[12:01] <existance> eXistenZ, Saa, na.
[12:01] <madmaxs> can somebody tell me how to update ubuntus firefox?
[12:01] <Fille> "Command not found"
[12:01] <sethk> Fille, try hash -r
[12:01] <sethk> Fille, then try to run it again
[12:02] <sethk> madmaxs, run synaptic, search for a newer version than the one you are running
[12:02] <Fille> I typed "firefox" and it says "command not found"
[12:02] <Fille> still
[12:02] <sethk> madmaxs, if there isn't one in the repository, you can update but the package manager won't be aware of the fact that you did, which can be a minor problem
[12:02] <sethk> Fille, are you sure it's installed?
[12:02] <Leonrott> lamego, nothing works
[12:02] <Fille> I don't know
[12:02] <madmaxs> ok, thanks
[12:02] <Fille> How should I install it if I want to install it then?
[12:02] <sethk> Fille, run synaptic, search for firefox, see what the installation status of it is
[12:02] <Fille> k
[12:03] <Ych> help, i have no sound in flash, i googled, found some solutiion, tried it, and no avail
[12:03] <jrib> !flash > Ych
[12:03] <Fille> How do I run Synaptic?
[12:03] <sethk> Fille, you can install from the command line with apt-get, but synaptic is easier as it will show you the package name
[12:03] <Leonrott> lamego, which syntax to connect to the ftp?
[12:03] <lamego> Leonrott, you must have a serious permissions problem which must have been caused by your owen
[12:03] <idefix> any GIMP users here?
[12:03] <sethk> Fille, sudo synaptic     at the command line
[12:03] <jrib> sethk: I think Fille is on kubuntu, is synaptic installed by default?
[12:03] <jazzrocker> anyone know how to throttle upstream bandwidth offhand?
[12:03] <lamego> Leonrott, the problem is not withthe ftp, the problem is that there was an error starting the daemon
[12:04] <jazzrocker> or rather throttle it for a specific process such as vsftpd or apache
[12:04] <sethk> jrib, I believe so.  I run kde and I use it, but I don't recall whether it was a separate install step
[12:04] <Leonrott> lamego, i fix this now the check dont have errors
[12:04] <jrib> idefix: yes, but what's the real question :P
[12:04] <Fille> Im on Kubuntu yes
[12:04] <sethk> Fille, if you don't have synaptic, use apt-get to install it (or the kde package thing, I forget the name)
[12:04] <lamego> Leonrott, ftp localhost
[12:04] <bruenig> Fille, synaptic = adept
[12:04] <Fille> k
[12:04] <Fille> eh
[12:04] <bruenig> FIlle, you said in adept that it said you already had firefox right?
[12:04] <Fille> I've tried installing Sypaptc true Adept but it didn't find it
[12:04] <bruenig> Fille, I had to step out did you try typing "firefox" in console?
[12:05] <Leonrott> lamego, ftp: connect: Connection refused
[12:05] <bruenig> konsole*
[12:05] <Fille> bruenig: yes i did
[12:05] <Dimensions> sethk: i just moved up windows option in grub and it doesn't boot windows now but ubuntu
[12:05] <Fille> it said "command unknown"
[12:05] <sethk> Fille, you can do    sudo apt-get install synaptic
[12:05] <bruenig> Fille, ok do sudo apt-cache search firefox
[12:05] <Atrio05> does anyone know how i can get Gnomebaker?
[12:05] <bruenig> sethk, if he has adept?
[12:05] <sethk> Fille, there is also kynaptic, which is a kde flavor of synaptic, I just noticed
[12:05] <bruenig> what is hte point
[12:05] <bruenig> or is adept the update manager
[12:05] <bruenig> I forget
[12:05] <sethk> bruenig, he can use adept, or install synaptic with adept, sure
[12:05] <Fille> Guys
[12:05] <sethk> bruenig, let me check
[12:05] <gutterfix> hi all
[12:06] <Dimensions> Atrio05:  just type in terminal sudo apt-get install Gnomebaker
[12:06] <Leonrott> lamego, the port doesnt matter?
[12:06] <Fille> When I try to install it says "Unable to lock the directory"
[12:06] <Fille> wtf
[12:06] <sethk> bruenig, adept is the package manager, not the update thing
[12:06] <paulm> hwy, I have an urgent problem with setting up Thunderbird. Can any one assist?
[12:06] <Atrio05> ok thanx i'll try that
[12:06] <lamego> Leonrott, no, the default isntall uses the default port which is 21
[12:06] <TBNolan> Fille close the terminal window
[12:06] <sethk> Fille, use sudo
[12:06] <lamego> Leonrott, unless you changed the conf !
[12:06] <TBNolan> and re-open it
[12:06] <Fille> Sudo k
[12:06] <gutterfix> got a question about xgl/compiz
[12:06] <Leonrott> lamego, i changed
[12:06] <jrib> paulm: best to just ask your question, if anyone can help, they will try
[12:06] <bruenig> #ubuntu-xgl
[12:06] <Fille> how do I open sudo know again
[12:06] <Fille> =_=
[12:07] <Dimensions> sethk:  what should i do now ? you told me to move up windows option in grub and it will load it but it doesn't load windows now but only ubuntu ?
[12:07] <bruenig> fille, just put sudo infront of the command
[12:07] <sethk> Fille, at the command line, just do this:   sudo apt-get install synaptic
[12:07] <Dimensions> Fille:  sudo is command you just type it
[12:07] <lamego> Leonrott, so I do you expect me to know what port you need to use :) ?
[12:07] <gutterfix> anyone here had this error?  Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by Xlib, (gnome-window-decorator:5362): Gdk-WARNING **: cannot set locale modifiers gutterfix@dapperdrake:~$ compiz.real: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing compiz.real: Failed to manage screen: 0 compiz.real: No manageable screens found on display :0.0
[12:07] <sethk> Dimensions, put your menu.lst on the paste bot
[12:07] <lamego> LeeJunFan, ftp localhost port
[12:07] <lostinc> Can someone point me to the page that has a PLF repos to add to my sys?
[12:07] <Atrio05> problem with installing gnomebaker it said: Reading package lists... Done
[12:07] <Atrio05> Building dependency tree... Done
[12:07] <Atrio05> E: Couldn't find package Gnomebaker
[12:07] <Dimensions> sethk:  paste bot ?
[12:08] <Atrio05> any help?
[12:08] <Leonrott> lamego, i know which port is, but how can i probe it?
[12:08] <Fille> Yes I wrote that
[12:08] <Fille> But it still says this
[12:08] <Fille> I'm getting crazy here ;_;
[12:08] <jrib> Atrio05: have you enabled universe?
[12:08] <lamego> LeeJunFan, like i said: ftp localhost port
[12:08] <Fille> it says following:
[12:08] <Dimensions> Atrio05:  u need to enable universe option
[12:08] <Atrio05> i don't think so how do i do that?
[12:08] <jrib> !universe > Atrio05
[12:08] <paulm> I need to set up a pop3 accout in Thunderbird. Its not connecting to the server. pop3.indigo.ie
[12:08] <Fille> "Unable to lock the administration directory"
[12:09] <Fille> Why???
[12:09] <Dimensions> Fille:  did you just updated your system ?
[12:09] <skeff> so.. why is the current version of Ubuntu called LTS if Edgy is coming already in October?
[12:09] <sethk> Fille, if you used sudo, and it still says that, another package app is probably running
[12:09] <AsadR> do Mp3s play in Ubuntu out of the box, or do you need to install something extra to get them to play?
[12:09] <Dimensions> Fille:  i mean did you install updates ?
[12:09] <jrib> !lts
[12:09] <ubotu> lts is Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.
[12:09] <sethk> Fille, kill any running adept, apt-get, synaptic, kyanptic, etc.
[12:10] <jrib> !mp3 > AsadR
[12:10] <jrib> AsadR: you need to install something extra
[12:10] <Dimensions> Fille:  just simply reboot your computer it will do your work ... u wont get that message hopefully
[12:10] <Dimensions> sethk:  what is paste bot ?
[12:10] <Fille> Now it's gone
[12:10] <sethk> Dimensions, a web site for pasting things for people to look at.  the url is in the topic
[12:10] <Fille> I closed my Adept and tried the command again
[12:10] <Fille> But now it said following
[12:10] <Fille> :
[12:10] <Dimensions> sethk:  you mean paste Bin
[12:11] <paulm> I need to set up a pop3 accout in Thunderbird. Its not connecting to the server. pop3.indigo.ie
[12:11] <sethk> Dimensions, no, I mean paste 'bot
[12:11] <Fille> "The package Firefox isn't available"
[12:11] <Fille> huh
[12:11] <Cillian> Anybody know, with the custom install instructions, using debootstrap, why there's no base-config command like it says there should be>
[12:11] <Cillian> ?
[12:11] <AsadR> i have a running Ubuntu desktop system now, is there any way i can build an ubuntu-server system by mounting a new HD and installing onto that?
[12:11] <Cillian> And if the lack of running this command could make logins take literally 5 mins
[12:11] <sethk> Dimensions, it's a 'bot because (at least when configured that way) is prints the url for pastes in the channel
[12:11] <Cillian> AsadR: Sure
[12:11] <Fille> What do I do now?
[12:11] <sethk> Dimensions, this channel doesn't have it configured that way, but that is the reason it's called bot
[12:11] <Cillian> AsadR: Just do custom partitioning in the installer
[12:11] <Flannel> AsadR: the "server" is just the desktop with no GUI stuff, you essentially already have it
[12:11] <mcphail> Fille: don't use a capital "F" in firefox
[12:11] <Dimensions> sethk:  whats the id of it ?
[12:11] <Dimensions> ops
[12:12] <Dimensions> sethk: whats the url for it ?
[12:12] <Fille> I didn't use capital "F" when I wrote the command
[12:12] <Fille> I wrote regulare "firefox" :)
[12:12] <sethk> Dimensions, I don't remember, but it's in the channel topic, which you should be able to see
[12:12] <Fille> but still the system is giving me a hard time ://///
[12:12] <AsadR> Flannel: but if i want to install just basic packages, the ones i select, and no extra bloat, how do i make the package manager install to the new partition and not my currently running one?
[12:12] <paulm> I need to set up a pop3 accout in Thunderbird. Can anyone help?
[12:13] <Dimensions> Fille:  type this >> sudo apt-get install firefox
[12:13] <Fille> Dimensions: I already did
[12:13] <jazzrocker> paulm, it's in the edit -> accounts... menu or something similar
[12:13] <Fille> still doesn't work
[12:13] <sethk> Fille, it's firefox, lower case f
[12:13] <Fille> yes
[12:13] <linuxd00d> does anyone use XGL????
[12:13] <jazzrocker> paulm, besides it should present you with a "wizard" the first time you launch
[12:13] <Fille> I understod that
[12:13] <J_P> hi all
[12:13] <cry0gen> linuxd00d: of course
[12:13] <Fille> but it still won't work
[12:13] <jrib> !xgl > linuxd00d
[12:13] <jazzrocker> linuxd00d, i'm sure they do
[12:13] <Flannel> AsadR: You can't do that, you'll need to reinstall.  I'm not really sure I understand why you're doing this.  What are you eventually hoping to accomplish?
[12:13] <sethk> Fille, what does it do?
[12:13] <Dimensions> Fille:  did it ask for passwd when u gave that command ?
[12:13] <paulm> Jazzrocker i've done that but the account still wont connect
[12:13] <Fille> yes
[12:13] <Fille> and I wrote it
[12:13] <jazzrocker> paulm, well that's too bad, i hope you get it fixed.
[12:14] <Cillian> How do I set my DNS nameserver in ubuntu?
[12:14] <Fille> and then it says that the package is missing or something
[12:14] <Fille> =_=
[12:14] <paulm> Jazzrocker I think its something i've written for the server settings or account name
[12:14] <sethk> Fille, do:   sudo apt-get update
[12:14] <J_P> people, how I remove grub from MBR of the disk ? in DOS I know that I can do : fdisk /mbr. But I am using linux, how do I ?
[12:14] <jazzrocker> paulm, well we can't help you there
[12:14] <misieq> do i have to run some rsync daemon in order to get files with rsync from some host or what?
[12:14] <AsadR> basically what i have in mind is i just a lazy sort of linux-from-scratch, i just want to use the package manager's dependancy resolution capability.. i tell it i want to install, say, Apache, and it goes ahead and calculates all it's dependancies - starting with the base system onwards
[12:14] <sethk> J_P, you don't remove it, you replace it
[12:14] <jazzrocker> paulm, that comes from your ISP and you shouldn't give any of that info to anyone IRC
[12:14] <misieq> and what ports does rsync use?
[12:14] <Atrio05> ok i enabled universe but i still get the same error
[12:14] <sethk> J_P, fdisk /mbr puts the bootloader ON the mbr, it doesn't remove anything
[12:14] <J_P> sethk: so, how I replace it ?
[12:15] <Cillian> Found it
[12:15] <sethk> J_P, with what?
[12:15] <paulm> Jazzrocker ok thanks I havnt.
[12:15] <jazzrocker> paulm, call the company from which you get internet... or use Yahoo!
[12:15] <misieq> !rsync
[12:15] <ubotu> rsync: fast remote file copy program (like rcp). In component main, is standard. Version 2.6.6-1ubuntu2 (dapper), package size 214 kB, installed size 444 kB
[12:15] <J_P> sethk: anythink, but not grub
[12:15] <Fille> well I still got my problem but thanks for the help anyway guys, I'll be back tomorow maybe then you can help me further guys :)
[12:15] <Fille> I have to go to sleep now it's like 00:15 over here
[12:15] <Fille> anyhow thanks for the help appreciate it :) laters!
[12:15] <paulm> Jazzrocker the problem is an urgent email that is on that account and my Win 98 with out look is broken so I was hoping that i could use Thunderbird to access it
[12:15] <dingus9> hey Im trying to access my cups server, but it wont allow me to authenticate? I have tried to authenticate as root, my user and varius others any ideas
[12:16] <sethk> J_P, if you want the windows boot loader, boot a windows cd and do fdisk/mbr
[12:16] <J_P> sethk: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdx bs=512 count=1 :-)
[12:16] <Ych> thankyou jrib
[12:16] <sethk> J_P, that will also blast away your partition table
[12:16] <jazzrocker> paulm, the urgency of your problem has nothing to do with whether or how well we can help you
[12:17] <Flannel> AsadR: right, you'll want to get the alternate ISO, and then type "server" at the prompt, or, you can just uninstall the additional packages on your current setup.  The only meta package you need is... well, I suppose it depends on how minimal you want your minimal system, ubuntu-base is probably what you want though.
[12:17] <jrib> Ych: np
[12:17] <donald> nick chamilitary_mang
[12:17] <Flannel> AsadR: but, you can go lower than that, with ubuntu-minimal
[12:17] <paulm> Jazzrocker i know but Google wasnt really helping so i thought talking to real people might work better than a search engine
[12:17] <Flannel> astro_-: (ubuntu-base instsalls -minimal and -standard)
[12:18] <B4ckB0ne> servus
[12:18] <jazzrocker> paulm, install vmware-server and then install outlook <-- not the best method but it "should" work
[12:19] <jazzrocker> paulm, either that or figure out what you typed wrong.
[12:19] <xange> so has there been an valid solution to the freezing in dapper?
[12:19] <paulm> Jazzrocker kk thanks
[12:19] <B4ckB0ne> welche xine video treiber verwendet ihr .. ich kann mich nicht entscheiden
[12:19] <B4ckB0ne> :-)
[12:20] <abo> any one knows how can I clear lock set by synaptic?
[12:20] <mots> well, this is an english channel
[12:20] <B4ckB0ne> Im sorry
[12:20] <B4ckB0ne> :-)
[12:20] <mots> kein problem ^^
[12:20] <Atrio05> ok i'm trying to install gnomebaker does anyone have any tips on how to install it easily
[12:20] <jrib> Atrio05: use apt-get or synaptic
[12:21] <B4ckB0ne> Which xine video driver is the best?
[12:21] <Atrio05> jrib i can't find it in either of those
[12:21] <jazzrocker> abo, quit synaptic
[12:21] <jrib> Atrio05: were you able to add universe?
[12:21] <woodgrain> !resolution > woodgrain
[12:21] <sethk> abo, normally by stopping synaptic
[12:21] <jazzrocker> Atrio05, k3b > gnome-baker IMO
[12:21] <Atrio05> jrib: yes i got that enabled
[12:21] <sethk> abo, do ps aux | grep synaptic    make sure you don't have one running that you don't know about
[12:22] <sethk> abo, also make sure apt-get and/or dpkg also is not running
[12:22] <lamego> aba_, sudo fuser -cuk /lock_file
[12:22] <jrib> Atrio05: you should be able to just do 'sudo apt-get install gnomebaker'  do you get any errors with that?
[12:22] <abo> sethk, jazzrocker,  ps -aux | grep  apt returns nothing
[12:22] <lamego> erm, i mean abo
[12:22] <mots> jazzrocker: yeah, imo too, but maybe he doesn't want to install all the KDE-libs...
[12:22] <jazzrocker> abo, i said quit synaptic not apt
[12:22] <lamego> abo, are you running the command with sudo ? the apt-get command ?
[12:22] <Atrio05> jrib: hold on a second while i try it
[12:22] <jazzrocker> abo, if you're running synaptic you cannot apt-get install things
[12:23] <abo> jazzrocker, grep atp would return something if synAPTic is running
[12:23] <B4ckB0ne> ermmmmm jeah
[12:23] <sephzero> Hello everyone :)
[12:23] <TBNolan> okay, so i did an apt-get install eggdrop, but now i dont know where i should put my config file after i edit it in order to run my eggy
[12:23] <sethk> abo, actually, no, grep -i atp would
[12:23] <TBNolan> where would it have installed to?
[12:23] <sephzero> anyone could help me?
[12:23] <Atrio05> jrib: i get this error:Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done E: Couldn't find package gnomebaker
[12:23] <B4ckB0ne> Which xine video driver should i use?
[12:24] <SammyTheSnake> I'm trying to get my friend's wlan card working and I'm kinda stuck. I've got card manager recognising the pcmcia card, and the ath_pci module loading, lspci shows it as an Atheros 802.11 device. The problem step is that I don't get a /dev/wlan0 file created. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
[12:24] <abo> seth, apt-get synaptic and dpkg are not running
[12:24] <nozorro> abo: and aptitude or dselect?
[12:24] <jrib> Atrio05: that probably means universe isn't properly enabled.  I'm going to grab dinner now, but paste the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org and give the channel a link.  Ask someone to help you make sure you have universe
[12:24] <sethk> abo, the other thing that causes the "can't lock" message is if you don't run as root.   try the command again, but with sudo
[12:24] <stray77> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[12:25] <abo> sethk, l, linux froze and I had to reboot
[12:25] <sephzero> uhm...a little help :)
[12:25] <erUSUL> SammyTheSnake: iwconfig shows the device? (net devices are not created in /dev/)
[12:25] <abo> sethk, when I launch synaptic I am prompted to enter my password
[12:25] <sethk> abo, you do   sudo synaptic?
[12:25] <sephzero> ok..tnx anyway :(
[12:26] <SammyTheSnake> erUSUL: it just says that lo and sit0 don't have any wlan extensions
[12:26] <SammyTheSnake> erUSUL: doesn't mention any other devices
[12:26] <PubiX> whats ur problem seph
[12:26] <nozorro> sephzero: but what *is* your question?
[12:26] <sephzero> oh..tnx PubiX :)
[12:26] <Dimensions> sethk: here is my link to pastebin i got url from topic http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22095
[12:26] <sephzero> i have installed ubuntu 6.06 dapper drake yesterday
[12:27] <sephzero> and i have psp..connected to it with USB connection
[12:27] <abo> lamego, sudo fuser -cuk /lock_file returned Cannot stat /lock_file: No such file or directory
[12:27] <eltower> hey all
[12:27] <abo> sethk, yes synaptic requires me to run it using sudo
[12:27] <sephzero> i can move psp file to ubuntu
[12:27] <eltower> anyone know if there's a Ubuntu for PPC support IRC?
[12:27] <sephzero> but can't move files from ubuntu to psp and delete psp files :(
[12:27] <PubiX> hmm
[12:27] <sephzero> how could i resolve this issue? :(
[12:28] <nozorro> sephzero, what is psp?
[12:28] <sethk> abo, ok, let's finish, you type a password (your password, not root's password, correct?), and then?
[12:28] <PubiX> the handheld system?
[12:28] <sephzero> psp = playstation portable :)
[12:28] <sethk> Dimensions, give me a couple of minutes here
[12:28] <Dimensions> how can i get support for different formats in realplayer ...
[12:28] <Dimensions> alrite sethk no probs
[12:28] <erUSUL> SammyTheSnake: and you are sure the atheros driver is loaded?
[12:28] <eltower> buah, you could have gotten a Nokia 770 for the same things but better :) @ PubiX
[12:29] <SammyTheSnake> erUSUL: it shows up in lsmod and /var/log/messages
[12:29] <nozorro> sephzero: how are you connected to psp
[12:29] <sephzero> USB connection :)
[12:30] <eltower> hum hum, I don't suppose anyone here uses Ubuntu on PPC... ?
[12:30] <eltower> :)
[12:30] <abo> sethk, ok got the problem, as I said it's because I had to shut down while synaptic was running, to fix: dpkg --configure -a (if anyone else needs it) thanks all,  sethk, nozorro, jazzrocker, lamego
[12:30] <erUSUL> SammyTheSnake: i do not know what can be wrong if the driver loads without errors the device should be listed in iwconfig -a or ifconfig -a
[12:30] <sethk> abo, thanks
[12:30] <nozorro> sephzero: oh ... and you can see the file system  on the psp -- which file system does it use anyway?
[12:30] <eltower> I'll try the forums
[12:30] <eltower> adious
[12:30] <SammyTheSnake> erUSUL: yeah, that was my thinking :(
[12:30] <jazzrocker> abo, cool
[12:30] <sephzero> psp?
[12:31] <sephzero> FAT i suppose..
[12:31] <erUSUL> SammyTheSnake: sorry for not being of much help :(
[12:31] <sephzero> he pc reads the content of the Memory Stick Pro Duo 2GB i've in my PSP :)
[12:31] <sephzero> i think i have to give write and manipulation right to psp
[12:32] <sephzero> rights*
[12:32] <sethk> Dimensions, you only moved the title and root lines, you didn't move savedefault, makeactive, and chainloader +1
[12:32] <sethk> Dimensions, savedefault isn't necessary, by the way
[12:32] <sephzero> but i don't know how to do it in command line...
[12:33] <philo23> hey, when ever i try to install ubuntu my pc seems to restart, i've tried live cd normal and safe mode and alertnate cd, nether work, any ideas?
[12:33] <sethk> Dimensions, but makeactive and chainloader +1 lines must follow the windows title and root lines
[12:33] <sethk> Dimensions, savedefault doesn't hurt anything there, but it doesn't do anything either
[12:33] <coder2000> is there a way to roll back mesa without uninstalling gnome>?
[12:33] <nozorro> sephzero: lets see can you pls do a 'la -la /media' in a terminal?
[12:33] <Dimensions> ahhan gotch you ... i thought they are for all of list as it was given only at the end but not for the ubuntu kernels etc ...
[12:33] <woodgrain> do the resolution notes apply to HOARY work for DAPPER?
[12:34] <philo23> any one?
[12:34] <nozorro> sephzero, i meant 'ls -la'
[12:34] <sephzero> ok..wait a sec :D
[12:35] <Dimensions> sethk: how can i add an empty line between win OS and ubuntu
[12:35] <sethk> Dimensions, there is a command to draw a horizontal line, let me look it up
[12:35] <nozorro> sephzero: is something resembling the usb stick listed in this directory? also, is it listed under Places | Computer?
[12:36] <philo23> please someone?
[12:36] <dougalater> psp on dapper drake? whats it take to run and transfer?
[12:36] <Dimensions> sethk: though there were lines before without any commands i could see .. as i hav't deleted any thing there just moved up and down ...
[12:36] <sethk> Dimensions, I'll have to boot my laptop for that, if you can hold on for a bit
[12:36] <sephzero> drwx------ 11 sephzero sephzero 4096 1970-01-01 01:00 psp
[12:36] <sethk> Dimensions, let me bring it up again, and I'll tell you what the lines are for if you want to know
[12:36] <sephzero> this told me
[12:37] <sephzero> and other things referring cdrom0
[12:37] <jrib> Atrio05: did someone help you out?
[12:37] <Atrio05> ok i need someone to help me enable "universe in my /etc/apt/sources.list the link to my pastebin is http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components
[12:37] <jrib> Atrio05: oh good timing for me, but that doesn't seem like the right pastebin link
[12:38] <sethk> Dimensions, debian's automatic thing generates mor lines than you actually need, which isn't unusual for a machine generated file
[12:38] <nozorro> sephzero, hmm looks ok to me, let me think ...
[12:38] <philo23> can any one help me please?
[12:38] <Atrio05> yea sorry hold on
[12:38] <woodgrain> the video resolution upgrade says:sudo sh -c 'md5sum /etc/X11/xorg.conf > /var/lib/x11/xorg.conf.md5sum'
[12:38] <nozorro> sephzero, obviously any write protection on the usb stick sould be disabled
[12:38] <woodgrain> why can't I just do it without the sh?
[12:38] <sethk> Dimensions, title starts an entry.    root and kernel you understand, I think.  An initrd line is needed if you use a temporary in memory root file system during the boot process
[12:38] <Atrio05> jrib: here is the correct link http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22096
[12:39] <woodgrain> the sh -c part?
[12:39] <sethk> Dimensions, savedefault only matters in situations that don't occur in your file
[12:39] <Dimensions> ahhan ...
[12:39] <sethk> Dimensions, I don't remember what boot is for, but it's a noop when the rest of the line is blank
[12:39] <sephzero> how to disable it? :)
[12:39] <jrib> Atrio05: yes you do have universe, just run the command 'sudo apt-get update' to update the database
[12:40] <Atrio05> oh ok thank you
[12:40] <sethk> Dimensions, it's possible in grub to set it up so that, say, if you boot choice 1, then choice 2 becomes the default, or in general, if you boot choice n, then choice m becomes the default for the next boot
[12:40] <sephzero> nozorro..i've used windows too to browse my PSP..with the same usb cable..and it can do everithing..move files..remove them etc..
[12:40] <sethk> Dimensions, I use that in some embedded products but it's not usually needed for a desktop
[12:40] <sephzero> :(
[12:40] <jrib> Atrio05: any time you edit sources.list you need to run that command for the changes to take effect
[12:40] <nozorro> sephzero, i'm talking about any physical write-prot. thingy, not software-related
[12:40] <sephzero> but i need to do this with ubuntu :(
[12:40] <nozorro> sephzero, what, 'this'?
[12:41] <sephzero> how to remove a directory using terminal?
[12:41] <sethk> Dimensions, by putting savedefault on every line, the default kernel is always the most recently booted one.  I don't like this.
[12:41] <jrib> sephzero: rmdir if it is empty, else use rm -r
[12:41] <sethk> Dimensions, I prefer to keep my old kernel as the default until I'm sur  my newer one actually works  :)
[12:41] <Ally0S0> sephzero: rm -r "directory name"
[12:41] <sephzero> nozorro..i've used windows too to browse my PSP..with the same usb cable..and it can do everithing..move files..remove them etc..but i need to do this with ubuntu :(
[12:41] <fuoco> do i need anything special to install ubuntu without network ?
[12:41] <sephzero> ok :)
[12:41] <Dimensions> yeah ... i have used new one for abt one month thats why i removed old one ...
[12:42] <sethk> fuoco, if you want to install a typical system, it isn't easy to do without the network
[12:42] <Ally0S0> fuoco: no, but you obviously will not get updates
[12:42] <philo23> please someone help me?
[12:42] <sethk> fuoco, ubuntu is not the best distro choice in that situation
[12:42] <nozorro> sephzero, try the terminal command which i mentioned before pls.
[12:42] <sethk> philo23, only if you ask a question
[12:42] <philo23> i have
[12:42] <sephzero> ls -la /media ?
[12:42] <fuoco> sethk: i know, but say just for the install...
[12:42] <jrib> philo23: what speed did you burn your disks at?
[12:42] <PubiX> philo wat is ur problem
[12:42] <philo23>  when ever i try to install ubuntu my pc seems to restart, i've tried live cd normal and safe mode and alertnate cd, nether work, any ideas
[12:42] <sethk> philo23, sorry, didn't see it, try again
[12:43] <Ally0S0> fuoco: that would be no problem
[12:43] <nozorro> sephzero, no, but 'cp somefile /media/psp' -- which are the error messages?
[12:43] <philo23> np
[12:43] <fuoco> Ally0S0: hmm, i tried install and it failed because of no network
[12:43] <sephzero> ok wait :)
[12:43] <fuoco> Ally0S0: it was alternative cd
[12:43] <sethk> fuoco, you'll get enough of a system to get onto the internet and do more installing, but not enough of a system to use for anything
[12:43] <Ally0S0> what was there error?
[12:43] <TLE> Good evening
[12:43] <sethk> fuoco, that's why I said it's not the best distro for that situation
[12:43] <sethk> fuoco, perhaps I'm misunderstanding what you want to do?
[12:44] <Dimensions> sethk:  how do i add an empty line then ?
[12:44] <PubiX> hmm so right when u put it in it just restarts or when u try and boot from the cd the computer restarts?
[12:44] <fuoco> sethk: i just want to install on some old pc - which is not connected to the network, yet
[12:44] <DebnuB> Hi everyone. Having problems configuring my network. nslookup, ping, siynaptic work fine. No www or chat. any help?
[12:44] <sethk> Dimensions, hold on, I'll get to it  :)
[12:44] <fuoco> i will start the install again and tell you where it fails...
[12:44] <sethk> fuoco, ok
[12:45] <Arigato> Hello, I have a question. Is it possible to remove grub and have my computer boot directly into ubuntu?
[12:45] <sephzero> no error messages..
[12:45] <sephzero> and if i use  ls /media/psp/ after copy
[12:45] <Ally0S0> arigato: u can set ubuntu as default in grub
[12:45] <sephzero> it tells me that the file is on psp..
[12:45] <Flannel> Arigato: no.  You need a bootloader, but you can make it boot straight into ubuntu by changing some options
[12:45] <Ally0S0> arigato, it will start ubuntu automatically
[12:46] <sephzero> it copied?
[12:46] <Azathoth_> anuone can help me withg install of lirc and errors on lirc_gpio?
[12:46] <sephzero> how to copy directories?
[12:46] <Arigato> ok, thans for your help

[12:46] <mc__> !anyone
[12:46] <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?
[12:46] <Azathoth_> ........
[12:46] <kuribas> Is there a good reason to switch from debian to ubuntu?
[12:46] <nozorro> sephzero: ok, so it works at least from the command line, check pls with 'ls -la /media/psp' whether the file was copied, or look with the file manager
[12:47] <sephzero> i've looked with file manager
[12:47] <guest666> !info ri
[12:47] <ubotu> ri: Ruby Interactive reference (ri). In component universe, is optional. Version 1.8.2-1 (dapper), package size 3 kB, installed size 44 kB

[12:47] <nozorro> sephzero, go ahead
[12:47] <Azathoth_> thanks anyway
[12:47] <mc__> kuribas: yes,for instance you get a nice desktop out of the box
[12:47] <Azathoth_> bye
[12:47] <TLE> mc__: was that for me ?
[12:47] <guest666> !info radrails
[12:47] <ubotu> Package radrails does not exist in any distro I know

[12:48] <mc__> kuribas: i did switch from testing to ubuntu
[12:48] <Flannel> !tell guest666 about skype
[12:48] <Flannel> !tell guest666 about opera
[12:48] <mc__> kuribas: better hardware detection is another reason
[12:48] <Cillian> Is there a simple way to run a small program on bootup?
[12:48] <sephzero> how to remove this file?
[12:48] <magus_x> !info wine
[12:48] <kuribas> mc__: sounds good :)
[12:48] <Cillian> Like /etc/init.d/local on gentoo

[12:48] <sephzero> oss trunk.rar
[12:48] <mc__> Cillian: bum
[12:48] <sephzero> ?
[12:48] <jrib> TBNolan: install tcllib ?
[12:48] <episteme73> I've been unable to find the freevo package - added the repository, but nothing matching 'freevo' on search. your thoughts?
[12:49] <TBNolan> i did
[12:49] <Cillian> mc__: bum?
[12:49] <tarver> win4lin is a good program
[12:49] <guest666> !tell guest666 about cedega
[12:49] <jrib> TBNolan: then you have the tcl library
[12:49] <mc__> kuribas: and in fact,the difference is not huge,so you still have your good old debian
[12:49] <nozorro> sephzero, pls try now with the file manager (drag'n'drop). your usb device should be listed under Places > Computer
[12:49] <TBNolan> jrib: i've installed tcllib, but when i run ./configure it still says no deal
[12:49] <kuribas> mc__: I am using debian testing, but upgrading XFree just broke my whole setup.
[12:49] <Flannel> episteme73: which repository?
[12:49] <guest666> good bot )
[12:49] <Cillian> Oh, right
[12:49] <Cillian> :)
[12:49] <philo23> i've tried to re burn the cd serveral times... but to no avail
[12:49] <mc__> Cillian: its a package(boot up manager)
[12:49] <kuribas> mc__: yes, I am happy with my simple setup using wmaker.
[12:49] <jrib> TBNolan: you need the -dev package if you want to compile, search for a tcl -dev package
[12:49] <episteme73> Flannel - the one listed in the freevo wiki - under ubuntu
[12:49] <mcphail> guest666: please don't keep poking the bot in the channel
[12:50] <mc__> kuribas: xfce is also nice an lightweight
[12:50] <kuribas> mc__: Yeah, but I am addicted to dockapps :)
[12:50] <Flannel> episteme73: Alright.  Well, it won't be supported, but have you updated your apt-cache? (sudo apt-get update)
[12:50] <Cillian> mc__: Yeh, I see now :_)
[12:50] <jrib> TBNolan: if you are compiling eggdrop for some reason, you can just do 'sudo apt-get build-dep eggdrop' to get the dependencies for the package in the repos
[12:50] <episteme73> Flannel Yep, all refreshed... but no 'freevo'
[12:51] <episteme73> flannel - I was thinking there might be a secondary site
[12:51] <mc__> kuribas: i see,i use wmMaker sometime
[12:51] <mc__> kuribas: i loved wmXMMS
[12:51] <fuoco> i should use ext3 for my filesystems ?
[12:51] <Ally0S0> fuoco: yep that will be fine.
[12:52] <Cillian> mc__: Do I need to make a custom initscript?
[12:52] <magus_x> fuoco, : reiserfs is verygood too
[12:52] <magus_x> i use reiserfs :)
[12:52] <Sarra_> I have a desktop PC running Windows XP Professional x64 that has a printer hooked up to it. Is there a way I can print from Ubuntu over the network, using that printer?
[12:52] <mc__> fuoco: others are faster
[12:52] <Cillian> The program doesn't come with one (It's just a quick VBIOS hack to give me widescreen and needs to go before gdm)
[12:52] <Flannel> episteme73: you'll need to ask the freevo people, since it must be a problem with their repository, or under a different name, or whatnot.
[12:52] <mc__> fuoco: i would recommend xfs
[12:52] <abo> anyone knows a good SQL client?
[12:52] <mc__> Cillian: it is one opinion
[12:52] <episteme73> Flannel fair enough... just thought I'
[12:52] <philo23> please, i'm kinda new to this and i cant seem to get ubuntu into it
[12:52] <fuoco> mc__: decide already :)
[12:52] <mcphail> Cillian: you can go down the initscript path, or just add a "@reboot" rule to your crontab
[12:52] <episteme73> 'd ask the family first
[12:52] <marshall_> hey guys
[12:53] <mc__> Cillian: but there is something,i think its called startup oder session management
[12:53] <marshall_> im having a problem with f-spot
[12:53] <episteme73> flannel cheers mate!
[12:53] <magus_x> fuoco, : which?
[12:53] <magus_x> philo23, : what's happening?
[12:53] <mc__> Cillian: where you can simply add a procces to start at startup of gnome
[12:53] <fuoco> mc__: i once had a problem with reiserfs, that nobody could even debug :)
[12:53] <philo23> when ever i try to install ubuntu my pc seems to restart, i've tried live cd normal and safe mode and alertnate cd, nether work, any ideas
[12:53] <nozorro> sephzero, have you been successfull?
[12:53] <Cillian> This needs to run before gdm, X and gnome.
[12:53] <fuoco> magus_x: which what ?
[12:53] <magus_x> fuoco, : filesystem
[12:53] <marshall_> it always crashes when i try to start it
[12:53] <TLE> Sarra_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPPrinter
[12:53] <mc__> fuoco: i dont like reiser-fs too
[12:53] <Sarra_> Thank you TLE
[12:53] <TBNolan> jrib: that didn't work "unable to find source package for eggdrop"
[12:53] <magus_x> -_-
[12:54] <fuoco> magus_x: there's boot, root and home
[12:54] <TBNolan> however, i was able to apt-get install eggdrop
[12:54] <mc__> fuoco: but xfs is really great,its even faster in many cases
[12:54] <marshall_> i get this message when i try to start f-spot from the terminal: http://pastebin.com/780195
[12:54] <magus_x> mc__, : what do you have against reiserfs ? :<
[12:54] <TLE> Sarra_: Your welcome
[12:54] <jrib> TBNolan: enable the deb-src repository in your sources.list
[12:54] <philo23> magus_x: hey, when ever i try to install ubuntu my pc seems to restart, i've tried live cd normal and safe mode and alertnate cd, nether work, any ideas
[12:54] <fuoco> mc__: maybe reiser4 will be good at some point
[12:54] <sephzero> no..
[12:54] <magus_x> philo23, : weird
[12:54] <magus_x> philo23, : when exactly it restarts?
[12:54] <TBNolan> whats the full path to sources.list?
[12:54] <sephzero> ubuntu seems to transfer the file
[12:54] <mc__> magus_x: reiserfs destroyed the data of many people
[12:54] <sephzero> but psp not give signs
[12:54] <fuoco> but really data should be put on the safest place... i'm done with experimenting and risking data
[12:54] <jrib> TBNolan: /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:54] <Flannel> TBNolan: /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:54] <sephzero> wait a sec..
[12:54] <marshall_> TBNolan: /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:54] <marshall_> lol
[12:54] <magus_x> mc__, : not mine
[12:55] <magus_x> lol
[12:55] <mc__> magus_x: but mine
[12:55] <magus_x> you got no lucky
[12:55] <sethk> fuoco, for safety, use either ext3 or ufs
[12:55] <magus_x> :S
[12:55] <jrib> TBNolan: honestly though I don't see a reason for compiling eggdrop yourself
[12:55] <philo23> magus_x: straight after i press "install text mode" or "install live cd" and kernel boots and as soon as it get to 100% it just restarted
[12:55] <mc__> ufs is really great fs
[12:55] <sephzero> now transferred successfull :)
[12:55] <nozorro> sephzero, try with the file manager, i'll guide you through it
[12:55] <marshall_> i get this message when i try to start f-spot from the terminal: http://pastebin.com/780195 can anybody help me with this?
[12:55] <sethk> fuoco, hardware RAID, of course, provides significant additional safety
[12:55] <mc__> but not on linux
[12:55] <TBNolan> i can't get the apt-get installed version to work, jrib
[12:55] <nozorro> sephzero, so where was the problem again :-)
[12:55] <magus_x> philo23: hm... you computer is "old" ?
[12:55] <fuoco> sethk: ufs ? never knew people use that with linux...
[12:55] <sephzero> the problem is removing the files :(
[12:55] <mc__> freebsd has got the best fs  in the world,i love soft-updates
[12:56] <sephzero> if in the file manager i want to remove one file from PSP
[12:56] <sethk> fuoco, it's not that commonly used, but people who know about file systems do use it
[12:56] <marshall_> i get this message when i try to start f-spot from the terminal: http://pastebin.com/780195 can anybody help me with this?
[12:56] <sephzero> it tells me MOVE TO THE TRASH
[12:56] <sephzero> but it do not delete it..
[12:56] <mcphail> sethk: RAID does not provide safety against filesystem corruption
[12:56] <fuoco> sethk: anyways it started installing
[12:56] <sephzero> it creates a folder called .Trash-sephzero
[12:56] <sephzero> and put the file in it.
[12:56] <mc__> sethk: is the linux implemetation stable?
[12:56] <philo23> magus_x: its relitivly new, 2005, HP
[12:56] <fuoco> how about HFS ?
[12:57] <sephzero> but the file is on my PSP and the space will not be free :(
[12:57] <sethk> mcphail, that's not true, as you stated it.  Frequently file system corruption is caused by an hardware glitch which trashes something on a disk
[12:57] <jrib> TBNolan: you read the docs and man page?  Maybe an online manual?  I would help but I have never used eggdrop.  I'm just speaking from experience that usually compiling it yourself will not change much
[12:57] <sethk> mc__, yes
[12:57] <mc__> sethk: ufs2 too?
[12:57] <marshall_> i get this message when i try to start f-spot from the terminal: http://pastebin.com/780195 can anybody help me with this?
[12:57] <sethk> mcphail, hardware failures can certainly cause file system corruption
[12:57] <sethk> mc__, I can't comment on the stability there, haven't tried it personally
[12:57] <Tika> hi.. i am appreciative of help on how to get xubuntu to load classic xfce with dashboard and not gnome. P2 400mhz, 64 ram :-p
[12:57] <fuoco> sethk: "Debootstrap warning: Couldn't download package gnupg"
[12:57] <nozorro> sephzero, can you check with the *terminal* again whether the file is still on the usb device?
[12:57] <mcphail> sethk: and RAID is a good way to spread the problem across 2 disks
[12:57] <mc__> sethk: hast ufs soft-updates?
[12:58] <TLE> ext3 can be accesed from windows, if your one of us "dual-booting unfortunates" who still have that last app we can't get working in Linux
[12:58] <sephzero> ok wait :9
[12:58] <mc__> sethk: i really love them
[12:58] <sethk> mcphail, if you use reiserfs, sure, I agree with that
[12:58] <nozorro> sephzero, ls -la /media/psp
[12:58] <Ally0S0> Tika: At GDM select XFCE
[12:58] <sethk> mc__, yes, same ufs, same features, afaik
[12:58] <Tika> i tried, but i still get gnome
[12:58] <matthewf> ok so i have a serious issue with Ubuntu and this NForce4 Intel Ed system ...
[12:58] <sephzero> it tells me not..
[12:59] <sephzero> but i see the space on my Memory Stick..is about 570MB..it should be around 1,1GB
[12:59] <mc__> sethk: well im not sure,cause netbsd does not support softupdates
[12:59] <mc__> or it did not support them when i was using it
[12:59] <sethk> mc__, didn't know that, I'll have to look more carefully then
[12:59] <matthewf> compleate keyboard and mouse lockup, clock in top right has stoped, but the power button menu still works ..
[12:59] <sethk> fuoco, that's installing ubuntu, not debian?
[12:59] <matthewf> anyone have any ideas what that means ?
[12:59] <nozorro> sephzero now we're going to use the destructive 'rm' command. it always deletes forever, so be careful: 'rm /media/psp/filename' -- tell me about any errors
[01:00] <sethk> marshall_, there are several strange things going on in your paste
[01:00] <sephzero> i've tried it..
[01:00] <sephzero> it seems to remove..
[01:00] <sephzero> but
[01:00] <sethk> marshall_, the dbus stuff looks like the install didn't complete, or some part of the corba bus isn't there or isn't configured
[01:00] <marshall_> sethk: yeah like that thing about my gtk engine "rezlooks"
[01:00] <Ally0S0> Tika: Have a look at the GDM section http://www.xfce.org/index.php?page=documentation&lang=en#install
[01:00] <sephzero> the space on memory stick does not change
[01:00] <matthewf> anyone ?
[01:00] <fuoco> sethk: yeah, ubuntu dapper alternative install cd
[01:00] <Ally0S0> Might help?
[01:01] <sethk> fuoco, ok, I haven't seen that one
[01:01] <kylep> Hello all - im new to ubuntu... is there any software available that is basicly a keylogger? a few people have access locally to the desktop here, and im trying to find something that will log keystrokes
[01:01] <nozorro> sephzero, maybe it's a FAT problem, but let's go step by step ...
[01:01] <sethk> fuoco, ah, but you have no network
[01:01] <Cillian> Ok, figured it out
[01:01] <sethk> fuoco, so you can't download anything
[01:01] <marshall_> sethk: what do you think i should do?
[01:01] <Cillian> Just patched /etc/init.d/gdm to start the patch
[01:01] <mc__> kylep: apt-cache search keylogger
[01:01] <fuoco> sethk: well if i continue it just fails on any package
[01:01] <Tika> Ally0S0, thanks. Firefox is killingthismachine so i am appreciative of a diret link :)
[01:01] <Cillian> Though this means suspend won't work :(
[01:01] <nozorro> sephzero, do you have a directory where we can test deletion?
[01:01] <philo23> magus_x: its relitivly new, 2005, HP
[01:01] <bruenig> !xmacro
[01:01] <ubotu> xmacro: Record / Play keystrokes and mouse movements in X displays. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3pre-20000911-4 (dapper), package size 18 kB, installed size 96 kB
[01:01] <fuoco> sethk: yeah that's exactly the thing - so i can't install at all without network ?
[01:01] <matthewf> are there any known issues with linux and nf4 intel ?
[01:01] <rocco> guys, i need some desperate help here. i've got a job interview tomorrow, and i have this project i'm working on. a new dynamic content website. i'm having trouble making it accessible on the outside. can you this URL? http://freeculture.homelinux.org
[01:02] <sethk> marshall_, that's causing the segv, I'm sure, but it's inside the vm, I think
[01:02] <bruenig> kylep, xmacro appears to be what you want, I have never used it but from its description
[01:02] <Ally0S0> Tika: Skip to about half way down the page. Don't know if it's relevant?
[01:02] <marshall_> sethk: lol ok
[01:02] <marshall_> sethk: im not sure what youre saying
[01:02] <kylep> bruenig: thank you, im guessing i can just download it from package manager?
[01:03] <sethk> fuoco, I'm not certain with dapper.  Does dapper have an expert option, like breezy did?  if so, you can probably install a minimal system
[01:03] <sephzero> i've just tried this
[01:03] <sephzero> rm -r /media/psp/.Trash-sephzero
[01:03] <sethk> fuoco, but another distro is going to be a lot easier.
[01:03] <bruenig> kylep, yeah from synaptic assuming you have enabled the extra repositories
[01:03] <sephzero> now if i do another time ls /media/psp/
[01:03] <bruenig> rocco, I can't get it to load
[01:03] <fuoco> sethk: hmm. i see
[01:03] <sethk> marshall_, I'm saying it's such a low level basic error that I can't say anything intelligent about it
[01:03] <sephzero> it tell me that the .Trash-sephzero folder is not there anymore..
[01:03] <dojo> hello,im trying to install ndiswrapper but when  i type sudo make the eror comes up:
[01:03] <dojo> make -C driver
[01:03] <dojo> make[1] : Entering directory `/home/dojo/Desktop/ndiswrapper-1.23/driver'

[01:03] <dojo> make[1] : Leaving directory `/home/dojo/Desktop/ndiswrapper-1.23/driver'make: *** [all]  Error 2
[01:03] <sephzero> now i unplug my psp connection..and check the free space on memory stick :)
[01:03] <nozorro> sephzero, let me explain step by step pls
[01:04] <dojo> sorrey that was a mistake i promise
[01:04] <rocco> bruenig, it's just so weird!
[01:04] <fuoco> Flannel: what do you mean ?
[01:04] <sephzero> ok :)
[01:04] <marshall_> sethk: lol i dont get it
[01:04] <sethk> marshall_, It's looking for something and it can't find it, but I don't know enough about the internals of mono to know more than that
[01:04] <mc__> !pastebin > dojo
[01:04] <Flannel> fuoco: you wanted a minimal system, right?
[01:04] <sephzero> 556MB..the same :(
[01:04] <rocco> i mean, i'm using this router with ubuntu
[01:04] <marshall_> sethk: ohh
[01:04] <kylep> bruenig: synaptic doesnt find anything for xmacro
[01:04] <fuoco> Flannel: no, i want to install without network
[01:04] <marshall_> sethk: so its mono?
[01:04] <nozorro> sephzero, but wait ... how large was the original file you deleted?
[01:04] <matthewf> um my ubnutu system has compleatly died.. anyone able to help... kinda need it :(
[01:04] <rocco> and i can oing everybody on the outside, but they can't reach me!!!
[01:04] <sephzero> it was a .avi film..
[01:04] <rocco> ping
[01:05] <sephzero> about 738MB
[01:05] <Ally0S0> matthewf: whats the problem>
[01:05] <sethk> marshall_, yes, that much we can see from the output, but you'll need someone who knows more about mono than I do to go any further with it
[01:05] <Flannel> fuoco: oh.  sethk gave you an odd answer for that then, sorry.  I inferred too much I suppose.
[01:05] <bruenig> kylep follows these instructions on how to enable extra repos, make sure you hit reload or whatever amounts to it then search again https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#head-5bbef89639d9a7d93fe38f6356dc17847d373096
[01:05] <DebnuB> Hi everyone. Having problems configuring my network. nslookup, ping, siynaptic work fine. No www or chat. any help?
[01:05] <mcphail> rocco: have you set up port forwarding on your router?
[01:05] <fuoco> Flannel: we just don't know if it's possible
[01:05] <ocelot_> Everyone: does anyone know how to do a non-graphic install of dapper? seems like all the nice boxes and stuff slows my computer way too much....
[01:05] <Flannel> fuoco: sure it's possible.  why wouldn't it be?
[01:05] <Flannel> ocelot_: get the alternate ISO
[01:05] <bruenig> !alternate > ocelot_
[01:05] <sethk> Flannel, I was saying that in expert mode it's possible to install a minimal system without the network
[01:06] <ocelot_> thanks!
[01:06] <fuoco> Flannel: well, it fails
[01:06] <Flannel> sethk: er, in all modes its possible to install a full system without the network
[01:06] <nozorro> sephzero, be patient pls. pls unmount the usb stick by selecting on the desktop /in file manager window, and then 'Eject' or 'Unmount'
[01:06] <Ally0S0> sethk: I've done a dapper install with no network
[01:06] <rocco> yeah i think so. i mean i tried using dhcp, but it wouldn't resolve hostnames that way. so i switched ti static ip, and configure static routing in the router
[01:06] <nocti> why is hotplug not in dapper but it is on breezy?
[01:06] <sethk> Flannel, possible, sure, but not easy
[01:06] <matthewf> Ally0S0: system locks up, mouse/keys dont work ..clock in top right is stopped, however the power button menu thing showed up when i hit the power button
[01:06] <sephzero> ok wait :
[01:06] <Flannel> sethk: just normal install will do it.
[01:06] <nozorro> sephzero, right mouse button
[01:06] <mcphail> rocco: that is not the same as port forwarding
[01:06] <sethk> Flannel, ok, try to talk him through it, then
[01:06] <Flannel> It only checks the net/repositories for new versions, all the stuff is on the CDs
[01:06] <kylep> bruenig: thank you :)
[01:06] <fuoco> Ally0S0, Flannel, sethk: maybe with the livecd can while the alternate can't ?
[01:06] <matthewf> Ally0S0: and the hard drive light is flashing every so often.. like a few mins or so apart
[01:06] <bruenig> np
[01:06] <rocco> mcphail: so how do i go about doing that?
[01:07] <Ally0S0> mathewf: does happen after reboot?
[01:07] <woodgrain> I can't find my video hardware in the dpkg-reconfigure options--can I add others?
[01:07] <sethk> fuoco, I don't know, I've done it with breezy and the cd layout is different
[01:07] <sephzero> did it..
[01:07] <sephzero> wait!
[01:07] <matthewf> Ally0S0: this is with the system about 10 mins into running from a warm boot
[01:07] <mcphail> rocco: you need to go to your router's configuration page and ask it to forward port 80 to your server's IP address. The technique will vary from router to router
[01:07] <nozorro> sephzero, now unplug and then reinsert the stick, an icon should appear on the desktop, does it?
[01:07] <sephzero> i have to pres right button on PSP ?
[01:07] <sethk> fuoco, but even if it is possible, it's not the best choice for installing without a network
[01:07] <Ally0S0> mathewf: So it works ok for about 10 minutes?
[01:07] <Flannel> fuoco: no, the alternate ISO is better suited to install from just the CD
[01:07] <sephzero> it has not unmount :(
[01:08] <matthewf> Ally0S0: yep.. seems to
[01:08] <nozorro> sephzero, you can get to the menu by pressing RH button on the PSP icon, the select Eject
[01:08] <sephzero> pressed eject:)
[01:08] <sephzero> did it
[01:08] <rocco> mcphail: but what about people not being able to even ping me from the outside? is it for the same reason???
[01:08] <matthewf> Ally0S0: that sound like a system problem or a OS problem to you ..?
[01:08] <Ally0S0> mathewf: Had any issues with CPU temperature?
[01:08] <nozorro> sephzero, unplug and reinster
[01:08] <sephzero> did it
[01:08] <TBNolan> Goshdarnit, i did the apt-get install tcltls and i still get the error 'cannot find TCL on this machine'
[01:08] <TBNolan> :-(
[01:08] <philo23> magus_x: any ideas then?
[01:09] <TBNolan> so frusterated
[01:09] <mcphail> rocco: your router will be set to not respond to pings
[01:09] <nozorro> sephzero do you now see the icon on the desktop?
[01:09] <sethk> rocco, no, most likely ping responses are turned off in the router
[01:09] <sephzero> yes :)
[01:09] <rocco> thanks a lot. really. one last thing guys,
[01:09] <nozorro> sephzero, check how much free space is on the device, double-click to open, and look in the status line at the bottom
[01:09] <sethk> rocco, or they could be turned off anywhere between the router and wherever the ping attempt is
[01:10] <Ally0S0> Mathewf: Had problems with CPU temperature?
[01:10] <sephzero> ubuntu tells me 1,1GB
[01:10] <sephzero> but Memory Stick on PSP tells me 556MB
[01:10] <kylep> bruenig: after installing the xmacro package, how do you access it?
[01:10] <matthewf> Ally0S0: its a Prescott(PressHot heh) 3.2Ghz ... idle temp in bios is 46deg C
[01:10] <jrib> TBNolan: did you get sudo apt-get build-dep eggdrop to work yet?
[01:10] <rocco> what do you think is the problem with dhcp with the router? if i enable it, i can't reach anything. no DNS, nothing. can't even ping adrresses like i normally would
[01:10] <bruenig> kylep, might be command line only I am afraid. Try opening up the terminal and typing xmacro
[01:10] <TBNolan> nay
[01:11] <jrib> TBNolan: do you know what you need to change in your sources.list?
[01:11] <nozorro> sephzero: well, how much space is the stick supposed to have?
[01:11] <sephzero> 1,1GB
[01:11] <sethk> rocco, do ifconfig, paste the results
[01:11] <TBNolan> just uncomment them
[01:11] <mcphail> rocco: i think you need to take some time to read your router's manual. At least you have static assignment working.
[01:11] <Ally0S0> mathewf: You try ctrl - alt - F1, or is the system totally locked up?
[01:11] <jrib> TBNolan: ok
[01:11] <sethk> rocco, after getting config info from the router
[01:11] <TBNolan> is that correct?
[01:11] <nozorro> sephzero, any files still to be seen in the file manager?
[01:11] <TBNolan> is it a good idea to uncomment them all, jrib?
[01:11] <matthewf> Ally0S0: the Northbridge  heatsink on the mobo is to hot to touch for any more then a few seconds tho .. but i think thats normal for NF4 Intel Edition
[01:11] <Atrio05> jrib: ok i got gnome baker installed but now when i try to drag an mp3 into the audio cd list it says : The plugin to handle a file of type audio/mpeg is not installed.
[01:11] <sephzero> the folder .Trash-sephzero is not showed..
[01:12] <philo23> ubuntu seems to restart as soon as it booted the kernel on the install cd, any ideas?
[01:12] <jrib> TBNolan: I don't know what is in your sources.list so I can't really tell you
[01:12] <jrib> TBNolan: deb-src for main and universe should be ok
[01:12] <nozorro> sephzero, forget about this one for now, i'm going to explian this later!
[01:12] <Ally0S0> mathewf: When it freezes can you open terminal etc?
[01:12] <sephzero> uhm
[01:12] <sephzero> are u here tomorrow?
[01:12] <sephzero> i should go to sleep :(
[01:12] <woodgrain> !resolution > woodgrain
[01:12] <nozorro> sephzero, have you finally deleted the files or not?
[01:12] <sephzero> my brothers is spankin me to go to sleep -.-
[01:13] <ocelot_> !alternate
[01:13] <ubotu> The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-installation CD, with no live session. Use this if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an expert install.
[01:13] <jrib> Atrio05: I think gnomebaker uses gstreamer0.8-mad
[01:13] <matthewf> Ally0S0: cant do nothing ..
[01:13] <matthewf> Ally0S0: apart from bring up the power button menu by pressing the power buttion on front of system
[01:13] <Ally0S0> mathewf: If you boot from a live CD does ur system still crash?
[01:13] <sephzero> i have to go :( see u later ok? and tnx for your help :)
[01:13] <sephzero> byebye!!! ^_^
[01:13] <Atrio05> jrib: so i have to downlod that through synaptic right?
[01:13] <nozorro> sephzero, one second, the Trash dir. holds any files you move to the trash on the device using the file manager ...
[01:13] <Negima> For some reason apache isnt showing php errors on my webpages, does anyone know how to get them to show?
[01:14] <sephzero> yes nozorro
[01:14] <jrib> Atrio05: yes
[01:14] <Breetai> Hey all, I want to burn an audio cd from mp3's with gnomebaker but it complains of a missing plugin,  anyone know how to fix this?
[01:14] <overridden> sephzero: read /etc/php/php.ini
[01:14] <matthewf> Ally0S0: well i booted the live cd, and did an install.. no werid behaviour
[01:14] <nozorro> sephzero, and you can then delete them from the desktop, clearing the Trash
[01:14] <Atrio05> jrib: ok thanx agian
[01:14] <kylep> hmm
[01:14] <sephzero> but the trash dir is not showed using the file manager
[01:14] <sephzero> ok :)
[01:14] <sephzero> i'll try it
[01:14] <sephzero> tnx
[01:14] <philo23> can someone please help me?
[01:14] <sephzero> BYE! :D
[01:14] <nozorro> sephzero, yes it is deliberately hidden ...
[01:14] <Ally0S0> mathewf: Hmm.. seems to be a strange one
[01:15] <nozorro> sephzero, because it's trash after all
[01:15] <overridden> woeps
[01:15] <matthewf> Ally0S0: the only stablity testing i can do without installing windows is memtest .. ill try that
[01:15] <Cillian> Anybody know a way I can get a command to be run before suspend resumes my whole system??
[01:15] <nozorro> sephzero, but you can configure the file manager to delete files right away ...
[01:15] <ladydoor> !anyone
[01:15] <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?
[01:15] <overridden> Negima: : read /etc/php/php.ini
[01:15] <TBNolan> hmm, jrib: could not open file /var/lib/apt/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_dapper_universe_sources_Sources
[01:15] <TBNolan> i suck
[01:15] <Ally0S0> mathewf: Yeah that would be useful.
[01:15] <nozorro> sephzero, bypsassing the trash
[01:15] <philo23> can someone please help me?
[01:15] <Atrio05> jrib: i already have that installed on my system but gnomebaker still says that
[01:15] <ladydoor> !anyone
[01:16] <matthewf> Ally0S0: may also try installing windows to and run Prime or something
[01:16] <Atrio05> jrib: do i have to enable it in gnomebaker
[01:16] <Negima> overridden: thanks, i thought i had enabled it there, ill recheck. Is it enabled anywhere else?
[01:16] <ladydoor> philo23: it's better to just ask your question. nobody knows whether they can help you until you ask your specific question
[01:16] <philo23> ladydoor: i have, twice
[01:16] <kuribas> Is it possible to install ubuntu without burning a cd?
[01:16] <eonox> how can i cd to a directory that contains a space?
[01:16] <Ally0S0> mathewf: U want to definitely make sure it's not hardware related. Then we can narrow the problem down a bit.
[01:17] <overridden> yes kuribas
[01:17] <NickGarvey> eonox: put it in "
[01:17] <viator> install over the network
[01:17] <NickGarvey> eonox: or, put a \ before the space
[01:17] <ladydoor> philo23: ah. then probably, nobody knows the answer or they're looking for it
[01:17] <mcphail> eonox: or use tab completion to do it for you
[01:17] <overridden> kuribas: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=527919a42c5acdf1b1f5eea4d17bac64&t=28948
[01:17] <kuribas> viator: is that documented?
[01:17] <matthewf> Ally0S0: ill do one or two passes of memtest, then maybe install winbloze heh see if it locks up there
[01:17] <philo23> ladydoor: just thort it might be a bit annoying if i keep asking the question
[01:17] <ladydoor> philo23: yeah.......
[01:17] <eonox> ok thanks
[01:18] <mcphail> philo23: it is best to wait 20 minutes or so between asking questions to allow new people with new ideas to see it
[01:18] <tim> can someone help me uninstall every version of java on my server?
[01:18] <kylep> ddddd

[01:19] <overridden> what's your question philo23
[01:19] <philo23> overridden: ubuntu seems to restart as soon as it booted the kernel on the install cd, any ideas?
[01:19] <nahoj> anyone having troubles with the "applications"-menu "flickering" in edgy?
[01:19] <Negima> overridden: I dont have an /etc/php folder, but two, one called /etc/php4 and one called /etc/php5 , could this be the problem?
[01:20] <exs> hello. what gnome version do I have?.. and if it's old, how do I update?
[01:20] <overridden> no, just go /etc/php5/php.ini
[01:20] <Cillian> apt-get update, apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ?
[01:20] <mcphail> philo23: with regards to you problem, have you tried booting with DMA, ACPI, APIC disabled?
[01:20] <nozorro> exs: see System > About Gnome
[01:20] <overridden> not really philo23, sry
[01:20] <Cillian> (r.e. exs)
[01:20] <viator> philo cd is corrupt
[01:20] <viator> or even the iso
[01:20] <viator> md5 them both
[01:21] <kromel> okay, I thought I installed the codecs, but my avi looks all scrambled.
[01:21] <kylep> does or has anyone here use xmacro?
[01:21] <livingdaylight> anyone know about libxslt-dev?
[01:21] <livingdaylight> needed for enlightenment e17 but its not in repos
[01:22] <exs> nozorro:  Cillian 2.14.3
[01:22] <viator> philo23 check the cdrom integrity
[01:22] <philo23> mcphail: is that in the bios?
[01:22] <exs> this is an older version I am sure..
[01:22] <philo23> viator: have twice on both cds
[01:22] <nozorro> exs:, not really old
[01:22] <mcphail> philo23: no, you should be able to pass the options at the boot prompt from the CD
[01:22] <viator> philo23 maybe its the iso?
[01:23] <exs> nozorro:  i thought there was 2.16
[01:23] <philo23> viator: on both alternate + live cd?
[01:23] <mcphail> philo23: it is soooo long since i installed from CD that i can't remember how you do it
[01:23] <nozorro> exs, if you want to upgrade, you'd have to wait for the next version of Ubuntu
[01:23] <viator> i had a corrpupt iso twice
[01:23] <viator> and i tried everything
[01:23] <exs> oh
[01:23] <philo23> mcphail: ok thanks i'll check the options at the bottom next time i try
[01:23] <viator> and it only worked after i redownloaded the think
[01:23] <exs> nozorro:  when is edgy eft expected to be completed fully?
[01:23] <Negima> overridden: thankyou, i just realised its under html errors, i have to enable them
[01:23] <nozorro> exs, you can upgrade to the development version, but that's a different story
[01:23] <philo23> viator: i'll redownload it tonight and try tomorrow
[01:24] <Atrio05> does anyone know why my gnomebaker is not allowing me to drag and drop mp3's into the audio cd list i get this error: The plugin to handle a file of type audio/mpeg is not installed.
[01:24] <nozorro> exs, Oct i guess, look at the home page for the release schedule
[01:24] <Ally0S0> Atrio05: Can you play mp3s ok?
[01:24] <Atrio05> yes with xmms
[01:24] <viator> n run an md5sum on the iso
[01:24] <nozorro> exs, anyway, the differences between gnome 2.14 and 2.16 are not that bit after all, don't expect too much
[01:25] <philo23> viator: i have done that twice
[01:25] <viator> philo23 run an md5sum on the iso
[01:25] <exs> it's ok i wont bother
[01:25] <kylep> dddddd
[01:25] <viator> if it came up fine the%C1it probabl isnt thaat
[01:25] <nozorro> exs, ... unless you need a specific feature of the newest GNOME release
[01:26] <viator>  boot with vga or "safe graphics" mode
[01:26] <nozorro> exs, plus, the new gnome is still somewhat in development (though finishing)
[01:26] <philo23> viator: i have tried safemode, what is VGA?
[01:26] <Ally0S0> Atrio05: Do you have gstreamer0.8-mad and gstreamer0.8-lame installed?
[01:26] <exs> nah it's ok
[01:26] <Atrio05> Ally0S0: no just mad
[01:27] <ladydoor> Atrio05: are you running gnomebaker with gksudo?
[01:27] <Atrio05> Ally0S0: let me get the other and see if that helps
[01:27] <charims> Hi everyone i am using Kubuntu, i have an ongoing sound problem, but it seems to be getting better, i still need help though. All of my info is here, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22022               Note: the only things i can get to make sound are Gaim, and Amarok (though it freezes right after trying)
[01:28] <Atrio05> ladydoor: no how do i do that and what does it do?
[01:28] <ladydoor> charims: you might check out #kubuntu if you think it's a problem with KDE
[01:28] <nozorro> exs, yep -- or install the ubuntu development version alongside your current one, on a different partition. but there's no guarantee that e.g. your boot mechanism won't be damaged ...
[01:28] <ladydoor> Atrio05: <alt>f2, type gksudo gnomebaker, hit <enter>
[01:28] <Crilen> Guess no one bothers with postfix courier and mysql lol. Not hard to understand, the setup never seems to work properly lol, thanks anyways Ubuntu. Back to windows for me
[01:28] <charims> im at both places, i'm having trouble getting help
[01:28] <ladydoor> Atrio05: and it allows you to run as root
[01:28] <crouchingmonkey> quick question: are creative soundblaster live cards ubuntu friendly??
[01:28] <ladydoor> Atrio05: which is necessary to burn a cd
[01:28] <exs> nozorro:  nah it's fine
[01:28] <ladydoor> Atrio05: though in my experience you need to do sudo from a terminal in order to use gnomebaker
[01:28] <ladydoor> Atrio05: (sudo gnomebaker)
[01:29] <matthewf> holy crap the NB heatsink is hot on this thing
[01:29] <eod_punk> hello all
[01:29] <Ally0S0> mathewf: lol
[01:29] <philo23> viator: i'll be right back i'm just trying it out
[01:30] <matthewf> Ally0S0: seems its ment to be finger burning hot but still, its a little disconcerting
[01:30] <zoredache> is the ubuntu version of 'adduser' not supposed to prompt you for a username"  whenever I run '/usr/sbin/adduser' I get 'adduser: Only one or two names allowed.'
[01:30] <Ally0S0> Atrio05: Any joy?
[01:30] <matthewf> Ally0S0: memtest is 72% done first pass with no errors ..
[01:32] <_root> hello
[01:32] <ladydoor> zoredache: don't you just do "sudo adduser username"
[01:32] <ladydoor> ?
[01:32] <Atrio05> Ally0S0: no i could not find the lame plugin
[01:32] <_root> I get OAFIID:GNOME error messages that remove things from my panel. How do I deal with that?
[01:32] <dbe> Hi ladydoor!
[01:32] <ladydoor> dbe: oh, hello
[01:32] <charims> Hi everyone i am using Kubuntu, i have an ongoing sound problem, but it seems to be getting better, i still need help though. All of my info is here, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22022               Note: the only things i can get to make sound are Gaim, and Amarok (though it freezes right after trying). I am currently searching for help here and at the Kubuntu channel, and both the kubuntu forums and ubuntu forums, i have been dealing with this problem for a
[01:33] <coolnerd> why is it a good idea to run httpd as nobody?  Does that restrict httpd from doing root level access?
[01:33] <dbe> coolnerd, You run it as www-data, right?
[01:34] <zoredache> ladydoor, I have a script that calls 'sudo /usr/sbin/adduser'  That i previously used on my debian system...  adduser would ask the user for the username...
[01:34] <coolnerd> what do you mean dbe?
[01:34] <woodgrain> how do I know if I'm running Xfree86 or X11?
[01:34] <viator> charims do you have more than one user on your system
[01:34] <Flannel> woodgrain: are you running ubuntu?
[01:34] <zoredache> I was expecting it to work the same on Ubuntu....  I see the section in the adduser script where it should be prompting the user
[01:34] <charims> no, just one
[01:34] <woodgrain> Flannel, yes
[01:34] <Flannel> woodgrain: you're running xorg then
[01:34] <charims> Viator: no, just one
[01:34] <nozorro> woodgrain: should be visible from the X* logs under /var log
[01:35] <viator> did sound work before?
[01:35] <ladydoor> zoredache: ok, here's a workaround
[01:35] <ladydoor> zoredache: are you currently editing your program?
[01:35] <nozorro> woodgrain, er, /var/log I mean
[01:35] <woodgrain> Flannel, so I'm using xorg, not xf86 then?
[01:35] <Ally0S0> Atrio05: The package is called gstreamer0.10-lame
[01:35] <ladydoor> *script i mean
[01:35] <viator> charims did sound work before?
[01:35] <woodgrain> nozorro, yeah, thanks I'll look there.
[01:35] <ladydoor> zoredache: if not, i guess open it up and go to that poing
[01:35] <ladydoor> zoredache: *point. and let me know when you're ready
[01:36] <zoredache> I am there...
[01:36] <charims> no, this was a fresh install of Kubuntu, never installed iit b4
[01:36] <Flannel> woodgrain: right.  Er, I think maybe warty still ran xf86, but ubuntu has been on xorg since Hoary at least
[01:36] <Atrio05> Ally0S0: no luck finding that in synaptic either
[01:37] <JollyJester> Hey, can anyone help me mount my windows XP partion to ubuntu? I've tried the guide but I couldn't get it to work
[01:37] <woodgrain> Flannel, thanks I remember some painfully long nights with xf86 ... it's ingrained in my brain.
[01:37] <ladydoor> zoredache: ok, before the line where you do "sudo /usr/sbin/adduser," add a couple lines that say this:
[01:37] <kr4z> anybody know how I can play realplayer streams without realplayer?
[01:37] <Flannel> woodgrain: so, if youre running warty (apart from being unsupported), youre runnin xfree, but not otherwise
[01:37] <kyle_> quick question - during the ubuntu install why doesnt it ask to set a root password?
[01:37] <Flannel> kyle_: because ubuntu doesn't have a root account
[01:37] <Flannel> !tell kyle_ about root
[01:37] <kyle_> yu
[01:37] <woodgrain> Flannel, yeah I upgraded to dapper today thinking it would bring with it a fix to my video resolution ... but apparently it didn't!
[01:37] <kyle_> ty
[01:37] <Flannel> kyle_: we use sudo instead.  Read the links ubotu sent you for more informatin
[01:38] <ladydoor> zoredache: echo "Please enter new username."
[01:38] <viator> ok so you hear system sounds but nothing else
[01:38] <ladydoor> zoredache: read $username01
[01:38] <[matrix] > hello all
[01:38] <ladydoor> zoredache: wait
[01:38] <dbe> ladydoor, Why don't I see you in #gnu?
[01:38] <charims> no, no system notifications, just gaim, and one file in amarok before it freezes
[01:38] <ladydoor> zoredache: actually that should be "read username01"
[01:38] <stray77> jolly, what partition is xp on?
[01:39] <JollyJester> hda1
[01:39] <JollyJester> it's ntfs
[01:39] <ladydoor> zoredache: and then change your "sudo /usr/sbin/addusr" line to "sudo /usr/sbin/adduser $username01"
[01:39] <[matrix] > isn't this channel moderateD?
[01:39] <Abst> mumbles: moo?
[01:39] <zoredache> ladydoor: I wanted to avoid doing a read because I wanted to avoid doing the input santization.  I don't want a user to put in  something like username && rm -rf / into the username filed
[01:39] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[01:39] <stray77> jolly, sudo mkdir /mnt/ntfs
[01:39] <stray77> then
[01:39] <zoredache> field8
[01:39] <ladydoor> zoredache: oh. well sorry, i don't know
[01:39] <charims> Viator:no, no system notifications, just gaim, and one file in amarok before it freezes
[01:39] <stray77> sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/ntfs
[01:39] <stray77> thats it

[01:59] <Bot_Builder> can I make my home directory a fat32 partition?  I want to share stuff with windows

[01:59] <spc> hi all - almost got my sandboxed xampp / wordpress installs working, but I run into a permissions error when I go to import:
[01:59] <Ally0S0> Atrio05: try: sudo apt-get update
[01:59] <spc> Unable to create directory /opt/lampp/htdocs/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2006/08. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
[01:59] <Bot_Builder> though all the .blah directorys would be annoying
[01:59] <Atrio05> Ally0S0: ok
[01:59] <spc> I'm an ubuntu newbie, and don't know how to fix this.
[02:00] <Ally0S0> Atrio05: try: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-lame
[02:00] <spc> I tried 'sudo chown -R step:step wordpress' but it didn't seem to work.  and I don't even know how to check what permissions are set.
[02:01] <mcphail> Bot_Builder: you can't use fat32 as your $HOME without running into problems
[02:01] <Atrio05> Ally0S0: i got the same error
[02:01] <Bot_Builder> mcphail - alright
[02:01] <Abst> !foo > Abst
[02:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about foo - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:01] <Bot_Builder> can I mount a fat32 partition into my home/name directory with full permissions?
[02:02] <charims> Jack_sparrow: No changes in sound
[02:02] <mcphail> Bot_Builder: you can ount it anywhere you like. FAT32 does not support permissions, of course.
[02:02] <Atrio05> Ally0S0: any other ideas
[02:02] <Ally0S0> Atrio05: sudo aptitude install lame
[02:02] <slackgen> So.. can anyone tell me what /etc/modules.conf is in ubuntu?
[02:03] <Abst> !repeat
[02:03] <ubotu> Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly, if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[02:03] <Bot_Builder> oh.  Huh, well, when I mess with mnt/shared sometimes I need to sudo to say, delete a folder
[02:03] <slackgen> Abst, was that to me?
[02:03] <Abst> Yes
[02:03] <slackgen> I'm sorry.
[02:03] <mcphail> Bot_Builder: iirc, i think that is down to the umask which is set in /etc/fstab
[02:03] <now3d> ladydoor: great, thanks for the mozex tip!
[02:03] <Jack_Sparrow> charims: No idea on how to fix it then
[02:03] <Bot_Builder> mcphail - ah, that would explain that
[02:04] <slackgen> I'll go ask someone in a debian
[02:04] <Jack_Sparrow> Does it work running the livecd?
[02:04] <ladydoor> now3d: np...now if only it would work in Conkeror!
[02:04] <lastnode> mcphail-, thank for the formatting info the other day. gave that machine in, got my new one. :)
[02:04] <ladydoor> now3d: (another extension)
[02:04] <charims> Jack_sparrow: Ok, thankyou
[02:04] <Jack_Sparrow> Does it work running the livecd?
[02:04] <now3d> ladydoor: let me guess... does it integrate with Konqueror browser?
[02:04] <mcphail> lastnode: good stuff :)
[02:05] <Atrio05> Ally0S0: ok i now get this : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22103

[02:06] <Cymage> I am looking for an internal mini pci that auto configures. tired of fighting ndiswrapper

[02:07] <GreenCult> hi all
[02:07] <Ally0S0> Atrio05: I'm going to have to get some sleep. Sorry I could not fix your problem. Ask again I'm sure someone smarter than me can get it fixed for you :)
[02:07] <ladydoor> hello, greencult
[02:07] <charims> Jack_Sparrow: ok, wasn't sure if you were asking someone else, nope, didn't work then either
[02:07] <Atrio05> Ally0S0; ok thanx for the help
[02:10] <spc> hey, my sql server / wordpress install can't write to the set of directories it's in.  how do I investigate?
[02:10] <GreenCult> hi lady
[02:10] <ladydoor> spc: what directories are they?
[02:10] <Cymage> That has no recommendations for cards. I am just asking if anybody has any specific internal cards that are auto configured on install
[02:11] <Atrio05> Can anyone help me with gnomebaker? i am currently unable to drag and drop an mp3 file into it i get this error: The plugin to handle a file of type audio/mpeg is not installed.  Any Help?
[02:11] <mcphail> Cymage: if you are in the UK, i think the linuxemporium site has linux-friendly cards
[02:11] <Cymage> us
[02:11] <nalioth> !ubotu tell Atrio05 about mp3
[02:12] <mcphail> Cymage: the problem is that the brand and model number of the card doesn't always tell you which chip is inside
[02:12] <Cymage> prefer something with prism 2, i know they auto configure
[02:12] <Tomtheman70> I'm trying to install JRE and the JDK on my xubuntu machine, can someone help me through the steps?
[02:12] <Cymage> i know. mine is a broadcom and not having much luck getting it configured
[02:13] <Flannel> !tell Tomtheman70 about java
[02:13] <owh> Greetings all. I have a hot swappable drive under Dapper which isn't being recognised. It appears as if the 2.6.17 kernel will support it with a patch, but I'm loathe to install a kernel from kernel.org, seeing that Ubuntu has all manner of patches and I've got an nVidia card, so lots of dependencies. Any suggestions?
[02:13] <GreenCult> i was install my printer.. a canon i250.. y need to install a package.. the xlibs.. but this package isn't on my sourlist
[02:13] <mcphail> Cymage: you'll need to find a friendly and understanding computer store who'll let you try the card
[02:13] <GreenCult> where can i to down this xlibs??
[02:14] <Cymage> thanks anyway
[02:14] <Dr_Willis> GreenCult,  trying to install cedega?

[02:14] <cafuego> Cymage: If it's 4306 or 4318 they'll work fin with a small amount of tweaking. Check the wiki for 'bmc43xx'.
[02:14] <GreenCult> with cedega??
[02:14] <kishore> hi
[02:14] <cafuego> Or not
[02:14] <mcphail> cafuego: :)
[02:15] <Dr_Willis> ok a printer.. xlibs is an outdated package. its included with somthing allready. so   their dpkgs are wrong. You can find the package somewhere else i recall. or edit the deb file and remove the dependency on it.
[02:15] <cafuego> GreenCult: You can't. The cedega package is broken (on Ubuntu), it needs to be fixed.
[02:15] <GreenCult> chess
[02:15] <Flannel> !tell owh about kernel
[02:15] <kishore> i hav a problem with mlplayer ..when i am trieng to install it the messeage is Package mplayer has no installation candidate
[02:16] <ladydoor> kishore: have you enabled the universe & multiverse repositories?
[02:16] <GreenCult> cafuego, well how can i get this xlibs??
[02:16] <kishore> how to enable that one
[02:17] <cafuego> GreenCult: You remove it from the cedega depends
[02:17] <kishore> ladydoor, how to enable universe& multiverse repositories
[02:17] <owh> Flannel: Tah, I had read that, but it conveniently states at the bottom: "If you use modules from linux-restricted-modules, you will need to recompile this against your new linux-headers package. Details on how to do this will be added later."
[02:17] <Dr_Willis> GreenCult,  i know the forums mention what todo about the xlibs stuff. or how to edit the .deb so its not needed

[02:18] <kishore> ladydoor, how to enable universe& multiverse repositories
[02:18] <mcquaid> hello, is there anyway possible to get the last update before the latest thats from http://ubuntu.compiz.net ?
[02:18] <ladydoor> !repositories
[02:18] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[02:18] <ladydoor> kishore: that's for you
[02:18] <cafuego> But it would appear the the page with the fix is down
[02:18] <mcquaid> I doubt it, but I'm asking anyway as I'm having an issue with the latest
[02:18] <mcquaid> thats what I dislike about apt, there's no going back
[02:19] <owh> mcquaid: Of course there is, you can specify specific versions and repositories.
[02:19] <looktj> I need to partition my hard drive...to install windows
[02:19] <mcquaid> owh, how can I get a previous version from a specific rep?
[02:19] <slackgen> How do you configure ALSA, when there is no alsaconf?
[02:19] <mcquaid> afaik you can't
[02:19] <kishore> ladydoor, thanku
[02:19] <looktj> what a good partition software in ubuntu?
[02:19] <ladydoor> kishore: np
[02:19] <owh> looktj: I'd suggest installing vmware and running windows inside that.
[02:19] <Dr_Willis> looktj,  just delete the partitions you dont want and fire up the xp cd.
[02:19] <Laser123454321> Hey i require support
[02:19] <NickGarvey> looktj: gparted
[02:19] <ladydoor> looktj: gnomebaker, fdisk
[02:20] <ladydoor> looktj: gparted is what i meant, not gnomebaker
[02:20] <owh> mcquaid: man apt-get
[02:20] <cliffd> can someone tell me how to turn off the powermonnow so It stops scalling my cpu?
[02:20] <Dr_Willis> a Live Cd + Gparted/qtparted/parted - is VERY handy
[02:20] <looktj> im running ubuntu on my whole drive
[02:20] <mcquaid> sigh
[02:20] <Dr_Willis> looktj,  so.. clarify the problem then?
[02:20] <mcquaid> owh, afaik no rep keeps the most recent and one version back
[02:20] <slackgen> looktj, download the gparted livecd to resize your partition
[02:20] <cafuego> GreenCult: http://imexius.blogspot.com/
[02:20] <owh> mcquaid: Seriously, if you do an apt-cache search, locate the package you need, you can install it with apt-get
[02:20] <sethk> looktj, nothing wrong with that.  what do you need to do?
[02:21] <cafuego> GreenCult: Scroll down to "Friday, April 28, 2006" and follow the steps.
[02:21] <Laser123454321> How do i enable support for backlight on a Toshiba Satalite in Ubuntu 6.10?
[02:21] <GreenCult> ok thanks cafuego
[02:21] <mcquaid> owh, not if the rep only provides the latest
[02:21] <Tomtheman70> Quick question, how do I find out what I have installed on my machine. Is there a command that can show me what programs I have installed and what I type to launch programs that I've just installed?
[02:21] <owh> mcquaid: Alternatively download the .deb and install it with dpkg -i, but there is all manner of challenges with that.
[02:21] <looktj> I need to partition the drive to install windows which is dual booting?
[02:21] <owh> mcquaid: Also do a google for debian earlier version
[02:21] <sethk> Tomtheman70, there are several.  synaptic is a good tool
[02:22] <sethk> Tom39Away, it will show you the status of packages, installed, not installed, etc.
[02:22] <sethk> Tom39Away, sorry, wrong tom
[02:22] <owh> Has anyone actually backported the kernel images from edgy anywhere?
[02:22] <sethk> Tomtheman70, you can list installed packages at the command line, etc.
[02:22] <Jack_Sparrow> Tomtheman70:  Use Terminal type dpkg --get-selections > myprog.txt
[02:22] <looktj> do i download gpart?
[02:22] <slackgen> Tomtheman70, you could just go to a terminal and hit alt twice, it will list EVERY program installed
[02:23] <sethk> Tomtheman70, the nice thing about using synaptic is that it has a description of each package rather than just the name
[02:23] <mcphail> mcquaid: most repos hold previous versions of things
[02:23] <Tomtheman70> Thank you thank you and thank you guys.
[02:23] <Jack_Sparrow> looktj:  it should be installed
[02:23] <sethk> slackgen, no, only programs in the execution search path, which is never all installed programs for any particular user
[02:23] <slackgen> Tomtheman70, **TAB twice not alt
[02:23] <owh> slackgen: You mean tab :-)
[02:23] <Tomtheman70> I'm going to use synaptic real quick to see if thats what I'm looking for.
[02:23] <mcquaid> mcphail, ok this is news to me, do you know how to do that with apt?
[02:23] <sean> what is the url for the repositories?
[02:23] <charims> Jack_Sparrow: Are you familiar with aadebug?
[02:23] <mcphail> mcquaid: sudo aptitude package=versionnumber
[02:23] <Jack_Sparrow> no
[02:24] <slackgen> sethk, what would be installed but not in PATH on an ubuntu system?
[02:24] <charims> Jack_Sparrow: It is supposed to find errors in an alsa system, do you think you can look at my outputs?
[02:24] <fnTc^spNk> hello :]

[02:25] <Jack_Sparrow> charims: SOmeone else may be able to help, I have three things in the works as we speak..
[02:25] <charims> Jack_Sparrow: kk, sorry
[02:25] <Dr_Willis> looktj,  you really dont want to run gparted and resize partitions on a running system. thats why a live cd is so handy
[02:25] <Jack_Sparrow> looktj: gksudo gparted
[02:25] <Dr_Willis> looktj,  you cant resize mounted partitions (or at least its a VERY VERY bad idea)
[02:25] <DonkeyCambell> anyone have the url for the repositories?
[02:25] <slackgen> can someone have the bot speak it speal on audio? i forgot what it said
[02:26] <Jack_Sparrow> looktj: Not on MOUNTED partitions..

[02:26] <mcphail> mcquaid: my best advice to you is to downgrade and then disable the compiz repos. They are in a foul state at present.

[02:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about aydui - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[02:27] <Dr_Willis> looktj,  its a little hard to run somthing when you need to unmount /
[02:27] <hoehaver> can someone give me a url to a how-to mount a second hard drive?
[02:27] <looktj> ladydoor its /dev/hda1
[02:27] <Jack_Sparrow> hoehaver: What format on that second drive
[02:27] <mcquaid> mcphail, it's kind of a weird situation, I have an old box with a voodoo3, I added the compriz sources and just grabbed libglmesa and a few others and then had hardware dri working
[02:28] <mcquaid> stupid me I upgraded when there were new ones available, and now the card is giving me issues
[02:28] <hoehaver> um...let me check
[02:28] <ladydoor> looktj: ok, but where is it mounted? seriously, the livecd is your best bet, because it lets you run gparted in an environment where all your partitions are unmounted.
[02:28] <hoehaver> oo no I don't have to :P its fat
[02:28] <hoehaver> sooo vfat I believe
[02:28] <mcquaid> so I'd like to just grab the previous ones and then lock em for the time being

[02:30] <mcphail> mcquaid: having the compiz repos break things which were once stable is not an unusual situation, i'm afraid
[02:30] <looktj> screenshot http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/5664/gpartedbz5.png
[02:31] <mcquaid> mcphail, sorry didn't explain clearly, the v3 has never had hardware gl in dapper, the first time i added the compiz rep is what solved that
[02:31] <mcquaid> so if i go back to the ubuntu sources, I definitely will have no opengl

[02:33] <mcphail> mcquaid: use the syntax i mentioed above if you know the version numbers
[02:34] <mcquaid> I never use aptitude, if I do like so: aptitude libgl1-mesa=6.5.1-cvs20060628 will it just grab that one? or try and grab the others?
[02:34] <nozorro> hoehaver, no necesarily, normally your home directory is *on* your local hard driver
[02:34] <mcquaid> I assume I have to do one at a time but just want to clarify
[02:35] <nozorro> hoehaver, sorry for the typos ...
[02:35] <mcphail> mcquaid: sorry - it is sudo aptitude install package=version (i missed out the install eariler)
[02:35] <sethk> nozorro, home on an nfs server is a common configuration in the unix world
[02:35] <ladydoor> mcquaid: you can install multiple things at once... sudo aptitude install package1 package2 package3
[02:36] <hoehaver> nozorro ok. so if im trying to do something and it says save to my local hard drive...i can just stick it in my home folder?
[02:36] <mcphail> mcquaid: it may or may not grab the others
[02:36] <islan> is it possible to get tv-out mode over an s-vid in ubuntu if your vid-card supports it?
[02:36] <mcquaid> ok thx, I'll give it a try
[02:36] <sethk> hoehaver, sure
[02:36] <TLE> I want to capture tv with a  Hauppauge PVR-150 cardm is there any other way than with MythTV
[02:36] <nozorro> sethk, yeah but probably not but for someone asking a question of this type
[02:36] <hoehaver> ok, thank you.
[02:36] <sethk> nozorro, true
[02:36] <mcquaid> damn. getting Unable to find a version "6.5.1-cvs20060628"
[02:37] <Dr_Willis> TLE,  mythtv is a set of tools. there are stand alone tv 'viewer' programs.  i think vlc and mplayer can both do it also.
[02:37] <TLE> islan: which videocard do you have
[02:37] <swilliamson> anyone have a quick easy way of up0dating my dappers 386 kernel to 686?
[02:37] <mcquaid> TLE, I've been looking for a good vid capture app as well
[02:37] <mcphail> mcquaid: hmm. The compiz repos are "unofficial". Perhaps the maintainer dumps old versions quickly
[02:37] <islan> TLE, nvidia, geforce 5700LE
[02:37] <mcphail> TLE: i think you can use mplayer
[02:38] <mcquaid> mcphail, ya probably
[02:38] <TLE> Dr_Willis: Yeah but the trick is that PVR-150 uses hardware encoding and that seems to be lagging support
[02:38] <mcquaid> I was trying to browse the rep in a browser but can't seem to
[02:38] <mcquaid> I knew I should have locked those files
[02:39] <Dr_Willis> TLE,   Hmm. i was thinking thta was a well supported card.
[02:39] <TLE> I'll have a look at the mplayer homepage, see what I can find
[02:39] <mcphail> mcquaid: check in /var/cache/apt/archives/ in case you still have it
[02:39] <tigerflyer> i have been trying to use apt-get to install mplayer and it keeps saying it can be found... i have all the repositories enabled... so there is no reason that i shouldnt be able to install it
[02:39] <rahsputin>  when using nfs must i include in the client machine a mount point in fstab
[02:40] <mcquaid> mcphail, ya I already checked, I cleared it for space
[02:40] <mcquaid> going to drop that habit
[02:40] <rahsputin> or does anybody know a good source for literature on nfs
[02:40] <mcphail> TLE: there used to be something in the ubuntu mythtv wiki about using mplayer as the capture device
[02:40] <mcphail> mcquaid: :(
[02:40] <mcquaid> heh
[02:40] <Bot_Builder> backing up etc fstab and xorg.conf should be enough right?  those are the only ones i've edited (for a fresh reinstall)
[02:40] <klees> is there a Gnome newsticker like the one in KDE???
[02:40] <mcquaid> anyone use compriz sources and haven't updated yet and keep their archives?
[02:41] <Bot_Builder> I'll just use the fstab for reference, not copy it in, as the partitions will be different
[02:41] <mcquaid> heh ya I know good luck buddy
[02:41] <rnd_null> What is the command to run the setup program for X?
[02:41] <diablo60> Does anyone here know of any good easy to use keyloggers for ubuntu/linux?????
[02:41] <TLE> Dr_Willis: last time I checked I couldn't even see tv with either of the standard tv tools tvtime, and K(de)tv or whatever its name was
[02:41] <mcquaid> well, thx mcphail for the assistance, live and learn
[02:41] <dmsantam> rnd_null dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:41] <madman__> Is there a belarc (system info) like program alternative for ubuntu 6.06 ?
[02:41] <rnd_null> thx
[02:41] <mcphail> mcquaid: i've got the official one installed. Sorry i can't help.
[02:41] <dmsantam> diablo60 why do you need a keylogger
[02:41] <TLE> mcphail: The Ubuntu wiki, subject mythtv ?
[02:42] <TLE> mcphail: I'll have a look
[02:42] <diablo60> dmsantam: my local linux server - i think some things are going on on my workstation that shouldnt be by a few people
[02:42] <mcphail> TLE: this was about a year ago. It might have changed
[02:42] <diablo60> so, i need a logger...
[02:42] <madman__> alternative maybe wroug word here
[02:43] <diablo60> dmsantam: do you know of any? i just want to log any keystrokes on my local workstation
[02:43] <mcphail> diablo60: check their .bash_history
[02:43] <diablo60> mcphail: i need something that logs keystrokes in X/gnome
[02:44] <tigerflyer> anyone know why i cant get mplayer from multiverse even though its enabled
[02:44] <diablo60> mcphail: is there any packages available that will do this for me?
[02:44] <wikityler_cantre> hello. Im having troubble booting off of a 6.06LTS disk. I have tried two disks and both crash midway into the boot, yet when used on a different computer they work. Also, older live cds work (like 5.04). any ideas, thanks!
[02:44] <tigerflyer> diablo60, you could write your own... wouldnt be very hard
[02:44] <gnomefreak> tigerflyer: are you sure you enabled multiver not backports multiverse?
[02:44] <dmsantam> diablo60 sorry, i can never recommend a keylogger. check logs, use other means. keyloggers rarely have a place
[02:44] <Jack_Sparrow> diablo60: Not much call for spware in linux
[02:44] <gnomefreak> multiverse
[02:44] <madman__> tigerflyer: try whereis mplayer in shell
[02:44] <mcphail> diablo60: don't know. apt-cache search throws up "lkl"
[02:44] <diablo60> It has nothing to do with spyware.
[02:45] <rnd_null> Dumb question?  Where do I go to force a video resolution?
[02:45] <mcphail> !info lkl
[02:45] <ubotu> lkl: userspace keylogger for x86 architecture. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1.1-1 (dapper), package size 9 kB, installed size 124 kB (Only available for i386 kfreebsd-i386)
[02:45] <tigerflyer> gnomefreak, hmmmm whats the difference... i used the synaptics software thing to enable it
[02:45] <slackgen> Can someone help me set up an ISA soundcard in ubuntu?
[02:45] <gnomefreak> !fixres > rnd_null
[02:45] <diablo60> people are on my local computer running a desktop GUI, i need to know whats going on while they are online via gui
[02:45] <Jack_Sparrow> diablo60: It is a program you want to use to spy on other users in your system
[02:45] <nozorro> rnd_null, /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:45] <Jack_Sparrow> diablo60: Call it what you want..
[02:46] <gnomefreak> tigerflyer: backports needs ubniverse adn multiverse to work backports are apps from the newer release and multiverse is non-free apps
[02:46] <diablo60> Eh... well i need to know
[02:46] <rnd_null> thx
[02:46] <tigerflyer> madman__, it says /usr/local/etc/mplayer
[02:47] <madman__> tigerflyer: then type mplayer in shell and see if mplayer runs
[02:47] <tigerflyer> madman__,  it doesnt

[02:49] <tigerflyer> madman__,  ive never installed it.... i just tried to compile it from source... but it wouldnt work
[02:49] <gnomefreak> madman__: wouldnt it help if he installed it first
[02:49] <madman__> gnomefreak: sure, why not do that first
[02:49] <madman__> lol
[02:50] <gnomefreak> i dont think he enabled multiverse i think he only enabled backports

[02:53] <gnomefreak> tigerflyer: you see the lines that end in universe?
[02:53] <HeathenDan> hoshiko, go ahead.
[02:53] <goonies> is there anyway of restoring grub if u reinstall windows and it takes over the mbr
[02:53] <goonies> ?
[02:53] <tigerflyer> yep
[02:53] <goonies> i dont want to overwrite my existing ubuntu
[02:53] <goonies> =\
[02:53] <nozorro> new11, are you are developer with experience on other platforms, or just trying to compile some app you need?

[02:54] <gnomefreak> tigerflyer: in terminal type gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:54] <f1assistance> I am using Evolution and wondered what is the best anti-spam software to use?
[02:54] <gnomefreak> tigerflyer: let me know when its open
[02:54] <tigerflyer> open
[02:54] <exs> How do I invert colors in gimp?
[02:54] <Hoshiko> I keep trying to use the Live CD to try out Ubuntu but before the installation completes I get "Buffer I/O Error on device hdc, logical block 25678"
[02:54] <gnomefreak> f1assistance: best i cant give you but good is spamassasin
[02:54] <new11> Also, does Sudo allow root for just ONE command? or does it stay active for a certain time?
[02:54] <UdontKnow> new11: depends on config
[02:54] <gnomefreak> new11: you can get to a root terminal by typing sudo -i
[02:55] <exs> nevermind, found it
[02:55] <f1assistance> gnomefreak: thanks, I will give it a try...
[02:55] <Jack_Sparrow> new11: 10 minutes is default
[02:55] <gnomefreak> new11: not advised in what you are doing atm
[02:55] <nozorro> new11, i think sudo has a certain timeout, limited to the console you're on
[02:55] <Hoshiko> The installation seems to stop at the "Setting up init..." portion
[02:55] <gnomefreak> tigerflyer: is gedit open?
[02:55] <tigerflyer> nano
[02:55] <gnomefreak> Hoshiko: is it the 6.06.1
[02:55] <nozorro> new11, 30 secs i think
[02:55] <gnomefreak> tigerflyer: ok nano is fine
[02:55] <Hoshiko> Yes
[02:56] <Hoshiko> Ubuntu 6.06.1 i3
[02:56] <gnomefreak> tigerflyer: on the lines that end in universe (there are 4 i think) add a space and type multiverse than ctrl+o <enter> ctrl+x
[02:56] <nocti> is there an outlook pst converter to tbird?
[02:56] <gnomefreak> tigerflyer: than run sudo apt-get update than sudo apt-get install mplayer
[02:56] <new11> dddd
[02:56] <new11> brb
[02:57] <gnomefreak> Hoshiko: please file a bug report on it
[02:57] <madman__>  Unofficial Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake) Starter Guide:http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_dapper
[02:57] <Hoshiko> gnomefreak: Will do.  Do you have any suggestions for the interim?
[02:58] <tigerflyer> awesome
[02:58] <tigerflyer> thanks so much gnomefreak
[02:58] <gnomefreak> Hoshiko: use the alternative cd
[02:58] <tigerflyer> worked like a charm
[02:58] <gnomefreak> tigerflyer: yw
[02:58] <mumrah> i just set up German on my ubuntu machine, how do i type umlauts and the B thing?
[02:58] <gnomefreak> madman__: there is a dapper guide official even in the help menu
[02:58] <tigerflyer> seriously thanks a lot
[02:58] <Hoshiko> gnomefreak:  Thank you very much for your help! :-
[02:58] <Jack_Sparrow> Hoshiko: You get to the first grub menu start or install ?
[02:58] <tigerflyer> later
[02:58] <Hoshiko> )
[02:58] <mumrah> do i have to do the alt+0123 thing?
[02:59] <gnomefreak> Jack_Sparrow: if i understood him correctly its a known bug
[02:59] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[02:59] <Hoshiko> Jack Sparrow: grub menu?  The install menu just boots up when I restart my machine with the CD in it.
[02:59] <nozorro> mumrah, select the German keyboard under System > Prefs > Keyboard
[02:59] <new11> gnomefreak: what do i do to set a certain program/process in the background so i can close out of it and still have it run?
[02:59] <Jack_Sparrow> Hoshiko: So you do get to the first menu..
[02:59] <nozorro> mumrah, which alt thing?
[02:59] <madman__> gnomefreak: ty for the tip/
[02:59] <sethk> new11, from the terminal?  control-z
[02:59] <sethk> new11, then bg
[03:00] <sethk> new11, is that what you meant?
[03:00] <gnomefreak> new11:  (eg.) firefox &     type that and it will let firefox run even after closing terminal
[03:00] <mumrah> danke!
[03:00] <Hoshiko> Jack:  I suppose.  This is my first foray into Linux.  I don't know what normal behavior is, where this OS is concerned...
[03:00] <new11> i mean.. from terminal
[03:00] <new11> say i have a program called blah
[03:00] <gnomefreak> new11: blah &
[03:00] <new11> i want it to run in the background
[03:00] <nozorro> mumrah, nix zu danken :-)
[03:00] <sethk> new11, already running, you type control-z
[03:00] <new11> ty :)
[03:00] <sethk> new11, before it starts, whatever&
[03:00] <sethk> new11, jobs -l to list background jobs
[03:01] <Jack_Sparrow> gnomefreak: Is good..  I was asking for my own information.. You do get to a screen that says start or install Ubuntu ?
[03:01] <sethk> new11, if you want it to continue to run even if you close the terminal, use nohup
[03:01] <mumrah> can i switch languages without loging out and back in?
[03:01] <gnomefreak> Jack_Sparrow: on the livecd yep
[03:01] <ladydoor> mumrah: yeah
[03:01] <Hoshiko> Thank you for your help everyone!
[03:01] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[03:01] <ladydoor> mumrah: are you using gnome?
[03:01] <mumrah> yes
[03:01] <new11> cant i just add a "&" after the process start line?
[03:01] <nozorro> mumrah, i don't think so. -- keyboards, yes.
[03:01] <gnomefreak> new11: yes
[03:01] <nino> hi all
[03:02] <new11> or i can ctrl-z?
[03:02] <ladydoor> mumrah: ok, if you right-click on one of your gnome-panels, i think you should be able to add a keyboard configuration applet to it
[03:02] <sethk> new11, yes
[03:02] <ladydoor> mumrah: and then switch at will
[03:02] <sethk> new11, control-z is if you forgot to do the & initially
[03:02] <Jack_Sparrow> Goodnight all
[03:02] <sethk> new11, or intentionally didn't do it, for that matter
[03:02] <gnomefreak> new11: there isnt just one way to do something in linux you have many choices
[03:02] <Hoshiko> By the way, where am I supossed to report the bug?
[03:02] <new11> seth: and once its running in the background, how do i find the process number, and kill it if i choose?
[03:02] <gnomefreak> !bug
[03:02] <ubotu> If you find a bug in Ubuntu, please report it at http://bugs.ubuntu.com
[03:02] <gnomefreak> ^^ Hoshiko
[03:02] <Hoshiko> ^_^
[03:02] <mumrah> thanks!
[03:02] <sethk> new11, jobs -l will lists jobs running in the background
[03:03] <new11> sethk: ty :)
[03:03] <sethk> new11, fg will bring it back into the foreground (bring back the most recent if there is more than one)
[03:03] <nozorro> mumrah, join #ubuntu-de if you like
[03:03] <iliketoprogram> hiya!  with enlightenment, hiya!  can any  of you tell me how i can make it (instead of 2 desktops with 2 screens each) 9 desktops with 4 screens each?
[03:03] <BHSPitLappy> How can I change how often NTP synchronizes with my clock?
[03:03] <spc> ladydoor: for some reason I missed your earlier post.  anyway, fixed now (sort of).  it was wp-content, and I chmod'ed it (wordpress irc helped me out)
[03:03] <iliketoprogram> oops, sorry for multiple 'hiyas'.. im a ninja heh
[03:03] <sethk> new11, jobs -l only lists background jobs started by that particular shell.  you can see all of your processes using ps.
[03:04] <Hoshiko> !bug
[03:04] <ubotu> If you find a bug in Ubuntu, please report it at http://bugs.ubuntu.com
[03:04] <ladydoor> spc: sweet
[03:04] <sethk> BHSPitLappy, schedule ntp-update as a cron job
[03:04] <RamiKassab> hey guys how would I register a link in the form: irc://irc.a0hell.org/altered-fservers-united within firefox on ubuntu so that when I click on a link like that, firefox knows what program to send to
[03:04] <ladydoor> spc:  glad it worked out
[03:04] <spc> ladydoor: thanks though!
[03:04] <ladydoor> spc:  np
[03:04] <BHSPitLappy> sethk, how is it set up in the time/date settings?
[03:04] <spc> ladydoor: now I just figure out how to correctly set permissions.  :)
[03:04] <iliketoprogram> or, can you tell me what the command line is for a sort of gui for  managing the desktops in enlightenment?
[03:04] <sethk> BHSPitLappy, sorry, ntpdate is the name
[03:05] <ladydoor> spc:  chmod may be a good place to start :-)
[03:05] <new11> sethk: wont it show up in ps x?
[03:05] <sethk> BHSPitLappy, you can configure ntp to do more sophisticated things with ntp.conf
[03:05] <sethk> new11, yes
[03:05] <halitech> BHSPitlappy, if you go into date and time, you can click on periodically synco with server as well
[03:05] <spc> ladydoor: I'll investigate.  :-D  thanks again.
[03:05] <mumrah> ok, keyboard thing is working, but what key is umlaut a,u and o?
[03:05] <benkong2> how does dapper determine nic names? I have an IBM x30 and the wired nic is eth2 and the wireless is eth3. any help?
[03:06] <sethk> new11, lots of ways to do it.  as I said, jobs -l are the jobs run by one shell.  ps aux | grep username   will get all your processes, foreground, background, etc.
[03:06] <ladydoor> spc:  np
[03:06] <rambo> I have my windows partition on a raid-0 array controlled by an nvidia adapter that linux doesn't have a driver for. Is it possible to mount said Windows partition by setting up a software raid in linux to read the partition?
[03:06] <ladydoor> mumrah: for what language?
[03:06] <mumrah> german
[03:06] <sethk> new11, you mentioned ps x; I usually use ps ax
[03:06] <ladydoor> mumrah: just feel around, i guess. it'll probably be a "dead key"
[03:06] <mumrah> i see
[03:06] <nozorro> mumrah, open the keyboard config dialog i mentioned, there you have a graphical representation of the keyboard selected
[03:06] <mumrah> 
[03:07] <mumrah> woot
[03:07] <rambo> thats a level 10 difficulty linux question, btw :)
[03:07] <sethk> new11, you've got both the bsd ps syntax and the system V ps syntax, so there are a _lot_ of interesting ps variations
[03:07] <wikityler_cantre> hello. Im having troubble booting off of a 6.06LTS disk. I have tried two disks and both crash midway into the boot, yet when used on a different computer they work. Also, older live cds work (like 5.04). any ideas, thanks!
[03:07] <mumrah> wt
[03:07] <sethk> rambo, the answer is no
[03:07] <AustLaw`> should the swap partition be primary or extended?
[03:07] <rambo> oh
[03:07] <rambo> thanks anyways
[03:07] <mumrah> horray for ubuntu!!
[03:07] <rambo> ok cool
[03:07] <bobbob1016> can anyone help me manually remove firestarter?  I did a kernal upgrade to get my battery to show up, and I didn't know to do iptables, and now firestarter is in a constant broken state, and it always says so when I do anything apt-get related
[03:07] <bobbob1016> kernel*
[03:08] <sethk> rambo, you can't mix software and hardware raid, and software raid doesn't substitute for a missing hardware raid driver, unfortunately.  be nice if it did.
[03:08] <rambo> ok
[03:08] <fnTc^spNk> sudo: nvidia-glx-config: command not found
[03:08] <fnTc^spNk> :o ?
[03:08] <sethk> bobbob1016, you can do that, but have you tried to repair the package data first?
[03:08] <bobbob1016> I did a dpkg --configure -a
[03:08] <halitech> wikityler, how much ram does the system have and what speed cd rom?
[03:08] <AustLaw`> should a swap partition be made primary or extended?
[03:08] <mutk> rambo, The problem is that the 'hardware RAID' is in reality 'hardware assisted software RAID' with a proprietary on disk format. Linux Software RAID will not understand the on disk format..
[03:09] <rambo> gotcha
[03:09] <rambo> thank you
[03:09] <bruenig> Austlaw, it doesn't matter, if you have enough room i.e. less than 4 primary partitions, I would just make it primary because it is a little easier
[03:09] <Here_comes_me_61> I just wanna say
[03:09] <mutk> rambo, The moral of the story is 'be wary of all hardware raid solutions'
[03:09] <sethk> fnTc^spNk, that's part of the nvidia-glx-legacy package.  see if it's installed
[03:09] <wikityler_cantre> halitech: 512mb, and its a dvd-rom thats only a few years old, i dont know the exact speed off hand.
[03:09] <Here_comes_me_61> Ubuntu is hella hardy
[03:09] <AustLaw`> thanks
[03:09] <rambo> yeah, seriously. I'm kinda bummed it's software assisted... i assumed it was pure hardware
[03:09] <Here_comes_me_61> Anyone wanna guess sow many processes I have running?
[03:10] <mutk> rambo, And understand what you are getting into..
[03:10] <fnTc^spNk> sethk: it is
[03:10] <fnTc^spNk> i just did :)
[03:10] <sethk> mutk, there are hardware raid things that appear to be an ordinary IDE drive to the o/s
[03:10] <sethk> fnTc^spNk, should be in /usr/sbin, try it with the full path and with sudo
[03:10] <Here_comes_me_61> Anyone?
[03:10] <Kragnerac> heh
[03:10] <mutk> sethk, Yes, like the 3ware RAID controllers. Very nice that ..
[03:10] <sethk> fnTc^spNk, sudo /usr/sbin/nvidia-glx-config
[03:10] <neutrinomass> Is there any way to make my laptop run cooler (like manually start the fan ? )
[03:10] <sethk> mutk, yes indeed
[03:10] <halitech> wikityler, will the drive boot anything properly? had 1 over the weekend that would read and start the boot and then hang
[03:11] <fnTc^spNk> hmm now it says it isnt
[03:11] <GreenCult> bye all
[03:11] <wikityler_cantre> halitech: it can boot any other bootable cd, even older ubuntu live cds, just not this vertion (6.06)
[03:11] <bobbob1016> any other things I can do to get rid of firestarter?  or fix it, which is what I'd prefer
[03:11] <mutk> sethk, Even then the advice to be ware of even the 3ware controllers holds. You need another controller to get data off them..
[03:11] <sethk> wikityler_cantre, if the one that works is the breezy install, use it, then upgrade to dapper (or use breezy, which is just fine)
[03:11] <neutrinomass> what even controls the fan (in terms of hardware) ?
[03:12] <sethk> mutk, for full redundency, yes
[03:12] <looktj> k im back
[03:12] <sethk> mutk, I still like it  :)
[03:12] <halitech> wikityler, not sure then
[03:12] <wikityler_cantre> sethk: i have a v.5.04, is that breezy?
[03:12] <sethk> neutrinomass, that's part of the i2c bus
[03:12] <looktj> i resized this partition to 10 GB and left the rest on other
[03:12] <sethk> wikityler_cantre, yes
[03:12] <wikityler_cantre> ok.
[03:13] <mutk> sethk, I agree, been my choice for a while..
[03:13] <halitech> 5.04 was hoary wasn't it? 5.1 was breezy
[03:13] <wikityler_cantre> when i do a media test it fails every 6.06 disk, even though they pass in a different computer. could it be the drive?
[03:13] <bruenig> halitech, you are correct
[03:14] <sethk> wikityler_cantre, yes, indeed, could be a minor alignment issue.  unless you burned the 5.04 cd on the same drive
[03:14] <sethk> halitech, sorry, yes, my mistake
[03:14] <Abst> Can ubuntu read NTFS by default?
[03:14] <bruenig> Abst, yes it can read
[03:14] <halitech> no worries
[03:14] <nozorro> Abst yes
[03:14] <Abst> Okay
[03:14] <wikityler_cantre> they arn;t burned cds i ordered them from canonical
[03:15] <bobbob1016> any ideas for my firestarter problem?  I don't want to be annoying or anything
[03:15] <looktj> now how i install windows to go on the right partition?
[03:15] <sethk> wikityler_cantre, one thing you might try is burning a CD/R on the drive which has the problem (if it's a burner)
[03:15] <wikityler_cantre> its not.
[03:15] <sethk> bobbob1016, what was you answer to my question about trying to repair the package data?
[03:15] <wikityler_cantre> but ill swap in my burner and see if i can boot using it,
[03:15] <wikityler_cantre> bbiab, thanks for the help
[03:16] <bobbob1016> I did dpkg --configure -a
[03:16] <bobbob1016> or something
[03:16] <fnTc^spNk> hmm it still isnt working
[03:16] <neutrinomass> sethk: Thanks. I'm not exactly sure what that is or where it gets listed... I'll try looking it up though... btw, is /proc/acpi/fan supposed to be empty ?
[03:16] <sethk> bobbob1016, try running synaptic and selecting the repair option from the menu
[03:16] <sethk> neutrinomass, I'm not certain, I don't think so but there are optional fans, and not all mobos have all fans
[03:17] <neutrinomass> sethk: It's a lappy if it makes any difference..
[03:17] <dashriKe> http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5503582578132361295
[03:17] <bobbob1016> repair does nothing
[03:17] <bobbob1016> I did fix broken
[03:18] <neutrinomass> And it gets uncomfortably hot at times, so I'm trying to figure out how to cool it down (frequency scaling is working, it drops to 1 Ghz - I don't feel like making it drop more )

[03:19] <ladydoor> Hatty: nope!
[03:20] <Hatty> =/
[03:20] <ladydoor> sorry
[03:20] <fnTc^spNk> hmm im getting 3 error's
[03:20] <madman__> Hatty: no
[03:20] <bobbob1016> firestarter says my kernel doesn't have iptable support, and when I try complete removal, I get this "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. "
[03:21] <sethk> bobbob1016, if it's a one liner you can paste it here, or two lines
[03:21] <madman__> Hatty: memory maybe
[03:21] <sethk> bobbob1016, you did that, with sudo?  sudo dpkg --configure -a     ?
[03:21] <bobbob1016> yeah

[03:22] <ladydoor> !SHOUT
[03:22] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[03:22] <halitech> Hatty, been running Dapper fine since it was released and I upgraded from breezy
[03:22] <sethk> bobbob1016, I'm just not convinced that uninstalling is going to make any difference
[03:22] <sethk> bobbob1016, we have to find the root of the problem
[03:22] <halitech> Hatty, I only have 384 and it runs fine, can convert a movie, browse and chat with no issues
[03:23] <bobbob1016> I don't need to remove it, I want to either fix or reinstall
[03:23] <madman__> Hatty: you just ubuntu running on your machine ?
[03:23] <sethk> bobbob1016, sorry, I know you've told us twice, but run through it again for me, what you did that got you into this situation.
[03:23] <sethk> bobbob1016, I thought you had asked about removing, sorry if that's wrong
[03:23] <Hatty> madman__ had. I was running like aMSN (It happened several times when it wasnt open) and irssi in gnome-terminal
[03:24] <bobbob1016> I needed to upgrade my kernel so it would see my battery (this is a laptop), and when I did so the kernel I didn't know I needed iptables in there, so now firestarter says there are problems with iptables
[03:24] <YeTr2> what options do I have for GameBoy emulation do I have for ubuntu?
[03:24] <bobbob1016> I went from 2.6.15 to 2.6.17
[03:24] <sethk> bobbob1016, why not add the iptables support?
[03:24] <looktj> Anyone familiar with dual boot?
[03:25] <madman__> Hatty: have you look at the background services running on machine ?
[03:25] <sethk> bobbob1016, do you need firestarter for some reason?
[03:25] <sethk> looktj, probably everyone, but you'll never know unless you ask a question  :)
[03:25] <neutrinomass> bobbob1016: How did you do that, why and are you on dapper ?
[03:25] <Krank_> Is there any benefit for using the K7 kernel over the 386? I have an athlon 64.
[03:25] <Hatty> madman__ nothing was taking up all that much
[03:25] <bobbob1016> no, the problem is that firestarter gives me weird errors through anything apt-related
[03:25] <ShoeUnited> !ftp
[03:25] <ubotu> FTP clients: gftp, konqueror, kbear, nautilus. FTP servers: ftpd, proftpd, pure-ftpd, twoftpd, vsftpd
[03:25] <sethk> Krank_, the benefits are very minor where they exist at all
[03:25] <looktj> I need to install windows on my new partition which is /dev/hda3
[03:25] <neutrinomass> Krank_: Yes. Not terrible, but worth trying it if you feel like it - you don't have to though ...
[03:25] <ShoeUnited> Ok, which ftp is best for uploading to my server?
[03:26] <sethk> bobbob1016, ok, give us the exact text of one of those errors
[03:26] <madman__> Hatty: have you tryed a clean command in shell ?
[03:26] <Hatty> clean?
[03:26] <fnTc^spNk> module nvidia_legacy not found, can anyone tell me what this means? :c
[03:26] <bobbob1016> I followed a thread to upgrade it, I did it because 2.6.15 wouldn't see my battery and I was told a newer one would which it did, and yes I am using dapper
[03:26] <sethk> looktj, a warning; windows is sometimes very bitchy about booting from anywhere other than first partition on primary master
[03:26] <Krank_> So K7 is a little bit better.. Perhaps I'll give it a try.
[03:26] <kitche> bobbob1016: well firestarter is just an overlay to make iptables setup easier so you might not have compiled iptables in the kernel
[03:26] <sethk> looktj, the dual boot part is easy, if windows runs.
[03:26] <nozorro> Krank_ with an athlon 32, i haven't seen any difference speed wise. plus, i have seen problems with power management and nvidia drivers when using the k7 kernel
[03:26] <madman__> Hatty: looking now
[03:27] <kitche> fnTc^spNk: you don't have the nvidia_legacy driver installed
[03:27] <teekay_> sup
[03:27] <phisher1> hello
[03:27] <fnTc^spNk> :\
[03:27] <_wall`> Hello
[03:27] <sethk> kitche, yes, that's what he said (although not in those words), the new kernel doesn't have the iptables options that firestarter is expecting
[03:27] <bobbob1016> is there any way I can add iptables, without a recompile, I was scared while doing the recompile the first time
[03:27] <ShoeUnited> Ok, which ftp is best for uploading to my server?
[03:27] <looktj> Sethk: I have ubuntu on this partition(/dev/hda1)
[03:27] <sethk> kitche, tried that already (for fnTc^spNk )  :)
[03:27] <fnTc^spNk> i thougt i just installed them with apt-get thingy
[03:27] <neutrinomass> bobbob1016: For starters, you shouldn't be really running 2.6.17 on dapper. There have been udev changes and things might break. You compiled from source I understand so you probably forgot to include compile time options when configuring the kernel ...
[03:27] <sethk> looktj, yes, that's fine
[03:27] <Abst> In terminal how can I make it so function keys dont open top menus? (for midnight commander)
[03:28] <sethk> looktj, go ahead and install windows on the third partition.  if the install completes and it boots, then come back and we'll help you set up dual boot.
[03:28] <looktj> I've never done dual boot before
[03:28] <Krank_> Ah, couple more questions... is there an easy install method for the latest nvidia drivers?
[03:28] <sethk> looktj, before installing windows, back up the mbr as follows:
[03:28] <Abst> !mc > Abst
[03:28] <sethk> looktj, dd if=/dev/hda of=/root/mbr-backup bs=512 count=1
[03:28] <neutrinomass> bobbob1016: The correct way would be to file a bug report on linux-source-2.6.15. Point out that the problem was fixed in such and such kernel, include any information requested and respond to developer's questions :-)
[03:28] <sethk> looktj, sorry, use    sudo dd if=/dev/hda of=/root/mbr-backup bs=512 count=1
[03:28] <sethk> looktj, then what you'll do by installing windows is easily reversible
[03:29] <sethk> looktj, as I said, if windows happily boots from hda3, your in good shape and we just add a few lines to your /boot/grub/menu.lst
[03:29] <sethk> s/your/you're/   ugh
[03:29] <fellipe> ...
[03:29] <bobbob1016> oh, ok, I just needed the battery things sooner since I use the computer unplugged a lot (in class)
[03:30] <bobbob1016> and I don't know how to do a bug report
[03:30] <sethk> neutrinomass, that isn't really his problem
[03:30] <sethk> neutrinomass, his problem is that apt-get is now broken
[03:30] <sethk> neutrinomass, he can't do anything with packages
[03:30] <bobbob1016> it isn't BROKEN it just doesn't work from time to time
[03:30] <neutrinomass> sethk: Ouch :-/
[03:30] <looktj> i just need windows for photoshop and one game btw
[03:30] <bobbob1016> sorry if I wasn't that clear
[03:31] <bobbob1016> frequently
[03:31] <looktj> what about aptitude?
[03:31] <_wall`> investigating
[03:31] <teekay_> don't know
[03:31] <bobbob1016> aptitude?
[03:31] <nozorro> Krank_, you can change terminal keycombos using Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts ...
[03:31] <sethk> bobbob1016, I'm not sure if you answered; what is the exact text of the error you get?
[03:31] <kakahn> when i write: apt-get update ( it is for install wine ) , i have this  "Impossible de rcuprer http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/dists/breezy/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz  404 Not Found

[03:31] <sethk> bobbob1016, aptitude is another front end to apt-get, like synaptic.  irrelevant to this problem
[03:32] <looktj> cya gonna go find my windows cd
[03:32] <sethk> kakahn, don't paste
[03:32] <sethk> kakahn, use sudo before apt-get
[03:32] <sethk> kakahn, sudo apt-get update
[03:32] <kakahn> same
[03:32] <kakahn> same error
[03:32] <Hobbsee> kakahn: sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock  && sudo apt-get update
[03:33] <Hobbsee> sethk: it's a 404, and the lock hasnt been removed - not a permissions error
[03:33] <Jack_Sparrow> that url is no good
[03:33] <sethk> Hobbsee, ok
[03:33] <bobbob1016> synaptic says "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem." and I do that in terminal (with sudo) and nothing happens
[03:33] <sethk> Hobbsee, no, look at the error
[03:33] <Hobbsee> sethk: i did :)
[03:33] <sethk> bobbob1016, try sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[03:33] <nuxord> hello
[03:34] <sethk> Hobbsee, his problem is a missing packages.gz, not lock
[03:34] <Hobbsee> true that.
[03:34] <Jack_Sparrow> agreed
[03:34] <nuxord> i am looking for a good web page editor, whee might i find one?
[03:34] <bobbob1016> ok, one second
[03:34] <Hobbsee> sethk: as to why it doesnt go and find the packages.gz, and throws an error, i dont know.
[03:34] <sethk> Hobbsee, I don't either, yet
[03:34] <Krank_> How does wine work with apps that get installed? I can get single .exe files to work fine, just not sure about others..
[03:34] <kakahn> Hobbsee, after this, error: impossible location source packages
[03:34] <Xenguy> nuxord: nvu is WYSIWYG
[03:34] <sethk> Hobbsee, I think your command might help bobbob1016 , though
[03:34] <nuxord> nvu?
[03:35] <Xenguy> yes
[03:35] <nuxord> i dont know what it stand for...nvu?
[03:35] <Hobbsee> bobbob1016:  sudo dpkg --configure -a, if it comes back blank, it's worked
[03:35] <kakahn> i use 5.10 amd64
[03:35] <sethk> Hobbsee, thing is, he's done that several times and said nothing changed.
[03:35] <Xenguy> nuxord: sudo apt-get install nvu
[03:35] <bobbob1016> yeah, it comes back blank

[03:36] <nuxord> Thanks, just what i needed.
[03:36] <bobbob1016> sorry, I get the same error again
[03:36] <Hobbsee> HeathenDan: i could do that, yes
[03:36] <sethk> D00B3Y, yes, those are all for building from source
[03:36] <Hobbsee> bobbob1016: what is the error?
[03:36] <HeathenDan> lol
[03:37] <HeathenDan> :p
[03:37] <sethk> D00B3Y, if you can install a binary, you don't have to figure out what's wrong with the source build

[03:37] <HeathenDan> im just saying, it's a waste to not abuse mad op powers
[03:37] <HeathenDan> XD
[03:37] <sethk> D00B3Y, check, also do a search, see if there is a package not in the official ubuntu repositories.  there are other repositories floating around
[03:37] <bee> Is anyone here using a Speedlink Medusa 5.1 Surround Sound USB headset ?
[03:37] <Hobbsee> bobbob1016: ah.  "sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get update" does nothing?

[03:38] <Jack_Sparrow> Is he running breezy or dapper?
[03:38] <sethk> D00B3Y, ok, let me look
[03:38] <Dr_Willis> brooklyn,  use a terminal emulator that supports that silly feature
[03:38] <bobbob1016> that works
[03:38] <Dr_Willis> :)
[03:38] <Hobbsee> kakahn: um?
[03:38] <HeathenDan> haha, silly feature... well said
[03:38] <D00B3Y> couldn't find package..
[03:39] <brooklyn> well, i switched to ubuntu from slack, and it was transparent, im just used to it.
[03:39] <sethk> D00B3Y, I need more of it.  the first error is almost always the important one, rarely the last
[03:39] <Dr_Willis> brooklyn,  most use fake-transparency however.
[03:39] <eyequeue> brooklyn, edit > current profile > effects > transparent
[03:39] <D00B3Y> I'll copy the whole thing if you want..
[03:39] <sethk> D00B3Y, do the build, capture the output, and put all of the output on the paste
[03:39] <bobbob1016> I mean it always gives me the "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem." after I do anything apt-related
[03:39] <sethk> D00B3Y, might help

[03:41] <D00B3Y> sethk: I copied the whole process, from ./configure to make config to make: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22112
[03:41] <sethk> D00B3Y, ok, I'll look
[03:42] <D00B3Y> thanks.
[03:43] <kakahn> jack_sparrow from ?
[03:43] <td13> installed java, restarted, ubuntu boot screen will not come up...??
[03:43] <kakahn> i follow tutoriels
[03:44] <sethk> D00B3Y, give me the URL for the source tarball
[03:44] <D00B3Y> sure
[03:44] <Jack_Sparrow> http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/dists/breezy/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz  is not valid
[03:44] <D00B3Y> http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3962
[03:44] <kakahn> i know
[03:45] <nozorro> td13 we're hearing this the second time today, this seems to be a (new?) bug
[03:45] <Jack_Sparrow> kakahn: Find your package here  http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/  save it to your desktop
[03:45] <sethk> D00B3Y, I'm surprised you got as far as you did, the release is from november 2003
[03:45] <nuxord> i installed Nvu, but where can i find it now?
[03:45] <D00B3Y> =\
[03:45] <kakahn> and ?
[03:45] <sethk> D00B3Y, I'll download it and see if I can track it down.  It's a bit odd; I would expect the compile to fail, not the link
[03:45] <td13> help me please??
[03:45] <D00B3Y> thanks.
[03:46] <nuxord> its not in the applications menu, where would Nvu be?
[03:46] <eyequeue> nuxord, applications > programming
[03:46] <Dr_Willis> nuxord,  or just type nvu  in a shell .:)
[03:46] <kakahn> download finish jack_sparrow
[03:46] <eyequeue> nuxord, killall gnome-panel
[03:46] <sethk> D00B3Y, will take a while; I have to walk the dog first.
[03:46] <nozorro> td13, me, i can't, sorry -- someone else?
[03:46] <nuxord> alright thanks, got it
[03:46] <chris__> Hi I am an Ubuntu newb and have problem with Ubuntu desktop, can anyone help?
[03:46] <D00B3Y> sethk, I have to go.. do you think you can e-mail me or get back to me tomorrow?
[03:47] <Jack_Sparrow> kakahn: double click it
[03:47] <nozorro> chris_ what's your problem?
[03:47] <Dr_Willis> chris__,  clarify the problem. :)
[03:47] <longwave> sethk, D00B3Y: looks like may be something to do with dns resolver libraries; i have seen odd linkage problems before like that
[03:47] <kakahn> not open
[03:47] <kakahn> impossible
[03:47] <Jack_Sparrow> kakahn: YOu have the deb on your desktop?
[03:47] <kakahn> .deb
[03:48] <kakahn> yes .deb
[03:48] <Jack_Sparrow> You got all 12 meg that fast.. wow
[03:48] <islan> is connecting your comp to a projector any different from connecting it to a TV with an s-vid cable in ubuntu?
[03:48] <kakahn> ^
[03:48] <kakahn> ^
[03:48] <kakahn> it is ok ^
[03:48] <cliffd> anyone know how to make it so powernowd lets my cpu sit at 100% all the time, no stepping.
[03:48] <chris__> nozorro I have lost 'places' icon from panel, tried to add it to panel but not possible
[03:48] <cycom> if you're using S-Vid, I suppose not
[03:48] <kakahn> but i can"t double clik
[03:48] <Jack_Sparrow> kakahn: What is the file size?
[03:49] <kakahn> 12,0 Mb
[03:49] <longwave> cliffd: why would you want that? doesn't powernowd step up to 100% when cpu usage gets high enough to warrant using that much power anyway?
[03:49] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[03:49] <kakahn> wine_0.9.19~winehq0~ubuntu~5.10-1_i386.deb
[03:49] <nozorro> chris__ how do you mean, could you describe in more detail pls?
[03:49] <sethk> longwave, you are correct, he needs to add -lresolv to the link line
[03:49] <lupine_85> clifd: just disable powernowd ?
[03:49] <sethk> longwave, good call, only where did he go?   :)
[03:50] <cliffd> longwave: my laptop is always plugged in and it just sits 800mhz and takes forever to launch firefox etc etc
[03:50] <brooklyn> Does anyone here use "server ubuntu" as a desktop, or is the actuall desktop version more popular
[03:50] <sethk> can't email him without his email
[03:50] <longwave> sethk: yeah haha, well hopefully he will be back when one of us is here :)
[03:50] <Jack_Sparrow> kakahn: I am trying to get it now
[03:50] <kakahn> Jack_Sparrow, i have install ubuntu, 2hours ago
[03:50] <sethk> longwave, :)
[03:50] <chris__> I can access files from command line but I am lazy and want to use desktop instead, I had a menu titles 'places' where I could access home holder etc. but seem to have lost this
[03:50] <kakahn> ok
[03:51] <longwave> cliffd: hrm i see, though when i start firefox my laptop briefly ramps up to 1.6ghz while it loads then goes back to 800mhz when it is done
[03:51] <Jack_Sparrow> can someone walk him through dpkg - a local *deb
[03:51] <cliffd> longwave: same thing, mine will sit at 800mhz for like 10 seconds, launche firefox, jump to 1.8 and then go back down
[03:51] <nozorro> chris__ oh. only the 'places' menu, or also 'applications', 'system'?
[03:51] <cliffd> but, If i set it to 1.8 manually then launch firefox it takes less then 1 second to start
[03:52] <longwave> cliffd: it only takes about that long for firefox to start for me anyway! i dont know how to fix powernowd though i am afraid
[03:52] <eyequeue> kakahn, sudo dpkg -i foo.deb
[03:52] <cliffd> longwave: ok thakns.
[03:52] <kakahn> ok i test
[03:52] <longwave> brooklyn: once you install X on ubuntu server, it's pretty much a desktop version by then anyway - really there is no difference
[03:52] <cliffd> I think the -u 100 -l 100 works but im not sure how to set the option in /etc/default/powernowd
[03:53] <nozorro> chris__, if you lost all of thos menus, you can re-add them without problem
[03:53] <longwave> cliffd: is there just an OPTIONS="" bit in that file? just put those flags between the quotes
[03:53] <chris__> nozorro, how do I add them?
[03:53] <Jack_Sparrow> eyequeue: since I dont dpkg... what does foo do  or is that a psudoname for the name of the file he wants?
[03:53] <diezare> guys, when i apt-get search mplayer i don't find except the kmplayer, any ideas if it was removed or wut?
[03:54] <cliffd> longwave: yeah I just figured that out. wasnt sure what to do. im kind of dumb.
[03:54] <nozorro> chris__ step by step: right-click on the panel ...
[03:54] <eyequeue> Jack_Sparrow, the latter, a metasyntactic variable
[03:54] <longwave> !info mplayer
[03:54] <ubotu> mplayer: The Ultimate Movie Player For Linux. In component multiverse, is extra. Version 2:0.99+1.0pre7try2+cvs20060117-0ubuntu8 (dapper), package size 3265 kB, installed size 7916 kB
[03:54] <chris__> ok
[03:54] <longwave> diezare: mplayer is in multiverse, maybe you need to enable that repo?
[03:54] <nozorro> chris__ then select 'Add to panel'
[03:54] <sethk> diezare, not removed
[03:54] <jrib> diezare: you need dapper multiverse repository
[03:54] <diezare> how can i enable this repository?
[03:54] <nozorro> chris__ finally select Menu Bar
[03:54] <eyequeue> Jack_Sparrow, i wasn't tracking the conversation to see any more than your request :)
[03:54] <longwave> !multiverse
[03:54] <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
[03:55] <qazew> anyone ran into a blank screen ( no mouse ) when booting a livecd? (ati x1800 w/ dvi lcd monitors)
[03:55] <eyequeue> !repos > diezare
[03:55] <kakahn> eyequeue, Jack_Sparrow , i have again an error . I have a Amd 64 version
[03:55] <qazew> when it starts to load X up it just quits sending a signal to the monitor
[03:55] <chris__> nozorro.. I have my menus back but stuff is missing from them
[03:55] <chris__> the main thing I want back is my 'home' folder in the 'places' menu
[03:55] <nozorro> chris__ first off, in order not to lose the menu again, do the following:
[03:55] <jpjacobs> qazew, sounds like out-of-range things...
[03:56] <jpjacobs> qazew, tried different resolutions/depths?
[03:56] <Jack_Sparrow> eyequeue:  So it would be...?   sudo dpkg -i  wine_0.9.19~winehq0~ubuntu~5.10-1_i386.deb
[03:56] <qazew> i'd love to...but this is just the live CD
[03:56] <kingofhearts> how to I get 6.06 to start in command-line mode?
[03:56] <qazew> it does the initial loading then when X trys to start up it just quit's sending a signal
[03:56] <nozorro> chris__ how did it happen? did you do anything special?
[03:56] <eyequeue> Jack_Sparrow, if that's the filename, sure
[03:56] <qazew> think i can do cntl+alt+backspace or whatever and get a console?
[03:56] <jpjacobs> qazew, you can select different modes with one of the F-keys...
[03:57] <sethk> qazew, control-alt-f1
[03:57] <qazew> <3
[03:57] <qazew> thx
[03:57] <chris__> I seem to remember installing beagle
[03:57] <sethk> qazew, control-alt-backspace kills x, but it will restart and fail again
[03:57] <eyequeue> Jack_Sparrow, apt-get uses package names, dpkg uses filenames
[03:57] <chris__> this all started with me searching for a file, I wanted to speed it up with Beagle
[03:57] <Jack_Sparrow> kakahn: Go to the site you linked and find the one you want and download it to your desktop
[03:57] <td13> installed java, restarted, ubuntu boot screen will not come up...??
[03:57] <kakahn> Jack_Sparrow, i take what ?
[03:57] <longwave> td13: java should not affect the boot process. are you sure this is all that has changed since you last rebooted?
[03:57] <kakahn> i have ubutun 5.10 amd64
[03:58] <kakahn> ubuntu*
[03:58] <nozorro> chris__ ah ..., well other than deinstalling it (it's beta software) i can't help you because ...
[03:59] <nozorro> chris:: because the items in the places menu are generated from the innards of the gnome system.
[03:59] <amonkey> i'm copying files from a old drive to a new drive, how can i make sure they get there ok? is there something that will checksum both files and tell me if they are different for a bunch of files?
[03:59] <td13> how do I repair gnome??
[03:59] <kishore> hi
[03:59] <Lathiat> td13: What's the problem?
[03:59] <sethk> td13, try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:59] <sethk> td13, with sudo
[03:59] <MagicFab> where would be the best place to ask about Ubuntu's trademarks abuse/ misuse ?
[03:59] <Jack_Sparrow> kakahn: Every file on the site ends in 386...
[03:59] <kishore> i have upgraded my breezy to dapper..sometimes.its not booting to ubuntu
[04:00] <sethk> MagicFab, no idea.  you can try here.
[04:00] <longwave> amonkey: "md5sum" can create checksums of a file
[04:00] <nozorro> chris:__ what you could do is to deinstall gnome-panel (and all its dependencies), and then reinstall, but it's quite a hassle
[04:00] <sethk> amonkey, md5sum
[04:00] <Jack_Sparrow> TIme for me to call it a day...
[04:00] <chris__> nozrorro, you think it is not possible to add my home folder back to the 'places' menu on the toolbar?... everyhting else in there is ok
[04:00] <sethk> amonkey, I use a program I wrote to compare directories using md5sum
[04:00] <bluefox83> !w32codecs
[04:00] <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
[04:00] <fellipe> how can I get a new version for amsn??
[04:00] <sethk> amonkey, there is an easier way, though; the diff command will accept directories
[04:01] <Jack_Sparrow> THe wife is giving me that "Look"
[04:01] <Jack_Sparrow> goodnight
[04:01] <nozorro> chris__ might be possible, but nothing that i know right know. another workaround would be to create a new user account (after deinstalling beagle) and then work from there
[04:01] <chris__> same problem with other user accounts
[04:01] <chris__> tried that
[04:01] <santiago> hi everyone, Im looking for any way to change gcc language without changing the whole system language, any idea?
[04:01] <MagicFab> somegeek, apaprently some comapny calling themselves "Interlink/Ubuntu" is organizing some sort of event claimin to be a non-profit Ubuntu club and even saying they have confirmed Mark suttleworth and linus Torvalds attendance.
[04:02] <chris__> I think I will go for the reinstall panel option
[04:02] <nozorro> chris__ wait! big hassel ahead!
[04:02] <sethk> MagicFab, put that on the bullshit list with the novell suit
[04:02] <sethk> MagicFab, anybody who knows anything about the law will tell you that you can't speak up about something like that a long time after the name is adopted
[04:03] <nozorro> chris__ another option is occurring to me ...
[04:03] <eyequeue> !language > sethk
[04:03] <sethk> MagicFab, by not protesting, any claim is lost.  I doubt there is a claim in the first place, but, if so, forget about it now
[04:03] <MagicFab> sethk, anybody in south america knows they can for a long time
[04:03] <chris__> fire away :-)
[04:03] <nozorro> chris__ you could reinstall gnome-panel with one command, just let me search the command ...
[04:03] <td13> Lathiat: when I boot up it shows that everything is ...ok, then my monitor goes black, says no signal, comes back black and thats it.
[04:03] <nozorro> chris__ wait a sec
[04:03] <_wall`> unsure
[04:03] <teekay_> good
[04:03] <sethk> MagicFab, perhaps, but ubuntu is distributed anywhere, and you sue people with money  :)
[04:04] <longwave> td13: can you press ctrl+alt+f1 and log in to a text console when that happens?
[04:04] <kakahn> i had a error: wine_0.9.19~winehq0~ubuntu~5.10-1_i386.deb not ok for amd64 system
[04:04] <sethk> kakahn, indeed it isn't.
[04:04] <sethk> kakahn, see that i386?
[04:04] <td13> longwave: i will try.,.. 2 secs
[04:04] <cliffd> longwave: fyi http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_make_use_of_Dynamic_Frequency_Scaling here is where you can set your speeds in proc
[04:04] <sethk> kakahn, you'll have to find one for amd
[04:04] <MagicFab> sethk, the locoteam in Colombia is worried that the event target govrnmt and NGOs with FUD.
[04:04] <cliffd> sys rather.
[04:04] <ladydoor> MagicFab: #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:04] <sethk> MagicFab, never happen
[04:04] <MagicFab> They are inquiring but I wanted to know what's the way to go about this
[04:05] <sethk> MagicFab, go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:05] <Nameeater> I want to apply a patch to grub and then install it as a .deb, I have done apt-get source grub and applied the patch, now how do I turn it into a .deb and install it?
[04:05] <mutk> MagicFab, Confront the people behind it . They may back down if questioned ?
[04:05] <nozorro> chris__ do a sudo 'apt-get --reinstall install gnome-panel', but pls try to deinstall beagle and any other non-standard stuff you think might interfere
[04:06] <td13> longwave: nope
[04:06] <chris__> removed beagle already
[04:06] <eyequeue> Nameeater, apt-get -b source grub && sudo dpkg -i grub*.deb
[04:06] <Nameeater> thanks :)
[04:06] <MagicFab> how is this off topic, give me a break!
[04:06] <nozorro> chris__ 'apt-get --reinstall install gnome-panel' , to be more correct ... and wait a bit more
[04:06] <chris__> thanks nozorro... will try that
[04:06] <eyequeue> MagicFab, that channel is for non-support issues
[04:07] <eyequeue> !offtopic
[04:07] <nozorro> chris__ to be on the safe side, do the same reinstall for the package gnome-panel-data
[04:07] <eyequeue> is the bot dead?
[04:07] <chris__> ok, thanks
[04:07] <td13> still cannot log on... nothing showing up....??
[04:07] <longwave> td13: how about if you select recovery mode from the grub boot menu, does that work or also crash?
[04:08] <td13> works.... gets me 2 term
[04:08] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[04:09] <Corporal_Dirge> What's CLI command for gconfig or something.
[04:09] <longwave> td13: you could try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" there to reconfigure X
[04:09] <td13> longwave: k.. 2 secs

[04:19] <AustLaw> the nvidia tutorial says: If 3D acceleration still isn't working, be sure that you have the right version of linux-restricted-modules installed. It must match the version of the running kernel.

[04:19] <Fleebailey33> i want to install edgy
[04:19] <longwave> td13: you should be able to ctrl+alt+f1 to switch to a console even if X is broken, which i didn't quite understand why that wouldn't work before
[04:19] <Fleebailey33> by editing sources.list right ?
[04:20] <eyequeue> !edgy > Fleebailey33
[04:20] <Fleebailey33> but it says i don't have permissions ?
[04:20] <longwave> td13: hopefully not. if this doesn't work we can look at the X log to see what is happening when it tries to start
[04:20] <xange> can I not use the graphical installer?
[04:20] <Fleebailey33> well i need to
[04:20] <td13> longwave: was just black man... no idea but ty for your help

[04:21] <Fleebailey33> but how do i enable sudo through gedit ?
[04:21] <John[1] > what is the command to start the gnome desktop?
[04:21] <Fleebailey33> sudo gedit ?
[04:21] <UnmannedLeech> lol
[04:21] <longwave> Fleebailey33: "gksudo gedit"
[04:21] <jpjacobs> Fleebailey33, gksudo gedit is better
[04:21] <Fleebailey33> then i can save ?
[04:21] <eyequeue> Fleebailey33, read the links you have been given
[04:22] <Fleebailey33> gotcha
[04:22] <Fleebailey33> well you see i kinda cant
[04:22] <Fleebailey33> im stuck
[04:22] <nozorro> chris__ were you able to fix it?
[04:22] <chris__> nozorro... did reinstall of gnome panel
[04:22] <Fleebailey33> i have a limited ubuntu
[04:22] <chris__> no luck
[04:22] <Fleebailey33> eyequeue:
[04:22] <eod_punk> anyone know how to disable the password prompt when opening the laptop screen?
[04:22] <nozorro> chris __ :-(
[04:22] <Fleebailey33> NATUluas wont load amoung other things
[04:22] <chris__> everything fine, except I am still missing items from 'places' menu
[04:22] <Fleebailey33> why im going edgy
[04:23] <longwave> Fleebailey33: "gksudo gedit" will run gedit as root so you can edit any file on the filesystem
[04:23] <Fleebailey33> thanks so much
[04:23] <ladydoor> Fleebailey33: you think it's broken now, wait until you see edgy :-)
[04:23] <ladydoor> Fleebailey33: edgy is a development release at present
[04:24] <longwave> yeah i would not recommend trying edgy if you cannot get dapper to work right now :)
[04:24] <chris__> thanks for the help nozorro... its 4am I am gonna sleep!
[04:24] <John[1] > I'm stuck at the commnad prompt in dapper, what is the command to start gnome?
[04:24] <chris__> fix it in the morning..
[04:24] <Fleebailey33> oh i know
[04:24] <eyequeue> John[1] , startx
[04:24] <Fleebailey33> it's my hope though
[04:24] <ladydoor> John[1] : try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[04:25] <eyequeue> John[1] , sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[04:25] <nozorro> chris__ good luck
[04:25] <Tek-> i tryed to view an ftp with nautilus using the connect to server option and now it keeps trying to automount the site how do i stop that
[04:25] <YeTr2> where did the gnome multimediasystems selector preference item go?
[04:26] <YeTr2> in default ubuntu system preferences
[04:27] <Skuz`> Tek- do you want to use nautilus? if not i would use a real ftp client
[04:27] <John[1] > when i issue that command I get command not found
[04:27] <Tek-> i tried to gftp keeps crashing when i view directorys
[04:27] <Tek-> now all i wanna do is stop nautilus mounting it
[04:27] <livingtm> I am having a hell of a time getting compiz to run. nothing im googling seems to work. Im running dapper, aixgl, using the i810 driver. Running compiz from the command line, i get an error- "compiz.real: No GLXFBConfig for default depth, this isn't going to work."
[04:28] <eyequeue> !xgl > livingtm
[04:28] <Skuz`> Tek- is this ftp by any chance using ssl ?
[04:28] <ladydoor> John[1] : have you installed the ubuntu-desktop package? sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[04:28] <Tek-> could have been it was pass protected
[04:28] <livingtm> eyequeue: ?
[04:29] <Skuz`> becuse i've found that ssl protected sites crash on dir view in linux
[04:29] <Skuz`> with any client
[04:29] <Skuz`> even using win32 clients in wine
[04:29] <ladydoor> livingtm: the bot should have messaged you about xgl
[04:29] <eyequeue> livingtm, read what the bot told you
[04:29] <Tek-> is there a way to delete the site from nautilus though so it doesnt mount it on startup
[04:29] <livingtm> eyequeue: Ah, new IRC client.. i see it now :-) thx
[04:29] <eyequeue> livingtm, np
[04:29] <Fleebailey33> humhumbug
[04:30] <Fleebailey33> so.
[04:30] <eod_punk> anyone know how to disable the password prompt when opening the laptop screen?
[04:30] <John[1] > any ideas on how I can get gnome to start on my dapper server?
[04:30] <eod_punk> (last time asking)
[04:30] <StoneNote> are you threatening me? </cornholio>
[04:30] <ladydoor> eod_punk: there may not be an easy way...it's a security feature
[04:31] <John[1] > I went though about a 10-15 min. update and install, or at least that is what is said on the screen.
[04:31] <eod_punk> ladydoor. thanks anyways i cing either.an't ind much for it when search
[04:31] <ladydoor> John[1] : aha, it's a server? seriously, try installing ubuntu-desktop, then do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[04:31] <John[1] > I have did that already
[04:32] <longwave> John[1] : so what happened after you started gdm?
[04:32] <KanRiNiN> hey guys, quick question:  Totem with GStreamer is really slow playing an xvid, but it's fine in Windows and Suse.  Should I recompile either totem or gstreamer to give it flags for my system?
[04:32] <ladydoor> John[1] : have you installed your graphiks drivers? search for nvidia or ati in aptitude
[04:33] <John[1] > no I don't think I have a grapic driver problem.
[04:33] <Xenguy> KanRiNiN: tried VLC, or gxine ?
[04:33] <ladydoor> John[1] : it's just that i don't think they'd be auto-installed in a server
[04:34] <KanRiNiN> OK.  I just hate having two backends installeed
[04:34] <Xenguy> KanRiNiN: you only need the libraries for each...
[04:34] <Xenguy> ... which isn't too expensive
[04:34] <John[1] > Is there any kind of test I can do to see if this is infact what it is?
[04:34] <KanRiNiN> alright.
[04:34] <ladydoor> lol
[04:34] <KanRiNiN> thanks
[04:34] <Xenguy> np
[04:35] <ladydoor> John[1] : search in aptitude for either nvidia or ati
[04:35] <ladydoor> John[1] : see if they're installed
[04:35] <amonkey> i'm looking for something that will compare the md5s of a directory of files to make sure they all match. perferably a gui, but whatever i can find. i don't need the exact errors, just the list of files.
[04:35] <swuboo> I've run into a problem trying to install Ubuntu on a new computer.
[04:36] <Paddy_EIRE> yaaaaay hey guys im back usin linux through windows nice one....at my uncles comp and forgot my livecd
[04:36] <swuboo> The LiveCD hangs while trying to boot.
[04:36] <Paddy_EIRE> cosmopod rocks
[04:37] <longwave> swuboo: desktop, laptop? what specs? did you try the cd check from the boot menu?
[04:37] <swuboo> Desktop.
[04:37] <swuboo> The CD check also hangs.
[04:37] <swuboo> But I burned it at 1x and it completed the check okay on another system.
[04:37] <swuboo> Specs, it's an AMD 64.
[04:38] <swuboo> I've tried with both the 32bit and 64bit versions of Ubuntu, both hang.
[04:38] <swuboo> I tried booting with quiet and splash commented out, and it hangs immediately after "Begin: Running /scripts/init-premount ..."
[04:38] <jpjacobs> would it be safe to recompile a kernel on a system known to have a faulty spot in the RAM (because I want to recompile the ubuntu kernel with the bad ram patch applied)
[04:38] <Paddy_EIRE> swuboo: do u already have an os installed??
[04:38] <swuboo> Nope.  Brand new unformated hard drive.
[04:39] <swuboo> But the LiveCD doesn't even get far enough for the hard drive to matter.
[04:39] <JoseStefan> jpjacobs, it would be safe to say "no"
[04:39] <Paddy_EIRE> swuboo: i take it you tried the cd check
[04:39] <swuboo> Note that it's a very soft hang; I can still move the cursor and input text, but it simply never progresses past that point.
[04:39] <longwave> swuboo: did you try the "noapic" option in the boot command line?
[04:40] <swuboo> Yes.  I've also tried it with three different CDs, of two different versions, one of which is known good.
[04:40] <swuboo> I believe so, but I'll do that now.
[04:40] <longwave> swuboo: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/58143 may be relevant
[04:40] <John[1] > when I run the sudo spt-get install ubuntu-desktop, I get a error msg that says "failed to get http://yada yada and then it says e: failed to get soem archives maybe run apr-get update or try with fix--missing
[04:40] <longwave> swuboo: that suggests trying noacpi and/or maxcpus=1 may help
[04:40] <Paddy_EIRE> swuboo: how arre your drives cabled and jumpered
[04:40] <longwave> sorry, noapic
[04:41] <jpjacobs> JoseStefan, well, prolly gonna recompile it then on another machine. do i have to do anything else then to copy the whole /usr/src/ ? (like setting some crosscompiling options, because of a different CPU?)
[04:41] <swuboo> Trying it now.
[04:41] <swuboo> And yeah, that...
[04:41] <ladydoor> John[1] : ok...did you try sudo apt-get update?
[04:41] <swuboo> ...appears to be working.
[04:41] <John[1] > yes
[04:41] <John[1] > it appeared that is made the update
[04:42] <JoseStefan> jpjacobs, wouldnt know, just know that with bad ram nothing is "safe"
[04:42] <rocco> i've been working on a dhcp problem all day, trying to get my router to make my web server accessible to the outside world ... http://freeculture.homelinux.org  ... please click on the address and tell me if the web page is visible or not. thanx
[04:42] <swuboo> Yes, that appears to be working.
[04:42] <swuboo> Thanks, that appears to have been precisely the required step.
[04:43] <swuboo> Will I have to do that every time I want to boot, if I now do an install?
[04:43] <JoseStefan> rocco, No. That's more related to port forwarding, than DHCP
[04:43] <swuboo> Or will an actual hard drive install resolve this in and of itself?
[04:44] <rocco> JoseStefan, i know, but it seems that when i'm connecting to my router with dhcp, people can't even ping me!!!
[04:44] <nomin> The ongoing MythTV saga continues  http://www.linuxjournal.com/node/1000084
[04:44] <rocco> is the site accessible, by the way?
[04:44] <JoseStefan> no
[04:44] <longwave> swuboo: you can configure grub so that option is added by default when you boot
[04:44] <tritium> nomin: how so?
[04:44] <rocco> i have no idea as to what's going on
[04:45] <swuboo> I see.
[04:45] <longwave> swuboo: the bug report in launchpad suggests you may have problems with usb devices as well...
[04:45] <nomin> tritium:  mythtv is a challenge to install and configure
[04:45] <swuboo> Well, my keyboard and mouse are functioning normally.
[04:45] <swuboo> And those are the only USB devices I use.
[04:45] <tritium> nomin: yes
[04:46] <swuboo> Interestingly, the guy in the bug report has precisely the same CPU as I have.
[04:46] <longwave> swuboo: well, hopefully that was the only minor problem and the install will go smoothly :)
[04:46] <longwave> swuboo: same motherboard as well?
[04:46] <sky123> hi just installed ubuntu on an old  sun sparc netra t1.  Damn...never new it would be so easy...and it performs like a champ..
[04:46] <sky123> :)
[04:46] <swuboo> No, different motherboard.
[04:47] <swuboo> Lemme see if the chipset's the same, though.
[04:47] <sky123> Anyone know if there are zabbix packages available for ubuntu ??
[04:47] <swuboo> Huh.  Yeah, same chipset.
[04:47] <swuboo> I think.
[04:47] <swuboo> nVidia 570.
[04:47] <JoseStefan> !info zabbix
[04:47] <ubotu> Package zabbix does not exist in any distro I know
[04:47] <swuboo> His is nForce, mine's the SLI one.
[04:48] <sky123> JoeStefan: well there is my answer!...thanks
[04:48] <Jamminpotato> is anyone else surprised that thier isnt a fubuntu yet?
[04:48] <sky123> JoeStefan: will compile from source using build-essential
[04:48] <JoseStefan> sky123, it may still be a wrong answer
[04:48] <sky123> ;)
[04:48] <ladydoor> Jamminpotato: there was actually a thread about it on the forums
[04:48] <JoseStefan> sky123, the info command requires knowing the pkg name
[04:48] <sky123> I think the so-called agent is available...but that is it..
[04:48] <dmsantam> Jamminpotato im still waiting for cubuntu
[04:49] <ladydoor> dmsantam: cubuntu?
[04:49] <dmsantam> CLI
[04:49] <dmsantam> :)
[04:49] <ladydoor> Jamminpotato: personally *i'm* waiting for rpbuntu
[04:49] <ladydoor> (ratpoisonbuntu
[04:49] <ladydoor> )
[04:49] <swuboo> I stand corrected.
[04:49] <dmsantam> lol
[04:49] <eyequeue> dmsantam, install with the server cd in that case
[04:49] <swuboo> The fellow in the bug report and I have precisely the same CPU and precisely the same chipsets on our motherboards.
[04:50] <rocco> JoseStefan, would you mind pinging me to see if i'm accessible? the ip is 87.2.230.36
[04:50] <dmsantam> eyequeue yes, but cubuntu is such a catchy name
[04:50] <dmsantam> ;)
[04:50] <sky123> there is a cubunutu...sort of...get a sun ultra sparc...and voila..you have to connect via console...no keyboard...no monitor..just a wonderful serial connection...aka a cli
[04:50] <TSP_X> hi! :D
[04:50] <dmsantam> sky123 yeah :)
[04:50] <JoseStefan> rocco, no response
[04:50] <TSP_X> XFCE replace my ubuntu uplash screen the one that i see when i shutdown the system how can i fix this?
[04:50] <rocco> jeeze, what the devil is it with this thing???
[04:51] <longwave> swuboo: you may well encounter the same USB bug, then. you can also try running "dmesg" at a terminal and check it for any error messages related to USB or IRQs.
[04:51] <hoehaver> can someone please tell me of a client namely gaim that I can send and receive webcam video
[04:51] <JoseStefan> rocco, you must have a pretty good firewall
[04:51] <hoehaver> if I have to pic between the two ide rather receve...
[04:51] <hoehaver> but can someone help me. also...i would need detail instructions on how to install it...ive tried to do it before and it didn't work.
[04:52] <rocco> the funny thin is that when i rebooted in windows, everything worked and i was pingable by a friend of mine
[04:52] <nige> I am trying to install proftp and its installed, but when I try and login via IE I cant, I dont get a login box. But from the command line I can open a connection and am asked for username / password.
[04:52] <nige> any ideas
[04:52] <rocco> i honestly can't figure this one out
[04:52] <Jamminpotato> ladydoor, rpbuntu?
[04:53] <Ademan> is there any application that lets you list all tasks you need to complete, and assign priorities and "due dates" ?
[04:53] <Ademan> specifically for me to organize my homework
[04:53] <ladydoor> Jamminpotato: as i said, ratpoisonbuntu :-)
[04:53] <tritium> Ademan: evolution includes a task list
[04:53] <TSP_X> xubuntu destop replace my ubuntu uplash screen the one that i see when i shutdown the system how can i fix this?
[04:53] <Ademan> with priorities and such?
[04:53] <ladydoor> Jamminpotato: no special gui tools or anything allowed
[04:53] <Ademan> i've been using evolution, but i haven't gotten that deep
[04:54] <Jamminpotato> oh what is ratpoison, you always talk aobut it
[04:54] <ladydoor> Jamminpotato: it's the minimalist, evilest window manager :-)
[04:54] <rocco> does ubuntu come equipped with some sort of built-in firewall that i am not aware of???
[04:54] <Jamminpotato> ladydoor, more minimal than fluxbox?
[04:54] <ladydoor> Jamminpotato: it's slightly under-advertised in eyecandy-iferous ubuntu
[04:55] <TSP_X> where is the uplash configuration?
[04:55] <ladydoor> Jamminpotato: nongnu.org/ratpoison
[04:56] <Jamminpotato> www.nongnu.org/ratpoison
[04:56] <longwave> Ademan: you may want to try "planner", a project management application
[04:56] <rocco> JoseStefan, could there be a firewall that i don't know anything about. is there a way to find out?
[04:56] <Ademan> longwave: thanks i'll cehck it out
[04:56] <AustLaw`> when I press ctrl+alt+f1 and go to terminal, then ctrl+alt+f7 to return to gnome it turns to a black screen that I cannot exit. I have to reboot
[04:56] <ladydoor> Jamminpotato: basically, i think that ubuntu's focus is often too much  on eyecandy and gui tools...so i try to advertise for minimalism every now and then in the hope it'll catch on :-)
[04:56] <AustLaw`> anyone know why?
[04:56] <JoseStefan> rocco, start with your network hardware
[04:57] <swuboo> Alright; thank you very much folks.  That was extremely helpful.
[04:57] <Jamminpotato> ladydoor, xfce and flux are pretty minimal ratpoision is jsut extreme
[04:57] <longwave> AustLaw`: what video card/X driver?
[04:57] <ladydoor> Jamminpotato: fluxbox can be pretty eyecandyful
[04:57] <Jamminpotato> like 1995 called it wants it window manager back man
[04:57] <hoehaver> PLEASE
[04:57] <ladydoor> !shout
[04:57] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[04:58] <hoehaver> a client for cam support. for yahoo
[04:58] <AustLaw`> nvidia geforce fx 5950
[04:58] <longwave> !webcam
[04:58] <eyequeue> AustLaw`, try others than f7
[04:58] <hoehaver> WELL you can read upper case too
[04:58] <ubotu> webcam is now easy to install on Linux; instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[04:58] <AustLaw`> I did the nvidia-glx drivers in the packages
[04:58] <Tonren> What packages do I install to have Perl support?
[04:58] <cracka12> how do you list all the harddrives you have installed
[04:58] <hoehaver> plus its stupid to think uppercase is 'shouting'
[04:58] <hoehaver> that's stupid
[04:58] <rocco> JoseStefan, i practically rule that one out now, beacuase like i said i tried rebooting in windows and a friend of mine could ping me and port 80 was accessible too, so i guess i can get a website through there with no problem. i don't think it's the router
[04:58] <eyequeue> AustLaw`, mine moves to f10
[04:58] <AustLaw`> once I press F7, I cannot return to any of the terminals, stays black
[04:58] <sethk> Tonren, perl, to start with
[04:58] <jpjacobs> Tonren, think that's included in the base install
[04:58] <AustLaw`> f10 does nothing
[04:59] <tritium> hoehaver: calm down please
[04:59] <cracka12> what command will show you all the harddrives you have on a server
[04:59] <JoseStefan> rocco, do you have the same IP in windows and linux?
[04:59] <eyequeue> hoehaver, that is the convention and insulting us won't change that
[04:59] <Tonren> sethk: i am shamed
[04:59] <Skuz`> cracka12 are they being used? if so use mount
[04:59] <rocco> no. dynamic ip
[04:59] <sethk> Tonren, there are bunches of support packages as well, but that's where you start
[04:59] <Tonren> sethk: Usually it's not that simple.  You know, for "Java" it's like libsun-java-j2re-mocha-latte-dpkg-debian-humbajumba
[04:59] <JoseStefan> rocco, you might need to have the same IP on both counts
[04:59] <sethk> Tonren, I'd install perl-doc as well.
[05:00] <cracka12> Skuz` well im using an IBM server and i have put in 5 currently, techinically i could put in 9 but, its not picking up anything after sdc
[05:00] <jake1> how can i watch quicktime videos that are on websites in Ubuntu
[05:00] <jake1> ?
[05:00] <Skuz`> lmfao mocha latte
[05:00] <hoehaver> I am calm everyone
[05:00] <sethk> Tonren, quite true.  I expected to find a version number in the package name, but for once it is sensible
[05:00] <John[1] > when I run the desktop install for ubuntu I'm getting soem errors that says file ont found on the cd.
[05:00] <hoehaver> really I am
[05:00] <hoehaver> plus I didn't insult anyone.
[05:00] <hoehaver> you took something personal you shouldn't have
[05:00] <Tonren> John[1] : Did you check the CD for errors?
[05:00] <AustLaw`> what confuses me is that it loads ubuntu fine the first time
[05:00] <tritium> hoehaver: okay, so drop it
[05:00] <John[1] > It ran a few monemts ago with no errors
[05:00] <AustLaw`> but once I go terminal, then back, i cant get out of the black screen
[05:00] <longwave> AustLaw`: do you know which NVxx chipset you have on your card, or which model it is? there are a few relevant bugs in launchpad but they are chipset-specific
[05:01] <Tonren> hoehaver: You may be calm... but are you a bad enough dude to save the president from ninjas?
[05:01] <AustLaw`> it is the asus geforce 5950
[05:01] <david__> Hello!  I installed a broken package (a Brother printer driver) and now apt is broken.  It keeps saying I need to reinstall the package, but the installation from the .deb always fails.  How do I tell it to remove what it can and ignore the rest?
[05:01] <cracka12> Skuz` well im using an IBM server and i have put in 5 currently, techinically i could put in 9 but, its not picking up anything after sdc
[05:01] <AustLaw`> not sure which chipset exactly off hand
[05:01] <hoehaver> tonren maybe
[05:01] <madman__> does any one know where the Screensaver images are stored ?
[05:01] <mutk> hoehaver, Upper case is well known in IRC has meaning 'SHOUTING'. It is considered bad manners. Now that you know this, move..
[05:01] <hoehaver> it depends
[05:01] <mutk> on...
[05:02] <Tonren> david__: Try sudo apt-get install -f
[05:02] <AustLaw`> I have the box, it says that it is the ASUS V9980 Ultra card
[05:02] <longwave> AustLaw`: this is a known bug in the nvidia drivers
[05:02] <longwave> AustLaw`: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/58143
[05:02] <sethk> david__, try the easy way first, which is to run synaptic and try the repair operations available on the menus
[05:02] <AustLaw`> when I installed the drivers, I had to change the "nv" to read "nvidia" in the file
[05:02] <John[1] > Maybe I need to edit my source.list or something?
[05:02] <sethk> AustLaw`, nv is the open source nvidia driver.  nvidia is the proprietary one
[05:03] <longwave> AustLaw`: there is a workaround: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove the word "splash" from the line for the kernel you use
[05:03] <david__> This is the error synaptic gives: E: The package mfc4800lpr needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[05:03] <david__> E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report.
[05:04] <CokeNCode> ok, getting an error when i open tvtime 'cannot open capture device /dev/video0'
[05:04] <John[1] > how would I get and install webmin on my dapper
[05:04] <CokeNCode> i'm trying to view my tvtuner card
[05:04] <CokeNCode> what should i change the capture device to ?
[05:04] <Rookie-> !webmin
[05:04] <ubotu> webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. Please avoid using it.
[05:04] <david__> Also, I tried purging the package with dpkg and with apt-get, as well as force-all, remove, and --ignore-missing.  Nothing helps
[05:04] <YeTr2> I'm trying to configure Bmy usb joystick to use VisualBoy Advance, however the application I'm told to use segfaults when trying to run it. Does anyone know of a proper way to configure VisualBoy Advance to use my joystick?
[05:05] <dbzero> In an attempt to make VNC connections to :0 work correctly, I seem to have screwed up the VNC password.  I've used vncpasswd and deleted my ~/.vnc/passwd file, but no luck.  Any suggestions?
[05:05] <John[1] > Ok, I'm stuck on trying to get ubuntu desktop installed with no luck, this is a mad house!!!
[05:05] <sethk> dbzero, try deleting the entire ~/.vnc directory.
[05:05] <tecta> you don't have to download a cd to update the distro each time, right?
[05:05] <ladydoor> tecta: nope!
[05:06] <david__> tecta: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[05:06] <tecta> like.. apt-get dist upgrade or something?
[05:06] <CokeNCode> John[1] , yeh ... Ubuntu is now officially the most popular linux distro for desktop use ... twice as popular as its nearest competitor ... debian
[05:06] <AustLaw`> ok, i removed the "splash"
[05:06] <ladydoor> tecta: pretty much
[05:06] <longwave> david__: where did that package initially come from? it's not in the default repos
[05:06] <tecta> ladydoor, what's the diff between updating the distro and all the pkg's?
[05:06] <tritium> CokeNCode: that has been the case for over a year now
[05:06] <John[1] > Is there anyway I can get one on one help in here?
[05:06] <AustLaw`> longwave: what does removing the splash do exactly?
[05:06] <CokeNCode> tritium, it wasn't 'twice as popular' as debian for over a year
[05:06] <CokeNCode> usage is up
[05:06] <ladydoor> tecta: because before doing the dist-upgrade you change which repositories you're looking in
[05:06] <ladydoor> tecta: permanently
[05:07] <david__> longwave, brother's printer drivers for linux website.  I was trying to install a driver for my printer.  It came in a debian package.  Would you like the URL of the site it is from?
[05:07] <longwave> AustLaw`: there is a conflict between the splash screen and the nvidia glx driver; they currently cannot run together on ubuntu, it seems
[05:07] <maple> anyone here a big fan of MS and windows?
[05:07] <tecta> ladydoor, oh ok.. so do dist-upgrade first?
[05:07] <RodrigoX> is ubuntu easily than Fedora?
[05:07] <ladydoor> tecta: wat're you trying to do?
[05:07] <AustLaw`> longwave: it did fix the problem, thanks
[05:07] <longwave> AustLaw`: all you will lose is the logo on boot, instead you will get text scrolling past until X loads
[05:07] <tecta> ladydoor, well i have a old ubuntu cd, and don't wanna download a new one...
[05:07] <AustLaw`> longwave: oh yes I remember the little loading splash, the text is more than fine
[05:07] <JoseStefan> maple, i doubt you will find "big" fans, users maybe...
[05:07] <AustLaw`> thanks
[05:07] <Rookie-> maple - all systems are good, even m$ - all depence on what any are looking for
[05:07] <dbzero> sethk, No luck with rm -rf .vnc
[05:08] <ladydoor> tecta: aha. well, what you'll do is edit your /etc/apt/sources.list so that instead of "breezy" or "hoary" it says "dapper"
[05:08] <sethk> dbzero, did you try setting the password?  set it again to whatever it is supposed to be?
[05:08] <longwave> david__: have you tried downloading the .deb again and installing it with dpkg -i file.deb ?
[05:08] <ladydoor> tecta: you'll see what i'm talking about
[05:08] <david__> longwave, I have
[05:08] <david__> longwave, 3 times
[05:08] <sethk> dbzero, there must be another file somewhere; it can be found with strace.  possibly with lsof if you are lucky
[05:08] <tecta> ladydoor, alright... then just do apt-get dist-upgrade ?
[05:08] <longwave> david__: and apt still complains with that error about the cache?
[05:08] <delaney> is anyone aware of a program command or application that will inform me of the current refresh rate my monitor is running at
[05:08] <delaney> im in xubuntu
[05:09] <ladydoor> tecta: first, do sudo apt-get update
[05:09] <Skuz`> lol @ CokeNCode
[05:09] <ladydoor> tecta: then do sudo apt-get upgrade
[05:09] <david__> longwave, the .deb itself is broken.  The server's copy alway fails
[05:09] <ernie> hey i can't seem to be able to log in as root
[05:09] <ladydoor> !sudo
[05:09] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[05:09] <tecta> ladydoor, so apt-get update updates all the pkgs, then apt-get upgrade updates the mirrors?
[05:09] <Rookie-> ernie - sudo su -
[05:09] <kjm> !sudo >ernie
[05:09] <tritium> Rookie-: sudo -i
[05:09] <ernie> tryed it. pass isn't working
[05:09] <ladydoor> ernie: if you want, you can also set the root password with sudo passwd root
[05:09] <albacker> guys can someone help me ? i cant isntall libgtk2.0-dev : http://rafb.net/paste/results/uKzTqQ66.html
[05:09] <sky123> !cacti

[05:10] <ernie> hmm
[05:10] <shibathedog> Can anyone help me mount an NTFS Drive?
[05:10] <ernie> i'm tryin to get alien to work
[05:10] <tecta> shibathedog, mount -t ntfs /path/to/drive /path/to/mount/drive
[05:11] <shibathedog> thank you i will try that
[05:11] <ladydoor> tecta: no...sudo apt-get update downloads the latest list of packages (the most up-to-date one available in the repositories in the /etc/apt/sources.list)
[05:11] <david__> ernie: try this:  sudo alien -d RPM_TO_CONVERT_GOES_HERE
[05:11] <Skuz`> ernie type sudo passwd
[05:11] <Skuz`> then enter your new password for root
[05:11] <Rookie-> tritium - both works
[05:11] <ladydoor> tecta: and then sudo apt-get upgrade upgrades any packages
[05:11] <CokeNCode> man, in here reminds me of Bruce Almighty tonight ...
[05:11] <CokeNCode> my word
[05:11] <shibathedog> Also if i format a drive as FAT32, will Ubuntu automatically detect it and be able to use it with write access and everything?
[05:11] <tritium> Rookie-: yes, but -i is preferable
[05:11] <ladydoor> tecta: and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade upgrades your whole system
[05:11] <tecta> ladydoor, oh ok i see
[05:11] <Rookie-> get path with -i ?
[05:11] <ladydoor> CokeNCode: explain?
[05:11] <ernie> sudo alien -d
[05:11] <tritium> ernie: which package are you trying to use alien on?
[05:12] <longwave> david__: a thread on the ubuntu forums suggests "sudo dpkg --remove --force-depends --force-remove-reinstreq mfc4800lpr" *might* fix the cache error
[05:12] <ernie> ooo that poped up nicely
[05:12] <CokeNCode> ladydoor, bruce almighty, where everyone was asking bruce for help at the same time. (did you see the movie?)
[05:12] <ccahoon> hi
[05:12] <ladydoor> CokeNCode: no
[05:12] <dibblego> is there something that explains putting ubuntu desktop on a flash drive?
[05:12] <ccahoon> What do people do around here
[05:12] <flaccid> mount returns /dev/hda2 on /mnt/flaccid type vfat (rw,uid=1000,gid=1000) yet, the mask on each file is 500.root (not flaccid.flaccid) why is this?
[05:12] <ernie> i'm tryin to install limewire.rpm
[05:12] <CokeNCode> ladydoor, ahhhhh, ok ... well, i think you'd have to watch the movie to understand
[05:12] <ccahoon> ahhh
[05:12] <david__> longwave, that didn't work (just tried it)
[05:12] <ladydoor> CokeNCode: aha. i'll pass, but thank you :-)
[05:12] <dmsantam> ernie don't do that
[05:12] <dmsantam> ernie apt-get install frostwire
[05:12] <ernie> y?
[05:12] <tritium> !limewire > ernie
[05:12] <ccahoon> Who is ernie
[05:13] <dbzero> sethk, thanks for the pointer.  I don't have enough brains left in the tank to figure out strace tonight, but I'll take a look in the morning.
[05:13] <dibblego> !limewire > dibblego
[05:13] <david__> longwave, this is the error given to me by dpkg: /var/lib/dpkg/info/mfc4800lpr.postrm: line 3: /etc/init.d/lpd: No such file or directory
[05:13] <ladydoor> ccahoon: someone on the channel
[05:13] <ernie> i do'nt wanna use frostwire, its really unstable
[05:13] <tritium> ernie: see the URL I had ubotu sen dyou
[05:13] <tritium> send you, even
[05:13] <dmsantam> ernie its no less stable than limewire
[05:13] <dmsantam> !limewire
[05:13] <ernie> oh must of missed up
[05:13] <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.
[05:13] <sethk> david__, that's ok if there was an incomplete install of lpd
[05:13] <albacker> guys can someone help me ? i cant isntall libgtk2.0-dev : http://rafb.net/paste/results/uKzTqQ66.html
[05:13] <dmsantam> !FrostWire
[05:13] <ubotu> frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[05:13] <Abst> !java > Abst
[05:13] <kjm> !patience albacker
[05:13] <Abst> !frostwire > Abst
[05:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about patience albacker - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:14] <kjm> !patience > albacker
[05:14] <Abst> !patience > albacker
[05:14] <Abst> Oops
[05:14] <ernie> no i do got frostwire but for soem reason its really unstable
[05:14] <kjm> beat you :)
[05:14] <david__> sethk, so then if I reinstall lpd I will be able to uninstall mfc4800lprL
[05:14] <sethk> david__, it's worth a try.  I can't be sure, of course, that there is only one problem
[05:14] <ccahoon> hi
[05:14] <ladydoor> ccahoon: did you have a problem that you needed help with?
[05:15] <ccahoon> sup people
[05:15] <ernie> al right what i do with that file, i'm a noob
[05:15] <ccahoon> no
[05:15] <ladydoor> ccahoon: #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:15] <ccahoon> wat is a noob
[05:15] <ccahoon> actuallly i need help
[05:15] <ladydoor> ccahoon: #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:15] <ladydoor> ccahoon: that's a sudden change
[05:15] <ccahoon> on topic
[05:15] <ccahoon> yah
[05:15] <longwave> david__: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1427262&postcount=18 is for jedit, but the problem is very similar to yours
[05:15] <ccahoon> umm
[05:15] <tritium> !enter
[05:15] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[05:15] <shawnr_> are there any really good Java channels?
[05:15] <albacker> kjm, Abst well i have patience, as long as i know that someone is going to help me -_- or at least try to. i can't install libgtk2.0-dev that's terrible.. it means i can't compile GTK- packages :S
[05:15] <dibblego> shawnr_, not on freenode
[05:16] <ccahoon> wat other channel is there people on it
[05:16] <shawnr_> dibblego, which net ?
[05:16] <ladydoor> ccahoon: #ubuntu-offtopic!
[05:16] <dibblego> shawnr_, I prefer dal.net
[05:16] <shawnr_> good java rooms ? im guessing #java
[05:16] <kjm> albacker : Do you think that either (1) maybe people here don't know the answer, or (2) maybe helping others and you have to wait your turn?  Flooding the channel with the same request is rude, and annoying.
[05:16] <dibblego> shawnr_, right
[05:16] <david__> longwave, I'll try that all now
[05:16] <ccahoon> ladydoor im just asking
[05:16] <dibblego> shawnr_, #ubuntu-offtopic if you wish to discuss further
[05:17] <shawnr_> nope
[05:17] <ladydoor> ccahoon: well, i tried to tell you that before. then you tell me you do want help finding a channel to chat on.
[05:17] <ccahoon> yes i do
[05:17] <ladydoor> ccahoon: ok. go there. this one is for people with broken computers :-)
[05:18] <longwave> albacker: put your sources.list in a pastebin, it looks like you have conflicting packages available
[05:18] <ccahoon> okay where is there a channel that have people o it
[05:18] <ccahoon> lady door
[05:18] <albacker> longwave, : http://rafb.net/paste/results/W7CHja56.html
[05:19] <ladydoor> ccahoon: i don't know.
[05:19] <tritium> ladydoor: or questions related to ubuntu
[05:19] <ccahoon> ok dont have to be so rude
[05:19] <ladydoor> tritium: yea
[05:19] <ladydoor> ccahoon: i'm not trying to be rude
[05:19] <tritium> ccahoon: nobody is being rude.  Just helpful
[05:19] <xXErnieXx> hmm i don't knwo what to do all ive been dion is live installs
[05:20] <ladydoor> ccahoon:  i'm just rying to tell you which ubuntu channel is appropriate for non-support issues
[05:20] <sethk> xXErnieXx, is that a question?
[05:20] <longwave> albacker: that looks ok, have you run apt-get update recently?
[05:20] <albacker> longwave, yeah
[05:20] <xXErnieXx> sethk, uhh sry
[05:21] <ccahoon> ok so lady door im going to stay here
[05:21] <albacker> longwave, im reruning it to be sure though.. i bet that's not the reason of the problem :|
[05:21] <xXErnieXx> i'm tryin to install limewire and i'm tryin to lean how to manually install programs with out auto
[05:21] <ladydoor> ccahoon: sweet.
[05:21] <ccahoon> dont be so rude to though cuz i will be rude back
[05:22] <ladydoor> ccahoon: it was never my intention to be rude
[05:22] <albacker> longwave, nope. might it conflict with any other package i got from backports ?
[05:22] <cafuego> Being rude will get one removed from the channel, so it's just not clever.
[05:22] <ladydoor> ccahoon: i'm just trying to tell you that this is a support channel
[05:22] <ccahoon> while you were being rude
[05:22] <ladydoor> ccahoon: ok, i'm sorry
[05:22] <cafuego> Either in retaliation or not.
[05:22] <kjm> could we all take the "rude" conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic?
[05:22] <tritium> good idea
[05:22] <ccahoon> OK im soory
[05:23] <ccahoon> duh your sorry
[05:23] <longwave> albacker: possibly; did you install any X, library or development packages from there?
[05:23] <Xenguy> !CoC
[05:23] <ubotu> The Ubuntu Code of Conduct to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/
[05:23] <Xenguy> ccahoon: read that
[05:23] <ccahoon> read what
[05:23] <longwave> albacker: also, what does "apt-cache show libgtk2.0-dev" and similar for the other packages listed in the apt error message show?
[05:23] <albacker> longwave, some XGL libs.
[05:23] <Xenguy> !CoC > ccahoon
[05:23] <tapio> Can I safely remove all packages in /var/cache/apt/archives?
[05:23] <ccahoon> yes
[05:24] <tritium> ccahoon: that was uncalled for.  ladydoor was being kind to you.
[05:24] <Xenguy> heh
[05:24] <albacker> longwave, removeing the XGL libs might help ?
[05:24] <Xenguy> he quit
[05:24] <cafuego> tapio: Yup 'sudo apt-get clean'
[05:24] <Flannel> tapio: you can use apt-get to do it too! (clean)
[05:24] <JoseStefan> ok guys, it's in the past now ------------------------------
[05:24] <tapio> Thanks, guys :)
[05:24] <cafuego> The past is _so_ rude.
[05:24] <ladydoor> lol

[05:36] <tarver> I use to work on programs for wondows
[05:36] <kjm> tarver : But, wouldn't that be less efficient?  Also, will this run on PPC MACS?  or just the intel variety?
[05:36] <kjm> just curious......
[05:37] <jpjacobs> JoseStefan, or man hier
[05:37] <tarver> windows is easy to strip and play with and port to others, I already cracked vista
[05:37] <tarver> I'm a black hat
[05:38] <JoseStefan> jpjacobs, huh?
[05:38] <david__> longwave, thank you so much!!! That post fixed my problems!
[05:38] <fcua> ok so i uncommented the universe repositories, but i get the same error?
[05:38] <richie> I'm having trouble with my VLC plug-in.  When opening a page with an embedded video, the audio plays but the video doesn't.  All I see is a black square labled "No Picture."  How do I fix this?
[05:38] <ladydoor> fcua: ok, now you need to do sudo apt-get update, first
[05:38] <kjm> fcua : did you do apt-get update?
[05:38] <ladydoor> fcua: :-)
[05:38] <JoseStefan> fcua, try: sudo apt-get update
[05:38] <david__> longwave, although it took me a while--I had installed several similar drivers, trying to get it to work
[05:38] <jpjacobs> JoseStefan, instead of the link given by ! fhs
[05:38] <xXErnieXx> oh s*** jossestefan i just noticed the ubotu tab lol
[05:38] <fcua> ahhah, thanks
[05:39] <fcua> i must have skipped over reading that
[05:39] <fcua> thanks!!
[05:39] <JoseStefan> jpjacobs, good to know, the wiki is still nice too
[05:39] <ladydoor> fcua: np
[05:39] <xXErnieXx> yeah this should help alot
[05:40] <Wavesonics> HI, I just installed Ubuntu today and my sounds seems to be really flaky, it was working and now its not. and a restart didnt fix it. any 1 have any ideas why that could be?
[05:40] <letsgfuad> has anyone heard of amphache?
[05:40] <richie> I'm having trouble with my VLC plug-in.  When opening a page with an embedded video, the audio plays but the video doesn't.  All I see is a black square labled "No Picture."  How do I fix this?
[05:41] <phreq> I'm having a problem. I need to install the en_US ISO-8859-1 encoding, but all of the help on the web doesn't seem to work.
[05:41] <madman__> Wavesonics: have you ck-ed all the wiring connections, like for the speekers ?
[05:42] <phreq> I've noticed people saying that one should run dpkg-reconfigure locales, but that's not interactive for me, and I can't select anything.
[05:42] <infidel> anyone know how i can install the 32 wine onmy amd64 other than compiling from source/
[05:42] <phreq> infidel:linux32, maybe?
[05:42] <phreq> I know that's how you get compiled Skype to run on amd64
[05:42] <Wavesonics> yes they are all good
[05:43] <infidel> phreq: i was thinking just that
[05:43] <madman__> Wavesonics: have you looked thru the ubuntu guild ?
[05:43] <xXErnieXx> man i love this os
[05:43] <Wavesonics> no wheres that?
[05:43] <sethk> xXErnieXx, just wait until you know how to use it  :)
[05:44] <madman__> Wavesonics: system/help
[05:44] <brendonjt> kia ora one and all,  is therea linux utility  that will tell me what my hdd's are runing at ie dma 33/66/100 etc
[05:44] <xXErnieXx> really stable
[05:44] <Wavesonics> yes as soon as my sounds begins working reliably i will be very very happy w\ this OS
[05:44] <xXErnieXx> i <3 stablebility
[05:44] <madman__> Wavesonics: also have a look at volume control
[05:45] <Wavesonics> system volume is all the way up, is there a seperate mute some where?
[05:45] <phreq> brendonjt: hdparm?
[05:45] <phreq> Dunno if that'll help.
[05:46] <ladydoor> Wavesonics: there may be a PCM channel as well
[05:46] <brendonjt> phreq:  just type that in the terminal
[05:46] <madman__> Wavesonics: there will on the apps, do you see the little speeker at the top on the panel ?
[05:46] <ladydoor> Wavesonics: see if there's a volume manager maybe
[05:46] <Wavesonics> besides (in gnome) the voume control up top, where are there sounds controls?
[05:46] <phreq> Try man hdparm first, the hdparm command itself has a lot of options.
[05:46] <xXErnieXx> how do i get permission to write in the /bin/ folder
[05:47] <ladydoor> Wavesonics: try this:  sudo apt-get install alsamixer, run it in a terminal, and then see if there's any muted channels
[05:47] <Wavesonics> ho i may have found something
[05:47] <JoseStefan> xXErnieXx, use "sudo"
[05:47] <xXErnieXx> k
[05:47] <ladydoor> Wavesonics: sweet
[05:47] <madman__> Wavesonics:  sound control / applications/sound and vido
[05:47] <phreq> sudo hdparm /dev/hda (for the first disk of the first header, for IDE) will some overviewy stuff.
[05:47] <Wavesonics> cant find package
[05:47] <phreq> Has anyone else tried to install the en_US ISO-8859-1 locale?
[05:48] <xXErnieXx> al right i'll come back tomarrow night i got school
[05:48] <xXErnieXx> peace
[05:48] <Wavesonics> do i need to restart after changing the default soundcard?
[05:48] <xXErnieXx> oh nad thx for da help
[05:48] <ladydoor> Wavesonics: shouldn't ought to
[05:48] <madman__> Wavesonics: what package u looking for ?
[05:48] <Wavesonics> found the prob
[05:49] <Wavesonics> it is selecting my onboard sound as default
[05:49] <Wavesonics> i changed it to my SB Live card but it hasnt changed over
[05:49] <phreq> I wouldn't think so. In Linux usually the only thing you have to restart for is a kernal change.
[05:49] <Wavesonics> any ideas?
[05:49] <madman__> Wavesonics: good for you, good job
[05:49] <brendonjt> phreq:  cheers for that  it comes back as using dma =1(on)  but i want to know using dma what
[05:49] <phreq> brendonjt: Okay, one sec...
[05:49] <Wavesonics> man i have Compiz running on here, its so d@mn sweet
[05:50] <letsgfuad> what irc client is everyone using?
[05:51] <jpjacobs> nirc (naim) !
[05:51] <jbroome_> irssi
[05:51] <phreq> xchat
[05:51] <kjm> !offtopic letsgfuad
[05:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about offtopic letsgfuad - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:51] <kjm> !offtopic > letsgfuad
[05:51] <urug> #ubuntu-pl
[05:51] <brendonjt> xchat
[05:51] <madman__> !sound
[05:51] <ubotu> If sound is not working, first try system -> prefrences -> multimedia system selector change it to alsa. If you still have problems then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems
[05:51] <phreq> It doesn't appear that hdparm gives dma speed.
[05:52] <brendonjt> hmm true just looked but thank you  very usefull utility
[05:52] <madman__> Wavesonics: did you get that from the bot
[05:52] <Skuz`> mirc
[05:52] <phreq> Aye, it is, especially when Ubuntu tries to install without DMA on. :P
[05:52] <Wavesonics> yes looking into it now, thank you
[05:52] <Xenguy> kjm: please knock it off with the constant 'off-topic' notices
[05:53] <tjb891> does anyone know if installing the tor and privoxy packages changes any setting?
[05:53] <Wavesonics> I dont see "Multimedia system selector" in the pref menu though
[05:53] <kjm> Xenguy : I'm sorry, but it is hard to follow support chat when people dont follow the CoC, it is that simple really.
[05:53] <madman__> tjb891: just your browser i think
[05:54] <tjb891> so it will put firefox on tor even when i don't want to use it?
[05:54] <tritium> kjm: but it ends up spamming the channel even more
[05:54] <Xenguy> kjm: OK.  On the other hand, if that mechanism is over-used, it ceases to be as effective...
[05:54] <DanaG> I have a message on boot that doesn't show up in dmesg, and it scrolls by too fast.
[05:54] <brendonjt> phreq:  yeah as i think ubuntu  was setting my drive at dma66  when it should have been 33  i went in to my bios and set it for lba instead of auto
[05:54] <madman__> Wavesonics: have a look at the menu editor
[05:54] <DanaG> How can I pause the boot?
[05:54] <jpjacobs> DanaG, could help if you push scrollock
[05:54] <brendonjt> phreq:  so it looks like it should be using 33 now as the bios says it is
[05:54] <DanaG> It scrolls way beyond that.
[05:55] <brendonjt> DanaG: press the pause/break key at boot time
[05:55] <madman__> tjb891: you can set-up to do or not to do
[05:55] <cliffd> can anyone tell me whats playing the music that ba dum when I login? id like no sounds what so ever. I turned sounds off in gnome but that drum sound still plays when I log in. thanks.
[05:55] <Xenguy> kjm: personally I find that I could not survive IRC on any channel without being able to /ignore nicks for 30 minutes at a time (usually they are gone by the time 30 minutes expires)
[05:55] <DanaG> Pause doesn't do anything for me.
[05:55] <D-boy> hello all
[05:55] <kjm> Xenguy : I usually use that mechanism, but in a support channel, I think it's prudent to be able to read all peoples chat in case I can be of use.
[05:56] <Wavesonics> um. wheres the menu editor?
[05:56] <madman__> tjb891: tor doc will have all that for you to set-up firefox
[05:56] <phreq> I'm guessing it's gdm, cliffd
[05:56] <JoseStefan> Wavesonics, try right click, edit
[05:56] <phreq> cliffd: Go to system -> admin -> login
[05:56] <tjb891> thx
[05:56] <AustLaw> how do I get the little "minimize everything to desktop" button back?
[05:56] <kjm> Xenguy : anyways, I see your point, so I will refrain from excessive  !msg in the public chat......
[05:56] <tritium> AustLaw: add it to your panel
[05:56] <phreq> cliffd: then Accessibility, disable the sounds
[05:57] <madman__> Wavesonics: in the applications meun
[05:57] <AustLaw> ya, but I dont see it in the list of things to add
[05:57] <Xenguy> kjm: given that it is not a perfect world, I recommend '/ignore -replies -time 1800 <nick>' occasionally :-)
[05:57] <cliffd> phreq: thanks.
[05:57] <AustLaw> nm, i just didnt look hard enough
[05:57] <AustLaw> i see it now
[05:57] <phreq> cliffd: De nada.
[05:57] <kjm> Austlaw : should be under "Desktop and Windows"
[05:57] <Xenguy> cafuego: as you well know by now, the currency of IRC is attention (anyone is easily /ignored :-)
[05:58] <AustLaw> is it possible to say, but a little transparent clock on my desktop?
[05:58] <bruenig> AustLaw, gdesklets can do that
[05:58] <AustLaw> k will look it up
[05:58] <bruenig> !info gdesklets
[05:58] <ubotu> gdesklets: Architecture for desktop applets. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.35.3-1ubuntu3 (dapper), package size 465 kB, installed size 2448 kB
[05:58] <ladydoor> austlLaw you might try gdesklets
[05:58] <ACU> hi guys, If I want to capture realmedia video webstream what applications are the best
[05:59] <Xenguy> kjm: cheers
[05:59] <kjm> heh, this is weird.  I'm watching Lotr the two towers, and each time I get to the scence where Aragon falls off the cliff with the Dog.....Movie player gives me a warning : Source seems encrypted....play an DVD without libdvdcss.
[05:59] <kjm> Xenguy : :)
[05:59] <jbroome_> the encryption lives in the dog
[05:59] <DanaG> aah: fsck.vfat
[06:00] <DanaG> That's what I need
[06:00] <kjm> But, the DVD plays fine up to like 1.5 hours in
[06:00] <AustLaw> I have seen screenshots of osX looking menus, are those gdesklets?
[06:00] <cafuego> kjm: layer Transition may trigger slight annoyance?
[06:00] <ltR20^^> Hello, My friend switched to UBUNTU. He has AOL but he cant connect to the internet cause he has to DIAL in..how does he do this?
[06:00] <D-boy> hi guys newbie here
[06:00] <ladydoor> hello
[06:00] <DanaG> AustLaw: look up Cairo Clock, also.
[06:00] <bruenig> AustLaw, depends, gdesklets can do that. I wasn't too impressed with it but then again I hate that menu.
[06:00] <kjm> cafuego : huh ?
[06:00] <D-boy> i need of help with ubuntu v5.1
[06:01] <bruenig> AustLaw, also xfce has that as an option for one of its panels so you might have been seeing that
[06:01] <D-boy> anyone kind enough?
[06:01] <AustLaw> I dont really like it either, was just wondering
[06:01] <cafuego> kjm: Mebbe the dvd player has an issue with the VOB file it switches to at that time.
[06:01] <AustLaw> ok
[06:01] <JoseStefan> !anyone
[06:01] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[06:01] <bruenig> !ask
[06:01] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:01] <kjm> ah, but I have libdvdcss2 installed.....so, I don't know what the problem could be?
[06:02] <ladydoor> kjm: in my experience
[06:02] <Snake> I Need someone that knos more about ubuntu than me...anyone? :-P
[06:02] <brendonjt> kjm:  sounds tricky,  does it play ok  in other dvd players
[06:02] <bruenig> !anyone
[06:02] <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?
[06:02] <ladydoor> kjm: sometimes a dvd that's scratched or even smudged will be misread with an error
[06:02] <D-boy> ok then i just installed ubuntu v5.1 and the x server does not seem to run properly
[06:02] <cafuego> kjm: The movie is split into a set of 1Gb (or 2GB) files on the disc. I suspect the problem may be with one of those files; the encryption may be not the same as for the others.
[06:02] <bruenig> D-boy what specifically about xserver is wrong
[06:02] <D-boy> so the login mode is all in the terminal
[06:03] <kjm> brendonjt : yes, had no problems with it.....ladydoor : ah....I will check that.
[06:03] <bruenig> D-boy, after you login from the terminal does it take you to gnome?
[06:03] <maxblack> anyone have trouble with your Qt libraries not being found when installing Karamba, or really, any other app?
[06:03] <cafuego> kjm: or maybe it's the end of the disc, the movie continues on disc 2?
[06:03] <D-boy> it says the config is wrong
[06:03] <D-boy> no it does not
[06:03] <Snake> first off, I want to map my right shift key to be a "space" key. Then I want to fix my ubuntu to launch amarok when I press my "Start Media" button, thats currently set up for rythmbox
[06:03] <Snake> can anyone help?
[06:03] <bruenig> D-boy, try startx
[06:03] <kjm> cafuego : But, surely if the player can decrypt the first GB it will the 2nd etc. etc.?  No, all on one disc.
[06:03] <ACU> ubotu: figure of style difficult to implement: 1) what applications can I use to capture realmedia webstream 2)what text interface tool can I use to connect as a root to a remote server (to modify apache let's say)
[06:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about figure of style difficult to implement: 1) what applications can I use to capture realmedia webstream 2)what text interface tool can I use to connect as a root to a remote server (to modify apache let's say) - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:03] <D-boy> whats is that im a newbie
[06:03] <guest_> sweetpig_114@hotmail.com
[06:03] <bruenig> ACU, that is a bot
[06:04] <ladydoor> D-boy: it's a terminal command
[06:04] <cafuego> kjm: That depends; it might be worth checking the encryption in each of the individual files.
[06:04] <bruenig> D-boy, type "startx" in the terminal when you get it
[06:04] <JoseStefan> D-boy, have you considered ubuntu 6.06, a lot has been improved since then
[06:04] <bruenig> after you login of course
[06:04] <Snake> first off, I want to map my right shift key to be a "space" key. Then I want to fix my ubuntu to launch amarok when I press my "Start Media" button, thats currently set up for rythmbox
[06:04] <Snake> can anyone help?
[06:04] <ladydoor> D-boy: have you considered using dapper instead? it's the current stable version...
[06:04] <D-boy> i was hoping to install 5.1 and update
[06:05] <JoseStefan> D-boy, it would be a lot faster and easier to install 6.06
[06:05] <brendonjt> D-boy: sudo apt-get distro-update
[06:05] <D-boy> but i think you guys are right will try to get new version
[06:05] <bruenig> D-boy yeah do that
[06:05] <ladydoor> Snake: you need to install xmodmap and xbindkeys
[06:05] <cafuego> brendonjt: Did you mean dist-upgrade?
[06:05] <D-boy> i can't update
[06:05] <kjm> cafuego : It does make sense.....but would be strange.  First though, I'll attack this disc with rubbing alcohol and a lint free cloth :)
[06:05] <cafuego> kjm: aye
[06:05] <D-boy> i tried some commonds on the help site
[06:05] <StoneNote> D-boy, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#Upgrading_Ubuntu
[06:05] <Snake> ladydoor: thank you
[06:05] <ladydoor> Snake: xmodmap will allow you to remap your keys, and xbindkeys will allow you to assign a key to a program
[06:05] <brendonjt> cafuego:  opps me bad yip i did
[06:06] <bruenig> !Info xmodmap
[06:06] <ubotu> xmodmap: X input map modification. In component main, is optional. Version 1:1.0.0-0ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 18 kB, installed size 76 kB
[06:06] <nomasteryoda|w> cafuego, man Ubuntu ROCKS!
[06:06] <ladydoor> Snake: and if you need any help, feel free to ask
[06:06] <D-boy> but the console says can't find the file
[06:06] <nomasteryoda|w> just had to add that in
[06:06] <bruenig> D-boy download the .iso and burn it to disk
[06:06] <Snake> ladydoor: well its already assigned with the "keyboard shortcuts" but it trys to launch rythembox, rather than amarok
[06:06] <cliffd> are there any alt+tab replacements for gnome?
[06:06] <ltR20^^> Hello, My friend switched to UBUNTU. He has AOL but he cant connect to the internet cause he has to DIAL in..how does he do this?
[06:06] <bruenig> Snake, rhythmbox is probably the default media player
[06:06] <D-boy> will that my connection about 2 years
[06:06] <Snake> bruenig: how do I change that
[06:06] <Snake> is what im asking
[06:06] <z3r0> which kernel is evryone using here
[06:06] <bruenig> Snake, do you ever use rhythmbox?
[06:07] <ladydoor> Snake: aha...you need to edit that keyboard shortcut so that it'll specifically use amarok instead of "music-player" or whatever
[06:07] <Snake> bruenig: uninstalled
[06:07] <Snake> I hate that app
[06:07] <Snake> lol
[06:07] <bruenig> uninstalled, so what does it do when you try to launch it?
[06:07] <Snake> just says it cant find the command
[06:07] <bruenig> Snake, ok this is a quick fix
[06:07] <Snake> I need it to launch amarok instead, preferably
[06:07] <ladydoor> wd3: hello
[06:07] <Snake> bruenig: hit me
[06:07] <ACU> ltr20: I prety new but first you have to tell us: does s/he use a dial-up modem (internal or external), DSL or Cable ?
[06:07] <letsgfuad> whats a good music player for nix?
[06:07] <bruenig> open up a terminal and do this command "sudo ln -s /usr/bin/amarok /usr/bin/rhythmbox"
[06:08] <z3r0> quick question with iptables, if i upgrade my kernel do i haev to compile iptables on that kernel
[06:08] <Snake> ladydoor: amarok
[06:08] <Snake> :)
[06:08] <Snake> oops
[06:08] <Snake> letsgfuad: amarok
[06:08] <ladydoor> letsgfuad: what're you looking for? what kind of features?
[06:08] <DanaG> !modem
[06:08] <ubotu> You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DialupModemHowto
[06:08] <letsgfuad> Snake: ill check that out
[06:08] <D-boy> thanks everyone
[06:08] <letsgfuad> ladydoor: well something with a that can have a nice playlist,
[06:08] <witless> any idea why i can't install libgtk+2.0-dev? apt-get install tells me stuff like:  "libgtk2.0-dev: Depends: libpango1.0-dev (>= 1.10.0-2) but it is not going to be installed"
[06:09] <letsgfuad> ladydoor: I have all my music on an external drive, so something that will work with that
[06:09] <Snake> bruenig: that is such a ghetto fix :)
[06:09] <Snake> but it worked
[06:09] <ladydoor> letsgfuad: hmmm...graphikal, pretty terminal interface, or command-line?
[06:09] <Snake> thanks man
[06:09] <bruenig> Snake, what that does if you don't know is create a symbolic link so that whenever anything tries to launch rhythmbox, it is redirected to amarok
[06:09] <Snake> yea
[06:09] <Snake> thanks man :)
[06:09] <brendonjt> letsguad: amarok  it rocks  a really good x base player
[06:10] <Snake> should have thought of that
[06:10] <fyyrest0rm> Hi all..quick questino (I hope)..anyone have any experience with mp3 players (DAP's)? Just bought one, it uses mtp protocol (apparently).. the instructions says I have to use windows media player to get stuff to the player. Anyone know anything about it?
[06:10] <fyyrest0rm> *question
[06:10] <Snake> now... lets figure out xmodmap
[06:10] <ladydoor> fyyrest0rm: you might need wine
[06:10] <witless> i'm trying to build mozilla sunbird from source but dapper won't install stuff that libgtk2.0-dev depends on...
[06:10] <fyyrest0rm> ladydoor: have wine..tried to install WMP under wine but just errors saying something about not being to find windows updates lol
[06:10] <ladydoor> fyyrest0rm: :-(
[06:11] <Snake> ladydoor: im sorry to bug you, but can you explain to me exactly what I need to do with xmodmap? This man page is terriable
[06:11] <ladydoor> Snake: you're not bugging me
[06:11] <ACU> ltR20^^: I pretty new but first you have to tell us: does s/he use a dial-up modem (internal or external), DSL or Cable ? - If it is a Phone lIne Dial-up and has a Windows Modem - you are out of luck - if it is an external modem (or some true modem) you can install and use KPPP (you can install it both, in KDE or Gnome using Syynaptics)
[06:11] <bruenig> fyrrest0rm, not sure if this breaks the rules here but if you can get one of the "cracked" windows media player from bittorrent with the wga stuff stripped you could probably wine that
[06:11] <brendonjt> fyyrest0rm: that is the problem  with alot of that kind of stuff i am luvky my ipod  runs on linux under gtkpod
[06:11] <kjm> fyyrest0rm : most mp3 players will act as a usb drive so you can drag and drop files onto them.
[06:11] <Snake> ladydoor: would it be like xmodmap -e shift_r = Backspace or something?
[06:11] <tritium> hey Snake
[06:11] <ladydoor> Snake: what keys are you trying to remap? (first open .Xmodmap in your favorite text editor)
[06:11] <Snake> hiya tritium
[06:12] <ladydoor> Snake: it's better to use a .Xmodmap file
[06:12] <Snake> ladydoor: where is that located
[06:12] <kjm> ladydoor : lifesaver.  A little elbow grease, rubbing alchohol and my movie keeps playing.
[06:12] <kjm> ty
[06:12] <brendonjt> kjm:it depends if the files are stored in a sql database on the device like the ipod does
[06:12] <ladydoor> Snake: in your home dir. it might not exist yet :-)
[06:12] <ladydoor> kjm: sweeeeet!
[06:12] <fyyrest0rm> kjm: tried that as well..it shows up when I drag/drop it..but once I unplug it its gone
[06:12] <void^> fyyrest0rm: have a look at gnomad2.sourceforge.net
[06:12] <Snake> ladydoor: it doesnt :)
[06:12] <Torch1K24> I've finally gotten XGL working, but the problem i have is that now i have two XGL sessions to pick from xgl and XGl
[06:12] <letsgfuad> ladydoor: umm well i guess a nice gui
[06:12] <madman__> !FilePermissions
[06:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about FilePermissions - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:13] <bruenig> !permissions
[06:13] <ubotu> The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[06:13] <kjm> brendonjt : Ya,  the iPods are different, but a lot just scan directory tree for media.
[06:13] <ladydoor> Snake: cool beans. ok, so open that up and let me know when it's ready
[06:13] <ladydoor> *when you're ready
[06:13] <DanaG> VLC does many codecs.
[06:13] <ladydoor> letsgfuad: hmm, i don't know any of those. sorry :-)
[06:13] <Snake> okie dokie ladydoor
[06:13] <letsgfuad> lol np
[06:13] <DanaG> yIt just doesn't have many configuration options.
[06:13] <Snake> go for it
[06:13] <ladydoor> letsgfuad: you might like xmms
[06:13] <looktj> hmm
[06:13] <kjm> fyyrest0rm : What kind of player is it?
[06:13] <Snake> ladydoor: ~/.Xmodmap is open
[06:13] <letsgfuad> ill check that out
[06:13] <witless> !why_wont_libgtk2.-dev_install_on_my_system
[06:13] <ladydoor> letsgfuad: or rhythmbox
[06:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about why_wont_libgtk2.-dev_install_on_my_system - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:13] <brendonjt> kjm:my old philips microjukebox was the same ae had some silly database  for it's song  it is a stupid idea
[06:13] <witless> stupid bot.
[06:13] <fyyrest0rm> kjm: RCA h100
[06:14] <DanaG> I'd like a MobiBLU cube, myself.
[06:14] <ladydoor> Snake: sweet. ok, what keys were you trying to remap?
[06:14] <letsgfuad> im installing amarok now i will see how i like it
[06:14] <Snake> ladydoor: I Want to make my right shift key a space button
[06:14] <StoneNote> witless, libgtk2.-dev?  you mean libgtk2-dev yes?
[06:14] <kjm> brendonjt : depends on which side you're on......the manufacturers sure love locking us into using their methods :)
[06:14] <DanaG> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=733865
[06:14] <ladydoor> Snake: for serious? that'll be hard to type...but ok...just a sec
[06:14] <DanaG> er, that's a fix for "shift-backspace kills X"
[06:14] <bruenig> letsgfuad, I would recommend doing sudo aptitude install amarok, because if you use apt-get, uninstalling it will not allow you to remove the enormous amount of kde libs necessary
[06:14] <brendonjt> letsgfuad: don't forget to install the mp3 codecs as well
[06:15] <Snake> ladydoor: na its to loud with my spacebar, wait, I can have the spacebar and the shift key mapped to space right??
[06:15] <looktj> lol snake
[06:15] <brendonjt> kjm:your right there itunes is a mess didn't even like it on the mac
[06:15] <Snake> I hope
[06:15] <Snake> ladydoor: also, im on a lappy, they kb is nice and small :)
[06:15] <ladydoor> Snake: i should think so. i'm just trying to find the command to dump your current config
[06:15] <DanaG> http://peter.hybridweb.co.uk/blog/2006/07/05/xgl-shift-backspace/
[06:15] <Snake> okay
[06:16] <letsgfuad> brendonjt: how do i do that?

[06:17] <ladydoor> ok, Snake? do this in a terminal:  dumpkeys|less
[06:18] <letsgfuad> so in amarok, how do i get a library from an external HD
[06:18] <Snake> ladydoor: Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console
[06:18] <DanaG> Nice thingy: http://www.anythingbutipod.com/archives/2005/07/mobiblu-dah1500-review.php
[06:18] <ladydoor> Snake: i'm sorry?
[06:18] <DanaG> Gnome auto-mounts for you.
[06:18] <Snake> ladydoor: thats the output
[06:18] <ladydoor> Snake: oh. do which dumpkeys to see if it's installed...
[06:19] <Snake> ok
[06:19] <Snake> ladydoor: incoming
[06:19] <Snake> ken@ubuntu:~$ which dumpkeys
[06:19] <Snake> /usr/bin/dumpkeys
[06:19] <yggdrasil> hello can somone help me mount a usb drive in a console only ubuntu box ?
[06:19] <witless> StoneNote: sorry, libgtk2.0-dev
[06:19] <ladydoor> yggdrasil: just a sec
[06:20] <ladydoor> Snake: ok, do dumpkeys > keymap
[06:20] <bruenig> yggdrasil, what is the name of the usb drive
[06:20] <reptyle> ladydoor: sudo dumpkeys :)
[06:20] <ladydoor> Snake: then less keymap
[06:20] <yggdrasil> cool,
[06:20] <yggdrasil> i dont know
[06:20] <yggdrasil> can we talk in pm please ?
[06:20] <ladydoor> reptyle: i don't need to use sudo on mine...
[06:20] <reptyle> or in a vt :)
[06:20] <bruenig> you need to know the name to mount it
[06:20] <Snake> uhhh
[06:20] <Snake> ladydoor: nothin?
[06:20] <yggdrasil> well how do i find out the name ?
[06:20] <ladydoor> yggdrasil: when you insert it, do dmsg|tail
[06:20] <yggdrasil> yea
[06:20] <ladydoor> Snake: you mean it's a blank file?
[06:20] <Snake> ladydoor: incoming
[06:20] <Snake> ken@ubuntu:~$ dumpkeys > keymap
[06:20] <Snake> Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console
[06:21] <Snake> ladydoor: then less keymap is blank
[06:21] <Snake> yes
[06:21] <ladydoor> Snake: you are in X, right?
[06:21] <witless> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22114  <-- my pain
[06:21] <ladydoor> Snake: what term are you using?
[06:21] <yggdrasil> ok well its a bit more complicated that this... this is a mac clone . running ubuntu and i installed a usb / firewire /nick pci card not sure if the usb part of this system is working...
[06:21] <Snake> ladydoor: Im in gnome with a terminal open
[06:21] <Snake> ladydoor: gnome-terminal
[06:21] <kjm> fyyrest0rm - I'm not sure.   But it seems that konquerer with the RCA's is a little sketchy at the drag and drop.  Wonder if you can copy the files over using CLI ?  I just googled around quickly.  Not much more use to you though.
[06:21] <Ademan> i know its stupid, but can you cd "~/" ?
[06:21] <tehsu> i have a intel wireless card on my laptop, and i built the kernel with a module for it, but for some reason it wont show up.. what am i missing?
[06:22] <ladydoor> Snake: hmmm...try it in an xterm (<alt>f2, type xterm, hit <enter>
[06:22] <ladydoor> )
[06:22] <bruenig> witless, looks like major dependency problems
[06:22] <brendonjt> hard to say  at this point
[06:22] <bruenig> might break a lot if you do that
[06:22] <ladydoor> Snake: failing that, try it with sudo
[06:22] <tritium> tehsu: which card?  Why did you build the module?
[06:22] <yggdrasil> ladydoor when i lspci i see usb stuff .. i dont see any usb stuf in dmesg and its plugged in right now...
[06:22] <sky123> cacti was giving me fits to install....but i learned of a new command that may help out people for removal of packages...
[06:22] <tehsu> tritium: i copied the original config that came when i installed ubuntu..
[06:22] <tehsu> intell pro 2200
[06:22] <tehsu> b/g
[06:22] <witless> bruenig: i won't force it.  is this a problem in ubuntu's repositories?
[06:22] <ladydoor> yggdrasil: unplug it and see if any usb stuff comes up
[06:22] <sky123> apt-get --purge remove blah
[06:22] <Snake> ladydoor: sudo did it
[06:22] <tritium> tehsu: that module is already included by default
[06:23] <Snake> ladydoor: what now?
[06:23] <tritium> tehsu: works out of the box
[06:23] <ladydoor> Snake: sweet. so now you're looking at a bunch of key info?
[06:23] <bruenig> witless, try the deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gtk+2.0/libgtk2.0-dev_2.8.17-1ubuntu5_i386.deb
[06:23] <Snake> ladydoor: correcty
[06:23] <tehsu> tritium: right, but if the original kernel works fine, why does the new one cause problems
[06:23] <yggdrasil> ladydoor ok.
[06:23] <ladydoor> Snake: find the keycode for the shift you want to replace and the keycode for the space bar and write them down or something
[06:23] <tritium> tehsu: which new one?
[06:23] <bruenig> however if dpkg rejects it you might have the same issues
[06:23] <witless> bruenig: any idea why it doesn't work through apt?
[06:23] <ladydoor> yggdrasil: and then try dmsg -tail again
[06:23] <Snake> ladydoor: psh writing.. we have gedit for that
[06:23] <Snake> :-P
[06:23] <tehsu> tritium: im trying to control the Vcore on my centrino, and i have to rebuild the kernel..
[06:24] <ladydoor> Snake: meh. i prefer emacs
[06:24] <ladydoor> haha
[06:24] <Snake> ladydoor: just as well
[06:24] <ladydoor> Snake: ok, so let me know when you're ready :-)
[06:24] <fyyrest0rm> kdm: i'll give it a shot..looking at gnomad2 as well
[06:24] <tritium> tehsu: must be something with your build.  You are using ubuntu linux-source package?
[06:24] <tehsu> tritium: yes
[06:25] <tehsu> tritium: actually i dont think i had linuxsource..
[06:25] <tehsu> maybe thats what i did wrong
[06:25] <ladydoor> Snake: you should probably also write down the name of the key
[06:25] <tehsu> tritium: i just apt-get'd it and it installed
[06:25] <tehsu> can i reboot or do i have to rebuild kernel
[06:25] <ladydoor> (i.e., for keycode 1 you would write down keycode 1 Escape
[06:25] <Snake> ladydoor: okay so like this:
[06:25] <tritium> tehsu: it is not a linux-image package, so if you want to use it, you need to build from it
[06:25] <Snake> keycode  54 = Shift
[06:25] <Snake> keycode  57 = space
[06:26] <Snake> thats what mine said
[06:26] <lwizardl> hi
[06:26] <tehsu> tritium: ook
[06:26] <Snake> ladydoor: or do I need all this: (small flood)
[06:26] <Snake> keycode  57 = space control keycode  57 = nul alt     keycode  57 = Meta_space shift   alt     keycode  57 = Meta_space control alt     keycode  57 = Meta_nul
[06:26] <tritium> Snake: you channel spammer...
[06:26] <Snake> tritium: it was only 5 lines
[06:26] <tritium> Snake: I know ;)
[06:27] <tehsu> tritium: im using this to build is it right? make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version -uservcore --revision 1 kernel-image
[06:27] <ladydoor> Snake: i don't know. i think that just the first will do
[06:27] <Snake> ladydoor: sounds good
[06:27] <tehsu> uh that didnt come otu right for me
[06:27] <Snake> ladydoor: is this fixable when my kb gets screwed up?
[06:27] <Snake> :)
[06:27] <lwizardl> has anyone here setup an ubuntu box to be used as a nas?
[06:27] <tritium> tehsu: looks roughly correct
[06:27] <ladydoor> Snake: it should be reversible, yes
[06:27] <Snake> ladydoor: alright
[06:27] <tehsu> tritium: if i just reuse that will it pick up the kernel-package?
[06:27] <Snake> ladydoor: so what now
[06:27] <tritium> tehsu: what do you mean?
[06:28] <ladydoor> Snake: ok...enter a line that looks like this:
[06:28] <ladydoor> Snake: deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt dapper main
[06:28] <ladydoor> deb-src http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt dapper main
[06:28] <tehsu> i patched the linux-source-2.6.15
[06:28] <ladydoor> #not like that
[06:28] <ladydoor> Snake: like this: remove Lock = Caps_Lock
[06:28] <tehsu> so i can edit the centrino Vcore on the fly
[06:28] <Snake> wah?
[06:28] <tehsu> and im following the directions
[06:28] <ladydoor> Snake: only, say, remove Shift = Shift_L
[06:28] <Snake> ah
[06:28] <Snake> ladydoor: where at?
[06:28] <DanaG> Which kernel source is better to customize: the one from Apt, or the one from Git?
[06:28] <ladydoor> Snake: just at the top of that .Xmodmap file
[06:29] <Snake> oh ok
[06:29] <ladydoor> Snake: and then another one for space
[06:29] <tehsu> tritium: i think that is what i needed (kernel-package)
[06:29] <Snake> ladydoor: okay.
[06:29] <fyyrest0rm> kjm: CLI seems to work just fine..go figure
[06:29] <DanaG> I wish the Ubuntu kernel included vesafb-tng
[06:29] <Snake> ladydoor: so remove Space = Space?
[06:29] <Snake> or what?
[06:29] <tritium> tehsu: yes, using kernel-package is good
[06:29] <ladydoor> Snake: shiny...i guess
[06:30] <tehsu> tritium: ok thanx man alot of help :)
[06:30] <Snake> okie dokie.
[06:30] <Snake> ladydoor: I hope you know what your doing
[06:30] <Snake> :-P
[06:30] <ltR20^^> Hello, My friend switched to UBUNTU. He has AOL but he cant connect to the internet cause he has to DIAL in..how does he do this?
[06:30] <Snake> ladydoor: alright I got those, feel free to continue when your ready
[06:30] <ladydoor> then do something like this: keysym Control_L = Caps_Lock (only, say, Shift_L = Space or whatever)
[06:31] <AustLaw> what are some good media players? im use to winamp
[06:31] <ladydoor> Snake: and an identical one just the other way around ( Space = Shift_L or whatever)
[06:31] <Snake> ok
[06:31] <DanaG> I like Amarok
[06:31] <DanaG> Beep-Media-Player is also nice, but it's not my preference.\
[06:31] <kjm> !modem > ltR20^^
[06:31] <ladydoor> Snake: and finally, lines along these lines:
[06:32] <ladydoor> add Space = Space
[06:32] <lwizardl> if i wanted to setup a ubuntu pc to be used as nas (network accessible storage) including multi-users how would i go about it?
[06:32] <Justin_> Is there any good NES emulators for Ubuntu anyone has used?
[06:32] <Snake> okay that was weird
[06:32] <ladydoor> s-ndh-c: add Shift = Shift_L
[06:32] <Snake> ladydoor: again, alright thats done, whats next
[06:32] <yggdrasil> ladydoor ok got this [702374.429874]  usb 3-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2
[06:32] <ladydoor> s-ndh-c: sorry, that was for snake
[06:32] <yggdrasil> and thats all..
[06:33] <ladydoor> add Shift = Shift_L
[06:33] <Snake> ladydoor: done
[06:33] <ladydoor> Snake: and the same for space
[06:33] <ladydoor> oh
[06:33] <Snake> ok
[06:33] <ladydoor> sweet...

[06:33] <Snake> ladydoor: hang on can you review first? Ill pastebin
[06:34] <ladydoor> Snake: if it doesn't work, then do xmodmap .Xmodmap again

[06:43] <Juanjo> help me
[06:43] <maple> if I lost volume control beside the clock in gnome how do I get it back?
[06:43] <maple> I can open it via terminal still
[06:43] <maple> and I still have sound
[06:44] <Abst> Right click the panel at the top
[06:44] <Abst> Click add to panel
[06:44] <Abst> Under sys & hardware
[06:44] <maple> ok
[06:45] <kjm> from what I am finding around, you'll need to change its permissions to edit, you can then change them back to -rw-r.....
[06:45] <madman__> kjm: gedit reports:You do not have the permissions necessary to open the file.
[06:45] <kjm> madman_:from what I am finding around, you'll need to change its permissions to edit, you can then change them back to -rw-r.....
[06:45] <maple> I was trying to upgrade the SB live drivers because the bass and treble controls don't work properly and the new drivers just kept locking up gnome -_-
 help what?
[06:45] <kjm> madman: so, as root you could $chmod 777 /etc/shadow
[06:45] <tehsu> Warning: PCI driver ipw2200 has a struct device_driver shutdown method, please update << any ideas?
[06:45] <kjm> madman_ : then edit, then change permissions back.
[06:46] <AustLaw> how do I setup my sound card? does not apear to be working
[06:46] <tehsu> this makes no sense, it works fine with the out of the box kernel but if i make a kernel it doesnt work
[06:46] <madman__> kjm: sudo -l ?
[06:46] <kjm> madman : no.  sudo chmod 777 /etc/shadow
[06:47] <kjm> madman : You can then edit it as sudo.  Do whatever you wanted to do, then sudo chmod <I'd need to look up number> /etc/shadow
[06:47] <tehsu> how do i update the kernel theone im downloading is 2.6.15.7

[06:48] <kjm> to reestablish permissions sudo chmod 64 /etc/shadow
[06:49] <kjm> mister_roboto : yes, but only briefly?  If you change permissions back it shouldn't affect system to bad.

[06:50] <Torch1K24> I've finally gotten XGL working, but the problem i have is that now i have two XGL sessions to pick from xgl and XGl
[06:50] <kjm> mister_roboto : He's getting permission errors when attempting $sudo edit /etc/shadow
[06:50] <tehsu> anyone here setup the Vcore on the fly kernel?
[06:50] <Torch1K24> P.S. This is my second day with Ubuntu
[06:50] <kjm> mister_roboto : so workaround is give permission to yourself, do what you want, and then fix it.
[06:50] <AustLaw> are there any tutorials on getting sound card working?
[06:50] <phenol> torchik try both
[06:50] <phenol> try xgl
[06:50] <phenol> lowercase
[06:50] <phenol> first
[06:50] <mister_roboto> kjm: he should not if it's writable by root.   should work with 640, the default perms
[06:51] <Torch1K24> both work just fine
[06:51] <Torch1K24> i just want to get rid of one of them
[06:51] <kjm> mister_roboto : yes, it should.  But it doesn't seem to be...
[06:51] <mister_roboto> kjm: but he shouldn't be modifying that directly in the first place
[06:51] <mister_roboto> kdm: useradd or usermod will do the trick
[06:51] <kjm> mister_roboto : I assume that people have their reasons for doing things. . . .whether they should or not....
[06:52] <kjm> :)
[06:52] <mister_roboto> kjm:   :)   indeed
[06:52] <tritium> tehsu: sorry, I was away
[06:52] <kjm> mister_roboto : usermod should work, and probably a few keystrokes less than my workaround.
[06:52] <DeafGeek> I am trying to remove this nagios-mysql file which is causing problems. How can I remove that?
[06:53] <tehsu> tritium: if the kernel has support for the module then why wouldnt it work?
[06:53] <madman__> mister_roboto: i'm just looking, i have a thing about being lock-out or locked-up :)
[06:53] <|thunder> I need help. I've just got firefox32+flash32 running on my ubuntu64. I can run the 32 bti just fine and flash+sound is working. However when I double click a link on my desktop it opens up the 64  bit browser not the 32 bit. I tried changing the command in System/PreferedApps, however it still just starts 64 bit firefox. I've also tried redirecting the soft link in /usr/bin and still it starts the 64 bit. its frustrating.
[06:54] <tritium> tehsu: firmware issue, perhaps
[06:54] <tehsu> tritium: did u see the error?

[06:55] <tjb> Does this page contain LiveCDs?  http://www.ubuntu.com/download/
[06:55] <madman__> kjm: now when i close this shadow file. to put back like i was not there is sudo chmod 64 /etc/shadow ?
[06:56] <kjm> $sudo chmod 640 /etc/shadow
[06:56] <kjm> madman : last one I had a typo :(
[06:56] <madman__> got it
[06:56] <madman__> wish me luck
[06:57] <kjm> madman_ : good luck
[06:57] <madman__> ty
[06:57] <kjm> backup the file first.................
[06:57] <Madpilot> tjb, yes - get the desktop ISOs
[06:57] <tjb> Does this ( https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ ) ship LiveDCs?
[06:57] <tabman> I want to completely remove OpenOffice.org from my Ubuntu in one step, is it possible, there are so many packages of openoffice installed ?
[06:57] <kjm> tjb - yes
[06:57] <Madpilot> tjb, yes, that's all they ship - the LiveCDs w/ livecd installer
[06:58] <tjb> So are all downloads LiveCDs?
[06:58] <Nitrobass24> i cant get my win xp pro clients to login to samba
[06:58] <kjm> tjb - yup
[06:58] <tjb> I see.
[06:58] <tritium> tjb: no, there are other images
[06:58] <tritium> tjb: alternate and server
[06:58] <Madpilot> tjb, no, you can get the 'alternate' ISO download
[06:58] <tjb> Should I get the CD or DVD version if I download?
[06:58] <madman__> kjm: to late, all is fine, i can still see you :-)
[06:58] <kjm> tjb - well, he's more right.
[06:58] <marshall_> hey guys
[06:58] <kjm> madman_ : good to hear :)
[06:58] <marshall_> is arch linux good?
[06:59] <Madpilot> tjb, CD is a shorter download; DVD has more stuff if you're going to be installing on an offline system - your call.
[06:59] <tjb> Okay.
[06:59] <Madpilot> marshall_, this is #ubuntu, not #arch...
[06:59] <Nitrobass24> anyone good with samba file servers?
[06:59] <tjb> What do I get though?  The are so many choices.
[06:59] <tritium> Madpilot: it is?  doh!
[06:59] <kjm> marshall_ : I've tried it, it isn't bad.  A little more work under the hood to get it and keep it running.  But, pacman is good.
[06:59] <tjb> I'm on this page: http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/releases.ubuntu.com/6.06/
[06:59] <ripper> has anyone setup a shoutcast server (not icecast) with ubuntu?
[06:59] <marshall_> kjm:  ok
[06:59] <ripper> !shoutcast
[06:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about shoutcast - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:00] <jman8888> tjb, I suggest a torrent. They're Fast.
[07:00] <kjm> tjb : Most probably ubuntu-6.06.1-desktop-i386.iso
[07:00] <madman__> the only thing i got agaisnt ubuntu she has me locked out of some files. maybe she thinks she no's whats best for me.
[07:00] <JoseStefan> tjb, take a look at the HEADER file
[07:00] <tjb> kjm: I'll try that.
[07:01] <JoseStefan> tjb, HEADER.html
[07:01] <Madpilot> madman__, "locked you out"? Huh? There's files that're owned by root, not the user, if that's what you mean...
[07:01] <marshall_> kjm:  whats pacman?
[07:01] <AndrukTatum> madman__: probably, i know its best for me.  and, linux doesnt protect its conf files, but it does automatically back them up when you change them (very, very sweet)
[07:01] <tjb> Okay, thanks.
[07:01] <tjb> That first screen is far too confusing for newcomers, IMO.
[07:02] <JoseStefan> tjb, that a misconfiguration of that particular web server, others show the header by default
[07:02] <madman__> Madpilot: i am the owner
[07:02] <kjm> marshall_ : pacman is the package managment system used by arch linux.  Similar to BSD ports system.
[07:02] <tjb> Ah.
[07:02] <rocco> guys, i'm behind a router here. now, i'm trying to set up a web server, and having dynamic ip, i need to know my address, yet the only thing i get is tha ip address of the router!!! how can i figure out which one is assigned to me if any?
[07:02] <marshall_> kjm:  is it better than apt?
[07:02] <tjb> Oh yeah -- if I use the US one I see the easier page straight away.
[07:02] <Madpilot> madman__, are you talking about files in the / (root or File System) section of the Ubuntu install, or about something different?
[07:02] <kjm> marshall_ : Well, I stopped using arch, so that answers part of the question :).  It is a similar system.  Apt is more mature.
[07:03] <ripper> could someone help me get shoutcast kicking on ubuntu?
[07:03] <AndrukTatum> ripper: have you tried searching on synaptic or apt-get for shoutcast?
[07:03] <FirstLite> rocco: go to whatismyip.com
[07:04] <marshall_> kjm:  o wicked
[07:04] <rocco> JoseStefan, can you try to ping me again? i think i finally got it (partially at least) worked out. this time it's 87.2.230.118
[07:04] <madman__> Madpilot: ubuntu is on my machine. i'm not on her machine. yes i'm talking about the root and file system. why does ubuntu stop me from opening files ?
[07:04] <ripper> yes with no luck
[07:04] <Madpilot> madman__, because they're owned by the system, not by the user...
[07:04] <madman__> how do i get to open all the files ?
[07:05] <tjb> Is it possible to use Ubuntu on a LiveCD for day-to-day tasks?
[07:05] <tehsu_> i dont think this will eve work for me
[07:05] <rocco> FirstLite: same ip address, but it's the router. i'm behind the router. i have an internal address of 192.168.1.200, but i can't understand how someone from the outside can reach me
[07:05] <tjb> I kinda want to install, but I partioning is risky, I heard.
[07:05] <tabman>  I want to completely remove OpenOffice.org from my Ubuntu in one step, is it possible, there are so many packages of openoffice installed ?
[07:05] <Madpilot> madman__, Linux is designed for multiple-user systems, where having everything "owned by the user" doesn't make much sense
[07:06] <jman8888> Do you think Linspire would ever make CNR for ubuntu?
[07:06] <Madpilot> tjb, if you've got a fast enough computer, the LiveCD can work for day-to-day stuff; installing is still a far better way to go
[07:06] <tjb> Madpilot: Acknowledged.
[07:06] <hermes01> Anyone here familiar with Cygwin?  (no one is around in #cygwin)...
[07:06] <rocco> FisrtLite: in any case, could you ping me to see if at least the router is visible from where you are?
[07:06] <FirstLite> rocco: They can ping your external IP address, but the router might not let the pings through
[07:06] <tjb> Madpilot: Is installing a dual-boot with NTFS Windows risky though?
[07:06] <brendonjt> tabman:  sudo apt-get remove openoffice
[07:07] <Madpilot> tjb, there's lots of people who've done it, not many seem to have issues.

[07:07] <tehsu_> tritium: any ideas how how to fix this
[07:07] <AustLaw> I dont see an option to change the toolbar in normal file navigation
[07:07] <madman__> how do i get permmsion to open all files ? that is my question.
[07:07] <Madpilot> tjb, have a look at the first URL in ubotu's post above ^^^
[07:07] <tabman> brendonjt: while trying to remove some of the openoffice packages it also tells me to remove ubuntu-desktop ? which is worrying
[07:07] <tjb> Okay.
[07:07] <FirstLite> rocco: I can ping you at the 87... IP
[07:07] <AustLaw> the icons are huge with text, can I remove the text?
[07:07] <JoseStefan> rocco, ping works
[07:07] <tjb> "This page does not exist yet."

[07:08] <rocco> FirstLite: given that 87.2.230.118 is my router's assigned ip and that my own static ip is 192.168.1.200, where am i at from the outside world? i hope i'm making some sense here :))
[07:08] <infidel> damn i just installed wine and internet explorer on my amd64 wahooo :D
[07:08] <AustLaw> its the "main toolbar" I was to change
[07:08] <iliketoprogram> hiya!  with enlightenment, can any  of you tell me how i can make it (instead of 2 desktops with 2 screens each) 9 desktops with 4 screens each?
[07:08] <madman__> Madpilot: ty
[07:08] <jman8888> How much knowlege would it take to make a Apt-get frontend that is similar to cnr. I would love it because i like to know what programs look like before i install.
[07:08] <brendonjt> tabman:  yip the desktop files for openoffice, it happened to me one other time removing evolution  it said that package as well,
[07:08] <rocco> Whew!!! thanks JoseStefan! good news at last
[07:08] <tabman> brendonjt: so that shouldn't be a problem ?
[07:08] <brendonjt> tabman:  but hey  i can still boot into gnome  no worries
[07:09] <nickipee> hello quick question: how do i add a terminal panel button in xfce, what is the path for the teminal
[07:09] <FirstLite> You're probably at the 87... IP as far as the outside world is concerned.  The router is presumably rewriting the packets to change the IP ("NAT") when it sends them to you
[07:09] <tehsu_> i feel like banging my head now
[07:09] <Madpilot> brendonjt, the "ubuntu-desktop" package only matters when it's time to upgrade your Ubuntu - if it's missing the rest of the time, the system doesn't care
[07:09] <brendonjt> tabman:  shouldn't be it only removes the openoffice dekstop  that is what i get from it,  you can do it from synaptic as well
[07:09] <FirstLite> rocco: The 192... is only used on the local network behind the router
[07:10] <DanaG> Too bad you can't use UPnP in Linux.
[07:10] <DanaG> That's one way to get external IP, if your router supports it.
[07:10] <Abst> I am user #7555
[07:10] <brendonjt> Madpilot:ok  thanks for enlightening me on that  one i always thought it was like the desktop shortcut files and the likes
[07:10] <rocco> FirstLite: yeah, see if i try to connect with my browser, i don't see my website, but the router's configuration webpage! i'm trying to get out of this mess
[07:10] <tjb> One more question:  Should I install Ubuntu and then decide I don't want it hanging around anymore, is it possible to clear the Ubuntu partition without reinstalling Windows?
[07:10] <Abst> !counter > me
[07:10] <tabman> brendonjt: I need to remove all of Ubuntu openoffice SDK as well and installt the openoffice & SDK provided by openoffice.org
[07:10] <tjb> s/Should/If
[07:11] <FirstLite> rocco: Which IP are you connecting to?  The 87... one?
[07:11] <kandala> Hi all, I installed Ubuntu on my laptop a month back. From the past couple of days, I am having some problem with my Firefox browser. Whenever I start my browser, the system's slows down and when I examine the top, I would see Firefox consuming lot of memory. Any help on this would be appreciated
[07:11] <tehsu_> where is firmware_class in the kernel?
[07:11] <brendonjt> tabman:  yip  that's cool,  can i ask  why you want to remove OoO
[07:11] <rocco> FirstLite: that's right.
[07:12] <FirstLite> rocco: Hmm . . . not exactly sure why that is happening.  What kind of router is this?
[07:12] <madman__> if i use graphical root login will that give file permmsion from the get with having to use sudo and passwd ?
[07:12] <jack> dudu
[07:12] <madman__> not*
[07:12] <Madpilot> madman__, it would, but that's a seriously bad idea...

[07:13] <tjb> Is FAT-partition resizing less risky than NTFS-partition resizing?
[07:13] <FirstLite> rocco: Did you already try putting your IP address "in the DMZ" in the router's configuration, or "forwarding" port 80 to your IP?
[07:13] <madman__> Madpilot: for who ? me ??
[07:13] <tabman> brendonjt: man the ubuntu OOo package is giving problems see: when I run the following macro: http://tabishfayyaz.googlepages.com/HelloWorldMacro.png I get the following exception: http://tabishfayyaz.googlepages.com/MacroException.png , the guy on openoffice.org advised me to get rid of ubuntu package & do a vanilla install from openoffice.org
[07:13] <Madpilot> madman__, for your system, yes. graphical root login is not needed or useful.
[07:13] <madman__> or the machine ?
[07:14] <rocco> FirtsLite: i did the last thing you mentioned. don't have a clue as to what DMZ is though :P
[07:14] <xhaan> i think i found your site rocco
[07:14] <erpo> When I do a gpg --sign-key KEYID, it doesn't ask me how carefully I've checked the identity of the key owner (0-3). What's up with that?
[07:14] <rocco> xhaan: c'mon, really? too good to be true!
[07:14] <xhaan> you need to change your server root though
[07:14] <xhaan> yeah
[07:14] <brendonjt> tabman:  hmm ok just i haven't had any problems with OoO, mind you i don't use macros though
[07:14] <FirstLite> rocco: DMZ means that all ports, not just #80, are forwarded to your IP.  It's sometimes easier to set up.
[07:14] <rocco> what do you see xhaan?
[07:14] <|thunder> how do I tile windows vertically in gnome ?
[07:15] <xhaan> hang on
[07:15] <kandala> why is my firefox eating up so much memory?
[07:15] <tjb> Is it possible to back up my entire Windows partition (and perhaps restore it later)?
[07:15] <tabman> brendonjt: but shouldn't the ubuntu developers be informed of this macro bug or whatever it is ? it works fine on my Windows installation
[07:15] <rocco> FirstLite: that sounds cool. i'll go have a lokk and see if i can get it working then
[07:15] <Redrose> What's up y'all?
[07:15] <brendonjt> tabman: yip  file a bug report
[07:15] <xhaan> it shows some directories, then if i click on desktoplinux the website opens
[07:16] <FirstLite> rocco: I think I see your site too.  Maybe it already works.
[07:16] <rocco> xhaan, yeah!
[07:16] <rocco> how are you guys doing it?
[07:16] <xhaan> so you need to make that desktoplinux directory your server root
[07:16] <tabman> brendonjt: where ?
[07:16] <xhaan> err desklinux rather
[07:16] <rocco> xhaan, i can do that with virtual hosts
[07:16] <Madpilot> tabman, bugs to to bugs.ubuntu.com - you'll need to create a username/pw
[07:16] <xhaan> i just typed in your ip address
[07:17] <DanaG> hmm, for Firefox:
[07:17] <Redrose> How do i compile the kernel? anyone, i would like an actual person to help, not the site, it's too confusing
[07:17] <xhaan> http://87.2.230.118/desklinux/
[07:17] <DanaG> http://www.mepis.org/node/5420
[07:17] <rocco> my real problem was getting the router to work
[07:17] <DanaG> What router?
[07:17] <xhaan> well it works now apparently :0
[07:17] <Redrose> i type make deb-pkg after the make menuconfig and then what?
[07:18] <rocco> xhaan, i still see the router's page! how are you managing this stunt???
[07:18] <FirstLite> rocco: Your router must not be doing the port forwarding when the request originates from "inside".  Or something.  I'm not sure if this is normal or not.
[07:18] <xhaan> hmm thats odd, :p
[07:19] <Redrose> Can anyone help me with compiling the kernel?
[07:19] <Wiseguy> hey guys, what package do i need so that i can compile source files? isnt there something that installs gcc and a bunch of libs necessary for compiling source?
[07:19] <xhaan> FirstLite, mine does the same but only when i use its lanside ip
[07:19] <Redrose> Wiseguy, build-essentials
[07:19] <rocco> ok. one last question. what happens when you guys try to connect to the URL: freeculture.globedns.info?
[07:20] <AustLaw> trying to open a file from firefox, I want to point to amaroK, where can I find it?
[07:20] <FirstLite> xhaan: Yeah, that's what mine does too.  I expected that using the WAN IP would work OK.
[07:20] <rocco> http://freeculture.globedns.info
[07:20] <mckinnoj> Quick question. Does Ubuntu have a firewall already loaded by default?
[07:20] <rocco> does the URL work too?
[07:20] <phatsteezy> hello all. I installed sendmail and it's giving me errors on boot, and GDM won't load!
[07:20] <xhaan> rocco, the url doesnt work
[07:21] <rocco> damn! i don't get it
[07:21] <xhaan> has your ip address changed?
[07:21] <JoseStefan> rocco, is that a dynamic host service?
[07:21] <rocco> yeah it is
[07:21] <FirstLite> rocco: The DNS name resolves to 87.2.231.60.  It looks like a dynamic DNS problem.
[07:21] <JoseStefan> rocco, is it possible the service has not refreshed to target your new ip?
[07:22] <rocco> well i've been refreshing it
[07:22] <rocco> should be uptodate
[07:23] <JoseStefan> rocco, grc.com has a port scanner you could use to check what ports are accessible to the net
[07:23] <tabman> Madpilot: do you think they'll be able to solve the issue in a day or two, as in they are quick to replying or its gonna take some time ?
[07:23] <Wiseguy> where do i find build-essentials?
[07:23] <rocco> JoseStefan: i'll check that right now. thanks
[07:23] <JoseStefan> rocco, look for "Shields Up"
[07:23] <AustLaw> how can I simply point to an application to open a file? :/
[07:23] <mckinnoj> Quick question. Does Ubuntu have a firewall already loaded by default?
[07:24] <MagicFab> how many languages does ubuntu / gnu/linux support
[07:24] <MagicFab> ?
[07:24] <Lynoure> Wiseguy: usually   sudo apt-get install build-essentials    finds it fon you
[07:24] <rocco> i just did a nslookup on the URL and it is definitely right. would you mind clickking on it one last time to be sure?
[07:24] <Lynoure> s/fon/for
[07:25] <xhaan> it works now
[07:25] <xhaan> maybe it just now updated
[07:25] <JoseStefan> rocco, Italian?
[07:26] <Wiseguy> E: Couldn't find package build-essentials
[07:26] <MagicFab> I see about 114 languages in the language tool in the System menu.
[07:26] <AustLaw> come on simple question, newb needs help. I want to directly open a file that I am downloading with firefox. I need to browse to amaroK. I dont even know where linux keeps applications.
[07:26] <rocco> JoseStefan: yes, italian
[07:26] <JoseStefan> rocco, Site under construction, please have a little patience
[07:26] <rocco> JoseStefan: right!
[07:26] <JoseStefan> rocco, i dont know italian, just spanish
[07:26] <rocco> JoseStefan: with the URL?
[07:26] <JoseStefan> rocco, yes
[07:26] <MagicFab> AustLaw, right click on the file, select Properties | Open with
[07:26] <Ademan> mckinnoj: no it doesnt, but because of the way it is set up, in its default configuration it doesn't need a firewall at all, in fact, its much more secure than windows in its default state
[07:27] <rocco> JoseStefan: great!
[07:27] <Tonren> Hey guys, how do I add pure-ftpd to the list of daemons that start on bootup?
[07:27] <AustLaw> really I want to know where to point to in the future
[07:27] <MagicFab> AustLaw, also check FF's prefs
[07:27] <AustLaw> is there a 'file
[07:27] <rocco> guys, i really don't know how to thank you all. you really helped me a lot. :)
[07:27] <AustLaw> or is it just a command thing?
[07:28] <Andy-> how do I uninstall ubuntu?
[07:28] <mckinnoj> Ok. I asked about the firewall because I think something is blocking my bittorrent ports.  Would the operating system be responsible for that, and if so, how do I open them up?
[07:28] <JoseStefan> rocco, have any MotoGP racers in the family?
[07:28] <FirstLite> Wiseguy: try 'build-essential' (no 's')
[07:29] <erpo> mckinnoj: Not as far as I know. However, if you're using a router, that's probably the problem. Failing that, your ISP might be silently terminating bittorrent connections. Mine does. And don't bother asking tech support because the ISP doesn't inform their techs of this policy.
[07:29] <infidel> !java
[07:29] <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
[07:29] <rocco> JoseStefan: you mean like Valentino? hehehe, nooooo, i wish i did or better i wish i could ride like that :)
[07:29] <brendonjt> in  ubuntu how  can  i check to  see if my hdd  is  using  dma33
[07:29] <Andy-> how do I uninstall ubuntu?
[07:29] <Madpilot> tabman, sorry, was away from keyboard for a while - how long bugs take to fix really depends
[07:30] <mckinnoj> erpo: actually, since I'm on a college network I assumed it was beyond my control, but I figured I'd give it a shot
[07:30] <erpo> brendonjt: sudo hdparm -d /dev/whatever
[07:30] <deny> need to automount an xfs filesystem,help
[07:30] <erpo> mckinnoj: If it's your college network, you probably need to enable encryption in your bittorrent client. However, this could get you in trouble.
[07:31] <kingjere> Andy- :are you dual booting?
[07:31] <brendonjt> erpo:  it  just  tells me that  it's  using dma not  what  speed it is  doing
[07:31] <Andy-> kingjere: i gave the grub boot which has ubuntu and windows xp. I just wana install ubuntu and not corrupt my boot
[07:31] <Andy-> kingjere: do I just delete the partition?
[07:31] <AustLaw> !mp3

[07:32] <tabman> Madpilot: no problem
[07:32] <kingjere> I ask because alot of times its easyer to replace linux than uninstall
[07:32] <mckinnoj> erpo: hmmm, something to mull over
[07:32] <mckinnoj> erpo: my ports (6881-6889) would most likely remain blocked though, right?
[07:33] <rocco> JoseStefan: i activated dmz. that should help even more. by the way, did you see my website at http://freeculture.globedns.info/, without appending desklinux?
[07:33] <JoseStefan> Andy-, you'll need the windows recovery console to fix the MBR, once you can boot into window straight, then delete the partition
[07:33] <erpo> mckinnoj: You can run bittorrent on any port, so that doesn't matter. Some networks block bittorrent by examining the actual content of the packets you send.
[07:33] <JoseStefan> rocco, yes
[07:33] <mckinnoj> erpo: ok, thanks for your help
[07:33] <Skuz`> mckinnoj in which case you use lazy-bitfield
[07:34] <rocco> well, that certainly does it then :)
[07:34] <erpo> mckinnoj: go to grc.com and get them to do a port scan. That'll tell you for sure.
[07:34] <Skuz`> and then it doesnt matter
[07:34] <Andy-> JoseStefan: does this also delete the grub boot?
[07:34] <rocco> i can finally get some sleep before my job interview in the afternoon. thanks again so much. ciaoooo
[07:34] <JoseStefan> Andy-, fixing the mbr using the windows recovery console should take care of grub
[07:35] <brendonjt> andy: yip

[07:37] <lmosher> I can't seem to win with totem. If I install totem-gstreamer I get no sound on .wmv files. If I install totem-xine I get sound on .wmv files, but nothing but black for most .mpgs. Any idea?
[07:38] <Ademan> lmosher: don't use totem :-)   but actually, if you follow the directions on the wiki page (i'll dig it up just a second) to the letter, it shoudl work just fine

[07:39] <lmosher> Ademan, I believe I did - I guess I'll try again then come back
[07:39] <Ademan> lmosher: yeah, that ubotu link should do it, the first one
[07:39] <Ademan> lmosher: hrm, well, then i don't know what to tell you, worked fine for me, i know i left just one package out once, and it didnt work
[07:40] <Ademan> lmosher: mplayer is nice though, i reccomend that over totem ... i think... i'm not sure at this point, i used to use totem but mplayer is growing on me
[07:40] <lmosher> could be something like that.. I'll try again if it doesn't install anything I'll know I did it correctly
[07:40] <DanaG|Away> Hey bittorrent people, what ports are you using?
[07:40] <DanaG|Away> Google for GRC ShieldsUp.
[07:41] <DanaG|Away> Azureus supports encryption, and uTorrent does too -- but you'd have to Wine it.
[07:41] <DanaG|Away> oops, I'm late
[07:41] <DanaG|Away> Oh, and I use an oddball port -- 55555
[07:42] <AustLaw> how do I change the site of the navigation icons in the gnome windows?
[07:42] <AustLaw> the main toolbar?
[07:42] <AustLaw> **the size
[07:43] <AustLaw> the back, forward, up buttons
[07:43] <looktj> where is the grub menu.list located?
[07:43] <infidel> is ubuntu going to support more amd64 packages in the future?
[07:45] <xhaan> looktj, should be in /boot/grub
[07:45] <CharonX> Is it normal for a nfs to take a long time to mount ?
[07:46] <_azrael> CharonX: Install nfs-common.
[07:46] <looktj> xhaan: nope
[07:46] <_azrael> CharonX: mount still tries to mount nfs shares without it, but if it's not installed it goes hella slow.
[07:46] <CharonX> _azrael, Ill give it a shot
[07:46] <CharonX> _azrael, Ah, thanks
[07:46] <detectiveinspekt> how do I add a partition so I can acess it for more space?
[07:47] <|thunder> detectiveinspekt, install gparted
[07:47] <super> Hi all, I'm new to linux and need some help.
[07:48] <AustLaw> can you remove the text on the main toolbar? the back, forward, up buttons, the huge buttons are driving me crazy
[07:48] <detectiveinspekt> ok thanks will do that now
[07:48] <brendonjt> super:  wots up  just ask your question
[07:49] <super> I'm having trouble installing mozactivex
[07:49] <CharonX> _azrael, Thanks a bunch. Now it mounts instantly.
[07:49] <brendonjt> super:  ok  never heard to that app  what is it?
[07:49] <super> active x for mozilla foxfire
[07:49] <kvidell> I would presume it allows active x to run in firefox by the name ;P
[07:50] <xhaan> looktj, its menu.lst by the way, if thats what youre looking for :0
[07:51] <Kream> hi all. i'm using openoffice on ubuntu. openoffice starts with hindi localised menu entries. unfortunately, the hindi menus are garbled and unreadable. how do i switch openoffice localised interfaces ?
[07:53] <MM2> Interesting: i'm installing server-expert and adding new user and password. It only asks password, not username?
[07:54] <kingrayray> hey, is there a program i can use to download one file from multiple sources?
[07:54] <detectiveinspekt> I mounted the hdd using the diskmanager but still don't have acess to it as a normal user
[07:54] <fyrestrtr> Kream: try installing one of the openoffice.org-l10n-xx packages, where xx is a language or country code. For example, the us english one is openoffice.org-l10n-en-us
[07:54] <maple> or use MS office
[07:55] <fyrestrtr> kingrayray: torrent?
[07:55] <kingrayray> fyrestrtr: lol, i mean via http
[07:55] <sethk> MM2, dapper uses the user name "oem", which I think is a bit bizarre, but you can always change it
[07:55] <DanaG|Away> That's the OEM install.
[07:55] <DanaG|Away> There's also "text-mode install"
[07:56] <fyrestrtr> and 'server'
[07:56] <fyrestrtr> and 'lamp'
[07:56] <sethk> I don't like the concept, but as I said, it can be changed so I won't invest any emotion in it  :)
[07:56] <brendonjt> DanaG: that's true you have to run a command  once itis installed then it asks you for a user name
[07:57] <Madpilot> sethk, server install uses oem? I thought that was only for the actual oem install...?
[07:57] <sethk> Madpilot, I might be wrong.  that's what I thought but I seem to be outvoted so maybe my memory is swiss cheese
[07:58] <_azrael> kingrayray: I don't know of an individual program, but you could portion it off, issue "continuation" requests starting from various points in the file, and dd it back together were it big enough.
[07:58] <kingrayray> eh that kind've defeats my intention, i was thinking more seperate connections >> more speed :P
[07:58] <kingrayray> trying to download a 1.7gb file, and the torrent for it is slow
[07:58] <_azrael> Ah.
[07:59] <kingrayray> its all good i'm just going to restart the torrent and hit the hay =)
[07:59] <sethk> kingrayray, if it is over http, there isn't any way to request less than a page
[07:59] <AustLaw_> where are applications located?
[07:59] <AustLaw_> for example, program is asking me to point to my favorite browser, so where is firefox located?
[07:59] <_azrael> sethk: Not true. Haven't you ever done a wget -c after losing your net connection?
[07:59] <sethk> AustLaw, /usr/bin, /bin, /sbin, /usr/sbin, other places
[08:00] <sethk> _azrael, that's different, you are continuing an interrupted transfer, not asking for a unit that the server isn't aware of
[08:00] <richiefrich> AustLaw also /usr/local
[08:00] <AustLaw_> do you know where firefox is?
[08:00] <DanaG|Away> Someone needs to make an entry in the wiki or FAQ:
[08:00] <_azrael> AustLaw_: which firefox <-a command to run.
[08:00] <richiefrich> AustLaw local firefox
[08:00] <sethk> AustLaw, I know where mine is.  you can find your's at the command line:    which firefox
[08:00] <brendonjt> austlaw:  why  don't you set your perferred browsers  to ff,  and it should work  just a thought  may be wrong
[08:00] <richiefrich> AustLaw whereis  firefox
[08:00] <JoseStefan> !fhs > AustLaw_
[08:00] <DanaG|Away> My DHCP client didn't work until I added the "send host-name" to /etc/network/dhclient.conf
[08:00] <nuxord> hello
[08:01] <maple> WTF, openoffice runs on java?
[08:01] <_azrael> sethk: I can have switched IPs and still issue continuations. Which means that a continuation http request just starts further on. The idea would be to do that, and then just terminate the connection partway through.
[08:01] <nuxord> i want to watch some videos on youtube, but i need a flash plugin for FF..how can i get it, i have been searching but nothing has come up :( ?
[08:01] <brendonjt> maple:  some  functions require java
[08:01] <Madpilot> AustLaw, most Linux apps, you can just put the name of the app in, it'll work - try just putting "firefox", no path & no quotes, in
[08:01] <richiefrich> maple yes
[08:01] <brendonjt> maple:  that's why there are 2 versions to download with and without java
[08:01] <sethk> _azrael, without having downloaded the data already, you have no way to tell it how much of it you received, so I don't see that as a viable strategy
[08:02] <ius> hi guys
[08:02] <pseydtonne> dang... back pain.
[08:02] <brendonjt> ius:  hi there
[08:02] <ius> need help here
[08:02] <richiefrich> problem
[08:02] <AustLaw> well for eample, if you directly open a file from firefox, if you want to choose the app
[08:02] <_azrael> sethk: You predesignate that source 1 will give me the first 10 megs, source 2 the second 10 megs, or similar. Then issue a regular request to source 1, terminate it after 10 megs, and at the same time issue a continuation request at +10 megs to source2
[08:02] <ius> can u give me links about setting up samba in advance mode
[08:02] <_azrael> sethk: then concatenate the results.
[08:02] <ius> ?
[08:02] <AustLaw> it asks for its location, does not give you an option to just run the cmd
[08:03] <richiefrich> !samba
[08:03] <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
[08:03] <richiefrich> ^^
[08:03] <sethk> _azrael, I understand the concept, I just don't think the protocol works that way, but I'll look again.
[08:03] <ius> ok
[08:03] <Justin_> Good news people :) - Flash 9 will be availible for Linux soon
[08:03] <_azrael> sethk: Whatever, this is kinda offtopic anyway.
[08:03] <pseydtonne> ir just go to www.samba.org
[08:03] <Kream> Justin_: says who?
[08:03] <_azrael> Justin_: Where's that news from?
[08:03] <ius> how about ejabberd set up ?
[08:03] <pseydtonne> woot! Nine!
[08:03] <|thunder> Justin_, ya,  i saw that on digg earlier
[08:03] <Justin_> http://weblogs.macromedia.com/emmy/archives/2006/05/yes_virginia_th.cfm
[08:03] <richiefrich> Justin_ yes in 2007
[08:03] <looktj> now i can't find my grub/menu.list
[08:03] <nuxord> how can i play vids in youtube..how can i get the pluggin!? :(
[08:03] <Justin_> Macromedia, developer for adobe/flash
[08:03] <DanaG|Away> OOh, one cool thing to do:
[08:03] <DanaG|Away> Back up root's .bashrc and copy your own over it.
[08:04] <Justin_> They finally heard out voices :))
[08:04] <DanaG|Away> That gives you plenty of tab completion.
[08:04] <xhaan> looktj, its menu.lst
[08:04] <xhaan> just in case thats why you cant find it
[08:04] <looktj> where?
[08:04] <nuxord> when with flash 9 be out..any date up? i really mis youtube :( ?
 is tab:   apt-g<> in<> xser<>xo<>-dr<>all
[08:04] <DanaG|Away> (apt-get install xserver-xorg-driver-all)
[08:04] <richiefrich> Justin_  may i ask how is 2007 soon ?
[08:04] <DanaG|Away> With tabs.
[08:04] <sethk> looktj, /boot/grub/menu.lst
[08:05] <Justin_> richiefrich, That is only l4 months away
[08:05] <Justin_> 4* even that is pretty soon in terms of corporate software
[08:05] <richiefrich> they never said when in 2007
[08:05] <richiefrich> early
[08:05] <richiefrich> means what
[08:06] <looktj> do i gotta boot into the livecd?
[08:06] <richiefrich> to me it means when they get to it
[08:06] <Justin_> Meh, I bet you it will be before 2007 - macromedia and Adobe are pretty quick
[08:06] <pseydtonne> early usually means end of Q1
[08:06] <pseydtonne> so... March
[08:06] <xhaan> looktj,  are you on linux right now?
[08:06] <jazzrocker> !network install
[08:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about network install - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:06] <richiefrich> Justin_ when has Adobe been quick ?
[08:06] <DanaG|Away> !netinstall
[08:06] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[08:06] <jazzrocker> how can i install ubuntu on a computer with no monitor
[08:06] <richiefrich> Justin_  they totally skipped us on the last version
[08:06] <jazzrocker> e.g. via network cable
[08:07] <looktj> im been trying to setup dual boot with sethk's help
[08:07] <auto> hi
[08:07] <auto> who can help me?
[08:07] <Justin_> richiefrich, Yep that they did - but the Gnash project is bad anyways...
[08:07] <brendonjt> auto: depends on what the question is
[08:07] <DanaG|Away> (to Flash:)  "And while you're at it, stop eating my CPU!"
[08:07] <JoseStefan> jazzrocker, connecting a monitor to it
[08:07] <CharonX> Is there a way to increase sound quality ? I just got mp3's working and they sound terrible. Good when the music is not very complicated but it seems to have "static" with lots of instruments/voice going on. ???
[08:07] <richiefrich> Justin_ i am just wondering how u can say there quick
[08:08] <jazzrocker> JoseStefan, without doing that
[08:08] <richiefrich> Justin_ they screwed use!
[08:08] <jazzrocker> JoseStefan, i'm almost certain there's a way to do a network boot
[08:08] <auto> i try to connect in my home (kubuntu) with ssh but i cant
[08:08] <JoseStefan> jazzrocker, install on another PC, swap the drive
[08:08] <Justin_> richiefrich, Well for windows stuff anyways they are pretty quick
[08:08] <brendonjt> joseAtefan:  i was going to suggest that
[08:08] <jazzrocker> JoseStefan, hmmm, interesting idea
[08:08] <richiefrich> Justin_ i havent run windows since 93
[08:08] <Justin_> :))
[08:08] <richiefrich> so that means nothing to me
[08:08] <pseydtonne> auto: Did you configure your router as well as /etc/ssh/sshd_config?
[08:08] <jazzrocker> JoseStefan, how bout an actual solution to the question i asked ?
[08:09] <Justin_> I do daily simply for audio since Linux is still stuck in 96' when it comes to home recording etc
[08:09] <jazzrocker> JoseStefan, e.g. installing on another drive still requires me to take down my machine for a little while
[08:09] <pseydtonne> Justin_: seriously
[08:10] <Justin_> If there is one place Linux needs improvement - it is in Audio, however I am looking forward to the Mubuntu project
[08:10] <JoseStefan> jazzrocker, installing ubuntu requires rebooting, and following a GUI, you cant do that remotly. You can however upgrade ubuntu remotly, but surely not install it
[08:10] <auto> i have change port in sshd_config in 20002 but still i cant
[08:10] <auto> i use no-ip
[08:10] <ihatelinux> guys .. need help here
[08:10] <Justin_> ihatelinux, what?
[08:10] <pseydtonne> auto: What is the error you receive when you attempt to connect?
[08:10] <Remy> ihatelinux - running windows?
[08:10] <Remy> :-P

[08:12] <richiefrich> brendonjt it kinda like F... u
[08:12] <JoseStefan> jazzrocker, what is the computer running now?
[08:12] <CharonX> Strange, sound was terrible. BUt if you max PCM and Master and drop xmms volume to almost nothing it sounds great......
[08:12] <jazzrocker> JoseStefan, i'm honestly not sure :P
[08:12] <auto> in my work
[08:12] <brendonjt> richiefrich:  totally,  and he/she expects to get help with a nick like that
[08:12] <jazzrocker> JoseStefan, i think it's a dual boot between Arch Linux and XP Pro
[08:12] <auto> from work dont take any message
[08:12] <richiefrich> brendonjt not from me :P
[08:13] <brendonjt> richiefrich:  me either
[08:13] <AustLaw> how do you execute commands on connect in xchat?
[08:13] <pseydtonne> auto: okay, do you get the same error if you use your IP address into of your domain name?
[08:13] <richiefrich> lol
[08:13] <ihatelinux> i couldn't find portsentry in the repository, where is it guys ?
[08:13] <auto> yes
[08:13] <JoseStefan> !portsentry
[08:13] <ubotu> portsentry: Portscan detection daemon. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2-9 (dapper), package size 64 kB, installed size 276 kB
[08:13] <brendonjt> austlaw: go xchat->server list->edit
[08:13] <bjron> I'm looking for an easy way to run a command periodically (say, every 50 sec) for the next hour.  suggustions?
[08:13] <duane> has anyone here tried PCLinuxOS?
[08:13] <auto> a! the inetd.conf file is empty. is this right?
[08:13] <Madpilot> ihatelinux, it's in Universe repo
[08:14] <pseydtonne> okay. Did you configure your home router to forward any calls to port 20002 to the ssh server's IP address?
[08:14] <Justin_> ihatelinux, -> system -> software properties - add all repos
[08:14] <ihatelinux> ok ,, maybe my source.list need update
[08:14] <sethk> ihatelinux, found it in, of all places, package portsentry
[08:14] <auto> yes my speedtouch modem/router forwarding the pc in this ports?
[08:14] <AustLaw> brendonjt: you mean preferances? in xchat server list?
[08:15] <auto> yes my speedtouch modem/router forwarding the pc in this ports
[08:15] <auto> yes my speedtouch modem/router forwarding the pc in this ports as udp and tcp
[08:15] <pseydtonne> auto: good.
[08:15] <Abst> Wait
[08:15] <Abst> Your trying to get a speedtouch modem to work with Ubuntu?
[08:15] <pseydtonne> Do you get the same problem if you sit on some network other than work (say, a coffee shop)?
[08:16] <brendonjt> austlaw: nope as in there it has boxes  to set commands to run etc etc  make sure you click on ther server though ie irc.freenode.org
[08:16] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell ihatelinux about universe
[08:16] <Abst> !universe > Abst
[08:16] <Abst> !easysource > Abst
[08:16] <fyrestrtr> !msgthebot > Abst
[08:17] <AustLaw> where is in there? I dont see a server option place, or do you mean open the config file?
[08:17] <fyrestrtr> bjron: use cron for that.
[08:17] <Madpilot> AustLaw, you running real XChat, or XChat-Gnome?
[08:17] <AustLaw> oh...xchat-gnome
[08:18] <AustLaw> didnt know there was a 'real' one
[08:18] <brendonjt> austlaw: opps  sorry there mate i just use xchat
[08:18] <Madpilot> AustLaw, no idea, then - real XChat is far more flexible than XChat-Godawful
[08:18] <AustLaw> i shall download it then
[08:19] <ihatelinux> ok .. done with portsentry. I wonder if u guys have some tutorials 'bout setting up MailScanner with Ubuntu (postfix)
[08:19] <maina> hello pple
[08:19] <Kream> i'm using the hi_IN locale. when my openoffice starts up it looks like this: http://191a.net/garbled-oo.png . can someone tell me what the problem might be ?
[08:20] <bjron> fyrestrtr, thinking more along the lines of a simple bash script, so it will just quit after the desired time and I won't have to remove from my cron tab
[08:20] <Abst> Can I install flash for firefox?
[08:20] <brendonjt> austlaw:  and also real xchat  is far more stable  than xchat=gnome
[08:20] <upgrdman> anyone know of a gui app for checking the SMART status of hdd's, and perhaps do a few other checks? gui being key
[08:20] <Madpilot> Abst, yes
[08:20] <richiefrich> and one know anything about upstart  besides what i read on the site about?
[08:20] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell Abst about flash
[08:20] <Abst> madpilot: How?

[08:21] <maina> i have a problem with ma mail server, am receiving an error in evolution 'fetching error, message cannot be appended into mbox, file too large'
[08:22] <Sakireth> Hi, guys. After i've filled my PC again and ran a few apps, it has indeed become slow.
[08:22] <Sakireth> this always happen to me on Ubuntu. why is this?
[08:22] <Sakireth> 512 RAM, btw.
[08:22] <ihatelinux> Sakireth .. try do the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, helps with me
[08:23] <Sakireth> ihatelinux: i already did.
[08:23] <_lupine> maina: try using maildir instead
[08:23] <_lupine> sounds like the file is getting too long
[08:23] <pseydtonne> whoops! Gotta go...
[08:23] <Sakireth> ihatelinux: i think it's cuz of the amount of apps i run. Gaim - rhytmbox - firefox - frostwire - nautilus - cream...
[08:23] <Sakireth> ihatelinux: all together, on 512 RAM. is that the reason?
[08:23] <maina> pliz guys can anyone help me
[08:24] <ihatelinux> i'm not sure
[08:24] <maina> i have a problem with ma mail server, am receiving an error in evolution 'fetching error, message cannot be appended into mbox, file too large'
[08:24] <Sakireth> wow.. CPU usage goes up to 60^
[08:24] <Sakireth> 60%*
[08:24] <ihatelinux> what ps aux says ?
[08:24] <AustLaw> brendonjt, this is indeed far better. I was wondering how people could stand to use that xchat, didnt know there was a far better version of it lol
[08:25] <brendonjt> austlaw:  i know, it is so much better if u a term person bitchx  is good  but i like my x

[08:26] <Sakireth> erm
[08:26] <Sakireth> ihatelinux: http://rafb.net/paste/results/wB5qnJ12.html *
[08:26] <AustLaw> brendonjt: I tried bitchx but since im coming from windows im not a terminal person yet

[08:28] <brendonjt> austlaw:  tru  are you still running that other os wots it called oh yeah windows lol
[08:28] <ihatelinux> Sakireth : nothing strange
[08:28] <mutk> Awesome-o2000, netstat -tun   will show the tcp and udp connections..
[08:29] <Sakireth> ihatelinux: hmm
[08:29] <ihatelinux> what package u installed lately ?
[08:29] <AustLaw> brendonjt: ya heh, this system is dual boot right now (still need windows for the games)
[08:30] <whazilla> hey
[08:30] <whazilla> i installed fresh ubuntu dapper
[08:31] <brendonjt> austlaw:  alot of games are being ported to linux so it is coming along quickly
[08:31] <whazilla> but it didn't ask a username ? is it standard or something ?
[08:32] <Madpilot> whazilla, did you install from the LiveCD?
[08:32] <whazilla> is it normal dapper only asks for password ? not username .... during install ?
[08:32] <whazilla> livedvd yes
[08:33] <ihatelinux> where u got that DVD ?:-D
[08:33] <whazilla> torrent
[08:33] <whazilla> from officail site
[08:33] <Madpilot> whazilla, you didn't do an OEM install by accident, did you? Normal install should ask for username & password during installation...
[08:33] <Sakireth> ihatelinux: how to get it normal then?
[08:34] <whazilla> oem
[08:34] <whazilla> yes
[08:34] <Sakireth> Madpilot: what does OEM do?
[08:34] <ihatelinux> i've installed maybe 20 times ubuntu, always asking name and password
[08:34] <JoseStefan> user is probably "oem" too
[08:34] <Madpilot> Sakireth, it's for ppl who want to sell machines w/ Ubuntu, all set up except for final username
[08:34] <whazilla> how i make another user with oem priviliges and delete oem ?
[08:35] <whazilla> thkx for the hint :D
[08:35] <Sakireth> Madpilot: and how do you add the username then?
[08:35] <Madpilot> Sakireth, mostly, it's for confusing people...
[08:35] <Flannel> whazilla: you should have had a wizard run once you first logged in to do that
[08:35] <ihatelinux> hohoho ..
[08:35] <JoseStefan> you could probably just rename the user
[08:35] <Flannel> Sakireth: on your first boot, you are presented with a wizard that removes the OEM user and adds your own
[08:36] <whazilla> kk
[08:36] <whazilla> next q
[08:36] <Sakireth> Flannel: ah
[08:36] <ihatelinux> i didn't know that
[08:36] <whazilla> how i set my laptop in deep deep sleep (like 0ff but instant on ?)
[08:36] <whazilla> like i did on xp
[08:36] <whazilla> it's off
[08:36] <whazilla> but in sleep
[08:37] <whazilla> wuz when i choose hibernate it stays on
[08:37] <whazilla> that's, no sleepmode
[08:38] <whazilla> crap
[08:38] <whazilla> Flannel ther was no whizard
[08:38] <brendonjt> wots  crap
[08:39] <whazilla> and the sleepmode suxx on ubuntu ...
[08:39] <whazilla> how i alter this reality ?
[08:39] <brendonjt> u have to type in a command can't remember what it is
[08:39] <whazilla> ^^
[08:39] <ompaul> !enter

[08:39] <mkquist_> anyone good w/network card probs?
[08:39] <ompaul> !wireless > mkquist_
[08:40] <Flannel> whazilla: you'll need to run the command, I've forgotten what it is, open a terminal, type "oem" and hit tab twice

[08:43] <Flannel> mkquist_: You hit enter, but only after typing complete thoughts, as opposed to some people who do it every third word, etc
[08:43] <mkquist_> so it wasnt aimed at me?
[08:43] <ompaul> mkquist_, that is correct
[08:43] <Flannel> mkquist_: no, the wireless one was
[08:43] <mkquist_> thankyou...
[08:43] <mkquist_> Flannel-its a wired network
[08:44] <Flannel> mkquist_: I didn't do it, ompaul did.  heh.
[08:44] <PhibreOptix> Hey, does anybody know of an mp3 player that has a library function similar to windows media player? I've only just switched and I can't handle only having playlists >.<
[08:45] <mkquist_> back to my prob, and ive googled the hell out of it...  Ive lost my network connection on one of my machines, was working fine now not
[08:45] <ompaul> mkquist_,  w is usually percieved as wireless, however for wired you should click on System Administration Networking and choose the device and activate it with either dhcp or static (the former is more usual)
[08:45] <gansinho> mkquist_: hello again!
[08:46] <PhibreOptix> Hi
[08:46] <ompaul> mkquist_,  if that ceases it is possible that the network card has given up the ghost

[09:21] <NoobZaibot> Hello, i have a question
[09:21] <brendonjt> fire away
[09:21] <NoobZaibot> How do i setup Ubuntu as my network boot server ?
[09:22] <mkquist_> anyone have any idea towards no network connection? used to work, but quit like 2 days ago.
[09:22] <russellb> NoobZaibot: tftp
[09:22] <brendonjt> mkquist:  what settings have you changed apps installed?
[09:22] <redhand> 04:21AM... I needed sleep... not more... ubuntu is more interessant
[09:22] <Blacklight> lol
[09:22] <russellb> Anyone recommend a development environment for php, html, css, JavaScript with FTP built in?
[09:23] <NoobZaibot> russellb : Do u have any links with a howto ?
[09:23] <eternalswd> russellb, if it's just for development, you probably want xampp.  just google it.
[09:23] <hamdan> when i open update manger i see error message : " Software index is broken "
[09:23] <russellb> No, I have only used it
[09:23] <mkquist_> brendonjt - im not understanding the question
[09:24] <russellb> eternalswd: thanks man
[09:24] <gansinho> YEAHHHH , IT'S WORKING!!!
[09:24] <redhand> gallag, YEAAHHh! ;)
[09:24] <redhand> great!
[09:24] <Nrvs> sup fellas
[09:24] <mkquist_> brendonjt - ic havent, just quit coupla days ago
[09:24] <redhand> ops... gansinho \o/
[09:24] <gansinho> mkquist_: !!!
[09:24] <FRET> what entry should be in my resolve.conf if I want to use DHCP?
[09:24] <russellb> Nrvs: what if there are ladies in here?
[09:24] <gansinho> redhand: you knew it first hand...
[09:24] <mkquist_> gansinho - good for u
[09:24] <gansinho> thanks!
[09:24] <Nrvs> sup crew :)
[09:25] <gansinho> sup.
[09:25] <gansinho> other guy helped me too
[09:25] <Nrvs> same old. cant sleep
[09:25] <gansinho> can't remember the name... thanks by the way...
[09:25] <brendonjt> mkquist:  they could have made some sudden changes,  but that is unlikely  in linux though
[09:25] <eternalswd> mkquist_, are you sure it's not a problem apart from Ubuntu?  If you didn't change any settings or install anything, I'd suspect some sort of hardware problem
[09:26] <brendonjt> hamdan: umm  there is a repair thing for that just can't think of that at the moment
[09:26] <maki> hello
[09:26] <mkquist_> eternalswd - dual boot xp2, works there no probs... =/
[09:26] <brendonjt> hi maki
[09:26] <russellb> eternalswd: xampp is apache and php etc. I need the development enviroment like quanta but something with ftp
[09:27] <Shakezula> Hey what's a good GTK program that uses GPG to encrypt files or directories an end user could use?
[09:28] <Nrvs> i been having trouble installing some programs lately, think its something wrong with Make app.. not sure, kinda new with ubuntu
[09:28] <eternalswd> russellb, okay so you just want to write the code and ftp it to a server, not run a development server?
[09:29] <FRET> Shakezula, can be found in the ubuntu wiki I think
[09:30] <brendonjt> nrvs:  are you compiling your own apps:
[09:31] <Nrvs> this is all stuff i've gotten on the net, following install instructions and i get errors, thought it was just something with some of the programs but now im thinkin its somethign in ubuntu
[09:31] <eternalswd> russelb, probably the closest thing to what you want for writing code and having ftp access is Nvu.  I don't think there's much php support for it, so if you need to check syntax or something, you'd need to load up the php file in gedit or xemacs or some similar program
[09:31] <AlienX> Nrvs, which apps are you trying to compile?
[09:31] <Nrvs> tried to install the new cowpatty 4.0. no luck
[09:32] <hamdan> can i remove update manger and reinstall it >
[09:32] <hamdan> ?
[09:32] <Shakezula> Hm.
[09:33] <redhand> hamdan, why reason?
[09:33] <AlienX> Nrvs, what is the error you get when you try to compile?
[09:33] <Nrvs> lemme get it..
[09:33] <m_0_r_0_n> What package do I have to install to get fonts with antialiasing?
[09:34] <Kream> in ubuntu why am i denied permission when I do this: sudo pwd > en-GB.patch.README
[09:34] <Kream> ?
[09:34] <hamdan> redhand error message " software index is broken "
[09:35] <redhand> hamdan, hmm...
[09:35] <AlienX> Kream, that's just a readme file...you can read it in vi or nano or whatever your favorite text editor is
[09:35] <tjb> To run a Live CD, do I just 'start'?  I don't want it to write to my HD.
[09:36] <Nrvs> i pm'd error alien, kinda big
[09:36] <Madpilot> tjb, the LiveCD won't touch your HD unless you start the install
[09:36] <redhand> hamdan, see that: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202619
[09:36] <richiefrich> Kream and you piped to it so now you might have over written it
[09:36] <Kream> AlienX: i want to redirect the output of the pwd file to a README file.

[09:37] <Kream> anyway
[09:37] <richiefrich> Kream i am on it

[09:38] <AlienX> Nrvs, sounds like there is something wrong with whatever the libraries are in the app.
[09:38] <redhand> say /ignore and be happy =)
[09:38] <kintaro0e> hi guys...i need help on this: apt-get install ssh and it shows the error like this= Media change: please insert the disc label
[09:38] <Kream> which password file? i just want to redirect the output of the command pwd to an arbitrary file. and root has write perms on that directory.
[09:39] <Nrvs> can this be corrected
[09:39] <Nrvs> ?
[09:39] <brendonjt> hamdan: in a terminal type sudo apt-get install -f
[09:39] <Madpilot> Nrvs, next time, use a pastebin
[09:39] <fnozzke> how hard is it to install ubuntu compare with windows? ?
[09:39] <AlienX> i think he got the hint...
[09:39] <brendonjt> madpilot:  how does pastebin work  i have seen it here mentioned heaps of times
[09:39] <AlienX> fnozzke, much easier to install ubuntu than windows
[09:39] <Samuli^> !pastebin > brendonjt
[09:40] <fnozzke> oki
[09:40] <Ackeubu_> hey, i have read and used many many howtos to get my ATI  binary drivers to work several found on ubuntu wiki. no matter what I do i cant get ubuntu to use the fglrx drivers, so the mesa is used. I get this error. Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". Can someone explain what that means, and give any hints to what to do to solve it?
[09:40] <tjb> What do I select when I boot the Live CD?  'Start or install Ubuntu'?
[09:40] <AlienX> Nrvs, i'm not sure if it's something wrong with that package or if you're missing some library
[09:40] <brendonjt> cheers Samuli'
[09:40] <Samuli^> thank ubotu :)
[09:40] <Nrvs> well, i see openssl mentioned in the error, i have made sure i've installed it and a couple other necessities "read about on sites"
[09:40] <omnid> How would one allow a program to be used without administration approval
[09:41] <brendonjt> ok
[09:41] <brendonjt> thanks ubotu
[09:41] <AlienX> Nrvs, post the entire output of the compile over on the forum and see if anyone knows
[09:41] <Samuli^> omnid, chmod +x ?
[09:41] <omnid> On a program?
[09:41] <tjb> Yay -- Live CD's booting.
[09:42] <brendonjt> tjb: that good news
[09:42] <tjb> It's taking some time though.
[09:42] <Madpilot> tjb, now much RAM do you have, and what CPU speed?
[09:42] <Samuli^> omnid, I'm not sure, but I think that's how it works. You make it executable to others than root, though it might not be that simple in some (most) cases.
[09:42] <tjb> A gig of RAM, and a 3Ghz Celeron.
[09:43] <BeepAU> could someone help me burn an audio cd with gnomebaker?
[09:43] <Madpilot> tjb, the LiveCD should run just fine once it gets to the desktop, then. My system is 2Gbz/1Gb, it runs the Dapper LiveCD almost as fast as the destop version, mostly
[09:44] <brendonjt> beepau: use k3b  i have found it better than gnomebaker
[09:44] <tjb> Booted now.  It looks great.
[09:44] <tjb> Although the fonts aren't all that.
[09:45] <tjb> Then again, I am sitting close to the screen.
[09:45] <mkquist> netork problem solved for now...
[09:45] <brendonjt> tjb:  what were u using before  what version of ubuntu
[09:45] <mkquist> tjb -dont like ubuntu fonts?
[09:46] <tjb> This is the first time I've tried it.  I was using Windows before.
[09:46] <mkquist> tjb - well u can install those fonts in ubuntu
[09:46] <brendonjt> tjb:  well all i can say  is good to see another ubuntu user
[09:46] <AustLaw> ya, the ubuntu fonts are bothersome
[09:46] <omnid> So I add it to the command? Samuli^
[09:46] <tjb> It's really easy to use.
[09:46] <Kream> in ubuntu why am i denied permission when I do this: sudo pwd > blahblah on a directory in which root has write permission?
[09:46] <AustLaw> starting to get use to them, but still prefer the windows fonts
[09:46] <omnid> The run command
[09:46] <tjb> I'm only on a Live CD right now.
[09:47] <brendonjt> tjb:  so what do you think  are ya going to install it?
[09:47] <kkman> hi! I was wondering if anyone here can help me find a right channel to as a low level gcc question
[09:47] <fnozzke> its easy to get internet to work onced u installed ubuntu?:)
[09:47] <tjb> brendonjt: Not sure just yet.  Possibly.
[09:47] <AustLaw> you dont even need to install it -.-
[09:47] <tjb> brendonjt: My main concern is that I don't have a spare computer for it (I'd have to dual-boot).
[09:47] <fnozzke> oki, its find it self?=)
[09:47] <mkquist> to install window fonts, might check here, works for me.. http://www.taimila.com/ubuntuosx.php
[09:48] <AustLaw> I not have 3 comps and im still dual booting it lol
[09:48] <AustLaw> *I now have
[09:48] <mkquist> Austlaw - u might be interested in that
[09:48] <chops-> how come i am getting this error open("/usr/share/locale/en.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/make.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[09:48] <brendonjt> tjb:  you can duelboot
[09:48] <hamdan> redhand i solve the problem by synaptic
[09:48] <Madpilot> Kream, why are you using sudo & pwd anyway? pwd is just 'print working directory', it doesn't need sudo...
[09:48] <AndrukTatum> kkman: whats the question?
[09:48] <glick> howdy
[09:49] <AustLaw> how do I change root password?
[09:50] <Madpilot> AustLaw, unless you've already set one, there isn't a working root pw in Ubuntu...
[09:50] <kyja> systen?administration>lin panel
[09:50] <AndrukTatum> tjb: i highly suggest dual-booting, it gives you the best of both worlds, and shows you how crappy windows really is
[09:50] <kintaro0e> hi guys...i need help on this: apt-get install ssh and it shows the error like this= Media change: please insert the disc label
[09:51] <AustLaw> each time it asks me for my sudo password its just my normal password?
[09:51] <tjb> My only problem with dual-booting is that it can be risky and (as far as I know) if I decided I wanted only Windows again on that machine, I'd have to reinstall Windows
[09:51] <xhaan> AustLaw, yes
[09:51] <redhand> hamdan, great :)
[09:51] <AustLaw> hmm I would prefer a root password :|
[09:51] <redhand> hamdan, that link helped?
[09:51] <AustLaw> you do not have to reinstall windows if you dont want to dual boot anymore
[09:52] <hamdan> rechand no :(
[09:52] <Madpilot> AustLaw, it's really not needed - have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[09:52] <redhand> hamdan, hmm... what do you did?
[09:52] <redhand> *did you do
[09:52] <redhand> sorry for my english =/
[09:52] <m_0_r_0_n> What package do I have to install to get better fonts for websites?
[09:52] <fnozzke> its easy to find and install new programs in ubuntu?:)
[09:53] <redhand> m_0_r_0_n, copy TTF fonts from windows
[09:53] <fnozzke> opensource programs..
[09:53] <AndrukTatum> tjb: lol, actually, you could use a linux liveCD to remove linux, although the probablility of you wanting to remove linux, especially ubuntu and its derivatives, is extremely unlikely
[09:53] <chops-> anyone know how to fix this error open("/usr/share/locale/en.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/make.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[09:53] <m_0_r_0_n> I dont use windows
[09:53] <hamdan> the reason was some broken packges
[09:53] <Madpilot> m_0_r_0_n, you can get the MS TTF fonts if you think they're better (I don't, personally)
[09:54] <fyrestrtr> the core ms fonts are in repos
[09:54] <omnid> I can't even find where this program installed to
[09:54] <AustLaw> i have to say, ubuntu is very friendly to install and use starting out
[09:54] <eXistenZ> Madpilot, they're better, that's a fact.
[09:54] <m_0_r_0_n> Madpilot, fonts in monochrome style (no antialiasing) are boring
[09:54] <AustLaw> which is what turned me off to linux when i tried it several years ago
[09:54] <omnid> much less change it's properties so no one needs to be a superuser to use it
[09:54] <xhaan> i just got a second hard drive and made it primary and put windows on secondary drive... used the magical 'map' command in menu.lst and now it can boot xp from the second drive :0
[09:55] <fnozzke> its easy to find and install new programs in ubuntu compare with windows.. ?
[09:55] <AustLaw> tried debian 4 years ago, was rather intemidated by the huge ugly package installer during the install, the 6 CDs
[09:55] <fyrestrtr> !software
[09:55] <ubotu> You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, apt-cache, the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com  -  Ubuntu has about 18000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways!
[09:55] <AndrukTatum> fnozzke: absolutely, it is the easiest part of it
[09:55] <AustLaw> on top of that I was not able to get a gui working
[09:55] <m_0_r_0_n> How do you configure the gdm-themes. I ve installed a lot of gdm themes but cant find the manager to configure them
[09:56] <fnozzke> oki
[09:56] <AustLaw> ubuntu was not like that at all
[09:56] <Madpilot> m_0_r_0_n, System->Preferences->Themes
[09:56] <fyrestrtr> m_0_r_0_n: system > administration > login window
[09:56] <Madpilot> m_0_r_0_n, gah, sorry, what fyrestrtr for GDM stuff...
[09:56] <AndrukTatum> debian now has a network install CD - only one CD, and it installs all you want
[09:56] <AndrukTatum> although it was not a graphical installer...
[09:57] <m_0_r_0_n> fyrestrtr?
[09:57] <Kream> Madpilot: i just want to redirect the output of pwd to a file.
[09:57] <xhaan> i rather liked debian... though i picked ubuntu now because it seems to use more recent package versions
[09:57] <Kream> Madpilot: and since i'm in a directory where only root has write perms, i used sudo
[09:57] <fyrestrtr> Kream: pwd > somefile
[09:57] <AndrukTatum> outdated packages were the reason i switched to ubuntu
[09:57] <Kream> fyrestrtr: which works great in ~
[09:57] <glick> i really wish they would pick a new default color but other then that its a nice distro
[09:58] <AndrukTatum> amen glick
[09:58] <madman__> where are the screensaver images stored ?
[09:58] <sanddrag> is there anyone here who has installed XGL and Compiz?
[09:58] <fyrestrtr> sanddrag: sure
[09:58] <AustLaw> does anyone know how to customize the gnome "main toolbar" the one with "back, forward, up, etc" displayed at the top?
[09:58] <Kream> fyrestrtr: but if you go to, say, /usr/lib/openoffice/share/registry/schema/org/openoffice/Office and type pwd > file it won't do it. and neither will it do it if i use sudo
[09:59] <fyrestrtr> AustLaw: you mean nautlius? Just install a theme set.
[09:59] <eXistenZ> which is better gnome or kde
[09:59] <sanddrag> I installed xgl and compiz and when I select the XGL session and log in, I get an arrow on a brown screen for maybe 10 seconds, then a black screen for a second, then the round "busy" cursor on a brown screen for maybe 5 seconds, then it returns to the login screen
[09:59] <fyrestrtr> eXistenZ: better for what? use what you like.
[09:59] <sanddrag> any ideas whats wrong?"
[09:59] <Madpilot> sanddrag, #ubuntu-xgl
[09:59] <sanddrag> oh
[09:59] <fyrestrtr> sanddrag: that's xgl for ya :)
[10:00] <eXistenZ> fyrestrtr, I need simplistic, minimalistic theme.
[10:00] <eXistenZ> s/theme/interface
[10:00] <AustLaw> fyrestrtr: i guess there is no way to make them smaller within the current theme?
[10:00] <chops-> anyone know why ubuntu gives me that error ?
[10:01] <AustLaw> fyrestrtr: I like the style of them, they are just huge (they seem huge in many of the themes)
[10:01] <fyrestrtr> eXistenZ: you can turn off the toolbars, if that helps.
[10:02] <madman__> where are the screensaver images stored ?
[10:03] <Thlayli> is there still a problem with the update of the xserver-core?
[10:03] <m_0_r_0_n> How is it possible to repair incomplete installations. I tried to open Desktop->Administration->Login Window , but I get the message "Could no launch menu item: Failed to execute child process gdmsetup. No such file or directory"?
[10:04] <chops-> any idea how i can fix open("/usr/share/locale/en.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/make.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[10:04] <jazzrocker> system_username = "network username" <--- from the ubuntu wiki page on installing samba and setting up users, this is supposed to go into the /etc/samba/smbusers file but my question is: are both those parameters supposed to be interpreted? or just the first?
[10:05] <Thlayli> maybe a "$>sudo touch /usr/share/locale/en.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/make.mo" helps
[10:05] <Thlayli> but i doubt it
[10:05] <jazzrocker> is that a literal "network name" or is that supposed to be "bobjohnsonfoo"
[10:05] <chops-> daydream BBS won't compile
[10:05] <Samuli^> omnid, no, you need to change the permission of the executable. Try man chmod
[10:06] <omnid> man chmod?
[10:06] <omnid> Is that a program?
[10:06] <Samuli^> omnid, and keep it mind, I don't know if it works or not :)
[10:06] <Samuli^> omnid, you need to open terminal and type it there.
[10:06] <omnid> oh I see
[10:07] <mutk> omnid, First of all, check that the file "/usr/share/locale/en.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/make.mo" exists before chmoding it..
[10:07] <mutk> omnid, ls /usr/share/locale/en.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/make.mo
[10:07] <jazzrocker> anyone?
[10:07] <jazzrocker> mutk, know anything about samba?
[10:07] <mutk> omnid, BTW that is not necessarily an error - it is from strace right?
[10:07] <omnid> Nope
[10:07] <glick> drpython is a pretty cool ap
[10:07] <omnid> What
[10:08] <glick> hey does anyone or has anyone used tomboy?
[10:08] <omnid> Wait what are you talking about
[10:08] <mutk> jazzrocker, Less than I should and more than I want - to know :) .No expert.
[10:08] <omnid> I'm just trying to chmod a wifi program
[10:08] <jazzrocker> mutk, any idea where i could find the answer to my question?
[10:08] <omnid> what is make.mo?
[10:08] <chops-> that was meant for me
[10:08] <Samuli^> omnid, why do you want to change it's permissions?
[10:08] <mkquist> jazzrocker - just set up samba, might be some help.. works for me
[10:08] <omnid> So that the guest account can access wifi routers
[10:09] <omnid> They need to be a superuser to change network settings though
[10:09] <jazzrocker> mkquist, whaa? i don't follow
[10:09] <Samuli^> omnid, okay.
[10:09] <omnid> Yeah so I will try your command
[10:09] <mkquist> thought u needed assist w/samba
[10:09] <omnid> nope that's someone else
[10:09] <mkquist> if not nm
[10:09] <jazzrocker> mkquist, yes did you see my question?
[10:09] <chops-> so i am guessing ubuntu is not compatible with daydream BBS software due to that problem
[10:10] <mkquist> jazzrocker - yep
[10:10] <azathoth> what's the curent situation with aiglx in regards to nvidia cards? is it still better to stay with xgl?
[10:10] <jazzrocker> mkquist, right so... do you know anything about that?
[10:10] <mkquist> jazzrocker - a sec pls
[10:11] <omnid> chmod wifi-radar ...
[10:11] <omnid> Is that all I type?
[10:11] <madman93> test string :  
[10:12] <madman93> can u see this string???
[10:12] <ekowalc> I am pretty new to Ubuntu. I have a package I installed with Synaptic network-manager and I cant seem to get it to show up on the toolbar. How do I do that?
[10:12] <richiefrich> madman93 if you are testing unicode
[10:12] <richiefrich> madman93  looks sexy
[10:12] <azathoth> madman93: i can, it looks korean
[10:12] <omnid> It's korean madman right
[10:12] <Madpilot> madman93, looks like it worked
[10:12] <Madpilot> !ko

[10:12] <madman93> umm.. ok thx
[10:13] <RMorris84> how do u like renew my ip?
[10:13] <richiefrich> o.O
[10:13] <chops-> any idea how i can fix this error when trying to compile daydream bbs / open("/usr/share/locale/en.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/make.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[10:13] <mneptok> RMorris84: huh?
[10:13] <SpComb> RMorris84: you mean DHCP?
[10:13] <richiefrich> RMorris84 what do u mwan
[10:14] <RMorris84> like the equiv. of ipconfig /release /renew in windows
[10:14] <mneptok> RMorris84: sudo dhclient $interface_name
[10:14] <richiefrich> RMorris84 why would you need too
[10:14] <mneptok> RMorris84: sudo dhclient eth0
[10:14] <mneptok> etc etc
[10:14] <richiefrich> that is if your using dhcp
[10:14] <BeepAU> could someone help me burn an audio cd with gnomebaker?
[10:14] <Samuli^> omnid, check the man chmod
[10:14] <SpComb> richiefrich: if you are playing around with your dhcpd config and want to test if it's getting the right settings...
[10:15] <mneptok> richiefrich: if he wasn't he wouldn;t be asking about a renewal of a DHCP lease ;)
[10:15] <jazzrocker> mkquist, got anything?
[10:15] <richiefrich> mneptok he nbever said dhcp
[10:15] <omnid> man = manual I guess then
[10:15] <omnid> !chmod > omnid
[10:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about chmod - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:15] <Samuli^> omnid, yeah. There's a manpage for pretty much everything.
[10:15] <mneptok> richiefrich: but he asked about renewal of a lease. that's doesn;t happen except with DHCP.
[10:15] <SpComb> richiefrich: "the equiv. of ipconfig /release /renew in windows"
[10:16] <richiefrich> not necessarily
[10:16] <SpComb> I think we can assume that he is using DHCP with 99% accuracy ^^
[10:16] <jazzrocker> where can i find that syntax
[10:16] <mneptok> richiefrich: what alternative do you suggest?
[10:16] <SpComb> BOOTP?
[10:16] <richiefrich> i can change my ip anytime
[10:16] <BeepAU> !cdcreator
[10:16] <richiefrich>  im all static
[10:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cdcreator - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:16] <ekowalc> Anyone help with getting a new installed package icon onto the desktop?

[10:17] <mkquist_> jazzrocker-maybe i cant help, not understanding ur question, just set mine up yesterday

[10:17] <jazzrocker> mkquist, i just want to know the syntax for the /etc/samba/smbusers file
[10:18] <jazzrocker> mkquist, any idea where to find that?
[10:18] <jazzrocker> or anyone else for that matter?
[10:18] <richiefrich> mneptok so what dhcp doesnt automatically give you a different ip
[10:18] <RMorris84> i get that error when i try to install kubuntu-desktop from the terminal can someone help me

[10:20] <Madpilot> ekowalc, everything in add/remove apps will add itself to the menu; not everything available thru synaptic will
[10:20] <mneptok> kyja: how did you install it?
[10:20] <ekowalc> what I have done is installed Network-Manager-Gnome off of synaptic, and I cant find that icon.
[10:20] <kyja> this time I used easy ubuntu mneptok
[10:21] <mneptok> i *loathe* those scripts.
[10:21] <kyja> mneptok, I looked at synaptic and it looks ok. I should not have used the easyubuntu though.

[10:31] <jman888_> Is there a way to list everything i have installed?
[10:32] <backz> do u install TTF fonts on ubuntu?
 you can use synaptic, look at custom listing
[10:33] <jman888_> Is there  a way in terminal(My Pc hates synpatic)
[10:33] <madman93> 
[10:33] <mneptok> jman888_: ls -l /var/cache/apt/archive
[10:34] <ekowalc> how do I add a command to run at startup?
[10:35] <sol> hello?
[10:35] <hockyhair> hello
[10:36] <BeepAU> ok, i tried burning a audio cd with gnomebaker and got this error - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22127 , can anyone help me?
[10:36] <Madpilot> backz, in the file manager, hit Ctrl+H, find .fonts, drop your ttf files in there. done.
[10:36] <hockyhair> i am wondering what the cmd is to change the computers name
[10:36] <jman888_> mneptok, ls: /var/cache/apt/archive: No such file or directory
[10:36] <kyja> request. can someone send a fresh /etc/apt/sources.list file to me please.
[10:36] <backz> Madpilot, msttcorefonts is a good way to do it?
[10:37] <Madpilot> backz, yes, if all you want is MS's fonts. To add anything else, do the .fonts thing
[10:37] <mneptok> jman888_: ls -l /var/cache/apt/archives
[10:37] <ekowalc> how do I add a command to run at startup?
[10:37] <mneptok> hockyhair: hostname
[10:38] <mneptok> hockyhair: don't forget to chnage /etc/hosts as well
[10:38] <mneptok> (or sudo will hate you)
[10:39] <backz> Madpilot, because I look it on dark background, and when TTF font is small... I can't see it correctly... antialiase I think. do you have problems with TTF fonts on dark background?
[10:39] <Madpilot> backz, depends on the font
[10:39] <hockyhair> ty mneptok
[10:40] <backz> Madpilot, arial, verdana... most used on webpages
[10:40] <hockyhair> now my only other question is how to enable identd.. i've installed oidentd, but it doesn't seem to be working.
[10:40] <Madpilot> backz, never noticed much of a problem, and I don't use MS's fonts, only the Ubuntu default ones
[10:40] <TLE> BeepAU: Try to unmount the cd before you open gnomebaker type: unmount /dev/sg0
[10:41] <Madpilot> backz, of course, I do use Opera instead of Firefox, and Opera has better text rendering than FF...
[10:41] <backz> Madpilot, ubuntu default ones is so strange =P
[10:41] <TLE> BeepAU: It sounds like this bug https://launchpad.net/distros/debian/+bug/30558
[10:41] <ekowalc> how do I add a command to run at startup?
[10:41] <mneptok> backz: they're only "strange" because the only fonts you know came right from the Redmond Kool-Aid dispenser. ;)
[10:41] <backz> mneptok, jajajaja =)
[10:42] <BeepAU> TLE -- I don't think sg0 is even what my burner is, whats the command to list devices?
[10:42] <irawan> jman888_; /var/cache/apt/archives is the place you of the downloaded .deb files
[10:42] <mneptok> ls /dev
[10:42] <irawan> jman888_: they are not necessarily installed
[10:42] <mneptok> BeepAU: is it IDE?
[10:42] <jman888_> iratsu, But i already did apt-get clean a few days ago.

[10:45] <thundr> what's the command for changing the xorg driver?
[10:45] <ekowalc> Anyone know how to add a command to run at startup? I want to automatically bring up my WAP connection, instead of having to command line it everytime

[10:47] <BeepAU> TLE -- so, what to do now?

[10:48] <ekowalc> WPA
[10:49] <TLE> BeepAU: Og right, well then we know that it is a device, perhaps it is the burner. Try to: "unmunt /dev/sg0" before opening gnomebaker
[10:49] <z\> WPA2 radius.
[10:49] <z\> rls
[10:49] <caverdude> heh

[10:49] <TLE> BeepAU: sorry unmount /dev/sg0
[10:49] <z\> :)

[10:49] <caverdude> mandriva sounds like a drug
[10:50] <mneptok> "caverdude" sounds like someone covered with thick body fur who can't speak, and only grunts. so there we are.
[10:50] <mutk> caverdude, And Fedora sounds like a hat
[10:50] <ekowalc> I have it running, I just have to manually wpa_supplicant everytime I reboot

[10:50] <caverdude> is Red hat dead?

[10:50] <mneptok> ekowalc: you'll want to look at /etc/network/inteerfaces, /etc/wpa_supplicant, and a couple other files.
[10:50] <mutk> caverdude, Certainly not. Keep up the troll though
[10:50] <AndrukTatum> does the graphical install of ubuntu automatically install your wireless card?
[10:51] <Madpilot> caverdude, perhaps it's just pining for the fiords
[10:51] <TLE> BeepAU: oh didn't read that far, but it is a Debian bug, perhaps it fell through the import into Ubuntu :: damn can't spell comands rigth

[10:52] <AndrukTatum> right now ive got an eth0 that is active, and an ath0 connection that is active, and i can see ESSIDs, so its working, right?
[10:52] <TLE> caverdude: Some claim that the packaging system .deb is better than .rpm
[10:52] <mneptok> DJAdmiral: i wouldn;t be bothering with it except VMWare wants an image file from us.
[10:52] <caverdude> ah I see redhat became fedora
[10:53] <DJAdmiral> mneptok: what kind of image file do you need?
[10:53] <BeepAU> TLE -- ok, i've started it.
[10:53] <mneptok> DJAdmiral: building an Ubuntu desktop image for them.
[10:53] <AndrukTatum> how do i install java or a java equivalent for firefox?

[11:11] <Phreakys> is fontpath a string or?
[11:12] <DJAdmiral> Phreakys: basically the first command is what's important
[11:12] <TLE> I'll be away for 20 min
[11:12] <DJAdmiral> Phreakys: grep searches for words within files

[11:18] <raziel> anyone upgraded from hoary to dapper successfully ?
[11:18] <DJAdmiral> arn1: i'll try that now

[11:20] <arn1> can you upload DJAdmiral?
[11:21] <DJAdmiral> arn1: i'll try that - and i'll login as anonymous first

[11:22] <arn1> ok well use arnaud then
[11:22] <arn1> DJAdmiral : I don't have this password!!
[11:23] <tjb> I'm using a Ubuntu Live CD on my laptop.  I can't quite set the sensitivity of my trackpad very high.  Any ideas of how to do this?  I've used the settings panel to set both settings (sensitivity and acceleration) to the max, but it's still not enough.
[11:24] <DJAdmiral> arn1: i'm logged in as arnaud - i'll upload a gif image now
[11:24] <Anubuntu> how do I change the bootup mount points?
[11:24] <arn1> ok
[11:24] <DJAdmiral> arn1: gif image successfully uploaded - it's called tux.gif
[11:24] <Anubuntu> and how do I tell ubuntu which partitions to use as swap (had to edit the partition table, now its using the wrong partition)
[11:24] <DJAdmiral> i'm closing connection with your ftp server
[11:25] <DJAdmiral> arn1: can you see tux.gif?
[11:25] <arn1> DJAdmiral: thanks very much for your help it works!
[11:26] <mneptok> Anubuntu: /etc/fstab
[11:26] <trygg> I have a problem with my soundcards. I have an integrated soundcard and another thats "external", however my ubuntu uses the wrong one, how can i change it?
[11:26] <DJAdmiral> arn1: no problemo!
[11:26] <trygg> I can see them both in lspci
[11:26] <DJAdmiral> Phreakys: back to you
 look at your /etc/fstab, edit and change the swap to correct partition
[11:27] <DeeTahPanLtah> damnit,i have untypical problem
[11:27] <DeeTahPanLtah> my mate has totally messed up his ubuntu
[11:27] <DeeTahPanLtah> and he needs it to reinstalled
[11:27] <mkquist_> trygg - try this page.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449
[11:27] <DeeTahPanLtah> he has windows working find,so he can download newest ubuntu image
[11:28] <DeeTahPanLtah> last one he installed from 5.10 cd but it's waay too old
[11:28] <DeeTahPanLtah> he has grub working,is there some way to make it boot virtual CD/
[11:29] <Phreakys> ah
[11:29] <Phreakys> DJadmiral, do you know how to append grepped output to a parameter line?
[11:29] <DeeTahPanLtah> ...is there?
[11:29] <Phreakys> Xgl :1 -ac -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv -fp /usr/share/fonts/misc,/usr/share/fonts/other_fonts
[11:30] <Phreakys> this is the normal parameter
[11:30] <DJAdmiral> Phreakys: that would require piping i think
[11:30] <Phreakys> but instead of the dirs i would like to have a grep command there
[11:30] <tjb> DeeTahPanLtah: What is a 'virtual CD'?
[11:30] <Phreakys> someone told me it requires subshell or something
[11:30] <DeeTahPanLtah> i mean
[11:30] <DeeTahPanLtah> he may download ubuntu cd
[11:30] <DeeTahPanLtah> on a windows ntfs partition
[11:30] <DJAdmiral> DeeTahPanLtah: as in an ISO?
[11:30] <DeeTahPanLtah> and even mount it
[11:30] <DeeTahPanLtah> the problem is how to boot it?
[11:31] <DeeTahPanLtah> he has access only to tty,xserv's messed up
[11:31] <DJAdmiral> Phreakys: not sure.
[11:31] <mneptok> DeeTahPanLtah: burn the .iso and boot off it
[11:31] <DeeTahPanLtah> there is no cd recorder ;'<
[11:31] <DJAdmiral> ShipIt? lol
[11:31] <DeeTahPanLtah> yeah,and wait 6 weeks?
[11:31] <Phreakys> tnx dj, you'
[11:31] <Phreakys> r right
[11:31] <mneptok> you could download VMWare player and use it to boot the .iso file in a virtual session ...
[11:32] <Phreakys> found something about piping output in shell
 can he connect to the net using current ubuntu?
[11:32] <tjb> DeeTahPanLtah: Can't he just use the old CD again?
[11:32] <DeeTahPanLtah> last time it was his friend who installed it
[11:32] <DeeTahPanLtah> i'm afraid he'll faster clear his partition table than install it in old installer
[11:33] <DeeTahPanLtah> i myself found it quite...complicated to use it
[11:33] <mneptok> DeeTahPanLtah: he could install off the old CD and then do a net upgrade to Dapper
[11:33] <DeeTahPanLtah> rather not
[11:33] <DeeTahPanLtah> no way to boot it but the vmware?
[11:34] <tjb> DeeTahPanLtah: Could he go out and buy a CD (or a magazine carrying a CD perhaps)?
 well, I guess if you can download the iso and burn a cd, you can give it to him :)
[11:34] <irawan> DeeTahPanLtah: tjb maybe right too
[11:34] <DeeTahPanLtah> damnit,no other,free ways?
[11:34] <DeeTahPanLtah> ;p
[11:34] <Dorraj> hey
[11:35] <Dorraj> i have a few ubuntu related questions
[11:35] <Dorraj> could anyone help me?
[11:35] <tjb> How do I change my trackpad sensitivity in an Ubuntu Live CD?  Using System -> Preferences -> Mouse doesn't work.
[11:35] <Dorraj> the people in the #linux channel on the netgamers server are bastards and called me a dumbass
[11:35] <Dorraj> then they banned me
[11:36] <Dorraj> im a fist time linux user
 wait
[11:36] <Dorraj> so im not good at all
[11:36] <DJAdmiral> Dorraj: If you could ask your question...
[11:36] <DeeTahPanLtah> irawan: right
[11:36] <Madpilot> Dorraj, it helps if you actually ask a question...
[11:36] <DJAdmiral> DorraJ: and please do mind your language
[11:36] <tjb> Anyone using Ubuntu on a laptop?
[11:36] <DJAdmiral> tjb: me
[11:36] <trygg> mkquist_: I followed your guide, but my 'cat /proc/asound/modules' shows snd_via82xx, not snd-via82xx like in all the guides, what should i write in the files, what i get right?
[11:36] <tjb> DJAdmiral: How do you change the sensitivity?
[11:36] <tjb> (of the trackpad)
[11:37] <DJAdmiral> tjb: one sec
[11:37] <Dorraj> well i was waiting for someone to say, yeh ill help you
[11:37] <Dorraj> otherwise i could just sithere and talk to myself
[11:37] <Dorraj> and i dont want that

[11:37] <mkquist_> trygg - not 'my' guide...lol   I just had success with it
[11:37] <tjb> Dorraj: People won't want to do that because if they say they will and then are unable to, they look stupid.  :)
[11:37] <DeeTahPanLtah> where is kernel of ubuntu cd stored?
[11:37] <tjb> Dorraj: Thus you really should just ask
[11:37] <Dorraj> lol
[11:38] <trygg> mkquist_: Yeh i know, i didnt know who else to adress the question to. :)
[11:38] <Dorraj> ok
[11:38] <DJAdmiral> Dorraj: get to the point lol
[11:38] <mkquist_> but u should be able to edit
[11:38] <Dorraj> i wanted to install the "ghoti" irc client
[11:38] <Dorraj> and got stuck
[11:38] <Dorraj> didnt know what to do
[11:38] <DJAdmiral> tjb: i'm looking through that
[11:38] <tjb> DJAdmiral: Thanks.
[11:38] <Dorraj> i would prefer to use that
 burn the iso using cdrecord
[11:38] <DJAdmiral> Dorraj: try this command 'sudo apt-get install ghoti'
[11:38] <Dorraj> but atm im using xchat until i can get ghoti
[11:38] <DJAdmiral> !info ghoti

[11:39] <irawan> DeeTahPanLtah: well, go burn it for him or let him buy one I suppose
[11:39] <mkquist_> trygg-lemme looks see what i might come up with
[11:39] <mkquist_> trygg - hold on a mo
[11:40] <DJAdmiral> tjb: system -> preferences -> mouse -> motion tab and try tinkering with all sliders?
[11:40] <DJAdmiral> Dorraj: okay let me find where this 'ghoti' is first
[11:40] <Dorraj> ok
[11:40] <Dorraj> well i can give u a url if you want
[11:40] <rodelrod> hi there. I had to tweek a kernel a bit to make it work with a Compaq Proliant server and I wonder: 1. Is there any difference between the kernel as installed by Debian and Ubuntu?
[11:40] <tjb> DJAdmiral: Yeah, I've tried that, but it seems to make no difference (or perhaps very little difference).
[11:41] <Dorraj> http://www.tucows.com/preview/346103
[11:41] <rodelrod> 2. Is there a way to create an CD image of ubuntu with a custom kernel?
[11:41] <Dorraj> thats the ghoti dowload
[11:41] <Dorraj> it seems as there is no easy way to install stuff on linux
[11:41] <rambo3> rodelrod, kernel is a kernel , it just configs that can differ
[11:41] <Dorraj> im so used to windows
[11:41] <DJAdmiral> tjb: probably cause you're on the live cd
[11:41] <Dorraj> though i really want to beable to get good at using linux
[11:41] <tjb> DJAdmiral: Ah.
[11:42] <tjb> My \ key acts the same as <.  Is that another Live CD problem?
[11:42] <tjb> (i.e. if I press \, it inserts <)
[11:42] <rodelrod> rambo3: do you happen to know if the configs are any different between Debian Etch and Ubuntu?
[11:42] <DJAdmiral> tjb: things get to go real slow on the live cd and some variables may not adjust immediately. or ever :\
[11:42] <tjb> If I press <, it inserts < as well.
[11:42] <tjb> DJAdmiral: Acknowledged.
[11:42] <DJAdmiral> Dorraj: i'm looking at that link
[11:42] <tjb> I'm impressed by how fast it is though, for a Live CD.  (I was expecting extreme slow speeds.)
[11:42] <larsemil> how do i install a program that depends on libc6 version 2.3.6-6 or higher when the system uses 2.3.6-ubuntu20
[11:43] <Dorraj> djadmeral: ok
[11:43] <DJAdmiral> tjb: maybe keyboard issues? could be that the live cd detected a wrong keyboard
[11:43] <rambo3> rodelrod, you could ask someone with etch for their /boot/config2.6* and compare it to yours and see whats diffrent
[11:43] <rambo3> i realy dont know much more about etch, i parted from debian last year .
[11:43] <DJBlits> i got an game woth .dll files | can i play the game, or there come bugs?
[11:44] <tjb> Changing keyboard doesn't work unfortunately.
[11:44] <DJAdmiral> tjb: the ubuntu desktop on thoust hard disketh itself will bloweth thou away
[11:44] <tjb> If I do \ I get < and if I do Shift+\ I get >.
[11:44] <tjb> hehe
[11:44] <DJAdmiral> tjb: how are you able to put the slashes here on IRC though?!
[11:45] <tjb> I'm on my desktop here.
[11:45] <tjb> (Windows)
[11:45] <DJAdmiral> Dorraj: are you registered on this IRC server?
[11:45] <DJAdmiral> tjb: I mean ubuntu installed on a hard disk
[11:45] <tjb> The thing running Ubuntu is my laptop sitting beside me.
[11:45] <DJBlits> is there an program to use .dll files in linux, so i can play me game
[11:45] <Dorraj> nope
[11:45] <rodelrod> rambo3: thanks. If that's all that might differ I'll diff them.
[11:45] <Dorraj> just came here to seek help
[11:45] <Dorraj> im from irc.netgamers.org

[11:47] <rodelrod> Anyone knows if it is possible to build a ubuntu CD installer with a custom kernel?
[11:47] <Dorraj> how to make a perform list so it logs into bots and stuff on connect
[11:47] <DJAdmiral> Dorraj: you can get ghoti - just register with the IRC server and message me and I'll walk you through

[11:50] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell tjb about cli
[11:51] <BeepAU> tjb -- 'gksudo nautilus' lets you browse as root, be very careful though.
[11:51] <Madpilot> tjb, check the URL the bot just sent you, good basic intro to the command line stuff, and links to more tutorials & such
[11:51] <tjb> Madpilot: Thanks.

[12:06] <mabus> Is xubuntu essentially the same as ubuntu but with xcfe?
[12:07] <erUSUL> mabus: yes
[12:07] <DJAdmiral-brb> mabus: It's also quite a bit faster than ubuntu. It's meant for low end machines.
[12:07] <mabus> I have a pretty fast machine but I am used to fluxbox and I don't like gnome... so would xubuntu be the best option or should I do a server install and then install flux?
[12:08] <rambo3> BeepAU, did you mark cdrom ?
[12:08] <DJAdmiral-brb> let me clarify something: is fluxbox a window manager?
[12:08] <Lobster> yes
[12:09] <erUSUL> mabus: it's really up to you i guess...
[12:09] <ompaul> DJAdmiral-brb, it is, however it is a real one unlike KDE and GNOME and the symantics of that are that it calls X as opposed to its own layer
[12:09] <ompaul> more or less
[12:09] <DJAdmiral-brb> mabus: in that case you could try that server install thing if you wish but I dunno how fluxbox works with ubuntu and if it has all details beforehand
[12:09] <larsemil> anyone got sidebuttons working? followed like ten guides but none makes my sidebuttons work.
[12:09] <mabus> Well will it be as simple as apt-get install fluxbox?
[12:09] <BeepAU> rambo3 -- in the User privileges? Use CD-ROM Drives is selected
[12:09] <ompaul> mabus, if you want fluxubuntu drop into #fluxubuntu

[12:12] <simon__> Hi *

[12:12] <ompaul> mabus, here is one project http://www.fluxbuntu.org/

[12:16] <DJAdmiral> [TGV] Dorraj: hey there
[12:16] <Shadow_pillar> so multiple apps (and oss apps can play sound)
[12:16] <tjb> What's the difference between 'man' and 'info'?
[12:16] <BeepAU> rambo3 -- sudo: /etc/fstab: command not found  :S
[12:16] <DJAdmiral> [TGV] Dorraj: wondered where you went
[12:16] <[TGV] Dorraj> djadmeral: hi, disconnected, how do i login to my account
[12:16] <mneptok> simon__: xresprobe and the other X sniffybits are what you're after.
[12:16] <mabus> tjb: man is easy, I can't figure out info... heh
[12:16] <tjb> :D
[12:16] <jrib> [TGV] Dorraj: what server? freenode?
[12:16] <ompaul> tjb, man is the man pages, info can be man pages or a lot more data
[12:16] <rambo3> BeepAU, so you are a newbe . type this : sudo gedit /etc/fstab
[12:16] <DJAdmiral> [TGV] Dorraj: /msg nickserv identify yourpasshere
[12:17] <DJAdmiral> [TGV] Dorraj: and replace yourpasshere with well, your password
[12:17] <ompaul> rambo3, gksudo - its a graphical app
[12:17] <[TGV] Dorraj> i need to wait for my old nick to ping out
[12:17] <ompaul> !register
[12:17] <tjb> The fonts don't look great, yet the graphics are excellent (the 'human' theme on gnome).  Why is that?
[12:17] <[TGV] Dorraj> before i can log in
[12:17] <ubotu> Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[12:17] <rambo3> like its the end of the world
[12:18] <tjb> The fonts almost look too blurry.
[12:18] <DJAdmiral> ompaul: hey, do you remember the ubotu command where it tells people to not say 'hey can somebody help me or answer my question' or something like that?
[12:18] <tjb> It's hard to describe
[12:18] <BeepAU> rambo3 -- http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22132
[12:18] <ompaul> !anyone
[12:18] <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?
[12:18] <DJAdmiral> thanks ompaul
[12:18] <ompaul> DJAdmiral, ^^ (or ehh no :-))
[12:18] <Magicdead> tjb: there's a "Fonts" option in system -> settings, maybe it helps when you play around with that a bit
[12:18] <rambo3> BeepAU,  ls /dev/hda -l
[12:19] <BeepAU> rambo3 -- brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 3, 0 2006-08-31 23:51 /dev/hda
[12:19] <tjb> It's a shame they don't look great straight away though.
[12:19] <simon__> mneptok: yeah, thank you. But unfortunately I'm looking for a script that works also with non-ddc-compliant monitors, e.g. crts
[12:19] <tjb> I mean -- they're not that bad.  It's just an imperfection.
[12:20] <DJAdmiral> tjb: they look perfect on my laptop straight away
[12:20] <[TGV] Dorraj> how long will it take for my other nick to ping out :/
[12:20] <simon__> in ubuntu they seem to have a script that handles crts
[12:20] <DJAdmiral> [TGV] Dorraj: try restarting?
[12:20] <tjb> DJAdmiral: Were you able to make them look better?
[12:20] <tjb> DJAdmiral: Oh, scratch that.  Thought you said 'imperfect'.
[12:20] <jrib> [TGV] Dorraj: /msg nickserv help ghost
[12:20] <DJAdmiral> tjb: i didn't need to. They weren't blurry at all
[12:21] <rambo3> BeepAU, cd rom is ok then
[12:21] <rambo3> what is /dev/sg0 . maby you should try :sudo chown root:cdrom /dev/sg0
[12:21] <m_0_r_0_n> How is it possible to print an email in thunderbird with an umlaut in the subject?
[12:22] <Lobster> should be possible, m_0_r_0_n
[12:22] <Lobster> if its encodet right
[12:22] <m_0_r_0_n> hm,
[12:23] <DJAdmiral> Dorraj: there we go!
[12:23] <m_0_r_0_n> The printer prints if subjects dont include umlauts ...
[12:23] <rambo3> BeepAU, sudo chown root:cdrom /dev/sg0
[12:23] <samuel> #ubuntu-it
[12:24] <BeepAU> rambo3 -- no response
[12:24] <Lobster> do you think it is really called "umlaut" in english? :D
[12:24] <Lobster> #ubuntu-de
[12:24] <m_0_r_0_n> Umlaut is also english
[12:24] <m_0_r_0_n> like wurst, kindergarten, autobahn, ...
[12:24] <rambo3> BeepAU, that means it went ok .  can you try gnomebaker now
[12:25] <Lobster> ok :)
[12:25] <tjb> A tabbed terminal is awesome.  :D
[12:25] <DJBlits> can i play windows games on linyx!!!!!!?
[12:25] <Lobster> DJBlits yeah some
[12:25] <Lobster> but its difficult
[12:26] <DJBlits> Lobster and how?
[12:26] <jazzrocker> depends on the game how difficult.
[12:26] <Lobster> using an emulator
[12:26] <jrib> DJBlits: try wine and cedega
[12:26] <jazzrocker> DJBlits, usually through wine, usually with cedega
[12:26] <BeepAU> rambo3 -- i don't have any discs to test it on. i'm sure it's good though. thanks for your help.
[12:26] <Lobster> like wine and cedega
[12:26] <tjb> Well, this is the first time I've tried Linux in about three years (last time -- the only time -- was Mandrake;  this time, an Ubuntu Live CD) and I can say that I'm impressed.  Things seem to have become much easier, and better.
[12:26] <m_0_r_0_n> Lobster, and Linuxbierwanderung :-)
[12:26] <DJBlits> cedega is money :P
[12:26] <Lobster> look for cvscedega, its free, and look for a how-to
[12:26] <tjb> Configuring this system is child's play.
[12:26] <DJBlits> jazzrocker is that free?
[12:26] <DeeTahPanLtah> DJBlits: mate,we've got a lots of native games
[12:26] <Lobster> cvscedega is free
[12:27] <DeeTahPanLtah> !games > DJBlits
[12:27] <Lobster> you have to pay only for the binarys by transgaming
[12:27] <Viper12> cvscedega is a few revs behind the paid version.  just fyi.  > loyal cedega user....EVE ONLINE is why.
[12:27] <jazzrocker> dj_baggio, it's very cheap
[12:27] <jazzrocker> DJBlits, ---^
[12:27] <rambo3> DJBlits,  http://www.lokigames.com/
[12:27] <tjb> If only I had a spare computer to install it on though.  =(
[12:28] <Lobster> m_0_r_0_n wth is the linuxbierwanderung? :)
[12:28] <DJBlits> but cedera cost money is not free :(
[12:28] <DeeTahPanLtah> DJBlits: what about unreal tournament 2004,enemy territory or quake3?
[12:29] <Lobster> quake3 is narive fr linux now i think...
[12:29] <DeeTahPanLtah> personally i've installed ET and works fine
[12:29] <DeeTahPanLtah> that's what i meant to say ;d
[12:29] <rambo3> DJBlits, like csv cedega is free
[12:29] <DJBlits> cool :D
[12:30] <m_0_r_0_n> Lobster, http://www.linuxbierwanderung.org/ :-)
[12:30] <DJBlits> but
[12:30] <DJBlits> that ar old games
[12:30] <DeeTahPanLtah> DJBlits: what about unreal tournament 2004,enemy territory or quake3?
[12:30] <DJBlits> rambo3 csv cedega?
[12:30] <DJBlits> where i can dowload that?
[12:30] <mneptok> this i call my sailboat. these are all my friends.
[12:30] <DJAdmiral> brb people - helping out Dorraj
[12:30] <Lobster> http://icculus.org/quake3/ <-- quake 3 for linux
[12:30] <DJBlits> free?
[12:30] <trygg> Hm, when i try to run glxgears in X i get 'libGL error: failed to open DRM: Operation not permitted'. Anyone know anything?
[12:31] <rambo3> DJBlits, you too much OT take it to offtopic and check ubuntuforums game section
[12:31] <DeeTahPanLtah> DJBlits: demos are free
[12:31] <DeeTahPanLtah> DJBlits: personally,i feel that ET's demo is fully playable
[12:31] <DJBlits> woow much
[12:31] <tjb> Actually, the fonts don't really look bad (especially now that I've optimised them for my LCD).  However, I guess my main criticism is that they're all so *wide*.  And there aren't a huge number of fixed-width ones to choose form.
[12:31] <tjb> from*
[12:31] <Kyynara> trygg: use sudo
[12:31] <DJBlits> and. cedera or what, is that free to get?
[12:32] <geoffj> trygg: in /etc/xorg.conf look for DRI section; should have mode 0666 eg;
[12:32] <geoffj> Section "DRI"
[12:32] <geoffj> 	Mode	0666
[12:32] <geoffj> EndSection

[12:33] <Fleebailey33> dapper was just as bad
[12:33] <DeeTahPanLtah> Fleebailey33: take a look at the logs,that's a suggestion
[12:33] <trygg> geoffj: thanks. :)
[12:33] <gnomefreak> Fleebailey33: join #ubuntu+1 for edgy
[12:33] <Fleebailey33> nautluas problems
[12:33] <Lobster> this is a quake-3 engine for linux using the original files by id
[12:33] <DJBlits> jazzrocker: what i say, thats not free
[12:33] <Fleebailey33> thanks
[12:33] <geoffj> trygg: that should be /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:33] <jazzrocker> DJBlits, it costs like $6
[12:33] <Lobster> i'm sure you know a wa to get the files...
[12:34] <Lobster> yeah...
[12:34] <DJBlits> jazzrocker :P, thats wy i dont want it
[12:34] <chaosite> i have problems with gnome-power-manager. it doesn't update the battery status, only when I log off and back on it updates 1 time then stays like that. It also doesn't turn off the laptop when the battery is too low.
[12:34] <DJBlits> ar there other ways?
[12:34] <DJBlits> jazzrocker ar there other ways?
[12:34] <jazzrocker> DJBlits, ok then do what you've been told and go to the offtopic channel
[12:34] <DeeTahPanLtah> DJBlits: well,why don't you try ET demo? ;p
[12:34] <jazzrocker> !games > DJBlits

[12:39] <Amarant> Hi, how do i chance my refresh rate from 75 to 70 in resolution 1280x1024?
[12:39] <TLE> rambo3: BeepAU: Did you figure it out ?
[12:39] <DeeTahPanLtah> Amarant: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:39] <Amarant> yeah, tryed many ways but nothing works
[12:40] <Arafangion> Wierd issue: Gnome's panel randomly rearranges itself from time to time.
[12:40] <DeeTahPanLtah> Amarant: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server ?
[12:40] <Amarant> not familiar whit x.org congiguration file
[12:40] <Arafangion> And I can't move things back!
[12:40] <DeeTahPanLtah> Amarant: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server ?
[12:40] <rambo3> TLE, what
[12:40] <Amarant> and where do i command it to give me another hz?
[12:41] <DeeTahPanLtah> Amarant: there should be such thing in monitor settings
[12:41] <Amarant> it asks range, but wont let me dedicate the exact hz
[12:41] <DeeTahPanLtah> Amarant: just set everything up and in monitor settings choose "advanced"
[12:41] <TLE> rambo3: Did you figure out what was wrong with beepAU's burner/gnomebaker ?
[12:41] <xspike> hello everyone, im kind of new to using ubuntu and i would like to find out how to install DC++ for linux.
[12:41] <Amarant> DeeTahPanLtah: you aint listening me
[12:42] <Viper12> Arafangion:  Just right click what you want to move, and click "unlock".  Make sure you unlock the stuff near the area you wish to arrange so things will move out of the way.  when happy.  right click em all and lock em back up.
[12:42] <rambo3> yeah, /dev/sg0 wasnt member of cdrom group chowned it to root:cdrom
[12:42] <sorush20> DeeTahPanLtah: That didn't work sorry.. apt-get install locales
[12:42] <Amarant> DeeTahPanLtah: everyhting works fine, but i need to lower my hz, but cant see a way to do that
[12:42] <DeeTahPanLtah> sorush20: sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales then?
[12:42] <Arafangion> Viper12: Still can't move it.
[12:43] <TLE> rambo3: ok great, good to know, thanks for the help
[12:43] <Viper12> Arafangion:  "lock to panel"  i mean. (uncheck it.
[12:43] <DJBlits> lo
[12:43] <DJBlits> ll
[12:43] <DeeTahPanLtah> Amarant: when you'll follow this configurator,he'll ask you for a new value
[12:43] <snyper82> anyone know how to select xmms as the default media player in firefox?
[12:43] <rambo3> its was the old way with locales didnt they change it
[12:43] <DJBlits> cant donwload this game http://ftp//ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake4/linux/quake4-linux-1.3.2.x86.run
[12:43] <Arafangion> Viper12: Yup, I can't move it.
[12:43] <Viper12> you then right click the icon, and select 'move'.  now you should be able to move mouse and it will move.
[12:43] <DJBlits> wy?
[12:43] <DeeTahPanLtah> DJBlits: what exactly is wrong?
[12:43] <DJBlits> dunno
[12:43] <DJBlits> i cant download
[12:43] <fyrestrtr> DJBlits: because what you have typed is not a valid URL
[12:44] <DJBlits> if i click download 3 sec waot jos going to a other url
[12:44] <fyrestrtr> DJBlits: remove the http:// from it.
[12:44] <Arafangion> Viper12: Just a moment while I make a screenshot.
[12:44] <Dorraj> whats a good easy to install music player for ubuntu?
[12:44] <arag0rn> hi
[12:44] <fyrestrtr> all music players are easy to install.
[12:44] <Dorraj> well whats a good one?
[12:44] <fyrestrtr> Dorraj: for what? just playing music?
[12:44] <arag0rn> do i have to be root to smbmount something ?
[12:44] <arag0rn> is there a workaround ?
[12:44] <fyrestrtr> arag0rn: yes
[12:45] <fyrestrtr> arag0rn: sudo
[12:45] <Dorraj> mp3 wma wav
[12:45] <Dorraj> whatever
[12:45] <mneptok> nighty kids. play nice!
[12:45] <Dorraj> just a good music player
[12:45] <sorush20> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22134 DeeTahPanLtahno it didn't work again..
[12:45] <fyrestrtr> Dorraj: install xmms or banshee
[12:45] <snyper82> How do you change default media players?
[12:45] <Viper12> Arafangion:  just be aware that if you want to re-arange due to the panel getting messed up.....best practice is to unlock EVERYTHING.  Makes it easier to re-arrange.  then when done, re-lock down.  Tis annoying but doens't happen too often. (screen rez changes sometimes cause it.)
[12:45] <arag0rn> fyrestrtr, can i do it without sudo ?
[12:45] <jrib> !defaultapp > snyper82
[12:45] <memetic> How easy is it to set up a LAMP server in Ubuntu... with php-cgi/mod_fastcgi support? :)
[12:45] <arag0rn> fyrestrtr, as in no superuser priveleges ?
[12:45] <fyrestrtr> arag0rn: not really, not unless you edit fstab.
[12:46] <fyrestrtr> Dorraj: sudo apt-get install xmms
[12:46] <fyrestrtr> !lamp > memetic
[12:46] <DJBlits> hmm ok there i one game i want play, but not offical, its me own game maked in windows with friends
[12:46] <Arafangion> Viper12: Everything already unlocked.
[12:46] <DJBlits> now i want play it
[12:46] <DeeTahPanLtah> i'd use wine
[12:46] <DeeTahPanLtah> ;')
[12:46] <arag0rn> fyrestrtr, ok thanks
[12:46] <DJBlits> someon can help me?
[12:46] <Viper12> Arafangion:  so what happens when you click 'move' on an icon?  nothing?
[12:46] <DeeTahPanLtah> DJBlits: id use wine
[12:46] <DJBlits> yeah i did
[12:46] <DJBlits> but his giving errors
[12:47] <Arafangion> Viper12: Middle mouse button also ineffective.
[12:47] <memetic> fyrestrtr, that doesn't really answer the question, though.  Does it automatically set it up for php-cgi?  Or does the stock LAMP package only support mod_php?  Just curious.
[12:47] <Viper12> anything change on system? was it working fine prior ?
[12:47] <DJBlits> DeeTahPanLtah do u know it?
[12:47] <DJBlits> DeeTahPanLtah the files ar .dll and .exe
[12:48] <fyrestrtr> memetic: there is no 'lamp package'. You have two options, you either take the server cd, and install a lamp server from there, or you install the various services on your normal ubuntu install. You can choose whatever you want.
[12:48] <Dorraj> fyrestrtr: will that be ready to use once the intall thing is done?  sorry, im very bew to linux, like less than 24hrs
[12:48] <Arafangion> Viper12: The screenshot will show you _everything_ relevant. Is ~70KB too large?
[12:48] <DeeTahPanLtah> DJBlits: im looking for some quake4's mirror for you ;)
[12:48] <Viper12> not for me Arafangion
[12:48] <DJBlits> DeeTahPanLtah o thanks :D

[12:48] <app> Anyone know how to boot my Ubuntu partition, when I can not touch my MBR? I tried a GRUB boot CD, but failed to find right commands to boot. Can you do that with the Ubuntu live CD, to interrupt the CD boot to some boot loader prompt and then give some magical command to boot Dapper from partition 2 of my only SCSI disk (IBM Thinkpad 60m)?
[12:48] <fyrestrtr> Dorraj: you need to install the various codecs. Read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[12:48] <Arafangion> Viper12: Now, we just gotta wait for Network settings to _finally_ time out, so that I can switch to the *correct* network...
[12:48] <rambo3> memetic, install a firestarter of some other firewall tool  if you are installing those
[12:48] <memetic> o/` Ooookay.
[12:49] <tsw> anyone remember the option to tell nvidia card which output to use as "primary"
[12:49] <Viper12> Arafangion: sounds like yer havin' all kinds a ' fun this morning. lol
[12:49] <Dorraj> fyrestrtr: im still getting the hang of installing everthing, is it all done in the terminal?
[12:49] <Arafangion> Viper12: Nah, it just tried to connect to the wrong network - it's a laptop, Network Settings is _painfully_ slow on laptops with multiple networks setup.

[12:50] <jrib> Dorraj: no, you can use system > administration > synaptic
[12:50] <xspike> hello everyone, im kind of new to using ubunu and it would be nice if anyone could reccomend any good C++/java compilers for linux with a nice working GUI
[12:50] <Arafangion> Viper12: It's a brand new installation, thanks to a friend of mine who shall go nameless who decided to execute: sudo rm -rf /
[12:50] <Viper12> oh bugger.........so you're id isn't admin?
[12:50] <Viper12> that'd do it.

[12:50] <app> (I can not toch my MBR, because my Pointsec encrypted Windows XP partition 1 will not boot from GRUB. Or can someone fix that for me? Anyone booting Poinsec encrypted Windows with LILO or GRUB or anyhing that can have multiple boots?
[12:50] <Dorraj> jrib: how does that work?
[12:51] <Amarant> so, anyone else can tell me how to lower my fefresh rate?

[12:54] <Viper12> Arafangion: just curious, but if you orient that 'top', can you move stuff around?
[12:54] <DJBlits> ............ windows is nto better
[12:54] <Arafangion> Viper12: Found the issue - there's a tiny "grip" that is locked.
[12:54] <DJBlits> but maden programms well
[12:54] <mtholdenss> i need windows for audio and video stuff
[12:54] <Arafangion> Viper12: I just assumed that was a part of one of the widgets!
[12:54] <mtholdenss> but want ubuntu as a ok distro to surf, music, chat
[12:55] <Arafangion> mtholdenss: It's excellent for that.
[12:55] <rambo3> mtholdenss, just ask a question
[12:55] <Amarant> DeeTahPanLtah: ubuntus screen resolution preferences wont allow me to lower my refresh rate
[12:55] <Viper12> Arafangion:   excellent.  remember I did say unlock "EVERYTHING".....its easy to miss those.  :)
[12:55] <DeeTahPanLtah> can your monitor actually manage it? ;)
[12:55] <brooklyn> LordSkylark: is there any difference from ubuntu and kubuntu other than kde interface?
[12:55] <fyrestrtr> brooklyn: no
[12:55] <Arafangion> Viper12: Perhaps you should define what you mean by "everything" ;)
[12:55] <Amarant> DeeTahPanLtah: manage lower refresh rate than its doing right now?
[12:55] <DeeTahPanLtah> Amarant: ya
[12:56] <Viper12> lmao........uh............."every-mo-fo-in' thang".  -sam jackson voice impersonination.   ;)
[12:56] <mtholdenss> so could anyone guide me through using partition magic or help me with dual booting
[12:56] <dlh> hi guys
[12:56] <mtholdenss> i tried ubuntus partion thingy but it wouldnt work
[12:56] <DeeTahPanLtah> yeah,hi
[12:56] <crisarmen> c
[12:56] <Amarant> DeeTahPanLtah: its i'm using now 1280x1024@75 but i want to use 1280x1024@70
[12:56] <Amarant> DeeTahPanLtah: it works in windows.
[12:56] <dlh> i have a strange problem and i'll appreciate any help you can give me
[12:56] <DeeTahPanLtah> Amarant: all i can say then is... edit the xorg.conf file ;)
[12:56] <Arafangion> mtholdenss: I don't dualboot with Ubuntu, and I've never used PartitionMagic. Probably the best bet is to just use the Ubuntu software.
[12:56] <dlh> every time i start ubuntu the keyboards settings resets
[12:57] <DeeTahPanLtah> Amarant: there should be something like this:
[12:57] <Amarant> DeeTahPanLtah: well, thanks for your help.
[12:57] <DeeTahPanLtah> Section "Monitor" Identifier     "S/M 753DF" HorizSync       30.0 - 70.0 VertRefresh     50.0 - 160.0 Option         "DPMS"
[12:57] <rambo3> mtholdenss, just create an empty partition. resize some partition that is close to disk start . and install on free space there
[12:57] <DeeTahPanLtah> EndSection
[12:57] <fyrestrtr> mtholdenss: partition magic is not a bootloader. The ubuntu install process will detect windows, install a bootloader from which you can dual boot.
[12:57] <mtholdenss> used the ubuntu software and didnt work so ive been told do rezize my drives and create ext 3 drives and linux swap drives in windows
[12:57] <Amarant> DeeTahPanLtah: theres only range, and its correct
[12:58] <Arafangion> Viper12: Another issue I've got is that that mapping the ctrl and caps lock key doesn't work with all programs :(
[12:58] <Viper12> Arafangion: you mean from:  system> preferences> keyboard shortcuts?
[12:59] <Arafangion> Viper12: No, from dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:59] <Arafangion> Viper12: But there's little difference, afaik.
[01:00] <Viper12> Arafangion:  hate to say this, but I'm using logi normal keyboard, and everything I've remapped (for eveonline/cedega specifically) seems to work fine.  So I'm not the 'keyboard guru'.  :(
[01:00] <dlh> can somebody at least tell me where ubuntu stores it's users preferences?
[01:00] <Arafangion> Viper12: I must say, only one application has issues.
[01:01] <Viper12> native linux app?
[01:01] <Arafangion> Viper12: If I remap the ctrl and alt keys, Qemu's console becomes "quirky" (Can't get back into it's normal mode)
[01:01] <Arafangion> Viper12: Which is a native Linux application using SDL for it's graphics.
[01:01] <Viper12> becuase if everything else works just fine with the remap, and only "one" app doesn't, my recommendation would be to check the app's forums to see if there is something buggered up.
[01:02] <Viper12> if multiple apps were screwy, then I'd say its a gnome thing....but it doesn't sound like it.
[01:02] <Arafangion> Viper12: It is, however, the only SDL app I have.
[01:02] <Chopp> Anyone knows what could be the problem when X's PCI Scan isn't finding my video card, but lspci is?
[01:03] <Arafangion> Viper12: Qemu, in particular, is picky about _which_ alt/ctrl keys you use, which makes sense - you have two of each, so grab one pair, and let the guest OS use the other.
[01:04] <Viper12> Arafangion: That sounds like an application quirk rather than a system issue.  I'd still point at the application's forums for info on it.
[01:05] <Arafangion> Viper12: imho, a remapped key should be indistinguiisable.
[01:05] <Viper12> should be and "is"............well those be two very dissimilar animals at times.  ya know?
[01:05] <SneSSiRaM> Hi, I'm new to ubuntu, I just tried installing ies4linux (for webdesign purposes), but the install terminal just dissapeears when extracting the cab files, although cabextracter is installed, anyone experience with this?
[01:05] <Arafangion> Viper12: As far as all applications are aware of, there is absolutely no difference. Heh, sometimes I feel my standards are too high :)
[01:05] <Arafangion> SneSSiRaM: The install terminal disappears?
[01:06] <Arafangion> SneSSiRaM: How are you installing it?
[01:06] <Viper12> They would be no different, if the applications conformed to the window manager, but being that there are multiple managers and multiple ways of doing things, sometimes you'll get apps that do their own thing.
[01:07] <Arafangion> Viper12: Strictly speaking, an "app" shouldn't care which alt key is being used, but the fact of the matter is, sometimes it does make a difference.
[01:07] <SneSSiRaM> yes, I just downloaded ies4linux, extracted it and double clicked the install, the I chose for the terminal wich opened, asked a few y/n questions, and then it starts installing the files. At a given point, the installer needs to extract the cab files and the terminal just closes without notice or something
[01:07] <Viper12> preachin' to the choir Arafangion
[01:07] <Arafangion> SneSSiRaM: Ahh, there ya go.
[01:07] <Arafangion> SneSSiRaM: Bring up a terminal, and type it in yourself.
[01:07] <Moodles`> !password
[01:07] <Arafangion> SneSSiRaM: That way, it has a chance to _ask_ you critical questions, and give you output.
[01:08] <SneSSiRaM> what do you mean by critical questions?
[01:08] <Arafangion> SneSSiRaM: It's not a graphical program.
[01:08] <Arafangion> SneSSiRaM: Find out :)
[01:09] <Arafangion> SneSSiRaM: (For example, it asks you which versions of ie you want to install)
[01:09] <SneSSiRaM> yes it does that, I could chose that, that worked
[01:09] <KenSentMe> I just tried to install vmware-player on Dapper Drake, but i get this error. Does anyone know how to solve it? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22033
[01:10] <Dorraj> fyrestrtr: that music player has frozen :P
[01:10] <Moodles`> I'm currently logged into my ubuntu machine, but i've forgotten the password.. is there anyway I can reset the password, or set a new one?
[01:11] <Arafangion> KenSentMe: Is it an Ubuntu version?
[01:11] <rofl0r> where can i disable the autostart of Gaim and amarok ?
[01:11] <jrib> Moodles`: reboot and choose recovery mode from the grub menu, then use 'passwd user_name_here'
[01:12] <SneSSiRaM> Arafangion: you would suggest me a complete manual install of IE? (and if so, do you know a guide or something to help me)
[01:12] <fourat> rofl0r, System->preferences->sessions
[01:12] <Moodles`> jrib: thanks
[01:12] <rofl0r> fourat, thank
[01:12] <Arafangion> SneSSiRaM: Personally, I run Win98 and WinXP within Qemu + Kqemu
[01:13] <Arafangion> SneSSiRaM: It's a very heavy-handed approach, though.  I can verify that ie4linux works flawlessly on Ubuntu Dapper.
[01:13] <Arafangion> SneSSiRaM: At least, ie 6 installs without any issue whatsoever.
[01:13] <KenSentMe> Arafangion: yes, from the repos
[01:13] <Arafangion> KenSentMe: What repos?
[01:13] <Moodles`> what's the command to go to change the terminal from the current user to root, sudo -i or sudo -l or something, i cant remember
[01:13] <Luna-Tick> Hi guys, I have a headless server here that I want to run a time-consuming task on. I normally talk to it with SSH, but this would mean that I would need to keep my laptop on for as long as the task takes. I was wondering if there was a way to run a command at a particular time or something.
[01:13] <SneSSiRaM> I'm currently running ubuntu in VMware because I'm thinking of (if I get my laptop) switching to ubuntu (however I would need windows for for example video editing, but don't do that SO often)
[01:14] <Arafangion> KenSentMe: I downloaded the latest from the internet. ie4linux is just a script.
[01:14] <Arafangion> SneSSiRaM: I prefer the reverse operation ;)
[01:14] <KenSentMe> Arafangion: this is about vmware
[01:14] <Arafangion> KenSentMe: Oh, I haven't used VMware since the 3.x days.
[01:14] <Arafangion> KenSentMe: I use qemu now.
[01:14] <SneSSiRaM> but when using quemu (used that once on windows), the windows wont see my files on linux I suppose...
[01:14] <tuxtux> ciao
[01:15] <SneSSiRaM> (and the vmware is temporarly to test if I'm ready for a switch :) )
[01:15] <AsadR> is there any graphical front end for configuring GRUB ?
[01:16] <SneSSiRaM> and I tried installing only IE6, but again it didn't work at the cab files extract, I think there is OR a problem with the cab files OR the cab files extractor
[01:17] <mabus> On the ubuntu install cd, what is the difference between install to hard disk and install lamp server
[01:17] <Arafangion> SneSSiRaM: I used the default version of cabextractor that ubuntu has.
[01:17] <Arafangion> SneSSiRaM: apt-get install cabextractor.
[01:17] <Anubuntu> Hello, I just installed windows to dual boot my ubuntu system, however it seems to have overwritted the /boot/ partition with grub in it. Thus I cant boot ubuntu anymore, how do I fix this?
[01:18] <jrib> !grub > Anubuntu
[01:18] <g8m> KenSentMe, check if your kernel version matches the module (uname -r should be 2.6.15-23-386
[01:18] <Anubuntu> jrib, thanks
[01:19] <teleyinex> hi
[01:19] <SneSSiRaM> Arafangion: I installed cabextractor through package manager (I even think it was installed indeed), now I just tried through terminal and it said couldn't find package
[01:19] <teleyinex> could someone help me?
[01:20] <jrib> !ask
[01:20] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:20] <Arafangion> SneSSiRaM: Show me the error please. (Use the pastebin!)
[01:20] <teleyinex> I want to know if its possible to make my gnonme to connect to any open wifi lan that it detects
[01:20] <zlo> I have trauble with my linux. When it's boot i see Li. How solve this trouble?

[01:20] <arag0rn> anybody know a command line tool to convert a *.doc to *.pdf ?
[01:20] <teleyinex> because network-manager is not working for me
[01:20] <Arafangion> zlo: Are you running Ubuntu?
[01:21] <Arafangion> zlo: Impossible.
[01:21] <Arafangion> Sorry, *teleyinex*: Impossible.
[01:21] <teleyinex> ok
[01:21] <teleyinex> so I dont have any option, hehe
[01:21] <teleyinex> np
[01:21] <Luna-Tick> mabus: a lamp server is a Linux, Apache, MySQL PHP server
[01:21] <Arafangion> teleyinex: I have yet to see any solution that does that, actually.
[01:21] <Luna-Tick> so unless you want that, you want to install to hard disk
[01:21] <arag0rn> anybody know a command line tool to convert a *.doc to *.pdf
[01:21] <Arafangion> Luna-Tick: I'm 99.999% sure that it's php *and/or* perl.
[01:22] <teleyinex> i dont know why network manager doesnt recognize my eth1
[01:22] <Arafangion> arag0rn: Just a sec.
[01:22] <arag0rn> Arafangion, ok
[01:22] <Arafangion> arag0rn: Do you have a heap of memory and time?
[01:22] <Luna-Tick> Arafangion: it doesn't really matter, does it
[01:22] <snessubuntu> Arafangion: http://paste-bin.com/222
[01:22] <socketbind> hi guys, for some funny reason scans for nikto on my site takes enourmous time erm any idea why is that?:D
[01:22] <arag0rn> Arafangion, actually not much memory
[01:22] <socketbind> i'm just tighetning up the security :)
[01:23] <Arafangion> arag0rn: Actually, I just realised that my solution converts it to html, not docs.
[01:23] <arag0rn> thats ok
[01:23] <Arafangion> arag0rn: Not pdf's, I mean.
[01:23] <Luna-Tick> In the meantime, I have solve my problem by crawling under the desk... a dirty solution, but it worked. So I'm off - bye.
[01:23] <arag0rn> Arafangion, thats ok
[01:24] <Arafangion> arag0rn: Just a moment, I have to distill it out of my piece-of-crap-300-page-overdesigned-software-engineering-java-project-that-only-works-on-windows.
[01:24] <Arafangion> arag0rn: Lost 4/20 marks just because a half page was the wrong damn font size! (2 sizes too small)
[01:27] <AsadR> Who do i report issues to if Ubuntu's integration with Firestarter has some problems?
[01:27] <snessubuntu> Arafangion: I typed wrong name, cabextact in terminal worked, I got alreaddy installed latest version
[01:28] <snessubuntu> (snessubuntu = SneSSiRaM btw)
[01:28] <socketbind> bye, have fun :)

[01:31] <arag0rn> ok
[01:31] <KenSentMe> g8m: (sorry for the late reply). I have a different kernel version. Should i install another version of the module?
[01:33] <pluffsy> is it possible to use scp to upload a local file (and not define user,pw or server on the local part) to a remote server? or should I use some other call?
[01:33] <KenSentMe> g8m: hmm i see there are no kernel modules of vmware player for my kernel (2.6.15-26-686

[01:35] <snessubuntu> Arafangion: it might be needed to say, when starting the IE install, first thing it says is: "IEs4Linux 2.0 is developed to be used with recent Wine versions (0.9.x). It seems that you are using an old version (). It's recommended that you update your wine to the latest version (Go to: winehq.com)." (I have wine 0.9.9 installed)

[01:43] <philo23> ubuntu just as kernel boots to install, when it hits 100% just reboots my pc any ideas?
[01:44] <Arafangion> arag0rn: That was mostly the documentation!
[01:44] <gnomefreak> mikeconcepts: yes i dont remember the commands for it please see !freenode  atleast as i remember it its a server thing
[01:44] <gnomefreak> mikeconcepts: also /help might show you
[01:45] <mikeconcepts> thank you, I will report back if I find it
[01:45] <mikeconcepts> !freenode
[01:45] <ubotu> freenode is the IRC network that you're on! See http://freenode.net/faq.shtml
[01:48] <arag0rn> Arafangion, thats always the case, documentation is much more than the code for a software engg project :-)
[01:49] <Arafangion> arag0rn: Still, 300 damn pages?
[01:49] <lemat> salut
[01:49] <mabus> I tried apt-get install fluxbox... the package does not exist?
[01:49] <Arafangion> arag0rn: For a freaking website generator! (Makes a table of contents)
[01:49] <lemat> that true?
[01:49] <mesut> anyone installed XGL on ubuntu-ppc (on a macmini with radeon9200) ?
[01:50] <goldfish_> quick question: is there any way of restoring the files in /etc/apache2 - they've all been deleted for some reason
[01:50] <mabus> !multiverse
[01:50] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[01:51] <pluffsy> btw does rsync need a server to work, or is shell access enough? the man pages say something about rsync server, but I'm quite sure my friend that runs rsync just has a shell access. I might be wrong though.
[01:51] <philo23> ubuntu restarts my pc when i go to install it, on both text and live cd, as soon as the kernel boots it simplly restarts my pc
[01:54] <mabus> !easysource
[01:54] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[01:55] <neutrinomass> philo23: That's a bug in the kernel probably and should be reported as such :-/ Does it happen with other Linux distributions as well ?
[01:55] <philo23> seems to
[01:56] <philo23> this pc some how never boots kernel so i can never install any linux distros
[01:56] <neutrinomass> philo23: Oh man, I feel sorry for you :( It would be great if you reported this ...
[01:56] <philo23> luckily i have a another and that works but it doesnt detect any internet connection, i detects the ethernet card but not the DHCP connection or any thing coming over the cable
[01:56] <Skyrail> philo23 :O
[01:57] <neutrinomass> philo23: Probabl the LKML is a more appropriate place than launchpad ...
[01:57] <philo23> sure just point me to a page and i'll d oit
[01:57] <philo23> do it*
[01:58] <PDani> hi
[01:58] <PDani> i have a 3com router. in the features they write: "Virtual private network (VPN) pass-through and initiation/termination of two VPN tunnels support provide secure connections to remote users or sites". so is this means, that this router is able to join to a vpn, but it can't serve vpn-clients?
[01:58] <neutrinomass> philo23: http://www.tux.org/lkml/#s3-1 Take a look at this
[01:59] <neutrinomass> philo23: Keep in mind that the LKML is a really hardcore place - that's where all development gets done. Before discussing your problem there, try to collect some more information
[01:59] <philo23> well before i jump into that is there any way you could help me with my old machine?
[02:00] <neutrinomass> philo23: The old machine is the one that doesn't boot at all ?
[02:00] <philo23> it boots but the internet doesnt work
[02:00] <philo23> this one i'm on doesnt boot to install
[02:00] <neutrinomass> philo23: All I can suggest is trying to boot with the kernel command line options "noapic" and "acpi=off"
[02:00] <philo23> ok i'll try
[02:01] <philo23> thanks for the help
[02:01] <neutrinomass> philo23: OK. How do you connect to the internet ?
[02:01] <philo23> broadband internet
[02:01] <neutrinomass> philo23: The above was intended for the unbootable machine ....
[02:01] <neutrinomass> philo23: DSL ?
[02:01] <philo23> yeah
[02:01] <app> On which IRC networks is the Ubuntu channel? On these freenode.net servers only?
[02:01] <neutrinomass> philo23: A USB adsl modem ?
[02:01] <philo23> no ethernet
[02:01] <neutrinomass> app: Yes, but there are plenty of them :-)
[02:01] <philo23> it finds the ethernet port but doesnt connect any internet connection
[02:02] <philo23> connect = detect
[02:02] <neutrinomass> philo23: Weird.... what's the problem ?
[02:02] <mtholdenss> http://youtube.com/watch?v=o3v-uwSeuBs
[02:02] <philo23> i've tried ifconfig but it looks like all the packets get sent but nothing returns ether, i've also noticed that no ip address is given
[02:02] <hdkiller> hello
[02:02] <mabus> How come I just installed fluxbox but I can't install it? Do I have to install xserver first? I thought any required packages would have been brought in.
[02:03] <neutrinomass> Well it's not supposed to detect the modem, but your network card ..
[02:03] <hdkiller> Can i resize ntfs partition during ubuntu install?
[02:03] <philo23> it find my network card
[02:03] <neutrinomass> philo23: OK. Is the modem configured to use DHCP ?
[02:03] <philo23> but not my internet connection it self
[02:03] <philo23> yeah thats the problem becuase it cant find the net the DHCP settings dont get sent...
[02:04] <philo23> its not wireless just simple ethernet cable
[02:04] <neutrinomass> philo23: So basically the problem is that System->Administration->Networking lists the card, but when you activate it you never get an IP address ?
[02:04] <philo23> yeah
[02:04] <neutrinomass> philo23: I take it that the green light on your card and on the modem lights up, right ?
[02:04] <philo23> or any connection
[02:04] <philo23> yeah
[02:05] <philo23> it also goes orange suggesting something being sent
[02:05] <tuxtux> reboot
[02:05] <neutrinomass> philo23: What's the output of 'lspci | grep Ethernet' ?
[02:05] <philo23> one moment
[02:05] <philo23> brb
[02:05] <kakahn> when i will install wine for amd64 after wincfg , i  obtain an error : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22141
[02:05] <kakahn> please help me
[02:07] <mabus> I just installed xserver and fluxbox
[02:07] <mabus> how do I start them
[02:07] <mabus> startx like gentoo does not work
[02:09] <nikin> mabus /etc/initd/gdm start     maybe
[02:09] <nikin> init.d   sworry
[02:10] <philo23> its displaying my two ethernet cards, the onboard and pci ethernet card
[02:10] <hdkiller> Nah, i have a notebook with one ntfs partition, how can i resize the ntfs the most easier 'free' way?
[02:10] <mabus> nikin: nope, I don't even have gdm installed
[02:10] <mikeconcepts> How do I turn on Conference mode where I will not see join or part messages?
[02:10] <mikeconcepts>  Right-click on the tab you want to change. In the submenu of the channel name, there's a toggle-item "Show join/part messages", simply turn this off
[02:11] <mabus> nikin: and init.d doesn't contain anything else x related except x11-common, starting it doesn't allow me to start flux
[02:11] <Jeruvy> hdkiller: your sol
[02:12] <neutrinomass> philo23: Have you tried disabling the onboard card from the BIOS and using the pci ?
[02:12] <LOLZebra> sup
[02:12] <philo23> neutrinomass: yes, still the same problem and i've tried it the other way around too
[02:13] <neutrinomass> philo23: weird :-/ I was suspecting it was a driver issue (I had the exact same problem months ago and it turned out to be the driver)
[02:14] <philo23> neutrinomass: what did you do to fix it?
[02:14] <LOLZebra> no
[02:15] <neutrinomass> philo23: Googled for 10 hours : The problem was that both the 'dmfe' and the 'tulip' driver were trying to get to my NIC. The 'tilip' _claimed_ that it could drive it, but couldn't and the 'dmfe' which was the real driver could never pick up the device because the 'tulip' driver had already done so
[02:15] <neutrinomass> philo23: That's why I asked for your 'lspci' output
[02:16] <philo23> and if that was my problem then it wouldnt display my ethernet cards right?
[02:16] <neutrinomass> Nope, it would :-)
[02:17] <neutrinomass> philo23: I'm taking that this is no a router configuration issue - you can use DHCP fine from windows, right ?
[02:17] <neutrinomass> philo23: Pastebin /etc/network/interfaces please ..
[02:17] <neutrinomass> !pastebin
[02:17] <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)
[02:17] <philo23> neutrinomass: no routerand windows picks up DHCP everytimre
[02:17] <philo23> one second
[02:18] <neutrinomass> philo23: modem/router/whatever ....
[02:18] <philo23> no just my modem sitting there

[02:20] <ubuntu> hello
[02:21] <ubuntu> how do i get info about my linux?
[02:21] <neutrinomass> ubuntu: What sort of information ... ?
[02:21] <ubuntu> i mean i need to do apt-get install linux-k7, but instead of k7 i have amd64 processor.. it sk8 :)
[02:21] <ubuntu> its k8*
[02:22] <ubuntu> do you get me?
[02:22] <neutrinomass> Not really - I'm not sure with what kernels you need for amd64 ...
[02:22] <ubuntu> hm
[02:22] <realist> ubuntu: man uname
[02:22] <ubuntu> how could i get info about my current kernels?
[02:22] <ubuntu> oh
[02:22] <void^> k7 is fine if you use 32bit
[02:22] <ubuntu> tryign
[02:22] <ubuntu> i want 64bit :)
[02:23] <mititelu> hey, how can i use 5.1 sound in linux (something like nvmixer for windows)
[02:23] <realist> ubuntu: "uname -r" specifically
[02:23] <cafuego> On a desktop box? Just don't.
[02:23] <ubuntu> ok thanks :)
[02:24] <mabus> So can anyone tell me how to start fluxbox?
[02:24] <Andy> ndiswrapper doesn't like my .inf file what should I do?
[02:24] <Shpongle> Hey guys, if I have a 64bit intel, do I need to download the 64bit desktop version
[02:25] <philo23> neutrinomass: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/d22142
[02:25] <mititelu> hey, how can i use 5.1 sound in linux (something like nvmixer for windows)
[02:25] <RichEd> dictonary question: trying again anyone ... what file keep words added to the user dictionary ?
[02:25] <Shpongle> or should I use the PC (Intel x86) desktop CD
[02:25] <mititelu> Shpongle, you can use either the 32 bit or the 64 bit, same thing
[02:25] <Shpongle> does it make any diff?
[02:25] <mititelu> 64 bit is not as supported as 32 bit
[02:26] <mititelu> not really, i have AMD64
[02:26] <mititelu> works a bit faster
[02:26] <Shpongle> ah okay :>
[02:26] <mititelu> but that's all
[02:26] <Shpongle> ty
[02:26] <mititelu> np
[02:27] <cafuego> On stuff like openoffice, it's actually a bit slower.
[02:28] <neutrinomass> philo23: Looks ok... do "sudo ifconfig down eth0" and then "sudo ifconfig up eth0" ... what error does the latter give ?
[02:28] <philo23> ok one sec
[02:28] <kakahn> where can i find stdc++.so* ?

[02:29] <mititelu> Does anyone have experience with using 5.1 or 7.1 sound cards under Linux ???
[02:30] <cafuego> kakahn: in the libstdc++ packages
[02:31] <kakahn> ty
[02:31] <neutrinomass> Nameeater: sudo grub-install ?

[03:08] <stelki> Any of you people know a good broadcasting tool, for casting to shoutcast? A bit more advanced than the plugin for xmms would be leet
[03:08] <Linuturk_code> NET||abuse, under System > Preferences > Windows I believe
[03:09] <freight> where is the network with the spammers?
[03:09] <Linuturk_code> NET||abuse, select "Shade" as the action on double click
[03:09] <kris> stelki: icecast?
[03:09] <NET||abuse> ahh, so have to loose double click to maximise option then
[03:09] <NET||abuse> i suppose
[03:09] <looktj> im so tired
[03:09] <jrib> NET||abuse, Linuturk_code: it's actually called "roll up" in the dialog, but I've always known it as shade too
[03:09] <Linuturk_code> NET||abuse, yes, you do, but that button on the bar still maximizes
[03:10] <NET||abuse> yeh,
[03:10] <NET||abuse> that'll do find actually, suits me
[03:11] <stelki> kris: what part if shoutcast is so hard to understand?

[03:24] <DJAdmiral> hey people!
[03:24] <fleetreo> what's the channel for edgy?
[03:24] <mabus> So can anybody help me to get fluxbox started on my ubuntu server box?
[03:24] <Linuturk_code> #ubuntu+1
[03:24] <longwave> fleetreo: #ubuntu+1
[03:24] <rambo3> Laibsch, try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade or sudo apt-get -f install
[03:25] <fleetreo> thanks
[03:25] <longwave> Laibsch: this is a known problem with mldonkey
[03:25] <DJAdmiral> what was the name of the canonical employee here?
[03:25] <DJAdmiral> his user name began with m
[03:25] <longwave> Laibsch: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/mldonkey/+bug/42632 has a workaround involving editing /etc/init.d/mldonkey that may help
[03:25] <Laibsch> longwave: It is not in the bugtracker.
[03:25] <Laibsch> longwave: Oh, it appears I did not look closely enough.
[03:26] <ubuntu> hello again :)
[03:26] <DJAdmiral> hello ubuntu
[03:26] <Linuturk_code> ubuntu, i'm suprised that nick isn't taken
[03:26] <longwave> Laibsch: i am not sure this is the exact problem you are seeing, but it may help mldonkey run correctly so it can then be uninstalled
[03:26] <ubuntu> is there any mirrors (i.e. in my country) where i could point apt-get ?
[03:26] <ubuntu> or is there only the official ones?
[03:26] <DJAdmiral> can somebody please help?
[03:26] <longwave> ubuntu: http://lt.archive.ubuntu.com/ exists, did you try that?
[03:27] <ubuntu> no thanks :)
[03:27] <DJAdmiral> some guy's name here began with M
[03:27] <ubuntu> will try
[03:27] <DJAdmiral> he works for canonical
[03:27] <Linuturk_code> DJAdmiral, there are lots of people that begin with the letter m

[03:27] <DJAdmiral> he finally made my video card wor

[03:33] <shawnr_> can anyone help with this error?   (anjuta:6445): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_hide: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed
[03:34] <kitche> shawnr_ that's a gtk warning not really an error alot of gtk apps do it
[03:34] <shawnr_> kitche, but it crashes the app
[03:35] <fleetreo> I'm getting an error that nautalis won't start due to bonobo activation server
[03:35] <fleetreo> I'm confused

[03:35] <fleetreo> any ideas?
[03:35] <hdkiller> my face got beaten by a drunk angry woman who had problems with gravity.. weddings are dangerous x_X..  she was a windows user, now using ubuntu, and gives me hugs and kisses. thanks guys a LOT!

[03:40] <DJAdmiral> mabus: short simple instructions
[03:40] <|_SpY_|> somebody know where i can get a net-install iso of ubuntu?

[03:41] <mabus> DJAdmiral: um, yeah... thanks for the try
[03:41] <mabus> but first of all it's apt-get install fluxbox
[03:41] <kishore>  can i  add Canonical Commercial Repositories
[03:41] <mabus> and secondly it's more complex than that
[03:41] <DJAdmiral> mabus: oh well. worth a shot
[03:41] <XplOzIon> davin, yes there in, in Login Manager i believe
[03:41] <rambo3> mabus, you need x core
[03:42] <davin> ahI found it
[03:42] <kishore> erUSUL, can i add canonical commercial updates also..
[03:42] <davin> cheers
[03:42] <mabus> rambo3: I have xserver and xdm
[03:42] <goki-> Is anyone else having problems with Dapper stability? I've had one machine lose X completely, another now refuses to run any Gnome application, and on this one, firefox crashes regularly opening pages
[03:42] <rambo3> mabus, are you on gui now?
[03:42] <mabus> rambo3: I'm on a windows box right next to it.
[03:42] <goki-> goki-, I've not seen any problems on the PC's themselves, running breezy
[03:43] <mabus> rambo3: I'm on my ubuntu box via putty
[03:43] <|_SpY_|> somebody know where i can get a net-install iso of ubuntu?
[03:43] <rambo3> mabus go to ubuntu wiki see topic and type fluxbox
[03:43] <mabus> rambo3: It's multiplied by the fact I have a radeon
[03:44] <mabus> And the tutorials for both are not including me in the target audience
[03:44] <mabus> I'm using the server cd so I can't install one of the packages they say to for the ati tut, and I'm using xdm so I cant use the fluxbox tut.
[03:44] <XplOzIon> i3d: have installed pure-ftpd-mysql i would like to know wheres the pure-ftpd.conf, i found the conf for the DB, still need to make some changes to main conf file but i cant find it. Thanks
[03:44] <mabus> (rather than gdm)
[03:44] <|_SpY_|> somebody know where i can get a net-install iso of ubuntu?
[03:44] <XplOzIon> have installed pure-ftpd-mysql i would like to know wheres the pure-ftpd.conf, i found the conf for the DB, still need to make some changes to main conf file but i cant find it. Thanks
[03:45] <mabus> Although I'm contemplating just restarting, and using gdm instead.
[03:45] <rambo3> mabus, what a hell are you talking about
[03:45] <mabus> rambo3: What specifically do you mean?
[03:46] <mabus> tut == tutorial
[03:46] <|_SpY_|> somebody know where i can get a net-install iso of ubuntu?
[03:46] <mabus> Other than that I was pretty straightforward.
[03:46] <rambo3> what does radeon have to do with fluxbox
[03:46] <mabus> rambo3: Gives me errors with X.
[03:46] <mabus> ANd I'm not sure what is causing what.
[03:47] <mabus> I actually did start a new lamp server install, should be done it in a few minutes.
[03:47] <mabus> Just to undo what I did last install
[03:47] <rambo3> mabus change it to vesa  or ati  (well ati is just a pack of drivers like radeon) . cant you grep EE from xorg.log
[03:47] <erUSUL> kishore: i haven't added comercial repos myself... so i do not know de adresses but you can add them if you oike
[03:47] <erUSUL> kishore: i haven't added comercial repos myself... so i do not know de adresses but you can add them if you like
[03:48] <hdkiller> there is a package what provide a total commander like environment for gnome?
[03:48] <kishore> erUSUL, ok
[03:48] <rambo3> mabus, and fluxbox wont start until you edit some files . it will bring down x
[03:48] <XplOzIon> i3d: have installed pure-ftpd-mysql i would like to know wheres the pure-ftpd.conf, i found the conf for the DB, still need to make some changes to main conf file but i cant find it. Thanks

[03:48] <Kabal> 		What can I do to remove this app? I can't install or remove an other app right now

[03:51] <Wermut> What is the easiest way to have a (backup) script executed once a week?
[03:51] <erUSUL> Wermut: cron
[03:51] <k31th> ok umm when i send a mail the server the other end pics the mail up on port 25 right ?
[03:52] <erUSUL> k31th: right, it should

[03:52] <rambo3> as normal user
[03:52] <goki-> Anyone know what would cause all gnome apps to fail to start? They display the window, and some grey boxes abour where the widgets should be, then just hang
[03:52] <goki-> Some kind of GTK thing?
[03:53] <jujimufu> I need help connecting my nokia 6230i via bluetooth to my PC

[03:53] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[03:53] <goki-> erUSUL, yup, they just hang
[03:54] <erUSUL> goki-: no error msg?
[03:54] <goki-> erUSUL, nope
[03:54] <goki-> erUSUL, it's any gnome app, maybe any GTK app, I haven't tried yet
[03:54] <Kabal> erUSUL: this will result in same error..
[03:54] <goki-> My dapper installations just seem to regularly kill themselves
[03:54] <mabus> rambo3: thanks, I'll try it
[03:55] <gnomefreak> goki-: please check and see you have ubuntu-desktop package installed. and how much ram do you have and how big a swap partition?

[03:56] <goki-> gnomefreak, I will check taht when I get back home, will you be around in about 5 hours?
[03:56] <Dimensions> sorry for long messages ....
[03:56] <Dimensions> i thought will go into one single line
[03:56] <gnomefreak> goki-: depends on the storms here but should be
[03:56] <goki-> gnomefreak, 256MB RAM, 600MB swap, and default packages installed so I'm pretty sure ubuntu-desktop is
[03:56] <goki-> gnomefreak, but that's just from memory :)
[03:57] <goki-> gnomefreak, ah cool I will get back to you later if I can, thanks
[03:57] <longwave> Dimensions: that is fine, /var/log/messages is not used for anything important by default. there are other log files in /var/log that should contain more useful logged information
[03:57] <gnomefreak> goki-: this is on dapper?
[03:57] <gnomefreak> goki-: do you have kde installed also?
[03:57] <goki-> gnomefreak, yup, new install from recently download 6.06, I think the iso is 6.06.1
[03:57] <Dimensions> longwave: like which one i can check like for what time it was shutdown or rebooted or any thing happened ??
[03:57] <Wermut> erUSUL: As i figure it, all I have to do is to place a symlink to my script in /etc/cron.weekly?
[03:58] <erUSUL> Dimensions: everything is fine every 20 minutes a mark line is printed i there is nothing better to print
[03:58] <goki-> gnomefreak, no KDE, the thing I installed just before breakage was azureus, which I just unzipped from their linux archive and ran
[03:58] <goki-> gnomefreak, as a normal user, not root
[03:58] <iturk> rambo3: thanks
[03:58] <gnomefreak> goki-: you have java installed correctly?
[03:58] <erUSUL> Wermut: more or less yes.
[03:58] <longwave> Dimensions: /var/log/kern.log, /var/log/daemon.log and /var/log/syslog are worth looking at for that sort of thing
[03:58] <goki-> gnomefreak, yep I installed it from the ubuntu sun package, then updated alternatives for java to the sun one
[03:58] <yojimbo-san> I'd like to be able to keep two conflicting packages installed (they don't have any files in common); but although dpkg --force-conflicts has installed one of them, subsequent aptitude runs want to remove one of them. How do I get to keep both? Something to do with Pinning, but what?
[03:58] <Wermut> erUSUL: And if want to have it user-specific?
[03:59] <goki-> gnomefreak, azureus itself runs fine, oddly enough
[03:59] <goki-> gnomefreak, ah excellent
[03:59] <erUSUL> Wermut: man crontab
[03:59] <ryanpg> hi... If I wanted to get started designing a database (lesson planing/gradebook) and I wanted to use GTK2 yet still keep open the possibility of moving to a web interface... what tools would I use?
[03:59] <goki-> gnomefreak, after it broke, I installed fluxbox, I've been using that with xterm to get stuff done
[03:59] <MetaMorfoziS> !firefox
[03:59] <ubotu> firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins

[03:59] <mowgli> hello all! novice Linux user here! I've been fighting for the last 2 days to get Ubuntu find my SAGEM FAST 800 with eagle-usb driver. today i did clean reinstall of Ubuntu (Dapper) from an Alternate ISO and installed all needed dependencies for eagle-usb-data, eagle-usb-utils and eagle-usb-modules-source with 'sudo aptitude', plus build-essential and linux-headers. after installing the first...
[03:59] <mowgli> ...2 .deb files I tried to build the modules with 'sudo module-assistant', as indicated in the README.Debian file. But that gave me a report with at least these 2 errors: 'libxslt-proc missing' and 'eagle-usb driver already installed; do a make uninstall'. is that a bug (all dependencies were correct!)? and how can I find this supposedly installed driver in the system??
[03:59] <gnomefreak> goki-: and all the apps are ok?
[04:00] <erUSUL> !eagle
[04:00] <ubotu> eagle: Printed circuit board design tool. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 4.11-8ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 2700 kB, installed size 6592 kB
[04:00] <goki-> gnomefreak, anything taht doesn't use gnome seems ok
[04:00] <DrFinn> Problem: on a mounted fat32 drive I have a folder containing movies and a folder containing music.. why don't I have read/write rights to these folders?
[04:00] <goki-> gnomefreak, so gterm (or whatever it's called) doesn't work, but xterm, azureus, firefox all work
[04:01] <gnomefreak> goki-: you will be happy to know i dotn think its a GTK issue :)
[04:01] <earthian> what looks better (with or w/o any possible changes) KDE or GNOME desktops?
[04:01] <C-O-L-T> can I get somewhere an ubuntu install guide with screenshots?
[04:01] <goki-> gnomefreak, yup I was just thinking that since SWT azureus and firefox are ok :)
[04:01] <mabus> earthian: matter of prefernece
[04:01] <erUSUL> mowgli: in the wiki you can find detailed instructions....
[04:01] <earthian> hm
[04:01] <Laibsch> longwave: seems to have worked.  Thanks.
[04:01] <earthian> i would like to make VISTA like view
[04:02] <mowgli> erUSUL: url or domain for search, pls?
[04:02] <goki-> gnomefreak, it just went halfway through a session - I thought that maybe it was just nautilus being its usual self, when it wouldn't display a directory, so I logged out to see if that fixed it, and couldn't log back into gnome session
[04:02] <DrFinn> how do I set read/write permissions to certain folders ?
[04:02] <erUSUL> mowgli: i'm searching now but today the wiki is painfully slow
[04:02] <gnomefreak> goki-: i am thinking its something running in background (more than likely azureus) using your ram/swap and it doesnt have enough to draw the wondows
[04:02] <goki-> gnomefreak, gnome session just freezes on background, presumably when it loads panelor something
[04:02] <earthian> !chmod
[04:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about chmod - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:02] <earthian> :o
[04:03] <nickspoon> *gasp*
[04:03] <mansu> hi all
[04:03] <goki-> gnomefreak, could be, I'll have a look when I get back :)
[04:03] <mejde> Any work being done on getting the broadcom 43xx firmware included? I.e. is it even possible, what's the license, know of any talks going on between Canonical and Broadcom... etc...
[04:03] <gnomefreak> goki-: gnaome loads things in background. (heavy load) flux doesnt (light load)
[04:03] <earthian> erUSUL: try chmod -h
[04:03] <erUSUL> earthian: ???
[04:03] <gnomefreak> gnome*
[04:03] <earthian> in terminal
[04:03] <goki-> gnomefreak, yup that's true, but I would have thought 256MB would be ok :(
[04:04] <mansu> how can i remove the drawing rectangles thing while minimisng the window? its making my work slower...
[04:04] <earthian> eg. chmod 777 /somedir would set permission to write/read/exec for /somedir
[04:04] <gnomefreak> im thinking its azureus (willing to bet you remove --purge that and all will be fine) :)
[04:04] <erUSUL> mowgli: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsbAdslModem/EagleUsb
[04:04] <DrFinn> how do I set read/write permissions to certain folders ?
[04:04] <earthian> eg. chmod 444 /somedir would set permission to read for /somedir
[04:04] <Samuli^> earthian, that would give all permissions to everyone. I don't think that's advisable.
[04:05] <erUSUL> DrFinn: read what earthian has been saying to me ;)
[04:05] <earthian> well 700 then
[04:05] <earthian> or 400
[04:05] <rambo3> DrFinn,  youse chown
[04:05] <Samuli^> DrFinn, one thing you could do is start nautilus as sudo and use it's gui.
[04:05] <Samuli^> DrFinn, start nautilus as root that is.
[04:06] <earthian> p.s. all that messages were directed to DrFinn :O
[04:06] <DrFinn> how do I launch nautilus as root
[04:06] <DrFinn> ?
[04:06] <earthian> DrFinn: use sudo
[04:06] <earthian> !sudo
[04:06] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[04:06] <Samuli^> DrFinn, alt+f2 -> gksudo nautilus
[04:06] <DrFinn> sudo nautilus ?>
[04:07] <Samuli^> DrFinn, but use it carefully ;)
[04:08] <mowgli> erUSUL: thx!!

[04:08] <DrFinn> I set the permissions ..will changes be permanent or untill next reboot?
[04:08] <gotama> Is there any howtos?
[04:08] <earthian> DrFinn: permanent
[04:08] <maxblack> just use adpet right?
[04:09] <DrFinn> thank you
[04:09] <maxblack> ... to install all the java runtime
[04:09] <erUSUL> mowgli: no problem. i'm sure you read it but note that you must follow the instruucions of the section installing from source
[04:09] <earthian> permissions are saved in your hdd filesystem
[04:09] <earthian> or so?
[04:10] <Wermut> erUSUL: So, if I edit my personal crontab file; does cron take care when my machine is down at the specified times (or do I have to configure anacron)?
[04:10] <mowgli> erUSUL: packages.ubuntu.com also offers a .deb file called 'eagle-usb-modules-source', which is the one I tried to build with 'module-assistant'. Is that file that the wiki calls 'broken'? is the gna.org source better?
[04:10] <earthian> \o/ 95% of my ubuntu stuff downloaded onto my raid partitions
[04:11] <erUSUL> Wermut: i'm not an expert in cron myself... you will have to investigate this yourself sorry :(
[04:11] <erUSUL> mowgli: i supose bu i have not read the wiki hold on a moment...
[04:12] <mowgli> erUSUL: at paragraph 'Installing from source'
[04:12] <longwave> Wermut: standard cron assumes the system is up at all times, missed events will not be run; this is what anacron is for.
[04:12] <Wermut> longwave: And anacron can't be configured on a per-user basis?
[04:13] <longwave> Wermut: not that i can see, unfortunately
[04:14] <erUSUL> mowgli: yes do what the wiki says dl the sourcecode from gna.org and build it. before just do 'sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)'
[04:15] <mabus> What do people reccomend for an IMAPS client for somebody new to the protocol?
[04:15] <smi13y> TimeSaver project needs testers. If you are interested check here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=225551 Thank you for help.
[04:16] <MarcN> mabus: evolution and thunderbird are nice imap clients
[04:16] <mabus> secure imap, though?
[04:16] <rambo3> nema problema
[04:16] <bkuri> hello all
[04:16] <mabus> and I was hoping for something light weight, maybe even text based, but that is not essential
[04:17] <erUSUL> mabus: mutt ??
[04:17] <longwave> mabus: mutt is a console-based email client that supports IMAPS
[04:17] <mabus> erUSUL: Yeah, I installed that... but it gave me the impression it's designed for reading from your own mail server?
[04:17] <smi13y> rambo3: odkuda si?
[04:17] <tdn> What do I do when I get this error: Failed to fetch http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libt/libtheora/libtheora0_0.0.0.alpha7-1ubuntu1~dapper1_i386.deb  404 Not Found
[04:17] <longwave> mabus: well, you mentioned IMAPS, that's your mail server isn't it?
[04:18] <brk3> i have a dual core centrino processor, which kernel should I use to make use of both processors?
[04:18] <mabus> No, my IMAPS mail is on the same system as I am irssiing from.
[04:19] <longwave> mabus: yeah, but just configure mutt to point to your IMAPS server, that should work
[04:19] <erUSUL> mabus: http://www.employees.org/docs/SSL-Howto-Mutt
[04:19] <mabus> Thanks erUSUL and longwave
[04:19] <gotama> Has anyone succeeded in installing java runtime enviroment?
[04:19] <erUSUL> gotama: yes
[04:19] <jrib> gotama: many people
[04:19] <Samuli^> gotama, hehe. yes :)
[04:19] <jrib> !java > gotama
[04:20] <gotama> How to install it? Where to read?
[04:20] <erUSUL> !info  sun-j2re1.5
[04:20] <gotama> Why firefox can't use it?
[04:20] <jrib> gotama: ubotu should have sent you some info in a private message
[04:20] <erUSUL> !info sun-j2re1.5
[04:20] <bkuri> I was wondering if someone could help me in getting my graphics card to recognize my monitor's native resolution (1680x1050), since it doesn't appear in System Prefs>Screen Resolution
[04:21] <gotama> I just see it. Thanks.
[04:21] <bkuri> (i'm a complete linux n00b, BTW)
[04:21] <Wermut> longwave: Seems that you are right; this is awful...
[04:21] <Mikey> Hello, if I install the latest ubuntu, how easy is it to downgrade my kernel (without an internet connection to ubuntu)?
[04:22] <rambo3> tsaver: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[04:22] <sexcopter8000m> bkuri, do you know what resolution you're in now?
[04:22] <sexcopter8000m> bkuri, and what graphics card you have?
[04:22] <bkuri> sexcopter8000m: i'm currently @ 1280 x 1024
[04:23] <noureddine> hi guys, i have a small question, i have ubuntu installed and updated at work, can i take an image of that and install it at home which wil iclude al the updates,,thank you for any help
[04:23] <mowgli> erUSUL: 2 questions: should I first try to uninstall the eagle-usb driver that 'module-assistant' found? how do i do that? and: WinRAR asks me if I want to replace the file 'eagle-usb-2.3.3\utils\scripts\common.pm', which means there are 2 files with the same name in the tarball. could that be a bug or a security risk?
[04:23] <AustLaw> when I go to package manager, and select to remove ekiga it lists that its remving ubuntu-desktop?
[04:23] <shawnr_> thats fine
[04:23] <Nelio> bonjour les gens :)
[04:23] <mowgli> erUSUL: winRAR during extraction, of course...
[04:23] <Nelio> quelqu'un aurait il deja remasteriser une ubuntu ici ?
[04:23] <sexcopter8000m> bkuri, ok, and what graphics card do you have?
[04:23] <Nelio> oups english channel
[04:23] <Nelio> sorry
[04:24] <AustLaw> does it mean I cannot uninstall ekiga?
[04:24] <AstralJava> AustLaw: That's because ubuntu-desktop depends on ekiga.
[04:24] <justice> hi I am having a problem getting the  universe packages it satlls at 56% I'm from canada if that makes a diffrence?
[04:24] <AustLaw> hmm why would ubuntu-desktop depend on such a program?
[04:24] <Cyberai> has anyone here had any luck getting xgl/compiz running? I have everything set up according to http://chromakode.blogsome.com/2006/02/16/howto-compiz-xgl-on-ubuntu-for-the-morbidly-lazy-2. But when I log in, I just get my normal gnome desktop.
[04:24] <mabus> Okay I'm trying to configure evolution, but when I get to the part about sending email, I am unsure.
[04:25] <noureddine> justice: did u update ubuntu and u didn't restart ur box ?
[04:25] <AstralJava> AustLaw: Don't know the reason, but you can always reinstall ubuntu-desktop later on if you need it. Maybe just before dist-upgrading.
[04:25] <erUSUL> mowgli: i do not think so... regarding the rar... in the wiki they point to a tar.bz2 not to a rar file http://download.gna.org/eagleusb/eagle-usb-2.3.0/eagle-usb-2.3.3.tar.bz2
[04:25] <mabus> How do I send from another mail server?
[04:25] <ranpha> two question i have a pcmia firewire card and a CF adapter...none of them work....can somebody point my in the right direction to get everthing working?
[04:25] <justice> have not updated it yet just installed
[04:25] <bkuri> sexcopter8000m: Device Manager says: "Intel  82865G Integrated Graphics Controller"
[04:25] <mabus> From an address that is not my machine, but a remote address?
[04:25] <frogzoo> Cyberai: this worked for me: http://www.tectonic.co.za/view.php?id=916
[04:26] <Dimensions> Thanks  guys for your help
[04:26] <noureddine> justice: try to update it..
[04:26] <AstralJava> mabus: Usually you have an account on another email server, an smtp server perhaps, no?
[04:26] <AustLaw> what is "ubuntu-desktop" exactly?
[04:26] <Cyberai> thanks frogzoo
[04:26] <mowgli> erUSUL: WinRAR can handle both bz2 and tar files (i'm on WinXP right now...), that's why i was using it to test and extract the files. shouldn't i?
[04:26] <erUSUL> AustLaw: a meta-package
[04:26] <sexcopter8000m> bkuri, hmmm, ok i'm not really an expert... are you sure your screen supports 1680?
[04:26] <noureddine> justice: or wait for sometime and try later make some problem with the repositories.
[04:26] <Cyberai> frogzoo, that's the same instructions as the one I found. Hmmmmm
[04:26] <AstralJava> AustLaw: It's a meta-package, listing packages that it depends on -> will be installed if you install this meta-package.
[04:26] <valehru> Hey guys, I've got over 3 GB of RAM In my system, but I can't help feel that ubuntu and gnome are a bit sluggish.
[04:26] <Cyberai> frogzoo, whats your hardware?
[04:26] <sanityx> Hey guys, on my box I've got an Ubuntu/Windows dual boot. My windows install is all messed up so I need to reinstall. However once I reinstall windows, it will overwrite my MBR, and Ubuntu will become inaccessible. Is there anything I can do to then boot up into Ubuntu and rewrite the MBR for a proper dual boot?
[04:27] <valehru> Is there any suggestions you have to speed things up?
[04:27] <mabus> AstralJava: no, I usually use gmail for sending email... would I likely have a smtp account that came with this shell and not know about it, similar to the imaps?
[04:27] <justice> thanks, I'm updateing now hopefult that helps
[04:27] <AustLaw> I dont know what a meta-package is, just a package of misc applications?
[04:27] <sara> i am having some problems with a program...is anyone know about GTK-Gnutella?
[04:27] <erUSUL> mowgli: maybe winrar got confused somehow... i don't know
[04:27] <valehru> i.e increase virtual mem or paging etc?
[04:27] <shawnr_> dpkg: error processing jedit (--remove):
[04:27] <shawnr_>  Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
[04:27] <shawnr_>  reinstall it before attempting a removal.
[04:27] <bkuri> sexcopter8000m: I'm sure my monitor does; not sure about the graphics card driver
[04:27] <shawnr_> please help me with this
[04:27] <AstralJava> mabus: Do you want to use gmail with evolution?
[04:27] <shawnr_> ;(
[04:27] <Dimensions> i have attached my keyboard with laptop and now when i remove keyboard my laptop keys are working as keypad on the rite side ... i ran xserver xorg but when i rebooted computer it again is turned same way and is acting as keypad any suggestions ??
[04:27] <shawnr_> i can't reinstall it
[04:27] <shawnr_> the deb is damaged
[04:28] <shawnr_> how can i fix this
[04:28] <frogzoo> valehru: cpu speed?
[04:28] <sexcopter8000m> bkuri, have you got anything over 1280 in windows working?
[04:28] <erUSUL> shawnr_: remove the affected deb from /var/cache/apt/
[04:28] <AstralJava> (17:26:47) AstralJava: AustLaw: It's a meta-package, listing packages that it depends on -> will be installed if you install this meta-package.
[04:28] <ajax4> Hey guys. Is it now safe to upgrade the xserver-xorg-core from the Updates?
[04:28] <erUSUL> shawnr_: and try again
[04:28] <valehru> 2.3 Ghz AMD 64
[04:29] <noureddine> hi guys, i have a small question, i have ubuntu installed and updated at work, can i take an image of that and install it at home which wil iclude al the updates,,thank you for any help
[04:29] <mabus> AstralJava: No if possible I'd like to be able to use this.
[04:29] <valehru> ajax4, yes it is
[04:29] <erUSUL> shawnr_: the reinstall i mean... sudo apt-get clean and sudo apt-get autoclean will do it too
[04:29] <mabus> AstralJava: How do I check if I have a smtp account?
[04:29] <AstralJava> mabus: Please define 'this'. :)
[04:29] <ajax4> valehru: Thanks
[04:29] <mabus> aculei.net
[04:30] <bkuri> sexcopter8000m: This is a brand-new monitor as far as this PC is concerned; before this monitor, the highest res used to be 1280x1024
[04:30] <shawnr_> erUSUL, still wont let me uninstall it
[04:30] <frogzoo> valehru: how much swap?
[04:30] <brk3> is there anywhere that shows what options ubuntu uses in its kernels?
[04:31] <AstralJava> mabus: Okay, if you have acquired an email address from their services, you should find out what settings they require you to use. It's quite rare that they'd give you an inbox without the ability to send mail as well. Contact their customer service, please, they should give you these settings.
[04:31] <noureddine> hi guys, i have a small question, i have ubuntu installed and updated at work, can i take an image of that and install it at home which wil iclude al the updates,,thank you for any help
[04:31] <frogzoo> brk3: /boot/config-2.6.15-25-686
[04:31] <erUSUL> shawnr_: have you reinstaled it after the clean?
[04:31] <valehru> frogzoo, the default is 8.71 GB
[04:31] <shawnr_> erUSUL, its not letting me run an update or install anything else while i have this problem
[04:31] <brk3> frogzoo: thanks alot
[04:31] <shawnr_> erUSUL, the deb is damaged
[04:31] <sexcopter8000m> bkuri, not sure then, you could try making in run in 1680 through the xorg.conf file, but quite likely the graphics card doesn't support it. give me a moment
[04:31] <shawnr_> erUSUL, i get an error on install
[04:31] <brk3> frogzoo: so can i just take these settings when compiling my own kernel and add some custom ones i want
[04:31] <frogzoo> valehru: crikey, that's overkill - mebbe reduce it to 3gig
[04:31] <valehru> that was what the default brought it to..
[04:32] <erUSUL> shawnr_: i told you to run  sudo apt-get clean and sudo apt-get autoclean to clean the damaged deb from your system so you have to dl it anew
[04:32] <bkuri> sexcopter8000m: sure thing
[04:32] <frogzoo> brk3: things may break without the ubuntu patches
[04:32] <valehru> frogzoo, I've got 1TB of space so storage is not a problem for me
[04:32] <mabus> AstralJava: It's just a shell from a friend, he doesn't have like a 24/7 service number or anything.. is there a wayfor me to test? I know "sendmail" doesn't say command not found, and that's one of theoptions to send mail in evolution, can I use that?
[04:32] <Abst> !Mp3
[04:32] <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
[04:32] <brk3> frogzoo: so its not a good idea compiling my own kernel?
[04:32] <frogzoo> valehru: no, but smaller swap will encourage apps to remain memory resident
[04:32] <AstralJava> noureddine: I'm not a hardware expert, but in my understanding, unless the machine is an exact copy of the one you're taking the image of, it won't work. Different hw requires different drivers and settings for the system configurations. So, I would say no, but someone in the know might prove otherwise. :)
[04:32] <jkp_> having a very strange problem with an ubuntu install
[04:33] <frogzoo> brk3: generally it's unnecessary & a bad idea
[04:33] <jkp_> its spawning processes many more times than it should - 8 bind, 6 bacula, 30 apache2
[04:33] <jkp_> i cant work out why this is happening
[04:33] <Abst> Is there a way to listen to mp3s without converting?
[04:33] <Elephantium> sanityx: Did you figure out your dual-boot issue?
[04:33] <jkp_> any ideas where to look?
[04:33] <Abst> Converting a podcast takes alot of time
[04:33] <AstralJava> mabus: Not that I know of. You'd need to know the name of the server, your user account on that server, password and the port where the service is listening in.
[04:33] <valehru> frogzoo, so apart from decreasing the swap space do you have any other suggestions?
[04:33] <AstralJava> mabus: Contact your friend, (s)he should be able to give you this info.
[04:33] <frogzoo> valehru: then remove unnecessary processes (I doubt on a 2gig machine this will make much difference) & check top for procs hogging cpu
[04:33] <sanityx> Elephantium: I think so. You can be sure that I'll be back if it doesn't work :-D
[04:34] <noureddine> AstralJava: how can i just take an image of the updates..
[04:34] <sara> does anyone know how to fix GTK-Gnutella???
[04:34] <brk3> frogzoo: ok
[04:34] <earthian> valehru: if you have ~4 gigs of ram make swap up to 128mb
[04:34] <brk3> thanks
[04:34] <noureddine> AstralJava: software update and system updates ??
[04:34] <earthian> on windows i have 4gig of ram and i disable the page file at all
[04:34] <Elephantium> Good luck - I was going to suggest using the LiveCD in rescue mode :)
[04:34] <shawnr_> erUSUL, I can't
[04:34] <AstralJava> noureddine: I hear good things about apt-zip.
[04:34] <kishore> how to uninstall !!! after installing
[04:35] <earthian> that makes thing rly very fast :)
[04:35] <kishore> in ubuntu
[04:35] <ShoeUnited> What's Metacity?
[04:35] <shawnr_> erUSUL, I screwed up, its a debian deb not ubuntu deb.... i tried a few dif downloads... they fail on install
[04:35] <valehru> thanks for the suggestions guys.
[04:35] <frogzoo> shawnr_: that's a lucky thing
[04:35] <noureddine> AstralJava: that's the only solution, any packge that does all that
[04:36] <shawnr_> frogzoo, its not letting me update or install any other programs untill I reinstall this deb... but it fails on reinstall
[04:36] <shawnr_> and i can't remove it
[04:36] <frogzoo> shawnr_: sudo dpkg --purge PKG
[04:36] <shawnr_> frogzoo, doesn't work
[04:37] <shawnr_> dpkg: error processing jedit (--purge):
[04:37] <shawnr_>  Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
[04:37] <shawnr_>  reinstall it before attempting a removal.
[04:37] <frogzoo> shawnr_: but if it won't let you uninstall, that's awkward, no idea
[04:37] <AstralJava> noureddine: I'm sorry, I don't follow... I haven't used that tool, but apt-zip is a tool for updating non-networked computers, by getting the components on a different comp.

[04:39] <lucas> ok, I'm looking for a package that can warn me when a web page is updated (web page that doesn't offer an RSS feed). There's websec, but : 1. it sends HTML email, I don't want to read them using mutt. 2. it sends email, I would prefer it to generate an RSS feed.
[04:40] <ShoeUnited> What's Metacity?
[04:40] <tristan_> Is there anyone who have both gnome and KDE and who has a properly working transparency for windows in KDE?
[04:40] <erUSUL> ShoeUnited: the default wm of gnome
[04:41] <nlitement> hey, what's the difference between the server and the desktop edition of ubuntu?
[04:42] <Linuturk_code> nlitement, no gui on the server, and the kernal is slightly tweaked for server use
[04:43] <nlitement> hmm.. where's the live cd? to be honest, at least this localised site is a little empty
[04:43] <ShoeUnited> ok ;)
[04:44] <mowgli> erUSUL: WinRAR mixed up files 'common.pm' and 'Common.pm', which in Windows means the same thing. thx again! i'll give it a shot now. bye!
[04:45] <Abst> Can I get MP3s to play in Ubuntu without making them ogg?
[04:45] <eternalswd> how do I release an ip and get one from dhcp?
[04:45] <AstralJava> kakahn: The path is wrong, the Sources.gz file is located at http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/dists/dapper/main/source/
[04:46] <eternalswd> Abst, yes, you just need the proper codec
[04:46] <jrib> nlitement: the install cd is both the install and live cd
[04:46] <Abst> eternalswd: Can you give me it?
[04:46] <nlitement> jrib: ah, yeah, hmm... it was an old version then that had a seperate live cd :)
[04:46] <manopulus> it is possible to detect running x-system (openbox, xfce, gnome) in bash shell script? i want it for some actions during booting
[04:46] <nickspoon> !Mp3 > Abst
[04:46] <kakahn> AstralJava: i write what in repository so ?
[04:47] <AstralJava> Abst: Check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats.

[04:47] <MrKeuner> hi, I am having trouble to print to a printer connected to Dapper PC A from Dapper PC B. I cannot make the printer appear in the detected printers list in B. what should I do?
[04:47] <Abst> AstralJava: That doesnt say
[04:47] <eternalswd> Abst, it depends on what you're using as a backend.  backends include xine, mplayer, gstreamer
[04:47] <Abst> How do I find out which?
[04:47] <MrKeuner> !help
[04:47] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage
[04:48] <HeathenDan> what do you mean? it says which codecs you need in that page there
[04:48] <Abst> It doesn't.
[04:48] <AstralJava> kakahn: I don't know, why don't you paste your /etc/apt/sources.list in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org and we'll have a look at it.
[04:48] <HeathenDan> it does
[04:48] <Abst> it says convert to ogg
[04:48] <AstralJava> Abst: To me it says "How to make things work in a hurry".... that section covers it.
[04:48] <Abst> Hmm
[04:49] <shawnr_> Just to let you guys know... I fixed it
[04:49] <nlitement> is the server edition better compared to the desktop edition as a home internet server on a 10/10 mbit line?
[04:50] <shawnr_> this was the solution: dpkg --remove --force-depends --force-remove-reinstreq jedit
[04:50] <nickspoon> Abst: "Install the package gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly."
[04:50] <eternalswd> Abst, yes, what AstralJava said plus there's more details under the MP3 section
[04:51] <kakahn> AstralJava: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22154

[04:53] <AustLaw> how do I run the gui based vim?
[04:53] <_w^x_> is it possible for me to capture the audio and video of the realplayer stream im watching?
[04:53] <_w^x_> does ubuntu have any tools for that?
[04:53] <jrib> AustLaw: install vim-gtk or vim-gnome if you use gnome
[04:53] <jrib> AustLaw: the run 'gvim
[04:53] <eternalswd> how do I release an ip and get one from dhcp?
[04:54] <MrKeuner> hi, I am having trouble to print to a printer connected to Dapper PC A from Dapper PC B. I cannot make the printer appear in the detected printers list in B. I can print though if I manually add a printer. what should I do?
[04:54] <AustLaw> thanks
[04:54] <bkuri> sexcopter8000m: pls see PM
[04:54] <AstralJava> kakahn: I'm sorry, it looks just like the line winehq gives in their site. I have no idea why it does that, maybe contact someone from the winehq and ask them? Sorry for no being able to help...
[04:55] <friend32e> hey; how do I run a command on bash such that it displays the command I just ran, and then shows the output for the command (I'd like this for scripting) thanks!
[04:55] <kakahn> thanks, i have contact whinehp, answer: go #ubuntu
[04:55] <sexcopter8000m> bkuri, strange, I haven't got any PM from you...
[04:55] <sexcopter8000m> bkuri, did you get messages from me?
[04:55] <AstralJava> kakahn: Heh, figures. :)
[04:56] <_lupine> friend32e: $0 contains the command line
[04:56] <AstralJava> kakahn: Okay, I'm gonna have a try myself. If you're not in a hurry, stay tuned... ;)
[04:56] <friend32e> so how do I use that?
[04:56] <_lupine> oh, hang ong
[04:56] <_lupine> on*
[04:56] <kakahn> you know an other distribution for newbies and where wine is easy to install ?
[04:56] <friend32e> I'd like to (lets say) run ls
[04:56] <_lupine> kakahn: ubuntu ;)
[04:56] <kakahn> other ^
[04:56] <bkuri> sexcopter8000m: that's weird! maybe that's why you weren' answering b4
[04:56] <kakahn> :)
[04:57] <AstralJava> kakahn: Wine is in universe...
[04:57] <friend32e> I'd like it to output the command "ls" to screen, and then the directory contents
[04:57] <sexcopter8000m> bkuri, lol ok
[04:57] <_lupine> TBH, Debian
[04:57] <sexcopter8000m> bkuri, I'll go through it here then, in brief
[04:57] <bkuri> sexcopter8000m: anyways, i just restarted X11, but i still can't see the new res on the list
[04:57] <kakahn> in fact, i will just play online ( warcraft 3 )
[04:57] <sexcopter8000m> bkuri, oh, have you edited the conf file?
[04:57] <_lupine> friend32e: are the commands to be run dynamically chosen or staticly coded?
[04:57] <kakahn> you know an other solution ( free solution )
[04:57] <AstralJava> kakahn: Have you tried installing the version from universe?
[04:58] <kakahn> url ?
[04:58] <bkuri> sexcopter8000m: yeah... i did get your messages
[04:58] <_lupine> if the latter, "echo "Running program"; ./program would do the trick
[04:58] <friend32e> _lupine, it's some copy commands
[04:58] <AstralJava> kakahn: Universe is another ubuntu repository
[04:58] <friend32e> I have my system send the output of cron to my email
[04:58] <_lupine> so you're getting details passed to you in $1..$n?
[04:58] <kakahn> i am a noob :)
[04:58] <_lupine> np :).
[04:58] <kakahn> how i do?
[04:58] <sexcopter8000m> bkuri, ok. then sorry i have no other suggestions =( perhaps post on the forums?
[04:58] <friend32e> but I'd like to see the actual commands ran on the output as well; not just the output of the commands ran
[04:59] <nlitement> NOO ANSWER?! HELP!
[04:59] <kakahn> you have this repository ?
[04:59] <_lupine> if you have a script that, say, takes two command-line parameters - src and dest - they'll be stored in $0 and $1
[04:59] <AstralJava> kakahn: Checked your sources.list, it is enabled for you. Just comment out the mentions of winehq's repos, run sudo ap-get update && sudo apt-get install wine
[04:59] <bkuri> sexcopter8000m: will do; thanks anyway for your time!
[04:59] <thundr> what's bkuri's problem?
[04:59] <friend32e> yuck :(
[04:59] <friend32e> on DOS this is so easy!
[04:59] <_lupine> So before you run the 'cp $1 $2' command, you can have 'echo "cp $1 2
[04:59] <nlitement> damn.. silly talk, so err :) does it make a difference having a server edition on a 10/10mbit home internet server?
[04:59] <sexcopter8000m> bkuri, you're welcome, best of luck :)
[04:59] <_lupine> s//$
[04:59] <nlitement> over the desktop edition?
[04:59] <friend32e> I just want it to echo all my commands back to stdout!
[04:59] <_lupine> like @echo on ?
[05:00] <thundr> bkuri, you're having a problem with resolutions in X?
[05:00] <friend32e> _lupine correct; exactly what I need
[05:00] <friend32e> the linux equivalent tho
[05:00] <bkuri> thundr: hi; i'm trying to get my graphics card to recognize my monitor's native resolution (1680x1050), but i can't seem to find it on the control panel
[05:00] <AstralJava> nlitement: I don't know what your usage will be, but if there's a server edition, won't it possibly be better for server use? :)
[05:00] <nlitement> AstralJava: FTP/HTTP/Enemy Territory/Ventrilo.. :)
[05:00] <friend32e> thundr; see /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:01] <longwave> friend32e: is this a shell script? you can use "bash -x script.sh" to show each command as it is run
[05:01] <friend32e> oh!
[05:01] <_lupine> that's the one :)
[05:01] <friend32e> sweet!
[05:01] <_lupine> knew it was possible
[05:01] <thundr> bkuri, is the resolution listed in xorg?  (sorry, I missed most of what you said)
[05:01] <friend32e> lol thanx
[05:01] <friend32e> _lupine, da man!!
[05:01] <AstralJava> nlitement: If you're gonna have a lot of users, lot of traffic, disc activity and network adapter throughput, I'd suggest use the server install.
[05:01] <thundr> bkuri, the conf file?
[05:01] <bkuri> thundr: I tried editing the X11/xorg.conf file by adding my resolution manually and restarted, but it didn't work
[05:02] <bkuri> thundr: yup
[05:03] <thundr> bkuri, okay, you put "1060x1050" in the front of the list under all the monitor entries?  What res. is it running at now
[05:03] <longwave> nlitement: there is no real difference, the server version does not come with X installed by default, but if you install the ubuntu-desktop package you will get X and effectively turn your install into a standard ubuntu
[05:03] <m_0_r_0_n> I created a user by "useradd -m -G group user". How do I set the envirenmont for the user to be able to call commands without the absolute path? e.g. the path /usr/sbin is not visible for the user
[05:03] <friend32e> _lupine, sadly this doesnt help me. I cant have the entire conents of my script being outputted for security reasons :(
[05:03] <bkuri> thundr: yes i did
[05:03] <bkuri> my current res is 1280x1024
[05:03] <AstralJava> longwave: There's the server-optimized kernel...
[05:04] <nlitement> okie, thank you :)
[05:04] <thundr> bkuri, is that res listed in the .conf file?
[05:04] <m_0_r_0_n> commands not found although files exist
[05:04] <thundr> bkuri, sorry, the 1280 res
[05:04] <bkuri> thundr: yes it is
[05:04] <longwave> AstralJava: true, but i had no problems saturating a 10mbit line a few years back with linux, so nowadays that really won't make any difference at all i think
[05:04] <cliffd> can someone help me, im going outa my mind. nothing on my gnome panel will stay where I put it after I log out or restart. I have everything set to lock to panel and it all moves
[05:04] <xange> where would I check for timeout settings? my ssh keeps timing out
[05:05] <AstralJava> m_0_r_0_n: Sounds like it needs to be in PATH variable.
[05:05] <thundr> bkuri, xorg will use the highest res possible that's listed, so take that out (either manually or with the xorg reconfigure utility)
[05:05] <longwave> m_0_r_0_n: did you add the user to the "admin" group? things in /usr/sbin are generally run for admin tasks or only by root...
[05:05] <bkuri> thundr: where can i find the reconfig util you speak of?
[05:05] <AstralJava> longwave: I'm afraid you're right. I seem to recall things like smtp server and such that have been moved off the desktop install into server install. If nlitement won't need that, there's just no big point.
[05:06] <thundr> bkuri, I can't remember the exact name, give me a second.
[05:06] <nlitement> nope, no need for email
[05:06] <bkuri> thundr: k thx
[05:06] <nlitement> so I wouldn't really need it?
[05:06] <longwave> nlitement: if you intend to use it as a desktop computer, install the desktop version
[05:06] <nlitement> besides, I'm not a real friend of Bashing (pun intended)
[05:06] <nlitement> :)
[05:06] <longwave> nlitement: otherwise you will end up installing all the desktop packages anyway
[05:07] <Dimensions> can some one tell me who has used an usb Wireless Adapter in ubuntu which is supported i have one with me but its not working in it
[05:07] <m_0_r_0_n> longwave, no, there is no admin group
[05:07] <thundr> bkuri, I believe the command is "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" Can someone confirm this?
[05:07] <longwave> thundr, bkuri: that command will take you through the X driver selection and so on again, if that's what you want
[05:08] <MZM> how can I redirect stderr output to file?
[05:08] <thundr> longwave, I want the screen where you get to select which resolutions x will run in
[05:08] <m_0_r_0_n> longwave, sorry adm exist, but I didnt add the user to the adm group
[05:08] <jrib> MZM: blah 2> file
[05:08] <RICHARD22222> Hello my name is richard and i want to install ubuntu. i have aol internet and i cant connect to AOL using UBUNTU.
[05:09] <MZM> jrib: tnx
[05:09] <longwave> m_0_r_0_n: "adm" and "admin" are two different groups. you might want to edit ~/.bash_profile for the user in question, you can set their PATH there so they can run commands from the directories you choose
[05:09] <nlitement> longwave: Soo, err, it doesn't benefit to learn bashing on a server edition when I can just serve with the desktop edition (which does include servers and such? Or if not, I can get using sudo apt get?)?
[05:09] <m_0_r_0_n> longwave, ok
[05:09] <mabus> !pgp
[05:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pgp - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:09] <AstralJava> nlitement: It always benefits to learn bash scripting. Always. :)
[05:09] <mabus> !pretty good privacy
[05:09] <longwave> nlitement: all ubuntu packages will install on any version (desktop, server, kubuntu, xubuntu, etc) - the only real difference is the set of packages that get installed by default
[05:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pretty good privacy - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:09] <jrib> !gpg
[05:09] <ubotu> gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard.  See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto
[05:10] <thundr> longwave, but since bkuri's resolution is non-standard (at least I haven't ever seen it), it might not show up and bkuri'll have to manually edit xorg.conf
[05:10] <AstralJava> nlitement: But I believe you can make a perfectly sound server out of a desktop machine, up to decent point anyway.
[05:10] <nlitement> I hope I won't get into silly trouble, though :)
[05:10] <nlitement> and isn't consoling a bit slow?
[05:10] <RICHARD22222> Hello my name is richard and i want to install ubuntu. i have aol internet and i cant connect to AOL using UBUNTU.
[05:10] <nlitement> hmm
[05:11] <AstralJava> nlitement: What would you mean with 'slow'?
[05:11] <longwave> nlitement: the console has a steeper learning curve than a gui desktop but once you are used to it you can often do tasks quicker than you could in a gui
[05:11] <nlitement> AstralJava: Not as effective. For example, given the usually complex naming of directories in unix based systems, if I want to go into a directory, I STILl have to type in the full name :)
[05:11] <longwave> nlitement: try typing the first few letters of a dir name then press tab ;)
[05:11] <mabus> jrib: Is a gpg key the same thing as a pgp key?
[05:11] <nlitement> !!
[05:12] <AstralJava> nlitement: You have bash completion, by pressing tab.
[05:12] <nlitement> longwave :((( why didn't you tell that to me before?
[05:12] <nlitement> <3!
[05:12] <AstralJava> :)
[05:12] <Gasten> RICHARD22222: I'm no expert, but can you tell us about your symptoms?
[05:12] <jrib> mabus: they accomplish similar things, I am not familiar with pgp though
[05:13] <mabus> jrib: where you have a public and private key, etc
[05:13] <jrib> mabus: yes
[05:13] <RICHARD22222> I cant connect connect to the internet i have AOL with a DSL MODEM
[05:13] <vieirar> Hi I have Firefox along with Mplayeplug-in installed. How can I change firfox to have helix player used for realplayer videos?
[05:13] <mabus> can you sign pgp keys, have others sign them, and what not?
[05:13] <bkuri> thundr: u getting my PM's?
[05:13] <RICHARD22222> im going to go into ubuntu now
[05:13] <jkp_> something is clearly wrong with my box my apache config is set to spawn only two child processes, yet i have 58
[05:13] <thundr> bkuri, no
[05:13] <jrib> mabus: yes
[05:13] <pip> DBO, Hi
[05:13] <bkuri> thundr: damn... :)
[05:14] <pip> DBO, long time no see
[05:14] <nlitement> longwave, astraljava: What's a good ftp server, just to ask in advance? Ventrilo, ET, SQLs, PHP, Apache, all of those I know about and have experience already in linux, but what about the ftpd?
[05:14] <jkp_> i really need some ideas where the hell to look for the source of this issue
[05:14] <longwave> mabus, jrib: pgp and gpg do pretty much the same thing. pgp is the original but is now commercial software; gpg is the free equivalent
[05:14] <Gasten> RICHARD22222: Yeah, but... do you get any messages? it work in your previous OS (windows?)
[05:14] <bkuri> thundr: i went through the config util and restarted, but it still doesn't show up on the Screen Resolution panel
[05:14] <thundr> he's gone, Gasten
[05:14] <Gasten> bah..
[05:14] <longwave> nlitement: both vsftpd and pureftpd are worth a look
[05:14] <AstralJava> nlitement: I chose proftpd, don't recall why.
[05:14] <mabus> longwave: are they incompatible, though? if somebody has a pgp key, is that totally different than a gpg key? or are they just different programs for using the same types of keys?
[05:15] <thundr> bkuri,  were you able to select the resolution in the config utility?
[05:15] <longwave> mabus: you should be able to use the same keys across the different versions. there is the "openpgp standard" which all pgp-type programs are supposed to conform to, to let them share data like that
[05:15] <bkuri> thundr: not really; it autodetected the monitor and asked me a bunch of questions about my keyboard layout, but nothing else
[05:16] <C-O-L-T> if I have windows on a pc and I start the ubuntu install basically ubuntu will delete my windows or makes a separate partition_
[05:16] <bobjones_> hi all, i have a problem with my nvidia card, i cant seem to get direct rendering enabled, all was fine but i had to reinstall, and since then it dosent seem to work, i dodnt even get the nvidia splash screen, but nvidia is specified in corg.conf, someone please help
[05:16] <bkuri> thundr: it also restarted X11 automatically
[05:19] -ChanServ(ChanServ@services.)- [#ubuntu-server]  Ubuntu Server Discussions (development and support)
[05:19] -ChanServ(ChanServ@services.)- [#ubuntu]  Welcome to #ubuntu! Please read the channel topic and consider spending some time on the FAQ mentioned there
[05:19] (longwave/#ubuntu) mabus: yes. gpg is supposed to be an entirely transparent and free replacement for the commercial pgp software
[05:20] (thundr/#ubuntu) bkuri gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf will open it (put a sudo in front to edit)
[05:21] (bkuri/#ubuntu) thundr: where's the pastebin @?

[05:22] <OoberMick> Does anyone know how to change the language of a document in openoffice? I have a document that seems to be en_US and I want it to be en_GB. I can tell openoffice "this paragraph is uk english" but is there a way to do this for the whole document?

[05:32] <tyler_1> does anyone have the default settings for 1 monitor and 1 tv using aticonfig with a radeon 9600?? I have tried a few unsuccessfully
[05:32] <don_jr> I have downloaded a tar.gz package, I extracted it and read the install file, it says to put in make, then make install, when I do this from the bash cli it tells me make is not a command, what's up?
[05:32] <reptyle> earthian, are you using md devices and mdadm to setup the raid?
[05:32] <earthian> my raid comes from BIOS
[05:32] <PhillipElHaxor> arn1: yes, i tried
[05:32] <Thunderpants> don_jr, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[05:32] <earthian> got 2 sata drives in a raid-0
[05:32] <PhillipElHaxor> still now luck
[05:33] <bkuri> thundr: yup it's 1680x1050
[05:33] <PhillipElHaxor> thanks a bunch gnomefreak!
[05:33] <earthian> using dmraid to make map them together
[05:33] <thundr> bkuri, I've updated it
[05:33] <earthian> as written in that howto
[05:33] <earthian> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto <-- that oen
[05:33] <earthian> one*
[05:33] <bkuri> thundr: kewl thx!
[05:33] <don_jr> Thunderpants thank you, I'll try again in a moment, when I do the 'make' command should I be in the directory I extracted to?  Where the .c and .h files are?
[05:33] <earthian> all is done except i dont get the default grub values changed
[05:34] <arn1> PhillipElHaxor can you try one more time now please
[05:34] <Thunderpants> don_jr, in the dir you should: ./configure, make && make install
[05:34] <thundr> bkuri, make sure you replace with the sudo in front, otherwise it won't save it
[05:34] <reptyle> earthian, hrmm.... I've never used that specifically... either real HW raid, or linux software raid.  If the devices are discreet devices to linux IE, linux doesn't see... a single device from the bios as the actual raid, or are doing linux software raid on top of hw raid, IE /dev/mdX devices with mdadm, you need to use LILO instead of grup.

[05:35] <earthian> :S
[05:35] <earthian> i started with grub
[05:35] <earthian> that howto writes everything pretty clearly how to make it work
[05:35] <bkuri> thundr: what did you change? (just curious)
[05:35] <reptyle> can you give me the URL to your howto?
[05:35] <earthian> but think i am too noob to understand "where and what" in the grub config part
[05:35] <arn1> could someone test again ftp://83.157.162.193 with arnaud as login and aew7uhw as password please thanks
[05:36] <earthian> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto
[05:36] <don_jr> Thunderpants ./configure not found
[05:36] <bkuri> thundr: i need to restart X11, right?
[05:36] <thundr> bkuri, I removed the 1280x1024 and all the resolutions down to 1024x768
[05:36] <thundr> bkuri, yes, close all programs, press ctrl-alt-backspace
[05:37] <Dimensions> when im installing ubuntu why do i get this message Could not Find RAM DISK IMAGE ERROR 9
[05:37] <bkuri> thundr: that's weird... i can still see the resolutions in the conf file that you sent me
[05:37] <dangson> hi everyone. in xfce, how do i edit everything in the menu? i can't edit the part that says --- include ---
[05:38] <reptyle> earthian, where in the process does it stop working in the HOWTO?
[05:38] <pwuertz> hi, I'm trying to build a kernel module... but scripts/mod/modpost is missing... how can i get/compile it?

[05:39] <earthian> reptyle: from line "Configuring the Bootloader" and down
[05:39] <reptyle> earthian, ok.. one second.
[05:39] <earthian> reptyle: when i run the update-grub it default to /dev/hda1 there
[05:40] <earthian> i fail to make it default to my raid
[05:40] <earthian> or so.. i am not sure :S
[05:40] <earthian> i can provide the menu.lst file and other things if needed.

[05:41] <ltibor65> Hi! I will compile open movie editor from source, but when I configure, it cannot find c++, but it is installed. What problem can be with it?
[05:41] <TheSheep> ltibor65: install the -dev packages too
[05:42] <maikol> TheSheep in /etc/network/interfaces put hostname <name> under the device you want
[05:42] <TheSheep> maikol: thanks!
[05:42] <ltibor65> TheSheep: dev packages of what?
[05:43] <rodey> might be a newb question, but on my laptop i only have 1 partition with xp home on it. i want to repartition and have 2 drives, but i don't want to format and lose all my existing data. is there a way to do that. i have looked around and can't find anything completely definate. i can't afford to lose any of the information i have on my computer. thanks for the help
[05:43] <arn1>  arn1:  could someone test again ftp://83.157.162.193 with arnaud as login and aew7uhw as password please thanks
[05:44] <reptyle> rodey, qtparted, it is on the ubuntu live cd install, however it is always advised to backup any partitions that get altered... as something can always go wrong.
[05:45] <arn1> arn1:  arn1:  could someone test again ftp://83.157.162.193 with arnaud as login and aew7uhw as password please thanks
[05:45] <TheSheep> ltibor65: of whatever packages are required, best install whole build-essential
[05:46] <reptyle> earthian, looking at it now...
[05:46] <TheSheep> rodey: the ubuntu installer is able to resize nfs partitions, but may fail and damage it, so better have a backup
[05:46] <arn1> ???
[05:47] <shawarma> arn1: Works fine.

[05:47] <shawarma> arn1: It loks like somone's homedir.
[05:47] <arn1> ok great
[05:48] <arn1> thanks very much
[05:48] <shawarma> arn1: np
[05:48] <shawarma> arn1: Oh, and if it matters, a pwd yields "/".
[05:49] <shawarma> arn1: So your chroot magic is doing its thing just fine, too.
[05:49] <TheSheep> maikol: it throws an error
[05:49] <Dimensions> guys i have asked few questions long time ago but no one is answering me at all
[05:50] <sybermile> i have a question about my dell e1405
[05:50] <TheSheep> Dimensions: maybe nobody knows the answer? what was the questions?
[05:50] <maikol> TheSheep what kind
[05:50] <TheSheep> maikol: cannot parse the interfaces file
[05:50] <CIMMA> hi
[05:50] <TheSheep> maikol: maybe I wasn't clear, I don't want the box to set up its dns name, I want it to take the name given by dhcp and set it as its hostname
[05:50] <maikol> TheSheep show me a copy
[05:51] <bobjones_> hi all, can some one help me with xorg, and nvidia.  Ive been having problems enabling direct rendering.  So i installed nvidia-settings, which removed nvidia-glx.  ive reinstalled that, but my xorg config seems hosed, i had to delete a whole bunch of wacom lines just to start x again
[05:51] <mathieu__> how do i print a color pdf in black and white in ubuntu ?
[05:51] <maikol> TheSheep oh.
[05:51] <CIMMA> wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=disable
[05:51] <CIMMA> cmd 'Inreq_ifstate' is invalid
[05:51] <bkuri> thundr: it didn't work at all... i just reverted to the old conf file, but i'm now still stuck in 1024x768!
[05:51] <Dimensions> TheSheep: first i am installin ubuntu and getting error message that Couldnot find ramdisk image error 9
[05:51] <richie_> My VLC browser plug-in doesn't work.  I hear the audio but see no video.  Just a black box.  How do I fix this?
[05:51] <maikol> TheSheep: im not sure how to do that
[05:51] <CIMMA> why???
[05:52] <TheSheep> Dimensions: you get the error when booting from the cd?
[05:52] <don_> say what is a .rpm file?
[05:53] <shawarma> don_: redhat package manger. It's like a .deb only for redhat based distros.
[05:53] <TheSheep> don_: it's kind of like .deb file, a package, only not for ubuntu, rather for redhat or mandrake
[05:53] <reptyle> earthian, the menu.lst you paste bin looks correct as far as the HOWTO goes, when you run update-grub are you saying it changes everything back to /dev/hda1?
[05:53] <don_> okay thanx
[05:53] <shawarma> don_: ..or suse.
[05:53] <kitche> shawarma: it's not called redhat package manager anymore
[05:53] <earthian> mh
[05:53] <earthian> one moment
[05:53] <shawarma> kitche: No? Then what?
[05:53] <Dimensions> TheSheep: yes when i am using desktop live version cd ... and when alternat it hangs the system

[05:55] <g333k_work> Hi I'm trying to log on to another pc via ssh and I get this message: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22159  any clue?
[05:55] <svijaykr> I am trying to install ubuntu on an IBM thinkcentre - the kernel loads up alright - the root fs gets mounted - then I get a stream of "Buffer I/O error on device sr0...."
[05:55] <Dralid> is there a channel either for games or amd64 related problems? I'm having trouble getting Stepmania to work on my 64-bit machine.
[05:56] <TheSheep> Dimensions: does the livecd boot at all?
[05:56] <kitche> g333k_work: most likely the RSA key of the host has changed
[05:56] <reptyle> earthian, >> -- This error is probably caused by an invalid /etc/fstab
[05:56] <svijaykr> and the occasional error from squashfs sb_bread
[05:56] <earthian> how to fix it? :S
[05:56] <g333k_work> kitche, So what I have to do?
[05:56] <TheSheep> Anybody know how to set the local hostname to the one provided by dhcp or dns?
[05:56] <brotherJohn1234> g333k_work, have you changed anything on that remote host ?
[05:56] <earthian> or will it be fixed automatically after i finish all stuff there?
[05:56] <svijaykr> any idea of what could be wrong ?
[05:57] <rodey> thanks for the advice guys, i appreciate it
[05:57] <g333k_work> brotherJohn1234, yep I installed ubuntu again
[05:57] <reptyle> earthian, you need to edit your /etc/fstab before you run update-grub.
[05:57] <earthian> k
[05:57] <don_> Arg I've got so much to learn.  when in terminal from gnome, I do ls, what does it mean if the name of the file is green?
[05:57] <bobjones_> how do i reconfigure xorg?
[05:57] <kitche> g333k_work: well you have to find the host in your known_host file and delete that entry
[05:58] <mabus> How can I have it so I have my x session forwarded through ssh? ie: so I can have fluxbox on my ubuntu box in my putty window on windows.. is it possible?
[05:58] <g333k_work> kitche, what file is this?
[05:58] <Dimensions> TheSheep: nopess ... when loading it goes to unpacking linux something after i select boot or install ubuntu ... it goes to 25% and then stucks there
[05:58] <TokenBad> in ubuntu is there software to record streaming videos?
[05:58] <brotherJohn1234> g333k_work, look at the output of ssh . it's says it too ;)
[05:58] <Dimensions> and gives error
[05:58] <g333k_work> brotherJohn1234, I got it thanks
[05:58] <bkuri> thundr: i just fixed my res for 1280x1024, but i'm giving up on 1680x1050 for now... thanks a bunch for your time, though!
[05:58] <kitche> g333k_work it's in .ssh/known_host
[05:59] <earthian> :o
[05:59] <kitche> g333k_work that's in the home directory by the way
[05:59] <earthian> reptyle: fstab is empty
[05:59] <earthian> :D
[05:59] <g333k_work> kitche, Thanks I solved it
[05:59] <TheSheep> Dimensions: I guess it's incompatible with ubuntu :/ Have you tried to boot any other distribution on it?
[06:00] <TheSheep> Dimensions: Maybe you would be able to install Ubuntu via Knoppix, as described on the ubuntu.com installation help page
[06:00] <PhillipElHaxor> alright
[06:00] <nlitement> word is that the DVD version of Ubuntu has more packages, but err.. how can I get pacakges that are not included on the CD?
[06:00] <reptyle> earthian, skip the update-grub part until you finish editing etc/fstab on the target partition ;)
[06:00] <PhillipElHaxor> i ran an oem install
[06:00] <earthian> k
[06:00] <PhillipElHaxor> because i have a harwaresetup where i can't install a server version
[06:00] <reptyle> earthian, they show you how to create it later in the HOWTO.
[06:00] <AstralJava> nlitement: Installing by apt-get from the repos?
[06:01] <don_> I've downloaded a program and cannot figure out how to install/run it.
[06:01] <nlitement> I have to use consoles? :(
[06:01] <PhillipElHaxor> i ran the command so that i could configure it as the end user
[06:01] <kitche> don_: is it source or binary?
[06:01] <AstralJava> nlitement: Of course not, sorry, there's Synaptic. :)
[06:01] <don_> When I do ls within the directory that I extracted to there is a 'green' colord file
[06:01] <thundr> bkuri, no problem, post in the forums & see if they can help you, I"m not the most knowledgable here by a long shot
[06:01] <kitche> don_: is it configure
[06:01] <nlitement> AstralJava: <3! Thank you, ooh, I'll run a livecd soon then
[06:01] <TheSheep> nlitement: http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[06:01] <kosnick> exit
[06:01] <don_> kitche I believe it's binary, but cannot say for sure, there are no .h or .c files so I don't believe it's source
[06:01] <PhillipElHaxor> now after the computer boots up, my monitor won't display anything
[06:01] <AstralJava> nlitement: You can find it in System - Administration - Synaptic package management
[06:01] <don_> kitche what do you mean? is it configure?
[06:02] <AstralJava> nlitement: or something like that...
[06:02] <kitche> don-: what is the the name of the green file
[06:02] <nlitement> ploe _=
[06:02] <nlitement> *okie :)
[06:02] <don_> ggmud
[06:02] <don_> kitche ggmud is the name of the green file.
[06:02] <kitche> don_: ok so did you try ./ggmud
[06:03] <TokenBad> in ubuntu is there software to record streaming videos?
[06:03] <don_> kitche nope, didn't know I could and/or should, I'll try that
[06:03] <don_> kitche that appears to have done it.  so the 'green' files are similar to .exe files?
[06:03] <svijaykr> anybody?
[06:04] <kitche> don_: well the green files means that they are executable
[06:04] <PhillipElHaxor> anyone know why after an oem install my monitor doesn't recognize the computer as being on?
[06:04] <kitche> don_: but they might not be a program per say
[06:04] <don_> kitche okay, great!  Thanx again.
[06:05] <kitche> I think i might install Ubuntu
[06:05] <PhillipElHaxor> ?
[06:06] <kitche> PhillipElHaxor: just by chance do you have two video cards or just one?
[06:06] <PhillipElHaxor> one
[06:06] <PhillipElHaxor> just intergrated
[06:07] <kitche> PhillipElHaxor: does the monitor work at all or no for example on boot up
[06:07] <PhillipElHaxor> it works fine
[06:07] <Dimensions> thanks for suggestion TheSheep
[06:07] <PhillipElHaxor> after i ran
[06:07] <PhillipElHaxor> sudo oem-config-prepare
[06:07] <PhillipElHaxor> i rebooted
[06:07] <PhillipElHaxor> then it goes through loading the kernal and all that stuff
[06:08] <PhillipElHaxor> then it give me a blank screen
[06:08] <PhillipElHaxor> then my monitor turns off, like it's not connected
[06:09] <kitche> PhillipElHaxor: ah ok, hmm do you have X installed?
[06:09] <PhillipElHaxor> X?
[06:09] <mabus> How can I have it so I have my x session forwarded through ssh? ie: so I can have fluxbox on my ubuntu box in my putty window on windows.. is it possible?
[06:09] <earthian> reptyle: it works now after i updated the fstab file. thanks a lot!!!
[06:09] <Althulas> i have a blinking application menu

[06:10] <picosam> hello; can I install LAMP on Ubuntu Desktop
[06:10] <picosam> I can't find the packages
[06:10] <picosam> do they only come with server?
[06:11] <kitche> picosam: it might be Xampp
[06:11] <Elko> why is my /etc/resolv.conf overwritten with an empty one on boot? and if I do system|administration|networking and filling everything, it doesn't load the location I last specified?
[06:11] <Althulas> what package is the menu bar in ?
[06:11] <earthian> could anybody help me before that to preconfigure my ubuntu that was installed with debootstrap
[06:11] <reptyle> earthian, no problem... grub does lots of checking, if your fstab doesn't match what is in menu.lst it'll tell you about it.
[06:11] <earthian> ??/
[06:11] <earthian> :)
[06:11] <arn1> could someone try once more time ftp://83.157.162.193 login =anonymous and password = password
[06:13] <arn1> and try with arnaud and aew7uhw
[06:13] <mathieu__> how do i stop cups from printing in color ?
[06:14] <Dimensions> when partitioning the hdd for ubuntu which is the best option erase whole hdd or erase entire hdd using lvm and what is the difference ???
[06:14] <arn1> did it work?
[06:14] <TokenBad> in ubuntu is there software to record streaming videos?
[06:14] <Thunderpants> arn1, Error: Could not read from socket: Connection reset by peer
[06:15] <kitche> Dimensions: lvm acts liek one whole partition but inside that partition are slices
[06:16] <Dimensions> kitche: so whats the difference does it make any difference doing either way ??  and when manually doing it i give swap as logical is that fine ?
[06:17] <amonkey> how can i get a recursive directory listing into a file will the full file paths? ls -R does this weird directory then all the files in it thing, i just want a list of all the files and their paths
[06:17] <kitche> Dimensions: well the non lvm way is that it will make several partitions, it's really up to you what you use but some peopel like lvm
[06:18] <DanaG> Hey, is there any easy way to force systray / "notification area" icons to appear in a certain order?
[06:19] <maple> how do I use linux to h4x0r n00bz
[06:19] <DanaG> I'm using kmix in my tray because it works better for 2 sound cards, but it doesn't fit in with the net and power applets
[06:19] <Axelh> Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount roof fs on unknown_block (0,0)
[06:19] <Axelh> Any idea?
[06:19] <DanaG> therefore I'm using networkmanager and the power-management icon.
[06:19] <AustLaw> does the i386 ubuntu support dual cores?
[06:19] <DanaG> i686 does SMP
[06:20] <DanaG> Just install the i386 and then update to the 686 kernel.
[06:20] <DanaG> The only thing is, NO version of Linux currently supports speedstep-centrino on Yonah.
[06:20] <AustLaw> hmm, can I run the 32bit apps that way?
[06:20] <DanaG> Yeah.
[06:21] <maple> DanaG: ubuntu doesn't come with the 686 kernel?
[06:21] <DanaG> Ubuntu defaults to the 386 kernel, I believe -- for maximum compatibility)
[06:21] <maple> -_-
[06:21] <AustLaw> there were two downloads, i386 and amd64
[06:22] <DanaG> i386 is like the 386 CPU.  i686 is Pentium Pro.
[06:22] <Docmur> I have a question about using a 32 bit chroot
[06:22] <maple> DanaG: I know
[06:22] <maple> but I thought "i386" just meant 32-bit nowadays
[06:22] <DanaG> Yup, it does.
[06:22] <AustLaw> I was told that the 64 bit version has problems, so I went with the 32
[06:22] <maple> why separate kernels then?
[06:22] <kitche> Axelh: your grub config might be wrong
[06:22] <Elko> nm, I found I need to edit /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base
[06:22] <DanaG> Then there are subsets -- Pentium4, 686, and such.
[06:22] <LOLZebra> hey
[06:23] <Docmur> I have programs that I want to use with out entering the shell how to I link the 32 bit programs into the 64 env ???
[06:23] <kitche> maple: if you have a pentium 4 it will run faster on i686
[06:23] <Docmur> how would I Do that
[06:23] <maple> ok
[06:23] <LOLZebra> I'll soon find out
[06:23] <maple> going to boot to linux, brb
[06:23] <AustLaw> if I update the kernel, is that different than just getting the amd64 version? does not have the problems people warned me of?
[06:23] <Axelh> Kitchie: Talking about menu.lst?
[06:23] <DanaG> Oh, I don't know anything about how to do 64-bit.  My CPU is a Yonah.
[06:23] <Docmur> wait you have a 32 bit kernel right

[06:24] <zooko> Greetings, people of Ubuntu!
[06:24] <Docmur> ummm I might be wrong but I was never able to get a 64 bit kernel well running the 32 bit, I think you have use 64 bit release
[06:25] <Docmur> I don't believe you can just go from 32 to 64 bit by switching the kernel
[06:25] <Docmur> becuase there are lib issues
[06:25] <DanaG> Different repos, perhaps?
[06:25] <DanaG> I'm just guessing.
[06:25] <toxickore> is the ubuntu 6.06 properly patched for the prism2 aireplay ARP injection?
[06:25] <AustLaw> I dont really want to run 64
[06:25] <Docmur> ummm not sure I think there the same 64 bit and 32
[06:26] <Docmur> it's how the system is set
[06:26] <AustLaw> II was ust noticing that my system monitor does not display 2 CPUs like it did when I was runnig the 64 version
[06:26] <kitche> Axelh: hmm probaby it's trying to use ram0 for root and not sure if it can
[06:26] <AustLaw> is it not possible to run 32bit dual core?
[06:26] <Docmur> if your lib are 64 bit compat then it will fetch 64 bit files from the respo
[06:26] <Docmur> sure you can run 32 dual core
[06:26] <Docmur> what proc
[06:26] <DanaG> The prepackaged 386 kernel does not do SMP, but the 686 does.
[06:27] <AustLaw> AMDx2 3800+
[06:27] <Axelh> kitchie: I'm not used to 'doing' these kind of stuff. What do you recommend?
[06:27] <AustLaw> amd64x2
[06:27] <Docmur> sure why not  I think it's something in the kernel
[06:27] <Docmur> you might want to google it
[06:27] <KingBrad> i am having a problem with adept.... i tried to install clvm and it ended up breaking adept and apt-get... can anyone help?
[06:27] <Docmur> but I think it will envolve a kernel rebuild
[06:27] <judy> help! I installed sendmail and it's giving me an error at boot preventing my system from starting
[06:27] <kitche> Axelh: well where did you install ubuntu to an ide drive using lvm or non lvm
[06:27] <judy> http://xs.to/xs.php?h=xs105&d=06354&f=P1030884.JPG
[06:27] <DanaG> do an "apt-cache search linux-image"
[06:28] <judy> is there anyway I can uninstall sendmail from my system using a live CD?
[06:28] <Docmur> yes
[06:28] <Docmur> set up a chroot
[06:29] <Axelh> Not exactly sure what you meant. I cannot use a LiveCD as my CD Reader can't read CDs for some wierd reason. Currently trying to install from c:\hubuntu
[06:29] <Docmur> so mkdir /root then chroot /root and it will act as if your on /root
[06:29] <TokenBad> in ubuntu is there software to record streaming videos?
[06:29] <reptyle> judy, have you tried booting using the (recovery mode) option?
[06:29] <judy> reptyle yes
[06:29] <judy> it gives me the same error
[06:29] <reptyle> judy, what is the error?
[06:29] <DanaG> linux-image-2.6.15-26-386 - Linux kernel image for version 2.6.15 on 386.
[06:29] <DanaG> linux-image-2.6.15-26-686 - Linux kernel image for version 2.6.15 on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/PIV SMP/UP
[06:29] <judy> http://xs.to/xs.php?h=xs105&d=06354&f=P1030884.JPG
[06:29] <Thunderpants> TokenBad, i looked in synaptic, it doesnt seem to be anything
[06:29] <jhasse> Can someone tell me, why the gnome hotkeys doesn't work while i'm playing bzflag???
[06:30] <kesha> judy just delete symlink of sendmail from rc2 and boot again
[06:30] <Thunderpants> s/it/there
[06:30] <toxickore> is the ubuntu 6.06 properly patched for the prism2 aireplay ARP injection?
[06:30] <KingBrad> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22161  <--- thats the error i get when i try todo dpkg --configure -a
[06:30] <Docmur> is your x2 64 bit axelh
[06:30] <judy> kesha how do I do that?
[06:30] <TokenBad> Thunderpants, yeah I know there prob is a way....just have to know how...
[06:30] <judy> I'm booted in a livecd now
[06:30] <kesha> judy boot with live cd and mount the partition, then delete that symlink
[06:31] <Thunderpants> TokenBad, google record streaming video linux and see it if turns up anything
[06:31] <judy> ok kesha where would I find it?
[06:31] <kesha> /etc/rc2.d/
[06:31] <Docmur> This question is open to anyone
[06:31] <Docmur> I want to a cheap video card
[06:32] <Docmur> either a 9600 SE or a 5200 GTX
[06:32] <Docmur> which one is better on linux
[06:32] <kristian> how can my system lag while running a movie in vlc, i got 2 gb ram and such
[06:32] <judy> kesha, what file am I looking for, because I don't see anything with "sendmail" in it in that directory
[06:32] <kitche> Docmur: I wouldn't use ati in linux
[06:33] <judy> wait never mind
[06:33] <friend32e> Docmur, a great cheap video card is Nvidia Geforce 6200
[06:33] <ranpha> kirstian what is your grap card
[06:33] <kesha> look in /etc/rcS.d
[06:33] <Docmur> okay
[06:33] <DanaG> best OPEN SOURCE video drivers are for the 9250 and below.
[06:33] <kristian> hmm grab card? dont even know what that is :/
[06:33] <judy> if I can boot again should I uninstall sendmail?
[06:33] <ranpha> kirstian graphic card,
[06:34] <judy> I trashed the symlink and am booting now *crosses fingers*
[06:34] <kesha> judy :)
[06:34] <kristian> cant remember, is there a way to find out in ubuntu? :)
[06:34] <reptyle> judy, yes, if you need a mail server, install postfix :)
[06:34] <judy> kmail doesn't give me a postfix option though?
[06:34] <judy> it said I can use an SMTP or sendmail
[06:35] <Docmur> okay to get dual core support
[06:35] <judy> since I'm wireless and can't send from my ISP's SMTP when I'm not at home I thought sendmail woudl be a good chice
[06:35] <stelki> does anybody know where firefox stores its bookmarks on winxp, so I can import them to ubuntu?
[06:35] <Docmur> apt-get the i6860smp
[06:35] <Docmur> sorry 1686-smp
[06:35] <DanaG> yeah.
[06:35] <Docmur> version
[06:35] <judy> after deleting the symlink I'm still getting the same error
[06:35] <DanaG> oh, it's just 686
[06:35] <reptyle> judy, most people don't need sendmail, if your setting up kmail for your internet email use SMTP and give it the hostname of your internet providers smtp email server.
[06:35] <DanaG> 686 includes SMTP.
[06:35] <ranpha> kristian well point is if you havn't got the right driver ati or nvidia, then there is no mpeg acceleration. I have the problem with savage cards nog video for me
[06:36] <DanaG> s/smtp/smp
[06:36] <Docmur> ummm my friend tells me i686 but run apt-cache search to see
[06:36] <ranpha> Stelki use the bookmanger and the export your bookmark , copy them to ubuntu and import them again with bookmark manager
[06:36] <judy> reptyle, I use a portable so I can't send through my ISP's SMTP when I'm not at home
[06:36] <DanaG>  linux-image-2.6.15-26-386 - Linux kernel image for version 2.6.15 on 386. linux-image-2.6.15-26-686 - Linux kernel image for version 2.6.15 on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/PIV SMP/UP
[06:36] <DanaG> er, lost a line break
[06:36] <stelki> ranpha: kay thanks dewd
[06:37] <judy> well it's booting now :) it hung up on the error for a second
[06:37] <reptyle> stelki, c:\documents & settings\<profile>\application data\ <<-- check for a mozilla or firefox directory there, inside there will be another directory, in that.. bookmarks.htm or bookmarks.html
[06:37] <AustLaw> so, it looks like there is a special 32bit-smp kernal, going to see if I can get it working, considering I have no idea how to use linux lol
[06:37] <ranpha> Kirstian already know youre card ?
[06:37] <stelki> reptyle: mkay will look up that too
[06:37] <DanaG> lspci can help you see what devices you have.
[06:38] <DanaG> (lowercase l, not capital I)
[06:38] <kesha> judy what is the error?
[06:38] <judy> http://xs.to/xs.php?h=xs105&d=06354&f=P1030884.JPG
[06:38] <judy> it was that same error
[06:38] <jhasse> why hotkeys doesn't work while playing opengl games?
[06:38] <judy> but then it eventually booted
[06:38] <judy> after saying "sendmail is not running"
[06:39] <judy> and I've just successfully apt-get removed sendmail
[06:39] <AustLaw> since I cannot run a VNC connection without having a user session logged in, Can I remotely start a session with remote shell if I need to reboot?
[06:39] <AustLaw> then connect with vnc?
[06:39] <nino> hi all
[06:40] <kitche> AustLaw: if you really wanted you could use freenx whihc you don't have to be logged in
[06:40] <kesha> judy, maybe you are mounting root partition read only?
[06:40] <judy> if I were it would be news to me
[06:41] <kesha> judy read your /etc/fstab
[06:42] <kesha> your error says that may be read-only filesystem
[06:42] <judy> /dev/hda3 / ext3 defaults, errors=remount-ro 0
[06:42] <AustLaw> kitche: does freenx work accross windows-linux?
[06:42] <DanaG> oh, perhaps there are errors, then.
[06:43] <kitche> AustLaw: yeah I used it for a while testing it out on some suse machines
[06:44] <kesha> judy, check out your bios date time year? :)
[06:44] <kesha> and try boot again
[06:44] <DanaG> Oh, how can I make a backup of one partition's boot sector?
[06:45] <reptyle> DanaG, dd :)
[06:45] <DanaG> It'd be with dd, but what parameters?
[06:45] <AustLaw> what are the cons of freenx vs vnc?
[06:45] <DanaG> It's FAT32.
[06:45] <kesha> judy maybe your bios has been reset
[06:45] <reptyle> dd if=/dev/hdxX of=bootsector BS=512 count=1
[06:45] <reptyle> I think thats right.
[06:46] <max__> Hi I'm having an error with installing Ubuntu
[06:46] <DanaG> bs needs to be lowercase.
[06:46] <max__> I can give the error in just a second I have to get back to it.
[06:46] <reptyle> http://www.highlandsun.com/hyc/linuxboot.html
[06:47] <reptyle> has it in it..
[06:48] <SanketMedhi> is Ubuntu available on solaris?
[06:48] <SanketMedhi> I mean sun

[06:48] <SanketMedhi> kitche: ok thanks
[06:49] <kitche> DanaG: he means ia64 right SanketMedhi?
[06:49] <away_man> running proftpd on dapper server, and getting "connection refused"  I suspect it's a firewall issue, but am pretty noob, and am not sure how to fix it.
[06:49] <max__> I'm installing Ubuntu and once it gets about like 6-8% it gives me the error. The debootstrap program exited with an error (return value 1). Check /target/var/log/bootstrap.log for the details.
[06:49] <reptyle> AustLaw, vnc .. if exporting your current session allows the person to sitting at the computer to see what the remote vnc'r is doing, or the opposite, freenx allows you to get a remote X session that is seperate from any other Xsession running on the system.
[06:49] <max__> I'm installing Ubuntu and once it gets about like 6-8% it gives me the error. The debootstrap program exited with an error (return value 1). Check /target/var/log/bootstrap.log for the details. How do I fix this?
[06:49] <arn1> please
[06:49] <DanaG> I don't know the details.
[06:49] <DanaG> sparc is its own architecture.

[06:51] <kitche> arn1: it gave me a login fine
[06:51] <edgy> Hi, I configured kmail to a dovecot imap server. but it requires me to be online to read the messages. How can I make them available online, please?
[06:51] <begginger> 5.10 asked for either a desktop or server install, 6.06 goes straight into live cd only, any ideas?
[06:51] <away_man> arn1:  logged into your ftp
[06:51] <arn1> which one? kitche
[06:51] <Frederick> hi folks is there any package for a cross gcc in ubuntu?
[06:51] <arn1> what do you see away_man?
[06:51] <DanaG> begginger: go back to the CD's boot menu.
[06:51] <DanaG> There's a server option.
[06:51] <arn1> which login kitche?
[06:52] <away_man> arn1: 230 attention arnaud serveur priv+ sous contr+le
[06:52] <RedRose> Frederick, A what?
[06:52] <DanaG> (it'll involve a reboot)
[06:52] <kitche> arn1: arnaud
[06:52] <phichipsi> hi, what should i do if i want to use kde sometimes and sometime (as now) gnome. is there a way to confiugure the system so that i can choose on login?
[06:52] <DanaG> In GDM you can choose.
[06:53] <arn1> but which folders away_man?
[06:53] <away_man> did an LS, but haven't retreived anything yet.  (working from command line)
[06:53] <phichipsi> DanaG, so i just need to install kde as well and then i will be able to choose on login?
[06:53] <SanketMedhi> kitche:  http://www.sun.com/servers/coolthreads/tnb/linux.jsp
[06:54] <SanketMedhi> !sun
[06:54] <reptyle> edgy, you should be able to set the folder in kmail for "offline use", you'll probably need to do that for all the folders you want, but I don't use kmail so you'll have to figure that out :)
[06:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sun - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:54] <arn1> away_man : which folders do you see?
[06:54] <arn1>  away_man can yu download and upload?
[06:54] <max__> I'm installing Ubuntu and once it gets about like 6-8% it gives me the error. The debootstrap program exited with an error (return value 1). Check /target/var/log/bootstrap.log for the details. How do I fix this? (If it's any help I'm installing Breezy Badger)

[06:55] <away_man> arn1: didn't get a folder listing.  tried to retrieve it, and it just sat for a while.

[06:56] <SanketMedhi> kitche: its called Ubuntu for Sparc
[06:56] <richiefrich> anyone have more info in "upstart"
[06:56] <away_man> is command line iptables the only way to configure the firewall in dapper server?
[06:56] <begginger> DanaGr: hi there, sorry I dont see a server install option, 5 options only Start or install, Start in safe graphics, Check CD for defects, Memory Test and Boot from first hdd theres an f6 other options, is it in there?
[06:56] <edgy> reptyle: there is something called subscribe to a folder. I don't know what is it but i tried it and it failed too
[06:56] <DanaG> Oh, I was using the LiveDVD.
[06:56] <Mikey> Hey, I'm new to ubuntu, if I install Dapper Drake, is it possible for me to downgrade my kernel without an internet connection?
[06:56] <rshakin> hey ppl
[06:57] <DanaG> For CDs, there may be a separate "server" CD
[06:57] <tyler_1> trying to set my tv up still... now when I do it from term it states, bad file descriptor??? ideas plz
[06:57] <rshakin> i am unable to update pkg is there something wrong with repositories
[06:57] <begginger> ic ok thanks
[06:57] <arn1> could someone try once more time ftp://83.157.162.193 login =arnaud and password = aew7uhw
[06:57] <kitche> tyler_1: hmm think that deals with udev
[06:58] <tyler_1> kitche: ???
[06:58] <reptyle> edgy, in imap you subscribe to folders, you can also unsubscribe.  The imap client usually only shows the folders you've subscribed to.  I would right click one of the imap folders (like your inbox) and see if there is an offline mode checkbox.
[06:58] <kitche> tyler_1: file descriptor has to do with udev
[06:58] <tyler_1> kitche: how wouldf i check into that?
[06:58] <away_man> #help
[06:59] <tyler_1> kitche: i brb... rebooting
[06:59] <kitche> tyler_1: well think there might be a readme about tv and xorg

[07:00] <kristian> do ya guys know why my movies lag when im playing them on ubuntu?
[07:00] <edgy> reptyle: options available are: mark messages, find ..., compact, subscribe, check mail, refresh, assign shortcut, expire, properties
[07:01] <reptyle> edgy, what's in properties?
[07:01] <kitche> kristian: probably the codec that the movie uses
[07:01] <tengil> a couple of weeks ago when i connected my psp with usb it automatically came up as a device. now it doesnt anymore. any ideas why. i know there has been a few kernel upgrades after that. could that be the reason?
[07:01] <kristian> well i have installed the codecs with automatix?
[07:02] <Frederick> does anyone here uses mingw?
[07:02] <arn1> could someone try once more time ftp://83.157.162.193 login =arnaud and password = aew7uhw
[07:02] <kitche> kristian: well the codecs might be acting funny while the movie plays it happens sometimes
[07:02] <edgy> reptyle: name, act on new/unread mail, include this folder, keep replies in this folder, show column, sender identity and access control
[07:02] <noiano> hello
[07:02] <noiano> does anybody of you use azureus?
[07:03] <tengil> i have tried it but it was quite a while ago
[07:03] <kitche> noiano: yes
[07:03] <AustLaw> is there a way to setup two gnome 'profiles' or somthing like that? I want to use a low res with little different layout when I connect remotly
[07:03] <kitche> tengil: yeah your problem might have to deal with a kernel upgrade
[07:03] <rshakin> hey ppl i cant seem to update my ubuntu install
[07:03] <tengil> kitche: and how should i solve this now. any ideas?
[07:04] <rshakin> there seems to be a problem with repositories
[07:04] <noiano> kitche can you tell me why I have to install mozilla broswer to use azureus?
[07:04] <kitche> tengil: I m not exactly sure but did you do a udev upgrade recently as well
[07:04] <AstralJava> rshakin: Why do you think that?
[07:04] <kitche> noiano: you shouldnt only dependencie that azureus has is Java
[07:05] <tengil> kitche: i dont all the upgrades ubuntu suggests....
[07:05] <noiano> yes but apt installs mozilla broswer
[07:05] <noiano> why
[07:05] <tengil> kitche: where dont=done
[07:05] <noiano> java is already installed!
[07:05] <albacker> guys why do i get a warning for all packagaes im installing that they can not be authenticated ?
[07:06] <albacker> WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
[07:06] <eyequeue> AustLaw, why not adduser?
[07:06] <eyequeue> albacker, man apt-key
[07:06] <max__> I'm installing Ubuntu and once it gets about like 6-8% it gives me the error. The debootstrap program exited with an error (return value 1). Check /target/var/log/bootstrap.log for the details. How do I fix this? (If it's any help I'm installing Breezy Badger)
[07:06] <kitche> tengil: look up psp udev rules that's probably your problem but in the mean tiem you can use mount manually
[07:06] <reptyle> edgy, I'm sorry but I just can't seem to find out if kmail even supports true offline mode for imap folders.
[07:07] <albacker> eyequeue, and how do i add files with apt-key ?
[07:07] <DanaG> argh.
[07:07] <AustLaw> seems like adding another user just to get a different gnome config is overkill
[07:07] <noiano> kitche...
[07:07] <DanaG> How do you set up gfxboot in Grub?
[07:07] <albacker> or should i do apt-key update : eyequeue
[07:07] <reptyle> DanaG, are you referring to a splash screen?
[07:07] <kitche> noiano: can't help you really, it probably how the package was built maybe it has a web browser plugin with it
[07:07] <DanaG> Grub theme.
[07:08] <jenda> Please help me make Gnomebaker burn ogg to audio CD? It says it needs a plugin.
[07:08] <noiano> and how did you manage?did you install azu under ubuntu?how?by apt?
[07:08] <WineO> I think I have a problem with my new mainboard (ASUS M2PVN-VM w AMD 64 X2) and ubuntu in that the onboard ethernet port doesn't seem to work.  Could be the "reverse engineerd" driver I guess (from dmesg: forcedeth.c: Reverse Engineered nForce ethernet driver. Version 0.54.) Where do I report this issue?
[07:08] <DanaG> I wish there were "widescreen-compensation" bootsplash themes:
[07:08] <tengil> kitche: how would i mount my psp and my camera then?
[07:09] <begginger> can someone confirm that  server version is not on official 6.06LTS CD
[07:09] <DanaG> 4:3 resolution themes that would be squished so they look CORRECT when stretched back to widescreen.
[07:09] <Vladi> hi, what is the best way to give someone sudo permissions to a single init.d script to start stop restart etc..?
[07:09] <kitche> tengil: well if their not plugged in at the same time you can do mount /dev/sda1
[07:09] <rshakin> AstralJava: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper-updates/restricted Packages [ERROR] 
[07:09] <rshakin>  Connection failed [IP: 146.137.96.7 80] 
[07:09] <kitche> noiano: I install azu bydownloading it from sourceforge
[07:10] <nosscire> Hey people, I need some URGENT help to get Ubuntu running on my new PC...
[07:10] <dmb> whats wrong?
[07:10] <reptyle> DagaZ, http://ruslug.rutgers.edu/~mcgrof/grub-images/  I believe that is what I used to create my own.
[07:10] <kitche> tengil: then to unmount it you would do umount /dev/sda1 once you move out of that directory
[07:10] <reptyle> woops
[07:10] <noiano> kitche i did the same but azu closes when I try to download something....
[07:10] <DanaG> There are gfxboot themes, but I don't see how to install them.
[07:10] <AstralJava> rshakin: us mirror has had some trouble sometimes, please try some other mirror or wait a bit.
[07:10] <nosscire> The PC has a Gforce 7900GT gfx card, and I cant get Xserver to work
[07:10] <tengil> kitche: sda1 is my hd
[07:11] <tengil> i guess its sda2 then
[07:11] <reptyle> DanaG, http://ruslug.rutgers.edu/~mcgrof/grub-images/ ... thats what I used when I did mine.
[07:11] <max__> I'm installing Ubuntu and once it gets about like 6-8% it gives me the error. The debootstrap program exited with an error (return value 1). Check /target/var/log/bootstrap.log for the details. How do I fix this? (If it's any help I'm installing Breezy Badger)
[07:11] <tim> hello
[07:11] <tim> you speak english or french ?
[07:11] <nosscire> Screen just get messed up, and I get a message telling me that somethings wrong with Xserver
[07:11] <kitche> tengil: yeah it would be didn't know you had SATA drives
[07:11] <tengil> kitche: it wasnt sda2 unfortunately
[07:11] <tengil> kitche: yeah i have one sata drive

[07:12] <kitche> tengil: hmm
[07:12] <tengil> ha nm
[07:12] <arn1> could someone try once more time ftp://83.157.162.193 login =arnaud and password = aew7uhw
[07:12] <tengil> its probably sda4 i have one to three as partitions. however i need to specify filesystem
[07:13] <Magicdead> max__: uhm and did you check /target/var/log/bootstrap.log ?
[07:13] <albacker> eyequeue, what to put into <KEY> ?
[07:13] <tengil> any idea what fs it would be on a sony psp and camera
[07:13] <kitche> tengil: ah ok it's vfat
[07:13] <Magicdead> yes vfat
[07:13] <eyequeue> albacker, whatever keyid you need
[07:13] <tengil> sda4 does not exist
[07:13] <Magicdead> just set up my psp again today
[07:13] <tengil> well i have to eat now but ill mess around with this later
[07:13] <ladydoor> tim: this is the english channel
[07:13] <eyequeue> albacker, 0xdeadbeef
[07:13] <albacker> eyequeue, i didn't need this on other ubuntu distros ?
[07:13] <ladydoor> !fr > time
[07:13] <tengil> thanks for the help so far
[07:13] <ladydoor> !fr > tim
[07:13] <eyequeue> albacker, less security in the past
[07:14] <Eftarjin> hi
[07:14] <begginger> where do i get an alternate cd?
[07:14] <arn1> someone's in who is it?
[07:14] <Eftarjin> i have I/O errors when accessing one directory of an ext2 partition. my i rescue data in it or are they lost ?
[07:14] <DanaG> hmm, this grub doesn't see "splashimage" as a valid command/
[07:14] <Shin_Gouki> hello there i got a question regarding the the upcoming ubuntu 6.10, is it true that Mono will be included by default?
[07:14] <albacker> eyequeue, do i need a different key for every package ?
[07:14] <DanaG> at least when under xterm.
[07:15] <JoseStefan> Shin_Gouki, #ubuntu+1
[07:15] <eyequeue> albacker, no, per-repo
[07:15] <kitche> DanaG: is the grub patched?
[07:15] <Magicdead> Eftarjin: you could unmount the drive and run fsck and then look if anything shows up in your lost+found folder
[07:15] <ladydoor> DanaG: i think you need to reconfigure usplash in order to get a new splash image
[07:15] <eyequeue> Shin_Gouki, wrong channel
[07:15] <nosscire> Please, has someone got ubuntu and Xserver working with a Geforce 7900GT card?
[07:15] <albacker> eyequeue, hmm, so is that deadbeef real or it was an example ?
[07:15] <eyequeue> !edgy > Shin_Gouki
[07:15] <arn1> ???
[07:15] <noiano> nobody has a clue on my problem?
[07:15] <Eftarjin> Magicdead: thanks
[07:15] <eyequeue> albacker, example of the hex format
[07:16] <eyequeue> albacker, 0x01234567
[07:16] <Magicdead> Eftarjin: but make sure the drive ain't mounted, otherwhise fsck could do more damage than it helps
[07:16] <albacker> eyequeue, and where do i find these keys ?
[07:16] <Shin_Gouki> ok thx gyus
[07:16] <arn1> noiano are you in?
[07:16] <noiano> no arn1
[07:16] <DanaG> Hmm, I just had a thought: maybe it looks better with Grub as text-only.
[07:16] <noiano> unable to access the folder?
[07:16] <DanaG> But I still need to find a widescreen-compensating usplash theme.
[07:17] <eyequeue> albacker, whoever publishes the repo should also publish the key they use to sign Releases.gpg
[07:17] <DanaG> Either that, or somehow magically get a widescreen vesafb mode.
[07:17] <albacker> eyequeue, ok thanks.
[07:17] <reptyle> DanaG, you could always write a patch for grub :), it only supports one mode and 4:3 at that.
[07:18] <DanaG> Yeah, text-mode is better for Grub.
[07:19] <DanaG> I just wish my notebook BIOS would let me TURN OFF lcd image stretching.
[07:19] <nosscire> Guess i'll give it one more try in here... Anyone know what can be wrong when Xserver doesn't work with Nvidia Geforce 7900GT card? When it wont start at all and just give me an error message?
[07:19] <arn1> could someone try once more time ftp://83.157.162.193 login =arnaud and password = aew7uhw
[07:19] <sda> Hi. I need some package-advice. For my education I need to learn/user LaTeX, but there are so many packages to choose from. Which one is recommended?
[07:21] <Deramin> I'm currently running Breezy Badger and I can't update to the latest OS. It shows up in the auto-update thing, but won't install. any idea why?
[07:22] <Glombool> Does anyone happen to know if Qemu accelerator is available for Ubuntu?
[07:22] <cliffd> can anyone explain to me the "style" setting under sessions preferences for gnome-panel? my panel icons wont stay where I put them.
[07:22] <juan> erm i have a few general problems with ubuntu, is anybody about that knows anything about the booting system
[07:22] <richiefrich> juan whats wrong
[07:22] <DanaG> Heck, my session won't even save properly.
[07:22] <DanaG> It always goes back to one session I saved a while ago.
[07:22] <richiefrich> juan  do u mean grub
[07:22] <richiefrich> juan or the init
[07:23] <Glombool> !dvd
[07:23] <ubotu> See http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html. Libdvdcss can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[07:23] <ladydoor> Deramin: you need to use the -d (or was it -D? anybody?) option when running update-manager
[07:23] <Glombool> !qemu
[07:23] <ubotu> qemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo
[07:23] <eyequeue> !update
[07:23] <ubotu> Upgrading to Ubuntu 5.10 breezy -> http://help.ubuntu.com/community/BreezyUpgrade  Upgrading to Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DapperUpgrades  Note: gksudo "update-manager -d" always updates to the latest development version.
[07:23] <cliffd> DanaG: yeah its making me very mad. its almost un usable. I put my icons where I want them and then when I reboot or log back in the panel just randomly puts the icons all over the place.
[07:23] <juan> in the list when i turn on i get 3 sets of linux <version numer here> then the same but safe mode, is this suposed to be like that
[07:23] <sakira> hola
[07:23] <kitche> arn1: I just get a connection timeout
[07:23] <Deramin> ladydoor, could you elaborate on that?
[07:23] <juan> imk not sure how do i find out which im using
[07:23] <ladydoor> juan: sounds about right
[07:23] <cliffd> juan: those are all the versions of your kernel.
[07:24] <juan> but all the version numbers are the same
[07:24] <eyequeue> ladydoor, -d
[07:24] <AustLaw> is samba used to access files on a windows machine from linux?
[07:24] <richiefrich> juan thats grub menu
[07:24] <ladydoor> Deramin: when you run update manager, i think there's supposed to be an option to run it like so:  update-manager -d
[07:24] <cliffd> one is restore mode and one is memtest juan?
[07:24] <ladydoor> eyequeue: thanks
[07:24] <richiefrich> juan  u can edit that ..
[07:24] <roostishaw> is there a doom game for linux? if so is there a package in the repos?
[07:24] <ladydoor> Deramin: which will indicate to it to do a dist-upgrade
[07:24] <NotWired> is there any way to find out if something with the Gaim in ubuntu has changed over the last 2 days?
[07:24] <Deramin> ah. ok. thank you
[07:24] <ladydoor> Deramin: you'll need to run it with <alt>f2
[07:24] <eyequeue> !info doom
[07:24] <ubotu> Package doom does not exist in any distro I know
[07:24] <juan> yeah i have normal restore normal restore normal restore memtest windows
[07:24] <sakira> hola
[07:24] <richiefrich> juan  /boot/grub/menu/lst
[07:25] <richiefrich> juan  /boot/grub/menu.lst
[07:25] <NotWired> since yesterday, i can't connect using the socks5 settings to msn... it works outside of socks5
[07:25] <eyequeue> roostishaw, <ubotu> Package doom does not exist in any distro I know
[07:25] <Magicdead> roostishaw: there IS doom for linux (doom 1-3) but due to copyright reasons it's not in the repository, you need to find somewhere else to download it
[07:25] <richiefrich> NotWired for what gaim >
[07:25] <NotWired> the one which ubuntu...
[07:25] <Magicdead> roostishaw: only linux distro i know that has doom is gentoo, with emerge
[07:25] <roostishaw> Magicdead, thank you
[07:25] <NotWired> 1.5.1cvs i guess
[07:25] <richiefrich> that is ?
[07:25] <JoseStefan> !doom3 > roostishaw
[07:25] <richiefrich> NotWired is it gaim ?
[07:25] <Magicdead> roostishaw: and that only because no one can prohibit source code
[07:26] <NotWired> richiefrich, yes
[07:26] <richiefrich> NotWired well msn breaks it sometimes..   gaim needs to keep fixing it
[07:26] <WineO> During boot, I get this message "Driver 'sd' needs updating - please use bus_type methods"  What does it mean and how do I fix it?
[07:26] <kitche> roostishaw: think you can find doom at sourceforge well a source version of it
[07:26] <JoseStefan> doom3 works fine on linux
[07:26] <DanaG> I get the same.
[07:26] <DanaG> "sd"
[07:26] <JoseStefan> and for older versions, you could try dooomsdayhq.com
[07:26] <richiefrich> NotWired there is  no answer really msn doesnt like linux
[07:27] <NotWired> richiefrich, would the settings for using a socks server or not affect that?
[07:27] <JoseStefan> correction: doomsdayhq.com
[07:27] <DanaG> !doom3 > DanaG
[07:27] <richiefrich> NotWired  it could be the protocal
[07:27] <NotWired> richiefrich, because if i just use the no proxy connection that works fine... but i can't do that from work :-)
[07:28] <richiefrich> NotWired  then your proxy seems  b0rked
[07:28] <Magicdead> NotWired: is it only in gaim, or in amsn as well?
[07:28] <richiefrich> NotWired i know very little of proxies
[07:28] <kitche> well gaim crashing with msn right now
[07:28] <NotWired> Magicdead, just gaim... msn works fine in winblows with the proxy
[07:28] <eyequeue> NotWired, have you asked your IT people?  many ban such connections
[07:29] <Magicdead> NotWired: i said aMSN, which would be another linux msn client
[07:29] <NotWired> eyequeue, i'm using an open port and proxy
[07:29] <Deramin> ladydoor, I'm still unclear on how to run the installer. I tried <alt>F2, but it doesn't show up on the menu, and I'm not sure what it's called
[07:29] <NotWired> Magicdead, aahhhhh lemme try that!!
[07:29] <kitche> NotWired: well in windows gaim crashes if you try msn connecton
[07:29] <kitche> so I take it linux probably would also
[07:29] <cliffd> !xgl > cliffd
[07:29] <eyequeue> NotWired, open proxy? :(  i'd ban you if i was your IT department
[07:29] <Magicdead> NotWired: amsn is msn only, but it's more like original msn, more functions and stuff, so if amsn would work, that would be some sort of solution :)
[07:30] <max__> I'm installing Ubuntu and once it gets about like 6-8% it gives me the error. The debootstrap program exited with an error (return value 1). Check /target/var/log/bootstrap.log for the details. How do I fix this? (If it's any help I'm installing Breezy Badger)
[07:30] <NotWired> kitche, it worked before i did apt-get update on monday :-)
[07:30] <NotWired> eyequeue, good thing i don't work in your company then! :-)
[07:30] <eyequeue> NotWired, heh
[07:30] <ladydoor> Deramin: gksudo update-manager -d

[07:31] <ubotu> You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DialupModemHowto
[07:31] <NotWired> eyequeue, be on the lookout for loophole software then... i connect to a proxy at home using port 443
[07:31] <richiefrich> !upstart
[07:31] <juan> thanks for the help richie, how do i save the changes do i need to run mousepad using sudo

[07:32] <richiefrich> juan  if your on gnome use gedit
[07:32] <richiefrich> juan u need to be root
[07:33] <Magicdead> Dvice: there are several softwares, but none of them is useable, at leats last time i checked, most of them weren't very functional
[07:33] <juan> root? asin login again?

[07:34] <DanaG> I can in XP, but not in Linux (stupid Motorola -- drivers for Linux, but only 2.4 kernel!)
[07:34] <kitche> DanaG: some winmodems aren't winmodems anymore some still don't have a driver for linux

[07:34] <ravenous> does anyone know of an irc client that will tile multiple windows in its main window, ala mirc?
[07:35] <richiefrich> ravenous irssi
[07:35] <kitche> ravenous: xchat, irssi
[07:35] <richiefrich> kitche when will xchat do that
[07:35] <ravenous> xchat wont, i should have said 'GUI' as well, i know irssi will
[07:35] <eclapton> Well I have a Dapper Live CD  6.06, but the installer doesn't work, it just crashes ... anyone to tell me how to download the installer, or how to use synaptic to update from my Breezy badger???
[07:36] <eyequeue> eclapton, 6.06.1
[07:36] <wastrel> how do i install a new font on breezy?
[07:36] <jrib> !upgrade > eclapton
[07:36] <richiefrich> ravenous i know xchat wont...  but maybe bitchX
[07:36] <jrib> !fonts > wastrel
[07:36] <kitche> richiefrich: most irc clients work like xchat for gui
[07:36] <eyequeue> eclapton, 6.06 had an installer bug, use the alternate cd if you like though, or use 6,06,1 if you want the livecd
[07:36] <ravenous> thats all cli ;)
[07:36] <tengil> how do you get multiple windows in one window with irssi?
[07:36] <eyequeue> !alternate > eclapton
[07:36] <ravenous> i want a gui one that will do it, so i can click from one channel to the next
[07:37] <richiefrich> kitche xchat doesnt tile
[07:37] <Magicdead> Dvice: http://dvdauthor.sourceforge.net/ <-- i think there's also a front-end, qdvdauthor
[07:37] <eyequeue> tengil, /help window
[07:37] <ravenous> i dont want to have to use keyboard shortcuts to switch channels ;/
[07:37] <Jack_Sparrow> Konversation has tabs for each room
[07:37] <Dvice> thanks! I'll try it!
[07:37] <aytch> ubuntu-desktop can't install because evince can't install because libploppl-glib won't install because of a .01 version number or something
[07:37] <Magicdead> Dvice: look on that webpage, under "front ends"
[07:37] <hardous666> slt
[07:37] <jrib> tengil: f0rked.com/articles/irssisplit is a good guide
[07:37] <tjb> Would it make any difference if I were to attach my USB modem while installing Ubuntu?
[07:37] <Magicdead> Dvice: there's all 3 programs listed
 richiefrich: most irc clients work like xchat for gui  <-- not true
[07:38] <kitche> ravenous: use boxedirc or a mirc clone that's the onyl way you will get something that will act like mirc since most gui irc clients act like xchat
[07:38] <tjb> i.e. would that make it work 'out of the box'?
[07:38] <kitche> richiefrich: for me every irc client for linux that is gui acts just like xchat well the major irc chat clients
[07:38] <richiefrich> kitche then u havent tried ALOT
[07:38] <Magicdead> Dvice: dvdstyler is the one that looks best, but most of the buttons in that programm actually do nothing except giving you some popup "to be implemented"
[07:39] <Dvice> Magicdead, I'm on it, thanks again
[07:39] <ravenous> boy thats dissapointment, switching tabs 20 times a half an hour to keep track of channels is awful
[07:39] <kitche> ravenous: then liek I said use boxed irc or a mirc clone
[07:39] <richiefrich> or go back to windlows
[07:39] <kitche> ravenous: that's the only oens that I know that does tile windows, liek you want
[07:40] <eclapton> eyequeue: -- Sorry, didnt explain well the problem : m working on 56kb modem, dont wanna download a iso... the Live CD it was shipit who did ship it?
[07:40] <jrib> ravenous: you can open rooms in new windows with xchat though
[07:40] <eyequeue> eclapton, ah
[07:40] <richiefrich> rooms?
[07:40] <ravenous> but you have to switch between them then
[07:40] <ravenous> thats the point
[07:40] <richiefrich> there called channels
[07:40] <eyequeue> eclapton, you hve unfortunately been bitten by that known bug
[07:40] <kitche> ravenous: well tile windows you still have to switch between them
[07:41] <jrib> richiefrich: right
[07:41] <kitche> ravenous: unless you mean one window for all the channel your in
[07:41] <AustLaw> is there a way to add a prompt to the file browser? so that I can just run a command from the folder im looking at?
[07:41] <richiefrich> no no he means tiled
[07:41] <ravenous> kitche; you can see all the windows your in though, and if set right a mouse over switches between which ones your writing text it
[07:41] <richiefrich> and thats still switching
[07:41] <earthian> hello agaom
[07:42] <earthian> again
[07:42] <earthian> \o/
[07:42] <Magicdead> by the way, does anyone know how i can get gnome/xserver to allow me to move windows between my to screens? (2nd screen would be my tv) like open a video on my pc monitor and then drag&drop it to the tv screen
[07:42] <JoseStefan> AustLaw, there is a way to add an "open terminal here"
[07:42] <richiefrich> ravenous then juct click the new tab
[07:42] <earthian> i successfully installed ubuntu on a raid device
[07:42] <eyequeue> eclapton, your options are the ones i mentioned, or possiby d/ling the server cd and then "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" after, but that still uses bandwidth
[07:42] <eclapton> just one moment, have to cut
[07:42] <AustLaw> JoseStefan: how can I do that?
[07:42] <earthian> now i need my gfx card to be installed
[07:42] <richiefrich> ravenous  or learn irssi
[07:42] <eyequeue> eclapton, i don't know where you live, but perhaps an internet cafe could prove useful?
[07:42] <JoseStefan> AustLaw, install nautilus-open-terminal
[07:42] <earthian> i have radeon x850xt agp and my resolution does not go more than 640x480 and the refresh rate is somehow negative?
[07:43] <earthian> could someone help me resolve this?
[07:43] <WineO> At boot-up I get a weird message: " Driver 'sd' needs updating - please use bus_type methods"  What does this mean and how do I fix it?
[07:43] <ravenous> meh i guess im asking too much of an irc client for linux ;/
[07:43] <earthian> can someone tell my if i need a driver or what?
[07:43] <kitche> ravenous: use boxed irc or find another mirc clone there is tons of them but then you probably have to compile it
[07:43] <jrib> !ati > earthian
[07:43] <richiefrich> ravenous no your not. we have "one" that i know of irssi

[07:43] <reptyle> meh... bitchx .. :)
[07:44] <Laibsch> Does anybody here use dovecot?  I cannot seem to get it to work on ubuntu where it worked without a hitch on my Debian system.
[07:44] <AustLaw> thanks, anyone know how to reduce the size of the massive main toolbar buttons? (back forward up etc)?
[07:44] <Deramin> ladydoor, I've executed the command (I think) and it downloaded the update. I've gotten this far before. The problem i'm having is that after the update has downloaded, I can't for the life of me figure out how to install it. And thank you for your help, btw.
[07:44] <reptyle> Laibsch, I use dovecot, but its on our debian server :)
[07:45] <ladydoor> Deramin: shouldn't it install automatically?
[07:45] <jrib> AustLaw: system > prefreences > menu and toolbar
[07:45] <ladydoor> Deramin: i thought that was what update-manager was for
[07:45] <jman8888> How can i set up a Triple Boot? (Windows - Ubuntu - Linspire? )
[07:45] <tainted_> what's a good winamp like player for ubuntu/linux
[07:45] <Deramin> ladydoor, that's what I'd think, but it isn't going automatically.
[07:45] <richiefrich> jman8888 grub..
[07:45] <jrib> tainted_: beep media player
[07:45] <tainted_> will it play streaming audio
[07:46] <ladydoor> Deramin: weird. i'm sorry, you're going to have to ask this one out loud.
[07:46] <jman8888> richiefrich: But how? And in what order?
[07:46] <richiefrich> tainted_ audacious
[07:46] <jman8888> tainted_: amarok
[07:46] <Deramin> ladydoor, alright, thanks anyway
[07:46] <jrib> tainted_: I never tried with streaming audio, I just use mplayer for that
[07:46] <Laibsch> reptyle: Well, dovecot seemed to be easier on Debian ;-)
[07:46] <richiefrich> tainted_ and yes it will play what ever you want
[07:46] <Skyrail> At the moment I only use Ubuntu on a live CD so I can't modify anything D:
[07:46] <tainted_> i just want to play shoutcast streams
[07:46] <kitche> tainted-: think banshee can do streaming audio as well
[07:46] <richiefrich> jman8888 /boot/grb/menu.lst
[07:46] <AustLaw> jrib: that alowed me to remove the text, is it possible to reduce their size also?
[07:46] <richiefrich> jman8888 /boot/grub/menu.lst
[07:46] <ladydoor> ravenous: i think that irssi has an option to have everything in one. i could be wrong, but it's possible
[07:47] <Magicdead> jman8888: you can insert boot stuff in grub, just google for grub + os you want to add, should earn you some howtos
[07:47] <richiefrich> ladydoor u are correct
[07:47] <ProN00b> does anyone know a good gui ftp client for linux ?
[07:47] <jman8888> Is there like some kinda Triple boot guide somewhere. Im not too good with dualboots...
[07:47] <Deramin> anyone know why the lates Ubuntu release will download to my machine from the update manager, but not automatically install?
[07:47] <Magicdead> ProN00b: gftp?
[07:47] <Deramin> ~latest
[07:47] <richiefrich> !grub
[07:47] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[07:47] <jrib> AustLaw: I don't know.  It /may/ be possible by creating a new theme or editing one
[07:47] <richiefrich> ^^ jman8888
[07:47] <jman8888> Magicdead: But i want a triple boot. Ive never seen a guide to do that.
[07:48] <richiefrich> jman8888 u can add  as many as you want
[07:48] <ProN00b> Magicdead, isn't that crappy ?
[07:48] <AustLaw> jrib: do you know where the default place for themes are?
[07:48] <ranpha> He, can you change your gnome so that you can get those very funky and cool shells?
[07:48] <Magicdead> jman8888: uhm, you just make an entry for windows and then you make an entry for linspire ?
[07:48] <richiefrich> jman8888 15 if you like
[07:48] <Magicdead> ProN00b: dunno, works fine for me
[07:48] <eyequeue> jman8888, i did it with fbsd/obsd/debian, google for "triple boot grub ubuntu" i'd say
[07:48] <jman8888> Magicdead: I already see myself having problems.
[07:48] <richiefrich> jman8888 why
[07:48] <michaels_> is there any good way to get amaroK 1.4.2 on regular Dapper?
[07:48] <jrib> AustLaw: ~/.themes/ for your personal stuff.  /usr/share/themes/ is the system wide stuff.  You should edit the themes in /usr/share/themes/, instead just copy the files to ~/.themes and work with it there.  There is an intro to creating themes on art.gnome.org
[07:49] <ProN00b> Magicdead, but can't you see its mighty crap
[07:49] <richiefrich> jman8888 you have no confidenbce

[07:49] <no0tic> I'm trying to use a remote for my laptop, I installed lirc but I need to configure it, irrecord tells me it can't init the hardware, what can I do?
[07:49] <jrib> AustLaw: I mean't _shouldn't_ edit the themes in /usr/share/themes/
[07:49] <AustLaw> jrib: ok, thanks
[07:49] <jman8888> richiefrich: Because i tried it before with Windows2000 and messed it up. I got it fixed but i dont know if i could do triple.
[07:49] <Magicdead> ProN00b: it lets you browse directories and download stuff... what more could you want from an ftp client ^^ but if you wanna be leet, use the console "ftp" command ;)
[07:50] <eyequeue> michaels_, with an edgy deb-src line, "apt-get -b source amarok"
[07:50] <richiefrich> jman8888 u make new entries
[07:50] <Deramin> jman8888, did you install windows first that time? Because Windows alwasy has to be first
[07:50] <eyequeue> michaels_, does that explain it or do you need more?
[07:50] <ProN00b> Magicdead, well, maybe not looking like it was slapped together in 5 minutes ?
[07:50] <richiefrich> jman8888 how hard is that
[07:50] <michaels_> eyequeue: a bit more I guess, too newb to get my head around that
[07:50] <jman8888> Ok. I guess i can try.
[07:50] <tjb> I'm installing Ubuntu.  I'm on the partitioning screen.  It talks about resizing hda1 (my Windows partition).  It then says 'New partition size:' next to a slider.  Does this mean the size of hda1, or the size of the partition it's going to create?
[07:50] <richiefrich> Deramin doesnt have to
[07:51] <Magicdead> jman8888: if you installed windows first, grub eben automatically makes a boot entry for windows ;)
[07:51] <Tirno> Hi. I've just moved from hoary to breezy (yeah, I know, I'm very far behind) I have a Swiss French keyboard. According to the layout previews, the Swiss French layout should be right. In practice, it behaves like the Swiss German layout though
[07:51] <richiefrich> Deramin  you could install grub twice
[07:51] <Magicdead> *even
[07:51] <jman8888> What is the best way to partition my drive? (80 Gig) i want minimum space for XP (I use it like once a month)
[07:51] <Deramin> richiefrich, in my experience Windows kills any other operating system on the machine when it installs. =/
[07:51] <eyequeue> michaels_, okay, /etc/apt/sources.list has deb and deb-src lines ... you want to add one for edgy, source-only ... then you "sudo apt-get update" to use the new change
[07:51] <sethk> Deramin, that's not true
[07:52] <richiefrich> jman8888 if you  know the  ROOT  /dev    and where the /boot /dev is and if you know the kernel name your golden
[07:52] <kristian> no not i have a partion for both of the os'es
[07:52] <Magicdead> Deramin: it just kills the boot record on the primary hard disc
[07:52] <richiefrich> Deramin as i said then you install grub again
[07:52] <aytch> could anyone tell me if there is a significant difference between installing "gnome-desktop" and "ubuntu-desktop"?
[07:52] <eyequeue> michaels_, then, "apt-get -b source amarok" says "build me a deb from source, of amarok" and uses the edgy sources
[07:52] <jman8888> richiefrich: I was hoping i just needed to know the name of the os.
[07:52] <richiefrich> jman8888 no
[07:53] <richiefrich> jman8888  you know you files.. /dev's i dont
[07:53] <J_P> hey all, are there some graphical app for pppoeconf ?
[07:53] <jman8888> So what would the linspire /dev and Kernel?
[07:53] <eyequeue> michaels_, when you're all done, you "sudo dpkg -i amarok*.deb" to install what you just built
[07:53] <michaels_> eyequeue: and will this stop upgrade-manager from giving me newer version later as they appear on the Dapper repos?
[07:53] <richiefrich> jman8888 where did you install it
[07:54] <jman8888> I didnt install yet. I was getting my info beforehand. SO i would now the best order to install in.
[07:54] <covOPprometheus> how can I open the trashcan as su?
[07:54] <jman8888> Im using live cd now
[07:54] <Docmur> okay so how would a 5200 FX compair to a 9600SE
[07:54] <Docmur> in linux
[07:54] <eyequeue> michaels_, the edgy version will be larger numerically than the older dapper versions, and the dapper stuff will never exceed it
[07:54] <richiefrich> jman8888 then you need to install it
[07:54] <Magicdead> michaels_: you could lock the current version in synaptic, to make completely sure it never gets updated
[07:54] <LordSkylark> hello everyone =)
[07:55] <eyequeue> michaels_, this is potentially difficult or confusing for an ubuntu newbie, so don't feel bad it semi-lost
[07:55] <richiefrich> jman8888 i cant say well use these lines-- > kernel kernel-2.18 root=/dev/sdc2
[07:55] <tjb> I'm installing Ubuntu.  I'm on the partitioning screen.  It talks about resizing hda1 (my Windows partition).  It then says 'New partition size:' next to a slider.  Does this mean the size of hda1, or the size of the partition it's going to create?
[07:55] <richiefrich> jman8888 thats just dumb... you need to install it 1st
[07:55] <LordSkylark> how to change splash screen on boot?
[07:55] <jman8888> richiefrich: Ok i will install Windows , Then Linspire, Then will come here to ask how to get Ubuntu. Ubuntu always seemed good with other os's. I will be asking you what to do.
[07:55] <erUSUL> tjb: i understand the size of the new partition
[07:55] <eyequeue> michaels_,  if semi-lost
[07:55] <michaels_> eyequeue: it's not all that confusing, I basically understood right away but wanted to get a clearer undestanding.
[07:55] <earthian> how to enable internet connection over pppoe sharing in ubuntu ???
[07:55] <richiefrich> jman8888 ok just know the /dev
[07:56] <richiefrich> jman8888 i can whip you up one
[07:56] <erUSUL> !firestarter > earthian
[07:56] <michaels_> eyequeue: and to add the edgy repo, I just add "edgy" to the archive.ubuntu source repo line in sources.list?
[07:56] <earthian> :)
[07:56] <richiefrich> jman8888 and i need the kernel names and the initd
[07:56] <LordSkylark> hey guys
[07:56] <covOPprometheus> how can I open the trashcan as su? hehe comeon guys, 800+ users, one should know
[07:56] <eyequeue> michaels_, glad you asked then :)  i'll tach you a little trick:   man apt-get, then it will explain the -d source part, same for any command
[07:56] <LordSkylark> no1 knows the answer to my question? :P
[07:57] <eclapton-itsme-> - so: trapped with a buggy 6.06 Dapper CD, and no -usable- internet connection. Isn't it easyer to download the installer??, where is it?? Anyone? Thaaannnks
[07:57] <richiefrich> covOPprometheus in a term you can
[07:57] <eyequeue> michaels_, no no no ... we have to be careful on this part :)
[07:57] <jman8888> Goodbye im off to try to tri-boot.
[07:57] <Docmur> so should I get a 5200 FX or a 9600 SE ???? Can someone help
[07:57] <Lynoure> !splash
[07:57] <ubotu> To change the Gnome splash screen, open the gconf-editor and change the key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash-image.
[07:57] <michaels_> eyequeue: so how do I do it?
[07:57] <pip> hello,how to install gcc ?
[07:57] <eyequeue> michaels_, deb blahblah, you do NOT want an edgy line there!
[07:57] <erUSUL> !grub > LordSkylark
[07:57] <Magicdead> covOPprometheus: isn't that just the .Trash directory in the corresponding users homedirectory? so shouldn't be that hard, either /home/<user>/.Trash or /root/.Trash
[07:57] <richiefrich> pip essential-builds essuntial-tools
[07:57] <pip> the command please
[07:57] <eyequeue> michaels_, dec-src blahblah, you DO want an edgy line there
[07:58] <erUSUL> LordSkylark: the last link of the ubotu msg
[07:58] <richiefrich> pip one of them
[07:58] <richiefrich> !gcc
[07:58] <covOPprometheus> Magicdead, let me check
[07:58] <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!)
[07:58] <pip> thanks
[07:58] <michaels_> eyequeue:  oh, I only want a src...edgy line?
[07:58] <eyequeue> michaels_, otherwuse you'll end up with a broken edgy machine, heh
[07:58] <michaels_> oh oops, got it
[07:58] <LordSkylark> erUSUL: thanx but i mean the splash screen on boot, not the grub one
[07:58] <michaels_> misread the second one
[07:58] <richiefrich> covOPprometheus as i said you can in a terminal
[07:59] <eyequeue> michaels_, you don't want all the billion edgy debs until they are released, not in development :)
[07:59] <LordSkylark> i installed pakage kubuntu-desktop and now on but i get kubuntu logo instead of ubuntu one
[07:59] <richiefrich> covOPprometheus did you del something ?
[07:59] <LordSkylark> even uninstalling those pakage wont turn the ubuntu logo back
[07:59] <LordSkylark> =(
[07:59] <eyequeue> michaels_, "deb-src" lines are really pretty much only used by the "apt-get -b source foo" command
[07:59] <michaels_> eyequeue:  so I add edgy to one of the archive.ubuntu deb-src lines, at the end, regardless of what other things are after the server address?
[08:00] <infidel> !lotus notes
[08:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lotus notes - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:00] <eclapton-itsme-> eyequeue- so: trapped with a buggy 6.06 Dapper CD, and no -usable- internet connection. Isn't it easyer to download the installer??, where is it?? Anyone? Thaaannnks

[08:00] <infidel> anyone know anything about lotus notes?
[08:00] <eyequeue> eyequeue, well, if you already have deb-src lines, i would suggest merely changing the word "dapper" to "edgy" in the one you want
[08:00] <jman8888> hey im that guy who wants to triple boot.
[08:00] <covOPprometheus> Magicdead, richieefrich:  yes I deleted something, and I found the .Trash how was the delete command in term? dl?
[08:01] <eyequeue> michaels_,  well, if you already have deb-src lines, i would suggest merely changing the word "dapper" to "edgy" in the one you want
[08:01] <Magicdead> covOPprometheus: rm
[08:01] <erUSUL> LordSkylark: i have a Sytem>Preferences>Splash Screen not sure how it ended up there though
[08:01] <infidel> hey i'm that guy that just wants to use ubuntu
[08:01] <michaels_> got it eyequeue
[08:01] <covOPprometheus> Magicdead, richieefrich:  thanks
[08:01] <Magicdead> covOPprometheus: or rm -R for a directory (and it's contents)
[08:01] <richiefrich> ^^
[08:01] <michaels_> thanks eyequeue
[08:01] <LordSkylark> i dont have it =|
[08:01] <LordSkylark> mmmmh
[08:01] <eyequeue> eclapton, you might be able to use "debootstrap" for it, but it would be up to someone else to explain how, sorry
[08:01] <LordSkylark> will search for it XD
[08:01] <LOLZebra> hello
[08:01] <erUSUL> LordSkylark: gnome-splashscreen-manager
[08:02] <LordSkylark> oh
[08:02] <LordSkylark> tnx =)
[08:02] <erUSUL> LordSkylark: no problem
[08:02] <eyequeue> eclapton, but ... i think that relies heavily on a net connection too
[08:02] <LordSkylark> ^^
[08:02] <DanaG> I tried Edgy.
[08:02] <tjb> erUSUL: is this documented anywhere?
[08:02] <eclapton> eyequeue thanks a lot --- think its time to pay for an ADSL
[08:03] <DanaG> It didn't work for me -- gnome-settings-daemon would either _not start_ or _start and eat my CPU_
[08:03] <eyequeue> eclapton, yeah, or even an hour at some cafe, heh
[08:03] <LordSkylark> erUSUL: do you know also which pakage contains kwikdisk? i cant find it anymore
[08:03] <iratik> I need help on permissions. I am tired of having to go into root just to cd into a certain directory - it has the permissions drwxrwxr-- and is owned by www-data:www-data and i'm not root but i do have administrative privileges. Why does it give me permission denied when I try to cd to that directory?
[08:03] <itsmegb> LordSkylark: sudo update-alternatives --configure usplash-artwork.so
[08:03] <tjb> Has anyone installed Ubuntu as a dual-boot?  I can't figure out what one of the dialogs means.
[08:03] <itsmegb> LordSkylark: then sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-`uname -r`
[08:03] <eyequeue> !rootsudo > iratik
[08:03] <Magicdead> iratik: you gotta add your user to the www-data group
[08:03] <tkup> hmm where can I get proftpd from?
[08:04] <jrib> iratik: you need executable permissions to cd into a directory
[08:04] <LOLZebra> don't know
[08:04] <itsmegb> should put the original ubuntu boot screen
[08:04] <eyequeue> iratik, you shouldn't be "going into root" at all
[08:04] <iratik> Magicdead: ah! , alright, so which one is it - how do I add my user to the www-data group. And why do I have to do chmod 777 just to be able to cd into a directory
[08:04] <nosscire> Could anyone tell me how to install the nvidia driver without having access to the graphical interface?
[08:04] <LordSkylark> tnx itsmegb =)
[08:04] <LordSkylark> will try it
[08:05] <eyequeue> iratik, "sudp adduser iratik www-data" to do what Magicdead suggested, btw
[08:05] <wastrel> i'm making mailing labels in openoffice
[08:05] <itsmegb> LordSkylark: pleasure, had that problem myself
[08:05] <eclapton> eyequeue - just as a note - this is war! been using linux since RH 6.2, and the help irc channels werent this... windy... uauh
[08:05] <iratik> thanks
[08:05] <eyequeue> iratik, sudo, not "sudp" of course
[08:05] <|thunder> nosscire, sudo apt-get install nvidia-kernel-common nvidia-glx , then change "nv" to in xorg.conf
[08:05] <Magicdead> iratik: cause the modes are owner-group-everybody else, and 777 alows everything for everybody
[08:06] <iratik> I know thats horribly insecure (we just got hacked cuz of it, but then i disabled ssh) . but I couldn't figure out any other way of making everything work
[08:06] <eyequeue> eclapton, lol, 854 in here now :)  it can be a zoo, i'll bet it's getting worse in the future too, sigh
[08:06] <iratik> whats the number for x and r  without w
[08:06] <tkup> damn I can't find proftpd in the repository. any idea where to get it from?
[08:06] <erUSUL> LordSkylark: no sorry
[08:06] <iratik> It shouldn't be so bad if people can read and execute but not write to
[08:06] <eyequeue> iratik, 777 is dangerous, and not the way to handle it
[08:06] <Magicdead> iratik: ah and about why you can't enter the directory, you need to have x (execute) as well to list a directorie's contents afaik, r only allows you to read files inside the directory, but doesn't let you cd there
[08:07] <erUSUL> tjb: ??
[08:07] <jrib> iratik: 1 = x, 2 = w, 4 = r
[08:07] <no0tic> anyone could help me with remote controls?
[08:07] <eyequeue> iratik, 775 seems to be what you want
[08:07] <LordSkylark> erUSUL: np =)
[08:07] <tjb> erUSUL: I still don't know for sure what 'new partition size' refers to.
[08:07] <iratik> eyequeue: thanks
[08:07] <Jimmey> I've got a nVidia TNT2 card installed at the moment, with the nvidia-glx-legacy drivers working. I'm planning to replace it tomorrow with a GeForce - What will happen?
[08:07] <tjb> erUSUL: Are you sure it's the partition-to-be-created and not the new size of the old partition?
[08:07] <michaels_> eyequeue: after running apt-get -b source, I got errors saying it couldn't find the command "dpkg-source"
[08:07] <srccode> it will melt !
[08:07] <WineO> At boot-up I get a weird message: " Driver 'sd' needs updating - please use bus_type methods"  What does this mean and how do I fix it?
[08:08] <eyequeue> michaels_, ahh, sudo apt-get install build-essential, it will grap what you need to compile a deb
[08:08] <tjb> erUSUL: To reword, are you sure that it's the size of the new partition and not the new size of the old partition?
[08:08] <J_P> hey all, are there some graphical app for pppoeconf ?
[08:08] <erUSUL> tjb: neither i, i installed my ubuntu way back in the times of warty in pre-made partitions...
[08:08] <Magicdead> Jimmey: it should still work afaik
[08:08] <tjb> Surely someone knows this?
[08:08] <michaels_> okay eyequeue thx
[08:08] <eyequeue> J_P, gedit? ;)
[08:08] <tjb> Why would they create something so obviously ambiguous?
[08:08] <eclapton> eyequeue - well, if people continues to say 'thanks' at the end, its not so bad... but it would be better if they read a little bit more... its pc problems yo have to read :D
[08:08] <atomic0x> has anyone had problems with gEDA gschem crashing?
[08:08] <tjb> Without documenting it?
[08:08] <michaels_> eyequeue: will I have to run the whole apt-get -b source thing again after?
[08:09] <nosscire> |thunder, should I change to "nv" or from "nv"?
[08:09] <eyequeue> J_P, (humour, ignore that)
[08:09] <erUSUL> tjb: no i'm not sure. i said that i understand, the way you phrased it, that they were refering to the new partition... but i do not know for sure
[08:09] <Jimmey> Magicdead, I know that I will have to install the nvidia-glx, but I wasn't to sure that X would work with legacy drivers trying to run a non-legacy card
[08:09] <J_P> eyequeue: ok :-)
[08:09] <Breetai> Hey all, I am runing 6.06, I want to add tovid, does it matter weather I use the sid or sarge repository?
[08:09] <eyequeue> michaels_, pretty much yes ... i hadn't considered you might not have a build machine there ... wait one more command too
[08:10] <eclapton> eyequeue - think ill pass sometimes to help out -- thnx and goodbye
[08:10] <Magicdead> Jimmey: you could change the driver to nv before putting the new card in, and then install the nvidia-glx
[08:10] <michaels_> eyequeue: a build machine would be a machine used in development and testing, aight?
[08:10] <Magicdead> Jimmey: the nv driver should support all nvidia cards imo
[08:10] <Mikey> Hello, Is it possible to use synaptic package manager, without actually having ubuntu connected to the internet?
[08:10] <eyequeue> michaels_, sudo apt-get install build-essential && sudo apt-get build-dep amarok (to grab any build dependencies) then go ahead and run apt-get -d source amarok
[08:11] <Mikey> (ironically, I need to use it before I can get an internet connection)
[08:11] <Jimmey> Magicdead, I think the driver's already set to NV as the I've got the Xserver configured for my legacy card
[08:11] <eyequeue> michaels_, -b not -d of course
[08:11] <michaels_> okie eyequeue thanks again
[08:11] <wastrel> what's the best way to make a bunch of mailing labels with openoffice?
[08:11] <beerockxs> whenever I resume from susped to ram, it takes a few minutes until i can start new applications. What package would I report that bug against?
[08:11] <Jimmey> Magicdead, I think that I should change my Xorg.conf to what it was before I installed the legacy drivers
[08:11] <Magicdead> Jimmey: well nv is standard driver that comes with linux, nvidia-glx would be "nvidia" driver, don't know about the legacy driver
[08:11] <eyequeue> eclapton, great :)
[08:11] <eyequeue> michaels_, no prob
[08:12] <Jimmey> Magicdead, oh, I see.
[08:12] <DanaG> nvidia glx legacy is old cards.
[08:12] <erUSUL> tjb: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall from here "...The default is to shrink an existing partition. The slider lets you select a new size for the existing partition. You can also choose to delete an existing partition to free up space. ..."
[08:12] <DanaG> nvidia-glx is new.
[08:13] <tjb> erUSUL: Okay, thanks.
[08:13] <tjb> Is 20GB enough for Ubuntu?
[08:13] <erUSUL> tjb: no problem
[08:13] <Magicdead> Jimmey: you could also run nvidia-xconfig, that usually sets back everything to default when i use it
[08:13] <DanaG> 20 seems fine for me
[08:13] <aytch> tjb: yes
[08:13] <Jimmey> DanaG, I understand. I have the legacy drivers installed for my old card, but am going to be replacing it tomorrow with a non-legacy card.
[08:13] <tjb> Okay.
[08:13] <DanaG> I have all my docs on a different partition.
[08:13] <Magicdead> tjb: i got ubuntu installed on my 6gb harddisc and it works fine
[08:13] <DanaG> Jimmey: you'd just have to update them then.
[08:14] <exs> Hello. I'd like to try firefox beta 2, but I do not want it to replace my firefox 1.5.
[08:14] <DanaG> Xorg may fail to start, but you can just install the new one and then do /etc/init.d.gdm start
[08:14] <tjb> I see.
[08:14] <gilles> plz where can i find an workable img of debian3.&
[08:14] <tjb> Where can I contact Ubuntu about this hard-to-read screen?
[08:14] <michaels_> oh, eyequeue, more problems still. it has a dependancy I don't meet.
[08:14] <emperatri> hola
[08:14] <michaels_> damn, gtg eyequeue, bug you about it some other time.
[08:14] <iratik> How to disable root account after enabling with sudo passwd?
[08:15] <Magicdead> iratik: you mean how to change back to normal user or how to disable root login possibility completely?
[08:16] <iratik> disable root login possibility completely
[08:16] <iratik> normal user is just exit
[08:16] <iratik> so that su can't be used
[08:16] <maki> hello
[08:17] <LordSkylark> mmmh
[08:17] <iqon> is there a way to use a 2+TB disk on a 32 bit OS?
[08:17] <LordSkylark> i dont understand why after system install doesnt ask for a root password
[08:17] <LordSkylark> :O
[08:18] <Jack_Sparrow> !root
[08:18] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[08:18] <Magicdead> iratik: i don't know, check man sudo, maybe the info is there
[08:18] <iratik> its fine, i'm just trying to lock everything down after doing "chmod -R 777 /*" as root
[08:18] <Magicdead> iqon: depends on the filesystem imo, xfs for instance should work for discs up to 16tb, but i don't know if that also mean the os will have no problems with it
[08:19] <ladydoor> LordSkylark: ubuntu uses sudo instead, though you can always do "sudo passwd root" to enable you to su
[08:19] <LordSkylark> =)
[08:19] <|thunder> su is not needed at all.
[08:19] <|thunder> sudo bash will do the same as su -
[08:19] <iratik> It was in the perfect setup Ubuntu Setup 6.06LTS with ISP Config instructions
[08:20] <wastrel> iratik:  sudo passwd -d root  deletes the root password you set
[08:20] <iratik> thanks
[08:20] <iqon> Magicdead: ext3 (which i'm trying to use) should support it as well, but i've read that a 32bit OS can't address anything over 2TB
[08:20] <|thunder> wastrel, thats good to know. thx
[08:20] <|thunder> i just use 'sudo bash' when even im inclined to su -
[08:21] <iratik> Okay next question, how to assume user as www-data?
[08:21] <iqon> |thunder: sudo su works too
[08:21] <Mikey> Hm. Sorry for repeating my question, but is there anyway to install the 2.6.12 kernel on dapper?
[08:22] <|thunder> iqon, right on. so, i can't think of a need to ever have a root pass set
[08:22] <Magicdead> iqon: http://kerneltrap.org/node/186 <-- maybe this helps you
[08:22] <jcapote> i just installed breeze last night and did all the updates, upon some research i found that one can easily upgrade to dapper via gksudo update-manager -d, however, once i run that it says that my system is up to date, while in the doc screenshots i see the upgrade to dapper button
[08:24] <iratik> I'm trying to debug the permissions issue with my webserver's ability to move files- the only way it seems i am going to get it worked out is to assume user as www-data
[08:24] <iratik> It seems that www-data has no password, or i just don't understand what i am doing
[08:25] <|thunder> i finally got firefox32 working with flash last night. I am so happy now. Now all I need is support for .wmv files. can the real player plug-in play wmv's ?
[08:25] <LordSkylark> !xgl
[08:25] <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
[08:25] <Magicdead> iqon: but as i said, xfs is a 64bit filesystem (no matter if you use it on a 32 bit or 64bit machine)
[08:25] <Magicdead> iqon: Maximum Filesystem Size
[08:25] <Magicdead> For Linux 2.4, 2 TB. For Linux 2.6 and beyond, when using 64 bit addressing in the block devices layer (CONFIG_LBD) and a 64 bit platform, filesystem size limit increases to 9 million terabytes (or the device limits). For these later kernels on 32 bit platforms, 16TB is the current limit even with 64 bit addressing enabled in the block layer. <-- taken from xfs homepage
[08:26] <|thunder> !wmv
[08:26] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  -  See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html  -  But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[08:26] <Magicdead> iqon: so 16tb is the limit, 2tb was the limit for 2.4 kernels
[08:26] <kmasta> !fans
[08:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fans - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:27] <Magicdead> iqon: but i don't know if it's the same with ext3
[08:27] <kmasta> anyone know a good fan controlling program?
[08:27] <iqon> Magicdead: it looks like it also depends on the block size of the fs, ubuntu uses 4k, if 8k is used it will go up to 32tb
[08:27] <jcapote> update-manager just pops up a window telling me that dapper is available and to goto ubuntulinux.org for upgrade instructions...
[08:28] <tdn> If I need to resize a lot of jpeg images to a speficied max width/height, what program do you recommend? I would like to do it fast and from the command line. (I have all the images in the same dir.)
[08:28] <iqon> Magicdead: do you know if dapper enables CONFIG_LBD by default?
[08:29] <DanaG> kmasta: look up lm_sensors
[08:29] <xzy2ob> Hi, I just restarted my computer and now my grub doesnt work anymore ;( Can this be fixed easily ?
[08:29] <DanaG> That'lll do speed reading, but not automatic control.
[08:29] <Magicdead> iqon: i don't know if it is set on by default, but the option is there
[08:29] <kmasta> !lm_sensors
[08:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lm_sensors - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:29] <NossCire> Is there any very basic Xserver driver that I can use that work for most cards? I REALLY need to gett Xserver going on my new comp, but no luck :(
[08:30] <Jimmey> NossCire, what card do you have
[08:30] <jrib> NossCire: tried vesa?
[08:30] <NossCire> Geforce 7900GT
[08:30] <DanaG> Ooh: http://www.tinet.org/~com.ea/rtsensors/
[08:30] <fijam> hello
[08:30] <DanaG> fan speed control
[08:30] <DanaG> and install lm_sensors and sensors
[08:30] <synic> NossCire: the nv driver doesn't work for you?
[08:30] <DanaG> sensorsd
[08:30] <Jimmey> !tell NossCire about nvidia
[08:30] <Profichilla> tdn:  The program you are searching for would be 'convert', provided by imagemagick. But I don't know the syntax for it.
[08:31] <kitche> !nvidia
[08:31] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:31] <DanaG> !package lm_sensors
[08:31] <fijam> tdn: I need some imagemagick, what do you need?
[08:31] <tdn> Profichilla, ok. Thanks.
[08:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about package lm_sensors - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:31] <NossCire> Nope, just get a messed up screen when X starts, and it tells me somethings wrong (doesn't give much info)
[08:31] <DanaG> Okay, how do you ask Ubotu about packages?
[08:31] <fijam> tdn: I meant I know some...
[08:31] <jrib> DanaG: !info package_name
[08:31] <kitche> NossCire it might give more information then you think
[08:32] <DanaG> !info sensorsd
[08:32] <ubotu> Package sensorsd does not exist in any distro I know
[08:32] <jrib> DanaG: actually, even better would be: /msg ubotu info package_name
[08:32] <xzy2ob> Anyone know how to install GRUB without reinstalling the complete system ?
[08:32] <jrib> !grub > xzy2ob
[08:32] <DanaG> "Package lmsensors does not exist in any distro I know"
[08:32] <tdn> fijam, I need to resize a lot of jpeg images. I would like to resize them so that the picture quality is still quite good in the resized images. Also I would like to be able to keep the size down at a decent level. I have all my jpeg files in the same dir.
[08:32] <DanaG> It cuts off the underscore.
[08:32] <beerockxs> Whenever I resume from suspend to ram, it takes a few minutes until i can start new applications. What package would I report that bug against?
[08:33] <DanaG> !info lm-sensors
[08:33] <xzy2ob> thanks jrib

[08:33] <Magicdead> gee
[08:33] <Magicdead> i must be getting tired ^^
[08:33] <Magicdead> forgot he was a bot *lol*
[08:33] <DanaG> kmasta: try lm_sensors with http://www.tinet.org/~com.ea/rtsensors/
[08:34] <Jimmey> RMorris81, me.
[08:34] <tdn> fijam, do you know how I do that?
[08:34] <fijam> tdn: just a sec
[08:34] <tdn> fijam, ok.
[08:34] <RMorris81> Jimmey: thanks, i followed the guide from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=192588
[08:34] <Jimmey> RMorris81, PM me, if you can
[08:35] <NossCire> jrib, THANKS! Works with VESA. I really love you right now, i've been trying to figure this out for hours!
[08:35] <DanaG> kmasta: and sensord
[08:35] <wikijeff> After sshing into a remote machine, how can I access files on my local system??
[08:35] <jrib> NossCire: be sure to get the nvidia drivers working, vesa performance won't be that great
[08:35] <fijam> tdn: you can do this with a simple bash script and imagemagick, here it is how: http://www.kriyayoga.com/love_blog/post.php/579
[08:35] <RMorris81> Jimmey: i dont know if i can
[08:35] <eyequeue> wikijeff, in a local terminal
[08:35] <kmasta> DanaG: lm_sensors looks hard to setup
[08:35] <tdn> fijam, thanks.
[08:35] <wikijeff> eyequeue: I mean from the ssh prompt
[08:36] <fijam> tdn: no problem
[08:36] <NossCire> jrib, i know. But right now I just had to get it going :) From here I think i'll figure the rest out
[08:36] <eyequeue> wikijeff, you can have both local and remote under screen(1) and then ^A^A back and forth
[08:36] <wikijeff> eyequeue: say I'm running a program on the remote machine...
[08:36] <jrib> NossCire: k, gl
[08:36] <tdn> fijam, but it is important that the quality of the images is ok.
[08:36] <DanaG> Is there a way to keep ubuntu-desktop but get rid of things like hplip?
[08:36] <kingdong> does anyone know if there is a way to disable the middle mouse button = paste feature in xorg or in ubuntu settings somewhere?
[08:36] <eyequeue> wikijeff, "the ssh prompt" means what?  the remote machine's bash?
[08:36] <kmasta> hey sensord is in the repos, yay, i'll do that
[08:36] <jrib> !ubuntu-desktop > DanaG
[08:36] <cliffd> anyone know why I would get this error checking for gcc... gcc
[08:36] <cliffd> checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[08:36] <cliffd> when trying to run ./configure ?
[08:36] <jrib> cliffd: have you installed build-essential?
[08:36] <wikijeff> kingdong: you can disable the middle mouse button, is that what you mean?
[08:37] <cliffd> jrib: checking.
[08:37] <wikijeff> eyequeue: yes, or any program running on the remote machine
[08:37] <arsalan> I am failing to enter into root like arsalan@arsal:~$ su root
[08:37] <arsalan> Password:
[08:37] <arsalan> su: Authentication failure
[08:37] <arsalan>  ; can anyone help me
[08:37] <jrib> !sudo > arsalan
[08:37] <fijam> tdn: read carefully the link and imagemagick manual and thi page: http://www.cit.gu.edu.au/~anthony/graphics/imagick6/ and figure the best values yourself
[08:37] <cliffd> jrib: is that the "developer" package that installs all of what I need?
[08:37] <tijn_> hey all
[08:37] <jrib> cliffd: yes
[08:37] <fijam> tdn: that's pretty simple
[08:37] <cliffd> jrib: thanks.
[08:37] <eyequeue> wikijeff, when you ssh into another machine, you are "on" that machine ... if that machine has access to your local files somehow, simply use that means to reach them
[08:37] <tdn> fijam, ok. Thanks.
[08:37] <wikijeff> eyequeue: ok, thanks
[08:38] <tijn_> ive installed windows, next to ubuntu, it screwed up my grub...
[08:38] <tijn_> how do i fix this?
[08:38] <eyequeue> wikijeff, example, if your local dir is nfs mounted on the remote machine
[08:38] <jrib> !grub > tijn_
[08:38] <Magicdead> tijn_: u gotta make a grub boot disk to restore it
[08:38] <kingdong> wikijeff: not exactly, i am on a laptop and i set the middle mouse button to emulate a scroll wheel in the xorg config, and that works fine but unfortunately it also pastes whatever is in the clipboard when I try to scroll =)
[08:38] <tijn_> dont have a floppy drive
[08:38] <cliffd> ubuntu uses metacity right?
[08:38] <Magicdead> tijn_: or try live cd
[08:38] <kmasta> question, i just downloaded the sensord package via synaptic, now what do I do to get it running?
[08:38] <jrib> cliffd: yes, by default
[08:38] <beerockxs> arsalan: try "sudo su"
[08:39] <wikijeff> kingdong: ah, that I don't know, sry
[08:39] <cliffd> jrib: thanks, also build-essentials did the trick. thanks
[08:39] <kingdong> thanks anyway wikijeff =)
[08:39] <Magicdead> tijn_: if i understood you right, windcows deleted grub so now when you boot, you only end up with windows
[08:39] <tijn_> yes
[08:39] <tijn_> normally i can fix this, using a live cd and chroot
[08:39] <tijn_> im reading the link atm btw
[08:40] <iratik> Is there an undelete command?
[08:40] <eyequeue> wikijeff, if you need to *transfer* a file, you can (on the remote) "scp localbox:/path/to/file ." or  (on the local box) "scp filename remotehost:/path/to/put/it"
[08:40] <kitche> tijn_: think you have to use a live cd and chroot but do grub-install
[08:40] <eyequeue> iratik, no
[08:40] <iratik> crap
[08:40] <jrib> iratik: how did you delete it?
[08:40] <tijn_> kitche: indeed, but wen i chroot, in /dev/ there is nu hda
[08:40] <eyequeue> iratik, rm is permanent, hence you don't run as root or you can rm your whole box in one command, heh
[08:40] <Zer0Her0_> ok newb question of the week, is it possible switch the ctrl and command key(it's an apple keyboard)
[08:40] <WineO> what do I need in order to compile my own kernel?
[08:40] <tijn_> no
[08:40] <cliffd> what package contains the gtk+2.0 libraries ?
[08:41] <jrib> !kernel > WineO
[08:41] <eyequeue> iratik, if you were using the gui, you can sometimes move things back out of the trashcan
[08:41] <kitche> tijn_: well you have to mount proc and a few other filesystems to get a base /dev system
[08:41] <iratik> I'm not
[08:41] <RMorris81> Jimmey: are u getting my messages?
[08:41] <iratik> I'll go look in the pastebin
[08:41] <|thunder> the trashcan is in ~/.Trash
[08:41] <tijn_> kitche: good point
[08:41] <tijn_> :D
[08:42] <ladydoor> cliffd: are you looking for the dev files?
[08:42] <orangey> hey all!
[08:42] <eyequeue> WineO, build-essential, the sources, maybe libncursesw-dev for menuconfig
[08:42] <orangey> Where can I find a dapper package of rhythmbox?

[08:43] <orangey> jrib: oops. sorry. I meant 0.9.5
[08:44] <wikijeff> eyequeue: What kind of permissions/access do I need to use scp?
[08:44] <ladydoor> cliffd: kk, i think it's in libgtk2.0-dev
[08:44] <cliffd> ladydoor: thanks. I was looking around gtk, I couldnt find it.
[08:44] <ladydoor> cliffd: aha! glad to help

[08:47] <DanaG> same question as earlier: how can I remove ppp and hplip and such, without removing the ubuntu-standard and ubuntu-desktop?
[08:47] <synic> DanaG: don't worry about those... they are meta packages.
[08:48] <kitche> DanaG: think ubuntu-standard and ubuntu-desktop are just meta packages, bah type so slow lol

[08:50] <kitche> john123: probably cna use p7zip
[08:50] <eyequeue> !windows
[08:50] <ubotu> For help with Microsoft windows, please visit ##windows or your nearest mental health institute. Also see http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 - !equivalents - http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm
[08:50] <john123> winrar has a linux version
[08:50] <eyequeue> john123, try there ^^
[08:50] <john123> called winrar still thats why i said it
[08:50] <habeeb> Can I define functions in python from the console? When I type "def suckme():" I cant then define the action :/
[08:50] <john123> but its command line
[08:51] <kitche> eyequeue: rar and unrar are both linux programs
[08:51] <synic> habeeb: uh... just type python
[08:51] <john123> kitche they do not work anymore
[08:51] <Glombool> Anyone know if there is a patch for libraw1394 so it works with kernels > 2.4?
[08:51] <kitche> john123: then use p7zip
[08:51] <john123> just checking that out thanks
[08:52] <tijn_> kitche, doenst work
[08:52] <habeeb> synic: yes of course. but then you can type only one command per time. And to define a function I need two. One to define it, and the second to say what action it should take when I call it.
[08:52] <tijn_> ill try the supergrub disk :)
[08:52] <kitche> tijn_: hmm at least I tried :) did you do grub-install /dev/hda
[08:52] <tijn_> yes
[08:52] <tijn_> i also tried: grub
[08:52] <tijn_> root (hd0,1)
[08:52] <tijn_> setup (hd0)
[08:53] <tijn_> but that didnt work, thnx for your help though

[08:53] <tijn_> proc was mounted :(
[08:53] <WineO> Are the configs used to build ubuntu kernels available for viewing?
[08:53] <kitche> tijn_: there might eb a few places to look at
[08:53] <peace-keeper> what i do wrong when mplayer uses 80% of my cpu for playing a simple mp3 file ??
[08:54] <ucordes> anybody here using canon pixma printer in ubuntu?
[08:54] <cliffd> whats the name of the kde burning softwarE? k3b? kb3?
[08:54] <tijn_> ucordes: yes
[08:54] <tijn_> k3b
[08:54] <anon32> k3b
[08:54] <ucordes> tijn_: what device you have exactly and where did you get the driver?
[08:54] <josue_m> any embedded DVR running ubuntu ?
[08:55] <exs> I downloaded firefox 2.0, beta 2. How do I install it?
[08:55] <cliffd> tijn_, anon32: thanks.
[08:55] <anon32> :-)
[08:55] <anon32> err, anyone know how I can mount my ntfs partition?
[08:55] <_lupine> ucordes: I used to use the MP110
[08:55] <tijn_> ucordes, well, my gf has a PIXMA4000 i got it working before wit BJC drivers, but with Kubuntu 6.0 or something, it was plug and play
[08:55] <fijam> it's in the ubuntuguide
[08:55] <tijn_> with*
[08:56] <ucordes> tijn_ i got MP150. where can i get this driver i need?
[08:56] <kesha> anon32 mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/ntfs
[08:56] <_lupine> anon32: sudo mount /dev/? -t ntfs /path/to/mountpoint
[08:56] <_lupine> snap :(
[08:56] <ucordes> your my god if this works. im looking for this driver for weeks now
[08:56] <tijn_> ucordes: dont know that type, you can try the linuxprint
[08:56] <anon32> kesha: I get error "could not mount drive because drive is not removable"
[08:57] <kitche> anon32: hmmm never seen that error before
[08:57] <ucordes> tijn_: don't you think that it will work with the same driver as your MP110 ?
[08:57] <tijn_> ucordes: http://www.linuxprinting.org/
[08:57] <kesha> kitche: me too
[08:57] <anon32> also it tells me that there's no /dev/hda1
[08:57] <Tirno> I'm still having trouble with my keymap
[08:57] <tijn_> ucordes: i have a pixma
[08:57] <tijn_> [20:55]  <_lupine> ucordes: I used to use the MP110 <-- thats not me ;)
[08:58] <kesha> anon32 sudo cfdisk /dev/hda
[08:58] <kitche> anon32: do this ls -l /dev |grep hda1 in a terminal if you can
[08:58] <kesha> anon32 look it
[08:58] <Tirno> when I look in /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwertz fr_CH-latin1.kmap indicates that on key 39 I have eacute and odiaresis
[08:58] <Tirno> while actually, I have the opposite
[08:58] <Tirno> any idea how I can solve this
[08:58] <anon32> sorry, I'm on windows right now... didn't feel like trying my hand at partition resizing
[08:58] <Tirno> or find out what keymap I really am using so that I can hack it right again?
[08:59] <kitche> kesha: you shouldn't tell people to use cfdisk to see the partitin just incase they delete the partition and write to the disk just in case :)
[08:59] <ucordes> _lupine: what driver did you use for MP110 ?
[08:59] <tjb> How can I view my NTFS partition from within Linux?
[08:59] <kesha> ok kitche im taking a note :)
[08:59] <anon32> tjb: I think I just asked that
[08:59] <BlueEagle> Alf Gunnar: I am here now. :)
[08:59] <FRET> tjb, mount it :-)
[08:59] <[HUN] Lag-Zik> hi all
[08:59] <Doodluv> tjb: if you know the partition, you can mount it
[09:00] <Jack_Sparrow> tjb: I thought you got that already
[09:00] <_lupine> I paid an obscene amount to some company for linux drivers :)
[09:00] <tjb> Hmm.
[09:00] <Mikey> Hmm, Is it possible to use dapper with the 2.6.12 kernel?
[09:00] <Jack_Sparrow> tjb: Diskmounter Script   http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/files/diskmounter  for mounting NTFS, Fat32 and NFS Drives Most people need to restart X before the Drive Icons show on the desktop  .. after saving the page to your desktop use terminal and type cd /home/your_username_here/Desktop
[09:00] <nokompranos> is there a good php editor for ubuntu that I should try. I dont like screem much.
[09:00] <tjb> Is it normal for /mnt to be empty?
[09:00] <_lupine> http://www.turboprint.de/english.html
[09:00] <BlueEagle> anon32: If it's a SCSI or SATA disk it is probably /dev/sda1 instead
[09:00] <_lupine> tjb: you want /media instead
[09:00] <ucordes> _lupine you not really talking about turboprint, do you?
[09:00] <kitche> tjb: yeah there's no folders in it though? oh wait think it's /media
[09:00] <_lupine> ucordes: yep
[09:00] <anon32> blueeagle: thank you! that sounds like the problem
[09:00] <tjb> kitche: There's nothing in it.
[09:01] <_lupine> ~20
[09:01] <BlueEagle> anon32: :)
[09:01] <_lupine> but works well
[09:01] <nokompranos> nick /noko
[09:01] <Mikey> =(
[09:01] <anon32> say, err, what's the chance that I'll screw up my ntfs partition if I try to resize it?
[09:01] <ucordes> _lupine: is there a way to get it directly?
[09:01] <tijn_> turbprint sucks btw
[09:01] <Mikey> anon32: QTPartEd screwed mine when resizing an ntfs partition
[09:01] <ucordes> tijn_ then tell me a different way to get this pixma working. i really despare on this
[09:01] <anon32> mm...
[09:01] <Mikey> It screwed up the file allocation table I think
[09:02] <_lupine> ucordes: not sure what you mean?
[09:02] <Jack_Sparrow> anon32: there are always dangers working at the partition table level
[09:02] <_lupine> you give them your money, and download the driver
[09:02] <_lupine> that's about all there is to it
[09:02] <Mikey> I'd advise you to backup anything MAJORLY important, but the chance is quite low
[09:02] <anon32> damn it... my whole drive is ntfs partitioned...
[09:02] <ucordes> _lupine: i need to download the driver and then give em the money
[09:02] <kitche> anon32: ntfs doesn't like to be resized just so you know
[09:02] <BlueEagle> anon32: close to 70% according to this figure I just made up. :)
[09:02] <tjb> anon32: I've just resized my NTFS partition with no probs.
[09:02] <Mikey> I've done it before and since with no problems.
[09:02] <tijn_> ucordes: you looked @the link i gave you?
[09:02] <Jack_Sparrow> !worksforme
[09:02] <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.
[09:02] <ucordes> tijn_ wait
[09:02] <badger> BlueEagle: pm
[09:02] <anon32> tjb: um, how can you know you don't have a problem till you reboot in windows?
[09:03] <tjb> anon32: You can't, as far as I know.
[09:03] <BlueEagle> badger: You need to register with nickserv to be able to /msg people
[09:03] <tjb> anon32: I just backed things up and risked it.
[09:03] <WineO> Where can I find the configs used to build the ubuntu kernels on the install cds?
[09:03] <tjb> anon32: And it paid off.
[09:03] <Mikey> ipods work well.
[09:03] <BlueEagle> badger: Also you need to be cleared by me to be able to /msg me (which you are now) :)
[09:03] <RMorris81> can someone give me some help on linksys wubs54g v4 using ndiswrapper?
[09:03] <Mikey> I find an ipod crucial for any large backup :P
[09:03] <_lupine> Wine0: check /boot and /proc in the live/install CD
[09:04] <_lupine> RMorris81: you don't need ndiswrapepr
[09:04] <ucordes> tijn_ http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Canon-PIXMA_MP150 this does not look too good for me, does it?
[09:04] <_lupine> ndiswrapper*
[09:04] <tjb> Is it normal for /mnt to be completely empty though?
[09:04] <_lupine> tjb: yes
[09:04] <kitche> tjb: in ubuntu yes
[09:04] <tjb> Okay.
[09:04] <RMorris81> can u give me a lil through of what i need to do/
[09:04] <Fleebailey33> how come when i run apt-get wine it says there is no package for wine. or no source ?
[09:04] <nokompranos> unless something is mounted there ..of course
[09:04] <_lupine> really easy.. what kernel version are you using? (uname -r will tell you)
[09:05] <SLo1> i'm reading a document on the internet about spamd, and it says to add something to /service/spamd/run  there's no folder or file called that, what do they mean?
[09:05] <g333k_work> whats the difference between apt-get install and aptitude install ?
[09:05] <Jack_Sparrow> ucordes: Papaerweight or doorstop... Not looking good
[09:05] <ladydoor> g333k_work: aptitude keeps better track of dependencies
[09:05] <Tiger-z> i have a strange problem with one of my sata drives. I just formatted it in fdisk, then created a file system with mkreiserfs. But whenever i try and access it. it takes nearly 10 seconds to mount, or even to view partitions through gui disk utilities. I have two other sata drives and i don't have a problem with them.
[09:05] <RMorris81> _lupine: 2.6.15-26-386
[09:05] <jrib> g333k_work: aptitude also installs recommended packages by default
[09:06] <_lupine> cool. OK, you want to go to http:/ubuntu.lupine.me.uk/dists/dapper/main/binary-i386
[09:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Tiger-z: what is the filesystem on those other drives
[09:06] <tijn_> ucordes: ur right, doenst look good
[09:06] <ladydoor> g333k_work: so if you install a package that depends on 5 other packages, then later uninstall that program, apt-get will leave the dependencies. aptitude, on the other hand, will uninstall them if nothing else depends on them
[09:06] <Tiger-z> Jack_Sparrow: Reiserfs and ntfs
[09:06] <WineO> _lupine: thanks!  found it there
[09:06] <_lupine> download the ralink-config .deb and the latest ralink-drivers .deb that matches your kernel
[09:06] <Redrose> if i wanted to switch to KDE and ditch gnome, I ould just do apt-get install KDE KDM and uninstall gnome and gdm, right?
[09:07] <_lupine> Redrose: install kubuntu-desktop
[09:07] <jrib> Redrose: uninstalling gnome is harder than it seems
[09:07] <_lupine> (does all the hard work for you)
[09:07] <Fleebailey33> sudo apt-get build-dep wine
[09:07] <Fleebailey33> but it says theres no source
[09:07] <_lupine> best to leave gnome where it is
[09:07] <BlueEagle> redrose: you'd want kubuntu-desktop as it has got all needed deps.
[09:07] <Fleebailey33> im confused
[09:07] <Jack_Sparrow> Tiger-z: Just for my own info.. are the two reis.. on the same buss and ntfs on its own or is the lagging drive on the same buss as ntfs?
[09:07] <SLo1> how do i edit /service/spamd/run there's no folder called service...
[09:07] <Tiger-z> Jack_Sparrow: My system is new though. it's using a 965p mobo. could there be a problem with formatting/creating partitions in linux?
[09:07] <XxXBrAnDoNXxX> Where is edgy knot 2? Today is Aug. 31!
[09:07] <Redrose> mmk, but i don't have a lot of space, so i would like to get rid of gnome
[09:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Tiger-z: No partitioning or formatting problems that I am aware of
[09:08] <Redrose> !wine
[09:08] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[09:08] <mluu510> hey, guys. how do i edit the grub menu?
[09:08] <XxXBrAnDoNXxX> !edgy
[09:08] <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
[09:08] <mluu510> there are too many OS and kearnal versions for me to boot from. i want to simplify it
[09:08] <Jack_Sparrow> gksudo gedit  /boot/grub/menu.lst    Remember to make a backup copy before starting
[09:08] <_lupine>  RMorris81: once you've downloaded the 2 .deb files, just install them in the usual manner (right-click and select install works ;) ), then "sudo modprobe rt2570"
[09:09] <Toge> what is modprobe?
[09:09] <tijn_> mluu510: sudo nano /boot/menu.lst
[09:09] <_lupine> smart insmod
[09:09] <Tiger-z> Jack_Sparrow: I have 3 sata drives in total. The first is a raptor with two partitions. NTFS and reiserfs. The third drive is ntfs. The second drive is the one with a problem. i tried to use reiserfs on it
[09:09] <FRET> Toge, man modprobe
[09:09] <RMorris81> _lupine: what 2 did i need?
[09:09] <ladydoor> mluu510: actually, better make that sudo nano -w /boot/grub/menu.list
[09:09] <kitche> does reiserfs support sata yet?
[09:09] <tijn_> kitche: grub is fixed :)
[09:09] <Mikey> To compile my own kernel for ubuntu, is it the same as other distros? (make, make install, and then copy the image to /boot and config grub?)
[09:10] <_lupine> the one starting ralink-config and the one starting ralink-drivers, including the version of your kernel in the name, with the latest date
[09:10] <Toge> to manage modules from de kernel...
[09:10] <RMorris81> _lupine: i got the ralink-config_0.12-2_i386.deb
[09:10] <kitche> Mikey: make install you don't use if you comput the image over
[09:10] <Tiger-z> Jack_Sparrow: Maybe i should try ext2, see if thats makes a difference
[09:10] <tijn_> mluu510: Sorry, my fault! sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Tiger-z: Sorry for the brain fart. I was thinking EIDE.. What MB .. do you have a link to tech data...?
[09:11] <Mikey> kitche, But if I'm doing that, there's nothing else special I need to do?
[09:11] <_lupine> that's the right one. You also want http://ubuntu.lupine.me.uk/dists/dapper/main/binary-i386/ralink-drivers_cvs2006-08-24-kernel2.6.15-26-386_386.deb
[09:11] <kitche> Mikey: it's make menuconf or xconfig then make modules make modules_install then make bzImage then copy the bzimage to /boot
[09:11] <Jack_Sparrow> mluu510: did you get that info?
[09:11] <kitche> Mikey: then configure menu.lst
[09:11] <_lupine> with luckm when you're done you'll have an interface called rausb0
[09:11] <Tiger-z> Jack_Sparrow: http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=2314
[09:11] <Mikey> Awesome, And it'll cause no problem if I am downgrading rather than upgrading, yeah?
[09:11] <tjb> Is it easy to put Windows before Ubuntu in Grub?
[09:11] <_lupine> you can then run "sudo rutilt" for a GUI config utility; or you can configure in the normal manner
[09:12] <_lupine> tjb: just add "savedefault" to all the entries
[09:12] <Tiger-z> Jack_Sparrow: i also had problems with IDE on this board. i'll try ext2, see if that works ok
[09:12] <Toge> what package I can get to manage wireless nets?
[09:12] <_lupine> that way it'll remember which one you booted to last, and keep it as a defaulty
[09:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Tiger-z: IS your bios set to sata 2?
[09:12] <Mikey> tjb: Change "default 0" to the number of thewindopws option in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:12] <Mikey> *the windows
[09:12] <kitche> Mikey: it might be udev problem you might run into but not sure
[09:12] <Mikey> hmm
[09:12] <Mikey> Oka, thanks :)
[09:13] <DanaG> you have to change "default 0" to "default saved" in menu.lst
[09:13] <DanaG> if you want savedefault to have any effect.
[09:13] <Mikey> kitche, Sources off kernel.org will be okay?
[09:13] <Tiger-z> Jack_Sparrow: ye it is. i think anyway. i didn't see anything about selecting sata2. just ide compatibility options.
[09:13] <RMorris81> i got another problem, i just installed this system, and i had to change the date and when i used sudo in the terminal it says sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Sep  1 14:18:02 2006
[09:13] <kitche> Mikey: yea
[09:13] <Mikey> Okay :)
[09:13] <Mikey> Thanks again
[09:13] <mluu510> how do i make grub boot windows as my default os?
[09:14] <DanaG> !kernel
[09:14] <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
[09:14] <DanaG> I had issues compiling my own kernel -- there was no "restricted-modules" package for it.
[09:14] <ladydoor> mluu510: do you see the part in /boot/grub/menu.lst where it lists all your kernels/oses
[09:14] <ladydoor> ?
[09:14] <mluu510> yes
[09:14] <mluu510> but i am not sure how to edit it
[09:14] <ladydoor> mluu510: what number "kernel" is windows?
[09:14] <mluu510> i think it's 10
[09:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Tiger-z: Next time you boot, look in bios.. Just a suggestion..
[09:14] <mluu510> do i count all kearnal down?
[09:14] <kitche> DanaG: well you usually have to install the restricted-modules seperate
[09:15] <ladydoor> mluu510: ok, then, after you back it up (sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.bak)
[09:15] <Tiger-z> Jack_Sparrow: ok. will do.
[09:15] <ladydoor> mluu510: and after you open with with gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:15] <LoneWolf071> I installed ubuntu, but i want to get rid of gnome and install KDE how do i do that?
[09:15] <mluu510> i already made a back up
[09:15] <ladydoor> mluu510: sweet
[09:15] <mluu510> should i just delete all those other kearnal?
[09:15] <mluu510> just keep one
[09:15] <mluu510> and another for windows
[09:15] <mluu510> i don't need all those versions
[09:16] <mortal5> how would I enable a swap partition ubuntu before I install it?
[09:16] <mluu510> and rearrange it so that windows is on top?
[09:16] <ladydoor> mluu510: anyway, on the line that says "default" replace the number after it with the number of your windoze partition -1
[09:16] <DTB> hello folks
[09:16] <ladydoor> mluu510: (because it numbers from 0)
[09:16] <mortal5> I need to enable it before I load the partitioner
[09:16] <mluu510> oh, i see
[09:16] <ALEX2> hello i have ubuntu 5.10.. freshi install .. how do i upgrade to 6.03
[09:16] <mluu510> almost forgot that it counts from 0, lol
[09:16] <NotWired> is there a faq somewhere for installing a printer for use in ubuntu?
[09:16] <jrib> !upgrade > ALEX2
[09:17] <DTB> does en1 know if 6.0.6 LTS live cd has gcc?
[09:17] <Alex> what
[09:17] <jrib> ALEX2: it's 6.06 by the way
[09:17] <whose> Afternoon,Ladies&Gents
[09:17] <ladydoor> ALEX2: <alt>f2 gksudo update-manager -d <enter>
[09:17] <jazzrocker> NotWired, perhaps on the wiki.
[09:17] <jrib> ladydoor: doesn't -d upgrade to edgy?
[09:17] <jazzrocker> NotWired, it's pretty easy; go to System -> Administration -> Printers
[09:17] <mluu510> do i also count title: other operating systems?
[09:17] <ladydoor> jrib not from breezy i don't think
[09:17] <Jack_Sparrow> !ask
[09:17] <NotWired> okay, i'll give that a go... thanks jazzrocker
[09:17] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:18] <ladydoor> jrib: at least i hope not
[09:18] <spuddogg> hello all
[09:18] <jrib> ladydoor: oh, I thought it went to latest devel release
[09:18] <ladydoor> jrib: i don't know...oops
[09:18] <mark__> how would i get multiple tabs for irssi so i can be in two channels in one server?
[09:18] <spuddogg> man, i have something to say about Ubuntu
[09:18] <ladydoor> mluu510: tell you what, just paste your menu.lst in pastebin :-)
[09:18] <ladydoor> !paste > mluu510
[09:18] <din> anyone know the package that installs /dev/speech or the speechd app?
[09:19] <mluu510> i don't know what pastebin is
[09:19] <jazzrocker> letsgfuad, you'd read the irssi manual... or ask the folks in #irssi

[09:31] <azathoth> you can add the resolutions to the xorg.conf
[09:31] <Kragnerac> Hello, does anyone know where I can set my default browser? It seems that everytime I click on a link in GAIM or X-Chat, it opens lynx. How do I set it to Firefox or Epiphany?
[09:31] <azathoth> where it says "800x600" "640x480", just add "1280x1024" "1024x768" after them, up to whatever your card supports
[09:32] <RMorris81> _lupine: i got the wusb54g up and running but it says there is no networks in range and i know there is...

[09:33] <earthian> could somebody help me with the following issues: how to enable sounds, how to make dhcp server start at the system boot and what to do that ubuntu changes my NICs after each reboot to eth0 eth1 eth2 etc... :/
[09:33] <gre1> thats it
[09:33] <_lupine> so "sudo iwlist rausb0 scan"
[09:33] <azathoth> gre1: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[09:33] <StoneNote> qazwsx, when you did your chmod you used -R ?
[09:33] <qazwsx> yes
[09:34] <daehee> Hi, does anyone know if having kismet installed slows down your connection? Right now on my ifconfig, three different wireless connectons are showing
[09:34] <_lupine> daehee: that's normal

[09:34] <Redrose> How Do I Uninstall GNOME?
[09:35] <StoneNote> qazwsx, ouch.  yeah that would do it.  without know what folders you have under /usr/ we'd just wind up breaking more stuff.  755 looks right for /usr/ but it might NOT be right for one of the subfolders
[09:35] <kesha> gre1 you could use xf86config, that i used before.....
[09:35] <azathoth> Redrose: sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop
[09:35] <Redrose> earthian, One At A Time.
[09:35] <RMorris81> _lupine: i see my network there
[09:35] <Redrose> lol, azathoth uninstall Gnome
[09:35] <SleepySocks> has knot2 been released yet, can't find the link
[09:35] <_lupine> cool :)
[09:35] <inimesekene> my package installer won't close :s
[09:35] <azathoth> ah right :)
[09:35] <earthian> how to enable sounds :)
[09:35] <RMorris81> how do i connect?
[09:35] <inimesekene> help
[09:35] <inimesekene> my package installer won't close :s
[09:35] <qazwsx> StoneNote, yeah. The bigest problem is i cant use sudo
[09:35] <_lupine> use the GUI tool to connect:- "sudo rutilt"
[09:35] <gre1>  dpkg-reconfigure xserver- xfree86?
[09:35] <azathoth> uninstalling gnome... it's tough...
[09:35] <Redrose> earthian, Are You Getting no sound what so ever?
[09:35] <GomezDen> Is there a way to make Gnome save your session?
[09:36] <earthian> no sound
[09:36] <StoneNote> qazwsx, hold one a sec
[09:36] <_lupine> much easier - assuming you're using DHCP
[09:36] <earthian> it shows smth like "cant connect to sound server" or so
[09:36] <azathoth> most people just install kde or xfce over gnome, as the gnome apps are handy
[09:36] <_lupine> (if you're not sure, then you are :) )
[09:36] <kesha> gre1 just try to run like root xf86config
[09:36] <Redrose> azathoth, Just cause I'm wanting to use KDE only, and I don't have a lot of space for GNOME
[09:36] <jahe3> Hello. I need some help after changing network card
[09:37] <GomezDen> Redrose: should just DL Kubuntu
[09:37] <azathoth> Redrose: i hate to say it, but your best bet might be a re-install with kubuntu... as a default ubuntu install has an awful lot of gnome stuff layered in
[09:37] <aliendream23> how do I enable DMA acceleration on my dvd burner??
[09:37] <Redrose> earthian, open a console and type lsmod | grep sound and tell me what comes up
[09:37] <gre1> ok
[09:37] <aliendream23> !DMA
[09:37] <ubotu> dma is Direct Memory Access/Addressing.  It makes hard disks run faster,  see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DMA
[09:38] <StoneNote> qazwsx, open a console and cd /usr/bin and then ls -l sudo  and paste me what you get
[09:38] <jrib> Redrose: search for 'psychocats pure kubuntu' in google, someone has a site with a long command you can use
[09:38] <rofl0r> !autostart
[09:38] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about autostart - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:38] <earthian> Redrose: soundcore              13216  1 snd
[09:38] <Redrose> ok, well it's finding a sound... goto System->Preferences->Sound
[09:38] <qazwsx> StoneNote, "-rwxrwx--- 1 root root 93844 2006-05-17 10:41 sudo
[09:38] <qazwsx> "
[09:39] <jrib> Redrose: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde
[09:39] <Redrose> lol, wow
[09:39] <StoneNote> qazwsx, mine is  -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 93844 2006-05-17 04:41 sudo so I can see you've done major damage with chmod -R commands, and more than one at that
[09:40] <piratepenguin> how should I configure Ubuntu/xorg.conf for my new TFT monitor? atm, when X is starting I get the "out of range" error before it properly starts..
[09:40] <earthian> ...
[09:41] <jahe3> I cannot conect to internet after changing my network card
[09:41] <StoneNote> qazwsx, use chmod to fix the programs you need from /usr/bin and back up any data you need, your bookmarks and whatever because it doesn't look good from where I'm sitting.  Maybe you can find someone who has a quick fix for you.  I'm sorry to say I do not.
[09:41] <qazwsx> StoneNote, how do i change mine to be like your?
[09:42] <Tiger-z> Hi, i'm having a permissions problem when trying to write to a harddrive. i've tried all sorts of things. umask, gid, user, users. nothing seems to have any effect. i've looked through man mount and can't find much about drive rw permissions. note, my root drive doesn't have any special options in fstab but i can rw to it.
[09:42] <jahe3> I cannot conect to internet after changing my network card, anyone willing to help?
[09:43] <Jack_Sparrow> Tiger-z: What is the format on the partition you want to use as rw
[09:43] <FRET> jahe3, is it configured correctly?
[09:43] <DanaG> !mythtv
[09:43] <ubotu> mythtv is for watching TV in Linux.  Check out http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/12/16/instructions-to-install-mythtv/
[09:43] <Jack_Sparrow> jahe3: Start by telling us what card you just added
[09:43] <Tiger-z> Jack_Sparrow: ext3. it works ok if i use sudo.
[09:43] <jahe3> FRET, I don't know
[09:43] <Jack_Sparrow> Tiger-z: post your fstab to the pastebin
[09:44] <Tiger-z> Jack_Sparrow: this is the fstab entry i created: /dev/sdb1       /media/sdb1     ext3    auto,defaults
[09:44] <_lupine> qazwsz: no quick fix really
[09:44] <jahe3> Jack: TP-link
[09:44] <ladydoor> Tiger-z: try adding "user" after defaults
[09:44] <_lupine> your best bet...
[09:44] <ladydoor> Tiger-z: and then editing /etc/group and adding yourself to the group "users"
[09:44] <Jack_Sparrow> Thanks ladydoor
[09:44] <ladydoor> Jack_Sparrow: np
[09:44] <Tiger-z> Jack_Sparrow: tried that. it allows a user to mount. but has no effect on read/write permissions :(
[09:45] <Tiger-z> ladydoor:i did that also
[09:45] <_lupine> is to somehow get root access, then apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-base ubuntu-desktop
[09:45] <ladydoor> Tiger-z: in my experience, when i did that to a usb drive it allowed me to write
[09:45] <spuddogg> ladydoor, i seem to be having problems with playing mp3s...in the instructions it tells me to install packages that are not listed in synaptec...any ideas?
[09:45] <_lupine> might wotk
[09:45] <ladydoor> Tiger-z: try adding rw, then, i guess
[09:45] <GomezDen> ls
[09:45] <ladydoor> Tiger-z: (as well)
[09:45] <kesha> Tiger-z: lsattr?
[09:45] <_lupine> personally, I'd write the whole filesytem off and restore from a backup
[09:45] <ladydoor> spuddogg: you probably need to enable the universe and multiverse repositories
[09:45] <Tiger-z> ladydoor:i did usermod -G users -a <user>
[09:45] <ladydoor> !repositories > spuddogg
[09:45] <ladydoor> Tiger-z: sweet
[09:45] <spuddogg> ladydoor, thank you again
[09:45] <spuddogg> :)
[09:46] <ladydoor> spuddogg: np, i hope it helps
[09:46] <StoneNote> qazwsx, chmod 755 sudo
[09:46] <Tiger-z> kesha: moment i check
[09:46] <thanatos_> is there a way to get xubuntu, kubuntu, and the regular version on one DVD
[09:46] <StoneNote> qazwsx, make sure you are in /usr/bin
[09:46] <_lupine> don't forget it has to be setuid ;)
[09:46] <Jack_Sparrow> Tiger-z:  got the link to your fstab I scrolled back but did not see it
[09:47] <_lupine> (so would that be 4755 ? I forget)
[09:47] <qazwsx> StoneNote, thanks. I will just reinstal the system
[09:47] <StoneNote> qazwsx, _lupine is correct.  I would try to back up any files I absolutely needed before I did anything else
[09:47] <StoneNote> _lupine, yeah, you're right.
[09:47] <Tiger-z> kesha: i get no output from lsattr
[09:47] <qazwsx> i backed up my home folder
[09:47] <StoneNote> qazwsx, look at what _lupine posted
[09:48] <romek_> #ubuntu-pl
[09:48] <_lupine> StoneNote: TBH, it simply wouldn't ever recover properly without reinstalling every file in /usr
[09:48] <Tiger-z> Jack_Sparrow: /dev/sdb1       /media/sdb1     ext3    auto,defaults 0
[09:48] <StoneNote> qazwsx, did you export your bookmarks and back them up too? just in case
[09:48] <_lupine> so scratch it, and chalk it up to a learning experience ;)
[09:48] <qazwsx> wait
[09:48] <StoneNote> _lupine, yes, I was suggesting he recover the programs he needed so he could back up his data
[09:48] <qazwsx> _lupine, you were rightt
[09:48] <_lupine> ah, got you :)
[09:48] <qazwsx> ui guess it is working now
[09:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Tiger-z: I asked for the whole fstab just to see what else might be in there since you did just change the format on that drive..
[09:49] <Tiger-z> Jack_Sparrow: ok, i'll paste bin it
[09:49] <_lupine> see, this is why I have a root password set ;)
[09:49] <Tiger-z> Jack_Sparrow: http://rafb.net/paste/results/iECFdD43.html
[09:50] <qazwsx> StoneNote, let me check if all is ok now
[09:50] <qazwsx> thanks!
[09:50] <StoneNote> _lupine, I've done the same with chmod in my home directory so it was a bit less painful
[09:51] <_lupine> I've had a few close shaves myself... quite fun at times, working out exactly what went wrong ;)

[09:54] <thanatos_> is there a way to get xubuntu, kubuntu, and the regular version on one DVD
[09:54] <_lupine> thanatos: fraid not
[09:54] <ladydoor> spuddogg: now i am
[09:54] <ladydoor> spuddogg: what's up?
[09:55] <_lupine> short of copying the three different CD-images onto the one DVD and writing a custom loader yourself, anyway ;)
[09:55] <spuddogg> does anyone know how to add universe and multiverse repositories?  I uncommented the lines in etc/apt/sources.list, but I still cannot find the package i need in synaptec
[09:55] <_lupine> (do-able but a PITA)
[09:55] <ladydoor> spuddogg: you need to hit the update button first :-)
[09:55] <StoneNote> spuddogg, did you apt-get update ?
[09:56] <spuddogg> ladydoor, i did hit update, but i dont know what you mean by apt-get
[09:56] <ROCKSTEADY1964> Failed to construct test pipeline for 'ALSA - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture'
[09:56] <ladydoor> spuddogg: synaptic is a frontend to apt-get. that's the command-line version of hitting "update"
[09:56] <spuddogg> ladydoor sorry, i meant stonenote
[09:56] <ladydoor> spuddogg: np

[09:57] <jvai> <-- *grabs pen n paper*
[09:57] <earthian> how to fix that so i wont need to reconfigure my dhcp server eachtime i reboot???

[09:57] <StoneNote> spuddogg, go check sources.list to see if they still have that pesky # in front of them
[09:57] <ksatishkumark> hello
[09:57] <Tonren> ladydoor: Awesome.  Also, how do I add a daemon to the list of network services that should load on bootup?  (it's pure-ftpd)
[09:57] <earthian> after each reboot my network lan cards changes under the ubuntu... eth0 becomes eth1 eth1 eth0 etc etc
[09:57] <earthian> how to fix that so i wont need to reconfigure my dhcp server eachtime i reboot???
[09:57] <_lupine> earthian: you could try adding a short delay between the loading of the two interfaces
[09:57] <spuddogg> stonenote, i did that
[09:58] <tijn_> erhm how to reset my menu bar?
[09:58] <ksatishkumark> i am new here can someone help me out with the protocol
[09:58] <Max_Steel> DanaG yes...to I see when my batery energy is many down
[09:58] <earthian> _lupine: how?
[09:58] <ladydoor> Tonren: i don't know, sorry. i just turned of gdm for the heck of it, not because i have a server :-)
[09:58] <earthian> i am a noob :9
[09:58] <Tonren> ladydoor: Haha, awesome
[09:58] <StoneNote> spuddogg, yeah, I'm asking you to check just to be sure

[09:58] <Max_Steel> DanaG yes
[09:58] <maki> what is command to kill X windows ?
[09:58] <GomezDen> Anyone else have the book "Beginning Ubuntu Linux"
[09:58] <_lupine> If I were doing it, I'd disable the auto-loading of all the interfaces and write a short script to do it in the order I wanted to
[09:58] <Mike-X2> HI all having problem with NVIDIA-3d card driver
[09:58] <DanaG> You can "add to panel" -- Battery Monitor
[09:59] <_lupine> but... that's only because I don't know the 'correct' way to do it
[09:59] <Tonren> maki: alt + f2 -> xkill
[09:59] <DanaG> as long as ACPI is set up.
[09:59] <tijn_> my panel ran off :)
[09:59] <maki> thx
[09:59] <spuddogg> stonenote, i just checked it again, and found 2 more lines...that might have been it
[09:59] <GomezDen> Mike-X2: what is the problem?
[09:59] <Tonren> Who knows how to add a daemon to the list of network services that should load on bootup?
[10:00] <_lupine> Tonren: you'd use rc-update ?
[10:00] <StoneNote> spuddogg, cool. I made that mistake too. try updating like ladydoor suggested and see if it works now
[10:00] <Mike-X2> GomezDen: starting up x again
[10:00] <ksatishkumark> hello
[10:00] <ksatishkumark> ??
[10:00] <Tonren> _lupine: THanks, I'll read the man page
[10:01] <_lupine> hrm, I can't seem to find it actually...
[10:01] <_lupine> failing that (I'm sure it exists!), you can just make the symlinks in the appropriate rc?.d directory yourself
[10:01] <_lupine> since that's essentially all rc-update does
[10:01] <matahari> hi
[10:01] <spuddogg> stonenote, ladydoor, thank you both...i now found the ones i needed.  Thanks!!
[10:02] <ladydoor> spuddogg: sweet!
[10:02] <StoneNote> spuddogg, cool beans.  your welcome
[10:02] <Mike-X2> GnomezDen: have installed linux-headers and linux-kernels, gcc make, and libc. but it still wont start up
[10:02] <maki> escuse me xkill doesnt seems to kill only mouse?
[10:02] <matahari> wenn i want to print out of gimp in xubuntu and i write the command "xfprint4" in the print-dialog it always tells me:
[10:02] <Mike-X2> after installation of NVIDIA
[10:02] <GomezDen> Mike-X2: you just need to restart X?
[10:02] <Tonren> _lupine: I don't know a thing about rc-update, actually.
[10:02] <spuddogg> ladydoor, stonenote    music!!! :)  thanks again :)
[10:02] <ladydoor> :-)
[10:02] <StoneNote> enjoy
[10:02] <ladydoor> maki: what do you mean?
[10:02] <lomolp> hi, i have a problem with my bluetooth mouse, it used to work when i do 'sudo hidd --server' but after trying to play around with xgl, i doesnt work anymore, i dont know if i messed up some config file, any idea? when i sudo hidd --search, it exits immediatly. i use ubuntu dapper
[10:03] <wastrel> hello
[10:03] <matahari> xfprint4 WARNING  failed request with status 1030
[10:03] <GomezDen> Mike-X2: did you edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[10:03] <Mike-X2> GnomezDen: ok but how do i config
[10:03] <Mike-X2> tnope
[10:03] <Tonren> Oh, it looks like pure-ftpd added itself.
[10:03] <DanaG> Is there a GTK Aptitude?
[10:03] <ladydoor> DanaG: synaptic
[10:03] <Mike-X2> how do i do that
[10:04] <DanaG> ctrl-alt-backspace kills X, but it'll restart.
[10:04] <ksatishkumark> hi ladydoor
[10:04] <Mike-X2> cant use the the same config as in 5.10
[10:04] <maki> i want to kill Xwindow all
[10:04] <ladydoor> ksatishkumark: uh, hi
[10:04] <maki> not only one process
[10:04] <DanaG> If you want to stop it, go to another console (text-mode) and sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[10:04] <ladydoor> maki: sudo killall gdm
[10:04] <Tonren> maki: You can temporarily drop out of X by hitting Ctrl + Alt + F1 - F6
[10:04] <Mike-X2> GnomezDen: runnin 6.06
[10:04] <Tonren> maki: Hitting Ctrl + Alt + F7 will drop you back into X
[10:04] <GomezDen> just a sec
[10:04] <DanaG> Synaptic doesn't undo automatic installs like Aptitude does.
[10:05] <ksatishkumark> i am new here (to irc and ubuntu) trying to make sense of it. u seem like an expert can u guide me towards some doco?
[10:05] <maki> i know combinations ctrl + alt + f7
[10:05] <dmb> ksatishkumark: documentation you mean?
[10:05] <ksatishkumark> yes
[10:05] <maki> can i put "killall * "
[10:05] <jrib> ksatishkumark: system > help
[10:05] <Tonren> ksatishkumark: One good tip when using IRC is to always start a sentence with the name of the person you are talking to.  Most people have IRC set up to beep when their name is typed.
[10:05] <dmb> ksatishkumark: you can start here if your not currently on ubuntu:

[10:06] <ubotu> For multimedia codecs, http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/ch03.html#sect-music-and-movies | For multimedia applications, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications
[10:06] <ksatishkumark> i have ubuntu installed . i needed help as i was trying to get real player on ubuntu
[10:06] <baconbacon> killing X (it will restart) : ctrl + alt + backspace
[10:06] <Tonren> spuddogg: If you're looking for a quick fix for video players and codecs, you can install EasyUbuntu or Automatix.
[10:06] <spuddogg> ladydoor, i'll ask google...dont worry
[10:06] <jrib> ubotu: tell ksatishkumark about realplayer
[10:06] <ladydoor> spuddogg: though be careful with automatix, apparently
[10:06] <dmb> ksatishkumark: goto wiki.ubuntu.com and search for realplayer
[10:06] <ksatishkumark> i have .deb package of real player . how do i install it?
[10:06] <GomezDen> Mike-X2: I think you use 'dpkg -configure X11' to reconfigure it
[10:06] <thybo> how do you optimise a game with wine?
[10:07] <GomezDen> Mike-X2: Im not sure the name of the X package
[10:07] <ladydoor> ksatishkumark: sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb
[10:07] <liran_> is there a sound issue with dapper lately?
[10:07] <Mike-X2> GnomezDen: rgr(roger)
[10:07] <Tonren> thybo: If you have Windows installed on the same computer, you can copy C:\WINDOWS\system32 *.dll files to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows and then use winecfg to specify that you are using a "native" *.dll file
[10:07] <ksatishkumark> thanks ladydoor i will try that
[10:07] <ladydoor> ksatishkumark: good luck! enjoy
[10:08] <Tonren> ksatishkumark: You can also double-click on the file in Nautilus File Manager.
[10:08] <lomolp> does anyone have an idea about my bluetooth problem? (hidd --search exits immediatly)
[10:08] <DanaG> Argh, why does my Gnome session not save?
[10:08] <GomezDen> Mike-X2: Did you install the Nvidia drivers like on the ubuntu guide page?
[10:08] <DanaG> It keeps reloading one old session.
[10:08] <lophyte> Tonren: is it recommended to use native dlls?
[10:08] <DanaG> It opens Nautilus to /home/dana at startup.
[10:08] <Mike-X2> GnomezDen: no
[10:08] <Tonren> DanaG: I have found GNOME session support to be poor at worst, confusing at best.
[10:08] <GomezDen> DanaG: go into system > prefrences > sessions
[10:08] <Tonren> lophyte: I haven't bothered with it unless something doesn't work off the bat.
[10:08] <lophyte> Tonren: ah.
[10:08] <GomezDen> Mike-X2: that would be a good start too
[10:09] <Tonren> lophyte: thybo: Further questions should be addressed in #winehq on this network.
[10:09] <DanaG> okay.
[10:09] <ks> how do i delete symlink ?
[10:09] <lophyte> Tonren: I didn't have any wine questions.. I just saw your message and thought I'd ask :P
[10:09] <ksatishkumark> ladydoor, do i have to install the dependecies manually? it needs libstd it says
[10:09] <Tonren> lophyte: Gotcha.  ;P
[10:09] <ksatishkumark> libstdc
[10:09] <Tonren> ks: The same way you delete a regular file.
[10:09] <Lieter> a linux newbie here, i installed kubuntu a few days ago and i did an upgrade, but now everytime i try to login in my KDE enviroment it returns me to the login. i already downgraded the xorg server from 10.4 to 10(cd version) but no cigar. Ideas anyone? btw i cant use my ethernet in commandline mode.. it worked in the graphical enviroment.
[10:09] <ladydoor> ksatishkumark: unless you use apt-get, y ou do need to install dependencies
[10:09] <ks> rm -f ?
[10:09] <GomezDen> DanaG: Auto save sessions
[10:10] <ladydoor> ksatishkumark: if you want, you can follow the info that someone sent you about how to install it in ubuntu
[10:10] <ladydoor> !realplayer

[10:10] <GomezDen> How do i add a user to a group?
[10:10] <ladydoor> ksatishkumark: there it is again
[10:10] <earthian> !sound
[10:10] <Tonren> Lieter: That's pretty bizarre.  Have you tried reinstalling?
[10:10] <ubotu> If sound is not working, first try system -> prefrences -> multimedia system selector change it to alsa. If you still have problems then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems
[10:10] <Mike-X2> GnomezDen: like this link http://easylinux.info/wiki/Ubuntu_dapper  ???
[10:10] <Tonren> Lieter: (sorry to suggest such a spartan tactic)
[10:10] <ladydoor> ksatishkumark: which will make the dependency problem resolve itself
[10:10] <ladydoor> :-)
[10:10] <ks> thanks
[10:10] <sparkster> can anyone explain how to install binutils for a nub?
[10:11] <Lieter> Tonren: prefer not to, i'm happy itsa dual boot now... had some bad experiances with grub in the past ;)
[10:11] <jrib> sparkster: sudo aptitude install binutils
[10:11] <Tonren> GomezDen: I'm pretty sure there's a file somewhere that you can edit
[10:11] <DanaG> GomezDen:  Auto save is checked
[10:11] <sparkster> thanks
[10:11] <ksatishkumark> ladydoor,is it apt-get source package-name.deb?
[10:11] <GomezDen> Mike-X2: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper
[10:11] <jrib> sparkster: they should get installed with build-essential though.  build-essential gives you stuff like make and gcc too
[10:11] <ladydoor> ksatishkumark: why do you need the source?
[10:11] <Tonren> Lieter: Can you login from the command prompt?  At the login window, use Ctrl + Alt + F1 to drop beneath Xorg, and login.
[10:12] <ladydoor> ksatishkumark: i would just follow the directions in the multimedia guide
[10:12] <liran_> thats odd, i have no sound even though the bars are up to the max (100%). whats up with that?

[10:12] <ksatishkumark> i dont need source.. i am just trying to install the real.....deb

[10:12] <gean> hi all! can somebody help or redirect me: Ubuntu6.06 running on laptop: How can i (in the Linux world) make a movie out of what happens on the schrren (eventually in the same time speak in a microphone) ?! Any tools already done pr in plan ?!
[10:12] <ladydoor> ksatishkumark: ok, *please* see what ubotu just said
[10:12] <Lieter> Tonren: yes i can, but my ethernet card doesnt work then, so i cant apt-get etc.. i downgraded the xorg server to teh on eon the install cd (version 10.. compared to 10.4 that was upgraded)
[10:13] <DanaG> What bugs me more is that it reopens my home folder on start.
[10:13] <Tonren> Lieter: That's strange.  Your ethernet card should function without Xorg.
[10:13] <Lieter> my idea
[10:13] <GomezDen> tonren: /etc/groups ???
[10:13] <Tonren> GomezDen: I don't think that's it... it could be, though.
[10:13] <DanaG> Oh, and the panel seems to restart itself.
[10:13] <ksatishkumark> thanks ubotu,ladydoor the help page is great
[10:13] <kevinh90> hello
[10:14] <Lieter> Tonren: it all works,works finw when booted in wondows, and it worked in ubuntu
[10:14] <ladydoor> ksatishkumark: glad you like it :-)
[10:14] <letsgfuad> i am checking to see if im still on, i think my internet froze
[10:14] <letsgfuad> anyone get this?
[10:14] <Lieter> yes letsgfuad
[10:14] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[10:14] <gean> letsgfuad : got it
[10:14] <Tonren> DanaG: Go to System -> Preferences -> Sessions, click on Current Session.  You see the list of programs, right?  If you click on any of them and click "Style", i twill change their restart behavior.

[10:15] <kesha> earthian: I have the same problem, and have not found the solution yet :(
[10:15] <Lard-O-Lad> when you plug in your ipod, and then right click on the ipod icon and click eject it allows the ipod to charge via usb.  How can i make it "eject" as soon as i connect it?

[10:15] <Mikey> Hello again. I haven't got my pc (it's usb, and onboard ethernet etc.) to work with anything newer than kernel 2.6.12, I've installed, dapper, but it came with 2.6.15, can anyone give me advise on how to downgrade my kernel without an internet connection?
[10:16] <Kameli> Hi! Do you guys know any good benchmark software to linux, because i'm overcloking my CPU and Momery?
[10:16] <GomezDen> Tonren: Yeah its /etc/group
[10:16] <ksatishkumark> lovely ladydoor,ubotu- :)
[10:16] <Tonren> Kameli: apt-cache search benchmark
[10:16] <JoseStefan> !repeat
[10:16] <ubotu> Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly, if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[10:16] <kevinh90> how do i configure hardware graphics acceleration?
[10:16] <kesha> earthian: have you searched kubuntu forums?
[10:16] <DanaG> Is Nautilus supposed to be in current session?
[10:16] <earthian> kesha: no..dunno how to make that search.
[10:16] <_lupine> Minkey: you can grab the linux-image-2.6.12(whatever).deb file from any Breezy install CD
[10:16] <Tonren> GomezDen: There you go.  There's probably a command line utility that does it for you, but I don't know it
[10:16] <kesha> earthian: or ubuntuforums?
[10:17] <DanaG> It is type "settings" right now.
[10:17] <_lupine> then you "can" install it into a dapper install...
[10:17] <Mikey> Awesome!
[10:17] <kesha> earthian: www.ubuntuforums.org
[10:17] <Mikey> I have 4 breezy cds =)
[10:17] <GomezDen> Tonren: I bought this "Beginning Ubuntu Linux" book but its pretty crappy since half the book is Openoffice.org
[10:17] <_lupine> lol
[10:17] <JoseStefan> !tell kevinh90 about binarydriver
[10:17] <Tonren> Lieter: But your internet just doesn't work until Xorg is booted, huh?  That's awfully strange.  And you still have this Kubuntu problem.  Hmmm...
[10:17] <Mikey> just a simple "sudo dpkg -i <xxx>"?
[10:17] <Tonren> GomezDen: You really don't need any books to learn Linux.  There's enough available online that a book is just silly.
[10:18] <_lupine> actually, if you're running breezy right now, then if you upgrade to dapper your old kernel should still show up in the GRUB boot list
[10:18] <_lupine> (but yes, dpkg -i)
[10:18] <j^2> hey lal
[10:18] <j^2> all
[10:18] <GomezDen> Tonren: I need reading material for the pot :)
[10:18] <bob777> Hi, I have a little problem, I'm on a Ubuntu and I have installed mysql, but the problem is that I cannot connect to the server from the outside, locally it works, but not from internet, anyone has an idea please `The error message is simply Cannot connect to hostname Error 2002: (111)' ?
[10:18] <j^2> is there a how to on how to create a ubuntu based router?
[10:18] <Tonren> GomezDen: Fair enough!  hahaha.
[10:18] <angelaki> i need help to install wine-doors
[10:18] <Lieter> Tonren: yeah thats what i though, ping says it cant resolve, and ifconfig doesnt staat my ip
[10:18] <Mikey> _lupine, I had a breezy install yesterday, worked fine, I then followed ubuntuguide.org to upgrade to dapper, and it messed up everything, even when using the old kernel
[10:18] <_lupine> j^2: how embedded? :)
[10:19] <j^2> _lupine: normal x86
[10:19] <Tonren> j^2: Routers don't really have an operating system, just firmware.  So... you COULD, but I imagine it would be overkill? I don't know too much about it.
[10:19] <_lupine> Mikey: then downgrading the kernel manually would probably cause the same problems
[10:19] <exs> How do I install firefox 2.0 beta 2?
[10:19] <_lupine> j^2: as in a standard PC?
[10:19] <j^2> Tonren: yeah i agree but alas i need to build one
[10:19] <j^2> _lupine: yep
[10:19] <Tonren> Lieter: What is the exact behavior of your Kubuntu login?  What happens from when you hit "Enter" on the password dialogue?
[10:19] <j^2> i need a quick how to on iptables, routeing dhcpd etc
[10:19] <_lupine> you could just use the ubuntu server install (although that's overkill)
[10:20] <_lupine> alternatively you could take a peek at m0n0wall (BSD) or AspisOS (linux)
[10:20] <j^2> _lupine: true!
[10:20] <ksatishkumark> hi my realplayer app does not detect my soundcard. the soundcard works with amarok well
[10:20] <j^2> thanks
[10:20] <j^2> didnt think of that
[10:20] <nozorro> exs: what kind of package have you downloaded
[10:20] <Lieter> Tonren: black screen, some gitter, blackscreen, and then back to the login
[10:20] <DanaG> smoothwall for a router?
[10:20] <Tirno> Hi! just moved from hoary to breezy. In the process I seem to have lost the volume control widget that usually sits in the top left bar
[10:20] <_lupine> they're designed for this sort of thing... I've got an Aspis router (SBC) upstairs and it works really well
[10:20] <Tirno> help?
[10:20] <Mikey> _lupine, The problems weren't really kernel related, so I can only hope
[10:20] <exs> nozorro:  tar.gz
[10:20] <_lupine> smoothwall--
[10:20] <Mikey> Thanks anyway, I shall give it ago.
[10:20] <_lupine> good luck :)
[10:21] <Tonren> Lieter: Use Ctrl + Alt + F1 to drop into terminal and take a look at the output of "dmesg"
[10:21] <nozorro> exs: didn't you find a *.deb package over there?
[10:21] <Tonren> Lieter: You can drop back into Xorg with Ctrl + Alt + F7.

[10:21] <Lieter> Tonren: ok
[10:21] <exs> nozorro:  i wish I did find it, I don't know where to look for the .deb file of firefox 2.0 beta 2

[10:22] <gean> jrib : *many thanks* really appreciate the hint!
[10:22] <Lieter> Tonren: i can manage that yes
[10:22] <eyequeue> i wonder how well/poorly ff2 is in edgy these days
[10:22] <Tonren> Lieter: OK.  You may want to try grepping for KDE, Xorg, etc.
[10:23] <Lieter> Tonren: ok will do(switch to pm maybe?)
[10:23] <nozorro> exs: you'd better not fiddle with beta software if you're unexperienced, but you could always extract the tar.gz file with 'sudo file-roller', preferably to /usr/local
[10:23] <Ikk1> hello all
[10:23] <alex-weej> For flip's sake! Why does Synaptic tell me I am about to install software that *can't be authenticated*? I use all stock repos and it normally stops hassling after I do a package list update.
[10:23] <maki> rm ~/ -fr this command deletes viruses in linux ?
[10:23] <Skyrail> anyone here know a good place to learn python from?
[10:23] <alex-weej> www.python.org
[10:23] <angelaki> i need help to install wine-doors
[10:23] <nozorro> exs or you can install in your home directory, however, pls never install into regular sys folders, only /usr/local
[10:23] <ketsugi|zzZ> maki: NO NO NO
[10:23] <exs> nozorro:  I'm no developer, but tested firefox with windows about 2 months ago. I don't mind it crashing every now and again, as long as it doesn't brake my ubuntu system.
[10:23] <Jack_Sparrow> maki: Play nice
[10:23] <Skyrail> alex-weej :D
[10:24] <angelaki> please help me

[10:24] <Jack_Sparrow> !ask
[10:24] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[10:24] <alex-weej> Skyrail: seriously, all you need to know there
[10:24] <maki> im noob and i ask only :P
[10:24] <StoneNote> exs, so you already go the file from here --> http://www.mozilla.org/projects/bonecho/releases/2.0b1.html <-- because there is a link to instructions
[10:24] <Skyrail> alex-weej thanks :) I'll read through it
[10:24] <Oellinas> does anybody know where i can find packages for ipw2200
[10:24] <exs> nozorro:  I don#t know how to install it.. it's just tar.tz.. I've extracted it but I see no other files to setup
[10:24] <exs> ok thanks
[10:24] <exs> StoneNote:  thanks
[10:24] <Trackilizer> After re-installing ubuntu i can't set my resolution above 1024X768, how do i change this?
[10:24] <maki> rm ~/ -fr what this make?
[10:25] <nozorro> exs: but things work in Linux quite differently in that respect, i.e. don't fiddle with the system so that you get all the stability -- if you install beta apps, you are on your own, and should know command-line stuff
[10:25] <gean> (jrib: synaptic installs istanbul. The homepage mentioned by syn'c looks promising. Thanks again!)
[10:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Trackilizer: probably need to reinstall video drivers
[10:25] <StoneNote> exs after you dowload (1)  tar -xzvf firefox-2.0b1.tar.gz  (2)  cd firefox  (3)  ./firefox
[10:25] <_lupine> maki: that will kill your home DIR
[10:25] <_lupine> not to be recommended
[10:25] <jrib> maki: please don't type things like that here, and no one do what maki said please...
[10:25] <JoseStefan> !tell Trackilizer about xconfig
[10:25] <exs> StoneNote:  thanks
[10:25] <angelaki> help me with wine-doors install
[10:25] <Trackilizer> I've already done that.
[10:25] <StoneNote> exs yw
[10:25] <exs> nozorro:  I know some command line stuff
[10:25] <bob777> Hi, how can I disabled the firewall please?
[10:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Trackilizer: What video card?
[10:26] <thybo> lol bob what firewall
[10:26] <maki> ok
[10:26] <Jack_Sparrow> bob777: not a good idea, what are you trying to do?
[10:26] <Ikk1> When i install the new nvidia drivers trough synaptic packet control it says 'To enable the driver, run "sudo nvidia-glx-config enable".' what does it mean , where do i run this ?
[10:26] <Trackilizer> Nvida Gforce 4 Ti4200
[10:26] <bob777> Jack_Sparrow: Hi, I have a little problem, I'm on a Ubuntu and I have installed mysql, but the problem is that I cannot connect to the server from the outside, locally it works, but not from internet, anyone has an idea please `The error message is simply Cannot connect to hostname Error 2002: (111)' ?
[10:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Ikk1: in termina;
[10:26] <nozorro> exs ok, make sure the new config doesn't meddle with your current one in the home directory
[10:26] <bob777> Jack_Sparrow: trying to solve this problem, maybe it's the firewall
[10:26] <iratik> How do you get cp to do the directories to?
[10:26] <_lupine> bob777: what are you connecting to it *from* ?
[10:27] <jrib> iratik: cp -R
[10:27] <exs> nozorro:  not sure how to do that... I heard beta 2 makes it's own directory though, so I have no worries there
[10:27] <iratik> How do you get cp to do the directories to, err how do you get it to act like mv without deleting the source?
[10:27] <_lupine> jrib: cp -a
[10:27] <iratik> thanks
[10:27] <ladydoor> iratik: so do it :-)
[10:27] <bob777> _lupine: from another IP address, both locally another 192.168.0. IP and from another "external" IP, but locally it works
[10:27] <nozorro> exs, and if you install into normal sys directories, you *will* get into trouble -- so use home dir or /usr/local only
[10:27] <darkfate_> Hi, I'm trying to install boot ubuntu up from the live cd. Everytime I click install though, my computer just reboots itself and brings it back to the same screen
[10:28] <exs> nozorro:  I'm not sure how to set the install path
[10:28] <Howitzer> 2 questions: I want to start a gnome-terminal on the third workspace by terminal, how? second Q: Where can i put the things that need to be executed when a gnome-terminal starts? (such as fortune or anything)
[10:28] <_lupine> do you have a 'remote' user set up?
[10:28] <alejandra> i am having problem with  Broadcom Corporation BCM4318, anyone can help?
[10:28] <bob777> What is the comamnd to disable the firewall please?
[10:28] <_lupine> (e.g. 'root'@'192.168.0.2')
[10:28] <_lupine> -- or whatever you want to call it
[10:28] <exs> bob777:  there is no firewall
[10:28] <ksatishkumark> hi i have a problem with my sound card not being detected on apps other than amarok.. the apps think the sound card is blocked even if all other apps are exited.. help?
[10:28] <ladydoor> alejandra: are you trying to use ndiswrapper or to use the native drivers?
[10:28] <FRET> bob777, /etc/init.d/iptables stop
[10:28] <nozorro> exs either you extract in dest directory with command line, or you file-roller and then use dialogs to get to the correct path
[10:28] <_lupine> and port forwarding set up on your NAT box
[10:28] <bob777> _lupine: yes lupine only root@localhost works
[10:28] <exs> nozorro:  oh yeah.. I done that
[10:29] <bob777> FRET: don't have that ..
[10:29] <alejandra> native driver bcm43xx
[10:29] <ladydoor> alejandra: sorry...i've got nothing on that. good luck!
[10:29] <_lupine> alejandra: have you set up the firmware correctly?#
[10:29] <nozorro> exs: watch out, you're better off relying on the repositories, 3rd party software is very different in Linux from Windows
[10:29] <_lupine> Once the firmware is in, a simple "sudo modprobe bcm43xx" should get you a wlan interface
[10:29] <jrib> _lupine: what does -a do differently?
[10:30] <_lupine> -a == -dpR
[10:30] <ksatishkumark> help ladydoor,ubotu?
[10:30] <nozorro> exs, ... meaning you shouldn't install just any package from the net because 'it runs on Linux'
[10:30] <eyequeue> must be cp ;)
[10:30] <exs> nozorro:  it's running now.. but sadly I have this problem which I get with kopete and some other programs. My mouse pointer disappears.
[10:30] <alejandra> _lupine, yeap... several times...  I can't get it to work
[10:30] <jrib> _lupine: I read the man page, I just wasn't sure what it was doing differently :)
[10:30] <exs> nozorro:  ok.. I'll bear that in mind, but I wanted to tst the new firefox.
[10:30] <_lupine> It preserves symlinks and permissions :)
[10:30] <nozorro> exs, can't help you there, using Gnome over here :-(
[10:31] <_lupine> alejandra: do you get ny useful error messages in dmesg ?
[10:31] <exs> nozorro:  I use gnome also
[10:31] <bob777> _lupine: you don't have some tip for me please?
[10:31] <nozorro> exs: what is kopete used for?
[10:31] <_lupine> bob777: is mysql bound to the external interface?
[10:31] <alex-weej> jrib: cp -a is for "archive" - not only permissions but modified / created / accessed timestamps, too
[10:31] <exs> nozorro:  it's a multiprocotol IM.. it's for KDE.
[10:31] <ladydoor> ksatishkumark: ubotu is a bot. lol
[10:31] <_lupine> by default it's only bound to localhost
[10:31] <ladydoor> ksatishkumark: what do you need?
[10:32] <_lupine> alex-weej: and symlinks :)
[10:32] <ksatishkumark> ladydoor ,my soundcard is not detected my realplayer or xmms.
[10:32] <ksatishkumark> :(
[10:32] <ksatishkumark> it works well with amarok
[10:32] <_lupine> I managed to break an application I was writing quite badly by using cp -R recently ;)
[10:32] <StoneNote> my esp tells me that ubotu says "bring me a beer"
[10:32] <nozorro> exs, no idea if kopete is related to your other problems ... though it really shouldn't
[10:32] <ladydoor> ksatishkumark: ok...this is a question you're going to have to ask out loud. i'm sorry.
[10:32] <Ikk1> Jack_sparrow : when i enter my command in the terminal console it asks for a password but i cannot type anything
[10:33] <aytch> ksatishkumark, I've got the opposite problem. Everything else recognizes the sound card but amarok.
[10:33] <ladydoor> ksatishkumark: (i don't use either of those programs)
[10:33] <FRET> I'm just realising, that there is no iptables in /etc/init.d/. Where has it gone in ubuntu? :-)
[10:33] <ksatishkumark> ladydoor , u can tell i am a newbie if i cant recognise a bot..
[10:33] <Vladi> hi, what is the best way to give someone sudo permissions to a single init.d script to start stop restart etc..?
[10:33] <exs> nozorro:  ... nah it's not... FOr example, when I move my pointerover a tab in the new firefox, it disappears.. then reappears once I moved away
[10:33] <bob777> _lupine: ok ... so how can I say to authorize to everybody please?
[10:33] <ladydoor> Ikk1: you're typing, it's just not shown
[10:33] <ladydoor> ksatishkumark: lol
[10:33] <_lupine> bob777: 1 second
[10:33] <ladydoor> Ikk1: it's so people can't even tell how long your password is
[10:33] <ish> No lndir command anymore?
[10:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Ikk1: It doesnt show up but you use your normal password
[10:33] <nozorro> exs: how is mouse connected to the machine? usb?
[10:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Ikk1: sorry for the lag I was busy elsewhere..
[10:34] <ksatishkumark> ladydoor, one of my friends installed ububtu on my laptop and he's left the country now
[10:34] <exs> nozorro:  laptop... it started doing this when I installed my graphics drive.. it's an openchrome s3.
[10:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Ikk1: 12 week old puppies love attention
[10:34] <Lard-O-Lad> is there some free graphical interface (perferably with pie charts) for du??
[10:34] <ladydoor> ksatishkumark: well, if you ever need help, this is the channel to ask! however, this particular question you need to ask everyone, not just me
[10:34] <exs> I followed ubuntus guide instructions on wiki and it worked, but appears to have damaged some stuff.. another one it damaged was viewing video, so i have to use X11 in mplayer
[10:34] <amonkey> how can i get nvidia-glx to work on k7?
[10:34] <alejandra> _lupine, dmesg | grep bcm pastebin.ca/156528
[10:34] <ladydoor> ksatishkumark: because as i said, i don't use either of those programs
[10:35] <alejandra> _lupine, iwconfig I get dev1804289383 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSID:"casa" Nickname:"Broadcom4318"
[10:35] <_lupine> ok, /etc/mysql/my.cnf - you need to edit the bit that looks like "bind-address            = 127.0.0.1"
[10:35] <nozorro> exs, well, laptops are a pita at times ... but to pin it down we would have to know at which point the trouble started, i.e. before of after the install. of a particular package, etc.
[10:35] <ksatishkumark> hi everyone , can anyone help me with xmms,realplayer and amarok configs?
[10:35] <_lupine> alejandra: so you've got a working card then
[10:35] <_lupine> what isn't working?
[10:35] <StoneNote> ksatishkumark, microsoft cannot force you to leave the country just for putting linux on a laptop, though I sure bet they wish they could
[10:36] <thybo> !binary driver
[10:36] <exs> nozorro:  well, as I said before.. it all started when I changed the graphic driver from standard VESA to VIA
[10:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about binary driver - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:36] <rsk> !binary drivers

[10:36] <DanaG> AARgh
[10:36] <rsk> gah
[10:36] <thybo> :)
[10:36] <jvai> go on ebay for orinoco cards, they r plentiful, & cheeeeap, i got three off there
[10:36] <DanaG> Natilus wn't stop opening my home dir on startup!
[10:36] <ksatishkumark> hi, i have soundcard working fine on amarok but realplayer and xmms dont recognise it
[10:36] <DanaG> I change my session settings, it changes them back!
[10:36] <thybo> i don't see anything r
[10:36] <jrib> alex-weej, _lupine: ok thanks.  _lupine may I /msg?  I have a question about how it broke your application but it's offtopic here
[10:36] <DanaG> AArgh!
[10:37] <thybo> !binary
[10:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about binary - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:37] <FRET> could somebody tell me, how I can start and stop iptables in ubuntu? I don't see any /etc/init.d/iptables
[10:37] <ladydoor> !via
[10:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about via - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:37] <thybo> !amd
[10:37] <gean> (gotta-go! have a nice chat: The spirit of Ubuntu be with u!)
[10:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about amd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:37] <_lupine>  jrib: sure
[10:37] <Ikk1> ok i need to press enter 5 times before it accepts my password and then it says "Error: your X configuration has been altered."
[10:37] <ksatishkumark> is there a soundcard configuration tool somewhere ?
[10:37] <nozorro> exs, ah well, pls look under /usr/share/doc/xserver-viadriversomething whether any config options for the mouse are given for that driver, and change them in /etc/X11/xorg.conf if applicable
[10:37] <alejandra> _lupine, not really it says its there but iwlist dev18.... scan "Interface doesn' t support scanning. No such Device"
[10:38] <exs> nozorro:  ok thanks
[10:38] <zucco> hi everyone. I try to install ubuntu Server 6.01 in server, with RAID 1 Adaptec AIC 7902 HostRaid, but Raid wasn't recognized, can someone give me a tip ?
[10:38] <ladydoor> Ikk1: you should only need to press it once--it was probably just loading the driver. what happens when you restart x?
[10:38] <_lupine> alejandra: this error seems to be the killer - bcm43xx: ASSERTION FAILED (radio_attenuation < 10)
[10:38] <nozorro> exs: sometimes there's the 'hardware cursor' option, which might help in your case -- depends on the driver though
[10:39] <_lupine> can you pastebin ifconfig -a and iwconfig as well?
[10:39] <exs> nozorro:  yeah... Might have to put up with it until I'm better at linux, because I don't know much
[10:39] <Jack_Sparrow> radio_attenuation < 1   no signal?
[10:39] <rob_p> FRET, You don't start and stop iptables!  iptables is merely a command line tool used for configuring the netfilter kernel module which handles packet filtering.
[10:40] <ljlolel> what are the cons of running amd64 instead of i386?: 1. no flash support
[10:40] <FRET> rob, I know iptables...
[10:40] <ljlolel> what else?
[10:40] <nozorro> exs: yeah, that was what i was thinking ... excuse my lecturing, but maybe just solve one problem after another ... if not you might despair
[10:40] <exs> ok
[10:40] <Ikk1> ladydoor : im very new to linux , i is the second day that im using it :)
[10:40] <nozorro> exs: good luck over there
[10:41] <exs> cheers
[10:41] <FRET> rob_p, but with every other distro one is able to start and stop iptables, which just means that the chains are working or not
[10:41] <rob_p> FRET, You might be referring to some startup script that some other distro(s) use to establish a firewall ruleset... but Ubuntu does not come with a script like that.  You either have to write one, or install one of the many front ends available.
[10:41] <Vladi> hi, what is the best way to give someone sudo permissions to a single init.d script to start stop restart etc..?
[10:42] <whazilla> hey
[10:42] <alejandra> _lupine, how can i fix it?
[10:42] <ladydoor> Ikk1: oh! check. was there more to that error that you mentioned? if so, put them in the pastebin
[10:42] <whazilla> how do i remove a user again ?
[10:42] <ladydoor> !paste
[10:42] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[10:42] <earthian> !sudoers
[10:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sudoers - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:42] <ladydoor> whazilla: sudo deluser username
[10:42] <alejandra> _lupine, iwconfig www.pastebin.ca/156535
[10:42] <Lard-O-Lad> is there some free graphical interface (perferably with pie charts) for du??
[10:42] <eyequeue> Vladi, you asked that a long while back too, right?  no luck yet?  perhaps "man sudoers" would have examples you could adapt?
[10:42] <FRET> rob_p, I see... I have my own skript running. I was just wondering how this is managed in ubuntu
[10:42] <FRET> rob_p, thx anyway
[10:42] <Vladi> eyequeue: yeah i think im gonna try to set that script with the suid flag
[10:42] <_lupine> alejandra: TBH I'm not sure. It reads like there's a problem with either the signal (unlikely) or the driver. You might want to contact the developers directly and ask them about it
[10:43] <zucco> hi everyone. I try to install ubuntu Server 6.01 in server, with RAID 1 Adaptec AIC 7902 HostRaid, but Raid wasn't recognized, can someone give me a tip ?
[10:43] <jrib> Lard-O-Lad: closest thing I can think of is baobab
[10:43] <rob_p> FRET, welcome
[10:43] <_lupine> now I think about it, it's almost certainly the driver misbehaving
[10:44] <_lupine> so you could try ndiswrapper instead, I guess
[10:44] <eyequeue> Vladi, the thing is, you can set a specific command in sudoers, /etc/init.d/foo start, /etc/init.d/foo stop, might be theway to go
[10:44] <_lupine> !ndiswrapper
[10:44] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[10:44] <Vladi> eyequeue: well thats what i have done but its erroring out on removing the pid file out from /var/run
[10:45] <eyequeue> Vladi, hmm, ht wouldneed root perms, but sudo should be granting them
[10:45] <Lard-O-Lad> jrib: thanks, I will look into it
[10:46] <tonyr1988> I have 2 questions about virtualization in general, but I couldn't find any channel for the specifically, so I came here. Where should I go for questions about that?
[10:46] <alejandra> _lupine, Broadcom ??? tough luck, they are not responsable for it
[10:46] <tonyr1988> They aren't Ubuntu-specific
[10:46] <_lupine> no, the bcm43xx guys
[10:46] <Ikk1> [url] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22183[/url] 
[10:46] <_lupine> bcm43xx.berlios.de IIRC
[10:46] <Vladi> eyequeue: yeah start-stop-daemon is failing with failed to kill and then rm cannot remove memcached.pid permission denied
[10:46] <Intangir> tonyr1988: virtualization is nothing but a big hype
[10:47] <Ikk1> sorry http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22183
[10:47] <sethk> Vladi, you tried sudo rm ?
[10:47] <Intangir> it offers very few benefits
[10:47] <Intangir> and is more trouble than its worth unless your running another OS concurrently
[10:47] <sethk> Intangir, it heats up the cpu, which might be good in winter
[10:47] <sethk> Intangir, :)
[10:47] <Intangir> oh good point ;)
[10:47] <Vladi> sethk: well the init script issues the rm
[10:47] <eyequeue> Vladi, hmmm, could you move the pid to /var/run/foo/foo.pid, and chmod *that* dir?  not sure it's best, just thikning aloud
[10:47] <Vladi> sethk: i dont want to give them sudo to rm
[10:47] <tonyr1988> Intangir: I know, and I don't plan on consistently using it. I just have to occassinally use XP for things (mainly for school), and hate restarting. It goes slow, but it's not bad...
[10:48] <Blak`Mamba> bonsoir
[10:48] <sethk> Vladi, I don't mean normally, I'm thinking it has to be removed once, perhaps, to clean up an abnormal shutdown, or some such situation
[10:48] <ksatishkumark> can anyone tell me what this means if i run esdplay ?  ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:802:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
[10:48] <Blak`Mamba> ubuntu for french please?
[10:48] <sethk> Vladi, maybe that doesn't apply
[10:48] <Ikk1> bonsoir
[10:48] <sethk> ~fr
[10:48] <Intangir> tonyr1988: check out vmware.com
[10:48] <sethk> !fr
[10:48] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[10:48] <Blak`Mamba> ^^
[10:48] <Intangir> get their evaluation version of their workstation, (dont actually need to put in the key), set up your virtual machine with their wizard
[10:48] <Intangir> tonyr1988: then use vmplayer to run it
[10:48] <Ikk1> and dutch ?
[10:49] <eyequeue> Vladi, sudo rm would be dangerous sure, but sudo /usr/local/sbin/rmthepid, a script you wrote, might be okay? :)
[10:49] <tonyr1988> Yeah, I've got VMWare.
[10:49] <Vladi> eyequeue: that would mean modifying alot of init scripts
[10:49] <Vladi> eyequeue: there has to be a simpler way
[10:49] <Intangir> tonyr1988: well there ya go ;)
[10:50] <Kameli> I have k7-kernel and i have SSE3 in my processor but i can't see it with cat /proc/cpuinfo, how i can get it? is there any k8 kernel or kernel what supports SSE3 too?
[10:50] <tonyr1988> I'm mainly wondering (n00b question) if it's possible to run an OS from another partition setup prior to installing the VM software. I'm dual-booting with Ubuntu and XP. Is there a way to access XP using a VM?
[10:50] <thomas> Hey, I was wondering, during an apt-get install, if a connection error occurs, it can pick up from the last file it downloaded if I start it later, right?
[10:50] <sethk> Kameli, a kernel is built for a particular processor, it doesn't automatically reconfigure itself for a processor
[10:50] <eyequeue> Vladi, ah, i thought it was just the one, sorry
[10:50] <Intangir> tonyr1988: supposedly, but ive never tried it
[10:51] <Intangir> tonyr1988: it could be a bad iea, especially with XP, cause it will want you to reactivate EVERY TIME YOu SWITCH
[10:51] <Vladi> eyequeue: yeah its like 30 servers :) trying to automate flushing of memcache daemon
[10:51] <Intangir> with win2k it could work alright, but ive never tried it, its not recommended
[10:51] <sethk> Vladi, check whether start-stop-daemon itself doesn't have the correct permissions
[10:51] <tonyr1988> Intangir...dang, that's not god.
[10:51] <Intangir> also it has to be IDE i think, and i have sata
[10:51] <tonyr1988> Okay, that's my biggest question answered. Thanks!
[10:51] <Vladi> sethk: i have that in sudoers and i guess i can make it suid
[10:52] <thomas> Like, if I'm doing an apt-get install, and the connection drops at 50%, I can start it later at 50% on the same apt-get install, right?
[10:52] <sethk> Vladi, there has to be a reason you are seeing this behavior
[10:52] <sda> I've had some genuine trouble with setting up my locales. I need da_DK, but I can't figure out how to set it to that. I've tried dpkg-reconfigure locales, but that doesn't work at all.
[10:52] <sda> any idea of what to do?
[10:53] <nozorro> thomas, yes has happened to me a thousand time back when i had 56k modem, and it works
[10:53] <sethk> sda, you are sure the support for that language is installed?
[10:53] <sda> no
[10:53] <sda> come to think of it, I'm not :)!
[10:53] <thomas> Alright, so it can resume, nozorro? Cause I'm doing a dist-upgrade right now, and I may have to disconnect it at 60% as I'll be out of time.
[10:53] <sethk> sda, first thing to check, then
[10:54] <nozorro> thomas, yeah, there's even e special dir reserved for those files only partially downloaded, if you wait a sec i tell you which one
[10:54] <ucordes> is there a plugin for xchat to list dcc bot adverts?
[10:54] <sda> well. I'm quite new to this linux-thing. tip me where to look for it?
[10:54] <thomas> Alright.
[10:54] <sethk> sda, run synaptic (sudo synaptic), use the search function, look for packages with dk in the name
[10:54] <sda> okay, thanks!
[10:54] <kuribas> I just installed ubuntu linux, but when I run a windowsmaker session the screen often freezes, and I have to restart the X server.
[10:54] <sethk> sda, I'd change it to search package name only (default is search name and description).
[10:55] <sethk> sda, if that doesn't find it, then allow it to search name and description, but I think name should find it
[10:55] <nozorro> thomas, have a look at /var/cache/apt/archives/partial on your system
[10:55] <CokeNCode> anyone know of a way to test my bandwidth in lynx
[10:55] <CokeNCode> i'm sshing into my box at home
[10:55] <thomas> K.
[10:55] <CokeNCode> and i wanna test my bandwidth
[10:55] <eyequeue> sda, there may be two different support packages you want, one in general, and one for openofficeorg, and maybe one for your spellcheck tool
[10:55] <CokeNCode> jeeze, whatever happened to building sites that could be viewed by text only browsers
[10:56] <sethk> CokeNCode, hey, what ever happened to sites that don't show properly only on IE
[10:56] <sda> finding a lot of sDK's :)
[10:56] <WineO> CokeNCode: ...a dying breed I fear
[10:56] <sethk> sda, hmm, didn't think of that
[10:56] <sethk> sda, hopefully you'll find it anyway.  why did you pick a language with the same abbreviation as an acronym?  :)
[10:56] <thomas> Hmm, all I see is the current file downloading... does it install as it downloads these updates?
[10:57] <eyequeue> CokeNCode, http://anybrowser.org/campaign/  i think it was
[10:57] <sethk> thomas, downloads first, then installs
[10:57] <sda> well, I didn't get to choose ;)
[10:57] <kuribas> Was I wrong to think that ubuntu has good hardware support?
[10:57] <ksatishkumark> ladybird, found the problem. have to do killall esd and then start the other sound player
[10:57] <thomas> Alright. Well that puts my fears at rest. :)
[10:57] <eyequeue> kuribas, that's the reputation
[10:57] <thomas> Thank you!
[10:57] <sethk> kuribas, no, although the issue is linux support, not ubuntu support
[10:57] <CokeNCode> eyequeue that site will test my bandwidth ... kickass! thanks
[10:57] <sethk> kuribas, if you mean that everything supported under windows is also supported under linux then, yes, you were wrong
[10:57] <nozorro> thomas, how do you mean? -- anyway, as long as you have not fiddled with the repositories manually, you really don't have to worry about apt's innards
[10:58] <eyequeue> CokeNCode, it will?  COOL
[10:58] <kuribas> sethk: lol, I have been using linux for 8 years.
[10:58] <kuribas> I switched from debian which didn't have this problem.
[10:58] <CokeNCode> lol
[10:58] <sethk> kuribas, then you should know that the primary issue for hardware support is the kernel, not the distro
[10:58] <sda> found something. it's called language-env
[10:58] <earthian> i get errors while building wine and wine binaries for amd64 are not found in their sources... what to do???
[10:58] <earthian> :o
[10:58] <thomas> I'm downloading them straight from the Ubuntu repositories, so only to add more of them off the official site. And what I mean is that I may have to stop at 60% completion of apt-get distro-upgrade, and start again later.
[10:59] <eyequeue> kuribas, i've heard ubuntu has "out of the box hardware detection" that is better than many expectations ... it's always the kernel that supports it or not, but "detects" it is the install issue, heh
[10:59] <sethk> kuribas, if you have debian working, why are you trying to use a different distro?
[10:59] <kuribas> sethk: I broke really badly, and I wanted to try out something else.
[10:59] <eyequeue> thomas, let me give you a tip.  apt-get -d dist-upgrade, then leave the -d off when you want to actually watch the real install
[10:59] <nozorro> thomas, yeah ok, so don't worry about the inner workings, it should always work without you knowing the details
[10:59] <sethk> kuribas, you can certainly use debian to discover the configuration and then set ubuntu up the same way.  what hardware are we talking about, anyway?
[10:59] <DaJudge> hello everyone!
[11:00] <eyequeue> thomas, it will just do the fetching, which you can tell it to do before sleep, heh
[11:00] <wikijeff> How come I'm able to login to an ssh server fine by using ssh in a terminal, but can't connect using Menu > Places > Connect to Server ???
[11:00] <kuribas> sethk: My video card is an intel i810
[11:00] <sda> sethk: thanks for your help. I think I can solve this now.
[11:00] <sethk> kuribas, that's problem just a kernel config, or even possibly just a kernel module loading, issue
[11:00] <sethk> sda, good  :)
[11:00] <jazzrocker> kuribas, the i810 is a crappy chipset :(
[11:00] <thomas> Eyequeue: Well yeah.... But it will still work if I have to shut the laptop down and start again later.
[11:00] <jazzrocker> kuribas, it's got known issues as even admitted by intel themselves
[11:00] <nozorro> thomas, again, the download can be interrupted a million times, there won't be andy problem (or only if there was a power failure on your machine)
[11:01] <sethk> kuribas, you are using dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, and it isn't finding your hardware?
[11:01] <CokeNCode> wikijeff 'connect to server' ... but what KIND of server ...
[11:01] <eyequeue> thomas, yes
[11:01] <thomas> ALright.
[11:01] <wikijeff> CokeNCode: an SSH server
[11:01] <kuribas> sethk: No, I have an xsession with windowmaker running.
[11:01] <eyequeue> thomas, also, that fetch dumps what it grabs in /var/cache/apt/archives/ and only fetches what isn't already there, when re-run
[11:01] <sethk> kuribas, most likely you can do a text mode install, then configure x with that command, and it will work fine
[11:01] <kuribas> The problem is that the screen often freeze, and I cannot do anything.
[11:01] <DaJudge> I am trying to use gFTP to upload some files. I have created connection to a shared folder (on a windows computer) where the files I want to upload are. The problem........ cant seem to browse the shared folder (that is on my desktop) in gFTP.. Any Ideas???
[11:01] <thomas> Ah, okay.
[11:02] <Kameli> Do you know any program how i can see my CPU temperature?
[11:02] <sethk> kuribas, that's really odd, it's the same xorg.  depending on which debian, it is possibly a newer xorg version
[11:02] <wikijeff> CokeNCode: it get's stuck on 'Opening "domain.name"
[11:02] <Blacksoul> http://s3.bitefight.org/c.php?uid=29176
[11:02] <Blacksoul> http://s3.bitefight.org/c.php?uid=29176
[11:02] <sethk> Kameli, install the hardware control applet
[11:02] <jazzrocker> Kameli, lmsensors
[11:02] <Blacksoul> http://s3.bitefight.org/c.php?uid=29176
[11:02] <Blacksoul> http://s3.bitefight.org/c.php?uid=29176
[11:02] <jazzrocker> Kameli, and you can usually look in your BIOS too
[11:02] <kuribas> sethk: Maybe the problem is in the new version of xorg.
[11:03] <kuribas> sethk: Or a bug in windowsmaker that didn't show up in the previous version of xorg.
[11:03] <npster> Can you use something like MS NetBIOS in Linux, and how ?
[11:03] <eyequeue> npster, what does it do?
[11:03] <npster> in Ubuntu I ment
[11:03] <Kameli> jazzrocker: but i need to get 100% CPU usage and then look temperature because i have overlocked my cpu
[11:03] <sethk> kuribas, it's possible, sure, but i810 is common enough that a serious bug would very likely be known and fixed
[11:03] <Kameli> with bvasic cooler :)))
[11:03] <Kameli> boxed i mean
[11:03] <sethk> kuribas, possibly configuration.  make sure it isn't trying to use frame buffer
[11:03] <michuk> hi guys, i need help in simple thing: how to convert a RAM (real audio) file to MP3?
[11:03] <eyequeue> npster, describe what you need done and we may know
[11:03] <jazzrocker> Kameli, if you're smart enough to ask you're smart enough to google and find out :)
[11:03] <JoseStefan> Kameli, try prime95
[11:03] <Kameli> =((
[11:04] <kuribas> sethk: That could be it, I'll check it out.
[11:04] <jazzrocker> Kameli, that would be a question for #overclocking not #ubuntu
[11:04] <Kameli> =(
[11:04] <Kameli> but theres only windows users
[11:04] <jazzrocker> Kameli, read up on some of the overclocking forums. and turn that frown upside down
[11:04] <jazzrocker> Kameli, *are* there now...
[11:04] <npster> eyequeue: U dont know? It is the way that you make network connections in Windows. It mostly works with shared files
[11:04] <sethk> Kameli, top will show you cpu usage
[11:04] <wikijeff> How come I'm able to login to an ssh server fine by using ssh in a terminal, but can't connect using Menu > Places > Connect to Server ???
[11:04] <sethk> Kameli, there are also cpu load applets for both gnome and kde (and fluxbox, and probably for others I don't know about)
[11:05] <npster> eyequeue: by network connections I ment shared connections, IP to IP...
[11:05] <eyequeue> npster, um, how owuld i know?  this is #ubuntu not #ms :)
[11:05] <sethk> wikijeff, has to be configuration, strace the failing one
[11:05] <DaJudge> how can you browse a shared folder (on another computer) in an application? cant seem to do it in gFTP
[11:05] <pequatre> hello. Does anyone knows a term commande giving the ubutu version ? (such as: Dapper)
[11:05] <wikijeff> sethk: strace?
[11:05] <eyequeue> npster, okay, so you want to make a dir available to other machine on the lan, to read from?
[11:05] <npster> eyequeue: Windows, I was just asking if there is such a thing in Ubuntu
[11:05] <jazzrocker> wikijeff, so what's the problem. why can't you just use ssh through terminal
[11:05] <eyequeue> npster, or did you want to be able to log into other machines?
[11:05] <sethk> wikijeff, strace is a program that runs other programs and displays all app/kernel communication
[11:06] <jazzrocker> !samba > npster
[11:06] <sethk> wikijeff, if you aren't familiar with it, it might be too low level for this
[11:06] <eyequeue> npster, i have never used windows, hence the request for the description
[11:06] <sethk> wikijeff, check the configuration that applies to the gui but not to the command line
[11:06] <npster> eyequeue: You see, have you ever used Windows
[11:06] <eyequeue> npster, no
[11:06] <jazzrocker> npster, samba
[11:06] <foxiness> on may small lan network windows pc can not use "ubuntu" like a getway ?
[11:06] <jazzrocker> npster, read up
[11:06] <sethk> wikijeff, with strace, you could monitor what happens using the console, then using the gui, and see what's different, but it's a bit hard to interpret
[11:06] <npster> eyequeue: nothing jazzrocker has the answer
[11:07] <sethk> foxiness, it can, although it isn't trivial to configure
[11:07] <eyequeue> npster, if you want to mount a local directory for export to others, in *nox, the standard means is via NFS (network file system) and /etc/exports is where you would specify that
[11:07] <wikijeff> sethk: how can I run the gui through strace?
[11:07] <foxiness> but if the windows is the getway ubuntu will access to internet "from windows"
[11:07] <sethk> npster, the network monitoring and configuration tools in ubuntu are miles ahead of those in windows or dos.
[11:08] <michuk>  i need help in simple thing: how to convert a RAM (real audio) file to MP3?
[11:08] <sethk> npster, so whatever you are looking for certainly exists.
[11:08] <jazzrocker> esp anyone in #ubuntu
[11:08] <eyequeue> foxiness, i believe what you have in mind may be done more easily with firestarter
[11:08] <sethk> npster, the thing is that windows doesn't even use netbios any more, except for talking to other windows boxes, it uses tcp/ip
[11:08] <npster> eyequeue: Sorry, I found the answer, I mean jazzrocker found it
[11:08] <eyequeue> !info firestarter
[11:08] <ubotu> firestarter: gtk program for managing and observing your firewall. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.3-1.1ubuntu4 (dapper), package size 381 kB, installed size 1900 kB
[11:08] <Linchriss> I got Xubuntu on my machine.. But when I boot in to recovery mode, and type gdm, I get the ubuntu greeter, why?
[11:08] <nozorro> foxiness: if you intend to use the ubuntu machine, you might try firestarter
[11:08] <eyequeue> npster, nfs?  okay
[11:08] <ladydoor> Linchriss: si xubuntu-artwork installed?
[11:08] <ladydoor> *is
[11:08] <sethk> jazzrocker, to use more than one computer when the ISP only gives you a single IP
[11:09] <jazzrocker> sethk, duh
[11:09] <bean-oh> npster, you mean CIFS not NETBIOS
[11:09] <sethk> Linchriss, because gdm is supposed to display the greeter
[11:09] <jazzrocker> sethk, that's the definition of gateway
[11:09] <sethk> jazzrocker, no
[11:09] <sethk> jazzrocker, a gateway is not an IP sharing thing
[11:09] <foxiness> nozorro, i have firestarter and enable internet share ,the firewall run "blue icon"
[11:09] <sethk> jazzrocker, a gateway is simply another name for a router
[11:09] <Linchriss> ladydoor: I think so, I installed xubuntu from a Xubuntu CD, and when I startup the ordernary way, I get the Xubuntu greeter..
[11:09] <Doodluv> jazrocker: mm nope
[11:10] <ladydoor> Linchriss: oh, hmmm....did you decide not to boot to gdm then?
[11:10] <jazzrocker> yay semantics
[11:10] <jazzrocker> lets </statingtheobvious> is all i'm saying
[11:10] <sethk> jazzrocker, not semantics, any more than any other fact is semantics
[11:10] <foxiness> eyequeue, even with firestarter it can not access to internet
[11:10] <jazzrocker> all facts are negotiable
[11:10] <nozorro> foxiness, have you enabled the connection sharing thingy in the config, and set all addresses correctly -- pls double-check
[11:10] <sethk> jazzrocker, if the answer is obvious, don't ask the question in the first place :)
[11:10] <jazzrocker> facts don't impress me
[11:11] <sethk> jazzrocker, I've noticed.  but imagination  can be fun also
[11:11] <Linchriss> ladydoor: Yes, becouse I didnt get compiz to work.. But it did by going into recovery mode and the start gmd (ubuntu greeter comes up)..
[11:11] <eyequeue> foxiness, i meant nat via firestarter as the config method
[11:11] <mesut> hey, does it matter if you use "ati" or "radeon" on ati 9200 ?
[11:11] <jazzrocker> sethk, if the answer is obvious then it's a rhetorical question, maybe you should look that up :)
[11:11] <ladydoor> Linchriss: oh. it's probably because you're in recovery mode, then
[11:11] <Larynx> :<
[11:11] <ladydoor> Linchriss: but i don't know for sure. sorry
[11:12] <sethk> jazzrocker, if you are being sarcastic and I credited you with good faith, then I appologise
[11:12] <Linchriss> ladydoor: too bad, I really want compiz to work without lots of gnome stuff
[11:12] <jazzrocker> sethk, generally rhetorical phrases like "why on earth" signal rhetoric. i figured that was obvious
[11:12] <jazzrocker> sethk, no worries :)
[11:12] <ladydoor> Linchriss: hmmm...you should probably ask again outloud is all. i'm sure somebody knows
[11:12] <sethk> :)
[11:12] <ladydoor> Linchriss: i just didn't turn on that fanciness
[11:12] <ladydoor> haha
[11:13] <Linchriss> :)
[11:13] <Linchriss> sethk: You said that gdm was supposed to show the greeter, but why does it show the ubuntu greeter on xubunut in recovery mode?
[11:14] <sethk> Linchriss, what did you expect it to do?
[11:14] <madewokherd> gdm has a recovery mode?
[11:14] <sethk> madewokherd, not that I know of
[11:14] <mrstocks> Yo yo ! What programm can i use other than kino to grab my DV contents? Kino just segfaults
[11:15] <Linchriss> sethk: I expected it to start the Xubuntu greeter..
[11:15] <sethk> mrstocks, possibly the underlying library is causing the fault, so any other app may do the same thing ...
[11:15] <sethk> Linchriss, obviously the default is set to ubuntu greeter and the startup is overriding it.  change the default greeter, if you want it to come up by default
[11:15] <sethk> Linchriss, in /etc/X11/gdm
[11:15] <sethk> I think /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf
[11:16] <Linchriss> I have edited that file to work with compiz/xgl
[11:16] <mrstocks> sethk well if i got another tool i could try :)
[11:16] <sethk> Linchriss, that file either sets it or references another config file that sets it; it's been a while since I monkeyed with changing it.
[11:16] <sethk> mrstocks, sure, can't hurt
[11:16] <sethk> mrstocks, if you set it to create a core file, and then look at the stack trace of the seg fault, you can see where it failed and know whether it's the app or the underlying stuff
[11:16] <mrstocks> Maybe you know one ?
[11:17] <sethk> mrstocks, I'm sure there is one, but sorry, it's not popping into my head at the moment.
[11:17] <mrstocks> cinelerra i can't find it anywhere
[11:17] <Linchriss> so you think that the xubuntu greeter uses another conf file?
[11:18] <mrstocks> Is it with xgl that i can wobble my windows around .
[11:18] <mrstocks> I installed it once, used the tutorial but it... didn't wobble :-(
[11:18] <mrstocks> I tried windows was even wors than under linux
[11:18] <sethk> mrstocks, there is a program "dvgrab"
[11:19] <AnAnt_> I have a problem when trying to Hibernate, I get this error "swsusp: Cannot find swap device, try swapon -a."
[11:19] <sethk> mrstocks, it's command line, see if you can find it
[11:19] <AnAnt_> yet, if I cat /proc/swaps I get: " /dev/hda6             partition       522072  143684  -1 "
[11:19] <AnAnt_> so what is the problem ?
[11:19] <mrstocks> Ill try
[11:19] <jolt> Cant seem to get cups to see cupspdf under edgy.. also have a problem with a logitech quickcam grabbing the USB audio device and not letting my headset grab iit.. Alsa never sees it
[11:20] <sethk> AnAnt, does top show swap available?
[11:20] <sethk> AnAnt, it probably will, if it shows in swaps, but try it
[11:20] <AnAnt_> sethk: ps aux shows this [kswapd0] 
[11:20] <sethk> AnAnt, by the way, proc is depricated for things that are not process specific.  use /sys
[11:20] <DaJudge> help! cant seem to browse a shared folder (on another computer) in gFTP.. anyone know how to do this?
[11:21] <sethk> AnAnt, that doesn't mean anything, it's always started at boot
[11:21] <foxiness> what is the best way to test a bzip2 file "4GB file" ?
[11:21] <AnAnt_> sethk: where in sys ?
[11:21] <nozorro> foxiness, DaJudge shared through which protocol?
[11:21] <AnAnt_> sethk: what doesn't mean anything ?
[11:21] <nozorro> sorry
[11:21] <sethk> AnAnt, /sys/class/mem, I think.  /proc still works, I mention it because theoretically the /proc version will eventually go away
[11:21] <Mikey> Hello, if I've setup eth0 to use a static ip, where do i set the nameserverS?
[11:21] <Mikey> s
[11:21] <sethk> AnAnt, that kswap0 is running
[11:22] <AnAnt_> oh
[11:22] <foxiness> nozorro, no problem
[11:22] <sethk> AnAnt, doesn't say anything about whether there is actually swap.  but there is, because you showed it
[11:22] <azcazandco> hi can anyone give me a hand with a partitioning issue?  I just downloaded the gparted Live CD to resize my main root patrition whilst it wasnt active, I then created an ext3 partition with the remaining 100gb but it will not mount at all
[11:22] <AnAnt_> sethk: oh, ok
[11:22] <DaJudge> through the places .. connect to server
[11:22] <nozorro> DaJudge, why do you even use gftp for this?
[11:22] <AnAnt_> sethk: so what's the problem then ?
[11:22] <ladydoor> azcazandco: you need to add it to your /etc/fstab/probably
[11:22] <ladydoor> */etc/fstab, probabl
[11:22] <ladydoor> y
[11:22] <azcazandco> how do i do that?
[11:22] <DaJudge> trying to access files on another comp for FTP
[11:23] <ladydoor> azcazandco: first, do sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak
[11:23] <sethk> AnAnt, I'm not sure.  the message looks bogus, though
[11:23] <ladydoor> azcazandco: then do sudo nano -w /etc/fstab
[11:23] <nozorro> DaJudge i mean you could simply use the file manager for the same thing i guess
[11:23] <sethk> AnAnt, you used sudo, I assume
[11:23] <ladydoor> azcazandco: and add a line for it similar to those for your other partitions
[11:23] <AnAnt_> sethk: yeah
[11:23] <DaJudge> ?
[11:23] <exs> To be, or not to be... Cast your votes! http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=248149
[11:23] <AnAnt_> sethk: sudo acpitool -S, it used to work
[11:23] <ladydoor> azcazandco: if you have any questions, feel free to ask
[11:23] <nozorro> DaJudge, yes, use the file manager for FTP
[11:23] <DaJudge> the files I need to upload are on another computer (by the way how do I "reply" call out your name?
[11:23] <sethk> AnAnt, I would run it with strace, see if I could find where it is failing.
[11:24] <ladydoor> azcazandco: and also you can make use of pastebin if you need to paste your /etc/fstab
[11:24] <ladydoor> !paste > azcazandco
[11:24] <ljlolel> DaJudge, \msg but with a slash
[11:24] <AnAnt_> sethk: but once I removed a partition (NOT the swap) and, the swap partition got renumbered
[11:24] <azcazandco> ladydoor: similar?
[11:24] <AnAnt_> sethk: and since then I cannot hibernate
[11:24] <sethk> AnAnt, it wouldn't do that if you use fdisk.  I'm not sure how that could happen
[11:24] <sethk> AnAnt, try running swapon -a
[11:24] <ladydoor> azcazandco: substituting the correct mount point and device name
[11:24] <azcazandco> will pastebin
[11:24] <AnAnt_> sethk: I did run swapon -a
[11:24] <sethk> AnAnt, make sure fdisk -l /dev/hda   shows that partition as a swap partition
[11:25] <DaJudge> no I mean include your name as a reply when im typing in here
[11:25] <nozorro> DaJudge, well i've never tried uploading, but it should work from the file m.
[11:25] <AnAnt_> sethk: no, I removed the partition using gparted
[11:25] <sethk> AnAnt, just trying to think of some suggestions to get more info
[11:25] <eyequeue> sethk, might he need to edit /etc/fstab?
[11:25] <sethk> AnAnt, do the sudo fdisk -l /dev/hda
[11:25] <Cojawfee> When I try to boot up Ubuntu, it loads everything, then it flashes the cursor. Instead of showing the desktop, it just hangs there
[11:25] <sethk> eyequeue, yes, I'm thinking the same thing
[11:25] <nozorro> Da Judge, you just type the name ...
[11:25] <sethk> eyequeue, the fdisk -l will tell us
[11:25] <AnAnt_> sethk: I did make sure that fdisk -l /dev/hda gives the correct swap number, and I made it consistent with /etc/fstab
[11:25] <harisund> Does the binary utils package come with an assembler? I am looking for something that is equivalent to the Turbo ASM (TASM) or something on Linux ...
[11:25] <analfabeta> hi!
[11:25] <DaJudge> I dont see how I am going to upload files to a SSH server using file manager.. (the files are on another computer - but shared)
[11:25] <sethk> AnAnt, too bad, because I'm running out of ideas
[11:26] <analfabeta> gtk+-2.2.0 have witchs name in ubuntu packages? i dont find it
[11:26] <nozorro> DaJudge, but i do it every day with the file manager, it supports sftp quit well
[11:26] <azcazandco> ladydoor: http://pastebin.ca/156590
[11:26] <AnAnt_> sethk: strace sudo acpitool -S ?
[11:26] <AnAnt_> or sudo strace ?
[11:26] <azcazandco> I believe it is sda3 I need to mount
[11:26] <DaJudge> nozorro - is file manager a standard ubuntu ap?
[11:26] <sethk> AnAnt_, sudo
[11:27] <eyequeue> binutils - The GNU assembler, linker and binary utilities
[11:27] <sethk> DaJudge, not sure what you mean by "standard".  there are several file manager apps you can install
[11:27] <harisund> eyequeue: what is the command to invoke the assembler?
[11:27] <nozorro> DaJudge, i'm talking about the std file manager nautilus -- not available in kubuntu of xubuntu though
[11:27] <analfabeta> gtk+-2.2.0 have witchs name in ubuntu packages? i dont find it
[11:27] <azcazandco> fishy: hi man
[11:27] <fishy> Can I get multiple applications to play sound? If I play a file in Firefox, and then another in amaroK, nothing will play in Firefox anymore.
[11:28] <harisund> eyequeue: are you familiar (or have you heard) of a package called 'debug' that comes with DOS? Allows you to disassemble .exe programs and so on... I am looking for a linux equivalent.
[11:28] <eyequeue> AS (1)               - (unknown subject)
[11:28] <eyequeue> as (1)               - the portable GNU assembler.
[11:28] <fishy> hey acnc
[11:28] <Cojawfee> Could the reason why I can't boot up be that my motherboard's chipset is an nForce 570?
[11:28] <DaJudge> ok.. how do you access nautilus (god it sucks being a noob at linux)
[11:28] <azcazandco> still acronyming my name then lol
[11:28] <eyequeue> harisund, sorry, no experience to know what you meant, but /usr/bin/as is the assembler
[11:28] <nozorro> DaJudge in regular ubuntu (not kubuntu) its the app which displays the files, folders on the desktop etc ...
[11:28] <ladydoor> azcazandco: ok, take a look here http://pastebin.ca/156599
[11:28] <sethk> harisund, gas, and there is usually a link so you can run it as as
[11:29] <TheGateKeeper> DaJudge: Windows to Ubuntu Transition Guide:http://www.pcmech.com/show/os/917/
[11:29] <harisund> thanks eyequeue, that should be able to get me started.
[11:29] <azcazandco> ladydoor: would this do it? /dev/sda3       /               ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
[11:29] <nozorro> DaJudge, and you can access an sft server like this:
[11:29] <BlueLaguna> hmm, I'm trying to build a deb source package with different compile options
[11:29] <harisund> sethk yeah, I noticed that :)
[11:29] <Mikey> How do I get eth0 to get an adress by dhcp?
[11:29] <ladydoor> azcazandco: take a look at what i posted
[11:29] <BlueLaguna> how do I do that once I've downloaded the source via apt-get?
[11:29] <ladydoor> azcazandco: do you really want that to be your new /???
[11:29] <nozorro> DaJudge open Places > Connect to Server
[11:29] <mrstocks> sethk dvgrab workes GReat ! but i can't read the video, probleme with the codecs .
[11:29] <ladydoor> azcazandco: what's wrong with your current /?
[11:29] <fishy> What sound system does Flash in Firefox use?
[11:29] <NossCire> Hey people! I've tried "splitting" files using tar, but I don't get how i'm supposed to do it... I know how to add files to a tar, and use the -m option,  but how do I set how many/how large the different tar's are supposed to be?
[11:29] <richard_> -hi
[11:30] <nozorro> DaJudge then select ssh for sftp, ftp for ftp, and enter the rest of the data
[11:30] <eyequeue> harisund, man as mentions "debug a few times, though i'm not sure if it's what you want
[11:30] <azcazandco> ladydoor: I have broken a couple of things so want to create a data partition so I can backup and re-install
[11:30] <ladydoor> azcazandco: do you have any questions?
[11:30] <jrib> fishy: is flash sound not working?  I think it ends up using oss or esd depending on the situation
[11:30] <richard_> question - is it worth going for the 64bit version of ubuntu
[11:30] <Lynxus> Evening guys
[11:30] <ladydoor> azcazandco: here's some advice...perhaps use that as your /home partition
[11:30] <liran_> is it even possible to get svideout working with fglrx? (ati based video cards)
[11:30] <nozorro> DaJudge, you should then have a corresponding icon on your desktop (or at least in the Network Servers location)
[11:30] <ladydoor> azcazandco: so your personal dada won't be lost
[11:30] <nicks68> Where can i set wich weekday the wheek stats on in gnome. The setting for evolution is not the same as the calender in gnome
[11:30] <ladydoor> azcazandco: that way, even if you reinstall everything else
[11:30] <azcazandco> will it copy my home data there?
[11:31] <ladydoor> azcazandco: no, but you can copy it there from /
[11:31] <DaJudge> doesnt work..
[11:31] <nozorro> DaJudge the rest should be point and click, provided you have set up auth correctly with ssh/sft
[11:31] <ladydoor> azcazandco: are you still in gparted?
[11:31] <azcazandco> also what do you think I should change in /dev/sda1       /               ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1to make it happen
[11:31] <fishy> jrib: Flash sound works until I play something in Rhythm box, amaroK, XMMS, etc. Then sound doesn't continue working, although animation does. Sound continues working in amaroK, XMMS, etc. I'm not sure how to fix this.
[11:31] <azcazandco> ladydoor: no I quit out
[11:31] <Lynxus> Installation ( VERTICLE GREEN LINES ) on screen issue... http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=248140
[11:31] <ladydoor> azcazandco: what's wrong with that?
[11:31] <jrib> !flash > fishy
[11:31] <azcazandco> the / bit?
[11:31] <richard_> I have a mobile athlon 64 laptop with PCIexpress - is it worth installing 64bit version Ubuntu?
[11:31] <ladydoor> azcazandco: what exactly is wrong with your / partition?
[11:31] <Lynxus> anyone out there that can help me with taht would be great!
[11:31] <nozorro> DaJudge if it doesn't work, surley there's a firewall or authentication problem
[11:31] <jrib> fishy: see ubotu's private message about setting up flash to use aoss
[11:32] <Mikey> I have to run "modprobe forcedeth" on boot, in order to make my eth0 work, how do I make it load automatically?
[11:32] <DaJudge> well I think I will just go rip some hair out.
[11:32] <fishy> jrib: If I can get Flash to use OSS, I can get XMMS to use ALSA, and it will all work dandy?
[11:32] <azcazandco> synaptic has gone wrong and I have lost keymapping, I worry I may have duffed up more with tinkering so would like to go back to a basic system and keep it that way till I am more experienced
[11:32] <nozorro> DaJudge if you still have enough left :-)
[11:32] <jrib> fishy: nah, you want flash to use alsa.  aoss will let you do that
[11:32] <ladydoor> azcazandco: ok. in that case, you probably are looking at a reinstall, right?
[11:32] <DaJudge> getting low .. I should stop
[11:32] <azcazandco> yep
[11:33] <nozorro> DaJudge, what kind of server are you trying to connect to, specifically
[11:33] <azcazandco> gonna ignore things like XGL etc
[11:33] <ksatishkumark> hi ladydoor do u use amarok>
[11:33] <ladydoor> azcazandco: ok, here's what to do:  start up the livecd, and let me know when you get to the partitioning step :-)
[11:33] <azcazandco> as I think that had a lot to do with busting it up
[11:33] <ladydoor> ksatishkumark: nope, i stay out of non-keyboard-driven programs if i can avoid it
[11:33] <ladydoor> azcazandco: does that sound alright?
[11:33] <azcazandco> I am using just a gparted cd so there is no net etc
[11:33] <ladydoor> azcazandco: (and i'll help you copy from /home, too)
[11:33] <DaJudge> ok.. some people setup a server that I need to connect to. It runs SSH and on port 990 which is forwarded to the server from thier firewall. Pain in the ass so far.
[11:33] <foxiness> eyequeue, nozorro now windows sever 2003 can share with ubuntu the wlan
[11:33] <ladydoor> azcazandco: no no, the ubuntu livecd
[11:33] <ladydoor> azcazandco: since you wanted to reinstall
[11:34] <fishy> jrib: Sound is working in flash currently. It only messes up when I play something else in a different app. Will those instructions make simultaneous sound possible?
[11:34] <azcazandco> right okay
[11:34] <azcazandco> back soon then
[11:34] <ladydoor> azcazandco: sweet. just fire up xchat then! :-)
[11:34] <azcazandco> ladydoor: thanks for helping
[11:34] <ladydoor> azcazandco: np
[11:34] <jrib> fishy: they should.  It works for me
[11:34] <Allz-i-> hello i just did a rapp lyric i need something -i mean i need a backsound
[11:34] <nozorro> DaJudge, 'to the server from their firewall' -- to which server, how do you mean?
[11:34] <Allz-i-> is there a program that can help me
[11:34] <Allz-i-> please
[11:34] <azcazandco> need to write down my wep key first
[11:34] <nozorro> DaJudge, this sure is a network problem
[11:34] <ladydoor> azcazandco: oh, ok
[11:35] <DaJudge> connecting to the server on port 990 routs over to the server where I need to place the files
[11:35] <ScislaC> how can I relocate the "home" directory to another partition? is it just a matter of copying it over and adding an entry in fstab, or is there a more formal way to do it?
[11:35] <AnAnt> ping sethk
[11:35] <ladydoor> ScislaC: does the other partition already exist?
[11:35] <azcazandco> ladydoor: I am assuming you are going to show me how to do a non destructive reinstall?
[11:35] <FRET> ScislaC, you'll find that in the ubuntu wiki
[11:35] <nozorro> DaJudge, so how do you need to authenticate over there?
[11:35] <ladydoor> azcazandco: what are you trying not to destruct?
[11:35] <Mikey> Is it even possible to get eth0 to use dhcp?
[11:35] <Allz-i-> hello i just did a rapp lyric i need something -i mean i need a backsound is there a program?
[11:35] <Allz-i-> that can help me S
[11:35] <ladydoor> Mikey: mine does automatically...so yes, somehow

[11:36] <azcazandco> ladydorr: my data ;)
[11:36] <ladydoor> azcazandco: aha, so your home dir then?
[11:37] <azcazandco> yeah
[11:37] <ladydoor> azcazandco: yep! it's easy
[11:37] <ladydoor> :-)
[11:37] <Mikey> eyequeue: eth0 isn't setup during boot, so it wont do it automatically, is there a command to get it to attain an ip?
[11:37] <TLE> To install the kernel header it's just "sudo apt-get install linux-source-2-15-6" right
[11:37] <nozorro> DaJudge, yeah, but is it your local passwd on the server, or public key authentication?
[11:37] <azcazandco> sweet
[11:37] <eyequeue> Mikey,  sudo dhclient eth0
[11:37] <azcazandco> I have a few other hurdles I need to overcome too but that is another story lol
[11:37] <DaJudge> server I guess
[11:37] <azcazandco> right, brb
[11:37] <wikijeff> what's the command to get the current directory??
[11:37] <Mikey> eyequeue: Awesome, thanks :)
[11:37] <nozorro> DaJudge, guess?
[11:38] <TLE> wikijeff: pwd
[11:38] <eyequeue> Mikey,  but add it to the file, auto or not, and use sudo ifup eth0
[11:38] <ladydoor> TLE: wikijeff pwd
[11:38] <ladydoor> TLE: sorry
[11:38] <ladydoor> wikijeff: pwd
[11:38] <eyequeue> Mikey, that's more "right" in ubuntu :)
[11:38] <wikijeff> thanks
[11:39] <SushiK> Hi guys
[11:39] <ksatishkumark> ladydoor so how do u play video files?
[11:39] <nozorro> DaJudge, if it's your pw on the server, then i guess it's a network problem because ssh is being used there on a non-standard por
[11:39] <zeckOr> i have big prob with my sound i cant 2 prog with sound play zb et+ts = et have no sound or ts+amarok = amarok no sound why?
[11:39] <DaJudge> hmm
[11:39] <nozorro> DaJudge, erm, non-standard *port*
[11:39] <ScislaC> ladydoor: yes the other partition already exists
[11:39] <ladydoor> ksatishkumark: i use xine. that's mostly keyboard driven, and for what's not, my window manager can warp the mouse around for me.
[11:39] <TLE> wikijeff: (p)resent(w)orking(d)irectory I think..... might make it easier to remember
[11:40] <wikijeff> TLE: gotcha
[11:40] <nozorro> DaJudge, seriously, your network administrator should be able to help you, as they say -- these thingsx tend to be complicated.
[11:40] <ladydoor> ScislaC: ok, so mount that partition in /media/otherpartition and do sudo chown yourusername:yourusername /media/otherpartition
[11:40] <jpatota> im using a harddrive and i want to verify its wellbeing
[11:40] <jpatota> whats the best way of doign that
[11:40] <DaJudge> IMO .. the network people should run things on standard ports.. argh
[11:40] <ladydoor> ScislaC: and then do cp -a /home /media/otherpartition
[11:41] <Bot_Builder> Hey, I'm going to be reinstalling ubuntu, anything other than home and etc stuff i should backup?
[11:41] <SushiK> Does anybody have some networking expertise to lend?
[11:41] <nozorro> DaJudge, yeah --- in any case i transfer files to my own ssh server using the file manager every day, and it works like a charm (used to be worse though)
[11:41] <DaJudge> appreciate your help.. Ill see what I can do.
[11:41] <ladydoor> Bot_Builder: not that i can think of. but this time, i would advise you to make a separate /home partition :-)
[11:41] <bob777> Hi, how can i have all the computers from a certain range of ip addresses please ... which means my local IP is 192.168.0.1, how can I have all the computers in 192.168.8 please?
[11:41] <lilbit> is it my imagination or does it seem that firefox is slower than Internet Exploder
[11:42] <Goshawk> is there any pbuilder hacker here?
[11:42] <ladydoor> lilbit: use swiftfox!
[11:42] <Bot_Builder> ladydoor - heh, I have :) I just don't want to inadvertently lose that
[11:42] <ladydoor> Bot_Builder: oh, yeah. sweet
[11:42] <nozorro> DaJudge, you could try on the command line, read up on the ssh and sftp commands (man ssh/sftp)
[11:42] <madewokherd> lilbit: it probably is
[11:42] <Bot_Builder> after all my first step wil be installing windows..
[11:42] <longwave> Bot_Builder: you might want to run "dpkg --get-selections" to get a list of the packages you currently have installed
[11:42] <lostinc> Does anyone know where you can find when the next version of Inkscape will be added to the repos?
[11:42] <nozorro> DaJudge and see what error mesgs you get
[11:42] <ScislaC> ladydoor: and then an entry in fstab and it's all good?
[11:42] <ladydoor> lilbit: and whether or not it's slower, at least it's secure and has nifty plugins :-)
[11:43] <bartek> hello
[11:43] <ladydoor> ScislaC: are you wanting to mount it as /home?
[11:43] <Bot_Builder> longwave - heh, well, the reason I'm reinstalling is because I screwed over my packages :)
[11:43] <gniss> I need help with an install?
[11:43] <longwave> Bot_Builder: also certain data files get stored in /var so you may want to look in there, it depends on the apps/services you are running
[11:43] <ladydoor> gniss: are you asking us if you need help?
[11:43] <Bot_Builder> ok, I'll look around in var
[11:43] <gniss> yes i am i need help
[11:43] <bartek> can someone give me a hint how to put Psi to the status bar?
[11:43] <DaJudge> obviously .. there is a lot I need to learn to work on linux based machine.
[11:43] <subero> hola
[11:43] <Mikey> Okay. I installd kernel 2.6.12 on dapper, and now boot's abit freaky, I think it's an udev problem
[11:43] <Mikey> How would I fix it?
[11:44] <ScislaC> ladydoor: yes... I full on just want the home dir moved to that partition so that's where it will read and write to from now on.
[11:44] <mesut> hello,trying to install XGL on macmini,but i got this after doing apt-get update: Failed to fetch http://xgl.compiz.info/dists/dapper/Release  Unable to find expected entry  main/binary-powerpc/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
[11:44] <ksatishkumark> ladydoor  my package manager says that i already have the xine-lib how do i use it now?
[11:44] <ladydoor> ScislaC: if so you can probably go ahead and delete everything inside of /home first, and then do the /etc/fstab. then you can go ahead and remount it to there
[11:44] <lilbit> ladydoor, true, I was just wondering if there was someway to speed it up
[11:44] <ladydoor> ksatishkumark: i'm sorry?
[11:44] <longwave> mesut: use #ubuntu-xgl for xgl questions
[11:44] <moquist> I'm helping my brother shop for a new PC on which he will run Ubuntu, and I haven't been able to find anything that conclusively states that NVIDIA's gigabit ethernet device has good linux support. Anybody know if that works in Dapper out-of-the-box?
[11:44] <ksatishkumark> i was trying to install xine and use it as u do
[11:44] <ladydoor> ksatishkumark: try installing xine-ui
[11:44] <nozorro> DaJudge Linux tends to be more tight as far as security is concerned -- with the effect that some things that are common to former Win users seem overcomplicated -- over time you'll appreciate the security though (i think)
[11:44] <mesut> longwave, whx
[11:44] <mesut> longwave, thnx
[11:44] <ksatishkumark> so i went to my synaptic package manager to get it
[11:45] <ladydoor> lilbit: there's also the fasterfox extension
[11:45] <Mikey> brb
[11:45] <gniss> I am unable to install on a brand new Compaq v6030us laptop with AMD 64X2 Turion processor
[11:45] <TLE> I'm compiling an app that says im missing sys/audioio.h, any idea of what that is ?
[11:45] <ksatishkumark> it says i have already installed libxine1c2
[11:45] <ladydoor> ScislaC: and it'll automount in the future
[11:45] <ladydoor> ScislaC: though you should probably first make sure everything's right in the new partition :-)
[11:45] <DaJudge> understood.. just seems to be a much larger learning curve to even perform basic tasks
[11:45] <gniss> install hangs in the middle
[11:46] <spuddogg> man, ubuntu rocks
[11:46] <stormchas3r333> Why is there 2 different "Official Ubuntu Books"?
[11:46] <ladydoor> lilbit: between swiftfox and fasterfox, it speeds up a lot
[11:46] <bartek> can someone give me a hint how to put Psi to the status bar?
[11:46] <digitalhav0c> anyone one know if theres another app for ubuntu to change wireless networks other than wifi-radar?
[11:47] <gniss> is this the right place to ask for help with an install?
[11:47] <digitalhav0c> yes
[11:47] <nozorro> DaJudge, yeah, maybe you won't like it then.  BTW they use a non-standard por for *theri* security, don't forget that
[11:47] <ladydoor> gniss: yes, but if nobody knows, nobody will answer
[11:47] <DaJudge> I know.. if they didnt.. it would have worked in a much easier and widely supported way.
[11:47] <foxiness> nozorro, after amount of time the windows 2003 can not ping "and cannot use ubuntu like a getway"?!
[11:47] <gniss> that's what I was afraid of...don't know what to do...maybe try some other distro I guess
[11:48] <foxiness> nozorro, less then 1 min
[11:48] <ladydoor> gniss: good luck!
[11:48] <nozorro> DaJudge, try ssh or sftp, e.g. 'ssh user@servername.net' to get the login
[11:48] <mikey> Hey again, I'll repeat my question: I just installed kernel 2.6.12, and now my boot is all screwed and no hard drives in /dev/
[11:48] <mikey> Is it a udev problem?
[11:48] <bob777> Hi, how can i have all the computers from a certain range of ip addresses please ... which means my local IP is 192.168.0.1, how can I have all the computers in 192.168.8 please?
[11:49] <ladydoor> bob777: why?
[11:49] <digitalhav0c> bob777, are you using a router
[11:49] <digitalhav0c> sorry dumb question set the range on the router
[11:49] <foxiness> after amount of time the windows 2003 can not ping "and cannot use ubuntu like a getway"?!
[11:50] <digitalhav0c> plus 192.168.8 is not a full question
[11:50] <digitalhav0c> not a full ip
[11:50] <digitalhav0c> addr
[11:50] <azcazandco> ladydoor: that is me in livecd
[11:50] <longwave> gniss: try booting the install cd with "noapic" at the end of the command line, that helps some laptops with crashing issues
[11:50] <A[D] minS> my friends from wan can't axx file with under /
[11:50] <Allz-i-> hello i just did a rapp lyric i need something -i mean i need a backsound is there a program?
[11:50] <A[D] minS> You don't have permission to access /fooo.pdf on this server.
[11:50] <A[D] minS> so what i have to do in /var/www/ ?
[11:51] <ladydoor> azcazandco: welcome back! ok, can you see your partitions on the desktop at all?
[11:51] <azcazandco> no
[11:51] <longwave> A[D] minS: what is the output of "ls -l /var/www/fooo.pdf" ?
[11:51] <ladydoor> azcazandco: kk, in that case fire up a terminal
[11:51] <nozorro> DaJudge, or even 'ssh username@servername:portnumber'
[11:51] <A[D] minS> -rwxr-x--x 1 root root 292374 2006-09-01 00:34
[11:51] <ladydoor> !paste > ladydoor
[11:52] <DaJudge> well after messing around for a while.. I was able to use the connect to server SSH dialog to connect..
[11:52] <azcazandco> got one open now
[11:52] <nozorro> DaJudge, fine
[11:52] <longwave> A[D] minS: apache runs as www-data so the file needs to be world-readable; "chmod o+r /var/www/fooo.pdf" should fix it
[11:52] <gniss> i tried the noapic doesn't help
[11:53] <mikey> _lupine: Are you still here?
[11:53] <Chrisms> HEy, i have a problem with getting ubuntu to boot... For some reason, the computer won't boot through the CD drive? any ways around it?
[11:53] <DaJudge> so by opening 2 file manger windows .. 1 the SSH server and 2. the shared folder.. I can drag and drop... not bad.. not perfect.. but not bad
[11:53] <dr_willis> Chrisms,  have you ever  booted a cd?
[11:53] <digitalhav0c> Chrisms, is it reading from the drive you might want to set the drive bootable in the bois
[11:53] <Chrisms> dr_willis: this is a machine i picked up from a company that was tossing it...
[11:53] <lostinc> whats the panel app that will show all available wireless networks?
[11:53] <dr_willis> DaJudge,  what more could ya want? :)
[11:54] <ladydoor> azcazandco: just a second, i'm pastebinning instructions :-)
[11:54] <dr_willis> Chrisms,  check its bios settings yet?
[11:54] <Chrisms> in the bios, i can set it to boot from CD rom first. but when i go into the device list (also under the boot otion) i dont see cd rom, just A:\ and C:\
[11:54] <azcazandco> ladydoor: no worries
[11:54] <nozorro> DaJudge, a limited number of gnome apps can even open and save files over ssh, provided you have the right permissions on the servers, see how far you can get
[11:54] <azcazandco> brb
[11:54] <dr_willis> hnmnm
[11:54] <DaJudge> how about a synchronize system that auto detects newer file an duploads them automatically? =)
[11:54] <ladydoor> azcazandco: kk
[11:54] <kyozabe> Hey, guys; I haven't used Ubuntu (dapper) in a while, and recently updated it. I no longer hear any sound while viewing videos on Youtube in Firefox.
[11:54] <digitalhav0c> lostinc, i was just asking that same question
[11:54] <dr_willis> DaJudge,  check out the FUSE, or  some of the rsync features :)
[11:54] <kyozabe> Could someone help me please?
[11:54] <Chrisms> it's controdicting itslef, saying it can boot from CD rom, then not showing it. i've switched Cd drives too, i used one i know works and no dice.
[11:54] <DaJudge> what is the FUSE?
[11:55] <lostinc> I didnt see that digitalhav0c
[11:55] <lostinc> :)
[11:55] <digitalhav0c> youre fine
[11:55] <dr_willis> Chrisms,  how did ya burn the iso file?
[11:55] <ksatishkumark> ladydoor u are a great help
[11:55] <digitalhav0c> i just hope someone answer you
[11:55] <digitalhav0c> :)
[11:55] <Chrisms> dr willis: it boots just perfectly in the computer i'm currently on:-D
[11:55] <dr_willis> !fuse
[11:55] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[11:55] <Chrisms> i used nero to burn it as an image
[11:55] <nozorro> DaJudge, you could that using rsync, but that is non-trivial and requires the server to run rsysnc as well (unlikely if you connect to your employer's server)
[11:55] <tehsu> how do i get the latest kernel with apt-get?
[11:55] <ladydoor> ksatishkumark: sometimes, haha
[11:55] <ladydoor> ksatishkumark: thank you
[11:55] <dr_willis> silly url. google for FUSE linux, and read about the nifty Filesystem/userspace tricks it can do
[11:55] <DaJudge> ahh.. I'm guessing they have nothing like that
[11:56] <nozorro> DaJudge, and sorry for the typos, non-native English speaker
[11:56] <longwave> Chrisms: you could try the cd boot floppy from http://www.bcdwb.de/bcdw/bcdl_e.htm
[11:56] <eyequeue> tehsu, sudo apt-get install linux-image-686, if that's the hardware you have
[11:56] <DaJudge> no problem.. I appreciate the help for sure
[11:56] <tehsu> eyequeue: centrino..
[11:56] <pos69sum> hi
[11:56] <azcazandco> ladydoor: am back
[11:56] <Jamminpotato> is there anyway i can force gaim to update to the 2.0 beta?
[11:56] <Chrisms> lognwave: thank you very much, i was hoping somethign liek that exsite.d let me try that out. brb
[11:57] <DaJudge> another quick question.. what do you type to insert someones name in the text im typing?
[11:57] <tehsu> eyequeue: finally.. thank you!
[11:57] <nozorro> DaJudge, if they use Unix/Linux at your server's site, over time you'll be able to work out a solution with them, but maybe not tomorrow
[11:57] <eyequeue> tehsu, yes, 686 is for you then, me too :)
[11:57] <fiendskull9> Jamminpotato: i beleive there is some unofficial Ubuntu package repos out there, or you can compile from source
[11:57] <dr_willis> Jamminpotato,  ya could install from source - or check out that 'klik' web site and isntall their packages on a per user basis..
[11:57] <pos69sum> i have to make a remote desktop connection to a windows 2003 server - what is the best rdp client for ubuntu
[11:57] <tehsu> eyequeue: any ideas about the intel pro card not working in kernel 2.6.15.7?
[11:57] <pos69sum> does one come bundled w gnome
[11:57] <mikey> How do I find out what udev to use for kernel 2.6.12 in dapper?
[11:57] <eyequeue> tehsu, 2.6.15.24 should be what you have already, or it will upgrade for you
[11:57] <xXErnieXx> any can help me? i seem not to be able to login as root
[11:57] <longwave> DaJudge: type the first few letters and hit tab
[11:58] <tehsu> eyequeue: well im trying to do the vcore on the fly patch
[11:58] <exs> Audacity is asking for the lame directory (encoding audio file to mp3).. I have installed Lame, but I do not know where it is, and when I try to search the 'file system' it does not find it
[11:58] <eyequeue> tehsu, none, sorry, but .24 might be the fix
[11:58] <dr_willis> !root
[11:58] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[11:58] <DaJudge> YES thats it ty longwave
[11:58] <Jamminpotato> dr_willis is there a good guide on hwo to isntall stuff from source? i've never done it
[11:58] <nozorro> DaJudge, as i said, here on irc you just *type* it
[11:58] <ladydoor> azcazandco: cool. now check out http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22190
[11:58] <tehsu> eyequeue: im hoping since it works fine on 26 right now
[11:58] <dr_willis> Jamminpotato,  google. or the programs homepage/docs
[11:58] <ladydoor> azcazandco: and let me know if you have any problems.
[11:58] <ladydoor> xXErnieXx: you need to use sudo
[11:58] <nozorro> Dajudge, or maybe some apps may automate this
[11:58] <Jamminpotato> dr_willis, i just realised i ahve a quick guide in my ubuntu hacks book sorry
[11:58] <ladydoor> xXErnieXx: you're not supposed to be on ubuntu
[11:58] <DaJudge> nozorro: the first few letters and then tab key is so much faster. thats what I was looking for
[11:58] <digitalhav0c> Jamminpotato, you could install from source or !Automix
[11:58] <Chrisms> longwave: pardon my ignorance.. but what the hell do i download?
[11:58] <eyequeue> Jamminpotato, apt-get -b source foo && sudo dpkg -i foo*.deb
[11:58] <ladydoor> xXErnieXx: but if you want, you can do sudo passwd root
[11:59] <digitalhav0c> Jamminpotato, you could install from source or !Automatix
[11:59] <tehsu> eyequeue: how can i get the kernel source of 2.6.15.26?
[11:59] <Jamminpotato> i thought automatix still had 1.5?
[11:59] <fiendskull9> Jamminpotato: youll first need to - sudo apt-get install build-essentials
[11:59] <exs> Nevermind, found it
[11:59] <ladydoor> xXErnieXx: but for most tasks, sudo and not su is the appropriate one
[11:59] <digitalhav0c> !automix
[11:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about automix - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:59] <digitalhav0c> !automatic
[11:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about automatic - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:59] <grimboy> How do I reset the dns cache (on a client machine)

[11:59] <ubotu> udev: rule-based device node and kernel event manager. In component main, is important. Version 079-0ubuntu34 (dapper), package size 233 kB, installed size 804 kB
[11:59] <longwave> Chrisms: http://www.bcdwb.de/bcdw/bcdl150z.zip - you will need something like rawrite to write the floppy image
[12:00] <DaJudge> nozorro: I guess. Sure is hard to explain things so people can help you when you dont know what your doing =)
[12:00] <ladydoor> azcazandco: *though you need to substitute things for, say, /dev/originalubuntupartition and yourusername
