01] <Madpilot> brendon, private message. You need to be registered w/ Freenode to do it
[07:01] <feet> no
[07:01] <feet> restart X
[07:01] <aSt3raL> bah
[07:01] <feet> ctrl+alt+backspace
[07:01] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell brendon about register
[07:01] <Melinda> thybo,  no you never need to reboot -ctrl-alt-bacspace
[07:01] <aSt3raL> now im getting configure: error: Could not find xmms-config. XMMS must be installed.
[07:01] <varsendaggr> yeah i am getting xrun of at least 2.73  msecs   ad infintum   and ti think that is bad
[07:01] <aSt3raL> and i have xmms it is running now
[07:01] <feet> have you checked the ubuntustudio website varsendaggr ?
[07:01] <Melinda> aSt3raL, is XMMS open?
[07:01] <aSt3raL> yes
[07:01] <brendon> madpilot going there now
[07:02] <Melinda> aSt3raL, Close it
[07:02] <keegan_> Hi Everyone! I just installed IE with Wine .9.5 on 6.06 Dapper.  It loads up and I can go to websites, but I cannot get my ActiveX to work.  Anyone know how to fix this?
[07:02] <aSt3raL> same error
[07:02] <thybo> uhu
[07:02] <Melinda> keegan_, Active X will not work on Linux - and why install IE?
[07:02] <cvp> lufis: Okay, I downloaded and installed everything I possibly could off that site, and totem is still telling me I don't have the right plugins to play DVD's.
[07:02] <Melinda> aSt3raL, Are you sure you have all libs?
[07:03] <aSt3raL> what libs?
[07:03] <aSt3raL> im trying to install a plugin
[07:03] <Elo> Anyone have any experience getting sound working? Here's my output of lspci: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21753 I've google'd it, tried the solution I saw there and they didn't work. heh
[07:03] <feet> did you stick the plugin in the right place?
[07:03] <gfxstyler|bored> is there a way to get cairo 1.2.2 without using edgy?
[07:03] <Melinda> aSt3raL, indeed well you are eithe rin the wrong place - or you are missing libs of some sort.
[07:03] <varsendaggr> feet, hey thanks for your help tonight   i am going to sleep
[07:03] <feet> ok good night
[07:04] <zorba64> aSt3raL, try installing xmms-dev
[07:04] <Melinda> zorba64, yeah.
[07:04] <StoneNote> Elo, my sound was not working at one point,  it was recommended I try "chmod 666 /dev/dsp" and that worked for me. but ymmv
[07:04] <cvp> EasyUbuntu, Google, and the RestrictedFormats Wiki page have all failed me - none of my media players (VLC, totem-gstreamer, gxine, mplayer) will play a DVD for me.
[07:04] <aSt3raL> zorba64: ok
[07:04] <feet> thats odd cvp :S
[07:04] <clocks> Hey guys, I have been editing my iptables rules and am now trying to save them to a file.  However, whenever I execute "sudo iptables-save > /etc/iptables.rules" I get a permission denied error
[07:04] <clocks> Anyone have any ideas why this might be happening?
[07:04] <HyperHacker> cvp, does the disc play in anything else? or did you try another disc?
[07:05] <Melinda> clocks sudo -H -s and chmod the file.
[07:05] <gfxstyler> okay another question: does anyone use code::blocks?
[07:05] <cvp> uhhh... whoah, now my dvd drive refuses to open... scary...
[07:05] <keegan_> Does anyone know a way of installing Flash and the goodies on IE with Wine without using ActiveX?
[07:05] <Melinda> clocks you should sudo to edit and save the file though, chmod'ing iptables probably is not a good idea..
[07:06] <brendonjt> madpilot  i have resistered my nick
[07:06] <Melinda> cvp - /media/whatever eject
[07:06] <noiesmo> keegan_, I installed firefox for windows with wine then went to metacafe.com and installed plugin that way worked fine
[07:06] <clocks> Melinda: so do I need to "touch" the file first?  I haven't used sudo in a very long time.
[07:06] <brendonjt> i am using bitchx as my irc client
[07:06] <feet> sudo eject, ya
[07:06] <keegan_> Thanks noiesmo
[07:06] <cvp> yeah, okay...
[07:06] <Melinda> clocks, indeed simply sudo and edit the file as root/sudo
[07:07] <Warbo> Does anyone know of a mass image converter which can turn thousands of Targa images into PNGs?
[07:07] <cvp> Alright, I'm attempting a different DVD.
[07:07] <thybo> why does red alert 2 lag so much under linux?
[07:07] <clocks> Melinda: Thanks :)
[07:07] <noiesmo> keegan_, did you get ie to install with wine?
[07:07] <keegan_> Yeah I did..
[07:07] <thybo> with wine?
[07:07] <cvp> Hey, guess what... totem crashed! Yay!
[07:07] <feet> if you install ie, always good to do it with ies4linux
[07:07] <brendonjt> ok how we do that
[07:07] <Melinda> thybo, Because WINE is an emulation of windows ;)
[07:07] <thybo> apt-get install VLX
[07:07] <thybo> VLC
[07:07] <thybo> so its slower?
[07:07] <thybo> normal?
[07:07] <Warbo> thybo: Is that under WINE? WINE is a layer between the operating system and the program, and middlemen always make things cost more (in this case CPU)
[07:07] <cmiller> Do I need to have a primary partition for an external hard drive holding only files or can I just format it as a whole?
[07:07] <feet> cvp has VLC i think
[07:07] <Melinda> thybo, Yeah usually unless you have an uber fast PC :)
[07:07] <CompEngStu> HELP!!  I have a wireless network, and for testing purposes I disabled my wep key on my router.  Now my neighbor is "stealing" internet from me.  I want to screw with them before I enable the security key again.  Is there a way from ubuntu to send a pop up message to their windows machine with whatever i want it to say??
[07:07] <cvp> More "inappropriate plugins" nonsense. Lemme try VLC real quick, again.
[07:08] <thybo> yes but my computer is powerfull compared to the game
[07:08] <Madpilot> brendonjt, /msg Madpilot some message - in the window that should have opened when I pm'd you
[07:08] <Melinda> thybo, Slow down on wine in games is common it is emulation.. so you can expect that to happen
[07:08] <CompEngStu> I do know their IP address obviously!
[07:08] <Melinda> The same logic as PS2 emulators going slow compared to actual PS2 consoles ;)
[07:08] <thybo> ok
[07:08] <HyperHacker> CompEngStu, you could route all traffic on port 80 to your computer and host a nasty web page there
[07:08] <feet> what about psone emulators being faster than psone consoles
[07:09] <thybo> so 3d emulation wont do anythin better?
[07:09] <HyperHacker> or just go tell them to get off your network ;-)
[07:09] <brendonjt> umm no windows opened i am using bitchx(in terminal)
[07:09] <JoseStefan> Warbo, irfanview can mass-convert, dont know if there is a port
[07:09] <Melinda> thybo, reducing your load may improve it - close all "windows" before running your wine games - should help a little bit
[07:09] <StoneNote> keegan_, http://patrick.spacesurfer.com/ie_wine_install.html
[07:09] <cvp> Er... I've been typing in "dvd:///cdrom" every time I've wanted to play my DVD (because that's where the DVD drive mounts whatever's in it, and I've been getting a result which I will promply post on pastebin.
[07:09] <Warbo> WINE offers limited 3D as far as I am aware. Cedega CVS gives better 3D, and full Cedega gives 3D and copy-protection-craking
[07:09] <feet> you could install fluxbox and run games from that... nice and lite
[07:09] <thybo> only had konversation gim and winefile running along with wifi managers
[07:10] <Warbo> JoseStefan: OK, just that my hard drive is filling as we speak...
[07:10] <Melinda> thybo, Not if it's 3d emulation made for windows no - however the slowdown will not be as noticed for linux specific apps - HOWEVER the radeon driver for Linux is slower then it's windows counterpart. - flgrx is quicker but only supports recent cards.
[07:10] <JoseStefan> some games provide linux ports, most idSoftware games do
[07:11] <thybo> all the games using the doom 3 engine do
[07:11] <thybo> ok melinda thanks:)
[07:11] <Warbo> radeon offers ONLY 3D acceleration, sadly it relies on Mesa for alpha/compositing
[07:11] <Melinda> Nvidia seems to be the better choice for linux....
[07:11] <WarOfAttrition> I see no advantages to ati
[07:11] <Warbo> Melinda: I like to be Free Software, since I don't play anything which requires much power
[07:12] <WarOfAttrition> even the windows driver is inferior to nvidia
[07:12] <cvp> When I try to play a DVD in VLC, I get the following in the terminal: http://pastebin.com/776998
[07:12] <Melinda> Well for windows I do - Nvidia is horrible in windows compared to Radeons, but that is simply my opinion :)
[07:12] <thybo> " failed, status c0000135" and i get this error running a voip software in wine
[07:12] <WarOfAttrition> yeah, nvidias are horrible, so many options in the driver
[07:12] <thybo> any idea of the solutions?
[07:13] <keegan_> Is there any way I could get a video player for Firefox on Wine?  I tried Quicktime and it just makes my screen turn all black
[07:13] <thybo> ?:p
[07:14] <Warbo> On Linux: Nvidia's control panel has "digital vibrance" (basically the colour saturation), whilst fglrx's control panel lets me change the colour balance of everything and have a completely blue screen. Seems ATI wins where it really matters
[07:14] <Melinda> thybo, Wine cannot run everything ;) - it is probably complaining about a device driver or port it cannot open - and it probably cannot run under wine
[07:14] <WarOfAttrition> yeah, having a blue screen is essential
[07:14] <noiesmo> keegan_, there's mozilla-mplayer plugin that handles most video using firefox on linux
[07:14] <cvp> When I try to play a DVD in VLC, I get the following in the terminal: http://pastebin.com/776998. What the hell is happening?
[07:14] <WarOfAttrition> I mean sure, I could wait until my monitor goes to heck, but why wait
[07:14] <thybo>  " failed, status c0000135"  i get this error running a voip software in wine is there any solution to it?
[07:15] <Melinda> WarOfAttrition, :))
[07:15] <noiesmo> keegan_, mozilla-mplayer - MPlayer-Plugin for Mozilla
[07:15] <Warbo> I have to check on my disk space, and see how many more thousands of images have been created. Hang on...
[07:15] <keegan_> I have the mplayer for linux, but is there for for firefox on windowS?
[07:15] <Melinda> thybo, Probably not - however is your voip software listed in the wine db? - I doubt it will run in Linux/WINE
[07:15] <Generic> What's the command to mount an external floppy drive?
[07:15] <Warbo> 80% and rising
[07:15] <Melinda> thybo, You should fine a Linux specific voip replacement
[07:15] <Melinda> find*
[07:15] <thybo> yes
[07:15] <thybo> but this one
[07:16] <thybo> enables me to calling landlines for free :)
[07:16] <trpr> Generic: something like mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy .. but the mount command can take a lot of options
[07:16] <thybo> so
[07:16] <thybo> i'd like to stick with it
[07:16] <Warbo> Free? If it needs Widnows, and Windows costs 100.........
[07:16] <Melinda> Generic, mount /mnt/fd0
[07:16] <thybo> lol
[07:16] <Warbo> *Windows
[07:16] <trpr> Generic: nvm. you said external. the device is not going to be /dev/fd0
[07:16] <thybo> yeah but u know how windows of cd fall down of the internet..
[07:16] <thybo> cds of windows sorry:p
[07:17] <Generic> trpr, is there a naming convention to external usb devices?
[07:17] <HyperHacker> lmao
[07:17] <trpr> Generic: you might try /dev/sda sdb etc.. my usb drives / flash shows up like that
[07:17] <thybo> lool
[07:17] <Melinda> trpr, True excuse me I have had a little to drink this evening :P
[07:18] <Warbo> Gah! I just wrote a long reply to Generic, but GAIM thought it was a command since it started with /
[07:18] <cvp> Ugh. Fuck this. I'm gonna go watch it old school on a DVD Player and TV. I just thought Ubuntu wouldn't be a bitch about it for some reason.
[07:18] <Melinda> cvp :))
[07:18] <Generic> bah
[07:18] <HyperHacker> Warbo, hit up and down, it might come back
[07:18] <Generic> the filesystem is usually vfat, right?
[07:18] <Melinda> old school?
[07:19] <Warbo> nope, GAIM seems to be rubbish :)
[07:19] <Generic> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda,
[07:19] <Melinda> I prefer watching tv .. compared to little 17-19 inch monitors :P
[07:19] <WarOfAttrition> cvp, just as well, it looks better that way
[07:19] <trpr> Melinda: yeah, i did the same thing. told him to mount fd0 before reading it a second time
[07:19] <HyperHacker> hah, my TV is 13 inches
[07:19] <Warbo> Generic: usually. Unless you like to p*ss people off by plugging ext3 into a Windows machine, then ranting about lack of support :)
[07:19] <HyperHacker> makes my 19-inch monitor awesome
[07:19] <Melinda> HyperHacker, lol
[07:19] <Warbo> Generic: Mount the partition, not the drive
[07:19] <aSt3raL> ok i installed the inetcontrol plugin for xmms but now i cant login to it
[07:20] <aSt3raL> anyone set it up before?
[07:20] <Warbo>  /dev/sda=drive 1, /dev/sda1=partition 1
[07:20] <WarOfAttrition> cvp you should try xine, that worked for me
[07:20] <Generic> bah, this is irritating
[07:20] <cvp> WarOfAttrition: let me giv you what xine says, then...
[07:20] <WarOfAttrition> but even if your PC is really fast, unless you're running at 60hz, DVD video will be jumpy
[07:20] <Melinda> Have you seen MacOS lately? - they are touting "mutliple desktops" as a new "innovation" lol
[07:20] <Generic> when i plug in the ext floppy, it shows up in storage devices
[07:20] <Generic> but when i insert a floppy, it dissapears
[07:20] <Warbo> I had trouble playing a DVD the other day. Totem garbled the intro and menu, whilst Ogle crashed after the 20th Century Fox logo
[07:21] <Generic> when i try to open the drive, it has an error when mounting, saying that /dev/sdb is not in fstab
[07:21] <coder_> 
[07:21] <coder_> Join Date: Aug 2006
[07:21] <coder_> Oops
[07:21] <Warbo> 60Hz? I have 2GHz....
[07:21] <cvp> My attempt to play a DVD with gxine was met with: http://pastebin.com/777008.
[07:21] <PyroManiak> networkmanager "jittery" on for anyone else?
[07:21] <coder_> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=244480 - Anyone know how to solve this? :S
[07:21] <WarOfAttrition> Warbo, I mean the screen refresh rate
[07:22] <WarOfAttrition> like dvd runs at, ntsc that is
[07:22] <coder_> I've been trying for 2 days non stop! MUST SLEEP!
[07:22] <HyperHacker> lol, 60hz CPU
[07:22] <Melinda> coder_, Non stop?
[07:22] <Melinda> coder_, wow....
[07:22] <aSt3raL> anyone use inetcontrol for xmms before?
[07:22] <coder_> Well, almost ;)
[07:22] <coder_> I need VST under linux :P
[07:22] <Warbo> It's not always that obvious. Earthworm Jim 2 detected my friends PC as 20Hz, and closed saying "This can't be right, so I must have gone wrong. Exiting"
[07:22] <coder_> Ubuntu 64bit is the best 64-bit distro I've used so far
[07:23] <WarOfAttrition> no kind of linux player handles smoothing at higher refresh rates quite yet
[07:23] <WarOfAttrition> *of DVD video
[07:23] <Melinda> Ubuntu is the best distro period ;D
[07:23] <brendonjt> hey melinda  i agree
[07:23] <cvp> Melinda: Then why is it being so bitchy about a simple DVD? Attempt with gxine: http://pastebin.com/777008
[07:23] <Relisxc> *cough*
[07:23] <Melinda> It's the first Linux i've kept, and possibly will make me move from FreeBSD
[07:24] <coder_> I've been a long time SuSE user, but 10.1 64 bit SUCKED
[07:24] <thybo> when is the wep key for freebsd gonna arrive on ubuntu?:p
[07:24] <Melinda> cvp, I could not say - I do not watch dvd's on my computer .. I always watch them "old-school" as you said :P
[07:24] <WarOfAttrition> 64 bit sucks period
[07:24] <Generic> bah
[07:24] <thybo> wep key cracker in seconds:p
[07:24] <Warbo> OK, how would I convert 6709 images into PNG format, if they are named "something-####" (#=a number)?
[07:24] <trpr> Generic: from the error message, it sounds like the device is /dev/sdb.. mount /dev/sdb1 /some/directory ..complains?
[07:24] <Generic> i should have a floppy somewhere
[07:24] <HyperHacker> cvp, because Linux is free software while DVDs are made by big greedy companies who hate open-source ;-)
[07:24] <NullVector> hows it going everyone?
[07:24] <cvp> Melinda: So in other words, Ubuntu doesn't have any problems when you don't use it?
[07:24] <Elo> Anyone have any experience getting sound working? Here's my output of lspci: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21753 I've google'd it, tried the solution I saw there and they didn't work. heh
[07:24] <HyperHacker> hence encryption and region coding
[07:24] <JoseStefan> Warbo, see if irfanview has a linux port
[07:24] <thybo> buy  pirated dvds
[07:25] <Melinda> cvp No I use it for a lot of things - but not movies really
[07:25] <HyperHacker> pff
[07:25] <HyperHacker> if you're going to pirate, just download them
[07:25] <coder_> Warbo: Irfanview runs under WINE nicely
[07:25] <coder_> (If it doesn't have a Linux port)
[07:25] <Generic> trpr,  /dev/sdb1 doesn't exist
[07:25] <Warbo> JoseStefan: OK I'll google it. Just thought that Imagemagick or something might do it
[07:25] <Melinda> I don't use Linux for media .. I have a stereo and television for that type of stuff
[07:25] <Generic> it just changes to something else when i insert a floppy to the ext drive
[07:25] <NullVector> anyone know why my numeric pad on my keyboard would stop working?
[07:25] <nonickname> okay.. i have a computer with no cd-rom or floppy drive.. but it does have a network card, and the bios has a network boot option.. any suggestions? also, my install disc doesnt seem to have an "/install/netboot" directory
[07:25] <thybo> :d
[07:25] <cvp> Okay, here's another question. I JUST used some program to make an image of a DVD. I have the second DVD in now... how did I make that image? I kinda forgot...
[07:25] <azathoth> anyone here using cgwd? i just upgraded to the latest version and it's starting to require glibc 2.4... i see it's in the edgy repo, is there any way to install it without upgrading to edgy?
[07:25] <HyperHacker> NullVector, check Num Lock and Scroll Lock
[07:25] <wweasel> Melinda: I use my HTPC for media. It's hooked up to my TV :P
[07:26] <Melinda> wweasel, haha
[07:26] <cvp> Actually...
[07:26] <NullVector> numlock is on, scroll lock isn't working for me
[07:26] <WarOfAttrition> who knows, I only just played some DVDs to see if it could. I can barely watch most movies more than once, nevermind copying them
[07:26] <Warbo> Cool it does ILBM, something sadly lacking in the GIMP
[07:26] <Generic> oh well
[07:26] <cvp> If I can't watch these DVD's, is there a way to copy them? I'm borrowing them from a friend.
[07:26] <wweasel> is the problem region encoding? Cause you can just rip them.
[07:26] <Generic> i've got a spare floppy drive
[07:26] <Melinda> Does anyone here use the Opera browser?
[07:27] <wweasel> cvp: Look up DVD ripping. But I am sure you can get DVDs to work.
[07:27] <wweasel> cvp: Have you tried VLC?
[07:27] <Warbo> !info thoggen
[07:27] <ubotu> thoggen: DVD backup utility based on GStreamer and Gtk+. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4.2-0ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 142 kB, installed size 632 kB
[07:27] <thybo> me
[07:27] <thybo> but with windows :p
[07:27] <thybo> whats up with opera melinda?
[07:27] <Melinda> I inserted a DVD just now, works fine in VLC for me
[07:27] <cmiller> should the one partition for my external hard drive be primary or extended?
[07:27] <Melinda> thybo, Well I wanted to know if Opera removed its "chat" function ?
[07:27] <wweasel> Melinda, cvp: Yeah, VLC is the swiss army knife of media players.
[07:27] <Madpilot> Melinda, I use Opera
[07:28] <thybo> hah duno
[07:28] <thybo> ill chck
[07:28] <coder_> Nobody's done anything with FreeVST or knows what's wrong here? http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=244480
[07:28] <Madpilot> Melinda, no, it's still there - should be, anyway
[07:28] <cvp> wweasel: Yeah, here's VLC for ya: http://pastebin.com/776998
[07:28] <Melinda> wweasel, Except for WMV3.. I have heard totem can play WMV3 but meh
[07:28] <NullVector> HyperHacker: any ideas other than numlock and scroll lock?
[07:28] <Warbo> Totem can play WMV9.....
[07:28] <HyperHacker> fraid not
[07:28] <cvp> wweasel: If you want to help me rip a DVD, I would more than appreciate it...
[07:28] <Melinda> Madpilot, Really cause I can see it ---- but for some reason I cannot check it..
[07:28] <WarOfAttrition> I wish it would boycott it, WMVanything stinks
[07:28] <thybo> whats latest wine version of ubuntu?
[07:29] <cvp> wweasel: Is there any point in doing that "copy disc" stuff that Ubuntu offers? I'm saving them as images, and they're all along the lines of 7.5 GB.
[07:29] <Madpilot> Melinda, I used to use it, before I switched to XChat. Check Opera's help, they have a pretty good section on their Chat/IRC part
[07:29] <Melinda> WMV does stink - but then again some videos are only in WMV and .. well that sucks.
[07:29] <HyperHacker> ugh, yes
[07:29] <WarOfAttrition> people need to stop using movie maker in windows xp
[07:29] <wweasel> cvp: I would, but I only know how to rip them in Windows. Someone here must know how to rip DVDs in Linux
[07:29] <HyperHacker> before Youtube every video I ever found posted online was WMV... drove me nuts
[07:30] <nonickname> should i just ask again?
[07:30] <wweasel> cvp: Is your PC dual booted?
[07:30] <NullVector> ///***---+++
[07:30] <HyperHacker> I don't get how people can use movie maker... always crashes for me
[07:30] <WarOfAttrition> all I know is that mencoder can make xvid avis in linux
[07:30] <Melinda> Madpilot, Yeah you were right about XCHAT it is nice, even with its perverted dependancies. (libsexy2) hahaha
[07:30] <Warbo> That image converter doesn't like my WINE :(
[07:30] <wweasel> Melinda: X-Chat is wonderful
[07:30] <cvp> wweasel: Yeah, but I haven't begun to set up the Winblows partition yet. I have a quaint little 20 GB partition for Win2k Pro.
[07:30] <Lilandra> yes! i love xchat too
[07:30] <Warbo> I make Xvid with mencoder all the time for my Neuros 442 player
[07:30] <Lilandra> is there xchat for windows?
[07:31] <Melinda> Lilandra, Yeah
[07:31] <wweasel> Lilandra: Yes
[07:31] <Melinda> I think
[07:31] <Lilandra> ooo! nice :)
[07:31] <Melinda> yes then
[07:31] <Melinda> :P
[07:31] <Lilandra> if i used it i guess
[07:31] <WarOfAttrition> xchat is nice it just needs a tasktray icon like konversation
[07:31] <wweasel> cvp: uhhhh...I don't know what to tell you. I've been using ubuntu for a few months now but have done nothing with dvds. I download all I need.
[07:31] <cvp> wweasel: That is, I have Win2k Pro installed now, but not even my internet connection is set up there yet. Heh, and I remember the days of 640x480 at 16 colors...
[07:31] <DeMoNSeEd> Lilandra, xchat2 silverex
[07:32] <Melinda> Anyone know any tricks to speed up bittornado downloads?
[07:37] <WarOfAttrition> prayer?
 okay.. i have a computer with no cd-rom or floppy drive.. but it does have a network card, and the bios has a network boot option.. any suggestions? also, my install disc doesnt seem to have an "/install/netboot" directory
[07:37] <HyperHacker> wait
[07:37] <thybo> external cd drive?
[07:37] <Melinda> nonickname, Buy a cdrom drive :P c'mon guy they are like 15$
[07:37] <nonickname> lol
[07:37] <nonickname> shh
[07:37] <wweasel> cvp: If you don't feel you can troubleshoot DVD playback in Linux tonight, as much as I hate to say it, I know sometimes Winblows can be useful. You can download VLC for windows and just run it there.
[07:37] <HyperHacker> bittorrent tends to be fastest around the middle of the download, once you have plenty of peers and you're not looking for hard-to-find pieces
[07:37] <thybo> or buy a cd reader? cost like 1( bucks
[07:37] <thybo> lol
[07:37] <Warbo> Anyone knwo an image converter which works in Linux?
[07:37] <Warbo> (for mass/batch conversion)
[07:37] <z3r0> hi all
[07:37] <coder_> Somehow I doubt I will get anyone to solve me problem... meh
[07:37] <nonickname> i have 3 unused cd drives sitting in my room
[07:37] <cvp> Alright, I'm gonna just go watch these on a TV. Thanks for trying, guys.
[07:37] <z3r0> anyone know a way to remove kde and all its packages
[07:37] <z3r0> instead of selecting one by one
[07:37] <HyperHacker> Warbo, I think ImageMagick is available for Linux
[07:37] <nonickname> ones a cdr, ones a regular cd, and ones a dvd
[07:37] <wweasel> well, he should have done that in the first place :P
[07:37] <thybo> than what nonickname?
[07:37] <Lilandra> i use debfoster and the prune option or something
[07:37] <nonickname> it's a bit of a unique computer
[07:37] <Warbo> HyperHacker: How would it handle 6000 files? Would I have to write ascript for it?
[07:37] <thybo> lol

[07:37] <nonickname> hmm
[07:37] <DarkElf109> Anyone in here have a knowledge of bibtex and latex that borders on close intimacy?
[07:37] <Melinda> nonickname, Ubuntu will not install on a commodore 64 ;D

[07:37] <HyperHacker> I'm not sure, I only ever used it for one file at a time
[07:37] <nonickname> haha
[07:37] <Melinda> Or maybe it will :D
[07:37] <Melinda> lol
[07:37] <StoneNote> nonickname, got a usb stick and can it boot from usb?
[07:37] <nonickname> no stick
[07:37] <Lilandra> darkelf109: no :(
[07:37] <Lilandra> i wish
[07:37] <Warbo> Linux needs an FPU, and I don't think Commodore64 has one
[07:37] <Warbo> ucLinux doesn't need an FPU, so I think that would run
[07:37] <Melinda> Hrmm, USBUNTU <-- That would be a great project ***attention hackers***
[07:37] <nonickname> it does support network booting, AND it's already connected to the router i'm using now..
[07:37] <CooL---PenguiN> someone pls help me or im going to kill myself live on cam
[07:37] <DarkElf109> Lilandra: All I want to do is change the output of a single command from the year of publication to the pages used...I just don't feel like going through the style file switching out every instance of 'year' with 'pages' until it looks right =P
[07:37] <Sarra_> ooh, can I watch?

[07:37] <Flannel> wweasel: how did you install it?
[07:37] <Warbo> Flannel: I don't know that much about it, only that it can run a pretty cool webserver
[07:37] <nonickname> seriously, i wanna try a netboot lol
[07:37] <wweasel> Flannel: Compiling from source. But it doesn't follow conventions.
[07:37] <DarkElf109> Lilandra: I just started this stuff a few hours ago...I like the head-first approach
[07:37] <Flannel> nonickname: You read the wiki pages?
[07:37] <nonickname> yea
[07:37] <DarkElf109> Lilandra: Plus, I'd like to use this for school essays...shame they insist on MLA
[07:37] <nonickname> my isntall cd has no netboot folder

[07:37] <Lilandra> for assignments
[07:37] <Lilandra> DarkElf109: MLA?
[07:37] <Flannel> wweasel: ah, you'll have to just track down all the files ;)  or try to use the makefile to remove it (if the makefile has that ability)
[07:37] <wweasel> Flannel: It doesn't do ./configure, make, make install.... it has two scripts, build.sh and install.sh - http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=199367

[07:42] <Lilandra> darkelf109: well i would try to understand better what you're saying except that i'm recovering my system..and i did lots of lovely things to force it to rollback a version of dapper!
[07:42] <CooL---PenguiN> flannel can u help me pls
[07:42] <vook> CooL---PenguiN, no, and mirc is client
[07:42] <CooL---PenguiN> no1 in here have same problem
[07:42] <Flannel> CooL---PenguiN: no, I have no idea how to do anything with compiz.  It's not in ubuntu, this is the wrong place to ask.
[07:42] <rast4> I just upgraded my kernel and when booting off the new 686 image I get "Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:06. Any ideas?
[07:42] <DarkElf109> Lilandra: Ouch. Phun stuph.
[07:42] <nonickname> christ, dont you people answer
[07:42] <Lilandra> :)
[07:42] <CooL---PenguiN> yeah but u should have compiz
[07:42] <_priest> DarkElf109: make sure /initrd is there and that menu.lst is pointing to the correct device
[07:42] <CooL---PenguiN> like haveing a ferrari with a toyota engine inside
[07:42] <HyperHacker> nonickname, no
[07:43] <vook> a windows client no less
[07:43] <CooL---PenguiN> compiz is the future
[07:43] <z3r0> has anyone made proxychains work with tor
[07:43] <_priest> CooL---PenguiN: compiz is a waste of resources
[07:43] <nonickname> gg
[07:43] <Melinda> Compiz/XGL = Eye Candy, I thought KDE was bad when it came to EC.. but wow
[07:43] <CooL---PenguiN> nah i got 300gb im all good with 4 gig ram
[07:43] <_priest> fvwm-crystal ftw
[07:43] <nonickname> i'ma go back to bothering the kubuntu people =(
[07:43] <Warbo> CooL---PenguiN: Compiz is broken, usually needs non-Free drivers to run, and the modules break Xorg
[07:43] <CooL---PenguiN> 2xgforce 6800 ultras i need compiz its my destiny
[07:44] <CooL---PenguiN> i got compiz working fine
[07:44] <Melinda> _priest, TOP shows how much mem/cpu for fvwm crystal?
[07:44] <CooL---PenguiN> jus cant get constrain working
[07:44] <nonickname> !fvwm
[07:44] <CooL---PenguiN> as in my windows wont drag bellow bottom panel
[07:44] <ubotu> fvwm: F(?) Virtual Window Manager, version 2.5. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:2.5.14-6 (dapper), package size 2913 kB, installed size 6448 kB
[07:44] <CooL---PenguiN> other then that its fine
[07:44] <_priest> Melinda: its a customization of fvwm
[07:44] <Melinda> Hmm, is there any pink/light purple themes for XFCE that anyone here may have seen/known about?
[07:45] <StoneNote> z3r0, nope. I just have tor working.  but I saw something about it. I found the url but cannot say if it works http://www.gotroot.com/tiki-print.php?page=Anonymous%20Bittorrent%20with%20TOR
[07:45] <Warbo> CooL---PenguiN: Compiz doesn't offer any basic window manager functionality, so I don't think wobbling windows will make me want to use it again
[07:45] <Melinda> _Priest, I am aware of what it is - I was asking what does TOP report for cpu and mem usage?
[07:45] <jordanau> i just installed slackware on a second partition, (ubuntu is primary) how do i add it to grub?
[07:45] <nonickname> !pxelinux.0
[07:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pxelinux.0 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[07:45] <Flannel> wweasel: looks like you're going to have to manually delete/track down everything then
[07:45] <z3r0> cheers i'll check it out
[07:45] <Melinda> _priest, Have you ever done a top on it?
[07:45] <StoneNote> good luck
[07:45] <nonickname> !px
[07:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about px - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:46] <wweasel> Flannel: This makes me unhappy.
[07:46] <Hyperonic> jordanau, you can edit the Grub menu by typing "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.list" and editing that file.
[07:46] <_priest> Melinda: yes but its an insignficant amount
[07:46] <Hyperonic> Other than that, there isn't much I can say.
[07:46] <wweasel> Flannel: How do you suggest I do that
[07:46] <Hyperonic> It's pretty easy to figure out.
[07:46] <Melinda> Fluxbox for instance says its "low resources" and that is not exactly true.. - when you run a top, you will notice that while flux's use is low - XORG goes WAYYYY up when you use it as compared to XFCE or even KDE for that matter.
[07:46] <nonickname> !
[07:46] <vik> is there any perforamce hit using LVM vs normal partitioning?
[07:46] <Flannel> Hyperonic, jordanau, gksudo gedit, and it's menu.lst no i.
[07:46] <Melinda> I want a pink xfce theme :(
[07:46] <Hyperonic> Oops
[07:46] <Hyperonic> I'm sorry.
[07:46] <Hyperonic> Typo.
[07:46] <Hyperonic> What's the difference between gksudo and sudo?
[07:47] <Flannel> Hyperonic: it's an easy one to make
[07:47] <Hyperonic> Both seem to work.
[07:47] <WarOfAttrition> Melinda, you could always just edit an existing theme's color
[07:47] <Flannel> Hyperonic: gksudo is better for graphical programs, it won't cause permission problems later on
[07:47] <Warbo> gksudo doesn't screw up preferences by making them owned by root
[07:47] <jordanau> thanks
[07:47] <skys123> rast4: a google search suggests that grub.conf may have to be edited to reflect the kernel properly...
[07:47] <Melinda> WarOfAttrition, yes I could do that :D
[07:47] <Hyperonic> Ah, ok. Thanks.
[07:47] <Lilandra> hi all thansk and i shall return..:)
[07:47] <WarOfAttrition> that's what I did when I couldn't find the color I wanted
[07:47] <rast4> skys123: ok thanks, it's a start.
[07:48] <Flannel> wweasel: no idea.  Timestamps could help.  Run build again, and see what's in the temp directory, sicne the install one just copies from that.
[07:48] <nonickname> !0day
[07:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about 0day - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:48] <skys123> rast4: I had to do a similar frikin thing on a cenos box a while ago...and boot into rescue mode to edit the the grub.conf file under /boot
[07:48] <jordanau> okay, nautilus says my slackware install is not mountable, any sugesttions?
[07:48] <HyperHacker> !anything
[07:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about anything - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:49] <StoneNote> wweasel, you mean this truecrypt? http://www.truecrypt.org/
[07:49] <rast4> skys123: what was the basic problem with the grub.conf, like what had to be edited in a nutshell
[07:49] <skys123> rast4: assuming you can boot into another kernel...you could likely see and potentially edit that file..and try again...
[07:49] <rast4> skys123: I can boot into the 386 ok
[07:49] <nonickname> !ubuntu?
[07:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu? - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:49] <johnnybezak> what s/w do you guys use for file sharing?
[07:49] <Flannel> !tell nonickname about botabuse
[07:49] <HyperHacker> lol
[07:49] <Melinda> WarOfAttrition, Nice - Good advice man :)
[07:49] <HyperHacker> one more
[07:50] <HyperHacker> !!
[07:50] <nonickname> sorry
[07:50] <skys123> rast4: if you f* up that file though you're screwed out of booting into the machine...and will have to edit via rescue mode
[07:50] <wweasel> StoneNote: Yep, that one exactly
[07:50] <rast4> skys123: yeah
[07:50] <skys123> rast4: Id make a copy of that file before continuing...
[07:50] <rast4> skys123: i'm on it ;)
[07:51] <Melinda> The only thing I am missing on Ubuntu/Linux is a good audio editor, that allows for "mix pasting" such as sound forge or cool edit :s
[07:51] <skys123> rast4: well it might be "where" the boot loader thinks its loading from...on cent i had to be explicit about the root(hd0,0) other wise it blew up..
[07:51] <Melinda> Maybe I should just buy a second machine for my music..
[07:51] <skys123> one sec
[07:51] <wweasel> Melinda: You've tried Audacity?
[07:51] <Flannel> Melinda: Audacity not do that?
[07:51] <Melinda> wweasel, Yes, no "mixpasting"
[07:52] <Melinda> You can paste, but not overlap/mix paste
[07:52] <rast4> skys123: gotcha
[07:52] <WarOfAttrition> you could always play two wavs and record them together
[07:52] <wweasel> Melinda: Can any windows programs be run stably under wine?
[07:53] <Melinda> wweasel, Not really.. cool edit does not work after 96 I think and thats before they had "overlap pasting" and soundforge forget it..
[07:53] <Warbo> If "file filename" says "Targa image", then what type should I tell mplayer that "filename" is? ("targa" doesn't work)
[07:53] <skys123> rast4: explicitally the men.list Id do a nice search on it...i think the centos topic of bootloader on google will shed some light as well...
[07:53] <Melinda> I have written sony though to port Soundforge to Linux as a binary - I do not care about the source, simply give me the program :P
[07:54] <wweasel> Melinda: Cool Edit was bought out by Adobe...what about Adobe's version of cool edit (I don't know what they called it)
[07:54] <rast4> skys123: great. thanks a ton.
[07:54] <nonickname> ah. i have a good question. the netboot installation that i'm reading refers to a '/install/netboot/pxelinux.0' on the installation cd. what would be the easiest way to get this without having an installation cd, per se?
[07:54] <skys123> rast4: its menu.list ...my bad... in /boot/grub
[07:54] <BluR> how do I check what eversion something is in a repository without apt-get installing it first?
[07:54] <nilu> I compiled a new Kernel 2.6.12.6 to be used with XEN,   when the kernel I compiled boots, I get a error saying that the other ext3 partitions  cannot be mounted,    when I go to the /dev/ folder I dont have  any of the Hard Disk devices there.  What might be the cause of this.. How can I fix it :(
[07:54] <rast4> skys123: yeah I got ya
[07:54] <rast4> :P
[07:54] <Melinda> wweasel, Yeah "audition" - but it does not work under WINE the only cool edit that runs ok is 96, and it does not work well enough even in windows for making songs lacks mix pasting and a host of other features that 2000 has
[07:54] <Warbo> BluR: Type in here "!info packagename"
[07:55] <Warbo> !info gnome-terminal
[07:55] <ubotu> gnome-terminal: The GNOME 2 terminal emulator application. In component main, is optional. Version 2.14.2-0ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 165 kB, installed size 396 kB
[07:55] <skys123> rast4: good luck...Id like to know what you come up with....never really had to deal with it in ubuntu...but the fix itself is interesting...let me know..
[07:55] <Warbo> !info gnome-terminal edgy
[07:55] <BluR> !info pen
[07:55] <ubotu> gnome-terminal: The GNOME 2 terminal emulator application. In component main, is optional. Version 2.15.4-0ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 169 kB, installed size 396 kB
[07:55] <ubotu> pen: Load balancer for "simple" tcp based protocols. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.15.0-1 (dapper), package size 48 kB, installed size 184 kB
[07:55] <rast4> skys123: will do, thanks again.
[07:55] <Flannel> Melinda: you check out ubuntu studio?
[07:55] <skys123> yep
[07:56] <Flannel> BluR: check the versions on the package, or at packages.ubuntu.com (or whatever program/front end)
[07:56] <Melinda> I tryed "ardour" which was supposed to be the ultimate linux audio editor with a very nice gui - yet it depends on  JACKD and even reading the manual I cannot figure out how to change the default sample rate from 48000 to 41000
[07:56] <skys123> !georgebush
[07:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about georgebush - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:56] <Melinda> Flannel, No what is that?
[07:56] <skys123> lol
[07:56] <BluR> ty Warbo
[07:56] <Warbo> np
[07:56] <skys123> one thing is for certain...both dont know much..
[07:56] <Flannel> Melinda: http://ubuntustudio.com
[07:56] <z3r0> anyone here networked a virtual windows with ubutnu
[07:56] <Melinda> ok
[07:57] <Melinda> oooo
[07:57] <Melinda> Let me check this out :D
[07:57] <skys123> z3r0: in what capacity....like vmware to linux under smb??
[07:57] <z3r0> yes
[07:57] <crimsun> Melinda: you can use qjackctl to do that, or pass -r 48000 to jackd.
[07:57] <z3r0> sky: thats rite
[07:57] <nilu> What is the package I have to install to get "convert" to  make  SplashImages?
[07:57] <crimsun> Melinda: err, sorry, -l 44100
[07:57] <crimsun> gah
[07:57] <crimsun> -l 44100
[07:58] <z3r0> at present im only able to mount the virtual folder
[07:58] <nonickname> ahh.. gawd
[07:58] <skys123> Z3r0: well youll need to kick up smb-server on the linux side and then configure to pull from windows or use smb-client to go the opposite way
[07:58] <Melinda> crimsun,  indeed works for jackd - but does not refelect changes to Ardour ...
[07:58] <skys123> Z3r0: shouldnt be an issue.... but are you trying to do this from the host system to the VM?
[07:59] <Melinda> Anyways time to read this wiki - thanks Flannel
[07:59] <skys123> z3rO: or two seperate boxes..
[07:59] <z3r0> from host to vm yes
[07:59] <Melinda> Night' you sexy Ubuntu boys :P
[07:59] <qazqaz70> hello
[07:59] <qazqaz70> i want help
[07:59] <wweasel> g'night Melinda
[07:59] <z3r0> think i'll read some more on smb before hand
[07:59] <z3r0> neva used samba
[08:00] <Flannel> qazqaz70: we can't answer non-existant questions
[08:00] <skys123> Z3r0: I thought...and i could be wrong...during the install on say a linux box with a windows VM, it will ask "so you want the host to be able to speak to vms"..if you chose NO then i dont think it will work..
[08:00] <qazqaz70> how can i install software like this klear-0.5.0
[08:00] <johnnybezak> any of you guys tried thunar the xfce file manager. i reckon it's nicer than nautilus. it's schlick
[08:00] <qazqaz70> ??
[08:00] <Hyperonic> I can't get sound to work for ABUSE or games for ZSNES.
[08:00] <johnnybezak> qazqaz70: where did you get it from
[08:01] <Hyperonic> Even when I run as root, it doesn't work.
[08:01] <qazqaz70> from some site
[08:01] <skys123> Z3r0: but the easiest way to do this... A) install smbserver... then from windows try a telnet or usea port scanner to check to see if the samba port is open...
[08:01] <johnnybezak> Hyperonic: mb the emulator is using the wrong sound engine
[08:01] <qazqaz70> from some site
[08:01] <OmegaNine> Is it safe to update Xorg-core yet?
[08:01] <Flannel> qazqaz70: can you get it in a deb? or rpm? or just from source?
[08:01] <Hyperonic> johnnybezak: Abuse does the same thing, though and I don't see any real audio options. And, how do I configured the sound engine in ZSNES?
[08:02] <skys123> z3r0: the darn wiki was down...but in there or ubuntu docs, there is a nice article on setting up samba server. :)
[08:02] <qazqaz70> i think this sours
[08:02] <z3r0> yeh jus checking it out now
[08:02] <z3r0> thx for the repl
[08:02] <z3r0> reply
[08:02] <skys123> no problem
[08:02] <Warbo> AA! I get "Argument list too long" when trying to turn my 6000 images into an AVI
[08:02] <Flannel> qazqaz70: if you only have source, you'll need to compile it.  There's a really wonderful guide on compiling on the wiki, but the wiki is down.
[08:02] <skys123> it is pretty interesting stuff.
[08:03] <skys123> z3r0: the smb.conf is pretty descriptive in and of its self... so go there first
[08:03] <Warbo> maybe I can specify the input with a text file...
[08:03] <wweasel> Yeah, but the wiki has a nice explanation. But it's down :(
[08:03] <skys123> z3r0: then youll need to create an smbuser to use..
[08:04] <skys123> wiki --- man we need it back up!!!
[08:04] <Hyperonic> Does anyone know why sounds in ZSNES do not work? Even when run as root?
[08:04] <qazqaz70> i want to know first step please
[08:05] <WarOfAttrition> Hyperonic, it seems to work for me...
[08:05] <WarOfAttrition> what kind of soundcard to you have?
[08:05] <Hyperonic> I have onboard sound. It's an NVIDIA chipset.
[08:05] <Flannel> qazqaz70: you'll need to install build-essential, then get any dependencies that it needs
[08:05] <Geoffrey2> can anyone tell me how to make the Windows version of Flash 9 (installed under Wine), work with the Ubuntu version of Firefox?
[08:05] <Hyperonic> Sound works elsewhere perfectly.
[08:05] <skys123> anyone on here...get the XEN instances and XEN in general working well?
[08:05] <qazqaz70> ok how to install
[08:06] <qazqaz70> how to install build
[08:06] <Hyperonic> :-/
[08:06] <Flannel> qazqaz70: ./configure then make install - usually
[08:06] <qazqaz70> i will see now
[08:06] <Madpilot> Geoffrey2, you'd have to install Windows Firefox thru Wine to get Flash9 working
[08:06] <WarOfAttrition> what are you using, OSS or ALSA?
[08:06] <Warbo> How can I get "ls /folder1/folder2/folder3" to output the contents of folder3 as "/folder1/folder2/folder3/file1" instead of just "file1"?
[08:07] <trygg> Heh, what could i use to manage active programs if not gnome-applet? :D
[08:07] <Hyperonic> WarOfAttrition: I believe ALSA. But, how do I check?
[08:07] <trygg> I would like skippy but i cant use it for some reason.
[08:07] <skys123> qazqaz70: this assumes you have build-essential installed...and any make, gcc stuff it needs to compile...other wise sh*t breaks..
[08:08] <qazqaz70> ok
[08:08] <WarOfAttrition> I'm not sure but zsnes uses oss
[08:08] <qazqaz70> othe thing
[08:08] <Flannel> skys123: you realise that build-essential installs both make and gcc, right?
[08:08] <skys123> yep
[08:08] <qazqaz70> how can i extract winrar file
[08:08] <qazqaz70> ?
[08:08] <Warbo> !rar
[08:08] <ubotu> rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[08:09] <skys123> Flannel: I was wondering "how" was going about it...some peeps dont know about build-essential..and do it the "hard" way..lol
[08:09] <Warbo> How can I get absolute paths into my ls output?
[08:09] <Lard-O-Lad> is there some easy way to install the GTK source?
[08:09] <Flannel> skys123: right, I had already told him about it
[08:09] <skys123> Flannel: dont remember but does that come with kernel-headers and source too? or??
[08:09] <Warbo> Lard-O-Lad: "sudo apt-get build-dep nautilus" or something else GTK should get most of the -dev files
[08:09] <Flannel> skys123: no, just the programs to compile programs
[08:09] <Geoffrey2> Madpilot, oh, wonderful.....well, since an increasing number of sites require at least Flash 8, and since Adobe shows no signs of releasing a new Flash for Linux any time this century..I guess I either install the Windows Firefox version or just not see any Flash content
[08:10] <skys123> Flannel: good enough...I had forgotten that..
[08:10] <Flannel> Lard-O-Lad: yeah, apt-get can grab source too.  Just get the package you want
[08:10] <crdw> Hello! When i installed Ubuntu i had to choose booting with safe grafics. Can someone say how to boot with normal grafics with a portuguese keyboard?
[08:10] <Madpilot> Geoffrey2, flash is mostly overrated anyway
[08:10] <Flannel> Geoffrey2: flash8 will not be released for linux, 9 will be.
[08:10] <Lard-O-Lad> Warbo, Flannel: thanks
[08:11] <Warbo> I like Flash. Gnash is a ctually VERY good, except for streaming sound (it doesn't play FLV but MPlayer does)
[08:11] <nmsa> hello/j #xen
[08:11] <Geoffrey2> Flannel, supposedly....at some undetermined future time....
[08:11] <Warbo> I never tried Gnash with accelerated X drivers before today, but was pretty amazed at the speed (and I make REALLY complex Flash animations)
[08:12] <qazqaz70> when i try write ./configur
[08:12] <Geoffrey2> Flannel, I just get the distinct impression this is not very high on Adobe's priority list
[08:12] <kairu0> anyone recommend an openoffice base alternative?
[08:12] <skys123> Warbo: cool...will haveto give it a whirl..
[08:12] <qazqaz70> it give me nosuch file or diroctry
[08:12] <Flannel> kairu0: mysql?  postgresql?
[08:12] <Flannel> qazqaz70: you might want to check their documention on how to build it then
[08:12] <kairu0> Flannel, as in a GUI frontend
[08:12] <Lilandra> Hi all...can anybody help me with dpkg errors?
[08:12] <Hyperonic> Has anyone ever had sound problems with ZSNES?
[08:13] <WarOfAttrition> flash is fun but pointless
[08:13] <Flannel> kairu0: Mysql has a administrator that does the whole GUI thing.  Not sure about the others.
[08:13] <nonickname> if my internet was half functional, i'd get it and try it, hyperonic
[08:13] <Hyperonic> Thank you, anyway. :-)
[08:13] <kairu0> Flannel, does it do relations and forms?
[08:13] <Warbo> WarOfAttrition: On the contrary, I don't know of any other usable vector animation format (SVG is not usable, even in Opera)
[08:13] <Flannel> kairu0: no idea.  Check their website
[08:13] <nonickname> my browser is stuck on everything i try =/
[08:13] <WarOfAttrition> kairu0, staroffice?
[08:14] <skys123> is it true that mysql doesnt have referential integrity or is that bs..
[08:14] <fuoco> does dapper being LTS actually means it will have kernel 2.6.15 for the next 3 years ?
[08:14] <qazqaz70> please help
[08:14] <Flannel> kairu0: you might also try asking in #mysql
[08:14] <OmegaNine> SO no one knows if its OK to update Xorg-Core?
[08:14] <qazqaz70> juest want see a file for ./configur
[08:15] <Warbo> fuoco: I think so, but it may get newer kernels if security vulnerabilities are found (the -23 kernel should still be supported until the end though)
[08:15] <skys123> OmegaNine: did you do an update or something??
[08:15] <Lard-O-Lad> OmegaNine: If you are talking about that wierd no screens found bug, yea its ok to update
[08:15] <Flannel> fuoco: right.
[08:15] <Madpilot> OmegaNine, if you're talking about the nasty X bug tht bit earlier in the week, that's been fixed, it should be safe to update X now
[08:15] <fuoco> hmm, thanks
[08:16] <skys123> yep...it fixed my problem...
[08:16] <OmegaNine> Cool, yeah thats what I was looking for.  I updated before and it bit me :(  Thanks guys!
[08:17] <Warbo> Please does anyone know how to make the output of ls use full paths? (so "/folder/folder/file" rather than just "file")
[08:17] <nonickname> well, i got zsnesw downloaded.. now to figure out how to get everything i need to compile :o
[08:17] <qazqaz70> please just i want how to do ./configur and next step
[08:17] <Warbo> qazqaz70: There is an e at the end of configure
[08:18] <qazqaz70> how can i make ./configur
[08:18] <Warbo> "./configure"
[08:18] <Lard-O-Lad> :)
[08:18] <qazqaz70> when i did its give me no such file or directory
[08:18] <Warbo> sometimes (but very rarely) there is a "./autogen.sh"
[08:18] <StoneNote> I use onions and garlic and serve with a side of fava beans
[08:19] <Warbo> qazqaz70: "ls" will tell you what is there
[08:19] <qazqaz70> its give me this
[08:19] <qazqaz70> qazqaz70@ubuntu:~/Desktop/mythtv-0.19$ ls
[08:19] <qazqaz70> AUTHORS      contrib   FAQ       libs        settings.pro  version.pro

[08:20] <Warbo> !paste > qazqaz70
[08:20] <WarOfAttrition> in zsnes case it's autogen.sh
[08:20] <Madpilot> qazqaz70, pastebin next time!
[08:20] <nonickname> !paste > nonickname
[08:20] <Warbo> qazqaz70: i SAID "./configure" ^ it is right there!
[08:20] <qazqaz70> then how to use
[08:20] <nonickname> i just did sudo sh ./configure and it got through after installing libdevel and nasm
[08:20] <Warbo> qazqaz70: "./configure"
[08:21] <qazqaz70> i did like that but give me no such file
[08:21] <qazqaz70> can u write full for me with dir
[08:21] <skys123> Warbo: I was thining maybe mc is better suited for showing full paths?? hmmm..interesting...could find the flag for ls..though..
[08:22] <qazqaz70> please
[08:23] <WarOfAttrition> you should use the wip version for zsnes at iphersite
[08:23] <Warbo> skys123: I need to give a load of files into a program, but the argument list is too long so I am trying to use a text file consisting of paths instead, but "ls /folder/folder/folder > file" gives relative paths
[08:23] <WarOfAttrition> although snes9x is better or would be if it had opengl support
[08:23] <skys123> qazqaz70: you got the right instructions from Warbro. The configure file is executable...do ./configure in the directory where that file is ..
[08:24] <Warbo> qazqaz70: I have written it for you loads. You are writig "./configur" byut if you look, there is no such file. That is because there is no such word in the English language. The file name is "configure", so run "./configure" which is NOT what you are currently doing
[08:24] <Lard-O-Lad> qazqaz70: gedit README ?  or if there is an INSTALL, gedit INSTALL ?
[08:24] <skys123> Warbo: so you are scripting....yes?.....what does the script do if you dont mind explaining...
[08:25] <vlt> Hello. Yestersday I burnt an Audio-CD(RW) with k3b 0.12.14 (ubuntu 6.06) and an HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-H10A JL02 (/dev/hdd). Now I want to erase and reuse the disk but I get en error message: "Found Media: CD-ROM, please insert writable ...". Wtf does this mean?
[08:25] <nonickname> hyperonic, you still there?
[08:25] <skys123> qazqz70: if you do a ./co and then hit tab it will autocomplete for you...that way you cant f it up..
[08:26] <Hyperonic> Oops.
[08:26] <Hyperonic> Yeah.
[08:26] <Hyperonic> I'm still here.
[08:26] <Hyperonic> Why? Anything exciting happen? >_>
[08:26] <Warbo> skys123: Just two shell lines: "ls /Breezy/home/pyvnc2swf/ | grep "png" > file" and "./animmaker --list file"
[08:26] <nonickname> what was your question about the zsnes sound?
[08:26] <Hyperonic> I don't get any sound with ZSNES or Abuse (another game)
[08:26] <nonickname> ah
[08:26] <Hyperonic> I get sound elsewhere, though.
[08:26] <Hyperonic> And, successfully.
[08:26] <WarOfAttrition> nonickname, if there are no errors, type make and pray
[08:26] <WarOfAttrition> just 'make'
[08:27] <Warbo> hang on, I have an idea
[08:27] <ardchoille> I need x11 development files.. but I don't see x11-dev anywhere in my repos. Am I looking for the wrong thing?
[08:27] <nonickname> huh??
[08:27] <clever> if my system has a unkown bootloader which chainloads XP
[08:27] <clever> and i install ubuntu on there replacing the current boot loader
[08:27] <clever> will ubuntu setup grub to chainload XP?
[08:27] <Warbo> Nope, argument list too long
[08:27] <skys123> Warbo: dont know if this will help but after the pyvnc part add a wild card of *  after the slash?
[08:27] <dmj2012> hello
[08:28] <Lard-O-Lad> Warbo,is there a flag on find that will do what you want?
[08:28] <Warbo> skys123: I just tried that, but ls says argument list too long
[08:28] <dmj2012> I'm looking for a little help with an ubuntu live cd
[08:28] <nonickname> well, it's looking like you aren't getting any sound with sdl apps
[08:28] <qazqaz70> it give me this
[08:28] <qazqaz70> config/      configfiles/ configure    contrib/
[08:28] <Warbo> Lard-O-Lad: I honestly have absolutely no idea how to use find
[08:28] <OmegaNine> !xgl
[08:28] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[08:28] <nonickname> stating the obvious, but, what to do about it..
[08:28] <skys123> qazqaz70: see the file configure?? now do a ./configure
[08:28] <Lard-O-Lad> Warbo: its a little confusing, but I assure you its a VERY powerful tool
[08:29] <American-Tech> Ok I am a newbie so please be kind :)
[08:29] <Warbo> Lard-O-Lad: They all end in png, so I assume I could search for that? (or would it get an "argument list too long" like everything else?)
[08:29] <OmegaNine> Anyone got an updated URL for a XGL install howto?
[08:29] <Lard-O-Lad> Warbo: find -iname *.png
[08:29] <nonickname> hyperonic: what sound driver are you using?
[08:29] <dmj2012> I'm on an ubuntu live disc, but none of my hard drives are detected. my friend thinks it might be because they are ntfs formatted and suggested asking for help here. is it possible to mount an ntfs disc using an ubuntu live cd?
[08:29] <StoneNote> American-Tech, you'll be fine. Here, let me hold your wallet for you. :D
[08:29] <Hyperonic> Yes, nonickname, that seems to be it.
[08:29] <bridgeyma1> hey I am really new to Linux (my first hour actually), can someone help me set up my dual monitors?  I have one video adapter embedded in my motherboard and one regular video card.  Ubuntu is currently only displaying on the monitor connected to the video card
[08:30] <Em3rald> OmegaNine have you looked thru the ubuntuforums?  There is a good one there that I used a while ago.
[08:30] <skys123> Lard-0-Lad: so suggesting a find /path/ -name "blah" > file ??
[08:30] <Warbo> I'm going to try moving the exectuable into the folder of pictures....
[08:30] <skys123> something like that??
[08:30] <OmegaNine> Em3rald,  There are a few of them, thought maybe there was an offical chan one.
[08:30] <ergo> anyone have experience in running japanese programs using wine ?
[08:30] <ergo> i am stumped
[08:30] <ergo> :(
[08:30] <American-Tech> How do I install ubuntu on my computer. I been running the live CD and now want to install it on the computer
[08:30] <Lard-O-Lad> skys123: not sure exaclty what the syntax is
[08:30] <Lard-O-Lad> skys123: it might need some flag :/
[08:31] <Em3rald> OmegaNine, well, it depends on which video card you have.  Nvidia or ATI
[08:31] <ojk007> hey sorry to barge in but i have grub 1.5 and i cannot change the config its under the boot folder, i figure i need root access but how can i get root acces to edit the mene.lst file?
[08:31] <StoneNote> bridgeyma1, I have a motherboard like that. in the bios you can set it as auto. integrated graphics, agp or both. you only get both if you set it to both.  yours might work the same.
[08:31] <skys123> one sec...might be able to do something like that..
[08:31] <dmj2012> this is the error I get: error: device /dev/hda5 is not removable
[08:31] <dmj2012> error: could not execute pmount
[08:31] <Madpilot> American-Tech, there should be a big icon on your LiveCD desktop that says "Install"
[08:31] <OmegaNine> ergo, Your a step ahead of me, i remember trying to get it to run office years ago.  Yikes!
[08:31] <irvin> can anyone confirm if wiki.ubuntu.com and help.ubuntu.com is down?
[08:31] <OmegaNine> Em3rald, ATI on a lappy
[08:31] <Warbo> Aha! It seems to be working...
[08:31] <B4zzA> hi
[08:31] <wolfmanz> anyone here using TeamSpeak with ubuntu?
[08:31] <Madpilot> irvin, yeah, they seem to be :|
[08:31] <Warbo> irvin: help.ubuntu.com is down for me
[08:31] <ojk007> wiki.ubuntu.com and help.ubuntu.com i think they are
[08:31] <Em3rald> OmegaNine ... hmm, well that would be a different one than the one I used.  If I remember correctly you have to use AIGLX.
[08:31] <American-Tech> doh..
[08:31] <B4zzA> how can you get everything to use a proxy? (excluding apt)
[08:32] <B4zzA> like wget
[08:32] <StoneNote> iratsu, down for me too
[08:32] <OmegaNine> Em3rald, Ill google around for it.  thanks
[08:32] <StoneNote> irvin, down for me too
[08:32] <Em3rald> OmegaNine, no problem.  I'll have a look to see if I find the one I saw before that people were raving about ...
[08:32] <nonickname> hyperonic: have you figured it out?
[08:32] <OmegaNine> Em3rald, Thanks, that would be great.
[08:33] <bridgeyma1> is there like a program I can run that will help me set up dual monitors?
[08:33] <bridgeyma1> some preferences to edit somewhere maybe?
[08:33] <dmj2012> anyone?
[08:33] <Hyperonic> nonickname: I am working on it. I'm googling "no sound" and "sdl".
[08:33] <irvin> !ops
[08:33] <ubotu> Help! lilo, Keybuk, mdz, Amaranth, tritium, ajmitch, crimsun, ogra, CarlK, Seveas, Burgundavia, apokryphos, thoreauputic, nalioth, Madpilot, ompaul, rob, Hobbsee, imbrandon, DBO or gnomefreak!
[08:33] <nonickname> ah
[08:33] <skys123> Warbo: try something like this --- find /home/bartsimpson/  | grep lisa.pdf > list.txt
[08:33] <nalioth> irvin: yes?
[08:34] <Madpilot> irvin, ?
[08:34] <Warbo> dmj2012: You want to remove an internal drive?
[08:34] <ergo> i got this error when i tiried to run a jap game "The game can only be executed in japanese code page" ...what does it mean ?
[08:34] <nalioth> irvin: was there a reason you rang the fire bell?
[08:34] <Hyperonic> nonickname: I'm finding _a_lot_ of FreeBSD stuff. >_>
[08:34] <imbrandon> irvin: ?
[08:34] <shadeofgrey> hey everybody
[08:34] <Warbo> skys123: I think it's working thanks. I moved the executable into the same folder as the images, so the relative paths work
[08:34] <nonickname> hyperonic: what audio driver do you use?
[08:34] <irvin> oh you already confirmed it Madpilot.... nalioth wiki.u.c is down
[08:34] <dmj2012> I just want to access the hard drives. when I try to mount them I get an error. right now all I can see is the CD and DVD drives and no hard discs
[08:35] <nonickname> i'm not sure if that's the correct term.. also, oss
[08:35] <shadeofgrey> can someone please explin to mer what the difference is between xubuntu and the other two versions?  kubuntu and regular ubuntu
[08:35] <imbrandon> irvin: sorry we have nothing to do with the website
[08:35] <skys123> Lard-O-Lad: this should do it too-  find /home/bartsimpson/  | grep lisa.pdf > list.txt  ( i tried it and it works...pretty good)
[08:35] <imbrandon> thanks nalioth
[08:35] <Madpilot> shadeofgrey, Ubuntu uses Gnome for the desktop; Kubuntu uses KDE; Xubuntu uses XFCE.
[08:35] <Em3rald> OmegaNine, try this one:  http://www.compiz.net/viewtopic.php?id=389 ... it looks like the one that others had recommended.
[08:35] <shadeofgrey> furthermore is there anyone here thats REALLY good with dealing with grub issues that i could speak with directly i have a vey unique situation
[08:35] <Hyperonic> nonickname: I'm not sure. How do I find out?
[08:35] <nonickname> i'm trying to figure that out now :p
[08:35] <kairu0> anyone else have a broken compiz due to recent updates?
[08:36] <ergo> anyone using bittorent software here?
[08:36] <skys123> Warbo: any how the script with find...works bitchin...with full paths :)
[08:36] <HyperHacker> ergo, I'm using Azureus right now, but in Windows :-p
[08:36] <kairu0> ergo, azureus
[08:36] <StoneNote> shadeofgrey, the windows managers are different. gnome vs kde.  in my experience loading kde onto ubuntu gives you a better base than loading gnome on kubuntu if you are planning on installing both.
[08:36] <Lard-O-Lad> skys123: sounds good, if you get some free time look into the -exec command for find its really cool.
[08:36] <OmegaNine> Em3rald, I think is the one i was using...I kept getting errors saying there was a lib missing that I couldnt find.  But I will poke around more.  Thanks, been a big help
[08:36] <ergo> anyone recommendations for ubuntu ?
[08:36] <Em3rald> OmegaNine:  no problem my friend :D  Good luck!
[08:37] <HyperHacker> Azureus if you have a fast CPU and a lot of RAM
[08:37] <Madpilot> ergo, Ubuntu's built-in BT stuff works fine
[08:37] <skys123> Lard-O-Lad: will do..along with sed and awk... :)
[08:37] <ergo> how do i errr use that ?
[08:37] <aSt3raL_> hey
[08:37] <StoneNote> ergo, I like bittornado
[08:37] <zeronenorez> hey all, how to find chat history in Konversation?
[08:37] <skys123> The grub issue...can you explain a little more about what is up??
[08:37] <aSt3raL_> what do i need to do to be able to login remotely?
[08:37] <Em3rald> Azureus is great, but it's a mem hog if you leave it running for awhile.  Also, sometimes the interface "disappears" and you have to killall java and restart it to get the GUI again.
[08:37] <Madpilot> ergo, click on a .torrent in Firefox, it should start gnome-torrent automatically
[08:37] <Lard-O-Lad> wine +  utorrent is what i use, and it works great!
[08:38] <Em3rald> Madpilot, is there a way to do that with Opera too?
[08:38] <kairu0> Lard-O-Lad, have you gotten that to work with firefox?
[08:38] <shadeofgrey> Madpilot; or StoneNote do either of you have the time patience and understanding to help me out of a pretty serious jam im in?
[08:38] <Madpilot> Em3rald, to bypass Opera 9's built-in BT client? just right-click on the torrent, choose save as, then find it in Nautilus & double click on it
[08:38] <nonickname> wth.. is the help down now too?
[08:38] <shadeofgrey> i need very intricate guidance concerning the current state of my grub installation(s)
[08:38] <ergo> how much download speed can u get Lard-oLad ?
[08:39] <Em3rald> Madpilot, yeah, I do that already ... thought there might be a better way.
[08:39] <Madpilot> shadeofgrey, grub's never broken for me, so I know very little about it
[08:39] <shadeofgrey> okay well
[08:39] <StoneNote> shadeofgrey, I might not have the expertise, but if that's the case I'll asy so.  What's the problem.
[08:39] <aSt3raL_> what do i need to do to be able to login remotely?
[08:39] <Madpilot> Em3rald, not that I know of. Opera doesn't yet have any way of disabling it's own BT client, which is too bda
[08:39] <shadeofgrey> lemme just explain the situation and hope to gfod somebody here knows what to do
[08:39] <OmegaNine> OK tell me if this sounds wierd.  I apt-get install compiz-plugins, and get "Need compiz-core"  when I apt-get install compiz-core its tells me I need the puglins.  any ideas?  Should I just -f it?
[08:39] <skys123> okay..go for it..
[08:39] <aSt3raL_> i want to set it up so that i can telnet into a command prompt
[08:39] <Em3rald> Madpilot:  Thanks :D
[08:40] <Flannel> aSt3raL_: install openssh-server
[08:40] <Flannel> aSt3raL_: you don't want telnet, you want ssh.
[08:40] <aSt3raL_> ssh ok
[08:40] <Em3rald> OmegaNine, just for kicks, does aptitude install work better than apt-get?
[08:40] <aSt3raL_> what port is it?
[08:40] <Flannel> aSt3raL_: 22 by default
[08:40] <aSt3raL_> 23?
[08:40] <aSt3raL_> ok
[08:40] <aSt3raL_> thanks
[08:40] <OmegaNine> Em3rald, One sec I will look
[08:40] <StoneNote> shadeofgrey, if it is complex maybe you write it up in a text editor and put it into pastebin. it will be more cohernet and will be there even if Madpilot or I cannot be of help
[08:40] <skys123> shadeofgrey: explain the issue..
[08:40] <shadeofgrey> i have three harddrives - a primary - a storage drive (where i keep all my crap) and a tertiary drive that i use for testing new vers. of ubuntu or other distributions though ive never had the heart to install anything that wasnt ubuntu because i tried fedora core 4 and it took me a week just to get nvidia support running
[08:41] <OmegaNine> Em3rald, OK that just pisses me off....Installed fine
[08:41] <OmegaNine> :-P
[08:41] <skys123> shadeofgrey: are these "hda" and "hdb" ?
[08:41] <ergo> is ktorrent any good ?
[08:42] <shadeofgrey> theres a copy of grub on primary disk but its being ignored i think.  when i installed kubuntu it went onto my tertiary drive and everybody assured me that it would ask during install if i want grub on the mbr of third disk before installing grub -- but it never did -  so now my computer is set so that the mbr of the third disk holds the copy of grub that really matters
[08:42] <shadeofgrey> so
[08:42] <Em3rald> OmegaNine:  Hahaha!  Well thats good anyway.  I think Aptitude handles dependencies better.  This is what Ayisu says in ubuntuforums
[08:43] <OmegaNine> Em3rald, Never used it, will have to keep it in mind.  I have to shamfully admit I was a yum user till 2 months ago
[08:43] <OmegaNine> Em3rald, Thanks big thoguh!
[08:43] <skys123> shadeofgrey: so let me see if i get this right...the grub loader boots stuff off the third disk instead of the first now??
[08:44] <klees> how can i change the desktop font color and style for the?
[08:44] <klees> in ubuntu
[08:44] <shadeofgrey> no
[08:44] <shadeofgrey> im saying i have grub on two diskjs
[08:45] <shadeofgrey> right now the grub installation on the 3rd disk is what gets booted and then i have to choose from either kubuntu or reg ubuntu on first disk.  whenn i install xubuntu should i juyst let it replace the mbr on the third disk like i did with kubuntu?
[08:45] <qazqaz70> whats meaning this command
[08:45] <_priest> OmegaNine: why shamefully
[08:45] <_priest> nothing wrong with yum
[08:45] <qazqaz70> mkdir -p $(PREFIX)/bin
[08:45] <Hyperonic> I got sound for ZSNES working...
[08:46] <nonickname> ah
[08:46] <nonickname> what'd you do?
[08:46] <Hyperonic> However, it's slow...like...delayed.
[08:46] <qazqaz70> ?
[08:46] <Hyperonic> I installed...
[08:46] <StoneNote> shadeofgrey, this is a new one to me. I'm looking at grun documentation but I can't say I'll be more successful looking at it than you have already been
[08:46] <shadeofgrey> or is there a way to delete grub off third disk, add a line in the grub installation on the 1st disk and make the grub install on 1st disk the primary boot grub
[08:46] <Hyperonic> libsdl1.2debian-alsa
[08:46] <nonickname> ahh
[08:46] <Hyperonic> It removed...
[08:46] <qazqaz70> ?
[08:46] <Hyperonic> esd
[08:46] <_priest> shadeofgrey: grub-install --recheck
[08:47] <Hyperonic> libsdl1.2debian-esd was removed.
[08:47] <Hyperonic> However, sound doesn't work in Abuse, still.
[08:47] <Hyperonic> And, the delay in sound is...well...not good.
[08:47] <nonickname> hmm
[08:47] <Hyperonic> Under root - same result.
[08:47] <nonickname> is there a speaker icon in your taskbar?
[08:47] <shadeofgrey> where can i see screens of xubuntu
[08:48] <shadeofgrey> is it really graphical/
[08:48] <shadeofgrey> ?
[08:48] <_priest> shadeofgrey: osdir.com
[08:48] <Hyperonic> I removed it. But, I'll put it back if it's nessecary (lol spelling). >_>
[08:48] <skys123> shadeofgrey: i would say....that by taking a look at the menu.list... in /boot you can make a legitimate decision...as I think the parameter root(hd0,0) or root(hd3,0) or what ever plays a large part...but that is a good starting point to determine "what" is actually going on..
[08:48] <Em3rald> Shadeofgrey:  It looks much the same as any other desktop environment, just uses less resources.
[08:48] <tainted_> how do i log into x as root
[08:48] <nonickname> i doubt it is..
[08:48] <tainted_> i can't get to the advanced menu options
[08:49] <Hyperonic> I do, too. >_>
[08:49] <Em3rald> tainted_:  Why would you want to do that?  Use sudo gksudo in the command prompt instead, or gksudo nautilus.
[08:49] <ergo> can someone teach me how to install utorrent ?
[08:50] <American-Tech> I Have a dell 24 inch montior will I have issues?
[08:50] <Hyperonic> Would installing different SDL libraries have any effect on my problem?
[08:50] <Em3rald> ergo:  sudo aptitude install wine
[08:50] <ergo> ok
[08:50] <Em3rald> ergo:  then download the zip or exe of utorrent
[08:51] <Healot> different versions of SDL libraries, Hyperonic?
[08:51] <ergo> ok done
[08:51] <Em3rald> ergo:  then just double-click it and it should automatically run.  But it will be a little slow to start with (slow to open the window too)
[08:51] <Hyperonic> @_@
[08:52] <Hyperonic> This is frustrating. I feel so close but so far.
[08:52] <BluR> how do I stop apache2 on a fresh dapper install?  I am doing /etc/init.d/apache2 stop and that seems to work, but ps aux still shows "/usr/sbin/apache2 -k start -DSSL"... how do I really kill apache2?
[08:52] <dfgas_> hi, how do i connect to a  wireless network, i can see it and i know its open
[08:52] <Em3rald> Blur:  not sure why you are stopping apache2 - it is needed for a number of things.
[08:53] <BluR> like what?
[08:53] <BluR> I don't need apache2
[08:53] <dibblego> how do you find out how much disk space a particular directory is using?
[08:53] <ergo> got a error message saying "could not  /Desktop/utorrent.exe" .... :(
[08:53] <Em3rald> BluR:  it's not being used as a webserver in Ubuntu ...
[08:53] <BluR> what is it being used as?
[08:54] <Shan_> I am getting this error when i try to run UT export UT_DATA_PATH=/usr/local/games/ut/System
[08:54] <Em3rald> ergo:  Wierd .... mmm, you could try this:  sudo wine <nameofexefile.exe>
[08:54] <DarthShrine> I just installed Ubuntu on a box. It's connected to my modem via ethernet, and to my switch. It has the ip of 10.1.1.6 of eth0 (to the modem) and 10.1.1.8 for eth1. I can ping 10.1.1.1 (the modem), but not the internet. What is going on? What else needs to be done?
[08:54] <Madpilot> BluR, there is no Apache install on a default Dapper install - when did you install it?
[08:54] <BluR> I didn't install it
[08:54] <BluR> it's a VPS from rimuhosting
[08:54] <evil-tux> gnite all
[08:54] <BluR> it was breezy with a dist-upgrade to dapper
[08:54] <Em3rald> Madpilot:  Yeah, it does come with Ubuntu, I remember watchint it.  It has something to do with a number of internal operations if I remember.
[08:55] <BluR> dpkg --purge apache2 claims that it isn't installed... now i'm confused?
[08:55] <BluR> how can I find out what process is using port 80?
[08:55] <Em3rald> Blur:  You might post on ubuntuforums.org and ask what it's all about.  I don't remember off hand, but I know it;s there for something.
[08:55] <Em3rald> BluR:  Port 80 is your web browser n' stuff.
[08:55] <BluR> I don't have a web browser installed
[08:55] <Madpilot> Em3rald, AFAIK there is no Apahce installed by default - I ran Apache when I ran Dapper, so I know what it looks like on startup - it's not present on Dapper by default, I'm pretty sure
[08:55] <BluR> I'm trying to start the one I just installed
[08:55] <dibblego> a web browser will not use port 80
[08:56] <trygg> How can i change the bootsplash-skin?
[08:56] <BluR>  i know port 80 is normally used for web browsers.  how can I find out what process is using port 80 though, if I haven't started a web server
[08:56] <dibblego> BluR, telnet to localhost 80 and make a GET request then reader the response in the headers
[08:56] <Em3rald> Madpilot:  Well, you may be right about the Apache web server, but there's definitely something Apache-oriented running ........ I just wish I could remember what the heck it was.
[08:56] <dibblego> BluR, a web browser does *not* use port 80 to make its connection
[08:56] <BluR> it's apache2
[08:56] <BluR> apache2 is running on my machine
[08:57] <BluR> maybe my VPS provider installed it...
[08:57] <BluR> either way, how do I stop/uninstall it?
[08:57] <dibblego> BluR, then what are you confused about?
[08:57] <dibblego> sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
[08:57] <nonickname> abuse doesnt seem to have any sound for me either, hyperonic =(
[08:57] <Em3rald> What about using killall in some way?
[08:57] <BluR> that isn't working dibblego
[08:57] <dibblego> BluR, define isn't working
[08:58] <BluR> it says it is stopping
[08:58] <BluR> then it says "done"
[08:58] <nonickname> abuse.sdl, that is
[08:58] <BluR> but it is still responding, port 80 is still being used, and ps aux still reports "/usr/sbin/apache2 -k start -DSSL" as running
[08:58] <BluR> so it most definitely is not stopped
[08:58] <dibblego> BluR, kill it
[08:58] <flodine> can someone help getiing error when rebooting, No reboot fixup found for your hardware
[08:58] <DarthShrine> O_o wtf
[08:59] <BluR> I killed the apache2 process... it still is responding
[08:59] <pibarnas> I've made a deb ubuntu 6.06 package of the new fluxbox-1.0rc2... where can I upload it?
[08:59] <dibblego> BluR, kill -9
[08:59] <aSt3raL> how do i start open ssh?
[08:59] <Hyperonic> Hmmm
[08:59] <BluR> oh wait, a few more procs
[08:59] <DarthShrine> So does anybody know about my networking problem?
[08:59] <dibblego> aSt3raL, sudo /etc/init.d/openssh start
[08:59] <dibblego> BluR, kill the parent
[08:59] <Hyperonic> nonickname: Well, damn. And, I loved that game when I was little and using DOS. :-p
[08:59] <nonickname> Sound : Disabled (couldn't find the sfx directory)
[08:59] <flodine> anyone
[08:59] <BluR> good it's dead
[08:59] <BluR> yay
[09:00] <BluR> how can i stop it from starting back up?
[09:00] <aSt3raL> sudo: /etc/init.d/openssh: command not found
[09:00] <pibarnas> DarthShrine Waht's your problem?
[09:00] <dibblego> BluR, remove it from the rc scripts
[09:00] <BluR> it is probably my VPS provider, emerald?
[09:00] <nonickname> hyperonic: you have the abuse-sfx package?
[09:00] <BluR> rc scripts, dibblego ?
[09:00] <dibblego> aSt3raL, sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start
[09:00] <Em3rald> I don't know.  but I am really perplexed about this now LOL.
[09:00] <Hyperonic> nonickname: I do not.
[09:01] <nonickname> ahh, i just got some sound on it :p
[09:01] <aSt3raL> * Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server...                               [fail] 
[09:01] <Hyperonic> nonickname: O_O
[09:01] <dibblego> BluR, /etc/rc*
[09:01] <DarthShrine> pibarnas, "I just installed Ubuntu on a box. It's connected to my modem via ethernet, and to my switch. It has the ip of 10.1.1.6 of eth0 (to the modem) and 10.1.1.8 for eth1. I can ping 10.1.1.1 (the modem), but not the internet. What is going on? What else needs to be done?"
[09:01] <nonickname> now, how do i blow up that spaceship? lol
[09:01] <Hyperonic> nonickname: <3 u
[09:01] <Hyperonic> :-D
[09:01] <dibblego> aSt3raL, check the logs
[09:01] <BluR> which one?
[09:01] <BluR> oh, is this related to runlevel ?
[09:01] <Hyperonic> nonickname: I don't have a clue. This is different from the original version that I played more than ten years ago. :-p
[09:01] <aSt3raL> which logs?
[09:01] <flodine> is this problem from hardware or software (No reboot fixup found for your hardware)
[09:01] <nonickname> ha
[09:01] <nonickname> ah*
[09:01] <pibarnas> DarthShrine your modem is a router?
[09:02] <dibblego> aSt3raL, how do you know it's not already started? dmesg
[09:02] <BluR> isn't there a way I can uninstall it without editing it out of these rc scripts?
[09:02] <DarthShrine> pibarnas, Yes.
[09:02] <mutk> DarthShrine, When you 'ping the Internet' are you using IP or a name?
[09:02] <BluR> there are a million entries...
[09:02] <dibblego> BluR, sudo apt-get remove apache2
[09:02] <miked> if i wanted to perform a set of terminal commands but double clicking a file
[09:02] <pibarnas> And you give the addresses? Why?
[09:02] <miked> what sort of file do i create?
[09:02] <Em3rald> Well now y'all have me all confused.  I swear Apache2 is being used for something in a standard Ubuntu install but ... grr.
[09:02] <kinema> Is there some sort of minimal install image that I can fit on a usb key that downloads virtually all required files from the net (similar to debian's netinstall images)
[09:02] <BluR> Package apache2 is not installed, so not removed
[09:02] <DarthShrine> pibarnas, So there's no confusion ^_^
[09:02] <Shan_> I am getting this error when i try to run UT export UT_DATA_PATH=/usr/local/games/ut/System
[09:02] <Shan_> erm
[09:03] <BluR> it looks like it is not installed through aptitude...
[09:03] <Agrajag> Em3rald: by default, no internet-facing services are installed in ubuntu
[09:03] <nonickname> hmm.. now about that zsnes..
[09:03] <DarthShrine> mutk, Names resolve.
[09:03] <BluR> how do you remove something that isn't installed through aptitude?
[09:03] <Shan_> I am getting this error when i try to run UT "bash: /usr/local/bin/ut: cannot execute binary file
[09:03] <Shan_> "
[09:03] <aSt3raL> well i cant telnet to localhost
[09:03] <pibarnas> Nope, if router function is enabled by default on modem, it (and your provider) will give u the right address.
[09:03] <dibblego> aSt3raL, I assume you mean on port TCP/22
[09:03] <Hyperonic> Well.
[09:03] <mutk> DarthShrine, Ok, so you can reach a DNS service.. That will be the router/modem I assume?
[09:03] <Hyperonic> ZSNES works.
[09:03] <Hyperonic> But, the sound...delays.
[09:03] <DarthShrine> mutk, Yes.
[09:04] <pibarnas> Try to not give addresses and enable dhcp.
[09:04] <Hyperonic> I'm a prick, so, I'm not satisifed with that.
[09:04] <Hyperonic> :-O
[09:04] <pibarnas> DarthShrine Here I have the same configuration and it works!
[09:04] <DarthShrine> pibarnas, I hardly see what use people are going to have of my private IPs. And DHCP is enabled but I want static for that computer.
[09:04] <nonickname> heh
[09:04] <mutk> DarthShrine, Sounds like the modem is where things stop then.
[09:05] <bhrobinson> can anyone help me out with an install issue?
[09:05] <dibblego> bhrobinson, just ask
[09:05] <DarthShrine> mutk, Prior to this box being set up I had modem -> switch -> other computers and it worked fine.
[09:05] <pibarnas> DarthShrine So it is the problem. DHCP is incompatible with static.
[09:05] <bhrobinson> I am trying to put Ubuntu on an IBM T20 laptop
[09:05] <Hyperonic> Hey nonickname...
[09:05] <nonickname> hi hyperonic
[09:05] <Hyperonic> You have Jabber or AIM?
[09:05] <nonickname> yea
[09:05] <nonickname> pm?
[09:05] <pibarnas> DarthShrine And if your modem is a router...
[09:05] <shadeofgrey> if i install xubuntu can i use my main ubuntu installations sources.list file?
[09:05] <Hyperonic> Whisper it. :-p
[09:06] <pibarnas> DarthShrine Got it?
[09:06] <nonickname> lemme sign on
[09:06] <bhrobinson> the kernel gets to Uncompressing Linux.... Ok, booting the kernel.
[09:06] <bhrobinson> then nothing
[09:06] <miked> is there a way to place terminal commands in a file and invoke them by double clicking a file?
[09:06] <bhrobinson> any ideas?
[09:06] <DarthShrine> pibarnas, Erm, not really. If I have DHCP on the modem but I choose to use a static IP for the computer it should still work.
[09:06] <pibarnas> DarthShrine I'm saying that because I did the same mistake in the past...
[09:06] <dibblego> miked, yes, a shell script
[09:06] <nonickname> did you get it?
[09:06] <Hyperonic> Nope.
[09:07] <Hyperonic> Hmmm
[09:07] <Hyperonic> My AIM name is EDLKenny
[09:07] <nonickname> alright
[09:07] <skys123> bhrobinson: boot loader issues??
[09:07] <bhrobinson> yeah
[09:07] <bhrobinson> I am still trying to boot from the cd
[09:08] <skys123> bhrobinson: hmm...the only thing i can think of is that its having issue with the mbr...and booting..
[09:08] <pibarnas> DarthShrine Have you tryied to do only by DHCP to see if it works?
[09:08] <dibblego> bhrobinson, have you checked the CD for integrity?
[09:08] <bhrobinson> dibblego, tried 2 cds
[09:08] <dibblego> bhrobinson, also, I spent two days trying to get Ubuntu on a IBM PC but gave up
[09:08] <skys123> bhrobinson: but this is off the hdd right? or a cd live session..
[09:09] <bhrobinson> live cd right now
[09:09] <dibblego> IBM are filth
[09:09] <DarthShrine> pibarnas, Just did and still no access to the internet.
[09:09] <bhrobinson> not even to the hd
[09:09] <dibblego> bhrobinson, did you check the integrity of the CD?
[09:09] <bhrobinson> yes
[09:09] <skys123> i would make that judgement..ibm stuff is okay...the t42 an above are great...
[09:09] <bhrobinson> I have done other installs with the cd
[09:09] <skys123> would=wouldnt thatis..
[09:10] <pibarnas> DarthShrine is your net configured to DHCP? Just reboot or restart internet daemon...
[09:10] <dibblego> I worked for IBM for many years - my perspective is biased by knowledge of the truth behind the facade
[09:10] <StoneNote> dibblego, field engineer?
[09:10] <dibblego> bhrobinson, but have you checked the CD for integrity
[09:10] <Rookie-> hmm ... ibm ... getting thoughts like aix ...
[09:10] <bhrobinson> dibblego, yes... several times
[09:10] <dibblego> StoneNote, software developer
[09:10] <bhrobinson> several discs
[09:11] <skys123> dibblego: lol...god enough..
[09:11] <skys123> good enough....
[09:11] <skys123> taht is..
[09:11] <StoneNote> dibblego, cool. OS/2 CICS VTAM VSAM DB/2 Firmware?
[09:11] <bhrobinson> dibblego, done several installs on several systems with this disc
[09:11] <DarthShrine> pibarnas, What do you mean?
[09:11] <dibblego> StoneNote, Tivoli security
[09:11] <dibblego> bhrobinson, that doesn't mean you have checked the CD for integrity
[09:11] <StoneNote> dibblego, good package
[09:12] <dibblego> StoneNote, I wouldn't pay 5 cents for it
[09:12] <skys123> that isnt a bad idea...checking for integrity cant hurt...
[09:12] <StoneNote> lol
[09:12] <dibblego> bhrobinson, check the MD5 of the ISO, then run a CD check from the boot options
[09:12] <Em3rald> Well, I should head to bed folks ... 's been fun.  But my last note - my wife is a singer in a rock band @ http://anxietyofinfluence.ca -- they sound reminiscent of Evanescence.  Go listen, no need to thank me ;) ... chat with ya all later :D
[09:12] <SKD3> whats the name of the ALSA module ?
[09:12] <SKD3> i built it as a module in the kernel
[09:13] <skys123> shameless plugs..lol
[09:13] <SKD3> so now i need to know the name so i can use modprobe
[09:13] <Em3rald> ;)
[09:13] <sagarp> i've been using dapper since flight 7 or so...and ever since then, xchat-gnome segfaults...after that i removed it but when i reinstalled recently it still crashes
[09:13] <Em3rald> I can't help it ... I love my wife :D
[09:13] <bhrobinson> dibblego, not sure you understand.. kernel will not finish expanding... I cannot get to that on this system. If I check it on another machine, there is no problem
[09:14] <dibblego> bhrobinson, did you check the ISO?
[09:14] <Arafangion> Which kernel did Breezy use?
[09:15] <Agrajag> 2.6.12 I think
[09:15] <bhrobinson> dibblego, you obviously think bad media, but if I take disc a from computer b and boot computer a, it works. if I take disc b from computer b into computer a it works.
[09:16] <dibblego> bhrobinson, I don't think it - I suspect it - your conclusion that it works on a and/or b do not in any way prove the integrity of the media
[09:16] <Arafangion> Arafangion: Thanks.
[09:16] <dibblego> bhrobinson, I am prompting you to check integrity in a conclusive way so as to at least rule it out or even find the problem perhaps
[09:17] <bhrobinson> dibblego, maybe I am an idiot, but if the media has already passed data integrity check that I stated 10 minutes ago and it works on multiple machines for complete installs, it seems to be limited to the machine, right?
 Well, The system will try to negotiate with the provider through the modem... When you get logged, probably you will be already on-line... did you use pppoeconf?
[09:17] <bhrobinson> my question is more based does anyone know an issue with the bios, or a place to reference.
[09:18] <dibblego> bhrobinson, sure if you have done that - you seemed to be implying that using it on other machines is somehow a check for integrity
[09:18] <dibblego> bhrobinson, I'd imagine after that it's a problem with hardware specific to the way BIOS is set up
[09:18] <dibblego> bhrobinson, like I said, I gave up after trying on a IBM machine quite exhaustively
[09:19] <bhrobinson> dibblego, what I was trying to imply is that I have already narrowed it to the machine. I am just unsure of where to go at this point
[09:19] <dibblego> ok
[09:19] <bhrobinson> dibblego, could you get past the kernel when you were trying?
[09:19] <dibblego> bhrobinson, yes I could boot the live cd, but couldn't install
[09:19] <dibblego> bhrobinson, I also tried suse, debian and fedora
[09:19] <stoft> bhrobinson: memtest maybe? (just a guess but still)
[09:20] <skys123> bhrobinson: while it is not out of the question....a google search shows individuals successfully booting into t20.. http://www.tuxmagazine.com/node?from=14
[09:20] <andrewski> is https://wiki.ubuntu.com down for anyone else?
[09:21] <skys123> bhrobinson: did the suse and fedora stuff work for you or same issue??
[09:21] <dibblego> no, they refused to install
[09:21] <bhrobinson> fedora is the same...
[09:21] <skys123> andrewski: asked that earlier..and the answer is yes
[09:21] <wolfmanz> anyone here using TeamSpeak with ubuntu?
[09:21] <bhrobinson> I have not tried Suse
[09:21] <andrewski> skys123: thanks
[09:21] <skys123> did you install more memory at some time..
[09:21] <jn> hello i am trying to get wpa working in gnome, i dled network-manager-gnome and removed it from the bar, now after apt-get removing and reinstalling it still does not show up
[09:21] <bhrobinson> truth be told, win2000 works fine, but windows XP will not work either
[09:21] <dibblego> skys123, actually I think I did - why?
[09:22] <Rookie-> andrewski - yes
[09:22] <skys123> i had this issue when adding memory to my laptop...it just would not load...i removed it...and bam...it works.
[09:22] <dibblego> skys123, it was a PC in my case
[09:22] <dibblego> PC/desktop
[09:22] <hyemao> df
[09:22] <skys123> hmm...
[09:22] <hyemao> where?
[09:23] <dibblego> skys123, I believe the system has some MBR protection installed but I exhaustively attempted to disable it
[09:23] <bhrobinson> so, anyone want to buy a cheap, cheap IBM laptop?
[09:23] <ciscosurfer> jn: try this: sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor/
[09:23] <skys123> like i said..for me...removing memory....fixed the loading issue...then ...when i readded it it broke my wireless....so maybe a funky irq issue??
[09:23] <Rookie-> aix on the lap ?
[09:23] <skys123> dont know for sure though..
[09:23] <shadeofgrey> whats the terminal command to loolk at my fstab file again?
[09:23] <andrewski> gosh... is EVERYTHING.ubuntu.com down? :(
[09:23] <dibblego> bhrobinson, not if I have to run windows :) Microsludge and IBM in one bucket == disaster
[09:24] <dibblego> shadeofgrey, cat /etc/fstab
[09:24] <skys123> ageed
[09:24] <shadeofgrey> thanks
[09:24] <hyemao> YEs
[09:24] <shadeofgrey> going to install xubuntu now.  hopefully everything works out i dont screw up and will see you all in 25 mins
[09:24] <bhrobinson> ok, got a little further with a copy old ASTLinux....
[09:25] <bhrobinson> seems to be locking on ACPI
[09:25] <jn> ciscosurfer: what was that supposed to do?
[09:25] <dibblego> bhrobinson, I had that problem just the other day and it was bad memory
[09:25] <dibblego> bhrobinson, on a non-IBM machine
[09:25] <skys123> ahhh....
[09:25] <ciscosurfer> jn: allows nm-applet to show up again in your systray
[09:26] <davin> can I ask about video driver problems here or should I go to #nvidia?
[09:26] <ciscosurfer> jn: maybe I misunderstood your question
[09:26] <bhrobinson> dibblego, I ran a memtest, and saw no issues.. but let me try to replace that real quick
[09:26] <Rookie-> davin - you can ask .... if anyone knows they will answer
[09:26] <davin> Rookie-: okay thanks
[09:26] <jn> ciscosurfer: it didn't
[09:26] <skys123> dibblego: watch as his problem...disappears...
[09:27] <davin> Cedega keeps failing on the OpenGL Direct Rendering test, I think its turned off, what can I do to see if its on?
[09:27] <davin> Ive got an nVidia GeForce 6200SE
[09:27] <ciscosurfer> put "nm-applet --sm-disable" (without qutoes) into your Startup Programs tab in your Sessions panel, then log back in
[09:27] <ardchoille> davin: glxinfo | grep render
[09:27] <ciscosurfer> jn: put "nm-applet --sm-disable" (without qutoes) into your Startup Programs tab in your Sessions panel, then log back in
[09:27] <skys123> does anyone know how or what irq-balance is used for...???
[09:28] <davin> hmm says its ojn
[09:28] <davin> on
[09:28] <shadeofgrey> is thewre any distro of linux that even comes close to ubuntu in power features and ease of install?
[09:29] <skys123> close...but...maybe suse
[09:29] <davin> ardchoille: okay, its a problem in cedega then, thanks
[09:29] <andrewski> shadeofgrey: short answer: no.  long answer: fedora, mandriva, and suse are somewhat close, and linspire is probably easier, but not free.
[09:29] <ardchoille> davin: You're welcome :)
[09:29] <Rookie-> depence on your linuxskill ;)
[09:30] <thompa> im still using suse 9.3
[09:30] <Rookie-> in somewhat i find slackware easy
[09:30] <thompa> suse 4 was nice
[09:30] <harisund> Does anybody know how to ask DHCP server (dhcpd3) to listen for DHCP requests on eth1 only and not eth0 please?
[09:30] <Relisxc> An easy distro that youll learn alot from: Fedora.
[09:31] <skys123> suse has alot of cool stuff.. xen server config modules...etc.. but for "feel" and hardware support...love ubuntu..
[09:31] <Relisxc> I have ti for my desktop, and I love it
[09:31] <thompa> i just tried sabayon it was pretty cool
[09:31] <xj3> how do you format a drive?
[09:31] <bhrobinson> relisxc, I agree 100%. That was my first taste
[09:31] <thompa> boots live with xgl
[09:31] <Relisxc> Im running legacy still, I dont like the newer ones as much :P
[09:31] <thompa> but install was like 2 hours
[09:32] <shadeofgrey> mandriva sounds exotic
[09:32] <ardchoille> !gparted > xj3
[09:32] <Relisxc> Only distro I HATE is Xandros
[09:32] <Rookie-> Suse was my first ... great one to learn from ... RH after that ...
[09:32] <Relisxc> 'pay an extra 20$ and get OPENOFFICE, and entire office suite
[09:32] <thompa> i got one i hate too
[09:33] <xj3> ardchoille: i don't want no GUI stuff
[09:33] <thompa> or most frustating award
[09:33] <skys123> RHEL stuff had great docs before Ubuntu..but now..thats a whole different ball game...ubuntu docs rock!
[09:33] <Relisxc> Only 3 I like are Fedora Legacy (<core 4), slackware, and debian
[09:33] <Relisxc> and ubuntu
[09:33] <Relisxc> so make that 4
[09:33] <thompa> 2.6.17-6-amd64-generic   :")
[09:34] <Relisxc> But ubuntu is sorda debian
[09:34] <skys123> apt-get changed the world...gotta love it..
[09:34] <Relisxc> and dpkg
[09:34] <DownSyndrom3> I need some help installing the "make" command. Everytime I try to, I just get this message
[09:34] <skys123> yep
[09:34] <DownSyndrom3> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[09:34] <DownSyndrom3> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[09:34] <xj3> DownSyndrom3: sudo make
[09:34] <ardchoille> DownSyndrom3: Close synaptic
[09:34] <Relisxc> Close package managers
[09:34] <StoneNote> or Adept
[09:34] <thompa> how come so many questions about synaptics
[09:35] <StoneNote> it's an easy mistake to make
[09:35] <Relisxc> I dont see what synaptic can do that apt-cache search can't :/
[09:35] <ardchoille> Relisxc: some folks like gui's
[09:35] <thompa> depends on which you start with
[09:36] <Relisxc> I started with debian live CDs
[09:36] <Relisxc> Like kanotix and such
[09:36] <DownSyndrom3> Thanks guys/girls/whatever you are
[09:36] <thompa> knoppix lol
[09:37] <Hazarath> Need help installing Yahoo chat room-able clients.
[09:37] <Zooliegsm> hello all

[09:37] <Relisxc> more*
[09:38] <Hazarath> Tried to install Yahoo's messenger, won't install./
[09:38] <Relisxc> Hazarath: you try GAIM?
[09:38] <thompa> cant you use gaim
[09:38] <Hazarath> How?
[09:38] <Relisxc> sudo apt-get install gaim

[09:38] <Hazarath> I got AIM, thanks.
[09:38] <Zooliegsm> i want to make flash movie/animation.....i had 3d flash animator on windows before i installed ubuntu....is there any similiar flashmaker for linux users? :)
[09:38] <Hazarath> Er...
[09:38] <Hazarath> GAIM
[09:39] <thompa> he
[09:39] <Relisxc> Im not too familiar with 'rooms'
[09:39] <Hazarath> If I tell it to 'join a chat', it says 'Please enter the chat room name'.
[09:39] <Schalken> whats wrong with wiki.ubuntu.com ?
[09:39] <Relisxc> did you try entering the chat room name?
[09:39] <thompa> you have to go to yahoo and find name
[09:39] <Hazarath> Ah... true...
[09:39] <Hazarath> I guess...
[09:39] <thompa> and go back and type that
[09:40] <Relisxc> But who's in a hurry? :>
[09:40] <Schalken> can anyone else not get to wiki.ubutnu.com?
[09:40] <Hazarath> Just tired of not being able to install Yahoo full.
[09:41] <ardchoille> Schalken: Seems to have a problem opening
[09:41] <lupine_85> no, wiki is down (and 'help')
[09:41] <Relisxc> Hazarath: Get the yahoo .deb
[09:41] <thompa> seems to be down wiki
[09:41] <Hazarath> Got it.
[09:41] <Schalken> good, its not just me
[09:41] <Relisxc> dpkg -i install bligity-blue.deb?
[09:41] <Relisxc> err
[09:41] <Relisxc> just dpkg -i
[09:41] <Hazarath> Relisxc, it says, 'Dependancies cannot be satisfied'
[09:42] <Relisxc> Did you try satisfying them?
[09:42] <Relisxc> haha, what dependencies?
[09:42] <ardchoille> Hazarath: IS that a debian .deb or an Ubuntu .deb?
[09:42] <Hazarath> ssl something.
[09:42] <kinema> q
[09:42] <Hazarath> ubuntu
[09:42] <kinema> safdf
[09:42] <Relisxc> I used the debian one O.o
[09:42] <kinema> safdf
[09:43] <Zooliegsm> i want to make flash movie/animation.....i had 3d flash animator on windows before i installed ubuntu....is there any similiar flashmaker for linux users?
[09:43] <Hazarath> Er... donno.
[09:43] <ardchoille> Hazarath: Which app is it?
[09:43] <thompa> no flash here
[09:43] <Relisxc> yahoo
[09:43] <Flannel> Zooliegsm: theres a few 3d Apps for linux, yes.
[09:43] <Relisxc> Hazarath: apt-get install libgdk-pixbuf2 libglib1.2 libgtk1.2 libssl0.9.6
[09:43] <Hazarath> ymessenger_1.0.4_1_i386.deb
[09:43] <ardchoille> Relisxc: yahoo what?
[09:43] <Relisxc> Then install it
[09:43] <ardchoille> oh, ok
[09:43] <trygg> How can i know if a cvs-server is down?
[09:43] <qazqaz70> hi
[09:44] <qazqaz70> help please
[09:44] <qazqaz70> how can i install rpm file
[09:44] <qazqaz70> ?
[09:44] <Hazarath> apt-get install libgdk-pixbuf2 libglib1.2 libgtk1.2 libssl0.9.6
[09:44] <ardchoille> qazqaz70: You can't
[09:44] <Hazarath> Er...
[09:44] <grigora> could someone tell me why on certain mp3 files it is possible to change the artist/track info and on some other ones it isn't? Thanks
[09:44] <hawkaloogie> alien doesn't work on ubuntu?
[09:44] <qazqaz70> oh
[09:44] <Hazarath> libglib1.2 is already the newest version.
[09:44] <Hazarath> libgtk1.2 is already the newest version.
[09:44] <Hazarath> E: Couldn't find package libssl0.9.6
[09:44] <Relisxc> qazqaz70: apt-get install alien
[09:44] <ardchoille> qazqaz70: Ubuntu is .deb based.. installing an rpm is a *very* bad idea
[09:44] <ardchoille> Relisxc: Please don't recommend alien, it's dangerous
[09:44] <Relisxc> Hazarath: hmmmm, that's odd...
[09:45] <qazqaz70> no chance for that
[09:45] <Relisxc> Oh come now :>
[09:45] <Zooliegsm> Flannel : any name?
[09:45] <ardchoille> !alien
[09:45] <ubotu> rpm is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous).
[09:45] <Hazarath> Relisxc, Can I PM ya? This scrooling is annoying, lol
[09:45] <Relisxc> yes
[09:45] <thompa> edgy is running pretty cool here

[09:46] <qazqaz70> ok i want install winrar software
[09:46] <qazqaz70> how ?
[09:46] <ardchoille> !rar
[09:46] <ubotu> rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[09:47] <qazqaz70> ok
[09:47] <yossman> heh i had to install unrar-nonfree in order to access certain .rar files
[09:47] <Zooliegsm> Flannel : these are not for flash.....these for 3d modelling
[09:48] <wolfmanz> yossman: try 7zip i think that does rar and its free
[09:48] <GNAM> rar RULEZ
[09:48] <Flannel> Zooliegsm: right, most can export to flash.  Heck, Blender is available on linux even

[09:55] <qazqaz70> ok
[09:55] <qazqaz70> sorry
[09:55] <DarkMageZ> qazqaz70, first of all, why would you want to compile yet another media player for ubuntu? secondly, you need the build-essentials
[09:55] <Flannel> qazqaz70: you didn't install build-essential, did you
[09:55] <skys123> lol
[09:55] <skys123> Flannel: good grief...
[09:55] <ardchoille> qazqaz70: If you want xine, it's in the repos
[09:55] <ardchoille> !xine
[09:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xine - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[09:56] <phichipsi> Healot, ok i will give it a tryy
[09:56] <yossman> bhrobinson, done memtest
[09:56] <yossman> ?
[09:56] <qazqaz70> because i want use it with dvb card
[09:56] <bhrobinson> yeah
[09:56] <qazqaz70> reall i'm new with linux
[09:56] <bhrobinson> replaced the ram even
[09:56] <yossman> then its probably not a RAM issue
[09:57] <skys123> bhrobinson: dont know...but you did flush the mbr...then...how about checking irqs in bios etc..
[09:57] <ergo> i am trying to install bitornado ...  i entered the tar -xvzf .gz command ...
[09:57] <ergo> a lot of things came up
[09:58] <Flannel> !tell ergo about bittornado
[09:58] <skys123> right that is the file expanind
[09:58] <bhrobinson> skys123, already done... I am locking on ACPI: ....
[09:58] <Flannel> ergo: it's in repositories ;)
[09:58] <qazqaz70> can you give me dirct link for instal xine ?
[09:58] <ergo> ?
[09:58] <Flannel> ergo: bittornado is in the repositories, why compile it?
[09:58] <Arafangion> Could I please suggest an update to dpkg's ipw2200 instructions?
[09:58] <qazqaz70> can you that?
[09:58] <jn> im trying to get network-manager-gnome to show up in the tray again, i disabled it at some point b/c it was not functional
[09:59] <skys123> bhrobinson: not sure...but does the cd when booting..alllow you to turn off acpi support..
[09:59] <skys123> ??
[09:59] <ergo> oh well i just wanna try to compile it
[09:59] <ergo> can't always do it the
[09:59] <bhrobinson> not that I can find so far
[09:59] <ergo> easy way
[09:59] <ergo> so what do i do next ?
[09:59] <Flannel> qazqaz70: sudo apt-get install xine-ui
[09:59] <skys123> bhrobinson: like boot:linux noacpi or something like that..
[09:59] <Flannel> qazqaz70: but, you'll need to enable universe first
[09:59] <DownSyndrom3> are there any other good MSN clients for linux, other than GAIM?
[10:00] <phichipsi> Healot, after sending the files through toolame i still get the file info that the files are mp2, but not mp3!
[10:00] <Arafangion> Etch users: You will need module-assistant, build-essential, and dpatch.  Etch does not have the correct versions of ipw2200-source or ieee80211-source, install those two packages from the Sid archive. (Yes, I know that this means you have a mixed setup, but these are source kernel modules so that's not too bad)
[10:00] <Flannel> Arafangion: this is #ubuntu, not #debian
[10:01] <Arafangion> Flannel: Oops, sorry!
[10:01] <Healot> phichipsi: lame for mp3; toolame for mpeg-2 audio, and don't shout :0
[10:01] <phichipsi> Healot, "No header found. Assuming Raw PCM sound file" that is suspicous, but i haven't got a clue how to tell toolame to explicitly convert to mp3 as i thought it does it automatically
[10:01] <phichipsi> Healot, sorry for the exclamation mark :)
[10:01] <bhrobinson> skys123: no go still
[10:01] <Healot> man for those tools to find out mor
[10:02] <skys123> bhrobinson: was is it like noapci or apci=off??
[10:02] <qazqaz70> thank's alot
[10:02] <skys123> do you remember...hmmm...will have to look for that..
[10:02] <bhrobinson> i tried noacpi, let me try the other
[10:03] <shawarma> Arafangion: Is there a bug about the inadequacies of ipw2200 in edgy?
[10:03] <skys123> bhrobinson acpi=off
[10:03] <qazqaz70> after downlod and install what ?
[10:03] <yossman> downsyndrom3, you could look into telepathy
[10:03] <qazqaz70> after this sudo apt-get install xine-ui
[10:03] <yossman> its brand new, not sure if ubuntu has a package for it yet
[10:03] <Arafangion> shawarma: Yes.
[10:04] <shawarma> Arafangion: Bug number?
[10:04] <Arafangion> shawarma: It simply doesn't want to work, though it's evidently fine in sarge and sid.
[10:04] <Arafangion> shawarma: It's a Debian issue.
[10:04] <skys123> bhrobinson: looks like acpi=off
[10:04] <carl0s> hi all

[10:05] <qazqaz70> yes
[10:05] <carl0s> can anyone help?
[10:05] <shawarma> Arafangion: Last time i checked (which arguably is more than a year ago), Debian didn't ship binary ipw2200 drivers?
[10:05] <skys123> bhrobinson: damn...thats near everything...tried...
[10:05] <qazqaz70> i put it in terminal
[10:05] <qazqaz70> and all ok
[10:05] <qazqaz70> finsh
[10:05] <bhrobinson> thinking of grabbing linspire and see if it will load
[10:05] <DownSyndrom3> Do I need to be on root to copy files to /usr/bin/?
[10:05] <ardchoille> DownSyndrom3: yes
[10:06] <Arafangion> shawarma: It does - in Sarge and Sid.
[10:06] <trygg> How do i change the bootsplash? :)
[10:06] <skys123> bhrobinson: try knoppix...and see what happens..
[10:06] <HyperHacker> Newts!
[10:06] <qazqaz70> now i want next step
[10:06] <shawarma> Arafangion: Also, how can it be a Debian issue that something works in Breezy and Dapper, but not in Etch?
[10:06] <carl0s> i get my synaptics driver compiled from source
[10:06] <carl0s> i did make isntall
[10:06] <carl0s> everything's ok
[10:06] <Arafangion> shawarma: Because Etch is Debian
[10:06] <carl0s> but on /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[10:06] <carl0s> still doesn't see it
[10:07] <carl0s> should i have to reboot?
[10:07] <shawarma> Arafangion: Doh... of course. My bad!
[10:07] <bhrobinson> took off quiet... it gets to PCI: Sharing IRQ 10 with 0000:00:03.0
[10:07] <carl0s> someone?
[10:07] <Arafangion> shawarma: Hence teh: 18:01 < Flannel> Arafangion: this is #ubuntu, not #debian
[10:08] <shawarma> Arafangion: Hah, and when you said "sarge and sid" my mind read "breezy and dapper". :-)
[10:08] <skys123> carlOs: not sure but there is a line i...forget now..but a line about some module that gets created right??
[10:08] <laurens_s> This is probably the 1033454645th time this question is asked, but a. is wiki.ubuntu.com offline, and b. any eta as to when it will be back up?
[10:08] <carl0s> skys123 uh?
[10:08] <skys123> carlOs: when you compiled from source did it create a module??
[10:08] <ardchoille> laurens_s: It's down, not sure of an ETA
[10:08] <StoneNote> laurens_s, a. yes b. they are not returning my calls
[10:09] <laurens_s> ardchoille: thanks
[10:09] <laurens_s> StoneNote:thanks too :)
[10:09] <skys123> carl0s: a synaptics .o file ?
[10:09] <StoneNote> yw
[10:09] <carl0s> yep
[10:09] <carl0s> it did the make thing
[10:09] <carl0s> i put it on the right place
[10:09] <carl0s> following instructions
[10:10] <carl0s> but no works.
[10:10] <skys123> carlos: yeah...that file needs to be dropped into the right place AND it has to be called the right thing..one sec while i check ..
[10:10] <carl0s> ok thx
[10:11] <qazqaz70> flannel !!
[10:11] <qazqaz70> i want plugins for xine if you have same action thats good
[10:12] <abd> hello
[10:12] <abd> how do I enable a parition ?
[10:12] <_lupine> do you mean mount it? ie. you want to access files on it?
[10:13] <abd> yes
[10:13] <_lupine> is it in your /etc/fastab?
[10:13] <abd> not
[10:13] <abd> *no
[10:13] <skys123> carl0s: okay...i think this will do it for you... cp the synaptics_drv.o file to this location /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/synaptics_drv.so
[10:13] <carl0s> .so
[10:14] <carl0s> ok
[10:14] <carl0s> and
[10:14] <_lupine> ok, you need to specify the full command, and you have to be root
[10:14] <rob> is anyone else having problems getting onto wiki.ubuntu.com?
[10:14] <carl0s> do i have to reboot skys123 ?
[10:14] <_lupine> what format is it? NTF, FAT32, ext2?
[10:14] <ardchoille> rob: yes
[10:14] <StoneNote> ron everyone
[10:14] <RMorris84> can someone help me i gotta quick question.
[10:14] <_lupine> reiserfs, etc?
[10:14] <skys123> cal0s: i dont think so...just restart X
[10:14] <rob> ardchoille: cool, its not just me then :)
[10:14] <carl0s> ok
[10:14] <carl0s> i do it
[10:14] <RMorris84> whats the best way to install icons?
[10:14] <carl0s> and come back
[10:14] <carl0s> thx
[10:14] <carl0s> :))
[10:14] <skys123> yep
[10:14] <StoneNote> RMorris84, take her to dinner first and THEN blow in her ear
[10:15] <abd> no
[10:15] <ardchoille> RMorris84: Is it an icon set?
[10:15] <abd> media/sda5
[10:15] <_lupine> which operating system made the partition?
[10:15] <RMorris84> ard... yes i got it off deviant art
[10:15] <RMorris84> http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/18530981/
[10:15] <bhrobinson> woohoo
[10:16] <bhrobinson> I got the IBM booting
[10:16] <skys123> bhrobinson: what was the difference??
[10:16] <ardchoille> RMorris84: You can unpack it into ~/.icons for the user or unpack it into /usr/share icons for system-wide.
[10:16] <_lupine> %abd: you want to do something like mount -t <partition-type> /dev/sda5 /path/to/mountpoint
[10:16] <abd> by gnom partition editor
[10:16] <_lupine>  abd: you want to do something like mount -t <partition-type> /dev/sda5 /path/to/mountpoint
[10:16] <bhrobinson> pulled some card out of the bottom of it
[10:16] <abd> from the cd
[10:16] <RMorris84> i want them to be used system wide... how do i go about that
[10:16] <Healot> or man mount for syntax and options
[10:16] <bhrobinson> hope it is not the nic :)
[10:17] <RMorris84> just copy them to the /usr/share/icons/ ?
[10:17] <ardchoille> RMorris84: You can unpack it into /usr/share icons for system-wide.
[10:17] <RMorris84> it says i dont have premission to just drop them there
[10:17] <_lupine> ok, just try "sudo mount /dev/sda5 /path/to/mountpoint"
[10:17] <RMorris84> i need to be root?
[10:17] <skys123> bhrobinson: I ran to a very similar issue..as I said....funky irq conflict....hat is likely it..
[10:17] <ardchoille> RMorris84: use sudo
[10:17] <_lupine> if you're lucky it'll autodetect the filesystem type
[10:18] <RMorris84> like sudo cp /.icons/ /usr/share/icons/ ?
[10:18] <skys123> bhrobinson: you did all the right steps to find out....good hangin in there ! ;)
[10:18] <carl0s> skys123 that doesn't work...
[10:18] <carl0s> i did the mv thing
[10:18] <carl0s> from .o to .so
[10:18] <skys123> carl0s: did you enable the parameter in xorg.conf too??
[10:18] <bhrobinson> skys123, it is the nic... just found the mac on it... guess it is PCMCIA for me, huh?
[10:18] <ardchoille> RMorris84: oohhh, nice icon set
[10:18] <carl0s> skys123 which one?
[10:18] <RMorris84> yeah i like those...
[10:18] <RMorris84> :)
[10:18] <carl0s> i copied the .conf file
[10:18] <skys123> bhrobinson: yep
[10:18] <skys123> carl0s: one sec
[10:19] <carl0s> thx
[10:19] <abd> what is /path/to/mountpoint?
[10:20] <grigora> how can one insure that the ID3v2 tags are saved in an mp3 by either XMMS or Banshee? is there a reason why the metadata would be immutable? Thanks
[10:20] <RMorris84> ard.. how would i use the sudo in this case?
[10:20] <skys123> carl0s: in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file in the syanptics touchpad section you will need to add a line -  Option      "SHMConfig" "on"
[10:20] <Healot> abd: type "man mount" to find out more about mount syntax and options
[10:20] <carl0s> i have it
[10:20] <carl0s> yes.
[10:20] <lupine_85> ...what it says. The path to the place you want to mount the partition
[10:20] <carl0s> no way.
[10:21] <lupine_85> generally, you'd make dir in /media for it
[10:21] <ardchoille> RMorris84: sudo cp /path/gperfection2.zip /user/share/icons && sudo unzip /usr/share/icons/gperfection2.zip
[10:21] <skys123> carl0s: what are you using to configure the touchpad??
[10:21] <carl0s> at the moment
[10:21] <carl0s> i tried gsynaptics
[10:21] <carl0s> but it gives an error
[10:21] <carl0s> wait i paste it
[10:21] <carl0s> here or pvt?
[10:22] <skys123> carl0s: try this.. after the SHMConfig line add this.. do the paste in pastebin
[10:22] <carl0s> ?
[10:22] <abd> now I have access to it... but I do not have the permession to write?
[10:22] <skys123> carl0s: try this.. Option      "MaxTapTime" "0"....that should make the annoying tap off the touchpad go away....try that and see first..
[10:23] <lupine_85> you can as root (because root mounted it)
[10:23] <carl0s> i'm trying and getting back
[10:23] <carl0s> thanx
[10:23] <lupine_85> if you want it to be writable by users, you have to add it to your fstab so that users can mount it
[10:23] <lupine_85> man fstab for details on how to do that
[10:23] <lupine_85> (hint: you'll need the user,noauto options)
[10:24] <abd> thanks
[10:24] <zeeshan> hello there
[10:24] <zeeshan> any body
[10:24] <zeeshan> here
[10:24] <tom47> ina-edulis here?
[10:24] <plop2> If you could do it, though, you could hire kids to pedal bikes if your uptime meant that much to you... though watt for watt, you'd be better off having them steal car batteries.
[10:24] <plop2> Oops
[10:24] <zeeshan> can any body help me
[10:24] <tom47> zeeshan hello
[10:24] <zeeshan> i hav installed ubuntu

[10:25] <zeeshan> as well as movies
[10:25] <vik> where does apt/dpkg keep its list of installed packages?
[10:25] <plop2> Why did you go with 5.10?
[10:25] <eternalswd> if this is a fresh install, why didn't you go with 6.06?
[10:25] <zeeshan> i dont hav the cd

[10:26] <[joemaxxx] > zeeshan,  6.06 fixes all that was lacking in 5.10
[10:26] <zeeshan> but can c my network members and cant chat with them as well as mention above probs
[10:26] <[joemaxxx] > :)
[10:27] <DownSyndrom3> when I try to install ActiveState Tcl Dev Kit 3.2, it has to create a directory in /usr/local/, but it can't because I'm not on root. How would I be able to run the intstaller as root?
[10:27] <tom47> zeeshan what kind of network connection are you on
[10:27] <[joemaxxx] > DownSyndrom3, sudo <run command>
[10:27] <plop2> DownSyndrom3, use sudo
[10:27] <RMorris84> hey ard..?
[10:27] <zeeshan> local area

[10:28] <OmegaNine> zeeshan, It would best if you where to DL 6.0 from ubuntu.com
[10:28] <dejx> and laptop is on table, standing still
[10:28] <tom47> zeeshan then i would do an update to 6.06 online
[10:28] <iain> What a madhouse in here ;-)
[10:28] <skys123> iain: it needs gcc++...you can find that in the synaptics repo
[10:28] <Hazarath> lol
[10:29] <dejx> anyideas how to fix that?
[10:29] <lupine_85> this is fairly quiet, considering ;)
[10:29] <Randomtime> 'm new! (Hi!) i run windows ant the moment but my mouse driver dosn't work so I can't install! Anyone know how to get mouce working on ubuntu? (sorry repeated query but onone got back to me)
[10:29] <lupine_85> dejx: is it a power management issue?
[10:29] <arepie> hello, after installing ATI driver, i get some error..
[10:29] <tom47> gotta go dinner gong has rung
[10:29] <lupine_85> Randomtime: what sort of mouse?
[10:29] <carl0s> skys123 i did that too
[10:29] <carl0s> no luck
[10:29] <skys123> hmmmm..
[10:29] <OmegaNine> Randomtime - USB or PS/2?
[10:29] <dejx> lupine_85 how do you mean, i run it on batery
[10:29] <Hazarath> Anyone use GAIM to connect to Yahoo chat rooms?
[10:29] <eternalswd> zeeshan, if you have a quick connection I would recommend installing the newest ubuntu first, otherwise, check out http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Breezy
[10:29] <lupine_85> all usb, ps/2 (and probably serial) should be supported
[10:29] <lupine_85> oh, a wireless mouse...
[10:30] <[joemaxxx] > Randomtime, hmm...hav u checkd out ur XF86Config?
[10:30] <StoneNote> or squeeking with four legs?
[10:30] <skys123> carl0s: and you uninstalled the old synaptics right??
[10:30] <Randomtime> urm... USb logtec
[10:30] <zeeshan> i have ordered a cd
[10:30] <zeeshan> right now
[10:30] <carl0s> skys123 the strange thing is that with tpconfig it's recognized
[10:30] <[joemaxxx] > hehe...getting dizzy
[10:30] <OmegaNine> Randomtime, are your other USB devices working?
[10:30] <lupine_85> it should work out of the box, still
[10:30] <carl0s> yes i did
[10:30] <zeeshan> can i chat privately
[10:30] <zeeshan> and how can i do this
[10:30] <zeeshan> ??
[10:30] <Randomtime> havn't got any more ports
[10:30] <Hazarath> Anyone?
[10:30] <carl0s> skys123 i mean i uninstalled through synaptic packet manager too
[10:30] <dejx> lupine_85 i pluged on electricity and the same...
[10:30] <StoneNote> Bueller? anyone? Bueller?
[10:30] <eternalswd> zeeshan, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Breezy while you wait for your disc then
[10:31] <carl0s> now i'm reboot linux box
[10:31] <OmegaNine> Randomtime, so you have one USB port and you are using it for your mouse?
[10:31] <dejx> how do i change this...?
[10:31] <Randomtime> yup! lol
[10:31] <skys123> carl0s: so by adding that line does the click function still perform off the touchpad?? it shouldnt now..
[10:31] <OmegaNine> Randomtime got a thumb drive?
[10:31] <carl0s> it never worked the tap thing
[10:31] <carl0s> all i'm going to get working is twofingerscroll
[10:31] <lupine_85> I'd suggest getting one with a tail, but i'm biased - and it doesn't really help you
[10:31] <carl0s> for it's a powerbook
[10:31] <Randomtime> yes
[10:32] <lupine_85> does it show up if you run the command "lsusb"?
[10:32] <Hazarath> Chat room help, please.
[10:32] <iain> ./configure can't find SDL but I have several packages with libsdl in the name.  What does it need?
[10:32] <OmegaNine> Randomtime pop it in, see if it works, if so then its just your mouse.  But my guess would be its your USB controlelr not working
[10:32] <skys123> carl0s: so...the touchpad that you have..if you clicked in the center before adding the line worked or no?
[10:32] <carl0s> the touchpad is working right
[10:32] <bhrobinson> hazarath, not sure it supports chat rooms
[10:32] <lupine_85> iain: it needs the -dev packages
[10:32] <Randomtime> ok...
[10:32] <carl0s> the twofingerscroll doesn't
[10:32] <carl0s> and
[10:32] <lupine_85> (asuming you're compiling something)
[10:32] <dejx> hm...
[10:32] <Hazarath> bhrobinson, What can?
[10:32] <carl0s> gsynaptics is sucked
[10:33] <bhrobinson> hazarath, pm me and I will try to help you out..
[10:33] <lupine_85> hazarath: try kopete?
[10:33] <lupine_85> (KDE but will work in gnome)
[10:33] <[joemaxxx] > hmm
[10:33] <dejx> where the hell is some sort of control panel in ubuntu
[10:33] <iain> lupine_85: libsdl-gfx? libsdl-console?
[10:33] <dejx> to adjust settings..
[10:33] <bhrobinson> lupine_85 that was where I was going to take him
[10:33] <skys123> carl0s: yep... hmmm...im thinking that maybe gsynaptics is having the issue.. and perhaps using something else or adding the lines manually will do it.. let me check to see if something else will do it for ya..
[10:33] <iain> maybe another?
[10:33] <afief> When running mplayer i get the following error: Xlib:  extension "XFree86-VidModeExtension" missing on display ":1.0".
[10:34] <carl0s> ok skys123
[10:34] <[joemaxxx] > ok i have irda-utils ready onmy dapper..now where do i start? I'm also reading the manual atm but I also wanna know if sum1 has done this before :) thanks..
[10:34] <OmegaNine> dejx :  /etc :P
[10:34] <carl0s> i'll be out for a bit
[10:34] <dejx> OmegaNine,  not that
[10:34] <carl0s> do you mind?
[10:34] <dejx> GRRR
[10:34] <carl0s> i'll check back soon
[10:34] <dejx> i'm starting to freak out...
[10:34] <ojk007> hey i need help installing XGL on ubuntu with an nVidia 5200
[10:34] <zeeshan> i cant dl right now it will take hours and i want to live with 5.10 untill the cd arrives can i be able to play songs plzz
[10:34] <OmegaNine> Click on the system menu then go to prefrences
[10:34] <vook> ok, this is frustating.  Something keeps destroying my /etc/resolv.conf file (the link actually).  Every 30 seconds or so, I look at it, and it's blank.  I then restore it from a backup, and then, 30 seconds later, it's blank again.  Anyone know what's causing this?
[10:35] <dejx> not there what i'm looking for...
[10:35] <OmegaNine> dejx What are you looking for?
[10:35] <zeeshan> hello please
[10:35] <ojk007> never mind i found the right channel :D
[10:35] <zeeshan> omeganine
[10:35] <zeeshan> sir
[10:35] <OmegaNine> zeeshan, Yes?
[10:35] <dejx> my disk turning off from time to time on my laptop
[10:35] <zeeshan> i cant dl right now it will take hours and i want to live with 5.10 untill the cd arrives can i be able to play songs plzz
[10:35] <skys123> carlOs: it looks like a read up on adding manually or using synclient..and some sort of script...i have the same issue as you...:)
[10:35] <ardchoille> vook: I had the same problem. I fixed it by restoring /etc/resolv.conf and then: sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf
[10:35] <dejx> and then turn on again.. start spining
[10:36] <dejx> i really dont wont that and its strange sound...
[10:36] <vook> ardchoille, oh thank you so much
[10:36] <skys123> carl0s: but I can tell you it appears that you have it installed right..
[10:36] <OmegaNine> zeeshan - go to mplayerhq.hu and download the codecs from there, then use apt-get to install mplayer
[10:36] <lupine_85> vook: probably DHCP
[10:36] <dejx> so i must adjust that disc wont go idle
[10:36] <carl0s> yes skys123 it seems right
[10:36] <dejx> but i dont know where...
[10:36] <ardchoille> vook: Keep in mind, that chattr +i command makes the file un-editable.. root can't even edit it. To make it editable again: sudo chattr -i /etc/resolv.conf
[10:36] <carl0s> but you see on macosx i did get working the twofingerscroll
[10:37] <carl0s> and here not
[10:37] <vook> ardchoille, ok, works for me
[10:37] <carl0s> that is strange
[10:37] <vook> ardchoille, thanks
[10:37] <dejx> anyone? please
[10:37] <ardchoille> vook: You're welcome :)
[10:37] <lupine_85> try adding the dns-nameserver option to the right place in /etc/network/interfaces
[10:37] <skys123> carl0s: maybe a google search to add manually? let me see if there is anything...
[10:37] <ardchoille> lupine_85: been there, done that.. didn't help
[10:37] <OmegaNine> zeeshan - I got to run out for a sec, msg me if you need help
[10:37] <lupine_85> dejx: "have you checked the power management settings"?
[10:38] <lupine_85> ah, ok. ignore me then :)
[10:38] <FalseCAM> hallo, ich habe ein problem. mein /boot/grub/menu.lst wurde berschrieben und jetzt startet mein ubuntu nicht mehr
[10:38] <carl0s> skys123 there's an option
[10:38] <dejx> lupine_85, i couldnt find them..
[10:38] <carl0s> i did it btw
[10:38] <FalseCAM> ich habe jetzt nachtrglich eingefgt:
[10:38] <ardchoille> lupine_85: That was actually good advice, I think I just have a screwy router or something
[10:38] <carl0s> but it didn't work at all
[10:38] <dejx> not on preferences not on system
[10:38] <zeeshan> okey

[10:38] <zeeshan> well i ll try my best
[10:39] <StoneNote> if you are running chrooted, it's in /var/spool/postfix/etc/resolv.conf not /etc/resolv.conf

[10:41] <albacker> guys why doesnt ubuntu show an icon of my dvd-r drive, when i put the dvd in ?!
[10:41] <vik> how can I install 6.06 using LVM?
[10:41] <carl0s> skys123 i'm trying
[10:41] <skys123> k
[10:41] <carl0s> ehm
[10:41] <ardchoille> Hi albacker :)
[10:41] <albacker> hey ardchoille :) how's stuff ?!
[10:41] <ardchoille> albacker: Good :)
[10:42] <albacker> lots of time i haven't seen you.
[10:42] <afief> hey everybody, when i run gmplayer i get nothing at all on my screen, although the process is still running
[10:42] <Flannel> vik: alternate CD
[10:42] <carl0s> the only difference i see
[10:42] <ardchoille> afief: try running it from a term and see if there is any error output
[10:42] <carl0s> it's a SMHConfig on in mine
[10:42] <carl0s> and true in that one
[10:42] <skys123> vik: within the partitioner there is an option for that...you will need to set up the volume group first...then the volumes..and then format them to ext3 or whatever..
[10:42] <DownSyndrom3> How would I be able to execute a .sh file from Terminal?
[10:43] <lupine_85> prefix with './'
[10:43] <DownSyndrom3> Thanks
[10:43] <ardchoille> DownSyndrom3: sh /path/file.sh
[10:43] <albacker> something has happen to my ubuntu, now i have to righclick>eject to the icon, cos my dvd-rom doesnt open from the button :P
[10:43] <vik> skys123: is this in the graphical installer?

[10:43] <albacker> s/:p/:(
[10:43] <eternalswd> why was there no version change of gimp to 2.2.12?
[10:43] <iain> lupine_85: Thanks for the help earlier.  I now have all the libraries :-)  However, now the compiler reports /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lperl.  Do you know what is up?
[10:44] <afief> ardchoille: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21765
[10:44] <Flannel> eternalswd: when was 2.2.12 released?
[10:44] <zeeshan> omeganine sir, ru there
[10:44] <skys123> vik: i could be off on this...its been a while.. but I want to say "yes"
[10:44] <dejx> ah.... i'm going insane.. anyone know where can i find powermanegment ?
[10:44] <skys123> carl0s: its the same on mine..and I can assure you mine works...:)
[10:44] <eternalswd> gimp 2.2.13 is current stable, though ubuntu only has 2.2.11 in repos
[10:44] <ardchoille> afief: No idea, I don't use mplayer because it doesn't support closed captions
[10:44] <Flannel> vik: Alternate ISO for LVM
[10:44] <vik> Flannel: cool
[10:45] <skys123> carl0s: its on on mine..
[10:45] <Flannel> eternalswd: when was .12 releaesd?
[10:45] <carl0s> well
[10:45] <zeeshan> eternalswd - how can i see my network members as well as chat with them
[10:45] <skys123> vik: Flannel is is correct..
[10:45] <carl0s> "true" doesn't work skys123 :/
[10:45] <eternalswd> 2006-07-06
[10:45] <carl0s> i'm coming soon...
[10:45] <skys123> carl0s: its on on mine..
[10:45] <Flannel> eternalswd: heh, yeah.  found it.  eternalswd, dapper had been out for a month by then
[10:45] <carl0s> yes skys123 i had on
[10:45] <carl0s> i tried true
[10:45] <carl0s> no luck
[10:46] <skys123> weird..
[10:46] <skys123> so did you try to add the other lines...
[10:46] <zeeshan> hello any body know  how can i see my network members as well as chat with them
[10:46] <carl0s> i had them all
[10:46] <carl0s> skys123
[10:46] <skys123> werid..
[10:46] <carl0s> that's not weird, that sucks :(
[10:46] <eternalswd> zeeshan, do you mean others on your lan, I'm not sure what you're referring to
[10:46] <RMorris84> hey ardchodille...
[10:47] <zeeshan> yes other pcs on my lan
[10:47] <extern> why doesn't ubuntu wiki work?
[10:47] <Flannel> extern: it's down
[10:47] <extern> for how long?
[10:47] <Flannel> extern: no idea
[10:47] <skys123> carl0s: and you copied the file into the proper location right...not just renamed it...the synaptics_drv.so file??
[10:48] <carl0s> i did make
[10:48] <eternalswd> zeeshan, you likely need to look into smb for seeing the other computers, as for chatting, how did you chat in windows on a lan?  I don't know how that is done.
[10:48] <carl0s> on the downloaded folder in which the sources are
[10:48] <carl0s> and then i copied AND renamed it.
[10:48] <zeeshan> through a lan chat software called borg chat
[10:48] <carl0s> rebooted the box
[10:48] <eternalswd> zeeshan samba instead of smb
[10:49] <carl0s> and even controlled the xorg.conf file.
[10:49] <skys123> carl0s: does the file exist here...(look and pay attention to this path) -
[10:49] <vook> doh! it was my stupid cron.minutely script that was causing the new problem, which was created to fix the original problem.  Bad idea, cron.minutely, I knew it from the start.
[10:49] <carl0s> i'm checking
[10:49] <carl0s> give me the path
[10:50] <skys123> carl0s: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/synaptics_drv.so
[10:50] <carl0s> yeo
[10:50] <carl0s> yep
[10:50] <carl0s> i have
[10:50] <carl0s> it
[10:50] <skys123> carl0s: NOT here... /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input/synaptics_drv.o
[10:50] <carl0s> right perms too.
[10:51] <carl0s> i have it there too
[10:51] <carl0s> do i have to delete?
[10:51] <skys123> nope
[10:51] <carl0s> k
[10:51] <eternalswd> zeeshan, borgchat uses its own transport protocol, so there's no current linux program that will allow you to connect.  you could try and see if it would install in wine though
[10:51] <carl0s> that's it...
[10:51] <bhrobinson> skys123, do you think a new minipci card would help?
[10:51] <iddo333> i installed latest ubuntu-amd64, and it doesn't work with my ethernet card (intel 82562v http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/iii/?i=8086104c), i don't have any network access in it... help?
[10:51] <carl0s> if you're online i'm coming back soon.
[10:51] <carl0s> skys123
[10:51] <carl0s> thanks a million for now :**
[10:51] <dejx> anyone know where can i find powermanegment ?
[10:52] <zeeshan> u know there was a comman of net send as well as winpopup is there any thing in ubuntu
[10:52] <skys123> bhrobinson: all depends on the whole irq conflict...thing..if it doesnt use that..then you might be good....i had this with memory added..and my damn wireless would blow up...disable wireless no problem....delete memory from system..and bam wireless works...
[10:53] <skys123> carl0s: no problem...im interested to know what the heck is missing.....damn
[10:53] <acon> Hi, is there any way to use alt instead of ctrl as the main modifier key in Gnome?
[10:55] <foxpaul> hi all. does anyone know which guide is the most up to date one for getting xgl to work on dapper? i've seen lots of different ones, but don't know which one works best
[10:55] <eternalswd> zeeshan, AFAIK net send was discontinued due to security issues.  as far as winpopup, there's a perl script in cpan allowing this http://search.cpan.org/~greb/Net-NetSend-0.11/
[10:56] <Flannel> foxpaul: try asking in #ubuntu-xgl
[10:56] <jacques> hi, is there anyone from capetown here
[10:57] <Ribs> foxpaul, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=148351
[10:57] <foxpaul> Flannel, Ribs thanks
[10:57] <zeeshan> Thank You so much for ur help but i m going outside i wants to be in touch with you .... my id is guy_18_pk@hotmail.com ... hope to chat with you byeee
[10:58] <Anubuntu> hello
[10:59] <kairu0> hey
[10:59] <jacques> hello
[10:59] <jacques> how u guys doing
[10:59] <Anubuntu> I am having trouble getting Ubuntu to work with my Brother HL-720 laser printer. wondering if anyone has any ideas as to how I can fix this?
[11:00] <mikeje99> Hi. Is there anyone there that fancys helping me with a resolution problem?
[11:00] <Anubuntu> Mikege99, sure, whats the problem?
[11:00] <jacques> how do you play divx encoded files in linux
[11:00] <mikeje99> I've got 1360x768 showing in my Screen Res but it only show 75mhz not 60mhz
[11:01] <eternalswd> I checked launchpad and the gimp from the security repositories is in fact 2.2.12, so why was the version kept at 2.2.11?
[11:01] <eternalswd> and how does this affect the versioning of 2.2.13?
[11:02] <dejx> anyone know where can i find powermanegment ?
[11:02] <vik> any thoughts about which filesystem to use for a desktop machine?
[11:02] <bhrobinson> skys123, I found a wireless card
[11:02] <bhrobinson> I will try it after the install
[11:02] <mikeje99> dejx click prefrences it's under there
[11:03] <skys123> bhrobinson: hope its not one of the ndis ones like mine and has native support..but you should be good...give it whirl..
[11:03] <dejx> mikeje99 i already checked there, but its not
[11:03] <Anubuntu> vik: ext3 is my personal favorite
[11:04] <mikeje99> Hi Anububuntu any ideas?
[11:04] <bhrobinson> skys123. how hard is it to install the wireless after installing the OS?
[11:04] <eternalswd> dejx maybe sudo apt-get install powermanagement-interface
[11:04] <vik> Anubuntu: yeah, that's the status quo, but it's slow, and _so_ 20th century
[11:04] <skys123> bhrobinson: well...if its native and has modules..it will load and youll see it..
[11:04] <bhrobinson> skys123. PIII 750 with 384 megs.... not fast
[11:04] <Anubuntu> mikeje99, not really, taking a look through xorg.conf for refresh rates
[11:04] <jacques> how do you play divx encoded files in linux
[11:05] <opexoc> is there someone who can tell is it possible to run ubuntu with
[11:05] <dejx> its says its already installed
[11:05] <opexoc> kernel 1.0 version
[11:05] <skys123> bhrobinson: but...if its not...either you will need to get a module driver for it or use ndiswrapper and use the windows inf file..
[11:05] <vik> jacques: mplayer or vlc
[11:05] <eternalswd> jacques, there are multiple ways, it depends on what you want to use as a player
[11:05] <dejx> what's the commandline for it?
[11:05] <bhrobinson> skys123, forget that if that is the case
[11:05] <RMorris84> anyone got xgl/compiz workin on a intel i810?
[11:05] <randomtime> hello again i was on here earlyer with my usb mouse problem... none of my usb devices work on linux but they work perfictly on windows
[11:06] <Flannel> opexoc: no.  Why would you want to do that anyway?
[11:06] <skys123> bhrobinson: why?....it will help you learn....its a good exercise...:0
[11:06] <Anubuntu> mikeje99, I havnt got any ideas, my res is set to 60, which was what it was set to on install. It wont change either.
[11:06] <ROCKSTEADY1964> HOW DO YOU GET THE SOUND CARD TO WORK ON LINUX?
[11:06] <skys123> !yell
[11:06] <eternalswd> dejx, maybe gnome-power-manager
[11:06] <dejx> ROCKSTEADY1964,  alsa
[11:06] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[11:06] <opexoc> Flannel: why no ?
[11:06] <Hazarath> By typing in lowers?
[11:06] <jacques> etrtnalswd: i dont reslly care i just want to watch my movies
[11:07] <JohnRobert> has anyone managed to get lirc to work on dapper? It seems to be quite a widespread problem
[11:07] <eternalswd> jacques, then I would recommend using automatix to install mplayer and codecs
[11:07] <bhrobinson> skys123, I tried those drivers on an Airlink+ card... horrid experience... thought it was awesome on how they manipulated... but holy cow
[11:07] <Flannel> opexoc: because it's meant for specific kernel versions, 2.6.15 in dapper, 2.4.something in breezy, etc.  Why are you interested in getting it to work on 1.0?
[11:07] <Seveas> eternalswd, NEVER recommend automatic
[11:07] <Seveas> eternalswd, NEVER recommend automatix
[11:07] <_w^x_> I need to reduce my latency, I'm trying to setup a audio/video editing system.
[11:07] <opexoc> Flannel: it is a kind of experiment.
[11:07] <Seveas> automatix is horrible
[11:07] <eternalswd> seveas, why not?
[11:07] <vik> Seveas: why is automatix horrible?
[11:07] <eternalswd> worked great for me
[11:07] <Seveas> eternalswd, because the chance that it breaks your system is very high
[11:08] <Seveas> !worksforme
[11:08] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[11:08] <dejx> ah, no its not ... gnome-p its only panel and pilot
[11:08] <RMorris84> vik: i found easyubuntu better than automatix
[11:08] <Flannel> And when it DOES break your system, it does so horribly and makes it a lot easier to just reinstall than to fix.
[11:08] <Andy> could someone help me with ubuntu?
[11:08] <jacques> etrtnalswd: I'm a newbie to all this only installed ubuntu yesturday. so can you please tell me how and where to do that
[11:08] <nubio> i wrote a helper script to help automate lucent winmodem setup under Breezy and Dapper.  what's best place to share it with the community ?
[11:08] <Seveas> !someone > Andy
[11:08] <_w^x_> Is realtime-lsm suited to this? Is that what I need 0r do I need some other patch for my kernel to achive realtime and 90%+ preemption
[11:08] <_w^x_> ?
[11:08] <skys123> nhrobinson: its not that bad...really.... just get ndiswrapper...then ndiswrapper -i  blah.inf ....then....ndiswrapper-m ...which loads module...reboot...and hope system doesnt freeze....if it does...remove card..
[11:08] <opexoc> Flannel: so if I wanted to install 2.6.17 kernel, would not I do that ?
[11:09] <Seveas> nubio, file a bug reprt and attach it, that way it may get properly integrated
[11:09] <skys123> bhrobinson: see above...spelled name wrong..
[11:09] <jacques> etrtnalswd: I'm a newbie to all this only installed ubuntu yesturday. so can you please tell me how and where to do that
[11:09] <Andy> guys in doing the ndiswrapper thing but when i go in the terminal and do the "make" command = Bash: Make: command not valid or something.
[11:09] <eternalswd> jacques, if your a newbie, you probably want vlc for divx files, it's the easiest nothing else to install
[11:09] <Flannel> opexoc: nope.  Well, you could compile it yourself.  If we're being purely experimental, I suppose it may be possible.  I'm not familiar with such older kernels.  I imagine theres a bit of an interface difference, you'd almost certainly need to compile everything
[11:09] <Andy> any1 help?
[11:10] <Flannel> Andy: you need to install build-essential
[11:10] <ROCKSTEADY1964> my pcis hp pavilion 6648c win98 se,can't figure it out
[11:10] <Andy> how?
[11:10] <Andy> i know the command thing
[11:10] <Seveas> Andy, the 'ndiswrapper thing' does not involve 'make'
[11:10] <skys123> Andy: any reason for not using the ndiswrapper that comes with ubuntu??
[11:10] <RMorris84> jacques: check out http://freeengineer.org/learnUNIXin10minutes.html it helped me out alot with using the terminal
[11:10] <jacques> where do i get vlc
[11:10] <extern> which program can I use to display .chm files?
[11:10] <Andy> huh?
[11:10] <Seveas> extern, xchm
[11:10] <Andy> i read this guide
[11:10] <Andy> and it said
[11:10] <Andy> to do the .tar.gz thing
[11:10] <bhrobinson> skys123, yeah, just seems strange
[11:10] <Andy> make
[11:10] <Seveas> Andy, that was the wrong guide
[11:10] <Andy> make install
[11:10] <Andy> oooohhh
[11:10] <Andy> ok
[11:10] <Seveas> and don't use enter as punctuation
[11:10] <skys123> Andy: through synaptics you need to simply install ndiswrapper
[11:10] <Andy> um
[11:11] <jacques> RMorris84: thanx
[11:11] <Andy> sorry im new to linux first distro
[11:11] <eternalswd> jacques, do you know what the package manager is?
[11:11] <Andy> and how would i simply install it
[11:11] <Seveas> Andy, I'd give you a link to the proper guide but the Ubuntu wiki is down 
[11:11] <nubio> Seveas, i doubt it can be considered a bug per se, since it's *proprietary stuff*  -  is there a repository of some sort one could simply upload to ? - it's just a perl script that downloads driver src, builds and insmod's the modules, etc.
[11:11] <skys123> why compile from source?? no need here ..
[11:11] <Andy> i have the ndiswrapper1.23.tar.gz all ready
[11:11] <skys123> Andy: id suggesting using the one that comes with the distro
[11:11] <Seveas> Andy, throw that out and do this: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils
[11:11] <Andy> and i got the bcmw15.inf file (it said i needed it in the guide)
[11:12] <jacques> etrtnalswd: i have a vague idea
[11:12] <skys123> Andy: see what Seveas has to say...
[11:12] <Andy> what thing that comes with the distro?
[11:12] <skys123> Seveas: exactly
[11:12] <Andy> hold on writing this down
[11:12] <skys123> Andy:  see Seveas comment
[11:12] <Andy> sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils - thats in the terminal right?
[11:12] <RMorris84> andy... what kind of wireless is it? that .inf file sounds like the one i used
[11:12] <skys123> right
[11:12] <eternalswd> jacques, it's in System -> Administrator -> Synaptic Package Manager  once it loads, just do a search for vlc
[11:12] <RMorris84> mine was a broadcom
[11:12] <Andy> its a broadcom
[11:12] <Andy> yerh
[11:13] <skys123> 4318??
[11:13] <Andy> 4700
[11:13] <opexoc> Flannel: Generally, I am newbie in subject linux. I am only wondering is it possible. I don't really reinstall my kernel or something ever.
[11:13] <RMorris84> 4311 :)
[11:13] <skys123> yep that will go..with minimal issues..the 43xx are biaaatch
[11:13] <RMorris84> skys123: tell me about it!
[11:14] <Andy> ok
[11:14] <RMorris84> works like a charm though
[11:14] <skys123> yep..same here..
[11:14] <Andy> so i type that "sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils" in terminal?
[11:14] <skys123> yes
[11:14] <Andy> anything else?
[11:14] <skys123> nope
[11:14] <RMorris84> b4 in windows it would ALWAYS disconnect... ive had 100% since moving to ubuntu
[11:14] <Andy> and then in the networking tools i just connect to it right?
[11:14] <skys123> Andy: is your wireless using WPA??
[11:14] <Flannel> opexoc: No, I can't imagine it would be possible.  Without major rewrites of some stuff
[11:14] <Seveas> Andy, broadcom 4700? Is that wireless at all?
[11:14] <Andy> yerh it does use WPA
[11:15] <Andy> i think so
[11:15] <Andy> it is wireless
[11:15] <Andy> hold on
[11:15] <Seveas> Andy, do me a favor and put the output of lspci on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[11:15] <eternalswd> jacques, vlc will play most files that you will come across.  you can use it for now as you learn more about linux.  when you're more comfortable, you can try installing mplayer or if you like totem, you can learn how to get all the necessary codecs
[11:15] <skys123> Andy: you're using a gui right..as well?
[11:15] <Andy> i did that site
[11:15] <Andy> im getting the info now
[11:15] <Andy> a graphic user interfase??
[11:15] <Andy> huh?
[11:15] <Andy> im just in ubuntu
[11:15] <skys123> ie gnome
[11:16] <Andy> yes :)
[11:16] <jacques> etrtnalswd: thank you. but vlc isn't there
[11:16] <opexoc> Flannel: I want to execute something like that http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217657&highlight=kernel now... and I am wondering is it add some entry in my grub config stuff ( can I use my old kernel automatically) ?
[11:16] <Andy> lspci listing: Broadcom Corporation BCM94306 802.11g (rev 03)
[11:16] <RMorris84> jacques... are u sure im lookin at it
[11:16] <Andy> thats my card

[11:17] <DownSyndrom3> Is there a way to update firefox through terminal?
[11:17] <Andy> thats like the chip on the box its a Belkin F5D700
[11:17] <Seveas> Andy, that's 4306
[11:17] <Andy> sorry :(
[11:17] <jacques> ok i'm using ubuntu version 5.04
[11:17] <Seveas> should work fine with ndiswrapper
[11:17] <Flannel> opexoc: Yes, it should still allow you to boot your old kernel.  I didn't really look closely though.
[11:17] <jacques> does that mean i might not have it
[11:17] <Andy> and its the latest amd-64 if u need to know
[11:17] <Flannel> opexoc: but, yeah, it won't touch your old ones
[11:17] <Seveas> you need to blacklist bcm43xx though
[11:17] <nubio> Seveas: thanks for the bug report w/ attachment suggestion re: ltmodem helper script :)    in the meantime, what's a good place to post a fix script src - i suspect it could be of use to laptop users in developing world and those on the go
[11:18] <dejx> what the command line for power manegment ?
[11:18] <skys123> Andy: no problem.....there is really two ways to go on this... i can walk you through the ndis way
[11:18] <Seveas> AndreasBe, ah -- ndiswrapper and amd64 are not very good
[11:18] <Seveas> andy*
[11:18] <Andy> hold on sky
[11:18] <Andy> sky could u do me a favour?
[11:18] <Seveas> Andy, better try native bcm43xx for amd64
[11:18] <Andy> native?
[11:18] <Andy> huh!?
[11:18] <Andy> can u guys do me a big favour?
[11:18] <dv> anyone familiar with printing in Dapper?
[11:18] <Andy> write this stuff in a .txt file or something cause its just too much to write 4 me
[11:18] <opexoc> Flannel: ok so it looks quite secure. So, I will try it surely.
[11:19] <skys123> right....there is a bcm-fwcutter way or ndis....its documented...hang on..
[11:19] <ROCKSTEADY1964> dejx,   i'm a blonde when it comes to this stuff.i don't know where to look or start....can you help me?
[11:19] <dv> I have this weird problem with printing stuff here..
[11:19] <jacques> RMorris84: all i have under the letter v is:  vbetool, vim, vim-common, vino, vnc-common
[11:19] <Andy> ok whats the easiest most-linux-noob-friendly way of getting my card to work?
[11:19] <bhrobinson> skys123, wireless came up no prob
[11:19] <skys123> cool
[11:19] <Andy> skys123 u there?
[11:19] <skys123> yep
[11:19] <Andy> what do i need to do?
[11:20] <eternalswd> jaques, you probably need to enable universe and multiverse in the repositories list
[11:20] <dv> printing worked flawlessly before the last dist-upgrade. now it prints PJL stuff.
[11:20] <Andy> i go into ubuntu
[11:20] <Andy> run terminal
[11:20] <dv> is CUPS broken?
[11:20] <Andy> put the sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils
[11:20] <bhrobinson> skys123, you think I should order a new minipci, or do you think I should stick to the wireless card?
[11:20] <jacques> etrtnalswd: that i know i have done
[11:20] <Andy> and thats it?
[11:20] <dv> that is, it prints lines starting with "@PJL"
[11:20] <Andy> is there more?
[11:20] <RMorris84> jacques: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
[11:20] <jacques> do i just download it there
[11:21] <skys123> bhrobinson:if it aint broke...lol
[11:21] <bhrobinson> lmao
[11:21] <Andy> skys123!!!???
[11:21] <RMorris84> on the left look at ubuntu and it says ur options
[11:21] <RMorris84> command or graphical
[11:21] <skys123> Andy: okay....step by step
[11:21] <Andy> is that all i need to do? just do the command thing in terminal?
[11:21] <jacques> will do that thanx a stack
[11:21] <Andy> yay step by step
[11:21] <Andy> kk go :)
[11:21] <eternalswd> jacques, you might want to take a look at http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper
[11:21] <skys123> Andy: the ndis way right??

[11:23] <ISOLATEDViRuS> is your connection DHCP?
[11:23] <RMorris84> lol
[11:23] <Andy> bcmwl5.inf
[11:23] <Andy> got it
[11:23] <jacques> etrtnalswd: thanx will do. dapper is the new version? i have hoary
[11:23] <skys123> then the next step we need to do is to edit the blacklist..
[11:23] <eternalswd> jacques, there's alot of good stuff there for newbies
[11:23] <Andy> go on
[11:23] <skys123> so go to /etc/modprobe.d
[11:23] <Andy> in terminal?
[11:23] <Andy> i just type that in?
[11:23] <skys123> yes...all or most of this will be from terminal
[11:24] <Andy> kk hold on writing it down
[11:24] <eternalswd> jacques, there's no wiki on that site for hoary
[11:24] <skys123> cd /etc/modprobe.d
[11:24] <Andy> kk
[11:24] <jacques> etrtnalswd: thanx, will try to upgrade
[11:24] <Andy> change directory = cd?
[11:24] <eternalswd> jacques, I'm not sure, but you might need at least breezy for vlc
[11:24] <JohnRobert> anyone here ever got lirc running on dapper?
[11:25] <skys123> vi blacklist
[11:25] <Andy> ok step one: cd /etc/modprobe.d right?
[11:25] <Andy> then vi blacklist = step 2
[11:25] <skys123> right
[11:25] <skys123> right
[11:25] <Andy> ok written that down
[11:25] <Andy> next :)
[11:25] <skys123> add line at the end ... blacklist bcm43xx
[11:26] <Andy> how do i add a line?
[11:26] <skys123> hit i first
[11:26] <Andy> huh?
[11:26] <skys123> that will allow you to insert.
[11:26] <Andy> press the i key?
[11:26] <skys123> yep
[11:26] <Andy> ok hold on
[11:26] <Andy> step 3 = press i right?
[11:26] <skys123> right
[11:26] <eternalswd> jacques, I'm going now, but there are alot of helpful people here
[11:26] <Andy> ok then i type in????
[11:26] <Flannel> Andy: why not use nano instead of vi?  no convoluted keyboard combinations
[11:26] <skys123> scroll down to bottom
[11:27] <Andy> blacklist bcm43xx
[11:27] <skys123> right
[11:27] <nubio> Andy, better yet, learn to use vi editor somewhat, before screwing with files in your /etc
[11:27] <skys123> then hit escape key
[11:27] <Sennheiser> Hello.
[11:27] <Andy> hold on!!!!!!!
[11:27] <Andy> wait

[11:27] <Seveas> Andy, no
[11:28] <jacques> etrtnalswd: thanx, it was really cool of you
[11:28] <Andy> ok i guess thats a no
[11:28] <skys123> lol
[11:28] <Andy> so the line i add is

[11:28] <skys123> yep
[11:28] <Andy> ok step 6
[11:28] <Andy> lets go

[11:33] <Samuli^> :)
[11:33] <RMorris84> ill 5th that one
[11:33] <Andy> ok anything else skys123?
[11:33] <skys123> Andy: step 10... you can use synaptics for this part...
[11:33] <Andy> is that it :) ???
[11:33] <danl> DownSyndrom3: use the command: cp
[11:33] <DownSyndrom3> Thanks
[11:33] <carl0s> DownSyndrom3 cp /your/source/ /your/dest/
[11:33] <Andy> what is synaptics?
[11:33] <danl> DownSyndrom3: for more info type man: cp
[11:33] <danl> arg
[11:33] <raghu206> RMorris84, there i have only for internet and terminal but not for mplayer
[11:33] <Sennheiser> Dear god!
[11:33] <danl> man cp
[11:33] <carl0s> DownSyndrom3 cp /your/source/filename /your/dest/
[11:34] <tsubasaleguedin> someone know how to load a ttf file with pangoft2 in C
[11:34] <shawarma> Andy: synaptics is a type of input device (touchpads and such). synaptic is a tool for installing packages.
[11:34] <tsubasaleguedin> instead of use pango_font_description_set_family () with an aliase
[11:34] <Andy> ok
[11:34] <skys123> Andy: no.. go to System, Administration, Synaptic Package Manager...and use the installer
[11:34] <RMorris84> raghu206: use... right click the file and choose open with.. and it should use that program from now on
[11:34] <tsubasaleguedin> I need to load a TTF file from a path
[11:34] <Andy> and i install?
[11:34] <Sennheiser> Andy, Microsoft police have been notified and have dispatched "BOB" units to your location. Your fate will be worse than death.
[11:34] <carl0s> skys123 synaptic you meant... :P
[11:35] <Sennheiser> :P
[11:35] <Andy> oh noez!!!!
[11:35] <raghu206> RMorris84, but the problem is when i click the links while browsing
[11:35] <Andy> ok so i go to the Synaptic Package Manager
[11:35] <Sennheiser> Did you know that Microsoft writes the code for autopilot systems in all major airplanes?
[11:35] <raghu206> RMorris84, media links
[11:35] <Andy> and then? :)
[11:35] <Sennheiser> O_O
[11:35] <Andy> :O
[11:36] <Andy> soo...
[11:36] <skys123> Andy: install wpasupplicant and network-manager
[11:36] <RMorris84> on the internet?
[11:36] <Andy> whats the next step please :D
[11:36] <raghu206> RMorris84, yes on the internet
[11:36] <skys123> Andy: the network-manager will make your life a little easier..
[11:36] <Andy> yay!
[11:37] <Sennheiser> I have a question, I would like if someone could answer it for me....
[11:37] <Andy> ok so i install them
[11:37] <Sennheiser> When are we going to get Macintosh Windows 98?
[11:37] <Andy> written that down
[11:37] <skys123> then...
[11:37] <Andy> then :D
[11:37] <Andy> ?
[11:37] <skys123> Andy: you will need to be in the same directory that the inf file is in and run this command
[11:37] <Flannel> Sennheiser: take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:37] <Andy> hold on
[11:37] <Andy> wwait 1 second

[11:39] <Andy> hold on skys123
[11:39] <Andy> i know
[11:39] <Andy> i was just about to say

[11:39] <Andy> with a capital A
[11:40] <Andy> for Andy
[11:40] <Andy> when it should be lower
[11:40] <Flannel> sanket: what error do you get?
[11:40] <Andy> naaaaaaaa :P
[11:40] <Andy> oh well
[11:40] <carl0s> sanket it's a xorg.conf issue
[11:40] <RMorris84> raghu206, so when u click say a media file u want a diff program than what ur using to open the file?
[11:40] <Andy> ok step 12 :)
[11:40] <carl0s> mind at that
[11:40] <sanket> Flannel:cursor type 'cursor' not found
[11:40] <geekDuDimanche> Hi, is there someone which know a good tuto about 2.6.17 and iptables ?
[11:40] <skys123> Andy: now type sudo su
[11:40] <RMorris84> Andy: best 10 mins of reading you could do.. http://freeengineer.org/learnUNIXin10minutes.html
[11:40] <Andy> "sudo su"
[11:40] <skys123> Andy: yep
[11:40] <dejx> `'
[11:40] <Andy> ok got it
[11:40] <raghu206> RMorris84, yah but when i click a link on website
[11:41] <skys123> that will make you super user and you need to be very careful..
[11:41] <sanket> carl0s: how do i rectify it?
[11:41] <Andy> ok il be very careful
[11:41] <Andy> btw skys123
[11:41] <stefg> sanket: http://www.ubuntu.com/FixForUpgradeIssue
[11:41] <Andy> do u have an email
[11:41] <Andy> cause if i get stuck i might want u
[11:41] <carl0s> vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:41] <sanket> stefg: ohk tx, lemme chk
[11:41] <carl0s> and you do the stuff
[11:42] <carl0s> skys123 any update for me? :)
[11:42] <RMorris84> raghu206 gimme an example
[11:42] <Andy> skys123????
[11:42] <Flannel> skys123: don't do that, use sudo.  sudo -i or sudo -s
[11:42] <skys123> Andy: then type ndiswrapper -i bcm5.inf or whatever the bcm file is ...
[11:42] <ikonia> chaps, could anyone offer some help on how the X server is setup on the livecd running
[11:42] <Andy> kk
[11:42] <lupine_85> flannel: su is just as good
[11:42] <skys123> carl0s: nope...still searching..
[11:42] <ikonia> Im trying to use xhost to allow remote hosts to connect to it
[11:42] <carl0s> skys123 thx btw :))
[11:42] <lupine_85> (although sudo passwd is better than sudo su)
[11:43] <Flannel> sudo passwd is completely unneccesary
[11:43] <Andy> ok
[11:43] <carl0s> it's weird that the log says no synaptics and tpconfig say yeah! you have it!
[11:43] <skys123> Andy: then.... ndiswrapper -m
[11:43] <Andy> so i do the ndiswrapper thing
[11:43] <Andy> kk
[11:43] <skys123> that will load the module
[11:43] <Andy> ok got it
[11:43] <skys123> then ndiswrapper -l
[11:43] <skys123> that will list what is installed
[11:43] <Andy> is that a One or an L?
[11:43] <lupine_85> L
[11:43] <Andy> kk
[11:43] <skys123> right
[11:44] <raghu206> RMorris84, example when u click a link on the webpage let suppose the link is a mp3 extension media file by default totem is opening to play it i need to open it in mplayer
[11:44] <Andy> kk
[11:44] <lupine_85> having su as a backup is useful
[11:44] <sanket> stefg: i have seen that, its not that issue
[11:44] <skys123> then you can reboot and look for the light to light up
[11:44] <Andy> onto my 4th sticky note
[11:44] <sanket> stefg: its something else
[11:44] <lupine_85> sudo is relatively easy to break
[11:44] <Andy> what light?
[11:44] <Andy> network card?
[11:44] <skys123> the wireless light...
[11:44] <Andy> kk
[11:44] <Andy> what about connecting to my router?
[11:44] <Andy> do i just go to that network config thing
[11:44] <Andy> ?
[11:45] <Andy> i know how to do that :)
[11:45] <Andy> but
[11:45] <skys123> and use the network-manager which should be in the right hand corner of the screen to configure to router...with wpa...
[11:45] <Crazed> is there something like HLSW for linux ? :p
[11:45] <Andy> when it asks what type of password my network is
[11:45] <stefg> sanket: so what _exactly_ is happening? You get an error message or just a dark screen?

[11:49] <ISOLATEDViRuS> or read hebrew...
[11:49] <skys123> !hebrew
[11:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hebrew - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:49] <Blue-Omega> ISOLATEDViRuS, #ubuntu-il
[11:49] <ISOLATEDViRuS> preferably read hebrew, i need help.
[11:49] <vik> I'm just in the process of installing 6.06 alternate, and the terminal got borked while probing for X or something. There is nothing on the screen, but the install has continued for a bit - if I reboot, will it resume?
[11:49] <Andy> hmmm
[11:49] <sanket> stefg: its not the firforupgrade issue
[11:49] <Andy> skys123 got an email?
[11:49] <uscallesen> Can someone explain this:

[11:50] <Andy> i got gmail too :D

[11:50] <uscallesen> Now configuring VMware Player.  (This may take some time...)
[11:50] <Andy> ;)
[11:50] <skys123> Andy: achandrashekar@gmail.com
[11:50] <uscallesen> Configuring a bridged network for vmnet0.
[11:50] <uscallesen> Configuring a NAT network for vmnet8.
[11:50] <uscallesen> Probing for an unused private subnet (this can take some time)...
[11:50] <uscallesen> The subnet 192.168.235.0/255.255.255.0 appears to be unused.
[11:50] <uscallesen> The file /etc/vmware/vmnet8/dhcpd/dhcpd.conf that this program was about to
[11:50] <uscallesen> install already exists.  Overwrite? [yes] 
[11:50] <DownSyndrom3> Can ubuntu run .rpm files?
[11:50] <vik> uscallesen: use pastebin
[11:50] <Andy> ok thanks man :)
[11:50] <lupine_85> !alien
[11:50] <ubotu> rpm is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous).
[11:50] <Andy> cya later alligator
[11:50] <|thunder> anyone here use Democracy Player? Is it worth installing ?
[11:50] <skys123> !pastebin
[11:50] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[11:50] <DownSyndrom3> Thanks, lol
[11:51] <Andy> lol im australian :D
[11:51] <lupine_85> "quite dangerous" being a relative term
[11:51] <Andy> cya
[11:51] <lupine_85> most applications are "safe"
[11:51] <DownSyndrom3> Like limewire?
[11:51] <drick> anybody got songbird running?
[11:51] <lupine_85> (the major problems are the included scripts - they can't be converted properly)
[11:51] <lupine_85> never used limewire
[11:51] <sanket> drick: yes, its still beta
[11:51] <drick> is it worth it?
[11:51] <sanket> drick: not yet
[11:52] <drick> sanket : is it worth it?
[11:52] <drick> saket : oh, thanks man
[11:52] <sanket> drick: no, not yet
[11:52] <sanket> np
[11:52] <vik> should I try to continue the install 'blind'?
[11:52] <|thunder> how do I force a 32-bit deb too install on a 64-bit dapper ?
[11:52] <stefg> sanket: somehow your fonts got broken, so X won't start. try reinstalling or dpkg-reconfiguring them
[11:52] <sanket> stefg: which package?
[11:52] <DownSyndrom3> Java also uses a .rpm
[11:52] <lupine_85> |thunder: you don't if you can help it
[11:52] <drick> anybody knows of a good OSX like dock application?
[11:52] <RMorris84> jthunder... that doesnt sound like a good idea
[11:53] <sanket> drick: dock?
[11:53] <sanket> drick: to system tray?
[11:53] <drick> sanket : yeah, the one on the bottom of OSX, with moving icons...
[11:53] <lupine_85> if you're determined, then you need to edit the control file inside the control.tar.gz file inside the .deb file (which is actually an ar archive)
[11:53] <lupine_85> but I really wouldn't recommend it...
[11:54] <|thunder> im all about breaking my install if i learn something from it. my /home dir is safe on another partiton.
[11:54] <carl0s> skys123 i realized that
[11:54] <sanket> drick: dunno bout mac osx, maybe u r looking for gDesklets
[11:54] <skys123> carl0s: yep..
[11:54] <carl0s> xorg.conf module section didn't have load "synaptics"
[11:54] <carl0s> i added it
[11:54] <carl0s> but stil no luck
[11:54] <mcphail> |thunder: i think there is a "force-architecture" flag for dpkg
[11:54] <drick> sanket: yeah i tried that but the animation quality is a bit lacking...
[11:55] <Endain> How do you get to ntop's text interface?
[11:55] <vik> so the install didn't complete; what should I do to try to continue it?
[11:55] <sanket> drick: that is the only such app
[11:55] <vik> rescue broken system?
[11:56] <drick> sanket: thanks man... =)
[11:56] <sanket> drick: np
[11:56] <Ackeubu_> Is the help.ubuntu.com site down?
[11:56] <DownSyndrom3> lupine_85, are you supposed to do after you extract .deb files?
[11:56] <Ackeubu_> or is it just me_
[11:56] <lupine_85> --force-architecture is probably the best way to do it
[11:57] <stefg> sanket: apt-get install --reinstall xfonts-base xfonts-75dpi xfonts-100dpi
[11:57] <Ackeubu_> !whisper
[11:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about whisper - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:57] <lupine_85> as mcphail pointed out :)
[11:57] <sanket> stefg: ok thanx

[11:58] <lupine_85> edgy isn't exactly ready for prime-time ;)
[11:59] <soundray> Ackeubu_: try #ubuntu+1
[11:59] <Ackeubu_> huuh for EDGY?
[11:59] <soundray> !edgy
[11:59] <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
[11:59] <lupine_85> hence the "+1"

[11:59] <nox-Hand> Wiki.ubuntu.com is donwl! :o
[12:00] <sanket> !edgy
[12:00] <nox-Hand> down*
[12:00] <nox-Hand> Did anyone notice? :/
[12:00] <vik> I think I need to re-install after first install failed. Is there a way to install from the alternate CD without installing X?
[12:00] <lupine_85> yes. try the wayback machine? (www.archive.org)
[12:00] <lupine_85> might get lucky
[12:00] <soundray> vik: yes, server install. Follow the help screens at the first prompt after boot from CD.
[12:00] <Ackeubu_> thanks sanket
[12:01] <NemesisUK> whats the most intuitive cd/dvd burning software in ubuntu?
[12:01] <lupine_85> k3b...
[12:01] <carl0s> skys123 so i'm just like before
[12:01] <lupine_85> gnomebaker is "ok"
[12:01] <vik> soundray: and afterwards, install ubuntu-desktop should give the rest, or is there more?
[12:01] <skys123> carl0s: here is a snippet of my xorg..... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21771
[12:01] <sanket> NemesisUK: K3B
[12:01] <soundray> !burn
[12:01] <ubotu> CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, serpentine, graveman Nautilus cd burner (Gnome), gtoaster, xcdroast, cdrecord (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[12:01] <NemesisUK> lupine_85, yeah I think so too, was just wondering :)
[12:02] <soundray> vik: no, your plan is fine.
[12:02] <vik> NemesisUK: k3b is the best I've come across
[12:02] <carl0s> skys123 you don't have load "synaptics" too
[12:02] <vik> soundray: cool, thanks
[12:02] <carl0s> try :)
[12:02] <NemesisUK> vik, Ive tried the others and always come back to k3b
[12:03] <OmegaNine> !make
[12:03] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[12:03] <skys123> didnt..seem like i needed that...because...tpconfig would blow up at first...and then i dropped in the module like you and everything worked fine!
[12:03] <OmegaNine> Damn, dead link.
[12:03] <skys123> so im not sure you need it.
[12:03] <OmegaNine> Anyone remember the packedge I need for compilation?
[12:04] <mcphail> OmegaNine: build-essential
[12:04] <fahman> Hello, I have question regarding useage of my ubuntu workstation as an internet gateway for my windows laptop. On the ubuntu machine I have two network cards - one attached to dsl-modem, and second (with a static ip) connected to switch. In windows machine I have entered this static ip address as a gateway (subnet masks are identical). But I still cant access internet from my windows machine... help?
[12:04] <OmegaNine> mcphail: Thanks!
[12:04] <sanket> OmegaNine: buildutils ?
[12:04] <vik> fahman: did you set up NAT on the ubuntu machine?
[12:04] <fahman> no sir
[12:05] <vik> fahman: you need NAT
[12:05] <fahman> I just switched to ubuntu the other day and tried to find how to configure firewall or such, but am just too windows user
[12:05] <lupine_85> don't forget to enable IP forwarding as well
[12:05] <sanket> !proxy
[12:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about proxy - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:05] <kimo> !firewall
[12:05] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed with iptables (in the command line) or firestarter (gui, can also setup connection sharing)
[12:05] <fahman> IP forwarding - how do I enable it
[12:06] <kimo> fahman: got that ?
[12:06] <skys123> fahman: there is concept NAT or IP-Masquerading...that will help you...a google search for that concept will do it ..
[12:06] <fahman> ahhh
[12:06] <fahman> superb, thanks a bunch
[12:06] <lupine_85> sudo echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/forwarding
[12:06] <lupine_85> (or ipv6 if you've got it)
[12:07] <skys123> yep
[12:07] <skys123> thatll do it
[12:08] <nox-Hand> Hey
[12:08] <nox-Hand> Can someone help me with this: >>> http://paste.lisp.org/display/24809 Please?
[12:08] <lupine_85> for setting up NAT, you want sudo iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o ppp0 - j MASQUERADE
[12:09] <skys123> fahman: i believe fwbuilder will help with that too...its well documented...and book called ubuntu hacks has it all referenced...
[12:09] <lupine_85> (assuming the interface names are correct, and you don't have a static WAN IP)
[12:09] <DownSyndrom3> Where should I extract a .deb to?
[12:09] <lupine_85> anywhere you like
[12:09] <DownSyndrom3> Even if it has /usr/bin folders in it?
[12:09] <skys123> All right guys...time for some zzzs....see y'all l8r.
[12:10] <lupine_85> a .devbcontains control.tar.gz, data.tar.gz, and "debian-binary"
[12:10] <DownSyndrom3> Yeah. In the data.tar.gz it has /usr/bin in it, and I don't know where to extract that
[12:10] <lupine_85> data.tar.gz contains the fs (so you'd extract to / if you don't mind having no way to uninstall it)
[12:11] <nox-Hand> Can someone help with an apt error? http://paste.lisp.org/display/24809
[12:12] <mcphail> DownSyndrom3: why are you trying to extract a .deb???
[12:12] <DownSyndrom3> So I can install the software. Unless you do somthing else to install it
[12:12] <NemesisUK> nox-Hand, try apt-get install libxcursor-dev and then the package you want
[12:13] <mcphail> DownSyndrom3: sudo dpkg -i file.deb
[12:13] <lupine_85> you've been given two different solutions :)
[12:13] <mcphail> DownSyndrom3: or better, do it automatically from the repos with apt-get
[12:13] <lupine_85> (--force-architecture, or editing the control file directly)
[12:13] <Hexidigital> can anyone recommend a VoIP Fax software?
[12:13] <lupine_85> mcphail: he's after installing a package of the wrong arch
[12:13] <lupine_85> (I know...)
[12:13] <mcphail> lupine_85: ok
[12:14] <DownSyndrom3> Where would I have to put my .deb then if I was going to do apt-get
[12:14] <DeeTahPanLtah> err
[12:14] <lupine_85> you'd use dpkg, not apt-get
[12:14] <nox-Hand> NemesisUK, Will try now
[12:14] <DeeTahPanLtah> if you have .deb,you should do dpkg -i <filename>
[12:14] <mcphail> DownSyndrom3: i didn't realise you were installing on a different architecture
[12:14] <ROCKSTEADY1964> what is a sub for limewire on linux
[12:14] <stefg> !limwire
[12:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about limwire - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:15] <stefg> !limewire
[12:15] <ubotu> limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install !java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider !FrostWire as an alternative.
[12:15] <lastnode> ROCKSTEADY1964, frostwire is good
[12:15] <nox-Hand> NemesisUK,   libxcursor-dev: Depends: libxfixes-dev but it is not going to be installed
[12:15] <mcphail> DownSyndrom3: use dpkg with the force-architecture flag as above and cross your fingers
[12:15] <lastnode> ROCKSTEADY1964, id advise you to use frostwire, it's the same as limewire, but w/o the adware
[12:15] <DeeTahPanLtah> anyone knows why in my repo's there isn't any gset-compiz even if i modified sources.list?
[12:15] <ROCKSTEADY1964> thanks
[12:15] <Relisxc> ROCKSTEADY: bittorrent?
[12:15] <DownSyndrom3> !java
[12:15] <ubotu> java is an object oriented programming language. To install a java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the Multiverse repository
[12:15] <stefg> DeeTahPanLtah: did you apt-get update?
[12:16] <mcphail> DeeTahPanLtah: i don't think that exists or is needed any more
[12:16] <lastnode> DownSyndrom3, use /msg ubotu java next time, please
[12:16] <DeeTahPanLtah> yeah i did
[12:16] <DownSyndrom3> Okay
[12:17] <ROCKSTEADY1964> i thought that only works on windows
[12:18] <lupine_85> plenty of bittorent clients for linux
[12:18] <lupine_85> not sure about GNOME ones, though (I use ktorrent)
[12:18] <ROCKSTEADY1964> java ...i mean
[12:19] <lupine_85> oh, right. Yes - lots of JVMs and JREs for linux
[12:19] <mcphail> ROCKSTEADY1964: what would be the point of java if it only worked on one platform?
[12:19] <gan|y|med> hi. can anybody please tell me why ubuntu brings ksynaptics, which needs the synaptics driver 0.14.4, but installs version 0.14.3? (there is 0.14.4-1 available for xfree86)
[12:19] <lupine_85> what's the point of java, anyway? ;)
[12:19] <Relisxc> I hate java
[12:19] <mcphail> lupine_85: :)
[12:19] <ROCKSTEADY1964> trying to switch
[12:20] <Relisxc> Saying java's good because it works on both OS's is like saying anal sex is good because it works on both sexes.
[12:20] <ROCKSTEADY1964> sound not working either
[12:20] <ROCKSTEADY1964> yuck
[12:21] <extern> I hate java too
[12:21] <vinnybinny> i hate java as well but i do like azureus
[12:21] <joachim-n> I need help installing vmware
[12:21] <vinnybinny> the cvs version
[12:21] <Relisxc> Azureus takes up too much resources
[12:22] <Relisxc> I dont see why people can't use bittorrent or bittornado
[12:22] <vinnybinny> anyone running compiz?
[12:22] <ROCKSTEADY1964> i'm a blonde when it comes to this tech stuff
[12:22] <mcphail> Relisxc: btdownload collapses in a smouldering heap if there are too many files in the torrent
[12:23] <lupine_85> now that you mention it, ktorrent has that problem too
[12:23] <mcphail> never had that problem with azureus
[12:23] <vinnybinny> no one running xgl/compiz ?
[12:23] <skysong> hello all
[12:23] <mcphail> vinnybinny: there is a channel for xgl questions
[12:23] <lupine_85> not good for a production desktop ;)
[12:23] <vinnybinny> nah it's not a xgl problem
[12:24] <mcphail> vinnybinny: and compiz :)
[12:24] <skysong> i tried to install ubuntu 6.06, and im having problems with eagle-usb
[12:24] <nox-Hand>  libxcursor-dev: Depends: libxfixes-dev but it is not going to be installed |||| can someone help here?
[12:24] <vinnybinny> it's more of the mplayer firefox plugin problem
[12:24] <gan|y|med> is there any updated (>= 0.14.1) package of the synaptics driver for dapper?
[12:24] <vinnybinny> hah
[12:24] <skysong> i cant follow the readme, anyone pls
[12:24] <carl0s> mcphail which one ? :)
[12:26] <mcphail> vinnybinny: best ask your question...
[12:26] <vinnybinny> mcphall: setup X to have xgl/compiz on :1 and xv/kwin on :0
[12:26] <vinnybinny> everything works beautifully

[12:27] <vinnybinny> sorry 3:30am
[12:27] <nox-Hand> anyone?
[12:28] <procrastinator> lspci doesn't detect my saa7134 tv-card anymore, and dmesg reports something about a pci interrupt at IRQ 11 -- could it have something to do with that?
[12:28] <mcphail> vinnybinny: you'll need to be a bit more specific than "busted", but remember that xgl/compiz is alpha software and breaks _many_ things
[12:29] <procrastinator> specifically; ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:0c.0[A]  -> Link [LNKA]  -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11
[12:29] <vinnybinny> mcphail: it will not play a video anymore, it will buffer it but it just fails completely at playing it
[12:29] <skysong> plsssssssss anyoneeee
[12:30] <skysong> :(
[12:30] <mcphail> vinnybinny: do you get any useful error messages if you start firefox from a terminal?
[12:30] <linuxboy> is wiki.ubuntu.com down?
[12:30] <skysong> linuxboy
[12:30] <linuxboy> skysong
[12:30] <skysong> i cant find what im looking for there
[12:31] <skysong> thats why i came here
[12:31] <linuxboy> skysong: ok
[12:31] <skysong> 1. im extremely new to ubuntu
[12:31] <vinnybinny> mcphail:checking to see if we need to make a button
[12:31] <vinnybinny> n->url=http://ebaumsworld.com/2006/08/badhillfinishline.wmv
[12:31] <vinnybinny> url=/2006/08/badhillfinishline.wmv
[12:31] <vinnybinny> href=(null)
[12:31] <vinnybinny> that's it
[12:31] <skysong> 2. that eagleusb gave me trouble with suse so i shifted to slackware
[12:31] <skysong> but it seems aiglx works easier with ubuntu, thats why im trying
[12:32] <stefg> procrastinator: kernel-version?
[12:32] <OmegaNine> !ati
[12:32] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:32] <vinnybinny> mcphail: nothing really useful
[12:32] <OmegaNine> LOL why do none of these links work
[12:33] <opexoc> do you know which package should I install when before the log screen appears I get communication that I don't have some theme called human ? ( I downloaded some packages which has "theme" in name, but problem still exists )
[12:33] <mcphail> vinnybinny: and it worked before installing compiz/xgl?
[12:33] <procrastinator> stefg: 2.6.15-26
[12:33] <procrastinator> stefg: -386
[12:33] <exs> I'm building a computer for my brother... I want it to be ubuntu compatiable.. What's my best bet for choosing the components?
[12:33] <vinnybinny> mcphail: yes
[12:33] <stefg> procrastinator: hmm... that should work. only 2.6.17 has a typo in it that busts saa 7134 support
[12:34] <camila> #maceio
[12:34] <lupine_85> exs: don't buy anything too exotic, and stick with nvidia :)
[12:34] <OmegaNine> exs: http://www.linuxcompatible.org/compatibility.html
[12:34] <vinnybinny> exs: try this link http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Main_Page
[12:34] <stefg> procrastinator: what do dmesg and lspci say?
[12:34] <mcphail> vinnybinny: xgl is an incomplete compatibility layer. I suspect mplayer will be asking for geometry from the xserver which won't be getting reported. If you ask on #ubuntu-xgl someone may have a workaround
[12:34] <OmegaNine> I agree, ATI is pissing me off.
[12:34] <exs> Thanks a lot you guys
[12:34] <OmegaNine> >:(
[12:35] <vinnybinny> mcphail: thank you
[12:35] <vinnybinny> i agree as well
[12:35] <mcphail> vinnybinny: sorry i can't be of more help. But at the end of the day remember that xgl doesn't really work very well.
[12:36] <vinnybinny> i ran out and picked up a new nvidia card just to solve headaches
[12:36] <procrastinator> stefg: lspci says nothing about it since it disappeared, and dmesg doesn't say any interesting stuff other than that oci interrupt thingy
[12:36] <OmegaNine> < -- New laptop, ATI was my choice
[12:36] <OmegaNine> the NVIDIA GO stuff really sucks, but I will never buy a desktop ATI card ever
[12:36] <procrastinator> stefg: I'll just paste it at pastebin to see if you can find anything I can't
[12:37] <fahman> mwuahahahaa its alive.... lupine_85, kimo thanks a bunch, ip forwarding works perfect now
[12:37] <gan|y|med> is anybody using enhanced touchpad functions (synaptic)?
[12:37] <stefg> procrastinator: but it worked before? ... card broken? try different pci-slot... firmware issues?
[12:37] <mcphail> vinnybinny: the other issue is that the maintainer of the ubuntu compiz packages is prone to breaking standard system packages
[12:37] <vinnybinny> mcphail: it's okay, im actually surpised at how amazing and stable it' is so far and the work arounds i was able to figure out, one little plugin isn't to much of a bother to me
[12:37] <lupine_85> stick it in your initscripts
[12:37] <OmegaNine> gan|y|med: Define advanced
[12:37] <procrastinator> stefg: perhaps card broken, I hope not. I'll try a different pci-slot
[12:38] <vinnybinny> mcphail: It's okay, nothing makes me jump to much after that main repo xorg update a bit ago
[12:38] <procrastinator> stefg: http://pastebin.com/777107
[12:38] <mcphail> vinnybinny: yes, that was a bad one
[12:38] <vinnybinny> im just glad to be xp free
[12:39] <gan|y|med> OmegaNine: i would like to use ksynaptics... advanced like advanced scrolling blabla. but the version of the  synaptics driver is 0.14.3 instead of 0.14.4
[12:39] <neutrinomass> the wiki is down, right ?
[12:39] <stefg> procrastinator: you're right, nothing remarkable in there, except the total absence of the card being noticed
[12:39] <mcphail> neutrinomass: a few people have mentioned problems recently
[12:40] <procrastinator> stefg: okay. What did you mean by firmware issues?
[12:40] <OmegaNine> gan|y|med: Wierd, it works fine on my lappy.  You using a dell?
[12:40] <neutrinomass> mcphail: It doesn't work right now .... it was up ~7 hours ago
[12:40] <Kamping_Kaiser> neutrinomass, yes
[12:40] <robin_> Hi
[12:40] <lupine_85> anyone got any experience with setting up a repository?
[12:40] <Kamping_Kaiser> neutrinomass, it went down about 6~ ago
[12:40] <Kamping_Kaiser> you probably ctrashsed it ;)
[12:40] <mcphail> neutrinomass: by recently, i meant "in the past hour or so" :)
[12:40] <Kamping_Kaiser> lupine_85, whta degree?
[12:40] <stefg> procrastinator: some cards need a firmware uploaded to them at boot to function properly. But this is not the case with you, you'd get a notice in dmesg
[12:40] <Kamping_Kaiser> hi robin_
[12:41] <robin_> :D
[12:41] <lupine_85> just a simple one with a few packages
[12:41] <lupine_85> http://ubuntu.lupine.me.uk/dists
[12:41] <Kamping_Kaiser> robin_, :)
[12:41] <neutrinomass> mcphail: Heh, ok :-) I hope the webmaster knows it at least :-)
[12:41] <Kamping_Kaiser> lupine_85, if you want to set up one try falcone
[12:41] <mcphail> lupine_85: Seveas runs his own repo here
[12:41] <procrastinator> stefg: okay, I'll try a different pci slot then
[12:42] <lupine_85> for some reason, the ralink-drivers-2.6.15-26-686 drivers aren't showing up
[12:42] <robin_> There's a patch for Battlefield vietnam for linux, but is it distrubuted for it somewhere?
[12:42] <lupine_85> falcone?
[12:42] <lupine_85> I'll take a look. thanks
[12:42] <carl0s> so nobody with ppc and synaptics two finger scroll issue expect me?
[12:42] <Kamping_Kaiser> *falcon
[12:42] <procrastinator> stefg: I'll be back in a reboot
[12:42] <Kamping_Kaiser> !info falcon
[12:42] <stefg> c u
[12:42] <ubotu> falcon: Falcon repository creator. In component extras, is optional. Version 1.5.4-0ubuntu1 (dapper-seveas), package size 173 kB, installed size 492 kB
[12:42] <gan|y|med> OmegaNine: no. ksynaptics tells me it needs version 0.14.4 so that's why, i think, nothing happens when i change any option
[12:42] <neutrinomass> carl0s: Are you sure it's enabled in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[12:43] <mtholdenss> can someone help me bridge a wireless net connection to my mac from ubuntu?
[12:43] <carl0s> neutrinomass with Option "TwoFingerScroll" "1"?
[12:43] <OmegaNine> gan|y|med: Never delt with it, sorry i cant help
[12:44] <gan|y|med> thx anyway
[12:44] <lupine_85> do you know what URL dapper-seveas is on? wiki is down :(
[12:46] <neutrinomass> carl0s: VertTwoFingerScroll    "True"       and under that   HorizTwoFingerScroll   "True"
[12:46] <carl0s> trying
[12:46] <neutrinomass> carl0s:  Both are under Options, with tabs before "True" and each on its own line
[12:46] <carl0s> :)
[12:47] <neutrinomass> carl0s: Backup your old one first though :-)
[12:47] <carl0s> no need
[12:47] <carl0s> i can use vi from command line
[12:47] <carl0s> :P
[12:47] <neutrinomass> Great :)
[12:47] <procrastinator> stefg: no luck :(
[12:48] <stefg> procrastinator: so you had it working before?
[12:48] <procrastinator> stefg: yes.
[12:48] <fredl> 'ello :) Anybody here use camorama?
[12:49] <stefg> procrastinator: what happened then that it stopped?
[12:49] <fredl> When I start up camorama, it says it's using 'Medion 7134' which I think is somehow my TV tuner.
[12:49] <procrastinator> stefg: and it stopped working when I was doing a lot of other stuff, switching the sound card was one of them
[12:49] <fredl> I'd really like it to use my Logitech Quickcam Messenger but don't know how to do that.
[12:50] <carl0s> neutrinomass not working.
[12:50] <procrastinator> stefg: but both have been working simultaneously, and removing the sound card didn't do anything either
[12:51] <lastnode> what's the best way to wipe a disk completely? - dd if=/dev/zerio of=/dev/hda 512 ?
[12:51] <neutrinomass> carl0s: Mind pastebinning your xorg.conf ?
[12:51] <bbrazil> lastnode: shred or wipe
[12:51] <procrastinator> stefg: so it seems that there's no direct connection between the two
[12:51] <noiano> hello everybody
[12:51] <carl0s> neutrinomass tell me where i'll do
[12:52] <stefg> procrastinator: hmm... i was about to suggest to remove the sound.card... have you updated the DMI-table in BIOS
[12:52] <neutrinomass> !pastebin
[12:52] <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)
[12:52] <lastnode> bbrazil, sample syntax? i want to make sure it destroys _all bytes_, because im giving this machine back to work
[12:52] <procrastinator> stefg: nope. what is it and how do I do it?
[12:52] <carl0s> !pastebin
[12:52] <noiano> is there anyone that wants to help me with amarok? it doesn't play anything
[12:52] <neutrinomass> Well, no worries ... :) Take a look at the link ubotu pasted ...
[12:52] <carl0s> k
[12:52] <mtholdenss> hey how would i add compiz plugins to cgwd, appearantly cdwd is a better option to window decorator
[12:53] <stefg> procrastinator: at boot time go to the bios and 'reset configuartion data'
[12:53] <procrastinator> stefg: and that would be it?
[12:53] <fredl> if there's no files in /proc/video/quickcam, does that mean the quickcam module didn't recognize my cam?
[12:53] <stefg> procrastinator: but that looks like an irq-conflict
[12:54] <procrastinator> stefg: and that wouldn't help resolve one as such?
[12:54] <stefg> procrastinator: in your dmesg was a little section about 'pci-quirks' read that again carefully
[12:54] <bbrazil> lupine_85: wipe /dev/had (very dangerous command)
[12:54] <bbrazil> lupine_85: *hda
[12:54] <Gyuszk> guys, how can I install "msttcorefonts" ?
[12:54] <stefg> procrastinator: that's just a small hope tht your irq-assigns will sort out themselves by resseting the conf in the bios
[12:55] <carl0s> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21779 neutrinomass
[12:55] <lupine_85> ?
[12:55] <lupine_85> wipe is ok
[12:55] <carl0s> i put keyboard stuff too cause i'm having trouble with @ and # key on my powerbook 12"
[12:56] <Kamping_Kaiser> Gyuszk, enable multiveres, and install it however you like :)
[12:56] <lupine_85> but seriously, the only way to be sure data can't be recovered is the method involving fire and a hammer
[12:56] <neutrinomass> carl0s: Stupid point - you did restart X, right ?
[12:56] <carl0s> millions of times.
[12:56] <procrastinator> stefg: okay. I can't really find that section, but it says "PCI: If a device doesn't work, try "pci=routeirq".  If it helps, post a report" a place
[12:56] <carl0s> neutrinomass even rebooted the system
[12:57] <procrastinator> stefg: oh, found it now
[12:57] <exs> DOes system76 ship to UK?
[12:57] <Naosz> <- believer in the fire & hammer method
[12:59] <neutrinomass> carl0s: I'm only asking because you never left IRC ... anyway, I don't know what's wrong :( I doubt it's the formatting ....
[12:59] <carl0s> neutrinomass i'm on another mac
[12:59] <bbrazil> lupine_85: only if the fire reaches the fermi level (~400C)
[12:59] <carl0s> :)
[01:00] <Naosz> lol
[01:00] <Gyuszk> Kamping_Kaiser, thx
[01:00] <carl0s> and what about keyboard neutrinomass can you help?
[01:00] <Kamping_Kaiser> Gyuszk, np
[01:00] <procrastinator> stefg: well, I'll just try the BIOS DMI-table thingy
[01:00] <procrastinator> seeya
[01:00] <neutrinomass> carl0s: Nope, no idea - I only popped in the synaptics discussion because I have a synaptics touchpad :-)
[01:00] <carl0s> neutrinomass cool
[01:01] <manopulus> hi, have issues with debootstrap. after installing of dapper, it caoont finish configuring for few packages (base-install and so). all ok for breezy and edgy, but i need dapper at my machine ;)
[01:03] <fredl> GRRRR, anybody use qc-usb-utils?
[01:05] <warlock> Is there a way to delete all files starting with "kz_" in a specefic dir?
[01:05] <warlock> anyone? :()
[01:05] <dejx> rm -rf kz_*
[01:05] <strangy> find . -name "kz_*" | xargs rm -rf :)) or simply rm -rf kz_*
[01:06] <warlock> ok :)
[01:06] <warlock> let me try it
[01:06] <warlock> thanks guys ;)
[01:07] <dejx> np
[01:07] <strangy> np
[01:07] <strangy> compiz + xgl is cool ... i set that up today :)
[01:07] <procrastinator> stefg: no worky.
[01:08] <dejx> strangy,
[01:08] <dejx> really?!
[01:08] <dejx> what kind of computer do you have
[01:08] <warlock> is there a way to print out all files in a dir into a .txt, like:
[01:08] <warlock> file1.zip
[01:08] <procrastinator> stefg: any other suggestions?
[01:08] <warlock> file2.zip
[01:08] <bhrobinson> !divx > bhrobinson
[01:08] <strangy> dejx AMD64 3200+, ATI X600 128 MB, 1GB RAM
[01:08] <procrastinator> warlock: ls > file
[01:08] <stefg> procrastinator: i thought that... something is eating too many irq's.. try disabling whatever is reasonable
[01:08] <dejx> ah, strong
[01:09] <dejx> warlock,  i dont understand you
[01:09] <danielmadsen> does somebody know if there is any software for linux such as pc anywhere?
[01:09] <warlock> I mean:
[01:09] <strangy> but it is really annoying that alt + tab only works for non minimized windows
[01:09] <warlock> I wish to print all files in /my/dir/ into a .txt
[01:09] <warlock> so all files in /my/dir are in a .txt
[01:09] <dejx> strangy,  thats lame.
[01:09] <procrastinator> stefg: only the ethernet and the tv card is left now
[01:09] <dejx> cant it set diffrently?
[01:09] <Ivanowitch> warlock: ls > file.txt
[01:09] <strangy> and wine applications dont have the window frame
[01:10] <dejx> ls > file.text
[01:10] <strangy> the _ o X buttons
[01:10] <procrastinator> warlock: ls /my/dir > file.txt
[01:10] <danielmadsen> does anybody know if there is something like pcanywhere for linuz
[01:10] <danielmadsen> mean linux
[01:10] <strangy> danielmadsen, what pcanywhere does ?
[01:10] <procrastinator> warlock perhaps put the -l switch on ls
[01:10] <stefg> procrastinator: still another pci slot... don't use the direct neighbour, go 2 or three slots away
[01:11] <procrastinator> stefg: okay
[01:11] <procrastinator> seeya
[01:11] <warlock> hmm let me try
[01:11] <extern> I'm trying to run one application and I get this error: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory, but I have that file in /usr/lib/
[01:11] <warlock> just in a sec guys
[01:11] <extern> and I tried to put it in the same folder as the binary
[01:11] <extern> but it still doesn't run
[01:12] <danielmadsen> pcanywhere enable you to remote controll a computer
[01:13] <danielmadsen> I which to controll my linux computer which should be a fileserver from my windows computer
[01:13] <mcphail> danielmadsen: use freenx or vnc
[01:13] <mtholdenss> but wouldve been the best, cgwd themer or window decorator?
[01:13] <mcphail> danielmadsen: (or plain old ssh from the command line)
[01:13] <noiano> nobody can help me with amarok? it doesn't play for example mp3 even if gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 is installed
[01:13] <strangy> danielmadsen, there is vncm freenx for graphicl login or ssh for text-based
[01:13] <strangy> vnc
[01:14] <lastnode> someone mentioned 'shred' to completely kill a disk. are there other alternatives?
[01:14] <Kamping_Kaiser> dban
[01:15] <Kamping_Kaiser> dariks boot and nuke, its a floppy/cd
[01:15] <Hexidigital> danielmadsen::   if you are familiar with CLI, use PuTTY
[01:15] <mcphail> lastnode: you could overwrite it repeatedly with dd, but the inly 100% way is to destroy the disk
[01:15] <danielmadsen> i dont get it what do you mean?
[01:15] <lastnode> mcphail, i need to give the laptop back to my company.
[01:16] <frandavid100> hiya... do you know any good soft to convert all my mp3 to ogg, with good quality? thanks.
[01:16] <lastnode> mcphail, so dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda 512 should do it?
[01:16] <Hexidigital> danielmadsen::   download Putty (google), and you can SSH into your webserver (installing openssh-server, of course)
[01:16] <neutrinomass> frandavid100: It's generally not a good idea... you will lose quality. Keep all your mp3s as mp3s and just use ogg from now on ...
[01:16] <danielmadsen> what?
[01:16] <mcphail> lastnode: yes, or write random data. Read this for a laugh: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17604858&page=1&pp=30
[01:17] <procrastinator> stefg: still no luck
[01:17] <lastnode> mcphail, write /dev/random ?
[01:17] <danielmadsen> I would like to remote controll it like i was in front of my linux computer.. and not ftpo
[01:17] <Hexidigital> danielmadsen::   do you use command line?
[01:17] <Hexidigital> !usenames
[01:17] <ubotu> Please prefix what you're saying with a name to avoid confusion. See !tab
[01:18] <frandavid100> that's a shame, most albums I can find are in mp3 format
[01:18] <procrastinator> danielmadsen: you can use vnc, but it's insecure
[01:18] <mcphail> lastnode: you'd get on better reading from /dev/urandom
[01:18] <lastnode> mcphail, cool. it'll take a while no? 40 gig dislk
[01:18] <mcphail> lastnode: yes, and you really need to write several times

[01:19] <gnomefreak> hello
[01:19] <mcphail> lastnode: reading from /dev/zero seems much faster than reading from /dev/urandom though
[01:19] <lastnode> mcphail, all in all, it should take a few hours to wipe the disk once, no?
[01:19] <danielmadsen> I would like to have a graphial view such a remote destop in windows
[01:19] <procrastinator> danielmadsen, yes, that's what you'll get with vnc
[01:20] <danielmadsen> oki and how do I do it?
[01:20] <Hexidigital> danielmadsen::   for windows, download VNCViewer
[01:20] <mcphail> lastnode: i can "zero" a 80gig laptop drive in about an hour (iirc)
[01:20] <danielmadsen> oki so just download vncviewer?
[01:20] <lastnode> mcphail, oh sweet
[01:20] <Hexidigital> danielmadsen::   then you have to Alt+F2 on your linux box, and run vino-preferences
[01:20] <Hexidigital> danielmadsen::   to configure it
[01:20] <danielmadsen> oki..
[01:20] <procrastinator> danielmadsen: on the box you'd like to connect to, go to system->settings->remote desktop

[01:25] <lasindi> Hi all, I've been googling, but I still can't figure out why this is. From what I understand, setuid shell scripts are a security risk, but setuid binaries are not. Why is this true?
[01:25] <mcphail> lastnode: poor guy
[01:25] <DeeTahPanLtah> lasindi: it is not.
[01:25] <danielmadsen> do I have to do anything with the linux computer in order to enble vcnviewer
[01:25] <DeeTahPanLtah> lasindi: anyways,if you'd chown them to root and let normal users edit,it's extreme risk
[01:26] <DeeTahPanLtah> danielmadsen: afaik you just apt-get install xvncviewer if it's not installed yet
[01:26] <DeeTahPanLtah> danielmadsen: im using xvncviewer myself
[01:26] <lastnode> mcphail, i just read the first page. did he sell it? :)
[01:27] <MMXGN> I can't get my wireless net up no matter how I tried :/
[01:27] <MMXGN> Can someone help?
[01:27] <robin_> Hi
[01:27] <mcphail> lastnode: don't know - didn't read far enough. Good marketing for his disk though...
[01:27] <robin_> does anyone remember me from yesterday when I wanted 2 install postal2
[01:27] <robin_> How did I do then
[01:27] <lasindi> DeeTahPanLtah: yes, if you allow them to edit it, I can see the risk, but the risk would also be there for binaries. Why won't a setuid script actually run as root though?
[01:28] <jimbo> Could anyone tell me why xserver would suddenly fail to find the display?
[01:28] <MMXGN> anybody? I have the wireless card working, but I just cant connect to my router
[01:28] <robin_> how can I allow terminal to we
[01:28] <robin_> rite
[01:28] <robin_> to HDD
[01:28] <lastnode> mcphail, :)
[01:28] <gath_> jimbo - read the Important Notice on ubuntu.com
[01:28] <DeeTahPanLtah> lasindi: if there's a need,do it. just keep extreme caution not to allow users to write/read
[01:28] <lastnode> MMXGN, what's the wifi card
[01:28] <robin_> nobody knows?
[01:29] <DeeTahPanLtah> robin_: utfg,only tip ;p
[01:29] <MMXGN> lasindi, airport
[01:29] <DeeTahPanLtah> bb
[01:29] <rambo3> whats the synaptic shortcut from cli
[01:29] <MMXGN> on an imac
[01:29] <MMXGN> however iwconfig shows me that the wireless extensions are up
[01:29] <gath_> jimbo, it was a bad update a couple of days ago; i had the same problem; just sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and it'll probably work fine again
[01:29] <lasindi> MMXGN: what about airport?
[01:29] <lastnode> MMXGN, System - >Admin -> Networking
[01:29] <MMXGN> lasindi, cant do that :/
[01:30] <robin_> how can I enable file writing in terminal
[01:30] <OmegaNine> !compiz
[01:30] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[01:30] <DeeTahPanLtah> robin_: chmod +w <filename> ? ;p
[01:30] <MMXGN> I am using edgy eft since its the only ubuntu that doesnt make the system freeze
[01:30] <strangy> OmegaNine, http://www.tectonic.co.za/view.php?id=916 thats how i got it working
[01:30] <MMXGN> and network-admin doesnt show anything
[01:31] <lasindi> DeeTahPanLtah: I'm trying to do that, but it won't run as root even though root is the owner
[01:31] <strangy> OmegaNine, that was the simplest procedure to get it working without messing around with system wide configuration
[01:31] <jimbo> thank gath_ that is exactly what i was looking for, very confused for a while there.
[01:31] <Ventury> list
[01:31] <Ventury> .
[01:31] <philipsmith> How do I make RealPlayer my default player?
[01:31] <OmegaNine> strangy: AIT or NVIDIA?
[01:32] <strangy> OmegaNine, ATI
[01:32] <strangy> X600
[01:32] <OmegaNine> Sweet!
[01:32] <OmegaNine> Thanks big!
[01:32] <gath_> jimbo, you're not the only one! I was complete puzzled, too
[01:32] <MMXGN> any ideas how to do it from console?
[01:32] <strangy> OmegaNine, just to say that you edit .xsession file not .Xsession as it is written in the howto
[01:32] <exs> ubuntu isn't playing mp4's... where do I get the codec?
[01:33] <fredl> Hmm, got remote control to work, got webcam to work, skype, ekiga... what else can I do today...
[01:33] <strangy> because you already have .xsession and gdm looks for that file not for .Xsession
[01:33] <DeeTahPanLtah> where can i get compile-ready kernel sources with .config file with ubuntu default settings?
[01:33] <fredl> I wish I knew how to hook up my Wacom Penpal
[01:33] <danielmadsen> does anyone know how to use vncviewer from a windows computer in order to conect to a linux?
[01:33] <OmegaNine> strangy: Right on.  Good to know, that would much me up for sure :P
[01:33] <DeeTahPanLtah> !mp3 > exs
[01:33] <exs> thanks
[01:33] <lupine_85> DTPL: "make oldconfig"
[01:33] <DeeTahPanLtah> where can i get compile-ready kernel sources with .config file with ubuntu default settings?
[01:33] <lupine_85> in any kernel source directory
[01:34] <DeeTahPanLtah> oh,really? ;P
[01:34] <davin> Hi, I want to setup a FTP server on my linux box for transferring files between PC's on my home lan, how do I go about doing it?
[01:34] <lupine_85> (assuming you're running a ubuntu default kernel atm)
[01:34] <gath_> davin, just sudo apt-get proftpd
[01:34] <lasindi> DeeTahPanLtah: apt-get install linux-source
[01:34] <fredl> does anybody here have a Wacom PenPal?
[01:34] <DeeTahPanLtah> okay,thanks
[01:34] <gath_> davin, it'll be installed started up automatically.. username is the user you're logged in with and ditto pasword
[01:35] <DeeTahPanLtah> lasindi: is it preconfigured to work with usb stuff?
[01:35] <lasindi> DeeTahPanLtah: it'll be sitting as a tarball in /usr/src, which you can extract. The .config file will be in /boot, name "config-($uname -r)"
[01:35] <davin> gath_: thanks, will look at it now
[01:35] <fredl> no... I don't think I have a serial port.....
[01:35] <gath_> davin, you're welcome
[01:35] <DeeTahPanLtah> okay...
[01:35] <gath_> davin, it's actually extremely easy :)
[01:35] <lasindi> DeeTahPanLtah: that config file will have whatever stuff Ubuntu has enabled, so it should have USB
[01:36] <davin> gath_: is hosting a ftp server bandwidth-extensive?
[01:36] <strangy> OmegaNine, and the link forr the second page on that howto does not work but you don't need it
[01:36] <lasindi> You can edit it too with "make menuconfig" if you want to tweak the USB settings
[01:36] <DeeTahPanLtah> lasindi: is it normal that xgl messes kde up if nv drivers are used?
[01:36] <gath_> davin, depends on how many users you have - no general answer to that :)
[01:36] <f1assistance> can someone tell me why when configuring my wireless adapter, I only have a WEP, and WPA is not an option?
[01:36] <davin> gath_: hmm okay
[01:37] <lasindi> DeeTahPanLtah: I have had no success with KDE/Compiz/Xgl in terms of virtual desktops. I've found that I simply have to use Gnome to get the eye-candy
[01:37] <DeeTahPanLtah> ;'<
[01:37] <DeeTahPanLtah> no window borders in kde since xgl installed
[01:37] <DeeTahPanLtah> and its _really_ sad...
[01:37] <gath_> DeeTahPanLtah, i have the same problem in gnoem
[01:38] <gath_> DeeTahPanLtah, but it's fixed by opening a shell and 'kilall gnome-panel'
[01:38] <DeeTahPanLtah> i'll try to replace drivers with my own,maybe will help
[01:38] <lasindi> DeeTahPanLtah: Also, you probably don't want to use the open source 'nv' driver, as it has very poor 3D support. You'll need the proprietary 'nvidia' driver to get full acceleration
[01:38] <strangy> gath_, did you installed compiz-gnome or compiz-kde ?
[01:38] <gath_> DeeTahPanLtah, perhaps there's a kde equivalent
[01:38] <danielmadsen> does anybody know a good vnc viewer?
[01:38] <gath_> strangy, compiz-gnome
[01:38] <danielmadsen> for windows
[01:38] <strangy> i don't have window borders for wine application
[01:38] <strangy> s
[01:38] <DarkMageZ> please avoid conversation about compiz & xgl & aiglx in here, they should be in #ubuntu-xgl
[01:39] <strangy> and the alt + tab works only for non minimized applications
[01:39] <DeeTahPanLtah> danielmadsen: kdrc?
[01:39] <DeeTahPanLtah> xvncviewer's good too
[01:39] <OmegaNine> Time to reboot.  BRB
[01:39] <danielmadsen> kdrc?
[01:39] <DeeTahPanLtah> ya
[01:39] <danielmadsen> is that the name?
[01:39] <DeeTahPanLtah> apt-get install kdrc
[01:40] <DeeTahPanLtah> if somebody asked you guys how much hdd memory do ubuntu+kubuntu take,what would you answer?
[01:40] <danielmadsen> wher can I find it?
[01:40] <DeeTahPanLtah> danielmadsen: ffs, just do "apt-get install kdrc" ;p
[01:40] <Thunderpants> DeeTahPanLtah, ~4Gb
[01:41] <DeeTahPanLtah> Thunderpants: almost correct,taken 5gb here
[01:41] <DeeTahPanLtah> the problem is ive decided to spent 5gb on ubuntu ;d
[01:41] <Dirtycash> hello?
[01:41] <strangy> DeeTahPanLtah, i spent all my hard disk on ubuntu ... for windows i have a qemu image
[01:41] <lastnode> DeeTahPanLtah, that would be hdd _space_. dont use the word memory when talking about hard disks, people will often get confused
[01:41] <strangy> :)
[01:41] <lastnode> strangy, can you run games inside qemu?
[01:42] <danielmadsen> i cant find any good vnc client
[01:42] <matthewf> hey people, ubuntu has installed ok on my system and all but the included media player app is very very broken on my setup audio and video freeze and lock up after about 30 seconds of playback ..
[01:42] <strangy> lastnode, i don't play games :))))
[01:42] <strangy> i only play ignition from time to time :)))
[01:42] <DeeTahPanLtah> matthewf: tried any other players?
[01:42] <strangy> does anybody here remember Ignition
[01:42] <manopulus> question, how i can define locale for system, somewhere in /etc? CD install gife UTF8, but debootstrap install - C or  POSIX.
[01:42] <extern> racing game?
[01:42] <mcphail> lastnode: you cannot use 3d acceleration in qemu
[01:42] <Dirtycash> Question:  My Add/Remove Programs option in the Application Menu disappeared, how do I get it back?
[01:43] <strangy> extern, yes
[01:43] <extern> I guess I do ;)
[01:43] <lastnode> mcphail, no opengl/directx?
[01:43] <danielmadsen> I got a tip about xvncviewers  but where can you download it?
[01:43] <mcphail> lastnode: nope
[01:43] <mcphail> lastnode: vmware has alpha support for directx8
[01:44] <strangy> extern, that was my favorite racing game :))) back in the 90's
[01:44] <mtholdenss> when i try to change the zoom shortcut, at the moment its at super button 4 or something when i change it to shift 5 it doesnt work? any idea?
[01:44] <lastnode> mcphail, i just might try vmware
[01:44] <matthewf> DeeTahPanLtah: no, not yet, the app im trying to use is Xfplay i think, ive tryed diffrent renderer options etc but it keeps failing... then again im not sure which renderer i should be useing for my hardware, or which audio device
[01:44] <strangy> and now it is free as free as beer :))
[01:44] <lastnode> strangy, in the ubuntu repos?
[01:44] <danielmadsen> help?
[01:44] <Nameeater> danielmadsen: it is in the repos, so with apt-get or synaptic
[01:44] <strangy> lastnode, no on the internet ... that's a win32 game
[01:44] <strangy> google for Ignition game
[01:45] <Dirtycash> Anyone know how to fix my prob?
[01:45] <strangy> Dirtycash, what is your problem
[01:45] <BlueEagle> mtholdenss: #ubuntu-xgl for xgl fun.
[01:45] <DeeTahPanLtah> matthewf: but first 30secs run properly?
[01:45] <Dirtycash> "Add/Remove Prgrams" function has disappeared rom Applications Menu
[01:45] <lastnode> Dirtycash, run /usr/bin/gnome-app-install
[01:46] <Dirtycash> ok, trying
[01:46] <exs> I'm having an odd problem. My mouse pointer litrally disappears when it's over graphic bitmaps usually. for example, kopetes contact list..amarokes prefrences > the selection boxes on the left to pick what category of prefrences and flash media on the internet
[01:46] <matthewf> DeeTahPanLtah: happen to know which renderer/audio device i should be useing ? if i am running a Nvidia card and VIA Vinyl 6 Trac Channel audio ?
[01:46] <DeeTahPanLtah> dunno,what are the options?
[01:46] <me> I'm trying to copy from the /cdrom/, but I'm not allowed to do so since I don't have permission to read certain files. how come?
[01:47] <DeeTahPanLtah> me: ubuntu or kubuntu?
[01:47] <matthewf> DeeTahPanLtah: will have to boot the machine again to have a look
[01:47] <me> ubuntu
[01:47] <DeeTahPanLtah> me: gsudo nautilus /cdrom/
[01:47] <OmegaNine> mer
[01:47] <strangy> OmegaNine, did it worked
[01:47] <DeeTahPanLtah> this should give you a nautilus session with permissions
[01:48] <OmegaNine> strangy, Nope, desktop came up with the checker board like it said it should, but no FX
[01:48] <Nameeater> DirtyCash: http://pastebin.com/777130 thats the file, it goes in -> /usr/share/applications/gnome-app-install.desktop
[01:48] <dv_> ah! the printer issues seems to be because of a broken cupsys package
[01:48] <dv_> where can I report this?
[01:48] <strangy> OmegaNine, there is not wobbly efect when you move windows
[01:49] <OmegaNine> strangy, Nope
[01:49] <me> DeeTahPanLtah: still doesn't work. I used sudo nautilus /cdrom/, but same error
[01:49] <pkaushik> hi channel
[01:49] <strangy> OmegaNine, did you installe compiz-gnome
[01:49] <strangy> or compiz-kde
[01:49] <pkaushik> I'm having ASUS S96J laptop, and I'm having problem with it
[01:49] <strangy> i don't know what you use for DE
[01:49] <DeeTahPanLtah> me: do sudo ls -l /cdrom and tell me what user owns it
[01:49] <pkaushik> I'm running right now Edgy kernels
[01:49] <pkaushik> on IA32 architecture
[01:50] <pkaushik> it gets hanged randomly
[01:50] <Dirtycash> lastnode: gnome-app-install in Terminal says "command not found"
[01:50] <Nameeater> you need #ubuntu+1
[01:50] <OmegaNine> strangy, gnome, and yeah...Let me double check
[01:50] <me> it belongs to root
[01:50] <Vinze> Hey
[01:50] <mtholdenss> bridging a wireless net connection on ubuntu a mac using a cross over cable, anyone know how, i could do it on win xp to a mac, surely i can do it in ubuntu
[01:50] <pkaushik> I've ran it 10 times but only 2 times I'm able to shutdown it properly
[01:50] <DeeTahPanLtah> me: so root should have permissions to it ;)
[01:50] <me> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 2006-08-12 23:13 /cdrom -> media/cdrom
[01:50] <me> exactly :)!
[01:51] <DeeTahPanLtah> sudo chown -R <your username> /cdrom
[01:51] <strangy> OmegaNine, dpkg -l | grep compiz-gnome
[01:51] <DeeTahPanLtah> should help i think
[01:51] <Vinze> Can anyone help me with installing the driver for my wireless card? I've messed it up
[01:51] <pkaushik> Any ideas what should I do ?
[01:51] <pkaushik> I'm confused :-S
[01:51] <me> I'll just try that
[01:51] <matthewf> its been a while since i last used linux, how do i check to make sure im getting full video acceleration in X ?
[01:51] <OmegaNine> strangy, yeah, did it as room, wasnt in my history, but I found it
[01:51] <DeeTahPanLtah> pkaushik: try stable releases? ;P
[01:51] <Nameeater> pkaushik: if you have something relating to Efty you should ask in #ubuntu+1
[01:51] <jikes> manage to get ipw3945 module to get loaded, but when I do "ifup eth1" I get this error: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device. What am I missing here???
[01:52] <fogdog> hi
[01:52] <mtholdenss> vinze just go to add applications then find network then set up wireless, easy
[01:52] <Nameeater> er, edgy
[01:52] <OmegaNine> apt-get install xserver-xgl compiz compiz-gnome
[01:52] <Vinze> Yeah but there's something with the driver mtholdenss
[01:52] <pkaushik> Okay Nameeater and DeeTahPanLtah
[01:52] <pkaushik> DeeTahPanLtah, I'm unable to boot using Dapper kernels
[01:52] <Vinze> Somehow it won't load the default driver anymore
[01:52] <Vinze> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21782
[01:52] <DeeTahPanLtah> pkaushik: tried compiling your own?
[01:52] <fogdog> what is the process/config file that controls overwriting of my /etc/resolv.conf? I have edited /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf nad tried 'network-admin' but it still reverts to the dhcp acquired info.
[01:52] <pkaushik> DeeTahPanLtah, nope
[01:52] <Vinze> While it works on the LiveCD
[01:53] <me> it can't be a question about ownership. just tested to see if my user was owner. it is. and still same problem.
[01:53] <DeeTahPanLtah> pkaushik: why? ;P
[01:53] <me> I'll just work around it a bit..
[01:53] <pkaushik> DeeTahPanLtah, will try compiling my own kernel
[01:53] <DeeTahPanLtah> me: can root copy it?
[01:53] <lupine_85> fogdog: add 'dns-nameserver x' to /etc/network/interfaces
[01:53] <pkaushik> DeeTahPanLtah, thanks :)
[01:53] <jacques> RMorris: thanx for the help with VLC just now
[01:53] <DeeTahPanLtah> pkaushik: no problem. let me know if it helped on PM.
[01:54] <pkaushik> DeeTahPanLtah, should I compile a Vanilla kernel ?
[01:54] <DeeTahPanLtah> pkaushik: i'd compile latest stable from kernel.org
[01:54] <jacques> RMorris: could you help me with a nvidia driver for ubuntu
[01:54] <pkaushik> DeeTahPanLtah, okay thanks :)
[01:54] <matthewf> DeeTahPanLtah: how can i tell for sure if X is fully accelerated video wise ?
[01:54] <DeeTahPanLtah> pkaushik: though,it's gonna be pain in the buttock to configure it,just to warn ;d
[01:54] <DeeTahPanLtah> matthewf: xglinfo?
[01:55] <DeeTahPanLtah> matthewf: lemme check
[01:55] <pkaushik> DeeTahPanLtah, can I compile it on AMD64 box which is more stable
[01:55] <Nameeater> matthewf: do you have a graphics card?
[01:55] <fogdog> lupine_85: thanks!
[01:55] <matthewf> DeeTahPanLtah: ahhh.. thats the one .. i think
[01:55] <Vinze> Is there really noone who knows how to (re)install the driver for my network card?
[01:55] <strangy> matthewf, for ati you just do fglrxinfo if you installed fglrx drivers
[01:55] <matthewf> im on nvidia
[01:55] <pkaushik> DeeTahPanLtah, esp. didn't hang frequently
[01:55] <rambo3> !ndiswraper
[01:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ndiswraper - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:55] <DeeTahPanLtah> pkaushik: what you mean?
[01:55] <strangy> well for that i don't know i have an ati card
[01:55] <mtholdenss> my keyboard is stuffed up since i installed xgl i think, for my num lock keypad to work i have to go shift then the number otherwise the numbers just go up down , left and right
[01:55] <DeeTahPanLtah> pkaushik: well,i'm sure its 64bit compatible
[01:55] <me> DeeTahPanLtah: in console-mode it's actually possible to cp. this is weird. I guess I can just do that then
[01:56] <Nameeater> matthewf: glxinfo
[01:56] <jacques> RMorris: i used to use dual view in windows now my s-video out screen looks like i dropped the tv
[01:56] <jikes> manage to get ipw3945 module to get loaded, but when I do "ifup eth1" I get this error: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device. What am I missing here???
[01:56] <mcphail> rambo3: double p
[01:56] <DeeTahPanLtah> me: copy it and chown,should help
[01:56] <me> will do, thanks anyway :)
[01:56] <DeeTahPanLtah> me: np ;)
[01:56] <matthewf> glxinfo does nothing
[01:56] <pkaushik> I mean I've 32bit machine which is having problems, my 64bit box (FC5) is stable
[01:56] <strangy> matthewf, maybe cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep DRI will help
[01:56] <DeeTahPanLtah> matthewf: what exactly you mean?
[01:57] <jfletcher> wondering if anyone else has had problems getting FrostWire to connect?
[01:57] <Nameeater> wierd, I have glx info :\ have you installed the nvidia drivers?
[01:57] <DeeTahPanLtah> i've done glxinfo | grep direct to find out
[01:57] <strangy> if you dont see any errors in the output than you have 3D acceleration
[01:57] <tuxtux> ciao
[01:57] <matthewf> i mean the command is not found
[01:57] <DeeTahPanLtah> yeah,cya
[01:58] <DeeTahPanLtah> matthewf: then you probably don't have the acceleration,install correct drivers ;)
[01:58] <DeeTahPanLtah> matthewf: nvidia?
[01:58] <jacques> where do you nvidia drivers
[01:59] <lastnode_> Dirtycash, looks like you're missing the package. sudo apt-get install gnome-app-install
[01:59] <OmegaNine> Thats weird, shift+backspace drops me out of X
[01:59] <lastnode_> !nvidia
[01:59] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto

[01:59] <OmegaNine> DeeTahPanLtah:  I hate it, is there a fix?
[02:00] <DeeTahPanLtah> OmegaNine: two minutes please ;)

[02:02] <Dirtycash> How do I change read only files in Ubuntu?
[02:02] <alex_> does some1 have a notebook?
[02:02] <DeeTahPanLtah> Dirtycash: chmod +w <evil file>
[02:02] <strangy> Dirtycash chmod 644 [file] 
[02:02] <Dirtycash> ok thx
[02:02] <strangy> or +w as DeeTahPanLtah said
[02:02] <OmegaNine> Does "compiz <defunct>" mean anything in the ps -A command to anyone?
[02:03] <DeeTahPanLtah> OmegaNine: got it! xmodmap -e "keycode 22 = BackSpace"
[02:04] <DeeTahPanLtah> actually it was 3 minutes 25 seconds ;d
[02:04] <OmegaNine> sweet, no more dropping out of X for me
[02:04] <DeeTahPanLtah> OmegaNine: found it in some guide
[02:04] <OmegaNine> LOL, thanks DeeTahPanLtah
[02:05] <DeeTahPanLtah> OmegaNine: i'd copy you a link but im on tty right now,no way to copy

[02:05] <sciboy> Hey guys, i'm in a bit of a bind. I just installed windows on the 3rd partition of my sata drive so i could use some applications from work and the fucker went and removed my main boot record. D=
[02:06] <DeeTahPanLtah> sciboy: well,there are two ways to fix it
[02:06] <sciboy> I want grub. D=
[02:06] <f1assistance> I need help configuring a network printer (HPDeskjet832c) connected to a print server (Netgear PS110)...
[02:06] <DeeTahPanLtah> sciboy: first one is to set up your windows boot manager to boot grub
[02:06] <DeeTahPanLtah> sciboy: second is to re-install grub on your hdd
[02:06] <barabba> hi all
[02:06] <sciboy> I go for the second option.
[02:07] <finalbeta> Where should one request features for example Evolution or Rhythmbox?
[02:07] <me> sorry, I know this question is dumb - but I did check both man, info and --help. howto do cp with directories and all their contents
[02:07] <lastnode_> sciboy, as a side note, please watch your language in here, please. :)
[02:07] <sciboy> Now the issue is where should i install it? I can't remember if i put the primary boot sector on my sata or ide.
[02:07] <strangy> sciboy, boot from ubuntu cd ... mount your ubuntu partition chroot to it and do sudo update-grub
[02:07] <OmegaNine> DeeTahPanLtah Nice, why in gods name would you be running in CLI in this day and age?
[02:07] <lastnode_> me, cp -R
[02:07] <sciboy> lastnode: Okey dokey.
[02:07] <DeeTahPanLtah> sciboy: fdisk -l ;p
[02:07] <me> thanks :)
[02:07] <DeeTahPanLtah> OmegaNine: im fixing my xserver ;p
[02:07] <DeeTahPanLtah> OmegaNine: and compiling a kernel
[02:07] <lastnode_> me, it's in man btw ;-)
[02:07] <strangy> sciboy, and also do sudo grub-install
[02:07] <lastnode_> me, hereafter, look for 'recursively'
[02:08] <OmegaNine> Ah, sounds fare
[02:08] <Dirtycash> No luck on the Add/remove Programs yet
[02:08] <lastnode_> Dirtycash, did you do sudo apt-get install gnome-app-install?
[02:08] <me> I know. Probably my English isn't that well-trained yet :)
[02:08] <Dirtycash> no, one second
[02:08] <MMXGN> Ok, I fixed it, Just killed/reloaded the bcm modules
[02:08] <MMXGN> :)
[02:08] <lastnode_> Dirtycash, i sent that to you a while back, mate
[02:08] <MMXGN> c u
[02:09] <jirka> hi, could someone help me? I need informations about user...how can I disallow to some user to use "sudo"?

[02:09] <dv_> gkdesklets?
[02:09] <lastnode_> Dirtycash, i just removed my package and installed it and tried
[02:09] <DeeTahPanLtah> OmegaNine: my english sucks and translator claims that fare stands for a kind of tax ;p
[02:10] <lastnode_> dv_, it's a part of gdesklets (one desklet)
[02:10] <dv_> ah thx
[02:10] <strangy> jirka, don't add it to the admin group and it will not be allowed to do sudo
[02:10] <Dirtycash> Sweet it works now
[02:10] <Dirtycash> One down 20 to go :)
[02:10] <OmegaNine> DeeTahPanLtah Oops fair
[02:10] <Dirtycash> Thanks
[02:10] <DeeTahPanLtah> OmegaNine: ;')
[02:11] <OmegaNine> DeeTahPanLtah and I speed english from birth...Whats that say :\

[02:11] <matthewf> for the nvidia install, it wants me to select linux-restricted-modules for installation, but the newist version of that package apears to be already installed ( has a green on the tick box bit)
[02:12] <DeeTahPanLtah> matthewf: is it a problem?
[02:12] <tuxtux> reboot
[02:12] <lolo12> hola?
[02:13] <lastnode_> lolo12, hi
[02:13] <DeeTahPanLtah> lolo12: yeah,hi ;)
[02:13] <jirka> strangy - ok, and in my default install ubuntu I have a lot of default pre-installed groups.. where can I get the list of what which group means?
[02:13] <matthewf> i dont know... acording to the instructions i need to select that package to go with the nvidia drivers.. but how can i select it if its already installed ?
[02:13] <lolo12> i am spanish
[02:13] <DeeTahPanLtah> matthewf: i'd risk removing it and let your package manager take it over
[02:13] <DeeTahPanLtah> lolo12: then look for a spanish channel,we speak english here ;<
[02:14] <lolo12> ok, thank you
[02:14] <lolo12> sorry
[02:14] <DeeTahPanLtah> lolo12: no problem,just keep that in mind. if your english is too weak to talk here,you may use internet translators like this one: http://babelfish.altavista.com/
[02:14] <Dirtycash> Can i "sudo apt-get"  The opera Web browser?  My Firefox keeps crashing
[02:15] <Dirtycash> I have it working now (Opera ) but it is from a file folder on my desktop :P
[02:15] <DeeTahPanLtah> Dirtycash: i can't find opera in repos,if you want to look yourself,try apt-cache search <keyword>
[02:15] <opexoc> Which torrent client do you recommend ? I have already downloaded Azureus but I can't use it.
[02:16] <rambo3> !info opera
[02:16] <[joemaxxx] > hi guys! Has anyone tried usimng Irda (infrared) to work on dapper?
[02:16] <ubotu> Package opera does not exist in dapper-imbrandon
[02:16] <DeeTahPanLtah> opexoc: java problems? install java runtime to get it working ;P
[02:16] <maeg> !info hackedbox
[02:16] <ubotu> Package hackedbox does not exist in dapper-imbrandon
[02:16] <Dirtycash> I have the file downloaded and it works but it only works from the downloaded folder
[02:16] <SpComb> Dirtycash: you can use `apt-cache search opera | less` to see if it exists (I don't know if it does)
[02:16] <opexoc> DeeTahPanLtah: hmm....
[02:16] <imbrandon> !info opera dapper-commercial
[02:16] <ubotu> Package opera does not exist in dapper
[02:17] <DeeTahPanLtah> opexoc: anyways,you may spend a while browsing repositories: apt-cache search torrent and you'll find few nice torrent downloaders
[02:17] <Dirtycash> When i try to make shortcuts it doesn't work
[02:17] <DeeTahPanLtah> Dirtycash: why?
[02:17] <acab> hi to all :) if with the command mpalyer -identify i discover some errors in a divx... how i could correct it?
[02:17] <rambo3> Dirtycash, try as user rm -rf  /home/$(whoami)/.mozilla
[02:17] <rambo3> see if that helps
[02:17] <acab> mplayer sorry
[02:17] <Nameeater> opera maintain a repo
[02:18] <opexoc> DeeTahPanLtah: hmm... thanks to apt-get I downloaded azureus and it downloaded every dependencies packages so I don't know where is a problem.
[02:18] <Dirtycash> I make the shortcut but it doesn't actually pull it up it just does a quick isplay of the terminal
[02:18] <Dirtycash> display^
[02:18] <DeeTahPanLtah> opexoc: run azureus in some terminal to see what errors it outputs
[02:18] <Nameeater> Opera also have .deb's you can dl from their webpage
[02:18] <Dirtycash> Yeah i downloaded from the webpage and it works I just can;t get any shortcuts to work
[02:19] <exs> I've installed all the correct codecs, my sound works, my wifi works, my video card ( on my motherboard ) works too ( using a laptop) BUT... My videos do not play. I understand that movies use a different visual layer on the screen (hence not being able to print screen) but I'm wondering what I should do to fix this. Thank you.
[02:19] <DeeTahPanLtah> Dirtycash: what do you exactly mean?
[02:19] <opexoc> DeeTahPanLtah: hehe... I have already removed it also :)
[02:19] <Dirtycash> A direct path to the "opera" file does nothing
[02:19] <lastnode_> exs, what video player are you using?
[02:19] <DeeTahPanLtah> Dirtycash: outputs any error?
[02:19] <Dirtycash> When i reference it in a shortcut from the desktop or in the panel
[02:19] <acab> no idea about my question? :(
[02:19] <Dirtycash> no output errors
[02:19] <exs> lastnode_:  tried aout everyone available.. from totem, to vlc, to mplayer, kaffine
[02:20] <Dirtycash> Wait i will make another one

[02:23] <DeeTahPanLtah> hermes: what user you used to run a server?
[02:23] <matthewf> :(
[02:23] <DeeTahPanLtah> hermes: cause afaik only root can open ports < 1024.
[02:23] <jrib> matthewf: you can reconfigure it with 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
[02:23] <exs> exs@exs-laptop:~$ -vo x11 /home/exs/Desktop/City of God CD1
[02:23] <exs> bash: -vo: command not found
[02:24] <DeeTahPanLtah> FOR FUCK'S SAKE!

[02:24] <f1assistance> tell me an application that plays .wma files?
[02:24] <rsk> exs, still wrong
[02:24] <DeeTahPanLtah> mplayer -vo

[02:24] <DeeTahPanLtah> sorry,i'm ok now ;d
[02:24] <jrib> f1assistance: mplayer can play them I think
[02:24] <acab> 'ive tried mplayer -vo x11 and i got a list of the divx errors....
[02:24] <Dirtycash> Ok so I right click on the Panel and click "add to panel"
[02:24] <Dirtycash> From there i make a "custom Application Launcher"
[02:24] <Dirtycash> I enter in name information and for the Command i click browse and i nav to the file i use to get Opera to run
[02:24] <Dirtycash> This File is called "opera" in a Opera folder on my desktop
[02:24] <Dirtycash> When finish making the Launcher and click on it I get the "explosion/expanding" animation but nothing happens
[02:25] <jrib> f1assistance: with w32codecs probably
[02:25] <Dirtycash> Sorry for SPAM
[02:25] <DeeTahPanLtah> Dirtycash: you sure you entered a path to opera executable?
[02:25] <hermes> DeeTahPanLtah: ports.conf says "listening 80" but in my router port 12345 is forwarded to 80 because my isp blocks port 80.don't know which user runs apache here.think it is default i havent changed that i think.
[02:25] <Dirtycash> It is the same file that i click on manually
[02:25] <f1assistance> jrib: thx
[02:25] <Dirtycash> When i click on it manually it works
[02:26] <Nameeater> DirtyCash: under Application/Internet is there an opera shortcut?
[02:26] <Dirtycash> no
[02:26] <DeeTahPanLtah> hermes: check in apache's logs...
[02:26] <Nameeater> :/
[02:26] <rambo3> Dirtycash, where is opera then ? /home/you/opera?
[02:26] <hermes> DeeTahPanLthah: ok
[02:26] <Nameeater> how did you install opera?
[02:27] <Dirtycash> yeah pretty much
[02:27] <DeeTahPanLtah> rambo3: i'd copy whole directory's files to /usr/bin/ ,gonna work then i guess ;p
[02:27] <DeeTahPanLtah> whoops,it was meant to be to Dirtycash
[02:27] <DeeTahPanLtah> ;'>
[02:27] <rambo3> you can add it to /etc/ld.so.conf so its system wide
[02:27] <Dirtycash> I DLed the files andunpacked them
[02:27] <Dirtycash> thenfrom there i clicked on the opera file and it worked
[02:27] <exs> rsk:  the video works??.. i dont know why it doesn't work without the command line
[02:28] <DeeTahPanLtah> Dirtycash: now copy everything it contains to /usr/bin ;] 
[02:28] <Dirtycash> ok sec
[02:28] <k31th> if i want to scp a lift of fils i have in blah.txt how would i echo the contents? // scp -pr cat "/home/blah/blah.txr" blah@blah.com:/home/blah/mail/           ??????????
[02:28] <mcphail> Dirtycash: don't copy to /usr/bin
[02:28] <rambo3> Dirtycash,  : sudo echo /home/$(whoami)/opera >> /etc/ld.so.conf && sudo ldconfig
[02:28] <DeeTahPanLtah> Dirtycash: just make sure you're not copying "opera" folder,but everything it contains
[02:28] <jrib> k31th: echo $(cat file.txt)    <-- this works
[02:29] <Nameeater> Dirtycash: did you download a .deb file or .tar.* file ?
[02:29] <Dirtycash> Grr i can;t paste to usr/bin
[02:29] <Dirtycash> .tar file
[02:29] <mcphail> Dirtycash: good job. That would not be a clever thing to do.
[02:29] <jrib> !opera > Dirtycash
[02:29] <Nameeater> you really should get the .deb file :/
[02:29] <gath_> Anyone know why my computer won't shut down (ACPI doesn't work) with Ubuntu (and several other distros)? It just says "acpi_power_off called" but doesn't turn off power
[02:29] <Dirtycash> And use Gdebi?
[02:29] <DeeTahPanLtah> away for a while
[02:30] <Nameeater> also on the wiki is a full guide on how to sut it up
[02:30] <Dirtycash> Opera wiki?
[02:30] <gath_> I've fixed it by passing acpi=ht to the kernel, but what does that mean?
[02:30] <Nameeater> that right there might be it :)
[02:30] <rambo3> gath_, man acpi
[02:30] <Dirtycash> Ok i will find it
[02:30] <Dirtycash> Anyone else have Firefox crashing issues?
[02:31] <joe_september82> i do
[02:31] <Dirtycash> you fix it?
[02:31] <hermes> DeeTahPanLtah: what must i check exactly in the logs?
[02:31] <gath_> rambo3, doesn't say what acpi=ht means?
[02:31] <joe_september82> Dirtycash, it only crashes when it tries to load up too many flash websites in one window
[02:32] <joe_september82> Dirtycash, umm..dunno how to fi x it atm
[02:32] <Dirtycash> Oh mine crashes and when i try and bring it back up i get the "restore session" option and then it freezes

[02:37] <extern> DeeTahPanLtah, well it didn't run for me :/, if I won't like mono, I'll try it again
[02:37] <OmegaNine> Its a network maping util
[02:38] <hermes> DeeTahPanLtah: people from the internet doesnt get an error..they just get a message "can't connect to.." nmap says 80 is open
[02:38] <Fernando27> I cant install Ubuntu 6.06 LTS. Someone can help me?
[02:38] <DeeTahPanLtah> telnet localhost 80
[02:38] <whitehorseNtiger> it maps the local network only?
[02:38] <frog_racer> when i do sudo i get: unable to lookup localhost via gethostbyname()
[02:38] <whitehorseNtiger> nmap has a gui?
[02:38] <DeeTahPanLtah> GET /,do it say anything is wrong? ;p
[02:38] <DeeTahPanLtah> whitehorseNtiger: there should a packet nmapfe
[02:38] <DeeTahPanLtah> whitehorseNtiger: with a front-end GUI
[02:39] <whitehorseNtiger> ok
[02:39] <jrib> frog_racer: make sure /etc/hosts has a line that says "127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost HOSTNAME"  where HOSTNAME is the same as the contents of /etc/hostname
[02:39] <frog_racer> when i do sudo i get: unable to lookup localhost via gethostbyname()
[02:39] <OmegaNine> nmap has a couple GUIs, but its a scanner and maper and recon tool for networks
[02:39] <hermes> DeeTahPanLtah: no i get a html page on my screen..but in my network is everything ok..but on the internet..
[02:39] <Fernando27> My install locks in keyboard layout selection...
[02:40] <jacques> ubotu: i have installed the drivers but how do i get the sreen to be a "dual screen" to show om my tv

[02:40] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage
[02:40] <DeeTahPanLtah> hermes: well,can your friends portscan you to find out if the port is still closed?
[02:40] <jacques> i see
[02:40] <DeeTahPanLtah> jacques: funny thing,eh? ;P
[02:41] <whitehorseNtiger> how many ports does a computer have exactly?
[02:41] <DeeTahPanLtah> whitehorseNtiger: afaik,unlimited
[02:41] <jacques> yea i feel like a bit of a ass
[02:41] <whitehorseNtiger> why does mysql have an open port on my machine
[02:41] <jacques> i have installed the drivers but how do i get the sreen to be a "dual screen" to show om my tv
[02:41] <hermes> DeeTahPanLtah: if my friends installed a porscanner on their windows their virusscanner wouldnt be happy :) maybe you can do?
[02:41] <DeeTahPanLtah> whitehorseNtiger: to let others connect ot it
[02:41] <DeeTahPanLtah> hermes: ip?
[02:41] <frog_racer> when i do sudo i get: unable to lookup localhost via gethostbyname()
[02:41] <whitehorseNtiger> D'oh of course
[02:41] <shawarma> whitehorseNtiger: Probably beause you install mysql-server..
[02:42] <plastic> hi. When i run any game like ET or Quake3 my X crashes and restarts. Any ideas on fixing that?
[02:42] <whitehorseNtiger> But I don't want others to use it; only programs on my machine.
[02:42] <hermes> DeeTahPanLtah: wait a sec..but you must watch port 12345..my isp blocks 80 so 12345 is forwarded to 80
[02:42] <DeeTahPanLtah> hermes: it says its "filtered"
[02:42] <OmegaNine> OK so when i boot up my lappy, i get that checkered BG and it stops.  It doesnt access my HDD or anything, just sits there staring at me.  Any ideas?
[02:42] <DeeTahPanLtah> hermes: okay ;p
[02:42] <shawarma> whitehorseNtiger: it only listens on the loopback interface.
[02:43] <DeeTahPanLtah> hermes: its open here
[02:43] <shawarma> OmegaNine: checkered BG?
[02:43] <hermes> DeeTahPanLtah: you did a /whois :)
[02:43] <OmegaNine> (this is after editing my gmd.conf-custom)
[02:43] <DeeTahPanLtah> hermes: maybe your friends should try to connecting to http://<your ip there>:12345/ instead? ;PP
[02:43] <hermes> DeeTahPanLtah: they know that..
[02:43] <whitehorseNtiger> What else can I do with nmap besides "nmap localhost"  that is interesting?
[02:43] <shawarma> OmegaNine: Oh, that one!
[02:43] <DeeTahPanLtah> hermes: yeah,and while asking you for ip i forgout about it
[02:44] <hermes> DeeTahPanLtah: can you connect to my webserver: http://myip:12345
[02:44] <OmegaNine> Yeah like the 3D acceleration has started
[02:44] <shawarma> OmegaNine: You probably messed up your gdm config. check your syslog for hints.
[02:44] <DeeTahPanLtah> hermes: trying to...
[02:44] <whitehorseNtiger> It seems like a rather large install (nmap) just to fish open ports.
[02:44] <DeeTahPanLtah> elinks says its "making connection"
[02:44] <hermes> DeeTahPanLtah: probably again an error :s
[02:44] <plastic> When i run any game like ET or Quake3 my X crashes and restarts. Any ideas on fixing that?
[02:44] <DeeTahPanLtah> hermes: maybe its a problem in your port forwarding?
[02:44] <DeeTahPanLtah> hermes: cause it seems its gonna timeout connection her
[02:44] <jacques> DeeTahPanLtah: can you help - - - i have installed the drivers but how do i get the sreen to be a "dual screen" to show om my tv
[02:45] <DeeTahPanLtah> jacques: honestly,never tried to... i'd try google ;p
[02:45] <OmegaNine> jacques - ATI or NVIDIA?
[02:45] <jacques> nvidia tv
[02:45] <jacques> nvidia
[02:45] <matthewf> whats the command to check for acceleration again ?
[02:46] <OmegaNine> jacques Sorry cant help, like he said, google is out friend
[02:46] <plastic> glxgears for 3d
[02:46] <OmegaNine> *our
[02:46] <DeeTahPanLtah> glxinfo | grep direct
[02:46] <DeeTahPanLtah> afk,dinner
[02:46] <Nameeater> glxinfo ?
[02:46] <hermes> DeeTahPanLtah: dont think so it has worked before..
[02:46] <jacques> ok thanx
[02:47] <whitehorseNtiger> so like nmap www.google.com would make Google angry wouldn't it.
[02:47] <RMorris84> how do i change associated file types?
[02:48] <tanath> i need help... my mouse is way to slow, and i can't speed it up. when i run 'gnome-mouse-properties' in a terminal and try, it spits out this: http://pastebin.ca/150882
[02:48] <lastnode> tanath, tried System -> Pref -> Mouse?
[02:48] <plastic> When i run any game like ET or Quake3 my X crashes and restarts. Any ideas on fixing that? anyone?
[02:48] <tanath> lastnode: yes, that's the same thing. only not in a terminal
[02:49] <tanath> lastnode: but it's only in the terminal i see the error
[02:49] <whitehorseNtiger> Two questions:  I am reading 'man nmap' and I don't see how to map my local network because man pages are not always easy for me to read AND how do I cleanly exit from a man page, I can't remember how.
[02:49] <lastnode> tanath, yeah sorry, my bad. i just checked
[02:49] <lastnode> tanath, in the gui it just doesnt do anyuthing?
[02:49] <lastnode> whitehorseNtiger, q
[02:49] <tanath> lastnode: yes
[02:49] <whitehorseNtiger> thanks
[02:49] <plastic> how can y reconfigure my x server?
[02:49] <shawarma> RMorris84: Rightclick on a file of the type and select properties.
[02:49] <tanath> lastnode: lastnode it still pops up the gui when run in the terminal, but you get to see the output
[02:49] <plastic> * i
[02:49] <shawarma> RMorris84: In there, you'll find an "open with" tab. That's the shit.
[02:50] <lastnode> tanath, yeah, i know. so it just dies and dumps that error? try removing and reinstalling the package?
[02:50] <alex_joni> hello, I plan to make a deb with custom artwork for dapper, any pointers to do that?
[02:50] <hermes> DeeTahPanLtah: but port 12345 is opened on my box?
[02:50] <tanath> lastnode: it doesn't die
[02:50] <whitehorseNtiger> How do I scan my local network so I can 'discover' computers on my network?
[02:50] <tanath> lastnode: it spits out that error every time you move the bar
[02:50] <lastnode> tanath, wierd. usb?
[02:50] <shawarma> hermes: and there's not firewall or router in between?
[02:50] <shawarma> whitehorseNtiger: nmap
[02:51] <tanath> lastnode: that's another thing, i can't install stuff. dpkg complains about parsing a file... :/
[02:51] <tanath> lastnode: yeah
[02:51] <plastic> * i
[02:51] <lastnode> tanath, wth happened?
[02:51] <plastic> how can i reconfigure my x server?
[02:51] <hermes> shawarma: port is forwarded..
[02:51] <lastnode> tanath, you cant install?
[02:51] <whitehorseNtiger> shawarma:  yeah, know that much, don't know the command.  Man page isn't very helpful.
[02:51] <tanath> lastnode: upgraded compiz, restarted X, and it froze...
[02:51] <shawarma> tanath: Does it actually say " I cannot parse a file.. giving up" or does it name the file?
[02:51] <lastnode> compiz
[02:51] <Arafangion> How do I umount /home, and mount a new /home, while /home is "in use"?
[02:51] <lastnode> :o
[02:51] <Nameeater> plastic: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:51] <lastnode> tanath, i have no idea dude
[02:51] <habeeb> How are you gentlemen?
[02:51] <matthewf> ive got open gl accel working in Xfmedia now ... but peformace is rather poor, is there another video renderer option there that may be better ?
[02:51] <Nameeater> plastic: have you looked in the logs as to why it is crashing?
[02:51] <tanath> shawarma: /var/lib/dpkg/available
[02:51] <lastnode> tanath, wanna try #ubuntu-xgl ?
[02:52] <plastic> Nameeater, where is the logs?
[02:52] <tanath> lastnode: not having xgl probs
[02:52] <lastnode> plastic, /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[02:52] <jirka> is here someone from latvia?
[02:52] <shawarma> tanath: try 'sudo dselect update'
[02:52] <lastnode> tanath, compiz/xgl ?
[02:52] <lastnode> plastic, cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[02:52] <shawarma> whitehorseNtiger: Search for HOST DISCOVERY on the man page.
[02:52] <matthewf> there are like 20 diffrent options for a video renderer so which one would be a good try ?
[02:52] <extern> Can mono be used to write C++ code?
[02:52] <shawarma> matthewf: xvideo?
[02:52] <Nameeater> plastic: what lastnode said, but it may be log.old as the current session may be in the current log
[02:53] <whitehorseNtiger> ok, I'll try some of those options
[02:53] <shawarma> matthewf: sometimes known just as xv
[02:53] <Arafangion> extern: No, mono is just a framework/compiler.
[02:53] <lastnode> Nameeater, im actually writing a small python app that will make this whole log file pasting business very easy. - http://sourceforge.net/projects/upstream/
[02:53] <Arafangion> extern: You need a text editor to write C++ code, just like any other language.
[02:54] <Nameeater> lastnode: cool
[02:54] <tanath> shawarma: i can update fine, just not upgrade stuff
[02:54] <lastnode> Nameeater, i just need a server to host a pastebin now, i guess :)
[02:54] <jirka> what can I use for html+css+php coding for gnome????
[02:54] <shawarma> tanath: did you run the command?
[02:54] <Arafangion> How do I force a umount?
[02:54] <tanath> shawarma: yeh
[02:54] <shawarma> Arafangion: umount -f
[02:54] <shawarma> tanath: and what did it say?
[02:54] <Nameeater> should talk to the owner of the one in !pastebin
[02:54] <BlueEagle> lastnode: I've emailed the maintainer of the pastebin and asked nicely for a file upload feature.
[02:54] <tanath> shawarma: actually it complained about one line saying no such file
[02:55] <Nameeater> shawarma: bluefish
[02:55] <tanath> shawarma: as in, server error
[02:55] <Nameeater> er
[02:55] <tanath> shawarma: no probs parsing anything
[02:55] <Nameeater> wrong person
[02:55] <sbodo> hi all - is gst-python broken in edgy? i got an error when i try to "import gst"
[02:55] <Nameeater> jirka: bluefish
[02:55] <Arafangion> shawarma: It's not working.
[02:55] <lastnode> BlueEagle, this would be a little easier. just, er 'upstream --video' ;-)
[02:55] <whitehorseNtiger> nmap -v -sP 192.168.0.0/16 What does the 16 mean?
[02:55] <lastnode> sbodo, #ubuntu+1
[02:55] <tanath> shawarma: was the cipherfunk repo
[02:55] <Arafangion> shawarma: I can't even umount -r /home and get it read only.
[02:55] <BlueEagle> lastnode: Well that will also be nice. :)
[02:56] <Nameeater> white: subnet iirc, and 16 would be pretty big
[02:56] <shawarma> Arafangion: umount -fl, then
[02:56] <jirka> Nameeater - is it WYSIWYG? That i don't want...
[02:56] <plastic> This is the log http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21791
[02:56] <lastnode> BlueEagle, http://sourceforge.net/projects/upstream/
[02:56] <matthewf> i take it kubuntu/ubuntu doesnt have CSS installed as standard.. is it in the package manager someware tho for easy install ?
[02:56] <shawarma> Arafangion: Then it will be unmounted when the last blocking process leaves it.
[02:56] <Nameeater> jirka: no, definately not WYSIWYG
[02:56] <lastnode> whitehorseNtiger, http://www.nmap-tutorial.com/
[02:56] <shawarma> tanath: what is the precise error message, you get?
[02:56] <plastic> Nameeater, this is the Xorg.log.old http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21791
[02:57] <Arafangion> shawarma: Works well enough, thanks.
[02:57] <shawarma> Arafangion: np
[02:57] <BlueEagle> lastnode: Looks nice.
[02:57] <helikoptik> hello there
[02:57] <shawarma> hi
[02:57] <matthewf> (in other words, how hard is it to get comercial dvd playback working in ubuntu)
[02:57] <lastnode> BlueEagle, if you're interested in developing with us / patching / whatever, ping me sometime
[02:57] <whitehorseNtiger> thanks all
[02:57] <helikoptik> I want to intercept access to /dev/dsp on linux, anyone knows how can I do it, or maybe a place where to look/ask for information?
[02:57] <lastnode> matthewf, sudo apt-get install vlc :P
[02:57] <shawarma> matthewf: quite easy
[02:57] <lastnode> matthewf, sudo apt-get install xine-ui works too
[02:57] <Nameeater> !restrictedformats > matthewf
[02:58] <shawarma> matthewf: check the restrictedformats wiki page
[02:58] <shawarma> helikoptik: essdsp, perhaps?
[02:58] <orion2012> matthewf: a google for dapper libdvdcss2 will take you to the right place
[02:58] <DeeTahPanLtah> back
[02:58] <tanath> shawarma: Failed to fetch ftp://cipherfunk.org/pub/packages/ubuntu/dists/dapper/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz  Unable to fetch file, server said 'No such file.  '
[02:58] <helikoptik> hmm
[02:59] <matthewf> groovy.. i mean not that this system will be a dvd player, but id like dvd playback working on a non windows os just for kicks heh
[02:59] <shawarma> tanath: Not that. The one where it bitches about not being able to parse /vaR/lib/dpkg/available
[02:59] <matthewf> as ive never actuly seen it working before
[02:59] <DeeTahPanLtah> hermes: are you sure your firewall is _not_ blocking the port?
[02:59] <matthewf> heh
[02:59] <Nameeater> plastic: hmm that looks pretty messy :/ I cant tell whats gone wrong there, possibly glx? how did you install the nvidia drivers?
[02:59] <DeeTahPanLtah> glx should be damn easier.
[03:00] <tanath> shawarma: http://pastebin.ca/150886
[03:00] <helikoptik> shawarma: thanks. looks promising
[03:01] <hermes> DeeTahPanLtah: i am pretty sure yes..
[03:01] <shawarma> tanath: Paste the first few lines of /var/lib/dpkg/available, please
[03:01] <DeeTahPanLtah> hermes: worked at windows?
[03:01] <plastic> Nameeater, this problem is new.. before some time my X workt normally no crashes but yesterday i startes to get these crashes..
[03:02] <Nameeater> plastic: did you do anything to create the crashes? install anything? upgrade something?
[03:02] <tanath> shawarma: http://pastebin.ca/150887
[03:02] <plastic> Nameeater,  just regular updates thats it..
[03:02] <hermes> DeeTahPanLtah: what do you want to say? the server runs ubuntu..
[03:03] <DeeTahPanLtah> hermes: err,tried it on other OS'es? just to make sure ;p
[03:03] <Nameeater> there has been an nvidia-glx update recentely I think
[03:03] <hermes> DeeTahPanLtah: ow yes..
[03:03] <jpduyx> hey i have a problem with imp4 and dovecot, when i try to acces mailbox.php?mailbox=INBOX i get a empty page named "mailbox.php" to download
[03:03] <DeeTahPanLtah> hermes: non-unix ones? ;p
[03:03] <Nameeater> wonder if that broke something
[03:03] <hermes> DeeTahPanLtah: windows is non unix :)
[03:03] <shawarma> tanath: That looks pretty messed up. Try 'dpkg --clear-avail' and then apt-get update
[03:04] <DeeTahPanLtah> hermes: worked there?
[03:04] <hermes> DeeTahPanLtah: no same thing as in unix
[03:04] <DeeTahPanLtah> hermes: just works?
[03:05] <tanath> shawarma: worked. thanks :)
[03:05] <hermes> DeeTahPanLtah: no it doesnt work like in ubuntu :) my windows box at home (in this network) works
[03:05] <gwilma> Hello all: I've got a webcam problem. I have a built-in webcam on my laptop, which works fine with gqcam, provided I don't have any other usb devices plugged in. As soon as I plug something else in, and try running it, I get an error message saying "/dev/video: No space left on device". Does anyone have suggestions?
[03:05] <DeeTahPanLtah> hermes: so its linux problem,then? ;p
[03:05] <shawarma> tanath: Since both that file, and some of your gconf database (the mouse problem you had) is messed up, I'm guessing you've had your file system corrupted recently?
[03:05] <tanath> shawarma: not to my knowledge
[03:06] <hermes> DeeTahPanLtah: dont know..but it has worked..it is strang
[03:06] <tanath> shawarma: i just upgraded compiz, and restarted X, but it froze and i had to reboot. that's when it happened
[03:06] <shawarma> tanath: Power outage? unclean shutdown? sledgehammer?
[03:06] <sweegee> i've just installed xubuntu and want to load Adobe Reader
[03:06] <tanath> shawarma: i had logged out first though..
[03:06] <sweegee> what is the default password for root
[03:07] <shawarma> tanath: "had to reboot" as in "yank the power cord out", press the power button without shutting down or?
[03:07] <shawarma> sweegee: there is none
[03:07] <tanath> shawarma: as in press the reset button
[03:07] <Timmy|GDS> my root password is scriptkiddie
[03:07] <shawarma> sweegee: It's not blank, there's just no password.
[03:07] <tanath> shawarma: power button did nothing
[03:07] <shawarma> tanath: Yeah, that'll mess it up.
[03:07] <whitehorseNtiger> I like nmapfe.  I copy the command into a terminal with "sudo".  Hey, How do I get apps to run as root in ubuntu?
[03:07] <sweegee> so how do you load applications?
[03:08] <DeeTahPanLtah> hermes: my comp says your all ports are filtered,so i'm not totally sure if router's okay
[03:08] <drick> anybody familiar with gdesklets' starter bar?
[03:08] <shawarma> sweegee: As in "install new ones"?
[03:08] <joe_september82> sweegee, load as in run an application or install one?
[03:08] <DeeTahPanLtah> whitehorseNtiger: you've done wrong-if you're running graphical apps,use kdesu instead..
[03:08] <DeeTahPanLtah> !sudo
[03:08] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[03:08] <sweegee> install apps
[03:08] <hermes> DeeTahPanLtah: hmm.but is filtered not okay?
[03:09] <joe_september82> sweegee, sudo apt-get install <application>
[03:09] <shawarma> sweegee: Have you tried anythign that failed or do you not know at all what do to?
[03:09] <DeeTahPanLtah> whitehorseNtiger: meant gksu ;p
[03:09] <tanath> shawarma: btw, i normally use my xgl/compiz login, but i'm using my regular gnome login now and it's messed. there was no window manager, alt+tab doesn't work, and the app buttons don't show on the taskbar
[03:09] <DeeTahPanLtah> hermes: it means they arent open,i guess ;P
[03:09] <michaels__> is there a simple way to delete all files that share a certain extension in a directory and all subdirectories?
[03:09] <[H] 3b0R> anyone know about any good repos for the latest software? not betas
[03:09] <whitehorseNtiger> DeeTahPanLtah  I don't understand.
[03:09] <whitehorseNtiger> sorry
[03:09] <shawarma> sweegee: In your programs menu, there's an add/remove programs thing. That's good for many things.
[03:09] <DeeTahPanLtah> numist: rm -rf *.<extension> ?
[03:09] <shawarma> sweegee: it'll as for your password. YOUR password. Not root's.
[03:09] <hermes> DeeTahPanLtah: yes but open means "accept everything"  i think..filtered is okay normally
[03:10] <sweegee> extracted the files to tmp and ran the ./INSTALL script but was denied permission
[03:10] <conhe> need tutor to compilation of kernel
[03:10] <DeeTahPanLtah> whitehorseNtiger: it somehow doesn't allow me anyways; p
[03:10] <shawarma> hermes: "filtered" means it didn't respond at all.
[03:10] <conhe> how-to*
[03:10] <tanath> michaels__: what DeeTahPanLtah said
[03:10] <shawarma> hermes: in case of "closed" it responded with at "go away, nothing to see here"
[03:10] <michaels__> thanks DeeTahPanLtah, tanath
[03:10] <Arafangion> How do I beam files from my PDA to my computer's IR port?
[03:10] <shawarma> conhe: why?
[03:11] <DeeTahPanLtah> whitehorseNtiger: if you want to run some graphical app as root,use gksu <command>,not sudo. sudo will make you mess up xserver and you'll have to restart it
[03:11] <hermes> shawarma: so something in my router is wrong? (i dont have installed a firewall on this ubuntu server)
[03:11] <[H] 3b0R> anyone know about any good repos for the latest software?
[03:11] <shawarma> hermes: I asked before if there was a router.. :-)
[03:11] <joe_september82> sweegee, you have to do a 'sudo' to run thr application
[03:11] <DeeTahPanLtah> [H] 3b0R: test hashed ones in /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:11] <shawarma> hermes: What is your machines IP? Not the one we see from the outside, but the one it believes it has?
[03:11] <joe_september82> sweegee, like 'sudo ./INSTALL
[03:12] <sweegee> many thanks, i'll try that and get back to you soon
[03:12] <hermes> shawarma: yes there is a router but the port is forwarded
[03:12] <tanath> shawarma: so, can you help me get my mouse fixed, by any chance?
[03:12] <shawarma> conhe: Why do you need to compile your own kernel?
[03:12] <conhe> shawarma: kernel... compilation
[03:12] <fuci> Helloes, what's a good program to resize lots of images (.jpg) to a smaller size?
[03:12] <DeeTahPanLtah> imagemagick?
[03:12] <tanath> shawarma: what file would it be unable to parse to make me unable to change my mouse speed?
[03:12] <OmegaNine> F it, i give up for now.  CS:S calls.
[03:12] <hermes> shawarma: the ip in my network? it is a static one: 192.168.1.1
[03:12] <conhe> shawarma: add suport ntfs
[03:12] <shawarma> conhe: me understand good... me want know why
[03:12] <whitehorseNtiger> k
[03:13] <conhe> shawarma: add suport samba !
[03:13] <shawarma> conhe: It's already there.
[03:13] <Miravlix> I'm trying to run amule installed on ubuntu 6.06, but with a gentoo system as X-server, but it complains with The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
[03:13] <DeeTahPanLtah> Et?
[03:13] <DeeTahPanLtah> what did he mean?
[03:13] <hermes> shawarma: why btw?
[03:14] <shawarma> hermes: I was trying to find out it you're router forwarded stuff to your or mereley acted as kind of a switch.
[03:14] <shawarma> tanath: Your gconf database.
[03:14] <shawarma> tanath: $HOME/.gconf/*
[03:14] <sweegee> sudo "command" did the trick
[03:15] <michaels__> DeeTahPanLtah: I went into the dir, did rm -rf *.jpg, and there are still some jpgs in some subdirectories according to nautilus. what am I doing wrong?
[03:15] <hermes> shawarma: i think i am gonna to reinstall apache and reset my router
[03:15] <sweegee> what do i have to say to show my appreciation?
[03:15] <shawarma> sweegee: Do check out the add/remove thing as well.
[03:15] <shawarma> hermes: You say your apache is listening on port 12345?
[03:15] <frog_racer> when i do sudo i get: unable to lookup localhost via gethostbyname()
[03:15] <DeeTahPanLtah> michaels__: tried refreshing? :P
[03:15] <michaels__> yep
[03:15] <shawarma> frog_racer: your /etc/hosts is messed up.
[03:15] <phreakys> hi
[03:16] <shawarma> frog_racer: add '127.0.0.1 localhost' to it
[03:16] <DeeTahPanLtah> michaels__: you can access them?
[03:16] <phreakys> how would i get total write access in kde?
[03:16] <shawarma> frog_racer: either that or your loopback interface it b0rken.
[03:16] <hermes> shawarma: no port 80..but in my router there is "translate port 12345 to port 80" so people i my network go to myip:80, people on the internet to myip:12345
[03:16] <phreakys> i cant access dirs like /usr/share
[03:16] <arno> Hello, when I look for updates on my ubuntu I get an error with the sources... Could anyone help me.. thanks
[03:16] <michaels__> yep DeeTahPanLtah
[03:16] <shawarma> hermes: ah, ok.
[03:16] <michaels__> but then when I go into an actual subdir and run it there it goes good
[03:17] <arno> I get an W: GPG error:
[03:17] <tanath> shawarma: is there a 'proper' way to reset things?
[03:17] <DeeTahPanLtah> michaels__: try rm -f $( ls *.jpg )

[03:18] <michaels__> DeeTahPanLtah: ls: *.jpg: No such file or directory
[03:18] <ircleuser> donno waht to do ..
[03:18] <ircleuser> any advices ?
[03:18] <shawarma> tanath: Hmm... Well, kind of.
[03:18] <ircleuser> looking at docs on wiki and ubuntu.com.. donno what is close to this behaviour ? or is this a freeze ?
[03:18] <DeeTahPanLtah> michaels__: try rm -f $( ls -R *.jpg ) then?
[03:18] <finalbeta> Anyone here ever installed Ubuntu or any linux to an USB stick? Can all PC's boot of it, is it in any way workable? Would be using it as a backup/recovery OS?
[03:19] <Arafangion> ircleuser: Brown, or maroon?
[03:19] <ircleuser> maroon
[03:19] <shawarma> tanath: It's not very easy, though.
[03:19] <arno> does anyone know something about GPG error?
[03:19] <michaels__> I get the same message DeeTahPanLtah
[03:19] <schnepfi> hello guys. can somebody help me. i'm using ubuntu, well, so i have got an external soundcard (usb) but i can't make it work. the sound is played on my internal soundcard and if i change the sounddevice (volume control) it is also played over my internal soundcard :-(
[03:19] <earth|afk> hello
[03:19] <DeeTahPanLtah> michaels__: are those files in your current directory's subdir?
[03:20] <michaels__> yes
[03:20] <earth|afk> i am really confused now. What is the difference between KUBUNTU and UBUNTU ? :S
[03:20] <shawarma> tanath: it involves looking through the files in $HOME/.gconf/ and verifying them.
[03:20] <finalbeta> KDE versus GNOME
[03:20] <DeeTahPanLtah> earth|afk: window manager ;)
[03:20] <shawarma> tanath: There is no easy solution to fs corruption.
[03:20] <earth|afk> so UBUNTU = gnome and KUBUNTU = kde
[03:20] <earth|afk> right?
[03:20] <joe_september82> earth|afk, just the desktop actually
[03:20] <finalbeta> yes
[03:20] <visik7> anyone know how to enable java in opera ?
[03:20] <joe_september82> earth|afk, yeah
[03:20] <shawarma> schnepfi: which player?
[03:20] <extern> KDevelop seems to use konsole to run programs. Is there a way to reconfigure it to use bash instead?
[03:20] <ircleuser> Arafangion: its maroon
[03:20] <finalbeta> (desktop and default programs)
[03:21] <finalbeta> Anyone here ever installed Ubuntu or any linux to an USB stick? Can all PC's boot of it, is it in any way workable? Would be using it as a backup/recovery OS?
[03:21] <shawarma> extern: bash runs inside konsole.
[03:21] <joe_september82> ircleuser, hmmm...any error msgs cming up?
[03:21] <extern> hmm
[03:21] <DeeTahPanLtah> finalbeta: what for if there's cdrom version?
[03:21] <extern> it says that konsole is not found when trying to run a program
[03:21] <arno> ???
[03:21] <tanath> michaels__: try this: for i in $( ls -R *.jpg ) ; do rm $i ; done
[03:21] <schnepfi> shawarma: i tried it with amarok and i also tried a movie player. but there was't a difference
[03:21] <Arafangion> ircleuser: Odd, can't help you, sorry :(
[03:21] <phreakys> ok, how do i make my standard account a root user with the same write permissions?
[03:22] <ircleuser> Arafangion: you seen this i believe .. any clue to what am i supposed to do to correct it ?
[03:22] <ffarzad> any one can help for beginning voip?
[03:22] <finalbeta> DeeTahPanLtah, because you can't change a CD rom (Read only memory)?
[03:22] <extern> oops, I have misread the error message, it doesn't find "/bin/sh"
[03:22] <michaels__> still the same message tanath
[03:22] <DeeTahPanLtah> finalbeta: i dont know,tried simply copying files? ;P
[03:22] <finalbeta> wtf
[03:23] <DeeTahPanLtah> !language
[03:23] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[03:23] <DeeTahPanLtah> ;P
[03:23] <tanath> michaels__: try running bash first..
[03:23] <joe_september82> hehe
[03:24] <Arafangion> ircleuser: If it were brown, I'd assume you had an usually low memory system, and suggest you wait a while, or get more memory.
[03:24] <arno> where do we change the sources on ubuntu and which ones are best?
[03:24] <michaels__> speak to me in newb here tanath, you mean put ./ before the whole thing?
[03:24] <phreakys> you can change your repos in /etc/apt/sources.list arno
[03:24] <phreakys> sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:24] <phreakys> (in console)
[03:24] <DeeTahPanLtah> nano sucks ;d
[03:24] <DeeTahPanLtah> vim ftw!
[03:25] <phreakys> yea, any editor will do
[03:25] <matthewf> what would be the best media player to install on kubuntu which wont need gnome or other big packages that kubuntu doesnt have ?
[03:25] <schnepfi> sp shawarma what do you say?
[03:25] <whitehorseNtiger> How do I edit the "applications" list?  I need to change a launcher.
[03:25] <phreakys> matthewf => xmms?
[03:25] <[joemaxxx] > yeah...just curious..how does on edit the menus?
[03:25] <ircleuser> Arafangion: ok i just closed everything .. i have windows already installed on one partition..now i need to install ubuntu on one .. do i just insert the cd and follow its instruction ?? it doesnt seem to ask me wheter i want to start live cd or install to HD ..
[03:25] <arno> ok and thanks phreakys but which ones do I have to get to make ubuntu turn very well!!?
[03:25] <ircleuser> or does it just install (without asking :-) )??
[03:26] <phreakys> turn?
[03:26] <arno> to have it do date properly?
[03:26] <Ivanowitch> no, but the installer is run from the liveCD boot...
[03:26] <matthewf> phreakys: i need dvd playback etc etc .. i have always used VLC on the mac/pc and like it... does VLC need gnome ?
[03:26] <Arafangion> ircleuser: It'll first run the live-cd, and show you an icon on the desktop for you to actually install it.
[03:26] <DeeTahPanLtah> ircleuser: in newest version,running it in graphical mode starts a live cd,then u just click a "install" icon and tell it what it wants to know ;)
[03:26] <phreakys> vlc will run under kde too
[03:27] <hermes> DeeTahPanLtah: can you try to go to my webserver one more time? http://82.174.132.55:12345
[03:27] <Arafangion> ircleuser: The idea being that it first shows you a demo (Which is quite useful anyway, if you don't want to or can't actually install it - ie, you're at a school or whatever), then you may choose to install it.
[03:27] <[joemaxxx] > yeap yeap
[03:27] <ircleuser> apparenty there are no install button .. there is a text menu ... about 6 itesm .. i selected the first (install/ start live CD) .it did something for 5 mins and froze ..!
[03:27] <phreakys> its in the repositories
[03:27] <phreakys> sudo apt-get install vlc
[03:27] <Arafangion> ircleuser: How much memory do you have?
[03:27] <matthewf> phreakys: gah .. sorry got confused im not useing kubuntu .. im useing the one that has xfce
[03:27] <ircleuser> 384 MB
[03:27] <phreakys> ah ok
[03:28] <phreakys> i guess that should also work
[03:28] <arno> it works hermes
[03:28] <Arafangion> ircleuser: That should be pleanty. What type of system?
[03:28] <DeeTahPanLtah> Interesting ports on cust-55-132.dsl.versateladsl.be (82.174.132.55):
[03:28] <DeeTahPanLtah> PORT      STATE SERVICE
[03:28] <DeeTahPanLtah> 12345/tcp open  NetBus
[03:28] <tanath> michaels__: no, i meant, run 'bash' and then run it in the bash shell that comes up
[03:28] <hermes> arno: really? what do you see?

[03:28] <arno> Yinthe
[03:28] <cornel1> I just installed ubuntu Dapper Drake AMD64.  Totem movie says it needs a plugin to play a DVD.  I  can't find a plugin manager in Totem.  The online help doesn't seem to offer plugins.  What am I missing?
[03:28] <Arafangion> Why the hell does Ubuntu always upgrade my kernel?
[03:28] <arno> hermes yinthe and some fotos
[03:28] <tanath> Matthai: oops
[03:28] <michaels__> tanath: bash: syntax error near unexpected token `do'

[03:28] <hermes> arno+DeeTahPanLtah+others: thanks a lot
[03:28] <tanath> matthewf: amarok prolly
[03:29] <DeeTahPanLtah> hermes: np ;p
[03:29] <Arafangion> How do I get Ubuntu to NOT upgrade the kernel?
[03:29] <DeeTahPanLtah> hermes: though it didnt connect yet...her
[03:29] <DeeTahPanLtah> e
[03:29] <tanath> michaels__: odd. scratch that. type exit
[03:29] <[joemaxxx] > um..skip upgrades? :P
[03:29] <Arafangion> ircleuser: Well, is it a laptop?
[03:29] <ircleuser> no a desktop ..
[03:29] <michaels__> tanath: done

[03:32] <arno> Arafangion ok which one and where do you find thant?

[03:32] <frog_racer> when i do sudo i get: unable to lookup localhost via gethostbyname()
[03:32] <DeeTahPanLtah> if you remove the "#",he won't ignore then anymore and in the next apt-get update you'll get a lot more packets ;p
[03:32] <hermes> DeeTahPanLtah: really thanks
[03:32] <DeeTahPanLtah> frog_racer: same with gksu/kdesu?
[03:32] <DeeTahPanLtah> hermes: really NO PROBLEM ;P
[03:32] <frog_racer> i dont use x

[03:33] <frog_racer> no, and i need access
[03:33] <DeeTahPanLtah> frog_racer: restart it in single-user mode and do passwd root
[03:33] <frog_racer> ok
[03:33] <DeeTahPanLtah> once you've enabled root's account,you can use it with "su" command
[03:34] <daaku> is there any way to determine what config files have been changed since they were installed? (i want to write a script to backup custom changes under /etc)
[03:34] <BrokenSegue> I just got this wierd error, "The package jedit needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. Internal error opening cache (1). Please report". What should I do? Can I override it?
[03:34] <erUSUL> manopulus: i use a combination of urxvt + screen...
[03:34] <DeeTahPanLtah> try removing it,then
[03:34] <DeeTahPanLtah> or first
[03:34] <DeeTahPanLtah> try apt-get -f install
[03:34] <elisiano> manopulus, use screen with the terminal you like most
[03:34] <DeeTahPanLtah> if wont help,try removing ;p
[03:34] <DeeTahPanLtah> elisiano: you're right ;)
[03:34] <DeeTahPanLtah> screen ftw! i love this one
[03:35] <vanjelos>  i have a problem logging in.... i havent used ubuntu for a while now....and i had this issue with the patch that affected many pcs... i cant remember my username, it may be :root, and my password.....what i can do to retrieve it....or somehow solve this issue??
[03:35] <DeeTahPanLtah> manopulus: there's always tty left ;p
[03:35] <daaku> manopulus: xfce4-terminal is pretty good and light weight
[03:35] <elisiano> vanjelos, u don't remember your username? lol. anyway on the installation cd there is the rescue mode
[03:36] <DeeTahPanLtah> vanjelos: access your parition in single-user mdoe and type "cat /etc/passwd | awk -d: '{print $1}' ". you'll get names of all users added
[03:36] <vanjelos> elisiano.....
[03:36] <laurens_s> !umask
[03:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about umask - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:36] <bignose_> is UDF support enabled by default in the dapper default kernal ?
[03:36] <elisiano> try starting it in recovery mode (you have it in the kernel list at boot) and then adjust your username/password
[03:36] <topyli> vanjelos: or simply look at the names of the directories in /home. those are the usernames
[03:36] <DeeTahPanLtah> vanjelos: whoops,i meant cat /etc/passwd | awk -F: '{print $1}'
[03:37] <elisiano> topyli, I guess he cant logon
[03:37] <elisiano> :)
[03:37] <topyli> with a live cd of course :)
[03:37] <elisiano> haha
[03:37] <vanjelos> i had also this issue...with the graphical interface...
[03:37] <tanath> anyone know how to use sed to replace \s with nulls?
[03:37] <laurens_s> Hi! Is is possible, to specify a umask for a certain folder? For instance, I want my umask to be 770 when in /home/laurens/shared, but 700 otherwise
[03:38] <erUSUL> laurens_s: no, afaik you have to do it manually
[03:38] <cornel1> Sorry.. I'm not able to follow the flow here, so much conversation...  If anyone has an answer about getting Totem to read a DVD, could you pm me?  We can continue the conversation in the room, if you like, but just PM as kind of an alert.  Thanks
[03:38] <DeeTahPanLtah> laurens_s: or make a script which does it ;)
[03:38] <erUSUL> !dvd
[03:38] <ubotu> See http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html. Libdvdcss can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[03:38] <erUSUL> !dvd > cornel1
[03:39] <earth|afk> how could i find out if all my hardware is 100% compatible with the ubuntu i want to install ????? is there any software or a list or smth?
[03:39] <elisiano> laurens_s, chmog g+wrxs /home/laurens/shared
[03:39] <topyli> laurens_s: the parent directory must be executable for group, so that group can look inside the child dir
[03:39] <cornel1> Thanks ubotu
[03:39] <DeeTahPanLtah> cornel1: its a bot ;D
[03:40] <DeeTahPanLtah> !ubotu
[03:40] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage
[03:40] <elisiano> bye guys
[03:40] <DeeTahPanLtah> cya
[03:40] <DeeTahPanLtah> whoah,the nvidia module's building!
[03:40] <DeeTahPanLtah> wasn't it cogito? ;p
[03:40] <neuroe> hello
[03:40] <laurens_s> elisiano, I know that works to change it after I created the folders and files, but once I make a new file, I have to do it again. I know I can change /etc/login.defs, but that's global
[03:40] <earth|afk> how could i find out if all my hardware is 100% compatible with the ubuntu i want to install ????? is there any software or a list or smth?
[03:41] <laurens_s> erUSUL, DeeTahPanLtah , topyli : thanks too :)
[03:41] <topyli> earth|afk: boot the live cd and see if everything works
[03:42] <izmaelis> hi, is there a special installation steps for setting up ubuntu with RAID10?
[03:42] <neuroe> I'm trying to change my gnome theme, i installed IceWM, but it says another window manager is already running, how do i use it or is there a better window manager i should try?
[03:43] <kaphein> DeeTah : Codito == Writing code ! :)
[03:43] <Arafangion> arno: I can't remember, but those that sell a copy tend to advertise it like nothing else.
[03:43] <Arafangion> How do I tell Ubuntu I DO NOT WANT THE KERNEL UPGRADED?
[03:43] <Arafangion> (Sorry for shouting, it's my #2 pet hate)
[03:44] <DeeTahPanLtah> Arafangion: wish i knew it ;)
[03:44] <neuroe> Arafangion, don't shout, use a calm assertive tone and tell the ubuntu nicely in plain english the your current kernel is fine
[03:45] <lupine_85> review upgrades before accepting them?
[03:45] <Ackeubu__> !edgy
[03:45] <ubotu> edgy is the current development version of Ubuntu. Version 6.10, codename "Edgy Eft". For support head to #ubuntu+1. For its release schedule, see !schedule
[03:45] <neuroe> !IceWM
[03:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about IceWM - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:46] <kaphein> Arafangion: do you know aptitude ?
[03:47] <bobbob1016> Anyone here using a D-Link DWL-G122 USB wifi dongle?  I am having problems getting it to connect to my WPA router
[03:47] <neuroe> obobo
[03:47] <lupine_85> bobbob1016: I am#
[03:47] <lupine_85> (it's hardware revision B1, right?)
[03:47] <bobbob1016> yeah
[03:48] <lupine_85> rt2570 driver or ndiswrapper?
[03:48] <kaphein> Arafangion: from the term type "sudo aptitude" find your package in the list and either use the menus to mark it for "hold" or press "=" while the kernel package is selected
[03:48] <bobbob1016> rt2570
[03:48] <lupine_85> the driver doesn't support wpa_supplicant. You can use rutilt to set WPA-PSK, though
[03:48] <plastic> Nameeater, so the problem was with nVIDIA drivers o just reinstalled them and everything works properly..
[03:49] <lupine_85> http://ubuntu.lupine.me.uk/dists/dapper/main/binary-i386
[03:49] <bobbob1016> OH, ok, so I have to just install that then?
[03:49] <lupine_85> ralink-config-0.12_386.deb
[03:49] <lupine_85> (from memory ;) )
[03:49] <lupine_85> bobbob1016: yes
[03:49] <lupine_85> never used it myself, but it should "theoretically" work
[03:49] <tanath> my keyboard won't repeat when i hold a key anymore... where's the setting for this?
[03:49] <bobbob1016> lupine_85: which file do I install though?
[03:49] <lupine_85> [14:49]  <lupine_85> ralink-config-0.12_386.deb
[03:49] <FRET> good afternoon
[03:50] <lupine_85> dpkg -i
[03:50] <lupine_85> (well, sudo dpkg -i)
[03:50] <kishore> !java
[03:50] <ubotu> java is an object oriented programming language. To install a java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the Multiverse repository
[03:50] <bobbob1016> I just double clicked
[03:51] <bobbob1016> should I dpkg -i it?
[03:51] <tanath> i've tried System > Prefs> Keyboard, but it makes two letters appear at once, and won't repeat after that...
[03:51] <lupine_85> as long as double-clicking installs it, you should be OK
[03:51] <tanath> how can i fix this?
[03:51] <bobbob1016> should I reboot?
[03:51] <lupine_85> no
[03:52] <lupine_85> just run 'sudo rutilt'
[03:52] <kaphein> Where is the file that specifies what kernel modules are loaded at boot time ?
[03:52] <lupine_85> it is GUI, but doesn't create a desktop entry
[03:52] <FRET> kaphein, /etc/modules
[03:52] <bobbob1016> it still only says WEP
[03:53] <lupine_85> create a new profile
[03:53] <lupine_85> under "Authentication" you have WPAPSK#
[03:53] <bobbob1016> ok, I'll try
[03:53] <lupine_85> encryption switches to TKIP and you can enter your key
[03:54] <patientfox> hey i have quick question... what package(s) should i install to get more fonts for gimp ?
[03:54] <lupine_85> right now it only supports DHCP
[03:54] <Arafangion> kameron: Ok.
[03:54] <habeeb> Flightgears, the flight simulation game, is good? :/
[03:54] <bobbob1016> still only got the 'a'
[03:54] <tanath> for some reason there's no app buttons on the task bar... anyone know how to fix this?
[03:55] <lupine_85> I've got rutilt open here and I can see the option
[03:55] <lupine_85> we've got exactly the same HW and driver
[03:55] <lupine_85> so what's different?
[03:55] <bobbob1016> maybe where I am clicking, one second
[03:56] <Arafangion> kameron: Hopefully that should do it :)
[03:56] <bobbob1016> in Site Survey, I click my router, and click new profile, right?
[03:56] <bobbob1016> add profile*
[03:56] <lupine_85> yes
[03:56] <lupine_85> then the authentication drop box
[03:56] <bobbob1016> and WPA'
[03:56] <hikenboot> hello all--anyone know what this error means? I found some old references to it but none for 6.0.6 I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/var/lib/scrollkeeper/(null)/scrollkeeper_cl.xml"
[03:56] <bobbob1016> ascii key?
[03:56] <lupine_85> should have "open, Shared, WPAPSK"
[03:56] <Arafangion> kameron: Wow, aptitude is nice.
[03:57] <EnoXS> Hey, i've got an HP pavilion dv6025, AMD64 turion X2, Nvidia chipset, when i boot the CD ubuntu 6.06 my notebook crashes halfway the boot.Is there  somebody who had  the same problem?
[03:57] <bobbob1016> that worked
[03:57] <bobbob1016> I feel stupid now, lol
[03:57] <lupine_85> however your router gives it to you

[03:58] <snedar> hi! it seems my gtk themes are messed up -- I can choose between 28 themes but all seem to be either Clearlooks or Human. this might have been caused by having installed gtk2-engines-gtk-qt (removed it now), but I'm not sure. any ideas on how to fix this, or find the problem?
[03:59] <daaku> my computer crashed and now apt gives me this error: E: Unable to parse package file /var/lib/apt/extended_states (1) - anyone know if it can be fixed?
[03:59] <lupine_85> Jimmey: no experience, sorry
[03:59] <poltergeist> can anyone help on installation of Sagem Fast 800 USB ADSL modem ?

[04:00] <Jimmey> I'm trying to share my home directory over a network, and have opened ports 2409 and 111 with firestarter, but I'm still unable to connect to the share - nmap reports that 111 IS open, but that 2409 is not.
[04:00] <illovae> i'm on a livecd and i can't mount my hfs filesystem :/
[04:00] <FRET> tanath, right click on it, -> add to panel ->....
[04:01] <FRET> tanath, you'll get it :-)
[04:01] <BEAR> q
[04:01] <DBO> Jimmey, over samba right?
[04:01] <Jimmey> DBO, with NFS
[04:01] <Dirtycash> Is there an Ubuntu equivalent to music browsing sites like Amazon  (I can't realplayer to work)
[04:02] <Jimmey> DBO, both computers run Ubuntu
[04:02] <[joemaxxx] > Dirtycash, realplayer doesn't work?
[04:03] <DBO> Jimmey, have you tried mounting the nfs share and have you made sure the NFS server is running?
[04:03] <Dirtycash> nope  When i click on a file on amazon it just wants me to download Hurl.exe
[04:03] <BEAR> hello
[04:03] <Ubuntu-Bob> <3 UBUNTU!
[04:03] <[joemaxxx] > Dirtycash, hurl.exe?
[04:04] <Dirtycash> yep
[04:04] <Jimmey> DBO, "mount to NFS server '192.168.0.2' failed.", and how do I make sure it's running?
[04:04] <Dirtycash> whatever that is
[04:04] <tanath> FRET: it's already there, it's just not functioning
[04:04] <[joemaxxx] > couldbe some spyware thing
[04:04] <Dirtycash> So do you have realplayer working?
[04:04] <[joemaxxx] > Dirtycash, did try copy pasting the link to the music on reaplyer?
[04:04] <Jimmey> DBO, port 2049 stays closed, which I think maybe the problem
[04:05] <Dirtycash> yep
[04:05] <radam> Hi. I am trying to rescue some data from a disk (stripped from a maxtor external drive), but I am not sure what file system it is. I was used on OS X before. Is there a way i can determine the FS type, and hence mount it? thanks for any help!
[04:05] <DBO> Jimmey, you issue a start command to its init script in /etc/init.d/
[04:05] <[joemaxxx] > Dirtycash, still didn;t work?
[04:05] <Dirtycash> I will try to config VLC to use wmv files (if that's possible)
[04:05] <Jimmey> DBO, I'll try
[04:05] <tanath> anyone know why the window list on my bottom panel would not be functioning? doesn't display any windows
[04:06] <Dirtycash> no luck on the Realplayer
[04:06] <poltergeist> I can't reset my password for Ubuntu Forums......
[04:06] <[joemaxxx] > yeah VLC reads wmv
[04:06] <poltergeist> is there so many problems ?
[04:06] <Ubuntu-Bob> automatrix...
[04:06] <Dirtycash> by default?
[04:06] <[joemaxxx] > Dirtycash, yup :)
[04:06] <ShoeUnited> Heyo :)
[04:07] <[joemaxxx] > Dirtycash, quicktime, avi, wma, wmv...
[04:07] <Dirtycash> hmm ok let me attempt that Thx
[04:07] <Jimmey> DBO, I started it, and firestarter's blocking connections from the computer that's trying to connect, on port 676
[04:07] <[joemaxxx] > np
[04:07] <DBO> Jimmey, shut off the firewall and see if you can mount it
[04:07] <ShoeUnited> I've got a question. ^_^

[04:07] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)

[04:08] <ShoeUnited> !ask I'm a new user to ubuntu, and I've read there's a problem with xwindows system.  I saw the page for updating, but if ubuntu is not installed yet, how do I do it since I have a live cd/install cd?
[04:08] <Jimmey> DBO. I think as firestarter's just a front-end for iptables, it'll be working in the background, and connections will continue to be blocked
[04:08] <poltergeist> !ask usb
[04:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ask usb - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[04:08] <[joemaxxx] > hehe
[04:08] <EnoXS> Hey, i can't boot ubuntu 6.06 x86-64 on my laptop. It is a HP dv6025 amd64 turionX2with nvidia chipset 430, graphics driver  Go 7200. Is there something i can try to make it work so i can install in onto my harddrive?
[04:08] <Madeye> is there anyway to fix a bad partioning problem without formating ?
[04:08] <matthewf> weee, i have DVD playback, and damn if it wasnt easy heh
[04:09] <ShoeUnited> !ask download
[04:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ask download - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:09] <IceTox> any one of you happend to know where I might find more of those themes used in ubuntu? (gnome)
[04:09] <DBO> Jimmey, firestarter has an option to disable the firewall which dumps the iptables rules
[04:09] <Jack_Sparrow> gnome-look.org
[04:09] <ShoeUnited> The umm, bot I believe will see my question as too large. lol
[04:09] <Jimmey> DBO, it works now - I just opened 676
[04:09] <IceTox> yeah, but which one of them Jack_Sparrow ?
[04:10] <IceTox> gtk? Gnomethemes?
[04:10] <DBO> Jimmey, ok, well done
[04:10] <lupine_85> iptables -L & iptables -F are handy
[04:10] <Jack_Sparrow> IceTox: IYOu can use almost any of those
[04:10] <lupine_85> madeye: depends on the problem
[04:10] <matthewf> xubuntu is definatly in my good books so far, sound worked out of box, and video just needed a little nudge
[04:11] <IceTox> o,, do you happend to know where I load them?
[04:11] <ShoeUnited> I'm a new user to ubuntu (like brand spanking new.  lol), and I've read there's a problem with xwindows system.  I saw the page for updating, but if ubuntu is not installed yet, how do I do it since I have a live cd/install cd?
[04:11] <Jimmey> DBO, how do I unmount a share? XoD
[04:11] <ShoeUnited> Or is the iso's now updated?
[04:11] <Jack_Sparrow> EnoXS: WHat problem are you having fgetting it to install.
[04:11] <DBO> Jimmey, sudo umount sharepoint
[04:11] <lupine_85> ShoeUnited: problem is fixed so won't affect you
[04:11] <Madeye> lupine_85, just bad partioning, I installed the minimal image on 160GB hdd and the output of df -h is less than one GB; so I want to fix that without the need of reformating and installing
[04:11] <Jack_Sparrow> IceTox: Just drop the .tar onto the themem manager
[04:12] <lupine_85> problem was xserver-xorg-core 10.3; live CD has 10.1; current version is 10.
[04:12] <lupine_85> 4
[04:12] <ShoeUnited> Lupine_85:  Ah good.  Cause I already threw away 3 cd's  lol
[04:12] <EnoXS> Jack_Sparrow, the machine boots, let's say half the way, then it blocks.
[04:12] <IceTox> aight Jack_Sparrow :) thanks a lot
[04:12] <nalioth> ShoeUnited: the X problem has long been fixed, you'll have no worries
[04:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Sorry for typing errors, still waiting for coffee
[04:12] <Jack_Sparrow> np ice
[04:12] <lupine_85> Madeye: you can resize partitions, if you need to. what's the physical topology of the disc?
[04:12] <ShoeUnited> nalioth:  Cool.
[04:12] <lupine_85> and what partition type?
[04:12] <lupine_85> (s)
[04:13] <Jack_Sparrow> EnoXS: Trying to run the LIVE it stops.. correct
[04:13] <matthewf> ah yes Shoe reminds me, i take it there is a way of haveing Synaptic look at all packages installed and update the ones that need updating ? (havent used synaptic before)
[04:13] <ShoeUnited> Ty All. I'm going to download again, and try again. lol
[04:13] <EnoXS> Yeah that's right
[04:13] <Madeye> lupine_85, /dev/sda
[04:13] <Jack_Sparrow> EnoXS: Have you had the cd do a self check for errors?
[04:13] <lupine_85> ...and what partitions are on there right now, what type are they, what sizes are they, and how full are they?
[04:14] <Jack_Sparrow> EnoXS: have you tried F6 at the first menu  and used any differnt options
[04:14] <EnoXS> Jack_Sparrow: No i didn't.
[04:14] <Madeye> lupine_85, ext3
[04:14] <lupine_85> just the one partition?
[04:14] <Jack_Sparrow> EnoXS: Grub Boot Options ide=nodma vga=normal nomce acpi=off pnpbios=off xdrvr=vesa xres=800x600 apm=off quiet
[04:15] <Jack_Sparrow> EnoXS: to name a few
[04:15] <ShoeUnited> Oh, another thought comes to mind, will it read/write ntfs so that I can get my files off my other drive and then format it?
[04:15] <ShoeUnited> This would be after OS install.
[04:15] <matthewf> Mark All Upgrades is the option i want if i want to update the whole distro right ?
[04:15] <lupine_85> pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" (that's lowecase L)
[04:15] <EnoXS> Jack_sparrow: Thanks for the help. I will test it and will report this later.
[04:15] <Jack_Sparrow> !ntfs > ShoeUnited:
[04:15] <lupine_85> shoeunited: read ntfs; not write
[04:15] <lupine_85> unless you're brave
[04:16] <ShoeUnited> lol ok ^_^
[04:16] <ShoeUnited> !ntfs
[04:16] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[04:16] <Jack_Sparrow> ShoeUnited: Not a good idea to write to ntfs
[04:16] <tanath> my terminals don't have a menu anymore. how can i get it back?
[04:16] <ShoeUnited> Alright, just was curious on that part.  I remembered when Redhat didn't support either, but mandrake supported both.
[04:17] <MegaMasterX> hello
[04:17] <Jack_Sparrow> ShoeUnited: ntfs write works 98% of the time..
[04:17] <Madeye> lupine_85, http://channels.debian.net/paste/3568
[04:17] <teicah> tanath: rookie mistake.. right click on terminal window space
[04:17] <ShoeUnited> Jack_Sparrow: oic
[04:17] <MegaMasterX> I'm having a little problem with Ubuntu now....
[04:17] <lupine_85> 98% not good enough though ;)
[04:17] <ShoeUnited> lupine_85: I agree lol ^_^
[04:17] <Jack_Sparrow> 2% will bite you where it hurts
[04:17] <tanath> teicah: thx

[04:18] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about filesystem - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:18] <tanath> teicah: actually, my gconf settings got corrupted

[04:18] <ShoeUnited> oops

[04:18] <MegaMasterX> My friend's keyboard is not responding when he boots to ubuntu
[04:18] <ShoeUnited> !ext3
[04:18] <ubotu> ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org
[04:18] <Jack_Sparrow> MegaMasterX: Is it a usb keyboard?
[04:18] <MegaMasterX> Nope
[04:18] <izmaelis> if there are 4 discs connected to same raid controller then I should see it as one hard disk?
[04:19] <MegaMasterX> Jack_Sparrow: It's a PS2 Keyboard
[04:19] <Jack_Sparrow> MegaMasterX: and it works in windows.. and is std ps2 port?
[04:19] <MegaMasterX> and it works on his login
[04:19] <MegaMasterX> Jack_Sparrow: Yes it worked in windows and yes its in a std PS2 port
[04:19] <Jack_Sparrow> MegaMasterX: Are we talking the Live cd or after install
[04:19] <MegaMasterX> Jack: After Install
[04:20] <jhasse> Does anyone know how i can mount mds/mdf-Images with Linux?
[04:20] <Jack_Sparrow> MegaMasterX: SO something was done to trash the install
[04:20] <MegaMasterX> Jack_Sparrow: He said it was successfully installed, with no errors, what is the course of action?
[04:20] <Jack_Sparrow> MegaMasterX: What was the last thing they were doing, changing etc
[04:21] <Dr_Willis> izmaelis,  if its a true hardware raid controller -  i think so. If you set it up in the bios/post screen.. but if its a cheaper more common one - no. you need toset up the right drivers first (i gave up on raid after a while)
[04:21] <longbean> any clues on which package contains a codec called "QDM2"? it's not in win32codecs, it's not in libxine-extracodecs, it's not in ffmpeg, it's not in libquicktime0...
[04:21] <MegaMasterX> Jack: Not a thing
[04:21] <lupine_85> madeye: are you certain that you've got almost no space left on /dev/sda1 ?
[04:21] <lupine_85>  madeye: are you certain that you've got almost no space left on /dev/sda1 ?
[04:21] <lupine_85> it's huge
[04:21] <Jack_Sparrow> MegaMasterX: If he never got into Ub after the hard drive install then just reinstall
[04:21] <krizzer> when i mount a partition and i try to view it is says You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "multi"., how do i view it
[04:21] <Madeye> lupine_85, according to http://channels.debian.net/paste/3569
[04:22] <neuroe> hello

[04:22] <MegaMasterX> Jack: Thank you very much
[04:22] <neuroe> i am insalling KDE on my Ubuntu, and all the KDE apps are showing up in my gnome menus and run in gnome
[04:23] <tom`> has anyone else had problems with emacs python-mode after the emacs snapshot update today?
[04:23] <neuroe> can someone explain this to me? i thought gnome and kde were two different desktops
[04:23] <ShoeUnited> Um, isn't kubuntu the kde version?
[04:23] <neuroe> yea
[04:23] <habeeb> ShoeUnited: yes
[04:23] <erUSUL> neuroe: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[04:23] <Jack_Sparrow> neuroe: yes that is what happens
[04:23] <Dr_Willis> neuroe,  thats how it works.
[04:23] <erUSUL> !kubuntu
[04:23] <ubotu> Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment. For more info see http://kubuntu.org ; to install from Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop. To downgrade your version of kubuntu to an older version see: http://www.linuxfordummies.org/index.php?topic=609.0
[04:23] <neuroe> you can still put kde in ubuntu
[04:23] <krizzer> can someone help with mounting partitions
[04:23] <ShoeUnited> oic ^_^
[04:23] <lupine_85> something isn't matching up... according to df, you've got an 800MB hard drive. According to fdisk, it's 246GB
[04:24] <Jack_Sparrow> krizzer: what type of partition
[04:24] <lupine_85> (s/hard drive/partition/)
[04:24] <krizzer> its ntfs
[04:24] <neuroe> so what is the diffence between kde and gnome then if they are compatible?
[04:24] <erUSUL> !ntfs
[04:24] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[04:24] <krizzer> yes after i did that it tells me that i dont have correct permeissions to view it
[04:24] <lupine_85> kde is better ;) /flame
[04:24] <Jack_Sparrow> krizzer  use diskmounter script
[04:25] <krizzer> ok
[04:25] <neuroe> well the kde apps def look better
[04:25] <Dr_Willis> neuroe,  use one for a while then try it... then try the other...
[04:25] <teicah> !gnomeISbetter
[04:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gnomeISbetter - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:25] <Jack_Sparrow> neuroe: http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/files/diskmounter
[04:25] <extern> is there a way to change "Terminal Emulation" options in KDevelop? There are 2 options: "Use KDE setting" and "Other: ", but it doesn't allow me to specify it
[04:25] <Jack_Sparrow> !best
[04:25] <Dr_Willis> compaiable means they both are now starting to follow the same 'standards'
[04:25] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[04:25] <teicah> google gnome kde holly war
[04:25] <lupine_85>  Madeye: TBH your best bet will be to burn your current files to a CD, and start from scratch
[04:25] <finalbeta> neuroe, no they don't, like look like wannabe but failed XP styled apps.
[04:25] <Dr_Willis> I mixx and match kde and gnome apps all the time
[04:25] <hkBst> neuroe: kde and gnome _are_ two different desktop environments. Still many application written for the one work in the other, if the needed libraries are available
[04:25] <matthewf> one could argue that this desktop environment argument is a moot point as real men use the shell and like it
[04:25] <finalbeta> :p
[04:25] <habeeb> Actually, K3B is supperior :P
[04:25] <matthewf> heh
[04:26] <ShoeUnited> !resolution
[04:26] <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://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[04:26] <[joemaxxx] > yeah...K3B rocks!
[04:26] <Madeye> lupine_85, isn't there anyway to fix and/or find the lost partions without reformating ?
[04:26] <lupine_85> something is seriously wrong with that partition scheme
[04:26] <gnomefreak> everyone take your opinions to #ubuntu-offtopic this channel is for support not opinions
[04:26] <[joemaxxx] > I burn cd's with that baby
[04:26] <neuroe> i like the shell but i was just wondering why they have the same apps for both desktops if they already are compatible with eachother
[04:26] <Arafangion> How do I type in a unicode char by hex code?
[04:26] <lupine_85> you could try e2fsresize
[04:26] <neuroe> i guess that there is too much history in that question
[04:26] <Dr_Willis> i just think the kde and gnome guys need to get their naming more correct/standarzed for their apps.
[04:26] <lupine_85> but that could ust make it worse
[04:26] <Arafangion> Such as 20ac which is the euro sigh: 
[04:27] <Dr_Willis> why have 100+ text editors :P if they read the same text files...
[04:27] <lupine_85> different features :)
[04:27] <teicah> why eat?
[04:27] <Arafangion> Dr_Willis: Because 99+ of them suck.
[04:27] <Jack_Sparrow> neuroe: there is a lot of overhead running kde in gnome or vs versa
[04:27] <lupine_85> joe, vi, nano are all ok as well
[04:27] <neuroe> thanks Jack_Sparrow
[04:27] <Dr_Willis> Arafangion,   like 99% of comments on IRC. :)
[04:27] <FlytteTyr> hello, how do I go about fixing a wireless on a laptop when the card isnt found (same with the normal ethernet card)?
[04:27] <neuroe> that makes sense
[04:27] <Arafangion> lupine_85: vi sucks, vim is significantly improved :)
[04:27] <extern> Is there a way to change the resolution at login screen? And I would like that num lock was on by default
[04:28] <ShoeUnited> I'm used to vim though I haven't had a linux install in years.  lol
[04:28] <unfun> When I try to logon to msn trhough gimp I get a warning saying "unable to authorize"
[04:28] <lupine_85> the only time I use vi is on my SBC
[04:28] <qwerty> hello
[04:28] <Jack_Sparrow> FlytteTyr: By identifying what hadware you have
[04:28] <lupine_85> it's not smart enough to have vim
[04:28] <Madeye> lupine_85, can you explain whats wrong please?
[04:28] <qwerty> i cant start the cd from my laptop
[04:28] <Arafangion> lupine_85: SBC?
[04:28] <matthewf> when i run the Update thing in synaptic, are the updates for stuff like xorg core applyed automaticly ...
[04:28] <qwerty> asus a6000
[04:28] <lupine_85> All that I can figure out is that the ext2fs partition "thinks" that it's 900MB in size
[04:28] <lupine_85> when the physical disc space allocated to it is much higher
[04:29] <Arafangion> Ahh, ctrl + shift does the trick for unicode chars.
[04:29] <lupine_85> e2fsresize can rejig the partition so that it takes up more space
[04:29] <lupine_85> it can also trash your installation
[04:29] <lupine_85> SBC-single board computer
[04:29] <lupine_85> (use it as a router)
[04:30] <matthewf> lupine_85: ahh.. i have a VIA EPIA system here... bigger then a SBC but not by much heh
[04:30] <lupine_85> this uses a Geode processer
[04:30] <FlytteTyr> Jack_Sparrow: Intel PRO/Wireless 3945 ABG is the card
[04:30] <lupine_85> still managed 128MB RAM, though which isn't too bad
[04:30] <Arafangion> lupine_85: You'd probably prefer to use alternatives to vi.
[04:30] <lupine_85> oh, yes. But they aren't on there
[04:30] <Jack_Sparrow> !broadcom
[04:30] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[04:30] <lupine_85> so I effectively have no choice ;)
[04:30] <Arafangion> lupine_85: Ahh, well, that's the deal breaker :)
[04:31] <lupine_85> (well, unless I want to use cat, cut and echo like the REAL men)
[04:31] <[joemaxxx] > waaa i need to rebuild my kernel :(
[04:31] <[joemaxxx] > for the sake infra red *sigh*
[04:31] <erUSUL> Arafangion: intel has a web page with the linux driver of that card
[04:32] <lupine_85> !e2fstools
[04:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about e2fstools - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:32] <matthewf> lupine_85: i have this Mini ITX board installed in a full ATX case... it looks werid
[04:32] <lupine_85> ...what?
[04:32] <erUSUL> Arafangion: http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/
[04:32] <lupine_85> matthewf: mine is about 8"x6" alu case
[04:32] <lupine_85> maybe 2" high
[04:32] <Arafangion> erUSUL: What's this for?
[04:32] <lupine_85> Does anyone know what Ubuntu calls e2fstools?
[04:33] <erUSUL> Arafangion: sorry the msg was for another person...
 you there mate
[04:33] <jay> [Help] How can I write files to USB media with FAT32 in unbuntu?
[04:33] <matthewf> lupine_85: well Mini ITX cases are expensive, picked up a small ATX mini tower for much less
[04:33] <erUSUL> FlytteTyr: http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/
[04:33] <Jack_Sparrow> yep, until coffee is ready, did you get your paste done
[04:33] <lupine_85> my "case" was 20, which I wasn't too impressed with
[04:33] <lupine_85> beats a pizza box though
[04:33] <Jack_Sparrow> jay: yes
[04:34] <neuroe> how do i know which applications are built for gnome or kde now?
[04:34] <Jack_Sparrow> jay: usb media should show up on desktop
[04:34] <erUSUL> jay: plug the usb media wait untill the nautilus (explorer) window comes up and drag'n'drop files there
[04:34] <mathieu> neuroe: apt-get show ...
[04:34] <lupine_85> e.g. http://home.balcab.ch/njoroge/i11.pc.jpg
 weird thing, my problem seems to have fixed itself? for now but i still get that error upon logging in?
[04:34] <matthewf> lupine_85: to get a nice Mini-ITX case + PSU would have cost me over 100 .. this case cost me 60 .. w/ 300w PSU
[04:34] <lupine_85> neuroe: kde apps begin with "k"... ;)
[04:34] <mathieu> neurokde: and watch the dependecies
[04:34] <lupine_85> how much?!
[04:34] <mathieu> lupine_85: not all
[04:34] <jay> [Help] when i try to make a directory on a mounted usb file system, it tells "cann't create directory,:Read-only file system".what can i do?

[04:35] <FlytteTyr> erUSUL: you are a genius :)
[04:35] <neurokde> thanks mathieu
[04:35] <lupine_85> most of the ones that don't, start with q instead
[04:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE: odd.. we can look at it later..
[04:35] <Filox> hello boys

[04:35] <Filox> how can i run jwm on ubuntu?
[04:35] <Filox> i have installed and compiled it
[04:35] <Jack_Sparrow> jay: how do you know it is fat
[04:36] <matthewf> lupine_85: and oh my god that is the most getto case ive ever ever seen, infact why didnt you just run it caseless ?
[04:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE: not now no
[04:36] <matthewf> hehe
 ok
[04:36] <Filox> i cannot find xinitrc to put it jwm string
[04:36] <gnomefreak> neurokde: kde apps depend on lib3-mt gnome apps/xfce apps depend on libgtk  that is the only sure way to know
[04:36] <ShoeUnited> Is it feasible to run WoW in Wine or will cedega be my only choice?
[04:36] <lupine_85> matthewf: not mine ;)
[04:36] <rsk> wow works great in wine
[04:36] <cornel1> I'd asked a question earlier.... ubotu answered with  a link.  I installed the package suggested.  The page then said to run a comand, a build or make script.  I tried.  It said I don't a c compiler.  I installed gcc and ran again.  It still says I don't have a c compiler.  What do I do now?  How do "install" a c compiler, when I just did?
[04:37] <gnomefreak> !wow > ShoeUnited
[04:37] <ShoeUnited> rsk:  Cool ty ^_^
 would it do any harm for me to enter them in a terminal anyhow?
[04:37] <gnomefreak> ShoeUnited: read your pm :)

[04:38] <nzk> Whats a good app for burning a bootable cd like a livecd in Ubuntu?
[04:39] <Jack_Sparrow> jay: you can run gparted, the partitioning program to identify that

[04:46] <mathieu> neurokde: eh?
[04:46] <jay> Jack_Sparrow: thanks, i check the file /etc/mtab,  it tells the usb media is ntfs format, not vfat, so it is not writtable.
[04:46] <mathieu> neurokde: sorry, apt-cache show
[04:46] <krazykit> MegaMasterX: is it a usb keyboard?  if so, try using either a ps/2 keyboard or use an adapter.  there may also be a "legacy" mode in your BIOS for usb

[04:47] <krazykit> MegaMasterX: ah.  um.  well then.  have another keyboard handy?
[04:47] <Renan_s2> liketoprogram: it should be safe, but you should make backups
[04:47] <MegaMasterX> KrazyKit: Hes tried 4 different keyboards
[04:47] <Dr_Willis> liketoprogram,  use a live cd and gparted - is what ive done dozens of times.. defrag/scandisk the partitions befor and after resizing them

[04:49] <punk> hello all
[04:49] <ShoeUnited> Oh! Another question.  currently the ntfs backup drive is set to windows XP compressed (I think they use a form of either gzip or pkunzip) Should I uncompress it before I install? Or will it still read the ntfs anyway?
[04:49] <MrRio> yey: that should do it
[04:49] <lupine_85> why the -1 ?
[04:49] <ShoeUnited> *decompress
[04:50] <ShoeUnited> Hi punk :)
[04:50] <yey> MrRio: thanks
[04:50] <MegaMasterX> krazykit: any ideas what is wrong with that picture?
[04:51] <yey> MrRio: and how can I copy all the files found to the specified single directory?
[04:51] <krazykit> MegaMasterX: not a single clue.  the computer just hates keyboards.
[04:51] <MegaMasterX> T_T
[04:51] <MrRio> yey: Not maintaining folder structure?
[04:51] <MegaMasterX> anyone else know?
[04:51] <lupine_85> pipe the output to cp?
[04:51] <yey> MrRio: yes
[04:51] <cornel1> Well... the build-essential was.... essential ;-)  Thanks
[04:52] <punk> I had a quick question, As I'm waiting for a second hard drive for my laptop to do dual boot with ubuntu, is xgl prety good on ubuntu?
[04:52] <erUSUL> cornel1: no problem
[04:52] <Dr_Willis> MegaMasterX,  these are  usb or ps2 keyboards? how old is this pc?
[04:52] <yey> MrRio: I'd like it to lose its current structure because it has to be completely changed
[04:52] <MegaMasterX> Dr_Willis: Not even a year old
[04:52] <MegaMasterX> and its ps2
[04:52] <punk> I had ubuntu running no problem before but i was curious to see the xgl stuff
[04:52] <iGadget> hi
[04:52] <lupine_85> so cp `find /patho/to/dir -name <pattern>` <dest-dir>
[04:53] <lupine_85> test somewhere unimportant first though
[04:53] <lupine_85> s//!/
[04:53] <iGadget> does anyone know how to change the looks of qt apps in gnome?
[04:53] <Dr_Willis> MegaMasterX,  im suprised a yr old pc even HAS ps2 any more. :P   ive had all sorts of oddties with usb. but never ps2.. you dident plug the thing into the ps2 mouse connector port did ya? :P
[04:53] <Tomcat_> punk: Didn't work with movies for me, but it seems stable.
[04:53] <lupine_85> PS/2 is great :)
[04:53] <Ktron> Is there a program in synaptic that helps you configure settings for dual monitors?
[04:53] <punk> thanks Tomcat_
[04:53] <MegaMasterX> Dr_Willis: It works until the Kernel loads, and it's in the keyboard port
[04:54] <Dr_Willis> iGadget,  i recall there being some check box's under kde control panels to use the same themes in qt/gtk apps.. thought gnome had a similar thing.
[04:54] <Dr_Willis> MegaMasterX,  so it works with grub eh?
[04:54] <punk> Tomcat_: did you try it on a laptop by chance? I do have a nvidia 6800 in mine
[04:54] <lupine_85> weird/non-standard PS/2 port?
[04:54] <MrRio> yey: cp `find | grep cpp` foldertocopyto/
[04:54] <MegaMasterX> Dr_Willis: We cant find out, because the kernel loads and the keyboard doesn't respond
[04:54] <MrRio> yey: might not work if dirs have spaces in the name tho
[04:54] <MegaMasterX> dr_willis: but before it then it works
[04:55] <Dr_Willis> MegaMasterX,  I mean in the grub menus... ya got  'does it work in the bios menus' then 'the grub menus' then the actual booted os. :P
[04:55] <mikeje99> Anyone out there any good with screen resolutions
[04:55] <MegaMasterX> dr_willis: It does work in the bios menu
[04:55] <Dr_Willis> MegaMasterX,  i got a weird pc tht the keyboards work in bios menus and the OS. but NOT in the grub menus . :)
[04:55] <erUSUL> !fixres
[04:55] <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://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[04:55] <MegaMasterX> Dr_Willis: It works in grub menus

[04:56] <santa99> he guys where can i decide if i wan't to hear a sound when my battery charge is very low
[04:56] <mikeje99> Wow thybo you must be the one
[04:56] <MrRio> yey, did that work?
[04:56] <Dr_Willis> MegaMasterX,   could check out the bios and perhaps try disabling the Plug and Play feature. (just grabbing at straws here)
[04:56] <lupine_85> surely to restart your X, you just can ctrl+alt+KP_BKSPACE ?
[04:56] <lupine_85> mm, the bios should be set to "PnP aware OS"
[04:56] <Dr_Willis> MegaMasterX,  also.. Hmm.. can ya ssh into the box from another pc? or cant even get it to install? im wondering if the psaux modules are loading.
[04:57] <MegaMasterX> Dr_Willis: ?
[04:57] <Dr_Willis> I find that DISABLING the PnP Aware OS - works better
[04:57] <Dr_Willis> of course ive had so many odd machines.  its scary.
[04:57] <mikeje99> I'm trying to find a modeline that will get my Samsung 32inch to display 1360x768

[04:58] <rsl> I'm trying to share [via Samba]  a directory on an external HD. [/media/sda1]  Can I just mount it following the same directions as if it were in my /home/public directorys or should I create a symbolic link between /home/public and /media/sda1
[04:58] <rsl> ?
[04:58] <MrRio> yey: backticks, not quotes
[04:58] <MrRio> yey:  cp `find | grep cpp` foldertocopyto/

[04:58] <MrRio> yey, ` is not '
[04:58] <yey> ok
[04:58] <MegaMasterX> dr_willis: theres nothing in his bios about PnP
[04:58] <Dr_Willis> rsl,  not sure that samba follows links that way.

[04:59] <texjoachim> can anyone help me with a printing problem?
[04:59] <yey> MrRio: it works
[04:59] <yey> thanks
[04:59] <MrRio> yey, no probs
[04:59] <texjoachim> I'm using kubuntu 6.06 on both server and client
[04:59] <chastech> Is there anybody out there?
[04:59] <Dr_Willis> MegaMasterX,  its often called somthing else. or hidden in some sub menu.      Other then that.. id say test out some various different live cd's and see if any of them work right.
[04:59] <texjoachim> I can print fine via smb
[04:59] <Arafangion> Dr_Willis: Nothing's scary until you have a pc named "The Old Reliable", which has never been known to crash, even though it's a desktop class system (Not server class), and setup to run as a file server despite having a stick of memory partially inserted with the resulting bright blue sparks flashing through coupled with rather interesting static from the PC speaker. That memory slot is now dead, but everything else works fine!
[04:59] <rsl> Dr_Willis: So it's cool to create an entry in Samba that has path = /media/sda1?
[04:59] <andrewski> chastech: no
[04:59] <mikeje99> I'm beginning to think I should switch back to XP
[04:59] <andrewski> roc_: http://cvs.cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php maybe?
[04:59] <chastech> i believe it
[04:59] <texjoachim> but when I send the printjob via ipp, the printer prints out the pcl statements
[04:59] <MegaMasterX> dr_willis: He checked the CD and no problems showed up
[04:59] <MrRio> mikeje99: What's your problem?
[05:00] <Dr_Willis> rsl,  yep
[05:00] <Arafangion> Dr_Willis: Those 486's were damn fine machines.
[05:00] <ladydoor> chastech: what's the problem?
[05:00] <hikenboot> hello all--anyone know what the squashfs does on the live cd?
[05:00] <Dr_Willis> MegaMasterX,  try DIFFERNT live cd's not just the ubuntu one. It may be some odd kernel issue.
[05:00] <rsl> Dr_Willis: You are a godsend! Thanks so much.
[05:00] <Arafangion> hikenboot: Take a guess :)
[05:00] <chastech> My DVD creator keeps telling me to put in a blank disk

[05:00] <iGadget> Dr_Willis: true, I know these checkboxes in KDE, but that's only to force GTK apps to take the looks of QT apps...
[05:00] <MrRio> mikeje99: having trouble getting a particular device working?
[05:00] <MegaMasterX> Dr_Willis: Ok, me and my friend will try that
[05:00] <Arafangion> hikenboot: Hint: Split up the term "squashfs" into two parts.
[05:00] <iGadget> Dr_Willis: I need it the other way around :)
[05:00] <chastech> im in dapper
[05:01] <Dr_Willis> MegaMasterX,  the DSL live cd is a good tool to haver in any case. :P 50mb of save-your-backside-goodness

[05:01] <lupine_85> mikeje99: does the screen support it?
[05:01] <mikeje99> It's an onboard i810. I've tried 915resolution but no luck
[05:01] <lupine_85> (daft question maybe ;) )
[05:01] <MrRio> mikeje99, ATI or NVIDIA? And what is the make/model of your monitor?
[05:01] <Dr_Willis> iGadget,  see you just showed that kde is better. :P  actually with kde there was some extra package that needed to be installed for that feature.  I dont use gnome enough to know if its even doable.
[05:01] <chastech> its just supposed to write to the dvd or cd i put in it
[05:01] <rsl> Dr_Willis: One more thing, do I need to chmod my /media/sda1 to 777?
[05:02] <MrRio> mikeje99, ahh right, whats ur laptop make/model?
[05:02] <lupine_85> rsl: not a good idea
[05:02] <Dr_Willis> rsl,  no.. you set the permissions on the samba share. and fstab when you mount the thing normally
[05:02] <mikeje99> It's an IBM Thinkcentre s50
[05:02] <andrewski> roc_: here also: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=100472&highlight=cinerella
[05:02] <Dr_Willis> rsl,  you normally NEVER chmod the mount points themeselfs
[05:02] <rsl> Dr_Willis: Is that what the create mask and directory mask are for in the samba conf?
[05:02] <hikenboot> after rebooting i forgot to remount it when customizing the cd and I am trying to figure out what problems this will cause and wether I should restart editing all over again
[05:03] <Dr_Willis> rsl,  bingo
[05:03] <mikeje99> Samsung say it supports 1360x768 @ 60mnz
[05:03] <h4ch3r> look guys : http://www.mininova.org/tor/237420
[05:03] <roc_> andrewski: danke danke man
[05:03] <andrewski> roc_: bitte sehr
[05:03] <ladydoor> chastech: is the cd mounted? i know it sounds like a stupid question, but try the command "soudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0"
[05:03] <iGadget> Dr_Willis: well the weird part is, in my account qt apps look just like gtk apps... but in my girlfriends account, qt apps just look terrible
[05:04] <Dr_Willis> iGadget,  fire up the kde theme tool and select the same theme :P
[05:04] <rsl> Thanks Dr_Willis and lupine_85 for all y'all's help!
[05:04] <Dr_Willis> rsl   http://wiki.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?id=ntfs-en#can_i_mount_an_ntfs_volume
[05:04] <roc_> andrewski: funny how so many people know how to speak german...
[05:04] <ShoeUnited> Oh! Another question.  currently the ntfs backup drive is set to windows XP compressed (I think they use a form of either gzip or pkunzip) Should I decompress it before I install? Or will it still read the ntfs anyway?
[05:04] <Dr_Willis> the deffinitive guide on ntfs info. :P
[05:04] <andrewski> roc_: ausgezeichnet!
[05:04] <ProN00b> is there any dcc download manager for linux ?
[05:04] <Jack_Sparrow> ShoeUnited: Uncompress
[05:04] <chastech> ladydoor:  In dapper if you put in a blank it shows up on the desktop and DVD creator pops up
[05:04] <mikeje99> MrRio do I need to buy a new PCI video card?
[05:05] <ShoeUnited> Jack_Sparrow:  K ty ^_^
[05:05] <roc_> andrewski: Kaffelffel aus silber
[05:05] <MrRio> mikeje99: is this an external monitor your using with this res?
[05:05] <ladydoor> roc:  well this *is* the german channel. note how we're *all* speaking german :-)
[05:05] <ladydoor> chastech: oh
[05:05] <mikeje99> Yes it's a Samsung le32r74bd 32inch lcd
[05:05] <ShoeUnited> The U.S. barely voted English as it's primary language choice in the late 1700's, beating out German by 2 votes
[05:05] <Dr_Willis> Strudle!
[05:06] <chastech> ladyddor:so i dragged my files to it and clicked burn and it tells me insert a blank disk
[05:06] <iGadget> Dr_Willis: I can't find the kde theme tool in gnome... and in KDE it doesn't show the human theme...
[05:06] <andrewski> roc_: PM?
[05:06] <jhasse> Can someone tell me where i can find the php.ini??
[05:06] <ladydoor> chastech: ok, have you tried going ahead and hitting "continue?" i know that sometimes when i try to burn a cd, it tells me to insert a blank disc although one's already in there.
[05:06] <Dr_Willis> iGadget,  run 'kicker'  :) or konquerorer and use its menus to get to the kde control panel thing . i cant rember the name of the kde control panel program
[05:06] <ShoeUnited> 35 minutes until download complete. ^_^
[05:07] <MrRio> jhasse, /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
[05:07] <chastech> ladydoor:let me see

[05:08] <jhasse> How can i make a starter on the desktop which starts nautilus as root?
[05:09] <Jack_Sparrow> chastech: What program are you using ?  I had that problem once and it was user error.  THe software was set to write a CD and I was putting in a dvd..
[05:09] <ladydoor> jhasse: if you right-click on the desktop, do you have an option to create a starter?
[05:09] <MrRio> jhasse, gksudo nautilus
[05:09] <ShoeUnited> Oh ty Providence!  Windows at first said it'd need 1day 0 hours to decompress.  O.o
[05:09] <Jack_Sparrow> jhasse: I did that on mine as well
[05:10] <Jack_Sparrow> jhasse: create a launcher and gksudo nautilus as the command line

[05:12] <DeeTahPanLtah> okay...
[05:12] <ubuntu> merhaba
[05:12] <ladydoor> andrewski: i think that what andrewski means to say is that there's a channel specifically for help with kubuntu issues :-)
[05:12] <ladydoor> andrewski: sorry
[05:12] <ladydoor> DeeTahPanLtah: i think that what andrewski means to say is that there's a channel specifically for help with kubuntu issues :-)
[05:12] <Bo1> how do I go on about fixing "Preparing Restricted Drivers: Failed" at boot up?
[05:13] <DeeTahPanLtah> ladydoor: gathered
[05:13] <andrewski> ladydoor: no, you upgraded my message; thanks. ;)
[05:13] <chastech> ladydoor: Reload a writable or blank Disk - it doesn't have continue - eject, cancel and OK
[05:13] <ladydoor> DeeTahPanLtah
[05:13] <DeeTahPanLtah> YEAH? ;P
[05:13] <ladydoor> chastech: try OK?
[05:14] <Hane> i'm quite new here and the game i was in was terminated, anyone mind helping me know what that means? :>
[05:14] <ladydoor> andrewski: np...
[05:14] <ladydoor> DeeTahPanLtah: oh, i meant to type sorry
[05:14] <chastech> it keeps on poping up - Reload a writable or blank Disk
[05:14] <teicah> say.. I use fetchmail to retrieve my pop mail, and mutt to read it.  If a ms-windows user emails me, and his client requests a return receipt, does he get it?
[05:14] <DeeTahPanLtah> ladydoor: ;'P
[05:15] <chastech> ladydoor: it keeps on poping up - Reload a writable or blank Disk
[05:15] <linux__alien> For a 17 inch monitor whats the suitable screen resolution. Ubuntu puts me in 1280 * 1024 but what is best
[05:15] <ubuntu> is everybody from turkey
[05:15] <Enselic> I'm totally new to sed, and I'm trying to get an extraction of the result of ps
[05:15] <Enselic> I want
[05:15] <Enselic> yada yada 00:00:02 bash
[05:15] <Enselic> yada yada 00:00:01 x
[05:15] <Enselic> yada yada 00:00:02 firefox
[05:15] <Enselic> to become
[05:15] <ladydoor> chastech: oh...crap. have you tried a different program?
[05:15] <Enselic> bash
[05:15] <Enselic> x
[05:15] <Enselic> firefox
[05:15] <Enselic> I am trying this:
[05:15] <trygg> linux__alien: anything that you get 85hz in :)
[05:15] <Enselic> ps -A | sed -e 's/00:00:[[:digit] ] \{2} (.*)/\1/g'
[05:15] <bobbob1016> lupine_85: sorry to bother you again, but I still can't get the DWL-G122 to work, I followed these directions to install the driver (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/DWL-G122_%28Rev_B%29), are you using the daily driver or some other one?
[05:15] <Enselic> but I get this error message:
[05:15] <Enselic> sed: -e expression #1, char 32: unterminated `s' command
[05:15] <Enselic> Can anyone see why?
[05:16] <linux__alien> trygg, i ve now set 1024 * 768 and i ve set it to 85hz is that Ok?
[05:16] <trygg> linux__alien: whatever floats your boat :)
[05:16] <lupine_85> daily
[05:16] <linux__alien> but after seeing 1280 * 1024 This looks very big
[05:16] <erUSUL> Enselic: ps -A | awk '{print $4}
[05:16] <lupine_85> but not using WPA
[05:16] <trygg> If you can get 85hz in 1280 i would personally have runt it
[05:16] <erUSUL> Enselic: ps -A | awk '{print $4}'
[05:16] <bobbob1016> oh, ok, so should I try ndiswrapper then?
[05:16] <ladydoor> Enselic: also, i think that if you put a \ before that space it would help
[05:16] <chastech> ladydoor: na! forget it I'm using dapper and this should really be all set!
[05:17] <ShoeUnited> linux__alien: It depends on what your monitor and drivers can naitively support.  It'd be a good idea to find the boxes for your video card and monitor, or their support booklets.
[05:17] <mkdigital> hi, anyone here?
[05:18] <mkdigital> i've a little problem w my laptop and ubuntu
[05:18] <ladydoor> chastech: um, ok. whatever.
[05:18] <MrRio> mkdigital: ask away :)
[05:18] <Enselic> erUSUL: Hey that was easy :D
[05:18] <Enselic> ladydoor: hmm, it didn't, but you are probably right, I need to escape more characters
[05:18] <ShoeUnited> linux__alien: Like my monitor can do 1900x1280 but for vga input it only supports 1380x1280
[05:18] <mkdigital> problem is, if i insert the instlal cd, and boot up, the system is extremely slow
[05:18] <teicah> gimme a sec, i'll try to read your mind
[05:18] <linux__alien> ShoeUnited, i ve a GE-Force Card  which has got 256 MB VRAM and i ve got a Samsung 17 inches monitor
[05:19] <ladydoor> Enselic: odd...ok, how about this...what if you up the whole expression in quotes?
[05:19] <chastech> ladydoor: I dont know what choices i have in dapper i thought dvd creator was all
[05:19] <erUSUL> Enselic: indeed lol allways choose the right tool for the job
[05:19] <MrRio> mkdigital: It's running from the CD, and can be pretty slow if you have less than 5112mb of ram
[05:19] <mkdigital> well, i got 1G of DDR2 Ram
[05:19] <linux__alien> ShoeUnited, I was initially using FC5 and it used to support only 1024  * 768 resolution but this is the first time i am seeing 1280 * 1024 resolution and it looked very different
[05:19] <mkdigital> its a core duo
[05:19] <ladydoor> chastech: well, in synaptic, you might check out the "other filesystems" section or do a search for "dvd"
[05:20] <mkdigital> 1,6GHz, that shouldnt be the problem
[05:20] <Enselic> erUSUL: yeah, awk was the next tutorial, I did grep and was on sed, awk was next :P
[05:20] <ShoeUnited> linux__alien: Depending on which geforce series, it should support just about any resolution.  go to samsung's site and look for your model number.  It will list what resolutions at what frequencies (hz) it supports.
[05:20] <ladydoor> chastech:  good luck...
[05:20] <MrRio> mkdigital, How slow?
[05:20] <ShoeUnited> linux__alien: Because if you don't pick a good combo, it will look garbled on your screen. I've done that before.  lol
[05:20] <mkdigital> for example clicking install on the deskto to install the system, the screen appears about 1 minute later
[05:21] <chastech> ladydoor:  thanks for your help and wishes i'll need it
[05:21] <linux__alien> ShoeUnited, it does not grabbled it looked perfect just that i thought whether i should change my resolution to 1024
[05:21] <linux__alien> but 1024 looks big
[05:21] <ladydoor> chastech: np. i hope you get this working!
[05:21] <mkdigital> for the whole install procedure, up to the point where it installs to hdd i needet allmost an hour
[05:21] <linux__alien> :-)
[05:21] <mkdigital> i quit it then
[05:21] <MrRio> mkdigital, There is a text-mode installer
[05:21] <chastech> ladydoor:  that's very nice of you to say
[05:21] <linux__alien> ShoeUnited, but when i set it to 1280 * 1024 the refresh rate is set to 60 hz but i am unable to change it. is 60 Ok?
[05:22] <erUSUL> mkdigital: try with the alternate cd
[05:22] <ShoeUnited> linux__alien:  Right, I'm just saying if you're trying something out like cutting tv's together to make a continuous desktop like I did once. lol  Unusually high or unusually paired resolutions & frequencies can make it look funny.
[05:22] <mkdigital> yes, but graphic mode shouldnt be the problem, since other distros are running fine on gnome or kde
[05:22] <erUSUL> !alternate > mkdigital
[05:22] <phargle> mkdigital: and also make sure speedstep is disabled
[05:22] <MrRio> mkdigital, Do you have more than one cd drive?
[05:22] <Ktron> What do I need to install with synaptic to get flash plugins in firefox working?
[05:22] <ShoeUnited> linux__alien:  60Hz is fine.
[05:22] <jazzrocker> mkdigital, meh the installer is slow, what can i say
[05:22] <mkdigital> no it is a laptop
[05:22] <eaque> hi
[05:22] <erUSUL> Ktron: flash-plugin ??
[05:22] <jazzrocker> mkdigital, a core duo laptop?
[05:22] <mkdigital> hmm how can i disable speedstep
[05:22] <ladydoor> chastech: well, that's because i'm super-nice, *obviously* :-)
[05:22] <mkdigital> yes
[05:23] <mkdigital> T2050
[05:23] <MrRio> Ktron, flashplugin-nonfree
[05:23] <erUSUL> Ktron: flashplugin-nonfree
[05:23] <MrRio> Ktron, make sure you enable the universe repo
[05:23] <MrRio> mkdigital: in your bios usually
[05:24] <chastech> ladydoor:  yes it is very obvious I wish I had a picture of you
[05:24] <mkdigital> hmm bios doesnt let me change much
[05:24] <mkdigital> except time and boot order
[05:24] <jazzrocker> mkdigital, given that the hardware is so new i'd be reluctant to drop the $$$ on one for linux, though i've heard they're fully compatible
[05:24] <MrRio> mkdigital, I've had a couple of laptops with speedstep, and they've both had an 'on' 'off' in the bios
[05:24] <jazzrocker> mkdigital, yeh and then there's that
[05:24] <ladydoor> chastech: no offense, but i don't give out anything identifiable except my gender and my first name over the internet if i don't have to
[05:24] <jazzrocker> ladydoor, i don't even give out my first name
 to right
[05:25] <mkdigital> you think speed step is the reason? downclocked to 800Mhz?
[05:25] <jazzrocker> but i'll give either of my genders to anyone who's lacking one :P
[05:25] <mkdigital> yes, laptop is new
[05:25] <chastech> ladydoor: oh no darlin - it was a compliment
[05:25] <mkdigital> benq joybook r55
[05:25] <ladydoor> jazzrocker: well...door may not even be my first name :-)
[05:25] <ladydoor> chastech: ...
[05:25] <ShoeUnited> ladydoor: I let them know just about everything about me.  If they're some crazy, I'll kill them.  lol
[05:25] <jazzrocker> hah
[05:25] <jazzrocker> mkdigital, benq makes notes?
[05:26] <mkdigital> yes, but i think its onyl popular in europe
[05:26] <nomad111> hey everyone where can i change the gfx card type for my laptop in ubuntu
[05:26] <nomad111> like get access to other drivers
[05:26] <jazzrocker> ahhh, i was gonna say: you bought a laptop from a CD-Burner manufacturer?
[05:26] <lupine_85>  /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:26] <nomad111> coz at the moment my max resolution can only be 1024x768
[05:26] <ladydoor> ShoeUnited: good plan. but i keep having to move further out to bury the bodies as it is. *sigh*
[05:26] <MrRio> nomad111: what make of graphics card does your laptop have?
[05:26] <nomad111> and its frustrating
[05:26] <chastech> jazzyrocker: why would anyone ask you your name
[05:26] <nomad111> intel 945gm
[05:26] <ShoeUnited> LOL
[05:26] <erUSUL> nomad111: try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
[05:26] <hand_> Hey
[05:26] <MrRio> nomad111, install 9115resolution in synaptic
[05:26] <hand_> I get an apt-get install error
[05:27] <jazzrocker> chastech, no one has so far
[05:27] <ShoeUnited> ladydoor:  It helps to have a father who does reburials for a business. ;)
[05:27] <nomad111> MrRio: i did that and then what
[05:27] <ladydoor> hand_:  what error?
[05:27] <mkdigital> jazzrocker benq manufactures tft's, laptops and much more, but i think they're big in europe, not in US
[05:27] <jazzrocker> chastech, and my name has no y in it
[05:27] <nomad111> MrRio: where do i go from there
[05:27] <MrRio> nomad111, restart the X server, ctrl+alt+backspace
[05:27] <ladydoor> ShoeUnited: aha! that would be helpful. unfortunately, mine doesn't :-(
[05:27] <jazzrocker> mkdigital, the benq USA site doesn't list any laptops so i guess not
[05:27] <ladydoor> hand_:  what error?
[05:27] <gre1> is there an nes emulator for ubuntu that i dont have to compile?
[05:28] <Dr_Willis> !info nes
[05:28] <ubotu> Package nes does not exist in any distro I know
[05:28] <chastech> jazzrocker: i didnt put one in it - mine doesnt have any e's or a's
[05:28] <mkdigital> well, i tryed few distros now, fedora, opensuse, debian(!!!), and they all installed fine, exept ubuntu
[05:28] <Dr_Willis> gre1,  try 'apt-cache search nes'
[05:28] <Ktron> so if I open up synaptic, have every repository checked except for the CDs, and search for 'flashplugin-nonfree' and don't find anything...
[05:28] <mkdigital> and they all worked out with gnome or kde
[05:28] <ShoeUnited> I'm sorry, but what's so bad about compiling.  I was soooo proud of myself when I compiled the first time.  Course this was quite a few years ago under Redhat 9.  I now feeling so newbish.  lol
[05:29] <Dr_Willis> gre1, nestra - Nintendo Entertainment System emulator
[05:29] <jazzrocker> chastech, "<chastech> jazzyrocker: why would anyone ask you your name"
[05:29] <jazzrocker> ------------------------^
[05:29] <chastech> jazzrocker: got ya!!!
[05:29] <ShoeUnited> ouch,..
[05:29] <gre1> theres nothing wrong with compiling i just dont intend to learn how
[05:30] <jazzrocker> chastech, jazzy is an adjective to describe eccentric and or girlie mannerisms. jazz is a genre of music.
[05:30] <MrRio> You feel kinda bad when you tell someone to restart the X server and they dont come back
[05:30] <mcphail> gre1: zsnes does super nintendo
[05:30] <jazzrocker> MrRio, hahaha
[05:30] <ladydoor> gre1: it is a very useful skill to have if you want something not in the repos...plus, it's just three commands:  ./configure, make, & then sudo make install
[05:30] <ShoeUnited> Now I feel bad for DJ Jazzy-Jeff
[05:30] <gan|y|med> hi
[05:30] <Dr_Willis> Some times its just 3 commands. :P
[05:30] <chastech> jazz: chas is short for Charles
[05:30] <ladydoor> Dr_Willis: yeah
[05:31] <jazzrocker> ShoeUnited, hehehe, he was nevery very un-jazzy in the first place - so the name fits anyway :)

[05:31] <mcphail> Hmm, compiling is not really a skill...
[05:31] <ShoeUnited> lol
[05:31] <erUSUL> Ktron: it is in multiverse
[05:31] <gre1> ladydoor:DAMN u
[05:31] <ShoeUnited> mcphail: to a windows user it's high tech s***
[05:31] <ladydoor> mcphail: right, but semantics
[05:31] <mcphail> ...and neither is ./configure && make && sudo make install universal
[05:31] <gre1> now i kno:(
[05:31] <ladydoor> gre1: that was totally uncalled for. back off
[05:32] <jazzrocker> mcphail, sure it's a skill if you're not a coder
[05:32] <ShoeUnited> gre1: ... and knowing is half the battle... G.I. JOE!
[05:32] <linuxboy> I have a problem with universal
[05:32] <linuxboy> 17:31 < gre1> now i kno:(
[05:32] <mcphail> And, of course, checkinstall is a much more useful command than make install
[05:32] <linuxboy> gah
[05:32] <nox-Hand> Hey
[05:33] <nox-Hand> I get this apt-get error, and I need help :/  http://paste.lisp.org/display/24809
[05:33] <jazzrocker> mcphail, i'm a coder and i don't even know about checkinstall lol... what's that do by default?
[05:33] <ShoeUnited> I always wondered though, if knowing is half the battle what is doing?  Firing weapons and forgetting about Destro for a week?
[05:33] <mcphail> jazzrocker: it'll make and install a .deb file which can be removed later, reinstalled or shared with dpkg or qpt
[05:34] <mcphail> apt

[05:34] <ShoeUnited> I mean, we're kids right?  They just assume we know the other half of the battle.  So now I know, but that doesn't help since I wasn't told to follow in that knowledge. :/
[05:34] <jazzrocker> mcphail, huh... so that's a deb/ubuntu specific thing then?
[05:34] <mcphail> jazzrocker: no, it can make rpms etc as well
[05:34] <phargle> ShoeUnited: its like, you know enough not to take a toaster in the bathtub - so thats half.. the other half is keeping your head above the water
[05:35] <jazzrocker> mcphail, i guess i'm wondering: is that part of the makefile? or is that part of make?
[05:35] <ShoeUnited> But if the toaster is plugged in, it doesn't matter how far my head is above water.  Electricity is like that.
[05:35] <mcphail> jazzrocker: the problem with "make install" is that there is often not an "uninstall" rule in the makefile
[05:35] <MattRhodes> when using automatix, at the end of a package installation it prompts me to choose if I want to restore my original source file, should I click ok or cancel?
[05:35] <mcphail> jazzrocker: it is a separate package
[05:35] <linuxboy> I have a problem with nautilus eating all my ram
[05:35] <GameOver69> hey guys.... i know i hav java installed and im sure i have the firefox plugin installed.. but everytime i go to a webpage that has java firefox crashes... what can i do to fix this?
[05:35] <jazzrocker> mcphail, erm... what is a separate package?
[05:35] <linuxboy> I have a problem with nautilus eating all my ram and my cpu and swap
[05:35] <ladydoor> MattRhodes: something you might do is to back up your original source file and hit yes, and then copy-paste any lines you want to keep into the new one
[05:35] <mcphail> jazzrocker: checkinstall
[05:36] <nox-Hand> I get this apt-get error, and I need help :/  http://paste.lisp.org/display/24809
[05:36] <jazzrocker> mcphail, as in a fully separate program from make? or as in a component for make?
[05:36] <jazzrocker> or as in something else
[05:36] <Arafangion> Does Ubuntu install TAP network interfaces by default?
[05:36] <MattRhodes> ladydoor: hi again, sorry I'm still a n00b I'm afraid, I dont even know what a source file is, let alone finding it :p
[05:37] <jazzrocker> Arafangion, if you're smart enough to ask you're smart enough to go find out :)
[05:37] <mcphail> jazzrocker: it will call make with the "install" target, but instead of letting make do the copy commands to /usr/bin etc, it will create a .deb which can be installed
[05:37] <ShoeUnited> lol I'm sitting here going "What's a TAP network?" lol
[05:37] <jazzrocker> mcphail, huh ok
[05:37] <jazzrocker> ShoeUnited, me too actually
[05:37] <theneb> lo all, can I install Ubuntu Dapper off my install of gentoo?
[05:37] <ladydoor> MattRhodes: oh! lol. sorry. don't worry, we're all noobs at heart :-). and it's at /etc/apt/sources.list. so do "cp /etc/apt/sources.list ~/sources.list.bak
[05:37] <ladydoor> "
[05:38] <ladydoor> theneb: like, on top of it?
[05:38] <Arafangion> jazzrocker: Point!
[05:38] <jazzrocker> theneb, hahahah, you've got gentoo but you don't know the answer to that question?
[05:38] <theneb> I'm looking for some sort of install on the cd
[05:38] <jazzrocker> theneb, define "off of"
[05:38] <theneb> I want to have both
[05:38] <ganymed_> hi
[05:38] <ganymed_> does anybody use the proprietary ati drivers in version 8.28?
[05:38] <jazzrocker> theneb, the Ubuntu installer will resize partitions
[05:38] <ladydoor> theneb: oh, ok. you need to make a / partition for ubuntu
[05:38] <MattRhodes> ladydoor: btw I've made some headway with the greeter crash, a couple of other people have made an entry on the forum about it, but no-one knows what to do about it, but I discovered if I choose plain theme it still gives the crash message but loads the theme, and if I choose themed it gives the crash message and loads Gnome Desktop Manager, so at least I get my theme, lol
[05:38] <jazzrocker> theneb, so just make a new partition for Ubuntu
[05:38] <ladydoor> theneb: you do have a separate /home partition, right?
[05:38] <theneb> yes the partition is all there, but where is the ubuntu installer on the cd
[05:39] <theneb> ?
[05:39] <GameOver69> hey guys.... i know i hav java installed and im sure i have the firefox plugin installed.. but everytime i go to a webpage that has java firefox crashes... what can i do to fix this?
[05:39] <jazzrocker> ladydoor, using the same /home between gentoo and Ubuntu could easily be a bad idea
[05:39] <ladydoor> MattRhodes: well, i'm glad you're making headway :-D
[05:39] <MrRio> GameOver69: how did you install the java-plugin?
[05:39] <MattRhodes> lol
[05:39] <jazzrocker> so i'm not sure what a separate /home has to do with anything
[05:39] <ladydoor> jazzrocker: good point. it would be nice to have access to your personal files though
[05:39] <jazzrocker> ladydoor, it's called mount
[05:39] <GameOver69> MrRio, repos... i used the sunjava 1.5 one
[05:40] <ladydoor> jazzrocker: yeah, that's true.
[05:40] <MrRio> GameOver69, hmm, strange, which sites have you tried?
[05:40] <jazzrocker> ladydoor, and ubuntu installer will detect and mount the gentoo partition if it can
[05:40] <theneb> where is the ubuntu installer though?
[05:40] <jazzrocker> theneb, yes, the ubuntu install is on the CD
[05:40] <eric__> I wonder if anybody has time for a newbie question?
[05:40] <GameOver69> anything with java.... like not even myspace will work
[05:40] <theneb> in what path?
[05:40] <ladydoor> eric__: what's the question?
[05:40] <eric__> I have ubuntu all installed and set up on a Celeron box I have here.
[05:40] <ladydoor> theneb: it's on the desktop
[05:40] <GameOver69> java works though... because azureus opens fine
[05:40] <ShoeUnited> Make sure that firefox knows how to handle the java in its config.  sometimes it needs kicked in the head.  lol
[05:41] <GameOver69> so its something with mozilla
[05:41] <jazzrocker> theneb, it's a live installer so you must boot from the CD all the way into X and then run the Installer from GNOME
[05:41] <eric__> I have a big huge hard disk (250 Gb) which presently is all one partition.
[05:41] <nox-Hand> Help?
[05:41] <MattRhodes> ladydoor: also I used automatix to install the OpenOffice clipart, but I cant find it anywhere, would that be because I restored the original source file?
[05:41] <jazzrocker> theneb, or KDE for Kubuntu or XFCE for Xubuntu etc etc
[05:41] <GameOver69> ShoeUnited, well how can i kick it in the head?
[05:41] <theneb> I know that it's on the desktop if I boot the cd, however I'd prefer not to loose the gentoo functionality whilst I install] 
[05:41] <jazzrocker> GameOver69, ktorrent > azureus
[05:41] <eric__> I want to install OpenSUSE and Freespire too.
[05:41] <theneb> Hence I would like to install Ubuntu whilst still in gentoo
[05:41] <jazzrocker> theneb, wiki
[05:41] <ladydoor> MattRhodes: you should still be able to find it...try restarting openoffice?
[05:41] <GameOver69> jazzrocker, thanks but i like azuereus
[05:41] <jazzrocker> GameOver69, ever tried ktorrent?
[05:41] <harisund> Hello! Does anyone know of a good DHCP server for Ubuntu? All the DHCPd I have tried so far assume that all my network interfaces should be used for listening. I want my eth0 to be a DHCP client and eth1 to be a DHCP server please.
[05:41] <jazzrocker> GameOver69, it doesn't require java
[05:41] <GameOver69> jazzrocker, no
[05:42] <eric__> Is there a good tutorial/idiot's guide that would walk me through partitioning and setting up GRUB?  Is it even possible to do this without screwing up my Ubuntu?
[05:42] <ShoeUnited> Azureus takes up too much processing power with java for my liking.
[05:42] <MrRio> GameOver69: didn't think myspace used java, isn't it just flash?
[05:42] <ladydoor> theneb: you probably need one of the specialty install cds then, instead of the desktop livecd
[05:42] <MattRhodes> ladydoor: okay, once its installed should there be an option added to openoffice for clipart?
[05:42] <nox-Hand> Please?
[05:42] <nox-Hand> ;)
[05:42] <jazzrocker> GameOver69, so then how do you know whether you like azureus better than ktorrent?
[05:42] <ShoeUnited> It's why I'm ditching windows.
[05:42] <nathanael> *sigh*
[05:42] <Arafangion> jazzrocker: I'm hoping ot use it as a means of using the Uni VPN.
[05:42] <GameOver69> MrRio, thats what i thought... but other sights with flash work so... i assume its because of java
[05:42] <gre1> nvr ditch windows
[05:42] <ladydoor> MattRhodes: i *think* so...i don't use openoffice, but that would be my guess :-)
[05:42] <Buller> when is ubuntu being updated-?
[05:42] <jazzrocker> Arafangion, well good for you. i hope that works out.
[05:42] <GameOver69> jazzrocker, i dont :)
[05:42] <Arafangion> gre1: I've ditched windows, using qemu to run it instead.
[05:42] <MattRhodes> ladydoor: cheers
[05:42] <visik7> harisund: dhcp3-server
[05:42] <nathanael> I'm on SLED 10.1 because XGL works out-of-the box. But I wish it was ubuntu... (Dell Lat. D800)
[05:42] <eric__> Buller - edgy is due out 10/06.
[05:42] <theneb> I'll give the alternative cd a go
[05:43] <mcphail> Buller: it is updated on an almost daily basis
[05:43] <MrRio> GameOver69: you can disable the plugin in firefox preferences
[05:43] <nathanael> Why can't it be so easy on Ubuntu?
[05:43] <ladydoor> MattRhodes: lol...thanks. you would've figured it out though :-)
[05:43] <jazzrocker> GameOver69, so then don't imply that you know whether you like azureus better
[05:43] <Buller> super...
[05:43] <MattRhodes> ladydoor: btw what is the 'source list' ?
[05:43] <jazzrocker> ala "<GameOver69> jazzrocker, thanks but i like azuereus"
[05:43] <nox-Hand> Buller: You dont even use Ubuntu, fatbutt :P
[05:43] <GameOver69> MrRio, how can i do that
[05:43] <MrRio> GameOver69, preferences > content > enable java
[05:43] <Buller> watch your language,,,
[05:43] <MrRio> GameOver69, in the edit dropdown
[05:43] <nox-Hand> Stop spamming the network with useless info, you are right beside me, nerd wannabe
[05:43] <GameOver69> jazzrocker, cause i do... i still use it in winblows... iover all the other non java clients
[05:43] <eric__> Little help?
[05:44] <ladydoor> MattRhodes: it's a file that tells apt-get (which is what synaptic, aptitude, etc. are frontends to) where to look for packages
[05:44] <ShoeUnited> GameOver69:  http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml
[05:44] <visik7> nathanael: xgl is made by novell
[05:44] <eric__> Looking for a guide to partition and configure GRUB so I can use multiple linux distros.
[05:44] <ShoeUnited> That'll test virtual machine for you.
[05:44] <visik7> nathanael: btw isn't so difficult to setup xgl on ubuntu
[05:44] <MrRio> GameOver69: try that and tell me if you still get the crashes
[05:44] <nathanael> YEs, it is.
[05:44] <jazzrocker> GameOver69, whatever, i guess this is all a bit over your head, that's ok :)
[05:44] <GameOver69> MrRio, its enabled
[05:44] <MrRio> GameOver69: disable it
[05:44] <nathanael> It doesn't ever work right
[05:44] <nathanael> crashes the gnome session etc.
[05:44] <Arafangion> jazzrocker: The hard part is finding _correct_ instructions :(
[05:44] <eric__> visik7: Been trying to get XGL/COmpiz to go for weeks - well beyond my novice nerd skill level.
[05:44] <GameOver69> ShoeUnited, firefox tells me i need to install the plugin
[05:44] <jazzrocker> Arafangion, and what do i have to do with the price of beans in China?
[05:45] <ShoeUnited> Check your settings.
[05:45] <visik7> eric__: I got xgl working in 5 minutes following the guide on the wiki
[05:45] <nathanael> eric_: SLED 10.1 does it with the click of  buttin
[05:45] <nathanael> *button
[05:45] <GameOver69> MrRio, why would i disable it?
[05:45] <MattRhodes> ladydoor: ahh right
[05:45] <eric__> nathanael - What about OpenSUSE?
[05:45] <nathanael> But does not have the community, IRC chan, or apt-goodness of ubuntu
[05:45] <Arafangion> jazzrocker: You may do with beans whatever you like :)
[05:45] <eric__> nathanael - Gots no money.
[05:45] <nathanael> Not sure about opensuse
[05:45] <nathanael> Me neither
[05:45] <visik7> eric__: what do you want to do with grub ?
[05:45] <MrFlint> Hello, can someone assist me with a problem i have, installing Ubuntu?
[05:46] <nathanael> I have the DVD and a temp serial
[05:46] <jazzrocker> Arafangion, well i'm glad i have your permission :P
[05:46] <jazzrocker> MrFlint, just ask
[05:46] <ShoeUnited> GameOver69:  about:config  type that in your firefox address bar.  Search for java
[05:46] <jazzrocker> MrFlint, if we can, we'll help
[05:46] <eric__> visik7 - I'm not sure I even know what I'm saying - I want to be able to choose which distro I run when I launch - ubuntu, openSUSE or freespire.
[05:46] <Jamminpotato> so if i have a hdd thats mounted, its an ext2 fs, and it is set to read only, how can i change that...would i use chmod?
[05:46] <nathanael> I'm wondering if anyone here has XGL on Ubuntu on a Dell LAtitiude D800?
[05:46] <GameOver69> MrRio, i disabled it but it still crashes
[05:46] <Dr_Willis> eric__,  using several different linux distros at the same time - can take some work.
[05:46] <GameOver69> ShoeUnited, ok one sec
[05:46] <visik7> eric__: depending on your setup you need to add a section for each distro
[05:47] <visik7> eric__: btw
[05:47] <MattRhodes> does anyone else know for sure where you would find openoffice clipart once automatix installed it?
[05:47] <linux__alien> I have kept 1024 * 768 as my resolution i want to change the font size of the whole gnome desktop environment to a lesser size. How do i do that?
[05:47] <MrFlint> well for some reason i cant get past the loading stage, after the bar gets full it switches to a blank screen with a single non flashing underscore...
[05:47] <eric__> Dr_Willis - the work doesn't bother me - Question is if I can do it without screwing up what I've done on ubuntu.
[05:47] <Dr_Willis> eric__,  normally you pick one to keep track of the grub/mbr then you use it to configure grub to allow the others to boot.
[05:47] <visik7> eric__: if ubuntu is the first linux you have installed you should have grub installed in Mbr
[05:47] <eric__> visik7: OK.
[05:47] <Jamminpotato> so if i have a hdd thats mounted, its an ext2 fs, and it is set to read only, how can i change that...would i use chmod?
[05:47] <Dr_Willis> eric__,  if your Grub-Fu is strong. :P its not hard.. BUT ubuntu uses taht update-grub stuff whenever a new kernel is installed.. that may undo your changes
[05:47] <ladydoor> MattRhodes: later on you'll probably end up adding lines to it if you want some weirdo thiny that's not in the repos. it's basically just copy-paste stuff
[05:47] <ladydoor> jazzrocker: Arafangion:  personally, i'm a fan of eating them
[05:47] <GameOver69> ShoeUnited, ok there are a few lines in the about:config
[05:47] <visik7> eric__: is this your situation ?
[05:48] <JamieBE> Can someone please tell me what the lost + found directory is for please, it is sitting at 6GB and I am running low on space now. Is it safe to clear this folder?
[05:48] <Dr_Willis> JamieBE,  when fsck finds files that are lost - they7 get tossed in there.
[05:48] <ShoeUnited> GameOver69: Type in java into the filter bar.
[05:48] <MrFlint> now i tested the cd with the tester that comes with it and it fine, no corruptions or anything.. but it just freezes after loading
[05:48] <eric__> visik7: Right now I have straight ubuntu on a 250 Gb hard drive on an x86 (celeron) frankenstein box I put together.
[05:48] <erUSUL> JamieBE: is for files recupered by fsck
[05:48] <MattRhodes> ladydoor: what is likely to happen if I let automatix overwrite my source file?
[05:48] <GameOver69> ShoeUnited, did that
[05:48] <ShoeUnited> K
[05:48] <visik7> eric__: so you need to resize it
[05:48] <Dr_Willis> JamieBE,  that meads you have had some serious drive issues lately it seems.
[05:48] <JamieBE> What is fsck?
[05:48] <jazzrocker> Jamminpotato, file system check
[05:49] <eric__> visik7: Can I do that without having to nuke my drive?
[05:49] <MrFlint> so im curious what did i do wrong?
[05:49] <Dr_Willis> !fsck
[05:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fsck - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:49] <ShoeUnited> GameOver69: You should have about 8 options
[05:49] <f1assistance> what would I use to play .wma files?
[05:49] <Jamminpotato> jazzrocker, why would i fsck it?
[05:49] <visik7> eric__: I've used gparted booted from my usb stick and everything was fine
[05:49] <ladydoor> MattRhodes: i don't know what it would overwrite it with, which is why i'd suggest making a backup. but as to the lines it would put in there, it would basically allow for easy upgrades of everything it installed. as it is, they'll just be static
[05:49] <eric__> flassistance: Real is supposed to have .wma support now.
[05:49] <erUSUL> JamieBE: the 6Gb (5% of total size) are reserved by default in root filesystem to avoid fragmantation and other problems
[05:49] <jazzrocker> Jamminpotato, if you had a power outage and didn't get to manually shut down
[05:49] <GameOver69> ShoeUnited, there are 11
[05:49] <linux__alien> I have kept 1024 * 768 as my resolution i want to change the font size of the whole gnome desktop environment to a lesser size. How do i do that?
[05:49] <Dr_Willis> f1assistance,  vlc, xine, mplayer can play MANY of them - with the right codecs installed.
[05:49] <Jamminpotato> jazzrocker, i jsut mounted it
[05:49] <teicah> unig * ladydoor nthdegree
[05:49] <eric__> visik7: How'd I do that?
[05:49] <ladydoor> MattRhodes: which in most cases hopefully shouldn't be an issue. i didn't let it overwrite mine.
[05:49] <jazzrocker> Jamminpotato, if your dog runs into your computer at high speed while you were copying a 3G file
[05:49] <jazzrocker> ----^ happened to me
[05:49] <visik7> eric__: download gparted
[05:49] <nathanael> eric_: You can install the other distros one at a time, and have them chop the HDD into partitions: One swap space, and at least a root (/) partition for each of the distros you want.
[05:49] <JamieBE> erUSUL: Can i clear this folder?
[05:49] <f1assistance> eric__:  thx
[05:49] <teicah> oops
[05:50] <erUSUL> JamieBE: fsck is the program that checks the fs for errors
[05:50] <MattRhodes> ladydoor: okay, thanks for the help again :)
[05:50] <JamieBE> I am not missing any files to my knowledge
[05:50] <erUSUL> JamieBE: does it have files inside?
[05:50] <f1assistance> r_Willis: and where do I get the right codecs?
[05:50] <ladydoor> MattRhodes: glad to help!
[05:50] <eric__> flassistance: I picked that up from a couple of good Linux podcasts.
[05:50] <ShoeUnited> GameOver69:  That's fine, I'm still on windows waiting for ubuntu to install but on the one that says: javascript.enable   the last column should say true
[05:50] <nathanael> But have each one after the first install the boot loader in their root partition, not the MBR
[05:50] <Dr_Willis> f1assistance,  thats a Faq! :P
[05:50] <Dr_Willis> !w32codecs

[05:50] <jazzrocker> Jamminpotato, during the course of normal usage files and information about them can become skewed
[05:50] <visik7> eric__: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[05:50] <MrFlint> could it be some sort of incompatible hardware on my part?
[05:50] <Jamminpotato> ok...i'll try it,, though its a brand new partition just mounted
[05:50] <JamieBE> erUSUL: It has lots inside, mostly just PNGs of window captures for some reason?
[05:51] <visik7> eric__: boot it, and resize the partition
[05:51] <GameOver69> ShoeUnited, yes it does
[05:51] <f1assistance> Dr_Willis: i'll look for them, thx
[05:51] <nathanael> Then make an entry in your first distro's /boot/grub/menu.lst poitning to the other distros
[05:51] <jazzrocker> Jamminpotato, does it have a filesystem on it?
[05:51] <visik7> eric__: you have ext3 fs or what ?
[05:51] <Jamminpotato> and ubuntu says root can right too it jut nto normal users...what if i add uid="my user id" to the fstab?
[05:51] <eric__> visik7: Will it preserve my data?
[05:51] <Jamminpotato> jazzrocker, yea its ext2
[05:51] <ShoeUnited> k.. lol let's see.
[05:51] <visik7> eric__: should
[05:51] <eric__> visik7: I'm pretty sure it's ext3.  It's been a while since I set it up.
[05:51] <visik7> eric__: it had preserve mine
[05:51] <jazzrocker> Jamminpotato, no, try fmask and dmask
[05:51] <erUSUL> JamieBE: ??!! it is weird usually it is empty unless you have problems with the filesystem
[05:51] <nathanael> Anyone have a GOOD link to XGL on Ubuntu using Nvidia?
[05:51] <jazzrocker> Jamminpotato, also try adding the 'user' option to fstab
[05:52] <erUSUL> !info wine
[05:52] <ubotu> wine: Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (Binary Emulator and Library). In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.9-0ubuntu2 (dapper), package size 8578 kB, installed size 40460 kB
[05:52] <Jamminpotato> k
[05:52] <Dr_Willis> nathanael,  i think its best to leave it alone for now. :P
[05:52] <eric__> visik7: So I use gparted to make my partition smaller, then let the installers for OpenSUSE and Freespire use the remaining space, assuming their installers will play nice with ubuntu?
[05:52] <jazzrocker> Jamminpotato, user,fmask=644,dmask=755
[05:52] <ETronik> Whats the status on USB with Dapper ?? has it been fixed ??
[05:52] <ladydoor> Jamminpotato: also, in the file /etc/groups, add yourself to the group "users"
[05:52] <nathanael> Well ,gee thanks doc.
[05:52] <jazzrocker> Jamminpotato, noauto,user,fmask=644,dmask=755
[05:52] <Jamminpotato> what do fmask and dmask do?
[05:52] <gan|y|med> hi
[05:52] <GameOver69> ShoeUnited,
[05:52] <visik7> nathanael: is on the wiki
[05:52] <GameOver69> i think its somethin with the plugin
[05:52] <JamieBE> I did have a while back - But I followed the fix all thing it asked me to before loading X and fixed the filesystem
[05:52] <gan|y|med> my xv support for the fglrx driver broke when i upgraded to version 8.28. the config dialogue for dual head also disappeared. downgrading to 8.25 still produces the same problem. everytime i try to play a video with the xvideo plugin the x server crashes
[05:52] <linux__alien> could some one anwer my question please?
[05:52] <Dr_Willis> eric__,  thats a BIG assumption.   you better do some reading/learning on grub  befor hand.
[05:52] <GameOver69> when i type in about:plugins... there is nothing there on java
[05:52] <gan|y|med> any ideas?
[05:52] <nathanael> ok
[05:52] <ShoeUnited> GameOver69: javascript.options.strict .... false
[05:53] <ShoeUnited> Oh.
[05:53] <Dr_Willis> eric__,  id bet their installers will install grub autmaticially to the mbr of hda1, and not even bother to ask.
[05:53] <ShoeUnited> ok
[05:53] <Dr_Willis> eric__,  and thus wipe out the ubuntu grub
[05:53] <erUSUL> JamieBE: well if you do not need those files you can rm them without problems
[05:53] <ShoeUnited> GameOver69: I'll look for the page that sets up the java plugin
[05:53] <JamieBE> Sweet
[05:53] <eric__> Dr_WIllis: OK - then how do I ever get back to ubuntu?
[05:53] <GameOver69> ShoeUnited, yep its false
[05:53] <Dr_Willis> eric__,  thats where youlearn how to  fix grub and set it up properly
[05:54] <GameOver69> ShoeUnited, ok
[05:54] <jazzrocker> Jamminpotato, read man umask
[05:54] <eric__> Dr_Willis: Where do I go to learn that?
[05:54] <jazzrocker> Jamminpotato, it's the same thing but global
[05:54] <Jamminpotato> ok
[05:54] <jazzrocker> Jamminpotato, fmask = file dmask = directory
[05:54] <Dr_Willis> eric__,  grub is very well documented on the web and its own home page has detailed docs..
[05:54] <eric__> Dr_Willis: So I go ahead and install those other distros and go back and fix grub?
[05:54] <ShoeUnited> GameOver69:  https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+ticket/616
[05:54] <Dr_Willis> eric__,  #1 thing to rember about grub - is that it starts counting the Drives at 0. not 1 :P
[05:55] <Jamminpotato> jazzrocker, i just opened etc/groups and its blank ....?
[05:55] <Dr_Willis> eric__,  id read up on grub first. :P but you can do what you want. Freespire is not worth messing with. I can tell you that much.
[05:55] <gan|y|med> is there any reason why the x server should crash when videos are played?
[05:55] <jazzrocker> Jamminpotato, what are you doing with /etc/groups ?
[05:55] <Jamminpotato> you said to add my uid to the group user?
[05:55] <eric__> Dr_WIllis: I remember reading on grub a while back and the instructions are ... long.  Is there a FAQ or something that would walk me through this? I have to imagine this is a fairly common problem.
[05:55] <jazzrocker> Jamminpotato, when
[05:55] <Jamminpotato> ladydoor, did
[05:55] <jazzrocker> Jamminpotato, when did i say that? where?
[05:55] <Jamminpotato> not you
[05:55] <jazzrocker> ok
[05:56] <jazzrocker> Jamminpotato, just user mount it with fmask and dmask
[05:56] <jazzrocker> Jamminpotato, that's what you want
[05:56] <jazzrocker> Jamminpotato, then it's yours
[05:56] <Dr_Willis> eric__,  what you are doing is a rather complex thing.. and  there are all sorts of pitfalls.. and grub is worth learning and learning well.   it all depends on how you set up the drives as well. Simpliest would be to have a spare hard drive for each disrto.
[05:56] <GameOver69> ShoeUnited, ive been there and did that
[05:56] <ladydoor> jazzrocker: when i added "users" to a line in /etc/fstab, it didn't do anything until i added myself to the group "users"...so i thought it was necessary. sorry
[05:56] <JamieBE> That's cleared some space, thank you. It would also appear that my apt folder is quite large
[05:56] <jazzrocker> ladydoor, that's because it's "user" not "users"
[05:57] <ladydoor> jazzrocker: that was a type
[05:57] <iliketoprogram> hiya!  I'm trying to use gparted to change my partition tables a bit.  it's so far so good, but i have a problem.  i have an extended partition at the end of my disk.  the first 700M is my swap, the last 7GB is mounted as /.  there is an 8GB chunk between these two partitions, but i can not resize my ext3 (/) drive!  it lets me resize swap, and format the 'middle space' but won't let me make my ext3 larger by extending
[05:57] <iliketoprogram>  the leading (left hand side) edge of the partition!  (yes, i'm doing this from live cd and the discs are unmounted/inactive).   any suggestions on how to fix this?  i considered copying the / partition to the beginning of this free space, then going back and deleting the original and resizing the new one to cover allof the free space but i suspect that my computer won't boot anymore if i do that lol
[05:57] <jazzrocker> k
[05:57] <ladydoor> jazzrocker: typo
[05:57] <ShoeUnited> GameOver69: Have you restarted the firefox browser?
[05:57] <Jamminpotato> jazzrocker, /dev/sda6	/mnt/common2	ext2	user,noauto,fmask=644, dmask=755	0	0 is that about what the line should look like in fstab?
[05:57] <jazzrocker> users are people on drugs, user is an account on a *nix system :P
[05:57] <jazzrocker> Jamminpotato, pretty much yeah
[05:57] <GameOver69> ShoeUnited, of course
[05:57] <eric__> Dr_Willis: So what do folk do who want to dual boot with Windows? Or those macs who want OS X, ubuntu and Windoze?  (Though mac is a special case).  I imagine people must want to do this a lot.
[05:57] <GameOver69> after it crashes i have no choice
[05:57] <ladydoor> jazzrocker: lol. yeah, user is what's in my fstab
[05:57] <Jamminpotato> cause its telling me that line is bad when i try to mount
[05:58] <saara> how do i set locale on my computer
[05:58] <jazzrocker> Jamminpotato, then just mount /dev/sda6 should work
[05:58] <iliketoprogram> any idea why it's not giving me the option to resize the ext3?
[05:58] <erUSUL> saara: System>Admin>Language support
[05:58] <jazzrocker> Jamminpotato, mount reads from fstab iirc
[05:58] <wickers> After a fresh install of 6.06.1... OOo has broken spell checking :(
[05:58] <ShoeUnited> GameOver69: Tried this?  http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_J2SE_Runtime_Environment_.28JRE.29_with_Plug-in_for_Mozilla_Firefox
[05:58] <wickers> Anyone else have that problem? OOo with broken spell checking?
[05:59] <GameOver69> ShoeUnited, yep
[05:59] <Jamminpotato> jazzrocker, when i do sudo mount /dev/sda6 it says it cant find  it in fstab and that line 8 of fstab is bad
[05:59] <jazzrocker> Jamminpotato, then it's bad and you did something wrong
[05:59] <jazzrocker> Jamminpotato, man fstab
[06:00] <Jamminpotato> am i supposed to ad my self to user? in /etc/group
[06:01] <saara> how do i set locale of my computer?
[06:01] <jazzrocker> Jamminpotato, try it if you like: adduser jamminpotato somegroup
[06:01] <erUSUL> Jamminpotato: usa System>Admin>users...
[06:01] <GameOver69> ShoeUnited, coudl it have to do with my firefox not being installed from the repos
[06:01] <h4ch3r> adobe flash 9.0 for linux?
[06:01] <vorbote> saara: edit /etc/environment
[06:01] <theneb> h4ce3r, good joke ;)
[06:01] <saara> thanks, vorbote!
[06:01] <theneb> h4ce3r, the best workaround is installing firefox under wine
[06:02] <h4ch3r> humm
[06:02] <h4ch3r> huh
[06:02] <theneb> Otherwise flash 9 isn't possible, it works quite well
[06:02] <h4ch3r> flash 9 for linux man?
[06:02] <ben> Hi there!
[06:02] <Jamminpotato> hey ben
[06:02] <ben> Anyone availible to help me out with something!
[06:02] <ben> That answers my Question :D
[06:02] <Jamminpotato> ask your question im sure someone can
[06:02] <wickers> nevermind, there's no spell checking for canadian english.
[06:03] <rsk> h4ch3r, there is no flash 9 for linux
[06:03] <GameOver69> ShoeUnited, it just doesnt want to work for my firefox
[06:03] <ben> Ok, I'm trying to install a program called gyach, but for some reason, it keeps spitting errors.
[06:03] <eric__> If anybody cares, there's a CD with Linux rescue tools here: http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page
[06:03] <h4ch3r> rsa, dawn
[06:03] <h4ch3r> rsa, sorry
[06:03] <h4ch3r> rsk, dawn
[06:03] <h4ch3r> :(
[06:03] <h4ch3r> why?
[06:04] <rsk> adbode dosent care abaut linux
[06:04] <ladydoor> ben: what errors?
[06:04] <Dr_Willis> eric__,  the default installs and grub setup work fine with just linux and windows.. the prolem you are going to have is that EACH disrto will want to do things its own way.
[06:04] <ben> one second, I will paste them
[06:04] <eric__> Dr_Willis: Right.
[06:04] <ladydoor> !tell ben about anyone
[06:04] <ladydoor> !anyone
[06:04] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[06:05] <eric__> Dr_WIllis: What I'm after is that when you boot up, you enter a number to choose which OS you want, else it defaults to the default OS (ubuntu, in this case).
[06:05] <ladydoor> ben: (it's not a bad thing, just for future reference)
[06:05] <ben> I ask that to see if a channel is active, Meaning, saving myself typing out my problem, if no one is here to see it. 8) I KNOW you guys can help, but are you here XD
[06:05] <ladydoor> ben: lol. good point
[06:05] <ben> 8_
[06:05] <ben> 8)
[06:06] <Dr_Willis> eric__,  ubuntu annoys me because it tries to hide a lot of the details in grub. :P     You will end up with a grub menu that shows ALL the os's on your machine.. you just select the one to boot to. Its not hard to do.. just lots of things to learn about to get it going.
[06:06] <Jamminpotato> there is always someone helpful in #ubuntu
[06:06] <ladydoor> Jamminpotato: here, here!
[06:06] <eric__> Dr_Willis: Maybe this? http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Multiboot-with-GRUB.html
[06:06] <Dr_Willis> eric__,  OR like on this pc i have.. i can make each disrto on its own HD. and put its own mbr on that hd.. then i can pick what HD to boot from the bios menus
[06:06] <Jamminpotato> if it wasnt for this irc chanel i would have become very frustrated and gone back to winXP already
[06:06] <earth|afk> is there any program like daemon tools for ubuntu that would mount me any kind of cd/dvd images ?
[06:07] <Dr_Willis> eric__,  when it comes to grub.. you cant read tooo much. :P its an amazing tool.
[06:07] <earth|afk> *not only iso
[06:07] <theneb> gisomount earth
[06:07] <Sakireth> I wish Ubuntu wasn't so slow on my pc.. ubuntu is ideal, but on this PC, it is really slow.
[06:07] <Dr_Willis> eric__,  plus you will also have to learn how each disrto handles grub and get its boot/grub menu infro from each disrto.. and freespire is WEIRD in that area.
[06:07] <earth|afk> Sakireth what are your pc specs?
[06:07] <Jamminpotato> Sakireth, are you using gnome?
[06:07] <eric__> Dr_Willis: I'd like to find "Grub for nonmajors", if there is such a thing.
[06:07] <Sakireth> The liveCD and all stuff like that, and even when it is installed, still are slow.
[06:07] <Jamminpotato> you could try switching to fluxbox or xfce
[06:07] <ladydoor> Sakireth: have you considered using xubuntu?
[06:08] <earth|afk> and btw where could i find the livecd ? :)
[06:08] <Dr_Willis> eric__,   learn grub.. dont expect it to be a  trivial type some random command and it works kind of thing.. learn the ins and outs of it.
[06:08] <erUSUL> earth|afk: is the desktop cd
[06:08] <ladydoor> earth|afk: if you go to the ubuntu website, they'll have links
[06:08] <Jamminpotato> earth|afk, the live cd ion the install
[06:08] <mrDaniel> I am not sure if this is a bug: under windows I can adjust the sound-volumen with Fn+left (turn down) and Fn+right (louder). Under ubuntu this shourtcuts work too (what's great), but the are 'linked' with the wrong volume-control (Headphones). do anyone know who set this 'link' to another volume-control (PCM) ???
[06:08] <ben> Where should I paste the error message? here in main chat?
[06:08] <Sakireth> I'm in Gentoo now for it's speed. @earth|afk: Processor - AMD Athlon XP 2600+; Video card: ATI Radeon 9600 XT; Jamminpotato: I'm on gentoo right now. Openbox. ladydoor: No, but it seems nice.
[06:08] <Jimmey> I get this error when trying to connect to an NFS server: "mount server:sharepoint failed, reason given by server: Permission denied"
[06:08] <earth|afk> hm
[06:08] <ShoeUnited> I got a 2ghz 512 ram 128 mb video card  Gnome too heavy for it?
[06:09] <eyequeue> Sakireth, the livecd is by definituib slow, try it installed for a more realistic picture
[06:09] <bignose_> so , mp3's won't play out my laptop speakers, but sounds from skype will.
[06:09] <Sakireth> eyequeue: Even installed, it is slow on this PC.
[06:09] <kenny> ShoeUnited, no should zork
[06:09] <jbroome> !w32codec
[06:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about w32codec - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:09] <Sakireth> eyequeue: It gives me a bloated feeling.
[06:09] <kenny> ShoeUnited, no should work

[06:09] <Jimmey> bignose_, what player are you using?
[06:09] <Jamminpotato> Sakireth, xubuntu is quite nice, and lightwieght, its what i use and i have a similar layout as you
[06:09] <ben> I run Ubuntu Breezy Badger on my pIII 550mhz box with 120MBs ram.
[06:09] <ShoeUnited> kenny: ty

[06:09] <kenny> ShoeUnited, np
[06:09] <Jimmey> !mp3
[06:09] <Sakireth> Jamminpotato: Yeah. gentoo is really advanced which is not nice at all for real-life applications.
[06:09] <bignose_> Jimmey: i know mp3 works, because it plays thru my usb headset just fine.
[06:10] <Jimmey> bignose_, oh.
[06:10] <bignose_> it's just i don't appear to get any sound thru lapto speakers.
[06:10] <ladydoor> Jimmey: do you know how to make uboto "tell" somebody about something?
[06:10] <Sakireth> Jamminpotato: But how has xubuntu progressed now? has it gotten better?
[06:10] <Jimmey> ladydoor, !tell person about thing
[06:10] <Jimmey> !tell ladydoor about ubotu
[06:10] <ben> Ok, it's up there
[06:10] <ben> Thanks.
[06:10] <jbroome> ladydoor: !thing > person
[06:10] <ladydoor> Jimmey & jbroome:  sweet
[06:10] <wweasel> Sakireth: I don't use XUbuntu, but my best friend does, and he swears by it
[06:10] <Jamminpotato> Sakireth, its nice, i started with ubuntu and then siwtched recently to XFCE, so basically i have xubuntu, its very customizabble...(sp)
[06:11] <finalbeta> Ehm, in kdevellop, I created a new C++ file, how do I build/run it from the GUI? the Build menu only has Stop.
[06:11] <pianoboy3333> Does anyone here own a creative zen vision:m?
[06:11] <Jimmey> finalbeta, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[06:11] <ShoeUnited> *customizable ^_^
[06:11] <MrFlint> so how can i get past that ubuntu install freeze?
[06:11] <wweasel> pianoboy3333: I don't, but you're wondering about libmtp right?
[06:11] <ladydoor> finalbeta: you may need to make it exectutable
[06:11] <Jimmey> MrFlint, where does it freeze?
[06:11] <ladydoor> finalbeta: so you would, in a term, chmod +x programname
[06:12] <pianoboy3333> wweasel: no...... why? does it not work? I have it installed, I was thinking of buying one, and I have gnomad2 installed with libmtp support
[06:12] <MrFlint> right after the load procces, (after the bar fills up)
[06:12] <wweasel> pianoboy3333: I don't own one, I own an iRiver H10, but yes, it works with the zen vision
[06:12] <MrFlint> i just get a blank screen with a single underscore that flashes for a bit and then freezes
[06:13] <gre1> how do i install direct x for wine?
[06:13] <Sakireth> But i'd use Ubuntu if it wasn't so slow..
[06:13] <MrFlint> i checked the cd with the checker tool option in boot, and it said the cd is fine
[06:13] <Sakireth> The thing is, i install it - it is fast. After a few months, it becomes sluggish. I don't like that.
[06:13] <pianoboy3333> wweasel: ok, kool...... no, I was arguing with myself over the cowon x5l, or the vision:m, but I like the look and feel of the vision:m, so that won me over the ums and the flac and ogg playback on the x5l
[06:13] <finalbeta> Jimmey, already newest version, ladydoor , I'm asking how to compile it from the kdevellop GUI. works from commandline.
[06:13] <pianoboy3333> wweasel: circuitcity.com has an amazing offer on the vision:m
[06:14] <wweasel> pianoboy3333: Nice, go for it.
[06:14] <pianoboy3333> wweasel: $30 off, and free shipping, so I decided to go with that
[06:14] <ladydoor> Sakireth: hmmm...could it just be full harddrive syndrome?
[06:14] <wweasel> pianoboy3333: I wish libmtp would work with my iRiver...but, it can be booted up into UMS mode holding a key combo, so it doesn't really matter to me.
[06:14] <pianoboy3333> wweasel: I just want to see if I can find someone, becuase the sync adapter has a 5 volt dc in port, but I was wondering if I could just buy a 5 volt ac adapter from radio shack and use that
[06:15] <psr> I have a prism Javelin / Xbow (isl3886) based pci wifi card that I'm trying to get working.  The islsm_pci module seems to have loaded itself on boot, but not left any information in dmesg.  iwconfig reports a device "eth2" (odd, since I have no eth1), but sudo "iwlist eth2 scan" gives no results.  I believe there should be networks that I can see.  Any ideas for testing if the driver is loaded properly?
[06:15] <Sakireth> ladydoor: I don't know.
[06:15] <pianoboy3333> wweasel: can you put rockbox on your irivier?
[06:15] <pianoboy3333> bleh
[06:15] <pianoboy3333> *iriver
[06:15] <Sakireth> ladydoor: Maybe i install too many apps?
[06:15] <ladydoor> Sakireth:  i honestly don't know. do you install a ton of them?
[06:15] <Sakireth> ladydoor: Or i put too many files on it? in any case, it's never been completely full.
[06:15] <ladydoor> Sakireth: oh
[06:15] <Sakireth> ladydoor: Actually, yes. but it wouldn't be full, still.
[06:15] <MrFlint> anyone? i would really love to try Ubuntu long before the coming of the Beast ;)
[06:15] <wweasel> pianoboy3333: nope. It works on the highest end ones with the processing power to support it.
[06:16] <Sakireth> ladydoor: Also, i've noticed Dapper is more slow than Breezy
[06:16] <wweasel> pianoboy3333: Mine is lower end, doesn't support ogg, but it was cheaper and it supports VBR mp3, and that's good enough for me.
[06:16] <pianoboy3333> wweasel: that sucks, rockbox is awsome, my friend put it on his ipod mini, and he can just drag files on to it like a fat16 drive with rockbox
[06:17] <ben> Hey, is there a way to mount ntfs volumes so linux can read them? I don't think so.. but i can't remember. it's been a while since I've used a linux distro for a main box
[06:17] <wweasel> pianoboy3333: Rockbox is working on porting to the H10 (my iriver)
[06:17] <ladydoor> Sakireth: oh. huh
[06:17] <Paddy_EIRE> !ntfs
[06:17] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[06:17] <pianoboy3333> wweasel: kool
[06:17] <psr> !ntfs
[06:17] <pianoboy3333> wweasel: the best thing in the world, would be if rockbox could go onto the vision:m
[06:17] <Sakireth> ladydoor: Anyways.. it becomes really slow
[06:17] <psr> !fuse
[06:17] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[06:18] <wweasel> pianoboy3333: But UMS mode wokrs really well, I set it up with Amarok and I just right click and send to mp3 device and it runs the commands to sync the database.
[06:18] <Sakireth> Does anybody know why this is, people?
[06:18] <wweasel> pianoboy3333: the only annoying thing is that I have to hold a keycombo before plugging it in
[06:18] <ben> Thanks
[06:18] <pianoboy3333> wweasel: meh, I wonder if there's a libmtp plugin for quod libet....
[06:19] <wweasel> pianoboy3333: Probably. quod libet is pretty full featured
[06:19] <pianoboy3333> I love it
[06:19] <wweasel> pianoboy3333: Anyways, I have to be off. Good luck with your vision:m
[06:19] <MrFlint> so i guess there is no solution for my freeze problem?
[06:19] <pianoboy3333> wweasel: kk, thanks
[06:20] <Sakireth> Anyways, i'm going to install Ubuntu.
[06:20] <ladydoor> AskHL: weird...do the command df
[06:20] <Sakireth> Argh. i'm SUCH a distro switcher!
[06:20] <ladydoor> AskHL: sorry
[06:20] <ladydoor> AskHL: that was for sakireth
[06:20] <ladydoor> Sakireth: try the command df
[06:21] <Sakireth> ladydoor: Yeah, after i'm inside of Ubuntu xP
[06:21] <ladydoor> Sakireth: i don't know what that is
[06:21] <lhds> the wvm format is included in w32codecs? because i hear the sound but i dont see the image
[06:22] <UpMarc> hi... does someone here know about aMule's config?
[06:22] <poglaz> Hello! I wanna be a translator. Where can I join?
[06:22] <ben> Ok, so now I have access to one, of my 4 aux drives...
[06:23] <UpMarc> MPlayer is not working properly in aMule and if I change the player nothing runs....
[06:23] <MrRio> hmm
[06:24] <krizzer> how do i make windows the defualt os insted of ubuntu
[06:24] <roc_> Has anyone installed LiVES video editor to their ubuntu succesfully?
[06:25] <ShoeUnited> I know you have to modify grub, but I'm not a tech savvy dude here.

[06:59] <EnoXS> I'm looking for the etchy eft release, can someone tell me where i can find the download mirror. I'm googling but can't find it.
[06:59] <tapas> Arafangion: /etc/udev/permission.rules maybe?
[06:59] <tapas> [at least on debian] 
[06:59] <Arafangion> tapas: How do I do that?
 so when i upgrade it it will be just like dapper ?
[06:59] <hedonistic> I turned my computer on this morning and my monitor is pretty well black - I can every so faintly make out my desktop and navigate my way to menus and what not - Its a gateway LCD thats about 4 or 5 years old - does that mean its shot?  is there any way I can bring it back to life?  btw, this probably isn't the most appropriate channel for this type of questions, so feel free to point me to another channel

[06:59] <erUSUL> EnoXS: #ubuntu+1
[06:59] <st4n`> my autoupdate is not working for a view days. after clicking "update" (all updates checked) nothing happens
[06:59] <ladydoor> EnoXS: edgy eft is still under heavy development; you *don't* want to use it as your primary os
[06:59] <tapas> Arafangion: have a look at that file
[06:59] <Arafangion> tapas: Ubuntu's udev directory is practically empty.
[06:59] <eyequeue> darkowl, if you follow the url, and dist-upgrade
[06:59] <R0bin> I still don't get how to exec .run files
[06:59] <Jamminpotato> !edgy > Jamminpotato
[06:59] <Jack_Sparrow> Arafangion: have you tried gksudo nautilus and right click then properties... THis is not my area.. just asking
[06:59] <eyequeue> ladydoor, well-phrased
[06:59] <tapas> Arafangion: maybe it's udev.d
[07:00] <Arafangion> Jack_Sparrow: Normally, I'd just use chmod, but udev is dynamic.
[07:00] <soundray> The latest kernel freezes on me at boot saying "MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC". Do you know a fix for that?
[07:00] <Arafangion> tapas: It contains a rules.d
[07:00] <H7162616c6c> soundray: disable apic?
[07:00] <DaveyJ> where do i find upstart? its not in the repos
[07:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Arafangion: good luck.. I am not your guy for that
[07:00] <tapas> Arafangion: ah maybe the permissions aern't singled out into an extra file.. just browse around
[07:00] <Arafangion> tapas: I haven't found any files that even mention a user or group. :(
[07:01] <DBO> len, join #ubuntu-xgl please, we will finish up there...
[07:01] <ladydoor> eyequeue: *blush* thanks
[07:01] <ladydoor> eyequeue: lol
 ok,tnx
[07:01] <auTONYmous> Anybody know of a way to add different backgrounds to gnome workspaces (meaning, different wallpaper on all workspaces?)
[07:01] <EnoXS> thx guys, i know it's testing, but i will give it a shot.
[07:01] <soundray> H7162616c6c: when I try noapic, it crashes with a kernel panic
[07:01] <H7162616c6c> aah, dunno then
[07:01] <tapas> Arafangion:  grep MODE /etc/udev/* -R
[07:01] <R0bin> How can I exec files with Sudo
[07:01] <tapas> does that show anything?
[07:01] <monteiro> anyone has a Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) working with a great sound ?
[07:01] <Arafangion> tapas: I think I've found something - thanks.
[07:01] <ladydoor> R0bin: open a terminal and enter "sudo command"
[07:02] <Jack_Sparrow> R0bin: are they gui apps?
[07:02] <R0bin> It's a game
[07:02] <eyequeue> !sudo > R0bin
[07:02] <Arafangion> tapas: Trouble is, I haven't a clue what line I use for "/dev/net/tun"
[07:02] <ladydoor> R0bin: why do you need to run a game as root?
 one question more... if i follow this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization/6%2e06 will Customizing the bootsplash from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization work ?
[07:02] <eyequeue> a GAME?  /me collapses
[07:02] <R0bin> It's an isntallation I think
[07:03] <Jack_Sparrow> R0bin: what game and where did you get it?
[07:03] <tapas> Arafangion:  grep tun /etc/udev/* -R
[07:03] <Storkme> how can i run a daemon as my user when i log in?
[07:03] <eyequeue> R0bin, root is dangerous, please read the link the bot gave you
[07:03] <tapas> Arafangion: maybe it belongs to a bigger group of device files. i'm a udev noob, too
[07:03] <R0bin> Enemy Territory by id software
[07:03] <Arafangion> tapas: All I know is that there's this thing called "udev" ;)
[07:03] <Agrajag> R0bin: you don't need to run that as root
[07:03] <darkowl> RObin it doesnt have to be run as root
[07:03] <Arafangion> tapas: I'm used to the traditional dev.
[07:04] <eyequeue> Storkme, man update-rc.d, /etc/init.d/ files have a runas option, i believe
[07:04] <R0bin> How can I install it then
[07:04] <R0bin> I got the .run file!
[07:04] <Agrajag> R0bin: install it to your home directory
[07:04] <tapas> Arafangion: yah, me too
[07:04] <R0bin> How
[07:04] <Storkme> thanks eyequeue
[07:04] <tapas> Arafangion: the one time i needed to change a permission in a kubuntu system it was easily done
[07:04] <Jamminpotato> is it easier to run wine on a virtual desktop or interated with linux?
[07:04] <tapas> Arafangion: ill boot up qemu
[07:04] <erUSUL> R0bin: to install et you have to download the linux version (*.run files)
[07:04] <Agrajag> R0bin: just run the installer, and it should see that you are not root and offer to install it in ~
[07:05] <R0bin> How do I run the installer
[07:05] <plastic> Take an eye on this dvdrip error. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21814  any ideas?

[07:06] <tapas> btw
[07:06] <Agrajag> R0bin: did you chmod it? what does ls -l *.run say about its permissions?
[07:06] <ETronik> anyone here syncing Dapper with the Palm ??
[07:06] <eyequeue> darkowl, reading that over, i would guess so, but have never done so myself
[07:06] <tapas> darkowl: you make your own live cd?
 didnt started it yet...
 why ?
[07:06] <Wiseguy> hey guys, is there some trick to getting flash for firefox installed in ubuntu? i havent been able to get it to work on any of my ubuntu boxes
[07:06] <R0bin> What line do I type to make ET.run acceptable
[07:07] <Agrajag> R0bin: chmod +x whatever.run && ./whatever.run
[07:07] <ladydoor> R0bin: chmod +x ET.run
[07:07] <R0bin> ok
[07:07] <tapas> darkowl: i wonder whether a program which i added  to /usr/bin/ will be added to the installed system [when the user decisdes to install it] 
[07:07] <Agrajag> R0bin: obviously you'll need to change the "whatever" part
[07:07] <R0bin> lol
[07:07] <R0bin> :)
[07:07] <ladydoor> Agrajag: hey, there might be a game out there called "whatever"
 read the last thing https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization/6.06
[07:08] <Agrajag> doesn't sound like it'd be much fun
[07:08] <R0bin> Seems to work guys
[07:08] <ShoeUnited> :/
[07:08] <ShoeUnited> I got the same problem again.
[07:08] <empty> hi
[07:08] <R0bin> Anyway how do I type to a specific person here?
[07:08] <tapas> darkowl: ah ok. good to know for packages
[07:08] <ladydoor> R0bin: say their nick before you type
[07:08] <empty> wondering if anyone can help me with one small problem
[07:08] <Jack_Sparrow> ShoeUnited: install didnt work
[07:08] <tapas> darkowl: i wonder  about a self installed program though
[07:08] <Jack_Sparrow> !ask
[07:08] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:08] <R0bin> ladydoor ok
[07:09] <ShoeUnited> Jack_Sparrow: No, it still says that X system won't load
[07:09] <R0bin> ladydoor: lol
[07:09] <jstarcher> Hey guys\
 the same thing...
[07:09] <erUSUL> !anyone > empty
[07:09] <Agrajag> R0bin: You can also use tab-completion, type the first few letters of a person's name, then hit tab.
[07:09] <tapas> darkowl: actually it's my own program i wrote for a client
 it should work
[07:09] <R0bin> nice!!
[07:09] <ShoeUnited> Jack_Sparrow: And if I ignore it, then it just keeps loading stuff until I get root.
[07:09] <jstarcher> I can't seem to mount my hdd that I attached today
[07:09] <plastic> Take an eye on this dvdrip error. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21814  any ideas?
[07:09] <Soulfly> I want a terminal completely tranparent on the background image (no borders/menu/etc). the text should be visible on both dark and light areas. Any tips?
[07:09] <Gun_Smoke> I'm having a problem getting wine to run.. I'm trying to run winecfg .  It seems to be hung up (over 15 min) at wine: creating configuration directory '/home/name/.wine'...   I've asked about the issue over at #winehq and no one seems to know.
[07:09] <tapas> darkowl: will the root fs of the live cd be basically copied to cd?
[07:09] <ladydoor> R0bin: alternatively, you can go to the freenode website and follow the directions for registering your nick...then you will be able to type /msg username "your message" (without the quotes) to start a private conversation in a new window
[07:09] <jstarcher> It just says unknow fs
[07:09] <jake1> can i get some help
[07:09] <jake1> ?
[07:09] <Jack_Sparrow> ShoeUnited: Could you refresh me on the original question or problem.
[07:10] <tapas> darkowl: or will they all get installed from packages
[07:10] <m4rk> jakel just ask your question dude
[07:10] <empty> I've installed Ubuntu 6.06LTS on my AMD64 Turion (MT-32) laptop, and it wont boot.. it hangs up on "Booting kernel.."Ive found a fix by doing "noapic acpi=off" is this a known issue with certain 64s? Anyhting I can do about it?
[07:10] <jake1> i've been trying for about 4 days to get my wireless card working and i am having some problems
[07:10] <R0bin> ladydoor: Private convo is closed?
[07:10] <rdemanow> On PowerPC Ubuntu, what option do I give yaboot to start Ubuntu without trying to mount the built-in hard drive?
[07:10] <jake1> so i need some assistance
[07:10] <m4rk> jakel how far have you got?
[07:10] <bbrazil> empty: some laptops have that problem
 dont know...im making livecd, dont know about install cd
[07:10] <ShoeUnited> Jack_Sparrow: NP, want me to take it to pm?
[07:10] <Jack_Sparrow> sure
[07:10] <jstarcher> Is there anyway I can just mount a hdd and not know the filesystem type?
[07:10] <Storkme> how can i run a daemon (lineakd &) as my user when i log in?
[07:10] <tapas> darkowl: well, the live cd is a install cd :
[07:10] <tapas> :)
[07:10] <empty> bbrazil: anything i can do to fix it? I really prefer to have my power management =)
[07:10] <Jack_Sparrow> jstarcher: no
[07:10] <tabman>  I have Ubuntu installed, I'm working with java macros and I need the sandbox.jar file which according to documentation is inside openoffice/program/classes directory, but its not there, is it something to do with the default installation of openoffice by ubuntu ?
[07:11] <m4rk> jakel I take it you've read the wireless howto?
[07:11] <erUSUL> empty: the only thin you can do is to upgrade to a newer/different kernel.
[07:11] <jake1> m4rk basically i did a clean install (ubuntu tries to use the broadcom bwm42xx (or something like that)
[07:11] <bbrazil> empty: get a laptop with proper acpi :) You could see if APM is still in there
[07:11] <jake1> as the driver
[07:11] <erUSUL> thing*
[07:11] <ladydoor> R0bin: i think that users can set it up so that anybody can message them
[07:11] <ladydoor> R0bin: but apparently there was a problem with spammers
[07:11] <jake1> now it is a broadcom but that driver did not work
[07:11] <ryanpg> what's an easy way to lower my cpu speed?
[07:11] <R0bin> no right to write /usr/local/games
[07:11] <ryanpg> using /proc/acpi?
[07:11] <m4rk> oh  a driver issue. i'm not sure i can help you jakel but someone else here might be able to
[07:11] <erUSUL> R0bin: did you run it with sudo?
[07:12] <R0bin> erUSUL: No chmod +x
[07:12] <empty> bbrazil: its an ASUS laptop, thought it was decent :P .. APM is still there when i do lsmod
[07:12] <jake1> so i tried using the ndiswrapper to get my Windows driver working
[07:12] <jake1> that did not work
[07:12] <erUSUL> R0bin: i mean $ sudo ./whatever.run
[07:12] <empty> erUSUL: how can I do that? do i need to recompile?
[07:12] <ladydoor> jake1: what was the problem?
[07:12] <bbrazil> empty: well, there is some power management then, you'll have to opke around to get ot working though I'd say
[07:12] <R0bin> I like ubuntu, it's very safe everything is protected but it can be a bitch with second day users like me
[07:12] <eyequeue> R0bin, sudo
[07:12] <jstarcher> Jack_Sparrow: k thanks. Well I know the drive has to be readable in linux because I took it out of my server which is running slackware. But when I try to mount it I can't get it to mount with reiserfs or ext2/3. I opened the GNOME disk manager thing and it says it is hdd1 but when I specify a mount point and click enable it doesn't do anything. It also thinks it is unformatted for some reason which I know it has lots of data
[07:12] <R0bin> erUSUL: ok
[07:13] <ladydoor> R0bin: yeah...you'll get used to it
[07:13] <jake1> ladydoor: well it installed, so i blacklisted my other driver
[07:13] <eyequeue> !language > R0bin
[07:13] <R0bin> ladydoor: lol
[07:13] <Arafangion> How do I change a permission for a device in Ubuntu, and have the damn permission stay between reboots?
[07:13] <dusty_> Hey guys, i have install ubuntu, is there a way to completly remove X from my system i just want console?
[07:13] <jake1> and seemingly now eth1 (my wireless interface) is not showing up
[07:13] <R0bin> eyequeue: sorry
[07:13] <erUSUL> empty: yes, if you want to try with a different kernel you need to compile it
[07:13] <tapas> Arafangion: bootup is already at kde screen ;)
[07:13] <dusty_> well whats the easiest way?
[07:13] <erUSUL> !kernel > empty
[07:13] <Arafangion> KERNEL=="tun" GROUP="arafangion", MODE="0660" has no effect.
[07:13] <jake1> in iwconfig nor does it show in the networking utility
[07:13] <Arafangion> tapas: How is it going?
[07:13] <eyequeue> dusty_, sudo dpkg --purge gdm, to start
[07:14] <dusty_> ok
[07:14] <Jack_Sparrow> jstarcher: I am on another problem, When I am done there I will check back with you
[07:14] <tapas> Arafangion: as soon as the qemu is booted up i can check how i changed the perms for ppdev there
[07:14] <empty> erUSUL: thanks, the newer kernels resolve this issue?
[07:14] <dusty_> eyequeue, done, anything else?
[07:14] <rdemanow> I need to start Ubuntu Live CD on my iBook without trying to mount the built in hard drive, so I can mount it read-only later.  What do I tell yaboot to make it not mount the hard drive?
[07:14] <Arafangion> tapas: Thanks :)
[07:14] <jstarcher> Jack_Sparrow, ok thanks much.....Anyone else not busy atm?
[07:14] <Storkme> how can i run a daemon (lineakd &) as my user when i log in?
[07:14] <eyequeue> dusty_, now you won't be plagued by it at reboot
[07:14] <ladydoor> jake1: ok, have you set it up yet?
[07:15] <dusty_> eyequeue, sweet, i apt-get remove xserver-xorg too, what other packages can i remove
[07:15] <jake1> i dnt know how to
[07:15] <erUSUL> empty: i can not konw for sure... you just will have to try to find out...
[07:15] <jake1> ladydoor
[07:15] <eyequeue> dusty_, you can also purge any gui apps that you know of, if you like
[07:15] <jake1> i installed the driver
[07:15] <dusty_> what about desktops?
[07:15] <ladydoor> jake1: ok, here's how!
[07:15] <Jamminpotato> darn it, azureus when i run it pops up a little notification in the bottom corner and it wont go away, hwo can i remove it
[07:15] <Jack_Sparrow> jstarcher: Thank you for patience and understanding
[07:15] <R0bin> What is the +x in chmod used for?
[07:15] <dusty_> i tried remove x-window-system but thats not installed?
[07:15] <ladydoor> jake1: does "ndiswrapper -l" show any output?
[07:15] <Agrajag> R0bin: that enables the execute bit
[07:15] <eyequeue> R0bin, "man chmod" explains
[07:15] <jake1> yep
[07:15] <jstarcher> Jack_Sparrow: np, i appreciate the help ;-)
[07:15] <ladydoor> jake1: what is't?
[07:15] <jake1> bcmwl5a         driver present, hardware present
[07:16] <empty> erUSUL: thanks alot, i will give it ago
[07:16] <ladydoor> jake1: sweet. now do sudo ndiswrapper -m
[07:16] <ladydoor> jake1: and sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[07:16] <Gun_Smoke> I'm having a problem getting wine to run.. I'm trying to run winecfg .  It seems to be hung up (over 15 min) at wine: creating configuration directory '/home/name/.wine'...   I've asked about the issue over at #winehq and no one seems to know.
[07:16] <jake1> now the one thing i am curious about is whether that is the 32-bit driver or the 64-bit driver
[07:16] <jake1> cuz if it's 32-bit it might be problematic
[07:16] <nikin> hy .. i have a problem, i have installed an ssh server behind a router... i can reach it happy over LAN but cant get to work it from outside.... i have forwarded port 22 on the router... btw i use Dapper server, and a D-Link DI-514 router
[07:17] <tabman> anyone ?
[07:17] <jake1> ladydoor: jake@jake:~$ ndiswrapper -m
[07:17] <jake1> modprobe config already contains alias directive
[07:17] <Agrajag> linux isn't getting all that more comples, it's the damn hardware it has to support
[07:17] <benw> I got dced XD
[07:17] <empty> erUSUL: one more thing, for a problem like this, do I need to configure much when it comes to recompiling? or just follow bare bones howto like the one you linked me?
[07:17] <Agrajag> especially wireless drives that need stupid hacks like ndiswrapper
[07:17] <lhds> how to get the search menu if i am not in gnome?
[07:17] <Agrajag> er s/drives/cards/
[07:17] <m4rk> has anyone gone photoshop with wine working in dapper?
[07:17] <m4rk> photoshop 6
[07:17] <benw> Ok, so anyone have any idea how I might get gyach to work?
[07:17] <jstarcher> tabman: whats up?
[07:17] <soundray> I have a machine here that only boots with acpi=off, but then it tends to overheat and shut down. Is it worth trying an edgy kernel?
[07:17] <nikin> m4rk: use gimp :D
[07:18] <lhds> search the net there is an emulator out there for photoshop office etc but its not free ;)
[07:18] <xevil> m4rk: I would think the Gimp would work well enough...
[07:18] <jstarcher> m4rk: no, I haven't tried 6 yet. I know that the Crossover Office supposedly will do 7 but I read the notes and there are still lots of problems with it
[07:18] <m4rk> :o OK
[07:18] <ladydoor> jake1: good, did you modprobe it too?
[07:18] <m4rk> I guess you have a point
[07:18] <rdemanow> I need to start Ubuntu Live CD on my iBook without trying to mount the built in hard drive, so I can mount it read-only later.  What do I tell yaboot to make it not mount the hard drive?
[07:18] <Agrajag> m4rk: it's called crossover
[07:18] <jake1> yea
[07:18] <jake1> no output
[07:19] <empty> soundray: apparently it is
[07:19] <jake1> no terminal output
[07:19] <ladydoor> jake1: cool. ok, now type sudo ifdown eth0
[07:19] <ladydoor> jake1: and then sudo ifup wlan0
[07:19] <jstarcher> m4rk: I just use vMware and run a virual machine. Then I get CS2 9.0 :-D
[07:19] <Arafangion> m4rk: Are you a professional, or a hobbist?
[07:19] <m4rk> but i tried to get gimpshop installed and it wants me to uninstall gimp first but synaptics says it can't uninstall gimp because other proggys depend on it
[07:19] <fserb> Hey. I'm trying to add edgy repositories and set the default distribution (via synaptic) to dapper, so I can pick the updates I want. The problem seems to be that synaptic tries to upgrade everything when I add the edgy repositories. Any help here?
[07:19] <ladydoor> jake1: and let me know what happens
[07:19] <jake1> eth1 is my interface for wifi
[07:19] <tabman> I'm working with java macros and I need the sandbox.jar file which according to documentation is inside openoffice/program/classes directory, but its not there, is it something to do with the default installation of openoffice by ubuntu ?
[07:19] <jake1> to i replace that with eth0 or wlan0
[07:19] <jake1> ?
[07:19] <RvGaTe> for some reason, after installing the nvidia drivers, i'm not able to display my screen correctly in the right resolution... everything shifts to the center, and the i press on "auto" on my tft screen, it doesn't change... altho then i return 1 resolution lower it works...
[07:19] <tabman> jstarcher: I just posted again
[07:19] <eyequeue> fserb, don't add the edgy deb repos, just the edgy debsrc
[07:19] <lhds> crossover worked fine last time i installed it under ubuntu
[07:20] <soundray> empty: is it sufficient to download the image and install it with dpkg, or does it depend on a slew of other edgy updates?
[07:20] <jstarcher> m4rk: yea, I installed gimpshop but all my time in photoshop just makes me not like gimp
[07:20] <erUSUL> empty: just use the ubuntu config that is in /boot/ or as said in the wiki under debian/config/i386/ in the sources
[07:20] <eyequeue> fserb, the (as user) apt-get -b source foo command will work
[07:20] <lhds> how to get the gnome search tool in blackbox?
[07:20] <jstarcher> tabman: I
[07:20] <fserb> eyequeue, got it. No way to do it with the debs?
[07:20] <empty> soundray: I have a similiar issue, apparently thats the only resolution. I wouldnt know, ask erUSUL
[07:20] <m4rk> professional...i guess.
[07:20] <empty> erUSUL: thanks
[07:20] <jstarcher> tabman: I'm not real sure tbh...what window manager are you on?
[07:21] <erUSUL> w30: man ld.so.conf
[07:21] <ladydoor> jake1: what that will do is to bring down your ethernet interface and bring up your wireless interface
[07:21] <eyequeue> fserb, by telling it that deb entry, since those have later version numbers, that's what caused the problem
[07:21] <sharperguy> why wont rhythembox let me add an xml feed?
[07:21] <ladydoor> jake1: in the future it *should* load on boot
[07:21] <w30> erUSUL, ahhh.. thanks
[07:21] <fserb> eyequeue, but shouldn't setting the default version fix this?
[07:21] <ladydoor> jake1: otherwise, you might have to remember those commands, or make an alias for them in your .bashrc
[07:21] <Jack_Sparrow> jstarcher: DId you get it fixed... the other problem is rebooting atm
[07:21] <eyequeue> fserb, if you want, you can search the wiki for "pinning" though
[07:21] <erUSUL> w30: no problem
[07:21] <soundray> oh, are you compiling 2.6.17 from source, empty?
[07:21] <sharperguy> I'm trying to listen to the ubuntu podcast, and when i put in the url into new podcast, and press ok, nout happens
[07:21] <erUSUL> empty: no problem and good luck ;)
[07:21] <jake1> right now i am using eth2 as my interface, as i am using the PCMCIA card
[07:21] <fserb> eyequeue, ok, I'll take a look at it
[07:22] <jstarcher> Jack_Sparrow, nope
[07:22] <jake1> so i want to shut down eth2
[07:22] <Jack_Sparrow> jstarcher: Did you look at that drive with gparted to see what it can tell you?
[07:22] <jake1> and bring up eth1?
[07:22] <Arafangion> tapas: FOUND IT.
[07:22] <jake1> right
[07:22] <jake1> wlan0 is a non-existant interface
[07:22] <nonickname> where can i get help with netbooting?
[07:22] <tapas> Arafangion: tell me :)
[07:22] <jstarcher> Jack_Sparrow: ahh, let me give that a shot
[07:22] <jstarcher> tabman: I'm not real sure tbh...what window manager are you on?
[07:22] <tapas> Arbiter: bootup isn't done _yet_
[07:22] <asabil> hi all
[07:22] <tapas> ;)
[07:22] <Howitzer> Does anybody know how to delete 6 specific lines(the exact same lines) in about 100 .desktop files?
[07:22] <glick> hello
[07:22] <asabil> how to get networking working in vmware-player ?
[07:22] <tapas> Arbiter: oops wrong nick
[07:22] <sanket> Hello, my X crashed in the morning and I am not able to revive it yet. I get this error when i restart gdm .... Could not open default cursor font 'cursor' f"
[07:22] <Arbiter> np :)
[07:23] <glick> hey what is the repository i have to add in order to download acrobat and nvidia drivers?
[07:23] <bbrazil> Howitzer: sed -i '/^theline$/d'
[07:23] <glick> multiverse?
[07:23] <sharperguy> !fixxbug
[07:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fixxbug - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:23] <Howitzer> ty
[07:23] <jake1> ladydoor: it can't find my wireless interface now
[07:23] <nox-Hand> Hey
[07:23] <Arafangion> tapas: It appears that it's all copied from /lib/udev
[07:23] <Jack_Sparrow> !nvidia
[07:23] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:23] <nox-Hand> Can someone help me get past this apt errror? Had it all day.. :/ http://paste.lisp.org/display/24809
[07:23] <ladydoor> jake1: for serious? what's the error it gives you?
[07:24] <glick> is sit the multiverse repos?
[07:24] <benw> Nevre mind, I solved my problem :)
[07:24] <jake1> jake@jake:~$ sudo ifup eth1
[07:24] <jake1> Ignoring unknown interface eth1=eth1.
[07:24] <jake1> i took down eth2
[07:24] <ladydoor> jake1: try sudo ifup wlan0
[07:24] <ladydoor> jake1: many times ndiswrapper uses that as the default
[07:24] <jake1> i tried that one to and that didn't return an interface
[07:25] <jake1> either
[07:25] <erUSUL> nox-Hand: do you have all repos enabled?
[07:25] <phichipsi> hi all, i have multiple ogg files which i need in mp3 format. whats the way of doing that? again lame?
[07:25] <sanket> phichipsi: oggasm
[07:26] <tapas> Arafangion: ah ok
[07:26] <sharperguy> sanket: omg
[07:26] <ladydoor> jake1: hmmmmm...so it says the driver's installed, the hardware present...you modprobe'd it...you added the alias...i don't know what to tell you. i'm sorry
[07:26] <sanket> sharperguy: that is a package
[07:26] <glick> is backports multiverse?
[07:26] <jake1> :-\
[07:26] <jake1> wierd
[07:26] <phichipsi> sanket, i couldnt find a backage named like that in synaptic
[07:26] <jake1> weird* even
[07:26] <jstarcher> Jack_Sparrow: argh. It says I have two partitions. The first one is black and has a red triangle saying "Unknown" The second is grayed out and says I have 50gb unpartitioned. I know it has stuff on it though, I used to acess it like everyday when I had it in my fileserver that has Slackware. The only reason I took it out is beacause I'm waiting on a new PSU for the server...
[07:26] <rdemanow> What do I type at the boot: prompt to get yaboot to start Ubuntu without trying to mount the built-in hard drive on my iBook?
[07:27] <phichipsi> sanket, would i need to compile it from source?
[07:27] <sanket> phichipsi: u wont get it there...search it on the internet
[07:27] <eyequeue> glick, no
[07:27] <sanket> phichipsi: maybe
[07:27] <glick> eyequeue, so how do i add multiverse
[07:27] <eyequeue> !repos > glick
[07:27] <Jack_Sparrow> jstarcher: If it does not recognize it then there is another issue as to the original hardware setup/driver
[07:28] <empty> Whats a way I can check what are in the respositorys of apt-get? I tried to apt-get install linux-source-2.6.17 .. and it says its not there
[07:28] <sanket> somebody help me .... X :(
[07:28] <Jack_Sparrow> jstarcher: IF it were "standard ext3" you would not have had a problem
[07:28] <Agrajag> empty: apt-cache search linux-source-2.6.17
[07:28] <m4rk> jstarcher: what can photoshop do that gimp can't, apart from the plugins?
[07:28] <jstarcher> Jack_Sparrow: okay, thanks for the help. I'll just not worry about it and when I get the new PSU I'll have a look at fstab so I know in the future
[07:28] <sharperguy> glick: backports is the new version of programs that are only in the dev realease of ubuntu, backported into the current release
[07:29] <empty> Agrajag: thanks
[07:29] <Jack_Sparrow> jstarcher: No bent pins or bad cables, no metal detectors.. airport wands
[07:29] <Agrajag> empty: or apt-cache search linux-source
[07:29] <erUSUL> empty: synaptic or apt-cache search
[07:29] <Agrajag> empty: also, if you're running dapper 2.6.17 isn't in there
[07:29] <Jack_Sparrow> jstarcher: Wish I could help more.\\
[07:29] <phichipsi> sanket, the project has been deleted on sf
[07:29] <sharperguy> glick: oh darn, was looking to see if u got a reply already, but missed it
[07:29] <benw> How do I mount my Webcam on linux?
[07:29] <sanket> phichipsi: u will get the package somewhere
[07:29] <sharperguy> !repos > sharperguy
[07:29] <Jack_Sparrow> jstarcher: Did yo by chance drop that into a box with windows on it..?
[07:29] <empty> Agrajag: im running 6.06 with 2.6.15 ..
[07:30] <glick> in synaptic when i click add repo i click on non-free multiverse but it doesnt do anything
[07:30] <jstarcher> m4rk: probably nothing but I just know the interference of photoshop and rather then learning gimp right now I just setup a virtual machine and run that. Works great too. I have 2gb of ram and it is near native speed with my cut down XP :-)
[07:30] <Agrajag> empty: then 2.6.15 is the highest version you will find in the repository
[07:30] <ladydoor> glick: try clicking reload after you enable it
[07:30] <eyequeue> sharperguy, /msg ubotu repos :)
[07:30] <nox-Hand> erUSUL, Dont know
[07:30] <nox-Hand> Sec..
[07:30] <nox-Hand> Just uncomment all with # in front?
[07:30] <empty> Agrajag: how do i upgrade my kernel then? =)
[07:30] <erUSUL> !sources
[07:30] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[07:30] <jstarcher> Jack_Sparrow: Nope, it's never seen anything m$, thank god
[07:30] <erUSUL> !easysources
[07:30] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[07:30] <Agrajag> empty: upgrade to Edgy or build your own kernel.
[07:30] <eyequeue> empty, *why* do you feel the need?
[07:30] <m4rk> jstarcher: how did you get your VM machine?
[07:31] <Jack_Sparrow> jstarcher: I know that booting my tivo drive (linux) in a windows box writes a small file to it and messes it up.
[07:31] <rdemanow> where can I find information about the boot: propmpt options for yaboot?  Google is useless in this regard.
[07:31] <m4rk> jstarcher I have the VMware player only
[07:31] <erUSUL> eyequeue: he can not boot without acpi=off
[07:31] <sharperguy> eyequeue: i know, i didnt need help, just didnt notice that u'd already helped him, so i did it again
[07:31] <nox-Hand> erUSUL, I just uncommented em
[07:31] <Jack_Sparrow> jstarcher: Just a thought.
[07:31] <eyequeue> sharperguy, heh
[07:31] <jstarcher> Jack_Sparrow: yeah, windows messes stuff up lol. That's okay, thanks for trying!
[07:31] <erUSUL> nox-Hand: 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ........'
[07:32] <jstarcher> m4rk: you need VM Workstation
[07:32] <nox-Hand> erUSUL, Yeah. Thanks :)
[07:32] <Agrajag> jstarcher: for what?
[07:32] <sanket> My X has crashed after I reinstalled GDM. Someone help, cant get it working
[07:32] <jstarcher> m4rk: they just released 5.5 (iirc) which gives better support under Ubuntu 6.06
[07:32] <ladydoor> sanket: try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[07:32] <m4rk> VM workstation
[07:32] <sanket> ladydoor: i know, it doesnt work
[07:33] <jstarcher> Agrajag: he wants photoshop so I told him he can run it under a virtual machine :-)
[07:33] <sanket> ladydoor: i get an error
[07:33] <Agrajag> jstarcher: what does he need workstation for that he can't get with one of the free products?
[07:33] <ladydoor> sanket: oh...sorry. i don't know then
[07:33] <ladydoor> sanket: what's your error?
[07:33] <Agrajag> jstarcher: then why not VMWare Server?
[07:33] <benw> How do I add my webcam on Ubuntu. help.ubuntu.com has nothing, and neither does the wiki
[07:33] <sanket> ladydoor: could not open default cursor font 'cursor' f"
[07:33] <jstarcher> Agrajag: why server over workstation? I thought server was to put it on a server and run a client from it
[07:33] <opexoc> Hi. I have almost installed BitTornado and I downloaded some *.torrent file. But the light is yellow. It is my first time when I using some torrent client. What could be a reason of this problem ?
[07:33] <tjcarter> hmm, my frontend (MacOS X) cannot connect to my backend (Ubuntu).  It claims it is timing out.  The old KnoppMyth backend worked once I commented out skip-networking, but Ubuntu used bind-address 128.0.0.1 instead.  (I've commented this and restarted)
[07:33] <Agrajag> server is free, and you can run it all on the same machine
[07:34] <tjcarter> any thoughts what I might check?
[07:34] <trappist> benw: nothing as in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam ?
[07:34] <tjcarter> er, whoops, this all pertains to mythtv  =)
[07:34] <ladydoor> sanket: maybe try reinstalling stuff relating to the xcursor? do apt-cache search xcursor to find packages relating. other than that, i have *no* idea
[07:34] <empty> erUSUL: should I build my own kernel or can I get an "ubuntu" kernel or whatever its called here in the wiki, higher then .15?
[07:34] <trappist> benw: or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[07:34] <jstarcher> Agrajag: icic....well I didn't ever look into that honestly. Thanks for pointing it out. I may have a looksee since my VM workstation isn't what you'd say 'legal' :-P
[07:34] <tjcarter> that little bit of info is probably significant  =D
[07:35] <earth|afk> a question: what size linux swap i should have if i plan on replacing my current 1gb ram with 4gb ram in total ?
[07:35] <benw> Booger... I was using the search function and got nothing :(
[07:35] <jstarcher> earth|afk: I'd go with 2gb probably
[07:35] <trappist> earth|afk: more than 1GB of swap is excessive in most cases - with 4GB of ram you probably don't need any swap at all.
[07:35] <ladydoor> empty: ubuntu seems to be fairly good about uprgading its kernels every now and then...with patience, one will be in the repos
[07:35] <sanket> ladydoor: ok let me try
[07:35] <jake1> is there a way to install kubuntu with the synaptic package manager?
[07:35] <jstarcher> earth|afk: just depends on what you are doing
[07:35] <Agrajag> ladydoor: not in Dapper it won't
[07:35] <jake1> instead of using a CD
[07:35] <jake1> ?
[07:35] <rdemanow> I need some help with yaboot boot: prompt options, please, so I can start ubuntu on my iBook without it trying to mount my hard drive read-write, but read-only instead?
[07:35] <ShoeUnited> I uh found the error messages. lol
[07:35] <jstarcher> jake1: eww, why kubuntu?
[07:35] <nox-Hand> erUSUL, I need more help :/
[07:36] <ladydoor> jake1: search for the package kubuntu-desktop
[07:36] <eyequeue> jake1, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[07:36] <nox-Hand> More problems
[07:36] <sharperguy> jake1: install the kubuntu-desktop packege
[07:36] <ladydoor> Agrajag: won't what?
[07:36] <Agrajag> Dapper will be 2.6.15 until the day it stops getting updates
[07:36] <eyequeue> jake1, or use the tool of your choice
[07:36] <ShoeUnited> It says: VBE not found   and Screen not found
[07:36] <earth|afk> trappist answered my question pretty nice thanks :)
[07:36] <jake1> i like KDE
[07:36] <trappist> earth|afk: come to think of it, you won't be able to use swap with 4GB of ram without using a kernel that can address more than 4GB of memory.  unless you're on amd64.
[07:36] <ShoeUnited> I810 (0)
[07:36] <ladydoor> Agrajag: oh...weird. i just remember in breezy having my kernel upgraded several times
[07:36] <eyequeue> dapper's 2.6.15 will get backports to it though
[07:36] <trpr> jake1: i think its as easy as installing the "kubuntu-desktop" package
[07:36] <jake1> oh
[07:36] <ucordes> hey all! since i refuese priting my homework in windows, i need to get my canon pixma mp150 running on linux. anybody knows how?
[07:36] <Agrajag> ladydoor: yes, but not past 2.6.15
[07:36] <earth|afk> i am on dual opterons >:D
[07:36] <jstarcher> jake1: meh, slackware is where it's at
[07:36] <jake1> that's what i was thinking
[07:36] <Graig> help, remote desktop wont work.
[07:36] <earth|afk> its amd64 :)
[07:36] <trpr> jake1: which should be a meta package which will install a bunch of others
[07:36] <Agrajag> ladydoor: er, in breezy not past 2.6.12
[07:36] <ladydoor> Agrajag: well, right, because it was breezy
[07:37] <m4rk> is VM Workstation something I have to pay for?
[07:37] <trappist> m4rk: yes
[07:37] <m4rk> i would rather use wine
[07:37] <ucordes> m4rk: yes
[07:37] <jake1> though i dnt mind gnome at all
[07:37] <m4rk> i wish wine worked
[07:37] <empty> ladydoor: so until then just keep booting with "apci=off" ? How do i get the "edgy" kernel?
[07:37] <whitesoft> Hello
[07:37] <jake1> i want some more gnome themes though
[07:37] <m4rk> whitesoft: hi there
[07:37] <Graig> i enabled remote desktop on my mom's remote computer, and i tried using vnc viewer to connect and it wont connect!
[07:37] <Dr_Willis> ucordes,  GOOD LUCK with a Canon Pixma -  Check the cups.org site to see if the thing is even supported.. and its canon's fault.
[07:37] <nox-Hand> Can someone help me here?
[07:37] <nox-Hand> http://paste.lisp.org/display/24820
[07:37] <nox-Hand> Please
[07:37] <trappist> m4rk: I wish wine worked out of the box too.  I use crossover office, which isn't free but very reasonably priced.
[07:37] <jstarcher> m4rk: yes, but as Agrajag said you can get the vmware  server for free and use that :)
[07:37] <ladydoor> empty: edgy is still in development. not good for a primary desktop
[07:37] <ladydoor> !edgy > empty
[07:37] <m4rk> jstarcher: sorry i missed that bit
[07:37] <sharperguy> !edgy > sharperguy
[07:37] <Jack_Sparrow> jake1: Not enough themes at gnome-look.org?
[07:38] <linuxmint> I'm trying to setup Grub automatically via a script. Can I define the mappings between devices and grub devices the way I want within the /boot/grub/device.map file ?
[07:38] <jstarcher> m4rk: again, photoshop even on crossover isn't 100%
[07:38] <jake1> didn't look there
[07:38] <eyequeue> !msgthebot
[07:38] <ubotu> Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops
[07:38] <jstarcher> anyone here know anything about running HL2 on linux?
[07:38] <trappist> jstarcher: works very nicely, really, and is officially supported
[07:38] <m4rk> go vmware
[07:38] <jake1> just decided now i want more gnome themes
[07:38] <ShoeUnited> X Windows says VBE and screen Not found
[07:38] <jake1> jstarcher you could try WINE
[07:38] <Jack_Sparrow> jake1: more than you need
[07:38] <m4rk> i have a mate who works as a vmware consultant. i should ask him for a copy
[07:39] <Graig> i enabled remote desktop on my mom's remote computer, and i tried using vnc viewer to connect and it wont connect!
[07:39] <Agrajag> m4rk: vmware server is absolutely free
[07:39] <Dr_Willis> linuxmint,  im not sure thats doable. I though that file was how grub scanned/saw the devices.
[07:39] <Jack_Sparrow> jake1: DO you know how to install them
[07:39] <Febs> How does one resize the desktop icons?
[07:39] <jstarcher> trappist: yeah they say that but that is only 7.0 too. I read the notes on 7.0 and there are still a lot of problems
[07:39] <sharperguy> Febs: right click on it and choose resize
[07:39] <ucordes> Dr_Willis: i think in most cases it is the manufacturer's fault. i allready had the printer ( not the scanner ) running with a non-free driver called "turboprint". so i think there is a way to get it running. but that turboprint was crap because i had to pay in order to remove their ad from my printings.
[07:39] <Dr_Willis> Graig,  enabled what 'remote desktop' ?
[07:39] <jstarcher> jake1: wine is crossover....crossover supports more though
[07:39] <jake1> wait other thing i'm curious about is there a way to get more resolutions on ubuntu (i was suppose to select other resolutions off the cd, but my screen could support higher resolutions now, and i dnt want to have to go through the CD to do it
[07:40] <matahari> hi
[07:40] <ucordes> so nobody knows something on canon pixma issues?
[07:40] <bbrazil> jake1: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:40] <linuxmint> Dr_Willis: yes, it is. But you can edit it to change how Grub sees them... so I was wondering if there were restrictions (for instance, if I put hda1 on hd0,0 and sda3 on hd0,1 will it complain or not ?)
[07:40] <matahari> i just wanted to install ubuntu over the net
[07:40] <Jack_Sparrow> jake1: What video card
[07:40] <cerda> anyone knows if is there a way to mix subtitles of movies?
[07:40] <Dr_Willis> ucordes,  well if turbo print supports it - then it will proberly eventually get into the normal drivers in a year or so.
[07:40] <jstarcher> Graig: yes, I have the EXACT same fucking problem and it pisses me off
[07:40] <ShoeUnited> ucordes try canon's site
[07:40] <jake1> eeee...... err
[07:40] <extern> where can I get java plugin for firefox? Firefox can't automatically install it, when I install it manually, it still doesn't work
[07:40] <Dr_Willis> ucordes,  thats how the cups guys make $$$
[07:40] <jake1> something not impressive
[07:40] <jake1> lol
[07:40] <Graig> Dr_Willis: the ubuntu remote desktop.  the one where you can enable it in the control panel.
[07:40] <matahari> but i get the error "error: not a tagged image \n Cannot load file"
[07:40] <ucordes> ShoeUnited: thanks allready checked there
[07:40] <linuxmint> extern: sudo aptitude install sun-java5-plugin
[07:40] <jake1> but it has a resolution of 12something by 8 something
[07:40] <m4rk> I'll try it Agrajag
[07:40] <jstarcher> Graig: does it say something about rs6.6 or something
[07:41] <Graig> jstarcher:  no it simply doesn't connect,
[07:41] <m4rk> jstarcher: is there a howto or something on the ideal minimal XP installation to use with vmware?
[07:41] <ladydoor> crap...semi-unreliable interweb connection
[07:41] <ucordes> Dr_Willis: buy promissing ppl like turboprint to not include the driver into their cups?
[07:41] <extern> linuxmint, it says that sun-java5-plugin does not exist
[07:41] <Jack_Sparrow> jake1: so you are probably running vesa default and did not insatll any special drivers
[07:41] <rdemanow> Somebody please help me, I've been searching the web for 3 days and can't find the info I need.
[07:41] <Febs> sharperguy: thanks, that was embarrassing obvious.  I can "stretch" to a smaller size, but I wonder why my icons are so large to begin with.
[07:41] <ucordes> i hate turboprint
[07:41] <linuxmint> extern: then you need to configure your /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:41] <jstarcher> Graig: yeah, I've tried ever vnc viewer that i could possibly find on google and no luck with any of them.
[07:41] <Dr_Willis> ucordes,   the drivers that are  are free now - were in turboprint a few yrs back... ect.. the sound drivers used to have a similer thing.
[07:42] <nox-Hand> Can anyone help me with an apt-get error? Please, I have had this all day..
[07:42] <Graig> jstarcher: great. :(
[07:42] <jstarcher> m4rk: not that I know of
[07:42] <benw> I will try
[07:42] <Dr_Willis> ucordes,  its highly possible the turboprint guys had to sign nda's and otehr licensing agreements with canon.
[07:42] <sharperguy> Febs: its just like that with gnome i think
[07:42] <tim> im haveing a problem with the ubuntu server 6.06. i followed the instructions on http://www.howtoforge.com/lamp_installation_ubuntu6.06 but my apache server doesnot start. what do i do next?
[07:42] <jake1> ah
[07:42] <benw> nox-hand: I will try
[07:42] <jake1> cuz the resolution is ok
[07:42] <ucordes> Dr_Willis: what's an NDA?
[07:42] <jake1> but it could be better
[07:42] <Dr_Willis> ucordes,  lets just say that i wont buy another canon printer for a long time.
[07:43] <rdemanow> ucordes: Non Disclosure Agreement
[07:43] <jake1> it's 1024x768
[07:43] <Dr_Willis> ucordes,  Non-Disclosure-Agreement.   the turboprint guys CANT release the info because canon wont let them.
[07:43] <jake1> right now
[07:43] <Naosz> NDA = non disclosure agreement
[07:43] <ucordes> i see
[07:43] <jake1> i want to go higher
[07:43] <jstarcher> m4rk: I just used nlite to cut out the extra bullshit and it is much smaller and faster now. And yes, you most certainly could get rid of your windows install :)
[07:43] <ucordes> Dr_Willis: i did not know that i would completly change to linux when i bought it
[07:43] <Jack_Sparrow> jake1: Did you answer my question?
[07:43] <Dr_Willis> ucordes,  now you are getting a sample of the 'closed driver' fiasco thats affecting linux in so many ways.
[07:43] <m4rk> nlite? never heard of it
[07:43] <jake1> oh sorry
[07:43] <jake1> what question?
[07:43] <jstarcher> Graig: wierd thing is that it works perfectly fine when connecting from linux
[07:43] <Dr_Willis> m4rk,  ive used nlite - its a nifty tool for windows. :P
[07:44] <Jack_Sparrow> jake1: What video card
[07:44] <jake1> card type?
[07:44] <jake1> oh hehe
[07:44] <Jack_Sparrow> jake1: so you are probably running vesa default and did not insatll any special drivers
[07:44] <jake1> hld on
[07:44] <linuxmint> jake1: what graphic card to you have ?
[07:44] <extern> linuxmint, which repository should I add?
[07:44] <jstarcher> m4rk: yep, nlite is neato :-)
[07:44] <m4rk> i still need my visual studio. maybe i should just get another laptop
[07:44] <jake1> it's a new laptop
[07:44] <jake1> so i'll tell you in a sec
[07:44] <linuxmint> extern: not sure... universe, multiverse I guess.
[07:44] <Jack_Sparrow> add comes to mind
[07:44] <nox-Hand> benw, Thanks! I have this pastebin: http://paste.lisp.org/display/24820
[07:44] <ucordes> Dr_Willis: i allready got one when i checked for the drivers on google. but not like this regarding the background information i just got :-)

[07:55] <illvarg> does xserver-xorg-core(latest) work for ati now?
[07:55] <Jack_Sparrow> jake1: Sorry but I dont understand your question
[07:55] <jstarcher> mjr: ic? How do you do it then?
[07:56] <mjr> jstarcher, the kernel has ramdisk support and tmpfs support, tmpfs is probably better for most purposes, and easier (tmpfs can be swapped out)
[07:56] <RvGaTe> had to restart my X for dual screen.... now my right monitor works perfectly on 1400x1050 correctly alligned... but my left one is still shit :P, the screens are identical only the left one runs on vga, and the right one on dvi... could that be the difference?
[07:56] <Jack_Sparrow> jake1: DO you want to pipe terminal output to a file?
[07:56] <mjr> jstarcher, basically, sudo mount -t tmpfs tmpfs directory
[07:56] <Sakireth> :( Am i being ignored?
[07:56] <ucordes> or anyone has a hint on where to get a turboprint cd key?
[07:56] <jake1> no i want to copy the entire output to pastebin

[07:58] <jstarcher> Sakireth: I'm no linux guru yet as I'm really a noobie, but what I ended up doing is removing the newer version, installing the app, then upgrading back to the new one :) I guess that is the only way you can do it?

[08:06] <Naosz> is there an ubuntu radio stream?
[08:06] <jstarcher> Naosz: I couldn't find one
[08:06] <chankuco_> someone could help me, gdm doesnt working
[08:06] <Naosz> hmm
[08:06] <Jamminpotato> is there a way to make the panel in XFCE clear like in macOSX
[08:07] <benw> gnomefreak:  How do I copy stuff from terminal? it wont let me
[08:07] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE: read it.. whats the ?
[08:07] <fyrestrtr> benw: left click + drag = copy
[08:07] <jstarcher> Naosz: I just went to some rock site it works but I had to run it through my vwmare  XP because you needed wmp
[08:07] <chankuco_> id like to configure gdm on console
[08:07] <fyrestrtr> benw: right click = paste
[08:07] <benw> ooo
[08:07] <jstarcher> Naosz: It would work fine with realplayer but I didn't have it installed
[08:07] <sekhar> fyrestrtr
[08:07] <bjames> I just installed Xgl on my Ubuntu Dapper release and it doesn't work correctly - when I run it it misses out the window decorations so that windows cannot be resized or moved
[08:07] <jstarcher> Naosz: what are you looking for exactly, music right?
[08:08] <robin_> Hi a game called Xmoto just flashes the screen and quits, any thoughts?
[08:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE: they are just restricting them at peak times
[08:08] <sekhar> help me i am new to linux
[08:08] <fyrestrtr> bjames: that's xgl for ya :) its experimental stuff, so expect it to not work properly. xgl is #ubuntu-xgl or #xgl
[08:08] <vapermonkey00> i dont get it
[08:08] <ShoeUnited> Ok the V_bios won't initialize, and X system says it can't find a screen.  What do I do to make it work?
[08:08] <Naosz> jstarcher you got me wrong, I was after an Ubuntu radio station stream, the app streamtuner does what your after
[08:08] <benw> gnomefreak:  Thanks, I actually just solved my problem.. somehow :s
[08:08] <fyrestrtr> robin_: run it from a console and see the error message
[08:09] <robin_> sudo?
[08:09] <jake1> :-\
[08:09] <sekhar> when i try to install any thing using terminal for example vlc
[08:09] <sekhar> this is wat happens
[08:09] <sekhar>  sudo apt-get install vlc
[08:09] <sekhar> Reading package lists... Done
[08:09] <sekhar> Building dependency tree... Done
[08:09] <sekhar> E: Couldn't find package vlc
 this will be my new broadband provider shortly and 1 of a few probs i have with them beside the impending usb modem trouble *sigh* is the peer2peer usage restrictions ...im a frequent user of p2p and would like to know if this is going to be a problem?
[08:09] <Agrajag> robin_: don't use sudo unless you need root privileges
[08:09] <jake1> wtf
[08:09] <Jack_Sparrow> jstarcher: may I pm you
[08:09] <jstarcher> Naosz: icic, thanks for the reco. What are you lookinf for exactly then?
[08:09] <robin_> Agrajag: What to use instead?
[08:09] <jstarcher> Jack_Sparrow: of course
[08:09] <Agrajag> just run the program from the console
[08:09] <bjames> fyrestrtr: cheers
[08:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE: It will limit your access yes, but broadband for that price must have restrictions
[08:10] <robin_> Agrajag: Reinstalling the game does not help
[08:10] <m4rk> can i get msn video to work with unbuntu?
 when would be considered peek
[08:10] <Agrajag> robin_: open a terminal, and run the game from there.
[08:10] <plastic> where i can find execflow in ubuntu?
[08:10] <derrickh> Has there been reports of glxgears reporting false fps?  It seems the gears are running smoothly but its only reporting <300 fps
[08:10] <robin_> Agrajag: I asked for the command needed :D
[08:10] <BMan> How do I install the patches ornioco drivers in Ubuntu 6?
[08:10] <Naosz> I was wondering if there was a Ubuntu specific radio station stream, looks like theres just a podcast
[08:10] <Agrajag> robin_: I don't know, try the name of the game
[08:10] <mjr> glxgears is not a benchmark (and 300 fps _should_ seem smooth)
[08:10] <chankuco_> somebody can helpme?
[08:11] <robin_> Agrajag: Cool!
 will this mean they will reduce my speed
[08:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE: They look at their peek, when p2p impeads other traffic it will be restricted
[08:11] <ShoeUnited> Ok the V_bios won't initialize, and X system says it can't find a screen.  What do I do to make it work so I can install ubuntu?
[08:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE: Yes
[08:11] <trpr> sekhar: the repository vlc is in must not be in your sources.list. edit /etc/apt/sources.list and make sure the universe repositories are enabled
[08:11] <derrickh> mjr:  glxgears used to report >6000 fps but after the recent updates, I cant get it past 300
[08:11] <robin_> Agrajag: X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
[08:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE: If not shut down entirely
[08:11] <derrickh> recent mesa*
[08:11] <Jack_Sparrow> derrickh: reinstall your drivers
[08:12] <Agrajag> robin_: hell if I know, the game must be bugged
[08:12] <sekhar> how to enable univese repositories
[08:12] <robin_> Agrajag: Can I permantly delete it from what folder in that case?
[08:12] <fyrestrtr> !universe
[08:12] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[08:12] <sekhar> trpr
[08:12] <derrickh> Jack_S: i have many times
[08:12] <ladydoor> sekhar: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:12] <Agrajag> robin_: just apt-get remove it
[08:12] <ladydoor> sekhar: then remove the #'s from the beginnings of the lines that say "universe." there'll be instructions in the file
 for e.g. If my connection is 2mb and im downloading a file at around 20-30 kbs would that be a problem
[08:13] <trpr> sekhar: all lines starting with # in /etc/apt/sources.list are treated as comments.. remove the preceding # from the right lines and apt-get update
[08:13] <derrickh> fglrxinfo reports the right drivers are installed but I am unable to use XGL because there is a conflict
[08:13] <JoseStefan> I'm using irrsi for the first time, and outside of X, how can i make my overall CLI fonts smaller?
[08:13] <sekhar> letmee check
[08:13] <rdemanow> Help me please:  Is there a kernel parameter that can be used with the powerpc Ubuntu live CD that will cause it to *not* try mounting the built-in hard drive?
[08:13] <sekhar> thanks

[08:13] <ShoeUnited> :'(
[08:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE: That is not something I can answer and it is off topic...
[08:13] <Agrajag> robin_: you need build-essential and any -dev packages the program needs
 do u think its worth the trade of
[08:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE: virtually free broadband.. yes
[08:14] <Paddy_EIRE> kk

[08:14] <gobba> Hi i have a problem with my graphics settings or something. When my computer loads or do anything my screen flickers. Anyone have a clue of why? its an old comp..
[08:14] <robin_> no command found build-essential

[08:14] <Jack_Sparrow> jstarcher: You still here.. did you see the pm?
[08:14] <gnomefreak> robin_: if it is in the repos ;)
[08:15] <Agrajag> robin_: apt-get install build-essential, it's a package
[08:15] <||arifaX> someone good in using sshfs in fstab? got some problems
[08:15] <markedwards> can someone give me some advice on removing a kernel module?
[08:15] <m4rk> frozen-bubble is a very addictive game

[08:15] <gnomefreak> robin_: what did you download?

[08:19] <gnomefreak> robin_: yes or sh xmoto.bin
[08:19] <fyrestrtr> Pulshion: ATI tools should work if you have the drivers from ati.com
[08:19] <Jack_Sparrow> jstarcher: mind waiting a minute while we fix his XP grub entry
[08:19] <robin_> gnomefreak: difference? :D
[08:19] <jstarcher> Jack_Sparrow: not at all

[08:29] <Dreamofgilgamesh> hi there
[08:30] <fyrestrtr> exs: for the first question, you need to install xgl (#ubuntu-xgl) -- for the second one -- define fun. I like libreakout2 :)
[08:30] <gnomefreak> R0bin: did you get all the build-deps for it?
[08:30] <gnomefreak> R0bin: did you untar the .tar file?
[08:30] <R0bin> gnomefreak: I think so, what should I look for
[08:30] <carlo_> gnomefreak: I tried several times. Each update marked fials.
[08:30] <carlo_> fails*
[08:30] <gnomefreak> R0bin: first cd to where the tar file is than untar it
[08:30] <R0bin> gnomefreak: yes there are lots of cpp files here and stuff
[08:30] <dcstimm> hey guys, do you know a way to make a progress bar for cp -a?
[08:30] <gnomefreak> R0bin: do you have a tar file?
[08:31] <exs> fyrestrtr:  thanks. I have a normal chipset graphics (s3) but it does 3d quite good (it's the VIA chrome chipset) So, it should run with xgl?
[08:31] <fyrestrtr> dcstimm: do it from nautilus :D
[08:31] <fyrestrtr> exs: you should check the hardware compatibility list.
[08:31] <dcstimm> fyrestrtr, umm nope
[08:31] <R0bin> gnomefreak: xmoto-0.2.0-src.tar.gz
[08:31] <exs> fyrestrtr:  thanks.. where is that?
[08:31] <Chu> This is terribly pathetic, but there seems to be a link in my home directory for something in /, which is in another partition. How might I delete such a terrible thing? :'(
[08:31] <gnomefreak> R0bin: sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall
[08:32] <fyrestrtr> I believe somewhere on the wiki. Try https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xgl
[08:32] <gnomefreak> R0bin: when its done run sudo apt-get build-dep xmoto
[08:32] <gnomefreak> R0bin: when thats done ping me
[08:32] <Jack_Sparrow> sorry
[08:33] <Clinton__> so no ideas on the F5D6020 problem?

[08:34] <Chu> Secondly, my PCMCIA services have been failing to load ever since I got Dapper on this machine. Is there a fix for this?
[08:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE: still have two irons in the fire..
[08:35] <m0> how do I reinstall TERMINAL??
[08:35] <TLE> Jack_Sparrow: yeah it works perfectly, thank you
[08:35] <m0> is it gnome-terminal?
[08:35] <fyrestrtr> markedwards: reboot the machine, and check lsmod :)
[08:35] <Jack_Sparrow> np glad it worked out and you learned something
[08:35] <R0bin> So the .tar.gz file should still be untared?
[08:35] <fyrestrtr> m0: what's wrong with your terminal?
[08:35] <m0> fyrestrtr: when I run it, it closes and crashes
[08:35] <Jack_Sparrow> TLE: now do it again and make a backup for next time
[08:36] <m0> fyrestrtr: the terminal on gnome
[08:36] <TLE> Jack_Sparrow: will do
[08:36] <fyrestrtr> m0: hrmm, okay. Hit alt+f2, type xterm and hit enter.
[08:36] <m0> hmm
[08:36] <m0> how do I come back to this screen?
[08:36] <fyrestrtr> m0: then, type gnome-terminal and see what error it gives you.
[08:36] <jake1> ummmmm... i downloaded a theme, but how do i install it?
[08:36] <fyrestrtr> m0: I said alt+f2, not ctrl+alt+f2 ;)
[08:36] <gnomefreak> R0bin: did you run the commands i gave you?
[08:36] <m0> ah ok :)
[08:36] <Jack_Sparrow> jake1:  drop it onto the theme manager
[08:37] <Jack_Sparrow> jake1: dont untar it just drag and poof
[08:37] <fyrestrtr> jake1: system > preferences > themes then click and drag it to that window to auto-install.
[08:37] <m0> undefined cte-terminal
[08:37] <R0bin> I think it downloaded something when I ran udo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall
[08:37] <R0bin> I get not found on sudo apt-get build-dep xmoto
[08:37] <gnomefreak> R0bin: did you run sudo apt-get build-dep xmoto?
[08:37] <ucordes> jake1: compiz themes? where can i get those
[08:37] <gnomefreak> R0bin: not good
[08:38] <fyrestrtr> m0: that's it?
[08:38] <R0bin> gnomefreak: ok :(
[08:38] <m0> fyrestrtr: undefined symbol: vte_terminal_set_opacity
[08:38] <Peit> hello everyone, im trying to reinstall grub after a windows xp install with a live cd, but when i chroot into my old install all the /dev/hdxx devices are gone, so 'grub-install /dev/hda' doesnt work... any clues?
[08:38] <m0> fyrestrtr: That was my error
[08:38] <R0bin> gnomefreak: the file is now on my desktop "zipped" in a .tar.gz
[08:38] <gnomefreak> R0bin: you need to got o the sourceforge page adn read the instructions you need to find out what files you need to build that package
[08:38] <fyrestrtr> m0: are you doing anything exotic like xgl?
[08:38] <exs> I saw an advanced startbar the other day.. what is it called?
[08:38] <m0> My error for my gnome terminal is this: ndefined symbol: vte_terminal_set_opacity
[08:38] <m0> fyrestrtr: yes sir, aiglx
[08:38] <R0bin> gnomefreak: Why arn't just the games in the package manager up to date?
[08:38] <gnomefreak> R0bin: without the files you need to build it its gonna fail
[08:39] <jake1> Jack_Sparrow: it says format invalid
[08:39] <m0> fyrestrtr: lol so erotic I tell you hah
[08:39] <R0bin> gnomefreak: How does sudo apt-get build-dep know where my file is?
[08:39] <gnomefreak> R0bin: dont know i dont play games but if xmoto is in repos than the command should give yout he files it needs
[08:39] <fyrestrtr> m0: that could be it. Its not that big of a problem to be honest. You can use any number of different terminals, and I think if you disable aiglx, it should fix it.
[08:39] <Jack_Sparrow> jake1: some of those will not work which is why I said MOST will work, just try a different one
[08:39] <jake1> ah
[08:39] <m0> fyrestrtr: hmm how do I disable aiglx?
[08:39] <gnomefreak> R0bin: the command grabs the build dependecies for the package yout ell it
[08:39] <Jack_Sparrow> jake1: Out of 30 I d/l 3 would not work
[08:40] <fyrestrtr> m0: no freakin' clue :) ask in #xgl
[08:40] <R0bin> gnomefreak: ok
[08:40] <Howitzer> Is there a way to recreate all .desktop files in /usr/share/applications ? (or at least roll them back to original state) since i kind of screwed around and deleted the contents of all those .desktop files

[08:51] <Peit> hello everyone, im trying to reinstall grub after a windows xp install with a live cd, but when i chroot into my old install all the /dev/hdxx devices are gone, so 'grub-install /dev/hda' doesnt work... any clues?
[08:51] <fyrestrtr> R0bin: what in the blazes are you trying to do?
[08:51] <Paulox> is there any channel like #ubunt-hardware?
[08:51] <ladydoor> ETronik: does it mount at all?
[08:51] <fyrestrtr> Crazed: I know the book has a camel on it :P (what is the question?)
[08:51] <gnomefreak> R0bin: no you better read the README and the INSTALL files before you download or do anything. this is not a joke
[08:51] <R0bin> gnomefreak: ok
[08:51] <Crazed> I cant get perl scripts to work
[08:51] <gnomefreak> R0bin: those fuiles will tell you exactly what files you need to build it
[08:51] <Crazed> wel they are working
[08:52] <Crazed> but not correctly
[08:52] <fyrestrtr> lol @ this is not a joke
[08:52] <BigToe> guys, I can't use the arrow keys in flash player or in tuxracer, probably other apps too, what's causing it? I can use it in xchat fine
[08:52] <gnomefreak> files
[08:52] <fyrestrtr> Crazed: what error?
[08:52] <Crazed> The script executes
[08:52] <gnomefreak> fyrestrtr: i have told her for last 20 mintues to read those files
[08:52] <Crazed> no errors .. but I can only download the output of a script
[08:53] <R0bin> I like ubuntu's realtime text preview on the thumbnail
[08:53] <fyrestrtr> Crazed: hrmm, mod_perl ?
[08:53] <Crazed> what do you mean ?
[08:53] <fyrestrtr> R0bin: that's a feature of nautilus, not ubuntu :)
[08:53] <Crazed> if it is loaded ?
[08:53] <fyrestrtr> Crazed: is that what you are using?
[08:53] <Crazed> uhm installed it with synaptic ..
[08:53] <R0bin> fyrestrtr: lol :)
[08:54] <Crazed> yes mod perl
[08:54] <Crazed> libapache2-mod-perl2
[08:54] <m0> fyrestrtr: when I do mount -o loop foo.bin /virtual/vcd  it says You must specify the filesystem
[08:54] <Dr_Willis> m0,  specify the filesystem then
[08:54] <Dr_Willis> :)
[08:54] <Dr_Willis> like -t iso9660
[08:54] <m0> Dr_Willis: i am just trying to mount the .bin :s
[08:55] <Dr_Willis> m0,  it still has a filesystem
 Jack you back???
[08:55] <BigToe>  irc_auto_rejoin set to: 1
[08:55] <BigToe> oops
[08:55] <TLE> ShoeUnited: Try to start a thread, there may be some help there
[08:55] <BigToe> wrong window
[08:55] <Dr_Willis> you may need to covnert the bin/cue to iso. Never tried to mount a .bin - i tend to avoide them
[08:55] <fyrestrtr> Crazed: did you enable it? (ie, did you runs sudo a2enmod modperl)
[08:55] <m0> how do I convert?
[08:55] <R0bin> Argh, forget it =)
[08:55] <BigToe> guys, I can't use the arrow keys in flash player or in tuxracer, probably other apps too, what's causing it? I can use the keys in xchat fine
[08:56] <nox-Hand> benw, I say you wrote something about my error whilst I was gone in the logs - anything I can use? :) Thanks for trying
[08:56] <m0> Dr_Willis: how do I convert to ISO
[08:56] <Crazed> fyrestrtr: it is working but not right
[08:56] <Crazed> w8 :)
[08:56] <benw> nox-Hand:  Wasn't able to figure it out.

[08:56] <Dr_Willis> there tya go :P
[08:56] <fyrestrtr> BigToe: are you running xgl?
[08:56] <R0bin> is there a channel for ubuntu games help
[08:56] <sameer> i was installing ati
[08:56] <Paddy_EIRE> talktalk uses usb modems how do i sort this out in advance as ill have no net access to talk here for help or download drivers unless I switch back to M$ which is an annoying option!!  I would like GNU/Linux Ubuntu to stand on its own 2 feet...
[08:56] <sameer> ati fglrx
[08:56] <nox-Hand> benw, Thanks though. I am thinking this is automatix's fault - going to try to move my sources.list back to how it was before running it
[08:57] <ucordes> how can i create diagrams with ubuntu?
[08:57] <ladydoor> ucordes: what kind of diagrams/
[08:57] <BigToe> Paddy_EIRE, you won't find USB drivers D:
[08:57] <ladydoor> ?
[08:57] <fyrestrtr> R0bin: even if there was, they wouldn't help you because your problem is not related to games, just compiling.
[08:57] <fyrestrtr> ucordes: install dia
[08:57] <sameer> it just hangs with login
[08:57] <ucordes> mindmap like ones
[08:57] <m0> hmm k :)

[08:57] <R0bin> fyrestrtr: ok
[08:57] <fyrestrtr> BigToe: ah nevermind then, guess you aren't running it :)

 i hate to think my Linux Experience is going to end because of lack of internet access
[08:58] <R0bin> m0: VLC can play lots of file types try Mplayer 2
[08:59] <fyrestrtr> Crazed: you need to add the AddType line for .cgi, or enable cgi-bin for your default site. Read the README file in /etc/apache2
[08:59] <gobba> my screen flickers when the computer loads.. anyone knows how to get rid of it?
[08:59] <[top] vip3r> vlc player ownz
[08:59] <m0> is Mplayer Movie Plater
[08:59] <m0> it doesn't say Mplater in the title
[08:59] <R0bin> [top] vip3r: yes.
[08:59] <Crazed> think it is addtype then :P
[08:59] <jstarcher> [top] vip3r: Yes for sure!
[08:59] <R0bin> Mplayer
[08:59] <[top] vip3r> i have vlc player standalone that runs off my usb drive
[08:59] <GameOver69> oh man........ i deleted the flash plugin.. and the webpages work without flash
[08:59] <GameOver69> soon as i reinstall it.... CRASH
[08:59] <[top] vip3r> its nice
[08:59] <JoseStefan> fyrestrtr,  that didnt work
[08:59] <sameer> help
[08:59] <fyrestrtr> JoseStefan: what didn't?
[09:00] <leme> gnomefreak: does the alternative cd solves any problems with grafics on the installation? in the live cd i have to start in safe grafics mode. i tried vga=771 but it don't works.
[09:00] <Peit> last try =) im trying to reinstall grub after a windows xp install with a live cd, but when i chroot into my old install all the /dev/hdxx devices are gone, so 'grub-install /dev/hda' doesnt work... any clues?
[09:00] <fredl> does vmware player only run on kernel 2.6.15 ?
[09:00] <BigToe> fyrestrtr, so you don't have a solution if I'm not? :(
[09:00] <JoseStefan> fyrestrtr,  framebuffer, something overrides it afterwards, console-tools
[09:00] <[top] vip3r> peit
[09:00] <[top] vip3r> i just went through all that
[09:00] <jstarcher> Anyone know why anytime I goto a page with javascript like Google Spreadsheets in firefox my computer goes to 100% load and nearly dies?
[09:00] <ghagge> sameer, only find the current kernel when i run synaptic
[09:00] <[top] vip3r> but i am dual booting xp and ubuntu
[09:00] <tomaczec> hi
[09:01] <viator> x is borked
[09:01] <Peit> [top] vip3r: sorry must have missed it, hold on
[09:01] <fyrestrtr> BigToe: sorry, I don't. The reason I asked about xgl is because it tends to mess up your keymapping, which is something that might be causing what you described.
[09:01] <sameer> ghagge: then u have to install it
[09:01] <BigToe> ah, fyrestrtr, thanks anyway :D
[09:01] <viator> i tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:01] <[top] vip3r> no i just went through that ordeal
[09:01] <[top] vip3r> peit
[09:01] <nox-Hand> What is the latest Ubuntu kernel?
[09:01] <fyrestrtr> BigToe: you can still try the fix though. One of the ways to fix the keymap is to run xmodmap -e "/usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.us" (or whatever your keyboard mapping is)
[09:01] <nox-Hand> (( in use ))
[09:01] <[top] vip3r> me noob
[09:01] <[top] vip3r> :P
[09:01] <fredl> 2.6.15-26-686
[09:01] <sameer> i did dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and lost my login screen
[09:01] <fyrestrtr> JoseStefan: what part did you try, and what didn't work?
[09:01] <Peit> [top] vip3r: oh, he! did you succeed? :)
[09:01] <sameer> any one know where i look wat is wrong ?
[09:02] <[top] vip3r> im not running livecd
[09:02] <[top] vip3r> i am dual booting
[09:02] <BigToe> fyrestrtr, what would it be for en-gb then? xmodmap.gb? or am I dumb as usual D:
[09:02] <[top] vip3r> :P
[09:02] <[top] vip3r> and yes
[09:02] <gobba> noone knows how to fix this screen problem?
[09:02] <viator> tells me theres a fatal io error
[09:02] <ladydoor> sameer: are you in a cli?
[09:02] <fyrestrtr> BigToe: .uk I think.
[09:02] <jake1> i want a signal meter on my toolbar
[09:02] <sameer> no
[09:02] <jake1> :-(
[09:02] <viator> error 104
[09:02] <jake1> sad
[09:02] <BigToe> ah, ok, thanks
[09:02] <fyrestrtr> BigToe: ls /usr/share/xmodmap
[09:02] <sameer> ladydoor: no
[09:02] <ShoeUnited> Found it!
[09:02] <JoseStefan> fyrestrtr,  i tried a quick edit in grub, and used vga=ask, the font does change, but after it runs console-tools it reverts to the typical on
[09:02] <JoseStefan> one*
[09:02] <viator> on xserver 0:0
[09:02] <sameer> i can do startx from consol
[09:02] <[top] vip3r> Peit i used partition magic in windows to create partitions
[09:03] <ShoeUnited> I'm thinking this will fix the prob!
[09:03] <ShoeUnited> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=244993
[09:03] <fyrestrtr> JoseStefan: replace ask with whatever resolution you want. I have mine set to my laptop's native resolution, works brilliantly.
[09:03] <ladydoor> sameer: ok, try this:  exit X, then do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[09:03] <Nookie> what package is needed when trying to compile and getting this message "checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!"
[09:03] <[top] vip3r> then I installed ubuntu
[09:03] <ladydoor> sameer: (i.e., log out of your wm)
[09:03] <R0bin> Will the next version be Ubuntu 7 =
[09:03] <[top] vip3r> grub works perfectly
[09:03] <sameer> ladydoor: ok
[09:03] <ucordes> <- hands out his fire distinguisher to ShoeUnited
[09:03] <jstarcher> Anyone know why anytime I goto a page with javascript like Google Spreadsheets in firefox my computer goes to 100% load and nearly dies?
[09:03] <sameer> let me check brb
[09:03] <eyequeue> R0bin, no
[09:03] <ladydoor> sameer: kk
[09:03] <eyequeue> R0bin, 6.10
[09:03] <Peit> [top] vip3r: nice, but i dont feel like reinstalling
[09:03] <JoseStefan> fyrestrtr,  it worked until the init script ran the console-tools, i fear it will do the same even if I specify a number
[09:03] <[top] vip3r> jstarcher: got spyware?
[09:03] <R0bin> eyequeue: DEC 1?
[09:03] <eyequeue> R0bin, no

[09:04] <fyrestrtr> BigToe: what did you type?
[09:04] <ladydoor> hey, does anybody know whether there's a way to enable the framebuffer on the CLI?
[09:04] <TLE> ShoeUnited: LOL Looks promising, hope it works
[09:04] <jstarcher> [top] vip3r: lmfao I hope I don't considering it's linx :-P

[09:04] <jake1> i've tried like 9 different themes and none of them work the way you guys say it should
[09:04] <R0bin> eyequeue: cool

[09:09] <R0bin> JoseStefan: lol
[09:10] <nox-Hand> DBO, why did ya remove the ban?
[09:10] <Prohibited> Hey guys I gotta question, to launch my limewire I gotta keep typing that HOME, Path and stuff into terminal and then typing limewire to execute it, I gotta do it all the time, how can I make it so I can just click limewire and it launches, where i dont need to specify where my java is...
[09:10] <BigToe> I repeat for people who have joined since I last said it
[09:10] <BigToe> I can't use the arrow keys in flash player or in tuxracer, probably other apps too, what's causing it? I can use the keys in xchat fine
[09:10] <BigToe> D:
[09:10] <DBO> nox-Hand, because it was redundant, I had already set a ban on all of tor
[09:10] <fredl> Hmm this is odd, when I view a PDF, firefox (which is configured to use Adobe Reader) shows a white page.
[09:10] <gobba> my screen flickers when the computer loads.. anyone knows how to get rid of it?
[09:10] <nox-Hand> Right
[09:10] <fyrestrtr> Prohibited: sudo update-alternatives --config java
[09:10] <ladydoor> BigToe: is there a place to look at the keybindings in tuxracer?
[09:10] <ompaul> DBO, about time too I was just going to :)
[09:10] <JoseStefan> Peit, not exactly the log i'm looking for, looking for something similar to ctrl+alt+f8, but i need to save it to a file in order to put it on paste bin
[09:10] <nox-Hand> DBO, also, might be a public PC, crap for next user :D
[09:11] <tomaczec> JoseStefan: cat /var/log/messages
[09:11] <BigToe> ladydoor, I've changed the keys in tuxracer to wasd, but unfortunately I can't for flash games
[09:11] <sameer> ladydoor: it says unrecognized option: vt8
 you should use webboard
[09:11] <ladydoor> BigToe: ok, i was going to ask whether you could change them...i guess not
 sudo apt-get webboard
[09:12] <Paddy_EIRE> oops
[09:12] <ladydoor> sameer: when you tried to restart gdm?
[09:12] <sameer> yea
[09:12] <fyrestrtr> BigToe: you have a very strange issue to be honest.
 sudo apt-get install webboard
[09:12] <BigToe> fyrestrtr, I thought so too :\
[09:12] <Prohibited> fyrestrtr, it doesn't show my JAVA that I installed there ...
[09:12] <tomaczec> JoseStefan: dmesg just shows the tail of /var/log/messages.
[09:12] <foo> Any idea why when I do any configs via the CLI GUI the thing is borked? http://x01.ath.cx:81/temp/distort.png
[09:12] <sameer> ladydoor: i did, but it is failing with error message, unrecognized option vt8
[09:12] <fyrestrtr> Prohibited: did you install it using apt-get, or by following the instructions in the wiki?
[09:12] <ladydoor> sameer: hmmm...ok, try this:  first, sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get upgrade, then sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[09:12] <JoseStefan> I'm looking for the one with all the OKs/Fail (ctrl+alt+f8)
[09:13] <ladydoor> sameer: i'm kind of making this up as i go along, but it might work
[09:13] <Prohibited> wiki
[09:13] <fyrestrtr> Prohibited: then it should be there.

[09:14] <sameer> ok
[09:14] <foo> Any idea why when I do any configs via the CLI GUI the thing is borked? http://x01.ath.cx:81/temp/distort.png - I just fixed the link
[09:14] <ladydoor> and then go back to the cli again and try to restart it again
[09:14] <ladydoor> foo: cli gui?
[09:14] <foo> ladydoor: Scratch that. Look at the link I pasted. It says what I'm talking about - thanks
[09:15] <R0bin> *There is a battlefield vietnam patch for linux on it's webpage does it mean you can use the wincd version?*

[09:15] <vapermonkey00> how do i remove http://damas.on.neobee.net/teme/ubuntu-bootsplash.tg from repositories
[09:15] <ladydoor> sameer: i don't know then...i'm sorry
[09:15] <foo> ladydoor: uh, look at the screen shot. See all those distorted characters?
[09:15] <fredl> hey guys, I just *removed* the FireFox -> Edit -> Preferences -> Downloads -> PDF definition. Firefox still shows a blank page when I click on a PDF on the web. Any clue why it would do that?
[09:15] <sameer> ladydoor: thanks anyway
[09:16] <JoseStefan> R0bin, maybe. I know they have linux servers for the battlefield series
[09:16] <ladydoor> foo: oh! what terminal are you using?
[09:16] <jstarcher> how do I register my nickname

[09:16] <R0bin> JoseStefan: So with some games, you can just use linux as a server? That's discrimination or how you spell it lol
[09:16] <jstarcher> fyrestrtr: thanks
[09:16] <sameer> anyone know how to fix my ati gdm :(
[09:17] <vapermonkey00> i dont know when i open s.p.m. i get a error and it wont let me load it
[09:17] <foo> ladydoor: # echo $TERM
[09:17] <foo> screen
[09:17] <fyrestrtr> Paddy_EIRE: spend a few bucks (quid) and get a linksys router, and ditch the usb modem.
[09:17] <foo> ladydoor: heh, that's probably the problem
[09:17] <fredl> *sigh* it's so hard to get answers to some of the simplest questions on here lately.
[09:17] <ladydoor> foo: inside of what term?
[09:17] <Renan_s2> !xen
[09:17] <ubotu> xen is a a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. It can be found at http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/

[09:17] <JoseStefan> R0bin, i dont make the games, but server supports seems to be the typical 1st priority (before the game itself)
[09:17] <ladydoor> foo: i know that i've had problems with some apps looking nasty like that inside of screen in rxvt
[09:17] <olivier> hi
[09:17] <fredl> oh well, back to *answering* questions myself for a while again I guess.
[09:17] <R0bin> JoseStefan: ok
[09:17] <ladydoor> foo: my suggestion is screen inside of xterm
[09:17] <foo> ladydoor: I was having issues with xterm
[09:17] <fredl> yes fyrestrtr, I know.
[09:17] <ladydoor> foo: what issues?
[09:18] <foo> ladydoor: Well, not really issues.. I couldn't find a way to increase the font size.
 i would love to but the service needs to login with username and password and they dont provide support for any other modems but there own
[09:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE: Ubuntu can stand on its own two feet.  But if you are getting some cheap/free usb modem from talktalk with no info or linux drivers it is not the fault of the OS.
[09:18] <ladydoor> foo: here's a nice font. just a second
[09:18] <vapermonkey00> i get errE: Type 'http://damas.on.neobee.net/teme/ubuntu-bootsplash.tgz' is not known on line 32 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:18] <fyrestrtr> fredl: its probably because there is a default file hander for pdfs installed. Did you restart firefox after this, and what do you want to accomplish? Download pdfs and not view them inline?
[09:18] <Dr_Willis> xterm -fn somebigfont-settings-here
[09:18] <olivier> hello I've a problem, i just crashed my HD and it says superblocks are corrupted, can someone help me ?
[09:18] <fyrestrtr> Paddy_EIRE: the login and password is not a problem.
[09:18] <ladydoor> foo: insert these two lines in your .Xresources
[09:18] <ladydoor> xterm*faceName:        MiscFixed
[09:18] <foo> ladydoor: It was just too small and hard on the eyes
[09:19] <ladydoor> xterm*faceSize:        10
[09:19] <ladydoor> foo xterm*faceSize:        10
[09:19] <foo> E: Couldn't find package apt-file - hm, not apt-file on ubuntu ?
[09:19] <ladydoor> foo: you can set the facesize to whatever you want
[09:19] <foo> ladydoor: thanks
[09:19] <fredl> fyrestrtr, yup, I restarted firefox. I would like to be able to view PDF's within firefox and simply followed the instructions on ubuntuguide. It worked initially but somewhere along the lines it went broken.
[09:19] <fyrestrtr> vapermonkey00: that's because its not a valid source line. Open up /etc/apt/sources.list with sudo, and remove it.
[09:19] <fyrestrtr> foo: sudo apt-get install apt-file
[09:19] <foo> ladydoor: I don't have that file on my system, where do I put it
 i have a bt voyager 205 with both usb and ethernet and a bt voyager 210 with the same ports although i dont know the password for configuring either of them
[09:19] <ladydoor> foo: put those into /home/foo/.Xresources
[09:19] <foo> fyrestrtr: I'm already root. Hmm
[09:20] <foo> fyrestrtr: I might need to add the source
[09:20] <fyrestrtr> fredl: hrmm, I never noticed it before myself. I just always download pdf files.
[09:20] <exs> Hello. I want to use last.fm's client for linux, but it's telling me to compile the source code, and that I need an application compiler named Qt. Now, why haven't they made a .deb?..  and is the last.fm's (new) client for linux in the debian repository (synaptic) ? Thanks
[09:20] <foo> ladydoor: thanks
[09:20] <ladydoor> foo: and then do xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
 u say the login and pass are not a prob?
[09:20] <fredl> fyrestrtr, what it *does* do now, even after I removed the PDF extension (one would expect firefox to ask if I want to download it then), is that it simply shows a white page.
[09:20] <JoseStefan> I need a good tutorial on changing CLI fonts (resolution) outside of X
[09:20] <ladydoor> foo: you might also want to insert this one so you can use alt
[09:20] <vapermonkey00> how do i do that i am new to all of this
[09:20] <fyrestrtr> Paddy_EIRE: no, because the linksys configure interface will give you options to put those in. Trust me on this one :)
 normally there line is adsl
[09:20] <viator> exs why not build it from source?
[09:20] <ladydoor> foo: XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true
[09:20] <viator> is ez
[09:20] <viator> plus
[09:20] <fredl> fyrestrtr, Adobe reader standalone works fine though.
[09:20] <viator> uou can make your own debian package
[09:20] <foo> ladydoor: thanks, you're awesome.
[09:21] <ladydoor> foo: and this one will give it a nice title:  XTerm*title:           Ubuntu Terminal
[09:21] <exs> viator:  First, I don't know how ( if I knew I would ) ... Second.. why do I need this *special* Qt compiler?
 how much could i pick a cheap enough one of those up for
[09:21] <ladydoor> foo: *blush* thanks
[09:21] <fyrestrtr> fredl: hrmm, I suspect its not setting the prefs. Try deleting your firefox profile and recreating it (or alteast, move it)
[09:21] <viator> because of how they made it
[09:21] <bengoodger> can I please have a yahoo or msn IM chat with someone who knows a lot about APT's signed certificate shizz?
[09:21] <fredl> fyrestrtr, yeah that's what I was considering too *shrug*
[09:21] <fyrestrtr> Paddy_EIRE: I don't know to be honest, but no more than a few.
[09:21] <exs> viator:  they need to compile it straight away.
[09:22] <fyrestrtr> Paddy_EIRE: less than 50 I would think.
[09:22] <fyrestrtr> Paddy_EIRE: make sure you get one that's a modem AND a router (so you plug the phone line directly into it).
 yeah Jack i understand what u mean but if the thing works straight out of the box with both windows and mac why does ubuntu have such a problem with them
[09:22] <fyrestrtr> Paddy_EIRE: the WRT54G is a good one.
[09:23] <fyrestrtr> Paddy_EIRE: because, there are no drivers for it for linux :)
[09:23] <bengoodger> does anyone know about APT security?
[09:23] <vapermonkey00> fyrestrtr: how do i do that
[09:23] <ladydoor> bengoodger: you mean security in apt-get?
[09:23] <viator> i see some .debs
[09:23] <viator> for breezy
[09:23] <kads> qmake and make of a file gives me an error
[09:23] <viator> debian
[09:23] <viator> theyll prolly work
 do they not all conform to some standard i mean they cant be that wildly different
[09:23] <bengoodger> ladydoor, yes
[09:23] <vapermonkey00> fyrestrtr: i am new to all of this
[09:23] <fyrestrtr> Paddy_EIRE: you'd be surprised :)
[09:23] <bengoodger> I want to set up a school network of fat clients
[09:23] <exs> viator:  how do you mean, "they will probably work" when you just said they don't work
[09:23] <kads> uic: File generated with too recent version of Qt Designer (4.0 vs. 3.3.6)
[09:24] <fredl> fyrestrtr, heh this is bizarre! I created a new profile for firefox and it *still* does the blank page thing on clicking on a PDF file
[09:24] <bengoodger> the server will run an APT proxy
[09:24] <viator> i think banshee playsa lastfm streams
[09:24] <bengoodger> there's a ton of stuff designed to ensure the clients all do APT operations correctly
[09:24] <StoneNote> bengoodger, Creating a self-signed SSL certificate: Ubuntu http://www.tc.umn.edu/~brams006/selfsign_ubuntu.html
 LinkSyS WRT54G <-- Im gonna shop for this on your recommendation, are you sure about this
[09:25] <fyrestrtr> Paddy_EIRE: :)
[09:25] <fyrestrtr> Paddy_EIRE: you can't go wrong with linksys.
[09:25] <ladydoor> bengoodger: it's pretty secure, i think--everything has a gpg key
[09:25] <fyrestrtr> the model I mentioned, there is probably a newer version out.
[09:25] <bengoodger> but essentially my colleague has doubts about the injection-attack-resilience of such a setup, and wonders if APT could be fooled into installing a fake package
[09:25] <fyrestrtr> but what you want is a modem + router combo device.
[09:25] <ghagge> anyone that know how to install newer kernel on dapper drake?
[09:25] <fredl> fyrestrtr, I've gone wrong on linksys a few times already, most notably on wireless PCMCIA cards.
[09:26] <JoseStefan> i find all wireless products have issues as of late, not enough quality
 all broadband services bar cable are primarily the same arent they so talktalk or whichever service should be fine
[09:26] <vapermonkey00> i dont know how to remove a command line
[09:26] <fyrestrtr> fredl: mostly, its the fault of the card.
[09:26] <kads> I keep getting this error on qmake and make uic: File generated with too recent version of Qt Designer (4.0 vs. 3.3.6)
[09:26] <viator> ill make a deb
[09:26] <viator> and upload it somewhere
[09:26] <bengoodger> if someone connected the client to a computer running an APT proxy containing both fake certificates and fake packages
[09:26] <fyrestrtr> Paddy_EIRE: yes, the DSL is a standard, which is why the first thing I do, is junk the usb modem, and plug the phone line into my linksys -- login, setup my username and password, and off we go.
[09:27] <bengoodger> then could APT be fooled into installing one of the fake packages?
[09:27] <fredl> fyrestrtr, heh, the fault of the card? uuhhhhmmm. But Linksys *makes* those cards, right? :) Then again, I'm also experiencing problems with an aironet card that won't do 802.1x
[09:27] <fyrestrtr> fredl: although, I like linksys because I can get the linux firmware on it.
[09:27] <kode> Any one around knows about ati graphic problems?
[09:27] <bengoodger> ?
[09:27] <fredl> kode - hi, still having probs with your graphics board?
[09:27] <ladydoor> bengoodger: what fake packages?
[09:27] <kads> I keep getting this error on qmake and make uic: File generated with too recent version of Qt Designer (4.0 vs. 3.3.6)
[09:27] <bengoodger> fake packages.
 the talktalk modem is 30 quid im not a skin flint but that seems perfectly reasonable and they are made by Samsung
[09:28] <fredl> kode - didn't we get your card going yesterday then?
[09:28] <bengoodger> for instance, a deb of linux, modified to include a trojan
[09:28] <bengoodger> or a trojan-style init file
[09:28] <kode> Hey well i formated snese then it's installed right i beleave.. but trying to use Cedega and it says.....ok i just did the test again and it passed.
[09:28] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE: it all depends on the chipset and the architecture
[09:28] <fyrestrtr> bengoodger: that's why you verify sigs before you download, and you don't use third party repos.
[09:28] <kode> strange
[09:28] <ladydoor> bengoodger: i haven't had any problem with that...
[09:29] <foo> What package contains the "mail" program? apt-file returns too many results.
[09:29] <ladydoor> bengoodger: generally, your default sources.list contains valid listings
[09:29] <JoseStefan> bengoodger, the term "fake packages" can be confusing. It can be mistaken for "dummy packages", which are typical in the repositores
[09:29] <russ[] > so after i've installed all the stuff for my ati drivers, sudo depmod should return something about fglrx right?
[09:29] <kode> Failed again
[09:29] <bengoodger> I'm well aware of dummy packages
[09:29] <ladydoor> foo: why do you ask?
[09:29] <fyrestrtr> !ati > russ[] 
[09:29] <terry_> is konqueror capable of running java?
[09:29] <foo> ladydoor: Because I want to install it :)
[09:29] <foo> # mail
[09:29] <foo> -su: mail: command not found
[09:29] <kode> Ferdl: Your graphics card does not appear to be setup correctly. Please check the documentation for your Linux distribution and your graphics card drivers to ensure proper installation
[09:29] <bluefox83> there is absolutely no way to recover something deleted with rm -rf is there?
[09:29] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE: I would assume that if they are requiring that modem and that there will be that many users with it 70% get free broadband that a soultion will be sooner rather than later
[09:29] <ladydoor> foo: do "which mail"
[09:29] <apple-gunkies> Hi folks. Is there a way, on a low-ram system, to make the installer use a custom partition scheme without bringing up the GUI (Which automatically removes your swap partition first, and the whole thing freezes due to insufficient ram)?
[09:30] <Viper> Hi, I wonder if someone could point me in the right direction, my Amarok does not seem to play any music. I installed all possible engines and toggled the output plugins ! I am using Dapper
[09:30] <ladydoor> foo: did you see anything?
[09:30] <foo> ladydoor: hm, that returns nothing ... it only works if I have it installed :P
[09:30] <JoseStefan> apple-gunkies, are you using the desktop or alternate CD ?
[09:30] <apple-gunkies> desktop
[09:30] <eyequeue> apple-gunkies, use the alternate cd
[09:30] <ladydoor> foo: lol. try installing mailutils
[09:30] <fredl> fyrestrtr, apparently just making a new firefox profile doesn't reset all (and also faulty) settings. I just mv'ed ~/.mozilla and now the PDF thing is gone.
[09:30] <thybo> does skype exist on ubuntu?
ok i just dont want this to lead to me ending up back on windoze as my family use the net too so i need this to not take forever to setup.....do u think that I cant go wrong with LinkSyS....i am out a fortune this last while on equip that doesnt work with ubuntu!
[09:30] <JoseStefan> apple-gunkies, the alternate CD has less ram requirements
[09:30] <sid> Is there a link I can go to see the progress of edgy? And see what has been implemented etc
[09:30] <ladydoor> foo: sudo aptitude install mailutils
[09:30] <apple-gunkies> ok, thanks
[09:31] <foo> ladydoor: hm, I use apt-get. Is there a difference.
[09:31] <fyrestrtr> thybo: yes
[09:31] <jolt> Heh. has anyone actually had problems with the install cd for edgy.. Just not working right?
[09:31] <fyrestrtr> !skype > thybo
[09:31] <foo> ladydoor: well, there is.. but, why aptitude? Hm
[09:31] <Viper> Hi, I wonder if someone could point me in the right direction, my Amarok does not seem to play any music. I installed all possible engines and toggled the output plugins ! I am using Dapper
[09:31] <bengoodger> if the APT system is connecting to a proxy, then the proxy will contain the certificates and the packages... so if the computer was fooled into thinking that a different computer was the proxy server then one could replace the certificates and packages being served by the imposter server with ones designed to cause harm... an injection attack. yum is (somehow) resilient to it, but is APT? my colleague doubts it.
[09:31] <JoseStefan> sid, search the wiki for EdgyEft
[09:31] <thybo> thank you frestrtr
[09:31] <thybo> what a nickname :d
[09:31] <jolt> The iso md5'ed right, the install went ok, but the kernel is hosed
[09:31] <JoseStefan> !edgy > JoseStefan
[09:32] <ladydoor> foo: aptitude is better with dependencies. if a program wants 20 other packages to be installed, but later you uninstall that package, aptitude will know to uninstall any of its dependencies that are no longer used
[09:32] <JoseStefan> !edgy > sid
[09:32] <Howitzer> fyrestrtr, i followed this guide on ubuntuforums on how to "remove" the KDE entries from the gnome menu
[09:32] <ladydoor> foo: whereas apt-get will not
[09:32] <Howitzer> crap
[09:32] <Howitzer> srry
[09:32] <ladydoor> foo: plus, it has a neater name
[09:32] <Howitzer> Is there a way to recreate all .desktop files in /usr/share/applications ? (or at least roll them back to original state) since i kind of screwed around and deleted the contents of all those .desktop files
[09:32] <Viper> Anyone have amarok problems on Gnome before ? or, could you suggest and alternate music playing package ?
[09:32] <ladydoor> Viper: pytone!
[09:32] <Howitzer> try QuodLibet
 cheers for the advice mate
[09:33] <ladydoor> foo: and mail is in mailutils
[09:33] <foo> ladydoor: *sweet* I've had this issue before. Does it work the same as apt-get basically? (aptitude remove, install, --purge.. )
[09:33] <Viper> ladydoor : looking into it right now ....
[09:33] <ladydoor> foo: yup!
[09:33] <bengoodger> If the APT system on a client computer is connecting to a proxy, then the proxy will contain the certificates and the packages in its role as a mirror of the repos... so if the computer was fooled into thinking that a different computer was the proxy server then one could replace the certificates and packages being served by the imposter server with ones designed to cause harm... an injection attack. yum is (somehow) resi
[09:33] <bengoodger> lient to it, but is APT?
[09:33] <foo> ladydoor: woohoo! Thanks for making it convenient guys!
[09:33] <ladydoor> foo: and if you just do *sudo aptitude* it will give you a nice console gui
[09:33] <Howitzer> viper, it has all the features Amarok has in means of python plugins and it can hold a gigantic music library without any hiccups!
[09:33] <ladydoor> foo: np!
[09:33] <StoneNote> bengoodger, so you're talking about setting up apt-proxy and altering local machines source-list as in this example http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=67022  and wondering if it's secure?
[09:33] <jolt> Id like to see the option in the ubuntu installer to allow for Grub in its own partition
[09:33] <Howitzer> ladydoor, i wouldn't call aptitude a nice GUI :(
[09:33] <foo> ladydoor: Nice
[09:33] <bengoodger> ladydoor: aptitude's console is hardly nice.
[09:33] <Viper> Howitzer : That is absolutely stellar mate .....
[09:33] <ladydoor> Howitzer: i like it better than synaptic...
[09:34] <Howitzer> hmm
[09:34] <fyrestrtr> jolt: grub installs on the mbr
[09:34] <foo> ladydoor: hm, maybe I should make a symlink from apt-get to aptitude, it's habit. hehe.
[09:34] <bengoodger> StoneNote: yeah, more or less
[09:34] <russ[] > an ATI Radeon Mobility M6 LY isn't compatable with the linux ati drivers huh?
[09:34] <ladydoor> Howitzer: because synaptic does not play nice with using only the keybinding
[09:34] <Howitzer> i just use my trusty old apt ;)
[09:34] <fyrestrtr> jolt: but you are welcome to create a partition and mount it at /boot
[09:34] <Howitzer> oh
[09:34] <ladydoor> foo: i don't think that's a good idea...sorry
[09:34] <fredl> oh my goodness... when you move your ~/.mozilla and start up firefox it makes a whole new directory and *all* plugin stuff is gone too then. Hmm logical if you think about it but how do you get it back in there.. *ponder*
[09:34] <bengoodger> StoneNote: the proxy is only for speed and economy of bandwidth
[09:34] <javb> Hi, i am emulatin WinXP under my Ubuntu Dapper. It detects the LAN Card. But i wont do anything, i mean, i set all the ip address and stuff.. does it have to have the same ip as the ubuntu, and the same gate way? ooor different ip and the local linux as gate way? please, help.
 (of course, i am using qem
[09:34] <ladydoor> foo: now, maybe if first you did this:
[09:34] <foo> ladydoor: it's ok. hm, ok. I guess other programs can call on apt-get or something
[09:34] <fyrestrtr> fredl: I think the default plugins are in /usr/share/something/
[09:34] <Howitzer> fredl, cp -r ~/.trash/.mozilla ~/.mozilla
[09:35] <Howitzer> i think at least
[09:35] <JoseStefan> brb
[09:35] <ladydoor> foo: actually, nm, i just wouldn't mess with changing apt-get...
[09:35] <linuxboy> under 'Places' I have 'Home Folder' and 'Desktop' and another random folder, how do i get rid of it in that list?
[09:35] <StoneNote> bengoodger, yeah I got that. that would be dependant on how secure your apt-proxy is locally imo.  if someone can take over a router and install their own copy of apt-proxy then you're hosed. but if they own your router you are already hosed and there are easier ways  to do nefarious things.
[09:35] <bengoodger> StoneNote: this is for a 350-computer school network which needs utmost protection against the inmates..
[09:35] <Pulshion> how to start a png in terminal?
[09:35] <sid> If I install dapper for a relative..will it automatically update his system? or is there a way to do that. Like windows update.
[09:35] <fyrestrtr> Pulshion: by start you mean view?
[09:35] <ladydoor> linuxboy: try right-clicking and see what comes up. what's the random folder?
[09:35] <Pulshion> fyrestrtr -- yea, sorry
[09:35] <fredl> fyrestrtr, only default plugin in there right now is 'SPL' (?)
[09:36] <StoneNote> bengoodger, ahhh. yeah your local network is always udner attack. bad as a college
[09:36] <StoneNote> from the inside
[09:36] <fredl> Howitzer, oh don't worry, I made a backup copy....
[09:36] <linuxboy> ladydoor: nothing happens. a dir in ~/downloads/
[09:36] <fyrestrtr> sid: when an update is available, an icon will show up. If you click it, it will ask for the password and update the system.
 2 last questions....if Im going to get the LinkSyS would now be a good idea to buy a wireless model if they have one?  and should this be straight forward to setup, which wireless pci card would be worth getting for near plug n play ready to go status
[09:36] <Howitzer> ooh
[09:36] <bengoodger> StoneNote: I'm talking about connecting the client directly to an imposter proxy
[09:36] <jolt> Yeah.. I ran into the lovely issue when installing edgy seizes GRUB..,. so if you wipe the partition running edgy, Grub acts stupid and wont boot the primary partition containing Dapper
[09:36] <fredl> Howitzer, but the backup copy somehow contains a bug/feature that I can't figure out right away
[09:36] <ladydoor> linuxboy: ok, try opening nautilus and then try right-clicking it
[09:36] <jolt> I miss the ibm bootloader
[09:36] <Howitzer> you say 'backup copy', is that 1 file?
[09:36] <sid> fyrestrtr: Is there an easy(gui) was to make it automatic?
[09:37] <bengoodger> StoneNote: this would, theoretically, permit the person running the imposter proxy to screw with the packages being received by the client
[09:37] <ladydoor> !easy
[09:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about easy - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:37] <fyrestrtr> Paddy_EIRE: depends on the device you are connecting from. Best to check with !wifi first to see what is the support status. fwiw, Intel based cards work great :)
[09:37] <jolt> !wifi
[09:37] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[09:37] <Howitzer> if not, you can copy and remove every file to check which file/plugin is the bugged one
[09:37] <Howitzer> !.desktop
[09:37] <StoneNote> bengoodger, yeah. the only thing you'd know for sure in the instance of a fake apt-proxy would be it was on the wrong mac address
[09:37] <ubotu> The available desktop environments in Ubuntu are Gnome (ubuntu-desktop), KDE (kubuntu-desktop), XCFE (xubuntu-desktop), IceWM, Fluxbox, WindowMaker (wmaker), FVWM  and others.
[09:37] <fyrestrtr> sid: it is gui already. You don't do anything, it will notify you, you *click* on an icon, type in a password, and click 'Apply' that's it :)
[09:37] <bengoodger> StoneNote: according to my colleague yum is resilient to this, somehow
[09:37] <fredl> Howitzer, that's a good plan!
[09:37] <Pulshion> fyrestrtr -- so, do you know how to do it?
[09:38] <Howitzer> :)
[09:38] <bengoodger> StoneNote: but can APT be trained only to accept connection to a specific MAC?
[09:38] <sid> fyrestrtr: I understand that is an easy task for some people. But my relative won't know to do this. She is 75. Even if I show her she won't remember.
[09:38] <StoneNote> bengoodger, did he explain why yum was ok and apt was not?
[09:38] <Howitzer> always locate the bug before trying to fix it ;)
[09:38] <fyrestrtr> Pulshion: well, if you want to view images on the console, and you don't have X installed, then you need to enable framebuffer, and then use something like xv to view the images.
[09:38] <StoneNote> bengoodger, I don't think so. plus since it's on the local machiine I wouldn't trust it
[09:38] <pixelmonkey> does anyone know the easy way to change metacity's double-click titlebar state to be "shading" rather than "maximizing"
[09:39] <bengoodger> StoneNote: do you have a yahoo, google talk or msn IM acc?
[09:39] <fyrestrtr> sid: well, you can always remote login to her pc and do it for her, but to be honest, it really is quite easy.
[09:39] <ladydoor> sid: sometimes, though, it can be extremely *difficult* to describe the steps required (click here, no here! ok, now type here and click here) to use a gui app--especially since, in many cases, one or two copied-and-pasted commands will do the same thing
[09:39] <bengoodger> I would like to talk privately
[09:39] <StoneNote> bengoodger, nope, I don't use 'em
[09:39] <bengoodger> damn
[09:39] <ladydoor> bengoodger: why don't you just /msg this person?
[09:39] <david__> is there a way to revert my install to how it was when I first installed ubuntu (get rid of all modifications I've made)?  Or is it easier to just reinstall.  I messed up some drivers and have unsuccessfully tried to undo them for the past 2 weeks.

[09:49] <ShoeUnited> Intel board.
[09:50] <jolt> or set the video to AGP/PCI if that option is there

[09:55] <marek> err
[09:55] <Ktron> This is my sources.list < http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21827 > it can't find the package 'flashplugin-nonfree' which, according to the bot here and everything I can find, is in the multiverse
[09:55] <marek> ladydoor, okay :] 
[09:55] <Ktron> !flashplugin-nonfree
[09:55] <ladydoor> marek: sweet
[09:55] <eyequeue> exs, the author has not made the specs public, write them if interested
[09:55] <JoseStefan> exs, that should be covered in the wiki
[09:55] <ladydoor> marek: google for the specific name of your device, plus the word "linux", to see whether it's supported
[09:55] <vapermonkey00> fyrestrtr: i have been using for maby one week
[09:55] <exs> eyequeue:  im no linux code guru
 this one is wired i could settle for this in the mean time NET-LS-BEFVP41-U
[09:55] <fyrestrtr> Paddy_EIRE: http://www.aria.co.uk/ProductInfoComm.asp?ID=21402
[09:55] <marek> ladydoor, haha okay :P
[09:55] <ladydoor> marek: sorry, that's the best way
[09:56] <eyequeue> exs, you don't need to be to write microsoft
[09:56] <fyrestrtr> Paddy_EIRE: do you want wireless? Or is wired-only okay for you?
[09:56] <Ktron> Can anyone help me figure out why there are packages missing from synaptic/apt?
[09:56] <exs> eyequeue:  I don't even code
[09:56] <fyrestrtr> vapermonkey00: just a minute
[09:56] <eyequeue> !repos > Ktron
[09:56] <vapermonkey00> fyrestrtr: ok
[09:56] <eyequeue> exs, you seemed interested in ntfs writes, they are where to complain
[09:57] <exs> eyequeue:  not complaining... merly checking status. Paranoid?
[09:57] <Bonez56> morning all
[09:57] <mhinas> bon soir^^
i could get the wireless later just incase i run into trouble with setting up the card when i get one plus i am to buy a laptop shortly so i intend on running ubuntu on that aswell
[09:57] <JoseStefan> Ktron, did you do an update?
[09:57] <Ktron> eyequeue, I don't think the bot is working
[09:57] <marek> what does aptitude -P install do?
[09:57] <emilyrocks> hey i'm a bit confused by some docs - the first step is to install the firmware for my wireless card, but for some reason the directory it says to install it in /usr/lib/hotplug doesn't exist ... what am i doing wrong?
[09:57] <marek> that aptitude install doesnt?
[09:57] <fyrestrtr> Ktron: from a terminal, run sudo apt-get update then try sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[09:57] <eyequeue> exs, i think any closed protocols are worth complaint
[09:58] <Rondom> exs: in summer 2007 there will be write support for ntfs
[09:58] <JoseStefan> ubotu, hi
[09:58] <eyequeue> !ubotu
[09:58] <ladydoor> !ubuto
[09:58] <JoseStefan> ubotu has issues
[09:58] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to $chan!
[09:58] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage
[09:58] <exs> eyequeue:  if the guys got ntfs write support, and he's done it... can't another guy make it, and then release to public?
[09:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuto - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:58] <Ktron> JoseStefan, just those two, couldn't find the package
[09:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about has issues - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:58] <mhinas> hm, just installed ubuntu...
[09:59] <Rondom> exs: IIRC apple hired a dev of linux-ntfs and he may release the source in summer 2007
[09:59] <fyrestrtr> Paddy_EIRE: if your are purchasing a laptop, I highly recommend Thinkpads (T series, R series are too bulky and on the low end, Z series are too much 'fluff' for my tastes). Get one with the Intel wireless card and you won't be dissapointed with hardware support.
[09:59] <jstarcher> hey guys
[09:59] <eyequeue> exs, i don't think you're considering ms and their lawyers
[09:59] <Bonez56> hi jstarcher
[09:59] <jstarcher> is there any way I can remove firefox without removing Ubuntu-Desktop and all that
[09:59] <exs> Rondom:  ok
[09:59] <mhinas> is there any IDE for C++ included?
 i had actually been thinking on an IBM thinkpad so nice one
[09:59] <eyequeue> jstarcher, ubuntu-desktop is only a meta-package, remove it too
[09:59] <fyrestrtr> Paddy_EIRE: I am on a T43 :)
[10:00] <bengoodger> StoneNote: are you getting the conversation slowly?
[10:00] <mhinas> or have got to do allt the work bi VI?
[10:00] <bengoodger> exs, ntfs write is nearly reliable
[10:00] <bengoodger> eyequeue: everyone loves lawyers.
[10:00] <bengoodger> mhinas, yep
[10:00] <bengoodger> there's eclipse
[10:00] <bengoodger> and some others
[10:00] <corruptkode> jstarcher: Synaptic
[10:00] <bengoodger> look on google for a good one and check if it's ubuntuable
[10:00] <jstarcher> eyequeue, thanks
 t-series it is then
[10:00] <Phoul> Hello
[10:00] <mhinas> thx
[10:00] <eyequeue> jstarcher, np
[10:00] <exs> bengoodger: where do I get this ntfs write?
[10:00] <bengoodger> hi Phoul
[10:00] <StoneNote> bengoodger, yeah it's loading slow. probably putting it in pastebin would have been more optimal
[10:00] <Phoul> Anyone else havin the problem of installin kde and gettin the error brokenpackage
[10:00] <fyrestrtr> vapermonkey00: hit alt+f2, type gedit /etc/apt/sources.list -- then, copy everything, go to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org and paste it there with your nick, then copy and paste the url in here.
[10:00] <jstarcher> corruptkode, yeah, that's where it said it would remove ubuntu-dektop too :-P
[10:00] <mhinas> how can i install this?
[10:00] <JoseStefan> exs, did you try searching the Wiki ?
[10:00] <mhinas> apt-get?
[10:00] <corruptkode> Ah
[10:00] <bengoodger> StoneNote: sorry..
[10:00] <Bonez56> i set up ubuntu 6.06.1 on a friends pc, and apparently every time they try and visit a web based email site it comes up saying "You must installed Mozilla Security Manager" - anyone know why this wasn't installed by default?
[10:00] <manawyddan> mihnas: did you ever tried Anjuta?
[10:00] <exs> JoseStefan:  which wiki would that be?
[10:00] <StoneNote> bengoodger, not a big deal
[10:00] <mhinas> nop
[10:00] <bengoodger> StoneNote: I put it in pastebin as well
[10:00] <fyrestrtr> Paddy_EIRE: there is a great list of supported think pads at the ubuntu hardware wiki (even one that I wrote) :)
[10:01] <JoseStefan> exs, wiki.ubuntu.com
[10:01] <exs> JoseStefan:  ok thanks
[10:01] <Dr_Willis> Bonez56,  what email site is this? ive never heard of that befor.
[10:01] <bengoodger> StoneNote: I thought text would be transferred a little faster than this
[10:01] <fyrestrtr> !enter > bengoodger
[10:01] <ladydoor> Bonez56: maybe use a client?
[10:01] <manawyddan> I find it very good.
 thanks man, very valued advice :)
[10:01] <Bonez56> Dr_Willis: hotmail, https://myemail.westnet.com.au, gmail
[10:01] <eyequeue> Bonez56, firefox is the default browser, the think you speak of is for https with mozilla
[10:01] <Phoul> anyone else havin the problem of kde not wanting to install
[10:01] <Phoul> depends not going to be installed and whatnot
[10:01] <FRET> fyrestrtr, I'm on a R52 actually, and it's ok, too. If one doesn't have the money for the T-series, this one is great.
[10:01] <Bonez56> eyequeue: this is using swiftfox which was installed via automatix... i've used automatix a number of times
[10:01] <Ktron> eyequeue, I think that http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21827 should be a good sources.list , I think there must be a different problem
[10:01] <fyrestrtr> Paddy_EIRE: also worth noting, is the ThinkWiki (a separate site all about running linux on thinkpads)
[10:01] <eyequeue> Bonez56, firefox does not have a limitation for https
[10:01] <Dr_Willis> Bonez56,  i use gmail and hotmail all the time. no hassles
[10:02] <bengoodger> fyrestrtr: I'm not using the enter key as punctuation, I'm using it to send messages
[10:02] <Ktron> Like, maybe I need more keys?
[10:02] <Phoul> Dr_Willis, any ideas?
[10:02] <mhinas> i can't find neither anjuta nor eclipse...
[10:02] <Bonez56> Dr_Willis: so do I on my PC, which is why it's really strange that it doesn't work on this new install
[10:02] <jstarcher> ahhh I love it. Firefox 2.0 B2 is very nice!!!!
[10:02] <Phoul> from past experience your pretty knowlageable i think :P
[10:02] <manawyddan> you can edit c/c++ c# python Java perl and shell scripts with it.
[10:02] <eyequeue> Bonez56, automatix is not supported by ubuntu, that must be the issue
 nice one your saving me alot of hair...lol
[10:02] <Bonez56> Dr_Willis: apt-cache shows a package called mozilla-psm so i'll give that a shot... just wondered why it wasn't installed by default... weeeird.
[10:02] <Phoul> Dr_Willis, can i pm i cant keep up with the chat
[10:02] <Phoul> Please
[10:02] <fyrestrtr> FRET: the 52 is okay, but the 50 are just the pits (we have a few at the office). I love the T. Very much my kind of machine. I really want to get that new T60 :)
[10:02] <bengoodger> StoneNote: have you got the whole thing yet?
[10:02] <ladydoor> say, does anybody know whether there's a gpg key that i could add for wine? it's always annoying having go through the whole thing with it not being properly identified
[10:03] <nzk> How do I copy a file to /usr/lib
[10:03] <Dr_Willis> Phoul,  i dont even know what your problem is? :P i just sat down at my desk.. lol
[10:03] <ladydoor> nzk: why do you need to do that?
[10:03] <bengoodger> nzk, sudo cp file /usr/lib
[10:03] <Phoul> Dr_Willis, im having some package issues
[10:03] <corruptkode> nzk: pb
[10:03] <eyequeue> !sdo > nzk
[10:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sdo - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:03] <eyequeue> !sudo > nzk
[10:03] <corruptkode> or that
[10:03] <Phoul> Lots of packages are tellin me they are broken due to deps
[10:03] <nzk> I did that
[10:03] <corruptkode> lol
[10:03] <||arifaX> Hi! mounting sshfs with fstab does not work at boot because in /etc/init.d/mountall.sh the command "mount -av ..." is used. when changing it to "mount -a -v" mounting sshfs works. any ideas why? maybe this is a bug. I am currently on breezy but I think dapper is the same
[10:03] <nzk> But it isnt there
[10:03] <jstarcher> anyone know why the fonts are different when I went from Firefox 1.5.0.5 to 2.0 B2?
[10:03] <ladydoor> nzk: why do you need to copy a file to /usr/lib?
[10:03] <Dr_Willis> Phoul,  im not an apt expert. :)   could be ya servers are down. or ya need to apt-get update again, or change servers.
[10:03] <jstarcher> Did it unistall some font package
[10:04] <nzk> To install YamiPod
[10:04] <Phoul> Dr_Willis, ummmm
[10:04] <Phoul> Dr_Willis, i just did a update
[10:04] <eyequeue> nzk, btw, it is NOT advised that you write to anything other than /usr/local/*, the /usr/lib/ tree is reserved for the package manager
[10:04] <Phoul> and its not doin anythin different
[10:04] <ladydoor> nzk: from source?
[10:04] <Phoul> Dr_Willis, could you post your sources.list on pastebin?
[10:04] <nzk> The readme said to do it
[10:04] <StoneNote> bengoodger,  yeah I'm 3/4 done with it.
[10:04] <Dr_Willis> !easysource
[10:04] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[10:04] <bengoodger> StoneNote: excellent
[10:04] <Dr_Willis> thats what i use Phoul
[10:04] <Phoul> Dr_Willis, thats how i got mine too
[10:04] <ladydoor> nzk: oh. well, sudo cp should do the trick
[10:04] <bengoodger> StoneNote: apologies for the chaff
[10:04] <Phoul> I dont know whats wrong though
[10:05] <StoneNote> np
[10:05] <Pulshion> does anyone know any plugin sites for gdesklet plugins for launching bars?
[10:05] <manawyddan> mihnas: did you edit the file sources.list?
[10:05] <JoseStefan> i use "Software Properties"
[10:05] <eyequeue> nzk, be aware that breakage is not ubuntu's responsibility if you do things of that sort
[10:05] <mhinas> nope
[10:05] <mhinas> didn't edit anything
[10:06] <nzk> Then I need a good ipod ripper!
[10:06] <gobba> my screen flickers when the computer loads.. anyone knows how to get rid of it?
[10:06] <manawyddan> mhinas: you might need to do so in order to be able to fetch soft from other repositories.
 the IBM at the top of this site http://www.studentcomputers.co.uk/packard-bell-laptops/cheap-laptops-uk.htm
[10:06] <Pulshion> does anyone know any plugin sites for gdesklet plugins for launching bars?
[10:07] <bengoodger> oh, incidentally. when I upgraded from breezy to dapper it put this nice new usplash thing in which runs at 1280x1024x32 and which is very nice. however, when I cocked up dapper by trying to upgrade to breezy, I had to reinstall dapper... and now I've got all 640x480 before X, which is ugly. does anyone know what file to edit to fix this?
[10:07] <vapermonkey00> fyrestrtr: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21829
[10:07] <vapermonkey00> fyrestrtr: is that what u wanted

[10:10] <vapermonkey00> fyrestrtr: it wont let me save
[10:10] <device_> alacarte doesn't allow to delete
[10:10] <jbroome> nikosapi: right click/unmount
[10:10] <manawyddan> i don't think so
[10:10] <eyequeue> device_, odd, it certainly does here

 im looking for somethin around the 500 quid mark

[10:16] <Seveas> !universe > mhinas
[10:16] <fyrestrtr> exs: to update the kernel, sudo apt-get install linux-686 (if you are running a 386 kernel)
[10:16] <Bonez56> exs: sudo apt-get install linux-86 ?
[10:16] <Renan_s2> jstarcher: type 'disown'
[10:16] <Kerr> !sis
[10:16] <Bonez56> *686
[10:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sis - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:16] <jstarcher> Renan_s2, rgr that, thanks
[10:16] <JoseStefan> exs, not much, i just like to be updated whenever i can, even if it just a placebo effect
[10:16] <exs> fyrestrtr:  I'm using 32bit processor.. ubuntu 32bit
[10:16] <JoseStefan> exs, what is your processor?
[10:17] <exs> intel
[10:17] <fyrestrtr> exs: is it atleast a P4?
[10:17] <exs> laptop one
[10:17] <jbroome> that narrows it down
[10:17] <JoseStefan> exs, intel ____ ?
[10:17] <exs> don't know
[10:17] <Bonez56> exs Pentium M?
[10:17] <flubs> What's the default install directory for wine?
[10:17] <exs> how do I tell
[10:17] <fyrestrtr> exs: centrino?
[10:17] <eyequeue> JoseStefan, the dapper kernels have any appropriate backports added to them, no reason to mess your system up with other kernels ;)
[10:17] <exs> fyrestrtr:  let me check
[10:17] <Bonez56> cat /proc/cpu
[10:17] <Dr_Willis> flubs,  you mean the dir it isntalls  setup.exe stuff to?
[10:17] <ladydoor> flubs: /usr/bin/wine is the location of the wine binary
[10:17] <Bonez56> cat /proc/cpuinfop
[10:17] <exs> Intel Celeron M Processor 360
[10:17] <flubs> Dr_willis: Yeah
[10:18] <Bonez56> exs: sudo apt-get install linux-686 then reboot
[10:18] <mhinas> manawyddan did that
[10:18] <JoseStefan> eyequeue, i limit mysqlf to dapper packages, but i am considering upgrading to edgy when it reaches at least knot 3
[10:18] <exs> Bonez56:  does it take long?
[10:18] <flubs> ladydoor: not what i meant, but also usefull, thanks
[10:18] <mhinas> sigh
[10:18] <Bonez56> exs: should be about 80mb download
[10:18] <Dr_Willis> look in .wine it puts a fake widows directory there
[10:18] <eyequeue> JoseStefan, yeah, that's probably a "safe-ish" timeframe, if you're fluent ;)
[10:18] <ladydoor> flubs: oh. sorry
[10:18] <Dr_Willis> :)
[10:18] <mhinas> 10billion packages
[10:18] <mhinas> :-)
[10:18] <Bonez56> exs: should not take very long if you are on broadband
[10:18] <jstarcher> Renan_s2: huh? Didn't work unless I'm not doing it right. Do you do it like 'disown firefox' or what?
[10:18] <mhinas> *scroll*
[10:18] <fyrestrtr> exs: lshw | grep product | grep processor
[10:18] <russ[] > My fglrx drivers install fine, but when I replace it with the "ati" driver in xorg.conf x crashes with "no screens found"
[10:18] <exs> Bonez56:  it won't f*** ** my ubuntu will it?
[10:18] <manawyddan> did you uncomment all the lines wich looked like this: deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper universe ?
[10:19] <JoseStefan> exs. do a sudo apt-get update first. Alternativly use Synapttics for everything
[10:19] <exs> JoseStefan:  everything is up to date already
[10:19] <Bonez56> exs: no, it adds a 686 kernel to the grub boot loader, if you have problems you can always choose the 386 kernel to boot
[10:19] <exs> except kernel
[10:19] <JoseStefan> exs. on boot, you will have multiple kernel options
[10:19] <RvGaTe> what are the minimum system requirements for ubuntu ?
[10:19] <manawyddan> mhinas: save the file and run apt-get update
[10:19] <exs> JoseStefan:  well, that sucks a bit
[10:19] <mhinas> ok...
[10:19] <Dr_Willis> RvGaTe,  very modest.. :P
[10:19] <jstarcher> how can I run an app from the CL and leave it running when I close the shell? I thought you just added & after but it won't work
[10:19] <Bonez56> exs: i've installed linux-686 on at least 5 ubuntu installs, including laptops and never, ever had a problem
[10:19] <mhinas> thx, manawyddan
[10:20] <Dr_Willis> RvGaTe,  ive ran it on a Pent 1- 100 Laptop. :)
[10:20] <JoseStefan> exs. on boot, by default it has a 10 second timer and picks the latest one auto
[10:20] <fyrestrtr> RvGaTe: 256 MB RAM, 20 GB HDD, VGA card, mouse and keyboard, cdrom.
[10:20] <exs> JoseStefan:  yeah.. was just annoyed by the fact that it adds a selection
[10:20] <manawyddan> mhinas: see if you can see the soft that your tring to get.
[10:20] <jstarcher> join ##linux
[10:20] <manawyddan> mhinas: you're welcome!
[10:20] <ladydoor> what're the benefits of using linux-686
[10:20] <ladydoor> ?
[10:20] <mhinas> :-)
[10:20] <jstarcher> faster
[10:20] <jstarcher> isn't it?
[10:20] <Dr_Willis> ladydoor,  its more leet. :P
[10:20] <Bonez56> exs: once you know it works, then you can edit menu.lst and remove the 386 kernel if you wish
[10:21] <jbroome> it's 300 times better than 386
[10:21] <fyrestrtr> ladydoor: for one, speed, two -- hyperthreading support :)
[10:21] <ladydoor> Dr_Willis: lol
[10:21] <JoseStefan> exs. you can remove older kernels once you are sure the newer ones are working perfectly, but always keep the default kernel from the day of install
[10:21] <Dr_Willis> its supposed to be faster.. but ive never noticed.
[10:21] <exs> Bonez56:  yeah, good idea
[10:21] <Phoul> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[10:21] <Phoul>   libpoppler1-qt: Depends: libpoppler1 (= 0.5.1-0ubuntu7) but 0.5.3-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
[10:21] <Phoul> E: Broken packages
[10:21] <ladydoor> fyrestrtr: aren't there fewer packages for it, though?
[10:21] <Phoul> Any ideas?
[10:21] <fyrestrtr> ladydoor: if you kernel doesn't support hyperthreading, you could throw the entire repo server at it, its not going to help :)
[10:21] <JoseStefan> exs. you can both edit the menu.lst or just remove the older kernel packages
[10:21] <Telarian02> Hello all, I'm a linux newbie and I'm moving alot of files from one computer to another with different users and when i use chown to change owner of a directory it changes the ownwership of the directory but not the contents....is there an arguement or something I'm doing wrong?
[10:22] <ladydoor> fyrestrtr: eh?
[10:22] <jbroome> Telarian02: -R for the whole dir
[10:22] <exs> Would it allow me to update it if it's the same version?.. because I'm sure I have the 2.6-15 version already
[10:22] <Telarian02> thanks alot
[10:22] <fyrestrtr> Telarian02: chown -R user:group /some/directory
[10:22] <JoseStefan> exs. there should be a performance boost when moving to a kernel more specific to your CPU, the default 386 kernel is pretty generic
[10:22] <fyrestrtr> ladydoor: no, you are confusing 686 with 64 bit
[10:22] <exs> JoseStefan:  ok
[10:22] <ladydoor> fyrestrtr: aha!
[10:23] <JoseStefan> exs. but always keep the default 386 kernel which came on the CD, this is incase you have to go back for whatever reason
[10:23] <^cyberbird^> is the anyway to check the ubuntu 6.06 installation that something wrong or not?
[10:23] <exs> I was wondering why ubuntu seems slow
[10:23] <ladydoor> fyrestrtr: how can i tell if i'm using 386 or 686, and how would i update to 686? would i need to update all my packages?
[10:23] <RvGaTe> Dr_Willis, fyrestrtr, asking becouse im having troubles with a 1ghz laptop... need to wait 4 minutes (not kidding) to open up the partition manager just to install it...
[10:23] <bbrazil> exs: the difference will be pretty small
[10:23] <exs> bbrazil:  oh
[10:23] <JoseStefan> ladydoor, uname -a
[10:23] <Dr_Willis> RvGaTe,  thats a little odd.. you proberly want to use the alternative isntall cd. to use a text based installer.
[10:24] <fyrestrtr> ladydoor: to tell, type uname -r -- to upgrade, sudo apt-get install linux-686 -- you only need to update packages for modules (like ati/nvidia drivers, etc)
[10:24] <bbrazil> exs: unless you're doing a lot of kernel-heavy stuff
[10:24] <Dr_Willis> RvGaTe,  the live cd - will be very very slow.
[10:24] <fyrestrtr> RvGaTe: how much ram?
[10:24] <bbrazil> exs: how much RAM do you have?
[10:24] <exs> bbrazil:  512
[10:24] <Phoul> Dr_Willis, could i ask you somethin in pm please i seriously can not follow this room
[10:24] <Dr_Willis> that is a uber-tiny system.
[10:24] <bbrazil> exs: should be plenty
[10:24] <Dr_Willis> Phoul,  sure...
[10:24] <exs> ok
[10:24] <RvGaTe> fyrestrtr, dont know, cant check atm
[10:24] <^cyberbird^> my  applications are crashing and ubuntu is bahaving strang, is there anyways to check whats wrong?
[10:24] <JoseStefan> ladydoor, exs: this command should be better: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install linux-686
[10:24] <ladydoor> fyrestrtr: JoseStefan:  sweet!
[10:25] <nox-Hand> I get a very ugly error in make xconfig with my new kernel thing
[10:25] <nox-Hand> Could someone help?
[10:25] <ladydoor> JoseStefan: will that take care of drivers as well?
[10:25] <nox-Hand> http://paste.lisp.org/display/24831
[10:25] <RvGaTe> Dr_Willis, is there any other methods ?
[10:25] <RvGaTe> *are
[10:25] <JoseStefan> ladydoor: yes, linus-686 includes both the image and the restricted package
[10:25] <Dr_Willis> RvGaTe,  the alterantive cd + text install  or live cd.. thats about it. :)
[10:25] <JoseStefan> linux*
[10:25] <exs> brb
[10:25] <ladydoor> JoseStefan: shiny...well, here goes nothing!
[10:25] <fyrestrtr> ladydoor: you'll need to reboot with your new kernel, then install the new headers (sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`) then recompile/rebuild your binary drivers.
[10:25] <RvGaTe> Dr_Willis, guess i should've gone with the text install :P
[10:26] <Bonez56> is there any way to install ubuntu without having to wait 10 minutes for the live-cd to boot up just so I can click "install" ont he desktop?
[10:26] <ladydoor> fyrestrtr: oh yeah?
[10:26] <jbroome> Bonez56: use the alternate cd
[10:26] <JoseStefan> ladydoor, you can always go back to any older kernel, until the day you remove it manually
[10:26] <ladydoor> JoseStefan: good point
[10:26] <Jamminpotato> how can i get the best possible drivers for my video card in linux?
[10:26] <erUSUL> !alternate > Bonez56
[10:26] <eyequeue> Bonez56, sure, use the alternate cd rather than the live cd
[10:26] <meathead_> sudo: cannot get working directory
[10:26] <fyrestrtr> ladydoor: thats only if you use binary drivers, if you don't then no need.
[10:26] <earth|afk> could anybody help me set up ubuntu on my pc? right now i am having problems with my hdd partitions ... PM me please
[10:26] <meathead_> what does that mea?
[10:26] <Bonez56> cool thanks guys
[10:26] <keknehv> I recently switched my mouse from usb to ps2, is there a specific command to reconfigure the pointing device?
[10:26] <ladydoor> fyrestrtr: oh, good...i don't, unless they're the defaults
[10:26] <fyrestrtr> Bonez56: use the alternate install cd
[10:27] <fyrestrtr> nox-Hand: you want make menuconfig
[10:27] <erUSUL> keknehv: it should just work (TM) i switch the other way around and didn't have to reconfigure
[10:27] <nox-Hand> fyrestrtr, same error, so no matter
[10:28] <lhds> since i first installed, i autopartitionned my hdd but it turned out that the 2.53gega was allocated to the swap file knowing that it never uses more than 400 mb... is there a way to take some space from the swap and add them back to the other partition?
[10:28] <fyrestrtr> nox-Hand: what exactly is the error you get with make menuconfig ?
[10:28] <{K}Lubby> can someone tell me how to use wine to install age of empires 2?
[10:28] <ubunturullez> is there such thing as an ethernet sharer of kvm swith? Plz reply
[10:28] <nox-Hand> fyrestrtr, same as in make xconfig
[10:28] <meathead_> what does this mean? what does that mea?
[10:28] <fyrestrtr> {K}Lubby: check http://appdb.winehq.org
[10:28] <meathead_> lkjasdljasldf
[10:28] <meathead_> what does this mean? sudo: cannot get working directory
[10:28] <{K}Lubby> thanks
[10:28] <fyrestrtr> nox-Hand: what kernel are you installing?
[10:29] <ladydoor> did you delete the directory you were in?
[10:29] <nox-Hand> fyrestrtr, 2.6.17
[10:29] <keknehv> erUSUL: I'm using xubuntu, but I assumed that it would simply autodetect it.
[10:29] <Viper> #emacs
[10:29] <fyrestrtr> ubunturullez: yes, there is kvm over ethernet.
[10:29] <bubinou> bonsoir
[10:29] <Bassy>  i've just finished installing jinzora, but when i upload various folders, they are'nt staying in tack (ie. some songs are going in dif. folders, etc.), i have some mp3's that are entire albums, not sure if that' the issure, or if it's a file/tag thing, has anyone experienced this?
 also, i moved a folder (after it was uploaded) and it's still present in jinzora?, how do you get jinzora's db updated? (any help/responses would be greatly appreciated)
[10:29] <fyrestrtr> nox-Hand: are you following the wiki?
[10:29] <ubunturullez> fyrestrtr: do yuo know where I could get one? bestbuy or sumthing?
[10:30] <bluefox83> is there a tutorial anywhere on getting transparency to work in gnome?
[10:30] <nox-Hand> fyrestrtr, a howto, but yeah
[10:30] <nandish> is it possible to load the installer files from a partition on the same drive you want to install to?
[10:30] <fyrestrtr> ubunturullez: google would be a good place to start.
[10:30] <nox-Hand> some guy in #kernel says I aint got the curses package, fyrestrtr
[10:30] <fyrestrtr> nox-Hand: which howto?
[10:30] <nox-Hand> How do I get it?

[10:30] <fyrestrtr> nox-Hand: first, read !kernel
[10:30] <{K}Lubby> fyrestrtr: that site lists the game as not working, is there any other program i could use to emulate it?
[10:30] <fyrestrtr> nox-Hand: before you start doing things the non-ubuntu wya.
[10:30] <flubs> Dr_willis: Thanks for the help, that's what I am looking for
[10:31] <fyrestrtr> {K}Lubby: you could try running it in a virtual machine.
[10:31] <Dimensions> hiii guys ... i want to use my k608i as GPRS modem ... can some one help me out and also what is the difference between using wvdial for it and gprs script ? pppd ?

[10:31] <nox-Hand> Anywho, I gotta go bed :/
[10:31] <nox-Hand> I will try tomorrow
[10:31] <fyrestrtr> !kernel
[10:31] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux'). You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[10:31] <keknehv> {K}Lubby: Try VMware or Parallels
[10:31] <{K}Lubby> fyrestrtr: where do i get a virtual machine?
[10:31] <Dr_Willis> !qemu
[10:31] <ubotu> qemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo
[10:31] <fyrestrtr> {K}Lubby: from the virtual machine fairy....
[10:31] <fyrestrtr> {K}Lubby: just kidding, see !vmware
[10:31] <m-lund> Anyone here tried to install nagios on Ubuntu?
[10:31] <{K}Lubby> !vmware

[10:37] <RvGaTe> Is the alternate installation cd just a text based install with the same features as the normal (desktop) one?

[10:46] <blocky> can somebody give me hand getting my epson printer set up thru USB
[10:46] <FlimFlamMan> {K}Lubby: VMWare is free, though you need to provide a copy of windows to run in it
[10:46] <nzk> How do I go on an MSIE-only site in firefox?
[10:46] <strangy> so that i don't have to mknod /dev/kqemu every time the os boots
[10:46] <{K}Lubby> flim: i dont think i know where any of my copies are :\
[10:46] <blocky> is the gnome printer applet the best way?
[10:46] <FlimFlamMan> beats me then
[10:46] <{K}Lubby> is there anything else that is free?
[10:47] <JoseStefan> brb
[10:47] <ladydoor> {K}Lubby: dosbox?
[10:47] <{K}Lubby> lady: does it work?
[10:47] <m0rfin> hi
[10:47] <ladydoor> i don't know. i know it works with old dos games
[10:47] <FlimFlamMan> how do i include stuff in /etc/profile such that it's not disturbed when /etc/profile gets updated via apt-get update?
[10:47] <m0rfin> can someone help me? i cant get XGl to work
[10:47] <emilyrocks> http://pastebin.com/777432 <-- this happens whe we try to run sh remove-old in the ieee source directory
[10:47] <{K}Lubby> oh, its not a dos game, its based off of activex i think
[10:47] <emilyrocks> any ideas as to why?
[10:47] <longwave> nzk: the "user agent switcher" for firefox will pretend to a website that you are using IE, but it may not display properly
[10:48] <jirihavelka> m0rfin: #ubuntu-xgl
[10:48] <azathoth> is there a good dock app for gnome yet?
[10:48] <ROCKSTEADY1964> I have a problem.I got a HP Pavilion made especially for win98.I'm not very smart when it comes to pc stuff.I've tried everything but I can't get sound & I get an error.Sound worked on windows.Can someone help,please?
[10:48] <jirihavelka> m0rfin: but i use xgl 2, that maybe i can help but i dont think :)
[10:48] <azathoth> ie. a stable one
[10:49] <HeXiOn> another question: what's the log file where I can get info after a X crash? and after a kernel crash (system hang)?
[10:49] <ladydoor> {K}Lubby: wine?
[10:49] <longwave> HeXiOn: /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/kern.log respectively
[10:49] <Galagonya> Sziasztok !
[10:49] <emilyrocks> http://pastebin.com/777432 <-- this happens whe we try to run sh remove-old in the ieee source directory
[10:49] <varean> Jo napot kivanok
[10:49] <HeXiOn> longwave: thank you
[10:50] <{K}Lubby> ladydoor: according to wine's site age of empires 2 won't run on it
[10:50] <HeXiOn> bye people :)
[10:50] <longwave> HeXiOn: beware if you have a kernel panic it may be such a bad crash that writing any logs to disk is impossible, so kern.log may not contain anything useful
[10:50] <varean> Have you tried looking at it on franks corner?
[10:50] <{K}Lubby> however, isn't there a winex one designed for activex games?
[10:50] <varean> Yes
[10:50] <nzk> longwave: it isnt working
[10:51] <{K}Lubby> varean: where do i get it?
[10:51] <nzk> Anyone know of any problems with Maple Story under wine?>
[10:51] <varean> Not sure, I think you have to buy it, or pay for a licencse
[10:51] <varean> try googling it
[10:51] <{K}Lubby> yeah you do have to pay :(
[10:51] <eyequeue> is anyone else experiencing xchat locking up gnome? :(
[10:51] <Varean> Thought so
[10:51] <nzk> ...
[10:51] <{K}Lubby> uggg... so much for linux stuff all being free :(
[10:52] <Varean> If you want a really good ActiveX/Game wine, try Cedega, but you have to pay, its worth it though
[10:52] <ladydoor> {K}Lubby: have you tried installing cedega from cvs?
[10:52] <ladydoor> {K}Lubby: i believe that if you get it from cvs it's free, maybe
[10:52] <{K}Lubby> what's cvs?
[10:52] <Varean> Doubt it
[10:52] <eyequeue> cvs (8) [cvs-pserver]  - The GNU Concurrent Versions System
[10:52] <eyequeue> cvs (1)              - Concurrent Versions System
[10:52] <eyequeue> cvs (5)              - Concurrent Versions System support files
[10:52] <Varean> Its where they release testing software
[10:53] <BluR> !info apache2
[10:53] <Varean> How can one get Cedega from CVS, id love to try it out
[10:53] <ubotu> apache2: next generation, scalable, extendable web server. In component main, is optional. Version 2.0.55-4ubuntu2.1 (dapper), package size 34 kB, installed size 80 kB
[10:53] <ladydoor> Varean: google it!
[10:53] <JoseStefan> i wonder if they will ever update apache to 2.0.59 in dapper
[10:54] <Varean> Cedega CVS is the new name for WineX
[10:54] <Doomdebah> hullo! i don't suppose i could get some help with installing programs and silliness could i?
[10:54] <Doomdebah> More or less a complete linux virgin.
[10:54] <eyequeue> how does 2.0.59 differ from 2.0.55?
[10:54] <Varean> Well, I have to go, talk to everyone later I guess.
[10:55] <Serfalyx> Doomdebah: What do you need?
[10:55] <bobziho> Hi
[10:55] <JoseStefan> eyequeue, many bug fixes since .55
[10:55] <Doomdebah> well for one, my account is set as admin.
[10:55] <emilyrocks>  /exit
[10:55] <eyequeue> JoseStefan, and those are not in -4ubuntu2.1?
[10:55] <Doomdebah> and i know my account password.. but for some reason i can't seem to figure out my admin password even though i never set one.
[10:55] <eyequeue> Doomdebah, there is none
[10:55] <JoseStefan> eyequeue, dont think so, by the release dates it looks like not

[10:56] <basemann> i need some help brainstorming.  I've got a laptop here with no cd drive that i'm trying to load up with dapper.
[10:56] <JoseStefan> eyequeue, same goes for PHP5 and MySQL
[10:56] <eyequeue> JoseStefan, um, release date of -4ubuntu2.1?
[10:56] <Doomdebah> well i went to install cedega, and it asked for my admin password o.O
[10:56] <Jack_Sparrow> basemann: usb flash
[10:56] <JoseStefan> eyequeue, release dates of the ubuntu packages vs upstream
[10:56] <Jack_Sparrow> basemann: If it will boot to it..
[10:56] <basemann> Jack_Sparrow:  too old to do a flash boot, and no PXE rom
[10:57] <Jack_Sparrow> basemann: rock......... hard place
[10:57] <basemann> i've pulled the drive and stuck it in a machine that has a CD drive, but i'm trying to figure out what i can install on the hd

[10:57] <Dimensions> can some one help me with GPRS mobile Modem connection ?
[10:57] <nyk2005> Hi! Where can I find a list or some tips on what wireless lan (PCI) card I should buy, so they will work easily with kernel support or some ubuntu support?
[10:57] <Doomdebah> I just need some time to adapt i suppose then, thats what i get for using windows all my life.

[10:58] <ubotu> For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[10:58] <krikke> i would like to resize a fat 32 in order to create open disk space, should i defragment the partition?
[10:58] <frfx> nyk2005: wait a second..i have that list somewhere..
[10:58] <Jack_Sparrow> krikke: that is a good idea
[10:58] <nyk2005> frfx: cool!
[10:58] <krikke> should i defragment other partitions too?
[10:58] <basemann> I'm thinking that if I load up ubuntu on the new machine and then swap drives... that that won't work
[10:58] <FRET> Doomdebah, and there is something special about admin-rights and the root-account in ubuntu
[10:59] <FRET> Doomdebah, just read a bit and take your time...it's quite easy to learn
[10:59] <Jack_Sparrow> krikke: it never hurts
[10:59] <eyequeue> krikke, only if the fs becomes fragmented, not an issue with ext3 etc
[10:59] <JoseStefan> eyequeue, i cant seem to find release dates @ apache.org, but i know for PHP5 things are going slow
[10:59] <krikke> ok th
[10:59] <krikke> thx
[10:59] <Bassy>  i've just finished installing jinzora, but when i upload various folders, they are'nt staying in tack (ie. some songs are going in dif. folders, etc.), i have some mp3's that are entire albums, not sure if that' the issure, or if it's a file/tag thing, has anyone experienced this?
 also, i moved a folder (after it was uploaded) and it's still present in jinzora?, how do you get jinzora's db updated? (any help/responses would be greatly appreciated)
[10:59] <frfx> nyk2005: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported is this list okay for you?
[10:59] <Jack_Sparrow> krikke: especially if you end up needing to resize your other partition assuming windows
[10:59] <Hail_Spacecake> does ubuntu come with ndiswrapper by default?
[11:00] <Dimensions> Jack_Sparrow: any idea abt GPRS modem connection with mobile phone ?
[11:00] <Doomdebah> Oi, it's like learning a new language for me. it's going to take a while.
[11:00] <basemann> so nobody has any idea.  damn.

[11:01] <ROCKSTEADY1964> i have a cd drive but ubuntu is not reconizing the sound card
[11:01] <frfx> Hail_Spacecake: i dont think so..
[11:01] <ladydoor> Hail_Spacecake: you need to install it. sudo aptitude install ndiswrapper
[11:01] <Hail_Spacecake> and aptitute gets its stuff from online repositories
[11:01] <basemann> SeanTater: doesn't the install process detect like hardware and stuff
[11:01] <Doomdebah> ... neeever mind, i really am just a big newb. thanks for the help
[11:02] <basemann> whoops

[11:02] <ladydoor> Hail_Spacecake: aha. so that shouldn't be too hard to manage, then
[11:02] <frfx> Hail_Spacecake: i believe it is on the ubuntu cd..but it  isnt installed by default
[11:02] <Hail_Spacecake> can I set aptitutde to get the ndiswrapper file from the flash drive? or from the hard drive for that matter?
[11:02] <basemann> Dimensions: well the lappy has no cd drive, no usb boot, no PXE

[11:03] <catmando> hello all
[11:03] <blocky> argh
[11:03] <ladydoor> Hail_Spacecake: what you need to do is save the .deb to some dir and then do dpkg -i filename.deb
[11:03] <JoseStefan> eyequeue, both released in Aug
[11:03] <ladydoor> Hail_Spacecake: *with sudo
[11:03] <eyequeue> JoseStefan, you seem to have a fascination with version numbers, perhaps you would prefer edgy?
[11:03] <Hail_Spacecake> what's the difference between aptitude and dpkg -i?
[11:03] <catmando> quick question
[11:03] <Dimensions> jariep1_:  i personally use ssh instead
[11:04] <Dr_Willis> Version Obsession! on the Next Jenny Jones 2.01!
[11:04] <ladydoor> aptitude is a front-end to apt-get, which in turn is a front-end to dpgk
[11:04] <eyequeue> Hail_Spacecake, dpkg -i is for a deb, aptitude does more behind the scenes
[11:04] <don_jr> ladydoor will the ndiswrapper help get my wireless usb to work?
[11:04] <JoseStefan> eyequeue, i did start in fligh5, and miss the frequent updates, but edgy is still "too beta" for me
[11:04] <ladydoor> don_jr: yeah
[11:04] <ladydoor> don_jr: maybe
[11:04] <frfx> Hail_Spacecake: read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper?highlight=%28ndiswrapper%29 you dont need internet access
[11:04] <ladydoor> don_jr: do you have a driver?
[11:04] <catmando> what is the closest thing to PuttY on Ubuntu - I don't want to use the plain terminal to SSH, as I can't set it up to do logging, etc.
[11:04] <jariep1_> but something is blocking access to that machine... I cannot complete traceroute
[11:04] <don_jr> ladydoor is it possible to get the dirvers out of my windows partition on this same computer?
[11:04] <eyequeue> JoseStefan, stable ubuntu will not release more often than every 6 months
[11:05] <ladydoor> don_jr: if you know where they are, yeah, just copy them to somewhere on your ubuntu partition
[11:05] <Sammylvz> hi
[11:05] <JoseStefan> eyequeue, I expected dapper-updates to have more frequent updates, for those users like me.
[11:05] <don_jr> ladydoor do that from windows? it will allow me to copy/paste into the ubuntu side?
[11:05] <eyequeue> JoseStefan, no, dapper is stable
[11:05] <ladydoor> eh...to a floppy disk or something, i guess

[11:06] <Renan_s2> or PuTTY for Linux
[11:06] <don_jr> ladydoor possibly, not sure how?  I"m still learnign how to move around with the file system.  Should I be able to pull files from the windows side from within ubuntu?
[11:06] <JoseStefan> eyequeue, I was also counting on seeing more from dapper-backports, the state i want to be is at the upstream versions without going beta
[11:06] <Dr_Willis> cant do logging? Hmm
[11:06] <basemann> allright new question
[11:07] <basemann> can i load the ubuntu netboot image
[11:07] <Paddy_EIRE> does nayone use this theme Avio-GDM
[11:07] <basemann> onto the HD itself
[11:07] <frfx> Hail_Spacecake: you got my message?
[11:07] <ladydoor> don_jr: i don't know; i don't dual boot. sorry. you *may* have to boot into windows and then copy it to a floppy drive or email it to yourself. i don't know?
[11:07] <eyequeue> Dr_Willis, i presume he doesn't know about script
[11:07] <don_jr> ladydoor e-mail....that sounds like a quick fix!  Thanx
[11:07] <Hail_Spacecake> yeah
[11:07] <Hail_Spacecake> I'm reading it now
[11:07] <ladydoor> don_jr: np
[11:07] <Dr_Willis> don_jr,  ya can access the windows partitions - if they are mounted.
[11:07] <Hail_Spacecake> hmm, apparantly you can install from the cd
[11:07] <marshall_> don_jr: hold on a sec
[11:07] <JoseStefan> eyequeue, arent upstream versions of Apache2 and PHP5 considered stable? at least enough for dapper-updates?
[11:07] <Dr_Willis> eyequeue,  its too old-skool!
[11:08] <marshall_> don_jr: youre asking if you can access your windows partition from ubuntu
[11:08] <don_jr> ladydoor and last question.  After I get them ont the ubuntu side what command do I use to get ndiswrapper to see them?
[11:08] <marshall_> don_jr: right?
[11:08] <frfx> Hail_Spacecake: yeah..so you dont need a USB stick or something like that
[11:08] <don_jr> marshall_ yes
[11:08] <Hail_Spacecake> how do I get dpkg to get the program off of the cd rather than an online repository?
[11:08] <basemann> Like is there a way to copy whatever files I need for netboot to the HD and start up the lappy that way?
[11:08] <ladydoor> have you installed ndiswrapper already?
[11:08] <marshall_> don_jr: like read and write to that drive?
[11:08] <Hail_Spacecake> no, not yet
[11:08] <eyequeue> Hail_Spacecake, sudo apt-cdrom add
[11:08] <ROCKSTEADY1964> can someone e-mail step-by-step instructions so i can get sound............looneytuned64@yahoo.com..............i'm not good with computer stuff
[11:08] <frfx> Hail_Spacecake: in your sources.list must been a sentence with "cd .."
[11:09] <don_jr> marshall_ yes, can I brows through my windows side of the partition to find a file and then copy it into the ubuntu side
[11:09] <jstarcher> can someone do me a favor real fast? Go to http://spreadsheets.google.com and tell me if it works ok
[11:09] <meathead_> it works
[11:09] <ompaul> !sound > ROCKSTEADY1964
[11:09] <meathead_> I was there yesterday
[11:09] <Hail_Spacecake> eyequeue: that just adds whatever cd happens to be in the drive at the time?
[11:09] <ompaul> ROCKSTEADY1964, read the message from the channel bot sound
[11:09] <eyequeue> Hail_Spacecake, you put the one you want in, yes
[11:09] <ompaul> ROCKSTEADY1964, read the message from the channel bot about sound (that is )
[11:09] <EVRAMP> how to find out architecture of installed programmes?
[11:09] <Dr_Willis> jstarcher,  works fine for me
[11:09] <marshall_> don_jr: linux has a hard time dealing with NTFS partitions but you can fix that
[11:09] <ROCKSTEADY1964> ?i'm clueless
[11:10] <eyequeue> jstarcher, Create, store and share spreadsheets on the web.
[11:10] <ladydoor> don_jr: after you install ndiswrapper, do sudo ndiswrapper -i /path/to/.inf/file; then do ndiswrapper -l. if it says "driver installed, hardware present, then do sudo ndiswrapper -m; finally, do sudo modprobe ndiswrapper and bring up your wireless interface from the network-admin tool
[11:10] <jstarcher> Dr_Willis, okay thanks. if you type java -version what do you get?
[11:10] <blocky> has anybody had any success setting up an epson stylus C88 with a USB connection

[11:10] <ceruleantiger> I'm trying to install ubuntu on my macbook (dual-boot on OSX/ubuntu is what I'm planning). For some reason, the installer keeps crashing (the screen gets all pixelated, and everything - when I do alt install. When I do regular install from LiveCD, that also fails for some reason (it just freezes up at a certain point). Is this a known problem?
[11:10] <Paddy_EIRE> can someone give me a DIRECT link to some themes for ubuntu so i can drag and drop the download into the theme manager

[11:26] <Dr_Willis> Paddy_EIRE,  themes are not for 'ubuntu' they are for 'gnome' which is what ubuntu uses. or for KDE which kubuntu uses.
[11:27] <Huh1> Jack_Sparrow: of course it is pretty occasional but hey, there gotta be an option for that.

[11:33] <eyequeue> what a nick :(
[11:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE: That particular theme gives me the same result, which others have you tried..

[11:33] <Jack_Sparrow> s_h_a_d_o_w_s: you would need to learn glide to do it.
[11:33] <R3D> can anyone tell me if dapper drake will work with a nvidia 6800gs by default? i start the live cd, and it get just lines on the screen, but when i started with safe graphics it works just fine (i'm using it right now)
[11:33] <Q-FUNK> Varean: come again?
[11:33] <MikeyMike> hi nancety :)
[11:33] <Hail_Spacecake> frfx: alright, I can do terminal

[11:34] <erUSUL> !nvidia > R3D
[11:34] <Q-FUNK> Varean: however, it really is atheros
[11:34] <eyequeue> UncleD, try #ubuntu+1
[11:34] <Varean> Q-FUNK: It shows that you are connected to the network, or no

[11:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE: I just did the glass icons from the top 10 and went fine
[11:36] <frfx> mafu: that isnt good i think :)
[11:36] <Q-FUNK> Varean: it's only n-m that fails. or at least the applet does
[11:36] <Varean> Q-FUNK: I assume you are using the default Ubuntu NM, right? Not NDISwrapper?
ok then i got a prob :(
[11:36] <MikeyMike> hi nancety :)
[11:36] <thybo> Q-Funk do you have access to network config?
[11:36] <Q-FUNK> Varean: not ndiswrapper.  wlan (which in turns gets the atheros driver from madwifi)

 wait there icons??? i already give you the link there are no icon themes there

[11:39] <Acyy> there is no real error actually.   i installed ubuntu with no problem, and it boots fine, but then when the login screen should come up, i get a black screen instead.
[11:39] <Jack_Sparrow> kerwonz: We recommend AGAINST using #Automatix
[11:39] <TheGame> kerwonz: i already told u how to remove it
[11:39] <Varean> Q-FUNK: But with Un encrypted, it just hangs?

[11:40] <tritium> phanter: yes
[11:40] <ompaul> phanter, ask your quesiton here we may be able to answer it
[11:40] <R3D> the howto that was sent to me only some what helps...but when it boots and i can't make out anything, it is all lines, i would need to beable to do it in the text mode....and i have no clue how to do that

[11:41] <Yashiro> do someone know if there ir a mplayer plugin for xchat?
[11:41] <phanter> hey, I want to join the team... no other questions :)
[11:41] <tritium> phanter: but the dev channel is not for support

[11:43] <BluR> nginx proxying to mongrel processes which are serving up a ruby on rails application
[11:43] <NickGarvey> Hail_Spacecake: maybe "knetworkmanager"
[11:43] <Yashiro> the best way to do it is to add a link at the /etc/rc2.d

[11:57] <Dr_Willis> Paddy_EIRE,  which kind of theme. Gtk2? metacity? icon? :P
[11:57] <ladydoor> Candamir: you might need to do chmod +x ./foo.bin
[11:57] <Candamir> and if it's an installer, do I run it with sudo?
 gnome
[11:57] <ladydoor> Candamir: so as to make it executable
[11:57] <Dr_Willis> Cool ;  themes:///  in the gnome file manager is nofty
[11:57] <R3D> JoseStefan: i can't use that medoth, i can enable the restricked packages that way, i can't do anything with the desktop, i can't see anything on it, so i need a way to do it in text mode (ctrl+alt+F1 mode thingy)
[11:57] <jackn> Disaster: no x-windows, and the filesystem mounts as read-only. I know I need to change fstab, where I made a mistake, but how can I modfiy anything if it's read-only?!...
 like the themes that i can choose in the theme manager
[11:57] <ladydoor> R3D: sudo nano -w /etc/apt/sources.list (after backing it up, of course)
[11:57] <Dr_Willis> Paddy_EIRE,  you are confusing the idea of a gnome theme.. a GNOME theme is normally a complet set of themes for gtk2,metacity, and the icons.. notice the 'theme details' button/tab.
[11:58] <Dr_Willis> Paddy_EIRE,  you can mixx and match the parts as you wish
