[12:00] <defiant> 1 month
[12:00] <Theodor> Okay, the problem occures once this is done: initrd.gz
[12:00] <trilingualkid> LjL: thanx. It was taking such a long time!
[12:01] <jur> hi
[12:01] <`rich> Theodor, it sounds like a graphics issue - are you using particularly old/obscure hardware?
[12:01] <trilingualkid> LjL: so, what did u say about pressing Y?
[12:01] <Theodor> It's my laptop, and I have ATI RADEON X600
[12:01] <n2diy> defiant, the hardware may be too new to be fully supported yet, do you have an old box laying around?
[12:01] <Theodor> I tried to use the option: Install with safe graphic or something.
[12:01] <defiant> Yes  i do
[12:01] <`rich> no luck i take it
[12:01] <Theodor> Do you think it'll work if I use text based installation ?
[12:01] <stefg> !ati
[12:01] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:02] <`rich> Theodor, It's worth a try, even if it's just to narrow down what's going on.
[12:02] <LjL> trilingualkid... when you do "sudo apt-get install <something>", it will always (well, as long as it's not a single package) ask you for confirmation first. and it will always specify how big the total download size is going to be. you know what kind of connection you have, so you can make your sums
[12:02] <jur> <-- Ubuntu 6.06 -- AGP NVidia 4200 -- I seem to be getting video lag AND Device Manager says my card bus is PCI instead of AGP !
[12:02] <n2diy> defiant, try installing Ubuntu on the old box.
[12:02] <defiant> I never thought of that
[12:02] <Theodor> I'm just worried about my laptop. Because I have to shut it down eventhough the hdd is still working.
[12:02] <LjL> trilingualkid: and anyway even after you've pressed Y and Enter to confirm, it will always give you an estimated time to completion.
[12:02] <Theodor> but I'll give it a try.
[12:02] <defiant> but even that one is about 5 months old.
[12:02] <TheGateKeeper> defiant, use livecd's to test that a distro is happy with your hardware
[12:02] <trilingualkid> LjL: is there anyway to use the package manager to install it?
[12:03] <LjL> trilingualkid: KDE is a desktop environment, and the kubuntu-desktop package includes a lot of goodies (everything that's in Kubuntu). so it's clearly going to be a couple of hundred megs
[12:03] <defiant> livecd's? What is that?
[12:03] <stefg> !Desktop
[12:03] <ubotu> The available desktop environments in Ubuntu are Gnome (ubuntu-desktop), KDE (kubuntu-desktop), Xfce (xubuntu-desktop), IceWM, Fluxbox, WindowMaker (wmaker), FVWM  and others.
[12:03] <LjL> trinkolade: err... what did you think apt-get and/or aptitude are? they *are* the package manager.
[12:03] <Theodor> What does "INSTALL IN OEM mode" means ?
[12:03] <LjL> Ubotu, tell trinkolade about apt | trinkolade, see the private message from Ubotu
[12:03] <stefg> !alternate
[12:03] <ubotu> The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[12:03] <trilingualkid> LjL: so can I use package manager or not?
[12:03] <LjL> trilingualkid: yes. you just did.
[12:04] <trilingualkid> LjL: oh. Is it just basically installing the OS?
[12:04] <LjL> trilingualkid: aptitude IS the package manager. apt-get IS the package manager.
[12:04] <Music_Shuffle> LjL, its something like 600+.
[12:04] <TheGateKeeper> stefg, are you a dev?
[12:04] <Music_Shuffle> For the full.
[12:04] <jp82> hi
[12:04] <trilingualkid> LjL: I'm understanding now....
[12:04] <Music_Shuffle> <-- always installs KDE, flux, xfce + gnome. :o
[12:04] <stefg> TheGateKeeper: no, thanks, I'm alive and kickkin' :-)
[12:04] <theDan> hi. i installed ubuntu on one of my hdds, but the system boots off another w/ windows.. is there a way i can remove ubuntu & the bootloader?
[12:04] <trilingualkid> LjL: so am I just replacing the OS?
[12:04] <TheGateKeeper> stefg, :-)
[12:04] <LjL> trilingualkid: apt-get, aptitude, Synaptic, Adept and friends are all front-ends to the Debian package management system: APT.
[12:04] <Theodor> damn it
[12:04] <Theodor> it's not working
[12:04] <Music_Shuffle> !ohmy
[12:04] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[12:04] <Music_Shuffle> :o
[12:05] <Theodor> sorry.
[12:05] <LjL> trilingualkid: no. you're installing packages. specifically, you're installing the packages that are listed as dependencies of the kubuntu-desktop package.
[12:05] <defiant> Which version of Linux is the easiest to begin on?
[12:05] <LjL> you're not replacing anything.
[12:05] <Music_Shuffle> I wasn't being really serious, but some people would take it seriously. :)
[12:05] <LjL> !offtopic | defiant
[12:05] <ubotu> defiant: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[12:05] <snowflake> defiant: Ubuntu, please.
[12:05] <korona> so anyways...i came in here for a support question...for ubuntu...basically when I boot Ubuntu off of the CD and click on the Install on the desktop, i get as far as the computer asking what my location is in the world
[12:05] <n2diy> defiant, Ubuntu.
[12:05] <trilingualkid> LjL: so it just changes the desktop appearence?
[12:05] <jp82> I got WINE to install Photoshop CS, but I can't get it to boot
[12:05] <fla> up365: this ubuntuforums guide didn't help :(
[12:05] <korona> at that point the instillation crashes
[12:05] <LjL> trilingualkid: do you know what KDE is?
[12:05] <Music_Shuffle> K Desktop Environment.
[12:05] <LjL> or what GNOME is for that matter
[12:05] <Music_Shuffle> Key there is 'Desktop Environment'.
[12:06] <trilingualkid> LjL: K Desktop Environment
[12:06] <defiant> I am sorry what was this I just got?
[12:06] <Aardwolf> How can I get "SDL.h" on my ubuntu, to allow me to compile programs that use SDL?
[12:06] <TheGateKeeper> defiant, did you read my answer to that in the url I gave you?
[12:06] <Music_Shuffle> defiant, come to #ubuntu-offtopic if you want a bunch of responses not all saying 'ubuntu' ;P
[12:06] <LjL> trilingualkid, not what the acronym means. what it *is*. if you know what it is, then you know what installing kubuntu-desktop will do: install it. plus a couple of KDE programs.
[12:06] <Theodor> I'm affraid it has something to do with the PCI, my problem that is.
[12:06] <stefg> !info sdl-dev
[12:06] <ubotu> Package sdl-dev does not exist in any distro I know
[12:06] <Theodor> It said that it couldn't allocate something at address 0
[12:06] <Aardwolf> :/
[12:06] <defiant> I am reading it now TheGateKeeper
[12:06] <korona> so yeah...does anyone know why the instillation for ubuntu crashes on me
[12:06] <LjL> !info libsdl-dev | stefg
[12:06] <ubotu> Package libsdl-dev does not exist in any distro I know
[12:06] <trilingualkid> LjL: no. i don't know what it is
[12:07] <Music_Shuffle> Theodor, what'd you do again?
[12:07] <`rich> korona, from that line? no :)
[12:07] <korona> i mentioned something before
[12:07] <Theodor> I tried every single option, and yet the same problem occurs.
[12:07] <`rich> ooh, i'll scroll up, one min
[12:07] <Aardwolf> libsdl-dev appears to work
[12:07] <Music_Shuffle> `rich, korona's install apparently gets to asking location and then crashes.
[12:07] <defiant> I understand
[12:07] <korona> during the Live CD
[12:07] <Theodor> Something is wrong. It's either Ubuntu is not identifying my hardware or it's Ubuntu not identifying my hardware.
[12:07] <stefg> LjL: yup, that what apt-cache search told me as well... highlight on Aardwolf < read it
[12:07] <Aardwolf> yes! it works
[12:08] <Music_Shuffle> Theodor, you're forgetting one. Ubuntu just might not be recognizing your hardware! :P
[12:08] <LjL> stefg, Aardwolf: yeah, spurious apt-cache result. it probably was there on dapper but not on edgy. there are many libsdl*dev packages on edgy though
[12:08] <trilingualkid> LjL: what exactly IS the K Desktop Environment
[12:08] <trilingualkid> ?
[12:08] <TheGateKeeper> defiant, you got to keep as it, my first with Mandrake was a total disaster
[12:08] <Theodor> That's not funny ;( ... This is very frustrating. I've been waiting like a month to get my hands on Ubuntu
[12:08] <Theodor> and now it's not working.
[12:08] <TheGateKeeper> at it*
[12:08] <korona> so either rich or music shuffle, since your the ones listening here...do you have any idea...is there any way to install this NOT from the live cd?
[12:08] <fnord_> can some one help me troubleshoot my installation of openchrome dirvers on edgy?
[12:08] <kane77> what is a best way to get all the packages that I need to install (dependencies and stuff..) onto a computer that's not connected to internet and doesn't have a DVD drive??
[12:08] <`rich> Theodor, do you have another computer you can try it on? without actually installing anything.
[12:09] <Music_Shuffle> korona, install from the alternate CD?
[12:09] <Aardwolf> how can I upgrade breezy to edgy?
[12:09] <korona> tried alternative CD
[12:09] <Music_Shuffle> No luck either?
[12:09] <korona> i admit there are problems with hardware detection with my CD rom as well
[12:09] <Music_Shuffle> Or rather, what's it..do?
[12:09] <korona> no luck...
[12:09] <trilingualkid> LjL: what is KDE, exactly?
[12:09] <Theodor> I'm thinking about my desktop, but I won't risk shutting it off and the like. It cost me way too much.
[12:09] <`rich> korona, must say i have no idea. that kind of thing just shouldn't happen tbh, and i have no idea where we might find errors/logs etc
[12:09] <Music_Shuffle> !KDE
[12:09] <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
[12:09] <LjL> trilingualkid: this is a description i've written once of what makes up ubuntu, read about desktop environments https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KnowThyUbuntu
[12:09] <Music_Shuffle> korona, I had that happen with this machine.
[12:09] <TheGateKeeper> trilingualkid, a desktop
[12:09] <korona> really...
[12:09] <emun> backpacker, i can not bave the file u sent me i have the file opened at the url on my desktop
[12:09] <stefg> Aardwolf: only step-by-step ... breeezy-> dppaer-> edgy
[12:09] <korona> what was your solution
[12:10] <emun> i mean save
[12:10] <Theodor> I'll be back, I'll try it on my sister's desktop =)
[12:10] <defiant> I would not be concerned if I could do what I needed to do
[12:10] <Music_Shuffle> Although...my problem was caused by my RAM timings being messed up. So I had to reset them from 'Auto', because it was erroring on heavy i/o.
[12:10] <`rich> Theodor, haha, nice.
[12:10] <BackPacker> emun: You mean you have it open in your web browser?
[12:10] <korona> it could be the RAM as well for all i know
[12:10] <korona> my computer has some problems
[12:10] <emun> yes
[12:10] <korona> and I dont have enough money to replace some of the hardware
[12:10] <Theodor> that's if she let me man ;p
[12:10] <LjL> trilingualkid: KDE is the graphical interface, in a nutshell. it's what (some) programs (KDE programs) use to give you buttons and menus, and what the system uses to give you a panel and a desktop. same goes for GNOME. only, they're different. "what are the differences?" - well, they're just different. what are the differences between the Windows, the Mac OS and the GNOME user interfaces? a lot. same.
[12:10] <kane77> what should be the umask in fstab for ntfs disk??
[12:10] <kane77> it doesnt mount...
[12:10] <korona> so...can you give me an idea what to do then rich?
[12:10] <joeamined> hi folks
[12:10] <BackPacker> emun: Did you click the link near the top that says "Download as text"?
[12:11] <Music_Shuffle> korona, is it an OEM machine?
[12:11] <korona> OEM as in...
[12:11] <Music_Shuffle> Or do you have access to BIOS stuff?
[12:11] <korona> I have acecss to bios
[12:11] <korona> its a Dell
[12:11] <Music_Shuffle> As in...Original Equip. Manufac., like HP, Sony, Compaq, etc.
[12:11] <joeamined> i'm using debian etch and i'm hezitating to move to ubuntu
[12:11] <emun> ok i clicked on it
[12:11] <stefg> kane, if it doesn't *mount* then it's not related to umask... only r/w-permissions are affected
[12:11] <Music_Shuffle> Right, Dell too.
[12:11] <Aardwolf> "Could not calculate the upgrade" "A unresolvable problem occured while calculating the upgrade." "Please report this as a bug."
[12:11] <Aardwolf> Hereby I report it :)
[12:11] <BackPacker> emun: and what happened?
[12:12] <Music_Shuffle> It might be the disk drive cords possibly. Are they fastened securely?
[12:12] <kane77> stefg, to be precise it mounts but I cannot access it...
[12:12] <stefg> kane77: ahhh...
[12:12] <korona> Its hard to tell...its a notebook
[12:12] <stefg> !ntfs
[12:12] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[12:12] <emun> it openened in plain text
[12:12] <rstanca> hi, anyone if it to make split archives with bzip|gzip? nothing in the manual...how do you make split archive in linux?
[12:12] <korona> I have had several problems with windows crashing on me...and i have resorted to a double partition...but was never able to install ubuntu
[12:12] <BackPacker> emun: So now, in your browser, do File, Save As
[12:13] <linux_scholar> Is KDE better for advanced users only?
[12:13] <kohr_> how do i select the default audio output?
[12:13] <BackPacker> emun: Save it somewhere and make a note which directory it's in
[12:13] <Music_Shuffle> linux_scholar, not really, why?
[12:13] <emun> i have save page as in firefox
[12:13] <BackPacker> emun: That's the one
[12:14] <korona> rich or music shuffle... suggestions on what approach to take?
[12:14] <un_operateur> rstanca, split --help  or  man split
[12:14] <un_operateur> ?
[12:14] <emun> ok i want to save in to a floppy is that ok
[12:14] <Music_Shuffle> korona, Can you load the LiveCD for any other distro?
[12:14] <ik> hi
[12:14] <Music_Shuffle> Hello.
[12:14] <kohr_> how do i select the default audio output? I am trying to get it to output to USB headphobes
[12:15] <korona> i tried another distro for the live CD
[12:15] <un_operateur> kohr_, if you use alsa, at a terminal - asoundconf
[12:15] <BackPacker> emun: You can save to floppy if you want, but why not just save it in your home directory?
[12:15] <kitche>   linux_scholar: kde has more configurablitiy then gnome does
[12:15] <Music_Shuffle> korona, which? And..did you have any luck with it?
[12:15] <ik> im a windows user, but, i want to be better, i want to use linux now, is that posible?
[12:15] <LjL> linux_scholar, is the difference clearer now?
[12:15] <kohr_> un_operateur thanks
[12:15] <TheGateKeeper> linux_scholar, suggest you do some googling on KDE, gnome, xfce, fvwm, enlightenment & fluxbox
[12:15] <Music_Shuffle> ik, get an Ubuntu LiveCD?
[12:15] <Music_Shuffle> And try it out while keeping Windows?
[12:15] <ik> ah ok
[12:16] <emun> ok where is home directory
[12:16] <kitche> emun: /home/user
[12:16] <kane77> stefg, thanx a lot... i had umask set to 007... dunno why :D (probably some james bond stuff) lol
[12:16] <emun> ok,
[12:16] <Music_Shuffle> I almost said Places -> Home. :P
[12:16] <un_operateur> LjL, do you know where can i get some good info on upstart, how it works, how it is different to init, what the different files are, etc?
[12:16] <BackPacker> emun: in the Save As box, where it says "File", just enter /home/emun or whatever your user name is
[12:16] <CientificoLoco> how do I install software for shoutcast? In windows I used to use "WinAmp and its own ShoutCast" ...
[12:16] <kitche> Music_Shuffle: that's ok I have /usr/home/user for mine :P
[12:17] <TheGateKeeper> Music_Shuffle, that is the beauty of livecd's you can try without worrying about what is installed on your hard disk
[12:17] <BackPacker> emun: that should be /home/emun/sudoers, of course
[12:17] <korona> i'm not certain and I didn't have any luck
[12:17] <Music_Shuffle> TheDebugger, I know, I was telling someone else :P
[12:17] <LinAsH> rstanca, krusader has some features to do this
[12:17] <korona> is there any way to install ubuntu via windows
[12:17] <Music_Shuffle> Thanks though. :P
[12:17] <kane77> korona, dont think so...
[12:17] <mnoir> korona: why would you want to?
[12:17] <cwatson> korona: you could install ubuntu into a vm
[12:17] <kane77> korona, why do you want to?
[12:17] <korona> live CD install does not work
[12:17] <LjL> un_operateur: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ maybe
[12:17] <kohr_> un_operateur asoundconf list gives 2 options, neither of wich look like my USB headphones
[12:17] <Music_Shuffle> You can do it through VM, yeah.
[12:18] <TheGateKeeper> korona, you could VMWare
[12:18] <stefg> kane77: i can hear the theme in the background (funnily enough we got a James bond evening on german TV right now, so it's /really/ comming out of my speakers.... :-)
[12:18] <korona> VMware...i'm unaware of what it is
[12:18] <Music_Shuffle> But then its sorta...neutered comparatively.
[12:18] <Music_Shuffle> !vm
[12:18] <tito_linux> I'm trying to boot into a text-only mode, how do I do this from GRUB?
[12:18] <mnoir> korona: then why would installing it thru win work?
[12:18] <ubotu> vm: A mail user agent for Emacs.. In component universe, is optional. Version 7.19-9 (edgy), package size 563 kB, installed size 2652 kB
[12:18] <Music_Shuffle> !vmware
[12:18] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"). Instructions for VMWare Server can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingVMWare
[12:18] <korona> because there are hardware problems with my DVD Rom
[12:18] <rstanca> un_operateur thanks, but that would the same as rar`s split archives, as far as I know split can "split" any file...i want to compress a big file into multiple parts, email it, and extract it, LinAsh krusader is for X i want for command line, thanks anyway
[12:18] <kane77> stefg, so dont forget to set permissions to all files set to 007 :D
[12:18] <TheGateKeeper> korona, enables you to have a guest OS running in a window
[12:18] <un_operateur> kohr_, ahh USB .. you'll need to get them up running first
[12:18] <kitche> korona: vmware server is what you want workstation costs money while the server is free as in beer
[12:18] <korona> I see...
[12:19] <korona> well...VM ware seems like my only solution for now...
[12:19] <korona> unless you have any other suggestions
[12:19] <kohr_> un_operateur i can get sound on it, sound recorder works, gnome-sound-properties test works
[12:19] <kitche> korona: what does the live cd do not boot?
[12:19] <kohr_> un_operateur but i want mplayer and such to output to it also
[12:19] <korona> Live CD boots
[12:20] <korona> just...crashes during the time
[12:20] <korona> when it is asking where I am in the world
[12:20] <korona> it loads the map
[12:20] <LjL> !enter | korona
[12:20] <tito_linux> Does anyone know how to boot into a text-only mode (Edgy Eft) from GRUB?
[12:20] <ubotu> korona: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[12:20] <korona> but fails to load the interface to the point where it is interactive
[12:20] <stefg> kane77: i still prefer defaults,noauto,utf8,umask=007,gid=46 .... so this is james bond, moneypenny, Q and and M at astrike :-)
[12:20] <TheGateKeeper> korona, you can dual boot, another option which I use is to use a caddy system, put 1 OS on one hdd & another one on another hdd
[12:20] <korona> I have my hard drive partitioned into two sections
[12:21] <un_operateur> rstanca, you have to use split in coordination with bzip/gzip ..
[12:21] <Arafangio1> I'm having difficulty getting accelerated 3D to work here, using the official proprietary drivers (ATI)
[12:21] <trilingualkid> what's the apt-get thing to install kde in ubuntu?
[12:21] <TheGateKeeper> korona, well there are other distros too
[12:21] <korona> so...as long as there are no other suggestions I shall go attempt VM Ware
[12:21] <kohr_> un_operateur any suggestions?
[12:21] <un_operateur> kohr_, perhaps this might work -- gnome-sound-properties
[12:21] <tito_linux> korona: Use the alternate CD?
[12:21] <trilingualkid> What's the apt-get command to install KDE?
[12:21] <cwatson> trilingualkid: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[12:21] <un_operateur> kohr_, type that command out at a terminal
[12:21] <korona> I believe its a Hardware issue for me...other CD's have been innefective
[12:22] <trilingualkid> cwatson: thankyou
[12:22] <Arafangio1> The relevant lines of fgl_glxgears are:  Major opcode of failed request:  145 (GLX)
[12:22] <Arafangio1>   Minor opcode of failed request:  5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent)
[12:22] <korona> thank you very much though...
[12:22] <apokryphos> trinkolade: take a look at the FAQ (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions) as linked to in the channel /topic
[12:22] <kohr_> un_operateur i already tried that, i can get sound into the headphones on the test, but when i use a diffrent sound source (mplayer etc) it is from the speakers
[12:22] <apokryphos> trinkolade: it's a good idea to always read the channel topic before speaking in a channel.
[12:22] <X_[Serenade] _X> Isn't that comand  sudo apt-get install KDE
[12:22] <huffy> http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/3.1_r4/i386/iso-cd/ Does anyone know which one i need, im on a laptop with XP :( and ive never done this before
[12:23] <trinkolade> apokryphos, do you want to get killed? Obviously you do...
[12:23] <apokryphos> trinkolade: sorry?
[12:23] <Fudge> hi, why do my ssh sessions timeout to ubuntu?
[12:23] <un_operateur> kohr_, the tests might be working there, but what is the default playback device as listed there?
[12:23] <apokryphos> trinkolade: just be sure to read the channel topic before talking in the channel. Your answer will probably already be there.
[12:24] <X_[Serenade] _X> cwatson: isn't the command for installing KDE sudo apt-get install KDE?
[12:24] <kohr_> un_operateur when i put it on autodetect, it goes to the speakers
[12:24] <n2diy> Fudge, the other box isn't accepting connections?
[12:24] <Arafangion> So, where should I go to try and get ATI to work?
[12:24] <un_operateur> kohr_, what is the default playback device as listed by gnome-sound-properties, is it your USB headphones?
[12:25] <tito_linux> Does anyone know how to boot into a text-only mode (Edgy Eft) from GRUB?
[12:25] <apokryphos> trilingualkid: this channel is for support. Please be civil in it.
[12:25] <trilingualkid> apokryphos: what do you mean?
[12:25] <un_operateur> tito_linux, what do you mean?
[12:25] <BackPacker> tito_linux: I know how I'd go about it, but no guarantees it would work
[12:25] <tito_linux> I need to boot ubuntu in text-only mode, no X server
[12:25] <compu73rg33k> what's ubuntu's client for dhcp?
[12:25] <MarcN> tito_linux: catch the boot (press esc), then edit the kernel line to remove splash also set initlevel to 3 (no x)
[12:26] <kohr_> un_operateur it doesn't list a "default", it has an autodetect, which is the speakers
[12:26] <stefg> !dhclient
[12:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dhclient - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:26] <trilingualkid> apokryphos: what do you mean?
[12:26] <un_operateur> tito_linux, you'll need to disable gdm/kdm from within linux first
[12:26] <BackPacker> tito_linux: And you want to do that every time, or just as a Grub option?
[12:26] <tito_linux> Just once to isntall the Nvidia driver
[12:26] <stefg> !info dhclient
[12:26] <ubotu> Package dhclient does not exist in any distro I know
[12:26] <compu73rg33k> what's the difference between dhclient and dhclient3
[12:26] <apokryphos> trilingualkid: which part of my statement was confusing?
[12:26] <trilingualkid> apokryphos: what do you mean by "civil"?
[12:26] <compu73rg33k> !info dhclient3
[12:26] <ubotu> Package dhclient3 does not exist in any distro I know
[12:26] <BackPacker> tito_linux: then MarcN told you basically how to do it
[12:27] <cypruser> How do I delete a file in Ubuntu?
[12:27] <un_operateur> tito_linux, this ought to disable gdm --  update-rc.d -f gdm remove
[12:27] <stefg> BackPacker: tjhat's probably a part of dhcp-tools
[12:27] <kohr_> un_operateur i spoke to soon
[12:27] <huffy> !netisnt
[12:27] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about netisnt - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:27] <Music_Shuffle> cypruser, right click--> send to trash
[12:27] <BackPacker> stefg: what is?
[12:27] <emun> this directory business is confusing , i put the file on my desktop i can find it later
[12:27] <kohr_> un_operateur i see the default, let me try that
[12:27] <Music_Shuffle> and then empty the trash?
[12:27] <huffy> !binary
[12:27] <trilingualkid> cypruser: you can drag the file to the trash or press delete on your keyboard after clicking on the file.
[12:27] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about binary - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:27] <cypruser> I mean, how do I delete a file in the terminal.
[12:27] <tito_linux> So I change the kernel line by removing splash and adding "initlevel 3" to the end?
[12:27] <compu73rg33k> I moved a harddrive and network card to a new computer
[12:27] <BackPacker> stefg: maybe you meant that last one for someone else
[12:27] <un_operateur> kohr_, what i really meant was you need to set your USB sound device as the default playback device ..
[12:27] <Fudge> is it keepalive in sshd.config to prevent the session timing out?
[12:27] <compu73rg33k> and now the network card isnt' getting an address
[12:27] <kohr_> un_operateur yeah, i did that
[12:27] <daedra> cypruser: sudo rm yourfile.name
[12:28] <lime4x4> has anyone gotten an intel 537Ep modem working in ubuntu-edgy? I've followed several guides all with no luck
[12:28] <kyja> please help me get dual core working
[12:28] <un_operateur> tito_linux, run this command and gdm is not autostarted -- sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove
[12:28] <stefg> BackPacker: yeah, sorry... glitch of mind
[12:28] <sdubois92|afk> hey tito
[12:28] <apokryphos> trilingualkid: hah, apologies. You have a dangerously similar nick to trinkolade
[12:28] <un_operateur> tito_linux, there is no way do disable the gdm from grub itself
[12:28] <kyja> this does not work > sudo apt-get install linux-686-smp
[12:28] <compu73rg33k> oh fucking a, the cat 5 cable wasn't plugged in lmfao
[12:28] <BackPacker> stefg: I get those all the time :-)
[12:28] <crimsun> un_operateur: no, there isn't.
[12:28] <Music_Shuffle> !ohmy
[12:28] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.

[12:28] <ubotu> compu73rg33k: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[12:28] <sdubois92|afk> How do I install Internet Explorer in ubuntu?
[12:28] <Fudge> lol
[12:28] <un_operateur> crimsun, thats what i just said :)
[12:28] <compu73rg33k> sorry for wasting your time haha, and sorry for the language :P
[12:28] <LjL> sdubois92|afk: using WINE.
[12:29] <sdubois92|afk> i just want to go on the internet
[12:29] <kohr_> un_operateur i am trying to, but when i switch tabs in the sound manager, it goes back to my laptop sound card
[12:29] <sdubois92|afk> so i need internet explorer
[12:29] <Phr34Ck> Okay it worked on another computer ... So it wasn't working on my laptop?
[12:29] <LjL> sdubois92|afk: ...? no.
[12:29] <apokryphos> in which case, trinkolade: this channel is for support. Please be civil in it.
[12:29] <kitche> sdubois92|afk: why not use firefox?
[12:29] <n2diy> sdubois92|afk: you are on the internet.
[12:29] <crimsun> un_operateur: you may wish to point him to /etc/X11/default-display-manager, since an upgrade of gdm will recreate those symlinks.
[12:29] <sdubois92|afk> i dont get it
[12:29] <humbolto>  do UDP packages have a source address?
[12:29] <Phr34Ck> My laptop specs are: Intel Centrino 1.7 Ghz, 512 mb of rams, Ati X600 64mb, IDE hdd ...
[12:29] <sdubois92|afk> i thought internet explorer was the internet
[12:30] <un_operateur> crimsun, i think he just wants to temporarily disable gdm anyway, just to install his graphics driver
[12:30] <cypruser> How do I delete a directory?
[12:30] <LjL> sdubois92|afk: obviously you thought wrong.
[12:30] <kohr_> sdubois92 go to a terminal and type firefox, lol
[12:30] <LjL> cypruser: man rmdir
[12:30] <einPaul> Guys... I removed the part of the taskbar that shows the small icons of running programs (gaim, xchat, etc.). How do I get it back?
[12:30] <Fudge> rm -rf
[12:30] <trinkolade> apokryphos, yes, no problem, but could you please stop highlighting me?
[12:30] <LjL> Ubotu, tell cypruser about cli | cypruser, see the private message from Ubotu
[12:30] <un_operateur> kohr_, one sec
[12:30] <sdubois92|afk> UBUNTU sucks
[12:30] <Intelligitimate> How do I combine mp4 files in Ubuntu?
[12:30] <BackPacker> cypruser: use a file manager, or use the rmdir command
[12:30] <kohr_> sdubois92 how did you manage to install ubuntu?
[12:30] <crimsun> einPaul: add the notification area back to the panel.
[12:30] <kohr_> lol
[12:31] <kitche> should have seen that coming
[12:31] <Music_Shuffle> Heheh
[12:31] <Music_Shuffle> A troll much? =/
[12:31] <breezy> is there any way for me to browse through apt-get's history, like the way I can with synaptic?
[12:31] <einPaul> crimsun, Thanks!!
[12:31] <dm> Hey guys how do i clean up the "OPEN WITH" section , i have so many custom commands in there its ridiculous
[12:31] <un_operateur> kohr_, in your gnome-sound-properties, don't you get a drop down-menu for "Sound Playback" to choose from the available devices on your system??
[12:31] <einPaul> now: does anyone know a good ftp client that supports multiple threads for one file?
[12:31] <crimsun> breezy: not unless you look at aptitude's or dpkg's directly, no.
[12:32] <breezy> crimsun: how do I look at the aptitude history?
[12:32] <kohr_> sdubois92 yes, there is that, and a test button next to that
[12:32] <crimsun> breezy: have you been using aptitude?
[12:32] <Genius314> how do I create a theme for firefox? I can't paste any folders or .jar files into the firefox folder; it says I don't have access to the folder because I don't own it.
[12:32] <kohr_> sdubois92 on the sounds tab there is a default sound card setting
[12:32] <un_operateur> einPaul, quite obviously the FTP server you use that with will have to support "multi-threading" too .. but i dont think there are any
[12:32] <Arafangion> So, how do I get 3D Accel using ATI?
[12:32] <Intelligitimate> How do I combine mp4 files in Ubuntu?
[12:32] <Bstor> hey guys
[12:33] <stefg> !ati | Arafangion
[12:33] <ubotu> Arafangion: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:33] <Bstor> can you write to NTFS  thru ubuntu
[12:33] <Bstor> at all
[12:33] <Arafangion> Apparently, one has to disable composite and all sorts of shit, HOW do I find this info out?
[12:33] <einPaul> un_operateur I'm pretty sure it does
[12:33] <kohr_> sdubois92 which keeps changing back to my sound card whenever i set it to the headphones
[12:33] <un_operateur> !ntfs-3g > Bstor
[12:33] <Arafangion> stefg: Thanks, giving that a look now. :)
[12:33] <stefg> !ntfs | Bstor
[12:33] <ubotu> Bstor: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - See also !fuse
[12:33] <kitche> Arafangion: what window manager are you using?
[12:33] <PriceChild> !language | Arafangion
[12:33] <ubotu> Arafangion: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[12:33] <Arafangion> kitche: Gnome.
[12:33] <Intelligitimate> Bstor, I think there is a program called NTFS Fusion or something that does it.
[12:33] <stefg> !fuse | Bstor
[12:33] <ubotu> Bstor: Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[12:33] <kitche> Arafangion: also are you using XGL?
[12:33] <kitche> Arafangion: ok so your using metacity
[12:34] <un_operateur> einPaul, you're pretty sure but not definite, can you show me a FTP server that supports that functionality?
[12:34] <Arafangion> kitche: It's a default install of Ubuntu Edgy, plus vmware
[12:34] <kitche> !ati|Arafangion this tells you how to enable 3d acc for ati cards
[12:34] <ubotu> Arafangion this tells you how to enable 3d acc for ati cards: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:34] <Intelligitimate> How do I combine mp4 files in Ubuntu?
[12:34] <Arafangion> I've actually already installed and am currently using the ATI drivers.
[12:34] <breezy> crimsun: not really. I used apt-get install xubuntu-desktop,  but now I've changed my mind and I want to go back to the basic server setup
[12:34] <kohr_> un_operateur on the sounds tab there is a default sound card setting
[12:34] <fowler> Intelligitimate,  Try mencoder
[12:35] <tito_linux> In trying to boot into text only removing splash and adding "3" or "initlevel 3" still booted X. I went into the ""system recovery" mode instead, can I install the nvidia drivers from here/
[12:35] <tito_linux> ?
[12:35] <kohr_> un_operateur which keeps changing back to my sound card whenever i set it to the headphones
[12:35] <crimsun> kohr_: use asoundconf directly from a Terminal.
[12:35] <Genius314> Where do I put .jar files for a firefox theme?
[12:35] <kitche> Arafangion: installing the driver doesn't mean your using 3d acc type in glxinfo|grep rendering and see if it says yes or no
[12:35] <un_operateur> kohr_, do you have a "Devices" tab?
[12:35] <crimsun> breezy: then the log won't be of any use to you.
[12:35] <stefg> Arafangion: then it's time to write an 'unsatisfied customer'-complaint to the ATI-dev's :-)
[12:35] <Intelligitimate> What commands, fowler?
[12:35] <Bstor> thanks stefg
[12:35] <kohr_> un_operateur yes, i do have that tab
[12:35] <Arafangion> kitche: Yeah, it's still using mesa.
[12:36] <kohr_> un_operateur i tried mplayer, and it says this: alsa-init: 1 soundcard found, using: default
[12:36] <BackPacker> tito_linux: as long as you don't need Internet access, you should be able to install the drivers
[12:36] <eztk> http://www.istartedsomething.com.nyud.net:8080/20061227/microsoft-free-ferrari/
[12:36] <einPaul> well un_operateur, I can't, but is it not possible to resume on ftp? this would mean that you can set different threads to start downloading at different parts of the file... Or am I wrong on this?
[12:36] <un_operateur> kohr_, under that tab, do you have a menu for "Sound Playback" ?
[12:36] <fowler> Intelligitimate,  not sure - only used it a bit but -oac copy and -ovc copy might do the trick - read manaul
[12:36] <cypruser> Whenever I use the "rmdir" command, it always says that the directory is not empty.
[12:36] <eztk> lol, free laptops from microsoft...
[12:36] <eztk> money buys love, so it seems.. lol
[12:36] <dm> eztk what?
[12:36] <mwe> cypruser: use rm -rf instead
[12:36] <kohr_> un_operateur yes, i set it to the USB audio
[12:36] <fowler> cypruser,   rm -rf BE CAREFUL
[12:36] <eztk> dm: read it.. some bloggers given laptops
[12:36] <cypruser> Why should I be careful?
[12:36] <kitche> Arafangion: thent hat driver how to should help out sicne there is a section that says how to get 3d acceleration going for ATI
[12:36] <dm> eztk i was just shocked when you put free and microsoft in the same sentence
[12:36] <mwe> cypruser: what fowler says as well. there is no going back
[12:37] <fowler> because rm -rf / mydir as a type will nuke your system
[12:37] <fowler> err typo
[12:37] <Arafangion> kitche: http://rafb.net/p/KFXxaM71.html
[12:37] <cypruser> Oh. That's alright.
[12:37] <breezy> crimsun: do you know of any way I could roll back to the server setup w/o doing a complete re-install?
[12:37] <Arafangion> kitche: I am using the fglrx driver.
[12:37] <flyinghippo_> Hello.
[12:37] <crimsun> kohr_: what's the output from ``grep defaults.pcm.card ~/.asoundrc.asoundconf''?
[12:37] <un_operateur> einPaul, well, good point but most public FTP servers ban multiple connections from a single client (which is what i was getting at)
[12:37] <flyinghippo_> Is this the appropriate channel to ask questions?
[12:37] <shaggs> hey guys why cant i put an image into the usr/share/pixmaps folder
[12:37] <mwe> fowler: I actually did that once. hit ctrl-c when I realized it but /bin and stuff was gone. had to reinstall
[12:37] <cypruser> flyinghippo_: Yes.
[12:37] <flyinghippo_> Okay.
[12:37] <crimsun> breezy: use dpkg's log
[12:37] <kitche> Arafangion: yes but you have to do steps to get #D acceleration which the steps are on that howto
[12:37] <dm> Hey guys how do i clean up the "OPEN WITH" section , i have so many custom commands in there its ridiculous
[12:37] <flyinghippo_> In that case...
[12:37] <eztk> dm: LOL, well, we know they expect something back in return... you're right. nothing comes for free with them. the charitable work in africa is to buy future market space .. thats all, to influence nations,create a healthy population in time for future microsoft sales
[12:37] <BackPacker> flyinghippo_:  you just did
[12:37] <Arafangion> stefg: That's such a tired old joke :(
[12:37] <einPaul> ok, so you mean actual servers...
[12:38] <un_operateur> kohr_, and after setting the device there, does it not stick?
[12:38] <einPaul> un_operateur
[12:38] <flyinghippo_> My laptop has a resolution of 1280x800, and I tried editing xorg.conf to add it, but it's not working.
[12:38] <kd7swh> does anybody know if the iPod will play XviD files with Lame\MP3 audio?
[12:38] <rexxkwando> I have a new desktop with a linksys wmp11 wifi card in it, but no luck yet connecting... what can I do?
[12:38] <flyinghippo_> Is there any way to get this to work/
[12:38] <Genius314> Folder Properties>Permissions tells me "You are not the owner, so you can't change these permissions"
[12:38] <kohr_> un_operateur that sticks but it doesn't seem to affect mplayer
[12:38] <fowler> flyinghippo,    you need 915resolution
[12:38] <crimsun> un_operateur: we know about that issue; that's why I'm asking him to provide me output.
[12:38] <flyinghippo_> 915resolution?
[12:38] <fowler> flyinghippo,  it patches the video bios to add that mode
[12:38] <dm> eztk  haha so true, sad,... but very true
[12:38] <flyinghippo_> Okay.
[12:38] <stefg> Arafangion: that's not a joke, but a sad fact of life.... ATI drivers for linux are sub-satndard....
[12:38] <un_operateur> crimsun, sorry, i dont follow?
[12:39] <fowler> flyinghippo,  let me guess - laptop with GMA 950?
[12:39] <Arafangion> stefg: jokes aren't neccessary fictional.
[12:39] <racarr> !xinerama
[12:39] <flyinghippo_> I guess so.
[12:39] <ubotu> xinerama is using multiple monitors as one big monitor. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo
[12:39] <shaggs> ah file permisions are set to root
[12:39] <crimsun> un_operateur: the applet issue selecting the default sound card that doesn't "stick"
[12:39] <fowler> flyinghippo,  apt-get install or use synaptic and you should be fine
[12:39] <kd7swh> ATI drivers are sub-standard anyway
[12:39] <flyinghippo_> It's a laptop.
[12:39] <flyinghippo_> I don't know aobut the GMA 950 thing.
[12:39] <kohr_> crimsun, the output is !defaults.pcm.card default
[12:39] <stefg> Arafangion: get me! this is not joking
[12:39] <tony__> yo
[12:39] <un_operateur> kohr_, how about the menu for "Music and Movies", tried that?
[12:39] <Arafangion> kitche: Looks like I was _very_ close to this!
[12:39] <tony__> question
[12:39] <crimsun> kohr_: and what's the output from ``asoundconf list''?
[12:39] <fowler> flyinghippo,  it's an intel graphics card
[12:39] <un_operateur> crimsun, asoundconf wasnt listing his USB sound device --
[12:39] <Arafangion> stefg: My mistake, I thought it was black humour. :)
[12:39] <tony__> which is better 5.10 or 6.10?
[12:39] <breezy> crimsun: what cmd do I issue? "sudo dpkg [?] " ?
[12:40] <tony__> ubuntu
[12:40] <crimsun> breezy: no, read the dpkg log.
[12:40] <flyinghippo_> Okay.
[12:40] <kohr_> crimsun, it doesn't list my USB device
[12:40] <shaggs> so how do i change the folder permisions
[12:40] <flyinghippo_> I'll check it out.
[12:40] <Arafangion> tony__: The one that works. :)
[12:40] <stefg> Arafangion: in fact it was... errr... soe in between
[12:40] <killown> does anyone know of a link to watch live tv ?
[12:40] <fowler> flyinghippo,  the problem of not getting 1280x800 is common on the gma950. happens on my acer
[12:40] <kitche> Arafangion: I would tell you the steps exactly but that howto has the steps anyways and I won't touch an ATI in Linux anyways to hard to get working
[12:40] <LjL> tony__: don't use 5.10. use either 6.06 or 6.10
[12:40] <flyinghippo_> Is this patch accessible on Synaptic?
[12:40] <crimsun> kohr_: did you disconnect it without unloading the driver first?
[12:40] <n2diy> tony_, 6.06
[12:40] <LjL> tony__: 6.06 is LTS, 6.10 is not.
[12:40] <tony__> it's the only version that won't freeze
[12:40] <tony__> on my laptop
[12:40] <fowler> flyinghippo,  was for me
[12:40] <kohr_> un_operateur i set all of those to usb on that page
[12:40] <tony__> I've tried 6.06 and 6.10
[12:40] <flyinghippo> o_O
[12:40] <tony__> and I get random freezes
[12:40] <Arafangion> kitche: I already tried disabling the composite extension, but I used "false" instead of "disable", maybe that'll work :)
[12:40] <kd7swh> tony_, 6.10 is good stuff
[12:40] <flyinghippo> This is the same place?
[12:40] <flyinghippo> I'll be right back.
[12:40] <fowler> I have multiverse and universe enabled
[12:40] <flyinghippo_> Okay.
[12:40] <tony__> went back to 5.10 and it worked
[12:41] <TC`> which iso ubuntu i need for the laptop with intel core 2 duo T7200 (2ghz, 4mb cache)
[12:41] <tito_linux> I downloaded the Nvidia driver with WGET from the recovery mode, when I run the installer it says it cannot install properly in runlevel one. I have also tried "telinit" from the recovery mode to all runlevels (1-5) and each boots X
[12:41] <tony__> could it be the cds were bad maybe?
[12:41] <TC`> 64?
[12:41] <TC`> bit
[12:41] <n2diy> tony_, how much RAM is on your system?
[12:41] <killown> does anyone know of a link to watch live tv ?
[12:41] <kohr_> crimsun, i didn't upload any driver that i know of
[12:41] <tony__> 2GB
[12:41] <TC`> or defoult
[12:41] <TC`> PC (Intel x86) desktop CD
[12:41] <TC`>     For almost all PCs. This includes most machines with Intel/AMD/etc type processors and almost all computers that run Microsoft Windows. Choose this if you are at all unsure.
[12:41] <kitche> TC`: you want x86_64 or x86?
[12:41] <kd7swh> anyone own a video ipod?
[12:41] <crimsun> kohr_: not upload. Unload.
[12:41] <un_operateur> kohr_, hmm strange, maybe muting your speakers in the volume control helps?
[12:41] <tony__> P4 w/ HT
[12:41] <TC`> kitche, i don't know, i'm geting tomorow new laptop
[12:41] <fowler> Anyone run an Edgy 32 bit chroot inside Edgy AMD64 here?
[12:41] <nix_ferret> Anyone here use pornview?
[12:41] <stefg> tito_linux: have you any particular reason not to use the drivers available from ubuntu?
[12:41] <BackPacker> tito_linux: try removing any links to gdm (or kdm) from one of the /etc/rcX.d directories, then boot to that runlevel
[12:41] <LjL> tony__: could be, but you can check the CDs, they come with an integrity checker. look at the boot menu.
[12:41] <TC`> i don't know much about architecture
[12:41] <tony__> yea
[12:41] <Genius314> Where do I copy a firefox theme to? Do I copy the .jar file, or unzip it?
[12:41] <kohr_> nix_ferret i do
[12:42] <BackPacker> tito_linux: rather than remove the links, just temporarily rename them
[12:42] <tony__> is there
[12:42] <tony__> a way
[12:42] <nix_ferret> does it do video too?
[12:42] <kd7swh> I have played around with pornview but xnview is better
[12:42] <tony__> to upgrade to 6.10
[12:42] <crimsun> kohr_: there's an issue where, if you disconnect a usb sound device without first unloading the usb audio driver, you cannot use any usb audio devices again until you unload the driver and reload it.
[12:42] <kitche> TC`: well x86 will run good on x86_64 since x86_64 doesn't really have a lot of support right now for flash java and couple other programs
[12:42] <tony__> without reinstalling?
[12:42] <kohr_> nix_ferret yes
[12:42] <tito_linux> stfg: My graphics card is weird and allways gives a messed up screen with dummy drivers, only commercial works
[12:42] <tony__> like through my current distro?
[12:42] <un_operateur> tito_linux, you need to be in the proper runlevel for that -- i.e. runlevel 2
[12:42] <nix_ferret> hmmm, ok, thx
[12:42] <mwe> Genius314: you install it from within firefox
[12:42] <LjL> tony__: yes, but there's nothing that guarantees that your system won't break, given it breaks if you use the CD...
[12:42] <un_operateur> tito_linux, why dont you just disable gdm dude?
[12:42] <LjL> !enter | tony__

[12:42] <kohr_> crimsun, well, it works kind of, it works perfectly for sound recorder
[12:42] <kd7swh> nix_ferret, I have played around with pornview but xnview is better
[12:42] <TC`> kitche , so you sugest to install x86 and wait for those things?
[12:42] <tito_linux> How do I disable GDM? From the recovery mode?
[12:43] <mwe> Genius314: tools->add ons->themes
[12:43] <kiyomaro>  
[12:43] <apokryphos> tito_linux: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[12:43] <un_operateur> tito_linux, first boot up nomally
[12:43] <TC`> on x86_64
[12:43] <kitche> TC`: yeah at least with x86 you don't have to mess with the system alot
[12:43] <crimsun> kohr_: what's the output from ``cat /proc/asound/cards''?

[12:43] <Genius314> mwe: How? All I see is the standard skin, and I don't see a "browse" option or anything.
[12:43] <crimsun> kohr_: it's not going to work for alsa unless it's listed there.
[12:43] <nix_ferret> cool, I'll check it out, kd7swh.
[12:43] <LjL> tony__: have you tried booting with some of the "standard troubleshooting" kernel parameters? noapic, acpi=off..
[12:43] <apokryphos> tito_linux: give us a litlte more info

[12:44] <tito_linux> My graphics card never works with the Open Source Nvidia drivers, I can't see a thing. So I need to isntall the commercial ones from a command line.
[12:44] <stefg> tito_linux: try 'sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` nvidia-glx && sudo nvidia-glx-config enable' . then restart X (ctrl-alt-backspace) and see waht 'glxinfo | grep direct' gives...
[12:44] <flyinghippo> Now that I've installed 915resolution, what needs to be done?
[12:44] <mwe> Genius314: tools->add ons->themes->get themes. or file->open and browse to the file you downloaded provided it's a valid theme file
[12:44] <kohr_> crimsun, it is listed there
[12:44] <pm2> Hi - I'm using the latest evaluation of workstation on a Kubuntu Linux host and trying Win2k as a guest.  All seems to be going well, but I'm having trouble getting my iPod to mount under Windows.  Nothing shows up in vm->removable devices->USB after I plug the iPod in.  Any thoughts?
[12:44] <eztk> dm: well, everyone else is like.. awwww how cool man, good old billy is doing charity work in africa... blah blah blah.. but the guy is thinking strategically, its all an investment for the future of his company
[12:44] <un_operateur> tito_linux, which is what we'd like you to do -- get to the command line :)
[12:44] <crimsun> kohr_: then it should be listed in the output of ``asoundconf list''.
[12:44] <flyinghippo> Never mind.
[12:44] <fowler> flyinghippo,  restart X
[12:44] <flyinghippo> I found something on it.
[12:44] <flyinghippo> Okay.
[12:44] <flyinghippo> Thanks.
[12:44] <eztk> dm: its like goverments giving aid, etc
[12:44] <kohr_> crimsun, as the default, i think
[12:44] <fowler> flyinghippo,  did it work?
[12:44] <Aardwolf> !package
[12:44] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about package - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:44] <dm> eztk i never really minded Bill, i just dont like Windows with a passion
[12:44] <flyinghippo> Is there a quick command to kill X?
[12:45] <eztk> eztk: its for future arms sales, contracts, exports, etc
[12:45] <kyja> please help me get dual core working
[12:45] <kyja> this does not work > sudo apt-get install linux-686-smp
[12:45] <apokryphos> stefg: glxinfo|grep direct is really not an indication that the drivers are installed, it's just an indication that direct rendering (RenderAccel) option is turned on.
[12:45] <fowler> ctrl alt backspace
[12:45] <LjL> Ubotu, tell Aardwolf about packages | Aardwolf, see the private message from Ubotu

[12:45] <crimsun> kohr_: mplayer -ao alsa  should work
[12:45] <tito_linux> Do I use the command line in the recovery mode?
[12:45] <kd7swh> nix_ferret, http://perso.orange.fr/pierre.g/xnview/endownloadlinux.html
[12:45] <mwe> Genius314: usually the theme will automatically install when you download it if it's a valid theme file
[12:45] <eztk> dm: well, i know.. but to use charity for your own selfish purposes??
[12:45] <crimsun> kohr_: (in fact, it should work without it)

[12:45] <shaggs> umm how do i change to be root in gui
[12:45] <LjL> !offtopic | dm, eztk
[12:45] <ubotu> dm, eztk: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[12:45] <un_operateur> crimsun, but mplayer will already be using alsa no?
[12:45] <dm> eztk just look at all the other companies that do it :P
[12:45] <apokryphos> shaggs: take a look at the FAQ (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions) as linked to in the channel /topic
[12:45] <kitche> flugheim: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop if you want X to be shutdown completely and not restarted
[12:45] <stefg> apokryphos: i know, but for the nvidia drivers it's an easy way of verifying that nvidia, not nv is used
[12:45] <flyinghippo> Okay.
[12:45] <crimsun> kohr_: right. Keep in mind that usb audio is not dmixed by default; you cannot play multiple sounds by default without creating an asoundrc.
[12:45] <BackPacker> shaggs: what is it you want to do?
[12:45] <flyinghippo> I don't think it worked.  :\
[12:46] <crimsun> un_operateur: see above :)
[12:46] <apokryphos> stefg: it's not if the option isn't enabled.
[12:46] <dm> Hey guys how do i clean up the "OPEN WITH" section , i have so many custom commands in there its ridiculous
[12:46] <un_operateur> crimsun, aye, i saw above, which is why i asked :)
[12:46] <mwe> !sudo | shaggs
[12:46] <ubotu> shaggs: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[12:46] <kitche> flyinghippo: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop if you want X to be shutdown completely and not restarted
[12:46] <Genius314> mwe: Thanks. I'll figure this out later.
[12:46] <shaggs> backpacker i am trying to put a file into a folder that is root owned
[12:46] <eztk> dm: i know. anyway, wrists have been slapped.. LOL, better join that other channel
[12:46] <flyinghippo> I'd like to know the command that reconfigures X.
[12:47] <fowler> flyinghippo, try  sudo /etc/init.d/915resolution start         and reload X or just reboot the machine
[12:47] <nix_ferret> kd7swh, do you do the tar.gz or d/l the rpm and convert to deb?
[12:47] <kohr_> crimsun,  so... how do i make an asoundrc then?
[12:47] <flyinghippo> Okay.
[12:47] <BackPacker> shaggs: open a console and enter "sudo cp filename /directory"
[12:47] <Vuen> hey guys, i'm converting a windows user over to ubuntu; what's a foss alternative to microsoft frontpage?
[12:47] <dm> eztk lol dont mind LJL, hes just trying to keep it from being complete spam in here
[12:47] <mwe> shaggs: read what I suggested please
[12:47] <BackPacker> shaggs: Obviously, change the filename and directory to suit
[12:47] <matt1982> i have a copy of ubuntu 6.06 would it be easy to update it to 6.10 if i install it?
[12:47] <crimsun> kohr_: see the asoundrc & dmix sections on alsa.opensrc.org
[12:47] <apokryphos> flyinghippo: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:47] <tito_linux> stefg: i can't install that from the recovery mode, it says I need to switch to runlevel 3. But when I do telinit 3 it starts graphically
[12:47] <LjL> shaggs: and that's a good enough reason to do something as dangerous as logging in as root in X? not ;-) just do alt+f2 and "gksudo nautilus". that's dangerous enough already, don't make it *more* so :)
[12:48] <kohr_> crimsun,  then it should work?
[12:48] <crimsun> tito_linux: that's because Ubuntu, like Debian, doesn't play silly runlevel games. 2-5 are identical.
[12:48] <Vuen> matt1982: yes, but you'll need to download like 450 megs of updates. it's easier just to download, burn and install 6.10
[12:48] <un_operateur> tito_linux, you cannot install your graphics driver in recovery mode because most of the services needed to install software are not started then
[12:48] <crimsun> kohr_: if you create it correctly, yes.
[12:48] <n2diy> matt1982: How much linux experience do you have?
[12:48] <cynical> Vuen: http://www.nvu.com/screenshots.php
[12:48] <apokryphos> tito_linux: no need to change the runlevel manually, go through gdm.
[12:48] <matt1982> n2diy: a little mainly suse but that is playing up and i fancy a change
[12:48] <tito_linux> apokryphos: I do this from the recovery mode?
[12:48] <matt1982> is xgl + compiz possible on ubuntu?
[12:48] <un_operateur> tito_linux, please start-up in normal mode -- it doesnt matter if X starts or not -- once startup is complete -- press CTRL+ALt+F1 to get to the command line
[12:49] <Aardwolf> apt-cache search kwrite
[12:49] <tito_linux> un_operateur. OK; but I can't tell when it is complete, I'll try though
[12:49] <Aardwolf> "apt-cache search kwrite"
[12:49] <apokryphos> tito_linux: you don't need to, no. If you want X to be shut-down use what I said above.
[12:49] <n2diy> matt1982: Personally, I'd just install 6.06, and what for the next stable release next year.
[12:49] <stefg> tito_linux: we're not talking about the nvidia *.run file here. this is apt stuff, which works fro console or from X
[12:49] <apokryphos> Aardwolf: ?
[12:49] <matt1982> kk cheers
[12:49] <apokryphos> matt1982: of course.
[12:49] <apokryphos> !xgl | matt1982
[12:49] <ubotu> matt1982: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - Help in #ubuntu-xgl - See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[12:49] <Arafangio1> matt1982: Realise that the answer to any question with the term "possible" is generally "yes".
[12:49] <BackPacker> Aardwolf: that works better in a console :-)
[12:49] <un_operateur> tito_linux, well, give it a few minutes , that should be a good enough guess
[12:49] <Vuen> cynical: beautiful, thanks
[12:50] <Aardwolf> I saw you guys search with the bot somehow earlier, if I remember correctly...
[12:50] <mwe> maybe he was looking for !find
[12:50] <mwe> !find kwrite
[12:50] <ubotu> File kwrite found in kate
[12:50] <apokryphos> kwrite comes with kdebase
[12:50] <apokryphos> but kate is better :)
[12:50] <un_operateur> !info kwrite
[12:50] <ubotu> Package kwrite does not exist in any distro I know
[12:50] <kohr_> crimsun,  can i set it to be headphones when i plug in the headphones, but be speakers otherwise?
[12:51] <apokryphos> ubotu: info kate
[12:51] <ubotu> kate: advanced text editor for KDE. In component main, is optional. Version 4:3.5.5-0ubuntu3.2 (edgy), package size 776 kB, installed size 2224 kB
[12:51] <Aardwolf> thanks

[12:51] <Nergar> where can i get ubuntu support in spanish?
[12:51] <un_operateur> mwe, and? :)
[12:51] <apokryphos> !es | Nergar
[12:51] <ubotu> Nergar: Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendrn mas ayuda.
[12:51] <crimsun> kohr_: not yet. We don't have that functionality yet.
[12:51] <n2diy> ubotu: spanish
[12:51] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendrn mas ayuda.
[12:51] <Nergar> thanx
[12:51] <kohr_> crimsun,  cause thats the way normal headphones work from the headphone jack
[12:52] <shaggs> ok so ubuntu wont let you just drag and drop files into certain folders
[12:52] <mwe> shaggs: it will
[12:52] <reiki> finally figured out my grub problem... wasn't grub at all. It was that darn UUID in fstab. I changed it to a normal device  name and everything went perfectly
[12:52] <mwe> shaggs: but not if you don't have permission
[12:52] <tito_linux> un_operateur: When I boot into normal I get a garbled image on the screen. Ctrl + alt + f1 did nothing to it.
[12:52] <stefg> kohr_: headphone/speaker selection isn't controlled by *software* ... normally it's a physical switch in the headphone jack
[12:52] <shaggs> mwe how do i get permission
[12:53] <mwe> shaggs: in linux users cannot go about making a mess all over the system
[12:53] <defiant> How many of you got a migraine when dealing with ubuntu for the first time
[12:53] <apokryphos> shaggs: what are you trying to do?
[12:53] <n2diy> reiki: good job.
[12:53] <mwe> shaggs: what are you trying to do?
[12:53] <BackPacker> shaggs: you can use the 'sudo' command in a console
[12:53] <BackPacker> shaggs: that give you root privileges for that one command
[12:53] <un_operateur> tito_linux, try that combo twice in a row or if that fails .. try one of CTRL+ALT+F2-F6
[12:53] <breezy> crimsun: ok, I've opened up /var/log/dpkg.log ... how do I use this to uninstall xubuntu-desktop and its dependencies?
[12:54] <shaggs> i can use sudo in console but that is a bit long winded i think
[12:54] <apokryphos> shaggs: what is it that you are you trying to do?
[12:54] <mwe> shaggs: please go ahead and read the page about sudo now! it's not long
[12:54] <crimsun> breezy: read the log backward beginning from the bottom/end, and remove the packages.
[12:54] <kohr_> crimsun,  it says this on the site you gave me: NOTE: For ALSA 1.0.9rc2 and higher you don't need to setup dmix.
[12:54] <mefisto__> could someone take a look at this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1552286#post1552286 It says I need to untar a file to the Mplayer-sources/libavcodec/ directory. Where is that directory found?
[12:54] <n2diy> shaggs, sudo nautilus will bring up the graphical file browser.
[12:54] <un_operateur> breezy, see the "remove xubuntu" section here -- http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome
[12:54] <crimsun> kohr_: we have not enabled dmix for usb audio devices.
[12:54] <apokryphos> n2diy: please only advise gksudo/kdesu for graphical applications
[12:54] <apokryphos> !gksudo
[12:54] <ubotu> If you need to run graphical applications as root, use gksudo, as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Avoid ever using "sudo <GUI-application>"
[12:55] <tito_linux> un_operateur: None of those did anything
[12:55] <cypruser> What's the command to move/cut/copy a file in the Terminal?
[12:55] <apokryphos> !cl | cypruser
[12:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cl - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:55] <mwe> n2diy: don't tell him to do that. always use gksudo with gui apps or your perms might get screwed
[12:55] <apokryphos> !cli | cypruser
[12:55] <ubotu> cypruser: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[12:55] <BackPacker> cypruser: copy: cp, move: mv
[12:55] <un_operateur> tito_linux, you sure you tried CTRL+ALT+F1 (all together) twice in quick succession?
[12:55] <stefg> !bash | cypruser
[12:55] <n2diy> apokryphos: roger.
[12:55] <tito_linux> un_operateur: Positive. The first time I did it it altered the mangled image slightly
[12:56] <mwe> !gksudo
[12:56] <ubotu> If you need to run graphical applications as root, use gksudo, as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Avoid ever using "sudo <GUI-application>"

[12:58] <apokryphos> matt1982: yup

[01:00] <MybJames> hello?
[01:00] <matt1982> apokkryphos: just had a quick scan of it but im unsure how that helps me press next because the screen is too small, do you have a more precise place i should look? thanks
[01:00] <flyinghippo> Ah, sorry.
[01:00] <MybJames> how can i register my channel with chanserv
[01:00] <kohr_> chirp chirp
[01:00] <kohr_> crimsun,  this looks really complicated
[01:00] <Arafangion>  /msg chanserv help
[01:00] <kitche> MybJames: offtopic but look at freenode's FAQ
[01:01] <stefg> MybJames: /j #freenode
[01:01] <adam_> hi, i need help regarding themes in xgl/compiz
[01:01] <crimsun> kohr_: it's not.

[01:01] <un_operateur> tito_linux, instead of resetting the password there, you need to delete /etc/rc2.d/S13gdm file and the reboot
[01:01] <Arafangion> stefg: How many weeks does it usually take for one to get voice in there?
[01:01] <apokryphos> depends on if you talk, if you know staffers there
[01:01] <mwe> un_operateur: why would he chroot to do that? why not just do it in single user mode?
[01:01] <cypruser> Why do I need a CD-ROM for VMware Player?
[01:02] <un_operateur> mwe, he will be in single user mode
[01:02] <mwe> un_operateur: you obviously don't know what chroot does
[01:02] <sushi_> cypruser: edit the machine settings and remove the CDROM virtual device
[01:02] <kitche> cypruser: you don't but what cd is it asking for?
[01:02] <un_operateur> mwe, I think i do, tyvm for the concern
[01:03] <kohr_> crimsun,  I accidentally unplugged the headphones, and now it can't find the card
[01:03] <stefg> Arafangion: that's intentional :-) they want you to read the FAQ and /topic .... somethig which isn't enforced too much in here :-)
[01:03] <tito_linux> un_operateur: So I go into recovery mode and do "rm -rf /etc/rc2.d/S13gdm" right?
[01:03] <sushi_> cypruser: you made need a CD to install an operating system on vmware
[01:03] <un_operateur> tito_linux, but remember to chroot into the mounted / first
[01:03] <cypruser> sushi_: You do?!
[01:03] <crimsun> kohr_: kill $(lsof -t /dev/snd/* /dev/dsp*) && sudo modprobe -r snd-usb-audio
[01:03] <un_operateur> tito_linux, yes, thats quite right
[01:03] <kitche> sushi_: vmware player just uses a hard drive disk
[01:03] <mwe> un_operateur: why would he chroot? why not just delete the links?
[01:04] <kohr_> crimsun,  thanks
[01:04] <sushi_> How do I reset my Gnome sessions to default?
[01:04] <tito_linux> How do I chroot?
[01:04] <sushi_> kitche: ah I use server
[01:04] <Arafangion> stefg: Do you always talk tongue-in-cheek?
[01:04] <Arafangion> stefg: Or do you just not realise it? ;)
[01:04] <mwe> tito_linux: you don't need to chroot
[01:04] <breezy> un_operateur: wow that's a long list. thanks.
[01:04] <un_operateur> tito_linux, it's explained there on the page
[01:04] <stefg> Arafangion: that was in bold voice... no tongue-in-cheek
[01:04] <apokryphos> sushi_: I don't use gnome but I presume you can do something like mv ~/.gnome2{,_old} && mv ~/.gnome{,_old}
[01:04] <kitche> sushi_: yeah I tend to but making a hard drive disk isn't hard if you find a good readme
[01:05] <Intelligitimate> I can't get mencoder to join my mp4 files correctly.
[01:05] <flyinghippo> Okay, I ran 915resolution.  However, now my resolution is still in a 4:3 resolution.
[01:05] <Arafangion> stefg: :)  I must get ready for a new day.
[01:05] <sushi_> apokryphos: that's what I thought I should try, thanks!
[01:05] <adam_> how do i change theme in compiz? :S
[01:05] <NegativeSpace> Is there anything for Linux to remove DRM from media files?
[01:05] <shaggs> n2diy thanks
[01:05] <sushi_> kitche: like an iso?
[01:05] <mwe> chrooting to delete some symlinks is the dumbest thing I've heard today

[01:06] <un_operateur> breezy, sorry, what was that for again, i forget?
[01:06] <slack_baphomet> anyone know of a good app for making a slideshow on dvd/vcd for viewing pictures
[01:06] <sushi_> flyinghippo: 915resolution never worked for me either - have you installed the video drivers ?  What card do you have ?
[01:06] <joel> mwe: me too :)
[01:06] <slack_baphomet> ?
[01:06] <flyinghippo> sushi_:  I'll have to check, just a minute.
[01:06] <shaggs> we all have to learn
[01:07] <kitche> sushi_: it wants a vmware virtual disk for player, player can only use vmware hard drive disks I make a virtual hard drive disk and then use an iso to install that's the only way to really install with vmware player a guest os
[01:07] <cmt^^> How come apt-get says that gnome-pilot is installed and updated, but the program won't run? It says "unknown command" when i try to run "gnome-pilot"..?
[01:07] <apokryphos> slack_baphomet: I haven't tried it for some time, but ManDVD is very good: http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=38347
[01:07] <compu73rg33k> is there a way to make it not prompt for a password when I sudo -s
[01:07] <BackPacker> slack_baphomet: There are plenty of slideshow progs that can load the pix from a DVD
[01:07] <Wolfgang> I have a problem with the Live CD. When I rebooted my XP machine and loaded the DVD-ROM drive with the boot cd the computer gave me an error message which is different than what should normally appear. Here is the message:  Verifying DMI Data Pool.....   Boot from CD:  ISOLINUX 3.11 Debian-2066-03-16 (c) copyright 1994-2005   isolinux: Disk error 32, AX=4280, drive 9f   Boot failed:press a key to retry...             Now I have tried
[01:07] <apokryphos> cmt^^: dpkg -L gnome-pilot|grep bin
[01:07] <stefg> sushi_:  http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml
[01:08] <slack_baphomet> BackPacker: nice
[01:08] <BackPacker> compu73rg33k: There is, but it's not advised unless you're already experienced enough to know how to do it :-)
[01:08] <Flannel> Wolfgang: did you check the md5 of your iso?  did you burn at 4x?
[01:08] <Intelligitimate> How do I get mencoder to join together mp4 files?
[01:08] <LjL> kitche, sushi_: if one is lazy at searching for readmes, www.easyvmx.com
[01:08] <junmin> hi guys. in java, how to print a ticket with a printer( parallet port),please??
[01:08] <Wolfgang> I burned at 1x and the md5 said it was correct
[01:08] <un_operateur> cmt^^, it probably is something else -- try tab completing it -- gnome-pil<TAB>
[01:08] <kitche> LjL: hmm maybe that's the page that I read one time it was months ago :)
[01:08] <sushi_> cypruser: you're the one who needs easyvmx
[01:08] <joel> Wolfgang: did you try burning it again with another cdr?
[01:09] <cypruser> sushi_: Yeah, I'm already using it.
[01:09] <emun> i am back, help i do not have the choice of booting into rescue mode when i boot up ubuntu
[01:09] <LjL> kitche: probably not, there isn't much to *read* there. you just tick a couple of checkboxes, and it creates a .zip file for you with the VM data (config file and virtual drive) in
[01:09] <sushi_> I use vmware server and it works great =] 
[01:09] <aeromix> hi all...I am looking through vnc.conf but I can't find where to set up Allow connections by default???
[01:09] <aeromix> for all accounts..
[01:09] <BackPacker> emun: I think it's called "recovery mode". Your boot menu should have 2 options, it's the 2nd one
[01:09] <compu73rg33k> BackPacker: in all the other distros I've used putting NOPASSWD in visudo works
[01:10] <Wolfgang> I'm using a Verbatim DVD and the first burned disk worked on the main PC, I used the same brand with another disk and tried it on the other pc and the error came
[01:10] <compu73rg33k> but it hasn't worked in ubuntu
[01:10] <compu73rg33k> :P
[01:10] <cmt^^> apokryphos - i got it running now, but it doesn't find my docked palm-pilot :<
[01:10] <BackPacker> compu73rg33k: what hasn't worked?
[01:10] <mwe> compu73rg33k: it works here
[01:10] <compu73rg33k> when I sudo -s it still prompts for a pword
[01:10] <sushi_> aeromix: have you tried man vnc
[01:10] <Flannel> emun: did you push escape to get to the grub menu after your POST screen?
[01:10] <BackPacker> compu73rg33k: It will do until you edit /etc/sudoers to tell it not to
[01:10] <emun> there is nothing like recovery mode choice
[01:10] <LjL> compu73rg33k: of course it does. why shouldn't it?
[01:11] <mwe> compu73rg33k: disabling the password for sudo is a bad thing (tm)
[01:11] <aeromix> sushi_: No manual entry for vnc
[01:11] <stefg> compu73rg33k: that's correct :-)
[01:11] <un_operateur> compu73rg33k, why bypass the security of sudo, defeats its existence ..
[01:11] <compu73rg33k> yeah you're prob right but it's so annoying typing in the pword all the time :(
[01:11] <Music_Shuffle> Just once...
[01:11] <apokryphos> compu73rg33k: give yourself a  shorter pass 8)
[01:11] <Music_Shuffle> And then not-so-frequently after.
[01:11] <Riyonuk> Anyone here?
[01:11] <Music_Shuffle> No.
[01:11] <cypruser> Whenever I try to use Windows XP in VMware Player, I always get this error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39082/
[01:11] <compu73rg33k> apokryphos: that's actually a really good idea and I haven't thought about that haha
[01:11] <Riyonuk> Anyobody at all
[01:11] <un_operateur> compu73rg33k, you can always -- sudo bash
[01:11] <BackPacker> compu73rg33k: you could start with "man sudoers"
[01:11] <Intelligitimate> How do I get mencoder to join together mp4 files?
[01:11] <mnoir> Riyonuk: nope
[01:12] <Music_Shuffle> Riyonuk, obviously.
[01:12] <Music_Shuffle> ..
[01:12] <Riyonuk> awesome!
[01:12] <Music_Shuffle> Yay! :D
[01:12] <emun> no , maybe it is due to the suse on the 2nd pertition
[01:12] <Flannel> un_operateur: please don't recommend that, sudo -s is the preferred method
[01:12] <Riyonuk> Internet works
[01:12] <Riyonuk> Well sometimes Ill log and I wont hear anyone talk for 2-3 days
[01:12] <mwe> sudo -i is what you need to use to get proper root prompt
[01:12] <nix_ferret> Anyone know the command for the show desktop button in Gnome? I want to make a shortcut
[01:12] <Riyonuk> Ill even spam and not get kicked off
[01:12] <Music_Shuffle> O.o
[01:12] <stefg> compu73rg33k: .... or read about /etc/sudoers and learn how to apply NOPASSWD: there... BTW this is one of the reasons, why there are no virusses in the wild are known for linux :-)
[01:13] <compu73rg33k> haha I know :)
[01:13] <compu73rg33k> I think I'll just make a shorter pwrord that was a good idea apokryphos lol
[01:13] <Flannel> emun: did you ever get to the grub menu?
[01:13] <aeromix> !vnc
[01:13] <ubotu> VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX
[01:13] <mwe> there a viruses for linux. far between, though
[01:13] <emun> i used the live ubuntu cd also still no choice for recovery
[01:14] <un_operateur> Flannel, I dont see much difference since /bin/bash is usually always the shell .. and if he'd changed it he's probably wise enough to know otherwise
[01:14] <cypruser> Whenever I try to use Windows XP in VMware Player, I always get this error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39082/
[01:14] <emun> yes get to grub have choice of my suse or ubuntu

[01:15] <cmt^^> apokryphos - I give up :< it just won't find it
[01:15] <mwe> cypruser: and you installed xp in vmware?
[01:15] <Flannel> un_operateur: well, as of edgy dash is the default shell, and they mightve always set something else as their preferred shell, sudo -i will respect that
[01:15] <kohr_> crimsun,  will this work? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39083/
[01:15] <cypruser> mwe: I'm trying to.
[01:15] <nix_ferret> Anyone know the command for the show desktop button in Gnome? I want to make a shortcut
[01:15] <LjL> Flannel: sudo -s is preferred over sudo -i? since when?
[01:15] <Riyonuk> Is there a command to update every single thing on my computer? Programs, ubuntu OS, uhh yeah
[01:15] <SubMOA> hello all
[01:15] <Intelligitimate> How do I get mencoder to join together mp4 files?
[01:15] <un_operateur> Flannel, dash? did you mean bash?
[01:15] <mwe> cypruser: well put in the install cd then retry. the player can't install though, AFAIK
[01:16] <LjL> !dash | un_operateur, he means
[01:16] <ubotu> un_operateur, he means: /bin/sh links to the DASH shell in Ubuntu Edgy (6.10). Since DASH is not 100% compatible with the BASH shell, some scripts might break. You can make scripts execute using BASH by changing the first line of the script to "#!/bin/bash"
[01:16] <Flannel> LjL: it's not.  I got it wrong.  Can never remember which it is, just checked, it is -i
[01:16] <apokryphos> indeed. -i sets up more variables that may be needed
[01:16] <stefg> cypruser: this is an issue for #vmware...... (although i can imagine the reactions there :-\ )
[01:16] <mwe> cypruser: I think you need workstation or server to install
[01:16] <Flannel> LjL: either, however, is preferrable to sudo bash, or sudo su -
[01:16] <cypruser> mwe: What does the VMmachine file do?

[01:17] <LjL> Flannel: WHAT?
[01:17] <SubMOA> ...I opened Xchat from my command line, now is there a way to close the terminal withough quitting xchat?
[01:17] <LjL> Flannel: ah, y. i parsed the sentence backards.
[01:17] <LjL> yes
[01:17] <emun> i  think suse is better with this recovery stuff because i messed up stuff trying to fix this sudoers stuff and smoothly did an update istallation for my susu
[01:17] <LjL> what's my keboard doing
[01:17] <mwe> cypruser: I don't know. I just installed windows 2000 in vmware server. never had to deal with such a file yet
[01:17] <apokryphos> LjL: taking over!
[01:17] <cypruser> How do I close an application that's frozen?
[01:17] <stefg> SubMOA: no... only if you started xchat with 'xchat &'
[01:17] <robyn> subMOA run xchar preceded of HUP command that might help
[01:17] <emun> i mean suse
[01:17] <BackPacker> emun: You might be able to get into recovery mode by opening a console and entering "init 1"
[01:17] <robyn> xchat sorry
[01:17] <mwe> cypruser: xkill might do it
[01:17] <apokryphos> cypruser: xkill, and then click on it
[01:17] <LjL> cypruser: well, do you have the Windows CD in the drive?
[01:17] <n2diy> nix_ferret, click on places, then drag desktop to where you want it.
[01:18] <robyn> do a man of HUP and find out what it does :o)
[01:18] <SubMOA> stefg, well it seems when I X-out of it, it closes XChat
[01:18] <SubMOA> robyn, what does that mean?
[01:18] <SubMOA> :O)
[01:18] <kohr_> crimsun,  will this work? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39083/
[01:18] <LjL> apokryphos: or the RAI antenna is. i have their main antenna for the whole city at like 100 meters, and wireless things - probably including the keyboard - don't always like that too much ;)
[01:19] <robyn> man = unix manual pages
[01:19] <apokryphos> hah
[01:19] <flyinghippo> Installing 915resolution was a mistake.  Now, I'm stuck with a rather hideous type of resolution.  Is it possible to disable the effects of 915resolution?
[01:19] <nix_ferret> n2diy, I want to make a shortcut key combo, so I want to find out the command.
[01:19] <robyn> man hup = manual page on that command
[01:19] <emun> can i do that now or i have to boot up, why does ubuntu have like an update installation like live suse cd
[01:19] <SubMOA> ya know how it will say usergroup:username something something :~$?  well, when you are finished with a command, it seems it goes back to that, but right now, my curoser thing is below that line, on a blank like (does that make sense?)
[01:19] <n2diy> nix_ferret: ah, good luck.
[01:19] <stefg> SubMOA: understand the concept of child-processes and forking. A child process dies with its parent, a forked process doesn't care where it forked from... kill it's parents, doesn't matter
[01:19] <nix_ferret> yeah. thx.
[01:20] <Intelligitimate> How do I get mencoder to join together mp4 files?
[01:20] <BackPacker> emun: you can try it now; open a console and enter 'init 1' (without the quotes)
[01:20] <SubMOA> stetg, rgr, so whats a hup command, or how do I utilize it
[01:20] <evilgtiguy> i was wondering if anyone could help me to get fglrx working with my ati 200m card....i had an older verison installed and working but I tried upgrading to get xgl to work properly and now i can't even get the old verison to work
[01:20] <nix_ferret> What client is everyone using for irc? xchat?
[01:20] <kohr_> crimsun,  will this work? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39083/
[01:20] <SubMOA> xchat
[01:20] <Intelligitimate> xchat
[01:20] <kohr_> xchat
[01:20] <harrisony1> nix_ferret, xchat
[01:21] <kohr_> !xchat
[01:21] <ubotu> xchat: IRC client for X similar to AmIRC. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.6.6-0ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 275 kB, installed size 760 kB
[01:21] <emun> it said need to be root , this sucks
[01:21] <mnoir> SubMOA: 1.  It is nohup you want, not hup.  2.  try man nohup to learn what it does
[01:21] <xenos76> Is there anyone online that might help me install my Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 card?
[01:21] <SubMOA> mnoir, rgr, thanks
[01:21] <apokryphos> xenos76: take a look at the FAQ (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions) as linked to in the channel /topic
[01:21] <BackPacker> emun: then there's one last thing I know of that you can try:
[01:21] <LjL> Ubotu, tell xenos76 about nvidia | xenos76, see the private message from Ubotu
[01:21] <apokryphos> xenos76: it's covered in there.
[01:21] <nix_ferret> Is there a auto respond that I don't know about? i.e. harrisonyl: message here.
[01:21] <crimsun> kohr_: no, it won't do what you want.
[01:21] <Flannel> SubMOA: you can send it to the background, you'll need to stop it.  (ctrl-Z) then type "jobs" get the number, then type "bg #" where # is it's number
[01:22] <mnoir> nohup = no hang up - it decouples a child process
[01:22] <BackPacker> emun: reboot and when you get to the Grub screen, highlight the Ubuntu entry and press E
[01:22] <apokryphos> nix_ferret: eh?
[01:22] <Flannel> stefg: you might be interested in that too.
[01:22] <nix_ferret> yeah, like that
[01:22] <kohr_> crimsun,  I am confused about what exactly i want it to do
[01:22] <evilgtiguy> can someone please help me with ati drivers
[01:22] <nix_ferret> do you type it each time?
[01:22] <Intelligitimate> How do I get mencoder to join together mp4 files?
[01:22] <BackPacker> emun: then at the end of the line it shows you, enter a space, then 1 (the number 1)
[01:22] <apokryphos> nix_ferret: your nickname?
[01:22] <LjL> Ubotu, tell evilgtiguy about ati | evilgtiguy, see the private message from Ubotu
[01:22] <nix_ferret> yeah
[01:22] <apokryphos> !tab | nix_ferret
[01:22] <ubotu> nix_ferret: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[01:22] <crimsun> kohr_: allow playing multiple sounds at once?
[01:22] <BackPacker> emun: then press enter and when you boot, it should put you in recovery mode
[01:22] <kohr_> crimsun,  yeah, i guess that would be good
[01:22] <crimsun> kohr_: if you don't care about that, then don't worry about a custom asoundrc.
[01:23] <apokryphos> nix_ferret: i.e. type apok<TAB>
[01:23] <cypruser> How do I log into the root account?
[01:23] <kohr_> crimsun,  how do i get it to work with mplayer?
[01:23] <nix_ferret> apokryphos, ah, cool. I haven't used irc since college, and ppl didn't know what it was then.
[01:23] <LjL> Ubotu, tell cypruser about root | cypruser, see the private message from Ubotu
[01:23] <kohr_> cypruser, use su
[01:23] <LjL> cypruser: what do you need to do?
[01:23] <SubMOA> ehh, when I stop the command, it closes (well, stops) XChat
[01:23] <LjL> kohr_: ?
[01:23] <mwe> !sudo | cypruser
[01:23] <ubotu> cypruser: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[01:23] <moukib> Hello. What was the console command to force an application to display its dialogs in English? I seem to remember it was something like "LANGUAGE C programname" but that does not work :/
[01:23] <emun> i was wondering if i reinstall  from liveubuntu cd is there a choice for like an update installation , i did that for suse on my other partition
[01:23] <crimsun> kohr_: have you closed any app using the usb audio device?
[01:23] <nix_ferret> +10 years ago
[01:24] <mwe> cypruser: use sudo -i if you really need a root prompt
[01:24] <Flannel> emun: what do you mean "update installation"?
[01:24] <stefg> Flannel: you tell all the dirty tricks before the actual concept is understood... 100 points for being a geek, but 0 points for didactical style :-)
[01:24] <emun> yes
[01:24] <apokryphos> nix_ferret: wow :)
[01:24] <nix_ferret> Siph0n, you live around cherry hill?
[01:24] <cypruser> Well I just want to rearrange my sister's stuff without having to enter in the password all the time.
[01:24] <kohr_> cypruser, i belive so
[01:24] <Flannel> stefg: eh, it gets the job done for him, I'm sure in the future he'll remember to use &
[01:24] <nix_ferret> apokryphos, yeah.
[01:24] <Siph0n> nix_ferret: well its in my state lol, but like an hour-hour and a half away
[01:24] <stefg> Flannel: ok
[01:24] <LjL> cypruser, you will have to enter *a* password anyway. hers, or yours
[01:24] <Flannel> cypruser: sudo has a timeout, you shouldn't need to reinput your password for about 10 minutes
[01:25] <n2diy> nix_ferret: Cherry Hill, NJ?
[01:25] <Siph0n> yup
[01:25] <nix_ferret> that's the same year I bought a 33.6 modem for $109 and was very happy
[01:25] <crimsun> emun: the desktop (live) cd doesn't update; use the alternate cd instead.
[01:25] <nix_ferret> magnolia, nj. Close enough
[01:25] <Siph0n> nix_ferret_ never heard of magnolia :) sorry
[01:25] <emun> you like in windows install over old installation and update at same time , it worked in suse
[01:25] <n2diy> nix_ferret: I grew up in CH, class of 74
[01:26] <nix_ferret> n2diy, you went to west or east?
[01:26] <LjL> !offtopic
[01:26] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[01:26] <SubMOA> so it seems that the terminal window is the parent thingy of the XChat process?
[01:26] <n2diy> nix_ferret: I went to East, but knew lots of folks from West.
[01:26] <rich232> How do I uninstall crystal calendar in SuperKaramba, the uninstall button is faded..
[01:26] <mnoir> SubMOA: yep
[01:26] <Flannel> emun: or, grab the mini ISO, which downloads all packages from the internet, it's only a ~8mb download, instead of 700mb,  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[01:26] <LjL> SubMOA: if you started it from that terminal window... 'course.
[01:26] <emun> which is the alternate cd
[01:27] <phoenix87ta> hallo
[01:27] <kohr_> cypruser, i believe so
[01:27] <phoenix87ta> any way to convince SoundJuicer to extract to mp3?
[01:27] <SubMOA> ljl, ohh
[01:27] <nix_ferret> n2diy, you graduated a few years before my brothers. Nice to see foagies usin IRC - jk.
[01:27] <SubMOA> ljl, mnoir is there a way to get rid of the terminal window?
[01:28] <harrisony1> phoenix87ta, there is a way ill get it
[01:28] <n2diy> nix_ferret: Thanks?
[01:28] <SubMOA> maybe I'm OCD, but I hate having window bars on the bottom of my screen if I don't need them
[01:28] <nix_ferret> haha
[01:28] <kohr_> crimsum, i believe so
[01:28] <emun> so if i use the minimal cd can i install on top of my old installation to clean this suduers mess
[01:28] <phoenix87ta> harrisony1, thanks much
[01:28] <rich232> anybody?
[01:28] <BackPacker> emun: you can do that with the live CD. But back up your personal stuff first
[01:28] <cypruser> Where should I put a file if I want all the users of the computer to be able to access it?
[01:28] <mnoir> SubMOA: yes
[01:29] <mnoir> > nohup <command> &
[01:29] <mwe> cypruser: what kind of file?
[01:29] <LjL> phoenix87ta: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping#head-5858e2c9611a0ff943630aa0bb03fd4f5b5ddf4c
[01:29] <n2diy> cypruser: in /home
[01:29] <mnoir> then blow away window
[01:29] <Flannel> rich232: you might find more help in #kubuntu, theyre more familiar with superkaramba, I imagine
[01:29] <flyinghippo> Hello.  I have recently used 915resolution to improve my screen's resolution.  I wanted it to set my resolution to 1280x800.  However, it did so in a... not-so-good manner.  Instead, I get almost two screens.  I would like to know how to remove these effects, and if there are any effective ways to get a 1280x800, 16:10 resolution working on Ubuntu.
[01:29] <SubMOA> mnoir, so for XChat, "      nohup xchat &   "
[01:29] <rich232> ok
[01:29] <BackPacker> cypruser: create a directory for that, as root; make it owned by the 'users' group; add the users to the 'users' gruop
[01:30] <mnoir> SubMOA: but for things you use often why not just make a launcher?
[01:30] <cypruser> mwe: It's a VM machine file.
[01:30] <mnoir> yes - that should do it....
[01:30] <SubMOA> launcher? as in on the desktop? or is there a way to make a shortcut for the terminal
[01:30] <kohr_> crimsum, IT WORKS
[01:30] <CientificoLoco> how do I install software for shoutcast? In windows I used to use "WinAmp and its own ShoutCast" ...
[01:30] <mnoir> yes - is xchat already on a menu?
[01:30] <LjL> cypruser, you just need to put it into a directory that is world-readable and world-executable, and make the file itself world-readable
[01:30] <SubMOA> mnoir, I think I like the idea of using the terminal, I dunno, maybe it's just me
[01:30] <LjL> Ubotu, tell cypruser about permissions | cypruser, see the private message from Ubotu
[01:30] <dm_> sources.lst is located where again, i have a brain like swiss cheese
[01:30] <CientificoLoco> how do I install software for shoutcast? In windows I used to use "WinAmp and its own ShoutCast" ...
[01:30] <SubMOA> mnoir, it may be
[01:30] <robyn> oppss sorry yeah nohup, my typo
[01:30] <mwe> cypruser: vmware server puts them in /var/lib/vmaware by default I think. I changed it to /opt/vmware_VMs
[01:31] <BackPacker> LjL: I wouldn't recommend that... it's a big security hole
[01:31] <LjL> cypruser: in other words, chmod a+r filename. but you might prefer to create a *group* for "shared" files, and make the users (and only those users) who'll need to access them members of that group
[01:31] <mnoir> jusdt drag it from the menu to your bar or desktop
[01:31] <dm_> ljl whats the path to sources again
[01:31] <SubMOA> mnoir, mice just slow me down (which is bad, because I'm really slow to begin with)
[01:31] <LjL> dm_: /etc/apt
[01:31] <dm_> ljl thanks
[01:31] <n2diy> ubotu: sources
[01:31] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[01:31] <BackPacker> LjL: oh, forget it, you said "readable", I read "writeable" :-(
[01:31] <kyja> how do I change the list order in grub??
[01:31] <phoenix87ta> should do it ljl, thanks much
[01:31] <stefg> cypruser: for fragmentation reason it's best anyway to put the VMs to a separate partition. Then you can mount  e.g in /media/vmware and let useres acces it by the afore mentioned methods
[01:32] <cynical> CientificoLoco: http://www.icecast.org/
[01:32] <MarcN>  kyja: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:32] <robyn> the command is nohup xhat
[01:32] <LjL> BackPacker: indeed. i was just going to tell you that on my Edgy the default umask makes everything a+r... ;)
[01:32] <mnoir> SubMOA: to each his own :)
[01:32] <SubMOA> mnoir, but I think i'll do that anyway, thanks
[01:32] <mwe> kyja: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:32] <emun> will be back thanks all
[01:32] <BackPacker> kyja: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst as root, then use cut and paste
[01:32] <kyja> thx all
[01:32] <SubMOA> !nohup
[01:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nohup - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:32] <twshadow101> Hi there, im having a major melt down right now. :P I need help fixing an error I am getting during the boot process when it checks the root file system it gives me: "Buffer I/0 error on device hda1, logical block 1825198325.8%".
[01:32] <kohr_> crimsun, it works, but i can't change the volume
[01:33] <n2diy> twshadow101: and then what happens?
[01:33] <mnoir> SubMOA: nohup is not a mass-audience subject...
[01:33] <SubMOA> opps
[01:33] <SubMOA> sorry
[01:33] <twshadow101> n2diy it gives me the same error but instead the ending numbers are different.
[01:33] <LjL> twshadow101: looks like your HD might be in trouble, have you checked it using the SMART tools? (smartmontools package, "smartctl -H" command)
[01:34] <SubMOA> i was trying to find more infor on it, the man command wasn't all that helpful
[01:34] <n2diy> twshadow101: so the box locks up?
[01:34] <twshadow101> LjL im not sure, im new :(
[01:34] <SubMOA> will search forums...
[01:34] <stefg> twshadow101: this indicates a broken partition or file-system. Bad block on your drive , I#ll assume
[01:34] <twshadow101> n2diy: basically it doesnt boot into the OS
[01:34] <BackPacker> SubMOA: try "man SIGNAL"
[01:34] <twshadow101> stefg: how would you suggest I fix it? Or, can I even?
[01:34] <mnoir> SubMOA: you might need to read the code for it -
[01:34] <cody_> Anyone available to help me get wireless up and running?
[01:34] <LjL> twshadow101: well, then type "sudo apt-get install smartmontools", and then when it's installed, type "sudo smartctl -H /dev/hda" (change 'hda' to whatever your HD actually is), and make sure it says PASSED
[01:35] <BackPacker> SubMOA: no forget that. Sorry, brain fart  :-(
[01:35] <SubMOA> <[01:35] <LjL> Ubotu, tell kohr_ about away | kohr_, see the private message from Ubotu
[01:35] <twshadow101> LjL: I cant even get into Ubuntu. Once I get that error the thing locks up and never loads into Ubuntu.
[01:35] <SubMOA> backpacker what's the SIGNAL thing do?
[01:35] <n2diy> twshadow101: Did you do an install, and now your trying to boot from the HD?
[01:35] <LjL> twshadow101: use the live cd then
[01:35] <mnoir> signal doesnt help you much
[01:35] <SubMOA> ohh
[01:35] <BackPacker> SubMOA: the man page lists the signals you can send to a process. Kind of related to nohup...
[01:36] <SubMOA> ohh
[01:36] <mnoir> sig and nohup are both part of the basic communication of linux with tasks
[01:36] <Mathew> so is the Alternate CD a different download than the Live CD?
[01:36] <twshadow101> n2diy: No I have been using Ubuntu for some time, I had to unplug the box and move it and when I plugged it back in this happened.
[01:36] <LjL> Mathew: yes
[01:36] <SubMOA> hmm, like ls and cd and mkdir
[01:36] <mnoir> SubMOA: sighup is often the way to tell something to reload it's config
[01:36] <n2diy> twshadow101: You did a clean shutdown right?
[01:36] <twshadow101> n2diy: right
[01:36] <stefg> twshadow101: if you have a Live-CD boot that and run a 'sudo badblocks /dev/hda1# on that. Note the bad blocknubers on paper and see the manual of your preferred filesystem how to tell the fs about the broken blocks
[01:36] <mnoir> but you are trying to defeat sigs, hence nohup
[01:37] <mnoir> you are in unix theory of operations territory
[01:37] <mnoir> basic os design
[01:37] <twshadow101> stefg: I dont have the manual or anything like that, I have had this computer for some time. :S
[01:37] <CientificoLoco> cynical, do I need another software else?
[01:37] <LjL> stefg, twshadow101: however, AFAIK modern hard drives deal with bad blocks in the firmware (by remapping them to good blocks), and an actual bad block that's visible to the software may indicate a serious condition of the HD
[01:37] <Siph0n> when i download a package from synaptic, where does it download to?
[01:37] <SubMOA> sorry, Ctrl-X isn't cut, i keep forgetting
[01:37] <mnoir> interesting but a total waste of time if you just want to be a user :)
[01:37] <lamebmx> arrrrrr finally fakeraid install was successful
[01:37] <BackPacker> SubMOA: the way I remember it, if you start a process with -nohup, you have to send it a specific SIGKILL to stop it
[01:38] <LjL> !man | twshadow101, wasn't talking about your computers's manual
[01:38] <ubotu> twshadow101, wasn't talking about your computers's manual: The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[01:38] <SubMOA> mnoir, I'm actually really interested in that stuff... any good beginner books to get my feet wet that you guys know of?
[01:38] <mnoir> Siph0n: /var/cache
[01:38] <cody_> Looking for some wireless help, anyone available?
[01:38] <emun> i am back still could not get into recovery mode after boot up , this is unbelievable , windows seems to beckoning me back
[01:38] <mnoir> uuh - /var/cache/apt/sumpin i think
[01:38] <Siph0n> mnoir thanx
[01:38] <LjL> !helpme | cody_
[01:38] <ubotu> cody_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:38] <SubMOA> backpacker, so i can start xchat with nohup, then close the terminal window and xchat will still run?
[01:38] <BackPacker> SubMOA: Running Linux by Matt Dalheimer
[01:38] <n2diy> twshadow101: Could be a hardware problem, I'd re-seat the HD connections.
[01:39] <BackPacker> SubMOA: what happens when you try it?
[01:39] <cody_> I can not get my wireless running and I need some help
[01:39] <SubMOA> backpacker, thanks, I will check it out
[01:39] <twshadow101> n2diy: re-seat?
[01:39] <LjL> Ubotu, tell cody_ about wifi | cody_, see the private message from Ubotu
[01:39] <moukib> I'm making a bootable Ubuntu pendrive, using the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent?highlight=%28live%29%7C%28usb%29%7C%28persistent%29 Should the partition number one be a FAT16 or FAT32 one? Thanks
[01:39] <mwe> cody_: you need to be more specific if you're hoping to get help
[01:39] <cody_> wlan0 shows up in ifconfig but I cant get a connection
[01:39] <SubMOA> backpacker, I haven't tried it yet, because evrything I try something, xchat closes and, well, that's my link to you guys :O)
[01:39] <cody_> I am using a Broadcom card
[01:39] <n2diy> twshadow101: yes, remove them, and then connect them again.
[01:39] <mnoir> SubMOA: the bible on this is Stevens: Advanced Programming
[01:39] <BackPacker> SubMOA: can't you run more than one instance of xchat?
[01:39] <mnoir> (in the UNIX environment)
[01:40] <mwe> cody_: are you using encryption?
[01:40] <cody_> I have it off for now
[01:40] <SubMOA> backpacker, iw as actually just asking that yesterday
[01:40] <twshadow101> n2diy: oooooh okay. Im trying the "sudo badblocks /dev/hda1" thing first. So far nothing has come back in the terminal
[01:40] <SubMOA> let me try
[01:40] <mwe> cody_: good for starters
[01:40] <mnoir> SubMOA: try it with some other x client
[01:40] <BackPacker> cody_: does it show up if you do 'iwconfig wlan0'?
[01:40] <SubMOA> I think it just mashes them together
[01:40] <SubMOA> mnoir, as in X11 client, or as in X, maybe short for XChat?
[01:40] <stefg> LjL: true... bad drives need to be replaced. But i found cases in which norton speeddisk for windows caused bad blocks by overstressing certain areas on the disk. it's still usable, but you have to create an empty partition around these bad blocks to avoid further trouble
[01:40] <mnoir> SubMOA: i have been using konqueror to test my answers to you :)
[01:40] <mwe> cody_: well iwlist wlan0 scan, type that in a terminal and see if it show any APs
[01:40] <BackPacker> SubMOA: then try it with another X-based app. If it works for that, it should work for xchat
[01:40] <cody_> BackPacker, it does
[01:40] <cmt^^> How come I can't locate my Palm (usb, tungsten T)?
[01:41] <mxwlpxwl> hello allz...here is a newbie question. i have an intel pro wireless 3945 abg card. it's recognized by ubuntu 6.06 but i cannot connect to my wireless network. i have no security
[01:41] <BackPacker> cody_: and what does it say?
[01:41] <n2diy> twshadow101: roger that.
[01:41] <mnoir> x x11 all mean the same thing most of the time
[01:41] <mxwlpxwl> i'm not sure what the problem is
[01:41] <SubMOA> ok, working on firefox
[01:41] <mnoir> SubMOA: so nohup nautilus & for instance - for you
[01:41] <cody_> mwe, my ap shows up there
[01:41] <SubMOA> WOO HOO it worked!!!
[01:41] <twshadow101> n2diy: terminal is just sitting there after that command with nothing. Nothing has come back as of yet.
[01:41] <SubMOA> thanks guys!
[01:42] <mwe> cody_: good. try sudo dhclient wlan0
[01:42] <cmt^^> Noone using one here?
[01:42] <SubMOA> so what exactly is a hangup?
[01:42] <LjL> stefg: well, so i still suggest looking at the SMART output, may help determining whether it's going to degenerate, or it might stay stable. SMART is too often overlooked IMHO (though, agreed, it's often way too hard to interpret the values)
[01:42] <mwe> cody_: see if it associates and gives you an ip. if not you need to play with iwconfig
[01:42] <mnoir> it is a signal - man signal to begin reading
[01:42] <BackPacker> cody_: you need to make sure wlan0 is set to the same ESSID as the AP, and the same channel, and using Managed mode
[01:42] <cody_> mwe, I tried that earlier and it didnt work, trying it again now
[01:42] <SubMOA> mnoir, rgr
[01:42] <n2diy> twshadow101: I'm not familiar with that command, does your Caps Key turn the Caps LED on and off?
[01:42] <emun> if i just do an install of ubuntu 6.10 from my cd on top of my old ubuntu installation , what will happens any problems?
[01:42] <twshadow101> yes
[01:43] <cody_> BackPacker, where do I set all that?
[01:43] <mwe> cody_: iwconfig wlan0, does it show if you're associated?
[01:43] <LjL> SubMOA: it's just a signal. there are many possible signals that can be sent to a process -- some have very well-defined semantics (such as, "kill the process without even asking"), others as simply interpreted by the process as it sees fit
[01:43] <n2diy> twshadow101: ok, good, the box is locked up.
[01:43] <flyinghippo> Hello.
[01:43] <n2diy> twshadow101: ok, good, the box isn't locked up.
[01:43] <mnoir> SubMOA: the signals have meaning by agreement - you can custom process most of them any way you want as a programmer
[01:43] <BackPacker> cody_: you can use the Networking dialog in the System menu
[01:43] <flyinghippo> I have but a very simple question... what is the command to delete in the terminal?  :\
[01:43] <cody_> mwe, it shows essid as off/any
[01:43] <twshadow101> n2diy: I was about to say if the box was locked up I wouldnt be able to respond in here :P
[01:43] <mnoir> but you will drive the rest of us crazy if you do not stick to convention
[01:43] <toulouse> hey guys, how do i overwrite music on a cd to burn an iso?
[01:43] <mwe> cody_: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid ESSID_NAME
[01:44] <Nipp00> hm. I think I'll just install Ubuntu because of the login screen
[01:44] <SubMOA> hmm, so the nohup command is sending a signal to, umm, firefox? to disregard the terminal closing?
[01:44] <BackPacker> emun: you will lose any personal settings and anything in your home directory. Best back that stuff up first
[01:44] <LjL> SubMOA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIGHUP for the historical reasons why it's called like that
[01:44] <mwe> cody_: ESSID_NAME being your AP name
[01:44] <BackPacker> flyinghippo: delete what?
[01:44] <n2diy> twshadow101: You could be playing with another box. :)
[01:44] <mnoir> no - nohup is telling the task not to respond normally to the hup signal
[01:44] <SubMOA> ljl, thank you
[01:44] <mnoir> and that is a simplified explanation
[01:44] <twshadow101> n2diy: what do you mean? I dont have another box :P
[01:44] <toulouse> how do i overwrite data on a cd to burn an iso on it??
[01:44] <flyinghippo> Thanks.
[01:44] <SubMOA> mnoir, ohhhhh
[01:44] <mwe> cody_: then sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode managed then retry the sudo dhclient wlan0 command
[01:44] <BackPacker> toulouse: you can only do that with a blank CD
[01:45] <flyinghippo> toulouse: If it is a CD-R, there is ntohing you can do.
[01:45] <toulouse> it's a cd-rw though
[01:45] <n2diy> twshadow101: Everybody should have a test box, especially if they are playing with new operating systems.
[01:45] <mnoir> in mainframespeak, sorta like ignore interrupts
[01:45] <SubMOA> mnoir, thank you
[01:45] <BackPacker> toulouse: you can use K3b to blank it
[01:45] <toulouse> k3b, i'll look for it
[01:45] <mnoir> get Stevens - if you have the chops for it you might enjoy it
[01:45] <emun> can you recommend good application to backup and restore,i learnt my lesson guess should have cloned this ubuntu thing
[01:45] <vox754> djd~#
[01:46] <BackPacker> toulouse: K3b is (arguably) the best CD/DVD burner around
[01:46] <cody_> mwe, did that, still now working
[01:46] <mnoir> you would learn exactly what UNIX means
[01:46] <twshadow101> n2diy: I guess this command isnt going to return anything because its still blank, I guess i'll try unplugging the cables and then plugging them back in again. Although, I dont want to install the OS again because I got a lot of files on here i'd like to keep. But, if it comes down to it I guess i'll have too.
[01:46] <toulouse> BackPacker: can it burn the iso for me ? thanks for the info
[01:46] <cody_> mwe, iwconfig wlan0 is still showing essid as off/any
[01:46] <mwe> cody_: does it associate with iwconfig wlan0 essid ESSID_NAME?
[01:46] <MrVincent> I'm having problems with my Kubuntu, I,m still on the Live CD, I can connect to the Wireless Network and view pages on the other comps apache servers but not google. I can load LAN pages but not WAN. Anyone knows what's happening?
[01:46] <mwe> oh
[01:46] <toulouse> oh and will it work in gnome
[01:46] <MrVincent> Can anyone help?
[01:46] <n2diy> twshadow101: roger that, good luck.
[01:46] <stefg> emun: man dd
[01:47] <mwe> cody_: hmm
[01:47] <BackPacker> toulouse: yes, it can burn iso's, music CDs, data CDs, data DVDs, copy CDs and DVDs, etc, etc
[01:47] <twshadow101> n2diy, LjL, stefg: thanks for your help.
[01:47] <SubMOA> stevens, the advanced programing one, mnoir?
[01:47] <toulouse> sweet!
[01:47] <just-this-time> where do I tell ubuntu what lang to use for upper ascii AKA non-unicode
[01:47] <just-this-time> 1 more time pls
[01:47] <cody_> mwe, i am still a newbie w/linux, but I have been on this for about 10 hours
[01:47] <emun> what is man dd is that a command
[01:47] <mnoir> MrVincent: not to be unfriendly but the toolset is slightly different and you might like #kubuntu better ...
[01:47] <mwe> cody_: yeah
[01:47] <mnoir> SubMOA: yes
[01:47] <BackPacker> toulouse: yes, but it uses KDE libraries. Install it using apt-get or synaptic, or whatever, and it will satisfy all library dependencies
[01:47] <mnoir> but look at it first
[01:47] <just-this-time> !sweet | toulouse
[01:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sweet - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:47] <mnoir> very academic
[01:47] <LjL> emun: "man" is a command. "dd" is also a command, but by doing "man dd" you're simply asking 'man' about 'dd'
[01:47] <LjL> Ubotu, tell emun about man | emun, see the private message from Ubotu
[01:47] <mwe> cody_: it should be possible to make it work as long as iwlist wlan0 is showing your AP as you say it is
[01:48] <n2diy> emun, mondo was recommend to me, but it is a work in progress, and the packages in the repositories don't work on 6.06. I'm working with the Mondo folks, but it has been slow going.
[01:48] <vox754> All the people wanting to talk about wireless should go to #ndiswrapper. That channel is dead, but perhaps with your help you could bring it up.
[01:48] <mwe> cody_: iwlist wlan0 scan that is
[01:48] <toulouse> hey someone got mad at me earlier for doing that   ! (insert thing here) for something
[01:48] <SubMOA> I guess I will have to learn basic programming before I move on to him, though hehe
[01:48] <mnoir> SubMOA: good idea
[01:48] <toulouse> oh well, i got k3b, im off to burning
[01:48] <BackPacker> emun: backup programs are overkill. You can back up using a file manager
[01:48] <kohr_> crimsun, it works, but i can't change the volume
[01:48] <lamebmx> i have sound at boot to session selection point ... but not when i log any ... anyone with a quick clue
[01:48] <MrVincent> mnoir: I tried on their channel but did not get any answers but I remember having the same problem on Ubuntu so I tired here too
[01:48] <cody_> mwe, it is the first one in the list
[01:49] <crimsun> kohr_: did you use a correct asoundrc?
[01:49] <mwe> cody_: what's the name?
[01:49] <mnoir> MrVincent: ok - good luck :)
[01:49] <cody_> mwe, 169a
[01:49] <just-this-time> toulouse: you are right ,playing with ubotu  bot is abad bad thing
[01:49] <SubMOA> mnoir, i know this is off of ubuntu, technically, but real quick, and I'll split, any good recommendations for beginning programmers?
[01:49] <kohr_> crimsun, no, i am not sure how to configure it,
[01:49] <toulouse> someone else got mad at me i think tho , weird
[01:49] <mwe> cody_: sudo iwconfig wlan0 169a, then iwconfig wlan0 and it shows not associated?
[01:49] <mnoir> SubMOA: what - beer? good plays?  bands?
[01:49] <n2diy> BackPacker: How do you back up your custom installed apps, their sym links, etc...?
[01:49] <lamebmx> !sound
[01:49] <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 that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin
[01:50] <SubMOA> mnoir, lol, as in books, or languages to start on
[01:50] <toulouse> so is it bad to do normal things with the ubotu bot like that above?
[01:50] <cody_> mwe, sudo iwconfig wlan0 169a doesnt work
[01:50] <BackPacker> n2diy: I don't :-)
[01:50] <mwe> cody_: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid 169a
[01:50] <mwe> cody_: sorry
[01:50] <kohr_> SubMOA, use syntax and comments
[01:50] <n2diy> BackPacker: Ya like living on the edge eh? :)
[01:50] <BackPacker> n2diy: I keep the debs in case I need to reinstall. If I upgrade, I grab new debs
[01:50] <cody_> mwe, still shows off/any
[01:50] <vox754> !seen Rondom
[01:50] <ubotu> Rondom is on IRC right now!
[01:50] <mnoir> SubMOA: no really - you need a goal and learning computer programming is not specific enuf
[01:50] <mwe> cody_: hmm
[01:51] <SubMOA> kohr_ but before syntax ans comments, I'll need a language :O)
[01:51] <BackPacker> n2diy: No, I like living on the Dapper... :-)
[01:51] <cmt^^> humm
[01:51] <SubMOA> mnoir, hmm
[01:51] <cmt^^> How about my palm-pilot problem?
[01:51] <Rondom> vox754: I'm here
[01:51] <cody_> mwe, tell me about it. I just need to get wireless working so I can just about ditch windows
[01:51] <Rondom> vox754: I'm here
[01:51] <crimsun> kohr_: there are many asoundrc examples on the Web site to which I pointed you.#
[01:51] <kohr_> SubMOA, JAva is good for beginners
[01:51] <Rondom> !seen vox754
[01:51] <mwe> cody_: ifconfig shows wlan0 as well?
[01:51] <mnoir> SubMOA: otherwise you will bring a gun to a knife fight
[01:51] <ubotu> I last saw vox754 (n=754xov@189.157.84.6) 11s ago, quiting: "Leaving"
[01:51] <SubMOA> mnoir, rgr
[01:51] <mnoir> ir verse-visa
[01:51] <kohr_> crimsun, can i have that link again?
[01:51] <SubMOA> kohr_ what about python?
[01:51] <cody_> mwa, it does
[01:51] <mnoir> ir = or
[01:51] <emun> which file manager , please remember anything requiring root is impossible on my system
[01:51] <BackPacker> SubMOA: you could try starting out with BASH programming. Plenty of resources on the net for that
[01:51] <crimsun> kohr_: http://alsa.opensrc.org
[01:52] <n2diy> BackPacker: Roger on the Dapper, and I'll have to look into backing up my .debs Bare metal recover is a PITA.
[01:52] <mwe> cody_: I'm not sure what's up
[01:52] <kohr_> SubMOA, python is good too
[01:52] <kohr_> SubMOA, easy to pick up if you know another lanquage
[01:52] <nix_ferret> emun, you can't boot recovery?
[01:52] <NoobieDoobieDo> Ubuntu 6.06 -- Inten 1.5GHZ 380MB RAM Ti4200 -- My system is feeling a bit slugish :( Any tips ????
[01:52] <BackPacker> emun: you've probably got several file managers on your system
[01:52] <mwe> cody_: what mode does iwconfig show for wlan0?
[01:52] <SubMOA> mnoir, backpacker, I'll take a look, but like mnoir said, I really want to learn it to learn it, so I don't really have a goal
[01:52] <emun> yes nix ferret no recovery for me
[01:53] <cody_> mwe, not sure what you mean by mode
[01:53] <lamebmx> cody_, i feel ya too ... last thing i need ta do is say bye bye to this 25ft cable strung through my apartment
[01:53] <Music_Shuffle> NoobieDoobieDo, sluggish how?
[01:53] <MarcN> NoobieDoobieDo: install the xubuntu-desktop package and login using the new desktop it provides.  Smaller footprint than gnome/kde
[01:53] <MarcN> NoobieDoobieDo: or buy more memory.
[01:53] <nix_ferret> emun, why don't you boot the live cd?
[01:53] <cody_> lamebmx, i have a 75 footer all tangled up
[01:53] <mwe> cody_: if you type iwconfig it should show Mode:Managed if it's configured correctly
[01:53] <cody_> mwe, it doesnt show mode at all
[01:53] <lamebmx> yea
[01:54] <lamebmx> but im kinda screwed .. wg111u usb adapter
[01:54] <lamebmx> :/
[01:54] <NoobieDoobieDo> Music_Shuffle: Mainly on the graphics end ... programs seem to respond slowly.
[01:54] <heatxsink> anyone in here ever use subversion with that commit-email perl script and successfully got it working?
[01:54] <mwe> cody_: try sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode managed then iwconfig to see if it changed
[01:54] <Music_Shuffle> NoobieDoobieDo, did it used to not be so?
[01:54] <NoobieDoobieDo> Music_Shuffle: Just installed - used Ubuntu before and WinXP Pro
[01:54] <cody_> mwe, I now have mode:managed
[01:54] <NoobieDoobieDo> Music_Shuffle: But this is Ubuntu 6.06
[01:55] <mwe> cody_: good
[01:55] <Music_Shuffle> Like MarcN said, it might just be the requirements RAM-wise for RAM. How's XFCE run?
[01:55] <emun> i was going to just reinstall ubuntu but need to backup some stuff first
[01:55] <NoobieDoobieDo> Music_Shuffle: Is 1.5 GHZ / 400MB RAM and a 128 MB video card not enough to run Ubuntu nicely?
[01:55] <mwe> cody_: now try sudo iwconfig wlan0 essed 169a again then iwconfig to if it worked
[01:55] <SubMOA> mnoir, ok.  Well this is all pretty foreign to me, but I thik you and and backpacker have helped me tremendously, so thank you.  Off to the wiki to read up on this stuff.
[01:55] <SubMOA> and kohr_, too
[01:55] <mwe> cody_: essid*
[01:55] <vanberge> is there a utility in ubuntu to reconfigure X ?  i.e. with a new vid card or monitor?
[01:55] <mnoir> :)
[01:55] <SubMOA> goodbye
[01:55] <un_operateur> !fixres
[01:55] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type "sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart" in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[01:55] <BackPacker> SubMOA: glad to be of help
[01:56] <cody_> mwe, still bot showing my ap
[01:56] <Music_Shuffle> NoobieDoobieDo, I ran it just fine with 512 myself, and integrated video on a 2.4 Northwood P4.
[01:56] <mwe> cody_: odd
[01:56] <Music_Shuffle> Install Xfce
[01:56] <Music_Shuffle> and see if it improves any.
[01:56] <nix_ferret> emun, just boot the liveCD and do your back up to usb
[01:56] <NoobieDoobieDo> Music_Shuffle: Im thinking this is a video card issue :( NVidia Ti4200 128MB RAM 4x AGP
[01:56] <mwe> cody_: maybe you need to set the channel as well
[01:56] <Music_Shuffle> Have you installed the drivers?
[01:56] <NoobieDoobieDo> Music_Shuffle: yes
[01:56] <cody_> mwe, how do i do that?
[01:57] <Jaak_> I've disabled some services and now i when i try to acces "services" it says i am not allowed to acces system configuration. So i can't undo it? Can anyone help me?
[01:57] <mwe> cody_: iwlist wlan0 scan to see what channel the AP is using
[01:57] <metroman> How do you pronounce Ubuntu?
[01:57] <Music_Shuffle> ./Sigh.  Then you're outa my depth. I'd say try XFCE and see if it improves any though.
[01:57] <NoobieDoobieDo> Music_Shuffle: thanks anyhow
[01:57] <mwe> cody_: then sudo iwconfig wlan0 channel X, X being the channel from iwlist
[01:57] <flyinghippo> Has anyone here had any experience with getting different resolutions listed in Ubuntu?  I messed with X's configurations, and several other things, but I believe I am out of ideas/
[01:57] <emun> good idea nix ferret , but which apllication do i use to backup, or do just copy and paste
[01:58] <mnoir> metroman: : listen closely, I am only going to say it once:                            got it?
[01:58] <cody_> mwe, channel didnt seem to go in
[01:58] <tito_linux> Hi, I was reccomended to delete S13GDM from the runlevel folder so I could boo into text-only mode. How do I get it back to go back to normal mode?
[01:58] <nix_ferret> I would just copy and past to a jump drive or what not.
[01:58] <mwe> cody_: I'm about to run out of ideas
[01:58] <BackPacker> tito_linux: In a console: ln -s /etc/init.d/gdm /etc/rc2.d/S13gdm
[01:59] <cody_> mwe, you got me one step further than I was
[01:59] <evil_> How do I log users out???
[01:59] <Jaak_> I've disabled some services using the servises-admin and now i when i try to acces services-admin, it says i am not allowed to acces system configuration. So i can't undo it? Can anyone help me?
[01:59] <jasz> hello all
[01:59] <`rich[a] > evil_, kill their shell process
[01:59] <mwe> cody_: yeah setting the mode. that wont help if it doesn't associate though
[01:59] <BackPacker> tito_linux: I did warn you earlier to rename it rather than delete it...
[01:59] <crimsun> tito_linux: update-rc.d gdm defaults 13 01 >/dev/null 2>&1
[01:59] <bratsche> Hi, question about using dual-core cpus.. I had linux-image-386 installed and it was working with both cores, but when I switched to linux-image-generic it won't use both cores.  But there isn't an nvidia driver built for -generic it seems.
[01:59] <Jaak_> 1431ez
[01:59] <kyja> thank you folks. you helped me set it so I can boot in generic as default so it cures my dualcore issues.
[01:59] <jasz> how do i make rhythmbox read/edit the tags in a mpc file?
[02:00] <crimsun> jasz: you should use ex falso
[02:00] <emun> nix ferret, when i boot up with livecd what to use to backup
[02:00] <bratsche> kyja: Hey.. you're using dual cores in -generic kernel?
[02:00] <jasz> crimsun, ... exfalso can read the tags properly.. but rhythmbox does not :(
[02:01] <BackPacker> emun: you don't need to boot with livecd. Just run the Gnome file manager (can't remember what it's called as I use KDE) and copy your files to floppy, or to another hard disk partition
[02:01] <mwe> cody_: the mode shows as managed with iwlist wlan0 scan, right?
[02:01] <BackPacker> emun: or run k3b and burn the files to a CD or DVD
[02:01] <nix_ferret> emun, I would jack in a jumpdrive and copy whatever I needed (i.e. /home/username/*.*)
[02:02] <cody_> mwe, it does
[02:02] <jasz> BWEH
[02:02] <jasz> brb
[02:02] <bratsche> kyja: How do you do that?  This is the problem I'm having I think.
[02:02] <emun> i have archive manager is that it
[02:02] <mwe> cody_: I'm afraid I can't help anymore. maybe someone else
[02:02] <nix_ferret> emun, or hook up to your lan and mount a network drive to copy stuff over. You could even tar the whole system if you were feeling adventurous
[02:02] <jasz> much better
[02:02] <BackPacker> Can somebody tell emun what the Gnome file manager is called? I can't remember as  I use KDE
[02:03] <mwe> cody_: I feel confident it's possible since it shows with iwlist scan though
[02:03] <lynucs> how to resize windows in irssi??
[02:03] <arrenlex> nautilus
[02:03] <BackPacker> arrenlex: thanks
[02:03] <nix_ferret> emun, yeah u can use that too
[02:03] <n2diy> BackPacker: Nautilus
[02:03] <BackPacker> emun: you can run Nautilus
[02:03] <BackPacker> n2diy: tx
[02:03] <cody_> mwe, thanks for the try, from all the forums I have read Broadcom is a pain in the a$$
[02:03] <lynucs> so that all windows in irssi become equal?
[02:03] <emun> ok let me see whether i have it
[02:03] <mwe> cody_: maybe so. using ndiswrapper or the open source driver?
[02:04] <cody_> mwe, ndiswrapper
[02:04] <cody_> mwe, although I think i have tried the open source driver as well
[02:04] <nolimitsoya> how can i mount a fs making is case insensitive? i vaguely recall such an option...
[02:04] <mwe> cody_: yeah. using ndiswrapper you need both a driver and firmware don't you?
[02:05] <BackPacker> nolimitsoya: make sure it's a FAT32 fs... ?  :-)
[02:05] <cody_> mwe, at this point, I can't remember, I followed 2 set of instructions i found and neither worked 100%
[02:05] <bratsche> Can anyone help me with this dual-core issue?
[02:05] <mwe> cody_: hmm
[02:05] <nolimitsoya> BackPacker, thats not an option ;)
[02:06] <BackPacker> nolimitsoya: perhaps if you said which filesystem...
[02:06] <emun> no nautilus on my system can not install anything without root
[02:06] <nolimitsoya> BackPacker, xfs.
[02:06] <Riyonuk> Why does web browsing take so long? Its getting to be annoying
[02:06] <BackPacker> nolimitsoya: sorry, don't know xfs. Anyone else?
[02:06] <mnoir> emun - how are you looking for nautilus
[02:06] <LjL> !ipv6disable | Riyonuk, perhaps
[02:06] <ubotu> Riyonuk, perhaps: To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4
[02:07] <BackPacker> emun: try Thunar on the Utilities menu
[02:07] <Jaak_> how do i turn on services not using services-admin
[02:07] <`rich> Jaak_, sudo /etc/init.d/service-name start
[02:07] <mwe> cody_: well I hope you get it to work...
[02:07] <cody_> mwe, me too
[02:07] <LjL> or invoke-rc.d service-name start even
[02:07] <mnoir> Jaak_: such as?
[02:07] <BackPacker> `rich: that starts them, it doesn't turn them on
[02:07] <`rich> BackPacker, i must be misunderstanding - is there a difference?
[02:07] <gaten> im having trouble installing nvidia drivers from reps. Ive read the FAQs and guides, but nothing seems to work. if i run depmod, this is the error i get: WARNING: Module /lib/modules/2.6.15-27-k7/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko is not an elf object. the only way i can use X is with "vesa" as my driver, "nvidia" or even "nv" doesnt work. any ideas?
[02:07] <BackPacker> Jaak_: you can manually create the symlinks from /etc/init.d into /etc/rc2.d
[02:08] <nolimitsoya> how can i mount an xfs making is case insensitive?
[02:08] <BackPacker> `rich: I assume Jaak_  wants to have them run at boot
[02:08] <`rich> oh
[02:08] <`rich> update-rc.d is the command to use then
[02:08] <Jaak_> mnoir, 'rich, BackPacker, I've disabled some services using the servises-admin and now i when i try to acces services-admin, it says i am not allowed to acces system configuration. So i can't undo it? Can anyone help me?
[02:08] <LjL> yeah, though it has to be said that most - if not all - services *are* set as run-at-boot by default in Ubuntu and Debian
[02:09] <emun> no thunar either i think i am hosed
[02:09] <BackPacker> Jaak_: If you know which services, I would go in in recovery mode and manually recreate the symlinks
[02:09] <LjL> Jaak_, which services did you disable?
[02:09] <cabose> anybody up to help on a little project
[02:09] <mnoir> emun - how are you looking for these tools?
[02:09] <cabose> not really much
[02:09] <BackPacker> Jaak_: might not fix the problem, though
[02:09] <cabose> just a little help needed here
[02:09] <cabose> tablet stuff
[02:09] <Riyonuk> LjL, can you save that page? I gotta reboot >_>
[02:10] <`rich> Jaak_, update-rc.d servicename defaults
[02:10] <LjL> Riyonuk: it's there in the bot, you can just type /msg ubotu ipv6disable at any time
[02:10] <n2diy> udotu smp
[02:10] <cabose> ??
[02:10] <cabose> anybody?
[02:10] <bratsche> Sorry, my mistake from earlier.. I'm using 386 kernel, but I want to use generic.  But nvidia-glx seems to require 386 kernel.
[02:10] <n2diy> ubotu smp
[02:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about smp - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:11] <Pelo> cabose,  state you problem and if someone can help they will
[02:11] <cabose> am i invisible?
[02:11] <kyja> bratsche, sorry I was busy... whats the trouble
[02:11] <cabose> oh, sorry
[02:11] <LjL> bratsche: not the nvidia-generic from the official repositories AFAIK
[02:11] <LjL> err nvidia-glx
[02:11] <cabose> didn't know if anybody could read what i typed
[02:11] <Pelo> cabose,  you are not invisible you are just not specific
[02:11] <bratsche> LjL: What do I need?
[02:11] <cabose> ok
[02:11] <cabose> sorry
[02:11] <lynucs> cabose: i can :P
[02:11] <emun> need to reinstall ubuntu on top of old installation to solve solve problem i am exhasuted trying everything else
[02:11] <Jaak_> mnoir, 'rich, BackPacker, thanks for the advice!
[02:11] <LjL> bratsche: nothing particular. i just guess you have some non-standard repositories enabled
[02:11] <`rich> Jaak_, np
[02:12] <mnoir> Jaak_: :)
[02:12] <LjL> bratsche: look in your /et/apt/sources.list
[02:12] <BackPacker> Jaak_: glad to help
[02:12] <dmc_> Any recommendations on USB wireless adapters that would be no problem at all to work with Ubuntu?
[02:12] <xAv> hello guys, i'm all new ubunu user (excuse my english, i'm french lol), and i'd like to know if it's normal for chinese characters to be displayed using random fonts ? it's kinda weird x_X
[02:12] <bratsche> LjL: Okay, sorry.. I just found the solution I think.  It was my linux-restricted-modules was set to -386 instead of -generic.
[02:12] <n2diy> ubotu French
[02:12] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[02:13] <bratsche> kyja: Nevermind.. I think it will be solved in the next reboot.
[02:13] <gaten> im getting an X error of " /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so is an unrecognized module type". could anyone give me some ideas please?
[02:13] <kyja> bratsche, good to hear. I hope it will be fine for you.
[02:13] <xAv> ok thanks, but i think i can understand english as well ;)
[02:14] <Pelo> xav if the caracters are suppose to be asian to begin with the yes it is normal,  otherwise no it is not
[02:14] <weswh-> could anyone point me to a good tutorial on using LAME to rip mp3s? I want to use the "V0" (highest quality vbr) setting. that's about all i know.
[02:15] <mnoir> xAv: sounds like it may be a locale-related problem - generally non-english channels are better at that stuff :) due to necessity
[02:15] <roach_> I'm a n00b in quite a ways over my head.  I installed Ubuntu 6.10 AMD64 (Alternate) on two 80 GB IDE drives, using XFS on LVM on RAID 1.  System has been working fine for a few weeks, including reboots, etc.  But I just had a hard shutdown (power outage that outlasted my UPS), and now it won't boot.  I get "L 99 99 99 99 ...." - apparently a LILO problem.  Any advice?  This isn't a production system, but I'd rather learn something 
[02:15] <Riyonuk> Thanks! It worked like a charm :p
[02:16] <xAv> ok, thanks, i'll ask on ubuntu-fr :p
[02:16] <gaten> roach_:  thats an error code. check here: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/LILO_Error_Codes
[02:16] <pluto>  Why do I have a 4.5 gb ISO that k3b won't burn to a 4.7 gb dvd?
[02:17] <emun> i just dragged and drop stuff onto usb drive
[02:17] <nolimitsoya> is there a way to mount an xfs making is case insensitive?
[02:18] <BackPacker> emun: simplest way to back up :-)
[02:18] <nix_ferret> emun, and...
[02:18] <gaten> !nvidia
[02:18] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:18] <crimsun> nolimitsoya: not that I'm aware.
[02:18] <nix_ferret> emun, you all setup now or what?
[02:18] <roach_> gaten: thanks!  I'm booting off the AMD64 alternate CD now, into Rescue mode...
[02:18] <nolimitsoya> crimsun, ok, thank you :)
[02:19] <cabose> anybody up to help with some compiling problems, or to point me to a precompiled package for wacomcpl
[02:19] <cabose> ?
[02:19] <emun> well i can not figure out how to bakup now, so usedthat method
[02:19] <Intelligitimate> How do I get mencoder to join together mp4 files?
[02:19] <BackPacker> emun: That *is* backing up
[02:19] <Riyonuk> Im currently downloading a .run is that like native to linux? Like .exe in windows?
[02:19] <nix_ferret> emun, lol, yeah, that's about the only way it can be done
[02:19] <BackPacker> emun: Dragging the stuff back off the USB is "restoring"
[02:19] <nix_ferret> lol
[02:20] <baxter_kylie> Hi. Can anyone tell me what is controlling my lcd-brightness whenever I plug / unplug my laptop?
[02:20] <lamebmx> hey .. my sound plays during boot but not during login .. i get a gstreamer error when i try to change non-existant volume controls when logged in .. but i have sound before the login screen?
[02:20] <gaten> roach_:  np. good luck
[02:20] <fromvega> Hello!
[02:20] <BackPacker> baxter_kylie: on my laptop, it's Klaptop's settings
[02:21] <emun> now i am going to install ubuntu on top of this lousy ubuntu installation , is there a diference restore and backup
[02:21] <BackPacker> baxter_kylie: if you're running Gnome, presumably you have something similar
[02:21] <baxter_kylie> backpacker: I was hoping for something more command-line-ish... as in the actual acpi commands that are being issued
[02:21] <n2diy> BackPacker: emun, Dragging and dropping files to a USB disk isn't a reliable way to backup, it is ok for stuff in your home directory, but other stuff can get messed up.
[02:21] <bruenig> install ubuntu on top of this ubuntu installation, seems odd
[02:21] <Erb_> My Firefox crashes whenever I try to open local videos (via 'Open File'). Does anyone know what causes this?
[02:21] <fromvega> I'm having a strange problem with my keyboard on Ubuntu Server. The key that prints [/?]  is not working! All other keys are right! Do you have any idea to correct the problem?
[02:21] <BackPacker> n2diy: Yes, I know, but we were talking about /home/user stuff
[02:22] <nix_ferret> n2diy, you should elaborate b4 emun reboots...
[02:22] <Riyonuk> Im currently downloading a .run is that like native to linux? Like .exe in windows?
[02:22] <roach_> oop.  I've booted from the 6.10 AMD64 CD into Rescue mode.  At the "Enter Rescue Mode" screen, I'm somewhat stuck.  It's asking me which device to use as root file system...  I see /dev/hda1 and /dev/hdb1, but neither works - I get an error that the mount failed in either case.
[02:22] <BackPacker> baxter_kylie: sorry, can't help there
[02:22] <n2diy> BackPacker: that should be ok.
[02:23] <emun> i got some errors but nobodt seems to know any appliaction i can use which is in my system now
[02:23] <nix_ferret> n2diy, what else would get messed up in a copy?
[02:23] <roach_> Likwise, trying "Install the LILO boot loader on a hard disk" fails with  "Could not stat device /dev/md/1 - No such file or directory."
[02:23] <n2diy> nix_ferret: emun, sym links and permissions can get broken, but nothing in /home should be effected.
[02:23] <cypruser> How do I create a new folder?
[02:23] <BackPacker> emun: we probably know quite a few apps, but we can't know what's installed on your system, we can only suggest things
[02:24] <n2diy> cypruser: mdir
[02:24] <BackPacker> cypruser: what kind of folder? Do you mean a directory? If so, use the mkdir command or a file manager
[02:24] <cypruser> n2diy: Thanks.
[02:24] <nix_ferret> emun, you should *really* tar it up for best results.
[02:24] <dennister> howdy ppl
[02:24] <flossgeek> cypruser:mkdir
[02:24] <n2diy> cypruser: whoops, that is mkdir, thanks BackPacker
[02:25] <emun> i think you are right i got some errors , can you give alist so i can check
[02:25] <BackPacker> cypruser: sometimes I think that 'alias mkfolder mkdir' would help some people a lot... :-)
[02:25] <emun> does tar require root
[02:25] <Riyonuk> Would one reccomend xpde as a desktop enviroment?
[02:26] <nix_ferret> tar -zxvf /home/username /home/username/backup? Dunno, sounds right I guess...
[02:26] <nix_ferret> Wait no x option
[02:26] <BackPacker> emun: tar just joins files together and (optionally) compresses the result. Useful if you're out of space on your USB stick
[02:26] <dennister> could someone pls give me some basic information about voip?
[02:26] <BackPacker> emun: and tar doesn't require you to be root
[02:27] <n2diy> nix_ferret: emun, also, if he is in Nautilus, he can right click on the directory, and archive it
[02:27] <nix_ferret> Tru dat, tru dat.
[02:27] <cypruser> How do I open the File Browser in root?
[02:27] <nix_ferret> alt+f2 sudo nautilus
[02:27] <BackPacker> n2diy: I think emun is a 'she', but I could be wrong. I was once before, a long time ago... :-)
[02:27] <BackPacker> nix_ferret: that should be gksu nautilus
[02:28] <dennister> eg. i don't have an actual modem for internet...i use cable hispeed, so just have onboard network...do I need an actual modem?
[02:28] <n2diy> BackPacker: whoops again. ;)
[02:28] <pengulord> hello
[02:28] <nix_ferret> BackPacker, hmmm, that works for me
[02:28] <emun> why is emun a she
[02:28] <nix_ferret> is that wrong?
[02:28] <nix_ferret> emun, lol
[02:28] <BackPacker> nix_ferret: I'm told that gksu is preferable to sudo for X-based apps
[02:28] <BackPacker> emun: Just a guess from doing 'whois' on your nick
[02:29] <nix_ferret> learn'd somethin new..
[02:29] <Intelligitimate> How do I get mencoder to join together mp4 files?
[02:29] <BackPacker> emun: apologies if I guessed wrong...
[02:29] <cypruser> Cool, thanks.
[02:29] <emun> what is whois on nick
[02:29] <LjL> dennister: uh? what does VoIP have to do with modems..?
[02:30] <n2diy> BackPacker: now see what you started! ;)
[02:30] <LjL> dennister: VoIP means Voice over Internet Protocol. what you need for VoIP is a TCP/IP stack and, to do anything useful, a soundcard
[02:30] <chronographer> hello
[02:30] <BackPacker> emun: in my IRC client (Konversation) I right-click your nick and click Whois and it tells me a few things about you. Try it with my nick in your IRC client
[02:30] <dibblego> after a locked screen, a user cannot login - the dialog claims the password is incorrect - why?
[02:30] <nix_ferret> BackPacker, Why, cause it says emma?
[02:30] <BackPacker> n2diy: should have kept quiet... :-)
[02:30] <lamebmx> ally
[02:30] <LjL> dennister: the two most widely used protocols for VoIP communication are SIP and H323. Ekiga supports both.
[02:30] <dennister> hi LjL...well, it's a phone, so i was wondering how to connect the phone line for fax or phone when i don't have a modem
[02:30] <BackPacker> nix_ferret: yes. I know, it could be a hostname or something
[02:31] <BackPacker> nix_ferret: but put it together with the nick...
[02:31] <`rich> LjL -  most widely used open protocols .. ;)
[02:31] <LjL> `rich: ssssh.
[02:31] <dennister> yes, i registered for ekiga.net
[02:31] <shaggs> hey guys how do i install themes in 6.06
[02:31] <`rich> LjL -  i know, i knooow, fight the power.
[02:32] <wayward> shaggs, either drag-and-drop them into the Theme Manager, or install them (as root) under /usr/share/themes/
[02:32] <nix_ferret> BackPacker, yeah, but it says ed after that. Very...metrosexual.
[02:32] <LjL> dennister: hm, i'm not getting you. you have a phone - a standard PSTN phone, or some kind of VoIP phone? and you need to?
[02:32] <n2diy> Does xchat have a whois option, right clicking doesn't do it?
[02:32] <dibblego> where on disk are the application icons on the GNOME panel stored?
[02:32] <dibblego> n2diy, yes it does
[02:32] <lynucs> cu
[02:32] <`rich> n2diy -  if nothing else, use /whois mr. x
[02:32] <BackPacker> nix_ferret: some people might use ed as an IRC client :-)
[02:32] <n2diy> dibblego: how do you get to it?
[02:32] <NineTeen67Comet> Hi all .. is it unusual that I store my web sites somewhere other than /var/www ? .. I keep all my sites on a shared hd ( /media/shared/shard/www ) .. So now my question is .. when I aptitude install <stuff> that is www related .. (eg: wordpress/plone/gallery2) how to I tell them where to work .. eg .. /media/shared/shared/www/<website.com> .. ? ideas?
[02:32] <emun> you have lost me there what is this irc and nick stuff
[02:33] <LjL> `rich, at any rate there are commercial SIP providers with SIP->PSTN rates below the ones of proprietary-protocol offerings that i won't mention...
[02:33] <wayward> dibblego, you're probably thinking of /usr/share/pixmaps/
[02:33] <dennister> well, i got no sound recorder set up...have a mike but that sound system is conflicting with my speaker sound card, too...i'm confused
[02:33] <dibblego> n2diy, right-click the user name
[02:33] <wayward> dibblego, although standard filetype icons are under /usr/share/icons/
[02:33] <`rich> LjL -  do tell
[02:33] <dibblego> wayward, no not the icons - the actual references to what is stored
[02:33] <dmc_> how to untar a file to root?
[02:33] <synap> Heya howla, strange question but is someone here a doctor ?
[02:33] <nix_ferret> emun, right click on a username and click whois
[02:33] <NineTeen67Comet> AM(
[02:33] <dibblego> wayward, I have to reinstall Ubuntu (yet again) because locking the screen means I have to reboot (snce I cannot log back in)
[02:33] <wayward> dibblego, for launchers or applets?
[02:33] <BackPacker> dmc_: to root what? To root's home directory?
[02:33] <dibblego> wayward, launchers
[02:33] <Remy> hi guys, I just installed ubuntu.  question - the resolution is absolutely crap (will only go up to 800 x 600) any tips on how to make it go higher?
[02:33] <nix_ferret> the output will spit out to the "FreeNode" tab
[02:33] <Remy> !resolution
[02:33] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type "sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart" in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[02:34] <NineTeen67Comet> !plone
[02:34] <n2diy> dibblego: all that does is is give me send, private, kick, ban and ignore?
[02:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about plone - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:34] <shaggs> hmm i keep getting invalid file format
[02:34] <LjL> `rich: dunno, all of the betamax services (like voipbuster.com) have decent rates i think. and they support SIP, though they have their proprietary client as well. i think www.voipuser.org is an interesting resource
[02:34] <synap> (or a medical student)
[02:34] <`rich> LjL -  ty, i'll get reading
[02:34] <roach_> ubotu rescue
[02:34] <ubotu> To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system"
[02:34] <LjL> dennister: i'm as confused tbh
[02:34] <dmc_> Backpacker: yes to /
[02:35] <dibblego> n2diy, what version of xchat?
[02:35] <wayward> dibblego, gconf:apps/panel/objects  ?
[02:35] <dibblego> where is gconf?
[02:35] <n2diy> dibblego: 0.11
[02:35] <Riyonuk> I used wget to download a file, where is it?
[02:35] <TraceGreen> Hello, I knew that i couldn't mount block device(/dev/hda for example) through loop device, but why ubuntu livecd 6.0.1 can mount my block device: mount -t vfat -o offset=*** /dev/hda /mnt/C?
[02:35] <dibblego> n2diy, I am using 2.6.6
[02:35] <wayward> dibblego, run 'gconf-editor'  (it's what regedit is under Windows... kinda)
[02:36] <flossgeek>  NineTeen67Comet: /var/www is standard location for web installs, you should set your CMS on each hard drive and then just drop your updated themes when required
[02:36] <dibblego> Riyonuk, in the directory that you ran wget from
[02:36] <BackPacker> dmc_: I'd untar it to a temp directory then move it to /
[02:36] <nix_ferret> Riyonuk, should be in your home dir
[02:36] <BackPacker> Riyonuk: it's in whichever directory you were in when you ran wget
[02:36] <n2diy> dibblego: hmmm, I guess I'm out of date, bad Ubuntu!
[02:36] <eegore> Is ther a way to get the /proc files from the live cd to work in the chroot?
[02:36] <wayward> flossgeek, I prefer /srv, conforming to FHS :)
[02:36] <BackPacker> Riyonuk: or, just as likely, in a subdirectory called 'wwww.something.or.other'
[02:37] <wiz> How can I get rid of gij without getting rid of ubuntu-desktop? I'd like to have sun java and only sun java on my system?
[02:37] <shaggs> i have downloaded CarbonitSuite-1.0.5 from gnome-look.org but it wont install any ideas?
[02:37] <baxter_kylie> Does anyone know what command is being sent to dim my laptop screen on an ac-adapter change?
[02:37] <LjL> wayward: oh, so that's where that stuff *should* reside?
[02:37] <dibblego> wayward, do you know where on disk all that is stored?
[02:37] <NineTeen67Comet> flossgeek: You mean after I apt-get plone (and zone) .. ur .. lol .. I don't know where it tossed them (it=aptitude) .. do they reside in /usr/bin?
[02:38] <adam_> is anybody willing to help me get my window borders back in compiz? nobody wants to help me in #ubuntu-xgl
[02:38] <bashir> hey
[02:38] <gaten> im getting an X error of " /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so is an unrecognized module type". could anyone give me some ideas please?
[02:38] <nolimitsoya> ok, what filesystem (exept fat*) can i mount case insensitive?
[02:38] <wayward> LjL: well /srv is conforming to FHS: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html  but /var/www is still widely used
[02:38] <adam_> if nobody is willing, where can i go? :S
[02:38] <wayward> LjL: besides, nobody is required to follow FHS :)
[02:38] <nix_ferret> adam_, I had the same problem, I just restarted x and shutdown compiz
[02:39] <nolimitsoya> adam_, to bed? ;)
[02:39] <flossgeek>  NineTeen67Comet: ah ok, well i installed plone manually and it resides in /opt
[02:39] <adam_> nix_ferret, ok
[02:39] <NineTeen67Comet> adam_: is it blinking, or are they just gone? If they are just gone that means beryl/compiz probably didn't start up or crashed .. you can maybe restart compiz or beryl .. it's all really picky .. Mine's worked great I lucked out ..
[02:39] <BackPacker> nolimitsoya: about the only one I know is CP/M
[02:39] <Riyonuk> I downloaded a .run file, when I double click it nothing happens
[02:39] <wayward> dibblego, I believe you'll find it under ~/.gconf/apps/panel/objects/
[02:39] <nolimitsoya> BackPacker, whats that? O.o
[02:39] <adam_> nolimitsoya, i just slept 18 hours xDxD
[02:39] <flossgeek>  NineTeen67Comet: Probably in your /usr/share
[02:39] <BackPacker> nolimitsoya: and I don't know if LInux has drivers for CP/M
[02:39] <wims> I can get WINE straight from the normal apt repositories now ?
[02:39] <n2diy> CP/M?
[02:39] <NineTeen67Comet> flossgeek: thanks .. I'll go locate it .. Does it have editable config files that I can tell it where the web addresses reside in the directory chain?
[02:39] <wayward> dibblego, although the preferred way to alter those is via gconf-editor or libgconf
[02:40] <adam_> NineTeen67Comet, a reboot?
[02:40] <nolimitsoya> wims, yes, but usualy an older version.add the winehq repo instead
[02:40] <bashir> hey has anyone tried an alternative to natalius, i think it is a little slow...
[02:40] <novalis> iwconfig says i'm connected to my wifi network. why does /proc/net/wireless say 0 under link?
[02:40] <bashir> natalius uses a good amount of cpu to do somehting i think should be easy
[02:40] <BackPacker> nolimitsoya: CP/M is "Control Program for Microprcessors" if memory serve me correctly. It was invented just before DOS and Gates ripped off CP/M to build DOS
[02:41] <n2diy> novalis: that is the number of your first link?
[02:41] <Speeder> has anyone gotten samba to add users/machines under ubuntu?
[02:41] <bashir> anyone know any?
[02:41] <NineTeen67Comet> adam_: I would probibly try a simple restart of X first (normally don't have to re-boot unless it's effected the kernel) .. open term and type .. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart .. or crtl+alt+backspace . (you will loose x while it reboots, and have to login again) ..
[02:41] <nolimitsoya> BackPacker, sound immensly usefull. :P fs limit of 256mb?
[02:41] <BackPacker> nolimitsoya: I used it in the early 80s. Early Amstrad computers used it
[02:41] <LjL> BackPacker: it was invented way before MS-DOS
[02:41] <BackPacker> nolimitsoya: probably something around that, yes
[02:41] <BackPacker> nolimitsoya: back then disks were 360K in size
[02:41] <flossgeek> NineTeen67Comet: i believe so check plone docs for that...
[02:42] <gaten> I'm having problems with installing nvidia drivers from the repos. i have the restricted modules for my kernel installed (and reinstalled), as well as nvidia-glx (no -settings or the other one). depmod gives me this error: WARNING: Module /lib/modules/2.6.15-27-k7/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko is not an elf object. could anyone help me?
[02:42] <adam_> NineTeen67Comet, ok
[02:42] <NineTeen67Comet> flossgeek: rodger .. thanks much .. I'm off to play .. (#plone was of no help .. lol) ..
[02:42] <chuck>  /part
[02:42] <BackPacker> nolimitsoya: Most modern filesystems are case-sensitives. Windows just never grew up...
[02:42] <NineTeen67Comet> adam_: hope it helps .. AIXGL/XGL is a pain when it's grumpy ..
[02:42] <gaten> Speeder:  from windows end or ubuntu to ubuntu?
[02:42] <flossgeek> NineTeen67Comet: documentation
[02:42] <bashir> anyone else see natailus as being slow, any alternatives or such?
[02:43] <NineTeen67Comet> flossgeek: grin .. I have googled, and doced myself sensless ..
[02:43] <wayward> bashir, why is Nautilus slow?
[02:43] <adam_> Nineteen67Comet, fully agree
[02:43] <BackPacker> bashir: I use Midnight Commander in a console. Much faster
[02:43] <dennister> ok...went through the ekiga process, but a key ingredient is the sound, so I'm sure I have to get something like sound recorder to work first as a prerequisite; my output device is set to nvidia ck804, input device AK5370 (mike) ; i try to record a test, and get nothing coming out of speakers
[02:43] <NineTeen67Comet> clear
[02:43] <flossgeek> bashir: nautilis rocks in my opnion you could try thunar
[02:43] <n2diy> I second MC
[02:43] <Speeder> gaten: from windows
[02:43] <nolimitsoya> BackPacker, neither did the windows games i try to run. hence the need :)
[02:43] <bashir> i see on my desktop widget it uses like 80% of my cpu while opening a dir
[02:43] <bashir> for like 3 seconds but still
[02:44] <gaten> Speeder:  umm, lemme try real quick. you want to share from ubuntu and have it show up on windows right?
[02:44] <wayward> bashir, that's gst-thumbnailer most likely
[02:44] <wayward> bashir, try turning off icon preview on all files
[02:44] <Speeder> gaten: sharing works, i'm trying to add a computer into the domain. Windows error message is 'Access Denied' and smdb log states that it can't open passw.tdb
[02:44] <dennister> something else i'm seeing is that, whenever i press record, it wants to change the record from input to "capture", and i don't understand the relationship between capture, the mike, master, etc.
[02:44] <xenos71> Can someone tell me what I can do to play .WMV's?
[02:44] <nolimitsoya> BackPacker, if i, by chance (or hacking some ugly fuse module), find a way - would it break anything mounting my entire /home as case insensitive?
[02:45] <Speeder> gaten:i have to run all the passw.tdb related programs through sudo... maybe that's why?
[02:45] <BackPacker> nolimitsoya: I don't know. It would break for me, cos I use KDE which relies on some files in ~
[02:45] <Intelligitimate> How do I get mencoder to join together mp4 files?
[02:45] <novalis> mitsoya> wims, yes, but usualy an older version.add the winehq repo instead
 hey has anyone tried an alternative to natalius, i think it is a little slow...

[02:45] <gaten> Speeder:  hmm. never played with that. You using windows 2003 server as DC?
[02:45] <`rich> xenos71 -  WMVs and Linux don't mix TOO well, but I find that installing the w32codecs package, and playing the files in mplayer works best.
[02:45] <BackPacker> nolimitsoya: but I can't guess how you'd do that anyway
[02:45] <LjL> Ubotu, tell Nippoo about nickspam | Nippoo, see the private message from Ubotu
[02:46] <xenos71> Where can I get w32codecs package?
[02:46] <wims> novalis, thanks
[02:46] <LjL> nolimitsoya: seeing the mount manpage, hpfs seems to be mountable case-insensitive (as does NTFS, but i suppose you don't want that). i also think HFS and maybe HFS+ are normally case insensitive, of can be set to be

[02:46] <trev_> is it ok to install native linux games that aren't from synaptic not as root?
[02:47] <LjL> nolimitsoya: what do you need to do anyway?
[02:47] <n2diy> dibblego: passwords are case sensitive.
[02:47] <`rich> trev_ -  you won't be able to install them unless you have root privileges
[02:47] <dennister> xenos71: u can find it on the falcon repository: http://seveas.theplayboymansion.net/seveas/
[02:47] <dibblego> n2diy, I'm aware of that
[02:47] <flossgeek> xenos71:http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/
[02:47] <LjL> trev_, they probably just won't install, unless they specifically provide for installation inside a user's directory
[02:47] <n2diy> dibblego: ok
[02:47] <dibblego> the password is correct - I have confirmed this
[02:47] <nolimitsoya> LjL, get some silly windows programs to run, who freak out if a file happens to be in another case than they think it should
[02:47] <trev_> rich:well i just installed alien arena,cube,cube2, and many others not as root to my home folder
[02:48] <`rich> trev_ -  and you can run them?
[02:48] <trev_> rich:i was just wondering if there were any advantages for using root, yes most of them ran'
[02:48] <wayward> trev_: some games do not require system-wide installation
[02:48] <nolimitsoya> LjL, no attention seems to have been paid what so ever to the problem, in making these programs >_<
[02:48] <roach_> it seems that Rescue mode doesn't necessarily support RAID1/LVM2??
[02:48] <n2diy> dibblego: have you configured multible keyboards?
[02:48] <`rich> trev_ -  root will let you install them properly - as wayward says - into the system

[02:48] <dibblego> n2diy, no

[02:48] <nix_ferret> What is this "easy ubuntu" I've been hearing about?

[02:49] <erlandh> Hi, I'm having a problem with an HP Printer (Photosmart 3110). Driver works, but from OOo and evince it has a "wrong paper size" error. The test print page works fine though. Any suggestions?
[02:49] <BackPacker> nix_ferret: a way of installing extra multimedia stuff. There's another one called Automatix
[02:49] <flossgeek> nix_ferret:just a package which allows you to install codecs plugins easily
[02:49] <n2diy> nix_ferret: play with RH5.2, and you'll find out.
[02:49] <flossgeek> nix_ferret but is safer than automatrix or less destructive
[02:49] <nolimitsoya> LjL, apparently something breaks for me :) renaming files in another case works, so i assume thats the problem
[02:49] <nix_ferret> O, is it like bumps?
[02:50] <Music_Shuffle> !automatix
[02:50] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[02:50] <CientificoLoco> cynical, do I need to install something else?
[02:50] <gaten> Speeder:  ahh. im afraid i have no experience with that. but all of the services should be run as root, or a user dedicated for that purpose. so the sudo idea might be correct
[02:50] <nolimitsoya> LjL, its also a problem with some games with linux binaries, who constantly complain about missing files, or fail to write configs
[02:50] <BackPacker> nix_ferret: is there any particular reason you're asking us rather than the great and wonderful Google? :-)
[02:50] <dennister> Kmix's current mixer is set to the nvidida ck805, and there are lots of options underneath, mine is set to master, but I think these settings should be different?
[02:50] <flossgeek> you reccomennd easyubuntu though right?
[02:51] <Speeder> gaten: how do i do that though?
[02:51] <erlandh> hi, can anyone help with a printing problem?
[02:51] <nix_ferret> Well, b/c "easy ubunut" doesn't brings back a gaggle of stuff...
[02:51] <wayward> Linux and Gnome in particular have notoriously been "moving targets" so binary packages better come with all the libraries statically linked in, or you'd be better off compiling from source yourself
[02:51] <roach_> can anyone point me to a good howto for installing Ubuntu 6.10 (AMD64) onto two IDE drives in (software) RAID 1, ideally using LVM...?
[02:52] <LjL> nolimitsoya, then i'm not sure even a case insensitive filesystem will help. they still *preserve* case (well, most of them do anyway, plain FAT16 for instance doesn't, but then it means it's seen as either all-uppercase or all-lowercase in Linux). and WINE itself already "pretends" the filesystem is case preserving but insensitive
[02:52] <roach_> I thought I'd done it, but now my system won't boot, and I can't seem to fix it...  :(
[02:52] <Intelligitimate> How do I get mencoder to join together mp4 files?
[02:52] <LjL> nolimitsoya: anyway, what's the problem with just renaming said files?
[02:52] <BackPacker> nix_ferret: I just entered "Easy Ubuntu" in Google and hit "I'm feeling lucky", and guess what came up...
[02:52] <Music_Shuffle> Easy Ubuntu?
[02:52] <Music_Shuffle> Wth for?
[02:52] <Music_Shuffle> Ubuntu IS easy.
[02:53] <CientificoLoco> how do I install software for shoutcast? In windows I used to use "WinAmp and its own ShoutCast" ...
[02:53] <Music_Shuffle> CientificoLoco, to record?
[02:53] <BackPacker> Music_Shuffle: http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/
[02:53] <nolimitsoya> LjL, when there are loads (hundreds for some games) of them and the casing isnt obvious (sometimes it wants lowercase,sometimesupper, sometimes upper on first letter etc) its just overwhelming :)
[02:53] <Music_Shuffle> Yeah, I meant 'Why would anyone need it?'
[02:53] <gaten> Speeder:  sorry, like i said ive never connected to ubuntu, only the other way around.
[02:53] <BackPacker> nix_ferret: I just got lucky, I guess... :-)
[02:53] <LjL> !info icecast-server | CientificoLoco

[02:53] <nolimitsoya> LjL, i guess i should try reinstalling wine to begin with... something is obviously broken...
[02:54] <CientificoLoco> Music_Shuffle, to transmit..
[02:54] <emil_> what schould be the resolution of skydome images
[02:54] <emil_> help please
[02:54] <dennister> i mean there's master, master mono, PCM, surround, center, LFE, line, cd, mic, phone, 2 entries for IEC958 Playback AC07, the pc speaker, aux, and capture...would love to get surround sound going, but sorting out output device and input for recording (mike) is priority now, but the mic needs a different mixer setting, too...???
[02:54] <CientificoLoco> LjL, what does it mean?
[02:54] <Intelligitimate> Why will no one help me?
[02:54] <Music_Shuffle> Then what LjL said is what you need.
[02:54] <wayward> Intelligitimate, have you read the mencoder manual?
[02:54] <`rich> Intelligitimate -  I'll bet that nobody knows how to.
[02:54] <nolimitsoya> LjL, ive spent hours just getting qw/ezquake working, renaming pak:s, configs and texturens in absurdum :P
[02:54] <LjL> CientificoLoco: it means there is a program called icecast-server that is an "MPEG Layer III Streaming Server" present in Ubuntu's Universe component
[02:54] <n2diy> Intelligitimate: nobody knows the answer.
[02:54] <Ca> Hi
[02:54] <LjL> nolimitsoya: yeah, honestly it sounds more like a problem with wine than with the programs...
[02:55] <BackPacker> Intelligitimate: I'd be looking at ways to convert MP4 into something else, then look for something to join *that*, then convert back again
[02:55] <wayward> Intelligitimate, that sort of question is best answered by reading the manual and experimenting
[02:55] <aleka> I've had trouble with  Beryl using too much cpu in the past and haven't used it in a while, but since yesterday's update, I was curious to see what is new and I am using it now.. X.org alone is using 70% cpu .. .is this normal??
[02:55] <Intelligitimate> I am trying to join mp4 files together. Someone here told me to try mencoder, but it doesn't work.
[02:55] <BackPacker> Intelligitimate: but I bet that would lose quality
[02:55] <LjL> !doesn't work | ill

[02:55] <wayward> aleka, XGL seems *Very* buggy to me
[02:55] <aleka> wayward, I think I am using AIGLX
[02:56] <wayward> aleka, Firefox displaying a page with animated GIFs throws XGL into a 99% CPU-rage
[02:56] <ivanhoe> what is the comand to refresh the ip in dhcp
[02:56] <flossgeek> be honest my aiglx and beryl aint to bad
[02:56] <achandra> ivanhoe: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart should do it.
[02:56] <nolimitsoya> ivanhoe, cant you just do up/down?
[02:57] <wayward> aleka, then I'd better check its performance on my desktop as well ^^
[02:57] <nolimitsoya> *down/up
[02:57] <CientificoLoco> LjL, oh thanks I will check it..
[02:57] <aleka> I am playing music and browsing, and just scrolling in FF makes the sound choppy.. this is weird.. how are others successfuly using beryl?
[02:57] <alex_mayorga> hi, is this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver valid for an ATI rage mobiliy laptop card?
[02:57] <CientificoLoco> thaks ..
[02:57] <Music_Shuffle> aleka, doesn't happen to me.
[02:57] <ivanhoe> yes i only want change mi ip
[02:57] <tito_linux> Do I install the linux-686-smp package to get dual core working?
[02:57] <wayward> aleka, are you sure it's Beryl's doing?  Sounds like something a window manager shouldn't do
[02:57] <ivanhoe> to enter at megaupload
[02:58] <dennister> tito_linux: what version of ubuntu?
[02:58] <Music_Shuffle> Curious, what the HTTP Cache Cleaner?
[02:58] <tito_linux> 6.10
[02:58] <Music_Shuffle> Or rather, is ther eany way to stop it?
[02:58] <CientificoLoco> LjL, I have installed but I can not execute it ...
[02:58] <dennister> ok...then u don't
[02:58] <lamebmx> aleka, hey im using beryl ... and its know to have ff scrolling issues
[02:58] <wayward> aleka, although I can't claim for certain
[02:58] <aleka> x.org uses that much chunk of the cpu whenever I login using beryl
[02:58] <BackPacker> ivanhoe: "change my ip" isn't the same as "refresh the ip"
[02:58] <tito_linux> How do I get it working?
[02:58] <LjL> nolimitsoya: http://wiki.winehq.org/CaseInsensitiveFilenames - just to prove wine *does* provide case-insensitive files...
[02:58] <lamebmx> aleka, mine is sometimes really fast .. toher times its really slow
[02:58] <ivanhoe> ah
[02:58] <dennister> my dual core works with linux...hold on a sec
[02:58] <ivanhoe> sorry
[02:59] <erlandh> hello, can anyone point me to some help with a printer (I've tried OpenPrinting and UbuntuWiki)
[02:59] <nolimitsoya> LjL, thank you :) recompile on the way
[02:59] <LjL> CientificoLoco: never used it. perhaps reading the man page would help, and if you can't find the manpage and/or the executable, "dpkg -L icecast-server"
[02:59] <alex_mayorga> or what should I do to do an xorg reconfigure, I had to resort to vesa to get an usable laptop
[02:59] <dennister> tito_linux: my dual core works with 2.6.17-10-generic
[02:59] <ivanhoe> but in windows is posible with a commamd in dos
[02:59] <gaten> tito_linux:  are u using intel or amd?
[02:59] <alex_mayorga> but now I'd like to get the tiny bit of graphic acceleration my laptop used to have
[02:59] <BackPacker> ivanhoe: taking your interface down then up will probably give you the same IP as the lease won't have run out
[02:59] <tito_linux> cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep '^processor' | wc -l Says I ahve 1 CPU
[02:59] <GoldSmith> can i upgrade an ubuntu server install to the latest desktop .. or do i need to burn and reinstall the desktop ?

[03:00] <ivanhoe> and what can i do_
[03:00] <roach_> seeking advice on installing Ubuntu 6.10 (AMD64) onto 2 IDE drives using software RAID 1 and LVM.  Any good howto guides out there?
[03:00] <jlowell> hey folks, dvd drive will not automount... is there anything I can do?
[03:00] <gaten> tito_linux:  then you probably dont have smp enabled. for my amd x2, i installed the k7 kernel
[03:01] <gaten> tito_linux:  for intel dc, i think its something different
[03:01] <dennister> roach_: first of all, avoid amd64, or any 64-bit package
[03:01] <tito_linux> This is an AMD x2
[03:01] <jlowell> actually it wont even manually mount unless I reboot the machine with it in the drive
[03:01] <BackPacker> GoldSmith: 'apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' should do the job, but best to do apt-get upgrade first
[03:01] <jlowell> then it automounts
[03:01] <GoldSmith> yeah i installed the desktop
[03:01] <BackPacker> GoldSmith:  sorry, meant 'apt-get update' first
[03:01] <dennister> i have an amd x2 3800+, and i wasted months with trying to get 64-bit packages to work
[03:01] <lamebmx> i just got done doin that
[03:02] <tito_linux> dennister: Exact same CPU
[03:02] <BackPacker> GoldSmith: Oh, you mean you want the Feisty version?
[03:02] <gaten> tito_linux:  ok, same thing i have. install the k7 kernel. u will have to reinstall any gfx drivers
[03:02] <GoldSmith> BackPacker: yes
[03:02] <erlandh> can anyone help me with printing please?
[03:02] <tito_linux> DAMN! It took ages to isntal gfx drivers
[03:02] <jlowell> hello anyone??
[03:02] <gaten> tito_linux:  hehe i know. mine still arent working
[03:02] <flossgeek> gaten:edgy uses a generic kernel
[03:02] <lamebmx> well tito_linux  each time goes a lil faster and a lil faster
[03:02] <alex_mayorga> erlandh, what's the problem?
[03:02] <dennister> yes, it's very popular, now I did have a problem with only 1 cpu working with a previous installation
[03:02] <ivanhoe> what is the problem with your printer
[03:02] <nix_ferret> Just a tip 4 all the n00bs like me, if your video is choppy in mediaplayer, switch the connection speed to LAN or 1.5Mb.
[03:03] <Speeder> does anyone here use samba as DC?
[03:03] <lamebmx> tito_linux, it took me like 3 days to get ubuntu installed lol
[03:03] <tito_linux> What is the name of the k7 package I need?
[03:03] <BackPacker> GoldSmith: apt-get dist-upgrade would update the lot, but you'd need to boil a lot of coffee...
[03:03] <erlandh> Open Office and Evince make a paper size error on my HP. Test page from the driver works fine though. Thanks
[03:03] <gaten> flossgeek:  woops. didnt realise he was talking about edgy
[03:03] <flossgeek> tito_linux you running edgy
[03:03] <tito_linux> yeah
[03:03] <dennister> but that was the ubuntu-server 6.10, _ dekstops, plus the linux-generic, and then linux-386
[03:03] <flossgeek> tito_linux dont need to change it
[03:03] <jlowell> I feel totally invisible
[03:03] <tito_linux> It only detects 1 CPU though
[03:03] <BackPacker> jlowell: did you have a question?
[03:04] <erlandh> alex_mayorga, Open Office and Evince make a paper size error on my HP. Test page from the driver works fine though. Thanks
[03:04] <GoldSmith> wont dist-upgrade upgrade as a server ?
[03:04] <jlowell> BackPacker: yes I'll ask it again:
[03:04] <flossgeek> tito_linux:ah
[03:04] <Riyonuk> does running windows on ubuntu require lots of ram, cpu, etc?
[03:04] <gaten> Nvidia driver problems.

[03:05] <dennister> although not in amd64-bit mode...64-bit OS's not worth the time, not ready yet

[03:06] <dennister> if not, you may have the wrong base...linux-image-2.6.17-10-generic, i believe
[03:06] <BackPacker> jlowell: I don't know how to fix your problem, sorry. But I wanted to let you know you weren't invisible. Maybe no one else knows the answer, either
[03:06] <alex-weej> albar: you need to install a local copy of gnu tar
[03:07] <alex-weej> albar: and then reinstall the tar package
[03:07] <alex-weej> albar: then remove the local copy
[03:07] <tito_linux> dennister: All the 2.6.17-10-generic packages are installed

[03:13] <ddwagnz> hola all
[03:13] <alex-weej> albar: http://spark.us.weej.net/~alex/tar - download that
[03:13] <GoldSmith> its fetching upgrades for a server.. and so it should
[03:13] <alex-weej> save it in /usr/local/bin
[03:13] <masterk> wow... I typed in my name in google, pressed "I'm feeling lucky" and found out that I'm an author of christian books...
[03:13] <gaten> tito_linux:  the one i use on drapper is linux-k7
[03:13] <ddwagnz> haha
[03:13] <dennister> yes, and i did have that same problem he did with my last installation
[03:13] <alex-weej> albar: (you will need to do that as root, do you know how to do that?)
[03:13] <dron1> Hi people
[03:13] <BackPacker> lamebmx: you should have more entries than that
[03:13] <ddwagnz> hay is there a link to any screens to ubuntu?
[03:14] <dennister> i have no idea how or what i did differently with this installation
[03:14] <lcatta> im trying to get my network card working, and i keep getting network not found, can anyone help?
[03:14] <alex-weej> ddwagnz: http://images.google.com/search?q=ubuntu
[03:14] <albar> alex-weej: done
[03:14] <tito_linux> What are the names of the k7 packages?
[03:14] <alex-weej> albar: chmod +x /usr/bin/local/tar
[03:14] <ddwagnz> alex-weej, cheers
[03:14] <alex-weej> oops
[03:14] <alex-weej> albar: wrong sorry..
[03:14] <alex-weej> albar: chmod +x /usr/local/bin/tar
[03:14] <roach_> dennister - did you install Ubuntu x86 on your AMD X2 3800+?
[03:14] <BackPacker> lamebmx: I have ten lines returned by lsmod with 'snd' in them
[03:14] <gaten> tito_linux:  thats the name. linux-k7. its the link to the newest k7 kernel
[03:15] <SubMOA> kay, so i have abuot 100 skins that are tarballed and I would like to make a script to untar them all in a skins directory, any ideas?
[03:15] <MenZaLap> What's a good application to translate .po files?
[03:15] <dron1> Does anyone has experience with installing an
[03:15] <dennister> no, i installed ubuntu-server 6.10 first, then linux-image-2.6.17-10-generic
[03:15] <tito_linux> What about linux-k7-smp?
[03:15] <alex-weej> albar: now try installing stuff again
[03:15] <dron1> Intel 3945abg wireless card in Ubuntu release 6.10?
[03:16] <albar> alex-weej: ehm, /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 version GLIBC_2.5 not fond
[03:16] <dennister> tito, our cpu's are actually k8
[03:16] <gaten> SubMOA:  u could simply copy them all to the same directory and unpack them there ignoring directory structure inside the files
[03:16] <albar> 2.4, not 2.5 err
[03:16] <albar> damn
[03:16] <albar> :)
[03:16] <aleka> what torrent clients would you guys recommend.. this first one I ever tried [qBittorrent]  is downloading at a rate of 5KB/s and I am on a cable connection..
[03:16] <alienseer23> help, please, I cannot get my sound to work
[03:16] <tito_linux> dennister: So it won't work?
[03:16] <BackPacker> aleka: Azureus is nice and fast
[03:16] <dennister> no, tito_linux
[03:16] <alex-weej> albar: piss.
[03:16] <aleka> BackPacker: I have read some posts about it being java based and consuming cpu and Mem
[03:16] <alex-weej> albar: it looks like you'll either need to bootstrap your system, or just install from scratch
[03:16] <tito_linux> So I can't use dual core?
[03:17] <BackPacker> aleka: I get 20-25 with Azureus
[03:17] <albar> damn, i wont reinstall all the system :>
[03:17] <dennister> azureus is a pig for memory though, and you need very sun-good java working
[03:17] <SubMOA> gaten, well, i highlighted them all and clicked "Extract here" but i got errors so the effect of "Cannot create same file"
[03:17] <albar> ok
[03:17] <BackPacker> aleka: that may be what makes it fast...
[03:17] <alex-weej> albar: i'm afraid things are pretty messed up - what exactly went wrong?
[03:17] <dennister> and the version of azureus in the repos is very out-of-date
[03:17] <alex-weej> albar: because if you were doing something normal, you should probably report it as a bug
[03:17] <aleka> any other recommendations form personal experience?? {topic Torrent clients] 
[03:17] <albar> alex-weej: upgrade from dapper to edgy
[03:17] <alienseer23> I have a fresh edgy install and the sound won't kick in for my soundblaster live card
[03:17] <dennister> i use ktorrent, and hated it at first cause it kept stalling, but then it does stop the stalling b4 too long
[03:17] <alex-weej> aleka: i like the official bittorrent client
[03:18] <dron1> Azureus is just fine, unless you have a slow machine.
[03:18] <albar> alex-weej: maybe i need the dapper's tar?
[03:18] <lamebmx> BackPacker, thats the driver for it ... ill see how many snd lines i get
[03:18] <kd7swh> can anyone help me with ffmpeg
[03:18] <dron1> Otherwise uTorrent in Wine
[03:18] <gaten> SubMOA:  then they probably have the same name. you'll need to extract them and rename them
[03:18] <alex-weej> albar: how were you upgrading?
[03:18] <dennister> dron1: i use to love azureus, and i have an extremely fast machine, but it's not for everyone
[03:18] <albar> alex-weej: as usually, aptitude update and dist-upgrade
[03:18] <lamebmx> BackPacker, i got 10 lines also
[03:18] <albar> nothing new
[03:18] <SubMOA> gaten, ok, thganks, I'll mess around with it
[03:19] <alex-weej> albar: you are WAY better off using the update manager for this kind of thing
[03:19] <lamebmx> BackPacker, though i see lots of oss stuff
[03:19] <BackPacker>  aleka: I have 768MB RAM on my PC and 512MB on my laptop, and using Azureus doesn't slow things down noticeably
[03:19] <alex-weej> albar: as the update manager babysits much more than synaptic or aptitude (or apt-get)
[03:19] <gaten> tito_linux:  i have linux-k7 installed and it sees both my processors just fine
[03:19] <dron1> You can do quite some tweaking to reduce the memory and cpu usage with Azureus
[03:19] <albar> alex-weej: well, ok. next time :)
[03:19] <kd7swh> i am having problems converting an ogm file can anyone help me
[03:19] <dennister> i get much better speeds with ktorrent than i ever did with azureus
[03:19] <alex-weej> kd7swh: what's the problem.
[03:19] <albar> now is done, damn me :)
[03:19] <BackPacker> lamebmx: have a look through /var/log/dmesg to see if there are any error messages relating to the sound card. Maybe /var/log/messages as well
[03:19] <dron1> I never used Kottrent
[03:19] <ubuntu_> where you get this speed
[03:19] <aleka> BackPacker: thanks.. will give it a try....do I need to install sun-java for it to work though?
[03:20] <kd7swh> alex-weej, ffmpeg says "error while opening file"
[03:20] <dron1> Maybe you're using different connection settings in Ktorrent
[03:20] <aleka> alex-weej: thanks as well.. I am looking into adding the officaial bittorent client into my apps menu .. hope it has built in search capabilities
[03:20] <albar> someone have the dapper's tar binary? please.
[03:20] <kd7swh> alex-weej, vlc, and mplayer play to ogm fine and I have a newly compiled ffmpeg with extra codec support
[03:20] <dron1> I never encountered a bittorrent client where I could not achieve high dl speeds
[03:20] <dennister> tito_linux: u still here? how much work have u put into this installation?
[03:21] <BackPacker> aleka: Don't know. I have Sun Java on my system, but I don't know if Azureus needs that particular version
[03:21] <kd7swh> alex-weej, the* ogm
[03:21] <alex_mayorga> can anyone tell if http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=7200&page=2 is on track for my ATI card?
[03:21] <lamebmx> BackPacker, i get the boot up sound ...
[03:21] <dennister> hi bipolar
[03:21] <BackPacker> dron1: KTorrent was slow on my machine, Azureus was fine
[03:21] <dron1> I could use some help with getting my Intel 3945 ABG wireless adapter to work
[03:21] <aleka> ohhh.. the Bittoerent client requires you to download the .torrent files yourself?
[03:21] <goldbond> i am trying to install apache and ubuntu/debian has changed the config files, so the internet resources are useless. i can't find any debian specific resources. is anyone running apache2 with ubuntu , if so how did you get /etc/init.d/apache2 to work properly?
[03:22] <dron1> The advice on the Ubuntu forums isn't helpfull in my case
[03:22] <BackPacker> lamebmx: what do you mean by "the boot up sound"? The sound that's played when your desktop has loaded?
[03:22] <alex-weej> goldbond: what do you mean "work properly"?
[03:22] <kd7swh> alex-weej, the ogm is in theroa-vorbis format and I want ffmpeg to convert it to a xvid-lame
[03:22] <masterk> wow, have you guys heard about the "new" aol. I thought aol was in some lawsuit a while back for not letting someone cancel thier services
[03:22] <lamebmx> no
[03:22] <goldbond> well */apache2 start doesn't start it
[03:22] <dron1> The adapter shows up with iwconfig
[03:22] <goldbond> so i would like to start with that
[03:22] <dron1> Ieee80211 stack is installed and ipwdemon is running
[03:22] <alex-weej> kd7swh: does it play with gstreamer apps (e.g. totem)?
[03:22] <lamebmx> BackPacker, the music before the login screen ... but after hitting enter for my password the sound dont play
[03:23] <dron1> Installed wpa suppliant
[03:23] <Red-Sox> How do I take a video like a screenshot...but a video?
[03:23] <alex-weej> goldbond: what happens when you run /etc/init.d/apache2 start?
[03:23] <arrenlex> Red-Sox: xvidcap
[03:23] <Red-Sox> kk
[03:23] <kd7swh> alex-weej, yes totem worked too
[03:23] <dron1> Set the right ssid, method, apssword with keyprhase command
[03:23] <alex-weej> kd7swh: in that case, try this
[03:23] <goldbond> alex-week: nothing
[03:23] <Red-Sox> arrenlex: Not in the repost? :(
[03:23] <dron1> Wireless just isn't coming up
[03:23] <apokryphos> Red-Sox: screenkast
[03:23] <apokryphos> !info screenkast
[03:23] <ubotu> Package screenkast does not exist in any distro I know
[03:23] <dron1> Wireless switch on laptop is on
[03:23] <BackPacker> lamebmx: I don't get music before my login screen, but then I use kdm. It looks like your sound card  should work. What is it that makes you think it isn't workign?
[03:23] <goldbond> alex-week: but when i just sudo apache2,the server works fine
[03:23] <apokryphos> bleh
[03:23] <dron1> It's driving me nuts
[03:23] <Red-Sox> !info xvidcap
[03:24] <ubotu> Package xvidcap does not exist in any distro I know
[03:24] <alex-weej> kd7swh: actually sorry
[03:24] <alex-weej> kd7swh: if you can find a gstreamer transcoding tool that will work
[03:24] <rcbaxter> Istanbul in multiverse
[03:24] <alex-weej> Istanbul is the way to go
[03:24] <arrenlex> rcbaxter: universe
[03:24] <rcbaxter> err uni...
[03:24] <kd7swh> alex-weej, do you know the name of one?
[03:25] <alex-weej> kd7swh: afraid not. if you ask on #gstreamer someone might be able to help you
[03:25] <Red-Sox> it's aight xvidcap has a .deb
[03:25] <Red-Sox> thanks guys
[03:25] <cynical> kd7swh: you trying to convert from ogm to avi?
[03:25] <lamebmx> BackPacker, no sound will play .. and i get errors on the sound apps ... but the sound plays before i arrive at the login screen so at the base level sound is working ... but in my user area its not
[03:25] <kd7swh> cynical, yes
[03:25] <alex-weej> goldbond: precisely what happens when you run "/etc/init.d/apache2 start"? is any message printed?
[03:25] <goldbond> no
[03:25] <BackPacker> lamebmx: do you have another user you could log in to, and see if you can get sound as that user?
[03:25] <flyinghippo> Has anyone here been able to getting screen resolutions besides the ones provided to work?  I am trying to get a 1280x800 resolution working on my laptop
[03:26] <lamebmx> nope but thats an idea
[03:26] <cynical> kd7swh: have you tried avidemux? It has support for both formats.
[03:26] <goldbond> (98): make_sock: could not bind to address [::] :443

[03:26] <alex-weej> goldbond: if so, have a look at it
[03:26] <kd7swh> cynical, yes I tried that avidemux would not open my ogm for some strange reason
[03:26] <alex-weej> ogm != avi

[03:30] <alex-weej> goldbond: ok, you found it
[03:30] <BackPacker> lamebmx: Very strange! Never heard of that before. Maybe it's a sound driver problem. I guess you're using esound under Gnome?
[03:30] <nix_ferret> anyone here use bumps?
[03:30] <Erb_> How would I add 'xhost +' in my .bashrc? Can I just put it anywhere?

[03:33] <alex-weej> goldbond: the service won't start up unless you enable the daemon
[03:33] <variant> Red-Sox: try istanbul, it is much more up to date and very easy to use
[03:33] <goldbond> alex-weej: oh. how?
[03:33] <White_Lightning> does anyone know (I know, this isn't an ubuntu question) how to change the default server that bitchx connects to?

[03:36] <alex-weej> Erb_: because it's not the right place - when you start an X11 session your .bashrc is NOT run
[03:36] <alex-weej> Erb_: only when you start bash is it run
[03:36] <bruenig> aleka, I used firestarter to open my bittorrent port
[03:36] <crimsun> lamebmx: amixer set 'External Amplifier' off
[03:36] <crimsun> lamebmx: then try playing music again
[03:36] <Wavesonics> hi
[03:37] <JBLoudG20> hey, does anyone have lenovo 3000 experience with ubuntu?
[03:37] <aleka> bruenig: I do have that program, time to use it.. can I ask stupid questions if I have any as I go about doing this?
[03:37] <alex-weej> goldbond: there is surely more than one line in that file
[03:37] <Wavesonics> i have an onboard sound card and a PCI sound card, how can i select my PCI 1 for output?
[03:37] <SubMOA> how would one go about bringing up the equivalent of Window's Ctrl+Alt+Delete
[03:37] <crimsun> Wavesonics: asoundconf list
[03:37] <SubMOA> ...i'm running at 100% CPU
[03:37] <AM> can help me about install a apache friends on ubuntu ???
[03:37] <Wavesonics> thanks
[03:37] <goldbond> alex-weej: no this is the entire file:
[03:37] <goldbond> # 0 = start on boot; 1 = don't start on boot
[03:37] <goldbond> NO_START=1
[03:37] <crimsun> Wavesonics: you're supposed to tell me what that outputs
[03:37] <Erb_> alex-weej: I'm trying to do what this guy did: http://groups.google.com.au/group/comp.os.linux.x/msg/9681681a9c277903?hl=en&
[03:37] <kitche> SubMOA: open up a terminal and type in top
[03:38] <alex-weej> goldbond: why did you not paste the NO_START=1 bit?
[03:38] <goldbond> alex-weej: (/etc/default/apache2)
[03:38] <SubMOA> ...with nothing really running... well, eye candy crap, but thats it...s hould be 100% right?
[03:38] <kitche> SubMOA: but you can't kill processes from there
[03:38] <Wavesonics>  asoundconf list
[03:38] <alex-weej> goldbond: change to NO_START=0... i think the comment speaks for itself.
[03:38] <lamebmx> crimsun, still gettin the same No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. error when i try to adjust the sound via the panel applet
[03:38] <Wavesonics> Names of available sound cards:
[03:38] <Wavesonics> SI7012
[03:38] <Wavesonics> Live
[03:38] <goldbond> alex-weej: wow, thanks
[03:38] <SubMOA> kitche where what i kill them from?
[03:38] <crimsun> Wavesonics: asoundconf set-default-card Live
[03:38] <rcbaxter> SubMOA: ps -e to list processes from terminal.
[03:38] <bruenig> aleka, essentially open firestarter, go to the last tab, think it is called policy, right click in the box that says allow service, and then click add rule, the rest should be pretty simple, make sure you check the apply policy think at the top when you are done, then exit
[03:38] <Wavesonics> wow, crimsun are u a bot?
[03:38] <crimsun> Wavesonics: no, why?
[03:38] <Wavesonics> fast respond lol
[03:38] <rcbaxter> SubMOA then kill pidNumber
[03:39] <Wavesonics> thanks!
[03:39] <crimsun> Wavesonics: I wrote that; I should know.
[03:39] <Wavesonics> i love open source :)
[03:39] <pianoboy3333> I'm trying to install the svn of mplayer with checkinstall/dpkg, but it wants to overwrite my mencoder package, how do I tell dpkg that's it's ok to only overwrite mencoder? I wanna see what other libs and crap it'll overwrite.
[03:39] <bruenig> aleka, make sure it is inbound policy not outbound
[03:39] <aleka> bruenig: in setting up firestarter, do I want to tell it to "share" my internet connection? I only have just this machine hooked up to my router atm though
[03:39] <Wavesonics> anything else i need to do after that?
[03:39] <Wavesonics> i executing that command
[03:39] <crimsun> pianoboy3333: don't use checkinstall. Use the existing packaging infrastructure for mplayer.
[03:39] <SubMOA> so i type "kill #3" if iw anted to kill the 3rdd one
[03:39] <nix_ferret> anyone here use bumps?
[03:39] <crimsun> Wavesonics: adjust your volume
[03:39] <seamus7> Hi... any brilliant Ubuntu experts able to figure this out: I have a problem with my video driver .... when booting into recovery mode it stops at the following errors...  unable to execute "/bin/sh" for rcS and rc-default
[03:39] <kitche> SubMOA: no it's kill and the PID which you can find either in ps -e or top
[03:40] <bruenig> aleka, I don't know, all I did is what I said and it worked, so I stopped
[03:40] <rcbaxter> SubMOA kill 3
[03:40] <crimsun> lamebmx: is ``aplay /usr/share/sounds/startup.wav'' audible?
[03:40] <seamus7> the boot process stops that is
[03:40] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: but then it'll screw up my packages and such, I think it wants to install a crap load of libraries installed already from edgy, like libavccodecs
[03:40] <SubMOA> kitiche, ok, but it will be in that list... so... type "top" find the number of the process i want to kill, then type "kill x"
[03:40] <SubMOA> where x, obviously, would be my number
[03:40] <aleka> this is on first time run of firestarter.. I guess I will just go with default options just to get it started
[03:40] <lamebmx> crimsun, yes it is
[03:41] <crimsun> pianoboy3333: no, you're not listening. Use the infrastructure, not the package.
[03:41] <lamebmx> crimsun, hooray
[03:41] <spike723> window 5
[03:41] <lamebmx> crimsun, u rock
[03:41] <kitche> SubMOA: yep
[03:41] <crimsun> lamebmx: good.
[03:41] <SubMOA> also, beryl seems to be using 100% (or close too) of my CPU, and suggestions?
[03:41] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: what do you mean?
[03:41] <SubMOA> kitche, thanks
[03:41] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: wouldn't that be make install?
[03:41] <crimsun> pianoboy3333: no.
[03:41] <lamebmx> SubMOA,  disable water and snow to start with
[03:41] <crimsun> pianoboy3333: each Debian package has packaging infrastructure. Use it.
[03:41] <lamebmx> and blur effects
[03:41] <SubMOA> lamebmx
[03:41] <SubMOA> rgr
[03:42] <lamebmx> SubMOA, if that fixes it then go back through enabling them ... some effects dont like some cards ...
[03:42] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: either it's the fact it's late here, or I've just no idea what you are talking about, how would I take advantage of such a packaging infrastructure
[03:42] <orangefly> i have proftpd installed on my server....how do i limit access for other users to there home directory.....???....
[03:42] <aleka> bruenig: in adding a rule in the inbound traffic policy, the options I have are <allow connection from : Ip, host> and <comments>, for azuers, how would I know what ip or host the connection is coming from.. again I apologize of my questions are too elimentary
[03:42] <SubMOA> that seems to not be working lamebmx
[03:43] <seamus7> How can I mount my linux file system from a live CD? My system is frozen and inaccessible even through the recovery mode ... I get Unable to execute /bin/sh errors when booting up in recovery mode
[03:43] <bruenig> aleka, don't put anything in the top box, the ones with hosts. Just add the port to the bottom box and make sure it says available to everyone
[03:43] <crimsun> pianoboy3333: apt-get source mplayer
[03:43] <crimsun> pianoboy3333: then use the existing debian/
[03:43] <lamebmx> SubMOA, kill beryl .. then do glxinfo | grep direct
[03:43] <crimsun> pianoboy3333: adjust the files as per necessary
[03:44] <alex-weej> seamus7: sudo mkdir /SOMEFOLDER; sudo mount /dev/SOMEPARTITION /SOMEFOLDER
[03:44] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: oh, I see what you're saying, make real debs
[03:44] <lamebmx> and pastbin ur xorg.conf file
[03:44] <pianoboy3333> I'll do that, but I can't sign them, I forgot my gpg password :(
[03:44] <seamus7> alex-weej: ok thx
[03:44] <amicrawle> how do i find my network printer in kde
[03:44] <crimsun> pianoboy3333: signing or not signing makes no difference
[03:44] <pianoboy3333> I know
[03:44] <Wavesonics> crim, still no sound from my PCI card and plugging into my onboard still has sound
[03:44] <Wavesonics> all volume is unmuted and all the way up for both
[03:44] <aleka> bruenig: now that I have enabled this firewall, I can not access my webserver (using port forwarding on my router to point to my machine for the webserver)
[03:45] <Wavesonics> srry net problems
[03:45] <lamebmx> crimsun, audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open resource for writing. is what i get when playing a test sound in preferences
[03:45] <crimsun> Wavesonics: place the output from ``amixer'' onto http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[03:45] <lamebmx> crimsun, think this may just be a codecs issue?
[03:45] <bruenig> aleka, again, I am an ignorant moron when it comes to firewalls. I pointed and clicked my way to opening my bittorrent port and that is all I know
[03:45] <SubMOA> lamebmx, I got a "direct rendering: Yes"
[03:45] <bruenig> perhaps !worksforme should be used here
[03:46] <Vuen> hey all, i have a form mailer on my website that keeps breaking. i want to stick a small script in my crontab that will automatically fill out this script once a day so i get a daily test email to make sure it's working. does anyone know how to do this?
[03:46] <lamebmx> SubMOA, what kind of vid card?
[03:46] <SubMOA> nvidia
[03:46] <SubMOA> umm
[03:46] <SubMOA> one sec
[03:46] <orangefly> i have proftpd installed on my server....how do i limit access for other users to there home directory.....???....
[03:46] <crimsun> lamebmx: did you create an asoundrc? If so, pastebin it.
[03:46] <amicrawle> any clue>
[03:46] <SubMOA> 7600 GT KO, the GeForce
[03:46] <Erb_> How do I run x11 commands as a user instead of www-data?
[03:47] <lamebmx> crimsun, i did not directly create it ... im on a crazy install that is half rockin and half limpin at the moment
[03:47] <SubMOA> well I don't want to jinx anything, lamebmx, but killing the process and restarting it has seemed to work
[03:47] <alex-weej> Erb_: what do you mean "x11 command"?
[03:47] <Wavesonics> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39102/
[03:47] <SubMOA> good ole' hoodoo voodoo
[03:47] <docmur> anyone know if grub can be set to boot USB devices
[03:47] <lamebmx> crimsun, i got some weird termininal shell where tab and arrow keys dont work .. just shows # on it
[03:47] <lamebmx> there ya go
[03:47] <lamebmx> SubMOA, when did you install it and how did you start it?
[03:47] <SubMOA> lamebmx, do you think that re-enableing all that stuff will just boost it up again, or do youu think that it might have just been a bug
[03:48] <Erb_> alex-weej: please see http://groups.google.com.au/group/linux.debian.user/browse_thread/thread/39acc2665101e788/8b18481fa7649ba6?hl=en#8b18481fa7649ba6
[03:48] <lamebmx> crimsun, where would i find that file
[03:48] <SubMOA> lamebmx, i installed it yesterday, and i went to the red gem in my task manager thing and where i can select "Gnome metacity" or "beryl" i switched it to "Beryl"
[03:48] <alex-weej> Erb_: if i were you i'd do this with a client-server jobby over an IPC mechanism like D-Bus
[03:48] <gaten>  if the nvidia driver versions in my kernel and X modules are different, how would i go about fixing that?
[03:48] <alex-weej> Erb_: how good is your Python?
[03:48] <lamebmx> did you add it to startup progs and log out and back in?
[03:49] <lamebmx> SubMOA,
[03:49] <Erb_> I use PHP
[03:49] <SubMOA> i had switched it to "metacity", then used the kill command using top and it shutdown, then i just switched back to Beryl
[03:49] <lamebmx> SubMOA,  cuz the rereads the xorg conf
[03:49] <alex-weej> Erb_: PHP has less than stellar support for desktop programming
[03:49] <SubMOA> lamebmx, sorry, the what rereads the xorg conf?
[03:49] <lamebmx> SubMOA, i would suggest enabling things one at a time ... and the logging out and logging in ... well actually a reboot is better
[03:50] <crimsun> Wavesonics: amixer set 'Wave Center' 80%,on && amixer set 'Wave LFE' 80%,on && amixer set 'Wave Surround' 80%,80%,on
[03:50] <chrissturm> how does evms compare to lvm?
[03:50] <TraceGreen> How can ubuntu livecd mount harddisk through loop device directly? that's say, mount -t vfat -o offset=*** /dev/hda /mnt/C?
[03:50] <SubMOA> lamebmx, ok, I will do that
[03:50] <crimsun> lamebmx: /etc/asound.conf or ~/.asoundrc*
[03:50] <Erb_> alex-weej: I am trying to open a video file in mplayer from a php script in a browser
[03:50] <alex-weej> Erb_: do you REALLY want to run totem as user www-data?
[03:50] <lamebmx> .asound is my user config right crimsun
[03:50] <lamebmx> ?
[03:50] <Erb_> alex-weej: Yes!
[03:50] <SubMOA> lamebmx, (or anyone), I thought the great thing about beryl, etc. is that it didn't load your CPU and instead utilized your GPU for this stuff
[03:50] <alex-weej> Erb_: in an x11 session that's owned by YOU?
[03:51] <lamebmx> since sound dont work for me in user
[03:51] <Erb_> alex-weej: Yes
[03:51] <vulcanius> hey all, i'm trying to fix the problem of having no S/PDIF sound output from the built-in motherboard audio on a Gigabyte nforce4 mobo. I noticed that alsa 1.0.11 is the latest version available for ubuntu while alsa 1.0.13 has been released. can 1.0.13 be retrieved using apt-get or synaptic or will it have to be manually installed?
[03:51] <lamebmx> SubMOA, yea it barely touches my cpu
[03:51] <SubMOA> but my GPU looks steady, and my CPU is all jumpy, depending what I do (I think I've seen a correlation to, say rotating cube to CPU spike)
[03:51] <Kiottuze> im sorry does anybody know if ubuntu supports a mobo intel DQ965GF ???
[03:51] <lamebmx> SubMOA, add beryl-manager to ur sessions ... pastebin ur xorg.conf
[03:51] <lamebmx> SubMOA, i still havent seen ur xorg.conf file
[03:52] <SubMOA> lamebmx, what is pastebin?
[03:52] <borg> how do you force change the password of a user without knowing the password of the user?
[03:52] <lamebmx> SubMOA, read the topic
[03:52] <vulcanius> SubMOA: are you using the Tripple Buffer?
[03:52] <lamebmx> where you send the pastes too lol
[03:52] <SubMOA> lamebmx, ohh, sorry, I didn't kow you wanted me to send it...  where can i put it so it won't clutter the chat room?  and I will look up the topic... wiki, i suppose will do that ok... I'm not surer what I tripple buffer is, sorry vulcanius
[03:53] <SubMOA> lamebmx, I think it is in my sessions
[03:53] <Kiottuze> im sorry does anybody know if ubuntu supports a mobo intel DQ965GF ???
[03:53] <alex-weej> Erb_: it's much MUCH cleaner to do this via IPC...
[03:53] <SubMOA> that's Systems > Preferences > Session... etc. etc. correct?
[03:54] <lamebmx> crimsun .. i dont have either of those files
[03:54] <SubMOA> I had to do reconfigure the permissions... I remember having some trouble with the syntax, lamebmx
[03:54] <lamebmx> SubMOA, yes
[03:54] <MenZa> Can someone help me with my OpenPGP key? I've created the key, but I can't find my key-id, which is needed to send it to the key-server.
[03:54] <crimsun> lamebmx: which audio sink is gnome configured to use?
[03:54] <alex-weej> Erb_: if you have a program running on your desktop session that listens for commands and controls your multimedia software, and a program that is run via apache that sends the first program commands
[03:54] <lamebmx> SubMOA, im lazy ... i open a term and sudi -i
[03:54] <lamebmx> crimsun, how do i find that
[03:54] <lamebmx> crimsun, sorry for pesterin ya
[03:54] <crimsun> lamebmx: System> Preferences> Sound
[03:54] <SubMOA> lamebmx, not sure what that means, but I guess it's easier :O)   I'll wiki sudi
[03:55] <lamebmx> SubMOA, did you pastbin your xorg.conf
[03:55] <SubMOA> lamebmx, no, still tryin' to figure out what that is
[03:55] <Erb_> alex-weej: Can you please send me a link with further information?
[03:55] <lamebmx> SubMOA, then that is why beryl is taxin ur cpu man
[03:55] <amicrawle> can any body help me please?
[03:55] <Kiottuze> im sorry does anybody know if ubuntu supports a mobo intel DQ965GF ???
[03:56] <lamebmx> SubMOA,  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BerylOnEdgy
[03:56] <SubMOA> lamebmx...ooook, one sec, almost ( I think, got it)
[03:56] <arrenlex> !hardware | Kiottuze
[03:56] <ubotu> Kiottuze: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[03:56] <Kiottuze> thanks a lot
[03:56] <lamebmx> SubMOA, /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:56] <SubMOA> lamebmx, that's the tutorial i used to get beryl running
[03:56] <SubMOA> followed it to a T
[03:56] <SubMOA> lamebmx, btw, my CPU has seemed to stabilize
[03:57] <lamebmx> okay ..well pastebin http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org your xorg.conf
[03:57] <alex-weej> Erb_: one minute
[03:57] <SubMOA> lamebox, is there a pastebin thing on XChat (built in) or is it soething I have to download
[03:57] <lamebmx> no just goto the website in the topic
[03:57] <lamebmx> that i just pasted up there for ya
[03:58] <lamebmx> crimsun, ive tried them all
[03:59] <lamebmx> crimsun, all of them (except the esd daemon) have the same error: audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open resource for writing.
[04:00] <Riyonuk> Anyone care to recomend some low end pc games native to ubuntu?
[04:00] <crimsun> lamebmx: are they all set to alsa?
[04:00] <lamebmx> nope
[04:00] <Riyonuk> Maybe multiplayer ones, Id love to whoop up on someone tonight :p
[04:00] <SubMOA> ooooook lamebmx, my synaptic packet manager isn't showing up.... it is in the task bar, but it is invisible
[04:00] <crimsun> lamebmx: then set them to alsa
[04:01] <lamebmx> crimsun, done already .. still no sound .. neither test button nor vlc
[04:01] <lamebmx> crimsun, both asound.conf and .asoundrc are blank files
[04:02] <lamebmx> crimsun, any automagic config proggies for them?
[04:02] <arrenlex> lamebmx: Sound problems? What are your symptoms?
[04:02] <arrenlex> lamebmx: You shouldn't need to edit those for alsa to work under normal circumstances.
[04:02] <crimsun> lamebmx: you don't need one unless you have multiple cards or routing issues for surround sound.
[04:02] <lamebmx> ahhh k
[04:02] <lamebmx> i get sound at login portion .. but not at desktop
[04:03] <crimsun> lamebmx: does that aplay command still work in a Terminal now?
[04:03] <SubMOA> !! any recommendations on the best pastebin?
[04:03] <nix_ferret> Anyone know if I can use automatix if I've already installed some codecs/packages?
[04:03] <arrenlex> !pastebin | SubMOA
[04:03] <ubotu> SubMOA: 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 (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[04:03] <seamus7> ANYone know how to fix errors while booting into recovery mode: unable to execute "/bin/sh" for rcS and rc-default
[04:03] <nix_ferret> For instance: easyubuntu won't update certain things b/c it doesn't know what I have installed.
[04:03] <SubMOA> hot damn, that was easy arrenlex
[04:04] <SubMOA> pardon the language
[04:04] <lamebmx> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39100/ .. is my amixer
[04:04] <arrenlex> SubMOA: You expected pastebin to be difficult?
[04:04] <lamebmx> roflmao
[04:04] <arrenlex> lamebmx: You could try this: http://arrenlex.diff.be/alsaconf
[04:05] <arrenlex> lamebmx: Run that script as root.
[04:05] <arrenlex> lamebmx: It's the alsa configurator script from the debian version of the alsa-utils package.
[04:05] <SubMOA> lamebmx, ok, pasted
[04:05] <lamebmx> crimsun, that aplay still works
[04:05] <SubMOA> arrenlex, yes, lol
[04:05] <seamus7> I wonder if I can just replace the /bin/sh file?
[04:05] <SubMOA> arrenlex, i thought it was something I had to set up, like my own mini server thingy
[04:05] <arrenlex> seamus7: Please don't. Can you boot at all?
[04:05] <crimsun> arrenlex: he doesn't have an alsa issue but a gnome issue, probably gconfsink.
[04:05] <arrenlex> SubMOA: xD
[04:06] <seamus7> arrenlex: no .. recovery mode freezes at the /bin/sh errors.
[04:06] <arrenlex> crimsun: Ah. You know what you doing (move zig). Excuse my meddling.
[04:06] <arrenlex> seamus7: Boot from a liveCD.
[04:06] <crimsun> arrenlex: feel free; I have to leave the coffee shop anyhow.
[04:06] <arrenlex> crimsun: I don't run gnome.
[04:07] <seamus7> arrenlex: then what would you suggest after booting from the LiveCD?
[04:07] <compu73rg33k> is it possible to install ubuntu onto a USB drive?
[04:07] <arrenlex> seamus7: I would suggest mounting your target filesystem and making sure /bin/sh is a valid link to a shell.
[04:08] <lamebmx> its running peoples
[04:08] <seamus7> arrenlex: I also have a Linux Rescue CD ... I booted with that and mounted my file system .... I found /bin/sh but wasn't sure what to do then
[04:08] <compu73rg33k> and make changes to the environment that save to the usb drive as well?
[04:08] <arrenlex> seamus7: What kind of file was it? If it was a symlink, what was it a symlink to?
[04:09] <seamus7> I believe I created the error after doing this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#head-d01742cec183112be090e459b74129606e258f79
[04:09] <arrenlex> seamus7: That would definitely do it.
[04:09] <seamus7> arrenlex: I may have made a mistake or typo
[04:09] <lamebmx> arrenlex, no change
[04:10] <arrenlex> seamus7: We can walk you through fixing it, though, if you could boot from a liveCD and still be here.
[04:10] <jessid> hello friends.....
[04:10] <SubMOA> lamebmx, did you get my pastebin?
[04:10] <arrenlex> lamebmx: Yeah, your problem is apparently gnome-related, not alsa. My apologies.
[04:10] <seamus7> arrenlex: yeah i'm on my old desktop ... one moment ... thanks
[04:10] <lamebmx> SubMOA, you need to copy the link for it in here
[04:11] <lamebmx> arrenlex, its cool man ... i just went through heck with a fakeraid install .. any help is much appreciated
[04:11] <jessid> I have a very little question: using a console, it is possible to give a task a priority....how can i do that? thanks
[04:11] <SubMOA> lamebmx, yea that just occured to me a second ago
[04:11] <lamebmx> arrenlex, my brain is fried .. i just wanna chill back and enjoy a movie
[04:11] <lamebmx> lol
[04:11] <SubMOA> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39106/
[04:11] <SubMOA> lamebmx, sorry then!
[04:12] <lamebmx> SubMOA, no sweat man ... might as well make myself useful while these people are helpin with my issue
[04:13] <flyinghippo> Does anyone knof of a way to create a different available resolutions than the three offered?  I am looking towards making 1280x800 possible on my laptop's screen.
[04:13] <lamebmx> SubMOA, goto the wiki and search for beryl edgy
[04:13] <SubMOA> lamebmx, lamebmx, thanks!
[04:13] <SubMOA> lamebmx, rgr enroute
[04:13] <arrenlex> !fixres | flyinghippo
[04:13] <ubotu> flyinghippo: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type "sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart" in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[04:13] <lamebmx> SubMOA, you need additions to your xorg.conf file .. maybe you didnt save it properly
[04:13] <flyinghippo> Thanks.
[04:13] <SubMOA> lamebmx, and the wiki as it all there?
[04:13] <rcbaxter> flyinghippo: You can add resolutions to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:14] <lamebmx> SubMOA, at the end you should have Section "Extensions"
[04:14] <lamebmx>     Option "Composite" "true"
[04:14] <lamebmx> EndSection
[04:14] <Genius314> what are the downsides to having an ATI card?
[04:14] <signal> the drivers blow
[04:14] <lamebmx> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BerylOnEdgy
[04:14] <SubMOA> rcbaxter, like "I will quit drinking so much, I will quit being late for everything" those type of resolutions :O)
[04:14] <flyinghippo> rcbaxter: I tried that, it won't do anything.  :\
[04:14] <[FOE] zyndikate> im total new, just want to ask some questions.. first: is there anyone who like to play alot on ubuntu? how is the compatibilty and how hard is it to run?
[04:14] <signal> and the updates are more often broken than Nvidia's
[04:14] <lamebmx> yes .. you need the Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true" under device ..
[04:15] <rcbaxter> SubMOA:  It is almost New Years. :)
[04:15] <lamebmx> at the end you need the extensions thing ...
[04:15] <arrenlex> Genius314: The downside is that you will have either no 3D, or else very buggy drivers that freeze your machine.
[04:15] <MarcN> [FOE] zyndikate: specifically what are the questions?
[04:15] <wastrel> is it possible to point evolution at a remote evolution-data-server instead of at the one running on localhost?
[04:15] <arrenlex> Genius314: The upside is that your card's manufacturer name will be three letters shorter so it doesn't take you so long to type it out when you're here asking for help on it.
[04:15] <[FOE] zyndikate> the first one was that question :>
[04:16] <superkirbyartist> How can I get 911 service for Gizmo/Ekiga?
[04:16] <[FOE] zyndikate> gaming possibilities
[04:16] <lamebmx> SubMOA,  make the changes . close the editor and reopen it in the editor(to make sure nuthin got messed on that part) and pastebin ur xorg.conf again
[04:16] <SubMOA> lamebmx, yes, I saw on that tutorial i followed about that, but since I couldn't fine "extensions" i just left it... ignorance is bliss, except now I wish I had just come here and asked before hand
[04:16] <SubMOA> lamebmx, rgr
[04:16] <lamebmx> you have to write it out yourself
[04:16] <Genius314> Ok well is it possible to get dual monitors with 1280x1024 resolution on an ATI card?
[04:16] <lamebmx> Genius314, depends on the card
[04:17] <Genius314> I got the resolution and dual monitors to work in Windows, so I know it's able to work.
[04:17] <lamebmx> radeon 7200se .. no
[04:17] <superkirbyartist> !ekiga
[04:17] <ubotu> ekiga: H.323 and SIP compatible VOIP client. In component main, is optional. Version 2.0.3-0ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 3582 kB, installed size 12568 kB
[04:17] <superkirbyartist> !gizmo
[04:17] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gizmo - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:17] <Genius314> But I'm having trouble getting it to work in Ubuntu.
[04:17] <lamebmx> if they worked in windows they will work in nix .. just harder to figure out ...
[04:17] <Genius314> Yeah
[04:17] <superkirbyartist> Do they even have 911?
[04:17] <alex-weej> superkirbyartist: not many VOIP providers provide emergency services
[04:17] <lamebmx> SubMOA, yea its all a learning process
[04:18] <Genius314> I edited xorg.conf to have a 1280x1024 resolution, but I still can't change it
[04:18] <superkirbyartist> alex-weej:  I get mine from SIPphone/Gizmo, do they have 911?
[04:18] <lamebmx> SubMOA, now in a couple days when you got it workin all pretty idle in here and help a couple people though it
[04:18] <alex-weej> superkirbyartist: no idea. wrong place to ask. :P
[04:18] <superkirbyartist> alex-weej what channel to ask then?
[04:18] <SubMOA> lamebmx, that sounds like a fantastic idea.  I love helping!  I'm just usually the example of what NOT to do, hehe
[04:18] <gaten> SubMOA:  yeah like me. i cant get the darn things to work either
[04:18] <alex-weej> superkirbyartist: i don't know! use their website!
[04:19] <alex-weej> loon 8)
[04:19] <SubMOA> lamebmx, btw, there are several wiki's on beryl and edgy... any specific one recommended?
[04:19] <lamebmx> SubMOA, doing something once .. you kinda remember .. but each person you help is like doing it again all over and its practice .. just like riding a bike
[04:19] <lamebmx> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BerylOnEdgy
[04:20] <lamebmx> now for my fakeraid i had to piece together a couple wiki's for that too work
[04:20] <SubMOA> lamebmx, thank you for the words of wisdom, I will keep that in mind
[04:20] <rcbaxter> http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Main_Page worked for me.
[04:21] <Genius314> If I don't have my HorizSync and VertRefresh values right for my monitor, will my resolution not work?
[04:21] <ubuntuuser> i have some files in my recycle bin that i can't delete, i have tried sudo rmdir, but it says that the dir has stuff in it, and i can't remember the command to delete dir's with stuff in them
[04:21] <gaten> does nvidia-glx come in a package other than i386? such as k7?
[04:21] <arrenlex> Genius314: Then your monitor will not work.
[04:21] <arrenlex> Genius314: If it's a modern monitor, it will say "signal out of range".
[04:22] <lamebmx> and SubMOA ... a word of advice .. jot down the location of xorg.conf .. and play with it in nano to edit .. cuz if you do a line wrong you wont have a nice gui to fix it in .....
[04:22] <arrenlex> Genius314: If it's not, it will explode.
[04:22] <rcbaxter> sudo rm -rf directory
[04:22] <bulmer> ubuntuuser: you can delete with  rm -rf
[04:22] <gaten> ubuntuuser:  rm -rf <dir> will work.
[04:22] <arrenlex> xD
[04:22] <lamebmx> SubMOA, my card dont like fastwrites on ... found that out the hardway
[04:22] <Genius314> arrenlex: Ok, well the monitor still runs, but I can't get my resolution to work
[04:22] <lamebmx> Genius314, pastebin your xorg.conf
[04:22] <lamebmx> puhleeze
[04:23] <arrenlex> Genius314: a) Have you restarted X? b) Do you get any error messages? c) what does your xorg.conf look like?
[04:23] <SubMOA> lamebmx, rgr, I've had that happen yesterday... tried Gedit from the command line but didn't work (because I know what I typed in and figured if I deleted it it would work again) so i busted out the ole' backup computer and found nano
[04:23] <Music_Shuffle> gaten, what? It works for all.
[04:23] <lamebmx> arrenlex, any more idea on my sound issue .. or its just gnome
[04:23] <gaten> SubMOA:  if you have a working xorg.conf, make an obvious backup. mine is xorg.conf.working ;)
[04:23] <lamebmx> lol
[04:23] <JBLoudG20> does anyone know if the lenovo fingerprint reader an be supported... I have visited the pages for it, and they always mention the tinkpad: im getting a 3000 N100
[04:23] <arrenlex> lamebmx: I don't run gnome, sorry.
[04:23] <SubMOA> gaten, ok, thanks
[04:23] <lamebmx> arrenlex, cool cool
[04:23] <gaten> Music_Shuffle:  what?
[04:23] <lamebmx> :/
[04:23] <SubMOA> lamebmx, where would I put "extensions"
[04:23] <SubMOA> anywhere?
[04:23] <lamebmx> at the very end
[04:23] <Genius314> arrenlex: My monitor works (I'm using it right now), but I can't make my resolution as high as it was on windows
[04:23] <Music_Shuffle> nvidia-glx runs on any.
[04:24] <gaten> Music_Shuffle:  oh ok. i can't get the darn thing working on mine
[04:24] <arrenlex> Genius314: None of which answers any of the three questions I asked you.
[04:24] <lamebmx> Genius314, pastebin ur xorg.conf
[04:24] <cafuego_> Music_Shuffle: No, it doesn't.
[04:24] <Music_Shuffle> Which doesn't it run on? >.>
[04:24] <SubMOA> past the very last line that says "endsection"  (the one flush with the left side... not tabbed over)
[04:24] <cafuego_> Music_Shuffle: Completely doesn't work under Xen.
[04:24] <Genius314> What does pastebin mean?
[04:24] <rcbaxter> lamebmx: is everything unmuted in Volume Control?  Just a thought.
[04:24] <lamebmx> rc yea .. in alsa conf .. i cant get to volume control ... it errors
[04:25] <arrenlex> Genius314: Pastebin is a site where you upload text, and then give us the link to the uploaded text so we can read it.
[04:25] <SubMOA> Genius314, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[04:25] <lamebmx> !pastebin | Genius314
[04:25] <ubotu> Genius314: 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 (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[04:25] <arrenlex> Genius314: It's a way to "paste" stuff to us without flooding the channel.
[04:25] <jessid> hello. I have a little question: how can I run an app from command line assigning it priority over other tasks? thanks
[04:25] <cafuego_> Music_Shuffle: which admittedly wouldn't be any of gaten's concern
[04:25] <SubMOA> genius314, then, when you're done, copy the URL in your browser and past it in the chatroom
[04:25] <arrenlex> jessid: nice --help
[04:25] <Genius314> arrenlex: Ok.
[04:25] <cafuego_> gaten: It's userspace, not kernel space, so there is only one package.
[04:25] <arrenlex> jessid: (that's a command.)
[04:26] <jessid> arrenlex eso! eso es lo que buscaba...thanks!!!
[04:26] <gaten> cafuego:  ok
[04:26] <arrenlex> jessid: Uh... you'reo el welcomeo?
[04:26] <gaten> Music_Shuffle:  no, im saying in my case it isnt working.
[04:26] <Genius314> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39107/
[04:26] <Music_Shuffle> gaten, what's the goal here, to install Beryl?
[04:26] <jessid> arrenlex jajajaja....
[04:26] <Music_Shuffle> Or just have them working?
[04:27] <gaten> Music_Shuffle:  both, actually. beryl is end-game (on drapper), but i'd like SOME nvidia binary driver to be working at the end of the day
[04:27] <cafuego_> gaten: AN actual error message rather than "isn't working" would be a bit more helpful.
[04:27] <SubMOA> lamebmx, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39109/
[04:27] <Music_Shuffle> Oh Dapper. Hah. Can't help then, never got them working under Dapper, just Edgy.
[04:28] <rcbaxter> Has anyone here had luck automounting a 2nd gen Nano?
[04:29] <Genius314> arrenlex: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39107/
[04:29] <gaten> cafuego:  fair enough. ive pasted it 3 times, but no one seemed to know the answer so i stopped. but ill get it again
[04:30] <arrenlex> Genius314: a) Have you restarted X since changing this? b) How are you trying to change it?
[04:30] <rohan> hi all
[04:30] <puddpunk> Hi guys - I was just wondering if anybody had a compiled version of Banshee 0.11.3 for edgy - or perhaps a repository for bleeding edge banshee? Is there a better place to ask?
[04:31] <gaten> cafuego:  depmod gives me this: WARNING: Module /lib/modules/2.6.15-27-k7/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko is not an elf object
[04:31] <kitche> puddpunk: check feisty repo but thent hat might break your system
[04:31] <puddpunk> yeah :)
[04:31] <arrenlex> gaten: ....where did you get that kernel?
[04:31] <Genius314> arrenlex: I haven't changed it since I last restarted my computer. I followed a tutorial to add "Modeline", but that was all I edited.
[04:31] <puddpunk> was looking for more of a backport :)
[04:31] <rohan> listen up.  I have a question. Why does kde desktops accommodate different wallpapers per desktop but Gnome doesn't?
[04:32] <arrenlex> rohan: Because KDE owns all.
[04:32] <gaten> arrenlex:  its from repos. linux-k7
[04:32] <SubMOA> puddpunk, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-86668.html maybe helpful?
[04:32] <lamebmx> Genius314, i could be mistaken but you should have to edit your xorg.conf for dual monitor .. it dont know what the second screen can do
[04:32] <rohan> ok
[04:32] <arrenlex> gaten: k7 is a subarchitecture that has been obsoleted by -generic.
[04:32] <arrenlex> gaten: A while ago.
[04:32] <arrenlex> gaten: Are you on dapper?
[04:32] <harrisony1> does anyone know how to get synaptic to show packages in each repository (so that each repository is a catogery and you can see each package in it)

[04:40] <kitche> Genius314: it's possible but the fuse usually has to burn out first
[04:40] <saxofoner> SubMOA: what are your symptoms?
[04:40] <SubMOA> saxofoner
[04:40] <arrenlex> Genius314: I'm serious. Look, about the sync values: This is one of the more important parts. If you choose incorrectly you could damage your monitor.
[04:40] <SubMOA> no symptoms, per sai
[04:40] <harrisony1> orangefly, in terminal sudo apt-get install gproftpd
[04:40] <orangefly> ty....
[04:40] <arrenlex> seamus7: Yessir. Have I missed something?
[04:41] <saxofoner> What'd you need it checked for? Sub
[04:41] <saxofoner> SubMOA*
[04:41] <xiyang> who can tell me how to join the #ubuntu-cn
[04:41] <arrenlex> Genius314: From another site:   Be careful not to exceed the specifications of your monitor.  Doing so could damage your hardware.
[04:41] <kitche> varsendaggr: you have one of the brand new nanos?
[04:41] <harrisony1> xiyang, /j #ubuntu-ch
[04:41] <saxofoner> ...(/join #ubuntu-cn)
[04:41] <seamus7> arrenlex: i've got my / mounted
[04:41] <harrisony1> xiyang, wait... /j #ubuntu-cn
[04:41] <saxofoner> Exactly
[04:41] <arrenlex> seamus7: brb
[04:41] <harrisony1> sorry had a typo
[04:41] <saxofoner> SubMOA: What's wrong w/ your file, I see nothing wrong.
[04:42] <SubMOA> saxofoner, I had beryl, and it was running hot (around 100% cpu), so i came here and got it resolved for the most part, with the help of lamebmx, and he (or she, I guess) said my .conf file wasn't right, so i changed it, but he seems ot be preoccupied now, so if I could just see if it looks ok, that's be great
[04:42] <orangefly> i supose gproftpd doesn't work with webmin....
[04:42] <Genius314> arrenlex: ok, well I haven't edited those values - But is it possible that they're wrong?
[04:42] <SubMOA> i added the " sections "extensions""
[04:42] <saxofoner> okay, sure holdon....
[04:42] <SubMOA> on down
[04:42] <harrisony1> errrr its a gui for proftpd
[04:42] <varsendaggr> no i have a buddy that wants to move his laptop hard drive from a 40 to a 60   and he has a ipod to use that has a 30 gig so i was going to disk image it and transfer it over
[04:42] <kitche> orangefly: no clue since webmin is junk
[04:42] <rcbaxter> kitche: I have one of the 2nd. gen Nanos... Any tips?
[04:43] <SubMOA> saxofoner, not much there to mess up, but i wouldn't put it past me :O)
[04:43] <kitche> rcbaxter: not really the nanos are hard I only know of the first gens working in gtkpod for right now
[04:43] <saxofoner> SubMOA:  what is that "extensions" section for?
[04:43] <kitche> varsendaggr: what type of ipod?
[04:43] <SubMOA> saxofoner, not sure
[04:43] <rcbaxter> I got it working but had to hack up fstab to do it.
[04:43] <SubMOA> saxofoner, got the info here:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BerylOnEdgy
[04:43] <arrenlex> Genius314: Where did you get them?
[04:44] <arrenlex> seamus7: Where did you mount it?
[04:44] <SubMOA> about 1/3 of the way down
[04:44] <SubMOA> or 33.333333 %
[04:44] <seamus7> in /mp
[04:44] <saxofoner> did you do the :Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"  part?
[04:44] <orangefly> ok...i have installed gproftpd....now how do i limit users....???....
[04:44] <saxofoner> SubMOA:
[04:44] <Genius314> arrelex: The values were already there when I first opened the file.
[04:44] <SubMOA> ummm
[04:44] <saxofoner> *
[04:44] <SubMOA> saxofoner, let me check, i think so
[04:44] <saxofoner> It says 2 steps, I don't see that
[04:45] <Genius314> arrenlex: The values were already there when I first opened the file.
[04:45] <kitche> orangefly: there should be an option in gproftpd
[04:45] <saxofoner> SubMOA: You skipped a step.If you are on intel?
[04:45] <SubMOA> saxofoner, yes, right above the "extensions" thing
[04:45] <flyinghippo> May I have a quick review of how to install from source?
[04:45] <SubMOA> I am on nvidia
[04:45] <kitche> orangefly: I haven't used that myself sicne I tend to just use proftpd configure files instead of a gui
[04:45] <rohan> want some cool kubuntu wallpapers?
[04:46] <harrisony1> orangefly try..
[04:46] <saxofoner> You need to do::::::Add this to Section "Screen" Option"AddARGBGLXVisuals""true"""
[04:46] <kitche> flyinghippo: usually(./configure --prefix=/usr/local && make && make install
[04:46] <saxofoner> You didn't do that SubMOA
[04:46] <harrisony1> orangefly, the users tab
[04:46] <seamus7> arrenlex: in a directory I created /mp
[04:46] <flyinghippo> Thanks, kitche/
[04:46] <SubMOA> saxofoner
[04:46] <saxofoner> SubMOA:  You need to do that first step
[04:46] <SubMOA> really?
[04:46] <saxofoner> yes
[04:46] <saxofoner> REad it
[04:46] <arrenlex> seamus7: Okay. sudo chroot /mp
[04:47] <SubMOA> fifth worded line up
[04:47] <rcbaxter> flyinghippo: Might want to check out checkinstall too... It'll add entries in Synaptic.
[04:47] <kitche> flyinghippo: the --prefix=/usr/local just amkes it easier to uninstall the program without the sources if you delete them you can just go into /usr/local and find the program libs and such and delete it by hand
[04:47] <saxofoner> Hahaha: so sorry SubMOA, ctrl F didn't find that...
[04:47] <saxofoner> God
[04:47] <saxofoner> Sorry
[04:47] <SubMOA> saxophoner, line 150
[04:47] <arrenlex> kitche: IIANM the default prefix is already /usr/local
[04:47] <SubMOA> saxofoner, hehe, no prob
[04:48] <kitche> arrenlex: umm not on a lot of programs most are just set to /usr
[04:48] <saxofoner> SubMOA:  It's easier to type names like this:   S-a-x-TAB KEY
[04:48] <SubMOA> saxofoner, so in any event, it looks ok now? no syntax errors or anything
[04:48] <saxofoner> Yep
[04:48] <saxofoner> looks fine
[04:48] <SubMOA> saxofoner, holy moley, you're right... it's like you were reading my mind, hehe, thanks for the tip
[04:49] <SubMOA> saxofoner, thanks!
[04:49] <arrenlex> kitche: When you run ./configure, it sets up the default prefix for /usr/local, I'm quite sure. The debian packages are made for /usr, yes.
[04:49] <saxofoner> haahaa, I didn't think you could spell my name wrong with the TAB key....
[04:49] <genius314> test
[04:49] <genius314> ok
[04:49] <seamus7> arrenlex: I'm getting an error ... I'm using the LinuxRescueCd so I'm not sure if the same commands apply ... the error is something like chroot: cannot run command '/bin/zsh': no such file or directory
[04:49] <saxofoner> SubMOA:  hope it works out. Good luck
[04:50] <arrenlex> seamus7: ... o__O ...
[04:50] <seamus7> arrenlex: sudo seems to be different ... I'm in root already.. at least on the Linux Rescue CD
[04:50] <arrenlex> seamus7: okay, then try just "chroot /mp"
[04:50] <seamus7> arrenlex: in the / directory or /mp
[04:50] <SubMOA> saxofoner, me too! and thanks
[04:51] <seamus7> arrenlex: which directory should I be in or does it matter?
[04:51] <saxofoner> sure thing
[04:51] <arrenlex> seamus7: Doesn't matter what directory you're in.
[04:51] <saxofoner> Now if only someone would help me...
[04:51] <saxofoner> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39111/  ANY comments?
[04:51] <saxofoner> this happens when I run games
[04:52] <seamus7> arrenlex: I did chroot /mp and got the same error: chroot: cannot run command '/bin/zsh': No such file or directory
[04:52] <arrenlex> seamus7: I don't know, man. I'm only familiar with the ubuntu liveCD. Sorry.
[04:52] <SubMOA> what is everybody's opinion on the best shortcut to the terminal
[04:52] <arrenlex> seamus7: How about the command "file /mp/bin/sh"?
[04:52] <kitche> seamus7: do this chroot /mp /bin/bash
[04:52] <seamus7> arrenlex: I can get to the file and even open it with nano
[04:53] <SubMOA> i changed mine all up to try and be efficient and it ruined everything, so i need to find a nice, good combo
[04:53] <saxofoner> SubMOA: I have the terminal on my panel      ^_^
[04:53] <kitche> or /bin/sh or /bin/dash :P
[04:53] <rcbaxter> Alt-F2?
[04:53] <SubMOA> saxofoner, lol, I thik I do to, but I don't like switching form the mouse to the keyboard all the time
[04:53] <saxofoner> Oh.... hm...
[04:53] <rcbaxter> If you're in Gnome. :)
[04:53] <saxofoner> Let's see.
[04:53] <arrenlex> seamus7: It's a command. Please run it.
[04:53] <seamus7> arrenlex: I get a 'bad interpreter' error
[04:53] <genius314> How do I know the BudID of my video cards?
[04:54] <arrenlex> seamus7: ...your liveCD is messed up. I can't help you. o_o
[04:54] <arrenlex> genius314: Using the "lspci" command.
[04:54] <seamus7> arrenlex: let me try booting into the alternate Edgy Live CD
[04:54] <arrenlex> seamus7: It won't help.
[04:55] <arrenlex> seamus7: ...actually, we can make it work. Proceed. Be sure to choose recovery mode from the menus.
[04:55] <gansinho> hello, please, anyone uses gnome-launch-box?
[04:55] <genius314> arrenlex: The value is in hexadecimals, right? So 0d is 13, and 0f is 15?
[04:55] <seamus7> arrenlex: ok thanks
[04:56] <arrenlex> genius314: ...what?
[04:56] <saxofoner> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39111/ geeee whiz.  no comments?  please help!
[04:56] <genius314> arrenlex: the values it gives me are 00:0d.0 and 00:0f.0
[04:57] <SubMOA> speaking of hating to switch from mouse to keyboard, has anybody seen this, and if so, does anybody know anything about it in regards to Linux, or, more specifically, Ubuntu http://www.slashgear.com/page/2/
[04:57] <SubMOA> about 2/3 of the way down the page
[04:57] <SubMOA> Titled "Set your mouse free"
[04:58] <seamus7> arrenlex: i'm at the Alternate Edgy LiveCD menu .... should I choose Install in text mode OR Install in OEM mode OR install a command-line system
[04:58] <arrenlex> genius314: I have no idea; never messed around with those values.
[04:58] <arrenlex> seamus7: ...? The screen doesn't change if you press F1-F8?
[04:58] <genius314> arrenlex: Ok. Well, I think I can figure it out from here.
[04:59] <seamus7> arrenlex:yes there are function options
[05:00] <arrenlex> seamus7: Is one of them recovery?
[05:00] <alienseer23> can someone please help me, I cannot get alsa to work properly with media , I only get one channel ... and the sound is weak, but the test was fine, both chanells, loud loud loudhelp
[05:01] <seamus7> arrenlex: there is a boot into rescue mode option
[05:01] <hagabaka> what's the advantage of not having a root user but allowing the main user to use sudo to do everything?
[05:01] <lamebmx> easier on the end user
[05:01] <arrenlex> seamus7: Make use of it then.
[05:02] <factotum> maybe check your irq numbers
[05:02] <genius314> Ok now what happens if I don't have HorizSync or VertRefresh in my xorg.conf?
[05:02] <kitche> genius314: nothing if it's not in there don't worry about it
[05:02] <arrenlex> genius314: I don't, and I'm fine.
[05:03] <kitche> genius314: my resolution is never in xorg.conf
[05:03] <tomp> hello, i have a plain flat brown screen after the ubuntu login :(  any suggestions?
[05:04] <genius314> kitche, arrenlex: Ok. There's a help page telling me not to have them. Just making sure its right (well, it's on the Ubuntu website, so I'd assume it was).
[05:04] <tale_> tomp, I'd suggest creating a new account to test with.  create and try logging in
[05:04] <tale_> if that works, then you know it is something in your initialization for your current user account
[05:04] <flyinghippo> So... I just installed 855resolution, but it turns out I need 915resolution.  Is there a way to uninstall an installed package?
[05:05] <tomp> tale: ok, where do i read about creatingthis account?
[05:05] <Ashton_Ke> sudo apt-get remove 815resolution
[05:05] <tale_> flyinghippo, sudo apt-get uninstall --purge 855resolution
[05:05] <tale_> doh
[05:05] <Ashton_Ke> Or that.
[05:05] <flyinghippo> Thanks.
[05:05] <tale_> Ashton_Ke, is right
[05:05] <Ashton_Ke> Two ways to skin a cat.
[05:05] <tale_> replace uninstall with remove
[05:05] <Ashton_Ke> Yeah, that bit would be a wee bit important.
[05:05] <Ashton_Ke> :P
[05:06] <tale_> yeah
[05:06] <Ashton_Ke> If you want to be tricky, you can string the two commands in a line.
[05:06] <Ashton_Ke> sudo apt-get remove 815resolution; sudo apt-get install 915resolution.
[05:06] <Ashton_Ke> I think.
[05:06] <idawood> HI Need help
[05:06] <Ashton_Ke> In what way?
[05:06] <arrenlex> !ask | idea
[05:06] <ubotu> idea: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:06] <arrenlex> !ask | idawood
[05:06] <ubotu> idawood: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:07] <seamus7> arrenlex: okay I used the rescue a broken system option and i'm at the Rescue Operations menu: there are 5 options such as _Execute a shell in /dev/sda2 (my root file system)  or _ reinstall GRUB   or _choose a different root files system
[05:07] <idawood> I'm getting error on one link in source.list
[05:07] <hagabaka> join #themanaworld
[05:07] <arrenlex> seamus7: Execute a shell in the installer environment.
[05:07] <hagabaka> oops
[05:07] <Ashton_Ke> Is racarr actually here, or is he idle?
[05:07] <idawood>  http://pk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy-updates/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz
[05:07] <harrap> In the Live Desktop installer, it says that I can't install without reformatting ... is there any way to override this?
[05:07] <idawood> although I opened it in firefox this link opened successfully
[05:08] <Ashton_Ke> apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop
[05:08] <seamus7> arrenlex: okay I'm at ~ #
[05:08] <goofey> my sound is *much* quieter the last few days - i set kmix and amarok and kaffeine to max volume and still very quiet - any suggestions?
[05:08] <Ashton_Ke> apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[05:08] <Ashton_Ke> :P
[05:08] <arrenlex> seamus7: Type the command "file /target/bin/sh" and tell me what it says
[05:08] <seamus7> arrenlex: /bin/sh: file: not found
[05:09] <Ashton_Ke> Is the file system mounted?
[05:09] <orangefly> how do you run gproftpd....i only run from an ssh terminal....
[05:09] <harrap> Ashton_Ke: I'm not sure if you're answering me... but no, it's not mounted
[05:09] <tomp> tale: i google for how to set up a new user, but the explanations are all gui & i got none, what cmd can i should a man page on?
[05:10] <idawood> tomp: man useradd
[05:10] <arrenlex> seamus7: what's the output of:    ls /target/bin/ | grep ^sh | wc -l
[05:10] <tomp> thanks
[05:10] <arrenlex> seamus7: (note the hat; it's important)
[05:11] <idawood> so no solution to my problem :(
[05:11] <orangefly> is their anyone that knows anything about proftpd....???....
[05:11] <seamus7> arrenlex:   2
[05:11] <goofey> anyone know why amarok would get *much* quieter all of a sudden?  at max it's barely audable (kmix is maxed too)
[05:11] <harrap> Is there any way to install Ubuntu without reformatting the target hard drive?
[05:11] <Ashton_Ke> Well, is the hard drive full?
[05:12] <arrenlex> seamus7: Okay, and what happens if you run:  ls /target/bin/ | grep ^sh
[05:12] <arrenlex> seamus7: Should be two lines.
[05:12] <Ashton_Ke> Or, is it all formatted as NTFS, or whatever, but partially used?
[05:12] <saxofoner> Meh!!! Goodnight!
[05:12] <alienseer23> !alsa
[05:12] <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 that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin
[05:12] <harrap> Ashton_Ke: Nope. It had a broken Ubuntu on it. Someone here suggested wiping everything but /home, which I did, so now I want to reinstall, keeping /home.
[05:12] <seamus7> arrenlex: sh.backup sh.distrib
[05:12] <Ashton_Ke> Uhh, unmount /home
[05:12] <Ashton_Ke> install
[05:12] <Ashton_Ke> remount /home
[05:13] <arrenlex> seamus7: Ah. And what happens if you run:  diff /target/bin/sh*
[05:13] <CientificoLoco> how do I install software for shoutcast? In windows I used to use "WinAmp and its own ShoutCast" ...
[05:13] <arrenlex> seamus7: Note the asterisk; it's important
[05:13] <Ashton_Ke> Wait, home isn't in a different partition isn't it?
[05:13] <harrap> Ashton_Ke: /home is not on its own partition.
[05:13] <seamus7> arrenlex: /bin/sh: diff: not found
[05:13] <Ashton_Ke> I'd suggest resizing, putting home in that new partition
[05:13] <CheyenneD> Whats 6.10's nickname?
[05:13] <Ashton_Ke> Edgy
[05:13] <arrenlex> seamus7: ...
[05:13] <Ashton_Ke> Copy everything from home into this new partition (use cp -a)
[05:14] <Ashton_Ke> Then unmount it.
[05:14] <Ashton_Ke> Install.
[05:14] <Ashton_Ke> Remount it as /home.
[05:14] <arrenlex> seamus7: Okay, fine. Run the command:   mv /target/bin/sh.backup /target/bin/sh
[05:14] <Ashton_Ke> (Or find an external HD to use)
[05:14] <kitche> CientificoLoco: look up StreamTuner
[05:14] <goofey> alienseer23: what app is ubotu referring to?  i"m in kde and kmix doesn't seem to have that (although kmix says "using alsa"
[05:14] <seamus7> arrenlex: okay
[05:15] <Ashton_Ke> Harrap, let's just put that unless if you feel like resizing partitions, I'd find some sort of external storage media.
[05:15] <goofey> alienseer23: and thanks for the links - checking them now
[05:15] <CientificoLoco> kitche, thaks..
[05:15] <harrap> Ashton_Ke, does cp -a keep permissions and all that?
[05:15] <Ashton_Ke> Yes.
[05:15] <arrenlex> seamus7: Now will "file /target/bin/sh" work?
[05:15] <genius314> Ok this is wierd... now my resolution is 1280x800...
[05:15] <Ashton_Ke> That's why using the -a operator is pretty important.
[05:16] <seamus7> arrenlex:    :(      I get....   /bin/sh: file: not found
[05:16] <Ashton_Ke> Unless if you feel like having your home directory unprotected. :P
[05:16] <Ashton_Ke> That means you don't have a shell, not a good sign.
[05:17] <harrap> Ashton_Ke: Do you know of anyway to bundle up all of /home with all the permissions kept, so that i could back it up to another computer on a network instead of to an external HD?
[05:17] <arrenlex> seamus7: type "exit" to go back to the menu and choose "start a shell in the installer environment"
[05:17] <arrenlex> seamus7: Tell me what happens.
[05:17] <Ashton_Ke> Across a network?
[05:17] <Ashton_Ke> Uhh.
[05:17] <Ashton_Ke> Not from the command line.
[05:17] <arrenlex> harrap: How about a tarball?
[05:17] <Ashton_Ke> Yeah, might be a good option.
[05:17] <Ashton_Ke> But then moving said tarball is an issue.
[05:18] <genius314> My resolution can now be 1280x768 and 1280x800, but I want it 1280x1024.
[05:18] <seamus7> arrenlex: it says.... After this message, you will be given a shell with mounted on "/target". ...... blah blah blah   the the option to contineu executing a shell
[05:18] <rendo> !wine
[05:18] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[05:18] <harrap> well, I have struggled with that already, and I can do it using Samba shares. so how do I make a tarball?
[05:18] <arrenlex> seamus7: Yes, yes, proceed, and tell me what it says after.
[05:18] <seamus7> arrenlex: there was a brief error message after I entered exit but I just hit continue
[05:18] <Ashton_Ke> tar --help
[05:18] <seamus7> arrenlex: ok one moment
[05:18] <Ashton_Ke> tar mkvf?
[05:18] <Ashton_Ke> Something like that.
[05:19] <Ashton_Ke> Or, man tar
[05:19] <Ashton_Ke> (I've never used the syntax for making a tarball)
[05:19] <arrenlex> harrap: tar cf file.tar /home
[05:19] <seamus7> arrenlex: I'm at the ~# prompt .... above it says BusyBox v1.1.3 .... blah blah blah ... Built-in shell (ash) ...
[05:19] <genius314> !tar
[05:19] <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
[05:19] <arrenlex> seamus7: ...I am so lost as to where you are right now.
[05:19] <harrap> Thanks arrenlex and Ashton_Ke
[05:20] <harrap> genius314... why not tar?
[05:20] <seamus7> arrenelx: I executed the shell after shoosing "start a shell in the installer environment"
[05:20] <arrenlex> seamus7: What's the output of "ls -d /target | wc -l"
[05:20] <rendo> Why the hell are the wine repositories not listing?
[05:20] <seamus7> arrenlex: and I am now at the ~# prompt
[05:20] <arrenlex> seamus7: Oh. Why?
[05:20] <genius314> harrap: Oh. I was just curious what tar was.
[05:20] <arrenlex> seamus7: Didn't I ask you to run a shell in the partition?
[05:20] <seamus7> arrenlex:   1
[05:20] <arrenlex> seamus7: Yeah, it would be.
[05:21] <arrenlex> seamus7: Didn't I ask you to run a shell in the partition?
[05:21] <seamus7> arrenlex: I thought that's what I did
[05:21] <seamus7> arrenlex: shall I type exit and try again
[05:21] <arrenlex> seamus7: Installer environment != partition
[05:22] <arrenlex> seamus7: I mean, the "start a shell in /dev/sda2" option.
[05:22] <arrenlex> Or whatever it was.
[05:22] <genius314> Why can I only have a widescreen resolution?
[05:22] <seamus7> arrenlex: ok done .... I'm at a # prompt ... it says rescue mode at the top
[05:23] <arrenlex> seamus7: What's the output of "ls -d /target | wc -l" now?
[05:24] <seamus7> arrenlex: ls: /target: No such file or directory      0
[05:24] <CientificoLoco> kitche, I do not wanna listen to radio if not I want to transmit the radio...
[05:25] <arrenlex> seamus7: Okay.
[05:25] <arrenlex> seamus7: What's the output of "echo $SHELL"?
[05:25] <kid> who can tell me how to register the irc?
[05:25] <lcatta> Does anyone know if "Broadcom 4306" is the correct Nickname for a Buffalo Wireless PCI Network Card?
[05:25] <seamus7> arrenlex: a blank line and then it returns to the # prompt
[05:25] <tonyyarusso> !register | kid
[05:25] <ubotu> kid: Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[05:25] <kitche> CientificoLoco: then get shoutcast
[05:25] <genius314> Speaking of radio... Anyone know of pandora.com? I can't hear any songs it plays.
[05:25] <arrenlex> seamus7: Okay... what's the output of "echo $0"?
[05:25] <kitche> CientificoLoco: read shoutcast website to set it up correctly
[05:26] <arrenlex> seamus7: That's a zero.
[05:26] <seamus7> arrenlex: /bin/sh
[05:26] <bazfoo> genius314: that happened to me today.  I had to open it in konquerer to hear anything
[05:26] <arrenlex> seamus7: Hurrah!
[05:26] <seamus7> arrenlex: :)
[05:26] <arrenlex> seamus7: And what's the output of "file /bin/sh"?
[05:26] <genius314> bazfoo: What is konquerer?
[05:27] <seamus7> arrenlex: /bin/sh: symbolic link to 'dash'
[05:27] <arrenlex> genius314: I use pandora, it works fine for me; konqueror is KDE's browser.
[05:27] <idawood> is that possible if we can add manually some package list in apt-get
[05:27] <arrenlex> seamus7: And what's the output of "file /bin/sh.*"?
[05:27] <idawood> I want to do it because my source.list is giving error on one link. althoug i'm able to open the link in web browser and also the package list file
[05:27] <tomp> tale: ? i added a new user and got same result (blank brown screen) (# adduser fred... then entered info )
[05:27] <seamus7> arrenlex: /bin/sh.distrib: symbolic link to 'bash'
[05:28] <arrenlex> seamus7: Okay. "rm /bin/sh.distrib"
[05:28] <alienseer23> I did an aplay -l command and it showed my soundcard 4 times, is this a problem?
[05:28] <arrenlex> seamus7: After that, reboot into your system; it should be fine now. And don't try the fglrx thing again. Please.
[05:29] <Remy> hey guys.  I'm connecting a USB modem to my ubuntu machine,  how can I check what devices are connected to USB / what port it's on ?
[05:29] <bazfoo> lsusb
[05:29] <seamus7> arrenlex: you are brilliant and patient ... mille grazie .... many thanks .... :)
[05:29] <goofey> any ideas as to why my laptops volume has decreased dramatically?  Checked volume on kmix, amarok, kaffeine and mplayer
[05:29] <alienseer23> can anyone help me with my audio problem???
[05:30] <arrenlex> seamus7: a) Can I quote you? b) I am none of these things, c) Don't thank me yet, it might not work! xD d) You're welcome.
[05:30] <Mk_ds> alienseer23, wt kind of problm?
[05:30] <seamus7> arrenlex: lol ... you can quote me freely
[05:31] <alienseer23> Mk_ds: started no sound at all, I don't know how, but now I have sound on the right channel, and a very scratchy sound on the left, while playing media
[05:31] <orangefly> what's the command to uninstall....???....
[05:31] <alienseer23> Mk_ds: the sound test in the system menu gets all sound fine
[05:32] <alienseer23> Mk_ds: also, the sound level is very low with media, not with system test
[05:32] <tomp> i get a brown screen after login , i added a newuser as a test, he gets same thing , no icons, no menu bars, nada, brown & cursor, ubuntu 5.01
[05:32] <Mk_ds> alienseer23, isnt it a harware problem?
[05:32] <lcatta> Does anyone know if "Broadcom 4306" is the correct Nickname for a Buffalo Wireless PCI Network Card?
[05:32] <CientificoLoco> kitche, can you help me?
[05:32] <alienseer23> Mk_ds, I don't think so, card was working fine under dapper
[05:32] <Mk_ds> alienseer23, hmm, the system test is ok but media sound isnt?
[05:32] <alienseer23> last week
[05:32] <alienseer23> right
[05:32] <CientificoLoco> I can not do it... kitche
[05:32] <alienseer23> I am lost on this
[05:33] <crazney> heya. i just (perhaps stupidly, but i was trying to get an updated package to fix a random bug) dist-upgraded to feisty fawn (from edgy). now whenever i try to boot i get "Begin: waiting for root file system..." where it hangs for ages before dropping to a shell. the older kernels don't seem to work either, they complain about not finding the root file system (giving me some uuid thing). anyone know what could be going on? i'm not using 
[05:33] <neko_> kde programs blink in my gnome-panel. How do I stop this blinking? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Yk8UOetrVY
[05:33] <Mk_ds> alienseer23, try to killall esd and see if it runs better
[05:33] <kitche> CientificoLoco: with?
[05:33] <alienseer23> k
[05:33] <genius314> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39113/ That's my xorg.conf. Is there any reason why my resolution is 1280x800 rather than 1280x1024?
[05:33] <Mk_ds> alienseer23, here, sometimes i was with no sound...
[05:34] <CientificoLoco> kitche, configuring the shoutcast for to transmit my radio...
[05:34] <alienseer23> no better
[05:34] <Mk_ds> alienseer23, a friend told me to setup the sound without esd, and now it runs normal
[05:34] <kid-xiyang> hello,everbody.
[05:35] <Mk_ds> alienseer23, did u change something in the "original" setup?
[05:35] <alienseer23> didn't work with the original setup
[05:35] <kitche> CientificoLoco: ok did you download the server and the DJ tools?
[05:35] <Mk_ds> alienseer23, hmm, wich sound card r u using?
[05:35] <alienseer23> hang on...
[05:36] <CientificoLoco> kitche, noooooooooooooooo..
[05:36] <alienseer23> I am using creative soundblaster live 24bit, it uses ca0106
[05:36] <CientificoLoco> kitche, be a dj?
[05:37] <kitche> CientificoLoco: then I can't help you if you won't get the DJ broadcasting tools
[05:37] <goofey> alienseer23: has your sound always been quiet?  My was fine till 2 days ago - wonder if there was a new kern el 2 days ago or?
[05:37] <rizwaan> how to change "mplayer --disable-mp3lib"
[05:37] <rizwaan> to "--enable-mp3" using "apt-get source -b mplayer"
[05:37] <alienseer23> with dapper, it was loud as hell
[05:37] <goofey> alienseer23: and your using edgy now?
[05:38] <seamus7> arrenlex: It worked! :)
[05:38] <goofey> when did you change?
[05:38] <alienseer23> but, like I said, the system sounds work fine, jsut media is screwed
[05:38] <alienseer23> yes, I am using edgy
[05:38] <arrenlex> seamus7: Hurrah! :D
[05:38] <arrenlex> seamus7: Well, enjoy. And don't touch fglrx.
[05:38] <goofey> alienseer23: how about mp3s?
[05:38] <arrenlex> seamus7: May I ask why you were trying to get it that way?
[05:38] <Mk_ds> alienseer23, i am using dapper =\
[05:38] <CientificoLoco> kitche, I have download the pack for be a dj, how can I install it?
[05:38] <alienseer23> mp3=crap
[05:38] <goofey> alienseer23: music then
[05:38] <alienseer23> all scratchy on the left
[05:38] <alienseer23> yea
[05:38] <genius314> Why are ogg's better than mp3s?
[05:38] <rizwaan> the world is full of crap ;)
[05:38] <alienseer23> here, I'll try a vid
[05:39] <Remy> hey guys.  I'm connecting a USB modem to my ubuntu machine,  how can I check what devices are connected to USB / what port it's on ?
[05:39] <goofey> i think a package change caused this
[05:39] <Remy> !usb
[05:39] <arrenlex> genius314: Because the format is free and the compression is bette.r
[05:39] <arrenlex> r.
[05:39] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about usb - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:39] <arrenlex> Remy: You were answered. "lsusb".
[05:39] <kitche> CientificoLoco: extract it with tar -xvzf sc_trans_posix_040.tgz
[05:39] <Remy> k, thanks arrenlex, didn't highlight !
[05:39] <alienseer23> no good
[05:39] <arrenlex> !who | all
[05:39] <ubotu> all: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say, or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[05:40] <genius314> !who | genius314
[05:40] <ubotu> genius314: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say, or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[05:40] <alienseer23> ogg, mp3, wma all screwed up
[05:40] <seamus7> arrenelx: I had fglrx 8.28.8 isntalled and working properly ... it's in the repositories ... but I was trying to update to the latest fglrx 8.32.5 ... that's when the problems started .... the open source radeon drivers doesn't support my radeon mobile x1300 card so the fglrx 8.28.8 is what I'll need to go back to
[05:40] <dint> How to change the default application to open a file? so I don't need to use OpenWith
[05:40] <Remy> arrenlex - should there by a reference to the modem lie tty/usb ? or something?
[05:41] <arrenlex> seamus7: "working properly" and "trying to update", eh? xD That's your problem right there.
[05:41] <arrenlex> seamus7: If hardware works in Linux, don't ever even breathe on it.
[05:41] <CientificoLoco> kitche, yeah ok... then?
[05:41] <SubMOA> what is an IRC key?
[05:41] <SubMOA> using something like line
[05:42] <SubMOA> link*
[05:42] <Gun_Smoke> With the LiveCD can I install without the first starting the liveCD?  I'm trying to get xubuntu on an older machine.. And I'm losing patience waiting for the cd to load.  Plus there isn't much mem, so the GUI is insanely slow.
[05:42] <arrenlex> !alternate | Gun_Smoke
[05:42] <ubotu> Gun_Smoke: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[05:42] <n2diy> Gun_Smoke: How low is the memory?
[05:43] <kitche> CientificoLoco: then run the sc that has Linux at the end
[05:43] <goofey> Gun_Smoke: there's an alternative cd that (i'm pretty sure" has a non0gui install
[05:43] <Gun_Smoke> 120
[05:43] <Gun_Smoke> I think.
[05:43] <seamus7> arrenlex: yeah .... I'm pretty confident that the I can go back to fglrx 8.28.8 but I won't touch that /bin/sh ever again .... I want my 3d acceleration to work and I had had a second monitor set up using BigDesktop ... I was hoping the bleeding edge ati drive might let me rotate my right display but I guess it's not going to happen
[05:43] <Gun_Smoke> This thing was just given to me today.. And older pent3 HP
[05:43] <CientificoLoco> kitche, how can I tun the sc?
[05:43] <n2diy> What version are you trying to install?
[05:43] <n2diy> Gun_Smoke:  What version are you trying to install?
[05:44] <arrenlex> seamus7: If you want, I can help you change /bin/sh to point to bash permanently, so everything will always work.
[05:44] <arrenlex> seamus7: Dunno why they even changed it.
[05:44] <kitche> CientificoLoco: ./sc_trans_linux
[05:44] <wyld> wye isn't my " " key working? it's between g and j on te kb, and g and i in te alfabet.
[05:44] <Kim^J> Anyone using Beryl?
[05:44] <seamus7> arrenlex: yeah I read that ... isn't there some command I can put in a terminal profile to switch it?
[05:44] <dint> !php
[05:44] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

[05:44] <arrenlex> wyld: Maybe the keyboard is broken? Does it work in any other keyboard?
[05:44] <Ashton_Ke> I need to downgrade from the latest version of glib, how could I do that?
[05:45] <wyld> it works in windows
[05:45] <seamus7> arrenlex: will it cause problems to switch permanently?
[05:45] <arrenlex> seamus7: No.
[05:45] <wyld> and te last letter don't work eiter
[05:45] <arrenlex> wyld: Are you using a standard QWERTY keyboard?
[05:45] <seamus7> arrenlex: okay show me the way..
[05:45] <wyld> ya
[05:45] <Kim^J> Anyone using Snow in Beryl?
[05:46] <arrenlex> seamus7: sudo ln -fs /bin/bash /bin/sh
[05:46] <arrenlex> seamus7: Then I strongly advise you to reboot.
[05:46] <seamus7> arrenlex: I have /bin/bash listed under the Title and Command tab in my terminal's default profile as an option I could "Run a custom command instead of my shell" .... wouldn't that do it?
[05:47] <tomp> ubuto: i get a brown screen after login (no icon, no tool bars),can I repair using an install cd (ubuntu 5) ?
[05:47] <seamus7> arrenlex: but I haven't checked the option so it's not in effect
[05:47] <noiesmo> Kim^J, yeah i can use the snow plugin why's that?
[05:47] <wyld> arrenlex: it's a usb belkin keyboard. I recently messed wit te kb sortcuts in gnome to see if i could get some sortcuts to work for multimedia.
[05:48] <lcatta> It appears as if my wireless network card is being detected and the drivers are loaded (Broadcom 4306) but when I run lshw it says the device is disabled. Does anyone have any idea of how to enable this device?
[05:48] <n2diy> tomp: ubotu is the list's robot.
[05:48] <tomp> doh!
[05:48] <n2diy> tomp: :)
[05:48] <arrenlex> seamus7: Just use the command I gave you.
[05:48] <wyld> tomp: everyone's dont it, don't worry
[05:48] <tomp> can i use an install cd to repair this: i got a brown screen after login...
[05:49] <seamus7> arrenlex: okay ... after I reboot it will be permanently in bash mode?
[05:49] <n2diy> wyld: yep.
[05:49] <Gun_Smoke> n2diy:  Dapper.. Xubuntu
[05:49] <Gun_Smoke> Better option?
[05:50] <n2diy> Gun_Smoke: I stepped out, what is the question again?
[05:50] <Kim^J> noiesmo: Well nothing really. Works neat. I just think it's pretty damn cool. :)
[05:50] <arrenlex> seamus7: Yes.
[05:51] <noiesmo> Kim^J, :)
[05:51] <seamus7> arrenlex: ok thx
[05:51] <larryone> the #bittorrent channel seems very......   dead. I'm on breezy and think I might have firewall issues
[05:51] <SubMOA> if an IRC channel says "Type '/list #XXXX'" to get a key, is that dangerous in anyway?
[05:51] <neko_> kde programs blink in my gnome-panel. How do I stop this blinking? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Yk8UOetrVY
[05:52] <neko_> SubMOA: no.
[05:52] <toad-six2> i have a pretty basic question - if i ssh into my server, and start a program with &, will the program still be running after i log out?
[05:52] <goofey> any ideas as to why my laptops volume has decreased dramatically?  Checked volume on kmix, amarok, kaffeine and mplayer
[05:52] <neko_> SubMOA: Here's where you get pr0n: /server Undernet; /join #xxxpasswords; /join #MasterXXXPasswords
[05:53] <arrenlex> xD WTF?
[05:53] <lcatta> and #xxxpasswordz
[05:53] <arrenlex> Why are we swapping porn on the #ubuntu channel?
[05:53] <Gun_Smoke> n2diy:  You had asked me what version I was planning to put on the older pent3 HP.. I said dapper Xubuntu
[05:53] <neko_> Lol, sorry. :3
[05:53] <SubMOA> neko_ BAHAHAHAHAHA, not trying to get porn, on my XChat server thing there is a 2600 group or something and it says I need a key and to type that, but I don't want to do something stupid and I'm new.
[05:53] <rcbaxter> toad-six2: No.
[05:53] <goofey> toad-six2: screen will do what you want - allows you to attach and detach a session
[05:53] <Gun_Smoke> n2diy:  And then asked if you had a better option in mind.
[05:54] <wyld> friggin 'eck i want my  and  keys back now!!!!!!!
[05:54] <goofey> SubMOA: where do they want you to type it into?
[05:54] <wyld> grrrrr
[05:54] <toad-six2> hmm...i want to keep a program running after i log out of my ssh session - are you saying i need an app called screen?
[05:54] <SubMOA> I think the IRC text box thing
[05:54] <larryone> screen will do the job alright
[05:54] <goofey> toad-six2: i'm not 100% sure it will stay running or not, but with screen - no question
[05:55] <larryone> it's  very handy program
[05:55] <toad-six2> ok...i'll check it out
[05:55] <n2diy> Gun_Smoke: ok, with 120 meg, that isn't going to happen. I had to install 5.10, and then, 6.06, to get Dapper to play with 196 megs.
[05:55] <SubMOA> goofey, would it have mattered?
[05:55] <goofey> SubMOA: sure - command line vs irc chat line vs?????
[05:56] <rcbaxter> toad-six2: I do this quite often by tunneling VNC through ssh.
[05:56] <goofey> if they want you to type /load in irc, that command would first be looked at by your iorc client, and then  passed to thr irc server is no match
[05:56] <larryone> what ports does bittorrent tend to listen on????
[05:56] <SubMOA> goofey, righto.  I see what you mean.
[05:57] <Gun_Smoke> n2diy:  I'm not very sure if thats correct or not.. How do you find out on a windows machine?  I don't know much about them?  And where can you find 5.10 at today?
[05:57] <SubMOA> opps
[05:57] <goofey> SubMOA: in irssi, /load loads a plugin. If full path isn't given, irssi searches the plugin from directories
[05:57] <flyinghippo> Does anyone know of a good defragmenting utility for Linux/GNOME?
[05:57] <arrenlex> !defrag | flyinghippo
[05:57] <ubotu> flyinghippo: defragmentation is not needed for Ext3 and ReiserFS filesystems. They are much more efficient in their allocation of storage units.
[05:57] <goofey> flyinghippo: none needed for linux - it autodefrags
[05:57] <Kim^J> Where should the bin for PHP5 be?
[05:57] <SubMOA> goofey, that is from the IRC Text box, right?  and that plugin, is it exploitable?
[05:57] <rcbaxter> flyinghippo: fsck :)
[05:57] <Kim^J> Using the php5 deb.
[05:58] <arrenlex> !kidding | rcbaxter
[05:58] <ubotu> rcbaxter: You may think your joke is funny, but you may confuse new users or irritate people who actually start answering your question :)
[05:58] <goofey> SubMOA: yes, from the irc text box - what was the plugin again?
[05:58] <Kim^J> !php

[05:58] <n2diy> Gun_Smoke: I haven't played in Winders in six years, can you get to a command prompt, and type "mem"? I don't know if 5.10 is archived or not?
[05:58] <un_operateur> ooo, reiserFS does have serious defrag problems (that apparently can't be corrected)
[05:58] <SubMOA> goofey, no plugin that I'm aware of, butu it said to type "/link #2600"
[05:59] <Gun_Smoke> n2diy:  I try the cmd.
[05:59] <goofey> SubMOA: oh, link - thought you said load - let me look
[05:59] <SubMOA> goofey, rgr
[05:59] <goofey> SubMOA: no clue as to what that would do
[06:00] <goofey> what irc client?
[06:00] <gaten> is there anyway to unmount a budy ntfs volume w/o rebooting? ive tried umount -f, and -l won't do what I need it to do (unmount it now so i can use dd_rescue)
[06:00] <SubMOA> goofey XChat
[06:00] <un_operateur> the mem command was phased out of windows around win9x, wasn't it?
[06:00] <un_operateur> gaten, what's "budy NTFS"?
[06:00] <goofey> SubMOA: I would look in  xchat help to make sure it's not something xchat has built in - irssi doesn't FWIW
[06:01] <SubMOA> goofey, ok, thank you for your help
[06:01] <gaten> un_operateur:  woops. "busy"
[06:01] <goofey> any ideas as to why my laptops volume has decreased dramatically?  Checked volume on kmix, amarok, kaffeine and mplayer
[06:01] <defiant> Can anyone help me figure out why my remote desktop keeps crashing
[06:01] <un_operateur> gaten, ahh, you need to close all processes that have open files on that volume -- lsof | grep -i /volumename
[06:01] <goofey> gaten: make sure your not running any scripts or apps from that filesystem
[06:01] <arrenlex> goofey: Did you accidentally hit the volume control wheel? xP
[06:02] <gaten> defiant:  error message?
[06:02] <defiant> it just tells me
[06:02] <gaten> try running it in terminal and see what it says
[06:02] <defiant> that it crashed
[06:02] <goofey> arrenlex: good question - none on this laptop that i can find
[06:02] <defiant> it happens when someone connects to me
[06:02] <goofey> gaten: and you can also run sync - that might help
[06:03] <defiant> is there another way
[06:03] <gaten> goofey:  ok thanks
[06:03] <defiant> kinda like gnome did without the pass
[06:03] <defiant> I am on Kubuntu with KDE
[06:03] <n2diy> !enter
[06:03] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[06:03] <gaten> defend:  um, you could look in dmesg or /var/log/messages to see if any errors pop up
[06:03] <n2diy> ! enter | defiant
[06:03] <ubotu> defiant: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[06:04] <goofey> arrenlex: bloody hell - there *is* a volume control wheel!  doh!!!
[06:04] <goofey> gaten: any luck?
[06:04] <un_operateur> . o 0 ( talk about a goof-up :) )
[06:04] <defiant> There where different parts to that question. It did not warrant being on one line.
[06:04] <wheels3572> Can someone help me here im confused on this.  goto this link and see if you can help me figure this out please.  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39117/
[06:04] <arrenlex> goofey: Are you serious?! XD
[06:04] <gaten> goofey:  no. found the process, nautalis is still running after i closed it. but kill -9 isnt working
[06:04] <goofey> arrenlex: lol -yes!
[06:05] <arrenlex> goofey: Awesome! xD
[06:05] <goofey> arrenlex: yeah!
[06:05] <goofey> gaten: try sudo kill -9?
[06:05] <un_operateur> defiant, it's just better to keep everything on one line so that people keep easy track of what you say.. even if they are multipart queries
[06:05] <arrenlex> goofey: That sounds like my problem I was having with my floppy when I was a Linux n00b. It kept telling me the block device was invalid. After an hour searching the internet for help, I realised I had not put it in. xD
[06:05] <goofey> arrenlex: lol - I like that
[06:05] <gaten> goofey:  yep
[06:06] <goofey> arrenlex: well, i am `a noob on this laptop - so that's what bit me
[06:06] <mister_roboto> arrenlex: you could argue that it was a bad error message :)
[06:06] <goofey> gaten: well, a reboot will fix it.....  :(
[06:06] <goofey> arrenlex: this is my first real laptop
[06:06] <amicrawle> I NEED HELP PLEASE
[06:06] <defiant> good to know that they would rather trash you then help you.
[06:06] <gaten> goofey:  yeah looks like. i had using a windows solution on a linux os. oy
[06:06] <__mikem> !caps amicrawle
[06:06] <Ppjet6> hum, re
[06:06] <Ppjet6> scuse me ;)
[06:06] <ubotu> caps: C* Audio Plugin Suite. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3.0-1 (edgy), package size 184 kB, installed size 404 kB
[06:06] <goofey> gaten: lol - i know that feeling
[06:06] <Madpilot> amicrawle, no need to shout - and you'll get help faster if you ask an actual question...
[06:07] <amicrawle> i need help pleae
[06:07] <un_operateur> amicrawle, hit that CAPS button and ask a question to the room :)
[06:07] <n2diy> Gun_Smoke: ???
[06:07] <__mikem> um not what I had in mind
[06:07] <gaten> goofey:  ok. thanks for the help. bbiab
[06:07] <goofey> gaten: anytime
[06:07] <wheels3572> Need help wtih Onboard sound overriding my soundcard  ANY help greatly appreciated ty
[06:07] <amicrawle> i just need help probly somthing simple
[06:07] <Gun_Smoke> n2diy:  Over at #windows getting help from experts lol.
[06:07] <un_operateur> wheels3572, at your terminal -- asoundconf --help
[06:07] <mister_roboto> amicrawle: just ask
[06:07] <goofey> wheels3572: is the onboard sound turned off in the bios?
[06:08] <un_operateur> Gun_Smoke, what are you after?
[06:08] <amicrawle> i want to see preview in my manager
[06:08] <wheels3572> un_operateur, it's something simple I know but im confused with it.  This paste should better tell what im talking about http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39117/
[06:08] <Madpilot> amicrawle, preview of what, in which manager?
[06:08] <n2diy> Gun_Smoke: roger that.
[06:08] <wheels3572> goofey, yes it's turned off in the bios.  But Linux is STILL recognizing it
[06:09] <goofey> wheels3572: that's not good!  :)
[06:09] <amicrawle> so in my user/home  i have video that have a very genarick  pic on it it use to have a sample pic of what the video was . how cani get that back again
[06:09] <wheels3572> goofey, tell me about it
[06:09] <defiant> Does this mean that noone knows the answer?
[06:09] <amicrawle> kde
[06:10] <Gun_Smoke> un_operateur:  Looking to find out what this old (running win1898) has for mem.  And I have no idea where to look on the thing.. I'm trying to get Ubuntu installed on it.
[06:10] <flyinghippo> As uncomfortable as I feel asking so many questions... is there a way to disable/lower the volume of the obnoxious PC beeping?  :|
[06:10] <un_operateur> defiant, now you know why we say, keep your questions together
[06:10] <goofey> wheels3572: i'm not an expert on sound stuff - but i wonder if you could unload the onboard sound module from the kernal and then  keep it from loading?
[06:10] <amicrawle> in gnome it does it but not kde
[06:10] <defiant> the question was together
[06:10] <n2diy> un_operateur: he "thinks" he has 120 meg of ram, and we are trying to determine that from the darkside. He wants to install 6.06, but I don't think that is happening with a 120 meg.
[06:10] <un_operateur> Gun_Smoke, it should be in the properties under "my computer"
[06:10] <defiant> noone answered ot
[06:10] <wheels3572> goofey, im a linux newbie I dont know the FIRST thing about building a kernel lol
[06:10] <un_operateur> Gun_Smoke, errm, not sure but this may work -- start > run > sysdm.cpl
[06:11] <goofey> wheels3572: well, my idea wouldn't mean recompiling (i think) - but i don't know how you unload a module
[06:11] <un_operateur> n2diy, 120Meg will do but he'll need to cut down on the glamour and eye-candy and settle for something very lightweight
[06:12] <Gun_Smoke> un_operateur:  No that didn't work.
[06:12] <eob84> has anyone gone through the myth tv set up?
  any clues? on how to ?
[06:12] <defiant> Can anyone atleast point me in the right direction
[06:12] <defiant> or is that not possible
[06:12] <goofey> Gun_Smoke: which version of windows>?
[06:12] <wheels3572> Right
[06:12] <n2diy> un_operateur: I couldn't get 6.06 to play with 196 meg, I had to install 5.10, and then 6.06 would go.
[06:12] <mister_roboto> n2diy: i run xubuntu on an old p3 with 128 and it works fine. a little sluggish, i mean, but it works
[06:12] <un_operateur> Gun_Smoke, you're looking to check how much memory the comp has right?
[06:12] <amicrawle> i use  xine as my prim  video player
[06:13] <n2diy> mister_roboto: roger on that.
[06:13] <goofey> wheels3572: ok - looks like modprobe can remove modules from the kernel
[06:13] <Madpilot> amicrawle, no idea, I've never used KDE; I do know that Gnome does those thumbnails/previews by default...
[06:13] <arrenlex> goofey: rmmod
[06:13] <goofey> so, you might try and find out which module the onboard sound is using...
[06:13] <un_operateur> n2diy, IIRC ubuntu GUI install requires atleast 96MiB RAM otherwise it resorts to a text install (I might be mistaking this for another distro)
[06:13] <witless> is there a GNOME-based midi player available for ubuntu?
[06:13] <eob84> I did apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server phpmyadmin, when I try to go to localhost/phpmyadmin it tries to download the page
[06:13] <goofey> wheels3572: or rmmod as arrenlex said
[06:13] <amicrawle> does any body use kde ?
[06:14] <arrenlex> witless: Do you need just a player, or a synth emulator?
[06:14] <witless> arrenlex: just a player
[06:14] <n2diy> un_operateur: roger that, I don't know either.
[06:14] <witless> (i think :-) )
[06:14] <defiant> This is not cool. Microsoft gives better support then this.
[06:14] <goofey> wheels3572: does that make any sense?
[06:14] <Madpilot> amicrawle, people in #kubuntu do
[06:14] <un_operateur> n2diy,
[06:14] <eob84> I activated the phtml extention it's trying to use but it didn't work
[06:14] <un_operateur> oops
[06:14] <un_operateur> n/m
[06:14] <amicrawle> that know how to get  video files to do  thumbnails/previews by default
[06:14] <amicrawle> in the kde mrg
[06:14] <n2diy> un_operateur: ??
[06:14] <goofey> defiant: they get paid - what's you question again?
[06:15] <un_operateur> n2diy, read latter posts :)
[06:15] <dthacker> amicrawle:  please try the #kubuntu channel for your question
[06:15] <wheels3572> goofey im clueless im a newbie myself lol
[06:15] <arrenlex> amicrawle: Open kcontrol.
[06:15] <Gun_Smoke> un_operateur:  98. Yes.
[06:15] <arrenlex> amicrawle: Desktop - Behavior
[06:15] <arrenlex> amicrawle: File Icons tab
[06:15] <n2diy> un_operateur: what is a latter posts ?  :)
[06:15] <arrenlex> amicrawle: Check what you want previews for.
[06:15] <goofey> wheels3572: no worries - someone here will know how to do this - just not me.  :(
[06:15] <kcinna> hey all
[06:15] <un_operateur> Gun_Smoke, the first tab when you click "my computer" does list how much memory and CPU it has .. I dunno why you dont see that
[06:16] <goofey> Gun_Smoke: on win98, right click on "my Computer" - and then go to properties
[06:16] <Gun_Smoke> ok
[06:16] <goofey> Gun_Smoke: mem is show there
[06:16] <arrenlex> Gun_Smoke: start - run - dxdiag
[06:16] <wheels3572> goofey, np man ty :)
[06:16] <amicrawle> video is not one of them
[06:16] <un_operateur> Gun_Smoke, otherwise check at the command prompt -- start > run > command .. and type in  mem
[06:16] <goofey> wheels3572: good luck
[06:16] <kcinna> if i have a dvd in iso format, whats an application that will convert it to a playable format?
[06:16] <goofey> kcinna: can you mount the iso?
[06:16] <un_operateur> kcinna, you can extract the DVD from the ISO image
[06:17] <wheels3572> goofey, ok ty man
[06:17] <arrenlex> amicrawle: Look in konqueror - settings - configure konqueror - "previews and meta-data"
[06:17] <amicrawle> how do i add video to File Icons tab
[06:17] <goofey> kcinna: and then use something like kaffeine or xine or mplayer?
[06:17] <arrenlex> amicrawle: I suggest checking all local protocols and seeing what happens.
[06:17] <RxDx> anyone here installed LookinGlass?
[06:17] <kcinna> un_operateur:  i opened it with archive manager and there are a bunch of ifo, bup, and vob files
[06:18] <un_operateur> kcinna, yep, collectively, those files make up for the DVD
[06:18] <Gun_Smoke> Alright guys.. Thanks, got it.. It's only 120 for sure.. So I'm guessing Ubuntu is out..
[06:18] <un_operateur> Gun_Smoke, 120 is enough to get a minimal install running .. no fancy eyecandy or the such tho
[06:18] <goofey> Gun_Smoke: I've used DSL on an old laptop of mine - 120mhz with 32mb ram - runs great
[06:19] <arrenlex> amicrawle: If that doesn't work, use google. In particular, this is the first result I got for "konqueror video previews" : http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=299762
[06:19] <arrenlex> amicrawle: It looks very helpful.
[06:19] <mister_roboto> Gun_Smoke: you can run it, just not advisable to use gnome or kde desktop managers. try a lightweight window manager instead, like xfce
[06:19] <kcinna> un_operateur:  so how can i extract a playable format?
[06:19] <Gun_Smoke> un_operateur: I planed on running Xubuntu
[06:19] <Gun_Smoke> Xbuntu.
[06:19] <goofey> Gun_Smoke: that would probably workl
[06:19] <goofey> er, work
[06:19] <goofey> no?
[06:20] <milky> i am having troubles setting up my wireless
[06:20] <un_operateur> kcinna, you'll need to mount the iso --  mount -o loop disk1.iso /mnt/disk
[06:20] <Gun_Smoke> I have the alternateCD downloading now.
[06:20] <milky> with umuntu
[06:20] <un_operateur> Gun_Smoke, even xubuntu is going to have to work hard to cope there
[06:20] <goofey> kcinna: and then just point your dvd playing software to that mount point
[06:20] <n2diy> Gun_Smoke: good call,  alternate gives you a chance.
[06:20] <arrenlex> amicrawle: From that page, this in particular is exactly relevant to ubuntu: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=3307
[06:21] <goofey> kcinna: or use a dvd-ripper to rip from that mount point
[06:21] <arrenlex> amicrawle: If none of THAT helps you, I'm sorry, but I'm out of ideas.
[06:21] <un_operateur> I tried xubuntu on 128MB sometime ago and it crawled .. but when I used fluxbox it quickly became a workhorse
[06:21] <eob84> I did apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server phpmyadmin, when I try to go to localhost/phpmyadmin it tries to download the page rather then loading in it... any help?
[06:21] <arrenlex> amicrawle: Next time ask on #kubuntu for KDE questions. Also, google is your friend.
[06:21] <goofey> flux os pretty sweet - it's what DSL (damn small linux) uses too
[06:21] <goofey> er, flux is
[06:22] <mister_roboto> Gun_Smoke: openbox is also very lightweight window manager. barebones but fast
[06:22] <dthacker> eob84, what do your apache logs tell you?
[06:22] <wheels3572> arrenlex, would it be good to rmmod my sound issue or would it be better to do what this URL here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39117/   says to do?
[06:22] <arrenlex> wheels3572: I don't know anything about that. Sorry.
[06:22] <defiant> Well, thanks for the help. Noone
[06:22] <un_operateur> eob84, you didnt mention installing php itself tho ?? :)
[06:23] <eob84> I did install php
[06:23] <goofey> defiant: lol - I *asked* you what your quesiton was - you ignoied me
[06:23] <goofey> er, ignored me
[06:23] <Gun_Smoke> So what should I stick on it?
[06:23] <arrenlex> !attitude | defiant
[06:23] <ubotu> defiant: The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[06:23] <eob84> 5 installs with phpmyadmin
[06:23] <wheels3572> arrenlex, ok np ty
[06:23] <arrenlex> defiant: I also recall several people asking you what your question actually was, and you ignored them.
[06:23] <defiant> my attitude? I came on here asking a question and got my ars chewed out for typing
[06:23] <arrenlex> defiant: That's not a good way to get help.
[06:24] <defiant> I never ignored anyone, I just did not see them talking to me
[06:24] <goofey> wheels3572: here's what *I* think - take with a grain of salt - ubuntu configured both your soundcards - all you have to do is remove the "entry" for the onboard one....
[06:24] <mister_roboto> defiant: just ask one more time or please quit bitching
[06:24] <Gun_Smoke> It wont need to do much.. Light surfing, writing papers and what not.
[06:24] <arrenlex> defiant: WHAT IS YOUR QUESTION.
[06:24] <un_operateur> eob84, have you tried running a "hello world" php script and testing it out on apache?
[06:24] <goofey> defiant: ok then - please restate the question
[06:24] <defiant> dude, who the hell are you to tell me to quit bitching. I was asking a simple question and got my ass chewed out
[06:25] <mister_roboto> Gun_Smoke: i would try xubuntu if i were you. if it was a little too slow, try installing the openbox window manager and using that. it's even faster
[06:25] <defiant> that was what was not cool
[06:25] <un_operateur> !language | defiant
[06:25] <ubotu> defiant: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[06:25] <n2diy> defiant, mayber they didn't see you either, if you don't put n2diy in your response, it is just noise to me.
[06:25] <defiant> he cursed at me and I am the one that gets warned
[06:25] <kcinna> un_operateur and goofey: Thanks guys!!
[06:25] <Gun_Smoke> mister_roboto:  I haven't heard of openbox before..
[06:25] <goofey> kcinna: did it work?
[06:25] <goofey> Gun_Smoke: or flux
[06:25] <dthacker> eob84: also, is your apache server running?  Do you get the apache test page at localhost?
[06:25] <n2diy> defiant, see this?
[06:25] <defiant> yes
[06:26] <n2diy> see this?
[06:26] <un_operateur> defiant, it's a busy channel, you have to keep up with the paste, because no one is expected to remember what you said 2 minutes ago
[06:26] <mister_roboto> Gun_Smoke: try installing it and select that session type next time you log in. it's pretty slick. very fast. not a lot of glitz but great on low resource machines
[06:26] <un_operateur> s/paste/pace/
[06:26] <n2diy> defiant, see the difference?
[06:26] <goofey> un_operateur: i thought you made a pun!
[06:26] <Gun_Smoke> mister_roboto:  I will thanks for the advice.
[06:26] <eob84> dthacker: yea
[06:26] <kcinna> goofey: sure did
[06:26] <dennister> hi ppl...still having probs with alsa and microphone on wrong sound system...can anyone help?
[06:26] <un_operateur> goofey, ha, no :)
[06:26] <goofey> defiant: one last try - what's the question?
[06:26] <goofey> kcinna: nice - grats - and anytime!
[06:26] <kcinna> goofey: im now watching the lemon jelly 64-95 dvd, if you're familiar
[06:26] <defiant> My question is
[06:27] <goofey> kcinna: 'friad not
[06:27] <un_operateur> defiant, single line please
[06:27] <goofey> loll
[06:27] <defiant> dude, can i type
[06:27] <dthacker> eob84: cool! now check your apache logs and see what the error is
[06:27] <arrenlex> defiant: Here is your template: "I want to know how I can .................... ". Fill in the blank.
[06:27] <goofey> SubMOA: any luck with the ntfs thing?
[06:27] <nn> is there anything that might cause a ubuntu box that's behind a sunrocket gizmo to lock the gizmo up every now and then with some kind of CRC error in the logs?
[06:28] <un_operateur> defiant, well, suit yourself, if it gets busy, just dont expected to be treated like a king :)
[06:28] <nn> goofey: ntfs.. tried ntfs-3g?
[06:28] <eob84> dthacker, php script is working got hello world to output
[06:28] <defiant> I am not a child, I know how to type. My question was how to find out why my remote desktop keeps crashing. Noone said I was trying to be treated like a king.
[06:28] <goofey> nn: thanks - but SubMOA was having an issue unmounting an ntfs partition - i suggested a reboot
[06:28] <dthacker> nn: sunrocket gizmo? Is that a firewall?
[06:28] <nn> dthacker: it's a voip ATA
[06:29] <goofey> defiant: my guess is that few of us use remote desktop
[06:29] <Pie-rate> is there a way to get the nvidia control panel?
[06:29] <czedlitz> i turn it off
[06:29] <gobles> anyone here use hellanzb pm me please?
[06:29] <dthacker> nn:  out of my league, for now.
[06:29] <nn> dthacker: a piece of *%*@( really, but my ubuntu box is being blamed for it's brokeness
[06:29] <goofey> defiant: something kinda obscure like that might be better to use google
[06:29] <un_operateur> defiant, have you tried running remote desktop from the command line to see what errors it spits out to the console?
[06:29] <n2diy> defiant, if you want to carry on a conversation with someone, you have to inculde their nick in the message, or it will scroll by un-noticed.
[06:29] <nn> unfortunately i'm a guest on the network i'm using presently to ssh home to my box in NYC
[06:29] <un_operateur> lol n2diy :))
[06:30] <SubMOA> sorry goofey, I don't think that was me
[06:30] <goofey> SubMOA: oh, ok, nm
[06:30] <defiant> It will not run via command line
[06:30] <nn> and the stupid sunrocket innomedia piece of crap keeps locking up and my ubuntu box catches the blame because it's not wintrash
[06:30] <erpo> I need a version of libglib with debugging symbols on my system. I am running Edgy Eft. How can I do this?
[06:30] <n2diy> un_operateur: nooooo! :)
[06:30] <SubMOA> goofey, .....yet
[06:30] <un_operateur> defiant, you are talking about the remote desktop to windows, are you not?
[06:30] <goofey> SubMOA: :)
[06:30] <Pie-rate> is there a way to get the nvidia control panel, so i can overclock for example?
[06:30] <defiant> no i am not. The one for Kubuntu
[06:30] <dthacker> nn: ah, you're a target of opportunity!
[06:30] <nn> erpo: apt-cache search glib|grep debug
[06:31] <eob84> dthacker, sorry to ask a lame question but do you know where the logs are located?
[06:31] <goofey> eob84: /var/log/apache?
[06:31] <un_operateur> defiant, err, do you use this particular "remote desktop" to connect to windows machines?
[06:31] <dthacker> eob84: polite questions are not lame.  /var/log/apache or /var/log/apache2
[06:31] <nn> dthacker++
[06:31] <dennister> Pie-rate: in terminal, just type in: nvidia-settings
[06:31] <goofey> dthacker: amen brother!
[06:31] <defiant> no it is not to connect to a windows machine
[06:32] <nn> un_operateur: You can do this..
[06:32] <nn> un_operateur: It requires a package called rdesktop
[06:32] <un_operateur> defiant, i think you need to open up more and explain the issue, because none of us here have crystal balls, comprende?
[06:33] <un_operateur> nn, oui, je sais, i use rdesktop all the time
[06:33] <defiant> I explained what it was. Remote desktop keeps crashing. It also does not give me an error
[06:33] <mister_roboto> defiant: rdesktop doesn't run from the command line?
[06:33] <erpo> nn: Thank you.
[06:33] <un_operateur> mister_roboto, apparently its not rdesktop he's running
[06:33] <defiant> mister_roboto no it does not
[06:34] <nn> erpo: np, good luck with your debugging, remember, use the apt-get source as needed :)
[06:34] <n2diy> un_operateur: Roger that!
[06:34] <mister_roboto> defiant: ummmm  what happens when you try it? it certainly is runnable from the command line
[06:34] <eob84> dthacker, caught SIGTERM, shutting down
[06:34] <goofey> hmm, maybe it's just me - but what about /usr/bin/rdesktop?
[06:34] <defiant> mister_robot it does not do anything, it just goes back to the command line
[06:34] <eob84> dthacker, Apache/2.0.55 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.1.6 configured -- resuming normal operations
[06:35] <eob84> dthacker, that was all that was in error.log
[06:35] <mister_roboto> defiant: are you seeing any kind of messages in /var/log/message?
[06:35] <PrimeHex> ok
[06:35] <PrimeHex> back
[06:35] <LameBMX> ahhhhh sound got me
[06:35] <LameBMX> lol
[06:35] <un_operateur> defiant, whats the _exact_ command you are typing out?
[06:35] <mister_roboto> defiant: errr /var/log/messages i meant
[06:36] <Some_Person> i cant get my dsl to work in ubuntu
[06:36] <dthacker> eob84: pondering.....
[06:36] <LameBMX> Some_Person:
[06:36] <LameBMX> how did it go
[06:36] <Some_Person> not well at all
[06:36] <LameBMX> what happened
[06:36] <tony_> does anyone know how to get an Internal Dell Wireless 1300 working on Ubuntu?
[06:37] <Some_Person> i've googled, looked at forum posts, edited files, and i'm no closer to getting it to work
[06:37] <dennister> nn!
[06:37] <LameBMX> do you know what chip ur nic uses? ...
[06:37] <un_operateur> eob84, have you tried a "hello world" php script ?
[06:37] <Some_Person> nvidia nforce
[06:37] <n2diy> Some_Person: can you ping 127.0.0.1?
[06:37] <LameBMX> no
[06:37] <dthacker> eob84: I do not have apache installed on ubuntu, so I am not sure of the defaults.  Do you know your DocumentRoot?
[06:37] <LameBMX> that lo
[06:37] <LameBMX> local loopback
[06:38] <Some_Person> loopback works
[06:38] <tony_> yea I got that too
[06:38] <LameBMX> yea if that dont ur really screwed lol
[06:38] <tony_> but no eth1
[06:38] <Some_Person> no eth0
[06:38] <eob84> un_operateur tried php script and it works fine
[06:38] <LameBMX> ahhh
[06:38] <LameBMX> this on an install
[06:38] <swilliamson> how do i mount the cdrom via the command line?
[06:38] <LameBMX> or on livecd
[06:38] <Some_Person> an install of dapper
[06:38] <dmc_> How can i check my kernel version?
[06:38] <un_operateur> eob84, I've never run phpmyadmin -- but is it a php script too?
[06:38] <n2diy> Some_Person: what is the address of eth0? Can you ping that?
[06:38] <LameBMX> okay
[06:38] <LameBMX> did it work before
[06:38] <Some_Person> its never worked
[06:38] <LameBMX> he has no eth0 n2diy
[06:38] <mister_roboto> dmc_: uname -r
[06:38] <un_operateur> dmc_, uname -r
[06:39] <amicrawle> xine willnot update
[06:39] <daya> swilliamson, mount /cdrom
[06:39] <n2diy> LameBMX: ok, how is he interfaced?
[06:39] <Some_Person> there is an eth0 configured, but dhcp (yes, my modem/router uses dhcp) fails
[06:39] <LameBMX> right now windows
[06:39] <LameBMX> Some_Person:
[06:39] <LameBMX> have u rebooted the router
[06:40] <Some_Person> many times
[06:40] <eob84> un_operateur, yea it is; I need it for myth tv so myth tv can update channel schedules
[06:40] <un_operateur> Some_Person, your modem doesnt happen to be a PPPoE modem, does it?
[06:40] <nn> dthacker: ah, bucky informs me it could be a higher MTU on the ubuntu box than what windows normally uses causing this issue, so i'm playing with lower MTU
[06:40] <LameBMX> hmmm
[06:41] <swilliamson> ok but how do i access the cdrom after mounting
[06:41] <eob84> un_operateur, I'm sure there is a way to access mysql server directly without a web server, but this is how they did it for some reason
[06:41] <Some_Person> i'm not sure
[06:41] <Some_Person> i was able to get it connected with pppoeconf yesterday, but that stopped today
[06:41] <dthacker> eob84: on my non-ubuntu apache installation, DocRoot is /srv/www/htdocs.  phpmyadmin is located in /srv/www/htdocs/phpmyadmin.  Where is your phpmyadmin located?
[06:41] <un_operateur> eob84, I have a feeling that there's an apache directive that makes the location/directory where phpmyadmin resides NoExec
[06:42] <Some_Person> today pppoeconf cant find an access concentrator
[06:42] <nn> syscfg mount persist nfs christine:/media/mp3 on /mp3 auto
[06:42] <dthacker> eob84: un_operateur is on the right track
[06:42] <LameBMX> un_operateur: its a seimens speedstream 4100 ... right now its set to handle pppoe itself and dhcp on the lan side of things
[06:42] <n2diy> un_operateur:  Some_Person what does ifconfig show?
[06:42] <PrimeHex> Anybody in ubuntu have magical powers to fix the borked tubes between here and asia so that we can play xbox live again?
[06:42] <LameBMX> and windows is obviously gettin its dhcp configured correctly un_operateur
[06:42] <un_operateur> eob84, firstly make sure that the phpmyadmin script is executable
[06:42] <Some_Person> i'm thinking based on forum posts its a conflicting module
[06:42] <steven_> hey room
[06:42] <PrimeHex> hey steven_
[06:42] <steven_> do you all know somtrhing about vmware
[06:42] <LameBMX> Some_Person: its not pppoe ..
[06:42] <un_operateur> LameBMX, ??
[06:43] <dthacker> PrimeHex: my fiber cable mojo stick is stuck in a Denver snowdrift.  Try in 2 weeks.
[06:43] <eob84> un_operateur, don't ask me why... didn't change a thing... or even restart... but it just started working
[06:43] <linux_user400354> !pastebin
[06:43] <Some_Person> i gave up on pppoe long ago
[06:43] <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 (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[06:43] <LameBMX> un_operateur: i helped him reset hit modem from ppp
[06:43] <Some_Person> i'm trying to get dhclient to make it work
[06:43] <n2diy> un_operateur:  Some_Person, what does ifconfig show?
[06:43] <Gun_Smoke> un_operateur:  Openbox.. sudo apt-get install openbox-desktop?
[06:43] <Some_Person> it has no ip
[06:43] <dthacker> eob84: phpmyadmin works?
[06:43] <LameBMX> to more proper it handling the pppoe auth and lan side dhcp
[06:43] <un_operateur> err, why is everyone talking to me?? :)
[06:43] <LameBMX> lol
[06:43] <LameBMX> im out of ideas
[06:43] <steven_> Hey room do one of you know somthing about vmware
[06:44] <eob84> dthacker, yea it just started working
[06:44] <n2diy> un_operateur: your the man!
[06:44] <LameBMX> except his nvidia nic is funky
[06:44] <mister_roboto> Gun_Smoke: it's just called "openbox"   you can "apt-cache search <term>"
[06:44] <eob84> dthacker, didn't do anything to it
[06:44] <n2diy> un_operateur:  :)
[06:44] <eob84> dthacker, I've just been googling for a while
[06:44] <un_operateur> n2diy, not all the time unfortunately :)
[06:44] <mister_roboto> Gun_Smoke: or "apt-cache search --names-only <term>"
[06:44] <thed00d> steven_: yeah vmware
[06:44] <eob84> dthacker, no I feel foolish lol, well thanx for trying to help me out
[06:44] <steven_> what is it about the
[06:44] <Some_Person> i dont have an ifconfig output
[06:45] <Some_Person> with me
[06:45] <un_operateur> eob84, do this please , at a terminal  -- ls -l `which phpmyadmin`
[06:45] <steven_> i am not down to earth about it
[06:45] <LameBMX> okay ... well my sound issues has escelated ... i tried to install the drivers for my sound off the realtek site .... now i cant login and get a libasound.so missing error
[06:45] <dthacker> eob84:  good.  all's well that ends well.  Do a little poking in your apache config.  You'll have an easier time on the next install.
[06:45] <n2diy> Some_Person:  try "sudo ifconfig"
[06:45] <LameBMX> n2diy: he is in windows
[06:45] <Compaq_Propietar> hi
[06:46] <LameBMX> Some_Person: you cant get online with the livecd correct?
[06:46] <Some_Person> i'm in windows
[06:46] <thed00d> steven_: your solution is to install vmware tools I think
[06:46] <n2diy> LameBMX: ok, seems he is in the wrong channel then?
[06:46] <Some_Person> correct, except in virtual pc for obvious reasons
[06:46] <steven_> only think i have is vmware player
[06:46] <eob84> un_operateur, I located it, var/www/
[06:46] <steven_> there more to it
[06:46] <un_operateur> LameBMX, n2diy, Some_Person -- is the router/modem/device a PPPoE device ?
[06:46] <LameBMX> n2diy: windows to get help for his dapper install ? does that make it the wrong chan
[06:46] <Gun_Smoke> mister_roboto:  I am getting invalid operation openbox
[06:46] <Some_Person> i dont think so
[06:46] <eob84> un_operateur, it randomly started working
[06:46] <thed00d> steven_: you should get server.  it's easier to config
[06:46] <un_operateur> eob84, can you post that line here please .. thanks
[06:46] <Compaq_Propietar> someoone cann tell if here in ''chatzilla'' are some chanel on spanish?
[06:46] <LameBMX> yes un_operateur ... but the lan side of the device is not
[06:46] <un_operateur> eob84, ohh nice :)
[06:47] <mister_roboto> Gun_Smoke: are you choosing that as your session type from the login? or doing a console login and then running openbox?
[06:47] <un_operateur> LameBMX, so, it's not a modem then, its a router?
[06:47] <LameBMX> Some_Person: have u ever setup pppoe on windows ...
[06:47] <Some_Person> no
[06:47] <steven_> so do to my package manger and type sever
[06:47] <n2diy> LameBMX: If Dapper was installed, why aren't we playing with ifconfig?
[06:47] <LameBMX> its a modem/single device router
[06:47] <Gun_Smoke> mister_roboto:  Looking to install.
[06:47] <steven_> server
[06:47] <foo> I am going to install windows xp right now on a partition on this system.. and I think it's going to erase grub in the MBR.. how do I repair it if it does that?
[06:47] <LameBMX> n2diy: because he has no net on the dapper install
[06:47] <thed00d> steven_: no I think you have to download it from the vmware web site.  but it's worth it
[06:47] <Some_Person> i just plugged it in, entered user/pass in http://192.168.0.1, and it worked
[06:47] <LameBMX> hence why he is in here
[06:47] <mister_roboto> Gun_Smoke: lol   oh  well you must have syntax problem   "sudo apt-get install openbox"
[06:47] <linux_user400354> My friend need help with a irc problem. He is not able to login to irc. He is using xchat in Ubuntu. http://sial.org/pbot/22014
[06:47] <steven_> ok
[06:47] <un_operateur> LameBMX, what i mean is -- does the "device" get an IP address?? or does the computer get an ip address?
[06:47] <steven_> brb
[06:48] <Some_Person> my isp seems to hate linux
[06:48] <un_operateur> LameBMX, never mind, he just said it was a router :)
[06:48] <Gun_Smoke> mister_roboto:  lol thats what I was asking.. lol
[06:48] <tonyyarusso> Some_Person: so switch
[06:48] <steven_> the my yahoo name is kroger_118 if you want hit me up
[06:48] <LameBMX> both .. device gets public ip addy .. is susposed to give computer local ip addy
[06:48] <n2diy> LameBMX: ok, what are we trying to do, a network install?
[06:48] <Some_Person> no
[06:48] <Some_Person> its the cheapest dsl in my area
[06:48] <Compaq_Propietar> :9
[06:48] <Compaq_Propietar> :)
[06:48] <LameBMX> last time i saw his windows got 192.168.0.64 or something from the modem
[06:48] <Compaq_Propietar> :):(
[06:48] <Compaq_Propietar> :)
[06:48] <Compaq_Propietar> :(
[06:48] <Compaq_Propietar> >:(
[06:48] <un_operateur> Some_Person, you shouldnt need to be configuring pppoeconf on linux because your should just be getting a DHCP lease from the router
[06:48] <Compaq_Propietar> :D
[06:48] <LameBMX> Some_Person: its not the dsl ..
[06:48] <Compaq_Propietar> xD
[06:48] <Compaq_Propietar> :o

[06:49] <LameBMX> like i said ive configed those modems many ways ...
[06:49] <dthacker> Compaq_Propietar: knock it off, please
[06:49] <Compaq_Propietar> :)
[06:49] <Some_Person> i get No DHCPOFFERS received
[06:49] <Darius[TEA] > Some_Person: then you probably don't have a DHCP server on your networjk
[06:49] <LameBMX> Some_Person: check up on drivers for your lan device
[06:49] <Some_Person> whats a lan device? my modem/router?
[06:49] <Some_Person> or my ethernet card?
[06:50] <LameBMX> i think he is talking about the lan side of the router
[06:50] <Darius[TEA] > Some_Person: ethernet card
[06:50] <un_operateur> Some_Person, your router might not be a DHCP server (or DHCP serving was disabled on it) ..
[06:50] <LameBMX> un_operateur: its not
[06:50] <un_operateur> Some_Person, you on windows now, right?
[06:50] <LameBMX> dhcp is up and working .. because he is here right now
[06:50] <Some_Person> yes
[06:50] <un_operateur> Some_Person, can you pastebin the output of your  ipconfig /all command?
[06:50] <vishxxx> hi, can any1 help me with laptop support?
[06:50] <LameBMX> Some_Person: you are using ur dsl in windows right
[06:50] <Some_Person> sure
[06:50] <Darius[TEA] > LameBMX: unless it's just a fixed IP..
[06:51] <Some_Person> correct
[06:51] <LameBMX> Darius[TEA] :  its not .. i walked him through setting it up a while ago
[06:51] <un_operateur> LameBMX, its entirely possible he is here because of a fixed IP address
[06:51] <Darius[TEA] > LameBMX: oh right :)

[06:52] <alienseer23> does anybody know about alsa issues with edgy???
[06:52] <LameBMX> hmmm Some_Person .. i bet that subnet mask on the modem may have something to do with it
[06:52] <Madpilot> vishxxx, kill the np script, please
[06:52] <dthacker> alienseer23: please ask a question
[06:52] <vishxxx> k my remotez off
[06:52] <LameBMX> alienseer23: im in the same boat as you
[06:53] <Some_Person> how?
[06:53] <LameBMX> Some_Person: pm
[06:53] <alienseer23> sound is very low with all of my media, and Very scratchy
[06:53] <vishxxx> does ubuntu 6.1 offer full support for asus a6km laptops?
[06:54] <un_operateur> LameBMX, it's an alright subnet mask tho -- quite oddly configures for class C but entirely correct
[06:54] <alienseer23> LameBMX: well, it's good to hear it's not just me
[06:54] <Madpilot> vishxxx, most laptops work OK - and if I see that np script again, I will remove you from the channel...
[06:54] <un_operateur> configured*
[06:54] <vishxxx> turned it off now :)
[06:55] <vishxxx> i mean i ve ssen forums abt the webcam not workin... is the driver out yet?
[06:55] <alienseer23> I have tried everything, when I turn up the volume levels, I lose bass and the treble is just messy
[06:55] <un_operateur> Some_Person, are you willing to boot up ubuntu to try this out again?
[06:55] <flyinghippo> Strange... terminal isn't recognizing the lower-case "d" character.  CTRL+D, and everything else work.
[06:55] <Catachan> Do I need to go some where else if I am a Newb?
[06:55] <Catachan> or am I in the right place
[06:55] <Catachan> ?
[06:55] <alienseer23> I am using a creative labs soundblaster live 24 bit, on a gigabyte GA-7VM400M motherboard
[06:55] <jbroome> Catachan: ask your question
[06:55] <Madpilot> Catachan, no, just ask a question
[06:55] <n2diy> Catachan: hang out.
[06:56] <goofey> Catachan: in the right place.  :)
[06:56] <Catachan> okay,
[06:56] <Catachan> cool
[06:56] <un_operateur> flyinghippo, how are you testing out CTRL+D?
[06:56] <LameBMX> un_operateur: i agree about the subnet
[06:56] <spacepod> hello all
[06:56] <alienseer23> does anyone have a suggestion how to fix my sound?
[06:56] <dmc_> How does one go about creating a script?
[06:56] <flyinghippo> I just have the terminal how it is when I open it, un_operateur.
[06:56] <dmc_> I need to create a script for this Broadcom Wireless Driver
[06:57] <Catachan> I have down loaded the drivers from Intel for my graphics card, but I do not know how to install them, they are currently pakaged in a .tar.gz archive, and I am able to open that with the archive manager,
[06:57] <spacepod> i have a few questions on webmin and pptpd if anyone has a moment to spare
[06:57] <un_operateur> flyinghippo, ok, so how did you come to conclude CTRL+D was borked or unrecognized
[06:57] <un_operateur> ?
[06:57] <dmc_> I have what i need to place in the script, just need to know how to create one
[06:57] <Gun_Smoke> un_operateur:  wow openbox.. is really well small. lol
[06:57] <un_operateur> Gun_Smoke, :)
[06:57] <mister_roboto> dmc_: first one usually starts by reading up on the scripting language one wants to use :)     then one opens a text editor and types away
[06:57] <Catachan> however I do not know how to run the install aplication, or how to compile them
[06:57] <flyinghippo> un_operateur, cTRL+D works.  It's the lower-case "d" character that won't enter.
[06:57] <n2diy> dmc, create a text file, and you have a script, but, you need the header stuff, take a look at your .bashrc to see the header info, it is the top three lines.
[06:57] <Madpilot> ! webmin
[06:57] <ubotu> webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. Please avoid using it.
[06:57] <Gun_Smoke> might be the only reason/case to stick with god.. I can't even say it.. stick with 98
[06:58] <spacepod> really
[06:58] <mister_roboto> Gun_Smoke: yes, it's very fast too. great window manager for that low mem box
[06:58] <goofey> dmc_: i use nano - open a terminal - cd to the directory you want the script to be, and type sudo nano
[06:58] <steven_> i dont unstand it
[06:58] <spacepod> any other web based admin tools?
[06:58] <Madpilot> Catachan, you probably don't need to download anything from Intel's website, but I'm not up to speed on Intel graphics chips
[06:58] <dthacker> alienseer23: what is your audio chipset?
[06:58] <Gun_Smoke> Well I guess I'll have to sleep on it.
[06:59] <goofey> Gun_Smoke: try flux before you go back to win98
[06:59] <alienseer23> dthacker: on my motherboard or my soundcard? soundcard is sb live 24bit
[06:59] <dmc_> mister _roboto: i did create the file in a text editor but when i type sudo ./"file" it says "./file: command not found"
[06:59] <un_operateur> flyinghippo, you dont happen to be using a non-english keyboard, do you? or perhaps use a different locale?
[06:59] <Gun_Smoke> goofey:  flux?
[06:59] <Catachan> at the moment the cards are recognized, but they aren't seen as processors and Video cards in the device manager
[06:59] <goofey> Gun_Smoke: fluxbox'
[06:59] <dthacker> alienseer23: are they both active?
[06:59] <Gun_Smoke> oh
[06:59] <goofey> dmc_: are you in the same dir as the file?
[06:59] <alienseer23> Ijust switche3d the motherboard on, was going to try using it
[06:59] <un_operateur> dmc_, you'll need to make the script executable by all -- chmod a+x ./file; sudo ./file
[06:59] <alienseer23> but thought I would stop in here
[06:59] <flyinghippo> un_operateur, last I checked, I was using a US keyboard.  Also, lower-case "d" works in everything else but Terminal.
[07:00] <blocke> Hmm... does anyone know where the heck the Firefox  2.0.0.1 security release is for edgy?  dapper and feisty were updated by no edgy
[07:00] <n2diy> dmc, create a text file, and you have a script, but, you need the header stuff, take a look at your .bashrc to see the header info, it is the top three lines.
[07:00] <borg> anyone ever successfuly recorded from a Hauppauge WinTV with a CX88 v4l driver before?
[07:00] <mister_roboto> Gun_Smoke: did you try xubuntu? just curious how it ran
[07:00] <zigot> hello everybody
[07:00] <un_operateur> flyinghippo, the terminal is usually non-unicode/extended-ASCII complaint -- what is the output of - echo $LANG
[07:00] <dthacker> alienseer23: If that doesn't help, please file a bug.    I just did a quick scan of Launchpad, and I see specific chipsets with problems, but no generic "bad quality" complaints
[07:01] <interfear> 6.06 worked fine, but 6.10 's initial boot screen looks messed up, even if i do a text install which is what im forced to do, the initial ubuntu screen is only grey and contorted
[07:01] <alienseer23> dthacker: where is launchpad?
[07:01] <interfear> what could that be
[07:01] <zigot> how are you all doing
[07:01] <alienseer23> I want to see if my card is listed
[07:01] <flyinghippo> un_operateur: en_US.UTF.8
[07:01] <Catachan> hmm
[07:01] <blocke> is there a way to view security related bugs in launchpad for a specific distribution?
[07:01] <alienseer23> !launchpad
[07:01] <ubotu> launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's Bounty and Bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/
[07:02] <zigot> I have a serious problem ... shall I just go ahead with it here?
[07:02] <mister_roboto> zigot: just ask
[07:02] <goofey> zigot: fire away
[07:02] <hagabaka> if i maintain my own repository, can i put the packages in its "main" section?
[07:02] <Pie-rate> beryl's default config sucks and its a pain in the ass to configure
[07:02] <grte> Hey, does anybody here have op in #ubuntu-offtopic?
[07:02] <dthacker> alienseer23: https://bugs.launchpad.net/
[07:02] <Madpilot> grte, a number of people
[07:02] <hagabaka> or would that suggest that they are official supported packages?
[07:02] <un_operateur> flyinghippo, hmm, nothing wrong there -- are you sure your keyboard's control keys -- i.e. SHIFT, CTRL, ALT etc are not stuck -- they might be causing D to be interpreted different
[07:02] <grte> Madpilot: I acidentally got myself banned.
[07:02] <Red-Sox> When I click on the icon in my system tray I go to Select Window Manager > Beryl  then it just goes back to gnome after the window borders go away then come back
[07:03] <un_operateur> hagabaka, sure
[07:03] <grte> I was trying to ping someone, but I hit enter to early, and only got /pi in.
[07:03] <grte> Apparently, in irssi, this causes you to ping everybody.
[07:03] <hagabaka> oh
[07:03] <grte> It was an accident, though, any chance I could get an unban?
[07:03] <un_operateur> hagabaka, but your repository has to be structured in such a way that APT understands it
[07:03] <Madpilot> grte, I noticed. Pinging the whole channel = not the brightest thing to do
[07:03] <Gun_Smoke> I sort of like this flux...
[07:03] <Gun_Smoke> Fast too.
[07:04] <un_operateur> Gun_Smoke, its what i use ..
[07:04] <hagabaka> yeah, i'm following guides on how to do it
[07:04] <goofey> Gun_Smoke: sweet
[07:04] <un_operateur> hagabaka, you're on the right track
[07:05] <un_operateur> hagabaka, you might like to check out apt-cacher and apt-proxy too (which are pretty lousy at times) but you can get an idea from how they work
[07:05] <zigot> thanks.... my installation of Ubuntu wont boot...I'll try to give you as much info as I have... first of all I'll say it boots just fine in the recovery mode, but when I boot it in normal mode it gets stuck at the preloading bar (at arround 25%) ... these are the changes I made since the last time it ran: 1) I've installed a new HDD 2) I removed the PCI-E video card that I wasn't even using at all (I was using the internal)
[07:05] <zigot>  .... any ideas?
[07:05] <goofey> zigot: was this a new install of ubuntu?
[07:05] <bill57785> how do I install the JRE?
[07:06] <un_operateur> zigot, it's probably the change in video-card -- xorg might still be using the old drivers
[07:06] <tonyyarusso> !java | bill57785
[07:06] <ubotu> bill57785: 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
[07:06] <joe_> anyone an expert on partitioning for dual boot
[07:06] <bill57785> I downloaded it from the website, but all I have is a .bin file
[07:06] <un_operateur> bill57785, all you have to do is run it -- chmod a+x ./file.bin; sudo ./file.bin
[07:06] <n2diy> joe, yes Ubuntu will do i for you.
[07:06] <mister_roboto> bill57785: the package is sun-java5-jre
[07:06] <n2diy> joe, yes Ubuntu will do it for you.
[07:06] <zigot> I've installed this intallation a few weeks ago.... and as I've said, I've never used the PCI-E card.... it was just sitting there
[07:07] <zigot> what can I do? how do I approach this?
[07:07] <Darius[TEA] > anyone know where I would be able to find a dmraid 1.0.0rc13 package? rc9 doesn't appear to understand jmicron raid :(
[07:07] <mister_roboto> zigot: have you looked at /var/log/messages to see what kind of errors show up there?
[07:07] <goofey> mister_roboto: good suggestion
[07:07] <SubMOA> how would you take something that doesn't have a shortcut and give it one?
[07:08] <SubMOA> something you could only run from command line
[07:08] <mister_roboto> goofey: i've found that checking the logs is usually a good first step :)
[07:08] <goofey> mister_roboto: :)
[07:08] <un_operateur> SubMOA, what do you mean?
[07:08] <goofey> SubMOA: what desktop?  gnome, kde, ?
[07:08] <grte> But yeah, irssi has a couple crazy defaults.
[07:08] <joe_> n2diy, what do you mean?
[07:08] <PrimeHex> grte: which ones do you m ean?
[07:08] <zigot> mister_roboto no.... I haven't done anything yet, since my inexpirience didn't allow me to :|
[07:08] <SubMOA> gnome
[07:08] <SubMOA> it is for kiba
[07:08] <grte> The command /pi should not ping everybody in a channel, that seems like a bit of a bad thing if you hit the enter key early by accident.
[07:09] <mister_roboto> zigot: well you can look at it after you get to a console login
[07:09] <zigot> ok... I'll do that right now
[07:09] <goofey> SubMOA: i use kde, but what happens when you right click on tfhe desktop - is there an option  for create shortcut?
[07:09] <PrimeHex> grte: lol, i feel like trying it just because
[07:09] <n2diy> joe, Ubuntu will see your exsisting partitons, and partition your drive to ues the free space.
[07:09] <zigot> brb
[07:09] <joe_> I need an extended partition w fat32 to share w windows
[07:09] <grte> ...
[07:09] <grte> Warned him...
[07:09] <un_operateur> SubMOA, by shortcut i suppose you mean, menu shortcut?
[07:09] <dthacker> not the red button!
[07:09] <Catachan> what is a *.tar.gz? I mean what sort of archive?
[07:10] <Music_Shuffle> A tarball?
[07:10] <SubMOA> goofey, perhaps I got ahead of myself.  Uno Momento, pour favor
[07:10] <johoja> anyone here?
[07:10] <dthacker> Catachan: that is a gzipped tar file
[07:10] <seamus7_> Hi I'm on Edgy trying to get the fglrx 8.28.8 driver working .... can someone look at my xorg.conf file at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39120/
[07:10] <goofey> Catachan: a compressed tar file - use tar xvzf to uncompress/untar at the same time
[07:10] <un_operateur> Catachan, it's a application/x-tar file
[07:10] <goofey> SubMOA: no worries
[07:10] <Music_Shuffle> johoja, absolutely not
[07:10] <johoja> Music_Shuffle:  :)
[07:10] <pianoboy3333> Can I have some help with ffmpeg? I'm trying to encode a vob file to an avi, and start 10 min 13 seconds into the vob file
[07:10] <Catachan> okay
[07:11] <johoja> i've got a quick question, when i try playing a 1080p file in mplayer, it skips out a and evenutually crashes syaing to many frames in teh buffer.
[07:11] <Darius[TEA] > seamus7_: the log file would be more useful
[07:11] <Darius[TEA] > seamus7_: as well as a description of what you see
[07:11] <johoja> any suggestions?
[07:11] <Darius[TEA] > johoja: 1080p isn't a file format, do you mean a Qt file?
[07:11] <joe_> n2di ,  how do I set up an extended partition that I can put /home and fat32 for use by xp and ubuntu
[07:11] <johoja> Darius[TEA] :  its a *.ts file.
[07:12] <goofey> SubMOA: you might also try creating a symlink in ~/Desktop to the script....
[07:12] <SubMOA> great, i counted my hens... what does "kiba-dock.c:463: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type" mean?
[07:12] <seamus7_> Darius[TEA] : my laptop freezes once I hit login ... i hear the music
[07:12] <emun> my observation, after having to reinstall ubuntu on top of itself i realised any os subsequently overwrites the grub and puts its own stuff there, i couuld not get into rescue mode in the previous installation. is there a way to solve this issue. i have  ubuntu in 1st partition and suse in the 2nd partition
[07:12] <Catachan> okay, so what about installing from that .tar.gz?
[07:12] <johoja> Darius[TEA] : its h264, with ac3 sound.
[07:12] <Darius[TEA] > johoja: quite probably mplayer doesn't support that format properly yet
[07:12] <mojojojo___> hi! is it common that I don't has ALSA after upgrading to Edgy??
[07:12] <D0wN> what's the name of the GUI version of Ndiswrapper
[07:12] <Gun_Smoke> I'm really liking flux.. It made my main box a super star.
[07:12] <dthacker> Catachan: what are you trying to install?
[07:12] <johoja> Darius[TEA] : any idea what does ?
[07:12] <un_operateur> Catachan, a .tar.gz archive probably contains source code not installable binaries
[07:12] <mitrovarr> I had a ubuntu install rendered useless after some hardware upgrades.  I think it's the nvidia 8800 card that's the issue.  Anyone know how to boot the system so it doesn't hang during boot?
[07:12] <Darius[TEA] > seamus7_: does switching to the text console work?
[07:12] <Darius[TEA] > johoja: no :(
[07:13] <Catachan> so I have to compile it
[07:13] <Catachan> okay
[07:13] <goofey> Gun_Smoke: :)
[07:13] <un_operateur> Catachan, probably, you'll know if you read the README/INSTALL files in the archive
[07:13] <seamus7_> Darius[TEA] : um I'm not sure how to switch to text console
[07:13] <foo> I have a lamp install of ubuntu 6.06 ... and I want to upgrade PHP from 5.1.2 to 5.2 (latest stable) - is there a deb or backport somewhere?
[07:13] <SubMOA> ...??
[07:13] <seamus7_> Darius[TEA] : do you mean recovery mode
[07:13] <grte> seamus7_: ctrl+alt+f1-f6
[07:14] <Gun_Smoke> goofey:  I can't seem to find a file manager thought.. What do you use?  Just CLI?
[07:14] <borg> anyone ever successfuly recorded from a Hauppauge WinTV with a CX88 v4l driver before?
[07:14] <un_operateur> dthacker, ha, sometimes I take the most unweildly and winding roads to get to somewhere too :)
[07:14] <grte> ctrl+alt+f7 to get back to the gui.
[07:14] <emfb> Hello all, Can someone help me with a quick question? How do I add a PATH environment variable?
[07:14] <johoja> Darius[TEA] : nothign seems to play it :(
[07:14] <goofey> foo: what does sudo apt-get -s php return?
[07:14] <dthacker> borg: try it and see!
[07:14] <emun> recovery mode or single user mode
[07:15] <borg> dthacker, i have and it doesnt work
[07:15] <goofey> Gun_Smoke: that's all i use - there mightg be one for flux but I don't know what it is
[07:15] <foo> goofey: E: Invalid operation php
[07:16] <mitrovarr> Does anyone know how to start up a system that hangs during boot?  I think it's due to installing a nvidia 8800.
[07:16] <goofey> Gun_Smoke: there is a #fluxbox channel - they would know
[07:16] <goofey> foo: ones ec
[07:16] <un_operateur> goofey, he left
[07:16] <dthacker> borg: in that case I think you should check the forums and wikis
[07:16] <fiziks> join irc.freenode.net /join #ubuntu
[07:16] <RxDx> i downloaded and installed Looking Glass.. how can i run it?
[07:16] <Darius[TEA] > johoja: try building the latest mplayer or xine from source? :)
[07:16] <goofey> un_operateur: bummer
[07:16] <un_operateur> goofey, was he looking for a file manager for fluxbox?
[07:16] <goofey> foo: one sec
[07:16] <Darius[TEA] > mitrovarr: try a text install
[07:16] <goofey> un_operateur: he was
[07:16] <emun> is it possible these os:s to leave the previous grub alone
[07:16] <foo> goofey: I don't have 5.2 in my repository .. if that's what you're thinking, hmm
[07:16] <borg> dthacker, i've checked the forums nothing, wikis, nothing
[07:16] <LameBMX> why dont list work here
[07:16] <johoja> Darius[TEA] : :( i dont like u heheh.
[07:16] <LameBMX> is there a #sound channel
[07:16] <mitrovarr> Darius[TEA] :  I will if I have to, but I'd rather try to recover the system that's on there right now than do another install.
[07:17] <LameBMX> cuz im back on the live cd thanks to that
[07:17] <goofey> foo: have they not added 5.2 yet?
[07:17] <mitrovarr> Darius[TEA] :  If I could just get it to boot at all I think I could get proper drivers installed
[07:17] <foo> goofey: nope, not that I see
[07:17] <un_operateur> goofey, they have, only to the fesity repositories tho
[07:17] <dthacker> borg: that is frustrating.  I'd go ahead and post in the forums with your symptoms.
[07:17] <grte> Anybody here have op to #ubuntu-offtopic and willing to listen to my tale of woe?
[07:17] <goofey> well, you could compile from source - but i don't know what that does to apt.....
[07:18] <Darius[TEA] > mitrovarr: hmm sorry I don't know how to stop ubuntu booting into X.. I am normally a freebsd person
[07:18] <LameBMX> what is the edgy equivilant to base-config
[07:18] <borg> dthacker, ok, send me your blessings for there to be someone who can help
[07:18] <D0wN> What is the name of the ndiswrapper with a GUI
[07:18] <goofey> un_operateur: can he had a package from feisty without adding everything from feisty?
[07:18] <dthacker> borg: done.  Good luck.
[07:18] <un_operateur> foo, goofey, you could also download the feisty packages (not advisable tho) and save the compilation
[07:18] <Gun_Smoke> goofey:  Well I got natulis to launch, but couldn't seem to find my way back.. restarted x
[07:18] <foo> un_operateur: hm, if I do it on a test server.. can I roll it into production?
[07:18] <goofey> Gun_Smoke: i think un_operateur knows of a good file manager for flux
[07:18] <mitrovarr> Darius[TEA] :  It's ok, I think I'm just going to reinstall.  All I had on there was a broken half-install of xgl and compiz.
[07:18] <foo> un_operateur: I mean, if it works fine in test
[07:19] <un_operateur> goofey, ohh yes, because each distro has it's own package list .. and Edgy's one currently doesnt include some new packages
[07:19] <Gun_Smoke> un_operateur:  ideas? dapper
[07:19] <un_operateur> foo, if you are running a production server, you must not be wanting to run 5.2 immediately :)
[07:19] <goofey> un_operateur: can you explain to foo how to add a package from feisty w/o upgarding his whole box to feisty?
[07:19] <foo> un_operateur: eh, we need it for some progress upload bar .. it's going to help us out a lot with code.
[07:19] <un_operateur> foo, it's your litmus test, if it works for you, it works -- but it might not either
[07:20] <un_operateur> Gun_Smoke, what was that sorrt?
[07:20] <un_operateur> sorry*
[07:20] <Gun_Smoke> un_operateur:  File manager for flux
[07:20] <un_operateur> Gun_Smoke, ahh, it's called rox
[07:21] <SubMOA> I have a kiba problem... it seems there is something about a clock missing and tons of these: "kiba-dock.c:441: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type"
[07:21] <Gun_Smoke> un_operateur:  is that I package I need to install or did it come with it and I just over looked it?
[07:21] <goofey> Gun_Smoke: you could try "rox" in the terminal
[07:21] <un_operateur> goofey, foo, installing fesity packages on edgy is not to be taken lightly as they are inclined to pull in a massive amount of other fesity packages too .. but you can force-install and avoid the depnds (which makes it less-stable)
[07:21] <mitrovarr> I have to say, Ubuntu truly hates this new system I built.  It won't see the one of the IDE controllers (not the main ones, though) and it won't boot to a liveCD
[07:22] <Gun_Smoke> Alright.. brb.. going to switch over..
[07:22] <zigot> I'm back... now I cant start the console either....it reads: "ath0: no IPv6 routers present"
[07:22] <goofey> un_operateur: good point
[07:22] <un_operateur> Gun_Smoke, fluxbox is just the WM .. everything else you must install yourself, and rox needs to be installed
[07:23] <missing> i was wondering how to do u mv the results of grep? would it be like "mv $(grep 8.31) early"?
[07:23] <un_operateur> zigot, were you trying to run IPv6?
[07:23] <zigot> un_operateur no, I can't say that I have
[07:23] <un_operateur> missing, perhaps this -- for i in `grep ....`; do mv $i blah; done
[07:23] <missing> i mean "mv $(grep 8.31) early/
[07:24] <dthacker> missing: grep "what I want" myfile > resultsfile
[07:24] <missing> right thanks guys that simple
[07:24] <Gun_Smoke> goofey: didn't get anything in term for rox
[07:24] <un_operateur> zigot, is that warning fatal, or just informative?
[07:24] <goofey> Gun_Smoke: ok - un_operateur says it needs to be installed
[07:24] <Acain> hello ladies / gents - need help to boot from cd and let it access another partition (the cd) can anyone pm - please?
[07:25] <un_operateur> Gun_Smoke,  sudo aptitude install rox -- ought to bring it in
[07:25] <zigot> un_operateur it is fatal
[07:25] <Gun_Smoke> I tried apt-get install rox    couldn't find package
[07:25] <mojojojo___> what might be the reason for OSS to work and ALSA not???
[07:25] <Gun_Smoke> try again
[07:25] <missing> hacker: no i mean a diretory list
[07:25] <mojojojo___> I upgraded to Edgy and it's not failing
[07:25] <mojojojo___> It's failing*
[07:26] <zigot> am I doing something wrong by trying to enter the recovery mode at the first place?
[07:26] <flyinghippo> Well, now that I'm banned from using Linux, I may as well go now.
[07:26] <un_operateur> Gun_Smoke, you probably need to enable all the edgy repos
[07:26] <terrysco> hello
[07:26] <pianoboy3333> Can I have some help with ffmpeg? I'm trying to encode a vob file to an avi, and start 10 min 13 seconds into the vob file
[07:26] <Gun_Smoke> un_operateur:  I'm on daper
[07:26] <un_operateur> zigot, is that where you get the message?
[07:26] <Flannel> un_operateur: what's he getting? "rox" isn't a package, although there's some other similar ones
[07:26] <goofey> un_operateur: Gun_Smoke i think it's rox-filer
[07:27] <zigot> un_operateur yes
[07:27] <un_operateur> Gun_Smoke, dapper packages then :) and what goofey says :)
[07:27] <Gun_Smoke> got it.
[07:27] <joe_> anyone have good partitioning strategy for xp ubuntu duel boot?
[07:28] <interfear> remove the windows partition?
[07:28] <goofey> pianoboy3333: not sure that's a ubuntu-specific question....  is there a another channel on this server that might help more?
[07:28] <un_operateur> zigot, errm, that probably explains it's fatality
[07:28] <SubMOA>  I have a problem with the kiba-dock... it seems there is something about a clock missing and tons of these: "kiba-dock.c:441: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type"
[07:28] <Catachan> does any one know what the *.sh files are?
[07:28] <pianoboy3333> goofey: yea...
[07:28] <alienseer23> dthacker: still there?
[07:28] <pianoboy3333> like... offtopic :)
[07:28] <linux_user400354> i have a timer if anyone wants it
[07:28] <goofey> pianoboy3333: good luck!
[07:28] <alienseer23> shit
[07:28] <un_operateur> Catachan, they're shell scripts
[07:28] <linux_user400354> for x in `seq 25`;do echo $x;sleep 2;done
[07:29] <Catachan> okay
[07:29] <missing> has anybody gotten the akamaru dock working right in ubuntu?
[07:29] <Flannel> SubMOA: kiba-dock isn't part of ubuntu, you'll need to ask the kiba people
[07:29] <un_operateur> linux_user400354, how about just -- sleep x ?? :)
[07:30] <alienseer23> ok, if anybody is paying attention...I got my sound to stop being quiet & scratchy, I switched to onboard sound rather than my soundcard, but I still have no left chanel...any suggestions???
[07:30] <alienseer23> oh, when I switched back to the soundcard, still no left chanell
[07:30] <seamus7_>  I am trying to get fglrx 8.28.8 working on Edgy with Radeon Mobile X1300 ... my xorg.0.log, dmesg and xorg.conf file is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39122/    can anyone help?
[07:30] <alienseer23> but no scratchy and loud sound
[07:30] <Geoffrey2> can an ext3 partition be shrunk to provide free space for another partition?
[07:30] <un_operateur> perl -le 'do {print, sleep 2} for 0..25'
[07:31] <goofey> alienseer23: sorry to ask this - is the lest speaker working?
[07:31] <n2diy> alienseer23: Sounds like you may have a bad cable to your speakers?
[07:31] <SubMOA> flannel, rgr, I just saw it on the Ubuntu forums (for the edgy release) and figured somone here might have had the same problem
[07:31] <Catachan> the shell script reads the following, which for some reason, returns incorrectly: if [ ! -e "pkginfo" ] ; then
[07:31] <Catachan> 	errmsg "Could not locate 'pkginfo' file. Aborting."
[07:31] <Catachan> 	exit 127
[07:31] <SubMOA> my bad
[07:31] <alienseer23> goofy, yes, I tried different wires
[07:31] <joe_> interfear, any ideas short of deleting windows? I have just ubuntu on my pc.  want to try duel boot on the laptop?
[07:31] <alienseer23> and different speakers
[07:31] <goofey> alienseer23: ok
[07:31] <Gun_Smoke> I think I might even keep flux running on this box.. Everything is real snappy.
[07:31] <Catachan> the pkginfo file is there where it is supposed to be
[07:31] <alienseer23> if you guys give me a moment, I will recheck, just to be sure
[07:31] <neurotech> Does anyone have any experience getting WoW to work under Wine?
[07:31] <Catachan> but it doesn't see it
[07:31] <Catachan> can you help me?
[07:32] <un_operateur> Catachan, please try and use a pastebin to paste code, it's so that the channel doesnt get flooded and formatting/highlighting is kept
[07:32] <alienseer23> ((I split the wire out, so I can isolate either end of the split and plug it in direct))
[07:32] <Catachan> oh, sorry
[07:32] <joe_> how do you make an extended partion w gparted?
[07:32] <un_operateur> Catachan, IIRC pkginfo is something that needs to be installed
[07:32] <Catachan> sure thing, I will do that in the future
[07:32] <Catachan> it is not irc, what is IIRC? I am assuming it is different from IRC

[07:34] <Samus_Aran> how the heck do I get Ubuntu to stop complaining about missing locales ?  I didn't change my locales, but during some upgrade they all stopped working.  every time I do almost anything (run apt-get, man, perl, etc.), it complains about the LC_ALL, LANG and/or LANGUAGE settings being wrong.  I have tried all combinations of UTF-8, en.UTF-8 and C, but it has zero effect on these messages
[07:34] <foo> un_operateur: hm, where can I get the fiesta sources from?
[07:34] <Samus_Aran> do I have to apt-get install some locale ?
[07:34] <seamus7_>  I am trying to get fglrx 8.28.8 working on Edgy with Radeon Mobile X1300 ... my xorg.0.log, dmesg and xorg.conf file is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39122/    can anyone help?
[07:34] <Samus_Aran> locales is already the newest version.
[07:34] <un_operateur> foo, errm -- from http://archives.ubuntu.com/ubuntu -- browse for them under /pool -- but foo, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, eh? :)
[07:35] <Catachan> the pkginfo is a text file
[07:35] <Catachan> it is called by the driver install script
[07:35] <un_operateur> Catachan, you probably aren't running the scripts in the same directory
[07:36] <un_operateur> Catachan, you sure you read the INSTALL file?
[07:36] <Catachan> eh? they are inside of the same folders
[07:36] <goofey> Catachan: did you move anything after untaring the package the .tar.gz?
[07:36] <Gun_Smoke> Okay.. Got an error trying to access gmail  says this document cannot be displayed unless you install the personal security manager PSM... Never heard of it.
[07:36] <goofey> Gun_Smoke: me neither - what browser?
[07:37] <LameBMX> what is an equivelant to base-config (ubuntu 5.10) for edgy ? ... or a manual way of doing things list?
[07:37] <Gun_Smoke> whatever is with flux... mozilla i think
[07:37] <n2diy> Gun_Smoke: you installed ok?
[07:37] <Gun_Smoke> I guess.
[07:37] <Acain> guys, i have xp installed, then ubuntu 6.10 - everything is fine - i want to boot from a cd into xp - cos i need to reset the admin pass with norton ERD - but erd does not see the xp partition - i figure i must let the grub load first then somehow tell grub to activate the xp part and then load the cd??? any help?
[07:37] <n2diy> Gun_Smoke: you installed ok?
[07:37] <Catachan> nothing was moved after I untared the files, also, I do not see a read me, though I may just be blind
[07:37] <Catachan> lol
[07:38] <LameBMX> acain ... look for change ntpasswd
[07:38] <un_operateur> LameBMX, you talking about the base-config package?
[07:38] <foo> un_operateur: eek.
[07:38] <dmc_> I just edited my /etc/network/interfaces file and am having trouble saving:Could not save the file /etc/network/interfaces.  says i dont have permsisions, any suggestions?
[07:38] <LameBMX> linux boot disk to do tha same thing
[07:38] <un_operateur> foo, eek would be right :)
[07:38] <Gun_Smoke> I didn't get any errors if thats what your asking.. I made it to many other website just fine... trying to go to Gmail.com and i received the error..
[07:38] <LameBMX> un_operateur:  yea i am
[07:38] <goofey> Acain: you don't need grub to do anything for you in this....
[07:38] <un_operateur> dmc_, are you editing as superuser? sudo gedit /etc/.../interfaces
[07:38] <phaedra> dmc_,  You need to do it with the sudo command
[07:38] <zen2> dmc_:  your not admin
[07:39] <zen2> go tto terminal and do this
[07:39] <foo> un_operateur: gah, how else would I get 5.2

[07:39] <un_operateur> LameBMX, Edgy has the same package at version 2.76
[07:39] <dmc_> im using gnome right now and just the default text editor, can i switch will in gnome?
[07:39] <zen2> sudo gedit fine name here
[07:39] <LameBMX> un_operateur: i did a edgy fakeraid install and its fubared
[07:39] <zen2> then copy and save from the other file you allready have open
[07:39] <Gun_Smoke> n2diy: Sorry.  As far as I can tell the install went fine.
[07:39] <un_operateur> foo, you can compile it from source (but that also has implications)
[07:40] <phaedra> dmc_,  Just open a term and sudo gedit /whateverfile...
[07:40] <RaidenCX> can i partition my hdd withouterasing present data on it or do i have to format a premade partition to install ubuntu?
[07:40] <Acain> so u guys can confrim that this is possible, i can somehow boot from erd into xp - no need to take drastic measures
[07:40] <zen2> thats what i said phaedra
[07:40] <dmc_> gThank you all
[07:40] <n2diy> Gun_Smoke: why do you want to set up gmail?
[07:40] <kiori> hello
[07:40] <jbinder> hi
[07:40] <goofey> Acain: the fact that linux os on the box should not effect erd at all
[07:40] <kiori> hi jbinder
[07:40] <RaidenCX>  can i partition my hdd withouterasing present data on it or do i have to format a premade partition to install ubuntu?
[07:40] <Gun_Smoke> n2diy:  But I don't get why I would have received that error.. I've never ran into an error like that with any browser trying to access any type of site.
[07:41] <JBLoudG20> anyone have some experience with ubuntu and a lenovo laptop?
[07:41] <goofey> n2diy: he wants to access gmail from the browser in fluxbox
[07:41] <jbinder> RaidenCX: you can create a new partition and you won't lose anything
[07:41] <Acain> goofey: i need erd to boot into xp - currently erd sees no hdd at all when it boots
[07:41] <jbinder> RaidenCX: get the gparted liveCD
[07:41] <A-L-P-H-A> I have a friend that's trying to install 6.06LTS (alt cd), but couldn't.  We tried the 6.06lts alt cd, the 6.10alt cd, 6.10desktop.  All of them give me a CRC error when trying to install.  tested the ram, and it's fine, the cds are fine as well.  it's an IBM Thinkpad 600e.
[07:41] <RaidenCX> k jbinder thanks a lot
[07:41] <Gun_Smoke> n2diy:  I don't want to set it up.. I did www.gmail.com in the browser window and received the error.
[07:41] <Gun_Smoke> Like it hit a firewall or something..
[07:41] <Flannel> A-L-P-H-A: did you check the md5 of the ISO? and burn at 4x (or slower?)
[07:41] <goofey> Acain: i don't disagree - just saying this has nothing to do with linux (as far as i can tell)
[07:41] <RaidenCX> check the md5
[07:42] <dmc_> If i run a App while in Gnome and it says i do not have Permission, is there a way to give myself permission to use that Gnome App?
[07:42] <un_operateur> Gun_Smoke, not got firefox installed?
[07:42] <n2diy> Gun_Smoke: , goofey, ok I though gmail was an email server?
[07:42] <A-L-P-H-A> Flannel, md5 checks out, I did a verify.  I'll try a 4x burn next time.
[07:42] <kiori> hi
[07:42] <un_operateur> dmc_, you must check into root using the terminal
[07:42] <A-L-P-H-A> Flannel, md5 checks out, I did a verify afterburn.  I'll try a 4x burn next time.
[07:42] <zen2> yeah
[07:42] <goofey> Gun_Smoke: you're going to hate my answer  my guess is the folks on #fluxbox will know...  :)
[07:42] <RaidenCX> alpha: compare md5to original, do a slow burn or get a single-edition dvd
[07:42] <n2diy> Gun_Smoke: so don't go there!?
[07:43] <seamus7_> Hi ... I can't use the open source Radeon drivers .. it doesn't support my X1300.. so I'm trying to get fglrx installed ... it looks like the repositories recently updated fglrx to ATI's latest 8.32.5 ... my system freezes on login .... can any of you experts out there take a look at my Xorg.0.log, dmesg and/or xorg.conf files? they're at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39122/
[07:43] <Gun_Smoke> un_operateur:  yeah its there with the base install of ubuntu right?  I now have a half dozen window servers installed.
[07:43] <nolimitsoya> is there a more lightweight and swift (with flashblock) alternative to firefox/iceweasle?
[07:43] <LameBMX> un_operateur: base-config command not found
[07:43] <goofey> n2diy: lol - gmail is the best web-based email there is.  :)
[07:43] <un_operateur> Gun_Smoke, you can always use firefox then :)
[07:43] <XiXaQ> where do I find the win32 codecs package
[07:43] <XiXaQ> ?
[07:43] <un_operateur> Gun_Smoke, or configure PSM on mozilla
[07:43] <goofey> nolimitsoya: there is a firefox light
[07:43] <n2diy> nolimitsoya: Opera?
[07:43] <matoot> Hello, totally new to this and getting "buffer i/o error on device hdd"  what to type at boot: prompt.  please help
[07:43] <Gun_Smoke> un_operateur: I'll give that a shot.. Firefox that is.. Never heard of PSM's before
[07:43] <RaidenCX> nolimitsoya: ffox is the lightest...and with features
[07:44] <nolimitsoya> goofey, where can i find it?
[07:44] <A-L-P-H-A> RaidenCX, yeah, I did an md5sum on the iso's, and then a verify data after burn.  Only thing is trying it without burning at highspeeds.  Odd that this is messing up.
[07:44] <XiXaQ> !win32codecs
[07:44] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about win32codecs - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:44] <un_operateur> Gun_Smoke, it's a type of user-firewall (as you put it)
[07:44] <goofey> nolimitsoya: one sec
[07:44] <n2diy> goofey: ok, but as a user what do I need it for? Thunderbird works fine for me.
[07:44] <Catachan> okay
[07:44] <Catachan> so yeah
[07:44] <goofey> n2diy: lol - not a web browser - web based email
[07:44] <Catachan> thanks guys
[07:44] <phaedra> XiXaQ,  I believe they are on seveas
[07:44] <goofey> n2diy: it's google mail
[07:45] <LameBMX> seamus7_: line # 1629 in your pastebin should read 1629. 	Driver      "fglxr"
[07:45] <un_operateur> LameBMX, apparently base-config is just a meta-package (on edgy atleast) and can be removed at no ill-effect
[07:45] <un_operateur> !info base-config
[07:45] <ubotu> base-config: Debian base system configurator (transitional version). In component universe, is extra. Version 2.76 (edgy), package size 40 kB, installed size 96 kB
[07:45] <seamus7_> LameBMX: thanks i'll check that
[07:45] <n2diy> goofey:  ok, why would I need it to get my mail, firefox can do that?
[07:45] <LameBMX> un_operateur: i had to do a cmd line install ...
[07:45] <un_operateur> LameBMX, what were you trying to configure?
[07:46] <Gun_Smoke> Well I've fired up firefox.. It didn't have a problem get over to gmail.com..
[07:46] <quagmire> too damn much ocnfigurating
[07:46] <Gun_Smoke> good enough I guess.
[07:46] <RaidenCX> n2diy:anyway you prefer...you can use the site through a browser, or configure thunderbird to do it for you
[07:46] <n2diy> goofey: hell, I bet Nautilus get get webmail?
[07:46] <quagmire> what is the destiny of ubunut ?
[07:46] <quagmire> er
[07:46] <quagmire> tu
[07:46] <goofey> nolimitsoya: hmm, can't find it - but i was sure there was a "light" version of firefox
[07:46] <nolimitsoya> well thank you anyway goofey :)

[07:46] <ubotu> XiXaQ: 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
[07:46] <n2diy> goofey: hell, I bet Nautilus can get get webmail?
[07:46] <un_operateur> goofey, swiftfox?
[07:47] <goofey> un_operateur: i bet that's it
[07:47] <XiXaQ> timfrost, but the RestrictedFormats page is broken.
[07:47] <LameBMX> un_operateur:  i chrooted debootstrapped .. didnt know what to do about the base-config so i just rebooted and the did apt-get ubuntu-desktop ... and now its dead from me installing realtek driver to try and fix my sound issue
[07:47] <goofey> nolimitsoya: try that - swiftfox
[07:47] <phaedra> XiXaQ,  http://seveas.imbrandon.com/dists/edgy-seveas/
[07:47] <seamus7_> LameBMX: I made the change from ati to fglrx but I think I tried that before .... do you think that might be the source of my freeze up?
[07:47] <RaidenCX> nolimitsoya : http://getswiftfox.com/
[07:47] <goofey> n2diy: have you really never heard of gmail?
[07:47] <un_operateur> goofey, it's oversold -- swiftfox is perhaps 5ms faster :)
[07:47] <arrenlex> nolimitsoys, goofey: swiftfox is just firefox recompiled for a specific architecture. On a modern machine, you will not notice a difference. Plus swiftfox is distributed under a restrictive license.
[07:47] <goofey> un_operateur: thanks!
[07:47] <nolimitsoya> goofey, i have already, but its realy not worth the effort
[07:47] <RaidenCX> nolimitsoya : http://getswiftfox.com/
[07:47] <goofey> un_operateur: it's what he asked for.  :)
[07:47] <SubMOA> could someone tell me what to type in the command line to upgrade everything on the system (packages, etc.)
[07:48] <zOap> why is it that xmas is the most prefered way to kill one self? my cousin hunged himself last night. his mother found him stringed up in the garage roof, only 20 yrs of age.. what a christmas huh?
[07:48] <arrenlex> SubMOA: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[07:48] <n2diy> goofey: yes I have, but I'm not setting up an email server, so I never payed much attention to it.
[07:48] <arrenlex> SubMOA: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[07:48] <matoot> Hello,
[07:48] <LameBMX> un_operateur: mostly from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto ... with a few parts stolen from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FakeRaidEdgy?highlight=%28fakeraid%29  ... because neither one worked on its own lol
[07:48] <goofey> SubMOA: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[07:48] <arrenlex> zOap: You mean a time?
[07:48] <un_operateur> LameBMX, errm, what did you hope configuring/running base-config within the chroot would achieve?
[07:48] <timfrost> XiXaQ: how? It displays for me with no problems
[07:49] <goofey> n2diy: it's simple web based mail - like yahoo mail or hotmail - but much better
[07:49] <zOap> arrenlex, christmas time yes...
[07:49] <pianoboy3333> Can I get some help with this ffmpeg error? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39123/
[07:49] <LameBMX> seamus7_: i would also remove the other device listing ... unless you have 2 vid cards in your system
[07:49] <XiXaQ> timfrost, there are broken links, win32codecs isn't there, for instance. There is no longer any tip on quicktime, etc.
[07:49] <Gun_Smoke> gmail ROCKS.. anyone know how much longer it will be invite only?
[07:49] <nolimitsoya> what do you guys think of amaya?
[07:49] <XiXaQ> phaedra, thanks! :)
[07:49] <seamus7_> LameBMX: no I only have one video card but I do have an output for a second display
[07:49] <SubMOA> thank you all
[07:49] <arrenlex> Gun_Smoke: Ad infinitum.
[07:49] <phaedra> XiXaQ,  okay...
[07:50] <SubMOA> well I'm spent.  Goodbye
[07:50] <LameBMX> un_operateur: during reinstall hopefully make less errors for installing ubuntu desktop maybe
[07:50] <matoot> I need help with install when the CD runs I get  "buffer i/o error on device hdd" what to type at boot: prompt. please help.  I need to get an older machine running. Thanks.
[07:50] <n2diy> goofey: ok, I don't think I have any need for it, my ISP provides a web based email system.
[07:50] <Gun_Smoke> arrenlex:  What?
[07:50] <goofey> n2diy: :)
[07:50] <zOap> what is the big difference between firefox and swiftfox?
[07:50] <arrenlex> Gun_Smoke: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=ad+infinitum
[07:50] <Gun_Smoke> n2diy:  PM me an email address.. just try it.
[07:50] <arrenlex> zOap: swiftfox is just firefox recompiled for a specific architecture. On a modern machine, you will not notice a difference. Plus swiftfox is distributed under a restrictive license.
[07:50] <disco_stu> Hey - I have a question about imaging my hard drive over to my new hard drive - what is the best way to do this?
[07:50] <LameBMX> seamus7_: ahhh .. i havent gotten to configuring dual displays yet ..
[07:51] <n2diy> goofey: Did I make a joke?  :)
[07:51] <zOap> arrenlex, ok, thanks:)
[07:51] <goofey> n2diy: nope - just agreeing w/o agreeing.  :)
[07:51] <Gun_Smoke> arrenlex:  Thanks... Why do you say that?
[07:51] <n2diy> Gun_Smoke: ok, I'll try.
[07:51] <timfrost> XiXaQ: the page has been split into a number of sub-pages.  Have you clicked on ' Windows Media and RealPlayer files' link for instance?
[07:51] <n2diy> goofey: 10-4
[07:51] <arrenlex> Gun_Smoke: Well, until web 3.0 comes out and being "beta" isn't the in thing anymore, I guess.
[07:51] <goofey> disco_stu: are the disks the same size?
[07:52] <seamus7_> LameBMX: I had dual dispalys configured using BigDesktop ... very simple here
[07:52] <disco_stu> no - ones a 10gb - the others a 120gb
[07:52] <erpo> I'm trying to use oprofile with callgraph support. When I run opreport -c imagename, it does not tell me which function called g_list_copy. How can I find out which function is calling g_list_copy most of the time?
[07:52] <LameBMX> heck this will be about my 15th install in the past few days ... lmao ... dang near had it this time ...
[07:52] <goofey> disco_stu: 2 ways then
[07:52] <bruenig> LameBMX, I had tons of installs when I first started
[07:52] <arrenlex> LameBMX: ...what are you doing?! XD
[07:52] <goofey> disco_stu: hmm, maybe 3
[07:52] <disco_stu> ok - I will explain a little more
[07:53] <goofey> disco_stu: install ubuntu on 120gb and then copy over your home dir
[07:53] <LameBMX> man ... its bad enough i have to build a custom windows install disk ... :/ i knew nix was gonna be a pain
[07:53] <disco_stu> will that save all my settings?
[07:53] <LameBMX> arrenlex: install to fakeraid ...
[07:53] <goofey> disco_stu: or dd the 10gb to the 120, and then use gparted to resize your main partition
[07:53] <seamus7_> any ATI Radeon people out there able to look at my Xorg.0.log, dmesg and xorg.conf for errors ... they're at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39122/
[07:53] <quagmire> jeebus
[07:53] <goofey> disco_stu: all personal settings should be in your home dir
[07:53] <quagmire> man
[07:53] <LameBMX> oh and for the record .. even though its fakeraid .. its still hella faster than a single ide device
[07:53] <quagmire> what people go through
[07:53] <goofey> disco_stu: so, yeah
[07:53] <quagmire> for what ?
[07:54] <nelsonuwp> whats the best way to go about completely wiping out my computer and installing ubuntu?
[07:54] <quagmire> so damn much configuration
[07:54] <goofey> nelsonuwp: the ubuntu install cd will wipe the disk as one option
[07:54] <tonyyarusso> nelsonuwp: Pop in the CD, and tell it to use the whole disk.
[07:54] <linux_user400354> can someone paste his or her  /usr/share/applications/alacarte.desktop ? mine is having some problems
[07:54] <mseney> nelsonuwp, you don't need any of the files?
[07:54] <quagmire> Lame- how you doin ?
[07:54] <disco_stu> Including drivers and everything - I spent a fair bit of time getting everything working
[07:54] <un_operateur> nelsonuwp, in order to correct what exactly?
[07:54] <bruenig> nelsonuwp, first get some really strong magnets
[07:54] <quagmire> lol bruenig
[07:54] <tonyyarusso> hehe
[07:54] <un_operateur> :))
[07:54] <arrenlex> Hi seamus7.
[07:54] <quagmire> EBAY
[07:54] <goofey> disco_stu: then the dd option is best for that
[07:54] <quagmire> best way to wipe drive - sell it on ebay
[07:54] <seamus7_> arrenlex: hey there
[07:54] <disco_stu> ok
[07:54] <quagmire> and make it GONE
[07:54] <quagmire> get new drive
[07:55] <quagmire> they'll never find the horse pr0n
[07:55] <seamus7_> arrenlex: how's it going?
[07:55] <nelsonuwp> so the ubuntu disk will format my stuff for me.. windows gone
[07:55] <nelsonuwp> ?
[07:55] <goofey> nelsonuwp: yep
[07:55] <nelsonuwp> problems gone?
[07:55] <mseney> nelsonuwp, yup
[07:55] <LameBMX> im doin .. slackin on gettin the second install goin ... i just sat down and got comfy chattin on the net
[07:55] <arrenlex> seamus7_: Awesome. Just finished the cake (it's my birthday).
[07:55] <bruenig> nelsonuwp, yes, you can select the default format which will wipe everything and install ubuntu
[07:55] <goofey> nelsonuwp: but it's not the default option - but it is an option
[07:55] <LameBMX> nuthin a couple reboots wont cure
[07:55] <n2diy> !enter +quagmi re
[07:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about enter +quagmi re - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:55] <nelsonuwp> sweet
[07:55] <mseney> i can't stand freakin windows so good for you bro
[07:55] <goofey> disco_stu: have you used dd before?
[07:55] <LameBMX> hey .. does linux have an autorun option?
[07:55] <seamus7_> arrenlex: happy bday! mmmmm cake.
[07:55] <nelsonuwp> hey, any good linux beginner things out there
[07:55] <XiXaQ> timfrost, yes, but when you click win32codecs, it points to itself, which doesn't include any information on it. And there is nothing on quicktime.
[07:55] <nelsonuwp> pages i mean
[07:55] <arrenlex> seamus7_: Thank you. :) What problems are you having exactly?
[07:56] <LameBMX> or can i do dpkg -i pkg1 pkg2 pkg3
[07:56] <crimsun> LameBMX: gnome-volume-control has one, yes.
[07:56] <crimsun> LameBMX: and yes, you can pass multiple packages to dpkg -i
[07:56] <bruenig> nelsonuwp, ubuntuforums.org is pretty big if you have questions search for them or put your own up. It is very likely to be answered within hours usually
[07:56] <disco_stu> no - I am searching dd on google right now
[07:56] <nelsonuwp> k and the basics
[07:56] <bruenig> nelsonuwp, ubuntuguide.org is good
[07:56] <LameBMX> im talkin about when i pop my thumbdrive in have it auto install dmraid for me :))
[07:56] <crimsun> LameBMX: sorry, gnome-volume-manager for the former.
[07:56] <Gun_Smoke> n2diy:  Am I still waiting on a PM?
[07:56] <LameBMX> yay
[07:56] <disco_stu> im pretty much a noob - but Im hooked
[07:56] <LameBMX> i could at least get it down to one command then
[07:57] <arrenlex> seamus7_: You're trying to use xgl, aren't you.
[07:57] <mseney> nelsonuwp, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=812448
[07:57] <timfrost> XiXaQ: that sub-page tells you to get the codecs with 'wget -c http://www.debian-multimedia.org/pool/main/w/w32codecs/w32codecs_20061022-0.0_i386.deb;sudo dpkg -i w32codecs_20061022-0.0_i386.deb'
[07:57] <foo> un_operateur: would you recommend compiling from source or getting it from fiesta?
[07:57] <goofey> disco_stu: put the 2nd disk in the system, boot from a linux cd, dd if=/dev/hda of-/dev/hdb (a being the 10, b being the 120), then use gparted to resize the main partition on the 120
[07:57] <n2diy> Gun_Smoke: Then I don't know how to do it with Xchat, I have one showing for you on my screen, the one that shows #ubuntu?
[07:58] <Gun_Smoke> n2diy:  You must not be registered.
[07:58] <goofey> disco_stu: er, dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb
[07:58] <bruenig> you have to be registered
[07:58] <seamus7_> arrenlex: well I used https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI to try to get back to fglrx BUT just the one in the provided in the repositories (as the open Radeon doesn't support my X1300 card) but my system is freezing after when I try to login
[07:58] <XiXaQ> timfrost, thanks.
[07:58] <n2diy> Gun_Smoke: roger on that, I'm not.
[07:58] <un_operateur> foo, feisty ** errm, to be completely honest at this moment neither .. AFAIK 5.2 is fairly new and still needs to stabilize, but if i were really hard-pressed, i'd choose the feisty packages
[07:58] <arrenlex> seamus7_: You're trying to use xgl, aren't you.
[07:58] <nelsonuwp> i suppose ubuntu comes with just the os, no word processor?
[07:59] <seamus7_> arrenlex: lol ... no I have never tried to do xgl ... isn't that the fancy windows effects thingy?
[07:59] <arrenlex> nelsonuwp: No; ubuntu has openoffice.org writer included.
[07:59] <goofey> disco_stu: dd copies *everything*, bit-by-bit to the new drive - partitions, grub, and everything
[07:59] <disco_stu> ok -do I create the ext3 partition on the 120gb first or will dd do that for me?
[07:59] <bruenig> n2diy, if you want to register do /msg nickserv register password, of course substituting password with your own, I think that is the syntax someone will correct me if it isn't
[07:59] <n2diy> Gun_Smoke: do you know how to open another channel?
[07:59] <arrenlex> seamus7_: Really? The last time I saw this error it was related to xgl. Yes it it.
[07:59] <disco_stu> ok
[07:59] <goofey> disco_stu: dd will copy the partition
[07:59] <disco_stu> cool - thank you very much
[07:59] <arrenlex> seamus7_: Your error is on line 0982.
[07:59] <goofey> disco_stu: good luck!
[07:59] <LameBMX> apt-get -f install is your friend
[07:59] <nelsonuwp> arrenlex: awesome, how does it compare with word?
[07:59] <seamus7_> arrenlex: well if I have enabled XGL somehow .. it's completely by mistake
[07:59] <seamus7_> arrenlex: let me look at that ;)
[08:00] <jlowell> anyone get enemylines7 to work?
[08:00] <arrenlex> nelsonuwp: openoffice.org-writer is amazing for a free software suite. Think of it as a slower, more bloated version of Word. But at least it works well.
[08:00] <bruenig> nelsonuwp, unless you are doing really advanced crazy stuff, it is fine.
[08:00] <bruenig> nelsonuwp, I go with abiword myself
[08:00] <Erb_> My Firefox crashes whenever I try to open local videos (via 'Open File'). Does anyone know what causes this?
[08:00] <bruenig> !info abiword
[08:00] <ubotu> abiword: WYSIWYG word processor based on GTK2. In component main, is optional. Version 2.4.5-0ubuntu2 (edgy), package size 2458 kB, installed size 6876 kB
[08:00] <nelsonuwp> k
[08:00] <bruenig> that is great
[08:01] <goofey> disco_stu: sent you a msg
[08:01] <nelsonuwp> and i read somewhere that utorrent worked with linux but Im not quite sure if i believe that
[08:01] <n2diy> glad I used my low lever password for that attempt!
[08:01] <arrenlex> seamus7_: The error itself basically means the API of the fglrx_dri.so library changed. i.e. the functions you can call on changed.
[08:01] <arrenlex> seamus7_: But the open-source software is still trying to call the old functions.
[08:01] <hagabaka> how can i check in which repository in /etc/apt/sources.list apt-get found a package?
[08:01] <seamus7_> arrenlex: I do know that fglrx does not support aiglx
[08:02] <noobie0057> hello, I installed something using the synaptic package manager, I would like to know if it is running as a daemon, and if when I reboot it will run automatically
[08:02] <Gun_Smoke> n2diy: not too sure.  did you get my last PM?
[08:02] <bruenig> hagabaka, do apt-cache show package, it will tell you the repo it is in
[08:02] <arrenlex> seamus7_: A quick google seems to indicate some forums where people with a similiar error message came for help: http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=dlsym+for+__driCreateNewScreen_20050727+failed
[08:02] <hagabaka> bruenig: it's not showing me...
[08:02] <bruenig> you can't trust google canada
[08:02] <goofey> noobie0057: ps -ef | grep app will tell you if it's running
[08:02] <n2diy> Gun_Smoke, yep, yep
[08:03] <bruenig> hagabaka, what is the package?
[08:03] <dmc_> how can i add scripts to run at startup?
[08:03] <seamus7_> arrenlex: oh ok thx ... i'll look there ... thx :)
[08:03] <arrenlex> seamus7_: Regardless, the error is pretty specialised (i.e. a specific driver version for a specific card in a specific setup) so it's unlikely someone here will be able to help you. We're more for general newbie questions. You can try, but your best bet is probably google.
[08:03] <bruenig> !startup
[08:03] <ubotu> To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup
[08:03] <arrenlex> seamus7_: Good luck.
[08:03] <arrenlex> bruenig: What do you have against google canada?
[08:03] <noobie0057> goofey: should I replace the word "app" with the name of the application ?
[08:03] <bruenig> arrenlex, I don't know, thought I would throw it out there to be absurdist
[08:04] <hagabaka> bruenig: for example, kdict
[08:04] <goofey> noobie0057: yep -
[08:04] <seamus7_> arrenlex: I see ok thank you ... I'm on the #ati channel too but it seems to be dormant for now
[08:04] <goofey> noobie0057: did that work?
[08:04] <noobie0057> goofey, thanks that tells me it is running,
[08:04] <bruenig> hagabaka, when you do apt-cache search kdict, look for this line "Section: universe/net" and this line "Filename: pool/universe/k/kdenetwork/kdict_3.5.5-0ubuntu1_i386.deb" from those I determine that it is in the universe repo
[08:05] <noobie0057> goofey: is there a way I can tell that it will restart if I reboot,, (also for all users not just me)
[08:05] <goofey> noobie0057: there is - but i'm not as up to speed on this - one sec
[08:05] <jlowell> anyone get enemylines7 to work?
[08:05] <jlowell> i get a segmentation fault
[08:05] <hagabaka> bruenig: but which entry in sources.list is it? many repositories just have "main"
[08:05] <bruenig> hagabaka, the most reliable one is the second line right after pool/ there will be main universe restricted or whatever it is
[08:05] <bruenig> hagabaka, well there is a main repo
[08:06] <bruenig> hagabaka, it would be the line that says something like deb http://archive.ubuntu.com edgy main
[08:06] <noobie0057> goofey: thanks  btw the application is ddclient I'll look into start up scripts for myself
[08:06] <hagabaka> i use unofficial repositories too. and both ubuntu and kubuntu repositores have "main", not to mention many others
[08:06] <goofey> noobie0057: it should be in the /etc/rc.5.d directory....
[08:07] <Flannel> hagabaka: ubuntu and kubuntu repositories are one and the same
[08:07] <noobie0057> goofey: thanks I'll look there...
[08:07] <hagabaka> Flannel: kubuntu has its own repository. though they share the same universe repository, as far as i understand
[08:08] <bruenig> hagabaka, kubuntu doesn't have its own repository, maybe you have some kde repositories but that is different
[08:08] <Flannel> hagabaka: no, they are one and the same.
[08:08] <arrenlex> hagabaka: Kubuntu doesn't have its own repository. It's only ubuntu with different default packages.
[08:08] <hagabaka> my point is, many repositories put packages just under "main". using that can't uniquely determine which repository a package is from
[08:08] <mythril> does anyone know how to enable mod_rewrite on apache2 for ubuntu?
[08:08] <goofey> noobie0057: good luck!
[08:08] <levander> Anybody can make a guess as to why when I just restarted X, now my background won't change from that standard Ubuntu orange to Wallpaper I try to change it to in the "Desktop Background" applet?
[08:08] <bruenig> hagabaka, pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list, that should make it a bit easier to see exactly
[08:08] <bruenig> !paste  hagabaka
[08:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about paste  hagabaka - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:08] <bruenig> !paste | hagabaka
[08:08] <ubotu> hagabaka: 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 (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[08:08] <gaten> a fat32 volume im deleting files from isnt updating its freespace (it says it has 0 bytes free, but ive deleted about 10gigs worth of files). i've tried sync and no go. other than remounting it, how can i solve this? df also shows it as 100% capasity
[08:08] <LameBMX> well time to reboot and test my junk
[08:09] <arrenlex> gaten: Are you deleting them in a GUI? They're probably in trash then.
[08:10] <Damn> hello
[08:10] <bruenig> !hi | Damn
[08:10] <ubotu> Damn: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[08:10] <gaten> arrenlex:  thats what i figured. how do you access root's trash?

[08:10] <Damn> hi there
[08:10] <dmc_> How do you add a script to Startup in Gnome, not add a program
[08:10] <hagabaka> bruenig: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39125/
[08:11] <bruenig> dmc_, go to system>preferences>sessions go to the startup commands tab, and then put the path to your script
[08:11] <bruenig> well there are kubuntu repos, weird
[08:11] <arrenlex> gaten: Root's home dir is /root/. Does that help any?
[08:11] <bruenig> those aren't official
[08:12] <dmc_> bruenig: thank you
[08:12] <bruenig> those are third party
[08:12] <hagabaka> i know, i said i use unofficial repositories
[08:12] <gaten> arrenlex:  i know that. where is the trash kept?
[08:12] <arrenlex> gaten: I use KDE. Can't help you, sorry.
[08:12] <bruenig> gaten, generally trash is kept in ~/.Trash
[08:12] <bruenig> although that is for gnome
[08:13] <n2diy> gaten: lower right is a trash can, right click on that.
[08:13] <bruenig> gaten, you should have probably just rm the files
[08:14] <hagabaka> mine seems to be in ~/.local/share/Trash
[08:14] <gaten> .Trash doesn't exist for root. and as im deleting these files using root, the trash bin on my regular user account does nothing
[08:15] <arrenlex> gaten: According to hagabaka, you might look in /root/.local/share/Trash
[08:15] <foo> un_operateur: ok, thanks. And 5.2 is stable, FYI. I believe that's what the site says
[08:15] <LameBMX> hooaahh i got my dependencies in the right order .. man i love shell scripts lol
[08:15] <bruenig> hagabaka, so is mine, but I switched over to xubuntu this time so I figured that was an xubuntu only thing
[08:15] <bruenig> is that an ubuntu thing to
[08:15] <hagabaka> hmm...
[08:16] <n2diy> ! root
[08:16] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[08:16] <hagabaka> is /root/ mapped to the main user?
[08:16] <timfrost> hagabaka: apt-cache policy <package> will tell you which repository has what version of the specific package.
[08:16] <hagabaka> oh
[08:16] <n2diy> gaten: hagabaka, lower right is a trash can, right click on that.
[08:17] <gaten> ah hah, found it. trash is located on the volume in question, not my root volume
[08:17] <un_operateur> foo, if you believe what the site says .. :)  touch wood!!
[08:17] <hagabaka> thanks
[08:17] <timfrost> hagabaka: no /root is the root user's home directory.  Other users use  /home/<username>
[08:17] <bruenig> n2diy, I think you might be oversimplifying it a bit, I mean I remove that trash icon immediately
[08:18] <n2diy> bruenig: why remove it, just empty it?
[08:18] <foo> un_operateur: :) Thanks!
[08:18] <bruenig> n2diy, well I wrote a script to empty it and then keyboard shortcutted that
[08:18] <Erb_> My Firefox crashes whenever I try to open local videos (via 'Open File'). Does anyone know what causes this?
[08:18] <hagabaka> ok, for a second i thought i saw my own files in /root/
[08:19] <n2diy> bruenig: ok, I missed what you folks are trying to do.
[08:19] <gaten> Erb_:  try running firefox in a terminal and see what it output when it crashes
[08:19] <bruenig> n2diy, I never really understood the point of the trash. It saves me maybe once a year when I accidentally delete something I didn't intend to but generally, I put something in the trash and then clear the trash immediately, waste of effort
[08:19] <bruenig> keyboard shortcut makes it easier though
[08:20] <hagabaka> is /root/ supposed to be drwxr-xr-x ?
[08:20] <bruenig> hagabaka, seems right
[08:21] <n2diy> bruenig: understood, and I forget to empty it before I backup.
[08:21] <arrenlex> hagabaka: As long as it's owned by root:root, yes.
[08:21] <hagabaka> doesn't it mean everyone can enter it?
[08:21] <Erb_> gaten: what is the command to run Firefox in a terminal?
[08:21] <arrenlex> hagabaka: Yes, everyone can read it and execute things in it.
[08:21] <bruenig> hagabaka, they can read and execute it but they can't write to it
[08:21] <arrenlex> hagabaka: No write permission though.
[08:21] <arrenlex> Yes xD
[08:21] <gaten> root should be 700. ubuntu seems to have made it a little less strict
[08:21] <hagabaka> hmm...i thought home directories were supposed to be private
[08:21] <gaten> Erb_:  firefox
[08:22] <hagabaka> it's the same for my home too
[08:22] <arrenlex> hagabaka: Depends who you want on your system.
[08:22] <arrenlex> hagabaka: Or don't want.
[08:22] <arrenlex> hagabaka: Feel free to change it.
[08:22] <bruenig> hagabaka, you can set it up that way if you wish, or perhaps put the files you don't want other to see in a specific directory and make that unaccessible to others
[08:22] <Erb_> gaten: I did that but it doesn't output anything. Do I need extra commands?
[08:22] <hagabaka> ok
[08:23] <gaten> Erb_:  er, did the browser start up at all?
[08:23] <Erb_> gaten: yes
[08:23] <gaten> Erb_:  and nothing showed up in the terminal window? something should have shown up
[08:24] <Erb_> gaten: no, it just has the prompt
[08:25] <gaten> Erb_:  wait. close all your firefox windows. THEN type firefox into the terminal and crash it again
[08:25] <sushi_> Does anybody know of a GUI for wget?  Or equivilant?
[08:25] <arrenlex> sushi_: A gui for wget would be a download manager. o_O
[08:25] <arrenlex> sushi_: Search for a download manager.
[08:25] <minimec> sushi_: A gui for wget???? How about firefox?
[08:25] <n2diy> sushi_: synaptic?
[08:26] <gaten> sushi_:  i'm using aria. working w/ firefox and flashgot
[08:26] <rredd4> i just upgraded to 2.6.15-27-386, why doesn't synaptic show it?
[08:26] <rredd4> using dapper
[08:26] <JustNew> Hi all. I seem to have lost my Gnome panels. When i started up, i got: "I've detected a panel" or something like that. I've tried restarting (CTRL-ALT-BKSPC) but no luck. any ideas
[08:26] <arrenlex> rredd4: That's quite an, uh, "upgrade". Why are you on a -386 kernel?
[08:26] <soccer_M> im using DSL connection do i need to setup dialup to get the fax working ?
[08:27] <mseney> im freakin tired..later
[08:27] <rredd4> arrenlex  thats what came with ubuntu.. 386 kernel
[08:28] <Acain> hey guys, if u press c at bootload, u can access a mini grub - any idea how to access the cd drive at this stage?
[08:28] <JustNew> Entire error is: "I've detected a panel already running, and will now exit"
[08:29] <hagabaka> where can i see a list of "sections" for packages? such as net, util
[08:29] <soccer_M> anyone have any idea
[08:29] <soccer_M> ?
[08:29] <rredd4> arrenlex  so why is only 26 shown and not 27
[08:29] <timfrost> hagabaka: in synaptic
[08:30] <arrenlex> rredd4: How did you install this kernel?
[08:30] <rredd4> update manager
[08:31] <am> hey guys, getting lots of lockups with edgy..pretty sure the hardware is fine. Is there a way i can easily try a different kernel version ?
[08:31] <sushi_> gwget works great thanks
[08:32] <rredd4> arrenlex  I am going to remove 26 so that i only see 27 in grub, just wondered why 27 does not show.

[08:36] <elkbuntu> !exploit
[08:36] <ubotu> There are people around who think it is funny to abuse a bug in certain routers by sending invalid DCC commands. When bitten by this bug ops in #ubuntu remove users so they are no longer targets. To fix it have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixDCCExploit
[08:36] <arrenlex> What's a DCC command, though?

[08:36] <Hobbsee> arrenlex: send files
[08:36] <arrenlex> Oh. I see.
[08:37] <quux> arrenlex: certain routers actually are trying to protect their owners from harm via DC.C send .. it disconnects them for a breif moment

[08:43] <arrenlex> godtvisk1n: Try using it in whatever application you wanted to use it in.

[08:44] <nolimitsoya> * dont seem to work the way i want it to...
[08:44] <arrenlex> Mathew: If the md5 passes, you're good to go.
[08:44] <un_operateur> n2diy, is moving from Windows 2000 to Windows XP considered an upgrade?
[08:44] <lupine_85> nolimitsoya: you have to escape it so bash doesn't break it, I think... so \*
[08:44] <lupine_85> but yeah, it doesn't work too well
[08:44] <arrenlex> nolimitsoya: Use quotes.
[08:45] <nolimitsoya> lupine_85, ill test it, thank you :)
[08:45] <lupine_85> it does take regexes, I believe
[08:45] <arrenlex> nolimitsoya: apt-get install "openoffice.org*"
[08:45] <nolimitsoya> arrenlex, how?
[08:45] <nolimitsoya> arrenlex, ok, thanks :)
[08:45] <Fraj> btw whats that link again to play .wmv files
[08:45] <n2diy> un_operateur: hell if I know, I don't do Windows, and i haven't for 11 years.
[08:45] <Fraj>  i couldnt install them last night

[08:45] <lupine_85> sushi_: your computer needs more pizza
[08:46] <elijahlofgren> Fraj: You need to install some codecs. I'll get a link.
[08:46] <sushi_> i guess it's chinesse tonite
[08:46] <un_operateur> n2diy, well, ok, 11 years ago -- was moving from windows 2.x to windows 3.1 an upgrade? :)
[08:46] <lupine_85> order a 12" stuffed crust
[08:46] <Fraj> thanks
[08:46] <nolimitsoya> arrenlex, still wont work, fex: 'apt-get build-dep "libxfce4mcs-client*"' doesnt fetch 'libxfce4mcs-client3'
[08:46] <Vorbote> Fraj: it shouldn't happen. It may be cache corruption. Open a nautilus window, type ctrl-l and in the resulting "go to:" go yo /home(<your user>/.mozilla/firefox/<crap>.default There delete XPC.mfasl, xpti.dat and localstore.rdf
[08:46] <n2diy> un_operateur: no moving from 3.1 to 95 was a requirement.
[08:46] <arrenlex> nolimitsoya: Oh, build-dep is different. I don't have any experience with that.
[08:47] <elijahlofgren> Fraj: Was for breezy, but should get you started: http://www.elijahlofgren.com/linux/ubuntu/multimedia/#play-mpegs
[08:47] <PigsFlyMondays> Hi, I was wondering for security reasons if I could make my work pc only boot to a terminal login thingee as opposed to loading the X server automatically...if anyone could asist I would be gratefull man.
[08:47] <nolimitsoya> lupine_85, any ideas?
[08:47] <dmc_> Is there a way to get Nessus from Ubuntu repositories?
[08:47] <Fraj> whats Nautilus ?
[08:47] <Fraj> thanks eli
[08:47] <arrenlex> PigsFlyMondays: Permanently? Remove the gdm package.
[08:47] <PigsFlyMondays> I still want gnome....and kde
[08:47] <PigsFlyMondays> i just dont want it to autoboot
[08:47] <un_operateur> n2diy, ok, if you want to be pedantic -- it was a "required upgrade" :)
[08:47] <twb> What is in the edgy-updates repo?  Backports?
[08:47] <family> hi, can someone explain to me why it appears on my Ubuntu machine that I have low FPS. Dragging a window arround the screen will leave a long tail of windows.??
[08:48] <PigsFlyMondays> so i can manually start X or whatever it is
[08:48] <Vorbote> Fraj: the gnome file manager

[08:48] <Gadget100> Hello  I'm having trouble getting kubuntu to boot propperly.  the website said to come here for help.
[08:48] <un_operateur> n2diy, upgrades dont have anything to with stability because you can upgrade into chaos too :) ... as with vista :))
[08:48] <nolimitsoya> twb, those would be in the backports repo. updates is probably trivial bugfixes
[08:48] <slicky> Fraj: where are you from?
[08:48] <arrenlex> !ask | Gadget100
[08:48] <ubotu> Gadget100: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:48] <gaten> PigsFlyMondays:  chmod -x /etc/init.d/gdm might work.
[08:48] <arrenlex> PigsFlyMondays: gdm is a display manager. It's what starts x automatically. If you remove it, you will have to use the startx command.
[08:48] <nothlit_> family, have you installed graphics drivers?
[08:48] <PigsFlyMondays> thanks
[08:48] <Fraj> where can i find Nautilus?
[08:48] <nolimitsoya> open question: 'apt-get build-dep "libxfce4mcs-client*"' doesnt fetch 'libxfce4mcs-client3', how can i make it?
[08:48] <Moo-> there is no killall in my ubuntu 6.06 server install. is this right? where I could get it?
[08:49] <PigsFlyMondays> thanks
[08:49] <arrenlex> PigsFlyMondays: Note that gaten suggests essentially the same thing as I do.
[08:49] <n2diy> un_operateur: pedantic!? Now I have to find my dictionary, this remindes me of Winders!
[08:49] <arrenlex> Moo-: apt-get install killall :)
[08:49] <nothlit_> PigsFlyMondays, just remove gdm/kdm
[08:49] <PigsFlyMondays> ok
[08:49] <Fraj> im on the desktop
[08:49] <Moo-> E: Couldn't find package killall
[08:49] <Gadget100> Why does X server keep crashign on Kubuntu live?
[08:49] <PigsFlyMondays> will it affect anything or will it simply mean manual start..
[08:49] <PigsFlyMondays> ?
[08:49] <un_operateur> nolimitsoya, you could do something like -- aptitude install `aptitude search xyz | cut -c4-50 | xargs`  (contrived example)
[08:49] <soccer_M> godtvisk1n : modprobe videodev
[08:49] <arrenlex> Moo-: Oh. I think it's psmisc.
[08:49] <ADminS> can i send files from my laptop to my mobile using Bluetooth device ?
[08:49] <family> I have just let ubuntu install with what ever it found, should I set others? The graphics are onboard Sis chipset of some sort.
[08:49] <twb> un_operateur: ew
[08:49] <un_operateur> n2diy, dont have gnome-dictionary installed, bleeh :p
[08:49] <arrenlex> Moo-: Yes; psmisc.
[08:49] <twb> aptitude install ~nxfce-whatever
[08:50] <Moo-> thx archangelpetro
[08:50] <Moo-> err thx arrenlex
[08:50] <arrenlex> xD
[08:50] <arrenlex> Goo tab completion powers.
[08:50] <nolimitsoya> thank you un_operateur twb :)
[08:50] <nothlit_> PigsFlyMondays, no you just start a graphical environment with startx, but you might have to pass different arguments to get the desktop environment you want
[08:50] <n2diy> un_operateur: Vista may but linux over the top!
[08:50] <Fraj> its not just with mozilla
[08:50] <Fraj> it happens with every software
[08:50] <nothlit_> What differences does the server kernel have
[08:50] <PigsFlyMondays> thanks...
[08:50] <Fraj> its happening with xchat as well
[08:50] <nothlit_> !ati | family
[08:50] <ubotu> family: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:50] <PigsFlyMondays> #ubuntu rocks.
[08:51] <twb> PigsFlyMondays: it's too busy
[08:51] <Acain-testing> anyone able to help with grub and a cd boot problem?
[08:51] <arrenlex> !anyone | Acain
[08:51] <ubotu> Acain: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[08:51] <nothlit_> un_operateur, you know you can tell aptitude how to format the search results
[08:51] <family> ubotu, I will have a look but I know it is neither of those brands. It is an onboard SiS chip of some sort.
[08:51] <nothlit_> !grub | Acain
[08:51] <ubotu> Acain: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[08:51] <un_operateur> nothlit_, which was what i did no?
[08:52] <un_operateur> nothlit, ohh, i see what you mean..
[08:52] <nolimitsoya> twb, 'sudo aptitude install ~libxfce4mcs-client' return line 'E: Unknown pattern type: l', should i worry?
[08:52] <twb> un_operateur: you don't need to format search results!  Just use pattern matching
[08:52] <n2diy> un_I have some dictionary installed here, but all it does now, is high light my mistakes. And Ubuntu is one of them!
[08:52] <ADminS> !bluetooth
[08:52] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[08:52] <twb> nolimitsoya: ~n<regexp> means packages matching the name <regexp>
[08:52] <Acain> need to boot from a boot cd (any cd) and let that cd see the ntfs partition of xp - currently the cd boots and sees no HDD!!
[08:52] <un_operateur> twb, nothlit explain -- i'm interested all-ears :)
[08:52] <nolimitsoya> twb, ah, so i need the 'n'?
[08:53] <arrenlex> Acain: The ubuntu desktop CD should be able to do this.
[08:53] <twb> un_operateur: look at the pattern matching section of the aptitude-doc manual
[08:53] <twb> nolimitsoya: what are you actually trying to do?
[08:53] <n2diy> un_operateur:  I have some dictionary installed here, but all it does now, is high light my mistakes. And Ubuntu is one of them!
[08:53] <wyld> I like the Ubuntu login sound wtf is it supposed to be?
[08:53] <godtvisken> Hi, I'm trying to get my Logitech Quickcam Fusion to work. I installed the UVC drivers from linux-uvc.berlios.de, and then plugged in the device. dmesg says it is using the uvc drivers, but when I try to run camorama, it reports "Could not connect to video device (/dev/video0)" What can I do?
[08:53] <twb> wyld: an orangutan exploding into the front carriage of a steam train
[08:53] <un_operateur> n2diy, aye, ubuntu is a common-noun .. as is awholelotofnonsense :)
[08:53] <wyld> twb: Sounds plausible to me
[08:54] <nothlit_> un_operateur, /usr/share/doc(s)/aptitude ... theres a README with search patterns and search formatting
[08:54] <Acain> arrenlex: the purpose of this boot cd (ERD 2005) is to reset the xp password, can't do that cos it does not c the ntfs part.. i'll try the ubunto cd and c what happens - but still how will it help me boot the (ERD) cd and then let the erd to connect to the xp install?
[08:54] <twb> n2diy: probably because ubuntu isn't an English word.
[08:54] <nolimitsoya> twb, make a script to download, unzip and build the latest xfce source tar automagicaly :) hence, i need to be able to get the build-deps, and i dont want to have to keep track of what version is in the repos right that second :)
[08:54] <Fraj> so no one knows what it is?
[08:54] <Fraj> could it be perhaps
[08:54] <Fraj> i need to install my gfx driver?
[08:54] <nothlit_> un_operateur, you can use arguments like ~i for installed, and ~c for uninstalled but not purged, and ~d for regex description matching and so on...
[08:55] <Erb_> How can I debug firefox? It crashes everytime a try to open a local video (via File > Open File)
[08:55] <arrenlex> Acain: If your windows CD is not finding your windows partition, why are you on #ubuntu?
[08:55] <twb> nolimitsoya: ...why?
[08:55] <family> ubotu, lspci lists the graphics chipset as a "Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]  SiS961 [MuTIOL Media IO] 
[08:55] <arrenlex> Erb_: a) run it from the command line. b) why are you trying to open a video in firefox?
[08:55] <nolimitsoya> twb, so i dont try to drag in build-deps for packages not in the repos, breaking my script
[08:55] <n2diy> Well, you would think the creators of Ubuntu, would include it in their spell checker!?
[08:55] <twb> n2diy: why?
[08:55] <un_operateur> nothlit, ahh, i see what you and twb mean -- yes, i'm aware of that -- as i said in the example -- it's contrived :)
[08:55] <rgie> hi all
[08:55] <Fraj> arrenlex ?
[08:55] <wyld> what is the difference between ext3 and ext2?
[08:55] <rgie> i need help =)
[08:55] <twb> nolimitsoya: no, I mean why are you trying to build bleeding-edge versions of XFCE?
[08:56] <arrenlex> Fraj: ?
[08:56] <linux_user400354> after using ethernet on ubuntu, dial up will not work anymore as it was before. could the ethernet have added settings such as dns servers to use etc thats causing the dial up not to work? ive checked most of the obvious things.
[08:56] <nothlit_> wyld, ext3 has journaling
[08:56] <rgie> how can i make ubuntu as a router?
[08:56] <n2diy> twb, ummm, common sense?
[08:56] <family> whoops, I see uboto is a bot.... can some else suggest what I need to do to correctly install video drivers for Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]  SiS961 [MuTIOL Media IO] 
[08:56] <arrenlex> wyld: A journal.
[08:56] <twb> wyld: ext3 = ext2 + journaling
[08:56] <wyld> and.... in english
[08:56] <rgie> is it posible?
[08:56] <Fraj> the problems not just from mozilla happens with every other software...
[08:56] <nothlit_> wyld, makes your filesystem a lot more repairable when it comes to clean unmounts
[08:56] <Erb_> arrelex: when I open firefox from the command line, it just opens and doesn't print anything to terminal.
[08:56] <twb> family: the SiS graphics cards need the sis driver.
[08:56] <nothlit_> wyld, *unclean unmounts...
[08:56] <wyld> that's good, right?
[08:56] <nothlit_> wyld, like accidental reboots and crashing and yes its good
[08:56] <family> twb, and they can be obtained from?
[08:56] <Gadget100> how do I get kubuntu live cd to boot properly.  X keeps crashing, respawning in never ending loop.
[08:56] <arrenlex> wyld: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journalling
[08:56] <wyld> ok
[08:56] <wyld> ohhhh
[08:57] <wyld> a link
[08:57] <twb> family: you need to make sure sis is loaded (lsmod) or load it (/etc/modules, modprobe), then tell X to use it (/etc/X11/xorg.conf).
[08:57] <wyld> just for me!
[08:57] <wyld> yay
[08:57] <ttyfscker_> im having some problems with ubuntu on ppc
[08:57] <family> twb, will have a shot now
[08:57] <nolimitsoya> twb, its just a learning project, and a remote goal of rolling my own automaticaly maintained sourcebased "distro" consisting of scriptcontrolled download and build of vanilla source tars :)
[08:57] <ttyfscker_> i am getting there is no yaboot HFS partition found
[08:57] <rgie> is there anyway that can i make centos as my gateway>
[08:57] <ttyfscker_> yaboot cant be configured
[08:57] <ttyfscker_> can someone here help with this
[08:57] <Acain> arrenlex: cos i can boot into windows - and don't have the pass - i installed ubuntu however, so the way around is to crack the xp password, for that u need to inseert a bootcd from norton (ERD) and it helps to reset the password
[08:57] <twb> nolimitsoya: that sounds more like a Gentoo or Slackware thing.
[08:57] <arrenlex> Acain: Why exactly do you need to crack the XP password to install ubuntu?
[08:58] <Acain> arrenles: ubuntu works fine and great
[08:58] <Acain> i just want to know how to boot from a cd, after ubuntu is installed
[08:58] <arrenlex> Acain: Yes it does. But what does that have to do with XP passwords?!
[08:58] <family> twb, what am I looking for in lsmod?
[08:58] <nothlit_> Acain, burn a grub disc
[08:58] <Fraj> arrenlex???
[08:58] <twb> family: sis
[08:58] <Acain> i forgot the xp password
[08:58] <arrenlex> Fraj: What?! Who are you? What do you want?
[08:58] <Acain> admin pass
[08:59] <Acain> so there is tool caled erd to reset it
[08:59] <Fraj> lol i said the problem with teh screen flickering is not just from mozilla
[08:59] <n2diy> or never had it?
[08:59] <Fraj> its an operating system problem....
[08:59] <nothlit_> Acain, if you want to boot from CD, use a grub disc.
[08:59] <nolimitsoya> twb, im trying to take it one step at a time, smoothing the learning curve :) since the xfce version in the edgy repo is ancient beta (mostly) anyway, i figured getting into that part was a good place to start, having completed the most acute targets such as thunar and gaim :)
[08:59] <family> twb, this it? sis900                 22912  0
[08:59] <dmc_> sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/Nessus.desktop          it just hangs after typing in terminal, any suggestions?
[08:59] <nothlit_> Acain, otherwise you can go google nt/xp resetters
[08:59] <Acain> nothlit_ where do u get a grub disk?
[08:59] <twb> family: I don't recall
[09:00] <Vorbote> rgie: it is not very difficult. Although I haven't done it myself. There is a how-to at howtoforge.com
[09:00] <arrenlex> dmc_: You should be using gtksu for gui apps.
[09:00] <nothlit_> Acain, you burn on, you can extract the one from the ubuntu package or theres a super grub disc, but it does a lot more, and is more complicated
[09:00] <dmc_> arrenlex: how would i go about that?
[09:00] <family> twb, I shal search google on that and see if it is video related as this mobo is full of sis products
[09:00] <Acain> ok.. i'll try - thanks guys
[09:00] <family> twb, that is network
[09:00] <arrenlex> dmc_: About what? xD
[09:01] <arrenlex> dmc_: Oh. I'm tired.
[09:01] <arrenlex> dmc_: gtksu gedit whateverfileitwas
[09:01] <dmc_> arrenlex: using gtksu?
[09:01] <dmc_> oh ok
[09:01] <arrenlex> dmc: Oh, that's gksu. Sorry, don't use gnome.
[09:01] <arrenlex> !gksu | dmc
[09:01] <ubotu> dmc: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use gksudo, as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Avoid ever using "sudo <GUI-application>"
[09:02] <arrenlex> Or gksudo. Wtf.
[09:02] <arrenlex> dmc_: Okay, so the final word is: "gksudo gedit whateverfileitwas"
[09:02] <Vorbote> nolimitsoya: Are you familiar with debian style packaging and pbuilder? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=packaging&titlesearch=Titles
[09:03] <wyld> can i change a primary partition to a logical partition
[09:03] <eQualizer> Could someone help me? I've set up VNC-server on my ubuntu installation, and now when I connect to it, it just shows a cross (cursor) and a black and gray background?
[09:03] <wyld> and keep the data
[09:03] <dmc_> arrenlex: after i type that it should open a gedit window correct?
[09:03] <nolimitsoya> Vorbote, im not planning on building packages anyway, or even using apt :) thegoal is to do away with package management all together :P
[09:03] <arrenlex> dmc_: Yes.
[09:03] <twb> eQualizer: you're using a new X session for the VNC connection
[09:04] <Vorbote> nolimitsoya: Then go Slackware, har!
[09:04] <dmc_> arrenlex: its not doin that for some reason, any thoughts?
[09:04] <twb> eQualizer: you want to connect to an already running desktop?
[09:04] <nolimitsoya> Vorbote, thats cheating :P im trying to learn here >_<
[09:04] <arrenlex> dmc_: Nope. You might try rebooting. Weird things have happened to me before that rebooting fixed.
[09:04] <eQualizer> twb: I don't know. I'm not sure do I have any X session running there or anything.
[09:04] <wyld> can i change a primary partition to a logical partition and keep the data on it?
[09:04] <Vorbote> nolimitsoya: BLFS, then!
[09:04] <ozzloy> what do i do here if i have an intel chip? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/InstallingCompiz#head-3146ebb224663865081b81f9b1206c3ed6f10bf1
[09:05] <eQualizer> I haven't been connected to a monitor in months.
[09:05] <twb> eQualizer: what, in your own words, are you trying to achieve?
[09:05] <eQualizer> twb: To be able to use gnome trough vnc.
[09:05] <dmc_> arrenlex: (gedit:6557): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
[09:05] <dmc_> Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.
[09:05] <ozzloy> i'm running compiz right now, opacity, switcher, works nicely.  want to make it the default environment
[09:06] <twb> eQualizer: do you want it to be the same session -- open windows and things -- for both VNC and using the machine directly?
[09:06] <arrenlex> dmc_: Sounds like your sudo is set up improperly. Have you touched the config? Can you run simple commands with sudo? "sudo echo hi"?
[09:06] <twb> eQualizer: (that is how VNC works under Windows)
[09:06] <dmc_> arrenlex: thats after typing gksudo gedit /usr/share/applications/Nessus.desktop
[09:06] <dmc_> arrenlex: echo worked
[09:07] <Merijn41> hi all
[09:07] <arrenlex> dmc_: I don't know, sorry. Again, you might try rebooting. Sometimes it magically fixes things.
[09:07] <arrenlex> !hi | Merijn41
[09:07] <ubotu> Merijn41: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[09:07] <twb> arrenlex: that's a depressingly microsoftian solution :-(
[09:07] <Merijn41> can I please play n00b for a minute? :)
[09:07] <eQualizer> twb: I think it doesn't matter. As I said, it isn't connected to a monitor or anything right now.
[09:07] <twb> eQualizer: I see.
[09:08] <arrenlex> twb: Don't I know it. But ubuntu is depressingly far removed from Linux.
[09:08] <wyld> what all do i need in the way of partitions to  install linux?
[09:08] <eQualizer> As long as it works. And maybe doesn't start from scratch everytime I connect?
[09:08] <twb> eQualizer: how are you starting the VNC server currently?
[09:08] <arrenlex> !x11vnc | eQualizer
[09:08] <ubotu> x11vnc: VNC server which uses your current X11 session. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.2-1 (edgy), package size 438 kB, installed size 1104 kB
[09:09] <twb> wyld: you need a partition, a POSIX-compatible filesystem on it, and a bootloader that can boot a Linux OS on that filesystem.
[09:09] <eQualizer> twb: I used this for setting the server up: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=122402
[09:09] <Acain> guys i just booted from the ubuntu installer cd and it also cannot see my ntfs partitions - so still i have a problem
[09:09] <eQualizer> arrenlex: I need to get that?
[09:09] <wyld> ok
[09:09] <wyld> thanks twb
[09:09] <arrenlex> eQualizer: I am suggesting it to you for your consideration. I only read like two lines of what you said. It may not be what you need at all.
[09:09] <wyld> twb: can i boot linux off an extended partition?
[09:10] <wyld> with grub
[09:10] <arrenlex> wyld: Yes
[09:10] <twb> I believe so, yes.
[09:10] <wyld> ok
[09:10] <wyld> thanks y'all
[09:10] <twb> wyld: I assume you're talking about peecee partition tables
[09:10] <wyld> huh?
[09:10] <wyld> noob here
[09:10] <twb> Macs, for example, don't have `extended' partitions.
[09:10] <arrenlex> wyld: He's assuming that you're on a PC, not a mac.
[09:11] <wyld> ohh
[09:11] <wyld> yeah
[09:11] <wyld> that's me
[09:11] <twb> If you mean something else by `extended', then I'm confused.
[09:11] <wyld> twb
[09:11] <wyld> twb: what else does extended mean?
[09:12] <twb> wyld: I don't know
[09:12] <twb> That's the point, really.
[09:12] <wyld> oh
[09:12] <wyld> i see
[09:12] <Acain> is there a kind of grub which allows u to boot and activate a partition and then allow u do an actuall boot from another cd - ultimatly allow u to boot from the 2nd cd into a dirrerent partition on the hdd
[09:13] <wyld> is 24 GiB enough for ubuntu?
[09:13] <twb> wyld: 24 GiB of what?
[09:13] <wyld> and lots of probrams
[09:13] <antmazO> ive used ubuntu before but forgot how to install all the packages for video codecs music and dvd playback whats the wiki page again
[09:13] <wyld> space
[09:13] <arrenlex> wyld: dem@sam:~$ df -H
[09:13] <arrenlex> Filesystem             Size   Used  Avail Use% Mounted on
[09:13] <arrenlex> /dev/sda5               21G   3.4G    17G  18% /
[09:13] <arrenlex> wyld: You be the judge ;)
[09:13] <twb> Ubuntu 'standard' requires about 200MB of disk space.  If you want graphics, you need a minimum of about 2GB.
[09:14] <MerijnB> I'm a total ubuntu n00b and trying to boot the live cd
[09:14] <wyld> hm
[09:14] <Vorbote> Acain: it is more a matter of having a BIOS that can help witht the magic. Grub *can* swap booting drives, but only if the BIOS let it.
[09:14] <MerijnB> but my lcd panel goes out of sync
[09:14] <wyld> lookd good to me arrenlex
[09:14] <MerijnB> is there any way to tell ubuntu to not go past 60 hZ?
[09:14] <wyld> looks that is
[09:14] <twb> MerijnB: boot it with vga=normal
[09:14] <MerijnB> tried, doesn't help
[09:14] <MerijnB> ow wait
[09:14] <arrenlex> wyld: this is after apt-get clean: /dev/sda5               21G   2.4G    18G  12% /
[09:15] <MerijnB> i didn't try that, will do rigth now
[09:15] <trinkolade> Merijn, should work iirc
[09:15] <twb> MerijnB: that might not work for after X starts
[09:15] <Acain> vorbote: i have 1 hdd with 3 parts 1:ubuntu 2:xp 3:hp recovery - need to boot from a cd and access part #2
[09:15] <twb> MerijnB: you could also try the `alternate' CD
[09:15] <wyld> arrenlex: can I change a primary partition to a logical one?
[09:15] <sya> man, i get pingout like every hour, is there any scripts or app i can use to keep my connection alive?
[09:15] <twb> wyld: no
[09:15] <SurfnKid> is there a way to modify my wireless mac address
[09:15] <sya> like to ping my connection every minute
[09:15] <arrenlex> wyld: I don't think you can directly... you could always make a logical partition of the same size and use dd, though.
[09:16] <twb> wyld: at least, not without a little fiddling.
[09:16] <wyld> twb: ok, good thing I din't try then
[09:16] <Vorbote> Acain: What you need is to access the BIOS and set the CD reader as first boot device
[09:16] <SurfnKid> does macchanger work on wireless or just wired
[09:16] <wyld> arrenlex: dd being...
[09:16] <Vorbote> Acain: you could do it with grun but that byzantine... :-)
[09:16] <MerijnB> twb, i'd just like to try the live cd without installing (yet)
[09:16] <arrenlex> wyld: dd does block-by-block copies of something to something else.
[09:16] <twb> wyld: when you install Ubuntu, it should offer to `just use my disk however you like.'
[09:16] <antmazO> any luck
[09:16] <twb> MerijnB: I don't know about that; sorry.
[09:17] <MerijnB> tx
[09:17] <Vorbote> s/grun/grub/, s/tat/that's/ (its 3:16am here ;-)
[09:17] <arrenlex> wyld: The simplest use is like a copy command. dd if=file.jpg of=file2.jpg
[09:17] <arrenlex> wyld: There are of course more advanced uses.
[09:17] <trinkolade> Merijn, there should be a safemode available at the screen with the boot options
[09:17] <Acain> vorbote: i can boot from the cd - i can't see my 2nd part from the bootcd
[09:17] <wyld> twb: I need to keep two partitions
[09:17] <arrenlex> wyld: Like dd if=/dev/sda of=abackupfile
[09:17] <arrenlex> wyld: And dd if=abackupfile of=/dev/sda
[09:17] <arrenlex> wyld: and dd if=floppyimage.img of=/dev/fda
[09:17] <twb> wyld: what I would do, then, is fire up gparted, delete all the partitiosn except the two you want to keep, and *then* run the installer
[09:17] <wyld> arrenlex: you're scaring this poor noob
[09:17] <Vorbote> Acain: can you see the partition with fdisk/cfdisk/parted/?
[09:17] <arrenlex> wyld: and what you want: dd if=/dev/sda3 of=/dev/sda4
[09:17] <twb> wyld: it should offer to `use free space as you see fit'
[09:18] <MerijnB> trinkolade: safemode didn't help
[09:18] <arrenlex> wyld: those commands all boil down to "block copy something to something else".
[09:18] <wyld> ohhhhhh, i think i see
[09:18] <antmazO> ive used ubuntu before but forgot how to install all the packages for video codecs music and dvd playback whats the wiki page again
[09:18] <arrenlex> wyld: This something and something else can be a file on the disk, a partition image, etc.
[09:18] <eQualizer> twb: So, do you have any url or some other tip how to connect to a X session?
[09:18] <Acain> vorbote: is that a command to be typed in the terminal screen? (/me not a linux guy)

[09:19] <Vorbote> Acain: yes, those are partitioners, that you should have available in the rescue cd.
[09:19] <arrenlex> wyld: where if is input file and of is output file.
[09:19] <twb> eQualizer: not easily, no
[09:19] <trinkolade> Merijn, mhmm...I don't remember the other options there so I can't really help you but you might be able to change the specifications to those that you need
[09:20] <eQualizer> twb: Okay...
[09:20] <Vorbote> Acain: it's a bit surprising that you can't see the partition from the booting cd. If you are booting linux that is.
[09:20] <antmazO> thanks
[09:20] <MerijnB> I've found some threads on the forums, but it's always on changing the config of an installed ubuntu
[09:20] <wyld> twb: I have a primary windows partition, a primary media partition, an unknown thingie (looks like a backup thingamajjiger that toshiba put on there) and i need to install ubuntu on the rest
[09:20] <MerijnB> don't have a disk where to install yet
[09:20] <MerijnB> just like to try the live cd
[09:20] <MerijnB> vga=normal doesn't seem to work btw
[09:21] <wyld> twb: the only problem is that i can only have 4 primary partitions
[09:21] <Acain> vorbote: i can see the linux and hp recovery parts
[09:21] <arrenlex> wyld: Why are you trying to convert one of those to a logical partition? You have three; you're allowed four.
[09:21] <wyld> i thought that i needed one for / and one for swap
[09:21] <dmc_> Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.
[09:21] <Mathew> On the first ubuntu screen with the Live CD and Alternate CD i can't go down to make any other selections or press F1 to F6 the Live CD will timeout and start but the install is freezing?
[09:21] <arrenlex> wyld: Make a new logical partition. Inside it, have / and swap.
[09:21] <Acain> maybe i need to do some thing like mount? but then again, i don't need to see ntfs part in ubuntu, i need to boot from a cd >to> the ntfs
[09:21] <dmc_> (gedit:6557): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
[09:21] <wyld> that is what i did
[09:21] <dmc_> Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.
[09:21] <trinkolade> Merijn, press F4 and choose one of the options that might fit mostly
[09:22] <arrenlex> wyld: And?
[09:22] <wyld> arrenlex: i'm thinking
[09:22] <MerijnB> trying
[09:22] <Vorbote> Acain: Aha. And you want to boot from linux? If using cfdisk, mark that partition as bootable and reboot. If you installed a bootloader when installing linux, it'll boot up in it automagically
[09:22] <MerijnB> I can only choose one :)
[09:22] <MerijnB> and it doesn't mention refresh rate
[09:23] <MerijnB> booting
[09:23] <pramz> I have a wierd issue. I have a machine in a VMWare VM. This virtual machine has 2 NIcs. eth0: 192.168.1.80 and eth1: 192.168.1.82. When I send packets to a certain IP, occasionally I get a response from the wrong nic. FOr example, I try to ssh to 192.168.1.82 and ssh is filtered, I get a response Connection Refused. Checking the logs, I see the response was through eth0 and not 1.
[09:23] <pramz> My question is, why is it that when I specify an IP it goes to the wrong NIC
[09:23] <wyld> arrenlex: with this extended partitions, will it be almost the same as five primary partitions
[09:24] <trinkolade> Merijn, if it doesn't help press F6 and deactivate the options splash and quiet by deleting them
[09:24] <trinkolade> Merijn, then boot again and watch the output
[09:24] <arrenlex> wyld: How do you figure that?
[09:24] <wyld> i dunno
[09:24] <arrenlex> wyld: Let's review.
[09:24] <MerijnB> ok, it's still booting from prev. try
[09:24] <wyld> yes lets
[09:24] <arrenlex> wyld: An extended partition is a primary partition.
[09:24] <wyld> is it
[09:24] <arrenlex> wyld: Inside an extended partition are "logical partitions". Linux can live on one of those. Windows cannot.
[09:24] <wyld> ohhh
[09:25] <arrenlex> wyld: You can have as many logical partitions as you like. Have 1284 if you like.
[09:25] <arrenlex> wyld: Primary partitions, only four.
[09:25] <Acain> vorbote: i want to boot from a cd - the cd boots - and expects to "hook on" to windows - for this it needs to see the ntfs part - its not seeing the ntfs part - i think the grub has hidden it
[09:25] <antmazO> i know what a good idea is to all the sudden stop using linux because you powersupply fried on your 2nd computer and then go back to windows haha
[09:25] <arrenlex> wyld: Ergo, you should end up with windows, media, toshiba and extended as your primaries, and / and swap as logics in your extended.
[09:25] <arrenlex> wyld: Make sense?
[09:26] <wyld> arrenlex: my god, the light turns on
[09:26] <wyld> i love you
[09:26] <Nameeater> how can I reset a session in edgy?
[09:26] <arrenlex> Don't drink, thanks.
[09:26] <arrenlex> Although it is my birthday today. I am 18.
[09:27] <Nameeater> because I always end up with the session window coming up
[09:27] <wyld> wow, i turned 18 im may
[09:27] <wyld> didn't know there were any people my age
[09:27] <arrenlex> Old people don't use Linux.
[09:27] <antmazO> drinking and working wtih linux it fun apt get beer.good
[09:27] <Acain> oh.. get off the net Arranlex - not a way to spend this day - greetings anyway!
[09:27] <Vorbote> Acain: that seems more a bug in your cd than anything... Can you try a different rescue thingy? (Chk distrowatch for alternatives)
[09:27] <wyld> lol
[09:27] <arrenlex> (very fast)
[09:28] <Acain> how old is old Arrenlex?
[09:28] <wyld> arrenlex: I hope that you enjoy your birthday, and that you are not in the continetal us
[09:29] <arrenlex> wyld: I have, and I'm not. Why?
[09:29] <wyld> arrenlex: cause if you are, it's wayyy late
[09:29] <arrenlex> 1:29 AM xD
[09:29] <wyld> 12 30 here
[09:29] <arrenlex> Speaking of which, I should go sleep.

[09:34] <trinkolade> Merijn, did it help?
[09:35] <trumpetmic> hi
[09:35] <MerijnB> nope
[09:35] <MerijnB> you didn't receive private message?
[09:35] <trinkolade> Merijn, no
[09:35] <NineTeen67Comet> help .. any zope/plone users in the room that've installed via apt-get (aptitude)? .. I've been racking my brain and the plone room trying to figure out where/how to get plone-site running (it says it's running fine vie /etc/init.d/zone2.9 restart) .. help?
[09:35] <MerijnB> too bad, some chaos here, would have been easier :)
[09:35] <trumpetmic> anyone: is there an easy way to get my second hard drive to display?
[09:36] <MerijnB> i tried without quiet and splash
[09:36] <MerijnB> it booted in text mode, but now is out of sync again
[09:36] <trinkolade> Merijn, and what does it say?
[09:36] <MerijnB> do I need to look for anything special in output?
[09:36] <NineTeen67Comet> trumpetmic: mount it in /media/ and it'll show up .. edit fstab accordingly ..
[09:36] <MerijnB> because it ends up out of sync, and I see a *lot* before that
[09:36] <trinkolade> Merijn, where did it stopped and what did it say?
[09:36] <trumpetmic> NineTeen67Comet: thanks.  I'll try that

[09:39] <trinkolade> Mathew, do you have a USB-Keyboard?
[09:39] <Mathew> yeah
[09:39] <trinkolade> Merijn, no, you have to remeber it somehow, try to remember the last message
[09:40] <MerijnB> nice challenge :)
[09:40] <seamus7> What are the standard drivers for video cards that installs with Edgy?
[09:40] <trinkolade> Mathew, you have to enable USB Legacy Support in your BIOS-Settings or better enable everything with USB in name
[09:41] <trinkolade> seamus7, the xorg-drivers
[09:41] <seamus7> trinkolade: do they generally support 3d?
[09:41] <trinkolade> seamus7, no, not really. You have to install the propritary drivers
[09:41] <seamus7> trinkolade: are you familiar with ati drivers?
[09:42] <Jani> hey, anyone about who can help a noob?
[09:42] <bun-bun> can anyone recommend a good tool for compressing wav files to flac?
[09:42] <trinkolade> seamus7, yes, somehow but there are good howtos on the internet. Try them first
[09:42] <trinkolade> bun-bun, ogg vorbis tools
[09:43] <Jani> anybody have any idea how to solve this? http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/1415/screenshotka3.png
[09:43] <trinkolade> bun-bun, or are they called vorbis-tools?
[09:43] <MerijnB> trinkolade: last line was 'starting gnome display manager' but I don't think that will help
[09:43] <nolimitsoya> bun-bun, the encoder in the 'flac' package should be just fine :)
[09:43] <seamus7> trinkolade: yeah i had my system using fglrx 8.28.8 but now the repository lists them at version 8.32.5 and my system is freezing with them .... my card isn't supported by the Radeon open source drivers so I'm at a loss as to what to do next
[09:43] <trinkolade> Merijn, no, but it isn't that bad, press f6 again and tell me what options there are
[09:44] <MerijnB> you mean f6 at boot menu, or when booted?
[09:44] <Vorbote> bun-bun: I agree with nolimitsoya. FLAC is the best

[09:48] <eviltwin> hi
[09:48] <eviltwin> I'm in need of some rather urgent help to do with my partitions
[09:48] <trinkolade> seamus7, modprobe -r fglrx and then modprobe fglrx again
[09:48] <eviltwin> can someone give me a hand moving and resizing my main partition?
[09:50] <trinkolade> eviltwin, first you have to resize the filesystem within the partition and after that you can resize the partition by deleting it and recreating it again
[09:50] <dnite> gah. can anyone help me out?? I have an MX900 bluetooth mouse. It works fine with ubuntu. usually. but for some reason, WHILE i was using it. the mouse just stopped moving and I can't get it to reconnect. hcitool scan will see the mouse. i can tell hcitool to cc to the mouse.. but it doesn't change anything. the bluetooth mouse just stopped working. anyone know why this would happen? i've tried restarting the bluetooth service and rebo
[09:50] <dnite> oting the computer.
[09:50] <trinkolade> Merijn, try adding fb=false to the option
[09:50] <trinkolade> s
[09:51] <MerijnB> tx, trying
[09:51] <eviltwin> trinkolade, as I'm aware (correct me if I'm wrong) you can only do that in order to expand the partition into space that is after it, I want to expand it into space that is before it
[09:51] <MerijnB> just curious, what stands fb for?
[09:52] <trinkolade> Merijn, framebuffer
[09:52] <MerijnB> tx
[09:52] <Vorbote> eviltwin: not possible, at least not invented yet.
[09:52] <trinkolade> eviltwin, yes, that's right. It makes it much more complicated
[09:53] <eviltwin> trinkolade, is there a way of doing it?
[09:53] <eviltwin> if I recall partition magic was able to MOVE the partition... could be wrong though
[09:53] <MerijnB> trinkolade, same problem
[09:53] <MerijnB> eviltwin, partition magic can indeed do  this
[09:54] <godtvisk1n> Hi, I'm trying to get my Logitech Quickcam Fusion to work. I installed the UVC drivers from linux-uvc.berlios.de, and then plugged in the device. dmesg says it is using the uvc drivers, but when I try to run camorama, it reports "Could not connect to video device (/dev/video0)" What can I do?
[09:54] <trinkolade> But it is a commercial software, isn't it?
[09:54] <MerijnB> yes
[09:54] <NineTeen67Comet> Little question on aptitude and apt-get .. does one know what the other has installed? .. say I install something with aptitude then fire up synaptic .. it doesn't see it so it doesn't know aptitude installed it?
[09:54] <Vorbote> Yes, partition magic can do it (I haven't used it, though)
[09:54] <eviltwin> MerijnB: Great, but partition magic refuses to run on vista (I dual boot RC1) and so I can't use it... any ideas?
[09:55] <MerijnB> bartpe cd?
[09:55] <trinkolade> yes theoretically it is possible but not with the tools like fdisk and mkfs iirc
[09:55] <eviltwin> never tried bartpe...
[09:55] <MerijnB> might be some work though

[09:57] <Vorbote> NineTeen67Comet: aptitude keeps track of some private data that allows it to do autoremoval suggestions. apt in ubuntu 6.6 has similar functionality in real-time. (Debian Sid, that is bleeding edge) has not enabled that functinality FWIW.

[09:59] <thefish> borg: try this: "sudo apt-get install apt-file" then "sudo apt-file update" then "apt-file search gtk+-2.0.pc"
[09:59] <eviltwin> MerijnB, gparted and gnuparted are no good, they can only expand the partition into space that is after it
[09:59] <eviltwin> which is not what I want
[09:59] <thefish> apt-file can tell you what package a certain file is in
[09:59] <eviltwin> :(
[09:59] <MerijnB> too bad
[10:00] <eviltwin> hmmm
[10:01] <Vorbote> borg: try searchinf for gtk+-2.0.pc in packages.ubuntu.com
[10:01] <MerijnB> eviltwin, try to get your hands on a windows xp cd
[10:01] <RememberPOL> Will fiesty include beryl standard?
[10:01] <borg> Vorbote, thefish: ok
[10:01] <MerijnB> trinkolade, using fb=false gives same problem
[10:01] <eviltwin> MerijnB, impossible under my current circumstance...
[10:02] <eviltwin> I'll guess that I'm gonna have to adapt my approach a bit
[10:02] <trinkolade> Merijn, mhmm, try as option vga=771
[10:02] <eviltwin> copy all my stuff to another computer and reinstall this one with a fresh copy of ubuntu
[10:02] <eviltwin> I was thinking about switching to the i386 version anyways
[10:02] <MerijnB> this one is nice too: http://www.regnow.com/softsell/nph-softsell.cgi?item=4864-20&affiliate=16087
[10:02] <MerijnB> afaik it boots from the cd itself
[10:03] <eviltwin> amd64 ubuntu just isn't quite finished enough
[10:04] <eviltwin> anyways, cheers for the suggestions... I'm off to go backup date :/
[10:04] <eviltwin> data*
[10:04] <eviltwin> cya
[10:04] <MerijnB> http://www.ranish.com/part/
[10:04] <MerijnB> too late :)
[10:04] <trinkolade> MerijnB, vga=771 as option, read this?
[10:04] <sc4ttrbrain> !libmtp
[10:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about libmtp - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:04] <Forgott3n> does anyone know how to install an IRC Server... how do I do it?
[10:04] <MerijnB> i'm reading
[10:05] <MerijnB> trying now
[10:05] <MerijnB> I assume it doesn't matter _where_ I put it in the options line?
[10:05] <trinkolade> Forgott3n, with gathering information first. You should find lots of information trough google.com. It might lead to sucess
[10:06] <trinkolade> Merijn, you can add defoptions= so it is valid for every boot entry
[10:06] <Forgott3n> ok, thank you
[10:06] <MerijnB> I don't understand that
[10:06] <MerijnB> what is defoptions?
[10:07] <MerijnB> vga=771 didn't help
[10:08] <trinkolade> Merijn, option for the default entries that aren't alternative one. Put it on the line where splash and quite is
[10:08] <borg> eh what does this mean
[10:08] <borg> ./configure: 1393: Syntax error: Bad fd number
[10:09] <EvilMike> Hey. I've decided to finally switch my main computer from a strictly windows system to a dual boot with linux as my main OS and windows just kept there for games and a few other things. I bought a new hard drive to install it on, because I'm too afraid to repartition my windows drive. I've never set up a system to dual boot before so I'm a little worried I might mess something up.
[10:09] <borg> god i hate it when people's install scripts mess up cause of the way they coded it
[10:09] <EvilMike> I read all the documentation for installing the ubuntu distro, but I'm just paranoid by nature, so I thought I'd come here and ask if there's anything I should watch out for.
[10:09] <EvilMike> as in what's the easiest way I can destroy my computer
[10:09] <Erb_> Can someone please tell me what the default download action is for WM files?
[10:09] <jumbers> So why aren't Apache and PHP at the latest versions?
[10:09] <harrisony1> EvilMike, you going for dapper or edgy
[10:10] <EvilMike> edgy, unless there's some reason I shouldn't. I haven't used ubuntu before, most of my experience with linux was with the red hat distro, years ago.
[10:10] <MerijnB> trinkolade, I can get to a text console (ctrl-alt-f1)
[10:10] <MerijnB> is there any way I can change the refresh rate from there?
[10:11] <harrisony1> um...i dont think you should be worried
[10:11] <jumbers> Does anybody know?
[10:11] <EvilMike> alright, I'm just a very paranoid person
[10:11] <harrisony1> when you install grub should recognize windows on the other hdd and include that but just make sure when installing to install on ya 2nd hdd
[10:12] <EvilMike> yeah. That would show up as hda2 right?
[10:12] <trinkolade> Merijn, yes, it should somehow. Is there a program called hwinfo?
[10:12] <MerijnB> which dir?
[10:13] <Erb_> Can someone please tell me what the default download action is for WM files?
[10:13] <harrisony1> EvilMike, either hda2 or sda2
[10:13] <trinkolade> Merijn, type 'sudo -s' and then whereis hwinfo
[10:13] <atarinox>  can somebody help with a flash-plugin question in firefox?
[10:13] <MerijnB> hwinfo not there
[10:13] <harrisony1> atarinox, yep
[10:14] <atarinox> i'm trying to install the flashplugin9 beta, but now when i  check my about:plugins page it shows up that i have 7 and 9  installed
[10:14] <trinkolade> Merijn, and sudo whereis hwinfo?
[10:14] <harrisony1> hmmm
[10:14] <harrisony1> did you install in the repositries or download and move atarinox
[10:14] <MerijnB> it outputs "hwinfo:"
[10:14] <atarinox> harrisony1: download and mv
[10:14] <atarinox> the flashbeta 9 file
[10:15] <NineTeen67Comet> Onkay .. I aptitude installed plone-site .. it handed my a username-password-port selection .. I assume I selected my old faithful info, but it just isn't starting up meaning I probibly gave it a strange port and didn't notice .. I tried aptitude reinstall plone-site zope2.9 .. and .. it just re-installed it .. no passwd/port user dialogue like last time .. how can I get it to re-install from scratch?
[10:16] <harrisony1> atarinox, delete it and make sure it isnt installed via the repository and then check it and see what it says and then try move it and restart ff
[10:16] <trinkolade> Merijn, okay, then it isn't included. What does dmesg outputs on the few last lines?
[10:16] <MerijnB> some entries on bluetooth
[10:16] <MenZa> !flash9 | atarinox
[10:16] <ubotu> atarinox: flash9 is available from dapper-backports and edgy-backports now, see !backports
[10:16] <atarinox> harrisony1: what dir should it be in?
[10:16] <MerijnB> last +- 8 lines
[10:16] <jumbers> I'd really like to know why Apache2 and PHP are outdated
[10:16] <harrisony1> um....
[10:17] <atarinox> /.mozilla/plugins?
[10:17] <harrisony1> jumbers, check the bug reports for thoes packages on launchpad
[10:17] <borg> ./configure: 1393: Syntax error: Bad fd number  <---- what does that mean? i went to the configure thing at line 1394 and all it says is echo "$VIDEODEV2H doesn't exist"
[10:17] <jumbers> Do you have a link?
[10:17] <harrisony1> atarinox, yep  i think
[10:17] <jumbers> Because I have no idea what launchpad is
[10:17] <harrisony1> http://launchpad.net
[10:17] <harrisony1> the ubuntu bug tracker
[10:18] <trinkolade> Merijn, nothing that sounds like graphic stuff? Look also at the sylog-output /var/log/syslog or /var/log/messages
[10:18] <harrisony1> launchpad is the bug,version control (i think) and groups manager so when you got a problem or a bug thats were you head
[10:19] <harrisony1> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaunchPad:Launchpad is a collection of services that assist in software development. Ubuntu uses it to manage its specifications, bugs, and other assorted things. LaunchpadHowTo describes how we do so.
[10:19] <jumbers> I see nothing about Apache2
[10:19] <harrisony1> jumbers, you want apache 2.0 or 2.2
[10:19] <jumbers> 2.2
[10:19] <harrisony1> jumbers, 1 sec
[10:20] <jumbers> Ok
[10:20] <MerijnB> i've got something halfway messages
[10:20] <MerijnB> on video, but not much
[10:20] <trinkolade> Merijn, could you upload them somewhere?
[10:20] <MerijnB> somw vesafb messages
[10:20] <harrisony1> atarinox, look in $HOME/.mozilla/plugins and then search synaptic for flashplayer-nonfree and uninstall/delete them then download and install again
[10:21] <MerijnB> let me try
[10:21] <MerijnB> http://www.xs4all.nl/~bosma/messages
[10:22] <MerijnB> http://www.xs4all.nl/~bosma/syslog
[10:22] <harrisony1> jumbers, deb http://johan.kiviniemi.name/ubuntu edgy apache
[10:22] <borg> ./configure: 1393: Syntax error: Bad fd number  <---- what does that mean? i went to the configure thing at line 1393 and all it says is echo "$VIDEODEV2H doesn't exist"
[10:22] <harrisony1> add that to your sources list
[10:22] <MerijnB> dmesg output aswel?
[10:22] <trinkolade> Merijn, if you want to, yes
[10:23] <MerijnB> http://www.xs4all.nl/~bosma/dmesg.txt
[10:25] <harrisony1> jumbers, did that repository help
[10:26] <trinkolade> Merijn, and the /var/log/Xorg.0.log please
[10:26] <MerijnB> one moment
[10:26] <MerijnB> can't find it
[10:27] <MerijnB> oops
[10:27] <MerijnB> typo
[10:27] <MerijnB> my mistake
[10:27] <jumbers> harrisony1: Yes, but what about PHP and MySQL?
[10:27] <harrisony1> php and mysql,hmmmmmm arnt they upto date
[10:28] <MerijnB> http://www.xs4all.nl/~bosma/Xorg.0.log
[10:28] <viller> how can I check what my default gateway is?
[10:28] <jumbers> No
[10:28] <jumbers> PHP 5 is behind and so is MySQL 5
[10:29] <mdious> viller:  ifconfig?
[10:29] <viller> mdious: can't find it there
[10:29] <viller> mdious: I only got ip and mask from ifconfig
[10:29] <MerijnB> interesting:

[10:29] <jumbers> Latest PHP 5 is 5.2.0 and MySQL 5.0.27 and the repos for Ubuntu are 5.1.6 and 5.0.24 respectively
[10:29] <MerijnB> that seems wrong
[10:29] <MerijnB> (II) I810(0): Monitor name: DELL 2007FP
[10:29] <MerijnB> is good though
[10:29] <firepol> somebody can point me to the ubuntu netinst ISO image? i cant find it, please help me, i know it exists somewhere on the web but i cant find it
[10:30] <harrisony1> net install i dont think you can
[10:30] <mdious> viller: just type route

[10:30] <mdious> it will show the routing table which will have the default gateway
[10:31] <MerijnB> is there any way to choose from one of these at boot menu?
[10:31] <gnomefreak> !paste | MerijnB
[10:31] <ubotu> MerijnB: 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 (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[10:31] <MerijnB> sorry, i'll stop
[10:32] <k_vv> hello...I'm trying to remove libgcc but it says that it will also remove apache2-common ,apache2-mpm-worker etc etc...how can I remove only gcclib ??
[10:32] <MerijnB> tried private messaging with trinkolade, but it didn't work...
[10:33] <viller> mdious: the ip address in ifconfig and route are different
[10:33] <viller> mdious: and the gateway is just a "*"?
[10:33] <firepol> harrysony1: i have it at home...
[10:33] <RichardC> since 6.10, GRUB has been able to boot into windows xp for me.  however, i've only tried it after starting GRUB with NTLDR, as explained in this tutorial: http://www.geocities.com/epark/linux/grub-w2k-HOWTO.html.  up until now, this has been the ONLY way to dual boot windows xp and linux on my machine.  is it safe to assume that GRUB will still be able to boot XP if i replace ntldr with it?
[10:33] <harrisony1> hmmm didnt know you could get a copy for at least edgy or dapper
[10:34] <RichardC> meaning, i use GRUB as my default bootloader?
[10:34] <firepol> why is it so difficult to find a netininst iso iage that i already downloaded at home?
[10:34] <firepol> im at work now i try to find it but no way<
[10:34] <harrisony1> for edgy? firepol
[10:34] <firepol> for edgy, yep
[10:34] <kane77> how can I bind a key to some program?
[10:34] <firepol> i installed a linux box a few days ago
[10:34] <Vorbote> RichardC: for at least a decade
[10:35] <trinkolade> Merijn, paste /etc/X11/xorg.conf somewhere please
[10:35] <firepol> harrysony1: maybe it wast for edgy, but it installed me edgy
[10:35] <viller> where can I check my gateway and name servers?
[10:35] <RichardC> no. like i said, GRUB could not boot windows xp on my machine up until the version that comes with 6.10
[10:35] <harrisony1> firepol, ill go look
[10:35] <firepol> so iu guess its for edgy or it has a smart way to get the last version?
[10:36] <RichardC> since it does work now, however, after starting GRUB through NTLDR, can i assume it will work with NTLDR completely out of the picture?
[10:36] <MerijnB> http://www.xs4all.nl/~bosma/xorg.conf
[10:36] <viller>  where can I check my gateway and name servers?
[10:36] <mdious> viller: are you on ppp?
[10:36] <mdious> if so then that is normal
[10:36] <viller> mdious: dhcp
[10:37] <mdious> and you will find the ip in route in ifconfig...anyway i'm off, good luck...well i hope i have given you the right info, best check with someone else
[10:37] <xipietotec> how do I change the default media player that firefox opens videos in? It opens youtube and such just fine, and it'll open links to video in mplayer just fine, but it tries to open certain types of embedded media in totem which just doesn't work
[10:37] <mdious> viller:  all the best
[10:37] <viller>  where can I check my gateway and name servers?
[10:37] <johnstar> does anyone know how to check for the existence of a website in terminal?
[10:37] <als> ping
[10:37] <viller> I tried route but "*" isn't a normal gateway isn't it
[10:38] <als> johnstar: try pinging
[10:38] <RichardC> Vorbote: i guess all i need to know is if NTLDR changes the mapping of my drives or does anything that would effect GRUB.  If not, then replacing NTLDR will not be a problem.
[10:38] <zdogde> hi
[10:38] <trinkolade> Merijn, try `sudo ddcprobe | grep monitorrange`
[10:39] <MerijnB> nothing(!)
[10:39] <MerijnB> i prolly did a typo
[10:39] <MerijnB> without grep, last line
[10:39] <viller>  where can I check my gateway and name servers?
[10:39] <MerijnB> monitorrange: 30-83, 56-76
[10:39] <MerijnB> 76 is wrong
[10:39] <MerijnB> should be 60
[10:39] <MerijnB> (i think)
[10:40] <firepol> harrysony: maybe i got the answer... i think the "network install" i used is the "server install"
[10:40] <firepol> the server install downloads packages from the network
[10:40] <zdogde> i have kubuntu 6.10 installed,  and a DELL Inspiron 6400. My DVD-Drive gets recognized, but i cant enable dma... I tried it with hdparm -d1 but it always says: "HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted". I also tried to add "piix" and "ide-core" to my modules  file, but this also didn't helped. May anyone help me? :)
[10:40] <harrisony1> viller, gksu network-admin
[10:40] <johnstar> I wrote a script to download strongbad email but I want it to know when to stop looping
[10:40] <harrisony1> firepol,  it might be hmmm
[10:40] <firepol> harrysony1: then it asks what i want, e.g. ubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop etc
[10:41] <firepol> but ill verify at home
[10:41] <firepol> harrysonY: if i find a netinst iso ill report it here coz im really getting crazy to find that cd
[10:41] <viller> harrisony1: I have DHCP so the fields are empty in network-admin
[10:41] <viller>  where can I check my gateway and name servers? On CLI
[10:41] <Vorbote> RichardC: no. What ntldr does is to load up the grub loader wherever partition you have installed it in. Rather than trying to replace ntldr, which f'ing widnowss makes a poing to depend on to the extent of wishing to gove BillG alead indigestion, I rather install grub to the primary partition where i dumped linux and make sure that partitio has the boot flag, using cfdisk or pater.
[10:42] <harrisony1> cli..errr i dont know
[10:42] <Yodude> hello guys
[10:42] <johnstar> is there a ping command that returns a simple y/n? for scripting?
[10:43] <Yodude> what's happening at the Greece server it's been down for like 12 hours it should be up by now if it's only maintenance
[10:43] <Yodude> it's ruining my ubuntu download
[10:43] <Vorbote> RichardC: s/parter/parted/ (still 4:43am ub these partd :-)
[10:43] <RichardC> thanks
[10:44] <Acain> i gave up - i reformatted my hdd - will install the whole thing again.. max 2 hrs.. ;(
[10:44] <trinkolade> Merijn, try to add to the monitor section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf the values above with the options HorizSync and VertRefresh and restart X with startx
[10:44] <trinkolade> Merijn, don't reboot
[10:44] <Yodude> hello?
[10:44] <MerijnB> how can I stop the running instance of X?
[10:44] <RichardC> Vorbote: another question.  using dd to create an image of the first 512 bytes on my hdd would backup the mbr, correct?
[10:44] <Yodude> does anybody know when the Greece server is gonna be up and running again?\
[10:45] <trinkolade> Merijn, kill -15 X
[10:45] <viller>  where can I check my gateway and name servers?
[10:45] <MerijnB> arguments must be process or jobs IDs
[10:45] <trinkolade> man signal
[10:45] <zdogde> does anybody know how i can enable DMA for my DVD-Drive? hdparm does not work and adding some modules to my modules file doesnt work too. :(
[10:45] <trinkolade> sry, Merijn, killall -15 X should work
[10:46] <MerijnB> strange, it says "no process killed"
[10:46] <MerijnB> like it isn't running
[10:46] <Yodude> help please!
[10:46] <trinkolade> Merijn, if not, try 'ps -C X'
[10:46] <Vorbote> RichardC: s/parter/parted/ (still 4:43am in these here  these partd :-) Yes, backing up the first 512 bytes ot he partition/disk will save the booting partition.
[10:46] <MerijnB> when I switch to console 7 though, my panel goes out of sync (like it's running there)
[10:46] <RichardC> thanks
[10:46] <MerijnB> nothing with ps
[10:47] <MerijnB> Xorg seems to be running on tty7 (is this possible)?
[10:47] <MerijnB> might be talking BS right no
[10:47] <MerijnB> w
[10:47] <Yodude> does anybody knnow about any problem at the Greece server?????
[10:48] <trinkolade> Merijn, there should be a number called pid, use it as argument for kill -15
[10:48] <MerijnB> just did that
[10:48] <MerijnB> but tty7 is still out of range (panel range)
[10:49] <johnstar> I want to learn bash does anyone know a good book? ( I got a Linux book from the discount book store for a 1$ but its old)
[10:49] <Vorbote> MerijnB: you are correct. tty7 is taken over by X
[10:49] <MerijnB> I think it's gone now
[10:49] <trinkolade> Merijn, then try startx now from tty1
[10:49] <MerijnB> i need some help with editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf though
[10:50] <trinkolade> Merijn, after you edit the .conf
[10:50] <MerijnB> (never got the hang of vi :| )
[10:50] <catalytic> hi all
[10:50] <trinkolade> Merijn, use nano instead
[10:50] <MerijnB> tx
[10:50] <catalytic> is it possible to have xubuntu running on a raid drive, and then have xp running on another IDE?
[10:50] <MerijnB> trinkolade, sorry, what is it I should add in the xorg.conf file exactly?
[10:51] <Vorbote> MerijnB: then try emacs. nano is for windows refugees. ;-)
[10:51] <trinkolade> there is a section called "Monitor"
[10:51] <MerijnB> vorbote, I'm afraid at this point I _am_ a windows refugee
[10:51] <MerijnB> trinkolade, yes
[10:51] <trinkolade> Merijn, found?
[10:51] <MerijnB> yes
[10:51] <Vorbote> MerijnB: nop, you are a windows exile.
[10:52] <f-bert> hello, after a update of my ubuntu edgy i could not login into gnome. i only see a scree in one color with a gray box in the upper left corner
[10:52] <MerijnB> is there much difference? :p
[10:52] <harrisony1> !sysinfo
[10:52] <ubotu> sysinfo: Simple GTK program that shows some UNIX/Linux system information. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.1-0ubuntu5 (edgy), package size 98 kB, installed size 512 kB
[10:52] <catalytic> what is sda in /dev?
[10:52] <harrisony1> catalytic, hard drive
[10:52] <catalytic> on secondary?
[10:52] <f-bert> scree = my screen
[10:53] <catalytic> the sda drive is now somehow my ubuntu driv
[10:53] <trinkolade> Merijn, add HorizSync on a new line  between Section and EndSection, and after it on the same line the rate range
[10:53] <viller> where can I find my default gateway?
[10:53] <catalytic> and the other drive i inserted is hdb
[10:53] <trinkolade> HorizSync    30-60, Merijn
[10:53] <catalytic> ifconfig viller?
[10:54] <catalytic> how can ubuntu boot ok if it is on sda, yet grub points to hd0,0 for the ubuntu install?
[10:54] <ELpH95o> whazup folks
[10:54] <trinkolade> then in a new line VertRefresh    value-value, Merijn
[10:54] <ELpH95o> anyone able to get billard-gl working in ubuntu?
[10:55] <ELpH95o> it like freezes and takes me to the gdm screen
[10:55] <Merijn> why is trinkolade talking to me
[10:55] <Merijn> I asked him nothing
[10:55] <MerijnB> he is talking to me
[10:55] <zak> catalytic: just different naming conventions
[10:55] <MerijnB>  :)
[10:55] <ELpH95o> on the game site it said that it has probs with ATI cards
[10:55] <camos> hello! i have some problems getting a lan connection between my ubuntu-comp. and win xp.. can anyone help?
[10:55] <Merijn> oh
[10:55] <Merijn> nvm then
[10:55] <ELpH95o> what video cards do work well in linux?
[10:55] <viller> Where can I find my gateway and name servers?
[10:55] <MerijnB> trinkolade, you know what values for refresh rate?
[10:55] <viller> Where can I find my gateway and name servers?
[10:55] <viller> Where can I find my gateway and name servers?
[10:55] <trinkolade> Merijn, oh, aren't you the same person? I'm sorry
[10:55] <MerijnB> lol
[10:55] <MerijnB> confusing
[10:56] <viller> how can noone know? I'm not the only one having an internet connection here
[10:56] <DarthLappy> !patience | viller
[10:56] <ubotu> viller: The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[10:56] <trinkolade> MerijnB, the one that you found out by using ddcprobe
[10:56] <MerijnB> this is one of the first times I couldn't use my name in an irc channel because already used :)
[10:56] <Merijn> well tough :P
[10:56] <Vorbote> catalytic: it is just a matter of interpretation. Grun has it own view of the the hardware, even if through the BIOS
[10:56] <ELpH95o> another thing ive noticed that some things lag in ubuntu like menus and stuff
[10:56] <ELpH95o> and i have a p4 1.something ghz
[10:57] <f-bert> can anybody help me? i could not login into gnome also after a clean install from live cd
[10:57] <MerijnB> got it
[10:57] <catalytic> ok, im reading up on how linux hard drive and partitions work
[10:57] <Merijn> afk again, good luck with ubuntu
[10:57] <ELpH95o> what you mean good luck with ubuntu?
[10:57] <MerijnB> tx!
[10:57] <MerijnB> trinkolade, ok done
[10:58] <trinkolade> MerijnB, then save it and run startx
[10:58] <MerijnB> does ^X save?
[10:58] <viller> patience? I normally get answers a lot quicker
[10:58] <viller> this is not a difficult question
[10:58] <ELpH95o> who here has a stable ubuntu box which all the packages work?
[10:58] <ELpH95o> heh
[10:59] <DarthLappy> viller: Maybe people are busy then?
[10:59] <trinkolade> Merijn, it asks you if it shall save or not when you use ^w
[10:59] <trinkolade> MerijnB, arghs, I meant you
[10:59] <huffy> !gcc
[10:59] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[10:59] <DarthLappy> viller: Now do you need to know where your gateway and nameservers are stored, or how to find them so that you can input them?
[10:59] <MerijnB> I think Merijn knows now :)
[10:59] <MerijnB> saved, starting X
[11:00] <viller> DarthLappy: I want to input them to network-admin
[11:00] <MerijnB> hmm, removeing lockfile first :)
[11:00] <MerijnB> fatal server error: no screens found
[11:00] <DarthLappy> viller: What sort of internet connection do you have?
[11:00] <MerijnB> hmmm, error parsing the config file
[11:00] <MerijnB> i f_cked up I guess
[11:01] <viller> DarthLappy: DHCP
[11:01] <MerijnB> trinkolade, tx so far, I have to do something else now (bummer!)
[11:01] <camos> hello! i have some problems getting a lan connection between my ubuntu-comp. and win xp.. can anyone help? problem is, that i cant browse ubuntu-computers harddrives from my windows-computer - what should i do?
[11:01] <viller> DarthLappy: I just want a static IP
[11:01] <MerijnB> I'll try more later
[11:01] <trinkolade> Merijn, no, wait
[11:01] <MerijnB> o
[11:01] <MerijnB> k
[11:01] <trinkolade> arghs...
[11:01] <MerijnB> quick :)
[11:02] <MerijnB> I'll have to make a phone call, might be less responsive :0
[11:02] <trinkolade> MerijnB, add -- :1 to startx
[11:02] <karakara> yahbuntew
[11:02] <DarthLappy> viller: Okay, well if your network interface is already working with DHCP, you can look it /etc/resolv.conf for the nameserver(s), and take a look at the 'route' command for the gateway.
[11:02] <camos> everything else works in connection between them
[11:02] <MerijnB> do I need to put the values between "" in xorg.conf?
[11:03] <viller> DarthLappy: the route command gives me "*" as gateway
[11:03] <MerijnB> startx --:1 gives same error
[11:03] <trinkolade> Merijn, no, not as far as I know. It would also print the line if it really found a problem on this line
[11:03] <DarthLappy> viller: It should be for the default destination.
[11:03] <MerijnB> wait it does!
[11:03] <trinkolade> MerijnB, does it talk about screen 0 or screen1?
[11:03] <MerijnB> HoriSync is wrong
[11:04] <trinkolade> HoriZ
[11:04] <MerijnB> (english not native language) tx!
[11:04] <MerijnB> is it HorizSync?
[11:04] <trinkolade> mine neither ;D, MerijnB
[11:04] <viller> DarthLappy: "speedtouch.lan" :D
[11:04] <kane77> how can I only download the package (not install it) from command line?
[11:04] <trinkolade> yes, MerijnB
[11:04] <DarthLappy> viller: Try route -n
[11:05] <MerijnB> dmn, still out of range!
[11:05] <ELpH95o> xmms just crashed when i did doublesize WTF
[11:05] <ELpH95o> is edgy supposed to be stable or something?
[11:05] <catalytic> can someone please explain how grub uses this notation?
[11:05] <catalytic>  root (hd0,1)
[11:06] <MerijnB> vertrefresh is now 57-67
[11:06] <f-bert> i also could not start gnome programms if i use fluxbox
[11:06] <MerijnB> should that be 56-60 ?
[11:06] <catalytic> that means mount the 2nd primary partion on the first hard drive as root ?
[11:06] <f-bert> it looks for me like a bug
[11:06] <viller> DarthLappy: thanks I now have two addresses, one of them is just zeros
[11:06] <trinkolade> MerijnB, don't know, it depends on the capabilities of your monitor
[11:06] <MerijnB> it's an lcd screen (means refresh rate of 60hZ)
[11:06] <DarthLappy> viller: I'm guessing the one of all zeroes isn't the right one ^-^
[11:07] <MerijnB> dunno if that is horiz or vertical
[11:07] <catalytic> if i have windows installed on partition1 of /dev/hdb1
[11:07] <catalytic> what will i use in grub?
[11:07] <kane77> I'm trying to install on a computer without internet connection....
[11:07] <kane77> how can I only download the package (not install it) from command line +  download all the dependencies?
[11:07] <catalytic> to tell it where root is?
[11:07] <viller> DarthLappy: but the other one's Destination is all zeroes :D
[11:07] <viller> DarthLappy: also it's mask is all zeroes
[11:07] <catalytic> there is a switch kane77
[11:08] <catalytic> man apt-get
[11:08] <DarthLappy> viller: Oh right, that's the default, sorry. I didn't actually run the command myself :)
[11:08] <ELpH95o> how do i use patches?
[11:08] <f-bert> where can i go with my problem?
[11:08] <ELpH95o> like i found a patch to fix the xmms doublesize problem
[11:08] <MerijnB> trying now with 56-60
[11:08] <MerijnB> nope, out of sync
[11:09] <huffy> does anyone have problems installing ubuntu with ATI card?
[11:09] <ELpH95o> (btw im a linux newbie)
[11:09] <ELpH95o> huffy:i have trouble with some games with a old ati card
[11:10] <huffy> ive got brand new laptop and it wont install
[11:10] <viller> DarthLappy: so I use the zeroes?
[11:10] <trinkolade> MerijnB, try `ddcprobe | grep modelines`
[11:10] <huffy> the screen just goes blank and i have to restart
[11:10] <DarthLappy> viller: The line with the destination of all zeroes has some normal address in the gateway field?
[11:10] <MerijnB> btw, x seems to quit by itself after a while
[11:11] <ELpH95o> I want Ubuntu to be a bit more stable :)
[11:11] <ELpH95o> he
[11:11] <viller> DarthLappy: yes
[11:11] <ELpH95o> well actually it's not the os it's the programs and code
[11:11] <DarthLappy> viller: That'd be your gateway then.
[11:11] <viller> DarthLappy: ok thank you
[11:11] <DarthLappy> viller: No probs.
[11:11] <ELpH95o> how do i apply  a .diff file patch?
[11:11] <trinkolade> ELpH95o, man diff
[11:12] <DarthLappy> trinkolade: And man patch?
[11:12] <viller> DarthLappy: should I now restart networking somehow (I changed stuff in network-admin)?
[11:12] <MerijnB> trinkolade, modelines does not appear in the output of ddcprobe
[11:12] <MerijnB> there are a lot of lines which start with mode: :)
[11:12] <DarthLappy> viller: I don't know the right way to do that in Ubuntu ^_^
[11:12] <trinkolade> DarthLappy, ye :D
[11:12] <DarthLappy> viller: But yes, you should.
[11:12] <kane77> catalytic, and where are they stored??
[11:13] <trinkolade> MerijnB, and modeline without the s?
[11:13] <MerijnB> nothing
[11:14] <MerijnB> www.xs4all.nl/~bosma/ddcprobe.txt
[11:14] <ELpH95o> trinkolade: i'm a newbie.i have short attention span
[11:14] <h0ndaracer2> where can i get Mandriva Flash at
[11:14] <h0ndaracer2> for free
[11:14] <DarthLappy> ELpH95o: Do you have the source code for what you are trying to patch available?
[11:14] <ELpH95o> i dont know how to get sources off the apt repositories
[11:14] <catalytic> where are what stored?
[11:14] <catalytic> kane77
[11:14] <catalytic> where are what stored?
[11:15] <viller> DarthLappy: the restart gave me errors but google comes up when I start firefox :)
[11:15] <ELpH95o> the package managing stuff is wierd..like someone took some acid o0r something lol
[11:15] <DarthLappy> viller: What sort of errors?
[11:15] <kane77> catalytic, sorry... the packages downloaded with apt-get -d option
[11:15] <syock> I can`t print Japanese PDF. They`ll display fine in evince, thanks to xpdf-japanese, but I can`t solve the ps/gs problem
[11:16] <viller> DarthLappy: who cares if it works :D
[11:16] <DarthLappy> viller: True.
[11:17] <ELpH95o> i still dont know how to apply the xmms patch
[11:17] <DarthLappy> ELpH95o: patch -p0 < patchfile.diff
[11:18] <DarthLappy> ELpH95o: But you'll need the source ^_^
[11:18] <ELpH95o> didnt work
[11:18] <DarthLappy> ELpH95o: Elaborate?
[11:18] <trinkolade> MerijnB, I need go to bed, I'm really tired. You might need to use modelines for your monitor which force X to use the mode that it desscribes, there should be a wiki-entry for that.
[11:18] <trinkolade> !wiki
[11:18] <ubotu> wiki is http://wiki.ubuntu.com - Loads of user-contributed documentation
[11:18] <ELpH95o> im trying to fix the xmms doublesize bug
[11:18] <MerijnB> I'll loo kfor that
[11:18] <MerijnB> thanks for all yoru help so far!
[11:18] <DarthLappy> ELpH95o: How didn't it work?
[11:18] <MerijnB> sleep tight
[11:18] <MerijnB> thight
[11:18] <trinkolade> !tell wiki MerijnB
[11:18] <ELpH95o> it like crashes when i try to doublesize xmms and like eim trying to patch it while stoned
[11:19] <Zaggynl> I put my usb hdd in fstab, but it doesn't mount at boot
[11:19] <ELpH95o> i did patch -p0 < xmms.diff
[11:19] <melon> ok.. excuse my stupidity if it's shown.. i'm kinda new to ubuntu (still) - anyway.. just bought a new phone.. plugs into my pc via usb - comes with drivers (for windows) - ubuntu doesn't popup with anything when i plug the phone in.. should it? my Q though.. is "what the hell do i do to get it working"?
[11:19] <Zaggynl> if I do a manual sudo mount -a it gets mounted, why?

[11:19] <ELpH95o> there were n o instructions
[11:19] <trinkolade> MerijnB, thx, gn8, wiki.ubuntu.com for more information
[11:19] <ELpH95o> do i have to do like alot of reading in linux to get a good studio running?
[11:20] <ELpH95o> that'z my goal in linux to have a good os for music production/recording
[11:20] <h0ndaracer2> what are good sites that have big list of linux distros and downloads of the os
[11:20] <MerijnB> elph950, I don't know of good linux apps for audio recording
[11:20] <ELpH95o> ubuntu has the ap pz
[11:20] <ELpH95o> i know of the good appz
[11:20] <DarthLappy> MerijnB: Audacity \o/
[11:20] <ELpH95o> i just need to get them all running in a stable environment :)
[11:20] <ELpH95o> heheh
[11:20] <MerijnB> darthlappy, audacity is a nice try :)
[11:21] <ELpH95o> i like rosegarden and csound and jack
[11:21] <ELpH95o> i like how all of the audio stuff interconnects and shit
[11:22] <ELpH95o> one question though was Edgy meant to be a stable release?
[11:22] <DarthLappy> !language | ELpH95o
[11:22] <ubotu> ELpH95o: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[11:22] <ELpH95o> if it was meant to be stable ...
[11:22] <trinkolade> ELpH95o, I've never used it but ardour.org might be useful
[11:22] <ELpH95o> yah i know about ardour
[11:22] <ELpH95o> i just cant get them all working in ubuntu
[11:23] <ELpH95o> i read about them in 'zines though
[11:24] <leafw> any people using apple laptops here
[11:24] <qsdfghjk> hello guys, does anyone know what program do i use (and, how) to open split rar archives ? (eg x.r01 -> x.r34)
[11:24] <leafw> can't get second display to work properly (remains inside the laptop screen, scrollable)
[11:24] <ELpH95o> ive noticed alot of bugs in ubuntu edgy
[11:24] <zak> ELpH95o: don't know if it'll be of any use, or if i should say it in #ubuntu ;), but there is a distro called DeMuDi that's specifically tailored to audio stuff... but it's probably not the best everyday desktop distro too
[11:24] <delta> Does there exist a list of packages accepted in edgy-proposed somewhere?
[11:25] <ELpH95o> not lookin for a everyday desktop distro
[11:25] <ELpH95o> i use my computer ONLY for music production
[11:25] <ELpH95o> and the only net stuff i do is irc and a few web sitez
[11:25] <ELpH95o> i hate using websites
[11:25] <kane77> how do I make xubuntu auto mount my usbdisk??
[11:25] <Zaggynl> I want to know too
[11:26] <Zaggynl> I put mine in fstab, but it doesn't get mounted at boot
[11:26] <ELpH95o> something that will just turn my pc into a music production computer
[11:26] <zak> you might want to google for demudi then
[11:26] <Zaggynl> a manual 'sudo mount -a' does
[11:26] <analVortex[omg] > hi
[11:26] <MerijnB> is there any linux audio app which can use vst plugins?
[11:26] <ELpH95o> rosegarden
[11:26] <analVortex[omg] > guys can i use... windows programsw with ubuntu ?
[11:26] <ELpH95o> i hear can do that
[11:26] <analVortex[omg] > 32 bit programs?
[11:26] <ELpH95o> there's stuff that's even better than commercial vst's available for linux
[11:26] <MerijnB> I'm looking on rosegarden website
[11:26] <ELpH95o> yah
[11:26] <zak> analVortex[omg] : some/many... look for "wine"
[11:26] <ELpH95o> rosegarden
[11:27] <kane77> analVortex[omg] , well you can.. not all though
[11:27] <analVortex[omg] > what is wine ?
[11:27] <ELpH95o> the windows emulator thingie
[11:27] <analVortex[omg] > i mean .. the Drivers i use?
[11:27] <DarthLappy> ELpH95o: Wine Is Not an Emulator :D
[11:27] <zak> analVortex[omg] : google it... there's some stuff in the ubuntu wiki about it, but dunno of the link
[11:27] <kane77> analVortex[omg] , wine is not emulator (thats what WINE stands for)
[11:28] <analVortex[omg] > well i need 2 know if i can run 1. Radeon ati drivers 2. internet 3. DX 9.0c
[11:28] <zak> uh, no idea about drivers
[11:28] <ELpH95o> like i could hardly care much bout gamez one of my friendz i works with has a setup done by someone and its made just for music production
[11:28] <ELpH95o> and it's fast and rocks
[11:28] <zak> DX9 - i highly doubt it [though never know :)] 
[11:28] <DarthLappy> analVortex[omg] : Radeon drivers will be a Linux thing. Internet is a Linux thing. Why would you need DX?
[11:28] <ELpH95o> perfect for recording dj sets,etc.
[11:28] <zak> and define "internet"?
[11:28] <analVortex[omg] > dx = for games
[11:29] <DarthLappy> analVortex[omg] : Try something like Cedega for gaming.
[11:29] <incorrect> other than writing a little script,  is there a way to tar xzvf *.tar.gz ?
[11:29] <DarthLappy> incorrect: Just like that.
[11:29] <analVortex[omg] > what best operation system? for gaming/internet?
[11:29] <analVortex[omg] > i dont like xp..
[11:29] <incorrect> err
[11:29] <zak> analVortex[omg] : gaming - XP. internet - anything.
[11:29] <klerfayt> how do I create one rar of part1.rar, part2.rar, part3.rar and part4.rar?
[11:29] <harrisony1> !benchmarking
[11:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about benchmarking - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:29] <ELpH95o> analVortex[omg]  all os's are good
[11:30] <harrisony1> !benchmark
[11:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about benchmark - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:30] <incorrect> i just get loads of errors
[11:30] <zak> analVortex[omg] : it's a sad truth, but most/many high end games only run on windows
[11:30] <ELpH95o> when they work
[11:30] <ELpH95o> ive lost faith in computer recording
[11:30] <ELpH95o> the amiga made it so easy
[11:30] <Zaggynl> analVortex[omg] , Windows XP, and later on Windows Vista, not much game devs make games for Linux
[11:30] <analVortex[omg] > and what the stable system every made?
[11:30] <DarthLappy> incorrect: Such as?
[11:31] <Zaggynl> analVortex[omg] , ..what?
[11:31] <incorrect> Not found in archive
[11:31] <incorrect> tar:  file: Not found in archive
[11:31] <analVortex[omg] > what should i download.. for    internet/and programing ?
[11:31] <zak> analVortex[omg] : any linux distro almost is great for internet and programming
[11:32] <analVortex[omg] > ubuntu is linux?
[11:32] <incorrect> analVortex[omg] : no its windows
[11:32] <zak> analVortex[omg] : yes
[11:32] <harrisony1> are there any decent benchmarking progs for linux
[11:32] <incorrect> harrisony1: crashme
[11:32] <analVortex[omg] > so what  easiest linux distro for use?
[11:32] <analVortex[omg] > ubuntu ?
[11:32] <harrisony1> !crashme
[11:32] <ubotu> crashme: Stress tests operating system stability. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.4-6 (edgy), package size 15 kB, installed size 84 kB
[11:32] <harrisony1> analVortex[omg] , yep
[11:33] <incorrect> analVortex[omg] : depends on your nature, and what you want from it
[11:33] <DarthLappy> incorrect: I don't see why that would be an error related to tar zxvf *.tar.gz .  Maybe something is wrong with one of the archives?
[11:33] <Zaggynl> Can anyone help me with this: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1938954 ?
[11:33] <incorrect> DarthLappy: do them one at a time its fine
[11:33] <analVortex[omg] > i want it for..  movies, internet, working, progaming
[11:34] <DarthLappy> incorrect: Hmm, well I'm not sure then :) I don't have a bunch to test with.
[11:34] <incorrect> analVortex[omg] : err well linux isn't great at movies really,
[11:34] <DarthLappy> analVortex[omg] : What language do you program in?
[11:34] <analVortex[omg] > but where i can find drivers for ubuntu ?
[11:34] <harrisony1> analVortex[omg] , for movies?
[11:34] <analVortex[omg] > i mean for card,sound
[11:34] <analVortex[omg] > etc
[11:34] <incorrect> analVortex[omg] : drivers for what
[11:34] <analVortex[omg] > motherboard
[11:34] <DarthLappy> analVortex[omg] : They should all install by default.
[11:34] <analVortex[omg] > but default is not best
[11:34] <incorrect> analVortex[omg] : what hardware do you have
[11:35] <holycow> analVortex[omg, all drivers are built in.  if they don't come with the distro they don't exist
[11:35] <analVortex[omg] > amd  2800 xp,  1 gb ddr , ati radeon 9800 pro
[11:35] <incorrect> analVortex[omg] : you will be fine
[11:35] <DarthLappy> analVortex[omg] : It's Linux.  Linux isn't Windows.  Make your own drivers if you don't like it.
[11:35] <incorrect> that is very common
[11:35] <holycow> with the exception of ait and nvidia drivers, but those are packaged for you too
[11:35] <analVortex[omg] > ubuntu is more stable then xp ?

[11:36] <incorrect> analVortex[omg] : if you have a clean system ubuntu will install cleanly from the CD
[11:36] <zak> analVortex[omg] : definitely... xp is fairly damn insecure and unstable... you don't need to worry about viruses on linux
[11:36] <incorrect> analVortex[omg] : depends on your perspective,  microsoft would disagree

[11:37] <incorrect> analVortex[omg] : even though i think you are trolling,  if you are serious, best way to learn anything is by doing,
[11:37] <holycow> its not like ubuntu costs you anything.  install it on something
[11:37] <incorrect> there is no try, do
[11:37] <analVortex[omg] > dude wtf,, i am damn serious i am downloading ubuntu
[11:37] <analVortex[omg] > 6.10 atm
[11:37] <holycow> analVortex[omg] , just make sure you research that your hardware is supported ahead of time
[11:37] <holycow> analVortex[omg] , cool :) welcome to ubuntu

[11:38] <incorrect> with a name like analVortex[omg]  does anyone think he might not be trolling?

[11:38] <analVortex[omg] > i dont know even how make dial up in ubutun
[11:38] <analVortex[omg] > l;ol
[11:38] <holycow> analVortex[omg] , the problem with the question 'is linux more stable than windows xp'  ... technically the answer is yes
[11:38] <holycow> the problem is that if you get a not too bright user they can screw up everything
[11:38] <incorrect> linux is not for everyone
[11:38] <DarthLappy> holycow: Or if you're a bright Windows user you can have a stable system :P

[11:39] <analVortex[omg] > lol
[11:39] <analVortex[omg] > in linux
[11:39] <holycow> an operating system is a tool, a very very complicated tool and requires high degree of skill to properly use
[11:39] <incorrect> sorry what i mean is, unix systems are not for everyone

[11:40] <incorrect> that hardware was so new at the time the driver was not great
[11:41] <incorrect> if you have a 2+ year old computer you are seriously unlikely to have any issues

[11:56] <peepus> okey doke, having probs upgrading from hoary hedgehog to edgy
[11:56] <Theodor> Greetings.
[11:56] <Naik0> i need an vmw codec
[11:56] <Naik0> wmv*
[11:56] <peepus> getting this error: http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/1415/screenshotka3.png
[11:58] <peepus> any ideas?
[11:58] <Theodor> I'm having a problem installing Ubuntu on my laptop, any help please?
[11:58] <DarthLappy> peepus: Did you change your repositories to those of Edgy? Doesn't look like it.
[11:59] <SubMOA> can someone please tell me how to check my CPU temperature from the command line?
[11:59] <fromvega> Hello!
[11:59] <fromvega> I have a local network that connects to the internet through a linux gateway/proxy running Ubuntu/Iptalbes/Squid. The linux gateway is connected directly to an adsl router. I want to make an apache server in the internal network visible to the internet on port 7777. How should I do? I suppose I need to set iptables to redirect tcp requests on port 7777 to the specific machine, is it right?
[11:59] <Naik0> Where is mplayer located?
[12:00] <mwe> !info mplayer
[12:00] <ubotu> mplayer: The Ultimate Movie Player For Linux. In component multiverse, is extra. Version 2:0.99+1.0pre8-0ubuntu8 (edgy), package size 3461 kB, installed size 8624 kB
[12:00] <peepus> DarthLappy: no, the guide doesn't mention too
[12:00] <Naik0> i got it installed but where is it installe
[12:00] <mwe> Naik0: the codecs?
[12:00] <peepus> what are the addresses for the edgy repositories?
[12:00] <Naik0> non the player
[12:00] <Naik0> no no
[12:00] <Naik0> the player
[12:01] <mwe> Naik0: what part of it?
[12:01] <mwe> Naik0: just the binary?
[12:01] <Naik0> i need to locate it, ive installed a plugin for mozilla
[12:01] <Naik0> yes
[12:01] <mwe> Naik0: /usr/bin/
[12:01] <DarthLappy> peepus: Oh? Well I think you need to change your repos to edgy ones and then dist-upgrade, or something along those lines?
[12:01] <rpereira> peepus: archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy
[12:01] <peepus> ok i'll reboot into ubuntu and give it a shot
[12:01] <peepus> thanks
[12:02] <Theodor> Guys, what should I do install Ubuntu on my laptop? It seems that it's not compatible with my hardware. I tried to install it on my desktop, and it worked fine "The install that is", but each time I try on my laptop, it just refuses to work.
[12:02] <mwe> !upgrade
[12:02] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[12:02] <SubMOA> i had the same problem theodor
[12:02] <SubMOA> i didn't want the headache, so I've just put it off
[12:02] <Theodor> hehe.
[12:02] <SubMOA> waiting for a Lenovo notebook
[12:03] <Theodor> I'm dying to make it work ;p
[12:03] <Theodor> I've been waiting for soo long.
[12:03] <Theodor> Month++
[12:03] <Theodor> Do you know what's the problem exactly?
[12:03] <Theodor> and if there is a way to fix it?
[12:03] <SubMOA> i'm very new, though, so my advice is not sage, but if it doesn't work well from the live CD, you are going to have TONS of headaches
[12:03] <Zambezi> Anyone here using Live on XBOX360?
[12:04] <Theodor> I downloaded the DVD version *Sighs*
[12:04] <SubMOA> theodor, I'm pretty sure if you have interent (that is, the internet works right out of the box, per sai) you can USUALLY get (although I'm not sure how easily) most of the ddriver's you would need
[12:04] <Theodor> Any of the helpers in here?
[12:04] <SubMOA> theodor, haha, tough break... you can get the CD one easily enough, though, no?
[12:04] <Theodor> The problem is not with drivers, I mean it's not installing at all ...
[12:05] <SubMOA> theodor, oh, holy moley
[12:05] <Theodor> It's not available in my country
[12:05] <SubMOA> *runs away*
[12:05] <SubMOA> you can't download it from an internet sight?
[12:05] <Theodor> I have an 8 kbps connection ... waht do you think ?
[12:06] <Enselic> I have a DHCP problem, Windows XP can grab an IP with no problems, but Ubuntu Edgy fails (this is from a cable modem). What could this be?
[12:06] <SubMOA> Do you have a lot of coffee?
[12:06] <Naik0> where should i put my mplayer codecs?
[12:06] <SubMOA> theodor, just kidding
[12:06] <Theodor> *Sighs*
[12:06] <Theodor> I really want it to work man
[12:06] <SubMOA> submoa, have you checked the BIOS?
[12:06] <Theodor> are you talking with yourself ;p ?
[12:06] <SubMOA> haha, maybe
[12:07] <SubMOA> also, let me check the web... I thought I saw something where you could get a CD by mail for free
[12:08] <mwe> Enselic: misconfigured interface maybe?
[12:09] <mwe> Naik0: /usr/lib/win32 is where the w32codecs package intalls them
[12:10] <raphink> hi guys
[12:10] <raphink> does anyone have an idea how to keep the quotes in an input variable in bash? That is, if $1, $2, $@ etc. contain quotes, they are removed but I need to keep them
[12:10] <k_vv> how to remove libgcc1 without removing other packages ??
[12:11] <mwe> raphink: escape them
[12:11] <raphink> mwe: this it not an option, as it breaks reverse compatibility
[12:11] <mwe> raphink: then you can't
[12:11] <SubMOA> theodor, https://shipit.ubuntu.com/
[12:11] <raphink> no set option or so?
[12:11] <mwe> raphink: readline interprets the quotes
[12:11] <SubMOA> Theodor, also, http://free.thelinuxstore.ca/
[12:11] <k_vv> anybody ?
[12:12] <SubMOA> not quick, but I bet you'll get them
[12:12] <raphink> :(
[12:12] <Enselic> mwe: I have some experience with networking, could it be some obscure problem? It is working at another DCHCP server (a router at my home)
[12:12] <raphink> alright I'll have to do it another way then
[12:12] <raphink> thanks anyway mwe :=)
[12:12] <raphink> :)
[12:13] <dac_> can someone help me?
[12:13] <mwe> Enselic: hmm. the same interface is working with another dhcp server?
[12:13] <mwe> Enselic: paste /etc/network/interfaces on paste.ubuntu-nl.org and I'll see if I can spot anything
[12:13] <Enselic> mwe: yep
[12:14] <dac_> Hi, can someone help me?
[12:14] <DarthLappy> !ask | dac_
[12:14] <ubotu> dac_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:14] <dac_> ok :D
[12:14] <mwe> Enselic: go ahead and paste it on paste.ubuntu-nl.org. then paste the URL to your paste here
[12:15] <Enselic> mwe: sure
[12:15] <tiredbones> I'm getting ready to install  ubuntu on my daughter's  inspiron  1501, but in checking with google i notice many people are having problems with recognizing thier hard drive.  has this been fix with edge? What iso image should I down load?
[12:15] <dac_> im getting problems when i press CTRL+ALT+F1 and try to login
[12:16] <DarthLappy> dac_: Such as?
[12:16] <dac_> the console just ask for the login name
[12:16] <mwe> tiredbones: use the live cd iso
[12:16] <tiredbones> thanks mwe.
[12:17] <mwe> tiredbones: then go ahead and boot it. come back if it doesn't recognize the hdd
[12:18] <DarthLappy> dac_: Err, isn't that what it's meant to do? :)
[12:18] <mwe> dac_: what did you expect? it sounds normal
[12:18] <SubMOA> theodor, also, i did some math, waiting (I think) 2.7 years to download is probably worse than getting it shipped!
[12:19] <mwe> SubMOA: ;)
[12:19] <mwe> SubMOA: where do you live?
[12:19] <dac_> but i cant type the pass cause it asks only for the login name
[12:19] <mwe> dac_: you can but it's not ecchoed
[12:20] <Enselic> mwe:   http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39137/    (transcibed)
[12:20] <mwe> dac_: it looks like it's not getting accepted but it is. just type the pw and then return
[12:20] <Martiini> how do I force aptitude dist-upgrade ... even if it would break my system
[12:20] <dac_> its like "Ubuntu 6.10 dac tty1, dac login: dac ... Ubuntu 6.10 dac tty1, dac login: dac ...Ubuntu 6.10 dac tty1, dac login: dac
[12:20] <mwe> Enselic: which one is your interface?
[12:21] <dac_> it returns to the login: and i type, and it returns, you know?
[12:21] <Enselic> mwe: eth0
[12:21] <mwe> Enselic: it looks broken. let me try fixing it
[12:21] <Enselic> mwe: ok
[12:22] <mwe> Enselic: remove lines 6 to 8. please back up the file first though
[12:23] <quagmire> hi
[12:23] <mwe> Enselic: then try sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0 and see if it works
[12:23] <Enselic> mwe: I think I have tried without those, thing is, in the network settings the static IP is saved (they are inactive when you have DHCP from the combobox)
[12:23] <Enselic> mwe: i.e. I have tried without those lines
[12:23] <hheee> help i can connect to my wireless router in windows with wep and in linux without encryption, but i cant connect in linux using wep
[12:24] <mwe> Enselic: please try what I suggested. then don't mess with network settings afterwards
[12:24] <Enselic> mwe: ill give it a shot       i will disconnect from here to try, be back in a few minutes
[12:25] <tiredbones> mwe,  is the live cd the same as the alternate? could not find a download with the word "live" in the name.
[12:25] <zOap> does anyone know how I can make windows appear in 0,0/NORTH_EAST postion in xfce? I asked in xubuntu but there is no people around...
[12:25] <|markie|> how can i change my resolution of my screen ?
[12:25] <levander> How can I verify that I have all the dependencies installed correctly for the ubuntu-desktop package?
[12:25] <mwe> tiredbones: it's not. if you don't mind the somewhat more simple interface you can use the alternate cd though
[12:25] <hheee> i can connect to my wireless router in windows with wep and in linux without encryption, but i cant connect in linux using wep!! wtf!
[12:26] <jeanjean> How can I see the error msg for my X server when he crashed and restart ?
[12:26] <mwe> tiredbones: it's also more robut IMO
[12:26] <mwe> hheee: you can if you configure it right ;)
[12:26] <rpereira> jeanjean: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[12:27] <jeanjean> rpereira, thx
[12:27] <stefg> !wpa | hheee
[12:27] <ubotu> hheee: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[12:27] <mwe> hheee: add a line wireless-key YOURENCRYPTEDKEY to the section for your wifi card in /etc/network/interfaces
[12:28] <rpereira> jeanjean: You're welcome.... Now we have a new Log View Interface: System->Admin->System Log
[12:28] <hheee> my /etc/netwrok/interfaces have been commented out to work with network-manager
[12:28] <hheee> shd i uncomment them?
[12:29] <mwe> hheee: I don't know network manager very well. I prefer the old way of configuring it
[12:29] <dac_> When I press CTRL+ALT+F1, i get the login screen but when i type my login name it came back asking the login name again and again!
[12:29] <mwe> dac_: you don't get to the password prompt?
[12:29] <dac_> no
[12:29] <Draco> Hi there, can anyone give me a hand, new installation of ubuntu, ive downloaded all the codecs as far as I know I get startup sounds but no sound from dvd ?
[12:29] <mwe> odd
[12:29] <dac_> it came back asking the login name
[12:30] <levander> When I try to open the users-admin app, I get: "The configuration could not be loaded" "You are not allowed access to the system configuration"
[12:30] <stefg> dac_: you haven't defined a default shell... or it's a bug in relation to replacing bash with dash (?) in edgy
[12:30] <levander> Do I have to add myself to a user group?  I think I remember reading that somewhere.
[12:30] <mwe> you have to blindtype your password though. nothing is ecchoed, not even a *. but I guess you don't even get to the prompt
[12:31] <viller> when I go to a website that displays my IP it gives me a different IP than ifconfig. Is that normal?
[12:31] <Draco> can anyone help me with a sound problem please, I get startup sounds but nothing else
[12:31] <mwe> viller: ifconfig shows your local IP
[12:32] <karakara> viller, if you are behind a router, then yes
[12:32] <Enselic`> mwe: Still doesn't work :/
[12:32] <mwe> viller: the web page shows the public one of the router
[12:32] <mwe> Enselic: if you look at /etc/network interfaces, are those lines gone now?
[12:32] <viller> if I want to make a static IP which one should I use?
[12:32] <Enselic`> mwe yup
[12:32] <mwe> Enselic`: odd
[12:32] <viller> I'd like port forward a game's port
[12:32] <Enselic`> mwe Yeah :)
[12:32] <mwe> Enselic`: doesn't sudo dhclient eth0 work either?
[12:33] <dac_> I cant because it asks for the login and if I type my pw it appears writed
[12:34] <mwe> viller: use any IP. just make sure you configure it to use the one you forward to
[12:34] <Enselic`> mwe: nope, it    gives me  DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67      but all those timeout
[12:34] <sharperguy> how do I get my two samba shares to mount on boot?
[12:35] <sharperguy> They used to en Dapper but not Edgy
[12:35] <dac_> stefg what could i do?
[12:36] <mwe> Enselic`: I'm not sure what's up
[12:36] <Enselic`> mwe: ok, thanks anyway for your time
[12:36] <mwe> Enselic`: you are not using the wifi card? I see two entries for that
[12:36] <Draco> can someone help me with a sound problem please
[12:37] <Enselic`> mwe: nope, eth0 is the "normal"
[12:37] <mwe> hmm
[12:37] <Enselic`> mwe: The absolutely strangest part of this is that it works at home, but not in my friends cable modem
[12:37] <Enselic`> mwe: while it works for him on Ubuntu XP
[12:38] <Enselic`> mwe: A DHCP server should not care about the OS right? Could it even figure out what os that requests?
[12:39] <mwe> Enselic`: right
[12:39] <mwe> Enselic`: it's a network protocol. OS independent
[12:40] <mwe> Enselic`: it's not a proper DHCP server if it doesn't respond to the broadcast
[12:40] <Draco> any suggestions as to why I would get startup sounds to work but nothing else ?
[12:40] <firepol> I dont remember who I asked before i couldnt find the netboot image, now i found it: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/
[12:41] <phatlip> hi guys, i get this error after running the install from the live CD:
[12:41] <phatlip> cannot access tty; closing job
[12:41] <phatlip> when restarting to complete install
[12:42] <firepol> the problem (ubuntu guys) is that the netboot image is not advertized enough. i spent half an hour to search for it and gave up. hopefully i had the url saved in my bookmarks at home (im at home now)
[12:42] <mwe> Draco: you should propably try to catch crimsun but I don't think he's around right now
[12:42] <phatlip> its edgy 6.10 i386 on an amd64 3000+ with 2gb of ram on an 80gb sata drive.
[12:43] <Draco> lol mwe only one person in the sound department then ?
[12:43] <mwe> Draco: he's the best
[12:43] <PoLL> there is a netboot image for 6.10 ?
[12:44] <Draco> its so silly I installed the first time everything worked fine I reinstalled coz i made a booboo and now I ge tno dvd sound
[12:44] <viller> ubuntu has all ports closed in default?
[12:44] <firepol> PoLL, yes there is, the link i gave before
[12:44] <flossgeek> viller: yes
[12:44] <PoLL> 2 weeks ago i searched my ass off but found none
[12:44] <viller> flossgeek: how can I open a port?
[12:44] <viller> flossgeek: or two :P
[12:44] <mwe> Draco: try running alsamixer and play with it. what are you running that you're expecting sound from? maybe esd has excluded the application you're trying to use
[12:44] <PoLL> thx 4 the link
[12:45] <firepol> PoLL, same for me. i found it by lucky
[12:45] <firepol> by luck
[12:45] <firepol> thatr0s why im reporting here that the netboot image is not advertized enough
[12:45] <flossgeek> viller: you could install firestarter a GUI for IPTables to do that I thinks
[12:45] <firepol> i couldnt find using the search function in ubuntu.com
[12:45] <Draco> mwe ive tried vlc and gxine to play movie files, i get the video but no sound
[12:45] <viller> flossgeek: I don't want to install more clutter :(
[12:45] <mwe> um firestarter can block access, not provide it
[12:45] <viller> flossgeek: I'll just read stuff about iptables
[12:46] <firepol> PoLL, asd my blog is quite indexed ill write a post there, so who will google around will find it
[12:46] <flossgeek> viller: in that case you can do it through the terminal, you will have to find an iptables guide plenty of them
[12:46] <mwe> openening port means have something listening on it

[12:50] <viller> after dealing with iptables, should I restart networking?
[12:50] <QwertyM> does Wine come by default in the 6.06 CD ?
[12:51] <viller> QwertyM: I don't think so
[12:51] <QwertyM> okay, thanks viller
[12:51] <viller> I'm not sure but I'm running 6.06 and don't have wine installed :)

[12:58] <FirstStrike> kane77: open the case up and look at it! :P
[12:58] <mitrovarr> I'm trying to do an alt-install and I'm getting an error about an unclean file system.  Is it possible for this sort of thing to wreck other partitions on the same drive?
[12:58] <kane77> FirstStrike, I cant... its sealed... and it's not mine computer...
[12:59] <mitrovarr> I really have no idea why I'm getting that error, because I'm formatting the drive I'm using as my root mount point.
[01:00] <mitrovarr> well, the partition
[01:00] <FirstStrike> mitrovarr: run a fsck on the drive
[01:00] <anto9us> kane77, in a command prompt type lshw and look for the section marked *-display
[01:01] <kane77> anto9us, thanx... I'll try that
[01:02] <phatlip> can anyone help me with an ubuntu install? i get to the LiveDesktop and try to install - i get through the live install - but on the restart (after removing the CD) i get: cannot access tty; and all i have is a cli where i can do nothing.
[01:02] <slacker_nl> lo
[01:02] <phatlip> please, i've just wiped my HDD out.
[01:02] <mitrovarr> FirstStrike:  Says it's clean.  Could it be messing with one of the other ext2fs filesystems on one of the drives?
[01:03] <viller> how can I test if a port is open?
[01:03] <slacker_nl> question regarding the boot CD: I/O error; error reading from boot cd: where can I find the logs of twhat is trying to do?
[01:03] <felixfoertsch> What does it mean if I get the message "mount: /dev/ is not a block device" from a loki installer?
[01:03] <slacker_nl> viller: netstat -an | grep portnumber
[01:04] <viller> slacker_nl: it gave me ok, does that mean it's closed?
[01:05] <anto9us> phatlip, as long as you haven't formatted you may recover your partitions by recreating them with the same size and type, also, I've found better success with the text based alternate install cd on some systems
[01:05] <slacker_nl> eh? if you want to check wheter port 80 is open, do netstat -an | grep 80 ; if you get output the port is open
[01:06] <kane77> are there drivers for integrated graphics ProSavage available?
[01:06] <slacker_nl> viller: otherwise paste to output to pastebin
[01:06] <viller> slacker_nl: sorry I read the wrong line
[01:06] <viller> slacker_nl: I don't get any output at all but the port is not in use currently either
[01:06] <viller> slaker_nl: should I get the output even when an app using the port is not running?
[01:07] <phatlip> anto9us: i'll try that
[01:07] <slacker_nl> viller: netstat -an will always give some output
[01:07] <slacker_nl> if there is nothing runnning on the port, the | grep portnumber will not return anything
[01:08] <viller> slacker_nl: well I don't have anything running
[01:08] <slacker_nl> if somehting is runnig, which opens the port, you wil get output
[01:08] <viller> but thanks anyway
[01:08] <slacker_nl> k
[01:08] <slacker_nl> what do you want to run anywayz
[01:08] <slacker_nl> ?
[01:09] <phatlip> there are bugposts about my error all over it seems...
[01:09] <slacker_nl> question regarding the boot CD: I/O error; error reading from boot cd: where can I find the logs of twhat is trying to do?
[01:09] <felixfoertsch> What does it mean if I get the message "mount: /dev/ is not a block device" from a loki installer?
[01:10] <kane77> how do I reconfigure xorg.conf??
[01:10] <DarthLappy> felixfoertsch: I get that too.
[01:10] <slacker_nl> kane77: dpkg-reconfige x-org-server
[01:10] <felixfoertsch> DarthLappy: Do your game installations work?
[01:10] <sharperguy> kane77, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[01:11] <DarthLappy> felixfoertsch: The game for me is UT2004, and the install hangs midway through.  It doesn't work if I try and play it either.
[01:11] <anto9us> slacker_nl, it's one of the other tty's I believe, press ctrl+alt+F1 or F2 etc to view them
[01:11] <sharperguy> slacker_nl, erm, two answers
[01:11] <slacker_nl> kane77: sharperguy has the correct answers
[01:11] <kane77> slacker_nl, sharperguy hope that it's what I wanted to do... :D
[01:11] <stefg> DarthLappy, felixfoertsch : Could it be that this has to do with the /etc/fstab in UUID-style in edgy?... There was a change from Dapper to Edgy in the way how the partitions are mounted...
[01:12] <slacker_nl> kane77: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep dpkg will give you the line you need
[01:12] <felixfoertsch> stefg: So what do you suggest?
[01:12] <DarthLappy> stefg: Hmm, maybe it could be.  Would changing them to the devices themselves hurt?
[01:12] <slacker_nl> anto9us: I'm trying to install ubuntu
[01:12] <slacker_nl> I cannot swith to another tty
[01:13] <anto9us> slacker_nl, yes you can, there's no permanent logging as such, just a tty output
[01:13] <stefg> DarthLappy, felixfoertsch : I'd backup the original fstab, rewrite it in  /dev/ -style and see if that changes something
[01:13] <slacker_nl> anto9us: I cannot switch, believe me :)
[01:13] <slacker_nl> I get a popup with the error, and the only option I have is to reboot
[01:14] <DarthLappy> stefg: Sounds like a plan.  I'll brb 'cause I've gotta move my laptop.
[01:14] <darich> hey all
[01:14] <obstfliege> guten morgen
[01:14] <felixfoertsch> stefg: Is there a tutorial to explain that?
[01:14] <felixfoertsch> :D
[01:14] <darich> am trying to intall edgy eft on a friends laptop using the alternate CD
[01:14] <darich> but....it froze at 85%...while installing Ubuntu Desktop...
[01:14] <darich> the main install cd runs like a dog
[01:14] <slacker_nl> well, 14 minutes left for the edgy iso is in
[01:14] <Stalwart> anyone installed edgy in server install mode?
[01:14] <darich> so this is the best way of doing it....
[01:14] <kijjaz> i've got a dpkg problem: Removing graphviz-cairo ... /var/lib/dpkg/info/graphviz-cairo.postrm: 11: dot: not found
[01:15] <darich> any suggestions of possible fixes would be great
[01:15] <kijjaz> and it causes: dpkg: error processing graphviz-cairo (--remove): subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 127
[01:15] <darich> or other approaches
[01:15] <anto9us> slacker_nl, so you're not getting it to boot from cd?
[01:15] <kijjaz> what should i do?
[01:15] <slacker_nl> anto9us: even the "check cd for errors" is failing due to this error"
[01:15] <Schalken0> this isnt something i can try out with the livecd so i ask - in edgy, when you insert a cd and its icon appears on the desktop, does it say the cd's name?
[01:15] <stefg> felixfoertsch: it's dead simple: sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.backup ... sudo nano /etc/fstab... the /dev/names are already in the file, only as comments... see 'man fstab' for the details
[01:15] <slacker_nl> anto9us: correct, well, it boots the cd (you get the install menu, but when it tries to access the cd to get the files, its fails)
[01:17] <anto9us> slacker_nl, if system will boot and work with other cd's then it sounds like that cd may be bad
[01:17] <blas> hi, i booted from  ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso, and it freezes at step6. "starting partition", any idea?
[01:18] <slacker_nl> anto9us: don't know for sure
[01:18] <slacker_nl> anto9us: but Im downloading an new image
[01:18] <kijjaz> dpkg has a problem here: how can i force apt-get to remove a package although it has a dpkg error?
[01:18] <slacker_nl> and will burn it afterwards
[01:18] <stefg> !dpkg
[01:18] <ubotu> dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.
[01:18] <mitrovarr> does anyone know of any modern hardware that ubuntu (and linux in general) just refuses to run on?  I just recently built a new machine, and linux seems to hate it; my ubuntu install on it died horribly, and the live cd fails just as badly.  A lot of livecds (but not all of them) freeze up on boot as well.
[01:19] <stefg> mitrovarr: SATA?
[01:19] <mitrovarr> I'm trying a new install from the alt-install cd but I don't really have much hope for it
[01:19] <mitrovarr> indeed.  ICH7.
[01:19] <kijjaz> !dpkg
[01:19] <ubotu> dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.
[01:19] <mitrovarr> stefg:  But it seems to see the drive and it did run off of it for a while.
[01:19] <kijjaz> -_-"
[01:19] <rawrbbq> gah
[01:20] <rawrbbq> my beryl is acting strange
[01:20] <mitrovarr> stefg:  It seemed to really get nasty when I installed the new graphics card and power supply
[01:20] <rawrbbq> =(
[01:20] <mitrovarr> stefg:  There any known issues with nvidia 8800s?
[01:20] <rawrbbq> beryl is rotating on it's own and doing other features on its own
[01:20] <rawrbbq> =(
[01:21] <mitrovarr> stefg:  So what exactly are the issues with SATA like?
[01:21] <stefg> mitrovarr: it's not the nvidia-card... certain motherboards and SATA-Controllers are troublesome for the stock ubuntu-kernels. Add the exact model and make of your MoBo together with 'Linux' into ggogle and see waht it gives
[01:22] <rawrbbq> anyone know what to do what to do with my beryl problem? =(
[01:22] <felixfoertsch_> DarthLappy: Do you happen to have no floppy drive?
[01:22] <DarthLappy> felixfoertsch_: No, I have one.
[01:23] <anto9us> rawrbbq, might be best to ask in #ubuntu-xgl
[01:23] <rawrbbq> ok
[01:23] <rawrbbq> thx
[01:24] <|markie|> my screenrefresh is fixed at 85 HZ.... no matter what i change in xorg.conf
[01:24] <|markie|> any ideas

[01:25] <slacker_nl> anto9us: no, with the old one
[01:25] <anto9us> slacker_nl, yes, still sounds like could be bad cd
[01:25] <mitrovarr> stefg:  I see issues with the jmb361 chip on the board, but I disabled it.
[01:26] <slacker_nl> anto9us: it does eh..
[01:26] <slacker_nl> oh well
[01:26] <stefg> mitrovarr: does the board have PATA-ports, too?
[01:26] <SubMOA> rawrbbq, sounds fishy... I just installed beryl yesterday and I had a few problems myself
[01:26] <SubMOA> one sec
[01:26] <anto9us> slacker_nl, check it for smudges :)
[01:26] <SubMOA> let me send some links
[01:26] <slacker_nl> anto9us: already did
[01:27] <felixfoertsch_> Could anyone help me installing UT2003? It simply does not work. I do get errors while typing the keycode.
[01:27] <slacker_nl> nothing on the CD
[01:27] <mitrovarr> stefg:  yes, one from the ICH7 and one from the JMB361.  It's got a SATA from that chip, too, but it's not in use either.

[01:30] <stefg> mitrovarr: If you want to do the full diagnostic program set the pata-drive as primary, install to it (including grub in the MBR) and check if it runs then. Then you can shift the install to a sata drive to compare results...
[01:30] <SubMOA> rawrbbq, I think you can click on the .tar.gz link and everythng is pretty much automated after that... providing you have a (I think) packet manager
[01:30] <SubMOA> in regards to that game
[01:30] <klotho> hey, does anyone know if there's a way to determine if all 196.207.*.* addresses are in Africa?

[01:31] <SubMOA> ryan, I like your name
[01:31] <SubMOA> <==Ryan
[01:32] <mitrovarr> stefg:  I'm checking into that "i8042.c:  Can't read CTR while initializing i8042." error.  My new install gives that instead of failing silently like the old one, and I think that might be the key.
[01:32] <Sebboh> I use firefox under ubuntu, and I haven't had a lot of luck getting add-ons to install.  Is there an "Ubuntu way" of doing this?  (Just like there is an "Ubuntu way" of being root...? :P )
[01:32] <SubMOA> rawrbbq, any luck?
[01:32] <ryan> hi SubMOA
[01:33] <SubMOA> How are you doing, ryan?
[01:33] <klotho> what's the ubuntu way of being root?
[01:33] <SubMOA> klotho,  I think Sudo
[01:33] <klotho> oh. that.
[01:33] <mitrovarr> wow, it's always reassuring when fsck dies during boot.
[01:34] <SubMOA> I think so, just try sudo su, i believe... I'm new, though... when the blind leadeth the blind...
[01:34] <Sebboh> sudo.  The default installation doesn't include a root password at all; it's impossible to *log on* in as root.
[01:34] <stefg> mitrovarr: Seems like a kernel bug in the 64-bit kernel (according to google) ... tried a 32-bit version already?
[01:34] <anto9us> Sebboh, no, they should work after restarting firefox, firefox is installed by default though, you shouldn't have needed to install it
[01:34] <rawrbbq> I installed the game
[01:34] <rawrbbq> but my beryl is still screwed
[01:34] <rawrbbq> =(
[01:34] <SubMOA> sebboh, really?  I just recently installed Edgy (first time to linux) and i remember having to do some stuff where I had to sudo su
[01:34] <mitrovarr> stefg:  No.  I suppose that's next.  Time to download yet another installation CD.  Bah.
[01:35] <SubMOA> rawrbbq, are you new to Ubuntu and/or Linux?
[01:35] <melon> can somebody point me in the direction for information on how to get ubuntu to detect my phone (connected by usb) please?
[01:35] <rawrbbq> yes
[01:35] <Sebboh> Well, the "Web Developer 1.0.2" extension hangs on "checking compatibility"...
[01:35] <stefg> mitrovarr: it's winter here... so teh heat coming from glowing network-cables is just welcome :-)
[01:35] <chrissturm> if i want to move /var to a different partition, what options do i need in the cp command to copy all file owners, links and attributes correctly?
[01:35] <anto9us> melon, lsusb and dmesg are 2 useful commands there
[01:35] <SubMOA> rawrbbq, I am, too, so I know what I would do:  Follow all the directions on this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BerylOnEdgy?highlight=%28beryl%29
[01:36] <SubMOA> basically reinstall, I guess
[01:36] <seamus7> What would cause my laptop to all of a sudden have access to larger resolutions .... I thought it was impossible to go beyond what I thought was its default 1280x800
[01:36] <mitrovarr> Just for the record, MSI motherboards are as buggy as an amazon rainforest.
[01:36] <Sebboh> sub, yes, you have to be root sometimes, but you can't "log on" as root.  The password for root is "*", which isn't a valid MD5 hash.. So logins for root are effectively banned.
[01:36] <SubMOA> ...not sure how to UNISTALL it, so you can have a nice clean reinstall, though
[01:36] <rawrbbq> hum
[01:37] <anto9us> seamus7, it may be offering larger virtual desktops
[01:37] <SubMOA> sebboh, ohh... I thought I just used my login password, but I'm probably thinking of something different
[01:37] <mitrovarr> stefg:  Trust me, the 8800 makes enough heat for even the coldest user.
[01:37] <stefg> and noise...
[01:37] <SubMOA> sebboh, like for the Synaptic Package Manager... I always have to type in my password
[01:37] <mitrovarr> stefg:  it's less a network card and more of a space heater that renders on the side.
[01:37] <mitrovarr> stefg:  err, video card
[01:37] <SubMOA> rawrbbq, I would hang out a big and see if someone else can help
[01:37] <SubMOA> sorry
[01:38] <jzh_daemon> SubMOA, I am not "RYAN" who registered
[01:38] <benjamoon> hey there - can anyone help me with a grub command line? i'm trying to boot a winxp on hda4 but am getting a 'hal.dll not found' error
[01:38] <SubMOA> big should be bit
[01:38] <SubMOA> jzh_daemon, sorry?
[01:38] <benjamoon> I know it has something to do with thr grub set up.... but what??
[01:38] <seamus7> anto9us: well i was activating the BigDesktop mode for two monitors and now my laptop is saying it's displaying at 1280x1024 .... will this be harmful for the laptop monitor if its default resolution ceiling had been 1280x800 ??
[01:39] <mitrovarr> stefg:  I think you're right about the 64 bit thing.  I tried booting into my old install on the PATA drive that hasn't been maintained in about a year, and it booted right up.  It's 32 bit.
[01:39] <anto9us> seamus7, no, if it can display it then go with it
[01:39] <melon> lsusb outputs: Bus 006 Device 015: ID 04e8:665c Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd <-- which i guess is good that it finds it.. though.. i still can't seem to do anything with it..
[01:39] <melon> but cheers.. a step in the right direction i guess :)
[01:40] <anto9us> seamus7, that said, however, that resolution isn't suitable for widescreen display, the aspect ratio will be distorted
[01:40] <stefg> mitrovarr: kernel bug.... not much you can do, except to look for a patch and build your own... or simply use 32-bit, add a bugreport to launchpad and wait approx. 6 months to (maybe) get a fix
[01:40] <seamus7> anto9us: one other thing .... I've noticed my login display fonts are a bit out of wack .... when I type in my name and password the characters are larger than usual
[01:40] <hambone1943> does anyone know default location of where wallpaper files are stored? tia
[01:40] <rawrbbq> hum
[01:40] <mitrovarr> stefg:  I think we're going to be on 128 bit software before they get the bugs worked out of 64 bit operating systems.  I know 64 bit xp is supposed to be even worse.
[01:40] <rawrbbq> it seems that the problems stopped when I turned off conky
[01:40] <rawrbbq> strange..
[01:41] <SubMOA> seamus7, I've noticed the same thing, except everything is smaller
[01:41] <anto9us> melon, dmesg after plugging it in will indicate if it detects and loads a driver for it
[01:41] <SubMOA> rawrbbq, what is conky?
[01:41] <rawrbbq> eh
[01:41] <stefg> mitrovarr: that's why i wait at least another year before going 64-bit/quadcore ...
[01:41] <anto9us> melon, you'll then be able to restart ekiga or whatever and select the usb device as your input and output
[01:41] <rawrbbq> it shows stuff on the desktop, like cpu-usage, network-usage, harddrive and so on
[01:41] <seamus7> SubMOA: I hate it cause I know it's something minor ... somewhere... causing this .... I had just reinstalled fglrx 8.28.8 after trying to get 8.32.5 working and failed
[01:42] <mitrovarr> stefg:  Ah, well, core 2 duos practically operate better in 32 bit anyway.
[01:42] <anto9us> seamus7, mine are like that with native nvidia drivers, it's not such a big problem that's caused me to investigate and solve it though
[01:43] <SubMOA> seamus7, wow, I start to feel good about knowing a bit about Linux, then I read  that and realize I'm totally ignorant.  Anyway, I installed Beryl the other day and everything on my login screen got pretty tiny... I thought maybe I had altered a resolution on accident when i messed witth the xorg.conf file, but everything after that worked fine.
[01:43] <SubMOA> as to what yoyu said... ummm... good luck?
[01:43] <seamus7> anto9us: no it's not ... (i hope) ....
[01:44] <red> hello how do i mount gmail?

[01:45] <stefg> eegore: no, it's not that simple :-)
[01:45] <seamus7> When I go BigDesktop ... I wonder how it computes the resolution ... the one that goes something like 2560x1024?
[01:45] <Sebboh> reg, once you know how it works, check your package manager for the packages you need.  Fuse is filesystem user space something.  It has a gmail plugin.  As I understand it, fuse+the gmail plugin is the best way to mount a gmail account as a local filesystem.  I don't know if ubuntu has packages for fuse; it probably does.

[01:57] <Draco> Hi, I am adding a second drive to my machine but I am unsure as to what to make the access path and what filesystem to use ?
[01:57] <SubMOA> CLMsn, daedra looks to be the only on on that list that's command-line
[01:58] <Infeliz> speak english or eat baguettes
[01:58] <arieen> bum
[01:59] <stefg> Draco, two drives open up clever posibilities to increase performance. But to give you more advice you'll have to provide more info
[01:59] <Draco> stefg: I already have a drive running with the system on it all I want to do is add a second drive for storage nothing fancy
[02:00] <Draco> the drive may also not be permanent so I dont want the system to depend on it
[02:00] <stefg> draco: do you dual boot with win, or do you just need ubuntu to read the drive?
[02:00] <Draco> just ubuntu
[02:01] <SubMOA> any info on Edgy Eft built in encryption?
[02:02] <Draco> would that be ext3 ?
[02:02] <stefg> draco so hook it up to the system, partiton it, format it with ext3 or reiserfs. make a mountpoint in /media (maybe /media/storage) and edit /etc/fstab to get the drive mouznted at boottime
[02:03] <Draco> so I can create my own mount point instead of of using the drop down list ?
[02:04] <KDan> clean install of ubuntu desktop 6.10 on my father's laptop... no errors during install, everything appears to have gone fine... look at the documentation, "how to mount windows disks".. Step one is go to "System > Admin > Disks". Small problem: no item called "Disks" in System > Admin. any thoughts?
[02:04] <stefg> draco: to be honest.: i ignore all the gui-tools in ubuntu for that, so i cant tell how they work. I do things like that from the console
[02:04] <KDan> (no item called anything remotely like 'disks')
[02:04] <Draco> stefg: im still a newb so im weary of console
[02:05] <bbieber-lap> Anyone know how to re-open a bug in launchpad...? It was previously rejected because the original reporter couldn't get a valgrind log....
[02:05] <stefg> draco, i can walk you through that... all i need to know is the device name of your new drive
[02:05] <Draco> stefg: /dev/hdb1
[02:05] <burepe> Isn't there a fix for choppy video playback? Direct something or other?
[02:06] <Zaggynl> How do I check if someone is connected to vino?
[02:06] <stefg> draco... hmmm is hdc empty? would be better to have the second disk on a separate IDE channel
[02:06] <Draco> stefg I have to dvd writers on second channel
[02:06] <neutrinomass> Does anybody have a usb adsl modem that uses the ueagle-atm driver or at least the CD with the firmware ?
[02:07] <stefg> draco: ok, i see... so the drive is already connected, all you need to do is format and mount it, right?
[02:07] <Draco> stefg yup thats it
[02:08] <KDan> what's the apt-get package for the "System > Admin > Disks" config utility in ubuntu desktop? Doesn't appear to have installed on my 6.10 install
[02:08] <stefg> draco, so give me the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ please, to have a look how the kernel sees your disks now
[02:08] <pinchartl> is there a way to configure apt to ignore updates for a specific package ? I downgraded mysql-server-5.0 from edgy to dapper, and would like apt-get not to upgrade the package to edgy
[02:09] <stefg> pinchartl: google for apt-pinning
[02:09] <pinchartl> stefg: thanks
[02:09] <Riyonuk> Where do I check partitions and hardrive space?
[02:10] <stefg> df -h
[02:10] <Draco> stefg:  done, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39148/
[02:10] <stefg> k
[02:11] <stefg> Drako: get a terminal and 'sudo -s'
[02:11] <stefg> you are root then
[02:11] <Draco> done
[02:11] <Schalken> when you insert a cd in edgy and its icon appears on the desktop, does it say the cd's name?
[02:11] <slacker_nl> Schalken: yes
[02:11] <KDan> seriously... where is the "System > Admin > Disks"? Why is it missing and/or how can i make it show up?
[02:12] <stefg> Drako : mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdb1
[02:12] <Draco> kdan aure you logged in with permissions to see it ?
[02:12] <Schalken> slacker_nl: good, because it didnt when i used kubuntu and i didnt like it! :P
[02:12] <stefg> Draco : mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdb1
[02:12] <KDan> Draco: i'm logged in as the only user that can log in on that system
[02:13] <KDan> it's a normal user on the sudoers list
[02:13] <Draco> stefg:  done
[02:13] <Schalken> also does ubuntu color the output of ls by default?
[02:13] <hkBst> does ubuntu have i686 compiled kernels in addition to the i386 ones?
[02:13] <KDan> are you saying that i only get a partial list unless i do something special?
[02:13] <stefg> Draco: mkdir /media/storage
[02:13] <Draco> stefg:  done
[02:14] <stefg> Draco Mount /dev/hdb1 /media/storage -o users
[02:14] <stefg> Draco: mount /dev/hdb1 /media/storage -o users
[02:14] <Schalken> hkBst: not sure about edgy, but dapper did
[02:15] <Draco> stefg permission denied : /dev/hdb1 /media/storage -o users
[02:15] <stefg> draco: are you still root?
[02:15] <Draco> stefg:  bash: /dev/hdb1: Permission denied as root
[02:15] <Draco> yup
[02:15] <stefg> HUH?
[02:15] <Riyonuk> I cant seem to find GTKWifi in Synaptic, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=34645, anyone know if its ubuntu reposotories?
[02:15] <stefg> OK, FORGET THE -O USERS
[02:15] <stefg> ooops
[02:16] <Draco> still denied
[02:16] <KDan> What is the ubuntu package that contains "System > Admin > Disks"?
[02:16] <stefg> draco any warnings when you did mkfs.ext3?
[02:16] <Schalken> KDan: gparted...or maybe thats 'partition editor'
[02:16] <slacker_nl> Draco: mount /dev/hdb1 /media/storage -o users
[02:17] <KDan> Schalken: is that what System > Admin > Disks maps to?
[02:17] <KDan> if you run it on your box, does it start gparted?
[02:17] <SubMOA> crypto on Edgy? Anybody?
[02:17] <Draco> thanks slacker_nl that worked
[02:18] <stefg> draco: anyway, doesn't matter. To make the mount permanent you neet to add the disk to /etc/fstab.. i think it's safest if you paste me your /etc/fstab to pastebin
[02:18] <Draco> k one sec

[02:24] <Draco> stefg:  do I have to have lost and found, its  been created on that drive ?
[02:24] <stefg> draco so you've got the drive on the desk now, no?
[02:25] <phatlip_> i need to modify the xorg.conf file - but can't get to a CLI to do that.
[02:25] <Draco> stefg: yup drive is there called storage
[02:25] <stefg> lost+found is required by ext3 and created automatically
[02:25] <reiki> LjL, thanks for the blkid thing... THAT shows all partitions and UUIDs ... HOWEVER the UUID for hda1 and sdb1 are the same.... so much for unique IDs
[02:25] <phatlip_> someone suggested booting with break=bottom - how can i do that?
[02:25] <Draco> cool well looks like im all set
[02:25] <LjL> phatlip_: boot into recovery mode...?=
[02:25] <sc0tty> hello
[02:25] <Draco> stefg:  thanks a mil for the help
[02:25] <sc0tty> I'm having a weird problem with my nvidia driver :s
[02:25] <stefg> draco so write on it, to check if everything is ok
[02:25] <LjL> reiki: the same? ugh. file that as a bug i guess!
[02:25] <phatlip_> LjL: using the alternate install CD or live ?
[02:25] <IdleOne> phatlip,  hit alt+f and type terminal
[02:26] <IdleOne> alt+f2
[02:26] <LjL> phatlip_, using your installation. at the Grub menu, select recovery mode
[02:26] <reiki> LjL, I clone sdb1 from hda1 .... I can't find any way to GENERATE a new UUID
[02:26] <sc0tty> it works fine, but every time I boot my ubuntu X fails to start, saying that the module in the kernel isn't the same version as my driver (I'm on 6.06)
[02:26] <sc0tty> but if I stop gdm, unload nvidia (modprobe -r nvidia) and reload it (modprobe -i nvidia)
[02:26] <Draco> stefg: You do not have permissions to write to this folder.
[02:26] <LjL> reiki: ah, it's a clone, i see... well hold on, i'll try to find out how UUIDs are generated
[02:26] <sc0tty> and start gdm again, it works fine :s
[02:26] <stefg> i knew that...
[02:27] <phatlip_> LjL, thanks.
[02:27] <slacker_nl> c'mon..
[02:27] <beasty> reiki: i migt switch to tera mai
[02:27] <sc0tty> the only idea I have is to build my own kernel, to avoid that problem, but I'd like to avoid it :p
[02:27] <reiki> beasty: don't be fooled... in the end there is only one
[02:27] <LjL> phatlip_: but wait, you don't *have* an installation yet? in that case, i'd just try the alternate cd i guess
[02:28] <Draco> stefg: permissions are -r--r--r--
[02:28] <stefg> draco. if you copy files over which belong to your user (and have write permissions set) you can write to them. but the copying has to be done with sudo cp ...
[02:29] <slacker_nl> ....
[02:29] <slacker_nl> I need the AMD version
[02:29] <slacker_nl> how could I have missed that!
[02:29] <beasty> i know reiki :)
[02:29] <beasty> but it's just that the tera-mai system has more 'practice evenings' in my area
[02:30] <Draco> stefg:  that cant be the solution ? I need apps to write to write to the drive
[02:31] <Stalwart> i have problem with ubiquity
[02:31] <phatlip_> LjL, i do have an installation.
[02:31] <Stalwart> http://img409.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotqz8.png
[02:31] <phatlip_> LjL, i tried the live CD - installed, no dice on restart. then i tried alternate.
[02:31] <phatlip_> then i looked up bugs. now i'm here.
[02:32] <KlausVonEisenerz> Hello, any ideas in this ? The following packages have unmet dependencies: build-essential: Depends: libc6-dev but it is not going to be installed or libc-dev Depends: g++ (>= 4:4.0) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages
[02:32] <KlausVonEisenerz> ( i've done apt-get update , and /etc/apt/sources.list looks ok i think )
[02:33] <Draco> stefg:  ?
[02:33] <LjL> phatlip_: well, i don't know about that specific bug, but i'm pretty sure you *will* be able to reach a console by either using plain recovery mode, or at worst removing the "splash" kernel parameter (in the Grub menu again - select the entry, hit E, select the kernel line, hit E, remove 'splash' and add 'nosplash')
[02:33] <davidwinter> hi all
[02:33] <slacker_nl> KlausVonEisenerz: g++ is in the libg package I believe

[02:33] <davidwinter> what's the best way to check if I have the nvidia drivers installed correctly? I've checked the xorg.conf file and it has 'nvidia' in there. But I don't see the Nvidia logo at bootup
[02:33] <KlausVonEisenerz> slacker_nl, so i should install it manual ?
[02:33] <Theodor> Guys I'm having this problem:
[02:33] <phatlip_> LjL, https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/67487 - the bug. now confirmed.
[02:34] <phatlip_> LjL, thanks, i'm going to try the work around.
[02:34] <Theodor> PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 0 of device 0000:06:06.0
[02:34] <Theodor> and this:
[02:34] <Draco> stefg:  umount: only root can unmount /dev/hdb1 from /media/storage - whats command for unmount ?
[02:34] <stefg> sudo umount /dev/hda1
[02:34] <Theodor> Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 8284647
[02:34] <stefg> sudo umount /dev/hdb1
[02:34] <Theodor> What the heck is that?
[02:35] <reiki> trying to find out how to generate a UUID for a cloned drive. I currently have 2 drives with the exact same UUID.... not good
[02:36] <Riyonuk> WhooHoo! Finally, my internets back, stupuid program, how do I get rid of GTKWi-Fi?
[02:36] <LjL> reiki: is that an ext2/3 filesystem?
[02:36] <reiki> LjL yes, ext3
[02:36] <LjL> reiki: then "man tune2fs", search for the "-U" option
[02:37] <stefg> draco: so that's sudo -s, then umount /dev/hdb1 , chmod 755 /media/storage, mount -a
[02:37] <reiki> ok thanks...
[02:37] <IdleOne> Riyonuk, how did you install it?
[02:37] <davidwinter> what's the best way to check if I have the nvidia drivers installed correctly? I've checked the xorg.conf file and it has 'nvidia' in there. But I don't see the Nvidia logo at bootup
[02:37] <Riyonuk> I downloaded a .deb and ran sudo dpkg..yeah something like that
[02:38] <sc0tty> dkpg -r nameOfPackage
[02:38] <stefg> davidwinter: newer drivers dont do that no more
[02:38] <yango> hi, how to configure ubuntu's evolution to check automatically for Spam? (i've tried the manual but the option it shows doesn't appear in my menus!)
[02:38] <slacker_nl> KlausVonEisenerz: apt-file search g++ will give you all packages where g++ is included
[02:38] <davidwinter> stefg: the nvidia logo at bootup?
[02:38] <IdleOne> Riyonuk, dpkg -r file.deb -r to remove the package
[02:38] <KlausVonEisenerz> slacker_nl, thanks
[02:38] <der0b> morning folks, is there some trick to performing a standard upgrade of beryl from the repos.  I find that until I reboot, beryl is unstable after an upgrade.  I've restarted gdm hoping to fix the problem, did nothing for me.  ideas?
[02:38] <stefg> davidwinter: exactly
[02:38] <tafsen> How do I find out where's my Windows partition is? (hd?,?)
[02:38] <slacker_nl> KlausVonEisenerz: aptitude install apt-file fist
[02:38] <slacker_nl> first
[02:38] <davidwinter> stefg: thanks - is there any way to check that they're working ok?
[02:38] <KlausVonEisenerz> slacker_nl, okay
[02:38] <stefg> glxinfo | grep direct
[02:39] <davidwinter> stefg: thanks :)
[02:39] <un_operateur> tafsen, fdisk -l /dev/[hs] da       ---  should list it
[02:39] <Riyonuk> IdleOne, dpkg: you must specify packages by their own names, not by quoting the names of the files they come in
[02:39] <daedra_> ah GNU screen is so cool
[02:40] <Draco> stefg: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39151/
[02:40] <Riyonuk> IdleOne, I followed OmegaMike's instructions, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=34645&page=2
[02:40] <IdleOne> dpkg -r gtkwi-fi or whatever the package name was
[02:40] <un_operateur> Riyonuk, sudo dpkg -i nameoffile.deb
[02:40] <Draco> stefg: permissions still read only
[02:41] <Riyonuk> Alright thanks all!
[02:41] <my_haz> How to i encrypt a file?
[02:41] <treat> anyone know any dvd-authoring software other than qdvdauthor?
[02:41] <stefg> draco: hmmm ... check 'dmesg' in a terminal if there's any sign of a 'filesystem panic'
[02:42] <Riyonuk> Now, How do I defrag? Or does linux even have that -_-
[02:42] <slacker_nl> Draco: change the permissions options to rw in /etc/fsta
[02:42] <slacker_nl> +b
[02:42] <IdleOne> Riyonuk, defrag is not necessary in linux
[02:42] <my_haz> Riyonuk: you don't do that in Linux
[02:42] <ubuntu-newbie> how do I start apache2?
[02:42] <stefg> slacker_nl: good catch!
[02:42] <my_haz> Riyonuk: UNIX was made for lots of files :D
[02:42] <Riyonuk> Oh
[02:42] <Riyonuk> Awesome
[02:42] <Riyonuk> And what about seeing my hardrive space?
[02:43] <stefg> df -h
[02:43] <my_haz> ubuntu-newbie: apache is a whole world, you should read a proper tutorial on the subject
[02:43] <my_haz> Riyonuk: df -h /usr
[02:43] <reiki> LjL, tune2fs looks like it will generate a new UUID. Now I have to wonder if I will have to manually create the symlink in /dev/disk/by-uuid and.... where else? Hard to find "for humans" documentation on this
[02:43] <daedra_> lol
[02:43] <Riyonuk> Yeah I noticed that, it installed a bunch of files
[02:43] <pike_> ubuntu-newbie: if you installed via a ubuntu repo then sudo /etc/init.d/apache start  or stop or restart   take a look at the /etc/init.d/ directory for other services
[02:43] <ubuntu-newbie> tried that
[02:43] <ubuntu-newbie> removed apache, installed apache2 with apt-get
[02:43] <my_haz> Riyonuk: you might also check out "top" and "du -h ."
[02:44] <tafsen> un_operateur, what's the difrence from hd0,0 and hda1?
[02:44] <nolimitsoya> could anyone advice me on how to enable encryption on  a rfi logitech keyboard?
[02:44] <Riyonuk> my_haz, this? /dev/hdd1              54G  3.0G   48G   6% /
[02:44] <ubuntu-newbie> /etc/init.d/apache2 restart does nothing, no output
[02:44] <Draco> slacker_nl:  id assume that to be rw instead of ro ?
[02:44] <slacker_nl> jep
[02:44] <my_haz> Riyonuk: looks about right
[02:44] <un_operateur> tafsen, you mean whats the diffy between hda0 and hda1?
[02:44] <Riyonuk> Man I love the terminal :D
[02:44] <my_haz> Riyonuk: you might think about downloading the pkg, gkrellm or torro
[02:45] <Riyonuk> my_haz, what are those? Care to give me a command :p
[02:45] <my_haz> Anyone know how to encrypt a file on my hardisk?
[02:45] <stefg> man gpg
[02:45] <Draco> ok done how do i reinitialise the disk ?
[02:45] <LjL> reiki: i don't think you'll have to generate them manually... but perhaps it'll be safer to do this from a live CD
[02:45] <my_haz> Riyonuk: they are pkages that help you see what your system/disk are up too
[02:45] <my_haz> Riyonuk: they give your desktop a mad scientist type feel :D
[02:45] <tafsen> un_operateur, no. When I typed what you said I got a list of hda1 hda2 hda3 etc.  But in the /boot/grub/menu.lst there's nothing like that. There's only hd0,0 and etc
[02:46] <daedra_> htop is an awesome version of top for process monitoring
[02:46] <Riyonuk> Wtf, I thought you guys said ubuntu had no registry...after doing du-h, I found "./.registry/HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/XPde/Desktop/Config"
[02:46] <un_operateur> mykilx, errm this could work  -- openssl base64 < filename > filename.encrypted
[02:46] <reiki> LjL, I don't have a liveCD for edgy. And if I create one.... what would I do when I boot it?
[02:46] <w3ccv> ubuntu-newbie, try   /etc/init.d/apache2 start  - nor restart  you may not see any command line output what does 'ps -ef | grep http'  show
[02:46] <stefg> tafsen: grub counts 0,1,2, kernel/fstab count 1,2,3 ... (hd0,0) == /dev/hda1
[02:46] <ubuntu-newbie> pike_: I already tried sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start / stop / status / restart and got no output. Nothing running on port 80
[02:46] <daedra_> Riyonuk: that would be a mounted partition
[02:47] <Riyonuk> No, I formatted my whole hard drive
[02:47] <nolimitsoya> could anyone advice me on how to enable encryption on  a rfi logitech keyboard?
[02:47] <my_haz> Riyonuk: that must be for some application
[02:47] <my_haz> Riyonuk: there is in registry in UNIX
[02:47] <Riyonuk> I tihkn its from xpde
[02:47] <tafsen> stefg, so hda2 is hd1,0 or hd1,1?
[02:47] <w3ccv> ubuntu-newbie, have you set up the httpd.conf file
[02:47] <lupine_85> tafsen: (hd0,1)
[02:47] <un_operateur> tafsen, hda1 by fdisk corresponds to hd0,0 in grub, hda2 to hd0,1, etc
[02:47] <stefg> tafsen: hda2 is (hd0,1)
[02:47] <pike_> ubuntu-newbie: i havent installed apache in ubuntu.. ls /etc/init.d| grep apache  shows what?
[02:47] <Draco> slacker_nl: see http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39152/ please
[02:48] <pike_> ubuntu-newbie: well havent installed since hoary anyway
[02:48] <tafsen> thank you guys ;)
[02:48] <Riyonuk> my_haz, I cant seem to find torro
[02:49] <narvik86> Draco: sudo mount -a ?
[02:49] <Draco> slacker_nl: here is fstab http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39153/
[02:49] <ubuntu-newbie> pike_: shows apache2 (6.10 comes with apache, but I removed that using the package manager and used apt-get to install apache2)
[02:49] <ubuntu-newbie> w3ccv: the httpd.conf is in /etc/apache2, but I haven't editted it
[02:49] <stefg> draco there's a typo in your fstab, i think
[02:49] <narvik86> Draco: ops sorry, there is #, maybe show us /etc/fstab
[02:49] <my_haz> Riyonuk: let me see if i can remember the name
[02:50] <Draco> here is fstab http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39153/
[02:50] <ubuntu-newbie> w3ccv: ps shows nothing running (apache or http)
[02:50] <Draco> just changed ro to rw
[02:50] <ramvi> Evolution only wants to spell check in English for some reason..? But my whole OS is in Norwegian. How do I fix this?
[02:50] <un_operateur> ubuntu-newbie, can you navigate to http://localhost ?
[02:50] <ubuntu-newbie> nope
[02:51] <pike_> ubuntu-newbie: i know apache2 uses seperate config file paths so i wouldnt think that is the problem.. not sure you could just try launching it like sudo apache2& and if it gives any errors maybe try #apache
[02:51] <w3ccv> ubuntu-newbie, I think you need to configure that before anything will run.  starting apache should show errors in /var/log/messages i fi tdoesn't start, and may tell why.  sounds like it's time for you to RTFM -
[02:51] <stefg> draco: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39154/
[02:51] <my_haz> Riyonuk: i don't remember the name exatly install gkrellm its the more common.
[02:51] <un_operateur> pike_, use apache2ctl instead  -- sudo apache2ctl start
[02:51] <firepol> hi there. anybody had problems enabling DMA on SATA Hard disks? Did you solve it, how?
[02:52] <Riyonuk> my_haz, what exactly does gkrellm do?
[02:52] <pike_> un_operateur: gotcha
[02:52] <gregoire> hey! I have some problems to get my wifi card working on feisty. The chip is bcm4309 (rev 03)

[02:52] <narvik86> stefg: what pass column(in fstab) means?
[02:52] <my_haz> Riyonuk: i found via "apt-cache search 'system monitor' " torsmo :D
[02:52] <w3ccv> ubuntu-newbie, yes apachectl is another way, but the config has to be set up.  RTFM
[02:53] <stefg> narvik86: man fstab
[02:53] <my_haz> Riyonuk: torsmo is the one
[02:53] <Riyonuk> ahh
[02:53] <Riyonuk> so sudo apt-get install torsmo?
[02:53] <codemonkey2> anyone know about zeus webservers? i need to get an apache .htacces with rewrites working
[02:53] <my_haz> Riyonuk: thats the  one :D
[02:53] <Riyonuk> Oh yeah, Im awesome
[02:53] <my_haz> Who knows how to encrypt a file on the disk
[02:53] <Draco> stefg:  amended remounted and -r--r--r--
[02:53] <Riyonuk> -_-
[02:53] <Riyonuk> E: Couldn't find package torsmo
[02:54] <stefg> Draco: and if you sudo chmod 755? how's it then?
[02:54] <my_haz> Riyonuk: my system is a bit dated but i got it from "http://us.archive.ubuntu.com breezy/universe "
[02:54] <ubuntu-newbie> no output in syslog or messages
[02:54] <stefg> Draco: sudo chmod 755 /media/storage ? how's it then?
[02:54] <ubuntu-newbie> this is turd
[02:54] <my_haz> Riyonuk: you did do "apt-get update"
[02:54] <Riyonuk> Uhh how come firefox wont start?
[02:54] <Riyonuk> no
[02:54] <w3ccv> my_haz, you can use PGP or GnuPG
[02:55] <my_haz> w3ccv: but then won't i need some key if i wan't to open it on another computer
[02:55] <my_haz> w3ccv: like some special file or something?
[02:55] <un_operateur> ubuntu-newbie, how about in /var/log/apache2
[02:55] <felixfoertsch> Could anyone help me with this problem: http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/7960/screenshotyi4.png?
[02:55] <ubuntu-newbie> nope, just two empty access.log and error.log
[02:55] <w3ccv> my_haz, yes.  remember the 'passphrase'
[02:55] <codemonkey2> anyone know about zeus webservers? i need to get an apache .htacces with rewrites working
[02:55] <Draco> stefg:  chmod simply returns to prompt with no errors
[02:56] <ttyfscker_> is there no w32codecs for ppc?
[02:56] <Draco> stefg:  but no change to permissions
[02:56] <my_haz> w3ccv: yes the password, but also like some special key file, correct?
[02:56] <stefg> Draco: that's good...
[02:56] <ttyfscker_> nor flash-plugin?
[02:56] <my_haz> w3ccv: because its like an public key thingy
[02:56] <Riyonuk> How do I remove the firefox flash plugin?
[02:56] <stefg> Draco: sometimes (for obscure reasons to me) it takes a reboot...
[02:56] <Draco> stefg: folder reading shows drwxr-xr-x
[02:56] <stefg> bingo!
[02:57] <Draco> well cant hurt to reboot be right back

[02:59] <w3ccv> my_haz, if you just encrypted, I don't think so, but it you encrypt it to someone else, then you do.  Or you could use zip -e to encrypt.  No I haven't done it but worth a try.
[02:59] <stefg> tafsen: man grub :-)... chainloader gives control to NTLDR, which boots win then
[03:00] <daedra_> hey what can I use to burn an iso at command line?
[03:00] <stefg> cdrecord

[03:01] <ubuntu-newbie> plus a module list
[03:01] <my_haz> w3ccv: what would be the command with gpg ?
[03:01] <accept> !wifi
[03:01] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[03:01] <codemonkey2> grr who knows about zeus webserver
[03:01] <my_haz> Riyonuk: how did you mess up firefox?
[03:01] <un_operateur> ubuntu-newbie, the first lists the version the second a list of modules, right?
[03:01] <reiki> LjL, ok I used uuidgen to create a new uuid. I assigned that uuid to /dev/hda1 as per tune2fs using the -U parameter. blkid still shows duplicate uuids and there is no symlink in /dev/disks/by-uuid ..... this is kinda maddening :)
[03:01] <ubuntu-newbie> un_operateur: yes
[03:01] <GreyGhost> /msgf ubotu !modem
[03:01] <Draco> stefg:  well no luck on reboot
[03:02] <Riyonuk> my_haz, I dont know it just takes a loooong time for any page to load, GAIM keeps crashing, sometimes firefox loads and quits, Im going back to windows :p
[03:02] <Draco> this is just nuts
[03:02] <Theodor> Hey, I currently have 3 partitions. Drive D where I have my windows installed. Driver E is where I want to install my Ubuntu and drive F where I keep my data.
[03:02] <Theodor> What to choose in the installation?
[03:02] <Draco> i cant believe how hard it is to add a hard drive
[03:02] <Riyonuk> I should have kept my windows partition, it was so fast
[03:02] <M0E^lnx> can someone tell me which kernel ships with edgy?
[03:02] <daedra_> do I need any other flags on cdrecord like devicename, target etc?
[03:02] <codemonkey2> anyone know about zeus webservers? i need to get an apache .htacces with rewrites working
[03:02] <my_haz> Riyonuk: maybe you should have
[03:02] <un_operateur> ubuntu-newbie, ok, check if the syntax of all the apache config files is ok -- apache2ctl -S
[03:03] <Theodor> I'm presented with the following: Resize SCSI1 (0,0,0) partition #5 (sd) and use freed space.
[03:03] <stefg> draco: the drive is writable by root... get to the properties-tab and check 'write' for group, too
[03:03] <Theodor> Erase entire disk
[03:03] <Theodor> Use the largest continuous free space
[03:03] <my_haz> Riyonuk: Linux is fast, actually i a much more usefull on on a unix box, but if you like windows then use it
[03:03] <Theodor> and manually edit partition table.
[03:03] <GreyGhost> hmm.... my dial up modem used to work with 6.6 but not with 6.1
[03:03] <Draco> stefg:  tried wont allow me to tick any of those boxes
[03:03] <Theodor> What should I choose? I want to keep my drive D and F where I have my windows data.
[03:03] <GreyGhost> 6.06 6.10
[03:03] <stefg> Draco ... as root... gksudo nautilus --no-desktop
[03:03] <Riyonuk> my_haz, Unix box? You mean like a computer made for linux?
[03:04] <my_haz> Riyonuk: exactly
[03:04] <Draco> stefg:  ok u lost me on that last one
[03:04] <Riyonuk> :o
[03:04] <un_operateur> ubuntu-newbie, sorry that was supposed to be  apache2ctl -t .. apache2ctl -S should give you a list of loaded virtual hosts
[03:04] <Riyonuk> my_haz, I want one...
[03:04] <my_haz> Riyonuk:  i used Solaris for a long time, then FreeBSD now i use linux
[03:04] <ubuntu-newbie> will give it a go
[03:04] <my_haz> Riyonuk: i don't like winodws, but thats just me
[03:04] <Theodor> Any ideas people ?
[03:04] <No_Hope>  is any 1 in here looking for great web hosting at cheap prices ?
[03:05] <my_haz> No_Hope: free :D
[03:05] <ubuntu-newbie> un_operateur - i've f'cked something up. will have to sort that out first

[03:05] <jessed> hello i'm new to ubuntu and i am trying to install ndiswrapper. I followed the instructions to get an error so i believe its somehting with the kernel.  when i type in sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` command i  recieve an error E: Couldn't find package linux-headers-uname -r.  Could anyone please give me some insight to this issue
[03:05] <Riyonuk> I dont know, Im serisoly considering going back to windows, it was waaay faster than my ubuntu, maybe its just my machine
[03:05] <ikonia> Riyonuk: any OS is only as good as its configuration
[03:05] <my_haz> jessed: "run the command uname -r"
[03:05] <No_Hope>  www.vibenet-hosting.com is the place sorry to advertise we just want to make the website known and do our best to get people good priced packages
[03:06] <Theodor> Fellas, I really need someone to reply.
[03:06] <Theodor> What should I choose?
[03:06] <my_haz> jessed: actually you can just "sudo apt-get install linux-headers"
[03:06] <jessed> my_haz ok
[03:06] <stefg> Draco... ah, i did a mistake ... chmod 775 , not 755 ... so sudo chmod 775 /media/storage
[03:06] <un_operateur> Riyonuk, windows runs out of steam after a couple of months -- its gets awfully slow
[03:06] <ikonia> my_haz: he has to be missing the ticks
[03:06] <GreyGhost> how do i figure out to which COM port my modem is in?
[03:06] <Riyonuk> un_operateur, not mine :p, mine used less than 50mb of Ram
[03:06] <codemonkey2> anyone know about zeus webservers? i need to get an apache .htacces with rewrites working
[03:06] <jessed> i get the erro E: package linux-headers has no installation candidate
[03:06] <my_haz> jessed: `this-in-ticks-is-a-command`
[03:06] <Draco> stefg:  ok well i got to it from gksudo nautilus just add group ?
[03:06] <GreyGhost> under win its COM1
[03:06] <my_haz> jessed: `ls /usr/pcorn"
[03:07] <un_operateur> Riyonuk, what? you were running win 2.1?
[03:07] <LjL> reiki, have you rebooted? i guess that the uuid will only be read again after a reboot. also, i suppose you better leave the partition unmounted while changing the blkid
[03:07] <Riyonuk> un_operateur, no, windows xp home
[03:07] <pike_> jessed: make sure not to use quotes like ' use ` or an alternative is linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[03:07] <jessed> greyghost: no such file or directory
[03:07] <un_operateur> Riyonuk, errm, i dont believe you
[03:07] <GreyGhost> jessed ... ?
[03:07] <Riyonuk> *pro
[03:07] <jessed> sorry my haz
[03:07] <GreyGhost> k
[03:07] <Riyonuk> un_operateur, its true. I could tell you where to get it >_> but you guys dont support warez :p
[03:08] <stefg> Draco... yes. i try to avoid to make the drive world-writable.. but group-writable is fine. then change the group to , say, 'users' and make yourself member of group 'users'
[03:08] <reiki> LjL I'll try a reboot. :)  this whole UUID thing is a bit weird though..... just not a lot of information on it and what's out there can be a bit "sketchy"
[03:08] <jessed> my_haz: mind if i pm you?
[03:08] <Draco> stefg: ok done that and 775 not reflecting gonna reboot
[03:08] <rusher> hello
[03:08] <stefg> Draco... hold on... do something first:
[03:09] <w3ccv> my_haz, gpg -c <filename>   This will encrypt with symetrical cypher   output goes to filename.gpg. then use gpg -d <filename.gpg> to decrypt and redirect to a  new filename
[03:09] <my_haz> jessed: go for it
[03:09] <stefg> too late :-/
[03:09] <GreyGhost> !hi | rusher
[03:09] <ubotu> rusher: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[03:09] <Riyonuk> un_operateur, believe :p
[03:09] <my_haz> w3ccv: i will try
[03:09] <rusher> thanks h
[03:09] <rusher> anyone try debian sarge ?
[03:09] <LjL> reiki, well, it's rather new. at least, it being actually used for identifying partition is new.
[03:10] <Riyonuk> GreyGhost, you have to get a bot to say Hi for you >_>
[03:10] <my_haz> w3ccv: that works, excapt i don't like the stdout bit, hehe
[03:10] <GreyGhost> Riyonuk ,thats equivalent to a "hi" from everyone in here ;)
[03:10] <my_haz> w3ccv: funny words :D
[03:10] <Riyonuk> Are there slipstreamed version of ubuntu?
[03:10] <Riyonuk> :p
[03:11] <w3ccv> my_haz, if it is a binary file, yes they look funny on the screen
[03:11] <jhammel> hello.  my right alt key doesn't work in ubuntu edgy.  i can get it to work in gnome using http://speeves.unt.edu/newindex/?p=185, but in fluxbox (my preferred wm) i am pwned
[03:11] <un_operateur> Riyonuk, I run XP too -- XP pro infact -- and with no apps running, it's already using > 128Mb and about the same in Page File usage
[03:11] <Riyonuk> haha lame :p
[03:11] <jhammel> anyone know how to fix this?  the instructions at http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-162852.html don't seem to help :(
[03:12] <Draco> stefg:  permissions changed read write exec for group but i still cant write to it
[03:13] <rusher> write to what draco
[03:13] <stefg> Draco, right, because you are not a memeber of users
[03:13] <rusher> add your name to the group in /etc/group
[03:13] <Draco> rusher:  write to my stupid hard drive im trying to add to the computer
[03:13] <Riyonuk> OMG...Ill be browing in firefox and it will just quit
[03:13] <rusher> chmod 777 /mnt/dir  and chmod 777 /dev/hd?
[03:13] <rusher> do that as sudo
[03:14] <Draco> stefg:  the default user isnt a member of groups ?
[03:14] <Riyonuk> un_operateur, Operating System RAM Memory Usage > 42Mb ( 3Mb)
[03:14] <Riyonuk> WINDOWS folder > 397M
[03:14] <stefg> chmod 777 makes it world-writable.... i have bad felings about5 that
[03:14] <rusher> just as a test
[03:14] <wouaren> hi all
[03:14] <rusher> you can change it to 614 later
[03:14] <my_haz> Riyonuk: is your system fully up-to-date
[03:14] <Riyonuk> hi wouaren
[03:14] <Riyonuk> my_haz...I dont know
[03:15] <Riyonuk> But I know it has something to do with that flash plugin..if only I could uninstall it
[03:15] <stefg> Draco: better idea... make the group of the folder 'plugdev' :-) ...
[03:15] <rusher> chown user:user foldername or device
[03:15] <Draco> stefg:  eh ?
[03:15] <paitart> hi! how do i make my proxim orinoco gold 8420-WD work on my ubuntu 6.06 LTS?
[03:15] <wouaren> does someone know if "news" user log itself sometimes ? I got a certain amount of log lines with "session opened for user news by (uid=0)" in logcheck report... :)
[03:15] <jessed> hello i'm new to ubuntu and i am trying to install ndiswrapper. I followed the instructions to get an error so i believe its somehting with the kernel.  when i type in sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` command i  recieve an error E: Couldn't find package linux-headers-uname -r.  Could anyone please give me some insight to this issue
[03:15] <stefg> Draco: sudo chown /media/storage root:plugdev
[03:15] <un_operateur> wouaren, probably root's cron jobs
[03:15] <rusher> paitart , is it a hd?
[03:16] <Riyonuk> my_haz, how do I completly update my system?
[03:16] <paitart> rusher, its a wireless (b)card
[03:16] <rusher> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[03:16] <rusher> install ndiswrapper and reboot
[03:16] <Draco> stefg: chown: `/media/storage': invalid user
[03:16] <wouaren> un_operateur: ok thanks i wondered if it was some kind of hacking !
[03:16] <paitart> ah ic
[03:16] <rusher> automatix helps a lot with the ndiswraper thing
[03:16] <paitart> thanks rusher
[03:17] <kurodachi> hola
[03:17] <un_operateur> jessed, perhaps just this -- sudo apt-get install linux-headers
[03:17] <pike_> paitart: all i had to do was sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules$(uname -r)
[03:17] <rusher> or seach for it in synaptic
[03:17] <jessed> it says "you should explicitly select one to install
[03:18] <Riyonuk> pike_, Hey, whats that game again? I think my firefox is working now
[03:18] <jessed> E:package linux headers ha no installation candidate
[03:18] <pike_> Riyonuk: website is temulous.info
[03:18] <Riyonuk> How do I completely update my system?
[03:18] <Riyonuk> ok
[03:18] <Draco> stefg: chown: `/media/storage': invalid user
[03:18] <un_operateur> jessed, make sure you spelt the thing right -- linux-headers
[03:18] <stefg> Draco... ok, so make it sudo chown 777 /media/storage ... you can deal with teh access rights later, and read a bit about file-ownerships in Linux
[03:19] <pike_> Riyonuk: er tremulous.info

[03:19] <FreeNet> hi people will like some kind soul to explain, how to use virtual directory for web servers? My problem is that i setup a file indexer in my webserver's document root... and one of it's setting asked me to create a folder outside of server root... with the php script set to point at it. so that file uploaded will be sent to there... but till now I cannot get this "so-called" virtual...
[03:19] <m12> i'm writing a script.  i need it to delete a folder for me.  however RMDIR won't delete a folder unless it's empty.  what should I use instead?
[03:19] <FreeNet> ...directory up. Will need help in understanding how it works.
[03:20] <Riyonuk> Well I clicked on offical files and its connecint
[03:20] <jhammel> m12: rm -rf;  but be warned!  its dangerous
[03:20] <m12> how so
[03:20] <Draco> rebooting
[03:20] <jessed> un_operateur> linux headers is already the newest version
[03:20] <ultm8> hello every1
[03:20] <my_haz> Riyonuk: like with the "sudo apt-get update" "sudo apt-get upgrade"
[03:20] <ultm8> am having a problem with avast antivirus
[03:20] <jhammel> m12: well, it will recursively remove everything.  so type it unwisely and your filesystem is pwned
[03:20] <jessed> yet when i attempt to install ndiswrapper i get all sorts of errors
[03:21] <Riyonuk> There has got to be something wrong with my connection...this is taking forever
[03:21] <stefg> !ndiswrapper

[03:23] <jessed> 2.6.17-10-generic
[03:24] <Grizzly616> alright... Im having problems with starting my computer, after installing ubuntu on it... I had a windows on the hard disk, but the linux was installed on the scsi drives, and now the grub doesn!t come in, just crashes when it loads. Help me, please!!!
[03:24] <davidwinter> hi all
[03:24] <Draco> stefg:  nope the drive is still not writable
[03:24] <zokzok_> allo
[03:24] <fabio__|> i would like to install ubuntu server on a machine in the office where i work. that machine has a Raid hardware device, if I try to run a Desktop Ubuntu live cd on that, can i be sure that RAID will be correctly recognized by the ubuntu server installation? thanks.
[03:24] <un_operateur> jessed, sudo aptitude install linux-headers-2.6.17-10-generic
[03:24] <slyboots_> Hi
[03:25] <davidwinter> I've almost fixed my screen resolution on my monitor. I've got it set to 1440x900 (supported by my monitor), however, it appears 'too wide'. That it doesn't all fit on the screen. The right hand portion, perhaps 20px is missing offscreen (the volume icon)
[03:25] <Vorbote> Grizzly616: Is grub in the first boot disk as per the BIOS?
[03:25] <jhall> hi. is there a way to pipe colored output to more or less?
[03:25] <slyboots_> I've run into a little problem, Ran usermod, and its trashed my group settings, so now I can no longer use Sudo
[03:25] <un_operateur> davidwinter, you probably need to use the buttons under your screen (on the monitor) to fine tune it a bit
[03:25] <w3ccv> davidwinter, the width control on the monito could fix that
[03:25] <jhall> or another method to capture colored output?
[03:26] <Draco> stefg:  nope the drive is still not writable
[03:26] <Grizzly616> Vorbote> how do i know<
[03:26] <Grizzly616> ?
[03:26] <un_operateur> jhall, errm, not really, why the fuss?? :)
[03:27] <fabio__|> anything nice to handle SVN through ubuntu?
[03:27] <accept> I need help on how to set up my WiFI router. The network-admin tool shows it but doesn't activate it. and I at least need to see all of the wifi networks. Please help!?
[03:27] <fabio__|> (i'm looking something like TortoiseSVN for windows)
[03:27] <stefg> draco : but if you just give 'mount' it's indicated that it's mounted read/write?
[03:27] <FreeNet> un_operateur: Ok... it's seems to be the perfect solution except can u pls tell me where should i put the <Directory>? Is it inside <VirtualHost *:80>? because i have 3 ports virtual hosting.
[03:27] <jhammel> accept: to see all the wifi networks, iwlist <device> scanning
[03:27] <accept> ok
[03:28] <jhall> un_operateur: well, i'm executing a script that has colored output and my terminal won't let me scroll up. I played with the scrolling settings but it didn't help. My next thought was to pipe the output to more or less but both more and less did not preserve the colored output and was just black and white
[03:28] <jhammel> accept: that works on most but not all cards
[03:28] <Draco> stefg: /dev/hdb1 on /media/storage type ext3 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
[03:28] <accept> No scan results
[03:28] <Riyonuk> There has got to be something wrong with firefox or my connection because Im downloading 100mb at 100kb/s and yet when browing it takes a good 5min to load google, why is this? I tried that Ipv6 thing and it didnt help much
[03:28] <un_operateur> FreeNet, the directory can reamin anywhere on the harddrive --  http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#directory
[03:28] <stefg> Draco ... where comes that 'noexec' from?
[03:28] <accept> jhammel: Isn't it supposed to be activated for that to work?
[03:28] <Draco> stefg:  dunno just typed mount
[03:29] <jonah1980> hi can anyone please help me out - how do i check if ports are firewalled under ubuntu - i'm using edgy and i've been trying to portforward on my router but they still seem to be closed...
[03:29] <erchache> anybody uses munin?
[03:29] <fabio__|> Riyonuk: maybe your dns has some issues?
[03:29] <plagerism> Okay, I am going to use lvm to create a logical volume across three different sized drives(250gb,320gb and 95gb) Can it still be striped??
[03:29] <daedra_> can't dd be used to write iso's to disk?
[03:29] <pike_> accept: steps i do to connect to a open AP: sudo ifconfig ath0 up  then  iwlist ath0 scan  then sudo iwconfig ath0 essid whatevername   then dhclient ath0   your card maybe wlan0 or eth1 or whatever
[03:29] <un_operateur> jhall, no pager is going to remember colour because it just recieves text piped to it and the colour meta info is not passed into the pipe
[03:29] <slyboots_> Okay, Is there a way to change the default root password in Ubuntu, *Without* using Sudo?
[03:29] <jhall> un_operateur: any other suggestions? :)
[03:29] <stefg> Draco: what happesn if you  'sudo touch /media/storage/testfile' ?
[03:29] <w3ccv> jonah1980, iptables -L
[03:30] <jhammel> slyboots_: boot disk?
[03:30] <slyboots_> I've got a live CD
[03:30] <fabio__|> can someone suggest me a good SVN client for Ubuntu??
[03:30] <rusher> i know how slyboots
[03:30] <rusher> sudo passwd root
[03:30] <my_haz> slyboots_: log in as root
[03:30] <slyboots_> My group-settings are trashed, and I can no longer use sudo
[03:30] <ph8> is nautilus rubbish for anyone else?
[03:30] <Grizzly616> alright... Im having problems with starting my computer, after installing ubuntu on it... I had a windows on the hard disk, but the linux was installed on the scsi drives, and now the grub doesn!t come in, just crashes when it loads. Help me, please!
[03:30] <Vorbote> plagerism: No. You have to create a raid0 on them first and the limitation is the smalest drive.
[03:30] <Riyonuk> Does DNS have to do with browing? This never happened in windows :p
[03:30] <un_operateur> jhall, I dont think there are any solutions/workarounds as i already explained why
[03:30] <ph8> it takes a good 7/8 seconds to delete on file on mine atm
[03:30] <LjL> slyboots_, boot with "init=/bin/sh" as a kernel parameter, then restore your group
[03:30] <jhall> hmm actually, i wonder if scrollings not working because i'm using screen...
[03:30] <erchache> i have a trouble with munin...any help?
[03:30] <ph8> and that operation freezes every other nautilus window
[03:30] <slyboots_> Hmm.. okay
[03:30] <asubedi> how would I know if current version of evince is compiled with dbus support
[03:30] <liakoSS> hi
[03:30] <my_haz> slyboots_: ctrl alt f2
[03:30] <Draco> stefg:  returns to prompt and file is created
[03:30] <liakoSS> ?!?
[03:30] <pike_> ph8: thunar owns nautilus imo.  naut is too big
[03:31] <ph8> thunar?
[03:31] <Riyonuk> fabio__|, how do I fix my DNS?
[03:31] <stefg> Draco, so it's just a permission thing for you as a user..
[03:31] <pike_> ph8: xubuntu
[03:31] <plagerism> Vorbote, can I create a striped logical volume with the same size as the smallest volume, and then a linear of the rest?
[03:31] <jonah1980> w3ccv, it says something about destination and chains - do i need to put port addresses in too?
[03:31] <Draco> stefg why cant i be the owner ?
[03:31] <Vorbote> plagerism: YUP
[03:31] <fabio__|> Riyonuk: /etc/resolv.conf
[03:31] <stefg> Draco...you could try, but actually the chmod 777 should have made the drive writabl by anyone
[03:32] <Draco> stefg it didnt include everyone when i look at properties
[03:32] <w3ccv> jonah1980, pastebin the output, i'lltake a look
[03:32] <stefg> draco, so set it... with a root-nautilus
[03:33] <Draco> stefg:  others has read and execute bit no write
[03:33] <stefg> so check write
[03:33] <Vorbote> plagerism: I haven't tried it but try tis, make your LVM, meke two volumes the same size and strip them, it should work (it is relativelively easy to fool mdadm).
[03:33] <Riyonuk> fabio__|, what about that file?
[03:33] <erchache> and after....mark wants ubuntu on servers....
[03:33] <erchache> of 905 persons...nobody uses munin
[03:34] <Riyonuk> Well I just think I fixed it
[03:34] <Grizzly616> seeking assistance in running my pc normally, without liveCD, if someone could help me, i would be most grateful!!!!
[03:34] <Grizzly616> alright... Im having problems with starting my computer, after installing ubuntu on it... I had a windows on the hard disk, but the linux was installed on the scsi drives, and now the grub doesn!t come in, just crashes when it loads. Help me, please!
[03:34] <jonah1980> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39159/
[03:34] <Riyonuk> pike_, I fixed firefox :p
[03:34] <daedra_> jhall: im on screen too - it rocks!
[03:35] <daedra_> you just scroll with pgup/pgdown
[03:35] <MisterMAD> Ciao a tutti qualcuno parla italiano ?
[03:35] <daedra_> !it
[03:35] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[03:35] <jonah1980> sorry i left the chat by accident, above is the pastebin for my portforwarding problem
[03:35] <MohShami> hey guys, I installed ubuntu on my work PC, it had an ATI graphics card, I removed it and started using the built in intel card, which uses the i915 modle, but I can't seem to be able to install it, where can I find that module?
[03:36] <pike_> Riyonuk: what was problem?
[03:36] <stefg> Draco: BTW as a side note: run sudo tune2fs -m0 /dev/hdb1 (this will free the reserved 5% capacity for root)
[03:36] <Riyonuk> pike_, remmember I told you that google even took minutes to load?
[03:36] <pike_> Riyonuk: dns thing?
[03:37] <Riyonuk> No, I went to about:config and changed ipv6 to true :p
[03:37] <Riyonuk> anyways pike_, its 78% done
[03:37] <Grizzly616> OMFG, no one listens to mz questions!!!!! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarghhh!
[03:37] <FreeNet> un_operateur: Sorry for example give "Alias /img /var/images" - Does the /img folder has to be there in the document root?
[03:37] <jonah1980> hello can anyone please help me out - i think my system might be firewalled, i've opened up the port on my router but my p2p is still saying it's blocked - how do i check and open the port up?
[03:38] <cbx33> Grizzly616, what's up?
[03:38] <Riyonuk> Grizzly616, sorry to tell you, but were volunteers or whatever...gotta be paitent
[03:38] <plagerism> Grizzly616, whats the error grub gives you?
[03:38] <Grizzly616> >d
[03:38] <Grizzly616> wow.
[03:38] <Fraj> Hi
[03:38] <Grizzly616> it doesnt give me an error, it just stops
[03:38] <un_operateur> FreeNet,  /img is the "virtual directory" and should not exist on the filesystem -- meanwhile /var/images is the real directory and should exist
[03:38] <pike_> Riyonuk: well id install it to my home directory so just run it without sudo. like "bash filename.run" i normally make a /home/user/games folder before hand to install to
[03:38] <Fraj> how do i find out what graphic card iv got?
[03:38] <Riyonuk> Hi Fraj
[03:38] <yakumo> hello i reinstall my ubuntu and backup my file on another disk, the problem is the folder name changed to ???? it is suppose to be a japanese character...
[03:38] <stefg> jonah1980: you are using dhcp, aren't you?... Port-forwarding only works with fixed IP's in your LAN
[03:38] <Fraj> hi riyonuk
[03:38] <Grizzly616> and i have the same problem with other linuxes.
[03:39] <FreeNet> un_operateur: ok thanks
[03:39] <Fraj> basically
[03:39] <Riyonuk> pike_, wtf, I have to make a directory? It doesnt do it by itself? Wow, windows sure has made me lazy
[03:39] <Fraj> got a problem
[03:39] <Fraj> everytime i scroll down on any software
[03:39] <Fraj> the screen kinda flickers
[03:39] <Fraj> u know when it pauses for a secound and then scrols down
[03:39] <Fraj> it started when i upgraded to 6.10
[03:39] <Fraj> any ideas?
[03:39] <wouaren> perhaps videos drivers not correctly set or mouse driver problem
[03:39] <Riyonuk> Fraj, sounds like a graphics card kinda problem, I had that problem on windows, I just upgraded my video driver
[03:39] <un_operateur> stefg, port forward works with auto-assigned IPs too -- but there's no guarantee the port-forward will remain so forever because the IP address of the machine may change
[03:39] <uu> Fraj: vesa driver in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[03:40] <Fraj> ok so how do i find out what gfx iv got?
[03:40] <daedra_> lspci
[03:40] <Fraj> i kinda chucked my mobo box away
[03:40] <Fraj> lol
[03:40] <Riyonuk> :o
[03:40] <stefg> un_operateur: that's the long version, which i was to lazy to type :-)
[03:40] <Infeliz> chuk norris
[03:40] <Fraj> oh wait i found it
[03:40] <pike_> Riyonuk: itll make a tremulous dir but i dont like having a bunch of random folders in my home directory

[03:41] <un_operateur> stefg, better to have said - port-forwarding on non-fixed IP's is not a good idea ..
[03:41] <un_operateur> :)
[03:41] <Riyonuk> Fraj, maybe, if they support linux drivers, somtimes they dont :p
[03:41] <uu> Fraj: what card you have?
[03:41] <Grizzly616> and sorry, im just upset about ubuntu completely messing the whole thing up.
[03:41] <Fraj> its onboard
[03:41] <jonah1980> i'm using a static ip, but that's as far as i've got!!

[03:41] <fabio__|> when I add a new deb repository (ex: for beryl stuff) sometimes new updates or package (from the original ubuntu rep) appears.. So i don't want to upgrade the stuff for secondaries repositories, how can i know from which repository a package will be upgraded? thanks.
[03:41] <Grizzly616> And i dont want to use it anymore for now.
[03:41] <uu> Fraj: that's for you hard disk not video :)
[03:42] <Riyonuk> pike_, uhh how do I make a folder?
[03:42] <jonah1980> my service provider has the option to assign a static ip, so i'm lucky there
[03:42] <andyshack> evening folks. has anyone had any luck getting some of the upnp servers running on ubuntu ? id love to nuke my dos box.
[03:42] <Fraj> NVIDIA GeForce 6100
[03:42] <Fraj> thats the chipset
[03:42] <stefg> jonah1980: so see your routers manual how to set up port forwarding on the ports you use for your P2P
[03:42] <Infeliz> Riyonuk: mkdir
[03:42] <un_operateur> jonah1980, but the IP address on your LAN machine must be fixed too for port-forwarding to be guaranteed
[03:42] <Riyonuk> Ill try
[03:42] <Fraj> ok it doesnt support linux
[03:42] <pike_> Riyonuk: mkdir directoryname      or you can just right click and make one using the file manager. so mkdir ~/games  or mkdir /home/user/games the ~/ equals /home/yourusername
[03:42] <Fraj> :S
[03:42] <Fraj> onli windows
[03:43] <jonah1980> stefg, i've done as it says but gtorrent is still saying it's blocked and the port test says it's closed
[03:43] <Fraj>     *  Socket AM2 for AMD Athlon 64FX / 64X2 / 64 and Sempron processors
[03:43] <Fraj>     * nVidia GeForce 6100 chipset
[03:43] <Fraj>     * nVidia nForce 410 MCP chipset
[03:43] <un_operateur> !paste | Fraj
[03:43] <ubotu> Fraj: 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 (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[03:43] <stefg> jonah1980: is your Provider blocking p2p-traffic?
[03:43] <uu> Fraj: then edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, find where driver is set to vesa, and change it to nv
[03:43] <Riyonuk> pike_, so mkdir ~/games would be the same?
[03:43] <Fraj> Integrated NV44 graphics DX9.0 VGA, Pixel Shader 3.0, Max. shared memory 128MB
[03:43] <jonah1980> un_operateur, how do i do this then? i tried turning dhcp off in networking but then i couldn't acess my router or internet
[03:43] <pike_> Riyonuk: yeah
[03:43] <Fraj> ok hold on
[03:43] <andyshack> jonah1980 : go to canyouseeme.org and test there to see if your port is open.
[03:44] <Riyonuk> Ok, I see it pike_ but it doesnt have a folder icon, it has a orange circle with a white lock
[03:44] <reiki> using uuidgen I have generated a new UUID for /dev/hda1. Using tune2fs -U I have assigned that new UUID to /dev/hda1. The new UUID is shown properly in /dev/disk/by-uuid HOWEVER ... blkid still shows the old UUID. How do I get blkid to rescan? It seems to be using a cachefile
[03:44] <un_operateur> jonah1980, keep DHCP on the router on .. but assign your eth0 a static address
[03:44] <Infeliz> use nmap -sS :P
[03:44] <jonah1980> stefg, they might be but i've done as portforward website suggests and tried using the port 60000 instead of 6881
[03:44] <Fraj> uu
[03:44] <Fraj> do i open the file xorg.conf
[03:44] <Fraj> and
[03:44] <Fraj> replace
[03:44] <Fraj> Driver		"vesa"
[03:44] <Riyonuk> how do I delete a file?
[03:45] <Fraj> vesa bit with nv
[03:45] <Fraj> then save?
[03:45] <un_operateur> jonah1980, after you assign a static address, make sure the ports are being forwarded to the right IP address
[03:45] <un_operateur> Fraj, stop
[03:45] <pike_> Riyonuk: its not a fps but you can apt-get install wesnoth wesnoth-music   kind of a might and magic game not bad
[03:45] <Riyonuk> Fraj, make it one sentance
[03:45] <jonah1980> un_operateur, thanks, so am i leaving the dhcp on the networking options in ubuntu and just changing within the router or vice versa?
[03:45] <Fraj> make what one sentence?
[03:45] <Riyonuk> pike_, I gotta delete that games folder, it wont let me :(
[03:45] <Fraj> my writing?
[03:45] <Riyonuk> yes
[03:45] <Fraj> oh right ok  sorry
[03:45] <Fraj> so am i doing ther ight thing?
[03:45] <pike_> Riyonuk: rm filenaem or rm -fr directory  to delete a folder and contents or rmdir to delete empty dir
[03:45] <uu> Fraj: yes, replace vesa with nv
[03:45] <Fraj> ok
[03:46] <Fraj> You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please, check that you typed the location correctly and try again
[03:46] <un_operateur> jonah1980, no no no, otherway around --  keep the router acting as a DHCP server -- but assign a ststic IP address to ubuntu
[03:46] <Fraj> it ownt let me :S what do i do?
[03:46] <un_operateur> static*
[03:46] <un_operateur> Fraj, sudo gedit /path/to/file
[03:46] <jonah1980> un_operateur, cool thanks, what do i put for subnet and default gateway settings?
[03:47] <uu> Fraj: sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf, replace vim with your favorite editor :)
[03:47] <stefg> jonah1980: i just tried to ping you... i suspect port 60000 is simply closed by your ISP... he might have a 'only known ports' policy
[03:47] <un_operateur> jonah1980, I dont use gnome -- but i think this should work at your terminal -- network-admin
[03:47] <Riyonuk> pike_, it says uncompressing and 2 rows of dots, is this right?
[03:47] <pike_> Riyonuk: yeah
[03:48] <un_operateur> jonah1980, the IP address and subnet mask depend on what your router uses for it's LAN/private address
[03:48] <Riyonuk> wtf, hey theres kinda like a install screen
[03:48] <Riyonuk> its just crappy looking XD
[03:48] <un_operateur> jonah1980, best you check the router now and find out
[03:48] <xecto> cn
[03:48] <Riyonuk> Cool its installing
[03:48] <Riyonuk> this is so exciting
[03:49] <daedra_> lol what's installing?
[03:49] <pike_> Fraj: i love vim but as uu said replace that with an easier editor like nano or even gedit
[03:49] <jonah1980> un_operateur, it says subnet mask: 255.0.0.0   -   but how do i find the gateway?
[03:49] <Fraj> im using vim :)
[03:49] <Riyonuk> pike_, it worked! It has a black planet on the left...
[03:49] <un_operateur> jonah1980, errm, hold up -- first, get to the router, and find out what it uses for it's LAN/private address
[03:49] <stefg> jonah1980: look at your routers docu
[03:49] <pike_> Riyonuk: it launched automatically?
[03:49] <Riyonuk> pike_, but I dont see it in Applications/Games...yeah
[03:50] <pike_> Riyonuk: it wont setup shortcuts
[03:50] <Fraj> ermm it wont let me type stuff in lol
[03:50] <jonah1980> un_operateur, what's that, the MAC address??
[03:50] <pike_> Riyonuk:  youll have to go to /home/games/tremulous or wherever you installed and type ./tremulous to run
[03:50] <un_operateur> jonah1980, no, IP address -- LAN-side IP address
[03:50] <Riyonuk> pike_, meh, thats lame
[03:51] <jonah1980> un_operateur, my static ip? that my provider gave me?
[03:51] <Riyonuk> is it multiplayer? If so I wish to play you :p
[03:51] <un_operateur> jonah1980, usually something like -- 192.168.1.1 / 255.255.255.0
[03:51] <un_operateur> jonah1980, nope, thats the WAN-side/public IP address, you need the other one
[03:51] <Fraj> ok i chaned it now what do i do?
[03:51] <Fraj> reboot?
[03:51] <pike_> Riyonuk: ln -s ~/games/tremulous ~/Desktop/Tremulous   to make a shortcut to desktop
[03:51] <cbx33> ipconfig
[03:51] <pike_> Riyonuk: er ~/games/tremulous/tremulous i mean
[03:52] <Riyonuk> wait..what?
[03:52] <pike_> Riyonuk: id just use the file maner for now to navagate to it and then doubleclick the ln -s makes a symbolic link or a 'shortcut' to things
[03:52] <Fraj> uu
[03:52] <Fraj> pike ?
[03:52] <Fraj> riyonuk
[03:53] <Fraj> any ideas?
[03:53] <Fraj> iv changed itt o nv
[03:53] <pike_> Fraj: you saved changes
[03:53] <Fraj> do i need to reboot?
[03:53] <pike_> ?
[03:53] <Fraj> yes
[03:53] <jonah1980> un_operateur, all i can find is the static ip i've been given, which is there on router with subnet thing next to it
[03:53] <uu> Fraj: yes, reboot, or press ctrl-alt-backspace - this will kill your X-server
[03:53] <Riyonuk> pike_, ok, I made the shortcut, it has no cool icon though :p
[03:53] <Fraj> ok tanks
[03:53] <pike_> alt-ctrl-backspace or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[03:54] <pike_> does it run?
[03:54] <daedra_> anyone know of a decent ncurses based music player that deals with playlists?
[03:55] <un_operateur> jonah1980, you on ubuntu now?
[03:55] <jonah1980> un_operateur, it's got the option to set a dhcp start and end address if this helps?
[03:55] <jonah1980> un_operateur, yeah edgy
[03:55] <genius314> I need help fixing my resolution
[03:55] <Riyonuk> pike_, uhh yeah, the link is broken, so I figured I would just type Tremuluous in the terminal and it says "bash: tremuluous: command not found
[03:55] <Riyonuk> "
[03:56] <un_operateur> jonah1980, type this out at your terminal -- ifconfig -a
[03:56] <pike_> Riyonuk: open a terminal then just ./tremulous
[03:56] <daedra_> !mpg321
[03:56] <ubotu> mpg321: A Free command-line mp3 player, compatible with mpg123. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.10.3 (edgy), package size 33 kB, installed size 128 kB

[03:56] <daedra_> !ncurses
[03:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ncurses - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:56] <Riyonuk> Well I navigated my way to the actual folder, is it the pic of a spider, pike_?
[03:56] <pike_> Riyonuk: it should have made a shortcut in your home dir you have to in terminal either type the full path to something or if youre in same dir ./file  to run it
[03:57] <pike_> Riyonuk: i dunno i have a very simple setup no gnome
[03:57] <Ha1> I just got my internet working. I need to install a Gaim plugin. However, there is no plugins directory in /home/myname/.gaim
[03:57] <Ha1> What do I do?
[03:57] <piiimp> where would i go to customize my 'Applications' menu.  THere's obsolete entries under 'Games' etc that I want to remove from the menu
[03:57] <Riyonuk> Ahh, pike_, I figured it out, its .x86
[03:57] <Fraj> hi im back
[03:58] <Fraj> its fixed!
[03:58] <jonah1980> un_operateur, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39167/
[03:58] <genius314> I tried changing my resolution to 1280x1024, but when I restarted, I had a resolution of 1280x800, and can't go up to 1024. Can anyone help?
[03:58] <Fraj> how do i change my resoulution ?
[03:58] <un_operateur> piiimp, (what a name??) -- at your terminal -- gmenu-simple-editor
[03:58] <Fraj> thank you for all your help!
[03:58] <stefg> piiimp: that's almost disturbing windows'ish... right click on the App-menu and select edit
[03:58] <Ha1> I just got my internet working. I need to install a Gaim plugin. However, there is no plugins directory in /home/myname/.gaim
[03:58] <Ha1> What do I do?
[03:58] <piiimp> thanks guys sorry if the name offends =)
[03:58] <pike_> Riyonuk: default graphics  settings are crappy youll have to go in options and scale em up once the game is running
[03:58] <Riyonuk> pike_, wow, 2min into the game and Im lost, Ok I go to Play and then what do I do?
[03:59] <daedra_> ctrl+alt+plussign cycles through resolutions
[03:59] <un_operateur> jonah1980, ok, thats well and good -- now what's the output of this -- route -n
[03:59] <Fraj> now the problem is it wont let me increase ther resoulution from 800X600 !
[03:59] <pike_> Riyonuk: play then there should be a button to toggle to "internet" servers then refresh or maybe 'retrieve list' or something
[03:59] <Ha1> I need to install a Gaim plugin. However, there is no plugins directory in /home/myname/.gaim. What do I do?
[04:00] <jonah1980> un_operateur, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39168/
[04:00] <Riyonuk> ok
[04:00] <genius314> Ha1: There's no plugin directory at all?
[04:00] <Fraj> pike
[04:00] <stefg> Ha1: i'd /j #gaim for that
[04:00] <Fraj> the problems fixed but now the resolution wont changed fomr 800X600!
[04:00] <pike_> Fraj: nvidia card?
[04:00] <uu> Fraj: edit the xorg.conf again - you should find Modes line
[04:00] <Ha1> Genius: Nope
[04:00] <Fraj> yeh nvidia card
[04:00] <McFlow> hello everyone!
[04:00] <McFlow> i need help concernig trouble with my alsa and oss sound anyone able to help me?
[04:00] <Fraj> whats the command again to get xorg.conf up ?
[04:00] <Ha1> Genius: I have some plugins working, though, so I know theyre there
[04:01] <stefg> !sound
[04:01] <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 that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin
[04:01] <uu> Fraj: oh, and you can use sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg - it would be kind of user-friendly stuff :)
[04:01] <Riyonuk> pike_, is it possible to run it not fullscreen? Like in a little screen to the side?
[04:01] <reiki> still working on this UUID thing.... blkid does not appear to function without its cache file at /etc/blkid.tab. And if the cache file is incorrect it does not appear to update .... this seems broken
[04:01] <pike_> Fraj: as uu said.  also check the wiki on installing nvidia drivers wiki.ubuntu.com
[04:01] <un_operateur> jonah1980, ok, the IP address to be used is 10.0.0.15, subnet maskk: 255.0.0.0 and Default Gateway : 10.0.0.2
[04:01] <pike_> Riyonuk: i think so it would be under options
[04:01] <Riyonuk> in the game, or in folder?
[04:02] <pike_> Riyonuk: in the game. you shouldnt have to do any more setup out of the game
[04:02] <Fraj> ok uu
[04:02] <McFlow> my problem is that alsa sound comes with a bit latency... for example in call of duty running with wine: i shoot and one second later i hear it.... its like that with every application....
[04:02] <McFlow> is it normal?
[04:02] <piiimp> i just noticed, using the 2 methods you guys told me theres a bit of a difference...  i did the right-click on applications menu and selected 'Edit Menus' and removed an entry I didn't want there, but it still shows up just doesnt have a checkmark beside it anymore.  However if I use the 'gmenu-simple-editor' command it brings up the same editor but that entry is no longer even visible...
[04:02] <Fraj> can utell me the thing so i can bring up the xorg conf
[04:02] <Fraj> the one u told me at the begining
[04:02] <Ha1> I need to install a Gaim plugin. However, there is no plugins directory in /home/myname/.gaim. What do I do?
[04:02] <genius314> Ha1: Actually I don't have a plug-in folder either. It could be in a different folder, or Gaim uses a different way to store plug-ins.
[04:02] <Morrissey> Hi! I just updated to latest SVN of beryl ... but now it wont take my buttons on the mouse ... ie: Button 17 (wich xev shows) used to enable window picker ... but now I cant set the button to "17" in beryl-settings anymore .. why?

[04:03] <genius314> Ha1: What do you need to do that requires you to access the plug-in folder?
[04:03] <Fraj> uu ?
[04:03] <Morrissey> stefg, what would that do for me?
[04:03] <Ha1> Genius: I just need to install a plugin
[04:03] <Fraj> pike how do i call the config from the terminal?
[04:03] <un_operateur> piiimp, use the right-click method and restart gnome -- the setting ought to stick then
[04:03] <genius314> Ha1: Did you look for it in the package manager?
[04:03] <stefg> Morrissey: a freindly hint to ask that in #ubuntu-xgl, beryl questions are offtopic here :-)
[04:03] <piiimp> mm ok thanks
[04:03] <uu> Fraj: sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[04:04] <Fraj> thanks

[04:05] <Ha1> [I have a similar lag, I avoid it by using pagedown :-\] 
[04:05] <Fraj> kirrus

[04:05] <Nibbier> Kirrus, i had similar problems with xinerama
[04:05] <genius314> Ha1: The plug-in. Look for it in the package manager.
[04:05] <Ha1> Genius:No, its written specially by a mate to get around some issues I been having
[04:05] <Fraj> uu what do i do with the modes?
[04:05] <uu> Fraj: look for DefaultDepth    - the Xserver will use Modes for that depth

[04:06] <McFlow> http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wiwimod/index.php?page=HOWTO+Sound
[04:06] <McFlow> teamspeak still does not work, and the sound has a latency since then....
[04:06] <McFlow> is there another way except reinstalling dapper? ty
[04:06] <genius314> Ha1: Ok. Well I don't know, then. I'm going to go look for the folder, but I might not find it.
[04:06] <Ha1> Genius: Thanks
[04:07] <uu> Fraj: and you are at stuck at 800x600 ? maybe monitor section, the sync ranges are too narrow.. better go for sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and answer all the questions
[04:08] <Fraj> ok

[04:09] <Kream> hi all, what is  (realistically) the maximum size required for /usr partition ? I'm making an LTSP server on a machine with 320gb of space - I want to dedicate the maximum amount of space to the users' home directories, but will probably also be doing some development work on it
[04:09] <piiimp> oh one other question, is it not possible to share the sound device with an app using ALSA and OSS simultaneously?
[04:10] <LameBMX> <-- just got done reinstalling over sound ... but i learned the issue
[04:10] <Ha1> Genius: Any luck?
[04:10] <daedra_> q
[04:11] <genius314> Ha1: Check in /usr/lib/Gaim. It might be what you're looking for.

[04:14] <genius314> Ok, I'm stuck here with a widescreen resolution, but my monitor isn't widescreen. In other words, I have 1280x800, and I want 1280x1024. Can anyone help?
[04:14] <alexcs786> waw! so many people use ubuntu!
[04:14] <Jussi01> Hei all, how do I open a port in ubuntu(for bittorrent)??
[04:14] <Kirrus> Jussi01: do you have any firewalls installed?
[04:15] <Jussi01> yeah, but not on at the moment - firestarter
[04:15] <Jussi01> arent all the ports closed by default?
[04:15] <Theodor> Guys, I need help in installing Ubunut. I'm currently in choosing which partition to use.
[04:15] <Theodor> Any ideas?
[04:15] <Kirrus> Jussi01: firestarter runs in the background unless you specifically tell it not to, have you opened the control panel, and stopped it?
[04:15] <Theodor> I have 3 partitions, one for windows, one free and the other to save data on.
[04:15] <Jussi01> oh, no I havent
[04:15] <alexcs786> Theodor, how big is your HD?
[04:16] <Kirrus> Jussi01: try that
[04:16] <rocknrolf77> Anyone who knows what ports to open for gaim/msn?
[04:16] <Theodor> It's 60 gb. I have 30 for windows "First driver", 20 for second driver "the one I want to install Ubuntu on", and 3 gb to store my data files when I'm using windows.
[04:17] <Theodor> Currently, it's telling me that I need to choose partitions to mount / and swap
[04:17] <Theodor> but no idea what to choose.
[04:17] <lumaQQ> 
[04:17] <paitart> hi! how do i install the proxim orinoco gold card (model Number 8420-wd) on my ubuntu 6.06?
[04:17] <alexcs786> delete the 20gb partition
[04:17] <alexcs786> create one with the same size of your RAM memory
[04:18] <Jussi01>  Kirrus: ok, that sorts it, now how do I permanently open the port?
[04:18] <genius314> Theodor: I think you aren't supposed to partition it until you are installing Ubuntu. I did, and I can't use 20GB of space.
[04:18] <alexcs786> flag it as swap
[04:18] <Theodor> How can I do that from within the Ubuntu installation ?
[04:18] <jonah1980> un_operateur, hi again, sorry chat disconnected when i rebooted router
[04:18] <michaelpo> how do you make gaim auto join a # of certain server?
[04:18] <jonah1980> un_operateur, so will i have to put a different ip address and settings if i switch router/modem off and then on again?
[04:18] <alexcs786> you are at the live CD or DVD, right?
[04:18] <Theodor> DVD
[04:19] <Theodor> I can go back to where I choose what method I ned.
[04:19] <alexcs786> so, quit the instalation program
[04:19] <Theodor> need*
[04:19] <jonah1980> un_operateur, the shieldsup website test is still saying my 60000 port is closed!!
[04:19] <Theodor> then ?
[04:19] <dllh> getting a "no route to host" error when trying to ssh from one ubuntu box on my network to another; I could connect last week!
[04:19] <alexcs786> and use a partitioner
[04:19] <alexcs786> I guess Qparted is available
[04:19] <Theodor> I need to partition the free drive, yes?
[04:19] <alexcs786> yes
[04:19] <Kirrus> Jussi01: OK, if you go into the firestarter control panel, look around for a tab of ports... sorry, I havent used firestarter in ages: use firehol instead...
[04:19] <alexcs786> to create a swap file
[04:19] <Theodor> How much do I need for the swap file ?
[04:19] <genius314> Ok has anyone ever been able to configure a 1280x1024 resolution on two monitors with two ATI cards?
[04:19] <alexcs786> is your computer a laptop?
[04:20] <Theodor> yes
[04:20] <alexcs786> so, another use to the swap partition is hybernation
[04:20] <Theodor> Okay
[04:20] <Kirrus> Jussi01: you need to define a set of open ports, the range 6881-6999 normally suffices
[04:20] <Theodor> but there are more options like: /home and the like. I don't have to specify these ?
[04:20] <alexcs786> so, Alt+F2
[04:21] <artbird309> Theodor: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/
[04:21] <un_operateur> jonah1980, you should be able to set the IP address once and forget about it -- rebooting the router should have no effect
[04:21] <Theodor> arieler176, thanks mate.
[04:21] <alexcs786> no, unless you want to put your personal files in a separate partition
[04:21] <Jussi01> Kirrus:thanks sorted now :)
[04:21] <un_operateur> jonah1980, are you sure port 60000 on the router is forwarded to the right IP address (10.0.0.15, i think) ?
[04:21] <Theodor> So the only to things to worry about are the / root and swap files.
[04:21] <alexcs786> yep
[04:22] <genius314> Is there anyone who can help with my resolution problem?
[04:22] <emacla> How do i remove the "read-only" from a file trough the terminal?
[04:22] <Theodor> Will that program work on windows ?
[04:22] <FunnyLookinHat> emacla, chmod +rw file

[04:22] <mojojojo__> hi... The mouse sometimes stops to work in edgy... How can I deal with it?
[04:23] <artbird309> Theodor: it is a live cd so you burn it and then boot for it like ubuntu cd
[04:23] <mojojojo__> <bloody edgy, all it brought is troubles>
[04:23] <emacla> FunnyLookinHat: Thanks
[04:24] <jonah1980> un_operateur, ah cool, i still had the static ip in there, thanks that has opened it up now!
[04:25] <un_operateur> jonah1980, :)
[04:25] <emacla> How do i "log in as root"?
[04:25] <LjL`_> !root > emacla
[04:25] <un_operateur> emacla, you shouldn't
[04:25] <emacla> Why not?
[04:26] <emacla> un_operateur: Why not?
[04:26] <jonah1980> un_operateur, now it does say i can have upto 20 mapped ports? how many should i have, do i just put start and end address same or do i open up 20?
[04:26] <wheels3572> emacla, it's not a safe procedure to do anything as root.
[04:26] <un_operateur> emacla, because *nix is designed in such a way that if a user requires superuser privileges, he can assume then via sudo
[04:26] <wheels3572> emacla, 99.9% of what you need to do can be done iwthout root
[04:26] <jonah1980> un_operateur, and in gtorrent do just put the 20ports i've opened?
[04:27] <FunnyLookinHat> awww come on fellas...   how much damage could he really do with root access?   ; )
[04:27] <emacla> I can't change the permissions for a file, because it says root is the woner, and i'm not root.
[04:27] <Genscher> i have a problem with the live cd ubuntu 6.06 LTS desktop version
[04:27] <un_operateur> jonah1980, usually the application only requires one port to be open .. but torrents(horrid things) have always been different
[04:27] <Genscher> :)
[04:27] <un_operateur> jonah1980, I'd check with the docs
[04:27] <FunnyLookinHat> emacla, then do this:   sudo chmod +rw filename
[04:27] <stefg> emacla: sudo chown ....
[04:28] <Genscher> the computer won't start ubuntu :(
[04:28] <Genscher> sometimes it hangs on the zlib_fs error, sometimes a bit later
[04:28] <stefg> !doesn't work
[04:28] <ubotu> Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel)
[04:28] <jonah1980> un_operateur, ok thanks for all your help (once again!!) bye for now, no doubt i'll speak to you again
[04:28] <jonah1980> ;)
[04:28] <un_operateur> jonah1980, yw :)
[04:28] <stefg> Genscher: yu CD is probably bad
[04:28] <Theodor> What file extention to use for a swap drive? ext3 or something ?
[04:29] <un_operateur> Theodor, no file system -- swap uses swap
[04:29] <Genscher> so i think the problem could also be that i have some harddisks with XFS and in need of I2O driver
[04:29] <Genscher> (and a bad table)
[04:29] <Theodor> un_operateur, I'm partitioning my drive using Gparted
[04:29] <mwe> Theodor: you don't use a file extension. create a swap partition
[04:29] <Genscher> so what i need is a option that ubuntu doesn't try to automount my HD's
[04:29] <emacla> FunnyLookinHat: Doesn't work. I downloaded XAMPP for Linux (LAMPP), and i can't edit php.ini
[04:29] <Theodor> How do I do that using Gparted? I'm currently using it within Ubuntu installation.
[04:29] <Genscher> is there some way to preventz automounting?
[04:30] <un_operateur> Theodor, a swap parititon uses the swap file system -- usually ubuntu selects that automatically
[04:30] <Theodor> is it Linux-swap ?
[04:30] <mwe> Theodor: yes
[04:30] <Theodor> kay, thanks,
[04:30] <FunnyLookinHat> emacla, try this:   sudo chmod 666 php.ini
[04:30] <Theodor> I was told that I need to create 2 partition. One for swap and the other for /
[04:30] <alexcs786> that's it
[04:30] <mwe> Genscher: noauto under options for the partition in /ets/fstab
[04:31] <un_operateur> Theodor, at the bare minimum, thats what you need, yes
[04:31] <Theodor> un_operateur, what FileSystem for the drive where I will install my Ubuntu?
[04:31] <Genscher> mwe: i can't change /etc/fstab on the live-cd :)
[04:31] <Theodor> Create as: Logical Partition .. Filesystem ?
[04:31] <mwe> Genscher: no
[04:31] <wheels3572> Is anyone here good with figuring out a sound issue.  My problem is apparently my onboard sound is over riding my soundcard EVEN THOUGH my onboard sound is shut OFF in the bios.
[04:31] <un_operateur> Theodor, ext3 seems to be the norm for most ubuntu users nowadays
[04:31] <mwe> Genscher: why must it not mount your partitions?
[04:31] <emacla> FunnyLookinHat: Hurray! I love you.
[04:31] <un_operateur> Theodor, go with ext3
[04:31] <Theodor> Do you have time to explain why? or should I just go with it?
[04:32] <Genscher> mwe: because they have a bad XFS table and crash on mounting.....
[04:32] <FunnyLookinHat> emacla, heh...  google "linux file permissions tutorial" if you wanna learn more about that command
[04:32] <Genscher> i need to fix tghe filessystem before
[04:32] <Genscher> *the
[04:32] <straterra> LolZ! Where can I get Slackware?
[04:32] <un_operateur> wheels3572, errm, delete the ~/.asounrc* files and run asoundconf again
[04:32] <alexcs786> www.slackware.org
[04:32] <stefg> Theodor: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation is worth a read :-)
[04:32] <Theodor> Okay now I have New partition #1 and #2
[04:33] <Theodor> I quit Gparted and I continue?
[04:33] <wheels3572> un_operateur, ok same issue as lastnight I had no definite fix lol.  so I will delete just that
[04:33] <Theodor> or should I do something else?
[04:33] <straterra> Can I run Slackware on Windows?
[04:33] <un_operateur> Theodor, ext3 is probably the most stable atm .. very widely used and supported
[04:33] <Theodor> Okay, I did choose that extention,
[04:33] <un_operateur> ext2 is sorry -- ext3 adds on extra functionality to ext2
[04:33] <M0E^lnx> Theodor: don't forget to hit the "apply changes button" becore you exit
[04:33] <Theodor> yeah, I just noticed it ;p
[04:34] <wheels3572> un_operateur, what's the correct syntax to do that ?
[04:34] <Theodor> meh, I got an error
[04:34] <LameBMX> un_operateur, found it in the forums .. i wasnt in the sound group lol
[04:34] <Theodor> now I have 26 gb of unallocated
[04:34] <jacquesmerde> which is the best repo for up-do-date flash, not wanting to risk enabling backports...
[04:34] <stefg> Genscher, you need this first: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[04:34] <un_operateur> wheels3572, errm, -- rm ~/.asound* -- and then asoundconf --list
[04:34] <M0E^lnx> Theodor: you need to create the partitions in that "unallocated" space
[04:34] <un_operateur> wheels3572, errm, make that  asoundconf --help
[04:35] <eztk> is it possible to resize partitions (like partition magic) using gparted ?? whilst using the live CD or while partitions are unmounted
[04:35] <un_operateur> LameBMX, :) glad it works now :)
[04:35] <artbird309> eztk: yes
[04:35] <Theodor> FreeSpace following should be 0 or the remaining free space?
[04:35] <piiimp> I want to play the game 'Savage' and use 'TeamSpeak' while playing.  I can only have sound working in one or the other, not both at once...  can audio be shared with ALSA and OSS or between only ALSA and ALSA or only OSS and OSS?
[04:35] <jacquesmerde> eztk: i think thats precisely why gparted was put on the livecd
[04:35] <eztk> eztk: cool, i have 90gb of space unallocated.. want to allocate to / and /home
[04:36] <Lidys> Salut
[04:36] <eztk> jacquesmerde: i thought so, but wasnt sure if i could add space to existing partitions
[04:36] <j_ack> genius314 ?
[04:36] <Theodor> What does Round to cylinders do ?
[04:36] <un_operateur> piiimp, the sound device is usually shared -- it's probably the game that's locking it

[04:37] <LameBMX> how does one go about adding suggestions to authors of a wiki?
[04:37] <jacquesmerde> eztk: i don't think you can resize partitions without formatting everything on them
[04:37] <genius314> j_ack: What?
[04:37] <eztk> jacquesmerde: damn :(
[04:37] <j_ack> genius314, you have a wacom-tablet ?
[04:37] <un_operateur> wheels3572, errm, do you know which one you want to set as the default?
[04:37] <eztk> jacquesmerde: thats a shame...
[04:37] <paitart> hi! how do i install the proxim orinoco gold card (model Number 8420-wd) on my ubuntu 6.06?
[04:37] <genius314> j_ack: Yes. Graphire 3.
[04:38] <wheels3572> un_operateur, Yeah my CA0106
[04:38] <j_ack> genius314, have you configure it
[04:38] <eztk> jacquesmerde: is there a commercial package around like partition magic that could resize ext3 partitions on the fly ?
[04:38] <un_operateur> wheels3572, then you use  -- asoundconf set-default-card CA0106
[04:38] <wheels3572> un_operateur, that seems to be the 2nd option though.  from what im seeing
[04:38] <kane77> I have a bit intricate question... I want to have a multi language ubuntu... so for me it'd be in english, but for my dad it'd be in my native language... is it possible?? (how hard it'd be?)

[04:40] <un_operateur> wheels3572, should be done now

[04:41] <genius314> j_ack: Yes.
[04:41] <Riyonuk> Thats pretty much it, Im just scrolling down and it closes, so I reopen it and it asks if I want to restore my session, also GAIM does the same thing, and pages take forever to load >_>
[04:41] <jikanter> ok, do that, then type in sudo su
[04:41] <un_operateur> wheels3572, ok -- open up gnome-sound-properties and select the device for default audio playback
[04:41] <Theodor> If I don't want to touch my other drives, I should keep them empty?
[04:41] <Theodor> I'm currently choose which drive and stuff.
[04:41] <jikanter> it should ask you for a password
[04:41] <Genscher> stefg: and that link doesn't help for disabling automounting for live cd
[04:42] <j_ack> genius314, ok, at first install the package wacom-tools.

[04:46] <Genscher> sometimes a few lines above that
[04:46] <rawrbbq> my ubuntu system crashed, and I got an error log, now what should I do?

[04:46] <mwe> Genscher: are you sure it's because it can't mount that partition?
[04:46] <stefg> rawrbbq: what about reading it?
[04:47] <j_ack> genius314, they are in the repository, online.
[04:47] <Theodor> if I choosed /media/sda5, it won't remove windows?
[04:47] <rawrbbq> jikanter: uh, why? it starts up oky
[04:47] <jikanter> oh
[04:47] <rawrbbq> stefg: hum
[04:47] <Theodor> becuase it's on the partition where I have windows installed.
[04:47] <jikanter> rawrbbq: nevermind
[04:47] <artbird309> Theodor: no
[04:47] <Theodor> Great. Thanks.
[04:47] <genius314> j_ack: ok.
[04:47] <emacla> jikanter: can't get it to work. I still dont have permission.
[04:47] <Theodor> what about media/sda1 ?
[04:47] <Genscher> hm, that's what i assumed when using knoppix there is a "can't mount no unknown point (0,0)" error (something like that)
[04:47] <Theodor> same thing?
[04:47] <mwe> Genscher: because it's just supposed to give a mount error and continue I think
[04:47] <jikanter> emacla: hmm, are you root?
[04:47] <un_operateur> Theodor, no, mounting a drive is not formatting it
[04:47] <Sainouhe> wage war on the machine don' t by jolly ranchers!
[04:47] <wheels3572> un_operateur, I open that up and at the bottom I goto select Default soundcard and NO options there.
[04:47] <rawrbbq> stefg: it doen't make any sense to me, I am a n00b
[04:47] <Sainouhe> buy*
[04:48] <emacla> You mean the "su" thing?
[04:48] <rawrbbq> I can paste the error log though, in here or in pm
[04:48] <stefg> rawrbbq: paste it to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ to let me have a look
[04:48] <rawrbbq> *stefg:
[04:48] <jikanter> emacla: yes
[04:48] <SuperLag> I'm looking for a media player that will allow me to connect to an Internet radio station... but the stuff I find in the repos seems to all require a FM tuner device.
[04:48] <rawrbbq> ok
[04:48] <Theodor> I have to tripple check everything, because my friend lost all his data when he installed Ubuntu
[04:48] <emacla> Yes
[04:48] <jikanter> emacla: what IRC client are you using? Xchat?
[04:48] <accept_> !bluetooth
[04:48] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[04:48] <Theodor> I can't afford that, as I have all my University data on it.
[04:48] <mwe> Genscher: but knoppix should not hang because of a mount eroor either
[04:48] <jellybear> hi there
[04:48] <Riyonuk> When is the next version going to be available?
[04:48] <jbroome> if only there was a way to back up data
[04:48] <jbroome> !feisty
[04:48] <ubotu> The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn"), it should be released in April 2007. At the moment it is alpha. Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyReleaseSchedule - Specifications (goals): https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/feisty - Help in #ubuntu+1
[04:49] <un_operateur> wheels3572, hmm -- is there a drop down menu for "sound playback" under the "Devices" tab?
[04:49] <mwe> Genscher: it should say what you describe and continue bootin anyway
[04:49] <rawrbbq> stefg: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39179/
[04:49] <jellybear> hi thereq: i have a kubuntu 6.10 installed on a usb-stick, which seems to run fine except one important detail: network connections. when running /etc/init.d/networking (or dhclient3 respectively) as root it keeps telling me "Permission denied" upon running /lib/dhcp3-client/call-dhclient-script. checked access rights on all libraries involved and their containing directories and they seem to be ok. tried to remove and add
[04:49] <jellybear> user/group dhcp with ids 101/100 - no success. tried 'apt-get install --reinstall dhcp3-client' - no success either. any ideas as of what might be the problem?
[04:49] <emacla> jikanter: Xchat GNOME, but i have normal Xchat too.
[04:49] <accept_> !bluetooth
[04:49] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[04:49] <Genscher> mwe: the weird thing is, that the machine just hangs at different locations. could that be a hardware error? i can hardly imagine that 3 burned cd's load nicely but doesn't get to the GUI
[04:49] <jikanter> emacla: ok, right click the mouse on my nickname in the window, and click private-chat
[04:49] <emacla> jikanter: ok
[04:50] <DarthVader> hello
[04:50] <mwe> Genscher: it hangs at different locations with the same CD on different boots?
[04:50] <Theodor> When the installation is done, will I get to choose windows or Ubuntu or I should do something else ?
[04:50] <Genscher> mwe: yes!
[04:50] <mwe> Genscher: now _that's_ odd
[04:50] <DarthVader> all the sudden I'm getting the following error KDM try to start: "xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open virtual console 7 (No such file or directory)"
[04:50] <artmann> hi all
[04:50] <artbird309> Theodor: when you boot yyes
[04:50] <artbird309> *yes
[04:50] <genius314> j_ack: ok, now what?
[04:51] <jikanter> emacla: now send me a message, to confirm that you are there
[04:51] <Genscher> mwe: one time, it hanged at the zlib_fs error, the other time at the "bootin INIT 2.86" message
[04:51] <Genscher> etc...
[04:51] <Theodor> Kay, finally I'm installing Ubuntu ... I've been having problems since yesterday ;p
[04:51] <stefg> rawrbbq: hmmm... so your gnome is screwed. what exactly does 'my computer crashed' mean
[04:51] <DarthVader> what's odd is that I didn't change anything ... it's ubuntu 6.10 PPC
[04:51] <rawrbbq> stefg: I dunno =X
[04:51] <tevfikt> Hey
[04:51] <rawrbbq> stefg: what can I do?
[04:51] <wheels3572> un_operateur, Yeah there is.  Autodetect, VIA 8233, VIA8233, ALSA - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture, ESD-Enlightment Sound Daemon, OSS-Open Sound System
[04:51] <j_ack> genius314, i paste you my xorg.conf, one moment.
[04:51] <DarthVader> any suggestion(s)?
[04:52] <stefg> rawrbbq: what was the last time it worked, what happended, what isn't working now?
[04:52] <mwe> Genscher: odd. well I'd do the md5sum for the CD. somtimes bad CDs fail at different points
[04:52] <jikanter> emacla: did that work?
[04:52] <artmann> i heard , that nowadays  the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is obsolete. is this right for ubuntu?
[04:52] <interfear> Safe graphics mode worked with 6.06, however it will not work with 6.10 cd, anyone know what this could be? Also 6.10 main boot screen (where you see the beige ubuntu logo / menu ) looks nothing buy gray and all messed up
[04:52] <Genscher> mwe: it's one of our university servers... :(
[04:52] <fryfrog> Hi, I would like my ubuntu server to be able to send outgoing mail, but I am not sure what to start looking into to achieve this, mainly cause i'm not so good with mail.  Any suggestions?
[04:52] <j_ack> genius314, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39178/
[04:52] <Genscher> mwe: ok, i'll try to burn them here at home
[04:52] <rawrbbq> stefg: it is working now, it worked before it crashed a couple of mins ago and the screen just turned black
[04:53] <Genscher> mwe: thank you for your advice and time!
[04:53] <mwe> Genscher: check the md5sum of the cd to verify it
[04:53] <Genscher> i'm doing it in a few moments :)
[04:53] <jikanter> emacla: I want to help you, but I don't want to fill the channel with junk, so if you can find the private chat I have set up, that would be great
[04:53] <Genscher> i'll be back then
[04:53] <stefg> rawrbbq: could be a hardware problem like bad ram, dying hd, overheating probs... get a termianl and type acpi -V to see your temps
[04:54] <LameBMX> allrighty time for a reboot
[04:54] <stefg> rawrbbq: scratch acpi -V.... wrong distro :-)
[04:54] <rawrbbq> stefg: it worked
[04:54] <DarthVader> but, I can log from the text console and use startx ...
[04:54] <rawrbbq> stefg: had 52 C on thermal 1 and 2 the rest 40 and 42
[04:54] <rawrbbq> stefg: I doubt it is the temp =/
[04:54] <pike_> fryfrog: might start https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix
[04:54] <DarthVader> and the virtual console 7 is working
[04:54] <j_ack> genius314 ?
[04:54] <stefg> rawrbbq: ok, so your box is cool 'nuff
[04:54] <jikanter> emacla_: do you know how to right-click?
[04:54] <genius314> j_ack: What does the line "mode "relative"" mean?
[04:55] <rawrbbq> stefg: yeah, I would say that
[04:55] <stefg> rawrbbq: bad ram? dying hd?
[04:55] <tevfikt> How can i use PGP key in my source.lst?
[04:55] <rawrbbq> stefg: hum, my comp is pretty new, bought it a month ago(laptop)
[04:55] <fryfrog> pike_: isn't exim4 installed by default, for use with mail?
[04:55] <stefg> rawrbbq: premium brand or el cheapo?
[04:55] <emacla_> jikanter: Something must be wrong with my Xchat. I test again.
[04:56] <rawrbbq> stefg: what do you mean? the brand of the laptop?
[04:56] <artbird309> rawrbbq: yes
[04:56] <tony_> BUENAS
[04:56] <stefg> yup.. isit a big name? o
[04:56] <rawrbbq> stefg: it's not a big name
[04:56] <Riyonuk> Yup, Firefox just closes on its own...
[04:56] <pike_> fryfrog: its possible on new version it is. im a few distupgrades back
[04:56] <rawrbbq> stefg: and there have been problems with it on windows
[04:56] <fryfrog> ah, okay i spose i'll find out :)
[04:57] <rawrbbq> stefg: but that was due to drivers I think
[04:57] <jikanter> emacla: do you have an aim/icq account?
[04:57] <stefg> rawrbbq: then i'd run the memtest86 from the boot menu overnight. then you know what's up with the ram
[04:57] <j_ack> genius314 , mode relative have an behavior like a normal Mouse, so you can use it at any place at your tablet
[04:57] <McFlow> can anyone help me with a sound problem? :)
[04:57] <genius314> j_ack: Ok, I think that's what I want.
[04:57] <rawrbbq> stefg: ok, how do I do that? Do I have to boot up from the ubuntu-cd?
[04:57] <Roger_The_Bum> McFlow: a lack of sound?
[04:57] <jikanter> McFlow: what type of problem?
[04:57] <emacla_> jikanter: I can see your messages.
[04:57] <genius314> j_ack: And that's all?
[04:58] <jikanter> emacla_: can you respond?
[04:58] <j_ack> genius314 , moment
[04:58] <stefg> rawrbbq: either from CD, but a standard install has this as a boot.-option, too
[04:58] <McFlow> my alsa sound has a latency of 1 second..... you know what i mean?

[04:59] <StyXman> hi all. what package should I reconfigure to change the system locale/encoding?
[04:59] <TooR4u> how to open a chanel?
[05:00] <StyXman> TooR4u: just /join into it, but better talk to chanserv about it

[05:00] <pike_> hey guys im not physically at my box right now could a few of you "nohup cat /dev/urandom > /dev/audio" and tell me if it generates static? im ssh'd to a friends comp and want to turn vol up and freak em out.
[05:01] <j_ack> genius314 , do you know what i mean?
[05:01] <emacla_> StyXman: How do i register?
[05:01] <jikanter> emacla: forget it.  type in chown root /var/<whatever
[05:01] <genius314> j_ack: You turned the line for "configured mouse" into a comment, right?
[05:01] <TooR4u> ok how to set the topic for the chanal?
[05:01] <theblue> pike_: That'd so it
[05:01] <TooR4u> chanel*
[05:01] <StyXman> emacla_: talk to nickserv
[05:01] <Roger_The_Bum> TooR4u: /topic
[05:01] <theblue> pike_: do*
[05:01] <pike_> theblue: ah nice thx
[05:01] <theblue> pike_: You could try aumix to control the volume.
[05:01] <TooR4u> ohh thank u ....
[05:01] <emacla> StyXman: ...? Explain please.
[05:01] <jikanter> emacla: where /var/whatever is the file your are trying to adjust
[05:01] <ente> hey im new here
[05:01] <StyXman> emacla: /msg nickserv help
[05:02] <j_ack> genius314 , do you use a  ps2 mouse?
[05:02] <theblue> ente: Welcome!
[05:02] <genius314> j_ack: no
[05:02] <j_ack> genius314 , ok
[05:02] <jikanter> emacla: now try to edit the file
[05:02] <emacla> file?
[05:03] <emacla> folder.
[05:03] <jikanter> emacla: are you trying to move the folder?
[05:03] <ente> what do you think would be better for a newbe drapper or edgy???
[05:03] <emacla> jikanter: no, open it.
[05:03] <jikanter> ente: dapper
[05:03] <theblue> ente: Dapper.
[05:03] <jikanter> emacla: ok, type in cd /var/*
[05:03] <genius314> j_ack: Do I put the line "option 'corepointer'" in the eraser section, or in the section that I want?
[05:03] <ente> okay and where are the big differents between these both
[05:03] <artbird309> ente: edgy
[05:03] <ente> ?
[05:04] <theblue> ente: Dapper is more stable, it's been around longer, and more bugs have been worked out of it.
[05:04] <jikanter> ente: Dapper. No question about it.  You get longer support.
[05:04] <theblue> ente: Edgy has some newer software, and there's a good deal of difference under the hood, but that's about it.  I recommend Dapper.
[05:04] <ente> i see, so thats the only difference
[05:04] <theblue> I may be oversimplifying, but dapper is still a good idea.
[05:05] <j_ack> genius314 , you can do it by any one of the three inputdevises, i have it at eraser
[05:05] <genius314> j_ack: ok.
[05:05] <ente> okay thanks
[05:05] <jikanter> I totally agree with theblue, ente: go with dapper.  Everything works correctly, and it is the easiest to use.
[05:05] <Plinty> has anyone managed to compile anjuta ide from cvs snapshot? the autogen.sh requires for gdl-0.7.0 or higher, but I found when googling that the most recent version of gdl is 0.6.1
[05:06] <genius314> j_ack: Is there more?
[05:06] <emacla> jikanter: Nope. This is the message i get when i clicks at the folder: "The folder contents could not be displayed. You do not have permissions necessary to view the contents of 'mysql'".
[05:06] <j_ack> genius314 , restart your computer
[05:06] <ente> dapper is the 6.06 version
[05:06] <ente> ?
[05:06] <genius314> j_ack: ok.
[05:06] <artbird309> ente: yes
[05:06] <StyXman> ente: yeap
[05:06] <ente> ok thanks!!! i give drapper a try
[05:06] <ente> dapper
[05:07] <Riyonuk> Which version is Dapper, like the number?
[05:07] <McFlow> jikanter: my sound comes uot with one second of latency
[05:07] <Riyonuk> Dapper is the best?
[05:07] <LjL> Ubotu, tell Riyonuk about dapper | Riyonuk, see the private message from Ubotu
[05:08] <emacla> How do i log in as root?
[05:08] <systest> Ok, I get there is no "root" account.  So ho do I get to single user mode at boot?
[05:08] <StyXman> emacla: you don't; use sudo
[05:08] <LjL> Ubotu, tell emacla about root | emacla, see the private message from Ubotu
[05:08] <LjL> systest: recovery mode, from the grub menu
[05:08] <buis01> greetings
[05:08] <Genscher> mwe: back :) the cd passed al md5 checks
[05:08] <Zaggynl> Anyone knows if it is possible to get the gimp-deweirdifier plugin for the gimp in ubuntu?
[05:09] <buis01> how do you view a list of commands that you previously used in unix and how do you remove does list of commands?
[05:09] <Genscher> and of course ubuntu live cd loaded fine (as well as knoppix)
[05:09] <systest> LjL: perhaps I've missed something.  Single user mode asks for the root password.
[05:09] <stefg> Genscher: ok, one point to rule out... 64bit-System?
[05:09] <Genscher> too bad that they didn't load on our server
[05:09] <StyXman> buis01: dependes on the shell
[05:09] <LjL> buis01: cat ~/.bash_history
[05:09] <j_ack> genius314 ?
[05:09] <buis01> I know if you just use the up arrow you get the last command : StyXman
[05:10] <LjL> systest: it's really asking for the user password, i believe... anyway, if recovery doesn't work because you messed up with sudoers or something, you can always boot with "init=/bin/sh"
[05:10] <genius314> j_ack: Ok, it works. Thanks.
[05:10] <j_ack> genius314 ,ok.
[05:10] <StyXman> buis01: then it's more likely bash. LjL told you about .bash_history
[05:10] <buis01> LjL: how do I clear that list from the command line?
[05:10] <Theodor> woohoo
[05:10] <Theodor> I'm using Ubuntu :>
[05:10] <LjL> Ubotu, tell buis01 about cli | buis01, see the private message from Ubotu
[05:10] <Theodor> Owh yeah baby.
[05:10] <systest> LjL: not on my box, it asks for the root pass or "ctrl-d to continue".  Kind of defeats the purpose.
[05:11] <Genscher> stefg: no. it's a 2-cpu Athlon-XP (on TYAN board) syste, using 5 HDs (4 SCSI in a RAID with some adaptec controler, 1 IDE) using XFS filesystem. the 4 SCSI HDs are damaged (can't be mounted)
[05:11] <Genscher> (at least i can't login when i boot from them)
[05:11] <genius314> Does anyone know where I can find the specs for a Compaq Presario MV700 monitor?
[05:11] <LjL> systest: well, i haven't used it in a long while
[05:11] <Theodor> now to configuration ...
[05:11] <StyXman> buis01: I think you can' t unless you edit the file. see "man bash"
[05:11] <theblue> Ubuntu membership cards?
[05:11] <stefg> Genscher: this is not so uncommon that... hmmm...
[05:11] <Genscher> (i get some weird libc.so.6 relocation error and can't login)
[05:11] <systest> LjL: np, thanks for the reply,  I'll try it again and feed it the privileged users password.
[05:11] <Theodor> Okay fellas. now I need software help.
[05:12] <Genscher> that's why i tried to use live cd's to get the data
[05:12] <DarthVader> ok figured it out .. looks like my motherboard battery is dying, thus the time was 1904 ... 9_9
[05:12] <DarthVader> bye
[05:12] <Theodor> I need these: C++, Java, Php, mysql, apache server, something like visio, burning dvd/cd software.
[05:12] <buis01> LjL: how can I tell what shell I'm using?
[05:12] <Genscher> stefg: our server went down a an unknown reason and that error appears after the restart :(
[05:12] <Genscher> a=for
[05:13] <stefg> Genscher, can you fsck your root-fs from the CD?
[05:13] <pike_> Theodor: well there are good guides in wiki for java php and mysql. the burning app you want something like nero?
[05:13] <Riyonuk> :o
[05:13] <LjL> buis01: try "help", though i think there is a proper way that i don't remember
[05:13] <Riyonuk> Does Dapper have the wireless settings? Thats like the only way to get internet to work for me
[05:14] <Theodor> yeah anything.
[05:14] <Riyonuk> Does Dapper include wireless settings? Or is that only in Edgy?
[05:14] <Riyonuk> I thought Dapper was 6.06? It says its 6.06.1
[05:14] <Riyonuk> >_>
[05:14] <pike_> Theodor: i really like k3b its a good all around burining app
[05:14] <LjL> Riyonuk: 6.06.1 includes some bug fixes
[05:14] <Theodor> aight, time to download.
[05:14] <genius314> j_ack: Now when I use the scroll wheel, It scrolls in the opposite direction.
[05:14] <Theodor> how can I configure my Ubuntu?
[05:14] <Genscher> stefg: the problem is, that none of the live cd's was able to load the kernel....grub/lilo loaded, then i choosed one of the options and the HW checking started
[05:14] <stefg> Riyonuk: Ubuntu XP Service Pack 1 :-)
[05:14] <Theodor> I would like to take a look on the configuration files.
[05:14] <Genscher> it never finished them
[05:14] <Riyonuk> So which do I get? Im very confused, Dapper better come with wireless settings
[05:14] <accept_> How can I connect to a wireless network? I have the card the driver and all
[05:15] <Theodor> And why do I have on my desktop the partition where Microsoft Windows is installed ?
[05:15] <stefg> Genscher: SMP-System....
[05:15] <Genscher> yes
[05:15] <accept> echo
[05:15] <LjL> Riyonuk, Dapper is probably a good choice.
[05:15] <Riyonuk> Im trying to get it now
[05:15] <LjL> Ubotu, tell Riyonuk about edgy | Riyonuk, see the private message from Ubotu
[05:16] <Genscher> stefg: is tha bad?
[05:16] <Genscher> *that
[05:16] <LjL> Riyonuk: you can look at the specs to see which features were added in Edgy, and see if there's any you need
[05:16] <m0dY> hello, in a chroot'd environment, could i make a certain dir available inside the chroot without copying it ?
[05:16] <j_ack> genius314 , ok, so you must set the option of this feature of Absolute
[05:16] <stefg> Genscher: any errors which could help determining *where* the boting stops?
[05:16] <LjL> Riyonuk: of course, besides the listed features, there's new versions of some packages as well. but that shouldn't be a problem with dapper, unless you absolutely need some particular version of a package that's only in edgy
[05:16] <genius314> j_ack: What do you mean?
[05:17] <Riyonuk> All I need to know is if it has that option to change wireless settings, System > Prefrences > Networking > Wireless Connection
[05:17] <Genscher> stefg: each live cd stoped at different locations and even ubuntu cd hanged at different locations. (i reseted 5 times and it hanged at 4 different locations)
[05:17] <xiko> is there a way to copy my entire installation of ubuntu from one hd to another? Both are plugged in and im running this from livecd.
[05:18] <Genscher> stefg: but all started lilo/grub
[05:18] <Genscher> choosing the options worked fine
[05:18] <j_ack> genius314 , you have the Option "Relative" , so you must set it to "Absolute"
[05:18] <Riyonuk> Ok Im downloading, says it will take 4 hours >_>
[05:18] <pike_> xiko: well you could dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/dev/hdb1  or something mayeb
[05:18] <Allman> hi all
[05:18] <Riyonuk> Once Im done downloading the iso, how do I burn it?
[05:18] <genius314> j_ack: Ok.
[05:19] <Allman> someon know how to see an USB dialup modem?
[05:19] <stefg> Genscher: SMP systems are always a bit tricky with Live-CDs... Dual K7....  Actually ubuntu isn't such a bad option to try .. smp is enabled by default..
[05:19] <LjL> Riyonuk: depends... what system are you on?
[05:19] <xiko> pike_:  hmm I have the sda one that should be copied to the hdb. Is there  a program or something? I tried Gpart but the hd doesnt boot and I have set the flag to boot.
[05:19] <Genscher> stefg: i figured that because ubuntu was the system which absolved the most checks in copmpare to knoppix/kanopix :)
[05:20] <j_ack> genius314 , restart after setting only your X, not the hole system
[05:20] <Riyonuk> Ubuntu
[05:20] <stefg> Genscher: maybe you just need a special boot-parameter to get it going... but i've got no experience with Dual-K7 on Tyan...
[05:20] <pike_> xiko: there are a number of solutions really. im not too familiar with making backup images and tar.gz of whole hd but either dd or cat /dev/hda1 > /dev/hdb1 you might google for exact syntax
[05:21] <LjL> xiko, one thing is cloning the *partition*, and another thing is cloning the whole HD. if you only clone the partition, then the partition table on the new HD will have to be set up manually, including filesystem type and the master boot record
[05:21] <THEoracle> Hello all.....
[05:21] <Allman> someone know how to see an USB dialup modem?
[05:21] <Genscher> stefg: i'll search for it. thank you
[05:21] <LjL> xiko: or you could just clone the entire HD, if there's no data that you want to keep on the new one. but then i suppose they must be of exactly the same size, for that to work
[05:22] <Riyonuk> Ljl, im using ubuntu 6.10
[05:22] <xiko> LjL: they are the same size, should I use DD or is there a graphic program out there? It is the thing I want to do =)
[05:22] <vivicrow_> anyone of you got sound card problems after updating to the recent kernal?
[05:22] <Riyonuk> And do I want 6.06 or 6.06.1
[05:23] <LjL> Riyonuk: well, then the command "sudo cdrecord -data -sao filename.iso" should probably work, although i think there is a program called GnomeBacker to burn CDs with a graphical interface
[05:23] <Neeled> What packages would I need for a C compiler?  Just the build-essential one?
[05:23] <mariapm> ola
[05:23] <LjL> xiko, there probably are graphical programs, but i think dd should work
[05:23] <chand|> xiko: i suggest partimage http://www.partimage.org/Main_Page, u will find a bootable cd
[05:23] <LjL> Neeled: yes
[05:23] <vivicrow_> anyone of you got sound problems after updating to the recent kernal?
[05:23] <mariapm> la-golfa@agregame
[05:23] <xiko> ty guys
[05:23] <Neeled> LjL, Thank you
[05:23] <mariapm> mary_92_aracena agregame
[05:23] <xiko> trying partimage then
[05:23] <LjL> Neeled: although the programs you want to compile might then need additional libraries, but that depends entirely on the program
[05:23] <buis01> LjL: ok, I'm running bash but I don't have a .bash_history file.  Where can I find it if it's not in my home directory?
[05:24] <LjL> buis01: it definitely should be in your home
[05:24] <Theodor> Guys, how can I remove the partitions from my desktop? I got nothing to do with these partitions as they got windows on 'em.
[05:24] <icheyne> does anyone here use the open-source ATI Radeon drivers? How did you install them? Did they come preloaded with Ubuntu? How do they perform?
[05:24] <pike_> buis01: "ls -a ~/"   list all
[05:24] <TooR4u> i want to change the topic of a chanel......?Is it possible?

[05:32] <kingace> i have an OS installed on an external usb hard drive /dev/sdb . i need grub to be able to boot from, there so what should i put as root under menu.lst?
[05:32] <chand|> LjL: oops
[05:32] <kingace> for example, (sdb,0)?
[05:32] <psynaps3> Hi, I am planning on dual booting with XP and Ubuntu on my laptop. I have a 120GB HDD of which the first partition contains the Diagnostic stuff and the second parition (around 110GB) contains XP. Can you tell me what is the best way I should partition it for Ubuntu?
[05:33] <stefg> kingace, wouldn't it be easier just to tell the Bios to boot from USB?
[05:33] <Midrand-31> psynaps3 what notebook ?
[05:33] <Phreddy_Pfander> anybody tried installing xubuntu "over" ubuntu dapper?
[05:33] <psynaps3> Its an XPS 1210
[05:33] <pike_> kingace: unless something has changed i dont think grub can boot usb.  its been awhile since i tried though
[05:33] <LjL> chand|: i see there's also http://utah-glx.sourceforge.net/ , know anything about it?
[05:33] <chand|> LjL: it's an old project
[05:33] <kingace> stefg: well, its OsX86, and although the install succeeded the boot manager didnt seem to install
[05:33] <kingace> so im trying to use grub instead
[05:33] <chand|> LjL: look here http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/UserStatus
[05:33] <Midrand-31> psynaps3 is the drive partitioned by the manufacturer ?
[05:34] <stefg> kingace: i don 't think grub can fix taht..
[05:34] <gar-> i have a problem with my server sometime it shutdown completerly and i dont know the reason if there is any error log that i have to look into it to see the reason of the shutdown.....
[05:34] <chand|> LjL: http://www.osnews.com/story.php/16814/Nouveau-First-Look-at-Open-Source-3D-NVIDIA-Drivers
[05:34] <kingace> stefg: you're probably right
[05:34] <psynaps3> Midrand-31: I have reformated it and installed windows
[05:34] <kingace> it occurs to me that i should be trying to fix the mac boot manager rather than this
[05:34] <THEoracle> nooooo.......not windows!!!
[05:35] <unsk1ll3d> hello everybody...
[05:35] <stefg> kingace: i had to install grub to the MBR of my USB-disk to be able to boot it...
[05:35] <Midrand-31> psynaps3 then it should be possible, im not sure if u can create an empty partition from the windows allocated space without starting from scratch though
[05:35] <pike_> kingace: did you mean boot to or install grub on? you might be able to sudo grub then at grub> root (hd0,1) then setup (sd0) then boot from usb in bios but im not sure
[05:35] <psynaps3> I was thinking maybe I should go for 50gb(ntfs), 50gb(fat32) and the rest (around 15 gb) for ubuntu. Now how should I set up the partitions
[05:35] <klypso> hey
[05:36] <JBLoudG20> hmm... still trying: Anyone have experience with Ubuntu and a Lenovo laptop?
[05:36] <kane77> how do I upgrade gnome (i'm using dapper)?
[05:36] <Midrand-31> psynaps3 if i were you from scratch, but that might be painful
[05:36] <klypso> I accidentally installed two of the same account on ubuntu, one a normal and the other a superuser
[05:36] <klypso> when I log in, I log in as the lesser one
[05:36] <unsk1ll3d> Anybody here knows about the specifications of vfolders in GNOME on Ubuntu - where the vfolders are set?
[05:36] <chand|> psynaps3: with ubuntu installer u can resize ntfs and vfat partitions i think
[05:36] <Midrand-31> can anyone give me a reference for setting up samba shares to windows machines ?

[05:39] <unsk1ll3d> chand| - okay, I'll have a look on it ;)
[05:39] <psynaps3> Or maybe to put it better, will 15GB be enough for an ubuntu edgy installation over the long run (i will share a 50GB fat32 parititon with the xp installation)

[05:39] <dalani> I noticed this when I couldnt send emails via smtp

[05:50] <CroEragon> Hello guys, does anybody have any experiance with PCI error: Cannot allocate resurce region 3 of device 000:000:000? It freezes my Kubuntu and drives me mad!!!
[05:50] <hyperactivecrond> uh the wiki is timing out on my computer
[05:50] <hyperactivecrond> oh wait. didn't configure firewall nvm
[05:50] <Theodor> CroEragon, I had the same problem.
[05:50] <Theodor> THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM
[05:51] <LjL> !caps
[05:51] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[05:51] <CroEragon> did you solve it? i heard it is bios issue
[05:51] <Theodor> yeah,  you have to do default setup for the bios.
[05:51] <Theodor> That's the only solution that worked for me.
[05:51] <pike_> BjoeHrn: well im partial to xinit.  just xinit -- :01   i believe you can just use startx also
[05:51] <Theodor> I've been hadving that problem since yesterday
[05:52] <chand|> BjoeHrn: firts, sudo dpkg-reconfigure x11-common, auth all users, then xterm -display :1.0
[05:52] <CroEragon> what? i didn't change my bios in any way, it is there since aprox third day of using Ubuntu
[05:52] <BjoeHrn> chand|, thanks I'll try it
[05:52] <chand|> BjoeHrn: perhaps u need top add mit magic cookie to your auth file
[05:53] <VoX> why would i get a systemload of 6+ when copying files from a pata drive to a sata drive? the pata drive has dma enabled, rest of the system is essentially idle.
[05:53] <chand|> BjoeHrn: have a look on this old guide : http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wiwimod/index.php?page=HOWTO+extra+XServer&back=HOWTO+INDEX+Other
[05:53] <klypso> crap
[05:53] <klypso> how do I get out of that without shutting down?
[05:53] <emacla> How can i create a folder trought the terminal?
[05:53] <LjL> emacla: mkdir dirname
[05:53] <chand|> VoX: not a big load for this
[05:53] <LjL> Ubotu, tell emacla about cli | emacla, see the private message from Ubotu
[05:54] <klypso> stefg: how can I exit that without shutting down?
[05:54] <Enselic```> Does anyone know if it is possible to install winetools trhough apt-get?
[05:54] <stefg> init 2
[05:54] <klypso> ah
[05:54] <klypso> i'll try again
[05:54] <adaptr> stefg: I doubt that IRC will honor that....
[05:54] <VoX> chand|: well when it causes text input into a terminal session to lag by multiple seconds, i'd call that a slight issue..
[05:54] <klypso> stefg : what did you want me to try earlier?
[05:54] <Theodor> Currently, everything is working fine.
[05:55] <stefg> adaptr: hehe... righht it needs quotes..
[05:55] <Theodor> Do I need to update my drivers and everything?
[05:55] <adaptr> it's a nice feature though - can somebody add "init n" responses to Ubotu ?
[05:55] <chand|> VoX: on ext filesystem ?
[05:55] <BjoeHrn> chand|, when I use the reconfigure command I'm able to start a xserver a normal user?
[05:55] <VoX> chand|: yeah, ext3
[05:55] <adaptr> a response like "shutting down FreeNode" on "init 0" would be much appreciated
[05:55] <unsk1ll3d> chand| -> found the settings - look /usr/share/desktop-directories and /etc/xdg/menus/settings.menu
[05:55] <chand|> VoX: i got same loads when i copy big file
[05:55] <stefg> klypso: go to a non-X terminal, login, sudo init S... do your thing... init 2
[05:55] <unsk1ll3d> chand| -> thx2u :)
[05:56] <chand|> unsk1ll3d: ok, i dont undestand, u just want to change gnome menus, not vfolders
[05:56] <VoX> chand|: hmm k
[05:56] <unsk1ll3d> yes but some folders are set as vfolders?
[05:57] <chand|> VoX: try to bench hd, with sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/hda
[05:57] <CroEragon> Theodor: do you have laptop, because it happens ussualy on laptops, and i have desktop and laptop solution doesnt work
[05:57] <chand|> VoX: try another file with "big size"
[05:57] <chand|> unsk1ll3d: yes
[05:58] <VoX> chand|: seems fine.. good speeds for a pata drive

[06:18] <ulisse> is it possible to configure either a static wired network and a DHCP (wired) one into Network-Manager?
[06:18] <Music_Shuffle> Theodor, I entered late, so I missed your original question :P

[06:19] <LjL> art_: i don't see it packaged (though http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/linux_beginner_books/unofficial_ubuntu_starter_guide/index_194.html hints to the existence of a package), so perhaps you might want to check out 'phpmyadmin' and/or 'mysql-admin' (which *are* packaged in the standard repositories)
[06:19] <Theodor> you didn't miss much, only question from a newbie ;p

[06:21] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[06:21] <jlintz> Theodor: open synaptic and start browsing
[06:21] <art_> i have instaled mysql but when i use (like in tutorial) sudo apt-get install mysglcc i have notification thats no file on server
[06:21] <Music_Shuffle> Theodor, that last factoid was for you btw.
[06:21] <Theodor> Kewl
[06:21] <LjL> art_: indeed, as i just said, there is no such package in the standard repositories
[06:21] <LjL> (nor could i find one on google, tbh)
[06:21] <mnoir> theo - do the lamp thing and build-essential
[06:22] <Theodor> I have to start working and stop asking questions.
[06:22] <mnoir> build essential should give you a compiler you will like
[06:22] <Lynoure> Theodor: you can do both :)
[06:22] <art_> i know that that file exist - but dunno if theres packege or source
[06:22] <Theodor> I don't support multithreading.
[06:22] <LjL> art_, when i said that that site "hints to the existence ...", i meant that site is probably *wrong*. or refers to some very old version of Ubuntu that had that package.
[06:23] <Sainouhe> So this one time at band camp i ate all of the marshmellows and then put the blame on Michelle.
[06:23] <LjL> art_: eh?

[06:23] <mnoir> I do not like any of them as an absolute replacement though

[06:23] <amanmehta> how 2 contact ubotu ?
[06:24] <Sebboh> Could someone recommend a text editor?  I like the powerful regex capabilities and relatively quick load time that TextPad (windows) offers.

[06:26] <arrenlex> !fixres | Theodor
[06:26] <ubotu> Theodor: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type "sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart" in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[06:26] <daedra> !ohmy
[06:26] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[06:27] <Theodor> X is the GUI, yes?
[06:27] <mnoir> the basis of it - yes
[06:27] <arrenlex> Theodor: X is the server which hosts the GUI, which is gnome.
[06:27] <arrenlex> Theodor: Think of X as a window display, and Gnome is the mannequins, and Linux is the store.
[06:27] <Theodor> but I heard there is "don't know if correct", KDE and xforce or something
[06:27] <arrenlex> Theodor: xfce. Although xforce sounds cool.
[06:28] <arrenlex> !kde
[06:28] <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
[06:28] <arrenlex> !xfce
[06:28] <ubotu> Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of Gnome. For more info, see http://www.xubuntu.org - To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop"
[06:28] <amanmehta> how 2 reset d source.list file 2 d default ?
[06:28] <jbroome> amanmehta: what?
[06:28] <mnoir> gnome is one framework - kde xfce fvwm mwm are others
[06:28] <Theodor> Is there a best between these 3, or is it a matter of taste?
[06:28] <mnoir> yes and yes
[06:28] <arrenlex> !better | Theodor
[06:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about better - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:28] <amanmehta> meanin d source listin 2 d sources which were whn d system was installed
[06:28] <arrenlex> !best
[06:28] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[06:28] <daedra> lol better!
[06:29] <LjL> Theodor: taste. also, some environments (like Xfce) are more apt for resource-limited machines
[06:29] <Theodor> I see, thanks.
[06:29] <Brudus> I'm having a pretty big problem with with xserver.  It is happening when i go and try to install ubuntu.  It says there is something wrong with xserver and then it just gives me a screen with a bunch of garbled text.
[06:29] <daedra> i think kde is more customisable
[06:29] <Theodor> I'll be back, time to make a huge gallon of coffee.
[06:29] <art_> heh
[06:29] <N64geek> how do i run xf86config or it's equiv. from command line, I just switch videocards and now x won;t start
[06:29] <daedra> but theres also a greater opportunity to go wrong with those cutomizations

[06:32] <zero_> i'm trying to install beryl on ubuntu dapper drake but apt-get seems unable to find any of the beryl packages. Any idea about the right repositories?
[06:32] <Maheanuu> I am running a MSI K9N SLI Platinum Motherboard with 2 gigs of ram, and 5 maxtor sata 2 drives set in bios to go raid 5 and appearing there as a raid array but when I boot, they show up as sda thru sde????
[06:33] <Maheanuu> Am trying to set up Dapper 64 alternate
[06:33] <zero_> it' s quite frustrating because i cannot find the packages anywhere
[06:33] <N64geek> yay .. I didn't kill it!

[07:04] <vleon> hyperactivecrondthank you anyway
[07:05] <arrenlex> n64geek: Have you tried starting it from the command line and seeing if it prints an error?

[07:07] <pike_> genericuser: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop -s i believe to simulate
[07:07] <hyperactivecrond> pike_: he's on windows now
[07:07] <pike_> ah
[07:07] <genericuser> pike_: I don't have access to my ubuntu machine right now - that's why I'm asking
[07:08] <wyld> if i have a core 2 duo, what architecture should i use when i install Linux? is the amd 64 architecture the right one? or should i stick to ye goode olde 32 bit?
[07:08] <Riyonuk> pike_, I just have one nameserver...is that bad?
[07:08] <genericuser> wyld: if you're brave, you can try the 64bit one, but I recommend 32bit
[07:08] <Yoshimitsu> is airport exteme wireless working yet ?
[07:08] <Yoshimitsu> exteme*
[07:09] <Yoshimitsu> extreme* third time lucky
[07:09] <wyld> genericuser: what is bad about 64?
[07:09] <mnoir> genericuser: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39197/
[07:09] <genericuser> wyld: many apps don't have 64bit versions and you have to use lots of 32bit apps instead, which means you need the 32bit libs
[07:09] <genericuser> mnoir: is that edgy or dapper?
[07:09] <mnoir> that is 6.6
[07:09] <genericuser> ah well...
[07:09] <mnoir> 6.06 - sorry
[07:10] <mnoir> you need 6.10?
[07:10] <Stalwart> 6.66
[07:10] <genericuser> wyld: also, some drivers don't have 64bit builds

[07:10] <hyperactivecrond> N3rg4r: apt-get install fortunes
[07:10] <genericuser> mnoir: also... it looks like you already have most of kde installed, that's way too short of a list
[07:11] <N3rg4r> ok thanx
[07:11] <Stalwart> wyld: i run amd64 ubuntu and no problems
[07:11] <Stalwart> opera, skype work

[07:13] <amanmehta> hey i had sought help n not d chat contents hav scrolled up n not there
[07:13] <Stalwart> wyld: the only problem about amd64 is that 32bit apps like opera and skype need 32bit libs

[07:14] <Syrra> Hello. Is there any way to set my default music player to XMMS?
[07:14] <Stalwart> wyld: yes, just check packages.ubuntu.com for rarely used libs, popular libs are in special compatibility packages
[07:15] <commodore> I removed iptables but I still have a NAT problem with Azureus. Is there anything else in Ubuntu that can stop me using a port?
[07:15] <emacla> What is the Terminal command to copy a file to another place?
[07:15] <genericuser> commodore: not really - what about a router?
[07:15] <pike_> commodore: there is your router

[07:16] <ubotu> commodore: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.

[07:16] <pike_> commodore: is there a dmz setting maybe?
[07:16] <mnoir> i think it is complete...
[07:16] <emacla> Stalwart: Can i use cp to copy a folder?
[07:16] <TC`> how to make wlan work on my laptop? (Gigabyte GN-WI01GT (mini) PCI-E WLAN card)
[07:16] <commodore> pike_ what's that?
[07:17] <Stalwart> emacla: yes, to copy folder use cp -rf directory place/for/new/dir/
[07:17] <Stalwart> check man cp
 so i do nothing?
[07:17] <Grnsgrf> does anyone know a command-line tool, that is able to capture an image of a webcam? (i tried "webcam" yet, but i dont really get it working)

[07:17] <sya> how can i turn box into a "network storage", like everyone in the house (laptop, windows pcs, etc) can access, store files, etc; just like using it as a normal drive. can samba handle that?
[07:17] <sya> my*
[07:17] <Stalwart> emacla: if you want to learn a bit bash scripting for everyday task automatization there are many manuals on the net =] 
[07:17] <hyperactivecrond> mm
[07:18] <pike_> commodore: say your comp address is 192.168.1.2 in the router.  you can basically put that address as dmz server and it places you coputer "outside" the router sortof
[07:18] <genericuser> mnoir: uh.... I think it's still b0rken?
[07:18] <mnoir> how so?
[07:18] <gRaCiOsO> zero_,
[07:18] <emacla> Stalwart: You know any good tutorial/guide?
[07:18] <genericuser> mnoir: still got the same 8 packages....

[07:20] <mnoir> dunno...
[07:20] <genericuser> yea..... hrmm...
[07:20] <mnoir> prolly
[07:21] <pike_> commodore: help. it basically means your comp is completely exposed to the internet
[07:21] <ke1> Can someone tell me what makes Edubuntu different from Ubuntu other than the thin client setup?
[07:21] <amanmehta> i had installed X sensors by add/remove ............. while booting it used 2 show ..... loading sensors        failed..... thn i had uninstalled by add/remove..... but d error message is still there while loading indicating tht d system is still loooking 4 sensors .... how 2 correct d probs ?
[07:22] <ke1> I mean, i can install all those software packages themselves to make Ubuntu = edubuntu can't i?
[07:22] <mnoir> kel - go read their home page - they are very proud of it

[07:22] <genericuser> !hi
[07:22] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[07:22] <hyperactivecrond> N3rg4r: you've been submitted to bash.org
[07:22] <mnoir> suggest if you want an edubuntu setup that you start with it and add other things rather than the other way around
[07:22] <Mir> # ubuntubd
[07:23] <pike_> commodore: if you do that and it works id install firestarter its a gui for iptables and very easy to setup
[07:23] <amanmehta> can any 1 read me or am i Bcum invisible ?
[07:23] <amanmehta> i had installed X sensors by add/remove ............. while booting it used 2 show ..... loading sensors        failed..... thn i had uninstalled by add/remove..... but d error message is still there while loading indicating tht d system is still loooking 4 sensors .... how 2 correct d probs ?
[07:23] <Syrra> Hello. Is there any way to set my default music player to XMMS?
[07:23] <hyperactivecrond> amanmehta: yes. and realize that this channel is staffed by volunteers
[07:23] <deepsa> Syrra: no
[07:23] <genericuser> Syrra: just right-click on your media files and change the default app to xmms
[07:24] <genericuser> Ljl, err... who are you banning?
[07:24] <slacker_nl> quick question, what are the bootparams to install ubuntu without loading the live cd first?
[07:24] <Riyonuk> pike_, I think I fixed it
[07:24] <hyperactivecrond> genericuser: this one guy who keeps evading kickbans
[07:24] <Syrra> It.. doesn't say how?
[07:24] <hyperactivecrond> s/evading/violatin
[07:24] <LjL> genericuser: abusive users
[07:24] <genericuser> hmm
[07:24] <pike_> Riyonuk: again? :)  what was wrong?
[07:24] <amanmehta> i completely agree but ....... i thought u ppl were not getting my chat
[07:25] <Syrra> It just says "Open with (program name)"
[07:25] <hyperactivecrond> amanmehta: and please use semi-wellformed english </jerk moment>
[07:25] <slacker_nl> quick question, what are the bootparams to install ubuntu without loading the live cd first?
[07:25] <Syrra> I haven't figured out how to default it :/
[07:25] <Syrra> maybe in properties
[07:25] <gRaCiOsO> if i remove a driver with aptitude it remove the module loaded from lsmod? excuse my ignorance
[07:25] <Syrra> Sorry guys XD
[07:25] <pedro> hi all
[07:25] <hyperactivecrond> gRaCiOsO: yes..
[07:25] <Syrra> Thanks~
[07:25] <jbroome> slacker_nl: i believe you need the alternate cd to do that
[07:25] <hyperactivecrond> hi pedro
[07:25] <pike_> slacker_nl: im not sure the older installer even comes on livecd. might need alternate or server install
[07:26] <gRaCiOsO> hyperactivecrond,  thanks
[07:26] <genericuser> wow, bash.org is sweet
[07:26] <hyperactivecrond> np gRaCiOsO
[07:26] <pedro> i have a problem  with my new ubuntu can anyone help me?
[07:26] <pike_> pedro: ask away
[07:26] <slacker_nl> argh..
[07:26] <slacker_nl> thnx
[07:26] <pedro> I split the hd in 4 parts
[07:26] <pedro> one for win
[07:26] <pedro> one for /
[07:26] <pedro> one for swap
[07:27] <pedro> and the last one is extended
[07:27] <hyperactivecrond> pedro: what's in the extended?
[07:27] <emacla> How do i change permissions for a folder?
[07:27] <hyperactivecrond> emacla: in the gui or from the cli
[07:27] <linuxgoober> chown
[07:27] <gRaCiOsO> emacla,  man chmod
[07:27] <pedro> ummm le me see idont now the owrd in english
[07:27] <POVaddct> linuxgoober: no, chmod
[07:27] <mnoir> emacla: same as a file
[07:27] <linuxgoober> my bad...
[07:28] <slacker_nl> pike_: I have an edgy CD..
[07:28] <ThinkingMan> Today, out of the blue, networkmanager decided that it's not going to connect to my network, I've tried rebooting, and the same macinge connects no problem if I reboot into windows, I can connect to non-encrypted networks
[07:28] <slacker_nl> please please tell me I can do a text only install
[07:28] <ThinkingMan> I've looked at the nm site but there's dreadfully no documentation
[07:28] <hyperactivecrond> slacker_nl: use the alternate cd
[07:28] <pedro> sorry
[07:28] <pedro> in the extende i put one dor /home
[07:28] <ThinkingMan> does anyone know anything about how nm works and if there's a conf file or any way to tweak it?
[07:28] <pedro> and one for /documents
[07:29] <Riyonuk> pike_, first im typing wirh one hand, this channel and my linux savvy friend say its a dns issue
[07:29] <Riyonuk> pike_, he told me to change name server to 127.0.0.1 and do apt-get install bind9 and now it works for some strange reason
[07:29] <pedro> but the /documents is not show in my sistem
[07:29] <POVaddct> emacla: the "x" bit in directories/folders stands for "cd-able", not "executable" as for normal files
[07:29] <pedro> the /documents is ntfs file system
[07:29] <pike_> slacker_nl: if its livecd then im pretty sure no.  i like the livecd but i use the server install cd.  then apt-get install ubuntu-desktop or xubuntu or kubuntu  after initial install usually

[07:30] <SAAL3> UBUNTU is like sex: hot and wet!
[07:30] <mnoir> !ntfs
[07:30] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - See also !fuse
[07:30] <Ciaus> ThinkingMan, exactly.
[07:30] <pike_> Riyonuk: well thats one way to go.  i would have assumed bind would be harder to setup but if it works great
[07:30] <pedro> how can i mount by myself?
[07:30] <ThinkingMan> is there any documentation on NM?  I've googled the hell out of it to no end
[07:30] <mnoir> !ntfs | pedro
[07:30] <ubotu> pedro: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - See also !fuse
[07:31] <ThinkingMan> is there a conf file even?
[07:31] <gRaCiOsO> pedro,  but what do u wanna mount?
[07:31] <Ciaus> ThinkingMan, not that I ever found
[07:31] <foobarian> ThinkingMan: do you mean the compiler tool?
[07:32] <ThinkingMan> foobarian: any way to somehow configure network manager, to see if there's a cache to clear out or to see what changed between yesterday when I could connect fine and today when I can't connect for any reason
[07:32] <genericuser> !fuse
[07:32] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[07:32] <pedro> i want to see /documents ... and i supossed thats is not mounted. Becose i cant see it
[07:32] <n64geek> i keep killin x

[07:32] <emacla> I tried to change permission for a folder. But this wont work: chmod 666 /dir/dir2/and_so_on
[07:32] <foobarian> ThinkingMan: never mind, I thought you meant nm the gcc tool
[07:32] <pike_> !paste | n64geek
[07:32] <ubotu> n64geek: 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 (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[07:32] <pike_> n64geek: paste the xorg.conf if you can
[07:32] <ThinkingMan> foobarian: nope, thanks though
[07:32] <M0E^lnx> can anyone help me setup wireless networking... I'm following this howto: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=197102 but i'm still unable to connect
[07:33] <gRaCiOsO> pedro,  u mean windows partition? do u wanna see it on linux?

[07:33] <pedro> no really
[07:33] <M0E^lnx> anyone help?
[07:33] <pedro> i cann see the win partition .
[07:33] <emacla> foobarian: Me and root are the only users.
[07:33] <n64geek> lemme see if i can even get that far... like i said X will start,, it does let me login,, but when gnome runs ... well x restarts
[07:34] <pedro> what i want is to share my documents between linux and win
[07:34] <slacker_nl> pike_: thnx for the help (downloading the alternate CD as we speak)
[07:34] <foobarian> emacla: does it work with sudo?
[07:34] <emacla> nope
[07:34] <pedro> then i make a ntfs partition
[07:34] <emacla> foobarian: nope
[07:34] <foobarian> emacla: is it on some funky partition or CD?
[07:34] <pedro> to be mounted on /documents
[07:34] <wyld> should my swap patition be formatted as linux-swap or ext3?
[07:34] <pedro> but after the install process is not there

[07:36] <Olathe> M0E^lnx: Have you done anything in setting it up so far ?
[07:36] <M0E^lnx> yes
[07:36] <gRaCiOsO> pedro,  i dont undestand what u mean exactly but if u cant see that partition  u made is because isnt mounted see man mount it will help u
[07:36] <pike_> jk sry
[07:36] <M0E^lnx> I followed this howto http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=197102
[07:36] <mnoir> ollekalle: that is like askin what the number for 911 is
[07:37] <M0E^lnx> Olathe: but even after the light comes one, I still can't connect
[07:37] <pike_> Fraj: what is the problem?
[07:37] <Fraj> Right
[07:37] <Narada> hi guys; what do i add to my sources.lst if i want a package from feisty?
[07:37] <Fraj> you know you asked me to change the settings?
[07:37] <Fraj> not it wont even boot!
[07:37] <pedro> ok
[07:37] <pedro> thanks
[07:37] <Fraj> it says it cant detect my monitor
[07:37] <Fraj> and i cant even change it
[07:37] <foobarian> M0E^lnx, i assume the wireless card is supported by an existing driver?
[07:37] <Riyonuk> ehh not anymore XD
[07:37] <Riyonuk> I hate this so much
[07:37] <pike_> Fraj: what settings did you change?
[07:37] <Riyonuk> Doesnt ubuntu have a "Fix Connection" button like windows does somewhere?
[07:37] <Fraj> just the thing to NV
[07:37] <Riyonuk> yeah...
[07:37] <Riyonuk> someone should talk :p
[07:37] <M0E^lnx> no... I blacklisted the original bcm driver
[07:37] <Fraj> and then it asked for my gfx info
[07:37] <Riyonuk> >_>
[07:37] <Fraj> which i gave it
[07:37] <Riyonuk> its kinda quiet
[07:38] <Riyonuk> Hmm
[07:38] <Olathe> M0E^lnx: Does `iwlist scan` work ?
[07:38] <Fraj> then i clicked everything on default
[07:38] <Riyonuk> I must be disconnected
[07:38] <Fraj> not its fucked
[07:38] <Riyonuk> That means I can spam!
[07:38] <Riyonuk> <_<
[07:38] <M0E^lnx> Olathe:  it says scanning not supported
[07:38] <Fraj> im back sorry bout that a bit angry
[07:38] <Olathe> M0E^lnx: Alright, one sec.
[07:38] <Fraj> dont know what to do
[07:38] <ollekalle> mnoir: Ok, let me reformulate: I have no /etc/modprobe.conf and read some formums where they recommend me to add stuff to that file? I assume it do not exist in Ubuntu - am I wrong? :)
[07:39] <Fraj> anyone got any ideas?
[07:39] <slacker_nl> M0E^lnx: out of curiosity, are you installing a broadcom wireless interface?
[07:39] <tgelter> if I have unallocated space right after my root partition, how do I resize it if when I try in gparted, it won't let me because it's mounted?
[07:39] <_3dge_> any idea on my problem?
[07:39] <M0E^lnx> slacker_nl yes
[07:39] <foobarian> Fraj: do you have a command line? log in and cd to /etc/X11, and then look for files called xorg.conf*
[07:39] <LjL> Fraj: well, i'm sorry you're having problems... but that was a second warning about the language
[07:39] <slacker_nl> M0E^lnx: which one?
[07:39] <mnoir> ollekalle: no - it can be absent in an otherwise ok system :)
[07:39] <Fraj> im wo44y
[07:39] <M0E^lnx> slacker_nl: the 4318 chip
[07:39] <Fraj> yeh i do have command line
[07:39] <Fraj> well can i pm someone?
[07:39] <Fraj> cos this well get confusing lol
[07:39] <pike_> Fraj: you can simply alt-ctrl-f2 then login then sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and select vesa driver. then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart . i dont think i recommended nv but for you to goto wiki.ubuntu.com and search for nvidia
[07:39] <whyme> hi all, anyone know what's up with the documentation project pages (doc.gwos.org)?
[07:39] <mnoir> ollekalle: if you have a reason to have one, make it
[07:39] <Fraj> and then ill follow the instruction
[07:40] <ollekalle> mnoir: Ok, so if I add that file with proper content it will be utilized in a proper way then?
[07:40] <mnoir> sec
[07:40] <foobarian> Fraj: what he said, that's easier
[07:40] <Fraj> ok hold on pike
[07:40] <slacker_nl> M0E^lnx: I have an automated installer for this one: BCM4306
[07:40] <mnoir> ollekalle: i think so - try reading the manpage - it may help you
[07:40] <M0E^lnx> is it the same one as here http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=197102?
[07:40] <Riyonuk> OMFG, that must have been some major lag
[07:40] <Riyonuk> I was just spamming and then like 20 paragraphs just pop up
[07:41] <Fraj> gimme a minute just turnin pc on
[07:41] <whyme> slacker_nl: what automated installer is that, and on what ubuntu flavour?
[07:41] <mnoir> ollekalle: there are a couple of variations on location that are worth being aware of
[07:41] <M0E^lnx> slacker_nl: is it the same one as this http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=197102?
[07:41] <slacker_nl> M0E^lnx: nope
[07:42] <slacker_nl> I just the bmc4xxx-cutter module
[07:42] <M0E^lnx> slacker_nl: you think it would work?
[07:42] <ollekalle> mnoir: thanks. man modprobe.conf seems to be expressive :)

[07:42] <mnoir> ollekalle: this being a debian distrib - modprobe.d may come into your plans
[07:42] <slacker_nl> whyme: its a cli installer
[07:42] <whyme> slacker_nl: where from
[07:42] <whyme> ?
[07:42] <slacker_nl> whyme: www.euronet.nl/users/wesleys/ubuntu
[07:42] <whyme> slacker_nl: and what flavour of ubuntu are you on?
[07:42] <mnoir> ollekalle: in fact, assume until otherwise proven that modprobe.d style is the right thing
[07:43] <slacker_nl> whyme: it was developed on ubuntu but it can be used for all flavours
[07:43] <whyme> slacker_nl: ty
[07:43] <M0E^lnx> slacker_nl: you think there is a chance it will work?
[07:43] <kane77> is there any clever way I can use to install programs on a machine without internet connection???
[07:43] <mnoir> kane77: cd is pretty clever...
[07:43] <obi_1> hi, what else should I do (beside installing gstreamer packages) to listen mp3 music? amaroK still refused to play them.
[07:43] <slacker_nl> M0E^lnx: could be, you should try it with your card in order to see wheter it works
[07:43] <slacker_nl> it can also remove all installed files
[07:43] <genericuser> obi_1: amarok doesn't use gstreamer....
[07:44] <Fraj> ok i done that
[07:44] <Fraj> now how do i restart?
[07:44] <slacker_nl> M0E^lnx: so you can rollback
[07:44] <genericuser> obi_1: install the appropriate arts packages
[07:44] <kane77> mnoir, but cd doesnt have all the packages I need...
[07:44] <Fraj> anyone know the cmd to restart?
[07:44] <M0E^lnx> slacker_nl: where do I find that installer?...
[07:44] <mnoir> no - burn yer own
[07:44] <obi_1> genericuser: like?
[07:44] <pike_> Fraj: the sudo /etc/init.d/gmd restart should restart gui
[07:44] <slacker_nl> M0E^lnx: www.euronet.nl/users/wesleys/ubuntu/
[07:44] <pike_> Fraj: you can sudo shutdown -r now to reboot if you like
[07:44] <slacker_nl> look for the installNeworrk.zsh file

[07:44] <Fraj> command not found
[07:44] <genericuser> read the kubuntu sections
[07:44] <slacker_nl> you will need zsh to be installed though..
[07:44] <pike_> Fraj: gdm not gmd sorry
[07:45] <obi_1> genericuser: thx
[07:45] <Fraj> thanks
[07:45] <mnoir> kane77: also talk to genericuser, i think he is doing sumpin similar
[07:45] <eztk> could somebody confirm whether it not its possible to run gparted off the live cd, and resize existing partitions, a bit like partition magic?
[07:45] <Olathe> M0E^lnx: Something similar to this worked for me: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=190967
[07:45] <LjL> eztk: yes
[07:45] <M0E^lnx> slacker_nl: I'm guessing I'll need to be connected to the internet to run that ?
[07:45] <LjL> eztk: there is also a dedicated gparted CD for that matter
[07:46] <genericuser> what's kane77 doing?
[07:46] <n2diy> mnoir: How could you install linux from the cd, when your bios doesn't support booting from the cd?
[07:46] <mnoir> installing on an isolated box
[07:46] <genericuser> ah...
[07:46] <eztk> ljl: great.. someone was telling me i would lose data by resizing !!
[07:46] <kane77> genericuser, how to go about that?
[07:46] <genericuser> kane77: please repeat your question, I never got the full gist of it
[07:47] <kane77> genericuser, well I want to install some packages on a computer without a internet connection...
[07:47] <mnoir> n2diy: that is inconvenient and i do not happen to have a link handy - you need to look for the method that uses a couple of diskettes or a netboot
[07:47] <wyld> what does the live cd boot error " HW_random cannot enable RNG, aborting" mean?
[07:47] <LjL> eztk: they were right. resizing a partition is never a safe operation. you should definitely have a backup.
[07:47] <slacker_nl> M0E^lnx: for zsh yes, and to get the correct yes, for running the script: no
[07:47] <genericuser> kane77: where's the stickign point? dependencies?
[07:47] <kane77> genericuser, exactly...
[07:47] <acy> hello!
[07:47] <eztk> eztk: but if all goes to plan, then theres no reason for data to drop out by design
[07:47] <acy> does anyone know how to code in c++?
[07:47] <eztk> sorry i meant ljl
[07:48] <eztk> talking to myself again.. lol
[07:48] <wyld> !hello | acy
[07:48] <ubotu> hello: The classic greeting, and a good example. In component main, is optional. Version 2.1.1-4 (edgy), package size 47 kB, installed size 472 kB
[07:48] <n2diy> mnoir: That won't work, the cd and floppy drive occupy the same bay, it is one or the other, but not both of them.
[07:48] <genericuser> obi_1: in a hurry, do apt-get install libxine-extracodecs
[07:48] <eztk> acy: i used to.. but i hated it.. preferred C for some reason.. lol
[07:48] <LjL> eztk: no, of course not
[07:48] <kane77> genericuser, I'm getting tired of running around the house with usb disk in my hand...
[07:48] <eztk> ljl: lovely. i'd like to reclaim the 90gb currently unallocated.. lol
[07:48] <genericuser> kane77: you can go to packages.ubuntu.com and enumerate the dependencies you need..
[07:48] <LjL> eztk: but, a power outage, or an error in the filesystem that fsck failed to detect, or a bad sector on the driver, or simply a bug in gparted...
[07:48] <acy> hello!  i have a prompt and i'm rather quite confused...i have to programme this thing in c++...could you please help?
[07:49] <afflux> hi. got a problem with my fresh PC w/ Gigabyte GA-m55S-S3 mainboard and two 160GB HDDs which run with RAID-0. Ubuntu 6.10 amd64 alternate install shows /dev/sda and /dev/sdb as HDDs. I installed on /dev/sda and got Grub error 17 on booting.
[07:49] <LjL> eztk: note that, for some filesystems, you can only expand but not shrink
[07:49] <genericuser> or, if you have a box with a functioning repository list, do apt-get install -s packagename and it'll print the list of required packages
[07:49] <foobarian> gparted supports ext3 resizing???
[07:49] <Olathe> acy: Try man g++
[07:49] <genericuser> foobarian: yes, but resizing partitions is never safe, backup first
[07:50] <kane77> genericuser, yeah, but its quite a lot of packages... isnt there some clever way?
[07:50] <eztk> ljl: all the partitions are ext3 primary or extended (swap)
[07:50] <genericuser> kane77: you could write a batch script to download them for you, but other than that.....
[07:50] <acy> okay thank you Olathe
[07:50] <LjL> eztk: yeah, IIRC you can only expand but not shrink ext3
[07:50] <Olathe> acy: No problem.  If it doesn't show anything, let me know.
[07:50] <LjL> ... or was that vice versa
[07:51] <eztk> thanks ljl
[07:51] <eztk> i want to expand / slightly and give the rest of the space to /home
[07:51] <genericuser> LjL: I think you can shrink them, but when I did that, the filesystem shrunk but the new partition table went to the wrong disk... b0rking my whole system
[07:51] <LjL> genericuser: sounds like a nice enough bug
[07:51] <kane77> genericuser, aren't there some packages cd's? available for download??
[07:52] <eztk> whats the easiest way to backup to DVD-RW before doing this operation.. any good backup methods around?
[07:52] <genericuser> kane77: there's the official dvds and cds that might help...
[07:52] <genericuser> eztk: tar :-)
[07:52] <brasko> hi, I installed apache, and want to use php
[07:52] <n2diy> kane77:  take a look at debian.org
[07:52] <genericuser> eztk: might I suggest an external hdd though?
[07:52] <eztk> genericuser: i have one.. doesnt seem to work on linux, only windoze
[07:52] <UbuntuSucks> NAZIS
[07:52] -UbuntuSucks:#ubuntu- NAZIS
[07:52] <UbuntuSucks> ACTION NAZIS
[07:52] <brasko> I uncommented out the line 'AddType application/x-httpd-php .php' and 'AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps', what else is necessary?
[07:53] <eztk> test
[07:53] <genericuser> *whew*
[07:53] <LjL> eztk: failed
[07:53] <eztk> ljl: i got some wierd message saying i couldnt talk in here
[07:53] <sqwerasdf> greetings - anyone have any thots about when a fireforx 1.5.0.9 will be available for 6.x?
[07:54] <eztk> LOLs@ubuntusucks.. i mean.. why bother doing that ?!? *confused*
[07:54] <LjL> eztk: it was due to the fact that you are not a registered user, and a mode was set so that only registered users could talk. you should definitely register, IMHO
[07:54] <genericuser> sqwerasdf: no idea - download it yourself?
[07:54] <arrenlex> sqwerasdf: ...come again?
[07:54] <brasko> php ubuntu howto?
[07:54] <eztk> lol
[07:54] <eztk> ljl: just as well that i remembered the password
[07:55] <deepsa> eztk: hows its going man
[07:55] <eztk> deepsa: not bad, you?
[07:55] <deepsa> fine
[07:55] <sqwerasdf> 1.5.0.8 has problems 1.5.0.9 is not yet available.  have been patient but now need to surf freely so was wondering when 1.5.0.9 would be available.
[07:55] <eztk> deepsa: cool :)
[07:55] <sqwerasdf> will dl from moz directly
[07:55] <slacker_nl> whyme: do you like it?
[07:56] <genericuser> sqwerasdf: tried 2.0.0.1?
[07:56] <kane77> i need free cell for xubuntu... :) (well my grandfather needs it)
[07:56] <Balachmar> Hi, I want to use acpi to wake up my pc at a given time, nvram wakeup doesn't work with my mobo
[07:56] <Zaggynl> What is the opposite of 'grep -o' ?
[07:56] <genericuser> kane77: what's a "cell"?
[07:56] <sqwerasdf> not yet, but once going to moz directly will likely make switch to 2.x.  does the dev toolbar work with it?
[07:56] <acy> hello!  does anyone know c++ and is willing to help me programme something for ubuntu?
[07:56] <Balachmar> But the acpi stuff only is supported with the x86_64 kernel
[07:56] <genericuser> freecell? cell phone?
[07:56] <SAAL3> i must shit
[07:56] <LjL> Zaggynl: -v
[07:56] <SAAL3> wait a moment
[07:56] <SAAL3> iam on the toilett
[07:56] <Zaggynl> LjL, cheers
[07:56] <SAAL3> please stop chatting for a minute
[07:56] <genericuser> lolz
[07:56] <PriceChild> :)
[07:57] <genericuser> anyway, does linux support AHCI>
[07:57] <lynucs> hey i'm using krusader in ubuntu, and would like to know, how to close automatically all other k-processes which start with krusader?
[07:57] <LjL> actually... he was warned enough
[07:57] <genericuser> or mrore precisely, does Ubuntu support AHCI?
[07:57] <kane77> genericuser, the game... you know... freecell...
[07:57] <Balachmar> which is rather buggy, it crashes my computer a lot... So that is not an option, should I compile my own kernel, or is there another way?
[07:57] <Zaggynl> LjL, hmm I'm trying to grep the title out of a file, but the line is like this: 'title: bla - bla'
[07:57] <genericuser> kane77: should be in the default install?
[07:57] <kane77> genericuser, card game in windows...
[07:57] <Balachmar> And how difficult is it to create your own kernel?
[07:57] <Zaggynl> LjL, I only want to grep the 'bla - bla' part
[07:57] <lynucs> i mean the processes dont close after i  quit krusader automtically
[07:57] <kane77> genericuser, on my machine it is.. but i use gnome...
[07:57] <jbroome> kane77: apt-cache search freecell
[07:57] <genericuser> kane77: hrmm... if you use xfce, you might me out of luck
[07:58] <arrenlex> Zaggynl: several ways to do that. cut -d " " -f 2- comes to mind.
[07:58] <LjL> Zaggynl: uhm, i'd pipe a sed
[07:58] <Zaggynl> someone gave me this hint : grep STRING | sed 's/STRING//'
[07:58] <kane77> genericuser, I can install gnome-games, but it has hell of a dependencies...
[07:58] <LjL> Zaggynl: yeah
[07:58] <arrenlex> Zaggynl: Also you can use "sed 's/title://1'"
[07:59] <LjL> Zaggynl: grep "^title: " | sed "s/^title: //g"
[07:59] <genericuser> kane77: it depends on gnome, no? - a lot of stuff doesn't have xfce native builds
[07:59] <Zaggynl> cool, I gotta learn that :D
[07:59] <slacker_nl> whyme: and do you like it?
[08:01] <acy> gahhH!
[08:01] <arrenlex> gaah indeed!

[08:02] <acy> YES thank you that may just work!!
[08:02] <runixd> hello, if I just want to have grub on partition and not mbr, I put the name of partition during install ? Such as sda5 ?

[08:03] <Nic> Hmm... Is it possible for Ubuntu to detect hardware such as sound cards and run them during installations? I'm quite in need of it, or else I'll never get it installed :P I need it for software speech synthersizers.
[08:03] <Balachmar> @ acy :)
[08:03] <acy> hello!!
[08:03] <Theodor> hey
[08:03] <Riyonuk> And who is in charge of ubuntu's desktop icons? Id like to get involved or maybe see other icon sets
[08:03] <genericuser> nic, Ubuntu only detects some hardware... they keep saying they'll fix that in version+1 but it never happens
[08:04] <Nic> omg
[08:04] <gRaCiOsO_> i need help i was working ok with my ubuntu but it got freezed i had to reset this my nickname was gRaCiOsO it is still here online i think
[08:04] <gRaCiOsO_> someone know why?
[08:04] <Nic> well, that sucks then.:P
[08:04] <foobarian> nic: i guess it depends on which sound card it is, it autodetected all of mine...
[08:04] <genericuser> nic, it's sort of a universal thing :-\
[08:04] <arrenlex> gRaCiOsO_: /nick gRaCiOsO
[08:04] <Nic> Yeah
[08:05] <gRaCiOsO_> arrenlex,  * gRaCiOsO :Nickname is already in use.
[08:05] <arrenlex> ...oh. Maybe that won't work.
[08:05] <Nic> Heh... I could always go for it. That'd be nice if it could, no need to pay or get the county to do it then. Which, by the way is going to take forever. :P. So maybe...
[08:05] <Nic> for a hardware one
[08:05] <pike_> Riyonuk: i guess you could ask nice in #ubuntu-devel
[08:05] <acy> Balachmar, here is my prompt
[08:05] <acy> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39206/
[08:06] <foobarian> nic: which sound card do you have?
[08:06] <gRaCiOsO_> its the same ip than mine my pc got freezed and i reseted i dont know why it got feezed
[08:06] <Nic> Sound Blaster Live it is.
[08:06] <genericuser> nic: sound blaster? isn't that the software sound card by analog devices?
[08:06] <arrenlex> acy: Ah. Homework. You should ask your teacher then.
[08:06] <Riyonuk> pike_, whats your desktop look like?
[08:06] <Nic> Creative's.
[08:07] <exs> guys I'm really excited, how do I go about doing this?? http://www.metacafe.com/watch/358173/windows_xp_virtual_machine_on_linux_kvm/ Thanks :)
[08:07] <Nic> GRML was able to detect it, but well.... Of course there's a difference.
[08:07] <pike_> Riyonuk: blank i have icons turned off. im in xfce or fluxbox usually not gnome
[08:07] <acy> arrenlex, it's not homework..heh...it's for fbla and i'm having trouble enough trying to learn the language :(
[08:07] <foobarian> nic: should get autodetected... wait, is your goal to get sound working or to have speech synthesis operating during installation?
[08:07] <Riyonuk> pike_, :o why? I have to have everything looking nice
[08:07] <arrenlex> exs: Do you have a VT processor?
[08:07] <exs> arrenlex:  what's VT processor?
[08:07] <gRaCiOsO_> could someone help me?
[08:08] <Riyonuk> exs, use vmware
[08:08] <acy> no one at my high school teaches c++ and i'm not sure if anyone knows it at all...
[08:08] <Nic> the latter
[08:08] <redcard> acy: Looks like homework to me.. but, #Cplusplus might be a better channel
[08:08] <exs> Riyonuk:  thanks :)
[08:08] <pike_> Riyonuk: im very bad at organizing so if i did allow icons i wouldnt be able to see my wallpaper :)
[08:08] <acy> redcard, the channel is empty?
[08:08] <arrenlex> exs: what's the output of "cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep model"?
[08:08] <redcard> Hmm.
[08:08] <exs> Why didn't someone tell me there was vmware for linux!! I've been using wine!
[08:08] <mnoir> fbla = extracurricular homework
[08:08] <arrenlex> exs: Wine and vmware are two very different things.
[08:08] <jbroome> exs: it's not exactly hidden on the vmware page
[08:09] <exs> arrenlex:  which is better?
[08:09] <acy> mnoir, what do i even write c++ in in ubuntu?
[08:09] <acy> ahh i'm soo confused.
[08:09] <arrenlex> exs: They're different things. o_O
[08:09] <exs> arrenlex:  model           : 13model name      : Intel(R) Celeron(R) M processor         1.40GHz
[08:09] <LjL> !best | exs
[08:09] <ubotu> exs: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[08:09] <foobarian> exs: fwiw xp pro crashes under vmware for me
[08:09] <arrenlex> exs: Then you can't use KVM.
[08:09] <arrenlex> exs: Use vmware. Or qemu.
[08:09] <exs> arrenlex:  can i still use vmware though?
[08:09] <redcard> acy, perhaps you should make a step by step list of what you want to do in the application.. and then approach C++ groups/channels (I know there are some) and get help with the individual pieces
[08:09] <gRaCiOsO_> could someone help me?
[08:09] <Riyonuk> pike_, just do what I do, make  a folder and drag everything from your desktop to there :p
[08:09] <arrenlex> exs: Yes.
[08:09] <acy> thank you redcard!

[08:10] <genericuser> say, does vmware server run on linux?
[08:10] <mnoir> acy - installing build-essentials will give you many of the dev tools you should have
[08:10] <exs> LjL:  It's downloading now. Do I need the windows xp disc?
[08:10] <LjL> genericuser: yes, it's not packaged for Ubuntu though
[08:10] <pike_> genericuser: yes and its free as well
[08:10] <LjL> exs: if you want to run Windows XP on it, then yes
[08:10] <Nic> Well... If it can detect the sound card, it should all be fine. Then I just need to do a "swspeak" at the prompt and it should boot up. first at the one "Press enter to boot", then when speech says "Booting finished..."
[08:10] <LjL> exs: VMWare is a PC emulator.
[08:10] <genericuser> it's not packaged? :-(
[08:10] <exs> LjL:  what speed am I going to get?
[08:10] <acy> thank you foobarian, but i dont' know any c anyway eep.
[08:10] <LjL> genericuser: no. Player is, though.
[08:10] <acy> and thank you, mnoir, i'll do that now
[08:11] <genericuser> player is useless
[08:11] <pike_> genericuser: i had to register to download from vmware.  might be license issues
[08:11] <LjL> exs: almost native, i believe. except for graphics.
[08:11] <genericuser> pike_: ah
[08:11] <exs> what's the fastest?.. does it go, Wine > Qemu > vmware?
[08:11] <LjL> genericuser: why?
[08:11] <foobarian> acy: what's your background, windows or linux?
[08:11] <edgy_> LjL: I have a windows installed in a partition. Can I use that vmware player to launch it?
[08:11] <mnoir> acy: depending on what you are used to, you will want debuggers, ides etc.
[08:11] <genericuser> LjL: because you need pre-built vmware images?
[08:11] <acy> foobarian, linux ;p
[08:11] <arrenlex> exs: wine is DIFFERENT. You can't compare them. It does a DIFFERENT THING.
[08:11] <alienseer23> hello, how do I enable 5.1 sound with alsa?
[08:11] <acy> mnoir, i don't know the language, though, i just have the prompt.  i'm trying to learn it, but my time is super limited :(
[08:11] <exs> edgy_:  I don't think you can.. I think vmware sets up a virtual disc image..
[08:12] <foobarian> acy: at least you'll be familiar with linux editors and command lines, that's good
[08:12] <LjL> genericuser: ... and? it's a configuration file (a text editor makes it) and an image file (qemu makes it). or you can just use www.easyvmx.com
[08:12] <genericuser> exs, they're not really the same thng, but wine would be the fastest option
[08:12] <acy> yse, indeed, foobarian
[08:12] <Nic> Anyways... I'm going to try it out, when the internet isn't complaining about me using way too much space!:P
[08:12] <mnoir> acy: what languages do you know?
[08:12] <pike_> alienseer23: you can type "alsamixer" in a terminal and adjust from there.
[08:12] <genericuser> LjL: meh....
[08:12] <pengulord> what notebook under 600 bucks but above 100 should i buy to run ubuntu smothly
[08:12] <lemoniceblock> hi all, I'm new to ubuntu; I think I got ndiswrapper to fix the drivers for my wireless card but it doesn't seem to be picking up any wireless signals
[08:12] <LjL> edgy_: no, because Windows will freak out seeing all the different "hardware". you risk not being able to run it anymore *either* in VMWare or natively
[08:12] <edgy_> exs: so I need to install another windows from it?
[08:12] <alienseer23> pike: not working
[08:12] <LAPOCHKA> 
[08:12] <acy> mnoir, i know english, and a bit of spanish.
[08:12] <Nic> owned
[08:13] <acy> mnoir, i know english, and some spanish (where did my message go??)
[08:13] <Nic> it was sent.:P
[08:13] <exs> edgy_:  Yes, I'm pretty sure that vmware only works using a virtual partition, this partition is actually a large file on your HD
[08:13] <foobarian> edgy: i did that and it starts to boot up but then it crashes
[08:13] <exs> edgy_:  I don't know for definate
[08:13] <ouel_> no updates yet.. a record on ubuntu
[08:13] <mnoir> acy: c++ is not going to be easy as a first computer language - not to get good at it...
[08:13] <foobarian> exs: it does support running from physical disk but then windows crashes
[08:13] <Nic> Good, what do you recommend? Haha I'm wondering too...:P
[08:13] <Theodor> Guys, I opened xorg.conf to change the resolution, it says that there is a resolution 1280x800 but I cannot use it when I go to System->Preferences->screen
[08:13] <pike_> alienseer23: might do "lspci -v | grep audio" then search for that model on ubuntuforums.org
[08:13] <edgy_> LjL: thought i didn't understand what you mean by different hardware but anyway thx
[08:13] <Theodor> It only shows: 1024x something
[08:13] <exs> foobarian:  ah, ok
[08:14] <Nic> wow
[08:14] <Nic> 893 people.... Scary.:P
[08:14] <Nic> ok, one down
[08:14] <ouel_> Theodor, aha
[08:14] <LjL> edgy_: the "hardware" provided by VMWare (i.e. the virtual hardware) vs your real hardware
[08:14] <ironmax> qualcuno parla italiano?
[08:14] <Nic> omg
[08:14] <LjL> !it | ironmax
[08:14] <ubotu> ironmax: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[08:14] <server_> kljh
[08:14] <mnoir> nic - yeah - it is a little low these days....
[08:14] <acy> mnoir, i want to learn perl and python, but i had to do fbla in order to take a higher level computer course and c++ was the only event open
[08:14] <Theodor> so I want to use the 1280x800 ... how can I do that?
[08:14] <foobarian> exs: i'm sure i could get it to work given some reconfiguration but i don't need it that bad :)
[08:14] <alienseer23> pike: I'll try it...
[08:14] <ironmax> grazie mille
[08:14] <jbroome> Ooh easyvmx.com is cool, thanks for the link
[08:14] <LjL> edgy_: it's just like if you tried moving an HD with Windows to another, very different machine. Windows will freak out 99% of the times. that's just the way Windows is designed
[08:15] <pengulord> whats a good ubuntu notebook? 100-600 usd
[08:15] <exs> foobarian:  yeah, who needs xp anyway.. I just need a few of its applications to run
[08:15] <arrenlex> pengulord: For $100-600 you'd be lucky to get a OLPC.
[08:15] <edgy_> LjL: aha! thx for the clarification
[08:15] <foobarian> pengulord: how about a used thinkpad?
[08:15] <pengulord> http://www-132.ibm.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=4611686018425416096&storeId=1&langId=-1&categoryId=2576396&dualCurrId=73&catalogId=-840
[08:16] <edgy_> arrenlex: ;)
[08:16] <pengulord> hows that
[08:16] <jbroome> bah, you can get a thinkpad from 250 to 300 around here
[08:16] <Nic> Ouch... I almost thought that link was going to crash my screen reader, or make me unable to move it for a few seconds.:P
[08:16] <pengulord> :( sorries
[08:16] <pike_> pengulord: ive had good luck with toshibas and asus.
[08:16] <Nic> it's just being weird :D
[08:16] <Nic> ...
[08:17] <pike_> pengulord: just research the hardware. youll want a nvidia graphics card etc
[08:17] <pengulord> im not playing games on it
[08:18] <pengulord> itll be my school computer
[08:18] <foobarian> pengulord: i'd go for as much ram as possible, 512MB minimum
[08:18] <pengulord> yea
[08:18] <pengulord> how much ram did that thinkpad have?
[08:18] <Nic> Global Ignore has been Enabled! All incoming messages will be blocked. <BOFHNet IRC Ignore System>
[08:19] <exs> Does anyone know how I am supposed to make a vmware compatible image (.vmx extension) windows xp image?
[08:19] <gabi> anyone knows how to create a shut-down icon on the desktop in dapper (gnome)?
[08:19] <foobarian> pengulord: 256, on the low side.  i still use a 570E with 192MB of RAM :)
[08:19] <Riyonuk> Anyone know of a program that shows disk space in a GUI?
[08:20] <gabi> Riyonuk, system>admin>disks

[08:20] <Riyonuk> gabi, yeah...thats not there
[08:20] <ubuntu-usr> Hello, I recently installed ubuntu and used it for a few weeks to get everything working etc.. I now Installed a secondary drive and I am bout to perform a clean install. I want to install it on the secondary drive, but since the two drives are identical I cannot figure out which one is which during the install. The originally drive still has ubuntu on it. How can I see which drive is using the space so I can figure out which is which. Im 
[08:20] <gabi> Riyonuk, whatd o you mean?
[08:21] <Riyonuk> gabi, its not there
[08:21] <Riyonuk> Im using 6.10 clean install
[08:21] <ChaosR> !kernel
[08:21] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[08:21] <gabi> do you have system>admin|
[08:21] <gabi> ?
[08:21] <ChaosR> ubotu: thanks
[08:21] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[08:21] <Riyonuk> I have System > Administration
[08:22] <ubuntu-usr> Ehh, just figured it out
[08:22] <ubuntu-usr> sorry for the trouble
[08:22] <ubuntu-usr> thanks
[08:22] <jbroome> baobab will do it too
[08:22] <Riyonuk> Anyone know of a program that shows disk space in a GUI?
[08:22] <jbroome> Riyonuk: baobab will do it too
[08:22] <gabi> Riyonuk, you use gnome?
[08:22] <Riyonuk> Yes
[08:22] <kane77> does normal install cd work as a package repository?
[08:23] <runix1> How do I install grub on a partition instead of MBR ?
[08:24] <century_child> hello everybody, I have a problem with ubuntu and my conection to internet
[08:25] <mnoir> kane77: it can: "deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 5.10 _Breezy Badger_ - Release i386 (20051012)] / breezy main restricted" is the line for mine
[08:25] <mnoir> from an old release :)
[08:25] <Riyonuk> Can someone explain what beryl is? Is it a replacment of gnome?
[08:25] <mnoir> !beryl
[08:25] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-xgl
[08:25] <runix1> !grub
[08:25] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[08:26] <Riyonuk> Hmm
[08:26] <century_child> when the computer is not conected to internet, the gdm seems to be waiting for a conection, and the system turns very slow
[08:27] <rambo3> century_child, wirless or wired
[08:28] <century_child> 4rambo3 wired
[08:28] <kane77> mnoir, and will the ubuntu cd work as a repository for xubuntu?
[08:29] <rambo3> dont know , if you are more not connected then connected add # to  auto line in /etc/network/interfaces
[08:29] <mnoir> kane - i see no reason why not
[08:30] <mnoir> kane77: i do not expect there will be any conflicts
[08:31] <Midrand-31> hi all, can someone help me fix my usb drive, its read only for some reason
[08:31] <rambo3> !meta
[08:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about meta - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:31] <kane77> mnoir, I think so, but I wanted to be sure.. (before I start to download 700 megs :)
[08:31] <mnoir> kane77: :)
[08:31] <pike_> Midrand-31: did you format it in windows?
[08:31] <freakytux> Midrand-31: in ubuntu?
[08:32] <kane77> Midrand-31, what filesystem it is formated to??
[08:32] <Airwulf> hello to you all
[08:32] <Midrand-31> pike_ yeah its a mobile drive, formatted in windows, ubuntu reads and all but wont write to it
[08:32] <century_child> rambo3, but when the system start again, how I could turn on the net conection?
[08:32] <rambo3> ifup ifconfig
[08:32] <Midrand-31> kane77 im not 100% sure im hoping fat32
[08:32] <Airwulf> how can I change on gnome/ubuntu the default applications which will be started for example in firefox when I click a mpeg4 link?
[08:33] <pike_> Midrand-31: id copy everything over to ubuntu then mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1  or sdb1 or whatever then copy everything back to it. only problem there is no files over 4 gigs i think but fat32 is the way to go for crossplatform usb drives
[08:33] <century_child> but it's manual, if I want to do that in a automatic way?
[08:34] <pike_> Midrand-31: right now its probably ntfs
[08:34] <mnoir> Midrand-31: /etc/mtab should tell you what it is
[08:34] <Midrand-31> pike_ it could be ntfs, let me check
[08:34] <klypso> hey, i'm having problems with adding programs
[08:35] <mnoir> klypso: 1 pgm + 1 pgm usually = 2 pgms
[08:35] <klypso> thanks
[08:35] <wyld> does debian use the apt-get thingie/
[08:35] <klypso> nice
[08:35] <mnoir> wyld: yes
[08:35] <iloveubunut> wyld - yes
[08:35] <wyld> ok
[08:35] <wyld> thansk
[08:35] <Midrand-31> pike_ yeah its ntfs, that explains it
[08:35] <rambo3> wyld, type apt-get moo
[08:36] <pengulord> someoen pick me a notebook for under 600
[08:36] <Midrand-31> pike_ id be more comfortable doing fat32 on windows, will that work ok ?
[08:36] <varsendaggr> what is a quick and easy voip?
[08:36] <pike_> Midrand-31: yeah
[08:36] <Midrand-31> pike_ cool thanks for the help
[08:36] <pengulord> pvt me
[08:36] <klypso> when I try to do it through the menu, it says each time '<whatever program>' is not available in any software channel, and 'The application might not support your system architecture'
[08:36] <kaleimn> g
[08:37] <JAyRULE> is there some gui that can be loaded in ubuntu so that you could install programs that are only available in windows?
[08:37] <century_child> rambo3, do you know what program it's trying to conect to internet in ubuntu 6.10?
[08:37] <Nomaggiz> hi!
[08:37] <mnoir> klypso: hw? dist? pkg? command?
[08:37] <astronouth7304> rhythmbox is making my FLAC files sound like the chipmunks, but VLC plays them fine. I'm guessing it's something with gstreamer. How do I fix it?
[08:37] <rambo3> century_child, i think its network adminstration tool ,
[08:37] <klypso> mnoir: eh?
[08:38] <alex_> huhuu
[08:38] <wyld> rambo3: ha, i love it
[08:38] <Nomaggiz> quick question: I just plugged into my system a HD, with fedora installed on it, which is on LVM. How do I access that drive from within my current edgy system?
[08:38] <wyld> mount it
[08:38] <mnoir> klypso: some details as to what you are doing and on what you are doing it?
[08:38] <Nomaggiz> wyld: how do I go about doing it? gnome-mount doesn't find the disc...
[08:38] <century_child> rambo3, do you know a way to know or to disable that tool?
[08:39] <klypso> mnoir: just installed ubuntu 6.06 and installed all updates, now i'm trying to get some programs
[08:39] <wyld> nomaggiz: i'm really not sure, try
[08:39] <wyld> !mount
[08:39] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[08:39] <wyld> hmm
[08:39] <Riyonuk> Is there a multiplayer game every ubuntu user plays? With scoreboards, leaders, etc
[08:39] <arrenlex> Hey wyld.
[08:39] <piiimp> Does anyone know if you can map a local printer in Linux to a Remote Desktop session in Windows?  I want to see about getting coworkers off Windows and onto Linux but they need to remote into a Terminal Server for using one app....
[08:40] <klypso> mnoir: need anything else?
[08:40] <wyld> hey arrenlex
[08:40] <wyld> wassup?
[08:40] <Nomaggiz> what does !fstab mean? what's the ! for?
[08:40] <wyld> how's it feel to be 18 arrenlex?
[08:40] <slacker_nl> pike_: alternate works for me :)
[08:40] <century_child> rambo3, I thought it was ntpdate, but It wasn't
[08:40] <arrenlex> piiimp: You can use samba to share a printer in Linux so it can be seen as a shared printer in Windows. Does that help?
[08:40] <astronouth7304> Nomaggiz: say just "!fstab" (no quotes)
[08:40] <Nomaggiz> !fstab
[08:40] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[08:40] <Nomaggiz> !mount
[08:40] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[08:41] <Nomaggiz> !diskmounter
[08:41] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - See also !fuse
[08:41] <arrenlex> wyld: The same as it does to be 17 except that now I kind of feel bad for being a lazy bum contributing nothing to society.
[08:41] <arrenlex> Somewhat.
[08:41] <wyld> llol
[08:41] <mnoir> klypso: EXACTLY HOW are you trying to"get some programs"
[08:41] <rambo3> century_child, i dont know about gnome startup
[08:41] <wyld> arrenlex: i know exactly how ya feel
[08:41] <piiimp> arrenlex but theres no way to redirect a printer from linux to windows in remote desktop without installing/setting up samba on the linux pc
[08:41] <piiimp> ?
[08:42] <century_child> thanks 4rambo3
[08:42] <arrenlex> piiimp: Is there a way to do this in Windows?
[08:42] <wyld> nomaggiz: see if kitche is here, he is good with mounting stuff
[08:42] <arrenlex> XD OMG
[08:42] <ikonia> has anyone got a good suggestion for support for the 915 chip and the i810 xorg driver ?
[08:42] <arrenlex> Can I quote you?!
[08:42] <piiimp> arrenlex: yes, you select map local printers option in the client....
[08:42] <klypso> mnoir: through 'Applications' -> 'Add/Remove' -> Then the error happened each time I tried to ckeck a program for installation.
[08:42] <faLUCE> Hi, this is the result of configure script for a program "checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.0.3) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!". Qt are installed, so which flag i have to add when launching configure?
[08:42] <piiimp> arrenlex: but in linux client, not sure if it knows how to map from linux to windows..
[08:42] <mnoir> oic - sec
[08:43] <arrenlex> piiimp: You've lost me. I've never fooled around with remote desktops and clients. Sorry.
[08:43] <piiimp> ah ok
[08:43] <piiimp> np
[08:43] <arrenlex> faLUCE: apt-get install kdebase-dev
[08:43] <astronouth7304> is this a good place to ask about multimedia problems?
[08:43] <swilliamson> i have a ubuntu server I need to add multiple IP addresses to the eth0 interface, anyone know of a way of doing it?
[08:43] <mnoir> klypso: i do not use that function so i am bbooting a system to try it
[08:43] <arrenlex> faLUCE: even if you have QT installed, you need the headers to compile stuff against it.
[08:43] <faLUCE> arrenlex: many thanks
[08:43] <piiimp> if i can get local printers in Ubuntu mapping through to a Windows terminal session I can get rid of windows on these workstations and get everyone on Ubuntu =)
[08:44] <mnoir> others:feel free to jump in to help klypso :)
[08:44] <klypso> mnoir: ok thanks
[08:44] <swj> Does anyone have edgy murrine 0.31 GTK2 engine (deb) for download?
[08:45] <tonyyarusso> Say, what does the line "New PPPD = yes" mean in /etc/wvdial.conf?
[08:45] <gabi> hi , can anyone advice me how to create a logoff/shutdown icon on my desktop?
[08:46] <bluefox83> ok, how do i find out what package contains kwriteconfig?
[08:46] <LjL> bluefox83: if you have it installed, "dpkg -S kwriteconfig"
[08:46] <LjL> !apt-file | otherwise
[08:46] <ubotu> otherwise: apt-file is a program that can tell you which package(s) contain(s) a given filename. To install it and generate the database it needs, run "sudo apt-get install apt-file && sudo apt-file update"
[08:46] <arrenlex> bluefox83: If you don't, use the second box on packages.ubuntu.com
[08:46] <arrenlex> bluefox83: If you don't want to install stuff.
[08:47] <mnoir> klypso: have you tried using synaptic to install the same thing?
[08:47] <foobarian> swilliamson, additional ip addresses can be assigned to virtual interfaces such as eth0:0, eth0:1, etc.
[08:47] <arrenlex> LjL: Who are you banning? o_o
[08:47] <LjL> arrenlex: spammers
[08:47] <arrenlex> I see.
[08:47] <mnoir> klypso: i am not having a problem witht he add/install function
[08:47] <foobarian> swilliamson, try 'ifconfig eth0:0 1.2.3.4' and then 'ifconfig'
[08:47] <LaserLine> Where does smbpasswd store the passwords?
[08:47] <itsik> ?
[08:48] <mnoir> klypso: it is asking you for your password?
[08:48] <bluefox83> i remember..in debian there was a command for apt to search through packages in the repository to find files in packages
[08:48] <foobarian> swilliamson, unfortunately i don't know of a non-manual method
[08:48] <klypso> mnoir : is what?
[08:48] <arrenlex> bluefox83: That is probably apt-file.
[08:48] <mnoir> klypso: the installer is asking you for your password?
[08:49] <bluefox83> ok..friend got a .bin file and wants to know how to open it..any ideas?
[08:49] <tonyyarusso> bluefox83: What's it for?
[08:49] <cnet2> hi.. I'm using tehereal, but when I grab some packets I get this kind of things.. "\000\021\027\000\", i know i just have to decode it, but don't know how.. can anyone help me?
[08:49] <klypso> mnoir: The Add/Remove feature doesn't, but the Synaptic Package manager is
[08:49] <bluefox83> tonyyarusso, i have no idea...he just said it's a .bin
[08:49] <arrenlex> bluefox83: chmod +x file.bin && ./file.bin
[08:49] <LaserLine> When you run smbpasswod what file is that information stored in?
[08:49] <bluefox83> ok
[08:50] <tonyyarusso> bluefox83: arrenlex's will work, but it's quite likely there's a better way to install whatever it is (ati drivers, for instance)
[08:50] <mnoir> klypso: so does synaptic succeed where the menu item failed?
[08:50] <bluefox83> i don't think it's ati drivers, the package is planeshit.bin
[08:50] <klypso> mnoir : Let me try...
[08:51] <faLUCE> arrenlex: the problem remains after having installed kdebase-dev
[08:51] <arrenlex> bluefox83: o_O Well that's not a suspicious name at all. Is he sure he knows what's in it?
[08:51] <mnoir> strange that the menu item did not ask for pswd
[08:51] <arrenlex> faLUCE: and you have build-essential installed, I'm assuming?
[08:51] <johal> my flash player doesnt play audio
[08:51] <bluefox83> arrenlex, i unno...i never asked
[08:51] <arrenlex> johal: 7 or 9?
[08:51] <johal> what should i do?
[08:52] <mnoir> klypso: have you messed with the root user at all?
[08:52] <johal> arrenlex, 7
[08:52] <arrenlex> johal: Get 9.
[08:52] <johal> beta?
[08:52] <klypso> mnoir : A fresh install, not at all
[08:52] <arrenlex> johal: Yes.
[08:52] <johal> how do i remove 7?
[08:52] <faLUCE> arrenlex: maybe kde and kde-devel are required?
[08:52] <arrenlex> johal: Depends how you installed it.
[08:52] <mnoir> k - just checking
[08:52] <arrenlex> faLUCE: No.
[08:52] <mnoir> :}
[08:52] <bluefox83> arrenlex, he says it's an mmorpg
[08:52] <johal> arrenlex, downladed off adobe's site, then executed ./flashinstaller.. something like that
[08:52] <johal> script based
[08:52] <faLUCE> arrenlex: in this case i don't know how to solve it
[08:53] <klypso> mnoir: If I wanted to install abiword, how would I do the through the package manager?
[08:53] <arrenlex> johal: Ah. As root?
[08:53] <mnoir> klypso: which package mgr - there are 2 or three available to you
[08:53] <johal> yes arrai
[08:53] <johal> arrenlex, *
[08:53] <johal> got it anyway.
[08:53] <johal> thank you

[08:53] <gabi> anyone knows how to make a shutdown/logoff icon on the desktop?
[08:53] <gRaCiOsO> i have a problem with my ubuntu it gets freezed when im in a page ezonic.com and i need to restart the computer it page uses flash could it be the problem?
[08:54] <klypso> mnoir: Synaptic... what others can I use?
[08:54] <mnoir> ok - in synaptic, use the search to look for abiword, this is the easiest way
[08:54] <arrenlex> gRaCiOsO: ezonic.com appears to be a domain park directory with no plugins.
[08:55] <klypso> mnoir: I did, nothing showing

[08:56] <klypso> mnoir: I cannot find the abiword package
[08:56] <gRaCiOsO> but it is only with that page :S
[08:56] <mnoir> huh? i wonder if your source repositories are all ok
[08:56] <n2diy> klypso: do you have all the repos enabled in synaptic?
[08:57] <pike_> abiword is in main
[08:57] <mnoir> click all and tell me the first one
[08:57] <n2diy> ok
[08:57] <klypso> n2diy: come again
[08:57] <mnoir> and what is the number of packages listed at the bottom of the synaptic window?
[08:57] <Music_Shuffle> Question. When the page says 'Edgy Backports', that means they're what?
[08:57] <n2diy> klypso: never mind, I thought abiword was in a repo that you didn't have enabled, but pike says it is in main.
[08:59] <klypso> mnoir: 2064
[08:59] <klypso> mnoir: when I go to 'All'
[08:59] <mnoir> sounds good to me...there is something i am not seeing....

Then I realized I didn't have the latest version so I removed all of the modules, and now when I go to install the updated package from vmwares site, I get "A previous version was detected, setup will not continue" business. Is there any way to erradicate any traces of vmware?

[09:12] <Ntp> or if i reboot with the k7 kernel and dist-upgrade work to k7?

[09:14] <stefg> Ntp...there's no way of getting precompiled binaries for k7, it won't have much effect anyway. In edgy this led to giving up the architecture-specific kernels for the -generic ones. Put your time to a better use :-)

[09:17] <alexis_> ok, thanks

[09:18] <Draegan> Alright, so... I think this question was asked a little while back, but it goes so damn fast that I can't catch up.:P How does one detect their wireless with Linux, exactly? Or should that be obvious once I boot the installation?

[09:23] <alexis_> n2diy: what is it?
[09:23] <stefg> gili, as i read  there was no maintainer for disk-admin, and since edgy uses a uuid-style fstab noone adapted it to edgy... so it was removed..
[09:23] <n2diy> alexis_: sorry for being curt, I was typing with one hand, hang on and let me fire up nautilus.
[09:23] <piiimp> how do i list what USB devices are detected in Ubuntu?
[09:23] <mnoir> idawood: nautilus is the generally accepted one

[09:25] <exs> pike_:  "sudo -s locate vmware | xargs -i rm -fr {}" not working  "/usr/bin/locate: /usr/bin/locate: cannot execute binary f"
[09:25] <jellybear> arrenlex: strace reports that execve fails with EACCESS
[09:25] <jellybear> *sigh*
[09:25] <arrenlex> exs: Why not just use "sudo locate"?
[09:26] <pike_> exs: bah what was the vmware package name you installed?
[09:26] <pibarnas> hi folks, my dvd driver is locked with an audio cd inside of it. I've tried many ways to unlock and ejecting it without reboot, without success (fuser -vk /medic/cdrom0; umount /mnt/dvd; etc), can someone help me?
[09:26] <jellybear> arrenlex: thx anyway
[09:26] <pike_> exs: sudo -s by itself first
[09:26] <exs> arrenlex:  I just want one single terminal line that will locate, and delete any traces of vmware
[09:26] <alexis_> n2diy: It's enough for me, but how can I get it to display the size in kb:s and not in how many folders it contains?
[09:26] <arrenlex> pibarnas: What does "fuser -m /dev/dvd" say?
[09:26] <pibarnas> let me see...
[09:27] <piiimp> heh has anyone ever tried to get an 'EyeTV Hybrid' USB device (designed for Mac) running in Ubuntu Linux?
[09:27] <pibarnas> it says nothing... :(
[09:27] <datil> how can i change the screen resolution to something higher than 1024x768? i already installed nvidia's display driver
[09:27] <n2diy> alexis_: try view-visible columns.
[09:27] <pibarnas> weird, isn't it?
[09:27] <arrenlex> exs: sudo find / -name "*vmware*" | sudo xargs rm -rif
[09:27] <arrenlex> exs: For safety, that command will ask you before it deletes a file.
[09:28] <exs> ok cheers, thanks pike_ and arrenlex
[09:28] <arrenlex> exs: If you're sure that you're safe, remove i from that last part.
[09:28] <pike_> arrenlex: is the -i flag needed for xargs?
[09:28] <stefg> !fixres | datil
[09:28] <ubotu> datil: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type "sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart" in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[09:28] <arrenlex> pike_: No. See above.
[09:28] <alexis_> n2diy: I have size and some other stuff enabled, which one should I enable?
[09:28] <pibarnas> the driver just stopped working. It can't release the cd...
[09:28] <foobarian> faLUCE: that's odd.  some ideas: 1) try on a different distro with qt-devs if you have access 2) try some other simple qt program 3) assuming the configure script from that program is broken try editing configure.ac to see why it fails
[09:28] <pibarnas> only when I reboot...
[09:28] <n2diy> alexis_: it is up to you.
[09:28] <exs> arrenlex:  "root@engle-laptop:~#  sudo find / -name "*vmware*" | sudo xargs rm -rif....find: WARNING: Hard link count is wrong for /proc/6348: this may be a bug in your filesystem driver. "
[09:29] <arrenlex> exs: Well that doesn't look nromal. o_O
[09:29] <arrenlex> normal
[09:29] <arrenlex> exs: Google that error, I guess. It's not related to my command.
[09:30] <exs> arrenlex:  what'sthe equlivant to scan disc in ubuntu?
[09:30] <arrenlex> exs: fsck
[09:30] <alexis_> n2diy: I have size enabled, but it doesn't tell me how big folders are in kb:s, it just tells how many folders it contains. It's just folders
[09:30] <arrenlex> exs: Don't run it on a mounted filesystem.
[09:30] <exs> arrenlex:  what's the command to bring fsck to do a check and fix errors in terminal?
[09:30] <arrenlex> exs: Remount read-only first. Or run from a liveCD.
[09:30] <exs> arrenlex:  oh
[09:30] <shreeve> argh! trying to get my t60p's wireless to work with edgy!
[09:30] <exs> arrenlex:  ok
[09:30] <alexis_> n2diy: I mean i get information for all other files
[09:30] <genius314> I have a Wacom tablet, and when I scroll, the window scrolls the wrong direction.
[09:30] <png> i ve a remote Ubuntu machine that hasnt configure for Remote desktop. im connected it via ssh and  Gnome Desktop is on now. can i configure Remote Desktop login via ssh:)?
[09:31] <grnwood> shreeve ... what chipset?
[09:31] <grnwood> ipw2200?
[09:31] <dmc_> laptop:~$ /opt/nessus/bin/nessus-fetch --register 8593-F646-52E2-BCA1-71DF
[09:31] <dmc_> bash: /opt/nessus/bin/nessus-fetch: No such file or directory
[09:31] <foobarian> alexis_, try 'du -s * | sort -n'
[09:31] <Scunizi> genius314: Turn it upside down :0
[09:31] <n2diy> alexis_: I see what your saying, I don't know how to do that.
[09:31] <shreeve> grnwood - ipw3945
[09:31] <dmc_> Any suggestions?
[09:31] <alexis_> n2diy: in console?
[09:31] <genius314> Scunizi: Hahahahaha... no.
[09:31] <Scunizi> genius314:  Sorry couldn't resist
[09:31] <shreeve> grnwood - can i priv you?
[09:31] <stefg> png: you can sudo apt-get install vino on the remote box and vncviewer on your local one
[09:32] <grnwood> sure
[09:32] <foobarian> alexis_, yes
[09:32] <n2diy> alexis_: maybe?
[09:32] <n2diy> How do you view the size of a directory?
[09:32] <Scunizi> genius314: do you have wacom-tools installed?  My install was effortless.  Worked after making changes to xorg
[09:32] <foobarian> du
[09:32] <shreeve> grnwood - you see me in priv chat?
[09:32] <arrenlex> n2diy: du
[09:32] <mnoir> n2diy: du <dirname>
[09:32] <n2diy> thanks
[09:33] <Last_Key> nediy: you can us ls -l
[09:33] <foobarian> n2diy: du -s to avoid subdirs
[09:33] <Last_Key> use*
[09:33] <genius314> Scunizi: Yeah, I installed it. But afterwards, the scroll was reversed
[09:33] <n2diy> alexis_: in the console use du
[09:33] <mnoir> n2diy: du -h for human readable sizes
[09:33] <datil> stefg, also, how can i remove the splash screen showing the logo of Nvidia when XOrg launches?
[09:33] <alexis_> n2diy: It displays the list of files. I can now see everything I need for all other files than folders. For folders the size displayed is how many folders it contains...
[09:34] <madman91> hey all
[09:34] <madman91> i just got a 300gb hdd... if i want to backup my entire linux install.. can i just use cp -ax /
[09:34] <exs> arrenlex:  " "root@engle-laptop:~#  sudo find / -name "*vmware*" | sudo xargs rm -rif....find: WARNING: You're an idiot, please step away from your laptop and don't even look at me again. Ubuntu is not designed for "special" people" :S
[09:34] <grnwood> shreeve - can't priv i think firewalled
[09:34] <superkirbyartist> Ekiga is always saying "Registration failed: Forbidden" when I login!
[09:34] <grnwood> shreeve- i see u
[09:34] <grnwood> shreeve - you can't see me
[09:34] <png> vino is already installed. i just wanna know how can i set it via ssh? now i want to see that remote machine's already opened Gnome session's screen
[09:34] <Scunizi> genius314: is it that way everywhere in the system or just in Gimp or something else?
[09:35] <arrenlex> madman91: To back it up so you can get at the files? Or to back it up so you can restore exactly your partition from the file?
[09:35] <n2diy> alexis_: I'm not familiar with the command, try 'man du'
[09:35] <shreeve> grnwood - i don't see you in priv chat... hrm... can you try to ping me there?
[09:35] <foobarian> alexis_, try "du -sh * | sort -n"
[09:35] <mrabti> salut tout le monde
[09:35] <madman91> arrenlex: which is better? ... well which is easier
[09:35] <foobarian> alexis_, or even better, "du -sh * | sort -n | more"
[09:35] <arrenlex> madman91: If the latter, you might want to consider "dd if=/dev/sda2 of=backupfile" where /dev/sda2 is your Linux partition.
[09:35] <stefg> datil: put 'option "nologo" "true" ' in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf  in Section Driver
[09:35] <superkirbyartist> Can someone help me please?  I would like to use my Gizmo account!
[09:35] <arrenlex> madman91: Both are pretty easy. It depends what you need to do.
[09:35] <genius314> genius314: Everywhere. Even media players turn the volume up when i scroll down and down when I scroll up.
[09:35] <grnwood> shreeve -- i'm egress fw'ed
[09:35] <genius314> woops
[09:35] <madman91> arrenlex: i can do both :D
[09:36] <genius314> Scunizi: Everywhere. Even media players turn the volume up when i scroll down and down when I scroll up.
[09:36] <superkirbyartist> Anyone?
[09:36] <arrenlex> madman91: If you make a giant tarball out of /, you can then get at files. But if you bitcopy your partition, you can completely restore it with dd if=backupfile of=/dev/sda2
[09:36] <madman91> arrenlex: is backupfile just backupfile?
[09:36] <alexis_> foobarian: I tried it already. Is it at all possible to change the format how to display the size of folders?
[09:36] <madman91> arrenlex: no extension?
[09:36] <arrenlex> madman91: backupfile is whatever filename you want your backup to have. Call it fred if you want.
[09:36] <shreeve> grnwood - okay. on my ipw3945, i start with 'iwconfig eth1 essid ESSIDHERE enc ENCHERE' and then do a 'dhclient eth1'
[09:36] <madman91> arrenlex: i will call it fred :D
[09:36] <Last_Key> where is run field in ubuntu
[09:37] <Scunizi> genius314: did you uncomment out the line in xorg dealing with "ForceDevice" - Table PC Only?  Mine didn't work right until I did that.
[09:37] <madman91> arrai: do you know how to do incremental or differential backups
[09:37] <foobarian> alexis_, you could omit the h... but it will still be a size
[09:37] <arrenlex> madman91: What extension would it have? It's a copy of a partition.
[09:37] <shreeve> grnwood - everything looks good, I get an ip, life is grand... but I can't ping crap or route anything... even though i have an IP from my wap
[09:37] <christopher> I'm having trouble with usermod to let a new user use sudo
[09:37] <madman91> arrenlex: .partition
[09:37] <Scunizi> superkirbyartist: what's not working.. You can't log in?
[09:37] <genius314> Scunizi: No, I got rid of those lines completely.
[09:37] <grnwood> shreeve - you running WEP or WPA?
[09:37] <shreeve> wep
[09:37] <superkirbyartist> Scunizi: Yes.
[09:38] <arrenlex> madman91: If you want *shrug*
[09:38] <grnwood> okay, try it with WEP off on AP?
[09:38] <superkirbyartist> Scunizi: It says registration failed.
[09:38] <grnwood> just to isolate?
[09:38] <madman91> arrenlex: how do i do incremental or differential backups?
[09:38] <mnoir> christopher: how are you using it to enable sudo?
[09:38] <shreeve> ok... i'll lose my connection cause i'm sharing it right now with this box
[09:38] <christopher> mnoir usermod -a -G sudo bob
[09:38] <Scunizi> genius314: put them back in.  You might want to sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg to get it done automatically.
[09:38] <arrenlex> madman91: I don't do backups. xD Ask someone else.
[09:38] <christopher> mnoir: sudo usermod -a -G sudo bob
[09:38] <P3L|C4N0> greetings
[09:38] <alexis_> with 'su -b' I can get it to display the size, but it is only in the terminal
[09:38] <grnwood> yeah ... then, what's your routing table say?
[09:39] <Scunizi> superkirbyartist: hang on let me check my gizmo config.
[09:39] <mrabti> J'ai une petite question dans Ubuntu
[09:39] <mrabti> Je souhaite changer la resolution du mode Console
[09:39] <genius314> Scunizi: Well I have a backup copy. I'll just copy them from there.
[09:39] <iloveubunut> madman91 what are you backing up a workstation or a server?
[09:39] <mnoir> christopher: i believe you need to add them to your admingrp unless you are doing something different in sudoers
[09:39] <arrenlex> !fr | mralphabet
[09:39] <ubotu> mralphabet: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[09:39] <madman91> iloveubunut: workstation
[09:39] <arrenlex> ...oh, sorry.
[09:39] <faLUCE> foobarian: the configure script is generated with autoconf. modifying it would be a bad idea
[09:39] <datil> does the text-mode Ubuntu install automatically choose/recommends the partition size and mountpoints?
[09:39] <mnoir> christopher: admin group*
[09:39] <alexis_> I mean 'du -b *'
[09:39] <alexis_> sorry
[09:39] <slacker_nl> datil: yes
[09:39] <christopher> mnoir, the command works, (no errors) but the sudo on the other account seems unresponsive
[09:39] <shreeve> grnwood - trying something real quick... i'll update ya in a sec
[09:39] <madman91> arrenlex: if i use dd.. can i access the files inside it ?
[09:40] <christopher> mnoir, so 'sudo usermod -a -G admin bob'
[09:40] <madman91> brb arrenlex iloveubunut
[09:40] <stefg> datil: yes, but as all automatic algorithms it can be quite stupid
[09:40] <iloveubunut> madman - you only want data or whole system??
[09:40] <Scunizi> genius314: Try that, uncomment out those lines in the three Wacom sections then CTRL/ALT/Backspace to restart X then let me know what happened.
[09:40] <arrenlex> madman91: Not easily. You could mount it as a loopback device. That would require Linux.
[09:40] <foobarian> faLUCE: the point is to figure out why it's failing, if at all.  usually it is an old program that doesn't expect an extra new version
[09:40] <datil> stefg, i say it cause default graphical install did a 3GB swap partition.. and i also want to make a separate home partition for storing my data.. i don't know if gnome/ubuntu will be affected if i put in a home partition
[09:40] <mnoir> christopher: that looks right
[09:41] <christopher> thanks
[09:41] <mnoir> christopher: you may want to check your sudoers file
[09:41] <Scunizi> superkirbyartist:  Did you already register on their site?  If so your user name and password are case sensitive.
[09:41] <genius314> Scunizi: What does Ctrl-Alt-Backspace do, exactly? I know it restarts X, but it doesn't seem to do anything when I do it.
[09:41] <christopher> mnoir, where is that?
[09:41] <faLUCE> foobarian: I see, but a solution must be somewhere
[09:41] <mnoir> christopher: /etc , which is the answer for almost all valuable files :)
[09:41] <superkirbyartist> All right!  It works when I replace phone number by username!
[09:42] <superkirbyartist> Thank you!
[09:42] <alexis_> foobarian: I can get it to display the size with 'du -b *' but it's only in the terminal...
[09:42] <foobarian> faLUCE: some programs don't regenerate everything using distro's autoconf, but come with their own configure scripts, etc.
[09:42] <Scunizi> genius314:  It mearly restarts the X server which is your graphical display.  It doesn't restart the whole machine.  Not quite like CTRL-ALT-Delete
[09:42] <sinizzl> KEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKE
[09:42] <kcinna> What's some good free software for creating a video dvd? I notice gnomebaker can create a data dvd, but itdoesnt say anything about video.
[09:42] <foobarian> faLUCE: have you regenerated them?
[09:42] <superkirbyartist> Now I can call people and people for free!
[09:42] <stefg> datil: 3GB swap is stupid... except you use tmpfs and compile large stuff in /tmp... having home separate is a common scenario, but i think you'll have to do manual partitioning then
[09:42] <sinizzl> anyone got experience with gamepads/joystickz0r3ez under linux?
[09:42] <foobarian> alexis_, I don't know of a graphical version, sorry
[09:42] <Scunizi> superkirbyartist:  Is it working now?
[09:42] <jwalanta> hello all, does the resolution depend totally upon monitor or on video card too??
[09:42] <Samuel_> #mepis-it
[09:42] <arrenlex> jwalanta: The resolution depends on your settings. o_O
[09:43] <foobarian> jwalanta, both
[09:43] <alexis_> foobarian: ok, thanks for your help
[09:43] <iloveubunut> madman - http://www.debianadmin.com/backup-and-restore-your-ubuntu-system-using-sbackup.html
[09:43] <foobarian> alexis_, np
[09:43] <alexis_> n2diy: thanks for your help
[09:43] <faLUCE> foobarian: i use the program conf script
[09:43] <jwalanta> i  have a pentium i computer, is it possible that it supports no more than 640x480
[09:43] <jbroome> entirely possible
[09:43] <n2diy> alexis_: nada
[09:43] <MystaMax> why does my text look lik this " may be never, always, or auto
[09:43] <MystaMax> ..." when i run man COMMAND from the CLI??
[09:43] <datil> stefg, indeed it's stupid.. i don't know what the installer was thinking with 3GB; i don't know what home is actually used for, i just want to separate the ubuntu system/files with my documents/pictures, etc, i don't know if creating the /home partition is appropiate for that
[09:44] <arrenlex> MystaMax: Because of encoding problems.
[09:44] <lukus001> Does anyone know of a real time packet editor?
[09:44] <stefg> datil, you fully understood the concept
[09:44] <evolution_> im having a problem with ubuntu reconsising my mouse
[09:44] <evolution_> every so often i cant move my mouse
[09:44] <jbroome> datil: it is.  all your stuff goes into /home/
[09:44] <MystaMax> arrenlex, thx for the response, can it be fixed?
[09:44] <foobarian> faLUCE, maybe try recreating it? 'aclocal && autoheader && automake -a  && automake && autoconf'
[09:44] <evolution_> so i unpulg the mouse and plug it in then it works for a bit
[09:44] <faLUCE> foobarian: ok.
[09:45] <faLUCE> i'll do it with kdevelop
[09:45] <evolution_> how would i fix it
[09:46] <malt> yo, how do i backup user directorys in home by taring them without saving the hidden files?
[09:46] <datil> jbroome, i guess with just a few apps installed 25GB for the entire / is enough, a clean install now and it's using barely 2GB
[09:46] <slacker_nl> malt: --exclude-files
[09:46] <madman91> iloveubunut: i want entire system
[09:47] <slacker_nl> malt: but look in man tar for the precize syntax
[09:47] <iloveubunut> madman - http://www.debianadmin.com/backup-and-restore-your-ubuntu-system-using-sbackup.html
[09:47] <stefg> datil, my standard setup is like having 5-10 GB for / (root) , 512mB swap, and the rest as /home, possibly some more partitions for special purposes ... vmware machines or audio/video (best on xfs) come to mind
[09:47] <michelp> is there an easy way to tell if my amd64 machine is running the 64 or 32 bit version?
[09:47] <Scunizi> genius314:  Does it work now?
[09:48] <malt> slacker_nl: example?
[09:48] <gnufied> one quick question, ruby 1.8.5p2 is there in official dapper repos?
[09:48] <n2diy> iloveubunut: have you used sbackup?
[09:48] <evolution_> i'm having a problem with ubuntu reconising my mouse, every so often i cant move my mouse so i unpulg the mouse and plug it in then it works for a bit how would i fix it?
[09:48] <datil> stefg, what you mean audio/video, for storing your music and so on?
[09:48] <genius314> Scunizi: Nope. Oh, and I found out why Ctrl-Alt-BackSpace wasn't working - it was the wrong Ctrl and Alt.
[09:48] <slacker_nl> malt: tar --exclude-file .bla zcvf bla.tgx /tmp
[09:48] <Music_Shuffle> ...what?
[09:48] <Music_Shuffle> I can do it with any ctrl or alt. >.>
[09:49] <malt> slacker_nl: there is many hidden files though
[09:49] <madman91> iloveubunut: wow .. looks good
[09:49] <stefg> datil, yes all the non-compressible stuff like mp3, avi, mpg
[09:49] <iloveubunut> n2diy - nope but it looks good
[09:49] <madman91> iloveubunut: thanks
[09:49] <faLUCE> foobarian: it doesn't work
[09:49] <iloveubunut> madman - not a problem. good luck
[09:49] <slacker_nl> malt: excludefile accepts regexps
[09:49] <madman91> iloveubunut: you know that you can press TAB when writing a nickname .. and it will finish the nickname for you?
[09:49] <slacker_nl> malt: or an input file
[09:49] <genius314> ...or maybe it was just because I was doing it in the order Alt-Ctrl-Backspace?
[09:50] <datil> stefg, uhm.. actually that's where i was planning to store that kind of files (mp3, videos), in /home.. should i separate those from /home? and that xfs thing?
[09:50] <iloveubunut> n2diy - I really only use tar and commercial stuff
[09:50] <n2diy> iloveubunut: I tried it, but it didn't give feedback about the progress of the restore, I'm looking over that url, maybe it is fixed now?
[09:51] <iloveubunut> n2diy - veritas netbackup mostly
[09:51] <stefg> datil: actually it's fine to have all your stuff together on /home ... you can have more advanced partiton layouts if you feel like it, but the KISS approach is valid, of course
[09:51] <Shadowfax> can ubuntu be installed on a sparcstation ipx?
[09:51] <Scunizi> genius314:  accept the invite and we'll be able to share the xorg config files.
[09:51] <rambo3> !sparc
[09:51] <ubotu> Have a look here for Docs http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/install/sparc/ KnownIssues and TODO are on the wiki.
[09:51] <genius314> Scunizi: I don't think I can... I'm using Gaim.
[09:52] <iloveubunut> Shadowfax, wow you got a piece of history. those little toaster boxes
[09:52] <n2diy> iloveubunut: roger that.
[09:52] <Scunizi> genius314:  ok.. xchat has that feature..  Do you know the address to Pastebin?
[09:52] <genius314> Scunizi: Yeah.
[09:53] <Siv0x> I need help installing automatix for v6.06 by accident i installed the wrong automatix version.. but i already removed it.
[09:53] <Music_Shuffle> !automatix
[09:53] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[09:53] <Scunizi> gnius314:  Well.... would you enlighten me?
[09:53] <datil> stefg, i see that xfs is another kind of FS.. i'm wondering if i should consider it over ext3.. is it similar to solaris's zfs?
[09:53] <michael20la> i have [ * * * * * echo "this is a test" ]  string in my root crontab file. but it won't execute. ideas?

[09:53] <ubotu> To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in the terminal: "blkid" (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[09:53] <willys_fueguino> I need help with a bootscript... here is it: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39188/
[09:53] <foobarian> faLUCE, i would try another small qt program known to work to see if it fails the same way
[09:53] <pike_> datil: i really only use it for my /tmp
[09:53] <crimsun> datil: ZFS is an entirely different beast from either XFS or ext3.
[09:53] <Kalli> Emh... is it possible to play games if I use ubuntu... I mean Eve online, counter-strike and stuff like that
[09:54] <corin> Kalli: look at wine, it might be able to help
[09:54] <faLUCE> foobarian: solved. i configured it with --with-qt-dir=/usr/share/qt3
[09:54] <Kalli> thanks
[09:54] <stefg> datil: only if you have a /good/ reason not to use the default (ext3). xfs is good with video-editing, but a bit dangerous because it writes real late....

[10:02] <Theodor> Hey, I'm trying to download an update for my graphic card, which is ATI x600. I'm presented with 2 versions: Xfree and X.org ... which one to download ?
[10:02] <bluefox83> ok, friend o mine needs the use of the dbus daemon from kde..what packages should he install that would get that working?
[10:02] <nnacht> hello, anybody who uses ndiswrapper?
[10:02] <faLUCE> foobarian: let's try
[10:02] <faLUCE> foobarian: ok it works now
[10:02] <lemoniceblock> nnacht: I've used a bit of ndiswrapper
[10:02] <foobarian> cool.
[10:02] <Theodor> Hey, I'm trying to download an update for my graphic card, which is ATI x600. I'm presented with 2 versions: Xfree and X.org ... which one to download ?
[10:03] <crimsun> Theodor: the latter.
[10:03] <Theodor> crimsun, what's the difference?
[10:03] <Theodor> and why the latter?
[10:03] <Lynoure> Theodor: you did not get along with the open source driver for that card?
[10:03] <crimsun> Theodor: Ubuntu hasn't shipped XFree86 since Warty.
[10:03] <nnacht> ok guys, when I try modprobe ndiswrapper, it got the following message: FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko): Invalid argument
[10:03] <pike_> dougsko: hrm

[10:04] <dougsko> pike_: i think im gonna go down for a reboot :/
[10:04] <lemoniceblock> nnacht: um, sorry I've never encountered anything like that so I can't help ^^;;
[10:04] <pike_> dougsko: you wont set any uptime records with that attitude!
[10:04] <nnacht> lemoniceblock: no problem, thanks anyway.
[10:05] <nnacht> Anybody else can help with ndiswrapper?
[10:05] <Theodor> Hey, I'm trying to download an update for my graphic card, which is ATI x600. I'm presented with 2 versions: Xfree and X.org ... which one to download ? and why?
[10:06] <dougsko> pike_: oh man, i dont i know it :( i do have 135 days though on my freebsd machine :)
[10:06] <foobarian> Theodor: X.org, because that's what ubuntu uses now.
[10:06] <lemoniceblock> does anyone know anything about wifi radar?
[10:06] <switchar00> I have a quick question.....
[10:06] <Theodor> Do you have a link to see what's the difference between these 2? I'm just curious.
[10:06] <foobarian> lemoniceblock, some wifi cards have radar detection
[10:06] <jbroome> lemoniceblock: you wanna narrow it down a little?
[10:07] <switchar00> when editing a config file does it matter where you add text?
[10:07] <lemoniceblock> foobarian/jbroome: I managed to use ndiswrapper to get my linksys card working
[10:07] <waseem> does anyone know a good flv player?
[10:07] <foobarian> Theodor, Xfree is older... google them for info on philosophical differences
[10:07] <switchar00> when editing a config file does it matter where you add text?
[10:07] <lemoniceblock> foobarian/jbroome: but when I ran iwlist scan it said that no access points found
[10:07] <lemoniceblock> foobarian/jbroome: until I installed wifi-radar
[10:08] <lemoniceblock> foobarian/jbroome: now it lists the access points but when I try to connect, it says unable to resolve ip
[10:08] <lemoniceblock> foobarian/jbroome: oops, I meant 'could not get IP address'
[10:08] <foobarian> lemoniceblock, ah, that wifi-radar... sorry, never used it
[10:08] <switchar00> when editing a config file does it matter where you add text?

[10:09] <switchar00> on what?

[10:10] <foobarian> lemoniceblock, the open ones might not offer dhcp... i guess i would try them in windows first
[10:10] <harrisony1> switchar00, what file are you editing
[10:10] <n2diy> daedra: #ubuntu-offtopic, or something like that.
[10:10] <gRaCiOsO> i have a question about qemu if i give ram memory for my other os "windoze" when im gonna install it am i gonna have less memory for my first os "ubuntu" ?
[10:10] <baikonur> how do I have to mount a partition so that I can write on it directly as a normal user?
[10:10] <Lynoure> daedra: Up to you which of those you consider "general"
[10:10] <foobarian> lemoniceblock, if they work then you know it's you
[10:10] <erUSUL> waseem: mplayer and xine works as good as you can get with flv files (no seek)
[10:10] <switchar00> /etc/privoxy/config
[10:10] <harrisony1> baikonur, what filesystem
[10:10] <daedra> also, how do you change mixer volume from terminal?
[10:10] <lemoniceblock> foobarian: yep, I'm pretty sure they both work on windows
[10:10] <foobarian> daedra, alsamixer
[10:11] <harrisony1> errr mind just putting it into a paste bin and add down the bottem what you have to add
[10:11] <arrenlex> daedra: alsamixer
[10:11] <switchar00> Ill go to the OT room I guess thatnks though
[10:11] <gean> hi!
[10:11] <switchar00> thanks harris
[10:11] <baikonur> harrisony1: ext3
[10:11] <gean> which package gives me the executable [alsaconf]  ? (i miss it, and the sound..)
[10:12] <foobarian> lemoniceblock, maybe wifiradar fubared something... does iwconfig show that the interface is in managed mode?
[10:12] <arrenlex> gean: http://arrenlex.diff.be/alsaconf
[10:12] <lemoniceblock> foobarian: I'll check it out, thanx ^^
[10:12] <baikonur> harrisony1: I have rw,user,noauto as options in /etc/fstab
[10:12] <harrisony1> baikonur, so you want to mout a partition read & write for all users
[10:12] <arrenlex> gean: The package was in debian. Ubuntu's doesn't have it.
[10:12] <faLUCE> foobarian: now, during make, i have this problem X11/extensions/scrnsaver.h: No such file or directory
[10:12] <baikonur> harrisony1: yeah, is this is bad thing to do?
[10:12] <foobarian> faLUCE, sounds like you're missing some X11 -dev files...
[10:12] <foobarian> faLUCE, is this on edgy?
[10:12] <harrisony1> i dont see why it would be bad

[10:13] <nova> khbkjbk
[10:13] <Theodor> Any of you know where I can find the files heirarchy for Ubuntu?
[10:13] <foobarian> daedra, if you need a totally scriptable method, use amixer
[10:13] <faLUCE> foobarian: yes: edgy (i have installed libx11-dev
[10:13] <faLUCE> )
[10:13] <vulcanius> Hey all, at the moment I have my xorg.conf set up for two nvidia cards (2 DVI each, 4 monitors) with two "Screens" each using Twinview. The setup works just fine but I'd like to be able to combine them into one screen so toolbars flow across all 4 monitors instead of just 2. Is this possible?
[10:13] <lemoniceblock> foobarian: yes I think it says managed, but tbh I'm new to Linux so I don't really get what all of it says
[10:13] <Siv0x> yo
[10:13] <ignacio> hello
[10:14] <daedra> foobarian: I like alsamixer anyway :) thanks
[10:14] <foobarian> faLUCE: i'm speechless :) which program are you compiling?
[10:14] <arrenlex> faLUCE: apt-get install x-dev
[10:14] <Siv0x> How do i get my sound drivers.. for an audigy 2 zs
[10:14] <crimsun> Siv0x: they're included.
[10:14] <harrisony1> baikonur, make a direcory as root were you the files and then just just give that folder read write for everyone and do that in fstab as well
[10:14] <faLUCE> foobarian: it's a bad written program... i know
[10:14] <Siv0x> Then why do i not have sound?
[10:14] <lemoniceblock> foobarian: I've got it pasted here though: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39213/
[10:14] <reiki> anyone know WHERE the UUID for a specific file system is stored IN that file system? For instance.... where on /dev/hda1 is the UUID for that device stored?
[10:14] <crimsun> Siv0x: do you have multiple sound devices?
[10:14] <gean> arrenlex thanks, i lost sound and this was a way i got it back for a longer time... i'll try the link
[10:14] <nova> apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[10:15] <crimsun> Siv0x: e.g., onboard and audigy 2 zs
[10:15] <foobarian> lemoniceblock, do ifconfig wlan0 up and re-paste that output
[10:15] <gdiebel> can I use monitor mode on a intel 3945 wireless chipset?
[10:15] <nova> apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[10:15] <harrisony1> try sudo aptitude kubuntu-desktop
[10:15] <lemoniceblock> foobarian: sorry, it says SIOCSIFFLAGS: Permission denied
[10:15] <harrisony1> makes it easier when uninstalling
[10:16] <Siv0x> No i dont have multiple sound devices
[10:16] <crimsun> Siv0x: pastebin your ``amixer'' output.
[10:16] <faLUCE> arrenlex: it doesn't work even with x-dev
[10:16] <alienseer23> Q; if I bought a new 5.1 speaker system, have a sb live 24 bit card which supports multichannel sound, & did a bit of tinkering which is supposed to make the 5.1 work, but did not, how would I go about 'resetting' alsa to it's original state (other than manually undoing all of my changes), and getting alsa to reconfigure and redect the hardware it is supporting?
[10:16] <arrenlex> faLUCE: Well that's annoying. Sorry. = /
[10:16] <crimsun> alienseer23: what did you tinker?
[10:17] <Siv0x> anything else crimsun?
[10:17] <vulcanius> Siv0x: have you checked and made sure nothing is muted and all of the volumes are turned up?
[10:17] <Siv0x> Ofcourse...
[10:17] <crimsun> Siv0x: I asked you for output; have you pastebinned it?
[10:17] <arrenlex> faLUCE: You could use the second box on packages.ubuntu.com to search for that scrnsaver.h file or whatever it was, and install that package, if it exists.
[10:17] <arrenlex> faLUCE: Good luck...
[10:17] <foobarian> lemoniceblock, use sudo
[10:17] <alienseer23> crimsun: nothing too major, just the ~.asoundrc file and the rc.local file
[10:18] <Siv0x> pastebinned it? what?
[10:18] <crimsun> Siv0x: see the topic.
[10:18] <lemoniceblock> foobarian: kk, sry I'm a newbie ^^;;
[10:18] <genius314> Anyone have problems running Beep Media Player?
[10:18] <crimsun> Siv0x: I gave you command; paste the output from that command onto the paste Web site mentioned in the topic.
[10:18] <crimsun> a command, rather
[10:18] <crimsun> alienseer23: pastebin your ~/.asoundrc
[10:18] <crimsun> alienseer23: and your ``lspci -nv''
[10:18] <haary> hello
[10:19] <Siv0x> K.

[10:20] <ifsilver> How I install SSL to the GFTP Client? Exists a good wiki ?
[10:20] <nova> i moed it to firefox/plugins
[10:20] <harrisony1> it should be a .so  or .ko
[10:20] <nova> yeah it so sorry
[10:20] <crimsun> harrisony1: / nova: no, use the flashplugin-nonfree package from -backports, please.
[10:20] <nova> i moed it to the firefox/plugins
[10:21] <nova> is that wrong?
[10:21] <curs0r> how do i deny internet access to a local program?
[10:21] <alienseer23> crimsun: here is asoundrc  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39214/
[10:21] <sinizzl> curs0r: that's an interesting question
[10:21] <curs0r> like keep it from accessing the internet
[10:21] <sinizzl> keke
[10:21] <harrisony1> its not wrong but its easier to go with installing the package
[10:21] <crimsun> nova: wait, are you aware of what you need to do for amd64?
[10:21] <foobarian> lemoniceblock, no output from 'iwconfig'?
[10:21] <nova> im aware of copy and paste
[10:21] <nova> and i pasted the damn so in firefox/plugins
[10:21] <crimsun> nova: you need a 32-bit firefox, 32-bit alsa libs, and the flash plugin
[10:22] <nova> omg, well link me
[10:22] <crimsun> search the wiki.
[10:22] <lemoniceblock> foobarian: I get http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39216/ from iwconfig
[10:22] <curs0r> i want cedega to stay offline because steam crashes when it updates for some reason
[10:22] <vulcanius> actually crimsun you can use flash with the 64 bit firefox
[10:22] <mojojojo__> crimsun, what distro do you have?
[10:23] <curs0r> the cedega people don'tseem toknow how
[10:23] <alienseer23> crimsun: here is the lspci -nv http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39218/
[10:23] <crimsun> vulcanius: sure, if you have the other components I listed.
[10:23] <harrisony1> nova, people are helping you dont get aggressive

[10:23] <nova> lol
[10:23] <nova> sorry
[10:23] <kmasta> can some one help me upgrade to the new fglrx drivers for my ATI card
[10:23] <genius314> Scunizi: Still there?
[10:23] <foobarian> lemoniceblock, you're right, it's not associating... could be a driver problem? what card is it ?
[10:24] <mojojojo__> crimsun, I wanted to ask you about alsa... I upgraded to edgy yesterday and now it doesn't wor... Firefox as welll
[10:24] <vulcanius> nova: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1174435
[10:24] <crimsun> mojojojo__: please be more precise (and concise)
[10:24] <lemoniceblock> foobarian: it's a linksys wpc54g ver.4
[10:24] <nova> thank you
[10:24] <vulcanius> np
[10:25] <lemoniceblock> foobarian: when I type ndiswrapper -l, it says everything's working OK
[10:25] <crimsun> alienseer23: your asoundrc is fairly useless
[10:25] <firepol> hi there, did somebody of you install openoffice 2.1? i did it following this guide: http://bodmas.org/blog/?p=523 it works but... the save dialog is different. i mean if i have a usb stick on the desktop, openoffice doesnt see it, i have to browse under /media
[10:25] <crimsun> alienseer23: unless you override pcm.!default {}, that routing does not take effect
[10:25] <alienseer23> crimsun: I followed some tutorial
[10:25] <mojojojo__> crimsun, OSS works but ALSA doesn't
[10:25] <mojojojo__> crimsun, after upgrade to edgy
[10:25] <crimsun> mojojojo__: please be more precise. Do you mean oss/free or alsa's oss emulation?
[10:26] <alienseer23> crimsun: how do I do this?
[10:26] <firepol> harrysony, remember my questzions about the netboot image? check my blog post under http://www.pbworks.net/wp ...
[10:26] <crimsun> alienseer23: first, did you test plug:surround51 with a 6-channel pcm file?
[10:26] <alienseer23> ... no
[10:26] <crimsun> alienseer23: there's no need to go through contortions to create an asoundrc for your sound device.
[10:26] <vulcanius> alienseer23: what crimson means is try running mplayer or aplay with a file.... ie
[10:27] <Siv0x> Okay i still cant figure out how to get sound.. again i have a sound blaster audigy 2 zs.
[10:27] <foobarian> lemoniceblock, unfortunately i don't have experience with ndiswrapper... i guess i would suggest to remove wifi-radar and try getting things running with ndiswrapper alone
[10:27] <vulcanius> mplayer <song> -ao alsa:device=hw=0.0
[10:27] <mojojojo__> crimsun, oss/free... alsa's oss emulation isn't installed at all
[10:28] <slacker_nl> all
[10:28] <lemoniceblock> foobarian: ok, thanks, I'll try messing with ndiswrapper a bit more
[10:28] <slacker_nl> is there  way to see all the devices my pc has via cli?
[10:28] <slacker_nl> i have a pc with some exotic soundcard

[10:29] <foobarian> faLUCE, it seems you need x11proto-scrnsaver-dev
[10:29] <vulcanius> alienseer23: sometimes you may need to use "mplayer <song> -ao alsa:device=plughw=0.0
[10:29] <slacker_nl> pike_: to no avail
[10:29] <slacker_nl> pike_: it does not detect it, and with the device manager itdoes not even display a vendor or device id
[10:29] <faLUCE> foobarian: yes, other people suggested it too
[10:29] <relbs> is there a recommended GUI application for burning ISO images to CDs?
[10:30] <faLUCE> foobarian: ok, it works
[10:30] <pike_> slacker_nl: tear that case open!
[10:30] <crimsun> Siv0x: I asked you for information. Did you provide me with a link to it?
[10:30] <slacker_nl> relbs: I use k3b
[10:30] <vulcanius> slacker_nl: do you have onboard sound?
[10:30] <reiki> relbs: I use gnomebaker
[10:30] <harrisony1> relbs, go places>cd burner
[10:30] <Siv0x> dude a link to what?
[10:30] <foobarian> faLUCE, what is it, some kind of movie player?
[10:30] <crimsun> mojojojo__: which driver? Why do I have to prod you to provide this information?
[10:30] <slacker_nl> pike_: i would love too (its already open, but I wanna go home and proceed from there)
[10:30] <relbs> ok, thanks for the suggestions
[10:30] <Siv0x> I'm new.. sorry - everything is so confusing =\
[10:30] <crimsun> Siv0x: have you not been paying attention at all?
[10:30] <faLUCE> foobarian: LOL :). it's a chat client, badly compiled:)
[10:30] <Siv0x> yeah i have.
[10:30] <vulcanius> Siv0x: what problem are you having?
[10:31] <Siv0x> No sound..
[10:31] <slacker_nl> vulcanius: yeah, onboard of soem old dell dekstop
[10:31] <pike_> slacker_nl: seriously though a sblive card is like 29 dollars.. just depends how much you want to fool with it
[10:31] <crimsun> Siv0x: 16:16 < crimsun> Siv0x: pastebin your ``amixer'' output.
[10:31] <robtp> hi, im having a problem with my keys I could use some help with
[10:31] <slacker_nl> its not my pc

[10:31] <vulcanius> Siv0x: what type of motherboard do you have? and you said you have an audigy sound card?
[10:31] <psyoptik> does anyone know about a bug regarding the startup programs section under sessions? Everytime I add something to the startup programs list, it doesn't stay there. I close the window, open right back up and same list as before I added anything...any ideas?
[10:31] <robtp> the Function keys dont totally work, can anyone offer anything?
[10:31] <mojojojo__> crimsun, well, maybe because I'm not experienced enough to know which information is relevant
[10:31] <_berGi> hey
[10:32] <_berGi> i was trying to configure my asoundrc. as to work with a 5.1 sound system
[10:32] <Scunizi> How do I recall the topic line?
[10:32] <_berGi> but it didnt work for some reason
[10:32] <genius314> Does anyone else know how to configure a Wacom tablet?
[10:32] <slacker_nl> pike_: I already spent like 8 hrs on this machine only to get ubuntu installed.. I just want to have sound :(
[10:32] <crimsun> good lord, why do people do random crap to their sound systems and then complain when it doesn't work?
[10:32] <lemoniceblock> Thanks for the help all, have a nice day! :)
[10:32] <Siv0x> Vulcanius, I have a audigy 2 zs sound card and i'm not even sure what type of motherboard i have.. lol
[10:32] <Scunizi> nevermind.. saw it a couple lines above my post
[10:32] <pike_> slacker_nl: other than googl'n the motherboard model or checking in bios..
[10:32] <vulcanius> genius314: give this a shot
[10:32] <crimsun> Siv0x: ok, small steps. pastebin your ``amixer'' output, then tell me the URL.

[10:32] <animal> Hi I'm a Kubuntu user and I just installed the ubuntu-dekstop package, can anyone tell me how to get GDM as my login manager?
[10:33] <slacker> I am new to Linux. What is the best app to use for launching a bin file?
[10:33] <robtp> animal: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[10:33] <Siv0x> type that in console?
[10:33] <crimsun> mojojojo__: ...so which driver are you using?
[10:33] <foobarian> slacker, use mplayer
[10:33] <genius314> vulcanius: Thanks.
[10:33] <animal> Ah thanks robtp
[10:33] <harrisony1> kde reminds me of windows arghhh
[10:33] <slacker> thanks
[10:33] <slacker_nl> foobarian: and mplayer will detect my soundcard?
[10:33] <apokryphos> harrisony1: so change the way it looks
[10:33] <animal> I like Windows, but I prefer Linux ^^
[10:34] <animal> Personally I see no reason to bash it
[10:34] <foobarian> slacker_nl, no, i was talking to the other slacker ;)
[10:34] <slacker_nl> hehehe
[10:34] <slacker_nl> foobarian: sorry for that
[10:34] <vulcanius> Siv0x: please pastebin your "amixer", "aplay -l" and "aplay -L" and post the link here
[10:34] <slacker_nl> did not notice it :)
[10:34] <harrisony1> apokryphos, i would but still that K Menu, the only think that makes me like it is amarok
[10:34] <psyoptik> anyone know anything about problems with the startup programs section in the Sessions manager? I can't seem to add anything that actually starts there to startup.
[10:34] <slacker> Am curious, what is the most popular distro?
[10:34] <daedra> animal: windows has its advantages - in gaming for example, but this is only because of vendors being locked into Direct X
[10:34] <apokryphos> harrisony1: and again, so change the k menu.
[10:35] <mnoir> slacker: you mean in this channel?
[10:35] <foobarian> slacker_nl, have you checked output of 'lspci' yet?
[10:35] <vulcanius> slacker: at the moment most would say ubuntu due to the major press coverage it's received

[10:36] <faLUCE> the next problem :)):  /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXss
[10:36] <genius314> vulcanius: I don't think that's what I'm looking for. All I need to know is why my scroll wheel makes things scroll in the opposite direction.
[10:36] <slacker> I had tried Suse but could never get it to run, am using Ubuntu and seems to work better than MS.  Probably any distro out there is better than MS
[10:36] <eMail> help please
[10:36] <alienseer23> crimsun: ok, not working, i will be back later...thanks for your help
[10:36] <crimsun> faLUCE: install libxss-dev.
[10:36] <foobarian> slacker_nl, that's weird... is it a PCI card? i missed that part of the conversation
[10:36] <vulcanius> genius314: lol, i thought you needed to know how to install it entirely
[10:37] <slacker_nl> its an onoard thingy
[10:37] <slacker_nl> i made a screenshot
[10:37] <slacker_nl> leaving for home
[10:37] <genius314> vulcanius: No. Well, I guess I was a little vague with that question.
[10:37] <slacker_nl> smoke a green one and I will hit my bed
[10:37] <faLUCE> crimsun: thnks
[10:37] <slacker_nl> thnx for the help

[10:37] <harrisony1> slacker, ubuntu is a good distro its a tame cat but when you got beryl and some other l33t stuff :D
[10:37] <slacker_nl> both did not see the soundcard
[10:38] <M0E^lnx> I just installed ubuntu, and I got no sound... someone help me
[10:38] <foobarian> slacker_nl either it's ISA or it's not enabled in BIOS... hm
[10:38] <crimsun> M0E^lnx: what hardware do you have? (I mean sound)
[10:38] <slacker_nl> mmmm, good one
[10:38] <slacker_nl> will check in a minutre
[10:38] <stefg> !sound | M0E^lnx
[10:38] <ubotu> M0E^lnx: 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 that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin
[10:38] <mojojojo__> crimsun, /dev/sndstat show Installed drivers:
[10:38] <mojojojo__> Type 10: ALSA emulation
[10:38] <mojojojo__> ... I'm not it's this information
[10:38] <slacker_nl> first things first
[10:38] <slacker> harrisony1, thanks
[10:38] <M0E^lnx> crimsun: intel
[10:38] <crimsun> slacker_nl: it'd help if you told us which sound hardware you use
[10:38] <kcinna> for some reason, gnomebaker can't create a proper dvd from an iso, even though this iso plays fine if i mount it
[10:38] <crimsun> M0E^lnx: more precise, please.
[10:39] <kcinna> is there some better software for this purpose?
[10:39] <crimsun> mojojojo__: no, which sound driver are you using -right now-?
[10:39] <slacker_nl> crimsun: I will tell you
[10:39] <Siv0x> Okay i pasted it..
[10:39] <crimsun> mojojojo__: meaning, i810_audio? snd-intel8x0? snd-hda-intel?
[10:39] <M0E^lnx> crimsun: alsamixer shows a hda Intel card and a chip : Realtek ALC883
[10:39] <slacker_nl> once I get home and some sleep
[10:39] <pike_> kcinna: k3b is imo much better than gnomebaker
[10:39] <crimsun> M0E^lnx: you need a newer version of alsa than what's included in 6.06 or 6.10.
[10:39] <slacker_nl> crimsun: I only needed the hw info for now from ubuntu
[10:40] <genius314> vulcanius: Thanks. Exactly what I was looking for.
[10:40] <slacker_nl> and go from there
[10:40] <crimsun> M0E^lnx: essentially you need to compile alsa-driver 1.0.13 from http://www.alsa-project.org
[10:40] <stefg> kcinna: i'd recommend k3b, even if if you have to get the KDE-libs for that
[10:41] <psyoptik> does anyone know why it take so long for nautilus to start after doing "sudo nautilus". take 2 mins or more to start.
[10:41] <kcinna> pike_ and stefg, i'll try k3b, thanks guys!
[10:41] <Scunizi> psyoptik, try gksudo nautilus
[10:41] <mojojojo__> crimsun, snd_pcm
[10:42] <cody_> Can anyone recommend a good itunes replacement?
[10:42] <eilker> !k3b
[10:42] <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
[10:42] <Siv0x> Crimsun, i pastebinned it.. now what?
[10:42] <stefg> !iTunes
[10:42] <ubotu> itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee
[10:42] <crimsun> Siv0x: tell me the url
[10:43] <harrisony1> cody_, try amarok
[10:43] <crimsun> mojojojo__: no, that's not the driver.
[10:43] <harrisony1> !amarok
[10:43] <ubotu> Amarok is an audio player for Linux with an intuitive interface. The latest version is 1.4.3 for Dapper and 1.4.4 for Edgy and packages are  available for Kubuntu at www.kubuntu.org See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Amarok
[10:43] <crimsun> mojojojo__: pastebin ``cat /proc/asound/modules && amixer''

[10:43] <crimsun> Siv0x: thanks.
[10:44] <crimsun> Siv0x: no, that's not what we're looking for.
[10:44] <Siv0x> crimsun: np - i would have done it alot sooner if i would have known how to do it lol.
[10:44] <psyoptik> when I type "gksudo nautilus" from the command line I get this error and still takes a long time. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39224/
[10:44] <crimsun> Siv0x: we want the output from those commands.
[10:44] <Siv0x> So i enter those commands in konsole..
[10:44] <Siv0x> and then paste you what it says?
[10:45] <kmasta> how do I update my fglrx drivers to the latest version?
[10:45] <Scunizi> psyoptik, I get the same error but mine will load in seconds.  I'm on Dapper.  Sorry can't help more.
[10:45] <crimsun> Siv0x: onto that paste Web site, yes

[10:46] <malt> how can i back the /home/ directory in linux and have it to tar each sub folder?

[10:47] <mnoir> deepsa: you are far enough along to discuss in #apache
[10:47] <pike_>  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39224/
[10:47] <stefg> AnRkey: look at edubuntu, might be easier
[10:48] <M0E^lnx> crimsun: what do I need from the alsa project? just the alsa-driver tarball?
[10:48] <deepsa> mnoir: please help dude
[10:48] <crimsun> M0E^lnx: only alsa-driver.

[10:51] <defiant> harrisony1, Thank you very much
[10:51] <harrisony1> defiant, edgy or dapper
[10:52] <eegore> Works fine in 32 bit but the apps are 32 and had to be installed with the linux32 command
[10:52] <defiant> harrisony1, I really do not know. I installed Kubunu 64 bit
[10:52] <pike_> eegore: there is a micboost in alsamixer. i know this was discussed in the forums not 64 specific but probably same problem.
[10:52] <harrisony1> errr ok well did you get fro, shipit or download and burn, and can i ask what made you choose kde (kubuntu) over gnome (ubuntu)
[10:53] <eegore> It is already on
[10:53] <grnwood> kmasta - do you have xorg-driver-fglrx instlaled?
[10:53] <kmasta> grnwood, i think so. how can i tell?
[10:53] <defiant> I downloaded the ISO and I chose KDE over gnome cause the person that I know that helps me said that it is much better.
[10:54] <grnwood> kmasta -  dpkg -l xorg-driver-fglrx
[10:54] <vulcanius> defiant: KDE is typically better for those who want more eyecandy and who have better performance systems.
[10:54] <vulcanius> defiant: GNOME is a more simple, faster desktop but it lacks some of the cool features KDE packs
[10:54] <defiant> vulcanius, yes that is why he told me to get it
[10:54] <harrisony1> defiant, Did you say you had amd64
[10:54] <kmasta> grnwood, it says command not found
[10:54] <defiant> harrisony1, yes
[10:54] <crimsun> Siv0x: amixer set 'External Amplifier' off
[10:55] <cntb> kde is more usable period
[10:55] <kmasta> grnwood, no wait
[10:55] <cntb> I wish gnome listened more to users
[10:55] <vulcanius> cntb: that's all a matter of opinion so don't start
[10:55] <Siv0x> crimsun: and that will fix it?
[10:55] <daishadar> has anyone successfully gotten an amd64 desktop install working? anytime i select something from the boot menu i get a ubuntu logo that's grayed out
[10:55] <cntb> exactly vulcanius my opinion
[10:55] <kmasta> grnwood, it says Status=Not/Installe/Config-firles/Unpacked
[10:55] <harrisony1> !democracyplayer  | defiant
[10:55] <ubotu> democracyplayer: GTK+ based RSS video aggregator. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.4.1-1 (edgy), package size 480 kB, installed size 2984 kB
[10:55] <cntb> opinions matter
[10:56] <vulcanius> cntb: so take it in private, not here
[10:56] <defiant> harrisony1, ok so that is the best one
[10:56] <pengulord> whats the min specs for ubuntu
[10:56] <kmasta> grnwood, but it shows i'm using 7.1.0-8.28.8for my ATI driver so thats
[10:56] <crimsun> Siv0x: can't tell for sure until you try it. There will likely be additional steps.
[10:56] <harrisony1> defiant, yeah from what i can see
[10:56] <kmasta> grnwood, do you know how I can get the latest fglrx driver?
[10:56] <harrisony1> http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/pculture.org/democracy/linux/ubuntu/democracyplayer_0.9.2.1-1ubuntupcf_amd64.deb
[10:56] <defiant> harrisony1, Have you ever installed it?
[10:56] <malt> how can i backup the /home/ directory in linux and have it to tar each users folder subfolders?
[10:57] <harrisony1> defiant, no but http://getdemocracy.com/watch look pretty neat
[10:57] <harrisony1> http://www.getdemocracy.com/help/get-started/
[10:57] <grnwood> kmasta .. what version ubuntu?
[10:57] <pengulord> how much ram should i have to run ubuntu
[10:57] <n2diy> malt: right click on the directory, and select archive.
[10:57] <defiant> excellent I will try it now
[10:57] <grnwood> kmasta - usually 'sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx' is just fine.
[10:57] <malt> n2diy: in ssh
[10:57] <Siv0x> crimsun: k let me test this.
[10:57] <vulcanius> pengulord: that depends on what desktop you use
[10:57] <kmasta> grnwood, i'm using edgy
[10:58] <pengulord> most recent
[10:58] <n2diy> malt: nope, locally.
[10:58] <pike_> pengulord: well at least 128 would be a good idea. really 256 and less id say install xubuntu
[10:58] <grnwood> kmasta .. then 'sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx' should be good
[10:58] <malt> n2diy: how do i do that in ssh? like do you know the command?
[10:58] <cntb> gnomebaker failed  on time critical mission to copy edgy install CD
[10:58] <Siv0x> crimsun: still no sound.
[10:58] <n2diy> malt: no I don't.
[10:58] <defiant> harrisony1, I do not think that works with my version of FF

[11:00] <cntb> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? <-- very common.. several install progs can lock
[11:00] <nobitapr> hey
[11:00] <grnwood> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-driver-fglrx
[11:00] <cntb> apt-get aptitude synaptic
[11:00] <kmasta> grnwood, ok done
[11:00] <nobitapr> is password for admin?
[11:01] <mnoir> nobitapr: in what situation?
[11:01] <nobitapr> i cannot logon with admin
[11:01] <grnwood> kmasta - for me ' dpkg --listfiles xorg-driver-fglrx  | grep fglrxinfo'
[11:01] <kmasta> grnwood, oh wait, maybe i have the latest 64 bit drives
[11:01] <eyalw> hi!

[11:01] <grnwood> kmasta ... shows me '/usr/bin/fglrxinfo'
[11:01] <crimsun> Siv0x: ok, next thing to try is: amixer set 'Duplicate Front' on && amixer set 'LFE' 80%,on && amixer set 'Center' on && amixer set 'Surround' 80%,80%,on
[11:02] <kmasta> grnwood, yea that's what it shows me too
[11:02] <pengulord> whats the differnce between ub xub and ect
[11:02] <nobitapr> thanks
[11:02] <mnoir> nobitapr: it helps?

[11:05] <kcinna> pike_ and stefg, the disc burned with k3b won't even mount. the gnomebaker disc mounted but was corrupted
[11:05] <crimsun> M0E^lnx: no, it's not released as stable, and it won't be backported to 6.06 or 6.10.
[11:05] <mnoir> nobitapr: should use your own pswd
[11:05] <kmasta> grnwood, yea i have both those
[11:05] <kmasta> grnwood, could it have anything to do with i'm on 64-bit?
[11:05] <crimsun> M0E^lnx: however, we've already merged it via 2.6.20-rc2 in feisty's kernel.
[11:05] <Skorgu|Work> Anyone know how I could find the configure string that the ubuntu apache2 package uses or an apache 2.2 package for ubuntu?

[11:06] <M0E^lnx> crimsun: my build fails... I need to get it some other way
[11:06] <kcinna> stefg: yeah, i think it's ok. if i mount the image to a directory, i can play that directory with vlc no problem
[11:06] <crimsun> M0E^lnx: where does it fail? Note that you need linux-headers-$(uname -r) installed.
[11:06] <defiant> Does anyone know how to launch the democracy tv player? I installed it but can not find it
[11:06] <grnwood> kmasta ... very well could
[11:07] <grnwood> kmasta ... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39231/ my xorg.conf
[11:07] <pike_> defiant: maybe apropos democracy
[11:07] <grnwood> kmasta maybe that helps .... i have no exp with 64 bit
[11:07] <M0E^lnx> crimsun: i have the headers installed... but make gives me an error

[11:07] <eyalw> I need help from the wise elders on setting up Eclipse CDT to compile the code for me, and generally how to use this beast!
[11:07] <kmasta> grnwood, i have no idea what i'm doing so...

[11:11] <Scunizi> Since Ooo can create PDF forms, when opened in Evince or Document Viewer, neither allow direct entry of data into the form. Can I fix that other than installing Adobe Acrobat?
[11:11] <mnoir> gaten: server does not have x running so how can you vnc to it?

[11:19] <mnoir> nobitapr: i hope it does help :)
[11:19] <ubotu> chrisjw: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type "sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart" in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[11:19] <voraistos> bluebyte_ it might be  AIGLX is activatd... otherwise i dont know :P
[11:19] <M0E^lnx> crimsun: does ubuntu use checkintall to create an "uninstallable package"?
[11:19] <bluebyte_> chrisjw: you can set the resolution by yourself. /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:19] <harrisony1> Aardwolf, it should be the same resoloution as when you log in
[11:19] <crimsun> M0E^lnx: Ubuntu does not use checkinstall.

[11:20] <mnoir> BigToe: have you tried that question in google?
[11:20] <stefg> imbecile: hmmm... actually i think you should get hands-on support... is there a local Linux-User Group in your vincinity? If yu don't have experience with partitioning and stuff, it could result in data loss
[11:20] <bluebyte_> Voraistos: How can i disable AIGLX???
[11:20] <harrisony1> robtp,what you mean

[11:20] <BigToe> clicking #ubuntu is easier than googling
[11:21] <imbecile> stefg, thanks
[11:21] <M0E^lnx> crimsun: and there is no way to package the stuff?
[11:21] <voraistos> BigToe: there is a qt app for that, but i cant remember the name. basically what you need is files < 1024 megs and mpeg2 compression
[11:21] <robtp> harrisony1: i did a pretty length explanation at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1940967#post1940967
[11:21] <BigToe> ok voraistos thanks
[11:21] <harrisony1> robtp, ok will look
[11:21] <Aardwolf> harrisony1, it isn't, the very first graphical screen that comes after ubuntu has booted, it has a very large resolution. My desktop (both KDE and gnome) are 1280*1024 with 85Hz. This login screen is a huge resolution, at 60Hz, but I want it to be 1280*1024 at 85Hz too (especially because my computer froze last time I went back to the login screen just after the monitor changed to that huge resolution). How do I set it to 1280*1240?
[11:21] <robtp> harrisony1: is that harrison, ny?

[11:25] <harrisony1> TC`, as we are al robots you may want to try the ubuntu forums i belive they have the odd  human
[11:25] <imbecile> crimsun, I'm running dapper live cd and my soundcard has only worked once. The reason i need it to work is i found a video to dual boot and i cant hear anything
[11:25] <harrisony1> !wlan | TC`
[11:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wlan - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:25] <crimsun> M0E^lnx: sec, let me retrieve the tarball.
[11:25] <Malachi> How can I make GTK1 look better (cinepaint, etc)
[11:26] <corin_> neighborlee: what apps?
[11:26] <voraistos> bluebyte_ it should be completly supported :)
[11:26] <Plinty> anyone here use anjuta IDE ?
[11:26] <neighborlee> is a menu standard not setup yet ?
[11:26] <Aardwolf> What is the KDE version of the login screen called?
[11:26] <neighborlee> corin, in my case 'kexi'
[11:26] <robtp> Aardwolf: kdm
[11:26] <TC`> !wlan
[11:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wlan - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:26] <pike_> TC`: what questions specifically?
[11:26] <voraistos> bluebyte_ as fglrx is the ATI version of the driver :)
[11:26] <Aardwolf> does kdm have a config file somewhere?
[11:26] <kcinna> pike_: yeah, i'll try that
[11:26] <imbecile> stefg,n2diy, thanks
[11:26] <killown> does anyone have the xbox 360?
[11:26] <neighborlee> corin, edgy btw
[11:26] <voraistos> TC` what do you wanna talk about ?
[11:26] <TC`> i installed ubuntu on laptop, it got mini pci gigabyte card..
[11:26] <Scunizi> Since Ooo can create PDF forms, when opened in Evince or Document Viewer, neither allow direct entry of data into the form. Can I fix that other than installing Adobe Acrobat?
[11:26] <robtp> Aardwolf: yes, im not sure where though i forget
[11:26] <crimsun> imbecile: kinda vague. Is ``aplay /usr/share/sounds/startup.wav'' audible from a Terminal?
[11:27] <Aardwolf> hmm I'll try to find it then...
[11:27] <harrisony1> robtp, can you like close programs with keyboard shortcuts
[11:27] <TC`> someone told that it will run with madwifi drivers, so how to configure?
[11:27] <robtp> harrisony1: such as?
[11:27] <harrisony1> eg Ctrl-Q
[11:27] <corin_> neighborlee, i suppose you could just drop one in to the menu where you want it. under system->prefrences->menu layout
[11:27] <Siv0x> crimsun: okay - i have sound now, :D thanks alot one more question.. how do i switch from gnome desktop to kde?
[11:27] <neighborlee> corin, easily done yes
[11:27] <robtp> harrisony1: right now firefox, gaim and xchat-gnome are runnin
[11:27] <voraistos> TC` what is the card's protocol ?
[11:28] <harrisony1> killown, why?
[11:28] <neighborlee> corin, I was just wondering why the system misses some things and n ot others..my guesss is  making  .deb isnt' standardized enough yet
[11:28] <crimsun> Siv0x: you can install the `kubuntu-desktop' metapackage, then sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm, and choose kdm.
 you can switch at login screen i guess
[11:28] <killown> harrisony1 I want know if game for xbox360 its good
[11:28] <linav> if you have already insalled kde
[11:28] <harrisony1> try /j #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:28] <imbecile> crimsun, no... I know it should work though because it did one time last night
[11:28] <crimsun> M0E^lnx: it definitely exists.
[11:28] <TC`> 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. Unknown device 001c (rev 01)
[11:28] <TC`> 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8055 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 10)
[11:28] <fisheye> who here is bilingual? :)
[11:28] <robt> harrisony1: haha crtl-alt-del isnt task manager
[11:28] <mnoir> neighborlee: .deb is very standard.  but menus are totally distribution based
[11:28] <TC`> b/g
[11:28] <harrisony1> it can be remapped tho
[11:29] <robt> harrisony1: w just xchat, gaim and w/o beryl running they still dont work
[11:29] <crimsun> imbecile: please paste your ``amixer'' output onto the paste Web site noted in the topic.
[11:29] <M0E^lnx> crimsun: so what does that mean?... did I do something wrong during the compile process?
[11:29] <Plinty> anyone here use anjuta IDE ?
[11:29] <n2diy> fisheye: bilingual in what?
[11:29] <crimsun> M0E^lnx: did ``make'' complete successfully?
[11:29] <M0E^lnx> crimsun: yes
[11:29] <dmc_> !beryl
[11:29] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-xgl
[11:29] <crimsun> M0E^lnx: and ``make install-modules'' fails?
[11:29] <Siv0x> crimsun: okay, I've already done this - i selected kdm earlier and its still gnome.
[11:29] <harrisony1> try click on berryl-manager and then go change the window manager to metacity and try
[11:29] <crimsun> Siv0x: but did you choose kde in the session?
[11:29] <neighborlee> mnoir,as standard as ubuntu is becoming i'd think it would be a good thing to settle on some standard so issues like this dont come up.
[11:30] <voraistos> TC` so this is not a wifi card... dunno if its supposed to work with ndis wrapper
[11:30] <robt> harrisony1: im reunning metacity now
[11:30] <neighborlee> mnoir, or is it being worked on do you know
[11:30] <harrisony1> killown, #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:30] <Siv0x> Dont remember.. maybe i didnt :S whats the command to reinstall the package?
[11:30] <mnoir> neighborlee: i agree - i used to go crazy looking for newly installed stuff in the menus :)
[11:30] <robt> Siv0x: apt-get --reinstall install X
[11:30] <harrisony1> robt, close a program (Ctrl-Q) and try F6 with beryl and metacity
[11:30] <pike_> TC`: you could try sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-$(uname-r)
[11:30] <fisheye> bilingual in spoken languages, or writen for that mater
[11:30] <neighborlee> mnoir, hehehe yup
[11:30] <ubuntu> opss
[11:30] <trelayne> So silly me figured out what  perl /usr/share/setup-tool-backends/scripts/network-conf is all about.. it's used to monitor modem activity.. just turned off the bloody feature and all is fine noe
[11:30] <trelayne> now
[11:30] <neighborlee> mnoir, I was like OK where is this dain thing ;)LOL
[11:31] <sn00p> is there any web site so you can go find out which hardware is supported in linux such as media cards, sound cards, etc??
[11:31] <n2diy> fisheye: bilingual in what language?
[11:31] <mnoir> i doubt it is really being addressed - where would you like kde based apps to go if the user is a gnome centric user?
[11:31] <fisheye> i've an art project and need something translated in several languages , smal sentene
[11:31] <Aardwolf> Where does X store the default resolution?
[11:31] <voraistos> TC` however it should already be installed......
[11:31] <robt> harrisony1: they NumLock light comes on in the kbd, but nothing else happens in both metacity and emerald/beryl
[11:31] <corin_> Aardwolf, /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:31] <TC`> madwifi is installed, but i can't see the device in NETWORKING
[11:31] <fisheye> i got portuguese , german , dutch and english , anyone knows anyother?
[11:31] <ProN00b> there any ubuntu packages for google earth ?
[11:31] <TC`> madwifi comes with edgy
[11:31] <Aardwolf> corin_, in xorg.conf I see lots of resolutions, but I don't find in there which of those it actually uses as the default one, where in xorg.conf does it say that?
[11:31] <neighborlee> mnoir, I suppose they could easy enough just put them in appropriate menus
[11:32] <Plinty> Does anyone use anjuta ide for programming?
[11:32] <neighborlee> mnoir, we should not make things more difficult than they are ;l)
[11:32] <harrisony1> Plinty, why?
[11:32] <voraistos> fisheye, what you mean is that youre dutch ?
[11:32] <harrisony1> ProN00b, yes under pfl reps
[11:32] <Siv0x> crimsun: its giving me an error E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
[11:32] <Siv0x> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[11:32] <voraistos> sudo or close synaptic
[11:32] <fisheye> no, i am portuguese
[11:33] <imbecile> what does "failed to create enough space for installation" mean? I can click it a second time and i dont get the error but it just hangs there
[11:33] <Plinty> harrisony1, I can't find where to set which libraries to link with
[11:33] <eMail> hello
[11:33] <harrisony1> eMail, hey
[11:33] <robt> harrisony1: even if i set the keyboard shortcut in keyboard shortcuts (eg. for panel run app dialog) and it sees it as alt-f2, immediately after it still doesnt work
[11:33] <fisheye> n2diy : any languase besides those i staded would be great :)
[11:33] <voraistos> fisheye, wow, dutch is a pretty rare language to learn. congrats :)
[11:33] <eMail> do you know from where i can get skydome images
[11:33] <fisheye> i didint learn it :)
[11:33] <Aardwolf> where in xorg.conf does it say which resolution X uses as default and if not in xorg.conf, then where does it store it?
[11:33] <fisheye> i asked someone to translate :) :)
[11:33] <harrisony1> ProN00b, add this to /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repo/ edgy free non-free
[11:34] <voraistos> fisheye, i talk french :P
[11:34] <n2diy> fisheye: this is a linux forum, not a language forum.
[11:34] <harrisony1> eMail, skydome as in beryl try the beryl forums
[11:34] <sn00p> is there any web site so you can go find out which hardware is supported in linux such as media cards, sound cards, etc??
[11:34] <harrisony1> robt, i have no idea why
[11:34] <voraistos> n2diy: he seems to be looking for translators
[11:34] <harrisony1> sn00p, yes try http://doc.gwos.org
[11:34] <eMail> ok thx
[11:34] <LameBMX> eMail, it would be easier if they had searchin in the beryl forums
[11:34] <rohan> Hey All
[11:34] <corin_> Aardwolf, my guess is it stores in somewhere in the gdm (or kdm) configuration files - /etc/gdm. that's a shot in the dark though, let me look
[11:34] <Boglizk> On my earlier install i had the mplayer plugin for mozilla which worked great, now when i have reinstalled, i have totem - and it doesn't work with WMV. Any suggestions? I cant find the mplayer packages.
[11:34] <n2diy> voraistos: I know.
[11:34] <eMail> ok
[11:34] <harrisony1> rohan, good morning
[11:35] <eMail> by
[11:35] <rohan> Evening in Jamaica
[11:35] <voraistos> voraistos: well, its part of linux and all that. tranlators are very important
[11:35] <harrisony1> ProN00b, and when you add it do a sudo apt-get updare
[11:35] <rohan> question
[11:35] <harrisony1> rohan, go
[11:35] <imbecile> what does "failed to create enough space for installation" mean? I can click it a second time and i dont get the error but it just hangs there and doesnt do anything
[11:35] <Siv0x> crimsun: here is what i used to get my kde.. maybe i havent installed it right: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[11:35] <sn00p> harrisony1, dont work
[11:36] <crimsun> Siv0x: that's fine. Did you switch sessions?
[11:36] <fisheye> n2diy: yes i know. I'm an ubuntu user just asking arround :)
[11:36] <voraistos> n2diy: well, its part of linux and all that. tranlators are very important
[11:36] <rohan> i am trying to find the software gui  where i can download softwares such as the bible , Msn messenger etc
[11:36] <harrisony1> sn00p, http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Main_Page
[11:36] <fisheye> n2diy : would be stupid to ask arround chanels i dont even go to
[11:36] <Plinty> so has anyone used anjuta ide? :/
[11:36] <sp2742> PART Bye for now
[11:36] <mnoir> Aardwolf: the defaulting is a combination of linex in xorg.conf
[11:36] <n2diy> fisheye: roger that.
[11:36] <fisheye> :)
[11:36] <Aardwolf> linex?
[11:36] <harrisony1> rohan, msn- try aMsn ,bible- search in synaptic
[11:36] <Siv0x> crimsun: No i was hoping you had a konsole command for this - i'm used to debian and I couldnt figure out how to do this. its been about 2 years ago that i've used linux so i've pretty much forgot everything.
[11:36] <harrisony1> !bible
[11:36] <robt> Plinty: i cant be of much help, but does compiling and linking cli work fine?
[11:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bible - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:36] <mnoir> the dflt depth is specified and a line shows the resolutions in order
[11:36] <voraistos> fisheye, what project is it ?
[11:36] <rohan> i am using Kubuntu 6.10
[11:37] <rohan> ok
[11:37] <n2diy> fisheye: there are probably other forums where you would have a better chance of finding what ya need, don't ya think?
[11:37] <stefg> imbecile, so you decided to try it by yourself. make a backup first, you'll need aprox. 4-5 GB minimum for a dapper install.
[11:37] <rohan> yeah
[11:37] <Plinty> cli?
[11:37] <crimsun> Siv0x: you should be able to select the KDE session at the kdm greeter.
[11:37] <harrisony1> rohan, just make sure you uncomment the universe repositories
[11:37] <rohan> yes - thewre is a software for that
[11:37] <harrisony1> yep
[11:37] <n2diy> Plinty: cli, command line interface.
[11:37] <Siv0x> crimsun: just logout and select the kde session?
[11:37] <rohan> how do i uncomment
[11:37] <harrisony1> !BibleTime | rohan

[11:44] <reiatzu> cntb: I help distribute Ubuntu * around Nigeria ;)
[11:44] <Arrick_Idle> How do I get a KVM switch to work with ubuntu?
[11:44] <lovloss> As a quick side note though, i will be downloading this. lol. Now then....
[11:44] <harrisony1> Shaezsche, gnome
[11:44] <reiatzu> harrisony1: a satanic version/christian version
[11:44] <lovloss> Shaezsche: I think gnome.
[11:44] <Arrick_Idle> stupid mouse and kayboard die when I switch to that PC
[11:44] <harrisony1> reiatzu, i  have no idea
[11:44] <Shaezsche> why gnome?
[11:44] <lovloss> Shaezsche: KDE is  a bit heavy-duty
[11:44] <Shaezsche> yea but doesnt it scale down better
[11:44] <lovloss> Shaezsche: Although the file manager is a whopper
[11:44] <cntb> torrents are faster with more participants
[11:44] <THEoracle> <------prefers E17
[11:45] <lynucs> which progs are you using for wake on lan???
[11:45] <lovloss> Shaezsche: yOU could use that "x" thing... whats it called....
[11:45] <Shaezsche> howis e17 for battery life
[11:45] <lovloss> xcfe or something?
[11:45] <ski-worklap> anyone had any experience, positive or negative, with emperor linux or system76?
[11:45] <Shaezsche> yea, i dont like xcfe, takes too long to load gnome progs
[11:45] <lynucs> Shaezsche: just great, if no animatoed backgrounds
[11:45] <kane77> is there a repository for sunbird??
[11:45] <AndrewG> evolution has just crapped itself on me - whenever I open it up now it crashes for some reason
[11:46] <Shaezsche> can yo uuse e17 with ubuntu?
[11:46] <ski-worklap> AndrewG, rm -rf .evolution ?
[11:46] <crimsun> Shaezsche: sure.
[11:46] <lynucs> Shaezsche: what do you think i'm doing right now
[11:46] <THEoracle> very good for battery life actually
[11:46] <ski-worklap> or perhaps mv .evolution .evolution.bak
[11:46] <apache_newbie> I'm trying to configure apache 2.0 with mod_proxy, but don't seem to be able to get mod_proxy_html to load. I'm getting "Invalid command ProxyHTMLURLMap", but AFAICT have installed mod_proxy_html and setup mod-available and mod-enabled. Can anyone help diagnose?
[11:46] <THEoracle> its very lightweight
[11:46] <AndrewG> got over 1000 emails with a lot business related
[11:46] <voraistos> AndrewG: yeah just wipe out the evolution directory
[11:46] <Shaezsche> link? is it hard to install?
[11:46] <AndrewG> rm -rf .evolution probably isn't the best option
[11:46] <mnoir> apache_newbie: should try #apache
[11:46] <lynucs> Shaezsche: you can use repository
[11:46] <apache_newbie> have tried their
[11:46] <apache_newbie> there
[11:47] <THEoracle> no.....not really.....there's a good howto in the Ubuntu forums
[11:47] <apache_newbie> they aren't ubuntu savvy
[11:47] <lynucs> Shaezsche: or compile yourself from cvs
[11:47] <exs> ok cool, I've finally removed the old vmware and I've got the normal tar.gz file to install. It's asking me the first insillation question. That question being ".In which directory do you want to install the binary files? [/usr/bin]  " What should I type ?.. Should I type (quite simply) "/home/engle/Desktop/vmware_server" ? Thanks
[11:47] <ski-worklap> AndrewG, move it out of the way, see if evolution starts ok wthout any of your specific data, then move stuff back in onepiece at a time
[11:47] <ski-worklap> exs, you probably donot want that on your desktop, no.
[11:47] <AndrewG> just done that now - went to send/receive and it's doing the old accounts
[11:47] <lynucs> Shaezsche: compiling yourself is better, because of more modules and other things
[11:47] <AndrewG> seems to be working..
[11:47] <voraistos> Hey anyone knws a great lvmhowto ? i am looking to nstall 2 lvm discs on a server...
[11:47] <CheshireViking> rohan: I'm coming to your query about bible late, but I got a package through synaptic called gnomesword which I think uses the bibletime library's etc, although I did have a problem with one of the dependencies which I had to track down manually
[11:47] <harrisony1> exs, just go default to all
[11:47] <ski-worklap>  /usr/bin is a good choice. /usr/local/bin is better
[11:47] <exs> ski-worklap:  where should I put it? and do I need to create a directory?
[11:48] <exs> harrisony1:  there isn't default :(
[11:48] <freddy_> hello.. can anyone tell mw how to install easycam2? i can't see find it on aptitude! and i can't find it on google!! please need some help

[11:48] <ski-worklap> exs, your bill is in the mail
[11:48] <lovloss> How come I cant resize a partition on my girlfriend's HP computer? I want to make space so she can dual boot into linux. Cant give her to completely leave winblows
[11:48] <exs> ski-worklap:  lol
[11:48] <reiatzu> hi babwe
[11:48] <lovloss> Are they allowed to make it unshrinkable?
[11:48] <harrisony1> exs, just keep pressing enter
[11:48] <exs> ski-worklap:  "What is the directory that contains the init directories (rc0.d/ to rc6.d/)? " That's the next question.. Damn, this is getting tougher!
[11:48] <Shaezsche> is reiserfs or ext3 better for battery life, or does it matter?
[11:49] <ski-worklap> exs, /etc
[11:49] <reiatzu> Shaezsche: I haven't found the file sys relevant ;) I prefer ext3 though
[11:49] <ski-worklap> Shaeerzsche, it doesn't much matt
[11:49] <gaten> lovloss:  are u using the installers partition editor? what error does it give you
[11:49] <ski-worklap> matter
[11:49] <exs> ski-worklap: "What is the directory that contains the init scripts?  "
[11:49] <Aardwolf> I fixed the default resolution issue by placing "1280x1024" first in the list of modes
[11:49] <AndrewG> evolution seems to be OK now, thanks for your help
[11:49] <voraistos> reiserfs is pretty good, but i would stick to the more supported ext3
[11:49] <ski-worklap> exs, /etc
[11:50] <reiatzu> Shaezsche: use reiserfs for smaller partitions
[11:50] <voraistos> !lvm
[11:50] <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
[11:50] <mnoir> exs: /etc/init.d
[11:50] <reiatzu> Things like /boot perhaps
[11:50] <imbecile> what do you guys think a noob should use dapper drake or edgy? I am tryin to create dual boot and im not having any luck
[11:50] <lovloss> gaten: Yeah. It just says that it cant scan the disk. "Toitally 3 sectors!" it says. But its out of the box and we already defragged
[11:50] <stefg> lovloss: if the windows partition is somehow damaged already the partitioning programm will not resize it
[11:50] <exs> mnoir:  oops, I went with /etc as ski-worklap said :(
[11:50] <lynucs> imbecile: dapper
[11:50] <reiatzu> imbecile: It would be preferrable to use Edgy as its the most recent
[11:50] <gaten> lovloss:  what kind of disk is it. SATA or IDE? can the installer see the disk at all?
[11:50] <lovloss> stefg: wouldnt defrag fix it?
[11:50] <reiatzu> To dual boot, you'd be better off installing Windows (assuming thats what you're dual booting with) first.
[11:50] <imbecile> hehe thats always the way it goes ;P
[11:51] <lynucs> imbecile: dapper because there are more wikis and repos for dapper atm
[11:51] <lovloss> gaten: the installer sees it fine.
[11:51] <stefg> lovloss: no that makes it worse... chkdsk is the one to run in win
[11:51] <mnoir> exs: but you verified so no harm right?
[11:51] <lovloss> I dunno if its SATA or IDE
[11:51] <reiatzu> That way grub would automatically load your windows partition upon boot
[11:51] <cntb> http://pangea001.upc.es/ubuntu-dvd-torrents/
[11:51] <imbecile> stefg, you think that might be my problem as well?
[11:51] <Roconda> how can I check if my vga driver is working? (i use nvidia)
[11:51] <ski-worklap> edgy doesn't have LTS iirc, but dapper does
[11:51] <ski-worklap> so for a server i might use dapper
[11:51] <lovloss> stefg Ohhh ok... god i hate windows. how do you chkdsk? Just type it into its terminal? it has a terminal right
[11:51] <exs> mnoir:  what do you mean verified?
[11:51] <gaten> lovloss:  alright, well that doesnt matter anyway. run chkdsk and see if that helps
[11:52] <mnoir> i mean you didn't believe anything that anybody says here without verifying it.
[11:52] <gaten> lovloss:  its called a command prompt. goto start then run then type in 'cmd'
[11:52] <cntb> why edgy doesnt have LTSP ?who said >?
[11:52] <stefg> imbecile: that's hard to tell... i'd need either proper information or hands-on access.
[11:52] <lovloss> ok
[11:52] <^PRiNCeSiKa_29^> somebody know speak spanish?
[11:52] <mnoir> cntb: cannonical said\
[11:52] <reiatzu> Brb
[11:52] <Roconda> how can I check if my vga driver is working? (i use nvidia)?? because I don't see a nvidia splash anymore on the startup

[11:53] <xwinq> Can anyone tell me what packages I need to install to get Xwindows working on ubnuntu server and Kdesktop.
[11:53] <Aoirthoir> say anyone have any idea how I can change the current editor that runs when I open a file from the file browser in gnome?
[11:53] <mnoir> xwinq: kde-desktop
[11:53] <sovieticool> hi all i am happy i jusnt install vmware :))
[11:53] <lovloss> well thanks guys. im trying to save her from the vileness of m@cro$oft
[11:53] <ski-worklap> Aoirthoir, right click, go to preferences
[11:53] <Aardwolf> How comes it that I can do administrative tasks in ubuntu, by giving my non-root user password, instead of the password of root?
[11:53] <cntb> xwinq:  copy paste sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[11:53] <strabes> Aoirthoir: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/nonautilusplease
[11:54] <mnoir> Aoirthoir: export EDITOR=   in yer .bashrc
[11:54] <Aoirthoir> woa thanks
[11:54] <cntb> need universe repos
[11:54] <lovloss> I want a shirt that says "sudo apt-get remove windows"
[11:54] <Aoirthoir> dont know what that is mnoir
[11:54] <ski-worklap> Aoirthoir, err ight click, go to properties, then select the "open with" tab
[11:54] <Arrick_Idle> ok, new question
[11:54] <exs> ok it's installed now just if you guys wanted to know, thanks for your help ski-worklap and mnoir
[11:54] <sovieticool> !flash
[11:54] <xwinq> cntb - thank you very much - I will try and get back to you in a minute

[11:54] <ski-worklap> the EDITOR trick mnoir suggests won't work unless you are opening from the command line
[11:54] <stefg> imbecile: do you know your way around in win?
[11:54] <imbecile> stefg, yeah
[11:54] <mnoir> exs: np
[11:55] <Aoirthoir> ah no not the file editor...sorry yall I like nautilus.. I mean if I edit say a PHP or Txt file etc
[11:55] <Arrick_Idle> I am logged into the failsafe terminal, and I would like to open an additional terminal (ubuntu breezy) How would I do this?
[11:55] <stefg> imbecile: so whaz's your disk, what's your partitions?
[11:55] <tritonx> What would you choose between  Processeur INTEL Pentium D 940 3.2 Ghz Dual Core - FSB 800 Mhz LGA775 - 4 Mo and  Processeur INTEL Core2 Duo E6300 - 1.86 GHz FSB 1066 Mhz LGA775 - 2 Mo ?
[11:55] <ski-worklap> Aoirthoir, then set EDITOR as mnoir suggests
[11:55] <Aoirthoir> ski that works only once..I have to redo that ver and over
[11:55] <ski-worklap> tritonx, c2d
[11:55] <Roconda> how can I check if my vga driver is working? (i use nvidia)?? because I don't see a nvidia splash anymore on the startup
[11:55] <ski-worklap> Aoirthoir, add it to your .profile or .bashrc
[11:55] <imbecile> i cant partition my C:\ with gparted
[11:55] <Aoirthoir> trying to read up
[11:55] <tritonx> ski, c2d ?
[11:55] <ski-worklap> export EDITOR=/path/to/whatever
[11:55] <exs> Does anyone know the equlivant to daemon tools for ubuntu?.. I need to mount an ISO image. Cheers
[11:55] <tritonx> core duo ?
[11:55] <imbecile> stefg, i cant partition my C:\ with gparted
[11:56] <ski-worklap> tritonx, core 2 duo, yes
[11:56] <tritonx> k, thanks
[11:56] <cntb> imbecile:  you cant?
[11:56] <ski-worklap> it's slower but you don't want a pentium 4 based machine
[11:56] <lovloss> is there a gparted kind of program for an installed ubuntu? i hate qparted, it cant resize and such.
[11:56] <MarcN> exs: : mount -o loop foo.iso /mnt
[11:56] <relbs> is there an apt command to search for which (possibly not installed) packages provide a specific file?
[11:56] <ski-worklap> slower in hz i mean
[11:56] <Aoirthoir> ah ok..so i put that command in .bashrc...thanks going to give it a try
[11:56] <exs> MarcN:  ok cool thanks I'll try that
[11:56] <tritonx> I wasnt sure
[11:56] <MarcN> exs: sudo ...
[11:56] <exs> MarcN:  ok
[11:56] <imbecile> cntb, nope it just hangs there.. busy icon never stops
[11:56] <freddy_> can anyone check if theres a problem with the easycam source? or is it just me? deb http://blognux.free.fr/debian unstable main
[11:57] <tritonx> ski: even with 4mo of cache instead of 2mo?
[11:57] <cntb> imbecile:  dont lose patience
[11:57] <imbecile> stefg, how about i create the partition with partition magic?
[11:57] <Aoirthoir> brb
[11:57] <stefg> imbecile: i'd make a full backup first, preferably with a backup program that can restore to a different size partition.
[11:58] <imbecile> i just reinstalled win last night so i dont have to worry
[11:58] <Arrick_Idle> Anyone have any knowledge?
[11:58] <gaten> Arrick_Idle:  you could use screen
[11:58] <Aoirthoir> going to reboot and test
[11:58] <Arrick_Idle> gaten, ok, how do I go about doing this?
[11:58] <imbecile> cntb, hehe im not... been trying to install this dang thing for almost 7 hours
[11:59] <stefg> imbecile: if you run win XP just shrink the partition with pmagic to have around 10 G of unpartitioned space on the drive. then  run teh installer again, it will take the space and put it to an actual use
[11:59] <cntb> nobody has any worth to use knowledge here Arrick_Idle
[11:59] <gaten> Arrick_Idle:  type in screen. then use ^a c to make a new "window" and ^a 0-9 to switch between windows. ^ means control key
[12:00] <imbecile> stefg.. i think im gonna try that
[12:00] <cntb> I would give ubuntu 20gb
