[12:01] <rnalexander> Oh don't you two start.
[12:01] <travisty> hey everyone. I have a driver question
[12:01] <hangfire> malexander- try scite, its a good general purpose programming editor
[12:01] <rnalexander> noob here.
[12:01] <keleus> keep yer gnomes away from my underpants!
[12:01] <eyequeue> keleus, except you are in #ubuntu not #kubuntu ;-)
[12:01] <rnalexander> don't start giving me an argument on platforms already!
[12:01] <keleus> :) but my question was ubuntu based, if not better off in ##linux
[12:02] <travisty> My system wants to load ipw3945 for my wireless driver. How do I get it ti load ipw2200 instead?
[12:02] <rnalexander> weird.
[12:02] <Meglo> How do I use the mv command without deleting the source when I copy files
[12:02] <keleus> again... i find programs are binding themselves to ipv6 addresses and wrapping them in ipv4 (or something wierd like that - i can see the ipv4 address in the ipv6 string) - i have 2 computers on the LAN and the router is ipv4 only
[12:02] <rnalexander> it didn't ask me for a password when I sudo(ed) gedit.
[12:02] <keleus> how do i get rid of ipv6 without recompiling/downloading a new kernel?
[12:02] <lakcaj> anyone want to do me a quick favor?  #blender took my voice away because I was idle for some time.  Could somebody join #blender and ask them to give me voice back?
[12:03] <eyequeue> keleus, i can't address your actual question, but i can tell you that disabling ipv6 *in firefox* is addressed on the forums, if that helps
[12:03] <shahim> Hello everyone! I have a question about apt preferences
[12:03] <gekko`> Meglo: you use cp for that
[12:03] <Meglo> ah
[12:03] <keleus> eyequeue: probably not, but i appreciate it
[12:03] <eyequeue> rnalexander, sudo only asks every 15 min
[12:03] <shahim> the man page talkes about archives and other items to use for pinning but the release file in ubuntu doesn't have an archive line.
[12:03] <eyequeue> rnalexander, if you sudoed recently, that's not reason for alarm, heh
[12:04] <rnalexander> Ok, ladydoor, many more successes, still a few failures, pasting output and lists now.
[12:04] <ladydoor> rnalexander: cool
[12:05] <rnalexander> ladydoor ok, paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24719
[12:09] <dant-gone> is there away to reinstall ubuntu, but not loose all the apps that are already installed?
[12:09] <HTGN-css|Silent_> hey guys
[12:09] <ladydoor> rnalexander: ok, as i said before, please but gb. in front of the appropriate lines in your sources.list (as in your old one)
[12:09] <ladydoor> rnalexander: *put, not but
[12:09] <rnalexander> Will do!
[12:09] <tonyyarusso> dant-gone: There's a way to save a list of the installed packages, and redo them on a new install.  Would that work for you?
[12:10] <HTGN-css|Silent_> where would I find some good newbie info on runlevels and init.d? I'm trying to get a server to run on startup by root that's accessible to users via screen
[12:10] <HTGN-css|Silent_> is this possible?
[12:10] <Arrick> tonyyarusso, probably wants all the config files backed up too
[12:10] <dant-gone> tonyyarusso: im more concerned about save all the settings for cups/samba and wine
[12:10] <eyequeue> HTGN-css|Silent_, one, the info i'm about to give you wil be obsoleted in a few months
[12:10] <Arrick> dant-gone, copy all your config fils to disc for backup
[12:10] <rnalexander> damnit.  I sudoed into the editor and I can't find my users' desktop, one sec.  I'm a dork.
[12:11] <dant-gone> Arrick: true
[12:11] <tonyyarusso> dant-gone, Arrick: Backing up /etc should do most of that, right?  Anywhere else those things are put?
[12:11] <ladydoor> !language
[12:11] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[12:11] <eyequeue> HTGN-css|Silent_, two, ubuntu (and debian) don't really use runlevels, 2 3 4 and 5 re identical, and 2 is default
[12:11] <Arrick> dant-gone, then when you reinstall the apps, you just copy those files in and there you go, its done
[12:11] <dant-gone> all i really want to do is get my desktop to how it was when it was first installed...it had links to my mounted partitions, but now some are missing and i cant get them back
[12:11] <HTGN-css|Silent_> is this possible?
[12:12] <HTGN-css|Silent_> why is that obsolete?
[12:12] <Arrick> dant-gone, are your partitions mounted?
[12:12] <rnalexander> EEEP!  Very sorry,
[12:12] <Arrick> open terminal and type in mount
[12:12] <Arrick> dant-gone, ^^
[12:12] <eyequeue> HTGN-css|Silent_, edgy (dapper+1) uses upstart, not sysvinit, hence myfirst caution :)  but basically anyone referring to "runlevels" in here is usually talking from an rpm-based distro perspective
[12:12] <dant-gone> Arrick: they aer mounted...but they links dont show up on my desktop
[12:12] <ladydoor> rnalexander: sorry, i've got to go. good luck!
[12:12] <jose> con quien hablo
[12:12] <Arrick> then see if they are there, if not, you just need to remount and they should sho back up on the desktop
[12:12] <dant-gone> Arrick: i have 2 vfat partitions and 2 ntfs ones, the ntfs ones arent showing up
[12:13] <eyequeue> HTGN-css|Silent_, all that said, have i clarified or confused you? :)
[12:13] <Caplain> how do i set my resolution?
[12:13] <dant-gone> Arrick: im thinking soemthing changed in the fstab but i dont have the original fstab to compare it to
[12:13] <jose> no hay nadie que hable espaol
[12:13] <Arrick> dant-gone, possibly change your fstab so you can read them? its just a rights issue
[12:13] <rnalexander> Thanks LD!
[12:13] <jlkenyon2012> Hey, I was wondering if there is simple way of setting up dual monitor support in K/Ubunutu, or if hacking the xorg.conf is still the normal method for setting it up
[12:13] <Arrick> post if and someone in here can help you out in a hurry, dant-gone this is not a reinstall issue
[12:13] <gekko`> !es > jose
[12:14] <dant-gone> /dev/hdb5       /media/hdb5     ntfs    defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0       1
[12:14] <Arrick> post it to pastebin
[12:14] <Arrick> the whole thing
[12:14] <dant-gone> Arrick: i know its not a reinstall issue...just an easy way out issue
[12:14] <jose> hola gekko
[12:14] <breery> hi guys im having a slight problem with the sound. it doesnt come on even on start up
[12:14] <Arrick> hah
[12:14] <Caplain> jlkenyon2012: hack xorg.conf
[12:14] <Roger_The_Bum> yeah I'm having the same problem as breery
[12:14] <rnalexander> gack, more erros than before.
[12:14] <Arrick> DBO, what do you see wrong with dant-gone s fstab post?
[12:15] <Arrick> for him to view it?
[12:15] <rnalexander> Anyone else want to pick up where ladydoor left off?
[12:15] <jose> solo puedo escribir, no puedo hablar
[12:15] <ajax4> Hey guys...I can't install the xorg-dev package because of some dependency problems. The problem seems to be with the libfontconfig1 package, which apt says is broken. Can someone help me verify this?
[12:15] <dant-gone> wow..pastebin is a little slow today
[12:16] <Arrick> someone show mw a typical fstab section for being able to view a ntfs formated partition with all users?
[12:16] <Arrick> please
[12:16] <gekko`> Arrick: sure
[12:16] <DBO> /dev/sdb5	/media/windata	ntfs	ro,user,auto,fmask=0177,dmask=0077,uid=1000	0	3    <--- Arrick
[12:17] <dant-gone> Arrick: http://pastebin.ca/181421   <--- the whole fstab
[12:17] <Arrick> "ro,user,auto,fmask=0177,dmask=0077,uid=1000 0 1" dant-gone put this in there starting at "defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0       1"
[12:18] <Arrick> replace what is in yours with this first section
[12:18] <dant-gone> Arrick: isnt ro read only?
[12:18] <Max_-> ... happy problem here...   got a 17 inches screen (widescreen) and the only things gnome offers me are 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768...  what can I do?
[12:18] <Arrick> ntfs is read only in linux
[12:18] <Arrick> always
[12:18] <pennypacker> edit /etc/x11/xorg.conf
[12:18] <Samuli^> not my ntfs, but without special care, yes.
[12:18] <TheH> hey Max I have a similar problem with a 37 inch hdtv
[12:19] <hondje> TheH: Curious, what does ddcprobe say about an hdtv? I'm curious if it'd work
[12:19] <TheH> I want the image is to overscan, and I can use normal resolutions
[12:19] <pennypacker> then begin the quest for the correct modeline
[12:19] <TheH> what's  ddcprobe? I just got ti to work right now, it took 3 days of xorg editing
[12:20] <dant-gone> Arrick: k... did the umount/mount -a and only the vfat ones are still showing up
[12:20] <Max_-> brb later, if you have a solution please pm it to me!!!
[12:20] <hondje> TheH: Just asks the monitors for things like modelines and timing and sync ranges
[12:20] <ClayG> anyone here know of a good broadband-for-laptop solution?
[12:20] <lws> Does anybody know a good howto on hosing a wireless access point under Ubuntu?
[12:20] <squidgy>  /msg NickServ IDENTIFY microsoft
[12:20] <hondje> TheH: It's informational, it doesn't actually change anything. I'm curious if it'd work on an hdtv
[12:20] <ClayG> i want something like verizon's card but dont want to spend that much
[12:20] <ClayG> awsome squidgy
[12:20] <dad> how do i recover ubuntu after a windows install?
[12:21] <pennypacker> haha
[12:21] <pennypacker> sry
[12:21] <lws> I just bought a wireless card and want to have my linux box act as a WAP
[12:21] <TheH> do I need to type that on termina? I'm new to ubuntu, migrating from windows
[12:21] <squidgy> heh.
[12:21] <TheH> terminal
[12:21] <ClayG> lol
[12:21] <ClayG> oops
[12:21] <dant-gone> lol
[12:21] <Arrick> dant-gone, that should have fixed it for you, hang on
[12:21] <hondje> TheH: Yes, like 'sudo ddcprobe' ... I'd do it myself, but I lack an hdtv to test it with
[12:21] <dant-gone> Arrick: its monting, but the links just arent showing up
[12:21] <eyequeue> dad, probably reinstall grub
[12:22] <TheH> ok let me see
[12:22] <Arrick> ok, hang tight
[12:22] <boitono> I am looking for a simple utility like netmeeting only for linux
[12:22] <eyequeue> dad, sudo update-grub, if you can boot to ubuntu fom a rescue cd
[12:22] <boitono> any ideas?
[12:22] <dad> i made a grub boot floppy
[12:22] <hondje> ddcprobe is nice, it beats the hell out of googling your monitors hsync and the like
[12:22] <dad> but i don't know what to do with it
[12:23] <ciplogic> Hi all, I have an Ati X700 and I have following problems: poor performance using composite (is lower performance than a GF2 Mx 200 at Compiz), I setup a dual-view display, question, I can go the mouse only in first display, the second one has a different GNOME and I don't know how to move windows to it. In Windows I can drag-drop in different displays, any ideas?
[12:23] <breery> ny1 say nytin 2 u yet?
[12:23] <kmitch87> boitono: try ekiga softphone, it comes with ubuntu
[12:23] <lws> Can anyone hear me?
[12:23] <rnalexander> Does anyone else have any idea where I can go to get help / look for it?
[12:23] <rnalexander> Please?
[12:23] <JDStone> ciplogic: welcome to ATI cards under Linux
[12:23] <kmitch87> rnalexander: try ubuntuforums.org
[12:24] <dant-gone> JDStone: lol
[12:24] <JDStone> especially the newer ones
[12:24] <rnalexander> Ok, thanks kmitch!
[12:24] <lupine_85>  boitono: there's also gnome-meeting :p
[12:24] <erUSUL> lws: only a few wireless drivers support acting as AP. Search google for docs on hostap
[12:24] <breery> ny1 have ny idea on how 2 fix sound problems?
[12:24] <erUSUL> !sound
[12:24] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure alsa is selected by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (Alsa Mixer). If you are still having problems with sound, then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems
[12:24] <ciplogic> JDStone: there is nothing to change? I thought that the jump from 5200 to X700 is a great jump :)
[12:24] <lws> erUSUL: Are you kiding?
[12:25] <dantrag> ciplogic: ati has poor support under linux
[12:25] <pennypacker> nvidia works great
[12:25] <dantrag> ciplogic: the card may be better, but a 5200 is supported better with linux
[12:25] <MugginsM> nvidia doesn't always work great
[12:25] <pennypacker> for me
[12:25] <JDStone> ciplogic: I don't know.  dont' ask me
[12:25] <ClayG> anyone here have a hp dv2000 laptop?
[12:25] <ClayG> I'm thinking of getting one but want to see how it handles ubuntu
[12:25] <ciplogic> dantrag: It's ugly then, I'll use the 3D from Vista or Windows :(
[12:25] <HOT> not really a support question but i am interested, what is this so called "realtime" ubuntu release in the pipeline, would like to understand more
[12:25] <MugginsM> whereas the OSS nv driver does
[12:26] <Teller> Hi! Where do I change my locale system wide?
[12:26] <squidgy> Howdy.  I'm trying to mimic Windows' behavior in regard to using an external monitor (a projector) from my laptop.  I want to plug in an external monitor, hit a key, and have it mirror what's on my laptop's LCD screen.  Any hints?
[12:26] <TheH> how can I underscan a resolution for my tv? picture is to overscan..Using 6600gt on hdtv
[12:26] <ClayG> squidgy, change your password
[12:26] <Arrick> did dant-gone leave?
[12:26] <breery> thanks d speakers were muted in d ALSA menu, no idea how
[12:26] <erUSUL> lws: http://hostap.epitest.fi/
[12:26] <TheH> anyhelp?
[12:26] <dantrag> Arrick: no
[12:26] <Teller> I need ISO8859-1 instead of UTF-8
[12:26] <dantrag> Arrick: i wasnt gone anymore :P
[12:26] <Arrick> dantrag, ok, you changed your name on me
[12:26] <MugginsM> squidgy: realtime usually means that the software is guaranteed to respond to an event within a specified time
[12:26] <dantrag> Arrick: sorry
[12:27] <ciplogic> squidgy: Use a non-dual head settings
[12:27] <MugginsM> for example, if you're reading data in from some sort of device (video) current Linux might suddenly decide to go do something else and you'll get jumps and skips
[12:27] <kmitch87> ClayG: try tuxmobil.org for laptop info on linux
[12:27] <ClayG> anyone here up on the latest amd and intel cpus?
[12:27] <ciplogic> squidgy: at least to me until I've setup the dual-displays config, I have a mirror of the screen
[12:27] <Arrick> dantrag, there has to be a way to tell the drive to show up on desktop, but with me not using dapper its not an easy thing other that the fstab for me to help out with it
[12:27] <lws> erUSUL: How do i tell whether or not that supports something I bought?
[12:27] <ClayG> thanks kmitch87
[12:27] <dantrag> Arrick: what version are you running?
[12:28] <Arrick> I run breezy
[12:28] <erUSUL> lws: for acting as AP: http://hostap.epitest.fi/hostapd/
[12:28] <dantrag> Arrick: ah..ok
[12:28] <lws> erUSUL: How do I tell if my card is one of those?
[12:28] <buker> j/ #ubuntu-es
[12:28] <TheH> how can I underscan a resolution for my tv? picture is to overscan..Using 6600gt on hdtv, Thx
[12:28] <squidgy> ciplogic:  if I plug in an external monitor, then the only way I can get X to talk to it is by restarting X, in which case it ignores my laptop display.
[12:28] <Arrick> there has to be a way in the filemanager to set it up though
[12:28] <HOT> MugginsM: was me that asked, good answer, i presume its for mission critical things
[12:28] <MugginsM> oh right, scrolled too fast :)
[12:28] <MugginsM> hot: well it can give you things like smoother video, for example
[12:29] <Axidus> hello
[12:29] <dantrag> Arrick: thats something i cant find, where do i access the filemanager settings?
[12:29] <MugginsM> but yeah, if you're controlling a robot on a production line and someone steps out in front of the robot, you don't want your controller to be busy fetching email at the time and not notice
[12:29] <erUSUL> lws: lspci maybe. Card specs. the driver that can act as AP are madwifi (atheros) y prism54 2 2.5 3
[12:29] <squidgy> ciplogic:  my laptop's normal switch-to-external-display hotkey has no effect.
[12:29] <MugginsM> the linux kernel does have some good realtime extensions to do that stuff, but they need to be set up and the distro needs to know how to work with them
[12:30] <Axidus> Dude I don't know if you like to work from home or thought about it, but go here....check this out http://www.automaticbuilder.com/sanchezgroup
[12:30] <Axidus> this guy is cool...i'm doing it
[12:30] <Axidus> making good money too , extra and stuff
[12:30] <HOT> MugginsM: so it will be certified realtime, i have some small sun grid apps that could really make use of that...not sure how they can "prove" the delivery
[12:30] <n|ko> hi everyone
[12:30] <Axidus> I do that on the weekends...easy money
[12:30] <lws> erUSUL: 0000:01:08.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 010)
[12:30] <lws> erUSUL: like that one?
[12:31] <n|ko> i need more permission on my computer
[12:31] <MugginsM> hot: the realtime bit is quite small, so it's fairly well known, the biggest problem is really that standard PC hardware isn't realtime
[12:31] <eyequeue> Axidus, don't spam here please
[12:31] <ciplogic> squidgy: I am not an expert of that, but I remember that on my computer only making a dual-display xorg-conf makes to not have a mirror, but there is no way (at least on my computer) to switch between displays and I cannot help no futher in that
[12:31] <MugginsM> but you can guarantee response within some useful amounts of time for most things
[12:31] <Axidus> sorry just trying to help out
[12:31] <n|ko> when i install ubuntu it didn't ask me for root password
[12:31] <Axidus> is there an irc channel I can go to for work from home?
[12:31] <lupine_85> no root password by default
[12:32] <erUSUL> lws: yes you are a lucky person after all ;)
[12:32] <lupine_85> sudo uses your user password to make you root
[12:32] <HOT> *nods* i will look into it, the biggest issue i am having with my grid system is telling it what the time actually is
[12:32] <lupine_85> (gksudo for GUI apps)
[12:32] <lws> erUSUL: hooray.  I was worried.. I'm sure though it still won't work now :P haha
[12:32] <n|ko> i try it
[12:32] <HOT> MugginsM: sound simple but its the hardest question i have faced in a project for years
[12:32] <Arrick> ask everyone, dantrag as I said I am not familiar with dapper, so I relly cant help you out on the rest of it
[12:32] <eyequeue> HOT, ntpdate?
[12:32] <ClayG> I'm thinking of getting one but want to see how it handles ubuntu
[12:33] <HOT> eyequeue: not good enough i am afraid
[12:33] <MugginsM> hot: yeah, distributed stuff is hard :)
[12:33] <n|ko> dosen't work
[12:33] <lws> erUSUL: Now I have to figure out how to set it up though
[12:33] <eyequeue> HOT, oh well, the only idea i had
[12:33] <HOT> eyequeue: i am asking bristol university if i can borrow some atomic devices for ntp calibration
[12:33] <HOT> still, its a bugger
[12:33] <MugginsM> even things like ethernet aren't all that good for realtime stuff
[12:34] <erUSUL> lws: Good luck https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=madwifi&titlesearch=T%C3%ADtulos
[12:34] <no0tic> how can I make my sd card reader work under kubuntu? 0000:08:06.2 Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments 5-in-1 Multimedia Card Reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO/xD)
[12:34] <lupine_85> plug it in
[12:34] <lupine_85> erm, that's it
[12:35] <eyequeue> i can envision the day when even multi-core machines will be effected by the internal lag on the bus
[12:35] <lupine_85> cards usually show up as /dev/sd??
[12:35] <eyequeue> it used to be a 1 second granularity wasn't an issue, those days are gone
[12:36] <no0tic> lupine_85, it doesn't work...
[12:36] <HOT> eyequeue: the problem i face is nics have a slightly different "tick tock" rate in the tcp stack, so asking a machine what network time it is, comes across as meaningless
[12:36] <no0tic> lupine_85, I've tried inserting an SD card but /var/log/messages doesn't tell me anything
[12:36] <lupine_85> it won't
[12:36] <lupine_85> try mounting /dev/sda
[12:36] <TheH> how can I underscan a resolution for my tv? picture is to overscan..Using 6600gt on hdtv, Thx
[12:36] <MugginsM> ethernet and especially tcp are no good for precise timing anyway
[12:36] <lupine_85> if that doesn't work, try /dev/sda1
[12:37] <eyequeue> HOT, yeah, i can see that.  seeing how to get past it though, i'm not good enough for :/
[12:37] <HOT> like i said earlier the most difficult question i have been asked recently was "what time is it" :)
[12:37] <dantrag> Arrick: well..i found where to turn on/off the volumes on the desktop...but it doesnt let me select which i can view
[12:37] <no0tic> lupine_85, sorry, but every time I plug in an usb device it tells me something...
[12:37] <lupine_85> the usb device is already plugged in, though
[12:37] <no0tic> lupine_85, I'm going to try now
[12:37] <HOT> thats why this realtime stuff kind of interests me, i think i am barking up the wrong tree though
[12:37] <lupine_85> all you're doing is the equiv. of putting a floppy in
[12:37] <eyequeue> HOT, i can also see the challenges there must be a lot of fun, if you're the type :)  even though frustrating
[12:38] <no0tic> lupine_85, let's try
[12:39] <no0tic> lupine_85, sda doesn't work
[12:39] <HOT> oh yea its a very fun question, i am not frustrated by it at all, really good learning curve, and i can say with no doubt almost all nix variants do time better than any nt kernel i have seen
[12:39] <HOT> very impressive stuff really
[12:39] <TheH> Anyone can help me with HDTV issue?? I have been everywhere on this, no luck
[12:39] <no0tic> lupine_85, ehm... sda is my first hd, :)
[12:39] <no0tic> lupine_85, i'll try sdb
[12:39] <lupine_85> so try sdb :p
[12:39] <MugginsM> hot: are timer cards expensive?
[12:39] <lupine_85> ls /dev/sd* will get you a full list
[12:40] <no0tic> lupine_85, only sda :(
[12:40] <no0tic> lupine_85, my sathda

[12:40] <no0tic> lupine_85, my sata hd
[12:40] <eyequeue> HOT, i'll presume bristol means .uk, is there perhaps anything useful out of nasa.gov on time issues?
[12:40] <imperfect-> Anyone know how I can get a 2.6.18 kernel on dapper?
[12:40] <TheH> Can anyone help me with HDTV issue?? I have been everywhere on this, no luck
[12:40] <imperfect-> are there packages yet?
[12:40] <HOT> not really but getting them running can be, my grid uses redhat enterprise, its not really that usefull when it comes to kernel module changes
[12:40] <lupine_85> bah, dunno then. "It works here"
[12:40] <eyequeue> imperfect-, no, nor will there be.  fixes tend to be backported
[12:41] <lupine_85> imperfect-: this is dapper :p. build your own if desperate
[12:41] <eyequeue> imperfect-, even edgy will only release with .17
[12:41] <imperfect-> Yeah.
[12:41] <imperfect-> Well I need it.
[12:41] <dad> I put in made a boot cd that boots into grub, then went to http://sorgonet.com/linux/grubrestore, I did everything it said, but now i can't boot into anything but bash, can someone help?
[12:41] <imperfect-> Unfortunately.
[12:41] <no0tic> lupine_85, the same device?
[12:41] <lupine_85> lots of different devices
[12:41] <lupine_85> even one in my printer
[12:41] <TheH> Can anyone help me with HDTV issue?? I have been everywhere on this, no luck, Please?
[12:41] <HOT> eyequeue: bristol have some atomic calibration devices they can use to get down to pico alignment, from what i understand it measures its own time reference using atomic decay, very accurate stuff
[12:42] <no0tic> lupine_85, ok, I'm not lucky
[12:42] <alpha-wolf> good evening
[12:42] <cello_rasp> how do get the php binary??
[12:42] <MugginsM> hot: get too accurate and you find your larger servers run slower due to gravity :)
[12:42] <avenger__> I'll find out
[12:42] <Raz`> Anyone help me? I'm not sure how to get my Audigy 2 to work under Linux
[12:42] <HOT> MugginsM: heh :)
[12:42] <eyequeue> HOT, cool.  i was just wondering of the cluster folk at nasa might have written some tips based on their travails, heh
[12:42] <Raz`> No drivers on creative's site :(
[12:42] <Who_> cello rasp: search for php in 'Synaptic Package Manager' and choose to install it
[12:42] <lws> erUSUL: do you have an atheros card?
[12:42] <imperfect-> Is there a patch for 2.6.15 that helps with the P965 chipset issues w/ the JMicron controller?
[12:42] <cello_rasp> Raz` my audigy 2 works ok on dapper
[12:43] <Raz`> Well I'm getting system sounds cello
[12:43] <Pierre> Raz`, audigy 2 works out of the box with a decent kernel, it works here with Dapper
[12:43] <Raz`> but JuK isn't playing audio
[12:43] <cello_rasp> Raz` drivers in kernel
[12:43] <alpha-wolf> can someone give me a little advice? I have installed apache2 and would like the home folder to be /home/alpha/server/htdocs but cannot figure out where to put this??
[12:43] <HOT> eyequeue: i will look into that actually, currently i am speaking to the guy that looks after stratum devices at BrI, he seems to know his stuff but he agrees its voodoo, not so much defining a point in time over the lan but stopping drift
[12:44] <cello_rasp> if you are getting sounds it is another software issue, and the drivers obviously work fine
[12:44] <Raz`> Anyone recommend a good mp3 player to me, then?
[12:44] <cello_rasp> Raz`xmms
[12:44] <Raz`> May just be that prograam
[12:44] <Raz`> k
[12:44] <m0> hehe

[12:44] <HOT> eyequeue: the current solution floated as i understand it, is a kind of token ring using fibre, but its dedicated to time "pulses" and nothing else
[12:44] <m0> Everone is saying how did I do that :)
[12:45] <eyequeue> m0, it is ubuntu?
[12:45] <TheH> does some one here has configure a HD TV on ubuntu?

[12:46] <cello_rasp> TheH i think you are the only one
[12:46] <m0> eyequeue: yes
[12:46] <imperfect-> is compiling a vanilla kernel a bad idea on dapper?
[12:46] <TheH> HD LCD
[12:46] <eyequeue> m0, cool, a great opportunity to give out cds :)
[12:46] <TheH> that suck, I can't get any help, no where
[12:47] <m0> eyequeue: I am the computer club president on my University
[12:47] <cello_rasp> cant expect community support when hardly anyone has an HDTV let alone linux users :|
[12:47] <m0> eyequeue: I would do that... But we don't have money to buy cds'

[12:47] <imperfect-> shrug
[12:47] <m0> eyequeue: freebsd wanted us to help them
[12:47] <m0> eyequeue: but I really didn't wnat to help hehe
[12:48] <eyequeue> m0, i was joking about if the person was cute, a way to get to know him/her, heh

[12:49] <fernando> Please ask your system administrator to run "vmware-config.pl"
[12:49] <fernando> and enter the serial number. For more information, please read
[12:49] <fernando> the INSTALL file in VMware Server's documentation directory.

[12:49] <fernando> but i put the serial # that i downloaded but it still does not work
[12:49] <cello_rasp> hey grandma im a linux advocate
[12:49] <HOT> fernando: you need to get a serial number from the vmware site, register email and password (and a few more things) and it will give you a new one on request
[12:49] <TheH> Imperfect: did you had overscan issues?
[12:49] <eyequeue> m0, start here, and yes, it is all free :)  https://shipit.ubuntu.com/
[12:50] <cello_rasp> night
[12:50] <HOT> fernando: the old serials expire over 45 days i beleive

[12:50] <HOT> fernando: if you grab the latest build, vmware is free totally now
[12:51] <eyequeue> m0, yes, do tell them you are the head of the computer club, so they will see your request for a larger number of cds as reasonable
[12:51] <HOT> fernando: let me be exact, vmware server is free, but you DO need to get the latest version and a new serial
[12:51] <m0> eyequeue: alright nice...

[01:10] <raf256_> flashnet: well still
[01:10] <HTGN-css|Silent_> thanks
[01:10] <se_bsas> Hi!, I'm Sebastian from Argentina
[01:10] <ArrenLex> HTGN: can you boot ubuntu at all?
[01:10] <Pretor1ab> hello i have been struggling for hours trying to get ndiswrapper to work -- can anyone help please
[01:10] <raf256_> flashnet: I hope they will replace the 6.01 for me.
[01:10] <se_bsas> Anybody knows how to install a Nvidia driver?
[01:10] <ArrenLex> !nvidia
[01:10] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:10] <se_bsas> I tried installing the nvidia packages
[01:10] <HOT> Pretor1ab: i can try, whats the current status?
[01:10] <Telroth_Plushie|> se_bsas, sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[01:10] <fatbrain> see_bsas: I downloaded them from nvidia website
[01:10] <se_bsas> but doesnt work
[01:10] <se_bsas> really, doesnt work, my question is...
[01:10] <xgm> hello, what should i install to watch avi movies ?
[01:10] <fatbrain> se_bsas: before I downloaded them I removed all "restricted modules" crap
[01:11] <HTGN-css|Silent_> Arren, I can boot it now, but I know grub is gonna get pwned when I install winbloze xp
[01:11] <se_bsas> I want to try with an external nvidida drivers
[01:11] <fatbrain> se_bsas: worked for me, didn't get the pre-compiled to work from restricted
[01:11] <Xenguy> xgm: vlc works
[01:11] <HTGN-css|Silent_> It's sad, but I'm not wasting a 120 dollar sound card
[01:11] <se_bsas> but Ineed run level 3
[01:11] <xgm> !vlc
[01:11] <ubotu> Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Banshee, Beep Media Player, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine  -  See also !codecs
[01:11] <ArrenLex> HTGN: look into rescue CDs to let you reinstall grub.
[01:11] <HTGN-css|Silent_> ya, some one sent me some info
[01:11] <Pretor1ab> i followed the installation procedure and have installed the windows driver but cannot start the device
[01:11] <se_bsas> but i write 'init 3', but nothing happends
[01:11] <se_bsas> happens
[01:11] <Pretor1ab> i am using a bcmwl5.sys driver on a hp pavilion laptop
[01:12] <Max_-> Flannel, thanks, everything works now... I just had to look in the add/remove application and search for mp3 codec
[01:12] <Sprafa> would anyone mind pointing to an installation tut
[01:12] <m0> I have a quesiton: I am wondering when I click on an external link in some application. It says Copy Link, or Open Link in Browser.
[01:12] <HOT> my god Pretor1ab you a  lucky chappie , thats exactly what i have
[01:12] <m0> When I click on open link in brower,nothing happens
[01:12] <Pretor1ab> can you help HOT
[01:12] <m0> How can I debug that ?
[01:12] <Bacaruda> yeah I can get Guild Wars to run and pretty good just the cursor doesnt show up
[01:12] <fatbrain> ArrenLex: thanks, got it sorted out now
[01:12] <HOT> Pretor1ab: did you modprobe for the device?
[01:12] <Flannel> HTGN-css|Silent_: read the link ubotu sent you, it tells you how to fix grub
[01:12] <ArrenLex> fatbrain: glad I could help.
[01:12] <fatbrain> ArrenLex: likewise.
[01:13] <Who_> !tell Sprafa about installation
[01:13] <Pretor1ab> modprobe -l is it ?
[01:13] <se_bsas> yes yes, I list the modules in kernel And this appear
[01:13] <se_bsas> yeah!
[01:13] <xgm> !avi
[01:13] <Sprafa> yay

[01:13] <ubotu> For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto
[01:13] <se_bsas> the error is when i start ubuntu, a message appear sayinh 'cannot start HAL'
[01:13] <Raz`> !resolution
[01:13] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type this in a console: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  -  To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[01:14] <se_bsas> you say resolution is the problem?
[01:14] <Who_> Sparfa: wubbles?!
[01:15] <Sprafa> wubbles = <3
[01:15] <Sprafa> if you had my name right Who_ you would've highlighted me! :P
[01:15] <HOT> Pretor1ab: sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[01:15] <Sprafa> anyways that thing isn't very helpful
[01:15] <HOT> Pretor1ab: what does that give you?
[01:15] <se_bsas> 'cannot start HAL' when ubuntu starts
[01:16] <Who_> Sprafa: then I'll do some actual work :)hold on
[01:16] <Sprafa> nah it's just
[01:16] <Pretor1ab> nothing
[01:16] <HOT> sudo ndiswrapper -m
[01:16] <HOT> try that
[01:16] <Sprafa> i'm an uber noob, and that tut says absolutely nothing on what i want to know
[01:16] <Sprafa> which is, the screen right after i partition my hdds
[01:16] <Pretor1ab> already contains alias directive
[01:16] <Sprafa> is damn confusing
[01:17] <se_bsas> ok, I'm going to try that
[01:17] <Who_> Sprafa: tell me about it, I'll see if I can help
[01:17] <se_bsas> thanks!!!
[01:17] <Sprafa> PM?
[01:18] <Who_> Sprafa: I am not registered, I think :S
[01:18] <rixth> How can I capture a screenshot of X via the commandline?
[01:18] <Sprafa> well, pretty much all i need is a screen that tells me wtf is /srv
[01:18] <Xenguy> rixth: scrot
[01:18] <Sprafa> and all that other stuff D:
[01:18] <rixth> Woo.
[01:18] <Pretor1ab> HOT that returns nothing
[01:18] <Sprafa> i partition, and it shows the whole "choose partitions to install"
[01:18] <HOT> Pretor1ab: i remember now, i didnt use ndiswapper at all, i used an alternative method, let me see if i can find it, can i have the exact network card name
[01:19] <Tm218> Anyone know how to fix this to get it back to ipv4? http://upit.be/uploads/images/ubuntu13097.png
[01:19] <Tm218> for some reason it thinks it is ipv6
[01:19] <Sprafa> hda2, hda3, hda4
[01:19] <Who_> Sprafa: this is the screen where you have to select what names to give which partitions (I.E where to mount each partition)?
[01:19] <Sprafa> yes!
[01:19] <Sprafa> lol
[01:19] <Sprafa> i'm such a newb D:
[01:19] <Pretor1ab> can you tell me the command you need me to run so that i can give you the right information
[01:19] <Sprafa> but i mean, it says media/hda3 media/hda4
[01:19] <Sprafa> it's not very helpful!
[01:19] <HOT> Pretor1ab: just look on the card fella, should have name on the back
[01:20] <Sprafa> the help button, it does nothing D:
[01:20] <Pretor1ab> its in the machine
[01:20] <HOT> Pretor1ab: it is a PCMCIA card ?
[01:20] <HOT> ah
[01:20] <Pretor1ab> broadcom
[01:20] <Who_> Sprafa: okay - you know you have two IDE channels on your mother baord?
[01:20] <Sprafa> i know the designations that linux gives it
[01:20] <Sprafa> hda for hdd 1
[01:20] <duckman75> i am having trouble with my sataraid volume, it will not mount  (error says device /dev/sda1 is not removeable could not execute pmount)  can anyone help?
[01:20] <Sprafa> hdb for hdd 2
[01:20] <h00t> hello can anyone help me .. i had a good ubuntu (latest) installed ... i but i installed XP which (of course) overwrote mbr ... how can i fix this
[01:20] <Tm218> Anyone know how to fix this to get it back to ipv4? http://upit.be/uploads/images/ubuntu13097.png
[01:20] <Tm218> for some reason it thinks it is ipv6
[01:21] <Who_> Sprafa: cool - Ubuntu mounts your disks on to the filessystem so you access /dev/hda1 ad /media/hda1 as if it is in a folder
[01:21] <Sprafa> i'm almost at the level of building my own computer, but linux makes me feel powerless
[01:21] <Who_> Sprafa: give it a week, Linux will make you feel powerFUL
[01:21] <HOT> Pretor1ab:  lspci | grep Broadcom\ Corporation
[01:21] <HOT> run that
[01:21] <Sprafa> but wait, what IS media/hda1 ?
[01:21] <Sprafa> isn't that placeholder ?
[01:21] <Who_> Sprafa: I installed Linux just after building my first PC :)
[01:22] <lupine_85> it's a mountpoint :)
[01:22] <butleR`> does anyone know why my terminal doesn't respond to my keyboard when it asks me for my keyboard?
[01:22] <Sprafa> shouldn't i replace media/hda1 for "/" and "/boot" ?
[01:22] <butleR`> password*
[01:22] <KromiX> question guys I am installing ubuntu for the first time on my second box and it keeps kind of freezing up in a screen with two white bars on the top and bottom (brown background), the mouse is moveable but nothing seems to happen, I am guess this means there is a conflict with hardware ? maybe something is not supported by UBuntu?
[01:22] <Who_> Sprafa: it is a folder on your disk - unilike in Windows where each disk has it's own drive letter all disks come off /
[01:22] <compotatoj> butleR`: does the terminal work otherwise?
[01:22] <butleR`> yes
[01:22] <Who_> Sprafa: seems like you're not _such_ a newbie :)  If you want it that way, then yes
[01:22] <Sprafa> no no wait
[01:22] <Sprafa> tell me
[01:22] <butleR`> but when it asks me for my admin password, only thing it responds to is enter
[01:22] <compotatoj> butleR`: it just doesn't show the characters for security reasons
[01:23] <Sprafa> what IS media/hda1 ?
[01:23] <cartufer> butler, its prolly hiding ur password
[01:23] <Pretor1ab> 0000:02:03.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
[01:23] <Who_> Sprafa: It is unlikely you will need a separate boot partition
[01:23] <Sprafa> and media/hda2 etc
[01:23] <compotatoj> butleR`: try typing in your password and it will work, you just don't see the characters
[01:23] <butleR`> awesome
[01:23] <Sprafa> they're not placeholders ?
[01:23] <butleR`> thanks
[01:23] <butleR`> it worked
[01:23] <butleR`> <- newb to linux
[01:23] <compotatoj> butleR`: you can even hit delete a bunch of times and it will delete it
[01:23] <raf256_> hurrey
[01:23] <HOT> Pretor1ab: i would like to suggest this method then : http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185174&highlight=broadcom , it worked for me when ndiswrapper didnt
[01:23] <compotatoj> butleR`: That is ok, we are all noobs at one point
[01:23] <KromiX> hrm this sucks im excited to install ubuntu for the first time but its not working lol
[01:23] <raf256_> the messed up 6.06 ubuntu did installed
[01:23] <raf256_> despite the bug in installer program
[01:23] <deep__> Sprafa: Its mountpoints :)
[01:23] <raf256_> in 3th appraoch
[01:23] <Sprafa> what's a mount point D:
[01:24] <Who_> Sprafa: they are the 'mount points' of the partitions hda1 and hda2 - when your system is installed and up and running then you can access evrything on thos partitions by navigating to their 'mount points' - I.E their folders
[01:24] <Pretor1ab> thanks HOT i will give it a go
[01:24] <Tm218> http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/8909/ubuntuuo1.jpg <-- is there any reason why that interfaces file wouldnt work? I am trying to connect via DHCP to my router
[01:24] <lupine_85> Sprafa: most important thing you'll ever learn about linux - everything is a file
[01:24] <Sprafa> ooh
[01:24] <KromiX> im trying to install 6.0.6 for the first time and it seems to keep freezing on a screen with two white bars on the top and bottom and brown background, mouse is moving but nothing else?
[01:24] <HOT> Pretor1ab: np, like i say it worked straight away for me, and it supports all broadcom cards
[01:24] <Sprafa> so wait
[01:24] <deep__> Sprafa: Well, its like this. In /dev, theres is alot, ALOT of "drives", and hda1 is harddrive a (1st), 1st partition.
[01:24] <Sprafa> media/hda1 etc
[01:24] <Who_> Sprafa: instead of having drive letters, Linux sticks all the disks 'inside' folders that come off the main 'root' filesystem that we call '/'
[01:24] <dad> is there someway that i can use the dapper cd to restore grub?
[01:24] -CarMurder:#ubuntu- lol g, join irc.bantown.com #bantown and get hugs visit http://lilo.on.nimp.org/?u=bantown for more info. #ubuntu SUCKS
[01:24] <Sprafa> those are like acess points for linux ?
[01:24] <deep__> Sprafa: and mountpoint, is where you have it mounted.
[01:25] <Sprafa> i know that Decadent
[01:25] <Who_> Sprafa: a bit - like 'mapping a network drive' in Windows
[01:25] <deep__> Sprafa: like in windows, all "mountpoints" is in "My Computer"
[01:25] <Cymage> with the broadcom, if u want to use ndiswrapper, u have to blacklist the bcm43xx driver
[01:25] <deep__> Sprafa: :)
[01:25] <Sprafa> aah
[01:25] <Sprafa> AAH
[01:25] <Sprafa> ooh
[01:25] <Sprafa> so let's see if i got this straight
[01:25] <deep__> =D
[01:25] <HOT> Cymage: yea, its a bugger to be honest, that other way is much smoother IMHO
[01:25] <Sprafa> what i should do in that screen
[01:25] <Who_> Sprafa: you MUST have a '/' , but all others are technically optional
[01:25] <Sprafa> is just let linux create a mount point for every partition
[01:26] <deep__> Sprafa: Yes. :) Wont effect the harddrive
[01:26] <Cymage> it is if it works. mines a 4318 and native wont work, so ndiswrapper is only answer
[01:26] <Sprafa> one of those mount points will be "/" for root, another one for "swap"
[01:26] <dad> is there someway that i can use the dapper cd to restore grub?
[01:26] <Who_> I personally ahve a separate '/' and '/hom' and then let the installer make its own mount points for all my other disks, like /media/hda5
[01:26] <Tm218> http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/8909/ubuntuuo1.jpg <-- is there any reason why that interfaces file wouldnt work? I am trying to connect via DHCP to my router
[01:26] <Sprafa> oohkay
[01:26] <Who_> Sprafa:ohh yea - forgot about swap :S you need that too, but you know that!
[01:26] <deep__> Sprafa: Yeah. "/" will be like "C:" in windows, where ubuntu is installed
[01:27] <Sprafa> so let's say i don't build a mount point for my NTFS
[01:27] <Sprafa> linux won't acess it
[01:27] <Who_> Sprafa: I made a typo, I have '/' and '/home'
[01:27] <deep__> Sprafa: and swap is just a secondary "ram"-memory, on the hdd
[01:27] <Sprafa> yeah i know
[01:27] <Sprafa> virtual memory
[01:27] <deep__> Sprafa: unless you mount is yourself
[01:27] <deep__> Sprafa: quite easy to do. "mount /dev/hda1 /mnt" or "mount /dev/hda2 /media/whereever"
[01:27] <Who_> Sprafa: basically, unless it has a mountpiint it is difficult to access a disk
[01:28] <Sprafa> oh, i think i get it
[01:28] <deep__> =)
[01:28] <Sprafa> mount points are linux acess whatever whatever
[01:28] <Sprafa> they're TUBES!
[01:28] <Who_> Sprafa: when I say difficult, I mean as hard as what deep_ just showed you :P
[01:28] <Sprafa> but they're inside my computer :D
[01:28] <deep__> Haha :D
[01:28] <Sprafa> linux tubes
[01:28] <Neff> hello i'm new. can ubuntu be run from a sandisk card and what's the minimum size
[01:28] <Sprafa> so they won't get clogged
[01:28] <deep__> Sprafa: /dev is the place for unmounted "stuff", you can mount whatever you want (almoast :)) wherever you want :)
[01:29] <Who_> Neff: it technically _could_ but I think there are other flavours of Linux that may be easier to do it with
[01:29] <Sprafa> yay
[01:29] <eyequeue> Neff, usb?  1 gb i guess, since you need the cd image on it
[01:29] <deep__> Sprafa: like mounting your cd-drive as root, but thats a bad idea :)
[01:29] <Cymage> fstab is ur friend, lol
[01:29] <Sprafa> all my stuff is /dev right now
[01:29] <Sprafa> that means everything is unmounted
[01:29] <Sprafa> therefore unnacessible by linux
[01:29] <deep__> Sprafa: Yep. :)
[01:29] <eyequeue> Neff, and no, it's not simple, heh
[01:29] <Neff> so ubuntu runs from CD?
[01:29] <HOT> Neff: you might be better off with something like puppylinux, is more suited to that enviroment
[01:29] <cartufer> or u could just save the changes to a sandisk
[01:29] <deep__> Sprafa: Well,
[01:29] <Who_> Sprafa: yep, but it doesn't go OUT of /dev when you mount it
[01:29] <Sprafa> great
[01:29] <Who_> Sprafa: so things in there could be mounted too
[01:29] <Flannel> Neff: it can, but as HOT said, there are probably better choices if youre running only from LiveCD
[01:30] <deep__> Sprafa: I guess the videocard is there too.. i guess its mounted. I dunno, quite new. :P
[01:30] <Sprafa> okay, confusion D:
[01:30] <eyequeue> Neff, not typically, but there is a "live cd" or "live dvd"  yes
[01:30] <Neff> ok
[01:30] <Sprafa> let me keep my analogy of tubes
[01:30] <Neff> thanks
[01:30] <deep__> Sprafa: Look at is this way:
[01:30] <Who_> Sprafa: on linux _all_ devices live in /dev, not just files - for example your audio device might  be /dev/dsp - programas wantingh to make noise can write to that file
[01:31] <deep__> Sprafa: /dev/<thing> is a "shortcut" to a disc or drive or usb-memory or mp3-player. BUt you cant use it.
[01:31] <lupine_85> you can use it :)
[01:31] <lupine_85> it's just hard
[01:31] <Who_> Sprafa: though that is JUST a demonstration because in modern day systems sound is ccontrolled by an abstraction layer, because only one thing can write to /dev/dsp at once otherwise
[01:31] <deep__> Sprafa: Then you mount it, and that sees that "Oh, hdd1, thats is that harddrive and its there. Ill go there"
[01:31] <Sprafa> so basically i'll config it as such : one "/" for the 30gb EXT3 partition, one "swap" for the 3gb EXT3 partition, and the rest will all be media/hda1 media/hda2 for my FAT32 and NTFS partitions
[01:31] <lupine_85> when you "mount" it, you're letting the kernel do the hard work - it filters it through a driver for you
[01:31] <Who_> Sprafa: Sounds perfect
[01:32] <Sprafa> excellent :D
[01:32] <Sprafa> oh yeah
[01:32] <Who_> Sprafa: you may want to consider having a separate /hom
[01:32] <Sprafa> why ?
[01:32] <deep__> Sprafa: SWAP should not be ext3, but linux-swap, and does not have to be 3 gb :)
[01:32] <Who_> Sprafa: homE that is, because it allows you to re-install the OS but keep your personal settings
[01:32] <jonathan__> cfghghj
[01:32] <Sprafa> so instead of swap i should have linux-swap ?
[01:32] <Sprafa> i know it shouldn't be that big D:
[01:33] <Sprafa> i'm a big multi-task guy
[01:33] <deep__> Sprafa: /home is like "My documents" in windows, your "stuff" will be in there. And you can have that on the ntfs-drive if you wish.
[01:33] <Who_> Sprafa: if you select a 'type' of 'linux-swap' I think it will do the rest for you
[01:33] <unix_infidel> how can i have ubuntu use icon themes for gtk apps that use gtk when dont have gnome-desktop installed
[01:33] <Sprafa> sooo, instead of SWAP, linux-swap
[01:33] <Sprafa> got it..
[01:33] <Who_> Deep_, Sprafa: Linux cannot write reliabley to ntfs so a /home on ntfs would be a bad idea/ probably impossible
[01:33] <Sprafa> i know
[01:33] <Sprafa> :P
[01:33] <deep__> Who_: ntfs-3g! :D
[01:34] <Sprafa> there's one problem though, i'll have to abdicate of my FAT32 partition
[01:34] <Sprafa> since it only accepts 4 primary partitions
[01:34] <Sprafa> meh
[01:34] <Tm218> http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/8909/ubuntuuo1.jpg <-- is there any reason why that interfaces file wouldnt work? I am trying to connect via DHCP to my router
[01:34] <deep__> Sprafa: abdicate..? sry for my english ^^
[01:34] <Who_> Sprafa: /home is different from my docs in that all the configurations for each user are installed in there, so you can keep all your personal set up and still reinstal lall the OS
[01:34] <unix_infidel> anyone?
[01:34] <Flannel> sparkleytone: swap doesn't need to be a primary partition
[01:34] <Sprafa> aah
[01:34] <HOT> Tm218: i personally dont see anything wrong
[01:34] <Flannel> Sprafa: even
[01:34] <Sprafa> not have a FAT32 partition
[01:34] <Tm218> HOT where are the dhcp settings
[01:34] <Tm218> or whatever
[01:34] <Who_> deep_:what is ntfs-3g?
[01:35] <Tm218> because it says it cant connect
[01:35] <Sprafa> cause it only allows for 4 primaries
[01:35] <deep__> Sprafa: You can mount it later :)
[01:35] <deep__> Who_: A module for writing to NTFS :)
[01:35] <lupine_85> ntfs-3g is the newest way to format your ntfs hard drive
[01:35] <HOT> Tm218: as you are using auto i beleive that means attempt DHCP , hopefully someone else will confirm
[01:35] <Samuli^> Who_, a program that enables you to write to ntfs.
[01:35] <Sprafa> hmm
[01:35] <lupine_85> deep__: that's what I said :p
[01:35] <Tm218> right
[01:35] <Sprafa> thanks guys
[01:35] <Samuli^> it's beta.
[01:35] <Sprafa> ooh, one more thing
[01:35] <Tm218> HOT how does it know what the gateway and stuff is?
[01:35] <Who_> is it good?
[01:36] <HOT> Tm218: try static for now, just to make sure it can work
[01:36] <deep__> lupine_85: haha, sry, everyone is writing everywhere so i cant keep up :)
[01:36] <deep__> Sprafa: Ah? :)
[01:36] <mistik1> hello al
[01:36] <Sprafa> linux doesn't accept non-numbers dialing numbers, but windows does
[01:36] <eyequeue> Who_, have backups, as it is reportedly ujnreliable, you lose everything
[01:36] <red|rain> Hey, how do I add a link to irssi shortcut  on the desktop using urxvt as the terminal to use?
[01:36] <Samuli^> Who_, I'm using it with no problems, but I've heard some people have got their file-system b0rked by using it.
[01:36] <HOT> Tm218: sudo ifconfig
[01:36] <deep__> Sprafa: :S
[01:36] <Sprafa> so for instance, windows has my dialing number as "Clix" but linux refuses to dial that
[01:36] <Who_> eyequeue: I have once ext3 disk here failing, that's enough for me
[01:36] <Sprafa> so, basically, best bet is to call the ISP
[01:36] <jrib> red|rain: use -e
[01:36] <deep__> Sprafa: Umm.. i dunno anything about dialing soo.. =)
[01:36] <Who_> anyone want to help me find out a bit more about why my ext3 disk causes HARD freezes - I.E no caps/num lock?
[01:36] <Sprafa> kind of a bore, but oh well
[01:37] <Sprafa> i dunno anything about it either :D
[01:37] <red|rain> jrib:  so I would use irssi -e ?
[01:37] <mistik1> I have a situation where I want to upgrade a debian 3 to kubuntu, can anyone point me to a sources.list that would make that posible
[01:37] <Who_> Sprafa: what is dialling?
[01:37] <Sprafa> all i know is that linux won't connect
[01:37] <jrib> red|rain: urxvt -e command   (according to man urxvt)
[01:37] <Who_> Sprafa: are we talking modemes?
[01:37] <yoshiznit123> could anyone point me to some docs about sharing an internet connection over a ad-hoc wireless network? i've tried setting both computers to static addresses on the same ad-hoc network, but they still can't ping each other...
[01:37] <eyequeue> mistik1, completely unsupported
[01:37] <Sprafa> yes
[01:37] <Netslayer> i just plugged in a wingman joystick through usb and cat /dev/input/event1 is showing output....how do i make that work with xev to assign keys? do i need to set it up as a mouse in xorg.conf?
[01:37] <Sprafa> modems
[01:37] <deep__> Sprafa: Okay. :O
[01:37] <Flannel> mistik1: I don't believe it is possible, but... you can try these links (check your query from ubotu)
[01:37] <mistik1> I cannot use the install CD or I would just do that
[01:37] <red|rain> jrib: ok i'll tyr that
[01:37] <Flannel> !tell mistik1 about installation
[01:37] <eyequeue> mistik1, any kubuntu sources though
[01:37] <Sprafa> ubuntu also says my modem is "busy" when i tell it to autodetect
[01:37] <ladydoor> mistik1: it's not an upgrade--it's a completely different operating system
[01:37] <Tm218> HOT, http://upit.be/uploads/images/ubuntu1560.jpg
[01:37] <Who_> Sprafa: if it is a 'winmodem' then it might not owrk
[01:37] <Flannel> mistik1: there are otehr alternatives, that page lists a bunch
[01:38] <Tm218> HOT, http://upit.be/uploads/images/ubuntu1560.jpg <-- it thinks it is ipv6???
[01:38] <eyequeue> mistik1, i did similar to ubuntu-minimal for a server
[01:38] <Sprafa> oh ?
[01:38] <mistik1> eyequeue, unsupported or not I need to do this
[01:38] <Sprafa> not work at all ?
[01:38] <Who_> Sprafa: if it is a real modem then it may well do with the right software
[01:38] <Who_> Sprafa: if it is a connexant then you may need to buy the drivers
[01:38] <red|rain> jrib: thank you that worked ^_^
[01:38] <HOT> Tm218: erk, i see your problem, sec
[01:38] <eyequeue> mistik1, so it's "possible" but you'll have pains, and it may or may not end up how you like
[01:38] <Who_> Sprafa: I did this a while back on an PC of my auntie - it worked well
[01:38] <Tm218> good, because i dont know how to fix it :)
[01:38] <HOT> Tm218: actually wait i have exactly thesame
[01:38] <Sprafa> ouch...
[01:39] <Sprafa> that sucks
[01:39] <Who_> Sprafa: let's see what ubotu has to say
[01:39] <Who_> !winmodems
[01:39] <jrib> red|rain: np.  Why aren't you using screen though? :)
[01:39] <Flannel> mistik1: read the link ubotu sent you, there are plenty of other CD-less options.  You can't upgrade, but you can use debian to install ubuntu.
[01:39] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about winmodems - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:39] <ArrenLex> !winmodem
[01:39] <ubotu> You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DialupModemHowto
[01:39] <HOT> never noticed that before but i am running ipv6
[01:39] <Who_> Sprafa: no luck
[01:39] <mistik1> eyequeue, I have 11 years linux experience I can get past the problems
[01:39] <eyequeue> mistik1, but you'll also be completely on your own :/    if fluent, it can be a project :)  took me a few days here
[01:39] <Sprafa> :(
[01:39] <Sprafa> anyways
[01:39] <red|rain> jrib: whats screen?
[01:39] <Sprafa> thanks for explaining mount points !
[01:39] <jrib> ubotu: tell red|rain about screen
[01:39] <Who_> ArrenLex: thanks :)
[01:39] <Tm218> HOT would that stop it from connecting to my router?
[01:39] <mistik1> I just dont have any access to my own linux boxes at this time
[01:39] <Sprafa> i'll come back tomorrow, maybe from within ubuntu instead of windows D:
[01:39] <Who_> Sprafa: ArrenLex had the right phrase - you see it
[01:40] <deep__> Sprafa: Read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DialupModemHowto
[01:40] <deep__> =)
[01:40] <HOT> Tm218: ping 127.0.0.1
[01:40] <Who_> no one want to tell me where to find logs relating to disk failures?
[01:40] <Sprafa> hmm
[01:40] <Sprafa> great
[01:40] <eyequeue> mistik1, if debian-fluent and a bit ubuntu-fluent, i'll bet you succeed :)  start with ubuntu-minimal, get that working, then sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop when you are ready
[01:40] <Sprafa> THANKS!
[01:40] <Sprafa> anyways
[01:40] <Who_> or anyone good with S.M.A.R.T?
[01:40] <mistik1> guys I just need a sources.list
[01:40] <Sprafa> must sleep now D:
[01:40] <Sprafa> cy
[01:40] <Tm218> HOT
[01:40] <deep__> Sprafa: Take care =)
[01:40] <Sprafa> thanks for everything, Who_
[01:40] <Tm218> it can ping just fine
[01:40] <Sprafa> deep__
[01:40] <CppIsWeird> can anyone tell me how do make a system similar to the encryption intagrated into the OS of this project, is it a package, or all custom programming? : http://www.tgdaily.com/2006/08/30/defcon2006_janus_project/
[01:40] <Sprafa> woosh
[01:40] <Flannel> eyequeue, mistik1, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation , there are methods
[01:40] <Who_> Sprafa: No worries! good lcuk with Ubuntu :)
[01:40] <Sprafa> linux D:
[01:40] <deep__> Sprafa:  =D =D
[01:40] <red|rain> jrib: ahh thanks that should come in handy
[01:40] <deep__> linux ;D
[01:40] <deep__> <3
[01:41] <HOT> Tm218: can you set up a static ip for now? just to see if you can ping the router?
[01:41] <m0> When I goto SYSYEM > about Ubuntu . It says could not lauch menu item . Details: Failed to execute child process "yelp"
[01:41] <m0> no such file or dir
[01:41] <Tm218> too bad this is my first time on ubuntu/linux.. I am a bsd guy :)
[01:41] <yoshiznit123> could anyone point me to some docs about sharing an internet connection over a ad-hoc wireless network? i've tried setting both computers to static addresses on the same ad-hoc network, but they still can't ping each other...
[01:41] <Tm218> time to go read up on interfaces file
[01:41] <HOT> Tm218: before you go any further, quick sanity check , you do have link lights on your NIC and on the router right?
[01:41] <m0> how do I fix that?
[01:41] <eyequeue> mistik1, one line to start you:  deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper main restricted
[01:41] <Tm218> HOT it is vmware :)
[01:41] <jrib> m0: is yelp installed?
[01:41] <Tm218> it was working before i rebooted the guest OS
[01:41] <HOT> Tm218: ahhh now the truth comes out :)
[01:42] <m0> jrib: let me check
[01:42] <deep__> yoshiznit123: I would go to ubuntuforums.org about that.. ;O
[01:42] <eyequeue> mistik1, i recommend starting simple, then add universe or whatever afterward
[01:42] <xaxxon> do I have to do anything special to make sata drives show up in 6.06?
[01:42] <yoshiznit123> deep__, hmm ok :-)
[01:42] <HOT> Tm218: is ubuntu running under VMware?
[01:42] <Tm218> yes
[01:42] <deep__> yoshiznit123: =)
[01:42] <Who_> xaxxon: I had sata working out of the box
[01:42] <ArrenLex> mistik1: this is mine, ignore the comments please, they're other repos I've used in the past.
[01:42] <m0> what does yelp do?>
[01:42] <HOT> Tm218: bridged or NAT?
[01:42] <ArrenLex> mistik: http://68.148.168.84:8001/sources.list
[01:42] <Tm218> bridged
[01:42] <eyequeue> mistik1, and yes kubuntu uses ubuntu repos :)
[01:42] <HOT> Tm218: restart using NAT, tell me what happens
[01:42] <jrib> yelp (1)             - browse system documentation
[01:42] <Who_> xaxxon: you may just need to mount the disks?
[01:42] <mistik1> thanks guys
[01:43] <m0> ah okay cool, its working now
[01:43] <Tm218> ok HOT
[01:43] <carlos> can anyone help me set up my wireless?
[01:43] <xaxxon> apparently I turned them off in my bios... whoops
[01:43] <Who_> carlos: maybe - what kind of card have you got?
[01:43] <eyequeue> Flannel, lots of goodies on that page, thanks :)
[01:43] <m0> carlos: what wireless you have
[01:44] <Tm218> that works HOT
[01:44] <Tm218> :)
[01:44] <HOT> Tm218: for reasons i am faaar to tired to explain, bridging makes vmware cry, hope that works well for you :)
[01:44] <Who_> calos:also, does it show up in the netowrking dialogue under System-->Administration-->Networking
[01:45] <carlos> Who_ , m0 : I don`t know what you mean. 802.11b/g ?
[01:45] <Tm218> HOT but it works on all of my other guest OS's
[01:45] <Tm218> including freebsd :)
[01:45] <carlos> Who_:  it does
[01:45] <cartufer> card brand/model/chipset
[01:45] <Who_> carlos: do you know the manufacturer of your card - they all use different chips and need different treatment
[01:45] <Who_> carlos: this is good news - it measn it shouldn't be too hard
[01:45] <HOT> Tm218: your already close to the answer, its to do with IPV6 stack, best to ignore the details, i do :)
[01:46] <Who_> carlos: what help do you need, specifically?
[01:46] <carlos> Who: I don`t think so. Is there a way to find out that?
[01:46] <Who_> carlos: if it shows up in that netowrking dialogue then we may not need to know. Do you want to use WPA?
[01:46] <carlos> Who: yes..
[01:47] <ArrenLex> !tell ArrenLex about aiglx
[01:47] <Cymage> i recommend making them talk first, then add encryption
[01:47] <delire> has anyone else encountered the odd ~/.dmrc glitch on attempted login: "Your $Home/.dmrc file has incorrect permissions and is being ignored. This prevents the default session and language from being saved. File sould be owned by user and have 644 permissions."
[01:48] <Netslayer> i just plugged in a wingman joystick through usb and cat /dev/input/event1 is showing output....how do i make that work with xev to assign keys? do i need to set it up as a mouse in xorg.conf?
[01:48] <hister> !dvd
[01:48] <ubotu> See http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html  Libdvdcss can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[01:48] <Who_> carlos: well, I may not be able to help apart from the messages I make the ubuntu bot give you :), sorry - hope they can be of some use
[01:48] <ArrenLex> !joystick
[01:48] <ubotu> joystick: Testing and calibration tools. In component universe, is extra. Version 20051019-1ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 13 kB, installed size 72 kB
[01:48] <totall_6_7> delire: i have, it means that the permissions on your home folder have been changed
[01:48] <Who_> !tell carlos about networkmanager
[01:48] <Who_> !tell carlos about wpa
[01:48] <carlos> Who: thanks..
[01:49] <Who_> !tell who about networkmanager
[01:49] <Who_> !tell Who_ about networkmanager
[01:50] <rNIUS> bye :)
[01:50] <Who_> carlos: you really need: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager
[01:51] <Cymage> somebodies server went down
[01:51] <lupine_85> conspiracy++
[01:51] <Who_> can someone explain the ubotu message bout joystick!?
[01:51] <cartufer> heh, haven't seen a good netsplit in couple of years
[01:51] <Omnifarious> Hi there.
[01:51] <Omnifarious> I have a question about LVM and Ubuntu.
[01:51] <Omnifarious> I'm about to install Dapper Drake.
[01:52] <ArrenLex> !lvm
[01:52] <ubotu> Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[01:52] <jrib> Who_: he does not have a "joystick" factoid, so he gave you info about the "joystick" software package
[01:52] <Who_> jrib: thanks :) it seemed really weird! now it makes sense
[01:53] <raf256_> is there wine in 6.06 ?
[01:53] <jrib> raf256_: yes
[01:53] <Omnifarious> And my strategy for this system has been to have a root partition for each Linux distribution and revision.
[01:53] <jrib> !info wine
[01:53] <ubotu> wine: Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (Binary Emulator and Library). In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.9-0ubuntu2 (dapper), package size 8578 kB, installed size 40460 kB
[01:53] <lupine_85> !info wine dapper
[01:53] <ubotu> wine: Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (Binary Emulator and Library). In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.9-0ubuntu2 (dapper), package size 8578 kB, installed size 40460 kB
[01:53] <raf256_> if I have 6.06 installed (from DVDs) on internet-less box, how to find and reccord a cd that contains the files needed to upgrade 6.06 -> recent version, and how to use them on the box?
[01:53] <Omnifarious> ArrenLex: The links it gave me about LVM are nearly useless.
[01:53] <mjr> wine is one of the things you may want to have a newer version of, though, seeing as the development is quite rapid... but if you can make do with the dapper version, it's of course easier
[01:54] <mistik1> wish me luck, I'm on my way ;-)
[01:54] <mistik1> !tell mistik1 about gpg
[01:54] <Omnifarious> I struggled mightily with the beta of Dapper Drake and finally just threw up my hands and gave up on getting it to install the root filesystem into an LVM partition.
[01:54] <dad> i  type "configfile (hd1,1) /boot/grub/grub.conf" so i can boot back into linux, but it says "file not found" can someone help me?
[01:55] <Omnifarious> Is it easier with the release version?  Is there a trick I should know about?
[01:55] <Flannel> raf256_: you could download 6.06.1 on DVD, then update it as a repository (update your sources.list), that'll update you to the 6.06.1 snapshot point, if you want to be perfectly up to date, you'll have to do quite a bit of tracking and downloading and then installing manually.
[01:55] <Who_> !tell dad about grub
[01:55] <Flannel> Omnifarious: are you using the liveCD?
[01:55] <malar> help needed to configure IPW2100 on my Thinkpad T40
[01:55] <kitche> Omnifarious: the install has a choose of lvm or non lvm at least the alternate does
[01:56] <eyequeue> !ipw2100
[01:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ipw2100 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:56] <Who_> dad: I don't quite understand your question, but I have made the bot give you some good links :)
[01:56] <raf256_> Flannel: erm... I have the internet on a Debian box.  Is there some thing like image, or list of files, like ubuntu_errat_6.06_to_6.06.1 ?
[01:56] <kitche> !ipw2200
[01:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ipw2200 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:56] <Omnifarious> Flannel: I suspect not, I'm using the ISO called ubuntu-6.06.1-desktop-i386.iso
[01:56] <Flannel> Omnifarious: for LVM, you'll want to use the alternate ISO
[01:56] <Omnifarious> Oh, OK.
[01:56] <Flannel> Omnifarious: yeah, the desktop is the liveCD, you'll need the alternate to setup LVM
[01:56] <Mikel0> !autocad
[01:56] <ArrenLex> Hi Xenguy.
[01:56] <Who_> !tell Who_ about grub
[01:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about autocad - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:56] <Omnifarious> Flannel: Thanks.
[01:57] <Xenguy> ArrenLex: greetz
[01:57] <eyequeue> raf256_, the big big change in .1 is that the livecd isntaller is no longer broken.  there are also reportedly 300 bugs fixed
[01:57] <Omnifarious> kitche, Flannel: I'll come back and ask more once I've burned that.
[01:57] <Xenguy> hehe
[01:57] <raf256_> eyequeue: yeah I was lucky to get arund this damn bug, with 3th appraoch
[01:57] <Flannel> raf256_: the same places you downloaded the DVD iso, there are .manifest files, they list the stuff on the CDs, on the alternate (and the DVD) it's in a repository type format.  You can use that, but again, probably better off downloading the DVD itself
[01:58] <eyequeue> raf256_, i always use the alternate cd isntaller, so it never bit me :)
[01:58] <imperfect-> well
[01:58] <imperfect-> just for the record
[01:58] <imperfect-> make -j on a kernel
[01:58] <imperfect-> kills a core 2duo ;)
[01:58] <raf256_> Flannel: it seems like a big waste of bandwitch for me
[01:58] <raf256_> eyequeue: what alternate cd installer?
[01:58] <delire> totall_6_7: how would they change all of a sudden, from logout to login?
[01:58] <eyequeue> raf256_, there are three cd images per architecture, livecd, alternatecd, servercd
[01:58] <raf256_> erm
[01:59] <raf256_> I used the livecd (it was a DVD actially)
[01:59] <kitche> imperfect: why would you do make -j?
[01:59] <Flannel> raf256_: well, you'll be downloading the packages for each update you want, which if you have a DVD, and more than one flavor installed, is going to be quite signifigant
[01:59] <mjr> raf256_, apt-zip might help you with what you want
[01:59] <raf256_> is it ok? I used it to install to HDD
[01:59] <eyequeue> raf256_, livecd has little room for packages, as it has to fit all that live stuff on it, so i avoid it
[01:59] <Max_-> setup couldn't find make.. ????????? what's that?! lol
[01:59] <raf256_> I was surprised as it did not ask which packaged to instal
[01:59] <dipnlik> hi all. i just added system monitors to panel, and the processor always stays on 100% use. is this normal?
[01:59] <delire> totall_6_7: i'm helping a friend remotely. i'm on Debian, so cannot easily replicate the error.
[01:59] <imperfect-> kitche: I meant -j4
[01:59] <Flannel> raf256_: but, if you jsut want to get ubuntu or kubuntu installed, download 6.06.1 alternate
[01:59] <jman8888> OMG did you know you can use IRC in TERMINAL!
[01:59] <imperfect-> kitche: forgot the 4... went to hell
[01:59] <Flannel> Max_-: you need build-essential
[01:59] <eyequeue> raf256_, it's a VERY stripped installer, imo, just for the basic install
[01:59] <raf256_> jman8888: yes we know
[01:59] <Flannel> jman8888: yes, lots of us know that.  I'm doing it curently.
[01:59] <Max_-> Flannel,  thanks again
[01:59] <Who_> any grub gurus that can make grub scan my disk for other OSes, I _could_ add by hand but there are lots of them and I'd like to be able to automagically make a list - a bit like what happens at install time, I guess
[02:00] <kitche> imperfect: well why would you use make -j4 anyways? you should just do make
[02:00] <imperfect-> kitche: it goes faster.
[02:00] <jrib> jman8888: you can watch movies in the terminal too
[02:00] <imperfect-> kitche: that's why.
[02:00] <raf256_> eyequeue: yeah.. now how to install the missing stuff?  just  sudo apt-get install kaffeine xine xmms mc   and so on?
[02:00] <delire> Who_: just sudo grub-install
[02:00] <jman8888> jrib: How...
[02:00] <eyequeue> raf256_, you can't tell it you want to do anything in paritcular, and the alternate has the nice recovery tools i know
[02:00] <Who_> delire: that will look on all my disks for other Oses?
[02:00] <Flannel> raf256_: On the DVD? or Alternate Iso? or LiveCD?
[02:00] <imperfect-> kitche: 2 threads per core.
[02:00] <raf256_> kitche: -j 2 would go almost twice faster on dual core
[02:00] <delire> Who_: it'll do it's best..
[02:00] <raf256_> Flannel: I bought a newspaper with 3 dvds
[02:01] <Flannel> jman8888: through a lib like caca or aa, pipe the output (usually -vo) through them
[02:01] <unikon> Does anyone have the ubuntu book?
[02:01] <Max_-> Flannel, , cant find it in the add/remove, should I install adept .. or is it somewhere else.. or under another name?
[02:01] <imperfect-> raf256_ : well that;'s not entirely true..
[02:01] <kitche> raf256_ imperfect: I get that but I run a coreduo and it goes faster then my celeron
[02:01] <jrib> jman8888: mplayer -vo caca /path/to/movie   for example
[02:01] <Who_> delire: these aren't already in my menu.lst  or as a template in it
[02:01] <eyequeue> raf256_, that command will work, presuming you enabled the universe repo of course
[02:01] <raf256_> imperfect-: it is
[02:01] <imperfect-> raf256_ :it will only do a multiple compile in the current directoty.
[02:01] <raf256_> eyequeue: I think it is on by fedfuault ther
[02:01] <totall_6_7> delire: when it happened to me i was the one who had changed the permissions, you should change the permissions back so that you as the owner are the only one who can write and execute, and the group can read
[02:01] <delire> Who_: that's fine..
[02:01] <totall_6_7> that fixed it for me
[02:01] <raf256_> eyequeue: it will ask me to put in the DVD?
[02:01] <Flannel> Max_-: build-essential, it'll be in apt-get, or whatever GUI you use, or 'sudo apt-get install build essential' will do it
[02:01] <Flannel> raf256_: yes
[02:01] <Who_> delre: thanks, I'll try now and look at the new menu.list :)
[02:01] <raf256_> imperfect-: ah, yes.
[02:02] <imperfect-> raf256_ : if i could continue going through and not get stuck on certain directories..it'd be better
[02:02] <jman8888> jrib: Does it stay in the terminal windows?
[02:02] <eyequeue> raf256_, default is main and restricted, uncoment universe and multiverse if oyu want those, then suso apr-get update
[02:02] <imperfect-> I generally do twice the number of cores
[02:02] <Flannel> jman8888: yes, it'll use ASCII art
[02:02] <delire> totall_6_7: yes, a chmod 644 should do it. or just a chown -R user ~/ and then a chmod -R ug+rw ~/ i guess
[02:02] <raf256_> eyequeue: how to edit the list of enabled repos, other then vi/vim/nano etc?
[02:02] <eyequeue> raf256_, if the package is on the dvd, yes, it will otherwise use the network
[02:02] <unix_infidel> anyone know how i can get gtk icon themes to work in ubuntu without having gnome installed.
[02:02] <Flannel> raf256_: you mean trhough a gui? gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:02] <jman8888> jrib: Can it get it thru SSH?
[02:02] <raf256_> hmm well I ment .. well ok
[02:02] <Flannel> jman8888: yes
[02:03] <eyequeue> raf256_, you have it, sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list (&& sudo apt-get update)
[02:03] <imperfect-> I just sid a make old config
[02:03] <Who_> delire: do I have to be careful choosing between /dev/hda and /dev/hda1?
[02:03] <delire> totall_6_7: actually i meant chmod -R u+rw ;)
[02:03] <imperfect-> er did
[02:03] <jman8888> Flannel: How?
[02:03] <imperfect-> I hope it works well ;)
[02:03] <totall_6_7> delire: lol
[02:03] <delire> Who_: yes, install onto /dev/hda
[02:03] <Asc> jrib: does this -vo caca thing do actual video?  Like in a tty?
[02:03] <delire> totall_6_7: i'll pass that on.
[02:03] <Outerlimit> !paste
[02:03] <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)
[02:03] <jman8888> mplayer -vo caca ssh@server.backup /home/backup/video/1.avi?
[02:03] <Who_> delire: you got time/patientce to explain what happens if I use /dev/hda1?
[02:04] <Flannel> jman8888: same was as normal.  for instance: 'mplayer [path]  -vo caca' if you'veinstalled lib-caca
[02:04] <unix_infidel> uahhh, anyone?
[02:04] <delire> totall_6_7: thanks. glad to know someone else was bitten..
[02:04] <delire> Who_: it's very late here. i'm off to bed. better to ask as slightly more awake human ;)
[02:04] <totall_6_7> delire: you are welcome
[02:04] <delire> Who_: good lucj
[02:04] <delire> *luck
[02:04] <Who_> delire: thanks :)
[02:04] <Flannel> jman8888: no, you're already connected through ssh when you do it.
[02:04] <unix_infidel> i've made the proper entries in .gtkrc-2.0
[02:04] <Flannel> jman8888: or you can ssh [mplayer etc]  to do it in one command
[02:05] <Who_> delire: the key seemed to be --recheck
[02:05] <jman8888> Flannel: Is lib-coco in the repositories?
[02:05] <jman8888> Flannel: Or whatever it was called.
[02:05] <jrib> Asc: yes
[02:06] <jrib> Asc: well, ascii video
[02:06] <Flannel> jman8888: caca-utils will do it
[02:06] <Asc> jrib: I'll bet that makes it hard to read subtitles
[02:06] <jrib> Asc: lol
[02:07] <Xordan> Hey, I'm having problems running gdmsetup. I get this output when I try to run it: http://rafb.net/paste/results/AM1my641.html
[02:07] <PopeOfWar> I have a Creative Soundblaster X-Fi sound card... how do I install it?'
[02:07] <Xordan> I see several people having trouble on the forums with no answer on how to fix it... any ideas here?
[02:07] <Xordan> I've tried reinstalling gdm
[02:07] <jrib> Xordan: is gdm running?
[02:07] <Max_-> Flannel, what can I answer to this :   What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel?
[02:07] <Xordan> jrib: I assume so...
[02:08] <Xordan> I'll check
[02:08] <Max_-> there is nothing in the /usr/src
[02:08] <Flannel> Max_-: you need to install the linux-headers first
[02:08] <Flannel> !tell Max_- about compile
[02:08] <frying_fish> Max_-: you will need to download the linux-headers package
[02:08] <Xordan> jrib: Yes
[02:08] <Max_-> Flannel, apt-get install linux-headers ???
[02:08] <Who_> for some reason, update-grub --recheck /dev/hda doesn't seem to find all my OSes (ubuntu or SUSE or Fedora) - anyone know why?
[02:09] <Who_> no, I lie, I mean grub-install
[02:09] <hister> I followed the howto on enabling dvd playback. When I double click on a dvd thats on my desktop, it says cannot open pmount. When I try to open disc from VLC, it does not do anything. Any ideas?
[02:09] <eyequeue> Who_, i can't explain the why, but i found it works once, but on reinstall (of edgy, over and over) it doesn't sense them
[02:09] <jrib> Xordan: permissions on /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf are ok?
[02:10] <eyequeue> Who_, it's as if it is a "one-shot deal" somehow
[02:10] <Who_> eyequeue: yea, I think it uses whatever is _in_ the bootloader somehow
[02:10] <Xordan> jrib: -rw-r--r--
[02:10] <Flannel> Max_-: sorry, that link doesn't have it.  um, linux-headers-arch where arch is your kernels arch
[02:10] <jackson> how do I enable apm in my kernel so that I can use apmd?
[02:10] <Who_> eyequeue: I mean the bootsector: time for bed :P
[02:10] <jrib> Xordan: check /etc/gdm/gdm.conf too since I'm not sure what it uses
[02:11] <eyequeue> Who_, ahh, could be, i had dapper there at first *nod*
[02:11] <NET||abuse> hi, i'm trying to get some compiz magic working, but apparently the packages aren't right on the debs at the mo, so i'm compiling up my own deb for now.. but i get this error error: C compiler cannot create executables
[02:11] <backlit> does anyone know where gnome-screensaver is supposed to start?
[02:11] <Who_> eyequeue: yea, I don't know when I lost all mine though... curious
[02:11] <NET||abuse> error: C compiler cannot create executables
[02:11] <Xordan> jrib: Same
[02:11] <eyequeue> Who_, i think you solved my mystery, thanks :)
[02:11] <dad> I can't seem to get my linux install back, I've tried looking through the forums and tried as couple of different things, i downloaded a grub boot image a made a boot cd but the didn't work, can somehelp?
[02:11] <Who_> I have about 6 OSes on this PC and I don't want to do it all by hand!
[02:11] <jrib> NET||abuse: install build-essential
[02:11] <Max_-> Flannel, well.. okay it just listed me tons of linux-headers packages... I guess in my case linux-headers-2.6.15-27-386 2.6.15-27.48 should do it
[02:11] <jrib> Xordan: are those files blank?
[02:11] <backlit> somehow it refuses to recognize my "lock screen" keyboard shortcut, but otherwise starts and runs normally
[02:12] <NET||abuse> jrib, thanks
[02:12] <eyequeue> Who_, can you boot to some other os via rescue cd, and run grub from that first?
[02:12] <backlit> occasionally it comes back (the keyboard shortcut), so it is quite annoying...
[02:12] <Xordan> jrib: No
[02:12] <Who_> eyequeue: the rescue CD? I dunno, tell me more :)
[02:12] <cartufer> after i got access to an ntfs drive wut should i use to back it up to multiple dvds?
[02:13] <Who_> dad: do you still have GRUB as your bootloader or has it been replaced?
[02:13] <jackson> how do I enable APM in my kernel so that I can use apmd?
[02:13] <jrib> Xordan: hmm... strange.  I've seen this once before but it was because the user had kdm running instead of gdm.  Are you running this with 'sudo gdmsetup'?
[02:13] <dad> i installed xp recently
[02:13] <Who_> cartufer: k3b is a bit like nero
[02:13] <eyequeue> Who_, say you have a working menu.lst on suse, boot to suse and update-grub, then to ubuntu and do so :)
[02:13] <PopeOfWar> Where do I get Linux drivers for a Creative X-Fi XtremeMusic sound card??
[02:13] <Who_> dad: ahhhh :) the link the bot sent you about restoring ubuntu doesn't work
[02:13] <Who_> ?
[02:13] <Xordan> jrib: Yup
[02:13] <Xordan> heh :)
[02:14] <dad> no, i can't see were to type in rescue
[02:14] <eyequeue> Who_, saying that poorly, but the idea was to get the os's into the bootsector so it can find them, if that helps
[02:14] <Who_> eyequeue :) yea, but how do I boot to grub (in fact, I am just going to swipe the relevant lines from the menu.lst on Suse's boot partition :))
[02:14] <dad> I just typed it at the splash screen but it booted normal
[02:14] <Who_> dad: did you boot from a cd?
[02:14] <Xordan> PopeOfWar: There aren't any as far as I know
[02:14] <dad> So i clicked on the install icon on the desktop and it went throught the normal install process
[02:14] <jrib> Xordan: ok is xdm or kdm running?
[02:15] <PopeOfWar> !soundcard
[02:15] <eyequeue> Who_, yeah, i paste lines from edgy into dapper and vice versa, every time one or the other has a new kernel
[02:15] <dad> yes
[02:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about soundcard - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:15] <Who_> dad: if it was a Dapper CD you may have needed to choose the 'more options' section and type rescue there (it gives you a box)
[02:15] <dad> yeah i did the
[02:15] <PopeOfWar> Xordan: Right, there aren't any on creative.com... but I was hoping to find something that, at least, worked, lol
[02:15] <kitche> PopeOfWar: should be able to get drivers for it from Creative's website
[02:16] <PopeOfWar> kitche: Read above^^
[02:16] <dad> I typed it at the end of the option string that pops up  with ti
[02:16] <Xordan> jrib: Nope
[02:16] <Who_> dad: I have never used Dapper in rescue mode so I don't know I'm afraid :) people have said the installer _looks_ like it is in normal mode but in fact it is not...does that make sense? did it ask you to partition your disjks?
[02:16] <kitche> PopeOfWar: they do have a website
[02:16] <Who_> dad: are you in the live environment now?
[02:16] <sycho> I want to change my view settings from icons to lists in all my directories. How can I change them all at once instead of setting each folder individually?
[02:16] <eyequeue> Who_, after the -- ?  will dad's "rescue" be seen there?
[02:16] <dad> no, not anymore
[02:17] <jrib> Xordan: are all the posts you saw on the forums very recent?
[02:17] <jman8888> Flannel: Text Video is awesome
[02:17] <Xordan> jrib: Yeah they are
[02:17] <Who_> eyequeue: I don't know - perhaps I don't rememberthe live CD boot very well....
[02:17] <Xordan> Within a few days
[02:17] <PopeOfWar> kitche: Yes, creative.com. They have no available XtremeMusic drivers for Linux
[02:17] <jrib> Xordan: are you using unofficial repositories?
[02:17] <dad> i gothropugh the disk partition portion of the installer and after that it start installing
[02:17] <dad> I don't want it to write over stuuf
[02:17] <Xordan> jrib: Does edgy count as unofficial? :)
[02:17] <Who_> dad: did you stop it before it started overwriting?
[02:18] <dad> yes
[02:18] <jrib> Xordan: doh, get to #ubuntu+1 for edgy support please :)
[02:18] <Xordan> jrib: My bad, thanks :)
[02:18] <eyequeue> Who_, it consused me, it seems to ignore the rescue bootparam, but maybe that's because it has a special initrd on that line already?
[02:18] <jman8888> Why is mplayer telling me my pc is to old to play video?
[02:18] <jman8888> Its not...
[02:18] <Who_> dad: cool:) I know this is of no consolation now, but if install again you may want to have a separate / and /home partition - it means you can overwrite sysfiles without your presonal stuff :)
[02:19] <jman8888> Its playing it right now acctually. With no problems.
[02:19] <DracIIci> I just tried to boot into a newly installed 2.6.15-27-686 kernel and I got a kernel panic. It claims that it can't find my root filesystem, even though it's set to the right location. What gives?
[02:19] <Who_> dad: did the wiki give instructiuons for accessing the grub console from  the live CD?
[02:19] <jrib> jman8888: sometimes it's forced to skip frames.  #mplayer probably knows exactly what that error means
[02:19] <kitche> PopeOfWar: it should work with the Sound Blaster Xi-Fi drivers? make sure that everything is unmuted
[02:19] <dad> no
[02:19] <Who_> eyequeue: that's beyond me :)
[02:19] <hister> I followed the howto on enabling dvd playback. When I double click on a dvd thats on my desktop, it says cannot open pmount. When I try to open disc from VLC, it does not do anything. Any ideas?
[02:19] <dad> i have a seperate boot cd to access grub
[02:19] <Max_-> ... and I still have that trouble with the resolution I can't figure out where's the problem... is gnome really stuck at such a low resolution?  and worst is that I have a widescreen and it's a fullscreen resolution :P hah.. help please someone ... I'll go crazy, everything is so big! :P
[02:19] <Who_> dad: I'll go hunting - easier to find if you know what you're looking for
[02:19] <Who_> :)
[02:20] <dad> thanx
[02:20] <dad> I went to http://www.sorgonet.com/linux/grubrestore

[02:23] <Who_> newbuntu: hello :)
[02:23] <Max_-> ohh okay Cymage trying this
[02:23] <kitche> PopeOfWar: surprise that ubuntu doesn't have support already since there is a kernel module for it
[02:23] <dfgas> is there a way to apt-get e.17?
[02:23] <PopeOfWar> kitche: Well... there aren't any "SoundBlaster" drivers... you can get X-Fi drivers... Audigy drivers...
[02:23] <newbuntu> can anyone please tell me how to uncompress an ace file?  I have unace and such but i cant seem to figure out how to open one
[02:23] <Cymage> newbie, ill try, whats the prob?
[02:23] <PopeOfWar> kitche: If I download the kernel module, would the card work?
[02:24] <kitche> PopeOfWar: should be already made unless it's not made by default
[02:24] <Who_> newbuntu: what did you try?
[02:24] <newbuntu> unace non-free
[02:24] <NewbieLinux22> cd live
[02:24] <dad> thanks who,
[02:24] <newbuntu> I used man but cant find an easy command line

[02:24] <NewbieLinux22> PC (Intel x86) desktop CD   free verrsion
[02:24] <dad> I have been trying that for the past hgalf hour
[02:25] <dad> I've been putting in setup (hd1)
[02:25] <Cymage> newbielinux22, and the problem is?
[02:25] <Who_> sycho: at a guess, use gconf :)
[02:25] <dad> i did hd0 and it worked go figure
[02:25] <sycho> thanks
[02:25] <NewbieLinux22> when i click install from desktop to slow to response
[02:26] <Who_> dad: glad it worked
[02:26] <Cymage> newbielinux22, how much ram u got?
[02:26] <Max_-> video cart bus identifier??? how do I know?  they suggest PCI:1:0:0  but well.....
[02:26] <Who_> sycho: I am not sure, but I'd say gconf-editor is your friend
[02:27] <NewbieLinux22> 192 ram 40 gb pentium 3
[02:27] <sycho> Who_: would seem to me that there would be an options to set all the directories like the current directory
[02:27] <Who_> sycho: /apps/nautilus/preferences/default_folder_viewer is the thing to change :)
[02:27] <h00t> hello can anyone help me .. i had a good ubuntu (latest) installed ... i but i installed XP which (of course) overwrote mbr ... how can i fix this
[02:27] <NewbieLinux22> 700 megahertz
[02:27] <sycho> Who_: I just hate icons for displaying files. I like the lists.
[02:27] <jrib> ubotu: tell h00t about grub
[02:27] <Who_> sycho: hmm, not the GNOME way, I think (Gnome tends to aim to believe in setting good defaults and trying to recuce the number of things a user has to deal with...)
[02:28] <sethk> h00t, reinstall grub
[02:28] <Cymage> newbielinux22, download the x86 alternate cd, use it. Minumum sys req for ubuntu live is 192 so u are at bare min
[02:28] <Who_> sycho - you know how to change the gconf key, or you want help?
[02:28] <kitche> h00t: have to use the grub rescue cd
[02:28] <h00t> jrib .. the problem is that my system don't have floppy
[02:28] <sethk> kitche, no, he can use the live cd
[02:28] <jrib> h00t: you don't need a floppy
[02:28] <h00t> i got live cd ...
[02:28] <h00t> what exactly do i have to do
[02:28] <kitche> sethk: that's the same thing really
[02:29] <sycho> Who_: Where do I find gconf? then I'll take a look and let you know. :)
[02:29] <mluser-work> can anyone tell me what the repository for edgy is?
[02:29] <Who_> h00t: dad just had success following this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351&highlight=grub+restore+live
[02:29] <sethk> kitche, it's likely he has the live cd, and would have to download a grub rescue cd, so operationally it is not
[02:29] <jrib> h00t: the page ubotu sent you has step by step instructions
[02:29] <Who_> sycho: it is a big XML store - you can edit using gconf-editor
[02:29] <Max_-> No idea at all about this?
[02:29] <sethk> Max_-, lspci will give you the ID you need
[02:30] <Max_-> thx
[02:30] <Rehinold> hi
[02:30] <sycho> Who_: Alright I think I need help. :) This is alot more difficult than I figured.
[02:31] <Rehinold> do you know what's the software to make videos of your own desktop? (like the videos on youtube of xgl)
[02:31] <Who_> sycho: Okay, have you run gconf-editor
[02:31] <jrib> Rehinold: istanbul , if it works for you
[02:31] <Who_> Rehinold: you can use xvidcap
[02:31] <sycho> Who_: Would  a set all directories option kill them? :)
[02:31] <Rehinold> Who_: thanks
[02:31] <sycho> Who_: not yet
[02:31] <Who_> sycho: ohhh, you never know :P
[02:31] <Who_> sycho: okay, at a terminal type 'gconf-editor'
[02:31] <sycho> Who_: ok
[02:32] <dad> can someone tell me how to  edit themes
[02:32] <dad> i mean select a theme
[02:32] <jrib> dad: art.gnome.org has a tutorial on creating themes that would probably be helpful
[02:32] <h00t> thanx guys ... i will print it and try this stuff
[02:33] <jrib> dad: for selecting themes:  system > preferences > themes
[02:33] <Max_-> sethk, 0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 7145  ------  0000:01:00.0  ... so this would be PCI:1:0:0 ??
[02:33] <Who_> sycho: now navigate to apps/nautilus/preferences
[02:33] <Who_> there should be a 'default folder view' option there
[02:33] <dad> my sons computer is missing that line in the menu
[02:33] <sycho> Who_: there.
[02:34] <Who_> sycho: see the 'default folder view' key?
[02:34] <jrib> dad: do you know if you are using GNOME?
[02:34] <dad> yes
[02:34] <sycho> Who_: yup.
[02:34] <Who_> sycho: it is in fact 'default folder viewing' and should be set to 'list_view'
[02:34] <jrib> dad: run
[02:34] <jrib> dad: run gnome-theme-manager from a terminal
[02:35] <grouchytim> dad:  goto system : preferences : theme
[02:35] <dad> thanx
[02:35] <chuckyp> dad, or just click System > preferences > theme
[02:35] <blind> Okay, I ordered a Geforce FX 5200, popped it in, and I'm not quite sure how to get my display switched from my onboard over to that.
[02:35] <chuckyp> !tell blind about nvidia
[02:35] <Who_> sycho: it works?
[02:35] <sycho> Who_: your a fuckin god.. :) thank you
[02:36] <kitche> !language
[02:36] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[02:36] <Who_> sycho: just while you're there, take a peek in the 'icon_view' section and see if you can change things to the way you like them :)
[02:36] <grouchytim> blind:  run this     dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:36] <Max_-> ?
[02:36] <sycho> Who_: going to thanks a bunches. didn't know about gconf
[02:36] <Who_> sycho: it's pretty handy once every so often :)
[02:38] <sycho> who_: BTW: know how to get a script to echo the last 6 lines of text? I'm trying to modify a script for repairing par2 files. As its set now it creates a whole log file. but I would prefer just to echo the last 6 lines.
[02:38] <NewbieLinux22> do you the site of gnome desktop?

[02:41] <jrib> NewbieLinux22: what are you using now?
[02:41] <grouchytim> does anyone else feel retarded when they can fix something on one machine but can't replicate the fix on an identical system and problem?

[02:43] <Isaiah_the_Marty> how do i find my own ip?
[02:43] <Isaiah_the_Marty> i did netstat but it has alot of other stuff and its hard to decipher
 locally or on the internet ?
[02:43] <grouchytim> www.whatismyip.com
[02:43] <Isaiah_the_Marty> both would be good
[02:43] <grouchytim> or ifconfig
[02:43] <grouchytim> both will tell you
[02:43] <Isaiah_the_Marty> whats ifconfig?
[02:43] <Isaiah_the_Marty> i'm new at this
 what he says
[02:43] <Isaiah_the_Marty> alright thanks
[02:44] <grouchytim> np
[02:44] <chronic1> anyone here have monkeys audio (ape) working in the latest release of ubuntu?
[02:44] <jman8888> Is there a way to log into ssh visually(Like see the desktop?)
[02:44] <grouchytim> use remote desktop
[02:44] <brian98> jman888: nomachine.com the best way
[02:44] <brian98> vnc the slow way
[02:44] <brian98> :)
[02:44] <Isaiah_the_Marty> can someone get me unbanned from #wrongplanet
[02:44] <jman8888> How do i set up vnc.
[02:45] <Isaiah_the_Marty> i'm at my school and it says i'm banned
[02:45] <chronic1> Isaiah_the_Marty: is it a nick ban or a net ban?
[02:45] <brian98> !vnc
[02:45] <ubotu> vnc is a way of doing remote desktop.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !freenx.
[02:45] <Max_-> Could it be that.....       0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 7145  ------  0000:01:00.0  ... so is my PCI:1:0:0 ??
[02:45] <Isaiah_the_Marty> i'm not sure
[02:45] <SpaceFrog> Hey guys. How can i change the permissions on /var/www/ so that i can write to it without sudo ?
[02:45] <Isaiah_the_Marty> it just says im banned chronic1
[02:45] <Isaiah_the_Marty> and i havnet been there in like six weeks
[02:45] <chronic1> Isaiah_the_Marty: they might have your net/host banned because of abuse from other students
[02:45] <Isaiah_the_Marty> can i get around that somehow?
[02:46] <Rehinold> xvidcap: error while loading shared libraries: libpng.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[02:46] <Rehinold> damn
[02:46] <blind> Trying to install the nvidia drivers gives me a 404...
[02:46] <chronic1> spoof your ip or go to a different network
[02:46] <chronic1> maybe use a proxy?
[02:46] <Isaiah_the_Marty> how can i spoof
[02:46] <chronic1> but you can change your nick and ident to see if it is local to you
[02:47] <EnsignRedshirt> Rehinold: Install libpng
[02:47] <grouchytim> blind:  did you do that X11 thing?
[02:47] <Isaiah121> i've tried other nicks christel
[02:47] <blind> yeah, grouchy. but that's not the issue..
[02:47] <Isaiah121> chronic1*
[02:47] <Isaiah121> i think its netban
[02:47] <Rehinold> EnsignRedshirt: can you help me in that?
[02:47] <grouchytim> ok i'm sorry then
[02:47] <Isaiah121> i know a couple other kids that go there from my class
[02:47] <chronic1> Isaiah121: well -- it isn't as simple as changing your nick
[02:48] <EnsignRedshirt> Rehinold: Do you prefer command line or GUI?
[02:48] <chronic1> ah hah, that is good possibility
[02:48] <grouchytim> you're trying to install nVidia drivers?
[02:48] <blind> yes
[02:48] <Rehinold> EnsignRedshirt: it's the same, important is to fix the problem
[02:48] <Max_-> sethk, are you there?
[02:48] <Isaiah121> can someone just message them to unban it?
[02:48] <juan> m
[02:48] <EnsignRedshirt> Rehinold: In Synaptic, search for libpng
[02:48] <juan> madden
[02:48] <grouchytim> sorry but i'm really not that savy
[02:48] <Rehinold> EnsignRedshirt: ok
[02:48] <bruenig> apt-cache search libpng
[02:49] <grouchytim> i'd check the forums
[02:49] <EnsignRedshirt> Rehinold: You'll find several packages like libpng## (where ## is some number).
[02:49] <Rehinold> EnsignRedshirt: alrigh
[02:49] <chronic1> anyone here familiar with the ape music format?
[02:49] <Max_-> or anyone who knows about pci bus IDs...
[02:49] <Rehinold> EnsignRedshirt: I'm on it
[02:49] <tainted_> how do i disable a service?
[02:49] <tainted_> from terminal
[02:50] <bruenig> tainted_, what service
[02:50] <tainted_> gnome
[02:50] <grouchytim> lol that's a good service
[02:50] <bruenig> you want to disable gnome?
[02:50] <IGS|OFF> Hey guys :D
[02:50] <IGS|OFF> i am n00b on ubuntu
[02:50] <Protostar> Hi, I'm trying to mount a floppy disk in Kubuntu and cannot figure out how
[02:50] <IGS|OFF> is it only 1 cd?
[02:50] <IGS|OFF> for install :S
[02:50] <Cymage> isaiah121, a message from us won't unban u.  They banned the school for a reason, whatever that reason is
[02:50] <tainted_> um
[02:50] <bruenig> IGS|OFF, yes
[02:50] <tainted_> gnome/gdm whatever
[02:50] <IGS|OFF> bruenig thx
[02:50] <EnsignRedshirt> Rehinold: I am using breezy, so I have libpng12-0 installed. It is probably a higher version number if you are using dapper.
[02:50] <tainted_> i just don't want it to go into gnome on boot up
[02:50] <IGS|OFF> i used slack before ^^ , and that is like 4cds :P
[02:51] <Rehinold> EnsignRedshirt: I have installed 12-0
[02:51] <EnsignRedshirt> Rehinold: Did you just install it, or was it already installed?
[02:51] <IGS|OFF> soo
[02:51] <Rehinold> EnsignRedshirt: it seems to be installed because the square before the name is colored
[02:51] <grouchytim> correct me if i'm wrong but don't you want to change the run level on bootup from level 5? to 3?
[02:51] <IGS|OFF> i am going to use ubuntu to whine and play games
[02:51] <IGS|OFF> what ubuntu realease should i use
[02:51] <Rehinold> EnsignRedshirt: i did nothing
[02:51] <grouchytim> so it will just stay command line correct?
[02:51] <warpzone> hey guys, quick question, is there no linux-restricted-modules package for the 2.6.15-27-386 kernel?
[02:51] <tainted_> grouchytim yes
[02:51] <bruenig> IGS|OFF, 6.06
[02:51] <georgy> tainted: chosse your session in the login manager
[02:52] <IGS|OFF> yeah i know that to
[02:52] <IGS|OFF> but alternate, powerpc, and so on
[02:52] <chuckyp> warpzone, there should be
[02:52] <bruenig> IGS|OFF, desktop
[02:52] <IGS|OFF> or just 1386?
[02:52] <IGS|OFF> okey
[02:52] <IGS|OFF> thx
[02:52] <grouchytim> i did that once before about 4 years ago but i couldn't tell you how to do it in grub.....that was lilo
[02:52] <chuckyp> !tell warpzone about linux-restricted-modules
[02:52] <gnomefreak> warpzone: there is
[02:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about linux-restricted-modules - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:52] <grouchytim> but i'm sure you can do it in grub too
[02:52] <IGS|OFF> desktop 1386 ;=
[02:52] <Protostar> anyone know how to mount a floppy in Kubuntu? I know this is a noob question but it worked in Ubuntu and I can't figure out how to get it working in KDE
[02:52] <tainted_> georgy which sesison should i choose
[02:52] <warpzone> I look on adept (im using kde) and I only see -23 and -26
[02:52] <EnsignRedshirt> Rehinold: OK, you already have a version of libpng installed.  So now the question is why xvidcap couldn't use it.
[02:53] <sycho> brian98: how would I modify "tail /var/log/messages -n 6" to echo the last things that were printed in the terminal window?
[02:53] <bruenig> IGS|OFF, yeah, but it is i386 just an FYI
[02:53] <blind> Is there a repo down or something? trying to apt-get nvidia-glx-legacy gets a 404.
[02:53] <Rehinold> EnsignRedshirt: the error was this
[02:53] <Rehinold> EnsignRedshirt: xvidcap: error while loading shared libraries: libpng.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[02:53] <georgy> tainted: do ou have kde or similar installed ?
[02:53] <tainted_> i just want to disable X / gnome from bootup
[02:53] <Lecksfrawen> Hi, I was using the partitioner of  the Ubuntu Desktop LiveCD, I reduced the size of my NFTS partition, then created a Swap and a EXT3 partition,
[02:53] <Lecksfrawen> I created them as primary partitions.. since the menu suggested it.
[02:53] <Lecksfrawen> After this, it asked me where to install Ubuntu, but the new partitions I made said they were about 0 KB, so I returned to check and see if had to resize them again.... and to my surprise the NFTS partition I had existed no more, it only displayed a single partition with no file system assigned to it.
[02:53] <Lecksfrawen> Obviously WinXP doesn't recognize now my harddrive... and strangely the Ubuntu CD doesn't boot anymore.
[02:53] <Lecksfrawen> My Hdrive has lots of files I use daily (my WinXP is installed on other Hdrive), is there any way to recover that NFTS partition I had before?
[02:53] <Rehinold> EnsignRedshirt: it seems there is a .2
[02:53] <blind> tainted_: what do you want to boot into?
[02:53] <tainted_> blind shell
[02:53] <Rehinold> EnsignRedshirt: maybe that's the error
[02:53] <bruenig> !enter
[02:53] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[02:53] <blind> tainted: oh.
[02:54] <IGS|OFF> bruenig check privv
[02:54] <jman8888> how can i change a users pass in terminal?
[02:54] <blind> passwd
[02:54] <tainted_> no one knows?
[02:54] <georgy> tainted : you mean you want only the command line ?
[02:54] <tainted_> YES
[02:54] <sethk> Lecksfrawen, possibly, if the partition hasn't been overwritten, only the partition table, then you can get it back.
[02:54] <bruenig> tainted_, I assume that is dictated in /etc/init.d, figure out what script does that and move it or change it or do whatever you like
[02:55] <georgy> tainted : wait a moment
[02:55] <Max_-> sethk, 0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 7145  ------  0000:01:00.0  ... so this would be PCI:1:0:0 ??
[02:55] <tainted_> which script is it
[02:55] <M_Fatih> hi all
[02:55] <sethk> Max_-, yes
[02:55] <Rehinold> EnsignRedshirt: ok i found this http://www.jarre-de-the.net/faq/index.php?sid=56033&lang=en&action=artikel&cat=&id=372&artlang=en
[02:55] <IGS|OFF> i got ati x800xt pro, does the ati drives on www.ati.com for linux work on obuntu also?
[02:56] <Isaiah121> is there any pdf's on the net about cool hacks or mods you can do for ubuntu?
[02:56] <bruenig> !ati
[02:56] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:56] <Isaiah121> i know theres a hardcopy
[02:56] <eXey> thx
[02:56] <M_Fatih> i have a problem with pearpc 4* verison :[ i want to open my macosximage phanter.img, pearpc return this error "[IO/IDE]  <Error> test/imgs/linux.img: could not open file (No such file or directory)" what is this, how can i fix this?
[02:56] <EnsignRedshirt> Rehinold: You could try that.  I don't know much about the subtleties of library names--I had hoped it was as simple as installing a missing library.  Maybe someone else has a clue.
[02:56] <viator> use the xp cd and try the recovery console
[02:57] <Rehinold> EnsignRedshirt: ok
[02:57] <georgy> tainted : watch /etc/initab
[02:57] <Max_-> sethk, it asks the amount of ram to be used by my video card....  it's suposed to be 128 native and 128 shared...  so it will used it's 128 itself and I should specify there the 128 mb to take from my RAM?
[02:58] <EnsignRedshirt> Rehinold: Both libpng10-0 and libpng2 (older libpng repositories) are available in breezy.  I don't know about dapper.
[02:58] <sethk> Max_-, almost always, you should not specify ram
[02:58] <roger_> Roger, entrando no canal com boa-noite a todos (as)
[02:58] <EnsignRedshirt> Rehinold: (change 'repositories' to 'libraries' in my last message)
[02:58] <sethk> Max_-, except for some very old cards, the server will figure out the amount of ram automatically
[02:58] <Rehinold> no here I haven't the repos
[02:59] <Rehinold> i don't have those lib
[02:59] <sethk> Max_-, with an ati card, you shouldn't have to specify anything, really, it will probe for everything and more or less just work.  Or, at least, just work as well as the ati drivers can work.
[02:59] <whosit> any info on getting a CXT Soft V.90 modem working?
[02:59] <roger_> Roger saindo
[02:59] <Wabs> Hi, i'm trying to configure my USB wireless card for Ubuntu 6.06 and I was wondering if I could get some help?
[02:59] <Rehinold> EnsignRedshirt: in repos there are only newer versiobs
[03:00] <georgy> tainted : sorry, watch /etc/inittab
[03:00] <Cymage> wabs, what chipset?
[03:00] <sethk> Max_-, normally it will figure out the PCI bus identifier also.  I wonder why it didn't?  or are you just verifying that it did?
[03:00] <illusina> hi...I'm getting all sorts of interesting apt-get errors regarding dependencies for simple packages after I tried to do a dist-upgrade which semi-failed
[03:00] <Wabs> It's a Buffalo AirStation G54
[03:00] <tonyyarusso> whosit: Conexant chipset softmodems work with the linuxant drivers ($20).
[03:00] <mluser-work> Does anyone know of a ubuntu repository where I can get skype?
[03:00] <sethk> illusina, semi-failed?  isn't that like being a little bit pregant?
[03:00] <whosit> Not worth it
[03:00] <EnsignRedshirt> Rehinold: Hmmm... I don't know what to suggest then.
[03:00] <Isaiah121> girls just wanna have fun
[03:00] <whosit> Id rather use external for free :)
[03:01] <Cymage> wabs, prolly have to use ndiswrapper
[03:01] <illusina> sethk: well, I'm not sure if apt-get is transaction sensitive...I'm not sure whether the packages which were successful were commited or not
[03:01] <Wabs> How do I use that, Cymage?
[03:01] <Rehinold> EnsignRedshirt: maybe not installing xvidcap from deb apt
[03:01] <sethk> illusina, hard to say, but you can't assume very much.
[03:01] <Cymage> wabs, is it detecting the card now?
[03:01] <sethk> illusina, you've tried the "fix" options in synaptic?
[03:01] <Rehinold> EnsignRedshirt: it seems a problem of those pkg
[03:01] <illusina> sethk: was using command line
[03:01] <tonyyarusso> !skype
[03:01] <ubotu> To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto
[03:02] <mluser-work> thx
[03:02] <sethk> illusina, you can do them at the command line also with dpkg
[03:02] <Wabs> Cymage: How would I check?
[03:02] <Max_-> sethk, well I was doing the dpkg-reconfig thing... and it asked these things.. I was just verifying that everything it does it correct...
[03:02] <illusina> sethk: do man dpkg ?
[03:02] <Isaiah121> this place is a sausage fest
[03:02] <Desire> hi
[03:02] <Cymage> wabs, run lspci in terminal
[03:02] <eXey> hmm lol , i just downloaded ubuntu-6.06.1-desktop-i386 but is it says opencd and disctree so wtf :S

[03:03] <Wabs> Cymage: Do you want what comes up?
[03:03] <Rehinold> EnsignRedshirt: :(
[03:03] <eXey> some1 good @ubuntu message me plz

[03:03] <Wabs> I don't see anything pertaining to my USB wireless card though :\
[03:03] <Cymage> wabs, join ##cymage
[03:03] <Isaiah121> does anyone know how to fix this?
[03:04] <sethk> illusina, yes, give man dpkg a try.
[03:04] <sethk> illusina, sorry about the slow response, I'm working at the same time as being here.  :)
[03:04] <viator> exey whatta yo mean
[03:04] <bimberi> eXey: the cd includes a cut-down version of TheOpenCD with a few windows versions of applications on it
[03:04] <eXey> so if i burn it and boot from it
[03:04] <eXey> i install ubunti
[03:04] <eXey> not a fucking livecd?
[03:04] <viator> did you burn the iso to disk as an image
[03:05] <viator> not as a file
[03:05] <EnsignRedshirt> Rehinold: Maybe try the deb file from the sourceforge site: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=81535
[03:05] <eXey> i mounted to file in windows with deamon tools
[03:05] <viator> itis a live cd
[03:05] <cartufer> does ubuntu come with a vnc client?
[03:05] <Rehinold> EnsignRedshirt: i'm trying :P
[03:05] <eXey> and now i am going to burn it
[03:05] <blind> Is there a repo down or something? trying to apt-get nvidia-glx-legacy gets a 404.
[03:05] <Asc> How might one *uninstall* flash player?
[03:05] <viator> once you boot to it you install
[03:05] <bimberi> eXey: language unecessary.  it is a liveCD that can also be installed from
[03:05] <viator> from a desktop icon
[03:05] <eXey> good
[03:05] <eXey> thx
[03:05] <DBO> eXey, less on the swearing next time please =)
[03:05] <eXey> where did i swear :S
[03:06] <keescook> cartufer: yeah, a few I think.  Try "apt-cache search vnc".  I've used xnvcviewer
[03:06] <eXey> oh :P
[03:06] <eXey> sry
[03:06] <chronic1> what is the normal method for installing perl modules in ubuntu -- do you all recomend CPAN?
[03:06] <chronic1> or are their deb installs?
[03:06] <gbutler> OK...finally up on Edgy Eft! Yay!
[03:06] <BIRDSIX> How do I burn an iso to a disc using UBUNTU?
[03:06] <cartufer> ya but i'm in live cd and if i load in too much i freeze
[03:06] <Rehinold> EnsignRedshirt: alright it works :)
[03:06] <EnsignRedshirt> chronic1: First check the ubuntu repostories
[03:06] <tonyyarusso> BIRDSIX: Right-click.
[03:06] <EnsignRedshirt> Rehinold: Cool.
[03:06] <georgy> BIRDSIX, : graveman
[03:06] <Madpilot> BIRDSIX, just find the ISO and put right-click on it, choose Burn To Disc
[03:07] <BIRDSIX> Thank you
[03:07] <dragonfire1> ubotu thanks I will read those areas
[03:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about thanks I will read those areas - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:07] <eXey> Hey, i got on hd on 30gb with windows and shit , and another 1 @ 160gb can i install ubuntu the one @ 160 and get everything to work? :P
[03:07] <viator> if you want more control when burining cd's try gnomebaker
[03:07] <keescook> cartufer: oooh, yeah, not sure about that.
[03:07] <viator> or maybe k3b
[03:08] <cartufer> keescook, i'd use the vnc java client but java firefox extension takes like 56 megs
[03:08] <georgy> eXey, : you can do that
[03:08] <Code-E> How do I use xfce?
[03:08] <eXey> good, cause my friend did that with redhat, and it messed up
[03:08] <docmur> hello all
[03:09] <eXey> hellu
[03:09] <Code-E> Does anybody know how to run xfce?
[03:09] <docmur> is there a software for linux that allows me to block web sites
[03:09] <TTT_Travis> Hi, I am using Ubuntu Server, I want to hibernate but it says I don't have the kernel modules needed to do it, is there a way I can just get them easily or use the normal ubuntu kernel
[03:09] <viator> redhat ppl use that?
[03:09] <viator> lol
[03:09] <forevertheuni__> docmur, iptables ihihiih
[03:09] <pppoe_dude> hrello
[03:10] <georgy> eXey : I don't redhat, but i know ubuntu can do it
[03:10] <eXey> ^^
[03:10] <docmur> do I have to know the ip of the site to use it
[03:10] <EnsignRedshirt> Rehinold: Just FYI: I don't know what you are planning to do with xvidcap, but an alternative to making "videos" is making flash demos with vnc2swf or pyvnc2swf.
[03:10] <Arrick> guys, what would be the smallest drivve that should be used for the default install of ubuntu breezy?
[03:10] <viator> doc what do you measn block websites?
[03:10] <eXey> what does "FYI" mean?
[03:10] <BIRDSIX> Is anyone here A+ certified?
[03:11] <dmb> for your information
[03:11] <Arrick> yes I am
[03:11] <Rehinold> EnsignRedshirt: I would like to make a video with xgl running to show it to a friend
[03:11] <pppoe_dude> there was this command to change the default java interpreter... from gnu's to sun's... any ideas?
[03:11] <Arrick> BIRDSIX,
[03:11] <viator> like keep someone looking at  say myspace.com
[03:11] <Arrick> yes
[03:11] <EnsignRedshirt> eXey: For Your Information, fyi
[03:11] <wenko> i am
[03:11] <eXey> oh :P
[03:11] <docmur> I want to prevent access to a certian page so when someone tries to connect to it they can't
[03:11] <BIRDSIX> arrick, I was just wondering because im bored and I get mine in december. :)
[03:11] <Arrick> haha
[03:11] <viator> if you have a router your better of going that route
[03:11] <BIRDSIX> arrick, Do you work anywhere?
[03:11] <Arrick> yeah, all over
[03:11] <Rehinold> brb ^^
[03:12] <Arrick> just finished a contract job with a School district
[03:12] <BIRDSIX> arrick, you do a lot of projects?
[03:12] <Arrick> yes
[03:12] <`m0> hi, if I deleted the icon for Network-Manager-gnome, from the bar how do I readd it?
[03:12] <BIRDSIX> arrick, Thats what im planning on doing once I get all my certifications
[03:12] <illusina> OSS + GOVT ftw
[03:12] <Trae> On my wifes Ubuntu Desktop, when she hits shift+backspace,  X dies
[03:12] <`m0> I am using http://www.gnome.org/projects/NetworkManager/
[03:12] <Trae> wtf is up with that?
[03:12] <viator> set up a hosts file
[03:12] <Flannel> Trae: Xgl?
[03:13] <Arrick> but then, I also have a cna, and an associatess degree as well, working on a bachelors in network security BIRDSIX
[03:13] <Trae> I do it here and it doesn't happen
[03:13] <Trae> Flannel, howdy... she's not running compiz
[03:13] <tristanmike_> Hello, how do I get firefox to recoginze my java, I have "sun-java5-bin" installed from the repos. thanx in advance.
[03:13] <BIRDSIX> Im getting my COMP TIA   PNIE MOS MOUSE AND A+ this year
[03:13] <Trae> butmaybe she has xgl built in to the xserver
[03:13] <BIRDSIX> Im going to a high school that has a Information Technology academy.
[03:13] <eXey> what program to whine games that dont cost money can you give links to ^^
[03:13] <Trae> xgl has been nothing but  a PITA
[03:13] <Trae> IMHO
[03:13] <georgy> Trae : i think she ctrl+alt+backspace
[03:13] <viator> make an /etc/hosts file
[03:13] <Trae> georgy, nope
[03:13] <Flannel> Trae: not unless she tweaked it, should be ctrl-alt-backspace to restart, but in XGL, shift backspace does it too
[03:13] <viator> enter the site you wanna block
[03:14] <neom> Is there a LiveCD version of ubuntu that will work on my macbook?
[03:14] <neom> (intel)
[03:14] <Flannel> neom: yes, the 386 Desktop ISOs
[03:14] <Arrick> get it while you can, because it gets expensive after you're out of highschool
[03:14] <viator> like 127.0.0.1 www.myspace.com
[03:14] <Trae> Flannel, yeah, sucks when you are editing an email and hit backspace to clear out a word and then you hit shift to capitalize... and X goes POOF
[03:14] <viator> and then fire up your browser and it should be blocked
[03:14] <Flannel> Trae: right, well, shift backspace shouldn't restart it unless she has XGL, or otherwise changed something to do that
[03:14] <BIRDSIX> Arrick, How much do you make on a average project and how long does it take to complete?
[03:15] <Trae> Flannel, that's probably it then.
[03:15] <Trae> Flannel, danke bud.  Gives me something to look at
[03:15] <Trae> Flannel++
[03:15] <Flannel> Trae: she can disable it, #ubuntu-xgl will know more about it
[03:15] <viator> docmur get that?
[03:15] <Trae> yessir
[03:15] <VR_> hey all, how do i download multiple JPEGS from a directory with wget? i can't figure out it out!
[03:15] <VR_> ergh -out
[03:15] <Arrick> BIRDSIX, depends on the project, if its just admin, 20g for 6 months, if it involves more tha that much more
[03:15] <VR_> =D
[03:15] <docmur> yes thanks
[03:16] <BIRDSIX> Arrick, What does it mean when my computer boots and it says "Diskette drive 0 error"?
[03:16] <BIRDSIX> I have tryed almost everything I can think of and I cant fix that problem
[03:16] <Arrick> bad primary HD, or corrupted mbr
[03:17] <Arrick> mbr is master boot record
[03:17] <neom> Thanks Flannel.
[03:17] <BIRDSIX> arrick, ok thanks.
[03:17] <eXey> now i am rebooting and installing ubuntu ^^
[03:17] <eXey> kisses and hugs
[03:17] <david> does anyone know of any programs that make dvds out of mpg or avi files?
[03:18] <georgy> david : kviso
[03:18] <BIRDSIX> Does anyone in here use Back-Track?
[03:18] <Asc> Diskette?  Sounds more like a floppy drive problem, but I'm no expert.
[03:18] <tristanmike_> Hello, how do I get Firefox, or Mozilla for that matter, to recoginze my java, I have "sun-java5-bin" installed from the repos in Dapper. thanx in advance.
[03:18] <david> can i get that with the package manager?
[03:18] <orion_> has anyone ever used supybot?
[03:19] <Flannel> tristanmike_: you need the mozilla plugin,
[03:19] <Flannel> !tell tristanmike_ about java
[03:19] <Isaiah121> how do i setup a proxy?
[03:19] <georgy> david  : no , you have to download it on freshmeat
[03:19] <Isaiah121> i have privoxy and tor installed
[03:19] <david> k, thanks
[03:19] <orion_> Isaiah121, you mean in a browser?
[03:20] <orion_> or chat?
[03:20] <Isaiah121> for everything
[03:20] <Isaiah121> both
[03:20] <Buddhist_> Can someone help me out? I'm trying to configure my USB wireless card for Ubuntu 6.06 and I was wondering if I could get some help?
[03:20] <Buddhist_> It's a Buffalo AirStation G54
[03:20] <`m0> did anyone install this : http://www.gnome.org/projects/NetworkManager/
[03:20] <orion_> well you can use irssi with tor by using-> torify irssi or even in ssh by-> torify ssh
[03:20] <orion_> in terminal
[03:20] <Isaiah121> is there a faq on this orion_ ?
[03:20] <Buddhist_> I was doing the whole synaptics & repositories thing, and Cymage told me to enable the CDROM in repositories, but the CD won't read
[03:21] <orion_> there is a howto for firefox in the forums
[03:21] <Code-E> !bin
[03:21] <Buddhist_> SO I COULD REALLY USE SOME HELP ;_;
[03:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bin - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:21] <Code-E> damn
[03:21] <orion_> i am not sure
[03:21] <Code-E> how do you install bin files
[03:21] <orion_> im sure there is
[03:21] <Isaiah121> how do i set it up>?
[03:21] <Flannel> Buddhist_: you shouldn't need the cDRom repository, unless you have no internet on that machine
[03:21] <orion_> one minute
[03:21] <EnsignRedshirt> Code-E: Usually, you run them.
[03:21] <Code-E> Well how?
[03:21] <Buddhist_> Flannel: ...that's the problem, i'm trying to configure my USB Wireless Card so I can access the internet
[03:22] <Buddhist_> I can't access it as of this moment.
[03:22] <EnsignRedshirt> Code-E: In the directory where the file was saved, give the command:  ./file.bin
[03:22] <bimberi> `m0: yes i use network manager
[03:22] <Code-E> ok
[03:22] <Buddhist_> But I can't get my laptop's CD drive to read the Ubuntu disc so I can't set the CDROM as a repository
[03:22] <Arrick> hey guys, dont you hate it when someone pm's you without asking first?
[03:22] <EnsignRedshirt> Code-E: You might have to make it executable first: chmod u+x file.bin
[03:22] <Flannel> Buddhist_: Is this an alternate ISO? or a Desktop ISO?
[03:22] <`m0> bimberi: do you disable the default network manager?
[03:23] <xgl2940> hallo, i am in recovery mode. how can i go to my usb hdd dir?
[03:23] <bimberi> `m0: i've usually set it up as described here ...
[03:23] <bimberi> ubotu tell `m0 about networkmanager
[03:23] <Buddhist_> Flannel: The CDROM? It's a Ubuntu Live CD for Dapper Drake
[03:23] <Buddhist_> I got it off the torrent from Ubuntu's site.
[03:23] <Flannel> Buddhist_: then it can't be used as a repository, it needs to be the Alternate ISO
[03:23] <orion_> here you go http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=95527&highlight=firefox+anonymous
[03:23] <Code-E> cody@cody-desktop:~/Desktop$ ./jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin
[03:23] <Code-E> bash: ./jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin: Permission denied
[03:24] <Buddhist_> wtf
[03:24] <Isaiah121> thanks orion_
[03:24] <Buddhist_> where do i get the alternate iso
[03:24] <Flannel> Code-E: what's wrong with the java in the repository?
[03:24] <orion_> code-e change permissions
[03:24] <orion_> chmode +x I think
[03:24] <Flannel> Buddhist_: same place as the desktop ISO
[03:24] <Buddhist_> link pleasE?
[03:24] <orion_> chmod
[03:24] <Flannel> Buddhist_: ubuntu.com/download
[03:24] <Code-E> orion how?
[03:24] <tristanmike> Flannel: thank you very much, I of course was at the doc site, but of course I missed the part where it said to install the "plugins" d'oh, thanx for making me look again :D
[03:24] <Flannel> tristanmike: no problem
[03:24] <orion_> sudo chmod a+x file.bin
[03:24] <orion_> then ./file.bin
[03:25] <Flannel> Code-E: what's wrong with the java in the repositories?
[03:25] <`m0> bimberi: it was working, but when I placed my ethernet on instead of my wireless, I went to the default network manager, and enabeld ethernet. And now I rebooted, and I don't see the network manager gnome icon on the panel
[03:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Buddhist_: You want a server install or having trouble with the livecd
[03:25] <Code-E> Flannel: its corrupt
[03:25] <Flannel> Code-E: corrupt?
[03:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Dosent sound right
[03:25] <Code-E> yea
[03:25] <Flannel> Code-E: change your mirror and try again
[03:25] <Code-E> dont wanna install for me Flannel
[03:25] <Flannel> Code-E: what error do you get
[03:26] <bimberi> `m0: is the applet running?  'ps aux | grep nm-applet'
[03:26] <Buddhist_> Jack_Sparrow: I'm having trouble getting the Live CD to be read in my CDROM drive, so I can't set it as a repoisitory in repositiories, so i can't get the ndiswrap drivers from Synaptics, so I can't get my Buffalo AirStation G54 to be configured to access the internet
[03:26] <Code-E> that its corrupt and cannot download
[03:26] <Code-E> oh well
[03:26] <Flannel> Code-E: change your mirror and try again
[03:26] <`m0> bimberi: yes, i checked that it is running
[03:26] <Arrick> bimberi, long time no see
[03:26] <Arrick> hello
[03:26] <Code-E> Flannel: t'is ok its installed
[03:26] <xgl2940> hello, how can i go to my USB HDD dir?
[03:26] <bimberi> hi Arrick :)
[03:26] <bimberi> `m0: hmm
[03:26] <Buddhist_> anything I can do, Jack_Sparrow?
[03:27] <Flannel> Buddhist_: the LiveCD can't be used as a repository, you'll need to download the AlternateISO, OR simply download the ndiswrapper deb from packages.ubuntu.com, then sneakernet it over, and install via dpkg
[03:27] <Code-E> !frostwire
[03:27] <Arrick> bimberi, you ever use fiaif firewall?
[03:27] <ubotu> frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[03:27] <Arrick> on breezy?
[03:27] <bimberi> Arrick: nope
[03:27] <Arrick> ok
[03:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Buddhist_: cant you get ndiswrapper and get it into your computer another way.. If it will run live you should be able to get ndiswrapper
[03:27] <Sircean> Hi, I'm thinking of trying out Linux for the very first time, but would like to ask a question first please. Is there any way to disable the case sensitivity of the file system and have it work as "case preserving" like Windows? (done a quick Google search but not having much luck)
[03:27] <paul___> !w32codecs
[03:27] <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
[03:27] <Code-E> Have any of you used this xfce
[03:27] <Code-E> its nice
[03:27] <Buddhist_> What the hell is sneakernet?
[03:28] <Code-E> purty
[03:28] <Code-E> :D
[03:28] <bimberi> `m0: perhaps try restarting the applet (sorry, really not sure what's wrong)
[03:28] <KromiX> hey guys i have a ubuntu install question
[03:28] <xgl2940> i am helpless...
[03:28] <Phoul> quesiton, im updating dapper just basic updates but it says theres new packages to be installed and they are : The following NEW packages will be installed:
[03:28] <Phoul>   linux-image-2.6.15-27-386 linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-27-386 is that normal that they would be kept back until you do a dist-upgrade?
[03:28] <SunDragon> Sircean: I believe linux supports case preserving on FAT
[03:28] <Arrick> Buddhist_, running back and foth between the two computers is sneakernet
[03:28] <Flannel> Buddhist_: download it to a floppy, usbdrive, etc, and walk it over (on your sneakers), plug it in, copy again
[03:28] <Buddhist_> lolol, i gotcha
[03:28] <viator> maybe doesnt have a rj45 port
[03:28] <Buddhist_> I like that term
[03:28] <`m0> bimberi: the applet will show in the notification area, correct?
[03:28] <dooglus> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sneakernet
[03:28] <Code-E> PIE!!
[03:28] <Buddhist_> Where would ndiswrapper be under, Network Tools?
[03:28] <Phoul> anyone?
[03:28] <xgl2940> S.O.S
[03:28] <bimberi> `m0: yes
[03:28] <xgl2940> HELP
[03:29] <Flannel> Buddhist_: just search for it, but probably
[03:29] <Buddhist_> err, Network Packages
[03:29] <bimberi> `m0: the icon is like a pair of monitors
[03:29] <KromiX> This is my first time trying to install ubuntu on my 2nd box and it goes to the loading screen and does all those [OK] 's then it loads a rectangular box that says Ubuntu and shows Windom Manager, then it disapears and I see 2 white bars on the top and bottom part of the screen with a brown background but nothing happens...... Any suggestions/Ideas what this means i really wanna try out Ubuntu ;\
[03:29] <`m0> hmm i am doing this: killall nm-applet
[03:29] <`m0> it says no such process
[03:29] <xgl2940> I NEED HELP
[03:29] <KromiX> the CD Drive keeps blinking but doesnt seem like anything happens....
[03:29] <Arrick> not enough memory would be my guess KromiX
[03:29] <Phoul> -_- anyone at all?
[03:29] <xgl2940> help
[03:29] <kamui> anyone know anything about linux software that could help me learn statistics?
[03:29] <xgl2940> help
[03:29] <Arrick> !ask
[03:29] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:30] <KromiX> whats the minimum memory for Ubuntu?
[03:30] <Sircean> Thanks SunDragon. Is there anything I would need to do to activate this? and does it mean that case preevring is not possible at all under Ubuntu's native FS?
[03:30] <xgl2940> help
[03:30] <Arrick> !just ask
[03:30] <Phoul>   linux-image-2.6.15-27-386 linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-27-386 is that normal that they would be kept back until you do a dist-upgrade?
[03:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about just ask - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:30] <Phoul> quesiton, im updating dapper just basic updates but it says theres new packages to be installed and they are : The following NEW packages will be installed:
[03:30] <xgl2940> help
[03:30] <Phoul>   linux-image-2.6.15-27-386 linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-27-386 is that normal that they would be kept back until you do a dist-upgrade?
[03:30] <Wabs> Where would ndiswrapper be under, Network Tools?
[03:30] <sethk> Phoul, yes, that could well be normal
[03:30] <Wabs> err, Network Packages
[03:30] <xgl2940> help
[03:30] <Wabs> ?
[03:30] <KromiX> ?
[03:30] <kamui> It seems unlikely that anything like that would be available, but I'd be very interested in any statistics related software even
[03:30] <xgl2940> help
[03:30] <Phoul> Well im wondering if updating will fix it
[03:30] <Phoul> err
[03:30] <xgl2940> help
[03:30] <Phoul> fix == break
[03:30] <Phoul> i dont wanna break my system
[03:30] <xgl2940> help
[03:30] <sethk> Phoul, you don't?  :)
[03:30] <Phoul> lol
[03:30] <Jack_Sparrow> KromiX: someone said 192 is absolute min
[03:30] <Phoul> Moreso now then usual
[03:30] <Omnifarious> Does anybody know if the D-Link DGE-530T Ethernet card works with the newest Dapper kernel?
[03:31] <sethk> Phoul, my rule is, don't upgrade just because an upgrade is available.  upgrade because you need to for some reason.
[03:31] <EnsignRedshirt> kamui:  For *learning* stats, you would probably be better off with a good book.  For *doing* stats, you can use R.
[03:31] <Jack_Sparrow> 265 is what the wiki says
[03:31] <`m0> bimberi: ah now it worked, strange why it worked now
[03:31] <`m0> bimberi: thanks
[03:31] <Phoul> sethk, would it break something to upgrade just a single app?
[03:31] <KromiX> oh i guess thats my issue, I'm running 128MB DDR PC3200, I was thinking thats enough, I can run windows Xp profession on that but not ubuntu? ;\
[03:31] <Omnifarious> PCI ID 4b01
[03:31] <georgy> 192 with alternate cd
[03:31] <`m0> bimberi: what do I do to the default network manager?
[03:31] <kamui> EnsignRedshirt: where can I get R?  is it in the apt tree?
[03:31] <Wabs> Where is ndiswrapper on packages.ubuntu.com?
[03:31] <KromiX> i would think xp pro would require more memory then ubuntu
[03:32] <sethk> Phoul, ordinarily, no.  if you use synaptic, you'll see what will be updated due to dependencies before you pull the switch
[03:32] <Arrick> Seveas, how are you?
[03:32] <tallgeese> hey all
[03:32] <SunDragon> Sircean: unfortunately, I've never used ubuntu, but you'd want to make a fat32 partition for /home.  I haven't used linux since 1999, so there may be better alternatives.
[03:32] <KromiX> i guess i have to steal another stick from my 3rd box
[03:32] <bimberi> `m0: do you mean the one via Sys -> Admin -> Networking?  I've left it alone
[03:32] <Wabs> anyone?
[03:32] <KromiX> lol
[03:32] <Jack_Sparrow> KromiX: check the specs for xbuntu
[03:32] <Flannel> Wabs: Buddhist_: http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/misc/ndiswrapper-utils
[03:32] <Wabs> Thanks Flannel :)
[03:32] <KromiX> i never listen to 'minumum requirements' :P
[03:33] <Sircean> Thx SunDragon
[03:33] <KromiX> and didnt think twice cause xp pro runs on it
[03:33] <Flannel> KromiX: installer, not the system itself.
[03:33] <hockyhair> does anyone know about installing flashfxp 3.x for use with wine
[03:33] <Sircean> !ask
[03:33] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:33] <KromiX> oh
[03:33] <Flannel> KromiX: since it's a liveCD, it requires more memory, to not be reading from the CD (read: slow) all the time
[03:34] <viator> i run ubuntu on a p2 450 with 128mb it runs
[03:34] <Flannel> KromiX: which is why the alternate ISO requires signifigantly less
[03:34] <viator> but slow
[03:34] <KromiX> where do i get the alternate?
[03:34] <axa-axa> Hi, can someone please tell me how can I use "unscalled" fonts like "Helvetica" in ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake (Gnome)?
[03:34] <viator> just like xp on the same box
[03:34] <KromiX> [21:34:00]  <viator> i run ubuntu on a p2 450 with 128mb it runs ?? I have a AMD 2.7ghz 128MB DDR PC3200 and its not running ;
[03:34] <Jack_Sparrow> KromiX: Borrow a stick.. run the live and pull it if you must after the install
[03:34] <georgy> Kromix : alternate cd is without graphic installer
[03:34] <Arrick> KromiX, you can download it, or you can have it shipped to you
[03:35] <KromiX> ya ill just borrow a stick and take it back
[03:35] <viator> xp came out in what 2001? its 6 years old ubuntu is a current and modern operating system
[03:35] <Asc> I'd be surprised if you couldn't run Ubuntu and Gnome on 64 MB.  Probably the liveCD wouldn't work though
[03:35] <KromiX> viator: u installed with on ur p2 450 with 128mb from the live cd no problems?
[03:35] <viator> yes live cd
[03:35] <KromiX> hrm
[03:35] <KromiX> dubayu tee f
[03:35] <viator> it was actually dapper flight5
[03:35] <EnsignRedshirt> kamui: The base packages for R appear to be r-base and r-base-core.  There are *many* additional add-on packages.
[03:35] <viator> but its updated ofcourse
[03:35] <KromiX> ooo maybe i can do that
[03:36] <Asc> Ack.  Just use alternate install
[03:36] <KromiX> install an older version
[03:36] <Code-E> ugh the java didn't install
[03:36] <viator> now most of the time its a xfce session
[03:36] <Code-E> how do install the one in repositories?
[03:36] <KromiX> is the alternate install dificult? (keep in mind my first ubuntu install)
[03:36] <KromiX> ?
[03:36] <Flannel> KromiX: just get the alternate ISO ;)
[03:36] <viator> but my sister logs into gnome
[03:36] <Flannel> KromiX: no, it's not.  It just doesn't have a pretty interface
[03:36] <Asc> Kromix: it's easier than installing win2k
[03:36] <lupine_85> it's urine easy
[03:36] <kamui> EnsignRedshirt: thanks
[03:36] <Arrick> KromiX, very easy to install
[03:36] <Spottyfox> Hi, all. I seem to have lost my ability to shut down or reboot from the menu a few updates ago.
[03:36] <EnsignRedshirt> kamui: You might want to take a look here first to learn more about R: http://www.r-project.org/
[03:36] <KromiX> screw the interface lol
[03:36] <axa-axa> Hi, can someone please tell me how can I use "unscalled" fonts like "Helvetica" in ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake (Gnome)?
[03:36] <Flannel> !tell Code-E about java
[03:36] <Wabs> Flannel: Do I just get ndiswrapper-source, or all three?
[03:36] <Arrick> put the cd in, boot and go with it, just use defaults, except username and password
[03:37] <Jack_Sparrow> I need to start cooking dinner for the wife, goodnight all...
[03:37] <Arrick> haha
[03:37] <Asc> Spotty: if necessary you can 'sudo shutdown -h now' to shutdown
[03:37] <Flannel> Wabs: you don't need the source, perl and libc6 should already be installed
[03:37] <Isaiah_the_Marty> how do i get xchat to use a proxy?
[03:37] <orion_> code-e https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java
[03:37] <KromiX> hrm i cant find the alternate?
[03:37] <KromiX> nevermind
[03:37] <KromiX> found it
[03:37] <Arrick> preferences
[03:37] <Wabs> Flannel: So then which ndiswrapper package do I get there?
[03:37] <Flannel> Wabs: but, I suppose downloading those wouldnt hurt, definately would mitigate any revision problems
[03:37] <Asc> Spotty: and if you can't get the menu working, you might be able to get a launcher icon to execute that
[03:37] <Spottyfox> Asc: Yes, that still works. Any idea how to restore my menus?
[03:37] <Arrick> Isaiah_the_Marty, ^^
[03:37] <Wabs> So, all three then?
[03:37] <SunDragon> heh, the ubuntu wiki is very helpful
[03:38] <Flannel> Wabs: the one you're looking at, ndiswrapper-utils, scroll all the way down and theres a place to download for the various archs
[03:38] <orion_> Isaiah, try this in terminal. torify xchat
[03:38] <SunDragon> it clearly documents something that is not easy to do in debian
[03:38] <Asc> Spotty: not really, I haven't used menus in several months now
[03:38] <KromiX> ok downloading alternate brb going to install it wish me luck so I can make the change from windoZe to ubuntu :)
[03:38] <orion_> but freenode does not allow it I believe
[03:38] <Isaiah_the_Marty> Arrick, i've tried that it doesnt work
[03:38] <Arrick> ok
[03:38] <Isaiah_the_Marty> how do i do that orion_ ?
[03:38] <Max_-> okay, now I'm in trouble...  the X config file is all messed up... I can't even load X... what can I do?
[03:38] <Spottyfox> Asc: It's not a big deal, would just be nice.
[03:38] <SunDragon> i found several documents on debian.org for how to do this task, but they were all incomplete, and some of the irc help i got was just plain misleading
[03:38] <orion_> open terminal first, applications->terminal
[03:38] <Wabs> LOL, OH. okay, wow i'm stupid for missing that
[03:38] <Wabs> ;_;
[03:38] <orion_> then enter: torify xchat
[03:38] <orion_> I know it works with irssi
[03:39] <Spottyfox> Digging the new amaroK :D
[03:39] <SunDragon> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization
[03:39] <Asc> Spotty: try rebooting, maybe that will fix it :)
[03:39] <axa-axa> Hi, can someone please tell me how can I use "unscalled" fonts like "Helvetica" in ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake (Gnome)?
[03:39] <Isaiah_the_Marty> connection failed orion_
[03:39] <fatbrain> I have gnu java compiler installed and I want to install sun jdk, should I remove the gjc first?
[03:39] <Dr_willis> use them where axa-axa ?
[03:39] <Asc> (or just restarting the xserver/gnome session)
[03:39] <fatbrain> gcj*
[03:39] <tallgeese> Really quick queation: can you install the x86 ubuntu on a 64 bit processor?
[03:39] <Arrick> yes
[03:39] <Madpilot> tallgeese, yes
[03:39] <Dr_willis> fatbrain,  no need. you can use 'update-alternatives' to select the one to use by default
[03:40] <Max_-> Any idea on restauring the xorg.conf file?
[03:40] <axa-axa> Dr_willis: I cannot find "Helvetica" in System -> Preferences -> Font
[03:40] <BIRDSIX> Is anyone here familiar with the live linux back-track?
[03:40] <fatbrain> Dr_willis: Thanks
[03:40] <Isaiah_the_Marty> am i supposed to do something else orion_ ?
[03:40] <Isaiah_the_Marty> its not working for irssi either
[03:40] <Dr_willis> axa-axa,  you install the ms fonts yet?
[03:40] <orion_> try this-> torify irssi     then when irssi opens type /connect irc.freenode.net just to see if tor works. freenode will not let you use tor but you can test tor
[03:40] <orion_> hmm
[03:40] <orion_> are you sure tor and privoxy is installed?
[03:40] <Isaiah_the_Marty> yes
[03:40] <Isaiah_the_Marty> connection refused
[03:41] <axa-axa> Dr_willis: msttcorefonts? If yes, then yes I have.
[03:41] <Dr_willis> Hmm - i dont have a Helivacs fonts either.. :P
[03:41] <Isaiah_the_Marty> is there a file i have to edit or something?
[03:41] <TTT_Travis> I am currently running ubuntu-server how can I replace the kernel with the normal ubuntu kernel
[03:41] <KromiX> hey guys one more question for later, i'm installing Ubuntu in a second when the alternate cd download completes but which KDE command install should i use to just install the basic kde 'look' for the desktop enviroment?
[03:41] <orion_> when do you get by entering tor?
[03:41] <KromiX> the kde-core?
[03:41] <Code-E> suprise butt secks
[03:41] <Code-E>  SUPRISE BUTT SECKS!!!
[03:41] <__mikem> !ops
[03:41] <ubotu> Help! Keybuk, mdz, Amaranth, tritium, ajmitch, crimsun, ogra, CarlK, Seveas, Burgundavia, apokryphos, thoreauputic, nalioth, Madpilot, ompaul, rob, Hobbsee, imbrandon, DBO or gnomefreak!
[03:42] <BIRDSIX> Does anyone know where I can download a copy of windows xp pro besides a torrent site?
[03:42] <Isaiah_the_Marty> when?
[03:42] <Spottyfox> Asc: Thanks
[03:42] <Isaiah_the_Marty> it says connection refused
[03:42] <Isaiah_the_Marty> thats all
[03:42] <Max_-> what was the dpkg-reconfigure parameter for reconfiguring xorg.conf???
[03:42] <__mikem> Thanks Hobbsee
[03:42] <KromiX> lol
[03:42] <Hobbsee> :)
[03:42] <Madpilot> BIRDSIX, buy one from Microsoft
[03:42] <viator> Kromix if you want kde why not kubuntu?
[03:42] <tallgeese> Madpilot: thanks. do you know if there would be any compiling problems if I'm running 32 bit ubuntu on a 64 bit cpu, or will it be just like running it on an x86?
[03:42] <BIRDSIX> madpilot, I would rather download it for free instead of pay for it.
[03:42] <Dr_willis> Freefont Serif, Sans and Mono Truetype fonts      -- these fonts are similar to the (in)famous Helvetica, Times and Courier fonts.
[03:43] <axa-axa> Dr_willis: Although I'm not sure, I think that there is "Helvetica" font in /usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi but I cannot see it or use it anywhere in Gnome (like for Desktop fonts).
[03:43] <Dr_willis> in the ttf-freefont package.
[03:43] <Madpilot> tallgeese, AFAIK it will run just fine
[03:43] <EnsignRedshirt> BIRDSIX: XP is not free.
[03:43] <KromiX> i dunno cause i thought ubuntu with the kde-core addon would have more 'support' since its the main ubuntu distro and not a secondary project?
[03:43] <Madpilot> BIRDSIX, piracy is always off-topic here.
[03:43] <Dr_willis> axa-axa,  looks like ttf-freefont has an alternative to it.
[03:43] <viator> you can install kde through synaptic
[03:43] <viator> or the commandline
[03:43] <tallgeese> Madpilot, thanks!
[03:43] <KromiX> i just wanna install whatever and see if i like it
[03:43] <viator> sudo apt-get install kde-desktop
[03:43] <KromiX> so i can get away from windoze
[03:43] <Max_-> what was the dpkg-reconfigure parameter for reconfiguring xorg.conf???
[03:43] <Dr_willis> kubuntu-desktop
[03:44] <viator> whoops
[03:44] <Dr_willis> :)
[03:44] <BIRDSIX> If you get an MSDN account on MSDN.com you can download it for free though right or can you only download beta versions?
[03:44] <viator> yeah thats the ticket!
[03:44] <KromiX> as long as it doesnt hinder video game graphics i'll be on ubuntu ;P
[03:44] <georgy> Max_- : xserver-xorg
[03:44] <Madpilot> BIRDSIX, I have no idea, and this is not a Windows support channel.
[03:44] <Arrick> WOW, ubuntu breezy took up a whole 3 gig HD, and quit installing?
[03:44] <Arrick> I didnt think it was that big
[03:44] <Max_-> georgy, thanks a lot
[03:44] <georgy> Max_-, : np
[03:45] <SunDragon> "
[03:45] <fatbrain> Dr_willis: The JDK I just installed doesn't show up in the update-alternatives, any suggestions?
[03:45] <SunDragon> It's a bit of a pain to learn, but once you know it it's no more difficult to use than any other formatted output, and because it's a DTP package, the output is a class above what people expect from quick'n'dirty Perl scripts."
[03:45] <gbutler> Eeewww! What happened to fonts for Epiphany/Firefox on Edgy Eft? Looks horrible!
[03:45] <SunDragon> this is said of LaTeX
[03:45] <axa-axa> Dr_willis: Can you tell me how to change this? I wanted to put some unscalled (not antialiased) fonts for Desktop fonts for example, because antialiased fonts if they are small look blured, but every font in System->Preferences->Font is antialiased.
[03:45] <Dr_willis> fatbrain,  read the !java url the bot givs
[03:45] <SunDragon> what is a DTP package?
[03:45] <Dr_willis> !java
[03:45] <ubotu> To install a java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the Multiverse repository
[03:45] <Dr_willis> axa-axa,  you can disable the anti-aliasing of the smaller scale fonts.
[03:46] <Madpilot> SunDragon, DTP = Desktop Publishing
[03:46] <KrakensDen> I want to install a printer that I'm connect to through my non-primary network interface
[03:46] <KrakensDen> does that make sense?
[03:46] <KrakensDen> anyway, I can ping the printer
[03:46] <fatbrain> !java
[03:46] <KrakensDen> I know it works with Linux
[03:46] <ubotu> To install a java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the Multiverse repository
[03:46] <fatbrain> Thanks
[03:46] <KrakensDen> but I can't seem to install it via cups or the GNOME dialog
[03:46] <SunDragon> Madpilot: thanks, a new acronym to me
[03:46] <`m0> hi when I run nm-applet
[03:46] <axa-axa> Dr_willis: How can I do that and will it look like fonts in Windows?
[03:47] <Dr_willis> axa-axa,  no idea. i dont worry about the fonts in windows much.
[03:47] <`m0> when I run nm-applet, the icon appears, but whne I close the terminal.. the icon closes
[03:47] <dave_> does anyone know the comman to fix my display on my monitor
[03:47] <viator> if your printers drivers installed
[03:47] <`m0> how can I keep the icon visisble
[03:47] <viator> and set it to use static ip
[03:47] <Dr_willis> axa-axa,   tjeres also some other tweaks you can do to the font server and how it does the aliasing. but i never can tell the diff.
[03:47] <viator> then set it up using ipp
[03:47] <georgy> axa-axa : try to install msttcorefonts
[03:48] <axa-axa> Dr_willis: tjeres?
[03:48] <Max_-> what can I do if I get the "no screen found" thing at startx???  ... heeeelp :(
[03:48] <GhostFreeman> ok
[03:48] <GhostFreeman> trying to reinstall Ubuntu here
[03:48] <tonyyarusso> Which would be better/more linux-friendly: Integrated Intel 845G graphics card, or ATI rage 128?
[03:48] <Isaiah_the_Marty> does anyone have a list of free proxies on hand i can use for irc?
[03:48] <GhostFreeman> and it won't mount either partition
[03:48] <georgy> Max_ : what's the error message
[03:48] <axa-axa> georgy: Yes I have msttcorefonts installed.
[03:49] <Dr_willis> Isaiah_the_Marty,  you can use TOR. not sure about others.. or why you would want to bother.
[03:49] <Isaiah_the_Marty> i'm trying to use tor
[03:49] <Isaiah_the_Marty> its not working
[03:49] <Dr_willis> tor is often blocked by freenode wjen a lot of attacks are happening.
[03:49] <Dr_willis> and ircing over tor can get to be laggy
[03:49] <Max_-> georgy  no screen found ...   XIO   fatal IO error 104  connecton reset by peer on X server......
[03:49] <dave_> what is the comman to fix my monitor res
[03:50] <Madpilot> Isaiah_the_Marty, tor is blocked from #ubuntu currently
[03:50] <Arrick> !fixres
[03:50] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type this in a console: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  -  To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[03:50] <Isaiah_the_Marty> not trying to get on #ubuntu with tor
[03:50] <axa-axa> Dr_willis: Can you please tell me, how can I disable antialiasing on smaller fonts, and what are other tweak that could be done to font server?
[03:50] <georgy> Max_ : wath's uour graphic driver
[03:50] <Max_-> georgy : selected ati
[03:50] <Dr_willis> axa-axa,  im sure theres a tab/setting in the fonts setting control panel applet. Using kde at the moment so i cant check.
[03:50] <georgy> Max_ : try vesa
[03:51] <Max_-> georgy : but I think it was suggesting vesa
[03:51] <zack_> im unable to record anything with my microphone, what can i do to fix this?
[03:51] <Dr_willis> axa-axa,  if using a lcd - you may want to twiddle with the hinting/settings as well
[03:51] <Max_-> georgy : okay... that's weird, cuz that's a radeon I have here....
[03:51] <georgy> Max_ : try it
[03:51] <writingdesk> zack:  Have you checked alsamixer to ensure the mic was unmuted?

[03:51] <`m0> Hello, my wireless connection was previously working, once I placed the ehternet cable , the wireless is not working anymore
[03:51] <Dr_willis> axa-axa,  right there under the 'details' button :P
[03:51] <Isaiah_the_Marty> they accidentally did and havent fixed it yet
[03:52] <Arrick> `m0, perfectly normal, ubuntu likes one or the other
[03:52] <`m0> My Network Manager Gnome doesn't see any wireless, what should I do
[03:52] <`m0> Arrick: what should I do then?

[03:53] <infamouse> hello everyone, i'm wondering where i can find the ubuntu live cd...i've been looking, but i can't seem to find a place where i can download it
[03:53] <Isaiah_the_Marty> well how do i get Tor to work for xchat
[03:53] <axa-axa> Dr_willis: Yes. I found it, but there is no option for disabling aa for smaller fonts while enabling it for larger, there is only choice: Smoothing: None, Grayscale and Subpixel (LCDs) and hinting. Thats all. No Im not using lapton.
[03:54] <writingdesk> zack:  you hitting esc to exit alsamixer?

[03:55] <Isaiah_the_Marty> How do i get Tor to work for xchat
[03:55] <tyler_d> sorry, wireless?
[03:55] <eyequeue> infamouse, i recommend the alternate cd myself, but it should be right i the same directory, along with the server cd
[03:55] <EnsignRedshirt> infamouse: The regular CD is a live CD.
[03:55] <max_> georgy, okay, now I'm in my gnome interface....  but it's now stuck at 85Hz and 1024x768 ... what might be too high as a refresh rate for my LCD and far too low as resolution!... what can I do now?
[03:56] <Madpilot> Isaiah_the_Marty, try #tor for help with it
[03:56] <infamouse> eyequeue, what's different about the alternate cd?
[03:57] <viator> max install the proper drivers for your card
[03:57] <infamouse> EnsignRedshirt, the regular CD is a live CD?  how do i boot into the live version then?
[03:57] <axa-axa> Dr_willis: any advice

[03:57] <GhostFreeman> just put it in, really...
[03:57] <eyequeue> infamouse, more features/programs on it, no need to carry all that live stuff :)  it can handle special installs, rescue tools, you name it
[03:57] <Madpilot> infamouse, for 6.06, the 'Desktop' CD is a liveCD; the 'alternative' CD is the old style text installer
[03:57] <max_> georgy, .. that's what I try to do and everything bugs...
[03:57] <Kyral> Why do people make such a fuss out of the word "Official"
[03:57] <Dr_willis> i dont use gnome.. and aparently the gnome guys decided its too 'complex' for normal users to tweak with.
[03:57] <darkgoth> join #ubuntu-es
[03:57] <zack_> writingdesk, it says my mic is unmuted but when i record i hear nothing on the playback
[03:57] <gilesww> i wish i could have used that installer
[03:58] <georgy> max_ : then i don't know
[03:58] <gilesww> sounded interesting
[03:58] <max_> georgy, last time, I added many resolution ratios.. and they don't even appear now....
[03:58] <Dr_willis> axa-axa,  so there may be some gconf settings to tweak it.. no idea.
[03:58] <eyequeue> infamouse, see what gilesww said :)
[03:58] <gilesww> my nvidia 7800gt corrupts with the standard drivers though

[04:04] <Arrick> `m0, if it aint brok dont fix it, thats what I always go by
[04:04] <GhostFreeman> installer is hung up
[04:04] <usli> yap
[04:04] <ncalpunker> Is there any place to get good themes.
[04:04] <bones> is there an app that will undo the unzipping of a zip file to the filesystem?
[04:04] <GhostFreeman> do I kill it, format and start over?
[04:04] <krazykit> nathanj: art.gnome.org, gnome-look.org
[04:04] <usli> i've installed netbean with j2sdk
[04:05] <krazykit> GhostFreeman: you could also check to make sure the CD is ok
[04:05] <eyequeue> bones, a manual rm of the files
[04:05] <writingdesk> 'mo: if it ain't broke...
[04:05] <krazykit> i think it's a boot option, GhostFreeman
[04:05] <GhostFreeman> the CD is fine
[04:05] <writingdesk> bones: rm
[04:05] <krazykit> GhostFreeman: then i'd just blow away the partitions and try again
[04:05] <GhostFreeman> but i'll kill the installer and try again
[04:05] <bones> but if theres an app that can do the rm for you that would be good
[04:05] <twisted> Hi there - I have a problem where my audio hardware isn't detected, I think
[04:05] <Telroth> anyone here know about the alt+numpad thing in windows for typing funny characters and if there's something similar for X ?
[04:05] <`m0> Arrick: erm I guess so, but it aint zexy anymore :(
[04:06] <eyequeue> bones, you can use the archive manager to see what files were in it
[04:06] <bones> eyequeue: true
[04:06] <gilesww> what ubuntu like for running xen these days?
[04:06] <wickedpuppy> bones, you want app that cope rm ? why ?
[04:06] <eyequeue> bones, but no app for rm really
[04:06] <Arrick> haha
[04:06] <halcyonCorsair> twisted: what sort of audio hardware?
[04:06] <gilesww> it's a big thing for fc6 i was reading
[04:06] <krazykit> Telroth: probably, but i know there's a gnome applet that will put the character in your pastebuffer
[04:06] <twisted> halcyonCorsair, onboard sound, via chipset
[04:06] <bones> wickedpuppy: well wouldnt it be nice
[04:06] <SunDragon> i typically like to install a minimal system and build up from there, and i want to install to lvm on raid.  would i be better off with the server or alternate install CD?
[04:06] <halcyonCorsair> halcyonCorsair: and its all enabled?
[04:06] <crimsun> twisted: cat /proc/asound/cards
[04:07] <Telroth> krazykit, i'm using kde.
[04:07] <halcyonCorsair> twisted: uh, what he said :)
[04:07] <wickedpuppy> bones, rm is nice ... in GUI you can highlight and delete ... anything else you wish for ?
[04:07] <droogy> If you installed a program from source (using make install)
[04:07] <droogy> does it not show up in synaptic?
[04:07] <twisted> crimeboy, halcyonCorsair, no such file or directory
[04:07] <eyequeue> bones, mkdir temp ; cd temp ; unzip foo.zip     safer to use dirs, then you can rm everything in the dir (next time)
[04:07] <Dr_willis> droogy,  no.
[04:07] <SunDragon> droogy: probably not
[04:07] <droogy> k
[04:07] <twisted> oops, bad tab--complete
[04:07] <crimsun> twisted: lspci -v |grep -i audio
[04:07] <droogy> crazy!
[04:07] <droogy> so it won't update.
[04:08] <twisted> crimsun, I get nothing
[04:08] <eyequeue> droogy, make install is to be avoided, build a deb so the package manager knows about it :)
[04:08] <bones> eyequeue: sure but what im saying is if you unzip a tgz for example into the filesystem tree and it throws a whole load of files in there
[04:08] <crimsun> twisted: how old is your computer?
[04:08] <Dr_willis> droogy,  no it will not. :)
[04:08] <bones> it would take a long time to find the files
[04:08] <Flannel> SunDragon: the Alternate (server option)
[04:08] <twisted> crimsun, maybe 3 years
[04:08] <halcyonCorsair> twisted: i'd suggest you check your bios to see if the onboard sound is actually enabled
[04:08] <crimsun> twisted: cpu?
[04:08] <droogy> I'm finding this aspect of ubuntu REALLY frustrating.
[04:08] <twisted> P4-3.0
[04:08] <SunDragon> Flannel: thank you for the advice
[04:08] <eyequeue> bones, definitely to be avoided, and you are stuck with the manual rm, sorry, but there's no simple app for that
[04:09] <bones> now we think hmmm how do write the app or script
[04:09] <Flannel> droogy: er, it wouldn't in ANY distro, because it's not under package management
[04:09] <SunDragon> droogy: unfortunately, i don't think you'll find it much better elsewhere
[04:09] <SunDragon> droogy: however, gentoo or freebsd might be more to your liking
[04:09] <twisted> crimsun, P4 3.0
[04:09] <eyequeue> droogy, it sounds like you might prefer a disro that doesn't use a central package management system
[04:09] <Flannel> droogy: that's the whole point of packages, to keep track of things, and keep them up to date, when you step outside of that, you're stepping outside of the package management
[04:10] <twisted> halcyonCorsair, I think it is enabled, I was running win xp before
[04:10] <droogy> I like package management.
[04:10] <SunDragon> i think slackware + pkgsrc could be a potent combination
[04:10] <droogy> there just needs to be more levels to it.
[04:10] <SunDragon> but slackware isn't so great on the hardware support
[04:10] <droogy> ie. more 'on the edge' version.
[04:10] <Dr_willis> droogy,  being cutting edge can be good and bad. :P
[04:10] <wickedpuppy> droogy, gentoo ?
[04:10] <Flannel> droogy: try debian
[04:10] <wickedpuppy> :P
[04:10] <Dr_willis> droogy,  go try arch linux - the arch users always brag about it.
[04:10] <SunDragon> droogy: if you want to be cut, gentoo's for you
[04:11] <Dr_willis> or gentoo :P
[04:11] <butleR`> does anyone have a definitive guide to installing compiz for a Nvidia based card?
[04:11] <droogy> I don't want to be cutting edge.
[04:11] <bruenig> Dr_willis, don't all users always brag
[04:11] <droogy> just with certain programs.
[04:11] <Dr_willis> butleR`,  there were several wiki pages on it.
[04:11] <eyequeue> droogy, dpkg-buildpackage (or any of it's various front-ends) may be what you are lacking
[04:11] <necroforest> gentoo isn't really cutting edge
[04:11] <droogy> ie. ntfs support and Amarok.
[04:11] <Adept2point0> i was curious about something I saw on the ubuntu home page, "The desktop CD allows you to try Ubuntu without changing your computer at all, and at your option to install it permanently later." can anyone explain that me a bit more?
[04:11] <butleR`> Dr_willis : I've tried a bunch of them but now I'm getting E: Couldn't find package gnome-compiz-manager
[04:12] <Flannel> Adept2point0: it's a liveCD (so you can try it without touching your system) that you can install from
[04:12] <eyequeue> droogy, read the man page to see what this does, but it also may cover your needs "apt-get -b foo" for app named foo, you can build a newer deb
[04:12] <bruenig> Adept2point0, the desktop cd is also a live cd meaning it will boot and run just on your ram without affecting your disk or any other aspect of your computer and then from there you can determine if you want to install it
[04:12] <Dr_willis> !info gnome-compiz-manager
[04:12] <ubotu> Package gnome-compiz-manager does not exist in any distro I know
[04:12] <Adept2point0> and in order to install it i would need to format?
[04:12] <wickedpuppy> droogy, ntfs support is problem on every distro ... if one distro got it right .. you can bet every distro will get it right the next day ... amarok is fine on ubuntu ...
[04:12] <Omnifarious> Where do I find the full .deb file for a package?
[04:12] <georgy> !compiz
[04:12] <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
[04:12] <yarddog> the compiz repos are broke
[04:12] <bruenig> Adept2point0, yeah
[04:12] <Dr_willis> i feel compiz is broke. :P lol
[04:13] <Flannel> Omnifarious: the repositories, or packages.ubuntu.com, if you need to do it outside of apt-get (and it's various frontends)
[04:13] <Flannel> Dr_willis: #ubuntu-xgl
[04:13] <Meglo> How do I find/list all the applications I have installed? A few don't show up in the xfce menu and when I try and run them from the command line they seem to not exist (I don't know the exact name to run them under though)
[04:13] <butleR`> oh well that sucks
[04:13] <eyequeue> Omnifarious, sudo apt-get -d foo, then find foo.deb in /var/cache/apt/archives/
[04:13] <Adept2point0> hmmm, what about installing it on an IDE harddrive?
[04:13] <dave_> how can i get streaming radio on my ubuntu with sites that use wmp
[04:13] <Dr_willis> Flannel,  id rather be in #ubuntu-down-with-xgl :)
[04:13] <Omnifarious> Flannel: Thanks.  I do.  The kernel that comes with Dapper doesn't recognize my Ethernet card.
[04:13] <bruenig> !ide
[04:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ide - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:13] <droogy> can you do a checkinstall?
[04:13] <droogy> ie. sudo make checkinstall
[04:14] <Meglo> Ah
[04:14] <Meglo> Ill try
[04:14] <dave_> streaming radio online
[04:14] <thenetduck> Should I use the drivers from ATI for my ATI Graphics Card or fglrx ??? What is better and what is the difference ???
[04:14] <georgy> dave_ : streamturner

[04:15] <dave_> ok
[04:15] <georgy> dave : streamtuner*
[04:15] <Arrick> if I installed fiaif by typing in "sudo aptitude install fiaif" what would be the command to uninstall it?
[04:15] <grndslm> excuse me, but how do i set my dns server on a static inet connection??  i've tried changing scripts under /etc/network/if-up.d/  AND  /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/
[04:15] <gilesww> is it now supported just with binaries?
[04:15] <sorush20> hi ..
[04:15] <eyequeue> Arrick, dpkg --purge fiaff
[04:16] <eyequeue> Arrick, sudo dpkg --purge fiaif   rather
[04:17] <Omnifarious> Is the Athlon a K7?
[04:17] <Max_-> now my keyboard is messed... if I try to add it in X, it lauches errors...  any way to set the keyboard again
[04:17] <Arrick> eyequeue, logged in as root, it worked
[04:17] <bruenig> !xconfig
[04:17] <ubotu> xconfig is To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[04:17] <grndslm> how do i setup my dns nameserver for a static inet connection in dapper??
[04:18] <droogy> In this case can you reinstall from source over top of a make install using make checkinstall?
[04:18] <mistik1> grndslm, just add "nameserver 0.0.0.0" to /etc/resolv.conf
[04:18] <droogy> or should I remove the program then redo with checkinstall?
[04:18] <mistik1> not the 0.0 IP of course but in that format
[04:18] <grndslm> mistikl, but resolvconf or the resolver, somethin'....changes resolv.conf every time i reboot
[04:19] <kitche> grndslm: dhcp changes it
[04:19] <grndslm> how do i turn that off
[04:19] <eyequeue> droogy, /usr/bin is the exclusive domain of the package manager, so it's probably in /usr/local/bin etc, so i'd say remove first
[04:20] <Meglo> droogy, I guess I installed the checkinstall package but when I do checkinstall from command line it wants to build a default set of packaging documents. It fails the installation because "make install" has "no rule to make target 'install'"
[04:20] <Meglo> I should just go back to tandy.
[04:20] <Meglo> :(
[04:20] <Meglo> It was a joke. In case you were wondering.
[04:21] <link_36p> Anyone know where i could start diagnosing a problem with cdroms not reading disks?
[04:21] <grndslm> how can i turn dhcp off so that resolvconf doesn't erase what i've written in resolv.conf??
[04:21] <supermiguel> does any one know how to set up an easy ftp server?
[04:22] <Arrick> try another computer, or cdrom link_36p
[04:22] <eyequeue> grndslm, doesn't each ifup overwrite that?
[04:22] <Meglo> does any one know how to set up an easy DC hub
[04:22] <grndslm> eyequeue, that's what i thought....but it doesn't work for some reason
[04:22] <eyequeue> grndslm, including static, i thought
[04:22] <link_36p> Arrick > but im trying to fix this computer...
[04:22] <Arrick> yeah, try the cd in another computer or cdrom
[04:22] <eyequeue> grndslm, add what you need to the tail or whatever files, in the *.d/ directory
[04:23] <butleR`> Is there a way to install http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=44934 on gnome?
[04:23] <grndslm> eyequeue, i've tried changing scripts under /etc/network/if-up.d/  AND  /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/
[04:23] <Arrick> if it works in the other comptuer or cdrom, and there is no light coming on when closed, check the wiring on the back of the cdrom inside the case
[04:23] <eyequeue> grndslm, /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/
[04:24] <ajax4> link_36p: Most likely that type of error is a physical problem with the drive and/or discs itself, not with Ubuntu.
[04:24] <grndslm> tried it
[04:24] <Arrick> if the light comes on, but doesnt read, check the flat wide cable and make sure its all the way plugged in, and check the board end as well
[04:24] <eyequeue> grndslm, always seemed to work on my machines, i don't know then
[04:24] <grndslm> eyequeue, did you put it in base or tail
[04:24] <grndslm> it shouldn't matter should it?
[04:25] <ajax4> I'm getting error messages trying to install a package. Could there be an error in the repository?
[04:25] <eyequeue> grndslm, i put the lines i want last in tail, the lines i want at the top in head
[04:26] <eyequeue> ajax4, can you pastebin the errors?
[04:26] <eyequeue> !pastebin > ajax4
[04:26] <ajax4> eyequeue: Ok
[04:26] <ajax4> !pastebin
[04:26] <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)
[04:26] <Phuzion> Is there a good program to burn ISO's with for Ubuntu?
[04:27] <tainted_> where can i specify which services to boot on startup?
[04:27] <GhostFreeman> GnomeBaker
[04:27] <eyequeue> Phuzion, multiple, right click on it with gnome, or use gnomebaker
[04:27] <Omnifarious> What's a .udeb file?

[04:28] <Wabs> okay
[04:28] <Wabs> so i'm installing ndiswrapper
[04:28] <Omnifarious> What is a .udeb file and how does it differ from a .deb file?
[04:28] <Wabs> So after that, what should I do to get my USB Wireless card to work
[04:28] <Wabs> ?
[04:28] <eyequeue> Phuzion, no, it is in universe, need help with repos?
[04:28] <grndslm> eyequeue, i think resolvconf is having trouble because when i restart the resolvconf init script, it spits out an error, then when i restart it one more time, it has no error
[04:29] <Phuzion> eyequeue:  Nah, I'll figure it out
[04:29] <eyequeue> grndslm, yes, that does sound suspicious
[04:29] <Phuzion> Thanks for the offer though
[04:29] <ajax4> eyequeue: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24742
[04:29] <GhostFreeman> how long does it take you guys to configure APT?

[04:29] <Wabs> ;_;
[04:29] <gershon> hey all, do i start nautilus's dekstop only ( without my home folder popping up )
[04:29] <butleR`> can i install a compiz theme without having compiz fully installed?
[04:29] <gershon> how *** ?
[04:29] <Omnifarious> Flannel: What's a .udeb file?
[04:29] <twisted> Thanks for the help, guys. I feel like a complete tool now. The onboard sound was disabled in the BIOS, because I installed a cheapo 5.1 surround card in Korea, which I had totally forgotten about and don't need any more. I reenabled the bios one, removed the card, and while I can't play files over the network, locally is fine. Thanks!
[04:29] <eyequeue> Omnifarious, does ubuntu use those?  or just debian?
[04:30] <eyequeue> Omnifarious, it's a microdeb, not to be used except by the installer, i believe
[04:30] <droogy> meglo: my line was not meant to respond to yoru question.
[04:30] <Omnifarious> eyequeue: Ubuntu seems to, but I don't no.

[04:30] <Omnifarious> That's it.
[04:30] <gershon> 10x!, can i sharpen my question?
[04:31] <dooglus> ?
[04:31] <eyequeue> ajax4, well, it looks like you broke your dapper
[04:31] <eyequeue> ajax4, you installed an edgy library
[04:31] <GhostFreeman> for some odd reason I can't make HTTP queries after this installer hits 82%
[04:31] <ajax4> eyequeue: How did I do that?
[04:31] <eyequeue> ajax4, watch the bot
[04:31] <Wabs> So I installed ndiswrapper-utils, and now that's it's installed, what do I need to do to configure my USB wireless card to access the internet?
[04:31] <gershon> i need a script to toggle my desktop icons on\off , "--set /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop false" kills it "nautilus -n" to show?

[04:32] <omar> How can I read my hotmail in Evolution
[04:32] <omar> I was able to do it with my gmail
[04:32] <omar> but hotmail I just cannot
[04:33] <GhostFreeman> because I can't load up the forums or anything now with this installer
[04:33] <eyequeue> omar, that is a ms product, they wil not have the same features
[04:33] <georgy>  Wabs : try ndisgtk
[04:33] <bimberi> !hotmail
[04:33] <ubotu> If you must use this microsoft product, consider hotway: hotwayd/hotsmtpd are POP3/SMTP-HTTPMail gateway daemons, also works for lycos spray and msn
[04:33] <ajax4> eyequeue: Hmm...I don't remember adding edgy sources, that's the thing.
[04:33] <kitche> umm lol msn is hotmail
[04:33] <GhostFreeman> what the fuck is wrong with my install!
[04:33] <eyequeue> ajax4, did you do anything else nonstandard?

[04:34] <GhostFreeman> 52x
[04:34] <ajax4> eyequeue: Only thing is I have been working (unsuccessfully) with xgl/compiz...that's the only non-official sources I've added.
[04:34] <surgy> whattt is the link to the site with the sources.conf that i can copy/paste ?
[04:34] <GhostFreeman> let me explain

[04:34] <Flannel> GhostFreeman: that's your problem, burn it again at 4x

[04:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about HOw can I do it - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:34] <GhostFreeman> I can't

[04:35] <surgy> thank you
[04:35] <ajax4> eyequeue: Well, they use it cuz its pretty :) Any suggestions on what to do?
[04:35] <Flannel> use that to fix it (first link)
[04:35] <quiet> odd... frostware doesn't look in /usr/bin for java... even after using the ubuntu package...  how to fix?  a sumlink from /usr/bin/java to /opt/java didn't work either.
[04:35] <dooglus> gershon: I'm surprised that asking nautilus not to show the desktop causes it to quit
[04:35] <Wabs> georgy: E: Couldn't find package ndisgtk

[04:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about I will check it there - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:35] <eyequeue> ajax4, maybe someone in #ubuntu-xgl can tell you how to get rid of it
[04:35] <GhostFreeman> I can't use any web pages
[04:35] <Wabs> I can't access the internet from that latptop, georgy, so how am I supposed to install that package?
[04:35] <__mikem> omar ubotu is an irc bot
[04:35] <ajax4> eyequeue: Ok, thanks.
[04:35] <Flannel> GhostFreeman: why not?
[04:35] <GhostFreeman> once this installer hits 82%
[04:35] <supermiguel> how can i make an ftp server secure and easy
[04:35] <eyequeue> ajax4, good luck
[04:35] <GhostFreeman> HTTP Queries just stop
[04:35] <GhostFreeman> I can ping and IRC
[04:35] <drumline_> What makes
[04:35] <GhostFreeman> but I can't load any web pages
[04:35] <drumline_> er...   What makes Ubuntu so popular?
[04:35] <GhostFreeman> I can't get back into Windows either
[04:35] <omar> __mikem: what's that
[04:36] <__mikem> !bot
[04:36] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage
[04:36] <gershon> maybe there's a script like that ?
[04:36] <eyequeue> supermiguel, it is not a secure protocol, you should use sftp perhaps, apt-get install openssh-server
[04:36] <georgy> Wabs : okay, do you have the windriver ?
[04:36] <Flannel> GhostFreeman: so, reboot, and don't start the installer.
[04:36] <Wabs> georgy: I don't know?
[04:36] <dooglus> gershon: it seems that setting that value to 'false' only causes nautilus to exit if there are no other nautilus windows open
[04:36] <GhostFreeman> this dosen't address that I just formatted over my Ubuntu installer
[04:36] <georgy> Wabs : do you have a cd for your card ?
[04:36] <surgy> ok so when i installed ubuntu it had me set up a defual account, but the defualt pw is the same as root, how do i log into my ccount with one pw and into my account as root with another?
[04:36] <GhostFreeman> how will I install it if the system can't make any HTTP calls
[04:36] <Jack_Sparrow> GhostFreeman:   Put this in your browser to see if it is just a dns problem
[04:36] <Jack_Sparrow> 216.239.39.99
[04:37] <dooglus> gershon: and if it does exit, and you leave the value set as 'false', then "nautilus -n" won't do anything - it'll exit straight away.  you need to set it 'true' first
[04:37] <Wabs> georgy: yeah
[04:37] <georgy> Wabs : so you must have the windriver, have a look on the cd
[04:37] <gershon> yeah, noticed... so what u reckon?
[04:37] <GhostFreeman> JackSparrow, that works
[04:37] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[04:37] <GhostFreeman> and now the installer says "scanning the mirror"
[04:38] <GhostFreeman> but its still at 82
[04:38] <Flannel> GhostFreeman: what installer?
[04:38] <GhostFreeman> Ubuntu Live CD
[04:38] <GhostFreeman> Dapper
[04:38] <Flannel> GhostFreeman: so, don't start the installer, go to the webpage, then follow the instructions
[04:38] <GhostFreeman> what webpage?
[04:38] <GhostFreeman> the one for GRUB?
[04:38] <Jay_Levitt> Philosophy question: I'm switching my 6-year-old Mandrake server over to ubuntu.  I know lots of people switch distributions frequently.. how do you deal with bringing all your old subsystem configurations over cleanly?  Or is it just a learned habit?
[04:39] <Max_-> can I uninstall and reinstall X and gnome?.. keeping the applications I installed and files I loaded already?
[04:39] <Flannel> GhostFreeman: right, the recovertingubuntuafterinstallingwindows one
[04:39] <`m0> Hi, I am deleteing an Empty Folder, and it goes to the TRASH .. When I delete or empy the trash it says Error while deleting.... /home/m0/...ipsec.mod" cannot be deleted. you do not have permission to modifgy its parrent folder
[04:39] <GhostFreeman> well what if I can't do that
[04:39] <`m0> I wonder why it says ipsec.mod when I don't have any files inisde that folder
[04:39] <GhostFreeman> what if my dumb ass just nuked Ubuntu? Can I go ahead and restore Grub from the Live CD
[04:39] <Jack_Sparrow> Back to my football game..  Play nice..
[04:39] <GhostFreeman> so I can get back into Windows
[04:39] <Flannel> GhostFreeman: yes.  Read that page for instructions
[04:40] <GhostFreeman> ok
[04:40] <GhostFreeman> let me write that URL down
[04:40] <georgy> Jack_Sparrow : wich game ?
[04:40] <supermiguel> eyequeue: but i want to have something like a web page
[04:40] <surgy> one more thing, i forgot where my sources.list is
[04:41] <Flannel> surgy: /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:41] <dooglus> gershon: here's a shell function that toggles icons:
[04:41] <surgy> can someone tell me?
[04:41] <georgy> surgy : /etc/apt/
[04:41] <dooglus> http://s89213869.onlinehome.us/toggle-icons.txt
[04:41] <dooglus> gershon: copy it into your ~/.bashrc
[04:41] <GhostFreeman> ok, brb
[04:41] <Max_-> can I uninstall and reinstall X and gnome?.. keeping the applications I installed and files I loaded already?  Cuz my keyboard is killing me.. and my refresh rate is burning my monitor
[04:41] <eyequeue> supermiguel, how does that effect ssh/scp/sftp?
[04:41] <georgy> Max_- : yes
[04:41] <FluxD> hello I have a small question I am adding this custom URl to repository list but it says theres something wrong with it "deb http://gandalfn.club.fr/ubuntu dapper"
[04:41] <Max_-> georgy, how can it be done easily?
[04:42] <supermiguel> or at least just go to a web page and have a ssh client
[04:42] <Max_-> I know there was some apt-get commands
[04:42] <supermiguel> with pit installing anything
[04:42] <supermiguel> with out
[04:42] <georgy> Max_ : apt-get remove xserver-xorg ?
[04:42] <Max_-> maybe
[04:42] <Max_-> lets try
[04:42] <Flannel> Max_-: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:42] <FluxD> anyone?
[04:43] <hilary> hey everyone
[04:43] <Max_-> Flannel, already got caught with that... won't do it again, it f/%/cks everything up.. from the keyboard to the resolution and going by the refresh rate...
[04:43] <omar> How can I read my hotmail in Evolution, I still cannot do it
[04:43] <Flannel> Max_-: no, that's the way to do it.
[04:43] <Flannel> !tell omar about hotmail
[04:44] <Wabs> georgy: My CD-ROM drive isn't reading the CD Buffalo gave to me with my USB Wireless card.
[04:44] <Wabs> ;_;
[04:44] <sycho> Anyone know why when I install Azureus it also installs mozilla composer and web browser. Furthermore I get an error that won't go away til I reboot the system saying "Azureus did not shut down tidily.....". Any ideas how I can get this error message to stop appearing and I can keep azureus but remoze mozilla composer and browser?
[04:45] <georgy> Wabshave to :

[04:50] <georgy> wabs : type just ls
[04:50] <Peregrino> so? anyone knows GRUB??
[04:50] <robertj_> is there a good gui tool for bulk image conversion?
[04:50] <sivik_> lastnode, sudo apt-get remove kde-base
[04:51] <sivik_> lastnode, but k3b may not work after you do that
[04:51] <GhostFreeman> I can't load any websites at all on this connection
[04:51] <GhostFreeman> what's up? Is my ISP's DNS having problems?
[04:51] <lastnode> sivik_, i want to remove k3b, along with ALL its deps.
[04:51] <GhostFreeman> someone throw me an IP to Google
[04:51] <Wabs> georgy: I get /media/cdrom$
[04:51] <Wabs> again.
[04:51] <Arrick> man am I getting miffed, I have twenty ubuntu breezy install cds here from shipit, and 19 of them are garbage, about to try the last one, even tried a new cdrom
[04:51] <RedKrieg> lastnode: sudo aptitude remove k3b
[04:51] <eternalswd> I have an ubuntu machine and a windows machine in the same room hooked by crossover cable.  I'd like to set up ssh on the ubuntu machine, but I don't need authentication since the ip will be bound to only the ip that the windows machine can see.  how do I set it up so I don't have to login from the windows machine?
[04:52] <kitche> Arrick: what's a matter with them?
[04:52] <Lam_> why am i having so much trouble getting my laptop to connect to my samba folder on my desktop?  it opens the folder but it can't write anything to it.  and yea, the folder is not read-only
[04:52] <lastnode> RedKrieg, will it taken kde-base with it as well?
[04:52] <Peregrino> 64.233.187.99 --> Google's IP
[04:52] <RedKrieg> lastnode: aptitude will resolve dependencies and remove unneeded packages
[04:52] <georgy> wabs : you mean you don't have a output ?
[04:52] <RedKrieg> lastnode: only if no other packages require it
[04:52] <kitche> Lam_: are you connecting as a user that has write permissions?
[04:52] <lastnode> RedGhost, aptitude. i see :-)
[04:52] <Arrick> they get to the point where they are almost installed, and they throw an error saying the disc is bad
[04:52] <Arrick> kitche, ^^
[04:52] <lastnode> thanks RedGhost
[04:52] <lastnode> RedKrieg, even
[04:53] <Wabs> georgy: Nope
[04:53] <El_Brujo> how can i do the "PATH" of the file .diff of my linux source?
[04:53] <lastnode> im just trying k3b because gnomebaker is refusing to accept a blank cd ofmine.
[04:53] <eternalswd> Lam_ is the share mounted?
[04:53] <RedKrieg> lastnode: lol np.  aptitude is sweet
[04:53] <GhostFreeman> well most of my lag issues seem to be coming from the Ubuntu website
[04:53] <Lam_> kitche: how exactly would i go about doing that?  i use sudo smbpasswd -a [user]  and edit my /etc/samba/smbusers with the username and network name and add that to the /etc/samba/smb.conf file
[04:53] <El_Brujo> its for install the nvidia drivers
[04:53] <GhostFreeman> any connections issues on Canonical's end?
[04:53] <Lam_> eternalswd: i can see the share but it disappears on and off depending on what im changing inside of smb.conf, but when i do see it, i can't write to it even if mounted
[04:54] <georgy> Wabs : ok, your cdrom is not mounted, but I have to leave now sorry, ask somebody else to help you
[04:54] <Wabs> ;_;
[04:54] <FluxD> can someone tell me what is wrong with this line I get error when I add it to the sources.list "deb http://gandalfn.club.fr/ubuntu dapper"
[04:54] <Peregrino> How to install GRUB i my pendrive?!?!?
[04:54] <kitche> Lam_: not sure how to do it manually I tend to use swat for configuring samba
[04:54] <Arrick> kitche, the funny thing Is, I am reinstalling on the pc I had it setup on, I am just switching from a server install to a full install
[04:54] <Lam_> kitche: do you have a package name for that? i might have to use that
[04:55] <El_Brujo> please i download the linux-source, noe i need to do the path to diff file
[04:55] <Wabs> can anyone else help me?
[04:55] <El_Brujo> what is the command?
[04:55] <Wabs> please?
[04:55] <eternalswd> Lam_ are you trying to connect an ubuntu machine to a windows machine or two ubuntu machines?
[04:55] <kitche> Lam_: it's part of samba
[04:55] <SunDragon> does ubuntu have a tool like debsecan?
[04:55] <Lam_> eternalswd: two ubuntu machines
[04:56] <WalterGeminis> Hi ...
[04:56] <Lam_> kitche: how do i use it/turn it on/activate it?
[04:56] <kitche> Lam_: you have to enable it in the inetd.conf
[04:57] <mluser-laptop> could someone tell me what the command is I'm supposed to run after installing the fglrx drivers
[04:57] <Lam_> kitche: ah ok. thanks
[04:57] <Wabs> fsck this
[04:57] <Asc> I need some help here.... apt seems to be broken.  Whene ver I try to use it, it prints "E: The package kernel-image-2.6.18-686-3 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it." and doesn't do anything else.
[04:57] <Arrick> kitche, if it does it again, I will give you the exact error, its been the same on all of them
[04:57] <surgy> where is grub.conf?
[04:58] <kitche> surgy: there is no such file it's called menu.lst it's in /boot/grub
[04:59] <juztin> question : what is the command to start the kde menu editor, so i don't have to go through system settings/panel/menu/edit k menu in order to edit the menu?
[04:59] <FluxD> kitchie can you tell me what i wrong with this url It pops up an error "deb http://gandalfn.club.fr/ubuntu dapper"
[04:59] <surgy> kitche: im trying to edit it so that i can change the defualt boot, and i did it before on ubuntu by changing a value with gedit, i just dont remember the path
[05:00] <mdkaneda> hey, got a quick question... If i move my harddrive to the slave position and add a new harddrive as a master... if i edit grub.conf to reflect the change (hdb1 instead of hda1), will ubuntu boot just fine and realize that the swap partition and all other are now on hdb? or is there more to it than that?
[05:00] <kitche> surgy: well the menu.lst is in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:00] <surgy> thank you
[05:00] <kitche> mdkaneda: you have to change your /etc/fstab around
[05:00] <Montag_> Is it true that Edgy is coming out in October instead of December?
[05:01] <juztin> Montag_, i read to day that its to be released in october
[05:01] <quiet> any ideas on how to do hardware/performance/stress tests from the dapper livecd?  I ram memtest for about an hour with failures...  just reformatted 30GB HDD as a single, primary ext3fs partition - running e2fsck -cfv on it right now...  any other ideas?
[05:01] <juztin> *today
[05:01] <mdkaneda> kitche: but otherwise, if grub.conf and fstab reflect the changes, i wont run into any other craziness? heh
[05:01] <quiet> excuse me...  memtest reported *no* failures...  that was a typo.
[05:01] <kitche> mdkaneda: you are correct
[05:01] <Montag_> juztin: Thanks.
[05:01] <mdkaneda> awesome! thanx for the help. wanted to quick ask before i put this drive in. heh
[05:01] <butleR`> can someone tell me why I can't install a cgwd theme on gnome?
[05:02] <cpw> what the
[05:03] <cpw> why does sudo apt-get source python give me the source for some "python-defaults" and not the actual python tree :(
[05:03] <quiet> cpw try python2.4 ?
[05:03] <quiet> cpw: else, try aptitude search python to see other available pything packages.
[05:03] <kitche> cpw: ubuntu package python is python-defaults it seems
[05:04] <DaveyJ> anyone know how to bridge standard ethernet and firewire network?
[05:04] <cpw> ah, python2.4 did it
[05:04] <tonyyarusso> Montag_: Should be details at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseSchedule
[05:04] <DaveyJ> brctl doesnt work for me
[05:04] <FluxD> can someone give me a link for running compiz on aiglx?
[05:04] <Flannel> FluxD: #ubuntu-xgl
[05:04] <Montag_> tonyyarusso: Excellent, thanks. I was doing a search for that.
[05:05] <SunDragon> ah, it looks like ubuntu does include debsecan
[05:05] <Asc> My package manager/s are broken.  Dpkg is giving me the error "unable to open files list file for package `xserver-common': Input/output error".  Anybody have advice?
[05:06] <Asc> Heck, anybody know where said files list is supposed to be?
[05:06] <DaveyJ> Asc: use apt-get ;)
[05:06] <kitche> FluD: install compiz then you have to set up the script to load compiz depending on your window manager
[05:06] <Asc> DaveyJ: it's in no better state
[05:06] <DaveyJ> ouch
[05:06] <Asc> Whenever i try to use it, it tells me that kernel-image-*.*.* is broken
[05:06] <cpw> hmm.. jedit seems h0rk3d with non-sun 1.5
[05:07] <cpw> h0rk3d as in lots of glibc free errors
[05:07] <butleR`> How would I go about installing a .sh file located on my desktop?
[05:07] <cpw> installing?
[05:07] <kitche> cpw: well that is probably due to gnu java it would probably work if you install sun's java
[05:07] <cpw> .sh are genearlly shell scripts
[05:07] <DaveyJ> sh is a script if i'm not mistaken
[05:07] <Caplain_> whats a good wysiwyg web devel tool?
[05:07] <DaveyJ> "sh script.sh" i think
[05:07] <cpw> Quanta, nvm
[05:08] <JoseStefan> or "bash script.sh"
[05:08] <SunDragon> http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com/msg00139.html
[05:08] <SunDragon> hrm, maybe debsecan is not supposed to be in ubuntu then
[05:08] <cpw> Caplain_: Quanta and NVM is about the best you're probably gonna find in the "WYSIWYG" realm
[05:09] <supermiguel> can i use ssh as web page?
[05:09] <sivik_> supermiguel, thats not possible because ssh doesn't support transfer of files
[05:09] <cpw> Caplain_: pretty much everything else is going to be tailored to hand coded html/etc.
[05:09] <supermiguel> yes it does
[05:09] <cpw> scp anyone?
[05:09] <cpw> supermiguel: define your requirements for having "ssh as a webpage"
[05:09] <supermiguel> use winscp
[05:10] <supermiguel> like a secure ftp server
[05:10] <linnuxxy> i had installed plone using apt-get install plone-site, i can reach zope in http://localhost:8081/manage, where can i reach plone?
[05:10] <cpw> supermiguel: there's ssl web pages, if you're just looking at encryption
[05:10] <supermiguel> umm
[05:10] <supermiguel> there is any way to put a program on a web page
[05:10] <supermiguel> a program like winscp
[05:11] <kitche> supermiguel: there is java that connects to an ssh server but that's not a very good idea really
[05:11] <cpw> You can build a program into a page using something like php
[05:11] <cpw> or java
[05:11] <cpw> or whatever server side language
[05:11] <supermiguel> umm
[05:11] <supermiguel> theres is any ftp secure server?
[05:11] <Flannel> supermiguel: winscp is a scp client, requiring an scp server, etc.
[05:11] <supermiguel> scp work with ssh
[05:11] <cpw> yes
[05:12] <bimberi> linnuxxy: is a plone site one of the items you can add in the zope interface?
[05:12] <Caplain_> cpw: thanks
[05:12] <polygon> hello, i just installed ubuntu on my second hard drive, which is set as the master, right after installing windows. But when i restarted without the live cd, it keeps booting into windows. How do i make it so it uses grub to choose what os i boot into?
[05:12] <britt> which 686 kernel do I select for normal circumstances?
[05:13] <britt> linux-686?
[05:13] <Flannel> britt: right
[05:13] <linnuxxy> bimberi: I dont know... is there an howto there in the net?
[05:13] <GhostFreeman> still getting an installer hangup at 82%
[05:13] <Flannel> polygon: you'll want to install grub on the MBR of your primary harddrive
[05:13] <Flannel> !tell polygon about grub
[05:13] <Asc> What is the /lib/modules/[kernel version] /volatile directory?
[05:13] <polygon> shouldent it already of done that when i installed it?
[05:13] <britt> Flannel: thank you.
[05:13] <supermiguel> there is any way to make ftp secure?
[05:13] <GhostFreeman> how do I disable my network devices
[05:14] <Flannel> polygon: if you're not getting grub at all, then no, it doesn't appear that it has.
[05:14] <polygon> hmm
[05:14] <britt> is there a speed difference on a P4 between the 386 kernel and the 686 one?
[05:14] <polygon> ok
[05:14] <Flannel> polygon: it might haveinstalled grub on the MBR of hdb (your second harddrive)
[05:14] <mikecx> anyone help with an m5451 audio device that's detected but plays no sound?
[05:14] <Flannel> britt: yeah, you get to use all the additional features
[05:15] <britt> cool
[05:15] <bimberi> linnuxxy: i don't have one off the top of my head sorry
[05:15] <GhostFreeman> hey how do I disable my network devices guys
[05:15] <polygon> it might of, but thats my windows drive and i want it to boot from ubuntu so if i reinstall windows it doesnt wipe out grub
[05:15] <cpw> britt: if you're on a P4, 686 supports a large range of cpu specific opcodes and what not
[05:15] <SunDragon> does ubuntu actually maintain a vulnerability database for its debsecan package?
[05:15] <lavi> GhostFreeman: /etc/init.d/networking stop?
[05:15] <britt> and can somebody either prove or disprove the rumor of the open-source community trashing the 386 kernel?
[05:15] <DaveyJ> 686 = core 2?
[05:15] <Flannel> SunDragon: it's in universe, so no.  it's all community maintained
[05:15] <cpw> polygon: well, thing is that windows doesn't give you a choice, it whipes your MBR (Master Bootr  Record) whether you like it not
[05:15] <DaveyJ> whats 686
[05:15] <lavi> GhostFreeman: or  ifdown ?
[05:15] <cpw> *Boot :/
[05:15] <britt> DaveyJ: 686 = anything like a Pentium
[05:15] <bimberi> linnuxxy: perhaps in /usr/share/doc/plone-site (guessing)
[05:16] <polygon> well the thing is, i unplug the ubuntu drive so it thinks its the only drive
[05:16] <Asc> Sigh, okay.  I need to install or remove a dpkg by hand.  Does anybody know how this might be done?
[05:16] <DaveyJ> oh easy enough
[05:16] <lavi> DaveyJ: 686 for intel board
[05:16] <DaveyJ> sure everyone can answer that question but no one knows how to answer mine :( lol
[05:16] <Flannel> Asc: you mean via apt-get? or what?
[05:16] <mikecx> ALI m5451 prolems anyone?
[05:16] <DaveyJ> anyone know how to bridge standard ethernet and firewire network? brctl eth0 and eth1 don't work
[05:16] <Asc> Flannel, I mean by hand because the package managers are broken
[05:17] <polygon> so, do i follow the "if /boot is on another partition" section of this guide? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[05:17] <Flannel> Asc: dpkg then? dpkg -r to remove, etc (dpkg --help for more options)
[05:17] <Asc> Flannel, I mean by hand because the package managers are broken.  This includes dpkg.
[05:18] <Flannel> polygon: try this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[05:19] <Flannel> polygon: pay no attention to the title ;)
[05:19] <Flannel> polygon: you'll want to overwrite the windows MBR
[05:19] <mikecx> So no hints as to why my m5451 is detected, configurable in alsamixer, but plays no sound?
[05:20] <ootput> have you tried the cat /dev/(u)random > /dev/dsp?
[05:20] <ootput> mikecx: ^, and how are you trying to get sound?
[05:20] <mikecx> ootput: through anything I can, lol
[05:20] <polygon> man that guide is outdated, last time i did this i used grub-install
[05:20] <polygon> so you think that windows installed its bootloader on the windows disk?
[05:21] <ootput> mikecx, does the seeker bar move when playing music?
[05:21] <cpw> oh I KNOW it installed it
[05:21] <ootput> mikecx: or does it complain
[05:21] <mikecx> ootput, haven't tested that
[05:21] <cpw> that's why when installing windows and linux
[05:21] <cpw> you install windows first, then linux
[05:21] <polygon> thats what i did
[05:21] <`paul> Kernel panic not synching when booting on a live cd what seems to be the problem? pls help. :)
[05:21] <mikecx> are there any sounds installed by default to test with?
[05:21] <polygon> unpluged ubuntu drive, installed windows, shut down, plugged in ubuntu drive, installed ubuntu, still boots into windows
[05:21] <ootput> event sounds are probably already installed
[05:22] <ootput> i'm not on my ubuntu box, so i can't give you a location or two
[05:22] <Flannel> polygon: your ubuntu install installed to the MBR of the second disk, you need to re-install grub onto the first disk's MBR
[05:22] <ootput> slocate -u, locate wav
[05:22] <jrib> mikecx: /usr/share/sounds/startup.wav probably
[05:22] <mikecx> the bar moves, just no sound
[05:22] <ootput> mikecx: try using aplay for that wav file
[05:23] <ootput> mikecx: have you unmuted the audio channels?
[05:23] <polygon> but ubuntu is the first disk (master), so you think installing to the windows (slave) would do it?
[05:23] <mikecx> nothing from aplay
[05:23] <Flannel> !tell mikecx about sound
[05:23] <mikecx> unmuted in many different ways
[05:23] <Flannel> polygon: ubuntu is the first disk?  then, you must not have installed grub with your installation at all.
[05:23] <mikecx> tried the alsamixer way and the GUI way
[05:23] <Flannel> polygon: just follow that guide, you'll get it all set up no problem
[05:24] <polygon> i used the live cd, click install button lol
[05:24] <`paul> Kernel panic not synching when booting on a live cd what seems to be the problem? pls help. :) ..
[05:25] <kamui> how do I change my keyboard layout in kde so that I can map the super key to the windows key?
[05:25] <mikecx> investigating both those links now
[05:25] <Flannel> kamui: try asking in #kubuntu
[05:26] <bimberi> *needs
[05:26] <surgy> how do i change my splash screen?
[05:26] <Dr_willis> !usplash
[05:26] <ubotu> usplash is the start-up splash (before GNOME/KDE appears) in Ubuntu. To customize it, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto
[05:27] <ajmitch> maybe not..
[05:27] <Flannel> heh
[05:28] <bimberi> ajmitch: that ban has |#ubuntu-ops at the end (nfi what that means)
[05:28] <Asc> surgy, it's easier to disable than change, if you're interested
[05:28] <Omnifarious> Ubuntu is unusable for me.
[05:28] <Omnifarious> Oh, well.
[05:28] <ajmitch> bimberi: meant to forward to #ubuntu-ops, obviously not set right :)
[05:28] <surgy> dr_willis: there isnt a gui program somewhere to just change it? like in kde?
[05:28] <Omnifarious> No support for the Dlink DGE-530T in the stock kernel.
[05:28] <OmniD> What's a good program for encoding video from a DVD into a file?
[05:29] <surgy> asc: i just want a different pic
[05:29] <TheManiacKY> Is there a way to make it so all emails sent to root are sent to another email address?
[05:29] <OmniD> I record matches and wish to distribute them on the net! So something beyond what only I can use is a must
[05:29] <Dr_willis> surgy,   'like in kde' ? the usplash has nothing todo with kde. its shown as the system is booting.
[05:29] <bimberi> ajmitch: ah :)
[05:29] <Asc> surgy: okay, good luck with that.
[05:29] <ootput> OmniD, there's dvdrip
[05:29] <Dr_willis> i alwyas disable the usplash eye candy :P
[05:29] <ootput> OmniD: but i prefer doing each step of the process with a different tool (manually)
[05:29] <totall_6_7> ajmitch: /mode #ubuntu +b *!*andrew_
[05:29] <OmniD> manually?
[05:30] <surgy> dr_willis: im talking about the screen right after login, that loads the services
[05:30] <ootput> well, almost
[05:30] <Flannel> !tell surgy about splash
[05:30] <ootput> i automate rip/encodes with scripts
[05:30] <OmniD> See I tried VLCs encapsulation and different codecs but it either ends up with no sound, no video, or an incompatibility
[05:30] <c21williamkp> Good evening- would like some input on how I might- (I forgot in my haste to backup some data) recover data now that I upgraded my MB
[05:30] <surgy> flannel: i dont understand......
[05:31] <Asc> Could somebody give me the odds of removing a kernel with 'dpkg --force-remove-reinstreq' destroying my system?
[05:31] <ootput> OmniD: there's http://www.bunkus.org/dvdripping4linux/other/ripping_dvds_to_divx_with_mencoder.html
[05:31] <ootput> OmniD: and http://www.bunkus.org/dvdripping4linux/single/index.html#transcoding_mplayer
[05:31] <OmniD> hmm
[05:31] <ootput> of course, divx is entirely optional (and not the best option)
[05:31] <OmniD> why not?
[05:32] <OmniD> See what I think is a big problem is there is no good single format that everyone has
[05:32] <mikecx> ok, i checked out and tryed the recommendations from ubotu to get my m5451 sound card working and still nothing
[05:32] <surgy> flannel: care to explain that a bit more?
[05:32] <ootput> OmniD: lavc is far superior to divx, and at least as good as xvid
[05:32] <c21williamkp> Flannel- talking to me?
[05:33] <OmniD> I've never heard of anyone have lavc though
[05:33] <KromiX> Cool looks like the alternate install CD is working! wewt
[05:33] <OmniD> can anyone on say a windows PC play it without a bunch of codec hunting?
[05:33] <ootput> OmniD: as long as one has a fourcc dec, they should be able to view it
[05:34] <c21williamkp> Q- anyone have suggestion on how to reboot a HD with ubuntu without reformatting ?
[05:34] <mdkaneda> whoa, noticed we're talkin video in here. that's my specialty! lol. whats the issue? i've been using lavc codec exclusively for encoding my videos... found out it encodes conciderably faster than xvid and looks just great for my projects
[05:35] <derek> anybody have the source.list that include GAIM 2??????
[05:35] <derek> anybody have the source.list that include GAIM 2??????
[05:35] <jrib> !gaim2
[05:35] <ubotu> Packages for Gaim 2 beta 3 can be found via https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2006-April/072721.html
[05:36] <derek> ubotu, thank you man
[05:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about thank you man - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:36] <theBishop> i'm having trouble adding sound files to an Impress presentation
[05:36] <eyequeue> derek, ubotu is a bot :)
[05:36] <KromiX> hey guys
[05:36] <derek> eyequeue, !!!!
[05:36] <KromiX> can I format 1 HardDrive and use it with ubuntu and have another hard drive for windoze?
[05:36] <Flannel> KromiX: yep
[05:36] <Flannel> !tell KromiX about dualboot
[05:37] <Celeste> !tell Flannel about not working bots
[05:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about not working bots - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:37] <WInter-Soulstice> hello maytes
[05:38] <Flannel> Celeste: what? ubotu is working fine
[05:38] <`m0> hmm, I am playing a xvid TV show... Family Guy, and when I play it .. Its a black screen.. But when I move the screen, i see the video very qiuckly an dthen it goes bad. Then the gnome sesssion loggs off automatically. Any ideas why?
[05:38] <WInter-Soulstice> Anyone know if the repositories are still down for xgl
[05:38] <Celeste> Flannel, but he did not say anything?
[05:38] <Flannel> WInter-Soulstice: #ubuntu-xgl
[05:39] <Celeste> oh, did he say it in a query?
[05:39] <WInter-Soulstice> ty
[05:39] <Flannel> Celeste: yes, in a query
[05:39] <Celeste> I am sorry
[05:39] <Celeste> ;)
[05:39] <Flannel> Celeste: cuts down on the spam in here ;)
[05:39] <Celeste> really
[05:39] <mdkaneda> m0: sounds like a problem w/ XVideo, what program are u using to view the family guy?
[05:40] <`m0> Mplayer
[05:40] <mdkaneda> if you're using VLC you can go into the settings and change it to use "OpenGL" and it should solve your problem.
[05:40] <`m0> hmm
[05:40] <`m0> vlc better than mplayer?
[05:40] <mdkaneda> i love VLC'
[05:40] <`m0> ok:)
[05:40] <`m0> how can i change all .avi to open vlc automatically?/
[05:41] <totall_6_7> vlc plays things where the others will not
[05:41] <mdkaneda> Mplayer is nice too, but i use VLC for everything except DVD's... i use Totem (Xine) for DVD's, cuz its nice and easy to get it to start a title1 chapter1 and play all the way thru like a dvd-player would
[05:41] <mdkaneda> once u install VLC, u can right click and open w/ VLC, then you can right click on a AVI and go to Properties and select to always open AVI's with VLC, pretty simple
[05:41] <eyequeue> `m0, right click on one, then associate that app
[05:41] <totall_6_7> its ok i cant get dvd's to play at all. no matter what program i use
[05:42] <eyequeue> !dvd > totall_6_7
[05:42] <mdkaneda> trying ubuntuguide.org and go thru there site
[05:42] <`m0> mdkaneda: i don't see where I can change to openGL?
[05:42] <totall_6_7> when its important to me i will ask for help
[05:42] <`m0> mdkaneda: do you know where?
[05:42] <mdkaneda> m0: hang on a sec, i'll tell ya where
[05:42] <mluser-laptop> !skype
[05:42] <ubotu> To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto
[05:43] <mikecx> still no sound
[05:43] <`m0> Maybe cause I have XGL installed.. It is messing everything
[05:43] <joel> quickkk question -- when i log in, ~/bin/ is not being added to $PATH, as per ~/.bash_profile
[05:43] <mdkaneda> settings, preferences, video, output modules (check the advanced options box), and click the dropdown menu to select OpenGL
[05:43] <joel> any idea what i need to do to get bash to read .bash_profile whenever i open xterm?
[05:43] <supermiguel> what is the easiest way to make an ftp server
[05:43] <mdkaneda> got that, `m0?
[05:43] <ootput> joel: bashrc?
[05:44] <totall_6_7> eyequeue:  thanks for the info, sadly i have done that, but no worries i dont need to play dvd's on the computer, i can download moveis or watch them on the big screen
[05:44] <ootput> i believe xterms are started as login shells, by default
[05:44] <ootput> else, you can configure that option in .Xdefaults
[05:44] <eyequeue> ootput, that's for non-login shells, you don't want a path there heh
[05:44] <mdkaneda> thats in VLC by the way, havnt figured out how to do so in MPlayer... Totem has a config file that you have to edit to make it use OpenGL, might be the same biz for Mplayer
[05:45] <ootput> mdkaneda: mplayer -vo gl  ; on my xgl setup, i use -vo gl2
[05:45] <mikecx> aaaaaarg, this sound thing is bothering me
[05:45] <`m0> mdkaneda: Ahh now VLC crashes :)
[05:45] <mikecx> neither gentoo nor ubuntu can seem to get my soundcard going
[05:46] <mdkaneda> oh no, havnt had that issue. VLC is usally pretty nice to me. heh
[05:47] <`m0> mdkaneda: I placed it in X11 Video output
[05:47] <`m0> it is now good :)
[05:47] <mdkaneda> awesome!
[05:47] <`m0> Thanks m8 :)
[05:47] <mdkaneda> no prob =)
[05:47] <butleR`> can someone help me out using Wine to install Ventrilo?
[05:49] <weex> is there a way to 'ipconfig /flushdns'?
[05:49] <`m0> eyequeue: thankx I went and clicked on vlc and it associated it
[05:49] <OmniD> ootput I'm only seeing one DVD ripping program
[05:49] <OmniD> and it's for divx
[05:50] <supermiguel> what is the easiest way to set up an ftp server
[05:50] <ootput> OmniD: dvdrip can handle xvid
[05:50] <mikecx> k, so sound plays through the headphone jack, just not the built-in speakers
[05:50] <eyequeue> growisofs (1)        - combined mkisofs frontend/DVD recording program.
[05:50] <ootput> OmniD: oh, dvdrip may not be in the main repo
[05:50] <OmniD> Where is dvdrip? I can't see it on synaptic
[05:50] <OmniD> right
[05:50] <eyequeue> !info growisofs
[05:50] <ubotu> Package growisofs does not exist in any distro I know
[05:51] <ootput> OmniD: it's in multiverse
[05:51] <ootput> !dvdrip
[05:51] <ubotu> dvdrip: perl front end for transcode. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:0.52.5-0.0 (dapper), package size 365 kB, installed size 1656 kB
[05:51] <eyequeue> !info dvd+rw-tools
[05:51] <ubotu> Package dvdrw-tools does not exist in any distro I know
[05:51] <mikecx> ootput: any thoughts as to why the headphones would work for sound but not the built-in speakers?
[05:51] <OmniD> a lot of stuff is not available from multiverse anymore
[05:51] <OmniD> it seems
[05:52] <OmniD> Like I can't get zsnes for instance
[05:52] <OmniD> !zsnes
[05:52] <ubotu> zsnes: Emulator of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (TM). In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1.420-0.1ubuntu2 (dapper), package size 506 kB, installed size 3224 kB (Only available for i386)
[05:52] <eyequeue> mikecb, headphones and master are different settings
[05:52] <polygon> thanks to whoever helped, me, grub is now working, i guess the live cd didnt install grub
[05:52] <OmniD> See it's in multiverse however it not available in it anymore as far as I know
[05:52] <mikecx> eyequeue: both are un-muted
[05:52] <polygon> thanks and bye
[05:53] <Asc> Where is the list, used by apt/dpkg, of packages on a system?
[05:53] <eyequeue> mikecb, no ideas then, but be sure you don't enable *any* hardware you don't have (in sudo alsamixer)
[05:54] <Dr_willis> yep zsnes seems to be gone.
[05:54] <nick24816> My Nvidia 7900 SLI setup freezes when I log out and when I try to switch to a virtual console. It is a hard lock, because I can't ssh into it
[05:54] <Dr_willis> could be there was no maintainer.
[05:54] <nick24816> i tried both the drivers in the repositories and the newest drivers from the nvidia website
[05:56] <eyequeue> Asc, -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17842965 2006-09-25 03:39 /var/lib/dpkg/available
[05:56] <Asc> eyeque, is that the list of available packages, or installed ones?
[05:57] <eyequeue> Asc, both
[05:57] <Asc> Is there a list of only ones that are installed?
[05:57] <Meglo> How do I give permissions to applications to access certain restricted dirs?
[05:57] <eyequeue> Asc, maybe you want status in that dir
[05:58] <Lam_> what's a good wireless network manager program for linux?
[05:58] <mluser-laptop> where is the best place to add ~/bin for all users on a ubuntu system?
[05:58] <Asc> eyeque: thanks, I think that's what I was looking for
[05:58] <OmniD> ootput do you mean drip?
[05:58] <eyequeue> mluser-laptop, .etc.profile, if they use bash
[05:59] <eyequeue> mluser-laptop, /etc/profile, if they use bash
[05:59] <mluser-laptop> eyequeue: great.. thanks :)
[05:59] <eyequeue> mluser-laptop, np
[05:59] <SpaceFrog> Can i use Flash Player 9 with Linux?
[05:59] <SpaceFrog> Without having to use Wine?
[05:59] <Asc> eyeque: do you know if there's one that lists the files which make up a given package?
[05:59] <mikecx> ahhh! it makes no sense!
[05:59] <mikecx> i have system beep and headphones
[05:59] <mikecx> but no sound out regular speakers
[05:59] <theBishop> is there a repo for OpenOffice snapshots?
[06:00] <eyequeue> Asc, you probably want a command instead, though there is i .list file
[06:00] <eyequeue> Asc, dpkg -L foo
[06:00] <Lam_> what's a good wireless network manager for gnome?
[06:00] <levander> Anybody is burning DVD-RAM discs?  Doesn't look like most of these $30 burners I'm looking at burns DVD-RAM's.
[06:01] <eyequeue> Asc, but there are files like this   -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9213 2006-04-20 19:53 /var/lib/dpkg/info/apt.list
[06:01] <Asc> eyeque: That helps.  What I'm trying to do is convince dpkg that a package which is installed, does not exist
[06:01] <mog_home> hi im trying to downgrade mysql back to 4.1 after ubuntu upgraded me but i keep getting this error  subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1
[06:02] <eyequeue> Asc, okay, you're in need of doing some drastic surgery to the database then?  with the dangers?
[06:02] <levander> mog_home: did you remove mysql5 first?  that's what i'd do
[06:02] <sycho> any ideas why after i install frostwire nothing comes up after I go to run the app?
[06:02] <eyequeue> Asc, sudo nano /var/lib/dpkg/status  and edit it to the format that you'll see for uninstalled apps
[06:02] <nick24816> so nobody knows anything about nvidia 7900 freezing problems?
[06:02] <Asc> eyeque: at the present time, none of the package managers work.  I've backed up my home directory.  If I can't repair this, I'll reinstall.
[06:03] <mog_home> i did
[06:03] <mog_home> it keeps giving me this errror anyways
[06:03] <eyequeue> Asc, it's definitely not something except a last-dotch means :)
[06:03] <levander> mog_home: is there any more info?
[06:03] <mog_home> i removed anything relating to 5
[06:03] <Asc> eyeque: I asked earlier and nobody had any suggestions. :\
[06:03] <kjm> nick24816 - I'm sure somebody does, but if you didn
[06:03] <mog_home> http://pastebin.ca/181573
[06:04] <levander> mog_home: "sudo aptitude remove --purge mysql4" (don't remember the exact package name) - try to remove it "completely" (with the --purge option) and try reinstalling
[06:04] <eyequeue> Asc, you also should try to run the preem and postrm scripts in  /var/lib/dpkg/info/foo.*  and rm the files in .list
[06:04] <mog_home> that wont delete my db?
[06:04] <eyequeue> Asc, it's prettty darn drastic, i can see no one knowing it or at least admitting :)
[06:04] <kjm> nick24816 - which drivers you using?  What is your xorg.conf file look like?
[06:04] <Asc> eueque: Basicly, I think I accidentally partially installed a kernel-image dpkg that was already installed.  When I rebooted....
[06:04] <mjcar> anyone know when samba 3.0.23c will be packaged into ubuntu ?
[06:05] <Asc> eyeque: fortunately, I do not have any reputation to pretect :)
[06:05] <Asc> *protect
[06:05] <levander> mjcar: check packages.ubuntu.com and see if it's in edgy yet
[06:05] <eyequeue> Asc, um, i may have been able to save you some work :)  sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-image-whatever :)
[06:05] <Asc> eyeque: the package managers are broken
[06:06] <eyequeue> Asc, ah, okay, well, that command for future use, heh
[06:06] <levander> mog_home: backup your db first
[06:06] <levander> mog_home: instructions for backing up on mysql.com somewhere
[06:06] <PMantis> hi guys... my Ubuntu machine that's running inside of VMWare lot network capabilities. There is an /etc/iftab with a mac in it... is there a way in /proc to get the mac of the virtual nic?
[06:07] <PMantis> I suspect that the MAC changed for this VM.
[06:07] <mog_home> ugh still didnt work
[06:07] <eyequeue> PMantis, maybe #vmware?
[06:08] <nick24816> kjm- i'm using the latest drivers from the nvidia website, but the ones from the repositories don't work either
[06:08] <kjm> post xorg.conf
[06:08] <nick24816> in the channel?
[06:08] <kjm> no.....
[06:08] <eyequeue> !pastebin > nick24816
[06:08] <PMantis> eyequeue, Well, I was hoping to have Ubuntu redetect the NIC if I can't figure out how to manually do it.
[06:09] <mog_home> same error levander
[06:09] <eyequeue> PMantis, i don't think that something this channel would cover though
[06:09] <_miko> How do i get java for my FF?
[06:09] <levander> mog_home: if you know bash, the installation scripts are in /var/lib/dpkg/info, with postinst and preinst filename extensions, you can find the one for mysql and try to debug it if you want
[06:09] <levander> mog_home: or, google for your exact error message
[06:10] <eyequeue> !java > _miko
[06:10] <PMantis> eyequeue, What if it was on a full PC, and it lost it's ability to see eth0? How can I add a NIC after the installation?
[06:10] <eyequeue> PMantis, ifup eth1
[06:10] <eyequeue> PMantis, the hw is sensed at boot
[06:10] <vap> Trying to build alsa-utils on ubuntu and the ./configure cant find ncurses, which seem to be installed. Any suggestions?
[06:11] <eyequeue> PMantis, vmware is just, um, non-standard with everything hw
[06:11] <Asc> eyeque: Thanks for the help, I think I've got enough leads to fumble my way to a state which is either broken or fixed.
[06:11] <eyequeue> Asc, good luck with it
[06:12] <eyequeue> PMantis, that's why i thought /join #vmware   might be helpful
[06:12] <Asc> eyeque: oh, when running those scripts, is the command just ex. 'perl postinst'?
[06:12] <nick24816> kjm- http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24748
[06:12] <sycho> any ideas why when I try to run frostwire I get the error I need to upgrade to Jre 1.4.x but when I do "Java --version" I am running version 1.4.2
[06:12] <eyequeue> Asc, most should be shell scripts, sudo sh /var/lib/dpkg/info/foo.postrm
[06:13] <eyequeue> sycho, try sudo update-alternatives --config java
[06:14] <Asc> eyeque: okay.  The ones that I extracted from a deb showed up as perl in nautilus, but they look like shell scripts inside
[06:14] <Asc> eyeque: thanks again, reboot time.
[06:14] <_miko> is there an easier way to install java?
[06:14] <kjm> yawn - is it just me, or is pastebin obscenely slow tonight?
[06:14] <nick24816> it was slow for me too
[06:15] <eyequeue> Asc, yeah, some might be bash, but they are supposed to be generic bourne shell unless they specify otherwise, i think :)  per policy
[06:15] <jiSh> slow all day
[06:15] <kjm> _miko - that is like asking if there is an easier way to open a container of milk.  Sure, always is . . . but it is likely to spill all over your crotch.
[06:16] <eyequeue> kjm, and mcdonalds learned don't let customers spill java there, heh ;-)
[06:16] <nick24816> kjm- the Device Driver section is currently "nv", because as "nvidia" it freezes when unloading X
[06:16] <_miko> I want to feel the milk by my crotch so give me the container of milk so i can start opening it
[06:16] <_miko> LOL
[06:16] <kjm> nick24816 - when does it "freeze"?
[06:16] <PMantis> eyequeue, ok, I found that the MAC indeed changed... something that ifconfig -a could tell me.
[06:16] <kjm> What do you mean by "unloading"?
[06:16] <sycho> eyequeue: no luck. maybe I'll just update to java 1.5.0
[06:16] <PMantis> eyequeue, the iftab was wrong, then..
[06:16] <eyequeue> PMantis, now how to get it back, that i don't know
[06:17] <sycho> eyequeue: is 1.5.0 a pain to update to?
[06:17] <_miko> how can i download the updated ubuntu
[06:17] <eyequeue> sycho, no idea, i don't do java here
[06:17] <PMantis> eyequeue, I modified the iftab, and I'm rebooting that VM... will let you know. :)
[06:17] <kjm> _miko - ?  Do you mean update Dapper?  Or download edgy eft?
[06:17] <eyequeue> !download > _miko
[06:17] <sycho> eyequeue: ok.. thanks anyways
[06:17] <nick24816> kdm- it loads up kdm, and i can log in, but when i try to go into the virtual console by Alt+Ctrl+F[n]  or try to shut down the computer, the computer would freeze
[06:18] <eyequeue> sycho, good luck
[06:18] <sycho> eyequeue: thanks
[06:18] <nick24816> not even accept new ssh connections
[06:18] <kjm> nick24816 - do you have xgl running?
[06:18] <ISOLATEDViRuS> i try to use command: su   to log in as superuser, i get authentication failure, what is wrong?
[06:18] <_miko> I used to see this button in my menu that shows if there is new update
[06:18] <kjm> ISOLATEDViRuS - bad password
[06:18] <eyequeue> ISOLATEDViRuS, we on't do that in ubuntu, watch the bot
[06:18] <PMantis> !pastebin
[06:18] <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)
[06:18] <eyequeue> !root > ISOLATEDViRuS
[06:18] <ISOLATEDViRuS> not a bad password. its correct.
[06:18] <_miko> all i have to do is click it and everything will be downloaded
[06:18] <kjm> ISOLATEDViRus - bad username
[06:19] <_miko> now, i dont see it anymore, after i customize it
[06:19] <eyequeue> ISOLATEDViRuS, you use the user pw, no root pw in ubuntu
[06:19] <ISOLATEDViRuS> how do i enable local system root/administrator login?
[06:19] <kjm> you don't - it is a security risk.
[06:19] <eyequeue> ISOLATEDViRuS, read what the bot told you
[06:19] <PMantis> eyequeue, Yeah, it worked
[06:19] <_miko> how do i see the version of the ubuntu i currently have
[06:19] <kjm> ISOLATEDViRuS - if you wish to have extended root privvies - use $su -i for a root session
[06:19] <eyequeue> PMantis, heh
[06:19] <ISOLATEDViRuS> well im running a special setup, and im going to need local system root/administrator login.
[06:20] <kjm> _miko - man uname
[06:20] <butleR`> where do i put msgsm32.acm to get ventrilo to work with Wine?
[06:20] <PMantis> eyequeue, I hope Jeff's support center answers questions better, though...
[06:20] <eyequeue> kjm, i think you meant sudo -i
[06:20] <nick24816> i don't have xgl running
[06:20] <hayden> i have setup courier-imap mail server and smtp server, but when i send an email to myself i can't retrieve it using imap but i can retrieve it using the $ mail command, any ideas?
[06:20] <kjm> eyequeue - yup, a bit quick on the return key there
[06:20] <eyequeue> ISOLATEDViRuS, again, read what the bot told you
[06:21] <teenprogrammer> Hi
[06:21] <Somniis> hello
[06:21] <_miko> does ubuntu have some sort of system restore like windows
[06:22] <kjm> nick24816 - Remove (comment out) the section "Extensions" and restart X/
[06:22] <teenprogrammer> Where is firefox plugin folder?
[06:22] <Somniis> i never used that in windows.. hehe
[06:22] <teenprogrammer> O_O
[06:22] <nick24816> after it froze, i opened up the logs (dmesg and messages) in windows, and nothing was written
[06:22] <Arrick> why does firefox take so long to load anything in ubunut breezy?
[06:22] <luckyone> how do I locate all of the *.wma files on my machine?
[06:22] <kjm> _miko : Yes - look in System-Administration
[06:22] <Asc> _miko: try booting from the CD and selecting 'repair mode' or similar... not sure how much it is like the windows version though
[06:22] <kjm> luckyone - man locate
[06:22] <Asc> _miko: (if that's what you were looking for)
[06:22] <Andruk> is there an easy way of updating grub so it sees my new install of knoppmyth?
[06:23] <kamui> what program can I use to get my laptop volume keys to work?
[06:23] <teenprogrammer> I need to install a plugin and i cant find the Firefox Plugins folder
[06:23] <teenprogrammer> O_o
[06:23] <jbmigel> luckyone find / -name "*.wma" -print
[06:23] <sycho> anyone know how to install Java jre 1.5.0?
[06:23] <eyequeue> !java
[06:23] <kjm> !java >sycho
[06:23] <teenprogrammer> thats
[06:23] <ubotu> 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
[06:23] <teenprogrammer> what I am installing, Java. . . =D
[06:23] <eyequeue> teenprogrammer, see the bot
[06:23] <sycho> thanks
[06:23] <jUggERNAUt1980> word up!
[06:24] <teenprogrammer> eyequeue - Sorry, i have only been using ubuntu for like, 5 days XD What is the bot?
[06:24] <mjcar> so If edgy still has 3.0.22 we're going to be waiting a wile for 3.0.23c in dapper ?
[06:24] <mjcar> samba that is
[06:24] <eyequeue> teenprogrammer, ubotu :)  here, watch your incoming /msg
[06:24] <jbmigel> kjm is locate active by default?
[06:24] <teenprogrammer> =D ty
[06:24] <eyequeue> !java > teenprogrammer
[06:24] <kjm> nick24816 - try modification I posted here : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24749
[06:24] <nick24816> kjm- i enabled the nvidia driver and disabled composite, and it froze when switching from kdm to virtual console
[06:24] <hayden> !mail
[06:24] <ubotu> mail is another medium to communicate. Ubuntu mailinglists can be found at http://lists.ubuntu.com
[06:24] <hayden> !imap
[06:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about imap - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:24] <levander> mjcar: they don't do version upgrades in a distribution they've already released, not even bug fixes, only security updates
[06:25] <mjcar> bugger
[06:25] <levander> mjcar: the version of samba won't get bumped until edgy
[06:25] <kjm> jbmigel - yes it is
[06:25] <levander> mjcar: you can look for it on backports (unofficial repository) if you want though
[06:25] <hayden> i have setup courier-imap mail server and smtp server, but when i send an email to myself i can't retrieve it using imap but i can retrieve it using the $ mail command, any ideas?
 luckyone find / -name "*.wma" -print : But I think your method  here is more efficient
[06:25] <mjcar> same site, or do you have a link
[06:25] <mjcar> ?
[06:25] <levander> mjcar: i use backports, but only when i need to, i try to stay in the official repos
[06:25] <levander> mjcar: is there a particularly feature you need in 3.23c?
[06:26] <mjcar> xfs groupquotas are broken in 3.0.22
[06:26] <eyequeue> !bugs
[06:26] <ubotu> If you find a bug in Ubuntu, please report it at http://bugs.ubuntu.com
[06:26] <kjm> nick24816 - I can't see anything else that can be an issue here.  i am running the same card as you, and haven't had an issue.
[06:26] <nick24816> would it matter if its sli?
[06:26] <levander> mjcar: well, i'd change the filesystem type (away from xfs) if possible before going to backports, but there's not anything usually wrong with backports, it's just one more thing to manage in my opinion
[06:26] <kjm> sli?
[06:27] <kjm> sry - nmind.
[06:27] <nick24816> yes, two nvidia 7900 gtx cards, connected together with sli
[06:27] <nick24816> ok
[06:27] <mjcar> have a 3.7TB array, sort of need XFS
[06:27] <kjm> heh, that I don't know - I only have one on board.
[06:27] <levander> mjcar: it's just easier because you don't have to think about anything if you stay in official repositories, with backports, there's more of a (although still unlikely) possibility things won't work together is all
[06:28] <mjcar> I normally compile from source...
[06:28] <mjcar> so multiple repositories is not an issue
[06:28] <jbmigel> wow nick24816 thats alot of graphics hardware, you really gonna get some fps in tux racer
[06:28] <levander> mjcar: backports is entirely run by volunteers, no real official Canonical support, but really, so much of Linux is based on volunteers...
[06:28] <mjcar> Just trying ubuntu on a server to see how it goes
[06:28] <jUggERNAUt1980> hey all!  i'm seeing seek errors in syslog for my hd, should i install some drivers somehow?
[06:28] <levander> mjcar: if you compile from source, you could backport it yourself
[06:28] <blind> I'm following the howto for installation of nVidia drivers here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia -- It says restart X, and look for the nVidia splash screen, but I'm using my onboard. So should I restart X and switch monitors.. That seems like the apparent route to take.
[06:28] <levander> mjcar: the backports project has backporting instructions
[06:29] <mjcar> yeah but trying to get the underlings to maintain server, and they are clueless...
[06:29] <levander> mjcar, you could become the "MOTU" for samaba
[06:29] <mjcar> MOTU ?
[06:29] <levander> mjcar: the guy who does the compiling and makes the deb package
[06:29] <hayden> mjcar, Master Of The Universe
[06:29] <levander> mjcar: you know the old saying "if you want it done right, do it yourself"?
[06:29] <mjcar> indeed...
[06:29] <levander> mjcar: that's how a lot of people become package maintainers
[06:29] <levander> mjcar: they want it done right
[06:30] <nick24816> unplugging sli fixed it
[06:30] <levander> mjcar: any, that's my bit for MOTU recruiting, you do sound like the right type, good luck if you decide to do it
[06:30] <thirdalbum> I've just found that I have a command-line program called "netbug". When I run it, it gives me this output: Send network configuration summary to [ENTER means kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru] 
[06:31] <mjcar> no prob, will at least look into it...
[06:31] <butleR`> Can anyone tell me how to install a CGWD theme on Gnome?
[06:31] <thirdalbum> Is this a legitimate program, or is it a rootkit or something?
[06:31] <theBishop> has anyone been able to install Openoffice 2.04?
[06:31] <mjcar> I would have thought that MOTU for samba would have been taken by someone by now though
[06:31] <eyequeue> iproute: /sbin/netbug
[06:31] <kjm> nick24816 - well, there you go.  I don't have any experience with dual head or multiple video card setups.....so that's a little beyond me.
[06:31] <kjm> But, glad you got it working.
[06:31] <ISOLATEDViRuS> w00t fix'D
[06:31] <blind> Anyone?
[06:32] <levander> mjcar: maybe not in backports, it's not as big a project, you'll have to check out the project, maybe you want to know the maintainer anyway if you're going to be using his work
[06:32] <eyequeue> thirdalbum, ls -l /sbin/netbug
[06:32] <jUggERNAUt1980> blind, i'm someone.
[06:32] <jUggERNAUt1980> :P
[06:32] <ISOLATEDViRuS> time to celebrate by drinking a rum - bawls mix and listening to "Lazytown - Pirate.mp3"
[06:32] <blind> Wooo
[06:32] <blind> jUggERNAUt1980: Someone who can help? :P
[06:32] <levander> mjcar: want to know him because backports isn't as regulated as proper Canonical repositories
[06:32] <eyequeue> thirdalbum, -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1522 2006-05-22 05:48 /sbin/netbug
[06:32] <ISOLATEDViRuS> the issue was i didnt have the root password defined.
[06:32] <jUggERNAUt1980> blind, what's ur dilemna?
[06:32] <blind> I'm following the howto for installation of nVidia drivers here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia -- It says restart X, and look for the nVidia splash screen, but I'm using my onboard. So should I restart X and switch monitors.. That seems like the apparent route to take.
[06:33] <thirdalbum> eyequeue: Mine says 13:48 not 05:48, but otherwise exactly the same
[06:33] <_miko> how can i set my computer to start with CD
[06:33] <thirdalbum> So it's legit then?
[06:33] <tonyyarusso> _miko: Once or always?
[06:33] <blind> _miko, change the option in your bios
[06:33] <kjm> _miko - it would be in your set boot order options in bios
[06:33] <_miko> just once
[06:33] <eyequeue> thirdalbum, you're probably okay, but if you like, run md5sum on it and i'll compare
[06:33] <mluser-laptop> !amarok
[06:33] <ubotu> amarok is an audio player for Linux with an intuitive interface. The latest version is 1.4.3 and packages are available for Kubuntu at www.kubuntu.org

[06:33] <eyequeue> thirdalbum, 9ccc0e551457840ba8d702413cdc48b5  /sbin/netbug
[06:34] <tonyyarusso> _miko: Do you ever see something when you're booting that says something about device selection, press F(something)?
[06:34] <jUggERNAUt1980> _miko, change the boot order in the bios
[06:34] <_miko> thats what i want to know
[06:34] <blind> Alright, well I'm gonna restart X and see what happens.
[06:34] <_miko> i have done it before
[06:34] <Somniis> _miko: press the key that lets you go into your bios on startup
[06:34] <thirdalbum> eyequeue, thanks. It matches
[06:34] <tonyyarusso> _miko: Properly, you may want to change it permanently, which is in your bios setup, usually one of the F keys or Esc while booting, but a one time thing can also exist on some machines.
[06:34] <eyequeue> thirdalbum, cool, no worries then
[06:35] <Arrick> Quick Question, I now have a gui installed, how do I set it up so that my network uses one NIC for a gateway, and the otehr NIC is hookes to the internet?
[06:35] <Somniis> _miko: and change the boot order from hard drive to cd-rom first
[06:35] <Arrick> (BREEZY)
[06:36] <El_Brujo> what is this?:
[06:36] <El_Brujo>   Disable the TSC for seccomp tasks (SECCOMP_DISABLE_TSC) [N/y/?]  (NEW)
[06:36] <El_Brujo> i config my source
[06:36] <eyequeue> El_Brujo, "?"
[06:36] <El_Brujo> i need to install the nvidia drivers
[06:36] <eyequeue> El_Brujo, "?" for menuconfig help
[06:36] <Flannel> El_Brujo: something wrong with the ones in the repositories?
[06:37] <El_Brujo> yea
[06:37] <El_Brujo> give me problems
[06:37] <El_Brujo> i say yes or no?
[06:37] <eyequeue> El_Brujo, press the ? key there
[06:37] <El_Brujo> ok
[06:38] <El_Brujo> This feature mathematically prevents covert channels
[06:38] <El_Brujo> for tasks running under SECCOMP. This can generate
[06:38] <El_Brujo> a minuscule overhead in the scheduler.
[06:38] <El_Brujo> If you care most about performance say N. Say Y only if you're
[06:38] <El_Brujo> paranoid about covert channels.
[06:38] <Theolustra> Assuming that sudo requires the hostname to be in /etc/hosts and I removed it, how do I get root?
[06:39] <eyequeue> Theolustra, boot using the recue option, and repair
[06:39] <GhostFreeman> how do I install the 686 kernel
[06:39] <eyequeue> Theolustra, boot using the reScue option, and repair
[06:39] <Theolustra> eyequeue, ugh. Ok, will try that.
[06:39] <Asc> What's the command to repait the filesystem of the boot drive on reboot?
[06:39] <Dr_willis> GhostFreeman,  fire up synaptic, search for 686, install it. :P
[06:39] <Asc> *erpair
[06:39] <thirdalbum> Theolustra, don't worry it's a common thing to do :-)
[06:39] <Asc> *repair :\
[06:39] <eyequeue> GhostFreeman, it is no longer in edgy, but dapper has one, though it's not really worth it
[06:39] <hayden> i have setup courier-imap mail server and smtp server, but when i send an email to myself i can't retrieve it using imap but i can retrieve it using the $ mail command, any ideas?
[06:39] <GhostFreeman> thanks
[06:40] <GhostFreeman> I'm using Dapper
[06:40] <GhostFreeman> and I know the difference between 386 and 686-smp
[06:41] <Arrick> Quick Question, I now have a gui installed, how do I set it up so that my network uses one NIC for a gateway, and the otehr NIC is hookes to the internet?
[06:41] <Arrick> (BREEZY)
[06:43] <Arrick> night all
[06:43] <Somniis> night Arrick
[06:43] <harisund> Has anybody used dnsmasq here before? My DHCP clients aren't able to access machines in the /etc/host of my linux box, even though dnsmasq is supposed to act as a dns server, and is supposed to read of /etc/hosts. Any ideas?
[06:43] <`paul> hi, my ubuntu installation seems to always stall on "configuring apt" should i wait or is there really a prob?
[06:44] <Asc> What might it mean when a file appears like '?---------     ? ?          ?                ? xserver-common.list"
[06:44] <jUggERNAUt1980> `paul, is that one of the 6 steps in the livecd?
[06:44] <`paul> yup
[06:44] <GhostFreeman> ok now I need to know how to install the ATI fglrx drivers
[06:45] <eyequeue> Asc, first guess, that fs needs a serious fsck, as in, maybe you powered down and it got scrambled?
[06:45] <jUggERNAUt1980> `paul, how much ram do you have in your sys?  and is it a lappy?
[06:45] <`paul> jUggERNAUt1980: 512
[06:45] <`paul> jUggERNAUt1980: desktop
[06:45] <jUggERNAUt1980> hmm......
[06:45] <`paul> jUggERNAUt1980: im thinking maybe its tryng to connect to the rep but im behind a firewall
[06:46] <jUggERNAUt1980> `paul, my solution for that with my lappy with 256 was to install with the alternative install cd.
[06:46] <eyequeue> Asc, do you have a separate /home partition presently?
[06:46] <Asc> eyeque: It's been giving me errors on startup sometimes, something along the lines of 'cannot mount [address] , resource already allocated'
[06:46] <Asc> (for ide0)
[06:46] <eyequeue> Asc, something to consider making *if* you do end up reinstalling
[06:46] <`paul> jUggERNAUt1980: what alternative cd??? i think ive tried 3 diff cds and it always stalls on "configuring apt" :(
[06:47] <Asc> eyeque: no, but most of my files are on a seperate partition, and I backed up my hope directory to a CD when stuff stopped working earlier
[06:47] <jUggERNAUt1980> `paul, it seemed like a mem problem, but i can't see how yours would do that.
[06:47] <Asc> eyeque: guess I'll reboot and fsck
[06:47] <Asc> *home directory
[06:47] <cpw> ok what on earth
[06:47] <jUggERNAUt1980> `paul, i'll find the link for the download page.
[06:47] <cpw> So I have this deal where I'm typing something
[06:47] <`paul> jUggERNAUt1980: when installing does it connect to the net or sumthin? should i unplug my lan cable?
[06:47] <cpw> and all the sudden focus will go to the end of the line!
[06:48] <cpw> Never clicked a thing or did anything
[06:49] <jUggERNAUt1980> `paul, you can try unplugging your lan cable until after you have it installed, it may or may not work.  i wasn't connected when i installed mine.

[06:49] <kamui> wow, my experimentation with kubuntu is over forever
[06:49] <DrZeus> hi all.  Question: does anybody knows something about what happened with linuxcad???
[06:50] <kamui> man it wasn't nearly as compatible as ubuntu's gnome
[06:50] <jUggERNAUt1980> kamui, what happened with kubuntu?
[06:50] <DrZeus> maybe is old news, but i just found out!
[06:50] <Dr_willis> linuxcad? heh.  ive messed with qcad.
[06:51] <kamui> jUggERNAUt1980: well, my laptop buttons didn't work, so no volume control via buttons.  Second, I couldn't map the super key no matter what I tried.  third, whenever I edited the menu, it would revert to its original state after a reboot
[06:51] <DrZeus> Dr_willis, i tried to get some info about it for talking about it in class, but found out it doesnt exist anymore or something
[06:51] <jUggERNAUt1980> kamui, i haven't tried it yet, so i may not now.  i'm really diggin' gnome.
[06:51] <kamui> jUggERNAUt1980: did manage to hack together a working xgl with kubuntu.  but who cares if the regular features you expect dont work right?
[06:51] <`paul> jUggERNAUt1980: can i pm o just want to paste sumthin
[06:52] <kamui> jUggERNAUt1980: yea, it could just be my install, but Im definately very happy with gnome and beagle with xgl.  No point in switching again.
[06:52] <cpw> !paste
[06:52] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[06:52] <cpw> could use that instead
[06:52] <jUggERNAUt1980> kamui, that same thing happened to me with mandriva!!!  my cpu fan was software controlled ant it didn't work!!!
[06:52] <DrZeus> !linuxcad
[06:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about linuxcad - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:52] <cpw> !info linuxcad
[06:52] <jUggERNAUt1980> `paul, sure!  go ahead
[06:52] <ubotu> Package linuxcad does not exist in any distro I know
[06:52] <cpw> guess not
[06:52] <cpw> !info linux-cad
[06:52] <ubotu> Package linux-cad does not exist in any distro I know
[06:52] <cpw> nope, no deal there
[06:52] <DrZeus> i just wanted to know if it at least exists
[06:53] <jUggERNAUt1980> kamui, what lappy do you have?
[06:53] <KromiX> I have a question about using QEMU in Dapper to run windows XP, can you use it to run games etc ?
[06:54] <Dr_willis> DrZeus,  http://linuxgazette.net/issue30/wuest.html   gives a VERY VERY nasty review to LinuxCad. :P
[06:54] <DrZeus> Dr_willis, thnx for the hint.  I'll check it
[06:55] <rixth> Okie dokie! I have sound issues. If an 'older' application, say aMSN, mPlayer or Audacity tried to access the sound device when Rhythmbox is palying, it throws an error, How can I fix this?
[06:55] <Bacaruda> whats up UBUNTU people
[06:55] <jUggERNAUt1980> what's up bacaruda?
[06:55] <dfgas> !e17
[06:55] <ubotu> Enlightenment (or "E") is a window manager for X, providing a useful, and good looking graphical shell in which to work. E17 is the current development version.
[06:55] <Bacaruda> anyone by any chance get Steam to work on WINE?
[06:55] <GhostFreeman> How do I install the ATI drivers?
[06:56] <dfgas> anyone know how to get e17 installed?
[06:56] <`paul> jUggERNAUt1980: how can i install the bare minmum for ubuntu? dont want the graphical thingy
[06:56] <Sakireth> How to remove everything thar kubuntu-desktop installed?
[06:56] <kamui> wowww, i broke xchat
[06:56] <dfgas> i have been going by a howto but it would let me install 2 of the packages
[06:56] <Dr_willis> Sakireth,  not very easially - depends on how you installed it.
[06:56] <kamui> jUggERNAUt1980: sorry, anyway, I've got a compaq presario v5000 series.
[06:56] <Sakireth> Dr_willis: I installed it with kubuntu-desktop.
[06:56] <Sakireth> Dr_willis: When I tried to remove it, i removed the kde libs and kubuntu-desktop.
[06:56] <jUggERNAUt1980> 'paul, the alternative install cd is a text installer, but you definitely want gnome.
[06:57] <Somniis> GhostFreeman: www.ubuntuguide.org should have your answer
[06:57] <Dr_willis> Sakireth,  if you used aptitude then ya could perhaps remove it easially.. other wise it wil be a bit of a hassle. :P
[06:57] <Flannel> !tell GhostFreeman about ati
[06:57] <rixth> !sound
[06:57] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure alsa is selected by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (Alsa Mixer). If you are still having problems with sound, then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems
[06:57] <GhostFreeman> awesome, thanks
[06:57] <jUggERNAUt1980> kamui, i just put ubuntu on a toshiba satellite, it's verrrrry niiiiice.  had it on my old compaq presario m2000, but had issues with the broadcomm wifi.  is your chipset broadcomm?
[06:58] <tonyyarusso> Can anyone recommend topographic map software for Linux?
[06:58] <Sakireth> Dr_willis: Damn. So now I have to install KDE again to remove it?!
[06:58] <jUggERNAUt1980> google earth?
[06:58] <dooglus> lol
[06:58] <Dr_willis> Sakireth,  or fire up synaptic and start clicking...
[06:58] <eyequeue> tonyyarusso, i'd love some, if there is any :)
[06:59] <kamui> jUggERNAUt1980: yep, got it working after about 45 minutes with ndiswrapper.  There is a native broadcomm driver now, but I tried the 64bit ubuntu with it (disecting the windows driver to get the firmware as discussed) and it didn't work too well.  Apparently the 32bit version with the windows firmware works perfectly now in Dapper
[06:59] <Flannel> Sakireth: deborphan / debfoster can help
[06:59] <Sakireth> Dr_willis: And do what?
[06:59] <Dr_willis> Sakireth,  select packages,, uninstall
[06:59] <Bacaruda> nm I got it
[06:59] <Dr_willis> Sakireth,  i recall some site that mentioned how to remove the packages. they just listed the ones normally installed.
[06:59] <dfgas> e17 anyone?
[07:00] <jUggERNAUt1980> kamui, hmm....i'll have to let my friend the bastard know about that, he has my old lappy now and isn't sure if he wants to deal with that chipset.
[07:00] <Bacaruda> how about this, how do I create an SH to launch a certain file with Wine?
[07:00] <jUggERNAUt1980> kamui, is that solution posted anywhere?
[07:00] <blind> Problemmmmm.... I installed the nvidia drivers, changed my bios to use the nvidia card. Ubuntu boots fine, when gnome starts up, the monitor clicks off. I hear the little login screen, and can use ttys (what im using now), but I can't see the login screen.
[07:00] <Somniis> blind: the res might not be supported?
[07:00] <cpw> a'ight this keyboard focus thing is really starting to irritate me
[07:00] <Dr_willis> blind,  sounds like it may be set to use the old card in the x config still
[07:00] <`paul> jUggERNAUt1980: got it to work, just waited for around 30 mins till the connection timed out :p now i know its connecting to the net when installing ()
[07:01] <KromiX> umm I'm at the login screen for ubuntu, my frist installation, and its asking me for a user/password?? I dont recall it asking me for one? Is there a default?
[07:01] <tonyyarusso> eyequeue: We found something Google doesn't have any sponsored links for.
[07:01] <jUggERNAUt1980> `paul, great!  :)
[07:01] <blind> Dr_willis: I did a dpkg-reconfigure, and changed it to PCI:1:2:0 (the nvidia card, as in lspci). should i do it again now that i set the bios over?
[07:01] <Neo8750> you had to set it up durning install
[07:01] <eyequeue> tonyyarusso, heh
[07:01] <rixth> When two applications try to access the sound card, I get errors, How can I fix this?
[07:01] <Dr_willis> blind,  yea ya may want to.
[07:02] <DrZeus> Dr_willis, what an awful review
[07:02] <GenitalCombat> Question! I'm about to buy my first laptop. Are resolutions adjustable on laptop LCDs?
[07:02] <ArrenLex> Answer! Yes.
[07:02] <Neo8750> ofc
[07:02] <kamui> jUggERNAUt1980: Sorry, i lost my client, what did you just say?
[07:02] <`paul> jUggERNAUt1980: btw i forgot where do i put the proxy settings for apt?? or setting up proxy settings in gnome will do?
[07:02] <Dr_willis> DrZeus,  :) one of the harshest ive ever seen.. and  from other googling for linux cad.. seems the program is total trash.
[07:02] <blind> rixth, there's a daemon you can use, but i forget the name. someone else may know.
[07:02] <blind> rixth, possibly epd?
[07:02] <jUggERNAUt1980> kamui, hmm....i'll have to let my friend the bastard know about that, he has my old lappy now and isn't sure if he wants to deal with that chipset.
[07:02] <rixth> blind, esd?
[07:02] <Sakireth> I think this means a reinstall :(
[07:03] <jUggERNAUt1980> kamui, is that solution posted anywhere?
[07:03] <ArrenLex> Hallo sakireth.
[07:03] <GenitalCombat> ArrenLex: thx
[07:03] <Sakireth> ArrenLex: Hi.
[07:03] <eyequeue> !esd
[07:03] <ubotu> esd is the enlightened sound deamon. It's deprecated, use !alsa instead
[07:03] <jUggERNAUt1980> `paul, gnome should do nicely.
[07:03] <eyequeue> !alsa
[07:03] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure alsa is selected by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (Alsa Mixer). If you are still having problems with sound, then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems
[07:03] <DrZeus> yeah, I found out a couple of days a go.  I wanted to see if someone knew anything about it
[07:03] <DrZeus> seems to be is dead
[07:03] <Sakireth> ArrenLex: I have trouble here. Installed kubuntu-desktop and can't remove it. PC has become slow because of KDE. I tried removing kdelibs and stuff, but... not everything is gone.
[07:03] <rixth> eyequeue, alsa gives me the error described, and I have chcked those links.
[07:03] <ArrenLex> DrZeus: what is dead?
[07:03] <n0dl> does anyone here use pypanel of edgy eft? whats the command to invoke it
[07:03] <n0dl> pypanel doesnt work
[07:04] <n0dl> and i cant find it by tabbing py
[07:04] <n0dl> nor panel
[07:04] <eyequeue> n0dl, wrong channel
[07:04] <Flannel> n0dl: #ubuntu+1 for edgy questions
[07:04] <DrZeus> ArrenLex, a CAD software called LinuxCAd
[07:04] <blind> Dr_willis: just did it. It worked!! Thanks a bunch. :D
[07:04] <Dr_willis> blind,  now hit it with a hammer! :)
[07:04] <blind> Dr_willis: no no, that's if it doesn't work :P
[07:04] <ArrenLex> DrZeus: if you're looking for an autocad replacement for Linux, you're out of luck. I myself have looked deeply for such an application a year or so ago. The best I could come up with was pycad.
[07:04] <n0dl> eyequeue: alright thanx
[07:05] <Dr_willis> blind,  'preventive maintance'
[07:05] <Dr_willis> :P
[07:05] <Dr_willis> I liked qcad - but my needs are minimal
[07:05] <dfgas> e17 anyone?
[07:05] <ArrenLex> Sorry, that's pythoncad *
[07:05] <ArrenLex> !pythoncad
[07:05] <ubotu> pythoncad: Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) program. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1.26-1 (dapper), package size 400 kB, installed size 3080 kB
[07:05] <ArrenLex> And it wasn't very good.
[07:05] <blind> dfgas: not a fan. i just use fluxbox.
[07:05] <Dr_willis> !qcad
[07:06] <ubotu> qcad: A professional CAD System. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.4.0-1-2.1ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 2872 kB, installed size 12564 kB
[07:06] <Dr_willis> see qcad is 'professional' :P
[07:06] <jUggERNAUt1980> kamui, what do you use for your network managing?
[07:06] <ArrenLex> Dr_willis: pythoncad has a longer name. :P
[07:06] <Dr_willis> pythoncad  package size 400 kB, installed size 3080 kB
[07:06] <DrZeus> ArrenLex, then you at least tried and/or seen linuxcad right?
[07:06] <Dr_willis> gesh.. it expands a lot.
[07:06] <jUggERNAUt1980> kamui, apparently network-manager can't see my atheros wifi.  i'm currently using wifi-radar.
[07:06] <KromiX> whats the user name?
[07:06] <KromiX> the install just asks for a password
[07:06] <KromiX> ?
[07:07] <ArrenLex> Zeus: I donut remember it.
[07:07] <DrZeus> i see
[07:07] <Dr_willis> last version of LinuxCad - i see  is dated 2002
[07:08] <ArrenLex> Dr_willis: then I'm guessing it's abandoned.
[07:08] <DrZeus> seems to be; it was a commercial tool, so they just quit
[07:08] <mike-digiport> I installed Ubuntu on my desktop, and when it is going to the login screen, it just stays black, as if X or Gnome or something must of frozen
[07:08] <mike-digiport> Im new to ubuntu so can someone help me troubleshoot
[07:08] <mike-digiport> when I boot to rescue mode, it goes in fine, as console mode
[07:08] <ArrenLex> Mike: are you new to Linux?
[07:09] <mike-digiport> i even modified /etc/inittab to initmode 3
[07:09] <mike-digiport> and still attempts to bring up the gui login
[07:09] <Sakireth> !kde uninstall
[07:09] <ubotu> kde: the K Desktop Environment official modules. In component universe, is optional. Version 5:45ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 7 kB, installed size 40 kB
[07:09] <mike-digiport> no im not new to Linux, but im not too advanced, im just new to the diustro
[07:09] <Sakireth> !remove kde
[07:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about remove kde - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:09] <Dr_willis> ArrenLex,  that would be my guess also.
[07:09] <eyequeue> mike-digiport, ubuntu doesn't do runlevels like that, that's rpm distros
[07:09] <Sakireth> !kde
[07:09] <ubotu> KDE (http://kde.org) is the K Desktop Environment. To install from Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE for other ways to get KDE
[07:09] <mike-digiport> oh
[07:09] <ArrenLex> Sakireth, why would you want to remove KDE? :(
[07:09] <mike-digiport> I also did install kubuntu-desktop
[07:09] <aSt3raL> is there any web interface type thing for a ssh?
[07:09] <eyequeue> mike-digiport, 2=3=4=5
[07:09] <Sakireth> ArrenLex: Made things slow. Messed up my menu's.
[07:10] <jUggERNAUt1980> so i installed google earth here in ubuntu, but can't find where it is, nor do i know how to run it.  any ideas for me?
[07:10] <mike-digiport> so what is recommended?
[07:10] <eyequeue> mike-digiport, 2 is default
[07:10] <mike-digiport> I think gnome was installed, but i installed kubuntu
[07:10] <mike-digiport> and when i try to startkde from here
[07:10] <mike-digiport> it says it cannot connect to the X server (i am in rescue mode at the moment)
[07:10] <ArrenLex> mike: run startx
[07:10] <clearzen> could someone help me. I'm unable to update my system and it gives me a strange error when I run apt-get update.
[07:10] <mike-digiport> I do, when I do startx, it does the same thing that when it boots up normally
[07:10] <mike-digiport> it just stays with a cursor
[07:11] <ArrenLex> clearzen: "strange error"?
[07:11] <kamui> jUggERNAUt1980: I actually configure mine manually, using ifconfig and iwconfig
[07:11] <mike-digiport> after a fw seconds, the cursor gets solid, stops blinking
[07:11] <`paul> jUggERNAUt1980: where can i find sources list? (restricted stuffs ie. nvidia drivers)
[07:11] <Somniis> mike: you might need to configure x
[07:11] <ArrenLex> Mike: does it actually freeze or does the cursor move?
[07:11] <mike-digiport> ] the cursor blinks, but doesnt type
[07:11] <mike-digiport> but after a few seconds, the cursor stops blinking
[07:11] <kamui> jUggERNAUt1980 : I created a startup script that automatically sets my essid and then brings the interface up.  Then I dhclient it.
[07:11] <Sakireth> KDE MESSED UP MY SYSTEM!!!
[07:11] <Bacaruda> wow using Steam with no text is more of a pain then you'd think it would be
[07:11] <mike-digiport> is there a way to just manually load startkde or something???
[07:11] <Sakireth> does this mean a reinstall? :(
[07:11] <clearzen> ArrenLex:It says Errhttp://archive.canonical.com dapper-commercial Release.gpg
[07:11] <clearzen>   Could not connect to 62.117.35.196:8080 (62.117.35.196), connection timed out
[07:11] <jUggERNAUt1980> clearzen, what's the error?
[07:12] <harisund> Does anybody know how I can have Ubuntu act as a dynamic dns server .. in that my lan clients get their IPs from my ubuntu box, and as they get it my ubuntu box should have the dns updated?
[07:12] <kamui> jUggERNAUt1980 : much easier than wasting a lifetime trying to figure out whats wrong with gnome-network-manager.  its never worked for me.
[07:12] <jUggERNAUt1980> kamui, can you pastebin that script with instructions?
[07:12] <ArrenLex> clearzen: then I guess the server's down?
[07:12] <clearzen> and this Errhttp://archive.ubuntu.com dapper Release.gpg
[07:12] <mike-digiport> any tools or anything to use??
[07:12] <cartufer> harisund, i think thats a dhcp server
[07:12] <SurfnKid> will there be another release of a different type of ubuntu, like dapper or breezy
[07:12] <clearzen> I think it has to do with my gpg keys
[07:13] <harisund> cartufer: well no .. I have tried using both a stand alone dhcp server and dnsmasq.
[07:13] <kamui> jUggERNAUt1980: sure, if you really want it
[07:13] <mike-digiport> or atleast, how can I set it up so it boots kubuntu instead of the gnome environment
[07:13] <Flannel> SurfnKid: what?  edgy is coming out late october.  releases are every 6 months
[07:13] <clearzen> how do I regenerate my key cache?
[07:13] <eyequeue> harisund, sudo apt-get install dhcp3-server
[07:13] <Flannel> mike-digiport: you can change your default session at gdm/kdm
[07:13] <jUggERNAUt1980> kamui, i like connecting to random open networks, so i'm looking for a good solution for sniffing them out and connecting.
[07:13] <cartufer> or do u mean like a locked dns?
[07:13] <mike-digiport> Flannel ho that
[07:13] <Sakireth> anyone?
[07:13] <mike-digiport> how is that*
[07:13] <Sakireth> kde messed up my system! :(
[07:14] <jUggERNAUt1980> kamui, i DO really want it!  :D
[07:14] <mike-digiport> Flannel: how is that
[07:14] <Flannel> mike-digiport: there's a session selection somewhere on your login screen, that you can select your OS to boot into
[07:14] <SurfnKid> Flannel, oh right, would you recommend Edgy over Dapper or would it depend on the type of HW used
[07:14] <mike-digiport> the default session I usually choose it from the login screen
[07:14] <mike-digiport> and the login screen isnt loading up
[07:14] <Flannel> SurfnKid: well, it'll be newer.
[07:14] <mike-digiport> after the system boots, it gets black, and then acts as if it is about to bring up the login screen
[07:14] <Flannel> mike-digiport: so, you've got a gdm/kdm problem then
[07:14] <mike-digiport> but doesnt
[07:14] <mike-digiport> can you help me troubleshoot this?
[07:14] <harisund> cartufer: hmm. Ok this is what I want. My room mate connects to my ubuntu box. His Windows machine's name is 'Hestueron'. My Ubuntu's dhcp server (dhcp3-server) hands him an IP of 192.168.10.2 today, and when I say ping Hestueron it should ping 192.168.10.2. Tomorrow it might probably hand him 192.168.10.3 and when I ping hesturoen tomorrow it should correctly ping 192.168.10.3
[07:15] <Flannel> mike-digiport: or actually, that sounds like a graphics problem, or somethng of that sort, if it brings up nothing.
[07:15] <Jangsta> HeY!!
[07:15] <mike-digiport> Flannel: what do you recommend I do?
[07:15] <cartufer> ya, thats in network settings
[07:15] <Somniis> hello Jangsta
[07:15] <Jangsta> wondering if anyone's feeling in a happy spirit and can help me out?
[07:15] <cartufer> u have to make it set its own, and not automatic
[07:15] <Jangsta> trying to install ubuntu on my PC and having trouble with install :(
[07:15] <jUggERNAUt1980> are pastebin posts deleted after a certain amount of time?
[07:15] <Somniis> Jangsta: what's the problem?
[07:16] <SurfnKid> Flannel, so if i m on dapper, would it be feasible to go edgy, doing a dist upgr?
[07:16] <Flannel> SurfnKid: correct
[07:16] <Jangsta> well, it gets going... and then after a while it says this:
[07:16] <Flannel> mike-digiport: sorry, no idea.  I don't have a GUI usually, so little knowledge on troubleshooting it ;)
[07:16] <SurfnKid> cool
[07:16] <SurfnKid> i might do that
[07:16] <mike-digiport> dang
[07:16] <mike-digiport> thjnx

[07:19] <jUggERNAUt1980> kamui:  oh!  haha, i was given the one in NL
[07:19] <rixth> SunDragon, yes, in malone
[07:19] <kamui> :)
[07:19] <Jangsta> so i should not auto-detect right?
[07:19] <Somniis> yeah
[07:19] <jUggERNAUt1980> kamui, thanks for that paste.  do you know if those posts are deleted after a certain time period?
[07:19] <Somniis> well, you can
[07:19] <Jangsta> k i'll select no and attempt myself
[07:19] <Jangsta> oh
[07:20] <Somniis> if it doesn't work, just reconfigure it again :-)
[07:20] <Flannel> KromiX: login with your user (oem/whatever password), open a terminal do: sudo oem-config-prepare, then reboot
[07:20] <kamui> jUggERNAUt1980:couldn't tell you, cause I have NO IDea, but Im pretty sure they have to learn for a little whiel

[07:20] <kamui> what did I just write
[07:20] <Somniis> Jangsta: i had a similiar problem.  x wouldn't use my primary card, so i had to manually enter the pci bus and it worked fine
[07:20] <Jangsta> ahh
[07:21] <kamui> jUggERNAUt1980 : sorry, I was trying to do three things at once.  I was trying to say, I don't know how long they stay posted, but Im confident you have at least 48 hours
[07:21] <Jangsta> its asking me for the drivers, i might have to start my comp in windows to find the name of the card
[07:21] <Jangsta> its an "aftermarket" card :)

[07:21] <Lam_> AMD Turion64
[07:21] <KromiX> FLannel: i just started the re-install in text

[07:22] <Flannel> Lam_: but you grabbed the 386 install CD?  yeah, install k7.
[07:22] <Somniis> you'll like it even better when it is installed ;-)
[07:22] <Jangsta> now its asking me for the video cards bus identifier
[07:22] <SunDragon> rixth: is there an interface that will only report for the packages that are installed on my system?
[07:22] <Jangsta> im not sure...
[07:22] <Lam_> Flannel: yeah. i installed ubuntu on my computer first (and it was an Intel based processor)
[07:22] <rixth> SunDragon, not sure
[07:22] <jUggERNAUt1980> KromiX, i second that motion!  :)
[07:22] <Somniis> Jangsta: use the default it has and see if it works
[07:23] <Jangsta> ok will do
[07:23] <jUggERNAUt1980> kamui, thanks!
[07:23] <Flannel> Lam_: ah, yeah, you've got a 32 bit system then

[07:28] <Dr_willis> jUggERNAUt1980,  sounds that way..  its also in the PLF repositories it seems. :P
[07:28] <Somniis> Jangsta: no need to be sorry :-)  i just installed Ubuntu a few days ago, but i had problems with x on bootup too
[07:29] <jUggERNAUt1980> Dr_willis, plf repositories?  can i sudo apt-get it?
[07:29] <KromiX> Do you guys suggest i install kde-core on ubuntu as a new user? or does it slow the system down alot?
[07:29] <Flannel> KromiX: why do you feel the need to do that?
[07:29] <Dr_willis> jUggERNAUt1980,  I just did. :P

[07:43] <kintaro0e> bimberi_: thanks..does is support centrino?what i have read it has P4/celeron/P3/P2..?

[07:45] <jUggERNAUt1980> i know where the dr_thanks!  :)
[07:46] <fluvvell> we have a joystick on a yamaha soundcard, where do we start to set it up?  There appears to be a /dev/joy0 but flightgear / search and rescue and others don't find the joystick
[07:47] <Dr_willis> the programs may have some settings to where to look.
[07:47] <Dr_willis> I though they appeared on /dev/input/js0
[07:47] <Dr_willis> try 'cat /dev/js0' and wiggle the stick.. see if data prints out. :P
[07:47] <jUggERNAUt1980> ok, another question:  how can i set apt-get to look to my hd instead of the cdrom?
[07:47] <shinobi2> anyone compile code?
[07:48] <Dr_willis> jUggERNAUt1980,  comment out/rmove the cdrom apt line.. and it should update from the internet.
[07:48] <shinobi2> which package do i need for the "man fprintf" and other functions
[07:48] <jUggERNAUt1980> Dr_willis, location of the file?  i know i should remember that.
[07:48] <fluvvell> Dr_willis, it appears there but says no such device if I try to tail it.
[07:49] <Dr_willis> !apt-get
[07:49] <ubotu> apt is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto  -  Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[07:49] <Dr_willis> fluvvell,  perhaps a sudo cat /dev/js0
[07:50] <cpw> shinobi2: manpages-dev
[07:50] <fluvvell> Dr_willis, cat: /dev/input/js0: No such device
[07:50] <shinobi2> cpw: thanks, that's the one
[07:50] <thenetduck> can somone help me get my sudo command back?
[07:51] <Ademan> how would i go about finding low level C functions for linux? things that are generally kernel functions, like setting the user id of a proccess, or moving files around and whatnot ?
[07:51] <Dr_willis> fluvvell,  sounds like the module for the joystick may not be loaded
[07:52] <shinobi2> cpw is there another way to "man printf"? i have to "man fprintf" to get the correct printf
[07:52] <alamba> elaborate thenetduck
[07:52] <fluvvell> Dr_willis, its a YMF-724F according to lspci
[07:53] <fluvvell> Dr_willis, but I'm not sure if I have to pull more out of alsa, nor exactly what
[07:53] <mungo> hello all
[07:53] <Dr_willis> fluvvell,  this is on a sound card eh?
[07:53] <thenetduck> alamba : thanks, when I use my sudo command it gives me this error : sudo: must be setuid root
[07:53] <fluvvell> Dr_willis, correct.  Sound works beautifully
[07:53] <carlos> hola
[07:54] <Dr_willis> fluvvell,  time to google.. also the module specific to the joystick may need to be loaded.. and other related modules
[07:54] <thenetduck> alamba : I was going thew this tutorial that made it happen http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountlinux
[07:55] <thenetduck> when I typed this in sudo chown -R thenetduck:thenetduck  /media/Storage   it made that happen ....
[07:56] <alamba> thenetduck: If sudo is installed as /usr/bin/sudo, then run chmod 4111 /usr/bin/sudo - As root. If you haven't enabled the root user...then we'll need to figure out another way
[07:56] <thenetduck> alaba hu?
[07:57] <thenetduck> alamba umm sorry ... so whats wrong with it?
[07:58] <jUggERNAUt1980> what's the location of my sources.list file?

[08:12] <Jangsta> i finally got it entered
[08:12] <Jangsta> i was typing over the set :0
[08:12] <KrakensDen> w30, yeah... that isn't quite enough. I'm trying to specify that it use an ip through a specific network interface
[08:12] <Jangsta> and i just did
[08:12] <Jangsta> PCI:2:10
[08:12] <Jangsta> that worked
[08:12] <kintaro0e> hi guys..if i installed a ubuntu 6.06 and and i want to make my system to be ubuntu 6.06.1..how will i do that?
[08:12] <KrakensDen> w30, I think you might be able to do that in the URI
[08:12] <KrakensDen> w30, but I don't know how
[08:13] <nd0627> @KrakensDen apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree ... it didn't do it
[08:13] <Somniis> Jangsta: does x start now?
[08:13] <nd0627> how do you know where you installed flash
[08:13] <KrakensDen> nd0627, no?
[08:13] <Jangsta> omg :(
[08:13] <KrakensDen> nd0627, you had root/ran it with sudo, correct?
[08:14] <Jangsta> startx
[08:14] <Jangsta> failed
[08:14] <Jangsta> could vera drivers be the issue?
[08:14] <Somniis> ummm.. give an error?
[08:14] <nd0627> @KrakensDen yup.
[08:14] <Somniis> you can try vga
[08:14] <mikedep333> oh, god damnit
[08:14] <mikedep333> hello, I just bought a really new motherboard, with an intel P965 and an ICH8
[08:14] <mikedep333> is it normal for absolutely every linux cd to fail to boot off of it? they all fail to mount their filesystems off the cd
[08:14] <mikedep333> even ubuntu edgy knot3 does it!
[08:14] <KrakensDen> nd0627, did you restart your browser?
[08:14] <mikedep333> oops
[08:14] <Jangsta> XIO fatal error 104 (Connect reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
[08:14] <nd0627> @KrakensDen don't know if I really installed it
[08:14] <mikedep333> http://kerneltrap.org/node/7020
[08:14] <KrakensDen> nd0627, the inodes will stay around otherwise
[08:14] <mikedep333> it looks like I'll have to wait for linux 2.6.18
[08:14] <Somniis> hmm.  you entered PCI:2:10:0 right?
[08:15] <Jangsta> well
[08:15] <Jangsta> you know how the last :0 is anchored
[08:15] <nick_> when i go to display in system settings i get "The module Display cannot be loaded"
[08:15] <Somniis> yeah.. but put it there anyhow, can't hurt
[08:15] <Jangsta> see if i delete all thats there
[08:16] <Jangsta> and enter PCI:2:10:0
[08:16] <Jangsta> it says incorrect format
[08:16] <Jangsta> ok wait
[08:16] <Jangsta> hang on :)
[08:17] <valehru> Anyone here run xgame?  Getting the following error: Fatal server error:
[08:17] <valehru> Cannot run in framebuffer mode. Please specify busIDs        for all framebuffer devices
[08:17] <KrakensDen> nd0627, well... does it work?
[08:17] <KrakensDen> nd0627, the hardcore, hackish way of getting rid of it would be to run a `locate libflash` and then go manually remove that
[08:17] <Jangsta> BLAR :(
[08:17] <KrakensDen> nd0627, but I wouldn't do that
[08:17] <Somniis> 02:0a.0 is 2:10:0.. dunno why that doesn't work, lol, it worked for me
[08:17] <KrakensDen> nd0627, 'cause it messes with apt's head
[08:17] <Jangsta> ok wait 1 sec
[08:18] <Somniis> i have a geforce 5500
[08:18] <nick_> anybody know about "The module Display cannot be loaded" when i go to system settings > display
[08:18] <Jangsta> 0000:02:0a.0
[08:18] <Jangsta> ya thats it :(
[08:18] <Somniis> ok, what is the format used before you delete it?
[08:19] <Jangsta> its
[08:19] <Jangsta> PCI:0:2:0
[08:19] <Jangsta> and the cursor starts at the last :
[08:19] <myesterious> hihi
[08:19] <myesterious> hi
[08:19] <Jangsta> so i can only delete PCI:0:2
[08:19] <Somniis> PCI:2:10:0  is it then.. just delete everything and type it in
[08:19] <Jangsta> the last :0 stays there, and i just type over it
[08:19] <myesterious> hey, no any taskbar on gnome , How can i get back ?
[08:19] <Somniis> ohh
[08:19] <Somniis> probably an artifact, perhaps
[08:19] <Jangsta> hmm :|
[08:19] <Jangsta> i can backspace even PAST the PCI
[08:20] <myesterious> I can see all icon on desktop but no any taskbar.
[08:20] <Jangsta> it makes more blue space
[08:20] <Jangsta> 2 spaces back
[08:20] <Somniis> :\
[08:20] <Jangsta> if i enter PCI:2:10:0 then, it works and continues
[08:20] <Somniis> ok, well continue it and see if x will start after
[08:21] <Somniis> if you already haven't :-)
[08:21] <Jangsta> i have but i'll try again
[08:21] <Jangsta> ok, ive deleted as far back as i can go
[08:21] <Jangsta> there's nothing there
[08:21] <Jangsta> and ive entered
[08:21] <Jangsta> PCI:2:10:0
[08:21] <Jangsta> so i'll press enter and continue through
[08:22] <Somniis> yeah, hope that works lol
[08:22] <Jangsta> should i
[08:22] <Jangsta> Use kernel framebuffer device interface
[08:22] <Somniis> does it come up with the integrated chip name when it comes to that part?
[08:22] <Somniis> yeah
[08:22] <Jangsta> yes it does
[08:22] <Jangsta> the part before entering the bus id
[08:22] <Jangsta> it lists my integrated chip
[08:22] <Somniis> did you type in the 5200 name?
[08:22] <Jangsta> omg -_-
[08:22] <Jangsta> <-------- IDIOT
[08:23] <Somniis> don't think that matters, but i did it anyhow lol
[08:23] <Somniis> lol
[08:23] <Jangsta> i havnt been
[08:23] <Jangsta> wow ok
[08:23] <Jangsta> ok wtf
[08:23] <Jangsta> it just kicked me out to a black screen, like it did before and i gotta restard lol
[08:23] <Somniis> what?
[08:23] <Jangsta> it hates me
[08:23] <Somniis> hmm.
[08:23] <mikedep333> ok, I found out that some people have put kernel 2.6.18 on dapper, where can I get this?
[08:23] <Jangsta> it kicks me out to the black loading screen sometimes
[08:24] <Jangsta> that has all the [ok] 
[08:24] <Jangsta> things
[08:24] <kraut> moin
[08:24] <mikedep333> !kernel
[08:24] <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
[08:24] <ppcguy> hey all.. friend of mine just tried to remove icewm w/ rm -fr /dir now he's getting an error that his home dir is gone.. any ideas?
[08:24] <levander> Did they drop the backports project in dapper?
[08:24] <levander> I don't see dapper-backports on packages.ubuntu.com
[08:25] <XaXXon> does ubuntu live cd 6.06 not work with ati cards?  I had an nvidia board in and it booted.. I just swapped it out for an ati board and it drops to command line
[08:25] <mikedep333> XaXXon: what ati card do you have?
[08:25] <XaXXon> 1900xt
[08:25] <zaggynl> Anyone knows a filemon like app for Ubuntu?
[08:25] <levander> XaXXon: ATI cards are commonly more difficult to configure than nVidia cards, a lot of people ahve that problem
[08:25] <XaXXon> set vbe mode failed
[08:25] <mikedep333> it might not support the x1000 series like you have
[08:26] <levander> nVidia support on Linux is better than ATI's
[08:26] <XaXXon> ok
[08:26] <XaXXon> I guess I'll swap it back in.. at least for the time being
[08:26] <XaXXon> thanks
[08:26] <mikedep333> np
[08:26] <mikedep333> I'm in a worse situation
[08:26] <XaXXon> halt
[08:26] <XaXXon> oops
[08:26] <mikedep333> linux doesnt like my motherboard yet
[08:26] <ppcguy> hey all.. friend of mine just tried to remove icewm w/ rm -fr /dir now he's getting an error that his home dir is gone.. any ideas?

[08:30] <Jangsta> omGGGGGGo
[08:30] <Jangsta> GOMFGG FG :(
[08:30] <Somniis> what?
[08:30] <Jangsta> its making me restart again

[08:31] <Jangsta> i push ok
[08:31] <Somniis> i don't know.  i didn't have that problem during config :(
[08:31] <Jangsta> blar ok
[08:31] <usama> hi all
[08:31] <Somniis> sorry.   have you tried looking at the ubuntu forums for help?
[08:32] <Jangsta> well i think we may have it
[08:32] <usama> http://pastebin.com/793867 <----  kindly help me
[08:32] <Jangsta> i just forgot to enter my card before
[08:32] <Jangsta> the nVidia part
[08:32] <levander> Can someone tell me how to figure out what packages are in dapper-backports?
[08:32] <Jangsta> any reason i should start in safe graphics mode?
[08:32] <Somniis> i entered "NVIDIA GeForceFX 5500" on mine and it worked
[08:32] <Jangsta> or just go Start or install Ubuntu
[08:32] <Jangsta> yeah i forgot to do that
[08:32] <Jangsta> so i was doing that just now
[08:32] <Jangsta> before i booted me
[08:32] <Somniis> just start
[08:33] <Jangsta> so i want to get through this, nice and clean
[08:33] <Jangsta> and if it still makes that error
[08:33] <Jangsta> i'll sleep on it and do what i can tomorow
[08:33] <Somniis> not sure why it boots ya.   you can always re-install it, lol
[08:33] <Jangsta> yeah ist re-installing now
[08:33] <Jangsta> its weird because it boots me back to the black screen that has all the [ok] 
[08:33] <Jangsta> then im powerless there
[08:33] <Somniis> hmm
[08:33] <ISOLATEDViRuS> when i plug stuff into my usb port, it wont show up. whats wrong?
[08:33] <Jangsta> so i restart, get back to the error
[08:34] <mikedep333> can anyone tell me what the url is for the main ubuntu mirror?
[08:34] <Jangsta> and i can then re-enter config
[08:34] <Jangsta> its re-installing now "adding live cd user"
[08:34] <mikedep333> or how to get kernel 2.6.18 on an existing ubuntu install?
[08:34] <JairunCaloth> is there anyone really good with shell scripts around?
[08:35] <butleR`> I saw a post on the forums earlier about sound only being available to one program at a time, anyone know how to fix it?
[08:35] <JairunCaloth> what driver are you using?
[08:35] <butleR`> I can't remember >.<
[08:36] <JairunCaloth> well I'm not positive
[08:36] <JairunCaloth> but I think OSS dosn't support it. but ALSA does
[08:36] <usama> http://pastebin.com/793867
[08:36] <JairunCaloth> and you can use oss through also to get it to work by using aoss
[08:36] <butleR`> i think i'm using OSS
[08:36] <JairunCaloth> if you have alsa
[08:37] <JairunCaloth> I'm just a noob though
[08:37] <JairunCaloth> so I'll probably run you in circles when the answer is staring you in the face
[08:37] <Z310N> does anyone know LFS project? do i need to be a programmer to use it? what is expected to use the LFS project?
[08:38] <w30> I can't use cups html administration (port 631) or swat html administration (port 901) because I don't have a root password. How do I fix that?
[08:38] <Jangsta> ook
[08:38] <Jangsta> cross your fingers
[08:38] <nocti> somebody on a different channel said python=ubuntu, perl=debian... how is this so?
[08:38] <Jangsta> well, umm..
[08:38] <Somniis> hope it works Jangsta lol
[08:38] <Jangsta> no error message
[08:38] <drunk_hobo> ok i did apt-get instal xubuntu-desktop, and everything still loks the same
[08:38] <JairunCaloth> w30: sounds like a user problem
[08:38] <Jangsta> lol but a blank, black screen
[08:39] <Jangsta> maybe its loading -_- :|
[08:39] <Somniis> man.  it's just not liking you at all eh?
[08:39] <JairunCaloth> you have to log into the xubuntu hobo
[08:39] <Jangsta> yah :(

[08:39] <Jangsta> let me try something
[08:39] <drunk_hobo> how?
[08:39] <Jangsta> im gunna unplug my monitor from the back of my comp
[08:39] <Jangsta> and plug it into another slot
[08:39] <grobber> can somebody help me? problem is that grub dont detect windows xp
[08:39] <Jangsta> can i do this while its running
[08:39] <JairunCaloth> should be a box that lets you choose session
[08:40] <drunk_hobo> ok let me check
[08:40] <Somniis> hmm
[08:40] <Jangsta> my card has 2 slots
[08:40] <Jangsta> right now its doing what
[08:40] <w30> JairunCaloth, Ubuntu says don't have a root password, just use sudo, however How do I use suco in a browser password window??
[08:40] <Somniis> ya, lol, i used to have a 5200
[08:40] <Jangsta> it has 2 slots so im gunna
[08:40] <Jangsta> take it out of the 1
[08:40] <w30> suco/sudo
[08:40] <Jangsta> and put it in the other
[08:40] <Jangsta> hopefully my monitor turns on
[08:40] <Somniis> might not turn on
[08:40] <JairunCaloth> w30: I have no idea...
[08:40] <Jangsta> :\
[08:40] <JairunCaloth> w30: my question is accually similar to that
[08:41] <zaggynl> Anyone knows a GUI alternative to Filemon for Windows
[08:41] <JairunCaloth> I would like to know how to use sudo in my command box on my taskbar.
[08:41] <w30> JairunCaloth, What's the problem you are faced with?
[08:42] <Z310N> can one start on LFS project with no paticular linux nor programming knowledge only learning from the official tutorial?
[08:42] <Jangsta> lol man
[08:42] <Jangsta> no error but no monitor screen! what a headache
[08:42] <JairunCaloth> I have a command box on my taskbar, but I can't use sudo from it because it dosn't prompt me for my password, seeing how it dosn't have a terminal screen
[08:43] <Madpilot> JairunCaloth, use gksudo rather than just sudo
[08:43] <JairunCaloth> what is gksudo?
[08:43] <JairunCaloth> sweet, that's exactly what I needed Madpilot, thanks
[08:44] <w30> JairunCaloth, I think there is something missing in this sudo scheme of Ubuntu and it's time to add ole' ruuooot to Ubuntu and the hell wit security. just have a good password.
[08:44] <totalnewb> hi
[08:44] <Somniis> Jangsta, if all else fails, try plugging your monitor into the integrated slot :\
[08:44] <Ademan> is there a chart anywhere of different proccessors and the instruction sets they support?
[08:44] <JairunCaloth> w30, I raelly have no idea. I still consider myself very much a linux noob
[08:44] <totalnewb> i have a very stupid question if anyone cares to answer
[08:45] <Z310N> anybody knows what it takes to start the linux from scratch project?
[08:45] <JairunCaloth> Ademan, have you checked out manufacture webpages?
[08:45] <jUggERNAUt1980> is there a way i can share my net connection through my box with an xp thing?
[08:45] <totalnewb> i upgraded to edgy from dapper, but now on my desktop there are 2 icons of each partition
[08:45] <Ademan> JairunCaloth: I'm looking for a unified chart that will make it easy to compare them
[08:45] <Madpilot> totalnewb, #ubuntu+1 for Edgy questions
[08:45] <totalnewb> thank you
[08:46] <jUggERNAUt1980> i use wifi, and want to be able to use my sys as a "router" so my friend can get online too.
[08:46] <irawan> Z310N: www.linuxfromscratch.???
[08:46] <Madpilot> Z310N, try #lfs
[08:47] <levander> Didn't there used to be a ubuntu-backports channel on freenode?
[08:47] <Z310N> irawan its a .org site
[08:47] <thenetduck> can someone help me edit the /etc/sudoers file?
[08:47] <thenetduck> I need to add a person
[08:48] <Flannel> thenetduck: You have a gui?
[08:48] <thenetduck> or a user
[08:48] <thenetduck> Flannel no im running in recover mode ..
[08:48] <levander> thenetduck: you can't just mimick the existing syntax for other users?
[08:48] <levander> thenetduck: just guess the syntax based on what's already in there
[08:48] <jUggERNAUt1980> can anyone help me with this issue?
[08:48] <levander> thenetduck: cp the file over to make a backup
[08:48] <zaggynl> Anyone knows a filemon alternative?
[08:48] <thenetduck> levander there are currently no sudoers .... i think
[08:49] <Jangsta> hey
[08:49] <Jangsta> is there any way to get to that config
[08:49] <Jangsta> without trying to install
[08:49] <levander> thenetduck: by default, ubuntu has a sudo user
[08:49] <Jangsta> like, can i open that config BEFORE i try installing
[08:49] <Somniis> i don't think so Jangsta
[08:49] <Flannel> Jangsta: which config?
[08:49] <Jangsta> damn
[08:49] <Jangsta> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:50] <thenetduck> levander ya but I somehow deleted it ... I was doing a tutorial .... http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountlinux got to the second to last command and it erased my sudo account...
[08:50] <Somniis> he's having problems getting x to start up, Flannel
[08:50] <fredzer> hi
[08:51] <Jangsta> yeah and its frustrating because
[08:51] <Flannel> Jangsta: you can grab the alternate ISO and install without a GUI, then you'll be able to edit it sans X
[08:51] <w30> thenetduck, try "man visudo"
[08:51] <Jangsta> that might be the way to go
[08:51] <Jangsta> i like the GUI :) but not this headache
[08:51] <Jangsta> when im in that config
[08:51] <maryham> hello
[08:51] <Jangsta> is there a way to go back
[08:51] <fredzer> what do i do with source files once i have downloaded em :S
[08:51] <Jangsta> to the previous optio
[08:51] <levander> thenetduck: try 'dpkg-reconfigure --config sudo' (i think you need the --config option, not sure)
[08:51] <munch0> could anybody help me out with a font problem i'm having
[08:51] <levander> thenetduck: that will rerun sudo config
[08:52] <thenetduck> great ok thanks
[08:52] <levander> munch0: on freenode, just ask your question as concisely as possibly, hopefully someone can help
[08:52] <munch0> oki
[08:52] <levander> thenetduck: that's a guess, no idea if it'll work
[08:52] <maryham> I have error 102 for samba. Need help
[08:52] <fredzer> what do i do with source files once i have downloaded them :S
[08:52] <Cyraq> hi, i'm the guy who commented negatively on ubuntu yesterday, i must state that i was talking about a 3.* version of ubuntu, and that now that i've tried version 6.*, i find that it really is a great linux distro.
[08:52] <lillpelle> Jangsta: please write the whole sentence before you hit Enter.
[08:53] <Jangsta> Somnis is there a way to go back, when you're in that config
[08:53] <Jangsta> to the previous screen
[08:53] <thenetduck> levander... here maby im trying to fix the wrong problem.... ok this is way the output says every time I try to use a sudo command  ..... sudo: must be setuid root
[08:53] <Somniis> i would hope so :-)
[08:53] <Flannel> Cyraq: 3.* was never a version, just so you know.  but glad you are having better luck with the newer ones (they're year.month, by the way, not version numbers)
[08:53] <fredzer> what do i do with source files once i have downloaded then, how do i get them to work?
[08:53] <fredzer> i have tried everything and make command doesn't exitst
[08:53] <bartmon> Hi. What's the deal with so many kernel updates? I have 2.6.15-26.47 and 2.6.15-27.48 listed as upgradeable.
[08:54] <Somniis> lol i honestly don't remember, Jangsta.  i just pressed enter all the way through except for naming the card and the pci bus.
[08:54] <Flannel> bartmon: bug fixes
[08:54] <Flannel> !tell fredzer about compile
[08:54] <munch0> i just installed some gtk2.x themes, which buggered with my font sizes, when i changed it back to my default theme it didnt change my fonts back to normal, now my font size for sans 7 is actually sans 5, but in mozilla (for the menus & bookmarks) it has sans 7 normally (not as sans 5), all the text in terminal is also really tiny, how to i fix this back to default settings, if i change my user interface font to sans 9, thats actually sans 7, 
[08:55] <Cyraq> Flannel: well, it was a really old version, so i asmed it to be 3. something
[08:55] <Cyraq> so, 6.06 (current) is released june, 2006?
[08:55] <Jangsta> LOL GOD WHAT IS MY CURSE

[08:55] <Jangsta> its working!!!!!!!!!
[08:56] <Cyraq> Flannel: do you recommend me installing ubuntu now, or do you think a new version will be released soon?
[08:56] <Somniis> very nice :-) good job
[08:56] <bartmon> Flannel: OK, so the newest kernel is definitely the way to go. But why is the old version also shown then?
[08:56] <munch0> :|
[08:56] <selinuxium> !enter > Jangsta
[08:56] <Jangsta> Somniis, that was all you
[08:56] <Jangsta> thankyou SOOOO much

[08:56] <fredzer> ok this bot is telling me to use the make command ... when it doest exist
[08:56] <Somniis> not a problem :-)
[08:56] <bartmon> under possible updates
[08:56] <CyberFlas> Hey guys i got a quick question...today i switched to e17 but the volume buttons on my laptop dont control the volume anymore...they used to work in kde and gnome but not xfce or e17...does anyone know how to fix this
[08:56] <Flannel> fredzer: before it tells you to use the make command, it mentions you installing build-essential
[08:56] <selinuxium> Jangsta: :)
[08:57] <fredzer> ok
[08:57] <bartmon> Flannel: under possible updates
[08:57] <Flannel> bartmon: I'm not sure.  That seems odd though.
[08:58] <bartmon> Flannel: Yeah. If i view updates via the GUI Update Manager it shows 10 upgrades but via aptitude it only shows 6 upgrades.
[08:58] <CyberFlas> nobody has any ideas?
[08:59] <Flannel> bartmon: that's very odd.  You might file a bug about it.
[08:59] <bartmon> Flannel: Bah, I'm using a custom compiled kernel anyway :P
[08:59] <Jangsta> now how do i open up a editor :)
[09:00] <bartmon> nano/gedit &
[09:00] <Jangsta> like pico :)
[09:00] <Somniis> applications -> acc -> gedit
[09:00] <Flannel> Jangsta: pico isn't in ubuntu, nano is.
[09:00] <Jangsta> oh ok
[09:00] <Flannel> Jangsta: pico (and pine, for that matter) aren't Free, nano and mutt are their OS equivalents
[09:01] <fredzer> so for the make command it would be "./configure make install"
[09:01] <Jangsta> ahhh ok... thanks
[09:01] <Jangsta> how do i find nano
[09:02] <Flannel> fredzer: no, ./configure then make then make install
[09:02] <Flannel> Jangsta: just type nano, you don't need to find it
[09:02] <Jangsta> im on the GUI
[09:02] <Somniis> go in the terminal and type it
[09:02] <Jangsta> oh
[09:02] <Jangsta> gotcha
[09:02] <Somniis> :-)
[09:02] <Flannel> Jangsta: ah, you can also use gedit, but use gksudo with graphical apps, instead of normal sudo
[09:03] <fredzer> but when i type in make install it says  command no found
[09:03] <Jangsta> oh ok, thanks
[09:03] <fredzer> command not found*
[09:03] <Flannel> fredzer: then the program you downloaded doesn't have a make file, apparently.
[09:03] <bartmon> fredzer: Which command wasn't found?
[09:03] <fredzer> make
[09:04] <bartmon> See Flannel's response then
[09:04] <bartmon> No!
[09:04] <bartmon> Does this mean you don't have a compiler?
[09:04] <fredzer> a what ?
[09:04] <Flannel> fredzer: have you still not installed build-essential?
[09:04] <bartmon> Try "gcc".
[09:04] <fredzer> ok
[09:05] <Flannel> bartmon: I believe the make-sans-BE error is 'cannot create executables'
[09:05] <CyberFlas> does anybody know how to get volume control buttons to work in different wm's?
[09:06] <Flannel> CyberFlas: you'll have to ask e17 people regarding enlightenment
[09:06] <Cyraq> i have a qeustion: where does canonical get all the money to ship all those cd's from a free linux distro?
[09:06] <fredzer> but that comes in source format too
[09:07] <Flannel> Cyraq: Mark Shuttleworth
[09:07] <Cyraq> mark shuttleworth?
[09:07] <MTecknology> DBO, I NEED YOU!!!
[09:08] <bartmon> Cyraq: Founder of Canonical :)
[09:08] <Cyraq> oh
[09:08] <Cyraq> and where does he get all that money ?:)
[09:08] <jUggERNAUt1980> can anybody help me find the drivers for an atheros 5212 wifi card?

[09:10] <Locke> says it cant copy my Xauthority file
[09:10] <Flannel> Locke: you've used sudo with graphical apps before? (as opposed to gksudo?)
[09:11] <Locke> Flannel, yeah, tons of times
[09:11] <Locke> only has happened since right before i upgraded the whole thing
[09:11] <Flannel> Locke: right, that's why.  use gksudo isntead, you'll need to chown your .Xauth fle back to you
[09:11] <Locke> switched mobo, processor, ram
[09:11] <Locke> so gksudo synaptic?

[09:12] <bartmon> Argh, I hate upgrading official kernels in Ubuntu! :( ATM I have 2 kernels, one custom compiled and another which is official. Now I have the option to upgrade the official one (2.6.15-26) and install another official kernel (2.6.15-27).
[09:13] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> people

[09:13] <Somniis> please elaborate, Punjabi :-)
[09:13] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> Somniis: i feel that my MP3s are more clear than in windows
[09:13] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> is it me or is it for real?
[09:14] <Flannel> Locke: chown it back to you, from root.  We had a factoid.. I suppose its gone now
[09:14] <lastnode_> PunjabiFLOYDIAN, that's wierd, a friend said that too
[09:14] <Yasuo> hi, i have installed ubuntu dapper amd64, i have no pictures in openoffice :/
[09:14] <bartmon> PunjabiFLOYDIAN: mOST LIKELY AN EQUALIZER EFFECT
[09:14] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> lastnote_: still!
[09:14] <lastnode_> maybe the lip
[09:14] <bartmon> Whoops, sorry for Caps
[09:14] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> bartmon: but still. the voice looks like 7.1 channel
[09:14] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> on windows it sucked
[09:14] <Somniis> windows sucks in general when you switch to ubuntu :-)
[09:15] <bartmon> PunjabiFLOYDIAN: So which applications do you use for playback in both Oss?
[09:15] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> Somniis: seriously. i earlier used to dual boot. now i removed windows
[09:15] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> bartmon: using XMMS in ubuntu. and used Winamp in Windows. I swear
[09:15] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> the sound clarity is really realy better
[09:15] <jUggERNAUt1980> Somniis, i totally agree with you!!
[09:15] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> i m hearing sounds never heard before. LMAO
[09:15] <Yasuo> .
[09:15] <tengil> how do i get my internal boxes to ident correctly with oidentd? at the moment they wont ident at all and i resolved that with adding -r myident when starting oidentd, but i dont want it to have the same ident for everything
[09:16] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> is it really possible?
[09:16] <bartmon> PunjabiFLOYDIAN: Have you tried any other programs for playback, like totem?
[09:16] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> bartmon: tried. but it was not playing MP3s.
[09:16] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> had it been possible, i would have shown u the difference
[09:16] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> even my mom says so. LOL.
[09:16] <bartmon> that's weird, my totem plays mp3s
[09:17] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> LOL
[09:17] <Madpilot> PunjabiFLOYDIAN, you know that Ubuntu doesn't play mp3 out of the box, right?
[09:17] <bartmon> I dunno what to say, enjoy it! :D
[09:17] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> Madpilot: i dont have totem. i use XMMS.

People aren't ignored, it's the common use that if no-one answers it's because they don't know, otherwise the channel would be flodded with "No idea" "I don't know" kind of replies. Sooo ask you question, if no-one asnwers ask again at a later time where perhaps the usergroup has changed. An

[09:48] <cafuego> apeman2020: 'kubuntu-desktop'
[09:49] <tengil> how do i get oidentd setup so my internal boxes will get an ident too?
[09:50] <chamunks> maybe so but i have inserted other disks that are not commercial??
[09:51] <ringerc> Hi folks. Hoping for a bit of help ... gdm on Ubuntu doesn't seem to authenticate users correctly over LDAP with a suitable libpam-ldap/libnss-ldap setup, though sshd, xdm, etc do. My gdm config and ldap config are equivalent to what works prefectly on my existing Debian 3.1 servers.
[09:51] <ringerc> Ideas?
[09:52] <zaggynl> can you check if the use zaggynl does exist?
[09:52] <zaggynl> I can't login anymore
[09:53] <ajmitch> ringerc: errors in logs? restarted gdm properly?
[09:53] <zaggynl> oops wrong channel
[09:53] <ringerc> ajmitch: Yes, gdm was restarted. No, no errors in the logs. The tcpdump suggests it's not querying the LDAP server for the user at all IIRC - it was a few days since I looked at that.
[09:54] <ajmitch> is nscd running?
[09:54] <ringerc> ajmitch: ... and since gdm uses pam, if LDAP auth works for sshd, xdm, etc it should work for gdm too
[09:54] <ajmitch> yes, but I've seen gdm cache stuff & magically start working
[09:54] <ringerc> nope
[09:54] <ajmitch> which was very annoying when I tried setting things up
[09:54] <ringerc> interesting
[09:55] <ringerc> I don't use nscd on any of my other servers, but might give it a try just in case it works around anything odd that gdm might be doing
[09:55] <cafuego> gdm? broken? whatcha talking about, ajmitch? are you on crack? ;-)
[09:55] <ajmitch> cafuego: quiet you
[09:55] <ringerc> hehe
[09:55] <apeman2020> how do i tell ubuntu which nic to use?
[09:55] <ringerc> To be honest I'm only trying to get it working so I can see if it still has the bug where it just zombies out after a few days of uptime when it's used as an XDMCP terminal server
[09:56] <ringerc> I'll probably stick to ugly-but-reliable XDM for production; I'm interested in this as much as anything to determine if this is in fact a bug and report it as such if it is.
[09:56] <ringerc> apeman2020: It should be able to use *all* your NICs. Do you want to disable all but one?
[09:56] <hayden> apeman2020, if you have a GUI and using gnome go to System->Administration->Networking and you can activate or deactivate a nic
[09:56] <ringerc> apeman2020: or perhaps use a particular one for an Internet service like PPPoE ?
[09:56] <butleR`> anyone here have any experience running ventrilo through wine?
[09:57] <apeman2020> no gui..
[09:57] <apeman2020> ringerc: no gui, command line
[09:57] <ringerc> ajmitch: thanks for the tip re nscd btw, I hadn't considered that ... and I wasn't aware gdm did dodgy auth caching stuff internally either.
[09:57] <hayden> apeman2020, you'll have to edit /etc/network/interfaces
[09:57] <apeman2020> i think i need to set it up..
[09:57] <chamunks> ok so anyone have any ideas on how i could possibly diagnose why my dvdram drive wont read my cd
[09:57] <ringerc> chamunks: Anything in `dmesg' or the kernel logs?
[09:58] <chamunks> im not sure where i would find that info
[09:58] <apeman2020> hayden: unknown mime type
[09:58] <chamunks> ringerc pm me
[09:58] <chamunks> pls
[09:58] <hayden> apeman2020, when do you get that msg?
[09:59] <butleR`> Can anyone explain failed to create directinput object for monitoring press to talk for ventrilo?
[09:59] <apeman2020> using edit /etc
[09:59] <apeman2020> i just used vim
[09:59] <apeman2020> no worries
[09:59] <apeman2020> so
[09:59] <apeman2020> how can i see what nics i have?
[09:59] <ringerc> ifconfig -a
[10:00] <ringerc> or `ip link show'
[10:00] <sanek> how can i play mp3 and avi?
[10:01] <ringerc> sanek: See the FAQ in the topic
[10:02] <treedreamer> sanek,just install "Listen"
[10:02] <tonyyarusso> What's a nic called sit0?
[10:02] <ringerc> tonyyarusso: tunneling device; it's a virtual interface
[10:02] <tonyyarusso> ringerc: What for?  It hasn't been there before that I've noticed.
[10:03] <apeman2020> ringerc: how do i edit the interfaces?
[10:03] <MrNaz> not sure if this is the right place to ask this: when i view the page in firefox under linux, the iframe causes the "Save As" dialog to pop up to save the file... is there a PDF viewer that can spawn within a web browser under linux?
[10:03] <ringerc> Did you use "ifconfig -a" or "ifconfig"? If the former, you probably use only the latter normally, which only shows interfaces that are up.
[10:03] <ringerc> tonyyarusso: You do not need to worry about sit0 on most systems, just ignore it.
[10:04] <chamunks> k sorry for my noobishness i got the dmesg umm what would i be looking for in particular??
[10:04] <apeman2020> ringerc: ifconfig -a
[10:04] <ringerc> apeman2020: /etc/network/interfaces ; man interfaces
[10:04] <tonyyarusso> All right
[10:05] <ringerc> It's important to understand that /etc/network/interfaces controls how interfaces are bought up and down; ifconfig and friends control only their current state. Changes you make using ifconfig etc are cleared on reboot.
[10:05] <|thunder> where can I download the 6.06.1(or whatever) ISO ?  All I can find is regular 6.06
[10:06] <apeman2020> ringerc: i am using  view /etc/network/interfaces
[10:07] <Madpilot> |thunder, http://releases.ubuntu.com/6.06.1/
[10:07] <ringerc> apeman2020: OK... well, to change how Ubuntu will set up the network on boot, you modify that file according to the documentation in "man interfaces", then restart the networking services (in /etc/init.d/ )
[10:08] <|thunder> Madpilot; thanks alot
[10:08] <apeman2020> ringerc: if i want to define dhcp as opposed to static i would say
[10:08] <apeman2020> iface eth? inet dhcp?
[10:08] <ringerc> apeman2020: "man interfaces"
[10:08] <apeman2020> thanks
[10:08] <ringerc> ;-)
[10:09] <Ackeubu_> hey, i have an issue with evolution password. It does not remember even if im marking remember password every time i use password. and remember password is marked in preferences.
[10:10] <EXED> Hi there, Im new to all this IRC thing, do I just type my problem here? or somthing like that?
[10:10] <Ackeubu_> EXED read the manual
[10:10] <Ackeubu_> EXED, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRCResourcePage
[10:10] <EXED> ok....which is ..where?
[10:10] <EXED> oh thx
[10:10] <sanek> how can i install Midnight Commander???
[10:11] <Ackeubu_> sudo apt-get install mc
[10:11] <Ackeubu_> ?
[10:11] <cafuego> yes
[10:11] <sanek> kk
[10:12] <sanek> Can't find mc :((
[10:12] <cobbweb_> can anyone help me please??? I need someone to work with me that understands I don't know a whole lot ...
[10:13] <Ackeubu_> cobbweb_: what do you you need help with?
[10:13] <|thunder> sanek; try this 'apt-cache search midnight'  is it in the list ?
[10:14] <cobbweb_> Ackeubu_ :) thanks, I was following this tutorialhttp://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountlinux and got to the second to last line....
[10:14] <cobbweb_> then my computer thought for a while then when i tried to do the last line for that tutorial
[10:14] <cobbweb_> it gives me this error message
[10:15] <cobbweb_> Ackeubu_ on second... trying to get that message again ...
[10:15] <cobbweb_> Ackeubu_ well it won't let me use the sudo command
[10:15] <cobbweb_> Ackeubu_ and now I can't even open programs .... aah..
[10:16] <cobbweb_> i dont know what to do ...
[10:16] <cobbweb_> cant open programs, cant use sudo
[10:16] <cobbweb_> says i have to log into "root"
[10:17] <chamunks> wow the people in here have ALLOT of patients
[10:17] <user42> yes root is the administrator account, your user account does not have administrator privelages... apparently..
[10:18] <chamunks> you all have allot of my respect for it 2 any ways im going to see if i can find another way to get these darn files off the disk here ciao
[10:19] <cobbweb_> man I don't think Linux is for me ...
[10:19] <teckfatt> hello, anyone know any good software to convert AVI to mpeg (video compression formats)???
[10:19] <user42> if you are using ubuntu and have just installed, the way I have found to set the root password... is to boot into recovery mode which drops you into a root login point... or if you have not yet set a root password logs you in as root... at which point you may then set a root password using the root command... is there a better way to do that? initially set the root password I mean..
[10:19] <user42> erm... the passwd command... not the root command.. heh
[10:19] <ringerc> teckfatt: mencoder? transcode?
[10:19] <ringerc> teckfatt: Both useful, but with *AWFUL* user interfaces
[10:19] <Chousuke> user42: There is no need to set the root password on Ubuntu
[10:19] <user42> say I wish to set a root passwd...
[10:20] <Chousuke> user42: however, if you really want to, sudo passwd does the trick
[10:20] <ringerc> teckfatt: ... and that's coming from someone who works on the cmdline almost always
[10:20] <Chousuke> it's not recommended though.
[10:20] <user42> ahah... thanks Chousuke... :)
[10:20] <cobbweb_> Chousuke I cant type sudo in though
[10:20] <cobbweb_> it doesn't let me
[10:20] <Chousuke> hmm?
[10:20] <cobbweb_> every time I type sudo in it tells me that i have to be root to use that command
[10:20] <user42> having used linux for ten years... it would be nice to use it in a way that is recognizable to how it used to be...
[10:20] <Ackeubu_> cobbweb_: you might want to logg into recoverymode as user42 said
[10:20] <teckfatt> ringerc: thank you so much.....i have a look on both software now
[10:20] <user42> more and more "userfriendly" all the time
[10:21] <Chousuke> cobbweb_: er
[10:21] <Tomcat_> user42: It's better from a security standpoint as well.
[10:21] <Chousuke> cobbweb_: that doesn't sound right.
[10:21] <cobbweb_> It's that stupid tutorials fault located here
[10:21] <apeman2020> cobbweb: type sudo -i
[10:21] <cobbweb_> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountlinux
[10:21] <Chousuke> However, I really have to hurry away now. See you later.
[10:22] <cobbweb_> apeman2020 ok one second I need to reboot :)
[10:22] <apeman2020> cobbweb_: k!
[10:23] <zaggynl> anyone knows an ubuntu or debian package for glsof?
[10:24] <cobbweb_> apeman2020 ok it says sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 077, should be 0440
[10:24] <cobbweb_> 0775*
[10:24] <jUggERNAUt1980> i tried setting my box up so i could share my connection with my friend who brought his win2000 system over, and followed the instructions on a howto page, but it didn't work.  i did something wrong, but don't know what it is.  can someone help me out with a solution?
[10:25] <ringerc> jUggERNAUt1980: Which page would be useful to know...
[10:25] <ringerc> jUggERNAUt1980: and were you trying to use his win2k system as the gateway, or your Ubuntu box?
[10:25] <apeman2020> does anyone in here have experience setting up VHOSTS in apache2?
[10:26] <cobbweb_> apeman2020 I can't even use sudo on my root account ...errrrr
[10:26] <jUggERNAUt1980> ringerc, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-91370.html
[10:26] <jUggERNAUt1980> ringerc, i was trying to use my box as the gateway.
[10:26] <apeman2020> cobbweb_:  if you are logged in as root, then you dont need ;)
[10:26] <cobbweb_> apeman2020 oh... it gives me that same error message if i type just sudo in to ......
[10:27] <jUggERNAUt1980> i connect to my downstairs neighbor's router via wifi, tho.  would that matter?
[10:27] <apeman2020> try su
[10:27] <hantu> apeman2020: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocalhostSubdomain
[10:27] <ringerc> apeman2020: If it's like the configuration in Debian (I don't use Ubuntu in production yet) you just create a file in /etc/apache2/sites-available that declares the vhost
[10:27] <cobbweb_> so i guess i need to change it to be 0440 ??/ apeman2020
[10:27] <ringerc> apeman2020: then link it to sites-enabled . the vhost is pretty ordinary apache config; see the NameVirtualHost and <VirtualHost /> directives in the documentation.
[10:28] <apeman2020> ringerc: in the default? or a new file?
[10:28] <cobbweb_> does anyone know how to change /etc/sudoers from mode 0755 to mode 0440 ????
[10:28] <ringerc> apeman2020: If you create a new file you can enable and disable various vhosts separately
[10:28] <apeman2020> ringerc: thanks
[10:28] <cobbweb_> I dont know how and would love to learn very very quickly :)
[10:28] <ringerc> apeman2020: but in the end, they're effectively just cat'd into one big config file as far as Apache is converned anyway
[10:28] <ringerc> s/converned/concerned/g
[10:28] <apeman2020> cobbweb_:  chmod 440 /etc/sudoers
[10:29] <cobbweb_> :) thanks
[10:29] <apeman2020> ringerc: i had some serious trouble with this last night
[10:29] <ringerc> apeman2020: How so? Just the weird config layout debian/ubuntu use? Or with the apache config its self?
[10:29] <apeman2020> ringerc: rocked my whole server.. took everything down.. you can lead a horse to water...
[10:29] <ringerc> yikes ... nfi how that could happen
[10:30] <ringerc> ooooh.... unless you set up an include loop in the apache config files and it ate all available file descriptors
[10:30] <apeman2020> ringerc: i wasnt sure which file to edit, i originally edited the default inside of sites-available, then i edited the apache2.conf
[10:30] <ringerc> (I've seen that happen - it seems apache's config file includes don't limit recursion)
[10:30] <apeman2020> ringerc:  i had to route mail.thecleverdog.com to 192.168.1.55:8000
[10:31] <apeman2020> didnt work.. blew everything up!
[10:31] <ringerc> er... you can't control the port the client connects on with vhosts, only what port Apache listens to. Were you trying to use iptables to do port redirection too?
[10:32] <apeman2020> ringerc: i was trying anything.
[10:32] <apeman2020> ringerc: maybe ill lean on you when i get to that point..
[10:33] <ringerc> jUggERNAUt1980: ... and were you trying to share your connection with your friend using a wired network card between the two machines, routing through a wifi card in your machine to the neighbour's (!!bad!!) wifi? What's your network layout?
[10:33] <ringerc> apeman2020: Actually, your chances of doing so are't great - I'm almost never in #ubuntu and probably won't be here too much longer. Just stuck at work waiting for a part that's late from a supplier...
[10:34] <apeman2020> ringerc:  ill contact you through the multiverse in that case ;)
[10:35] <ringerc> jUggERNAUt1980: Also, I'd be very surprised if Ubuntu doesn't have a GUI option to enable routing in their GUI network config tool. Maybe someone who uses Ubuntu's GUI sysadmin stuff will know?
[10:35] <ringerc> apeman2020: omigod, I have a multi-dimensional stalker ! *runs away*
[10:35] <TeePOG> to be sure ringerc... I use Guarddog firewall, and Guidedog to setup port forwarding and routing
[10:36] <EXED> ok, so, I read the manual and didnt find a solution to my problem, do I post it here?
[10:37] <Ackeubu_> with 'apt-cache search apps' I can find apps to install. can i find out which repository apps belongs too?
[10:38] <rbrtoclto> I have to do an /etc/init.d/networking restart every time I boot to get wireless up
[10:39] <rbrtoclto> the entry in my /etc/networking/defaults is
[10:39] <jUggERNAUt1980> ringerc, my network layout?  i'm not sure what you mean by that.
[10:39] <ringerc> jUggERNAUt1980: What's plugged into what
[10:39] <jUggERNAUt1980> ringerc, i unplugged his system from mine, and i don't really know the specs of the router
[10:39] <rbrtoclto> iface eth1 inet dhcp
[10:39] <rbrtoclto> wpa-driver wext
[10:40] <rbrtoclto> wpa-config /home/robertw/.wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
[10:40] <rbrtoclto> auto eth1
[10:40] <rbrtoclto> when I do /etc/init.d/networking restart it works fine
[10:40] <jUggERNAUt1980> ringerc, i had his sys connected to my lappy box with a crosover cable.
[10:41] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> people
[10:41] <rbrtoclto> no other interfaces are configured
[10:41] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> tell me
[10:41] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> how to modify the startup message
[10:41] <jUggERNAUt1980> ringerc, my lappy is connected to a wifi network.
[10:42] <ringerc> jUggERNAUt1980: ok - so a pretty simple NAT setup. No reason it shouldn't work. What interfaces did you specify when runing the masquerade command in that doc/
[10:42] <ringerc> ?
[10:43] <apeman2020> ringerc: how do i start x?
[10:43] <apeman2020> man.. problems with this distro!
[10:43] <jUggERNAUt1980> i specified the wifi interface
[10:43] <ringerc> apeman2020: "startx" for a one-off. Otherwise use /etc/init.d/gdm start (or whatever your preferred display manager is)
[10:43] <jUggERNAUt1980> ringerc, i specified the wifi interface
[10:44] <admin_> !upgrade
[10:44] <ubotu> Upgrading, please see the instructions on: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[10:44] <ringerc> jUggERNAUt1980: Honestly, I fail to see why they suggest using dnsmasq and ipmasq.... there's nothing wrong with a simple IP forward rule. Try getting rid of those two packages then:
[10:44] <admin_> !upgrade
[10:44] <kippi> hey
[10:45] <rbrtoclto> why do I have to restart networking every time I boot to get my wireless link up?
[10:45] <apeman2020> ringerc:  nothing..
[10:45] <kippi> when I am installing a package, how can I get it to build all the dependencies to?
[10:48] <rbrtoclto> anyone?
[10:48] <ringerc> jUggERNAUt1980: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ${wifi-interface} -j MASQUERADE
[10:49] <earthian> hello
[10:49] <ringerc> jUggERNAUt1980: iptables -I FORWARD 1 -o ${wifi-interface} -j ACCEPT
[10:49] <earthian> how do i turn on my swap partition automatically each time linux start?
[10:49] <ringerc> jUggERNAUt1980: iptables -I FORWARD 1 -i ${wifi-interface} -j ACCEPT
[10:50] <earthian> now it seems that i turn it on and next time i boot i get no swap again :(
[10:50] <earthian> now i am out of memory
[10:51] <apeman2020> ringerc: weird.. x is not installed?
[10:51] <rbrtoclto> ringerc: have you looked at firestarter?
[10:51] <rbrtoclto> I agree ubuntu needs a sane and easily configurable firewall in place by default
[10:52] <rbrtoclto> I don't buy the "but we don't run any services" argument
[10:53] <jUggERNAUt1980> ringerc, should i use apt-get remove or apt-get --purge remove?
[10:53] <visik7> jUggERNAUt1980: depend if you want to remove conf files or not
[10:54] <rbrtoclto> earth: does your fstab have an entry for swap?
 == swap
[10:55] <jUggERNAUt1980> visik7, i don't know.  i want to remove dnsmasq and ipmasq
[10:55] <jUggERNAUt1980> visik7, would i want to remove those conf files?
[10:55] <visik7> remove -> remove only the files that aren't config files
[10:56] <wols_> jUggERNAUt1980: doesn't matter
[10:56] <rbrtoclto> does anyone use wpa supplicant here?
[10:56] <jUggERNAUt1980> wols_, what would be an instance where i would want to remove those files?
[10:56] <wols_> when you want to reinstall with fresh config since you bungled it for example
[10:57] <jUggERNAUt1980> then this would be an instance like that then?
[11:00] <saintsjd> I would like to hold all print jobs on a cups printer until they are approved by an administrator.  I have tried:

[11:00] <saintsjd> but this doesn't seem to affect the printer's behavior. It is still printing all jobs on demand.  Any ideas?

[11:14] <DaRE> i want to duel boot
[11:15] <TeePOG> DaRE: get another HDD, install Vista, connect Ubuntu HDD, setup grub for dual-boot
[11:15] <DaRE> why another hdd?
[11:15] <DaRE> i cant get another hdd
[11:15] <DaRE> i want to duel boot on same hdd
[11:15] <DaRE> it's a big hdd
[11:16] <DaRE> i cant partition? ive seen people talking about 2oses on 1 hdd
[11:16] <DaRE> how would i go about setting up grub?
[11:18] <opiskelija> I have one Ubuntu-based server (authentication via LDAP, home dirs etc.) and multiple client machines (Xubuntu). I already have the authentication (LDAP) working, but I need advice on which protocol I should use (and possibly how) to mount the home share on the machines. The network is not entirely trusted, so any student computer shouldn't be able to access the dir without authentication.

[11:18] <wthww-pmg4> heh
[11:18] <wthww-pmg4> hey all
[11:18] <emrah> hi all
[11:18] <DaRE> grub install
[11:18] <someusernoob> DaRE: i dont liek to say it, but Vista (or windows) doesnt really want you to dualboot, so you'll lose grub anyway. What is your partition lay out now?
[11:19] <DaRE> it's just ubuntu
[11:19] <wthww-pmg4> i have a question about the ATI drivers, is there a port of those to Ubuntu/MacPPC?
[11:19] <DaRE> and i want to duel boot vista
[11:19] <DaRE> i think i can, because vista will let you install on partiton
[11:19] <someusernoob> DaRE: so you have a ext3 (ubuntu) partition and a swap partition?
[11:19] <DaRE> yes sir
[11:20] <someusernoob> DaRE: install gparted from the repo's, and create a new NTFS partition with it.
[11:20] <DaRE> alright
[11:20] <jo_e> hi, i'm trying to set up dual monitors using an nvidia geforce (agp) and an old s3 trio (pci). is there any easy way to do this? i tried editing my xorg.conf but had to use a livecd to replace it with a backup because when x started both screens stayed blank.
[11:20] <cbx33> is there a nice easy way to debug nfs mounts?
[11:21] <someusernoob> DaRE: then install Vista on that partition, it will remove grub, since Vista uses his own boot record, but dont worry, you can recover grub, and add Vista to it
[11:21] <DaRE> how would i do that sir
[11:21] <someusernoob> DaRE: on the internet you can find a lot of ways to recover grub
[11:21] <kippi> hey
[11:21] <DaRE> hmm
[11:22] <DaRE> okay so i boot vista?
[11:22] <DaRE> go onto I/e find out how to recover grub then install it?
[11:22] <cbx33> I'm getting a permission denied message?
[11:22] <kippi> can someone help me with all the dependencies errors I am getting?
[11:22] <DaRE> will it auto-add ubuntu?
[11:22] <DaRE> and how would i add vista manuely?
[11:23] <TeePOG> !grub
[11:23] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[11:23] <TeePOG> that's the best starting point
[11:23] <DaRE> thank you very much
[11:23] <someusernoob> DaRE: as far as i know, if you reinstall grub on your ubuntu partition, it will automaticly add ubuntu, and also vista, but im not sure of that last one, but you can manually add to the grub's menu.lst, but you have to install grub before you can do that
[11:24] <DaRE> if it auto-adds vista then i wont have manuely do it :)
[11:24] <user42> !osdl
[11:25] <someusernoob> DaRE: yep, but im not 100% sure it adds it automaticly, ive never installed windows after ubuntu, i only installed ubuntu and removed windows :D
[11:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about osdl - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:25] <DaRE> hehe
[11:25] <DaRE> thanks for your help
[11:25] <DaRE> ill be in here again if i have problems :)
[11:25] <someusernoob> DaRE: ok, good luck!
[11:26] <fredrin> Hmm, I got a strange problem. I've change the hostname on my box in the files, 'hostname' and 'hosts' but now sudo wont work any more. I get this message: "sudo: unable to lookup bender via gethostbyname()" I only got ssh connection into the box.
[11:26] <user42> editing grub menus is fairly straight forward.
[11:26] <DaRE> oh, how do i partition it?
[11:26] <fredrin> now I can't edit the hostname file any more, since sudo is not working, I can't reboot the server either
[11:26] <DaRE> do i have to go onto a boot cd or something
[11:26] <DaRE> says it's mounted
[11:26] <DaRE> just unmount?
[11:27] <someusernoob> DaRE:ow yes, in case the drive is mounted you have to partition it from the live cd, it has an installer in the system menu
[11:27] <wols> DaRE: do you have free room on that harddisk or is all of it already partitioned for ubuntu?
[11:28] <someusernoob> DaRE: or if you are more experienced with linux, you can partition with the alternate cd too, but it is more complicated then doing it with the live cd
[11:28] <DaRE> it's all partitoned to ubuntu
[11:28] <DaRE> and the live CD sucks!
[11:28] <someusernoob> DaRE: with installer i meant gparted in the system menu...it is early :)
[11:28] <wols> DaRE: then you need to resize partition(s) for which you need to boot a liveCD. simply making new partitions could be done in ubuntu itself
[11:29] <DaRE> alright
[11:29] <DaRE> brb
[11:29] <wthww-pmg4> ive just installed Ubuntu on my powermac AGP graphics, and its sweeet
[11:29] <user42> !fdisk
[11:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fdisk - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[11:30] <user42> nothing I can't figure out... I was just curious what the ubuntu bot would say about it.
[11:31] <wols> opiskelija: how could this work when the user can simply kill -9 his shell?
[11:31] <NemesisUK> user42, in a terminal type man fdisk for the manual
[11:32] <user42> !man

[11:48] <furiousgeorge> Hey, quick question (Hopefully): How do I get DapperDrake to install on a software raid1 array? I got the array formatted and ready to go, but the installation wizard can't seem to find the partitions on the array...
[11:49] <mneptok> furiousgeorge: if it's software raid, what software is doing the raid?
[11:49] <mneptok> and is that software running under the Ubuntu installer? (highly unlikely)
[11:49] <furiousgeorge> I use sil drivers in windows, but the dmraid program I used to set it up is using pdc
[11:50] <furiousgeorge> Ummm I added it to the system using apt-get
[11:50] <mneptok> it may come as a shock that Ubuntu is not going to use Windows drivers. ;)
[11:51] <furiousgeorge> I know that mneptok
[11:51] <stefg> ;-)
[11:51] <furiousgeorge> Its using the pdc stuff not the sil windows drivers
[11:51] <tomcatt> !kxdocker
[11:51] <Flannel> furiousgeorge: you need to get the alternate ISO to install with LVM stuff
[11:51] <ubotu> kxdocker: innovative docker for KDE that is like Mac OSX Docker. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.39-0ubuntu2 (dapper), package size 253 kB, installed size 832 kB
[11:51] <stefg> !lvm
[11:51] <ubotu> Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[11:52] <furiousgeorge> you got a link to that stuff Flannel?
[11:52] <Flannel> furiousgeorge: ubuntu.com/download
[11:52] <furiousgeorge> Thx
[11:53] <furiousgeorge> I'll give it a whirl
[11:53] <Flannel> furiousgeorge: just download the alternate ISO instead of the Desktop one

[11:58] <nickjhfjd> hello everybody
[11:59] <wickedpuppy> hello
[12:01] <jUggERNAUt1980> anybody recommend a good p2p program?
[12:01] <CheekyBoinc> azureus - BitTorrent
[12:02] <jUggERNAUt1980> azureus?
[12:02] <salim> hi
[12:03] <CheekyBoinc> http://azureus.sourceforge.net/  :)
[12:03] <salim> I've a problem, I cant extract .bz files
[12:03] <sanek> how can i change encoding ?
[12:03] <jUggERNAUt1980> i used to use shareaza in windows.  is that something like azureus?
[12:03] <nickjhfjd> hey where's everyone from in here
[12:03] <unfknblvbl> jUggERNAUt1980: no
[12:03] <jUggERNAUt1980> unfknblvbl, what would you recommend?
[12:03] <mneptok> salim: bunzip2 path/to/file.name.bz2 ?
[12:03] <Hagbarddenstore> I have the Ubuntu and the Kubuntu cd... Can I do an alternate install from them or do I need the Alternate cd?
[12:03] <jUggERNAUt1980> unfknblvbl, i have fristwire, but i don't think i like it.
[12:04] <salim> no it is a bz file, not a bz2, when I use bz2 it says it is not a bz2 file
[12:04] <mneptok> Hagbarddenstore: you need the alternate CD
[12:04] <unfknblvbl> jUggERNAUt1980: i'm not sure
[12:04] <unfknblvbl> all i know is that they are not the sma
[12:04] <Hagbarddenstore> mneptok: Hmm...
[12:04] <unfknblvbl> same**
[12:04] <mneptok> salim: Bunzip2 should handle .bz files
[12:04] <salim> but it cant
[12:04] <mneptok> salim: maybe it's not really a BZip archive?
[12:04] <salim> what is it then?
[12:05] <salim> others can unpack it
[12:05] <salim> it is the same file
[12:05] <mneptok> what "others?"
[12:05] <salim> I tried KDE's ARK, but it says, that it cant find "bunzip" in my PATH
[12:05] <salim> friends
[12:06] <mneptok> Ubuntu ships with bunzip2, not bunzip
[12:06] <mneptok> have you tried from the comamnd line (as i suggested above?)
[12:06] <mildrew> hi, I'm suddenly having problems with Firefox over the last few days.  It keeps spontaneously disappearing.
[12:06] <frogzoo> salim: what does 'file *.bz' say ?
[12:06] <mildrew> and i loose everything, which is really frustrating
[12:06] <Hagbarddenstore> Ok... Going to reinstall Ubuntu... It's main task is Apache with more than one user... How much should / be on? would 5GB be enough?
[12:06] <salim> it says it is an ASCII file
[12:07] <salim> but it is an ASCII file being "zipped"
[12:07] <stefg> mildrew: can you reproduce this with a fresh profile? Might be an extension that went haywire
[12:07] <apeman2020> how do i reconfigure x?
[12:07] <wols> Hagbarddenstore: overkill
[12:07] <mneptok> Hagbarddenstore: what separate partitions do you have? /home? /usr? /var?
[12:07] <frogzoo> salim: I kind of doubt it's a bzip file then
[12:07] <Hagbarddenstore> mneptok: Just /home separate...
[12:07] <mneptok> apeman2020: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:08] <salim> but why can others unpack it
[12:08] <mneptok> Hagbarddenstore: you'll want 7.5GB minimum for / then
[12:08] <Hagbarddenstore> mneptok: Ok... Why so much?
[12:08] <mneptok> Hagbarddenstore: log files. apt cache. headroom.
[12:08] <apeman2020> mneptok: which driver should I use?
[12:08] <Hagbarddenstore> mneptok: kk
[12:08] <mildrew> ok, i'll try to manage without my extensions for a while
[12:09] <stefg> 4 -5 Gigs are enough for a vanilla dapper, if you keep your /home elsewhere
[12:09] <mneptok> apeman2020: do i spin the roulette wheel or do you tell me what video card you actually have?
[12:09] <salim> maybe you could tell me where I can find the "bunzip" command?
[12:09] <frogzoo> salim: 'which bunzip2'
[12:09] <mneptok> salim: you use bunzip2
[12:09] <apeman2020> nvidia fx5700 le
[12:09] <salim> but that doesnt work
[12:09] <Hagbarddenstore> So 10GB / , 1GB swap , then 5x1GB /home and the rest of my 20GB will be other...
[12:09] <mneptok> salim: and bunzip2 *absolutely* works on bzip files. absolutely.
[12:09] <salim> :-S
[12:09] <salim> that's strange
[12:10] <wols> salim: tell your friends to give you a md5sum of the file
[12:10] <wols> apeman2020: nv
[12:10] <Hagbarddenstore> But there's no way to install server from the Ubuntu/Kubuntu cd?
[12:11] <frogzoo> salim: 'sudo apt-get install bzip2'
[12:11] <salim> but I have bzip2
[12:12] <stefg> Hagbarddenstore: servers typically want lvm / raid, so it requires the alternate installer. And the server-install has a different default package selection
[12:13] <Hagbarddenstore> stefg: Not that kind of server... A home-server. Just for some simple PHP coding, FTP, Samba and shell... Nothing more really... =)
[12:13] <mneptok> Hagbarddenstore: no to mention ubuntu-server gets a different stock kernel
[12:13] <mneptok> Hagbarddenstore: you still want server. unless you want this machine to have a GUI. in which case it fails my litmus test as a server. ;)
[12:14] <Hagbarddenstore> Kk...
[12:14] <Hagbarddenstore> Bahh... Then I'll have to buy cds... Blaahh...
[12:14] <mneptok> why?
[12:14] <mneptok> oh, to burn this new .iso?
[12:14] <Hagbarddenstore> Yep
[12:14] <wols> Hagbarddenstore: can't use a CD-RW?
[12:15] <Hagbarddenstore> wols: Don't have one?!
[12:15] <stefg> Hagbarddenstore: i'm not sure if it's still the case, but an hoary/breezy(?) it was pssible to boot the installer with a 'server' parameter' to install a server. But this only applies to the alternate CD's. The Desktop CD's have a completly different installer, which cannot take parameters, AFAIK
[12:15] <apeman2020> Xseesion: unable to start X session --- no "/root/.xsession" file, no "/root/.Xsession" fiel, no session managers, no window managers, and no terminal emulators found; aborting.
[12:15] <apeman2020> any ideas why?
[12:15] <jUggERNAUt1980> azure is a pay program.  i'm lookin for something free that's better than frostwure.
[12:15] <Hagbarddenstore> Hmm... I have the Dapper Beta cd and I think it's possible to make an server install from that...
[12:15] <mneptok> jUggERNAUt1980: Azureus is free
[12:15] <wols> apeman2020: have you installed kdesktop or any other window manager?
[12:16] <mneptok> apeman2020: why are you trying to login to X as root?
[12:16] <jUggERNAUt1980> mneptok, is it a packet i can get with apt-get?
[12:16] <rbrtoclto> why do I have to restart networking every time I boot to get my wireless link up?
[12:16] <zim_> hi all just a quick Q will 6.10 be 6.10 of 6.**
[12:16] <stefg> Hagbarddenstore: then you're better off to download the server install CD... and apt-get distupgrade from one of the betas will eat up the same amount of bandwidth
[12:17] <mneptok> jUggERNAUt1980: yes
[12:17] <zim_> sorry or not of
[12:17] <jUggERNAUt1980> apt-get azureus?
[12:17] <Hagbarddenstore> Well... Gotta hit the shower, go to the bank, backup my stuff from this machine, and then reinstall...
[12:17] <zim_> hi all just a quick Q will 6.10 be 6.10 or 6.**
[12:17] <mneptok> jUggERNAUt1980: sudo apt-get install azureus
[12:17] <mneptok> jUggERNAUt1980: after enabling the Uni and Multi repos
[12:17] <Hagbarddenstore> stefg: Better talk mom into buying me some cds then cause I'm low on both cash and bruncds... ;D
[12:17] <jUggERNAUt1980> mneptok, thanks!  :)  i have both enabled.
[12:17] <mneptok> Hagbarddenstore: ShipIt
[12:18] <Hagbarddenstore> mneptok: I wanna do this today... Not in six weeks...
[12:18] <mneptok> (although the person that fills ShipIt orders is off today)
[12:18] <apeman2020> mneptok:  sudo
[12:18] <mneptok> apeman2020: do not run X as root.
[12:18] <apeman2020> mneptok: the error doesnt change as user either
[12:19] <mneptok> apeman2020: what exactly are you trying to do?
[12:19] <Hagbarddenstore> hmm... gotta check something bye...
[12:19] <apeman2020> start x!
[12:19] <apeman2020> get into the GUI
[12:19] <mneptok> and what does the machine give you when you boot it?
[12:19] <wols> apeman2020: have you installed a window-manager like kdesktop?
[12:20] <apeman2020> wols: apt-get install kdesktop
[12:20] <mneptok> apeman2020: do you get a graphical login screen, or CLI?
[12:20] <apeman2020> CLI
[12:20] <mneptok> then you have no DE installed.
[12:20] <apeman2020> DE?
[12:20] <mneptok> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[12:20] <mneptok> Desktop Environment
[12:21] <mneptok> (e.g. GNOME, KDE, XFCE, etc)
[12:21] <stefg> sudo apt-get install [K|x] ubuntu-desktop...
[12:21] <apeman2020> mneptok: although i did apt-get install kdesktop?
[12:21] <mneptok> apeman2020: kdesktop is not the name of the KDE desktop package. so no.
[12:21] <mneptok> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[12:21] <mneptok> sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[12:22] <mneptok> sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[12:22] <mneptok> etc
[12:22] <apeman2020> mneptok: should i apt-get remove kdesktop?
[12:22] <mneptok> no, it's going to be requisite for kubuntu-desktop
[12:22] <grouchytim> so what is the command line to start ssh server listening?
[12:22] <rehn> I have problems entering many characters on my keyboard in X in Dapper; all non-common ones including are shown as two squares. I find that saying LC_ALL="sv_SE@euro" or LANG="sv_SE@euro" (my locale) fixes the problem. Should I put that into /etc/profile or something or is there another more correct solution?
[12:22] <apeman2020> mneptok: i installed ubuntu-desktop.. it will not conflict i hope..
[12:23] <lupine_85> rehn: something isn't UTF-8 aware, by the sounds of it
[12:23] <mneptok> apeman2020: then you should be able to login and type "startx"
[12:23] <Xenguy> grouchytim: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start
[12:23] <stefg> grouchytim: you mean you want to start a ssh server, to be able to login into that box?
[12:23] <apeman2020> tim: /etc/init.d/ssh start
[12:23] <grouchytim> yes
[12:23] <grouchytim> thanx Xenguy
[12:23] <stefg> grouchytim: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[12:23] <grouchytim> thanx apeman
[12:23] <Xenguy> grouchytim: yw
[12:23] <jUggERNAUt1980> apt-get install azureus is WAY slow!!!

[12:23] <rehn> lupine_85: Yes, so it seems. How do I make things utf-8 aware then?
[12:24] <lupine_85> you could try LC_all=utf-8 (or whatever the appropriate string is)... otherwise, it's ap-specific
[12:25] <grouchytim> ok i was hoping that was one of my problems but.....connection refused
[12:26] <grouchytim> how do i get machine 1 to be a trusted machine on machine 2?
[12:26] <lupine_85> rehn: you could also try aking in #ubuntu-xx (where xx is your country code)
[12:26] <apeman2020> grouchytim: are you passing through a router?
[12:26] <rehn> lupine_85: LC_ALL=utf-8 does not work.
[12:26] <orbin> jUggERNAUt1980: try a mirror
[12:26] <apeman2020> grouchytim: you will have to forward port 22 on to the client machine
[12:26] <grouchytim> i am ssh'ing from the router
[12:27] <apeman2020> ah
[12:27] <lupine_85> it could be utf8, UFT8, UTF-8 ... I'm not sure, TBH
[12:27] <grouchytim> router is mandrake
[12:27] <apeman2020> just says connection refused?
[12:27] <lupine_85> then sshd isn't running
[12:27] <grouchytim> i had issues with the first ubuntu i set up a few days ago
[12:27] <jUggERNAUt1980> orbin, how do i select a mirror with apt-get?
[12:27] <lupine_85> does it show up in netstat -lt ?
[12:27] <grouchytim> and now i have the same problem on the next
[12:27] <linux__alien> how do i remove Kubuntu-Desktop and its allied applications completely from Ubuntu
[12:27] <mneptok> linux__alien: sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop
[12:28] <apeman2020> linux__alien: with a crowbar
[12:28] <linux__alien> even when the system starts it shows Kubuntu i want the original installation that i had before installing Kubuntu-Desktop
[12:28] <linux__alien> apeman2020, with a crowbar means/
[12:28] <linux__alien> ?
[12:28] <rehn> I just realised that I get "X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 168" whenever I start an X app... That might be related to the UTf-8 problem I guess?
[12:28] <grouchytim> Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State

[12:28] <orbin> jUggERNAUt1980: edit your sources.list file and replace the url with one of these http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive
[12:29] <orbin> grouchytim: don't paste in here please
[12:29] <grouchytim> oh sorry
[12:29] <orbin> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[12:30] <orbin> jUggERNAUt1980: how slow are we talking though?
[12:30] <apeman2020> linux__alien: jk
[12:30] <linux__alien> jk ?
[12:30] <linux__alien> oh ok
[12:31] <linux__alien> apeman2020, so could you tell me how to go about it
[12:31] <apeman2020> ;)
[12:31] <grouchytim> and by the way i can ssh to the router but not back into ubuntu
[12:31] <apeman2020> sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop
[12:31] <linux__alien> i ve removed kdm but my gdm does not start and morever i still get the KDE themes and applications in gnome
[12:31] <apeman2020> hmm
[12:31] <jUggERNAUt1980> orbin, i think it sped up.  it was less than a k/s
[12:31] <grouchytim> and ping shows the router and other machines on the network
[12:32] <jUggERNAUt1980> orbin, now it's goin 14.4kB/s
[12:32] <wols> linux__alien: remove kdelibs4 package
[12:33] <linux__alien> wols, it says not installed
[12:34] <wols> linux__alien: do those applications for kde still work?
[12:34] <wols> dpkg -l kde* |less
[12:35] <linux__alien> yes one second i am doing it right now using synaptic let me check one second :-) i think its getting uninstalled
[12:35] <xopher> Hi, any ideas how I can configure my locales to support scandinavian letters, works fine here, but eg. subtitles in totem are all borked..
[12:35] <linux__alien> and how do i get my gdm again
[12:35] <darkanyel> hi!
[12:35] <linux__alien> that was way good wols
[12:36] <wols> linux__alien: tried dpkg-reconfigure gdm ?
[12:36] <Janchi> Good afternoon, sorry to bother, but is there an Ubuntu channel for the PPC? Thanks
[12:36] <Ackeubu_> how do i replace  'http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/' with 'http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/ubuntu/' in /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:36] <darkanyel> anyone know how can i config... my buttons of DVD and Musik of my notebook??
[12:37] <apeman2020> Ackeubu_: sudo view /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:37] <apeman2020> Ackeubu_: alt s, edit it, then alt q then shift : wq!
[12:38] <stefg> darkanyel: that depends on wether they deliver scancodes. If so you can configure it by the hotkey-applet, if not google for a package called keytouch
[12:38] <wols> apeman2020: wouldn't it be easier to let people use nano instead of some sort of vi? *g*
[12:38] <Ackeubu_> im pretty sure there are a command to replace strings in a file. insted of doing one at the time
[12:38] <apeman2020> suer
[12:38] <apeman2020> suer
[12:38] <apeman2020> sure
[12:38] <apeman2020> lol
[12:38] <apeman2020> i always use VI. force of habit
[12:39] <stefg> Ackeubu_: man sed :-)
[12:39] <Ackeubu_> im a nano guy. but im also a lazy guy
[12:39] <Ackeubu_> stefg: ty
[12:39] <orbin> Janchi: no.  people usually ask ppc related questions in here too.
[12:40] <ntoll> hi, how so I mount a networked windows share from a windowsXP machine onto my ubuntu box? Ubuntu guide doesn't have any advice and googling just brings back stuff about reading an XP hard-drive partition rather than a network share... Pointers???? TIA
[12:40] <Janchi> Thanks Orbin. I have been trying to install Ubuntu on my old iMac Indigo yesterday, but it was horribly slow. I wondered whether others had a similar experience and whether Xubuntu would be a better choice
[12:40] <apeman2020> ntoll: samba
[12:40] <darkanyel> thanks
[12:40] <ntoll> yup... I got that far... :-) is there a howto?
[12:40] <darkanyel> im gonna look for it
[12:41] <kyja> there is a great ascii demmo named bb. however I cant have music and the graphics working at the same time. thus I guess I have some trouble, also how do I set monitor depth??
[12:41] <stefg> ntoll: you've goog a load of options. I'm doing by smbfs, this means mounting it in my file tree. See !samba
[12:41] <orbin> Janchi: not familiar w/ imac specs.  but yeah, xfce is a better option for older machines
[12:41] <linux__alien> wols, sorry stopped the KDM by mistake and i had to reboot :-(
[12:41] <ntoll> stefg: cheers
[12:41] <linux__alien> wols, how do i get gdm working now ?
[12:42] <wols> first off, you don't need to reboot cause kdm is stopped: startx
[12:42] <wols> 2nd: try dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[12:42] <orbin> kyja: 2nd Q: change the defaultdepth line in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restart X
[12:42] <jUggERNAUt1980> if not apt-get, where can i download azureus from?
[12:42] <apeman2020> ntoll: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2002-October/053214.html
[12:42] <Seveas> !azureua
[12:42] <Seveas> !azureus
[12:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about azureua - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:42] <ubotu> azureus is a popular bittorent client written in Java, installation instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AzureusHowTo
[12:42] <ntoll> cheers apeman2020
[12:42] <stefg> !azureus
[12:42] <kyja> ah ok thx for that orbin
[12:43] <jUggERNAUt1980> it's being way too slow in terminal.
[12:43] <Ackeubu_> stefg like this: sudo sed -s "http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/ubuntu/" "http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/" /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:43] <Janchi> Orbin: the Indigo comes with 500 Mhz clockspeed and 768 MB RAM. I will give Xubuntu a try then. Ubuntu was frozen solid ;-)
[12:43] <Ackeubu_> or
[12:43] <Ackeubu_> stefg like this: sudo sed -s/"http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/ubuntu/"/"http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/" /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:43] <mneptok> Janchi: that's more than enough for Ubuntu
[12:43] <wols> Janchi: I can't believe that.
[12:43] <Janchi> Hmmm, why is it that slow then?
[12:43] <mneptok> Janchi: i've had Ubuntu running well on a toilet-seat iBook@366Mhz.
[12:44] <jUggERNAUt1980> no clue!!
[12:44] <linux__alien> wols, let me log out and see now
[12:44] <wols> Janchi: usually the critical part is enough memory on slow machines. never CPU
[12:44] <stefg> Ackeubu_: the second one is closer, but still wrong... -i /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:44] <mneptok> Janchi: how much swap did you allow for? what apps did you install?
[12:44] <Ackeubu_> sudo sed -s "http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/ubuntu/" "http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/" -i /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:44] <Janchi> I had to use the alternate install, because it wouldn't boot into the live CD
[12:44] <mneptok> Janchi: the most recent Ubuntu shouyld be faster than the most recent OSX by a wide margin
[12:44] <Janchi> @ mneptok: just default install
[12:44] <Janchi> of dapper
[12:45] <jUggERNAUt1980> i had to do the alternate install too!  :)
[12:45] <mneptok> Janchi: if it won't boot from CD, maybe there are hardware issues?
[12:45] <Ackeubu_>  sudo sed -s/"http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/ubuntu/"/"http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/" -i /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:45] <Ackeubu_> like that I ment
[12:45] <Ackeubu_> meant*\
[12:45] <mneptok> (and Desktop/Live CDs should never, ever be burned at >8x speed)
[12:46] <Janchi> The alternate install disk worked perfectly. The install was finished in 30 minutes
[12:46] <Janchi> The bootup after that was extremely slow (10 minutes), after login it was frozen.
[12:47] <mneptok> Janchi: smells like a bad burn or bad hardware
[12:47] <josh_> AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
[12:47] <Janchi> Mac OS X Tiger worked perfectly, so I didn't exprect any hardware problems
[12:47] <Janchi> But I will check the burn process again for the disk
[12:47] <josh_> Hows the weather?
[12:47] <Ackeubu_> sed and i dont agree
[12:47] <josh_> HOWS THE WEATHER!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
[12:48] <Seveas> !offtopic > josh_
[12:48] <grouchytim> josh_ i think you have issues
[12:48] <Ackeubu_>  s/regexp/replacement/
[12:48] <grouchytim> look out the wiindow
[12:48] <jUggERNAUt1980> josh_, shhhh!!
[12:48] <jUggERNAUt1980> :P
[12:48] <josh_> aww
[12:48] <mneptok> josh_: partly cloudy with a high chance of annoying lamers on IRC trying to be "funny"
[12:49] <grouchytim> haaa he called you lamer
[12:49] <Seveas> ...and several people feeding the troll
[12:49] <Seveas> stop it now.
[12:49] <Janchi> mneptok, I heard the issue about the burn speed before for the iMac. Why is that? (just wanting to learn)
[12:49] <stefg_> Ackeubu_: http://pegasus.rutgers.edu/~elflord/unix/sed.html
[12:50] <darkanyel> what is 0x75??
[12:50] <apeman2020> gnome is so bloated ><
[12:50] <mneptok> Janchi: the CDs are not very fault tolerant. a single 1 instead of a 0 can be fatal. but that is rarely the case for, say, a movie file.
[12:50] <mikl> how do you get ubuntu to accept the the system clock is set to UTC and not local time?
[12:51] <Seveas> mikl, edit /etc/default/rcS
[12:51] <Janchi> mneptok, true. i will burn a new live CD image this way.
[12:51] <davvs> how do i automatically mount a folder onto another folder during boot? like mount -o bind
[12:52] <hantu> fstab
[12:52] <davvs> ?
[12:52] <Seveas> davvs, add this to /etc/fstab:  /srcpath /destpath auto bind 0 0
[12:52] <linux__alien> wols, Thanks now i ve got gdm back but still when the system boots it shows Kubuntu instead of Ubuntu how do i change that ?
[12:52] <davvs> ok, thanks Seveas
[12:53] <stefg> linux__alien: sudo dpkg-reconfigure usplash
[12:53] <zappe> what does "retry time not reached for any host" mean in exim?
[12:53] <wols> linux__alien: have you uninstalled kdm?
[12:53] <wols> linux__alien: including purging
[12:53] <linux__alien> wols, no i dont have kdm installed now i ve got gdm and thats now ok
[12:54] <linux__alien> i gave sudo dpkg-reconfigure usplash now let me test it
[12:54] <linux__alien> brb
[12:55] <Ackeubu_> stefg: thanks
[12:55] <Ackeubu_> stefg: works like a charm
[12:56] <stefg> Ackeubu_: thank yourself for actually reading documentation and learning something
[12:56] <Ackeubu_> ;)
[12:56] <fyrestrtr> zappe: means that the wait period before it tries delivery has not reached yet.
[12:57] <CVirus> how can I avoid the automatic change of my resolve.conf ?
[12:57] <fyrestrtr> CVirus: edit your dhcp options
[12:58] <CVirus> fyrestrtr: how can I do so ?
[12:58] <linux__alien> wols, i still get Kubuntu logo instead of Ubuntu
[12:58] <zappe> fyrestrtr, i found it.. to many mails in queue.
[12:58] <linux__alien> :-(
[12:58] <wols> linux__alien: no clue where that is stored, sorry
[12:59] <stefg> linux__alien: tehn you'll need to apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-artwork and reconfigure usplash again
[12:59] <fyrestrtr> CVirus: edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
[01:02] <darkanyel> uhmm help plz

[01:04] <rnalexander> Hello?
[01:04] <ulinskie> hi there
[01:05] <darkanyel> my default app is ryhthmbox
[01:05] <rnalexander> Hi, I have a problem with my ubuntu install, can someone help me please?
[01:05] <frogzoo_> !helpme
[01:05] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:05] <darkanyel> but i uninstal
[01:06] <someusernoob> !edgy
[01:06] <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
[01:06] <someusernoob> !schedule
[01:06] <ubotu> Ubuntu uses a strict timetable for releases, which means that sometimes newly released programs miss the timetable. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases for more. Edgy schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseSchedule
[01:06] <rnalexander> OK, I'm getting an error on my Dapper install, when installing it said that it couldn't verify the security packages and now when I got to auto update it could not download all repository patches.
[01:07] <rnalexander> I'm getting Connection Failed.
[01:07] <Rondom> rnalexander: are you connected to the net?
[01:07] <rnalexander> Rondom yes.
[01:07] <rnalexander> I can even surf from the same machine.  In fact, I can surf *to* the locations that it's having an error with.
[01:07] <Rondom> rnalexander: if yes, and other pages like e.g google.com work, there's a problem with the server
[01:08] <rnalexander> Is there a trustworthy alternative site for packages?  the US ones resolve to the same IPs as the GB ones.
[01:08] <Rondom> rnalexander: do you mean you can typ archive.ubuntu.com into your browser
[01:08] <egg_> hola
[01:08] <Rondom> rnalexander: there are several mirrors
[01:09] <Rondom> around the globe
[01:09] <egg_> hello
[01:09] <rnalexander> Rondom, no I mean the exact same url:  heep://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper/Release.gpg
[01:09] <rnalexander> That comes up in my browser just fine.  But in my auto-update it fails...
[01:10] <Rondom> rnalexander: wait some time, maybe it's somewhate outdated, don't have a clue
[01:10] <rnalexander> I'm sorry, what's outdated?
[01:10] <shinobi2> my program does strange things
[01:10] <rnalexander> I'm using the latest version of Dapper.
[01:11] <rnalexander> I just downloaded the ISO last night.
[01:11] <Rondom> rnalexander: nothing on your side
[01:11] <shinobi2> anyone like to look at conversion from fahrenheit to celsisu?
[01:11] <Rondom> rnalexander: use de.archive.ubuntu.com for the time being (or anything other)
[01:11] <rnalexander> Ok, I'll give it a shot.
[01:12] <darkanyel> how can i change my default musik player for other??
[01:12] <Rondom> rnalexander: looks like this is an error on the servers side, switch to gb some time later and try again
[01:12] <jrib> darkanyel: did the isntructions ubotu sent you not work?
[01:12] <Rondom> !defaultapps > darkanyel
[01:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about defaultapps - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:13] <Rondom> !defaultapp > darkanyel
[01:13] <Rondom> gonna go
[01:13] <darkanyel> no
[01:13] <darkanyel> not that
[01:14] <frogzoo_> !defaultapps
[01:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about defaultapps - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:14] <frogzoo_> !defaultapp
[01:14] <ubotu> To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting. In Kubuntu, Konqueror -> Settings -> Configure and then hit "File Associations"
[01:14] <darkanyel> i mean, in my keyboard are a button with the simbol of musik
[01:14] <darkanyel> when i press that give me an error
[01:14] <linux__alien> wols, i still get Kubuntu as the log i did apt-get remove usplash and then installed the artwork as you said and then installed usplash again
[01:14] <frogzoo_> darkanyel: prefs -> keyboard
[01:15] <darkanyel> Impossibile eseguire il comando: rhythmbox
[01:15] <darkanyel> Verificare che il comando esista.
[01:15] <frogzoo_> !es
[01:15] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[01:15] <darkanyel> is not espanish

[01:15] <stefg> !it
[01:15] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[01:15] <darkanyel> hehehe
[01:16] <sladen> linux__alien: usplash is a programs that displays splash screens.  there are specific uubuntu/kubuntu/xubuntu theme packages and they need usplash to display them on boot
[01:16] <sladen> linux__alien: if you don't want to /see/ the pretty splash on boot, then remove 'splash' from the commandline
[01:16] <KoluCCi> Hi all
[01:16] <rnalexander> I'm afraid that I'm still getting the errors with the de site.
[01:16] <linux__alien> sladen, i want ubuntu when the system boots up and not kubuntu but i get kubuntu
[01:16] <linux__alien> :-(
[01:17] <KoluCCi> Does anybody knows how to select which type of monitor connection should use my Xorg: DVI or D-SUB?
[01:17] <KoluCCi> I know, that there are options, but which?
[01:18] <occy> hmm
[01:19] <C-O-L-T> how to put background sound into an html document. what is the source script
[01:19] <linux__alien> sladen, how do i get ubuntu splash when the system boots up
[01:19] <fyrestrtr> C-O-L-T: #web
[01:19] <C-O-L-T> fyrestrtr: ok
[01:19] <occy> C-O-L-T, yeah, but that's a really cheesy thing to do :)
[01:19] <visik7> linux__alien: usually should work by default
[01:19] <occy> C-O-L-T, but yeah some other channel than here
[01:20] <linux__alien> visik7, i installed kubuntu-desktop and then removed that now i ve got everything else back to ubuntu's settings but except this splash i still get Kubuntu
[01:20] <occy> anyone here know how I can remove ubuntu-xgl? and go back to the default X settings?
[01:20] <airjump> hellp
[01:20] <airjump> sorry hellp
[01:21] <stefg> occy: by restoring the backup you did not make before you decided to mess with your system :-)
[01:21] <occy> stefg, haha
[01:22] <linux__alien> stefg, i still get kubuntu splash :-(
[01:22] <occy> stefg, :P  Surely I should be able to do something like dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:22] <occy> or something like that
[01:22] <linux__alien> is there any thing else that i ve to do
[01:22] <J_P> hi all
[01:22] <occy> linux__alien, oooh, sec I had that recently
[01:22] <Arrick> Quick Question, I now have a gui installed, how do I set it up so that my network uses one NIC for a gateway, and the otehr NIC is hookes to the internet?
[01:22] <Arrick> (BREEZY)
[01:23] <occy> hmm
[01:23] <linux__alien> occy, i installed kubuntu-desktop now i ve got everything back to ubuntu but i still get the splash as kubuntu
[01:23] <occy> I thought I blogged it...
[01:23] <wols> Arrick: the one hooked to the internet IS your gateway
[01:23] <occy> linux__alien, nod... there is something like usplash or something you run.

[01:29] <SillyZ> gmornin
[01:30] <tunubu> anybody knows how to "unremove" packages?
[01:30] <wols> tunubu: apt-get install ?
[01:30] <jrib> tunubu: install them again
[01:30] <tunubu> no, no, it's not that
[01:30] <tunubu> I did not uninstall them
[01:30] <yarddog> sudo apt-get install --reinstall package
[01:30] <tunubu> I removed them from the repositories
[01:31] <stefg> tunubu: i doubt that
[01:31] <tunubu> and know the thing does not find them anymore
[01:31] <jrib> tunubu: do you mean you removed some repositories form your sources.list?
[01:31] <jrib> s/form/from
[01:31] <tunubu> I don't think so
[01:31] <stefg> tunubu: so you borked your /etc/aptsources.list
[01:31] <jrib> tunubu: ok, what package is missing?
[01:31] <tunubu> csm and cgwd
[01:31] <stefg> !xgl
[01:31] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[01:32] <tunubu> so it now complains about dependeccies when trying to install compiz-plugins
[01:32] <tunubu> but it will keep saying csm is not installable ans it was not found
[01:32] <someusernoob> tunubu: you didnt remove them, quinn removed them from the repository, if you install quinn's compiz now, it is broken, or at least it was yesterday
[01:32] <tunubu> nooooooo
[01:32] <stefg> tunubu: /j #ubuntu-xgl
[01:33] <someusernoob> tunubu: taka a look in /var/cache/apt/archives maybe your package is still in there
[01:33] <tunubu> ok
[01:33] <opiskelija> So, has someone got any ideas of a protocol that I should use to mount a certain directory from my Ubuntu server to all my Xubuntu clients? Network not fully trusted, so need some authorization.
[01:34] <root__> it here somebady who knows how to get kde working on ubuntu ?
[01:34] <opiskelija> Home directory, to be exact.
[01:34] <root__> or hoe to install it ?
[01:34] <KoluCCi> opiskelija: may be NFS with user type authorization?
[01:34] <someusernoob> tunubu: if you go to compiz.net you'll that quinn's compiz will change into beryl, so they are working on that, and they've left compiz for what it is. but i dont know why they broke the dependencies and removed some files
[01:34] <_Arrick> hey guys, how do I kill my other name whane I lose connection and the name is still on?
[01:34] <KoluCCi> root__: use Kubuntu instead :)
[01:35] <tunubu> Jesus, it seems the packages are there!
[01:35] <jrib> root__: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[01:35] <_Arrick> tonyyarusso,  how do I kill my other name whane I lose connection and the name is still on?

[01:35] <opiskelija> KoluCCi: I'll try Google on that, thanks.
[01:36] <someusernoob> tunbu: try to install the packages by double clicking them or sudo dpkg -i <file>
[01:36] <KoluCCi> opiskelija: np. I'm using NFS on my Web-Servers, so nothing extraordinal there :)
[01:37] <Arrick> thanks

[01:44] <DB42> #ubuntu-xgl
[01:44] <tunubu> interesting
[01:44] <tunubu> thanks!
[01:44] <someusernoob> tunubu: #ubuntu-xgl for example

[01:44] <DB42> hi, i want to add a new resolution to ubuntu 1280x1024 without running all of dpkg-reconfigure, i've tried adding to xorg.conf but it doesnt work, where else do i have to add it to ?
[01:44] <wetduck> Anybody available for me?
[01:44] <adis_j> so do i
[01:45] <tonyyarusso> DB42: Have you already read !fixres?  (Only resource I know of)
[01:45] <wetduck> If I were you I would post your xorg.conf file on some place to we have a look.
[01:45] <epitaf> how do i install windows parallel to ubuntu? when i reboot with win xp cd in, its says "booting from cd", and then ubuntu starts...
[01:46] <DB42> tonyyarusso: no
[01:46] <DB42> !fixres
[01:46] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type this in a console: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  -  To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[01:46] <seraphim> epitaf: windows will overwrite your mbr, so be sure to back it up before installing win
[01:46] <jrib> DB42: there is 'man xorg.conf' too which might give you more detail
[01:46] <adis_j> epitaf: you must press enter when it says booting from cd
[01:46] <epitaf> seraphim : thats ok, i only want windows on this one
[01:46] <seraphim> epitaf: that won't fix your actual problem, but you won't have another one after :D
[01:46] <DB42> jrib: i looked everyw2here 1024x768 in xorg.conf and added 1280x1024 and it did nothing....
[01:46] <tonyyarusso> epitaf: First, it's always wise to install Windows first when setting up a dual-boot system, b/c it's dumb that way.  Make sure you know how to set your boot priorities in your bios, and see
[01:47] <tonyyarusso> !dualboot
[01:47] <ubotu> Dual boot instructions for x86/amd64 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - for mac https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot
[01:47] <epitaf> adis_j : i did
[01:47] <fyrestrtr> DB42: did you restart X after you added it?
[01:47] <epitaf> tonyyarusso : i only need windows on this one, so thats ok
[01:47] <adis_j> epitaf: check your bios configuration - what starts first
[01:47] <wetduck> Does anybody here knows how to use Samba?
[01:47] <DB42> fyrestrtr: quess ?
[01:47] <adis_j> epitaf: set on Cd-rom
[01:47] <DB42> also ctrl-alt-+/- dont work, is there a flag for it?
[01:47] <stefg> !samba
[01:47] <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
[01:48] <epitaf> adis_j : its set to start on cd first
[01:48] <fyrestrtr> DB42: put your xorg.conf on pastebin
[01:48] <fyrestrtr> epitaf: you have a bad windows cd then.
[01:48] <adis_j> epitaf : must be that
[01:48] <DB42> fyrestrtr: is there a flag for ctrl-alt-+/- ?
[01:49] <tonyyarusso> wetduck: I hand-configged samba with a lot of handholding once, but there be dragons I tell ya.  If swat works for you, I'd go that route (I somehow killed that.)
[01:49] <brekker> can't find drivers hp deskjet 3647
[01:49] <Arcad3> i have image Cd Win if u want
[01:49] <fyrestrtr> DB42: post your xorg.conf file first.
[01:49] <fyrestrtr> Arcad3: we do not encourage the distribution, use or mention of pirated software here.
[01:49] <DB42> fyrestrtr: sec
[01:49] <DB42> btw, it's on vmware
[01:50] <epitaf> fyrestrtr & adis_j : no, i just used it to install windows on another machine
[01:50] <fredl> any issues why the totem plugin doesnt play mpg's in the browser window anymore?
[01:50] <fyrestrtr> DB42: then first set your vmware device to one that does 1280x1024.
[01:50] <wetduck> How do I copy a text on xterm? Ctrl+C doesnt work :(
[01:50] <fyrestrtr> wetduck: highlight it.
[01:50] <wetduck> Maybe Shift+Ctrl+C ?
[01:50] <fyrestrtr> wetduck: then its copied, to paste, right click.
[01:50] <tonyyarusso> wetduck: Ctrl-Shift-C, b/c Ctrl-C is the kill app key binding.
[01:50] <DB42> how do i do that ? :)
[01:51] <fredl> grr there was just another firefox update and now my plugins no longer seem to work.
[01:51] <fyrestrtr> DB42: read the docs on vmware, I don't use it but the problem seems to be that your vmware video device can only do 1024x768
[01:51] <DB42> could be, checking, thanks
[01:51] <epitaf> ok, lets flip my question around.. how do i completely remove ubuntu from my system?
[01:51] <fyrestrtr> epitaf: format the disk.
[01:51] <surface> fredl:  my mplayer plugin works fine.
[01:52] <epitaf> fyrestrtr : can i do that from within ubuntu?
[01:52] <fyrestrtr> epitaf: use a livecd.
[01:52] <fredl> surface, weird. Dunno what happened here then. You up to date?
[01:52] <SillyZ> epitaf: what are you planning on installing instead of ubuntu?
[01:52] <epitaf> fyrestrtr : ok
[01:52] <fredl> Dapper 'n all, dist-upgrade?
[01:52] <epitaf> SillyZ : Win XP
[01:52] <surface> fredl:  ya, i am not using totem plguin, but mplayer plugin
[01:52] <wetduck> Man I tell you I cant copy from xterm!
[01:53] <SillyZ> epitaf: just run the winxp setup from the cdrom/dvd.... delete the ubuntu partition, delete the swap partition, and create a new partition for Winxp
[01:53] <fyrestrtr> wetduck: highlight the text in xterm, then middle click where you want it pasted.
[01:53] <fredl> surface, well I use the mplayer plugin for wmv's, stopped working too
[01:53] <epitaf> SillyZ : the problem is that i'm not getting to the xp setup
[01:53] <fredl> dunno what I've done...
[01:53] <SillyZ> epitaf: the partitions will be listed as 'unknownn' in the xpsetup
[01:53] <surface> fredl:  strange...
[01:53] <fyrestrtr> epitaf: then this is beyond #ubuntu -- ask in #windows
[01:54] <DB42> Not using mode"1280x1024" (no mode of this name)
[01:54] <DB42> ?
[01:54] <SillyZ> is your system set to boot fromt he hard drive instead of the cdrom?
[01:54] <fredl> surface, I think my computer is punishing me for watching too much pr0n then :)
[01:54] <epitaf> and my bios is set to boot from cd as first choice
[01:54] <wetduck> Doesn't work
[01:54] <fyrestrtr> DB42: you keep asking question, and no one will answer you if you refuse to show the xorg.conf file.
[01:54] <SillyZ> epitaf: join #sillyz
[01:54] <DB42> ok, soon
[01:55] <surface> fredl:  hahaha
[01:55] <wetduck> I just got to highlight the text in xterm then go to gedit.app for example and paste it?
[01:55] <DB42> fyrewall77: is there an PB for uploading text files ?
[01:55] <fyrestrtr> wetduck: yeah
[01:55] <surface> fredl:  then download and watch, don't watch at firefox..
[01:55] <fyrestrtr> !pastebin > DB42
[01:55] <wetduck> Without any keyboard help?
[01:56] <fyrestrtr> wetduck: as I told you, middle click = paste, highlight = copy
[01:56] <DB42> http://pastebin.ca/181780 <-- xorg.conf
[01:57] <wetduck> what is middle click?
[01:57] <wetduck> Is it the middle mouse button click?
[01:57] <wols> middle mouse button
[01:57] <fyrestrtr> wetduck: yes.
[01:57] <Hoxzer> iin kyll se sill menee
[01:57] <Hoxzer> 13:39 <@Naz^> siis enkussa vaikeuksii pst lpi?
[01:58] <DB42> fyrestrtr: something wrong there?
[01:58] <wetduck> I have no middle mouse button but if I go directly on paste it doesnt work.
[01:58] <fyrestrtr> DB42: change the last Modes line to Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768"
[01:58] <DB42> fyrestrtr: but i want the default to be 1024, and only ctrl-alt-+ to 1280....
[01:58] <fyrestrtr> wetduck: if you click both your buttons at once, that's equivalent to middle click.
[01:58] <seraphim> wetduck:  you can use both buttons at once to reproduce a middleclick
[01:58] <fyrestrtr> DB42: then that will work as written.
[01:58] <M_A_K> can anybody suggest a USB wireless network adapter for ubuntu?
[01:58] <DB42> but ctrl-alt-+/- does noething
[01:59] <fyrestrtr> DB42: its cltr+alt and numpad + and numpad -
[01:59] <fyrestrtr> not the one on the top row.
[01:59] <DB42> i know ?
[01:59] <DB42> ..
[01:59] <fyrestrtr> then your vmware device is not capable of that resolution.
[01:59] <wetduck> s Hello
[01:59] <wetduck> {s Hello
[01:59] <wetduck> {s Hello
[02:00] <DB42> fyrestrtr: but ctrl-alt-+/- dont work to 860 and 640 as well...
[02:00] <wetduck> s Hello
[02:00] <DB42> which are less
[02:00] <fyrestrtr> change the resolution from within gnome.
[02:00] <fyrestrtr> system > preferences > screen resolution
[02:01] <DB42> gnome doesnt show me that 1280 option :(
[02:01] <wetduck> Cool, it worked now :)
[02:01] <fyrestrtr> then its not available for your vmware emulated device.
[02:01] <wetduck> Does anybody know a good text editor to use with Java?
[02:01] <Telroth_Plushie|> DB42, the resolution may not be set up in your xorg.conf file
[02:01] <DB42> fyrestrtr: got any clue how i can check it ?
[02:01] <Telroth_Plushie|> wetduck, eclipse
[02:02] <DB42> Telroth_Plushie|: i've published my xorg.conf here, you can check it yourself
[02:02] <wetduck> no, not an ide, just a text app.
[02:03] <era86> anyone know how to completely remove gnome from my comp
[02:03] <fyrestrtr> DB42: nope
[02:03] <wetduck> DB42 where did you post it?

[02:15] <ukjadoon> thr problem is that i cannot download the alternate version on a dialup! =/
[02:15] <DB42> i simply added tar xvzf <filename> | xargs rm -r <-- and it deleted all the files it made :)
[02:15] <DB42> nice trick, ha ?
[02:15] <stefg> ukjadoon: what hardware? how much ram?
[02:16] <ukjadoon> well stefg i have an amd athlon fx 3000+
[02:16] <ukjadoon> with 768 mb ddr
[02:16] <stefg> ukjadoon: sata interface?
[02:16] <ukjadoon> and a geforce 7600 (ubuntu uses the default vesa driver for it)
[02:16] <ukjadoon> no i have ultra ata
[02:16] <wetduck> !samba > wetduck
[02:17] <stefg> ukjadoon: actually that should be able to install from the Desktop CD... There's some PCI-troubl going on, I suspect
[02:17] <ukjadoon> yeahhh
[02:18] <ukjadoon> i checked out the log which shows up during the loading sequence
[02:18] <ukjadoon> and it had something like PCI device not found blah blah
[02:18] <ukjadoon> i just have the live CDs for both ubuntu and kubuntu
[02:18] <ukjadoon> :S
[02:19] <ukjadoon> any way to fix this pci problem?
[02:19] <ukjadoon> only my modem is pci....should i remove it and try?
[02:20] <stefg> ukjadoon: to find out more change to another VT during install (i thing VT10 is used for logging) and try if you can run lspci or demsg from VT2 or so. BTW ubuntu and kubuntu  use the same underlying infrastructure, so when ubuntu doesn't work, kubuntu will neither
[02:20] <DB42> can anybody help me with the issue that when scrolling very fast with the mousewhell in my 7-button mouse, X (in ubuntu) decideds that it's button 7 command instead of button 5 ?!?
[02:20] <stefg> ukjadoon: your optical drive is 100% ok?
[02:20] <ukjadoon> yeah they both don't work....i am a newbie to ubuntu and kubuntu and i don't know my way around the commands at all
[02:21] <ukjadoon> yeah my optical drive was perfecto
[02:21] <ukjadoon> i ran that check
[02:21] <ukjadoon> nothing wrong with both the ubuntu or kubuntu live cds
[02:21] <DB42> ukjadoon: why not try what i said ?
[02:21] <stefg> ukjadoon: what's your motherboard?
[02:21] <ukjadoon> i have an ASYS K8n4-E deluxe
[02:22] <ukjadoon> DB42 i cannot download the tar version of ubuntu or kubuntu cause i am on dialup
[02:22] <ukjadoon> i just have the cds
[02:22] <ukjadoon> *ASUS
[02:22] <DB42> "tar version" ?
[02:22] <DB42> i see.. well good luck..
[02:22] <Arrick> how do I set the primary DNS that is used in Ubuntu Breezy?
[02:23] <DB42> it's not in /etc/resolv.conf ?
[02:23] <lupine_85> in /etc/resolv.conf
[02:23] <lupine_85> put it in
[02:23] <smsrnb> !edgy
[02:23] <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
[02:23] <DB42> nobody here has 7 button mouse ?
[02:24] <wetduck> !samba
[02:24] <ubotu> samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[02:24] <Arrick> lupine_85, was that for me?
[02:24] <lupine_85> yes :)
[02:24] <Arrick> ok thanks
[02:24] <ukjadoon> i am doomed right?:S
[02:25] <Arrick> lupine can you show me an example line?
[02:25] <lupine_85> ukjadoon: unless you want to manually install it, yes
[02:25] <lupine_85> Arrick: nameserver <blah>
[02:25] <Arrick> ok
[02:25] <Arrick> thanks again
[02:26] <lupine_85> you can also put "dns-nameserver <blah>" into /etc/network/interfaces
[02:26] <ukjadoon> damn =(
[02:26] <stefg> ukjadoon: so your motherboard should be supported, there are several sources which say they have it running
[02:26] <Arrick> ok
[02:26] <ukjadoon> ohhh really?
[02:26] <ukjadoon> well then why this problem? =S is it my video card or my conexant modem then?
[02:27] <stefg> ukjadoon: are you trying 64bit or 32bit installation
[02:28] <ukjadoon> 64 bit version of ubuntu 6.06 cause i have a 64 bit processor
[02:28] <DB42> 64bit sux :)
[02:28] <ukjadoon> lol
[02:28] <DB42> i think most 64bit desktop cpu's still use 32bit os
[02:28] <stefg> ukjadoon: ah, ok... to be short and brutally honest: forget that. use 32 bit, it's more fun
[02:28] <ukjadoon> should i try the 32 bit cd?
[02:29] <ukjadoon> ohhh alright stefg
[02:29] <ukjadoon> i'll give that a shot then
[02:29] <samu2> Is the terminal app in ubuntu xterm?
[02:29] <mjr> ukjadoon, if you are intending to run proprietary software on your box, 32-bit OS is probably easier. If not, 64-bit OS is faster and nicer ;P
[02:29] <stefg> ukjadoon: http://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/2005/07/msg00011.html
[02:29] <ukjadoon> but i really wonder how did this version slipped through quality assurance
[02:30] <ukjadoon> i mean just to booth the thing i had to add the ide=nodma at the boot command line lol which took me a whole 6 hours to figure out through forums
[02:30] <ukjadoon> ohhh alright lemme check
[02:31] <DB42> ukjadoon: welcome to linux
[02:31] <DB42> w8 till you have to setup stuff AFTER you get it running :)
[02:31] <stefg> ukjadoon: we all do the same... the dapper kernels leave somwhat to wish...
[02:31] <ukjadoon> yeah
[02:31] <ukjadoon> well i guess it will work with the 32 bit version, linux rules though
[02:31] <wetduck> quite strange Java on Linux. Ive never heard of this gij before, someone could clearify that form e please/
[02:32] <wetduck> ?
[02:32] <ukjadoon> i was just wondering if i can run most of my fav windows apps on it through WINE
[02:32] <DB42> why ?..
[02:32] <DB42> just learn to fav new linux apps
[02:32] <wols> ukjadoon: if you want to do that: go back to windows
[02:32] <wetduck> !java
[02:32] <ubotu> 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
[02:32] <stefg> ukjadoon: you could try to use 'noapic' as a  additional parameter. Maybe that changes something. but don't bother to install 64bit anyway.. half of your multimedia stuff won't have codecs, and several other glitches
[02:33] <ukjadoon> ohhh
[02:33] <k-man> for some reason, mythtv isunable to play audio for me
[02:33] <k-man> its as though it can't write to the sound card
[02:33] <ukjadoon> yeah one really helpful dude last night told me about noapic params, nolapic as well as acpi=off etc etc
[02:34] <ukjadoon> so should i add it just like i wrote the ide=nodma command inside the boot command line?
[02:34] <stefg> yes
[02:34] <k-man> what sound device should itell mythtv to write to? /dev/audio seems to be locked
[02:34] <k-man> as does /dev/dsp
[02:34] <ukjadoon> but i really don't know what nolapic noapic or acpi=off do =S
[02:34] <lupine_85>  /dev/snd/<something> ?
[02:35] <stefg> learn that later ... :-)
[02:35] <k-man> oh...ok
[02:35] <wetduck> !Blackdown
[02:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about Blackdown - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:35] <DB42> ukjadoon: how about disabling apic / acpi features?
[02:35] <lupine_85> better to get it to use alsa/esd/artsd if possible though
[02:35] <ukjadoon> ohhh i will try all these command line options then =D
[02:35] <neil> hi
[02:36] <koolatron> hi there
[02:36] <neil> i just noticed that my sudo su password no more works ! seems im not in the wheel group too... any idea for all that ?
[02:36] <neil> hi koolatron
[02:36] <koolatron> "sudo su"?
[02:36] <koolatron> you should be using just "sudo" or "sudo -s" if you want a shell
[02:37] <neil> i used to use "sudo su -" to be root
[02:37] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> !ubotu: XMMS
[02:37] <ubotu> Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Banshee, Beep Media Player, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine  -  See also !codecs
[02:37] <neil> ah ?
[02:37] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> u can use sudo -H -s
[02:37] <neil> koolatron: thanks :) it works :p
[02:37] <ukjadoon> hey thank u stefg and DB42 for all the help =D
[02:37] <Mortice> or sudo -i
[02:37] <neil> dunno why i was using sudo su
[02:37] <koolatron> ya, plenty of ways to skin a cat
[02:37] <DB42> sure thing
[02:37] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> people can anyone tell me why not to instsll Compiz
[02:37] <koolatron> but "sudo su" isn't one of em
[02:37] <DB42> if it doesnt work, try getting alternative vrsion cd
[02:38] <chuckyp> neil, well sudo su - will give you root with root's path.
[02:38] <DB42> PunjabiFLOYDIAN: isnt compiz called beryl now ?
[02:38] <neil> thanks :)
[02:38] <koolatron> PunjabiFLOYDIAN: because it'd irritating and has a big chance of not working?
[02:38] <lupine_85> compiz-quinn == beryl
[02:38] <chuckyp> DB42, no beryl is a fork of copiz
[02:38] <lupine_85> compiz==compiz
[02:38] <gimmulf_> Vad tycker ni om en powermac g5 1.8ghz x2 med en 20" apple cinema display fr 14 000:- ?
[02:38] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> koolatron: is it cool?
[02:38] <koolatron> PunjabiFLOYDIAN: oh hell yeah
[02:38] <lupine_85> very
[02:38] <DB42> rofl :)
[02:38] <lupine_85> especially with the new beta nVidia drivers
[02:38] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> LOL. then i dont see any reason for not installin
[02:39] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> can anyone give me the guide
[02:39] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> i m ready to sacrifice my ubuntu
[02:39] <chuckyp> lupine_85, how is that making a diffference?
[02:39] <lupine_85> all the guides are currently broken
[02:39] <lupine_85> no Xgl
[02:39] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> damn
[02:39] <DB42> PunjabiFLOYDIAN: i belive there is a direct channel for that #ubuntu-xgl
[02:39] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> DB42: no one replies in taht channel. its sooo ironical
[02:39] <lupine_85> that's not iron
[02:39] <osfameron> why do people look at XGL/Compiz and laugh that the Windows equivalent isn't ready yet?  XGL isn't ready yet! :-)
[02:39] <lupine_85> ironic*
[02:40] <lupine_85> and you're not in there atm anyway
[02:40] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> lol
[02:40] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> how can i view the kernel?
[02:40] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> :D
[02:40] <koolatron> PunjabiFLOYDIAN: There are plenty of good reasons not to do it, one is that Xgl will tend to break your other GL apps
[02:40] <lupine_85> cat /vmlinuz
[02:40] <chuckyp> PunjabiFLOYDIAN, what do you mena?
[02:40] <koolatron> There are workarounds, but still
[02:41] <lupine_85> koolatron: no it doesn't :)
[02:41] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> i want to see the C code. come on guys. i m a newbie. a little fun?
[02:41] <lupine_85> oh, the source... linux-source.2.6.15
[02:41] <wols> PunjabiFLOYDIAN: http://kernel.org
[02:41] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> can we really modify the source?
[02:41] <chuckyp> lupine_85, he's being sarcastic
[02:41] <chuckyp> PunjabiFLOYDIAN, yeah
[02:41] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> i mean - is it really possible to modify and recompile?
[02:41] <koolatron> PunjabiFLOYDIAN: yes, totally
[02:42] <lupine_85> chuckyp: I can't see it
[02:42] <koolatron> PunjabiFLOYDIAN: provided you understand that the kernel is a gordian knot of complexity
[02:42] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> well. i can modify the printf messagesd
[02:42] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> lol
[02:42] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> :P
[02:42] <Arcad3> Punjaby ..try remastering
[02:42] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> yeah. see its simple. i dont need to go in the details.
[02:42] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> just simple message hacking.
[02:42] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> :D
[02:42] <Arcad3> if u wanna change pics lines blah blah
[02:43] <Arcad3> yes
[02:43] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> arcad3: exactly
[02:43] <erUSUL_> !enter
[02:43] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[02:43] <Arcad3> u want a link to a how to?
[02:43] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> ok let us obey ubotu. please everyone. respect.
[02:43] <koolatron> Work time..  take care, all
[02:44] <Arcad3> ?
[02:44] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> arcad3: sure. just gimem the link.
[02:44] <Arcad3> !pastebin https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization
[02:44] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pastebin https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:44] <Arcad3> sorry
[02:44] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> lol. this ubotu gets emotional.
[02:45] <Arcad3> u got the link?
[02:45] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> yeah thanks :D
[02:45] <gnomefreak> Seveas: ping
[02:45] <Ulixes> anyone know ho to use a tv card in ubuntu?
[02:45] <Arcad3> Ounjaby i'll try it miself:D
[02:45] <stefg> Ulixes: analog or DVB?
[02:45] <Ulixes> analog
[02:45] <chuckyp> Really getting salty that I can't resize this ntfs partition.  I'm right clicking on it in gparted and the resize option is greyed out.
[02:45] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> goodybe everyone. happy hacking.
[02:46] <Ulixes> stefg can you help me?
[02:46] <thoreauputic> chuckyp: did you make sure it isn't mounted?
[02:46] <chuckyp> thoreauputic, well If I unmount it.  Then gparted complains that it can't read the data.
[02:46] <stefg> Ulixes: if it's supported all you need is a tv-app, like xawtv.. check dmesg and lsmod if there's all drivers present already
[02:47] <Ulixes> stefg i'm not expert in linux can you say me exactly what to do?
[02:47] <thoreauputic> chuckyp: afaik you can't resize a partition while it's mounted - at least, you run all kinds of risks doing so
[02:47] <Arcad3> guys i have a prob with my ubuntu
[02:47] <Arcad3> i must use Win and its sucks
[02:47] <chuckyp> thoreauputic, I just umounted it then restarted gparted now it complains "Unable to read the filesystem.
[02:48] <Janchi> @ Arcad3 Shoot
[02:48] <Janchi> Wht is wrong
[02:48] <Arcad3> when Ubuntu splash loads the DHCP..bla bla
[02:48] <chuckyp> thoreauputic, err read the contents of the filesytem.  Because of this some options may be unavailible Did you install the correct plugin for this filesystem?
[02:48] <stefg> Ulixes: open a termianl and type dmesg in there. Copy and paste the output to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ ... do the same with the output of lsmod and lspci
[02:48] <Arcad3> stops at mounting root
[02:48] <Arcad3> freezes
[02:48] <Seveas> gnomefreak, ?
[02:49] <k-man> does ubuntu use ESD under gnome for playing audio?
[02:49] <gnomefreak> hold on Seveas im getting pastebin ready for you
[02:49] <thoreauputic> chuckyp: hmm - well I no longer use windows/ntfs so I guess I'm not much help - I assume it needs ntfs-utils or something of the kind
[02:49] <chuckyp> thoreauputic, thats what its saying if I click on information for the parition with it umounted and resize is still greyed out.
[02:49] <gnomefreak> Seveas: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24765
[02:49] <Arcad3> any other solution to my prob ?
[02:50] <chuckyp> thoreauputic, okay let me give ntfs-utils a try I assumed all would be kosher since I'm able to mount and use the partiton.
[02:50] <Arcad3> or i must format and reinstall?
[02:50] <thoreauputic> ntfsprogs maybe
[02:50] <gnomefreak> Seveas: im thinking its a bug but rather have your opinion on it
[02:50] <thoreauputic> apt-cach search ntfs
[02:50] <azcazandco> HI can anyone gimme a little hand with 2 things?  First up I have installed all the LAMP tools I need for a local web server but am unsure of what to do next (I used to use xampp under windows before I switched) and also I have a windows box that I need to be able to share a folder with my ubuntu box.
[02:50] <thoreauputic> * apt-cache search ntfs
[02:50] <chuckyp> thoreauputic, yeah  I'm not that much of a noob i'll find it.
[02:50] <chuckyp> thoreauputic, brb
[02:51] <thoreauputic> chuckyp: OK :)
[02:51] <Seveas> gnomefreak, that's not a bug
[02:51] <gnomefreak> oh
[02:51] <Arcad3> azaca get apache is easier
[02:51] <Seveas> why would it be?
[02:51] <Seveas> someone requests a bogus factoid and ubotu correctly reports that it's non-existant
[02:51] <gnomefreak> Seveas: its not giving the info about pastebin it gave about cd custom
[02:52] <gnomefreak> Seveas: !pastebin is a good one
[02:52] <azcazandco> Arcad3: I have downloaded apache
[02:52] <Seveas> gnomefreak, wtf are you talking about?!? he requested !pastebin http://some_url
[02:52] <Ulixes> stefg: the first one http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24766
[02:52] <Seveas> which is completely bogus
[02:52] <stefg> k
[02:52] <wols> azcazandco: "d"? just the same as in windows. add files to your /var/www/ that's all
[02:52] <TheMafia> What is the most likely program to use for organizing files on an ipod under ubuntu?
[02:52] <gnomefreak> oph crap
[02:52] <Arcad3> u want me to say what to do next?
[02:53] <azcazandco> I ran this last night sudo apt-get install apache2 php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server
[02:53] <Arcad3> wols is right
[02:53] <chuckyp> thoreauputic, yeap ntfsprogs did the trick,  well i'm sure it was one of the lib's that it installs actually but that worked ty.
[02:53] <gnomefreak> Seveas: nvm i thought he just did !pastebin and ubotu spit the rest out
[02:53] <Ulixes> the other commands do not exist
[02:53] <Ulixes> so?
[02:53] <thoreauputic> chuckyp: np :)
[02:53] <azcazandco> okay, so how do I get mysql running etc?
[02:53] <gnomefreak> my brain is mush today
[02:53] <mikl> aaaaaaaaaaaaargh - remind me never to use usermod -G again
[02:54] <chuckyp> thoreauputic, Now i'm just working on creating a seperate /home So I can't keep all my stuff there.
[02:54] <wols> azcazandco: it most probably already runs. ps aux |grep mysql
[02:54] <mikl> I just managed to remove myself from whatever group I need to be in to use sudo
[02:54] <stefg> Phewww... paste.ubuntu.nl.org takes ages....
[02:54] <rambo3> thats good since you dont know what your doing
[02:54] <azcazandco> wols: so do I need to setup a root users etc?
[02:54] <Ulixes> yes
[02:55] <Arcad3> azaca:mysqladmin -u root password UR PASSWORD
[02:55] <wols> azcazandco: read the mysql manual
[02:55] <thoreauputic> chuckyp: the main thing I had to remember when I reorganised my partitions was to re-organise grub and /etc/fstab :) Otherwise it was pretty much point and click
[02:55] <azcazandco> also I am guessing I need to change permissions on the /var/www folder?
[02:55] <Arcad3> chmod 777 /var/www
[02:56] <wols> Arcad3: jave fun with a rooted webserver
[02:56] <wols> *have
[02:56] <azcazandco> are there no security issues with that?
[02:56] <chuckyp> thoreauputic, yeah I know I need some really weird command to cp the files over because of all the .blah in ~
[02:56] <Arcad3> rm -R /var/www/apache2-default
[02:56] <azcazandco> Arcad3: why do I remove that?
[02:56] <thoreauputic> chuckyp:  cp -a should cover it for the dot files
[02:57] <Arcad3> so u can add an index
[02:57] <azcazandco> does that not break it?
[02:57] <Arcad3> this files takes hdd space
[02:57] <Arcad3> no
[02:57] <azcazandco> ok
[02:57] <stefg> ... someone is trampling on my internet-cable, it seems
[02:57] <mngrif> i made a huge mistake... i installed ubuntu, and then kubuntu-desktop since I can't stand gnome, and now I'm not exactly sure how to get rid of the gnome bloat. selecting ubuntu-desktop for removal doesn't do it. suggestions?
[02:57] <chuckyp> thoreauputic, argh have to reboot to windows complaining of ntfs cluster errors need to run chkdisk /f a few times first.
[02:58] <Arcad3> azaca:open gedit write something there
[02:58] <i4get> download kubuntu?
[02:58] <chuckyp> thoreauputic, alright brb I thought most people were using cpio or something like that.
[02:58] <k-man> does gnome use esd by default?
[02:58] <Arcad3> then save as index.html
[02:58] <wols> mngrif: remove your gtk libs
[02:58] <chuckyp> but brb none the less
[02:58] <stefg> Ulixes: you hardware is recognized and ready to go. All you need is a TV-Application and a channel-configuration
[02:58] <daurn> hi all
[02:58] <daurn> maybe stupid question
[02:58] <mngrif> wols: erm, i'm kindof using them...
[02:58] <daurn> but, where do i get libcrypto?
[02:58] <daurn> doesn't seem to be in synaptic
[02:58] <Arcad3> index.html pu it to war/www
[02:59] <azcazandco> Arcad3: am I better to chown the /var/www folder to my user:group?
[02:59] <wols> mngrif: do you want to remove it all or not?
[02:59] <azcazandco> or create a group called webserver or something and add my user to that?
[02:59] <Ulixes> stefg
[03:00] <Ulixes> so what to do??
[03:00] <azcazandco> I want to be able to write to that folder from a windows box also
[03:00] <Ulixes> name of tv app?
[03:00] <Arcad3> how many sites u wanna make ?
[03:00] <Ulixes> and channel configurator?
[03:00] <azcazandco> Arcad3: plently
[03:00] <jrib> daurn: apt-cache search -n lib crypt    <-- returns a lot of results including libgcrypt11, is that what you are looking for?
[03:00] <mngrif> wols: gnome as a whole, i can understand esd and such ilk being pulled in through gtk-gnome dependancies, but i don't need gnome itself and all of it's bloat
[03:00] <Arcad3> make folders for each site
[03:00] <Arcad3> then consult the apache how to
[03:00] <mngrif> besides, don't most distros provide non-gnome gtk libs?
[03:00] <azcazandco> Arcad3: just never done this from scratch before
[03:01] <Arcad3> point to multiple sites
[03:01] <daurn> jrib: no idea - i'm trying to compile something that need md5.h - and it can't find it
[03:01] <wols> azcazandco: you should already have a group www-data
[03:01] <stefg> choose a mediaplayer u like, which has TV capabilities.. I prefer VLC, but xine and mplayer and all there frontends like kaffeine or totem would work, too
[03:01] <Ranbee> hi, i have two computers next to one another, connected through ethernet. what's the best way for them both to use them same screen and keyboard?
[03:01] <Ulixes> and then??
[03:01] <azcazandco> wols: my /var/www is root:root
[03:01] <jrib> daurn: You usually need the -dev packages that correspond to a package.  You can search for which packages have a file at packages.ubuntu.com.  But what are you trying to compile?
[03:02] <trainer> ranbee, http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/
[03:02] <stefg> Ulixes: then configure it and start watching TV :-)... :-)
[03:02] <Arcad3> azaca:http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/412
[03:02] <azcazandco> Arcad3: thanks
[03:02] <Ulixes> ok thanks
[03:02] <Arcad3> np
[03:03] <Ranbee> trainer: thanks, synergy was the only thing i thought of, but i haven't looked at it yet. i'll have alook now. thanks :)
[03:03] <cristian[ifir] > hello, i'm having a problem with debmirror
[03:03] <cristian[ifir] > it seems it can't download Packages file anymore
 klm switch?
[03:03] <cristian[ifir] > any ideas if dapper changed the mirror layout?
[03:04] <trainer> Ranbee, I'm using it right now, it owns :-P
[03:04] <Ranbee> i4get: is that like KVM switchs monitor keyboard and mouse?
 yes
[03:05] <cristian[ifir] > ?
[03:05] <Ranbee> trainer: i'm going to try it now. i4get is that hardware? i haven't used it
 yes its hardware..I do not know if thats what you really want try synergy and see
[03:06] <Ranbee> i4get: ok, thanks for the help :)
[03:06] <thoreauputic> I use synergy here - but I think synergy is for multiple machines with a monitor each, not one monitor for multiple machines?
[03:07] <thoreauputic> you can use the keyboard and mouse for all machines though
[03:07] <wols> thoreauputic: yes. but you can probably cheat with remote X servers
[03:07] <thoreauputic> wolki: true, nice idea
[03:08] <i4get> so does syneargy need to be installed on all machines?
[03:08] <thoreauputic> i4get: yes
[03:08] <i4get> ok
[03:08] <i4get> thanks
[03:08] <thoreauputic> i4get: one acts as server, the others as clients
[03:08] <thoreauputic> but synergy includes both
[03:09] <i4get> so its kind of like remote desktop
[03:09] <thoreauputic> no
[03:09] <Ranbee> well i have SUSE on my main box (ubuntu won't run on it. it uses RAID) and Dapper on an older box. i want to use Dapper on my good monitor
[03:09] <scrp> o m g
[03:09] <thoreauputic> it lets you move your mouse from one screen to another
[03:09] <i4get> nevermind that last statement...olol
[03:09] <scrp> why did Ubuntu not use SMP in my kernel with my uber super duper Centrino Duo cpu
[03:09] <i4get> gotcha
[03:10] <thoreauputic> i4get: the keyboard focus follows the mouse ( left, right, up, down)
[03:10] <cristian[ifir] > anyone using debmirror to create a local repository?
[03:10] <scrp> do i have to manually compile my kernel to use SMP ?
[03:10] <i4get> looking and reading on it now

[03:11] <txoof> I've installed the ubuntu server package and I'm trying to compile an application.  The application's configure script complains "checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works... no"
[03:11] <i4get> so each one has to have its own monitor...blah...
[03:11] <stefg> scrp: you might want to have a look at the kernel-conf :-) could be a surprise
[03:11] <txoof> How can I coax out more information about what's wrong with gcc?
[03:12] <thoreauputic> i4get: as wols pointed out, you can get multiple machines on one screen using remote X or ssh -X etc
[03:12] <erUSUL> txoof: you have to install it first...
[03:12] <erUSUL> !b-e > txoof
[03:12] <wols> txoof: configure.log. but you lack stuff like binutils, libc headers, etc
[03:12] <txoof> erUSUL: well, I did run apt-get install gcc and it appears to have been installed.
[03:12] <i4get> yes......
[03:13] <txoof> Is there a meta package that will install everything that a typical gcc install needs?
[03:13] <thoreauputic> i4get: or vnc or freenx ( same idea, different implementations)
[03:13] <crimsun> build-essential
[03:13] <erUSUL> txoof: install build essential
[03:13] <erUSUL> txoof: read the ubotu pm
[03:13] <i4get> played
[03:13] <thoreauputic> i4get: ssh is a must-have :)
[03:14] <scrp> stefg: kernel-conf? :)
[03:14] <txoof> erUSUL: what about pm?  Have I been msging you?
[03:14] <i4get> hmm...is there a url or place that has examples of ssh for dummies?...

[03:15] <scrp> Do i have to manually recompile my kernel to use SMP with the Centrino Duo CPU ??
[03:15] <infidel> how to i add nubuntu to my ubuntu box?
[03:15] <txoof> erUSUL: I understand that, but I don't quite understand why you driected me to it.  Have I missed something?
[03:15] <erUSUL> scrp: afaik there are smp kernels aviable in the repos
[03:15] <scrp> it says im using PREEMPT instead of SMP :S
[03:15] <stefg> !info linux-image-2.6.15-27-686

[03:16] <txoof> Well, that worked great!
[03:16] <erUSUL> txoof: you should have recived a pm from ubotu telling you to install build-essential...
[03:16] <stefg> scrp, note the middle part where it says SMP/UP :-)
[03:16] <scrp> erUSUL: so i should use apt-get install to get the SMP kernel and it should use the existing settings?
[03:16] <scrp> no manual compiling required?
[03:17] <stefg> scrp: you're already running a smp-kernel :-)
[03:17] <wols> scrp: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[03:17] <scrp> stefg: oh, how would i enable smp then?
[03:17] <scrp> wols: there is only 1 cpu there
[03:18] <txoof> erUSUL: ahh, no I didn't.
[03:19] <txoof> blast.  What package do I need for ncurses?
[03:19] <txoof> or more specifically for all the headers and such.
[03:19] <scrp> stefg: i dont get it, if im already running a smp kernel, why isnt SMP enabled in cpuinfo or uname -a

[03:20] <telmich> hoi
[03:20] <nash-18> ?
[03:21] <telmich> what shall I do, so I can see the IPP printers in the network?
[03:21] <txoof> what would cause this error: nmixer.c:18:2: warning: #warning "Can't find any ncurses include file!" ?
[03:21] <txoof> I installed the ncurses dev package.
[03:21] <telmich> on my debian installation, when I started cups, it automatically added them and the clients (firefox, oo.o) could use them
[03:22] <pradeep_> txoof, what is line 18 of nmixer.c?
[03:23] <txoof> pradeep_: "warning "Can't find any ncurses include file!""
[03:24] <txoof> line 16 is: include <curses.h>
[03:25] <pradeep_> curses.h is missing
[03:25] <Guard] [an> hello
[03:25] <Arcad1> can i get some help?
[03:25] <txoof> pradeep_: erf.  what do I need to fix that?
[03:25] <Arcad1> my ubuntu freezes at mountig Root
[03:25] <Guard] [an> is the window manager responsible of the selection of the gtk theme ?
[03:26] <Arcad1> now i'm using Knoppix live cd
[03:26] <Guard] [an> when i launch a GTK application without a window manager, ok i don't have windows decoration, but also the stock icons are the default GTK ones
[03:26] <scrp> if i use apt-get install to get a kernel, will it automaticly load it into grub ? all i have to do is reboot ?
[03:26] <telmich> got, it, was a wrong entry in /etc/cups/cups.d/browse.conf
[03:27] <Guard] [an> when i launch xfwm4 before launching the application, i get windows decorations (i don't care about them) but also the GTK stock icons used by the application are nicer
[03:27] <Guard] [an> any idea ?
[03:27] <greX> hi
[03:27] <Arcad3> hi
[03:29] <greX> beim installieren  von linux ubuntu kommt die fehlermeldung 'graphische benutzeroberflche konnte nicht gestartet werden' und noch was mit dem x-server  ... wei jemand an was das liegt? (kann daher linux nicht installieren)
[03:29] <pradeep_> txoof, ncurses.h should be in /usr/include dir
[03:29] <pradeep_> greX, #ubuntu-de
[03:29] <Samuli^> greX, #ubuntu-de
[03:29] <greX> k thx^
[03:30] <txoof> pradeep_: oddly, it isn't.  packages.ubuntu.com claims that libncurses5-dev should supply it, but it doesn't appear to be there.
[03:30] <lupine_85> dpkg -L libncurses5-dev

[03:32] <lupine_85> enable IP forwarding
[03:32] <Arcad3> make a bridge:)
[03:32] <xgmm> how ?
[03:32] <Blob> HI all - I'm wondering why the recommended updates from update-manager differ (sometimes wildly) from the CLI aptitude install command.  Anyone with any ideas?
[03:32] <txoof> Herm.  OK, both .h files are present, but the compiler is still complaining that it can't find any ncurses include files.  Is there anything that needs to be updated in the compiler?

[03:34] <ubotu> rpm is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous).
[03:34] <DB42> btw, sharing an internet connectiong isng bridging it
[03:34] <Arcad3> xgmm :google ur prob
[03:35] <Arcad3> umay find it on a forum
[03:35] <lupine_85> for ip forwarding, make sure your network is sane then echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
[03:35] <LiraNuna> hello
[03:35] <lupine_85> you'll need to sudo it, obviouslu
[03:35] <brush01uk> Hi Everyone, hope all well & have a good day
[03:35] <LiraNuna> somone knows how can i share an internet connection?

[03:35] <lupine_85> deja vu :)
[03:35] <pradeep_> txoof, how are you compiling it? does the gcc argument have -I /usr/include ?
[03:36] <paras> hi
[03:36] <xgmm> arcad3: do u know how to share connections ?
[03:36] <paras> nope u know
[03:36] <lupine_85> LiraNuna & xgmm: make sure your network is sane, then enable IP forwarding by running "sudo echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"
[03:36] <lupine_85> that's it
[03:37] <LiraNuna> bash: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward: Permission denied
[03:37] <Arcad3> nope
[03:37] <Arcad3> use sudo in front of the command
[03:37] <gnomefreak> anyone ever make a tar before i could really use help on this tar is being a beast
[03:37] <LiraNuna> liranuna@liranuna-desktop:~$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
[03:37] <LiraNuna> 1
[03:38] <LiraNuna> Arcad3, i DID
[03:38] <lupine_85> that's fine then
[03:38] <LiraNuna> liranuna@liranuna-desktop:~$ sudo echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
[03:38] <LiraNuna> bash: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward: Permission denied
[03:38] <lupine_85> you've already got it enabled
[03:38] <Arcad3> sudo gedit ..
[03:38] <LiraNuna> Arcad3, it should've worked too
[03:38] <lupine_85> no, don't gedit it :)
[03:38] <gcaffese> ---huola

[03:39] <Trae> anyone know how to convert vcf to csv ?  My wife has been using Evolution for email, and now she's switching to gmail which only takes in csv for address books.
[03:39] <lupine_85> all you need to do is make sure that your network is sane, and you're done
[03:39] <Trae> I've googled and not come up with much
[03:39] <LiraNuna> lupine_85, 'sane' ?
[03:39] <LiraNuna> it works on windows sharing
[03:39] <LiraNuna> and i don't want to use windows to have my 360 conencted to the internet
[03:39] <lupine_85> as in, the network topology
[03:40] <lupine_85> so the two interfaces should be on different subnets, and your router should have a static route giving your linux PC as the gateway for the other interface
[03:40] <TeePOG> hi again
[03:40] <Arcad3> i can't help
[03:42] <LiraNuna> lupine_85, how can i do that
[03:44] <rich_> hey guys is it best to install the glx nvidia drivers from synaptic or d/l the drivers from nvidia?
[03:44] <Arcad3> rich
[03:45] <Arcad3> sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[03:45] <Arcad3> sudo nvidia-config enable
[03:45] <rich_> the just enable it correct and restart x?
[03:45] <Arcad3> before restart x
[03:46] <Arcad3> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:46] <rich_> will i get the same performance using that playing games like q4 rather than downloading from the site?
[03:46] <Arcad3> and change NV to Nvidia
[03:46] <Arcad3> use glx
[03:46] <Arcad3> from where u want
[03:46] <rich_> ok thx much appreciated

[04:06] <dajoru> Hi I am trying to install a sofware and it ask me "Directory containing linux kernel source code"
[04:06] <dajoru> can anyone help me?
[04:07] <J_P> Jack_Sparrow: 3G network
[04:07] <Jack_Sparrow> dajoru: What are you trying to compile/install?
[04:07] <ladydoor> dajoru: ok, what are you trying to install, what step did this spit it out on, and what was the exact error?
[04:07] <screechingcat> erSUL : this script - http://lamparder320.googlepages.com/BonEchobeta2.txt
[04:07] <erUSUL> screechingcat: then you are on your own i do not know what the script did or how... (take it as a warning of not blindly use scripts)
[04:08] <dajoru> Jack_Sparrow: it's a vpn soft
[04:08] <screechingcat> okay thanks for the help
[04:08] <erUSUL> screechingcat: undo the last 6 lines of the script
[04:08] <dajoru> it jst ask a bunch of question before it compile/install
[04:09] <thoreauputic> General Remark: Don't use scripts unless you can read and understand them - but if you can do that, you don't need them in the first place since you could write your own
[04:09] <screechingcat> delete the last six lines and run it again ?
[04:09] <SpaceFrog> What's the best bittorrent util for Linux?
[04:09] <Neo8750> thoreauputic: not unless your just a lazy person
[04:09] <Jack_Sparrow> thoreauputic: Good one..
[04:09] <thoreauputic> SpaceFrog: matter of taste
[04:10] <SpaceFrog> I use azureus on Windows, i was thinking I might install it on Ubuntu
[04:10] <SpaceFrog> i haven't used anything else, really
[04:10] <thoreauputic> SpaceFrog: I use Azureus - works fine
[04:10] <aeroSoul> dajoru: you probably have to apt-get install linux-source
[04:10] <thoreauputic> SpaceFrog: jus tbe sure to install sun java
[04:10] <fux0r> can anyone plz help me configuring my wlan connection?
[04:10] <aeroSoul> then untar the file in /usr/src
[04:10] <thoreauputic> !java
[04:10] <ubotu> 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
[04:10] <erUSUL> screechingcat: no undo them for example sudo dpkg-divert --divert /usr/bin/firefox.ubuntu --rename /usr/bin/firefox will become sudo dpkg-divert --divert /usr/bin/firefox --rename /usr/bin/firefox.ubuntu
[04:10] <SpaceFrog> thanks thoreauputic
[04:11] <Neo8750> thoreauputic: did you have any problems getting it to load at first? mine always crashed durning boot[
[04:11] <Neo8750> boot = loading
[04:11] <ladydoor> erUSUL: actually, you can remove a diversion
[04:11] <dajoru> aeroSoul: hmm ok i will have a look
[04:11] <ladydoor> erUSUL: man dpkg-divert
[04:11] <thoreauputic> Neo8750: Azureus? No crashes but the dapper version has some little bugs
[04:11] <screechingcat> erSUL : ok will do. thanks for the help mate
[04:11] <erUSUL> screechingcat: or you will have to delete /usr/bin/firefox (make sure you delete the link pointing to /opt/.... not the actual binary.)
[04:11] <thoreauputic> Neo8750: I got the tarball of 2.5.0 which has fixed the problems
[04:12] <Neo8750> i didn't go after the tarball maybe that willmake differnce i'll remeber that next time i'm near that box
[04:12] <fux0r> does anyone here have experiences configuring wlan networks
[04:12] <screechingcat> ok ive got two of them there firefox and firefox.ubuntu
[04:12] <erUSUL> screechingcat: go to the wiki page there you will find how to undo the comands the script uses (they are taken from there)
[04:12] <thoreauputic> Neo8750: I recommend the "good settings" page on the Azureus wiki as well
[04:13] <screechingcat> ok will do
[04:13] <dennda> fux0r: just explain your problem. :)
[04:13] <TheGateKeeper> anyone use ekiga?
[04:13] <fux0r> ^^
[04:13] <rich_> on a fresh install of ubuntu how to i get the module-assistant?  Ive done a search in the synaptic with no luck
[04:13] <Neo8750> thoreauputic: well it probly be a daytill i give it a go
[04:13] <erUSUL> !repos > rich_
[04:13] <thoreauputic> Neo8750: fair enough
[04:14] <fux0r> i've been trying to make my wlan card work for serveral days now and i'm beginning to go crazy
[04:14] <Neo8750> not in same location as desktop that can actually handle runing it
[04:14] <wetduck> I just istalled Java on my Ubuntu but I cannot access javac command, does anyone here have any idea about it ?
[04:14] <_Sasu> hi all i would apreciate some help to install ubuntu in raid 0 with dual boot :) ive searched everywhere but found nothing :( thx ;)
[04:14] <erUSUL> wetduck: maybe you instaled the jre not the jsdk
[04:14] <erUSUL> !lvm
[04:14] <ubotu> Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[04:14] <thoreauputic> erUSUL: BEAT ME TO IT :)
[04:15] <LiraNuna> yay i made it!
[04:15] <LiraNuna> i used Ubuntu-ICS
[04:15] <wetduck> Mmm.. may be. Let me check.
[04:15] <thoreauputic> oops apologies, caps lock
[04:15] <fux0r> i installed the ndiswrapper .deb package but it says that there is 'ndiswrapper.ko' missing when i try to run the module
[04:15] <Jack_Sparrow> I didnt think you could dual boot hardware raid XP and Ubuntu..
[04:15] <_Sasu> thankx :):):D
[04:15] <erUSUL> thoreauputic: lol XD
[04:15] <ladydoor> fux0r: did you install from the repositories?
[04:15] <Neo8750> fux0r: what ndiswrapper did you install ?
[04:15] <thoreauputic> erUSUL: I wasn't really yelling ;)
[04:16] <_Sasu> sparrow are you sure i cant? obotu just sent me a link :P
[04:16] <Jack_Sparrow> _Sasu: Let me know if you can..
[04:16] <_Sasu> :)
[04:16] <_Sasu> sure
[04:16] <fux0r> then i tried to install the ndiswrapper tarball but this doesn't work either because it says that it can't find a kernel thing
[04:17] <screechingcat> erSUL : thanks mate. its fixed now
[04:17] <fux0r> any ideas?
[04:17] <erUSUL> thoreauputic: i know, i know ;)
[04:17] <erUSUL> screechingcat: no problem
[04:17] <Shoiabsafdar> :-/
[04:17] <idefix__> any good sto->avi convertors?
[04:17] <erUSUL> fux0r: 'sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)' but i advice you to use the ubuntu packages
[04:18] <idefix__> or sto->animgif convertors.. ?
[04:18] <fux0r> must i just install the package
[04:18] <erUSUL> idefix__: sto ??
[04:19] <fux0r> and then i can compile the source?
[04:19] <idefix__> sto was made with stopmotion
[04:19] <idefix__> if I remember correctly it was the only output format

[04:19] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[04:19] <idefix__> Bonez56 is this applicably to my question?
[04:20] <Gejr> My laptop's sound is adjusted through the "Side" bar in alsamixer...can anyone help me understand why this is? I've been searching a lot for answers
[04:20] <idefix__> oop y=e
[04:20] <Bonez56> idefix_, no, i'm having a problem myself, i just did a fresh install + automatix but it didnt install w32codecs for some reason
[04:20] <idefix__> !animation
[04:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about animation - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:20] <Gejr> Can anyone help me?
[04:21] <erUSUL> fux0r: the ubuntu kernel comes with precompiled ndiswraper just install the ndisw...-utils package and configure it
[04:21] <Gejr> with laptop sound system
[04:21] <idefix__> who is utomatix?
[04:21] <ladydoor> !automatix > idefix__
[04:21] <screechingcat> trust me u dont wanna kno
[04:21] <thoreauputic> idefix_: typo sorry
[04:22] <fux0r> erUSUL: i already installed it but when i try to run the ndiswapper module it says that ndiswrapper.ko is missing
[04:22] <screechingcat> hey umm i heard the shipit isnt gonna ship edgy cds
[04:22] <Blob> HI all - I'm wondering why the recommended updates from update-manager differ (sometimes wildly) from the CLI aptitude install command.  Anyone with any ideas?
[04:22] <screechingcat> is there anywere else i can get em ?
[04:23] <Gejr> is there a way to route sound to the PCM slider in alsamixer instead of it being on the PCM slider as it is now?
[04:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Automatix is the WORST things you can run.. Once you do.. there is no going back without restoring from a backup or reinstalling.
[04:24] <erUSUL> fux0r:  find /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/ -name '*ndis*' -print
[04:24] <thoreauputic> Gecko_: I'm sure that made some kind of sense, but whatever it was went right by me...
[04:25] <Mortice> Jack_Sparrow: that's not strictly true. You could just read the script you ran and reverse each step.
[04:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Mortice: No you cant
[04:25] <thoreauputic> erm Gejr not Gecko_
[04:25] <Mortice> Jack_Sparrow: what exactly does Automatix do that can't be reversed that way?
[04:25] <Gejr> thoreauputic: hehe...it's difficult to explain this :)
[04:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Mortice: Not going to debate it with you.
[04:26] <screechingcat> yes i want to kno that to . . .why is automatix so evil ?
[04:26] <DethKlok> How do you check to see if there is a package in the repository?
[04:26] <screechingcat> just give us some info
[04:26] <jenda> Any cdrecord gurus around? I'm having constant trouble with it - it fails to fixate one time, fails something else another time. I can pastebin errors.
[04:26] <Mortice> Jack_Sparrow: I'm not looking for a debate, I'm looking for a clarification.
[04:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Mortice: Use it if you want but dont come here wining when it crashes your system
[04:26] <idefix__> if you get some experience with a program how can you be sure you're online when other people have problems?
[04:26] <Gejr> lets just say: my computer plays sound just fine, but I can't adjust the sound in gnome without having to open the alsamixer and adjust the "side" slider instead of the common "PCM"...do you understand that?:)
[04:26] <Mortice> Jack_Sparrow: If you don't want to clarify, I'll just write it off as FUD.
[04:26] <fux0r> there's just an empty folder named ndiswrapper in /lib/modules/.../kernel/something
[04:26] <thoreauputic> DethKlok: search in synaptic or use apt-cache search <keywords>
[04:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Mortice: Once you install things outside the normal repos, it just isnt that easy to undo it
[04:27] <jenda> Mortice: consider it community sponsored FUD. You won't get much automatix support here.
[04:27] <DethKlok> thoreauputic: sudo apt-cache search tftp  , like that?
[04:27] <Mortice> I'm not looking for automatix support
[04:27] <idefix__> any stopmotion experts here?
[04:27] <thoreauputic> DethKlok: like that
[04:27] <Mortice> but it seems better not to mke unqualified statements
[04:27] <DethKlok> Thanks
[04:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Mortice: Not to mention the insults form their channel only show how little they really know
[04:27] <Mortice> Jack_Sparrow: apt-get remove (package name)
[04:27] <Jack_Sparrow> from
[04:27] <thoreauputic> DethKlok: you don't need sudo to search though
[04:28] <Jack_Sparrow> Mortice: If people could read scripts in the first place, they wouldnt use it
[04:28] <Jack_Sparrow> Mortice: Why should we fix their garbage
[04:28] <Gejr> thoreauputic: mind taking a look at my last formulation of the question?:)
[04:28] <fux0r> erUSUL: the problem is that i do not have internet in ubuntu. so i always must reboot in order to try something
[04:28] <Mortice> Jack_Sparrow: Does that change the fact that it does nothing irreversible, as you claim?
[04:28] <erUSUL> fux0r: maybe you need linux-restricted-modules or something
[04:28] <screechingcat> what about easyuubuntu then ?
[04:28] <screechingcat> is that bad too ?
[04:28] <thoreauputic> Mortice: there was a detailed post from an Ubuntu dev on users list some time ago explaining what was wrong with automatix
[04:28] <ladydoor> Mortice: the thing is, automatix installs things from non-standard repositories and from source/binary packages; and Jack_Sparrow wasn't making up the instults--automatix dev's often curse at people who go there to ask for help when something goes wrong
[04:29] <Jack_Sparrow> Mortice: Anything is fixable... but we WONT spend the time.. and they wont spend the time so once you use it you are on your own.
[04:29] <ladydoor> *or insults, even
[04:29] <Mortice> thoreauputic: there's plenty wrong with it, but it's simply not true that you can't reverse what it does without reinstalling
[04:29] <p_masho> How do I get rid of this error running a script "ERROR: JAVA_HOME not found in your environment." . Sorry but newbie question
[04:29] <fux0r> erUSUL: this one: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-23-386_2.6.15.11-1_i386.deb?
[04:29] <thoreauputic> Gejr: no, that doesn't help either - can you open the gnome volume preferences? ( double click the applet in the panel)
[04:29] <ladydoor> p_masho: do this first:  export JAVA_HOME="whatever's appropriate"
[04:29] <Hoxzer> I still can't understand why gnome doesn't load when I uninstall oss2jack and jackd
[04:30] <wols> p_masho: do you have java installed?
[04:30] <Gejr> thoreauputic: yes i can do that
[04:30] <p_masho> yes..
[04:30] <ladydoor> p_masho: replacing everything in quotes with whateer's appropriate
[04:30] <Jack_Sparrow> Mortice: Reinstalling or going to your backup is by far the easiest way to fix the problem
[04:30] <thoreauputic> Mortice: whatever. I've been in this channel since Warty and I can assure you that automatix has caused us no end of extra work
[04:30] <Mortice> Jack_Sparrow: "by far the easiest" != "the only"
[04:30] <erUSUL> fux0r: yes make sure they match your runnig kernel (uname -r)
[04:30] <jenda> Mortice, Jack_Sparrow : I think this is strongly offtopic for this channel. Please stop.
[04:30] <dennda> fux0r: what does "uname -r" say?
[04:30] <Mortice> jenda: fair enough, stopping now
[04:30] <p_masho> "Please, set the JAVA_HOME variable in your environment to match the location of the Java Virtual Machine you want to use." .. so where if java VM ?
[04:30] <fux0r> yes i have 2.6.15-23
[04:30] <ucordes> arr arr! how can i install my no name webcam so i can video chat with my homies?
[04:31] <jenda> Mortice: thanks
[04:31] <wols> Mortice: it IS if reinstalling is less work than fixing it.
[04:31] <fux0r> ok i'll try it but i must reboot now. cu
[04:31] <thoreauputic> I think jenda is right, guys - --->> offtopic ia that way :)
[04:31] <dennda> fux0r: and did you install the file from the repositories or did you just download it somewhere?
[04:32] <chronic1> anyone here using the .ape codec (monkeys audio)
[04:32] <screechingcat> anyone configured a Netgear Wg311v3 wireless adapter ?
[04:33] <dgl> Hi, how can I play my mp3 with Ubuntu, or encode them to ogg?

[04:37] <screechingcat> shipit isnt shiping edgy eft. any other place i can get it ?
[04:37] <t0taln00b> for someone who want to encode oggs from mp3s u can visit vorbis.org there are many useful command line tools
[04:37] <_Sasu> has anyone managed to install in RAID-0 with XP?
[04:37] <Jack_Sparrow> _Sasu: I found this link that may help you with that..https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto
[04:37] <ladydoor> GatoLoko: err, *more* approximate would be something like "2006." less approximate=more specific
[04:37] <erUSUL> dgl: well at the end is up to you... i encode all new stuff in ogg but i have not converted my mp3 to ogg

[04:38] <ucordes> Jack_Sparrow: i whish a good run
[04:39] <ladydoor> GatoLoko: yeah, but i don't know anything more specific. you might look at the ubotu comment about "!schedule," above, for a useful link.
[04:40] <GatoLoko> i'm looking, and loading the fridge web page to look for too
[04:40] <_Sasu> Jack_Sparrow: i need a swap partition for the dual boot, don't i?
[04:40] <t0taln00b> i usually take my foobar2000 mp and use oggenc for encoding to ogg from mp3s and then listen to them on ubuntu :)
[04:40] <screechingcat> is the debian menu in the ubuntu repositories ???

[04:46] <ucordes> !botsnack
[04:46] <ubotu> Yum!
[04:47] <TyggerBob> screechingcat: root@ubuntest:/usr/include# apt-get remove libpcap0.8
[04:47] <TyggerBob> Reading package lists... Done
[04:47] <TyggerBob> Building dependency tree... Done
[04:47] <TyggerBob> The following packages will be REMOVED:

[04:47] <TyggerBob> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 16 to remove and 5 not upgraded.
[04:47] <TyggerBob> that would be bad.
[04:47] <ladydoor> TyggerBob: there's a pastebin at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[04:48] <screechingcat> those are not dependencies. apt-get does not remove dependencies
[04:48] <TyggerBob> Ok.. dependents...
[04:48] <TyggerBob> sorry..
[04:48] <TyggerBob> ladydoor, sorry.. it ended up being more lines than I anticipated..
[04:48] <TyggerBob> my bad
[04:48] <ladydoor> TyggerBob: no worries.
[04:49] <screechingcat> u'l have to remove libcap and then manually reinstall all the others
[04:49] <screechingcat> there's no other way
[04:49] <chronic1> what do i need to do inorder to submit a package to ubuntu
[04:49] <TyggerBob> but then it'll reinstall libpcap as a dependency :)
[04:49] <lupine_85> yep :)

[04:54] <rene32> Places, Connect to server... --> Then choose Windows share
[04:54] <TyggerBob> sorry.. Juhaz, what repo did you find that on?
[04:55] <Juhaz> main. "libpcap0.8" is actually 0.9
[04:55] <TyggerBob> Ahhh..
[04:55] <TyggerBob> hrm.. ok.. I'll try that again..
[04:55] <IceTox> aight.. thanks rene32 :)
[04:55] <ucordes> icetox: hehe i only use windows for gaming too. you should click places/network... and just copy it?
[04:56] <ucordes> screechingcat: you took a look at the guide?

[04:58] <Blob> HI all - I'm wondering why the recommended updates from update-manager differ (sometimes wildly) from the CLI aptitude install command.  Anyone with any ideas?

 LOLZ. two fakes spoil the kernel
[05:05] <idefix__> !tar
[05:05] <ubotu> Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (gnome) or ark (kde) - also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression

[05:06] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> try VideoLAN?
[05:06] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> i use it. its good.

[05:07] <faw2> hi, i need help setting up and optimising azeureus.
 LOL. u knew it or googled?
[05:07] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> faw2: ask
[05:07] <thoreauputic> PunjabiFLOYDIAN: i thought *everybody* knew that URL ;p
[05:07] <faw2> My overall speed is always at around 1kbps which is way below the swarm average shown in the statistics.
[05:07] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> u on ubuntu only i assume/
[05:08] <faw2> I suspect there is a problem with my default networking policy. So can anybody guide me on how to optimise the network for torrent.
[05:08] <screechingcat> so any other VCD players or do i have to boot into Windows
[05:08] <faw2> yup, on Ubuntu LTS gnome only.
[05:08] <thoreauputic> faw2: what client are you using? there's a good "Good setings" page on the azureus wiki
[05:08] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> u checked the seeders and leechers?
[05:08] <thoreauputic> *Good Settings
[05:09] <daydream> hi
[05:09] <wols> faw2: how much uppload do you give azureus and how much is your max upload?
[05:09] <faw2> Ok, i am using azeureus. I didnt check and i will. The seeders and leechers are fine.
[05:09] <faw2> i am experiencing problem with NAT even after i forwarded the port.
[05:09] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> wols is rite. check ur downloading settings.
[05:09] <faw2> unlimited upload
[05:09] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> u behind a router?
[05:10] <faw2> yup, behind a router.
[05:10] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> ok Then u need to configure azureus
[05:10] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> just a sec
[05:10] <wols> faw2: the router is probably shit
[05:10] <thoreauputic> faw2: http://www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/Good_settings
[05:10] <wols> many consumer routers can't handle torrents at all
[05:10] <B|Charm> this channel is packed
[05:10] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=6&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.azureuswiki.com%2Findex.php%2FNAT_problem&ei=YvEXRe-XCaDAgAO5gM37Cg&sig=__JQKgLwj0yfU0STiMH-fJQ2LEToI=&sig2=uE84x5baFRZHnyfrmFekUg
[05:10] <thoreauputic> faw2: that wiki is full of good info for torrents
[05:10] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> oh sorry
[05:10] <daydream> how can i change ubuntu's sources, so once i've booted from the install cd, it downloads all the packages instead of reading them from the CD? (problem is that the cd reader is really messed up and fails very frequently)
[05:11] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/NAT_problem
[05:11] <thoreauputic> PunjabiFLOYDIAN: that's the ugliest URL I've seen for weeks
[05:11] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> LOL. was a mistake
[05:11] <B|Charm> thoreauputic: lol
[05:11] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> faw2: read the thiing

[05:13] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> daydream you there?
[05:13] <hantu> Manyfold: ctrl-alt-f1/f2/f3/f4/f5/f6
[05:13] <hantu> heh
[05:13] <thoreauputic> B|Charm: no, i use slackware </sarcasm>

[05:13] <Manyfold> hantu yes but no shell appears
[05:13] <ucordes> what is the current kernel?

[05:13] <thoreauputic> B|Charm: I'm a chan op on #ubuntu and I don't use Ubuntu?
[05:13] <ucordes> thx
[05:14] <B|Charm> thoreauputic: every other distro I have seen in IRC channels are like, no I use windows
[05:14] <B|Charm> take for example Overclockix
[05:14] <Manyfold> when ca 30% of the installation are done the computer always hangs itself
[05:14] <B|Charm> #octeams on zirc.net
[05:14] <B|Charm> not one person uses it
[05:14] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> manyfold: which distro?
[05:14] <Manyfold> and i don't know what to do :(
[05:14] <thoreauputic> B|Charm: you hang in evil channels :)
[05:15] <B|Charm> lol
[05:15] <SrRaven> Hi everyone...
[05:15] <Manyfold> 6.06 TLS
[05:15] <daydream> PunjabiFLOYDIAN yeah im here, how do i open synaptic? i've been working in text mode until now
[05:15] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> daydream: u dont have X
[05:15] <Manyfold> eh LTS i mean
[05:15] <}btorch{> hey anyone here knows how I can get the ACLs of a file that someone has named it with a "-" as the first character ?
[05:15] <B|Charm> thoreauputic: ok, so we established that you use ubuntu. So when I get done downloading the LiveCD, I can install it as the OS right?
[05:15] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> Manyfold: what is the mssage during which it gets stuck
[05:16] <SrRaven> Easy question,where do I find my windows partition in Linux (I just switched to Ubuntu because my Win crashed unrepairable)
[05:16] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> B|Charm: yup
[05:16] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> SrRaven:
[05:16] <}btorch{> I have tried "-filename"  "\-filename" \-filename but none worked
[05:16] <B|Charm> nice
[05:16] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> login as root
[05:16] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> type
[05:16] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> sudo fdisk -l
[05:16] <thoreauputic> B|Charm: yes, just reboot with the CD in the drive and choose "install"
[05:16] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> now note downt he partition no
[05:16] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> mount it
[05:16] <Manyfold> PunjabiFLOYDIAN: it simply halt's and i don't get no message
[05:16] <B|Charm> thoreauputic: What makes ubuntu better than all the other distros
[05:16] <lupine_85> nothing
[05:16] <screechingcat> exactly
[05:16] <SrRaven> How do I check if im root or not ?
[05:16] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> it doesnt show any message whatsoever?
[05:16] <alscorpion> Hi everybody
[05:16] <thoreauputic> }btorch{: try  -- filename
[05:16] <lupine_85> it's an alternative distro to others, better at some things than others
[05:16] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> open terminal
[05:16] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> if u r root
[05:17] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> the sign will be # isntead of $
[05:17] <lupine_85> # vs. $
[05:17] <screechingcat> i think $ wins
[05:17] <daydream> PunjabiFLOYDIAN right, no X, is there a way to make the installer download all the packages and necessary data ? cd drive is hardly working well enough to boot from it
[05:17] <SrRaven> its a #
[05:17] <SrRaven> but I don't remember it asking me for a PW for the Root account,only asked me for user name
[05:17] <alscorpion> can anyone tell tell me why is mozilla firefox and all other web broswers are slow ???
[05:17] <screechingcat> its a feature
[05:18] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> alscorpion: u r wrong
[05:18] <B|Charm> alscorpion: firefox is ok, everything else comes from Microsoft
[05:18] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> daydream: cant u reinstall it
[05:18] <thoreauputic> B|Charm: matter of taste - lots of good distros, i just prefer Ubuntu ( I caome from a Debian background)
[05:18] <thoreauputic> *come
[05:18] <SrRaven> So is that a chance..that the PW never got asked for root ?
[05:18] <B|Charm> thoreaputic: Well i'm interested in finding one that is reliaple, and I hear ubuntu is they way to go
[05:18] <B|Charm> reliable*
[05:18] <B|Charm> like reliaple
[05:18] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> SrRaven:
[05:18] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> just type
[05:18] <B|Charm> only betta
[05:18] <daydream> PunjabiFLOYDIAN it isn't installed yet, just formated HD
[05:19] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> sudo fdisk -l
[05:19] <}btorch{> thoreauputic: getfacl does not have such option
[05:19] <thoreauputic> B|Charm: linux= reliable in general
[05:19] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> daydream: then why are u in text mode?
[05:19] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> i mean
[05:19] <daydream> PunjabiFLOYDIAN maybe a server install?
[05:19] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> daydream, expalint the problem again
[05:19] <SrRaven> than it asks for pw
[05:19] <alscorpion> PunjabiFLOYDIAN, can you tell me then why does it take so much time to load any page ??
[05:19] <SrRaven> entered one and it gave me stuff
[05:19] <Manyfold> how can i see where during the installation ubiquity hangs and what the error is?
[05:19] <B|Charm> thoreauputic: that could be a big generalization
[05:19] <thoreauputic> }btorch{: it isn't a command option - it's a way to get around files that start with -
[05:20] <daydream> PunjabiFLOYDIAN CD drive hardly works at all, just enough to boot and go through the installation of some packages, then dies halfway
[05:20] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> alscorpion: this not browser problem. this means u have a slow connection. do this. check the same conncetion on another browser. even IE if u want
[05:20] <B|Charm> i've seen some pretty shitty linux distros
[05:20] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> B|Charm: ubuntu rocks
[05:20] <thoreauputic> B|Charm: this isn't really on topic you know
[05:20] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> daydream: ur PC is archaic?
[05:20] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> *ancient?
[05:20] <B|Charm> thoreauputic: agreed, anywho

[05:25] <idefix__> it's called postrm
[05:25] <_Sasu> screechingcat: do you know if it is possible to have XP and ubuntu with RAID-0?
[05:25] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> see maybe ur router configuration is not correct?
[05:25] <screechingcat> _Sasu : i have no idea what a RAID-0 is. sorry
[05:25] <idefix__> actually postinst, sorry
[05:25] <alscorpion> PunjabiFLOYDIAN, I love Firefox ... its just when i type the address in the address bar .. i have to wait like 10 sec to get a respond
[05:26] <_Sasu> ok thx

[05:53] <silent_scream> where can i get xlibs (>> 4.1.0) ? i want to install a package which needs xlibs (>> 4.1.0) as a depedency...
[05:53] <SrRaven> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/d24777
[05:53] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> ok wait
[05:53] <Dr_willis> silent_scream,  let me guess - cedega?
[05:53] <silent_scream> nope
[05:53] <LiraNuna> siennalizard, apt-cache search xlibs
[05:53] <LiraNuna> err
[05:53] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> SrRaven: partitions have been mounted
[05:53] <LiraNuna> silent_scream,
[05:53] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> ok do this
[05:53] <chronoAZ> im dual booting iwith windows, but when grub loads it can't load an os cos somethign is wrong, how can i fix the links to the os's?
[05:54] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> click on ubuntu icon, choose places, open Computer
[05:54] <silent_scream> LiraNuna, as root?
[05:54] <SrRaven> ehm

[05:54] <SrRaven> wheres ubuntu icon?
[05:54] <SrRaven> lol
[05:54] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> the start icon in windows
[05:54] <SrRaven> only see gnome footprint
[05:54] <Dr_willis> xlibs was in the older ubuntu, but its now included in some other packages.. so a lot of .debs that need it are wrong. ,  You can edit the .deb and remove the depenecy, or install an older xlib just to make them shut up.
[05:54] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> yeah that footprint
[05:54] <idefix__> a "$1" is like the first argument of your script, right?
[05:54] <silent_scream> LiraNuna, and then ?
[05:55] <AquaFox> Alright.

[06:01] <AquaFox> Sessions or seasons?
[06:01] <chuckyp> SrRaven, thats a matter of opinion
[06:01] <SrRaven> I used foobar on Windows
[06:01] <AquaFox> Okay.
[06:01] <SrRaven> so im a quality lover :P
[06:01] <AquaFox> Then what?
[06:01] <LiraNuna> after you login, it will ask you if you want it to permenent
[06:01] <Ackeubu_> i tried to do something with sudo apt update cache bootsplash hoping it would fix me a nice splash for bootup. but what i did crached the hey i screwed up my initrd.img. any ideas of what to do to generate a new one?
[06:01] <LiraNuna> choose 'yes'
[06:01] <LiraNuna> and that's it
[06:01] <zaggynl> *To use it permanently
[06:01] <AquaFox> ...
[06:01] <Shoiabsafdar>  what if some one need kernal and different packages (.deb) of ubuntu on cd
[06:01] <daydream> can i upgrade ubuntu server to xubuntu ???
[06:02] <AquaFox> It doesn't ask that LiraNuna why are you assuming to much..
[06:02] <zaggynl> foxie already mentioned it 'just blinks'
[06:02] <chuckyp> SrRaven, well vlc is the easiest to setup you don't need to worry about codecs and stuff just install it from synaptic and your off
[06:02] <_Sasu> Has anyone managed to install ubuntu in a RAID-0 array?
[06:02] <LiraNuna> daydream, apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[06:02] <LiraNuna> AquaFox, sure it does...
[06:02] <daydream> and will ubuntu server install on 64RAM ?
[06:02] <AquaFox> It doesn't.
[06:02] <SrRaven> synaptic ?
[06:02] <AquaFox> May I repeat.
[06:02] <AquaFox> It doesn't.
[06:02] <SrRaven> How do I make every folder pop up in the same size,this is weird I don't even have  back button
[06:02] <AquaFox> How to go to a special file to change it.
[06:02] <AquaFox> Come on.
[06:02] <LiraNuna> AquaFox, does it log into GNOME/
[06:02] <AquaFox> There must be a /etc/ file.
[06:03] <AquaFox> It does then it BLINKS.
[06:03] <AquaFox> That's it.
[06:03] <AquaFox> I am in XFCE now.
[06:03] <zaggynl> I'll google for you then :/
[06:03] <LiraNuna> blinks to do what
[06:03] <AquaFox> And I want GNOME really bad.
[06:03] <AquaFox> How do I know?
[06:03] <osfameron> !sabdfl
[06:03] <ubotu> sabdfl is Mark Shuttleworth, self-appointed benevolent dictator for life, cosmonaut, founder of Canonical and primary driver of Ubuntu
[06:03] <LiraNuna> what is blinking
[06:03] <antiPosix> is "nice -n 19 command" the best way to make an operation impact the system as little as possible
[06:03] <AquaFox> LiraNuna, obviously you can't speak English or know much about Ubuntu.
[06:04] <zaggynl> Please be patient, but also polite :/
[06:04] <SrRaven> chuckyp can I pm ya=
[06:04] <LiraNuna> AquaFox, WHAT exactly is blinking
[06:04] <SrRaven> ?
[06:04] <wols> AquaFox: you obviously need a lot of growing up
[06:04] <LiraNuna> you said when you're booting to GNOME, 'it blinks'
[06:04] <chuckyp> arrai, System > administration > Synaptic
[06:04] <Shoiabsafdar>  what if some one need kernal and different packages (.deb) of ubuntu on cd!!!!! is it possible?????
[06:04] <Dr_willis> The blinker is blinking! :P
[06:04] <LiraNuna> what exactly is 'blinking'
[06:04] <SrRaven> yeah the problem is my Ubuntu is german
[06:04] <SrRaven> still have to find the language changing setting
[06:04] <AquaFox> It's blinking.. THE menu bar appears and doesn't.
[06:04] <chuckyp> SrRaven, system > administration > synaptic
[06:04] <Dr_willis> Shoiabsafdar,  apt-get has some features to download packages to a archive for moving to another machine.
[06:04] <vect0r``> I have Ubuntu server, so no GUI installed.. I have since installed a new network card, how do I get ubuntu to detect/install it?
[06:04] <LiraNuna> AquaFox, you mean crashes
[06:04] <wols> SrRaven: dpkg-reconfigure locales ?
[06:05] <AquaFox> I mean I want my theme back.
[06:05] <LiraNuna> AquaFox, did you try to reinstall GNOME?
[06:05] <AquaFox> What's so hard to understand.
[06:05] <eFoX> hey all
[06:05] <SrRaven> do that in terminal?
[06:05] <LiraNuna> apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[06:05] <AquaFox> There.
[06:05] <AquaFox> I googled it and found it.
[06:05] <chuckyp> SrRaven, System > administratino > language support
[06:05] <AquaFox> It is: gconftool-2 --unset /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme
[06:05] <Shoiabsafdar> thanks
[06:05] <LiraNuna> themes?
[06:05] <AquaFox> Thanks #ubuntu for not telling me proffesional help.
[06:06] <eFoX> I got a wifi question :s I got a new pcmia card, and it SEEMS that ubuntu detects it because i can scan and view networks around me. However i cant connect to my particular network
[06:06] <chuckyp> SrRaven, click on System then administration then language
[06:06] <eFoX> Any thoughts ?
[06:06] <SrRaven> dude chuckyp
[06:06] <SrRaven> its all in german here
[06:06] <SrRaven> and I don't have a language setting
[06:06] <chuckyp> SrRaven, well click on the one with the flags
[06:06] <Dr_willis> Professional = paid.
[06:06] <vect0r``> I have Ubuntu server, so no GUI installed.. I have since installed a new network card, how do I get ubuntu to detect/install it? Anyone know?
[06:06] <SrRaven> there is no flag :(
[06:06] <chuckyp> SrRaven, under administartion it should have a little flag icon by it.
[06:06] <LiraNuna> yep
[06:07] <wols> vect0r``: man interfaces (if you have already the driver loaded)
[06:07] <wols> SrRaven: look for "Sprache" then
[06:07] <SrRaven> is it in the same tab as synaptic ?
[06:07] <SrRaven> because I found that by now
[06:07] <wols> SrRaven: Administration coul dbe named "Verwaltung"
[06:07] <SrRaven> but that doesn't have vlc
[06:07] <vect0r``> well the driver isn't loaded I don't think, because ifconfig only brings up loop interface, not eth0
[06:07] <chuckyp> SrRaven, alright do this
[06:08] <silent_scream> breezy was using 2.4.x kernel ?
[06:08] <wols> vect0r``: does ifconfig -a bring it up?
[06:08] <chuckyp> SrRaven, hit alt+f2 and type in gnome-language-selector
[06:08] <wols> cause until it's configured, normal ifconfig won't see it
[06:08] <SrRaven> doesn't work
[06:08] <chuckyp> SrRaven, err you might have to checkbox run in terminal and type in sudo infront of that "sudo gnome-language-selector" no quotes of course
[06:08] <vect0r``> wols, the only other thing I see is sit0
[06:09] <wols> vect0r``: what network card is it?
[06:09] <chuckyp> SrRaven, or if you can open a terminal window and just type it in.
[06:09] <SrRaven> geez this linux lol
[06:09] <chuckyp> SrRaven, how did you get on german in the first place?
[06:09] <SrRaven> Because I am german
[06:09] <fulat2k> umm... hope u guys see this :) anyone knows why i'm getting "/dev/hdd8 not identified as an existing physical volume" when extending my volume group? i've done a fdisk as well as pvcreate /dev/hdd8
[06:09] <eFoX> anyne have any thoughts about my wifi Q ?
[06:10] <Guard] [an> please, what does the window manager use to influence the GTK theme used by an application: when i launch a gtk without a running window manager, i don't have windows decorations but also i'm back to default gtk stock icons, any idea please ???
[06:10] <chuckyp> SrRaven, but you want english right?
[06:10] <SrRaven> yes,as I understand english fine and its easier to find help
[06:10] <Dr_willis> Guard] [an,  theres a gnome-settings-service or deamon thats normally ran by gnome starting up to tell the programs what theme parts to use.
[06:10] <chronic1> is dapper drake the same as dapper.....or is there some other version of dapper?
[06:10] <SrRaven> I did the "sudo gnome-language-selector" in and nothing happened
[06:11] <ulfar> Is there any way to use dapper to patch a program when installing ?
[06:11] <keescook> chronic1: dapper drake is just the "full name" for dapper.  same version.
[06:11] <chronic1> keescook: thanks
[06:11] <ulfar> for example, i need to patch wine before installing it, do i have to manually install or is it possible to use dapper ?
[06:11] <Guard] [an> Dr_willis: i'm doing export display, x server is xming running under windows, what can i do to have a good looking theme, without launching gnome ?
[06:11] <wols> ulfar: apt-get build it from source
[06:12] <vect0r``> wols, netgear ga311
[06:12] <Dr_willis> Guard] [an,  never noticed that issue when i messed with xming, could be you need to run that  nome-settings-daemon program
[06:12] <wols> vect0r``: chip. not bradn/model
[06:12] <Guard] [an> Dr_willis: well the linux box is running xubuntu
[06:13] <Guard] [an> Dr_willis: when i launch xfwm4 then thunar, i have decorations but also nice icons on the toolbar
[06:13] <Gilnim> how do i delete a user`
[06:13] <Guard] [an> Dr_willis: when i just launch thunar, i don't have windows decorations (which i don't care for the moment) but also i have default "ugly" gtk icons on the toolbar :)
[06:13] <chronoAZ> deluser
[06:13] <Gilnim> thanks
[06:13] <Dr_willis> Guard] [an,  theres so many ways to use xming to run the X apps..  I tended to just make them in their own window.
[06:13] <jazzrocker> what's a good filesystem for mass media storage that i can use between windows and linux?
[06:14] <jazzrocker> and are there any transparent archive formats?
[06:14] <Gilnim> and how do i create a new one - i mean which parameters s i need?
[06:14] <SrRaven> can anyone tell me how to install VLC ?
[06:14] <Dr_willis> Guard] [an,  try running that gnome-settings-demon
[06:14] <chuckyp> jazzrocker, well fat32 is an option
[06:14] <jazzrocker> e.g. can i access my mp3s from inside a tar archive?
[06:14] <chuckyp> SrRaven, sudo aptitude install vlc
[06:14] <Guard] [an> Dr_willis: i guess i don't have it
[06:14] <jazzrocker> without untar-ing the whole thing?
[06:14] <Guard] [an> Dr_willis: as i said, it's xubuntu
[06:14] <Dr_willis> jazzrocker,  with that "FUSE" you can.
[06:14] <Guard] [an> Dr_willis: running xfce, not gnome
[06:14] <jazzrocker> chuckyp, uhhh, i guess... i suppose i'd rather not use Fat32 just on principle tho :P
[06:14] <Guard] [an> Dr_willis: but i guess the principle is pretty generic
[06:14] <jazzrocker> Dr_willis, can what?
[06:15] <chuckyp> jazzrocker, well ext3 can be supported in windows as well
[06:15] <Dr_willis> jazzrocker,  access archives transparently
[06:15] <Gilnim> !VLC
[06:15] <SrRaven> doesn't work :(
[06:15] <ubotu> Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Banshee, Beep Media Player, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine  -  See also !codecs
[06:15] <wols> chuckyp: only ext2
[06:15] <jazzrocker> chuckyp, yeah actually i've got the ext2 driver installed on windows and it works quite nicely
[06:15] <chuckyp> jazzrocker, if you google for windows ext3 you will find programs to do it.
[06:15] <Dr_willis> but the idea of a lot of mp3's in a tar is - sort of silly. :P
[06:15] <jazzrocker> wols, yeah but ext3 is an extension of ext2
[06:15] <SrRaven> oh no wait does now
[06:15] <jazzrocker> so windows can still access my ext3 volume as ext2
[06:15] <wols> jazzrocker: sure but those extension features are not supported
[06:15] <SrRaven> it did something...what now ?!
[06:15] <jazzrocker> wols, right
[06:16] <jazzrocker> anyone have experience with reiserfs?
[06:16] <jazzrocker> is that a decent system for mass file storage?
[06:16] <vect0r``> wols, Realtek - RTL81695
[06:16] <chuckyp> SrRaven, you really should read the wiki about installing software but it should have prompted you if you wanted to install it.  Now it should be in your gnome menus
[06:16] <power1> Hey all, I have just upgraded my system to a core 2 duo and I have gotten a new kernel which supports the onboard ide, but every time I boot I am getting a kernel panic, how can I tell what the drives are being asigned to when it boots as I canot do a page up or page down after the kernel panic to see what they are being detected as...?
[06:16] <jazzrocker> does anyone know a good google search term for this topic? and or have some links?
[06:16] <chuckyp> jazzrocker, I don't know about accessing reiserfs through windows though.
[06:16] <Intangir> how do i install an old version of a package, that has old version dependants too?
[06:16] <Dr_willis> jazzrocker,  from what i hear about it.. if you KNOW you need it.. then use it.. if you dont know for you sure you need it.. avoide it.
[06:16] <SrRaven> Nope,didn't do that
[06:16] <jazzrocker> Dr_willis, fair'nuff
[06:17] <reitzell> If I install something from source how do I update apt-get?
[06:17] <chuckyp> power1, well you can see whats going on at boot with dmesg
[06:17] <daydream> and will ubuntu server install on 64RAM ?
[06:17] <Intangir> im trying to install gcc 3.4.3 but when i install any of the packages part of it, it installs the newest versions (3.4.6) and breaks the dependancies, then forces me to upgrade them all
[06:17] <chuckyp> power1, the other option is lsmod etc...
[06:17] <wols> vect0r``: modproble r8169
[06:17] <Dr_willis> reitzell,  from source, ignores the apt-get stuff.
[06:17] <wols> later, if that works, put that into /etc/modules
[06:17] <power1> chuckyp, kernel panic = non rnning system...therefore no dmesg or lsmod....
[06:17] <SrRaven> Oh i guess I need a mp3 plugin...
[06:18] <chuckyp> Intangir, wellyou can install just he dependances for gcc with sudo aptitude build-dep gcc then install gcc from source or whatever you are doing.
[06:18] <chuckyp> power1, hrm...
[06:19] <SrRaven> am I right that I need to install a gstreamer thing ?!
[06:19] <chuckyp> SrRaven, not with vlc
[06:19] <SrRaven> Well I want to use Amarok for Mp3
[06:19] <SrRaven> VLC for videos
[06:19] <ulfar> where does apt-get store the files it downloads? i just used apt-get source -d wine
[06:19] <Dr_willis> - /var/cache/apt
[06:19] <chuckyp> SrRaven, oh yeah you need codecs for mp3 for whatever app you are using to play them.
[06:19] <SrRaven> and VLC didn't install so im confused as hell
[06:19] <chuckyp> !tell SrRaven about codecs
[06:20] <chuckyp> SrRaven, The wiki is a good start as well.
[06:20] <chuckyp> !tell SrRaven about wiki
[06:20] <reitzell> Dr Wills: something is requiring me to have a newer gcc. so I thought I would just download and compile 4.1.1 but how does apt-get now know that I have a newer gcc
[06:20] <SrRaven> I know im reading about it
[06:20] <SrRaven> its just that I use a older Ubuntu version
[06:20] <lupine_85> reitzell: it won't. apt deals with debs only
[06:20] <chuckyp> SrRaven, well there should be a wiki for the older versions
[06:20] <lupine_85> edgy uses 4.1.1 ...
[06:20] <SrRaven> 5.04
[06:21] <ulfar> lol how would i unpack a file that is .bz2 ?
[06:21] <chuckyp> SrRaven, 5.04 directions are in the wiki as well.
[06:21] <reitzell> thanks
[06:21] <lupine_85> bunzip2 <file>
[06:21] <chuckyp> ulfar, with tar
[06:21] <Kismet> Hi All! Anyone is having trouble with Dapper and ATI X700 Mobile?
[06:21] <chuckyp> ulfar, err. bunzip
[06:21] <ulfar> chuckyp: i tried tar and bunzip
[06:21] <lupine_85> or tar -xjvf <file> if it's tar.bz2
[06:21] <Kismet> I'm not able to get 3D working anymore :S
[06:21] <lupine_85> bunzip != bunzip2 !!
[06:22] <ulfar> aw..
[06:22] <ulfar> so i need bunzip
[06:22] <SrRaven> so I just do "sudo apt-get install streamer0.10-pitfdll gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse gxine libxine-main1 libxine-extracodecs" ?
[06:22] <ulfar> not bunzip2 ?
[06:22] <ulfar> ulfar@guru:~/Desktop$ bunzip2  wine-0.9.6.tar.bz2
[06:22] <ulfar> bunzip2: wine-0.9.6.tar.bz2 is not a bzip2 file.
[06:22] <lupine_85> it's corrupted then
[06:22] <chuckyp> SrRaven, if thats what you want yes.
[06:22] <lupine_85> why are you trying to use wine 0.9.6 ?
[06:22] <lupine_85> !info dapper wine
[06:22] <SrRaven> Its that what it says for quick install guide :P
[06:22] <ubotu> Package dapper does not exist in dapper
[06:23] <lupine_85> !info wine dappe
[06:23] <ubotu> wine: Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (Binary Emulator and Library). In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.9-0ubuntu2 (dapper), package size 8578 kB, installed size 40460 kB
[06:23] <chuckyp> SrRaven, ther other optoin is automatix or easyubuntu
[06:23] <Gilnim> is xfce faster than gnome?
[06:23] <lupine_85> "apt-get install wine=0.9.6-0ubuntu1" might do you, if you *need* wine 0.9.6
[06:23] <eFoX> i can scan wifi networks, and i can connect to an open one, but i cant connect to mine
[06:23] <SrRaven> are those kinda "tools" for idiots?
[06:23] <lupine_85> eFox: WEP? WPA?
[06:23] <chuckyp> Gilnim, uses less resources should be quicker on an older system.
[06:23] <eFoX> lupine_85:wep
[06:24] <lupine_85> ASCII or hex key?
[06:24] <vect0r``> wols, nothing came up with modprobe r8169
[06:24] <eFoX> hex
[06:24] <eFoX> 128bit
[06:24] <lupine_85> ok, then "sudo iwconfig <interface> key <key>"
[06:24] <wols> vect0r``: it shouldn't. no message = no error
[06:24] <Gilnim> k
[06:24] <lupine_85> don't know if that'll work with 128 bit, though
[06:24] <vect0r``> wols, ah
[06:24] <chuckyp> lupine_85, is it always this hectic in here?
[06:24] <lupine_85> yep
[06:24] <eFoX> lupine_85:done that, along with essid, and then did dhclient interface
[06:24] <wols> vect0r``: you can check with lsmod if it's loaded
[06:24] <chuckyp> jesus
[06:24] <wols> and as I said: add it to /etc/modules. also configure your /etc/network/interfaces
[06:25] <eFoX> i can SEE the network, just cant connect
[06:25] <lupine_85> well, it's WEP that's your problem since you can connect to other networks
[06:25] <eFoX> i can connect to other open nets ya...
[06:25] <eFoX> i AM using a new card
[06:25] <lupine_85> makes no difference
[06:25] <eFoX> didnt put drivers or anything
[06:25] <eFoX> ok
[06:26] <lupine_85> can you set up WEP via the graphical programs?
[06:26] <NET||abuse> can anyone help me with a vpn setup to an windows RAS server.
[06:26] <lupine_85> (you do realise that wep is worthless btw, right?)
[06:26] <NET||abuse> i've been trying to use pptpconfig but it isn't setting up the route probably
[06:26] <eFoX> no...tried using network manager, it goes through all the right steps..but in the end..doesnt work
[06:26] <SrRaven> Ehm,I can't find anything about easyubuntu buh
[06:26] <lupine_85> if you want security, use WPA + 802.1X
[06:26] <eFoX> lupine_85: ya i know, landlord put it in
[06:26] <lupine_85> ah
[06:27] <Locke> WEP and not broadcasting SSID is enough that you'll probably never have somebody unauthorized on your network
[06:27] <chuckyp> lupine_85, not worthless just takes a little longer to break
[06:27] <SrRaven> ahhhh found it on the website
[06:27] <NET||abuse> So anyone able to help out with my vpn? :)
[06:27] <Locke> and if you want more peace of mind, just enable mac filtering
[06:27] <eFoX> Locke: i dont think thats quite true...cuz kismet can detect "cloaked" ssids
[06:27] <vect0r``> wols, lsmod shows it as loaded, and I added it to /etc/modules.. /etc/network/interfaces is configured.. but nothing is coming under ifconfig -a still
[06:28] <lupine_85> mac filtering is even more worthless than wep ;)
[06:28] <silent_scream> breezy was using 2.4.x kernel ?
[06:28] <Locke> how is mac filtering worthless?
[06:28] <SrRaven> so I did this "wget http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/files/easyubuntu-3.023.tar.gz
[06:28] <SrRaven> tar -zxf easyubuntu-3.023.tar.gz
[06:28] <SrRaven> cd easyubuntu
[06:28] <SrRaven> sudo python easyubuntu.in" to get easyubuntu now what ?!
[06:28] <chuckyp> Locke, well you can still fake mac addresses
[06:28] <SrRaven> oh crap sorry for spam
[06:28] <Locke> if you have 2 computers online and they are taking up ythe only allowed macs
[06:28] <ncalpunker> Is there a way to create a "shortcut" to a folder on my desktop?
[06:28] <eFoX> lol.doesnt matter whats worthless. have an idea where my prob might lie so i can try and tackle it
[06:28] <Locke> i dont see how another comp could get on
[06:28] <lupine_85> eFoX: not really sure :(. I've nerver used 128-bit WEP
[06:28] <Locke> i've used 128 bit wep, and its just a much longer key
[06:29] <`4aFkA`> hi
[06:29] <chuckyp> SrRaven, then you keep following their directions because I have no idea i've never used it.
[06:29] <eFoX> locke: i can connect to open networks, but not wep..have any ideas ?
[06:29] <lupine_85> hmm... maybe it's not being typed in properly then ;)
[06:29] <Locke> hmm..
[06:29] <`4aFkA`> can some one give me a screen shot of linux desctop ?
[06:29] <chuckyp> Locke, you can spoof mac
[06:29] <eFoX> ive checked..a billion times
[06:29] <`4aFkA`> pls :)
[06:29] <Locke> have you tried putting in the wep key in hex and in ascii?
[06:29] <eFoX> i have not..because i can get into the router and it says..hex
[06:29] <Locke> chuckyp, which does you no good if all macs allowed are already on
[06:29] <eFoX> so i didnt see the need to
[06:29] <wols> vect0r``: /etc/init.d/networking restart
[06:30] <chuckyp> Locke, not with arp poisoning
[06:30] <`4aFkA`> can some one give me a screen shot of linux desctop ?
[06:30] <Locke> and if you dont know WHICH macs are allowed
[06:30] <SrRaven> im seeing this "dainton@Pancho:~/easyubuntu$ sudo python easyubuntu.in
[06:30] <SrRaven> "
[06:30] <SrRaven> thats it
[06:30] <chuckyp> Locke, there are ways in trust me.
[06:30] <lupine_85> Locke: it's relatively easy to bump a PC off the net
[06:30] <Locke> of course there are ways
[06:30] <Locke> i know that
[06:30] <lupine_85> it's even easier to find out what mac address it's using first
[06:30] <chuckyp> Locke, you can arp poison with one of the allowed mac's
[06:30] <sig_> why when I try to run and upgrade does it say this:>>>  The following packages have been kept back:
[06:30] <sig_>   linux-image-386 linux-restricted-modules-386
[06:30] <Arrick> if I want to build a wysiwyg website in ubuntu breezy what is a good program to use?
[06:30] <Locke> but is anyone practically going to sit outside my apartment in my car port and arp poison my roommates so they can get on?
[06:30] <Locke> no
[06:30] <lupine_85> and it's relatively trivial to set up as an AP outside so that the PC you knock off doesn't know it's happened
[06:31] <chuckyp> Locke, exactly
[06:31] <Locke> a busines with many computer accesssing a wireless network should never be running wep
[06:31] <chuckyp> Locke, the only safe way is wpa
[06:31] <Locke> let alone a wireless network period
[06:31] <lupine_85> wpa+802.1X
[06:31] <ulfar> no matter what package of wine i try to download from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wine/ i cant unzip it....wtf
[06:31] <KingOfNoWhere> nvu is a good wysiwyg web development program
[06:31] <sig_> anyone?
[06:31] <AshDragon> Can anyone help with Kppp?
[06:31] <`4aFkA`> can some one give me a screen shot of linux desctop ?
[06:31] <lupine_85> WPA is also crackable
[06:31] <`4aFkA`> can some one give me a screen shot of linux desctop ?
[06:31] <Intangir> im running wep
[06:31] <Intangir> whats so wrong with wep
[06:31] <Locke> ulfar, why dont you use synaptic to get WINE
[06:31] <Intangir> it can be secured well enough
[06:31] <Locke> Intangir, its crackable
[06:31] <lupine_85> you can break it in 4 minutes
[06:31] <Locke> nice FF6 nick btw
[06:31] <`4aFkA`> can some one give me a screen shot of linux desctop ?
[06:31] <chuckyp> `4aFkA`, WHY?
[06:31] <lupine_85> !aircrack
[06:31] <Intangir> you too ;)
[06:31] <ubotu> aircrack: wireless WEP/WPA cracker. In component universe, is extra. Version 2.3-3 (dapper), package size 136 kB, installed size 372 kB
[06:31] <Intangir> i named my cat locke
[06:31] <Locke> thanks :)
[06:31] <lupine_85> !airsnort
[06:31] <Locke> LOL sweet
[06:31] <ubotu> airsnort: WLAN sniffer. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.7e-1.1 (dapper), package size 49 kB, installed size 180 kB
[06:31] <wols> Intangir: it can't
[06:32] <`4aFkA`> I want to see the linux desctop
[06:32] <Intangir> and my sons name is Cole (lockes last name)
[06:32] <Intangir> hahaha
[06:32] <Blob> HI all - I'm wondering why the recommended updates from update-manager differ (sometimes wildly) from the CLI aptitude install command.  Anyone with any ideas?
[06:32] <vect0r``> wols, getting a no such device error on eth0
[06:32] <Locke> MWAHAHAH
[06:32] <lupine_85> www.kde-look.org www.gnome-look.org
[06:32] <ulfar> Locke: because i need to patch wine
[06:32] <lupine_85> ulfar: apt-get source wine ?
[06:32] <wols> vect0r``: check dmesg. what does it say?
[06:32] <chuckyp> `4aFkA`, there are plenty of screenshots on the net.
[06:32] <chuckyp> `4aFkA`, www.ubuntu.com
[06:32] <wols> vect0r``: I assume the card shows up in lspci?
[06:32] <ulfar> Locke: or so they say, i have to patch wine to run WoW
[06:32] <lupine_85> then dpkg-buildpackage after applying the patch
[06:32] <Locke> ulfar, you need Cedega to run WoW
[06:32] <Locke> which is not free
[06:32] <Intangir> i run wow on cedega
[06:33] <chuckyp> Locke, No wow can run on wine
[06:33] <Locke> you wont get anywhere just trying to patch it
[06:33] <Locke> chuckyp, really?
[06:33] <Locke> holy shit
[06:33] <Locke> im signing up
[06:33] <ulfar> Locke: they say it runs on wine aswell
[06:33] <Intangir> i think its simplier to just to use cedega than wine
[06:33] <Intangir> pay 5 bucks for cedega, no hassle on wow
[06:33] <vect0r``> wols, says alot, scrolls all down my screen can't read it all, is there something in particular i should grep?
[06:33] <chuckyp> Locke, http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=1922
[06:33] <ephemeros> yo dudes!
[06:33] <Locke> i have the WoW discs sitting right in front of me
[06:33] <Locke> for the last 4 months
[06:33] <wols> vect0r``: yes the end since it's the last thing you installed
[06:34] <AshDragon> Can anyone help with Kppp? It will connect and run fine for about 3 minutes... then hangup... anyone?
[06:34] <wols> vect0r``: there is also |less
[06:34] <Locke> had a k7 850 and then a duron 1ghz forever though
[06:34] <Locke> now i have a p4 2.8
[06:34] <Locke> shoudl work hehe
[06:34] <Intangir> so how is WEP so crackable? i got mine set up to not broadcast my ssid or whatever, and its using encryption
[06:34] <ulfar> lupine_85: alright, i used apt-get source wine, now where is it, so i can patch it lol
[06:34] <Intangir> and my router is set up to only give DHCP to certain macs
[06:34] <erikgz> how can one get suspend2 working under edgy?
[06:34] <wols> AshDragon: check your syslog
[06:34] <ulfar> Intangir: so what are you worried about? :)
[06:34] <erikgz> i know there are experimental dapper suspend2 packages
[06:34] <lupine_85> ulfar: in the directory you were in when you ran it
[06:34] <eFoX> you can still crack it
[06:34] <lupine_85> there should be plenty for you to play with
[06:34] <Intangir> just curious if that is crackable
[06:34] <Intangir> how?
[06:35] <chuckyp> Intangir, because you can spoof mac addresses
[06:35] <NET||abuse> okok,,, this thing is driving me nuts.. i need to vpn into work, but pptpconfig is setting up the routing table entry for the remote network wrong
[06:35] <Intangir> ya but if they dont even know what they are  they would have no idea what to spoof
[06:35] <lupine_85> Intangir: install aircrack and airsnort on a laptop and have a go
[06:35] <vect0r``> wols, the last thing is just IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling driver, nothing that I see is relevent
[06:35] <Intangir> and if they didnt even know what my ssid was theyd have no idea how to even connect
[06:35] <lupine_85> airsnort slurps MAC addresses for breakfast
[06:35] <Locke> ke, black silk tie with tan circles, or red tie with blue diamonds?
[06:35] <NET||abuse> it seems to be adding it as 192.168.1.18 * 255.255.255.255 ppp0
[06:35] <lupine_85> it also detects ssid's
[06:35] <wols> Intangir: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wired_Equivalent_Privacy#Flaws
[06:35] <Intangir> lame
[06:36] <eFoX> Intangir: check pm
[06:36] <NET||abuse> so this is wrong,, i need 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 ppp0 so why has it setup the link wrong??
[06:36] <Intangir> well id try WPA but my wife refuses to upgrade her shitty windows box to support it
[06:36] <lupine_85> well, I would if it wasn't so far away ;)
[06:36] <Intangir> linux can support WPA fine right? just not a friendly gui config for it?
[06:36] <Locke> i ran the install with WINE to /home/locke/hd20/quake2
[06:36] <Locke> and installed the ubuntu packages
[06:36] <wols> Intangir: WPA supplicant
[06:37] <Locke> changed /etc/quake2.conf to say /home/locke/hd20/quake2
[06:37] <Intangir> supplicant? whats that/
[06:37] <Locke> and thats as far as i got
[06:37] <`4aFkA`> !say asd
[06:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about say asd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:37] <Locke> man quake2 gives crap
[06:37] <wols> vect0r``: but it does load? the module I mean?
[06:37] <Lattyware> Hey all. I'm having a problem with my sound. Sometimes my sound works, sometimes it doesn't, rebooting will sometimes fix it, but it only works at half of boots.
[06:37] <SrRaven> can anyone here help me with easyubuntu :( ?
[06:37] <wols> vect0r``: sit0 is what driver btw? ifconfig -a
[06:37] <Locke> SrRaven, www.ubuntuforums.org search for EasyUbuntu
[06:37] <lupine_85> !wpagui
[06:37] <ubotu> wpagui: GUI for wpa_supplicant. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4.8-3ubuntu1.1 (dapper), package size 78 kB, installed size 204 kB
[06:37] <chuckyp> SrRaven, #easyubuntu
[06:37] <jazzrocker> so is fuse something i have to develop with myself?
[06:38] <jazzrocker> or are there pre-existing utilites that use fuse?
[06:38] <lupine_85> !kwlan
[06:38] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kwlan - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:38] <lupine_85> hmm, that must be new to edgy
[06:38] <SrRaven> Hmm
[06:38] <SrRaven> does that even run on my linux ?
[06:38] <vect0r``> wols, IPv6-in-IPv4, and yes, lsmod shows the module as loaded
[06:38] <Intangir> Locke: on wow i got alot of FF3 names, Kefka, Atma, Intangir, Doomgaze ;)
[06:38] <Intangir> no locke though
[06:38] <Intangir> its always taken
[06:39] <Intangir> Hidon
[06:39] <Intangir> thats about it
[06:39] <Intangir> Chadarnook actually on my druid (shape shifter)
[06:40] <Locke> damn that was the first time i ever tied a tie the right length first time
[06:40] <chuckyp> Locke, lol
[06:40] <iLLf8d> anyone know why the terminal server client that supports vnc that came with ubuntu errors out with a 255 unkown error message when tyring to connect to a vnc server?
[06:40] <Locke> Intangir, i have no WoW names yet
[06:40] <chuckyp> Locke, I use my hand to do it the right way.
[06:40] <Locke> i think my last char was called Glaciert
[06:40] <AshDragon> Can anyone help with Kppp? It will connect and run fine for about 3 minutes... then hangup... anyone?
[06:40] <Intangir> are you going to play again soon?
[06:40] <Locke> chuckyp, you mean pinching it?
[06:40] <Intangir> what server?
[06:40] <iLLf8d> although xtighvncviewer supposedly running the same protocol version which I added on seems to work fine?
[06:40] <Locke> Intangir, i think it was....
[06:41] <Locke> umm
[06:41] <Locke> i forgot
[06:41] <Intangir> well get on Burning Blade
[06:41] <Intangir> thats where im at
[06:41] <eFoX> whats teh command to determine what kernel im using
[06:41] <Locke> my boss at one point paid for an accoutn for me
[06:41] <Locke> alright
[06:41] <chuckyp> eFoX, uname -r
[06:41] <eFoX> thanks
[06:41] <Locke> i'll probably sign up sometime this week or weekend
[06:41] <Locke> GREAT!
[06:41] <SrRaven> damn floods

[06:44] <chuckyp> zaggynl, tracepath
[06:44] <Intangir> that was probably bill gates
[06:44] <Locke> LOL
[06:44] <zaggynl> thx chuck

[06:45] <Intangir> well that wasnt really an attack, more of just annoying
[06:45] <chuckyp> Intangir, probably one computer
[06:45] <ulfar> zOMG im compiling so uber fast with my supa dupa Duo CPU
[06:45] <zaggynl> anyone knows a nice frontend for tracepath?
[06:45] <ulfar> faster than lightning
[06:45] <Intangir> i heard those duos rule
[06:46] <ulfar> Intangir: ya but you should wait for duo quattro!
[06:46] <Intangir> lol duo quatro ;)
[06:46] <ulfar> its going to be the ultimate uberness
[06:46] <Intangir> isnt that contradictory?
[06:46] <iLLf8d> Intangir, don't you feel violated, you'll have to go to IRCAA
[06:46] <Intangir> or is there 8?
[06:46] <ulfar> Intangir: lol i ment quattro
[06:46] <Spec> zaggynl: what's tracepath?
[06:46] <ulfar> its going to be 4
[06:46] <zaggynl> Spec, tool to trace what path packets to an IP take
[06:46] <Spec> zaggynl: 'mtr' is what you want i think
[06:46] <zaggynl> ah okay
[06:46] <Intangir> seems like intel is finally getting competitive
[06:46] <chuckyp> zaggynl, what do you want to do?  trace geographically?
[06:47] <gopss> don't know
[06:47] <ulfar> i wonder if running wow i easier in cedega, rather than wine
[06:47] <lee_> anyone know if it's possible to add a highlight rule to gedit's highlighting modes?
[06:47] <zaggynl> chuckyp, yeah
[06:47] <Spec> it's not ... grpahical though
[06:47] <Intangir> instead of just big marketing they are finally making processors to back it up
[06:47] <Intangir> ulfar: running wow is easier in cedega
[06:47] <chuckyp> zaggynl, I know there are websites that will do it let me see if I can find an app hold up
[06:47] <iLLf8d> anyone get the dapper terminal server client using vnc protocol connections working correctly?
[06:47] <Intangir> iLLf8d: it worked by default for me
[06:47] <ulfar> Intangir: curses
[06:48] <Squirrely_Wrath> Can someone possibly help me with something?
[06:48] <iLLf8d> hrm wonder if it just doesn't like osxes vnc server
[06:48] <erUSUL> !someone
[06:48] <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?
[06:48] <SrRaven> I got a problem,I want to download VLC for Ubuntu but the website doesn't give me a link,tells me to use synaptic,but it isn't in there
[06:48] <Intangir> i got it running on wine too but i keep getting really strange graphical issues
[06:48] <Intangir> and lockups
[06:48] <ulfar> why isnt cedega free!?!? is Microsoft making it ?
[06:48] <kalaxmar> I'm using ubuntu 6.06 dapper and I'm unable to find any graphical SSH/FTP client to send some files to my WRT54G router. Does anybody know any graphical SSH/FTP client that I could use?
[06:48] <Intangir> i think you can acutlaly get cedega free off their cvs
[06:48] <lupine_85> !vnc
[06:48] <ubotu> vnc is a way of doing remote desktop.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !freenx.
[06:48] <iLLf8d> Squirrely_Wrath, ie no!
[06:48] <Squirrely_Wrath> Dur de dur!!!  okay, I feel stupid now
[06:48] <Squirrely_Wrath> anyway...
[06:48] <iLLf8d> =P
[06:48] <zaggynl> I think I found a graphical traceroute: xt
[06:49] <dustin> ulfar, we live in a free enterprise society     if someone will pay for it someone has the right to sell it
[06:49] <Intangir> kalaxmar: i use nautilus for ftp/ssh file sending
[06:49] <Intangir> just goto file-> connect to server
[06:50] <Squirrely_Wrath> I'm trying to install 6.06 LTS on a dell laptop, got plenty of hard drive space. During the installation it mounts the swap file with no problem, but when it comes time to start mounting the root it can't mount it and I have to quit the installation.
[06:50] <Intangir> its really slick too, you can open up files for editing in gedit and it auotmatically takes care of uploads/downloads
[06:50] <Intangir> but sometimes it crashes, crashes X even, im not sure why..
[06:50] <chuckyp> zaggynl, http://www.geobytes.com/
[06:50] <zaggynl> thanks chuckyp
[06:50] <moonlite> Intangir: real slick :P
[06:51] <fredzer> hi
[06:51] <ISOLATEDViRuS> hi
[06:51] <kalaxmar> Intangir: it seems i've installed it but i'm unable to find it on the menus. Where is it supposed to be found?
[06:51] <Latty> Hey all, I lost my connection, so I'll ask again :P. My sound sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, I have to reboot to get it to work. It either works or doesn't work from boot, anyone know why?
[06:51] <fredzer> could you help me with summin
[06:51] <fredzer> ?
[06:51] <Squirrely_Wrath> I need to make a shirt that just says "Mount" just to mess with people.
[06:51] <amarokker> Hi, how can I reset the mysql passwd?
[06:51] <Intangir> moonlite: it is when it works ;)
[06:51] <amarokker> can't login as -u root -p.
[06:52] <Intangir> kalaxmar: nautilus is the regular file browser
[06:52] <moonlite> Intangir: ;)
[06:52] <chuckyp> zaggynl, actually I was looking for http://www.geobytes.com/IpLocator.htm
[06:52] <SrRaven> Can someone help me ? Im going insane,I got noooo songs that are not in MP3
[06:52] <Intangir> amarokker: have you set it at all?
[06:52] <Squirrely_Wrath> so does someone have any kind of idea on how to solve my problem?
[06:52] <chuckyp> SrRaven, All you have to do is read the wiki about codecs
[06:52] <SrRaven> I did
[06:52] <zaggynl> ah
[06:52] <SrRaven> and I did what it said
[06:52] <zaggynl> cool, this 212.110.87.163 guy was from Macedonia
[06:53] <SrRaven> it didn't worrrrrk
[06:53] <amarokker> Intangir: beats me. can't remember doing it- just emerged and left it- most prolly not.
[06:53] <Intangir> so just leave off the -p
[06:53] <amarokker> oops. i mean 'apt-get'...heh. old times.
[06:53] <chuckyp> SrRaven, well if you are using easyubuntu there is #easyubuntu channel
[06:53] <Intangir> and it should let you log in
[06:53] <kalaxmar> Intangir: ok, that's why I couldn't find it on the menu. However, how can I tell Nautilus to go to 192.168.1.1 Ip address? There's no navigation bar
[06:53] <SrRaven> And as my ubuntu is too old
[06:53] <Intangir> kalaxmar: goto file->connecjt to server
[06:53] <SrRaven> it isn't supported
[06:54] <SrRaven> so im pretty much f***ed
[06:54] <Intangir> kalaxmar: tell it the type (you can use ssh or ftp easily locally)
[06:54] <amarokker> Intangir: seems not. I really can't remember like i said- it doesnt work without pass.
[06:54] <dustin> hey does anyone know how to stop xgl?
[06:54] <chuckyp> SrRaven, I don't know why the directions in the wiki for your version of ubuntu aren't working.  You just said it didn't work.  I'm not there I can't see th screen to see what sort of errors you are getting etc...
[06:54] <johnt> Hello all   I just installed a program under wine can anyone help me with it please????

[06:55] <chuckyp> SrRaven, again what quick install thing and what cound't be found?
[06:55] <Intangir> that lets you change your root pass from commandline as root

[06:55] <Arcad3> what seems to be the problem
[06:55] <johnt> I want to invoke it
[06:55] <vect0r``> Squirrely_Wrath.. probably no with an attitude like that.
[06:55] <amarokker> Intangir: flush privilages?
[06:55] <chuckyp> Squirrely_Wrath, with what making a t-shirt?
[06:55] <SrRaven> English father,but he's quite a idiot and they are divorced and never grew up English
[06:55] <Squirrely_Wrath> I'm trying to install 6.06 LTS on a dell laptop, got plenty of hard drive space. During the installation it mounts the swap file with no problem, but when it comes time to start mounting the root it can't mount it and I have to quit the installation.
[06:55] <medic30420> Squirrely, what is your question
[06:56] <Squirrely_Wrath> No, with installing my ubuntu
[06:56] <amarokker> lemme try it then.
[06:56] <Arcad3> the game works?
[06:56] <wols> vect0r``: yes. but dunno what I could tell you
[06:56] <Intangir> amarokker: well i guess its not mysqladmin im not sure how you do it
[06:56] <chuckyp> Squirrely_Wrath, how are you partitioning the drive?
[06:56] <Latty> Could anyone help with my problem?, My sound sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, I have to reboot to get it to work. It either works or doesn't work from boot, anyone know why?
[06:56] <Intangir> amarokker: your screwed ;)
[06:56] <JamieBE> Hello, I have a Game called Sauerbraten on Dapper Drake 6.06 LTS and I want to install the downloaded tar.gz file. There is not INSTALL file within the extracted tar.gz and the installation help on the README isn't really much use to a noob. Can anyone help?

[06:57] <SrRaven> in there now
[06:57] <Arcad3> first cd into extracted files
[06:57] <medic30420> squirrely, use the alternate install cd (you will have to download it agian) and manually partition during install
[06:57] <Squirrely_Wrath> Using the partition program in ubuntu installer.  Was an NTFS file but had probs using that. It easily creates the swap portion, but the ext3, I think that's what it is" isn't recognized
[06:57] <chuckyp> Squirrely_Wrath, So you aren't whiping the disk you are creating them manually?
[06:58] <amarokker> Intangir: i'd rather not risk going in there without having read all the documentations- else would get 'rtmf' singed on my ass. anywhos, thanks for the headsup, will look through some more.
[06:58] <Squirrely_Wrath> I am doing a manual partition.  That's tha thing.  When I try to make the ext3 partition, it ends up unrecognizable with an exclamation point next to it
[06:58] <Newbi8> Hello!Is there any program I can use in Ubuntu to make a powerpoint-presentation?Fully compatible with Microsoft PowerPoint?
[06:58] <SrRaven> I must upgrade 5.04 to 5.10 and than to 6.06 ?
[06:58] <johnt> No  I downloaded a win.exe from rtsoft.com Then wine did the install to home john c program
[06:58] <ber> newbie, you can just use openoffice
[06:58] <wols> Newbi8: does not exist.  only powerpoint is compatible with powerpoint
[06:58] <Newbi8> Ber: ope
[06:58] <ber> newbe, there might be some compatibility issues though, you'll have to check it out
[06:59] <chuckyp> Squirrely_Wrath, hrm.. should just work what you could try to do is resize the ntfs partiton and leave free space then let the ubuntu installer just install to free space.
[06:59] <salestodo555> whre can find options for remote desktop?
[06:59] <Newbi8> Ber:Openoffice?Where do I get it??
[06:59] <ulfar> compile for life...wine is too big
[06:59] <ber> newbie, you can get it by using synaptic. but normally it is installed
[06:59] <JamieBE> Arcad3 - These would normally work, but none of those commands work with this tar.gz for some reason
[06:59] <ulfar> Newbi8: openoffice is already installed with ubuntu
[06:59] <SrRaven> What the hell,updating Ubuntu looks like a paaaaaain
[06:59] <wols> ulfar: usually winehq has premade debs too of their latest
[07:00] <Squirrely_Wrath> I considered that, but I do a lot of DVD/CD ripping and need to use the laptop drive until I can transfer it to an external drive.
[07:00] <ber> newbie, use the menu's: office> OpenOffice.org presentation
[07:00] <ulfar> wols: yea but i have to patch the source :p

[07:05] <chuckyp> SrRaven, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[07:05] <someusernoob> flo: fill the garbage bin and empty it :D
[07:05] <wols> ulfar: then you installed a .deb via dpkg -i? that's fine. now dpkg can remove it too (or apt)
[07:05] <jboogie> can i ask an ubuntu specific question in here
[07:06] <molkko> my dapper boots OK until it should switch to graphical mode. at that point the machine jams roughly four times out of five boots. sometimes it boots OK. this is random. how to debug this problem?
[07:06] <flo> someusernoob: unfortunately this doesn't help
[07:06] <wols> jboogie: this IS #ubuntu. where else would you ask?
[07:06] <vect0r``> wols, so if a module loads without an error, does that mean it just found the module? or it found a piece of hardware that coinscides with the module?
[07:06] <chuckyp> molkko, what type of video crad?
[07:06] <SrRaven> Ok
[07:06] <jboogie> lol
[07:06] <SrRaven> any things I should consider when upgrading?
[07:06] <Jack_Sparrow> jboogie: How did you install xgl?
[07:06] <wols> vect0r``: normally yes. and from what I see at google r8169 is the oroper one for the card
[07:06] <SrRaven> Like not doing something or so
[07:06] <chuckyp> SrRaven, backup your data first
[07:06] <ArrenLex> Latty: what the hell? That's very odd.
[07:06] <SrRaven> Which data?
[07:06] <Lattyware> Is it? :/
[07:06] <Ash-Fox> Where would be the best place to define system wide aliases for bash in Ubuntu?
[07:07] <jboogie> i have a machine i want to duel boot the mighty fine ubuntu off of. only problem is that its on a serial ata raid array that ubuntu doesnt recognize with the live cd...help
[07:07] <johnt> Any one help with this wine prob, I innsalled a game called Dink Smallwood now I need a command to make it start please
[07:07] <vect0r``> wols, yeah that's what i read from google aswell, and that it should work fine.. hmmn
[07:07] <wols> SrRaven: /home, /etc, /var
[07:07] <Arcad3> latty:ia-te de cur si sari
[07:07] <ArrenLex> Latty: yes. Alsa doesn't recognise ANY devices.
[07:07] <someusernoob> flo: u shure that the other theme has a garbage bin icon? otherwise copy it to /usr/share/icons
[07:07] <chuckyp> SrRaven, anything that you can't afford to lose like documents etc..
[07:07] <SrRaven> Got nuttin there I think lol
[07:07] <SrRaven> and it didn'T work
[07:07] <Lattyware> ...
[07:07] <chuckyp> SrRaven, well the other option is to just download the dapper cd and install it.
[07:07] <molkko> chuckyp, i guess my video is supersavage ix/c sr
[07:07] <SrRaven> it says couldn't access stuff
[07:07] <chuckyp> SrRaven, that will fix all your language issues etc..
[07:07] <ArrenLex> LattLatty, what happens when you go /etc/init.d/alsa-utils force-reload
[07:07] <SrRaven> yeh
[07:07] <someusernoob> flo: or maybe they the garbage bin icon has the wrong name, or do you have it with all icon themes
[07:08] <Jack_Sparrow> jboogie: THis may help with that... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto
[07:08] <chuckyp> molkko, hrm... I would try maybe specifying vesa in xorg.conf and see if the issue continues may be a driver problem.
[07:08] <flo> someusernoob: yes, i am sure it has... and its name is gnome-fs-trash-full.png, just like the original one
[07:08] <vect0r``> wols, any other ideas on what could be the problem?
[07:08] <Lattyware> Can I post 3 lines?
[07:08] <jboogie> ty jack
[07:08] <ArrenLex> latty: yeah
[07:08] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[07:08] <jboogie> i forgot how to whisper

[07:09] <chuckyp> jboogie, talk quietly
[07:09] <Lattyware> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24781
[07:09] <jboogie> been about 2 years since ive been on irc
[07:09] <someusernoob> flo: weird it doesnt work, the only thing thing that comes to mind is filling the garbage bin, have to do that always when changing icon themes
[07:09] <flo> someusernoob: and yes, i have this problem with all themes...
[07:09] <vect0r``> wols, btw, I really recognize your name.. you're not the same wols from the litestep community are you?
[07:09] <someusernoob> flo: u only have the garbage bin on your panel?
[07:09] <flo> someusernoob: no, all other icons work fine
[07:10] <someusernoob> flo: i meant, do you have it also on the desktop?
[07:10] <johnt> Any one help with this wine prob, I innsalled a game called Dink Smallwood now I need a command to make it start please
[07:10] <someusernoob> flo: the icon
[07:10] <flo> someusernoob: no
[07:10] <Lattyware> ...
[07:10] <zaggynl> johnt, for wine stuff goto the channel #winehq
[07:10] <ArrenLex> Latty: did you prefix that command with sudo?
[07:10] <SrRaven> yo,ehm where is my gaim stuff stored ?
[07:10] <zaggynl> (wine app.exe does the job though)
[07:10] <flo> someusernoob: i don't know how to get a link to the garbage bin to the desktop
[07:10] <Lattyware> ah, no. Sorry, didn't know it needed root
[07:10] <ArrenLex> Raven: ~/.gaim
 many thx sorry i did not know
[07:11] <Lattyware> Now I just get shuting down, starting up, no errors.
[07:11] <zaggynl> johnt, that's okay :)
[07:11] <someusernoob> flo: gconf-editor /apps/nautilus/desktop
[07:11] <Arcad3> who can give me his host user and password?
[07:11] <chuckyp> johnt, you would need to do a command along the lines of "wine nameofprogram.exe"
[07:11] <ArrenLex> Latty: does sound work now?
[07:11] <Lattyware> no.
[07:11] <Arcad3> please i'll make his computer work like a Swiss watch
[07:11] <zaggynl> Aquafox was helped?
[07:11] <wols> vect0r``: I am
[07:11] <ArrenLex> Latty: is amixer any different?
[07:12] <vect0r``> figured as much
[07:12] <flo> someusernoob: ah, i see, the icon works as expected on the desktop
[07:12] <Lattyware> No, exactly the same.
[07:12] <wols> vect0r``: and I recognized your nick too
 thx I will try that now
[07:12] <Arcad3> c'mon PM me with the HOST USER AND PASS
[07:12] <someusernoob> flo: try to re-add the garbage bin applet to your panel
[07:12] <flo> someusernoob: already tried that about 5 times
[07:12] <chuckyp> johnt, no problem just keep in mind wine installs apps to ~/.wine/c_drive/whateverblahblah
[07:12] <ArrenLex> Latty: could you download the DEBIAN (etch) version of the alsa-utils package and install it over the ubuntu one, and then run alsaconf, please?
[07:12] <ulfar> wols: btw they are using alot older version of wine, is that alright ?
[07:13] <ulfar> 0.9.21, latest is 0.9.9
[07:13] <flo> someusernoob: I also killed gnome-panel after doing that
[07:13] <chuckyp> johnt, so it would be like wine .wine/c_drive/poopygame.exe
[07:13] <Lattyware> ArrenLex:  Could you tell me how I would go about that, please.
[07:13] <wols> ulfar: that's what I don't get. I'd say in newer versions of wine, those patches should be already in. have you tested them?
[07:13] <NET||abuse> hmm, weird
[07:13] <ArrenLex> Latty: http://packages.debian.org/testing/sound/alsa-utils
[07:13] <vect0r``> wols, I love linux for the stabability.. hate it for crap like this.. lol
[07:13] <NET||abuse> got pptpconfig working, didn't realise the client to LAN setting didn't actually add a to lan route entry
[07:13] <NET||abuse> why?????? stupid
[07:13] <someusernoob> flo: hmm, thats weird, only thing i can suggest then is restart X, or copy the icon theme to /usr/share/icons
[07:13] <ArrenLex> latty: download that file, and then run sudo dpkg -i <file.deb> on it.
[07:14] <ArrenLex> Then run sudo alsaconf.
[07:14] <Lattyware> ok, thanks
[07:14] <ulfar> wols: i only tested the latest wine using apt-get install
[07:14] <ulfar> wols: however wow crashed :(
[07:14] <zaggynl> I run WC3 in wine :)
[07:14] <someusernoob> flo: since the icon works fine on the desktop there is something wrong with the panel applet, i dont know what :)
[07:14] <ulfar> wols: i can see the intro! but when it comes to the login screen i crash
[07:14] <Arcad3> use cedega
[07:15] <Somniis> has anyone tried to run Fallout in wine?
[07:15] <flo_> someusernoob: ok, I'll try both of your suggestions
[07:15] <chuckyp> Arcad3, cedega isnt' free for one. and wine works perfectly fine
[07:15] <ulfar> Arcad3: im not paying for some program so some greedy gay developer can make money off the open source community
 I will go run through a few alternatives. I just did not see any .exe files in the folders
[07:15] <ArrenLex> !language
[07:15] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[07:15] <chuckyp> Somniis, you should probably check out wine's appdb
[07:15] <grayscale> I installed kdewebdev for Quanta Plus using apt-get.  After apt-get installed everything it needed, I'm getting this error when running the program, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24783 , can someone help?
[07:15] <Arcad3> i have the free version
[07:15] <Arcad3> :D
[07:15] <someusernoob> flo: i remember something
[07:15] <Somniis> heh.. didn't know there was one. :-)  thanks chuckyp
[07:15] <ulfar> Arcad3: you have a free version of cedega ?
[07:15] <chuckyp> johnt, well inside of that c_drive directory it should look like a windows filesystem i.e. /windows/program files/ etc...
[07:15] <someusernoob> flo: i had a problem once with the tango volume icon, it wouldnt get smaller, unless i created a new panel, and delete the old one :S
[07:15] <Arcad3> yes of course
[07:15] <Lattyware> ArrenLex:  I get a load of dependancy errors.
[07:16] <Arcad3> but u will be sued if cached with it:))
[07:16] <ulfar> Arcad3: nice, ill check out the website tomorrow for cedega
[07:16] <chuckyp> Somniis, http://appdb.winehq.org/
[07:16] <ulfar> Arcad3: OH lol cracked version ?
[07:16] <ArrenLex> Grayscale: you don't have write permissions to your own home folder
[07:16] <Arcad3> yap
[07:16] <Arcad3> still want it?
[07:16] <flo_> someusernoob: wierd, got a 2nd panel now and two different icons ;)
[07:16] <Arcad3> i'll keep it
[07:16] <ArrenLex> Grayscale: run sudo chmod -R 777 /home/grayscale
[07:17] <flo_> someusernoob: but not the one I want to have
[07:17] <ArrenLex> Lattyware: okay, don't install it then. Hold on.
 That is true I do but the final folder does not have a .exe in it   Just some .ini files
[07:17] <someusernoob> flo: hmm, that is really weird
[07:17] <madrico> quilooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
[07:17] <chuckyp> johnt, well the whatever program you installed has to have an executable somewhere.  Just as if you installed it in windows.
[07:17] <someusernoob> flo: you just made that second panel?
[07:17] <zaggynl> johnt, have you unextracted the file?
[07:18] <flo_> someusernoob: yes
[07:18] <chuckyp> johnt, what was the name of the game again?
[07:18] <grayscale> ok that worked, but do i want to leave the permissions on my home folder open like that?
[07:18] <someusernoob> flo: otherwise, remove the 2nd panel, and add it again, set it up like your first panel, except for the garbage bin, delete the first panel, kill the panel, and add the garbage bin
[07:18] <chuckyp> grayscale, they aren't open they are set to your user.
[07:18] <ArrenLex> grayscale: probably not. Feel free to adjust your permissions to a comfortable level. Just make sure to give yourself write.
[07:18] <grayscale> ok, thanks a lot
[07:19] <flo_> someusernoob: one minute...
[07:19] <ArrenLex> Latty: do you know how to extract files from deb archives?
 It is an ancient game written by Seth robinson called Dink Smallwood I am just trying to get wine to work for me
[07:19] <grayscale> i changed the permissions to .kde prior to asking thinking that would fix it
[07:19] <grayscale> ArrenLex, thank you
[07:19] <chuckyp> johnt, let me see what I can find
[07:19] <someusernoob> flo_: sorry didnt notice you changed your name
[07:20] <flo_> someusernoob: no matter, was disconnected
 I down loaded The file from rtsoft.com
[07:20] <flo_> someusernoob: I guess I don't have any luck with getting this thing working...
[07:21] <habeeb> Hello, I installed Python2.5 with APT, but I still use the 2.4 one :/
[07:21] <chuckyp> johnt, did it say were it was installing it?
[07:21] <someusernoob> flo_: what icon theme you want to use and where did you get it from?
 Dinksmallwood108.exe
[07:21] <snedar> hey! I'm looking for a command like pwd that prints the current location of the script it's running in. so if you're in /home/user and start /home/user/scripts/script.sh, it should print '/home/user/scripts' as location. does such a command exist?
[07:21] <chuckyp> johnt, oh well try win Dinksmallwood108.exe
[07:21] <flo_> it's called OSX, I got it from gnome-look.org
[07:21] <chuckyp> johnt, wine not win
[07:21] <flo_> someusernoob: it's called OSX, I got it from gnome-look.org
[07:21] <chuckyp> johnt, wine Dinksmallwood108.exe
[07:22] <chuckyp> johnt, I thought you were talking about a program with an installer or something
 \h\john\wine\c\program\dink
[07:22] <someusernoob> flo_:version 3.1?
[07:22] <Jack_Sparrow> flo_: Did you get it from the gnome or gtk1 or gtk2 area of gnome-look.org
[07:22] <flo_> someusernoob: yes
[07:22] <Xappe> hmm, when I try to add my pronter in cups with System --> Administration --> Printers it does not detect my printer properly. It detects it as Hp fax, not HP LaserJet-6L. It's detected fine in dapper...
[07:22] <chuckyp> johnt, well when you downloaded the app did you install it?
[07:22] <ArrenLex> Latty: do you know how to extract files from deb archives?
 yes
[07:22] <Xappe> oops, wrong channel
[07:22] <flo_> someusernoob: i can't remember
[07:23] <chuckyp> johnt, with wine?  did it specify where it was putting the executable
[07:23] <someusernoob> flo_: weird, it running fine here
[07:23] <flo_> someusernoob: you tested it?
[07:23] <someusernoob> flo_: yes, im looking at it right now
 yes with wine then i got a option were to install and chose the one I told you
[07:24] <someusernoob> flo_: garbage bin in the panel works fine
[07:24] <habeeb> Weird.
[07:24] <habeeb> Hello, I installed Python2.5 with APT, but I still use the 2.4 one :/
[07:24] <SrRaven> is there such thing as a download manager ?
[07:24] <chuckyp> johnt, okay well cd /home/.wine/c/program/dink
[07:24] <SrRaven> firefox keeps dying on me and I wanna download newest ubuntu
[07:24] <chuckyp> johnt, and do an ls see if there is a dink.exe or something simliar
[07:24] <flo_> someusernoob: Aero Icon theme isn't working as well here... http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=35437
[07:24] <someusernoob> flo_: what theme are u using?
[07:24] <ArrenLex> sr: wget
[07:24] <La_PaRCa> SrRaven: use wget
[07:24] <someusernoob> flo_: do the icons work with the standard human theme?
[07:25] <SrRaven> so at least thats like on Windows
[07:25] <SrRaven> firefox dies when it shouldn't
[07:25] <snedar> (about my question: I've found $pwd and $0 now, maybe I can do something with that)
 OK
[07:25] <neutrinomass> SrRaven: It dies on all sites?
[07:25] <ArrenLex> snedar: what is the output of $0, again? I forget what it does.
[07:25] <SrRaven> on some
[07:26] <lupine_85> gives /path/to/executed/program
[07:26] <neutrinomass> SrRaven: Do you have flash installed? Flash and extensions/plugins are known to wreck firefox stability
[07:26] <flo_> someusernoob: all stanard themes work as expected at least after I killed gnome-panel
[07:26] <SrRaven> Yes I do
[07:26] <snedar> ArrenLex: what lupine_85 says :-)
[07:26] <SrRaven> and yes I need it :P
[07:26] <Somniis> does anyone know the command to install a program via cd from wine? :-\
[07:26] <sycho> Is there any way that when in list view your can still right click and paste something? I never can as it always selects a file in the directory. Further is there a way so that you don't have to keep a window open for you to be able to copy something from it?
[07:26] <ArrenLex> snedar: then why can't you just take out the last field in $0?
[07:27] <SrRaven> How do I tell wget to download to a specific folder?
[07:27] <neutrinomass> SrRaven: Then that's the problem ;) It's really not something Ubuntu can fix. Flash source code is not released by Macromedia. You're encouraged to direct your complaints to them :)
[07:27] <someusernoob> flo_: i think i see the problem, both icon themes only have scalable icons, i think the gnome panel applet cant handle it
[07:27] <chuckyp> SrRaven, it will download to whatever folder you are in by default
[07:27] <SrRaven> I don't have much space left on the partition with ubuntu
[07:27] <ArrenLex> SrRaven: wget downloads to whatever folder you are in when you execute it unless you specify -O
[07:27] <snedar> ArrenLex: yep, I think that's the best solution... though maybe it isn't good at all to look at the script's location, I could better store the user files in a /home/user/.directory
[07:27] <flo_> someusernoob: but you said it worked for you?
[07:27] <someusernoob> flo_: hm, that makes no sence, since it is working fine here
[07:27] <someusernoob> flo_: yeah, i know
[07:28] <flo_> someusernoob: you installed them to your home folder?
[07:28] <ArrenLex> snedar: you asked how and you were answered.
[07:28] <someusernoob> flo_: yes
[07:28] <SrRaven> I wanna download to my win partition
[07:28] <SrRaven> as thats the only big one
[07:28] <chuckyp> SrRaven, just cd /to/whatever/folder/you/want  then wget http://website/filename  it will download tot hat folder
 I must have screwed up some where as I get no such file or dir when I ls Dink dink
[07:28] <chuckyp> SrRaven, is it an ntfs partiton?
[07:28] <SrRaven> yup
[07:28] <snedar> ArrenLex: yes, that's true, and thanks for that! :-)
[07:28] <ArrenLex> Sr: you can't write to an NTFS partition.
[07:28] <someusernoob> flo_: i just extracted both icon themes to my /.icons folder, and selected them with gnome's theme manager
[07:28] <chuckyp> johnt, okay you downloaded the exe then what did you do?
[07:29] <flo_> someusernoob: that's what I did
[07:29] <flo_> someusernoob: Tangerine, tango, Human, ... wrk fine
[07:29] <mpech> re
[07:30] <SrRaven> Well than I got a big big problem
[07:30] <seb> Hello
[07:30] <someusernoob> flo_: i really dont know anymore :S
 Right click   open with wine <click> Agreements yes install options  chooose destination folder
[07:30] <seb> I installed vsftpd, and it give read-only access to anonymous users. Vergy good. But where in teh File System do I add files so that anonymou users can download them?
[07:30] <SrRaven> I only got like a gig of space left
[07:31] <Jangsta> hey hey, whats the command to enter the X config?
[07:31] <flo_> someusernoob: I'll try to put the theme to /usr/share/icons
[07:31] <chuckyp> johnt, well you just need to navigate to the folder you installed to and find the name of the exe.
[07:31] <PhillPhorrari> start x
[07:31] <PhillPhorrari> no startx
[07:31] <chuckyp> johnt, or .bat file whatever but it has to have an executable file.
[07:31] <Jangsta> :\ it was somethign else i remember
[07:31] <Jangsta> this is to config it
[07:31] <Jangsta> xbts-reconfigure serv-sasda
[07:32] <Jangsta> something like that
[07:32] <chuckyp> johnt, did you read the wiki section on wine it explains a lot better than I can.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine
[07:32] <PhillPhorrari> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:32] <Jangsta> thats it
[07:32] <Jangsta> thankyou!
[07:32] <someusernoob> flo_: you can try it, otherwise the last thing that i can think of is, make a new panel, leave it empty, delete your current panel, restart your computer, and add everything to it
[07:32] <PhillPhorrari> your welcome
 Must be a problem some where there are only four files and none of them are .exe or .bat /
[07:32] <seraphim> SrRaven: maybe this can help you: http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/
 I will have a rad and see what can happen next
 read
[07:33] <FRET> hey all
[07:33] <Jangsta> wait it says
[07:33] <Jangsta> dpkg-reconfigure must be run as root?
[07:33] <chuckyp> johnt, you could try something like find /home/<username>/.wine/ -name *.exe see what that returns
[07:34] <SrRaven> alrighty,I checked the my computer thing and it actually says that theres a 4,2 gb hard drive
[07:34] <SrRaven> but doesn't say anything bout it,I guess I can install to it ?
[07:34] <flo_> someusernoob: i'll try the hint with restarting X now...

[07:35] <SrRaven> as in download to that partition
[07:35] <Jangsta> PhillPhorrari - it says this must be run as a root?
[07:35] <chuckyp> johnt, what about the .wine folder in yoru home.   That should be the hidden folder.
[07:36] <chuckyp> johnt, cd ~/.wine   notice the period in front there that is important.
[07:36] <someusernoob> flo_: wb

[07:37] <ArrenLex> Wow, I recognise lots of people.
[07:37] <ladydoor> Locke2: wouldn't know.
[07:37] <SrRaven> but I can't go to it
[07:37] <SrRaven> in terminal
[07:37] <ArrenLex> Not surprising... out of 919 it's reasonable I've seen some.
 Not sure I got this from rtsoft.com
[07:37] <SrRaven> at least I don't see it
[07:37] <Locke2> i've played it before
[07:37] <ArrenLex> I wonder if this channel has ever hit 1000.
[07:37] <Locke2> its kinda weak
[07:37] <SrRaven> it just says hda1
[07:37] <SrRaven> ideas anyone?
[07:37] <Locke2> ArrenLex- i wonder too
[07:37] <ladydoor> johnt: it's just something i saw randomly once
[07:38] <chuckyp> johnt, hrm.. well I dunno possibly try to reinstall it and pay attention to the path etc... maybe the installer is broken but if their is no executable it can't be run... The only thing I would check is cat the dinkwood.ini and see if that has a path to executable in it.
[07:38] <Descention> hello, im trying to set up my nvidia geforce go 6800, and was following the method one tutorial on "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Latest_Nvidia_Dapper" and once i put in "gksudo gedit /usr/share/applications/NVIDIA-Settings.desktop" it sends back an error saying "(gksudo:6510): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:"     what do i do?
[07:38] <flo_> someusernoob: thank you very very much anyway for your patience
[07:38] <LuisMendes> can someone tell me if synaptic's qemu comes with kqemu?
[07:38] <someusernoob> flo_: no problem, i hope you will find a fix for it
[07:38] <mpech> question
[07:38] <giovanni> hi
[07:38] <chuckyp> !tell SrRaven about ntfs
[07:38] <mpech> system -> administration -> networking
[07:39] <mpech> freeze!
[07:39] <chuckyp> SrRaven, read the message from ubotu
[07:39] <mpech> hm
[07:39] <SrRaven> I can see it
[07:39] <SrRaven> as in browse it
[07:39] <SrRaven> but its empty
[07:39] <mpech> hm
[07:39] <chuckyp> Descention, are you in gnome when you are doing that command or text based terminal only
[07:39] <SrRaven> as i formatted it before I slammed linux on this thing
[07:39] <mpech> timeout 5mins
[07:39] <someusernoob> flo_: and if you resize your panel?
[07:39] <Descention> chuckyp: i am running the command through putty
[07:39] <flo_> someusernoob: doesn't work either
[07:40] <ladydoor> Descention: instead do sudo nano -w
[07:40] <giovanni> i noticed, when shutting down my machine it shuts down something like a bittorrent tracker. I can't identify any process an nothing that might start it. i need to know where it comes from an where to stop it, as i'm in kind of trouble here.
 OK I will go back and play with it some more I am just trying to get comfortable with wine and am not able to use 3d that is why I chose Dink
[07:40] <chuckyp> Descention, yeah you would need to use nano or some text based text editor like sudo nano /usr/share/....
[07:40] <flo_> someusernoob: hmm what about copying the Human Icon Theme and just replace that icon?
[07:40] <chuckyp> Descention, and edit the file that way.
[07:40] <Descention> thank you
[07:40] <ArrenLex> giovanni: it's part of the bittorrent package.
[07:40] <chuckyp> johnt, gotcha yeah the only real tricky thing with wine is that hidden folder stuff but if you are displaying them you already know.
[07:41] <ArrenLex> gio: if you don't want it, uninstall bittorrent.
[07:41] <ladydoor> chuckyp: nano -w will prevent linebreaks, which is important for people who aren't in a large terminal...
[07:41] <giovanni> ArrenLex, I thought, the tracker is server side?
[07:41] <chuckyp> ladydoor, i've never had a problem with nano breaking lines even in a small terminal
[07:41] <someusernoob> flo_: you can try it, but it is a really strange way to get an icon working, it shouldnt be this hard
[07:41] <ArrenLex> giovannI: yes, the bittorrent tracker is for servers. I'm not quite sure why it's included.
[07:41] <giovanni> it sucks
[07:41] <ladydoor> chuckyp: *shrug*. i don't use nano, just passing along tips i've heard.
[07:41] <SrRaven> so chuckyp,how do I switch to that partition in terminal ?
[07:42] <giovanni> so i have to remove the client with it
[07:42] <SrRaven> And also PLEASE can anyone tell me why I can't get to my bnc's with xchat?
[07:42] <DiamonD> Hi ppls
[07:42] <someusernoob> flo_: and i really cant stand it that it worked here fine :S:S
[07:42] <DiamonD> can someone help me install tcp server on ubuntu
 Thx for all the help I will go and see if I can sort it a bit. There is a different  older ver on the site I may try that one  Bye for now
[07:42] <DiamonD> is it possible to install qmail on ubuntu
[07:43] <DiamonD> ?
[07:43] <giovanni> ArrenLex, do you think my box works as a tracker without asking me?
[07:43] <ArrenLex> giovanni: I don't know anything. All I know it it's part of the package. Google is your friend.
[07:44] <giovanni> thanks
[07:44] <kutan> Can someone tell me how to use chmod?
[07:44] <Wiseguy> kutan, man chmod?
[07:44] <kutan> I looked at it but it confused me even mroe
[07:44] <kutan> more*
[07:44] <iLLf8d> heh
[07:44] <ArrenLex> kutan: basically you use a hex code to set permissions to a file or directory.
[07:44] <ArrenLex> hex is probably the wrong word.
[07:44] <giovanni> ah shit... its part of ubuntu desktop
[07:45] <ArrenLex> I'm sure someone smart will correct me.
[07:45] <wols> ArrenLex: octal
[07:45] <ArrenLex> See?
[07:45] <kutan> soooo What does that mean to me?
[07:45] <Locke2> yes 0-7
[07:45] <Jangsta> how do i access the X config
[07:45] <SrRaven> I got a rather big problem
[07:45] <Locke2> 7 being full access
[07:45] <Jangsta> whats command
[07:45] <flo_> someusernoob: I think I will give up for today
[07:45] <wols> Jangsta: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org
[07:45] <SrRaven> on my keyboard,there is a +* and a curly line simbol
[07:45] <Jangsta> ahh ok
[07:45] <Jangsta> thanks
[07:45] <neutrinomass> Jangsta: It's in /etc/X11/xorg.conf , to change it though, do what wols suggested
[07:46] <SrRaven> curly line symbol doesn't work
[07:46] <ArrenLex> jangsta: it's in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:46] <SrRaven> help :(
[07:46] <Jangsta> it keps telling me it must be run as a root
[07:46] <chuckyp> DiamonD, is qmail availible for linux?
[07:46] <someusernoob> flo_: so it didnt work?
[07:46] <ArrenLex> SrRaven: you probably are using the wrong keyboard layout.
[07:46] <Jangsta> (im installin, so i only have command prompt up)
[07:46] <neutrinomass> Jangsta: You need to use "sudo"
[07:46] <flo_> someusernoob: no
[07:46] <Jangsta> oh what do you mean?
[07:46] <ArrenLex> SrRaven: Oh, do you mean the tilde? ~
[07:46] <Jangsta> put sudo first
[07:46] <neutrinomass> Jangsta: i.e. not "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg", but "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[07:46] <SrRaven> yes
[07:46] <someusernoob> flo_: ur the only account on the computer?
[07:47] <Jangsta> ahhhh thanyou neurtriomass
[07:47] <wols> chuckyp: yes it is. but stay away from it. postfix or exim4
[07:47] <cadamuz> OLA
[07:47] <SrRaven> every other symbol seems to work
[07:47] <kutan> When I asked for help with chmod, what I really meant was, "Can someone give me the basic structure or an example of a chmod command?"
[07:47] <iLLf8d> kutan run this in a terminal ->  touch /tmp/hrm; for a in 777 666 555 444 333 222 111; do chmod $a /tmp/hrm; echo $a; ls -al /tmp/hrm; done
[07:47] <flo_> someusernoob: yes i am
[07:47] <DiamonD> yes chuckyp
[07:47] <DiamonD> www.qmailrocks.com
[07:47] <iLLf8d> kutan, may giveya some idea as to which numbers do what
[07:47] <wols> kutan: chmod <octalnumbers> <file to chmod>
[07:48] <chuckyp> DiamonD, there ya go postfix is an appropriate solution or of you search around on google i'm sure you could find a qmail walkthrough or somehting.
[07:48] <iLLf8d> actually you may want to put in 000 too
[07:48] <someusernoob> flo_: otherwise you could check if it also occurs in another account
[07:48] <kutan> localhost% chmod 777 pwn
[07:48] <kutan> chmod: wrong mode
[07:48] <DiamonD> yes i found one howto for qmail
[07:48] <DiamonD> but i keep hanging on TCP server
[07:48] <chuckyp> DiamonD, http://www.paralipsis.org/2006/03/ubuntu-qmail-howto/
[07:48] <flo_> someusernoob: great idea, i'll try that
[07:48] <wols> DiamonD: any reason it has to be qmail?
[07:48] <neutrinomass> Jangsta: Another unrelated but very useful tip: In most IRC clients (gaim, xchat ) you can use "tab-completion". Instead of having to type the entire "neutrinomass", you type "neut" and hit tab, and if there's no other name that begins with "neut", "neut" changes to "neutrinomass" :)
[07:48] <chuckyp> DiamonD, oh hrm... no idea I don't have any experience with it.
[07:49] <SrRaven> I can't find a setting to add the twirl thing
[07:49] <SrRaven> what do I do?
[07:50] <wols> SrRaven: tilde it'S called
[07:50] <stefg> !info wondershaper
[07:50] <ubotu> wondershaper: Easy to use traffic shaping script. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.1a-4 (dapper), package size 13 kB, installed size 80 kB
[07:50] <stefg> yay..
[07:50] <iLLf8d> kutan try chmod 777 ./pwn
[07:50] <kutan> still says wrong mode
[07:50] <DiamonD> no wols
[07:50] <iLLf8d> hrm dunno where are you typing this?
[07:50] <chuckyp> kutan, what is pwn?
[07:51] <danv> DiamonD: Forget qmail. It's old. Postfix, et. al. are all light years ahead of it in features on performance.
[07:51] <kutan> some file
[07:51] <chuckyp> kutan, perhaps you don't have permissions to change it sudo chmod 777 pwn
[07:51] <iLLf8d> kutan, try touch hrm then chmod 777 hrm
[07:51] <Mogz> are there any ubuntu kernel package with reiser4 support?
[07:51] <DiamonD> i just want a multimailserver
[07:51] <iLLf8d> see if it givesya the same wrong mode error
[07:51] <DiamonD> with more domains then just one
[07:51] <chuckyp> kutan, are you trying to make it executable?
[07:51] <Blob> HI all - I'm wondering why the recommended updates from update-manager differ (sometimes wildly) from the CLI aptitude install command.  Anyone with any ideas?
[07:51] <kutan> yes
[07:51] <chuckyp> kutan, there is also chmod +x pwn
[07:51] <DiamonD> i heard from some guys that qmail whas tha best
[07:51] <kutan> I tried that too
[07:51] <danv> DiamonD Yeah, find a postfix howto on virtual domains. There are hundreds out there.
[07:52] <DiamonD> ok
[07:52] <wetduck_> What tools do I need to install to compile Java?
[07:52] <iLLf8d> kutan, sounds like somethings honked up just logout and back in or open a new term
[07:52] <neutrinomass> Mogz: No... generally people that want to use reiser4 can patch and build it or themselves
[07:52] <kutan> I tried "chmod a+rwx" "chmod +rwx" etc.
[07:52] <SrRaven> oh well how do I add a tilde than
[07:52] <DiamonD> ok i will try
[07:52] <wols> DiamonD: a very good one (tho for debian) is "ispmail for sage" at workaround.org
[07:52] <Mogz> neutrinomass: how about this? http://wiki.namesys.com/Howto_reiser4_ububtu <-- the link don't work though.
[07:52] <chuckyp> kutan, hrm... wrong mode thats interesting
[07:53] <chuckyp> kutan, where did you get the file from?
[07:53] <wetduck_> Could someone here help me with Ubuntu/Java please?
[07:54] <MikeDK> hi all
[07:54] <danv> Wetduck, you want to compile java?
[07:54] <chuckyp> !tell wetduck about java
[07:54] <kutan> try connecting to uhm.. mission2@youhack.org pass:mission2
[07:54] <neutrinomass> Mogz: Those are not official packages ;) The link doesn't work for me either ... at any rate, you shouldn't be using reiser4 unless you're willing to risk data loss
[07:54] <Mogz> I noticed the package I built from the kernel sources didn't include any initrd or whatnot... would that mean no splash? and could it be the reason for the kernel panic?
[07:54] <kutan> it's somethin someone I know came up with
[07:55] <wetduck_> danv, yep. I am not sure about what to download.
[07:55] <MikeDK> how do i modify text color in firefox
[07:55] <Mogz> neutrinomass: i know. but I've been using it for like a year on my old sys (arch linux)... now I just switched to ubuntu and would just like to be able to access my old partitions :P
[07:55] <chuckyp> kutan, is it in there exploits or ?
[07:55] <neutrinomass> Mogz: See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild on how to build a kernel. Check the namesys site for patches
[07:55] <wetduck_> danv, it seens that there is no Java 1.5 for Ubuntu yet.
[07:55] <kutan> It's under challenges
[07:55] <MikeDK> need black color in address-bar
[07:56] <neutrinomass> Mogz: Other than that, if you don't go with initrd you will want to at least include support for your / filesystem and your / 's hard disk drive ... not as modules but built into the kernel
[07:56] <DiamonD> can i download ispmail with apt-get
[07:56] <wetduck_> !
[07:56] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> people is it possible to make VB programs in Linux/
[07:56] <wetduck_> !java
[07:56] <ubotu> 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
[07:56] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> !VB
[07:56] <MikeDK> how do i modify text color in firefox, need black color in address-bar
[07:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about VB - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:57] <DiamonD> chuckyp
[07:57] <Mogz> neutrinomass: oh, that's what that panic was all about :)
[07:57] <danv> DiamonD, follow this:
[07:57] <danv> http://workaround.org/articles/ispmail-sarge/
[07:57] <chuckyp> kutan, that is a problem witht here server because that should work
[07:57] <Mogz> sorry, was a long time ago I last had to bother with this stuff...
[07:57] <DiamonD> The resource cannot be displayed
[07:57] <DiamonD> danv
[07:57] <danv> ?
[07:57] <kutan> ah alright
[07:58] <DiamonD> the page could not be displayd
[07:58] <DiamonD> danv
[07:58] <danv> Interesting. I'm there right now.
[07:58] <chuckyp> kutan, I just connected and tried to chmod it and couldn't either .
[07:58] <danv> DiamonD: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_debian_sarge
[07:59] <danv> DiamonD: http://johnny.chadda.se/2005/04/30/postfix-howto/
[07:59] <chuckyp> kutan, I believe they want you to compile it first
[07:59] <kutan> I did
[07:59] <Mogz> here's another stupid question... could I use the kernel I compiled together with the initrd of the kernel I was using before (am currently using)? they're both 2.6.15.
[08:00] <kutan> I used gcc on pwn.c and used chmod on pwn
[08:00] <danv> You probably cannot combine old initrds and new kernels
[08:00] <chuckyp> kutan, hrm..
[08:00] <danv> The modules need to be exactly the same.
[08:00] <chuckyp> kutan, just trying to figure out what they mean by setuid
[08:00] <Eli_Coten> hi. I have a problem loading ubuntu under bochs. I get an error message Unable to locate RSDP
[08:00] <Mogz> hm... brb.
[08:00] <Rehinold> hi
[08:00] <stefg> Mogz: the modules inside the initrd won't fit with the new kernel
[08:01] <kutan> oy... brb gonna go take out the garbage
[08:01] <chuckyp> kutan, alright i'm trying to figure it out.
[08:01] <Rehinold> do you know how to run adobe photoshop 7.0 with wine?
[08:01] <Eli_Coten> any ideas anyone?
[08:01] <Rehinold> it gives some errors
[08:02] <Jay_Levitt> Anyone here good with Cyrus IMAPD and BDB?  I'm upgrading from Mandrake to Ubuntu and apparently was using an old Berkeley DB version.. can't figure out how/what to upgrade
[08:02] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> Rehinold: what errors?
[08:02] <stefg> Rehinold: /j #winehq
[08:02] <sharperguy> is there a .deb for enemy territory?
[08:02] <wubrgamer> so was that last firefox update like
[08:02] <wubrgamer> a bug fix ?
[08:02] <wubrgamer> or what ?
[08:02] <jmitchj> when trying to install different pacakages, i get message E: Counldn't find package...., any ideas why?
[08:03] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> jmitchj: enabled universal respos?
[08:03] <neutrinomass> sharperguy: Apparently there isn't one in the repos
[08:03] <jmitchj> how?...new to linux...
[08:03] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> ok open synaptic
[08:04] <SrRaven> wb punjabi
[08:04] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> SrRaven: Hello Sir!
[08:04] <jmitchj> done
[08:04] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> anymore help you want?
[08:04] <engla> my ubuntu is really slow. Could this be because of upgrading from breezy -> dapper? or is this a general problem with ppc ubuntu? (similar hardware on an intel laptop is much snappier)
[08:04] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> engla:  get xubuntu
[08:04] <SrRaven> Still loads man
[08:04] <Eli_Coten> how do you disable acpi at bootup?
[08:04] <engla> PunjabiFLOYDIAN: I like gnome and the apps
[08:05] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> jmitchj: choose settings > repos
[08:05] <neutrinomass> Eli_Coten: Click 'e' to edit the grub command line parameters and add acpi=off
[08:05] <wols> Eli_Coten: acpi=off
[08:05] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> elic_coten= acpi=off
[08:05] <engla> PunjabiFLOYDIAN: and the problem is that apps, of any type, start really slowly
[08:05] <czer323> Any suggestions for Xchat and changing the default browser it uses to open links?
[08:05] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> whats ur hardware like?
[08:05] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> SrRaven: ASk!
[08:05] <SrRaven> Hehe ok
[08:05] <engla> it's an 1.2 GHz ppc ibook
[08:05] <Ramunas> where can i get w32codecs?
[08:05] <jmitchj> ok...then?
[08:05] <fredl> hey guys got a kernel specific question but it applies to the Ubuntu Linux kernel as well so I'll ask it here as well. I've been looking into the USER_HZ value in the kernel. By changing that constant in params.h from 250 to 1000 it's supposedly possible to make fast systems have less latency. Additionally, there's the dev.rtc.max-user-freq setting. It *looks* the same but on both Ubuntu and FC5 it seems to be set to 64, which seems quite slow. So they
[08:05] <fredl>  may be completely different numbers. Anybody know why this setting is set to 64 in Ubuntu or is that just because it's the default?
[08:05] <engla> ubuntu works fine with it, but it's slow, especially launching apps as I said
[08:05] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> Ramunas: sucks. still cant figure it out
[08:06] <chuckyp> kutan, yeah I dunno seems to be a problem with their nix box
[08:06] <Ramunas> PunjabiFLOYDIAN: can't find it?
[08:06] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> jmitch: choose the first one, choose edit, then under components TICK ALL.
[08:06] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> repeat the same
[08:06] <Ramunas> !w32codecs
[08:06] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> Ramunas: cant play WMVs still. not even on VideoLAN

[08:06] <wubrgamer> how many of you run apache ?
[08:06] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> SrRAveN: You there buddy
[08:06] <azcazandco> can anyone help me, I have screwed up apt-get etc trying to install the jedit deb file
[08:06] <SrRaven> 1) My keyboard doesn't seem to support the tilde symbol how do I fix that ? 2) How do I change Linux lang from German to English 3) How do I let terminal save to HDA ? i got 5.04 and wanna update to 6.06 but got only 1.2 gb space left on the partition with Linux 4) Why don't any bnc's work on Linux ?? It says couldn't reach server
[08:06] <SrRaven> yeh
[08:07] <azcazandco> I can no longer apt-get install nor use synaptic
[08:07] <Jay_Levitt> I run apache
[08:07] <Jay_Levitt> (2.0)
[08:07] <azcazandco> SrRaven: I have a similar problem with the pound sign
[08:07] <Mogz> nope... didn't work.
[08:07] <Mogz> :)
[08:07] <SrRaven> Well my big problem is,I can't connect to my website that way
[08:07] <sharperguy> azcazandco, are all the repositories in the /etc/apt/sources.list file?
[08:08] <yaman> hi every one do any one know a program i can use for ubuntu to design web pages like the frontpage in windows ?
[08:08] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> SrRaven: 1. Not sure. 2. Gnome footprint>system>administration>languages 3. u need a better harddisk. 4. what are bnc's?
[08:08] <chuckyp> SrRaven, open a terminal and type in sudo gnome-language-selector
[08:08] <neutrinomass> fredl: No idea, but it's probably a different number since the USER_HZ is a preprocessor #define that cannot be changed at runtime
[08:08] <azcazandco> sharperguy: yup
[08:08] <Mogz> so how do I do if I want to build an initrd for my kernel with basic filesystem support + the normal splash?
[08:08] <jmitchj> EDIT not available option
[08:08] <SrRaven> bnc's stay in IRC 24/7
[08:08] <azcazandco> yaman: try nvu
[08:08] <yaman> thanx azcazandco
[08:09] <SrRaven> sudo: gnome-language-selector: command not found
[08:09] <azcazandco> no worries
[08:09] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> u do it the GUI Way.
[08:09] <neutrinomass> Mogz: I don't think it's mandatory to have an initrd if you do the rest right. I haven't compiled a kernel in a long time though :-/
[08:09] <SrRaven> And needing a better hard disk isn't really a option :(
[08:09] <chuckyp> SrRaven, Do you see where it says System  ?
[08:09] <SrRaven> Yeah but i don't see annnny language flag
[08:09] <fredl> neutrinomass, Hmm. Well I've been reading about the tickless kernel and that there's movement on that front starting with the 2.6.16 kernel...
[08:09] <Jay_Levitt> wubrgamer: I run apache.. need help?
[08:10] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> oh come on
[08:10] <chuckyp> SrRaven, click on system then click on administration  then click on language     I'm sure you may have to translate it to whatever the hell it says in german but thats the way.
[08:10] <danv> yaman: You actually *WANT* Frontpage like behaviour?
[08:10] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> SYSTEM> ADMINISTRATION> LANGUAGE
[08:10] <Mogz> neutrinomass: well, I can imagine I missed builtin support for ext3 and stuff like that. fully understandable if the kernel panics when it can't load modules to read the filesystem on which the modules are located
[08:10] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> sorry for the caps
[08:10] <Mogz> classic catch-22
[08:10] <chuckyp> PunjabiFLOYDIAN, i've been trying for atleast 45 minutes with him.
[08:10] <chuckyp> PunjabiFLOYDIAN, I gave up for a while.
[08:10] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> lol
[08:10] <Jay_Levitt> danv: it's not ALL that bad... actually the most recent versions were fairly handy

[08:11] <SrRaven> Ubuntu
[08:11] <neutrinomass> fredl: Yep. Dynticks has been discussed quite a lot and AFAIK it will be merged into the kernel at some point, but not yet
[08:11] <danv> Well I won't be able to help you figure out how to do it. I have enough fun prying my eyeballs out with spoons.

[08:14] <fredl> neutrinomass, just got an answer on #fedora: <wwoods> fredl: it's the max frequency a normal user is allowed to set the RTC (/dev/rtc) to
[08:14] <SrRaven> Yeahhhh

[08:15] <factotum> nevermind, found it, thanks
[08:15] <neutrinomass> fredl: Ahh ok.... although I'm not quite sure how the kernel handles higher frequencies if the RTC is that slow (quite a long time since I've been involved with kernel timing mechanisms )
[08:15] <georgy_> !it
[08:15] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[08:15] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> SrRaven: got it buddy?
[08:15] <nicusor> :)
[08:15] <chuckyp> PunjabiFLOYDIAN, if he speaks german I don't understand why he doens't go to #ubuntu-de so they can tell him how to do it
[08:15] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> chuckyp: LOL. he is a geek. kernel hacker!
[08:15] <nicusor> any roumanian in the haouse? :)
[08:15] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> ROFL LMAO
[08:15] <fredl> neutrinomass, I know :P a 64Hz RT clock would be kinda... slow huh? :)
[08:15] <SrRaven> nope
[08:15] <nicusor> :(
[08:16] <taaen> Regarding ubuntu server 6.0.6 lts : Good news that we finally have a debian based distro with long term support. However - am I stuck with Apache 2.0.55 for the next 5 years ?
[08:16] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> SrRaven: i sincerly recommend you upgrade to Dapper Drake

[08:16] <nicusor> comone people a got a problem i cent connect tot the internet from ubuntu?? i have fiberlink i use pppoeconf but dazent work>???any alternative ??
[08:16] <mirf> I get Bad Request 400 when I try download certian things through a terminal... but these same files come fine through firefox, any ideas?

[08:17] <chuckyp> SrRaven, its only 700mb
[08:17] <SrRaven> and theres only 1.2 gb left on space which I can dl to
[08:17] <mirf> nicusor, did you recently boot windows?
[08:17] <danv> mirf: Got an example?
[08:17] <chuckyp> SrRaven, okay so you have enough space
[08:17] <nicusor> yes am talking from windows now
[08:17] <chuckyp> SrRaven, you could almost download it twice
[08:17] <SrRaven> Linux doesn't bother if it only has a few hundred mb left ?
[08:17] <wols> SrRaven: apt-get dist-upgrade?
[08:17] <mirf> danv, I was doing svn co http://svn.zeitherrschaft.org/buze mute
[08:17] <mirf> this time
[08:17] <chuckyp> SrRaven, no this isn't windows
[08:18] <nicusor> from ubutnu i cent connect tot the net
[08:18] <nicusor> :(
[08:18] <mirf> nicusor, I had probs getting my nic to talk to ubuntu after windows
[08:18] <chuckyp> SrRaven, the other option is to dist-upgrade like I said before but with the problems your having like the wrong language etc... I would reinstall.
[08:18] <SrRaven> ok wgetting it
[08:18] <mabus> I tried to get mp3s working, and now not only do they not work, but when I play any file that is supposed to have sound working, it doesn't play. Help?
[08:18] <mirf> have to remove power from psu for a minute then boot to get it to work
[08:18] <mabus> !sound
[08:18] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure alsa is selected by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (Alsa Mixer). If you are still having problems with sound, then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems
[08:18] <chuckyp> SrRaven, are you dual-booting this machine?
[08:18] <SrRaven> no
[08:18] <wols> mirf: does "pppoe -A" get your something in linux?
[08:19] <SrRaven> my win fcked up
[08:19] <SrRaven> unrepairable
[08:19] <SrRaven> thats why im on Lin
[08:19] <stefg> nicusor: what type of connection are you using?
[08:19] <LuisMendes> I'm trying to compile kqemu. I run the ./configure script just fine, no errors. But when I try running make, it says the command does not exist.. any suggestions?
[08:19] <nicusor> i dont now wats iz the problem i use pppoeconf but dazent worh?
[08:19] <nicusor> fiberlink
[08:19] <chuckyp> SrRaven, unless you find someone that is familair with hoary I have no idea how to switch the language over.
[08:19] <SrRaven> ehm it says I don't have the rights
[08:19] <chuckyp> SrRaven, but if you have nothing to lose you can install fromt he cd.
[08:19] <gerhard> hi, how do I get the codecs to watch wmv files?
[08:19] <chuckyp> SrRaven, you don't have the rights to do what?
[08:19] <danv> LuisMendes: apt-get install build-essential
[08:19] <gerhard> w32codecs or win32codecs are not found by synaptic
[08:19] <SrRaven> download it
[08:19] <SrRaven> says so
[08:19] <chuckyp> SrRaven, well download it to your home directory
[08:19] <chuckyp> SrRaven, cd ~
[08:20] <nicusor> i use fiberconection
[08:20] <nicusor> i have no model
[08:20] <SrRaven> I can't do the tilde symbol :P
[08:20] <chuckyp> SrRaven, or cd /home/srraven
[08:20] <czer323> gerhard> check out easyubuntu
[08:20] <czer323> !easyubuntu
[08:20] <gerhard> but i meant that the package's name was like that

[08:20] <yaman> help plz (am new in linux and i wana ask about what should i install the wine or the winex to let the windows programs work on my ubnuntu)
[08:20] <SrRaven> still says can't do it
[08:20] <mirf> wols, ask nicusor :P
[08:20] <chuckyp> SrRaven, well do cd /home/<username>
[08:20] <chuckyp> SrRaven, whatever you username is on that box
[08:20] <stefg> nicusor: i don't understand a word, but maybe this helps: http://forum.ubuntu.ro/viewtopic.php?id=895
[08:20] <SrRaven> now its going
[08:20] <wols> SrRaven: just do "cd". nothing else
[08:20] <nicusor> :)
[08:20] <chuckyp> SrRaven, don't you have gnome up and running?
[08:20] <SrRaven> 17,5 mins left
[08:20] <wols> nicusor: does pppoe -A output something?
[08:21] <chuckyp> SrRaven, You could just use the browser to download it instead of wget'ng it.
[08:21] <yaman> lets ask the same qustion again
[08:21] <yaman> help plz (am new in linux and i wana ask about what should i install the wine or the winex to let the windows programs work on my ubnuntu)
[08:21] <SrRaven> yeh chuckyp
[08:21] <SrRaven> but firefox died on me last 3 times
[08:21] <chuckyp> yaman, wine allows you to run some windows applications in linux
[08:22] <stefg> !wine
[08:22] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[08:22] <yaman> and winex?
[08:22] <stefg> is cedega
[08:22] <chuckyp> yaman, I believe that is a fork of wine
[08:22] <chuckyp> stefg, its not cedega
[08:22] <yaman> aha thanx stefg and chuckyp
[08:22] <gerhard> czer323, when I run the sudo pyton easyubuntu.in command, there is a blank line in the terminal and nothing happens
[08:22] <wols> chuckyp: it is
[08:22] <GhostFreeman> I'm not able to write anything to my vfat partitions
[08:22] <GhostFreeman> even though they are mounted
[08:22] <chuckyp> yaman, yeah it is you have to pay for winex and wine is free
[08:22] <stefg> !mountwindows
[08:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mountwindows - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:23] <stefg> !mount
[08:23] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted  -  Formatting partitions: see the manual page for mkfs ("man mkfs")  -  Mounting partitions in Gnome: System -> Administration -> Disks
[08:23] <czer323> gerhard> let me check out the site.  gimme a second.  beena  while ;)
[08:23] <gerhard> ok ty
[08:23] <chuckyp> GhostFreeman, did you check out the wiki about mounting windows partitons?
[08:23] <SrRaven> Ehm,just to go sure here.If I download stuff,can I still download to my former win partition ?
[08:23] <SrRaven> Because if not I'll have to switch back to win as I got no way of securing all the data
[08:23] <GhostFreeman> no, didn't see that
[08:24] <stefg> GhostFreeman: they are mounted 'ro', you have to mount them in /etc/fstab with special options
[08:24] <chuckyp> SrRaven, You can't write to NTFS
[08:24] <chuckyp> SrRaven, but you can read from it.
[08:24] <GhostFreeman> I just added the fstab lines as advised by Ubuntu Guide
[08:24] <gerhard> czer323, look at this: http://nopaste.biz/?8256
[08:24] <czer323> gerhard> and just to double check, what I normally do is copy the instructions and just paste it into terminal.
[08:24] <GhostFreeman> the Ubuntu Wiki, right?
[08:24] <SrRaven> awesome
[08:24] <SrRaven> im fcked bigtime
[08:24] <chuckyp> SrRaven, you can also remove windows completely depends what you are trying to do?
[08:24] <chuckyp> SrRaven, why are you screwed?
[08:24] <georgy_> !language
[08:24] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[08:24] <LuisMendes> danv, thanks, it worked!
[08:24] <stefg> GhostFreeman: paste your /etc/fstab to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ and let me have a look
[08:25] <chuckyp> SrRaven, what are you trying to accomplish  you keep going off on tangents here?
[08:25] <GhostFreeman> ok
[08:25] <SrRaven> Because I would have to secure all my data and make the partition (75 gb) into a linux thing right?
[08:25] <czer323> gerhard> it's telling you waht to do ;)  "
[08:25] <czer323> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem."
[08:25] <chuckyp> SrRaven, what do you want TO DO ?
[08:25] <mabus> Okay, I got sound working, but still no mp3 playback. I tried the ubuntu howto on mp3s. Any ideas, please?
[08:25] <chuckyp> SrRaven, get DATA OFF OF YOUR WINDOWS PARTION?
[08:25] <chuckyp> SrRaven, FIX WINDOWS
[08:25] <chuckyp> SrRaven, INSTALL UBUNTU?
[08:25] <SrRaven> well fixing windows would be a option
[08:25] <wols> SrRaven: since that windows partition is noe totally empty, reformat it ext3 and no more problem
[08:26] <chuckyp> SrRaven, you've asked about a million questions
[08:26] <SrRaven> but sooner or later I wanna switch anyway
[08:26] <chuckyp> all going no where.
[08:26] <czer323> gerhard> acutally, it just did it for you.  Hm... and nothign else happens?
[08:26] <gerhard> czer323, when I type it, some thing from VM Ware shows up and wants to configure some network
[08:26] <chuckyp> wha5t is wrong with your windows ?
[08:26] <SrRaven> no my 75 gb partition,the one with all my mp3s videos and pictures and personal info is not formatted
[08:26] <stefg> mabus: what app are you tryinf to use for playback?
[08:26] <gerhard> czer323, that also comes, when I work with Synaptic
[08:26] <chuckyp> o 'jkl'salda
[08:26] <chuckyp>  dsa jk'ak' lasdl 'lk'a sdg
[08:26] <SrRaven> lol
[08:26] <SrRaven> sorry
[08:26] <czer323> gerhard> have you tried installing the vmware packages then?
[08:26] <GhostFreeman> stefg: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24792
[08:27] <chuckyp> SrRaven, lets do one thing at a time.
[08:27] <czer323> gerhard> I'm really just asking if you want them installed.
[08:27] <chuckyp> SrRaven, whats wrong with your windows install?
[08:27] <gerhard> czer323, YES! about ten times
[08:27] <stefg> GhostFreeman: k, mom
[08:27] <mabus> stefg: tried totem, xmms, vlc, xfmedia
[08:27] <gerhard> czer323, they wont let themselves be installed and I dont know how to get them away
[08:27] <SrRaven> yesterday night I had a msn conference with friends from school,suddenly a blackscreen,can't boot back into Windows,I want to use a old backup I did with Archos but thats invalid,now whatever Windows CD I want to use,it give me invalid partition structur or something as error
[08:27] <SrRaven> thats why im on Linux.
[08:27] <stefg> mabus: huh? vlc _can_ play mp3, even without further modifications
[08:28] <czer323> gerhard> looool, do you need them?
[08:28] <chuckyp> SrRaven, what do you mean can't boot back in to windows?  Does it give an error or anything?
[08:28] <SrRaven> yes
[08:28] <chuckyp> SrRaven, WHAT IS THE ERROR
[08:28] <SrRaven> gave me "Can't check if Windows is Activated"
[08:28] <SrRaven> than nothing
[08:28] <chuckyp> SrRaven, omfg
[08:28] <gerhard> czer323, no, but i think i can uninstall them. wait
[08:29] <SrRaven> what ? lol
[08:29] <czer323> gerhard> You probably can from synaptics.
[08:29] <chuckyp> SrRaven, well fist you need a legit copy of windows then you need to activate it with mircrosoft.
[08:29] <SrRaven> No no
[08:29] <SrRaven> thats not the one
[08:29] <SrRaven> I had that Win running for over a year
[08:29] <xipietotec> what program do I use to defrag the harddrive?
[08:29] <gerhard> czer323, yesss! it works!
[08:29] <gerhard> thank you
[08:29] <SrRaven> but some Windows update screwed it up
[08:30] <wols> xipietotec: what filesystem?
[08:30] <czer323> gerhard> awesome ;)  Yeah, I seriously wonder what was up with that vmware stuff.  I've never bothered to set it up personally.
[08:30] <xipietotec> erm...
[08:30] <chuckyp> SrRaven, okay well the other option is to try to boot to the windows xp install cd and run a repair.  Or try booting to safe mode etc.. and running chkdsk -f
[08:30] <fredzer> GRR
[08:30] <xipietotec> that's a good question
[08:30] <xipietotec> I have no idea
[08:30] <Somniis> SrRaven: have you used the recovery console to try and correct it?
[08:30] <fredzer> what the hell do i do to use source files!
[08:30] <fredzer> nothing works!
[08:30] <fredzer> :@
[08:30] <SrRaven> dude I formatted the Win partition
[08:30] <wols> xipietotec: run "mount" without any parameters
[08:30] <Somniis> ....
[08:30] <gerhard> czer323, i dont know. would you recommend me to install the ati driver? when I last did, my system didnt shutdown properly
[08:30] <chuckyp> SrRaven, okay?
[08:30] <SrRaven> as it didn't do anything
[08:30] <SrRaven> I use Archos backup manager
[08:31] <SrRaven> normally does its job..didn't this one time
[08:31] <chuckyp> SrRaven, so now you want to install the newer version of ubuntu? to the whole harddrive?
[08:31] <xipietotec> /dev/hda1/ ?
[08:31] <Conqueror> buenas. somebody testing edgy knot 3 here?
[08:31] <SrRaven> Well,or fix Windows,rather fix windows though
[08:31] <Mogz> how do I use mkinitramfs do build an initramfs for the kernel I've built (not the kernel I am currently running)
[08:31] <chuckyp> SrRaven, or are you trying to recover your data from windows?
[08:31] <Somniis> I am lost.. haha
[08:31] <GhostFreeman> btw stefg I can write to the mounts in sudo
[08:31] <czer323> gerhard> that's up to you.  It'd allow for better hardware acceleration, but personally, i'd suggest looking for the binary driver installation guide.  It'll be a bit more through.  I dunno how easyubuntu does it.
[08:31] <czer323> !binarydriver
[08:31] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:31] <SrRaven> Because if I have to format my 75gb partition,that ain't gonna happen
[08:31] <xipietotec> wols: What am I looking for exactly?
[08:31] <chuckyp> SrRaven, well if you formated the windows partiton you are pretty screwed.
[08:31] <gerhard> czer323, good, ty
[08:31] <SrRaven> Dude I couldn't even install it again
[08:31] <Somniis> yes, formatting erases all data...
[08:31] <gerhard> first i need the codec
[08:32] <SrRaven> it gave me something about invalid partition structure
[08:32] <wols> xipietotec: whatever comes after "type"
[08:32] <gerhard> czer323,  you from USA?
[08:32] <stefg> GhostFreeman: hold on a sec, I'm mending your borked fstab (you followed the guide for ntfs :-).. but pastebin is so sloooowwww
[08:32] <xipietotec> ext3
[08:32] <SrRaven> Ok I think you didn't get this part C= Windows and Programms D = Data onlyyyyyyy
[08:32] <chuckyp> SrRaven, well you would need to create a partiton to install windows to.
[08:32] <SrRaven> I only formatted C
[08:32] <chuckyp> SrRaven, I under stand.
[08:32] <SrRaven> Did that chuckyp
[08:32] <Conqueror> somebody testing edgy knot 3 here?
[08:32] <SrRaven> didn't work

[08:32] <chuckyp> SrRaven, well delete the C partiton and then try reinstalling windows
[08:32] <GhostFreeman> ok
[08:32] <georgy_> Conqueror : yep
[08:33] <SrRaven> I guess you don't like me lol
[08:33] <gerhard> fredzer, I also have that graphics chip
[08:33] <chuckyp> SrRaven, huh?
[08:33] <Conqueror> georgy_, do you use cable or ADSL?
[08:33] <chuckyp> SrRaven, You already formated it?
[08:33] <fredzer> at 640*480
[08:33] <fredzer> ?
[08:33] <chuckyp> I'm so fucking lost
[08:33] <georgy_> Conqueror: both :)
[08:33] <xipietotec> the filesystem is ext3
[08:33] <SrRaven> I got two partitions
[08:33] <czer323> gerhard> yep, i'm in Ohio
[08:33] <Luci3n> hi i've been trying to configure my sound card but now i have broken my sound server can anyone help??
[08:33] <SrRaven> one 4gb ~ linux
[08:33] <gerhard> fredzer, i run the default graphcis mode, guess it is 1024X1280
[08:33] <SrRaven> one roughly 3.5 for Windows
[08:33] <SrRaven> didn't work in either
[08:33] <wols> xipietotec: defrag then
[08:34] <stefg> GhostFreeman: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24795 there you have a working one, but it takes a reboot to be in effect
[08:34] <xipietotec> just in the command line?
[08:34] <chuckyp> SrRaven, what didn't work in either?
[08:34] <Conqueror> georgy_, I use cable, but since I've installed Edgy it doesn't connect.
[08:34] <SrRaven> the installing of windows
[08:34] <GhostFreeman> what about mount -a?
[08:34] <chuckyp> SrRaven, create a new fn partiton for the windows install
[08:34] <gerhard> czer323, do they sell rabbits in your supermarket, I mean dead ones, to eat? like chickens?
[08:34] <fredzer> but it dont work ... i dont have the ooption to change it it only has 640*480 in the res section
[08:34] <SrRaven> I tried that also
[08:34] <chuckyp> SrRaven, you already formatted c well then why not delete it?
[08:34] <SrRaven> I'll try again tomorrow
[08:34] <georgy_> Conqueror : i don't had this problem, just work fine
[08:34] <SrRaven> I just needed internet
[08:34] <SrRaven> for school
[08:34] <chuckyp> SrRaven, create a new ntfs parttion and install windows to it.
[08:35] <SrRaven> researching stuff
[08:35] <chuckyp> SrRaven, its not hard.
[08:35] <gerhard> fredzer, have you tried to install the ati driver? it worked fine for be, excpet my system was not shutting down well any more
[08:35] <SrRaven> I know Chuckyp
[08:35] <fredzer> which one?
[08:35] <fredzer> link?
[08:35] <Somniis> windows should create the ntfs system on install.
[08:35] <Conqueror> georgy_, just plug and play? no DNS or IP configs?
[08:35] <czer323> gerhard> Looool!!! no way!  hahaha, a lot of kids in the country area actually raise rabbits as pets.
[08:35] <GhostFreeman> btw thanks again stefg
[08:35] <gerhard> fredzer, i had fglrx
[08:35] <SrRaven> even though I don't seem like it,I actually know myself around a PC,with windows at least
[08:35] <georgy_> Conqueror: yep
[08:35] <czer323> gerhard> country, simply being the farming areas
[08:35] <SrRaven> in Linux,im like a whale on sand
[08:35] <chuckyp> Somniis, I know but he can't grasp deleting the old partiton to maek the space
[08:35] <fredzer> ok
[08:35] <gerhard> czer323, in ours they do! its ugly isnt it??
[08:35] <Lard-O-Lad> is there a workaround for the flashplugin-nonfree?
[08:36] <DShepherd> is there an issue with the latest kernel ( 2.6.17) and the xserver server? my X refuses to start but with the 2.6.15 kernel it works fine
[08:36] <chuckyp> SrRaven, aparently not if you can't understand the partitoning issue.
[08:36] <Conqueror> georgy_, I guess I'll have to go back to Dapper...
[08:36] <fredzer> and whats that?
[08:36] <SrRaven> chuckyp trust me,I did nothing stupid wrong
[08:36] <chuckyp> SrRaven, YOU NEED TO DELETE THE OLD F"D UP WINDOWS PARTION AND THEN INSTALL WINDOWS TO THE FREE SPACE
[08:36] <soon> Im having ACPI suspend problems - anyone hot in that area?
[08:36] <SrRaven> Dude I diiiiiid
[08:36] <stefg> DShepherd: ati or nvidia-graphics ?
[08:36] <georgy_> Conqueror: you try : sudo ifdown eth0 ?
[08:36] <chuckyp> ;ljk q vtoj'rai[t[ijt ij;t wtq
[08:36] <chuckyp> ae l;kh f h;lawe;fg ;nkla;k g laE FW;
[08:36] <gerhard> fredzer, youll find that in some wiki or guide
[08:36] <chuckyp> i GIVE UP
[08:36] <shrimphead> hey guys & gals
[08:36] <fredzer> ok
[08:36] <fredzer> thanks
[08:36] <georgy_> Conqueror : sudo ifup eth0
[08:36] <Somniis> SrRaven: erase your entire hd :-)
[08:36] <czer323> gerhard> That's very funny to me. ;)  I'd love to have a rabbit for dinner.  That'd be great.  I think it'd be pretty tough meat though, like a deer.
[08:36] <sureshot> no need to yell
[08:36] <gerhard> fredzer, no prob, I hope it helps you
[08:36] <Conqueror> georgy_, yep. and dhclient too.
[08:36] <shrimphead> anyone know why apt-get build-dep mplayer won't work?
[08:37] <shrimphead> i have source repos enabled
[08:37] <georgy_> ColdFyre, : and in lsmod ?
[08:37] <fredzer> do i need to comile it?
[08:37] <fredzer> compile*
[08:37] <gerhard> czer323, the poor rabbits, there are no laws for them, how they must live in their cages! i guess they live a very bad life before they are killed!
[08:37] <jrib> shrimphead: what error do you get?
[08:37] <SrRaven> 1) Windows fcked up 2) I reboot 3) doesn't work 4) I use archos to recover a backup from August 12th,says corrupt image 5) I get windows CD and try to install it into the same Empty Partition (which I formated) before 6) gives me "Invalid Partition Structure" error and hangs itself up
[08:38] <shrimphead> E: Unable to find a source package for mplayer
[08:38] <Conqueror> georgy_, thanks a lot, pal.
[08:38] <georgy_> Conqueror ; np
[08:38] <czer323> gerhard> well, it'd like chickens I'd guess.  Did you know there are more chickens than humans in the world?  They outnumber us 1:1.25
[08:38] <jrib> shrimphead: pastebin your sources.list
[08:38] <fredzer> how do i build it ?
[08:38] <shrimphead> pastebin?
[08:38] <fredzer> im crap at that
[08:38] <sureshot> srraven what kind of drive is it
[08:38] <soon> Im having ACPI suspend problems - anyone hot in that area?
[08:38] <jrib> ubotu: tell shrimphead about pastebin
[08:38] <georgy_> !pastebin
[08:38] <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)
[08:39] <SrRaven> Ehm you mean what kinda hd?
[08:39] <Somniis> ubotu: ubotu
[08:39] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage
[08:39] <gerhard> czer323, lol, but it is not surprising to me, if you see the giant chicken farms where the meat units "live"
[08:39] <Somniis> ubotu: love
[08:39] <sureshot> srraven namebrand of drive
[08:39] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about love - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:39] <stefg> !botabuse
[08:39] <ubotu> Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops
[08:39] <chuckyp> sureshot, don't bother
[08:39] <SrRaven> ehm sec i'll check
[08:39] <shrimphead> thx for the info, i'll post it now
[08:39] <SrRaven> lol chucky
[08:39] <Conqueror> somebody testing Edgy Knot 3 here?
[08:39] <optimusprime> how do you install a printer?
[08:39] <SrRaven> if you think im hopeless,than at least tell me what exactly I did wrong
[08:39] <stefg> !edgy
[08:39] <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
[08:40] <jrib> optimusprime: system > administration > printing
[08:40] <jrib> ubotu: tell optimusprime about printing
[08:40] <chuckyp> sureshot, he's just trolling around.  After he's driven you insane asking two million questions you will see
[08:40] <czer323> gerhard> yeah, I live in a farm land area, so I was raised near chicken/cow/pig farms.
[08:40] <SrRaven> lol
[08:40] <georgy_> optimusprime : gnome-cups-manager
[08:40] <chuckyp> SrRaven, I speak only the truth
[08:40] <shrimphead> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24796
[08:40] <wols> SrRaven: short version: you behaved like a perfect idiot
[08:40] <SrRaven> sorry....
[08:40] <sureshot> if it is a maxtor or wd they have utilities that will low level it and then it will work fine.. that is all i have to say or know lol
[08:41] <SrRaven> nah a seagate
[08:41] <chuckyp> sureshot, he can't format it because he needs his 75gig data partion
[08:41] <optimusprime> yeah that's what I can't find....gnome-cups-manager
[08:41] <SrRaven> Im sorry if I behave like a idiot
[08:41] <wols> SrRaven: so at what point in your sage are you now?
[08:41] <wols> sureshot: ALL manufacturers have such software
[08:41] <SrRaven> in my what?
[08:41] <chuckyp> wols, HE CAN"T LOW LEVEL FORMAT
[08:42] <optimusprime> I've already installed a driver and I tried that sys>admin>printers
[08:42] <sig_> what link should I look at to get repo's like java mp3 etc.???
[08:42] <wols> chuckyp: I didn't talk to SrRaven but sureshot
[08:42] <jrib> shrimphead: you don't have deb-src for dapper multiverse
[08:42] <kjm> !java >sig_
[08:42] <wols> !java
[08:42] <ubotu> 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
[08:42] <optimusprime> but it's not working
[08:42] <SrRaven> oh....
[08:42] <SrRaven> Well chuckyp how do I low level format?
[08:42] <Luci3n> how can i config my sound card
[08:42] <georgy_> optimusprime: what for a printer ?
[08:42] <stefg> !sound
[08:42] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure alsa is selected by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (Alsa Mixer). If you are still having problems with sound, then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems
[08:42] <shrimphead> d'oh you're right. thx jrib
[08:42] <chuckyp> SrRaven, it will get rid of your 75gig partition
[08:43] <optimusprime> it's a dell
[08:43] <jrib> shrimphead: np
[08:43] <SrRaven> meh
[08:43] <optimusprime> dell A920
[08:43] <DShepherd> is there an issue with the latest kernel ( 2.6.17) and the xserver server? my X refuses to start but with the 2.6.15 kernel it works fine
[08:43] <gerhard> czer323, are you for the democrats or the republicans?
[08:43] <georgy_> optimusprime : not rcognize
[08:43] <optimusprime> I've already found some online tutorials for the printer..
[08:43] <wols> SrRaven: you have 1.2GB free on your ubuntu partition right? why can't you "apt-get dist-upgrade"?
[08:43] <chuckyp> SrRaven, I still don't understand what you are trying to accomplish.  You can't fix windows because you formatted.  You would have to reinstall.  Then you started going off on tangents.
[08:43] <sureshot> thanks wol i wil look up other manufactures and get that software i collect utilities like that.. like maxblast and such
[08:44] <czer323> gerhard> I don't really get involved with politics.  Let the old people worry about those things. ;)  I'm only 24.
[08:44] <wols> sureshot: get the ultimate boot cd (google it)
[08:44] <SrRaven> ok chuckyp,by Fix I rather meant to let it actually install,sorry for the bad words
[08:44] <stefg> !offtopic
[08:44] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[08:44] <SrRaven> because as I said,whenever I tried to reinstall windows it gave me the "invalid partition structure" thing
[08:44] <chuckyp> SrRaven, well if you have the cd and you boot to it.  Then you should be able to install unless for some jacked reason you have the only windows cd that can see a linux install.
[08:44] <sureshot> what is the ultimate boot cd (name if i may ask ) wols
[08:44] <ubuntu> help
[08:45] <czer323> SrRaven> If you were interested, here's the link for the seagate tool disk.  http://www.seagate.com/support/seatools/
[08:45] <chuckyp> SrRaven, did you let windows create the partiton?
[08:45] <SrRaven> Yes
[08:45] <chuckyp> SrRaven, or did you create it?
[08:45] <ubuntu> join #turbo
[08:45] <nick_> does anyone know why i get "The module Display could not be loaded" when i go to System Settings > Display
[08:45] <gerhard> czer323, that would be not a good statement in our country, because then theyd all say, that the national socialists would raise, because fewer people would vote for the "usual" parites
[08:45] <georgy_> optimusprime : i watch on linuxprinting.org; look bad
[08:45] <SrRaven> First I just formatted the Win partition
[08:45] <chuckyp> SrRaven, which OS was installed first on the computer windows or linux?
[08:45] <SrRaven> and tried to do a new fresh clean install
[08:45] <factorx_> Is there any possibility to let the ubuntu live CD detect my apple bluetooth keyboard? I'm trying to use the mac ppc version of ubuntu
[08:45] <SrRaven> Windows
[08:45] <chuckyp> SrRaven, I dunno bad cd then
[08:46] <SrRaven> I tried two cds
[08:46] <chuckyp> SrRaven, well don't know what to tell you but I can install xp to a formated partiton just fine.
[08:46] <czer323> gerhard> I honestly don't get into politics because it splits people.  Just like religion.  You're either one of them, or us.  And that's why I avoid it.
[08:46] <chuckyp> SrRaven, what did you format the partiton with?
[08:46] <SrRaven> yeh thats what I was trying to tell ya
[08:46] <SrRaven> the win setup tool
[08:47] <SrRaven> that gave me error,tried partition magic
[08:47] <SrRaven> same error
[08:47] <chuckyp> SrRaven, did you google for the error?
[08:47] <gerhard> czer323, yes I understand you, and I think its not that big difference
[08:47] <wols> chuckyp: the partition structure has nothing to do with partitions. it's a busted partition table
[08:47] <nils_> if my pc locks up with kernel panic every time i try to use the dapper live cd, what can i do ?
[08:47] <yaman> do any one know what is the command to make my laptop do the standby mode?
[08:47] <SrRaven> Yeh but nothing really helped
[08:47] <SrRaven> wols you got a clue about such stuff ?
[08:47] <stefg> czer323, gerhard please take that to #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:47] <gerhard> czer323, i think the codecs still dont work
[08:47] <gerhard> sry stefg
[08:48] <chuckyp> wols, I tried that earlier to but if you can in to it go right ahead.
[08:48] <SrRaven> what did you try earlier ?
[08:48] <wols> SrRaven: I have, but I dunno if it can be fixed over irc
[08:48] <czer323> nils_> try to reduce the amount of devices you've got connected to the system.  USB devices, etc.  That's the only thing I'd probably suggest.
[08:48] <SrRaven> Only thing I read was "format everything"
[08:48] <czer323> gerhard> hm...  What are you trying them in?
[08:48] <gerhard> totem
[08:48] <gerhard> vlc
[08:48] <gerhard> mplayer
[08:48] <yaman> exit
[08:48] <wols> SrRaven: and I'm not inclined to help you since I have asked you sevreal questions over the hours which you never answered. so why should I bother
[08:49] <nils_> czer323: how can i be sure it is not the cd ? use "check disc" ?
[08:49] <SrRaven> you did ?
[08:49] <SrRaven> sorry
[08:49] <stefg> gerhard: are you positive that it's a codec problem, not something like muted sound, or speakers switched off?
[08:50] <SrRaven> So yeah,i really didn't ignore you or something,but I just didn't read what you said I guess.
[08:50] <gerhard> stefg, yes, because I should have images, its a wmv file
[08:50] <czer323> nils_> sure, you could go back and verify the disk.  I've heard of some people always burning the disk at 4x or slower just to make sure it's a good burn, so yeah.  GO back and check the disk, if it has problems burn slower.
[08:50] <stefg> gerhard: wmv isn't mp3...
[08:50] <Heavens-Cloud> Hey
[08:50] <stefg> !codecs
[08:50] <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
[08:50] <czer323> gerhard> does the player give an error when playing it?  try running the player from terminal, and look for any output.
[08:51] <Heavens-Cloud> I got a question here, does Ubuntu have to be installed on a primary partition?
[08:51] <gerhard> stefg, what do you mean? of course its not mp3
[08:51] <bdesham> does anyone know whether ubuntu works on intel macs with boot camp?
[08:51] <DShepherd> stefg: nvidia
[08:51] <wols> SrRaven: other people asked many questions too like chuckyp, but you ignored them too. which basically means: it's almost impossible to help you since you doN#t really want help
[08:51] <georgy_> Heavens-Cloud,  : no
[08:51] <gerhard> ** Message: don't know how to handle video/x-wmv, wmvversion=(int)3, framerate=(fraction)25/1, width=(int)480, height=(int)360, codec_data=(buffer)4ea11a01
[08:51] <wols> or at least don't act like you'd want it
[08:52] <Heavens-Cloud> it can be installed on a logical then?
[08:52] <gerhard> czer323, see? its up there
[08:52] <nils_> !kernel panic
[08:52] <nemik> so how could i tie or keybind a certain un-used keyboard key to open up gvim?
[08:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kernel panic - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:52] <georgy_> Heavens-Cloud, : yes
[08:52] <linuxboy> does anybody have any tips for writing the LPI 199 (Ubuntu) exam?
[08:52] <Heavens-Cloud> thanks all.
[08:52] <Paddy_EIRE> He guys, have any of you tried this it really rocks "GNOME Main Menu"
[08:52] <SrRaven> sorry
[08:52] <nils_> czer323: i got it (and 50 more via shipit)
[08:52] <chuckyp> Paddy_EIRE, tried what?
[08:52] <SrRaven> I guess I will try to install Windows again later and if that doesn't work I'm pretty much bummed anyway
[08:52] <Paddy_EIRE> "GNOME Main Menu"
[08:53] <stefg> DShepherd: new kernel needs a new nvidia-kernel module :-) there is no 'restricted-modules' for your homebrew kernel, so you've got to get the installer pack from nvidia.com to get your D back
[08:53] <stefg> *3D
[08:53] <DShepherd> stefg: there will be one soon right?
[08:53] <stefg> DShepherd: didn't you build your own kernel?
[08:53] <DShepherd> stefg: my homebrew? what do you mean by homebrew?
[08:54] <DShepherd> stefg: nope
[08:54] <czer323> nils_> well, then i'd expect the disk to be fine.  You tried another disk?  So, if it's having the same problem, then it's probably your system.  Try removing extra devices.  USB, etc.
[08:54] <sig_> E: Invalid operation sun-java5-bin

[08:55] <czer323> gerhard> i'm searching google with that error message.  I might have found a few things.
[08:55] <chuckyp> Paddy_EIRE, thats pretty cool is that a package?
[08:55] <stefg> DShepherd: 2.6.17 is in _edgy_ Dapper has 2,6,15
[08:55] <Paddy_EIRE> chuckyp: yeah and it very very functional
[08:55] <DShepherd> stefg: hmmm.. i must be saying the wrong name..i am going to check
[08:55] <fredzer>  gerhard> how i make the  flgrx file?
[08:56] <stefg> DShepherd: type 'uname -r' that will tell your kernels version
[08:56] <gerhard> i dont know exactly
[08:56] <fredzer> oh
[08:56] <fredzer> well how did u do urs?
[08:56] <DShepherd> stefg: that only tells me the version that I am booted into right?
[08:56] <spedan1> how many programs of "MultichatProtocol" do they know (for GNOME Desktop)???
[08:56] <stefg> DShepherd: right
[08:57] <SrRaven> im outta here,bye sorry for annoying all of you

[08:59] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[08:59] <chuckyp> Paddy_EIRE, familar with those just not that menu thats pretty nice.  I guess thats what gnome is trying to go to anyways
[08:59] <kjm> !samba
[08:59] <ubotu> samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT

[09:00] <DShepherd> stefg:  linux-image-2.6.15-27-386 -- sorry.. but i dont seem to have the headers installed.. that is important right?
[09:00] <kjm> thanks georgy_ - shoulda used google instead......:)
[09:00] <Paddy_EIRE> chuckyp: yeah, although I still love the simplicity of gnome in its current state... I guess these things add great visual appeal and still remain lightweight and functional
[09:00] <wols> DShepherd: if you want to compile a new nvidia module: yes
[09:01] <sig_> I'm looking at the help on adding repo's and it says to add  /ubuntu dapper universe multiverse by uncommenting the #.... I don't even have those to uncomment...
[09:01] <stefg> DShepherd: so what is this? Dapper, Edgy or some bastardized version? What tells 'cat /etc/issue' ?
[09:01] <DShepherd> stefg: Dapper
[09:01] <DShepherd> wols: ok
[09:01] <sig_> and when I add them so that I can get java-sun5-bin it says E: error blah blah
[09:01] <stefg> DShepherd: positivley not
[09:02] <DShepherd> stefg: positively not what?
[09:02] <stefg> DShepherd: this is not clean dapper
[09:02] <georgy_> sig: do it synaptic
[09:02] <DShepherd> stefg: why do you say so?
[09:02] <stefg> DShepherd: because Dapper has 2.6.15
[09:03] <nick_> when i shut down, i get a hard lock before the shutdown screen starts doing stuff, any ideas?
[09:03] <sig_> georgy_, no
[09:03] <sig_> I do everything via command line
[09:03] <DShepherd> stefg: right.. i said i gave you the wrong info on the kernel version..
[09:03] <sig_> and I'm on the command line page
[09:03] <DShepherd> its actual..
[09:03] <DShepherd> 2.6.15.27
[09:04] <georgy_> sig : here are a complete sources list : http://www.bawet.org/LinuxInstall
[09:04] <georgy_> sig: take the bxlug list
[09:04] <Paddy_EIRE> chuckyp: did you get the menu
[09:04] <stefg> DShepherd: ah, ok... then 'sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` nvidia-glx && sudo nvidia-glx-config enable' then ctrl-alt-backspace to restart X
[09:05] <chuckyp> Paddy_EIRE, not yet i'll check it out later
[09:05] <DShepherd> stefg: ok
[09:05] <sig_> georgy_, thanks too bad it's not in english :)
[09:05] <georgy_> sig : just the same
[09:06] <sig_> georgy_, yeah but all international servers
[09:06] <sig_> not the fastest for me

[09:07] <mkquist> ubuntu - have u tried the super grub disc?
[09:07] <rpedro__> !grub

[09:07] <marshall> anybody here use rhythmbox?
[09:08] <marshall> does anybody know how to get albumart and plugins and stuff for rhythmbox?
[09:08] <neoncode> Ahh... thankyou rpedro__

[09:09] <rollinchrome> how do I grep my entire system?  grep -r string * ???
[09:10] <pennypacker> just use xmms
[09:10] <marshall> stefg: it doesnt even have random playback
[09:10] <eyequeue> rollinchrome, start at /
[09:10] <GhostFreeman> is it possible to use 32 bit color on an ATI card?
[09:10] <rollinchrome> eyequeue, yeah, cd / then grep -r string * ??
[09:10] <fredzer> i have a ATI Radeon Xpress 200 inbuilt GPU and my res is stuck at 640*480 ..... what can i do to get it bigger, i cant change res cos 640*480 is the only one i can pick :S    help. please
[09:10] <stefg> marshall: BS :-)... last.fm integration, adaptive random playback... you name it
[09:11] <eyequeue> rollinchrome, or grep -r string /
[09:11] <BadRabbit320> !grep
[09:11] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via applications -> accessories -> terminal (gnome) or kmenu -> system -> konsole (kde). Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[09:11] <eyequeue> rollinchrome, pipe it to less,  grep -r string / | less
[09:11] <rollinchrome> eyequeue, yeah okay, it's not appropriate to use * for a directory anyway is it?
[09:11] <marshall> stefg: it doesnt write id3 tags properly and has a very ugly icon
[09:11] <rollinchrome> eyequeue, piping to less just makes it more readable?
[09:12] <marshall> stefg: poor podcast support and radio is garbage
[09:12] <eyequeue> rollinchrome, if in /, it will fees the output of "ls /" to grep, and will work just fine, heh

[09:21] <Iam8up> can anyone tell me where the hostname conf file is?
[09:21] <dgl> Hi, I am having troubles when my screensaver comes up. It does not accept my password.
[09:22] <sureshot> jack_sparrow is it possible to cluster 6 or 7 pc together with network cards to use as one linux computer
[09:22] <Iam8up> dgl - change your password, go to the terminal and type: passwd
[09:22] <hkai1> noone here with a prism card?
[09:22] <dgl> Iam8up: why do I have to change?
[09:22] <hkai1> e.g. the senao or something similar?
[09:22] <Iam8up> dgl - overwrite it
[09:22] <dgl> Iam8up: it works, I know... I just doesnt work with screensaver, why?
[09:22] <Jack_Sparrow> sureshot: Do you mean build a small network with 6  computers and ssh into them or ?
[09:23] <rnz`WORK> (breaking news)(ap/reuters) - Iran has launched a nuclear missile into Tel Aviv causing widescale devastation.  Details Soon.
[09:23] <Intangir> dgl: does it tell you wrong password? or does it accept it, and then restart the screensaver again?
[09:23] <GSSA559> Is there a way to remote desktop from ubuntu to a windows xp machine without installing extra software on the windows machine?
[09:23] <Iam8up> dgl - i'm saying overwrite the password with your current password
[09:23] <pennypacker> =()
[09:23] <dgl> Intangir: it tell me wrong password
[09:23] <Iam8up> GSSA559 - yes, ubuntu has an RDC client by default
[09:23] <dgl> Iam8up: I belive you, I just want to know, why?
[09:23] <Intangir> dgl: you might just try setting the password again then.. something isnt right, or also make sure your not using caps log
[09:23] <Intangir> lock..
[09:23] <Intangir> GSSA559: no
[09:23] <Iam8up> dgl - bad hash?
[09:23] <sureshot> i would like take several computers hook them together and use them as one multi cpu computer

[09:24] <TheGateKeeper> evening all
[09:24] <Intangir> GSSA559: ubuntu is ready by default, windows isnt

[09:25] <Blob> HI all - I'm wondering why the recommended updates from update-manager differ (sometimes wildly) from the CLI aptitude install command.  Anyone with any ideas?
[09:25] <jrib> Blob: aptitude installs recommended packages as well
[09:25] <Iam8up> hostname
[09:26] <dgl> Iam8up: it does not work
[09:26] <Iam8up> dgl - restart X (control/alt/backspace)
[09:26] <variant> lo all, I have some swedish music copied over from a windows installation but the swedish characters are appearing as either # or ? depending on what desktop im on (xfce/kde) anyone know how i can fix this? I have full UTF-8 unicode support
[09:26] <dgl> Iam8up: does I need to restart X to sucessfully change my password?
[09:26] <sureshot> jack_sparrow it would help if i spell it correct please try again
[09:26] <variant> dgl: no
[09:27] <Jack_Sparrow> got it
[09:27] <dgl> variant: so?
[09:27] <Iam8up> dgl - no, but it can't hurt
[09:27] <Blob> jrib, right, but today, for example, the update manager wanted to update firefox, aptitude didn't.  Aptitude also wants to uninstall a bunch of stuff that I use.  I just don't get it
[09:27] <variant> dgl: so what?
[09:27] <Intangir> dgl you can switch to another VT to change your password
[09:27] <Intangir> pres Ctl-Alt-F1
[09:27] <variant> dgl: change your passwod in a terminal with the passwd command
[09:27] <dgl> Intangir: I killed my gnome-screensver
[09:27] <Iam8up> dgl - control/alt/f7 is X btw
[09:27] <dgl> variant: I ve done it
[09:27] <variant> dgl: you dont need to logout again, it would be totaly pointless
[09:27] <Intangir> or you can kill it, good idea
[09:28] <iian> sigh~
[09:28] <dgl> variant: My password just dont work with gnome-screensaver!
[09:28] <dgl> variant: It is driving me crazy
[09:28] <Intangir> hrm thats really weird
[09:28] <BIRDSIX> Does anyone know any good live cds?
[09:29] <Intangir> its set up to work fine by default
[09:29] <variant> dgl: very odd, dgl you are running the screensaver as the same user?
[09:29] <levander`> Didn't edubuntu used to ship with some gnome based typing tutor software?
[09:29] <variant> BIRDSIX: slax.org is fantastic
[09:29] <Intangir> BIRDSIX: ubuntu's install disk is a live CD now
[09:29] <variant> levander`: ktouch, yeah its very good
[09:29] <Nrbelex> Hi, I want to run an SSH server to run a tunnel with PuTTY from a Windows computer - is there anything I need to do besides installing openssh-server ?
[09:29] <BIRDSIX> variant: Thank you.
[09:29] <dgl> variant: I dont know, I am going to see it
[09:29] <levander`> variant: that's a KDE app
[09:29] <variant> BIRDSIX: slax is one of the fastest live cd's there is
[09:29] <variant> levander`: yeah it is
[09:30] <toxic__> Is there a reference to what colors in .Xdefaults do? (ie aterm.color[1-15] =#ffffff), or is there another way to define colors?
[09:30] <variant> levander`: oh, sorry i didnt see you say gnome based
[09:30] <BIRDSIX> variant: Is back-track any good?
[09:30] <TheGateKeeper> BIRDSIX: take your pick: http://www.frozentech.com/content/livecd.php
[09:30] <levander`> variant: didn't originally it ship with a gnome based app?
[09:30] <hkai1> !networkmanager
[09:30] <ubotu> networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager
[09:30] <variant> BIRDSIX: never tried it, i know that slax is one of the fastest i have ever used though
[09:30] <variant> BIRDSIX: you can make a live cd from whatever installation you have allready (ubuntu or whatever) with the same scripts used to make slax.. its easy
[09:30] <levander> variant: you know if ktouch support teaching dvorak keyboards?
[09:31] <variant> levander: i have never heard of a gnome one
[09:31] <tau> hello, can anyone tell me how I can upgrade mplayer to version 1.0pre8 (to run on dapper)?  The only official packages appear to be for edgy, which hasn't even been released yet?!  any ideas?
[09:31] <variant> levander: yes it does
[09:31] <levander> variant: or, if it even matters what kind of keyboard you use?
[09:31] <stefg> guys, #ubuntu-offtopic is a really nice channel, too
[09:31] <levander> variant: oh, great, thanks for info
[09:31] <dgl> variant: Yes, it is
[09:31] <Intangir> variant: how do you make your own live CD?
[09:31] <aaztechcln> need advise, ubuntu 6.06.1 server with software raid
[09:31] <kjm> grrrrrr . . . I have discovered the source of my samba woes.  Everytime I boot - DNS settings are rest.  I'm on a static network, with a manually entered DNS server name . . . how can I "lock" the DNS settings?
[09:31] <variant> tau: you could try the backports or prefereably compile the source. its easy
[09:31] <Nrbelex> Anyone...? I want to run an SSH server to run a tunnel with PuTTY from a Windows computer - is there anything I need to do besides installing openssh-server ?
[09:31] <levander> variant: i've been looking, i don't think there's a gnome typing tutor either, thanks for verifying
[09:31] <tau> variant: where do I find backports?
[09:31] <variant> Intangir: use the scripts from linux-live.org
[09:31] <stephans> does ubuntu server have apache set to recycle every couple of days???
[09:32] <variant> tau: its an ubuntu repository
[09:32] <aaztechcln> Nrbelex: you just need the openssh server, tunneling is built in
[09:32] <BIRDSIX> variant: So its possible to make a windows os based live cd?
[09:32] <variant> tau: you should prefer compiling the source its much easyer and quite fast with mplayer
[09:32] <variant> BIRDSIX: not iwth linux-live scripts
[09:32] <aaztechcln> my new ubuntu based server, after a fresh install won't boot off a raid1 partition
[09:32] <Intangir> can you set up your user exactly how you like it and save that to the Live CD?
[09:32] <variant> aaztechcln: what is the symptoms?
[09:32] <aaztechcln> it fails with a grub error.  anyone else experienced this?
[09:32] <variant> Intangir: yes, exactly
[09:32] <tau> variant: compiling source huh?  hmmm..
[09:32] <Intangir> sweet
[09:33] <variant> Intangir: all the software you like, you can make dvd
[09:33] <Nrbelex> aaztechcln, once I have a terminal open via PuTTY, is there any authentication I'll need to go through?
[09:33] <Intangir> im gonna make a live CD of Xgl Ubuntu with my favorite settings ;)
[09:33] <TheGateKeeper> Nrbelex: have you had a look at the wiki?
[09:33] <DanLhamon> Hi ppl, may I ask a question?
[09:33] <aaztechcln> posted on the forums.. the response i got wasn't too helpful http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=263216
[09:33] <Nrbelex> TheGateKeeper, Which?
[09:33] <kjm> !ask >DanLhamon
[09:34] <variant> Intangir: cool, thast what its for :)
[09:34] <aaztechcln> Nrbelex: to do tunneling, you must open putty and edit the Tunnel section in the session configuration
[09:34] <DanLhamon> I'm a total newbie.  Downloaded Dapper.  It freezes while booting.  Help!
[09:34] <variant> tau: its easy, i can talk you through it
[09:34] <variant> DanLhamon: at what stage?
[09:34] <DanLhamon> Says configuring some drivers...
[09:34] <Nrbelex> aaztechcln, right, but I don't have to worry about logging in at all, correct?
[09:34] <variant> DanLhamon: which?
[09:34] <wols> DanLhamon: try "acpi=off" and "noapic"
[09:34] <TheGateKeeper> Nrbelex: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=ssh&titlesearch=Titles
[09:34] <tau> variant: would the backport repository be dapper-backports? I've just enabled it in synaptic and reloading...
[09:35] <variant> tau: yep, but the backports can break you system
[09:35] <aaztechcln> Nrbelex: of course you have to login. you must have an account on the server you are sshing to
[09:35] <DanLhamon> wols: got it
[09:35] <variant> tau: seriously, compiling is a peice of cake, i can explain it to you :)
[09:35] <tau> variant: oh?  that's no good :(  well...  I guess I can give compiling a try then..
[09:35] <aaztechcln> man, this software raid thing is killin me!!
[09:35] <tau> variant: do I do an apt-get source mplayer first?
[09:36] <toxic__> Is there a reference to what colors in .Xdefaults do? (ie aterm.color[1-15] =#ffffff), or is there another way to define colors?

[09:36] <mc44> can anyone recommend a good program for downloading podcasts
[09:36] <Nrbelex> aaztechcln, I'm actually thinking of "key based SSH authentication" is that something I have to worry about
[09:36] <DanLhamon> what is the acpi, and what do I lose by having it off?
[09:36] <aaztechcln> and i was gonna go back to using debian, but then I have to figure out how to easily use the new e1000 drivers for this 6015V-T supermicro chassis
[09:36] <Nrbelex> TheGateKeeper, I'll read that, thanks

[09:40] <XaXXon> I have ubuntu 6.06 and am trying to install it onto an empty (no partitions) usb hdd.  It gets up to 15% of making my / partition and says "cannot create file system" and exits.
[09:40] <sarikan> I get a layout that I don't like, the normal one if fine, but I don't know how to set the same layout in xgl
[09:40] <fredzer>  i have a ATI Radeon Xpress 200  inbuilt GPU    and its stuck on 640*480 .. i cant change res cos thats the only opition so im stuck ... any help?
[09:40] <stefg> Sourcemage: shared memory graphics and flaky ram ?
[09:40] <Dev05> sarikan, It works the same way as it does when you run the normal X Server.
[09:40] <XaXXon> I can create a ext3 filesystem on the drive by hand
[09:40] <pennypacker> google for "modeline"
[09:40] <sarikan> Dev05: the layout changes when I use xgl session
[09:40] <Nrbelex> TheGateKeeper, it doesn't seem too bad, I've just never done it before and the public terminals aren't all that reliable - thanks
[09:40] <XaXXon> is there a more.. manual.. way to install ubuntu?
[09:40] <Dev05> sarikan, What Xgl installation guide did you follow?
[09:41] <Sourcemage> stefg: I'm kind of a new, could you elaborate for me in dummy terms? lol
[09:41] <sarikan> Dev05: that's a tough one :)
[09:41] <hkais> i get crazy, noone here who uses hostap under ubuntu?
[09:41] <TheGateKeeper> Nrbelex: good luck :-)
[09:41] <variant> XaXXon: install to hd and copy to the usb with dd, then install and setup grub/lilo :P
[09:41] <kjm> I just added a line to /etc/fstab - is there a simple way to test the mount point without reboot?
[09:41] <Dev05> sarikan, OK, run this commad: gnome-session-properties
[09:41] <variant> XaXXon: dd everything, partition table included
[09:41] <aaztechcln> ubotu: that wiki page is mostly blank.. guess it needs some community tlc ?
[09:41] <stefg> Sourcemage: it's more likely that linux/ubuntu revealed a hardware weakness...
[09:42] <XaXXon> variant: anything resembling a walkthrough on that process?
[09:42] <Sourcemage> hrm ... sure? : o
[09:42] <orbin> kjm: mount -a IIRC
[09:42] <variant> XaXXon: not that i am aware of, probably on google
[09:42] <Sourcemage> I downloaded a few 3d games which run fine? = /
[09:42] <sarikan> Dev05: yep, I got the list on the screen
[09:42] <XaXXon> nod..
[09:42] <Sourcemage> it's a laptop btw
[09:42] <stefg> Sourcemage: what graphics adapter do you have?
[09:42] <Dev05> sarikan, Click on the tab that says "Startup Programs".
[09:42] <fredzer>  i have a ATI Radeon Xpress 200  inbuilt GPU    and its stuck on 640*480 .. i cant change res cos thats the only opition so im stuck ... any help?
[09:42] <sarikan> yep..
[09:42] <pennypacker> google for "modeline"
[09:43] <pennypacker> google for "modeline"
[09:43] <kjm> orbin - thanks.  . .worked like a charm.   Now I just need to fix my DNS woes :P
[09:43] <variant> Sourcemage: sounds like a dodgey gfx card/modeline/somehting else
[09:43] <stefg> !fixres
[09:43] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type this in a console: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  -  To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[09:43] <sarikan> nothing related?
[09:43] <Dev05> sarikan, Is there something related to Xgl/Compiz?
[09:43] <Sourcemage> stefg: I'm really not quite sure, i think it's something like an ATI Radeon 7500 Mobile
[09:43] <sarikan> no , there is not
[09:43] <variant> Sourcemage: lspci as root will tell you
[09:43] <Dev05> sarikan, If you're not sure, just list them all.
[09:43] <sarikan> actually I am using xmodmap /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.tr_q
[09:44] <sarikan> when I start the session with compiz
[09:44] <TheGateKeeper> can you install gizmo on (k)ubuntu folks? http://www.gizmoproject.com/download-linux.html
[09:44] <sarikan> but this layout is slightly worse
[09:44] <sarikan> than the normal one
[09:44] <stefg> Sourcemage: i don't know ATI well, but mobility might indicate, tht it uses shared RAM... that might be the problem
[09:44] <Dev05> sarikan, That's where I wanted to go :) Just delete that.
[09:44] <tau> variant: well, it's let me mark it to upgrade, but it doesn't seem to want to let me apply it ??  I guess it's not going to work :(  ok, I'll start downloading the source
[09:44] <hkais> please help:
[09:44] <hkais> need help for hostap under ubuntu
[09:44] <Sourcemage> ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500] 
[09:44] <sarikan> no no, that's not used at the moment
[09:44] <pennypacker> or look at the monitor timings in the windows driver
[09:44] <variant> TheGateKeeper: yep, either install from a .deb or compile the source
[09:44] <mabus> I already installed ubuntu, but now I want to install windows, with a shared fat partition for books/music ... I know it's reccomended to install windows first, but what's a good way about dealing with the MBR being overwritten? Is it feasible to have a grub boot cd that if I boot off of the cd, it will run my ubuntu?
[09:44] <sarikan> It kicks in when I start my startcompiz script under xgl session
[09:45] <stefg> !ati
[09:45] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:45] <sarikan> now I am using a default system session and keyboard is perfect :)
[09:45] <Sourcemage> Stefg: But why doesn't this issue come up for me on other distributions?
[09:45] <variant> tau: apt-get install build-essential
[09:45] <mabus> And.. how should I set up this partition scheme? With what program? I don't think the XP install cd lets you make FAT partitions.
[09:45] <sarikan> I just want the same one on xgl
[09:45] <TheGateKeeper> variant: thanx, just checking the deb would not break things, might give it a try
[09:45] <variant> tau: that will install what you need to get mplayer compiled
[09:45] <Dev05> sarikan, That's it, you have to comment that line out in the Compiz startup script.
[09:45] <tau> variant: I think I've already done that once before
[09:45] <variant> tau: ok, np
[09:45] <sarikan> but when I do that, I get a terrible layout
[09:46] <sarikan> see, this is a turkish keyboard
[09:46] <stefg> Sourcemage: it might be a simple timing issue... install the ati driver and see if it persist
[09:46] <kjm> mabus : If your drive is fat32 you can install XP on that drive.  The disk format option in XP lets you format to Fat32.  The one thing windows never let you do is partition after install....needed 3rd party stuff for that.
[09:46] <pennypacker> mm fanta
[09:46] <sarikan> and keys are mapped to some different setup :)
[09:46] <sarikan> when I use xmodmap, I am fine, under xgl, but not perfect
[09:46] <Dev05> sarikan, That's weird.
[09:46] <hkais> no one here with hostap and breezy?
[09:46] <kjm> NTFS is better for the Windows system drive.  Make a shared partition that is fat32, and do whatever you want for *nix.
[09:46] <sarikan> for example I can't  type ` under xgl
[09:46] <sarikan> yep I know :)
[09:47] <kjm> you can even mount /home/<user> on the fat32 if you *really* wanted.
[09:47] <tau> variant: ok, downloading now
[09:47] <variant> mabus: you can easily restore the grub bootloaded once windows has wiped it
[09:47] <mabus> kjm: Well I'd probably like to do the partitioning from ubuntu or a third party cd, I don't want to overwrite my ubuntu install. And what about my booting issue? How do I make my ubuntu install boot off of a disc?
[09:47] <Nrbelex> Can I log into the Ubuntu Remote Desktop with TightVNC?
[09:47] <variant> kjm: that would be a very bad idea
[09:47] <Dr_Willis> Nrbelex,  should be able to
[09:47] <kjm> variant : hence *really*
[09:47] <mabus> variant: How?
[09:47] <orbin> hkais: searched the forum?
[09:47] <sarikan> Oh whatever, thanks anyvay Dev05
[09:47] <TheGateKeeper> Nrbelex: yes if ssh in
[09:47] <sarikan> I meant anyway :)
[09:47] <sarikan> I'll figure it out somehow
[09:47] <kjm> fat32 is not journaled . . . and data corruption etc. is likely.
[09:47] <hkais> orbin: i asked google...
[09:48] <Dev05> sarikan, Let me check what layouts are available...
[09:48] <orbin> hkais: try the official forum
[09:48] <mabus> kjm: I'd rather have some sort of /fat32 folder accessible on windows, and have it as a H: drive or similar on windows.
[09:48] <variant> mabus: sorry, i am at work, back in five (use a live cd and run grub-install /dev/<diskdrive to install to>
[09:48] <mabus> kjm: or rather, the /fat32 folder available on ubuntu
[09:48] <Dev05> sarikan, There's tr_q and tr_f. Did you try both?
[09:49] <kjm> mabus - that is the safer process.
[09:49] <variant> tau: i am at work, back in five
[09:49] <sarikan> I use q
[09:49] <tau> variant: ok
[09:49] <Dev05> sarikan, What about f?
[09:49] <sarikan> f is a different one , which I can't use :)
[09:49] <TheGateKeeper> Nrbelex: you might want to take a look at freeNX as vnc is slow
[09:49] <kjm> My setup (at home) is 10 GB Windows, 50 GB fat32 for shared.....70 GB for Ubuntu (/, /home etc).
[09:49] <sarikan> it'S the same layout with old typewriters in Turkey :)
[09:50] <sarikan> xmodmap.tr_q is pretty close to this one
[09:50] <sarikan> but some chars are missing or at differnet keys
[09:50] <mabus> kjm: So can I resize my partitions from ubuntu? I'd like a 50gb windows, 50gb ubuntu, and 60gb shared.
[09:50] <sarikan> a small annoyance
[09:50] <Dev05> sarikan, Well, you can hack down on it :)
[09:50] <BIRDSIX> Is their any way I can resize my partitions using a command?
[09:50] <kjm> mabus : Yes - using gparted.
[09:50] <jader> Hello, can i use the ubuntu installed in one pc into another diferent one without reinstalling? One is on a athlon64 kernel k7, and other system is a athlonxp
[09:50] <Dev05> sarikan, They're in clear text as far as I know.
[09:50] <sarikan> the weird thing is, what is my layout at he moment :)
[09:50] <sarikan> If only I could learn this
[09:50] <kjm> jader - no....kernel won't work.  One is 64 bit chip, other machine is 32.
[09:51] <spotted> Hello
[09:51] <Dev05> sarikan, That's pretty much simple...
[09:51] <eugman> Hey I want to compile the svn of a package normally available from apt. Is there a way to autmatically take the dependencies of tha tpackage and install any -dev equivalents of them?
[09:51] <spotted> Can anyone tell me how to let amarok reproduce some sounds?
[09:51] <variant> BIRDSIX: parted
[09:51] <Sp4rKy> hi
[09:51] <jader> kjm sorry, ubuntu installed have kernel -k7, not A64
[09:51] <sarikan> dev05 : how?
[09:51] <spotted> the sound card works, I have installed alsa-oss but I can't hear no sound from amarok
[09:51] <spotted> what's wrong?
[09:51] <spotted> alsamixer works too
[09:52] <jrib> eugman: apt-get build-dep package
[09:52] <Sp4rKy> i would know if i can set latency time to ssh ?
[09:52] <Dev05> sarikan, Are you using the SLAB menu or the normal GNOME one?
[09:52] <sarikan> gnome
[09:52] <hkais> orbin: google found the same entries, but no help anyway...
[09:52] <hkais> have you an hostap?
[09:52] <jrib> eugman: that gives you the deps for the version in the repos, which may or may not be the same as the svn version
[09:52] <kjm> If they are both 686 machines, it may work.  You'll probably run into hardware problems unless the machines are highly similar.
[09:52] <orbin> hkais: don't know what it is
[09:52] <kyja> hey, is there a bash command to quary kernel version?
[09:52] <Dev05> sarikan, System->Preferences->Keyboard. In the dialog, click on the tab that says "Layouts".
[09:52] <jrib> kyja: uname -r
[09:52] <mabus> kjm: don't I have to unmount /dev/hda1 to resize it? It's busy.
[09:53] <kyja> thx
[09:53] <sarikan> yep, I did that
[09:53] <DaRE> you gotta run boot cd
[09:53] <DaRE> and then do it
[09:53] <DaRE>  i think
[09:53] <hkais> orbin: that is really od, it works under kismet but not under networkmanager...
[09:53] <sarikan> I'Ve got Generic 105-key (Intl) PC
[09:53] <Dev05> sarikan, The only issue is that it won't tell you the xmodmap file name...
[09:53] <sarikan> Dev05 : :) oh god...
[09:53] <kjm> mabus - yes.  You'll at a minimum need to boot off of some live CD so you don't have any system disk mounted
[09:53] <jader> kjm there are not similar, one have VIA chipset and other Nvidia nforce2, I must install in the second pc, isn't it?
[09:53] <variant> tau: back, you download the source?
[09:53] <tau> variant: yup, and unpacked
[09:54] <variant> tau: great, cd to that untarred directory
[09:54] <kjm> jader : Why not just install from the live CD and copy over your home and /var directories?
[09:54] <variant> tau: you do this in a terminal
[09:54] <eugman> Jrib, but I still would have to install the source packages by hand correct? That would just tell me what binary packages would eb needed if I was installing isntead of compiling. Am I correct in this?
[09:54] <mabus> kjm: well it just so happens I randomly have a gparted livecd, awesome. brb
[09:54] <kyja> so I read that 2.6.17-rc2 has a working driver built in for bcm43xx I only have 2.6.15-27-386
[09:54] <UXY36CUQ> hi would anyone know how to make skype reachable over PATH variable?
[09:54] <Sp4rKy> i would know if i can set latency time to ssh ?
[09:54] <tau> variant: ok, i'm there
[09:54] <jrib> eugman: no, build-dep installs the build dependencies.  The packages you need to compile the source package
[09:55] <jader> ok, i'll reinstall, thanks
[09:55] <variant> tau: you want the guy?
[09:55] <eugman> jrib, oh ok. That's great thanks.
[09:55] <Dev05> sarikan, gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:55] <variant> tau: gui*
[09:55] <stefg> jader: i'd install  a 386 kernel and try if you can just copy an image over... maybe it works, you've got nothing to loose
[09:55] <variant> tau: you want the graphical interface or just the command line version?
[09:55] <tau> variant: well, I don't really use the gui, I actually find it kind of gets in the way - I usually only use the command line
[09:55] <variant> tau: bearing in mind that the gui sucks :P
[09:55] <sarikan> Dev05: yes?
[09:55] <tau> variant: hehe :)
[09:55] <variant> tau: fine, just type ./configure
[09:55] <Dev05> sarikan, Did you run that already?
[09:55] <sarikan> Option         "XkbLayout" "tr"
[09:56] <sarikan> hmm. this is interesting, no tr_q , just  "tr"
[09:56] <tau> variant: do I need to worry about downloading extra codecs or something?
[09:56] <variant> tau: that should not take long
[09:56] <famousdoofy`> how do i rename a user?
[09:56] <variant> tau: yeah, thats no issue though.. we can do that after
[09:56] <tau> variant: ok
[09:56] <variant> tau: did the ./configure go ok?
[09:57] <tau> variant: waiting..
[09:57] <jrib> famousdoofy`: man usermod
[09:57] <basvg> hi all ... I recently updated my box... tried to lunach 'lauchcam2' to reinstall the drivers but after pressing 'forward' nothing happens... any clues?
[09:57] <BIRDSIX> When using two different OS such as Linux and Windows do I put the "boot" flag on both of them or take it off both of them so I can choose which OS to run when I boot my computer?
[09:57] <tau> variant: (I only have a 1.2ghz duron :p)
[09:57] <UXY36CUQ> hi would anyone know how to make skype reachable over PATH variable? Any help would be appreciated
[09:57] <XaXXon> variant: I went online and did some searching about my problem with it hanging at 15%.. and they all said "it worked on the third try".. and sure enough, it looks like it's working on the third try
[09:57] <tau> variant: ok it seems to have finished ok
[09:58] <sarikan> Dev05: what do you suggest?
[09:58] <variant> tau: cool, type make
[09:58] <variant> tau: this will take a bit longer
[09:58] <variant> tau: up to 15 minnuits
[09:58] <bilss_> hi
[09:58] <g333k_work> how can I know what version of ubuntu I have installed?
[09:59] <variant> g333k_work: type uname -a in a terminal
[09:59] <bilss_> what is the command line to run a python script called m1n.py is it -s m1n.py?
[09:59] <famousdoofy`> is there a shell command to list out system information? Such as Proc info and RAM?
[09:59] <g333k_work> variant, version of ubuntu, not kernel
[09:59] <rambo3>  !easysource
[09:59] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[09:59] <tau> variant: I seem to be getting a number of warnings about pointer targets missing in signedness or something..  but it's still ploughing through..
[09:59] <jrib> g333k_work: lsb_release -a
[09:59] <variant> tau: yeah dont worry about that
[09:59] <tau> variant: 15 mins to compile?  gee
[09:59] <variant> g333k_work: ah sorry
[10:00] <variant> tau: yeah, be glad its not open office (10 hours +)
[10:00] <variant> :)
[10:00] <jrib> bilss_: what does -s do?
[10:00] <knixtech> How do i cahnge a folder to be owned by apache?
[10:00] <variant> knixtech: chown apache folder
[10:00] <tau> variant: 10 hours!?!? owww
[10:00] <knixtech> or www-data
[10:00] <bilss_> jrib: nothing my error
[10:00] <variant> tau: feel sorry for gentoo users? :)
[10:00] <Dev05> sarikan, Oh, well, somebody else may be able to help you. What would normally happen is, if you comment that xmodmap line out, the normal settings should come up in Xgl. That's what I did.
[10:01] <knixtech> variant, ty
[10:01] <tau> variant: why, don't they have binary packages available for open office?
[10:01] <variant> tau: i installed gentoo on a 386 once, took three weeks :P
[10:01] <silent_scream> which ubuntu used kernel 2.4.x ???
[10:01] <jrib> bilss_: just 'python script.py' or '/path/to/script.py' if it is executable will work
[10:01] <variant> tau: yeah they do, but some poeople like punishment
[10:01] <variant> tau: :P
[10:02] <sofus> ey how can i change the keymap after the install_
[10:02] <sofus> ?
[10:02] <DaRE> can someone help me install windows with a partition onto a ubuntu-onle machine?
[10:02] <bilss_> just run m1n.py on the command line i guess if its in the same directory from which it is being run
[10:02] <Sp4rKy> please, i would know if i can set latency time to ssh ?
[10:02] <Bonaldo2000> Does anyone know what might be wrong when all your mpeg files go out of sync when playing them?
[10:02] <variant> DaRE: ask in #windows maybe
[10:02] <tau> variant: is adding codecs something I can do after it's compiled?
[10:02] <jrib> bilss_: except the current directory isn't in your path probably, so you need to do './script.py'
[10:02] <variant> tau: yeah
[10:02] <rambo3> !locales > sofus
[10:02] <DaRE> meh #windows has windows mofoz
[10:02] <tau> variant: ok
[10:02] <DaRE> im just wondering, does the partiton have to be ntfs?
[10:02] <variant> tau: there might be a few compile time options for codecs but the default should include most
[10:03] <variant> tau: actualy, do you want dvd support?
[10:03] <Dev05> DaRE, It could be NTFS or FAT32.
[10:03] <DaRE> thx
[10:03] <basvg> anyone here with easycam experience?
[10:03] <variant> tau: then you will have to rerun ./configure with --enable-dvd sorry about htat
[10:03] <function1> my sound suddenly died... its not the hardware, i booted back to windows and it works. i didnt change anything.. just was opening a video in a bunch of different player to see which was best.. no more sound
[10:03] <DaRE> ill try fat32, because ntfs didn't work right for some reason
[10:03] <DaRE> pce
[10:03] <bilss_> jrib ok thanks or python script.py
[10:03] <BIRDSIX> function 1
[10:03] <function1> yea
[10:03] <tau> variant: well, I only just did some research an hour or so ago trying to find the best dvd player in linux - it seems xine is the best bet, since it supports dvd menus, and also deinterlacing (unlike ogle)
[10:03] <BIRDSIX> You use windows and linux right?
[10:03] <aaztechcln> dare: you gotta 1) have a ntfs partition ready for winblows, 2) install winblows, 3) re-install grub so you can boot ubuntu again.  You should investigate installing grub onto a floppy prior to any of this
[10:03] <Dev05> DaRE, FAT32 is quite slow for XP... (At least to me).
[10:04] <function1> yes
[10:04] <silent_scream> which ubuntu used kernel 2.4.x ?
[10:04] <BIRDSIX> Function 1, Do I give both windows and linux the boot flag or none to either?
[10:04] <eugman>  * Creating aclocal.m4
[10:04] <eugman> make: aclocal: Command not found
[10:04] <eugman> make: *** [all]  Error 127
[10:04] <eugman> Any ideas?
[10:04] <Bonaldo2000> Does anyone know what might be wrong when all your mpeg files go out of sync when playing them?
[10:04] <UXY36CUQ> Does anyone know how to make skype reachable over PATH variable? Thanks
[10:04] <tau> variant: and mplayer didn't seem to support dvd menus, unless this new version does, I don't know, but it's ok I can live without dvd support
[10:04] <function1> uhh i dont know. i just went through the ubuntu installer, i never had to answer that question
[10:04] <wetduck_> I unstalled some GNU packages and now I finally can see java 1.5.0 running on my terminal, but I still not able to have a javac command. Could someone help on this please?
[10:04] <Dev05> UXY36CUQ, Where's Skype installed?
[10:04] <variant> tau: mplayer also supports menues but its not very great
[10:05] <tau> variant: ok
[10:05] <rambo3> function1: unplugg computer from wall (current) , check cables , connect back
[10:05] <variant> tau: ogle is quite nice but it forces you to watch the damn copyright notice etc which i dont like
[10:05] <Jack_Sparrow> UXY36CUQ:  How did you install Skype?
[10:05] <Dev05> tau, Try totem xine.
[10:05] <UXY36CUQ> it is in /opt/skype/skype
[10:05] <tau> variant: I tried gxine earlier, and it worked like a charm..  even supported my favorite deinterlacer pp=md
[10:06] <UXY36CUQ> Skype was installed over automatix
[10:06] <knixtech> variant, how do i make a folder writeable by the webserver?
[10:06] <variant> tau: cool
[10:06] <function1> rambo3: its a laptop, the only cable is the power, just unplugged it: no sound. plugged back in: no sound.
[10:06] <Jack_Sparrow> UXY36CUQ: Thought so...  Maybe you ought to ask in #Automatix
[10:06] <inxilpro> Anyone know how to change the display drivers on a Ubuntu server installation?  My setup right now cuts off the last two lines of my terminal.
[10:06] <stefg> would be easier to just symlink skype into /usr/bin
[10:06] <Sourcemage> If I install display drivers and they happen to 'screw' things up, how do i revert back to my original configuration?
[10:06] <Dev05> UXY36CUQ, export PATH="/opt/skype/skype/":$PATH.
[10:07] <variant> knixtech: as the apache user do chmod +w foldername
[10:07] <Dev05> UXY36CUQ, Add that to a startup script.
[10:07] <ubuntu1176> has anybody tried arklinux?
[10:07] <knixtech> variant, ty
[10:07] <variant> knixtech: better to use octal ontation but i dont remember the exact codes
[10:07] <tau> variant: one of the reasons I wanted to try this new mplayer are the new deinterlacers they've added
[10:07] <variant> tau: cool
[10:07] <knixtech> lol
[10:07] <rambo3> function1: that was fast. even the battery
[10:07] <Dev05> sarikan, Sorry for not being of more help :(
[10:07] <variant> tau: makes no difference to me on my crappy 15inch laptop screen :)
[10:08] <function1> did you want me to power off the computer? because ive already done that
[10:08] <wols_> knixtech: chmod u+rwx <folder>
[10:08] <knixtech> wols_, ty
[10:08] <tau> variant: you only have a laptop?
[10:09] <Spootnicks> hey folks
[10:09] <knixtech> wols_, how do i make it for user and gourps\
[10:09] <aaztechcln> anybody on here running ubuntu for production servers?
[10:09] <kamui>  how DO you install mplayer now?
[10:09] <aaztechcln> just curious
[10:09] <knixtech> wols_, like chown user.group
[10:10] <kamui> !mplayer
[10:10] <ubotu> mplayer is a media player. Enable multiverse repo and type sudo apt-get install mplayer for more info please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MPlayer  To compile it from source see:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MPlayer/Compile
[10:10] <ubotu> For Codecs try !codecs Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MplayerInstallHowto for installation tips.
[10:10] <Spootnicks> i am looking at purchasing a new notebook
[10:10] <wols_> knixtech: g+rwx
[10:10] <Spootnicks> any suggestions when it comes to a new notebook to run ubuntu?
[10:10] <wols_> or octal 775
[10:10] <knixtech> wols_, ty
[10:10] <Intangir> aaztechcln: i am
[10:10] <variant> tau: yeah, i travel a lot
[10:11] <aaztechcln> Intangir: what brand hardware, and have you gone through a major upgrade ?  ie: breezy->dapper
[10:11] <knixtech> wols_, Your temporary directory '/var/egw_files/' is not writeable by the webserver
[10:11] <tau> variant: ok
[10:11] <wetduck_> Anybody uses Java in here?
[10:11] <Intangir> aaztechcln: our AMD64 machine runs ubuntu dapper
[10:11] <Bird> What command do I type to view and activate possible connections?
[10:11] <wols_> knixtech: under what user runs apache and who owns that dir?
[10:11] <Intangir> we do our 64 builds on it
[10:11] <orbin> Spootnicks: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport ... i've always heard IBMs are good
[10:11] <Intangir> my dev machine is also ubuntu
[10:11] <variant> wetduck_: program or use?
[10:12] <mc44> can anyone recommed a good app for aggregating and downloading podcast feeds?
[10:12] <Dev05> Anyway, I'll now ask my question: I installed the nVidia Beta drivers but now X doesn't load because there's a version mismatch between the Kernel module and the X module. I tried re-installing nvidia-glx and the restricted drivers but it didn't fix it. Any clue?
[10:12] <knixtech> wols_, thats what i want to know ;)
[10:12] <inxilpro> Anyone know how to change the display settings for a ubuntu server installation?
[10:12] <basvg> is there a known problem with easycam/easycam2 and the latest kernel in dapper?
[10:12] <wols_> knixtech: ps aux
[10:12] <kyja> ummm. ok I dl "path-2.6.18" what do I do with it?
[10:12] <wols_> inxilpro: define "display settings" more
[10:12] <ScreaminIke> 2 questions: 1) does #ubuntu ban tor'ed connections? 2) i installed democracy player... it works... pretty ok, but now my default configs keep bringing up mozilla browser in lieu of firefox. can this be ammended?
[10:12] <knixtech> wols_, looks like www-data
[10:12] <tau> variant: hey whaddaya know, it's finished compiling! :)
[10:12] <variant> inxilpro: what do you mean? you have an xserver installed on a server?
[10:12] <inxilpro> wols_, The last line or two of my terminal is cut off :)
[10:12] <variant> tau: cool :)
[10:13] <variant> tau: now become root and run make install
[10:13] <variant> tau: or run sudo make install
[10:13] <Spootnicks> orbin: thank you! does ubuntu (i am new to it) require alot of resources?
[10:13] <variant> tau: this part take a couple of hours
[10:13] <variant> tau: jk :P
[10:13] <inxilpro> I thought it might have to do with display drivers...
[10:13] <inxilpro> But I really don't know
[10:13] <tau> variant: someone a bit further up there gave a link to a page on compiling mplayer, and it mentions on that page using checkinstall
[10:13] <wetduck_> Doesnt matter. I just need ahelp to set it out to be abel to compile code from terminal.
[10:13] <knixtech> wols_, is it chown www-data older?
[10:13] <wols_> inxilpro: stull like this is usually doen either on the monitor or via modeline
[10:13] <Sourcemage> Anyone willing to help a newb find the drivers for his video card? : o
[10:13] <variant> tau: if you like
[10:13] <GhostFreeman> Does Nautilus have a "Click here to open a terminal in this folder" option like the file exploring utility in Xfce?
[10:14] <stefg> !ati
[10:14] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[10:14] <kyja> :(
[10:14] <ScreaminIke> GhostFreeman: no
[10:14] <wols_> knixtech: who owns /var/egw_files? (and is that even in your www root?)
[10:14] <UXY36CUQ> Dev05, sorry for my ignorance startup script is in sessions?
[10:14] <Dr_Willis> GhostFreeman,  you couldmake one using the Nautilus scripts menu
[10:14] <orbin> Spootnicks: i think RAM is more important if you want to run gnome (the default desktop environment) ... i've heard people running it fine on 500Mhz imacs
[10:14] <knixtech> wols_, no it is not in the root, its in /var
[10:14] <wetduck_> variant doesnt matter. I just need a help to compile a code on terminal. Could you try help me?
[10:14] <ScreaminIke> GhostFreeman: but, like Dr_Willis said, you can probably script it
[10:14] <Spootnicks> oh wow...........okay thats kewl
[10:14] <GhostFreeman> hmm
[10:14] <tau> variant: ok, it says I can just use sudo checkinstall instead of sudo make install..  I'll give it a try
[10:14] <stefg> GhostFreeman: not by deafult, but there's add-ons
[10:14] <wols_> knixtech: wwwroot. which is /var/www/ by default
[10:15] <GhostFreeman> where would I get such addons
[10:15] <n0dl> is there a way to stop apt-get upgrade from upgrading certain packages? I tried to place an entry in /etc/defaults/prefrences
[10:15] <Sourcemage> I can't follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto, it says cards for 8500 and above
[10:15] <ScreaminIke> i installed democracy player... it works... pretty ok, but now my default configs keep bringing up mozilla browser in lieu of firefox. can this be ammended?
[10:15] <Sp4rKy> does anyone knows an ssh channel ?
[10:15] <Sp4rKy> ssh support
[10:15] <brkamikaze> Hi, I'm using an "old" breezy cd-rom I have from Canonical... I'd like to know that if I did "sudo sed -i 's@breezy@dapper@g' /etc/apt/sources.list" I would be able to fully update this system to dapper without any trouble.
[10:15] <inxilpro> I'm going to look over https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto , I'll be back.  Thanks for that link.
[10:15] <variant> wetduck_: ok, so you have a java program you want to compile to bytecode?
[10:15] <wols_> wetduck_: find / -name javac
[10:15] <wetduck_> variant, yes.
[10:15] <GhostFreeman> or how do I write a script for Nautilus
[10:15] <aaztechcln> ScreaminIke: did you already look in the gnome-preferences?
[10:15] <stefg> !info nautilus-open-terminal
[10:16] <ubotu> nautilus-open-terminal: open terminal in any folder from Nautilus. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6-0ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 18 kB, installed size 480 kB
[10:16] <ScreaminIke> #openssh is open, Sp4rky
[10:16] <knixtech> wols_, ty
[10:16] <variant> wetduck_: javac --main=filename i think is the correct syntax
[10:16] <physicsnick> hey all
[10:16] <skoenman> hallo
[10:16] <GhostFreeman> shazbot, thanks stefg
[10:16] <skoenman> there people
[10:16] <aaztechcln> ScreaminIke: Preferences->Preferred Applications
[10:16] <physicsnick> question: is it possible to mount a partition automatically only for certain users?
[10:16] <variant> wetduck_: if you have a .jar you want to run thats different
[10:16] <skoenman> as usual im sitting with a problem
[10:16] <ScreaminIke> aaztechcln: already been there. do i have to restart gnome for that to take effect?
[10:16] <physicsnick> basically i want a partition writeable only when i login as myself, not when other users login
[10:17] <physicsnick> any idea how to do that?
[10:17] <GhostFreeman> Do I need to restart Nautilus before I can use it?
[10:17] <wols_> physicsnick: man mount
[10:17] <skoenman> im trying to copy my e107 files from my local maschien to my ubutu server ... thats ok
[10:17] <wols_> uid and gid stuff mainly
[10:17] <physicsnick> *sigh*
[10:17] <skoenman> then when i copy it to the /var/www/ dir
[10:17] <orbin> brkamikaze: should be ok
[10:17] <brkamikaze> orbin, I'll try then
[10:17] <wetduck_> variant, no it's a .java but I javac doesn't work.
[10:17] <skoenman> i can get access to the dirs
[10:17] <aaztechcln> ScreaminIke: no restart required
[10:17] <spotted> How the hell may I reproduce an mp3 with amarok?
[10:17] <orbin> brkamikaze: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DapperUpgrades
[10:17] <skoenman> isnt there a file manager i can use???
[10:17] <wetduck_> variant, 
[10:18] <spotted> I followed some howtows, installed gstreamer0.8-mad but it doesn't work
[10:18] <spotted> :|
[10:18] <Dev05> UXY36CUQ, Yep. First create a simple script with the line I gave you. Always remember #!/bin/bash at the top of it. Then run gnome-session-properties. In the dialogue that appears, select the tab that says "Startup Programs". Then click "Add". Write the path to the script that you just wrote in there. The PATH will always contain the route to Skype right upon login (on GNOME).

[10:18] <wetduck_> variant, bash: javac: command not found
[10:18] <wols_> skoenman: filemanager won't help. your user needs write access to /var/www/. or use sudo
[10:18] <variant> wetduck_: you need to install a java development kit
[10:18] <aaztechcln> ScreaminIke: shouldn't have to, but it couldn't hurt
[10:18] <wols_> wetduck_: I told you what to do
[10:18] <variant> wetduck_: a jdk not a jre
[10:18] <ScreaminIke> well... i've done that... no go...
[10:18] <inxilpro> I have a nvidia card, but the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia are for the graphical UI..  I'm running Ubuntu server, and I just need a basic terminal window (I'm eventually going to unplug the machine and put it in a closet).
[10:18] <ScreaminIke> hrm...
[10:18] <skoenman> i have used sudo but that doesnt help
[10:18] <wetduck_> variant, I did install it.
[10:19] <variant> wetduck_: it doesnt sound like it
[10:19] <ScreaminIke> democracy player depends on mozilla...
[10:19] <wols_> inxilpro: for inside a closet you don't need any nvidia drivers at all
[10:19] <skoenman> the files and folders are there
[10:19] <variant> skoenman: what you trying to do?
[10:19] <tau> variant: well, it seems to have installed!  is that it?
[10:19] <ScreaminIke> what if i reinstall the ubuntu-desktop metapackage...
[10:19] <skoenman> just cant access them
[10:19] <stefg> inxilpro: so what? then waht you have is just fine
[10:19] <wetduck_> java version "1.5.0_06"
[10:19] <wetduck_> Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_06-b05)
[10:19] <wetduck_> Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_06-b05, mixed mode, sharing)
[10:19] <wols_> skoenman: what is the exact error?
[10:19] <wetduck_> variant, sse.
[10:19] <variant> tau: yep, should be able to run mplayer now
[10:19] <wetduck_> variant, see.
[10:19] <skoenman> i just need to change the rights on all the files
[10:19] <aaztechcln> ScreaminIke: what's your preferred application for web browser set to?
[10:19] <wols_> skoenman: and who or what can't access them
[10:19] <tau> variant: trying now..
[10:19] <inxilpro> Except that the last two lines of my terminal is cut off
[10:19] <wols_> skoenman: man chown
[10:20] <variant> wetduck_: thats a runtime environment not a development kit
[10:20] <wols_> skoenman: you don't need to change the rights, you need to change owners
[10:20] <variant> skoenman: chown -R user files
[10:20] <variant> skoenman: chown -R user file
[10:20] <ScreaminIke> Firefox
[10:20] <skoenman> i have come accross a command were you can change the rights but how do i change it to another user???
[10:20] <variant> skoenman: that is recursive
[10:20] <skoenman> hmm k
[10:20] <inxilpro> and I'm ppretty sure it's not the screen
[10:20] <Dev05> inxilpro, That doesn't have nothing to do with X and its nVidia module...
[10:20] <skoenman> k
[10:20] <zaggynl> is there any need to defragment in Linux?
[10:20] <variant> zaggynl: not really
[10:20] <variant> zaggynl: not at all tbh
[10:20] <skoenman> k then another thing how do i create another user???
[10:20] <DiamonD> Hi ppls
[10:21] <stefg> inxilpro: that's a farmebuffer problem, has nothing to do with X... add vga=0x303 or something similar to your boot parameters to get a proper terminal
[10:21] <Bird> How do I burn and .iso to a disk as an image with ubuntu?
[10:21] <wols_> skoenman: man adduser
[10:21] <zaggynl> okay
[10:21] <wetduck_> variant, my lord. I think Ive installed it at all. Could you tell me once more what I have to look for just to certify myself please?
[10:21] <variant> zaggynl: ext3 and reiserfs does online defragmentation
[10:21] <physicsnick> wols_, thanks that works. i set the uid to my user and the permission mask to 0755 i assume?
[10:21] <skoenman> k
[10:21] <skoenman> thanks
[10:21] <zaggynl> variant, cool!
[10:21] <DiamonD> check the VISUAL and MAIL

[10:22] <tau> variant: seems to be working fine..  that was a lot easier than I expected - as you said it would be :)  thanks for your help
[10:22] <variant> wols_: he didnt install it

[10:27] <aaztechcln> DaRE: then choose create partition with the free space from that previous ntfs
[10:27] <DiamonD> don't know
[10:27] <Seveas> DiamonD, yeah, you're not making much sense
[10:27] <m0> Seveas: okay

[10:28] <squidly> has anyone used the vmware server that is on  ubuntu
[10:29] <mabus> I just resized my ext3 partitoin made by the install cd into an ext3, fat32, and ntfs... so before I install windows, is there anything I should do?
[10:29] <aaztechcln> squidly: im using vmware
[10:29] <wols_> Seveas: thank you
[10:29] <Seveas> DiamonD, you're still not making sense -- what exactly are you trying to accomplish?
[10:29] <Dr_Willis> squidly,  i installed the download .tar.gzfrom the vmware site.. dident apt-get installit.
[10:29] <variant> Seveas: that was a bit harsh
[10:29] <skoenman> hmm
[10:29] <squidly> Dr_Willis but it works and install clean?
[10:29] <Jack_Sparrow> mabus: Is the ntfs the first partition on the first drive?
[10:29] <wols_> variant: he was warned
[10:29] <skoenman> squidly you mean run ubuthu on vmware???
[10:29] <m0> Seveas: http://pastebin.co.uk/2013  here it is
[10:29] <silent_scream> is there an ubuntu with 2.4.x kernel?
[10:30] <mabus> Jack_Sparrow: No, like /dev/hda4 or something
[10:30] <Seveas> m0, that explains
[10:30] <m0> My wireless works... but Network MAnagement Gnome says nothing... it says No connection
[10:30] <GhostFreeman> Anyone here running Expocity
[10:30] <Seveas> network-manager ignores interfaces explicitely configured in /etc/network/interfaces
[10:30] <Dr_Willis> squidly,  works fine. i had issuse with it under Edgy however
[10:30] <m0> Seveas: hmm, So I just remove my interfaces and it will show it
[10:31] <Jack_Sparrow> mabus: Windows really really prefers to be on hda1... It can be forced to run just about anywhere, but much easier to put on hda1 then install Ubuntu after that
[10:31] <squidly> Dr_Willis thanks.. Im going to be installing it tonight at home..
[10:31] <squidly> also have you used the Nvidia SLI drivers in linux?
[10:31] <Seveas> m0, only the line with essid needs to be removed/commented out
[10:31] <mabus> Seveas: Is there any formal way to ask you to include something in your repository, or do I just ask you, or do you ignore requests?
[10:31] <Seveas> mabus, you can simply ask in pm
[10:31] <mabus> Jack_Sparrow: much easier to backup all of my data, etc?
[10:31] <Dr_Willis> ive got no need for sli
[10:32] <Jack_Sparrow> mabus: It is something you need to decide for yourself.
[10:32] <ScreaminIke> oh, fooey. can someone please help me set my default browser BACK to firefox?
[10:32] <m0> Seveas: iface eth1 inet dhcp
[10:32] <m0> wireless-essid uOttawa
[10:32] <squidly> ahh ok.. I like sli though.. good for my system ^^
[10:32] <squidly> s/system/games
[10:32] <tarzeau> what day is it?
[10:32] <mabus> Jack_Sparrow: well, define "easier"... how do I do it so it installs on /dev/hda4?
[10:32] <shmulik> I was under the impression that the Atheros wireless chipset in MacBook pros are supported?
[10:32] <Dr_Willis> I dont see much use for SLI. seems its always better to just get a faster/higher end video card.
[10:32] <squidly> tainted_monday
[10:32] <Seveas> shmulik, they are
[10:32] <Jack_Sparrow> mabus: Ask in ##Windows...
[10:32] <shmulik> Seveas: How can I connect to a network?
[10:33] <Rizenine> How do you get more detail on a module? I can lsmod and see the one I want, but how do I get version info and such?
[10:33] <Seveas> !wifi > shmulik
[10:33] <m0> rebooting
[10:33] <squidly> Dr_Willis I treid that.. I actually have found that SLI wroks much better and give me greater performance then a single video card
[10:33] <m0> Thanks Seveas I hope it works
[10:33] <Dr_Willis> squidly,  when it works. :P
[10:33] <wols_> squidly: yes. it works 30-40% better for twice the price
[10:33] <wols_> Dr_Willis: SLI only makes sense at the very high end were there are no better cards
[10:33] <silent_scream> i would like to install ubuntu with a 2.4.x kernel version... how i'm gonna do this?
[10:34] <inxilpro> Thanks guys, adding vga=771 fixed it.
[10:34] <wols_> silent_scream: any special reason for 2.4?
[10:34] <Dr_Willis> wols_,  then ya got to find games and monitors that actually use all the higher power.
[10:34] <squidly> wols_ not really.. I got 2 cards the less then a (high end) and its about 100 less then a high end videocard
[10:34] <wols_> Dr_Willis: you especially need to find a CPU which can use it
[10:34] <Dr_Willis> wols_,  since allmy systems are old..:P its pointless for me to even worry abbout
[10:34] <Spootnicks> hey, what do most of you run ubuntu on? hardware wise that is
[10:35] <silent_scream> wols_, i have a program that only works with 2.2.x 2.4.x kernel
[10:35] <squidly> Dr_Willis ahh lol I have newer systems at home ^^
[10:35] <wols_> silent_scream: which is?
[10:35] <silent_scream> cabletv
[10:35] <variant> silent_scream: you got a specific reason for that?
[10:35] <Dr_Willis> of course since i dont really play games much.. :P
[10:35] <wols_> silent_scream: use an older version of ubuntu with a 2.4 kernel
[10:35] <aaztechcln> Spootnicks: well, im super happy to have just installed server edition on a supermicro 6015V-T
[10:36] <silent_scream> i just wanna know if there is an ubuntu with that kernel wols_
[10:36] <kamui> anyone heard of SMP Dual Core cpus?
[10:36] <kamui> I wonder if its been done yet
[10:36] <silent_scream> wols_, hoary warty breezy ?
[10:36] <aaztechcln> kamui: the 6015V-T supermicro server can do dual Xeon (dual-core)
[10:37] <squidly> ugg supermicro.. what a piece of junk server (IMHO)
[10:37] <silent_scream> which has 2.4.x kernel ?
[10:37] <squidly> why not take a desktop and make it a server?
[10:37] <jdahm> hey everyone
[10:37] <aaztechcln> squidly: naw, it's tits
[10:37] <Seveas> there is no ubuntu 2.4 kernel
[10:37] <Seveas> aaztechcln, watch the language please
[10:37] <jdahm> I have a problem with gnome, my mouse keeps disappearing and reappearing
[10:37] <wols_> silent_scream: warty
[10:37] <jdahm> is there any way to make it stay?
[10:38] <Dr_Willis> i though i saw some sort of 2.4packages when i was looing in synaptic, under edgy.. not sure what they were.
[10:38] <squidly> aaztechcln ive worked with them.. try useing the "raid" on there?
[10:38] <ScreaminIke> i'm really really about ready to cry, here... i have no idea how to fix this browser issue...
[10:38] <silent_scream> wols_, does warty has a 2.4.x kernel ?
[10:38] <froud> Anyone know if the ubuntu dapper alt cd provides a setup option for LAMP as with the Server CD?
[10:38] <wols_> silent_scream: yes
[10:38] <Seveas> froud, it does not
[10:38] <ScreaminIke> froud, no that's the server disk
[10:38] <silent_scream> thnx so muck wols_
[10:38] <aaztechcln> squidly: using software raid-1 on 3 of 'em
[10:38] <aaztechcln> squidly: used to run Debian, probaly gonna switch to Ubuntu server since this is going nicely
[10:39] <froud> Seveas: but alt can be preseeded to install lamp and desktop or server mode
[10:39] <Jack_Sparrow> jdahm: Did you install xgl compiz or use any install scripts?
[10:39] <m0_> Seveas: thanks it worked nicely
[10:39] <kamui> aaztechcln : aah, but nothing consumer level yet?

[10:39] <Seveas> silent_scream, you should not use warty
[10:39] <m0_> Thankx once again Seveas
[10:40] <silent_scream> Seveas, why not?
[10:40] <aaztechcln> squidly: my problem exactly.. tired of purchasing newish hardware and the only option being remaster the install ced
[10:40] <kamui> dual core dual cpu motherboard, not box
[10:40] <Sp4rKy> Seveas: please, do you know if i can set latency for sshd ?
[10:40] <Seveas> silent_scream, it's outdated and unsupported
[10:40] <jdahm> Jack_Sparrow, and I have used synaptic for the most part... a few manual package installations, but for the most part standard
[10:40] <Jack_Sparrow> jdahm: You mean just the livecd install program?
[10:40] <Seveas> Sp4rKy, 'latency'?

[10:41] <LiraNuna> oh
[10:41] <LiraNuna> oopsy
[10:41] <silent_scream> Seveas, i'll use it as a second system
[10:41] <silent_scream> thnx wols_
[10:41] <Seveas> silent_scream, why would you want something from the stone age?
[10:41] <Jack_Sparrow> jdahm: I have only seen a couple of people with that problem all had installed xgl / compiz or run Automatix...
[10:41] <wols_> Seveas: I already asked. to run something called "cabletv"
[10:41] <Seveas> why can't that run on dapper?
[10:42] <wols_> Seveas: needs 2.4 kernel. which I can't understand why. probably a shitty binary only kernel module
[10:42] <silent_scream> Seveas, i already told you. it runs only in 2.2.x and 2.4.x kernel
[10:42] <jdahm> Jack_Sparrow, I was looking into automatix for a while, but I like to keep my laptop as a working workspace
[10:42] <Seveas> silent_scream, wols_ warty does NOT have a 2.4 kernel
[10:42] <wols_> silent_scream: have you tried with a 2.6 kernel?
[10:42] <wols_> Seveas: what then?
[10:42] <Seveas> ALL ubuntu releases have a 2.6 kernel
[10:42] <Jack_Sparrow> jdahm: Good choice...
[10:42] <jdahm> Jack_Sparrow, but this has come on the way a couple times
[10:42] <silent_scream> wols_, yes doesn't work
[10:43] <Jack_Sparrow> jdahm: No particular rhyme or reason/pattern to it?
[10:43] <jdahm> Jack_Sparrow, it fairly consistantly is invisible when gnome first starts till I click on something
[10:43] <PPAAUULL> Can anyone help me with a flash player problem?
[10:43] <silent_scream> Seveas, i can paste bin you the errors
[10:43] <Seveas> silent_scream, then you need to find a different distro or a replacement for cabletv
[10:43] <jdahm> Jack_Sparrow, other than that, it just randomly goes on and off at times
[10:43] <Seveas> using a 2.4 kernel with ubuntu will not work
[10:43] <variant> silent_scream: you might be better trying a different distro.. there are some that still use a 2.4 kernel for whatever reason

[10:43] <fredrik> hi, can someone tell me how to get my netgear pc card to work with the router
[10:44] <Jack_Sparrow> jdahm: Sorry to ask so many dumb questions... but what video card are you using
[10:44] <Adept2point0> i am connecting a 20 gig laptop drive to my desktop on which to install ubuntu as I dont want to format of mess around with my c: drive, i have the ata adapter for it, but my pc doesn't see it as in i can't access the drive nor see that its connected.  any ideas?
[10:44] <PPAAUULL> ok

[10:45] <PPAAUULL> Firefox is shuting down everytime I go to a site that needs flash and I have installed flash and have reinstalled flash but none of that seems to work. does anyone know how to fix this problem?
[10:45] <stefg> Adept2point0: this is a hardware/bios problem which is probably not solved by ubuntu
[10:45] <physicsnick> i reinstalled ubuntu two weeks ago, and now i decided i'd rather use kde
[10:45] <Seveas> PPAAUULL, yes, yell at macromedia
[10:45] <Seveas> flash is closed source, we can't fix it
[10:45] <physicsnick> so i installed kde, and it works, but the machine is a mess
[10:45] <jdahm> Jack_Sparrow, ahh, I dont realy want to do that, Im already at like 1024x768 and thats low everything is already really big
[10:45] <physicsnick> all sorts of crazy programs
[10:45] <physicsnick> so i'm just gonna format again

[10:53] <andyshack> hello ubuntu lovers. : i have 5.10 running as a server. if i use the netinstall upgrade, will that scrap my data ?
[10:53] <Seveas> physicsnick, it's not about agreeing. It's about a piece of scriptkiddie crap that causes us hours of pain helping users to recover from the damage it does
[10:53] <Flannel> andyshack: netinstall upgrade?  you mean just normal upgrades via apt get? or what
[10:54] <andyshack> yep
[10:54] <Powerbook`> im installing ubuntu now, is it ok to use "Use the largest contrinuous free space" option if I have about 20 GB free space that I want to use for ubuntu?
[10:54] <Nrbelex> variant, well there's really no "logging in", you just enter in the VNC password
[10:54] <Seveas> Powerbook`, yes it is
[10:54] <Jack_Sparrow> physicsnick: What would you prefer we do when someone recommends somthing that is likely to break a persons system
[10:54] <ladydoor> Powerbook`: it's probably best to make a separate /home partition, but that works too
[10:54] <Powerbook`> ladydoor how would I do that
[10:54] <aaztechcln> Seveas: comeon, automatix is nice, and I'd rather use it than spend hours getting people to install all those codecs and plugins by hand
[10:54] <variant> Nrbelex: different users have different vnc passwords afaik
[10:54] <Flannel> andyshack: then you'll be fine, any config files that have conlficts should ask you about them if they can't mitigate them
[10:54] <Seveas> aaztechcln, did you READ at all?
[10:54] <Powerbook`> and ladydoor why would i do that
[10:54] <Yaakov> Hello, Jack_Sparrow.  Holding up, I hope?
[10:54] <DanLhamon> Any thoughts on boot crashes?
[10:55] <Subhuman> aaztechcln, easyubuntu does the same job
[10:55] <Subhuman> WITHOUT force
[10:55] <Jack_Sparrow> Yaakov: YEs, but need to run.. How are things, good I hope
[10:55] <Nrbelex> variant, Ok, thanks
[10:55] <aaztechcln> Subhuman: an, i guess im behind the times then
[10:55] <Yaakov> Jack_Sparrow: Yes, doing OK.  Be well.
[10:55] <andyshack> Flannel : think it would be safe to upgrade the webserver too ? also from 5.10 ?
[10:55] <PPAAUULL> here is the paste of the output:  http://pastebin.com/794329
[10:55] <physicsnick> Jack_Sparrow, obviously you guys have more experience with this stuff. I'm just saying, !<proverb> is not a very nice way of going about it. This is a pointless discussion anyway.
[10:55] <Flannel> andyshack: what?  You have two boxes?
[10:55] <andyshack> yer
[10:55] <ladydoor> Powerbook`: you'd need to manually partition--so i guess don't bother. i have it because i like knowing that even if i were to somehow manage to screw up my install all my personal files would be preserved; also, i've booted 2 linuxes on the same machine, and it's nice to have a separate /home that they both share
[10:55] <UXY36CUQ> does anyone one how to view chat history
[10:56] <Jack_Sparrow> People, I gotta run..  Play nice...
[10:56] <aaztechcln> Subhuman: what's the advantage of easyubuntu?
[10:56] <ladydoor> Jack_Sparrow: aye-aye
[10:56] <Flannel> andyshack: sure, upgrading will be fine if you want new versions of stuff
[10:56] <Seveas> aaztechcln, please discuss easyubuntu in #easyubuntu (same for automatix in #automatix) both are unsupported and very offtopic in here
[10:56] <PPAAUULL> Anyone know of a flashplayer alternative?
[10:56] <Powerbook`> ladydoor - would you mind guiding me through it if I tell you my partition table now?
[10:56] <Subhuman> aaztechcln, the reason automatix is destructive is because the code uses --force to force packahges to install even if deps dont work
[10:57] <Subhuman> easyubuntu doesnt use force, so apt cannot possibly be broken
[10:57] <Subhuman> worst that can happen is it jus fails and doesnt install.
[10:57] <aaztechcln> Seveas: noproblemo
[10:57] <Seveas> Subhuman,  please move to an offtopic channel
[10:57] <ladydoor> Powerbook`: sure, i'd be glad to. you might want to use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org for you partition table. you are using the livecd, right?
[10:57] <aaztechcln> Subhuman: nice, thx

[11:02] <Seveas> fu-k-t, ah, the orinoco_cs driver, I seriously doubt whether that supports 128-bit WEP
[11:02] <fu-k-t> i see
[11:02] <variant> PPAAUULL: what does readlink /dev/dsp say?
[11:03] <fu-k-t> so i'd have to use a network with 64 bit, then?
[11:03] <PPAAUULL> variant: what do you mean? when I click on it?
[11:03] <fu-k-t> or where would i go to learn more about this?

[11:16] <variant> UXY36CUQ: if you have logging enabled you can see it
[11:16] <sureshot> !totem
[11:16] <ubotu> Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Banshee, Beep Media Player, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine  -  See also !codecs
[11:16] <Bird> Is their anyway to view what keys were pressed in UBUNTU ?
[11:16] <variant> UXY36CUQ: look at the settings for xchat
[11:17] <andyshack> anyone played with the sparc release ?
[11:17] <Seveas> spotted, just for giggles,try rebooting -- I've had it before that the madwifi driver got confused and only rebooting actually helped
[11:17] <clemyeats> jeeves_Moss: try "hcitool scan" it should see your device's mac address
[11:17] <variant> UXY36CUQ: and any further questions regarding xchat are best placed in #xchat

[11:17] <spuddogg> variant, no go...tells me 'no process killed'
[11:17] <variant> Seveas: would removing the module and re probing it not be a better option?
[11:17] <spotted> SeanTater, ok, I'm rebooting.
[11:17] <jeeves_Moss> clmyeats:  it just says "scanning..."
[11:17] <kads> how would I go about overclocking my P$ processor
[11:17] <Seveas> variant, not with madwifi -- it sometimes gets confused beyond that
[11:17] <variant> spuddogg: find whatever the dhcp client is called and kill it
[11:18] <kads> how would I go about overclocking my P4 processor
[11:18] <jeeves_Moss> clmyeats:  then it dropps back to the prompt
[11:18] <ladydoor> !repeat
[11:18] <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
[11:18] <variant> kads: ask in #hardware
[11:18] <Seveas> kads, please find a more appropriate channel
[11:18] <spuddogg> variant, any idea how i can figure that out?
[11:18] <kads> ok
[11:18] <clemyeats> jeeves_Moss: hmm.... that's a bad sign.
[11:18] <variant> spuddogg: ps aux | grep dhcp
[11:18] <kads> Variant: does that work for ubuntu
[11:18] <kads> ?
[11:18] <clemyeats> jeeves_Moss: I'm afraid I can't help you much. It always worked out of the box for me.. never had to troubleshoot.
[11:18] <variant> kads: asking in the #hardware works for any distro
[11:18] <pseudosymbiotic> Ok, nobody that uses linux knows why my biggest root partition is called /dev/mapper/Ubuntu-root, how do I create a partition on it with fdisk?
[11:19] <jeeves_Moss> clemyeats:  I shoudl have been concerned when they disk they supplied is blank.  LOL.  But the package says it has Linux support.   I've contacted the compnay, but they have YET to respond.
[11:19] <spuddogg> variant, does dhclient sound right?
[11:19] <variant> spuddogg: yeps
[11:19] <spuddogg> variant, thanks...be back in a minut
[11:19] <spuddogg> e
[11:19] <Bird> How do I burn .iso files to cd's as images with ubuntu?
[11:19] <erUSUL> pseudosymbiotic: you are usin lvm and you can partition it just like any other afaik fdisk or cfdisk gparted etc
[11:19] <erUSUL> !lvm
[11:19] <jeeves_Moss> clemyeats:  I'm wondring if I should upgrade to the lattest release of Ubuntu.

[11:19] <tuxtux> notte a tutti
[11:20] <pseudosymbiotic> lvm?
[11:20] <clemyeats> jeeves_Moss: well, upgrading is always a good idea.. I don't if it'll fix it though.
[11:20] <ladydoor> jeeves_Moss: you mean dapper (stable) or edgy (development)
[11:20] <ladydoor> ?
[11:20] <jeeves_Moss> ladydoor: I'm thinking dapper
[11:20] <erUSUL> pseudosymbiotic: logical volume manager
[11:20] <clemyeats> jeeves_Moss: edgy will be out very soon now.
[11:20] <erUSUL> !lvm pseudosymbiotic
[11:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lvm pseudosymbiotic - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:20] <clemyeats> !schedule
[11:20] <ubotu> Ubuntu uses a strict timetable for releases, which means that sometimes newly released programs miss the timetable. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases for more. Edgy schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseSchedule
[11:20] <ladydoor> jeeves_Moss: ok, cool. dapper's pretty stable
[11:21] <erUSUL> !lvm > pseudosymbiotic
[11:21] <XoB> To create a file called ID.so.conf i /etc/ with a line in it (from the terminal) How do i do that?
[11:21] <jeeves_Moss> ladydoor:  I can't wait to put my hands on that newest version of Gnome with the animated desktop.  It'll help me convince my clients to ditch Windows 98
[11:21] <Flannel> jeeves_Moss: beta version of edgy is coming out this weekend, I believe.
[11:21] <ladydoor> jeeves_Moss: haha...i haven't got the slightest idea what you're talking about, but it sounds pretty
[11:21] <nemik> I'm trying to bind vim's autocomplete (ctrl-x, ctrl-o) to be ctrl-space but it is not working, i used 'map <C-@> <C-X><C-O>'
[11:21] <jeeves_Moss> Flannel:  it has to be stable though.
[11:22] <ladydoor> nemik: #vim?
[11:22] <jeeves_Moss> ladydoor:  from what I've seen on their site, it animates wondows, desktop switches, etc.  I think they're trying to make it look mor elike a Mac.
[11:22] <nemik> ladydoor, thanks but they don't seem to know
[11:22] <spuddogg_> variant, worked like a charm...thanks
[11:22] <sureshot> what codec should i use for totem to play a dvd
[11:22] <XoB> To create a file called ID.so.conf i /etc/ with a line in it (from the terminal) How do i do that?
[11:22] <erUSUL> !dvd > sureshot
[11:22] <stefg> !dvdv
[11:22] <ladydoor> jeeves_Moss: ah. cool, if you like that sort of thing.
[11:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dvdv - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:22] <jeeves_Moss> Flannel:  is there a simple way to upgrade?  I don't have a blank DVD here with my lappy, and the partition it's on is tiny.
[11:23] <Bird> Are their any programs for burning cd's in ubuntu?
[11:23] <TheGateKeeper> jeeves_Moss: lattest gnome uses an animated wall paper?
[11:23] <jeeves_Moss> ladydoor:  it makes it an easier sell to my boss, etc.  I hate Windows.
[11:23] <ladydoor> nemik: hmmm. i don't know what to tell you if the vim developers don't know what to tell you
[11:23] <ladydoor> jeeves_Moss: yeah
[11:23] <variant> spuddogg_: np, glad to hear it
[11:23] <jeeves_Moss> thegatekeeper:  there was an artical on slashdot a week ago I think.
[11:23] <erUSUL> Bird: a lot. i use nautilus for data cd's (the file manager) or gnomebaker
[11:23] <variant> spuddogg_: you got access with the new mac address?
[11:23] <nemik> ladydoor, thanks anyway, maybe i'll ask in there again
[11:23] <XoB> ladydoor: its calle microsuck windoze..
[11:23] <Wiseguy> hey guys how do i change firefox's defualt movie player from totem to mplayer?
[11:23] <jeeves_Moss> Wiseguy:  I prefer M$
[11:24] <Bird> erusul, I am looking for something that I can use to burn .iso files with to disc as images.
[11:24] <Sourcemage> Guys, I'm trying to install an rpg called Daimonin and I'm having some trouble. I've been following the install guide on the site but i keep getting an error
[11:24] <ladydoor> XoB: uhhhh...ok. when was i sticking up for windows? i wiped it from my harddrive first chance i got.
[11:24] <Wiseguy> jeeves_Moss, hmmm?
[11:24] <jeeves_Moss> ladydoor: http://www.gnome.org/
[11:24] <iturk> hi there any application in linux that edits psd files ?? (Adobe Photoshop images)
[11:24] <Sourcemage> It asked me to extract the tar.gz (which i did) and then move into a certain folder and type in 'sh ./configure'
[11:24] <jeeves_Moss> Wiseguy:  microsuck and M$
[11:24] <TheGateKeeper> jeeves_Moss: my other half goes mad on that animated stuff, I'll get another convert :-)
[11:24] <Sourcemage> but i get this error message checking build system type... configure: error: cannot guess build type; you must specify one
[11:24] <britt> anybody have the newest naim tarball
[11:24] <britt> ?
[11:24] <Wiseguy> jeeves_Moss, what are you talking about>
[11:24] <britt> I really could use it
[11:24] <Bird> What is so bad about windows?
[11:24] <stefg> jeeves_Moss: but rather stay away from xgl, if you really want to persuade your boss :-)
[11:25] <jeeves_Moss> all:  does any one know the easy way of upgrading to the newest stable version of Ubuntu with out needing a CD and still being in Ubuntu?
[11:25] <XoB> ladydoor:  Did'nt say you were sticking up for it.. actually i was pointing out your point
[11:25] <Flannel> jeeves_Moss: updating?  yeah, just normal upgrade.
[11:25] <linopil> !xgl
[11:25] <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
[11:25] <Seveas> Bird, please stay on-topic here, windows is way off-topic
[11:25] <jeeves_Moss> stefg:  it keeps the riff raff away from my laptop.  They're afraid they'll break it.
[11:25] <jeeves_Moss> flannel:  "normal upgrade"?
[11:26] <benh> so edgy comes with evolution 2.6.8
[11:26] <Flannel> jeeves_Moss: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[11:26] <benh> 2.8.0 that is
[11:26] <benh> hrm
[11:26] <clemyeats> the one thing I hate about microsoft is the fact that GUIs are not frontends... they're the only thing. Appart from that it's a good OS. Not for nerds though or people who to write scripts.
[11:26] <benh> with 2.6.x I could sort-of coerce IMAP into working
[11:26] <benh> with 2.8.0 not at all
[11:26] <clemyeats> s/microsoft/windows/eg;
[11:26] <jeeves_Moss> flannel:  thanks.  I'm still a little "out of it".  too much cold meds.  LOL  and that bottle of wine last night didn't help
[11:26] <Flannel> jeeves_Moss: but actually, on gnome, there's update manager, which works much easierly
[11:26] <Bird> Seveas, Do you know any programs that I could use to burn .iso files to cd's as images?
[11:26] <Seveas> clemyeats, please stay on-topic here, windows is way off-topic
[11:26] <benh> it's amazing that the evo folks never managed to get IMAP remotely reliable
[11:26] <benh> ot
[11:26] <clemyeats> Seveas: ok, I was only replying.
[11:26] <benh> it's actually getting worse with every version
[11:26] <Seveas> Bird, nautilus, gnomebaker, k3b
[11:26] <XoB> To create a file called ID.so.conf i /etc/ with a line in it (from the terminal) How do i do that?
[11:26] <Bird> seveas, Thank you.
[11:27] <Flannel> XoB: a line infront of it?
[11:27] <spuddogg__> variant, yes, i can connect and access the net with a spoofed address, but it does not seem to work if spoofing a mac that is in use
[11:27] <Seveas> XoB, you probably mean ld.so.conf
[11:27] <stefg> Bird: have you ever tried what shows up when you right-click an .iso-file in gnome?
[11:27] <ladydoor> Bird: bashburn?
[11:27] <vorbote> britt: the latest naim tarball is in the packages server (ubuntu's or debian's). Naim as a project is pretty much dead. (http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/net/naim)
[11:27] <jeeves_Moss> flannel:  it says that it's up to date. this is strange.  it was the update manager that told me that I needed to upgrade.
[11:27] <XoB> Flannel: yeah
[11:27] <Seveas> XoB, sudo nano /etc/ld.so.conf
[11:27] <Flannel> jeeves_Moss: you're running dapper currently?  then you don't, you're up to date.
[11:28] <Bird> stefg, Yes I have and it didnt work.
[11:28] <fu-k-t> so, anyone have any idea why my wireless card (it's internal on a laptop) isn't showing up in lspci when the interface (eth1) IS appearing?
[11:28] <butternuts> When I upgraded to dapper, I noticed that new account get a "log out" button on the very right of the top bar.  But I can't get the button into that position in my existing account.  I can only move it to just left of the time/date/calendar section...anyone know how I can get it moved to the right?
[11:28] <XoB> Flannel:  And where do what it will hold?
[11:28] <stefg> !k3b
[11:28] <ubotu> k3b is a feature-rich and user-friendly burning application for KDE (and, as all KDE applications, works fine on GNOME). For a guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/K3BHowto
[11:28] <jeeves_Moss> flannel:  do you know how to upgrade Gnome then?
[11:28] <brando1> Can someone tell me what is going on with ubuntu's init scripts?  If I try to use a stock /etc/init.d/script that script won't start because of invalid permissions. it's owned right, and exactly as I've set up scripts on hundreds of other installs.  Why is ubuntu different and how should it be done so that it works?
[11:28] <Flannel> jeeves_Moss: to upgrade gnome, you'd have to upgrade to edgy
[11:28] <XoB> Flannel: Where do i put the string it should hold in that command
[11:28] <Seveas> brando1, give us the ls -l of the file
[11:28] <stefg> !boot
[11:28] <ubotu> Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a bootfloppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto
[11:28] <Flannel> XoB: what are you talking about?
[11:28] <jeeves_Moss> Flannel:  I'm just concerned about how stable it is.
[11:29] <Flannel> jeeves_Moss: You can ask in #ubuntu+1
[11:29] <variant> spuddogg__: no, it will not :)
[11:29] <Flannel> jeeves_Moss: they'll be able to tell you
[11:29] <bazdmeg> !java
[11:29] <ubotu> 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
[11:29] <RedGhost> Is there something in apt to allow me to extract .RAR archives??
[11:29] <homer_linux> hiya ppl i broken X i installed the new nvidia beta driver ,i removed them now im back to 1.0-8762 but when i start x i get an error message of loaded nvidia kernel module 1.0-8762 but this module of x is 1.0-9625 been looking but i cant work out whats module it is any ideas ppl
[11:29] <variant> spuddogg__: where are you doing this? corporate network?
[11:29] <jeeves_Moss> flannel: #ubuntu+1 is the "edgy" channel?
[11:29] <brando1> seveas: same as all the other scripts, trust me.
[11:29] <Flannel> jeeves_Moss: correct
[11:29] <adam> hi again, my friend tried that command and he rebooted twice, the wlan doesnt work, does anybody have any ideas??
[11:29] <adam> 
[11:29] <adam> DWL-G520
[11:29] <adam> ops sry
[11:29] <XoB> flannel: nevermind.. (i'm very new to linux (ubuntu)..
[11:29] <Seveas> homer_linux, you'll need to downgrade both the kernel module and the X driver
[11:29] <Bird> If I am going to run windows and linux on my computer do I give both partitions the "BOOT" flag or do neither get it?
[11:29] <Seveas> brando1, fine, if you don't want help, don't give info 
[11:30] <ladydoor> !dualboot
[11:30] <mluser-work> what is the equivalent of 'rpm -qf <filename>' in the apt world?
[11:30] <ubotu> Dual boot instructions for x86/amd64 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - for mac https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot
[11:30] <jeeves_Moss> flannel:  ok, thanks.  I'll probley be back in a few mins.  LOL  That is after I get confused.
[11:30] <ladydoor> Bird: ^^^
[11:30] <RedGhost> Is there something in apt to allow me to extract .RAR archives??
[11:30] <wols_> Bird: neither. grub doesn't care about the flag
[11:30] <Seveas> mluser-work, dpkg -S filename
[11:30] <ladydoor> RedGhost: unrar
[11:30] <erUSUL> RedGhost: unrar
[11:30] <mluser-work> Seveas: thank you
[11:30] <stefg> Bird: grub doesn't rely on that, so don't care
[11:30] <RedGhost> ty x2
[11:30] <Bird> laydoor, Thank you.
[11:30] <ladydoor> Bird: np
[11:30] <Flannel> XoB: that command will open a text editor, if you have stuff you want to put somewhere, you usually tee it (tee, because you'll need sudo, you can't pipe with >>)
[11:30] <Wiseguy> hey guys how do i change firefox's defualt movie player from totem to mplayer?
[11:30] <bigredradio> Anyone know how to allow port 6000 (remove -nolisten tcp) from the X server settings? Using gnome.
[11:30] <erUSUL> Wiseguy: uninstall the totem plugin and install the mplayer one
[11:31] <brando1> So someone can't just make their own script and put it in place manually and have it work? they have to add the new script via update-rc.d?
[11:31] <XoB> Flannel: WoooW.. Slow down there.. I said VERY new to linux..
[11:31] <spuddogg__> variant, no, just at home.  i like to learn.  that is the god's honest truth...I have no desire in hacking, yet i have spent the last few weeks learning how to crack weps...I now have 3 different nics i use on my own network :)
[11:31] <adam> hi again, my friend tried that command and he rebooted twice, the wlan doesnt work does anybody have any ideas??? my friend has a
[11:31] <adam> 
[11:31] <adam> DWL-G520
[11:31] <Seveas> !repeat > adam
[11:31] <andyshack> have any of you had good results and success with the sparc distro ?
[11:31] <Flannel> XoB: the 'sudo nano /path/thing/here' will open up a text editor, that you can then paste into
[11:31] <homer_linux> Seveas i htought i had i know the kernel module is done but having some problem with the x one
[11:31] <Seveas> brando1, maybe someone could give advise if you cooperated a bit..
[11:32] <adam> my friends wlan card does still not work, he did that command and he rebooted twice
[11:32] <fredl> how do I find out which processes have which TCP sockets listening?
[11:32] <variant> spuddogg__: nice :)
[11:32] <XoB> Flannel: I noticed.. :P
[11:32] <Seveas> fredl, netstat -tl
[11:32] <XoB> Flannel: How do i save the thing i wrote?
[11:32] <fredl> tnx
[11:32] <Seveas> fredl, for more info: sudo netstat -tlp or sudo netstat -tlnp
[11:32] <brando1> seveas: I'm not on the system now, so I can't tell you exactly. permission were something like wrx--rx-rx root daemon or soemthing
[11:32] <Flannel> XoB: ctrl-O to save it, ctrl-X to quit the program once you're done (^ is control, the commands are at the bottom of the screen)
[11:33] <Bird> Does anyone know the linux command for making a new account with full administrative access would be?
[11:33] <spuddogg__> variant, yea its alot of fun, but i seem to be making myself paranoid though :/
[11:33] <Seveas> brando1, that would be half right
[11:33] <XoB> Flannel: thanks.. Didnt get ^O to work :P ^=Ctrl.. Nice to now..
[11:33] <spuddogg__> variant, i have learned that the term "wireless security" is an oxymoron
[11:33] <Seveas> spuddogg__, ;)
[11:33] <erUSUL> Bird: man adduser (just make sure the new user ends up in the admin group)
[11:34] <D-Man`> any osx/ubuntu dual boot users here?
[11:34] <fredl> I'm so glad I chose not to go into internet security... the feeling that a system has been hacked but you can't put a finger on it just yet is gnarly.
[11:34] <Bird> erusul, Thank you.
[11:34] <SAngeli> Also, how to make grub boot logs fonts or screen resolution smaller? i have a 17" LCD Monitor
[11:34] <spuddogg__> did variant leave?
[11:34] <Seveas> spuddogg__, with wpa2/802.1x and other somewhat sane security mechanisms you can get a long way though
[11:34] <wols_> spuddogg__: VPN over wireless only. SSH encrpyted traffic is secure :)
[11:34] <brando1> how about -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root :) I'll cheat, still doesn't change anything.  The script gets run but it's not running the script as root.  It's as though whatever is starting scripts in rc2.d (which symlinks to init.d of course) is not run as root, so if you have a script that requires root to be running it, the script may not start correctly.
[11:34] <variant> spuddogg__: i still here
[11:34] <fredl> Seveas, also any netstat option to see which processes have TCP connections open?
[11:34] <fredl> (as opposed to listening)
[11:34] <Wiseguy> erUSUL, im not sure what you mean... i searched through synaptic for a firefox mplayer plugin and couldnt find one... or totem one for that matter
[11:35] <wols_> fredl: ntstat -anp |less
[11:35] <variant> spuddogg__: indeed, wpa2 tkip is pretty solid though
[11:35] <Seveas> brando1, how are you running the script?
[11:35] <spuddogg__> Seveas, yes my next adventure is working on cracking WPA stuff.  only problem with that is some people say you ubuntu does not support WPA
[11:35] <fredl> gracias
[11:35] <kyja> if I figured out how to get and compile kernel 2.6.17> then would I have to erase fwcutter and all those drivers.
[11:35] <Seveas> spuddogg__, these words flow through wpa
[11:35] <wols_> spuddogg__: wpa_supplicant
[11:35] <Seveas> it works 
[11:35] <spuddogg__> Seveas, wols_:  ok, i will check into that
[11:36] <Flannel> spuddogg__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo
[11:36] <britt> vorbote: so what does everybody use for console aim now?
[11:36] <brando1> seveas: it's on boot, so init is running it
[11:36] <fredl> a qmail-rspawn process on a box that is also running sendmail... yet this qmail-rspawn process is talking to port 6666 of irc.saunalahti.fi...
[11:36] <ladydoor> britt: bitlbee
[11:36] <mike-digiport-> I installed Ubuntu, everything went fine, but when it boots up, when tis about to show the login screen with gdm (i think) it just stalls, it shows a cursor on the top left, then it just stops blinking after a couple seconds and stays there
[11:36] <fredl> that spells trouble.
[11:36] <vorbote> britt: I'd guess centericq
[11:36] <ladydoor> britt: it's multi-protocol.
[11:36] <spuddogg__> Seveas, wols_, variant:  have any of you ever succeeded in hacking a WPA(2) network?
[11:36] <brando1> seveas: if I run it as "sudo /etc/init.d/script start" it works correctly.  On boot it does not
[11:36] <ladydoor> vorbote: centericq no longer supports aim
[11:36] <britt> bitlbee or centericq
[11:37] <britt> does either one do MSN too?
[11:37] <Seveas> brando1, what is the full path of the symlink which is supposed to start it?
[11:37] <wols_>  bitlbee does
[11:37] <Bird> spuddogg__, What do you use to Hack WEPs?
[11:37] <britt> :)
[11:37] <ladydoor> britt: bitlbee does. it runs out of your irc client of choice :-)
[11:37] <brando1> seveas: /etc/rc2.d/script -> ../init.d/script
[11:37] <britt> wait bitlbee isnt a standalone app?
[11:37] <Flannel> britt: centerICQ does as well
[11:37] <Flannel> britt: centerICQ is
[11:37] <Seveas> brando1, that will not work
[11:37] <kyja> :/
[11:37] <spuddogg__> Bird, kismet and aircrack-ng, and an orinoco card
[11:37] <D-Man`> I need help...  something kills the yaboot loader leaving me unable to boot ubuntu.. I am not gonna do a new install of ubuntu to fix this problem...  anyone that can help (and yes I've read the forums...googled...etc)
[11:37] <Seveas> brando1, look more closely at the other symlinks
[11:38] <ladydoor> britt: nope.
[11:38] <Seveas> they HAVE TO start with Sxx or Kxx
[11:38] <vorbote> britt: bitlbee is a proxy server
[11:38] <Flannel> britt: bitlbee is a go-between betweek the network, and an IRC client
[11:38] <Seveas> also see the manual for init
[11:38] <spuddogg__> Bird, oh yes, and a ralink card
[11:38] <Bird> spuddogg__, do you know if back-track is any good?
[11:38] <brando1> seveas: it actually does, however the script reports that it does not have permission to start the program because it's not being started as root.  I can do a "sudo /etc/rc2.d/script start" and it works fine
[11:38] <spuddogg__> Bird, not sure what you mean by that
[11:38] <Bird> spuddogg__, You know what back-track is right?
[11:38] <brando1> Seveas: Sorry, "sudo /etc/rc2.d/S13script -> ../init.d/script"
[11:39] <spuddogg__> Bird, nope.  i would imagine its software for cracking weps though :)
[11:39] <Bird> spuddogg__, http://www.remote-exploit.org   check it out it goes beyong weps
[11:39] <Bird> beyond*
[11:39] <spuddogg__> Bird: sure will man, checking now
[11:39] <Seveas> Why S13, what's the script supposed to do?
[11:40] <brando1> seveas: the problem seems to be that init is not starting the scripts as root, I guess I could always `echo id > /tmp/file` to find out who it's being run as, but that won't help me figure out why it's not being run as root...
[11:40] <finalbeta> Anyone knows a newsgroup reader for binary files? it needs to be able to read .nzb files, and create them.
[11:40] <kitche> britt: to use bitlbee just connect to im.bitlbee.org using an irc client
[11:40] <Seveas> init should start it as root, if the script and symlink are owned by root:root
[11:40] <spuddogg__> Bird, ah yes, i have heard of back-track...i have never tested it out though, but i will :)
[11:40] <ladydoor> britt: OR install bitlbee and connect to localhost, which is more secure
[11:40] <brando1> Seveas: I'm replacing gdm with a specific xinit command. gdm was S13, so I should be fine starting X at that point too.
[11:40] <butternuts> Is there a seperate "power off" button that can be added to the "Notification Area"?  Or do I want a power button added to the right of the Notification Area?
[11:41] <Flannel> britt: or just install centerICQ ;)
[11:41] <Bird> spuddogg__, Come to channel kos16
[11:41] <ladydoor> Flannel: it no longer supports AIM, unless there's a new version.
[11:41] <spuddogg__> Bird, OTW
[11:41] <britt> Flannel: i like that idea better
[11:41] <Flannel> ladydoor: er, I'm on AIM right now
[11:41] <britt> brb
[11:41] <brando1> seveas: I agree it should. Odd thing though it doesn't seem to be, so I was wondering if this was a redesign for ubuntu's own reasons..
[11:41] <mluser-work> anyone know what the develpment package for 'file' is?
[11:41] <Seveas> brando1, double check the permissions and do the id > /tmp/foo trick
[11:41] <jeeves_Moss> flannel:  are you still here?
[11:42] <ladydoor> Flannel: for serious? aim stopped working in my centericq back in december, and i've reinstalled it a few times (from scratch) and it still didn't work
[11:42] <mluser-work> I'm looking for magic.h, but only find imagemagicks magic.h file
[11:42] <Flannel> ladydoor: yeah, I've had no problems
[11:42] <crimsun> mluser-work: libmagic-dev
[11:42] <ladydoor> Flannel: weird...i wonder why it suddenly stopped for me.
[11:42] <jeeves_Moss> flannel:  ok, they're ignoring me in there.  Do you know how to do the upgrade to edgy?
[11:42] <fredrik> Can someone let me know a step by step config of my wireless pc card, tried to do it through the configure network card in ubuntu but wher told to use the terminal and type in sudo, any clue anyone?I`m new to linux as well

[11:44] <Seveas> finalbeta, klibido
[11:45] <jacobmp92> gah im not going to bother explaining how it directly affects ubuntu

[11:47] <joeljkp> anyone know how ubuntu and debian compare on old low-spec servers?
[11:48] <Flannel> joeljkp: as servers? or desktops?
[11:48] <joeljkp> flannel: servers
[11:48] <Seveas> joeljkp, the same way as apples and pears compare
[11:48] <Flannel> joeljkp: Probably pretty comperable
[11:48] <Seveas> they're both fruit, but taste quite different
[11:49] <joeljkp> seveas: in terms of system specs
[11:49] <zambaroo> hi guys
[11:49] <Seveas> joeljkp, ubuntu has a newer kernel + toolchain
[11:49] <zambaroo> does anyone run postfix from the repository, with sasl?
[11:49] <joeljkp> flannel: if you were building a server with severe ram/disk space/processing power limitations, which would you choose?
[11:49] <zambaroo> having issues with connecting to saslauthd during authentication
[11:49] <Seveas> joeljkp, I'd choose to buy a new server 
[11:50] <joeljkp> flannel: 586-type
[11:51] <Flannel> joeljkp: your best bet would be to try each, and see ;)  since I'm no expert.  Personally, I'd choose ubuntu, because I like not having to tweak config files a whole lot
