[12:00] <wilee85> does anyone know if there is a project similar to wine which has the goal to allow mac software to run over linux?

[12:14] <flossgeek> Fah: yes
[12:14] <hjmills> is anybody using xmms2?

[12:17] <Fah> seems snappy for desktop use. Gaming is a nonstarter, but thats probably fine
[12:17] <deckert> it just cant finish the installation
[12:17] <kane77> how do I upgrade to gnome 2.16?? (I use dapper and have gnome 2.14)
[12:17] <nolimitsoya> deckert, why not?

[12:18] <hammanrj> Yes.
[12:18] <lifepositive> im using Firefox and some websites I visit, the webpage is completely white and empty with no content!  But if I use Opera, it shows normal! is this a bug with firefox? and if so, whats the solution?
[12:18] <deckert> noo
[12:18] <deckert> there isnt
[12:18] <nolimitsoya> deckert, did you check the cd with the 'check cd' option in the boot menu?
[12:18] <hjmills> skukza: well most guides start with an instruction to backup the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file so if you did that then just restore it- otherwise, im afraid you will have to reinstall linux, buy a new graphics card, a new monitor and kis bill gates feet....
[12:18] <deckert> ah yea
[12:18] <deckert> but the disk is ok
[12:18] <deckert> yes
[12:18] <flossgeek> lifepositive: never had that issue
[12:18] <_jpierre> deckert: restart?
[12:18] <nolimitsoya> deckert, try the alternate install cd
[12:18] <deckert> i just have that
[12:18] <lifepositive> flossgeek: my freiend has had it too
[12:18] <deckert> cd
[12:19] <mwe> hammanrj: sorry gotta run. I hope someone else can take over from here
[12:19] <nolimitsoya> deckert, is this dapper, edgy or feisty?
[12:19] <flossgeek> lifepositive: you on version 2
[12:19] <deckert> 10.6
[12:19] <hammanrj> Can anyone help?
[12:19] <deckert> guess edgz
[12:19] <lifepositive> flossgeek: yes
[12:19] <deckert> edgy
[12:19] <skukza> hjmills, i didnt install the drivers i stopped x ran the installer it said i didnt have gcc and stopped and that was it
[12:19] <hammanrj> Look at my previous converstation with mwe
[12:19] <hammanrj> plz
[12:19] <hjmills> skukza: on second thoughts - now that i think of it - you could run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and reset the xserver so it works again (use the nv driver)
[12:19] <n2diy> skukza: ignore hjmills, you can try and fix xorg.conf
[12:20] <jesse> anyone with the core 2 duo motherboards?
[12:20] <hjmills> n2diy: sorry - that was me being sarcastic - its always a good idea to backup
[12:20] <flossgeek> lifepositive: Goto, Edit>Prefs> Privacy Tab
[12:20] <deckert> was that all

[12:20] <cafuego_> calm: 'ls -l /etc/aternatives/java'
[12:20] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository
[12:20] <skukza> how if i had made a backup called xorg.conf~backup would i restore it

[12:21] <nolimitsoya> calm, suns java is gpl as of some days...
[12:21] <cafuego_> alternatives, even
[12:21] <deckert> mount: mount point cd-rom does not exist
[12:21] <hammanrj> Anyone at all?
[12:21] <_jpierre> deckert: gimme 2 mins
[12:21] <nolimitsoya> deckert, you shouldnt be mounting anything during the install
[12:21] <hjmills> skukza: cd /etc/X11/ && sudo cp xorg.conf~backup xorg.conf
[12:21] <nolimitsoya> deckert, reboot, and try again. if this is the alternate, you have done something very wrong. you shouldnt even have terminal access

[12:27] <jesse> cafuego_: you around?
[12:28] <mnoir> theflyingfool: are you having like signal strength problems maybe - does the card work fine in windows?
[12:28] <imbecile> can someone help me install connect-0.6.2
[12:28] <derrik> deckert: sorry i only caught the last part of your problem, you say you were having trouble with cd-rom drive?
[12:29] <fmachado> derrik, he mounted a liveCD ISO and is trying to install from there.
[12:29] <cafuego_> jesse: I've not had problems, but then I have a 945, not a 965.
[12:29] <jesse> cafuego_: yeah, apparently theres a kernel problem with this motherboard
[12:29] <n2diy> jesse, and the install stalls while scanning the cdrom.
[12:30] <n2diy> Why did my command line completion quit on me?
[12:30] <derrik> fmachado: ahh, yeah just a restart'll fix it then. so long as the cd rom drive is set to boot before the hd
[12:30] <jesse> n2diy: or it wont even boot with my existing install on a PATA drive
[12:30] <jesse> i guess the pata controller is all messed up in the kernel
[12:31] <jackmynt> ojindof
[12:31] <ubuntu> who knows anything about mounting my linux drive using a live cd to edit repositories so i can update an old hoary server install into a dapper desktop install or anyone have better idea? if i had more skills this obviously wouldnt be a problem haha :(
[12:31] <robbbb> anyone got any idea why my laptop doesn't warn me when it's about to run out of power? (it just dies)
[12:31] <deckert> well basically the problem is that it doesnt finish the install
[12:31] <n2diy> jesse, sorry I replied to the wrong post, I meant that for derrik.
[12:32] <jesse> n2diy: well you were actually right about my problem
[12:32] <jesse> oh well, guess ill just wait for the kernel to catch up, thanks anyways guys
[12:32] <hexoffset> i need someone to help me with turning a still image into a 2 second movie
[12:32] <imbecile> can anyone recommend a good/easy wifi manager for wpa?

[12:33] <n2diy> jesse, yes.
[12:33] <jesse> well no
[12:33] <robbbb> anyone here an ubuntu dev?
[12:33] <robbbb> anyone got any idea why my laptop doesn't warn me when it's about to run out of power? (it just dies)
[12:33] <imbecile> tonyyarusso, ill give it a try
[12:33] <jesse> n2diy: but the kernel doesnt seem to be able to use this motherboard, specifically the PATA controller
[12:33] <eitan> hey guys, need help with gsynaptics
[12:33] <derrik> deckert: so you're running a live cd and it's stalling as it loads the OS?
[12:33] <n2diy> jesse, ok, have you cleaned the CD, and the drive, otherwise it could be a bad burn?
[12:33] <tonyyarusso> robbbb: Check for bugs in lauchpad, and if none has been filed, file one.
[12:34] <deckert> deckert it loads the os and then there is a install option all runs fine until82 percent
[12:34] <deckert> then it stops
[12:34] <n2diy> jesse, ok, now I'm all confused, and I don't know anything about pata drives.
[12:34] <jackmynt> whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa nooobs
[12:34] <robbbb> thought somebody in here might have an idea
[12:34] <deckert> when it trys to access the cd rom
[12:34] <jesse> n2diy: you probably missed my earlier post. The kernel doesnt seem to be able to use the Intel motherboard DG965WH as referenced here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Core_2_Duo_Support
[12:34] <jesse> PATA is just IDE
[12:34] <cafuego_> jesse: Ar you able to get a Feisty ISO and see if its kernel works ok?
[12:35] <JosefK> jesse, ah, I ran into that error with my Core 2 Duo too
[12:35] <jesse> cafuego_: i did try that, but with no luck
[12:35] <jesse> the latest build even
[12:35] <JosefK> jesse, using the Live CD install worked fine, though
[12:35] <jesse> JosefK: which motherboard and LiveCD?
[12:35] <cld2> from the CLI how would I remove entire sets of packages, like open office and gimp? thanks.
[12:35] <n2diy> jesse, ok I don't know why Ubuntu would have trouble with an IDE drive, how new is the mom board?
[12:35] <JosefK> jesse, latest dell D620, not sure which motherboard and haven't got it powered on to check
[12:35] <derrik> deckert: hmm, so its booting into the cd. is there only the one cd-rom drive?
[12:36] <JosefK> jesse, I'll amend the Wiki page when I get the chance
[12:36] <jesse> n2diy: brand new. check out the wiki about it
[12:36] <deckert> yes only one
[12:36] <deckert> but it worked fine on my desktop
[12:36] <mnoir> cld2: try man apt-get
[12:36] <deckert> doesnt workl on mz laptop
[12:36] <jesse> i g/g eat, ill be back later guys
[12:36] <jesse> thanks
[12:36] <n2diy> jesse, that could be the problem, brand new hardware might not be supported yet?
[12:36] <simonvc> @Flannel, Hey thanks for your help before. The "command line install" was Exactly what i was looking for. 450Megs for the record.
[12:36] <jesse> n2diy: thats exactly it
[12:37] <eitan> after a fresh 6.10 ubuntu install, my internal sd card reader on my laptop doesn't resond
[12:37] <exs> does anyone know where gaims log files are?
[12:37] <n2diy> jesse, well, then there is nothing anybody here can do to fix that. :/
[12:37] <Pelo> exs,  probablty a hidden file in the home/user folder
[12:37] <ubuntu> who knows anything about mounting my linux drive using a live cd to edit repositories so i can update an old hoary server install into a dapper desktop install or anyone have better idea? if i had more skills this obviously wouldnt be a problem haha :(
[12:38] <exs> Pelo:  how do I go about finding them if they are hidden?
[12:38] <mnoir> exs: try /home/you/.gaim/logs
[12:38] <exs> mnoir:  cheers
[12:38] <derrik> deckert: have you tried reburning or re-downloading then reburning the iso? it may be corrupt.
[12:38] <Pelo> ubuntu,   sudo mount /watever/hdd1   /media/hdd1
[12:38] <cld2> mnoir: thanks.
[12:39] <mnoir> cld2: worked?
[12:39] <soweto76> exs:  ls -l .gain
[12:39] <ubuntu> how would i specify said drive
[12:39] <ubuntu> cause it asks me to
[12:39] <exs> soweto76:  yeah I found them :)
[12:39] <soweto76> exs:  ls -l .gaim  is better :)
[12:39] <Pelo> exs  ;you can view all hidden files and folder by chekcing the o0ption in the display menu in nautilus,  ( about half way down)
[12:39] <LameBMX> how high can the process count go? at what number does it roll-over
[12:39] <exs> Pelo:  Oh yeah, cheers for that
[12:40] <logivision> When I go to change my screen resolution it flickers a bit and then goes to the login screen. I log back in and my screen resolution has been set back to normal. How do i change my screen resolution?
[12:40] <Pelo> ubuntu,   check the hardware manager for the available drives
[12:40] <exs> does anyone know how to tell gaim to show all people by their email address? (not their display name) ? Thanks
[12:40] <cld2> mnoir: yeah, I didnt think apt-GET would let me remove... should have RTFMP thanks.
[12:41] <tonyyarusso> exs: You could set aliases.
[12:41] <Pelo> logo edit the xorg.conf file,  you will probably need to adjust the refresh rate
[12:41] <exs> tonyyarusso:  yeah but I've got over a hundred users...
[12:41] <ubuntu> udo mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/test
[12:41] <ubuntu> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1,
[12:41] <ubuntu>        missing codepage or other error  i tried this.. /dev says  i have hda hda1 hda2 hda5 etc
[12:41] <tonyyarusso> exs: :(  I'm not sure if there's an easier way - poke around the preferances and plugins first
[12:41] <Pelo> ubuntu,  did you make a  test dir in /mnt/ ?
[12:42] <ubuntu> yes
[12:42] <Pelo> ubuntu,  check the forum for your error message
[12:42] <exs> tonyyarusso:  I have been.. can't find it anywhere.
[12:42] <tonyyarusso> exs: Might not be anything easy then
[12:43] <ubuntu> $ sudo mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/test
[12:43] <ubuntu> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[12:43] <ubuntu>   someone was helping me earlier and gave me the commands to specify
[12:43] <ubuntu> and it immediatly froze
[12:43] <Anderson1> Hey, I put a HDD with an install of linux into  new machine. The machine works great with the exception of X. The xorg.conf file has an incorrect display adapter configured. I tried deleting the file, hoping the system would automatically generate a new on in it's absence. This sort of worked, except now I have an empty xorg.conf file. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the entire xserver system. What can I do to get this worki
[12:44] <n2diy> !reconfiguer x
[12:44] <deckert>  deckert cant be corrupt its from a mag

[12:47] <n2diy> Anderson1: see the message Pelo sent me at 18:44
[12:47] <derrik> deckert: hmm. this is a tough one. i'm not sure why it would be able to start the install process, but then hang when it tries to read the same drive its running from.
[12:47] <Pelo> Anderson1,   sudo dpkg reconfigure xserver.conf
[12:48] <HighLife> Can anyone tell me how to enable multi-core support on mencoder
[12:48] <HighLife> ?
[12:48] <derrik> the only thing i think to try is a different cd rom drive if you had one on hand
[12:48] <Anderson1> Pelo, dpkg returned that I need an action option
[12:48] <Axsuul> do i need to install samba server to share files in ubuntu?
[12:48] <Anderson1> GOt it
[12:49] <cafuego_> Axsuul: Not necessarily, but it would make it easy if you had windows cleints, yes
[12:49] <HighLife> Hey I am just getting into this linux thing :P
[12:49] <change_me> good evening
[12:49] <Axsuul> thanks
[12:49] <change_me> can I get some help
[12:49] <ScuzzFuddly> anyone here ever try the quake 4 demo?
[12:49] <HighLife> lol
[12:49] <suyuki> I'm trying to install libncurses5-dev
[12:50] <suyuki> synaptic tells me it's broken
[12:50] <suyuki> how can I fix that
[12:50] <Pelo> cahnge you will only get help if you ask a question, we cannot read minds
[12:50] <crimsun> suyuki: what's the message that ``sudo aptitude install libncurses5-dev'' in a Terminal gives you?
[12:50] <Pelo> suyuki,  find the source code using google and use this to install  http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/
[12:50] <n2diy> suyuki: mark it for re-install?
[12:51] <suyuki> um I haven't tried that
[12:51] <suyuki> should I really try
[12:51] <levander> I just plugged my camera into my Edgy box to see what would happen.  gThumb popped up, and it seems to be trying to point at my camera.  But, all it shows is empty directories even though I know there are pictures on the camera.  The pictures are in RAW.  Is that why gThumb isn't showing them?
[12:51] <m12> how do I uninstall a program that I installed via DEB file?
[12:51] <suyuki> the aptitude thing
[12:51] <n2diy> suyuki: yes!
[12:51] <HighLife> I know it's possible there must be someone here who knows how to make mencoder use both cores?
[12:51] <Adium> Hey guys what package will have pgtclsh ?
[12:51] <ssmasood> hi all...i have an Intel proset 3945 a/b/g Wireless adapter which is not working....when i type iwconfig....the three interfaces say "no wireless extensions"....i can see a file named ipw3945 in /sbin...what to do???
[12:51] <Adium> the tcl part of Postgresql
[12:51] <HighLife> It would make Highlife very happy :)
[12:52] <jpjacobs> m12 apt-get remove package
[12:52] <Adium> Pgtcl
[12:52] <Adium> thats the package i want
[12:53] <suyuki> hrrm I'll try aptitude install, if I fail I'll be back in no time lol
[12:53] <fabiim> hi there , i,m trying to get my 3com ethernet card working \
[12:53] <fabiim> it's strange , i see on google that my card works right away on ubuntu , but it's not working
[12:53] <Adium> or a better question has any one managed to get gnuworld services compiled under dapper?
[12:53] <n2diy> What's the difference between aptitude, and synaptic?
[12:53] <quasar8888> Hello I cannot play dvd movies with Totem movie player I get the following message : Totem cannot play this type of media (DVD) because you do not have the appropriate plugins to handle it.
[12:54] <arrenlex> n2diy: synaptic is a GTK frontend for apt. aptitude is a CLI frontend for apt.
[12:54] <mattk02> anyone free to help me with the GRUB menu?
[12:54] <arrenlex> n2diy: GTK -> GIMP Toolkit. CLI -> Command Line Interface.
[12:54] <arrenlex> !anyone | mattk02
[12:54] <ubotu> mattk02: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[12:54] <mattk02> i want to boot from my other hd but i dont know what device it is?
[12:55] <arrenlex> hd1
[12:55] <fabiim> can someone give me a hand on how to find what's wrong ? I know the driver needed : 3c905C
[12:55] <tonyyarusso> Is it possible to make synaptic use aptitude under the hood instead of apt-get so that it handles dependencies on removals gracefully?
[12:55] <mattk02> ubuntu is on (hd0,0)
[12:55] <n2diy> arrenlex: ok so the both use apt, so they play with the same files/dir etc...?
[12:55] <mhuetsch> Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0). Can anyone explain to me what this message means? Do I need an initrd.img to boot? If so, why?
[12:56] <Adium> Has any one ever been able to successfuly configure this with out any errors? http://pgfoundry.org/frs/?group_id=1000086&release_id=255
[12:56] <mattk02> anyone know how to find out which would be my secondary hard drive? my first is (hd0,0)
[12:56] <ssmasood> hi all...i have an Intel proset 3945 a/b/g Wireless adapter which is not working....when i type iwconfig....the three interfaces say "no wireless extensions"....i can see a file named ipw3945 in /sbin...what to do???
[12:56] <wojtek4994> hi I'm looking for help! I'm trying to start Ubuntu 6.06 from CD, but after loading there is an error with xserver... I tried with several CDs! I don't know what I should do... Have you the same error?
[12:57] <n2diy> mhuetsch: it could mean various things, here it has meant I was trying to install on a box that didn't have enough RAM, I got around it by installing 5.10 first, and then 6.06 on top of that.
[12:57] <wojtek4994> I've got Sempron 3000+ and 1 GB RAM
[12:57] <mattk02> n2diy: you seem knowledgeable could you help me out?
[12:57] <arrenlex> tonyyarusso: apt autoremove handles dependencies on removal.
[12:58] <n2diy> mattk02: Ha, I know enough to be dangerous, but I can try.
[12:58] <mattk02> private msg?
[12:58] <mhuetsch> n2diy: interesting. i should have enough RAM. hmm
[12:58] <Anderson1> how can I find out which package a file belongs to?
[12:58] <n2diy> mattk02: why go private, if I don't know the solution, someone else here might?
[12:58] <arrenlex> mattk02: (hd0,0) = first partition on first drive = /dev/sda or hda1. So (hd1,0) = first partition on second drive = /dev/sdb1 or hdb1.
[12:58] <Anderson1> fabiim, what have you tried so far?
[12:59] <crimsun> Anderson1: apt-file or http://packages.ubuntu.com, or use !find with the bot in query.
[12:59] <tonyyarusso> arrenlex: does synaptic use that then?
[12:59] <bam> Hi...I was wondering if there is any way to have a passwordless "kdesu"?
[12:59] <n2diy> mfuetsch: how much do you have?
[12:59] <Anderson1> ..
[12:59] <Anderson1> Ok, having network errors.
[12:59] <mhuetsch> 512MB
[12:59] <n2diy> mfuetsch: yep, that is ok, how old is the hard drive.
[12:59] <mattk02> n2diy: check private message?
[12:59] <arrenlex> tonyyarusso: I don't know how synaptic handles dependencies. I don't use it. Sorry.
[01:00] <n2diy> mattk02: I'm not registered for PM's.
[01:00] <tonyyarusso> arrenlex: Nor do I - I use aptitude, but would like to know for telling people.
[01:00] <mattk02> ok well do you know how i would find out what my second hd would be so i can add it to grub?
[01:00] <mattk02> my first hd is (hd0,0)
[01:01] <fabiim> Anderson1, well , nothing ... I see that ubuntu sees the card , but do not recognize it I think . I searched in  google and some people says that the card works right away on ubuntu .
[01:01] <mattk02> n2diy: read uppp :P
[01:01] <Asc> I'm trying to 'sudo chroot folder', but it returns 'chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory".  Any ideas?  Yes, bash is installed.
[01:01] <mhuetsch> n2diy: this year... i'm kinda thinking it's something to do with my grub setup?
[01:01] <logivision> Why won't Ubuntu let me change my resolution lower?!
[01:01] <n2diy> arrenlex, tonyyarusso, I have found synaptic is very good with dependencies.
[01:01] <fabiim> Anderson1,  how can i see if i have that driver installed?
[01:01] <Shadowfax> is there any address book program where you can edit the adresses in ubuntu? (vfc or what the type is called)
[01:02] <n2diy> mattk02: I'm not registered for PM's.
[01:02] <logivision> It's stuck on 1280x1024 but at 61HZ so it's KILLING my eye's
[01:02] <Asc> logivision: did you 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' and select lower resolutions to be available?
[01:02] <mattk02> n2diy: no idea how to tell what my secondary hd would be? i need to add another OS to grub but i dont know what device it is
[01:02] <mattk02> n2diy: my ubuntu is on (hd0,0)
[01:02] <quasar8888> where can I find plugin for Totem movie player that will allow me to play dvd's?
[01:02] <n2diy> mhuetsch: has linux been installed on this box before?
[01:03] <logivision> Asc: they are availabnle in the list, but when i select them it kinda like crashes and goes back to the login screen and doesn't change anything
[01:03] <mattk02> quasar8888: check add/remove programs
[01:03] <logivision> Asc: I havne't done that though, does it matter if i'm using Gnome ?
[01:03] <Asc> mattk02: 'ls /dev | grep hd'  should list all your hdd devices
[01:03] <mattk02> quasar8888: you need to download the codecs from edgy
[01:03] <HighLife> I know it's possible there must be someone here who knows how to make mencoder use both cores?
[01:03] <mattk02> Asc:  thank you!
[01:04] <JosefK> HighLife, I don't think it does because of timing problems
[01:04] <quasar8888> what is edgy?
[01:04] <n2diy> mattk02: that doesn't look right, it should be something like hda1, but I haven't played around in grub, so I'm not sure of that.
[01:04] <HighLife> what should I use then?
[01:04] <mattk02> quasar8888: click applications and scroll down to Add/Remove
[01:04] <Asc> logivision: Uh, hmm.  That's not a problem I've seen before.
[01:04] <vect0rx> grub in vga was nice
[01:04] <HighLife> Is there a better video encoding program that has most of the same features?
[01:05] <vect0rx> thats thje only thing im mising about gentoo right now
[01:05] <JosefK> afaik some parts of ffmpeg can handle SMP
[01:05] <vect0rx> like the only thing
[01:05] <fabiim> mattk02,  check what Asc told you , then for grub replace a for 0  , b for 1 ... etc...
[01:05] <JosefK> it depends on what you're trying to decode from and encode too though, more hints in the ffmpeg changelog :)
[01:05] <mattk02> Asc: i need the device for GRUB though...like ubuntu boots on (hd0,0)
[01:06] <mhuetsch> n2diy: im running 2.6.17-10 right now, this kernel works except I often get this error on boot "Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work! Boot with apic=debug and send a report. Then try booting with the 'noapic' option". I've read a newer kernel resolves the issue, so I compiled 2.6.19 but I get the above problem
[01:06] <HighLife> from dvd to h.264
[01:06] <HighLife> or .avi to .mpeg
[01:06] <fabiim> How can i see if these driver is installed : 3c905C
[01:06] <fabiim> ?
[01:06] <ssmasood> hi all...i have an Intel proset 3945 a/b/g Wireless adapter which is not working....when i type iwconfig....the three interfaces say "no wireless extensions"....i can see a file named ipw3945 in /sbin...what to do???
[01:06] <ssmasood> is anybody there...??
[01:06] <n2diy> mhuetsch: ok, did you follow the suggestions?
[01:06] <logivision> Asc: in that configureation once i get to the screen resolutions, how do i disable one of them (remove the star)
[01:07] <Asc> logivision: Press space I think.
[01:07] <JosefK> HighLife, mpeg is definitely SMP enabled, but you'll have to grep the ffmpeg changelog yourself
[01:07] <logivision> Asc: ... and how do you go "bacK" if you hit enter to fast ?
[01:07] <quasar8888> Matt the movie player is alreadt installed
[01:07] <HighLife> What do you mean?
[01:08] <nix_ferret> logivision, err...ctrl+c
[01:08] <Asc> mattk: just a second....
[01:08] <HighLife> and thank you for the help Josefk ive been steaming over this for a while
[01:08] <mattk02> quasar8888: yes i know but you have to download the codec packages...give me a minute and i will find out the name of the package
[01:08] <derrik> ssmasood: have you seen this page: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+ticket/2917  ?
[01:08] <mattk02> Asc:  thx
[01:08] <JosefK> HighLife, hehe, np's - http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/changelog.html
[01:08] <logivision> Asc: didn't work ...
[01:08] <mhuetsch> n2diy: yeah, if I recall correctly nothing changed, but I guess I'll go check it again. was a while ago. bbl
[01:08] <quasar8888> ok thx Matt
[01:08] <ssmasood> derrik...no
[01:08] <JosefK> HighLife, search that for 'smp' and the things you're trying to transcode from/to - ffmpeg's my transcoder of choice, at least
[01:08] <Asc> logivision: I was going to say I have no idea, but you might try what nix_ferret said
[01:09] <logivision> Asc: Whoops, i meant to say nix_ferret that didn't work
[01:09] <logivision> nix_ferret: didn't work !
[01:09] <nix_ferret> lol, ok
[01:09] <mattk02> quasar8888: Gstreamer (there is one for audio and one for video)
[01:09] <derrik> ssmasood give that a shot, i've haven't actually used the wireless network manager myself, but i looks as though the poster was having the same problem as you
[01:09] <HighLife> is there a good tutorial somewhere on how to use ffmpeg?
[01:09] <Asc> mattk: Well, this is interesting.  In my grub I have it set to, e.g., root=/dev/hda1, and it works all right.
[01:10] <JosefK> HighLife, http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/documentation.html is pretty good, lots of examples on the net though
[01:10] <mattk02> asc: well then ill attempt that one appreciate the help
[01:10] <JosefK> HighLife, if you're trying to use H264, I recommend building your own libx264 and ffmpeg from SVN
[01:10] <mattk02> quasar8888: This GStreamer plugin supports a large number of audio and video compression formats through the use of the FFmpeg library.
[01:10] <Turgon> Hello. I have just installed Ubuntu Edgy in my pendrive in persistent mode, following these instructions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent . My question is: would it be a good idea to create a new user with admin rights and then delete the "root" user?
[01:10] <Asc> mattk: but the conversion for the normal format is something like, /dev/hdb1 = hd(0,0), /dev/hdb2 = hd(0,1)
[01:10] <JosefK> HighLife, the x264 and ffmpeg that ship with Ubuntu has been crippled for copyright reasons
[01:10] <HighLife> alright
[01:10] <HymnToLife> Turgon, you cannot delete root
[01:10] <JosefK> *have
[01:10] <Asc> mattk: I don't remember if it's supposed to be (hd0,0) or hd(0,0) though
[01:11] <ssmasood> derrik...let me check
[01:11] <HighLife> lol do you have a tutorial on how to do that ? :P
[01:11] <n2diy> Turgon, I don't think that is a good idea.
[01:11] <McScruff> lo all, im havingtrouble mounting an smb share, i can view the folders in a file manager, but i want it mounted as /Storage on my other pc.  i keep getting ERRnoaccess (Acess denied)
[01:11] <mattk02> asc: (hd0,0)
[01:11] <quasar8888> thanks Matt I'll try that, downloading now
[01:11] <Asc> logivision: Well, I guess the easy way would be to start over.  That's what I've always done, and you get pretty fast at it after the first half dozen tries or so.
[01:11] <nix_ferret> Why would u want to del root?
[01:11] <logivision> Asc: Yea. After I go through and set that all up do i have to reboot for the chances to take place ?
[01:12] <Asc> logivision: You just have to restart X; use control-alt-backspace
[01:12] <JosefK> HighLife, two secs, there should be packages for it out there on the net..
[01:12] <Asc> erm
[01:12] <Asc> I hope he meant to do that
[01:12] <Zambezi> I did a terrible mistake. I installed a Etchpackages. This happens when I try to upgrade. Is it screwed? Is the only way a full reinstallation? http://pastebin.ca/296165
[01:12] <JosefK> HighLife, googling because I haven't got them installed here yet either ^^
[01:12] <HighLife> alrighty
[01:12] <serishema> hi i'm having trouble with NetworkManager in gnome.
[01:12] <HighLife> np
[01:13] <derrik> ssmasood g2g, hope that helps though
[01:13] <serishema> i installed it, then i rebooted and when gnome was loading it said "A required resource is not found. Network Manager cannot continue"
[01:13] <logivision> much better... i think
[01:14] <logivision> THANK YOU ALL FOR HELPING MY ARSE OVER AND OVER !!
[01:14] <JosefK> HighLife, I'm not having much luck finding anything, I used to have a script to do it - i'm knee deep in Ruby on Rails atm, if I get a chance I'll put it together again this weekend
[01:14] <Russ1> I followed this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=201902 to set up my Broadcom 4306 wireless card on a newly installed ubutu 6.10 system. Neither wlan0 nor eth1 show up in the network manager. Any ideas?
[01:14] <Turgon> Thank you, HymnToLife and n2diy. nix_ferret: I didn't want an account with no password and permanent admin rights available. Would there be a problem if I try to change just the password from nothing to some word for the root user?
[01:15] <HighLife> alright
[01:15] <HighLife> whats the best way to get it from you?
[01:15] <JosefK> HighLife, keep poking me in here ^^
[01:15] <HighLife> haha alright
[01:15] <JosefK> HighLife, I'll stick it on my FTP when it's done
[01:15] <n2diy_> Turgon, by all means, give root a password.
[01:16] <nix_ferret> Turgon, I believe the pass is actually "root password"
[01:16] <HighLife> alright
[01:16] <eitan> after a fresh 6.10 ubuntu install, my internal sd card reader on my laptop doesn't respond...would love someone to help me
[01:16] <theflyingfool> does anyone know why with network-manager i get a lower signal strength and frequent disconnects but when i dont use it my strength tends to be higher
[01:16] <nix_ferret> Turgon, fyi, you can password yhe boot grub
[01:16] <nix_ferret> the*
[01:16] <HighLife> I guess ill be back over the weekend to prod you for it :P
[01:17] <JosefK> hehe, okay man, let me know if you manage to find a repository with pre-built ffmpeg packages too
[01:17] <Anderson1> when I try to man a command, I am getting an error "man: cannot set the locale: make sure the $LC_* and $ANG are correct
[01:17] <HighLife> ill be looking into it
[01:17] <Asc> I need to sudo chroot [folder] , but when I try it says that /bin/bash is not found.  Anybody know why?
[01:18] <tonyyarusso> !info ffmpeg | JosefK
[01:18] <ubotu> ffmpeg: multimedia player, server and encoder. In component universe, is optional. Version 3:0.cvs20060823-3.1ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 175 kB, installed size 612 kB
[01:18] <ChevronX> I have a tff font, I need to install, how do I do it?
[01:18] <rus1> I'm trying to set up my Broadcom 4306 wireless card. I used this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=201902 but wlan0 doesn't show up in network manager. Any ideas?
[01:18] <JosefK> it's crippled tonyyarusso
[01:18] <tonyyarusso> JosefK: how so?
[01:18] <w3ccv> Asc, after you chroot'd that'swhere the new root is, and /usr probably isn't in it.
[01:18] <Turgon> Hehe thanks you both for your advice i'll google how to password protect the grub =)
[01:18] <tonyyarusso> JosefK: You may also check Seveas' repo then.
[01:18] <harrisony1> !fonts ChevronX
[01:18] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fonts ChevronX - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:18] <JosefK> tonyyarusso, proprietary codecs, and the x264 it's built against has been broken for a while
[01:19] <harrisony1> !font ChevronX
[01:19] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about font ChevronX - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:19] <JosefK> tonyyarusso, just looked there, couldn't find anything :(
[01:19] <tonyyarusso> :(
[01:19] <w3ccv> Asc, basiclly you've cut yourself off from the rest of the system
[01:19] <ChevronX> !font
[01:19] <ubotu> Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer
[01:19] <Asc> w3ccv: Well, it has bash in folder/bin.  Hmm....
[01:19] <nix_ferret> Turgon, yes, that would be a better idea. Also, you can hide boot options until the right pass is entered
[01:19] <ChevronX> thanks
[01:20] <harrisony1> ChevronX, /usr/share/fonts/truetype
[01:20] <ChevronX> thanks
[01:20] <w3ccv> Asc, what is your $PATH and what did you chroot to?
[01:20] <Turgon> ok :)
[01:20] <theflyingfool> why do i lag more since i started using network-manager
[01:21] <HighLife> Also is there anyone here who is good with sound cards
[01:21] <Music_Shuffle> theflyingfool, as unhelpful as this might sound, you might just want to consider NOT using it then :P
[01:21] <HighLife> cus i still cant seem to get mine to work
[01:21] <Music_Shuffle> !anyone | HighLife
[01:21] <ubotu> HighLife: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[01:22] <Asc> w3ccv: $PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games:/usr/X11R6/bin.  The folder is /home/asc/folder.
[01:22] <n2diy_> theflyingfool: Just a wild guess, but you have added another layer between your machine, and the network?
[01:22] <HighLife> haha Well my card has worked in the past and im just looking for someone to help me get it back up
[01:22] <w3ccv> Asc, you changed root to /home/asc/folder  right?  is there a bin/bash in folder
[01:22] <Asc> w3ccv: I'd think that having /bin in the path before chrooting would make the folder/bin programs work.
[01:23] <nix_ferret> Asc, don't you need to include the path to the shell in there?
[01:23] <Asc> w3ccv: yes, there is.
[01:23] <funkyHat> HighLife, still not that helpful, we can help you better if you give us info, like what soundcard you have, what you've changed since it was last working
[01:24] <HighLife> alright srry bb in 20 dinner is calling :)
[01:24] <JosefK> success ^^
[01:24] <Asc> nix_fettet: I just tried adding /home/asc/folder/bin to the path, and it didn't work.
[01:25] <w3ccv> Asc,  a bunch of Qs does folder/lib exist - with a full compliment of libraries.  Is bash a link? is it a statuc copy?
[01:25] <LameBMX> k n e one know how to adjust the clock .. when user dont have the ability to do it
[01:25] <mhuetsch> thanks for the help n2diy... i had been entering those boot options incorrectly. now i can boot consistently, but i believe there's still something incompatible with my current kernel and hardware. i'll go do some more research on getting 2.6.19 to boot
[01:25] <Anderson1> is anyone familiar with the use of xresprobe?
[01:25] <nix_ferret> does that user have x rights on bash?
[01:25] <n2diy_> LameBMX: sudo ntp pool.ntp.org
[01:26] <Anderson1> !xresprobe
[01:26] <ubotu> xresprobe: X Resolution Probe. In component main, is optional. Version 0.4.24 (edgy), package size 16 kB, installed size 96 kB
[01:26] <w3ccv> Asc, I don't have Ubuntu running right now so I can't see what my os looks like.  in you can't find bash, then something is missing (you already know that.)
[01:26] <rus1> Can anyone help with setting up a broadcom wireless card with ndiswrapper?
[01:26] <Asc> w3ccv: yes, there are libraries in folder/lib.  Bash is a static copy.
[01:27] <LameBMX> n2diy, but it will be back when its done .. ive manually updated it before and a reboot set it back
[01:27] <n2diy_> LameBMX: so rebooting is setting you to the wrong time?
[01:27] <nix_ferret> Asc, may sound stupid, but did you put and absolute path to bash (minding to include the first/)
[01:28] <Gunnar_> Question :  I just upgraded from 6.06 to 6.10 and the panels on the left hand side of metacity are gone.  I would like to have my bookmarks back!! Ideas?
[01:28] <LameBMX> yea its settin me to gmt
[01:28] <LameBMX> or whatever
[01:28] <w3ccv> Asc, the commands 'cd' then ls show bin and lib, and more - looks like the system root (sort of)
[01:28] <n2diy_> LameBMX: well, stop rebooting!
[01:28] <Siph0n> didnt gaim auto finish a nickname if u started to type it then put a comma?
[01:28] <Siph0n> nm... it still does :)
[01:28] <LameBMX> im in EST ... time is 7:40pm ... clock says 12:40am
[01:28] <w3ccv> Siph0n,   no a Tab
[01:28] <funkyHat> LameBMX, make sure your system knows it's in EST...
[01:29] <eitan> can anyone see this?
[01:29] <LameBMX> funkyHat, how is that .. i thought i changed all this before
[01:29] <n2diy_> LameBMX: google for system clock and hardware clock, there is a way to sync them.
[01:29] <LameBMX> funkyHat, but it didnt survive
[01:29] <w3ccv>  Siph0n whoops, maybe gaim does I'm using Xchat now  sri
[01:29] <Asc> w3ccv: yes.  The contents of /home/asc/folder seem to be identical to a clean ubuntu install
[01:29] <n2diy_> ! clock
[01:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about clock - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:29] <Siph0n> w3ccv: Actually, its my works email addresses that needs a comma to auto complete :) yea tab is right for gaim too :)
[01:29] <Adium> Has any one ever been able to successfuly configure this with out any errors? http://pgfoundry.org/frs/?group_id=1000086&release_id=255 on dapper
[01:30] <Asc> w3ccv: uh, hmm.  If folder/bin/bash was owned by asc instead of by root, would that cause a problem?
[01:30] <funkyHat> LameBMX, do you dual-boot with windows?
[01:30] <LameBMX> hwtosys --set --date=12/12/12-1:23:45
[01:30] <Asc> er, my second to last message was for xic_ferret
[01:30] <Asc> *nix
[01:30] <LameBMX> funky .. yes but i havent boot back to windows in a long time
[01:30] <eitan> can anyone read this text?
[01:31] <w3ccv> Asc, could be, or the rest of the permissions were wrong, same with bin/  it should be executable
[01:31] <n2diy_> eitan, nope
[01:31] <funkyHat> LameBMX, ah right, I though that could have been the problem
[01:31] <LameBMX> when i try to adjust clock .. i get this: You are not allowed to access the system configuration.
[01:31] <eitan> just wondering...since I've been ignored all day in here..
[01:31] <nix_ferret> Asc, I think it would "have" to be or at least have group +x. Problems? Err, I'm not sure, but it can't bee good.
[01:32] <n2diy_> ! patience | eitan
[01:32] <ubotu> eitan: The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[01:32] <Asc> w3ccv: It won't let me change the permissions on anything.  Maybe trying this on a FAT filesystem isn't a good idea
[01:32] <nix_ferret> Asc, explain to me again why you need a second copy of bash?
[01:33] <funkyHat> LameBMX, are you trying to do this as a user that doesn't have admin rights? :-S
[01:33] <nix_ferret> Can't you use 'useradd' for chrooting?
[01:33] <Asc> nix_ferret: When chrooting, I don't know if it will run the bash in the directory chrooted to, or the one in the old / directory
[01:33] <w3ccv> Asc, yup, working on FAT system is tricky at best - there are no real 'permissions'  think DOS
[01:33] <nix_ferret> with -d option
[01:33] <LameBMX> funkyHat, yea .. and if i do it sudo it didnt help ...
[01:33] <w3ccv> Asc, nix_ferret after chrooting - the old root does not exist! and ther is no way back
[01:33] <Gunnar_> eitan : What's your question?
[01:33] <Asc> Well, I'll see if I can free up enough space.
[01:34] <Asc> For now I've got to go.  Thanks for the help.
[01:34] <funkyHat> LameBMX, sorry, yes you have admin rights, or yes you don't have admin rights?
[01:34] <LameBMX> well sudo -i ... set the var for EST ... it wouldnt auto update time .. so i set hwtime .. then updated systime to hwtime
[01:34] <waran> Hi, got following problem: I bought a new mainboard in this summer (Asrock 939 Dual SATAII) and experiencing a very big Problem using ubuntu regarding to DSL/Internet. Im using neither a router or WLAN or something else. Just a modem connected directly to the OnBoard-LAN. Works good on Windows (so no broken cables). He recognized my card as eth0 and it configured it - but pppoeconf doesn't find the modem (timeout). Is this a known Problem?
[01:34] <tony22> Hi! my usb stick mounts automaticaly on start but is not detected when breezy is allready started. I used dmesg and got " usb 2-2: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4",  what device should i mount i mean what goes after /dev/xxx ?
[01:34] <funkyHat> LameBMX, (i.e. if you do sudo <command> does it work?)
[01:34] <eitan> after a fresh 6.10 ubuntu install, my internal sd card reader on my laptop doesn't respond...would love someone to help me
[01:35] <LameBMX> funkyHat, again .. sudo works ... i hate sudo so i just sudo -i
[01:35] <LameBMX> do what i gotta do
[01:35] <LameBMX> then close term :)
[01:35] <wastrel> tony22:  probably something like /dev/sda  ?
[01:35] <McScruff> fucking samba!!
[01:35] <wastrel> !language | McScruff
[01:35] <ubotu> McScruff: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[01:35] <id__> Hello Every one
[01:35] <McScruff> sorry
[01:35] <funkyHat> LameBMX, fair enough... that rules that one out too :(
[01:35] <funkyHat> erm
[01:35] <h3xis> tony22, probably /dev/sda1
[01:35] <tony22> wastrel, how do identify instead of guessing?
[01:35] <Gunnar_> eitan : sd card reader ?  What is that ?  ( Sound card ? )
[01:36] <wastrel> tony22:  lsusb perhaps
[01:36] <h3xis> tony22, do you have SATA?
[01:36] <id__> I want to install Nvidia driver, but when I run it it wants me to do 2 things. First is to kill x server and second is to run the program in runlevel 3
[01:36] <eitan> Gunnar_: oh, its those small memory cards that hold about 1 gb
[01:36] <nix_ferret> secure digital - aka flash/camera mem
[01:36] <wastrel> what does sata have to do with it?
[01:36] <tony22> h3xis, yes !
[01:36] <quasar8888> I cannot play DVD movies I have Totem movie player and Gtstreamer codecs installed. Totem still says I need plugins to play movie
[01:36] <h3xis> tony22, then it might be /dev/sdb1
[01:36] <wastrel> ah
[01:36] <h3xis> wastrel, everything
[01:36] <wastrel> well i am totally ignorant of sata :] 
[01:36] <h3xis> XD
[01:37] <tony22> h3xis, thx, but how can i look for the device next time? Would like to learn something too you know :)
[01:37] <h3xis> tony22, you dont as far as i know. you just know
[01:37] <h3xis> tony22, ive been using linux since redhat 7.2 and have just had to "look"
[01:37] <LameBMX> !sound
[01:37] <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
[01:38] <waran> !adsl
[01:38] <ubotu> Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE
[01:38] <id__> can any body tell me how to kill x server
[01:38] <Jeruvy> stopx
[01:38] <waran> ok. Point 1 fails :(
[01:38] <h3xis> tony22, really you have to take SATA devices into account
[01:38] <n2diy> id__:  ctrl+alt+backspace
[01:38] <tony22> h3xis, w8 "dmesg | removable" got me this :  "sd 5:0:0:3: Attached scsi removable disk sde"  :)
[01:39] <h3xis> tony22, ah, forgot it was already mounted :)
[01:39] <LameBMX> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 should be added to that list ... time to backtrack cuz i may be able to fix my time from that (it worked for my sound lol)
[01:39] <Gunnar_> eitan : Sorry..  I don;t have any idea about that.  You may want to start by digging around in the /proc filesystem.  look /proc/pci /proc/devices and don't forget that there are the HOWTO's located at (http://howtos.linux.com/howtos/HOWTO-INDEX/categories.shtml).
[01:39] <funkyHat> LameBMX, hwtime should be set to UST (GMT) so maybe try doing that manually and see what happens?
[01:39] <id__> nediy: Thanx and can you please tell me how to switch to runlevel 3 becuase when i execute driver it says you are in runlevel 1 switch to runlevel 3
[01:40] <LameBMX> /etc/group ... is where lots of fun stuff is stored
[01:40] <LameBMX> funkyHat, then windows goes ballistic
[01:40] <LameBMX> :/
[01:40] <tony22> h3xis, so now i just mount it on a catalogue in /media/ right? - isnt there a command to issue that makes usb redetct all usb-devices to see what is not detected and mounted yet?
[01:40] <quasar8888> What does Totem Movie Player need besides Gstreamer codecs to play dvd's ?
[01:40] <n2diy> id__: sudo init 3, then when you want to come back, init 5
[01:41] <h3xis> tony22, using fstab, yes, but i dont know about redecting usb devices
[01:41] <dfr> Guys, how do I find which device to supply to upsmon if my ups is connected via usb?
[01:41] <funkyHat> LameBMX, ah... yeah. Hm. I remember on RedHad and debian installs there was always an option whether to have the hwclock set to UST or local (in case you had Windows too), but I don't know how to do it after boot... maybe dpkg-reconfigure something?
[01:41] <jshadow> There used to be an options dialog for adding include directories in Anjuta, but it seems to be gone in Edgy, does anyone know where this moved?
[01:41] <waran> funkyHat, windows won't go ballistic. Just make sure you set GMT as timezone as well there
[01:41] <funkyHat> (anyone know how to do that? re-run the installation)
[01:41] <nelsonuwp> what did I do wrong? I downloaded 6.10 from ubuntu.com and i burned it to a cd and it comes up as 6.06 live CD?
[01:41] <tony22> wastrel, h3xis  - thanx guys/girls
[01:41] <funkyHat> waran, no, LameBMX wants EST as his timezone
[01:42] <IndyGunFreak> nelsonuwp, are you sure it ws 6.10?
[01:42] <nelsonuwp> yes
[01:42] <nelsonuwp> i went to the download page
[01:42] <id__> n2diy: last time when i tried it, it started x server again. I was doing this in recover mode
[01:42] <waran> funkyHat, no problem. Windows can handle timezones :P
[01:42] <funkyHat> *re-run the settings you get asked for on installation (or at least the settings for the clock)
[01:42] <nelsonuwp> it even says 6.10 on the file name
[01:42] <funkyHat> waran, yes, but Linux wants the system clock set to UST, windows wants it set to local
[01:42] <n2diy> id__: tried what?
[01:42] <IndyGunFreak> nelsonuwp, only other thing i can figure, is the file got screwed up so9mewhere
[01:43] <funkyHat> waran, we need to tell ubuntu to set the system clock to local too (I know you can do it but I don't know how)
[01:43] <IndyGunFreak> obviously the 6.06 iso was accidentally renamed and linked as 6.10
[01:43] <Jeruvy> funkyHat: you mean UTC
[01:43] <HighLife> Alright so I needed help with my sound card It's a ALC655 (uses the AC'97 Audio codec).  It worked on my last ubuntu install, but when I decided to reinstall ubuntu it couldnt find the device. Any Ideas?
[01:43] <nelsonuwp> hmm.
[01:43] <nelsonuwp> do you know where i can dlownload 6.10 besides ubuntu.com?
[01:43] <nelsonuwp> or a known 6.10 dl site?
[01:44] <nix_ferret> nelsonuwp, torrent
[01:44] <bruenig> nelsonuwp, why do you need another cite?
[01:44] <funkyHat> Jeruvy, that's the one ;)
[01:44] <bruenig> site*
[01:44] <IndyGunFreak> well, i downloaded Xubuntu 6.10 last night, and it worked fine.
[01:44] <Jeruvy> nelsonuwp: you can try the many linux distro repo's
[01:44] <IndyGunFreak> yeah, torrent would be my next guess
[01:44] <h3xis> nelsonuwp, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive
[01:44] <nix_ferret> torrent is usually pretty snappy with the nix distros
[01:44] <Jeruvy> nelsonuwp: ya, torrent too :)
[01:44] <id__> n2diy: I tried this init3 in recovery mode. It started the gui.
[01:44] <Sobiech> lo
[01:45] <n2diy> id__: weird, try init 1, but be careful there.
[01:45] <nelsonuwp> torrent from where
[01:45] <nelsonuwp> isohunt?
[01:45] <nelsonuwp> any favorite sites?
[01:45] <bruenig> nelsonuwp, the torrents are on ubuntu.com too
[01:45] <id__> n2diy:ok you told me how to kill x server. then how to restart it back again to normal
[01:45] <IndyGunFreak> the torrents should be on the ubuntu site i imagine
[01:45] <nelsonuwp> k
[01:46] <nix_ferret> nelsonuwp, check ur IM
[01:46] <n2diy> id__:  init 5, or according to you init 3
[01:47] <funkyHat> n2diy, why not sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop?
[01:47] <id__> n2diy: I didn't know how to kill the x server so just for experiment I restarted my system in recovery mode. Then I tried this init3
[01:47] <Adium> Has any one ever been able to successfuly configure this with out any errors? http://pgfoundry.org/frs/?group_id=1000086&release_id=255
[01:47] <n2diy> funkyHat: init 3 is earier to type.
[01:47] <klick_> Anyone know which package svn belongs to, i did apt-get install svn and it says can't find package
[01:47] <nelsonuwp> anyone know the ubuntu torrent site?
[01:48] <n2diy> funkyHat: init 3 is easier to type.
[01:48] <Adium> subversion
[01:48] <funkyHat> n2diy, lol.. doesn't it do other stuff though?
[01:48] <Adium> klick_ that was t you
[01:48] <nix_ferret> nelsonuwp, it's called google.com check it out
[01:48] <n2diy> id__: it is init 3
[01:48] <id__> funkyHat:  sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop, is it same as killing x server
[01:48] <dfr> Anyone has an idea which devices in /dev are usb buses?
[01:48] <n2diy> funkyHat: I suppose does, it doesn't reset uptime, I know that.
[01:48] <nelsonuwp> thanks
[01:49] <nelsonuwp> ha
[01:49] <klick_> Adium, thanks
[01:49] <nelsonuwp> sorry

[01:49] <nix_ferret> "I'm feeling lucky"
[01:49] <id__> n2diy: I know :)
[01:49] <Adium> klick_ np
[01:49] <funkyHat> id__, yes, that will stop the X server (or replace gdm with xdm if you're on kubuntu)
[01:49] <funkyHat> *kdm
[01:49] <LameBMX> http://www.playfuls.com/news_05648_HD_DVDs_AACS_Protection_Bypassed_In_Only_8_Days.html
[01:49] <LameBMX> luv
[01:49] <funkyHat> id__, then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start to bring it back up again
[01:50] <Nippoo> hm. that's odd. why the hell does it do what it does when you join channel #2,000 ?
[01:50] <Max-74> salu les fils de pute
[01:50] <id__> funkyHat: I only have to kill x server for Nvidia driver installation, nothing else. I don't want to change my system settings at all
[01:50] <id__> funkyHat: is it save to kill x server?
[01:50] <funkyHat> id__, that won't change any settings, sorry if I confused you
[01:50] <id__> n2diy: is it save to kill x server?
[01:50] <Nippoo> id___ yeah.
[01:51] <eXistenZ> How can I install flash 9 on ubuntu?
[01:51] <Nippoo> apt-get install flash-player?
[01:51] <crimsun> eXistenZ: use flashplugin-nonfree from -backports
[01:51] <funkyHat> id__, if you kill the x server that closes all your windows and you just have a command line, it's perfectly safe
[01:51] <n2diy> id__: yes, it gets killed every time you shutdown.
[01:51] <ubuntu> woo i mounted my hd .. can anyone tell me the easiest way to turn a hoary server into a dapper desktop? i'm not very command litterate so the easier the better. apt-get distro-upgrade didnt seem to take very well. Would install ubuntu-desktop take right to a graphical login? sorry for being confusing
[01:51] <LameBMX> nix_ferret, that just means that when you can buy a HD capable drive ... it will be easier to watch the movie without having to buy some silly media player which would probably be made for windows only anyways
[01:52] <id__> n2diy: Thank you for your help
[01:52] <art_> why my bittorrent never connect to files??
[01:52] <n2diy> id__: nada
[01:52] <id__> funkyHat:Thank you for you help, now I'm going to to try it :)
[01:52] <eXistenZ> crimsun, that's 7, not _9_
[01:52] <funkyHat> id__, good luck :)
[01:52] <crimsun> eXistenZ: I beg to differ, as the flashplugin-nonfree maintainer.
[01:52] <nix_ferret> LameBMX, DRM is a silly, childish concept anyways. Good for them.
[01:53] <Theodor> From where I can download Alien?
[01:53] <id__> funkyHat:n2diy: Please do tell me where I can FIND you if any things goes WRONG :P
[01:53] <Theodor> I need to convert .rpm files to something so I can install it on my Ubuntu ...
[01:53] <pixelmonkey> How does one ensure that a certain (say, removable USB) hard drive always gets mounted in the same place in /media in Ubuntu Edgy?
[01:53] <n2diy> id__: I'll be here for a while.
[01:53] <alex-weej> ubuntu failed to hibernate and now i have no swap space. what can i do?
[01:53] <klick_> edit /etc/fstab
[01:53] <wastrel> hello
[01:54] <pixelmonkey> klick_, wrong, that's not the answer I'm looking for.  /dev/sd* names can change, fstab doesn't always work
[01:54] <pixelmonkey> klick_, looking for a way in which my actual hardware is uniquely identified
[01:54] <id__> Thank you both of you. brb
[01:54] <crimsun> alex-weej: what do you want to do, recreate the swap space (mkswap, swapon)? fix suspend-to-disk?
[01:54] <art_> i need to open some ports to download files whit btorrent?
[01:54] <klick_> pixelmonkey run a grep on dmesg for the id of your drive and then run a bash script telling it where to mount
[01:55] <pixelmonkey> is Ubuntu still using udev to figure out where a usb disk gets mounted?  It seems to me that now it is using gnome-volume-manager... which I guess is anohter abstraction on top of udev
[01:55] <Rick_Timmis> How about scripting the hotplug daemon
[01:55] <funkyHat> alex-weej, there's a wiki page about your problem I think... just for now though mkswap /dev/yourswappart && swapon /dev...
[01:55] <id__> pixelmonkey: you have to edit /etc/fstab file
[01:55] <alex-weej> funkyHat: can you link the wiki page, please?
[01:55] <pixelmonkey> Rick_Timmis, I think hotplug isn't around either.
[01:55] <id__> but do read before editing.
[01:55] <funkyHat> alex-weej, sure, just finding it
[01:55] <alex-weej> funkyHat: thakns
[01:56] <fabiim> can someone help me ! I'm unique , my ethernet card works with everyone except me .
[01:56] <pixelmonkey> id__, you're saying by using UUID?
[01:56] <funkyHat> pixelmonkey, look up the drive by doing ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid
[01:56] <funkyHat> pixelmonkey, now you've got the drive's UUID you can add an entry to /etc/fstab
[01:57] <quasar8888> I cannot Play DVD Movies using Totem Movie Player. I have installed Gstreamer video and audio codecs and still get a message from Totem requiring plugins. What do I do next ???
[01:57] <pixelmonkey> funkyHat, cool, that works... wasn't sure if non-ext drives get a UUID, but apparently they do
[01:57] <Rick_Timmis> pixwlmonkey  here http://www.linuxpromagazine.com/issue/71
[01:58] <Rick_Timmis> sorry pixelmonkey that should read
[01:58] <pixelmonkey> Rick_Timmis, that's cool but iirc hotplug isn't used in edgy, or am I mistaken?
[01:58] <crimsun> pixelmonkey: that's correct.
[01:58] <funkyHat> alex-weej, can't find a wiki page sorry, I should be able to talk you through it though
[01:59] <id__> can any body tell me there diffrence of this repositories: universe, mulitverse
[01:59] <crimsun> !components |id__
[01:59] <ubotu> id__: 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
[02:00] <alex-weej> funkyHat: i know exactly what to do to recreate my swap, thanks, i just want to know some more details on the problem
[02:00] <kelly> hello
[02:00] <Rick_Timmis> pixelmonkey Sure that may well be true, however there is some further reading in Udev scripting which may or may not help you. I am afraid I am more familiar with base debian then edgy, sorry if this doesn;t help
[02:01] <Prometheum> Hello, I'm trying to run cedega on edgy 64, I have it installed fine, but any time I try to install a game I can autodetect all the information from the disc, but then nothing happens.
[02:02] <funkyHat> alex-weej, the problem is because edgy doesn't use the /dev/hd names in fstab by default, it uses UUIDs, and the UUID for the swap/resume partition doesn't get configured properly when upgrading from dapper (and maybe not when installing? or changing swap settings)
[02:02] <alex-weej> funkyHat: that is not the problem at all
[02:02] <alex-weej> funkyHat: it's ok
[02:02] <alex-weej> funkyHat: thakns for your help
[02:02] <kelly> happy new year all
[02:02] <rogue780> how do I make it so the monitor doesn't automatically blank out after a while?
[02:03] <funkyHat> alex-weej, I think you need to edit the RESUME= value in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d as well as fstab
[02:03] <IndyGunFreak> anyone know how to block access to Myspace Instant Messenger?
[02:03] <funkyHat> alex-weej, oh right... sorry :$
[02:03] <Prometheum> Can anyone help me with implementing the 32-bit compatability libraries?
[02:04] <n2diy> IndyGunFreak: ktog ?
[02:05] <alex-weej> funkyHat: actually, you were right! although my fstab was correctly updated, my resume config was actually blank! :E
[02:05] <alex-weej> funkyHat: cheers for the pointer
[02:06] <bieb> can someone help me configure a dial-up modem on my father's IBM R31 laptop? I have him convinced that Linux is the way to go, I just need to have the modem working
[02:06] <HymnToLife> !winmodem
[02:06] <ubotu> You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DialupModemHowto
[02:07] <funkyHat> alex-weej, :)
[02:07] <rogue780> how do I make it so the monitor doesn't automatically blank out after a while? I'm using openbox and not gnome, so i'd need to do it mroe by the command line
[02:07] <n2diy> bieb: what version, 6.06?
[02:07] <klick_> anyone know which package uudecode belongs to
[02:07] <bieb> N2diy, yes 6.06
[02:07] <creek> hello
[02:07] <funkyHat> IndyGunFreak, block access to myspace.presence.userplane.com
[02:08] <cwillu> rogue780: still there?
[02:08] <n2diy> bieb: good, click on system-admin-networking
[02:08] <IndyGunFreak> funkyHat, ok... you think that will do it?
[02:08] <funkyHat> IndyGunFreak, actually *myspace.presence.userplane.com should do it
[02:08] <pixelmonkey> I am able to mount my drive using mount /media/backup as defined in fstab, but gnome-volume-manager still mounts it under /media/usbdisk... how do I tell it to wake up?
[02:08] <cwillu> rogue780: look at xset
[02:08] <Valmarko> Is there a way to improve sound quality? When I'm using Windows sound playback is much better
[02:08] <IndyGunFreak> ok, i'm gonna write this down, its not for me.
[02:08] <rogue780> cwillu: thanks
[02:08] <cwillu> Valmarko: can you be more specific?
[02:08] <IndyGunFreak> my parents re having probs with a wayward teen
[02:08] <funkyHat> IndyGunFreak, yeah, userplane manage the real-time chat and status stuff for myspace so that should do the trick (you could block the whole of userplane but you probably don't need to)
[02:08] <IndyGunFreak> i'd just unplug the dang thing, but its not my call.
[02:09] <Rug> Ack, help.  I have just done a reinstall this time to edgy, and now X just displays garbage on the screen.  I have run the dpkg-reconfigure, and edited my xorg.conf down to nill, all to no avail.  The last config attempt locked up my PC (solid red-screen in X untill I could swap tty's and kill it).  Any Advice?
[02:09] <bieb> n2diy.. one sec, grabbing the laptop
[02:09] <IndyGunFreak> funkyHat, thanks for the info,
[02:09] <funkyHat> IndyGunFreak, no problem :)
[02:09] <id__> n2diy: I tried alt+ctrl+backspace
[02:09] <IndyGunFreak> funky, should i put http:// in front of that on the router?
[02:09] <Ropechoborra> How di i run a .vbp ?
[02:09] <Ropechoborra> do*
[02:09] <cwillu> Rug: edgy?
[02:09] <Valmarko> I ont know how to explain but stereo quality. It's kind of 'virtual surround' in windows
[02:09] <Rug> cwillu: yeah
[02:10] <cwillu> one sec Valmarko
[02:10] <Valmarko> ok
[02:10] <cwillu> Rug: try turning off composite
[02:10] <rogue780> cwillu: do you know how I can find the name of the display?
[02:10] <n2diy> id__: yea, and ?
[02:10] <id__> n2diy: It killed the x server but no comman prompt came
[02:10] <Rug> cwillu: ok one sec...
[02:10] <creek> someone here who can help me to solve a probleme? i am trying to install atp-get install pure-ftpd-mysql but after this i am not able to connect to the ftp server
[02:10] <cwillu> rogue780: DISPLAY=:0.0 xset <whatever> should do, but if you run it in an xterm, the DISPLAY var should already be set
[02:10] <id__> n2diy: where I could excute any command
[02:10] <alex-weej> what should an /etc/fstab contain these days? i only have /proc :F
[02:10] <bieb> n2diy... ok.. I have clicked Netowrking
[02:10] <funkyHat> IndyGunFreak, no, just *myspace.presence.userplane.com is most likely to work
[02:11] <cwillu> alex-weej: that sure doesn't sound right
[02:11] <n2diy> id__:  that should give you a login screen, you need to use init 3 to get to a CLI
[02:11] <funkyHat> IndyGunFreak, play around though if it doesn't work :)
[02:11] <cwillu> Valmarko: you mean the 3d surround effect thingy that some windows drivers have?
[02:11] <Rug> cwillu: composite is not "on"
[02:11] <cwillu> (makes it sound richer)
[02:11] <n2diy> bieb, ok, highlight the dialup option, and edit it.
[02:11] <Valmarko> yes. I think soo
[02:11] <cwillu> Rug: edgy has it on unless you explicitely turn it off
[02:11] <bieb> ok
[02:11] <id__> n2diy: ok let me try again
[02:12] <cwillu> Rug: one sec, I'll find the magic incantation for you
[02:12] <rogue780> cwillu: rgr that, I was being kind of an idiot
[02:12] <Rug> cwillu: right now I am CLI only.  Xorg has no mention of it
[02:12] <rogue780> my bad
[02:12] <bieb> I have it enabled, phone number is in, username and password,
[02:12] <cwillu> Section "Extensions"
[02:12] <cwillu>        Option "Composite" "0"
[02:12] <cwillu> EndSection
[02:12] <Rug> cwillu: I'll look again
[02:12] <cwillu> Rug: that'll turn it off if you put that section in your xorg.conf
[02:12] <bieb> then modem is set to /dev/ttyS0
[02:12] <quasar8888> I cannot get my Totem Movie Player to play DVD's. I have installed Gstreamer codecs and still get error message from Totem asking for plugins. What do I do ?
[02:12] <Rug> cwillu: ahh Got it.
[02:12] <cwillu> Valmarko: I'm looking at the alsa stuff right now

[02:13] <bieb> then I have all 3 options set under "Options" tab, since this laptop will only connect to the internet via modem
[02:13] <Valmarko> I understand.
[02:13] <cwillu> Valmarko: have you look at the prefs in the big volume control panel?
[02:13] <Valmarko> No
[02:13] <cwillu> Valmarko: also, look at alsamixer (run that in a terminal)
[02:13] <quasar8888> what does restricted formats mean ?
[02:14] <Valmarko> cwillu: ok then. tnks again
[02:14] <cwillu> I believe there's some 3d sound effect stuff in there, I just haven't played with it before (it's not shown in the normal mixer by default, but you can turn on the control in the prefs)

[02:14] <id__> n2diy: No luck. It killed x server and I was presented the graphical login screen.
[02:14] <freeeeeez> im sort of new to linux but not that new

[02:14] <freeeeeez> but i cant find a good irc client
[02:14] <n2diy> id__:  and what happens with init 1
[02:15] <cwillu> quasar8888: it's formats that aren't free for anybody to use for various reasons
[02:15] <freeeeeez> im using xrc but it didn't install proplerly
[02:15] <alex-weej> anybody got a stock Edgy fstab they can paste me?
[02:15] <cld2> if I intend to install mythtv on an amd64 box is there any reason to use either the x86 or the 64bit install of ubuntu?
[02:15] <freeeeeez> and now my package mannager wont update

[02:15] <n2diy> bieb, no I didn't, what settings?
[02:15] <quasar8888> Should i uninstall Gstreamer ?
[02:15] <cwillu> alex-weej: depends on how your harddrive is formatted
[02:15] <id__> n2diy: I pressed alt+ctrl+backspace. GUI killed but after 3 4 seconds I was presented with graphical login.
[02:16] <freeeeeez> it says it is impossible to install or unistall any software because of some source thing.. but this only happened after i tried to install xirc
[02:16] <alex-weej> cwillu: i don't care about physical disks

[02:16] <cwillu> quasar8888: what doesn't work?

[02:16] <cwillu> alex-weej: one sec
[02:16] <n2diy> id__:  I know, you need to open a terminal, and type sudo init 3, or sudo init 1.
[02:16] <alex-weej> cwillu: thakns
[02:16] <bieb> under General, I have it enabled with phone number.. username and password, Modem is set to ttyS0, Options has all 3 selections since the laptop will not connect to the internet except via modem

[02:17] <quasar8888> yes I have installed ugly
[02:17] <freeeeeez> all the programs i got besides skype dont work
[02:17] <freeeeeez> and then that happened to synaptic.. then i unistalled alot of programs and then synaptic worked again
[02:17] <freeeeeez> should i just reinstall?
[02:17] <quasar8888> Totem stillsays I need plugins
[02:17] <cwillu> this should work:  /dev/hda1  / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
[02:17] <id__> n2diy: done! what's next
[02:17] <cwillu> quasar8888: so you did?  then there's one more thing still to do
[02:17] <alex-weej> cwillu: i need all the other setups, /dev/shm and /proc, etc.
[02:18] <quasar8888> listening
[02:18] <IndyGunFreak> freeeeeez, i won't go into automatix here, but what was you rproblem with it, it works great for me.
[02:18] <cwillu> quasar8888: one sec, looking for it
[02:18] <Rug> cwillu: That didn't help.
[02:18] <freeeeeez> nothing download right
[02:18] <freeeeeez> it all gets erros
[02:18] <pixelmonkey> argh, I have tried everything but gnome keeps mounting it as /media/usbdisk and not /media/backup like I want?  What magic incantation does it want in fstab!? :-)
[02:18] <freeeeeez> errors
[02:18] <freeeeeez> im using edgy by the way
[02:18] <n2diy> id__: I don't know, you wanted to get out of X, now your there.
[02:18] <SurfnKid> can you record rp streams thru linux
[02:18] <SurfnKid> with a media recorder?
[02:18] <cwillu> quasar8888: /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh
[02:18] <SurfnKid> then save to wmv or another format
[02:19] <freeeeeez> also the media codects worked to.. but nothing else in automatix works for me
[02:19] <n2diy> id__: what are you trying to do?
[02:19] <cwillu> Rug: still dieing
[02:19] <id__> n2diy: oh you thought am out of x server. No man I entered the command and nothing happened
[02:19] <freeeeeez> and now my synaptic is all fucked

[02:19] <freeeeeez> i cant update anymore
[02:19] <freeeeeez> is there any irc client i can get with apt get
[02:19] <cwillu> Rug: do you get any further if you choose vesa as your driver when you dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[02:19] <bieb> n2diy.....under General, I have it enabled with phone number.. username and password, Modem is set to ttyS0, Options has all 3 selections since the laptop will not connect to the internet except via modem
[02:19] <Rug> freeeeeez: irssi

[02:19] <cwillu> Rug: (not a final solution, but should give a working setup)
[02:20] <id__> n2diy: I want to install Nvidia driver. It's installation requirements are x server shouldn't be running and setup should be run at runlevel 3.
[02:20] <Rug> freeeeeez: apt-get install irssi

[02:20] <freeeeeez> thanks rug

[02:21] <quasar8888> thank you
[02:21] <freeeeeez> apt get wont even work now!
[02:21] <n2diy> bieb, go back to the network dialoge, and activate the interface.
[02:21] <freeeeeez> i get this error
[02:21] <freeeeeez> You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
[02:21] <freeeeeez> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[02:21] <freeeeeez>   xchat: Depends: libdbus-1-2 (>= 0.60) but it is not installable
[02:21] <freeeeeez>          Depends: tcl8.4 (>= 8.4.5) but it is not going to be installed
[02:21] <freeeeeez>          Depends: xchat-common (= 2.6.4-0ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed
[02:21] <alex-weej> cwillu: yes
[02:21] <cwillu> alex-weej: shouldn't need anything else, except maybe cdrom
[02:21] <freeeeeez> E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
[02:21] <Rug> cwillu: yeah, that gave me a desktop.  Thanks
[02:21] <bieb> I have never used dial-up on ubuntu
[02:21] <cwillu> Rug: sweet
[02:21] <cwillu> Rug: what type of vidcard?   i810?
[02:21] <Rug> cwillu: Nvidia 6600GT
[02:21] <cwillu> weird
[02:21] <eilker> hi, /dev/hda1 /media/hda1 vfat defaults,utf8,umask=007,uid=0,gid=46,noauto,rw,nouser 0 1  // i dont want to be checked filesystem in this drive, it takes too much time in booting, what can i do ?
[02:21] <Rug> yeah
[02:22] <cwillu> Rug: sorry, don't know much about nvidea;  only dealt with intel and ati so far
[02:22] <n2diy> id__: that is what init 3 does, it takes you to run level 3
[02:22] <eilker> it is win xp drive
[02:22] <Rug> freeeeeez: try typing:   sudo apt-get -f install
[02:22] <cwillu> could try installing the nvidea proprietary drivers though, ubotu will have a link
[02:22] <cwillu> !nvidea

[02:22] <LameBMX> ahhhh finally got snow working
[02:22] <bieb> n2diy...how do I tell it to connect?
[02:22] <bieb> I have never used dial-up on ubuntu

[02:22] <n2diy> bieb, go back to the network dialoge, and activate the interface.
[02:22] <freeeeeez> thanks guys

[02:23] <LameBMX> :))
[02:23] <Rug> cwillu: It's just edgy that is giving me a hard time.  I've been using Nividia fine since "Warty"
[02:23] <pixelmonkey> I have edited my fstab to contain a UUID-based entry for my removable drive and mount it in /media/backup.  If I run mount /media/backup, this works in my user account now.  However, gnome-volume-manager still mounts the drive in /media/usbdisk when it's plugged in.  Any ideas?
[02:24] <cwillu> eilker: I believe either the 0 or the 1 specifies whether to check the disk;  do a "man fstab" in a terminal, and it should tell you which
[02:24] <bieb> n2diy...  It is activated
[02:24] <n2diy> bieb, did it dial and connect?
[02:24] <bieb> no
[02:25] <Novanosis> need help in installing gtk-gnutella. I know how to do the easy DEB files but not this .tar.gz?

[02:26] <lilly> i have problem with ndiswraper. when i sudo modprobe ndiswrapper i get a fatal error inserting ndiswrapper
[02:26] <n2diy> bieb, could that be because you haven't told it to do anything? All we asked it to do was dial out? Maybe you should open a browser, and see if you can surf the net? :)
[02:27] <ckintner> my external hdd is mounted read-only ... now i have some problems ... howto make /dev/sda rw? chmod 0777 doesn't work ;)

[02:29] <h3xis> LameBMX, yes
[02:29] <tonyyarusso> LameBMX: run 'gconf-editor', apps > nautilus,something, uncheck 'show mounted drives'
[02:30] <n2diy> LameBMX: h3xis, been one of those nights.
[02:30] <nelsonuwp> so has anyone in here downloaded 6.10 from the internet?
[02:30] <nelsonuwp> if so where?
[02:30] <LameBMX> i have another question ... if there is possibly a bug ... but i like how it does things ... should i submit a bug report?
[02:30] <n2diy> h3xis: is that a Ham call?
[02:30] <nelsonuwp> because everything i download happens to be 6.06 live?
[02:31] <h3xis> what?
[02:31] <lilly> nelsonuwp: after u boot into livecd, u ahave a install icon on ur desktop?
[02:31] <Novanosis> hello need help installing a tar.gz file extension
[02:31] <lilly> need help with ndiswrapper. when i modprobe ndiswrapper, i get error inserting ndiswrapper, and ndiswrapper.ko: an invalid argument
[02:32] <n2diy> h3xis: is that a Ham call?
[02:32] <LameBMX> ie ... im running the beryl svn .. and sometimes things dont work too well ... so i didnt add baryl-manager to my session ... and i just run it in a terminal ... and if i open a couple more terminals .. the one beryl-manager is running in disappears (which is fine by me after things are running fine .. if i need to recreate a bug in it i can always re-run it in a terminal and make the same change)
[02:32] <h3xis> n2diy, wth is a ham call?
[02:32] <LameBMX> but i dont thing the terminals are susposed to behave that way and just randomly disappear
[02:32] <nelsonuwp> oh haha thanks
[02:32] <lilly> :)
[02:32] <kelly> hey
[02:32] <n2diy> h3xis: ham radio, n2diy is my call, so I guess you aren't a ham if you don't know what it is. :)
[02:33] <h3xis> n2diy, guess not haha ;)
[02:33] <freeeeeez> eh well that fixed my problems.. but when i installed irssi nothing showed up in applications on the tool bar

[02:39] <freeeeeez> thanks everyone..
[02:39] <freeeeeez> soon i will have a screen shot of my automatix problem
[02:39] <freeeeeez> but i will be back in a few
[02:40] <HymnToLife> freebse, Automatix is the problem by itself
[02:41] <freeeeeez> whats wrong with automatix
[02:41] <freeeeeez> should i just not use it
[02:41] <hastesaver> !automatix | freeeeeez
[02:41] <ubotu> freeeeeez: 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
[02:42] <freeeeeez> ok then i wont use it
[02:42] <IndyGunFreak> !worksforme
[02:42] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[02:42] <Novanosis> !flash 9
[02:42] <ubotu> flash9 is available from dapper-backports and edgy-backports now, see !backports
[02:42] <Novanosis> !backports

[02:43] <freeeeeez> im glad i got xchat working.. i spend alot of time in irc.. maybe i can deal with ubuntu after all
[02:43] <jisatsu_> I installed lighttpd, but when I try to start it, it complains about php4-cgi not being there. how do i tell it to use php5-cgi instead?
[02:44] <LameBMX> freeeeeez, mirc used to run really good in wine :)
[02:44] <freeeeeez> well i think xchat will do
[02:44] <LameBMX> but im too lazy for that at the moment so ill just deal wit xchat
[02:44] <freeeeeez> what are some good apps i should get for bit torrent and p2p
[02:44] <IndyGunFreak> freeeeeez, check your private message
[02:44] <lilly> how do i check that my wireless is working
[02:45] <cockroach> hi. i'm currently trying to install ubuntu (booted from the cd), but even though dmesg and Xorg.log both contain lines which indicate that my mouse was found, the pointer doesn't move...
[02:45] <freeeeeez> i did indy
[02:45] <freeeeeez> u did not respond
[02:46] <jisatsu_> nevermind, I just created a symlink, hopefully that should work ok

[02:47] <eitan> hey guys, i'd like help in mounting an SD card from my internal reader on my laptop..
[02:47] <eitan> mmc_core               32136  1 tifm_sd
[02:47] <eitan> this is the entry in lsmod
[02:47] <freeeeeez> what is good for bitt torrent?
[02:47] <freeeeeez> apt get only though
[02:47] <hastesaver> freeeeeez, it's pretty easy to register, just do /msg NickServ help register
[02:47] <freeeeeez> i know
[02:47] <freeeeeez> i have registered on other chats
[02:48] <freeeeeez> i have  +h in some rooms
[02:48] <freeeeeez> i will register soon
[02:49] <hastesaver> freeeeeez, for me at least, Freenode is about the only server that matters, so registering on Freenode is much more likely than anywhere else :-) Sorry
[02:49] <freeeeeez> lol k
[02:49] <tenco> hi
[02:50] <tenco> i have a problem with suspend to ram and gnome. it works with kde, but with gnome the laptop doesnt even suspend
[02:50] <HymnToLife> maybe the feature was too confusing and got removed :p
[02:51] <hastesaver> HymnToLife, that's really very likely :-)
[02:51] <tenco> no suggestions?
[02:51] <tenco> which script does kde call to suspend?
[02:53] <un_operateur> tenco, what's to say it's a script -- it might as well be ACPId, if not, something like klaptop
[02:54] <tenco> un_operateur: it uses ubuntus acpi framework, because changes to /etc/default/acpi-support have effect on kde's suspend app
[02:54] <tenco> un_operateur: so it should sth independent of gnome/kde
[02:54] <tenco> s/should/should be/
[02:54] <nothlit_> freeeeeez, theres no halfops on freenode
[02:54] <freeeeeez> oh
[02:55] <freeeeeez> like i said.. im not on freenode alot
[02:55] <freeeeeez> mi on slashnet
[02:56] <moab_> tenco_:I am having the same issue on a compaq evon610c....what laptop are you working with?
[02:56] <tenco> moab_: toshiba satellite a100-512. suspend to ram worked with kde, but not gnome
[02:57] <un_operateur> tenco, maybe this'll start something off -- http://www.gnome.org/projects/gnome-power-manager/
[02:57] <tenco> hmm, it's installed
[02:58] <ProN00b> nuuuuu
[02:58] <nix_ferret> moab_, What's ur issue? I have a n610c and ubuntu works pretty well.
[02:59] <ProN00b> i just reencountered the bug where icons loose their propertys if you move them on the icon bar
[02:59] <tenco> in /etc/acpi/sleep.sh there is:
[02:59] <tenco> # If gnome-power-manager or klaptopdaemon are running, let them handle policy
[02:59] <tenco> maybe gpm cannot handle that policy as well as klaptopdaemon
[02:59] <nix_ferret> I can't standby, but hibernate works fine
[03:00] <moab_> nix_ferret:just the man i am looking for...it will not come back from suspend...requires hard reset..ubuntu 6.10
[03:00] <harrisony1> are there any issues with having ubuntu installed and installing kde with it
[03:00] <sergiolib> no no
[03:00] <nix_ferret> moab_, "hibernate" or "standby"
[03:00] <moab_> nix_ferret:standby
[03:01] <nix_ferret> moab_, haha, well... I haven't been able to get that to work. lol. Guess I'm usless.
[03:01] <nix_ferret> Hibernate works fine, however.
[03:02] <nix_ferret> I can make it standby, but it won't wake up.
[03:02] <moab_> nix_ferret:exactly....oh well the search continues  ;-)
[03:02] <nix_ferret> I'm wondering if the acpi call it needs is linked to that other button
[03:03] <nix_ferret> the circle thingy
[03:03] <nix_ferret> But I bet comsmack has some sort of proprietary garbage to make it send the right signal
[03:03] <moab_> nix_ferret:i have been poring over acpi documents all day....my head is starting to hurt....i have a group of techs meeting here tonight...i think we will work on it some more
[03:04] <xnlotoc> hello

[03:04] <eilker> !sata

[03:05] <eilker> is sata2 hd removeable  when computer is working ?
[03:05] <Music_Shuffle> What about SATA?
[03:05] <Music_Shuffle> If your board/drives support Hot-swap.
[03:05] <nix_ferret> moab_, check ur msg
[03:06] <eilker> Music_Shuffle>:is it same for sata too not sata2 ?
[03:06] <xnlotoc> does anyone have trouble with their linksys wpc54gs wirelass network adaptor
[03:06] <Music_Shuffle> SATA in all forms is hot-swap if the drives/board support it..
[03:07] <eilker> thank you
[03:08] <tenco> i think i found sth. sth strange:

[03:10] <tenco> derrik: sudo bash
[03:10] <hope13> sudoku?
[03:10] <freeeeeez> sweet i got automatix to work good
[03:10] <freeeeeez> i think anyway
[03:10] <plypkie> tenco: ooo...you have a satellite a100?
[03:10] <tenco> HymnToLife: why?
[03:10] <plypkie> tenco: i just got a satellite a100-ta2
[03:10] <tenco> plypkie: phoenix bios?
[03:10] <plypkie> ya
[03:11] <HymnToLife> well, uless you use sudo
[03:11] <plypkie> tenco: you're trying to suspend-to-ram in gnome?
[03:11] <tenco> HymnToLife:  root@satellite:~#
[03:11] <un_operateur> freeeeeez, you dont need automatix to run ubuntu, it's not a very stable package (or doesnt contribute to ubuntu's stability)
[03:11] <tenco> plypkie: yeah, worked with kde
[03:11] <plypkie> i think mine works, hold on
[03:12] <freeeeeez> oh sorry i didn't know
[03:12] <freeeeeez> its just easy i guess
[03:12] <plypkie> ok, i used the gnome power management applet, right-clicked and chose suspend
[03:12] <tenco> plypkie: i already configured /etc/default/acpi-support in such a way that i could suspend with kde
[03:12] <plypkie> now let's see if it comes back to life ;)
[03:13] <plypkie> yup, it came back to a locked screen where i typed in the password
[03:13] <plypkie> Works For Me(tm)
[03:13] <Ha2> Where can I find the python interpreter on my filesystem, and how do I run it?
[03:13] <plypkie> Ha2: type "which python"
[03:13] <tenco> plypkie: thats the problem: it doesnt suspend. it goes to system console and then displays the locked screen without any interaction from my side
[03:13] <Ha1> k thanks
[03:13] <plypkie> Ha1: should just be "python" to run it
[03:14] <plypkie> if it's in the path
[03:14] <Ha1> Ok, /usr/bin/python
[03:14] <plypkie> tenco: hmm
[03:14] <Ha1> Now how do I open it/run it?
[03:14] <tenco> plypkie: and i dunno why i cant write to /sys/power/state as root o_O
[03:14] <freeeeeez> is there an apt get for azureus
[03:14] <tenco> plypkie: man, i had it working with kde :)
[03:14] <un_operateur> tenco, IIRC, the sysfs is a read-only fs
[03:14] <plypkie> tenco: using some gui nonsense?  or some command-line stuff?
[03:15] <tenco> un_operateur:  /sys on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
[03:15] <Ebagen02> Hi recently while reinstalling my windows OS my CD-Rom died leaving OS-less. I had been looking into a Linux OS for quite soem time and felt nwowoudl be the best time. Ubuntu seemed like a good begginer Linux OS. I was wondering if someone could either explain in detail or link me to a comprehensive guidon how to intall ubuntu w/o a current OS and or a CD-Rom. I have heard of Booting from floppy and I have a USB CD reader but
[03:15] <derrik> un_operateur: sudo won't work here?
[03:15] <Ha1> Alright, thanks guys, got it working
[03:16] <tenco> plypkie: klaptopdaemon, i think. framework should be the same for kde and gnome. maybe i should revisit my kernel configuration. phps i changed sth important between compiles ^^
[03:16] <plypkie> Ebagen02: if you can find another computer that has a working CDROM Burner, then you could download the Ubuntu installer CD and burn it, then boot your broken computer using that cd
[03:16] <plypkie> tenco: hey, does your Fn button work?
[03:16] <plypkie> tenco: i can't dim the LCD
[03:16] <un_operateur> tenco, i did mention sysfs -- not /sys -- the sysfs filesystem is a virtual file system to depict information about hardware and drivers and so on, I dont see why you'd need to write to iy
[03:16] <tenco> plypkie: ha. no :)
[03:16] <un_operateur> it*
[03:17] <Ebagen02> But the CD-rom in the PC doesn't funtion. THe only CD reader is a USB device which isn't currently recognized...
[03:17] <tenco> un_operateur: to suspend to ram, of course. just look at /etc/acpi/sleep.sh , line 39
[03:17] <bieb> n2diy  no luck. I also followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/SetUpDialer#head-0769b0061bf81bfba710118540bd86223e815761    from the ppp config section. I have the errors from "plog"
[03:18] <Ebagen02> is it possible to boot to a basic Ubuntu OS by floppy (one that could recognize USB devices) then install using an install CD?
[03:18] <tenco> un_operateur: sorry, i dont understand. sysfs is mounted to /sys here
[03:18] <GregoryD> anyone using an Ubuntu machine as an NFS server and successfully gotten their OSX machine to connect?
[03:18] <un_operateur> tenco, unfortunately i dont use gnome or kde or use any power management tools, i don't have that script here
[03:18] <derrik> Ebagen02: Have you seen this site: http://efod.se/blog/archive/2006/11/29/installing-ubuntu-on-a-machine-with-no-cdrom-drive ?
[03:18] <eilker> i have two os, xp and kubuntu, i wanna install one more linux distro... is it possible...
[03:19] <un_operateur> tenco, I think about it like this -- if sysfs exports info about your hardware, it'd be dangerous to make it writable to
[03:19] <ikook1> hi
[03:19] <Music_Shuffle> eilker, of course...
[03:19] <tenco> un_operateur: it reads: "echo -n $ACPI_SLEEP_MODE >/sys/power/state" where $ACPI_SLEEP_MODE is one of "mem" for suspend to ram and "disk" for suspend to disk
[03:19] <Music_Shuffle> eilker, triple booting is done, its just not very common.
[03:20] <bieb> n2diy... you still here?
[03:20] <M06w> hey, any helpers up for a newb
[03:20] <HymnToLife> !ask | M06w
[03:20] <ubotu> M06w: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:20] <nix_ferret> is there a setting to change the input for a wakup from standby?
[03:20] <LameBMX> yea whats up .. activating swap file anyone .. i dont appear to have one lol
[03:20] <Ebagen02> Thank you very muc hfor the site it loks as if that will work :)
[03:20] <LameBMX> !swap
[03:20] <ubotu> swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info
[03:20] <tenco> un_operateur: http://acpi.sourceforge.net/documentation/sleep.html
[03:20] <eilker> Music_Shuffle: drive c and d is for xp , and i have a drive for / , and i have hda6 which is mounted to mount/extra...
[03:20] <M06w> i installed ubuntu from the live disk (downloaded last week) and grub replaced windows
[03:21] <HymnToLife> M06w, GRUB should let you boot Windows
[03:21] <eilker> Music_Shuffle: lets say i made free my hda6...
[03:21] <M06w> im pretty sure all the files are still there but booting to the c drive starts ubuntu
[03:21] <eilker> Music_Shuffle: what about grub ? will i have trouble ?
[03:21] <tenco> now my real problem is, why i cant write on /sys
[03:21] <Music_Shuffle> Not if you set it up right.
[03:21] <Music_Shuffle> M06w, hit the escape menu thing. And then you can choose.
[03:22] <MrMaDSeN> i just hate this shit... can't believe its should be this hard to change default system language
[03:22] <Music_Shuffle> !ohmy
[03:22] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[03:22] <Music_Shuffle> And its really not...are you in Gnome?
[03:22] <aztek> what's the bonus to having a copy of the DVD release image over the CD
[03:22] <ikook1> lol
[03:22] <Music_Shuffle> System -> Administration -> Language Support
[03:22] <M06w> ok, i'l try that, but first i need to get the wireless working in ubuntu, i think it doesnt have the driver for my card
[03:22] <IndyGunFreak> Music_Shuffle, quit trying to suggest its not hard because he doesn't know how to do it, so it must be extremely difficult
[03:23] <MrMaDSeN> Music_Shuffle, in xubuntu....
[03:23] <IndyGunFreak> Music_Shuffle,  i was just sitting here trying to figure out how to compile languages from source
[03:23] <plypkie> tenco: gimme something to try in /sys and i'll see if mine works
[03:23] <MrMaDSeN> IndyGunFreak, well then you tell to get the correct danish alphabet in xterm?
[03:23] <bieb> I am having problems setting up the modem in an IBM ThinkPad R31. I have followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/SetUpDialer#head-0769b0061bf81bfba710118540bd86223e815761    with no luck. I have the errors from "plog"
[03:23] <Music_Shuffle> IndyGunFreak, google is his friend. :P
[03:23] <IndyGunFreak> english works fine for me
[03:24] <Music_Shuffle> Lol.
[03:24] <tenco> plypkie: thx. phps you can give me your mount options for sysfs?
[03:24] <un_operateur> tenco, well, the fact that you can't modify anything under /sys indicates it works differently to other types of file systems -- http://delcom.sourceforge.net/sysfs.txt
[03:24] <IndyGunFreak> Music_Shuffle, lol
[03:24] <plypkie> tenco: it says (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
[03:24] <GregoryD> is there any way I can make sure that NFS has been set up correctly on the server side?  I'm trying to set up an NFS server in Ubuntu and I'm trying to use an OSX machine to see the shares
[03:24] <M06w> soo... where would i be able to find a driver for a linksys pci wireless card, how would i be able to get it off a ntfs usb key that i can't reformat, and how would i install it
[03:26] <bieb> I am having problems setting up the modem in an IBM ThinkPad R31. I have followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/SetUpDialer#head-0769b0061bf81bfba710118540bd86223e815761    with no luck. I have the errors from "plog"
[03:26] <hagabaka> does anyone use crm114 for mail filtering?
[03:29] <{w00t}> does unbuturd has a lightscribe program?
[03:29] <M06w> unbunturd?
[03:29] <crimsun> {w00t}: cdrecord supports lightscribe.
[03:29] <xnlotoc> ubunturd occurs when you have really messed up your ubuntu
[03:29] <sokrates> hahah
[03:30] <GregoryD> okay, has any ever set up NFS under ubuntu to do... well... anything?  this stuff is maddening
[03:30] <xnlotoc> NFS?
[03:30] <M06w> what about when ubuntu seriously screws up the rest of your computer
[03:30] <{w00t}> okay thanks faggot
[03:30] <neurotech> I want to dual boot my machine with Ubuntu and WinXP. I already have Ubuntu installed on a SATA drive and want to install XP on a IDE drive. Is there anything I should do before I start installing XP to the IDE drive?
[03:30] <GregoryD> yeah, I'm trying to set up the ubuntu server as a fileserver
[03:31] <sokrates> anyone familiar with urhm, say ampache?
[03:31] <{w00t}> sokrates, try /rm -rf *
[03:31] <GregoryD> I want to use NFS, although the documentation seems to be just as much an archaic mess as samba
[03:31] <{w00t}> it works wonders
[03:31] <sokrates> hehehe
[03:31] <{w00t}> it solves all ubunturd problems
[03:32] <gephalt> Hi, can someone please help me with identifying the network adapter on my computer? did an lshw and it wont show up.
[03:32] <Bjoern-Erik> Actually, it doesn't do anything at all... The syntax is not correct.
[03:32] <sokrates> {w00t}, well, thing is, I'm looking for something similar - but with an upload function ^;
[03:32] <un_operateur> gephalt, is it a pci device?
[03:32] <gephalt> no, onboard- via
[03:33] <arn0ld> does anyone know a way to slow down the mouse movement manually, the GUI menu for it wont go low enough
[03:33] <MisterMAD> ciao a tutti
[03:33] <un_operateur> gephalt,  that's still pci -- use lspci, it should list your device
[03:33] <arn0ld> its ridiculously fast in games, gotta slow it down a bit
[03:33] <sokrates> {w00t},  is google still my best shot? ;)
[03:33] <un_operateur> sokrates, did you say apache or ampache?
[03:33] <gephalt> un_operateur: strangely enough, when i connect it to an XP machine via cross-over cable, the status of the network adapter in COntrol-> network COnnections shows that its connected.
[03:33] <sokrates> un_operateur, ampache
[03:34] <gephalt> I am guessing that the hardware might be broken- ok, un_operateur- will be back to pastebin the lspci output
[03:34] <un_operateur> sokrates, ahh, google is probably your best shot unless there exists a #ampache channel
[03:34] <sokrates> un_operateur, doh... that's was were I was heading from the beginning ;) thanks man
[03:34] <nix_ferret> Anyone know the effect of enable_laptop_mode=true in /etc/default/acpi-support?
[03:35] <nix_ferret> guess that made everyone leave...
[03:35] <un_operateur> nix_ferret, probably has to do with how hardware seems to enter a state of semi-sleepiness when the power cable is unplugged -- the screen dimming and other devices entering power saving mode, etc
[03:36] <nix_ferret> hmm, it's "false" now, but it dims when I unplug now,
[03:36] <xcbxbxcv> it enables laptop mode (in the kernel) slower writes, spins down hdd etc...
[03:36] <Siph0n> i use to see the wifi radar icon at the top of my screen, but now i dont.... any idea how to get it back?
[03:36] <Kaso> Hi there, i wonder if anyone could help me. Ive recently installed a new Edgy installation and since i edited xorg.conf to get my second monitor working now whenever i try to open a terminal window it just dies silently.
[03:37] <nix_ferret> xcbxbxcv, cool. I don't think I need that.
[03:39] <craigbass1976> I'm trying to mount up an nfs share that is on a fedora box.  mount -t nfs 192.168.0.55:/share/name /mount/point  right?
[03:41] <val__> good evening
[03:41] <un_operateur> craigbass1976, right
[03:42] <val__> may i ask a few rather  newbie questions
[03:42] <gephalt> un_operateur: http://rafb.net/p/3okkn780.html
[03:42] <un_operateur> val__, sure
[03:42] <gephalt> here it is. thats the output of lspci -vv
[03:42] <harrisony1> val__, yes
[03:43] <val__> first, i installed ubuntu before and liked it,,,but i got the wrong version so ill have to start over again,,,,
[03:43] <gephalt> can anyone see an ethernet device here? when i do ifconfig -a all i see is lo and sit0
[03:43] <craigbass1976> un_operateur, then I wonder what the *&%$ is going on.  If I use my fedora laptop, it mounts up fine.  Craig's UID is 500 on both fedora boxes though, and 1000 on this ubuntu rig.  Perhaps that is it.
[03:43] <val__> i wanted to know if you have any recommended boot options for laptops...i remember acpi=off is a good one
[03:44] <craigbass1976> val__, what do you mean the wrong version?
[03:44] <LameBMX> man i love playing with things ... if it wasnt for playin with conky .. i wouldnt have gotten an error that pointed out i had no active swap file lol
[03:44] <un_operateur> gephalt, errm, doesnt look like your card is detected there
[03:44] <val__> craigsbass i had installed the 64 bit version and was having a lot of trouble witht he graphics drivers and drivers for my hardware, which is fairly new i suppose
[03:45] <un_operateur> gephalt, did you say lshw couldnt find it either?
[03:45] <gephalt> nope. there weren't anything like `communication controller`
[03:45] <craigbass1976> val__, ahh...
[03:45] <craigbass1976> ok
[03:45] <gephalt> which was what aI think it'd have been described as.
[03:45] <craigbass1976> un_operateur, you think UID is the problem?
[03:46] <val__> craigsbass....vesa resolution  is ok,,or on a laptop do i select lcd,,,i have a 17 inch display
[03:46] <gephalt> But i have an onboard ethernet jack on the back of the computer to which, when i connect with another PC via cable seems to work.
[03:46] <un_operateur> craigbass1976, i dunno, you seem to have left out a lot of the description of the problem (am i missing posts?)
[03:46] <craigbass1976> val__, No idea.  I'm new at Ubuntu installing.  I've done it a few times, but everything has gone without a hitch, so I'm the wrong guy to ask
[03:47] <gephalt> wait- maybe i need to tweak something in bios... damn - how could i've missed that
[03:47] <craigbass1976> un_operateur, then I wonder what the *&%$ is going on.  If I use my fedora laptop, it mounts up fine.  Craig's UID is 500 on both fedora boxes though, and 1000 on this ubuntu rig.  Perhaps that is it.
[03:47] <jaks> got an nvidia fx5200, do i use aiglx or glx? beryl or compiz?
[03:48] <jaks> ubotu, tell jak about xgl
[03:48] <jaks> ubotu, tell jaks about xgl
[03:48] <un_operateur> craigbass1976, the UID shouldnt matter -- are you mounting via sudo mount? does the mount point exist?
[03:49] <craigbass1976> I've treid both ways (sudo and as root to begin with), and yes, there's a mount point.
[03:49] <gephalt> jaks: think its done like `!xgl`
[03:49] <jaks> what i said worked too!
[03:49] <un_operateur> craigbass1976, try putting an entry into /etc/fstab and then -- sudo mount -a
[03:49] <jaks> =)
[03:50] <Ha2> To type  I need to hit shift and then the  button TWICE< not once

[03:50] <craigbass1976> un_operateur, when I tried once before, the command seemed to hang.  Checking later, I found that it had mounted, but I didn't have access to any of the files.
[03:50] <Ha2> Keyboard layout no doubt
[03:50] <Ha2> But how/where?

[03:52] <un_operateur> craigbass1976, errm, do any of the fedora boxes have permissions problems?
[03:52] <craigbass1976> IndyGunFreak, the linux kernel (2.17 on) has support for the broadcom cards
[03:53] <IndyGunFreak> Siph0n, i'm getting a new to me laptop Tuesday, plan to try and set it up wirelessly
[03:53] <Ha2> val__, you can run then
[03:53] <Ha2> them**
[03:53] <craigbass1976> un_operateur, no.  Works fine with fedora on both ends

[04:21] <triplah> Ha2, how does python not recognise " " as quotes?
[04:21] <harrisony1> cld2, you need a amd64 disc
[04:21] <Ha2> Because they arent quotes
[04:21] <cld2> harrisony1: why am I having a hell of a time finding a link to an amd64 server iso for 6.10? thanks.
[04:21] <Nontitle> wouldn't ' ' be quotes?
[04:21] <harrisony1> marty, i dont know it isnt necessary
[04:21] <Ha2> Um... they even come up as incorrect in spellcheckers and such, and it replaces them with real quotes
[04:21] <marty> harrisony1, I got a message saying the public key isn't available
[04:21] <netboix>  it looks like the last thing in my xorg.0.log file  it has id readeonsave screen(2) before that though it is trying to open and not able to open /dev/wacom/ which i thought i had disabled..
[04:21] <harrisony1> Dot, you might have to try #ubuntu-xgl
[04:21] <Ha2> my  and  characters arent real quotes or apostrophes
[04:22] <triplah> python uses " ",  ' ', """ """ or ''' ''' as quotes
[04:22] <harrisony1> marty, ignore it
[04:22] <harrisony1> cld2, ill look

[04:43] <technel> I downloaded Ubuntu 6.10 about 3-5 weeks ago. As I recall, it was labeled as a beta release, but now I look at the site and it advertises 6.10 as a regular release. Is the one on the site now the same as the one I downloaded a few weeks ago?
[04:43] <mitrovarr> cafuego:  I fear we have a hardware problem here
[04:43] <mitrovarr> cafuego:  My motherboard doesn't support USB keyboards; it says it does, but they don't work until the OS picks up support.
[04:43] <mitrovarr> cafuego:  So it's got both a ps/2 and a USB keyboard hooked up.
[04:44] <cafuego_> mitrovarr: Did you enable usb hid support in the bios?
[04:44] <mitrovarr> cafuego:  Yes.
[04:44] <fokuslee> hi can someone look at my messed up partition real quick?
[04:45] <mitrovarr> cafuego:  It doesn't help.  The keyboards work if you unplug/plug them in during boot, but that's it.  It's just a crappy buggy motherboard from MSI.
[04:45] <cafuego_> mitrovarr: any bios updates available?
[04:45] <mitrovarr> cafuego:  Yes and no.  Yes, they're available, but they're beta and break other stuff.

[04:48] <balutix> what does "ln -sf dash /bin/sh" really do. as i use the commando but nothing happends.
[04:48] <madman91> HOW DO I :: request a new ip address.. so i can skip the rapidshare download limit
[04:48] <harrisony1> marty, whats the error
[04:48] <DBO> madman91, you cant, your ISP controls that
[04:48] <marty> madman91, google other solutions to skipping that limit
[04:48] <tonyyarusso> fyi, if it's a netsplit most clients say *netsplit* or something, _and_ the nicks make sense.  If you see that many joins of randomized nicks, get ready to call us asap just in case :)
[04:49] <harrisony1> madman91 warez=bad!!!!
[04:49] <marty> I know of a javascript injectiong that'd work
[04:49] <marty> harrisony1, one moment
[04:49] <netboix> does anyone use flgrx?
[04:49] <harrisony1> and you need a dynamic ip and for god sake just buy a premium account
[04:49] <marty> You do not have a decoder installed to handle this file. You might need to install the necessary plugins.
[04:49] <richard__> does anyone here know how to uninstall vmware player/server? :P
[04:49] <marty> Ah, it's opening with totem

[04:50] <madman91> marty: is it impossible to do it in linux ?
[04:50] <marty> madman91, no
[04:50] <wikijeff> Is there a limitation on what USB drives work with ubuntu? I'd like to purchase this one, but would like to be sure that it will work. http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Traveler-Flash-DTI-1GB/dp/B000AV14M2/sr=1-1/qid=1167449940/ref=sr_1_1/104-4894288-8747105?ie=UTF8&s=pc
[04:51] <marty> madman91, just google "rapidshare javascript"
[04:51] <harrisony1> wikijeff, most work
[04:51] <dubious9> wikijeff, if it's usb, it should work.  I've never had a problem
[04:51] <IsenMike> hello
[04:51] <dubious9> hola
[04:51] <ken> Good Morning! :)
[04:51] <marty> harrisony1, I'm thinking of giving Automatix a shot
[04:51] <IsenMike> I'm having trouble installing ubuntu
[04:51] <Madpilot> ubotu, automatix | marty
[04:51] <ubotu> marty: 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
[04:52] <fokuslee> automatix is awesome
[04:52] <wikijeff> dubious9, harrisony1: ok thanks
[04:52] <IsenMike> I'm trying to install it on a separate HDD from my windows install
[04:52] <mat__> cannot be installed on your computer type (i386)
[04:52] <harrisony1> marty, yeah automatix will prob work
[04:52] <mat__> sorry what causes that
[04:52] <metroman> Uh oh. I used Automatix.
[04:52] <ken> marty: I recommend not using any kind of scripts as they just delay the reading that you would have to do one day, when you get into trouble with these lousy scripts. So please go through the Ubuntu docs, and do the needful after its just "sudo apt-get blah blah blah blah".
[04:52] <dubious9> why not easy ubuntu?  I've heard some iffy things about automatix
[04:52] <metroman> How do I install new fonts?
[04:53] <harrisony1> !restrictedformats
[04:53] <marty> ...yeah, already gone through all of that
[04:53] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[04:53] <technel> I downloaded Ubuntu 6.10 about 3-5 weeks ago. As I recall, it was labeled as a beta release, but now I look at the site and it advertises 6.10 as a regular release. Is the one on the site now the same as the one I downloaded a few weeks ago?
[04:53] <marty> Maybe it's an issue with viewing Quicktime files?
[04:53] <dubious9> IsenMike, so what's the problem?
[04:53] <marty> But quicktime should be supported by mplay
[04:53] <marty> So I read, at least.
[04:53] <ken> metroman: Open Nautilus and enter fonts:///, and then drag and drop the font that you downloaded
[04:53] <harrisony1> technel, 6.10 has been stable since october
[04:53] <harrisony1> !edgy
[04:53] <ubotu> Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) is the latest version of Ubuntu. Upgrading to Edgy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades - Downloading: http://www.ubuntu.com/download - Release Notes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseNotes
[04:53] <IsenMike> after I get through the install, I change my bios boot priority to boot from the drive I've installed ubuntu on, but instead of booting I get the oh-so-descriptive "error loading operating system" message
[04:53] <marty> Grr, I really dislike the pompous nature of the Linux community... :/
[04:54] <dubious9> marty, yeah mplayer supports quicktime, but only if you have the codecs installed.
[04:54] <harrisony1> marty, quicktime can be iffy
[04:54] <technel> harrisony1, Oh, ok, cool! Thanks
[04:54] <marty> harrisony1, thanks for your help so far.
[04:54] <Madpilot> technel, if you've kept up the updates for the beta release, you now run the full release
[04:54] <marty> dubious9, what's the package name?
[04:54] <ken> marty: Use VLC media player for quick time files
[04:54] <marty> ken, ultimately, mplayer needs to play them
[04:54] <dubious9> marty, mplayer?
[04:54] <marty> so that they can be viewed in firefox.
[04:54] <ken> dubious9: !mplayer
[04:54] <ken> !mplayer
[04:54] <ubotu> mplayer is a media player. Enable multiverse repo and type sudo apt-get install mplayer for more info please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MPlayer  To compile it from source see:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MPlayer/Compile
[04:55] <ubotu> For Codecs try !codecs Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MplayerInstallHowto for installation tips.
[04:55] <marty> Yeah, already installed mplayer and the firefox plugins
[04:55] <cjavier> I'm trying to follow http://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/DEBIAN_Compiling_VDR_Source_Packages, they use svn-buildpackage, but I need to aply some patches to the vdr source, any help how can I do this? at what time and how should I patch the source?
[04:55] <ablyss> the 3gp quicktime format isn't available in vlc for anyone whos intrested
[04:55] <madman91> marty:  i cant find anything that uses java script.. i see the "skip wait time" as in the 40 seconds... but not the download limit
[04:55] <dubious9> ken, thanks but I was just taking a guess at the package name at mplayer ;P
[04:56] <ablyss> actually, the video format is... sorry
[04:56] <dubious9> turns out it's called mplayer ;)
[04:56] <harrisony1> madman91, get a premium account or get your "friends" to upload to a real file host
[04:56] <marty> So, any other ideas on getting this mp4 file to play?
[04:56] <ken> !vlc | marty
[04:56] <ubotu> marty: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Banshee, Beep Media Player, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine  -  See also !codecs
[04:56] <harrisony1> marty, errrr 1 moment
[04:57] <balutix> hmm. Generating package: Ubuntu/edgy
[04:57] <balutix> Requested package is not supported.
[04:57] <balutix> Removing temporary directory: fglrx-install
[04:57] <balutix>  how come?
[04:57] <madman91> harrisony1: thats plan b and c
[04:57] <dubious9> marty, I'd try vlc or mplayer.
[04:57] <madman91> harrisony1: im on plan A
[04:57] <IsenMike> can anybody help me try and figure out what's going wrong with my install?
[04:57] <marty> dubious9, yes, I've already said it needs to work in mplayer, which I already have installed
[04:57] <harrisony1> i like vlc i must say
[04:57] <marty> I like VLC, too.
[04:58] <marty> But I'm trying to get this to work in Firefox, as a plugin
[04:58] <fokuslee> harrisonyl did u get a chance to read my pastebin?
[04:58] <dubious9> marty, ah, have you installed the embedded plugin?
[04:59] <marty> dubious9, what's the package name?
[04:59] <ken> Anyway to troubleshoot extremely SLOW booting time with Ubuntu 6.10? I am running AMD Athlon 2600 XP+, 512RAM, 128MB GPU, 160GB HDD. The splash screens load-up bar freezes at 1/4 place, and stays there for considerable amount of time. Before, the booting bar filled up more or less at a uniform speed. What could be the problem of extremely slow boot-ups? please help
[04:59] <dubious9> mozilla-mplayer
[04:59] <marty> Yep, already installed.
[04:59] <dubious9> does it work from the command line?
[04:59] <marty> It looks like Firefox is trying to use totem, though, oddly enough.
[05:00] <mitrovarr> well, I tried messing with the keyboard settings.  Does anyone know how to change which kernel the installer uses to boot?  Someone who was here last time said that this wa a bug in the amd64 kernels and wouldn't affect the 686 and 386 ones.
[05:00] <marty> dubious9, does what work from the command line
[05:00] <cafuego_> marty: that's not odd, that's default behaviour
[05:00] <marty> cafuego, how is it changed, then?
[05:00] <MistaED> ken: that section is usually filesystem checking afaik, or maybe modprobing of hardware, have you added any hardware recently? even if it's a usb device
[05:00] <marty> Though, I'm not sure that it's necessary to change it.
[05:00] <cafuego_> marty: change media plugins (your alternative would be mplayer)
[05:00] <dubious9> hmm... maybe there are conflicting plugin packages.  what does about:config say in FF?  Oh, and does mplayer play the mp4 from the commandline, or just having trouble in FF?
[05:00] <IsenMike> I tell the install program to wipe the entire spare drive and install on that, the installation seems to go off without a hitch, but when I try and boot from that drive, I get "error loading operating system"
[05:01] <marty> dubious9, when I try opening the downloaded mp4 in mplayer, it won't play
[05:01] <marty> I said that before, too.
[05:01] <marty> ;)
[05:01] <ken> dubious9: cafuego: If i am having totem-plugin, vlc-plugin, mplayer-plugin for MOzilla firefox, and they show in "about:plugins". How do i tell fiefox to use one plugin in preference over to the other one?
[05:01] <ken> MistaED: No hardware added
[05:01] <cafuego_> ken: boot recovery mode and it will show you what it's doing
[05:02] <cafuego_> ken: I do it by removing the totem plugin altogether
[05:02] <ken> cafuego_: And if it takes a long time at a certain process what am i supposed to do? It certainly is taking quite long to boot :(
[05:02] <dubious9> marty, are there a couple of entries for quicktime in /usr/lib/codec?
[05:02] <ken> cafuego_: OK
[05:02] <dmc_> !cups
[05:02] <ubotu> Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[05:02] <nix_ferret> Is the bit-depth setting in the xorg.conf file or is there a gui for it?
[05:02] <dubious9> er /usr/lib/codecs
[05:02] <cafuego_> ken: Then you'll eat least know which bit is taking a long time and you cna take it from there.
[05:03] <DigitalNinja> Is there a simple way to add multimedia support in Dapper?
[05:03] <ken> nix_ferret: xorg.conf
[05:03] <marty> dubious9, yes there are a couple files with "Quicktime" in their name in that folder
[05:03] <dubious9> DigitalNinja, easyubuntu
[05:03] <Xal2> Hi
[05:03] <DigitalNinja> dubious9: Doesn't work
[05:03] <dubious9> DigitalNinja, what are you trying to do?
[05:03] <Xal2> I need to reinstall grub. I tried grub-install /dev/sda but it doesnt work.
[05:03] <MistaED> ken: the ext3 filsystem does a fs check after 30 days, or after 30 mounts so it's probably that
[05:03] <metroman> How do I make Ubuntu read/write a NTFS partition?
[05:03] <ken> cafuego_: Ok so from the GRUB i should select recovery mode and observe the weird commands it throws at me? :)
[05:03] <harrisony1> !multimedia
[05:03] <ubotu> For multimedia codecs see: https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html and for applications see this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications

[05:04] <Intangir> what was that linux tool to scan someones open ports?
[05:04] <h3xis> Intangir, nmap
[05:04] <DigitalNinja> dubious9: I've had good and bad luck with easyubuntu
[05:04] <Intangir> thx
[05:04] <dubious9> marty, hmmm... have you tried looking at the debug output from mplayer?
[05:05] <dubious9> DigitalNinja, so you're trying to get wmv's and the like to work?
[05:05] <harrisony1> IsenMike, run the installed and when the partioner come up choose edit partition table and then choose the 2nd hdd
[05:05] <marty> dubious9, how would I do that?  How do I play a file from the command line
[05:05] <DigitalNinja> dubious9: Yup!
[05:05] <metroman> !fuse
[05:05] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[05:05] <ken> IsseMike: Have you changed the HDDs ports or changed them by making them master/slave AFTER the install?
[05:05] <dubious9> marty, are you familiar with the console?
[05:05] <marty> dubious9, yes, hrm just figured it out
[05:05] <marty> It works from the command line, but not from the GUI.
[05:06] <dubious9> DigitalNinja, what are you trying to play the wmv with?
[05:06] <IsenMike> ken: nope, nothing changed after install
[05:06] <ken> IsenMike: Do you get GRUB?
[05:06] <DigitalNinja> dubious9: Well, we can't play anything because we don't have the codec. I've got it working on other systems but I used esyubuntu
[05:06] <dubious9> marty, the mplayer mozilla plugin is still skechy at best.  I find that a lot of stuff doesn't work.  I just wind up downloading them
[05:06] <IsenMike> harrisony1: I have tried that... would there be any specific settings that installing on a separate HDD needs?
[05:07] <marty> dubious9, I _did_ download it.
[05:07] <IsenMike> ken: nope, all I get when it tries to boot up is the message "error loading operating system"
[05:07] <marty> It still won't play via the GUI
[05:07] <marty> I right click, open with mplayer
[05:07] <marty> No go.
[05:07] <dubious9> DigitalNinja, *anything*?  As in, you can't play avi's or video at all?  or just windows stuff
[05:07] <mgardner> hello all, I have a question about running configure with the build-essentials.  It bails on me when it gets to GTK+ checking
[05:07] <ken> IsenMike: OK, there are no seperate setting for doing a seperate HDD install! I am having windows/ubuntu one two seperate HDDS
[05:07] <harrisony1> IsenMike, settings??
[05:07] <mgardner> shouldn't gtk+ stuff be around?
[05:07] <ken> IsenMike: Tell me which is the master and which is the slave?
[05:08] <harrisony1> mgardner, what you trying to cinouke'\
[05:08] <dubious9> marty, ok so now you can just play it from the console.  or install the mplayer-gui to play it
[05:08] <IsenMike> ken: is the message "Error loading operating system" something that Ubuntu would be likely to give?  Or is that my bios talking?
[05:08] <harrisony1> *compile
[05:08] <mgardner> ya
[05:08] <marty> dubious9, yes, clearly I've already done that
[05:08] <harrisony1> what prog
[05:08] <marty> It won't WORK within the GUI.
[05:08] <marty> It's saying it can't open the selected output device
[05:08] <DigitalNinja> dubious9: We can't do any multimedia because we don't have the codecs
[05:08] <dubious9> marty, when you say GUI, do you mean the mplayer GUI or firefox?
[05:08] <ken> IsenMike: Tell me is Windows-master or Ubuntu is master?
[05:08] <IsenMike> ken: I have three drives total.  The windows drive is on an SATA channel.  The Linux drive is the slave on the second IDE chain
[05:08] <tonyyarusso> LoRez: Something coming?
[05:08] <harrisony1> mgardner, what program you compiling
[05:09] <marty> mplayer
[05:09] <mgardner> harrisony1: http://fsv.sourceforge.net/
[05:09] <marty> Why would I refer to Firefox as Mplayer?
[05:09] <dubious9> DigitalNinja, that doesn't sound right, you should be able to open free codecs no prob.
[05:09] <mgardner> harrisony1: FSV
[05:09] <ken> IsenMike: And you installed GRUB on Ubuntu's HDD or Window's HDD?
[05:09] <marty> I can't open the mp4 file in mplayer.
[05:09] <marty> via the GUI.
[05:09] <balutix> detected version of X does not have a matching 'x710' directory
[05:09] <balutix> You may override the detected version using the following syntax:
[05:09] <balutix>      X_VERSION=<xdir> ./ati-driver-installer-<ver>-<arch>.run [--install]      where can i find the X_version and where is the <xdir>?

[05:10] <fokuslee> Hi could someone look at my messed up partition?
[05:10] <tonyyarusso> LoRez: ah
[05:10] <IsenMike> ken: I don't know anything about GRUB.  I went through the ubuntu installer and told it to install everything on the slave drive of the second IDE chain
[05:10] <dubious9> marty, oh, sorry, I was a bit confused.  I thought you were trying to get it to work via the mozilla-mplayer plugin
[05:10] <BHSPitLappy> Is it possible to save a list of all the packages installed in synaptic, so that those packages may be easily re-installed on a different system? I know this is possible for current CHANGES, but what about your overall selection of installed programs?
[05:10] <marty> That comes later - it's the ultimate goal.
[05:10] <harrisony1> mgardner, can you pastebin the errors ..infact paste bin everything (as infrome build-essentual to the end)
[05:10] <brandon_> what can i do if my system seems laggy?
[05:10] <IsenMike> ken: possible it installed GRUB on the master drive of that chain?
[05:10] <mgardner> harrisony1: I'm getting that right now, one sec
[05:10] <harrisony1> who ever had the messed up partition yes ill look

[05:10] <dubious9> marty, ok I see.  wierd.
[05:10] <marty> It says, error opening the selected video_out device
[05:10] <ken> IsenMike: You know how to make a HDD master/slave?
[05:11] <fokuslee> harrisonyl lol soo many pplz need ur help
[05:11] <fokuslee> harrisony1,  thx in advance
[05:11] <BHSPitLappy> nalioth, nifty. thanks.

[05:11] <harrisony1> fokuslee, yes its very hard typing and trying to help everyone
[05:11] <dubious9> DigitalNinja, is there anything in /usr/lib/codecs?
[05:11] <ken> IsenMike: You know about the jumpers in a HDD, that you can change to make a driver master-slave?
[05:11] <mgardner> harrisony1: here is the url http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39408/
[05:12] <IsenMike> ken: yeah... pretty sure this one is set to cable-select... should it be set differently?
[05:12] <DigitalNinja> dubious9: I don't have to look because we didn't install them. Can't have what you didn't install
[05:12] <M06w> how do i set up my wireless card to connect to a wpa encrypted network
[05:12] <marty> IsenMike, both should be set to CS, in your case
[05:12] <DigitalNinja> dubious9: We need to know how you install them with out using easyubuntu
[05:12] <harrisony1> fokuslee, /dev/hda1 is an extended partition so the first logical partition, /dev/hda5, should be at the beginning of that extended partition. Therefore, you have two logical partitions, /dev/hda5 & /dev/hda6

[05:13] <dubious9> DigitalNinja, oookay.  Well, there are a bunch on the mplayer website.  That's how I did it in the old days ;)
[05:13] <IsenMike> marty: I believe they are
[05:13] <harrisony1> mgardner, errr
[05:13] <LameBMX> what u tryin to do digip1mp
[05:13] <ken> IsenMike: Do this, make Ubuntu's HDD as Master and windoze as slave and then try to boot-up the PC
[05:14] <dubious9> IsenMike, have you tried going into the bios setup right when the computer starts to see which drive is the master?
[05:14] <IsenMike> ken: the windows drive is an SATA drive, it's not on the same chain as the drive I'm trying to install to, which is IDE
[05:14] <marty> Gah, I can't deal with this
[05:14] <dubious9> ken, won't that screw with window's bootloader?
[05:14] <dubious9> or can grub deal with that?
[05:14] <marty> dubious9, GRUB can deal with that
[05:14] <IsenMike> the other drive that is mastered to the drive I'm trying to install to is just a data drive... my main system drive is SATA
[05:14] <M06w> does grub stand for something, or is it just a random word
[05:14] <ken> dubious9: My windows runs as slave, the Windows HDD never knows that it is slave GRUB simply chainloads the windows bootloader
[05:15] <LameBMX> grub can handle it .. but i think you gotta remap the drive order before windows boots viz grub
[05:15] <ken> IsenMike: Sorry, i can't help you anymore
[05:15] <fokuslee> harrisony1,  so there is nothing wron rite?
[05:15] <LameBMX> but it dont matter cuz IDE & SATA controller fudges stuff up in bios
[05:15] <dubious9> M06w, huh, never really though about it ;)
[05:15] <harrisony1> mgardner, try install libgtk2.0-dev
[05:15] <marty> mplayer won't work in GUI, says it can't open the selected video_out
[05:15] <IsenMike> ken: am I confusing my terms here?  SATA drives aren't master or slave, right?  It's just one drive connected by one cord to the mobo.
[05:15] <harrisony1> fokuslee, as that forum members post said no everyones partitions are like that
[05:15] <M06w> hey dubious, do you know how to set up the wireless?
[05:15] <DigitalNinja> dubious9: There is a way to install the packages for all the codecs. Mp3 etc...
[05:16] <SurfnKid> hi does anyone know anytning about the ./thumbnails folder?
[05:16] <SurfnKid> would it hurt if I delete the contents
[05:16] <DigitalNinja> dubious9: I'm searching. For some strange reason no one knows how to do this
[05:16] <SurfnKid> its taking up a s*** load of space
[05:16] <harrisony1> SurfnKid, nup
[05:16] <fokuslee> harrisonyl ok thx thx
[05:16] <dubious9> DigitalNinja, hmm... maybe there's something in the non-free repository
[05:16] <fokuslee> : )
[05:16] <M06w> last time i set it up i had to edit some files to make the wpa work, but that was a distro ago
[05:16] <cafuego_> IsenMike: Yeah, they're kinda all masters.
[05:16] <harrisony1> SurfnKid, but it will regenerate it self so you can turn off thumbnails in naultilus
[05:16] <harrisony1> and mgardner install libgtk1.2-dev as well
[05:16] <SurfnKid> ah
[05:16] <SurfnKid> ok
[05:17] <Xbehave> surfn id guess it wouldnt but if u use thumnail previews it will slow down opening folders that have them as it will fill them again
[05:17] <skarface> is there a command that will tell me about the processor?
[05:17] <DigitalNinja> dubious9: I've tried all kinds of stuff. Not there. Need to add extra repositories
[05:17] <harrisony1> mgardner, then try recompile it again :)
[05:17] <IsenMike> so does ubuntu have to boot from a master drive?
[05:17] <M06w> no
[05:17] <LameBMX> IsenMike, no
[05:17] <SurfnKid> Xbehave, i see
[05:17] <dubious9> DigitalNinja, ok, what are you using to try and open the files?
[05:17] <LameBMX> IsenMike, you would be much better off to trust ubuntu to make and install to space on your sata drive
[05:18] <DigitalNinja> dubious9: I'm not trying to open the files. I'm trying to get the codecs and the applications to open the files
[05:18] <SurfnKid> harrisony1, thanks man
[05:18] <M06w> why does ubuntu fail at self partitioning external(usb) drives
[05:18] <mwalker_mewconsu> i just reinstalled Ubuntu, how do I enable all repositories?
[05:18] <masked> is the ipw3945 driver that is inclded with edgy from kernel sources, and/or does it use the built-in ieee 80211 stack from the kernel?
[05:18] <ken> IsenMike: I can't be of any more help to you as a SATA drive is not something i am familiar with
[05:18] <DigitalNinja> dubious9: There is a long list of software that needs to be installed before you can do any multimedia
[05:18] <IsenMike> there isn't any space on the SATA drive... and it's already partitioned.  I guess I could move stuff around though
[05:19] <dubious9> DigitalNinja, oh ok.  Are you on hoary, or dapper?
[05:19] <LameBMX> IsenMike, what about movin stuff to that ide drive?
[05:19] <harrisony1> SurfnKid, thats why were here, to help!
[05:19] <SurfnKid> hehe of course
[05:19] <DigitalNinja> dubious9: dapper
[05:19] <LameBMX> IsenMike, its not good to have stuff you want to keep on the same harddrive as a windows install
[05:19] <violot> Any idea why my friend would get: nidswrapper: No Version found when running ndiswrappere in Edgy?
[05:19] <dubious9> DigitalNinja, is there nothing installed under Applications->Sound & Video?
[05:19] <LameBMX> IsenMike, or a nix install as far as im concerned
[05:19] <masked> anyone know?
[05:19] <harrisony1> violot, doing what
[05:19] <violot> Just running "nidwrapper"
[05:19] <violot> We installed the -utils and -common packages
[05:20] <harrisony1> !nidwrapper
[05:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nidwrapper - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:20] <masked> violot: cos ndiswrapper is crap
[05:20] <violot> How do I get the connection then?
[05:20] <masked> get a real wifi card
[05:20] <IsenMike> lameBMX: all of my data is on a separate partition on the system drive, so if I need to reformat I only loose the os
[05:20] <harrisony1> !ndiswrapper
[05:20] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:20] <DigitalNinja> dubious9: You don't get it. I don't have any codecs installed. How can I play an mp3 file if I don't have the software to play an mp3 file
[05:20] <violot> It's my friends
[05:20] <masked> violot: what sort of card is it?
[05:20] <dubious9> IsenMike, I like that approach.
[05:20] <masked> sioif your going to use linux, use hardware that is supported by it.
[05:20] <LameBMX> IsenMike, dont trust windows to handle partitions correctly .. i already made that mistake myself one
[05:20] <LameBMX> once
[05:21] <IsenMike> i'm noticing now that it's in an "extended" partition, though, which, I believe, means that changing the partition structure to add linux to it is going to be sort of a pain, yes?
[05:21] <dubious9> DigitalNinja, well you should be able to open a bunch of stuff without having to install anything extra from the default install.  Do you have a couple sample mp3 that you want to play/
[05:21] <LameBMX> can we say between sector bounderies .. then gentoo overwrote the mft because it didnt know that half a sector was a different partition
[05:22] <masked> is the ipw3945 driver that is inclded with edgy from kernel sources, and/or does it use the built-in ieee 80211 stack from the kernel?
[05:22] <LameBMX> thats what i get for using windows tools lol
[05:22] <violot> masked: I'm trying two ones, one for my friend, one for my dad (Our laptop)
[05:22] <dmc_> !ogg DigitalNinja
[05:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ogg DigitalNinja - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[05:23] <DigitalNinja> codec
[05:23] <masked> violot: take it in te cash converters and tell them it's worth $100
[05:23] <dubious9> mp3!
[05:23] <IsenMike> can anybody explain to me (or point me in the direction of a site that explains) the differences between "logical," "primary," and "extended" partitions?

[05:23] <masked> violot: well, too bad.
[05:24] <masked> violot: ndiswrapper is a waste of time imho.
[05:24] <kyncani> IsenMike: wikipedia i guess ?
[05:24] <brandon_> how can I install wine?
[05:24] <violot> So basically the companies are assholes for not creating Linux drivers/releasing source code...
[05:24] <h3xis> no
[05:25] <masked> violot: yeah, and most the other chipsets are shit anyway
[05:25] <h3xis> they dont have to release them
[05:25] <violot> They should.
[05:25] <violot> They are immoral.
[05:25] <h3xis> that's debateable
[05:25] <violot> Yes, I am an extremist.
[05:25] <alexander_> sup all
[05:25] <nix_ferret> such language... good work.
[05:25] <violot> Yes, I side with RMS
[05:25] <M06w> how do i get the install files for ndiswrapper for edgy from this computer to my ubuntu computer, if this is windows, and i dont have any blank CDs
[05:25] <h3xis> when did RMS say all companies should be forced to provide drivers for linux?
[05:25] <dubious9> brandon_, sudo apt-get install wine
[05:25] <alexander_> when installing ubuntu 64bit to mac intel machine do i delete all partitions? inc EFI boot?
[05:26] <dubious9> brandon_, what are you trying to run?
[05:26] <masked> lol
[05:26] <seamus7> Hi.. i have an Intel Pro Wireless 3945 ... it's not being recognized in my Edgy installation .. at some points in installing various software I have gotten this error: Warning: Module ........ ipw3945.ko is not an elf object
[05:26] <brandon_> counter-strike/steam
[05:26] <violot> M06w, I transferred it by pen drive
[05:26] <brandon_> E: wine package has no candidates
[05:26] <violot> Although they didn't work, I transferred it by pen drive
[05:26] <M06w> I have one of those, but its ntfs, or whatever that is
[05:27] <violot> Mine is too
[05:27] <nix_ferret> brandon_, I think I used automatix, but it not looked apon well here...
[05:27] <Madpilot> !info wine
[05:27] <M06w> so it would still load, even without samba?
[05:27] <ubotu> wine: Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (Binary Emulator and Library). In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.22-0ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 9001 kB, installed size 42452 kB

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
[05:27] <violot> ?
[05:27] <violot> Just plug in the flash drive
[05:27] <Madpilot> brandon_, do you have the Universe repo enabled?
[05:27] <brandon_> what is automatix?
[05:27] <brandon_> i don't think so
[05:27] <Madpilot> ubotu, universe | brandon_
[05:27] <ubotu> brandon_: 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
[05:27] <brandon_> actually i have all repos enabled
[05:27] <M06w> well i'l try that
[05:27] <LameBMX> IsenMike, check pm
[05:28] <dubious9> brandon_, I'm not sure that wine supports that.  But I'm pretty sure cedega does.  http://www.transgaming.com
[05:28] <Madpilot> brandon_, if you've got Universe enabled, you should be able to apt-get wine
[05:28] <cockroach> is it normal that the ubuntu installer takes several hours just to install the base system? (it's just a k6-III, but still...)
[05:28] <dubious9> brandon_, cedega isn't free, but you can get the binary for 5 bucks last I checked.
[05:28] <brandon_> Package wine is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[05:28] <brandon_> i'd like wine
[05:28] <Xbehave> if you go to the wine website you can see the guide to get cs working, its not too hard, if that fails you can go back and look at the other options
[05:29] <DigitalNinja> What happened to freecontrib
[05:29] <brandon_> first i need wine though
[05:29] <tonyyarusso> !plf | DigitalNinja

[05:29] <dubious9> brandon_, wine is good for stuff that isn't 3d intensive.  if you want to get it working, I'd suggest cedega
[05:29] <winmutt> hi
[05:29] <winmutt> how can i install ubuntu without a cdrom and no terminal?
[05:29] <brandon_> i want to use wine
[05:29] <brandon_> GAH!
[05:29] <winmutt> mount the alternate cd?
[05:29] <Xbehave> your best of going to winehq 1st seing if its worth it, ive had cs worknig in wine no problems
[05:29] <winmutt> wine sucks
[05:29] <winmutt> cedega got my money
[05:30] <winmutt> what a waste
[05:30] <brandon_> wow
[05:30] <LameBMX> ummm you system is pretty crashed if you dont have a terminal winmutt
[05:30] <dubious9> Xbehave, ok great.  I didn't know that.  I just know that cedega tends to have better support for games.
[05:30] <brandon_> what does this mean.. Package wine is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[05:30] <Xbehave> also at winehq (i think) you can add the wine repo to get the latest wine
[05:30] <LameBMX> cedega rocked last time i used it
[05:30] <brandon_> do I need something else first?
[05:31] <LameBMX> but thats been a while ago
[05:31] <brandon_> what does this mean.. Package wine is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[05:31] <Madpilot> brandon_, usually, it means there is something wrong with your sources.list - could yo pastebin that?
[05:31] <Xbehave> dubious, cedega is wine with support and people getting it working for you,(i think never installed it myself) but at the core its just wine
[05:31] <mitrovarr> yay, I finally managed to get ubuntu to boot on my new system!  Only took a month!
[05:31] <brandon_> what folder is it in?
[05:31] <slicky> soudblaster live and linux = bad choise?
[05:31] <Madpilot> brandon_, /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:32] <dubious9> Xbehave, right, but I though it was actually a fork.  I.e. they have code that the mainline wine doesn't
[05:32] <cafuego_> slicky: mine works fine
[05:32] <slicky> cafuego_: okey
[05:32] <brandon_> http://pastebin.ca/296403
[05:32] <LameBMX> mitrovarr, first linux install?
[05:32] <nix_ferret> What types of main stream apps have all of you been able to get working in wine?
[05:33] <bigfuzzyjesus> Does anyone here have a thinkpad R51
[05:33] <dubious9> mitrovarr, congrats!  welcome to the club ;)
[05:33] <mitrovarr> LameBMX:  No, extremely ugly hardware problems.  Ubuntu hates my motherboard, IDE controller, and video card with a burning passion.
[05:33] <winmutt> how can i install ubuntu without a cdrom and no terminal?
[05:33] <LameBMX> ouch
[05:33] <LameBMX> yea took me a week to get a fakeraid install
[05:33] <dubious9> winmutt, do you have ssh access to the machine?
[05:33] <Madpilot> ubotu, install | winmutt
[05:33] <ubotu> winmutt: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[05:33] <winmutt> dubious9 ya
[05:34] <dubious9> windtw, what's currently on there now?
[05:34] <mitrovarr> LameBMX:  To get it to boot the magic sequence was:  Take the drive off the JMB361 controller and turn it off.  Turn off USB keyboard support.  Boot into safe mode and download the NVIDIA 8800 drivers and install them outside of X.
[05:34] <brandon_> Madpilot: did you catch that
[05:34] <dubious9> er winmutt, what's on there now?
[05:34] <Madpilot> brandon_, catch what?
[05:34] <brandon_> the pastebin of my sources.list
[05:34] <LameBMX> ahhh fun fun ... just turnin the controller off in bios didnt work?
[05:34] <seamus7> What is an elf object?
[05:34] <Madpilot> brandon_, ah, the pastein - got it - just a sec
[05:35] <mitrovarr> LameBMX:  Well, it complains a lot if it's on.  And drives on it don't show up.
[05:35] <LameBMX> my first install .. gentoo .. took a while ... wound up have to select os by which sata controller i booted from in bios
[05:35] <dubious9> brandon_, oooh, you're running the 64 bit version?
[05:35] <brandon_> yeah
[05:35] <LameBMX> thats why i was soo happy to get this fake raid workin
[05:35] <brandon_> and it seems slow
[05:35] <brandon_> lol
[05:36] <mitrovarr> LameBMX:  I've installed it on other computers before actually.  I just can't believe all the terrible hardware problems I had this time. It's been nasty.
[05:36] <winmutt> dubious9 : gentoo
[05:36] <LameBMX> mitrovarr, yea i meant just turning the controller off instead of off and removing the drive
[05:36] <Madpilot> brandon_, I don't run 64bit, but there are issues w/ 64bit + wine
[05:36] <winmutt> tired of emerge -uDN world headaches
[05:36] <dubious9> brandon_, sorry I don't have much expirience with that.  I've got a 64 bit chip myself, and I'm running the 32 bit version.  It seems to work out better that way for me.
[05:36] <winmutt> cant take it anymor
[05:36] <Xbehave> dubious your right it apears cedega has been developed beond wine, and wine only supports x86 i think
[05:36] <mitrovarr> LameBMX:  Oh, well, if I have to turn the controller off, I have to hook the drive up elsewhere after all.
[05:36] <LameBMX> ahh lol
[05:36] <LameBMX> fun fun
[05:37] <dubious9> winmutt, lol I feel your pain.  there should be instruction for an ftp install on the website, but I've never personally done it before.
[05:37] <brandon_> i'm hesitant to want to run 32bit
[05:37] <dubious9> brandon_, why?
[05:37] <brandon_> because i want a 64bit worlds
[05:37] <brandon_> world*
[05:37] <winmutt> im looking
[05:37] <winmutt> it cant be that hard
[05:38] <winmutt> ive done it before
[05:38] <netboix> could anyone tell me what composite extensions are?
[05:38] <LameBMX> brandon_, then just run 2 32bit programs at the same time lol
[05:38] <seamus7> Hi I get a Warning my intel pro wireless 3945 .ko file not being  an elf object .... is this why my wireless card was never recognized when I installed Edgy ... i thought I had read it would be.
[05:38] <dubious9> brandon_, hehe, yeah but I think right now it's a pipe dream.  There's no real compelling reason to run the 64 bit AFAIK.  and lot's of drawbacks
[05:38] <gili> what is a good audio conversion program for gnome...?
[05:38] <brandon_> name the drawbacks
[05:39] <gili> i want to conver APE tracks to WAV/MP3....anyone?
[05:39] <dubious9> brandon_, well, driver incompatabilies for one.  Most software is still very much 32bit.  There are a bunch of bugs on the 64 side
[05:40] <brandon_> would audio fall in that category?  i get a lot of audio popping?
[05:40] <Madpilot> brandon_, most of the 64bit issues are w/ propietary stuff - there's no Flash for you, for one thing
[05:40] <dubious9> brandon_, yeah, exactly that.  I can't say for sure it's the cause but it's a leading contender.
[05:41] <dubious9> brandon_, long story short, if it's a server a install the 64 bit.  But if it's a multimedia workstation (aka home computer) stick with the 32.
[05:41] <cockroach> is there a way to install ubuntu in text-mode?
[05:41] <BHSPitLappy> cockroach, download the Alternate CD.
[05:41] <netboix> cockroach: i think of the alternate cd
[05:41] <dubious9> cockroach, yes.
[05:41] <cockroach> okay, thanks
[05:41] <dubious9> !install
[05:41] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[05:41] <brandon_> I'll just wait for the flash and updates
[05:41] <BHSPitLappy> cockroach, you'll see it at the same place you'll find the other ISOs
[05:42] <dubious9> cockroach, in fact it was the default installation mechanism before hoary.
[05:42] <brandon_> i dont think that because i'm on 64 i'm getting the audio problems
[05:42] <brandon_> or that 32 will cure it
[05:42] <dubious9> brandon_, you could always just try the 32 bit live cd and see if the audio pops still happen
[05:43] <cockroach> dubious9: sounds good. somehow the graphical installer doesn't seem very stable, or perhaps it's just my machine...
[05:43] <brandon_> i've done some research and nobody said anything about the difference
[05:43] <netboix> brandon_:  I dont understand you seem deadset for 64 bit no matter what people say I would say try the 32bit and see if it cures your problems
[05:43] <netboix> i am sure a lot of people in here are on 64 bit proc and are running 32 but os's
[05:43] <brandon_> the 64bit live cd, i couldn't hear any popping
[05:43] <brandon_> it's worth a try, but it's more configuring
[05:44] <brandon_> waiting is good too
[05:44] <netboix> lol yah
[05:44] <Asc> I'd like to format a file which exists on a filesystem, as ext3 so that it can be mounted.  How might I do so?
[05:44] <dubious9> brandon_, I'm just speaking from personal experience.  Right now, from what I've seen, the 32 bit is easier to work with.  You shouldn't feel "cheated" because you're running a 32 bit OS
[05:45] <brandon_> I realize this
[05:45] <dubious9> Asc, I believe what you want you look into are loop-back devices.  if memory serves correctly
[05:46] <Asc> dubious9, that sounds about right.
[05:46] <M06w> i just tried the 1spci command, as instructed in the ndiswrapper instructions, and it said the equivolent of invalid command
[05:46] <rookie> lspci, not 1spci
[05:46] <dubious9> Asc, you should be able to google that or page through the mount manual to get a couple hints.
[05:46] <brandon_> but dubious9, the only real  problems with it are flash, wine, and well i can't think of any others because i have to cancel out the sound being one
[05:46] <M06w> some one might want to make a note of that, the font on teh site makes it look identical

[05:47] <gili> what is a good audioconverter for gnome?
[05:48] <Asc> dubious9: Looking into the google connection.  What's this about a mount manual though?
[05:49] <dubious9> Asc, >man mount
[05:49] <__mikem> dubious9 type man woman, its funny
[05:49] <dubious9> __mikem, or man sex ;)
[05:49] <nix_ferret> Do I need a fat partition to run wine?
[05:50] <Asc> dubious9: Hah, you're right.  Looks as though I'm looking for mke2fs
[05:50] <dubious9> nix_ferret, nope partition type shouldn't matter
[05:50] <__mikem> sorry, I didn't realize I tabbed to this chanel. I thought I was in #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:50] <nix_ferret> What's a good starter app to tool around with to mess with wine?
[05:51] <dubious9> brandon_, well I'm sorry I couldn't help ya much.  I don't have any expirience with the 64 bit.
[05:51] <brandon_> no, you helped identify the problems
[05:51] <brandon_> i'm just impatient
[05:51] <dubious9> nix_ferret, I installed firefox under wine so I could install the latest flash.  Works pretty good too ;)
[05:52] <nix_ferret> Nice! I'll check that out.
[05:52] <gili> how do i convert APE audio to MP3/Wav in edgy??
[05:52] <gili> which prog is bets?
[05:52] <dubious9> brandon_, well I know reinstalling is a pain, but I really do recomend the 32 bit version, especially for multimedia and 3d stuff
[05:52] <gili> *best
[05:53] <dubious9> gili, yikes APE?  where'd you get that?
[05:53] <brandon_> what specifically
[05:54] <brandon_> dubious9: ?
[05:54] <gili> dubious9: what do you mean.....? I wanna to convert some monkeys audio to WAV
[05:54] <dubious9> brandon_, You want to know what now?
[05:54] <dubious9> gili, have you tried audacity?
[05:55] <brandon_> what specifically is better about the multimedia and 3dstuff in the 32bit world?
[05:55] <netboix> does anyone know of a howto or a walkthrough to discover the coauses of crashed or lockups?
[05:55] <slicky> libdvdread: Encrypted DVD support unavailable.  <-- vlc says like this :\  how do i get full dvd support?
[05:55] <dubious9> brandon_, well the nvidia drivers are tuned for the 32 bit world for one.  If you plan on playing games that is.
[05:56] <brandon_> how about nvidia audio drivers?
[05:57] <dubious9> slicky, do you have libdvdcss?
[05:57] <brandon_> if i could know that the audio popping would be gone i would definitely switch
[05:57] <slicky> dubious9:  how do i find out if i do? :$
[05:57] <brandon_> because than i know for sure it's the alsa driver
[05:57] <harrisony1> slicky, you dont then
[05:58] <brandon_> is the alsa driver geared towared 32bit?
[05:58] <dubious9> brandon_, those should be ok, but you've got to realize that 64bit is a second hand citizen in the multimedia market.  Drivers are particularly finicky
[05:58] <crimsun> brandon_, it's for both 32-bit and 64-bit.
[05:58] <dubious9> slicky, have you tried using easyubuntu?
[05:58] <brandon_> than there is no need to switch
[05:59] <slicky> dubious9: easyubuntu? :S
[05:59] <dubious9> !easyubuntu
[05:59] <ubotu> easyubuntu is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. See http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ - For help and or discussions about EasyUbuntu please join #easyubuntu
[05:59] <harrisony1> isnt it broken??
[05:59] <dubious9> harrisony1, it worked for me.  I haven't tried it lately though
[06:00] <dubious9> slicky, it automated the installation of most multimedia stuff
[06:00] <dubious9> harrisony1, do recomend automatix over easyubuntu?
[06:00] <slicky> dubious9: ok.. but iv got the libdvd stuffy.. but i get this msg: libdvdnav: Unable to find map file '/home/slicky/.dvdnav/LOIS_AND_CLARK_S1_D2.map
[06:01] <harrisony1> dubious9, i hate em both
[06:01] <dubious9> slicky, or http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_DVD_playback_capability
[06:01] <harrisony1> but if i had to easyubuntu its simpler for the beginner
[06:02] <dubious9> slicky, oh I've always had the best luck on dvd playback with ogle.
[06:03] <dubious9> ogle has nice support for dvd menus and such
[06:04] <dubious9> harrisony1, yeah.  I find it's a good starting point though.  Many problems with it yes.
[06:04] <slicky> dubious9: ow.. thanks ogle worked :D
[06:04] <dubious9> slicky, no prob, have fun watching superman ;)
[06:04] <slicky> and now i can watch loise and clark <3
[06:04] <slicky> :)
[06:04] <cjavier> hi, which is the easiest way to recompile a ubuntu package with some patching?
[06:04] <Fireal> Hello all: anyone know a good program to convert video files to mpeg-4?
[06:04] <crimsun> cjavier, apt-get source foo
[06:05] <cjavier> crimsun: any guide to go further?
[06:05] <harrisony1> Fireal, video as in ?
[06:06] <Fireal> various formats, .avi, etc.
[06:06] <dubious9> Fireal, are to trying to covert stuff to watch on your ipod?
[06:06] <crimsun> cjavier, sure, the ubuntu packaging guide, the debian new maintainers guide, the debian developers guide and the debian policy manual
[06:06] <Fireal> dubious9: close....PSP
[06:06] <pianoboy3333> How can I see what are the most recent packages apt-get downloaded/installed?
[06:06] <cjavier> I found "ubuntu packaging guide", hard to follow, pbuilder was to overkill in my opinion
[06:07] <crimsun> cjavier, pbuilder and sbuild are the proper ways.
[06:07] <cjavier> I don't one to package a new soft, just to patch an existing one
[06:08] <ozzloy> how do i remap keys easily?  the keyboard layout of this laptop is braindead
[06:08] <dubious9> Fireal, hmm... good question.  I'm not sure I've heard of anything off the top of my head
[06:08] <crimsun> cjavier, yes, and the best way to do that while preserving the Debian packaging is to use apt-get source
[06:08] <Novanosis> I tried installing beryl from sudo apt-get install beryl-core beryl-plugins beryl-plugins-data emerald beryl-settings beryl-manager beryl beryl-dev emerald-themes... and it cant find it
[06:08] <Xbehave> novan have you added the repos?
[06:08] <dubious9> what repository is berly in?
[06:08] <dubious9> multiverse?
[06:08] <Novanosis> i dont know how?
[06:09] <cjavier> ok, thanks crimsun, do you know if svn-builpackage do the job, I mean could I patch the source before the package is created?
[06:09] <Xbehave> you have to add it, let me fined them
[06:09] <crimsun> cjavier, it will help you if you're building from svn, sure.
[06:09] <Novanosis> hang on
[06:09] <Novanosis> il try
[06:09] <Novanosis> dont look for anything
[06:09] <Novanosis> ill try to update first
[06:10] <Fireal> dubious9, OK, thanks though.   Is there a standalone flash player that can play .flv files?
[06:10] <pianoboy3333> How can I see what are the most recent packages apt-get downloaded/installed?
[06:10] <Xbehave> http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/BerylOnEdgy#Enable_compositing_in_X
[06:10] <Novanosis> thanks
[06:11] <Xbehave> its at the top i had same problem yesterday
[06:12] <Xbehave> does anybody know if microsoft webcams are completly made by MS?
[06:13] <BHSPitLappy> dumb question, but... the default apps that open in response to certain actions, e.g. iPod connection -> Rhythmbox, DVD -> Totem, CD -> Sound Juicer ... how can these be changed/disabled
[06:13] <dubious9> pianoboy3333, you look in /var/cache/apt and sort by time
[06:13] <BHSPitLappy> Xbehave, it wouldn't surprise me if they were rebranded
[06:13] <Novanosis> dependency is not satisfied? for the deb file on beryl?
[06:13] <Novanosis> what do I do?
[06:13] <mitrovarr> so, how do I force kubuntu to allow some kind of sane refresh rate.  I've programmed in the proper refresh ranges into xorg.conf and everything, but it refuses to let me try anything other than '51mhz' and '59mhz'.  I should be able to do up to 75.
[06:14] <Xbehave> if its a repranded 1 is there anyway to find out what it really is so i can get it to work on linux?
[06:15] <dubious9> Fireal, nuts I looked that up a couple months ago, but right now I can't find it.
[06:15] <ark3qqq> Can someone point me to the right way to get accelerated 3D on my laptop? I have a 950 GMA.
[06:15] <Asc> I'm looking for a program that does nothing but display a background.  No icons or anything.  Bonus points if it can run in the background, on an xterm or something.  Anybody know of such?
[06:16] <Xbehave> ark3qqq:  what distro u using? what type of card have you got?
[06:16] <dubious9> Asc, lol what the heck are you trying to do?
[06:16] <ark3qqq> Xbehave:  Edgy and Intel 950 GMA.
[06:17] <Asc> dubious9: Well, I want a background picture.  But I don't want it to start a program tab in ion, which nautilus and xfdesktop do.
[06:17] <Fireal> dubious9, thanks...will continue the search
[06:17] <Novanosis> can someone pm me and help me install beryl?
[06:18] <dubious9> Asc, ion?
[06:18] <mitrovarr> So, anyone know how to force kubunto to allow higher refresh rates?  59 mhz. is a new low.  We're talking eye cancer, here.
[06:18] <Asc> dubious9: a window manager
[06:18] <dubious9> Asc, huh, never heard of that one before.
[06:19] <ark3qqq> Xbehave:  Any thoughts?
[06:19] <Xbehave> ark3qqq: have your tried the start up guide
[06:19] <Asc> dubious9: It's not often mentioned.
[06:20] <ark3qqq> Xbehave:  I haven't tried anything. Can you point me to it?
[06:20] <dubious9> Asc, well I know imagemagick's display command is pretty bare bones.  maybe you can use that
[06:21] <dubious9> !3d
[06:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about 3d - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:21] <Xbehave> im just looking for it i ran it yesterday but cant work my way around my history
[06:21] <nix_ferret> So if I use IE 7 in wine, will I get a virus?
[06:21] <dubious9> ark3qqq, what kind of video card do you have?
[06:21] <mitrovarr> nevermind everyone, the nvidia configurator utility worked to change it.
[06:21] <harrisony1> nix_ferret, no not really
[06:22] <ark3qqq> dubious9:  Intel 950 GMA.
[06:22] <Asc> nix_ferret: I heard that there was one that could affect wine.  But google 'windows viruses wine'.
[06:22] <ark3qqq> I'm just trying to play Scorched3D, nothing fancy.
[06:22] <Xbehave> ark3qqq:  http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#Graphics_Card <may sort it
[06:23] <bruenig> Asc, and to get rid of it, all you do is rm ~/.wine
[06:23] <ark3qqq> Xbehave:  Thanks, looking.
[06:23] <cjavier> Novanosis: I follow this guide and I was up in notime: http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu
[06:23] <Novanosis> rgr that thank you
[06:23] <Xbehave> that guide will help you sort out most things or atleast point you in the right direction
[06:23] <dubious9> ark3qqq, hmm... I'm only versed in nvidia cards. does xgears not work?
[06:24] <Jason> Does anyone have a link to a site that can walk me through getting ubuntu to recognize my NIC?
[06:25] <cjavier> I'm also using trevio svn packages: deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb edgy beryl-svn
[06:25] <ark3qqq> dubious9:  xgears is not found; glxgears works, but is slow. It's not that Scorched3D doesn't work; it's just ridiculously slow.
[06:26] <Music_Shuffle> Drivers?
[06:26] <nix_ferret> You know, I thought ubuntu was pretty nice when I first installed it, but I just found Dopewars in the repo, and now I think ubuntu is DOPE!
[06:27] <bruenig> dopewars, hmm buy the most of whatever the most expensive drug is and then sell it, automatic victory everytime
[06:27] <dubious9> ark3qqq, it may be that there aren't accelerated drivers for that chipset :(
[06:27] <mitrovarr> I thought the drivers for GMAs aren't only accelerated, but open source?
[06:27] <saxaphone_man> How can I totally reconfigure my internet connection, like wipe all previous settings, and totally start over?
[06:28] <ark3qqq> Yeah, I was under the impression that Intel had good open source support. Anyway, how do I check?
[06:28] <hendrickvp> does anyone know how or where you get the GD2 toolkit?
[06:28] <Xbehave> there are some drivers in the rpm format, id just follow the startup guide the links of all you need to do are there
[06:28] <dubious9> mitrovarr, that may be, I've only dealt with nvidia
[06:28] <cjavier> saxaphone_man: sudo mv /etc/network/interface /etc/network/interface.bak
[06:29] <mitrovarr> dubious9:  Me too, I just remember people pushing them on Digg when the issue of closed source nvidia and ATI drivers came up.  Me, I go with Nvidia; GMAs are not quite up to running modern games.
[06:30] <Jason> Any suggestions on how to get ubuntu to recognize my NIC? no internet really sucks :/
[06:30] <Xbehave> erm is it an nvidia 1?
[06:30] <wheels3572> Can anyone tell me if they are having trouble or if they have had trouble with sound card Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE with Ubuntu or Xubuntu?
[06:30] <crimsun> wheels3572, works fine.
[06:31] <dubious9> ok, EST is getting kinda late.  I'm off to bed.  Adios everybody

[06:31] <crimsun> wheels3572, various SEs
[06:31] <wheels3572> Would you mind maybe helping me out to TRY and fix my sound issue please?
[06:33] <wheels3572> crimsun, I can tell you what I have done
[06:33] <wheels3572> crimsun, or I can pastebin it
[06:35] <crimsun> wheels3572, what's the issue?
[06:36] <mitrovarr> for whoever was trying to get video acceleration on the GMA 950, I found a doc online that said to get opengl accel on a GMA 950 you have to set the "VideoRam" setting to 128000 in the xorg.conf.  Source:  http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1808047
[06:36] <defend> can any one offer some advice

[06:37] <wheels3572> crimsun, Well it seems my onboard Sound is OVER Riding my SE card.  HOWEVER my onboard sound is shut OFF
[06:37] <wheels3572> crimsun, Linux still sees it
[06:37] <crimsun> wheels3572, so is the real problem that sound is being routed to your onboard instead of your SE?
[06:38] <sephirot1> I cannot connect to my samba shares on the windows box-
[06:39] <wheels3572> crimsun, Yes that and the fact im in Xubuntu and cant find out where to goto select what card I wanna use
[06:39] <ark3qqq> How do I check the version of X.org I'm running?
[06:39] <_goofy_> ssh just gives me a command prompt no gui .... correct?
[06:39] <bruenig> apt-cache show xorg-xserver
[06:39] <crimsun> wheels3572, what's the output from ``asoundconf list'' in a Terminal?
[06:40] <bruenig> oh I mixed that up, apt -cache show xserver-xorg
[06:40] <sephirot1> hello - umm...i've got the samba network setup. i can access the windows share from my linux box
[06:40] <sephirot1> but not the other way round.

[06:42] <unikon> anyone ? is there any program i can use to create a pdf file from a webpage?
[06:42] <stickyicky> whats the diff between apt-get and aptitude?
[06:42] <stickyicky> what problem does each try to solve?
[06:42] <DustOfTheEarth> Help Please    I need the password for root user
[06:42] <bruenig> stickyicky, aptitude was supposedly able to track dependencies better, but since edgy and the apt-get autoremove feature, they pretty much track dependencies similarly
[06:42] <_goofy_> there is no root user...just use sudo
[06:42] <crimsun> stickyicky, aptitude tries more diligently to resolve dependencies and recommends
[06:42] <bruenig> so I don't see any realy difference
[06:43] <saxaphone_man> How can I totally whipe my internet/wifi settings? I was installing a parental controls package, and now firefox/epiphany/w3m/all_other_web browsers don't load any page at all, but obv. IRC works, and IM works too. Please help!

[06:43] <crimsun> wheels3572, ``asoundconf set-default-card CA0106''
[06:43] <crimsun> wheels3572, then restart your audio apps
[06:43] <DustOfTheEarth> _goofy_  then what do I use when asked for a password
[06:44] <_goofy_> enter the user password
[06:44] <DustOfTheEarth> _goofy_    Does not work
[06:44] <bruenig> DustOfTheEarth, what command are you trying to do?
[06:44] <_goofy_> then idk i never had that problem
[06:45] <DustOfTheEarth> several    like making new directory
[06:46] <bruenig> DustOfTheEarth, ok, sudo mkdir whatever
[06:46] <bruenig> DustOfTheEarth, then put your user password
[06:46] <DustOfTheEarth> then it asks for a password
[06:48] <jeff2> is there an easy way to add a "Windows" icon to my desktop to boot into Windows, and a "Linux" icon to my desktop in Windows to boot into Linux?
[06:48] <_goofy_> is ssh just a terminal...or is ther a gui
[06:48] <bruenig> just terminal
[06:48] <jeff2> _goofy_, putty has a gui for ssh
[06:48] <bruenig> jeff2, what do you mean boot into it, like virtualization
[06:48] <_goofy_> is there such a program for linux
[06:48] <crimsun> wheels3572, any luck?
[06:49] <wheels3572> I did that
[06:49] <wheels3572> no luck
[06:49] <jeff2> bruenig, reboot and load the other operating system
[06:49] <wheels3572> will try again
[06:49] <jeff2> _goofy_, putty is available for Linux
[06:49] <rgatin> please help me
[06:49] <bruenig> jeff2, I don't see how it would be possible to have it reboot and then pick the subsequent OS you wanted, I could see an icon that made it reboot
[06:49] <rgatin> i have Edgy Eft
[06:49] <_goofy_> sorry i didnt see your earlyer post

[06:55] <M06w> Ok, I just got all the wireless steps done and its connecting, 98% quality, tons of packets going back and forth, but my internet doesnt work
[06:55] <nolimitsoya> jorgp, perhaps you could boot a live system, extract the iso and just place the contents of the compressed fs image on disk?
[06:55] <ken> nolimitsoya: Ya just evolution, and i have to finally shift my screen resolution to 1024x768 and to see the full viewable area
[06:56] <crimsun> wheels3572, you can use ``aplay /usr/share/sounds/*up.wav''
[06:56] <M06w> any body got any idea why?
[06:56] <ken> nolimitsoya: It doesn;t work in 800x600
[06:56] <_goofy_> im trying to install putty an i get the error.......Depends: libgtk1.2 (>=1.2.10-4) but it is not installable

[06:57] <jorgp> nolimitsoya, well, I do debootstrap it, but that does not do everything a fresh install would like creating uuid fstab and such

[06:57] <violot> Nope.

[06:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about really? :) - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:57] <nolimitsoya> jorgp, the fstab could be handled post install, manualy. extracting the unionfs(?) image will give you a standard install, id think...

[06:58] <M06w> *: Wireles network connects, but does not work. Why
[06:58] <gustavot> I just installed ubuntu 6.1 and when  I try to login, X11 restarts and prompts for my username and pass again, then  I get "I ve detected a panel already running, will now exit"
[06:58] <rgatin> ken: how can i check that? sorry, i am new to Ubuntu :)
[06:58] <wheels3572> crimsun, or ANYONE else here is what I see http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39421/
[06:58] <ken> nolimitsoya: What happened? I think you had some sort of idea
[06:58] <arrenlex> violot: Right after the question he asked someone else. So it was in no way obvious to whom you were referring.

[07:00] <nolimitsoya> Pie-rate, i wouldnt use shred for encrypting precious files ;)
[07:00] <arrenlex> Pie-rate: Sure it can. gpg and pgp are AFAIK available on all platforms by virtue of being opensource.
[07:00] <Pie-rate> well yeah but you have to screw around with getting them installed
[07:00] <arrenlex> Well not pgp.

[07:08] <pr3d4t0r> Q. I am about 3,000 miles away from my server - is there a command line tool for monitoring processor temperature?  AMD-64, Athlon, Kubuntu Edgy.  Thanks in advance.
[07:08] <nolimitsoya> Ebagen02, ask ubotu
[07:08] <jorgp> nolimitsoya, are you talking a live cd or a install cd?
[07:08] <nolimitsoya> jorgp, live
[07:08] <crimsun> wheels3572, that's not possible, you either get a 0 or a 1
[07:09] <jorgp> all I have is the alternate install
[07:09] <sjust1216> Hi I am trying to write a script that will open the terminal and display some text I got the terminal to open but the text wont display

[07:09] <nolimitsoya> jorgp, well thats unfortunate :)
[07:09] <wheels3572> crimsun, it was on next line down.  Its a 1
[07:09] <arrenlex> sjust1216: Use the echo command.

[07:10] <rgatin> what file is responsible for running help?
[07:10] <jorgp> nolimitsoya, is that the desktop cd?
[07:10] <nolimitsoya> jorgp, the live cd is called desktop, yes
[07:10] <wheels3572> am I using the '' at the end?
[07:10] <hagabaka> there's a package in universe named libmetakit2.4.9.3c2. would it be able to get updated? (the version is put in the package name)
[07:10] <sjust1216> Ill try that be back

[07:21] <sidny4> is there a way to make anything I delete, be deleted instead of being put in the trash folder?
[07:22] <pr3d4t0r> Jason: If you have another machine in the same network, ping this one's IP address from it.
[07:22] <feross> saxaphone_man: back up all of that stuff somewhere else then create a new user with admin rights.. log out and log back in as that user. blow away everything under your home then copy everything from the new user you created to your home.. log back in.
[07:22] <Jason> kk

[07:24] <saxaphone_man> feross: good idea
[07:24] <pr3d4t0r> Jason: From where?  Within or outside the box?
[07:25] <pr3d4t0r> Jason: Or both?
[07:25] <Jason> ping localhost runs forever, ping another box is unreachable
[07:26] <pr3d4t0r> Jason: How about ping your local IP address from within the box?
[07:27] <sephirot1> sorry got disconnected.
[07:27] <sephirot1> did anyone reply? :)
[07:27] <pianoboy3333> I'm sorry, I know I asked this not too log ago, how can I find out what are the most recent packages I installed?
[07:27] <sephirot1> as to why i cannot access my windows shaare on smb?
[07:27] <feross> pianoboy3333: look in /var/log/apt.log
[07:28] <Jason> from terminal: ping 127.0.0.1 (my IP) runs a long list of icmp_seq=##
[07:28] <pianoboy3333> thanks
[07:28] <CUBeR64> hello everyone
[07:28] <Jason> O.o
[07:28] <pr3d4t0r> Jason: Not that one; the IP address associated with eth0.
[07:28] <pr3d4t0r> Jason: If it doesn't have one, then you do have a driver problem.
[07:28] <pianoboy3333> feross: that doesn't exist...
[07:28] <pr3d4t0r> sephirot1: man smbclint
[07:28] <CUBeR64> i have a question, i'm using ubuntu 6.10 and I can't seem to shut down X, can anyone help?
[07:28] <pr3d4t0r> sephirot1: man smbclient
[07:28] <Jason> aye, didn't have one
[07:29] <feross> pianoboy3333: hmm you're right :) .. lemme look there's a log somewhere
[07:29] <pr3d4t0r> Jason: Ah.  OKi, then I cede the floor to someone with driver kung fu.
[07:29] <plypkie> CUBeR64: what are you trying to do?  and what happens when you try to do it?
[07:29] <hot_wheelz> do u guys know of the imation Disc Stakka ping me if yes pls
[07:29] <plypkie> CUBeR64: you want to quit X and just have a text-mode login?
[07:29] <pianoboy3333> feross: I can sort /var/cache/apt/archives by date
[07:29] <Jason> thank you pr3
[07:30] <pr3d4t0r> Jason: For now, find out which chipset your NIC has; maybe you can download an equivalent driver from someone else.  Also, try your vendor.  Some times they offer Linux drivers, albeit unsupported.
[07:30] <feross> pianoboy3333: nah, there was something else.. a log
[07:30] <CUBeR64> i'm trying to install the nvidia .run package, it states that i need to shut down x before i can install it
[07:30] <Toran> OK, i'm getting read-only-filesystem errors. can anyone help me remount my disk without rebooting?
[07:30] <CUBeR64> how do i go about doing this?
[07:30] <M06w> after iv installed the jave environment, do i have to restart the whole computer, or just my browser?
[07:30] <pianoboy3333> feross: no that doesn't work
[07:30] <Jason> I downloaded the driver to a windows box, it has drivers for redhat 6.0 to 7.1
[07:31] <plypkie> CUBeR64: if you're running gnome, you can do "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" to stop gdm (which is the thing that loads X for you)
[07:31] <Toran> OK, i'm getting read-only-filesystem errors. can anyone help me remount my disk without rebooting?
[07:31] <plypkie> CUBeR64: and then when you want it back, you can run "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start"
[07:33] <pianoboy3333> feross: you find it?
[07:35] <arrenlex> Toran: mount -o remount,rw /
[07:35] <Yodude> hey can someone help me with my sound problem?
[07:35] <arrenlex> !ask | Yodude
[07:35] <ubotu> Yodude: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:35] <Yodude> ok i'm not getting any sound
[07:35] <feross> pianoboy3333: not yet.
[07:35] <ThePub> so for the fun of it I ran the edgy installer in "safe graphics mode" and have found that it still uses the same ati driver in the same way.  what's so safe about the "safe mode"?
[07:36] <arrenlex> !doesn't work | Yodude
[07:36] <ubotu> Yodude: 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)
[07:36] <Yodude> although i have my volume bars unmuted and used
[07:36] <Yodude> ok i have 2 sound cardas
[07:36] <Jason> Yodude: are you using a netgear fa311 NIC?
[07:36] <arrenlex> Yodude: That is your problem.
[07:36] <lnknpk04> hey there folks
[07:36] <Yodude> no for sound i have mercury
[07:37] <Yodude> and an integrated motherboardsound card (intel)
[07:37] <feross> pianoboy3333: ahh, dpkg.log
[07:37] <saxaphone_man> test
[07:37] <arrenlex> Yodude: Do you get sound in one but not the other?
[07:37] <Yodude> no actually in neither lol
[07:37] <Yodude> for instance
[07:37] <arrenlex> !enter | Yodude
[07:37] <ubotu> Yodude: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[07:37] <ThePub> Yodude: you need to set a default sound card.
[07:37] <Yodude> i have my sound system plugged into my mercury
[07:37] <Yodude> no sound
[07:38] <Yodude> and i plugged my ipod speakers into the other card n still no sound
[07:38] <Yodude> tell me how do i set the default card?
[07:38] <Yodude> (and easy way plz a way that i can remember)
[07:38] <ThePub> Yodude: it's in preferences after setup.
[07:38] <lnknpk04> I'm trying to install my dell truemobile 1450 integrated wireless card and having some troube.  I used ndswrapper and have bcmwl5a.inf installed and it says "device present", but from here, I cant get it to work.  It recognizes the wireless connection as eth1 and not wlan0 like in all the tuts that I've read.  Any ideas?
[07:39] <ThePub> Yodude: at least, I always have no sound on my audigy after a fresh install :)
[07:39] <ThePub> Yodude: solution is always to set the sound card.
[07:39] <Yodude> you mean system-prefs-sound?
[07:39] <ThePub> yes.
[07:40] <saxaphone_man> test
[07:40] <Asc> Is it possible to configure grub to boot from a file on the disk?  Like set it to root=/dev/hda1/home/user/livecd.iso or something
[07:40] <Yodude> ok but evrytime i change the card at the bottom and exit it reverts back to intel
[07:40] <plypkie> lnknpk04: does it say wireless info for eth1 when you type iwconfig?
[07:40] <lnknpk04> plypkie: yeah, i get the info
[07:41] <lnknpk04> no essid and AP is invalid
[07:41] <mo1> hello
[07:41] <Yodude> thePub: what do i have to do?
[07:42] <pr3d4t0r> Have a great night, Everyone.
[07:42] <plypkie> lnknpk04: sudo iwlist eth1 scanning
[07:42] <saxaphone_man> not me...
[07:42] <plypkie> can you see any access points there?
[07:43] <lnknpk04> nope.  Interface doesn't support scanning : No such device
[07:43] <plypkie> hmm
[07:43] <lnknpk04> weird, eh?
[07:43] <Yodude> ThePub: plz continue

[07:44] <Kalidarn> what kernel version did ubuntu 4.10 start out with, was it a 2.4 kernel?
[07:44] <crimsun> Kalidarn, 2.6.8.1
[07:44] <Kalidarn> 2003 was about the time the 2.6 tree was released as stable
[07:44] <Kalidarn> ah
[07:45] <lnknpk04> plypkie: no problem.  I knew i was in for some fun.  Wireless is the hardest thing to get set up on here (or so i've heard)
[07:45] <Yodude> plz can soneone help me with my sound problem?!

[07:46] <wheels3572> crimsun, ok that works but still having slight issues I cant hear no music when I play it lol.  NO matter what media player I use.
[07:47] <Yodude> do i install alsamixergui again?
[07:47] <crimsun> Yodude, sure, I can't remember everything.
[07:47] <lnknpk04> anyone else have a clue as to why I get "eth1      Interface doesn't support scanning : No such device" when trying to scan for an access point w/ my wireless card?
[07:47] <Feral_Kid> Could someone give me helping hand... I did a dpkg --get-selections > selections.lst. I thought that by doing a dpkg --set-selections < selections.lst, it would autmatically start downloading all the packages... Did I misunderstand the process?
[07:47] <Yodude> ok i'll reinstall
[07:48] <karakara> yahbuntew
[07:48] <saxaphone_man> feross: I tried making a new user, it didn't work, it must be a system config file...
[07:48] <Yodude> downloading alsamixergui
[07:48] <saxaphone_man> I'm gonna try re booting
[07:48] <Yodude> i hope this works
[07:48] <Yodude> hey in the meantime
[07:49] <Yodude> i'm also having a problem with my disks
[07:49] <Yodude> in windows i have C and D
[07:49] <feross> saxaphone_man: ok
[07:49] <Yodude> each arround 30GB
[07:49] <Yodude> but in unbuntu i get an error message when trying to open them
[07:49] <plypkie> Feral_Kid: IIRC, dpkg can't do any downloading
[07:49] <Yodude> i get "unable to mount"
[07:49] <plypkie> Feral_Kid: you need apt-get to do the downloading
[07:50] <braveheartlion> how do i access my floppy drive?
[07:51] <Yodude> anyone can help with that??
[07:51] <Feral_Kid> plypkie> Ok, with that said, how do I allow apt-get to pull down the files that were saved from dpkg --get-selections?
[07:51] <plypkie> Yodude: do you know what the linux partition names are for those partitions?
[07:52] <Yodude> Unable to mount the selected volume.
[07:52] <feross> braveheartlion: hmm. try sudo mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy then cd /media/floppy
[07:52] <Yodude> error: device /dev/hdc5 is not removable
[07:52] <Yodude> error: could not execute pmount
[07:52] <Yodude> that's the error
[07:52] <Yodude> wait plypkie
[07:52] <Yodude> well i went to the disks manager
[07:53] <Feral_Kid> Or would I do an apt-get dselect-upgrade?
[07:53] <Yodude> it shows me that i have 3 hard drives!
[07:53] <Jason> Ubuntu doesn't recognize my NIC, do I need to reinstall the OS?
[07:53] <Yodude> on has a name and the other two have got pretty much evrything unknown
[07:54] <Yodude> in the disk that is recognized, i have 2 partitions : partition 1 and partition 5
[07:54] <feross> Jason: hmm, do an 'lspci' is it listed there? then lsmod... look for the module if it loaded
[07:54] <Trentster> Hey all, I have a strange problem, I have joomla installed as a customer portal on an ubuntu lamp server, everything works perfectly from the local network, but as soon as i hit the portal from the internet it loads only the text from the portal and no graphics or buttons etc...any ideas? is this an apache problem?
[07:54] <saxaphone_man> feross: got any other good ideas?
[07:55] <plypkie> Yodude: do you know if your windows C: and D: are separate partitions on the same drive?  or are they different drives?
[07:55] <Jason> lspci: no, lsmod:no, but i hear i need natsemi loaded
[07:55] <rushfreak2112> I would check browser settings first, then apache.
[07:55] <Yodude> i always thought they were different harddrives
[07:56] <Yodude> but now i'm thinking mroe they are partitions
[07:56] <saxaphone_man> feros: it was the clamav files, I got it
[07:56] <plypkie> Yodude: ok, do this:   sudo fdisk /dev/hda
[07:56] <feross> saxaphone_man: the problem were some internet apps right like firefox.. try removing the program and the configs, then reinstall.
[07:56] <plypkie> Yodude: then type "p"
[07:56] <saxaphone_man> feross: thank you for your help though
[07:56] <plypkie> Yodude: it'll print the partitions on hda
[07:56] <sushi_> I need to set up my home wireless network.   The Network Configuration tool allows me to enter the SSID that I receive the Internet from, but I also need to broadcast inside my home to other computers.  How would I do this?
[07:56] <feross> saxaphone_man: good to hear
[07:57] <plypkie> Yodude: then we'll see what's on that drive
[07:57] <Feral_Kid> plypkie> Any answer to that question?
[07:57] <plypkie> Feral_Kid: i was just trying to google it
[07:57] <plypkie> i can't remember
[07:57] <lnknpk04> hey, i need to modify my etc/modules.d file.  whats the command line command to open it up in a text editor ?
[07:57] <rushfreak2112> Trentser....You running Tomcat?
[07:57] <feross> Jason: if you do a 'sudo modprobe netsemi' what does it show in lsmod after..
[07:57] <sushi_> For example I connect to the internet from a wifi ssid "Pop"    but I also need to broadcast inside my home SSID "Coke"
[07:58] <plypkie> Yodude: after you get that listing, type q to quit
[07:58] <pokesmot> ahhhh, ubuntu RULES!
[07:58] <plypkie> sushi_: you want to connect to two different wireless networks?
[07:58] <plypkie> sushi_: don't you need two cards for that?
[07:59] <Yodude> well i entered sudo fdisk /dev/hda in the terminal
[07:59] <Yodude> but all i got is this:
[07:59] <rushfreak2112> If you're running tomcat check the bin/catalina.sh file for this:  CATALINA_OPTS=-Djava.awt.headless=true
[07:59] <sushi_> plypkie: I want to broadcast and receive at the same time.   I did this in XP using the Wireless Wizard.
[07:59] <rushfreak2112> don't know if it will help you, but try.
[07:59] <Yodude> You will not be able to write the partition table.
[07:59] <Yodude> Note: sector size is 2048 (not 512)
[07:59] <Yodude> Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel
[07:59] <Yodude> Building a new DOS disklabel. Changes will remain in memory only,
[07:59] <Yodude> until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previous
[07:59] <Yodude> content won't be recoverable.
[07:59] <Jason> feross: lsmod lists natsemi, lspci: still not listed
[08:00] <lnknpk04> can anyone tell me the command i need to type in to edit the modules.d file under root priviledges?
[08:00] <sushi_> plypkie: generally, I want to use my computer as a
[08:00] <feross> Jason: hmm, nothing on ifconfig?
[08:00] <sushi_> as a wifi router
[08:01] <Yodude> so what should i do plypkie?
[08:01] <pokesmot> I dont know if anyones ever heard of this, but i just used a program called instlux to install ubuntu off the internet, no cd burning, didnt even have to download an iso...very cool.
[08:01] <plypkie> sushi_: ok, i'm no expert on wifi, but i really think you need 2 cards to be a wifi router
[08:01] <rushfreak2112> Use sudo for root privilidges
[08:01] <sushi_> my laptop had an SSID of "Coke" and the rouoter across the streen was called "Pop"        worked great for my home network but I can't seem to do it in Linux
[08:01] <Jason> feross: nothing on ifconfig, and sys > admin > network only lists my dial up modem
[08:01] <sushi_> plypkie: again, I did it in another OS.   Worked great, but I don't want to use that OS anymore
[08:01] <plypkie> Yodude: hit "q" for quit
[08:01] <rushfreak2112> sudo vi modules.d should do it.
[08:01] <plypkie> Yodude: don't save anything ;)
[08:01] <lnknpk04> gracias
[08:01] <plypkie> sushi_: oh.  neato.
[08:02] <sushi_> plypkie: not really, I want to use ubuntu 'full time'
[08:02] <saxaphone_man> Can someone please help with a web content filtering issue at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1946420
[08:02] <feross> Jason: hold a sec
[08:03] <Yodude> well i didn't solve anything i still cannot access my hardrive
[08:03] <rushfreak2112> de nada
[08:03] <sushi_> plypkie: a simple answer would be to somehow get myself 2 devices for my one wifi card.   so far all i have is eth1, but if i had wlan1 and eth1, I could configure it.
[08:03] <Jason> feross: holding; really want ubuntu to work (don't wanna go back to MS)
[08:04] <sushi_> I guess my question is, How do I get two different /dev devices for my 1 network card?      And a related question, how do I broadcast a wifi SSID?
[08:05] <plypkie> sushi_: with an ethernet card you can do aliasing so you get eth1:0 and eth1:1 and you can assign different IP addresses to each fake interface.  maybe something like that exists for wifi
[08:05] <plypkie> Yodude: try the same thing for /dev/hdc.    sudo fdisk /dev/hdc
[08:06] <plypkie> Yodude: let me know if it says the same error
[08:06] <sushi_> plypkie: that'd work great.       Is it strange that my wifi card is showing up as ethernet?   It's a popular card.
[08:06] <plypkie> sushi_: on my laptop, my ethernet is eth0 and my wifi is eth1, so i guess it's not too unusual
[08:06] <plypkie> sushi_: it depends on what the drivers make it
[08:07] <sushi_> plypkie: neat.     can youo show me in the right direction to aliasing the device?
[08:07] <Yodude> The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 7476.
[08:07] <Yodude> There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
[08:07] <Yodude> and could in certain setups cause problems with:
[08:07] <Yodude> 1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
[08:07] <Yodude> 2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
[08:07] <Yodude>    (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
[08:07] <sushi_> and in Network Configuration, it will show up as two psuedo-different devices?
[08:07] <Yodude> btw in windows i see to disks one is NTFS and the oher is FAT32
[08:07] <plypkie> sushi_: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/IP-Alias/index.html  <-- try this?
[08:08] <plypkie> sushi_: i'm just googling "linux ip aliasing"
[08:08] <sushi_> plypkie: thanks you helped.
[08:08] <sushi_> yey
[08:08] <sushi_> google?  whats that
[08:08] <plypkie> hehe
[08:08] <sushi_> =] 
[08:08] <lnknpk04> i think i figured something out w/ my wireless problem.  The linux driver is using "bcm43xx" instead of the ndiswrapper driver.  Any clue on how to switch that?
[08:08] <plypkie> Yodude: did you get a prompt in fdisk?
[08:09] <plypkie> "Command (m for help):" like that?
[08:09] <Yodude> what do you mean
[08:09] <Feral_Kid> plypkie> Yeah, I have no idea... I googled as well and tried to do a apt-get dist-upgrade and it seems to loading in somethings, but not all of the other files...
[08:09] <Yodude> isn't that what wu gave me a command to do in the terminal?
[08:09] <Yodude> all i got is that message
[08:09] <plypkie> Yodude: ya, you got that message about the cylinders from fdisk
[08:09] <plypkie> now what does it say at the bottom of that terminal
[08:09] <Yodude> yeah
[08:09] <Yodude> only
[08:10] <plypkie> does it say "Command (m for help): " ?
[08:10] <Feral_Kid> Oh, well... Back to the old drawing board... I was shift back from 32-bit edgy to 64-bit... I guess this is all character building... :)
[08:10] <sushi_> text-mode computing is a thing of the future.
[08:10] <feross> Jason: anything in /etc/network/interfaces for eth0?
[08:10] <sushi_> Yodude: gparted works great.   Replaced fdisk for me
[08:11] <plypkie> sushi_: i just want him to see what partitions exist
[08:11] <sushi_> fdisk -l
[08:11] <sushi_> l as in lama
[08:11] <rushfreak2112> You know what the f in fdisk stands for, don't ya?
[08:11] <Yodude> what do you mean suchi ( i'm using LiveCD ok? )
[08:11] <borg> what player can i use to play Windows Media 9 videos?
[08:11] <Jason> feross: sec
[08:11] <sushi_> rushfreak2112: please tell us
[08:11] <plypkie> sushi_: haha...thanks, i should have looked that up
[08:11] <sushi_> Yodude: live cd comes with gparted
[08:11] <rushfreak2112> fudge...to keep it clean.
[08:11] <Feral_Kid> That update and then go back to updating my Nokia 700 and life will be groovy!!!
[08:12] <Yodude> you mean Gnome Partition editor?
[08:12] <plypkie> Yodude: ok, try what sushi_ said:   type "sudo fdisk -l /dev/hdc"
[08:12] <Yodude> k i got this:

[08:13] <plypkie> aha, there we go
[08:13] <sushi_> ;lol
[08:13] <borg> can someone say pastebin?
[08:13] <sushi_> its late =\
[08:13] <plypkie> so those are your two windows drives...now we can figure out how to mount them
[08:13] <Jason> feross: ethO: auto eth0, iface eth0 inet dhcp... then it goes to auto eth1
[08:13] <Yodude> ok
[08:13] <Yodude> tell me im listening
[08:14] <plypkie> Yodude: sudo mkdir /mnt/c
[08:14] <cwillu> what's the name of the file that has the hardware mappings for ethernet cards to eth0, eth1, etc?  (not /etc/network/interfaces, the generic hal one (I think))
[08:14] <plypkie> Yodude: sudo mkdir /mnt/d
[08:14] <plypkie> Yodude: sudo mount -t vfat /dev/hdc5 /mnt/d
[08:14] <plypkie> Yodude: sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hdc1 /mnt/c
[08:15] <feross> Jason: try sudu /etc/init.d/networking restart
[08:15] <plypkie> there's probably some easier GUI way to do that, but i don't know it ;)
[08:15] <feross> s/sudu/sudo
[08:15] <plypkie> err
[08:15] <plypkie> thanks
[08:15] <plypkie> no wait, you typed sudu ;)
[08:15] <plypkie> hehe
[08:15] <Yodude> ok i typed the commands in the order you gave me
[08:15] <plypkie> Yodude: any errors?
[08:15] <Yodude> i got this:
[08:16] <Yodude> mount: /dev/hdc1 already mounted or /mnt/c busy
[08:16] <Yodude> mount: according to mtab, /dev/hdc1 is mounted on /tmp/disks-conf-hdc1
[08:16] <plypkie> ohh
[08:16] <plypkie> ok, so one of them is already mounted
[08:16] <Jason> feross: restarting
[08:16] <plypkie> open up a file browser and look in /tmp
[08:16] <feross> Jason: ok then ifconfig again just to see if it picks up anything.
[08:17] <Yodude> well i went to places-computer-tried to enter the disk
[08:18] <Yodude> then i got an error saying The folder contents could not be displayed.
[08:18] <Yodude> You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "disks-conf-hdc1".
[08:18] <james296> how come when I boot Ubuntu 6.10 64 bit the boot up screen is black and white instead of colored?
[08:18] <james296> and how do I fix this?
[08:18] <Yodude> but if i click the tmp tab in my file manager
[08:18] <Yodude> i got some folders
[08:18] <james296> it was like this when I first ran the live CD even
[08:19] <Yodude> three of which contain a lock icon and an X
[08:19] <Jason> feross: no luck in ifconfig... the restart gave me for eth0: SIOCSIFADDR: no such device, eth0: error while getting interface flags: no such device, etc
[08:19] <lnknpk04> gah
[08:19] <anaid> hi
[08:19] <Yodude> so?
[08:20] <plypkie> Yodude: oh, i remember this happening to me when i had windows drives...it thinks that you're not allowed to view them because you're not administrator or somethnig
[08:20] <plypkie> hmm
[08:20] <plypkie> lemme think
[08:20] <ssmasood> plypkie.....hi....
[08:20] <feross> Jason: did it work fine when you booted from the cd or it never worked period... also, if you boot into windows it works fine right?
[08:20] <ssmasood> i have the same problem left
[08:20] <saxaphone_man> Can someone please help with a web content filtering issue at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1946420
[08:20] <plypkie> ssmasood: remind me again what it is?
[08:21] <ssmasood> the intel 3945 wifi card problem ..remember???
[08:21] <plypkie> ahh
[08:21] <Yodude> so what should i do? ( someone told me FAT32 should work great with linux)
[08:21] <ken> HELP: I selected a couple of applications to be downloaded via synaptic. The download estimated time was around 2 hrs. So i waited, after two hours a message came that it failed to download a small library called llibxine1 and abiword-common. But, i had selected a lot of applications to be installed, but none of them were installed due to the failure of two stupid libraries. Si my question is: the download did go on at a steady speed of 30kbps for about two hours,
[08:21] <james296> well can someone give me a hand with that problem plz?
[08:21] <bruenig> ken, that is not a question
[08:21] <plypkie> Yodude: you're on a LiveCD right?  not installed?
[08:22] <someguy> i have a rather odd question.. when i play vxid in totem, it works flawlessly, though when i play it in VLC, the audio skips or pops not and then..
[08:22] <sushi_> Yodude: Sorry I haven't been folowing your problem.     I have good experiences reading/writing FAT drives on Linux
[08:22] <someguy> and clue why?
[08:22] <ken> bruenig: Something more explanative would have been useful
[08:22] <Jason> feross: didn't work from the live cd (didn't know it should), wiped windows on this old box, but I yanked it out of my current windows box where it ran fine
[08:22] <Yodude> now but i don't plan to install but hey i got something that workewd right now!!!!!
[08:22] <my_haz> Greetings is there a way to make an existing partion encrypted?
[08:22] <Yodude> when i go to Places-Computer
[08:22] <plypkie> sushi_: he has a windows drive mounted, but it says readable only by root
[08:22] <Yodude> i see two hardrives ok?
[08:22] <bruenig> ken, you said your question was that the download did go on, that is a statement, and I honestly don't know what sort of question can be derived from it
[08:22] <harrisony1> james296, whats the problem
[08:22] <Yodude> one is LOCAL DISK
[08:23] <sushi_> Yodude plypkie youo have to mount it with option umask=000
[08:23] <my_haz> i don't need to save the data on the partion that i am trying make encrypted
[08:23] <Yodude> and the other is 28.9 GB Volume: /tmp/disks-conf-hdc1
[08:23] <james296> the grub boot loader is black and white instead of color on Ubuntu 6.10 64 bit edition
[08:23] <james296> is there a way to fix that?
[08:23] <imbecile> ok you guys how do i install c compiler? i'm trying to install TOR which requires this
[08:23] <linlin> i need an FTP client that is capable of using AUTH TLS SSL encryption
[08:23] <Yodude> so i clicked on LOCAL DISK and it worked!!!!!!!!!
[08:23] <linlin> any ideas
[08:23] <bruenig> !gcc
[08:23] <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!)
[08:23] <plypkie> sushi_: like   mount -o umask=000 -t vfat /dev/hdc5 /mnt/d
[08:23] <plypkie> ?
[08:23] <Yodude> i see my folders!
[08:23] <sushi_> Yodude: you're using Live CD?   Why don't you just access the drive using root then?
[08:23] <harrisony1> !grub-splashimage
[08:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about grub-splashimage - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:23] <plypkie> Yodude: woo!
[08:23] <feross> saxaphone_man: that second option sounds good, have your dad lock down the network where his computer is the only one that can get to the internet. Have the parental controls on that one and everyone else connects through there.
[08:23] <sushi_> plypkie yes
[08:23] <harrisony1> !grub
[08:23] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[08:23] <ken> bruenig: I end my post with " I mean where is all that i downloaded gone?", by that i mean that if any applications were installed is should see them in the menu-bar, and a message should popup showing that the "following applications are installed in so many sections" but none of that happened. Dont you see this is a question?
[08:23] <bruenig> imbecile, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[08:24] <harrisony1> hmm......
[08:24] <Yodude> but lol it took all this: i knew NTFS doesn't work qwith linux
[08:24] <harrisony1> there is a package ill get it
[08:24] <Yodude> but why should FAT32 work fine?
[08:24] <plypkie> Yodude: NTFS is read-only in linux
[08:24] <bruenig> ken, once you get all the libraries in order, the already downloaded files will install, they should be kept in /var/cache/apt/archives
[08:24] <Yodude> lol do i have to do this evrytime i load ubuntu?
[08:24] <plypkie> Yodude: FAT32 is read and write
[08:24] <sushi_> Yodude: ntfs works with linux, but WRITING to it, will destroy your winblows system structure.
[08:24] <james296> why should I need a package for this? why has this problem happened even on the live cd?
[08:24] <imbecile> bruenig, thanks man you guys are so helpful here
[08:24] <harrisony1> james296, sudo apt-get install grub-splashimages
[08:24] <plypkie> Yodude: with a LiveCD, you can't save any settings
[08:24] <sushi_> Yodude: /etc/fstab is the file that mounts partitions during boot.
[08:24] <plypkie> Yodude: it's a fresh start every time
[08:24] <Jason> feross: I can't help but think I'm missing a driver or have a corrupt driver, but with no internet on the ubuntu box, it's hard to solve
[08:25] <harrisony1> james296, grub has always been black and white in ubuntu
[08:25] <harrisony1> unless you mean when ubuntu boots
[08:25] <james296> ok, I meant the splash image
[08:25] <james296> yes
[08:25] <ken> bruenig: Are you sure all that libraries i downloaded in those two hours will not be re-downloaded again?
[08:25] <feross> Jason: just for kicks try running DSL linux on it, it's only a 50MB download OR Knoppix just to test it. I'm sure that if you see it under lspci it would detect and work fine.
[08:25] <james296> thats what I meant
[08:25] <sushi_> yodude: Seems like you need general UNIX training.   Topic: File systems
[08:25] <M06w> for grub, whats error 11 and 21
[08:25] <plypkie> ssmasood: ok, so you have the same network card as me, but mine works and yours doesn't
[08:25] <Yodude> but hey then how do you explain the message i get when i enter the NTFS drive?
[08:25] <plypkie> ssmasood: let me try and find which packages i have that make it work
[08:25] <bruenig> ken, if they were downloaded, the won't be redownloaded, it will use the already downloaded ones in the cache
[08:25] <sushi_> Yodude: whats that
[08:25] <ssmasood> plypkie..yes dude
[08:25] <Yodude> it says The folder contents could not be displayed.
[08:26] <ken> bruenig: Thank you for your quick response
[08:26] <sushi_> yodude that's all it says?
[08:26] <Yodude> yes
[08:26] <harrisony1> Oh....is all black and white or some parts because sometimes mine will just go from nice image to text with black and white
[08:26] <Yodude> non wait
[08:26] <sushi_> yodude did you try the ls command
[08:26] <thePuck> try accessing it from the console
[08:26] <Jason> feross: download 'DSL linux' on my widows box, burn to cd and run in ubuntu box?
[08:26] <sushi_> yodude ls /mnt/d
[08:26] <Yodude> You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "disks-conf-hdc1".
[08:26] <sushi_> Yodude: sudo ls /mnt/d
[08:26] <GefilteTrish> I'm having some trouble compiling a package.  I'm getting this error: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmikmod
[08:27] <ken> bruenig: One more thing, do you know what i need to do to get the Ubuntu 6.10 splash screen alike Ubuntu 6.06 one's. I mean it should have the Ubuntu logo + all those scrolling lines of text at bootup. THere is some word that i need to take out of the menu.lst. What was it "quiet" or "splash" or something?
[08:27] <borg> what player can i use to play Windows Media 9 videos?
[08:27] <Yodude> no D seems to be the LOCAL DISK and it's working
[08:27] <feross> Jason: sure, if you have a USB drive pop it on there once you boot it.. I carry one around, chicks love it ;)
[08:27] <james296> its always black and white
[08:27] <bruenig> borg, with the right codecs, totem
[08:27] <ken> borg: VLC
[08:27] <sushi_> GefilteTrish: I used to LOVE mikmod!   WTF kind of old-skewl stuff you doing?    anyways, try sudo apt-get installl mikmod
[08:27] <borg> VLC cant play this video i want to play
[08:27] <james296> and the loading slider thing looks, well, crappy, it doesnt look the way it should
[08:27] <sushi_> GefilteTrish: oh that's for MOD music
[08:27] <borg> it's like 1280 wide
[08:28] <Jason> feross: awesome (I have a usb drive, but since I'm married I don't carry it around anymore. )
[08:28] <bruenig> ken, well play around with it, I am not sure which to take out. Take one out, see what happens then take the other one out. Most people either go all the way or just get the text, so I am not familiar
[08:28] <GefilteTrish> sushi_, it's already installed.  I'm compiling Ur-Quan Masters, if you're curious
[08:28] <arrenlex> borg: mplayer
[08:28] <zak> http://bh.polpo.org/popupalert9.GIF
[08:28] <harrisony1> james296, can you take a video/photo
[08:28] <Jason> feross: thanks for the help, much appreciated
[08:28] <ken> Someone HELP: do you know what i need to do to get the Ubuntu 6.10 splash screen alike Ubuntu 6.06 one's. I mean it should have the Ubuntu logo + all those scrolling lines of text at bootup. THere is some word that i need to take out of the menu.lst. What was it "quiet" or "splash" or something?
[08:28] <Yodude> isn't there a way i can read the C: drive? i would be able to access my windows documents that way
[08:29] <harrisony1> Yodude, yes there is
[08:29] <sushi_> ken: that is the splash screen.
[08:29] <feross> Jason: ok, my guess is that there might be something wrong with the hardware somewhere.. if lspci doesn't see it.
[08:29] <harrisony1> !ntfs
[08:29] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - See also !fuse
[08:29] <plypkie> ssmasood: so my /sbin/ipw3945d program came in the linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-10-generic package
[08:29] <ken> sushi_: What do i need to do?
[08:29] <james296> I wouldnt know how, but, I just want to know what to do to fix that, it just is black and white, and the loading slider is flat, and doesnt have the reflection-like colors in it at all
[08:29] <sushi_> Yodude:; yes there are ways and it is easy.
[08:29] <plypkie> ssmasood: maybe there's new stuff in 2.6.17 that you need
[08:29] <plypkie> ssmasood: i suggest upgrading to that if you can
[08:29] <harrisony1> and Yodude try ntfs-3g
[08:29] <Yodude> tell me
[08:29] <harrisony1> james296, are you using dapper or edgy
[08:30] <james296> edgy
[08:30] <ken> sushi_: DO you know the exact editing that i need to do to my menu.lst file?
[08:30] <sushi_> ken no
[08:30] <GefilteTrish> Does anyone know how to add things to ld's path?  What's worse is I know there's a copy of mikmod.h in /usr/lib
[08:30] <ken> !splashscreen
[08:30] <ubotu> To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash-image using !gconf-editor
[08:30] <harrisony1> Yodude,   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions and google ntfs-3g
[08:30] <sushi_> Yodude: I know ubuntuguide.org is frowned upon, but you may want to try there.   I learned a lot there.
[08:31] <harrisony1> james296, do you have a digital camera/camera phone/camcorder were you can take a short video of when you boot up
[08:31] <Jason> feross: once DSL is installed, I assume everything will be done via Terminal?
[08:31] <james296> no I dont sorry
[08:31] <Yodude> plypkie: you told me there's an easy way i can make C: readable tell me how plz
[08:31] <M06w> HEY. why are there only two workspaces now
[08:31] <doopsie>  hello, i recently just installed the driver for the inbuilt webcam on asus w5f laptop, but the adjustments like brightness/contrast and other stuff cannot work. The colour is terribly off as well. Is it possible to change this manuallY?
[08:31] <bruenig> M06w, right click on the workspaces click properties and change it
[08:32] <thePuck> it's a permissions issue... sudo chmod -R 777 /dev/hdc1 # or whatever your device path is
[08:32] <ssmasud> plypkie...i am sorry...i was disconnected
[08:32] <M06w> thanks
[08:32] <Flannel> thePuck that's a horrible idea
[08:32] <harrisony1> james296, i dont know why as i use a 32bit system all i can say is try on the forums and see what happens :( sorry
[08:32] <thePuck> if he just wants access from a livecd?
[08:32] <ircleuser> hi, im new to linux, anyone can tell me how to install amsn, i downloaded a .package installer, thanks
[08:32] <thePuck> or did I misunderstand the problem?
[08:32] <Flannel> thePuck: chmodding the entire drive?
[08:32] <deboyo> does anyone know how to slow down the movement of a bluetooth mouse?
[08:33] <bruenig> ircleuser, you can install it from the ubuntu repositories
[08:33] <harrisony1> Yodude, http://www.ntfs-3g.org/
[08:33] <plypkie> ssmasood: so my /sbin/ipw3945d program came in the linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-10-generic package
[08:33] <deboyo> xset only affects the touchpad
[08:33] <bruenig> ircleuser, you have to enable the universe repository and then do sudo apt-get install amsn
[08:33] <thePuck> if he isn't able to access it from user...I ran into the same issue once mounting from a livecd
[08:33] <plypkie> ssmasood: maybe there's new stuff in 2.6.17 that you need
[08:33] <ircleuser> brueing, do i have to add the repository?
[08:33] <Flannel> !ntfs | Yodude, this will allow you to read your C drive
[08:33] <ubotu> Yodude, this will allow you to read your C drive: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - See also !fuse
[08:33] <bruenig> ircleuser, what version of ubuntu are you using?
[08:34] <doopsie> could anyone help me with the problem im facing?
[08:34] <Flannel> thePuck: he needs to mount it with different permissions, umask for most filesystems, there are other masks for other FSs, chmodding recursively is never the answer
[08:34] <foosh> Use Mepis
[08:34] <ircleuser> bruein: 6.06
[08:34] <ssmasud> plypkie.....my kernel is 2.6.15..actually i need to install NS2...for that I need a compiler GCC.....for that i need build essential
[08:34] <imbecile> checking for libevent directory... configure: error: Could not find a linkable l ibevent. You can specify an explicit path using --with-libevent-dir
[08:34] <harrisony1> Yodude, add the ntfs-3g repository (its on here somewere http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ ) and then follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions?
[08:34] <GefilteTrish> Anyone know how to make ld behave/
[08:34] <GefilteTrish> ?
[08:35] <plypkie> ssmasud: can't you just get the packages for 2.6.17?
[08:35] <thePuck> is ntfs-3g stable now?
[08:35] <feross> Jason: no, DSL has a gui that can configure almost everything.. DSLPanel or one of those icons that comes up
[08:35] <Flannel> thePuck: not yet
[08:35] <bruenig> ircleuser, ok copy and paste the following in the terminal, the entire thing after the colon, it will add all the extra repositories, then update, then download and install amsn: sudo sed -e 's/# deb/deb/g' -e 's/dapper universe/dapper universe multiverse/g' -e 's/dapper-security universe/dapper-security universe multiverse/g' -i.backup /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install amsn
[08:35] <feross> Jason: I think the window manager is fluxbox
[08:35] <bruenig> ircleuser, copy and paste it all at once
[08:35] <Yodude> k harrisonyu
[08:35] <harrisony1> thePuck, stable enough to use i guess but apart from that i dont think (as i single boot)
[08:35] <Flannel> Yodude: to just read the drive, you don't need ntfs-3g, that page will explain how easy it is to read your C drive, without other stuff
[08:35] <ssmasud> plypkie....HOW???....i am just wasting time on ubuntu....i need to start working on NS2....can u take me there ANYHOW??
[08:36] <harrisony1> Yodude, any time , happy to help
[08:36] <ssmasud> plypkie...can u just enable my internet ...anyhow???

[08:45] <cwillu> ~eth
[08:45] <cwillu> !eth
[08:45] <feross> Answer: you can comment everythnig out, kill all of the scripts under cron, delete the syslogd scirpts and things like that to get rid of all logging...
[08:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about eth - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:45] <cwillu> !interfaces

[08:45] <bruenig> imbecile, what are you doing again
[08:45] <harrisony1> ken, run network-admin and disable all of them and try reboot
[08:46] <harrisony1> and see what it does
[08:46] <cwillu> whats the file I need to wipe to clear/reset how ubuntu maps network devices?
[08:46] <bruenig> ircleuser, there is no native support for amd64 flash
[08:46] <Answer> feross, I don't want to disable logging, just logrotate.  it looks like it is only rotating wtmp anyways.
[08:46] <ken> harrisony1: ok let me try
[08:46] <imbecile> bruenig, installing tor
[08:46] <bruenig> ircleuser, if you are new to linux, I would seriously consider going with the i386 version
[08:46] <bruenig> imbecile, compiling it or from the repositories?
[08:46] <imbecile> from repo
[08:46] <feross> Answer: just comment it out then
[08:46] <christian1222> hi guys, is there an easy way to rename a directory without creating a new one and then transferrring all the contents of the old directory to the new one?
[08:46] <imbecile>   $ apt-get update
[08:46] <imbecile>   $ apt-get install tor
[08:47] <imbecile> trying that but it says i need troot
[08:47] <imbecile> root*
[08:47] <harrisony1> im add sudo to both
[08:47] <ken> harrisony1: But theres only one wired connection (my current ADSL) on, whats the use of disabling the only (single) and working Internet connection
[08:47] <ircleuser> brueing: thank you, i will give it a try
[08:47] <bruenig> imbecile, sudo apt-get install tor
[08:47] <harrisony1> ken, try it and see what it does
[08:47] <imbecile> ahhh thats it
[08:47] <jadacyrus> Does www.msdewey.com freeze anyone elses browser?
[08:47] <CryptoMole> hey all
[08:47] <harrisony1> !offtopic | jadacyrus
[08:47] <ubotu> jadacyrus: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[08:47] <imbecile> bruenig, i'll be a linux pro in no time ;P
[08:48] <harrisony1> cyphase, dont worry about saying hi just ask :D
[08:48] <jadacyrus> ?
[08:48] <ken> harrisony1: ok
[08:48] <harrisony1> ask in #ubuntu-offtopic jadacyrus here is for support
[08:48] <bruenig> imbecile, yeah, just precede any command that needs root privileges with sudo
[08:48] <jadacyrus> it is a support question
[08:48] <Answer> feross, so if I comment out /etc/logrotate.conf it will not run at all?  what about all the crons
[08:48] <ken> HELP: I want Firefox to ask me whether it should remember the password or not at mail.yahoo.com. But it doesn't do it. SO i checked Options>Secuirty --passwords --exceptions, and cleared the whole list. But still i dont get asked at mail.yahoo.com, whether firefox should remember my yahoo passwords. I want my mail.yahoo.com's passwords to be automatically remembered, how do i do that?
[08:48] <Gartral> hey guys, i need help, my cd roms arnt being reconized by my system, i cant bur to or read from either drive
[08:48] <CryptoMole> I just heard this nasty rumor in irc channel that ubuntu was making friends with microsoft
[08:48] <cyphase> harrisony1: i think you mean CryptoMole
[08:49] <imbecile> bruenig, can you recommend any books for noobs?
[08:49] <Answer> feross, and if logrotate doesn't run am I in danger of the disk filling up?
[08:49] <ssmasod> can anybody solve my WIFI issue over here???
[08:49] <harrisony1> cyphase, yeah sorry bout that
[08:49] <Answer> imbecile, get any of hte o'reilly series like linux in a nutshell
[08:49] <cyphase> harrisony1: np
[08:49] <bruenig> ken, yahoo is weird about that, it doesn't like to allow that to happen, I've noticed that
[08:49] <hastesaver> ken, that's because yahoo requests the browser not to remember it
[08:49] <hastesaver> ken, install the AlwaysRememberPassword extension
[08:49] <imbecile> Answer, thanks
[08:49] <ircleuser> brueing: so i should not have any problems installing the x86 version in my amd64?
[08:49] <bruenig> imbecile, I didn't read any books, you just sort of pick it up as you go. When you don't know something go to the forums, irc, google and look for it and then you will remember it for sure
[08:50] <harrisony1> jadacyrus, more people would help you in #ubuntu-offtopic as its not directly related to ubuntu
[08:50] <hastesaver> ken, Firefox would happily remove this "feature", but apparently some banking sites insist on it
[08:50] <feross> Answer: look into the crons, you can get it out of there.. also yes you might run into a disk becoming full problem.
[08:50] <christian1222> imbecile: ive been using "A practical guide to Linux" by Mark Sobell
[08:50] <feross> ssmasod: what's the problem?
[08:50] <harrisony1> whta, thanks for waiting what was the site you were downloading that driver from
[08:50] <bruenig> ircleuser, no, I am running x86 on my amd64 right now. Installs just like amd64, put the live cd in and go
[08:50] <CryptoMole> in a nutshell id be nuts if that was true
[08:50] <imbecile> christian1222, thanks
[08:50] <ken> bruenig: hastesaver: NO, but before it used to ask me, and saved my passwords alright, how do i re-enable that functionality. And moreover in my laptop it remembers the password alright
[08:50] <ircleuser> brueing: thanks for your help
[08:50] <Answer> feross, the daily cron doesnt cause any problem but every sunday my program crashes.  the only difference in the cron.weekly is "popularity-contest"  what the hell is that?
[08:50] <hastesaver> ken, before it used to ask you -- on Firefox? Sure?
[08:50] <christian1222> imbecile: its been pretty good so far, just to learn the basics. I like it because it is non-specific for distros, just linux, so the stuff in there is good for all distros
[08:51] <ken> hastesaver: ya ya ya!!!!
[08:51] <GefilteTrish> Anyone know anything about ld and mikmod?
[08:51] <christian1222> imbecile: I think its was like $30 or $40 from barnes and noble, its a good reference too
[08:51] <harrisony1> !ld
[08:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ld - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:51] <feross> Answer: not sure,, what does in run?
[08:51] <harrisony1> !mikmod
[08:51] <ubotu> mikmod: Portable tracked music player. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.2.1-2 (edgy), package size 53 kB, installed size 164 kB
[08:51] <hastesaver> ken, strange because Firefox isn't supposed to do that :-) Get this: http://roachfiend.com/archives/2005/03/03/always-remember-password/
[08:52] <harrisony1> whta, see my private message
[08:52] <feross> Answer: oh, nm 'man popularity-contest' looks fine
[08:52] <feross> Answer: I have it to
[08:52] <ken> hastesaver: How do i use that?
[08:52] <feross> ssmasod: what's the deal with your wifi?
[08:53] <Answer> feross, how can I uninstall just popularity-contest and leave ubuntu-standard?
[08:53] <plypkie> ssmasood: i'm just some guy who started using ubuntu yesterday
[08:53] <hastesaver> ken, just click on the "install this..." link, wait for it to install, and then forget about it. Everything will work as you want it to :-)
[08:53] <ssmasood> feross....thanks for replying....i have an intel proset wireless 3945a/b/g...ubuntu version 6.06....but my Wifi seems to be not working....
[08:53] <plypkie> ssmasood: i'm at work right now, so i'm not gonna drop everything to help you
[08:53] <plypkie> ssmasood: but i'm trying my best, with very little available time
[08:53] <harrisony1> Answer, turn it off dont worry about uninstalling
[08:53] <feross> ssmasud: usually what I tell people is... comment out everything in /etc/network/interfaces .. install network-manager "nm-applet" reboot and run wifi through that program.. remove the gnome-network-applet thing from task panel
[08:53] <ken> hastesaver: So when i click that bookmarklet on yahoo.com, firefox shall ask me whether to remember the password or not?
[08:54] <ssmasood> feros....where do i get nm-applet from???....
[08:54] <crparr> Hi! How can I have a look at the knetworkmanager configuration?
[08:54] <hastesaver> ken, you don't even have to remember to click that bookmarklet on yahoo.com. You just have to install it *once*, and then all the misbehaving sites (including yahoo.com) will automatically ask you whether to remember the password or not.
[08:54] <antmazO> i installed the  w32codecs dont you have to install them its not giving anyinformation on the site after you downloaded it

[09:02] <theflyingfool_> what kind of isues
[09:03] <ken> theflyingfool_: What issues you had?
[09:03] <ken> haxr4hire: what else?
[09:03] <cwillu> I've got two wired network cards;  one one particular machine, every time I rebot, it seems to switch eth1 and eth2 (and eth0 just never exists), and I have no idea why
[09:03] <theflyingfool_> ken: wouldnt download my email on a regular basis
[09:03] <ken> theflyingfool_: that shouldn't happen!!!!!!!!
[09:03] <Answer> theflyingfool_, try  /msg nickserv help    there are commands to release and kill the ghost
[09:03] <harrisony1> theflyingfool_, how oftern did you say update?

[09:04] <ken> harrisony1: You prefer evolution or thunderbird?

[09:05] <harrisony1> haxr4hire, yes and #ubuntu-xgl has the official ubuntu channel
[09:06] <haxr4hire> thanks i didnt know that
[09:06] <Answer> cwillu, I have the same problem.  look into /etc/iftab
[09:06] <cwillu> Answer: beautiful, thanks!
[09:07] <Answer> cwillu, the default entry for eth0 is why you never get that device name.  allegedly you can make an entry there to force the devices to have the same name.  let me know if you get it to actually work for you
[09:07] <cwillu> Answer: definately;  have some place that I can tell you if it works?  (won't know until that location stops having difficulties for a couple days)
[09:08] <Answer> cwillu, you can catch me here most times.  it worked when I assigned by mac address, but I tried assigning by module and it did not work
[09:09] <Answer> cwillu, trying to make an image is very difficult when the ethernet devices flip flop...
[09:09] <cwillu> Answer: how do you think I got myself in this predicament :)

[09:12] <Answer> Yodude, are you sure its fat32 and not ntfs windows partition?  is it mounted in read-write mode
[09:12] <gnuyen> my system is borked hard enough that dpkg -r --force doesn't work
[09:13] <harrisony1> gnuyen, uninstall a program?
[09:13] <gnuyen> i just need to delete the entry so that dpkg/apt don't think it's installed anymore
[09:13] <gnuyen> i installed a broken .deb i think
[09:13] <gnuyen> and it won't uninstall
[09:13] <gnuyen> so i need to just delete the files by hand and remove the entry from the database
[09:14] <harrisony1> um iirc you need find the joint were alll the downloaded reps are stored and change whatever to uninstalled
[09:14] <Answer> gnuyen, apt-get remove --purge [packagenamehere] 
[09:14] <siv0x> gnuyen: cd /dir/
[09:14] <cwillu> Answer: by module, you mean kernel driver used, or something based on the pci bus?
[09:14] <siv0x> gnuyen: rm "filename.deb"
[09:14] <Answer> cwillu, yeah by kernel drive from lsmod.  it says in man iftab that you can assign by mac address or module
[09:14] <danielk> hi, anyone here experienced busybox cant access tty bug?
[09:15] <gnuyen> if I do that I get E: The package awcommon needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[09:15] <gnuyen> it's really really broken
[09:15] <gnuyen> I need to do some bad stuff to get rid of it i think
[09:15] <siv0x> I have no clue, just make sure you are setting your cd /dir/ to the right place its at.
[09:15] <theflyingfool> would having a really short time between requests to download email cause it to fail downloading?

[09:17] <ken> HEY! Someone helped me with the bookmark to make yahoo.com remember the passwords who was it?
[09:18] <ken> harrisony1: was it you?
[09:18] <Answer> cwillu, from "man iftab" Matches the name of the kernel driver that owns the device which
[09:18] <Answer>  can be obtained by using ethtool
[09:18] <cwillu> which matches the output of lsmod anyway, right
[09:19] <crparr> Answer: Well, it seems that the configuration interface uses the ascii input, not hex... then 63 chars are the maximum
[09:20] <Answer> cwillu, I guess so.  like I said I didn't get it to work
[09:20] <antmazO>  were do i find libdvdcss2 this its not in the synaptic
[09:20] <theflyingfool> has anyone ever seen this channel with less than 800 people

[09:21] <ken> HEY! Anyone here uses the "remember password" bookmarklet, to remember passwords for bank sites or yahoo.com?
[09:21] <cwillu> I've got a test bench coming back in a few days though
[09:21] <antmazO> wine sucks with some programs half life works
[09:21] <Answer> cwillu, we actually thought about alias'ing reboot to reboot twice
[09:21] <cwillu> lol!!
[09:21] <cwillu> took me a second :)
[09:22] <Answer> cwillu, you can also write a script to ping the default gateway and flip eth1 and eth2 then to /etc/init.d/networking restart..
[09:22] <cwillu> Answer: ultimately, that's what I'd like to be able to do via iftab or network manager or whatever
[09:23] <ken> Anyone here uses the "remember password" bookmarklet, to remember passwords for bank sites or yahoo.com?
[09:23] <cwillu> Answer: "however the monkeys plug in the cables, figure out which side has the server and which side has the internet, and do the Right Thing"
[09:24] <cwillu> Answer: the head monkey has a nasty habit of unplugging stuff so he has a cable to plug his laptop into :p

[09:27] <crparr> wpa_passphrase generates a passphrase using the ssid and a password, 64 chars long. But in my admin interface I have to enter an ASCII passphrase (max. 63 chars long). What can I do, to get connected?
[09:28] <ken> nolimitsoya: :()
[09:28] <crparr> entering any passphrase returns 2 errors:

[09:29] <ken> I have gone nuts :(
[09:29] <crparr> I'm planning to change it anyway...
[09:29] <crparr> sorry.......
[09:29] <nolimitsoya> crparr, you shouldnt be posting your encryption codes in an open chat :)
[09:29] <crparr> yes, I know...
[09:29] <theflyingfool> what do the hidden folders in the home dir contain?
[09:29] <ThePub> What about the ubuntu install would block "alt-a" in a bare X session?
[09:29] <nolimitsoya> theflyingfool, settings and free cookies
[09:29] <paitart> what are the USB/PCMCIA wifi adapters compatible with Ubuntu 6.06? Which do not require installation and PnP?
[09:29] <crparr> very, very stupid
[09:30] <ken> crparr: indeed :)
[09:30] <crparr> But I'm changing it anyway...
[09:30] <nolimitsoya> paitart, did you check the wifi docs?
[09:30] <crparr> at least that's what I'm trying to do...
[09:30] <paitart> nolimitsoya: where can i find those?
[09:30] <ken> nolimitsoya: y5?
[09:30] <nolimitsoya> !wifi | paitart
[09:30] <ubotu> paitart: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[09:30] <theflyingfool> nolimitsoya: i want to reinstall fresh, should i back the whole folder up or just my files
[09:30] <nolimitsoya> ken?
[09:31] <ken> nolimitsoya: y-5 (say it)
[09:31] <Answer> crparr, wpa_passphrase takes in the ascii and gives you a hex.  put the output of wpa_passphrase into the wpa_supplicant.conf file.
[09:31] <nolimitsoya> theflyingfool, depends... do you want to keep you settings, email and all goodness? :)
[09:31] <nolimitsoya> y-5
[09:31] <paitart> nolimitsoya: thanks! salamat!
[09:31] <theflyingfool> nolimitsoya: i think just email since im not sure what settings i have,
[09:32] <nolimitsoya> theflyingfool, then export all email and store them in a safe place. why do you want to do a fresh install?
[09:33] <ken> bye! HAPPY UBUNT-ing
[09:33] <theflyingfool> nolimitsoya: in my attempts at trying to figure out what programs i like, i installed a lot of stuff and it would be faster, to reinstall then figure out all of them to uninstall
[09:33] <nolimitsoya> theflyingfool, i seriously doubt that, but anyway, backup everything in /home and youll save yourself some headache
[09:34] <nolimitsoya> theflyingfool, and dont just copy the files, tar them to preserve permissions and all else
[09:34] <theflyingfool> what are the most common folders people keep on sepearte partions?
[09:34] <nolimitsoya> theflyingfool, /home
[09:34] <nolimitsoya> and /boot, on rare occations
[09:35] <Answer> theflyingfool, /boot is good on another part
[09:35] <sid> Where can I see what are the main supported packages for Ubuntu, ie the default packages capable of being installed with synaptic
[09:35] <nolimitsoya> sid, open synaptic
[09:35] <theflyingfool> how do i tar something
[09:36] <nolimitsoya> sid, since there are tens of thousands packages, it wouldnt make sense to keep a list...
[09:36] <arrenlex> theflyingfool: tar cf archive.tar <files>
[09:36] <nolimitsoya> theflyingfool, read 'man tar'
[09:36] <Answer> theflyingfool, you are asking ridiculous questions now...
[09:36] <nolimitsoya> arrenlex, thats not what he wants...
[09:36] <arrenlex> nolimitsoya: Please explain?
[09:36] <theflyingfool> in the windows world permissions are well not to important on a single user system
[09:37] <Answer> theflyingfool,   tar -czvf mytar.tgz [listoffiles] 
[09:37] <zach> hey, do any of you guys know how I can mount my secondary hard drive in Ubuntu?
[09:37] <nolimitsoya> he want to do a full backup, so cpzf would be more apropriate, for starters
[09:37] <theflyingfool> zach edit fstab
[09:37] <violot> I just did that two days ago
[09:37] <arrenlex> nolimitsoya: A full backup of what form? If he needs to restore from the backup, he might want dd.
[09:37] <violot> zach: Create a folder where you want it
[09:37] <nolimitsoya> arrenlex, his /home
[09:38] <zach> theflyingfool: I'm brand new to linux, idk what edit fstab means...
[09:38] <nolimitsoya> arrenlex, which isnt on a separate partition it seems, so dd is no good...
[09:38] <arrenlex> nolimitsoya: Ah. Well, he asked how to tar stuff *shrug* I guess in his case I would use tar cjf homebackup.tar /home
[09:38] <yu_raider> how do I enable ACPI? I downloaded a program named acpitools but it tells me that there's no ACPI support in kernel. I'm using the default UBUNTU kernel, by the way.
[09:38] <theflyingfool> zach, have you formated the hard drive
[09:38] <arrenlex> That's homebackup.tar.bz2
[09:39] <yu_raider> my USB is not working, someone says it's because of ACPI not being enabled
[09:39] <zach> it was formated by windows when I used to run it w/ that
[09:39] <Answer> yu_raider, apt-get install acpi and acpid
[09:39] <someguy> no one has a clue why xvid causes audi to skip in vlc but not in totem or mplayer?
[09:39] <yu_raider> tnx
[09:39] <someguy> audio  ^^^
[09:39] <nolimitsoya> arrenlex, but that wouldnt preserve permissions...
[09:39] <arrenlex> nolimitsoya: Yes it would.
[09:40] <theflyingfool> zach : if you need to back stuff up from it im not completly sure how to help but if your willing to lose everyhing, format it to a linux freindly filesytem
[09:40] <yu_raider> both acpi and acpid are installed and fresh
[09:40] <arrenlex> nolimitsoya: Tarballs preserve permissions AFAIK.
[09:40] <nolimitsoya> arrenlex, sure? O.o whats the -p for then?
[09:40] <Answer> zach, type in "dmesg | grep ide0"   is that your first harddrive?
[09:40] <someguy> suppose i'm not even going to get a guess...
[09:40] <zach> I cant do that, I already have like 40/120 gb used on it w/ all my media
[09:40] <Answer> yu_raider, type uname -a,  what kernel version do you have
[09:41] <zach> I just need to find how to "mount" it
[09:41] <yu_raider> Linux Distruptor 2.6.15-23-386 #1 PREEMPT Tue May 23 13:49:40 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
[09:41] <nolimitsoya> zach, have you read 'man mount'?
[09:41] <pokesmot> I need someones opinion...what are the best movie players for ubuntu and the best mp3 players?
[09:42] <nolimitsoya> pokesmot, amarok for music, and mplayer for video
[09:42] <nolimitsoya> pokesmot, or perhaps vlc...
[09:42] <zach> no, I've not read "man mount" idk where anything is here, I'm a noob
[09:42] <someguy> argh..
[09:42] <arrenlex> nolimitsoya: I just checked. tar as normal user preserves permissions.
[09:42] <pokesmot> thanks
[09:42] <nolimitsoya> arrenlex, jolly good :)
[09:42] <zach> Answer: where do I type that stuff that you just said?
[09:42] <nolimitsoya> zach, type man mount in a terminal
[09:42] <Answer> zach,  "mkdir /mnt/windows"    "mount -t ntfs DEVICE /mnt/windows"
[09:43] <Rookie_> man and apropos - sudo mount -what_fs_you_have /source /mountpoint
[09:43] <yu_raider> help, anyone :|? my kernel version is Linux Distruptor 2.6.15-23-386 #1 PREEMPT Tue May 23 13:49:40 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
[09:43] <yu_raider> yet still no ACPI :)
[09:43] <siv0x> After i updated from dapper to edgy, theres this thing that keeps popping up for updates, i updated from it like 3 or 4 times now.. is this normal?
[09:43] <phatlip> anyone know where the evolution IRC channel is?
[09:43] <arrenlex> yu_raider: Are you on dapper?
[09:43] <theflyingfool> anwer: can you mount ntfs without ntfsprogs?
[09:43] <yu_raider> yep, dapper
[09:43] <Rookie_> theflyingfool - yes, but no write perms
[09:43] <yu_raider> I think it worked alright on breezy
[09:44] <theflyingfool> nolimitsoyo: while you and arrenlex where trying to deside which command to use i got lost, which one is the proper command to tar
[09:44] <zach> hm, I just typed that stuff int my console, but it just came out w/ command not found
[09:44] <Angelus> hi everyone
[09:45] <nolimitsoya> theflyingfool, as i said, read man tar. its better to understand than to follow
[09:45] <Angelus> I was wondering if I could ask for some help??? :)

[09:46] <nolimitsoya> theflyingfool, yes
[09:46] <siv0x> Why wont it let me login as root, its saying my root password is wrong.. and i know its not.
[09:46] <theflyingfool> is there a way to open man tar with gedit ?
[09:46] <Rookie_> theflyingfool - otherwise you have tldp.org
[09:46] <arrenlex> !root | siv0x
[09:46] <ubotu> siv0x: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:47] <nolimitsoya> theflyingfool, no
[09:47] <coolrazor007> Hey, anyone know where I can download the default /etc/apache2/ config files?
[09:47] <nolimitsoya> theflyingfool, type 'man tar' in a terminal
[09:47] <arrenlex> theflyingfool: Sure. man tar > /tmp/man && gedit /tmp/man
[09:47] <nolimitsoya> >_<

[09:48] <arrenlex> siv0x: No it isn't.
[09:48] <Angelus> Can anyone help me set up a connection with Bluetooth to my nokia phone?
[09:48] <arrenlex> !bluetooth | Angelus

[09:49] <Angelus> thank you
[09:49] <coolrazor007> I have Ubuntu and tried "sudo apt-get install apache2", but it didn't install those config files... I deleted them earlier hoping I could start over with fresh configs.
[09:49] <yu_raider> !acpi
[09:49] <ubotu> acpi: displays information on ACPI devices. In component main, is optional. Version 0.09-1 (edgy), package size 10 kB, installed size 72 kB (Only available for i386 ia64 amd64)
[09:49] <yu_raider> :)
[09:50] <nolimitsoya> coolrazor007, try install --reinstall instead
[09:50] <siv0x> i'm getting all kinds of error messages, like nothing is working right.
[09:50] <arrenlex> siv0x: Error messages such as?
[09:51] <siv0x> Configuration, file/siv0x/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals "not writable"
[09:52] <arrenlex> siv0x: What's the output of "ls -ld $HOME"?
[09:52] <siv0x> "Could not start process Unable to create, read only file system"
[09:52] <siv0x> sec
[09:52] <arrenlex> siv0x: Why is your filesystem readonly? o_O
[09:53] <siv0x> arrenlex: it wasnt before i updated to edgy..
[09:55] <Angelus> what program do you use to connect to a nokia 6230?
[09:55] <yu_raider> where is acpi_path variable located :)?
[09:56] <siv0x> arrenlex: i'm just going to pop the 6.10 liveCD in and try to reformatt that way. have a fresh new start
[09:56] <coolrazor007> "sudo apt-get --reinstall apache2" gives me: E: Invalid operation apache
[09:56] <arrenlex> siv0x: If you want. You can probably get your system fixed with a little effort.
[09:56] <arrenlex> coolrazor007: It's apt-get install --reinstall
[09:57] <siv0x> arrenlex: well that would be nice but with all these error messages its hard to do anything.
[09:57] <coolrazor007> arrenlex: thanks!
[09:57] <arrenlex> siv0x: Not if you boot from the liveCD and rescue the system from there.
[09:57] <ademan> how do you create a new group from the commmand line?
[09:57] <arrenlex> ademan: addgroup
[09:57] <zach> alright, so I'm horrible at this still guys...  is there any way you could send me a link to an instruction manual
[09:58] <zach> to "mount" this hd?
[09:58] <ademan> arrenlex: thanks
[09:58] <arrenlex> zach: mount /dev/<device> <mountpoint>. What's the problem?
[09:58] <siv0x> arrenlex: my livecd is 6.06, well the only one i can get to work, the other one says "cannot display, not supported" or something like that when i try to boot
[09:58] <arrenlex> siv0x: Interesting. With what card?
[09:59] <siv0x> arrenlex: nvidia geforce 6800
[09:59] <zach> I'm new here and I'm just trying to get my secondary hd mounted so I can access it
[09:59] <arrenlex> siv0x: Odd.
[09:59] <zach> and my sound card
[09:59] <beginn3r> error: stdio.h: No such file or directory
[09:59] <arrenlex> zach: What partition of your secondary hd?
[09:59] <beginn3r> anyone got the same problem with gcc 4?
[09:59] <arrenlex> !compile | beginn3r
[09:59] <ubotu> beginn3r: 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!)
[10:00] <zach> its just a blanked out one that I put a bunch of media on when my windows was working
[10:00] <arrenlex> beginn3r: In particular make sure you have build-essential installed.
[10:00] <siv0x> arrenlex: Though, i really wouldnt mind having a fresh 6.10. - i've kinda just experimented with this one and it didnt work out so well. - i havent used linux in about 2 years.
[10:00] <arrenlex> zach: Is it plugged in?
[10:00] <coolrazor007> arrenlex: I ran the command and did the reinstall, but in /etc/apache2/ there is only one file "httpd.conf" aren't I supposed to have "ports.conf" and such?
[10:00] <beginn3r> what should I do?
[10:00] <arrenlex> siv0x: Alright, your call.
[10:00] <borg> oh my god that is it, i'm installing Pc emulator
[10:00] <siv0x> arrenlex: so without the Edgy LiveCD not displaying, anything i can do to fix this?
[10:01] <zach> ya, its plugged it fine
[10:01] <yu_raider> damn acpi
[10:01] <zach> I registers in my device list
[10:01] <yu_raider> how do I change the ACPI path?
[10:01] <zach> as the slave
[10:01] <arrenlex> siv0x: I don't know why it's not displaying. You could try booting with safe graphics, or file a bug report, or try installing from the alternate CD in text mode...
[10:01] <arrenlex> zach: Pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l"/
[10:01] <arrenlex> zach: Pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l"
[10:02] <rcrook> hi all... has anyone here ever used a logitech quick cam on ubuntu? sucsessfully?
[10:02] <siv0x> arrenlex: when i try installing in safe video mode, I get a bunch of different color lines up and accross the screen..
[10:02] <arrenlex> !hardware | rcrook
[10:02] <ubotu> rcrook: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[10:02] <arrenlex> siv0x: That doesn't sound good.
[10:02] <zach> ok, I have the 2 hd's listed in there
[10:02] <zach> what do I do now?
[10:02] <siv0x> arrenlex: i know.. but this one worked fine untill i tried to update to edgy.
[10:03] <arrenlex> zach: Pastebin it.
[10:03] <arrenlex> zach: So I can see it.
[10:03] <rcrook> thanks arrenlex... but It does run... only it hangs the pc after about 3 minutes.
[10:03] <arrenlex> !pastebin | zach
[10:03] <ubotu> zach: 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)
[10:03] <zach> oh, yeah, about that, idk what that means
[10:03] <siv0x> arrenlex: i think i'll be fine doing it through konsole, if you give me all the commands that i will need to apt-get everything to get back on desktop
[10:03] <arrenlex> zach: Pastebin allows you to "upload" text to the internet, so rather than spamming the channel by pasting your 20 lines, you can paste us a link to those 20 lines on the internet.
[10:04] <arrenlex> zach: It is a "bin" which keeps "pastes". Hence pastebin.
[10:04] <zach> ya
[10:04] <arrenlex> siv0x: Do you mean, guide you through a text-mode install?
[10:04] <zach> did that work?
[10:04] <siv0x> arrenlex: yeah
[10:04] <yu_raider> how to change acpi path
[10:04] <arrenlex> zach: You need to paste us the link.
[10:05] <coolrazor007> I reinstalled apache2 with apt-get install --reinstall, but it only place httpd.conf in /etc/apache2/ aren't I supposed to have ports.conf and such?
[10:05] <siv0x> arrenlex: maybe we could run through ssh, or something?
[10:05] <arrenlex> siv0x: It's incredibly self-explanatory. There are no commands to run. It is a graphical installer, except it uses console-based dialogs.
[10:05] <zach> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39432/
[10:05] <rcrook> arrenlex: thank you thank you thank you... LOL.. now i uderstand :) thanks.
[10:05] <zach> I hope that works, its saying something about making corrections and junk
[10:05] <arrenlex> zach: Good job! :)
[10:05] <beginn3r> error: stdio.h: No such file or directory <--what's the problem?
[10:06] <arrenlex> beginn3r: Do you have the build-essential package installed?
[10:06] <siv0x> arrenlex, oh. okay how do i get it to do this install instead of the normal one?
[10:06] <arrenlex> siv0x: You need to download the alternate cd instead.
[10:06] <arrenlex> !alternate | siv0x
[10:06] <ubotu> siv0x: 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.
[10:06] <zach> sorry arrenlex, I'm BRAND new at this stuff w/ no code experience, just looking to break in a lil
[10:06] <imbecile> hey you guys, i was wondering what the desktop tool was that shows system resources like cpu usage disk usage etc..
[10:06] <arrenlex> zach: Oh. xD You're being too literal.
[10:06] <beginn3r> arrenlex, now downloading
[10:06] <beginn3r> so that's the problem
[10:07] <liquiddoom> imbecile: gkrellm?
[10:07] <beginn3r> I thought  everything  comes with  gcc
[10:07] <arrenlex> zach: When people enclose things in <>, it means SOMETHING MUST GO HERE. For example, if I were making a template to describe cats, I might say "cats are <adjective>", and you are supposed to put whatever adjective applies to your situation.
[10:07] <siv0x> arrenlex: okay i'm going to go play around with the liveCD to see if i can maybe get it working.
[10:07] <zach> I understand
[10:08] <arrenlex> zach: Therefore, when I say  mount /dev/<device> <mountpoint>, I mean that you need to replace <device> with the actual device name, like sdb, and <mountmount> with whatever folder you want to mount it to, like /mnt/secondrive
[10:08] <zach> ok, cool, I'll try that then, uno momento
[10:08] <arrenlex> zach: For example, a valid command might be "mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/seconddrive".
[10:08] <arrenlex> zach: Hold on. You need to use the right stuff.
[10:08] <zach> k
[10:08] <imbecile> liquiddoom, i dunno is it similar to the thing in the bottom right corner in the screenshot http://remote-exploit.org/index.php/Main_Page
[10:08] <arrenlex> zach: Do you know the device name of what you're trying to mount? I assume not.
[10:09] <arrenlex> zach: Therefore, run the command "sudo fdisk -l" and pastebin the output. I'll help you figure it out.
[10:09] <zach> ok
[10:09] <liquiddoom> imbecile: That's conky
[10:09] <imbecile> gkrellm similar?
[10:09] <liquiddoom> Yep.
[10:09] <imbecile> nice thanks
[10:09] <liquiddoom> Conky takes less resources though
[10:09] <arrenlex> zach: Also, are you looking to mount this drive just once (only until reboot), or do you want it mounted permanently?
[10:10] <zach> permanently
[10:10] <imbecile> liquiddoom, will it autoload when i boot up?
[10:10] <liquiddoom> If you go into "Sessions", you can tell it to run on boot.
[10:11] <arrenlex> zach: Ah, then you will have to use fstab instead. We'll get to that later. For now, give me your "sudo fdisk -l" output please.
[10:11] <liquiddoom> Under "Startup Programs".
[10:11] <Angelus> does anyone know of the program Maximo?
[10:11] <imbecile> okay thanks, that just answered ALOT of my questions..hehe i have stuff i wanted to run at boot
[10:11] <zach> didnt you get it from the pastebin?
[10:12] <arrenlex> zach: Oh. You did run fdisk -l. I'm sorry. xD I only looked at the first line.
[10:13] <zach> its ok
[10:13] <zach> if you want I have the "sudo fdisk -l"
[10:13] <eXiLiUm> Greetings all ubuntu users.. :)
[10:13] <arrenlex> zach: okay. What folder would you like this mounted in?
[10:13] <arrenlex> zach: I got it, thanks. It was in your pastebin.
[10:14] <zach> can I just call it, 2? or secondharddrive or whatever you said
[10:14] <zach> it doesnt really matter to me
[10:14] <zach> or just "media hard drive"
[10:14] <arrenlex> zach: Yes, but what folder? Do you have a preference for where it is located?
[10:15] <zach> no, as long as it'll work and I can access my music and stuff
[10:15] <arrenlex> zach: Would you like it mounted to a folder in your home directory? A folder in /media? A folder in /mount? Would you like it to be a root folder?
[10:15] <zach> ya, sure
[10:15] <zach> which do you suggest?
[10:15] <arrenlex> zach: That was multiple choice. xD It's not yes\no.
[10:15] <zach> cuz roots are usually better right?
[10:15] <arrenlex> zach: If you want to use it for music, it's most convenient to put it in your home directory.
[10:15] <zach> root I guess
[10:15] <coolrazor007> Any apache2 guys in here?  I could use a hand with something...
[10:15] <antmazO> how do i setup flash to work through mozilla i found it on ubuntu site but its not working
[10:15] <zach> ya
[10:16] <liquiddoom> antmazO: What's the problem?
[10:16] <arrenlex> zach: That's not what it means. Being in the root of the filesystem just means that the folder won't be in another folder. It'd be something like /harddrive rather than /afolder/harddrive
[10:16] <zach> right
[10:16] <PORDO> what do i need to have installed for basic C++ programs?
[10:16] <arrenlex> zach: Home is best. Run this command as normal user: "mkdir ~/music"
[10:16] <PORDO> isn't istream.h going to be included?
[10:16] <zach> root would def. be best
[10:16] <zach> right
[10:16] <arrenlex> PORDO: "for" them? To compile them? To write them? To run them?
[10:17] <antmazO> on this site the first command i type it in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash?highlight=%28flash%29
[10:17] <eXiLiUm> Is there a comand in ubuntu, that makes system defaults??
[10:18] <antmazO> now i have 6.10 and for some reason i dont know how to set the headgy hgor or what ever the hell it is ha , cause the setup forgnome is different
[10:18] <Chevronx> How can I open lit files in Ubuntu?
[10:18] <liquiddoom> antmazO: Run sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree first
[10:18] <zach> I inputed mkdir ~/music
[10:18] <zach> but nothing happened, it just went to the next line
[10:18] <arrenlex> zach: Okay. Now the "music" folder exists in your home directory.
[10:18] <PORDO> arrenlex to compile.
[10:18] <arrenlex> PORDO: install build-essential
[10:18] <PORDO> i haven't programmed in years.
[10:18] <zach> woah...
[10:18] <zach> haha
[10:18] <eXiLiUm> :D:D
[10:19] <PORDO> i already have that.
[10:19] <PORDO> #include <iostream.h> <-- not working.
[10:19] <PORDO> #include<iostream> <-- not working
[10:19] <arrenlex> zach: Okay. Now do this: "sudo -i".
[10:19] <GreenD> How do I mount a digital camera? I just want to get to where I can harvest whatever data it is straight.
[10:19] <eXiLiUm> So, what should I do to make my ubuntu in default settings??
[10:19] <GreenD> Has*
[10:19] <arrenlex> zach: Your prompt should change after you press enter. It should end with a # rather than a $ now. Is this correct?
[10:19] <hyphenated> PORDO: using g++ ?
[10:19] <PORDO> GreenD plug it into the USB and then launch eye-of-gnome or gthumb.
[10:19] <Angelus> how do you find out which version of ubuntu you have?
[10:19] <PORDO> hyphenated ehh..using gcc.
[10:19] <PORDO> oh, i should just run g++.
[10:19] <PORDO> it's been years.
[10:19] <antmazO> sweet i got something out of that thak you , do i run the rest of the stuff after wards
[10:19] <hyphenated> PORDO: it's C++, use g++ ;-)
[10:20] <jack|ass> so what's with this using of UUIDs instead of standard device nodes in edgy?
[10:20] <PORDO> oh, now it works.
[10:20] <PORDO> duh.
[10:20] <Chevronx> Angelus: System, About Ubuntu
[10:20] <eXiLiUm> Ahh.. Hate this thing.. :/
[10:20] <cmweb> IN grub how can i restrict my windows portion with a password or somehting
[10:20] <arrenlex> PORDO: Remember this lesson when you're trying to compile java with gcc. :)
[10:20] <arrenlex> zach: Yo?
[10:20] <GreenD> Err, well its a digital camera - video recorder - mp3 player - voice recorder all in one.
[10:20] <zach> ya, ok, sorry
[10:21] <Angelus> ok I've got 6.06 but people are talking 6.10
[10:21] <zach> I was thinking nothing happened, but you'
[10:21] <zach> '
[10:21] <GreenD> gthumb can't mount it, how could I from a terminal?
[10:21] <PORDO> i'm going to make a program to calculate the voter satisfaction ratios ("social utility efficiencies") of various voting methods, across billions of elections.
[10:21] <zach> 're right
[10:21] <antmazO> automatic installation failed due to network problems or upstream changes ;got that problem , even though the line before said done downloading , i know im  a n00b
[10:21] <arrenlex> zach: Your prompt ends in #?
[10:21] <zach> ya
[10:21] <arrenlex> zach: Good. Hold on.
[10:21] <liquiddoom> antmazO: Not too sure what's going on there.
[10:21] <arrenlex> zach: What's your username on your box?
[10:21] <Steven_M> hi all
[10:22] <hyphenated> GreenD: after plugging it in, run 'dmesg | tail' in a shell, and paste those 10 lines into http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[10:22] <liquiddoom> antmazO: Are your multiverse and backports repositories enabled?
[10:22] <zach> arrenlex, are you just amazing at this, or do you have a manual of some type?
[10:22] <Cyril007> hi
[10:22] <antmazO> should i folow the rest of the intructions on that page i posted before
[10:22] <antmazO> ?
[10:22] <liquiddoom> antmazO: If all else fails, go for https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FlashPlayer9?highlight=%28flash%29
[10:22] <arrenlex> zach: This is a very common operation. xD I'm just guiding you through it very slowly. To a more advanced user, I would communicate all these instructions in a single simple sentence.
[10:22] <Angelus> !version
[10:22] <ubotu> To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type 'lsb_release -a' in the Terminal.
[10:22] <eXiLiUm> Can I change the language of ubuntu without reinstalling??
[10:23] <antmazO> thats the thing i dont know how to do it with ubuntu 6.10 ive used 6.06 like a year ago and haven used ubuntu sense
[10:23] <GreenD> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39434/
[10:23] <zach> thank you, sorry
[10:23] <arrenlex> zach: What's your username on your box? If you don't want to tell me we're going to have to use the <> thing again :)
[10:23] <zach> haha
[10:23] <Angelus> !update
[10:23] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[10:23] <ozzloy> "compiz --replace gconf &" works, but kills the window containers.  how do i fix that?
[10:23] <zach> root@zach-desktop: ~
[10:23] <arrenlex> zach: No, your regular username. zach?
[10:23] <Cyril007> i want to know how have /home/cyril/.GNUstep in my home dir inside of /home/cyril/GNUstep with WindowMaker

[10:24] <imbecile> im in session startup
[10:24] <cmweb> How do i set up a password in a portion in grub
[10:25] <liquiddoom> imbecile: Add a command "gkrellm"
[10:25] <arrenlex> zach: Run the command "exit". Your prompt should change back to $. Now run the command "whoami". Paste the output here.
[10:25] <cmweb> Or how do i password a partion in gaim
[10:25] <imbecile> liquiddoom, thanks man you rock
[10:25] <GreenD> ?
[10:26] <GreenD> PORDO: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39434/
[10:26] <zach> it just says "zach"
[10:26] <arrenlex> zach: Good.
[10:26] <antmazO> 6.10 edgy
[10:26] <imbecile> liquiddoom, also how do i install themes for it? I have downloaded one
[10:26] <arrenlex> zach: Run "sudo -i" again. It should change back to #
[10:26] <liquiddoom> imbecile: Gimme a minute.
[10:26] <hyphenated> GreenD: that's immediately after plugging in your USB camera video sound blah wondertool?
[10:26] <zach> yep
[10:26] <imbecile> liquiddoom, awesome thanks
[10:27] <GreenD> Hehe, yes.
[10:27] <hyphenated> GreenD: is it switched on?
[10:27] <arrenlex> zach: run this command exactly as it appears:
[10:27] <arrenlex> echo "/dev/sdb1       /home/zach/music          ntfs    ro,users,umask=000           0       0" >> /etc/fstab
[10:27] <arrenlex> zach: Wait, hold on.
[10:27] <liquiddoom> Okay, here we go.
[10:27] <GreenD> Got it
[10:27] <GreenD> Thanks!
[10:27] <arrenlex> zach: Actually, this command:
[10:27] <arrenlex> echo "/dev/hdb1       /home/zach/music          ntfs    ro,users,umask=000           0       0" >> /etc/fstab
[10:27] <arrenlex> zach: Hope you didn't run my first one.
[10:28] <zach> I already did the last one
[10:28] <zach> ya
[10:28] <liquiddoom> imbecile: Put the themes in /home/(user)/.gkrellm2/themes
[10:28] <arrenlex> zach: You ran the first command?
[10:28] <zach> ya, I had already by the time you told me the second one
[10:28] <imbecile> liquiddoom, thanks again. You guys are so helpful here
[10:28] <arrenlex> zach: Fine. Run the second one and tell me when you're done.
[10:29] <cmweb> Dang this thing has got to be defragmenting
[10:29] <zach> done
[10:29] <Angelus> If i'm running 6.06 dapper, is that the latest version?
[10:29] <liquiddoom> Angelus: 6.10, Edgy Eft
[10:29] <zach> it looks the same, the 2 commands do
[10:29] <arrenlex> zach: Now run this command:
[10:29] <arrenlex> sed -i "s|/dev/sdb1       /home/zach/music          ntfs    ro,users,umask=000           0       0||g" /etc/fstab
[10:29] <liquiddoom> Er, oops? I don't think that's what you were asking. lol
[10:29] <Angelus> can you upgrade from drapper to edgy?
[10:30] <zach> ok
[10:30] <liquiddoom> Yeah
[10:30] <liquiddoom> But it's sort of risky
[10:30] <arrenlex> zach: Now run "exit". Your prompt should change back to a $.
[10:30] <antmazO> liquiddoom should i just take the easy way out and install the 6.06 version ha and that way i would know what im doing
[10:30] <zach> yep
[10:30] <arrenlex> zach: Run the command "cat /etc/fstab" and pastebin all the output for me please.
[10:30] <Angelus> is there a huge difference?
[10:31] <arrenlex> !edgy | Angelus
[10:31] <ubotu> Angelus: Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) is the latest version of Ubuntu. Upgrading to Edgy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades - Downloading: http://www.ubuntu.com/download - Release Notes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseNotes
[10:31] <liquiddoom> antmazO: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FlashPlayer9?highlight=%28flash%29
[10:31] <liquiddoom> antmazO: Just run all the commands there and Flash should work under firefox
[10:31] <antmazO> sorry man im just and r-tard and forgot how to use linux even though ubuntu is the easeast version of linux
[10:31] <Angelus> thanks all
[10:32] <liquiddoom> antmazO: What are you hung up on?
[10:32] <liquiddoom> antmazO: Running the commands?
[10:32] <imbecile> liquiddoom, do i install the tgz there or extrack it?
[10:32] <liquiddoom> imbecile: extract it.
[10:33] <zach> arrenlex, do I have another step?
[10:33] <antmazO> no no ive done that before im just appoligizeing for being a n00b again
[10:33] <liquiddoom> Then restart gkrellm and the themes should appear under Configuration - Themes
[10:33] <imbecile> liquiddoom, i cant find the gkrellm folder to extract to
[10:33] <liquiddoom> imbecile: It's hidden
[10:33] <arrenlex> zach: Did you pastebin your fstab?
[10:33] <arrenlex> (02:30:38 AM) arrenlex: zach: Run the command "cat /etc/fstab" and pastebin all the output for me please.
[10:33] <antmazO> the commands are like coding ha copy and paste
[10:33] <imbecile> liquiddoom, so how do i find it to extract it to?
[10:34] <Steven_M> is there a console menu-based run level editor for edgy?
[10:34] <liquiddoom> imbecile: Under file browser, go to view - show hidden files
[10:34] <The_Alexander> I heard that theres a new version that works with linux
[10:35] <The_Alexander> and that one can register without a credit card - so I wanted to do it
[10:35] <The_Alexander> but I cant see that option on SL www
[10:35] <The_Alexander> do any of You know how to do it?
[10:35] <xipietotec> the linux client for SL is sucky
[10:35] <xipietotec> but it's alpha stage so that's why
[10:35] <The_Alexander> but it IS, and thats the point :P
[10:35] <arrenlex> zach: Yo?
[10:36] <imbecile> liquiddoom, where is the file browser? sorry man its my second day in linux
[10:36] <zach> sorry arrenlex, it didnt seem to have come thru the first time... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39435/
[10:36] <The_Alexander> do you know how to register to S:?
[10:36] <The_Alexander> SL*
[10:36] <arrenlex> zach: There we go, thanks. :)
[10:36] <liquiddoom> imbecile: Go to Places - Home Folder
[10:36] <antmazO> thanks again liquiddoom
[10:36] <liquiddoom> antmazO: Did it work?
[10:36] <arrenlex> zach: Hmm. Did you mess with this? One line of something I didn't touch is wrong.
[10:37] <antmazO>  liquiddoom  yup
[10:37] <liquiddoom> Great!
[10:37] <zach> nope, I havent done anything
[10:37] <antmazO> it is yay thank you
[10:37] <zach> all I've done is what you have said to do
[10:37] <liquiddoom> antmazO: One thing though, Firefox may crash every now and then on sites like Youtube
[10:37] <borg> so is VLC the ONLY thing that can play Windows Media Files?
[10:38] <arrenlex> borg: mplayer can.
[10:38] <borg> well, it said it doesnt have a codec for "Windows Media Video 9"
[10:38] <liquiddoom> imbecile: Any luck?
[10:38] <antmazO>  liquiddoom  oh well its better than windows crashing every five seconds
[10:38] <zach> arrenlex: what is wrong w/ it
[10:38] <liquiddoom> lol
[10:39] <arrenlex> zach: Run this command:
[10:39] <arrenlex> sudo sed -i "s|/dev/           /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0|/dev/fd0           /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0|g" /etc/fstab
[10:39] <imbecile> liquiddoom, i still dont see the gkrellm folder
[10:39] <zach> ok
[10:39] <arrenlex> zach: Then run the command "cat /etc/fstab" again and pastebin all the output for me please again.
[10:39] <liquiddoom> imbecile: I've got an other idea then.
[10:39] <borg> and my wmv is 1280x768 and i guess is too much for VLC to handle so it doesnt show the video
[10:39] <antmazO> i use to have windows on thsi pc and have ubuntu on the other untill the power supply wnet to 5417 and then i just used this , yea typing isnt right im drunk slightly
[10:40] <arrenlex> borg: You need to install w32codecs for mplayer to play it
[10:40] <imbecile> liquiddoom, i see desktop/examples/vmware
[10:40] <zach> arrenlex: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39436/
[10:40] <liquiddoom> imbecile: That's not it. Did you save the themes to your desktop?
[10:40] <arrenlex> zach: Yay! :)
[10:40] <imbecile> liquiddoom, no i opened with archive manager
[10:40] <arrenlex> zach: Okay, now run the command "sudo mount /dev/hdb1"
[10:41] <liquiddoom> imbecile: Ah.
[10:41] <zach> how long have you been doing this stuff?
[10:41] <arrenlex> zach: It shouldn't print anything. Tell me if it does.
[10:41] <borg> arrenlex, do the ubuntu repositories have w32codecs?
[10:41] <imbecile> liquiddoom, that the problem?
[10:41] <arrenlex> borg: No.
[10:41] <liquiddoom> imbecile: Nope.
[10:41] <arrenlex> !w32codecs | borg

[10:41] <liquiddoom> imbecile: Gimme a minute. I'll try it myself
[10:41] <imbecile> liquiddoom, ok
[10:41] <arrenlex> zach: 3-4 years ish? These are really simple instructions, the commands look complicated because I'm automating everything to avoid you having to edit configuration files yourself. xD
[10:42] <zach> ok, nothing came out
[10:42] <arrenlex> zach: Good. Now run "sudo umount /dev/hdb1".
[10:42] <arrenlex> zach: Now run "mount /dev/hdb1". Make sure it's without sudo this time. Make sure nothing comes out again.
[10:43] <kkrusty> I get this message when i apt-get update: Failed to fetch http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org/dists/edgy/Release  Unable to find expected entry  main-edgy/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
[10:43] <liquiddoom> imbecile: Try clicking on extract - extract in folder "other" - then clicking on your home folder and right clicking anywhere and checking "Show hidden files"
[10:44] <liquiddoom> Then finding .gkrellm2 and putting it in the themes directory inside of it
[10:44] <arrenlex> kkrusty: Pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:44] <zach> ok, done
[10:44] <arrenlex> zach: No output?
[10:44] <zach> no
[10:44] <arrenlex> zach: What's the output of "mount | grep hdb1 | wc -l"? Should be a number.
[10:45] <antmazO> ok liquiddoom sorry to bug you or if anyone else can help , adultse\wim web site is being retarted now i just download the tar.gz fild dpkg or what ever comand it is to installit
[10:45] <imbecile> liquiddoom, YAAAYYY... thanks alot man
[10:45] <antmazO> and i shjould be set
[10:45] <cens0red> I installed another distro on one of my partitions, and I can't seem to boot up with it. It's not in the grub menu. How can I fix that?
[10:45] <zach> "1"
[10:45] <arrenlex> zach: Perfect.
[10:45] <kkrusty> wheres the pastebin?
[10:46] <arrenlex> zach: You should be able to browse that drive's files now. It's in the "music" folder in your home folder.
[10:46] <liquiddoom> antmazO: If you're working with a .tar.gz file, try opening it archive manager and extracting it somewhere
[10:46] <zach> I see that
[10:46] <zach> there is a little lock on the file, what does that mean?
[10:46] <arrenlex> zach: Setting up writing to NTFS is a LOT more difficult than reading. And it's experimental too (might cause filesystem corruption). Do you really need it?
[10:46] <sushi_> what's a good GUI interface to burn DVD Video (with menus) from media files?
[10:46] <arrenlex> zach: Probably that it's read-only. Not familiar with nautilius.
[10:47] <zach> well, eventually I'll need to write to it too, but I guess I can sacrifice that for now
[10:47] <arrenlex> zach: If you need to share files with Windows, I highly advise you to have a fat32 partition, so both can read and write it without problems.
[10:47] <antmazO> ok done now what
[10:47] <antmazO> run the installer
[10:48] <kkrusty> aarre
[10:48] <liquiddoom> antmazO: Yep.
[10:48] <sushi_> i advise you to use ext3/ext2 instead of ntfs
[10:48] <arrenlex> !pastebin | kkrusty
[10:48] <zach> ok, I'll do that eventually then
[10:48] <kkrusty> arrenlex: wheres the pastebin?
[10:48] <ubotu> kkrusty: 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)
[10:48] <sushi_> or fat
[10:48] <antmazO> whats the comman in shell dpgk right
[10:48] <kkrusty> thanks
[10:48] <ThePub> antmazO: dpkg?
[10:48] <arrenlex> zach: You can read the files fine? Make sure before I leave :) I have to go.
[10:48] <cens0red> I installed another distro on one of my partitions, and I can't seem to boot up with it. It's not in the grub menu. How can I fix that?
[10:48] <antmazO> yea just do that and the file name in shell right ?
[10:49] <liquiddoom> antmazO: If it ends in ".deb"
[10:50] <kkrusty> arrenlex: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39437/
[10:50] <drach> cens0red: look for grub config (menu.lst) in the other distro, and copy approprite lines to menu.lst in ubuntu
[10:50] <zach> I can get into them, yes, but my amarok doesnt have mp3 capability until I download that, but thanks SOOO much
[10:50] <zach> now hopefully my sound card will work...
[10:50] <cens0red> drach thanks. Will try!
[10:50] <arrenlex> zach: For your information, all the instructions I gave you, I have given before to more advanced users as "add that drive to the fstab with the umask=000 option". :)
[10:50] <liquiddoom> antmazO: My bad, the correct command is "sudo dpkg -i (filename)
[10:51] <antmazO> damnet in shell how do i change dir , cd/Desktop right?
[10:51] <zach> haha, thanks, still
[10:51] <kkrusty> arrenlex: the relevent repos seem to start on line 41
[10:51] <antmazO> ha
[10:51] <liquiddoom> antmazO: Yep, cd (directory)
[10:51] <sushi_> How do I burn DVD Video?   I have AVI and MPEG files that I'd like to play on my DVD player, and I have a DVD+R drive.   Thanks!
[10:51] <zach> arrenlex, do you have any tip for where I can find a manual for all this?
[10:51] <liquiddoom> There has to be a space though.
[10:51] <arrenlex> zach: You're welcome. Good luck!
[10:52] <antmazO> ah no / or \ der i should of never stop wrking with linux forgeting everything sucks
[10:52] <arrenlex> zach: Not really. You just pick it up as you go along. I would have explained what I was doing, rather than giving you meaningless commands, but I was short on time. Ask here what things do.
[10:52] <rolnxyz> Hello, I have installed both ubuntu and windows in my computer. I am about to format the windows partition and make an ext3 partition. I am gonna do cfdisk and mkreiserfs. Is this going to mess up the computer? Am I on the right track?
[10:52] <zach> ok, thanks, cya
[10:52] <liquiddoom> antmazO: It'd be "cd /home/(user)/Dsktop" universally
[10:52] <rcrook> sigh.. no luck yet on the webcam haning my pc
[10:52] <liquiddoom> antmazO: Er, Desktop
[10:53] <ozzloy> rolnxyz: "mkreiserfs" makes a reiser partition, not an ext3
[10:53] <rolnxyz> mke2fs_
[10:53] <rolnxyz> ?
[10:53] <sushi_> rolnxyz: back up all your private data onto DVDR/CDR.   Then delete the windows partition.    Make an ext3 partition (linux partition)
[10:53] <turtle5001> hi
[10:54] <kkrusty> can anyone help me with this: Failed to fetch http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org/dists/edgy/Release  Unable to find expected entry  main-edgy/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
[10:54] <ozzloy> rolnxyz: yeah, mke2fs
[10:54] <arrenlex> kkrusty: sudo sed -i "s/main-edgy/main/g" /etc/fstab
[10:54] <rolnxyz> whats the deal between ext3 and fat?
[10:54] <ozzloy> rolnxyz: but there's a graphical way to do it
[10:54] <arrenlex> kkrusty: I don't think you quite understand how the sources.list is formatted. You have a lot of wrong lines.
[10:54] <arrenlex> kkrusty: Consider what you were supposed to have:
[10:54] <arrenlex> deb http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org edgy main
[10:54] <ozzloy> rolnxyz: fat is a lot simpler.  ext3 has journaling
[10:54] <arrenlex> kkrusty: And what you had:
[10:54] <arrenlex> deb http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org/ edgy main-edgy
[10:55] <kkrusty> arrenlex: right!
[10:55] <ozzloy> rolnxyz: fat gets fragmented more
[10:55] <rolnxyz> ozzloy, i dont mind working on a terminal
[10:55] <rolnxyz> ok
[10:55] <rolnxyz> thanks for the help
[10:55] <kkrusty> arrenlex: about knowing how the sources.list is formatted. What was i missing?
[10:55] <arrenlex> Well, goodbye all. Must sleep!
[10:55] <ozzloy> rolnxyz: np
[10:55] <hastesaver> Hi, I have a "Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G] /GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device"; should I choose "Intel 845" as my graphics card or use the i810 driver?
[10:56] <arrenlex> kkrusty: Your "main-edgy" should have just been _main".
[10:56] <arrenlex> "main"
[10:57] <antmazO> `ok i know i sound like a tard but it just flashplayer-installer , no file extension , just says shell script
[10:57] <liquiddoom> antmazO: Then run it in a terminal
[10:57] <liquiddoom> antmazO: Like ./flashplayer-installer
[10:57] <trumpetmic> anyone: I'm in a Ubuntu live CD right now.  I tried to use this to mount the drive that my fedora installation is on and edit the /etc/fstab to fix a booting problem, but its saying something about a strange filesystem there and its not mounting.
[10:57] <ozzloy> compiz --replace gconf &  doesn't work right after rebooting
[10:58] <ozzloy> it replaces everything, but there is no window border
[10:58] <hastesaver> antmazO, linux doesn't care about file extensions. (But the GNOME/KDE GUIs might; I don't know...)
[10:58] <ozzloy> nothing to click on to move windows around, maximize, minimize, close
[10:58] <ozzloy> no title bar
[10:58] <antmazO> tried running i am control returned error exit status 2
[10:58] <ozzloy> how do i fix that?
[10:59] <ozzloy> it worked beautifully, wobbly windows and everything.  alt-tab still shows live thumbnails
[10:59] <ozzloy> and transparency works too
[10:59] <ozzloy> but i can't move the windows around, no title bar to grab
[11:00] <antmazO> ozzloy ive seen that on my cousins gentoo box , its 53xy
[11:00] <antmazO> ctrl alt and move the mouse
[11:01] <drach> ozzloy: i am not sure, but try search apt-cache search beryl, and look for package with decoration in name, and install it
[11:01] <ozzloy> drach: i'm using compiz
[11:01] <drach> ozzloy: ooops
[11:01] <ozzloy> and aiglx
[11:01] <ozzloy> but hey, maybe!
[11:02] <oga> hey all i'm wondering if anyboyd could help me write a script or point me in the right direction. I have a peak / offpeak service provider and 99% of my p2p is organised to go through a specific section of ports. I want to block access to these ports during "pm" but allow acces during "am" any ideas?
[11:02] <elkbuntu> oga, come into #ubuntu-au and try asking, someone might know
[11:03] <SurfnKid> can you send an idle and standby command to a USB HDD device?
[11:03] <trumpetmic> any ideas on this?
[11:03] <fowlduck> in what file is the TERM environment variable set?
[11:03] <Enselic``> Isn't it possible to expand a bash command using !? I would like to do something like !ma<TAB> -> make install
[11:03] <Enselic``> i.e. not executing it, just expand it
[11:03] <trumpetmic> I put a stupid line in my /etc/fstab and now my Fedora Core wont boot.  I just need to edit the fstab entry and save it but I can't get the drive mounted.
[11:04] <hastesaver> Enselic``, you could use Ctrl-r, which gives reverse-isearch
[11:05] <ozzloy> trumpetmic: boot off live cd?  find out why it doesn't mount
[11:05] <hastesaver> Enselic``, hit C-r and type "ma" (or even "nst", or whatever is unique enough)
[11:05] <fowlduck> in what file is the TERM environment variable set?
[11:05] <Enselic``> hastesaver: Whoa! Was that awesome or awesome? Thanks =D
[11:05] <trumpetmic> ozzloy:  I'm not sure what you mean?  find out why it doesn't mount... that's exactly what I'm trying to do!  :)
[11:06] <ozzloy> trumpetmic: what does it say when you run mount?
[11:06] <hastesaver> fowlduck, I don't think it's set anywhere... it's passed to the scripts based on how they are running
[11:06] <trumpetmic> just two lines...
[11:06] <trumpetmic> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/temp/
[11:06] <trumpetmic> mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member'
[11:06] <ozzloy> trumpetmic: you can specify the type by hand using -t
[11:06] <fowlduck> hastesaver: well, vim isn't doing highlighting because of the value of term
[11:07] <trumpetmic> interesting...
[11:07] <hastesaver> fowlduck, are you sure? Did you try ":syntax on" ?
[11:07] <fowlduck> not really
[11:07] <ozzloy> trumpetmic: also, if this is fedora, maybe use a fedora livecd?
[11:07] <hastesaver> fowlduck, otherwise you could manually set it before calling vim
[11:07] <trumpetmic> ozzloy: which filesystem would I need to use there?
[11:07] <fowlduck> wow, syntax on is not available in this version
[11:07] <fowlduck> heh
[11:08] <hastesaver> Enselic``, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToReadline for more (but there's not much more ;-))
[11:09] <ozzloy> trumpetmic: sounds like it thinks it's an LVM partition.  you can use fdisk -l /dev/hda
[11:09] <ozzloy> to find out the type
[11:09] <imbecile> im trying to setup thunderbird is gmail pop or imap?
[11:09] <ozzloy> trumpetmic: i think
[11:09] <nolimitsoya> a dumb question: would mounting a fs with parm 'sync' make all writing to be done instantainously?
[11:09] <ozzloy> imbecile: pop
[11:09] <ozzloy> imbecile:
[11:09] <ozzloy> woops
[11:10] <trumpetmic> ok... trying...
[11:10] <imbecile> ozzloy, what do i use for incoming/outgoing server?
[11:10] <ozzloy> imbecile: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?ctx=%67mail&hl=en&answer=12103
[11:10] <nolimitsoya> imbecile if you log on to gmail, go to the settings manager and click 'pop and forwarding' you can get help configuring you client
[11:10] <ozzloy> instructions for tb are at the bottom of "mail clients"
[11:10] <imbecile> ozzloy, thanks
[11:10] <nolimitsoya> imbecile, you need specifik port, fex
[11:11] <trumpetmic> ozzloy, yeah it says this is an lvm
[11:11] <anks> how do I enable mesh network in edgy
[11:11] <trumpetmic> how do we mount an lvm?
[11:11] <ozzloy> trumpetmic: i don't know, don't deal with lvm.  but 'man mount' will have more information
[11:11] <ozzloy> trumpetmic: i really think using a fedora livecd is your best bet
[11:12] <trumpetmic> maybe I'll try that then
[11:12] <trumpetmic> thanks ozzloy
[11:12] <ozzloy> trumpetmic: np
[11:13] <ozzloy> anyone know how to make the window decorations work with compiz?
[11:13] <ozzloy> i followed the instructions here, and it worked until i rebooted.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager
[11:14] <Enselic``> ozzloy: use ps -A and make sure you have wm running, and that you dont have two instances of it
[11:14] <anks> how do I enable mesh network in edgy
[11:14] <Enselic``> ozzloy: I've experienced some problems with duplicate processe (with beryl)
[11:15] <sushi_> how do I burn my AVI / MPEG video to DVD, so that I can watch them in my home DVD player?
[11:15] <ozzloy> Enselic``: i have gdm in there twice
[11:15] <nolimitsoya> sushi_, devede
[11:15] <ozzloy> compiz is not in there
[11:15] <ken> Is anyone here familiar with gnome-art?
[11:15] <sushi_> nolimitsoya: thanks i'll check it out.   anything else?
[11:15] <nolimitsoya> ok, quickie: could someone explain the 'sync' option for mounting?
[11:16] <nolimitsoya> sushi_, nope :)
[11:16] <sushi_> nolimiysoya <3
[11:16] <ozzloy> Enselic``: what should i be looking for?  compiz isn't in there
[11:16] <ozzloy> Enselic``: metacity is in there once
[11:17] <nolimitsoya> ozzloy, have you read the install routine on the beryl site?
[11:17] <Enselic``> ozzloy: try to start 'compiz', it should kill metacity automagically
[11:17] <gOldZahN> what are crappy arts driver for?
[11:17] <ozzloy> specifically, this happens when i run "compiz --replace gconf &" like it says on the page
[11:17] <ken> GNOME-ART anyone?
[11:17] <nolimitsoya> gOldZahN, same as good ones ;)
[11:17] <ken> no-one? :(
[11:18] <Enselic``> ozzloy: ah ok, then perhaps you need to expclicitly tell it to --replace      try it without gconf
[11:18] <ozzloy> Enselic``: if i try just "compiz" it tells me i should try the "--replace"
[11:18] <ken> ok
[11:18] <ken> :(
[11:18] <ozzloy> Enselic``: hehe, just getting there.  it does the same thing as --replace gconf
[11:18] <ozzloy> Enselic``: or it did last time i tried it
[11:18] <Enselic``> ozzloy: are you using AIGlX?
[11:19] <ozzloy> Enselic``: indeed
[11:19] <gOldZahN> nolimitsoya, some1 told me to delete them for getting wine started
[11:19] <ozzloy> intel 945gm
[11:19] <Enselic``> ozzloy: then I recomend to use beryl instead, it works fine for me
[11:19] <linux_user400354> how can i convert mp3s to ogg?
[11:19] <rizo_> Hi
[11:19] <rizo_> I need some help with grub
[11:20] <Enselic``> linux_user400354: dont know the software name by hand, but if you google for mp3 ogg conversion / encoding you should find it
[11:20] <nolimitsoya> !grub | rizo_
[11:20] <ubotu> rizo_: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto

[11:21] <drach> ozzloy: and aftrer compiz --replace, did you run gnome-window-decorator ?
[11:21] <sushi_> nolimitsoya: hey this DeVeDe program feels great!
[11:21] <rizo_> I accidently installed grubbed on hd0,0 using setup (hd0,0). This is my ntfs windows partition, now i can't boot ntfs, it seems there is a bad sector
[11:21] <nolimitsoya> sushi_, good :)
[11:22] <ozzloy> drach: yeah
[11:22] <sushi_> nolimitsoya : how come it took so long to get a quality response like yours
[11:22] <nolimitsoya> sushi_, its always nice when one can be of any help :)
[11:22] <ozzloy> drach: to no avail ):
[11:22] <Enselic``> linux_user400354: search for ogg in synaptic, there must be a converter there
[11:22] <enyc> NICKA:
[11:22] <rizo_> how i can fix bad ntfs sectors from linux
[11:23] <rizo_> because ubuntu is bootig fine
[11:23] <linux_user400354> rizo_: apt-cache search ntfs
[11:23] <enyc> rizo_: erm... you may be able to fix that with "fixboot" on the windoze 2000/xp "recovery console"
[11:23] <enyc> rizo_: i am not sure if there are ntfs tools for linux etc. to do this
[11:23] <ken> linux_user400354: Install the package called soundconverter, to convert your full collection of .mp3 to .ogg
[11:23] <rizo_> yes but my ntfs partition is messed up
[11:23] <sjogren> linux_user400354: u want to play ogg in xmms? in that case, just typ xmms and a plugin fr .ogg files will show in the list =)
[11:23] <DarkLinux> cool
[11:23] <rizo_> gives badsector error
[11:23] <ken> linux_user400354: Or install audacity, and then import a .mp3 into it, and save it as .ogg
[11:23] <rizo_> chkdsk won't fix it
[11:24] <enyc> rizo_: yes... you boot win2000/xp cd and enter recovery_console... ?
[11:24] <ken> rizo_: fixmbr
[11:24] <linux_user400354> ken: audacity only does a single mp3 at a time i think
[11:24] <enyc> ken: he is talking about the ntfs partition, not mbr sector
[11:24] <rizo_> i have tried fixmbr
[11:24] <rizo_> no luck
[11:24] <Rookie_> dont let linux fix ntfs, will only mess it up for you - use ms prog for to fix ms fs
[11:24] <ken> linux_user400354: You are right, so if you want to batch convert your whole collection install "soundconverter", it shall do it
[11:24] <enyc> rizo_: can you mount the partition in the recovery_console on win32/64 boot-cd disk?
[11:25] <nolimitsoya> am i correct in assuming the 'sync' option for mounting means all data will be flushed to disk the very moment i hit the save button?
[11:25] <enyc> rizo_: i.e. in the recovery_console can you access c: d: etc. ?
[11:25] <rizo_> no i can't
[11:25] <rizo_> no
[11:25] <ken> rizo_: thats strange
[11:25] <rizo_> i can't even access it in ubuntu
[11:25] <enyc> rizo_: i see i see
[11:26] <rizo_> however i know the files are still there
[11:26] <ken> rizo_: You are having Windows CD, and when you go to automated system recovery, what hapens?
[11:26] <rizo_> it doesn't work so i use recovery console
[11:26] <enyc> rizo_: hrrm well rebuild the filesystem and restore backup of files, or use specialist ntfsrecover tools ?
[11:26] <nolimitsoya> rizo_, did you attempt a resize?
[11:27] <rizo_> no
[11:27] <ken> rizo_: what caused this calamity?
[11:27] <rizo_> installing grub on the partition
[11:27] <nolimitsoya> thats odd, to say the least
[11:27] <nolimitsoya> grub should touch the mbr and nothing else
[11:28] <rizo_> would resizing it cause errors because of the bad sectors?
[11:28] <Hezkore> Hey i've got a question
[11:28] <Hezkore> If i install Ubuntu on a HD that already has Windows
[11:28] <Hezkore> What will happen?
[11:28] <liquiddoom> Hezkore: You have to give Ubuntu its own partitions.
[11:28] <ken> Hezkore: both shall live happily ever after, if you choose the options in the install wizard judiciously
[11:28] <ken> :)
[11:28] <rizo_> yes grub should only touch the MBR but i defind the wrong partition
[11:28] <nolimitsoya> rizo_, resizing has been known to mess up ntfs partitions. actualy, it seems to do it almost every time with dapper and edgy...
[11:28] <Hezkore> Yeah..
[11:29] <ken> nolimitsoya: not for me
[11:29] <Hezkore> Well what happens when i boot up the computer?
[11:29] <nolimitsoya> ken, hence the almost :)
[11:29] <Hezkore> What will start, windows or ubuntu?
[11:29] <rizo_> but i haven't resized the partition
[11:29] <ken> nolimitsoya: :)
[11:29] <liquiddoom> Hezkore: It asks you
[11:29] <nolimitsoya> Hezkore, youll be given a choice
[11:29] <ken> Hezkore: You get a selection screen asking you to choose a OS
[11:29] <Hezkore> Ok ok
[11:29] <Hezkore> Just wondering
[11:29] <Hezkore> Oh and another thing
[11:29] <Hezkore> When i run Ubuntu via the CD, my internet is uber slow...
[11:29] <ozzloy> Hezkore: it will boot ubuntu if you don't make a choice in 5ish seconds
[11:30] <ken> ozzloy: the default is 10
[11:30] <Hezkore> Yeah ok, same as when you have two windows
[11:30] <nolimitsoya> Hezkore, everything is slow with the live cd :)
[11:30] <Hezkore> Ok great great
[11:30] <ken> Hezkore: LIveCD has got no relations with internet speed
[11:30] <ken> nolimitsoya: ?
[11:30] <rizo_> is there anyway i can recover the data
[11:30] <Hezkore> Buh?
[11:30] <rizo_> so that i can mount on a new partition
[11:30] <rizo_> like a ghost image
[11:30] <ken> Hezkore: ya
[11:30] <Hezkore> So my internet will be uber slow even if i install Ubuntu properly?
[11:31] <nolimitsoya> ken, everything is slow when reading a compressed cd with no cache :)
[11:31] <nolimitsoya> Hezkore, no, it should be perfectly normal
[11:31] <Hezkore> Ok
[11:31] <Hezkore> Well only one way to find out..
[11:31] <ken> nolimitsoya: what do you need to uncompress to run a Internet connection
[11:31] <rizo_> would it be possible to create an ntfs backup image even though there are badsectors on disk
[11:32] <KaLimeRo-> Which program i can use For windows programs ?
[11:32] <KaLimeRo-> Which program i can use For windows programs on linux?
[11:32] <liquiddoom> wine
[11:32] <ken> KaLimeRo-: Windows XP :)
[11:32] <nolimitsoya> ken, nothing. ) you do, however, need to decompress thew webbrowser, and caching is restrictive, to say the least
[11:32] <POVaddct> ken: ...in qemu :)
[11:32] <nolimitsoya> *:)
[11:32] <ken> nolimitsoya: Hmm...
[11:32] <ken> POVaddct: :)
[11:33] <KaLimeRo-> liquiddoom i heared about wine but some friend tell me its not good ... so u know abour somthing else?
[11:33] <nolimitsoya> rizo_, if these bad sectors are recent you might be looking at a failing drive and not a failing filesystem. check the drives s.m.a.r.t data to begin with
[11:33] <ken> POVaddct: nolimitsoya: Do you have any experience with gnome-art?
[11:33] <liquiddoom> KaLimeRo-: It's good with some stuff, terrible with others
[11:33] <nolimitsoya> ken, nope :)
[11:33] <Rookie_> rizo_ - if the system cant read the harddrive or a part of the partition it wont be possible to mount the partition, you need windows own tool to fix that problem and if you cant get that you have lost that data on that partition
[11:33] <POVaddct> ken: nope, i dont use gnome
[11:33] <liquiddoom> KaLimeRo-:  There's Cedega (for games) and vmware (Full Windows emulator)
[11:34] <POVaddct> liquiddoom: vmware is not a windows emulator. it is a virtual machine.
[11:34] <liquiddoom> Oops.
[11:34] <ken> KaLimeRo-: If you want Windows programs please use windows, and once fine day when you are ready to leave them walk over to linux
[11:34] <Hezkore> Erm one more thing..
[11:34] <Hezkore> When i install
[11:34] <POVaddct> liquiddoom: you can install any x86-based OS in vmware, not only windows
[11:34] <nolimitsoya> rizo_, http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk <- this can sometimes help recover lost partitions and data, but as i said, make sure you are not working with a failing drive

[11:35] <liquiddoom> POVaddct: Ah, my bad.
[11:35] <ken> POVaddct: your name is inspired from...?
[11:35] <ken> :)
[11:35] <nolimitsoya> rizo_, if it turns out you have a hdd failure on your hands, make sure to operate it as little as possible, and dump _all_ data - as it - to another drive before trying to recover anything
[11:35] <POVaddct> ken: POV-Ray
[11:35] <KaLimeRo-> ken yea i know that ... but im new in Linux ... so u know for the start
[11:35] <derrik> you are all bastards
[11:35] <Hezkore> The drag bar when i install... is that for much i want Ubuntu to use or do i shrink my existing partition to that size? :S
[11:35] <ken> derrik: All offence taken
[11:35] <KaLimeRo-> from where i can get the virtual machines
[11:35] <KaLimeRo-> ?
[11:36] <ken> POVaddct: You do designing on linux?
[11:36] <derrik> ALL OFYOU
[11:36] <kane77> what is the syntax for crontab... if I want program executed every 15 minutes is * /15 * * * * /usr/bin/command correct?

[11:37] <rob> heh thats wrong.
[11:37] <POVaddct> KaLimeRo-: read to link ubotu posted
[11:37] <derrik> hey sorry
[11:37] <ken> elkbuntu: derrik is really offensive
[11:37] <derrik> that was my roommate
[11:38] <Rookie_> VMware, Cedega and crossover - buy it
[11:38] <elkbuntu> ken, i see now, but i had to scroll up and read a few mins of logs to see that
[11:38] <KaLimeRo-> k 10x (:
[11:38] <nolimitsoya> POVaddct, KaLimeRo-, vmware-player is a waste of time, now that vmware server is free for linux :)
[11:38] <Hezkore> Anyone know?
[11:38] <POVaddct> ken: sorry, i only know povray. and i dont use graphical modellers, only the scene description language
[11:38] <elkbuntu> ken, doing "!ops | person is doing action" is more helpful :)

[11:38] <Dicander> shakes
[11:38] <DBO> derrik, keep in mind you will be held responsible for anything your "roommate" says
[11:38] <POVaddct> nolimitsoya: then someone should update ubotu's factoid
[11:38] <nolimitsoya> POVaddct, good idea :)
[11:39] <nolimitsoya> POVaddct, will you take carte of it? ;)
[11:39] <nolimitsoya> *-t
[11:39] <ken> elkbuntu: I didn't know that existed, i shall take care from now on :)
[11:39] <ozzloy> Enselic``: beryl is working right now
[11:39] <POVaddct> nolimitsoya: i dont know how
[11:39] <nolimitsoya> POVaddct, me neither :)
[11:39] <derrik> sorry, from now on i'll sign out before i have people over
[11:39] <derrik> what did he say?
[11:39] <KaLimeRo-> from where i can get the virtual machines?
[11:39] <Enselic``> ozzloy: nice :)
[11:39] <ozzloy> Enselic``: hope it stays this way when i reboot :\
[11:39] <POVaddct> nolimitsoya: and i dont use vmware, only qemu

[11:39] <ozzloy> POVaddct: might wanna try kvm in the latest kernel
[11:39] <elkbuntu> derrik, he said stuff that is not repeatable
[11:39] <Enselic``> ozzloy: let me know if it doesnt
[11:40] <ozzloy> here goes!
[11:40] <nolimitsoya> KaLimeRo-, you get vmware server from the vmware website, and create your own machines
[11:40] <Hezkore> When i install Ubuntu and select to resize my HD i get to drag a bar around showing % of my HD, is that how much i want Ubuntu to use?
[11:40] <Hezkore> Or is it how much i should resize my current partition down to?
[11:40] <POVaddct> ozzloy: a friend of mine tried, many things aren't working yet
[11:40] <KaLimeRo-> its sounds diffical
[11:41] <POVaddct> KaLimeRo-: ohne arme keine kekse :)
[11:41] <ken> Hezkore: If you are resizing your partition, than the size you enter is the size you want your current partition (windows) to occupy, that means that Ubuntu shall use Total HDD space (minus) the space you resized your current partition to
[11:41] <nolimitsoya> Hezkore, id guess its what you would be resizing to, but be aware that resizing is very dangerous and has a number of very dangerous bugs filed against it. have a backup
[11:41] <KaLimeRo-> english
[11:41] <sushi_> hey nolimitsoya I used DeVeDe and told it to make a BIN/CUE ISO file ready to burn to disc.... it made a .mpeg file
[11:42] <nolimitsoya> sushi_, thats not right :) try again...
[11:42] <sushi_> yeah i am =] 
[11:42] <Hezkore> Uh oh..
[11:43] <nitin> msn
[11:43] <derrik> sorry again for whatever happened
[11:43] <kane77> derri, np
[11:43] <StingRay>  Hi. Can somebody tell how can I disable graphical logins to gnome at all? I don't want to remove gnome.
[11:44] <StingRay>  I removed /etc/init.d/gdm and /usr/sbin/gdm, but I am still able to login.
[11:44] <ozzloy> Enselic``: it works still!
[11:44] <ozzloy> yay!
[11:44] <Enselic``> ozzloy: have fun :)
[11:44] <POVaddct> StingRay: apt-get remove gdm
[11:45] <StingRay> POVaddct, but this will remove gnome at all, right?
[11:45] <nolimitsoya> sushi_, i tried it just now uinder edgy, and it creates an iso just fine :)
[11:45] <sushi_> yeah i am =] (
[11:45] <StingRay> I want to keep, just make it unable to load.
[11:45] <sushi_> ups
[11:45] <sushi_> =(
[11:45] <POVaddct> StingRay: no, just gdm, the display manager
[11:45] <StingRay> If I want to enable it i just have to apt-get install gdm?
[11:45] <ozzloy> Enselic``: this looks like something from a movie
[11:46] <Enselic``> ozzloy: hehe yep =D
[11:46] <ozzloy> Enselic``: i think they have fun with the settings
[11:46] <POVaddct> StingRay: it will also remove the ubuntu-desktop metapackage
[11:46] <POVaddct> StingRay: but ubuntu-desktop is just an empty package with nothing but dependencies
[11:47] <POVaddct> StingRay: yes, apt-get install gdm will get you the graphic login back
[11:47] <StingRay> POVaddct, is gdm a lot of packages or just one. I want to download just in case.
[11:48] <POVaddct> StingRay: one
[11:48] <POVaddct> !info gdm
[11:48] <ubotu> gdm: GNOME Display Manager. In component main, is optional. Version 2.16.1-0ubuntu4.1 (edgy), package size 1687 kB, installed size 12300 kB
[11:48] <slacker_nl> StingRay: in /etc/X11 there is a file called default-login-manager or something similar
[11:49] <StingRay> superb, Thank you POVaddct. I will be much obliged to you if you can tell me if I can remove the failsafe option also?
[11:49] <StingRay> I know it
[11:49] <slacker_nl> k
[11:49] <borg> out of Xine, VLC, Totem, and Mplayer, i've found that Mplayer was the ONLY one capable of handling a 1280x768 WMV file
[11:49] <POVaddct> StingRay: you mean the failsafe entry in grub?
[11:49] <StingRay> It made it be kdm. So I guess my previous quieston goes to KDE forum
[11:49] <StingRay> nope in the KDE login manager
[11:50] <christiane> Hello. I'm looking for a really small iso file for a minimal 2.6 linux (only a shell, mount for ext3 and cp needed). Can anyone reccommend one (not DSL which is 2.4 and throws DMA errors when copying the data)?
[11:50] <[SPFC] mm> please, someone knows if NDISWRAPPER works in the AMD64 version
[11:50] <POVaddct> StingRay: i dont know. i use neither gdm nor kdm (and no gnome, no kde)
[11:50] <StingRay> btw I asked there but noone could tell me. Accroding to redhad these optionsh should be in kdmrc, but they are not. POVaddct
[11:50] <liquiddoom> [SPFC] mm: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NdiswrapperOnAMD64?highlight=%28ndiswrapper%29
[11:51] <POVaddct> StingRay: i prefer text login and then startx. my desktop is xfce.
[11:51] <StingRay> POVaddct. This box is used by non-professionals. They understand only GUI logins
[11:52] <POVaddct> StingRay: then why do you want to disable gdm?
[11:52] <StingRay> Because I can cut almost entirely KDM. I have crucial info which should not be touched.
[11:53] <qos> hey guys ...
[11:53] <harrisony1> qos, hey
[11:53] <StingRay> KDE is giving me the option to edin my right button, unlike gnome, POVaddct.
[11:53] <POVaddct> StingRay: okay. sorry, cannot help you with kdm. however there should be a kdmrc somewhere in /etc/kde/...
[11:53] <StingRay> Also kiosktool is very flexible
[11:54] <[SPFC] mm> liquiddoom: thx man, listen see if my problem can fix with this, im using the MAD64 version and install the last ndiswrapper, i install the driver that i downloaded in the ndiswrapper list
[11:54] <StingRay> As I said, POVaddct in ubuntu the things are quite different. There is not line in kdmrc SessionTypes...
[11:54] <jonah1980> hi guys i've installed enlightenment which is awesome but my sound mixer doesn't work and also the engage dock - can anyone help me out?
[11:54] <StingRay> very sad...but True, POVaddct
[11:54] <qos> my ubuntu doesn't boot anymore.  when i start it in safety mode it hangs after the following message: "error while loading shared libraries: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: cannot read file data: Error 21"
[11:54] <liquiddoom> [SPFC] mm: I looked at that article and it seems pretty inconclusive. Are you running Edgy?
[11:55] <[SPFC] mm> liquiddoom: i installed and when i see the list, shows that is intalled and present
[11:55] <[SPFC] mm> liquiddoom: edgy is the 6.10 ? yes i am
[11:55] <liquiddoom> [SPFC] mm: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper/edgy?highlight=%28ndiswrapper%29
[11:55] <liquiddoom> See if that helps any.
[11:56] <[SPFC] mm> liquiddoom: ok thx, because i install the driver say thats is OK and hardware present, but dont apper in the Networking, and iwconfig dont show wlan0 =/
[11:56] <[SPFC] mm> liquiddoom: i'll read brb
[11:57] <POVaddct> christiane: i have a 34mb iso with kernel 2.6.12.5
[11:57] <qos> my ubuntu doesn't boot anymore.  when i start it in safety mode it hangs after the following message: "error while loading shared libraries: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: cannot read file data: Error 21"
[11:57] <POVaddct> christiane: small enough?
[11:57] <nolimitsoya> qos, repair it
[11:57] <liquiddoom> [SPFC] mm: I have never used ndiswrapper, but on one of my Edgy machines, it identifies the wireless card as eth0
[11:57] <StingRay> POVaddct, my apt is telling me it has to remove 2 packages?
[11:58] <POVaddct> StingRay: gdm and ubuntu-desktop i guess
[11:58] <[SPFC] mm> liquiddoom: here when i put IWCONFIG, apper ath0 and other 2 names but says no device, something like that
[11:58] <StingRay> OK, POVaddct
[11:59] <liquiddoom> [SPFC] mm: Odd. If all else fails, try installing Edgy x86
[11:59] <ar2k7> hey whats the easiest way to set up xgl, beryl and cube kind of thing? any good guides out there
[11:59] <POVaddct> christiane: hello? got my reply about the iso?
[11:59] <qos> nolimitsoya: how? simply copy another version of the file?
[11:59] <christiane> POVaddct: Yes, sounds fine. Where?
[11:59] <POVaddct> christiane: one moment
[11:59] <nolimitsoya> qos, run the alternate cd with the repair optiuon
[11:59] <nolimitsoya> *option
[12:00] <[SPFC] mm> liquiddoom: I'll try the first tutorial that u give to me, cuz the second one if for ndiswrapper 1.8, im using the lasted version 2.9 i think
[12:00] <flossgeek> ar2k7:  first wht graphics chpset do u have
[12:00] <qos> nolimitsoya: currently i am running ubuntu 6.10 live dvd... but i didn't see an option to repair. where is it exacly?
[12:01] <liquiddoom> [SPFC] mm: Good luck with it. As I don't use ndiswrapper myself, I can't be of too much help.
[12:01] <christiane> POVaddct: I just found the Debian businesscard netinstall image which is 40 MB and will try that. Thank you.
[12:01] <nolimitsoya> qos, i said it was on the alternate, didnt i?
[12:01] <nolimitsoya> !alternate | qos
[12:01] <ubotu> qos: 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.
[12:01] <liquiddoom> [SPFC] mm: All I can do is throw links at you :P
[12:02] <[SPFC] mm> liquiddoom: np, u helped a lot thx
[12:02] <POVaddct> christiane: i pasted the url in a query
[12:02] <qos> nolimitsoya: thx, thought we are talking about the same cds ...
[12:03] <aimtrainer_> hi! I have an Intel core duo t2300 - is that amd64 or i386?
[12:03] <Hezkore> The Ubuntu installer doesn't work! :/
[12:03] <liquiddoom> aimtrainer_: I believe it is AMD64
[12:03] <POVaddct> christiane: i dont know if the debian net install has a real shell and commands or just busybox (which cannot handle files >2B)
[12:03] <POVaddct> christiane: *2GB
[12:03] <Hezkore> I select resize my current partition and install Ubuntu on the remaining space but nothing happens
[12:04] <Hezkore> I've tried it several times now
[12:04] <aimtrainer_> liquiddoom: you believe? - any idea where I could look it up - I just googled but didnt really find anything
[12:04] <liquiddoom> aimtrainer_: According to Wikipedia, it's x86
[12:05] <liquiddoom> aimtrainer_: Makes sense, as the intel macs are x86 and run core duos...
[12:05] <Hezkore> Anyone know what i'm doing wrong?
[12:06] <aimtrainer_> liquiddoom: thanks!
[12:06] <liquiddoom> aimtrainer_: Sorry about originally thinking AMD64, I got confused
[12:06] <StingRay> POVaddct, I am going to delete gnome manually. I made apt-get remove gdm, but I can login to ubuntu without any problem?
[12:07] <aimtrainer_> liquiddoom: no need to apologize - im happy you helped me :)
[12:07] <Tagalon1> Hello.  Can anyone help me with installingubuntu?  The CD loads, but the video is running at a higher sinc rate that the monitor can handle.
[12:07] <Alakazamz0r> StingRay, what are you trying to accomplish?
[12:07] <StingRay> remove gnome logins, without entirely removeing ubuntu-desktop.
[12:07] <liquiddoom> aimtrainer_: I'm not too sure what EXACT kernel to use, though... just use the "generic" one Ubuntu uses by default and you'll b efine
[12:07] <Alakazamz0r> gnome logins?
[12:08] <Alakazamz0r> you mean the gnome display manager?
[12:08] <StingRay> yup
[12:08] <POVaddct> StingRay: you said you wanted kdm, so apt-get install kdm. or do you want to use kde instead of gnome?
[12:08] <StingRay> yes
[12:08] <POVaddct> StingRay: yes to what?
[12:08] <Alakazamz0r> StingRay, may i ask why you would want to do this?
[12:08] <StingRay> I want to use kdm.
[12:08] <POVaddct> StingRay: but you still want gnome as desktop, dont you?
[12:08] <master_> test
[12:08] <Alakazamz0r> so why not just install kdm and set it as your default display manager?
[12:08] <POVaddct> master_: ...failed
[12:09] <StingRay> Alakazamz0r, because pessulus is still not allowing me to edit my right mouse key
[12:09] <Alakazamz0r> master_ you're working
[12:09] <Alakazamz0r> pessulus?
[12:09] <christiane> POVaddct: Thank you. Just downloading the iso (from your Server that's, I think, 500 m away from me ;-))))
[12:09] <StingRay> POVaddct, nope
[12:09] <aimtrainer_> liquiddoom: yea I already had that kernel problem and I ended up fiding pout that my hardware is supposed to be run with the generic kernel
[12:09] <AdrianoMeis> is there a way to mask own IP on this irc network?
[12:09] <POVaddct> christiane: really? :)
[12:09] <christiane> POVaddct: Reichenbachstrae
[12:09] <liquiddoom> aimtrainer_: Ah. Well, good luck!
[12:09] <POVaddct> christiane: LOL
[12:09] <aimtrainer_> thanks
[12:09] <StingRay> Alakazamz0r. I want to disable gnome, not uninstall it if possible.
[12:10] <POVaddct> christiane: i am not i dresden right now, but i will go there today
[12:10] <nolimitsoya> StingRay, sudo apt-get install kde-core, and set kde as your session on login
[12:10] <savvas> when 's fawn expected to be released?
[12:10] <nolimitsoya> StingRay, sudo apt-get install kde, if you want the full suite
[12:10] <StingRay> nolimitsoya. I have kubuntu-desktop up and running. I want to disable gnome logins
[12:11] <nolimitsoya> savvas, 7.04 ;)
[12:11] <Hezkore> Argh, well Ubuntu doesn't work! :/
[12:11] <StingRay> this is all I want.
[12:11] <nolimitsoya> StingRay, then set kde as your default session
[12:11] <Hezkore> Any other good Linux versions out there?
[12:11] <savvas> nolimitsoya: whatever, when's the next release expected? as in date or month :p
[12:11] <christiane> POVaddct: I just ran the debian netinstall in qemu and it looks like busybox. I didn't know it had a 2GB file size limit :-(
[12:11] <nolimitsoya> savvas, that is a date ;)
[12:11] <Kesman> Hezkore: what's wrong with ubuntu?
[12:11] <Tagalon1> Help?
[12:11] <StingRay> nolimitsoya, but I don't want the user to be able to choose a gnome sesstion at all
[12:11] <Hezkore> Installer is messed up and i can't resize my current partition
[12:11] <savvas> nolimitsoya: lol, ok, sorry and thanks :P
[12:11] <nolimitsoya> savvas, 7 (2007) .04 (month 4)
[12:12] <nolimitsoya> StingRay, then uninstall gnome
[12:12] <nolimitsoya> StingRay, or disable the sesschooser
[12:12] <Theodor> Where can I find an articale explaining each directory? I want to understand the heirarchy of the directories in Ubuntu
[12:12] <nolimitsoya> sessions*
[12:12] <StingRay> how to disable session chooser?
[12:12] <Kesman> StingRay: edit /usr/share/xsessions/ directory, it contains all the login options
[12:12] <nolimitsoya> StingRay, system->login window
[12:12] <StingRay> Kesman there are only two options and none of them is helping me
[12:13] <POVaddct> christiane: then try my iso. it is a remastered dsl (i left out X, therefore calling it very damn small linux :)), changed the kernel to 2.6.12.5, and added some nice tools and drivers
[12:13] <Kesman> StingRay: there should be all the desktop entries that are in the session chooser list :o
[12:13] <Theodor> Where can I find an articale explaining each directory? I want to understand the heirarchy of the directories in Ubuntu
[12:14] <StingRay> Kesman, only kde and gnome. If I remove the gnome.desktop nothing will change.
[12:14] <StingRay> Kesman, tested it :(
[12:14] <Alakazamz0r> StingRay, sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[12:14] <Alakazamz0r> it'll allow you to choose kdm.
[12:15] <Tagalon1> I am having a Ubuntu-Desktop challenge.
[12:15] <flossgeek> Theodor: http://doc.vic.computerbank.org.au/tutorials/linuxdirectorystructure/
[12:15] <Kesman> Theodor:
[12:15] <Kesman> no wait :D
[12:15] <Kesman> Theodor: http://www.comptechdoc.org/os/linux/usersguide/linux_ugfilestruct.html
[12:15] <Kesman> there
[12:15] <Theodor> flossgeek, thanks.
[12:15] <Theodor> Kesman, thanks as well.
[12:17] <Tagalon1> Does anyone know how to resolve a video signal timing problem on the desktop installation CD?
[12:19] <StingRay> Alakazamz0r, as I said I want to disable gnome logins(not make the secondary)I want the out of the login manager
[12:20] <StingRay> Alakazamz0r, dpkg-reconfigure gdm is allowing me to change the default WM only
[12:20] <Alakazamz0r> i know, then inside the default window manager
[12:20] <Alakazamz0r> you can select your default desktop
[12:22] <StingRay> Alakazamz0r, default desktop or only choosable desktop?
[12:22] <Alakazamz0r> i dont understand.
[12:22] <thePuck>  Tagalon: you can set the vga option to a resolution you know your dektop can handle in the boot menu on the livecd
[12:22] <StingRay> I mean I don't want the user to be able to choose gdm from the login manager at all
[12:23] <Kesman> you mean gnome?
[12:23] <triplah> hi, i've installed irssi on the liveCD because X wont start. can anyone tell me how to install the latest nvidia drivers so i can install ubuntu?
[12:23] <Alakazamz0r> oh, then i dont know what to tell you
[12:23] <Alakazamz0r> sorry
[12:23] <liquiddoom> triplah:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[12:23] <Kesman> triplah: do you want to install the driver for the livecd ?
[12:24] <Kesman> or what
[12:24] <triplah> well i'd like to start X, so i can install ubuntu. i dont care what driver i have... just one that works
[12:24] <StingRay> Alakazamz0r, np.
[12:24] <triplah> i'm using the 8800gtx
[12:24] <triplah> liquiddoom: sorry - not in the console thanks
[12:24] <DSL_>     /quit
[12:25] <Kesman> triplah: have you tried the safe graphics mode in the livecd?
[12:25] <triplah> i tried changing the "nv" in xorg.conf to "vga" but to no avail
[12:25] <triplah> Kesman: yeah, that dropped me to conole
[12:25] <triplah> console*
[12:25] <POVaddct> triplah: vga is not a suitable fallback, try vesa
[12:25] <thePuck> try "vesa"
[12:25] <triplah> ahh ok thanks
[12:25] <Kesman> triplah: and then restart your X with sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[12:26] <Theodor> how can I transform .rpm file to .deb so I can install it? and is it a must to transform it?
[12:26] <Kesman> after changing the xorg.conf
[12:26] <triplah> hmm gdm is still failing
[12:26] <Rookie_> !alien
[12:26] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[12:26] <liquiddoom> Theodor: Alien
[12:26] <triplah> i'll check xorg log
[12:26] <liquiddoom> Theodor: And yes, it must be converted
[12:26] <Theodor> why is it a must to transform it? Why they don't do it and I just download the .deb file?
[12:26] <Rookie_> to restart X - just press ctrl+alt+backspace
[12:26] <thePuck> different package manager format
[12:27] <liquiddoom> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RPM/AlienHowto
[12:27] <triplah> Rookie_: you missed a bit of the convo. i'm not in X :)
[12:27] <Theodor> http://kitenet.net/~joey/code/alien.html
[12:27] <Theodor> that's the one ?
[12:27] <Rookie_> ohh
[12:27] <danny> Im a beginner to linux world, but I have to admit that Ubuntu is amazing !!!
[12:27] <Kesman> Theodor: you can get alien from apt
[12:27] <Kesman> I think :P
[12:27] <triplah> anyway, it still says gdm is failing. and it isnt writing to xorg log, and isnt giving any useful output
[12:27] <danny> I was bored by Windows
[12:27] <thePuck> hmmm
[12:27] <Trentster> hey all I have done a dapper lamp install, I see now the one of the applications we need to run requires php version 5.04 and I see the version apt installed is 5.1.2 , can anyone assist me in downgrading via apt ?
[12:27] <Theodor> my ubuntu is not connected.
[12:28] <ar2k7> where (what files) do i remove the firefox totem plugin?
[12:28] <danny> everything is soooo faster !!!!
[12:28] <Kesman> triplah: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE
[12:28] <Kesman> triplah: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep WW
[12:28] <triplah> danny: looks like your "!" key is faster too! ;)
[12:28] <Theodor> do I need perl to work with Alien ?
[12:28] <thePuck> lol
[12:28] <ken> danny: keep up the enthusiasm and you shall get along fine in the linux world, And yeah BTW Welcome
[12:28] <triplah> Kesman: i rm'd the log. and tried a restart. still no file there. its not logging
[12:29] <triplah> Kesman: the init script is failing without any output
[12:29] <Rookie_> !tldp

[12:30] <thePuck> nice....gentoo or arch is what I would run if not ubuntu
[12:30] <imbecile> im trying to set up the mail option in gkrellm and i need the path to thunderbird
[12:31] <liquiddoom> imbecile: /usr/bin/thunderbird

[12:31] <xstasi> noone knows?
[12:31] <Trentster>  hey all I have done a dapper lamp install, I see now the one of the applications we need to run requires php version 5.04 and I see the version apt installed is 5.1.2 , can anyone assist me in downgrading via apt ?
[12:31] <MehdiHassanpour> How should I set apt config files to fetch and store packages from an ubuntu repository CD ? I need packages to be copied and stored in /var/cache/apt/archives
[12:31] <Kesman> danny: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_add_extra_repositories and http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_Multimedia_Codecs
[12:32] <tamacracker> why won't firefox open .php pages but instead makes you download it and not have a prog to open it?
[12:32] <danny> thanx Kesman
[12:32] <danny> help appreciated
[12:32] <ken> tamacracker: thats unusual behaviour
[12:32] <eightball> tamacracker: the server is not configured correctly.
[12:32] <liquiddoom> tamacracker: it's a fault of the web server, most of the time.
[12:32] <danny> I cant believe people were saying to me that linux is hard, hard to install, lol using apt-get is a joke !!!!
[12:32] <anto9us> danny, there is official documentation at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[12:32] <tamacracker> http://www.video-game-forums.com/search.php <- won't open and tries to make me download it to view it.
[12:33] <spikeb> can the livecd installer resize ntfs?
[12:33] <imbecile> okay what do i put in the "mail reading program" portion?
[12:33] <Rookie_> danny, use linux without any X
[12:33] <Kesman> spikeb: yes
[12:33] <spikeb> thought so
[12:33] <eightball> danny: you should have used linux 5 years ago or more :)
[12:33] <spikeb> cool
[12:33] <ken> Can someone tell me the difference between Free Software and Open Source Software
[12:33] <bobby> can anyone tell me how i can compile gtk apps? the pkg-config doesnt have the required files
[12:33] <ken> ?
[12:33] <xstasi> bobby, apt-get install libgtk1.2-dev
[12:33] <xstasi> or libgtk2.0-dev
[12:33] <Rookie_> ken - think that is ot
[12:33] <spikeb> Kesman, thanks for answering, especially considering i could have booted the cd to try it heh
[12:33] <bobby> ok ty
[12:33] <Rookie_> !ot
[12:33] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ot - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:33] <ken> Rookie_: ?
[12:33] <Rookie_> off topic
[12:34] <ken> !oss
[12:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about oss - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[12:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fs - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:34] <Kesman> spikeb: no poblem to write "yes" when needed :P
[12:34] <spikeb> hehe
[12:34] <sushi_> !meta
[12:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about meta - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:34] <sushi_> !metapackage
[12:34] <ubotu> A meta-package is a package that simply depends upon other packages and brings them in. It's not a real package, but a very useful package that can drag in other package versions.
[12:34] <ken> !offtopic>ken
[12:34] <sushi_> der how do i build a metapackage
[12:34] <imbecile> liquiddoom, okay what do i put in the "mail reading program" portion?
[12:34] <spikeb> Kesman, my mom wants to try out a dual boot windows/ubuntu setup, hence my question :)
[12:35] <harrisony1> sushi_, just make a package with tons of dependnces and then add some little thing
[12:35] <Kesman> spikeb: my mom wouldn't understand the concept of linux nor booting :P
[12:35] <danny> lol I mean, Im amazed lol, now I have to get some sleep, but still wow !!! I knew that Linux was more stable, more secure, but I just cant believe Im using 200 Mb of Ram and in Windodows for the same  utilisation It reaches 550....
[12:35] <liquiddoom> imbecile: What mail cilent do you use? Thunderbird?
[12:35] <eightball> imbecile: probably thunderbird or evolution whichever you prefer
[12:35] <spikeb> Kesman, yeah my mom's cool like that
[12:35] <Kesman> spikeb: so good luck with it
[12:35] <sushi_> harrisony1 how do i make a package?
[12:35] <imbecile> liquiddoom, so i just type "thunderbird"?
[12:35] <xipietotec> I don't need no stinkin mail client
[12:35] <liquiddoom> imbecile: That should work.
[12:35] <eightball> imbecile: any pop3 client
[12:35] <Rookie_> postfix ...
[12:35] <Kesman> imbecile: mozilla-thunderbird is the command
[12:36] <danny> ohhh and last question ? In your opinion guys, is Ubuntu the best distro out there ?
[12:36] <harrisony1> um....that i dont really know much you could try searching the forum and asking there
[12:36] <xipietotec> gmail + gsendmailer.py
[12:36] <anto9us> eightball, thunderbird and evolution both support pop3 and imap
[12:36] <thePuck> hmm best for what?
[12:36] <harrisony1> danny, yes
[12:36] <Rookie_> danny, depence on what you looing for
[12:36] <danny> overall
[12:36] <Kesman> danny: can't really say
[12:36] <harrisony1> danny, overall yes
[12:36] <danny> performance wise ?
[12:37] <thePuck> hmmm I would say overall yes. better perfomance and tweaking on a gentoo system, but a lot of work to set up, and arch is fast er but not as full featured
[12:37] <MehdiHassanpour> hi
[12:37] <xipietotec> danny: Technically a micro-linux install will get you the best "performance stats" or hell, just the kernel + bash.
[12:37] <harrisony1> performance pretty good it aint as good as gentoo but hey who wants to compile everythng
[12:37] <MehdiHassanpour> I need some help
[12:37] <bobby> danny: i think its great for a fast no config install but right now i like gentoo better for the controle. however the building from source takes for ever
[12:37] <Rookie_> there are other distros that can be better in some points ... but as a beginnerdistro ubuntu is the best
[12:37] <harrisony1> MehdiHassanpour, fire away
[12:37] <MehdiHassanpour> How should I set apt config files to fetch and store packages from an ubuntu repository CD ? I need packages to be copied and stored in /var/cache/apt/archives
[12:38] <danny> so we get the perfect balance (or almost ) with Ubuntu ?
[12:38] <MehdiHassanpour> It just reads from cd and install packages... I don't need this
[12:38] <thePuck> closer than most, yeah
[12:38] <danny> ohhh and what if I want to use Bitcomet ? Its impossible is it not ?
[12:38] <anto9us> danny, I use it for both server and desktop, very good performance, xubuntu is also great on limited hardware resources
[12:38] <Theodor> !alien
[12:38] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[12:38] <harrisony1> MehdiHassanpour, errrr.....
[12:39] <xipietotec> the primary reason installing an RPM is dangerous: People moved to .deb for a reason
[12:39] <Kesman> danny: you can use bitcomet, not problem
[12:39] <datil> hi
[12:39] <harrisony1> xipietotec, inform me more?
[12:40] <danny> and okey okey this is my last question, my final last :P  I have a tablet PC (HP TC 4400) , would it work on Ubuntu ?
[12:40] <datil> how can i make the fonts in firefox look better? GNOME's font rendering doesn't seem to affect firefox
[12:40] <xipietotec> harrisony1: because RPM is terrible =P
[12:40] <harrisony1> datil, dont worry about hi's just ask
[12:40] <harrisony1> xipietotec, why? thats my point
[12:40] <danny> Kesman : so theres no need to emulate Bitcomet ?
[12:40] <bobby> i thought that rpms where ok. never used it though so what is wrong with it?
[12:40] <Kesman> danny: you may have some problems with it, but it works
[12:40] <Kesman> laptops and tablet pc:s are always a problem
[12:40] <Sdarmo> help
[12:40] <harrisony1> i just use alien when needed
[12:41] <harrisony1> Sdarmo, yes
[12:41] <xipietotec> harrisony1: it's difficult to work with and breaks easily
[12:41] <Trentster> whats the command using apt-get install to force the installation of a previous package ie: an older version of php?
[12:41] <harrisony1> xipietotec, fare enough!
[12:41] <Sdarmo> i managed to remove "admin" access from my login
[12:41] <danny> I hope in the future that Ubuntu will extend its compatibility with tablets !!!
[12:41] <xipietotec> as for why that is (e.g. the technical reason) I have no idea =)
[12:41] <harrisony1> Trentster, try in synaptic
[12:41] <danny> okey guys Good Buy  !!! and thanx again !
[12:41] <Sdarmo> is there a way i can get my dwfault user the admin right it had
[12:42] <xipietotec> although, recently Redhat said they're going to fix that or something
[12:42] <harrisony1> Sdarmo, what try retype it
[12:43] <harrisony1> xipietotec, you reckon synaptic could be used with ubuntu to manage rpms and debs, would be hard in terms of dpkg but synaptic can support rpm based
[12:43] <Sdarmo> when i install ubuntu 6.10 it installs with a default user USER1 and this user has the abililty to run apps in sudo mode
[12:43] <xipietotec> ....may the souce be with you....has there ever been a more nerd-cliche saying
[12:43] <Sdarmo> but i somewho managed to get to limit USER1
[12:43] <harrisony1> Sdarmo, yeah and you dont want that
[12:44] <Siv0x> hey will sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx install the latest drivers for an nvidia geforce 6800?
[12:44] <NoGoo> How do I format a hard drive? (or could I just remove the partition and create a new partition with gparted?)
[12:44] <Sdarmo> now USER1 has a basic user access only and i can't run anything that requires a privileged access

[01:03] <izprince> it causes all kinds of hell in Linux
[01:04] <izprince> what kind of modem is it?
[01:04] <hope13> it means you have to punch your modem
[01:04] <Hezkore> It's not actually a modem
[01:04] <Hezkore> It's fiber internet
[01:04] <Siv0x> harrisony1: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure must be run as root

[01:08] <Theodor> Where should I put the alien file when I write this: sudo dpkg -i alien_8.64_all.deb ?
[01:08] <anto9us> Hezkore, what sort of speed are you getting?
[01:08] <imbecile> lifepositive, try k3b its really intuitive
[01:08] <Hezkore> Any good page for checking that?
[01:08] <harrisony1> Theodor, just be in the same directory
[01:08] <Theodor> how is that helping? I'm asking what directory, I don't know where to put it or where the dpkg is located ...
[01:08] <anto9us> Hezkore, your ISP's page is probably a good place
[01:09] <imbecile> can someone help me install 3d desktop?

[01:09] <imbecile> thanks
[01:09] <harrisony1> or sudo apt-get install 3ddesk
[01:09] <anto9us> Hezkore, did it work alright before Ubuntu?
[01:10] <Hezkore> Yeah it works great on this computer
[01:10] <brrrt> Theodor: it does not matter where the file is, but you have to include the path to your .deb file, like dpkg -i path/to/your/file/file.deb
[01:10] <harrisony1> plbgnr, whaty model
[01:10] <Balachmar> @ plbgnr ivtv probably
[01:10] <Theodor> ahhh
[01:10] <Theodor> Okay, thanks.
[01:10] <Theodor> And where does it install it?
[01:11] <anto9us> Hezkore, my guess would be network card is mis-configured maybe duplex needs disabling or something like that, I can't advise how though, I'm looking for documentation on it
[01:11] <plbgnr> harrisony1: leadtek tv 2000 expert
[01:12] <brrrt> Theodor: after install type: whereis <progamname>     to find out where, like:   whereis man
[01:12] <harrisony1> plbgnr, gives us 1 min

[01:18] <rirux> hi
[01:18] <shArk> qos: yes .. the problem is that when i start it i can't see what i write in to the console
[01:19] <brrrt> who has ever successfully installed java on LiveCD??
[01:19] <anto9us> Hezkore, is that KBs or Kbs?
[01:19] <rirux> what is the corel equivalent of powerclip in inkscape?
[01:19] <IdleOne> Theodor, sudo apt-get build-essential will get you make and a few other packages
[01:19] <Kesman> brrrt: why would you want to do that?
[01:19] <Hezkore> anto9us: What's the difference?
[01:19] <qos> shArk, hm ... perhaps the windows fonts are missing ...
[01:19] <IdleOne> Theodor, sudo apt-get install build-essential will get you make and a few other packages
[01:19] <qos> i ve tried to repair my ubuntu system using the alternate cd rescue system ... but it also hangs with the following message: "kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1,0)" does somebody know how i can save my installation?
[01:19] <Hezkore> anto9us: Kilobytes per second
[01:19] <ale1> what do I use to multiple monitor?
[01:19] <anto9us> Hezkore, KBs is 8x faster than Kbs
[01:20] <Theodor> IdleOne, I don't have Internet on my Ubuntu box.
[01:20] <brrrt> Kesman: i need it e.g. for my netbanking
[01:20] <shArk> qos: and how do i get them ??
[01:20] <Theodor> I won't find them on the DVD ?
[01:20] <rirux> what is coreldraw's powerclip equivalent in inkscape? does anybody know?
[01:20] <Hezkore> anto9us: Well it says kB/s
[01:20] <Kesman> brrrt: but why don't you install the system and then try again?
[01:20] <anto9us> Hezkore, yes, KB/s = kilobytes Kb/s = kilobits
[01:20] <IdleOne> Theodor, packages.ubuntu.com you can download them then burn to disc and install to ubuntu box
[01:20] <Hezkore> anto9us: Oh well it's done now, took 1minute to download 82 updates
[01:20] <Theodor> IdleOne, thanks.
[01:20] <anto9us> Hezkore, seems pretty quick to me :)
[01:21] <brrrt> Kesman: i am experimenting with the persitent feature and i want java
[01:21] <Siv0x> hey, after i ctrl+alt+backspace, if something goes wrong - how can i get back to my desktop?
[01:21] <Hezkore> anto9us: It's not my normal speed :S but anywyas.... when i surf it goes a lot slower!
[01:21] <IdleOne> Theodor, Ubuntu doesnt use rpm though
[01:21] <brrrt> Kesman: why not?
[01:21] <anto9us> Hezkore, with such a fast connection some servers will perform better than others, mileage is going to vary
[01:21] <nuked_omen> Siv0x, restart maybe
[01:21] <qos> shArk, the easyues way is to copy them from an existing windows installation. but there should be some font packs out there in the internet. just google ... and copy them to ~/.fonts <- just from memory, not sure
[01:21] <nuked_omen> Siv0x, or login and type startx
[01:21] <Theodor> IdleOne, I downloaded a driver that is .rpm I have to convert it in order to install it, no?
[01:22] <qos> shArk, then restart...
[01:22] <rirux> what is coreldraw's powerclip equivalent in inkscape? does anybody know?
[01:22] <shArk> qos thanks..
[01:22] <Siv0x> nuked_omen: k
[01:22] <Hezkore> anto9us: Well Google on this computer pops up in no time, it's just there, and it used to do the same on the machine that is now running Ubuntu, but now with Ubuntu it takes like a minute :/
[01:22] <maboc> Siv0x, Try ALT+F7   or ALT+F8
[01:22] <ken>  I am sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry :(
[01:22] <nuked_omen> Theodor, try rpm -ivh filename.rpm
[01:22] <Kesman> brrrt: ok well, are you running the 32 bit or 64 bit version?
[01:22] <Siv0x> maboc: k
[01:22] <IdleOne> Theodor,  make sure there isnt a .deb for it but yeah you can convert using alien or so I hear I have never done it before
[01:22] <Siv0x> maboc: brb then
[01:22] <nuked_omen> if it doesn't work, get the rpm package
[01:23] <Kesman> brrrt: I just would prefer the installed version since it's so much faster and the stuff you do to it last after rebooting :P
[01:23] <anto9us> Hezkore, what firefox version?
[01:23] <ale1> does anyone know how do use multiple monitors?
[01:23] <brrrt> Kesman: 32bit
[01:23] <Theodor> rpm, command not found
[01:23] <Hezkore> anto9us: The version that came with the Ubuntu install... lemme check
[01:23] <ken> Theodor: Converting a .rpm with alien to a .deb is a highly risky business. PLease don't attempt it EVER, unless you can't breathe without it. It can cause multiple problems
[01:23] <nuked_omen> ale1, yes, you turn em all on

[01:31] <Hezkore> Hey anto9us: where do i setup the duplex?
[01:31] <frafra> I haven't touch anything
[01:32] <foxpaul> hi all - i've installed ubuntu server and my network card wasn't detected during the install because the cable wasn't plugged in - how can i reconfigure it now that the install is finished?
[01:32] <frafra> so, it happends at every boot time... live or installed sistem
[01:32] <ken> frafra: YOu mean to say that the ubuntu logo is messeg up at the splash screen?
[01:32] <frafra> yes
[01:32] <IdleOne> foxpaul, System > Administration > Networking
[01:32] <frafra> the splash screen is grey/black
[01:33] <frafra> and the bar doesn't work well
[01:33] <anto9us> Hezkore, best advice I can give is to start here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkDevices
[01:33] <Kesman> brrrt: oh, didn't know about that :)
[01:33] <Hezkore> Tanx mate
[01:33] <Kesman> brrrt: cool indeed
[01:33] <Kesman> brrrt: did you manage to install java?
[01:33] <dropsl> anto9us: it generates one movie file, but the playback stops after the first small movie clip ends. so it does not recognize the following appended movie files :(
[01:34] <foxpaul> IdleOne: i don't have X or anything - it's ubuntu server
[01:34] <frafra> so, is it a bug?
[01:34] <IdleOne> foxpaul, oh oops didnt see all that part
[01:34] <ken> frafra: You filed a bug report at launchpad?
[01:34] <foxpaul> np
[01:34] <anto9us> dropsl, yeah, it sometimes works though, alternatively, I think you can set up a playlist and get vlc or mplayer to output all the files
[01:34] <rolnxyz> hi I have two partitions. One partition has Ubuntu Installed but only 200 mb free, and the other partition is a ext3 and has 6gb free. Is it possible to give 1 Gb from the ext3 partition to the Ubuntu partition without messing up too much?
[01:34] <ken> frafra: search the forums, if nothing turns up it's a bug discovered by you! :)
[01:35] <frafra> :)
[01:35] <frafra> ok
[01:35] <ken> rolnxyz: Yes, you can use gparted to resize the Ubuntu EXT3 partition
[01:35] <zak> nigger stole my bike!
[01:35] <dropsl> anto9us: yeah thats an option too, does there exist a program which can merge those files anyway? perhabs cinelerra or something?
[01:35] <foxpaul> anyone have any ideas how to reconfigure network interfaces from the command line?
[01:35] <rolnxyz> can i do that with the Disks Manager?
[01:35] <ken> rolnxyz: Do you have gparted installed?
[01:35] <ken> rolnxyz: No
[01:36] <ken> rolnxyz: "sudo apt-get install gparted"
[01:36] <rolnxyz> Ok. I will instal gparted and do it that way
[01:36] <rolnxyz> thanks
[01:36] <anto9us> dropsl, yes, I believe so but that's probably overkill for the job
[01:36] <TooR4u> i am not able to change the desktop background.....:( When ever i tried to change it is loading .... loading.... loading ...
[01:36] <ken> rolnxyz: always welcome :)
[01:36] <ken> rolnxyz: You know how to use gparted, right?
[01:36] <TooR4u> what is the problem?
[01:36] <TooR4u> how to change my background?
[01:36] <ken> TooR4u: what is loading
[01:37] <anto9us> dropsl, my suggestion is to output from vlc or mplayer to a new file, in case there was any confusion
[01:37] <stefanosad> hello to any one
[01:37] <stefanosad> ive a simple question
[01:37] <ken> TooR4u: right click on desktop, change background, select different and click ok to close that dialog box, what happens after that?
[01:37] <dropsl> anto9us: a bash script which cuts out the mpeg header for the rest of the files would be the best... i wonder why there doesnt exist a command line utility like mpegmerge or something :)
[01:37] <frafra> On certain platforms with 64-bit CPUs and NVIDIA graphics, the graphical boot screen does not function and a blank screen is displayed. The solution is to wait patiently for the login screen to appear ([WWW]  #56587).
[01:37] <frafra> hahaha
[01:37] <frafra> :D
[01:37] <dropsl> anto9us: how do i do that?
[01:37] <ken> !hi stefanosad
[01:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hi stefanosad - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:37] <hardkiffeur> foxpaul: vi /etc/network/interfaces ?
[01:37] <stefanosad> Ive a numeric usb keypad on my notebook
[01:37] <ken> frafra: Good job! you contributed to the community
[01:38] <anto9us> dropsl, I know it's possible on both those apps, you should consult your favourite apps' documentation though
[01:38] <foxpaul> hardkiffeur: not sure of the format, but i'll look into it - thanks
[01:38] <stefanosad> but It dont' work well because if I enable the blocknum it work but I cannot write correctly on my keyboard
[01:38] <dropsl> anto9us: ok thanks i will try :)
[01:38] <frafra> it's not a fix XD
[01:38] <TooR4u> ken, the change the desktop window is loading
[01:39] <stefanosad> can any one help me?
[01:39] <frafra> seems to be a kernel problem
[01:39] <anto9us> dropsl, mjpegtools is also in the repositories which should do the job
[01:40] <chimera_> Hi, is it possible to print screen every 0.01 seconds on linux, i would like use this to rip sprites from various games. (bad english)
[01:40] <dropsl> anto9us: cool, i will install and look into it ;)
[01:40] <frafra> should I must report this bug?
[01:41] <TooR4u> how to chage the desktop background manually?
[01:41] <stefanosad> frafra can u help me?
[01:41] <maxy> [AD]  XChat BigRoom plugin for noisy support channels - screenshot/download: http://old.homeip.net/martin/smallprojects/bigroom.html
[01:41] <TooR4u> through cmd prompt?
[01:42] <frafra> stefanosad: I dunno... I haven't an usb numeric pad :)
[01:42] <josh_> when is the next upgrade coming out? will it have the drivers for the jmicron raid controller included with the install package?
[01:43] <rolnxyz> ken, i have never used gparted. There is a lock on the Ubuntu partition because it is being used, and because of that I can't resize
[01:43] <TooR4u> desktop background pref are not comming ....
[01:43] <maxy> chimera_: for 0.01 seconds you'd have to have a pretty fast PC. Search packages for "screen record".
[01:43] <stefanosad> frafra yep, but if u know there is the possibility to activate the numpad only on a device, in this case numpad?
[01:43] <rolnxyz> ken, i have never used gparted. There is a lock on the Ubuntu partition because it is being used, and because of that I can't resize
[01:43] <TooR4u> how to change the desktop background manually?
[01:43] <rolnxyz> sorry for repeating i didn't mean it
[01:43] <christopher_l> how do I search for packages, using apt-get?
[01:43] <Everflex> hey, i just made a new partition on my harddrive formatted with ext3, but how do i make it mount?
[01:43] <maxy> apt-cache search thingy
[01:43] <DavidHyde> Hi Y'all
[01:43] <josh_> apt-cache search package-name
[01:44] <christopher_l> thanks
[01:44] <nuked_omen> !mounting
[01:44] <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
[01:44] <anto9us> TooR4u, there's a script here that may give a clue http://xml.swik.net/GNOME/GNOME+Hacks
[01:44] <Everflex> !DiskMounter
[01:44] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - See also !fuse
[01:45] <TooR4u> anto9us, ohh 1m
[01:45] <Everflex> !fstab
[01:45] <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
[01:45] <DavidHyde> A very aggravating problem with the file system - it keeps setting itself to read only. I have to reboot and run under recovery mode to get back to read/write. Doesn't last long though. Any thoughts?
[01:45] <josh_> Everflex: system -> disks, change the path and click enable
[01:45] <nuked_omen> DavidHyde, add the 'rw' option in the /etc/fstab file
[01:45] <josh_> DavidHyde: how so?
[01:45] <TooR4u> anto9us, some kinda hacks?
[01:46] <nuked_omen> for that partition
[01:46] <Everflex> josh_: i'm on edgy, so theres no system > disks
[01:46] <josh_> ahh
[01:46] <alexkyo> lsit
[01:46] <anto9us> TooR4u, it uses gconftool-2 to set the wallpaper
[01:46] <rolnxyz> How can I resize my ubuntu partition with GParted. When I right click on the partition it has a lock and I am unable to resize it. I can't umount it neither. Any suggestions?
[01:46] <TooR4u> ok
[01:46] <TooR4u> any other options?
[01:46] <nuked_omen> Everflex, use fdisk -l  to determine what the device name is in the /dev directory
[01:46] <anto9us> TooR4u, that can be run from the command line
[01:46] <TooR4u> to set the background insted of this?
[01:47] <chimera_> I'm looking for an alternative to a program named "animget (Win32)" on Linux,
[01:47] <josh_> i haven't upgraded yet... i have to wait till i can get a kernel that supports jmicron raid controller
[01:47] <nuked_omen> Everflex, then mount it with 'sudo mount /dev/devicename /media/mountpoint'
[01:47] <nuked_omen> chimera_, what does that do?
[01:47] <Everflex> nuked_omen, oh, okay, thanks!
[01:47] <relon> hi
[01:47] <j2daosh> so they got rid of the gui way of doing mounts in edgy?
[01:47] <nuked_omen> np
[01:48] <nuked_omen> j2daosh, i'm not sure, i use dapper
[01:48] <j2daosh> not that i mind either way, i just find it interesting
[01:48] <j2daosh> thats what i used....
[01:48] <j2daosh> saved alot of nooby trouble for me when i came from windows
[01:48] <lehaid> hi, i moved from 6.06 to 6.10 and now it tells me kernel-k7 is obsolete cause of kernel-generic ?
[01:49] <nauj27> hi
[01:49] <Nigel2k5> moo
[01:49] <j2daosh> lehaid: that means that the kernel -k7 isn't current anymore and can be replaced with kernel generic
[01:49] <POVaddct> apt-get moo
[01:49] <lehaid> j2daosh, so how do i install a k7 kernel ?
[01:49] <Nigel2k5> :)
[01:50] <j2daosh> you dont need k7
[01:50] <lehaid> why not ? i dont want 386 kernel
[01:50] <Everflex> nuked_omen: how do i like create a mountpoint? I had a ntfs disk, and the reformatted it to ext3, but now i can't see in anywhere but in Gparted where it is known as /dev/hda3
[01:50] <POVaddct> Nigel2k5: apt-get moo actually does something :)
[01:50] <j2daosh> u can use the generic kernel
[01:50] <brainiac> you want the -generic kerbnel
[01:50] <lehaid> but generic is 386 no ?
[01:50] <brainiac> it replaces the optimized ones
[01:50] <brainiac> no
[01:50] <brainiac> there isnt an k7 kernel anymore
[01:51] <j2daosh> lehaid: k7 is old.... by now its no longer custom. it has been integrated into the generic kernel
[01:51] <brainiac> neither an 686
[01:51] <nuked_omen> Everflex, 'sudo mkdir /media/ntfs'
[01:51] <lehaid> why does uname -a give me i686 instead of k7 or k8 ?
[01:51] <nuked_omen> you can replace ntfs with anything of your choice
[01:51] <lehaid> i haev an amd64
[01:51] <Nigel2k5> POVaddct: yea, the moo cow
[01:51] <Everflex> nuked_omen: oh, ok. that's simple
[01:51] <nuked_omen> then mount the device on the mount point
[01:51] <j2daosh> because k-7 are old now...
[01:51] <nuked_omen> yeah
[01:51] <lehaid> so what should i put for my amd64 ?
[01:52] <j2daosh> any x86
[01:52] <Everflex> nuked_omen: but does it then automount like the other disks, or do i then need to mess around with fstab or something like that?
[01:52] <nuked_omen> i think 'what the bleep do we know' is a stupid movie
[01:52] <j2daosh> generic kernel will work fine, if you dont like it, you can try finding a custom 64bit kernel. google is your friend
[01:52] <lehaid> i see
[01:53] <lehaid> what is amd64's ubuntu channel name ?
[01:53] <brainiac> try /list
[01:53] <j2daosh> Everflex: if u just do a "mount" you will have to mount every time
[01:53] <nuked_omen> Everflex, if you're asking whether it gets automounted when you restart, no.. you have to mount it everytime manually
[01:53] <lehaid> the /list isn't smart in xchat
[01:53] <j2daosh> Everflex: you will have to use pmount or fstab for that
[01:53] <nuked_omen> Everflex, or add it to the fstab file
[01:53] <lehaid> wasn't there #ubuntu-amd64 once ?
[01:53] <lehaid> or is it a diff name ?
[01:53] <stefanosad> Sorry, to any one, but Ive a problem with my external usb numpad. It work only if Ive pressed the block num, but because I used a laptop, I cannot write correctly becasue block num deactivate some letters. Can any one help me?
[01:54] <Everflex> nuked_omen: ehh, okay.
[01:54] <lonran> i have a wireless card include in the board, how should i do not to detect it and load it at startup?
[01:55] <j2daosh> lonran: please restate the question. i dont understand whether you want to load it or not
[01:55] <lonran> i dont want to
[01:55] <lehaid> welp laters
[01:55] <lonran> i dont want to be detected
[01:56] <j2daosh> you can turn it off in your bios
[01:56] <j2daosh> probably under peripherals options
[01:56] <stefanosad> ??
[01:56] <lonran> thats the problem, theres no option
[01:56] <j2daosh> hmm...
[01:56] <stefanosad> loran and j2daosh u say to me?
[01:56] <j2daosh> stefanosad: huh?
[01:57] <lonran> j2daosh, any other idea?
[01:57] <j2daosh> lonran: so in your bios there is no option for peripherals, integrated lan... nothing?
[01:58] <lonran> nope. i know, strange
[01:58] <j2daosh> well then it seems your only 2 options are to (a), break it, (b) disable it in the network settings of ubuntu
[01:58] <j2daosh> it will still be seen but it wont be usable...
[01:58] <stefanosad> Sorry, to any one, but Ive a problem with my external usb numpad. It work only if Ive pressed the block num, but because I used a laptop, I cannot write correctly becasue block num deactivate some letters. Can any one help me?
[01:58] <j2daosh> thats about the best i can do for you
[01:59] <j2daosh> stefanosad: i dont have a numpad on my laptop. i cant help you
[01:59] <lonran> ok, even when it is disabled, it is loaded, and theres a conflict with a second card, and then, the system crashs
[01:59] <stefanosad> j2daosh: but u know a way to remap an external keyboard?
[01:59] <j2daosh> lonran: when you say conflict, explain
[01:59] <Kesman> lonran: check /etc/modules -file if the card's module is there and comment it out
[02:00] <j2daosh> stefanosad: no, im afraid i dont. sorry
[02:00] <ja> Has anyone managed to get the Creative Zen "V Plus" working with ubuntu? I cant get it working with gNomad or Amarok.
[02:00] <anto9us> lonran, there's sometimes an option to refresh configuration or something similar in the bios, try that
[02:00] <j2daosh> Kesman: personally i think he should just jam a pen into it :P
[02:00] <TooR4u> how to set away message ?
[02:00] <stefanosad> j2daosh: and a way to disable the num lock or enable only on an external device?
[02:00] <Kesman> j2daosh: :D
[02:01] <Kesman> TooR4u: /away messagecomeshere
[02:01] <TooR4u> thanq
[02:01] <gOldZahN> programm to extrat .rar?
[02:01] <lonran> i use a pcmcia wireless card, and when it connect to a network, the system crashs
[02:01] <plbgnr> pls everyone... I have this http://paste.uni.cc/12506 tv tuner and want to use it ;) which module should I use to achieve that?
[02:01] <Kesman> unrar
[02:01] <TooR4u> how to remove that?
[02:01] <Kesman> gOldZahN: unrar
[02:01] <anto9us> !info unrar

[02:02] <j2daosh> i know there is a way to disable numlock, but i have never needed to look it up
[02:02] <TooR4u> Kesman, how to remove that away message?
[02:02] <lonran> i use a pcmcia wireless card, and when it connect to a network, the system crashs, because a conflict with the other card
[02:02] <Kesman> TooR4u: /away
[02:02] <Kesman> type it again
[02:02] <j2daosh> try google, you should find the answer to your question quickly young grasshoppa
[02:02] <lonran> so i want to disable the second
[02:02] <snowkrash> hi
[02:02] <drkm> does anyone know how to get KGet to work with rapidshare.. it loads the download but only downloads the HTML file not the actual file it should be getting ?
[02:02] <snowkrash> what exactly is the xorg xserver and xfree86 and how is it related to gnome
[02:03] <j2daosh> lonran: well... if at first you dont succeed, delete everything that mentions the lancard :P
[02:03] <Kesman> xorg is an updated version of xfree86, and you could try man xorg
[02:03] <fyrzen> i hear that's a good book: "Snow Crash"
[02:03] <j2daosh> course i wouldn't suggest that without knowing how your system works.
[02:04] <snowkrash> and gnome is xorg based
[02:04] <snowkrash> right?
[02:04] <fyrzen> gnome is gnome based
[02:04] <lonran> Kesman, how do i know which module uses the card?
[02:04] <snowkrash> so gnome has nothing to do with xorg
[02:04] <Kesman> lonran: try lsmod |more
[02:04] <j2daosh> your lan *could* be tied in with something else and deleting the references and settings for it could really botch your system
[02:04] <fyrzen> no it does
[02:04] <gOldZahN> kesman, i installed it with synaptic....how to extract a file using unrar?
[02:04] <snowkrash> and hwo
[02:04] <snowkrash> how
[02:04] <Kesman> snowkrash: gnome is running on top of xorg proviing you the desktop environment
[02:04] <batch> snowkrash, of course it does
[02:04] <snowkrash> ok
[02:04] <Kesman> *providing
[02:05] <j2daosh> i on the otherhand... i have 13 hours a day to kill at work so i normally delete stuff that causes full system reinstalls to kill time
[02:05] <snowkrash> so how can i get the xorg version
[02:05] <snowkrash> which is installed
[02:05] <snowkrash> on my system
[02:05] <batch> ?
[02:05] <snowkrash> xorg --version?
[02:05] <batch> yes
[02:05] <fyrzen> only with one dash
[02:06] <Kesman> gOldZahN: man unrar
[02:06] <fyrzen> xorg -version
[02:06] <batch> Xorg -version, fyrzen
[02:06] <fyrzen> i stand corrected
[02:06] <nilsl> zsh ftw
[02:06] <nilsl> I would only type xorg and tab
[02:06] <gOldZahN> kesman, i instlled it already..how to extract a file with it now?
[02:06] <snowkrash>  man xorg -V
[02:06] <snowkrash> man, version 2.4.3, 2005-07-03
[02:06] <anto9us> gOldZahN, unrar e file.rar
[02:06] <nilsl> And zsh would do the job, so you don't really stand corrected fyrzen
[02:07] <snowkrash> this is quite an old one
[02:07] <snowkrash> isnt it
[02:07] <nilsl> ;)
[02:07] <gOldZahN> anto9us, thX
[02:07] <yccheok> hi, wat is the download manager used in ubuntu???
[02:07] <snowkrash> but its the one which comes within the edgy ubuntu
[02:07] <Kesman> snowkrash: just type Xorg -version ,no man in front of it
[02:07] <Kesman> or Xorg -V whatever
[02:07] <snowkrash> ok
[02:07] <furryballs> Is it possible to use the new internet explorer with ubuntu for website testing? I would rather not use wine.
[02:07] <batch> snowkrash, whats your problem exactly
[02:07] <anto9us> furryballs, yes, it works through wine though
[02:08] <fyrzen> IE 6 works well with wine, just that it lags...
[02:08] <furryballs> meh, I guess I'll try it so I don't have to use windows. :3
[02:08] <nuked_omen> why would anyone wanna run IE on linux?
[02:08] <gOldZahN> anto9us, but where are the extractet files now?
[02:08] <levander> That screen that's mostly orange and says Ubuntu on it with a black background when you bootup and shut down, that is called the "splash screen"?
[02:08] <batch> nuked_omen, retardation
[02:08] <anto9us> gOldZahN, should be in same directory
[02:08] <Kesman> levander: yes
[02:09] <Ubunti_Ki_> Does anyone know how to set up my Wireles Net in my IBM laptop ?
[02:09] <levander> Kesman: is there any easy way to modify it?  It still says kubuntu for me from when I installed kubuntu-desktop to try it.
[02:09] <gOldZahN> anto9us, hmm...i cant find anything....is there a way to define the extracting directory?
[02:09] <batch> Ubunti_Ki, it should work automatically
[02:09] <nuked_omen> !wireless
[02:09] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs

[02:12] <Kesman> snowkrash: what does xorg -version say?
[02:12] <anto9us> gOldZahN, cp /path/source.file /newpath/ or use mv to move it

[02:12] <Kesman> snowkrash: it is the newest
[02:12] <snowkrash> yeah but not sure if its good for the ati driver
[02:12] <snowkrash> coz they suck
[02:12] <feihung> I have problem, I just installed new display card(Geforce FX 5200), I want to install edgy but it always hang, it said kernel panic, but if I unplug it and use old display the installer working good, I can install and run windows XP with FX5200, any experience, please help
[02:12] <relon> nothing speak italian?
[02:12] <snowkrash> maybe they run better on a old version
[02:12] <Kesman> snowkrash: follow the instructions in the ubuntuguide to install ati drivers
[02:12] <anto9us> !it
[02:12] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[02:13] <snowkrash> doesnt work
[02:13] <snowkrash> i tryed
[02:13] <relon> ok thank's
[02:13] <Kesman> snowkrash: what card do you have?
[02:13] <snowkrash> which one do u mean there are several
[02:13] <skukza> !nvidia
[02:13] <snowkrash> ati x800 gto
[02:13] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:13] <relon> bye
[02:13] <snowkrash> maybe its my card
[02:13] <Hezkore> Argh someone help me, my internet is uber slow and i've tried everything! D:
[02:13] <nuked_omen> feihung, maybe start ubuntu  in graphic safe mode
[02:13] <fyrzen> feihung, boot ubuntu in recovery mode or whatever it's called and see if you can get access to a console and log on
[02:13] <Kesman> snowkrash: have you tried sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx ?
[02:13] <snowkrash> sure
[02:14] <snowkrash> already
[02:14] <snowkrash> but didnt work out
[02:14] <Kesman> how do you know it didn't work?
[02:14] <batch> beryl is silly
[02:14] <fyrzen> then you might want to 'uname-r' and reinstall your kernel or compile a new one
[02:14] <fyrzen> and after that reinstall the graphics driver or compile a new one
[02:15] <Kesman> snowkrash: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Edgy_Installation_Guide did you follow this one?
[02:15] <HotSergio> can somebody tell me the shutdown command for ubuntu?  shutdown -h -now works but it's taking longer than when i go to the shutdown menu and press the shutdown button
[02:15] <xipietotec> anyone know what pygtk-codegen-2.0 is?
[02:15] <Kesman> snowkrash: I have x700 and worked like a charm to me
[02:16] <anto9us> Hezkore, I think you should try isolating where the problem is, I suggest, if you have another computer, testing the network card by transferring a file over your network, then transfer a file over the internet using wget to eliminate firefox as the problem
[02:16] <Hezkore> anto9us: Why don't i just try Opera internet browser instead?
[02:16] <anto9us> Hezkore, yes, you could do that too :)
[02:16] <fyrzen> and try links too
[02:16] <hope13> does NX no machine work in ubuntu?
[02:16] <nuked_omen> cuz opera browser sucks
[02:17] <feihung> nuked_omen, it's same result eventhough I use safemode, it hang after last line "EIP is at Clear_local..."
[02:17] <Kesman> snowkrash: if you install the driver with that howto, read it trough a couple of times before starting
[02:17] <HotSergio> nobody knows the shutdown command?
[02:17] <snowkrash> kkkyes i followed this instructions
[02:17] <feihung> fyrzen, it's same result eventhough I use safemode, it hang after last line "EIP is at Clear_local..."
[02:17] <Kesman> snowkrash: how do you know that it isn't working?

[02:17] <Kesman> snowkrash: what does your fglrxinfo say?

[02:18] <feihung> fyrzen, I have dual boot with windows XP, I can run windows XP without problem, it hang also if I use live cd

[02:27] <ubotu> SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[02:27] <nuked_omen> i installed azureus from the repositories and been using it ever since
[02:27] <nuked_omen> skukza, you answered your question
[02:27] <nuked_omen> what is wrong
[02:27] <anto9us> hope13, yes, client is installed by default, server is installed with sudo apt-get install ssh

[02:30] <rolnxyz> Is there anyway to resize my / Ubuntu partition? I am trying but I can't resize unless its umounted, and I can't use any live-CD. Any suggestion?
[02:30] <skukza> hmm ive jsut installed new nvidia drivers how do i test them
[02:30] <NoobieDoobieDo> rolnxyz: hrm.....
[02:30] <NoobieDoobieDo> skukza: reboot the WM
[02:30] <skukza> eh?
[02:30] <nuked_omen> NoobieDoobieDo, yeah, go to talk to the guys at ubuntu-offtopic
[02:31] <nuked_omen> they cool
[02:31] <NoobieDoobieDo> skukza: reboot the windows manager, or run glxgears

[02:31] <skukza> ok
[02:32] <freeeeeez> yay i got azureus to work!
[02:32] <anto9us> rolnxyz, do you have another computer or another hard disk?
[02:32] <freeeeeez> now can someone give me instructions on how to instlal limewire
[02:32] <rolnxyz> its a laptop
[02:32] <freeeeeez> i did the instructions on the net and it didn't work
[02:32] <rolnxyz> i do have another computer
[02:33] <anto9us> rolnxyz, might be tricky sticking the laptop HD in there to resize unless you have a converter for it
[02:33] <nuked_omen> freeeeeez, how are we installing limewire?
[02:33] <Zaggynl> Anyone has experience with aegis-antivirus?
[02:33] <freeeeeez> can i install by apt-get?
[02:33] <freeeeeez> i never tried that
[02:33] <nuked_omen> try it then
[02:34] <freeeeeez> is it just apt-get install limewire?
[02:34] <Zaggynl> yes
[02:34] <freeeeeez> ok
[02:34] <rolnxyz> anto9us, mmm I dont have a converter... I guess I have to find some other way
[02:34] <nuked_omen> Zaggynl, not me, but avira antivir is a pretty good free antivirus program
[02:34] <anto9us> rolnxyz, if the other computer runs linux you might be able to set up a network boot, though it's not for the faint hearted
[02:34] <Zaggynl> nuked_omen, cool, linux native and free?
[02:34] <nuked_omen> Zaggynl, no.. winders
[02:34] <Zaggynl> ah
[02:34] <Zaggynl> *windows
[02:34] <nuked_omen> if you want linux native, there is clamav

[02:34] <perlmonk> Hi everyone
[02:35] <NoobieDoobieDo> hi
[02:35] <perlmonk> Do you know guys how much this is common in #debian ?
 Trentster: and really, you need to ask #ubuntu or use their forums, since we don't know anything about their packages.
 dondelelcaro, thanks....and i have been asking for hours there..no-one responds...
[02:35] <perlmonk> I mean, is it like none of the ubuntu people able to support the OS ?
[02:35] <perlmonk> you guys need to progress....
[02:35] <anto9us> Trentster, I responded to him about 20 minutes ago
[02:36] <TooR4u> ha
[02:36] <perlmonk> doesn't seem like it helped
[02:36] <freeeeeez> there is no apt-get install limewire
[02:36] <freeeeeez> sorry
[02:36] <perlmonk> but it's just not an isolated case
[02:36] <freeeeeez> i just tried it
[02:36] <freeeeeez> and it cant be found
[02:36] <nuked_omen> perlmonk, what was your problem?
[02:36] <rolnxyz> anto9us, nope its a windows computer... I dont know what is wrong with this laptop... It just doesn't recognize linux CD's. I installed ubuntu by instlux
[02:36] <Zaggynl> freeeeeez, perhaps the repository is missing
[02:36] <freeeeeez> how do i add it
[02:36] <perlmonk> we get TONS of people coming there with this statement "I asked in #ubuntu but noone answered." sometimes for very simple things :P
[02:36] <Zaggynl> freeeeeez, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
[02:37] <perlmonk> nuked_omen, I have no problem
[02:37] <perlmonk> Well, good luck guys
[02:37] <skukza> how fast should glxgears be running?
[02:38] <Zaggynl> depends on the hardware and whatnot
[02:38] <Zaggynl> glxgears is not really a benchmark
[02:38] <skukza> nvidia 6600
[02:38] <NoobieDoobieDo> skukza: fast enough so you're satisfied :)
[02:38] <NoobieDoobieDo> <-- nvidia ti 4200
[02:38] <skukza> well i dont think 3d is enabled some how
[02:38] <NoobieDoobieDo> skukza: glxinfo
[02:39] <skukza> seeeing as glxgears is running very slowly and yet to return a value
[02:39] <freeeeeez> those directions on that sight are right.. my software sources looks differen't
[02:39] <Zaggynl> skukza, glxinfo | grep direct
[02:39] <freeeeeez> that is directions to 6.06.. i got6.10
[02:39] <freeeeeez> and i did all that already
[02:39] <HeathenDan> can i ask non-ubuntu tech questions here?
[02:39] <nuked_omen> HeathenDan, go ahead

[02:39] <Zaggynl> freeeeeez, sorry I run 6.06, can't help ya
[02:40] <NoobieDoobieDo> skukza: make sure "glxinfo | grep "vendor" says NVIDIA
[02:40] <Zaggynl> skukza, it appears you haven't installed drivers for your video card yet, or something went wrong
[02:40] <HeathenDan> lol
[02:40] <anto9us> HeathenDan, pay no attention to NoobieDoobieDo, I have a premium rate number and you can even ask me what I'm wearing

[02:50] <klaas> MenZa use ntpdate, it updates your time over ntp servers
[02:51] <gili> how do i convert APE (monkeys audio) files to MP3/Wav???
[02:51] <Zaggynl> gili, I heard audacity is a nice program for such things, don't have experience with it though
[02:51] <MenZa> klaas: right, can I set timezone flags?
[02:51] <NoobieDoobieDo> MenZa: ya that does look pretty confusing
[02:51] <MenZa> e.g. gmt+1 or CET
[02:51] <anto9us> Trentster, ok, follow the steps on that link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
[02:51] <klaas> your timezone should be set already, you chose that during ubuntu intallation
[02:52] <Trentster> anto9us, thanks man.....
[02:52] <MenZa> This is actually Debian, but it's the same application (date)
[02:52] <MenZa> (server)
[02:52] <klaas> well you set the timezone over a file in /etc
[02:52] <klaas> google it for debian, not sure if its 100% equal
[02:53] <MenZa> Hmm, I only wish to set the time for my user account
[02:53] <MenZa> Okay, thanks
[02:54] <Hezkore> Hey when i try to view my shared folders from another computer it asks me for a password... where do i change that? :S
[02:54] <enyc> Hezkore: erm you wmean files share on Ubuntu-computer using samba?
[02:54] <Hezkore> .... Sure whatever :S
[02:55] <enyc> Hezkore: well i need to know what you mean in order to answer the question correctly
[02:55] <Hezkore> Ok well here's what i did
[02:55] <Hezkore> I clicked System > Admin stuffzorz > Shared folders
[02:56] <Hezkore> Then i selected to share my Home folder and now when someone tries to access it, they are asked to enter a password and username
[02:56] <enyc> Hezkore: right... and when you do this initially you need to choose to install samba or nfs iirc
[02:56] <Hezkore> It said Windows or somethig, i selected Windows
[02:57] <enyc> Hezkore: right ok
[02:57] <Hezkore> Unix and Windows i think...
[02:57] <Hezkore> I choose Windows
[02:57] <Hezkore> Oh hey
[02:57] <lilly> what do i need to start making LaTeX documents?
[02:57] <enyc> Hezkore: erm you can use the "smbpasswd -a" command to create a samba-password for your user-account.... after you have done this... other ussers acan connect esing your username and the smbpasswod you created
[02:57] <Hezkore> When i share the folder i can select SMB or NFS
[02:58] <Hezkore> Cool i'll try that
[02:58] <KloBass> hi I have problem with my graphic card :( have Edgy and card is Mobile 945GM.. using i810 driver.... direct rendering is enabled BUT it have kind of broblem : " libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x5b "
[02:58] <KloBass> I searched with google on our czech forum ubuntuforum and nowhere I can find how to force that stupid card to do what it have to do
[02:58] <feihung> I got P4I45GV motherboard and additional Geforce5200 AGP card, P4I45GV has a built-in video. Im having problem istalling Ubuntu 6.10 since Im new in ubuntu and never tried any Linux, can somebody help me what to do? When I change my primary video in BIOS to the built-in, the installation is good, but when I change it to AGP Nvidia 5200 FX, the installation just hangs. Is there any way I could do this right?
[02:58] <siv0x> how do i enable universe/multiverse in my sourcelist?
[02:59] <enyc> KloBass: hrrm i know intel have decided on open driver architecture to support their 3d acceleraters... this situation is likelo to improve regardless ;-)
[02:59] <IdleOne> !universe | siv0x
[02:59] <ubotu> siv0x: 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
[02:59] <bungle> is there some gadget that registers how hard youre blowing down a tube on the computer.  like whatever christopher reeve uses?
[02:59] <lukus001> Does anyone know how I can get ubuntu to force a specific application to run through a certain port?
[03:00] <enyc> Hezkore: erm... with samba (you are sharing with SMB/samba), the sending-computer sends a username and authonticates the password... this is checked againsst the smbpassword for a user account...  then access is allowed to whatever that user could access on that unix system... its erm complicated to understand at-first
[03:01] <enyc> Hezkore: mostly you just need to understand that the UNIX password on your account is not the same as the smbpasswd (SAMBA password) in short
[03:01] <coolrazor007> With a default install of ubuntu server, I installed openssh server, but when I try to connect it says "connection refused"  Why?
[03:01] <enyc> Hezkore: hence you have to 'smbpasswd -a' to "Add" a samba-password for your account... then you can change it with "smbpasswd" if you like
[03:01] <lilly> !latex

[03:01] <ubotu> Package latex does not exist in any distro I know

[03:01] <enyc> coolrazor007: first logon to the ubuntu-server... and check "netstat -ltn"

[03:02] <Azul> weird, ubotu used to know about lyx
[03:02] <Hezkore> enyc: Lol xD no
[03:02] <enyc> Hezkore: ok ;-)
[03:03] <Hezkore> enyc: Well thanx mate!
[03:03] <enyc> Hezkore: I have this habit of doing most things commandline and then later discovering the fancy click-mouse way of doing some of them later
[03:03] <anto9us> lukus001, there's a team dedicated to accessibility, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/Team
[03:03] <enyc> Hezkore: lots of "oh I didnt know you could do that"
[03:03] <Hezkore> enyc: I've used Ubuntu for 5 mins, it's all new to me :S how do you know all of these terminal commands?
[03:03] <anto9us> lukus001, sorry, that was meant for bungle
[03:04] <anto9us> bungle, there's a team dedicated to accessibility, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/Team

[03:04] <Hezkore> enyc: How sad

[03:04] <coolrazor007> ...how do I whisper in IRC?
[03:04] <Hezkore> enyc: I have a dvorak keyboard myself
[03:05] <enyc> Hezkore: so.. i learnt and asked questions and experimented
[03:05] <anto9us> lukus001, yeah, i scrolled too quick for my eyes to keep up with my brain, or vice versa, time for a cup of tea
[03:05] <enyc> Hezkore: I only have layout set in software.. move the keytops around ;-)
[03:05] <Hezkore> enyc: Ah lol
[03:05] <enyc> Hezkore: well anyway  aoeuidhtns !
[03:05] <Hezkore> enyc: Linux is such a mess -_-
[03:05] <enyc> Hezkore: what do you mean?
[03:06] <enyc> Hezkore: the world is a mess ;-)
[03:06] <enyc> Hezkore: life is a mess ;-)
[03:06] <Hezkore> enyc: Not with Windows Vista, it fixes your whole life :P
[03:06] <enyc> Hezkore: error in Hezkore
[03:06] <Hezkore> Oh please!
[03:06] <Azul> Hezkore, that's what makes it fun to use
[03:06] <Hezkore> I get chest pains from Linux
[03:07] <enyc> Hezkore: anyway I have used debian and suse and ubuntu and gentoo and slackware and redhat

[03:07] <orgy`> hi
[03:07] <siv0x> Is anyone familiar with installing Sun JRE so i can run frostwire? I've checked all those forums, etc that you guys gave me but I still cant figure it out..
[03:07] <enyc> Hezkore: hrrm Once you get use d to things ubuntu is preety good all-round actually
[03:07] <anto9us> Hezkore, I think I've isolated the problem, it appears to be located between your keyboard and chair, the device has been badly programmed by microsoft
[03:08] <enyc> Hezkore: if you expect things to be like windows you are starting from the wrong point-of-view sort-of-thing
[03:08] <orgy`> is there a possibilitie to get the main password of a revelation file? :(
[03:08] <enyc> siv0x: i know that can be done on dapper-onwards... what release are you using?
[03:09] <siv0x> enyc: Edgy =\
[03:09] <Hezkore> enyc: I've never fully understood Linux, i just want something that works and Linux has never worked for me, not on any computer i've tried, Ubuntu works really bad right now
[03:09] <enyc> siv0x: hrrm I see the problem lol
[03:09] <enyc> siv0x: im sure its do-able... i just dont kno myself
[03:09] <enyc> Hezkore: keep learning ;-)
[03:09] <siv0x> Hezkore: Linux works bad untill you get the proper drivers installed.
[03:10] <siv0x> enyc: yeah.. =\
[03:10] <Plinty> why do I keep getting "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: memmove" error when trying to run java applications?
[03:10] <enyc> Hezkore: do 1-bit-at-a-time and keep notes on anything important you found out
[03:10] <Hezkore> There are about 9,0493320948320493209432094328094 drivers for each every thing and they all works like poop
[03:10] <enyc> Hezkore: lol things dont quite work like that
[03:10] <Plinty> I have installed sun-java
[03:10] <Hezkore> They don't work at all!, that's the problem :P
[03:11] <enyc> Hezkore: what are you trying to use?
[03:11] <Hezkore> Well... everything lol
[03:11] <Hezkore> Internet is slow, browsing thrue my HD is slow
[03:11] <Hezkore> Resizing windows is slow
[03:11] <Hezkore> Making a new partition didn't work
[03:11] <KloBass> Hezkore: use hammer
[03:12] <enyc> Hezkore: I have scanning and dualmonitors/video and various ethernet and sound adapters and scsi and PATA and SATA and video-capture and raid and chipsets and printers and allsorts that all speaks to the various componets fine...
[03:12] <Spyder_uk> hey guys I wonder if someone can help me, I have an annoying firefox problem which I cannot find the answer in days.  Basically a lot of the time when I open firefox it starts minimized and wont maximize
[03:12] <enyc> Hezkore: rught... "internet" -- what do you mean there ?
[03:12] <enyc> Hezkore: network adapter ?
[03:12] <Hezkore> enyc: I can surf the net but every page takes about 1-2 minutes to load
[03:13] <enyc> Hezkore: hrrm if video display is slow that might be specific issue.. you may need  fglrx or nvidia  driver to make things fast
[03:13] <Hezkore> I have a ATI
[03:13] <enyc> Hezkore: thats odd....  normal ethernet adapter?
[03:13] <Hezkore> Yeah
[03:13] <enyc> Hezkore: see "lspci" to see hardware list etc.
[03:13] <enyc> Hezkore: hrrm does it work ok from various LiveCDs ?
[03:13] <anto9us> I think throughput is pretty good with 870KB/s
[03:13] <enyc> heh this machine has an older NE2000 card on 10base2 !! lol
[03:14] <anto9us> enyc, that's Hezkore's throughput btw
[03:14] <Hezkore> I have two Ethernet Controllers...
[03:14] <enyc> Hezkore: if you are dhaving some funny issues like that... I would get out a few different liverds and see where the problem changes...
[03:15] <izprince> Quick question, if I want to try Feisty, can I upgrade to it with dist-upgrade?
[03:15] <Hezkore> Livewhaas?
[03:15] <KloBass> okey one more problem with acpi.. ubuntu 6.10 didt recognize when my ntb is on battery or not it always say : computer is on AC power.... somebody know how to ifx it? I read somewhere that is something with psmouse module
[03:15] <enyc> izprince: not sure... there may be other requirments.. nad note that Feisty is DEVELOPMENT ONLY
[03:15] <enyc> KloBass: not heard of that... I tend to do bios-update before asking more questions myself
[03:16] <KloBass> enyc: have bios updated
[03:16] <enyc> KloBass: ok
[03:16] <freeeeeez> damn i just downloaded google earth and i cant find it.. how do i find applications i download that dont show up in applications
[03:16] <enyc> freeeeeez: erm... I think you need to run the .bin file as root
[03:17] <freeeeeez> its all installed
[03:17] <freeeeeez> also check gmail didn't show up
[03:17] <enyc> freeeeeez: when its installed itself you tcan then create a launcher to the /usr/local/bin/(whatever) to launch it
[03:17] <siv0x> Has anyone in here installed Java 5 JRE on Edgy?
[03:17] <Hezkore> The problem is connecting to servers... i think.. because once i'm connected to like Google, searching goes very fast, but as fast as i go to another page it takes 1-2 minutes to connect to it
[03:17] <orgy`> anyone knows of getting the relevation password managers super password?
[03:17] <anto9us> freeeeeez, if you used firefox press ctrl+Y from firefox
[03:17] <enyc> Hezkore: thats really weird
[03:17] <freeeeeez> that just brung up the downloads
[03:18] <orgy`> Hezkore what sites are you talking about =)
[03:18] <batch> bully_, :] 
[03:18] <enyc> Hezkore: I would try a different ethernet card if possible... I would try a few different liverds if possible (e.g. KNOPPIX 5.0.1 and ubuntu-edgy-desktop and ubuntu-dapper-desktop) and see what changes
[03:18] <anto9us> Hezkore, try installing the fasterfox addon from here http://fasterfox.mozdev.org/
[03:18] <Hezkore> I don't have time for all that!, i've got other things to do :(/
[03:18] <enyc> Hezkore: you might find that everybody with that revisien aof that network chipset with that kernel version has this problem
[03:18] <Hezkore> Argh!
[03:18] <enyc> Hezkore: well then dont expect to find out more ;-)
[03:19] <enyc> Hezkore: debugging skillz needed !
[03:19] <Hezkore> Terrible
[03:19] <enyc> Hezkore: I know all about this sort of thing with fixing computers... not just any particular OS...
[03:19] <Zaggynl> Hmm, why does performance in 3d suck when you have gnome-system-monitor running?
[03:20] <enyc> Hezkore: general purpose machines / OSes  simply are never perfect... I tend ot find/think athat any program/system/device has different advantages/disadvantages/incompatibilites than some others ;-)
[03:20] <Hezkore> Windows is the shit, especially Vista it works great!
[03:20] <enyc> Hezkore: I just make things that can work together, work together, and keep notes of anything important... and keep things working
[03:21] <enyc> Hezkore: and I don't deal in such "overgeneralizations" like that you mentioned there
[03:21] <Hezkore> Just downloading VLC Player is weird...
[03:21] <lerneaen_hydra> does anyone know how to get both runtime and dev wxwidgets installed?
[03:22] <anto9us> Hezkore, you installed it from the repositories or downloaded from vlc website?
[03:22] <Li`lEndian> Hi, i have a really slow connection, my problem is that apt-get gets timed out too often
[03:22] <Hezkore> I went to the VLC player page and select Ubuntu and now i have to use the terminal to get it..
[03:22] <Li`lEndian> is there a way i could increase the time-out period in seconds- and resume?
[03:23] <enyc> lerneaen_hydra: well there are a few different -dev packages for libwx  etc.
[03:23] <anto9us> Hezkore, no, you can use Applications | Add Remove to install it
[03:23] <enyc> lerneaen_hydra: erm "apt-cache search wxwidgets" ?
[03:23] <Hezkore> anto9us: ... Wow yeah, that's pretty nice actually :D
[03:24] <LameBMX> dual monitor .. anyone know why http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39464/ isnt working ... its susposed to be s-video out for the secondary
[03:24] <webwolf_27> for VLC universe/multivers repos have to be setup
[03:24] <foxpaul> hi all - any ideas how i can enable verticalscoll on my laptop, with a synaptics touchpad? i've tried putting VertScrollDelta in the config, but didn't have any effect
[03:24] <anto9us> Hezkore, yes, thousands of apps at the click of a button, you don't get that on vista :)
[03:24] <lerneaen_hydra> enyc: I've grabbed all the ones that seemed good to have, but when I try to make depend my app it can't find the needed files
[03:24] <Hezkore> anto9us: Actually you do :S
[03:24] <enyc> lerneaen_hydra: erm...
[03:24] <enyc> lerneaen_hydra: you are trying to compile something...
[03:25] <feihung> I got P4I45GV motherboard and additional  Nvidia 5200 AGP card, P4I45GV has a built-in video. Im having problem istalling Ubuntu 6.10 since Im new in ubuntu and never tried any Linux, can somebody help me what to do? When I change my primary video in BIOS to the built-in, the installation is good, but when I change it to AGP Nvidia 5200 FX, the installation just hangs. Is there any way I could do this right?
[03:25] <feihung> I can not use safemode since after booting it hang
[03:25] <feihung> last line iseip is at clear_local_apic+0x21/0xC0
[03:25] <webwolf_27> Hezkore, at what cost
[03:25] <lerneaen_hydra> enyc: yes, wxchecksums
[03:25] <Hezkore> None, there are several free programs that can do it too
[03:25] <enyc> lerneaen_hydra: try "sudo apt-get build-dep (package)" where (package) is an existing package similar to what you are trying to compile
[03:25] <lerneaen_hydra> enyc: I do have build-essential installed and have compiled many other apps
[03:25] <enyc> lerneaen_hydra: this will install the 'build-dependancies' for (package)
[03:25] <lerneaen_hydra> enyc: I don't know of a similar package in the apt system
[03:25] <Hezkore> Hey where does it install VLC? :S
[03:26] <enyc> lerneaen_hydra: I tend to install 'build-essential' and 'fakeroot' actually
[03:26] <enyc> Hezkore: using the package?
[03:26] <webwolf_27> Hezkore, cost doesn't always meen price... look at some of those lisences, not to mention Vista's Lisence
[03:26] <enyc> Hezkore: or what ?
[03:26] <lerneaen_hydra> enyc: fakeroot?
[03:26] <enyc> lerneaen_hydra: its useful when building .deb packages
[03:26] <Hezkore> enyc: I used the add / Remove programs thing
[03:26] <lerneaen_hydra> enyc: oh, I see
[03:26] <Everflex> does anyone know of a guide or something on how to configure /etc/fstab?
[03:26] <enyc> Hezkore: hrrm then its prboably installed the 'vlc' package
[03:26] <anto9us> Hezkore, you may need to add repositories, only have to do this once, go to System | Administration | Software Sources...
search ubuntuguide.com?
[03:27] <anto9us> Hezkore, tick all the boxes except for source code
[03:27] <enyc> Hezkore: well then you can "dpkg -L vlc" to see what files were installed by that particular package (but not the packgaes it depepneds on)
[03:27] <Everflex> meng: i tried, but i can't find anything
[03:27] <enyc> Hezkore: you will probabyl find the main program binary (executable) is /usr/bin/vlc
[03:27] <mano> Hi everyone! I'm using edgy ppc...
[03:27] <Everflex> meng: oh, sorry. i tried the forums, but not the guide. thanks :D
[03:28] <mano> have anyone tried to install flash support via nspluginwrapper+qemu?
[03:28] <lerneaen_hydra> enyc: this is the start of the results from make depend: http://pastebin.ca/296737 (the warnings continue for quite a while)
[03:28] <Hezkore> Thanx everyone
[03:28] <mano> it seems possible, but can't find a tutorial...
[03:29] <mano> anyway thanks for a great distro!
[03:29] <Hezkore> Amazing VLC even works!, i didn't expect that
[03:29] <[Kork] > hi there. is installing debian-unstable pakets a problem? i need a a gaim-xmms-remote for gaim2
[03:30] <meng> i've got this problem with basic internet connectivity
[03:30] <joe_> Newb question. Im stuck trying to install the touchscreen driver from www.conan.de for the P1510 lifebook, it says to "Copy the file "fujitsu_drv.o" to the appropriate location ("/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input")". The location /usr/X11R6/lib exists but not the /modules/input. Do i copy the file somewhere else or is there somthing else that i need to install first. Can anyone help please?
[03:30] <bob980> hallo
[03:30] <meng> i cannot even get into the internet through Ubuntu, Fedora or even Knoppix
[03:30] <enyc> lerneaen_hydra: well... in edgy.. "wx2.6-headers" package.. includes /usr/include/wx-2.6/wx/wx.h
[03:30] <anto9us> Hezkore, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats for playing all your media files
[03:31] <enyc> lerneaen_hydra: i.e. one of the files your ocmpile isn't seeing
[03:31] <meng> windows works well
[03:31] <enyc> meng: hrrm  network adapter ?  modem ?
[03:31] <gOldZahN> powerful webeditor?
[03:31] <enyc> meng: how was it configured on win32/64 in the first place?
[03:31] <Hezkore> Why do i need to read this anto9us?
[03:31] <meng> but in Linux, only konqueror works and nothing else would connect
[03:31] <lerneaen_hydra> enyc: hmm, that's not too fun
[03:31] <enyc> lerneaen_hydra: ??
[03:31] <mano> meng: are you behind a firewall?
[03:32] <enyc> lerneaen_hydra: ? (dont understand)
[03:32] <meng> enyc> ethernet through a DSL wireless router
[03:32] <lerneaen_hydra> enyc: any common reason that it can't find the files?
[03:32] <anto9us> Hezkore, vlc is good but it won't play everything, that page will help
[03:32] <enyc> lerneaen_hydra: well it depends where in looks for the headers to include
[03:32] <Hezkore> anto9us oh noes i just noticed that! D:
[03:32] <enyc> lerneaen_hydra: have you got eth eabove package installed?
[03:32] <meng> i even poped open my old Aztech modem to be sure and i could not even get through too
[03:32] <meng> mano> meng: are you behind a firewall? --> router's firewall all off
[03:33] <anto9us> Hezkore, go through that page and it will pay dividends
[03:33] <enyc> lerneaen_hydra: most config scripts let you specify --with-wx-headers=  sort of thing to tell them where to find things
[03:33] <lerneaen_hydra> enyc: yes, I have wx2.6-headers
 meng: how was it configured on win32/64 in the first place? -->static IP
[03:33] <enyc> lerneaen_hydra: pastebin the ./configure --help ?
[03:33] <mano> meng: if konqueror works, what doesn't?
[03:33] <lerneaen_hydra> enyc: I wasn't doing ./configure, just make depend
[03:33] <mano> meng: can you ping anything?
 everything else
 oh, ping works
[03:34] <kane77> how can i upgrade to gnome 2.16?? (I have dapper with 2.14 gnome)
[03:34] <enyc> meng: right... im not famailiar with WLAN adapter config acutally... I know there are many chipset wlan adapters that work well... and many that are a pain / take trouble to work correctly. mostly due to silly wlan adapter manafacturers not providing the necessary technical documentation
[03:34] <enyc> kane77: upgrade to edgy ;-)
[03:34] <tantris> Hi! I wanted to setup ntpd like explained at ubuntu.com but ntp-simple does not seemt to install the necessary files?
[03:34] <meng> enyc> er, on ethernet connection to router
[03:34] <enyc> lerneaen_hydra: hrrm not familira with that then
[03:34] <kane77> enyc, and without that??
[03:35] <enyc> kane77: not sure.. backported package
 meng: can you ping anything? --> yeah, just .com.my sites for now, taiwanese cable still down
[03:35] <anto9us> kane77, upgrade to edgy is by far easiest method
[03:35] <mano> meng: but this happens only with wireless, or also wired?
[03:35] <enyc> kane77: or backport it yourself...... i dont see why you should bother though
[03:35] <lerneaen_hydra> enyc: ok, thanks anyway
[03:35] <kane77> *sigh*
[03:35] <Everflex> how do i change the permissions of a partition?
 meng: but this happens only with wireless, or also wired? --> on a desktop, so no wireless to try
[03:36] <lerneaen_hydra> enyc: I'll check #wxwidgets
[03:36] <enyc> Everflex: I dont think partitions have 'permissions' but rather a filesystem on them can
[03:36] <kane77> everflex, I'd say in /etc/fstab
[03:36] <tantris> any idea how to setup ntpd on ubuntu edgy?
 i've tried another modem, but same thing too, it's a simpler non router one
[03:36] <enyc> Everflex: also the flags/config to 'mount' partitions can do that
[03:36] <enyc> tantris: its not usualy worth bothering unless you really want to sevre time clients locally
[03:37] <enyc> tantris: usually better to put a "ntpdate -u pool.ntp.org" in a cron-task
[03:37] <mano> meng: so, you can ping only .com sites, but via Konqueror you manage to reach everything. Firefox, gftp, etc won't work. Right?
[03:37] <tantris> enyc, I want to adjust the time drift on my server
[03:37] <enyc> tantris: NTPD can do funny things in my experience with NAPT scenarios
 meng: so, you can ping only .com sites, but via Konqueror you manage to reach everything. Firefox, gftp, etc won't work. Right? -->yup, even apt-get too
[03:38] <Everflex> kane77: ok. but i can't just figure out how to configure /etc/fstab. can you explain me the system or something?
[03:38] <enyc> tantris: unless this is a big problem you just setup an ntpdate command to run....  ive nevr got ntpd behaving itself... but this was on gentoo messy system ;-)
[03:38] <mano> meng: perhaps dns misconfigured?
[03:38] <kane77> Everflex, have you got there the partition you want to change?
[03:38] <mano> meng: can you ping an IP directly?
[03:38] <meng> DNS server is the router address
[03:38] <enyc> ping 81.187.81.187 ;-)
[03:39] <tantris> enyc: you are right, same for me, never got it running on gentoo, but I thought things might be better on ubuntu, so I will stick to ntpdate :-)
[03:39] <meng> mano> meng: can you ping an IP directly? --> as in local or internet?
[03:39] <Everflex> kane77:  yea. hda3 it's called.
[03:39] <enyc> tantris: im sure it can work but ntpd seems to be a poin
 ping 81.187.81.187 ;-) --> i am affected by the quake, so no go there
[03:39] <mano> meng: internet. If you can't ping www.ubuntulinux.org
[03:39] <kane77> what does it says in the line where it is?
[03:39] <mano> meng: try 82.211.81.166
[03:40] <mano> meng: 82.211.81.166 is the ip of www.ubuntulinux.org
[03:40] <tantris> enyc: do you think I should inform someone about the incorrect website at help.ubuntu.com/community/NTPTimeSynchronisation?
[03:40] <enyc> tantris: 'ntpdate -u pool.ntp.org' seems to be suffirient
[03:40] <Everflex> kane77: i'll pastebin  it, 1 sec
[03:40] <meng> mano> can't ping
[03:40] <kane77> Everflex, ok
[03:40] <mano> meng: but in windows you can??
[03:40] <lerneaen_hydra> enyc: there was also an rpm of the program I wanted to run, is it easy to extract the program from an rpm?
[03:40] <mano> meng: strange!
[03:41] <abhinay> My system crashes when i switch from ctrl+alt+f1 to ctrl+alt+f7 , Anybody help plz !
[03:41] <mano> meng: what's your ip now?
[03:41] <izprince> about how long does it take for a kernel to compile?
[03:41] <mano> meng: I'll try pinging you
[03:41] <izprince> I think I might go do something else for a while
[03:41] <enyc> lerneaen_hydra: hrrm possimbly... use alien to convert the package.. but its not always a good way
[03:41] <enyc> tantris: I m not sure that page is incorrect myself
[03:41] <lerneaen_hydra> enyc: what about just grabbing the binary, rather than making a .deb?
[03:41] <mano> izprince: on what system?
[03:41] <Everflex> kane77: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39466/
[03:42] <enyc> tantris: I didnt know about "ntp-simple"
[03:42] <izprince> AMD64

[03:42] <enyc> lerneaen_hydra: well that way work... dependaing what the binary was built fo
[03:42] <VMT2007> Is there a way to safely resize ext3 partitions?
[03:42] <Everflex> kane77: i just posted all of my fstab. it's the hda3 i want to automount and all
[03:42] <izprince> it's running a Sempron 3100+
[03:42] <mano> izprince: on my Athlon 3400+ AMD64 ten minutes
[03:42] <lerneaen_hydra> enyc: it says it's for mandrake linux
[03:42] <mano> izprince: but varies on the configuration...
[03:42] <lerneaen_hydra> enyc: nothing else I'm afraid
[03:42] <stefg> !gParted | VMT2007
[03:42] <ubotu> VMT2007: gparted is a GUI partitioning program, "apt-get install gparted", also available as a live cd http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[03:42] <mano> meng: I can ping you without problems
[03:42] <enyc> lerneaen_hydra: thats a but bizarre
[03:43] <meng> mano:Reply from 82.211.81.166: bytes=32 time=3827ms TTL=42
[03:43] <VMT2007> yeah but my question is will that resize a journaled filesystem like ext3
[03:43] <kane77> Everflex, what do you want to change permissions to?
[03:43] <Hezkore> Hey where do i select what program opens what type of files...?
[03:43] <enyc> lerneaen_hydra: you should be able to get the ./configure type thing to find the headers and compile it yoursely etc.
[03:43] <dehvokahn> quick question - how do i page up to see all of the lines from a really long terminal output?
[03:43] <stefg> VMT: sure
[03:43] <Hezkore> Like AVI should always be opened with VLC
[03:43] <kane77> Everflex, you cannot have writable ntfs partition...
[03:43] <VMT2007> without sending everything to hell and back...
[03:43] <tantris> enyc: yes it unfortunately is, the ntp-simple neither installs the configuration files at /etc nor does it start ntpd e.g. through /etc/init.d ...
[03:43] <enyc> VMT2007: you can resize ext3 with gparted
[03:43] <mano> meng: try me at mano.homelinux.org
[03:43] <lerneaen_hydra> enyc: how would I do that?
[03:43] <meng> mano: i am doing all this through windows now
[03:44] <enyc> tantris: create launchpad bugs for the exact issue with details given
[03:44] <meng> i can ping and do konq, but that's it
[03:44] <Hezkore> Nevermind i foudn it
[03:44] <enyc> tantris: try o few differnt distro versions if possible
[03:44] <mano> meng: aww. It's strange.
[03:44] <anto9us> dehvokahn, shift+pgup
[03:44] <VMT2007> guess I'll have to use the live CD...
[03:44] <mano> meng: I don't think I can help you more :-( sorry
[03:44] <mano> meng: maybe it's this quake thing?
[03:44] <lerneaen_hydra> enyc: oh, now that I look the filename of the rpm has i586 in it
[03:44] <KenSentMe> I'm running ntp with ntp.ubuntu.com on two different machines, but they both have a different system time ( 5 mins difference). How can that be?
[03:45] <dehvokahn> anto9us, I tried that....it's only taking me to the top of what I can also scroll with the sidebar
[03:45] <mano> meng: has it ever worked, BTW?
[03:45] <lerneaen_hydra> enyc: which is not my architechture, IIRC I'm running i686
[03:45] <enyc> lerneaen_hydra: that means it may need pentium or compatible
[03:45] <enyc> lerneaen_hydra: no that will be fine
[03:45] <lerneaen_hydra> are they backwards compatible?
[03:45] <lerneaen_hydra> oh, nice
[03:45] <enyc> lerneaen_hydra: it means it might not work on 486/386
[03:45] <Everflex> kane77: as it is now, i can mount hda3 with sudo mount /dev/hda3 /media/hda3, but i can't access it because it sais it it owned by root... I also would like to make it automount on startup, like the other disks do.
[03:45] <meng> mano> meng: maybe it's this quake thing? --> it happened way before the quake
[03:45] <lerneaen_hydra> enyc: oh, ok
[03:45] <mano> meng: oh, ok.
[03:45] <lerneaen_hydra> enyc: not much of an issue for me
[03:45] <enyc> lerneaen_hydra: because it may use pentium-specific instructions in the compiled binary
[03:45] <anto9us> dehvokahn, you need to increase scrollback in the terminal's profile
[03:45] <kane77> Everflex, ok.. I see...
[03:45] <lerneaen_hydra> enyc: exactly. is it easy to strip out the binary from the rpm?
[03:46] <meng> kinda started when i flashed the router with malaysian firmware
[03:46] <enyc> lerneaen_hydra: im sure what you are asking can be made to work but id need to  try it myself to find out
[03:46] <enyc> lerneaen_hydra: you should be able to
[03:46] <enyc> lerneaen_hydra: maybe you can use 'cpio' no unpack it
[03:46] <izprince> the i386 version was unstable as all hell on this system
[03:46] <mano> meng: aww, that sounds bad
[03:46] <barata> hallo, anybody has problem with VLC after upgrading Dapper?
[03:46] <enyc> lerneaen_hydra: im sure its do-able.. i just havent done rpm stuff for aaaages
[03:46] <dehvokahn> anto9us, excellent - thank you :)
[03:46] <meng> so after that, even after swapping with my other spare modem, i cannot get through, static ip or otherwise
[03:46] <lerneaen_hydra> enyc: hmm, ok. you don't feel you need a graphical md5/sfv app? ;)
[03:46] <enyc> lerneaen_hydra: a what?
[03:47] <izprince> it would work for a while, then programs would start crashing randomly, then the whole system would lock up, and do it again on next reboot
[03:47] <enyc> lerneaen_hydra: err "md5sum" ? ;-)
[03:47] <Arcad3> can someone make a short how to...

[03:59] <mano> meng: maybe stg is different. Baffled, I am.
 meng: only thing I can think of, try a traceroute to an IP you can ping in windows but you can't in linux --> i can ping in both

[04:06] <IdleOne> BlondieNL, did you enable universe and multiverse?
[04:06] <balutix> kay i guess you didnt see what i pasted.. anyways i get up "Requested package is not supported" and im really not sure why it isnt when i've edited them files that i was supposed to edit
[04:06] <kane77> Hezkore, you mean task viewer??
[04:06] <Hezkore> Yeah
[04:06] <BlondieNL> ildeOne: i dont think so..
[04:06] <stefg> balutix: sry, but i use nvidia, so i don't have more input for you

[04:07] <IdleOne> BlondieNL, follow that link ubotu  just gave you to enable universe and multiverse then try installing par2
[04:07] <BlondieNL> oke il give it a go
[04:07] <IdleOne> BlondieNL, you will probably want to install build-essential also
[04:08] <Everflex> kane77: ehh, how do i unmount hda3? it sais unmount is not a command
[04:08] <anto9us> Everflex, it's umount
[04:08] <kane77> Everflex, its spelled umount (without ')
[04:09] <Hezkore> Erm hey... does anyone know if it's easy to configure the G7 in Linux? :S
[04:09] <balutix> ah. here is the copy thingy.. i've used the guide for binary drivers on the ubuntu site and this is the commando i execute and what i recive "http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39474/"
[04:09] <pedro> Hi all
[04:09] <stefg> unix' biggest mistake.... not calling it unmount (some people say)
[04:10] <pedro> a easy and porbably stupid question.
[04:10] <Maheanuu> I have been trying to set up a raid5 array right from the start, and am beginning to believe that I should remove the raid set up in bios and then install Ubuntu and configure the software raid from the kernal and not from the bios, is this correct?
[04:10] <pedro> i had installed mediawiki via synaptic
[04:10] <GreyGhost> !ask | pedro
[04:10] <ubotu> pedro: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:10] <skukza> i would appear that ive some how botched language support all the text in thunar comes up as boxes
[04:10] <pedro> ant i configure with in localhost/mediawiki
[04:11] <pedro> but the folder is not in the www ?
[04:11] <BlondieNL> ildeOne: i just modified it by source-o-matic... and rerun the apt-get install.. but still didnt found it more or less...
[04:11] <dan__> Maheanuu: sounds right unless you have hardware raid
[04:11] <pedro> where is the folder ?
[04:11] <stefg> Maheanuu: That depends on the if mdadm and the fakeraid controller use compatible formats... the partion ID for soft-raid and fake-raid is different e.g.
[04:11] <Maheanuu> is there anyway to
[04:11] <Maheanuu> damn....  fingers just got washed and now I can't do anything with them'
[04:12] <Everflex> kane77: i edited fstab and used urs, except that i used the original UUID. then when i run 'sudo mount -a' it says this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39475/
[04:12] <pedro> now when i type localhost/mediawiki he said :
[04:12] <Maheanuu> dan, then all my probs today are being caused by the bios setting of the software raid and not the linux
[04:12] <pedro> "To complete the installation, move config/LocalSettings.php to the parent directory."
[04:12] <pedro> but i dont find the parent diractory
[04:13] <pedro> ??
[04:13] <pedro> any idea?
[04:13] <stefg> Maheanuu: are you aware on the difference of fakeraid and softraid?
[04:13] <Maheanuu> No, I am not, and would like to discuss this but trying to keep up on this page is a real problem
[04:14] <nova_2> lol
[04:14] <BlondieNL> ildeOne: i just modified it by source-o-matic... and rerun the apt-get install.. but still didnt found it more or less...
[04:14] <IdleOne> how well does ubuntu handle 250gb drives? will it see it all and use it accordingly? ( had an issue couple years back with a Mandrake install and dont want it to happen again )
[04:14] <Maheanuu> stefg, is there anyway to open another window in here where we could talk without loosing track of our conversation?
[04:15] <Everflex> Maheanuu: /msg <user>
[04:15] <Maheanuu> By the time I get done typing, the comments line has moved way off screen
[04:15] <Everflex> Maheanuu: /msg <user> <message>
[04:16] <IdleOne> BlondieNL, do apt-cache search par2 and see if it finds it if not you didnt  enable universe and multiverse properly....try sudo apt-get update first then search for par2
[04:17] <stefg> Maheanuu: I dont think, i can fix your problem from here. But AFAIK the consquence of having the RAID created with the fakeraid -*hardware* controller makes it inaccesible to softraid with mdadm.
[04:17] <BlondieNL> ildeone: it finds it
[04:17] <BlondieNL> par2 - Parity Archive Volume Set, for checking and repair of files
[04:18] <IdleOne> BlondieNL, ok sudo apt-get install par2
[04:18] <BlondieNL> hmm now its installing...
[04:18] <BlondieNL> how is that possible?
[04:19] <IndyGunFreak> BlondieNL, maybe you done it wrong the first time?
[04:19] <IdleOne> BlondieNL, it'sd a good idea to run apt-get update after enabling universe so you might want to do that soon
[04:19] <lars__> hi. i have problems to get a wireless usb stick to work.
[04:19] <Maheanuu> If I go into bios, I should be able to stop the raid setup there and then I will just have the 5 drives totally available, then after I do my install of Ubuntu, I should be able to setup mdadm and see all the drives and set up the raid5 array similar to how I would set them up undr windoze???
[04:19] <BlondieNL> no i just checked what i typed in earlier and thats the same.. hmm :S
[04:19] <BlondieNL> ah well it did it work now :)
[04:19] <lars__> its a dlink dwl-122 revC
[04:20] <siv0x> How can i get to my system sources?
[04:20] <lars__> i added rt2570 and rt2x00 modules but network-manager-gnome still list the device as unkown.
[04:20] <m12> how do you make a file 'hidden' without changing the name?
[04:20] <stefg> Maheanuu: are yu tgrying to /create/ a raid, or are you trying to mount an existing array?
[04:21] <kingace> is google down for anyone else?
[04:21] <IndyGunFreak> kingace, works fine for me
[04:21] <kingace> damn you comcast
[04:21] <Maheanuu> stefg, I was trying to create an array, I would like to explain all but this page is going too fast for me to keep up
[04:22] <ezenu> Isn't there something I can install so I can have man pages for C/C++ library functions, like std::string, printf, etc? I forgot the name of the package
[04:22] <Maheanuu> I am a newbie in Linux, but I am surely not a quitter, the amount of expertise gained in anything is equal to the cube of the equipment destroyed (old navy addage)
[04:23] <Turophile> Hey Ubuntu folks, I heard tell these's a laptop a bunch of you all seem to run (the developers)... don't suppose anyone knows the model?  (looking at a laptop)
[04:23] <kingace> why would gparted be unable to set a new disklabel on a disk?
[04:23] <stefg> Maheanuu: then proceed like you said: switch the fakeraid off in Bios and have all partitions separate. then create the (soft) array like explained in the documentation
[04:23] <diskus> Turophile: model?
[04:23] <lilly> how do i prevent my laptop from going into suspend mode? it always lock me out after going into suspense
[04:23] <Turophile> diskus: Not sure tbh :)
[04:23] <diskus> Turophile: I have hp zv6158, runs fine
[04:23] <IndyGunFreak> Turophile, just because it works one laptop, doesn't mean it would work "out of the box" for you
[04:23] <IndyGunFreak> any laptop will work
[04:23] <Turophile> IndyGunFreak: I run Gentoo usually :)
[04:23] <lilly> works fine on my vaio sz38
[04:23] <Turophile> There is no "out of the box"
[04:23] <diskus> hp usualy has generic hardware in laptops
[04:24] <Turophile> It's "6 weeks of compiling later"
[04:24] <IndyGunFreak> well, then why are you asking here?
[04:24] <Turophile> Apparently a bunch of devs run similar laptops from Ubuntu
[04:24] <lilly> how do i prevent my laptop from going into suspend mode? it always lock me out after going into suspense
[04:24] <Turophile> Sorry, it's 2:30[am] , that wording was terrible.
[04:24] <IndyGunFreak> i've got a new to me laptop coming in a few days,
[04:24] <IndyGunFreak> i plan to hook it up wirelessly, install Xubuntu 6.10
[04:25] <Turophile> mmm
[04:26] <ezenu> isn't there some package, e.g., a deb to be apt-getted, that has man pages for things like std::string, printf, etc?
[04:26] <kingace> is there a terminal option to just format a disk completely?
[04:27] <stefg> kingace: man mkfs
[04:27] <balutix> what does "sudo ln -sf bash /bin/sh" mean. what is that commando supposed too do?
[04:27] <elkbuntu> Turophile, IBM Thinkpad, i believe is what you're after
[04:27] <siv0x> Can anyone tell me the cmd to edit sourcelist in konsole?
[04:27] <IndyGunFreak> i think i just used diskpartitioner to format my USB drive so i could use it.
[04:28] <Turophile> elkbuntu: That's what I thought.
[04:28] <Turophile> Ta :)
[04:28] <mike> Hi Ubuntusers
[04:28] <jim__> hi mike
[04:28] <Turophile> Anyway, I'm off to bed now, ta guys :)
[04:29] <kingace> stefg: thanks. it wont ever format the partition im in right now right?
[04:29] <kingace> stefg: as in, the ubunut partition
[04:29] <mike> here i am...a newbie just installing latest ubuntu
[04:29] <mike> anyone can help me please? its about installing a webcam with amsn
[04:30] <IdleOne> !hi | mike
[04:30] <ubotu> mike: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[04:30] <stefg> kingace: you could theoretically, but mkfs will refuse to work on a mounted fs... which / is, for sure
[04:30] <balutix> what does "sudo ln -sf bash /bin/sh" mean. what is that commando supposed too do?
[04:30] <mike> thanks Idleone and ubotu
[04:30] <kingace> stefg: thanks
[04:30] <IndyGunFreak> mike, i've read other people having trouble setting that up, but I've never done it, sorry i can't help
[04:31] <mike> i believe i got the right "programs" to get my webcam working. The only problem is that I don't know how to install them
[04:32] <IndyGunFreak> is the program in the repositories?
[04:32] <mike> its very basic i know
[04:32] <kingace> ok, i just formatted an entire hard disk sucessfully using mkfs, but in gparted it still gives me an error when i try to partition
[04:32] <kingace> it says that it cannot set a disklabel
[04:32] <mike> no...i downloaded in my desktop Indy
[04:32] <Everflex> damn, isn't it possible to just autoconfigure fstab somehow? like when Ubuntu is installed, it is autoconfigured accordingly to the harddrived and all.,.,.,
[04:32] <clop> hi, i just got a new keyboard which has lots of extra buttons ("stop", "play", "pause", etc.)  is there a way to hook these buttons up to commands?
[04:32] <IndyGunFreak> did you try searching the repositories, to see if its there?
[04:33] <KaLimeRo-> hello
[04:33] <mike> they are not there Indy....i'm talking about spcagui20060127

[04:35] <IndyGunFreak> KaLimeRo-, is it a Windows partition, you probably need to install Fat32 support
[04:35] <DarkLinux> so whats in it
[04:35] <DarkLinux> the files and stuf
[04:35] <KaLimeRo-> and how i do that ?
[04:35] <IdleOne> !webcam | mike

[04:35] <mike> i'll try that ubotu and come back
[04:35] <KaLimeRo-> IndyGunFreak and how i do that ?
[04:35] <DarkLinux> true ubotu
[04:36] <IndyGunFreak> KaLimeRo-, im nt a 100% sure, i'm looking.
[04:36] <KaLimeRo-> ok 10x ...
[04:36] <IndyGunFreak> I think XP formats in Fat32, i can't remember, maybe it uses NTFS
[04:36] <Cypher> darklinux: hi
[04:36] <Cypher> darklinux> hi
[04:36] <KaLimeRo-> its NTFS
[04:36] <IdleOne> mike, ubotu is a bot has loads of helpful info you can access it by typing /msg ubotu search-term i.e. /msg ubotu webcam
[04:36] <Cypher> hi darklinux
[04:37] <IndyGunFreak> KaLimeRo-, try this link, and reference section 1.15   http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Edgy
[04:37] <IndyGunFreak> KaLimeRo-, you are using Edgy, right?
[04:37] <KaLimeRo-> i think so .. egdy its 6.10 ?

[04:40] <ubotu> tony_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:40] <sjogren> IndyGunFreak: he just did ask :P
[04:40] <HeathenDan> can windows recognize and access a vfat partition created by gparted?
[04:40] <apokryphos> sjoerd: nope, he didn't.
[04:40] <IndyGunFreak> i didn't see it...lol, so ask again..lol
[04:40] <tony_> lol ubotu... usually I have to see if someone's paying attention first, otherwise I'll just ask and nobody will respond
[04:40] <Klotzki> how can i "apt-cdrom add" a remote dvd, i don't find the mountpoint??
[04:40] <tony_> anyways I'm having the problem described here: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/control-center/+bug/61381

[04:41] <IndyGunFreak> i hate error mesages.
[04:41] <Klotzki> nautilus already recognizes the remote dvd (windows-smb-share)
[04:41] <tony_> when I login, I get my background color for a long time, and a little window that eventually says "GNOME Settings Daemon couldn't start."

[04:42] <balutix> i think so yeah
[04:42] <tony_> it just did it today... only abnormal thing I did last night was that Firefox was in the middle of downloading something when I pressed "Shut Down"
[04:43] <tony_> but I've rebooted since and same problem
[04:43] <IndyGunFreak> hmm, i have no idea, doesn't make sense that would cause this.
[04:43] <s_spiff> any1 here has any exprience in editing the fstab?
[04:43] <tony_> I've tried removing IPv6 support from /etc/network/interfaces and turning of ESD, which were suggested in the link I sent
[04:43] <IndyGunFreak> install any new packages, programs, etc?
[04:43] <balutix> where do i check if i have that enabled or not?

[04:44] <IndyGunFreak> man, has anyone looked at #Fedora, that place is less exciting than a funeral
[04:45] <mrChuck> hi, everyone
[04:45] <tony_> so I googled it and apparently there's LOTS of people having this problem for various different reasons
[04:45] <ewook> Looked at it as much as on the distro ;P
[04:45] <frandavid100> hi
[04:45] <Klotzki> ubotu: aptget howto does not mention apt-cdrom
[04:45] <tony_> hi mrChuck
[04:45] <stefg> Klotzki: so man apt or Google
[04:46] <frandavid100> Ubuntu is not mounting my SD cards, any help on how I could solve it?
[04:47] <tony_> someone on another page in the ubuntu forums said this problem is caused by GConf not shutting down cleanly
[04:47] <Klotzki> stefg: i already did, i'm familiar with apt-cdrom, i only need to know _where_ nautilus mounts smb-shares
[04:47] <balutix> mkay i have that site up now. but what do i do with it?
[04:47] <tony_> how would I go about diagnosing/fixing that if that's the case?
[04:47] <IndyGunFreak> tony_, just do what the rest of us do when we have a problem, back up and reinstall..lol
[04:47] <GreyGhost> tony_ ,did u remove any gnome utils?
[04:47] <balutix> do i write "deb http://no.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy main restricted " in the terminal or what?
[04:47] <IndyGunFreak> some switch distros in the process.
[04:47] <tony_> yeah LOL M$ has trained us all well, haven't they?
[04:48] <tony_> no GreyGhost
[04:48] <stefg> Klotzki: ah... Nautilus doesn't mount samba-shares, you need smbfs or fusesmb for that
[04:48] <IndyGunFreak> tony_, well you had to do something
[04:48] <tony_> is there a way to repair the filesystem while keeping all my settings/etc?
[04:48] <GreyGhost>  tony_ ,try installing gnome control centre ...
[04:48] <IndyGunFreak> just shutting down during a download wouldn't cause this.
[04:48] <siv0x> Can anyone in here tell me how to update my java to 1.5+ ?
[04:48] <tony_> ok GreyGhost
[04:49] <IndyGunFreak> GreyGhost, thats a good idea
[04:49] <balutix> stefg: do i write "deb http://no.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy main restricted " in the terminal or what?
[04:49] <tony_> oh, I noticed one more symptom...
[04:49] <GreyGhost> !gnome-control-centre
[04:49] <IndyGunFreak> or maybe try to install the Xubuntu Desktop beside Gnome, and see if you still get the error when you boot XFCE
[04:49] <siv0x> !java
[04:49] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository

[04:49] <IndyGunFreak> hmmm
[04:50] <indianaj> I need help: when i turn on, it says something like 'you have to add -name_I_gave_to_my_pc- to /etc/hosts'. i tried with VI, but it still doesn't work. what's the sintax? can you help?

[04:50] <khermans> my /var/lib is taking up 9 GB, how can i clean it up?
[04:50] <stefg> balutix: let go of the command line for a bit... check in your menu, there's a GUI applet for selecting software sources in gnome
[04:50] <Maheanuu> OK, I have disconnected all my drives other than the install one that I am putting Ubuntu on..  It is a 400gig seagate sata II the other 5 are 320 gig maxtors sata II also I am loading 6.06.1 on the seagate as I am typing
[04:50] <GreyGhost> tony_ ,yep ... i suggest this off .... http://gnomesupport.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=454
[04:50] <IndyGunFreak> tony_, probably, i think thast what he as suggesting.
[04:50] <Klotzki> stefg: pity, thanks so far
[04:50] <hkq35> how can I unsubscribe myself from fileroller/bugzilla/ emails
[04:51] <LameBMX> Maheanuu, dang man .. lots o space there
[04:51] <tony_> k
[04:51] <IndyGunFreak> tony_,  then after it installs, restart and see what happens
[04:51] <GreyGhost>  tony_ ,never had the problem myself ... but if it fixed the problem for others maybe it will for u too...
[04:51] <tony_> k
[04:51] <KaLimeRo-> IndyGunFreak i dont really understant what they tell me on the web
[04:51] <IndyGunFreak> GreyGhost, or maybe his computer will start to smoke and catch fire
[04:51] <Maheanuu> I am trying to build up a audio/video/photo wurk station
[04:51] <IndyGunFreak> KaLimeRo-, its pretty clear instructions
[04:51] <tony_> ok wish me luck guys... see you in about 15 minutes if it doesn't work LOL
[04:51] <GreyGhost> IndyGunFreak , lol ;)
[04:52] <marco10122002> hallo
[04:52] <KaLimeRo-> i did it but its tell me somthing missing
[04:52] <LameBMX> Maheanuu, might i suggest lookin into raid0 ... no data integrity but with that many drives a couple raid-o's to process between will reall speed up video work
[04:52] <IndyGunFreak> then install whats missing.
[04:52] <IndyGunFreak> problem solved..lol
[04:52] <IndyGunFreak> like i said, i'm not super familiar with the process,
[04:52] <cryoedge> I just started using ubuntu linux and I need to install fonts (including ttf), can anyone help me with this. I don't know how  to do it. tia
[04:52] <Maheanuu> What I want to do is run the 5 320's as a raid5 array for storage and safety....  I will prolly leave the seagate as the platform
[04:52] <IndyGunFreak> i just format all my drives in ext3 and Linux reads them fine
[04:53] <freeeeeez> alright i got one more question.. how can i mount an fat32 drive for read support.. i dont have to have write
[04:53] <freeeeeez> i followed some directions on the net
[04:53] <balutix> stefg: mkay found it. all the boxes on the first page there is enabled

[04:53] <IndyGunFreak> KaLimeRo-, try that link just posted by ubotu
[04:53] <freeeeeez> ok
[04:54] <stefg> balutix: ok, good. So the installer is dependant on a package which isn't in the repositories..
[04:54] <LameBMX> Maheanuu, never played with raid5 but havent heard of anything that touches raid0 throughput ... just my 2 cents though
[04:54] <IndyGunFreak> hey, does anyone know how i can make it so when i click a link in X-chat, it opens in a tab in Firefox, as opposed to opening up Konq(which reminds me of KDE, which makes my retinas burn)
[04:54] <stefg> balutix: installing build-essential wouldn't hurt, maybe
[04:55] <IndyGunFreak> firefox is seet as my default browser
[04:55] <lerneaen_hydra> Maheanuu: what type of video work are you going to be doing?
[04:55] <Mez> IndyGunFreak - theres an option somewhere to choose the browser
[04:55] <christy> hi im trying to get my joystick working in epsxe... when i plug it in i see "input: USB HID v1.00 Gamepad [Mega World USB Game Pad    ]  on usb-0000:00:13.1-2" in /var/log/messages .. is there something else i need to do?
[04:55] <GreyGhost> freeeeeez .umm... i don't thin it has what ur loooking for ...
[04:55] <Mez> indy - in xchat itself

[04:56] <freeeeeez> its on hdb5
[04:56] <LameBMX> lilly ... i dont know an exact setting to fix it ... but dont ever use your scroll wheel in beryl-manager ... it changes too many settings
[04:56] <marco10122002> huhu
[04:56] <LameBMX> lol
[04:56] <lerneaen_hydra> lilly: try turning off blur too, if it's on
[04:56] <lilly> lerneaen_hydra: im not sure about vram.. its a nvidia 7400go and i have 2 open windows
[04:56] <Mez> ah - IndyGunFreak - quote from xchat FAQ
[04:56] <Mez> In Gnome, your preferred browser can be changed in System > Preferences > More Preferences > Preferred Applications. If you're not using Gnome, e.g KDE or some other desktop environment, you're fresh out of luck!

[04:57] <LameBMX> lilly could the windows be not responding ... its a feature of beryl to darken them (a lot)
[04:57] <IndyGunFreak> Mez,  Firefox is set as my default browser there
[04:57] <lerneaen_hydra> lilly, ask over in #ubuntu-xgl
[04:57] <IndyGunFreak> everything else i choose a link in, opens Firefox, except X-chat
[04:57] <GreyGhost> freeeeeez ,u mean to say that u want to remove write support right?
[04:57] <Mez> IndyGunFreak .... you're using KDE or gnome ?
[04:57] <IndyGunFreak> X-chat opens Konq for some reason
[04:57] <lilly> LameBMX: its not the usual darkening.. its 100% black
[04:57] <IndyGunFreak> Gnome
[04:57] <LameBMX> k
[04:57] <freeeeeez> no i just want to mount the disk
[04:57] <freeeeeez> i cant see
[04:57] <freeeeeez> it
[04:57] <balutix> hmm... that didnt seem like how to install the driver
[04:57] <freeeeeez> i edited my fstab and everything
[04:57] <freeeeeez> still nothing
[04:57] <Mez> IndyGunFreak - very weird... sudo apt-get remove kdebase ? :P
[04:57] <stefg> balutix: got that? !software is for you

[04:58] <freeeeeez> i typed this into my fstab /dev/hdb5 /media/windows vfat iocharset=utf8,umask=000 0 0
[04:58] <freeeeeez> should i remove it?
[04:58] <tony_> hey guys just wanted you to know it worked in case anybody else comes on here with the same problem
[04:58] <balutix> ah.. there it is.. software management
[04:58] <IndyGunFreak> tony_, good....
[04:58] <tony_> keep it real, folks
[04:58] <IndyGunFreak> i kept that link just in case.
[04:59] <tony_> and thanks for the help
[04:59] <GreyGhost> hehe ... google is ur friend  tony_
[04:59] <freeeeeez> should i remove that or not?
[04:59] <freeeeeez> what i typed in fstab
[04:59] <freeeeeez> before i go ahead with these instructions
[05:00] <batch> ?
[05:00] <batch> why do you want to remove it
[05:00] <batch> you mounted your win32 partition
[05:00] <freeeeeez> because it didn't work
[05:00] <freeeeeez> it didn't show up in media/windows
[05:00] <freeeeeez> nothing happened
[05:00] <freeeeeez> so its not mounted

[05:01] <stefg> ewook: depends on the stability of your network
[05:01] <freeeeeez> ok thanks
[05:01] <IndyGunFreak> i didnt' realize nearly every distro has a room on freenode.
[05:01] <ezman> Having problems getting into the forum am I bannded ???
[05:01] <GreyGhost> bbl ... cya all...
[05:01] <freeeeeez> im just gonna delete what i typed in fstab
[05:02] <ewook> stefg, I know :) it might be up on boot,
[05:02] <ewook> but, I've noticed that if connection is dropped, umounting it can be a bit tricky.
[05:02] <freeeeeez> oh and do i have to reboot the pc to make it mount?
[05:02] <stefg> ewook: i finally chose fusesmb
[05:02] <ewook> mount -a, is it not?
[05:03] <ezman> I can go anywhere else on the site but, not in a forum.

[05:04] <ewook> thanks stefg for the tip!
[05:04] <unimatrix9> WGA? on ubuntu...LOL
[05:04] <Everflex> god dammit, editing /etc/fstab by hand is a pain in the hand!
[05:04] <Pan7h3r> .restart
[05:04] <Pan7h3r> hmm
[05:04] <IndyGunFreak> no, WPA-PSK, or whatever ti is.

[05:04] <IndyGunFreak> relax dude
[05:05] <unimatrix9> depends on your wireless card,
[05:05] <IndyGunFreak> oh does it?
[05:05] <IndyGunFreak> i figured setting it up was fairly universal
[05:06] <Everflex> stefg: :P hehe :D
[05:06] <ezman> is the forum Down ???
[05:06] <IndyGunFreak> what are the security protocols again for Wireless, WEP, WPA, and WPA-PSK, right?
[05:06] <IndyGunFreak> i'm not getting wireless till next week(first experience), so i got a lot of time to ask stupid questions.
[05:06] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[05:06] <Maheanuu> stefg, I am in the middle of the setup of Dapper alternate and everything looks really good so far
[05:07] <ezman> is the forum Down ???
[05:07] <ewook> ezman, what forum?
[05:07] <IndyGunFreak> ezman, the forum
[05:07] <IndyGunFreak> ?
[05:08] <ezman> The help forum
[05:08] <IndyGunFreak> what help forum
[05:08] <IndyGunFreak> there's a dozen
[05:08] <Maheanuu> am using a 400gig seagate as the primary disk at present, and will try to set up the other five maxtors as the raid array after I get on line in a few minutes.. I will also try to get back in here from that machine as soon as I install the IRC
[05:08] <ezman> ubuntu
[05:08] <IndyGunFreak> ubuntuforums.org seems to be working fine, i'm there now.
[05:08] <ewook> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions ?
[05:09] <ezman> I cant get in it will not load
[05:09] <ewook> ezman, could you be a bit more precise on what forum you're talking about?
[05:09] <ezman> am I banded from the forum
[05:09] <ewook> ezman, provide me with a link to this forum you're talking about...
[05:09] <Maheanuu> which forum ezman??
[05:09] <smithveg> who use sound recorder in ubunbtu before?
[05:10] <ezman> I would if I could
[05:10] <ezman> ubuntuforums.org
[05:10] <ewook> Now I don't follow ya.
[05:10] <ewook> well, it's up
[05:10] <unimatrix9> for wireless, ubuntu does wpa , or wep, but it depends much on the card you use, oronico cards ( prism 1 -2 ) are doing well i think
[05:10] <smithveg> i seems cannot record the voice from a microphone, someone know how?
[05:11] <unimatrix9> so do the intersil chipsets
[05:11] <ezman> I made a post last night or real early this morning and since then cant get in....
[05:11] <IndyGunFreak> unimatrix9, so what card would you recommend to make WPA work well?
[05:11] <unimatrix9> but before you buy a card be sure to get lots of info and reading
[05:12] <ezman> GNOME/ GNOME Desktop
[05:12] <ewook> do a ping on ubuntuforums.org
[05:12] <unimatrix9> i dont have wpa, i got an wep card, so cant really give good advice on that
[05:12] <IndyGunFreak> unimatrix9, thats why i'm asking a week in advance...lol
[05:12] <ezman> Did I get someone wired up???
[05:12] <Maheanuu> stefg, can I chat with you for a few???
[05:12] <unimatrix9> any one got WPA on his wireless with ubuntu?
[05:12] <ewook> ezman, huh? how about just clensing your cookies n stuff and try again?
[05:12] <Zarephath> Can someone explain what I need to do to correct this? sudo apt-get update E: Lists directory /var/lib/apt/lists/partial is missing.
[05:13] <ezman> I was wanting to post it to tips and tricks just worded differently
[05:13] <ezman> I did that
[05:13] <ezman> nothing
[05:13] <unimatrix9> ps : your accespoint should do WPA too
[05:13] <ewook> ezman, well, if you can't reach the site, can you reach other sites?
[05:14] <ezman> yes, all sites
[05:14] <ezman> just no forums
[05:14] <ezman> from ubuntu
[05:14] <ewook> how about http://82.211.81.186
[05:14] <unimatrix9> here is some first reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo
[05:15] <lnknpk04> hey folks, I'm trying to set up my wireless.  I get as far as getting the driver file recognized and it says "driver installed, device found" when i do ndiswrapper -l, but when i try to scan for Ap's, i get this "Interface doesn't support scanning : No such device"
[05:15] <lnknpk04> any ideas?
[05:15] <Zarephath> unimatrix9: Most are outdated...
[05:15] <borg> is there a program that tells you how much memory bandwidth your system is using?
[05:15] <Zarephath> lnknpk04: Did you try making sure the wireless interface is up?
[05:16] <unimatrix9> this one might be better? http://jeffrasmussen.wordpress.com/2006/05/13/ubuntu-wpa-goodness/
[05:16] <lnknpk04> whats that command?  i'm pretty sure i know what you're talking about and i dont think it worked
[05:16] <ezman> nope

[05:28] <IndyGunFreak> i generally have gotten quicktime files to work with MPlayer, but ymmv
[05:28] <ezman> gnome
[05:28] <HeathenDan> Valmarko, xfce with xubuntu
[05:28] <IndyGunFreak> Addos2, technically, KDE caused me to have a brain tumor
[05:28] <HeathenDan> but im biased
[05:28] <IndyGunFreak> so i stick with Gnome or Xfce
[05:28] <saharaab> then i cant install Qt programs!!!!!
[05:28] <lnknpk04> lets try this again...
[05:29] <lnknpk04> can someone check this for me?  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39485/
[05:29] <ezman> read my post
[05:29] <lnknpk04> sorry for the earlier flood folks
[05:29] <saharaab> can i install amarok??
[05:29] <Addos2> whenever I mount NTFS manually I get this...
[05:29] <Addos2> dr-x------ 1 root   root   8192 2006-12-23 23:34 ntfs
[05:29] <HeathenDan> yes you can saharaab
[05:29] <Addos2> meaning most normal users can't get in the directory
[05:29] <ewook> ezman, there's no way I can find your post with just the info gnome.
[05:29] <seeds> hello
[05:30] <ezman> tab is gnome gnome desktop
[05:30] <seeds> i need a program to copy a video DVD to my computer
[05:30] <IndyGunFreak> i dont' care for amarok, thts just me though
[05:30] <saharaab> what's the path codecs in ubuntu is it /usr/lib/codecs ??
[05:30] <seeds> which one can i use?
[05:30] <saharaab> like SUSE
[05:30] <IndyGunFreak> Totem, Mplayer, etc, should all support Quicktime formats, provided the proper codecs are installed.
[05:30] <Valmarko> Well, i guess I'll stick with GNOME :)
[05:30] <HeathenDan> you can try using pmount Addos2. it doesnt need root access
[05:31] <ezman> ewook: Did you find it ???
[05:31] <saharaab> where can i install win codecs? path!!
[05:31] <ewook> ezman, in what part? new to ubuntu,  main support, other support?
[05:31] <ewook> no, I haven't ;)

[05:32] <Addos2> HeathenDan, does it change owner and group so that regular users can access it?

[05:32] <ezman> Desktop environment
[05:32] <saharaab> i have the tarball for wincodecs where to install??
[05:32] <Addos2> why is mount setting the owner and group to root, with only basic permssions, and not letting me chown, chgroup, and chmod?
[05:32] <IndyGunFreak> does anyone else think Ubuntu should drop the KDE interface?
[05:32] <jbroome> if you don't like it, don't load it
[05:32] <dv_> why should it?
[05:32] <Addos2> Ubuntu doesn't use KDE, KUbuntu does
[05:33] <saharaab> ???
[05:33] <ezman> no
[05:33] <dv_> simply dont install it
[05:33] <IndyGunFreak> Addos2, you know what i mean
[05:33] <ezman> it shouldnt drop
[05:33] <skarface> it's not even part of the default installation. you have to want it to get it. what's your point? next.
[05:33] <IndyGunFreak> dv_ i was just being facetious, relax

[05:38] <cld2> is it possible, once I get my mythtv box in a working state to change the repos to only get security and bug fix updates, kind of like a debian stable style thing?

[05:39] <unimatrix9> fm what does fstab say ( only the line of the device
[05:39] <lupine_85> more likely a permissions error
[05:40] <thoreauputic> cedric30: try turning firestarter off then to see if it is the culprit
[05:40] <lupine_85> fm: add uid=1000 to the options line in fstab

[05:41] <dignick> Hello everybody.  Quick question.  I'm considering building a network all-in-one device to be stashed away in a cold room to just do its job.  I'd like to use compact flash (ide to compact flash) as the system drive.  I've found a decent 2gb CF card at a reasonable price, so I need to know now if that much storage is enough.  Also, does anyone have any advice for/against using CF?
[05:41] <xgrazix> yes, its usb
[05:41] <unimatrix9> use digikam
[05:41] <saharaab> usr/lib/win32 not found!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[05:41] <unimatrix9> and add the camera ( if its detected )
[05:41] <fm> lupine_85: uid=1000 --> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,

[05:42] <seeds> please i need a program that would let me to copy a DVD movie to an iso file in my PC. What should i use??

[05:42] <LilEndian> got disconnected
[05:42] <ewook> seeds - checked the add/remove program-thingy?
[05:43] <cedric30> thoreauputic: the problem is that VM search a NAT network for vmnet8 and firestarter block it so it search again and block all my computer searching
[05:43] <ewook> it has a nifty search function
[05:43] <xgrazix> I will try it, please wait
[05:43] <fm> yeah rw did it, thx adaran_ !!
[05:43] <thoreauputic> borg: look at  free -m ( the second line is more relevant)
[05:43] <cedric30> thoreauputic: I thought put an IP fixe to Vmplayer to solve the problem, but I don't know if it's possible
[05:43] <ezman> Who is the administrator

[05:46] <borg> absolutely nothing about memory bandwidth
[05:46] <xgrazix> i used digikan, went to the camera menu and tell it to auto-detect my sony dsc-w30
[05:47] <dignick> ewook: plenty...I was considering 512...enough?
[05:47] <xgrazix> it recognized it as a " usb ptp class camera"

[05:47] <ewook> ezman, that nice.
[05:47] <ewook> that's nice even
[05:48] <borg> and i'm not talking about how many kilobytes the programs i'm running are using of my memory i'm talking about how much bandwidth of the system bus is being used
[05:48] <dignick> ewook: not much...used as file server, azureus maybe web hosting at some point
[05:48] <ezman> he was going to have to switch back

[05:50] <bds> or to write and close
[05:50] <bds> :wq!
[05:51] <ewook> seeds, pardon, think I missed the first part of the conversation ;P
[05:51] <seeds> oh

[05:51] <elvirolo> hi all
[05:51] <bds> hola
[05:51] <TooR4u> nalioth, can u plz tell me what kind of softwares i have to install??
[05:51] <seeds> i want a program to record a movie DVD to an iso file in my computer
[05:51] <dignick> I've come across firestarter, would that be any good?
[05:52] <nalioth> TooR4u: you install the software you need for your server
[05:52] <Maheanuu> are there any users from the pacific northwest in here at the moment?
[05:52] <ewook> seeds, aah! now, back on track :) search for DVD to begin with, then you should get a few hits - check what they do in the description
[05:52] <ezman> get me in and Ill post it.
[05:52] <ewook> TooR4u, that depends on what you wanna run on it
[05:53] <ewook> ezman, I can't really say that there's anything wrong with the site.
[05:53] <ewook> ezman, so my tip is that you get yourself in ;)
[05:53] <TooR4u> nalioth, ok.....I have no CD available now......
[05:53] <lnknpk04> worked like a charm, thx guys..now back to my wireless issue...
[05:53] <Maheanuu> ezman are you registered in the forum?
[05:53] <ezman> I can go to any site in ubuntu except for the forums
[05:53] <borg> thoreauputic, oh sorry i didnt see what you said about free -m, actually i didnt think when you guys said "free" that it was actually a command i thought you were talking about linux and open source, heh... anyway is the "buffer" part the part that tells me my bandwidth?
[05:53] <elvirolo> i'm planning to install ubuntu on a friend's old pc (128 M ram, 400 mhz CPU) ; he needs proprietary  codecs (MP3, etc.) but the computer doesn't have an internet connection, so i'll have to add all the packages on a usb key ... what do you recomment ? Linux mint ? Xubuntu ?
[05:53] <TooR4u> nalioth, i have to download the server package...?
[05:54] <ezman> yes, Im registered
[05:54] <TooR4u> can u tell me the cmd prompt for that
[05:54] <TooR4u> ?
[05:54] <jejh> ello, im making a ubuntu fileserver and i got a 120gb partition with ntfs, should i stick with ntfs or make it ext3?
[05:54] <wheels3572> Can someone help me with an ongoing problem im having.  It's increasingly geting alot better but still having issues with Sound.
[05:54] <ezman> EZ-man
[05:54] <nalioth> TooR4u: no, all the server packages are available in the repos
[05:54] <mseney> anyone here using serpentine successfully on edgy? write to disc button does nothing for me
[05:54] <ewook> TooR4u, exactly what are you looking for with the server version that cannot be done with the desktop version?
[05:54] <dignick> ewook or anyone else: Using this machine as a gateway and firewall, any advice?  I've come across firestarter before...
[05:54] <thoreauputic> borg: To be honest I don't quite understand what you mean by bandwidth - the seconf line shows buffers + cache IIRC
[05:55] <ezman> Maheanuu: look me up and email me.
[05:55] <thoreauputic> *second
[05:55] <Maheanuu> I would fire off an email to the powers that be in the Ubuntu site and explain to them your prob's and you should get an answer shortly
[05:55] <wheels3572> If your here crimsun I want to thank you for all your help lastnight it was greatly appreciated
[05:55] <ewook> dignick, ya, sound like a good idea, but then I would drop the idea with fileserver.
[05:55] <dignick> why?
[05:55] <ezman> I did to there welcome letter I wrote back.
[05:55] <borg> thoreauputic, bandwidth the rate at which the data is being transfered from the CPU to the RAM modules, ie, the System Bus's current bandwidth
[05:56] <thoreauputic> borg: ah OK - sory I don't know the answer to that one then
[05:56] <ewook> dignick, just a personal belief there. but, regarding router/gateway funtionallity, I'd recommend ipcop (a distro)
[05:56] <wheels3572> As for my issue.  I cant play any music or hear gaim sign on or off or anything like that.  But if I goto do the test.  I hear the sound tests just fine.  ANY idea what is up.  I have tried 3 differeint media players with ALL the same Results.  NO sound.
[05:56] <ewook> wheels3572, does the test-thingy and your applications use the same sound-system?
[05:56] <borg> :(
[05:57] <Maheanuu> wheels is your mb configured correctly, do you have a seperate sound card?
[05:57] <regeya> fun for the morning:  taking a pretty standard install, trying to move over to a drive that's 2.5x the storage space, want to put boot into separate partition and root managed via lvm.  much "fun" ensuing.
[05:57] <TooR4u> ewook, i am trying to install ubuntu server on my system
[05:57] <wheels3572> ewook, I have no idea what my media players are using for sound honestly ewook how would I find that out
[05:58] <lnknpk04> having wireless problems w/ ndiswrapper.  tried to do an ifup and this is what i got.  an someone check this for me?  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39485/
[05:58] <Spyder_uk> hi guys, does anyone have a problem with programs starting minimized and wont maximize? I think it has something to do with beryl
[05:58] <wheels3572> oooops
[05:58] <wheels3572> sorry if that spammed
[05:58] <ewook> TooR4u, ubuntu server 6.10 is a standalone distro - delivered without any graphical interface
[05:58] <ewook> TooR4u, so, your current setup is what?
[05:58] <michal_> join #skoczow
[05:58] <DreamDring> hi !
[05:58] <Kool-Aid> Hi
[05:58] <ewook> TooR4u, and what are you searching for?
[05:58] <TooR4u> ubuntu 6.10
[05:58] <Calandrino> hello
[05:58] <ewook> michal_, why?
[05:58] <Kool-Aid> Please join #freenode-newyears
[05:58] <Kool-Aid> =D
[05:58] <dignick> ewook: I've looked at ipcop.  It just seemed a bit beyond me...I am pretty new to linux but this idea has got me excited, I just hope the whole thing isn't beyond me!
[05:59] <wheels3572> Maheanuu, my motherboard is fine.  I have onboard sound shutoff and disabled in the bios.  Yes I have a sound blaster Audigy SE
[05:59] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: first step - try "killall esd" in a terminal ( often you have extra esd instances making a mess of sound - always worth a try)
[05:59] <regeya> ok, so this leads to the question:  if I try to move to a new drive and want my root (/) to be on an lvm volume, do I need to build a new initrd somehow?  also what's up with the uuids in /etc/fstab on edgy... :-}
[05:59] <ewook> TooR4u, well, what are is it you wanna accomplish ?
[05:59] <TooR4u> ewook, sorry i have no idea how to start the server .... thatswhy i am trying to install the server
[05:59] <ewook> dignick, oh, belive me - it isn't :)
[05:59] <irc> .
[05:59] <ewook> TooR4u, once again... WHAT server?
[06:00] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, is that killall esd or killall -9 esd?
[06:00] <ewook> webserver / ftpserver / etc
[06:00] <Fo1> .
[06:00] <TooR4u> ewook, any kind ....
[06:00] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: killall esd should be enough
[06:00] <TooR4u> webserver
[06:00] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: then restart your apps of course
[06:00] <TooR4u> ewook, can i im u?
[06:00] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, no process killed
[06:00] <jejh> ello, im making a ubuntu fileserver and i got a 120gb partition with ntfs, should i stick with ntfs or make it ext3?
[06:00] <ewook> TooR4u, well, for a webserver, just get the LAMP-package
[06:01] <miguel> hola
[06:01] <czedlitz> jejh, you have anything on it already ?
[06:01] <ewook> that's perl,apache,php and mysql
[06:01] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: OK that wasn't it then :) Have you checked alsamixer for muted channels?
[06:01] <TooR4u> ewook, for ftp server...?
[06:01] <czedlitz> jejh, or you starting with a clean 120 ?
[06:01] <jejh> czedlitz: yea filled with movies
[06:01] <lnknpk04> having wireless problems w/ ndiswrapper.  tried to do an ifup and this is what i got.  an someone check this for me?  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39485/
[06:01] <bds> does ubuntu use alsa?
[06:01] <ewook> there's plenty of different ftp-servers.
[06:01] <thoreauputic> bds: yes
[06:01] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, no
[06:01] <czedlitz> jejh, might want to get them off first, otherwise you will lose them, but i would go with ext3 personally
[06:01] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, alsamixergui and Gnome Alsa Mixer
[06:01] <ewook> I suggest you use the other - add/remove and search :)
[06:01] <bds> thoreauputic: shouldn't aslamixer work?
[06:01] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: have a look at alsamixer then - often one of the channels is on "m"
[06:02] <bds> heh
[06:02] <lupine_85> question - I think that 'mv' only deletes the source dir once it's completed copying it to the dest. Is that right?
[06:02] <thoreauputic> bds: umm? Yes it "works" - what do you mean?
[06:02] <Anon4160> Hello
[06:02] <magicfinger> hello all
[06:02] <magicfinger> stefg are you there
[06:02] <TooR4u> ewook, yaa i have installed Apache & Mysql & php ..... when ever i tried to open the *.php files then the prompt is download  prompt is comming
[06:02] <ewook> dignick, I don't think ipcop is beyond anyone.
[06:02] <TooR4u> what i have to do>
[06:02] <Anon4160> i have a doubt related with proftpd
[06:02] <thoreauputic> lupine_85: afaik mv just unlinks and relinks
[06:03] <bds> I am new to Ubunta from
[06:03] <Enselic``> is there a quick way to find out the nbr of files on your computer?
[06:03] <bds> Slackware
[06:03] <lupine_85> thoreauputic: I can't see that working when it's going across physical volumes
[06:03] <TooR4u> ewook, actually my problem is this
[06:03] <DreamDring> i encounter some problems trying to create an "alias" to a manual java installation. i explain my problem : i'm trying to do it using "update-alternatives --set java /usr/bin/jre" /usr/bin/jre is a "valid" link i created. but update-alternatives return this error : "update-alternatives: Cannot find alternative `/usr/bin/jre'." Does anyone know what's happen ?
[06:03] <bds> and alsamixer is where I usually look for things
[06:03] <DreamDring> pls
[06:03] <Enselic``> bds: first step, learn how to spell Ubuntu    ;)
[06:03] <daedra> HOW DO YOU TURN OFF THE STUPID LIGHTBULB IN OO.o
[06:03] <TooR4u> ewook, i have placed my *.php files in /var/ww/
[06:03] <thoreauputic> lupine_85: ah different case, yes - I don't know then
[06:03] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, grayed out or white.  Which is muted
[06:03] <bds> I guess we were thinking the same thing
[06:03] <TooR4u> ewook, but no use
[06:03] <lupine_85> ok, thanks anyway :)
[06:03] <daedra> its almost as bad as clippy :(
[06:03] <bds> about solving the sound problem
[06:04] <SMG2007> why if I access to my FTP from the browser (firefox or iexplorer), the special characters (like , etc) are not displayed properly
[06:04] <SMG2007> ?
[06:04] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: muted chans show as "M"
[06:04] <ewook> so, all services are upp and running, and you've placed your files in /var/www
[06:04] <thoreauputic> or MM actually
[06:04] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, ok must be in wrong one hold on lol
[06:04] <SMG2007> any1 knows?
[06:04] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: use tab and arrows
[06:04] <ewook> and using a webbrowser to then point to http://localhost/[phpfile] .php just gives you a download-window?
[06:04] <ewook> then, php isn't running
[06:04] <dignick> ewook: lol, ok.  Does it have decent hardware support out the box?  And how difficult would it be to get something like azureus running on it?  I would like this thing to be as all-in-one as possible, mounted on a wall next to my network switch :)
[06:04] <DreamDring> no idea ? ... :s
[06:05] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: "m" to unmute - but don't just unmut everything ( likely not to work)
[06:05] <bds> wheels3572: you can save your setings with 'alsactl save' and restore with 'alsactl restore'
[06:05] <magicfinger> ok, i tried to install ubuntu on my external hdd but my bios will not let me boot from that drive will this be the same for all operating systems
[06:05] <TooR4u> ewook, yes....
[06:05] <TooR4u> i have started the apache .....
[06:05] <TooR4u> but
[06:05] <frank_b> I can't find the "totem-xine-firefox-plugin packages in edgy's repositories. has this package been substituted by the "totem-mozilla" one?
[06:05] <ewook> dignick, oh... right... then I must say that it might become troublesome. getting azureus could prove a bit tricky (still duable tho)
[06:05] <SMG2007> any1 knows how to display special characters properly with proftpd?
[06:05] <TooR4u> i dont know what the problem is...
[06:06] <ewook> dignick, then, your first suggestion should be a bit nicer.
[06:06] <DreamDring> please, don't let me without help !
[06:06] <TooR4u> ewook, this problem is annoying me from 2 months
[06:06] <sreynolds00> I'm having an issue writing an ISO to cd.  I have tried k3b and the nautilus (i'm assuming, right click "write to CD")  Everytime, whichever method I am using to write the CD the program hangs on "Preparing to write CD."  All other apps are running fine, as I am staring at the hung up "Preparing to write CD" window right now.  How can I determine if my burner is borked or if I have some type of conflict?  This is my first go at linux  wi
[06:06] <TooR4u> now i am not able to do my php programs
[06:06] <ewook> TooR4u, mkay?
[06:06] <magicfinger> what problem is annoying you
[06:06] <ewook> php isn't running
[06:06] <thoreauputic> DreamDring:  sudo update-alternatives --config java
[06:06] <TooR4u> when ever i tried to run my php files then it is asking for download
[06:07] <dignick> ewook: ok, this is the thought process I have been through :) I'll persue this further on my own, and thanks for your help!
[06:07] <TooR4u> ewook, ys
[06:07] <thoreauputic> DreamDring: but if you installed manually without a deb that won't do much I suspect
[06:07] <magicfinger> you need to set apach up properly
[06:07] <DreamDring> thoreauputic: gij is found but nothing else :s
[06:07] <TooR4u> ewook, what i have to do...?
[06:07] <thoreauputic> DreamDring: any reason why you installed manually ?
[06:07] <DreamDring> thoreauputic: yep, i do it manually...
[06:08] <thoreauputic> why?
[06:08] <thoreauputic> !java | DreamDring
[06:08] <ubotu> DreamDring: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository
[06:08] <thoreauputic> ?
[06:08] <DreamDring> thoreauputic: hum... i think it's a good didactic way :p
[06:09] <thoreauputic> DreamDring: if you did it manually you will need symlinks
[06:09] <DreamDring> thanks for this but i want done it with manually way ;)
[06:09] <wheels3572> What's the latest Gnome AlsaMixer
[06:09] <thoreauputic> DreamDring: I haven't done it that way for at least 2 years ;)
[06:09] <Fox_VK> do somebody have a Creative HQ-2300D headphones ??
[06:10] <DreamDring> thoreauputic: but if i call /usr/bin/jre it's seems works though :/ ?
[06:10] <thoreauputic> DreamDring: I'm sure there are howtos - the wiki page probably will tell you how
[06:10] <thoreauputic> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java
[06:10] <DreamDring> thoreauputic: i'm just a newbie, it's a first time for me ;)
[06:11] <Zaggynl> firestarters just lighted up, someone tried to access my pc (nat address) on port 0 :/
[06:11] <thoreauputic> DreamDring: then read the wiki page I linked
[06:11] <daedra> @lacet
[06:11] <ewook> brb
[06:11] <thoreauputic> DreamDring: much easier to just use the multiverse package for java
[06:11] <daedra> hmm what was that command to get a funny comment from Ubugtu?
[06:11] <DreamDring> thoreauputic: ok, thanks, i will go there ;)
[06:11] <thoreauputic> :)
[06:11] <daedra> @chuck
[06:11] <daedra> :(
[06:11] <TooR4u> ewook, ok i will try

[06:13] <bashir> hey does anyone know what you have to have isntalled to use rythmbox gdesklets?
[06:13] <thoreauputic> ken: I've seen that happen years ago in fluxbox - forget what the problem was though, sorry
[06:13] <bashir> i have the desklets but they dont detect rythmbox is open
[06:14] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: ?
[06:14] <magicfinger> im not sure for ubuntu
[06:14] <magicfinger> but on windows you need to change
[06:14] <wheels3572> Gnome Alsa Mixer is showing Realtek ALC100,100p Rev 38
[06:14] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: realtek mostly make network cards IIRC ?
[06:14] <magicfinger> At the end of the LoadModule section, add LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache.dll".
[06:14] <bashir> does anyone know?
[06:14] <evilgold> does anyone know how to get ubuntu setup to use a 1 button mouse... like OS-X style
[06:15] <weex> any suggestions for the best free video format for viewing through a web browser?

[06:15] <ken> thoreauputic: This occurs so often that now i am used to empty windows. Can you please please help me? This should not happen right?
[06:15] <magicfinger> At the end of the AddModule section add AddModule mod_php5.c.
[06:15] <weex> i've got lots of movs i want to convert

[06:15] <ken> Somebody HELP MEEEEEEEEEEE!
[06:15] <wheels3572> Im hoping
[06:15] <wheels3572> lol
[06:15] <apokryphos> !caps | ken
[06:15] <ubotu> ken: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[06:15] <bashir> does anyone else use gdesklets at all?
[06:16] <strabes> !ask | ken
[06:16] <ubotu> ken: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:16] <magicfinger> Find where it says <IfModule mod_mime.c> and add the following lines:
[06:16] <magicfinger> AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
[06:16] <magicfinger> AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
[06:16] <magicfinger> The first line tells Apache to handle files with a .php extension as a PHP file. The second says that .phps files are PHP source code.
[06:16] <x-r00t-x> http://php.net/sockets
[06:16] <thoreauputic> ken: are you happy to try a default gnome? You can try moving all the .gnome* directories and restarting gnome to see if it's something you misconfigured
[06:16] <x-r00t-x> how do i install it ? i installed php5 package
[06:16] <bashir> does anyone know where i can find help with it other than #gdesklets (no one is ever there)
[06:16] <magicfinger> toor4u
[06:16] <thoreauputic> ken: or create a new user and log in as the new user to see if it is that

[06:18] <ewook> back
[06:18] <ewook> hi fafek2
[06:19] <fafek2> Does somebody know where I can get Thunderbird 2 Beta 1 package for Ubuntu 6.10?
[06:19] <ken> please help :(
[06:19] <fafek2> I was Googling without results.
[06:19] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: checks if you have an audio group I think ( zero means yes - return value )
[06:19] <ewook> fafek2, prolly doesn't exists a package for ubu yet.
[06:19] <ewook> if you didn't find one
[06:19] <apokryphos> ken: we welcome support requests, but please try to be courteous while doing so. Using caps spams the channel, as does repeating. If someone is able/willing to help, they will.
[06:20] <ComputinChuck> i'm trying to play a game that uses SDL for it's sound, but all of the audio is accompanied by a popping noise, any ideas on how to fix this?
[06:20] <ken> apokryphos: ok :(
[06:20] <ken> 
[06:20] <x-r00t-x> http://php.net/sockets ................. how do i install it ? i installed php5 package
[06:20] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, well let me just say this.  Im returning a 0 now
[06:20] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: ah sorry - checks to see if your user is in the audio group ( just as easy to type groups by itself)
[06:20] <TooR4u> magicfinger, My httpd.conf file configuration         http://pastebin.ca/296862
[06:20] <fafek2> Thnaks anyway. All those packages makes me sick
[06:20] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: yes I get 0 too
[06:21] <wheels3572> im about to throw this out the darn window lol.  I have NO sound period grrrrrrrrrrr not even on the aplay up.wav grrrrrrrr
[06:21] <apokryphos> ubotu: sound
[06:21] <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
[06:21] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: actually that command looks pointless since all the groups are on one line anyway
[06:22] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: in the output of "groups" I mean
[06:22] <ken> No-one? :(
[06:22] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, I just did a google search on realtek thats the onboard sound.
[06:22] <magicfinger> is that all of the httpd.conf
[06:22] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, do I have to auto set default the card everytime now that I turn on computer
[06:23] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: right but that doesn't really help you - try the link apokryphos gave you through ubotu
[06:23] <anu> whats ken's problem?
[06:23] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: you shouldn't have to reset - but read the link

[06:31] <ken> ski-worklap: ?
[06:31] <lupine_85> ken: I don't use GNOME, sorry.
[06:31] <ken> lupine_85: ok :(
[06:31] <_Adramelech_> Siv0x: error on terminal?
[06:31] <snowkrash> hi
[06:31] <lupine_85> btw, its bad manners to jump on people. If someone doesn't know, they won't say.
[06:31] <snowkrash> my rhythmenbox still doesnt play mp3
[06:31] <ski-worklap> ken - nevermind. i'm too early in the morning.
[06:31] <snowkrash> i already installed the gstreamer lib
[06:31] <snowkrash> and added a new profile
[06:31] <snowkrash> but doesnt work
[06:31] <thoreauputic> ken: I actually made a suggestion ages ago
[06:31] <snowkrash> any tips
[06:31] <tannerld> when I run glxgears, nothing shows up. how can I fix this? (i use a ati card)
[06:32] <siv0x> Adramelech: noep
[06:32] <siv0x> Adramelech: nope*
[06:32] <siv0x> Adramelech: an error with the program i was using, which was "Crossover"
[06:32] <thoreauputic> ken: try making a new user and logging in as that user - if that solves it then there is an issue with your hidden ~/.gnome* directories and files
[06:33] <ken> thoreauputic: ok, will do that
[06:33] <CUBeR64> hello everyone, i just wanted to pop back here, i came for help with my nvidia driver installation yesterday and from the help i received i was able to install the driver, thanks a lot for the help :D
[06:33] <_Adramelech_> siv0x: tried this? http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wiwimod/index.php?page=HOWTO+Steam
[06:33] <thoreauputic> ken: if it is only firefox, try  starting   firefox -ProfileManager and make a new profile ( say "test ")
[06:34] <magicfinger> toor4u have they helped you out yet
[06:34] <ski-worklap> hmm, i installed konq last night, it stole the default browser binding, so i told firefox to take it back, and that seems to have worked. however, xchat still launches links with konq instead of ffox for some reason. can anyone shed some light?
[06:35] <tannerld> when I run glxgears, nothing shows up. how can I fix this? (i use a ati card)
[06:35] <TooR4u> nope:(
[06:35] <magicfinger> configure xchat
[06:35] <thoreauputic> ski-worklap: try  sudo dpkg-reconfigure --config x-www-browser
[06:35] <siv0x> Adramelech: nope, thanks : D
[06:35] <magicfinger> have u tried a php channel
[06:35] <Jon335> I'm running Ubuntu Edgy. None of the progress bars show. If there is a number in the progress bar (ie percentage) it gets distorted once the bar passes over it. What should I do?
[06:36] <_Adramelech_> siv0x: btw, get wine from repos, dont try to compile it, not necesary
[06:36] <snowkrash> anyone can support me on the sound driver prob ;)?
[06:36] <tannerld> umm theres somebody sending me spam (i think)
[06:36] <thoreauputic> bah sorry ski-worklap
[06:36] <_Adramelech_> Jon335: It can be your theme try chagin it and see if it works
[06:36] <thoreauputic> ski-worklap:  sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser
[06:36] <apokryphos> tannerld: in here? Message me what and who please.
[06:36] <siv0x> Adramelech: do you mean get it from synaptic?
[06:36] <wheels3572> ok back to square one.  I have sound when I use the aplay/*up.wav and when I do test sounds on Gaim but still no sound anywhere else.  That is my main issue still.  How do I know what sound device my app is using?  Someone tell me an app to use nad I will follow the steps you give I have plenty of media apps installed lol
[06:36] <Jon335> _Adramelech_, It's the default theme
[06:37] <Jon335> _Adramelech_, It's like that on the live CD too
[06:37] <thoreauputic> ski-worklap: so used to giving out the dpkg-reconfigure my brain segfaulted ;p
[06:37] <ski-worklap> thoreauputic, oh nice thank you
[06:37] <siv0x> Adramelech: like it says on the winehq site
[06:37] <_Adramelech_> Siv0x: yes
[06:37] <ski-worklap> thoreauputic, i must have told firefox to "check to be the default browser" and that doesn't quite work it seems
[06:37] <_Adramelech_> Siv0x: get ir from sinaptic
[06:37] <ski-worklap> brb
[06:37] <_Adramelech_> synaptic*
[06:38] <[GuS] > Hi people!!! I'm having some problems in Kubuntu edgy since i've upgraded from Dapper... in the xkb configuration (inside Systemsettings) i have this, none keyboars/language to choose: http://www.lnxteam.org/downloads/pub/pics/kubuntu/xkb-problem.png
[06:38] <thoreauputic> ski-worklap: I have a vahue recollection that xchat uses x-www-browser
[06:38] <ski-worklap> yup, that did it. thanks thoreauputic
[06:38] <thoreauputic> *vague
[06:38] <siv0x> Adramelech: k
[06:38] <thoreauputic> ski-worklap: :) good
[06:38] <ski-worklap> thoreauputic, yeah. i wonder what ffox is using?
[06:39] <ski-worklap> cuz gaim seemed to dig whatever jive ffox threw at it
[06:39] <thoreauputic> ski-worklap: until you installed konq, ff was x-www-browser
[06:39] <thoreauputic> ski-worklap: konq likes to take over ;p
[06:39] <ski-worklap> thoreauputic, right, i understand that. so in ffox i told it to make itself the default
[06:39] <pabloz> hello in old year yet :)
[06:39] <ski-worklap> apparently that doesn't do the same thing
[06:39] <thoreauputic> ski-worklap: no, it doesn't
[06:40] <ski-worklap> thoreauputic, that's what i'm asking - what is the other thing it does?
[06:40] <thoreauputic> ski-worklap: the update-alternatives thing is a debianism
[06:40] <[ITA] Stormcrow> anyone use the i915 graphic card?
[06:40] <ski-worklap> thoreauputic, yea
[06:40] <ski-worklap> ski-worklap, so what is the ffox thing doing?
[06:40] <wheels3572> Helix Player, Movie Player, Rhythm Box Music Player, Xfmedia and XMMS Media Player
[06:40] <TooR4u> magicfinger, can u tell me where i have to copy the addtype....
[06:40] <thoreauputic> ski-worklap: I don't know what the firefox setting does, frankly - if anything
[06:41] <DreamDring> thoreauputic: ok, it run :) not using the way i wanted but it's ok :) (i changed the symlink under /etc/alternatives dir ;) )
[06:41] <thoreauputic> DreamDring: hmm OK
[06:41] <ski-worklap> thoreauputic, oh, it does something, as it made gaim do what i wanted to, but not xchat
[06:41] <ski-worklap> anyway, just a curiosity point. thanks for the help
[06:41] <thoreauputic> ski-worklap: it is not for me to question the inscrutable workings of firefox ;-)
[06:42] <TooR4u> magicfinger, i have added u r AddType application/x-httpd-php .php to my httpd.conf file
[06:42] <TooR4u> then what i have to do?
[06:42] <thoreauputic> ski-worklap: you're welcome :)

[06:43] <pag3r> hi, did anyone try xgl and compiz on ubuntu?
[06:43] <skarface> pag3r: #ubuntu-xgl I think
[06:43] <siv0x> Adramelech: k its installed.
[06:43] <Jon335> any ideas guys?
[06:44] <thoreauputic> !anyone
[06:44] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[06:44] <pag3r> skarface: does it need complex configuration to have it work?
[06:44] <skarface> pag3r: it needs a little. check the wiki.
[06:44] <tannerld> when I run glxgears, nothing shows up. how can I fix this? (i use a ati card)
[06:44] <thoreauputic> !ati
[06:44] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:45] <pabloz> ?
[06:45] <cstrippie> pag3r - yes, it does
[06:45] <Maheanuu> Gots a prob.....  I just managed to get Dapper alternative up and running on a new box using alternate
[06:46] <pag3r> actually I'm testing this version of ubuntu, installed on a VM. so no video driver is present.
[06:46] <Jon335> I'm running Ubuntu Edgy. None of the progress bars show. If there is a number in the progress bar (ie percentage) it gets distorted once the bar passes over it. It's like that on the Live CD too. What should I do?
[06:46] <Maheanuu> the machine is running amd 64 dual core proc
[06:46] <cstrippie> Is there a way to get all icons to auto-arrange to the right side of the desktop?
[06:46] <skarface> pag3r: never tried it in VM. that probably makes it more complicated.
[06:47] <cstrippie> pag3r - without 3d hardware support you cannot use xgl/beryl
[06:47] <pag3r> I think so, I've tried Xgl on SuSE.. was very hard to have it run.
[06:47] <Maheanuu> I just downloaded and installed the upgrades that Dapper told me to get and as soon as I closed the window after installation The puter shut down and is now busy turning itself off and on again over and over????
[06:47] <siv0x> Adramelech: What does this mean: Now run wine without any parameters. When wine is run for the first time, it creates all necessary directories, including your fake C: drive, which is per default located in ~/.wine/drive_c.
[06:48] <mats> siv0x: what are you wondering about?
[06:48] <pag3r> you have to enable 3d rendering of your GPU 1st.
[06:48] <thoreauputic> siv0x: ~/.wine/drive_c  is a hidden directory in your home directory - ctrl-h in nautilus to see hidden directories
[06:48] <mats> or ls -a ;)
[06:48] <skarface> Maheanuu: I don't know if this will help you, but that happened to me once and I pulled out the memory, booted, and put the memory back in to fix it.
[06:49] <siv0x> mats: installing wine
[06:49] <cld2> bash$ sudo nvidia-glx-config enable Error: unable to load nvidia kernel driver! Be sure to have installed the nvidia driver for your running kernel. Anyone know why this isnt working, ive done depmod and I have the proper linux-resitriced-modules ? thanks.
[06:49] <thoreauputic> mats: I'm assuming the terminal isn't familiar to someone eho doesn't know what that means
[06:49] <thoreauputic> :)
[06:49] <siv0x> thoreauputic: ok, but is that what it is telling me to do, its just saying run wine without any perimeters.. how do i do this?
[06:49] <ollekalle> HI, can someone help me out with amixer. I want to raise my default output volume
[06:49] <mats> siv0x: its telling you that when installing wine is creates a folder in your home, ~/.wine/drive_c.
[06:49] <thoreauputic> siv0x: type  wine  in a terminal
[06:50] <mats> thoreauputic: ;)
[06:50] <Plinty> is there a way to restart gdm withouth restarting my copmuter? it seems that the gdm is crashed
[06:50] <siv0x> Thoreauputic: Usage: wine PROGRAM [ARGUMENTS...]    Run the specified program
[06:50] <siv0x>        wine --help                   Display this help and exit
[06:50] <siv0x>        wine --version                Output version information and exit
[06:50] <mats> who can use linux without cli O_O :p
[06:50] <thoreauputic> Plinty: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[06:50] <mats> wine program.exe
[06:50] <thoreauputic> Plinty: it will kill X momnetarily then come back
[06:50] <pyrad> I'm recently upgraded to latest version of ubuntu, but for some reason the software updates icon doesnt show up on my desktop to notify any available updates, i'm having to go manually and check through system -> Admin -> update manager, any idea how do i enable that update notifier icon?
[06:50] <thoreauputic> *momentarily
[06:51] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, How do I know what my music app is using for a sound device?
[06:51] <mats> pyrad: open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade" :)
[06:51] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: no idea - I only have one sound card
[06:52] <pyrad> mats: yep i'm aware of that, but just wondering why this is not working
[06:52] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, ok.  I have 1 sound card but my onboard sound is being detected by linux lol.  Thats why im asking lol.
[06:52] <mats> pyrad: ah ;) i read wrong :p
[06:53] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: you might be able to disable onboard sound in your BIOS
[06:53] <prudhvi> hi
[06:53] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, done that already
[06:53] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, linux still picking it up
[06:53] <thoreauputic> hmm - then i don't know
[06:53] <prudhvi> hiiiiiiii
[06:53] <mats> cant you just unable the module in the core? :p
[06:54] <mats> or is that impossible - never tried
[06:54] <wheels3572> mats, How would I do that?  newbie here
[06:54] <foutrelis> Hello! I was wondering why when I install the nvidia driver (nvidia-glx I think), the 386 kernel is installed and default over generic. Why? :)
[06:54] <mats> wheels3572: im not sure if that does the job or what it will do for you. So Im not gonna tell you :p
[06:55] <quad3d> rmmode 'MODULE_NAME'
[06:55] <quad3d> rmmod
[06:55] <mats> mod*
[06:55] <quad3d> of course you need to know your module name
[06:55] <mats> <--laggs
[06:55] <wheels3572> mats, ok np :).  Just a pain in the butt to have sound when I click on test under GAIM but not work anywhere else grrrrrrrr
[06:55] <mats> lsmod
[06:55] <ski-worklap> foutrelis, all the architecture specific kernels should be deprecated
[06:55] <quad3d> wheels3572, lsmod |grep '^snd'
[06:55] <foutrelis> ski-worklap, so the right one is generic right?
[06:55] <mats> if you run the program from terminal itwill tell you what device it is connecting too
[06:55] <ski-worklap> are you sure that 386 isn't the same as generic?
[06:56] <ski-worklap> one is probably a symlink to the other
[06:56] <quad3d> locate your onboard sound module and disable it
[06:56] <foutrelis> I think they are not the same
[06:56] <mats> quad3d: would it be smart to unload the module? :p
[06:56] <ski-worklap> foutrelis, if that's the case you should file a bug report. generic should be used for everything now
[06:56] <ski-worklap> !generic
[06:56] <ubotu> Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed)
[06:56] <slacker_nl> hello to all
[06:56] <pokesmot> Does anybody know of a guide to get java runtime environment running on firefox?
[06:56] <thoreauputic> !java
[06:56] <siv0x> Thoreauputic: wine in konsole didnt work Thoreauputic
[06:56] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository

[06:57] <pyrad> mats: when i run update-notifier on cmd line, it says already running, but doesnt show up when new updates are available
[06:57] <thoreauputic> siv0x: sorry I know nothing about wine - I don't run any non-linux apps at all
[06:57] <christian1222> when i go into update manager for my laptoop, which is running 6.06, why wont it tell me to upgrade to 6.10? How do i tell it to upgrade?
[06:57] <quad3d> why not? :) i have a user that had the same problem yesterday. 2 sound cards, alsa configured, he disabled onboard and sound works
[06:57] <thoreauputic> !wine
[06:57] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[06:57] <pyrad> mats: is this a known bug or am i missing something
[06:57] <foutrelis> ski-worklap, I install my nvidia drivers through automatix2 and everytime the 386 kernel is set the default one. It is like install linux-386 :(
[06:58] <thoreauputic> !automatix
[06:58] <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
[06:58] <wheels3572> quad3d, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39493/
[06:58] <ski-worklap> foutrelis, what thoreauputic said
[06:58] <quad3d> that's what modules are made for anyway. so you can load/unload anytime you want
[06:58] <mats> pyrad: i heard of it before - but i havnt had that problem. Sorry. Have you tried reinstalling the 'updater' ?
[06:58] <foutrelis> oh! I apologize.. I did not know that :(

[06:58] <quad3d> wheels3572, try 'rmmod via82xx'
[06:58] <pyrad> mats: nop did not..
[06:58] <Plinty> how to install kubuntu when ubuntu is already installed?
[06:59] <ski-worklap> foutrelis, many don't, unfortunately
[06:59] <siv0x> thoreauputic: wine is a linux app, or i think so since its in synaptic..
[06:59] <ski-worklap> Plinty, what do you want exactly?
[06:59] <apokryphos> Plinty: take a look at the FAQ (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions) as linked to in the channel /topic
[06:59] <Raybdbomb> i installed ubuntu then installed windows in another partition and it overwrote the bootloader, how can i get it back, now with dualbooting?
[06:59] <mats> Plinty: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[06:59] <siv0x> thoreauputic: its okay though. thanks for trying
[06:59] <thoreauputic> siv0x: yes of course - but it is used to run window apps :)
[06:59] <ski-worklap> Raybdbomb, boot to the install cd and install grub
[06:59] <foutrelis> I ll try the nvidia's installer :)
[06:59] <pokesmot> Can anybody recommend any cool desktop stuff for gnome?
[06:59] <wheels3572> Module via82xx does not exit in  /proc/modules
[06:59] <foutrelis> thanks :)
[06:59] <mats> pyrad: hm.. im not sure
[06:59] <dave_> how can i access my samba shares on a win machine? it comes up with a login window, username and password? how do i get rid of that. my details dont work
[06:59] <thoreauputic> siv0x: have a look at the wine link ubotu gave
[07:00] <thoreauputic> !wine| siv0x
[07:00] <ubotu> siv0x: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[07:00] <nix_ferret> pokesmot, Like compiz??
[07:00] <pyrad> mats: mm ok. whats the easiest way to reinstall the updates without messing things up
[07:00] <Plinty> I have installed kubuntu-desktop, but it only installed a lot of K named programs, replaced bootup image and login screen, but the desktop is still gnome-like
[07:00] <mats> wheels3572: what does is say under lsmod | grep ^snd'
[07:00] <nix_ferret> pokesmot, or themes?
[07:00] <apokryphos> Plinty: logout, change teh session to KDE, and then login
[07:00] <pyrad> mats: apt-get remove and install will do?
[07:00] <quad3d> are you doing it as root? rmmod
[07:00] <Raybdbomb> ski-worklap i'm on the bootcd, u mean install grub via apt-get? ... maybe you have a site i can look at with instructions?
[07:00] <thoreauputic> Plinty: did you choose KDE under sessions in the login screen ?
[07:00] <quad3d> seems like you are still logged on as wheels
[07:01] <Plinty> I guess not
[07:01] <pokesmot> nix_ferret anything, just wanna make it look way cool and unwindowsish
[07:01] <thoreauputic> btw hi apokryphos  :)
[07:01] <Plinty> I'll try it
[07:01] <wheels3572> mats, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39493/
[07:01] <apokryphos> hey ;-)
[07:01] <thoreauputic> :)
[07:01] <dave_> anyone, how can i access my samba shares on a win machine? it comes up with a login window, username and password? how do i get rid of that. my details dont work
[07:01] <mats> wheels3572: just a moment
[07:01] <thoreauputic> !samba
[07:01] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[07:01] <wheels3572> quad3d, Yeah that what I log in under
[07:01] <wheels3572> mats, ok
[07:01] <leafw> does the mounting of ftp servers work for anyone under gnome? In KDE knoqueror can access them just fine
[07:02] <mats> pyrad: try doing it and messige me if it dosnt do well
[07:02] <nix_ferret> pokesmot, If you have a good video card goolge compiz & xgl, if you just want some good themes go to gnome-art.org (i think it is)
[07:02] <regeya> wish me luck--rebuilt initrd.img, about to try to boot an lvm-volume-as-root install
[07:02] <ski-worklap> Raybdbomb, i'm not sure exactly what you need to run to install grub on the hard disk, but try grub-install from the commandline (and read its manpage)
[07:02] <leafw> also, sftp, smb and ssh are just fine. Only FTP doesn't work!
[07:02] <pokesmot> nix_ferret, cool thanks
[07:02] <quad3d> alright i have to go to lunch. but ca0106 is your SB audigy card and via82xx is your onboard. someone else can help you w/ disabling via82xx
[07:02] <Raybdbomb> k thx
[07:02] <quad3d> once you get that disabled restart alsa and see if it works
[07:02] <wheels3572> quad3d, ok ty
[07:02] <mats> wheels3572: 'sudo rmmod via82xx'
[07:03] <quad3d> rmmod needs to be superuser
[07:03] <thoreauputic> quad3d: hence the "Sudo"
[07:04] <wheels3572> mats, I did that get the error msg  ERROR: Module via82xx does not exit in /proc/modules
[07:04] <pyrad> mats: the re-install seemed to go through fine, not seeing the notifier icon though.
[07:05] <quad3d> wheels3572, you could insert 'blacklist via82xx' into your /etc/modules and reboot and so lsmod |grep '^snd' again see if via82xx is still loaded
[07:05] <quad3d> later, going to lunch.
[07:05] <wheels3572> quad3d,  ok ty
[07:05] <christian1222> how do i upgrade from dapper to edgy?
[07:06] <mats> !upgrade
[07:06] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[07:06] <mats> pyrad: hm.. i have to search the web for this.. just a moment

[07:44] <exs> guys, what's the highest compresssion method 'archive manager' can do?.. is it tar.gz?

[07:44] <thoreauputic> ben_: I'm not on edgy atm - do apt-cache search linux generic and install one afterwards or search for it in synaptic
[07:44] <mc44> ben_: yeah, just apt-get install linux-generic

[07:45] <thoreauputic> !sound| Ninjadolph
[07:45] <ubotu> Ninjadolph: 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

[07:52] <thoreauputic> ben_: yw thanks for bothering to say thanks - makes a big difference to us :)
[07:53] <eitan> daedra_: i backed up xorg.conf
[07:53] <daedra_> eitan: so when you logout/in again the touchpad works?
[07:53] <stopgo> thoreauputic: ok, thanks. I'm not accustomed to gconf-editor, so I'll have to do a bit of reading
[07:53] <eitan> daedra_ yes
[07:53] <ben_> thoreaputic: no problem, i love it when people do it for me too :)
[07:53] <Ernz> ....anyone, please, bluetooth?
[07:53] <thoreauputic> stopgo: just be careful to note your changes so you can back them out if you need to
[07:53] <daedra_> eitan: how about reboots after that? does it 'forget' everything?
[07:54] <sovieticool> !dc++
[07:54] <eitan> daedra_ but it doesn't load when i reboot
[07:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dc++ - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:54] <rbil> siv0x: possibly u can just dump ttf fonts into ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts  directory
[07:54] <sovieticool> !dc
[07:54] <rbil> I haven't yet tried to install fonts in wine

[07:55] <mats> apt-cache search dc
[07:55] <daedra_> eitan: that is wierd behaviour - i'm afraid I can't help you on that
[07:55] <Ernz> Why does Kubuntu have absolutely fantastic Bluetooth support, which works out of the box, and Ubuntu sucks at it?
[07:55] <animal> Ray I'm getting some 505 error I can't use that Query thing
[07:55] <Ernz> I thought it was the same underlying OS
[07:55] <siv0x> rbil: yeah, i'm looking for one a specific font, can you help me look for it?
[07:55] <eitan> okay
[07:55] <eitan> thanks anyways :)
[07:55] <wasabi_> Ernz: Not much UI integration yet.
[07:55] <Raybdbomb> animal: what query thing
[07:55] <rbil> siv0x: no, I don't use Windoze
[07:56] <wasabi_> Ernz: bluetooth works perfectly on Ubuntu... there's just no UI to set it up right.
[07:56] <animal> Umm PM's
[07:56] <mats> Ernz: its the programs for gnome that dosnt respond right
[07:56] <siv0x> rbil: huh?
[07:56] <animal> It's telling me to register, when I do it says the nick is taken >.<
[07:56] <Ernz> wasabi_ / mats: So how can I get my bluetooth working on Ubuntu?
[07:56] <Raybdbomb> animal: register for... my site?
[07:56] <rbil> siv0x: I don't hav access to Windoze fonts, if that is what u were requesting
[07:57] <TheJoe> No IRC
[07:57] <wasabi_> Ernz: What part of your bluetooth?
[07:57] <siv0x> rbil: yeah
[07:57] <Raybdbomb> animal: don't register for my site :P
[07:57] <siv0x> rbil: i have no clue were im gonna find this font..
[07:57] <Ernz> wasabi_ send to and from a mobile phone.
[07:57] <rbil> siv0x: google I guess?
[07:57] <siv0x> i'm looking..
[07:58] <Raybdbomb> animal: oh yea just choose a diff name then
[07:58] <Raybdbomb> grin
[07:58] <animaljoe> Yeah I can't find one that isn't taken
[07:58] <Ernz> Wasabi_ kubuntu is simple (how it should be) just click on the device, and copy. Receiving is simple to, send from phone, enter passkey when prompted, hey presto. Simple.
[07:58] <calamari> hi
[07:58] <animaljoe> Finally
[07:58] <Raybdbomb> heh
[07:58] <ianthepetrock> yum, calamari
[07:58] <ComputinChuck> i'm trying to play battle for wesnoth which uses SDL (i believe) for sound, all the audio is accompanied by a popping, scratchy noise, does anyone have any ideas about this?
[07:59] <baxter_kylie> Could someone please explain to me how I can autorun an executable on a usb key via g-v-m if g-m mounts the volume noexec? It seems to defeat the purpose.
[07:59] <mats> Ernz: i use kubunty myself so i cant be helpfull with gnome-stuff :p
[08:00] <calamari> building a computer for my grandma, wanting to put Linux on it... but she wants to be able to buy/download music (legally).  What are my options?  Dual booting seems like a big pain, and emulation of XP is pretty slow.
[08:00] <Ernz> mats: there's so much in kubuntu that just makes more sense to implement within ubuntu too, but kubuntu feels awkward intrusive sometimes (Partly because it tries to imitate windows.
[08:00] <Tomcat_> calamari: You could check if itunes/windows media runs on wine/cedega/crossover...

[08:02] <dancallo> Hello Derrick
[08:02] <Derrick> Hi
[08:02] <kennyb0328> anyone  I'm having a prob with screen overflow the workspace on the right.??
[08:02] <dancallo> How long have you been using ubuntu?
[08:02] <tannerld> when I try setting up dual monitors, and restart x, I get a icky rainbow lined login that is unusable. any help?
[08:02] <Ernz> Anyway, if someone knows how to set up Bluetooth in Ubuntu (Gnome) can you please point me in the right direction for the sake of my sanity.
[08:02] <Ernz> Cheers
[08:02] <Ernz> !bluetooth
[08:02] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[08:02] <mats> Ernz: (-: kde has come along way with developing ;) it does the job and i use it :p
[08:02] <mats> Ernz: but i do understand you ;)
[08:03] <Derrick> Hi :)
[08:03] <mats> Hello, Derrick
[08:03] <dancallo> Derrick, how long have you been using ubuntu?
[08:03] <Derrick> For a week, now
[08:04] <dancallo> About the same here.  I'm using Dapper Drake
[08:04] <Ernz> mats: I am torn between the two at the moment, I hate gnome to start with, and learned to love it, and then I tried KDE for the first time a week ago and thought it was the mutts nuts, and now it feels stale and cumbersome with a few exceptional advantages (Like hardware management!)
[08:04] <Derrick> I think it very good
[08:04] <animaljoe> Does anyone know if Beryl works on an S3 ProSavage8 card?
[08:04] <dancallo> Same here
[08:04] <dancallo> Only thing, my sound card was not detected...it's an ISA card.
[08:04] <wasabi_> Ernz: Ya know, you can manipulate the system to run pieces of both at the same time.
[08:04] <wasabi_> Ernz: Run KDE's bluetooth daemon stuff, but nautilus/gnome-panel/etc
[08:05] <rbil> tannerld: you'll need to find a working xorg.conf file setup for dual monitors with your particular video driver
[08:05] <Ernz> wasabi_ I tried running KDE's bluetooth on Ubuntu, but it was very buggy as it relies heavily on Konqueror
[08:05] <wasabi_> Ahh.
[08:05] <rbil> tannerld: google for it
[08:05] <wasabi_> That's unfortunate.
[08:06] <Derrick> cya
[08:06] <dancallo> bye

[08:06] <Raybdbomb> alright gunna try some stuff, this room has been no help so far :P
[08:06] <mats> Ernz: you grow to love KDE ;) i used gnome in redhat 6.2 or something :p
[08:06] <Ernz> wasabi_: it was a shame indeed. The main issue was with sending things TO the PC, as it requires utilisation of a passkey dialog, which never appeared.
[08:06] <[ITA] Stormcrow> Hi anyone have this problem? libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x5b
[08:07] <dmc_> How would i go about starting KDE instead of Gnome?
[08:08] <Ernz> AND ANOTHER THING! Why is it that KDE and Gnome BOTH register 1024x768 as my maximum resolution?! Why must I resort to text-editing a complex system file or running a config script from the shell to make it "Just work"....?
[08:08] <Derrick> Hi
[08:08] <JAyRULE> !DiskMounter
[08:08] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - See also !fuse
[08:08] <tritium> Ernz: no need to yell
[08:08] <daedra_> !pen0r
[08:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pen0r - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:09] <Ernz> tritium: Sorry, very emotional issue for me.
[08:09] <[ITA] Stormcrow> Hi anyone have this problem? libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x5b
[08:09] <fmachado> dmc_ if you have both installed then you can choose one in login interface (first graphical login interface after boot)
[08:09] <JAyRULE> !fstab
[08:09] <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
[08:09] <rizo_> hi
[08:09] <AlexC_> morning all
[08:09] <rizo_> i need help with some partitions
[08:09] <JAyRULE> !GParted
[08:09] <ubotu> gparted is a GUI partitioning program, "apt-get install gparted", also available as a live cd http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[08:10] <animaljoe> Eek it's Alex!
[08:10] <rizo_> i accidently deleted my logical ntfs partitions how can i recover the data
[08:10] <dmc_> fmachado: does a default ubuntu installation have both?
[08:10] <[ITA] Stormcrow> Hi anyone have this problem? libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x5b
[08:10] <AlexC_> animaljoe: hehe :P
[08:10] <JAyRULE> !QTParted
[08:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about QTParted - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:10] <fmachado> dmc_, nope. only gnome.
[08:10] <mats> Ernz: you just make the config-script run automaticly when you start kde
[08:10] <ente> hey i just installed proftpd on ubuntu but how can i denie the systemuser the ftp connection???
[08:10] <JAyRULE> !fuse
[08:10] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[08:10] <AlexC_> rizo_: ouch!
[08:10] <mats> Ernz: thats not a problem ;)
[08:10] <Ernz> mats: I'm back with Gnome :)
[08:10] <rizo_> i accidently deleted my logical ntfs partitions how can i recover the data.. the partition record does not display it shows unalocated
[08:11] <rizo_> its very important
[08:11] <[ITA] Stormcrow> Hi anyone have this problem? libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x5b
[08:11] <rizo_> please
[08:11] <AlexC_> rizo_: calm down calm down you asked it like less than a min ago. you could use Gparted?
[08:11] <tritium> [ITA] Stormcrow: please stop repeating
[08:11] <rizo_> i only need to recover the data
[08:12] <AlexC_> rizo_: Hum,
[08:12] <Tomcat_> [ITA] Stormcrow: I'm checking.
[08:13] <rizo_> it was whitin an extended partition
[08:13] <Tomcat_> [ITA] Stormcrow: When do you get it? Is anything not working correctly?
[08:13] <[ITA] Stormcrow> thz 1000 :=
[08:13] <rizo_> if that helps
[08:13] <AlexC_> rizo_: I honestly don't have many ideas, but you could try creating a new logical partition with gparted....I don't know though, that could mess everything else up
[08:13] <[ITA] Stormcrow> when i use a 3d application
[08:13] <[ITA] Stormcrow> for esample the command glxgears -printfps
[08:13] <Tomcat_> [ITA] Stormcrow: Graphics card?
[08:14] <gaten> anyone using linux on a laptop w/ a wireless pcmcia card?
[08:14] <spatula> question: can i install ubuntu on a partition on my SLAVE DRIVE, or only on my MASTER?
[08:14] <spatula> if i'm going for a dualboot
[08:14] <ente> does somebody know how ot denie systemuser ftp connection at ubuntu proftopd?
[08:14] <Tomcat_> spatula: You can install it anywhere, also on slave.
[08:14] <AlexC_> spatula: you can do slave
[08:14] <rizo_> yes that the problem
[08:14] <Tomcat_> ente: Probably somewhere in /etc/proftpd.conf
[08:14] <ente> i mean proftpd server
[08:14] <mats> gaten: many
[08:14] <Riyonuk> Is there something like Tiny Ubuntu?
[08:14] <mats> gaten: what is your problem?
[08:14] <[ITA] Stormcrow> If i write glxgears -printfps the output is: libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x5b
[08:14] <[ITA] Stormcrow> 14044 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2788.128 FPS
[08:14] <Lunch> what's the simplest way to enable dual monitor support?
[08:15] <Riyonuk> Minimal install or something
[08:15] <AlexC_> Riyonuk: Server install disk?
[08:15] <gaten> gaten:  nothing yet. but im going to be buying a pcmcia card soon, and was wondering what kind to get. id like as little hassel as possible
[08:15] <AlexC_> Riyonuk: that lets you install anythign you want, afaik
[08:15] <Derrick> Hi, I was wondering if someone can help me, Why does firefox close when i try to go to lots of website?
[08:15] <Tomcat_> [ITA] Stormcrow: I get the same for visual 0x4b with Intel onboard graphics... doesn't seem to matter though.
[08:15] <mc44> !minimal | Riyonuk
[08:15] <ubotu> Riyonuk: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[08:15] <Tomcat_> [ITA] Stormcrow: And no idea how to fix it. If you don't have any problems, just ignore it. :o
[08:16] <[ITA] Stormcrow> I use a intel onboard graphic
[08:16] <daedra_> :( I have a glxgears -printfps of 703
[08:16] <[ITA] Stormcrow> ok I ignore it :P
[08:16] <gaten> mats:  could you suggest a card to me?
[08:16] <Tomcat_> daedra_: glxgears is no benchmark :)
[08:17] <Tomcat_> [ITA] Stormcrow: I guess that comes with the fact that Intel graphics doesn't have all OpenGL features...
[08:17] <AlexC_> gaten: 5 of spades? 6 of clubs?
[08:17] <Tomcat_> [ITA] Stormcrow: What board is that, just out of curiosity? 950?
[08:17] <absurde> hello everybody
[08:18] <[ITA] Stormcrow> i915
[08:18] <gaten> AlexC_:  hehe. pcmcia wireless card
[08:18] <monk_rock> can anyone point me to somewhere a noobie can learn how to use samba to file share and use a network printer?
[08:18] <JAyRULE> how do i format a harddrive?
[08:18] <[ITA] Stormcrow> it's similar at 950
[08:18] <gaten> !samba
[08:18] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[08:18] <Riyonuk> But I dont want to run a server...
[08:18] <AlexC_> hello absurde
[08:18] <absurde> I have a problem with X resolution
[08:18] <malt> what is a good burning software for linux ubuntu to burn .avi movies to a DVD, that converts the .avi movie and burns
[08:19] <munkay> hi all. can someone help me w/ some setup issues w/ eclipse+tomcat5.5?
[08:19] <person51090> I want to install Ubuntu on a slave drive.  would that work?  I'll have windows on the master.  Will the slave be checked for an OS for dualboot?
[08:19] <rambo3> the no such thing
[08:19] <mattk02> can someone help me? my hard drive wont format is there anything that can be done to fix it?
[08:19] <Ernz> mat/wasabi_: I now use the "Bluetooth File Sharing 0.8.0" client to receive bluetooth files, but is there a way of making it sit in the background, hidden on the notification area?
[08:19] <munkay> mattk02: how are you trying to format it
[08:19] <AlexC_> person51090: yes, you asked before.
[08:19] <Tomcat_> person51090: If you install Ubuntu, it will try to find Windows and make it dualboot automatically. You should install Windows *first*.
[08:19] <person51090> ok
[08:19] <plyp_pir8signul> mattk02: ya, tell us what you typed and what the error message said
[08:19] <mattk02> munkay: i cant do it thru xp install or with gparted
[08:19] <person51090> then it'll edit my windows files
[08:19] <gaten> JAyRULE:   man mke2fs
[08:19] <person51090> and install some sort of a dualboot program on my MASTER?
[08:19] <Riyonuk> Tomcat_, thanks, I was about to ask that
[08:20] <absurde> when i modify xorg.conf, xrandr's out, do not give me resolutions i want
[08:20] <daedra_> ok! ive dont my 3 good deeds on IRC helping today - im out
[08:20] <plyp_pir8signul> mattk02: so you're in the middle of trying to install ubuntu?
[08:20] <munkay> mattk02: any error msgs ?
[08:20] <fmachado> absurde, pastebin your xorg.conf
[08:20] <AlexC_> person51090: the "dualboot" program is Grub, you install it to the MBR, or another location to any hard drive..... I think, correct me if I'm wrong someone!
[08:20] <cld2> if I have an amd64 box what kernel image should I be using?
[08:20] <mattk02> plyp_pir8signul: windows says its not xp compatible and i use gparted which formats but it still shows up blank
[08:20] <Riyonuk> AlexC_This 8mb ubuntu, must I be connected to the internet for it to work? Usually I install ubuntu and then configure internet..
[08:20] <person51090> it won't come up onless it's on the master
[08:20] <person51090> because only the master is checked for OSs at boot
[08:21] <AlexC_> person51090: Grub is installed when you install Ubuntu
[08:21] <gaten> cld2:  dont install 64bit kernel, pain in the butt. use the linux-k7.
[08:21] <person51090> that'll install with my windows files, on the master drive
[08:21] <fmachado> cld2, look for a SMP kernel
[08:21] <ente> can't ping ubuntu server by hostname but i typed at the server hostname and showed me the correct hostname?
[08:21] <ubuntuuser> i have me a drive mounted at /home/matt/data, how do i give myself read/write permissions? tried using chmod, just not sure how to use it
[08:21] <AlexC_> Riyonuk: Erm I didn't give you the link to it, but I would assume you'll need to be connected to the internet as it downloads installtion files
[08:21] <mattk02> no its my secondary hard drive but it wont format in either ubuntu or windows install
[08:21] <mattk02> no error messages
[08:21] <Riyonuk> AlexC_ thats kinda lame >_>
[08:21] <JAyRULE> cool, thanks gaten
[08:21] <Maheanuu> I am wanting to download and install mdadm in my new box....  Which flavor should I download for Dapper RPM or Tarball
[08:22] <gaten> mattk02:  there has to be a message, or else it would format
[08:22] <Riyonuk> Ubuntu is doing what I hated windows for...cant remove all the programs
[08:22] <gaten> JAyRULE:  np
[08:22] <AlexC_> Riyonuk: I could be wrong, you may set the connection first I don't know - never tried it
[08:22] <minerale> ok, this is a stupid question, but what is the difference between running debian testing vs ubuntu `server` -- what added benefits are there ?
[08:22] <ubuntuuser> how do i give myself read/write permissions?
[08:22] <AlexC_> Riyonuk: hey it's only 8MB, not exactly a big file to download and try, so - go ahead =)
[08:22] <mattk02> gaten: well i use gparted which shows that it formatted but if i close and reopen gparted it shows blank hd again
[08:22] <minerale> I mean isn't ubuntu just for end users -- mostly improvements on that front ?
[08:22] <gaten> ubuntuuser:  for what? the command in question is chmod
[08:22] <ExploWare[NL] > can somebody help me? I have troubles with installing ubuntu from a debootstrap at the point of installing a bootloader
[08:23] <plyp_pir8signul> mattk02: does it make partitions?
[08:23] <LinTux> I want to install via terminal Apache2, php5, CGI, mysql what command should I use as I seem to remember that you can install the lot in one go?
[08:23] <fmachado> ubuntuuser, chmod u+rw _file-name_
[08:23] <Riyonuk> AlexC_ I dont want it to ruin my partitons cause it cant finish its install
[08:23] <ubuntuuser> i have a drive mounted at /home/matt/data, how do i make it so the whole dir is read/write?
[08:23] <gaten> mattk02:  did you try unmounting it, formatting, then remounting it?
[08:23] <AlexC_> LinTux: sudo apt-get install prog1 prog2 prog3 prog4
[08:23] <cld2> gaten, fmachado: I dont have dual core but im just wondering if the linux-image-generic for 6.10 is the right one to be using. thanks.
[08:23] <fmachado> !chmod | ubuntuuser
[08:23] <ubotu> ubuntuuser: The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[08:23] <ExploWare[NL] > my /dev/ is not populated with the harddisks, and I think I need /dev/hdd2
[08:24] <mattk02> plyp_pir8signul: well it did last night now i open gparted and its not even showing :S
[08:24] <ubuntuuser> fmachado, what is the command?
[08:24] <sybec> Hello.
[08:24] <Ernz> ANYONE: Is there a way of hiding selected icons within the Notification Area? Thanks.
[08:24] <gaten> cld2:  umm, it might be. im using drapper w/ linux-k7, but ive heard that edgy will work with generic. but u should ask someone else to be sure
[08:24] <AlexC_> Ernz: in Gnome? I don't think so
[08:24] <fmachado> chmod u+rw _file-name_
[08:24] <skarface> is there a boot option to skip the livecd and just install?
[08:24] <ubuntuuser> yes, but i want the whole dir to be rw
[08:24] <mattk02> gaten: havent tried yet im new to ubuntu...truly a suse man myself
[08:24] <ubuntuuser> will that work?
[08:24] <gaten> mattk02:  try fdisk. remove the partition and add it again

[08:28] <munkay> LinTux: depends what you want. if you want cgi to run php then u need php-cgi
[08:28] <mattk02> gaten: wouldnt windows xp setup be using fdisk in its partition setup anyway?

[08:29] <kennyb0328> anyone  Since I installed ubuntu, my screen falls off the right side of the display, no matter what size I set the display to.  Anyone know why?  Firefox is my browser.
[08:29] <ubuntuuser> how can i 'register' a name for the freenode network? i have to to be able to join #fedora
[08:29] <LinTux> What is the best GUI for mysql server
[08:29] <gaten> mattk02:  probably. but their method didn't work, so try yours. it could also be a bad drive/connected. i know thats what was screwing up my sata disk the other day
[08:30] <AlexC_> ubuntuuser: /msg nickserv register PASSWORD
[08:30] <AlexC_> ubuntuuser: this is Ubuntusupport, not freenode/irc support
[08:30] <JAyRULE> AlexC_ okay, how do i get it back to what it was before... where it shows xchat and firefox at the bottom...
[08:30] <ubuntuuser> ah, i know, didn't know where else to go
[08:30] <mattk02> gaten: i know i had a bad drive before and i used some windows repair tool that fixed some bad sectors and my hard drive was good again
[08:30] <ExploWare[NL] > gaten: is it posible I need to (re)start udev or do a mount of my /dev from the livecd to the /dev for my chroot?
[08:30] <munkay> LinTux: try mysql-client. its command line.
[08:30] <AlexC_> LinTux: I'd say phpMyAdmin
[08:30] <n2diy> Riyonuk: DNS is a network service, it is external to your install, does 6.10 work otherwise?
[08:30] <Riyonuk> Yup
[08:30] <AlexC_> JAyRULE: that'll be your Window list applet,
[08:31] <n2diy> Well fire it up, and lets setup for DNS servers.
[08:31] <Riyonuk> Just internet is extremely slow
[08:31] <Riyonuk> I gotta re-download it
[08:31] <gaten> mattk02:  hmm. what are u trying to format the fs as? fat32?
[08:31] <AlexC_> JAyRULE: right click on the Panel, Add To Panel -> Window List
[08:31] <JAyRULE> AlexC_ ahhhh! okay got it! thanks man!
[08:31] <AlexC_> JAyRULE: your welcome =)
[08:31] <n2diy> Riyonuk: Without DNS the internet won't work, but we can set it up.
[08:31] <LinTux> alexC & munkay, Many thanks, happy new year
[08:32] <AlexC_> LinTux: happy new year =)
[08:32] <gaten> ExploWare[NL] :  ooh chroot. um, that's probably the problem.

[08:34] <gaten> mattk02:  hmm. remote repair sounds like a bad idea w/ hdds, but ok. any linux cd will have fdisk
[08:34] <ExploWare[NL] > ANYONE: how do I populate /dev/ in a chroot?
[08:35] <Riyonuk> n2diy, exactly...so help me from windows I guess because I cant boot into linux and get on xchat
[08:35] <munkay> pradeepvglughyd: boot using a live cd and re-install grub
[08:35] <idlemind> riyonuk: good chroot howto: search openssh's mailing lists for chroot
[08:35] <mattk02> gaten: what about ubuntu cd ?
[08:35] <n2diy> Riyonuk: I don't know how to do it in windows, I haven't used that in seven years.
[08:35] <AlexC_> LinTux: are you trying to setup a LAMP server?
[08:35] <LinTux> alexc: that worked fine, but what username and password do i use
[08:35] <gaten> mattk02:  yep
[08:35] <AlexC_> LinTux: hold on,
[08:36] <idlemind> riyonuk: i forgot to bookmark it otherwise i would just give it to you ^^
[08:36] <mattk02> gaten: run it in ubuntu then?
[08:36] <christian1222> i have a problem with using the 6.10 boot disk on my laptop. When i put the disk in and boot the computer, it automatically says this is the live cd for Ubuntu, and never shows me the menu to install ubuntu
[08:36] <gaten> mattk02:  yep that'll work. just make sure you don't delete the wrong partition
[08:36] <frying_fish> christian1222: thats because to install from that disk you have to launch the install thing from the desktop when it has booted
[08:36] <fmachado> ExploWare[NL] , you should follow this HOWTO: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24575

[08:37] <K1GPL> i just changed monitors, and the previous settings were ouit of range for the new monitor.  what do i do to adapt to the new monitor?
[08:37] <n2diy> Riyonuk: If you can boot into Ubuntu, click on system-admin-networking, select dial up connection, and then add the new info., you'll need to contact your ISP to find out what there DNS servers are.
[08:37] <kadk> tritium, you know what im talkin about?

[08:38] <jef_> Indeed;)
[08:38] <frying_fish> christian1222: for the "default" desktop cd, not the alternate one, then yes.
[08:38] <n2diy> Riyonuk: Ok, there is a network connection there too, but I'm not familiar with that.
[08:38] <K1GPL> fmachado:  there isnt an auto configure / hardware detection service i can run?
[08:38] <noelferreira> lupine_85: can i use open drivers from ATI and AIGLX with my graphic card (ATI Radeon Xpress 200 M) ?

[08:38] <mattk02> ubuntu latest
[08:39] <tritium> tux3: #ubuntu-es
[08:39] <christian1222> frying_fish: does the alternate allow me to install without booting from live cd?
[08:39] <fmachado> K1GPL, sorry. I dont know the "easy" way :p
[08:39] <siv0x> christian1222: yes just boot the LiveCD, and on your desktop will be an "Install" icon, click that - then everything is pretty much step by step.
[08:39] <mattk02> gaten: ubuntu latest
[08:39] <steigerwald> hey
[08:39] <frying_fish> christian1222: yes, but if you aleady have the live cd, save the dwonload and just install from that.
[08:39] <steigerwald> just wondering where i extract perl files if i have python2.5 installed

[08:40] <n2diy> K1GPL: You'll need the make and model of your video card too.
[08:40] <steigerwald> snowkrash:you have to partition your drive
[08:40] <snowkrash> i can watch the items but it tells me im not the owner or dont have rights to save
[08:40] <snowkrash> another items
[08:40] <siv0x> christian1222: Np : )
[08:40] <snowkrash> why partition?
[08:40] <steigerwald> i though you ment on the install
[08:40] <AlexC_> snowkrash: is the hard driev NTFS or FAT32?
[08:40] <gaten> mattk02:  fdisk -l doesnt show it? try it manually. like fdisk /dev/hda
[08:40] <K1GPL> n2diy   the video card hasn't changed, i will just leave it as is in xorg now
[08:41] <snowkrash> yes
[08:41] <emo_> how can I update my system for 6.10 using the terminal...?
[08:41] <snowkrash> it is
[08:41] <fmachado> K1GPL, IIRC dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg may help
[08:41] <AlexC_> snowkrash: well which lol, NTFS or FAT32
[08:41] <snowkrash> ntfs
[08:41] <Riyonuk> plyp_pir8signul, right click it, make sure the checks are there

[08:41] <AlexC_> snowkrash: ok, NTFS write support is...well, unstable - it's best if teh hard drive was FAT32,
[08:41] <n2diy> K1GPL: You will be prompted for it, I don't know whether the old info. is retained or not?
[08:41] <plyp_pir8signul> Riyonuk: ya, it has "Enable Networking" and it's checked

[08:42] <AlexC_> steigerwald: you can read from a NTFS drive

[08:43] <steigerwald> read/writeable is what i meant :/
[08:43] <plyp_pir8signul> Riyonuk: any idea where NM reads the info from?
[08:43] <deepsa> you can write to ntfs too with the new ntfs-3g
[08:43] <Riyonuk> hmm
[08:43] <Riyonuk> no :p
[08:43] <noelferreira> should i try it lupine_85?

[08:53] <mattk02> n2diy:  i got my hd to show in fdisk what should i do just format it ?
[08:54] <ExploWare[NL] > fmachado: see your private
[08:55] <mattk02> gaten: you there??
[08:55] <monk_rock> how do i configure samba so i can see the network printer?
[08:56] <fmachado> !swat
[08:56] <mattk02> anyone there that knows fdisk?
[08:56] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[08:57] <mnoir> mattk02: ya might try just askin'
[08:57] <fmachado> mattk02, use cfdisk
[08:57] <mattk02> fmachado: whats the difference
[08:57] <fmachado> mattk02, execute and you'll see
[08:57] <mattk02> well my hard drive has 30801 cylinders and fdisk said it should be 1024
[08:58] <mnoir> mattk02: i think it says that it MIGHT be a problem.  Am i mistaken?
[08:58] <fmachado> mattk02, cfdisk is a curses-based disk partition table manipulator for Linux. cfdisk tries to read the current partition table from the disk drive. It is functionally identical to fdisk, but with a graphical user interface (GUI). Although the GUI is intended to make cfdisk easier to use, some system administrators prefer the straight-forward approach of fdisk.
[08:58] <mattk02> well it explains why i cant see my hard drive in xp install or format it proper;y
[08:59] <mattk02> fmachado: enough said i like gui
[08:59] <mattk02> cfdisk doesnt see my other hard drive
[09:00] <kitche> mattk02: it won't unless you tell xfdisk about it cfdisk /dev/<drive>
[09:00] <mattk02> thought so thx kitche
[09:00] <fmachado> mattk02 http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/IBM7248-HOWTO/cfdisk.html
[09:01] <Czarnas>  /msg NickServ set passwd
[09:01] <mattk02> so should i delete the partition, create then format or just format?
[09:01] <kitche> xfdisk/cfdisk
[09:02] <siv0x> Okay, I installed Steam (on wine) My games are now updating.  but yet when I type any wine cmd such as wine run it gives me an error like this: wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\run.exe": Module not found
[09:02] <hav0x> in ubuntu (livecd) what writes the xorg.conf every time it boots and how can i tweak it? i'm remastering a 6.10 livecd and cant find it anywhere.
[09:02] <siv0x> Anyone know how to fix this?
[09:02] <netboix> Could anyone help me on where to start if my 6.10 system is just locking up and freezing (i dual boot and windows can run fine) it happens at random times and nothing seems to be triggering (that i the beginner can seem to figure out) how or what should i do to find the root of the cause?
[09:02] <_Adramelech_> Siv0x: wine nameofyourfile.exe
[09:02] <n2diy_> My box just crashed, how can I diagnose why?
[09:03] <_Adramelech_> n2diy: Reading logs on /var/log
[09:03] <rambo3> netboix, check your logs
[09:03] <netboix> rambo3: and what would i be looking for?
[09:03] <DigitalNinja> What's the best way to get/install libdvdcss and W32codec
[09:03] <siv0x> Adramelech: Yes.. but what would it be if i want to just tamper with wine?
[09:03] <AlexC_> DigitalNinja: sudo apt-get install libdvdcss w32codec
[09:03] <fmachado> hav0x, http://www.google.com/search?q=customize+ubuntu+livecd
[09:03] <mattk02> fmachado: should i delete my partition the create and format or just format it?
[09:03] <rambo3> netboix, errors most probobly acpi
[09:03] <KenSentMe> How can i see what app uses a certain port?
[09:03] <oxygenthief> can anyone tell me if it is possible to install the via/s3g drivers
[09:03] <ExploWare[NL] > fmachado: I pasted my 'mount' from my chroot aswell as my livecd-boot output in a private window
[09:04] <_Dan> hi, i just installed ubuntu yesterday and tried mounting one of my sata drives, and it says that I don't have the permission necessary to view its contents. i'm guessing it's because root owns the folder?
[09:04] <hav0x> fmachado g thx
[09:04] <hav0x> like i didn't do that already
[09:04] <fmachado> ExploWare[NL] , I didn't receive anything :(
[09:04] <netboix> rambo3: so the acpid file?
[09:04] <dimissss> hi
[09:04] <fmachado> ExploWare[NL] , http://pastebin.ca
[09:04] <DigitalNinja> AlexC_: You can only do that if your sources list has a repository that includes libdvdcss w32codec
[09:04] <hav0x> my issue is with the X.org configuration onboot
[09:04] <GhostFreeman> I don't see the Disk Manager in Gnome
[09:04] <rambo3> netboix, syslog , check dmesg
[09:05] <ExploWare[NL] > oh, pastebin, I didn't know that, I did it in a IRC private, but privatebin will come now :D
[09:05] <fmachado> mattk02, do you wanna change partition type (e.g. from NTFS to FAT32)?
[09:05] <oxygenthief> can anyone tell me if it is possible to install the via/s3g drivers for my video card
[09:05] <_Adramelech_> GhostFreeman: are you on edgy?
[09:05] <netboix> rambo3: and what should i be looking for in it?
[09:06] <n2diy_> _Adramelech_: The last entry in messages before the crash is "failed op code was : unknown".  Not very useful. :/
[09:06] <mattk02> fmachado: its fat32 id prefer ntfs but i have to get the hd to function properly lol
[09:06] <kitche> oxygenthief: xorg has via video drivers
[09:06] <_Adramelech_> n2diy: :/
[09:06] <dimissss> i have got a problem, at the moment i have got ubuntu on my hdd... i want to uninstall linux and then install windows to install ubuntu again, my problem is now that win installer cant find my hdd because of the ext3 partition does someone know a sollution?
[09:06] <x-r00t-x> r
[09:06] <Chrisid> I want to use the -S option of mkfs.ext2 to recover an accidentally formatted ext2 hd to ntfs, i need to 'specify the correct filesystem  block size', how could i find that out?
[09:06] <davidwinter> hi all
[09:06] <_Adramelech_> n2diy: when exactly the system crashed?
[09:07] <n2diy_> steigerwald: you still want to play with perl?
[09:07] <netboix> dimissss: you shouldn be able to use the ubuntu partitioner to just wipe the hd and leave unpartitioned
[09:07] <ExploWare[NL] > fmachado: its there
[09:07] <DigitalNinja> what's the story on packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf/
[09:07] <GhostFreeman> _Adramelech_: yes
[09:07] <davidwinter> can anyone recommend an app that I can extract episodes from a DVD I've made into separate video files?
[09:07] <davidwinter> on my Mac, I use Handbrake
[09:07] <fmachado> mattk02, if you will not change the partition type then just format :)
[09:07] <davidwinter> but I'm looking for something similar
[09:08] <dimissss> netboix but my hdd is then ext3 and windows install cd doesnt recognize the hdd
[09:08] <mattk02> fmachado: i got that done but should i mark the hard drive as bootable or no?
[09:08] <_Adramelech_> GhostFreeman: The disk manager on preferences menu got removed on edgy.
[09:08] <fmachado> ExploWare[NL] , now I see :)
[09:08] <GhostFreeman> ah. I see
[09:08] <GhostFreeman> where is it located now?
[09:08] <netboix> dimissss: you should be able to wipe all partitions with gpartition i think
[09:08] <_Adramelech_> Ghostfreeman: I think you can get it from repos, or use disk usage analyzers on accesories menu
[09:08] <Zalbor> I'm having trouble with ubuntu.beryl-project.org. My web browser can find it, but I can't ping it and synaptic can't find it either (and it needs to). All over sites I tried are OK...
[09:08] <GhostFreeman> thanks
[09:08] <Zalbor> The site's owner said it works fine, and other people have no problem either.
[09:09] <plyp_pir8signul> ok, if anyone wants to know why networks don't show up in NetworkManager, it's because i took out the "auto eth0" line in /etc/network/interfaces.  After that, NetworkManager ignores it until you put the "auto" part back in
[09:09] <dimissss> netboix the problem is, that i cant download gparted because i dont have internet with that comp :s
[09:09] <kakado>  davidwinter : vlc and mplayer
[09:09] <netboix> dimissss do you not have a ubutu install cd?
[09:10] <kakado> davidwinter: but I don't know Handbrake
[09:10] <kitche> Zalbor: works here your sources are probably set up wrong
[09:10] <qwertydrow> Is there any way to manually change the DMA mode on a SATA drive? (I am having some stability issues)
[09:10] <dimissss> netboix sure i have
[09:10] <Zalbor> kitche, if that was it I'd be able to ping it, no? And I said I can't
[09:10] <netboix> use that boot into the live cd mode and then use gpartion via that
[09:11] <dimissss> netboix is it included in the cd?
[09:11] <netboix> yes
[09:11] <dimissss> i have got 6.06
[09:11] <kitche> Zalbor: then it's your network we can't really help you with that when I ping it it returns limitless.lupine.me.uk
[09:11] <netboix> im sure there is an easier way to get to it.. i just run the installer again
[09:11] <netboix> its on thelive cd though
[09:11] <dimissss> okay i will try it
[09:11] <netboix> im not too sure about it being on 6.06 i can not tell you for sure
[09:11] <dimissss> brb
[09:11] <cvasilak> hi there, i am looking for text encoding tool that will convert a series of files from one encoding say ISO8857-1 to UTF-8? any such a tool?
[09:11] <Zalbor> kitche: If it's in my network, why can my web browser see the site?
[09:12] <kitche> Zalbor: a router between you and the site is probably set up to block pings
[09:12] <Chrisid>  I was installing Windows on my computer, and I accidentally formatted the wrong Ext2 drive to NTFS, somebody told me that i could run mkfs.ext2 -S on that hd and possibly recover the data, I'm looking at the mkfs.ext2 man page and for -S it says 'It is critical to specify the correct  filesystem  block size when using this option, or there is no chance of recovery.', how can i find the correct filesystem block-size?
[09:12] <Zalbor> Aha...
[09:12] <Zalbor> Well, I guess I can't fix it then.
[09:12] <steigerwald> question: i go to install vmware workstation on my ubuntu and it says that a previous version was detected, but i already uninstalled the previous one. any solutions?
[09:13] <theflyingfool> where can i go to find out about permissions
[09:14] <dmc_> How can i save a file while using VI after editing it?
[09:14] <kitche> dmc_: press esc then :wq will save and quit

[09:16] <netboix> What should i be looking for in my logs if my omputer is looking up?
[09:16] <kitche> netboix: any errors
[09:17] <netboix> ok this may seem like adumb question... but how are errors outputed?
[09:17] <ExploWare[NL] > fmachado: strange, I use gaim, its included in the livecd, maybe their IRC PM's dont work right

[09:19] <ExploWare[NL] > fmachado: (09:18:23 PM) kitche: ExploWare[NL] : you have to be identified on freenode to use pm's
[09:19] <n2diy> EDinNY: Right click on it, and select eject.
[09:19] <kitche> EDinNY: no just unplug it or run the umount /dev/partition
[09:19] <EDinNY> sovieticool: Did you know this is the birthday of the formation of the USSR>
[09:19] <DaSudO> i want to get engage working on e17, can someone help me plz ?

[09:21] <Cypher> you'll find the sol
[09:21] <_Adramelech_> Lunch: using Beryl?
[09:21] <EDinNY> n2diy: can't just unplug it because it is a mounted partition.  To insure that all data is written to it and that there are no data errors, you need to unmount it like any filesystem.
[09:21] <EDinNY> thanks for the help
[09:22] <EDinNY> n2diy: is that a callsign?
[09:22] <n2diy> EDinNY: Right click on it, and select eject.
[09:22] <EDinNY> got that, thanks

[09:25] <Lunch> yep linuxguy
[09:25] <AlexC_> thelinuxguy: yes
[09:25] <Cypher> dam
[09:25] <Cypher> i not ready
[09:25] <thelinuxguy> thx, Lunch, thx Alex
[09:25] <Cypher> can we delay it
[09:26] <Cypher> :((
[09:26] <Lunch> I gotta say, of all the linux I've tried over the years, I'm probably having the most fun with this distro.
[09:26] <EDinNY> n2diy, I am using konquerer and there is no eject option when you right click...what should I be using?
[09:26] <n2diy> Cypher: right click on your clock, and select adjust date and time.
[09:26] <AlexC_> Lunch: yep! it's definatly a Linux for Humans!
[09:26] <thelinuxguy> to Lunch, same thing here ! :-)
[09:26] <THEHso> question, is there a livecd of some form of linux that contains an app that'll show you info about your CPU?(e.g., Socket?)
[09:26] <Cypher> n2diy: wish if life was this easy ;)
[09:27] <eimajenthat> howdy, I've got 2 systems that connect to the internet through a router.  Wired.  Both are able to access the internet normally, but one cannot access certain sites, including distrowatch.com.  I tried pinging distrowatch, and got "no route to host."  Then I pinged the IP address for distrowatch, and also got "no route to host."  It's not the router, because the other system has none of these troubles.  Any thoughts?
[09:27] <sovieticool> i hear is a version 7 or ubuntu ?
[09:27] <n2diy> EDinNY: go to your desktop, the disk should be an icon there.
[09:27] <lawl> http://encyclopediadramatica.com/images/2/2e/Ubuntu.gif
[09:27] <AlexC_> THEHso: I don't think it will tell you what socket, but if you can get hte cpu name/model and then do some googling, you'll find out what socket it is
[09:27] <^Aftermath^> nice.
[09:27] <^Aftermath^> lovely picture.
[09:27] <K1GPL> i forgot to say thanks, but the dpkg-reconfigure worked splendidly.  i didn't have to tell it anything.
[09:27] <Cypher> is there gonna be a 7 distro
[09:27] <n2diy> Cypher: Roger on that.
[09:27] <Cypher> 10 is fine with me
[09:28] <Lunch> anyone here use Eclipse?
[09:28] <dimissss> netboix there isnt gparted
[09:28] <AlexC_> Cypher: a 7 distro? do you mean Ubuntu 7.04 - Fiesty Fawn ?
[09:28] <eimajenthat> n2diy: When will 7 be released?
[09:28] <lawl> http://encyclopediadramatica.com/images/2/2e/Ubuntu.gif

[09:29] <THEHso> AlexC_ - is there an app similar to CPU-Z, or perhaps Everest, native to Linux, or perhaps a way to get those to work via WINE preloaded onto a livecd?
[09:29] <n2diy> Cypher: what are ya on now?
[09:30] <AlexC_> christian1222: what is your motherboard,
[09:30] <lawl> THEHso what cpu does he have

[09:30] <eitan> Hi guys.  I am running Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy.  I need to know what is loaded differently when doing a log-out/log-in than doing a boot up, since my touchpad settings go into effect after a log-out/log-in but not after a reboot.  Thanks!
[09:30] <n2diy> Cypher: Cool, at least you aren't on the dark side.
[09:30] <lawl> mine had  aheat problem because the fan was on wrong
[09:30] <christian1222> AlexC_: i have no idea, its an acer travelmate, but i was able to install ubuntu 5.10 from the cd a few weeks ago, but for some reason 6.10 from the disk is giving me all sorts of trouble
[09:30] <Cypher> n2diy: i need more
[09:30] <dimissss> is there i way to format my hdd with ntfs in ubuntu 6.06?
[09:31] <Cypher> n2diy what dark side

[09:31] <dmc_> How can you install Macromedia Flash Player on Ubuntu?
[09:31] <n2diy> Cypher: Micro$oft
[09:31] <jeeves_Moss> all:  is there any program that will clean out my HDD of the unsued packages (installers), and defrag my drive?  I've been trying to survive on a very small partition for a wile now, and it's filling up
[09:31] <kitche> dmc_:sudo apt-get install flash-nonfree
[09:31] <lawl> ext3 doesnt frag
[09:31] <AlexC_> jeeves_Moss: no need to defrag

[09:31] <dimissss> kitche how to uninstall ubuntu then?
[09:32] <jeeves_Moss> AlexC:  do you know the command to delete all the installer packages?
[09:32] <lawl> format the drive
[09:32] <kitche> dimissss: easy just install windows
[09:32] <dmc_> kitche:E: Couldn't find package flash-nonfree
[09:32] <lawl> fastest way
[09:32] <n2diy> Cypher: it is hard to avoid.
[09:32] <eimajenthat> dmc_: For some reason the apt package didn't work for me, but I came to a page requiring flash in Firefox, and let it try to install the plugin and it worked.

[09:32] <ExploWare[NL] > fmachado: still waiting for you... :) any luck yet?
[09:32] <kitche> dimissss: it should should just say unknown partition or soemthing to that effect
[09:33] <lawl> dimissss boot off ubuntu live cd, format the drive to ntfs
[09:33] <dimissss> kitche it says that i dont have a hdd
[09:33] <lawl> ^^^^
[09:33] <n2diy> Cypher: good luck wth that.
[09:33] <dimissss> kitche and then i have to abbort the install
[09:33] <jeeves_Moss> all:  is there a way to combine the differne't files that Kismet makes?  I'd like to use the map program, but I have a bunch of small files
[09:33] <lawl> dimissss: boot off live cd and format it
[09:33] <lawl> hello
[09:33] <lawl> am i fuckign invisible or somethign
[09:34] <dimissss> lawl live cd formats and then installs ubuntu directly
[09:34] <lawl> so use the partition manager
[09:34] <dimissss> ?
[09:34] <lawl> or use a real distro
[09:34] <christian1222> AlexC_: it says something about needing to configure the PCMCIA
[09:34] <eimajenthat>  I've got 2 systems that connect to the internet through a router.  Wired.  Both are able to access the internet normally, but one cannot access certain sites, including distrowatch.com.  I tried pinging distrowatch, and got "no route to host."  Then I pinged the IP address for distrowatch, and also got "no route to host."  It's not the router, because the other system has none of these troubles.  What could cause that?
[09:34] <christian1222> or something
[09:34] <dimissss> i dont get it lawl
[09:34] <pianoboy3333> What kind of archives are .dmgs? I know they are mac install files, but usually they're just like zip files or sompin...
[09:34] <lawl> or boot off a partition manager.. like bootit
[09:34] <Cypher> n2diy: any good books lately
[09:34] <AlexC_> christian1222: do you have another CD Drive you can try?
[09:35] <christian1222> AlexC_: no, its an external, but i just put in 5.10, and it worked fine, detected the cdrom and everything
[09:35] <kitche> pianoboy3333: well nothing does .dmgs but a mac I have tried
[09:35] <n2diy> eimajenthat: check your hosts.allow and hosts.deny files.
[09:35] <sc0tt> um
[09:36] <sc0tt> whats the best way to remotely use a ubuntu desktop?

[09:39] <n2diy> Rug: are they in the same directory?
[09:39] <wheels3572> Anyone help me with a complex sound issue.  I have no sound when playing through media players but if I do a test sound through Gaim it works

[09:41] <eitan> Hi guys.  I am running Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy.  I need to know what is loaded differently when doing a log-out/log-in than doing a boot up, since my touchpad settings go into effect after a log-out/log-in but not after a reboot.  Thanks!
[09:44] <thelinuxguy> eitan, do you have automatic login enabled in kdm ?
[09:44] <eitan> no
[09:44] <eitan> i log in manually after every reboot
[09:45] <jevangelo> what about restricted formats for 6.10?
[09:45] <thelinuxguy> than there supossed to be no difference
[09:45] <jevangelo> i remember seeing a page for that, but i can't find it now
[09:45] <Grok_> trying to install ati driver for my presario laptop. the tech specs on it simply list the card as "ATI MOBILITY RADEON 4X AGP". ati doesn't seem to have a driver listed for it for either win or linux. any suggestions on which one i should pick?
[09:45] <lupine_85> !grub
[09:45] <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
[09:45] <Dorrinal> I'm getting an error when trying to build memtest86 on Ubunto 6.10.  Can anyone here help?
[09:45] <eitan> can you give me literature about how xorg.conf get's loaded?
[09:45] <el_cubano> Hello.  I am trying to install the latest Ubuntu on my macbook.  When I boot the installer, every keystroke is echoed twice.  Anyone know how to fix?
[09:45] <eitan> maybe I'm doing something wrong
[09:45] <JAyRULE> hrmm... how do you connect to another network on xchat, without disconnecting from the current network?  (on mIRC, it was "/server -m <network>", but it doesnt seem to work.)
[09:45] <eitan> but the touchpad settings work only after i log-out and log-in
[09:46] <Grok_> JAyRULE, click XChat -> New -> Server Tab
[09:46] <thelinuxguy> eitan, that's weird....
[09:47] <eitan> yeah
[09:47] <ExploWare[NL] > fmachado: didnt work :(
[09:47] <eitan> when i reboot the ps/2 mous settings get loaded
[09:47] <_Adramelech_> eitan: ubuntu version?
[09:47] <eitan> 6.10
[09:47] <JAyRULE> Grok_ there is no "New" in the toolbar
[09:47] <el_cubano> Any suggestions?
[09:48] <ernz> OK, this is areally REALLY starting to wind me up now. Can someone please tell me a way of converting a video file into a 3gp movie I could watch on my phone?
[09:48] <Grok_> JAyRULE, try hitting Ctrl-T then
[09:48] <ernz> Any video with a GUI will do.
[09:48] <_Adramelech_> eitan: theres a prob with old "module loader at startup" thats why edgy got a new one
[09:48] <eitan> maybe there's a conflict between the ps/2 and touchpad settings
[09:48] <JAyRULE> Grok_ doesnt work either
[09:48] <_Adramelech_> eitan: can be that, and depends on the order some drivers are loaded
[09:48] <eitan> where can i check that
[09:48] <_Adramelech_> eitan: cant imagine other reason
[09:48] <eitan> the order of modules
[09:49] <ernz> A decent video converter for Linux?
[09:49] <n2diy> eitan: lsmod
[09:49] <ernz> Everything seems to use shell commands, which are so irritating to use.
[09:49] <_Adramelech_> eitan: Not sure, /etc/modules? do some research on edgy specs and the new thing at boot up :P
[09:50] <eitan> what am i looking at in lsmod?
[09:50] <n2diy> eitan: your modules
[09:50] <eitan> i mean
[09:50] <eitan> what am i looking for
[09:50] <vermoos> evning
[09:51] <Dislexic> I read online I could possibly get help with an ATI video driver problem here
[09:51] <eitan> evdev, psmouse?
[09:51] <vermoos> anyone else have probs with sound drivers on dapper - mine keep on dropping out?
[09:51] <n2diy> eitan: I don't know, you wanted to know how to look at your modules, and that is how you do it.
[09:52] <vermoos> ... as in when i start another app the sound goes dead
[09:52] <sharperguy> can anyone help me use vlc to convert a .m4v file (ipod video) to and mpeg or an avi?
[09:52] <Dislexic> if anyone can help, I have an ATI 9700 pro... and I cannot get the 3d portion working, Im on ubuntu edgy
[09:53] <_Adramelech_> vermoos: the first app you run get audio? no matter whats the first app?
[09:53] <JAyRULE> how do you connect to another network on xchat, without disconnecting from the current network?  (on mIRC, it was "/server -m <network>", but it doesnt seem to work.)
[09:54] <vermoos> _Adramelech_: usually i'm listening to something on utube, or something trivial, and when i start pretty much any app the sound dies and i have to restarte
[09:54] <vermoos> sound drivers on dapper are v fragile!
[09:54] <_Adramelech_> vermoos: You have to tell alsa de new app dont need capture access
[09:54] <Valmarko> plugins for Gaim. Where can I get mor ?
[09:54] <Dislexic> anyone there?
[09:55] <_Adramelech_> vermoos: one sec i tell you how

[09:59] <Dislexic> heh
[09:59] <_Adramelech_> vermoos: is the same problem you have
[09:59] <_Adramelech_> vermoos: your telling alsa the ap your trying to run dont need to capture sound
[09:59] <vermoos> _Adramelech_: gotcha

[10:01] <JAyRULE> i know my sound card works because i stream radio stations
[10:02] <vermoos> mattk02: cylinders?
[10:03] <Giraffe> uh, i have a stupid noob question D:
[10:04] <Valmarko> I love GNOME !! -- I know ... it's off-topic. Eh eh :) Happy New Year , Everybody !
[10:04] <Giraffe> what file(s) do i edit to get commands running on boot?
[10:04] <vermoos> Giraffe: don't stick your neck out!
[10:04] <alexi5> hello
[10:04] <fyrzen> those in /etc/init.d/ i think
[10:04] <MacMatt> Hello!
[10:04] <snowkrash> btw does i386_64 mean for 64bit cpus?
[10:04] <Giraffe> i'll give it a shot, fyrzen, thanks :D
[10:04] <ar2k7> what xorg driver should I use for radeon 9600 xt?
[10:04] <kitche> snowkrash: it means x86_64
[10:05] <snowkrash> ktiche
[10:05] <snowkrash> that does have nothing to do with 64bit?
[10:05] <snowkrash> for what does this exactly stand for
[10:05] <kitche> snowkrash: nope x86_64 is amd64 and the new intels
[10:05] <snowkrash> ok so i have a old intel
[10:05] <snowkrash> ahem
[10:05] <snowkrash> amd
[10:06] <snowkrash> 1800+
[10:06] <Music_Shuffle> Then use 386.
[10:06] <alexi5> if i have a Celeron 2.2GHZ system with 768MB ram . iw want to know if having the desktop running on a ubuntu sever affect the performance of the  running mission critical network apps
[10:06] <snowkrash> ok
[10:06] <kakado>  Giraffe : you can add your boot stuff in /etc/rc.local
[10:06] <Giraffe> actually, on second thought, this might not work...
[10:06] <Dislexic> is it possible someone could help me with this ati problem?
[10:06] <ernz> Hello, can someone please tell me how to install the good version of ffmpeg? From what I am reading there is a watered down, more legit version an a "CVS" one. How can I upgrade, help greatly appreciated.
[10:07] <Giraffe> see, i'm trying to get 3ddesk to get snapshots of all the desktops on boot
[10:07] <fyrzen> oh i had that a while ago
[10:07] <Fah> anyone know how to get alt+tab working again in gnome?
[10:08] <fyrzen> do man 3ddesk to get the command for the snapshots then add that command to System>Preferences>Sessions>Startup Programs
[10:08] <Giraffe> gotcha
[10:08] <jevangelo> how do you play .mov files in totem
[10:09] <vermoos> jevangelo: almost certainly use automatix2 to auto-configure totem
[10:09] <n2diy> !automatix
[10:09] <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.

[10:10] <n2diy> !automatix2
[10:10] <ernz> Please, someone this is driving me nuts here!
[10:10] <vermoos> n2diy: aha - thats probably the cause of my sound drivers! hang on a sec
[10:11] <cowbud> ernz: what are you trying to do?
[10:11] <vermoos> n2diy: http://getautomatix.com/wiki/index.php?title=Installation&Itemid=38
[10:11] <ernz> cowbud: Get a version of ffmpeg with xvid support so I can convert a video file to 3gp
[10:12] <Giraffe> well that didn't work D:
[10:12] <vermoos> n2diy: oh, and you'll be breaking the law
[10:12] <vermoos> ... if you're a us citizen
[10:12] <cowbud> ernz: and the one you have doesn't support it? and have you tried avidemux?
[10:12] <ernz> cowbud: 2 days of searching now has driven me to the brink of using windows again, it is really starting to wind me up. First to find out that bluetooth doesn't work properly on Gnome, and now I can't convert videos
[10:12] <n2diy> vermoos: what?
[10:13] <cowbud> ernz: complaining won't get your answer quicker or "threatening to change" that is how linux is some things take longer if that isn't for you then it isn't..
[10:13] <ernz> cowbud, Would there be a way of setting the outputted video SIZE in Avidemux?
[10:13] <cowbud> ernz: yeah avidemux is essentially virtual dub for linux
[10:13] <n2diy> vermoos: Why would I want to install it, when ubotu says it breaks things?
[10:13] <vermoos> n2diy: automatix2 installs software that can play patent-encumbered software, apparently... not that i've ever used it
[10:13] <Giraffe> the workspaces are still coming up as grey boxes when i log in, even with 3ddesk --acquire=100 added
[10:13] <kitche> !bluetooth|ernz
[10:13] <ubotu> ernz: For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[10:13] <gregcha117> kaffeine will no longer open for me can anyone help me get it running?
[10:14] <ernz> kitche: I followed that exactly to the letter and got an error on the 2nd howto part
[10:14] <killown> how I install kde 4 in ubuntu edgy?
[10:14] <Giraffe> why didn't you just install kubuntu?
[10:14] <cowbud> ernz: lets do one thing at a time..so install avidemux and take a look at that I think you will find it a good solution..
[10:14] <_Adramelech_> is kd4 out yet?
[10:14] <bruenig> kde4 is really alpha
[10:15] <Giraffe> ooh
[10:15] <ernz> cowbud: Automatix took care of avidemux, I am trying it now. Rebuilding VBR map as we speak

[10:15] <ubotu> pedro: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[10:15] <Dislexic> plz help, Ive been working on this for 3 days now
[10:15] <gregcha117> can someone help me fix kaffeine :P?
[10:16] <vermoos> n2diy: i have found that it *might* have broken my sound drivers, on maybe some occasions, but apart from that, its better than looking at porn
[10:16] <pedro> ive a problem with the sound in my ubuntu
[10:16] <_Adramelech_> killown: alpha software = get it from CVS and suffer building it
[10:16] <pedro> ive no sound ?
[10:16] <Fah> Anyone have any ideas how to get keyboard shortcuts like alt+tab working in gnome/metacity again?
[10:16] <killown> pk
[10:16] <artbird309> davidwinter: dvd::rip is good
[10:16] <Giraffe> pedro, try updating alsa
[10:16] <jeeves_Moss> can someone help me with Kismet's gpsmap?
[10:16] <vermoos> pedro: do you use automatix?
[10:16] <spacing_guild> anyone know how to configure xine to be the default firefox media player?
[10:16] <bruenig> Fah, system>preferences>keyboard
[10:16] <cowbud> fah: System->preferences->keyboard shortcuts
[10:16] <pedro> with apt-get?
[10:16] <davidwinter> thanks artbird309, I'll give that a shot
[10:16] <Fah> bruenig: I've checked thos settings and they dont seem to work
[10:16] <Giraffe> apt-get or synaptic
[10:16] <pedro> yes, i use automatix2

[10:17] <Giraffe> D:
[10:17] <ernz> I stand by Automatix and a windows -> linux convert. Wouldn't have switched without it.
[10:17] <vermoos> ubotu: thank you obutu, but you fail to mention that ubuntu multimedia softare doesn't work out the box!
[10:18] <Fah> interesting. my alt key is sending <alt><mod2> instead of just <alt>
[10:18] <bruenig> vermoos, you can install it without automatix, it isn't difficult at all, and no breakage which is a good thing
[10:18] <Fah> any ideas how to change that?
[10:18] <vermoos> bruenig: i was always confused about how many sound -drivers i would need
[10:19] <linux_any_1> I have had a problem with rebooting for serveral version of Ubuntu and Red Hat. If I reboot not shutdown my laptop locks up after clearing the screen and the CAPSLOCK light just stays on.
[10:19] <vermoos> bruenig: how do you know which ones?
[10:19] <varsendaggr> hey are there any job costing programs for linux?
[10:19] <linux_any_1> +i
[10:19] <bruenig> I don't know sound drivers, my sound worked out of the box
[10:20] <Valmarko> Nothing like stability , security... I think there's only one main problem in Linux : drivers for all kinds of multimedia ( free drivers). But I believe that, patience, know-how and cooperation... this problem will be solved sooner or later.
[10:20] <vermoos> bruenig: like i've installed realplayer before, without using automatix, and it didn't work
[10:20] <n2diy> linux_any_1: I have the same problem here on my workstation, I just avoid rebooting.
[10:20] <bruenig> vermoos, you installed it wrong
[10:20] <_Adramelech_> Fah: maybe Xmodmap
[10:20] <DigitalNinja> I'm thinking of using mplay insted of totem and gstreamer. Anyone have any thoughts on that?
[10:21] <_Adramelech_> Fah: but i have never used it bofero
[10:21] <Dislexic> My ati drivers are showing mesa in fglrx
[10:21] <DigitalNinja> mplayer
[10:21] <gregcha117> i used sudo apt-get install to install kaffeine and it doesnt seem to open, nothinghappens when i click on the launcher
[10:21] <vermoos> burenig: i still dig ubuntu, yeah! :)
[10:21] <bruenig> vermoos, all automatix does there is add a repo and then apt-get insall realplay, you can do that, very easy
[10:21] <bruenig> gregcha117, open a terminal, and do "kaffeine"
[10:21] <macrain> good evening
[10:22] <sovieticool> i have a little problem
[10:22] <sovieticool> i have a cordless genius mouse
[10:22] <gregcha117> Bruenig: nothing happens...
[10:22] <vermoos> bruenig: still, i hope ubotu dies in a very large car accident
[10:22] <bruenig> gregcha117, there is not output at all?
[10:22] <sovieticool> and he don't work
[10:22] <bruenig> !bot | vermoos
[10:22] <ubotu> vermoos: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[10:22] <sovieticool> i must to install usb to work ?>
[10:23] <vermoos> i am self-deprecating, not ignorant, but thanks anyway
[10:23] <gregcha117> bruenig: it just goes to the next line, nothing comes back no errors, just doesnt seem to open, im not sure why it worked perfect before i tryed uninstalling it and reinstalling it and doesnt seem to make  a difference, just all of a sudden it stopped opening for me
[10:23] <bruenig> gregcha117, is it in /usr/bin?
[10:24] <_Adramelech_> gregcha117: look for it on the process list, i think is crashing on startup
[10:24] <bruenig> it could be a broken symlink
[10:24] <vermoos> no goddam robot's gonna tell me not to use automatix!
[10:24] <gregcha117> _Adramelech_: how do i do that?
[10:25] <_Adramelech_> greagcha117: ps -A
[10:25] <_Adramelech_> greagcha117: and look for it on the process name colum
[10:25] <ernz> cowbud: That was a washout, I cant seem to change the video size, avidemux keeps spitting out a video of the same size
[10:25] <artbird309> vermoos: have you looked at easyubuntu
[10:26] <bruenig> vermoos, if you wish to press your  luck using a script that does things you can do on your own and has a chance at breaking the system, have fun
[10:26] <cowbud> ernz: yes you can
[10:26] <ernz> cowbud?
[10:26] <bruenig> vermoos, you will think otherwise when it breaks it
[10:26] <cowbud> ernz: hang on a second..
[10:26] <ernz> ok
[10:26] <alexi5> i have ubuntu and i want to prevent the gui from start when it books
[10:26] <alexi5> how do i do that
[10:26] <kitche> alexi5: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop && sudo chmod -x /etc/init.d/gdm should do it
[10:26] <gregcha117> _Adramelech_: when i do ps -a it doesnt show up but its there when i do PS -e
[10:27] <kitche> alexi5: the sudo chmod -x /etc/init.d/gdm is what you really want
[10:27] <_Adramelech_> greagcha117: Options are casesensitive -A is not same as -a
[10:28] <gregcha117> alright, well it shows up when i do that
[10:28] <Fah> is the default wm for gnome metacity?
[10:28] <_Adramelech_> gregcha117: is kaffeine on that list?
[10:28] <bruenig> Fah, yes
[10:28] <gregcha117> yep
[10:28] <catli26> SeLamlar...1!
[10:28] <_Adramelech_> gregcha117: kill it and then run it again
[10:29] <Fah> any ideas how to get alt+tab to cycle+select windows instead of raising the window then poping up the previously selected window when you click the newly raised window?
[10:29] <vermoos> bruenig, artbird309: thanks guys, but i have only ever had real problems under cerain taboo situations involving naked ladies - i think i can live with the occasional decompilation of my sound drivers
[10:29] <cowbud> ernz: alright I Got it installed so what you did I presume is you loaded your video file then set the video on the right?
[10:29] <elvaka> how can I check mi FS with fsck?
[10:29] <Dislexic> please help, ATI problem...
[10:29] <ernz> cowbud, loaded video and then went to the calc.

[10:30] <kitche> vermoos: whya re you talking about sound drivers automatix doesn't even mess witht he kernel drivers
[10:30] <cowbud> ernz: you are trying to convert xvid to gp3 right?
[10:30] <bruenig> vermoos, up to you obviously, if I had to choose between having system problems and not having system problems, I would choose the latter, if you wish to choose the former, your computer
[10:31] <ernz> cowbud: 3gp or MP4
[10:31] <cowbud> ernz: alright do you see the Filter part there?
[10:31] <_Adramelech_> gregcha117: did it work?
[10:31] <ernz> cowbud: My phone supports both as I understand.

[10:31] <harrisony1> err hey i have just installed kubuntu-desktop and does any one know were to change how many clicks are needed to open a file/folder
[10:31] <bruenig> alexi5, I believe they already told you sudo chmod -x /etc/init.d/gdm
[10:31] <ernz> cowbud: Nyope :\
[10:31] <bruenig> alexi5, just run that command and it should stop it
[10:32] <elvaka> how can i check my FS with fsck?
[10:32] <ernz> cowbud: I see 2 filters buttons, greyed out.
[10:32] <cowbud> ernz: right you have to select the codec you want..
[10:32] <Dislexic> how do I get my ATI drivers to work correctly... I ran through several different tutorials on it on the forums... right now they work but no 3d or DRI.. showing mesa in fglrxinfo
[10:32] <artbird309> harrisony1: go to system settings

[10:34] <kitche> cld2: what processor you on?
[10:34] <Dislexic> how do I get my ATI drivers to work correctly... I ran through several different tutorials on it on the forums... right now they work but no 3d or DRI.. showing mesa in fglrxinfo

[10:35] <theflyingfool> does anyone know when the next herd release of fiesty is
[10:35] <kitche> cld2: that is a problem on amd64 systems think there is a launchpad report already
[10:35] <artbird309> harrisony1: Peripherals -> Mouse -> icons
[10:35] <kitche> theflyingfool: no clue b ut #ubuntu+1 will
[10:35] <bruenig> theflyingfool, #ubuntu+1 might
[10:35] <tk_> guten abend
[10:36] <cld2> kitche: so something is wrong with that bundle? because I was using 6.10 x86 on this box and it worked fine
[10:36] <cowbud> ernz: sweet try this out load your video then goto Auto->PSP
[10:36] <kitche> cld2: yeah it only effects amd64 install
[10:36] <cld2> kitche: ok thanks. glad I wasnt going crazy.

[10:36] <ernz> cowbud: VCD / DVD / DVD ... The only options
[10:37] <artbird309> harrisony1: that what you wanted
[10:37] <artbird309> ?
[10:37] <epitiphlitis> guten tag
[10:37] <cowbud> ernz: ahh damn you are on edgy aren't you..hrmm well you could try installing the feisty packages :) or compiling avidemux that is why you don't have mp4 support :(
[10:37] <cowbud> ernz: you would think automatix would have the latest version in there..
[10:37] <harrisony1> artbird309, there nothing about icons in keyboard/mouse
[10:37] <jevangelo> automatix2 is automaticly awsome
[10:38] <ernz> cowbud: I have no idear how to to do that. This is version 2.1.2 installed today from automatix

[10:38] <cowbud> ernz: hang on maybe we can find some others online..
[10:38] <ernz> cowbud: Maybe an install from package manager would work better>
[10:38] <IBM_t40p_Noteboo> hi there
[10:38] <harrisony1> IBM_t40p_Noteboo, hu
[10:38] <ernz> cowbud: OK
[10:38] <bruenig> !hi | IBM_t40p_Noteboo
[10:38] <ubotu> IBM_t40p_Noteboo: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[10:39] <arquebus> is there a webpage that explains how to install all the stuff automatix installs using apt-get/synaptic?
[10:39] <artbird309> harrisony1: when you click on mouse you are in the general tab go down and it is there
[10:39] <siv0x> !synaptic
[10:39] <ubotu> synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[10:39] <cowbud> ernz: when you goto help->about what version does it say?
[10:39] <ernz> cowbud: I have no idear how to to do that. This is version 2.1.2 <<<
[10:39] <IBM_t40p_Noteboo> unfortunately i have a problem with my audio driver. i don't have sound anymore for 2 or 3 days, but i don't know why
[10:39] <ernz> 2.1.2
[10:39] <bruenig> arquebus, you would like to think automatix would put that on their website but they don't probably because people would just use that
[10:39] <harrisony1> Oh! thanks artbird309 i must be getting blind
[10:40] <bruenig> arquebus, what are you wanting to install, we can probably help
[10:40] <cowbud> ernz: alright..
[10:40] <arquebus> bruenig- I know, but you would also think someone from this irc channel would make a webpage that explains that so people dont have to use automatix
[10:41] <bruenig> arquebus, there is tons of documentation on the wiki and elsewhere that will explain everything, just not all on one page
[10:41] <arquebus> bruenig- I cant remember off hand all the stuff I install with automatix, but it would be nice to have a webpage that explains how to instll all that stuff
[10:41] <spacing_guild> anyone here know how to change the default firefox video player?
[10:41] <mtecknology> I finally switched my families computer to Linux... Last thing to get working is the shutdown... Ubuntu shuts down, but the power stays on... any suggestions?
[10:41] <kitche> !multimedia|arquebus <--for codecs
[10:41] <ubotu> arquebus <--for codecs: For multimedia codecs see: https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html and for applications see this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications
[10:41] <IBM_t40p_Noteboo> what can i do to activate sound again, when the driver is already recognized?
[10:41] <arquebus> bruenig- thats the point, it should be all in one page
[10:41] <cowbud> ernz: http://prdownload.berlios.de/avidemux/avidemux_1_2.3.0-prev1-1_i386.deb
[10:41] <cowbud> ernz: try that badness out
[10:41] <bruenig> spacing_guild, uninstall  whatever you don't want and install what you do want
[10:41] <harrisony1_> spacing_guild: gnome or jde
[10:41] <harrisony1_> Now listening to:The Grits - Ohh Ahh by 16
[10:41] <harrisony1_> *kde
[10:42] <arquebus> thx kitche
[10:42] <bruenig> spacing_guild, what video player does it use and what video player do you want it to use, oh and I am assuming you mean plugin
[10:42] <bruenig> arquebus, ubuntuguide.org
[10:42] <n2diy> IBM_t40p_Noteboo: check your mixer settings.
[10:42] <bruenig> arquebus, that has it all
[10:42] <spacing_guild> bruenig: yes. I use totem, I want it to use VLC or Xine
[10:42] <ernz> cowbud: A .deb package! That's my kinda solution!
[10:42] <ernz> cowbud: DL now....
[10:42] <arquebus> bruenig- ok, I'll take a look at that
[10:42] <cowbud> ernz: well we will see if it works ;)
[10:42] <noelferreira_> i installed RADEON open drivers from ATI but i can't get direct render working. if i run beryl the logo appears a few second but then my X is restarted. any idea?
[10:43] <ernz> cowbud: Should I remove old version, or just upgrade?
[10:43] <cowbud> ernz: actually wait
[10:43] <cowbud> ernz: I found a newer one..
[10:43] <bruenig> spacing_guild, as far as plugins are concerned, totem and mplayer are the only real ones that are worth anything, I have never been able to get vlc to work at all
[10:43] <ernz> cowbud: Shoot.
[10:43] <cowbud> ernz: http://3v1n0.tuxfamily.org/pool/edgy/3v1n0/avidemux_2.3.0-0.0+3v1ubuntu0_i386.deb
[10:43] <cowbud> that one
[10:43] <bruenig> spacing_guild, and mplayer is far better
[10:43] <IBM_t40p_Noteboo> n2diy: "ESD" is activated
[10:43] <cowbud> ernz: and if you just install it it should automatically upgrade/replace it
[10:43] <spacing_guild> bruenig: totem doesn't seem to want to work as a plugin at all...
[10:43] <n2diy> IBM_t40p_Noteboo: whats that?
[10:43] <kitche> noelferreira_: you mean radeon? those aren't from ATI they are just reverse engieered drivers
[10:43] <bruenig> spacing_guild, yeah, do sudo apt-get remove totem-mozilla
[10:43] <ernz> cowbud: DL Now...
[10:43] <kitche> noelferreira_: at least the open source ones
[10:43] <cld2> kitche: is there a way to turn that off? whats it called boot splash, so I can see whats going on?
[10:44] <bruenig> spacing_guild, then sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer
[10:44] <IBM_t40p_Noteboo> mixing of sound by software, in the audio panel of ubuntu, 2nd tab
[10:44] <spacing_guild> bruenig: gotcha
[10:44] <Jrod> Hi is anybody here that can help me?
[10:44] <bruenig> spacing_guild, also, I would do sudo apt-get install totem-xine
[10:44] <bruenig> spacing_guild, since the regular totem can't play everything
[10:44] <spacing_guild> I've got totem-xine already.
[10:44] <kitche> cld2: have to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and make it quiet I believe for the splash part
[10:44] <arquebus> bruenig- your ubuntuguide.org page has sections on how to install automatix and easyubuntu (lol)
[10:44] <spacing_guild> how do I set it up to be the default once I've got it?
[10:44] <noelferreira_> kitche: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
[10:44] <Jrod> Cab anybody help me?
[10:44] <n2diy> IBM_t40p_Noteboo: what Ubuntu version are you using?
[10:44] <Jrod> *Can
[10:44] <IBM_t40p_Noteboo> n2diy: 6.10
[10:44] <vermoos> jevangelo: i'm glad you agree automatix2 is cool - you had any probs with it?
[10:45] <dubious9> wow, there should be a whole channel for #ubuntu-multimedia
[10:45] <jevangelo> vermoos:  not a single problem
[10:45] <Jrod> can anybody help me please? i really need help and it would be greatly appreciated
[10:45] <ernz> cowbud: Thanks for your help. I have been struggling 2 days with this. Just about ready to chuck my PC out the window.
[10:45] <bruenig> arquebus, yes it does, but it covers pretty much everything
[10:45] <n2diy> IBM_t40p_Noteboo: ok, I'm on 6.06. What happens when you enter "alsa" at a prompt?
[10:45] <jevangelo> are there legal issues with ubuntu doing something like that?
[10:45] <cld2> kitche: thanks :)
[10:45] <ernz> cowbud: DL Finished
[10:45] <kitche> noelferreira_: what does glxinfo|grep rendering say?
[10:45] <dubious9> Jrod, just ask the question and we'll see ;)
[10:45] <vermoos> jevangelo: nuff said, innit
[10:45] <cowbud> ernz: I know the feelings, lets just hope this works for you
[10:46] <linux1> hiya ppl im trying to
[10:46] <bruenig> arquebus, if you want to see what automatix does since it just a script, open it with a text editor, very easy to follow because the stuff is so simple to begin with
[10:46] <noelferreira_> kitche: no
[10:46] <noelferreira_> says no
[10:46] <Jrod> Dubious9: I just installed ubuntu 6.06 [got the cd in the mail]  and everything went fine. then when it told me to reboot i did, and im getting a grub error 18, wat do i do
[10:46] <noelferreira_> that's what i meant
[10:46] <IBM_t40p_Noteboo> n2diy command not found
[10:46] <ernz> cowbud: Installer is complaining about missing libfaac0 dependancy, but I see it installed in Synaptic
[10:47] <Shocka311> Can anyone tell me how I would setup a slave hard drive to dual boot Windows?
[10:47] <kitche> noelferreira_: see what your openGL vender says should sya mesa
[10:47] <n2diy> IBM_t40p_Noteboo: try alsamixer
[10:47] <dubious9> grub error 18 huh?
[10:47] <noelferreira_> yes it does kitche
[10:47] <cowbud> ernz: yah hang on..
[10:47] <Jrod> Yes
[10:47] <Jrod> and im really worried if i screwed it up
[10:47] <kitche> noelferreira_: well those drivers don't support direct rendering anyways
[10:47] <Jrod> because if i cant get back into windows
[10:47] <IBM_t40p_Noteboo> n2diy ok it works
[10:47] <cowbud> ernz: http://3v1n0.tuxfamily.org/dists/edgy/3v1n0/ go there and download whatever packages it complains about and install them also..
[10:47] <Jrod> im screwed
[10:47] <dubious9> Jrod, are you dual-booting with windows?
[10:47] <cowbud> ernz: it is because that dep is using a newer version..
[10:47] <Jrod> yes
[10:47] <vermoos> jevangelo: what side of the pond are you on then?
[10:47] <yvonne__> is there anyway to force a reinstall of a package using the synaptic gui?
[10:48] <linux1> hiya im trying to access my fakeraid drives (windows it on it ;(  ) ,any idea on how to do it ive install dmraid and it can see the drive and activate it but i cant fine the drive anywhere ,im boot from my linux drive

[10:48] <Jrod> and if i cant get in there im SCREWED
[10:48] <noelferreira_> and about beryl bug kitche? if i run beryl logo appears but X is restarted then
[10:48] <arquebus> bruenig- the main reason I like automatix is because just installing most the basic stuff, all of a sudden many linux games I install that dont work, mysteriously start working, so it must be doing a lot of stuff that should be set up by default
[10:48] <n2diy> IBM_t40p_Noteboo: Not sure, but turn it up. :)
[10:48] <dubious9> Jrod, you can mount the windows partition
[10:48] <noelferreira_> kitche: my grahic card is Radeon Xpress 200M
[10:48] <kitche> noelferreira_: check your X logs /var/log/X.0.log

[10:54] <ernz> cowbud: Ahh, OK. I clicked Auto>PSP and then save, typed "test" and saved on desktop.
[10:54] <ernz> ETA is 30 mins.
[10:54] <IBM_t40p_Noteboo> n2diy no more stereo for me? :)
[10:54] <cowbud> ernz: sounds good
[10:55] <kitche> noelferreira_: go to /etc/X11 and pastebing your xorg.conf
[10:55] <n2diy> IBM_t40p_Noteboo: Ok!?
[10:55] <ernz> Cowbud, why doesn't ubuntu update me to this automatically?
[10:55] <sg> hi i have ubuntu 6.06lts installed from the distribution cd
[10:55] <sg> how do i upgarde to lamp server installation? thx
[10:55] <cowbud> ernz: because it is a new package and edgy is in stable mode now so they just apply security fixes and really important upgrades..
[10:55] <dubious9> Jrod, you can take a look around in the bois setup (ie hti f1 or something similar on bootup) and look for an option like that
[10:55] <h3xis> Guest66212, /nick name
[10:55] <derrik> guest i believe its '/nick newnick'
[10:55] <spacing_guild> anyone know how to make mplayer the default firefox player?
[10:56] <cowbud> ernz: that is so they can assure the stability of the system..
[10:56] <kitche> karbonik: well you might but for me the default gpg settings work for me when I use TB and enigmail
[10:56] <dubious9> Jrod, not that I've ever done it
[10:56] <ernz> cowbud, would I have been better sticking with Dapper?
[10:56] <roniez> *points on h3xis line* yuup
[10:56] <n2diy> Guest66212: what kind of modem, internal, external?
[10:56] <Guest66212> thanks h3xis

[10:56] <delight> synfig its showing somehow black windows in edgy ... does not seem to work right
[10:56] <karbonik> kitche:   so resetting to the defaults may do it?  I'll try that now
[10:56] <Guest66212> hmm
[10:57] <wireless_prob> hello all
[10:57] <_Zer0_> thanks
[10:57] <jmg> hey all
[10:57] <wireless_prob> I have been working on getting my wireless card to work in ubuntu 6.1 since yesterday
[10:57] <dubious9> Jrod, oh and before you go out changing a bunch of stuff, you might want to know how to mount your windows drive to backup the documents that you need
[10:57] <_Zer0_> howdy
[10:58] <wireless_prob> I have been looking on ndiswrappers site and ubuntu forums
[10:58] <kitche> noelferreira_: can I see your xorg.conf now want to make sure that it is setup correctly sicne I see it loads the dri
[10:58] <jmg> where do i get poker-network? i see it was accepted but i dont see it in universe or multiverse
[10:58] <wireless_prob> I have a belkin wireless pcmica card on a compaq laptop that uses the rt61 chipset
[10:59] <wireless_prob> i have ndis installed with the driver, and it says everything is cool, but I still do not have wireless access
[10:59] <kitche> karbonik: with gpg all I do is send my keys to the server and use my e-mail and it works for me, so I m guessing that's probably your problem though is the charset option
[10:59] <dubious9> Jrod, is this by any chance a new harddrive on an older computer?
[10:59] <ernz> cowbud: The only things I need to get working in Ubuntu now is: Bluetooth, Streaming audio over my network and 5.1 surround (Probably buy a new sound card)
[10:59] <h3xis> wireless_prob, and you ran modprobe ndiswrapper?
[10:59] <wireless_prob> In network settings I have wmaster0 and wlan0 for some reason
[10:59] <wireless_prob> yes
[10:59] <wireless_prob> and setup to start on boot up
[11:00] <Jrod> Dubious: the computer is like a year old, custom built, but i added a new hard drive after i got it
[11:00] <cowbud> ernz: did you look at the guide for bluetooth?
[11:00] <IBM_t40p_Noteboo> anybody here who wants to talk about VMWARE WORKSTATION. I installed it successfully on my notebook but have problems with networking
[11:00] <IBM_t40p_Noteboo> n2diy thank you for your help
[11:00] <karbonik> kitche:  ok, I reset the defaults thru Kgpg, but I'm still trying to figure out how to reset everything with Enigmail
[11:00] <n2diy> IBM_t40p_Noteboo: nada
[11:00] <ernz> cowbud: yep, no use.
[11:00] <wireless_prob> I have been referencing http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=272813
[11:00] <wireless_prob> but I still only get lights on for a second at boot up then they never come back on
[11:01] <cld2> why oh why wont my nvidia drivers work. im using 6.10 amd64 with the default generic kernel and the generic restricted mods installed and it keeps saying make sure you use the nvidia driver for the current running kernel... any ideas?
[11:01] <wireless_prob> but this whole wmaster0 and wlan0 is really confusing me
[11:01] <wireless_prob> why would I have both?
[11:01] <noelferreira> kitche: http://pastebin.ca/297156
[11:01] <cowbud> ernz: hah well I just had success ive been #$@#$@ing with bluetooth for a little while tell me what you are trying to do exactly..
[11:01] <n2diy> wireless_prob: did you enable the interface?
[11:01] <wireless_prob> yes
[11:01] <Jrod> Dubious, you there?
[11:01] <wireless_prob> I have tried enabling both and one at a time
[11:01] <n2diy> wireless_prob: hmm
[11:02] <wireless_prob> at one point, when I setup the wlan0 to static ip, it should activity on the network icons, but only sending
[11:02] <wireless_prob> no receiving, and with no lights on the card

[11:02] <adrap> For 2.6 kernels, make sure you have mounted sysfs and libsensors

[11:02] <wireless_prob> also, sometimes if I take the card out, it will lock up the whole os
[11:03] <ernz> cowbud: nothing too fancy. KDE framework functionality...in Gnome. I want to send files to and from the phone, but also to BROWSE the phones contents via OBEX client I presume. Nothing fancy as I said, no contacts syncing no backups or firmware mods. Just asynchronous file transfers.
[11:03] <n2diy> wireless_prob: type ifconfig at a command prompt, and see if the system sees the interface.
[11:03] <kitche> noelferreira: I see that your using the ati driver try the radeon
[11:03] <cowbud> ernz: and why are you choosing to use kde in gnome?
[11:03] <adrap> ... but /proc and /sys are mounted, and libsensors3 is installed, and the i2c modules are loaded ! CAn anyone help ?
[11:03] <Ryugi> when i did chmod -x /etc/init.d/gdm to  prevent the desktop from starting. i booted my PC and it booted and stuck at the progress start up screen. how do i set it up so it can boot right up to the login prompt?
[11:03] <wireless_prob> yes wlan0 and wmaster0
[11:04] <dubious9> Jrod, can you pastebin your partition table?
[11:04] <wireless_prob> and lo and eth0
[11:04] <mtecknology> I needed to add "linux acpi=off" to the boot param to be able to get Ubuntu to install at all. Unfortunately I think this is the reason that my computer does not power down when Ubuntu shuts off. Any suggestions for fixing this?
[11:04] <noelferreira> kitche: you mean change ati by radeon, only that?
[11:04] <n2diy> wireless_prob: can you ping it?
[11:04] <ernz> cowbud: I haven't. I tried that initially, it didn't work but it looked promising, so I switched to Kubuntu for a while, bluetooth worked superbly, but I thought KDE sucked in a lot of ways, now I am back with Gnome, but still want to do all those bluetoothy things.
[11:04] <kitche> noelferreira: yes just the driver ati part to radeon
[11:04] <wireless_prob> how would I do that?
[11:04] <wireless_prob> ping the card?
[11:04] <noelferreira> ok i'll try that
[11:04] <Ryugi> can anyone help me
[11:04] <Jrod> how do i do that dubious

[11:06] <superkirbyartist> Are Laptop cards supported by Ubuntu?
[11:06] <h3xis> yes
[11:06] <Ryugi> un_operateur:what do i change in the script
[11:06] <superkirbyartist> h3xis: Is my laptop card modem supported or I need Linuxant?
[11:06] <kitche> adrap: you haven't even said what is wrong
[11:06] <wireless_prob> yes
[11:07] <wireless_prob> how do I stop the ping thought
[11:07] <naranhasen> hi, i'm trying to install ubuntu edgy but when ubiquity tries to load the program for partitioning it just does nothing at 7%
[11:07] <h3xis> superkirbyartist, what's the chipset
[11:07] <wireless_prob> it just keeps going
[11:07] <wireless_prob> lol
[11:07] <superkirbyartist> h3xis:One second...
[11:07] <n2diy> wireless_prob: ctrl+z
[11:07] <adrap> kitche: well sensors kicks me out, sensors doesn't display the date
[11:07] <un_operateur> Ryugi, right now you can probably trying to press CTRL+ALT+F1 .. sometime after the hang and get to the CLI
[11:07] <kitche> wireless_prob: ctrl+c that way the -c # option should be used
[11:07] <adrap> kitche: and it worked with 6.06, this is 6.10
[11:07] <noelferreira> kitche: Radeon or radeon?
[11:07] <Jrod> OMG can someone help me
[11:07] <kitche> noelferreira: radeon
[11:07] <wireless_prob> ok. so that works, I assume that its good I can ping it
[11:07] <un_operateur> Ryugi, you never change init scripts -- you either enable or disable them with /usr/sbin/update-rc.d

[11:08] <dubious9> Jrod,once you're in, open a console and type "sudo fdisk -l"
[11:08] <Ryugi> un_operateur:how do i set it up to boot to terminal 1
[11:08] <h3xis> superkirbyartist, in lspci does it show?
[11:08] <wireless_prob> if I look in device manager, it appears that the card is still an unknown device
[11:08] <cowbud> ernz: did you install the gnome-phone-manager ?
[11:08] <dubious9> Jrod, once you're booted I'll show you how to grab your windows documents
[11:08] <un_operateur> Ryugi, to boot to terminal you have to have gdm disabled
[11:08] <wireless_prob> from what I can tell, the card itself is wmaster0 and is a subset of wlan0
[11:08] <n2diy> wireless_prob: hang on.
[11:08] <ernz> cowbud: gave that one a miss, does it look worth it?
[11:08] <adrap> kitche: see, sensors doesn't show me temperatures ...
[11:09] <wireless_prob> one sec, coffee refill
[11:09] <superkirbyartist> h3xis: Cureently installing Xubuntu, but I can still try to figure out.
[11:09] <n2diy> What is a good ip address to test networking with using ping?
[11:09] <h3xis> superkirbyartist, yeah, try running lspci and see if it shows
[11:09] <adrap> 127.0.0.1
[11:09] <dancallo> Good afternoon

[11:10] <n2diy> wireless_prob: can you ping google.com?
[11:10] <kitche> siv0x: probably because ubuntu uses dash
[11:11] <kitche> siv0x: try sudo bash setup.sh
[11:11] <wireless_prob> well, yeah, because I am connected with a wired connection atm
[11:11] <siv0x> kitche, thank you

[11:11] <naranhasen> i'm trying to install ubuntu edgy but when ubiquity tries to load the program for partitioning it just does nothing at 7% <-- it's a brand new hard disk and all, can't figure out the reason for this, any ideas what i might try?
[11:11] <erUSUL> siv0x: use 'sudo bash setup.sh'
[11:11] <cowbud> ernz: http://blogs.gnome.org/view/jamesh/2006/10/05/0 check through that ill get back to you when im done getting my jabra working in linpoop :)
[11:12] <n2diy> wireless_prob: What is your AP?
[11:12] <wireless_prob> alpine

[11:12] <mwe> when I apt-get anything it says "The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: [Long list] . How do I tell apt to stop warning about that? I want to keep those packages.
[11:12] <wireless_prob> its a netgear router
[11:12] <erUSUL> siv0x: if you want bash and not dash to be sh just do 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash'
[11:12] <artbird309> !dash
[11:12] <ubotu> /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"

[11:22] <jrib> cld2: yes, I have them working
[11:22] <jacopoexchange> jrib: through kubuntu-default-system package

[11:23] <dubious9> Jrod, also we can rescue your windows files while you have the live cd booted.
[11:23] <harrisony1> Lam_: i dont think you can

[11:24] <harrisony1> see what i mean
[11:24] <jacopoexchange> agent: during the installation i was asked which display manager i wanted to use, in theory gdm should show both gnome and kde session option

[11:25] <noelferreira_> kitche: same problem with radeon.dri not capable
[11:25] <bds> harrisony1: thanks ;)
[11:25] <n2diy> wireless_: ok, so we can ping the card right?
[11:25] <jacopoexchange> agent: i'll check that out
[11:25] <drkm> Xenguy: its just for webdesign but I just idle when not uploading files.. but I have to exit FTP and restart and go to the right DIR again, its time consuming

[11:25] <jacopoexchange> agent: i restarted the pc
[11:25] <wireless_> n2diy : but not the router and nothing on the net
[11:25] <n2diy> wireless_: do any LEDs blink?
[11:25] <kitche> dancallo: ISA? think that can't be used on 2.6 kernels
[11:25] <cld2> jrib: I have an amd64 box running generic and I have installed said modules but it tells me to make sure the nvidia kern mod and the kernel im running are the same. thanks for looking
[11:25] <Xenguy> drkm: try wget if you are just fetching files
[11:26] <wireless_> n2diy : I have no lights on the card working now, not on and not blinking
[11:26] <jrib> cld2: what command says that?
[11:26] <n2diy> wireless_: What about when you ping the card?
[11:26] <spacing_guild> anyone know how to get mplayer to be the default movie player for firefox?
[11:26] <dancallo> Didn't realize that, Kitche.  I had a Rockwell Riptide audio/comm card (PCI) in there earlier, but Dapper didn't detect it either.

[11:27] <Jared_> Hi is anybody here
[11:27] <drkm> Xenguy: I'm uploading

[11:33] <n2diy> wireless_:  how did you disable, and re-enable them?
[11:33] <karbonik> kitche: thanks for the lead

[11:33] <Jared_> ok i typed '/query dubious9'

[11:34] <dubious9> ok something is screwy.  can somebody else /query me to see which end this problem is on?

[11:34] <Jared_> ok how do i register
[11:34] <n-rated> where should I have to put the tar.gz file for this to work sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-1.32.tar.gz
[11:34] <jrib> mwe: what warning exactly?  use pastebin
[11:34] <dubious9> kitche, lol thanks, I had no idea ;)

[11:36] <wireless_> n2diy : right, I tried only renabling wlan0 wmaster0 and if I just enable wmaster0 nothing shows up except the lookback in ifconfig, but if I just enable wlan0 then both wmaster0 and wlan0 show up, and if I enable both I have same results
[11:36] <dubious9> Jared_, try doing the registration in the FreeNode tab.  That way if you make a mistake, we all don't see your password ;)

[11:38] <jrib> mwe: I know what you mean, I've just been ignoring the warnings.  The autoremove features seems to lack documentation
[11:38] <n2diy> wireless_:  this is weird, try ifdown wlan0, and then ifup wlan0.
[11:38] <mwe> jrib: yeah. I noticed in the man page
[11:39] <lxgg> ANYONE who can help with FIREFOX config and NETWORK CONFIG message me plz !!!
[11:40] <jrib> mwe: a thread on the forums claims feisty's man page has docs, so I'm going to see if I can take a quick look at that

Whenever I delete something on the XFS drives, rather than it moving to the trash, it instead moves to a hidden folder on the drive called .trash. Is there a way to make it move to the trash on the main drive like it should?
[11:41] <arte_> it started

[11:43] <Music_Shuffle> Well, it seems legit :P
[11:43] <rrittenhouse> ..
[11:43] <wireless_> n2diy: ifup wlan0 = same as above plus DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8 then it goes on to intervals 14,18,17,4 then it says No DHCPOFFERS recieved  No working leases in persistent databae - sleeping

[11:44] <Theodor> Guys I'm currently here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/ ... I need to download these packages: debhelper, rmp, dpkg-dev, make ... any ideas on where to get them?
[11:44] <Theodor> I need them, because I wasn't able to install Alien.
[11:44] <HymnToLife> Theodor, they're on your Ubuntu CD
[11:44] <wireless_> n2diy: no
[11:44] <Theodor> Ohh damn it
[11:45] <crimsun> siv0x: did you set the default audio output using asoundconf?
[11:45] <Theodor> How can I get them out of the DVD ?
[11:45] <n2diy> wireless_:  WTF? hang on, I'm going to ask the list.
[11:45] <HymnToLife> Theodor, just try to apt-get them
[11:45] <HymnToLife> it should ask for the CD/DVD
[11:45] <jrib> Theodor: the cd is better, but note that they are linked at the bottom of the page for the package on packages.ubuntu.com as well
[11:45] <Theodor> so I write apt-get rpm ?
[11:46] <HymnToLife> with sudo
[11:46] <raintheory> is there a way to record a radio stream (streamed from rhythmbox)?
[11:46] <n2diy> Ifconfig sees a wireless card, but no ip address is a assigned to it, also ifup reports no leases, and the card is sleeping?
[11:46] <jrib> Theodor: sudo apt-get install rpm    why do you want rpm?
[11:46] <Theodor> kay, will try it
[11:46] <wireless_> n2diy: yes

[11:46] <HymnToLife> n2diy, have you configured ESSID ans key using iwconfig ?
[11:46] <wireless_> that is all correct
[11:46] <HymnToLife> oh, never mind
[11:46] <Theodor> jrib, becuase I downloaded a driver for my graphic card, which is a .rpm file.
[11:47] <jrib> Theodor: what graphics card?
[11:47] <n2diy> HymnToLife: it isn't my problem, I'm trying to help wireless_ solve his, and I'm stumped.
[11:47] <jrib> !rpm | Theodor
[11:47] <ubotu> Theodor: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[11:47] <HymnToLife> Theodor, this seems like a bad thing to do, what kind of card do you have ?
[11:47] <wireless_> n2diy: i cam going to eject the card and reinsert it, although that has never helped before
[11:47] <Theodor> ATI X600 "for my laptop"
[11:47] <agent> Theodor: its a pretty bad idea to install non-deb files, but if you *must* you can use alien to convert from rpm to deb
[11:47] <HymnToLife> !ati | Theodor
[11:47] <ubotu> Theodor: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:47] <Theodor> That command gave me this: you might want to run 'apt-get -f install'
[11:47] <Theodor> any ideas why?
[11:48] <HymnToLife> yes, broken dependencies
[11:48] <Theodor> HymnToLife, I went to that webpage before, I couldn't find anything that helped me out ...
[11:48] <wireless_> n2diy: ndiswrapper -l says hardare is present and driver is present
[11:48] <HymnToLife> just run the command it tells you to
[11:48] <Theodor> okay

Anybody got an answer or am I screwed?
[11:55] <Azul> kde = krappy desktop environment
[11:56] <n2diy> jeeves_ : the speed should be better than that, but 10m distance isn't that bad.
[11:56] <jrib> arte_: no, I just mean:  don't break up what you say into more than one line.  It makes it hard to follow with everyone else speaking at the same time
