[12:01] <Dodoria> ikonia, how i active he?
[12:01] <ikonia> Dodoria: bit late now, you've messed up your system
[12:01] <jontec_> n2diy: got disconnected...
[12:01] <compengi> Aggort, no the created one which is windows is the logical and the other partitions should be extended
[12:01] <n2diy> jontec: roger that
[12:01] <Dodoria> ikonia, wait i traduct
[12:01] <n2diy> jontec: what interfaces are listed with ifconfig?
[12:01] <ikonia> traduct ?
[12:02] <jontec_> n2diy: n2diy: eth0 and lo... (should have eth1, wireless card, but that's another issue... I have to get the drivers from a exe file that I need to run (can't use wine, x64) and therefore need to transfer to my windows computer)
[12:02] <Aggort> compengi: That's not even possible
[12:02] <Dodoria> ikonia, i'm learning english
[12:02] <Aggort> compengi: My NTFS partition is primary
[12:02] <ikonia> Dodoria: no problem
[12:02] <jasin> eth0 should be wired, eth1 should be wireless
[12:02] <compengi> Aggort, yeah and the others are secondary
[12:02] <compengi> :)
[12:02] <n2diy> jontec: ok, can you ping eth0, or its ip address?
[12:02] <compengi> Aggort, secondary are extended
[12:02] <jontec_> n2diy: from another computer?
[12:02] <Aggort> comengi: I can only have one secondary the rest must be logical
[12:03] <HymnToLife> jontec, you can use !cabextract to extract files from an EXE
[12:03] <compengi> Aggort, it's the opposite
[12:03] <n2diy> jontec: no, from your terminal.
[12:03] <Aggort> mmm
[12:03] <jontec_> HymnToLife: thanks
[12:03] <joshua__> how can I add /opt/e17/bin to $PATH ?
[12:03] <Dodoria> ikonia, up?
[12:03] <ikonia> Dodoria: up what ?
[12:03] <Aggort> right now I ahve NTFS and extneded
[12:03] <compengi> Aggort, one logical and the others as much as you want but extended
[12:03] <chotchki> hey guys i am trying to setup a common shared folder that will be globally writable by all users to store photos, my question is where should i put it in the file tree?
[12:03] <jontec_> n2diy: yes.
[12:03] <ikonia> joshua__: PATH=$PATH:/opt/e17/bin
[12:03] <joshua__> thank you ikonia
[12:04] <Aggort> I can't cus I need a root and a swap
[12:04] <ikonia> joshua__: you should know this stuff if you're trying to build a cvs pakcage
[12:04] <Aggort> root is "/" swap is the gig
[12:04] <n2diy> jontec: good, I imagine you have a rounter, can you ping that?
[12:04] <Dodoria> ikonia, you say for, me up system
[12:04] <compengi> Aggort, yeah
[12:04] <tomplast> Everyone! Visit http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/eu_streaming_service_for_everybody and sign the petition to encourage EU to support open formats!
[12:04] <ikonia> Dodoria: you have broke your system
[12:04] <compengi> Aggort, i'm going to take shower now
[12:05] <Aggort> wait wait wait 1 more thing
[12:05] <compengi> okay
[12:05] <Aggort> Why did I have 3 mount points last time and only 2 this time?
[12:05] <jasin> Try ping 127.0.0.1
[12:05] <Dodoria> ikonia, how i broke my system?
[12:05] <compengi> Aggort, cause you made something wrong
[12:05] <n2diy> jontec: can you ping www.google.com?
[12:05] <jontec_> n2diy: nope, no router.
[12:05] <Aggort> I did exactly what you said
[12:06] <ikonia> by breaking the apt dependency tree and installing potentially incompatible library versions
[12:06] <compengi> Aggort, all the created partitions must be viewed in mounting point
[12:06] <jontec_> n2diy: I'm sure... I have internet on this computer?
[12:06] <jasin> root is / its where everything is located, unless you have separate partitions for other things.
[12:06] <Aggort> they aren;t
[12:06] <compengi> Aggort, but they should
[12:06] <compengi> Aggort, check it again
[12:06] <n2diy> jontec: no router, how do you connect to the internet?
[12:06] <Aggort> jsut two
[12:07] <compengi> Aggort, and see what did you do wrong
[12:07] <Aggort> ok
[12:07] <Aggort> I have 51 gis unallocvated
[12:07] <Dodoria> ikonia, how i broke my system?
[12:07] <heapme> what backup tool (non commercial) should i use for backing up files/directories to dvd/cd?
[12:07] <ikonia> Dodoria: I've just told you
[12:07] <Aggort> II create an extended partition with that?
[12:07] <ikonia> Dodoria: you installed libs outside apt - so apt won't know whats installed
[12:08] <Dodoria> ikonia, i remove libs of glib in apt?
[12:08] <ikonia> no
[12:08] <jontec_> n2diy: I have a windows computer that provides the connection.... ICS originally setup with two windows computers... but now I have two linux (kubuntu), both dual boot, and a windows laptop (gives the connection), and the desktop in the other room that I store files on
[12:08] <ikonia> apt doesn't know about glib thats the point
[12:08] <Aggort> I NEED SOME SERIOUS HELP I have been trying to install ubuntu for over 3 hours
[12:08] <Falstius> heapme: you could use gnomebaker or k3b or just the one built in to gnome.
[12:08] <jontec_> n2diy: it's all connected with a switch
[12:08] <ikonia> Aggort: you need to learn to not use caps
[12:08] <jontec_> n2diy: and a lan cable I hooked up to a wall jack
[12:08] <Aggort> ikonia: Sorry I am just really pissed right now
[12:09] <jevangelo> is it possible to have a lamp server on desktop ubuntu?
[12:09] <ikonia> Aggort: well thats not a great way to attract attention. I suggest you go away and come back calm
[12:09] <heapme> jevangelo sure
[12:09] <gnomefreak> !lamp | jevangelo
[12:09] <ubotu> jevangelo: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[12:09] <Aggort> ikonia: I just want to get Ubuntu installed
[12:09] <jasin> kernel, /etc - This directory contains all the configuration files for your system, /var - This directory contains spooling data like mail and also the output
[12:09] <jasin> from the printer daemon.
[12:09] <ikonia> Aggort: well, thats too bad at the moment
[12:09] <jevangelo> i just want to do a lamp environment, but i dont want to do it on server
[12:09] <n2diy> jontec: ok, I'm not sure what the diff is between a switch and a router is, but does it have an ip address, and can you ping it?
[12:10] <jasin>  /etc - This directory contains all the configuration files for your system, /var - This directory contains spooling data like mail and also the output
[12:10] <Falstius> Aggort: trying to get two operating systems on one computer is often frustrating.  It is a lot easier when you can just wipe a system clean.  You really should read about partitions and mount points.  A quick explanation is just as likely to confuse you as help you.
[12:10] <Aggort> I am not expecting a quick explnation I ahve dual booted before
[12:10] <ikonia> Aggort: so you should have no problems
[12:10] <ikonia> ubuntu has an easy install routine
[12:10] <ikonia> you should be fine
[12:10] <heapme> Aggort well whats the problem? just install windows first if it's windows then ubuntu
[12:11] <Aggort> ikonia: Apparently Ubuntu is differnet
[12:11] <ikonia> no its not
[12:11] <jontec_> n2diy: no it doesn't :D it just like extending the network cable. a router is usually a connection source and switch in one, I think.
[12:11] <syd67ro> where should I add the commands to enable my wireless connection (wpa_supplicant and dhclient)? I want them to be run at startup
[12:11] <Falstius> Aggort: yes, but no one here is going to write you a 5 page dissertation on partitions :)
[12:11] <Aggort> heap: I already have Windows installed
[12:11] <heapme> Aggort or are you using a dell emachine?
[12:11] <Aggort> no
[12:11] <Tonren> What's the simplest, easiest-to-set-up mail server package around?
[12:11] <ikonia> Aggort: so whats the problem
[12:11] <erUSUL> syd67ro: man interfaces
[12:11] <ikonia> Tonren: personal taste
[12:11] <erUSUL> Tonren: default in ubuntu is postfix
[12:11] <Aggort> I need to know exactly what type of partitions I need to install ubuntu
[12:11] <n2diy> jontec: ok, and the switch plug into a wall jack?
[12:11] <jontec_> n2diy: I don't think it's the network I can get out and I can even view files on the computer I'm trying to transfer files to... it's just that I can
[12:11] <ikonia> Aggort: thats personal taste
[12:12] <ikonia> and you've done it before - so it shouldn't be a problem
[12:12] <jontec_> n2diy: I can't transfer files to it
[12:12] <Aggort> Comoengi had me create an extended partition and a logical one
[12:12] <Aggort> He said I needed a seondary partition to install
[12:12] <jontec_> n2diy: it gets to like 32kb, 512kb, or 1024kb and stalls
[12:12] <Aggort> and now I'm confused
[12:12] <heapme> Aggort theres a howto install ubuntu video on youtube, teaches you that stuff in about 10 minutes
[12:12] <ikonia> Aggort: you should know this - have you read the docs ?
[12:12] <jasin> Aggort, you should have the following partitions: / , /boot , /usr , /var , /home, swap
[12:12] <tuxub> i get "Aborted (core dumped)" when running the sysinfo app (sysinfo packaged). has anyone experienced this situation?
[12:12] <jontec_> n2diy: then the network connection on this computer fails
[12:12] <jasin> Aggort, however, only / and swap ae required by the install
[12:12] <Falstius> jasin: that is over kill and is only going to cause him trouble.
[12:12] <cafuego_> Aggort: Despite what everyone says, if you have / and swap, you'll be fine.
[12:13] <jasin> Aggort, however, only / and swap are required by the install
[12:13] <syd67ro> erUSUL: are you sure?
[12:13] <n2diy> jontec: ok, and the switch plugs into a wall jack?
[12:13] <Aggort> jasin that's all I want, but I;d also like to be able toa ccess my Windows files
[12:13] <ikonia> jasin: he should know this - he's done it before
[12:13] <Stormx2> professor: When you go back into winecfg, does the CD drive show up under drives?
[12:13] <jasin> Falstius, not if he knows how to partition a hard drive.
[12:13] <Aggort> and does my root need to be primary and my swap secondary?
[12:13] <cafuego_> Aggort: linux cna read the windows files without problems.
[12:13] <professor> Stormx2, I think it does
[12:13] <ikonia> Aggort: read the docs
[12:13] <ikonia> it tells you
[12:13] <jasin> Falstius, over kill? how so?
[12:13] <Aggort> ikonia: Did, and it helped nothing
[12:13] <ikonia> jasin: he hasn't got a clue - you'll confuse him
[12:13] <ikonia> Aggort: rubbish
[12:13] <jasin> ikonia, thats good
[12:13] <ikonia> it explains this
[12:13] <Aggort> ikonia: Not
[12:14] <Falstius> Aggort: / and swap can be primary or logical (there's no such thing as secondary).  You can work out accessing the windows files after installation.
[12:14] <ikonia> jasin: its not - he's getting annoying
[12:14] <professor> Stormx2, it says D: /cdrom
[12:14] <jasin> ikonia, he dont seem confused.
[12:14] <Aggort> I already tried installing it and it failed
[12:14] <heapme> yes linux can 'read' windows files without problems, its when you try writing to/from partitions that it gets crazy :(
[12:14] <syd67ro> erUSUL: i think that there you can only set duplex, speed, mtu, but not wpa ana dhcp............
[12:14] <Aggort> compengi said I needed to amke them seondoary
[12:14] <ikonia> Aggort: there is no such thing
[12:14] <jevangelo> anyone know any web-based juke box scripts
[12:14] <Aggort> but once you create an extended partition, the rest ahs to eb logical
[12:14] <Stormx2> professor: /cdrom?
[12:14] <ikonia> the only limitation i syou can only have 4 primary partitions
[12:14] <Stormx2> professor: Thats not right
[12:14] <jevangelo> i want to stream music from this box
[12:14] <cafuego_> Aggort: As long as those partitions exist, linux doesn't care what kind they are.
[12:14] <jevangelo> using like, php or something
[12:14] <jasin> Aggort, you can make them both primary, you are allowed up to 4 primary partitions total
[12:14] <Aggort> ikonia: I I can scroll up and copy and apste it, ity's what he said
[12:14] <Stormx2> professor: It should be /media/cdrom
[12:14] <Falstius> jasin: unless you're setting up a specialized server, creating seperate /usr and /var will only cause trouble and won't really help.
[12:15] <Stormx2> jevangelo: Uhh...
[12:15] <ikonia> Aggort: I don't care what he said, I'm telling you fact
[12:15] <ikonia> but you SHOULD know this if you've read the docs
[12:15] <professor> Stormx2, na it just says cdrom
[12:15] <JayRoe> can someone tell me how I start a program on another screen using the console?
[12:15] <Aggort> ikonia: then he scrwed me all up and wa swhy I was pissed
[12:15] <heapme> linux can be installed both primary or logical
[12:15] <ikonia> Aggort: you wouldn't need to ask i fyou had read the docs
[12:15] <Stormx2> jevangelo: SHOUTcast, and theres another...
[12:15] <Stormx2> *sigh*
[12:15] <Aggort> ikonia: I did! I followed the instructions and the thing failed
[12:15] <adaptr> icecast
[12:15] <professor> Stormx2, wait I did auto detect and now E: says media cdrom, but  I did that before and it didnt work
[12:15] <Angelus> hi guys! :)
[12:15] <Stormx2> icecast, thats it
[12:16] <Falstius> JayRoe: alt-f2 then login again.  Or read man screen.
[12:16] <jasin> Aggort, if you click erase entire disk it will do everything for you, there will be no need to manualy partition the hard drive; hoiwever, if you have windows installed it will be gone as wil anything else thats the hard drive.
[12:16] <FurryNemesis> Angelus, hi!
[12:16] <erUSUL> syd67ro: read here  zless /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.modes.gz
[12:16] <Stormx2> professor: Have you checked under the advanced options?
[12:16] <jasin> Aggort, if you click erase entire disk it will do everything for you, there will be no need to manualy partition the hard drive; however, if you have windows installed it will be gone as wil anything else thats the hard drive.
[12:16] <adaptr> Stormx2: ac'ly, icecast/ices is OSS, shoutcast isn't (not really, or not completely)
[12:16] <jpass> hey guys, is there a way to disable my laptop sound card? bios doesn't offer the option but i'd like to disable it because i have my pcmcia one
[12:16] <Angelus> was wondering, I have firefox running at the moment, v1.5
[12:16] <heapme> it's good to reinstall windows from time to time anyway, it speeds it way up
[12:16] <jasin> Aggort, if you click erase entire disk it will do everything for you, there will be no need to manualy partition the hard drive; however, if you have windows installed it will be gone as will anything else thats on the hard drive.
[12:16] <professor> Stormx2,  and do what under advance
[12:16] <Angelus> it's not asking to be updated but I'm download v.2
[12:16] <heapme> and helps clear out any spyware
[12:16] <ikonia> jasin: easy guy
[12:16] <Stormx2> professor: What is "filesystem" set to?
[12:16] <Angelus> is v2 the latest version?
[12:17] <FurryNemesis> Angelus, pretty much, v 2.0.0.1 or something of the sort
[12:17] <jasin> ikonia, I dont know what your problem is but yo really need to back off.
[12:17] <Aggort> I have a 1.2 gigabyte partition for Swap and 50gb for root , won;t that do?
[12:17] <professor> Stormx2,  ok slow down, where do I find the file system
[12:17] <Angelus> even with ubuntu?
[12:17] <ikonia> jasin: I was only asking you to not say that long sentence again
[12:17] <ikonia> you said it 3 times
[12:17] <Aggort> and I;ll still be able to access my windows files
[12:17] <jasin> Aggort, thats fine
[12:17] <ikonia> so I said "easy guy"
[12:18] <jasin> aggort, not unless windows is on a separate partition
[12:18] <Stormx2> professor: bah, there should be something like that under advanced
[12:18] <JayRoe> falstius, what if I want to start a program on screen 1 by running it from a console on screen 0?
[12:18] <Aggort> ?!?!?!
[12:18] <Aggort> This is where I am gettign confused
[12:18] <Aggort> Windows has to be on another partition it's NTFS
[12:18] <jasin> iknonia, why not? I'd rather be specific then inaccurate.
[12:18] <ikonia> jasin: your sentence was fine
[12:18] <heapme> Aggort once linux is install you can access them from /media/hda or somethin simliar depending on your installation/hardware)
[12:18] <ikonia> you just said it three times, I thought your keyboard was stuck
[12:18] <FurryNemesis> Angelus, if you dl'd it from the FFwebsite, then yes
[12:18] <Falstius> JayRoe: I think that is possible, but not easy.  Screen is probably what you want.
[12:19] <jasin> iknonia, no wyou're contradicting yourself.
[12:19] <ikonia> jasin: am I ?
[12:19] <Aggort> jasin: don;t you mean as long it's on the same device?
[12:19] <jasin> iknonia, man, you need to stop.
[12:19] <ikonia> jasin: stop what ?
[12:19] <ikonia> I just said "easy guy"
[12:19] <JayRoe> falstius, I tried with "appname --screen 1" but that doesn't work anymore for some reason
[12:19] <ikonia> because you said the thing about deleting the whole disk three times
[12:19] <jasin> Aggort, you can do that as well.
[12:19] <ikonia> no offence was intendend
[12:19] <heapme> Aggort linux doesn't use drive letters like windows. everything is a subdir of / (the root dir) and you can mount your other devices to any directory inside of any subdir in /. your cd rom, your windows partition, etc
[12:19] <Aggort> ty
[12:19] <professor> Stormx2, I just have label and serial number
[12:20] <jasin> Aggort, but it dont need to be on a second drive, a separate partition will do.
[12:20] <Stormx2> professor: Hmm. Got the CD drive selected in the list above?
[12:20] <Falstius> JayRoe: you don't mean two separate monitors do you?
[12:20] <seba> anyone that knows the kernel startup can help me in somehting?
[12:20] <ikonia> seba: whats up
[12:20] <jasin> Aggort, there afre no c: d: 's in linux, everything is under /
[12:20] <JayRoe> falstius, yes I do, TV-Out to be exact.
[12:20] <jontec_> heapme, jasin: have him set it to "do no mount", he can mount it later :D just have him setup a root partition and swap.
[12:20] <heapme> separate partitions are kind of like having virtual additional harddrives
[12:20] <zylche> How would I change the name of a device, I assume it's the label on the partiton, by command line? :/
[12:20] <professor> Stormx2, ok now I do
[12:20] <zylche> *of
[12:20] <Falstius> JayRoe: ohhh :)
[12:20] <professor> Stormx2,  but still the same
[12:21] <Aggort> ok I ahve 2 mount points "/" and Swap
[12:21] <erUSUL> !anyone | seba
[12:21] <ubotu> seba: 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?
[12:21] <Aggort> that's all I need?
[12:21] <heapme> Aggort yes
[12:21] <dRK_sHd0w> does anyone know about ispconfig??
[12:21] <Stormx2> professor: tried doing "killall wineserver" and trying again?
[12:21] <heapme> make sure swap is set to type 'swap'
[12:21] <Stormx2> professor: Try #winehq too
[12:21] <ikonia> Aggort: just so your clear swap is not a mountable partition
[12:21] <heapme> which im sure it is by default in ubuntu
[12:21] <jasin> jontec, if its on a second drive he can just unplug the power to it and then install linux to the first drive, bit he'll have to confiqure grub to have windows bootable.
[12:21] <professor> storminc, where do I type that
[12:21] <Aggort> and they can both be primary and I can access my Windows files? See Compengi said I needed /home to point to my NTFS
[12:21] <storminc> can anyone tell me how the scripts in /etc/acpi work. do i need to symlink what i want to battery.d etc?
[12:21] <Falstius> JayRoe: I don't know how, I haven't had a spare monitor for years but I remember there was some config file you could use to specify which screen programs would start on.
[12:22] <jasin> bit=but
[12:22] <professor> storminc,  where do I type that
[12:22] <seba> ikonia when the boot starts the kernel makes a gdt and then loads the kernel there
[12:22] <seba> ?
[12:22] <jasin> Aggort, as you were already told, to install linux you will need the following partitions: / and swap
[12:22] <ikonia> gdt ?
[12:22] <heapme> and even swap is optional, but recommended
[12:22] <jasin> Aggort, please listen.
[12:22] <Falstius> Aggort: you don't want home to point to ntfs, that would be really bad.  Just leave the ntfs partition alone.
[12:22] <Angelus> what do you do with the files once they are downloaded?
[12:23] <Angelus> how do you install things?
[12:23] <jasin> heapme, yes it is but the buntu install will complain if there is no swap
[12:23] <Aggort> That asshole fucked me up then
[12:23] <jrib> Angelus: use synaptic, or add/remove programs
[12:23] <professor> storminc, I type that into the command line and nothing happened
[12:23] <erUSUL> seba: grub loads the kernel into memory not the kernel itself afaik
[12:23] <Aggort> excuse my language
[12:23] <ikonia> languge !
[12:23] <jasin> heapme, yes it is but the ubuntu install will complain if there is no swap
[12:23] <jrib> !synaptic | Angelus
[12:23] <ubotu> Angelus: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[12:23] <jontec_> jasin: I think I misuderstood what was going on... :D never mind.
[12:23] <heapme> jasin saw you the first time ;0
[12:23] <storminc> can anyone tell me how the scripts in /etc/acpi work. do i need to symlink what i want to battery.d etc?
[12:23] <jasin> heapme, and the typo
[12:23] <Angelus> what if you have already downloaded the gz file?
[12:24] <professor> storminc, can you private im me
[12:24] <ikonia> Angelus: don't use gz files
[12:24] <dRK_sHd0w> hey is anyone familiar with ispconfig???
[12:24] <jasin> heapme, I correct myself, I like being understood.
[12:24] <Aggort> Ican't beleive he did that
[12:24] <professor> storminc,  or make a room
[12:24] <seba> erUSUL well i know but grub loads the first stage of the kernel
[12:24] <ikonia> jasin: AHHHH thats why you typed it 3 times
[12:24] <Angelus> I have no other choice
[12:24] <heapme> jasin you cant make anyone understand you, trust me ;0
[12:24] <ikonia> I didn't see the correction
[12:24] <mkudzin> I am a long time Linux user, but I am new to Ubuntu.  I am determining how some features are configured.
[12:24] <ikonia> now it makes sense
[12:24] <Aggort> ok nwo the isntall won't start!
[12:24] <jasin> ikonia, twice is three? since when?
[12:24] <mnoir> Angelus: if synaptic can find and instal, it is preferablt to a downloaded gz
[12:24] <Falstius> Aggort: I doubt he did it on purpose.  This run moves quickly and that is a complicated subject.
[12:24] <storminc> professor: im sorry but the one who replyed to you earlier was Stormx2
[12:24] <jrib> Angelus: what are you trying to install?
[12:24] <ikonia> jasin: when I said "easy guy" its because you said something 3 times, I didn't notice you where correcting yourself
[12:24] <Angelus> I'm trying to install firefox v2
[12:24] <erUSUL> seba: the kernel doees not have stages it is a single monolithic elf executable
[12:24] <Aggort> the install won't start
[12:25] <lam_yh> hey ..i never used this chat
[12:25] <jrib> Angelus: firefox2.0 is default on ubuntu edgy
[12:25] <jasin> ikonia, I know what i said and how many times I said it.
[12:25] <professor> oh im sorryt
[12:25] <Angelus> I'm using dapper
[12:25] <lam_yh> is a chat to help ubuntu users ?
[12:25] <jasin> ikonia, I said it, afterall.
[12:25] <ikonia> jasin: I didn't say you didn't
[12:25] <Aggort> It jsut keeps sayign starting the partitioner and then nothing pops up
[12:25] <erUSUL> seba: well it can link modules at runtime but that's another matter
[12:25] <JayRoe> How do I start a program on screen 1 from a console on screen 0, anyone?
[12:25] <jontec_> lam_yh: yes
[12:25] <heapme> jrib really? wonder why it's not defaault on kubuntu edgy :(
[12:25] <lam_yh> oh..thank y very much
[12:25] <mnoir> lam_yh: yes do you have a question - ask it
[12:25] <jrib> heapme: just install the firefox package.  I guess kubuntu uses konq by default?
[12:26] <jrib> Angelus: why not upgrade?
[12:26] <lam_yh> mnoir: where are you from ?
[12:26] <jasin> ikonia, I never said you did, learn to listen.
[12:26] <jontec_> !welcome | lam_yh
[12:26] <ubotu> lam_yh: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel.
[12:26] <Angelus> how do I do that jrib?
[12:26] <heapme> kde uses konq by default and i had to enable like backports for firefox2 in kubuntu edgy
[12:26] <n2diy> ! workspace
[12:26] <jrib> !upgrade | Angelus
[12:26] <Falstius> Aggort: You clicked "next" from the partitioner?
[12:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about workspace - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:26] <ubotu> Angelus: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[12:26] <lam_yh> ow tks a lot ! :D
[12:26] <seba> erUSUL the kernel have a boot stage, /kernel/boot/
[12:26] <Aggort> Fals yeas
[12:26] <jasin>  ikonia!*@* added to ignore list.
[12:26] <seba> erUSUL all the OS have that
[12:26] <ikonia> jasin: just drop the attitude, I was trying to explain to you why I said "easy guy" when you said about wiping his hard disk 3 time earlier, I didn't realise you where correcting yourself
[12:26] <mkudzin> I have a question. How does nautilus sort filenames?  I can't seem to get it to recognize LC_COLLATE
[12:26] <heapme> and firefox2 crashes the heck out of kde for me
[12:26] <Aggort> I am at the Prepare Mount Points and I click forward and then i get the message
[12:27] <jasin> aggort, that sbecause you created no partitions.
[12:27] <Aggort> jasin i did
[12:27] <Angelus> ahh I thought you meant upgrade firefox, I can't upgrate ubuntu because I'm on dial up
[12:27] <erUSUL> seba: /kernel/boot/ <-- the path is from kernel sources?
[12:27] <Falstius> Aggort: which message?
[12:27] <ikonia> Angelus: why does that stop you ?
[12:27] <seba> erUSUL yes
[12:28] <Angelus> it's 600m to download, I've tried :)
[12:28] <kaoz> can someone tell me how to find out what locale i am using please?
[12:28] <jrib> Angelus: ok in that case:
[12:28] <jrib> !firefox | Angelus
[12:28] <ubotu> Angelus: firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins
[12:28] <ikonia> no its not
[12:28] <seba> erUSUL /kernel-x.x.x/boot/
[12:28] <Aggort> It's froze on starting the partioner at 50% at scannign disks
[12:28] <ikonia> firefox isn't 600 meg
[12:28] <Stoffer> does ubuntu have built-in wifi support?
[12:28] <heapme> Aggort if you're worried about things you might want to just download vmware server for windows (it's free) and practicing installing linux on there before you do a real install on your hardware. i did that and it gave me a lot of confidence
[12:28] <Angelus> no upgrading to edgy is :)
[12:28] <jasin> aggort, you have to format them each time and comitt the changes not just once or before.
[12:28] <jontec_> !cabextract
[12:28] <ikonia> Stoffer: it has wifi tools
[12:28] <ubotu> cabextract: a program to extract Microsoft Cabinet files. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.1-1 (edgy), package size 43 kB, installed size 144 kB
[12:28] <ikonia> Angelus: why upgrade to edgy
[12:28] <phixnay> hi everyone
[12:29] <Aggort> I;m not at all worried
[12:29] <Aggort> I got nothing to lose
[12:29] <Angelus> jrib suggested it lol
[12:29] <Aggort> I just want this to install
[12:29] <phixnay> I'm having trouble setting my resolution to 1440x900, can someone help me?
[12:29] <LinTux> IKONIA: are you on eithernet or wifi
[12:29] <Aggort> the install jsut won;t start
[12:29] <ikonia> LinTux: I'm on wifi at th emoment on my laptop sat downstairs
[12:29] <heapme> Aggort theres no reason it shouldnt install if you created a / and swap partition , and then just start installing, it will format them probably and then install. the end
[12:29] <mnoir> !fixres | phixnay
[12:29] <ubotu> phixnay: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type "sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart" in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[12:29] <Stoffer> ok, but would I have to find drivers for my D-link card before installing, or are there any included?  I'm working off a wireless desktop here.
[12:29] <erUSUL> seba: i have the latest git snapshot here and no boot/
[12:29] <Falstius> Aggort: it is possible that when you did the initial partition in windows it created a nonstandard partition table.
[12:29] <jasin> aggort, if it froze while trying to format the hd then your hard drive either has error or you didn't create the partitions properly.
[12:29] <kaoz> !locale
[12:29] <ubotu> To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf
[12:30] <jasin> aggort, if it froze while trying to format the hard drive then your hard drive either has errors or you didn't create the partitions properly.
[12:30] <erUSUL> seba: but anyway what do you wnat to ask specifically?
[12:30] <LinTux> I have been unlucky with several WIFI cards, any recommendations?
[12:30] <Aggort> Is it possible I ran out of RAM or something
[12:30] <Aggort> I've been on ehre for a long time
[12:30] <ikonia> LinTux: anything with good kernel support
[12:30] <axisme> lintux, intel pro wireless
[12:30] <Stormx2> Guys
[12:30] <ikonia> LinTux: thats why I'm using too
[12:30] <jasin> aggort, not possible with linux, ubuntu linux only need 128 to run.
[12:30] <ikonia> s/why/what
[12:30] <LinTux> axisme: cheers m8
[12:31] <Stormx2> Is there a simple way to make the common dialogs (open, save, etc) a larger size?
[12:31] <Aggort> the isntaller crashed
[12:31] <Aggort> I got a emssage
[12:31] <jasin> aggort, once again, if it froze while trying to format the hard drive then your hard drive either has errors or you didn't create the partitions properly.
[12:31] <jontec_> jasin: that gui installer is real buggy... I remember using the kubuntu one, I ended up having to use install gparted on the live cd for x64.
[12:31] <Falstius> Aggort: I like you need like 196mb of ram for the live CD installer.
[12:31] <storminc> professor: im sorry but the one who replyed to you earlier was Stormx2
[12:31] <storminc> can anyone tell me how the scripts in /etc/acpi work. do i need to symlink what i want to battery.d etc?
[12:31] <Aggort> jasin: can;t be the ahrd drive Windows is on it and working
[12:31] <jasin> jontec, that snot ubuntu thats kubuntu, kubuntu is bugy, has been since it was created.
[12:31] <ColinT> I have problems with installing hplip does anyone know why it hangs and don't install?
[12:32] <jasin> aggort, umm yes it can.
[12:32] <seba> erUSUL this part of the kernel makes a gdt load the kernel and set protected mode, and then the kernel makes the page directory and loads the entries,, well, my question is how the kernel can put itself in a page?
[12:32] <jasin> aggort, windows runing does not mean the hard drive has no errors.
[12:32] <jontec_> jasin: I take offense to that :D.
[12:32] <Aggort> jasin: lol true
[12:32] <ikonia> seba: /join #kernel - lots of kernel devs to answer
[12:32] <jasin> jontec, lol
[12:32] <Aggort> jasin: I ran chk disk
[12:32] <Aggort> it keep crashing not even at the isntall step
[12:33] <jasin> jontec, I did the kubuntu thing, and i got rid of it. Kubuntu is bugy!
[12:33] <seba> ikonia thanks
[12:33] <ikonia> seba: I've found some great discussions in there
[12:33] <ikonia> very friendly considering the IQ of some of the guys
[12:33] <jasin> aggort, chkdsk is not very good.
[12:33] <Wolfpaws> How can I change window manager?
[12:33] <seba> erUSUL thanks, i will change to kernel channel
[12:33] <erUSUL> seba: a tipycal kernel is ~1MB even more this days and a page in x86 is 4k what you say is either flawed or incomplete
[12:33] <Angelus> thanks for all your help guys
[12:33] <Angelus> see you next time :)
[12:33] <Aggort> jasin: It's lokcing up at the keybaord selection
[12:34] <jasin> aggort, chkdsk dont find error in the mbr, it wont find low leve errors,etc..
[12:34] <jasin> aggort, chkdsk dont find error in the mbr, it wont find low level errors,etc..
[12:34] <phixnay> so can anyone help me fix this resolution problem? I've tried everything I know of
[12:34] <seba> erUSUL well, i wanted to say all the kernel in different pages
[12:34] <Aggort> jasin: I know, but why is the isntaller doing this?
[12:34] <seba> erUSUL no problem,  thanks
[12:35] <Falstius> Aggort: I thought you said it was locking up at a scanning disks.
[12:35] <jasin> aggort, ok, well since you know more then the experts here then have at it, fix the computer.
[12:35] <Aggort> jasin: don;t be rude
[12:35] <jasin> aggort, have fun
[12:35] <Intangir> is there a way to save your gnome panels configurations?
[12:35] <jasin> aggort, dont be arrogant and argumentative.
[12:35] <Intangir> there should be a way to save it to a file or something, and import it on another machine
[12:35] <jontec_> jasin: I have a successful install on my desktop.... just about everything works. :D My laptop is crap with it, though. I keep having network problems with samba, I think (ha! not kubuntu's fault) either that or just my network card in general.
[12:35] <Intangir> or user
[12:35] <erUSUL> seba: as i said it is grub who copies the kernel bynary (and the initrd if any) into memory and from then on the kernel execs itself
[12:35] <Falstius> jasin: I think 'experts' is a bit of an overstatement.
[12:35] <ColinT> I have problems with installing hplip does anyone know why it hangs and don't install? Any help or hint would be most valued. .-)
[12:36] <jontec_> jasin: plus gnome is not smart.
[12:36] <anorexicpillow> Hey... uh i want to import my calendar from the ubuntu one to sun bird... where is the data?
[12:36] <Aggort> Fals: It did, and closed it's self. When i reopneded it I tried to get through the installer and now it just hangs at the keyboard
[12:36] <phixnay> I want to set the monitor to its preferred resolution of 1440x900, but everything I've tried has not worked, and I've tried a lot of things
[12:36] <jasin> aggort, either you want help or you do not, and from the looks of things you dont, all you do is argue.
[12:36] <jontec_> Falstius: vetrans
[12:36] <jontec_> Falstius: veterans
[12:36] <Aggort> Jasin: Your being arrogant not me. I am not arguing I am giving simple facts
[12:36] <lam_yh> how can i register in this chat?
[12:37] <Aggort> jasin: Obviously I want some help and I need some serious serious help
[12:37] <jasin> Falstius, i'm a programer and computer technician, so speak for yourself.
[12:37] <anorexicpillow>  uh... /msg nickserv register?
[12:37] <phixnay> is irc ignoring me or something???
[12:37] <Aggort> for crying outloud I can't even copy and apste on ehre anymore
[12:37] <jasin> jontec, how so?
[12:37] <phixnay> CAN ANYONE SEE THIS?
[12:38] <anorexicpillow> yes
[12:38] <Intangir> YES!
[12:38] <anorexicpillow> its a big chat room u may have to wait a bit
[12:38] <phixnay> but you don't know how to help?
[12:38] <Aggort> Fals: Did you read what i said about the keyboard?
[12:38] <phixnay> ok
[12:38] <anorexicpillow> whats ur question?
[12:38] <phixnay> I'm trying to set my resolution to 1440x900 but it won't go
[12:38] <Aggort> Fals:
[12:38] <Aggort> ?
[12:38] <jontec_> jasin: it's ugly, and its programs don't integrate. everything intergrates on KDE.
[12:38] <anorexicpillow> oh right... as far as i know its not possible
[12:39] <Falstius> Aggort: what are you trying to install ubuntu on, what is the machine?  And I asked if it was getting stuck and scanning disks or asking for the keyboard?  Try typng something into the test area for the keyboard and see if the "next" (or is it forward?) button becomes active.
[12:39] <phixnay> ah
[12:39] <Aggort> It's a custome built machine
[12:39] <anorexicpillow> i know i cant get mine any bigger
[12:39] <anorexicpillow> you may be best to continue to ask in here or on the forums
[12:39] <Aggort> It got stuck at the canning but I clsoed it so I tried again and it froze at the kayborad
[12:39] <cyphase> the Linux questions are funny :)
[12:39] <phixnay> ok
[12:39] <jasin> jontec, ugly? my gnome desktop has better graphics then my windows desktop ever did.
[12:39] <Aggort> I typed stuff there, but it did nto become active again
[12:40] <phixnay> so you can't get your monitor to work on it's default resolution either?
[12:40] <Nomad_> I just have a fast question.  I'm trying to try out Ubuntu on my old computer, and doesn't seem to be doing anything.  It loaded and "configured" a bunch of stuff, and now is just sitting at a blank screen with a blinking cursor.
[12:40] <jasin> jontec, integrate? what you tryign to intergrate?
[12:40] <heapme> beauty is in the eye of the beholder
[12:40] <anorexicpillow> i dont know :S
[12:40] <anorexicpillow> ima  newb myself :P
[12:40] <HuibertGill> !locales
[12:40] <phixnay> ok
[12:40] <ubotu> To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf
[12:40] <Falstius> Aggort: is it still running or did you kill it right away?  And please be patient, I don't install ubuntu on a daily basis so I don't remember the exact order of steps.
[12:40] <heapme> i've been using linux off and on for 9 years and am still a newbie
[12:40] <Tonren> Could someone please tell me what's wrong with my postfix when I install it? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/593/
[12:40] <anorexicpillow> btw... does anyone know where the evolution calendar data is?
[12:41] <n2diy> Nomad_: how long has it been cooking?
[12:41] <ColinT> What does this mean: gedit has not been able to detect the character coding.
[12:41] <Nomad_> My main question is if there is a list of system requirements in the docs somewhere?  I can't seem to find it anywhere
[12:41] <xtknight> jontec_: are you saying Qt-based applications do not use the GNOME theme?  or do you mean when you're in root mode that only the stock GTK theme is used?
[12:41] <jontec_> jasin: but I'm comparing it to kde. :D kde > gnome ?> windows
[12:41] <Nomad_> n2diy: Probably 20 minutes
[12:41] <mwalker_mewconsu> so far what I enjoy about Ubuntu linux is the speed in starting up the OS
[12:41] <cheeseboy16> how do i change what it says on grub menu?
[12:41] <heapme> mwalker_mewconsu and you can make it even faster
[12:41] <xtknight> cheeseboy16: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst  in root
[12:41] <Aggort> Fals: I know, and I didn't kill it when it froze on scanning disks, it locked up and gave me a bug report. Now I still have the keyboard running
[12:41] <n2diy> Nomad_: and no activity with the cdrom and HD?
[12:42] <jontec_> xtknight: I mean that the default ubuntu theme for gnome is ugly. Kubuntu's KDE theme for kde is better. :D that's what I'm saying.
[12:42] <Nomad_> n2diy: No, doesn't seem to be doing anything anymore.
[12:42] <xtknight> jontec_: ohh
[12:42] <mnoir> cheeseboy16: by editing /boot/grub/menu.lst
[12:42] <Tonren> Ugh.... why is this stupid mail server crap so hard?
[12:42] <jasin> jontec, The beauty you seem in kubuntu is a kubuntu thing, kde by default without any of the kubuntu tweak and confiurations is pretty ugly.
[12:42] <Nomad_> Just have that blinking cursor on a blank screen.
[12:42] <n2diy> Nomad_: Can you turn your cap led on and off with the cap lock key?
[12:42] <mwalker_mewconsu> I would eventually like the ability install Windows XP Pro inside Linux as I've heard it can be done, but I'm not sure SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 would run inside Windows, inside Linux....
[12:42] <IceTox> Hey guys! My computer is going very slow.. You guys are able to help me out finding out what makes it slowing down?
[12:42] <Nomad_> n2diy: No, it appears not.
[12:42] <jontec_> jasin: maybe, but it makes no sense to install kde on standard ubuntu
[12:42] <Falstius> Did you click next and then it froze or was the next button not available?
[12:42] <xtknight> mwalker_mewconsu: sure they would if you used a virtual machine.  they may even work under wine, but i doubt it
[12:43] <Falstius> Aggort: Did you click next and then it froze or was the next button not available?
[12:43] <n2diy> Nomad_: ok, your hung, how much ram do you have?
[12:43] <heapme> mwalker_mewconsu it can using things like vmware or qemu but it would be slower to run and visual studio is already slow as it is
[12:43] <Aggort> Falstius: No it's after I clicked forward
[12:43] <xtknight> not as slow as eclipse
[12:43] <jasin> jontec, what for? anything you can run on a kde desktop can be run in gnome.
[12:43] <mnoir> jontec_: makes sense if you want to run KDE instead of gnome
[12:43] <Tonren> Could someone please tell me what's wrong with my postfix when I install it? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/593/
[12:43] <Nomad_> n2diy: Um.  Like, 96?  32 + 64?
[12:43] <ColinT> What does this mean: gedit has not been able to detect the character coding. And how can I solve the problem?
[12:44] <jasin> jontec, kwifi, kde games, klaptop.. all work in gnome just as they do in kubuntu.
[12:44] <jontec_> mnoir: but talking about adept in an ubuntu channel just isn't good.
[12:44] <n2diy> Nomad_: ok, that is the problem, 256 is the suggested min, but I have squeaked by with 196.
[12:44] <mwalker_mewconsu> yah and I need Visual Studio for work. I'm aware of Mono but I'm not sure it's in a state where I could use it yet.
[12:44] <HeathenDan> how come when i click on networking, i get "the configuration could not be loaded" error?
[12:44] <Aggort> Fals: Did you get that?
[12:45] <Nomad_> n2diy: Ahh.  I see.  It would really help if there was a list of requirements somewhere on the main site.  I scanned around and couldn't find anything.  If it's there, it should be more apparent.  Well, thank you anyway.
[12:45] <Falstius> Aggort: yeah, I'm just trying to think of what you should do.
[12:45] <jasin> mwalker, linux has its own ide's, editors, and compilers.
[12:45] <jasin> mwalker, you dont need visual studio in linux
[12:45] <xtknight> mwalker left already :P
[12:45] <Aggort> Fals: Honestly, I tihnk if I rebooted I;d be fine. Since I can't apst now, can't copy, can't take a screen shot
[12:45] <xtknight> jasin:  what would you say is the best C++ IDE for GNOME/linux?
[12:45] <jasin> xtknight, i dont have a user list
[12:45] <n2diy> Nomad_: yes, you might look at the wiki? I only know because is on the CD sleeve.
[12:45] <Falstius> Aggort: probably.
[12:45] <Aggort> lol
[12:45] <Aggort> brb
[12:46] <jasin> best? thats personal opinion.
[12:46] <anorexicpillow> is there a way to import my appointments from Evolution to Mozilla Sunbird?
[12:46] <xtknight> i'd like your opinion
[12:46] <xtknight> :)
[12:46] <Nomad_> n2diy: I downloaded the ISO, so I don't have a CD sleeve.  Won't do much good looking at them now as I know it won't work.  Heh.  Thanks again.
[12:46] <xtknight> i just haven't found any that can stand a chance to visual studio, imho
[12:47] <n2diy> anorexicpillow: did you run sunbird, and try its import function?
[12:47] <cafuego_> cyphase: It's an interesting pice of fud, isn't it? Nowhere do they mention that content applies to the US only.
[12:47] <anorexicpillow> yah but i dont know where its located?
[12:47] <Tonren> Could someone please tell me what's wrong with my postfix when I install it? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/593/
[12:47] <jesse> hello
[12:47] <anorexicpillow> file import... where are the evolution files located?
[12:47] <xtknight> anorexicpillow: ~/.evolution i believe
[12:47] <cyphase> cafuego_: "oops"
[12:48] <my_key> is it true that running irssi from a shell on your local machine is very insecure. Should i really run it from a bouncerhost or in a jail or something like that?
[12:48] <n2diy> anorexicpillow: probably in .evolution somewhere?
[12:48] <cafuego_> cyphase: ... or that they were told that region locking DVD players is actually not permitted in Australia for instance.
[12:48] <anorexicpillow> okay so the how do i get there... usr? tmp?
[12:48] <cafuego_> my_key: No, it's not true.
[12:49] <cyphase> cafuego_: it's that damn DMCA
[12:49] <jasin> Anjuta is pretty good
[12:49] <cafuego_> Tonren: You're missing a localhost entry in /etc/hosts
[12:49] <n2diy> anorexicpillow: /home/your user name
[12:49] <jasin> i've used Anjuta before
[12:50] <cafuego_> cyphase: We now have something of that sort here (a worse one than the US) but it's still not illegal to use DeCSS to watch your DVDs on Linux (or format-shift them to say an iPod)
[12:50] <Tonren> cafuego_: I don't think so.  127.0.0.1 localhost mylaptop is the first line
[12:50] <ColinT> I am trying to install a hp printer but can't quiet get it to work anyone clever?
[12:50] <xtknight> jasin:  ahh ok ill give that a shot . thanks
[12:50] <cafuego_> Tonren: hrm
[12:50] <jesse> anyone here know how to get printer working on Ubuntu
[12:51] <axisme> cups
[12:51] <jesse> ya
[12:51] <cyphase> cafuego_: "here" is australia, right?
[12:51] <linuxfanstar> anyone know a live cd that has ntfs/fat32 read and write built in?
[12:51] <jesse> I posted my problem here: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=332224
[12:51] <n2diy> jesse: click on system/admin/printing?
[12:51] <Tonren> cafuego_: All I wanted to do was get TWiki running... but it wouldn't let me turn off authentication, so I needed to register a user to edit anything, so I figured I'd get a mail server running so I could register.
[12:51] <ColinT> axisme: what is cups and where do i get it?
[12:51] <cafuego_> cyphase: yah
[12:52] <jesse> I wish it was that easy
[12:52] <xtknight> ColinT:  cups is included with Ubuntu
[12:52] <xtknight> !cups
[12:52] <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
[12:52] <techfun> groin protection, any sporting goods store
[12:52] <heapme> cups is a song by underword, or something you drink out of or the printing system included with ubuntu
[12:52] <jasin> a lot of people brag about kdevelop over on the kde side.
[12:52] <heapme> *underworld
[12:52] <Cholito> ok, I have a problem with my system for the last 10 hours and I don't know how to solve it. Please read this post: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=332220
[12:52] <jasin> never used kdevelop myself though.
[12:52] <cafuego_> cyphase: The "But don't you want Linux users to watch DVDs" is a nice one. What with them not answering the actual question <heh>
[12:52] <xtknight> i wasnt too imrpessed with kdevelop myself
[12:52] <lupine_85> kdevelop++
[12:52] <ColinT> xknighgt: well. Then I am afraid I am a bit confused when cups is the answer to get a printer to work.
[12:52] <Savage-{> anybody have problems opening up .ico files in gimp?
[12:52] <axisme> jesse, did you look on the brother website?
[12:53] <Klesk> if i install winxp after ubuntu on the same harddrive, what happens with grub?
[12:53] <jesse> Yes
[12:53] <linuxfanstar> does anyone know a live cd with full ntfs support built in?
[12:53] <xtknight> ColinT: it is included with ubuntu but not all printers are supported, and not all work by default
[12:53] <axisme> they had the file on there?
[12:53] <jesse> I did everything that was there
[12:53] <magic_ninja> !firewall
[12:53] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[12:53] <jesse> and still not printing
[12:53] <xtknight> ColinT: i will only be able to help if i know your printer model
[12:53] <mkudzin> Can anybody help me with sorting filenames in the File Browser?
[12:53] <Savage-{> Klesk: it could overwrite the MBR with the windows bootloader
[12:53] <Savage-{> Klesk: then just reinstall grub
[12:53] <magic_ninja> what applications would you guys reccomend
[12:53] <ColinT> xknighgt: It works allright. But it using loads of ink and not very clear. My problem is that I try to install hplip but dosen't quiet work

[12:54] <Klesk> Savage-{: can i do that with my live cd?
[12:54] <Savage-{> Klesk: yeah
[12:54] <twisties> !grub

[12:54] <ReinH> Anyone familiar with libxslt in Ubuntu? xslt-config is not in my path after sudo apt-get install libxslt1.1
[12:55] <ColinT> xknighgt: Well. Where shall I start.  Tried to install hplip, but it wont autorun. Then I have tried to to it by writing command in Terminal. But it stops and hnags at the same place everytime
[12:55] <ReinH> the usual install process should install that script, right?
[12:55] <mkudzin> n2diy: I added the line LC_COLLATE="C" to my .profile.  However, the File Browser now puts files beginning with a dot at the END of the list, instead of the beginning.
[12:55] <jasin> kdevelop got the most votes in this poll here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/poll.php?do=showresults&pollid=786
[12:55] <xtknight> ColinT: type my name exactly or else it wont be any good :D  i need it to highlight
[12:55] <kogber> Gnome users: I am writing a Howto for the forum, and using kde, and I need a Gnome version of how to add a process to Autostart (xbindkeys, specifically).  Anyone care to help?
[12:55] <Tonren> cafuego_: Typing "sendmail" gets this error: sendmail: fatal: bad string length 0 < 1: setgid_group =
[12:55] <ColinT> xknighgt: Must be doign somethign wrong but not sure what.
[12:55] <Savage-{> Klesk: type grub in console then type root (hdx,x) -> setup (hdx)
[12:55] <mkudzin> If I do "ls -al" in a terminal, it comes out correct.
[12:55] <cafuego_> Tonren: is /etc/mailname empty or something?
[12:55] <ColinT> xtknight: sorry
[12:55] <xtknight> jesse: sorry, im not sure what to do to fix your problem
[12:55] <cyphase> Does anyone know of a rhythmbox 0.9.7 deb for edgy?
[12:55] <ReinH> Anyone familiar with libxslt?
[12:56] <Tonren> cafuego_: Umm, it doesn't exist.
[12:56] <xtknight> ColinT: what is HPLIP exactly?
[12:56] <n2diy> mkudzin: what happens when you click on "name"?
[12:56] <cafuego_> Tonren: create it and plonk a nice name in it, see if that helps
[12:56] <xtknight> ColinT: hp printer control panel if I recall?  is it suposed to have a linux version?
[12:56] <cyphase> there was one on the forums a few days ago, but the link is returning a 404
[12:56] <Tonren> cafuego_: Is /etc/mailname a hostname or a username?
[12:56] <cafuego_> Tonren: a hostname
[12:56] <Savage-{> anybody have problems opening up .ico files in gimp?
[12:56] <ColinT> xtknight: Was informed it was an updated driver for HP printer being able to control ink, printing and paper quality. To be able to use the same printer control as when I had WIN.
[12:57] <Tonren> cafuego_: Exact same error.
[12:57] <cafuego_> Tonren: fqdn even
[12:57] <ja_> Can anyone tell me what the "preserve times" option in rsync does?
[12:57] <franky_> hello anyone knows about a bug in totem freezing the computer ?
[12:57] <mkudzin> n2diy:  I can sort the files either alphabetically (but with the dot-files at the end) or with the dot-files as the beginning, but in reverse alphabetical order.
[12:57] <xtknight> ColinT: well i also have an hp printer so ill see if i can get it installed myself
[12:57] <jesse> My keyboard is messed up my DVD drive is not recognized and my printer wont print damn so far Linux is not treating me kindly
[12:57] <xtknight> ColinT: if i can, ill tell you how
[12:57] <cafuego_> ja_: that should not change the creation/modification tiemstamps on transferred files.
[12:57] <ColinT> xtknight:  :-) How kind.
[12:57] <Cholito> does anyone knows a bug in cdrecord?
[12:57] <xtknight> ColinT: i really miss the options for my hp printer.  i had no idea
[12:57] <ColinT> xtknight:  But most people say they just installed it.
[12:57] <n2diy> mkudzin: ok, that is the only way I know how to do it.
[12:58] <xtknight> ColinT: werent they missing in win2k/xp too?
[12:58] <xtknight> ColinT: i only remember HP settings in windows 98 when hp made the driver themselves
[12:58] <anorexicpillow> I still cant find the evolution files.. can someone tell me how to get to them through the file browser?
[12:58] <xtknight> anorexicpillow: show hidden files
[12:58] <jasin> http://openprinting.org/ has hp printer drivers for linus
[12:58] <ja_> cafuego, thanks. Does that mean that regardless of what the time stamp is, it will be untouched on the destination?
[12:58] <ReinH> Anyone with libxslt experience know how to properly install it on ubuntu? xslt-config isn't in my path after I install the libxslt1.1 gem
[12:58] <ColinT> xtknight:  well I had ME.  Very fond of the printer and it printed everything perfect. But then ME was a moneywaster
[12:58] <jasin> linus=linux
[12:59] <kogber> Gnome users: I am writing a Howto for the forum, and I need a Gnome version of how to add a process to Autostart (xbindkeys, specifically).  Anyone with some experience, plz message me
[12:59] <xtknight> ColinT: did you use the HPLIP in the Ubuntu repositories or do you want/need a newer version off hp's site?

[12:59] <guiss> hi guys, does anyone know if nowadays a via rhine II based network card works under edgy? 'cause I can't get it to load as eth0 neither with dapper lastest kernel nor with edgy lastest
[12:59] <Stoffer> is there a non-live cd version of ubuntu I can install?  Because the old laptop I'm trying it out on just can't handle a live-cd
[12:59] <ja_> cafuego_, thanks. Does that mean that regardless of what the time stamp is, it will be untouched on the destination?
[12:59] <mkudzin> n2diy:  Thanks.  It clearly is looking at LC_COLLATE (I can tell by how it handles capital letters), but it is getting dot-files wrong.
[12:59] <ColinT> xtknight:  Not sure.
[12:59] <cafuego_> ja_: Correct, afaik.
[12:59] <anorexicpillow> meaning...
[01:00] <ColinT> xtknight:  See if I can find it out
[01:00] <axisme> jeese, did you download both the LPR and cups wrapper?
[01:00] <anorexicpillow> a step by step would help :P
[01:00] <xtknight> anorexicpillow: View->Show hidden files, double click .evolution
[01:00] <ColinT> xtknight:  Was not on a Ubuntu page, looked diffrently.... I have been at this almost all day.
[01:00] <ja_> cafuego_, cheers.
[01:00] <Tonren> cafuego_: What the hell is this "newaliases: fatal: bad string length 0 < 1: setgid_group = " monkeybusiness?
[01:00] <franky_> totem freezes the computer after launching a video even though it works with xine any clue

[01:02] <jesse> I tried doing it through the CUPS GUI but if you are talking about manipulating a text fiel of sorts then no
[01:02] <xip> Jordan_U, I dont have anything else on hand not a burner
[01:02] <xtknight> ColinT: hmm.  well type sudo apt-get install hplip
[01:02] <xip> im stuck with warty for now
[01:02] <elpargo> hi could someone tell me the implications of installing a .deb that is not on any entry from the repo list
[01:02] <Jordan_U> xip: You can do an online upgrade
[01:02] <ColinT> xtknight:  Lest go slow. So in terminal I shall type "apt-get install hplip" ?
[01:03] <xip> Jordan_U, How would I go about doing that
[01:03] <Nvening> xip, you will need to get a css packager
[01:03] <xtknight> ColinT: funny.  my deskjet 722c is not supported by hplip . oh well

[01:03] <xopey_> what's the default network manager in ubuntu (6.1)
[01:03] <cafuego_> Tonren: Dunno...

[01:04] <axisme> youa re using it as network printer, right?
[01:04] <anorexicpillow> is there a way to find .evolution threw the sunbird file finder
[01:04] <franky_> any idea about totem freezing my computer ?
[01:04] <Tonren> cafuego_: Wait... there's a line in /etc/postfix/main.cf that's "setgid_group = "
[01:04] <jesse> I can set it to Network CUPS(IPP)
[01:04] <Tonren> cafuego_: But the headers above it say that I only have to worry about it while installing a new version.
[01:04] <ColinT> xtknight:  After first entry I get (I have a NO version of Ubuntu,) a message saying somethign like hplip is already newset version
[01:04] <axisme> did you set it to that?
[01:04] <ColinT> shall I continue

[01:06] <ColinT> xtknigh: same message for this one Newest version already installed
[01:06] <Jordan_U> xip: DON'T try to upgrade directly to Dapper or Edgy though, you need to upgrade to Breezy then Dapper etc, you can't skip a version

[01:08] <ColinT> xtknigh: Lost of writing... then... "failed to open device" get a pop up with a long message in
[01:08] <Tonren> dRK_sHd0w: All I want is for TWiki to work, but it won't let me turn off authentication, so I have to register a user, and in order to do that, my mail server has to be working.
[01:08] <axisme> jesse, you looking in pm window?
[01:09] <Tonren> dRK_sHd0w: And I figure, I ought to know how to set up a mail server anyway, since I'm learning all sorts of admin stuff.

[01:15] <franky_> I tried all the pages and I didn't find a clue about totem freezing my computer any clue ?
[01:15] <Miles> I'm afraid i need some help. I wonder how many eyes just rolled?
[01:15] <bruenig> Thug-N-Me, by doesn't exist I mean the package on that particular server
 the link its down looks like that repo hasnt got it anymore
[01:15] <phr34ck> Guys, Frostwire is not quitting. Each time I click the "x" button it just minimises .... and there are no processes for it so I can kill it.
[01:15] <phr34ck> What should I do ?
[01:16] <xip> OMG 450MB to download to upgrade from warty to hoary O_o
[01:16] <Harksaw> so I'm connected to my other computer's folder in File Browser, all the files are smb://somethingorother, but I can't play them directly, I can only copy them onto my computer. How can I play them directly? Do I need to mount that folder somehow?
 yeah so they dont host that package anymore .. anywhere else i can get it ?
[01:16] <Jordan_U> dav666: Try rebooting?
[01:16] <ColinT> xtknigh: oh, how interesting. When I typed the lat commando. It actually got up version 1.6.9
[01:17] <dav666>  Jordan_U: tried that twice, update manager crashed whilst in use and now it thinks its been left open
[01:17] <phr34ck> Guys, Frostwire is not quitting. Each time I click the "x" button it just minimises .... and there are no processes for it so I can kill it.
[01:17] <phr34ck> what to do ?
[01:17] <bruenig> Thug-N-Me, open a fresh terminal and copy and paste this: wget http://seveas.imbrandon.com/pool/dapper-seveas/extras/w32codecs_20060611-0.0_i386.deb && sudo dpkg -i w32codecs_20060611-0.0_i386.deb
[01:17] <xtknight> ColinT: hmm.. yeah because of apt-get
[01:17] <Miles> Does anyone have any idea how to help me out? My graphics card (Nvidia Geforce 6600) Is causing a Kernel Panic on boot. Me and my friend (who's a lot more skilled in it than I) had a look and it seems like the card is not being recognised by the kernel.
[01:17] <xipietotec> http://www.gnome.org/~jamiemcc/tracker/DEB/Edgy/ <---how would I add this to my sources.list rather than downloading?
[01:18] <Jordan_U> dav666: What happens when you try: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade ?
[01:18] <xipietotec> as in how would I format it from my sources.list file?
 thanks
[01:18] <ColinT> xtknigh: ? How can I get the Terminal screen back to accept a new commando?
[01:18] <bruenig> xipietotec, try something like this, deb http://www.gnome.org/~jamiemcc/tracker/DEB/Edgy/ ./
[01:18] <Thug-N-Me> bruenig what ver of ubuntu are you on to ?
[01:18] <pb69> Hey guys
[01:18] <sgamer> anyone else ever gotten a modprobe exit error after trying to install alsa-source?
[01:18] <dav666>  Jordan_U: "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem."
[01:18] <bruenig> xipietotec, not certain it will work but if it did that would be what it would look like
[01:19] <bruenig> Thug-N-Me, xubuntu edgy
[01:19] <xipietotec> trying
[01:19] <pb69> anyone using Iriver T30 with ubuntu
[01:19] <ColinT> xtknight: "X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 166
[01:19] <ColinT>   Major opcode:  144
[01:19] <ColinT>   Minor opcode:  3
[01:19] <ColinT>   Resource id:  0x0"
[01:19] <xtknight> ColinT: press control C to quit the program taking up the terminal
[01:19] <xtknight> ColinT: or, next time run the app with a & at the end of it
[01:19] <xtknight> ColinT: that is because we are running a kde app in gnome, disregard that
[01:19] <Thug-N-Me> bruenig ahh so not a ubuntu user :) shoul i upgrade to the newer version ? im on dapper
[01:20] <sgamer> i cant even get into recovery mode but if i hit ctrl-alt-del i can get a login prompt on the non-recovery boot
[01:20] <Jordan_U> dav666: Ok, run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a -phigh ( the -phigh will just make it ask fewer questions because otherwise it would ask a LOT of them )
[01:20] <ColinT> xtknight:  I am confused now. ctrl + C dosen't do anything
[01:20] <bruenig> Thug-N-Me, don't know a lot of people say not to, I didn't have any problems but I fresh installed so maybe that is the difference. It depends on you I guess, if you like the "if it isn't broke, don't fix it" philosophy then no, feisty is out in 4 months
[01:20] <Jordan_U> ColinT: What program do you have running in the terminal
[01:20] <Jordan_U> ?
[01:21] <xtknight> ColinT: close the HPLIP thing
[01:21] <pb69> anyone using Iriver T30 with ubuntu?
[01:21] <franky_> I have a problem with totem anyone can help ?
[01:21] <balarka> hello
[01:21] <stefan> hello
[01:21] <Jordan_U> franky_: What type of problem>
[01:21] <Tonren> This is bizarre...
[01:21] <Jordan_U> !hi | balarka
[01:21] <ubotu> balarka: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[01:21] <balarka> hi stefan
[01:21] <Tonren> Suddenly, I can IM and XChat, but I can't successfully ping anything, and I can't look at websites.
[01:21] <bruenig> !anyone
[01:21] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[01:21] <balarka> thank u
[01:22] <Miles> Anyone got any clues towards solving the issue between A Kernel panic and a Geforce 6600 card? i'm afraid i can't solve it via drivers.
[01:22] <dav666>  Jordan_U: "whiptail: error while loading shared libraries: libnewt.so.0.52: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[01:22] <dav666> debconf: whiptail output to the above errors, giving up!"
[01:22] <Thug-N-Me> bruenig well every time a new version of ubuntu was out i (fresh) install it to except this time ... dapper works good here so i might stick with it untill feisty is out
[01:22] <ColinT> xtknight: last commando was sudo /usr/bin/hp-toolbox
[01:22] <balarka> i am new to this community
[01:22] <franky_> Jordan_U, my computer freezes when I launch a video with it and it is the default application wich is anoying ...
[01:22] <balarka> can u tell me a place where
[01:22] <balarka> i can find
[01:22] <xtknight> ColinT: yes...so did you get your terminal back now?
[01:22] <balarka> some projects now going on
[01:22] <Thug-N-Me> bruenig thanks for you help, gtg bye
[01:22] <Tonren> Has anyone had this problem before?
[01:22] <ColinT> xtknight: No. It is the reply from that commando that still is in treh window and when I type I just get a new line
[01:22] <Miles> Could anyone help me out?
[01:22] <xtknight> Tonren: dns server/cache maybe
[01:22] <franky_> Jordan_U, any clue ?
[01:22] <ColinT> but no directory etc
[01:23] <Tonren> xtknight: Could you elaborate?
[01:23] <xtknight> ColinT: umm .. did you close the HPLIP toolbox program that opened/
[01:23] <elpargo> if I install something with gdebi will all the other package managers reconize it?
[01:23] <dav666>  Jordan_U: Thanks for your help but I think I am just going to do a full reinstall. Only thing I can think of
[01:23] <balarka> looks everyone busy
[01:23] <bruenig> xipietotec, did that work?
[01:23] <xtknight> Tonren: look up DNS and maybe it will make sense...i'd have to explain a lot though hehe
[01:23] <xtknight> !dn
[01:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dn - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:23] <Jordan_U> dav666: OK, out of curiosity did you use any 3rd party repos or automatix?
[01:23] <Tonren> xtknight: Well, how would I clear my cache?
[01:23] <xtknight> !dns
[01:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dns - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:24] <ColinT> xtknight: Done now. Yep got back the terminal. (It's like ten years ince last time I ran a computer from commando)
[01:24] <bruenig> !automatix | Jonbo
[01:24] <ubotu> Jonbo: 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
[01:24] <JayRoe> "C compiler cannot create executables." Can someone tell me how to fix this error?
[01:24] <Asc> Is there a driver that I can use if I don't want video acceleration?
[01:24] <xtknight> Tonren: you wouldnt want to do that.  nothing would work then.  it's just that xchat is in your cache
[01:24] <Asc> an xorg driver I mean
[01:24] <Jonbo> ?
[01:24] <ColinT> xtknight: Right Terminal is back.
[01:24] <xtknight> Tonren: your dns server is probably down
[01:24] <bruenig> sorry Jonbo
[01:24] <Tonren> xtknight: Do you think maybe my ISP's DNS server isn't working?
[01:24] <xtknight> Tonren: exactly
[01:24] <Twinxor> oh wonderful, the keybindings on snes9x are hardcoded in the source!
[01:24] <Tonren> xtknight: Do me a flava fave.  What's Google's IP addres?
[01:24] <xtknight> ColinT: ok so terminal is back and you get a directory or not?
[01:24] <dav666> Jordan_U: no, i just got an error now from update manager stating "Error: BrokenCount > 0" I think that means it's screwed
[01:24] <bruenig> Twinxor, well at least it is open source
[01:24] <xtknight> Tonren: 72.14.203.99
[01:24] <bepogi> minor ?: i wanted to try out kde so i apt-get kde.  didn't like it so i removed it (successfully), but now the boot screens (where the meter goes up and down and stuff) is kubuntu.  How do I reset that to ubuntu?
[01:25] <Twinxor> yeah, now I'm going to recompile it :/
[01:25] <Tonren> xtknight: Yep.  That loads just fine.
[01:25] <bruenig> We really should get a factoid for people with the kubuntu splash problem
[01:25] <Aggort2> What does error 17 mean and how do I fix it?
[01:25] <Nvening> lol
[01:25] <Miles> Anyone care to help me out with my Kernel Panic error on boot?
[01:25] <bepogi> heh.
[01:25] <dav666> Jordan_U: never mind, thanks for helping. I'll just do a full reinstall. Cheers
[01:25] <Tonren> xtknight: This sucks... what the hell kind of ISP lets their DNS go down for more than like 2 minutes?
[01:25] <ColinT> xtknight: I think I have my default one. name@name-laptop:~$
[01:25] <xtknight> Tonren: use 4.2.2.1 as a dns server
[01:25] <xtknight> ColinT: ok yeah
[01:26] <Twinxor> or OpenDNS
[01:26] <Nvening> lol, look what i just found http://www.flickr.com/photos/86444323@N00/81971182/ (minor cencory needed) and yes it is to do with ubuntu
[01:26] <Twinxor> http://opendns.com/
[01:26] <Tonren> xtknight: Wait a minute... this isn't my ISP's fault
[01:26] <bruenig> !offtopic
[01:26] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[01:26] <xtknight> lol
[01:26] <sgamer> i need to figure out at least how to get to a recovery mode where my file system doesnt mount read only because of boot errors
[01:26] <Nvening> lol, fine
[01:26] <Tonren> xtknight: I just went to Google.com adn a few other places on another computer on this same network, and it worked.
[01:26] <sgamer> because recovery mode is sticking with the same modprobe problem
[01:26] <Tonren> xtknight: That must mean it's my fault.
[01:26] <xtknight> Tonren: hmm
[01:26] <JayRoe> ubotu can you tell me how to get around this: "C compiler cannot create executables."
[01:26] <sgamer> and all i did was follow the forum sticky on how to install alsa from alsa-source
[01:26] <Miles> Is anyone willing to help me out at some point?
[01:26] <Tonren> xtknight: It APPEARS that my ISP's DNS is down, but it's only affecting my laptop.

[01:27] <Miles> :(
[01:27] <Tonren> xtknight: I'm on wireless, Ubuntu, and the computer that worked was Windows connected directly to the router.
[01:27] <xtknight> Tonren: odd..
[01:27] <CIA_Agent> when I log in, I just get a blank light blue screen. What happened?
[01:27] <xtknight> Tonren: flush dns cache on laptop (dont ask me how :P )
[01:27] <Jordan_U> franky_: There are many other options for media players, also, usually if Ubuntu "freezes" it isn't actually totally frozen yet (only the GUI ) and a simple ctrl+alt+backspace will bring it back to life
[01:27] <livingdaylight> got a problem. Ubuntu live cd didn't run on my laptop
[01:27] <Tonren> xtknight: rofl.... dammit
[01:27] <bruenig> Miles, all you asked from scrolling up was "could somebody help me?" that is not specific
[01:27] <bruenig> !justask
[01:27] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:27] <pb69> Toren : about wireless, I use WPA-TIk is there support for that ?
[01:27] <Aggort2> What does error 17 mean and how do I fix it?
[01:27] <jrib> livingdaylight: use the alternate cd
[01:28] <Dralid> How do I get time & date to read (and store) the clock using local time?
[01:28] <h3xis> holy crap you guys david lee roth uses ubuntu
[01:28] <ColinT> xtknight: so any idea where to start again? (I am not to much help myself am I...)
[01:28] <Tonren> pb69: Sorry, I don't know off the top of my head.
[01:28] <livingdaylight> jrib, alternate cd is livd cd?
[01:28] <franky_> Jordan_U, it works with xine but totem completely freezes my computer and kill
[01:28] <DavidLeeRoth> on ubuntu, how do you make a user account an admin account (from an admin account)?
[01:28] <bruenig> !alternate | livingdaylight
[01:28] <ubotu> livingdaylight: 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.
[01:28] <stefan> feisty have xgl default
[01:28] <Tonren> xtknight: That's so weird, though.  Why would my DNS suddenly stop working?
[01:28] <pb69> toren :" I am dissapointed now.. (joke)
[01:28] <franky_> Jordan_U, kill X don't work even ctrl alt suppr
[01:28] <xtknight> Tonren: oh, comcast's does sometimes.
[01:29] <Tonren> xtknight: Remember, it's JUST for my laptop.  Everyone else on the network seems to be doing just fine.
[01:29] <xtknight> ColinT: lol um...the latest version off hp's site
[01:29] <CIA_Agent> when I log in with my user and password. it doesnt load into Ubuntu. No desktop. Can someone help me?
[01:29] <Jordan_U> franky_: Then run: sudo apt-get install totem-xine to make totem use xine as a backend
[01:29] <jrib> DavidLeeRoth: add the user to the "admin" group, or use system > administration > users and groups
[01:29] <franky_> Jordan_U, I already did
[01:29] <DavidLeeRoth> jrib, from the terminal>
[01:29] <xtknight> Tonren: so if you try a site youve never been to before on BOTH pcs, what happens?
[01:29] <franky_> same problem
[01:29] <livingdaylight> bruenig, yea, how do i know it will work though? i didn't get X with the live cd
[01:29] <DavidLeeRoth> how do I add the user to the admin group?
[01:29] <jrib> DavidLeeRoth: then use the first thing I said
[01:29] <CIA_Agent> anyone?!
[01:29] <cyberfr0g> I'll find out
[01:29] <ColinT> xtknight: right. Have downloaded that one.
[01:29] <jrib> DavidLeeRoth: sudo adduser user_name admin
[01:29] <DavidLeeRoth> thanks
[01:30] <Jordan_U> franky_: Are you able to get to a tty when frozen?
[01:30] <franky_> Jordan_U, no
[01:30] <Aggort2> Somebody, anybody,What does error 17 mean and how do I fix it????
[01:30] <sgamer> gonna reboot into an old kernel, hopefully i wont have to brb but i'll try my best
[01:30] <Dralid> How do I get time & date to read (and store) the clock using local time? This is a dual-boot machine, and the other OS assumes that the BIOS clock stores the time as local.
[01:30] <bruenig> livingdaylight, if you want to work at it, unless you built your own hardware from scratch, you will probably eventually be able to get it to work if it doesn't right from the start
[01:30] <JayRoe> Can someone tell me how to fix this: "C compiler cannot create executables."
[01:30] <Tonren> xtknight: I can go to ANY site on the Windows machine wired to the router.  I can't go to ANY site on my Ubuntu laptop on Wireless.
[01:30] <bruenig> !repeat | JayRoe
[01:30] <ubotu> JayRoe: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly, if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[01:30] <Aggort2> What does error 17 mean in GRUB, to specify.....
[01:30] <jrib> JayRoe: install build-essential.  What are you compiling?
[01:30] <livingdaylight> the live cd didn't run on R60e
[01:30] <xtknight> Dralid: something related to UTC maybe?
[01:30] <Miles> If someone has some free time, could they help me with an issue i'm having with my Nvidia Geforce 6600 card? It seems to be causing a kernel panic upon boot which i can't solve via drivers or updates. I've tried using both nvidia's own drivers and also using Easy Ubuntu. Acording to X.org there is NO nvidia device detected, although i am unsure if this is missing because i have never managed a successful boot with it.

[01:32] <jrib> JayRoe: no need to compile, just install from the universe repo
[01:32] <JayRoe> jrib, how do I do that?
[01:32] <ColinT> xtknight: I have by double clicking on the .run icon. That gives me a reply: gedit has not been able to detect the character coding.
[01:32] <jrib> JayRoe: have you enabled the universe repository?
[01:33] <xtknight> ColinT: oh..um ok instead of double clicking it, run in the terminal
[01:33] <trainer_> after 2 days i am STILL stuck trying to get wifi working on my laptop, can anyone help. I followed this (http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=297092) and the card is recognized, but I can't get an ip from dhcp
[01:33] <xtknight> ColinT: sudo sh filename.run
[01:33] <JayRoe> jrib, sorry I don't know what that is. Is it something like automatic and add/remove?
[01:33] <Miles> could anyone help me with an issue i'm having with my Nvidia Geforce 6600 card? It seems to be causing a kernel panic upon boot which i can't solve via drivers or updates.

[01:34] <livingdaylight> breezy?
[01:34] <alink1000> k
[01:34] <franky_> tyme- I need it running because it is the default application (else my sister kills my computer)
[01:34] <livingdaylight> ikonia, what makes you say breezy?
[01:34] <ikonia> livingdaylight: ubntu 6.0.6
[01:35] <ColinT> xtknight: (been here before) :-)) Well ask for automatic or manual instalation.
[01:35] <tyme-> franky_:  make kaffeine default
[01:35] <xtknight> dapper is 6.06, edgy is 6.10
[01:35] <loufoque> ikonia: that dapper drake
[01:35] <xtknight> breezy and hoary are older
[01:35] <ikonia> dapper, sorry
[01:35] <livingdaylight> ikonia, what about Dapper or Edgy
[01:35] <ColinT> xtknight: sorry Custom install or Auto Intall.
[01:35] <ikonia> my mistake
[01:35] <s1nn0n> Does any one have any idea why my amd 4000+ seems to capped at 1000mhz in Edgy? Bios shows it to be running at 2500mhz
[01:35] <ikonia> dapper - don't think so
[01:35] <ikonia> not certain
[01:35] <ikonia> edgy - maybe
[01:35] <livingdaylight> Dapper desktop live cd sorta crashed on me

[01:36] <xtknight> Tonren: who knows, just reboot the laptop ;)
[01:36] <ikonia> Tonren: are you running your own dns server ?
[01:36] <pb69> Tonren : check dns --help shoudl have the "clear cache command"
[01:36] <livingdaylight> anyone know about Lenovo R60e core duo 2 ? working with Ubuntu?
[01:36] <Tonren> xtknight: I wanna figure it out.
[01:36] <jpass> not sure
[01:36] <elyon225> How would I go about setting permissions for /pub so that all users can access it?
[01:36] <jpass> :)
[01:36] <ikonia> livingdaylight: check the HCL on the site
[01:36] <Tonren> ikonia: No, as far as I know, I'm using my ISPs
[01:36] <tyme-> !permissions | elyon225
[01:36] <ubotu> elyon225: 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
[01:36] <xtknight> core 2 duo is sketchy with ubuntu
[01:36] <ikonia> Tonren: cool, just checking
[01:36] <livingdaylight> ikonia, HCL?
[01:36] <ColinT> xtknight: ok. Lets try atomatic it's recommended.

[01:37] <ColinT> xtknight: Then I need to: enable the universe/multiverse repositories in Synaptic (think I'have done that)
[01:37] <Cholito> ikonia: my post is now in english and I added more info ;) http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=332220
[01:37] <Tonren> ikonia: There's also search tc.ph.cox.net
[01:37] <ikonia> Tonren: that line means its trying to use your laptop as a dns server
[01:37] <ikonia> which isn't good
[01:37] <Tonren> ikonia: IT says not to edit this file by hand.
[01:38] <ikonia> Tonren: are you using dhcp ?
[01:38] <Tonren> ikonia: Yep.
[01:38] <ColinT> xtknight: and disable the Ubuntu CD source. (think I have done that as well. Both in Source Manager.
[01:38] <franky_> tyme-, can you help ?
[01:38] <xtknight> ColinT: hmm ok
[01:38] <ikonia> Tonren: then you need to restart dhclient to get the dns servers from the dhcp server
[01:38] <Aggort> Does anyone know if there is a solution to GRUB?
[01:38] <xtknight> ColinT: well keep me posted :P

[01:39] <Arigato> where do I find the apache2 access logs?
[01:39] <Klark_Kent> hello, what package is it in synaptic that installs gcc and all that stuff? i believe it has 'essential' in the name
[01:39] <ColinT> xtknight: a lot of dependancies are missing.
[01:39] <Dralid> Jordan_U > I have a working dual-boot system, except that they cannot agree on what time it is. Both systems automatically update the clock, but ubuntu stores the time as GMT and the other OS as local.
[01:39] <trainer_> Arigato, /var/log/apache2
[01:39] <xtknight> ColinT: i guess thats why you enabled universe
[01:39] <Tonren> ikonia: I have 3 IP addresses to use.  How do I set them correctly?  Like I said, it says in /etc/resolv.conf NOT to edit it manually.
[01:39] <livingdaylight> ikonia, i'll have to try suse. They tend to work on laptops better than ubuntu

[01:39] <p3rra> --Can anyone help me to install Tibia? :>

[01:39] <Tonren> ikonia: But if it did this once, it'll do it again.  How do I stop it from using my laptop as a DNS server?
[01:39] <pb69> Dralid, usually BIos has a switch to turn 1 of the 2 cpus to be off..
[01:39] <Aggort> Because of grub not working I can't load Windows or Ubuntu
[01:40] <alink1000> wow... that... so didn't work
[01:40] <ikonia> Aggorthang on
[01:40] <ikonia> aggort hang on
[01:40] <alink1000> It just brought be to this black screen with a command type of line.
[01:40] <alink1000> that's it.
[01:40] <alink1000> I want to higher my resolution, not fix it.
[01:40] <ikonia> Tonren: for some reason your router has not offerered dhcp dns addresses
[01:40] <ColinT> xtknight: True. And then I get a wired repy that a running manager apt-get has been detected. And that I need to quit that before continue
[01:40] <ikonia> just restart the dhcp client
[01:40] <alink1000> and that thing that I was told did nothing.
[01:40] <Aggort> ikonia: Will do
[01:40] <my_key> does anyone know how to add dnsservers via the command line instead of via network admin (gui tool)? every time i shut down my wireless driver my dnsservers are lost...
[01:40] <xtknight> ColinT: synaptic maybe
[01:41] <alink1000> so... anyone wanna help? I'd like to higher my resolution more than 800x600...
[01:41] <ikonia> my_key: put them in /etc/resolv.conf
[01:41] <Tonren> ikonia: It was working before, though - it spontaneously stopped working.
[01:41] <ColinT> xtknight: That window is closed
[01:41] <jrib> alink1000: what did you try exactly?
[01:41] <Dralid> pb69 > I only have a one CPU system (?)
[01:41] <my_key> ikonia: thanks
[01:41] <ikonia> Tonren: just restart dhcp client
[01:41] <livingdaylight> a shame no one knows about ubuntu and R60e laptop here. I'll try forums; i sure hope not to have to leave ubuntu
[01:41] <alink1000> that one thing someone else told me
[01:41] <Tonren> ikonia: OK
[01:41] <elyon225> OKay, I'm not understanding this whole permissions thing.  I see how to change permission for a folder, but will that change it for ALL users?
[01:41] <franky_> how can I stop totem from freezing my computer
[01:41] <alink1000> and then gave me a link
[01:41] <alink1000> but I want to higher my resolution, not fix it.
[01:41] <Tonren> BRB
[01:41] <rioghal> alink1000, have you tried running this command?:  sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[01:41] <ikonia> aggort are you ready  ?
[01:41] <jrib> alink1000: be more specific, there are several suggestions on that page that answer your question
[01:41] <alink1000> no, not yet.
[01:42] <alink1000> hold on
[01:42] <Aggort> ikonia: yes
[01:42] <alink1000> will that allow me to choose higher resolutions?
[01:42] <pb69> anyone using Iriver T30 with ubuntu? need some help to make ubuntu to stop reconizing it as a camera and stop loading Image import util and let me access it like a normal USB drive (which works fine on other devices but my T30)
[01:42] <rioghal> alink1000, that should allow you to add other resolutions to xorg
[01:42] <alink1000> sweet
[01:42] <ikonia> aggort ok - I can explain the problem and how to fix it, but you'll have to do some working out on your own, is that ok
[01:42] <franky_> jrib, I can play anything with all the other players exept totem
[01:42] <Miles> If someone has some free time, could they help me with an issue i'm having with my Nvidia Geforce 6600 card? It seems to be causing a kernel panic upon boot which i can't solve via drivers or updates. I've tried using both nvidia's own drivers and also using Easy Ubuntu. Acording to X.org there is NO nvidia device detected, although i am unsure if this is missing because i have never managed a successful boot with it.
[01:42] <cafuego_> elyon225: Perhaps. Permissions come in groups of thee, for three kinds of users.
[01:42] <ColinT> xtknight: brb
[01:42] <Aggort> ikonia: Yes
[01:42] <franky_> jrib, I have totem-xine backend
[01:42] <ikonia> aggort before I start how much do you know about how grub works (so I know where to start)
[01:42] <cafuego_> elyon225: There is 'read', 'write' and 'execute' for each of the 'owner', the 'group' and 'others'.
[01:43] <jrib> franky_: what kind of freeze?  Just totem? X? everything?
[01:43] <CIA_Agent> can someone help me?
[01:43] <jrib> !helpme | CIA_Agent
[01:43] <ubotu> CIA_Agent: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:43] <Aggort> ikonia: I know that it replaces MBR and let's you slecet which operating system to boot... that's it
[01:43] <CIA_Agent> I cant get a desktop after I log into Ubuntu is there a way to fix that?
[01:43] <ikonia> ok
[01:43] <vicente> hello
[01:43] <franky_> jrib, everything
[01:43] <alink1000> how do I know which driver to choose?
[01:43] <ikonia> aggort do you get the menu up at all or is the first thing you see the error 17
[01:44] <franky_> jrib, like my machine has no more CPU/RAM
[01:44] <ColinT> I am trying to install a program an it freezez at
[01:44] <cafuego_> elyon225: By changing those combinations you cna tweak access to all files and directories/
[01:44] <alink1000> well?
[01:44] <elyon225> cafuego: So to change permissions of a file so that all the users I've setup have read/write access to it? (This if for mp3 files)
[01:44] <jrib> franky_: weird, and both gxine and xine-ui work without a problem?
[01:44] <alink1000> on the configuring xserver-xorg
[01:44] <Aggort> ikonia: It starts to load GRUB (what is is 5.1) and then it said loading Grub...     then I get Error 17
[01:44] <franky_> i didn't try gxine and xine-ui only xine and it works for all file formats
[01:44] <rioghal> alink1000, onboard graphics? nvidia? ATI?
[01:44] <ikonia> aggort so you don't get the menu screen at all
[01:44] <cafuego_> elyon225: I would personally go that via group permissions. Create an 'mp3' group, give that group full access, and add any suers that needs access to the files to the 'mp3' group.
[01:45] <ikonia> (just working out which partition its error 17 'ing on)
[01:45] <alink1000> ATI Radeon Xpress 200 integrated graphics...
[01:45] <Aggort> ikonia: nope
[01:45] <ikonia> ok
[01:45] <alink1000> feel sorry for me? :(
[01:45] <rioghal> hahahaha
[01:45] <Gosha> !shockwave
[01:45] <ColinT> How can I stop a runnign application?
[01:45] <ubotu> Shockwave is currently only available for Windows. To run it under !Wine, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave
[01:45] <n2diy> I installed and configured sunbird two weeks ago, now I can't get it to run. I'm typing sunbird in a terminal, from my home directory, what am I doing wrong?
[01:45] <ikonia> aggort whats happening is one of 2 things, do you have multiple hard disks  ?
[01:45] <ColinT> When I don't know what or where it is?
[01:45] <elyon225> cafuego: Okay.  So to give that group full access?
[01:45] <Aggort> ikonia: no
[01:45] <Agent_0497> anyone?
[01:45] <ikonia> aggort good, that makes things easier
[01:45] <Atomiku> Quick question: How can I run this python script in the background? Im currently using: "python /path/to/script.py" it just runs in the terminal and if I exit terminal the python application stops
[01:45] <cafuego_> elyon225: 660 on the files and 770 on the directories
[01:45] <alink1000> mkay, rioghal, I answered you. :)
[01:45] <Aggort> ikonia: I figured
[01:45] <rioghal> alink1000, I don't know anything about ATI, but I have onboard graphics and I chose via. Is there a driver listed something like ati?
[01:46] <franky_> jrib, any clues ?
[01:46] <ikonia> aggort can you make notes as this is quiet long
[01:46] <cafuego_> elyon225: Which you could translate to u+rwX,g+rwX,o-rwx
[01:46] <alink1000> yeah, it's called ati
[01:46] <alink1000> should I select that one?
[01:46] <palm76> i've got a hardware question....will it make much difference if i replace my 2 sticks of 256mb ddr333 ram with a stick of 1gb ddr400?....would i notice much difference in speed?
[01:46] <elyon225> cafuego: So just changing /pub doesn't affect the files within that directory?
[01:46] <cafuego_> elyon225: ... which is a string that 'chmod' understands too.
[01:46] <ikonia> palm76: no  you won't - and thats not an ubuntu question
[01:46] <Aggort> ikonia: I'll type it on my macbook :)
[01:46] <rioghal> alink1000, please be patient, I can only type with my left hand, the right hand got broken in a soccer game last week 
[01:46] <ikonia> aggort ok here we go
[01:46] <Aggort> ikonia: go ahead
[01:46] <n2diy> Atomiku: append the & to the end of the command?
[01:46] <jrib> franky_: k, xine == xine-ui.  Have you seen if it happens with a fresh new user?
[01:46] <alink1000> oh
[01:46] <Atomiku> Oh, really?
[01:46] <Atomiku> cool, i'll try it
[01:46] <rioghal> alink1000, I would select the ati driver and see if that works
[01:47] <franky_> jrib, gxine is not installed
[01:47] <ja_> I'm formatting a 320GB drive via USB1.1 which I've read has a transfer rate of 12Mbps. At this rate, I've calculated 320GB/12Mbps = 7hours! Is this seriously the case?
[01:47] <ikonia> aggort boot from a ubuntu cd
[01:47] <palm76> ikonia:i run ubuntu ;-)
[01:47] <alink1000> alright
[01:47] <cafuego_> elyon225: No, BUT if you give everyone write access to /pub, everyone can delete files in there.
[01:47] <Aggort> ikonia: k
[01:47] <ikonia> aggort open a terminal and do "sudo su - "
[01:47] <franky_> jrib, I removed the .xine and retried it is the same
[01:47] <ikonia> aggort then do "grub"
[01:47] <Aggort> ikonia: k
[01:47] <alink1000> arg...
[01:47] <alink1000> didn't work
[01:47] <elyon225> cafuego: I'm not really worried about that.  None of these other users would even know how to start ;)  I just want them to be able to use Amarok to play music.
[01:47] <ikonia> aggort "you'll get a prompt like this GRUB>"
[01:47] <alink1000> I chose the resolution, but it didn't change...
[01:47] <Aggort> ikonia: I'm in Ubuntu now from the CD
[01:47] <cafuego_> ja_: Yes, if you think that formatting needs to access each part of the drive (like Windows would). Linux is less retarded and basically flips a bit that says "you're ext3 now" and write a few backup superblocks.
[01:48] <palm76> anybody else have any opinions?
[01:48] <ikonia> aggort do you want to do this as we go along ?
[01:48] <jrib> alink1000: it should be an option after you restart X
[01:48] <rioghal> alink1000, did you restart xorg?
[01:48] <Aggort> yea that'd be cool
[01:48] <ikonia> aggort ok you start and just confirm as you get to where we are now
[01:48] <Atomiku> hmm
[01:48] <Atomiku> doesnt seem to be working...
[01:48] <cafuego_> ja_: Should take about 30 seconds via IDE/SATA and a ferw minutes TOPS via usb 1.1
[01:48] <elyon225> cafuego: But that brings up another point.  If I download music into that folder, would I need to manually change the permissions for each .mp3 file?
[01:48] <ikonia> palm76: you won't see anything to the naked eye
[01:48] <alink1000> how do I restart it?
[01:49] <Miles> If someone has some free time, could they help me with an issue i'm having with my Nvidia Geforce 6600 card? It seems to be causing a kernel panic upon boot which i can't solve via drivers or updates. I've tried using both nvidia's own drivers and also using Easy Ubuntu. Acording to X.org there is NO nvidia device detected, although i am unsure if this is missing because i have never managed a successful boot with it.
[01:49] <Tonren> ikonia: I restarted the DHCP client.  didn't work.  Restarted the laptop.  Didn't work.  I manually deleted the "nameserver 127.0.0.1" line from resolv.conf, now everything works again.
[01:49] <n2diy> Atomiku: there is a space between the end of the command and the &.
[01:49] <Atomiku> hmm
[01:49] <rioghal> alink1000, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart    but be aware that command will close x windows and all apps that depend on x
[01:49] <ikonia> Tonren: looks like that was stopping dhcp from updating it
[01:49] <alink1000> and it is abnormal to hear a noise from my hardrive, upon getting a bolded response in chatzilla?
[01:49] <cafuego_> elyon225: In theory yes, but in practice we have the setgid bits for that. if you setgid the directory, any files written there will have their group set to the group of the directory.
[01:49] <franky_> jrib, what should I do ?
[01:49] <alink1000> k
[01:49] <Aggort> ikonia: I did sudo su- and it said command not found
[01:49] <alink1000> then, it will change?
[01:49] <cafuego_> elyon225: So chmod g+s /pub should take care of that.
[01:49] <ikonia> "su - "
[01:49] <ikonia> not "su-"
[01:49] <Aggort> ok
[01:49] <Aggort> sorry
[01:49] <Atomiku> okay
[01:50] <ikonia> no problem
[01:50] <Atomiku> How do I list the running processes?
[01:50] <rioghal> alink1000, when x is restarted, it should have the new resolutions available
[01:50] <Aggort> ok I'm in GRUB's prompt
[01:50] <ikonia> Atomiku: "ps -ef "
[01:50] <ikonia> aggort ok can you tell me which partition / is on
[01:50] <Aggort> ikonia: 1 sec
[01:50] <ikonia> ok
[01:50] <Atomiku> Thanks ikonia and n2diy
[01:50] <ja_> cafuego_, I started formatting as ext2 about 30 minutes ago and still no sign of light. Think I should restart gparted?
[01:51] <ColinT> xknight: It hangs after I have started the instalation
[01:51] <Tonren> ikonia: How do I know it won't just do that again?
[01:51] <n2diy> Atomiku: is it running?
[01:51] <ikonia> Tonren: don't know
[01:51] <rioghal> alink1000, what I did was CTRL+ALT+F1, add the resolutions, restart xorg, CTRL+ALT+F7 and the new resolutions were there
[01:51] <cafuego_> ja_: Ugh, gparted. I'd just use mkfs.ext2 to be honest
[01:51] <ikonia> rioghal: he's gone - thank god
[01:51] <Atomiku> Well
[01:51] <Atomiku> theres quite a few running
[01:51] <Aggort> ikonia: /dev/hda3
[01:51] <rioghal> ikonia, ah, ok.. I hope I was able to help
[01:51] <Atomiku> from all the failed attempts I made
[01:51] <ikonia> aggort ok so here is that you need to type
[01:51] <ikonia> aggort root (hd0,2)
[01:51] <Aggort> ikonia: k
[01:51] <ColinT> xknight: on "Dependency and Conflict Resolution"
[01:52] <ikonia> exactly like that
[01:52] <ja_> cafuego_, cheers. I'll look into that.
[01:52] <jrib> franky_: try with a new user
[01:52] <Atomiku> Also, When my python script echos stuff its echoing it onto the terminal... I dont want that. Is there anyway I can make it shut up?
[01:52] <Aggort> ikonia: I got this -  Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
[01:52] <ikonia> aggort perfect
[01:52] <ColinT> xknight: the rest of the text are: Running 'sudo apt-get install --force-yes --yes python-dev libcupsys2-dev libusb-dev lsb openssl libsnmp9-dev python-reportlab sane-utils'
[01:52] <ikonia> aggort now do this
[01:52] <Aggort> ikonia: good
[01:52] <ikonia> aggort setup (hd0)
[01:52] <n2diy> Atomiku: can't help with your script.
[01:52] <jrib> Atomiku: redirect output to /dev/null, example:  echo foobar > /dev/null
[01:52] <Atomiku> hmm
[01:53] <Aggort> ikonia:  k
[01:53] <Abeln> hello
[01:53] <ikonia> aggort now do
[01:53] <ikonia> aggort quit
[01:53] <necrodrako> hello
[01:53] <Atomiku> okay rewind first I need to kill all the python processess. How do I do this? I know the PIDs
[01:53] <Aggort> ikonia: k did it
[01:53] <rioghal> too bad I can't redirect my sister's output to /dev/null
[01:53] <ikonia> kill -11 atomi
[01:53] <alink1000> how do I add more workspaces available?
[01:53] <Atomiku> thanks
[01:53] <alink1000> *to be available
[01:53] <ikonia> Atomiku: kill -11
[01:53] <n2diy> ! kill
[01:53] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[01:53] <ikonia> aggort now if you reboot grub should be fine
[01:54] <jrib> alink1000: right click on the workspace applet and go to preferences
[01:54] <Aggort> ikonia: I sure as hell hope so
[01:54] <charles> #gstreamer
[01:54] <necrodrako> Can any one help me with Skype?
[01:54] <Atomiku> Wait... that kills kacpi_notify
[01:54] <greg> is winex still avaliable for free?
[01:54] <alink1000> thanks
[01:54] <ikonia> dave_v: I've not seen a force9 user for YEARS
[01:54] <ikonia> aggort it will be
[01:54] <Aggort> ok ikonia: I'll brb
[01:54] <LameBMX> arrrrrr

[01:55] <palm76> abeln:what kind of card do you have and wich driver?
[01:55] <Abeln> thanks
[01:55] <Abeln> ati
[01:55] <necrodrako> I have a problem with skype, when im talking to my friend my end dies, i still hear my friend but he doesent hear me. Does any one have a solution for this?
[01:55] <fossa> hi
[01:55] <rioghal> hi
[01:55] <Abeln> ati radenon mobilty 9600 128mb
[01:55] <fossa> where can i go to ask a html/css question?
[01:55] <ikonia> fossa #html
[01:56] <greg> is winex still avaliable for free?
[01:56] <palm76> abeln:and wich driver?i assume you want to setup beryl/compiz?
[01:56] <Abeln> yes thats right
[01:56] <n2diy> where can I go to solve a sunbird problem?
[01:56] <Maje> Where's a good place to start troubleshooting a kernel panic?
[01:56] <palm76> abeln:did you try the howto on the forum?
[01:56] <franky_> jrib, how do you export your display after a su
[01:57] <ikonia> Maje: is it an ubuntu kernel - or home made kernel
[01:57] <jrib> franky_: export DISPLAY=foo
[01:57] <franky_> export DISPLAY=:0.0 didn't work ...
[01:57] <dave_v> Is there a log file that contains the output from the rc.d scripts on bootup? I installed a link with update-rc.d and sure enough there is a symlink in /etc/rc2.d but the service does not start on server boot, the other services in rc2.d boot successfully and I can successfully run the service manually using /etc/init.d/service start so I am guessing there is some kind of problem as it is running, is there a log file that documents the rc.d process? - 
[01:57] <fossa> thanks
[01:57] <Maje> ikonia: an ubuntu kernel
[01:57] <ikonia> dave_v: there used to be a boot.log
[01:58] <ikonia> Maje: at what point does it panic
[01:58] <paranoid_android> hello, my usplash ... how to explain... it just moved over to the right and down a bit instead of being in the centre of the screen. oddly started doing this when i upgraded to Edgy. any ideas on this? cheers
[01:58] <franky_> jrib, export DISPLAY=:0.0 didn't work ...
[01:58] <drumline> I just got a new client that has 2 of 4 drives that were kicked from the array...   Anyone know how I can manage to recover one of the drives and get his data?
[01:58] <pb69> anyone using Iriver T30 with ubuntu? need some help to make ubuntu to stop reconizing it as a camera and stop loading Image import util and let me access it like a normal USB drive (which works fine on other devices but my T30)
[01:58] <Maje> ikonia: during boot, it gets to the splash screen, about 1/3 full bar
[01:58] <jrib> franky_: what are you trying to do?
[01:58] <ikonia> then panics ?
[01:58] <ikonia> does it actually say "panic"
[01:58] <Maje> afaik, yes
[01:58] <franky_> su - to a fresh new user
[01:58] <dave_v> ikonia: where is the boot.log?
[01:58] <archie> how to kill connection ?
[01:58] <Maje> I'm trying to help Miles, just asking some different questions
[01:58] <necrodrako> I have a problem with skype, when im talking to my friend my end dies, i still hear my friend but he doesent hear me. Does any one have a solution for this?
[01:58] <franky_> sudo su - john
[01:59] <franky_> totem
[01:59] <ikonia> dave_v: used to be in var - not sure if its still generated
[01:59] <xip> How can I get totem to play a DVD
[01:59] <franky_> (totem:15729): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
[01:59] <my_key> ikonia: if i add dns servers to /etc/resolv.conf won't they get overwritten by the /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-script ?
[01:59] <dave_v> no, its not there ;(
[01:59] <ikonia> my_key: depends on the priority
[01:59] <ikonia> dave_v: arse
[01:59] <chico> hello
[01:59] <Aggort2> ikonia: The error still appears.
[01:59] <jrib> franky_: you should login with the new user after logging out with this one for testing.  But you probably need to do 'xhost +local:' as your regular user as well
[01:59] <ikonia> really ?
[01:59] <Aggort2> Yes, really.
[01:59] <my_key> ikonia: how do i set or influence that priority?
[02:00] <ikonia> aggort and you only have 3 partitions, XP root and swap ?
[02:00] <ikonia> my_key: look at the dhcp.conf file
[02:00] <Aggort2> ikonia: Yes, but I think I might have an idea what my problem is
[02:00] <my_key> will do. thanks again
[02:00] <Maje> ikonia: the kernel does panic, but there is no error in the kern.log anywhere
[02:00] <ikonia> aggort explain
[02:00] <chico> where cawn i get the update for ubuntu
[02:00] <ikonia> Maje: you won't get that
[02:00] <ikonia> Maje: do you want to debug this properly ?
[02:01] <Maje> ikonia: I would like to figure out what the problem is, then hopefully debug it :P
[02:01] <ikonia> Maje: its not easy you need to enable a function called "sysrq"
[02:01] <xip> How can I get totem to play a DVD
[02:01] <ikonia> xip search the wiki for restricted formats
[02:02] <Maje> ikonia: where can i do this?
[02:02] <Tonren> Hey guys, my Postfix isn't actually sending mail to remote hosts.  Local delivery works fine, but remote doesn't.
[02:02] <ikonia> Maje: you'll have to search for the correct option, break into the grub menu and add the option to the boot line
[02:03] <ikonia> Tonren: are you doing this on an ADSL line ?
[02:03] <Tonren> ikonia: Nope.
[02:03] <Aggort2> For a long while now, I have had to use the Windows recovery CD rom (essentialy the install CD) to boot. I don't boot to the CD, but I did need it to be in my CD-rom for Windows to boot. Here jsut recent;y I realized my BIOS had changed themselves and boot boot to CD first. If I change it back to HD I simply get to a DOS like screen with a blinking horrizonatal line and I can't do anything
[02:03] <ikonia> Tonren: what sort of connection
[02:03] <tirus89> h3xis, you here?
[02:03] <h3xis> tirus89, yes
[02:03] <Tonren> ikonia: I'm connected to a Cable modem via a commercial Router
[02:03] <Maje> ikonia: any literature to help me understand a bit better what i'm doing?
[02:03] <ikonia> Tonren: don't bother than
[02:03] <Tonren> ikonia: Do you know where postfix queues its outgoing e-mails?
[02:03] <ikonia> Maje: the wiki - but I don't have time to search at th emoment. Look for sysrq
[02:04] <ikonia> Tonren: /var/spool I think
[02:04] <Maje> ikonia: alright, thanks
[02:04] <tirus89> h3xis, ok, i have determined that its my hard drive like 3 sectors are thrashed, im amazed that windows installed, but ubuntu wont let me, unless the alternate works
[02:04] <ikonia> Tonren: its not worth setting up on cable modems
[02:04] <h3xis> tirus89, i wouldnt count on it but go ahead and give it a try if you want
[02:04] <Tonren> ikonia: Howcome?
[02:04] <Aggor1> ikonia: I figured all that would be rather important
[02:04] <ikonia> 1.) you'll have to deal with natting 2.) you'll have to deal with dynamic IP addresses 3.) most internet mail servers won't accept mail from home connection addresses
[02:05] <tirus89> h3xis, i prob will, and i'll prob get a small hd, you know where i could get a small gig hd other than ebay
[02:05] <franky_> jrib, I got a lot of things
[02:05] <franky_> jrib, i tried sudo -u john totem
[02:05] <h3xis> tirus89, nope, not that i know of
[02:05] <ikonia> Aggor1: actually - its not
[02:05] <Aggor1> Ikonia: No Way
[02:05] <franky_> jrib, and I got this ALSA lib pcm.c:2146:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM dmixer
[02:06] <tirus89> h3xis, cause this comp is crap, and i dont want to put a 50 gig into it, not worth it
[02:06] <xip> ikonia, got a problem here
[02:06] <xip> nvm
[02:06] <franky_> jrib, and this
[02:06] <Tonren> ikonia: I can deal with NATing, there are scripts for dynamic IP addresses, and I've sent mail from a home server before.
[02:06] <franky_> Failed to open session DBUS connection: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
[02:06] <jewbilee> How do I remove software that I installed by compiling?
[02:06] <ikonia> Aggor1: way
[02:06] <Aggor1> Ikonia: Well that was an issue I couldn't fix and I thought it might be why GRUB won't boot properly from my hard drive.
[02:06] <nigro> hello
[02:06] <jrib> franky_: yes, just login with your new user :)
[02:06] <h3xis> tirus89, yeah, that's reasonable. im sure there are like 10gb or so drives on ebay that sell pretty cheap
[02:06] <Aggor1> ikonia: So what, I'm screwed
[02:06] <Tonren> jewbilee: Unless you used checkinstall, you can't.  You'll just have to delete stuff
[02:06] <tirus89> is there a way that i could install linux on a flash drive and have the hd formatted for linux and use it for file storage
[02:06] <ikonia> Aggor1: give me a minute and we'll walk it through again
[02:06] <nigro> I have a question
[02:06] <jewbilee> Tonrrn: alright, thanks
[02:07] <franky_> jrib, ok :)
[02:07] <Aggor1> ikonia: Sure
[02:07] <kitche> Tonren: if you have a domain with busines sinternernet then a mail server works good, I use a mail server usually for caching my mail
[02:07] <tirus89> h3xis, cause if so, i'll just get a 2 gig from best buy or circuit city and do that
[02:07] <nigro> anybody have ubuntu amd64?
[02:07] <ikonia> nigro: yes
[02:07] <ikonia> kitche: yes, thats a good example
[02:07] <h3xis> tirus89, maybe, it sounds like it would work. ive never done it before
[02:07] <cafuego_> nigro: I used to
[02:07] <alink1000> hey, how do I run as administrator all the time?
[02:07] <h3xis> alink1000, why
[02:07] <alink1000> because I'm sick of getting into certain applications, and entering passwords all the time
[02:07] <jrib> alink1000: that's a terrible idea, but
[02:07] <ikonia> alink1000: your asking LOADS of question, why not take a look at the wiki to learn the basics
[02:08] <jrib> !sudo | alink1000
[02:08] <ubotu> alink1000: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[02:08] <h3xis> alink1000, dont do it
[02:08] <jewbilee> is there a command to delete all of the files in a folder?
[02:08] <alink1000> why?
[02:08] <tirus89> h3xis, seems like a good idea, i think i found a flash drive install link on digg, maybe i'll write an article on it...
[02:08] <h3xis> alink1000, because that would pose a security risk
[02:08] <alink1000> then how do I start this synaptic with administrative privilages?
[02:08] <h3xis> tirus89, alright
[02:08] <ikonia> alink1000: have a look at some of the basic docs and howto's to get at least a basic idea of how things work
[02:08] <Sub7> audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open resource for writing.
[02:08] <tirus89> h3xis, ^_^
[02:08] <jrib> jewbilee: rm -r /path/to/folder/* /path/to/folder/.*   maybe
[02:08] <alink1000> or other programs, at that?
[02:08] <ikonia> Aggor1: ok - open a pastebin and lets debug
[02:09] <Aggor1> Sorry how?
[02:09] <ikonia> !pastebin
[02:09] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[02:09] <alink1000> well?
[02:09] <ikonia> alink1000: read some of the basic dos
[02:09] <ikonia> docs
[02:09] <alink1000> what URL?
[02:09] <jewbilee> jrib: just rm -r /path/to/folder/
[02:09] <ikonia> you've asked loads of basic questions tonight, it may do you good to just get a grip on the basics
[02:10] <ikonia> http://wiki.ubuntu.com
[02:10] <jewbilee> jrib: but thanks
[02:10] <jrib> jewbilee: that deletes the folder to
[02:10] <alink1000> k
[02:10] <Sub7> on sound test - audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open resource for writing?
[02:10] <nigro> ikonia, cafuego: I have problem with my wireless card, is an Broadcom 4311, is instaled but when I try connect ..   show me this message send_packet: Network is down
[02:10] <jewbilee> jrib: yea, sorry, thats what i wanted
[02:10] <ikonia> nigro: broadcom sucks in general on amd64 it mega sucks
[02:10] <Cholito> ok, I think I've tried A LOT but nothing is helping. When I try to install/remove/upgrade a package, it complains about cdrecord
[02:10] <rioghal> alink1000, here are two very good starting points for docs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/  and  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UserDocumentation
[02:10] <Aggor1> ikonia: k ready
[02:10] <Harkonnen20> bah i still can't get the Ubuntu live cd to run, 6.06 or 6.1
[02:10] <alink1000> k, thanks
[02:10] <Harkonnen20> both give me a x server error
[02:11] <Cholito> I tried apt-get install -f but still doesn't help
[02:11] <ikonia> ok Aggor1 I'll give you a list of commands, can you copy and paste them/output into the pastebin please
[02:11] <Aggor1> yea
[02:11] <Cholito> I tried to reinstall cdrecord, and still the same
[02:11] <nigro> ikonia: any idea?
[02:11] <ikonia> nigro: broadcoms area a real pain, I don't work on them as they are too much trouble, more so on x86
[02:11] <rioghal> alink1000,  http://ubuntuforums.org/  has also saved my backside more times than I can count
[02:12] <alink1000> I wouldn't know where to find stuff in there though... :(
[02:12] <nigro> ikonia, I try with ndiswrapper...
[02:12] <nikin> hy
[02:12] <ikonia> Aggor1: "fdisk -l /dev/hda" "mount /dev/hda3 /var/tmp" "ls -la /var/tmp"
[02:12] <alink1000> Can you just answer one general question first: How do I enter specific programs with administrative privilages?
[02:12] <ikonia> alink1000: if you can't use a search box on a wiki - there is no point trying to use ubuntu
[02:12] <ikonia> alink1000: I just don't think you want to search
[02:12] <nikin> i installed wine form source, and i am trying to play guildwars.. it starts.. but it is wery laggy and i get the error message : fixme:d3d_surface:IWineD3DSurfaceImpl_UnlockRect unsupported unlocking to Rendering surface surf@0x11302d0 usage(WINED3DUSAGE_RENDERTARGET)
[02:12] <makuseru> does anyone know if you can use a PSP in ubuntu?
[02:12] <nemik_> is there any way to shuffle/sort around open windows on the gnome taskbar?
[02:13] <ikonia> you've asked tons of basic questions
[02:13] <nikin> on every frame
[02:13] <Sub7> on sound test - audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open resource for writing?
[02:13] <mvfeinstein> Hello, I just installed Ubuntu 6.10 (OEM install) and I was prompted to enter a password but not a user name... Can anyone tell me what the default username is?
[02:13] <Aggor1> ikonia: it can't open hda
[02:13] <ikonia> makuseru: I've heard of people using it
[02:13] <Tonren> ikonia: When I look in the status part of /var/spool/postfix/defer, it says that it's been delayed because connection to alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com: Connection timed out.
[02:13] <jesse> When I select Network Printer does anyone know what I am supposed to type in for the Host and Queue?
[02:13] <makuseru> how?
[02:13] <rioghal> alink1000, the safe bet is to use something like "sudo appname" for command line apps, and "gksu appname" for gui apps. example: "gksu synaptic"  will open the synaptic gui
[02:13] <ikonia> Aggor1: ls -la /dev/hda
[02:13] <Harkonnen20> mvfeinstein isn't it root?
[02:13] <Cholito> nikin: it's very very hard to get GW to run in linux =/
[02:13] <nigro> ikonia, with driver for 64 bits, but no results
[02:13] <nemik_> is there any way to shuffle/sort around open windows on the gnome taskbar?
[02:13] <Cholito> i've tried several times, even with cedega
[02:14] <LameBMX> arrrrr
[02:14] <nigro> ikonia, sorry for mi bad english...
[02:14] <ikonia> nigro: I've said 3 times I don't use broadcoms as they are rubbish - very rubbish in x86_64
[02:14] <nikin> Cholito: i have managed to fix the mouse problem, and everythiung else... it just seems that the HW accel of wine int properly working for some reason
[02:14] <jimcooncat> yeah, I have two internal broadcom NICS that don't work well
[02:14] <mvfeinstein> Harkonnen20 I tried root with the password I put in but it didnt work.... Is there anyway to change the password without logging in?
[02:14] <Cholito> nikin: i didn't even got to install it lol
[02:15] <ikonia> jimcooncat: he's trying wireless broadcoms on x86_64 - its a nightmare
[02:15] <jesse> I am trying to setup a UNIX Printer (LPD) but I dont know what I type for Host and Queue
[02:15] <Harkonnen20> no idea
[02:15] <Aggor1> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/598/
[02:15] <Harkonnen20> <--noob
[02:15] <nikin> Cholito: i will provide a TXT to the community once i get over this hard accel problem
[02:15] <jimcooncat> ikonia, would a 32 bit chroot help?
[02:15] <ikonia> jimcooncat: mega hard
[02:15] <Cholito> nikin: let me know ;)
[02:15] <ikonia> Aggor1: sorry - try "sudo fdisk -l /dev/hda"
[02:15] <ikonia> Aggor1: my mistake
[02:16] <Cholito> nikin: which problem is it?
[02:16] <chico> is there a way to check if the ISO cd is good burnt
[02:16] <kitche> nikin: to have wine use HW acc it needs patched
[02:16] <jimcooncat> mmm take 'em back to the store lol
[02:16] <cafuego_> chico: md5sum
[02:16] <the|borg> well... any1 have any experince with widescreen monitors and nvidia?
[02:16] <nikin> Cholito: it is not standard problem asfar as i read other peoples howtos... the game is wery-wery laggy (6fps)
[02:16] <ikonia> the|borg: yes
[02:17] <chico> cafuego, what is that
[02:17] <Aggor1> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/600/
[02:17] <the|borg> good
[02:17] <nikin> kitche: can you provide me a link about that?
[02:17] <Aggor1> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/600/
[02:17] <the|borg> cus ive been beating my head over this for a while
[02:17] <ikonia> Aggor1: got it, now do "sudo mount /dev/hda3 /var/tmp"
[02:17] <ikonia> then cd /var/tmp
[02:17] <Cholito> nikin: holy cow...that slow?
[02:17] <nikin> Cholito. i get an error message on every frame : fixme:d3d_surface:IWineD3DSurfaceImpl_UnlockRect unsupported unlocking to Rendering surface surf@0x11302d0 usage(WINED3DUSAGE_RENDERTARGET)
[02:18] <Atomiku> im using putty and I cant create virtual terminals by using ALT-F1 etc
[02:18] <Atomiku> why?
[02:18] <nikin> yep, on Gef4 MX 440 ... (aprox 19fps under Windows)
[02:18] <ikonia> Atomiku: putty is a terminal emmulator
[02:18] <kitche> nikin: did you look at wine's site for it?
[02:18] <Atomiku> yes
[02:18] <ikonia> you can't put virtual terminals in a terminal emmulator
[02:18] <nikin> kitche: nope... i was thinking that HW accel is a built in thing
[02:18] <Atomiku> damnit
[02:19] <kitche> nikin: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=5386 it has a howto on how to get guild wars running in wine
[02:19] <Aggor1> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/601/
[02:19] <Atomiku> I thought I could run that python script in a virual terminal....
[02:19] <nikin> Atomi8ku: try the program called screen ... maybe that will help you out
[02:19] <ikonia> Atomiku: you can
[02:19] <Ben_21> hi all, wonder if I could get some help with this: I just installed ubuntu and I'm trying to find the edit partitions thingy, seems it's missing from the menu where it used to be ? I tried logging in as root but it wasn't there, If i recall it's called system settings ?
[02:19] <Atomiku> Ya see cause I want this to stay running even when I logout
[02:19] <ikonia> Aggor1: wrong link
[02:19] <kitche> nikin: anyways Guild Wars is only Bronze so it works but there is a lot of bugs still that need to be worked on
[02:19] <cheesewhiz728> I'm going to temporarily un-install ubuntu from a dual-boot machine....Do I delete just the ubuntu partition? or do I also delete the linux-swap and GRUB partitions?
[02:19] <Atomiku> just like my eggdrops n stuff do
[02:19] <ikonia> Atomiku: you can
[02:19] <jimcooncat> Hardware reccommendation, please. Looking for a brand name mobo/cpu combination that works well with hardware-based Xen. Want 4 RAM slots and good (non-RAID) EIDE controller. Please PM me if you can specify brand names, and maybe sources. Need 2 to start.
[02:20] <Atomiku> I can?
[02:20] <ikonia> yes
[02:20] <Atomiku> I can!
[02:20] <Aggor1> ikonia: shouldn't be
[02:20] <Aggor1> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/601http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/601/
[02:20] <Aggor1> oops
[02:20] <Aggor1> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/601/
[02:20] <Atomiku> If only I knew how...
[02:20] <ikonia> Aggor1: thats just th eoutput of fdisk -l again
[02:20] <nikin> Kitche: GW is gold now.. since Wine 0.9.27
[02:20] <Atomiku> Shame theres no one here that knows ;)
[02:20] <|Sora|> im trying vmware in windows for the first time, right now im trying to mount ubuntu, whihc network type should i choose?
[02:20] <murali> hi all
[02:20] <ikonia> Atomiku: you just type the command in the terminal
[02:20] <kitche> nikin: umm it's bronze with the latest update
[02:20] <Aggor1> ikonia sorry
[02:20] <xtknight> jimcooncat: try #linux  you will probably get many more responses there
[02:20] <chico> in burning ISO cd should it be audio, data or photo ?
[02:20] <ikonia> Aggor1: its not a problem
[02:20] <ikonia> no rush
[02:20] <jimcooncat> xtknight, thanks
[02:20] <Atomiku> ikonia: I did. "python /home/atomiku/bots/pyborg/pyborg-irc.py"
[02:20] <cheesewhiz728> I'm going to temporarily un-install ubuntu from a dual-boot machine....Do I delete just the ubuntu partition? or do I also delete the linux-swap and GRUB partitions?
[02:21] <xtknight> chico: none...there should be a burn iso or burn image command
[02:21] <Atomiku> its a continuous python script
[02:21] <ikonia> Atomiku: and ....?
[02:21] <rioghal> chico, none of the above, you should burn it as a cd image, it won't ask for data, etc.
[02:21] <IndyGunFreak> chico, what burning software are you using?
[02:21] <Atomiku> It keeps on running and echoing on the terminal im on. I want it in the background
[02:21] <Aggor1> Ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/603/ this should be right
[02:21] <the|borg> eh... i'll come back later when its quieter
[02:21] <kitche> nikin: from wine's page for guild wars Current Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) Nov 10 2006 0.9.22. Yes Yes Bronze Checked
[02:21] <Atomiku> so I can continue entering commands on the terminal
[02:21] <un_operateur> cheesewhiz728, are you planning on a reinstall later on?
[02:21] <Aggor1> ikonia: I did  sudo munt and I did the cd/var/
[02:21] <jimcooncat> cheesewhiz728, why not just disable Ubuntu in grub?
[02:21] <cheesewhiz728> yes
[02:21] <nikin> kitche: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=5903 look this
[02:21] <ikonia> Atomiku: thats just a badley written script, pipe the output to /dev/null, and & it
[02:21] <ikonia> or nohup it
[02:21] <mnoir> cheesewhiz728: what are you going to do with the space?
[02:22] <Atomiku> how
[02:22] <cheesewhiz728> I'm going to use it for my windows partition for now
[02:22] <the|borg> but simply i cant get the correct resolution with my monitor 1680x1050
[02:22] <] batistuta[> ppl somebody can advise me some codecs for ubuntu 6.10???
[02:22] <Atomiku> its not a badly written script at all

[02:22] <un_operateur> Atomiku, send it to the background -- add a & to the end of the command -- python script.py &
[02:22] <kitche> nikin: yes but only with those patches without them it's bronze
[02:22] <the|borg> i have it in my xorg.conf
[02:22] <ikonia> Atomiku: clearly it is if its outputting to the terminal and you don't want it to
[02:22] <cheesewhiz728> jimcooncat: I need to uninstall it to make more room for my windows partition...
[02:22] <the|borg> but it rejects it
[02:23] <nikin> kitche: i have aplyed those ptches
[02:23] <Atomiku> ikonia you arent helping
[02:23] <n2diy> I installed and configured sunbird two weeks ago, now I can't get it to run. I'm typing sunbird in a terminal, from my home directory, what am I doing wrong?
[02:23] <Atomiku> its doing what its supposed to do
[02:23] <nikin> thats why i compiled wine from source
[02:23] <the|borg> and kicks me back to 600x400
[02:23] <xopey_> when i try to mount my ipod as user, "could not execute pmount". how do i configure pmount for users?
[02:23] <Atomiku> but not what *I* want it to do
[02:23] <ikonia> Atomiku: no - your not listening, i've told you to nohup it, & it and pipe the output to /dev/null
[02:23] <po0> i burned a 3.5GB movie @ 16X = 22 mins, is this normal or slow?
[02:23] <Aggor1> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/604/
[02:23] <Atomiku> un_operateur: How do I "send to background" ?
[02:23] <jimcooncat> cheesewhiz728, you can delete the partition (don't forget to back up)...
[02:23] <xtknight> command 2> /dev/null
[02:23] <franky_franky> jrib, the error with dmxier occured
[02:23] <ikonia> Atomiku: I've told you 2 times now
[02:23] <un_operateur> Atomiku, like i said -- invoke the command with a & appended to
[02:23] <cheesewhiz728> jimcooncat: But do I also delete the linux-swap and grub partitions?
[02:23] <Atomiku> yes
[02:24] <jimcooncat> cheesewhiz728, live cd is easy to change partitions. Use GParted.
[02:24] <Atomiku> it continues to output though
[02:24] <xtknight> & does NOT change stdout
[02:24] <Atomiku> i can still use the terminal though
[02:24] <jimcooncat> cheesewhiz728, you have a partition for grub? Maybe /boot?
[02:24] <ikonia> Atomiku: you have to output the command to /dev/null if you don't want to see the text
[02:24] <Atomiku> Im not sure how to redirect it all to /dev/null
[02:24] <un_operateur> Atomiku, ermm, redirect the output to /dev/null them -- python script.py &> /dev/null &
[02:24] <Atomiku> ahh
[02:24] <Aggor1> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/604/
[02:24] <Atomiku> there we go
[02:24] <un_operateur> s/them/then/
[02:24] <cheesewhiz728> Jimcooncat: yes...I want to know if I also delete that along with my ubuntu distrp
[02:24] <ikonia> Aggor1: got it, looks good
[02:24] <Atomiku> this looks promising.
[02:24] <cheesewhiz728> **distro
[02:24] <jrib> franky_franky: is the user in the audio group?
[02:25] <jimcooncat> cheesewhiz728, you need to have a windows mbr fix handy if you do this. I think format.exe.
[02:25] <xopey_> doesn't ubuntu support udev so that my ipod would automout?
[02:25] <franky_franky> jrib, yes by default
[02:25] <chico> how do i create the .iso CD
[02:25] <Aggor1> ikonia: If it looks good it must be bad?
[02:25] <chico> i downloaded the file
[02:25] <cheesewhiz728> jimcooncat: thanks...gtg
[02:25] <franky_franky> but it said that the device is unknown
[02:25] <ikonia> Aggor1: something is going wrong there
[02:25] <chico> and have place all of them in the desktop
[02:25] <Aggor1> ikonia: DAMN IT lol
[02:25] <ikonia> and you only have 1 disk in the whole system ?
[02:25] <nikin> Atomiku: if you wnt to run several programs at a time... so that you can, but dont have to folow the output of each of them... use screen.  :D sorry Ikonia ... if i misundertud the problem just shoot me :D
[02:25] <jrib> franky_franky: hmm, but your system doesn't freeze right?
[02:25] <jimcooncat> cheesewhi:  a bootable floppy or cd with format.exe on it.
[02:25] <Atomiku> cool cool.
[02:25] <ikonia> nikin: screen is a good call, but its a bit advanced for him
[02:25] <franky_franky> jrib, of course it does
[02:26] <franky_franky> jrib, changing the user didn't change the problem
[02:26] <seanj> hi people
[02:26] <Aggor1> ikonia: Yes one hard drive, CDRW, DVD and that's it I swear
[02:26] <ikonia> Aggor1: not doubting you - just being clear
[02:26] <Bitloks> Does any one know the trick to toggle full screen mode on Terminal Server Client
[02:26] <ikonia> Aggor1: few minutes to walk it through in my head
[02:26] <un_operateur> Bitloks, F11 maybe?
[02:26] <nikin> ikonia: screen is a breeze to get used to it, and has several pretty nice features like freeing a process from a session
[02:26] <Aggor1> ikonia: However a while ago when we tried to add a seocnd drive my machine wouldn't boot, so we took it out, this was a LONG time ago though
[02:26] <ikonia> Aggor1: thats fine
[02:26] <ikonia> nikin: I know this
[02:26] <Aggor1> ikonia: k
[02:26] <aeromix> how can I start a script in invisible mode?
[02:27] <Bitloks> un_operateur, Nope
[02:27] <ikonia> aeromix: whats invisible mode
[02:27] <mnoir> aeromix: invisible mode?
[02:27] <nikin> ikonia: i know you know it...
[02:27] <franky_franky> jrib, I am out of ideas
[02:27] <maddash> ikonia: I think he means, w/o a terminal window popping up
[02:27] <franky_franky> jrib, :)
[02:27] <ikonia> maddash: ahh
[02:27] <aeromix> ikonia: just that the script runs in no terminal window
[02:27] <Cholito> when I try to install/remove/upgrade a package, I get this error: unable to open files list file for package `cdrecord': Input/output error
[02:27] <ikonia> aeromix: crontab
[02:27] <Cholito> any idea why that can be?
[02:28] <rioghal> mnoir, especially with gnome-terminal.. run the command, right-click the terminal window, chose "open tab" and go to work 
[02:28] <[GnB] jabberwocky> hey guys, question: i've mounted one ntfs drive (hda1) on /media/ntfs1, but i have two ntfs drives plugged in. is there any dir-like command i can use to see what the names of the connected drives are? ...i'm using 6.10 and can't seem to find the disk manager.
[02:28] <jrib> franky_franky: have you tried running it in gdb?
[02:28] <mnoir> rioghal: yeah tabs are nice - i just forget they're there
[02:28] <Bitloks> !gbd
[02:28] <rioghal> hehe
[02:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gbd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:28] <maddash> has anyone here ever experienced 3ddesktop scrolling by itself in carousel mode? it's ghostly...
[02:28] <[GnB] jabberwocky> i tried hdb1, but it seemed to do nothing.

[02:29] <jrib> franky_franky: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.19/+bug/70760 see if this is the same issue
[02:29] <maddash> rioghal: 3ddesktop switching workspaces on its own, I mean...
[02:29] <kitche> PupUserb315f4: tmsnc is good it's not being developed anymore though but it works
[02:29] <[GnB] jabberwocky> kitche: that's where it /should/ be, but it's honestly not. =/
[02:29] <rioghal> maddash, yeah, I didn't like 3ddesktop much, though
[02:30] <maddash> rioghal: w/o user input...is it supposed to do that?
[02:30] <Aggor1> ikonia: This thing with the CD boot has been bugging me for a LONG long time and I just want to at least be able to boot into Ubuntu without using the CD
[02:30] <jrib> franky_franky: are you using the nvidia driver?
[02:30] <rioghal> maddash, oh, on it's own??? Never seen that.
[02:30] <kitche> ikonia: go ahead all I m doing right now anyways is messing around with minix
[02:30] <franky_franky> non ATI Radeon Mobility T2e
[02:30] <rioghal> maddash, I don't think that is normal behavior
[02:30] <maddash> rioghal: omg. ET's trying to phone me or something
[02:30] <ikonia> Aggor1: just going to bounce of kitche for a minute
[02:30] <rioghal> hahahaha

[02:30] <franky_franky> jrib, this exactly what happens
[02:30] <PupUserb315f4> kitche: i was thinking about an alternative if noone here knew how
[02:30] <jrib> franky_franky: are you using the free driver?
[02:30] <maddash> rioghal: :P seriously, I nearly had a stroke when I saw the thing spinning on its own...
[02:30] <heapme> can i use samba to transfer files to/from my windows ntfs partition?
[02:31] <heapme> instead of ntfs-3g
[02:31] <ikonia> kitche: Aggor1 has got himself into a grub none boot situaiton (don't know or care how) he's getting error 17 (can't access partition) which to me normally signifies wrong partitions
[02:31] <kitche> PupUserb315f4: select the window with tab then press press up and it should scroll up
[02:31] <franky_franky> jrib, nop the official
[02:31] <maddash> rioghal: let me guess - you use beryl?
[02:31] <franky_franky> and the latest

[02:31] <PupUserb315f4> rioghal: nope
[02:31] <PupUserb315f4> kitche: nope
[02:31] <jrib> franky_franky: see if it happens with the free one, just to check where the issue is
[02:31] <mnoir> heapme: do not write to an ntfs partition unless you back it up in windows first.

[02:31] <Cholito> it seems that I'll have to reinstall it anyway xD

[02:31] <penguinfan> hi i am looking for a backuptool working under linux and windows. i want to regularly backup my system to a usb disk. i red about bacula but don't know if a smaller solution might not be sufficient for me
[02:31] <ikonia> I've told him to do a grub> root (hd0,3) - which fines the ext2 partition so looks good, then a setup (hd0)
[02:31] <ikonia> with me so far ?
[02:32] <franky_franky> not in that part I think
[02:32] <Ben_21> is there something i have to do to access all the tools in the menus cause im sure somthing is missing in the ubuntu menus now that I installed 
[02:32] <magnus87> I was wondering how to stop the x-server from starting automatically when booting, can anyone tell me?
[02:32] <franky_franky> jrib, I would rather say it is a codec bug
[02:32] <franky_franky> jrib, and it worked before and I can not "afford" the free one for performance reasons
[02:33] <alitis4> any programs that i could scan an image or a page, from my scanner to my pc ?
[02:33] <ikonia> kitche: did you follow that ?
[02:33] <jrib> franky_franky: I actually had a similar issue.  mplayer plugin would crash for me whenever I used xv video output and the nvidia driver.  With nv it wouldn't crash, and it wouldn't crash if I used gl as the output either.  I only suggest trying the free one so you can comment on the bug
[02:33] <[GnB] jabberwocky> alitis4: GIMP can scan, just go to Acquire >> TWAIN
[02:34] <kitche> ikonia: it would be (hd0,2) since 0 is partition 1 1 is partition 2 2 is partition 3 if it's /dev/hda3
[02:34] <franky_franky> jrib, yes sure
[02:34] <ikonia> sorry - I did say hd0,2 - typo on my part
[02:34] <franky_franky> do you want to see my xorg config ?
[02:34] <ikonia> it found the ext2 partition
[02:34] <jrib> franky_franky: I'd suggest switchign over to gxine as it is similar to totem-xine
[02:34] <alitis4> [GnB] jabberwocky, sane or gimp?
[02:34] <[GnB] jabberwocky> alitis4: i know gimp can do it, not sure about sane
[02:35] <[GnB] jabberwocky> alitis4: it probably can, but i've never used it tbh
[02:35] <franky_franky> jrib, yes but that still won't make totem work :)
[02:35] <ikonia> but when he boots he still gets the error 17 - the only thing I can think of is that hd0 isn't hda - but it must be as it finds hda3 as hd0,2
[02:35] <spitwise> kubuntu comes with a scanning app
[02:35] <ikonia> Aggor1: can we re-try the grub install
[02:35] <franky_franky> jrib, and it should because it used to ...
[02:36] <ikonia> you've only got one disk - so this should be super easy

[02:36] <Aggor1> ikonia: sure
[02:36] <kitche> ikonia: but I would have him see if root is correct in the menu.lst since it might be wrong it depends on how he runs the grub command did he run it with sudo?
[02:36] <ikonia> aggor ok - sudo su -
[02:36] <Aggor1> ikonia: I installed it through Ubuntu so
[02:36] <Aggor1> k

[02:37] <murali> hi all

[02:38] <Cholito> Zelda: turn the computer on
[02:38] <Zelda> I get no desktop or icons. Its like windows not running explorer.exe
[02:38] <[GnB] jabberwocky> sweet, got it via bruteforcing all the letters i could think of.

[02:41] <jrib> franky_franky: I'm kind of out of ideas too.  I'd add to the bug report, and would test if it was the driver's fault if I were in your shoes
[02:41] <franky_franky> jrib, you gave me the idea it had something to do with overlay
[02:42] <jrib> franky_franky: hmm maybe, that's worth a try
[02:42] <n2diy> jonetec, does ifup eth1 bring it up?
[02:42] <nn531> maddash: do you know what aireplay is or wre you just referring me to the bot?

[02:47] <rioghal> con-man, run gconf-editor, then go to apps/nautilus/desktop and check the ones you want to appear
[02:47] <Aggor1> k
[02:47] <nn531> maddash: me and my buddy were trying to find his wep key in his router and I couldnt get that part of the program to work
[02:47] <h3xis> tirus89, yeah just watch it

[02:47] <ikonia> your not there yet
[02:47] <Aggor1> where?
[02:48] <rioghal> n2diy, I don't think netconf is installed by default
[02:48] <jontec> n2diy: nope
[02:48] <ikonia> finished
[02:48] <ikonia> still probing.....
[02:48] <Aggor1> oh  well shit lol
[02:48] <aeromix> does cron start after I have edited crontabs -e ?
[02:48] <ikonia> still probing ?
[02:48] <Aggor1> yea
[02:49] <rioghal> aeromix, cron should be always running
[02:49] <Aggor1> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo grub
[02:49] <Aggor1> Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
[02:49] <Aggor1> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$
[02:49] <ikonia> Aggor1: got to take a shower back in 30 minutes, enter those commands once its finished probing, quit and reboot
[02:49] <Aggor1> see
[02:49] <Aggor1> oh wait
[02:49] <Aggor1> no
[02:49] <ikonia> what
[02:49] <Aggor1> I did thsoe commands already
[02:49] <n2diy> rioghal: jontec, is there a way to manually config the network?
[02:49] <ikonia> you have to wait until you get the "GRUB>" prompt
[02:49] <rioghal> n2diy, I don't know, still learning Ubuntu here
[02:49] <ikonia> just do them again when you get the grub prompt
[02:49] <Aggor1> That's where I did them
[02:49] <jevangelo> how do you mount a .bin file
[02:49] <Aggor1> I was there
[02:50] <con-man> how do I change the icon of my trash can
[02:50] <ikonia> really ? and now its started probing ?
[02:50] <Aggor1> no no
[02:50] <n2diy> rioghal: roger that.
[02:50] <Aggor1> look at what i pasted
[02:50] <Aggor1> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo grub
[02:50] <Aggor1> Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
[02:50] <Aggor1> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$
[02:50] <kitche> jevangelo: .bin are usually executable files
[02:50] <mnoir> jevangelo: that question does not make sense
[02:50] <ikonia> Aggor1: where are the commands ?
[02:50] <Franky_> jrib, just one more thing
[02:50] <jontec> n2diy: I wish I knew, :D I'd be using it
[02:50] <tirus89> h3xis, be back in 2 hours or so
[02:50] <n2diy> jontec: can you see if netconf is available with synaptic?
[02:50] <Franky_> jrib, gxine did the same thing
[02:50] <Aggor1> I quit remember
[02:50] <Aggor1> lol
[02:50] <con-man> how do I change the icon of my trash can
[02:50] <ikonia> ahh right
[02:50] <jevangelo> its a .bin and .cue file
[02:50] <ikonia> ok - reboot and fingers crossed you sould be good
[02:50] <jevangelo> there cd files

[02:51] <jontec> n2diy: yeah it's here in adept (similar to synaptic) I'll install it
[02:51] <ikonia> I'll hang on
[02:51] <cafuego_> jevangelo:use bchunk to turn it into an iso
[02:51] <Aggor1> I do need to take out this Live CD rtight?
[02:51] <ikonia> yup
[02:51] <kitche> jevangelo: ah it's a cd image you have to convert them to an iso to mount them
[02:51] <n2diy> jontec: roger, good luck.
[02:51] <Aggor1> lol ok jsut maiking sure
[02:51] <ikonia> it should eject on reboot
[02:51] <chico> i am still in search of a way to make sure this ISO cd will work right
[02:51] <con-man> how do I change the icon of my trash can
[02:51] <rioghal> con-man, run gconf-editor, then go to apps/nautilus/desktop and change the icon

[02:52] <con-man> there are check boxes
[02:52] <Aggort2> Ikonia: Should I put the windows CD in since it won't boot without it?
[02:52] <ikonia> Aggort2: no - it should boot without it
[02:52] <rioghal> con-man, Well, slap me, I was wrong :(
[02:52] <ikonia> you've just installed a boot loader
[02:52] <n2diy> Ok, I found my sunbird problem, I installed it to /sunbird, instead of /opt/sunbird. Now how can I get it listed in my applications menu?
[02:52] <ikonia> although I find it strange that your hard disk won't boot without it
[02:53] <chico> hello
[02:53] <Aggort2> Ikonia: Didn't even get the grub to start loading without it?
[02:53] <rioghal> hehe
[02:53] <w3ccv> chico, is it a bootable disk? try and boot it, try all the functions befor you install
[02:53] <ikonia> thats a strange hardware issue then
[02:53] <con-man> anyone else?
[02:53] <con-man> how do I change the icon of my trash can
[02:53] <con-man> anyone else?

[02:54] <jontec> n2diy: so what next?
[02:54] <chico> w3ccv, while trying the start/install UBUNTU, a black screen shows up and then nothing happens
[02:54] <kitche> nathan__ #ubuntu-xgl can help you with that
[02:54] <nathan__> i have a very very detailed post about it here: http://forum.go-compiz.org/viewtopic.php?p=2590#2590
[02:54] <n2diy> jontec: sudo netconf
[02:54] <nathan__> ok thanks...  new to IRC, have to figure out how to get there
[02:55] <jevangelo> ok, its an iso now
[02:55] <emporerP> I have a very exciting anouncement to make for ubuntu CAD users
[02:55] <jontec> n2diy: laptop-netconf: You should define at least one profile in /etc/laptop-netconf/opts.
[02:55] <jevangelo> is it mount -loop or something?
[02:55] <thevenin> con-man, sorry i though i had a help channel open, not an ubuntu channel
[02:55] <thevenin> dont know right off the top of my head
[02:55] <nn531> how do I find what chipset and drivers i have/need for my wifi?
[02:55] <n2diy> jontec: ? I'm lost.
[02:55] <Slart> is there a good regexp file renamer around for ubuntu? preferably command line based?
[02:56] <jontec> n2diy: did you get that that was an error?
[02:56] <DarthLappy> Slart: Roll yer own!
[02:56] <mnoir> nathan__: slart - 'find' with the exec option
[02:56] <n2diy> jontec: Doesn't sound like an error, but more like an instruction.
[02:56] <jontec> n2diy: same thing
[02:56] <jontec> lol.
[02:56] <Slart> DarthLappy: mmm... I'd rather just use something premade.. but thanks for playing.. =)

[02:57] <nn531> !wifi
[02:57] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs

[02:57] <kitche> SmashCat: remove the cd from your sources.list
[02:57] <SmashCat> mnoir: Ok, thanks
[02:57] <Slart> DarthLappy: hmm.. bash deals with filenames and such? without having to use other applications?
[02:58] <DarthLappy> Slart: Well, no. But there are lots of applications.
[02:58] <Slart> DarthLappy: and the names of these other applications are?
[02:59] <mnoir> Slart: the mv builtin can do what you want but find makes it easier - it is still a primitive as you want :)
[02:59] <DarthLappy> Slart: grep, mv, etc.
[02:59] <Rageagainstthis> anybody use cad here?
[03:00] <Slart> I'll have a look or two at find, mv and buddies.. I'll be back if they are mean to me =)

[03:08] <nn531> sound?
[03:08] <anorexicpillow> yah i got my calander imported now i just have to get it to run in the back ground and to run on start up would be good too
[03:09] <kitche> CTho: this is as close as I can find http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?postid=756404
[03:09] <n2diy> nn531: thats a start, google on it and see if you can find something related to linux.
[03:09] <n2diy> anorexicpillow: cool, you can find start up info with a google search.
[03:10] <anorexicpillow> oh okay
[03:10] <CTho> kitche: how does that work? it sets windows as default-once, but leaves linux as the real default?
[03:10] <n2diy> anorexicpillow: was suntray listed by synaptic?
[03:11] <anorexicpillow> no and it appears that its only for windows...
[03:11] <anorexicpillow> but on the forums someone mentioned Alltray
[03:11] <n2diy> anorexicpillow: ok, I didn't explore it myself, good luck.
[03:11] <anorexicpillow> heh thanks :P
[03:12] <kitche> CTho: yea from what I can tell by the code
[03:12] <CTho> kitche: ok, i think i can do what i need with that
[03:12] <cheeseboy16> how do u install nvidia drivers?
[03:12] <mnoir> !nvidia
[03:12] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:13] <n2diy> anorexicpillow: did you get sunbird listed in your apps menu?
[03:13] <CTho> kitche: the goal is to reboot once to linux weekly, dd primary drive to backup, then go back to windows
[03:13] <zammit> i hope i'm in the right channel: i'm attempting to install fglrx on ubuntu edgy (2.6.17), i was following a tutorial on the net, i completed the installation with no errors, but when i test it i'm getting "direct rendering: no"; any help?
[03:13] <anorexicpillow> yah i got that working under...applications>Office
[03:14] <n2diy> anorexicpillow: how did you do that?
[03:14] <anorexicpillow> there was a great tutorial on the ubuntu forums
[03:14] <kitche> CTho: you can make windows default if you wish but I don't even use dd since it's a pain to work with I have other methods to do my backing up anyways since dd saves the whole disk
[03:14] <Bobrobyn> Hey...does anyone know what the error messege:  "sudo: ./ndiswrapper_setup: command not found" when running the broadcom script thingy...means...and how to fix it?
[03:14] <CTho> kitche: well, i'd like to be able to just swap cable positions to boot from the backup
[03:14] <n2diy> anorexicpillow: ok, I go hunting for it.
[03:14] <n2diy> I/I'll
[03:14] <anorexicpillow> its HOW TO: install sunbird
[03:15] <anorexicpillow> really easy to spot
[03:15] <SmashCat> Anyone know if there's something special I have to do in Ubuntu to get php to load external modules? I've added them using apt-get, but the default config doesn't load anything in.
[03:15] <n2diy> anorexicpillow: Ok, I probably saw it earlier, but at the time, I couldn't get sunbird to open, so I skipped it.
[03:16] <zammit> include them in your ini @ smashcat?
[03:16] <Bitloks> !cifs
[03:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cifs - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:16] <mnoir> CTho: if you are using 6.10 or higher you may have an FSTAB issue with UUID references
[03:16] <zammit> smashcat: then restart php?
[03:16] <CTho> mnoir: i have no idea what that means
[03:17] <SmashCat> zammit: It has the extension directory pointing to the right place. Restarting apache makes no difference.
[03:17] <mnoir> in fstab, the latest releases use UUID instead of hardware device to identify disks
[03:17] <Aggort> how do I register to this channel?
[03:18] <mnoir> CTho: when you switch cable positions, the UUID will just cause fstab to use the same diaks as it used before the switch
[03:18] <kitche> !register|Aggort
[03:18] <ubotu> Aggort: Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[03:18] <rioghal> Aggort, to register your username: /msg nickserv help register
[03:18] <n2diy> Aggort, what ever you did worked.
[03:18] <CTho> mnoir: oh
[03:18] <n2diy> Aggort, ah, never mind.
[03:18] <CTho> mnoir: i'd have the main drive removed if it's dead...;)
[03:18] <Aggort> n2diy: When lol
[03:18] <zammit> smashcat: don't you have to tell php to include the modules you just d/l'ed, i don't think it _auto-includes_ the extensions just b/c they're in the directory
[03:18] <anorexicpillow> n2diy: here is alltray http://alltray.sourceforge.net/downloads.html do you mind telling me how i can install it?
[03:18] <mnoir> CTho: there is a solution - replace the UUID refs with the old fashioned /dev/xxxx refs
[03:18] <CTho> k
[03:19] <zammit> smashcat: in your ini -   extension=whatever.so
[03:19] <n2diy> anorexicpillow: wait, let me take a look at it.
[03:19] <anorexicpillow> okay
[03:19] <mnoir> CTho:when you test your methodology, it will either work and i am wrong or remember this conversation :)
[03:20] <CTho> mnoir: i might actually use damn small linux or something
[03:20] <mnoir> CTho: still look for the UUIDs - they are a more reliable way of addressing disks, except in situations like yours :)
[03:20] <haramabiff> I have a stupid question... how do you find the command line interface.. I am very new to ubuntu
[03:20] <n2diy> anorexicpillow: follow the link labeled Ubuntu Repos
[03:20] <CTho> :)
[03:20] <SmashCat> zammit: Yeah, thanks, I was just doing that. Added them all manually. Got used to Fedora/Redhat adding them during the install.
[03:20] <mnoir> CTho: and DSL may adopt them as well
[03:21] <CTho> mnoir: where are the uuids reference?
[03:21] <BigBamBo> Hello does any one know what package has xorg SDK ?
[03:21] <zammit> haramabiff: applications -> accessories -> terminal
[03:21] <haramabiff> thanks
[03:21] <mnoir> CTho: are you running 6.10 now?
[03:21] <zammit> smashcat, so it works now? =P don't forget to restart php after modifying the ini (if you haven't already)
[03:21] <CTho> mnoir: 6.06 right now
[03:22] <kitche> BigBamBo: xorg-dev or xserver-xorg-dev depending what you want if you mean the include files it's xserver-xorg-dev
[03:22] <mnoir> CTho: oic - wait a sec i will pastebin sumpin for you
[03:22] <BigBamBo> cool thank you
[03:22] <BigBamBo> kitche: Thank you very much
[03:23] <SmashCat> zammit: Yeah, it's picking up the modules now. It was actually mainly the eaccelerator module I needed loading. The docs I found for Ubuntu are wrong though.
[03:23] <n2diy> anorexicpillow: if you have sunbird in your menu, you should be able to click on it, and drag it to the tray.
[03:24] <zammit> smashcat: blah so many wrong docs =( i myself am in the middle of one of those atm. still waiting for a reply =(
[03:24] <anorexicpillow> oh
[03:24] <anorexicpillow> i mean to minimize while running
[03:24] <Bobrobyn> Does anyone know what "sudo: ./ndiswrapper_setup: command not found" means...even when ./ndiswrapper is allowed to tab complete in the terminal?
[03:24] <anorexicpillow> like gaim and gmail thing
[03:24] <anorexicpillow> hide in the system tray
[03:24] <SmashCat> zammit: Yeah, I'll email the author, so hopefully nobody else will have the same problem I had :-)
[03:25] <glick> hi
[03:25] <mnoir> CTho: that pastebin wont let me paste what i wanted.
[03:25] <rioghal> This deskbar applet is quite nice
[03:25] <n2diy> anorexicpillow: you can run it in the background with sunbird &
[03:25] <CTho> mnoir: http://pastebin.mozilla.org
[03:25] <anorexicpillow> how?
[03:25] <mnoir> CTho: k, sec
[03:26] <n2diy> open a terminal, and type sunbird &
[03:26] <glick> hey is it really worth it upgrading from dapper to edgy?
[03:26] <anorexicpillow> oh
[03:26] <rapid> glick, thats your choice
[03:26] <zammit> smashcat: good stuff =)
[03:26] <anorexicpillow> okay ill try that
[03:26] <glick> rapid, i know its my choice
[03:26] <glick> who else's choice would it be?
[03:26] <j0hntc> hey im using an hp pavillion and ever since my switch to linux my wired internet has been ridiculously slow. this happens in every distro ive used (knoppix, gentoo live cd, ubuntu live cd, etc.) but the speeds are normal in windows and wireless anyone konw why this might be happening?
[03:26] <rapid> glick: not ours
[03:26] <mnoir> CTho: look at http://pastebin.mozilla.org/2583
[03:27] <cheeseboy16> sudo nvidia-xconfig wont work
[03:27] <CTho> oh, intersting
[03:27] <mnoir> ct now look at your /etc/fstab
[03:27] <anorexicpillow> hmmm
[03:27] <anorexicpillow> n2diy it doesnt seem to be working
[03:27] <mnoir> the UUID replaces the ref to /dev/whatever
[03:27] <CTho> mnoir: so as long as i use /dev/hda# it'll be ok?
[03:27] <mnoir> CTho: it is a label based method
[03:27] <mnoir> CTho: yes
[03:27] <CTho> great...thanks.
[03:27] <n2diy> anorexicpillow: let it cook a while, mine took a while.
[03:28] <CTho> i'll have to play around with this
[03:28] <anorexicpillow> okay
[03:28] <mnoir> CTho: that fstab was off a plain 6.10
[03:28] <LameBMX> do i have to modprobe fglrx or will using it in xorg.conf make it load?
[03:28] <mnoir> CTho: just a little bump in the road :)
[03:28] <zammit> could someone assist me w/ flgrx and ati video cards? it installed fine, but is not working?
[03:29] <CITguy> could someone direct me to how I can get a DVD to play?
[03:29] <LameBMX> Zambezi, lsmod | grep fglrx ..
[03:29] <mvfeinstein> Hello, Can anyone here help me get my logitech cordless desktop s510 working on 6.10?
[03:29] <n2diy> anorexicpillow: ?
[03:29] <LameBMX> Zammit lsmod | grep fglrx ..
[03:29] <glick> anyone still running dapper?
[03:29] <anorexicpillow> yes
[03:29] <n2diy> glick: yep
[03:29] <anorexicpillow> it is still sitting :P
[03:29] <tomzone> i am
[03:29] <mnoir> glick: of couse
[03:29] <professor_> hey guys
[03:29] <jrevell> edgy wins
[03:29] <LameBMX> zammit, cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep fglrx
[03:30] <glick> im just too lazy to upgrade
[03:30] <LameBMX> zammit, do you get results for those?
[03:30] <glick> and i see no real point to at this point
[03:30] <mnoir> jrevell: contest for difficult to upgrade?
[03:30] <zammit> fglrx 415180 0   \n   agpgart 34888 2 fglrx,via_agp
[03:30] <n2diy> anorexicpillow: should have done something by now, shure it isn't open, and sitting on your task bar?
[03:30] <LameBMX> zammit that means it loading
[03:30] <professor_> Got a question about wireless I have tried everything, where do I get a driver to get broadcon wireless laptop card to work
[03:30] <LameBMX> what about cattin xorg
[03:30] <zammit> lamebmx, how long does it take to load? its been about 10+ minutes
[03:30] <anorexicpillow> yah its open... ill try again
[03:31] <n2diy> anorexicpillow: try what again, it is open?
[03:31] <anorexicpillow> it says command not found
[03:31] <LameBMX> zammit, for what to load?
[03:31] <SmashCat> Glad I had this Edgy DVD, my Gentoo box finally crashed and refused to boot again, so I've tried out Ubuntu for the first time (well, I did have a quick look a few weeks back, but didn't really use it)
[03:31] <anorexicpillow> yes it is open
[03:31] <zammit> lamebmx, and from cat.... driver "fglrx"
[03:31] <SmashCat> Don't think I'll go back to Gentoo now ;-)
[03:31] <vect0rx> smashcat i kjust switch from gentoo to edgy myself
[03:31] <LameBMX> yea you are using those drivers .. what are you waiting on to load?
[03:31] <mnoir> SmashCat: after gentoo, ubuntu is gonna be boring
[03:31] <vect0rx> <3ing this distro
[03:31] <zammit> lamebmx, you said its loading - or did you mean it has already loaded?
[03:32] <Mightily-Oats> hi all, does anyone know what features im missing out on by having noapic and nolapic enabled?
[03:32] <n2diy> anorexicpillow: if it is open, the command was succesful, you can go back into the terminal, and use normally now.
[03:32] <vect0rx> accidently blew some dual boot windows away but not too concerned over it
[03:32] <glick> mnoir, gentoo is a big time sink
[03:32] <LameBMX> zammit, that means its loading the driver in the boot sequence .. why do you thing fglrx isnt working?
[03:32] <mnoir> glick: i agree, and i used to hand build everything
[03:32] <SmashCat> vect0rx: Yeah, I got sick of Gentoo updates screwing the server up. It's nice not having to worry that an update will cost you half a day tweaking and rebuilding everything!
[03:33] <FCSoccy> Question: I am trying to recover windows files using ubuntu (NTFS drive) and Ubuntu cannot mount the drive.  Can someone walk me through allowing access to these files?
[03:33] <mnoir> !ntfs
[03:33] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions. For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[03:33] <zammit> lamebmx, oohh; i was told to run "glxinfo | grep direct" and i should get a line that says "direct rendering: yes" but mine says "no"
[03:33] <FCSoccy> thank you
[03:33] <mnoir> FCSoccy: good luck
[03:33] <LameBMX> zammit, did you modify your xorg.conf file
[03:34] <FCSoccy> oh does it matter that I am on a Live CD?
[03:34] <zammit> lamebmx, yes from driver ati to driver fglrx
[03:34] <LameBMX> and that is it
[03:34] <mnoir> FCSoccy: maybe - go there and read - then tell us
[03:34] <FCSoccy> haha thanks
[03:34] <LameBMX> zammit
[03:34] <mnoir> FCSoccy: give back to da community
[03:35] <zammit> lamebmx, i then restarted X, but then ubuntu never came back up, it froze, i finally just tried typing "restart" and then my computer rebooted
[03:35] <LameBMX> zammit, when you are using fglrx .. i think you need to pipe fglrx info into grep
[03:35] <LameBMX> glxinfo dont work for it
[03:35] <SmashCat> Only thing I've noticed is that the hard drives are not as fast with Ubuntu (using hdparm, the two big drives used to give 49MB/sec every time; now one gives 44MB/sec and the other 26MB/sec(?!). Weird, but not that big an issue
[03:35] <zammit> lamebmx, yes thats all i changed in the xorg.conf
[03:35] <excitatory> so i just did a fresh install of edgy (from a edgy iso downloaded yesterday) on a second machine.. i'm looking at the sources.list and everything is set to dapper?  why might that be?  (keep in mind this is a fresh install on a new machine)
[03:35] <mnoir> excitatory: cuz you were using a 6.06 iso?
[03:36] <zammit> lamebmx, okay so its working then? lol =S
[03:36] <LameBMX> zammit, its your lucky day i was just gonna play with fglrx myself .. so i shall brb .. gotta reboot for it to take effect lol
[03:36] <LameBMX> prolly
[03:36] <zammit> heh k @ lamebmx
[03:36] <excitatory> mnoir: hrm.. but the iso is labeled edgy... but by the looks of it i'm on dapper..
[03:36] <CapNbeefy> hey how do i configure firestarter to allow amule to connect...i know the port is 4662 i just dont know how to set it to allow in firestarter
[03:36] <mnoir> excitatory: it is a live cd so boot and prove what it is :)
[03:37] <mnoir> excitatory: otherwise that is veeeery strange
[03:37] <FCSoccy> I tried the "gksudo gedit /etc/pmount.allow" command and it gave me a warning: "...authentication rejected..." any thoughts?
[03:38] <mnoir> FCSoccy: you put in yer password??
[03:38] <excitatory> mnoir: if i pop in the desktop cd i used could i somehow tell what it is?
[03:38] <FCSoccy> mnoir: its live cd, i don't have a username or password
[03:38] <excitatory> mnoir: argh.. it is 6.06..
[03:39] <mnoir> FCSoccy: hmm i forgot ...
[03:39] <haramabiff> when I try this:    sudo dpkg  --configure -a && sudo apt-get update   I am asked for my password but I am unable to type anything... Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?
[03:39] <mnoir> FCSoccy: dunno - somebody here should know how to get root privs in the live cd...
[03:40] <j0hntc> haramabiff: you can't see your password when typing it as a security measure. you probably are
[03:40] <mnoir> excitatory: i tole you so :)
[03:40] <juanto_> harambiff: you will not be able to see anything but it is being tyed
[03:40] <turbolover> hey guys
[03:40] <turbolover> ive run into a problem when starting ubuntu install
[03:40] <j0hntc> mnoir: it doesnt log you in as root on the live cd?
[03:40] <FCSoccy> mnoir: thanks for trying at least, ill ask everyone
[03:40] <kitche> FCSoccy: try gksu should work and not ask for a password
[03:41] <zeeble> what's the name of the KDE application that's a image editor like gimp?
[03:41] <turbolover> everything works fine then when i hit start it gives me an error screen saying it cant find screen or display
[03:41] <mnoir> FCSoccy: type id in a terminal - who are you?
[03:41] <mnoir> j0hntc: we shall see :)
[03:41] <kitche> zeeble: kde doesn't have an app like gimp that I know of
[03:41] <haramabiff> lol..thanks.. as I said I am a newb..
[03:41] <SmashCat> haramabiff: Use "sudo su -" No more problems ;-)
[03:41] <turbolover> using an ati radeon 9200
[03:41] <FCSoccy> mnoir: great timing for a computer freeze.... (must be the 256 mb ram)
[03:41] <zeeble> kitche: something called kreta, or krita
[03:42] <excitatory> mnoir: well... do you think i should re-download edgy and do another install.. or should i just dist-upgrade?  (like might there be a benefit to installing with edgy?)
[03:42] <mnoir> FCSoccy: another possibility - if /etc/whatever is not moved to a virtual filesystem you will not be able to change it
[03:42] <kitche> zeeble: kritia is it it's part of koffice
[03:42] <HeathenDan> kitche, yes
[03:42] <zeeble> kitche: oh. .. let me check it out.
[03:43] <mnoir> excitatory: hard to say - i did 2 dist upgrades here and have no complaints but most bad problems (besides idiots) have been in upg rather than clean install
[03:43] <kitche> zeeble: I use gimp myself just easier for me and gimp doesn't depend on gnome
[03:43] <FCSoccy> mnoir: i'll give you an update in a min, computer is rebooting (stupid celeron mobile)
[03:43] <mnoir> FCSoccy: :)
[03:43] <tiancongxin> hiall
[03:44] <zeeble> kitche: i use gimp too, but i heard someone mention a kde application, so just wanted to see what it is about :)
[03:46] <rioghal> Be back later
[03:47] <iratsu> how would one go about creating an ubuntu package mirror?

[03:51] <amicrawler> hello
[03:52] <FCSoccy> mnoir: when i load terminal, it says "to run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>".  See "man sudo_root" for details.
[03:52] <amicrawler> man sudo
[03:52] <amicrawler> in the shell you type  man sudo
[03:53] <mnoir> FCSoccy: you can try that for gedit - it should work
[03:53] <amicrawler> it will tell you evry thing you want to know about that subject
[03:53] <FCSoccy> ok thanx
[03:53] <mnoir> FCSoccy: the reason gksudo is usually used is an impression that a gui tool should be used with a gui tool

[04:04] <adub> zammit dang str8 i am
[04:04] <haxality> hello, I was wondering if anyone knows any good software/tutorials that would help me use my computer as a software synthesizer
[04:05] <Aggort> adub: If any linux distro allowed you to play video games like Windows, it'd be all over, and I'd fully migrate from Widnows XP to Ubuntu
[04:05] <Cholito> No2Bri: its a step by step, how can you need help?
[04:05] <adub> sk00L forces me to use the crap so yeah i wasnt able to wine in a lot of doze appz a year ago ticks me off and emulated windows is slow crap
[04:05] <Aggort> Right now I can't do that for WoW or CS or BF2 or War Rock!
[04:05] <washbear> haxality -try googling "soundgarden" and "planet ccrma"
[04:05] <haxality> thank you very much
[04:05] <adub> aggort im 1 up im no gamer but school forces me to use whinedoze
[04:05] <adub> but anyhow
[04:05] <nn531> tomas_: anyone answer your question yet?
[04:06] <adub> im just studying hardware compliance of ubunut and im excited of how the community has grown since my last entrance
[04:06] <Aggort> adub: Really, that sucks. If I wasn't a gamer I;d be set
[04:06] <nolimitsoya> Aggort, technicaly, its about game developers not letting you play on linux, and not linux disallowing you anything
[04:06] <Aggort> True
[04:06] <adub> anyone know of radeon xpress 200 m working out of box with ubuntu as in fresh install and not needing to self install teh driver
[04:06] <Pelo> Aggort,  and there are linux games, not much and not the latest but there are some
[04:07] <No2Bri> Cholito: so do I type $ apt-cache search linux-headers-`uname -r` in the terminal?
[04:07] <washbear> Aggort - isn't gaming on its way to consoles anyway?
[04:07] <adub> also i have a ubiquiti wifi card
[04:07] <Aggort> Pelo - Yea I know
[04:07] <Aggort> Washbear - HELL NO
[04:07] <tritium> adub: which driver?  The open "ati" driver, or the closed "fglrx" driver?
[04:07] <adub> does madwifi come preinstalled on the latest ubuntu??
[04:07] <tritium> adub: yes
[04:07] <adub> tritium i use to use the closed fglrx driver
[04:07] <adub> have to use that with the ati
[04:07] <zammit> adub, i'm not sure, but ubuntu recognized my wireless card no problem =)
[04:07] <truckin> adub - avoid the fglrx driver, use the generic ati
[04:08] <nn531> tomas_: ??
[04:08] <tritium> adub: fglrx is not installed by default.  Perhaps in future releases it can be, but not currently.
[04:08] <Aggort> Washbear - In a way yes, but way too many games are still on the PC only. IMHO I think they need to ditch efforts to make PC exclusives and keep people coming to the systems
[04:08] <truckin> adub - any radeon model should fire right up.
[04:08] <tritium> !ati > | adub
[04:08] <zammit> truckin, really avoid fglrx driver? i've been trying to install in the past few weeks and have had no luck
[04:08] <harushimo> anybody know how to image a hard drive
[04:08] <adub> truckin even with my widescreen and i remember back in the day i use to have to use the fglrx driver a year ago
[04:08] <washbear> Aggort - ok, havent really played much since C64, with two minor regressions: at the time of Wolfenstein and Age of Empires
[04:08] <Aggort> Anybody know how to fix GRUB erroe 28
[04:08] <tritium> heh
[04:08] <Aggort> Washbear - Love wolfenstine hated empires
[04:08] <truckin> zammit - it sucked, i reverted to ati, and 50 screensavers decided to work...go figure
[04:08] <Aggort> lol
[04:09] <harushimo> i know i can use dd but I always to pipe the image to my computer
[04:09] <tritium> adub: I use "ati" with a widescreen laptop and a 4:3 external monitor (dualhead)
[04:09] <Cholito> No2Bri: yes, that way you get your kernel version
[04:09] <pagefault> yeah stay away from fglrx
[04:09] <washbear> Aggort - my favourite will always be Brue Lee on C64 :)
[04:09] <pagefault> unless you like your system to be as crashy as windows
[04:09] <pagefault> heh
[04:09] <adub> tritium so it will autorecognize my settings
[04:09] <washbear> it's been downhill ever since
[04:09] <adub> the install
[04:09] <tritium> adub: yes, it should.
[04:09] <zammit> truckin, any idea on how to get rid of fglrx completely? i just installed it, and it hasn't worked
[04:09] <Aggort> Washbear - I can't beat my NES days, but my favorite game ever is Sonic the Hedgehog 3
[04:10] <Ice_Wewe> zammit: use synaptic with "Complete Removal" option?
[04:10] <adub> also the madwifi driver for my ubiquiti card it has atheros chipset
[04:10] <tritium> zammit: uninstall the packages you installed, and the sudo-dpkg reconfigure xserver-xorg, and choose ati
[04:10] <adub> that will work on a fresh install of the latest ubuntu?
[04:10] <tritium> s/the/then
[04:10] <pagefault> what is with that anyway, nvidia has their own package
[04:10] <pagefault> but ati gets squashed in with wireless drivers?
[04:10] <leros> !ati
[04:10] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:10] <zammit> tritium, ice_wewe thanks
[04:10] <Aggort> I need to egt grub fixed so I can actually boot to the isntalled version of lUbuntu I hate how slow this live CD is
[04:10] <tritium> adub: it has worked for the last 2 for me, maybe longer, but that's as old as my Thinkpad is
[04:11] <Ice_Wewe> Aggort: what's wrong with grub?
[04:11] <truckin> zammit - edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf the 'dpgk-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg'  reboot or /etc/init.d/gdm restart.
[04:11] <adub> see cause im stuck in the mud if i cant get my wireless pcmcia up ill have no internet
[04:11] <Aggort> Ice_Wewe: Error 17
[04:11] <truckin> zammit - just replace fglrx wth ati. iirc
[04:11] <Ice_Wewe> Aggort: can you elaborate? I don't happen to have Error 17 memorized
[04:11] <Clujo> hehe
[04:11] <tritium> yes, that's all that's strictly necessary, truckin
[04:12] <Aggort> Ice_Wewe: That's all it is
[04:12] <Aggort> lol
[04:12] <Ice_Wewe> Aggort: ok ok ok (goes to Google)
[04:12] <tritium> adub: I'm speaking mainly to your ati question.  I'm not sure about your chipset.  You may need ndiswrapper.
[04:12] <Aggort> Ice_Wewe: It will start to load Grub and then boom error 17
[04:12] <adub> has anyone been able to wine in office 2003??
[04:12] <pagefault> no but I have installed office 2003 in wine
[04:13] <adub> lol pagefault cool
[04:13] <Ice_Wewe> Aggort: "17 : Cannot mount selected partition | This error is returned if the partition requested exists, but the filesystem type cannot be recognized by GRUB. "
[04:13] <adub> and it is not buggy at all runs smooth
[04:13] <pagefault> you need to copy over pretty much your entire windows dir to wine
[04:13] <pagefault> and use native dlls
[04:13] <Ice_Wewe> Aggort: any idea what the root fs type is?
[04:13] <Aggort> yes
[04:13] <Aggort> ext 32
[04:13] <Ice_Wewe> Aggort: wait wait wait
[04:13] <Aggort> lol
[04:13] <adub> pagefault does it run stablely
[04:13] <Ice_Wewe> Aggort: where did you install grub, to the root, or the MBR?
[04:14] <pagefault> adub: yeah it runs well enough
[04:14] <pagefault> it has some small problems
[04:14] <Aggort> root
[04:14] <leros> what does this mean: "libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b
[04:14] <leros> "
[04:14] <Ice_Wewe> Aggort: yeah, install it to the MBR
[04:14] <pagefault> crossoveroffice is a lot better and easier to get going
[04:14] <adub> what about crossover office
[04:14] <heapme> using office from beyond the grave? i dunno
[04:14] <adub> oh so crossover office does let you run office 2003 now??
[04:14] <Ice_Wewe> Aggort: I don't think you know how to do that, want me to find out?
[04:14] <pagefault> you have to tweak wine a lot
[04:14] <pagefault> adub: yes
[04:14] <adub> i was only able to get office 2000 up a year ago they mustve done some progressive work on it
[04:14] <adub> nice to see gosh i love linux
[04:15] <pagefault> yeah they came out with another version
[04:15] <Aggort> Ice_Wewe: No i know how I;ve done it ebfore
[04:15] <Aggort> but I think my MBR is fucked up
[04:15] <adub> pagefault this is very good news
[04:15] <pagefault> they support WoW now as well
[04:15] <pagefault> officially
[04:15] <Ice_Wewe> Aggort: ok, but won't grub just overwrite whatever's there?
[04:15] <pagefault> heh
[04:15] <adub> do you know of any screencasting program that is solid
[04:15] <adub> for linux to make videos of your screen etc
[04:15] <Aggort> Ice_Wewe: Should but still got the error
[04:15] <Ice_Wewe> Aggort: good that you know, because even though I've done it before, I don't do it often enough to remember, like my online banking password
[04:15] <adub> istanbul was around a year ago but super buggy
[04:15] <pagefault> no idea
[04:16] <Aggort> kik
[04:16] <Mazin> how do I fix this argb issue? http://files.aztekera.com/images/argbbug.png
[04:16] <Ice_Wewe> Aggort: you installed it to the MBR?
[04:16] <Aggort> Not right now before I did
[04:16] <Aggort> I am awaiting ikonias return
[04:16] <Balsamic_Chicken> what's wrong with the .png image
[04:16] <Balsamic_Chicken> it looks purty =)
[04:16] <Aggort> he has been heloping me a great deal
[04:16] <Ice_Wewe> Aggort: are you sure that Grub is pointing to a device that exists?
[04:16] <Ice_Wewe> Aggort: I mean for your / partition
[04:16] <maddash> my .xsession isn't executing like it should (with the loading of wdm)....any ideas?
[04:17] <Mazin> Balsamic_Chicken: It's not supposed to be so washed out
[04:17] <adub> ok is there a way to section of my partitions right now without deleting them other than partition magic
[04:17] <Ice_Wewe> maddash: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg?
[04:17] <greg> thank u whoever heleped me a minute ago
[04:17] <pagefault> well
[04:17] <Mazin> Balsamic_Chicken: it's like, selecting "Lighten" instead of "Normal" compositing in Photoshop
[04:17] <adub> partition magic has screwed up my computer partitions before i have two ntfs partitions that are taking up my entire system
[04:17] <pagefault> I have a common question, how do you get alsa dmix working with OSS support?
[04:18] <kitche> pagefault: install aoss-alsa
[04:18] <pagefault> I have followed like 3 guides and half of them sort of work
[04:18] <Aggort> Ice_Wewe: Very
[04:18] <pagefault> they work but not at the same time
[04:18] <pagefault> I can use an OSS app but then nothing else can use the soundcard
[04:18] <leros> what does this mean: "libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b"
[04:18] <Ice_Wewe> Aggort: ok, well is there anything on the root partition you care about?
[04:18] <erudified> How can I create 'network places' (or whatever they're called) that don't appear on my desktop
[04:18] <Ice_Wewe> leros: it means that libGL doesn't support visual 0x4b
[04:18] <maddash> ice_wewe: "-phigh"?
[04:19] <Ice_Wewe> maddash: I don't know, it's in xorg.conf, in case you screw X up
[04:19] <erudified> also, is there any way to get gnome to support FUSE or something?
[04:19] <leros> ice_weww: what impact does that have on my system?
[04:19] <Ice_Wewe> leros: I don't know, is your system doing anything you don't want?
[04:19] <erudified> It'd be awesome to have a nice gui for mounting sftp volumes via FUSE =)
[04:19] <leros> well, i have been unable to get XGL to run
[04:19] <Ice_Wewe> leros: let my phrase it this way "Were you trying to do something that this bug/lack of feature prevented?:
[04:19] <Ice_Wewe> "*
[04:20] <cld2> can anyone tell me what program ubuntu uses to guess at and generate the xorg.conf ?
[04:20] <adub> how long has ubuntu 6.10 been out?
[04:20] <cld2> since 6/10/06
[04:20] <maddash> ice_wewe: didn't screw anything up that has to do w/xorg...it's just xsession that won't freakin' run!
[04:20] <Ice_Wewe> cld2: dexconf
[04:20] <cld2> adub: so a little over 3 months
[04:20] <Ice_Wewe> maddash: ok, so try the same command on xsession
[04:21] <cld2> Ice_Wewe: thanks.
[04:21] <Ice_Wewe> maddash: wait, but xsession is part of X
[04:21] <karakara> yahbuntew
[04:21] <maddash> ice_wewe huh???
[04:21] <adub> oh gez it was 5.10 this time last year i think
[04:21] <adub> so it has updated a lot
[04:21] <dredhammer> hello is there anyway to edit the file properties of multimedia files like movies you create yourself?
[04:21] <cld2> how do I figure out what package a given file is in? say i have the path?
[04:21] <adub> does anyone do screencast from linux?
[04:21] <kitche> pagefault: well OSS can only use your card one app at a time but with aoss you can have many apps open
[04:22] <Ice_Wewe> cld2: go to synaptic and do a search for "Provided" or "Provides"
[04:22] <Ice_Wewe> cld2: I think
[04:22] <nolimitsoya> adub, its actualy only been two releases; one every 6months
[04:22] <Balsamic_Chicken> Mazin ic, sorry i can't be of too much help with that, i'm just now learning gimp as i got along lol
[04:22] <adub> nolimitsoya cool i love this stuff
[04:22] <cld2> Ice_Wewe: im trying to do it the other way around
[04:22] <pagefault> kitche, well if I use real OSS drivers I can use multiple OSS apps, but my problem is when OSS is being used I can't use any ALSA apps
[04:22] <cld2> I have /usr/bin/dexconf and I want to figure out what package it came from.
[04:22] <Ice_Wewe> cld2: trying to find out which package provides a binary?
[04:22] <nikin> i ame writing a how-to about installig GuildWars on Edgy. where should i post it?
[04:23] <adub> does anyone know about screen video capturing in linux has there been any big advances in doing this or is it possible to wine windows media encoder in?
[04:23] <cld2> Ice_Wewe: correct.
[04:23] <Mightily-Oats> my hdd sounds like its parking the heads clicks about every 10 seconds
[04:23] <Kr0ntab> It's is does not present itself as a USB device, so therefore it cannot use the infamous usbserial module (that would have been too easy)...  :-(
[04:23] <Mightily-Oats> just randomly starts happening
[04:23] <Kr0ntab> arg...
[04:24] <ankan_> hey guys..i have mplayer mozilla-plugin for firefox in ubuntu dapper....and whenever i try to play an online video it buffers upto 99% and stops...i cant play any video...i have the win32 codecs
[04:24] <nolimitsoya> Mightily-Oats, backup, now!
[04:24] <Kr0ntab> srry mates.. wrong window
[04:24] <Mightily-Oats> only fix is to reboot.. any ideas?
[04:24] <Ice_Wewe> cld2: so do what I said for the binary name, and if a package provides that binary (try not to give the full path, I find that that doesn't work well) it'll show up
[04:24] <truckin> Mightily-Oats - type 'top' in an xterm and see what process is sooo busy.
[04:24] <nn531> ankan_: join the club, where did you find your tutorial?
[04:24] <dredhammer> how do i edit the properties of multimedia files in nautilus?
[04:24] <Mightily-Oats> the light itself isnt flashing... nothing odd in top

[04:24] <kitche> truckin: top won't help him it's his hard drive failing probably
[04:25] <KingPest> anybody have banshee working on 6.10 amd64?
[04:25] <nolimitsoya> Mightily-Oats, as is said, backup. check smart data, but backup first thing
[04:25] <Mightily-Oats> smart data?
[04:25] <truckin> Mightily-Oats - hrm, man hdparm
[04:25] <strabes> Would anyone be able to compare the support of zen vision:m versus ipod video in linux?
[04:25] <nolimitsoya> truckin, no!
[04:25] <bf> anyone know if there is a trick to getting nvidia drivers set up in edgy?  i've tried every tutorial/installer i could find, and i can't get 3d
[04:25] <Ice_Wewe> Mightily-Oats: is it an external drive?
[04:25] <mvfeinstein> Can anyone recommend apt sources that are faster then the default ubuntu 6.10?
[04:25] <Ice_Wewe> Mightily-Oats: Seagate?
[04:25] <Mightily-Oats> internal.. sata laptop
[04:25] <nolimitsoya> truckin, dont _ever_ run perf testing on a failing drive
[04:25] <Ice_Wewe> Mightily-Oats: brand of drive?
[04:25] <Mightily-Oats> fujitsu
[04:25] <adub> does anyone know if i would have to delete my entire partition to get an install working of linux??
[04:25] <Mightily-Oats> 5400 rpm
[04:25] <nolimitsoya> Mightily-Oats, dont do anything before backing up. itll make things worse if its failing
[04:25] <Ice_Wewe> Mightily-Oats: does it do this all the time, or only sometimes?
[04:25] <truckin> it cant hurt to read the man page?
[04:26] <adub> i have two ntfs partitions taking up my entire hard drive
[04:26] <ankan_> nn531: wht u mean by the tutorial?....i just grabbed the mplayer fonts and the plugin for mplayer
[04:26] <Mightily-Oats> only sometimes... usually after the laptops been on a while.. turn it off for about 5 and then back on again and its fine

[04:26] <Ice_Wewe> Mightily-Oats: it's re-calibrating the heads... I just read an article on this
[04:27] <Mightily-Oats> doesnt sould like its dying (no screaming)... just the ticking like its parking.. then reads.. then parks again
[04:27] <Ice_Wewe> Mightily-Oats: nothing to worry about
[04:27] <amicrawler> is there a place in ubuntu to get wireless dev working ?
[04:27] <Mightily-Oats> really... phew
[04:27] <amicrawler> i hava a wmp11 v4 pci card
[04:27] <superkirbyartist> I am having a hard time using D-Link 802.11g Laptop Wireless Card.  I don't have a "wireless" option in "Networking".
[04:27] <Ice_Wewe> amicrawler: well, if your computer recognizes the device, network-admin?
[04:27] <Mightily-Oats> ok.. any way to stop it.. or it has to do this?
[04:27] <nolimitsoya> Mightily-Oats, a failing drive doesnt have to be screaming
[04:27] <Ice_Wewe> Mightily-Oats: doesn't mean you shouldn't back it up
[04:27] <imbecile> i love ubuntu!!!!!
[04:27] <nn531> ankan_: did you do anything with libdvdcss2
[04:27] <amicrawler> and a netgear thumdrive usb wireless to
[04:27] <superkirbyartist> I would appreciate any advice not leading to worsen the laptop.
[04:27] <Ice_Wewe> Mightily-Oats: no, it's part of the drives functions, if you access the drive or interrupt it, it will continue the process later
[04:28] <Mightily-Oats> very true.. backing up now.. ive been caught without backup before
[04:28] <Ice_Wewe> Mightily-Oats: I'm not sure you can stop it, since it's a performance aid to the drive
[04:28] <Mightily-Oats> ok.. so these days they make drives that randomly tick on you..
[04:28] <Mightily-Oats> lol
[04:28] <karakara> :s
[04:28] <Mightily-Oats> or tick you off when you hear the ticking all the time and think somethings wrong
[04:28] <karakara> built in clock
[04:28] <Ice_Wewe> Mightily-Oats: no, the drive has to re-calibrate the heads once in-a-while, how is it supposed to know if it's the middle of the night or not?
[04:29] <Ice_Wewe> Mightily-Oats: all the time?
[04:29] <Kr0ntab> anyone familiar with getting a dell 5700 PCI Express Mini Card (CDMA EVDO) working in linux (I mean... ubuntu... so we remain on-topic)?  my search thus far has been fruitless.
[04:29] <kitche> Mightily-Oats: actually they don't soudns liek your heads are about to crash to me actually
[04:29] <Ice_Wewe> Mightily-Oats: you said it wasn't all the time
[04:29] <Mightily-Oats> nah.. not all the time.. like it didnt do it at all yesterday
[04:29] <nolimitsoya> Ice_Wewe, this is once every ten minutes. this is a failing drive
[04:29] <Kr0ntab> It's is does not present itself as a USB device, so therefore it cannot use the infamous usbserial module.
[04:29] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: ...ok
[04:29] <amicrawler> ok sees wlan0
[04:29] <ankan_> nn531: thts allready installed in my system
[04:29] <Ice_Wewe> Mightily-Oats: well I have a USB -> IDE external drive that sits there and does this all day, nothings wrong with it
[04:29] <Mightily-Oats> a few days ago it did.. then about 2 days ago i installed edgy...
[04:29] <Ice_Wewe> Mightily-Oats: Western Digital 160GB
[04:30] <nn531> ankan_: yeah hmm I got 1 video to play once and thats it.. no more
[04:30] <Mightily-Oats> hadnt done it until now
[04:30] <imbecile> how do i enable the universe repo?
[04:30] <amicrawler> how do i get my mrg to use it
[04:30] <nolimitsoya> Mightily-Oats, what happens when you turn your computer of is that all electronics get reset, platters and heads cool, etc
[04:30] <LameBMX> arrrr
[04:30] <LameBMX> i am now on the fglrx
[04:30] <nolimitsoya> Mightily-Oats, when they heat up again, your problems comre back
[04:30] <nn531> ankan_: so im just givin you what I did, try the steps on http://www.cs.cornell.edu/~djm/ubuntu/ and see if any of that helps

[04:30] <Ice_Wewe> Mightily-Oats: don't know, can't really help you. ^^^ @ nolimitsoya's answer
[04:30] <ankan_> nn531: huh...tht blows....anywhere to find the solution
[04:30] <Ice_Wewe> Mightily-Oats: eh, the first one
[04:31] <nolimitsoya> Mightily-Oats, id not trust that drive with anything 'till its checked, deep
[04:31] <Mightily-Oats> sounds like its stopped doing it now
[04:31] <SmashCat> This is weird, there is no way to set the domain name on Ubuntu Edgy. The domainname tool is missing, dnsdomainname just errors out when used to set anything, hostname can (obviously) only set the host, and there are no config files.
[04:31] <Ice_Wewe> Mightily-Oats: it has to re-calibrate the heads because when the HDD cools/heats up the metals expand and contract, changing the disk geography (if you will)
[04:31] <Mightily-Oats> yeah.. ill back up and seek another drive just for standby
[04:31] <Mightily-Oats> just in case.. and if it is just re-calibrating then i have another drive to dump stuff on :)
[04:32] <Mightily-Oats> ok.. just started again.. i heard a tick
[04:32] <Ice_Wewe> Mightily-Oats: Do as you please, I don't feel that anything is wrong. Then again, it's not my data to loose
[04:32] <nolimitsoya> Ice_Wewe, modern drives have glass platters, and you wont see any temp diffs within a 10min period
[04:32] <amicrawler> say not connected

[04:33] <ubotu> zak: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[04:33] <Mightily-Oats> thanks <Ice_Wewe> and <nolimitsoya>.. yeah.. it probably is just re-calibration.. but i need the data :)
[04:33] <IntuitiveNipple> RAID it ?
[04:33] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: well I'm assuming he's using the computer for more than 10 minutes, I kno that I happen to keep this desktop and a server on 24/7, so there would be no cool-down time
[04:33] <Mightily-Oats> and who knows... thanks all...
[04:33] <nolimitsoya> Ice_Wewe, some disks move their heads to avoid local wear and heatbuildup over the tracks they hoover when idle, but thats not parking. Mightily-Oats says this sounds like parking, and thats done on spinup/read errors
[04:33] <variant> Mightily-Oats: take a look at hddtemp and hdparm and also syslog messages for kernel warning
[04:33] <variant> s
[04:33] <heapme> when i put /home on its own partition should i make it a primary or logical partition?
[04:34] <Ice_Wewe> variant: I don't have the command hddtemp, is it part of another application?
[04:34] <karakara> doesnt matter much, i use a primary tho in case i want to boot from it
[04:34] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: ok, well I've had 2 1.8" iPod HDDs die on me, and whenever they did parking, the platters spun down and back up again, so I think this is different
[04:35] <Mightily-Oats> hdd temp is 51 degreec
[04:35] <nolimitsoya> Ice_Wewe, a spindown/up is diffrent from parking
[04:35] <heapme> you can boot from /home?
[04:35] <crimson> does galeon suffer the same security disadvantage that mozilla does?
[04:35] <nolimitsoya> Mightily-Oats, thats high
[04:36] <Mightily-Oats> ahh.. ok... time to buy a laptop cooling pad
[04:36] <crimson> as in are they so closely related that the large amount of people who use mozilla render galeon less stable?
[04:36] <karakara> boot from /home.. no, boot from the drive if i format it, yes
[04:36] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: no, this was a failing HDD that would park the heads and spin down then back up...
[04:37] <nolimitsoya> Ice_Wewe, im with you so far, but im not going to argue this; a spindown/up-retry is diffrent from parking
[04:37] <Ice_Wewe> Mightily-Oats: mine is 62C
[04:37] <kitche> crimson: well considering that galeon uses gecko but I never used galeon and never heard of security problems with seamonky or galeon
[04:37] <nolimitsoya> Ice_Wewe, thats dangerously high
[04:37] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: ok, agree to dis-agree
[04:37] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: ok
[04:37] <crimson> kitche: but it is based on mozilla
[04:38] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: it has very little cooling, and has been running like this for 6 months, so I'm not gonna break a sweat over it
[04:38] <kitche> crimson: no it's based on gecko not based on mozilla gecko is the engine that runs both
[04:38] <nolimitsoya> Ice_Wewe, you should. your drive will fail prematurely
[04:38] <crimson> kitche: it is described as a GNOME browser based on mozilla, word for word, in their description
[04:38] <Mightily-Oats> ok.. thanks all.. i gtg... cya
[04:39] <jshadias> "Galeon is a GNOME Web browser based on Gecko (the mozilla layout engine)."
[04:39] <kitche> crimson: yes, but the only thing that galeon and seamonkey have in common really is that both use the gecko engine
[04:39] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: meh, the HDD in the server was at 41C
[04:40] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: but I think it was sleeping...
[04:40] <crimson> kitche: then what about galeon is based on mozilla is what i'd like to know, i like them both but i am worried about security and stability so i am considering the switch, but i'd like to know if it is worth my time
[04:41] <amicrawler> in control panel  in kde  when i push admin mode it will not go in  how come it just sit there in a red outline ....................
[04:41] <mcquaid> something basic but i forget how,  i need to test something and I need to be offline to test this.  I've been unplugging this puter from the router

[04:42] <nolimitsoya> adub, it can, but its dangerous. have a backup
[04:42] <mcquaid> thx and thx
[04:42] <kitche> crimson: Galeon is not based on mozilla read this "Galeon is a GNOME Web browser based on Gecko (the mozilla layout engine)."
[04:42] <mcquaid> now let me see if that wor
[04:42] <zammit> hello, is there any reason that my sound just all of a sudden doesn't work? i've been messing with ati/fglrx, but what would that have anything to do with it?
[04:42] <mcquaid> ;)
[04:42] <amicrawler> in control panel  in kde  when i push admin mode it will not go in  how come it just sit there in a red outline ....................
[04:42] <Aggort> I think ikonia forgot about me
[04:42] <truckin> variant -  good answer :)
[04:43] <kitche> crimson: seamonkey is based on mozilla though
[04:43] <adub> nolimitsoya it can what is the option on installing just resize partition etc
[04:43] <adub> also do you still have to create a linux swap partition on install
[04:43] <nolimitsoya> adub, yes
[04:43] <crimson> kitche: are you promoting seamonkey?
[04:43] <crimson> out of curiosity
[04:43] <adub> k
[04:43] <ws_> hello?
[04:43] <kitche> crimson: no just trying to tell you that Galeon is not based on mozilla
[04:44] <Cholito> if I get this: 'unable to open files list file for package `cdrecord': Input/output error' when installing (using apt-get or aptitude) should i report a bug in cdrecord or apt-get/aptitude?

[05:02] <turbolover> yes
[05:02] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: no, it's a Western Digital 250GB KS 3.5" Desktop drive
[05:02] <Aggort> kitche: I did everything ikonia asked me to and still nothing
[05:02] <HymnToLife> C is C, whatezver the platform you run it on
[05:02] <magic_ninja> turbolover: ty
[05:02] <magic_ninja> ok
[05:02] <nolimitsoya> Ice_Wewe, still, read the documentation. always.
[05:03] <magic_ninja> i havn't really done anything programing wise, just scripting
[05:03] <bds> !aptitude | me
[05:03] <ubotu> me: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT, like apt-get. However, aptitude can remember the dependencies installed with a package and remove them if you uninstall. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide

[05:03] <imbecile> HymnToLife, I dont see what to uncomment
[05:03] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: right, so Google if I didn't get a manual with it?
[05:03] <HymnToLife> imbecile, pastebin the whole file
[05:03] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: cause I got a static bag and a HDD, and no manual
[05:03] <HymnToLife> !pastebin
[05:03] <bruenig> that factoid needs to be changed in light of apt-get autoremove

[05:04] <sean_> lupine_85: will you be on here in a few minutes once i've reinstalled ubuntu to get advice on setting up apache without destroying linux?
[05:04] <lupine_85> probably not :s
[05:05] <] batistuta[_> beryll is amazing
[05:05] <lupine_85> TBH it's not an irc-appropriate thing anyway. You're best sitting down with a tutorial.. or a book
[05:05] <Aggort> can't anyone help me with this bastard of a problem
[05:05] <magic_ninja> what is this big deal about beryl...all i hear about is the glitches
[05:05] <Aggort> GRUB error 17 sucks
[05:05] <nolimitsoya> !helpme | Aggort
[05:05] <ubotu> Aggort: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:05] <imbecile> HymnToLife, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/612/
[05:05] <sean_> lupine_85: a book! i have a book! lol... the book's the one giving me all the problems

[05:05] <Aggort> bastard is not a bad word
[05:05] <sean_> i think i'll install Red Hat Linux, as that's the version of linux the book assumes i'm using
[05:05] <MTecknology> How do I output errors to a file?
[05:05] <HymnToLife> imbecile, is that _all_ you have ?
[05:06] <nolimitsoya> Ice_Wewe, thats pretty much normal working conditions
[05:06] <zammit> aggort, have you googled the problem?
[05:06] <lupine_85> Aggort: problems don't get married, so it's not that context; therefore, it's the insulting context. but yeah.
[05:06] <Aggort> zammit: yes
[05:06] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: yeah, but 63C ain't that hot
[05:06] <nolimitsoya> Ice_Wewe, usualy its between 10-90% relative air humidity as well
[05:06] <nolimitsoya> Ice_Wewe, yes it is
[05:06] <imbecile> HymnToLife,  let me try again
[05:06] <turbolover> ubotu why would i get a screen saying display not found when trying to start the livecd?
[05:06] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: well, we're supposed to be in the middle of *ahem* winter, but with all the rain we've been getting, I'm sure the humidity is less than 90%
[05:07] <Cholito> turbolover: xDDDDD
[05:07] <MTecknology> How do I output errors from command line to a file?
[05:07] <HymnToLife> turbolover, there can be 1,000 reasons for it, the most common is that the X server is trying to use a bad driver
[05:07] <jrib> MTecknology: 2> file  at the end of a command
[05:07] <nikin> Cholito: did you try to clear the apt-cache .. mybe the cdrecord package there is broken
[05:07] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: and to think I didn't know or care till 10 minutes ago
[05:07] <Aggort> I;ve been on here since 2 pm... still I can't access windows and jsut got ubuntu instlalled now I can't access it...it's very very frustrating
[05:07] <nolimitsoya> Ice_Wewe, please understand that the temperature will affect (among other things) the viscosity of the damping and lubrication fluid, and greatly influence wear
[05:08] <MTecknology> jrib, aight, I was trying > and >> - but it's 2> ??
[05:08] <Cholito> nikin: Ithink it IS broken, but it seems there is no way to fix it
[05:08] <nolimitsoya> Ice_Wewe, heat cykling will also cause a great deal of metall fatigue
[05:08] <turbolover> hymn, eh, so my card isnt supported? or is ther ea driver i can change it to?
[05:08] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: right, but that's only in the motor, which is brushless anyway
[05:08] <jrib> MTecknology: yes, errors usually get sent to standard error instead of standard out
[05:08] <HymnToLife> turbolover, what card do you have ?
[05:08] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: ...right
[05:08] <charmingtechniq1> How is the migration from FC6 to Ubuntu?
[05:08] <charmingtechniq1> anyone comment?
[05:08] <nolimitsoya> Ice_Wewe, thats the most important part
[05:08] <HymnToLife> charmingtechniq1, dunno, never used FC except at school
[05:08] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: wait wait, I think I can get my Mule to pull it around!
[05:09] <imbecile> HymnToLife, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/613/
[05:09] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: ok, you got me... thanks for telling me
[05:09] <MTecknology> jrib, it's wine though... wine is catching the errors, but I want to save them - ty
[05:09] <Ice_Wewe> MTecknology: what's wrong with wine?
[05:09] <nolimitsoya> Ice_Wewe, not if all the pixiedust has been machined of the platters from a chrashing head, and that will be the probable outcome of a failing bearing
[05:09] <charmingtechniq1> does it have to reformat ... when you migrate from FC5 to Ubuntu?
[05:09] <Asc> Aggort, what's the issue that keeps you from accessing Ubuntu?
[05:09] <HymnToLife> imbecile, open it in gedit, so you can copy/paste the whole file :             gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

[05:10] <Aggort> Grub Error 17 Asc
[05:10] <nikin> Cholito: 'apt-get clean && apt-get check'
[05:10] <onnastick> Anyone have experience getting networking functional in Ubuntu 6.10 from inside a Parallels virtual machine?
[05:10] <adub> does anyone here have a ubiquiti pcmcia card
[05:10] <HymnToLife> hmm, I guess it should be supported
[05:10] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: so, I'd loose data
[05:10] <Aggort> Grub error 17 - All I know is some sort of partition error and no one has helped me yet... well solve it. Kitche and Ikonia were, but then Kitche disappeared and ikonia took a shower never to return
[05:10] <nolimitsoya> Ice_Wewe, yes you would. and a great deal of it too
[05:10] <Asc> charmingtextniq1, I think I kind of think that going from FC to Ubuntu is dificult to impossible.
[05:10] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: ok, so since that hasn't happened yet, I'm good
[05:10] <HymnToLife> turbolover, are you trying to use Ubuntu on the same computer you're on right now ?
[05:11] <Asc> charmingtextniq1, However, installing things with APT is much easier than using RPMs
[05:11] <Aggort> asc: Grub error 17 - All I know is some sort of partition error and no one has helped me yet... well solve it. Kitche and Ikonia were, but then Kitche disappeared and ikonia took a shower never to return
[05:11] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: I'm wondering why the server HDD is so cool, it has almost no cooling, as is also 7200RPM
[05:11] <nolimitsoya> Ice_Wewe, no you arent. it means you are in even more danger that you where before
[05:11] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: must be the pixies
[05:11] <turbolover> yes
[05:11] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: good thing I made backups recently
[05:11] <nolimitsoya> Ice_Wewe, air flow and bearing type, numbers of platters and size of heads all influence temperature
[05:11] <zammit> is someone, anyone available, to help me with my lack of sound?
[05:12] <HymnToLife> turbolover, then to troubleshoot you'll need to try irt again and have a look at the logd
[05:12] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: well putting a fan on top of it seems to have lowered the temp by 13C
[05:12] <HymnToLife> logs*
[05:12] <Cholito> nikin: no luck
[05:12] <kitche> Aggort: usually a reinstall of grub fixes it
[05:12] <Cholito> nikin: still the same
[05:12] <Asc> Aggort - my internets are slow, but I'm trying to look it up
[05:12] <imbecile> HymnToLife, i got "GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed."
[05:12] <nolimitsoya> Ice_Wewe, fans are magnetic, and even though the housing shield pretty good, i wouldnt keep them near magnetic storage devices
[05:12] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: hmm, it seems to have stopped at 51C, but the server HDD is so cool... connect the dots...
[05:12] <turbolover> eh, what is the command to configure X
[05:12] <HymnToLife> imbecile, pretty normal, gedit shoul openup anyway
[05:12] <Aggort> kitche: Isn't that what ikonia had me do? If not I don't know how to
[05:12] <jrib> !xconfig | turbolover
[05:12] <ubotu> turbolover: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg". To configure only the driver and resolution, type: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh".
[05:12] <nolimitsoya> Ice_Wewe, especialy not those that already suffer from blanking...
[05:12] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: ok, so I have to have cooling that isn't magnetic...
[05:13] <HymnToLife> tumbleweed, there are lots of ways to configure X, you can try              sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:13] <Aggort> Asc: I already googled it, there isn't anything that helps
[05:13] <nolimitsoya> Ice_Wewe, regular chassi cooling should be sufficient to move air across the drives
[05:13] <gthb> Good evening
[05:13] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: right, I don't have any chassis cooling
[05:13] <Asc> Aggort, did you use guided partitioning?
[05:13] <nolimitsoya> Ice_Wewe, then you probably has many more problems than you hdd
[05:13] <nolimitsoya> *have
[05:13] <Aggort> Asc: yes
[05:13] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: probably
[05:14] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: got rid of chassis cooling cause it was loud
[05:14] <Aggort> Asc: Ikonia ran me through a ton of commands through terminal and said everything looked right
[05:14] <nolimitsoya> Ice_Wewe, get good fans, and optimize air flow
[05:14] <MTecknology> Ice_Wewe, so... any answers?
[05:14] <Asc> Aggort: Okay, now that's odd.
[05:14] <imbecile> HymnToLife,  im not sure what im doing wrong gedit opened but the txt didnt transfer
[05:14] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: or, throw out crummy case and get a new one with good fans
[05:14] <Aggort> Asc: No joke
[05:14] <Cholito> nikin: I think I've tried everything but fsck in a livecd
[05:14] <EnsignRedshirt> Just curious... who is behind the "Ubuntu Christmas Edition"?
[05:14] <Asc> Aggort: Have you tried reinstalling?
[05:14] <Ice_Wewe> MTecknology: oh sorry, hadn't looked at it yet... brb
[05:14] <Aggort> Asc: Tried reinstalling what?
[05:15] <imbecile> EnsignRedshirt,  santa clause
[05:15] <HymnToLife> imbecile, what do you mean "transfer" ?
[05:15] <Asc> AggortL Ubuntu
[05:15] <nikin> Cholito: did you try to reinstall cdrecord with synaptic, (i dont remeber how reinstall goes with apt)
[05:15] <Aggort> Asc: No...
[05:15] <Ice_Wewe> MTecknology: "Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":1.0"." complaining about lack of 3D accel
[05:15] <Aggort> Asc: Really would like not to
[05:15] <imbecile> HymnToLife, i thought it was supposed to transfer complete text
[05:15] <Cholito> nikin: apt-get install --reinstall cdrecord
[05:15] <Aggort> Asc: To be honest, I ebelive the problem is with my PC
[05:15] <HymnToLife> imbecile, it should open gedit with the whole file in it, just copy it to the pastebin
[05:16] <Aggort> Asc: I have something wrong with my PC that I can't get XP to boot without having the Installation CD in
[05:16] <MTecknology> Ice_Wewe, how do I take care of that? I know I have the right driver installed - Beryl works great
[05:16] <onnastick> Anyone have experience getting networking functional in Ubuntu 6.10 from inside a Parallels virtual machine?
[05:17] <Aggort> Asc: it's odd, it doesn't boot to the CD, but if it's not in the windows won;t boot... well now in this case GRUB won't load so  I can't boot anything from my ahrd drive anyway
[05:17] <Asc> Aggort: Yeah, that sounds like it might be a similar problem.  MBR or partition table permanantly damaged or something.
[05:17] <nikin> Cholito: did it does the same?
[05:17] <Cholito> nikin: and no, it doesn't work
[05:17] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: well, you're talking about not putting fans on top of the HDD. (Redneck sounding story). Well, the HDD from another comp failed, so I just put it right on top of my HDD and left it like that for a couple weeks
[05:17] <Aggort> Asc: Permantely?
[05:17] <Aggort> here
[05:17] <Aggort> I have some photos
[05:17] <Ice_Wewe> MTecknology: I don't know, is GLXgears bearable at fullscreen (you'll know what I mean when you try it)
[05:17] <imbecile> HymnToLife,  after every command i type i have no spot to do the next one
[05:18] <HymnToLife> imbecile, close gedit, it will get you back to the promp, you can also add a & after ytour commang
[05:18] <HymnToLife> damn
[05:18] <Asc> Aggort: Well, formatting the disk and installing GRUB pretty much insures that it's not a leftover rootkit or corrupt data or something.
[05:18] <HymnToLife> I definitely need to go to bed
[05:18] <HymnToLife> @time Paris
[05:18] <Cholito> nikin: I'll try a fsck with a livecd no

[05:19] <Aggort> Asc: this is what happens without a the windows XP CD inside booting to hard drive http://img489.imageshack.us/img489/3706/img2993sd3.jpg
[05:20] <Asc> Aggort: If you've got a spare drive somewhere, you could arrange it so it's the boot drive, mount it on /boot, and your main drive on / ... I think
[05:20] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: what about the Antec NSK2400?
[05:20] <Aggort> Asc: This is the CD http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/3126/img2995fg9.jpg

[05:21] <Asc> gonna take a while for those to load on 56k

[05:21] <Asc> xzk: yes, use Cedaga
[05:22] <Jazon> hi
[05:22] <MTecknology> Ice_Wewe, what isn't right?
[05:22] <Ice_Wewe> Asc: yes, Cedega is shareware
[05:22] <nolimitsoya> Ice_Wewe, get your self a dremel, some adda or papst fans, some bitumen mats and have a whack at whatevers under your desk right now. itll be cheaper and better
[05:22] <Ice_Wewe> MTecknology: that it crashes gdm at fullscreen
[05:22] <Jazon> ubuntu edgy powerpc.  can i get automatix to work somehow?
[05:22] <xzk> cedega costs money!!!
[05:22] <magic_ninja> thats right....download it and share it with everyone
[05:22] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: bitumen?
[05:22] <magic_ninja> cedega makes bank rolls by ripping off wine
[05:22] <nolimitsoya> !automatix | Jazon
[05:22] <ubotu> Jazon: 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
[05:23] <Aggort> Asc: This is what happens when the CD I showed is inside. The boot from CD does it's five dots ... and then grub loads. Grub doesn't load (just like windows wouldn't)unless the CD is in. Then grub fail http://img489.imageshack.us/img489/2420/img2999vb2.jpg
[05:23] <nolimitsoya> Ice_Wewe, sort of tar/rubber stuff used for damping
[05:23] <LordTureis> Does anyone know of a preference for gnome-panel that allows a panel applet to take up that last pixel at the right?  It just seems weird that the right corner pixel is a dead spot.
[05:23] <Ice_Wewe> magic_ninja: no, it's been modified to run games that wine can't, but I don't think that justifies paying them lots for it
[05:23] <Jazon> nolimitsoya: ok.  thx
[05:23] <Jazon> !easyubuntu
[05:23] <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
[05:23] <Ice_Wewe> magic_ninja: they used most of the hard work of the wine developers, added a couple lines of code, and started charging bucks for it
[05:23] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: ah, ok
[05:23] <xzk> LordTureis: what dead pixel?
[05:23] <Asc> Aggort: You might be able to pull it off with a USB stick.
[05:24] <magic_ninja> Ice_Wewe: which is why i say its shareware, buy it and share it lol
[05:24] <xzk> LordTureis: in ubuntu ?
[05:24] <LordTureis> yes
[05:24] <Aggort> Asc: Pull what off?
[05:24] <xzk> LordTureis: where?
[05:24] <Asc> Aggort: Booting.
[05:24] <MTecknology> Ice_Wewe, this might be a good time to mention that I also can't open up Ctrl+Alt+F1-6 & 11
[05:24] <Ice_Wewe> MTecknology: right... something ain't right, and I can't help
[05:24] <Ice_Wewe> MTecknology: BTW, what's under F11?
[05:24] <Aggort> Asc: True, but what good would that do me?
[05:25] <Asc> Aggort: Well, you'd be able to boot for one. ;p
[05:25] <MTecknology> Ice_Wewe, full screen VNC
[05:25] <Aggort> Asc: I can boot to CD
[05:25] <Ice_Wewe> MTecknology: ah, ok, don't use that anyway
[05:25] <Aggort> Asc: That's what I am on, I am on Ubuntu install CD using it live
[05:25] <LordTureis> put the deskbar _button_ or the login / logout applet on the far right of the panel.  Then swing your mouse to that corner.  It seems to me that you should automatically activate the button when you click, but you don't.  Just 1 pixel to the left, and it works though.
[05:25] <Linux_Galore> yep, its official sound card support on Linux is "still crap" after 4 years
[05:26] <Asc> Aggort: Well, you'd be able to boot to the drive like you were doing with windows.

[05:26] <Balsamic_Chicken> what's looking glass, it's sort of like beryl, but it looks different, is it part of beryl?
[05:26] <Aggort> Asc: How so?
[05:26] <Aggort> Asc: When yea a USB drive lol but still what good does this do me?
[05:26] <Aggort> well*
[05:26] <Ice_Wewe> Linux_Galore: whats official sound card support? My NForce sound works as good as the day it came (uhh, except I fried line in, iPods really do go too loud...)
[05:26] <nolimitsoya> Balsamic_Chicken, its suns version of aeroglass/beryl
[05:26] <ekaeka> how can I determine how many versions of python I currently have installed?
[05:27] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: so no problem leaving the fan on top of the HDD for the night?
[05:27] <Asc> Aggort: If the computer boots from the USB drive, it should be able to start normally, running the rest of the system from the HDD
[05:27] <GuerrillaWon> Does anyone have any firewall recommendations?
[05:27] <Linux_Galore> Ice_Wewe: creatibe SBlive Externals have been out for years and Linux still doesnt work beyond a claytons hack
[05:27] <Asc> GuerrillaWon: Firestarter's been good to me.
[05:27] <Aggort> Asc: But I need Grub to load to run windows and Ubuntu
[05:27] <jrib> !firewall | GuerrillaWon
[05:27] <ubotu> GuerrillaWon: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[05:27] <nolimitsoya> Ice_Wewe, i wouldnt leave it there for a second, considdering the amount of effort the people at samsung, hitachi and seagate put into blanking

[05:28] <MTecknology> Ice_Wewe, I'd try to post the crash log from full screen, but it's 13.5M
[05:28] <Aggort> or wait? can I boot grub from USB? and then load windows and ubuntu from there?
[05:28] <jrib> imbecile: ubotu told you before, did you read the links he told you about?
[05:28] <Asc> Aggort: The idea is to install GRUB on the USB drive, so that it can load windows and ubuntu.'
[05:28] <Aggort> Asc good Idea
[05:29] <Kr0ntab> ubotu, tell imbecile about repositories
[05:29] <imbecile> jrib,  yes but everytime i check the box it unselects itself after i close
[05:29] <Linux_Galore> Ice_Wewe: sblive USB had "basic stereo" 4 years ago, considering 60% of desktops are laptops the the sblive USB stuff is the most comon 5.1 rigg i find this pretty poor
[05:29] <MTecknology> Ice_Wewe, well... once I turn off XGL glxgears works great in full screen
[05:29] <Asc> Aggort: It should be possible if your BIOS supports it.  I've never tried booting from separate media and running from the HD before, but its been done.
[05:29] <bruenig> imbecile, what version are you running?
[05:30] <Linux_Galore> Ice_Wewe: and I still only can get "basic stereo" in Linux
[05:30] <imbecile> bruenig,  dapper drake
[05:30] <jrib> imbecile: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file please
[05:30] <Balsamic_Chicken> nolimitsoya thx
[05:30] <jrib> !pastebin | imbecile
[05:30] <ubotu> imbecile: 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)
[05:30] <magic_ninja> Linux_Galore: whats your audio card, i have 5.1 surround set up so i can help ya
[05:30] <Aggort> Asc: Is there anythign special I should ahve to do? And I do beleive my bios supports it
[05:30] <Aggort> If not is it possible to boot grub from floppy or even CD?
[05:31] <bruenig> imbecile, run the following command, the whole thing on one line to enable all your repos: 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
[05:31] <Ice_Wewe> Linux_Galore: we all know Creative's the devil
[05:31] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: ?
[05:31] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: care to explain the effort they put into blanking?
[05:31] <nikin> Cholito ?
[05:31] <fangorious> what can I use to check the fan speed and core temp
[05:31] <Linux_Galore> magic_ninja: SBlive USB, got the basic stereo front working but thats all
[05:31] <fangorious> ?
[05:31] <heapme> i want to make an extra partition just for backing up files from my /home partition. how should i do this, just make it another logical ext3fs?
[05:31] <Asc> Aggort: To boot to a USB device, you'll have to fiddle with BIOS - there should be a place where you can select the device you want to boot from.
[05:31] <magic_ninja> heapme: yep that should do it, put it at the very end of the hdd
[05:32] <magic_ninja> heapme: it takes longer to back up, but its easier in the event of hdd problems
[05:32] <magic_ninja> heapme: plus if you want to change your OS then your in good shape
[05:32] <Aggort> Asc: Yes, but what about CD or Floppy? Because installing Grub on my USB looks tricky
[05:32] <heapme> yeah, thanks
[05:32] <Asc> Aggort: You can start GRUB from any type of bootable media, but it'll be a lot easier to deal with if it's RW.
[05:33] <Asc> Aggort: There are GRUB boot floppies, but you'll never fit everything in the /boot partition into one; they're more for installing GRUB and doing recoveries.
[05:33] <magic_ninja> Linux_Galore: open a terminal and do alsamixer
[05:33] <magic_ninja> Linux_Galore: it varies from system to system but play with that, trust me it should work, if you can't figure it out then try searching the ubuntu forums
[05:34] <Linux_Galore> magic_ninja: done get 1 constrol
[05:34] <deoryp> could someone point me to how to get more than one audio source using my sound card at the same time?
[05:34] <Aggort> Asc: I just want to be able to get into windows and Ubuntu,
[05:34] <Asc> Aggort: A CD is also difficult.  I don't know how it would be done.
[05:34] <Linux_Galore> magic_ninja: it only show "one" control
[05:34] <heapme> magic_ninja what should i name the partition though? /backups ?
[05:34] <xtknight> deoryp: what do you mean by 'getting more than one audio source'?
[05:34] <magic_ninja> hmm...usb sound card is a kinda dumb idea if ya ask me, but any who try searching ubuntu forums, never had a usb sound card so i can't help ya too much
[05:34] <deoryp> xtknight: xmms and something else, like mplayer in firefox
[05:34] <Linux_Galore> magic_ninja: ive dont all the alsamixer stuff already
[05:35] <Linux_Galore> done*
[05:35] <magic_ninja> Linux_Galore: ask in #creative, just idle there and be patient, i bet someone will get ya
[05:35] <xtknight> deoryp: oh, you mean if you play sometihng in xmms, mplayer will not play sound?
[05:35] <Asc> Aggort: If your HD is damaged in some way that prevents it from booting without external help, that's going to be tricky no matter what.
[05:35] <imbecile> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/615/     http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/616/
[05:35] <imbecile> bruenig, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/615/     http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/616/
[05:35] <deoryp> xtknight right, and if mplayer is playing and xmms starts it says it can;'t because the sound card is inuse
[05:36] <xtknight> deoryp: that's odd.  i am sure alsa supports multiple sounds at once but maybe it's your driver
[05:36] <magic_ninja> heapme: it doesnt matter what you name it, just something you can remember
[05:36] <magic_ninja> heapme: there should NOT be a "/" in the filename though, the / represents a mount point
[05:36] <Asc> deoryp: Does your mplayer have alsa compiled in?  Use 'mplayer -vo help' to see.
[05:36] <Aggort> Asc: yea it said the CD would be icompatible
[05:36] <xtknight> mplayer -ao help i think
[05:36] <Asc> yeah, that one
[05:37] <Aggort> Asc: Well this sucks because even if I did get grub to boot it wou;dn't get me anywhere, b3ecause I need to boot from the hard drive
[05:37] <bruenig> imbecile, what do you want
[05:37] <bruenig> imbecile, it is all there
[05:37] <heapme> magic_ninja really? does that mean when i put /home on its own dir i shouldnt use / in the name too then?
[05:37] <heapme> er /home in its own partition i meant
[05:37] <Asc> Aggort:Have you been thinking about getting a new drive at all?
[05:37] <witless> should i install stunnel or stunnel4 ?
[05:37] <bruenig> imbecile, oh that was after the command, yeah just do sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.backup /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:37] <imbecile> bruenig,  so it should work? i got some errors of duplicates
[05:37] <bruenig> imbecile, then sudo apt-get update
[05:38] <multimusen> hi
[05:38] <bruenig> you should have all your repos
[05:38] <imbecile> bruenig,  thanks alot man
[05:38] <deoryp> Asc mplayer was just an example, i really want to use glGo and xmms at the same time
[05:38] <xtknight> multimusen: hey
[05:38] <Natoraf> I have a 40 GB mp3 player, how could i install ubuntu on it
[05:38] <Aggort> Asc: I am poor as shit
[05:39] <Asc> deoryp: If you've selected the ALSA plugin of xmms, you should try to find out if glGo has one as well,
[05:39] <multimusen> i cannot install ubuntu on my athlon amd64 pc with a msi motherboard... :-/
[05:39] <Aggort> Asc: Explain again why I couldn't use a floppy to boot Grub
[05:39] <nikin> Natoraf: what mp3 player? ipod?
[05:39] <MTecknology> !!! I'm getting this error when I log on... 'User's $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored...' And xgl quit working.
[05:39] <xtknight> i use a floppy to boot up grub...
[05:39] <wheels3572> what's the command to tell me what version of Ubuntu im running?
[05:39] <xtknight> it's the only way i can get xp/vista/linux tri-boot without going thru tons of trouble
[05:39] <bruenig> Natoraf, hmmm, there is ipod linux, if you were looking to put ubuntu on it, you are probably out of luck, you would have to cut it up so much that it would really cease to be ubuntu
[05:39] <xtknight> wheels3572: lsb_release
[05:39] <xtknight> wheels3572: sorry,  lsb_release -a    actually
[05:39] <Cholito> no luck =(
[05:39] <wheels3572> ok
[05:40] <Asc> Aggort: You might be able to.  But I don't know if it would be any better at starting Ubuntu than a copy installed on your drive
[05:40] <nikin> Cholito: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-249474.html
[05:40] <Natoraf> its from gigabeat
[05:40] <Natoraf> made by toshiba
[05:40] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: what about blanking?
[05:40] <Aggort> Asc: Why though, if I would be booting from the hard drive?\
[05:40] <wheels3572> xtknight, tyvm
[05:40] <xtknight> wheels3572: no problem
[05:40] <fleischwurst> where can i find the internet explorer in ubuntu?
[05:40] <Aggort> Asc: and wouldn't a USB be awfully small for Windows
[05:40] <Aggort> ?
[05:40] <xtknight> fleischwurst: there is no internet explorer for the Linux operating system
[05:40] <Ice_Wewe> fleischwurst: ummm, in Microsoft land?
[05:41] <fleischwurst> ?
[05:41] <Natoraf> use firefox
[05:41] <wheels3572> fleischwurst, you wont find it.  It uses Firefox
[05:41] <multimusen> fleischwurst >> you cant. But perhaps by wine
[05:41] <fleischwurst> lol? no internet explorer?
[05:41] <nikin> Natroaf: then no idea.. sorry :(
[05:41] <fleischwurst> o0
[05:41] <Ice_Wewe> fleischwurst: yeah, no kidding
[05:41] <xtknight> fleischwurst: you would have to run it under a virtual machine or emulator.  if you want a `web browser` (wink wink), then use Firefox
[05:41] <fleischwurst> internet without internet explorer?
[05:41] <Ice_Wewe> fleischwurst: linux doesn't have MSFT cr*p in it
[05:41] <fleischwurst> haha
[05:41] <fleischwurst> only icq??
[05:41] <nvez> fleischwurst: If you mean the Microsoft Internet Explorer, no, but an internet browser, it has one.
[05:41] <nvez> It's called Firefox.
[05:41] <fleischwurst> lol, just joking :p
[05:41] <deoryp> Asc xmms was not set on the right driver, thanks
[05:41] <Ice_Wewe> fleischwurst: man.... that was a riot
[05:41] <xtknight> hehe
[05:41] <Asc> Aggort: Trying to think.  A floppy is worth a try, but I don't know how to make one that will load windows automagically.
[05:42] <xtknight> well i could see how it would be a question
[05:42] <xtknight> ;P
[05:42] <fleischwurst> mass highlight :D
[05:42] <nvez> fleischwurst: Boo. :P
[05:42] <xtknight> but if u managed to install ubuntu...
[05:42] <Aggort> Asc: Why though, if I would be booting from the hard drive?\
[05:42] <Natoraf> i read there a way to install ubuntu on a flash drive but never on mp3 player
[05:42] <Natoraf> hey i have 40 GB on it
[05:42] <threeonefour> i have downloaded updates for certian packages but now it's saying i have to do them agian whats up
[05:42] <Aggort> Asc: I don;t want it to boot Windows automatically I want to select which one to load
[05:42] <Cholito> nikin: holy cow!!
[05:42] <Asc> Aggort: We don't know what's broken exactly.  It might be the partition table, it might be the MBR.
[05:42] <variant> Natoraf: it's just another storage medium.. you can use it as the root disk if your bios supports booting from usb
[05:42] <multimusen> How cant I install ubuntu on a amd64 dualcore pc (Athlon, 1 gb ram, MSI motherboard)
[05:42] <nikin> NAtroaf: if yopur mp3 player acts like a pendrive.. the it must be the same stuff
[05:43] <wheels3572> xtknight what's the command I would use to find a program im looking for if I dont know the exact spelling of it?
[05:43] <nikin> Cholito :D:D:D:D
[05:43] <zammit> hi, I have no sound anymore, it just decided to stop working, does anybody have any thoughts, please?
[05:43] <xtknight> wheels3572: find one that is installed?  hm like what?
[05:43] <wheels3572> xtknight, to be exact to answer your question im looking for vmware
[05:43] <Aggort> Asc: I still think it is the MBR since it wants me to boot from CD so badly.
[05:43] <wheels3572> xtknight, read this url please http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/609/
[05:43] <multimusen> i have used ubuntu for two years now - but it wont run on my new pc
[05:44] <nolimitsoya> what is the most efficient floss h.264 decoder at present?
[05:44] <xtknight> wheels3572: well it looks like you found vmware but are having trouble starting it?
[05:44] <Asc> Aggort: You can use the grub-floppy command to make a floppy with GRUB on it.  After that, I've only ever started by entering the commands manually (.e.g. 'root (hd0,0); kernel /boot/whatever'), but once you set the root you should be able to load a config file on the root drive.
[05:44] <xtknight> wheels3572: what command led you to that error message?
[05:44] <wheels3572> xtknight, I went to install vmware workstation on my pc
[05:44] <imbecile> there something else i need to install to get universe repo working?
[05:44] <Aggort> Asc: I wish I knew how in that case
[05:44] <Asc> Aggort: It might also be possible to install your current grub configuration on a floppy, or put the config file on the floppy, but I don't know how.
[05:45] <xtknight> just copy the first 440 bytes of a hard disk to a floppy
[05:45] <xtknight> that's what i did
[05:45] <xtknight> to copy my boot loader before i installed vista
[05:45] <Aggort> Asc: Damn\
[05:45] <xtknight> wheels3572: and how are you attempting to do that?
[05:45] <xtknight> wheels3572: what led you to the error message you pasted me?
[05:45] <Asc> Aggort: I've only ever used GRUB floppies as a kludge to boot DSL a few times.,
[05:45] <Natoraf> yeah bios support it but i am afraid I will lose comparability to listen to mp3 player \
[05:46] <Cholito> nikin: dpkg: serious warning: files list file for package `cdrecord' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed.
[05:46] <nikin> Cholito: cant you reintsall cdrecord now?
[05:46] <wheels3572> xtknight, I was following isntructions from the vmware PDF file and extracted that file file and then I did ./vmware-install.pl
[05:46] <Aggort> Asc: Even if I got into grub to select an OS I wouldn't know how
[05:46] <Cholito> and: failed in buffer_read(fd): files list for package `libecore1-dbus': Invalid argument
[05:46] <Cholito> nikin: no
[05:46] <xtknight> wheels3572: ahh okay.
[05:46] <xtknight> wheels3572: well, do you have vmware installed already?  like vmware player or vmware server?
[05:46] <Asc> Aggort: You'd use the same sequence of commands that's in /boot/grub/*lst
[05:47] <wheels3572> xtknight, that's my problem I dont think I do.  I need to find a command that might tell me if it's installed lol.
[05:47] <Asc> Aggort: Well, in that file on a system where you're booting from the drive anyway.
[05:47] <Cholito> crap!!!!!
[05:47] <multimusen> SUsE works fine for me - but I prefer Ubuntu - so which ISO should I use for an Athlon AMD64 dualcore with a MSI-V motherboard?
[05:47] <xtknight> wheels3572: type 'aptitude search vmware'  this will tell you about all packages named vmware.  and on the left, and i means that it is currently installed.  if it's anything but an 'i' then it is NOT installed
[05:48] <Jazon> how can i install macromedia flash player on powerpc with edgy?
[05:48] <Aggort> Asc: I've never quite dealt with that before
[05:48] <nikin> Cholito: so everything is the same.. just the message changed?
[05:48] <Cholito> kind of, wait
[05:48] <imbecile> is there something else i need to install to get universe repo working?
[05:48] <jrib> Jazon: you can't
[05:48] <Aggort> Asc: I'm definitely a noob to linux though I sued it in high school a year ago. But of course we had two ahrd drives and everything worked fine lol
[05:48] <xtknight> wheels3572: you can also just use synaptic.  or check Applications->System Tools in vmware's case to check if there are any shortcuts for vmware in that menu
[05:48] <EnsignRedshirt> imbecile: What have you done so far?
[05:49] <Jazon> jrib oh oh.  so any web site for my kids that utilizes it is a no go then?
[05:49] <xtknight> imbecile: 'sudo apt-get update'   after you have added universe
[05:49] <Cholito> nikin: http://pastebin.cholito.org/pastebin.php?show=38
[05:49] <variant> Jazon: under a virtual machine
[05:49] <Asc> Aggort: You're looking at what might be an impossibly steep learning curve if you want to try and get this working.  I'm not dead certain I'd be able to.
[05:49] <variant> Jazon: try gnash, free flash player
[05:49] <Jazon> variant: what do you mean (sorry)
[05:49] <xtknight> Aggort,Asc what are you guys trying to do? ;)
[05:49] <Aggort> Asc: lovely
[05:49] <wheels3572> xtknight, ok it shows vmplayer
[05:49] <variant> Jazon: nevermind the vm. gnash is best for you.. dunno what state its in though
[05:50] <xtknight> wheels3572: well did you do vmware-install?  after vmware-install you do ' sudo vmware-config.pl '
[05:50] <Aggort> What about Asc?
[05:50] <Aggort> Asc: lol copied and apasted wrong thing
[05:50] <Asc> xtknight: Trying to boot a drive that can't boot from its' own MBR
[05:50] <Aggort> Asc: What about GAG
[05:50] <multimusen> well - it seems that noone knows what to do here ... if ubuntu cannot run on a an Athlon AMD64 dualcore with a MSI-V motherboard - then I have to use another distribution :(
[05:50] <Asc> GAG?
[05:50] <Aggort> xtkinght: I can't get Grub to load I get error 17
[05:51] <wheels3572> I dont know.  I dont recall having that lol but I must have.  What I wanan do now is just remove it period anyway
[05:51] <zebsc> i hate to ask if a lot of others already have, but are there problems with the apt respository going incredibly slow?
[05:51] <imbecile> EnsignRedshirt, xtknight  I am trying to add them in software properties and everytime i check the boxes and close the box they are unchecked
[05:51] <xtknight> Aggort: tried wiping the first 512 bytes of your disk (and backing up all data of course)
[05:51] <Aggort> ?
[05:51] <Aggort> why
[05:51] <heapme> i'm making a separate ext3 partition called 'backups' before i install linux. will the ubuntu installer auto detect it and let me tell it where to mount it (e.g., /home/backups) or do i have to mount it after linux is installed?
[05:51] <xtknight> Aggort:  clears out mbr, might solve some issue
[05:51] <nikin> Cholito: what if you clear your cashe to let the cdrecord file come frome the repo, not your HD?
[05:51] <xtknight> Aggort: but it also wipes your partition table so you will lose data
[05:51] <nikin> cache*
[05:52] <Aggort> xtkinght: I installed from a completely blank ahrd drive
[05:52] <multimusen> even live cd wont run on an Athlon AMD64 dualcore with a MSI-V motherboard
[05:52] <xtknight> Aggort: first 440 bytes is the boot-loading part of it, so just wiping that and reinstalling grub may fix an error
[05:52] <jrib> imbecile: you have duplicate entries, like the error says
[05:52] <EnsignRedshirt> multimusen: You could also try asking in ubuntuforums.org.  There is a section there for 64 bit.
[05:52] <Aggort> I deleted all my partitiions and everything wiped it out and then installed Windows and after that Ubuntu
[05:52] <xtknight> Aggort: this is on a PC right?
[05:52] <imbecile> jrib,  how do i fix that?
[05:52] <multimusen> EnsignRedshirt >> thanx
[05:52] <Aggort> I have a weird error with Wodnows that doesn't allow me to boot unless the isntall CD is in.
[05:52] <jrib> imbecile: remove the duplicate entries
[05:52] <Aggort> xtknight yes
[05:52] <xtknight> deleting all your partitions does not wipe your boot sector
[05:53] <Aggort> It should have
[05:53] <xtknight> nope
[05:53] <xtknight> never should ;)
[05:53] <variant> Aggort: does ubuntu load and you are having trouble booting windows or what?
[05:53] <Aggort> good god
[05:53] <xtknight> just changes the partition table
[05:53] <Cholito> nikin: same, no luck =(
[05:53] <xtknight> the first 440 bytes (boot code) are not touched
[05:53] <multimusen> EnsignRedshirt >> and I will go there... good idea
[05:53] <Aggort> No Grub won;t laod so icanl;t axccess any of the OS's on my hard drive
[05:53] <xtknight> Aggort: so is there any data on the drive now besides OSes?  would you like to start clean?
[05:53] <variant> Aggort: what is displayed as the last thing on your screen when booting?
[05:54] <Aggort> xtkinght: I am not starting clean I already did that once and I don;t feel like going through another XP install today
[05:54] <Aggort> variant
[05:54] <Aggort> variant: http://img489.imageshack.us/img489/3706/img2993sd3.jpg this
[05:54] <jrib> imbecile: they may reside in /etc/apt/sources.list and/or /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[05:54] <leros> I'm installing java and the license agreement popped up, how do I select "OK"?
[05:54] <xtknight> Aggort: i understand but it may be the only solution.  we can try just wiping your boot sector and leaving your partition table in place.
[05:55] <jrib> leros: arrow keys and enter iirc
[05:55] <variant> Aggort: I thought you got "error 17"
[05:55] <Aggort> variant: yes
[05:55] <Aggort> http://img489.imageshack.us/img489/2420/img2999vb2.jpg
[05:55] <Aggort> there
[05:55] <variant> Aggort: where does it say error 17 then?
[05:55] <Aggort> http://img489.imageshack.us/img489/2420/img2999vb2.jpg
[05:55] <imbecile> jrib,  should i just delete both files?
[05:56] <imbecile> jrib,  im not sure which ones to remove
[05:56] <jrib> imbecile: maybe, depends on what is in them
[05:56] <variant> Aggort: are you booting from a live cd? or did you let it boot from hd?
[05:56] <Aggort> xtknight: wouldn;t delteing my boot secotr ruin my NTFS partition?
[05:56] <xtknight> would have to be a HD, livecd doesnt haev grub
[05:56] <leros> jrib: i've arrowed down to the bottom, but enter does nothing
[05:56] <jrib> leros: space bar?
[05:56] <Aggort> variant: I am on Ubuntu Live
[05:56] <xtknight> Aggort: not if you don't touch the partition table
[05:56] <variant> Aggort: what i mean is, when you get "error 17" it's because you tried to boot the hard disk right?
[05:57] <Cholito> nikin: look at this! http://pastebin.cholito.org/pastebin.php?show=39
[05:57] <zebsc> are the apt repositories having speed problems today?
[05:57] <Aggort> xtknight: then i;d be willing to try it as long as It doenslt ruin anything
[05:57] <Aggort> variant: yes
[05:57] <nikin> Cholito : and you look at this...
[05:57] <Aggort> but
[05:57] <leros> jrib: i've tried that too. the escape key takes me out of it, but it pops up again
[05:57] <variant> Aggort: it should be just a matter of reinstalling grub
[05:57] <xtknight> Aggort: regardless, is there any data that you absolutely cannot have wiped from the ntfs partition?  Any stuff that you need to backup?  Or is it just Windows?  the operation isnt completely reliable.  but it's about as reliable as it can be
[05:57] <jrib> leros: strange
[05:57] <Sir_Penguin> Hi :) I was wondering if someone would be able to help with changing my runlevel so that I can install my drivers, it doens't like the X system being open and I'm not sure how to quit it, even when I'm in Runlevel 2 it still says X is open (I got there by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1)

[05:58] <jrib> Sir_Penguin: what card?
[05:58] <xtknight> Aggort: ok.  i know you dont want to install windows again.  99% chance says you wont have to reinstall it
[05:58] <leros> jrib: yah, i'm totally stuck on this stupid license agreement page
[05:58] <Sir_Penguin> NVidia 7900GT
[05:58] <Aggort> varaint: it;s odd, because I can;t boot from hard drive. My OPC has ahd the error for some time where it requires my Windows install CD to be in, but it doesn't boot to the CD isnteead it would boot windows as long as I didn't press ANY key
[05:58] <xtknight> Aggort: want to start?

[05:59] <xtknight> we're going to wipe his boot sector first
[05:59] <xtknight> (first 440 bytes excluding partition table)
[05:59] <variant> xtknight: why? thats what installing grub to it will do
[05:59] <Aggort> variant: mkdir: cannot create directory `/boot/grub': Permission denied
[05:59] <xtknight> just to be sure everything is out of there
[05:59] <variant> Aggort: do it as root
[05:59] <Aggort> xt ok
[05:59] <Aggort> xt: star iover sorry
[05:59] <xtknight> Aggort: i thought you already tried to reinstall grub?
[06:00] <xtknight> Aggort: or have you not tried that?
[06:00] <variant> xtknight: reinstalling grub will do that
[06:00] <imbecile> how do i delete my /etc/apt/sources directory?
[06:00] <Aggort> xtknight: I think that is what ikonia made me  do
[06:00] <jrib> imbecile: don't do that
[06:00] <xtknight> well we'll try it
[06:00] <variant> imbecile: you dont have one
[06:00] <Aggort> ok
[06:00] <Aggort> give me the code to type it in then
[06:00] <nikin> Cholito: nice questionmarks :S
[06:00] <xtknight> just reinstall gurb, if that doesnt work then we'll wipe the boot sector AND reinstall
[06:00] <imbecile> jrib,  what all do i remove then?
[06:00] <xtknight> first lets just try reinstalling grub
[06:00] <jrib> imbecile: pastebin the files you found
[06:01] <Aggort> ok walk me thorugh reisntalling grub
[06:01] <variant> Aggort: mount your /boot partition first

[06:09] <variant> Aggort: and let me see
[06:09] <wheels3572> xtknight, Can I shoot vmware-player now or later.  I removed it and all the files that go with it and rebooted X and it's STILL says it's in Linux.
[06:09] <ootinyoo> Ok thanks.  I did try that and got an error message.  Let me write it down and I will be back.
[06:09] <riotkittie> pop it in your drive, reboot... .
[06:09] <riotkittie> make sure BIOS is set to boot from the DVD drive
[06:09] <xtknight> wheels3572: well what just happens if you run ' sudo vmware-config '   right now??
[06:09] <Aggort> varaint how do I access that?
[06:09] <wheels3572> let me see
[06:09] <Aggort> said there was no such file
[06:09] <riotkittie> or hit the F key to enable a boot menu if one's shown
[06:09] <xtknight> wheels3572: it may need to be ' sudo vmware-config.pl '
[06:10] <Jazon> hmmmm cant seem to figure out how to install gnash.... any pointers for me variant?
[06:10] <ootinyoo> ok thanks. Let me try.
[06:10] <variant> Aggort: try instead /mnt/boot/boot/menu.lst
[06:10] <xtknight> Aggort: he means /mnt/boot/boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:10] <Cholito> nikin: searching
[06:10] <xtknight> two boots actually since it was mounted at /mnt/boot and there's another boot subdir

[06:10] <wheels3572> xtknight, command not found
[06:10] <xtknight> wheels3572: try the one with .pl?
[06:10] <wheels3572> ooops
[06:10] <riotkittie> ooh. vmware. that brings me to my first stupid question.
[06:10] <wheels3572> let me check the 2nd option
[06:11] <Cholito> nikin: there is no list file for that package
[06:11] <variant> Aggort: you need to use a viewer or editor
[06:11] <nikin> Cholito: let me see on my system
[06:11] <variant> Aggort: for example: less /mnt/boot/boot/menu.lst
[06:11] <wheels3572> xtknight, command not found.  Cuz it never got to installing it
[06:11] <xtknight> wheels3572: oh boy
[06:11] <glyn> Hi, how do I get a cam working on Ubuntu Linux and what programs can I use it with?
[06:11] <xtknight> wheels3572: type ls -al /etc/init.d/vm*       and post it on pastebin
[06:12] <wheels3572> xtknight, everytime I goto install it it tells me another version is there.  But if I do a apt-get remove vmware-player it says nothing is there
[06:12] <wheels3572> xtknight, ok standy
[06:12] <xtknight> wheels3572: you can purge vmware-player instead of shoot it.; )  type sudo dpkg --purge vmware-player
[06:12] <Jazon> glyn: hi.  amsn is easy to use webcam with.  start with that (it's like msn messenger)
[06:12] <xtknight> wheels3572: that just removes residual config files
[06:12] <xtknight> wheels3572: but also do the ls  -al thing
[06:13] <glyn> Jazon:  can windows users use that?
[06:13] <Aggort> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/619/    Line 20 is where it starts the rest was previous

[06:14] <riotkittie> i know the guest os can only used hardware thats recognized and functioning in ubuntu ... but is it possible to build upon that functionality? like... if i have a digicam that functions as a pc cam as well  but only works as a digital cam in ubuntu, could i install the driver in a VMed window and get that working?
[06:14] <Aggort> brb
[06:14] <wheels3572> xtknight, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/621/
[06:14] <riotkittie> lemme guess, a big fat resounding no :P
[06:14] <HossBud> I've got a problem and I'm not having a lot of luck understanding what I've read on the internet.
[06:14] <nikin> Cholito: i dont even find that package on apt.... i have all repos enabled
[06:14] <glyn> Jazon:  Where can I get amsn?
[06:14] <Jazon> riotkittie: try it and then tell us
[06:15] <xtknight> riotkittie: depends.  does the virtual machine software support the usb 2.0?
[06:15] <riotkittie> whats your problem, Hoss? i probably cant help it
[06:15] <HossBud> I've installed a firewire hard drive
[06:15] <xtknight> riotkittie: assuming that's the interface for your cam
[06:15] <Jazon> glyn: from the internet.  ;-)  google amsn ubuntu
[06:15] <HossBud> and I used Gparted to create a new partition and file system on it
[06:15] <variant> riotkittie: haha
[06:15] <xtknight> wheels3572: did you do purge?
[06:15] <wheels3572> nope
[06:15] <riotkittie> Jazon > i'm tempted to. but.  i only have so much space on my ubuntu partition
[06:15] <Cholito> nikin: I think that's from e17
[06:15] <wheels3572> I just did the command you said FIRST :)
[06:15] <xtknight> wheels3572: do it ;p

[06:16] <jontec> Hey, is there anyway that I can use the fact that my Lexmark printer is connected to a windows computer to my advantage? Any thoughts?
[06:16] <HossBud> but when I try to save or read a file on it, it tells me I dont have permission
[06:16] <riotkittie> and im probably too stupid to get it going on my zenwalk partition =\
[06:16] <variant> no0tic: yes
[06:16] <nikin> Cholito: hmm i dont have e17
[06:16] <HossBud> and when I get the info on it, it says it belongs to root
[06:16] <riotkittie> i dont have an external.
[06:16] <Jazon> wow, ubuntu totally made this old imac come alive :D
[06:16] <no0tic> variant, on my friend's laptop it doesn't out of the box
[06:16] <Aggort2> I still think the problem lies within the fact that this thing doesn't boot without a CD  in it
[06:17] <Cholito> nikin: I think I'll just reinstall and keep on with my life xD
[06:17] <variant> no0tic: check the alsa card matrix for any issues
[06:17] <HossBud> so I dont understand how to take ownership of the drive
[06:17] <Balsamic_Chicken> what's the hello program from google
[06:17] <Jazon> riotkittie: heh - my iPod has 30Gb.... lol
[06:17] <no0tic> variant, in the mixer there isn't a Master toggle
[06:17] <xtknight> Aggort2: are you even telling it to boot off the HD?

[06:17] <wheels3572> xtknight, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/622/

[06:17] <Jazon> glyn: depends on the camera, and how old ubuntu you mean
[06:17] <Aggort2> it jsut hangs there for a long time then goes to CD
[06:17] <nikin> Cholito: yep.. maybe that would be the only solution... but one Q remains... why did that hapen?
[06:17] <xtknight> wheels3572: well we will have to destroy the rest of vmware, messy if you dont mind
[06:17] <no0tic> variant, thanks

[06:18] <HossBud> it seems like it should be simple, but I cant figure it out
[06:18] <riotkittie> i am going to get a larger drive at some point. 12gb and no burner is bad enough with one os, and im "using" three
[06:19] <Aggort2> variant: It's doing it now I am on my laptop
[06:19] <Balsamic_Chicken> harrisony yes
[06:19] <Cholito> nikin: I was thinking about the 64bits ubuntu, but I think I'll pass on it =/
[06:19] <variant> Aggort2: ok, tell me how it goes
[06:19] <no0tic> variant, it's surely an Intel based card? or can it be any other compatible chipset?

[06:20] <variant> Aggort2: odd, did grub load up this time though?
[06:20] <riotkittie> what filesystem?  what's the line about the partition in your fstab say?
[06:20] <Cholito> let's wait a little bit
[06:20] <HossBud> anyone?  :)
[06:20] <Aggort2> variant: with the CD in, it's at GRUB Loading, please wait ...

[06:25] <talisein> Aggort2: So your problem is you can't boot Windows unless you use a windows boot cd?
[06:25] <glyn> the newer ubuntus don't run on my computer
[06:25] <Aggort2> a Windows install CD

[06:26] <wheels3572> xtknight, I tried  a few variations lol to no avai
[06:26] <talisein> Aggort2: does your /boot/grub/menu.lst entry for windows include "rootnoverify" at the end?
[06:26] <xtknight> wheels3572: are you as sick of /etc/vmware as i am?
[06:26] <Aggort2> Ask variant
[06:26] <xtknight> wheels3572: sudo rm -rf /etc/vmware
[06:26] <wheels3572> xtknight, im more then sick of it lol
[06:26] <xtknight> wheels3572: but make sure its /etc/vmware... rm -rf anything else   and you will regret it
[06:26] <HossBud> riotkittie: it doesn't look like its listed in there
[06:26] <Aggort2> talisein this happens without anything Linux even being installed
[06:27] <Aggort2> It doesn't even boot directly to the CD IT JSUT BOOTS WINDOWS AS NORMAL
[06:27] <talisein> Aggort2: oh, so there's no grub installed?
[06:27] <Aggort2> I have never seen anything like it
[06:27] <xtknight> wheels3572: and type this command separately:  sudo rm -rf /etc/init.d/vmware*
[06:27] <wheels3572> xtknight, done :) just /etc/vmware
[06:27] <xtknight> wheels3572: remember, dont do rm -rf on anything else
[06:27] <Aggort2> talisein right now there is, but evne when there wasn't it'd do this
[06:27] <tritium> wheels3572: you didn't install the ubuntu package of vmware-player?
[06:27] <Rookie-1> !Ati
[06:27] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:27] <xtknight> tritium: we are wiping all remnants of vmware player/server from the repos and installing Workstation
[06:27] <Aggort2> now that grub is installed it won't start to load anything, including GRUB unless that CD is in there
[06:28] <talisein> Aggort2: what company did you buy this computer from?

[06:28] <tritium> xtknight: why didn't you --purge?
[06:28] <balarka> hi
[06:28] <wheels3572> xtknight, no idea what I did honestly
[06:28] <riotkittie> what file system is it?
[06:28] <professor> How do I get wireless to work on my laptop, its a broadcom, I have looked everywhere
[06:28] <professor> cant find the inf file anywhere
[06:28] <xtknight> tritium: did, but he tried to install workstation so it didnt remove some directories when it purged
[06:28] <wheels3572> xtknight, so far no error msgs lol
[06:28] <xtknight> wheels3572: thats fine
[06:28] <xtknight> wheels3572: it should not have returned anything to my knowledge
[06:28] <wheels3572> lets see if it installs now lol
[06:28] <imbecile> how do i make new sources list? i have this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/623/
[06:28] <xtknight> wheels3572: wait
[06:29] <xtknight> wheels3572: 'sudo updatedb'   did you do that?
[06:29] <riotkittie> ewww. i hate recovery cds.  <cringe>
[06:29] <talisein> Aggort2: hrm. dunno. you might try to fiddle int eh bios to disable whatever system restore stuff they have
[06:29] <tritium> xtknight: hmm, okay.  Just wanted to make sure you were aware of the --purge option ;)
[06:29] <Aggort2> talisein tried that
[06:29] <Aggort2> no avail
[06:29] <HossBud> riotkittie: the whole drive is ext3...according to Gparted
[06:29] <wheels3572> doing the sudo updatedb now
[06:29] <xtknight> tritium: yeah sometimes its fun just to rm -r everything you know
[06:29] <wheels3572> xtknight, right it returned right back to cli prompt
[06:29] <xtknight> well not `everything`
[06:30] <xtknight> wheels3572: ok.  now type 'locate vmware'
[06:30] <tritium> definitely not everything
[06:30] <xtknight> wheels3572: if it returns anything, there's still varmints
[06:30] <tony_> I'm having some problems with beryl... when I start the Beryl manager, it says "Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: murrine"

[06:30] <tony_> anybody else had that before?
[06:30] <wheels3572> ok
[06:30] <talisein> Aggort2: ditch windows and reformat everything? ;)
[06:30] <xtknight> tony_: #beryl  may be of further help
[06:30] <Aggort2> talisein: Did that sane thing happened
[06:31] <xtknight> tony_: but actually it's not finding a GTK theme engine...  .so file i think
[06:31] <tony_> ok how do I fix it?
[06:31] <Aggort2> If it wasn't for gaming I;d ditch Windows altoether, even then grub wouldn't load to load ubuntu
[06:31] <riotkittie> ah. im completely clueless here. hold on. let me try to mount my other linux partition and see what happens
[06:31] <wheels3572> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/625/

[06:59] <CocoLePew> But it is still be crap lol
[06:59] <bob_bcit> i am new
[06:59] <Feldegast> bob_bcit sure, which file did you download?
[06:59] <oavicena> it is very similar to gdesklets but the icons move aroung the desktop and bump
[06:59] <bob_bcit> the ,deb
[06:59] <glyn> I'm not sure what version of intel it is but I don't think it's supported for Linux
[06:59] <bob_bcit> .deb
[06:59] <Feldegast> grab the tarball
[07:00] <CocoLePew> yes
[07:00] <bob_bcit> the tarball??
[07:00] <Feldegast> i'll get the link
[07:00] <CocoLePew> .tar or .bz or bz2 or gz
[07:00] <CocoLePew> file
[07:00] <n2diy> bob_bcit: can you find it in synaptic, that will handle any dependices.
[07:01] <bob_bcit> n2diy: what would i look for in synaptec
[07:01] <nextse7en> Can anyone help me, I'm fairly new to linux, I need to modify my xserver .conf file from the command line, can anyone recommend a good editor that isn't complicated to do the with? Or is there a way to restore my default .conf file?
[07:01] <n2diy> bob_bcit: scyphe?
[07:01] <oavicena> nano is quite easy
[07:01] <n2diy> bob_bcit: or however it is spelled? :)
[07:01] <bob_bcit> i looked
[07:01] <CocoLePew> your are on the console?
[07:01] <oavicena> and you can see the commands when editing
[07:01] <bob_bcit> yes
[07:01] <nextse7en> not now, I'm on the windows part.
[07:02] <oavicena> at the bottom
[07:02] <nextse7en> I'm looking for somthing as easy as edit in dos.
[07:02] <oavicena> nano is very easy
[07:02] <nextse7en> vi just confuses the crap outta me.
[07:02] <tritium> nextse7en: try nano, as oavicena suggests
[07:02] <TGPO> nextse7en, nano is even easier
[07:02] <Feldegast> nextse7en i use mc :)
[07:02] <n2diy> nextse7en: nano
[07:02] <oavicena> do not use vi
[07:02] <CocoLePew> joe is another editor, i prefer it than vi
[07:02] <glyn> are there any programs that will just detect your USB cam?
[07:03] <nextse7en> Got it, I'll be back if I can get my xsever running.
[07:03] <Intertricity> I can't believe there's 878 users in one channel c_c
[07:03] <n2diy> nextse7en: nano will run from a terminal.
[07:03] <nextse7en> wish me luck
[07:03] <nextse7en> ty all for the suggestion.
[07:03] <Intertricity> good luck
[07:03] <Feldegast> glyn you need the driver for the cam, that requires kernel support iirc
[07:03] <oavicena> you won't need it
[07:03] <ernz> Hi all, I am having an issue with DVD::Rip, all of the sound from a movie I am backing up is a couple of seconds behind. I am using the latest version of DVD::Rip, can anyone shed some light on the problem please?
[07:03] <strinh> how does one turn off gnome?  gnome doesn't like to work with the amount of video memory that this computer has.
[07:03] <n2diy> nextse7en: gl
[07:04] <strinh> turn off gnome for good... /etc/init.d/gdm stop doesn't do the trick.
[07:04] <glyn> doesn't look like I'll be able to get that, I don't have the install CD and don't know what camera it is
[07:04] <glyn> on windows it would just detect it
[07:04] <Intertricity> I'm giving my ubuntu install a rest for the night, I"ve been fiddling with that infernal broadcom driver
[07:04] <yakumo> can i convert cd image isi into dvd image iso
[07:04] <yakumo> can i convert cd image iso into dvd image iso
[07:05] <Feldegast> glyn prolly cos windows has the driver, in windows you should be able to find out what the camera is and google for it
[07:05] <glyn> I've tried Fedora, WIndows, other ubuntu version, but nothing except Hoary will run on my computer

[07:08] <oavicena> i'd want to know it too
[07:09] <ernz> yakumo: Just extract all the files to a new DIR
[07:09] <yakumo> when i try to run k3b on my terminal: k3b: error while loading shared libraries: libkparts.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

hot to? :)
[07:11] <ootinyoo> There is no cable...this is a laptop. No I didn't check that.
how to? :)
[07:11] <lukillas> people, is there any program like macromedia dreamweaver, to design webpages under linux? i'm using ubuntu 6.10
how do i extract iso file??
[07:12] <lukillas> i downloaded bluefish but it is a html editor
[07:12] <n2diy> lukillas: mozilla composer?
[07:12] <ernz> yakumo: Is this a bootable disk you are trying to make?
[07:12] <yakumo> yup
[07:12] <lukillas> n2diy: mozilla composer? thanks, i'll try
[07:12] <ootinyoo> tritium...I was hoping it would be ok.  :/
yup
[07:12] <mvfeinstein> Can anyone here recommend some update servers faster then the default for 6.10?
[07:13] <ernz> yakumo: Hmmm, this could be tricky. Lemme read a little more into it and I'll get back to you in a sec.
[07:13] <Johnny_> hullo?
[07:13] <n2diy> ! servers
[07:13] <ootinyoo> ok I will check it.  What about booting from a flash drive?
[07:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about servers - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:13] <Intertricity> !servers
[07:13] <Feldegast> mvfeinstein a mirror in your area?
[07:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about servers - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:13] <oavicena> lukillas: you can try nvu
[07:13] <glyn> okay, I was able to find the drivers and I installed it with wine for the pc camera, what do I do now?
[07:13] <joserafael> you can use dreamweaver under linux
[07:13] <n2diy> ! repos
[07:13] <lukillas> and another question ... can i connect my motorola phone in data/fax mode, with p2k drivers unde ubuntu?
[07:13] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[07:13] <Johnny_> i got myself a little problem, hoping u guys could sort out
[07:13] <CocoLePew> brb
ok thnks
[07:13] <Johnny_> just got a 300gig hdd
[07:13] <oavicena> it has a site management tool as the one in dreamweaver
[07:13] <joserafael> nvu sucks
[07:13] <Johnny_> have a master with windoze xp
[07:13] <lukillas> thanks oavicena, i'll try nvu too
[07:14] <lukillas> i'm a beginner :)
[07:14] <Johnny_> installed ubuntu
[07:14] <oavicena> well, it's not bad
[07:14] <mvfeinstein> Feldegast, I just want something faster when I do updates or install software my xfer rate is 10KB or less if I download something from the web I get about 400KB
[07:14] <joserafael> you can use dreamweaver with wine
[07:14] <Johnny_> then i get grub error 18
[07:14] <n2diy> ! enter | Johnny_
[07:14] <ubotu> Johnny_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[07:14] <Johnny_> sry
[07:14] <oavicena> does it work? dreamweaver with wine?
[07:14] <joserafael> yes
[07:15] <joserafael> you can look for on google
[07:15] <Feldegast> mvfeinstein in synaptic i have set it to use my local mirrors rather than the default main servers....
[07:15] <n2diy> Johnny_: google for grub 18.
[07:15] <oavicena> is it hard to set up?
[07:15] <joserafael> not really
[07:15] <oavicena> even for a new?
[07:15] <glyn> I need help using a USB cam for Ubuntu
[07:15] <glyn> I already installed the drivers
[07:15] <glyn> what now?
[07:15] <joserafael> yes, you can do it
[07:15] <Feldegast> glyn what model is it?
[07:16] <ernz> yakumo: I may have a solution but it's gonna need a little work, I'll talk you through it if you are willing?
[07:16] <glyn> intel easy pc camera
[07:16] <Johnny_> getting grub error 18 being too big hdd, been reading and apparently the quick fix without flashing my bios is to put the /boot partition at the beggining of the drive.
[07:16] <Feldegast> glyn i have no idea sorry
sure
[07:16] <lukillas> dreamweaver with wine? thanks ... so, i've got two options, wine-dreamweaver and nvu
[07:16] <lukillas> thanks so much
[07:16] <lukillas> oavicena and joserafael
[07:16] <varsendaggr> anyone play foobilliards and wanna play a network game?
[07:16] <glyn> when I go to system and devices it sees it
[07:16] <ernz> yakumo: OK, are you familiar with terminal commands?
[07:16] <glyn> I just don't know how to actually use it
[07:16] <Johnny_> just need a little run through with manual partitioning with gparted if anyone can spare the time
[07:16] <oavicena> de nada
[07:16] <Feldegast> Johnny_ i always put /boot at the beginning
[07:16] <varsendaggr> lukillas, nvu is pretty good
basic commands
[07:17] <mvfeinstein> Feldegast What do you mean by local mirrors? Does Ubuntu have something like apt-spy?
[07:17] <varsendaggr> couple that with inkscape gimp and blender and you can do anything
[07:17] <lukillas> anyway i can use openoffice writer and save as html :D
[07:17] <lukillas> :P
[07:17] <ernz> yakumo: Cool, please go here: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_mount.2Funmount_Image_.28ISO.29_files_without_burning >> and mount the ISO.
[07:17] <varsendaggr> lukillas, true
[07:17] <yakumo> ok
[07:17] <protocol1> is there a reason the installer halts when I try to load it?
[07:17] <ernz> yakumo: That page shows instructions. Only 3 lines, not too bad.
[07:18] <protocol1> is there a command I can use to bypass certain things to make it work?
[07:18] <yakumo> yup
[07:18] <ernz> yakumo: Mounted alright?
[07:18] <n2diy> protocol1: yes, and yes, follow the instructions at the boot prompt.
[07:18] <Feldegast> mvfeinstein in synaptic you can select if u want to use the main servers or a local mirror, look on the 1st tab in synaptic settings
[07:19] <mvfeinstein> Feldegast wouldn't local mirrors be pulling data from a CD or DVD rather then the web?
[07:19] <Johnny_> with gparted, I simply need to put a small partition at the front and flag it with "boot"? what about the "main" install, where is that going to be? do I need to flag another partition?
thnks ill just get my iso file on anther computer and try to do this... :)
[07:19] <seanj> argh!! how do i connect to another Samba server running on Ubuntu Dapper?
[07:19] <protocol1> n2diy, I select install ubuntu and then it tries to load then stops
[07:20] <Feldegast> mvfeinstein in synaptic repositories, 1st tab sorry
[07:20] <protocol1> is there a boot option I can use to make it work?
[07:20] <seanj> this is bs
[07:20] <ernz> yakumo: Not needing help any more?
[07:20] <Feldegast> mvfeinstein you set it to an alternate country to use a different set of servers
[07:20] <n2diy> protocol1: and you have the option of using F2 or F3, escape, etc....
ill go back if i have question thnks
[07:21] <ernz> yakumo: Fair enough, good luck with that.
[07:21] <yakumo> ok
[07:21] <z1> hi everyone. could you recommend a cd-burning app for windows that i can use to burn an iso? (other than nero)
[07:21] <xtknight> z1: ImgBurn
[07:21] <glick> z1, nero?
[07:21] <seanj> fuck, nevermind..
[07:21] <ernz> So, anyone use DVD::Rip? I am getting duffed audio on my rips, wassup!?
[07:21] <seanj> as usual DIY
[07:21] <varsendaggr> seanj, watchit
[07:22] <seanj> watch what?
[07:22] <z1> xtknight, is that free?
[07:22] <xtknight> z1: yup
[07:22] <variant> seanj: smb://ipaddress
[07:22] <n2diy> seanj:  your cranky, is it time for bed?
[07:22] <seanj> variant: thanks, I'll try that
[07:22] <pwilson> holy crap, it worked
[07:22] <z1> xtknight, thanks much.
[07:22] <seanj> n2diy: the insults aren't helping thanks
[07:22] <pwilson> nextseven herre.
[07:22] <Crankymonky> Cranky is he eh?
[07:22] <variant> seanj: that works in konqueror.. dunno what your using
[07:22] <seanj> n2diy: do you belong in a support channel, insulting people ?
[07:22] <seanj> variant: nautilus
[07:23] <variant> seanj: dunno
[07:23] <variant> seanj: try it
[07:23] <Johnny_> So when partitioning for an ubuntu install, you need to flag two partitions : one as root and one as boot am I correct?
[07:23] <mvfeinstein> Feldegast It only has two options main and us.... Does ubuntu have mirror repos like debian?
[07:23] <seanj> i'll try it
[07:23] <n2diy> seanj:  it wasn't an insult, it was a question, sometimes it is best to sleep on things.
[07:23] <Music_Shuffle> Cranky!
[07:23] <pwilson> Anyone want to help me with a crazy nvidia driver problem?
[07:23] <seanj> "Please select another viewer and try again"
[07:23] <chris_> im having one too
[07:23] <kouran> everyone's having that problem
[07:23] <seanj> ok n2diy, I'll buy that
[07:23] <variant> Johnny_: one as / (root) one as swap and optionaly (but reccomended) one as /boot there are other options for more advanced setups too
[07:23] <seanj> this is a 3 day running problem however :/
[07:23] <seanj> I'm sorry
[07:23] <glick> POW! put that in your crack pipe and smoke it bitch!
[07:24] <seanj> yeah i got owned
[07:24] <glick> damn
[07:24] <glick> wrong channel
[07:24] <chris_> i just updated my kernel to 2.6.17-10 and i cant install the driver, something about not being able to build the module
[07:24] <seanj> lol..
[07:24] <deepsa> hey i got something interesting here. i am having intel high defination audio on my laptop and it gets detected if i disable my internal modem otherwise it doesn't gets detected. and if it gets detected then too it doesn't work no sound comes out. i have the proper alsa module loaded by the kernel snd-hda-intel.
[07:24] <n2diy> seanj:  cool, we're trying for the best here.
[07:24] <seanj> okay :)
[07:24] <pwilson> Does anyone know what gpu is actually inside a geforce go 6150
[07:24] <crimsun> deepsa: -disabled-?
[07:24] <protocol1> n2diy, Im trying different boot parameters
[07:24] <crimsun> deepsa: is it a thinkpad/lenovo?
[07:25] <kouran> refer to this forum thread for the nvidia problem http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=318206&highlight=nvidia+driver+x+server
[07:25] <deepsa> crimsun: its lenovo
[07:25] <glyn> anyone experienced with GnomeMeeting?
[07:25] <glyn> I need to know how to tell it that I Have a cam
[07:25] <n2diy> protocol1:  good luck.
[07:25] <glick> i used it once
[07:25] <crimsun> deepsa: using the latest bios?
[07:25] <glick> gnome meeting
[07:25] <deepsa> crimsun: yeah the latest
[07:25] <glick> eh
[07:25] <glick> its not fantastic
[07:25] <crimsun> deepsa: normally it's the other way around: you have to enable the modem to hear anything
[07:25] <variant> glick: it's called ekiga now
[07:25] <deepsa> crimsun: modem enabled sound works in gentoo but in ubuntu i don't know why
[07:26] <glick> yeah ekiga sucks now
[07:26] <crimsun> deepsa: are you using alsa-driver 1.0.14rc1?
[07:26] <chris_> why doesnt my nvidia driver build the kernel module? it shows the progress bar up to 100% then says it cannot build it
[07:26] <deepsa> crimsun: no my alsa is built inside the kernel and if i try to build alsa-driver it give error at something called vmalloc
[07:26] <deshantm_> !dd
[07:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:26] <untung> hi
[07:26] <riotkittie> are you getting some kind of error message beyond that
[07:26] <crimsun> deepsa: then you need to use at least 2.6.20-rc3
[07:27] <untung> I am using ubuntu 6.10
[07:27] <J0HN> hey all
[07:27] <chris_> hi
[07:27] <untung> anybody using the 6.10 version?
[07:27] <riotkittie> hi untung
[07:27] <chris_> yep
[07:27] <chris_> me
[07:27] <deepsa> crimsun: i got that and did make menuconfig it gave a whole lot of error  i was login via root to do that
[07:27] <untung> Chris: that's cool
[07:27] <J0HN> what's the terminal command to open up a program that will allow me to fix my screen resolution?
[07:27] <pwilson> how do I kill xserve so I can run the nvidia executible?
[07:27] <crimsun> deepsa: you don't need to be root to compile a kernel.
[07:27] <Crankymonky> Guys, there is this guy I met online, goes by the alias Music_Shuffle.  I think I might love him and I know he loves me back.  What should I do?
[07:27] <seanj> ok... all i need to know is how to get NFS working
[07:27] <seanj> I'd rather that than Samba anyway
[07:27] <kouran> init 3
[07:27] <Music_Shuffle> Rofl! :P
[07:27] <crimsun> Crankymonky: you might just check yourself out of #ubuntu for starter.s
[07:27] <glick> im still using dapster drake
[07:27] <deepsa> crimsun: ok but then also it fails. on some headers missing
[07:28] <untung> i am trying to install monodevelop
[07:28] <pwilson> kouran just type that into terminal/
[07:28] <J0HN> under "System/Prefrences/Screen Resolution" it won't let me select my screen res.
[07:28] <chris_> untung: i cant get the nvidia driver to install on it :(
[07:28] <pwilson> kouran just type that into terminal?
[07:28] <crimsun> deepsa: is build-essential installed?
[07:28] <n2diy> pwilson: restart, or kill so you can get to a command line?
[07:28] <kouran> yeah what did you want to know?
[07:28] <untung> hi,  i have problem in installing monodevelop in 6.10
[07:28] <glick> im really not to happy about the futures plans of ubuntu
[07:28] <deepsa> crimsun: how do i check it i mean what command?
[07:28] <di||itante> seanj: tell me mmor anout nfs
[07:28] <glick> their gonna make 3d desktop default in feisty?
[07:28] <untung> Chris: what happen?
[07:28] <glick> wtf is that all about
[07:28] <kouran> if you do init3 in terminal itll change to runlevel 3 which is command prompt
[07:28] <riotkittie> ahhh internet love. this takes me back.
[07:28] <furthur> I am currently using Gparted, Ive got Create As : Primary Partition.... so this would serve as root?
[07:28] <crimsun> deepsa: you can use syntapic to see if it's installed, or dpkg -l build-essential|grep ^ii
[07:28] <pwilson> no, I need to shut down X entirely, otherwise the nvidia executible won't run
[07:28] <glick> some of us dont have fancy schmancy graphics cards
[07:28] <crimsun> kouran: no it won't
[07:29] <seanj> di||itante: NFS is the Network File System, allowing computers to share filesystems, which can be mounted to appear as a local filesystem (local disk drive)
[07:29] <untung> chris : can you check the driver?
[07:29] <Crankymonky> crimsun, That'd be just a little joke.
[07:29] <seanj> maybe ubotu knows...
[07:29] <crimsun> kouran: we don't play runlevel games; 2-5 are identical
[07:29] <seanj> !nfs
[07:29] <ubotu> nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[07:29] <protocol1> n2diy, it stops on loading drivers?
[07:29] <glick> isnt anyone else uncomfortable about that?
[07:29] <crimsun> glick: sure
[07:29] <J0HN> does anybody know?
[07:29] <n2diy> pwilson: sudo init 1
[07:29] <kouran> yeah i just realised when i said that, my bad
[07:29] <pwilson> ty
[07:29] <deepsa> crimsun: No packages found matching build-essential
[07:29] <protocol1> Im using the 6.06 install CD
[07:29] <crimsun> glick: however, it's utterly offtopic for this channel.
[07:29] <untung> Chris: I installed the ubuntu in vmware , it runs well
[07:29] <di||itante> seanj: i know, tell me what you want to do, ill hel you
[07:29] <crimsun> deepsa: so install it
[07:29] <glick> so shouldnt we speak out that we think its crappy so they dont do it?
[07:29] <variant> pwilson: /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[07:29] <chris_> untung: it says it can't find the path to the kernel source, so i put it, which is /usr/src/________ and then it begins to build the module, after it gets to 100% it says cannot build kernel module
[07:29] <Music_Shuffle> crimsun, I know!  He just can't keep it to himself sometimes, forgive him.  Crankymonky is just affectionate like that. ;P
[07:29] <lukillas> ok, i downloaded and installed nvu, it's seems like frontpage, easy to use .. thanks to all for the help ;)
[07:30] <seanj> ahh okay di||itante ... I have a dir named /stuff on "wreck" and I want to export it so I can mount it with "rayne"
[07:30] <n2diy> protocol1:  which one?
[07:30] <crimsun> glick: this is not the proper forum for that.
[07:30] <protocol1> 6.06 install cd
[07:30] <J0HN> what's the terminal command so i can fix my screen resoultion and stuff?
[07:30] <fami_> Excuse me, but I have a stupid question. I'm trying to reinstall ndiswrapper and I'm following a guide. When I type make uninstall I get the following error: /bin/rm: cannot remove `/lib/modules/2.6.15-27-386/kernel/drivers/net/ndiswrapper': Is a directory

[07:30] <furthur> someone here knows his way around gparted?
[07:30] <protocol1> the last thing its working on is Loading hardware drivers
[07:30] <kouran> this has probably been asked a billion times, but has anyone solved the nvidia issue with xserver not starting?
 sorry, i am new too in Ubuntu
[07:30] <variant> riotkittie: mine has 512
[07:30] <adub> what is a good version of gcc to get
[07:30] <protocol1> then no action
[07:30] <n2diy> protocol1:  if you are replying to me, include my nick, so it is highlighted here.
[07:30] <adub> that will compile most packages
[07:30] <chris_> untung: its okay :)

[07:31] <variant> riotkittie: hehe
[07:31] <untung> any body can help Chris?
[07:31] <n2diy> protocol1:  which one, what is the last message you see?
[07:31] <mvfeinstein> Can anyone tell me where I can find a list of local mirrors for the 6.10 repos.... I really need something faster then the main and us servers
[07:31] <xtknight> they should just make geforce 6xxx+ and radeon X1300+ use the 3d by default, and the rest be 2d by default.
[07:31] <seanj> di||itante: okay, trying.. thanks :)
[07:31] <adub> variant sounds like a plan im just getting back into linux after about a year absence and its insane how much the ubuntu community has grown
[07:31] <protocol1> Loading hardware drivers
[07:32] <kouran> this has probably been asked a billion times, but has anyone solved the nvidia issue with xserver not starting? i've tried everything but xserver does not start.
[07:32] <xtknight> or everything 2d, and select a few device IDs to be 3d by default
[07:32] <chris_> if anyone can help it would be great
[07:32] <adub> also crazy all my hardware works on a fesh install on my laptop im blown away
[07:32] <n2diy> protocol1:  if you are replying to me, include my nick, so it is highlighted here.

[07:33] <deepsa> crimsun: is there any lists of such packages i need to install in order to compile my own kernel ?
[07:33] <untung> hi, i installed monodevelop using sypnatic package but monodevelop doesnt show up in the application. can anyone help?
[07:33] <beck> Okay... I just opened BitTorrent and it asked me for a meta file, where can I get this meta file from?
[07:33] <protocol1> n2diy, nope...this issue happened after I replaced a wifi PCI card
[07:33] <chris_> John: whats the problem?
[07:33] <crimsun> deepsa: yes, and they're listed on the wiki; please search it.
[07:33] <newbieme> revan did you check your xorg.conf
[07:33] <riotkittie> my cam is the only thing keeping me from  entirely nuking my win partition now :\
[07:33] <glyn> newbieme: Intel Easy Cam
[07:33] <newbieme> revan, and make sure it's set up for the right default depth
[07:34] <fami_> untung: can you start it from the command prompt?
[07:34] <deepsa> crimsun: okay
[07:34] <variant> riotkittie: what kinda cam?
[07:34] <revan> newbieme I used the command sudo nvidia-xconf or something like that
[07:34] <revan> i'll check it thanks
[07:34] <n2diy> protocol1:  Was everything ok before you put in the nic card?
[07:34] <MTecknology> If I just comment out the lines in my sources.list file for XGL, will that stop me from getting updates to beryl svn w/o reverting back to beryl?
[07:34] <beck> Help.
[07:34] <beck> !metafile
[07:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about metafile - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:34] <variant> MTecknology: ye
[07:34] <glyn> newbieme:  Intel Easy PC Camera, to be exact
[07:34] <riotkittie> it's an  ancient fuji finepix
[07:34] <beck> !meta file
[07:34] <J0HN> ok, i need to fix the drivers... er something. i want to change my screen resolution. i think it has something to do with xorg.conf. i know there's a terminal command that'll help... but i don't know the command
[07:34] <n2diy> protocol1:  Was everything ok before you put in the wireless card?
[07:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about meta file - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:34] <protocol1> n2diy, yeah....and I did test the wifi pci card in windows and it does work
[07:34] <MTecknology> variant, ty
[07:34] <untung> fami : how?
[07:34] <beck> !BitTorrent
[07:34] <seanj> di||itante: after rebooting the client system, SMB access works...
[07:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about BitTorrent - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:34] <tritium> !fishing > beck
[07:35] <chris_> John: i believe you have to edit your xorg.conf file
[07:35] <seanj> di||itante: so I'll try NFS later.. thanks for your help :)
[07:35] <fami_> untung: try opening up the terminal and typing the name of the application
[07:35] <protocol1> n2diy, yes everything was ok before
[07:35] <beck> Grrr.
[07:35] <n2diy> protocol1:  What happens if you remove the card, and reboot?
[07:35] <fami_> untung: or, conversely use Alt<F2> and enter the name of the program into the run box
[07:35] <J0HN> yah, somebody before told me of a terminal command that opened a handy program that edited xorg.conf for me...
[07:35] <beck> All I need to know is where to get the meta file for BitTorrent.
[07:35] <di||itante> seanj: ok
[07:35] <chris_> John: its in /etc/X11
[07:35] <J0HN> besides, where's xorg.conf located anyway?
[07:35] <J0HN> thanks
[07:35] <adub> where is a good apt search site to find repositories with certain applications
[07:35] <protocol1> n2diy, its boots fine to the installer
[07:35] <revan> default depth is 32
[07:36] <fami_> untung: if that works, then adding the program to the applications menu via alacarte is easy
[07:36] <tritium> adub: you'll want to use official ubuntu repositories
[07:36] <riotkittie> i found a driver on source fource but it either lacked the functionality i sought, or i was too stupid to get it together. i forget. maybe it was both.
[07:36] <chris_> John: it will have a bunch of resolutions, you just have to add in the one you want
[07:36] <untung> fami: i entered monodevelop but it does not work
[07:36] <riotkittie> not that it really matters :P
[07:36] <n2diy> protocol1:  You aren't installed yet?
[07:36] <revan> newbieme: the default depth is 32
[07:36] <adub> ok tritium i need an emule client
[07:36] <protocol1> n2diy, no
[07:36] <glyn> any luck newbieme?
[07:36] <J0HN> i'm lookin at the file right now...
[07:37] <protocol1> n2diy, thats what I am working on
[07:37] <chris_> John: okay
[07:37] <n2diy> protocol1:  Install first, and deal with the wireless card later.
[07:37] <adub> tritium do i need to edit sources.list to put stuff in there
[07:37] <chris_> its near the bottom
[07:37] <protocol1> n2diy, ok
[07:37] <untung> fami: it only has  monodoc in the application
[07:37] <protocol1> I will give that a shot
[07:37] <newbieme> revan, do you have this in your screen section:
[07:37] <fami_> untung: you'll have to find the monodevelop binary and see what command is necessary to run it
[07:37] <n2diy> protocol1:  good luck.
[07:37] <protocol1> n2diy, I will give that a shot
[07:37] <newbieme> glyn: i'm checking to see what drivers are out there
[07:37] <tritium> adub: have you tried amule?
[07:37] <newbieme> # Enable 32-bit ARGB GLX Visuals     Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"  # If you are using an older version of compiz that # does not support rendering into the Composite # Overlay Window, you will need to disable clipping # of GLX rendering to the X Root window with this # option, or you will get a blank screen after # starting compiz:     Option "DisableGLXRootClipping" "True"
[07:37] <Shadow_mil> Well... SLEEPY LAND CALLS ME, gnight all
[07:37] <fami_> Excuse me, but I have a stupid question. I'm trying to reinstall ndiswrapper and I'm following a guide. When I type 'make uninstall' I get the following error: /bin/rm: cannot remove `/lib/modules/2.6.15-27-386/kernel/drivers/net/ndiswrapper': Is a directory
[07:38] <chris_> John: it goes from highest resolution to lowest, left to right
[07:38] <glyn> ah alright thanks
[07:38] <revan> newbieme: yes
[07:38] <adub> tritum i have search for amule i have used in the past but in the repositories that are default it does not show up
[07:38] <revan> oh, sorry newbieme. typo, default depth is 24
[07:38] <adub> can you dcc me a good sources.list or something that will have a good repository list
[07:38] <chris_> John: just add in your resolution to the beginning of that for each display
[07:38] <riotkittie> remove it with rmdir or rm ?
[07:38] <adub> that is kinda key in getting good apps
[07:38] <tritium> !amule
[07:38] <ubotu> amule: client for the eD2k and Kad networks, like eMule. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.1.3-1 (edgy), package size 1239 kB, installed size 3368 kB
[07:38] <fami_> untung: unfortunately, I'm not familiar with monodevelop, so I can't address any issues other than how to add stuff to the applications menu :(
[07:38] <Slickx> Tell me
[07:38] <adub> :)  thanks for answering questions fo rme
[07:38] <untung> fami: i have no idea about that. why it doesn't show up after i installed it from sypnatic
[07:39] <Slickx> Who decides on the name of the releases?
[07:39] <J0HN> hmm
[07:39] <tritium> adub: amule is in the universe repository
[07:39] <chris_> MARK!!
[07:39] <chris_> lol
[07:39] <J0HN> i searched the xorg.conf document
[07:39] <adub> !amule
[07:39] <fami_> untung: sometimes programs installed via synaptic don't show up in the applications menu. They have to be added manually
[07:39] <Slickx> who ever named ubuntu is retarded
[07:39] <J0HN> i found a few spots where it listed a bunch of screen resolutions
[07:39] <riotkittie> the ubuntu release name fairy does of course
[07:39] <adub> tritium how did you find that out i just ran the same command didnt do anything for me
[07:39] <n2diy> Slickx: God?
[07:39] <tritium> Slickx: take it easy, please
[07:39] <chris_> John: its at the very bottom
[07:39] <J0HN> but i don't see where i'm supposed to set the resolution i want
[07:39] <Music_Shuffle> What's the command to view access lists for a channel?
[07:39] <oavicena> does anybody know about wine?
[07:39] <riotkittie> eh. i dont see why people are so hung up on the names.
[07:39] <Music_Shuffle> on XChat?
[07:39] <Slickx> People don't want to choose a distro because they feel guilty for the AIDS infected people of Manubuatau in African
[07:39] <untung> fami: you means it may be already installed ?
[07:39] <Music_Shuffle> Or just in general realy.
[07:40] <chris_> John: itll say 800*600 640*480 etc
[07:40] <Music_Shuffle> Slickx, then...don't choose it because of that? lol.
[07:40] <untung> fami: how can i find it? any windows explorer in ubuntu?
[07:40] <jumbers> Slickx: If you don't like it then uninstall it or if you haven't installed it, then just don't.
[07:40] <tritium> adub: from ubotu, but I also apt-cache searched for it, since I have all the repos in my sources.list file
[07:40] <fami_> untung: maybe. do a search for it or check the various */bin folders
[07:40] <gop> !youtube
[07:40] <chris_> John: at the res you want before the 800*600
[07:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about youtube - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:40] <newbieme> revan, how about changing your default depth?
[07:40] <newbieme> unless you have a reason for using 32
[07:40] <Slickx> Eggy Elephant
[07:40] <tritium> Slickx: warning
[07:40] <Slickx> Warning?
[07:40] <Slickx> For Eggy Elephant
[07:41] <chris_> John: add the res you want before the 800*600
[07:41] <revan> newbieme: sorrytypo. default depth is 24
[07:41] <tritium> Slickx: no, for your comment about Africa
[07:41] <oavicena> i am trying to run winecfg, but i cannot get into the program files directory in add-application tab
[07:41] <Slickx> LOL
[07:41] <jumbers> Slickx: There's really no reason to come in here and troll the IRC and waste space. It's crowded enough in here without your mindless banter
[07:41] <fami_> untung: but once you have the command necessary to launch the binary, you simply need to open alacarte and tell it what the command is that runs the application, where you want to put the link for it, and what icon you want to use :D
[07:41] <denis_> anyone know how to fix flash video being out of sync youtube etc..
[07:41] <oavicena> i am using ubuntu 6.10
[07:41] <fami_> Excuse me, but I have a stupid question. I'm trying to reinstall ndiswrapper and I'm following a guide. When I type 'make uninstall' I get the following error: /bin/rm: cannot remove `/lib/modules/2.6.15-27-386/kernel/drivers/net/ndiswrapper': Is a directory
[07:41] <tritium> Slickx: we have a Code of Conduct.  Try showing some respect.
[07:41] <Slickx> IRC is full of mindless banter
[07:41] <J0HN> the problem is: i see many resolutions. 800x600 is found essentially in the middle of this list of resolutions. this occurs a few times in the document
[07:41] <Slickx> surely 99% of text on IRC is mindless banter
[07:41] <riotkittie> indeed it is. dont add to it.
[07:41] <emun> has anybody had this problem, the parallel port does not show up in device manager , but shows up when i run run ubuntu llive cd.
[07:42] <Winter-1> :(
[07:42] <Slickx> How is it a waste of space?
[07:42] <adub> tritium why is my vim spazing out
[07:42] <jumbers> Slickx: Not in here it isn't.
[07:42] <fami_> At least nobody is executing gay.pl in this IRC channel
[07:42] <blanky> Slickx: then you're part of it, apparently
[07:42] <Slickx> are you running 640*480 or something
[07:42] <variant> Slickx: only when people like you turn up
[07:42] <blanky> Slickx: in fact, you're the missing 1%
[07:42] <chris_> John: where you want to add your res should be at the very bottom, under a certain number of Displays
[07:42] <newbieme> revan, that might be the problem!  it shouldn't be looking for 32, then, if your default depth is 24
[07:42] <riotkittie> vim is spazzing out because it is the root of all evil
[07:42] <oavicena> nobody knows about wine?
[07:42] <jumbers> Slickx: There are 882 people in this channel. It's almost impossible to follow the chat as it is
[07:42] <J0HN> i'm running 800x600 and need to change it
[07:42] <Winter-1> Music_Shuffle helps me :(
[07:42] <n30n> !resolution | J0HN
[07:42] <ubotu> J0HN: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type "sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart" in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[07:42] <oavicena> i need that little help
[07:43] <revan> newbieme: So, what can I do to let it know I'm running 24bit depth?
[07:43] <Music_Shuffle> Winter-1: ?
[07:43] <glyn> I know Wine won't run Yahoo
[07:43] <glyn> lol
[07:43] <Winter-1> Music_Shuffle when is my ban up?
[07:43] <Music_Shuffle> I dunno, ask in -ops?
[07:43] <fami_> When I type 'make uninstall' I get the following error: /bin/rm: cannot remove `/lib/modules/2.6.15-27-386/kernel/drivers/net/ndiswrapper': Is a directory. How can I get the operation to go through? Is there a way to manually complete that operation? Is it necessary for the install?
[07:44] <Winter-1> -ops
[07:44] <J0HN> thank you!
[07:44] <nymphetamine> -Rf
[07:44] <dstaudt> revan: have you tried 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?' this is a 'wizard' that lets you pick x server config options, including color depth
[07:44] <oavicena> when i run winecfg, in the applications tab, when i click add i see the program files diretory but when i get in i don't see the folders in it
[07:44] <protocol1> n2diy, after installing it the OS...whats the next step after slapping the card back in?
[07:44] <n2diy> See ya slickx
[07:44] <tritium> Winter-1: from which channel?
[07:44] <J0HN> i think i just found the command i was asking for earlier, i think it's "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[07:44] <J0HN> let me give it a try. brb as i do so
[07:44] <Winter-1> tritium ubuntu-offtopic
[07:44] <n2diy> protocol1:  is the box up?
[07:44] <newbieme> revan, lemme check out some files and see if i can figure it out
[07:44] <crimsun> tritium: he's muzzled for posting urls to inappropriate images.
[07:45] <fami_> lulz
[07:45] <Winter-1> tritium cuz i posted a link of a girl with a bra on cuz they were talking about some slut girl
[07:45] <revan> ok, thank you newbieme :)
[07:45] <dstaudt> fami : the script is failing when it tries to delete that directory.  I guess you could try manually deleting it yourself
[07:45] <tritium> Winter-1: well, that's no good
[07:45] <protocol1> n2diy, yeah pulled the wifi PCI card out and installing the OS now
[07:45] <fami_> dstaudt: thank you!
[07:45] <Winter-1> crimsun how long is it for?
[07:45] <n2diy> protocol1:  ok, can you get online without the wifi card?
[07:45] <tritium> adub: couldn't tell you, sorry
[07:45] <crimsun> Winter-1: until you stop asking.
[07:46] <riotkittie> gahhhh. i wish the other half would let me install a distro on the desktop :\
[07:46] <protocol1> n2diy, yeah with my other wifi card I can
[07:46] <protocol1> n2diy, im sure
[07:46] <glyn> any luck newbieme?
[07:46] <dstaudt> riotkittie: i am running an IBM T43 laptop booting off a USB hard drive :)  my internal HD is windows
[07:46] <n2diy> protocol1:  ok, but no wired connections?
[07:47] <dstaudt> USB hard drive with Ubuntu on it of course
[07:47] <protocol1> n2diy, not at the moment...
[07:47] <newbieme> glyn, hold on--i tried helping two people at once, sorry!
[07:47] <Avatar[1] > Hey all. I'm having trouble with the Ubuntu LiveCD v6.1 can't get it to start on my computer. It gives me wierd graphical errors.
[07:47] <fami_> dstaudt : worked like a charm. I appreciate the help
[07:47] <newbieme> revan, can you e-mail me your xorg.conf contents?
[07:47] <newbieme> erusan@gmail.com
[07:47] <riotkittie> ah. i need to get an external. or at least a larger internal.

[07:47] <n2diy> protocol1:  ok, try connectiong with he card you think works.
[07:47] <adub> yeah im not liking vim for some reason its quirky i dunno whats up with it but ill try nano and see if i can get by or emacs
[07:48] <protocol1> n2diy, then?
[07:48] <fami_> dstaudt : I thought that might work, but I'm wary when it comes to deleting stuff that I didn't personally make.
[07:48] <Avatar[1] > I'm running an Intel dualcore 2.8, with 2gb ram and a Gforce 6800
[07:48] <dstaudt> riotkittie: i also ran ubuntu in vmware for a long time on my windows drive, you can run it full screen
[07:48] <riotkittie> nano's insanoly easy, adub
[07:48] <untung> hi: anybody using monodevelop here?

[07:49] <linux_den> help with ubuntu flash video out of sync anyone
[07:49] <dstaudt> linux_den: have you tried the flash 9 linux beta?
[07:49] <andrew_> anybody familiar with Kiba Dock here?
[07:50] <dstaudt> audio sync is a known issue with the flash 7 plugin, i believe
[07:50] <newbieme> linux_den, are you using the FLASH from the repos or the beta?
[07:50] <nymphetamine> After i installed flash 9 i didnt have any problems..
[07:50] <linux_den> repos I think
[07:50] <gop> ! kiba > andrew_
[07:50] <newbieme> ok
[07:50] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kiba - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:50] <crimsun> flash 9 is in the repos, too.
[07:50] <Avatar[1] > I'm having trouble booting the Ubuntu 6.1 live CD. Can anybody give me a hand?
[07:50] <dstaudt> bring up a page with a flash on it, and right click it to see the version
[07:50] <NickGarvey> Avatar[1] , whats not working?
[07:50] <untung> hi: what is the web server for ubuntu 6.1?
[07:50] <newbieme> linux_den, download the flash 9 beta from here:
[07:51] <protocol1> n2diy, I do have a cd with drivers for both windows and linux...should I try those out too?
[07:51] <linux_den> will try using 9
[07:51] <Avatar[1] > It gives me wierd graphics errors when I try to run.
[07:51] <Avatar[1] > Like vertical colored lines
[07:51] <newbieme> http://othello.alma.edu/~07tmhopk/files/FP9_plugin_beta_112006.tar.gz
[07:51] <NickGarvey> Avatar[1] , laptop?
[07:51] <Avatar[1] > Desktop.
[07:51] <n2diy> protocol1:  no, tell me if it worked or not.
[07:51] <NickGarvey> Avatar[1] , have you tried some boot options?
[07:51] <linux_den> downloading now
[07:51] <Avatar[1] > Intel dualcore 2.8, 2gb ram, geforce 6800
[07:51] <dstaudt> avatar: try the 'alternate' CD, obviously not a 'try before you buy' live cd, but it often lets you install where the livecd fails
[07:52] <Avatar[1] > No i haven't. Not sure what I should try.
[07:52] <gop> is thier a tool in ubuntu to download you tube videos
[07:52] <adub> how can i check my network card setting i want to see if monitor_mode is set
[07:52] <Avatar[1] > I'm not trying to install i just want to see the operating system before I commit to it.
[07:52] <adub> iwpriv ?? maybe would that check my stuff running on wrieless card
[07:52] <foxiness> sorry can i do upgrade from LXF DVD ? for this month ?
[07:52] <riotkittie> use one of the firefox extensions, gop
[07:52] <NickGarvey> Avatar[1] , yup
[07:52] <protocol1> n2diy, I know which wireless card works but I dont want to use that one
[07:52] <NickGarvey> Avatar[1] , if you hit the f2 f3 etc keys on the first screen
[07:52] <NickGarvey> Avatar[1] , it should give you boot options
[07:53] <newbieme> linux_den, when it downloads, just unzip it and the directions are in a README file in the folder
[07:53] <dstaudt> gop: this website lets you download youtube videos: http://www.techcrunch.com/get-youtube-movie/, and there is a firefox plugin to do so also
[07:53] <n2diy> protocol1:  I know that, but we need to see how it is working!?
[07:53] <NickGarvey> Avatar[1] , and a little description about what they do
[07:53] <riotkittie> brb
[07:53] <protocol1> n2diy, I will see if the ubuntu system detects the one I want to work after I install it
[07:53] <Avatar[1] > Oh right. Well I tried some of the different resolutions. A few times it made it to the OS, but everything was distorted, like when you choose a resolution your monitor can't handle.
[07:54] <newbieme> glyn, does your device manager see your cam?
[07:54] <Avatar[1] > i tried safe graphics mode but it didn't help.
[07:54] <NickGarvey> Avatar[1] , I think there is a safe graphics option and such, not sure though, its been a while sens I have booted the live cd
[07:54] <adub> what is the latest version of crossover office
[07:55] <NickGarvey> adub, in the repos or the actual lastest version?
[07:55] <Avatar[1] > Yeah I just tried the safe graphics mode. No dice.
[07:55] <NickGarvey> adub, 2.1.0 is the actual, not sure whats in the repos
[07:55] <NickGarvey> !info openoffice
[07:55] <adub> well i guess the latest stable nickgarvey i dont care if i have to buy i just need something to run office 2003
[07:56] <ubotu> Package openoffice does not exist in any distro I know
[07:56] <NickGarvey> adub, it should be installed already.
[07:56] <NickGarvey> adub, http://download.openoffice.org/2.1.0/index.html?focus=download
[07:56] <n2diy_> I'm back, my ISP cut me off.

[07:57] <fami_> Okay, I just reinstalled ndiswrapper and dmesg returns "[17266170.824000]  ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready" What's wrong now?
[07:57] <adub> no office 2003
[07:57] <dstaudt> adub: it is possible to run MS Office using the Crossover Office compatibility product (which costs some $)
[07:57] <NickGarvey> adub, oh! I didn't see crossover, I read open
[07:58] <NickGarvey> sorry about that
[07:58] <J0HN> ok, i'm back after running that terminal program.
[07:58] <dstaudt> I don't believe Outlook works, however
[07:58] <J0HN> it was the command i was thinking of
[07:58] <J0HN> now i gotta do ctrl+alt+backspace to apply the changes, right?
[07:58] <dstaudt> John : yes
[07:59] <nymphetamine> Um, strange question, Is there a bug that wont let you Empty your trash bin?
[07:59] <newbieme> anyone know how to get thumbnails in kde?
[07:59] <vect0rx> !info eclipse
[07:59] <ubotu> eclipse: Extensible Tool Platform and Java IDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.2.1-0ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 121 kB, installed size 412 kB
[07:59] <J0HN> the last time i did that, the monitor said it was out of range (referring to the resolution). and as i'm currently running ubuntu as a live cd, all i could do was restart and didn't get to write down that command to begin with. lol... wish me luck
[07:59] <nymphetamine> Thumbnails?
[08:00] <newbieme> yeah, like in the file browser...previews of files
[08:00] <newbieme> i know totem handles it in gnome, but i don't know much about kde
[08:00] <glyn> any luck newbieme?
[08:00] <glyn> lol
[08:00] <glyn> Well
[08:00] <nymphetamine> yeah...should be able to go to view in your browser
[08:00] <riotkittie> have you checked the options/preferences whatever in konqueror?
[08:00] <glyn> How do I boot from a Windows Boot CD when I already have Linux Ubuntu installed?
[08:01] <newbieme> well i don't have the cam, so i can't tell you if i have it figured out, but does your cam show up in your device manager?
[08:01] <newbieme> i checked the options like that in KDE
[08:01] <glyn> yeah it does newbieme
[08:01] <newbieme> told kcontrol to show previews for everything, etc, but no thumbnails.  ever.
[08:01] <dstaudt> gly: you may need to enter your BIOS setup and set it to put the CDROM in 1st boot priority
[08:01] <newbieme> glyn, how what does it say is the location of the device
[08:01] <riotkittie> change your bios options
[08:01] <glyn> k
[08:01] <glyn> let me check
[08:02] <glyn> where would the location be listed?
[08:02] <dstaudt> note, if you want to dual boot windows/linux, you have to always install windows first
[08:02] <fami_> ARGH.
[08:02] <riotkittie> what location?
[08:02] <riotkittie> boot options?
[08:02] <newbieme> glyn, open up the gnome device manager
[08:02] <dstaudt> when you reboot the PC, look for a very quick text message similar to 'Press F2 for Setup'
[08:02] <glyn> no, we're talking about the camera
[08:02] <newbieme> in your administration menu
[08:02] <riotkittie> oh ;p
[08:02] <newbieme> then find the camera in the list
[08:02] <glyn> I'm going to try the bios thing if I can't get the cam workin
[08:02] <glyn> lol
[08:03] <glyn> I'm under the camera
[08:03] <newbieme> look in the advanced tab
[08:03] <n2diy_> riotkittie: who are you talking to?
[08:03] <riotkittie> nobody in particularrr
[08:03] <fami_> According to the list of wifi cards that work with ndiswrapper, mine should operate fine. However, despite having recompiled ndiswrapper from source and installing the drivers, my wlan0 isn't showing up in ifconfig or iwconfig output...
[08:03] <glyn> under info.bus?
[08:03] <linux_den> tried v9 flash plugin but still out of sync. Will A reboot help
[08:03] <glyn> or path_device?
[08:03] <Hansel> Does anybody know the name of that game that is kind of like Lunar Lander but you have to avoid missiles and bullets while trying to land on the pads?  You also have to pick up boxes and move them and stuff like that...
[08:04] <dstaudt> linux_den: have you confirmed flash9 is loading, by right clicking a flash and checking the version listed?
[08:04] <n2diy_> riotkittie: maybe that is why you arent't getting answers, if you want someone to respond to you, include there nick in your message.
[08:04] <linux_den> yes
[08:04] <fami_> If I were to direct someone to a forum post with the output of 'tail /var/log/messages would someone help me finally get this damned thing working?
[08:04] <cens0red> can I make a request to the people who run the universe repository?
[08:04] <Hansel> linux_den - I just updated my aliases file and then grabbed a different flash file and voila...
[08:04] <newbieme> path_device
[08:04] <riotkittie> n2diy, i am getting answers but thanks for the concern.
[08:04] <Hansel> fami_ what is going wrong?
[08:04] <Hansel> I can try to help...
[08:05] <glyn> heh
[08:05] <glyn> it's /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f:2/usb1/1-1
[08:05] <linux_den> i installed in the user directory not global. what do you mean update aliases
[08:05] <fami_> Hansel wlan0 simply doesn't show up in the output of ifconfig or iwconfig
[08:05] <n2diy_> riotkittie: good luck.
[08:05] <newbieme> ok
[08:05] <newbieme> so that's good
[08:05] <Hansel> err... sources.list  not aliases  :)
[08:05] <Hansel> I am in work mode  hehe
[08:05] <dstaudt> fami_ what how-to or steps did you follow?
[08:05] <newbieme> at least ubuntu is reading it right
[08:05] <glyn> Yeah
[08:06] <fami_> dstaudt : the last post in this thread: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=190614
[08:06] <newbieme> you're using edgy, glyn?
[08:07] <fami_> Different version of ndiswrapper, but all other steps were the same dstaudt
[08:07] <glyn> nah hoary is the only thing that works on my computer
[08:07] <dstaudt> does 'ndiswrapper' appear when you do 'sudo lsmod' ?
[08:07] <fami_> dstaudt yes
[08:07] <cens0red> man, I'm about give up on audio linux and install a windows 98 partition so atleast I can do some f#$%ing recording.
[08:07] <glyn> disconnected somehow
[08:07] <glyn> hoary is all the works on my comp
[08:07] <fami_> dstaudt >_< wlan0 just appeared in ifconfig
[08:08] <glyn> I just arn a memtest and it somehow passed where before it failed though
[08:08] <Hansel> maybe I'm just lucky but my entire system works like a champ... :x
[08:08] <riotkittie> is there a way to enable mouse emulation (mouse keys with the number pad) in gnome? read a post on forums that suggested shift + ctrl + number lock but that really didnt work
[08:08] <newbieme> alright
[08:08] <glyn> where can I find a version of Edgy?
[08:08] <dstaudt> fami_ : doh!
[08:08] <cens0red> sorry about that.
[08:08] <newbieme> just off the ubuntu website?
[08:08] <newbieme> the reason it's not working is because you need the driver that's included in dapper and later
[08:08] <newbieme> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Spca5xx
[08:08] <glyn> Oh
[08:08] <newbieme> the spca5xx works with your cam
[08:09] <newbieme> you can try to install it on hoary...i imagine there's a package for it somewhere
[08:09] <adub> what is another good GUI irc client im not likeing x-chat
[08:09] <glyn> yeah there probably is but no one seems to remember anything lol
[08:09] <Feldegast> glyn or do a dist-upgrade if u have an older version
[08:09] <adub> i use to like it but the layout is awkward in newer versions
[08:09] <glyn> I can do a dist-upgrade without a CD from Hoary?
[08:09] <dstaudt> adub: i usually run mIRC under wine :)
[08:09] <Feldegast> adub i use konversation
[08:09] <newbieme> yeah
[08:09] <fami_> dstaudt Okay, I've been this far before. Now, as soon as I disable eth0 and eth1, my internet will drop completely. I have the correct Hex key and the proper ESSID already entered.
[08:10] <riotkittie> adub: awkward how?  i seem to recall it looking just like this when i first used it years ago
[08:10] <Feldegast> glyn it's not part of the cd....it's part of apt
[08:10] <fami_> dstaudt : right now I'm connected to the internets through a much weaker wireless card coming from a laptop wired to my Desktop. I'd rejoin the chat from the laptop but it's my brothers and I believe that it's currently password protected.
[08:10] <glyn> Oh, so I can upgrade to Egdy somehow from Hoary?  How?
[08:10] <glyn> this is vital information
[08:10] <glyn> lo
[08:10] <glyn> l
[08:10] <newbieme> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[08:10] <glyn> thanks
[08:11] <newbieme> yep
[08:11] <quasar8888> what is Edgy ?
[08:11] <dstaudt> glyn: goood luck though.  if you want to save your sanity, I would recommend a fresh install of edgy
[08:11] <n2diy_> ! enter | glyn
[08:11] <ubotu> glyn: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[08:11] <newbieme> Edgy is the newest ubuntu release
[08:11] <riotkittie> edgy = ubuntu 6.10
[08:11] <glyn> lol it doesn't work
[08:11] <dstaudt> there was a lot of failed migration just from dapper to edgy
[08:11] <glyn> unmet dependencies
[08:11] <newbieme> haha
[08:11] <newbieme> go figure
[08:11] <newbieme> can you burn cd's at all, glyn?
[08:11] <toulouse> hey guys, any1 no a program to allow me to use a joystick as a second mouse?
[08:12] <glyn> No
[08:12] <toulouse> no programs for that?
[08:12] <toulouse> bummer
[08:12] <newbieme> well you could order free Dapper cd's from shipit, or there are ways to download the .iso and then mount it and install from your harddrive
[08:12] <dstaudt> it's linux, i'm sure it exists...somewhere.  the joy is in the hunt
[08:12] <newbieme> but that's probably more work than you'd be comfortable with
[08:12] <cens0red> maybe I'll try audio linux again when ubuntustudio comes out.
[08:13] <newbieme> so my suggestion is to find someone who can burn that cd for you
[08:13] <glyn> alright
[08:13] <quasar8888> how do I determine my ubuntu version ?
[08:13] <newbieme> edgy is leaps and bounds better than hoary...you'll love it
[08:13] <glyn> Thanks for the help I'll see what I can figure out
[08:13] <dstaudt> hoary is ancient :)
[08:13] <newbieme> quasar--try going to system >  about ubuntu
[08:14] <riotkittie> does the alternate install cd give you the option of not installing grub?
[08:14] <tommason> when I try to edit my httpd.conf I get an error that I do not have the proper permissions. How would I fix that so that my user has access to the /var/www directory?
[08:15] <fami_> tommason : chown should do it
[08:15] <dstaudt> riotkittie: no, not by default at least
[08:15] <fami_> tommason : I'm not sure what the precise command is, though. Check the man pages.
[08:15] <Feldegast> tommason add your user to the group that has permission?
[08:15] <Charlie-Brown> hi, have a couple questions?
[08:15] <riotkittie> bummer.
[08:16] <dstaudt> riotkittie: what are you trying to accomplish?
[08:17] <newbieme> charlie-brown, go ahead
[08:17] <newbieme> we've probably got 100 answers, 1 of which might work
[08:17] <newbieme> :)
[08:18] <jasin> hi
[08:18] <lupine_85> tommason: you want to add your user to the www-data group
[08:18] <adub> can someone help with a kismet.conf configuration i have an atheros card i have setup the suiduser but i need to setup the source=
[08:18] <riotkittie> dstaudt: nothing, really. i am thinking about moving partitions around and adding edgy to the mix
[08:18] <lupine_85> don't chown /var/www to your user if you can help it
[08:19] <jasin> Radar is better then Kismet
[08:19] <LetterRip> is there anyone who might be willing to upgrade blender to be able to handle arabic translations? ie someone who is a expert on that type of code?
[08:19] <riotkittie> i added a new distro last week and it took me nine hours to manage to get back into dapper. heh. <hangs head in  shame>
[08:19] <Charlie-Brown> yeah, I've been having issues getting internet to work on my laptop with Ubuntu since 6.06 came out, and I recently bought a Buffalo USB wireless adapter, however, I don't know how to set it up so that I can have the internet working on it. i'm typing from a different computer obviously
[08:19] <dstaudt> ow
[08:19] <whyameye> I have installed flash9 plugin from the dapper repos but firefox is not finding it.
[08:19] <aN1> quasar8888,  lsb_realease -a
[08:19] <fami_> ... I'm not recieving any DHCP offers when I run sudo ifup wlan0
[08:20] <Charlie-Brown> also, I wanted to use this laptop with Ubuntu on it to run as a dedicated server for a couple things including IRC, and I was wondering whether it would be better to use the Desktop version or the Server version
[08:20] <jasin> riotkittie, hehe
[08:20] <newbieme> charlie-brown, do you know what chipset your wireless card uses?
[08:20] <adub> what do i use for enablesources etc
[08:20] <aN1> quasar8888,  i mean lsb_release -a
[08:21] <newbieme> whyameye, just download the beta file and then put it into your plugins folder manually
[08:21] <whyameye> newbieme: which plugins folder do you suggest?
[08:21] <newbieme> http://othello.alma.edu/~07tmhopk/ubuntuhowto.html#flash9beta2
[08:21] <tommason> lupine_85: how do I add my self to the root group..
[08:21] <newbieme> in your home folder
[08:21] <Charlie-Brown> newbieme: umm, let me look it up, hold on
[08:22] <DARKGuy> Hey there and happy new year xD... I have a small question: I see sometimes there's some boot kernel lines like "vga=791" and I know they're like 1024x768x16 and stuff like that. When I boot my comp with that line, it says the video mode can't be set and it shows a list of col/row size (80x25, 80x40 and so on). What would be the kernel line to use if I want to select a size like that, and not a 1024x768 one, for example?
[08:22] <quasar8888> thenks aNI
[08:22] <quasar8888> I mean thanks aNI
[08:22] <james296> how can I run enlightenment with every application using the same skin the default theme uses?
[08:22] <james296> instead of the ugly grey theme
[08:22] <Charlie-Brown> newbieme: no, but i have the link of the specifics on it from where i bought it, if you'd like to see that
[08:23] <Charlie-Brown> would you?
[08:23] <newbieme> sure

[08:23] <Harkonnen20> Hey Im running the live cd of ubuntu 6.06, and was wondering how do I get access to my windows files
[08:23] <tommason> well I am already in the root group but I still can't edit anything in the /var/www/ directory.. Any suggestions.. ?
[08:23] <Harkonnen20> read only access is fine
[08:23] <james296> well?
[08:23] <Harkonnen20> NFTS also
[08:24] <quasar8888> aNI which printer do you use ?
[08:24] <Feldegast> tommason what user owns the directory?
[08:24] <tommason> root
[08:24] <Feldegast> and what are the permissions? 770?
[08:25] <seanj> wow, now I can't even mount a CD-ROM
[08:25] <newbieme> whyameye, did you get it working?
[08:25] <dstaudt> Harkonnen20, 'ntfs-3g' is what you are looking for, though i tried it last week and couldn't get it to work
[08:25] <tommason> hmm.. let me see.. sounds about right.. <-- = newb

[08:25] <fami_> Does anyone have any ideas on why wlan0 isn't getting any DHCP offers?
[08:25] <Harkonnen20> dstaudt i dunno what that is
[08:25] <Harkonnen20> I would just like to view the files
[08:25] <aN1> quasar8888,  type dat so msg is highlited easier for me
[08:26] <whyameye> newbieme: not yet. Still finding the download...
[08:26] <dstaudt> Harkonnen20, it is a package and command-line tools.  unfortunately I'm not aware of any easy/GUI way
[08:26] <newbieme> fami_ did you check your /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/iftab files to make sure it's showing up with the right MAC?
[08:26] <dstaudt> google, or search ubuntuforums.org for a how-to
[08:26] <newbieme> whyameye--alright, lemme know when it's done
[08:26] <riotkittie> wait. you just want to mount the file sys right, Harkonnen20 ??
[08:27] <Harkonnen20> yes

[08:28] <newbieme> http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
[08:28] <riotkittie> Harkonnen20, >> try something like "sudo mkdir /media/win && sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/win"
[08:28] <quasar8888> aNI how do I highlight text ?
[08:28] <newbieme> your chipset is the ralink rt2500
[08:28] <Olathe> Does anyone know of any console fonts that are less than eight pixels wide ?
[08:28] <Harkonnen20> im on a live session btw
[08:28] <fami_> newbieme No, lemme try that and see what's happening.
[08:28] <riotkittie> replacing /dev/hda1 with whatever the proper drive and partition are
[08:28] <Charlie-Brown> so i should put that onto my usb stick, copy it onto my ubuntu laptop, and install that driver into ubuntu and it'll work, newbieme?
[08:29] <aN1> quasar8888,  lol u typed my name wrong if u type it correctly it auto does it
[08:29] <aN1> quasar8888,  my name is an(ONE)
[08:29] <Harkonnen20> i can make directories on a live session?
[08:29] <dstaudt> riotkittie, cool!  it mounted, but i can't even browse it due to permissions..?
[08:29] <aN1> quasar8888,  yeah i no itz hard to read
[08:29] <newbieme> you shouldn't need to put anything on your usb stick
[08:29] <aN1> sorri
[08:29] <newbieme> just install it in ubuntu
[08:29] <glyn> hey, back for more help
[08:29] <quasar8888> aN1 OK
[08:29] <newbieme> then maybe restart, and it should work
[08:30] <tommason> how do I edit the permissions for that directory?
[08:30] <glyn> ever since I installed Ubuntu, my computer won't detect CD roms and it won't even detect a boot CD
[08:30] <glyn> how do I fix this?
[08:30] <aN1> quasar8888,  yeah my printer is hp 5440
[08:30] <Charlie-Brown> newbieme: i'd have to put it into my usb stick in order to put it on my laptop, since my laptop can't access the internet
[08:30] <aN1> quasar8888,  wuts up?
[08:30] <glyn> I went to setup and put boot cd room first but nothing happens
[08:30] <fami_> newbieme : the MAC address seems to be correct in iftab, but all I see in interfaces is my ESSID and hex key
[08:30] <riotkittie> dstaudt, >> try something like chmod 755 <dir>
[08:30] <dstaudt> glyn: sounds like your cdrom is not working, or got disconnected
[08:30] <newbieme> ah, yeah charlie-brown, my bad
[08:30] <Charlie-Brown> s'alright
[08:30] <newbieme> but yeah, just install it on ubuntu and your card should work
[08:30] <glyn> I tried a bunch of different boot cds
[08:30] <Charlie-Brown> awesome
[08:30] <quasar8888> aN1, was it difficult to install ?
[08:31] <newbieme> glyn, does it see cd's after you boot, or is it just a boot issue?
[08:31] <Harkonnen20> riotkittie i will let you know if it works
[08:31] <glyn> it doesn't see it before or after
[08:31] <dstaudt> riotkittie, failed due to read-only file system!
[08:31] <riotkittie> glyn, >> is your bios set to boot form CD?
[08:31] <aN1> quasar8888,  no i didn't have to do anything
[08:31] <glyn> it's set to boot the CD first yeah
[08:31] <aN1> quasar ubuntu like detects it
[08:31] <newbieme> fami, um...
[08:32] <Charlie-Brown> i have a couple other questions. which would be better in terms of interface to use as a dedicated server for IRC & gaming; ubuntu desktop or ubuntu server (linux noob here). and finally, is there a way to update from 6.06 to Edgy without having to DL another torrent of the newest release? Like, can I just update from in Ubuntu itself
[08:32] <newbieme> fami_ delete the extra stuff in your interfaces file
[08:32] <quasar8888> an1,Thanks
[08:32] <mbuf> any links to setting and testing Perl CGI on Ubuntu with apache2 ? i'm new to apache
[08:32] <newbieme> auto wlan0
[08:32] <newbieme> iface wlan0 inet dhcp
[08:32] <mbuf> have installed apache2, php-4 and php works
[08:32] <aN1> quasar8888,  np
[08:33] <newbieme> that's basically all you want right now, get rid of the essid lines and everything else for your wlan
[08:33] <glyn> does it have to be mounted or something?
[08:33] <glyn> it was working fine before ubuntu
[08:33] <Angelus> !virus
[08:33] <ubotu> A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[08:33] <dstaudt> Charlie-Brown, i would probably go with desktop.  server would be recommended if you did not need/want a GUI - i.e. low-power pc
[08:33] <Charlie-Brown> ah, i see, alright
[08:33] <fami_> newbieme : so delete auto wlan- and iface wlan0 inet dhcp?
[08:33] <jasin> clamTK is the bets virus scanner for linux
[08:33] <riotkittie> dstaudt, did you try the last one with sudo ?
[08:33] <jasin> best*
[08:33] <newbieme> no no no, you want to keep that
[08:33] <Charlie-Brown> should I get the beta of the driver, or go w/ a lower version?
[08:33] <newbieme> but make sure that any other information for the card is gone
[08:34] <dstaudt> riotkittie, yes
[08:34] <newbieme> so if there's an essid, get rid of it
[08:34] <fami_> newbieme Wait, what am I supposed to delete from interfaces then?
[08:34] <dstaudt> Charlie-Brown, yes you should be able to upgrade from 6.06 to 6.10 in place via apt-get, i.e. 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get distupgrade'
[08:34] <aN1> jasin there are virus in linux?
[08:35] <Charlie-Brown> kk
[08:35] <newbieme> anything related to the hex or essid
[08:35] <newbieme> if it's just this stuff:
[08:35] <newbieme> auto wlan0
[08:35] <ronaldo> Charlie-Brown: yes you can update from dapper to edgy
[08:35] <newbieme> iface wlan0 inet dhcp
[08:35] <newbieme> then leave it and don't delete it
[08:35] <whyameye> newbieme: I copied libflashplayer: sudo mv /tmp/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/. and I still have no flash...
[08:35] <ronaldo> without a full download
[08:35] <ronaldo> it's a matter of changing the apt sources
[08:35] <newbieme> whyameye, it's in your home folder, then /.mozilla/plugins
[08:35] <dstaudt> whyameye, search for and replace all occurrences of 'libflashplayer.so'
[08:36] <ronaldo> and apt-get update & & apt-get dist-upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade
[08:36] <ronaldo> is't in the docu
[08:36] <dstaudt> there may be a couple
[08:36] <newbieme> whyameye, you might have to create the folder
[08:36] <whyameye> newbieme: I want all users to have access to flash, so shouldn't it be /usr/lib/...
[08:36] <tommason> how do you edit the permissions for a directory that is owned by root?
[08:36] <chris_> anyone with nvidia driver problems, go here, this script will get you up and running in just moments! http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[08:36] <Angelus> is it true that there is no need for virus protection?
[08:36] <Charlie-Brown> k
[08:36] <dstaudt> whyameye, yes, but if it's present in your user plugins folder too, it will over-ride
[08:36] <Charlie-Brown> as for my usb wireless card's driver, should I get the beta of the driver, or go w/ a lower version?
[08:37] <ronaldo> Angelus: I would still do sncanning if I was serving files over samba to windows machines
[08:37] <whyameye> dstaudt: but I am getting no flash at all, so what is overriding?
[08:37] <newbieme> ah, didn't know that, whyameye!
[08:37] <newbieme> sorry
[08:37] <Harkonnen20> riotkittie the command didn't work it said that it is already mounted or its busy
[08:37] <Charlie-Brown> like if i go with the beta, will i f*** stuff up by accident?
[08:37] <fami_> newbieme : forgive me for being so cautious, but I don't want to lose internets completely. The interfaces file has all kinds of crap related to my eth0 connection (which is what I'm using right now). So to be COMPLETELY sure: delete everything but auto wlan0 and wlan0 inet dhcp
[08:37] <ronaldo> Charlie-Brown: your milleage may vary
[08:37] <Harkonnen20> and i went to the location it said where it was and i can't view the contents don't have permissions
[08:37] <Angelus> ronaldo, I just surf the net and don't do that much on the computer, just home use
[08:37] <ronaldo> but it seems to be ok
[08:37] <Charlie-Brown> How do you mean ronaldo?
[08:37] <newbieme> fami_ nope!  you can leave everything
[08:37] <newbieme> but anything in your wlan area
[08:37] <newbieme> EXCEPT what i posted
[08:38] <newbieme> IF there is anything--get rid of it
[08:38] <newbieme> any essid or hex values or anything like that
[08:38] <ronaldo> then Angelus you should still be ok
[08:38] <fami_> newbieme : so just delete the ESSID and Hex values?
[08:38] <kuzmaster> hello everyone!
[08:38] <ronaldo> but you should alway care to look who's code you will be running
[08:39] <Angelus> beauty! :)
[08:39] <ronaldo> but in general everything you apt-get is a-ok
[08:39] <Angelus> thank you
[08:39] <ronaldo> from the central repo's
[08:39] <kuzmaster> how stable is ubuntu 6.10 edgy etf with networking and such?
[08:39] <newbieme> fami, yeah
[08:39] <pavan> my screen resolution is 1024 x 768 but its not coming in ubuntu can u help
[08:39] <riotkittie> Harkonnen20 >> i'm clueless then. i seem to recall my xp partition automounting and being fully readable when i was using the live CD
[08:39] <adub> how to i remove a repository i apt-get in
[08:39] <adub> apt-get remove?
[08:39] <dstaudt> kuzmaster, very, in my experience - though i understand some wireless functionality works better in dapper
[08:40] <whyameye> dstaudt, newbieme: if I put libflashplayer.so in ~/.mozilla/plugins, then it works. If I put it in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins it doesn't work. I don't really understand why...
[08:40] <fami_> newbieme : okay, now what?
[08:40] <pwilson> Interesting, I just found out why nvidia 6150 go won't work with non legacy drivers.
[08:40] <kuzmaster> dstaudt, well, when i used dapper, the wireless worked fine in kubuntu......
[08:40] <newbieme> whyameye, i don't understand either, it works fine for me...perhaps apt-get remove your previous version of flash?
[08:40] <kuzmaster> dstaudt, but, im just wondering how good it would be with ubuntu 6.10.....
[08:40] <newbieme> fami_, i'd install network-manager-gnome if you haven't already
[08:41] <pwilson> Because its a damn 430 mobile rebadged, what the hell kind of fresh hell is that?
[08:41] <newbieme> fami_ or -kde, if you're using kde, then restart
[08:41] <pavan> my screen resolution is 1024 x 768 but its not coming in ubuntu can u help
[08:41] <dstaudt> kuzmaster, try the live cd, maybe :)
[08:41] <kuzmaster> what are the major imporvements in edgy eft?
[08:41] <glyn> does anyone know how to get WMV's working on the old Hoary distro?
[08:41] <pwilson> it crashes more, mostly.
[08:41] <newbieme> glyn, do a sudo apt-get install w32codecs
[08:41] <fami_> newbieme is there a way to check to see if I already have it installed? I've been screwing with a lot of stuff related to all of this and have only a slight clue as to what I'm doing.
[08:41] <riotkittie> Harkonnen20,  if you do "sudo ls <mountpoint>"  does it list anything?
[08:41] <newbieme> or install vlc (sudo apt-get install vlc)
[08:42] <pwilson> That is a big improvement, yes?
[08:42] <glyn> I installed the codecs
[08:42] <glyn> but they still won't play
[08:42] <newbieme> fami_ if it's already installed, it will say so, so don't worry
[08:42] <newbieme> glyn, install vlc, then
[08:42] <tommason> anyone have any ideas as to how I would edit the permissions for a directory that is owned by root?
[08:42] <newbieme> totem is known for having problems with wmv files
[08:42] <glyn> requires newer version of libc6 that I can't install
[08:42] <fami_> newbieme It will say so how?
[08:42] <Feldegast> tommason use sudo when changing them
[08:42] <newbieme> tommason--if you're not concerned with security (you don't share your pc), the simplest method is sudo chmod 777 (file path here)
[08:43] <fami_> <--lunix newb newbieme :(
[08:43] <dstaudt> Harkonnen20, i was able to get a file listing from my ntfs drive via 'sudo ls <mount point>'
[08:43] <riotkittie> pavan > try 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' and then alt + ctrl + backspace to restart x when you've made your changes
[08:43] <jasin> vlc is good
[08:43] <newbieme> fami_, in your terminal, type sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome
[08:43] <pradeep> tommason, sudo -R chmod for a dir
[08:43] <newbieme> it will check to see if it's installed, and if it is, the text will tell you
[08:43] <Feldegast> tommason use sudo chmod 775
[08:44] <newbieme> glyn, that's why you should really upgrade!
[08:44] <fami_> newbieme good thing I asked, because I didn't have it :O Okay, now that it's installed, I should restart and configure my internets through the GNOME network manager?
[08:45] <riotkittie> dstaudt > if youre using gnome and want to view the files in nautilus, try  "sudo cd <mountpoint> && sudo gnome-open . "
[08:45] <newbieme> fami_ yeah, when you restart, run "nmapplet" and it will put a little wireless manager in your panel tray
[08:45] <adub> SET failed on device ath0 ; Invalid argument.      <--- get that on the following command    iwconfig ath0 mode monitor
[08:45] <cyphase> anyone with a SIP account willing to call me?
[08:45] <newbieme> then use that to connect
[08:45] <fami_> newbieme : okay, thanks. brb
[08:45] <adub> do i have to take ath0 down from the network to set monitor mode first?? dunno little linux rusty though
[08:45] <Harkonnen20> sorry riotkittie i shut it off
[08:46] <adub> :)  this is awesome how much the community has grown im overwelmed
[08:46] <Harkonnen20> its getting to be bedtime
[08:46] <alink1000> About that changing resolution thing again...
[08:46] <blanky> !backports
[08:46] <ubotu> If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[08:46] <riotkittie> <~ meant to go to bed like three hours ago. eep.
[08:46] <alink1000> how do I do it now?
[08:46] <Harkonnen20> I wish I could get it to work on my PC
[08:46] <tommason> I tried sudo chmod 775 /var/www/ and I am getting the same permission issues..
[08:46] <Harkonnen20> it apparently does not like the fact that i have integrated video and standalone video cards
[08:46] <alink1000> yep, getting my screen resolution to go higher, how would I do that? :)
[08:47] <newbieme> glyn, have you gotten vlc installed?  it plays everything
[08:47] <Harkonnen20> will not boot just gives me x server error
[08:47] <Sir_Penguin> Hi again :)
[08:47] <dstaudt> riotkittie, 'sudo cd <mount point>' gives: sudo: cd: command not found
[08:47] <riotkittie> oh. hm.
[08:47] <alink1000> well?
[08:48] <Harkonnen20> i was using my dad's lappy when i got it working, booted first try :P
[08:48] <Harkonnen20> pissed me off
[08:48] <riotkittie> try "sudo gnome-open <your mountpoint>
[08:48] <Harkonnen20> so disc works :P
[08:48] <Sir_Penguin> I've got Ubuntu 7.04 installed and I know that is still "meant" to have errors but I was just wondering if anyone else has the problem where whenever you open help it comes up with a bug reporter.
[08:48] <n30n> Know any good programs for playing dvds
[08:48] <n30n> !dvd
[08:48] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[08:48] <heatxsink> hello all, i'm having some serious problems with the nvidia kernel driver
[08:48] <aN1> riotkittie, wut does gnome-open do?
[08:48] <heatxsink> was there an update recently?
[08:48] <Harkonnen20> VLC will play dvds
[08:48] <aN1> riotkittie, if itz mounted the it will be in mnt rite?
[08:48] <Sir_Penguin> Happens from the networking app and the main menu one.
[08:49] <newbieme> VLC rocks for dvds
[08:49] <Harkonnen20> it hates menus though
[08:49] <n30n> newbieme: Thanks
[08:49] <alink1000> is... anyone willing to even pay ATTENTION to what I asked?
[08:49] <alink1000> :(
[08:49] <riotkittie> aN1, gnome-open opens the file in the designated application for that file type
[08:49] <Harkonnen20> always crashes for me on windows
[08:49] <newbieme> did you guys know VLC is porting over to Qt?
[08:49] <aN1> riotkittie, thx
[08:49] <newbieme> that's weird...never crashed for me
[08:49] <Sir_Penguin> What did you ask? I came after you asked it.
[08:49] <riotkittie> gnome-open . opens the current directory, for example
[08:49] <tommason> So any other suggestions.. sudo chmod 775 /var/www/   does not work.. :(
[08:49] <newbieme> alink, hey
[08:49] <riotkittie> opens it in nautilus, rather
[08:50] <newbieme> you just want your screen resolution to go higher?
[08:50] <alink1000> yes
[08:50] <riotkittie> oooh. my brain is getting mushy
[08:50] <Sir_Penguin> Drivers i expect.
[08:50] <alink1000> I only see up to 800x600...
[08:50] <Sir_Penguin> Whats your card?
[08:50] <alink1000> none, integrated
[08:50] <n30n> !resolution | alink1000
[08:50] <ubotu> alink1000: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type "sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart" in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[08:50] <alink1000> ATI Radeon Xpress 200
[08:50] <newbieme> what's your native, then?  1024?
[08:50] <Sir_Penguin> How many MB?
[08:50] <aN1> riotkittie, double shot espresso
[08:51] <alink1000> no ram
[08:51] <dstaudt> riotkittie, gnome-open or gksudo nautilus results in an invisible sleeping nautilus instance...i;'m running feisty
[08:51] <Sir_Penguin> Nah, it has to.
[08:51] <alink1000> it hogs up my little 512 MB of ram
[08:51] <Harkonnen20> integrated uses system memory
[08:51] <alink1000> nope, it's crappy and integrated
[08:51] <riotkittie> an1: caffeine stopped working for me years ago :\
[08:51] <Sir_Penguin> How much of your system memory does it use?
[08:51] <glyn_> bad connection
[08:51] <glyn_> what can I use besides vlc newbieme?
[08:51] <newbieme> alink, why don't you do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:51] <glyn_> vlc says I have unmet dependencies and I can't find get the libc6 version
[08:51] <Harkonnen20> i've tried that on my pc newbieme :P
[08:52] <newbieme> glyn, you could try mplayer or kaffeine
[08:52] <aN1> riotkittie,  : ( some green herbal tea hehe and comon ur not dat old lol years ago
[08:52] <Harkonnen20> doesn't work for me, it asks like a billion questions too
[08:52] <newbieme> yeah
[08:52] <newbieme> my strategy is to copy my xorg.conf file
[08:52] <newbieme> for backup
[08:52] <Harkonnen20> hard when its live cd
[08:52] <riotkittie> dstaudt, >> with gnome-open, are you including the "." at the end of that command
[08:52] <tommason> well 777 worked but that is very insecure.. right?
[08:52] <glyn_> get the same problem trying to install mplayer
[08:53] <glyn_> libc6 is out of date or whatever
[08:53] <newbieme> then run the config and copy down the horizontal and veritcal syncs from the newly-generated file
[08:53] <newbieme> and then simply copy my original xorg back over, and replace the proper sync values
[08:53] <newbieme> works like a charm
[08:53] <riotkittie> an1: i'm ancient :P
[08:53] <dstaudt> riotkittie, a "."  ?  no
[08:53] <newbieme> tommason, 777 isn't really insecure
[08:54] <newbieme> unless you have people accessing your pc and you don't want them messing with those files
[08:54] <riotkittie> dstaudt >> try again. "gnome-open ."   the . is important - it signifies the current directory
[08:54] <noiesmo> glyn_, what does  sudo aptitude install mplayer it has better dependency resolution and might offer a solution apt-get cannot
[08:54] <tommason> I will eventually
[08:54] <tommason> not at this time though..
[08:54] <newbieme> well then 777 will be fine
[08:54] <newbieme> and you can always change it later
[08:54] <tommason> cool... thanks again guys
[08:54] <alink1000> well that didn't work...
[08:54] <alink1000> =|
[08:55] <dstaudt> riotkittie, 'gnome-open .'   opens a working nautilus in my current directory
[08:55] <alink1000> I tried restarting that X thing and it didn't work.
[08:55] <Harkonnen20> It was just funny that i could get the Live cd to run on my dad's laptop without a hitch but can't for the life of me get mine to work
[08:55] <ekaeka> can I make it so that when I click my scroll wheel in firefox it makes an on screen scroller?
[08:55] <glyn_> ah good one newbieme
[08:55] <glyn_> thanks
[08:55] <dstaudt> riotkittie, 'sudo gnome-open /media/ntfsvol' hangs
[08:55] <adub> SET failed on device ath0 ; Invalid argument   <--- i get that when i set      iwconfig ath0 mode monitor
[08:55] <riotkittie> hm. thats odd.
[08:55] <alink1000> I think I gotta do this over thing with x to choose a new resolution to get added.
[08:55] <newbieme> alink1000, i have a howto i wrote that's pretty much guaranteed
[08:56] <alink1000> can someone tell me what that command is?
[08:56] <alink1000> k, linkeh plzeh
[08:56] <newbieme> http://othello.alma.edu/~07tmhopk/ubuntuhowto.html#resolution
[08:56] <riotkittie> i almost wish i hated myself enough to pop a live disc in and give it a go myself  :P
[08:56] <riotkittie> but the way my cd drive runs, ... eww.
[08:56] <Harkonnen20> talking to me kittie?
[08:56] <riotkittie> Harkonnen20, nope
[08:56] <Harkonnen20> k
[08:56] <newbieme> ekaeka--you'll probably want imwheel, i think
[08:57] <Harkonnen20> using my nick helps cause i got highlighting on :P
[08:57] <aN1> newbieme, NICe how-to
[08:57] <aN1> newbieme, u use beryl?
[08:57] <newbieme> yeah, i use beryl
[08:57] <naphelge> hey gang i am d/loading alternate ubuntu image after trying all day to boot with default live... is there a prob with 6.10 live?
[08:57] <riotkittie> Harkonnen20, there are probably some parameters you can pass to the kernel at boot to get around the issue that youre running into but i have no clue what they are
[08:57] <alink1000> newbieme: I don't even understand that...
[08:57] <tritium> naphelge: no, it's likely your hardware
[08:57] <aN1> newbieme, yeah for me when i do the cube rotation the surface all flickers
[08:57] <alink1000> that one link you gave me.
[08:57] <lovloss> Is there any application out there that can help me rip stuff off of my data cds that isn't copying off right? They're old disks and the file transfers act screwy
[08:58] <alink1000> so...
[08:58] <newbieme> aN1, that's weird...like the refresh rate is off?
[08:58] <dstaudt> Harkonnen20, ok, it looks like there is an '-o user' option needed: 'sudo mount -o myname /dev/hda1 /mnt/point'
[08:58] <Harkonnen20> heh someone earlier told me to run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:58] <dstaudt> riotkittie, so the question is, how to unmount the currently mounting?
[08:58] <naphelge> well i have d/loaded live 2 times from diff mirrors, burned 5 cd's on 2 diff laptops running FC6 & mandrake a-ok
[08:58] <newbieme> alink, i can try to walk you through it
[08:58] <alink1000> thanks
[08:58] <aN1> newbieme, yeah but after i restart beryl couple times it goes away and also glxgears crashes with beryl like crashes everything
[08:58] <Guru> morning
[08:58] <pwilson> ACK!
[08:58] <newbieme> aN1--i have no idea
[08:59] <newbieme> :)
[08:59] <adub> does anyone know how to get monitor mode working on an atheros card
[08:59] <aN1> nah itz k just wondering itz only alpha ware
[08:59] <aN1> don't expect to be perfect
[08:59] <riotkittie> dstaudt "sudo umount <mountpoint>
[08:59] <pwilson> whether I use synaptics, or apt-get, I get the same problem, 5 times in a row.
[08:59] <pwilson> W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/l/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17/nvidia-glx-legacy_1.0.7184+2.6.17.6-1_i386.deb
[08:59] <pwilson>   MD5Sum mismatch
[08:59] <glyn_> newbieme I tried mplayer and it just gave me a black screen, then it froze
[08:59] <riotkittie> yes, umount, not unmount
[08:59] <imbecile> can someone point me to doom 3?
[08:59] <pwilson> Anyone have any recommendations.
[08:59] <aN1> newbieme,  can't wait for feisty with beryl 0.2 thou
[08:59] <pwilson> ?
[08:59] <newbieme> true that, aN1
[08:59] <ekaeka> newbieme: is that a package or an extension?
[09:00] <newbieme> ekaeka--it's a package
[09:00] <newbieme> do a search for it
[09:00] <riotkittie> i wish i could run beryl or compiz. they look sweet.
[09:00] <naphelge> so the alternate ubuntu image will be text install?
[09:00] <newbieme> alink--do you have your original xorg.conf backed up?
[09:00] <alink1000> ?
[09:00] <lupine_85> naphelge: yes, but it's easy
[09:00] <naphelge> is it like druid
[09:00] <Guru> riotkittie why cant u ?
[09:00] <alink1000> and... how exactly would I do that? =|
[09:00] <newbieme> hah
[09:01] <riotkittie> Guru > dont have the vid power for it, i imagine
[09:01] <newbieme> well, first, if you've changed anything to your original install xorg.conf, including running the reconfigure command, you want to get back to the unaltered file
[09:01] <naphelge> *sighs*... haven't had to do text install since like RH6
[09:01] <Harkonnen20> yeah i know, i just tried to run the live cd to play around with ubuntu and get familiar with it and im bombarded with errors and sudos
[09:01] <newbieme> run this command and see if you have anything that looks like a backup:
[09:01] <newbieme> ls /etc/X11
[09:01] <edmsecboi> just wondering if i could get some more info on setting up a dual operating system using Windows XP Home & Ubuntu (Version 6.06)
[09:02] <newbieme> you're looking for a file like xorg.conf_bak or xorg.conf.backup or something
[09:02] <alink1000> newbieme, you have msn or anything? as I must send you a screenshot for further help.
[09:02] <newbieme> alink, i have AIM and gtalk

[09:03] <newbieme> apparently my pm's in gaim's irc aren't working
[09:04] <alink1000> oh
[09:04] <riotkittie> edmsecboi, sure - but i am not sure how much help i will be able to provide :P  you may be better off asking in here
[09:04] <ekaeka> edmsecboi: I was in your position just a week ago, and have learned quite a lot since then using ubuntu 6.10 :)
[09:05] <naphelge> i have never used a linux flavour with the debian package manager... ow much different from rpms is it?
[09:05] <pwilson> how do I install a package on my desktop from the command line?
[09:06] <newbieme> naphelge, it's much faster for me.  i tried fedora core 6, and it was horribly slow doing installs, update, etc
[09:06] <riotkittie> Guru, >> its a rage mobilty
[09:06] <nolimitsoya> pwilson, dpkg -i foo
[09:06] <riotkittie> with like no ram ;p
[09:06] <nolimitsoya> naphelge, apt actualy works, rpm doesnt :P
[09:06] <pwilson> dpkg -i foo /path/package.*?
[09:06] <riotkittie> we have a radeon something or other that is pretty decent in the desktop but it's an XP box all the way
[09:06] <pwilson> like that?
[09:06] <nolimitsoya> pwilson, foo is your package
[09:07] <pwilson> ty
[09:07] <naphelge> heh i never really had any probs with rpms... just dependency probs that went away with yum
[09:07] <newbieme> naphelge, rpm's tend to be updated faster for unstable packes (like freshrpms), but other than that, the debian package managers tend to do a better job
[09:07] <nolimitsoya> rpm has always been a surefire way to end up in dependency hell for me
[09:07] <newbieme> i rarely have any problems at all
[09:07] <newbieme> and against, it's much faster
[09:08] <newbieme> *again
[09:08] <newbieme> but in general, it's the same concept
[09:08] <heatxsink> is there some new driver package for nvidia-glx
[09:08] <riotkittie> dependency hell :D
[09:08] <heatxsink> ?
[09:08] <nolimitsoya> heatxsink, you can use the drivers from teh nvidia site
[09:08] <naphelge> yeah kewls thats y i wanna try ubuntu... something different from FCore & mandrake
[09:09] <heatxsink> nolimitsoya:  why cause the ones that are from the repo is jacked up?
[09:09] <newbieme> heatsink--  http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_Beta_Graphics_Driver_.28NVIDIA.29
[09:09] <Harkonnen20> i just don't understand why ubuntu keeps trying to detect my onboard video card, it is disabled in BIOS
[09:09] <nolimitsoya> heatxsink, no, but if you want the latest drivers...
[09:09] <riotkittie> i downloaded FC in the redhat days and madriva when it was mandrake but never installed either
[09:09] <naphelge> just 150 megs left to finish d/loading alternate cd... i hope this one worx
[09:09] <heatxsink> when my box tries to run gdm it states that
[09:09] <nolimitsoya> heatxsink, and well, yes, the depends of the repo package are jacked up :P
[09:10] <heatxsink> it failed to load the nvidia kernel module
[09:10] <heatxsink> so it's NOT me
[09:10] <heatxsink> and my setup
[09:10] <heatxsink> it's the depends?
[09:10] <nolimitsoya> heatxsink, sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic
[09:11] <heatxsink> already installed
[09:11] <nolimitsoya> Harkonnen20, give it to me instead <3
[09:11] <Harkonnen20> you don't want none of this
[09:11] <nolimitsoya> Harkonnen20, yes i do. ill turn it into a paperweight :P
[09:11] <Harkonnen20> and i bet if I plugged my monitor into my onboard and enabled it again, ubuntu would boot
[09:12] <heatxsink> ?
[09:13] <pwilson> ack, anyone know how I can get the legacy nvidia driver without apt-get or synaptics, both are downloading w/bad checksums.
[09:14] <pwilson> I tried downloading off of the the web, but that is saying that it is corrupt too.
[09:14] <naphelge> just so i know i am doing this right... after d/loading the alternate image (which is *.iso?) i can just right click the image from nautilus & choose to write to disc yeah?
[09:15] <Harkonnen20> burn image to disc
[09:15] <pwilson> anyone?
[09:15] <Harkonnen20> if it has that option
[09:15] <naphelge> i think nautilus says write to disc
[09:15] <naphelge> but same same yeah
[09:16] <Harkonnen20> well it might just burn a .iso to the cd :P
[09:16] <pwilson> no one at all?
[09:16] <heatxsink> what if I revert to an older kernel image, would that work?
[09:16] <jasin> why revert?
[09:16] <heatxsink> it seems as if http://albertomilone.com/drivers/edgy/nonlegacy/32bit is down
[09:16] <naphelge> nah i have bured discs already of the live default image & they have the filesystem in place ... they just hang at welcome screen tho
[09:17] <naphelge> so hoping alternate image worx
[09:17] <dstaudt> Harkonnen20, were you able to access your windows NTFS drive?
[09:17] <DARKGuy> Greetings! I'm getting some errors when booting to my linux partition. After fsck runs, at 80.something fails and says something like "file system contains large filenames" and tells me to run fsck without -p or -a . However, either in normal or recovery mode, fsck only says "unable to resolve UUID=<some numbers or ID here>" and doesn't do nothing to the drive. I'm running now an Ubuntu 6.10 LiveCD. - Question is: Is there a way to do fsck on my linux dri
[09:17] <pwilson> anyone have any idea why no matter where download the package from, its corrupt?
[09:17] <Harkonnen20> I shut the lappy off, was gonna go to bed
[09:17] <karakara> enter ftw
[09:18] <dstaudt> Harkonnen20, I found the command :)
[09:18] <Harkonnen20> well i can write it down and try tomorrow
[09:18] <vijay> hello
[09:18] <dstaudt> Harkonnen20, 'sudo mount -o uid=username,gid=username /dev/hda1 /mnt/point'
[09:19] <Pensacola> how to remove the usb stick icons from the desktop?
[09:19] <naphelge> is there a way to check a cd once it is burned to verify it is a-ok? like an md5sum check for burned cd's type thing
[09:19] <Harkonnen20> so "sudo mkdir /media/win" then that command?
[09:19] <DARKGuy> hm, anybody? :/
[09:20] <Harkonnen20> can the username have spaces
[09:20] <jasin> Pensacola, eject the usb drive
[09:20] <Pensacola> without ejecting the usb drive :)
[09:20] <dstaudt> Harkonnen20, it's your ubuntu login name, so i think not..?
[09:20] <Harkonnen20> well the ubuntu login name is just ubuntu
[09:20] <jasin> Pensacola, they automount when the usb stick is inserted
[09:21] <naphelge> Pensacola... umount the usb do a df & make sure it unmounted then yank it... icon should disappear
[09:21] <jasin> Pensacola, ejecting it will unmount it, right click on teh drive .. select eject
[09:21] <naphelge> yeah sorry just old habits umounting
[09:23] <Harkonnen20> so 'sudo mkdir /media/win' then 'sudo mount -o uid=ubuntu,gid=ubuntu /dev/hda1 /media/win
[09:23] <heatxsink> has other people had this identical problem as myself with the nvidia drivers?
[09:24] <ekaeka> newbieme: after I installed imwheel, it won't function, even after I restarted X
[09:24] <Harkonnen20> dstaudt?
[09:25] <blanky> GRRRRR, I added backports repos to edgy and i still cant find subversion 1.4
[09:25] <blanky> .x
[09:25] <dstaudt> Harkonnen20, yes?
[09:25] <wims> anyone here know about an alarm clock application ?
[09:25] <Harkonnen20> so 'sudo mkdir /media/win' then 'sudo mount -o uid=ubuntu,gid=ubuntu /dev/hda1 /media/win
[09:25] <Harkonnen20> would be the commands i need to use?
[09:25] <labanux> can I change ubuntu logo in Application icon?
[09:25] <dstaudt> Harkonnen20, yep...or thereabounts :)
[09:25] <blanky> labanux: there's a tutorial on that
[09:26] <blanky> labanux: I think at ubuntuforums.org
[09:26] <dstaudt> Harkonnen20, 'man mount' to read the manual pages for the command
[09:26] <Harkonnen20> well i can mount it in /home or whatever also right?
[09:26] <dstaudt> Harkonnen20, guess so
[09:26] <labanux> blanky: ok... thanx for the clue
[09:26] <mvfeinstein> Can anyone here help me get direct render enabled? I have gone through some directions online but cant seem to get it enabled
[09:26] <ekaeka> Harkonnen20: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#Windows
[09:27] <Harkonnen20> hmm now i don't know what to believe anymore
[09:28] <dstaudt> Harkonnen20, from what I understand, the contents of that link will work as well
[09:28] <dstaudt> just gives read-only to everyone, instead of just to one user
[09:28] <Harkonnen20> oh its just a different way
[09:29] <ekaeka> also it would mount it on boot up, not just one time, if you follow the correct instructions
[09:29] <Harkonnen20> live cd
[09:30] <ekaeka> I meant on boot up of an ubuntu partition, not live cd
[09:31] <Pensacola> well I want to keep my usb drive mounted, but not visible on the desktop
[09:32] <newbieme> pensacola, run gconf-editor
[09:32] <newbieme> there's an option somewhere for something like "mounted media icons" on the desktop or something
[09:32] <newbieme> just uncheck it
[09:33] <spongebob354> I'm using Ubuntu Edgy AMD64 Azureus runs and then dies with this output: http://pastebin.com/852547
[09:33] <Pensacola> is that in the desktop section newbieme?
[09:33] <newbieme> um...i'd assume so
[09:34] <newbieme> i can look in a second and check
[09:34] <Pensacola> thx
[09:34] <ekaeka> newbieme: after I installed imwheel, it won't function, even after I restarted X
[09:36] <newbieme> @ekaeka--there's some config file you have to change, and a script to run
[09:37] <newbieme> i don't know it--google for imwheel ubuntu scroll or something

[10:19] <newbieme> vleon-- it really depends on the program
[10:19] <newbieme> GOOD programs should just be a 3 step process

[10:28] <freakabcd> dapper -> edgy going on now.. hopefully everything works out
[10:28] <Aar0n444> No one cares about /b/
[10:28] <xip> I get an error when upgrading to dapper can someone help me
[10:28] <freakabcd> xip, upgrading _to_ dapper? from breezy ?
[10:29] <xip> yes
[10:29] <imbecile> newbieme,  is that all?
[10:29] <TwistesdTexan> abud: timeout		3 is what I did because 10 secs is too looong
[10:30] <xip> on the upgrading to ubuntu 6.06 LTS window
[10:30] <newbieme> yeah
[10:30] <newbieme> should be it
[10:30] <TwistesdTexan> sorry adub: didn't want to insult you
[10:30] <xip> it stops and says "could not calculate the upgrade"
[10:30] <cyphase> I'm online, but I can't access the web..
[10:30] <xip> and thats it
[10:30] <imbecile> newbieme,  thanks alot
[10:30] <xip> doesnt continue
[10:30] <newbieme> yep
[10:31] <cyphase> it's as if http has been disabled
[10:31] <adub> hi everyone
[10:31] <xip> freakabcd, any idea?
[10:32] <freakabcd> xip, sorry man. you
[10:32] <freakabcd> 're quite brave going from breezy -> dapper
[10:32] <xip> why
[10:32] <TwistesdTexan> adub: I guess you could change the timer setting to 0. But that would change it where you couldn't access a safe mode.
[10:32] <freakabcd> cos i've heard that it doesn;t work too well.
[10:32] <freakabcd> and i myself hope i don;t have much problems after the upgrade finishes
[10:33] <xip> well i followed the instructions exactly
[10:34] <adub> twistesdtexan i would think 0 would just make it automatically load up linux
[10:34] <TwistesdTexan> adub did you make the change yet?
[10:35] <deepsa> plzz help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=332472
[10:35] <adub> twistesdtexan no sorry i havent what if i comment that line out??
[10:35] <adub> i just dont want to screw up grub to beyond no return
[10:35] <xip> im wondering if I should upgrade just like I've been doing before dapper
[10:35] <xip> instead of using upgrade manager
[10:36] <threeonefour> where do i find scanner drivers for edubuntu
[10:36] <newbieme> xip - the only real way to upgrade without problems is do install ubuntu fresh
[10:36] <TwistesdTexan> I thinnk it would skip the timer but the timer give you access to another safe mode. ie different kernal
[10:36] <adub> i dont want to think with grub though and screw it up
[10:37] <adub> and not be able to boot my OS
[10:37] <xip> newbieme, well i would do that but I only have a warty cd
[10:38] <TwistesdTexan> If you upgrade then you might need to go back to another kernal and no timer wouldn't allow you to do that
[10:38] <TwistesdTexan> Mine has kept the timer since the change in breezy
[10:38] <xip> well im using synaptic to upgrade to dapper
[10:38] <xip> maybe it will work
[10:41] <TwistesdTexan> even though I am on a 3 gig hzs machine it doesn't like to run anything but 386 kernal. I have tried to change to x86 and nogo. I used grub to go back.
[10:42] <Aar0n444> What the fuck is wrong with this

[10:54] <deepsa> plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz help
[10:54] <ColinT> Can somone help me with setting up an E-Mail account with evelution?
[10:54] <Ferret> deepsa: Look for a newer version of alsa-driver; or if you're making a custom kernel, use the driver that are in the kernel itself
[10:55] <Aar0n444> threeonefour I've only just installed it, it's no hassle
[10:55] <Ferret> deepsa: And yeah, slightly wrong channel
[10:55] <deepsa> Ferret: kernel is bad
[10:55] <andytof47> hi i am trying to install fglrx and get an error telling me the driver is not compatible with Xorg 7.1 anyone able to help
[10:55] <deepsa> i wanna out alsa from kernel Ferret
[10:55] <cyphase> hmm.. my router was sending me DNS replies on weird ports
[10:55] <mvfeinstein> Can anyone tell me how I can fix this error  Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0"
[10:56] <cyphase> i had to go to another computer and find another dns server
[10:56] <threeonefour> cyphase, whitch ports
[10:56] <andytof47> anyone please
[10:56] <Ferret> deepsa: Guess what happens when you do that?  When something in the kernel changes, the outside version stops compiling, which is one of the reasons *why* alsa is in the kernel.  Guess what's happening in your case?  Wow, really?
[10:57] <cyphase> threeonefour, it was a different port everytime i ran dig
[10:57] <cyphase> lemme see..
[10:57] <deepsa> Ferret: see my kernel has alsa but it doesnt detect the card.
[10:57] <Ferret> deepsa: See if there's a newer version which doesn't try to use the deprecated config.h
[10:57] <andytof47> hi i am trying to install fglrx and get an error telling me the driver is not compatible with Xorg 7.1 anyone able to help
[10:57] <deepsa> Ferret: i posted in the forum too http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=332472.
[10:57] <cyphase> threeonefour: it's 389 now, but it also tried 35, 223, etc
[10:58] <Ferret> deepsa: That's the hda, right?
[10:58] <threeonefour> cyphase, thats weird     go to #threeonefour
[10:58] <deepsa> Ferret: ya snd-hda-intel
[10:58] <threeonefour> this channel is for ubuntu only
[10:59] <Ferret> deepsa: Well, that's a very common module, I doubt that you'd need to compile your own version of alsa-driver to get it
[10:59] <deepsa> Ferret: is this the latest version of alsa? ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.9rc4a.tar.bz2

[11:01] <ruschi> I can create it manualy
[11:01] <ruschi> and it works perfectly

[11:01] <ruschi> and after every reboot the devicenode is gone
[11:01] <ColinT> Can someone help me setting up Evelution E-mail?
[11:01] <ruschi> How can I ger udev to create this device
[11:02] <ruschi> or do you use other workarounds
[11:02] <Ferret> deepsa: In alsamixer, did you remember to press 'm' to unmute your card?  It may have been working perfectly but muted
[11:02] <ruschi> I could put "mknod /dev/orcomm0 c 161 0" in /etc/rc.local - but that doesn't see mvery "professional"
[11:02] <deepsa> Ferret: alsamixer not open give error no sound card present say
[11:03] <Ferret> deepsa: When you disable your modem it works, it says.
[11:03] <deepsa> ya it get detected but no output

[11:06] <jal0xFF> * to open it?
[11:06] <mena> deepsa, hahh old....okay
[11:06] <Ferret> ruschi: If udev is picking it up at all, it should be creating a device node somewhere...
[11:07] <ruschi> how do I know whether udev is picking it up?
[11:07] <deepsa> helppppppp sound not working here
[11:07] <Ferret> ruschi: see if you can find it with ls -lR /dev | grep 161 (grrr find can't search major numbers)
[11:07] <fleischwurst_> HELLLP
[11:07] <fleischwurst_> I GOT SEGFAULT
[11:07] <fleischwurst_> WHEN UBUNTU STARTING
[11:07] <deepsa> lol
[11:07] <fleischwurst_> HOW TO FIXX??
[11:07] <deepsa> fleischwurst_: use vista
[11:08] <mena> lol
[11:08] <Toma-> what is segfaulting?
[11:08] <Olathe> fleischwurst_, did you just now install Ubuntu ?
[11:08] <fleischwurst_> noooo
[11:08] <Olathe> Toma-, it's when a program starts throwing rocks at other programs.
[11:08] <fleischwurst_> how to fix??????
[11:08] <Toma-> sigh.
[11:09] <Toma-> WHAT is segfaulting. I know what it is, but what program is doing it?
[11:09] <xst> In /etc/fstab I have added "noauto" as mount option but still, the mount point is beeing mounted automatically upon boot. Why? And how can I fix it?
[11:09] <ruschi> nope - the devicenodes with major 161 have all a creation time 3 minutes ago when I manually created /dev/ircomm0
[11:09] <fleischwurst_> segmentation fault!!!
[11:09] <pradeep> fleischwurst_, at what point do you see this segfault?
[11:09] <deepsa> lol
[11:09] <fleischwurst_> eth
[11:09] <fleischwurst_> wehn i start eth
[11:09] <Ferret> ruschi: The kernel tells udev all the details on what to create through sysfs and kernel events, but udev is rarely configured to 'drop' device nodes completely.  If udev doesn't know about them they just get created in som default location -- so I suspect in your case udev simply isn't getting poked by the kernel about it (possibly because these ircomm devices aren't supported by hotplug)
[11:09] <fleischwurst_> eneme yterritory hack
[11:09] <fleischwurst_> doesnt work anymore!!!!! :((((((((((((8
[11:09] <ruschi> all other devicenodes have creation time at boottime
[11:09] <Toma-> fleischwurst_: ok, youll need to disable your onboard LAN i suspect...
[11:09] <fleischwurst_> what nopW????
[11:09] <fleischwurst_> whhy??
[11:10] <deepsa> fleischwurst_: format
[11:10] <Toma-> fleischwurst_: youve probably busted the config for it.
[11:10] <Toma-> also,

[11:10] <ruschi> @Ferret: How would I do a workaround?
[11:10] <ruschi> just do static node cration with mknod?
[11:10] <fleischwurst_> lol :p
[11:10] <fleischwurst_> that was funny though :)
[11:10] <mena> deepsa, you dont answer me ..plz
[11:11] <ruschi> @ferret: or is there a "professional solution to this?
[11:11] <habeeb> Hello! Is there a program that can automaticaly download the newest episodes of the shows I'm RSS subscribed
[11:11] <Ferret> ruschi: Does it all work fine when you create them manually?

[11:35] <urakaipa> hi there :) I have a problem with buggy software... sometimes one of these freeze and start to fill up all the ram. Is it possibile to set the maximum amount of ram for each process? I mean like set up the process priority
[11:35] <abhinay> andytof47_, sudo aptitude install xorg=7.0
[11:35] <kane77> anybody has problems with flash after upgrade to firefox 2.0.0.1??

[11:36] <andytof47_> abhinay : Couldn't find package "xorg", and more than 40
[11:38] <urakaipa> kane77 but nice can just set up the priority. How can I set the max amount of ram?
[11:40] <psynth> is there no taskbar type thing in edgy ?
[11:40] <psynth> or ubuntu in general for that matter ?
[11:41] <vleon> can anyone give me an explanation of how to extract ace archive files?
[11:41] <threeonefour> psynth, do you meant a mini terminal
[11:41] <hastesaver> psynth: don't you see one at the top-right? (in GNOME)
[11:41] <kane77> thats strange I had firefox 2.0 installed and now suddenly in "about" box it says 1.5.0.9
[11:43] <urakaipa> vleon i think you need the ace support, try installing unace package with apt-get install unace
[11:43] <vleon> can you give me the exact command?
[11:43] <vleon> sudo apt-get install unace ?
[11:44] <urakaipa> vleon yes. after that i think you can open the .ace archives with file-roller
[11:45] <vleon> i actually wanted to open them with archive manager, is it possible?
[11:45] <break_> quick question
[11:45] <break_> ubuntu is only a single cd, right?
[11:45] <vleon> yes
[11:45] <break_> good
[11:45] <break_> i found it
[11:45] <break_> haha
[11:46] <urakaipa> vleon yes, that is file-roller
[11:46] <kane77> thats strange I had firefox 2.0 installed and now suddenly in "about" box it says 1.5.0.9 why?? I want my firefox2 back!! :(
[11:46] <vleon> well its strange the extantion is installed and yet i cant open the ace files
[11:46] <break_> is there only one version of ubuntu 6.06
[11:46] <vleon> no
[11:46] <vleon> the latest version is 6.10
[11:46] <break_> 6.061
[11:47] <break_> i know
[11:47] <break_> edgy
[11:47] <break_> this is dapper
[11:47] <vleon> oh im sorry
[11:47] <break_> has it been changed at all
[11:47] <break_> let me rephrase that
[11:47] <ikonia> break_: there is stable - which is 6.0.6 with long term support and 6.10 with community support
[11:47] <break_> has dapper been changed at all in the past 6 months
[11:47] <break_> the cd image you can download
[11:47] <ikonia> yes there is 6.0.6.1
[11:47] <break_> thats what i have, good
[11:48] <break_> just wondering if this cd is outdated or not
[11:48] <ikonia> this information is on the ubuntu website
[11:48] <ikonia> check there for basic information
[11:48] <break_> its a quick question, saves some time
[11:48] <break_> i knew somebody in here would know
[11:48] <ikonia> its on the main page
[11:48] <ikonia> thats quicker
[11:48] <break_> back to labeling this massive pile of burned cd's
[11:48] <break_> haha
[11:50] <vleon> well its strange the extantion is installed and yet i cant open the ace files
[11:52] <urakaipa> vleon you are right... I never had ace archive but now that i tried it's true, it's not possibile to open them
[11:52] <psynth> hasteserver: If I for example close my amarok so that it minimizes to taskbar I can't see the Icon appearing anywhere ?
[11:52] <vleon> well then what should i do ? :\
[11:54] <psynth> And I tryed to use the Add to panel but cant find anything there ? Some on here know how to get the taskbar showing ?
[11:54] <|Sora|> Can someone guide me to installing vmaware tools in ubuntu iso image in vmware workstation, thanks
[11:54] <kane77> thats strange I had firefox 2.0 installed and now suddenly in "about" box it says 1.5.0.9 why?? I want my firefox2 back!! :(
[11:54] <metres> Hi all, do someone knoe why adept manager display square instead of ''..?
[11:54] <kane77> psynth, what do you mean by taskbar?
[11:55] <psynth> amarok closed by pressing the X button of the windows normally minimizes it and keeps still playing ? but I cant se any icon anywhere after its minimized ?
[11:55] <ikonia> kane77: you said that about 2 minutes ago
[11:55] <ikonia> exactly the same line

[11:57] <|Sora|> im new at this
[11:58] <psynth> kane77: you catch my drift ?
[11:58] <ikonia> |Sora|: whats the problem
[11:58] <kane77> |Sora|, whats the problem?
[11:58] <kane77> psynth, what do you mean by taskbar??
[11:58] <urakaipa> vleon it could be that your .ace archive was made with a recent version of ace tool, and unace is too old
[11:58] <|Sora|> Can someone guide me to installing vmaware tools in ubuntu iso image in vmware workstation, thanks
[11:59] <|Sora|> i have it mounted in the ubuntu image

[12:02] <ikonia> |Sora|: you can't install vware onto a machine running in a virtual machine
[12:02] <sleepy495> thanks
[12:02] <|Sora|> im using virtual space
[12:02] <|Sora|> or whatevre its called
[12:02] <hjmills> |Sora|: but that would be like running a virtual machine on a virtual machine...
[12:02] <ikonia> metres: /join #beryl or #ubuntu-xgl
[12:02] <ikonia> |Sora|: you can't do that
[12:02] <|Sora|> well, i have it mounted
[12:02] <ikonia> |Sora|: you can't do that
[12:02] <|Sora|> i have vmware tools mounted inside an image
[12:03] <ikonia> |Sora|: you can't do that
[12:03] <|Sora|> i jsut need ot install it
[12:03] <hjmills> |Sora|: is ubuntu installed on a virtual machine?
[12:03] <|Sora|> no, live cd
[12:03] <ikonia> |Sora|: you can't do that
[12:03] <hjmills> |Sora|: and you want to install it?
[12:03] <|Sora|> sp i need ot install it in the virtual machine, only then i cna install vmware tools?
[12:03] <|Sora|> so*
[12:03] <ikonia> hjmills: he wants to install vmware onto the live cd, then install the livecd into the virtual machines
[12:04] <ikonia> |Sora|: you can't do that
[12:04] <hjmills> ikonia: but then when you reboot you lose everything - its just mad
[12:04] <ikonia> hjmills: I know - thats why I'm saying "you can't do that"
[12:04] <|Sora|> let me try installing ubuntu in vmware
[12:04] <hjmills> ikonia: yeah - crazy!
[12:05] <lupine_85> could install it onto a USB key drive easily enough
[12:05] <hjmills> |Sora|: you need vmware installed on a pc (not using a live cd) before you can install ubuntu on the virtual machine
[12:05] <ikonia> lupine_85: nope, as the vmare install wouldn't be present on the livecd when he rebooted
[12:05] <lupine_85> it's do-able
[12:05] <|Sora|> i think you guys have it wrong
[12:05] <|Sora|> i have vmware installed in windows
[12:05] <lupine_85> with some $PREFIX magickery, everything is do-able :)
[12:06] <lupine_85> I'd put /opt as the kde drive, install vmware to that, and mount --bind the dir containing the kernel module
[12:06] <|Sora|> now what im doing it running ubuntu image in vmware, but i dont have ubuntu installed in the image
[12:06] <ikonia> |Sora|: click the "install" icon on the desktop
[12:07] <mvfeinstein> Can anyone here help me I am having trouble getting direct render to work on my system (ATI X850 XT & Edgy)
[12:07] <ba5e> |Sora|: you can get ready installed VMWare images
[12:07] <|Sora|> yes ikonia, doing that as we speak
[12:07] <jamiehd> Hi
[12:07] <ikonia> |Sora|: so whats the problem ?
[12:08] <|Sora|> i wanted to install vmware "tools" on a live cd, seems thats not possible
[12:08] <ikonia> yes, thats correct
[12:09] <ba5e> |Sora|: should be, its just a rpm/gz mounted fs - you might need alien
[12:10] <aeromix> hi.. I have this line written in crontab : * * * * * sh /home/au/cron/iesss.sh but the script actually doesn't starty any time?! any clue?
[12:10] <Kryptor`> with courier-imap it wont let me create root folders with outlook/outlook express but i can create subfolders of the inbox. i am using it with postfix on debian. Has anyone experianced this issue?
[12:11] <jamiehd> Whenever I trt
[12:11] <hjmills> aeromix: that means run every second of every min of every hour of every etc...
[12:11] <ikonia> aeromix: thats because you've told it to start every second of every day and you've entered the command as "sh" not "sh /home/au/cron/iesssh"
[12:11] <jamiehd> I'll start again...
[12:11] <ikonia> Kryptor`: this is ubuntu - not debian support, /join #debian
[12:11] <jamiehd> Whenever I log into MSN on Gaim, it instantly closes as soon as I sign in. Any ideas?
[12:11] <aeromix> hjmills: every minute, not?
[12:11] <nimbo> hooray ubuntu! my mouse doesn't work anymore after installing the latest updates
[12:12] <hjmills> aeromix: well it will run all the time - do u really want that?
[12:12] <Kryptor`> ikonia ubuntu and debian are similar :P
[12:12] <ikonia> aeromix: you've told it to run every second of every minute ofevery day
[12:12] <ikonia> Kryptor`: but not the same - and this is #ubuntu support not debian
[12:12] <ikonia> there is a #debian channel for debian
[12:12] <aeromix> hjmills: actually I wanted that to run every 3 minutes but after I got to know it doesn't run I changed it to better control if it already runs
[12:12] <Kryptor`> ok
[12:13] <ikonia> aeromix: https://wiki.ubuntu.com - read up on cron
[12:13] <jamiehd> Whenever I log into MSN on Gaim, it instantly closes as soon as I sign in. Any ideas?
[12:14] <hjmills> aeromix: use */3 and is the sh <filename> all on one line?
[12:14] <ikonia> jamiehd: saw you when you typed it 60 seconds ago
[12:14] <jamiehd> sorry
[12:14] <ikonia> hjmills: he'll have to quote it or it will just launch sh and exit
[12:14] <ReG_> .
[12:14] <jamiehd> But it went off screen, and I wasn't sure if anyone had noticed
[12:14] <ikonia> why not make the script executable and drop the "sh"
[12:14] <hjmills> nimbo: totally broken or just whacky sensitivity?
[12:14] <nimbo> totally broken

[12:15] <jamiehd> I''ll have a look
[12:15] <hjmills> nimbo: hmm - check the xorg config and see what was upgraded
[12:15] <jamiehd> Thank you
[12:15] <aeromix> hjmills: yep
[12:15] <hjmills> aeromix: what is the script? pastebin it if u can
[12:15] <ctqucl> who knows how can I use the windows key(between alt and ctrl
[12:15] <ctqucl> ) in gconf-edit?
[12:15] <aeromix> hjmills: ok w8
[12:15] <ikonia> hjmills: it appears xorg 7.1.1 has quite a few issuse with the autodetection in edgy
[12:16] <nimbo> nothing i guess
[12:16] <aeromix> hjmills: http://pastebin.sk/517/
[12:16] <ikonia> I've got a mouse problem after a clean install of edgy - but the upgrade from 6.0.6 to 6.10 was fine as 6.0.6 put all the details in xorg.conf for me so it didn't have to autodetect
[12:16] <aeromix> hjmills: it works ok if I run it normally
[12:17] <ikonia> aeromix: because your cron setup is wrong
[12:17] <ctqucl> such as <Alt>F1  in gconf-edit,how can I use the key between ctrl and alt.
[12:17] <aeromix> ikonia: what should I do?
[12:17] <hjmills> aeromix: are you using your crontab or roots?
[12:17] <ikonia> aeromix: I've told you 3 times the problems
[12:17] <aeromix> hjmills: crontab
[12:18] <Cyvros> good evening, all.
[12:18] <Cyvros> Good*
[12:18] <p3rra_> Please help, it works to do things as a root with "sudo some-command" but i can't login as root :(
[12:18] <urakaipa> How can I set the maximum amount of ram for a process?
[12:18] <aeromix> ikonia: I did everything according ti your advices but it doesn't work yet..
[12:18] <hjmills> aeromix: do what ikonia said and make it executable and dont use sh
[12:18] <hjmills> so the cron line is * * * * * /path/to/script.sh
[12:18] <aeromix> hjmills: it is already exectuable
[12:18] <hjmills> aeromix: then dont use sh in front of it
[12:19] <hjmills> aeromix: should it be running in your home dir?
[12:19] <ikonia> why is he still using * * * * *
[12:19] <ikonia> aeromix: show me the output of crontab -l
[12:19] <Cyvros> Would anyone be able to help me install Enlightenment?
[12:19] <hjmills> ikonia: because he wants to be plagued by xmessage?

[12:20] <ikonia> Cyvros: thats not what I said, I said I don't think ubuntu has a package for it

[12:21] <SimonL> Morning all
[12:21] <Cyvros> ikonia: I have found some methods involving sudo apt-get install enlightenment (or some such).
[12:22] <ikonia> Cyvros: so there is an enlightenment package then
[12:22] <|Sora|> ikonia, ok finished installing, and now i jsut updated ubuntu by installing updates, is there a need ot restart?
[12:22] <Cyvros> ikonia: I'm not sure, but I think it's more of a "was"... It shows up in Synaptic all right, but it just says there's nothing actually there.
[12:22] <SimonL> Can anyone help me with a screen resolution problem, my monitor uses 1440 * 900 resolution, it works perfect in Windows, but the resolutions in linux dont go that high by default.
[12:22] <ikonia> |Sora|: read basic usage docs on http://www.ubuntu.com and https://wiki.ubuntu.com
[12:23] <ikonia> Cyvros: if it lists as a package - its there
[12:23] <|Sora|> i cna oyu that, or you can tell me :)
[12:23] <SimonL> On the forums, some others had a problem, but they didn't solve them there, or not in a way I understood, thanks :D
[12:23] <Cyvros> ikonia: Hang on, I'll pull out the message it spits out.
[12:23] <ikonia> |Sora|: no - read the basic docs
[12:24] <aeromix> hjmills: yes, it should be running in my home dir. my username is au
[12:24] <|Sora|> =/
[12:24] <nimbo> how can i reverse the latest update packages?
[12:24] <Cyvros> ikonia: Here we go. http://pastebin.com/852599
[12:24] <|Sora|> something wrong nimbo?
[12:24] <SimonL> anyone willing to help me :)
[12:25] <nimbo> yeah?
[12:25] <ikonia> nimbo: you'd have to re-install the old version
[12:25] <|Sora|> why didn't you tell me this before, i jsut updated, darn
[12:25] <nimbo> so is there a log file?
[12:25] <ikonia> Cyvros: there is no package there
[12:25] <Cyvros> ikonia: Ah. Could it be my sources list?
[12:25] <ikonia> |Sora|: just because it effect nimbo doesn't mean it will you, you may not even have the same packages installed
[12:25] <Cyvros> ikonia: As in a problem with it.
[12:25] <ikonia> Cyvros: no - the package has been removed
[12:25] <|Sora|> ok ikonia
[12:26] <Cyvros> ikonia: Damn.
[12:26] <Cyvros> ikonia: Thanks, anyway.
[12:26] <ikonia> no problem
[12:26] <ReG_> i have a trouble with opengl based xscreensavers, some are not correctly displayed
[12:26] <Cyvros> I'll probably just wait until Elbuntu is released. :D
[12:26] <nimbo> so where is the log file which shows what update packages has been installed at the latest?
[12:27] <deepsa> which package has this checking for libasound headers version >= 1.0.12... not present.
[12:27] <ikonia> nimbo: dpkg.log
[12:27] <nimbo> thx
[12:27] <ikonia> deepsa: are you trying to run a "configure" script
[12:27] <deepsa> ya
[12:27] <Impatient> Hi, I need some help disabling the feature that makes ubuntu not write the changes to disk until it unmounts..
[12:27] <ikonia> then you should know what your doing - before compiling source packages outside of ubuntu support
[12:27] <deepsa> ikonia: man tell me i am expert
[12:28] <ikonia> Impatient: I'm not aware of that feature
[12:28] <SeraVitae> Impatient - maybe look around to disable write caching.
[12:28] <ikonia> deepsa: doesn't look like it
[12:28] <SeraVitae> check automount stuff.
[12:28] <ikonia> deepsa: no disrespect intended
[12:28] <deepsa> ikonia: i wanna detect sound in ubut
[12:28] <dv5237> what are source repositories?
[12:28] <Impatient> ikonia: weird, it's default on my installation (Edgy eft)
[12:28] <ikonia> Impatient: it maybe on mine, just not aware of it
[12:29] <deepsa> ikonia: dude can u help detect sound in ubutun
[12:29] <Impatient> ok
[12:29] <Ber1> peps, I need some help installing my wireless
[12:29] <SimonL> anyone know how to change the resolution out of the default ones?
[12:29] <Ber1> anyone could help?
[12:29] <ikonia> deepsa: what do you mean "detect" sound
[12:29] <ikonia> SimonL: https://wiki.ubuntu.com search for xorg resolution
[12:29] <deepsa> ikonia: i mean no sound coming out
[12:29] <SimonL> thanks :D
[12:29] <ikonia> deepsa: so why are you compiling software to fix that ?
[12:29] <deepsa> ikonia: i wanna test
[12:29] <ikonia> test what ?
[12:30] <deepsa> osund outut
[12:30] <SimonL> maybe its your sound card deepsa
[12:30] <ikonia> so why do you need to build software for that ?
[12:30] <deepsa> sound output*
[12:30] <SimonL> I know my new one i bought for windows wont work in linux, because the drivers arent out yet
[12:30] <deepsa> i need software like madplay to play music
[12:30] <ikonia> deepsa: no you do'nt - xmms, totem, soundjuicer - all play music
[12:31] <ikonia> and many others
[12:31] <deepsa> ikonia: they r not playing sound
[12:31] <SimonL> they play colours? :)
[12:31] <ikonia> deepsa: so what does that tell you, either all the software is broke , or your sound card isn't working/configured
[12:31] <Impatient> about sound support, I have one computer with one soundcard that only works in windows and one that only works in linux..
[12:31] <ikonia> how will building ANOTHER audio player help/fix

[12:51] <SimonL> isnt there a way to type, sudo resolution 1440 * 900
[12:51] <SimonL> or something easy :P
[12:52] <SimonL> only had linux 2 days, only want the right resolution :P
[12:52] <bef> Hmm
[12:52] <k_vv> hello... i just wanna ask where in ubuntu can I change my network settings ? in which file in /etc ?
[12:53] <levander> SimonL: System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution
[12:53] <SimonL> nah lev, it doesn't go high enough :(
[12:53] <SimonL> I need 1440 * 900
[12:53] <Tomcat_> k_vv: System => Admin => Network, or /etc/network/interfaces
[12:53] <levander> SimonL: you need to reconfigure X-Windows then, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[12:53] <k_vv> Tomcat_:ok thx man :) very helpful ;)
[12:53] <oldab> hi! when i connect the computer with the tv via svhs, i only get a black screen. Where can i activate the svhs-out?
[12:54] <vect0rx> so i have an lcd tv that goes 1360x768, and a laptop that i'm trying to get xorg to output to it with
[12:54] <vect0rx> laptop is a dell inspiron 1100, (gfx card Intel 845G, driver=i810)
[12:54] <SimonL> did that alrdy
[12:54] <SimonL> it said i need to enter my gfx card in binary terms or something
[12:54] <SimonL> so i looked on the page it gave to find it out
[12:54] <SimonL> but it didn't make sense to me
[12:55] <levander> SimonL: in "binary terms", I've never seen that, don't even know what it means
[12:55] <SimonL> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[12:55] <levander> SimonL: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't even install xgl i don't think
[12:55] <|Sora|> ok, how come when i try to install this it wont come up, it has a lokc in the icon, the name is 'vmware-install.pl"
[12:55] <levander> SimonL: that only happens when you install hardware acceleration
[12:55] <levander> SimonL: which video card do you have?
[12:56] <SimonL> Nvidia GeForce 7800GT i think
[12:56] <SimonL> 256
[12:56] <oldab> all: how can i activate the svhs-out?
[12:56] <BigToe> Firefox never remembers the printing paper size/border settings, how do I make it keep them?
[12:56] <levander> SimonL: if it doesn't recognize your video card, just choose the driver "nv" from the list it provides, that's the open source nvidia driver.  You can install hardware acceleration later if you want.
[12:57] <SimonL> ok cool lemme try
[12:57] <bef> Query: Just installed a program successfully, shows in menu however execution loads nada, nothing happens :O
[12:57] <levander> SimonL: When you said gfx, I thought you meant glx.  By gfx, did you mean GeForce?
[12:57] <|Sora|> ok, how come when i try to install this it wont come up, it has a lock in the icon, the name is 'vmware-install.pl"
[12:57] <SimonL> yeah
[12:57] <SimonL> i said gfx :P
[12:58] <SimonL> i meant graphics
[12:58] <levander> SimonL:  you provide a name and choose a driver for your graphics card, the name doesn't really matter, it's just what your card is called in xorg.conf, you can call it anything
[12:58] <levander> SimonL: You could name it Sue and it would still work.
[12:58] <SimonL> haha
[12:58] <sexcopter8000> i'm trying to change the synaptic network settings from going through a proxy to a direct connection, but it just maxes out the processor and is inoperable. is there some config file i can get to manually?
[12:58] <SimonL> it comes up with this
[12:58] <SimonL> i will pm it cos its like 10 lines
[12:58] <bef> Query: Just installed a program successfully, shows in menu however execution loads nada, nothing happens :O - any ideas?
[12:58] <levander> SimonL: You get the Johnny Cash reference in that last comment, or your too young?
[12:58] <SimonL> i got it :)
[12:59] <interfear> hi.. if i go to software updates via the gnome system menu -> software updates, it will open a box, but its just all grey with nothing in it..anyone know what this could be?

[12:59] <BigToe> Firefox 1.5.0.8 never remembers the printing paper size/border settings, how do I make it keep them?
[12:59] <SimonL> cant spell that word :P
[12:59] <SimonL> bigtoe, how often do you print with FF?
[12:59] <BigToe> depends
[12:59] <|Sora|> someone help
[01:00] <BigToe> some days I print two or three jobs a day
[01:00] <bef> BigToe you can make a keyset response to make selections
[01:00] <BigToe> some days I don't do any at all
[01:00] <SimonL> ah k
[01:00] <BigToe> bef, a what? :P
[01:00] <SimonL> try googling it :P
[01:00] <bef> im not sure how to code it for a GNU
[01:00] <BigToe> I wonder if upgrading to FF 2 would help...
[01:00] <bef> though you can setup something which reads as a plugin to FF
[01:01] <bef> and if you hit a key in the print setup, it choses your preset options
[01:01] <BigToe> ah
[01:01] <bef> other than that, FF2 is more likely to remember the "last-used"
[01:01] <bef> rather than resetting, so give that a try
[01:01] <Shi> hi

[01:07] <sexcopter8000> for anyone interested i found the file in /root/.synaptic/synaptic.conf and have managed to change the proxy settngs
[01:07] <interfear> SimonL: http://home.comcast.net/~interfear/ss.jpg

[01:08] <sacater> BigToe:good
[01:08] <SimonL> oh weird interfear

[01:08] <sacater> BigToe: now type this exactly
[01:08] <interfear> rebooting
[01:08] <interfear> no..
[01:08] <interfear> ill try that now..
[01:08] <SimonL> lol
[01:08] <hjmills> |Sora|: a lock means you dont own the file - use chown or chmod
[01:08] <SimonL> always try that :D
[01:08] <|Sora|> how do i do this?
[01:09] <Shi> chmod it
[01:09] <Shi> or chown
[01:09] <|Sora|> when i right clikc, open in termal, the termal opens and closes rihgt away
[01:09] <sacater> BigToe 'tar -zxvf *packagename* .tar.gz'      replace 'package name with package name lol
[01:09] <kuzmaster> hello everyone
[01:09] <SimonL> hi
[01:09] <hjmills> |Sora|: open a terminal and run "sudo chown `echo $USER` /path/to/that/file.pl"
[01:09] <BigToe> er, back
[01:09] <BigToe> :S sorry
[01:09] <Shi> chown sora:sora vmware-install.pl while you're root
[01:09] <BigToe> so what do I type now?
[01:09] <welp> BigToe: 13:14 < sacater> BigToe 'tar -zxvf *packagename* .tar.gz'      replace 'package name with package name lol
[01:10] <BigToe> thanks welp
[01:10] <hjmills> |Sora|: the echo $USER bit just inserts your username but dont forget the backticks around it (key next to 1)
[01:10] <SimonL> this resolution gives me a headache :(
[01:10] <kuzmaster> so, i just downloaded and burnt ubuntu 6.10, i boot into it, and test it out, off the livecd......
[01:10] <hjmills> SimonL: change it?
[01:10] <kuzmaster> but i checked to see if the wireless would work
[01:10] <SimonL> no one seems to know how
[01:10] <SimonL> lol
[01:10] <kuzmaster> as thats my only internet connection
[01:10] <hjmills> SimonL: in gnome?
[01:10] <kuzmaster> and it diddnt work
[01:10] <SimonL> ubuntu
[01:10] <SimonL> i can change it to the ones it gives
[01:10] <BigToe> welp, you know that's done exactly what I've already done... :P
[01:10] <SimonL> but non are right
[01:10] <SimonL> cos its widescreen
[01:10] <hjmills> SimonL: ok - that uses gnome - but you want a different resolution?
[01:10] <kuzmaster> but, it worked fine in 6.06...
[01:10] <interfear> SimonL: reboot :)
[01:10] <SimonL> 1440 * 900
[01:11] <SimonL> haha interfear :D
[01:11] <muad> does feisty have beryl?
[01:11] <hjmills> interfear: that wont help
[01:11] <SimonL> he knows mills, thats what i told him to do :P
[01:11] <interfear> yeh it worked
[01:11] <interfear> sweet
[01:11] <SimonL> told ya it would ;P
[01:11] <kuzmaster> can any one please tell me how to get wireless working (i have  ralink card) in ubuntu 6.10
[01:11] <BigToe> sacater, what now?
[01:11] <interfear> now im happy again
[01:11] <interfear> lol
[01:11] <SimonL> :)
[01:11] <hjmills> SimonL: oh ok, lol - try running sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg in a terminal and ill talk you through it
[01:11] <kuzmaster> i havnt yet installed ubuntu, because i wanted to try and get it working in the liveCD
[01:11] <SimonL> k
[01:12] <SimonL> k on it
[01:12] <BigToe> bah, brb
[01:12] <hjmills> kuzmaster: try searching the wiki
[01:12] <hjmills> !wifi | kuzmaster
[01:12] <ubotu> kuzmaster: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[01:12] <kuzmaster> also, when i was in the liveCD, i was seeing 2 wireless devices, wlan0 and wmaster0????? but i only have the one wireless card
[01:13] <lupine_85> kuzmaster: yep
[01:13] <kuzmaster> thanx!
[01:13] <interfear> kuzmaster: they are two of the same devices
[01:13] <interfear> kuzmaster: i have that too
[01:13] <lupine_85> as the name implies, wmaster0 is a master interface
[01:13] <SimonL> and lan is your LAN :D
[01:13] <lupine_85> you use it to create wlan0, then wlan1 if you like as well
[01:13] <lupine_85> all on the same card, of course :)
[01:14] <lupine_85> lets you set up virtual interfaces for monitoring, master, ad-hoc modes, etc
[01:15] <emile> lupine_85: do you know if you can connect to 2 wireless networks at the same time using 1 card (master) and 2 setups (wlan0 wlan1)?
[01:15] <kuzmaster> so, which interface would i use for the internet and stuff?
[01:15] <kuzmaster> wmaster or wlan?
[01:16] <|Sora|> so i do "sudo (location of file)" ?
[01:16] <|Sora|> in terminal
[01:16] <muad> pls!!!
[01:16] <Yon> damn modem :/
[01:17] <bef_ubuntu> hi guys
[01:17] <SimonL> hi
[01:17] <bef_ubuntu> Needing some installation help with a program
[01:17] <bef_ubuntu> will need to send error through query
[01:17] <hjmills> kuzmaster: i would go with wlan0
[01:17] <|Sora|> SimonL?
[01:17] <bef_ubuntu> it's a few lines long
[01:17] <SimonL> hi
[01:17] <kuzmaster> k, thanx
[01:17] <ikonia> bef_ubuntu: stick it in a pastebin
[01:18] <bef_ubuntu> ikonia : what is that :O
[01:18] <ikonia> !pastebin >bef_ubuntu
[01:18] <|Sora|> hjmills, are you here?
[01:18] <hjmills> |Sora| to run as root yes
[01:18] <hjmills> |Sora|: yes
[01:18] <|Sora|> ok, but it failes
[01:18] <hjmills> |Sora|: what does it say?
[01:19] <|Sora|> "Unable to copy source file
[01:19] <SimonL> You do not have access to this folder because, YOU FAIL :P
[01:19] <|Sora|> to destination file
[01:19] <hjmills> |Sora|: what does the program do?
[01:19] <ikonia> |Sora|: what are you trying to do
[01:19] <|Sora|> its vmware tools
[01:19] <|Sora|> install vmware tools
[01:19] <hjmills> |Sora|: from the repos?
[01:19] <bef_ubuntu> Thank you ikonia
[01:19] <ikonia> |Sora|: you can't install vmware tools to an install running within a vmware
[01:19] <bef_ubuntu> Ikonia : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/642/
[01:20] <|Sora|> no, it was a tar, i extracted it, and running vmware-install.pl under sudo
[01:20] <hjmills> |Sora|: is it not in the repos? have u checked multiverse and universe./
[01:20] <ikonia> |Sora|: you can't install vmware tools to an ubuntu install thats running in a virtual machine
[01:20] <|Sora|> ikonia, do you even know what vmware tools are for?
[01:21] <ikonia> bef_ubuntu: what is that program ?
[01:21] <ikonia> |Sora|: yes thanks
[01:21] <SimonL> why isn't linux made easier, then more people would use it :P
[01:21] <bef_ubuntu> Im installing a simple game, graal
[01:21] <ikonia> SimonL: it is easy - people just refuse to read any docs
[01:21] <|Sora|> if you do, then you would knwo it IS possible
[01:21] <kuzmaster> hmmmm..... im currentally going through https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/RalinkRT2500?highlight=%28WifiDocs%2FDriver%29 and it says that ill need "the key (case-sensitive) used to access the access-point; the encryption used for the key"
[01:21] <vvlaw> anybody here use mplayer? there are no xv support to my mplayer ,how to do it?
[01:21] <SimonL> i read loads
[01:21] <kuzmaster> but i dont use any encryption or anything like that
[01:21] <SimonL> it made no sense ;(
[01:21] <ikonia> |Sora|: your obviously just going to do wha tyou want without any clue for what your doing
[01:21] <break_> alright
[01:21] <kuzmaster> so, do i just leave them blank?
[01:21] <SimonL> came up with some error that made no sense
[01:21] <break_> ubuntu is installed!
[01:21] <break_> :D
[01:21] <hjmills> SimonL: thats what ubuntu is trying to do - just remember making it easier doesnt make it more like windows - easier makes it easier to learn when you have no knowledge
[01:22] <ikonia> |Sora|: I didn't mean that - I meant not a clue within a linux environment
[01:22] <Nielsken> xtknight, you can't help me probably
[01:22] <|Sora|> ikonia, now tell me, why would vmware itself, tell me to install vmware tools?
[01:22] <Jowi> vvlaw, try "mplayer -vo xv filename.avi"
[01:22] <SimonL> im just in a mood cos the resolution is giving me a headache
[01:22] <SimonL> lol
[01:22] <hjmills> |Sora|: you need to install vmware tools in the environment that is installed on the physical machine - not inside the virtual machine
[01:22] <ikonia> |Sora|: as per your ealier post your running vmware on a windows platform yes/no ?
[01:22] <ikonia> hjmills: exactly !
[01:23] <bef_ubuntu> ikonia : simply installing a game, permissions set properly on the install and everything ran fine, then when I try to load the program through the menu nothing happens so I threw it in terminal to see what the result is, and it showed these errors in the paste bin http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/642/
[01:23] <hjmills> SimonL: did you do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[01:23] <SimonL> yeah
[01:23] <ikonia> bef_ubuntu: its sef faulting
[01:23] <ikonia> srg faulting
[01:23] <SimonL> check ur pm, i pasted the error
[01:23] <ikonia> seg
[01:23] <hjmills> SimonL: I didnt get it for some strange reason
[01:23] <bef_ubuntu> ikonia : right, so what do I do? :x
[01:23] <EdgeT> ikonia, I got a really nasty problem :(
[01:23] <SimonL> k lemme repaste
[01:23] <Jowi> SimonL, what graphic card do you have?
[01:24] <|Sora|> hjmills, why not?
[01:24] <ikonia> bef_ubuntu: nothing really, its probably incompatible
[01:24] <SimonL> 7800 256mb
[01:24] <SimonL> nvidia
[01:24] <EdgeT> ikonia, like, it says: "Display null" or something like that
[01:24] <EdgeT> ikonia so X crashes everytime
[01:24] <ikonia> |Sora|: the tool package goes on the vmware platform - not within the virtual machine
[01:24] <hjmills> |Sora|: because vmware tools lets you change the vm ware stuff - you cant change it from the insides
[01:24] <vvlaw> Jowi, SUB: Added subtitle file (1): ./24_1x01_-_12.00_am_01.00_am.ac3.dvdrip.xvid-fov.srt
[01:24] <vvlaw> Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.
[01:24] <ikonia> EdgeT: why are you telling me this ?
[01:24] <Jowi> SimonL, and the resolution you want is not available in the list?
[01:24] <SimonL> correct
[01:24] <hjmills> |Sora|: just like not being able to change the police station if you are locked in a cell
[01:25] <ikonia> hjmills: good example
[01:25] <SimonL> its a widescreen 19" visual monitor
[01:25] <hjmills> ikonia: thanks
[01:25] <bef_ubuntu> ikonia : it's the linux install for a game which was written by a coder of linux, lol, it's definately compatible, I've used it on other build succesfuly
[01:25] <SimonL> so needs 1440 * 900
[01:25] <phobs> hi. a just instaled ubuntu server (LAMP) and now ia hve a question. ehat is the root password ? coz i was never asked to enter one during the instalatin.
[01:25] <hjmills> SimonL: try resolution955
[01:25] <EdgeT> ikonia well you told me bout the xrandr so I thought you might know something that could help me configure it ?
[01:25] <SimonL> wheres that?
[01:25] <hjmills> !info resolution955
[01:25] <ubotu> Package resolution955 does not exist in any distro I know
[01:25] <|Sora|> then tell me, what is the point of vmware tools? :)
[01:25] <ikonia> |Sora|: I explained this to you earlier - you cannot install vmware products onto a machine running within to a virtual machine
[01:25] <|Sora|> hehe
[01:25] <SimonL> !info resolution955
[01:25] <Jowi> SimonL, you can manually add the resolution to your xorg.conf file by using "gtf" in a terminal. "gtf 1440 900 60 -x" where 60 is the refresh rate you want
[01:25] <SimonL> thanks Jowi
[01:25] <SimonL> lemme try
[01:26] <ikonia> bef_ubuntu: have you ever used it on your current version of ubuntu
[01:26] <|Sora|> i guess the developers wanted to create something for nothing ehh?
[01:26] <Jowi> SimonL, then you need to paste that modeline into xorg.conf to the monitor section
[01:26] <ikonia> |Sora|: I don't know what you problem is but I don't know why you won't listen to whats being said
[01:26] <ikonia> you install vmware tools onto your HOST platform
[01:26] <manience> hi guys
[01:26] <EdgeT> Can anyone please help me with X?
[01:26] <ikonia> hjmills: over to you
[01:26] <SimonL> didnt understand that last bit :P
[01:26] <Jowi> SimonL, and add the mode "1440x900" as well to the screen section
[01:26] <bef_ubuntu> ikonia : no, this is my first 20 minutes using my new ubuntu... was using the devil for a few weeks as an intermediary
[01:27] <hjmills> SimonL: sorry - that was meant to be 915resolution
[01:27] <hjmills> !info 915resolution
[01:27] <ubotu> 915resolution: resolution modification tool for Intel graphic chipset. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.5.2-4ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 14 kB, installed size 128 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 kfreebsd-i386 kfreebsd-amd64)
[01:27] <hjmills> ikonia: ok - thanks
[01:27] <|Sora|> im not trying to install vmware my my host platform
[01:27] <ikonia> bef_ubuntu: "linux" is genric - just because something works on one distro doesn't mean it will work on all others
[01:27] <|Sora|> im tyring to install it in guest
[01:27] <ikonia> |Sora|: thats the point/problem - thats where it is meant to ho
[01:27] <ikonia> to go
[01:27] <manience> i hate this ugly boot splash in ubuntu 6.10...
[01:28] <|Sora|> hmm ya, i know that, thats what i been asking for the past 3 hrs
[01:28] <mwe> manience: then remove it ;)
[01:28] <manience> ...is there a way to deactive that splash screen
[01:28] <hjmills> |Sora|: you need to install vmware-tools on windows as windows is the host
[01:28] <bef_ubuntu> ikonia : the coder specificall uses ubuntu
[01:28] <mwe> manience: sudo apt-get remove usplash
[01:28] <manience> mwe: it didnt work to remove the usplash entry
[01:28] <hjmills> |Sora|: vmware-tools for linux is only needed if you use linux as the host
[01:28] <ikonia> bef_ubuntu: speak to him then
[01:28] <dadga> chui`
[01:28] <manience> mwe: thx, ill try this
[01:28] <mwe> manience: wait
[01:29] <bef_ubuntu> ikonia : is there anything i could try asside from accepting that it wont work
[01:29] <ikonia> bef_ubuntu: speak to the developer
[01:29] <bef_ubuntu> ikonia : alright, thanks
[01:29] <manience> mwe: argh. this will remove ubuntu-desktop also
[01:29] <hjmills> manience: you can just remove splash from the /boot/grub/menu.lst file
[01:29] <mwe> manience: it's just a meta package
[01:29] <hjmills> manience: or there is a guide on the forum to change the image
[01:29] <hjmills> mwe: you need ubuntu-desktop to upgrade properly
[01:29] <ikonia> manience: ubuntu-desktop is just a meta package
[01:30] <amir> !sound
[01:30] <|Sora|> hjmills, vmware tools is meant to be installed in the guest
[01:30] <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
[01:30] <|Sora|> not on the host
[01:30] <mwe> hjmills: why? I don't have that
[01:30] <|Sora|> to provide screen resulution etc
[01:30] <vvlaw> how to remove the mplayer?
[01:30] <manience> ikonia: i know... but includes important thinks, isnt it?
[01:30] <hjmills> ikonia: ubuntu-desktop is needed to upgrade from 6.06 to 6.10 etc (between ubuntu versions)
[01:30] <ikonia> hjmills: yes totally
[01:30] <manience> vvlaw: sudo apt-get remove mplayer
[01:30] <mwe> hjmills: so you're saying you can't remove _anything_ in that bloated package if you want to upgrade properly?
[01:31] <BigToe> 96
[01:31] <hjmills> manience: just open /boot/grub/menu.lst in a text editor and scroll down to where it shows the boot options and remove splash from the first boot option
[01:31] <|Sora|> hjmills, now lets say you are right, now when i click on "Intall vmware" tools, why does it mount in guest and not in host? ;)
[01:31] <hjmills> mwe: apparently not
[01:31] <mwe> hjmills: in that case the updater is broken
[01:31] <mwe> hjmills: or sucks bad at least
[01:32] <manience> hjmills: thx, did u deactivate the boot splash, too?
[01:32] <ikonia> http://kb.vmware.com/KanisaPlatform/Publishing/671/340_f.SAL_Public.html
[01:32] <|Sora|> ik,, im glad to be on your list, prud actually, you help no one, and oyur arrogent and not understanding the situation
[01:32] <|Sora|> ikonia
[01:32] <Jowi> !pastebin | SimonL
[01:32] <ubotu> SimonL: 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)
[01:32] <hjmills> |Sora|: because you are using the version of vmware tools for linux not windows? i dont know - i just know you cant change the box from the inside
[01:32] <hjmills> manience: no - i just have before - my old gfx broke if u used the splash
[01:32] <mwe> hjmills: I'll report a bug. they can't expect nobody to remove any of the stuff in ubuntu-desktop
[01:33] <BigToe>                                                                                                                                          !stfu
[01:33] <ubotu> Words like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period.
[01:33] <ikonia> hjmills: I've provided him with a link to the install guide, there is a gues tools package - but not vmware-tools
[01:33] <vvlaw> manience, i compiled the mplayer after apt-get install . so if i apt-get remove it ,it will still at my computer
[01:33] <BigToe> lol
[01:33] <kuzmaster> hello
[01:33] <ikonia> s/gues/guest
[01:33] <kuzmaster> again
[01:33] <hjmills> |Sora|: actually ikonia is one of the most helpful people in the channel at the moment and if he has ignored you - he wont see your petty insults
[01:33] <BigToe> hey wait, what's with the large number of spaces? :f
[01:33] <hjmills> mwe: let me know the url and ill back it up
[01:33] <black_abaddon> bok
[01:33] <ikonia> hjmills: unessasarry, but thank you. Kind words are always nice
[01:34] <|Sora|> hjmills, thanks for letting him know :D
[01:34] <manience> vvlaw: if u compiled that on your own, u have to type "sudo make remove" in the installation path of mplayer
[01:34] <hjmills> ikonia: ok then - thanks
[01:34] <mwe> hjmills: I need more detail to file a proper bug
[01:34] <hjmills> mwe - what do you need?
[01:34] <mwe> hjmills: details about how it breaks
[01:34] <black_abaddon> weed
[01:34] <kuzmaster> so, im reading http://tinyurl.com/yn4y2l , and its telling me to do "sudo apt-get install kdebase", allong with numerous other packages
[01:34] <hjmills> mwe: u want me to do it?
[01:35] <mwe> hjmills: if you know the details
[01:35] <kuzmaster> now, if i cant download them on my ubuntu machine, how can i download them on windows?
[01:35] <ikonia> kuzmaster: no, sorry
[01:35] <ikonia> yhou can't
[01:35] <mwe> hjmills: personally I upgraded three times without having ubuntu-desktop installed, so i don't know how it breaks
[01:35] <ikonia> you'd have to search the repo's for the debs
[01:35] <Wanderers> Hello. I recently upgraded from Breezy to Dapper and now Ubuntu does not appear to recognise my USB Memory sticks anymore  - which worked fine in  Breezy. Any thoughts on how to fix this?
[01:35] <|Sora|> hjmills, anyone can help
[01:35] <kuzmaster> wtf? then how can i get them accross to ubuntu?
[01:35] <kuzmaster> if ubuntu dosnt have access to the internet?
[01:36] <|Sora|> just because you help, doesn't make you a good person
[01:36] <ikonia> kuzmaster: you're supposed to download them through ubuntu
[01:36] <|Sora|> and go about ignoring others
[01:36] <hjmills> mwe: i think you were lucky
[01:36] <|Sora|> because maybe you dont understand the situation
[01:36] <kuzmaster> but ubuntu dosnt have the internet
[01:36] <ikonia> kuzmaster: but I see what you're seaying
[01:36] <|Sora|> now that is arrogent
[01:36] <manience> is there a tool in the repository to generate md5 cypted strings?
[01:36] <mwe> hjmills: maybe so.
[01:36] <ikonia> kuzmaster: is it not easier to fix the ubuntu interenet rather than download all kde to windows ?
[01:36] <ikonia> manience: md5sum can I think
[01:37] <krinns_> hi all
[01:37] <kuzmaster> well, im just following  this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/RalinkRT2500?highlight=%28WifiDocs%2FDriver%29#Raconfig
[01:37] <BigToe> How do I install FF 2.0? I have the .tar.gz unzipped to ~/firefox and there's no Configure or makefile.

[01:37] <krinns_> i have ubuntu 6.0.6
[01:37] <kuzmaster> "1. To install the utility, you'll need to download and install the kdebase and qt3 development packages. Type:"
[01:37] <ikonia> SimonL: Why ?
[01:37] <krinns_> its firefox is crashing
[01:37] <krinns_> what should i do
[01:37] <SimonL> you seem to know a lot about linux
[01:37] <|Sora|> and i "insulted" him, if you even called wha ti said insults, because he insulted me, by adding me to the ignore list
[01:37] <mwe> hjmills: at least one time I had to reinstall a few packages that were accidently removed though but I don't remember the details. is it when you use the automatic update thing it breaks?
[01:37] <SimonL> was just wondering whether it was a job, or if ya just a smart kid :D
[01:37] <manience> ikonia: md5sum? what to you mean? im searching for a prog
[01:38] <BIGDADDY> hello
[01:38] <mwe> hjmills: cause I just edited sources.list and dist-upgraded
[01:38] <SimonL> hi
[01:38] <ikonia> kuzmaster: you can get most of that of the cdrom
[01:38] <ikonia> kuzmaster: my job
[01:38] <ikonia> oops
[01:38] <SimonL> :P
[01:38] <ikonia> SimonL: My Job
[01:38] <BIGDADDY> ok i need some more help please
[01:38] <SimonL> cool
[01:38] <vvlaw> manience,go back the installation path of mplayer? and following the ./configure command,then type "sudo make remove"?
[01:38] <BigToe> How do I install FF 2.0? I have the .tar.gz unzipped to ~/firefox and there's no Configure or makefile.
[01:38] <hjmills> mwe - thats the main problem - some apps are removed - if thats a main package...OUGH
[01:38] <kuzmaster> most, as in all?
[01:38] <hjmills> s/OUGH/OUCH
[01:38] <ikonia> BigToe: use apt-get
[01:38] <ikonia> don't install from tar files
[01:38] <BigToe> it's on there? wow
[01:38] <SimonL> sysadmin or someit?
[01:38] <kuzmaster> i want to be able to install RaConfig fully on my ubuntu machine
[01:39] <BigToe> I didn't see it and thought the auto-update utility would have told me to upgrade :P
[01:39] <ikonia> SimonL: not to keen to talk about it on irc
[01:39] <mwe> hjmills: I guess I'm the kind of person who looks what it wants to remove before accepting ;)
[01:39] <SimonL> oh sorry :(
[01:39] <kuzmaster> but it dosnt have access to the internet
[01:39] <ikonia> BigToe: 6.0,.6 ?
[01:39] <BigToe> yes

[01:39] <ubotu> cedega is a project based on WINE, aimed at running Windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega
[01:39] <ikonia> kuzmaster: the package you need are on the ubuntu cd
[01:39] <hjmills> mwe: yeah - but for the automated way I dont think you can
[01:39] <ikonia> get kde of the cd
[01:39] <ikonia> then download the 1 package through windows
[01:39] <kuzmaster> k, thanx, ill try again
[01:39] <kuzmaster> or, ill try
[01:39] <ikonia> kuzmaster: see what I'm suggesting
[01:40] <mwe> hjmills: I think it sounds broken
[01:40] <ikonia> rather than download 600 meg through windows - use the cd then download 1.5 meg through windows
[01:40] <manience> vvlaw: the easiest way i always do is to compile the mplayer again by "./configure" and "make" and "make install"... then type "make remove"
[01:40] <kuzmaster> i think so...........
[01:40] <BigToe> ikonia, firefox 2 isn't on there
[01:40] <black_abaddon> http://s1.bitefight.ba/c.php?uid=37762
[01:40] <ikonia> BigToe: not in 6.0.6
[01:40] <black_abaddon> nice game
[01:40] <BIGDADDY> any1 ?
[01:40] <ikonia> BigToe:  I believe it will be though
[01:40] <BigToe> ikonia, how do I upgrade to 6.10 then? :P
[01:40] <blekos> hi, any ideas how to disable bluetooth service?
[01:40] <hjmills> mwe: yes - i filed a bug report

[01:43] <BigToe> I once upgraded from 5.10 to something, and the PC crashed and I had to use irssi to get to this channel because X didn't load :S
[01:43] <manience> ikonia: there is a support to protect to boot menu by set a password
[01:43] <matteo> hi people
[01:43] <Nvening> hi, im not getting sound on either you tube or google video but rhythm box plays fine, and ideas why??
[01:43] <ikonia> manience: yes there is
[01:43] <manience> ikonia: u can set this password in the /boot/grub/menu.kst
[01:43] <matteo> i'm under debian on my desktop
[01:43] <matteo> and ubuntu un my laptop
[01:43] <ikonia> Nvening: flash
[01:43] <Nvening> upgrade?
[01:43] <matteo> now i want to make a pbuilder on my desktop
[01:43] <Trixsey> guys
[01:43] <matteo> that makes ubuntu packages
[01:43] <ikonia> or downgrade
[01:44] <Trixsey> my friggin desktop is gone
[01:44] <Trixsey> lol
[01:44] <ikonia> depending on your verrsion
[01:44] <Trixsey> its pitch black :p
[01:44] <Nvening> ill try an ugrade first
[01:44] <vvlaw> manience,you just only ./configure? no --enable-gui fuctions like that?
[01:44] <matteo> i have just to change the mirrors in pbuilderrc before creating it?
[01:44] <break_> i want my screen resolution to be 1152x864, and not 1024x768, how can i change it
[01:44] <manience> ikonia: i thought, its secure to type this password in a md5 string
[01:44] <hjmills> Trixsey: can you see anything?
[01:44] <Trixsey> er.. well
[01:44] <Trixsey> I can use programs
[01:44] <ikonia> manience: why not just type it and let grub encrypt it
[01:44] <symonc_> any ideas ...?
[01:44] <Trixsey> and the trays are working
[01:44] <hjmills> break_: can you see it in the normal resolution dialog?
[01:44] <Trixsey> I'll try reboot
[01:44] <Trixsey> brb
[01:44] <ikonia> if you put in a string - you'll have to enter that string as a password
[01:44] <break_> no
[01:45] <SimonL> break_
[01:45] <SimonL> i know howto do it
[01:45] <SimonL> assuming what i just did works
[01:45] <SimonL> :P
[01:45] <break_> 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768 show up. i want 1152x864, everything is too big
[01:45] <hjmills> break_: then you need to reconfigure xserver-xorg to add the res u want
[01:45] <manience> ikonia: let grub encrypt it? grub can encrypt my password? whats the way for? i thought u have to type this password in the menu.lst file?
[01:45] <BIGDADDY> i take it no one can help me then?
[01:45] <vvlaw> manience,is this the make problem?
[01:46] <sacater> BigToe: did you get firefox2 running
[01:46] <manience> vvlaw: i dont know, i never compile mplayer by own

[01:46] <hjmills> BIGDADDY: is grub loading when your pc starts up?
[01:46] <break_> xserver-xorg?
[01:46] <BIGDADDY> no
[01:46] <hjmills> !resolution
[01:46] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type "sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart" in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[01:46] <ikonia> manience: I could be wrong on that, but I /think/ there is a grub option that lets you put it into the file through grub that uses a kernel encyption module
[01:46] <BigToe> sacater, no, instead I'm upgrading to 6.10 and getting it from synaptic :P
[01:46] <manience> vvlaw: uff, in what way u compiled mplayer before?
[01:46] <BIGDADDY> i did try it from Re how to restore grub

[01:46] <symonc_>  I'm out of ideas.
[01:47] <ikonia> symonc you JUST said that
[01:47] <krinns_> helo
[01:47] <krinns_> any update for firefox
[01:47] <krinns_> why its crashing
[01:47] <ikonia> krinns_: check in the apt repo's
[01:47] <BIGDADDY> i think i know why its to do with my hardrive setups it hink
[01:47] <krinns_> well all good
[01:47] <manience> ikonia: may be by typing grub --md5?
[01:47] <BIGDADDY> *think
[01:47] <break_> alright
[01:47] <krinns_> i might read once
[01:47] <break_> ill read this
[01:47] <ikonia> manience: something like that
[01:47] <krinns_> that i have to get flash things from java website
[01:47] <ikonia> I've not done it for a while so can't remember the details
[01:48] <krinns_> but wont remember
[01:48] <ikonia> krinns_: flash is nothing to do with firefox
[01:48] <krinns_> ya but
[01:48] <ikonia> krinns_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com tells you how to install flash
[01:48] <krinns_> it wont open falsh website
[01:48] <ikonia> krinns_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com search for restricted formats
[01:49] <manience> ikonia: if im wrong and im typing a false, is there still a way to boot linux?
[01:49] <hjmills> BIGDADDY: grub prob thinks ubuntu is on a diff hdd - how many hdds and partitions do u have?
[01:49] <vvlaw> by ./configure --enable-gui --enable network ....and so on...and follow it use the "make" && make install command
[01:49] <manience> ikonia: maybe through a live cd and rewriting the menu.lst?
[01:49] <ikonia> manience: the password doesn't stop it booting, it stops you editing it
[01:49] <ikonia> manience: I don't htink the password option is controlled from menu.lst I think its part of the install onto the boot sector
[01:50] <BIGDADDY> i have 4 hardrives and where i put ubuntu was on the last one and its got 4 partions on it
[01:50] <manience> ikonia: ah yes, ure right
[01:50] <vvlaw> manience , always undefined reference to `video_out_xv' error:(
[01:50] <BigToe> bah, have to reboot because I did software update
[01:50] <manience> ikonia: thx
[01:50] <ikonia> manience: no problem, you may want to check as what I'm saying is from memory
[01:50] <hjmills> BIGDADDY: then grub should look for it on (hd3,<partition / is on>)
[01:50] <manience> vvlaw: did u compile mplayer ever before successful?
[01:51] <ikonia> vvlaw: why are you compiling software ?
[01:52] <BIGDADDY> i also have windows xp on the first 2 hardrives wich i can see when i boot up but i dont see grub is there anyway to put grub on the first hardrive?
[01:52] <AlphaFaction> hey folks, anyone got any idea why ubuntu crashes unless i have dri disabled?
[01:52] <vvlaw> manience, yeap,the first time it successful
[01:52] <ikonia> BIGDADDY: grub is mean to go on your boot drive
[01:52] <break_> alright, how about this thing asking me how much video RAM to let this crap use?
[01:52] <ikonia> break_: ignore that
[01:52] <break_> Enter the amount of memory (in kB) to be used by your video card.
[01:52] <break_> just continue?
 gfx card or drivers dont support it
[01:53] <ikonia> yes
[01:53] <Jowi> AlphaFaction, sounds like a video card driver problem
[01:53] <BIGDADDY> yes but how do i get grub to the boot drive?
[01:53] <break_> i have an NVIDIA 7900GT
[01:53] <manience> ! by the way, theres no entry in the menu.lst to deactivate the splash boot screen
[01:53] <manience> vvlaw: uhm.. very strange
[01:53] <ikonia> BIGDADDY: there is a grub install guide on https://wiki.ubuntu.com
[01:53] <BIGDADDY> i did install ubuntu from cd and let it do all of it
[01:53] <vvlaw> ikonia, because when i installed the mplayer by the apt way ,it worked fine,but there has no mp3lib support, i want to complie it to use mp3lib fuction ...
[01:53] <AlphaFaction> Mightily-Oats:  its a 6600 nvidia card with the latest ubuntu drivers
[01:53] <ikonia> vvlaw: really I thought you could add mp3lib support to it
[01:54] <ikonia> vvlaw: my tip would be get the source deb - alter it from there and re-package
[01:54] <ikonia> so apt can track it
[01:54] <Mightily-Oats> ok.. the nvidia drivers are installed.. has the xorg.conf file been edited
[01:54] <manience> vvlaw: ikonia is right
[01:54] <manience> vvlaw: try this
[01:54] <AlphaFaction> Mightily-Oats: yep
[01:55] <break_>  Use kernel framebuffer device interface?
[01:55] <break_> yes or no?
[01:55] <ikonia> no
[01:56] <PriceChild> I have the rewrite module loaded, and .htaccess edited...  but I'm not getting rewrites.... any ideas anyone?
[01:56] <break_> haha, what kind of mouse do i have
[01:56] <ikonia> PriceChild: is the error_log showing anything, eg writes attempted and failing or just not happening
[01:56] <break_> ImPS/2 or ExplorerPS/2
[01:56] <ikonia> break_: we don't know
[01:57] <ikonia> break_: you'll have to do SOME reading yourself
[01:57] <break_> whats teh difference?!
[01:57] <manience> Deavticate the ubuntu's boot splash screen wo'nt work? also not by editing the menu.lst
[01:57] <Mightily-Oats> umm.. just looking at some info... not sure y it crashes unless its disabled.... but all posts so far are saying to disable it
[01:57] <manience> anyone an idea?
[01:57] <ikonia> break_: you'll have to do SOME reading yourself
[01:57] <PriceChild> ikonia: where's the log? :P
[01:57] <amir> break_:  is it logitech or microsoft or anything else?
[01:58] <ikonia> PriceChild: errr $APACHE_HOME/logs whcih on ubuntu is.....(hang on)
[01:58] <break_> logitech...
 i think you can remove splash and quiet from the menu.lst and it will work
[01:58] <break_> its just a regular mouse. 2 buttons, scrollwheel...
[01:58] <ikonia> PriceChild: /var/log/apache2
[01:58] <PriceChild>  thanks :)
[01:58] <ikonia> no problem
[01:58] <ikonia> break_: you'll have to do SOME reading yourself
[01:58] <Mightily-Oats> its in 2 sections though... one about half way down under default options or somethign.. then the other ones down on the kernel line
[01:59] <amir> break_: if you turn your mouse upside down, look if there is any numbers or anythng decribing the modell
[01:59] <Mightily-Oats> after removing you will have ti run sudo update-grub

[02:32] <blekos> anyone can tell me what's the right way of installing ubuntu/linux? i mean i have a partion / and a swap partion. SHould i have a differnt partition for root and another for users?
[02:32] <ernstp> blekos: / is root then. it's nice to have a separate partition for /home if you want to reinstall ubuntu or switch to antoher dist sometime
[02:33] <BigToe> Whenever I search for updates, use synaptic or try to update to 6.10 but keep getting "Failed to fetch http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper/main/source/Sources.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)"
[02:33] <jrib> damien_karras: this gets old fast
[02:33] <AzMoo> ernstp, that's what I was using, but it says that no URI handler is implemented for "mms"
[02:33] <damien_karras> jrib: what?
[02:33] <blekos> and how much space should allocate to root?
[02:33] <ernstp> AzMoo: got win32codecs?

[02:34] <damien_karras> I want to ask a question
[02:35] <SimonL> ask away, sure someone can help

[02:37] <damien_karras> I want to ask a question
[02:37] <ernstp> blekos: not very easily
[02:37] <ernstp> blekos: but like 5 GB on /, and everything else on /home
[02:37] <sacater> BigToe: sorry i didnt see your reply, did you upgrade firefox
[02:37] <ernstp> blekos: you can start from the livecd and change them with gparted later on

[02:40] <BigToe> sacater, yes, apart from the lack of firefox 2 :P

[02:46] <sacater> binarydigit: provided that there is no RUNNING Os on there no
[02:46] <tomek_> I am looking for any fancy desktop theme
[02:47] <tomek_> and good LaTeX editor
[02:47] <ootput> binarydigit: why does it have to be mounted?
[02:47] <tomek_> :)
[02:47] <sacater> binarydigit: NO
[02:47] <ootput> binarydigit: if it's the root partition, boot from a livecd/dvd and fsck from there
[02:47] <sacater> binarydigit: only when its unmounted
[02:47] <mattions> tomek_:  winefish for LatEx editor written in Gtk2 :)
[02:47] <binarydigit> yea, well someone at work just ran fsck on a mounted partition
[02:47] <binarydigit> and now the partition seems to be fucked
[02:47] <sacater> binarydigit: then hes in the &*^ter
[02:47] <binarydigit> it was on /var/log
[02:47] <mattions> LaTeX*
[02:48] <ootput> fsck isn't a big stretch from the other f word ;)
[02:48] <binarydigit> haha seems like it

[02:48] <eyalw> hi
[02:48] <eyalw> im looking for a really good tts engine
[02:48] <jrib> tomek_: just use synaptic.  LyX is one you might want to try too
[02:48] <faycal> #ubuntu
[02:49] <jrib> !themes | tomek_
[02:49] <ubotu> tomek_: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://kdelook.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy
[02:49] <ootput> binarydigit: btw, you should get that co-worker to reconsider his/her reading comprehension capabilities ;)
[02:49] <ootput> fsck usually warns you when you're working on a mounted partition
[02:49] <tomek_> Thanks a lot !!!
[02:50] <binarydigit> Ootput: yea he also ran it at 4am and wasnt paying attnetion
[02:50] <binarydigit> so ill give him so benefit of the doubt
[02:50] <faycal> the wireless card is detected but can't see the access point
[02:50] <binarydigit> after a long day of another sevrer having a bad hardware failure
[02:50] <tomek_> according to the LynX - I've tryed it under Windows
[02:50] <ootput> binarydigit: ho, that's a shitty hour to have things fsck up on you
[02:50] <tomek_> I prefare something like WinEdt
[02:50] <tomek_> so perhaps winefish will be fine
[02:51] <maddy> hello again
[02:51] <maddy> as you can see all went well :)
[02:51] <binarydigit> ootput: tell me about it, and a bunch of people are away, includngmy boss who is on vacation, good times
[02:51] <binarydigit> atleast it was just /var/log
[02:51] <nol13> i heard emacs is alot better than vim, is this true?
[02:51] <ootput> what's worse is that he/she's getting you to do all the detective work
[02:52] <mattions> tomek_: don't be scared by the web-site.. the editor is really cool.. but the website sucks [a little bit :)] 
[02:52] <maddy> i still do have a problem though if some1 can kindly help me?
[02:52] <jrib> nol13: that's a question for #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:52] <tomek_> ok
[02:52] <tomek_> I will check it
[02:52] <ootput> nol13: emacs is a lot better than vim if you're more proficient at using emacs
[02:52] <binarydigit> ootput: this is like my first job out of college, entry level and our resident linux gurus are both out, so it fell down the chain quickly to me
[02:52] <ootput> nol13: conversely, vim is better if you're better at using vim
[02:52] <binarydigit> atleast im not the one running out to the datacenter =)
[02:53] <tomek_> is there any support for documents compilation?
[02:53] <mattions> no problem is on the multivers
[02:53] <ootput> binarydigit: (=
[02:53] <mattions> there is a deb in ubutnu
[02:53] <mattions> ubuntu repository
[02:53] <tomek_> ok
[02:53] <mattions> multiverse or universe [don't remember
[02:54] <nol13> well which should i learn?
[02:54] <maddy> how can i see all my other hardrives?
[02:54] <ootput> nol13: run the tutorial for both
[02:54] <maddy> from within ubuntu?
[02:54] <ootput> maddy: cat /proc/partitions
[02:54] <tomek_> onother thing - how to share my internet conection?
[02:54] <ootput> maddy: though that won't give you detailed info
[02:54] <nol13> what do you use?
[02:55] <ootput> nol13: emac
[02:55] <ootput> s
[02:55] <ootput> gnu
[02:55] <maddy> sooryfor my dumbness but where do i fine cat/proc/partions?

[02:58] <ootput> francalier: potentially
[02:58] <nikin> francalie: everyone :D
[02:58] <SimonL> i imagine about 900 people use it here :P
[02:58] <nol13> is it in the repositories though?
[02:58] <ootput> break_: don't laugh, but I'm u sing my dual core to play dos games via dosbox :D

[02:58] <SimonL> HAHAHA
[02:58] <SimonL> :P
[02:59] <break_> in windows, theres a problem with playing games with dual core processors
[02:59] <SimonL> there is?
[02:59] <maddy> is there not a program that will mount the drives while in ubuntu?
[02:59] <break_> i'm just wondering if the same issue applies if you're running a windows game via. linux
[02:59] <SimonL> what ya trying to do maddy

[02:59] <mena_> Studio, Is Here
[02:59] <Znero> Hello. My partition-table seems to be defect, so i created images of all my partitions and want to erase the harddrive completely (also bootloader and tables should go) before i restore them. which command should i use?
[02:59] <SimonL> lemme see if i can remember the cmd
[02:59] <ootput> maddy: gparted should show you quite a bit
[02:59] <SimonL> i did it last night
[03:00] <mena_> studio, Are You Here
[03:00] <francalier> Android: was a UKIP member
[03:00] <francalier> THat's not very ubuntu.
[03:00] <mena_> Friends How Can I Change The permision
[03:00] <Lynoure> maddy: do you just want to get your MS Windows partition mounted or something?
[03:00] <ootput> francalier: what's ukip?
[03:00] <jrib> mena_: permissions on?
[03:01] <SimonL> i think its
[03:01] <ootput> mena_: what sort of permissions?
[03:01] <mena_> Partitions
[03:01] <francalier> The United Kingdom Independence Party
[03:01] <jrib> mena_: what filesystem?
[03:01] <Android> not a ukip member, just liked an animation on thier site
[03:01] <maddy> well i want to try fix my profile in windows
[03:01] <SimonL> "sudo umount -a && sudo mount -a
[03:01] <SimonL> "
[03:01] <ootput> mena_: man chmod...  chmod -w file for readonly access
[03:01] <maddy> so i need to get the the drive that windows is installed on
[03:01] <nol13> maddy, is your fan running properly?
[03:01] <jrib> SimonL: that would only work if maddy has already added them to fstab
[03:01] <gilnim> it's a pity that I can't connect to #ubuntu over my tor server
[03:02] <gilnim> !tor
[03:02] <jrib> !ntfs | maddy
[03:02] <ubotu> tor: anonymizing overlay network for TCP. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1.1.23-1 (edgy), package size 763 kB, installed size 1556 kB
[03:02] <mena_> my partitions Without File System is Just For Acces Only
[03:02] <SimonL> oh yah
[03:02] <Znero> cant anone tell me how to erase my harddrive completly (and propably reformat it with ntfs?)
[03:02] <ubotu> maddy: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions. For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[03:02] <francalier> Znero: do you already have the images backed up?
[03:02] <ootput> maddy: ubuntu may have already detected the ntfs filesystems at install time. Grep ntfs /etc/fstab
[03:02] <SimonL> forgot how i did that
[03:02] <ootput> or was that vfat?
[03:02] <mena_> My filesystem permision is uknowen
[03:02] <Znero> jey, im using acronis true image
[03:02] <ootput> maddy: I forget which
[03:02] <SimonL> other than "gksudo gedit /etc/fstab"
[03:02] <francalier> you want to install Windows on it?
[03:02] <potatox> hey, is there anyway to have ubuntu on a permanent "fastboot"?
[03:02] <mucker> i'm looking for advice on how to write a driver for Ubuntu
[03:02] <jrib> mena_: you need to format the partition with a filesystem first then
[03:03] <potatox> in order to skip the disk checks?
[03:03] <francalier> potatox: yeah, just rub jelly on your CPU.
[03:03] <break_> is there an mp3 player for linux thats like winamp?
[03:03] <mena_> Okay ext3
[03:03] <Znero> francalier: i want to restore windows first, and if resizing works i want to restore ubuntu afterwards
[03:03] <lupine_85> mucker: well, there's plenty of example code =)
[03:03] <SimonL> there is rhapsody player
[03:03] <Thug-N-Me> hi all
[03:03] <SimonL> thats way nicer
[03:03] <maddy> oh dear so much to read my brains forz lol
[03:03] <Thug-N-Me> !essential
[03:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about essential - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:03] <SimonL> winamp is a resource hogger
[03:03] <mena_> jrib,They Are ext3
[03:03] <ootput> mucker: that can get pretty complicated
[03:03] <lupine_85> check www.kernel.org
[03:03] <break_> yeah well
[03:03] <francalier> Well, you should be able to start afresh with Windows's installer
[03:03] <ootput> mucker: view Linux kernel documentation
[03:03] <francalier> It will also write over the bootloader.
[03:03] <jrib> mena_: then you can use chmod and/or chown as usual
[03:03] <break_> i want a media player that looks and acts like winamp, without the resource hog part
[03:03] <nol13> postatox:  is your internet running properly?
[03:03] <jrib> !permissions | mena_
[03:03] <ubotu> mena_: 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
[03:03] <break_> is amaroK any good?
[03:03] <potatox> nol13: yes...why?
[03:03] <ootput> break_: beep media player with winamp classic skins
[03:04] <nol13> postatox:  you better go catch it.
[03:04] <potatox> nol13: if you're going to say google it, i already have
[03:04] <break_> whaaat
[03:04] <mena_> ubotu, Okay thanks
[03:04] <nikin> break: xmms
[03:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about Okay thanks - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:04] <break_> it uses winamp skins?!
[03:04] <Znero> francalier: windows installer cant find a harddrive, but windows and ubuntu still worked
[03:04] <potatox> nol13: dangit...
[03:04] <ootput> break_: winamp 2 skins, yep
[03:04] <potatox> nol13: fell right into that one
[03:04] <mena_> jrib, thnaks
[03:04] <mena_> a
[03:04] <Acetylene> break_, amaroK is good :D
[03:04] <mucker> I have a laptop with an internal card reader, I've tried doing steps in a few posts in Ubuntu forums but don't work.
[03:04] <Thug-N-Me> whats the name of the package that include autoconf automake and all this stuff ?
[03:04] <xkcd> nol13: Hey, I hear Coke is better than Pepsi, is that true?
[03:04] <jrib> Thug-N-Me: build-essential
[03:04] <spieq> yep :)
[03:05] <break_> pepsi > *
[03:05] <francalier> I hear that there's a New Coke.
 thanks
[03:05] <lupine_85> break_: amaroK++
[03:05] <nol13> xkcd: obviosly you havent taken the pepsi challenge
[03:05] <Acetylene> amaroK++, haha
[03:05] <xkcd> francalier: Will it break my system to upgrade to this New Coke?  I can't find it in Synaptic.
[03:05] <lupine_85> it's great stuff
[03:05] <francalier> You need to add a new source.
[03:05] <francalier> a New Source for New Coke.
[03:05] <jrib> Thug-N-Me: hmm autoconf and automake may not be included, but I think you're referring to build-essential
[03:05] <ootput> coke will break your wallet
[03:05] <mucker> I'll try an indepth search and try other forums like linuxquestions but if worst comes to worst, if I have a write code to get it works, I just want to know what is required.
[03:06] <potatox> is there any way to effectively have my system permanently boot up in "fastboot" mode to bypass the filesystem checks? (i can do this manually by running "sudo touch /fastboot" after every restart)
[03:06] <Thug-N-Me> jrib yes
[03:06] <lupine_85> mucker: just check out an example driver. There are >1,000 of them available, all well-commented
[03:06] <ootput> potatox: set dump/pass to 0
[03:06] <potatox> ootput: where's that?
[03:06] <Znero> i tried to use gparted for reformating my harddrive, but grub etc is still remaining. isnt there any way to erase everything?
[03:07] <lupine_85> Znero: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda -- assuming hda is the hard drive you want clearing
[03:07] <ootput> potatox: in /etc/fstab.. the trailing digits in each row
[03:07] <potatox> ootput: does that tell fsck to leave a specific partition alone?
[03:07] <mucker> thanks for the tip, I haven't looked into any of this
[03:07] <Znero> lupine_85: thanks
[03:07] <ootput> potatox: yes
[03:08] <mucker> or where to start
[03:08] <potatox> ootput: thank you
[03:08] <ootput> potatox: or you could use tune2fs to accomplish the same thing
[03:08] <maddy> sorry where will i find grep?
[03:08] <ootput> potatox: without having to muck about with /etc/fstab
[03:08] <Thug-N-Me> where would i get SDL from ?
[03:08] <lupine_85> Znero: there's also wipe & shred that attempt to do it in a more "secure" manner
[03:08] <ootput> potatox: assuming you're using ext2/3 partitions
[03:08] <potatox> ootput: okay...yeah, i have ext3
[03:08] <lupine_85> just don't use /dev/random :D - you'll be waiting years
[03:08] <ootput> potatox: you can tweak ext3 quite a bit, btw (o/t)
[03:08] <nol13> later guys, its been real.
[03:09] <potatox> ootput: you wouldn't happen to know of any magical fsck commands that would definitely fix a messed up filesystem would you?
[03:09] <Thug-N-Me> jrib any ideea of getting sdl installed ?
[03:09] <ootput> potatox: when you have the chance, read: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-305871.html
[03:09] <potatox> ootput: i've tried everything i could find so far
[03:09] <ootput> potatox: no, only the basic fsck commands
[03:09] <mattfletcher> how can i store user's and home directories on one central server, and then let users log on from any machine on my network as though it was the same machine?
[03:09] <ootput> (there's not a whole lot you can do with fsck)
[03:09] <potatox> ootput: but i always, always get a "Duplicate or Bad block in use" about 62% of the way through
[03:10] <jrib> Thug-N-Me: should get installed if any program needs it.  It seems to be libsdl1.2debian*
[03:10] <ootput> potatox: mate, perhaps there's a bad block? ;)
[03:10] <potatox> ootput: yeah...it doesn't seem to be quite as robust as FreeBSD's UFS2 fsck, though
[03:10] <potatox> ootput: that thing's a beast
[03:10] <ootput> potatox: since you brought it up, i do prefer fbsd's fs type and tools
[03:10] <potatox> ootput: any ideas on fixing a bad block?
[03:10] <potatox> ootput: for ext3?
[03:10] <ootput> potatox: no, compared to linux fs'
[03:11] <potatox> ootput: okay, thanks for your help
[03:11] <Znero> lupine_85: It says /dev/hda: Read-only file system (im using liveCD)
[03:11] <Thug-N-Me> jrib i have libsdl1.2debian-alssa installed ... but the package i want to install is still req. the sdl package any ideea ?
[03:11] <jrib> Thug-N-Me: what are you trying to install?
[03:12] <lupine_85> Znero: what it says
[03:12] <ootput> potatox: not a problem. btw: tune2fs -c 0 -i 0 /dev/hdXY  is what you're after
[03:12] <Thug-N-Me> jrib  The sdl-config script installed by SDL could not be found

[03:13] <madmax> does anyone know how to configure a wireless connection on a laptop? i have a fujitsu siemens amilo pro v3505 with intel 3945ABG wireless and the interface doesn't appear in ifconfig or ubuntu's networking
[03:13] <Thug-N-Me> jrib yes

[03:13] <Znero> lupine_85: what do you mean? i entered the command you posted and than the message add: ffne /dev/hda: Read-only file system appears
[03:13] <Thug-N-Me> jrib http://pastebin.com/852697
[03:14] <lupine_85> Znero: yes. you don't have appropriate privs to write to /dev/hda (that is the correct device-file, right?). so prefix sudo to the command to get them
[03:14] <jrib> Thug-N-Me: what command gave you that?
[03:14] <eXistenZ> What is the best way to stream mp3 in ubuntu?
[03:14] <lupine_85> since you're on the liveCD, the sudo password is blank

[03:15] <maddy> wow this is fun
[03:15] <lupine_85> or rather, any of it's partitions
[03:15] <maddy> i just hope i dont screw things up

[03:16] <Thug-N-Me> jrib does this version of abuse support networking games ?
[03:16] <lupine_85> hda isn't your CDROM drive, by any chance, is it? =)

[03:17] <Znero> lupine_85: oh, i looked at gparted and it says /dev/sda1.... yes its a sata
[03:17] <KenSentMe> Or how can i backtrace going to places - server?
[03:17] <maddy> and also this gksudo gedit /etc/pmount.allow but cannot figer out how to mount them
[03:18] <lupine_85> Znero: please, for crying out loud, /read/ what people say. If you had an IDE and SATA hard drive, you'd be kicking my arse right now

[03:22] <KenSentMe> jrib: thanks, but he's offline i think :(
[03:23] <jrib> KenSentMe: no idea if this matters, but try stopping nautilus from controlling the desktop then start it
[03:23] <KenSentMe> jrib: and how can i do that?
[03:23] <afief> xtknight: and is there a way i can have a windows user enter my desktop?
[03:24] <jrib> KenSentMe: it's a gconf option in /apps/nautilus
[03:24] <KenSentMe> jrib: k, i'll look
[03:24] <r_rehashed> hi all
[03:24] <xtknight> afief: he can use a VNC client and the IP he must type to connect is listed in the GNOME Remote Desktop Preferences
[03:24] <jrib> KenSentMe: /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop
[03:24] <r_rehashed> i tried to re-install grub on my / partition
[03:25] <afief> xtknight: does this work while i'm behind a nat?
[03:25] <xtknight> afief: is the windows pc on the same lan?
[03:25] <afief> xtknight: no
[03:25] <KenSentMe> jrib: do i need to restart X then, orjust run the backtrace?
[03:25] <xtknight> afief: no it will not work behind a NAT, unless you forward the VNC port or make the pc in question DMZ
[03:25] <jrib> KenSentMe: just close all the nautilus instances and then try to get a backtrace
[03:25] <KenSentMe> jrib: ok, thanks

[03:28] <jrib> Thug-N-Me: np
[03:28] <xtknight> KenSentMe: gdb) backtrace
[03:28] <xtknight> I'm not sure about nautilus though
[03:28] <xtknight> it seems to terminate automatically
[03:28] <xtknight> since there can only be one running
[03:29] <KenSentMe> xtknight: that's the problem
[03:29] <FredDC> does anyone know a good database design tool for linux? which can generate sql statements?

[03:29] <KenSentMe> xtknight: i want to backtrace a bug when opening a connected server
[03:29] <jrib> I get a bt for nautilus here
[03:29] <xtknight> KenSentMe: problem still happens under root*
[03:30] <jrib> KenSentMe: make sure there really are not nautilus instances already running, or maybe connect to the running instance
[03:30] <xtknight> if you run it under root it can't use the User's one-instance nautilus and must start another
[03:30] <xtknight> but i'd like to know as well how to debug under user
[03:30] <xtknight> just an idea for now
[03:31] <KenSentMe> jrib: there's still a nautilus proces running, but when i kill it it keeps coming back
[03:31] <xtknight> after you quit all nautilus apps,   you must use  '   nautilus --no-desktop  ' next time i believe so it doesn't start itself again
[03:31] <xtknight> it wont bring the desktop back if you do that
[03:32] <YoG> hi, I've installed several themes, i can see them in ~/.themes, but i don't see theme in the "theme preference" window, can anyone help me?

[03:35] <xtknight_away> KenSentMe: i mean did you try 'nautilus --no-desktop'?
[03:35] <roniez> If anybody can take a look and see if there is anything wrong in the script or in the crontab job.
[03:35] <roniez> here is the script  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/651/
[03:35] <xtknight_away> KenSentMe: sorry.  i didnt direct it toward your name but i described it a few lines above
[03:35] <roniez> when i have that it wont run the script on reboot.
[03:35] <jrib> KenSentMe: if you keep killing it really fast it should stop :P  Maybe you do need to logout or something for gnome to figure out you don't want nautilus to handle the desktop.  Or, just connect to that nautilus in gdb
[03:35] <mena_> jrib, To Give My Partitions The Permision To acces and read
[03:35] <mena_> write and read
[03:35] <|Sora|> jrib, not the tab at the top, but on the bottom, which it shows which windows are opened
[03:35] <jrib> mena_: for one user or for all?
[03:36] <mena_> For one
[03:36] <jrib> |Sora|: right, click on the bottom panel's properties, not the top on
[03:36] <mena_> Bec Its Just Me
[03:36] <|Sora|> k
[03:36] <jrib> mena_: just make yourself the owner then.  For example, to change /media/foobar to be owned by you:   sudo chown mena:mena /media/foobar
[03:37] <oriol> Hi
[03:37] <mena_> jrib, ok i will
[03:38] <KenSentMe> xtknight_away: i've read it, but do you want me to run it like this : gdb nautilus --no-desktop etc?
[03:38] <KenSentMe> xtknight_away: i ran nautilus --no-desktop, but it just opens a window and then what?
[03:38] <xtknight_away> KenSentMe: uhh i think so.  make sure the parameter is correctly being passed to gdb though so gdb doesnt thing 'no-desktop' is a parameter for itself
[03:38] <xtknight_away> KenSentMe: you could also just run nautilus --no-desktop and attach gdb to the pid
[03:39] <YoG> hi, I've installed several themes, i can see them in ~/.themes, but i don't see theme in the "theme preference" window, can anyone help me? anyone?
[03:39] <mena_> jrib, I done Thanks my Freind
[03:39] <KenSentMe> jrib: i'm not that fast with killing processes and logging out doesn't help
[03:39] <xtknight_away> KenSentMe: afraid i have to go.  if you still cant do it i may be able to help later
[03:39] <KenSentMe> xtknight_away: ok, i'll try
[03:40] <bakert>  #haskell
[03:40] <jrib> KenSentMe: what does this say:  gconftool-2 -g /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop
[03:40] <biggahed> i could use some help here http://pastebin.com/852718
[03:40] <KenSentMe> jrib: true
[03:40] <mena_> jrib, For Renaming them Is there any Way Or I must To Use tun2fs
[03:41] <jrib> KenSentMe: you want that to be false so nautilus doesn't handle the desktop
[03:41] <Ankit_> #vista
[03:41] <KenSentMe> jrib: i got it
[03:41] <oriol> I can't rotate my screen. My graphics card is a Nvidia GeForce FX 5200

[03:42] <mena_> Or U mean Something else
[03:42] <jrib> mena_: yes, fstab, but make sure the directory you are mounting to exists
[03:42] <JayRoe> can someone tell me why "sudo modprobe -r ehci_hcd" works in the terminal, but doesn't work in system/preferences/sessions?
[03:43] <Jeruvy> I would like to know how to customize the gnome desktop anyone have a pointer?
[03:43] <jrib> !themes | Jeruvy

[03:43] <Jeruvy> jrib: cheers :)
[03:43] <mena_> jrib, Okay
[03:44] <GuerrillaWon> Can I install 32 bit libraries etc on the 64bit setup?
[03:44] <GuerrillaWon> Without problems?
[03:44] <break_> can someone explain why my system is so slow???
[03:44] <GuerrillaWon> Some programs I can't install because they don't have an amd64 port.
[03:44] <break_> everything lags horribly
[03:45] <mena_> jrib,for the file system i do the sma eto change the permision
[03:45] <mena_> same
[03:45] <oriol> I try the instructions in this Nvidia url: http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-8774/README/appendix-d.html
[03:45] <jrib> mena_: can you be more specific?  I'm not sure what you mean
[03:46] <KenSentMe> xtknight_away: attaching the running nautilus makes it crash without performing the steps for the bug
[03:46] <mena_> The Partitons called File system Its permision is unkowen
[03:46] <oriol> and here, too: http://www.ubuntu-es.org/index.php?q=node/12664
[03:46] <mena_> jrib, The File system patition
[03:47] <mena_> jrib, I mean the owner sorry
[03:47] <jrib> mena_: you shouldn't change permissions on anything that isn't in your HOME or you don't mount yourself for storage
[03:47] <mena_> thats My Computer
[03:48] <jrib> mena_: yes, but you use sudo when you need to do things on stuff outside your HOME
[03:48] <JayRoe> How do I add english to the spell checker? It's marking every word that's not danish
[03:48] <oriol> I don't write English very well because I'm an spanish student
[03:48] <mena_> jrib, okay so how can i login as aoot
[03:48] <mena_> jrib, root
[03:48] <jrib> !sudo | mena_
[03:48] <ubotu> mena_: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[03:49] <linux_den> trying to connect with external hard drive anybody can help
[03:49] <linux_den> I thought it was plug n play
[03:49] <whyameye> linux_den: say more about the problem you are having. It's not automounting? What filesystem does the external drive have?
[03:50] <linux_den> ntfs
[03:50] <linux_den> not automounting
[03:50] <whyameye> linux_den: you are looking for it in the /media directory?
[03:50] <linux_den> will look now
[03:51] <EdgeT> Guys
[03:51] <linux_den> not in /media
[03:51] <break_> how do you install graphics drivers
[03:51] <break_> NVIDIA
[03:51] <EdgeT> I'd need a lil help here, if someone could help me with it
[03:51] <jrib> !nvidia | break_
[03:51] <ubotu> break_: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:51] <break_> thank you
[03:52] <break_> i tried googling, but that confused me even more
[03:52] <jrib> !helpme | EdgeT
[03:52] <ubotu> EdgeT: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:52] <EdgeT> jrib, like how could I set X to find my display and activate it from a tty?
[03:53] <mena_> jrib, if i do what is in the page you give me ....My Account Will Be root or i must to loging as root
[03:53] <jonf> Could anyone help me activate the wireless?
[03:53] <jrib> mena_: sudo executes commands with super user privileges.  So for example you could do:  sudo nano   and you have a text editor with "root" privileges
[03:54] <whyameye> linux_den: I'm not sure. I'd look in dmesg for some sort of message from when you plugged in the drive. I'm assuming this is USB
[03:54] <linux_den> yes usb high speed
[03:54] <linux_den> dmesq thanks
[03:55] <EdgeT> Guys, my X seems unable to find any display, so how do I make it find it?
[03:56] <bulmer> EdgeT: have you look around your  /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[03:56] <whyameye> EdgeT: what is happening? You can't load Gnome/KDE? Or you are running a GUI app from the command line and it gives you an error about the display?
[03:57] <linux_den> is dmesq a text file?
[03:57] <EdgeT> whyameye actually I can't load Gnome, plus the tty didn't connect me to the net
[03:57] <whyameye> linux_den: dmesg is a command.
[03:57] <linux_den> ok
[03:57] <twisties> which run mode uses networking
[03:57] <twisties> ?
[03:58] <bulmer> 5
[03:58] <twisties> run level*
[03:58] <bulmer> you can check /etc/inittab
[03:58] <jonf> Could anyone help me activate the wireless?
[03:58] <whyameye> EdgeT: not sure what you mean about tty and net. But if you can't load Gnome the first thing I would try is "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[03:58] <twisties> oh, cool thanks :) im trying to cram as much about linux into my brain
[03:58] <twisties> learning it to keep me busy during holidays
[03:59] <EdgeT> bulmer, I don't even know how to open it in a tty :(

[03:59] <linux_den> Does this help
[03:59] <EdgeT> whyameye, that's the problem, I don't have the net
[03:59] <deepsa> EdgeT: nano -w /etc/inittab
[03:59] <whyameye> EdgeT: why do you need the net for this?
[03:59] <EdgeT> deepsa, what would that do?
[03:59] <deepsa> EdgeT: open the file in tty for you
[03:59] <EdgeT> whyameye I can't download the drivers?
[03:59] <bulmer> EdgeT: you need to pick up a tutorial on nano or vim..these are editors
[03:59] <EdgeT> deepsa oh oki ty
[04:00] <fleischwurst>  /msg nickserv register d8e2g1daF
[04:00] <whyameye> EdgeT: then use the vesa driver which should already be installed.
[04:00] <fleischwurst> omg
[04:00] <deepsa> fleischwurst: lol
[04:00] <deepsa> fleischwurst: your password of irc is d8e2g1daF
[04:00] <fleischwurst> 1337
[04:00] <EdgeT> whyameye how do I do that?
[04:01] <deepsa> fleischwurst: wtf u r
[04:01] <bulmer> jonf: lets try..i have not been successful on mine, but you can try some of these commands
[04:01] <lupine_85> omg pr0nzlolol
[04:01] <xkcd> lupine_85: Be careful; I hear hacking is illegal now.
[04:01] <deepsa> lol
[04:01] <whyameye> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xservser-xorg. When it asks what driver to use, select "vesa." I wouldn't be surprised though if the open-source driver for your video card is also already on your computer.

[04:01] <lupine_85> so's half this pr0nzz :p
[04:01] <bulmer> jonf: what does ifconfig -a  tells you about your nic interfaces
[04:02] <whyameye> EdgeT: how come you can't connect to the net?
[04:02] <riotkittie> pr0nz :o
[04:02] <jonf> eth0, lo, sit0
[04:02] <black_abaddon> http://s1.bitefight.ba/c.php?uid=37762
[04:02] <jonf> bulmer:  eth0, lo, sit0
[04:02] <EdgeT> whyameye well, I wanted to download the nvidia-glx so I "apt-get update" but there was no connection, tho my ethernet cable was in, and the net worked, tho I can't even ping google
[04:03] <whyameye> EdgeT: has your net worked before?
[04:03] <black_abaddon> http://s1.bitefight.ba/c.php?uid=37762
[04:03] <bulmer> jonf: is eth0 mapped to your wifi or is that a separate nic card ?
[04:03] <EdgeT> whyameye, well yeah it does with a live cd and on windoz3, on the 6.10 tty, but now I've installed the 6.06 and I don't have the net anymore I think
[04:03] <jonf> bulmer:  I have a notebook
[04:04] <bulmer> jonf: easy to verify...iwconfig eth0
[04:04] <bulmer> jonf: even notebooks have nic cards plus wifi cads
[04:04] <EdgeT> This is frustrating
[04:04] <jonf> bulmer: iwconfig eth0
[04:04] <linux_den> after using the dmesg command I get this
[04:04] <jonf> bulmer:  no wireless extension
[04:04] <whyameye> EdgeT: what does "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" do for you?
[04:04] <riotkittie> yeah.  i use nic everywhere but in the bedroom

[04:05] <bulmer> jonf: is there a light indicator on your embedded wifi card that tells you it is active?
[04:05] <linux_den> I there a command to mount
[04:05] <riotkittie> then i pop my wireless in and borrow my neighbor's connection :o
[04:05] <EdgeT> whyameye I dunno haven't tried it, brb, since I'm on w!n
[04:05] <linux_den> or just point me to a help file
[04:05] <linux_den> please
[04:05] <jonf> bulmer: yes, but the light is off
[04:05] <bulmer> jonf: look around for a switch to turn in on...or keyboard combo perhaps..
[04:05] <black_abaddon> http://s1.bitefight.ba/c.php?uid=37762
[04:06] <whyameye> linux_den: mount is the command. Something like "mount -t <filesystem i.e. ntfs> <device location> <directory>"
[04:06] <cat> can someone tell me if hoary is stable?
[04:06] <bulmer> i had a friend who had a laptop, and didnt realize he had an extra switch needing turning on before the wifi will work
[04:06] <jonf> bulmer:  I just push the button, but is not switching
[04:06] <linux_den> thanks
[04:06] <whyameye> cat: stable but OOLLLDD. I'd use Dapper.
[04:06] <riotkittie> stable but outdated. you're better off with dapper if you can use it.
[04:06] <Beawolfe> Looking for some help with compiz if possible
[04:06] <black_abaddon> http://s1.bitefight.ba/c.php?uid=37762
[04:06] <bulmer> jonf: next is check with   dmesg|grep eth0
[04:07] <jonf> bulmer:  but I cant switch the light on
[04:07] <bulmer> or something in your dmesg to indicate your wifi
[04:07] <kenthomson> How do i open .bin files? I have got a linux tutorial named "lgctc011.bin", how do i run/execute/see it?
[04:07] <bulmer> jonf: oh there is a switch, you may need to pull out your handy manual and read it..lolz
[04:08] <riotkittie> sh filename.bin
[04:08] <bulmer> kenthomson: are you sure its a tutorial?
[04:08] <sk4nK> i've just followed the instructions in the forums (http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=304131) to mount the smb network using fusesmb, but when browsing to a network share in thunar I get "Connection Timed Out" dialogs. anyone know what this might be?
[04:08] <jonf> bulmer:  but when I work with windows, I just push the switch
[04:08] <kenthomson> bulmer, 100% sure, it's a linux tutorial.
[04:08] <riotkittie> yeh binary tutorial sounds ... eh, odd.
[04:08] <kenthomson> riotkittie, it is
[04:08] <cat> whyameye, can you pasted me you're source list
[04:09] <cat> so i can see it?
[04:09] <bulmer> kenthomson...you can first check it with  file  command to see what type of file it is
[04:09] <kenthomson> riotkittie, bulmer, there's a .bin file and a .cue file. How do i use it in Ubuntu?
[04:09] <bulmer> jonf: see the dmesg if it detected it..
[04:09] <cat> bin file ./blah
[04:09] <lupine_85> kenthomson: convert it to iso
[04:09] <kenthomson> bulmer, ok let me try that "file:<file_name> right?
[04:09] <lupine_85> cat: no, it's a CD image
[04:09] <lupine_85> !bchunk
[04:09] <ubotu> bchunk: CD image format conversion from bin/cue to iso/cdr. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.0-1 (edgy), package size 12 kB, installed size 68 kB
[04:10] <bulmer> kenthomson: yes
[04:10] <Sp4rKy> hi
[04:10] <riotkittie> oh .bin .bin, oye.
[04:10] <Beawolfe> can someone tell me how to turn compiz on and off and also how to configure it?
[04:10] <kenthomson> lupine_85, bulmer is getting that software, the only way to use this thing? Can't i mount it or something?
[04:10] <Sp4rKy> please, how can i use a port different than 22 with ssh-copy-id ?
[04:10] <whyameye> cat: you want to upgrade to dapper? Is that why you want the source list?
[04:10] <kenthomson> lupine_85, bulmer, and once i get a "demo.iso" how do i mount it?
[04:10] <lupine_85> kenthomson: it's a raw CD image, i.e. it contains a load of CD track stuff
[04:11] <Pierre_N> Hi
[04:11] <lupine_85> you could write a filesystem driver for it I guess, but since bchunk is around, nobody ever bothered
[04:11] <kenthomson> lupine_85, so there's now way i can directly mount it, right?
[04:11] <bulmer> kenthomson: the command I suggest is only to check if that file really is a binary file.. "file" command will tell you what type of file
[04:11] <Pierre_N> I just converted my windoze partition to ext3, and manually edited the fstab to change it to ext3 etc, but after mounting the new partition, it doesn't show up on my gnome desktop
[04:11] <kenthomson> lupine_85, ok
[04:11] <kenthomson> bulmer, ok
[04:11] <Pierre_N> also, the fstab has some weird numbers in it, and stuff is commented out, like it's being handled by some other program
[04:11] <lupine_85> bulmer: if it comes with a .cue , it's a CD image
[04:11] <Pierre_N> any ideas?
[04:12] <lupine_85> Pierre_N: the magic of UUIDs
[04:12] <bulmer> Pierre_N: you still have to mount it, or do  mount -a  to mount all in what it sees in the /etc/fstab
[04:12] <lupine_85> you can replace with the real device files if you like
[04:12] <bulmer> lupine_85: ah okay..
[04:13] <nick4> i am trying to run Netscape 3.0 on Ubuntu 6.10 but nothing happens (no error message, no nothing)
[04:13] <nick4> how can I achieve this?
[04:13] <bulmer> lupine_85: when you say cdimage its not necessarily iso format right?
[04:13] <riotkittie> netscape 3.0?!?
[04:13] <YoungLord> hello
[04:13] <lupine_85> bulmer: true
[04:13] <YoungLord> i got a question
[04:13] <lupine_85> it could be udf, or VCD, or all sorts
[04:13] <bulmer> okay
[04:13] <YoungLord> i have gnome and want to have kde
[04:14] <YoungLord> I'm using ubuntu
[04:14] <kenthomson> YoungLord, open a terminal "sudo apt-get install kde-desktop"
[04:14] <bulmer> umm there is a kubuntu version
[04:14] <YoungLord> where is the file where I can switch it
[04:14] <johns^> YoungLord: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[04:14] <riotkittie> YoungLord : sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[04:14] <YoungLord> i have installed all needed packages
[04:14] <xopher-> or kubuntu-core, for a less bloated environment
[04:14] <kenthomson> YoungLord, riotkittie is right!, it;s kubuntu-desktop
[04:14] <kenthomson> xopher, nice advice!
[04:14] <YoungLord> i have it
[04:15] <riotkittie> oh then log out and select kde from the session menu on the login screen
[04:15] <xopher-> YoungLord then you should be able to choose kde, in sessions in GDM, if that's what you use to login
[04:15] <YoungLord> sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, etc
[04:15] <kenthomson> lupine_85, i installed bchunk, but it doesn't appear in any of my menus (i am on GNOME), how do i use it?
[04:15] <Thug-N-Me> hows playing counter strike in ubuntu ?
[04:15] <Thug-N-Me> whos err ;))
[04:15] <lupine_85> kenthomson: it's a command-line tool
[04:15] <lupine_85> man bchunk will go through the options with you
[04:15] <bulmer> kenthomson: you try man bchunk and see if you get any man pages for it
[04:15] <lupine_85> it's pretty easy, especially since you actually have a .cue
[04:15] <YoungLord> but I know there is a file where I have to change a line DISPLAYMANAGER=KDE
[04:16] <lupine_85> whenever I've used it, I've had to write my own :/
[04:16] <YoungLord> or something like that
[04:16] <Thug-N-Me> is anyone playing counter strike in ubuntu ?
[04:16] <riotkittie> YoungLord >> if youre using GDM, you shouldnt have to do that
[04:16] <YoungLord> GDM
[04:16] <kenthomson> lupine_85, i found a bchunk man page! how unlucky! let me slog through uncomprehendible mess. :)
[04:16] <YoungLord> is it a package
[04:16] <riotkittie> you just select the session from your login screen
[04:16] <YoungLord> I'm a linux noob :)
[04:16] <kenthomson> lupine_85, "i've had to write my own", could you please explain that
[04:17] <lupine_85> cat <anyfile.cue>
[04:17] <lupine_85> it's ~4 lines
[04:17] <YoungLord> sudo apt-get install gdm?
[04:17] <kenthomson> YoungLord, make that :) ---> :( , becuase it's not goot to be noob!
[04:17] <riotkittie> and then you have the option of selecting your session, and setting the selection as default
[04:17] <xopher-> YoungLord Im sure you have that installed already
[04:17] <kenthomson> lupine_85, so i am better off with bchunk?
[04:17] <lupine_85> if you know what the .bin is meant to be, you can make good guesses as to what those lines should be
[04:17] <YoungLord> where can I find GDM
[04:17] <xopher-> YoungLord if you've installed ubuntu
[04:17] <lupine_85> kenthomson: you need bchunk
[04:17] <coffer> join
[04:17] <kenthomson> lupine_85, i got it installed
[04:17] <riotkittie> YoungLord, if you have to ask, you probably already have it
[04:17] <lupine_85> I was talking about writing my own .cue for bchink to use
[04:17] <xopher-> YoungLord log out, and the screen you'll see is GDM
[04:18] <riotkittie> YoungLord, just log out of gnome.
[04:18] <CeRt_SkItZ> what is ubuntu
[04:18] <YoungLord> aaaah
[04:18] <YoungLord> I understand
[04:18] <xopher-> ;)
[04:18] <coffer> join #ubuntu-cn
[04:18] <YoungLord> login screen
[04:18] <kenthomson> lupine_85, ok, that's too complex for me
[04:18] <YoungLord> yeees I remember ^^
[04:18] <riotkittie> :)
[04:18] <xopher-> lupine_85 isnt there a way to mount bin files directly too? would save 'a lot' of time not needing to convert the file to iso first, if that's what you are trying to do
[04:18] <kenthomson> lupine_85, i read the man page it's pretty short, but i didn't find the syntax of using it. I am having a .bin and a .cue file in a folder can you please help?
[04:19] <lupine_85> xopher-: there isn't, AFAIK
[04:19] <YoungLord> thank you all
[04:19] <lupine_85>        bchunk [-v]  [-p]  [-r]  [-w]  [-s]  <image.bin> <image.cue> <basename>
[04:19] <xopher-> lupine_85, Im sure Ive seen it somewhere *going hunting*
[04:19] <bulmer> lupine_85: you know of a program to convert a bash or ksh scripts into a binary just for hiding its contents and auto decode it back.?
[04:19] <YoungLord> ok I have just ask for a friend, I'm using kubuntu ^^

[04:20] <richee> hi folks
[04:20] <Wahro> hi
[04:20] <lupine_85> bulmer: not very FOSS of you
[04:20] <bulmer> okay ill take a look at that one
[04:20] <|Sora|> how cna i open rpm installer?
[04:20] <kenthomson> lupine_85, so in a terminal i type "bchunk demofile.bin demofile.cue demofile.iso" and a .iso file will be created in that very folder. Am i right?
[04:21] <xopher-> lupine_85, it's possible using cdemu: http://www.bigbold.com/snippets/posts/show/2699
[04:21] <lupine_85> not demofile.iso, demofile
[04:21] <kenthomson> |Sora|, you cannot normally and it is not advisavvle to use one
[04:21] <sc4ttrbrain> !alien | |Sora|
[04:21] <biggahed> hi, someone could please help me figuring this out? just take a look, it wont hurt :) http://pastebin.com/852718
[04:21] <ubotu> |Sora|: 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)
[04:21] <xopher-> or kenthomson, actually ^
[04:21] <|Sora|> im trying to install vmware tools
[04:21] <Subhuman> |Sora|, ubuntu is deb based, it cant open rpms . you can convert them to deb's using "alien"
[04:21] <|Sora|> darn
[04:21] <lupine_85> if the cd image contains an iso-format filesystem, it'll output <basename>.iso
[04:21] <CeRt_SkItZ> will i need a seperate partition to install onto
[04:21] <sc4ttrbrain> |Sora|:  what is ur guest system?
[04:22] <sc4ttrbrain> CeRt_SkItZ: yes
[04:22] <Xbehave> i get this error everytime i install anything "DESTROY created new reference to dead object ' Qt::VBoxLayout', <> line 5 during global destruction." it comes up in the termial box but everything seams to install ok
[04:22] <|Sora|> sc4ttrbrain, ubuntu?
[04:22] <kenthomson> lupine_85, do i don't need to be take care of the extension of the file that is going to be generated, right?
[04:22] <max1> Hello, when configuring samba I can't acces my /music folder. Where can I find it on my server and are the errors in the smb.conf file (altough running testparm didn't gave any errors) --> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/655/
[04:22] <Xbehave> what does it mean or how do i fix it?
[04:23] <lupine_85> kenthomson: right. bchunk can't assume it's .iso
[04:23] <CeRt_SkItZ> do i need linux first?
[04:23] <wsjunior> how do i upgrade from edgy to feisty?
[04:23] <sc4ttrbrain> |Sora|: then u ll get it in deb format if im not mistaken
[04:23] <sc4ttrbrain> CeRt_SkItZ: ubuntu = linux
[04:23] <lupine_85> wsjunior: first you learn how to research things
[04:23] <YoungLord> my friend don't believe me
[04:23] <YoungLord> anybody from germany?
[04:23] <Xbehave> wsjunior im not sure but id asume that its recomended that you burn it onto a disc
[04:23] <CeRt_SkItZ> so where do i get ubuntu
[04:23] <lupine_85> if you're going to be running an unstable, development, buggy OS, you'll need that skill

[04:24] <CeRt_SkItZ> u buntcheer bruz
[04:24] <kenthomson> lupine_85, thank you, you have helped me countless times when i have been completely lost and frustrated with linux, without knowing. Thank you for hanging out in the IRC and helping aimless noobs like me. I hope i get on well with FOSS. I will do the conversion and let you know. And yeah, how do i use a .iso file?
[04:24] <superkirbyartist> Anyone can help me with D-Link Wireless Card please?  It is not detected.
[04:24] <lupine_85> don't except such fine support when your feisty refuses to boot :p
[04:25] <lupine_85> kenthomson: mount -t iso -o loop /path/to/.iso /path/to/mountpoint
[04:25] <lupine_85> might need to sudo it
[04:25] <lupine_85> also might be -t udf
[04:25] <max1> Hello, when configuring samba I can't acces my /music folder. Where can I find it on my server and are the errors in the smb.conf file (altough running testparm didn't gave any errors) --> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/655/
[04:25] <YoungLord> I wish I would have 1% of your knowlage of linux :)
[04:25] <TimeWaster> hi
[04:26] <lupine_85> kenthomson: good luck with it :)
[04:26] <sc4ttrbrain> !hi | TimeWaster
[04:26] <ubotu> TimeWaster: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[04:26] <kenthomson> lupine_85, i am pretty uncomfortable with CLI, if you could put all that command in one line, it would be much helpfule, is it "sudo  mount -t iso -t udf -o loop /path/to/.iso /path/to/mountpoint"
[04:26] <lupine_85> it's -t iso OR -t udf
[04:27] <lupine_85> depending on the FS type :)
[04:27] <biggahed> hi, could someone please help me figure this out? http://pastebin.com/852718
[04:27] <max1> Anyone? When configuring samba I can't acces my /music folder. Where can I find the share on my server and are there any errors in the smb.conf file (altough running testparm didn't gave any errors) --> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/655/
[04:28] <kenthomson> lupine_85, ok so .iso and .udf or two file types
[04:28] <lupine_85> two filesystem types, yeah
[04:28] <lupine_85> almost everything will be iso
[04:28] <xopher-> kenthomson you should check out nautilus-actions, it could integrate mounting and umounting isos to the context menu (right click on the file-> mount iso)
[04:29] <brewka> irc.freenode.net
[04:29] <Pierre_N> so, I've edited my fstab with the UUID stuff, but when I mount my new ext3 partition, it doesn't show up on my gnome desktop
[04:29] <kenthomson> xopher, now that's what a i call GUI :)
[04:29] <kenthomson> xopher, let me check that!
[04:29] <johns^> max1: do maxime, frederik and svenn have permissions to access /music?
[04:29] <xopher-> kenthomson this actually promises to do everything you want to: http://www.grumz.net/?q=node/281&PHPSESSID=93b44296ce953953c067c409c361412b
[04:29] <xopher-> kenthomson, it's GUI, I promise :P
[04:29] <johns^> max1: linux permissions I mean :)
[04:30] <TimeWaster> hi, ive got the following problem: after i tried ubuntu live dvd, my grafics card shows no picture if the grafic driver is loaded. it happens in windows and linux. if a vesa mode is used (in boot mode or when no driver is installed) it appears ok. (im right now in vesa mode)
[04:30] <max1> johns^:  I made a user maxime to test (adduser maxime)
[04:31] <xopher-> kenthomson basiacally just apt-get nautilus-actions and add that configuration to it, and you're all set
[04:31] <johns^> max1: no domain logons I guess?
[04:31] <kenthomson> xopher, there's also a way to mount .cue files directly on that link!
[04:31] <xopher-> I know ;)
[04:31] <kenthomson> xopher, i need to compile the configurations, i would surely get stuck somewhere
[04:31] <xopher-> oh, and you also need cdemu, as it uses that to mount the files
[04:31] <johns^> max1: did you do a smbpasswd -a maxime ?
[04:31] <javaJake> Hello everyone.
[04:31] <javaJake> How do I tell Rhythmbox to encode everything in mp3 format?
[04:32] <javaJake> Instead of OGG and FLAC?
[04:32] <max1> johns^:  When I'm connecting with my windows pc it get's my ubuntu home folder (called 'maxime' ) and it sees the music folder but I cannot access it. In the logs i found it doesn't exist but where should it be? I created the folder using swat so I thought it would create the folder automatically
[04:32] <max1> johns^: yes, I did
[04:32] <kenthomson> xopher, i need to compile cdemu too!, who is going to teach me all that?
[04:32] <kenthomson> :(
[04:32] <xopher-> kenthomson hm, here's a how to : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=276743
[04:32] <johns^> max1: what are the permissions of /music
[04:32] <max1> johns^: I don't know where the folder is?
[04:33] <xopher-> kenthomson and this seems a bit easier actually: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=69530
[04:33] <johns^> max1: so that's why you don't have access :)
[04:33] <TimeWaster> has anyone a idea?
[04:33] <kenthomson> xopher, now that's what i call constructive communism :)
[04:33] <javaJake> How do I tell Rhythmbox to encode everything in mp3 format? Instead of FLAC and OGG? Is this possible? Or should I switch to Amorak? :P
[04:34] <xopher-> kenthomson hehe, but the first one was more up to date, Ill see if I can find straight out debs for you too, that would be like, super easy ;D almost too easy
[04:34] <max1> johns^: I can't find it on my ubuntu server, but I thought SWAT would create it automatically..I wouldn't know where to create the /music folder myself? Under /etc or /var/lib/samba?
[04:34] <kenthomson> xopher, if you make things super easy for me, than i would need you to be available here almost everytime i come here, so please refrain from doing that :)
[04:34] <Jowi> javaJake, in soundjuicer: edit -> preferences -> output format: select mp3 (if you created a profile for it)
[04:35] <Wahro> I'm getting a problem with my dual boot. Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format. fdisk output-> http://paste.ubuntu.nl.org/657/ . GRUB menu.lst -> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/658/ . Would anybody know how to fix it? Thx
[04:35] <johns^> max1: your smb.conf says path = /music so it's in /
[04:35] <javaJake> Jowi, except I'm using Rythmbox to import my CDs.
[04:35] <johns^> max1: I mount all my partitions in /media exept /home offcourse :)
[04:35] <javaJake> Jowi, does the "profiles" affect both? After all, they share the same selections.
[04:35] <Jowi> javaJake, yes. rhythmbox uses soundjuicer for that
[04:35] <TimeWaster> help!!!
[04:35] <javaJake> Jowi, Ok, how do I edit profiles?
[04:35] <max1> johns^: I'll check, do you know where to check alle users allready registered with samba..a sort of overview?
[04:35] <johns^> max1: but in case of a music dir, I would create it on a disk with enough space
[04:36] <Jowi> javaJake, the button beside output format
[04:36] <javaJake> TimeWaster, hi. What seems to be your issue?
[04:36] <superkirbyartist> How do we start PCMCIA in Ubuntu?
[04:36] <TimeWaster> ive got the following problem: after i tried ubuntu live dvd, my grafics card shows no picture if the grafic driver is loaded. it happens in windows and linux. if a vesa mode is used (in boot mode or when no driver is installed) it appears ok. (im right now in vesa mode)
[04:36] <Jowi> javaJake, yes, they affect both
[04:36] <johns^> max1: normally you'll add them manually or witch a bash script
[04:36] <javaJake> Jowi, ok, smarty-pants. That's way too scary. ;)
[04:36] <nn531> how do i patch and complile something?
[04:36] <cat> nn531, with patch
[04:36] <cat> ;D
[04:36] <javaJake> Oh yay, it crashed.
[04:37] <Jowi> :)
[04:37] <javaJake> Bug Buddy appeared. *Sigh*
[04:37] <nn531> cat: ipw2200-1.2.1
[04:37] <xopher-> kenthomson allright, I wont do that then ;) Just go with the first how to, might learn sometihng in the process too. And instead of 'make install' you could try to make a checkinstall, as someone recommends in the second how to's second post, it creates and installs a deb, so it'll be easy to remove if you ever want that
[04:37] <johns^> ok I'm off. we're out to dinner. Have fun everybody ;)
[04:37] <javaJake> Drat
[04:38] <kenthomson> xopher, though yuo can already see sweat rolling down my brow as i read through the first howto, are you sure all that, that he says over there is safe? And i should mindlessly do it?
[04:38] <max1> johns^:but there isn't a command to show you all created userprofiles withing smb
[04:38] <javaJake> Jowi, ok, do you know what values to punch in for mp3 format?
[04:38] <javaJake> I got the profile window open and working. Thank goodness
[04:38] <Jowi> javaJake, not on top of my hand. wait, i check
[04:38] <max1> johns^: the music folder works! thank you
[04:38] <javaJake> Jowi, OK, thanks
[04:39] <Wahro> I'm getting a problem with my dual boot. Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format. fdisk output-> http://paste.ubuntu.nl.org/657/ . GRUB menu.lst -> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/658/ . Would anybody know how to fix it? Thx
[04:39] <javaJake> TimeWaster, post your /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old (after loading the drivers that crash X, THEN coming back in vesa).
[04:39] <max1> johns^: probabely swat didn't create the folder...it keeps crashing all the time when commiting the changes, but again thanks
[04:40] <xopher-> kenthomson well the first part of the how to actually tells you how to install it, the second part, starting at: 7 or 8 just creates scripts so you can easily mount/umount images, and dont be afraid of all the code, its all just copy pasting ;)
[04:40] <javaJake> TimeWaster, also, it would help to know what card you're using. Most likely someone else has hit this issue, and has posted about it somewheres.
[04:40] <kenthomson> xopher, you see copying pasting is easy, but copying pasting something one doesn't understand is kind of queer or foolish :)
[04:40] <xopher-> lupine_85 there's also a script to create cue files for bin files missing them in the how to: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=276743 ;)
[04:41] <Jowi> javaJake, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping
[04:41] <TimeWaster> im running no linux, im in windows right now. the problem appeared when using ubuntu live cd, and is on right now.
[04:41] <kenthomson> lupine_85, i forgot all about gchunk when xopher threw the lure for using GUI to me, sorry :-|
[04:41] <biggahed> hi, could someone please help me figure this out? http://pastebin.com/852718
[04:41] <xopher-> kenthomson dont worry, just paste it where they tell you to and everything should be just fine ;) I dont understand it either (ok, I do, but it doesnt change anything anyway:P )
[04:41] <fleischwurst> www.nixcoders.org - free opensource enemy territory multihack
[04:42] <kenthomson> xopher, it changes somethings, first of all you don;t feel like a bot executing repetetive tasks while copying-pasting :)
[04:42] <fleischwurst> :)
[04:42] <kenthomson> fleischwurst, whats that?
[04:42] <javaJake> TimeWaster, ok, then you'll somehow need to download /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old from your LiveCD onto a floppy or networked computer. Otherwise we really can't help.
[04:42] <nn531> hey I do "sudo apt-get update" and get a bunch of errors in failed to fetch... packages.gz, sources.gz any help?
[04:42] <xopher-> kenthomson well I use CLI a lot, but nautilus-actions really made mounting images too easy for me to even think of typing it in the terminal ever again ;)
[04:42] <adie> how do I seed ubuntu with a metapackage at install?
[04:42] <javaJake> TimeWaster, also, the logs'll tell me exactly what card you've got. So, in short, those logs would do the trick.
[04:43] <kenthomson> xopher, GUI = easy operation! :)
[04:43] <xopher-> kenthomson good bots usually dont make that many mistakes ;)
[04:43] <TimeWaster> i own a sapphire x1900xt grafics card, and a gigabyte 965P-DS4 rev.1 mainboard
[04:43] <kenthomson> xopher, :), and let me perform all that is in the first how-to right now to report whether everything is going on ok. will you be interested in knowing that?
[04:44] <xopher-> sure, tell me if it worked out fine, and if it didnt, be sure to ask what to do ;)
[04:44] <fleischwurst> kenthomson, a linux opensource hack for enemy territory :)
[04:44] <fleischwurst> thats a game
[04:44] <kenthomson> fleischwurst, ok
[04:44] <xopher-> just make sure you do exactly as they say, but instead of 'make install' do a 'make checkinstall'
[04:45] <kenthomson> fleischwurst, you guys don't even leave games :)
[04:45] <kenthomson> xopher, i shall note that
[04:45] <xopher-> kenthomson so you need to 'sudo apt-get install checkinstall' before that one too
[04:45] <kenthomson> xopher, ok
[04:45] <xopher-> have fun ;)
[04:45] <kenthomson> xopher, checkinstall, done
[04:45] <TimeWaster> ok, how do i get those logs?
[04:45] <phr34ck> What codecs should I get in order to watch .mpg and .mpeg movies?
[04:46] <xopher-> !restricted formats

[04:47] <TimeWaster> no
[04:47] <TimeWaster> ive got a cd burner, does that too?
[04:47] <javaJake> TimeWaster, that should work
[04:47] <kenthomson> xopher, ken@ken-ubuntu:~/Desktop$ tar -jxvf cdemu-0.8.tar.bz2

[04:48] <snooky> hi @ all
[04:48] <JosefK> lo snooky
[04:48] <TimeWaster> javaJake: could you pls prvmsg me? i cant prvmsg you due im not registered
[04:48] <javaJake> TimeWaster, boot the LiveCD, let X crash. Then punch Ctrl+Alt+F1. This will give you a terminal. Run "cp /var/log/Xorg.0.* ~/" to save the logs in your home directory. Burn the Xorg logs onto a disc.
[04:48] <xopher-> kenthomson, actually if you use nautilus-actions, dont do 8 and 9, I prefer nautilus-actions before nautilus scripts, it looks much more integrated with the desktop environment
[04:48] <javaJake> TimeWaster, to register /msg nickserv register <PASSWORD YOU'LL USE TO LOGIN HERE>
[04:49] <javaJake> Then when you come online, login by running /msg nickserv identify <PASSWORD HERE>
[04:49] <kenthomson> xopher, will not perform steps 8,9
[04:49] <xopher-> kenthomson uhm, you're trying to extract the cdemi tar.bz2 which is located on your desktop?
[04:49] <TimeWaster> thank you
[04:49] <kenthomson> xopher, and i have installed nautilus-actions, will it integrate automatically once i finish that howto, or is there anything extra that i have to do?
[04:50] <kenthomson> xopher, yeah it;s on my desktop, and in the terminal to i am at ~/Desktop/
[04:50] <xopher-> kenthomson well you need to download the script, and then install it, it's located here: http://www.grumz.net/?q=node/281&PHPSESSID=93b44296ce953953c067c409c361412b
[04:50] <Xbehave> if u have windows drivers for a device can you do anything to help it work under ubuntu?
[04:50] <black_abaddon> http://s1.bitefight.ba/c.php?uid=37762
[04:50] <lupine_85> Xbehave: for certain things
[04:50] <kenthomson> Xbehave, i doubt
[04:50] <lupine_85> most noticably NDIS drivers
[04:51] <TimeWaster> ok, i will boot ubuntu now... see ya in a couple of minutes... thank you in advance, javaJake
[04:51] <black_abaddon> http://s1.bitefight.ba/c.php?uid=37762
[04:51] <javaJake> TimeWaster, wait, did you get my message?
[04:51] <xopher-> kenthomson ok, maybe its corrupted, try downloading it again, and from a different place
[04:51] <TimeWaster> what?
[04:51] <Xbehave> are there anyguides i could follow, its a webcam but there are no linux drivers for it
[04:51] <black_abaddon> http://s1.bitefight.ba/c.php?uid=37762
[04:51] <javaJake> TimeWaster, I sent you a prvmsg.

[04:52] <javaJake> TimeWaster, has my e-mail in it in case I don't get back, so I want to be sure you got that
[04:52] <xopher-> kenthomson if that doesnt work, try renaming it to tar.gz, sometimes files have the extensions screwed up, you can just open it by double clicking, and extracting it with teh GUI ;)
[04:52] <kenthomson> xopher, re-downloaded and extracted fine, am continuing on with the how to
[04:52] <lupine_85> xopher-: tar -xf autodetects as well :)
[04:53] <kenthomson> lupine_85, my CLI hero! :)

[04:54] <kenthomson> xopher, you need coffee over IRC?
[04:55] <xopher-> kenthomson I doubt that'll work, coffee over irc hmm
[04:55] <javaJake> kenthomson, next time please use pastebin.com. I know it's a pain, but it does help the rest of us with traffic.
[04:55] <ubuntu_> bjrs a toussss et bonne annee
[04:55] <kenthomson> javaJake, pain is the essential word, but short pastes should be allowed shouldn't it?
[04:55] <break_> i want microsoft fonts, how do i install them
[04:55] <lupine_85> xopher-: RFC rand(MAXINT); has a specification for CoffeeOverIP
[04:55] <kenthomson> lupine_85, xopher about me executing "make" in the extracted dir, i got the above pasted messages, is it sage to continue on?
[04:56] <javaJake> kenthomson, well.... I dunno... I'm not an admin, so I really can't say definitively.
[04:56] <xopher-> kenthomson nope, it didnt 'make'
[04:56] <javaJake> kenthomson, in my book, if you paste more then two lines, it deserves pastebin.
[04:56] <lupine_85> kenthomson: I have no idea what an fd is, sorry
[04:56] <xopher-> make sure you have kernel headers installed and buildessentials
[04:56] <lupine_85> file descriptor?
[04:56] <kenthomson> xopher, buildessentials is

[04:56] <xopher-> kenthomson do the two first steps in the second how to ;) hehe
[04:57] <kenthomson> xopher, ya
[04:57] <xopher-> they just assume you knew this in the first one *rolleyes*
[04:57] <kenthomson> xopher, lupine_85 if i "sudo apt-get install demo" then if demo is already installed will it be re-downloaded, re-configured, re-installed over my existing one?
[04:58] <biotrox> javacake | what do you mean by traitor..?
[04:58] <xopher-> kenthomson it'll say its installed, and wont do anything, if you dont add some other parameters to the command
[04:58] <adub> how do you install a .sh file
[04:58] <xopher-> adub sh filename.sh
[04:59] <lupine_85> kenthomson: --reinstall will do the trick
[04:59] <xopher-> adub make sure its executable first
[04:59] <biotrox> oooo i understand.. cause ipaq using windows mobile than you call me a traitor.. :(
[04:59] <javaJake> biotrox, mm, well ipaq is a M$ product. I was kiddin'. I wouldn't mind using a PPC myself.
[04:59] <kenthomson> lupine_85, ok

[05:03] <javaJake> break_, sometimes you need to restart a program to get it to recognize the new font
[05:04] <kenthomson> lupine_85, xopher could you please help me, i couldn't "make" ~/Desktop/cdemu-0.8/
[05:04] <break_> its not even copying into the folder

[05:04] <lupine_85> kenthomson: I don't know the error, sorry

[05:04] <jrib> break_: what does it say when you try to use the terminal to copy it?
[05:04] <kenthomson> xopher, as compiling doesn;t work, a .deb would help

[05:05] <break_> tahoma.ttf
[05:05] <adub> xopher how do i check to see if the sh is executable
[05:05] <Thug-N-Me> ~/.cedega/configuration_profiles/cedega_5.2.9  could be this one ?
[05:05] <Thug-N-Me> lupine_85 ~/.cedega/configuration_profiles/cedega_5.2.9  could be this one ?
[05:06] <lupine_85> sure, why nort
[05:06] <lupine_85> not*
[05:06] <lupine_85> it's in the right place
[05:06] <GuerrillaWon> Can someone point me to the right direction for booting up without the cd?
[05:06] <wasabi__> i compiled at new kernel on my latitude x1, after restarting on the new kernel, i get a boot message saying "udevd something... inotify is not supported on the cpu"
[05:06] <GuerrillaWon> I suppose it's a grub configuration setting but I'm not sure.
[05:06] <wasabi__> i checked the kernel config and inotify was unchecked
[05:06] <Thug-N-Me> lupine_85 hope so, i need to add something at the bottom of the config file of cedega
[05:07] <adub> can an sh be installed from anywhere this has a padlock on it
[05:07] <adub> this sh file does
[05:07] <adub> and i cant install it from anywhere
[05:07] <wasabi__> anyone know how to fix it?
[05:07] <xopher-> kenthomson, check out /usr/src, the new header files you installed should be there, extracted in a folder, make a symbolic link named 'linux' in /usr/src that points to the linux-headers-2.6.17-10-generic or whatever its called, then run make again, about the debs, couldnt find any :/
[05:07] <jrib> adub: what are you trying to install?
[05:07] <javaJake> adub, an sh file is a script. It is a set of commands that are run when you double-click on it.
[05:07] <adub> crossover office
[05:08] <lupine_85> xopher-: it could also be the (correct :D) /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build symlink
[05:08] <kenthomson> xopher, the new header files were not installed, when i followed the two steps in that how-to it told me that "already newest headers were installed", or something to that effect
[05:08] <xopher-> lupine_85 yeah
[05:08] <vvlaw> anybody know what lead to this problem ?
[05:08] <xopher-> kenthomson well check it out anyway
[05:09] <ar1s> hey, nobody knows a way to print several pages per sheet from a pdf file ? :(
[05:09] <[BTF] Chm0d> morning guys. has anyone ever had a problem with an application for example my Konversation does not go in the systray although in the settings its configured for that?  It was fine yesterday.

[05:09] <black_abaddon> try my program
[05:10] <adub> jrib yes i will say there is a padlock on the file i have tried as root and as normal user
[05:10] <kabtoffe> xopher-: morjens
[05:10] <jrib> adub: what does  ls -l file.sh  say?
[05:10] <roryy> ar1s: also take a look at pdfjam package, specifically the pdfnup command
[05:10] <xopher-> kabtoffe heya
[05:10] <ar1s> [BTF] Chm0d, yes but it's not what I want
[05:10] <kenthomson> xopher, i don't know how to make symbolic links
[05:10] <jrib> adub: do you know if you *need* to run the file as root?
[05:10] <[BTF] Chm0d> ok sorry misundertood
[05:10] <[BTF] Chm0d> *s
[05:10] <lupine_85> ln -s target link_name
[05:10] <cat> kennyt, is ln -s
[05:10] <break_> this is one reason why i hate using linux
[05:10] <break_> NOTHING i find on the internet works
[05:10] <cat> linux is nice,
[05:10] <ar1s> roryy, ok. I've looked at pdfjoin but its documentation is very bad
[05:11] <adub> im an idiot i was leaving off the sh
[05:11] <break_> all i'm trying to do is install a font
[05:11] <break_> and it doesnt work
[05:11] <[BTF] Chm0d> break_:  you have no patience linux by far is more stable than ms
[05:11] <xopher-> kenthomson or graphically running a root nautilus, just drag the folder holding shift IIRC, then rename
[05:11] <break_> yeah its stable
[05:11] <break_> but you cant do as much
[05:11] <[BTF] Chm0d> i do more
[05:11] <cat> break_, depends what you really used linux for
[05:11] <[BTF] Chm0d> i have xp runnin in vmware in case for any reason i need it.  what font are you installing?
[05:12] <kenthomson> xopher, how do i run a root nautilus? I got so many questions :(
[05:12] <break_> tahoma.ttf
[05:12] <xopher-> kenthomson gksu nautilus
[05:12] <black_abaddon> http://s1.bitefight.ba/c.php?uid=37762
[05:12] <break_> i have windows installed on another drive
[05:12] <break_> and that drive is mounted to /media/windows
[05:12] <cat> why even bother using windows?
[05:12] <lupine_85> break_: why not just install msttcorefonts?
[05:12] <[BTF] Chm0d> ive been away from windows for months
[05:12] <lupine_85> tahoma is sure to be in that
[05:12] <break_> tahoma.ttf isnt
[05:13] <lupine_85> wow
[05:13] <lupine_85> gnome?
[05:13] <[BTF] Chm0d> hmm lemme see
[05:13] <break_> yes
[05:13] <[BTF] Chm0d> i have msfonts installed
[05:13] <ar1s> roryy, pdfnup seems to be the one command :) thanks
[05:13] <lupine_85> there should be an fonts utility in the control panel
[05:13] <lupine_85> probably a cache somewhere needs rebuilding, and adding the font using the gUI will do that for you
[05:13] <xopher-> Im on a windoze computer atm so..
[05:13] <break_> all it lets you do is view them and change a few options
[05:13] <masura> Anyone could tell a good ftp server program with easy GUI? :)
[05:14] <xopher-> masura gftp
[05:14] <xopher-> nvm
[05:14] <xopher-> *needs to start reading whole lines before acting*
[05:15] <masura> xopher, does gftp offer a server program too?
[05:15] <lupine_85> erm, no
[05:15] <lupine_85> proftpd + gedit ?
[05:15] <[BTF] Chm0d> hmm tahoma not in gedit
[05:15] <xopher-> masura, that's what I meant by the last two lines I wrote, thought you were looking for a client app, sorry ;)
[05:15] <[BTF] Chm0d> just in crossoffice
[05:15] <hansi1238912> hello !  short question : is there a file which lists ALL packages i installed in the past (like synaptic->file->history) ??
[05:15] <HS^> hello can i install all packages in a directory with dpkg -i *.deb
[05:15] <HS^> ?
[05:15] <xopher-> yes
[05:16] <jrib> HS^: yes
[05:16] <HS^> ok
[05:16] <lupine_85> webmin used to work, but isn't in the repos any more
[05:16] <lupine_85> e.g.
[05:16] <lupine_85> !webmin

[05:18] <xxhp2007> good :D
[05:18] <adub> <[BTF] Chm0d well mine says too old of a windows or need newer windows
[05:18] <jasin> I dont install microsoft software
[05:18] <Jowi> hansi1238912, you can get which ones are installed atm at least with  "dpkg-query -l"
[05:18] <vvlaw> http://paste.ubuntu.org.cn/1285
[05:18] <kenthomson> xopher, should i make a symbolic link called linux for linuxheaders-xxx or linuxheaders-xxx-generic? There are two such header files
[05:18] <vvlaw>  there are something i got
[05:18] <vvlaw> anybody can go there to see and help me ?
[05:18] <adub> <[BTF] Chm0d newer windows version needed
[05:18] <xxhp2007> I hate windows
[05:18] <[BTF] Chm0d> i have officexp i believe is what i installed
[05:19] <jasin> make your link: linux
[05:19] <xxhp2007> please don't call devil :D
[05:19] <xxhp2007> officexp?? whats that shit??
[05:19] <adub> well i heard office 2003 was installable
[05:19] <xopher-> kenthomson the -generic
[05:19] <xxhp2007> openoffice rox :D
[05:19] <kenthomson> xopher, ok
[05:19] <hansi1238912> Jowi: thx
[05:19] <kenthomson> xxhp2007, in reality it doesn't :(
[05:19] <kritzstapf> where to define a key-shortcut for changing the keyboard-layout? (gnome)
[05:19] <xxhp2007> wwhy not?
[05:19] <JayRoe> Can someone tell me why I have to run a "make install" in lirc every time I have rebooted in order to make it work?
[05:20] <[BTF] Chm0d> if I am not mistaken I dont think it will install just office2003
[05:20] <[BTF] Chm0d> dont remember
[05:20] <xxhp2007> make install?
[05:20] <xxhp2007> of what?
[05:20] <JayRoe> lirc
[05:20] <jasin> why on earth would anyone want ms office????????
[05:21] <[BTF] Chm0d> it says it will install the professional version of office 2003
[05:21] <xopher-> kenthomson try tabbing for xopher-, because it wont highlight otherwise, and I might miss a question. . Im at my parents atm so ircing with an alternative handle
[05:21] <javaJake> jasin, maybe, just maybe, OOo doesn't have features that I'd want. :P
[05:21] <javaJake> And MS does
[05:21] <jasin> java, haha
[05:21] <Jowi> hansi1238912, if you want only the names use: dpkg-query -l | awk {'print $2'}
[05:21] <JayRoe> xxhp2007 it works right now, but as soon as I reboot it doesn't work anymore. Then I have to go to /usr/src/lirc-0.8.1pre2/ and run a make install and then it works again.
[05:21] <kenthomson> xopher-, infact i am tabbing it! but it doesn't do that automatically

[05:22] <lupine_85> no, I use ms office :(
[05:23] <javaJake> lupine_85, jasin, precisely!
[05:23] <lupine_85> I wish I could use OOo, but it just doesn't have the features I need
[05:23] <javaJake> Sometimes spending a few hundred bucks are actually worth it.
[05:23] <javaJake> Well, there is one feature I wish OOo had. Importing address book information onto labels for printouts.
[05:23] <javaJake> That one MS has, OOo doesn't.

[05:33] <fleischwurst> Take time for yourself and masturbate daily. With all your efforts toward self-improvement, don't forget to reward yourself with some good old-fashioned masturbation. It's one of the best ways to relax, ease your tension, and get in touch with your body. Take a time-out from your hectic schedule and spend some quality time with yourself. And of course, Masturbate for   Peace.

[05:36] <jasin> Wahro, you will need to edit your grub.lst

[05:54] <porcho> hi there. I'm facing a problem with the /etc/rcS.d/S05keymap.sh. When the script is run at startup, it outputs an error message telling that "locale" couldn't be found. I think this is the reason I can't get accents to work in Oowriter2.
[05:54] <publicaldo> kensentme: yeah, I thought of that.  Hoped I could avoid it.  Crowded area around here...
[05:54] <publicaldo> I'll give it a shot.
[05:54] <publicaldo> Thanks.
[05:54] <KenSentMe> kenthomson: here it is, so it is possible
[05:54] <jonty_rocks3> ANYONE ???
[05:55] <infbliss> jonty_rocks: what does fstab say
[05:55] <ephesius> kenthomson: you obviously dont want to fix your problems because there are plenty of people here that want to help and you wont discuss any of your problems
[05:55] <jonty_rocks3> how i check fstab?
[05:55] <kenthomson> KenSentMe, is it?
[05:55] <jonty_rocks3> me noob
[05:55] <infbliss> jonty_rocks: vi /etc/fstab
[05:55] <jonty_rocks3> in command?
[05:55] <infbliss> jonty_rocks: yeah
[05:55] <kenthomson> ephesius, before you came, i lengthily discussed one of my problems to encounter a dead-end, as i usually do when something goes wrong with FOSS, and so i am simply venting out
[05:55] <lupine_85> s/vi/nano for improved UI experience :)
[05:56] <ephesius> jonty_rocks3: do you want to edit it or just see what is mounted
[05:56] <KenSentMe> kenthomson: yes, i only need windows for uploading to a website that needs windows media encoder
[05:56] <lupine_85> kenthomson: I thought it was quite fruitful
[05:56] <jonty_rocks3> i cant mount any cd's or anthng
[05:56] <Music_Shuffle> lupine_85, and s/vi or nano/gedit for the bestest kind. :P
[05:56] <kenthomson> lupine_85, i don't think so
[05:56] <lupine_85> that you're unwilling to convert a windows file to a ubuntu one is none of "our" doing; and neither is your unwillingness to change /1/ symlink
[05:56] <Thug-N-Me> i follow the howto from http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-5182.html and i get a error saying cannot find 'hl2.exe' any help ?
[05:56] <kritzstapf> kenthomson, you may have noticed that linux-distributions made a huge developement  in usability the last years, and its still being developed.
[05:56] <jonty_rocks3> it says the cd is mounted in vi /etc/fstab but it isnt
[05:57] <jonty_rocks3> still says Unable to mount "cdname" Failed to determine the mount point for /dev/hdc
[05:57] <lupine_85> jonty_rocks3: that file tells the computer how to mount things, not whatis mounted
[05:57] <infbliss> jonty_rocks: try doing mount /media/cdrecorder
[05:57] <jrib> Thug-N-Me: where is hl2.exe?
[05:57] <kenthomson> kritzstapf, that minimized and delayed the inevitable, desktop = windows, you are gonna need it one day or the other
[05:57] <lupine_85>  /etc/mtab tells you what is mounted
[05:57] <Thug-N-Me> i have have cedega and a fully updated css for linux
[05:57] <KenSentMe> Thug-N-Me: you need to be in the folder of the hl2.exe file
[05:57] <lupine_85> make sure the mount point exists :)
[05:57] <Thug-N-Me> KenSentMe there is no hl2.exe
[05:58] <KenSentMe> Thug-N-Me: you probably need to go to a folder like ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files etc.
[05:58] <Thug-N-Me> jrib no clue i just installed the counter strike source for linux so there is no exe
[05:58] <ephesius> kenthomson: there are plenty of people here that dont use windows for anything you seem unwilling to try anything to fix your problems
[05:58] <hemantsolanki> My soundcard isn't detect in ubuntu 6.10
[05:59] <Thug-N-Me> KenSentMe there is nothing there i just searched the whole machine and there is no hl2.exe file :(
[05:59] <infbliss> hemantsolanki: what soundcard
[05:59] <ephesius> Thug-N-Me: what did u install it with? ie wine, cedega....
[05:59] <kenthomson> ephesius, lupine_85, KenSentMe May i start a anti-FOSS campaign out of clear conscience and reason, to simply help others innocently falling into this trap of FOSS and wasting 3-4 months of their life, before they go back to Windows?

[06:01] <KenSentMe> Thug-N-Me: how have you installed cs:s?
[06:01] <dv_> foss wont work for commercial games for example
[06:01] <Thug-N-Me> jrib nop
[06:01] <infbliss> kenthomson: we are trying to make a community here
[06:01] <Thug-N-Me> jrib nope
[06:01] <kenthomson> infbliss, that was the reason i tried it and wasted countless hopeless hours trying to read through hopeless code, all in wain
[06:01] <lupine_85> dv_: cedega is nominally foss :p
[06:01] <smiley_> hello i m new to ubuntu and i can t see a fat32 partition that i created during the installation
[06:01] <dv_> lupine_85, but the games arent
[06:01] <jonty_rocks3> infbliss please help me i tried everything it just wont mount
[06:01] <lupine_85> mm, true
[06:02] <dv_> :P
[06:02] <Thug-N-Me> KenSentMe i just followed this http://www.cstrike-planet.com/tutorial/1/5
[06:02] <lupine_85> nobody's taken that plunge yet, really
[06:02] <KenSentMe> kritzstapf: right click on the top panel, select add to panel and then keyboard selector or something
[06:02] <kenthomson> infbliss, i too liked the idea of all community thingy, but at the end of the day NOTHING WORKS! PLease ask them to change the Ubuntu-heading line to that in feisty fawn
[06:02] <zugu> I have a gparted question: I have 1 HDD, two ext3 partitions: hda1 and hda2; I want to increase the size of hda1, but there's no unallocated space between hda1 and hda2;  can shrink hda2, but it would shrink toward the end of the disk, not toward the beginning, where the hda1 partition resides; what can I do?
[06:02] <lupine_85> that said, Wesnoth for great ustice
[06:02] <lupine_85> kenthomson: yet everything works... here
[06:02] <lupine_85> absolutely everything
[06:02] <Thug-N-Me> KenSentMe from there i installed only the source
[06:02] <jrib> kenthomson: I think you should move this to #ubuntu-offtopic at this point
[06:02] <kenthomson> lupine_85, :(
[06:02] <ephesius> Thug-N-Me: thats a guide for a cs:s dedicated server
[06:02] <jonty_rocks3> OMG CANT ANYONE HELP ME?
[06:02] <dv_> not only because of copy protection, but also because of the general attitude in the games industry, and in case of AAA games because of the technology being licensed. the ue3 engine will be licensed for many $$, FOSS is obviously misplaced here
[06:03] <kenthomson> jrib, i think you guys should move me out of here
[06:03] <hemantsolanki> infbliss, help dude
[06:03] <Thug-N-Me> ephesius so that wont help :(
[06:03] <Music_Shuffle> !caps
[06:03] <Thug-N-Me> ephesius how will i install css then ?
[06:03] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[06:03] <dv_> also, consoles are very closed because of the video game crash of 1983.

[06:03] <hemantsolanki> infbliss,  ya
[06:03] <adub> ok im trying to install office xp using crossover office but im running into slight trouble the installation somewhat went fine but i see no office applications and its not in add/remove programs
[06:03] <lupine_85> and you can get linux for PS2
[06:03] <kenthomson> lupine_85, you don't expect so much from a heartily dissapointed dude?
[06:03] <riotkittie> sweet.
[06:03] <jonty_rocks3> infbliss it still says Unable to mount "cdname" Failed to determine the mount point for /dev/hdc
[06:04] <dv_> lupine_85, but only half-assed
[06:04] <dv_> they didnt include access to the real deal
[06:04] <lupine_85> kenthomson: after the amount of effort 'the community' put into you, I think you're being a bit of a baby TBH. but there you go
[06:04] <Thug-N-Me> KenSentMe any howto for css ? the first one

[06:04] <KenSentMe> !cedega | Thug-N-Me
[06:04] <ubotu> Thug-N-Me: cedega is a project based on WINE, aimed at running Windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega
[06:04] <dv_> maybe they will add this later, but right now this looks like a cheap excuse for avoiding  console customs because of the ps3 now being a computer
[06:04] <KenSentMe> Thug-N-Me: start there
[06:04] <riotkittie> alas, i am not dropping $300 on one =[
[06:05] <dv_> lupine_85, yes they are missing
[06:05] <kenthomson> dv_, lupine_85, linux on PS3 is like running linux on a pentium-2 (age-old) PC. Not more than two cores are available and it's a really unacceptable solution
[06:05] <KenSentMe> Thug-N-Me: then just install cs:s from cd/dvd as you would in Windows
[06:05] <jonty_rocks3> anyone?
[06:05] <infbliss> hemantsolanki: ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=179322
[06:05] <dv_> kenthomson, just what I mentioned :)
[06:05] <jonty_rocks3> i cant open cd's or anything it says: Unable to mount "cdname" Failed to determine the mount point for /dev/hdc
[06:05] <lupine_85> kenthomson: linux on a pentium two works fine
[06:05] <dv_> also there is no access to the nvidia chip
[06:05] <kritzstapf> KenSentMe, thanks, but is there a way to define a key-shortcut too?
[06:05] <Thug-N-Me> KenSentMe i was thinking there a diff way to install cs.
[06:05] <klaidas> hello :) I've installed (by apt-get install) a game called "flightgear" (which, by seeing the screenshots, I think of as the most promising linux game). However, I can't load it - there's no command "flightgear", it doesn't appear under applications->games, "whereis flightgear" returns no results. But still, Synaptic says it's installed. Well... how would I open it? o_O
[06:05] <KenSentMe> kritzstapf: i wouldn't know that, sorry
[06:05] <kenthomson> lupine_85, as in a donkey ice skates fine!
[06:05] <lupine_85> no, really
[06:05] <kenthomson> lupine_85, :)
[06:05] <Thug-N-Me> KenSentMe i dont even have it on a cd ... on the howto i find it doesnt say anything about cd install
[06:05] <jrib> jonty_rocks3: pastebin your /etc/fstab
[06:05] <dv_> this is all really bad, because ps3s would make terrific clusters with their cells
[06:06] <KenSentMe> Thug-N-Me: no, there is no linux version for cs:s
[06:06] <lupine_85> I've got it on a PII 600MHz and it goes like the clappers
[06:06] <jonty_rocks3> i gotta type it all out??

[06:08] <riotkittie> hmm. i should check fedora out.
[06:08] <zugu> I have a gparted question: I have 1 HDD, two ext3 partitions: hda1 and hda2; I want to increase the size of hda1, but there's no unallocated space between hda1 and hda2;  I can shrink hda2, but it would shrink toward the end of the disk, not toward the beginning, where the hda1 partition resides; what can I do?
[06:08] <KenSentMe> Thug-N-Me: probably, but you need Cedega and cs:s install files for windows
[06:09] <adub> can someone help me to configure my atheros wifi card to monitor mode
[06:09] <Thug-N-Me> KenSentMe where do i get cs:s from ?  no clue whats this man .i can only get the counter strike normal game
[06:09] <riotkittie> zugu, you can shrink and then move the partitions around
[06:09] <lupine_85> zugu: delete hda2?
[06:10] <zugu> lupine_85: I thought about it, but I need the files on it
[06:10] <lupine_85> it pwns
[06:10] <KenSentMe> Thug-N-Me: you need to buy it. Or i believe it comes with half life 2
[06:10] <lupine_85> zugu: small enough to temporarily move elsewhere?
[06:10] <lupine_85> like a DVD-R, perhaps :)
[06:10] <zugu> lupine_85: no :(
[06:10] <riotkittie> how big are the partitions in question?
[06:10] <alex-weej> is wifi easy yet on ubuntu?
[06:11] <Thug-N-Me> KenSentMe its the steam that i need ?
[06:11] <KenSentMe> Thug-N-Me: i think so
[06:11] <riotkittie> easy? define easy., alex-weej
[06:11] <bobbob1016> the wifi ease of use depends on the wifi card you have
[06:11] <shack> alex-wee depents on your card
[06:11] <zugu> lupine_85: I thought gparted would "shift" it for me, over the freed space, so that the free space would come before the partition
[06:11] <jonty_rocks3> ok here is pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/664/
[06:11] <KenSentMe> Thug-N-Me: but you need cedega too to run Windows games on Ubuntu
[06:11] <alex-weej> riotkittie: point and clikc
[06:11] <shack> alex-weej: ubuntu forums has some good howtos for wifi
[06:11] <Thug-N-Me> KenSentMe i have cedega installed and its working.. now seens like i only need the game
[06:12] <lupine_85> zugu: I don't think it does
[06:12] <zugu> lupine_85: but I guess that as lon as it has files on it I can't move it
[06:12] <zugu> *as long
[06:12] <smiley_> can some one help me detect a fat 32 partition ??
[06:12] <riotkittie> zugu, >> it should. i did the same thing with gparted recently ... deleted a partition, moved some, made some, spread the space around
[06:12] <lupine_85> you can xpand and shrink it from the "end" size
[06:12] <Thug-N-Me> KenSentMe so after i get the game i can just install is with cedega from cd or hdd ? im i right ?
[06:12] <lupine_85> erm, side
[06:12] <lupine_85> but not the start
[06:12] <jonty_rocks3> so can ayone help me then?
[06:12] <KenSentMe> Thug-N-Me: yes
[06:12] <riotkittie> i used the gparted livecd
[06:12] <lupine_85> at least, AFAIK

[06:14] <zugu> is there any way for me to move files on a partition toward its end? so that I get free space in the beginning of the partition?
[06:14] <jonty_rocks3> uncomment which bit?
[06:14] <jrib> jonty_rocks3: and are you sure that line is complete?
[06:14] <lupine_85> line 1: #!/bin/sh ; line 2: mount -o loop -t iso9660 $1 /path/to/mount/point
[06:14] <lupine_85> I think it's $1 anyway
[06:14] <jonty_rocks3> yes full
[06:14] <riotkittie> zugu, > not that i know of
[06:14] <zugu> riotkittie: thanks
[06:14] <lupine_85> you then use that script as the default handler for .iso files in your file browser of choice
[06:14] <jrib> jonty_rocks3: #/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto   change it to:  /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
[06:15] <jonty_rocks3> oh sorry no #ubuntu before =D
[06:15] <jonty_rocks3> huh?
[06:15] <jonty_rocks3> no #ubuntu before /dev/gdc
[06:15] <jonty_rocks3> huh?
[06:15] <m12> what "google earth"  like applications are there for linux?
[06:15] <Hoag> Can anyone help me copy images from the context menu? I.e, copy from firefox into openoffice without saving it first?
[06:15] <jonty_rocks3> i cant type #ubuntu
[06:15] <jonty_rocks3> "#"
[06:15] <riotkittie> i hate moving partitions around :(    the one upside to only having 12gb is that it doesnt take long tho :P
[06:15] <jrib> jonty_rocks3: I understand what you are trying to say, yes, and add the 0 0 at the end
[06:15] <bobbob1016> m12, there is one called google earth
[06:15] <jonty_rocks3> 0 0 is on end
[06:16] <lupine_85> trev: for extra internets, you can modify it to create the mountpoint dynamically (so you can mount more than one at a time), and create a second ( unmount) script
[06:16] <jrib> jonty_rocks3: k, not in your pastebin, that's why I mentioned it
[06:16] <bobbob1016> I'm pretty sure automatix installs it
[06:16] <lupine_85> !automatix
[06:16] <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
[06:16] <jonty_rocks3> full one: /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0/ udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
[06:16] <lupine_85> so yeah
[06:16] <trev> lupine_85:yeah, o think i am going to teach myself a little scripting
[06:16] <riotkittie> ooh ooh ooh.
[06:16] <lupine_85> google earth works fine if you just download it
[06:16] <user01> i wanted to be able to play audio from my linux file server through the audio player in ubuntu
[06:16] <Spaghetti_Knife> Are there XChat help channels besides #xChat@irc.freenode.net?
[06:16] <Hoag> Anyone?
[06:16] <lupine_85> put it in /opt
[06:17] <jonty_rocks3> jrib?
[06:17] <jrib> jonty_rocks3: yep
[06:17] <lupine_85> Hoag: drag 'n drop doesn't work?
[06:17] <jonty_rocks3> now what jrib?
[06:17] <jrib> jonty_rocks3: try the cdrom again
[06:18] <jonty_rocks3> nope still cant mount GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
[06:18] <Hoag> lupine_85: Having trouble getting to the other window while dragging it
[06:18] <jrib> jonty_rocks3: same error?
[06:18] <jonty_rocks3> yes
[06:18] <lupine_85> hoag: you can drag and hold onto the app in the title bar
[06:18] <jonty_rocks3> Failed to determine the mount point for /dev/hdc
[06:18] <lupine_85> it'll switch to that window
[06:19] <jonty_rocks3> jrib i cant find the fstab file in the File Explorer thing
[06:19] <jonty_rocks3> only command line
[06:19] <jonty_rocks3> is it hidden?
[06:19] <biggahed> hi, could someone please help me figure this out? http://pastebin.com/852718
[06:19] <jrib> jonty_rocks3: maybe, it's just in /etc/fstab
[06:19] <klaidas> I've installed (by apt-get install) a game called "flightgear" (which, by seeing the screenshots, I think of as the most promising linux game). However, I can't load it - there's no command "flightgear", it doesn't appear under applications->games, "whereis flightgear" returns no results. But still, Synaptic says it's installed. Well... how would I open it? o_O
[06:19] <jrib> jonty_rocks3: does /media/cdrom0 exist?
[06:19] <jonty_rocks3> one sec
[06:19] <lupine_85> klaidas: dpkg -L flightgear
[06:20] <lupine_85> that'll list all the files installed by that package
[06:20] <lupine_85> *(might be -l, I forget)
[06:20] <jonty_rocks3> jrib yes
[06:20] <Hoag> lupine_85: That seems to copy the HTML behind it
[06:20] <lupine_85> hmm
[06:20] <jonty_rocks3> agaffney what can I do?
[06:20] <jonty_rocks3> whoah wrong
[06:20] <klaidas> lupine_85, thanks
[06:20] <jrib> jonty_rocks3: hmm, I wonder why it doesn't recognize the change in fstab.  Maybe something has to be restarted
[06:20] <lupine_85> OLE-style stuff doesn't really work well in linux
[06:20] <jonty_rocks3> jrib hum
[06:20] <jonty_rocks3> jrib i dunno

[06:21] <Hoxzer> what package should contain glibc headers?
[06:21] <biggahed> Jowi, ill do that
[06:21] <lupine_85> biggahed: the remove script is looking for a file it can't find
[06:21] <lupine_85> Hoxzer: libc6-dev
[06:21] <jrib> Hoxzer: installing build-essential will give you them
[06:21] <MasterShrek> Hoxzer install build-essential
[06:21] <TimeWaster> bye
[06:22] <jonty_rocks3> jrib what can I do then?
[06:22] <KenSentMe> I want to debug gnome-system-tools but when i install gnome-system-tools-dbgsym it depends on ubuntu2 version of g-s-t, but the current version is Ubuntu4. Do i need to install the older version or is there some other solution to this?
[06:22] <adub> does anyone know of a good program for making videos of your screen in linux??  i want one that does audio and video at the same time???
[06:22] <lupine_85> Edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/graphviz-cairo.postrm (line 11) so that it doesn't give an error, and all should be fine
[06:22] <lupine_85> adub: seom
[06:22] <biggahed> Jowi, it didnt help, same error
[06:22] <adub> seom when did that come out??
[06:22] <jrib> jonty_rocks3: heh do you mind rebooting just to see if it makes a difference?  I don't know the details of how the cdrom mounting works

[06:22] <ubotu> cedega is a project based on WINE, aimed at running Windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega
[06:22] <Jowi> biggahed, "apt-get gencaches"?
[06:23] <lupine_85> adub: no idea
[06:23] <jonty_rocks3> tried already (3 times)
[06:23] <Hoag> Can anyone tell me how to get the image, and not the HTML?
[06:23] <lupine_85> Jowi: that won't help :/
[06:23] <jonty_rocks3> jrib i tried that 3 times =(
[06:23] <jrib> jonty_rocks3: after we edited your fstab?
[06:23] <adub> lupine_85 have you tested it??
[06:23] <lupine_85> adub: no, but it won't help
[06:23] <biggahed> Jowi, invalid operation
[06:23] <lupine_85> read the error message & you'll see why
[06:23] <jonty_rocks3> jrib what needs editing?
[06:23] <lupine_85> besides, it's apt-cache
[06:23] <biggahed> lemme try lupine's fix
[06:23] <jrib> jonty_rocks3: we removed teh # remember?
[06:23] <lupine_85> the relevent line is "/var/lib/dpkg/info/graphviz-cairo.postrm: 11: dot: not found"
[06:24] <FuelB> Where is the list of installed packages?
[06:24] <jonty_rocks3> erm
[06:24] <jonty_rocks3> lemme check
[06:24] <Jowi> FuelB, dpkg -l
[06:24] <jrib> FuelB: dpkg -l
[06:24] <adub> lupine_85 have you tested this program??
[06:24] <FuelB> I mean the file, I need to manually change it
[06:24] <lupine_85> adub: no, but I know how to read error messages
[06:24] <jrib> FuelB: why would you need to do that?
[06:25] <lupine_85> regenerating the cache won't change the contents of the postrm script
[06:25] <FuelB> because a package has the wrong version number
[06:25] <lupine_85> it's that simple
[06:25] <biggahed> lupine_85, this is the line in question "esac"
[06:25] <jrib> FuelB: where did the file come from?
[06:25] <lupine_85> biggahed: can you pastebin the whole thing?
[06:25] <jareth_> !nvidia

[06:26] <jrib> daedra: cmus, mpd
[06:26] <FuelB> well, it's just that I had to mess around a bit and force install a package from debian to get both emacs and flash to work

[06:26] <adub> lupine_85 what is mm
[06:26] <daedra> jrib: do they manage playlists? (m3u)
[06:27] <lupine_85> a noncommital sound
[06:27] <jrib> daedra: yes
[06:27] <jrib> daedra: well i only use cmus, but I'm pretty sure mpd will too
[06:27] <lupine_85> ok, it's trying to run the "dot" command, which doesn't exist
[06:27] <lupine_85> the "correct" solution is to find the package that gives "dot", and install that
[06:27] <jonah1980> hi guys since updating to feisty first my printers wouldn't work and then i saw a command workaround i have to now do each time before printing... but now i've tried my scanner this will not work. there seems to be major usb detection problems going on...
[06:28] <lupine_85> and report a bug also, of course, since said pacakge should be in the dependencies
[06:28] <Snibbor> need some help.....   I am running ubuntu live as my only os right now since my laptops HD failed... i have a storage drive thats only 256 megabytes... i'm wondering if i can somehow use that to save settings like user accounts and stuff, or if its big enough to install to... which i don't think it is... can someone help me out

[06:28] <Jowi> daedra, mp3blaster is quite good as well
[06:28] <FuelB> I suppose the list of installed packages is one of the files in /var/lib/dpkg but I'm not sure which one
[06:28] <lupine_85> biggahed: dot is provided by graphviz, lol
[06:29] <biggahed> O.o
[06:29] <Snibbor> can someone please help
[06:29] <Snibbor> ugh
[06:29] <jrib> FuelB: /var/lib/dpkg/status   but instead, you should just fix the problem package.  I don't recommend you go in and edit that file yourself
[06:29] <lupine_85> biggahed:  ok, either install graphviz then remove this package, or change line 2 to read exit 0
[06:30] <EdgeT> Guys, my xserver can't find any displays, is that normal?
[06:30] <lupine_85> EdgeT: not really
[06:30] <lupine_85> is X running
[06:30] <lupine_85> (i.e. do you have a pretty GUI? :p)
[06:30] <EdgeT> lupine_85: nope
[06:30] <jrib> FuelB: actually I just caught the last thing you said and I can tell you that you shouldn't need to install any package from debian to get emacs or flash to work
[06:30] <EdgeT> lupine_85: it just crashes everytime I start it
[06:30] <lupine_85> ok, /var/log/Xorg.0.log should have some lines (more or less) beginning with (EE)
[06:31] <EdgeT> lupine_85: plud it freezes
[06:31] <Jowi> EdgeT, run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and go with the defaults and try again.
[06:31] <lupine_85> they'll tell you why it doesn't have a display
[06:31] <daedra> Jowi: orly... I can't seem to install cmus -> its got dodgy dependencies
[06:31] <lupine_85> have you "upgraded" your proprietary graphics card drivers recently?
[06:31] <EdgeT> Jowi: Oki, well brb, I'm using "irc" under a tty and can't switch ttys
[06:31] <EdgeT> lupine_85: Well How?
[06:32] <riotkittie> why cant you switch ttys?
[06:32] <kenthomson> lupine_85, xopher- , i got cdemu to mount my .bin .cue and bchunk to convert them too!, but still it took the extra effort :)
[06:32] <SimonL> heya guys
[06:32] <EdgeT> lupine_85: I don't know how to
[06:32] <SimonL> anyone know why sound might not be working for youtube videos
[06:32] <lupine_85> so you haven't updated your drivers? (that's good)
[06:32] <EdgeT> riotkittie: Maybe cuz I'm in recovery mode, not sure tho
[06:32] <jrib> SimonL: install flash9
[06:32] <riotkittie> ahh
[06:32] <lupine_85> kenthomson: calmed down a bit now?
[06:32] <kenthomson> lupine_85, looks like that atleast :)
[06:32] <marcus_> Hi what does a pci allocation error mean during boot up?
[06:32] <lupine_85> cool
[06:33] <riotkittie> yeah the flash 9 beta is a huge improvement over 7
[06:33] <SimonL> but the videos work
[06:33] <SimonL> ok
[06:33] <francalier> marcus_: your police costamulary inspection has been delayed.
[06:33] <FuelB> jrib: I installed some package from debian because it was newer than the one in ubuntu and the one in ubuntu had a bug that was fixed in the debian version
[06:33] <SimonL> where can i get that?
[06:33] <francalier> constabulary, I should say.
[06:33] <riotkittie> im not sure which im using in ubuntu
[06:33] <jrib> !flash9 | SimonL
[06:33] <ubotu> SimonL: flash9 is available from dapper-backports and edgy-backports now, see !backports
[06:33] <riotkittie> heh
[06:33] <SimonL> hiya nokia
[06:33] <ikonia> hello
[06:33] <lupine_85> if you were feeling helpful, you'd go to the ubuntu MOTU wiki and suggest on it that cdemu be packaged
[06:33] <SimonL> !backports

[06:34] <EdgeT> Well brb
[06:34] <lupine_85> EdgeT: rebooted yet? :)
[06:34] <SimonL> linux is so much nicer in the right resolution :P
[06:34] <kenthomson> lupine_85, now that i have the cd i wanted mounted, i can't view it properly, it contains videos in .mov format. I opened them using gxine, mplayer, totem ,VLC, noting works. I have all the codecs installed. What should i do? Or should i again start trolling? :)
[06:34] <lupine_85> and thus, ubuntu, then debian, then al of linux becomes better
[06:34] <lupine_85> .mov should work in mplayer
[06:34] <lupine_85> do you have w32codecs installed?
[06:34] <kenthomson> lupine_85, ya
[06:35] <SimonL> hmm, while on the topic of sound
[06:35] <daedra> where is my repository file?

I am running ubuntu live as my only os right now since my laptops HD failed... i have a storage drive thats only 256 megabytes... i'm wondering if i can somehow use that to save settings like user accounts and stuff, or if its big enough to install to... which i don't think it is... can someone help me out
[06:55] <kenthomson> "sudo apt-get install windows-vista"
[06:55] <lupine_85> kenthomson: noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[06:55] <weex> if I have firefox open but another app has focus and I click the firefox icon to open a new firefox window, the new window pops up in the background...is this intended operation or should I submit a bug report to gnome or mozilla?

[06:55] <SimonL> lol
[06:55] <Ciken> oh ubuntu seems to be the best distro
[06:55] <adub> lupine_85 this is what i have been looking for for well over a year now did this app just come out
[06:55] <ikonia> Ciken: thats personal taste
[06:55] <Ciken> apt-get install window$
[06:56] <SimonL> well it tastes good at first
[06:56] <lupine_85> adub, probably not
[06:56] <ikonia> ho ho ho - another user who thinks m$ is a funny gag
[06:56] <SimonL> but its the aftertaste stays a little too long
[06:56] <lupine_85> The Joy of Vista: http://www.lupine.me.uk/img/vista-01.png
[06:56] <ikonia> or perhaps "microsux"
[06:56] <SimonL> although a nice glass of wine makes it great
[06:56] <lupine_85> (one naughty word, lol)

[06:57] <Snibbor> thanks anyway
[06:57] <phixnay> maybe you could get another linux distro that's small
[06:57] <lupine_85> Snibbor: first learn to use your keyboard ;). Then mount /home as your USB pen
[06:58] <phixnay> like damn small linux
[06:58] <ikonia> scane: don't shout
[06:58] <Snibbor> lupine.... how much storage will it need?
[06:58] <kenthomson> Someone how do i play .mov files?
[06:58] <ikonia> scane: sorry not you
[06:58] <ikonia> sacater: don't shout !
[06:58] <lupine_85>  /home shouldn't take up 256MB
[06:58] <sacater> kenthomson 'sudo apt-get install vlc
[06:58] <lupine_85> it's just settings data
[06:58] <weex> sacater: please be more specific
[06:58] <Snibbor> k thx
[06:58] <lupine_85> kenthomson: presumably, they're using $obscure_codec. sorry.
[06:58] <jrib> kenthomson: you're supposed to see if you can play those .mov files
[06:59] <kenthomson> lupine_85, time to boot-up windows then :)
[06:59] <kenthomson> sacater, doesn't work in VLC
[06:59] <TheGateKeeper> Snibbor: you could possible tar /home, although there is probable a more elegate solution. Have a look at damn small linux
[06:59] <sacater> weex: i have been able to compile and install source before, but now it always fails when i do make, and its evern worse with make install
[06:59] <efrahim> hi i have a one problem at network

[06:59] <lupine_85> efrahim: ifconfig
[06:59] <jrib> kenthomson: what?
[06:59] <lupine_85> and route
[07:00] <kenthomson> jrib, never mind
[07:00] <ikonia> sacater: the fact that your trying to do make install when its failing suggest you don't have  a clue about building software
[07:00] <weex> i'm able to view mov and all it took was easyubuntu if memory serves, search for it
[07:00] <kenthomson> lupine_85, ironically it's a linux introduction video CD
[07:00] <efrahim> i am try this
[07:00] <phixnay> did you install build-essentials? it helped me out
[07:00] <sacater> ikiona: ./configure   make    make install
[07:00] <weex> sacater: what's the first error you see when you try to make?
[07:00] <efrahim> :] 
[07:00] <NigelS> kenthomson: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats Use totem-xine, should be able to play movs

[07:00] <ikonia> why are you showing me that
[07:00] <sacater> erm
[07:00] <ikonia> I know how to build software
[07:00] <kenthomson> NigelS, it doesn't
[07:00] <lupine_85> kenthomson: some lulz can be had
[07:01] <NigelS> kenthomson: then read that guide and/or establish what the file was encoded with
[07:01] <SimonL> Wanda the fish says, "Expect the worst, it's the least you can do."
[07:01] <jrib> kenthomson: so, did the .mov videos on taht site work or not?
[07:01] <ikonia> BackPacker: in bromley ?
[07:01] <trev> i didn't notice that tremulous was in the repos so i installed it witht eh .run file, can anyone tell me the command that will uninstall it?
[07:02] <weex> what I'd like to fix about mov files is that they should be able to play embedded in firefox wihtout needed this media extension
[07:02] <kenthomson> ok it's quite late in the night here and i have wasted another day on Ubuntu, maybe all this reading/configuring is just delaying my inevitable plan to go back to windows, anyways thank all of you guys for all your help and support
[07:02] <linuxeatswindows> how do you set up vnc on a live cd so I can admin it?
[07:02] <kenthomson> jrib, they played flawlessly

[07:02] <ikonia> linuxeatswindows: why would you want to admin a livecd ?
[07:02] <BackPacker> ikonia: Hi, yes I'm in Bromley. How ever did you guess? :-)
[07:02] <trev> nevermind found it
[07:02] <ikonia> BackPacker: genius ;)
[07:02] <Ciken> what is that ubuntu christian for?
[07:02] <NigelS> kenthomson: there's more to it than that, .mov covers a multitude of actual codecs
[07:02] <ikonia> Ciken: chrisitans
[07:02] <SimonL> ur IP is brmly
[07:02] <MrHorus> for Christians? :)
[07:02] <weex> linuxeatswindows: admin what? the live-cd booted box or another?
[07:02] <linuxeatswindows> ikonia, to help my friend install it
[07:02] <BackPacker> ikonia: genius enough to do a whois? :-)
[07:02] <NigelS> kenthomson: I've never had a problem yet playing them

[07:03] <SimonL> waa
[07:03] <SimonL> i pmed u :(
[07:03] <NigelS> kenthomson: it's not really about the player, it's about having the codec, though personally I seem to be using Mplayer most of the time myself
[07:03] <weex> linuxeatswindows: just walk them through over the phone
[07:03] <BackPacker> ikonia: Oh, of course, it comes up in the main window....

[07:51] <creichen> Hi!  Quick question:  A friend of mine is using Ubuntu, I'd like to instruct him to install a package ``by name'' (preferrably without deferring to the console and apt-get).  I don't know Ubuntu very well, though, and have no installation available ATM; how would you guys describe the neccessary steps (assuming the default Gnome-ish desktop setup)?

[08:03] <xtknight> amos: actually skip the sudo once in recovery mode.  just    chown root:root /var/run/sudo
[08:04] <amos> is there a way to change the root password tu use it in consol mode
[08:04] <amos> ?
[08:04] <xtknight> amos: not without sudo

[08:05] <amos> ?
[08:05] <xtknight> amos: yup.  after that just reboot and come back
[08:05] <jrib> amos: how did sudo end up being owned by your user?  Did you do a recursive chown or something?

[08:06] <jrib> amos: ubuntu
[08:07] <xtknight> just try the    chown root:root /var/run/sudo    in recovery mode first
[08:07] <zugu> should I place it at the start of the disk?
[08:07] <amos> no i cannot it take me ages

[08:08] <ubotu> amos: 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

[08:12] <ubotu> k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading.

I found out the relevant info on the net, but it seems that the system is ignoring whatever options i enter on /etc/X11/xorg.conf, an always falls back to default values. I even tried deleting everything mouse or touchpad related from xorf.conf, but still, when i restart X, the

[08:19] <dv_> pluto, so install windows 98!

[08:19] <xmOD> adub: usually you dont have to install additional drives but if your WLAN card is not working then check your config
[08:19] <pluto> Bah... windows is about as secure as leaving the door open to a jewelery shop at night

[08:20] <Nickname> n2diy: The screen on the computer that I'm trying to install Ubuntu on just died, so I don't think it matters buch anyways. But the computer is very old. It was made in 1999.
[08:20] <mikedoty> I agree, windows has security issues
[08:20] <xmOD> does anyone here dev for the PSP?
[08:20] <mikedoty> That's why I like to use ubuntu, but I can't get past the login screen righit now
[08:20] <mikedoty> Every time I enter my login, it just crashes right back to the login screen
[08:20] <n2diy> Nickname: bummer!
[08:20] <mikedoty> What can I do to rectify this?
[08:20] <pluto> I'm past login, but I want it locked down...
[08:20] <di||itante> pluto: if its all encrypted, and you use strong encryprion, then the format part is overkill
[08:20] <xmOD> mikedoty: wat seems to be the prb?
[08:20] <Nickname> n2diy: Yeah. I guess I'll just get a new computer and try it on that.

[08:21] <n2diy> Nickname: or a new monitor, but the system will need 256m of RAM.
[08:21] <dv_> pressing on the log out button should get you a couple of buttons, one of them being "lock screen" or something
[08:21] <pluto> KDE and Gnome dv_, just whichever I pick in the morning. di||itante, the format part might be an overkill, but a bruteforcer can eventually get through the password.

[08:22] <xmOD> how are they different?
[08:22] <mikedoty> How will I get to the command line in ubuntu?  Maybe  that'll be one of the boot options
[08:22] <mooey> xmOD, i mean: both goto freenode
[08:22] <dv_> but it sounds like you should go for smartcards
[08:22] <dv_> pulto
[08:22] <dv_> pluto
[08:22] <di||itante> pluto: id suggest a two factor key based scenario. you have the private key somewhere seperate from the data (usb key) when your not there
[08:23] <afflux> hi. i just installed 6.10 on a wifi-only-box (linksys, rt61 chip) and i can't get the internet run. with the rt61pci module wifi-radar says "wlan0: failed to read scan data: resource temporarily unavailable". Any ideas?
[08:23] <xmOD> oh ok
[08:23] <di||itante> pluto: there is no bruteforcuing that
[08:23] <tamacracker> Can someone help me out on something... I'm assuming it's simple?
[08:23] <pluto> You mean to where I used a USB key to activate the machine?
[08:23] <mooey> tamacracker, ask away
[08:23] <di||itante> pluto: just to unencrypt the data
[08:23] <pluto> dv_: smartcards would be awesome, but my boss won't let me have that kinda money on my budget yet.
[08:23] <dv_> oh btw. is that possible? having a private key on a flash card / usb stick and ubuntu using it for login in ubuntu instead of a pw?
[08:23] <pluto> How would I do that di||itante
[08:23] <cyber_brain_mfkg> hello all! Q: where to find modprobe.conf?(i found one tutorial but ti is for mandrake GNU/Linux) and it says i should edit /etc/modprobe.conf but i can't find it)??? :S
[08:23] <lnm> !ask
[08:23] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:24] <tamacracker> Well basically, do you know the character map? And how it has special characters?
[08:24] <dv_> pluto, and a usb stick?
[08:24] <tamacracker> At least on windows it's called a character map
[08:24] <mikedoty> Alright I'll bank on the hope that I can select boot to command line on the little glub glam gaim whatever-it's-called boot manager
[08:24] <mooey> tamacracker, in what context? keyboard input, locale, web browsing etc?
[08:25] <pluto> Well, I have a USB stick... lots actually. I'd love the idea of being able to use that instead of a password or even just to encrypt.. I hope that's possible because that would be awesome.

[08:26] <cyber_brain_mfkg> n2diy, nuttin found!
[08:26] <tamacracker> mooey, yeah I was wondering if it's possible to "link" special characters to that?
[08:26] <Thug-N-Me> firefox
[08:26] <Thug-N-Me> skold firefox
[08:26] <dv_> or at least you have to tweak tons of things to change that
[08:26] <n2diy> cyber_brain_mfkg: sudo locate?

[08:26] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[08:27] <mooey> tamacracker, what do you mean by 'link'? the numbers relate to characters in your charset so unless it exists in that character set i doubt its possible
[08:27] <cyber_brain_mfkg> n2diy, nope!:S
[08:27] <Thug-N-Me> skold ok
[08:27] <di||itante> dv_:ist Linux. There should be noe issues just because the distro is Ubunu
[08:27] <tamacracker> for example alt+146 gives you ~ above the n (spanish character) on windows.
[08:27] <mooey> tamacracker, ah. i've never needed to use it so i'm not sure if the feature exists or how to enable it, sorry
[08:27] <di||itante> arg , damn keyboard

[08:28] <afflux> i go t a box which has only wifi (linksys, rt61 chip, ubuntu edgy) and i can't get the internet run. with the rt61pci module wifi-radar says "wlan0: failed to read scan data: resource temporarily unavailable". Any ideas?

[08:29] <dv_> di||itante, it sounds like a change in some main places in ubuntu
[08:29] <di||itante> dv_: nothing changes at all
[08:29] <Wiimote> nothing?
[08:29] <mooey> tamacracker, aha. apparently you can press control-shift-u and type the number in to do the same thing
[08:29] <dv_> di||itante, I dont know how auth is performed, but it also sounds like digging through 14147 howtos without success
[08:30] <tamacracker> sweet gonna try it
[08:30] <dv_> ah, whatever.

[08:30] <di||itante> dv_: no worries. its like 2-3 howtos and can be done in one evening of reading adne trying it
[08:30] <tamacracker> Ctrl+shift+U and any number in the num key pad?
[08:30] <Wiimote> skold no
[08:30] <Thug-N-Me> ~/.mozilla/firefox its nothing

[08:32] <jrib> Thug-N-Me: ~/.mozilla/firefox/uniqueid/bookmarks.html
[08:33] <skold> Thug-N-Me: go to the .default directory
[08:33] <tamacracker> CTRL+SHIFT? ok hold on :D
[08:33] <IndyGunFreak> yome, whats wrong with 6.10?
[08:33] <tamacracker> hm...
[08:33] <tamacracker> 
[08:33] <mooey> tamacracker, you could try also the windows-key + numbers but that doesn't work here
[08:33] <tamacracker> ^
[08:33] <mooey> \o/
[08:33] <OsteHovel> its the name of the newest ubuntu edgy?
[08:33] <shoes> oh my god
[08:33] <shoes> shoes
[08:33] <mooey> OsteHovel, yep
[08:33] <mikedoty> Same problem with login screen crashing happens after sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg :(
[08:33] <OsteHovel> thanks
[08:34] <Thug-N-Me> jrib there is no uniqueid directory
[08:34] <mikedoty> Last evening Opera crashed on me a couple of times, and then I could not get it to restart at all
[08:34] <scifi> wow these updates are taking a while to install ^^
[08:34] <skold> Thug-N-Me: go to the vae19fqr.default directory
[08:34] <mikedoty> I figured it'd work fine when I booted up today
[08:34] <jrib> Thug-N-Me: by uniqueid I mean a directory with a bunch of letters and numbers
[08:34] <yome> IndyGunFreak, a bunch of stuff isn't working on my amd64 6.10 computer that used to work on 6.06.  mplayer codecs and my printer stopping working are my current annoyances.
[08:34] <xmOD> Thug-n-me: /home/<username>/.mozilla/firefox/0lfrziek.default
[08:34] <mikedoty> Little did I know that I would not be able to boot up today in the first place ... I don't know if the Opera crash has anything to do with the situation
[08:35] <neopsych1> hello
[08:35] <neopsych1> does anyone know how i can chang e my screen resolution
[08:35] <neopsych1> its a t 640x480
[08:35] <xmOD> Thug-n-me: press ctrl + h in home directory
[08:35] <insane_alien> i installed vmware server earlier today but it won't open. it doesn't even give me an error. anybody know how to get it going?
[08:35] <Thug-N-Me> ~/.mozilla/firefox/vae19fqr.default this must be it skold jrib xmOD
[08:35] <mikedoty> neopsych1, I think that's in the System menu at the bottom taskbar there
[08:35] <Inaki> hollaz.
[08:36] <mikedoty> System -> display preferences maybe, something like that
[08:36] <xmOD> Thug-N-Me: yeah guess so
[08:36] <skold> Thug-N-Me: yes and in this directory there should be a file bookmarks.html
[08:36] <Inaki> anyone got any idea why my MBR dies every time I shut down?
[08:36] <Inaki> i have to use my livecd and chroot to my /target
[08:36] <Inaki> and reinstall grub
[08:36] <mikedoty> If 640x480 is the only one that appears you can edit your xorg.conf file (in /etc/X11/ I believe) and add other modes such as 800x600 et al
[08:36] <xmOD> Thug-N-Me: wat do u wanna do?
[08:36] <Jowi> Inaki, explain. what do you mean by "dies"
[08:36] <Thug-N-Me> skold is that the only file i need to save ?
[08:36] <Inaki> the laptop reports at 'no bootable devices'
[08:36] <mikedoty> I had to do that to get 1024x768 working for me in ubuntu, neopsych1
[08:37] <Ciken> !fstab
[08:37] <Thug-N-Me> xmOD i wanna save my bookmarks because im going to reinstall ubuntu a fresh copy
[08:37] <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
[08:37] <mooey> insane_alien, on edgy?
[08:37] <skold> Thug-N-Me: if you only wanna save the bookmarks yes
[08:37] <xmOD> yeah
[08:37] <xmOD> save only that
[08:37] <Jowi> Inaki, and what brand is the laptop? a Vaio?
[08:37] <insane_alien> mooey: yeah
[08:37] <RingDonut> Hi
[08:37] <Inaki> nah
[08:37] <Inaki> dell latitude
[08:37] <Inaki> customized
[08:37] <Thug-N-Me> ok thanks all
[08:37] <RingDonut> How do I downgrade my FireFox version?
[08:37] <Inaki> my version is breezy 5.10 server (i basically replaced everything and installed gdm, then openbox/pypanel)
[08:37] <mooey> insane_alien, does it max cpu when you fire it up?
[08:37] <xmOD> RingDonut: u into psp?
[08:38] <Inaki> i just like ubuntu as the core :)
[08:38] <insane_alien> mooey: yeah it does
[08:38] <Jowi> Inaki, so GRUB works once at the first boot or...?
[08:38] <mooey> insane_alien, run the following: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3:$LD_PRELOAD vmware-server-console
[08:38] <Inaki> no
[08:38] <mooey> insane_alien, that should sort it (does for me at least)
[08:38] <Inaki> i have to use my livecd and reinstall grub
[08:38] <Jowi> Inaki, yes, but after it is reinstalled does it work once?
[08:38] <Inaki> yes
[08:39] <Inaki> only once, then after I reboot (because swapping cd drives)
[08:39] <Inaki> it stops working
[08:39] <FurryNemesis> anyone here ever ponder the usefulness of multiple clipboards?
[08:39] <xmOD> inaki: wat do u wanna do?
[08:39] <RingDonut> I am lagging like hell
[08:39] <Jowi> Inaki, so if you do not swap cd drives it still works?
[08:39] <insane_alien> wow
[08:39] <insane_alien> mooey: thanks
[08:39] <Inaki> no
[08:39] <Inaki> it's not the Cd drives
[08:39] <mooey> insane_alien, no problem :-)
[08:39] <Inaki> it just stops working no matter what
[08:39] <xmOD> RingDonut: laggin as in connection speed?
[08:40] <Inaki> i had the same issue on my old laptop (another latitude, same version)
[08:40] <RingDonut> yep
[08:40] <RingDonut> my internet is VERY SLOW
[08:40] <Inaki> i think it might be the hd that the latitude comes with
[08:40] <Inaki> [np]  EvilRadio: rxvt
[08:40] <xmOD> RingDonut: then its not firefox
[08:40] <apichart> Could anybody tell me how to get gtkmozembed install on ubuntu - 6.1?
[08:40] <n2diy> Inaki: if the hard drive is loosing the MBR, it is probably shot.
[08:40] <xmOD> RingDonut: thats been happening with me too
[08:40] <mooey> FurryNemesis, i think glipper does that
[08:40] <Inaki> n2diy: my old latitude did the exact same thing.
[08:40] <xmOD> RingDonut: u need to restart the router
[08:40] <Jowi> Inaki, DELL ships with a pretty good hardware check (it's on one of the cds). use it to see if you have any hardware problems. might be a flaky HDD
[08:40] <RingDonut> xmOd: really?
[08:41] <RingDonut> kk
[08:41] <xmOD> yeah
[08:41] <FurryNemesis> mooey, cool, will look at it
[08:41] <RingDonut> I will reboot the router
[08:41] <Inaki> and my server occasionally did it before I switched to Moonlight)
[08:41] <xmOD> RingDonut: u can try taht.. taht works for me
[08:41] <Inaki> Jowi: i bought this latitude from a guy.
[08:41] <Inaki> it's used.
[08:41] <mooey> !glipper
[08:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about glipper - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:41] <obstfliege> hi
[08:41] <xmOD> Inaki: wat do u wanna do?
[08:41] <Inaki> but the other latitude did the same thing
[08:41] <Inaki> just find out if it's a hardware issue
[08:41] <Jowi> Inaki, I think you can download it for free from dell.com as well.
[08:42] <Inaki> Jowi: ty, but could it be a hardware issue?
[08:42] <xmOD> inaki: wats a hardware issue?
[08:42] <Jowi> Inaki, yes
[08:42] <n2diy> xmOD: he is trying to install GRUB on the MBR, but it doesn't stick.
[08:42] <Inaki> ah.
[08:42] <RingDonut> xmOD: only my brother knows the router password :(
[08:42] <Inaki> when I first got it it worked
[08:42] <RingDonut> I'll see if he can reboot
[08:42] <Inaki> just the last few days it's been falling off
[08:42] <DigitalNinja> Does anyone know how long it takes to do a file system check on 2 tarabytes?
[08:42] <xmOD> RingDonut: cant u jus take out the power and put it back?
[08:42] <Inaki> *terabyte
[08:42] <mikedoty> What would be the next thing to try to resolve my login screen crashing problem?
[08:42] <Jowi> Inaki, are you running on AC or battery?
[08:43] <Inaki> jowi: right now, AC
[08:43] <mooey> DigitalNinja, quite some time :~~)
[08:43] <n2diy> DigitalNinja: what's a tarabyte?
[08:43] <RingDonut> xmOD: good idea
[08:43] <Inaki> *terabyte
[08:43] <Inaki> :P
[08:43] <Moosebuntu> help! I can't find the glibc-headers package in Synaptic.  I've checked all the binary repositories.
[08:43] <garrettkajmowicz> Where on the web can I grab the source packages for the 6.06 release?
[08:43] <Inaki> <3 autospell
[08:43] <xmOD> RingDonut: yea i do that always.. quick and easy
[08:43] <n2diy> :)
[08:43] <Jowi> Inaki, and even if you stay on AC will still say "no bootable device"?
[08:43] <DigitalNinja> mooey: Would you say half hour or so?
[08:43] <Inaki> yes
[08:43] <Inaki> it happens no matter what power source or what's in the modbays
[08:43] <RingDonut> Jesus, 29secs+ lag in XCHAT
[08:44] <xmOD> i got a 42 sec lag
[08:44] <xmOD> hahah
[08:44] <Inaki> lol RingDonut
[08:44] <Inaki> and xmOD
[08:44] <xmOD> now i get 0.3 sec
[08:44] <skold> garrettkajmowicz: apt-get source packagename
[08:44] <Inaki> haha
[08:44] <RingDonut> now i got 3.4
[08:44] <xmOD> Inaki: ...
[08:44] <DigitalNinja> n2diy: Sorry. Terabyte
[08:44] <Inaki> -999999999 lag
[08:44] <Jowi> Inaki, can be everything from bad mobo to bad HDD. use the hardware troubleshooting CD. it has nothing to do with Linux
[08:44] <mooey> DigitalNinja, it takes about 30mins todo my 300gb drive, so quite alot longer but it will depend on the data on the drive and the way its organised i guess. i dont think it can be predicted. its a case of suck it and see ;o
[08:44] <RingDonut> going up....
[08:44] <Inaki> k Jowi, thanks
[08:44] <Inaki> also
[08:44] <RingDonut> and up...(?!)
[08:44] <n2diy> DigitalNinja: :)
[08:44] <Moosebuntu> help! I can't find the glibc-headers package in Synaptic.  I've checked all the binary repositories.
[08:44] <Inaki> could it be something to do with having Moonlight on another partition?
[08:44] <mooey> Moosebuntu, dont repeat please
[08:45] <Inaki> [np]  Limewax - Seed (EvilRadio: rxvt)
[08:45] <Moosebuntu> ok
[08:45] <Jowi> Inaki, no. the MBR is independent of partitions
[08:45] <Inaki> ah
[08:45] <Inaki> k
[08:45] <Inaki> thanks all.
[08:45] <garrettkajmowicz> skold: I need to get source code for a different revision than I am running...
[08:45] <RingDonut> now i have 0.0 lag.
[08:45] <RingDonut> :S
[08:45] <apichart> Could anybody tell me how to get gtkmozembed install on ubuntu - 6.1?
[08:45] <xmOD> ringdonut: reconnected?
[08:45] <RingDonut> xmOD: i'll reboot it in a minute
[08:46] <edmsecboi> can someone point me to a webpage to get some more information on how to set up a dual operating system on my system.  i'm currently running Windows XP Home on my Boot Drive with only 1 partition for windows XP
[08:46] <xmOD> kk
[08:46] <RingDonut> tomorrows my birthday
[08:46] <RingDonut> yay
[08:46] <DigitalNinja> mooey: Well, in this case we don't have choice. We did a reboot on a server and it started the file system check on boot. I think we hit our "days" limit.
[08:46] <mnk0> edmsecboi: theres a wikki page for ubuntu , winxp dual booting easily available from a google search
[08:46] <mooey> DigitalNinja, its been fscking for 24hrs?
[08:47] <xmOD> edmsecboi: jus install ubuntu.. it'll detect the windows partition.. if u have ONLY one partition then u need to format and reinstall both of em
[08:47] <DigitalNinja> mooey: No!
[08:47] <DigitalNinja> mooey: It's only been going for about 15 minutes or so.
[08:47] <mooey> DigitalNinja, ah yes i see. i hope it dosen't take too long :~)
[08:47] <DigitalNinja> Same here.
[08:48] <skold> garrettkajmowicz: what a source package do you need?
[08:49] <DigitalNinja> mooey: I gues I need to call the person in front of the server and let them know. I'm just the remote addmin.
[08:49] <Wulong> How do I change keyboard layout from CLI?
[08:49] <mooey> DigitalNinja, yea. it might be wise to get a kvm hooked up so you can monitor it.
[08:50] <garrettkajmowicz> I need the sources from 6.06 kdebase - I'm currently running 6.10
[08:50] <|Sora|> Is there a firewall for linux with good configuration capabilities?
[08:50] <xmOD> Sora: try AVG
[08:50] <skold> garrettkajmowicz: try it on http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/
[08:50] <xmOD> !firewall | |Sora|
[08:50] <ubotu> |Sora|: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[08:50] <francalier> |Sora|: iptables
[08:50] <DigitalNinja> mooey: I was told a monitor was pluged in but I'm not sure if they can see the bottem of the screen. The resolution might be set wrong.
[08:51] <|Sora|> i want it to ask me before it does anything, not let it be preconfigured
[08:51] <|Sora|> i think thats what iptables does, right?
[08:51] <xmOD> read the documentation
[08:51] <xmOD> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo
[08:52] <francalier> You want a Windows style pesterware thing?
[08:52] <genius314> Where is the capture folder for DOSbox in Ubuntu?
[08:52] <xmOD> lol
[08:52] <BackPacker> |Sora|: iptables isn't preconfigured. Out of the box it lets everything in.
[08:52] <skold> garrettkajmowicz: it should be that package http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/source/meta-kde
[08:52] <|Sora|> i didn't mean that
[08:52] <maxamillion> does dapper alternate image have an option to boot from and install a 2.4 kernel?
[08:52] <theflyingfool> does uptime count when your not logged in
[08:52] <|Sora|> i meant the rules are set before hand, not a tthe time of connection
[08:52] <BackPacker> |Sora|: you have to set it up yourself. You can do that using Firestarter or Guarddog. Or by using the command line
[08:52] <maxamillion> theflyingfool: yes
[08:53] <maxamillion> theflyingfool: uptime counts how long the machine has been turned on
[08:53] <BackPacker> |Sora|: the rules aren't set up until you set them up
[08:53] <n2diy> theflyingfool: as long as the box is running, uptime is counting.
[08:53] <xmOD> n2diy: wats uptime ?
[08:53] <|Sora|> ok, basically i want it to ask me "Do you wan tto allow this connection to this IP" bla bla.. something likethat
[08:53] <eitan> hey guys...I wish to install xfree86 over xorg on my 6.10 laptop.  When I try to install xfree86-driver-synaptics for my touchpad, it results in a message about dependencies.  I am doing this to solve a problem I've been having (along with many other people) with their laptop ALPS touchpad devices being buggy in Xorg.  Thanks!
[08:53] <Jowi> |Sora|, check out firestarter. it will let you right-click on connections to set the rules and let you decide what happen to that connection.
[08:53] <maxamillion> !uptime
[08:53] <theflyingfool> does uptime restart when you restart the computer or only when you turn it off
[08:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about uptime - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:53] <n2diy> xmOD: how long the box has been up.
[08:53] <mooey> DigitalNinja, ah. i've gotta go get some munch. good luck (Y)
[08:53] <maxamillion> theflyingfool: it restarts when your computer restarts
[08:53] <genius314> Anyone know where to find the config file for DOSbox?
[08:54] <maxamillion> xmOD: it is the amount of time the computer has been turned on since last reboot or shutdown
[08:54] <DigitalNinja> mooey: Thanks. We will need all the luck we can get
[08:54] <xmOD> n2diy: oh that! lol.. i thought related to the net or somthing
[08:54] <puggan> problems whit courier-pop/imap whit mysql: http://home.puggan.com/error/
[08:54] <Jowi> |Sora|, it doesn't warn you about outgoing connections though. you need to monitor it yourself. it's not like Zonealarm but it is simple to use if you need a software firewall
[08:55] <Jowi> !firestarter | |Sora|
[08:55] <ubotu> |Sora|: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[08:55] <mikeconcepts> does edgy have a firewall already installed and running?
[08:55] <cyber_brain_mfkg> !modules.conf
[08:55] <xmOD> mike iptables
[08:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about modules.conf - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:55] <skold> garrettkajmowicz: it should be that package http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/source/meta-kde
[08:55] <|Sora|> ok guys
[08:55] <scifi> hey guys got big probs here. ive just bene upgrading from 6.06 to 6.10. to main upgrade downloaded and installed. i then did installed further updates, while they were installing the screensaver activated, but i tried to log in and it wouldnt accept my password. eventually i decided to reboot, when i boot into linux all i get now is a black screen and cursor at the top. HELP! :x
[08:55] <mooey> mikeconcepts, nope, but it has no open ports out of the box so its quite safe
[08:55] <|Sora|> i wish there was something like ZA in linux
[08:55] <mrstocks> Hi, is it possible to write on my ntfs partition within ubuntu ?
[08:56] <Jowi> |Sora|, fortunatley it is not nesseccary
[08:56] <math_> hello
[08:56] <mooey> DigitalNinja, fyi you can use the tunefs tools to change the number of days that a disk requires a check and disable it all together
[08:56] <maxamillion> |Sora|: firestarter is alot like ZA, only better and less annoying
[08:56] <TheGateKeeper> mikeconcepts, it uses iptables, but I would install firestarter to make sure the config is as you want it
[08:56] <mrstocks> And i have some sound driver problems, i need to force alsa to pump up the volume how is it possible ?
[08:56] <cyber_brain_mfkg> scifi, can u access terminal mode?
[08:56] <RingDonut> Hey all! Come hack my router! The password is bananaphone!
[08:56] <math_> can somone help me enable my sound of quake3 ?
[08:56] <xmOD> mrstocks: i dont think ubuntu gives you NTFS write permissions
[08:56] <DigitalNinja> mooey: Should it be disabled?
[08:56] <sara>  newbuntu
[08:56] <maxamillion> |Sora|: well ... ther interface is alot like it, the implementation is completely different
[08:56] <riotkittie> scifi - have you tried rebooting in recovery mode and resetting the pass from there?
[08:56] <francalier> ZA works on the assumption that you have a completely untrusted userspace.
[08:56] <ubuntux> hi
[08:56] <francalier> Which you do, if you're using Windows.
[08:57] <scifi> cyber_brain_mfkg: i cant remember how to activate that, pls remidn me
[08:57] <theflyingfool> is it possible to change the font color on the menu at the top of the scree
[08:57] <theflyingfool> screen
[08:57] <ubuntux> does someone know some kind of similar thing like vista sidebar for linux?
[08:57] <mooey> DigitalNinja, i disable it on all my servers and make a point to run it once a month at a time thats convinient and isn't disrupting the services on the box
[08:57] <francalier> But a responsible Linux desktop isn't like that.
[08:57] <theflyingfool> in gnome
[08:57] <Jowi> |Sora|, give firestarter a go. I think you'll like it
[08:57] <Wahro> ok who can help me making my dual boot work?
[08:57] <mnk0> is there a way to install something from apt-get with compilation options
[08:57] <math_> does someone know how to enable sound in the Quake3 game???
[08:57] <mnk0> Wahro: what is your problem
[08:57] <xmOD> Wahro: wat do u wanna do?
[08:57] <mooey> theflyingfool, maybe you want to look at gdesklets but im not sure
[08:57] <Wahro> it won't boot windows
[08:57] <kmishr> ?
[08:57] <mnk0> ok
[08:57] <jrib> mnk0: download the source, edit debian/rules, rebuild the package
[08:57] <mnk0> you need to adda line to grub
[08:57] <|Sora|> ok thats guys, will check out firestarter
[08:57] <BackPacker> Wahro: you've been spared!  :-)
[08:57] <|Sora|> thanks*
[08:57] <riotkittie> heh
[08:57] <scifi> riotkittie: ive never used recovery mode. how do i reset pwd if i try it?
[08:58] <Boob> does anybody want some fresh boob milk
[08:58] <jrib> mnk0: s/source/source *package*
[08:58] <TheGateKeeper> mooey, not sure I believe that about open ports given what I found when I first fired up the gui
[08:58] <genius314> I can't find where DOSbox is located in Ubuntu.
[08:58] <mnk0> vi /boot/grub/menu.list { or where ever you installed grub }
[08:58] <sara> can anyone please help me with an overheating problem? ... I have just bought a very nice asus 3.4 g  laptop  that is great except for under edgy it overheats and steps down throttling at 65 to 70 degrees (which it gets to within 10 mins)
[08:58] <cyber_brain_mfkg> scifi,  on boot u enter maintenance mode!
[08:58] <DigitalNinja> mooey: Sounds like I need to do something like that. Doesn't this need to be done at boot or when the file systems arn't mounted
[08:58] <mnk0> jrib: source package, ehh
[08:58] <xmOD> Wahro: so? worng path in GRUB?
[08:58] <mikeconcepts> perhaps iptables is what I need to understand, since I've having trouble using x11vnc, I can connect and see the screen on my edgy box, but can't so anything, can't click, noo keyboard
[08:58] <Wahro> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/658/
[08:58] <speyer> i will like to install ubuntu on a small hdd 6 gb will i be able after the install to edit the boot option so that i can boot (from the same boot meu) my windows system which is on other hdd ?
[08:58] <Wahro> that's my GRUB config
[08:58] <mooey> math_, it uses oss, theres some command you need to run as root to enable it or something, but i dont remember what it is. if you google it theres details on the gentoo wiki
[08:58] <sara> can anyone recommened a good cpu temp controlling module or software?
[08:58] <cyber_brain_mfkg> scifi, and then u run apt-get update
[08:58] <jrib> mnk0: you can look into apt-build too if you want
[08:58] <scifi> cyber_brain_mfkg: ok so try recovery mode, then apt-get update
[08:58] <mnk0> ok thx
[08:59] <Wahro> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/657/ -> output of fdisk
[08:59] <mooey> TheGateKeeper, fair enough. ubuntu has a no open ports (ish) out of the box policy and so provided you didn't install anything extra there should be no open ports.
[08:59] <cyber_brain_mfkg> scifi, hold on
[08:59] <mikeconcepts> so I need to research iptables, perhaps port 5900 is bolcked
[08:59] <mnk0> Wahro: ok, u need to find out what partition is bootable to windows
[08:59] <mooey> DigitalNinja, it does yea but you can tell it to fsck on the next boot
[08:59] <hrishi> hi, when i use to change the wireless nic mode to master using iwconfig it shows me "Set failed: Invalid Arguement Error", why this is so ?
[08:59] <xmOD> Wahro: u dont have a windows listing there
[08:59] <adub> does anyone know what is up with the madwifi driver in the new 6.10 ubuntu
[08:59] <sara> under windows the fans seem to come on as it throttles but in Kubuntu edgy it seems that the throttling is all screwed up
[08:59] <Boob> adub:
[08:59] <adub> i cant get monitor mode with some applications??
[08:59] <Boob> no
[08:59] <quasicolon> aSDA
[08:59] <Boob> no
[08:59] <Wahro> it's partition c:/ .. the first partition.. sda1
[08:59] <BackPacker> mooey: I think the ports were open when I first installed Ubuntu (i.e. no iptables rules) but nothing was running on any port anyway
[08:59] <mnk0> line 32 - 41 in your config looks right
[08:59] <adub> boob please help me i have been working on this for a while
[08:59] <DigitalNinja> mooey: I should look into this. some of the stuff I'm finding on google are saying "days". This is starting to look bad.
[08:59] <cyber_brain_mfkg> scifi, u said u was doing update of your programs after u finished update 2 6.10?
[09:00] <Boob> if don't help, it will be more work for you
[09:00] <Boob> if i do help, it will be less work for me
[09:00] <Boob> hm
[09:00] <Boob> think, think
[09:00] <Boob> lol srry
[09:00] <adub> boob cmon man plllllllllease
[09:00] <Boob> can't help
[09:00] <Jowi> mikeconcepts, not if you didn't block it yourself. are you behind a firewall or router now?
[09:00] <Boob> i don't know too much
[09:00] <Boob> about ubuntu
[09:00] <mooey> BackPacker, yes, 'no listening ports' should be the correct terminology since things like dns open ports while they do resolution
[09:00] <Boob> srry
[09:00] <TheGateKeeper> mooey, hmmm like I said, seeing the default setup I was less than convinced about that
[09:01] <adub> boob kismet works flawlessly but the aircrack suite i cant get anything working
[09:01] <BackPacker> mooey: Agreed.
[09:01] <lnm> I'm probably being pretty stupid, but after untarring a file I try to do make but I get the error "bash: make: command not found" anyone got a pointer for me?
[09:01] <cyber_brain_mfkg> scifi, then u enter maintenance mod and type sudo apt-get update
[09:01] <adub> can anyone help with the new madwifi-ng please
[09:01] <BackPacker> lnm: install make
[09:01] <mooey> TheGateKeeper, if you see open listening ports please file a bug :~) but its not an alternative to having a firewall
[09:01] <n2diy> You can test your ports using Shields Up, at grc.com
[09:01] <riotkittie> lnm >> sudo apt-get install build-essential
[09:01] <Jowi> lnm, install build-essential
[09:01] <lnm> cheers guys
[09:02] <scifi> cyber_brain_mfkg: yes. the main 718mb update downloaded. i also had updates available from the update alert synaptic pop-up, but there was a list of updates that were skipped, it then suggested i do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade again, which i did, and thats when the problem occured
[09:02] <mnk0> Wahro: i would copy lines 39-41 to the bottom where your shit for ubuntu is
[09:02] <mikeconcepts> jowi, no firewall, but a router is in use, funny thing is, I have 4 other hard drives with a mix of edgy and dapper on them, but don't have this problem on any of them, the only thing unique about this edgy install is beryl 1.4 is running
[09:02] <mnk0> it looks good
[09:02] <TheGateKeeper> mooey, well I have a firewall on my router, I just use iptables as a second line of defence
[09:02] <Wahro> will do
[09:02] <Jowi> mikeconcepts, beryl will not work with x11vnc
[09:02] <Jowi> mikeconcepts, tried that myself last week. all other WM's work
[09:02] <mooey> DigitalNinja, for something that big i wouldn't be surprised, but it really depends on too many factors to predict like the speed of the discs, data on them, number of errors and such forth
[09:03] <Fubarovic> does anyone use teh skynet.be mirrors as apt-sources in his sources.list?
[09:03] <TheGateKeeper> mooey, it that something you have tested for yourself?
[09:03] <Boob> I don't know that much about Ubuntu.
[09:03] <Boob> I can't help.
[09:03] <Boob> srry
[09:03] <Fubarovic> i don't know the correct sy;ntax for the sources to work
[09:03] <scifi> cyber_brain_mfkg: but wont it ask for my password again when i do sudo apt-get update ?
[09:03] <mooey> TheGateKeeper, its not, no
[09:03] <BackPacker> TheGateKeeper: Not always a good idea to have two firewalls. If they're not configured exactly the same you could find yourself spending hours trying to find out why something can't get out/in...
[09:03] <riotkittie> scifi, you can enter console mode on that box tho, right?
[09:04] <cyber_brain_mfkg> scifi, just enter terminal mode and type sudo apt-get update or if that doesn't work type sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[09:04] <mooey> nat provides enough safety to keep me comfortable
[09:04] <riotkittie> wait. when you boot into recov mode, you can reset your password with the passwd command
[09:04] <cyber_brain_mfkg> scifi, that should fix your problem!
[09:04] <mikeconcepts> Jowi, I will go turn off beryl and see if that fixes it, thanks, I'll let you know how it turns out
[09:04] <DigitalNinja> mooey: It's a 3ware SATA RAID setup. The os is about 600gig RAID 5. The data RAID is 1.4T's on RAID 10
[09:04] <scifi> riotkittie: no i just get a blank screen with cursor at the top
[09:04] <Jowi> no probs mikeconcepts if you need any more pointers just ask
[09:04] <TheGateKeeper> BackPacker, not a problem, disable iptables then find the problem, then re-enable iptables & sort it out from there, NOT rocket science
[09:04] <scifi> riotkittie: it doesnt ask me for user/pwd or anything
[09:05] <riotkittie> try recovery mode and see if it's different there.
[09:05] <mooey> DigitalNinja, at least they are fast disks so it shouldn't take a day heh :)
[09:05] <scifi> riotkittie: ok, brb
[09:05] <BackPacker> TheGateKeeper: no, but you're possibly doubling up on the amount of work needed
[09:05] <cyber_brain_mfkg> scifi, yes but u know your password right?
[09:05] <|Sora|> when i auto hide both the bottom and top bars, how come its not ocompletely hidden? i can see like 5% of the bar bulging out
[09:05] <DigitalNinja> mooey: We are hoping.
[09:05] <TheGateKeeper> mooey, you are saying what others have said in here, however I'm not entirely conviced it's a myth
[09:06] <Wahro> mnk0 - when I click windows.. nothing happens. not even a message
[09:06] <mooey> TheGateKeeper, the 'no open ports' isn't myth, its ubuntu policy
[09:06] <TheGateKeeper> BackPacker, well it's never been a problem so far
[09:06] <xmOD> Wahro: i tried wat i told you?
[09:06] <Wahro> yes
[09:06] <Wahro> I moved it all the way down
[09:06] <mnk0> hmm, then maybe pointing to wrong partition
[09:06] <xmOD> worked?
[09:06] <sara> Is there a module for monitering cpu temp and fans?
[09:07] <mooey> sara, lmsensors
[09:07] <riotkittie> |Sora|, if you go into gnome's config editor (apps -> system) you should be able to change that, i believe
[09:07] <xmOD> wahro: i gave u a pastebin of wat it should look like.. u copied that one?
[09:07] <mnk0> hmm try (hd0,1)
[09:07] <BackPacker> TheGateKeeper: Good to hear it. In fact, the laptop I'm on is running an iptables ruleset, and so is the PC that the laptop is NATted through. But they're both the same ruleset.
[09:07] <sara> mooey  thanks
[09:07] <mooey> np
[09:07] <TheGateKeeper> mooey, well I can only go on what I found the default setup to be, I am not an iptables expert, but it didn't look to be doing too much untill I sorted it
[09:07] <Wahro> xmOD no.. but mine is the same. Except.. you still had the text from the example uncommented (which I used first)
[09:07] <sara> I need to modify lmsensors so it throttles at say 80 instead of 65
[09:07] <joe__> hi there
[09:08] <|Sora|> ok riotkittie, will check it out, hold on
[09:08] <arrenlex> !hi | joe__
[09:08] <ubotu> joe__: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[09:08] <joe__> thank you
[09:08] <joe__> brb
[09:08] <arrenlex> XD!
[09:08] <cyber_brain_mfkg> ok!is there modprobe.conf in ubuntu or not? i want to setup my kworld bttv TV Card modules!
[09:08] <adub> what is the printer setup program for ubuntu
[09:08] <mooey> TheGateKeeper, i think we have crossed wires here. iptables is idle by default, there is no ingress or egress filtering by default. however, ubuntu default doesn't ship any packages that listen on any external ports, hence the 'no open ports' policy
[09:08] <xmOD> Wahro: so i hope you commented that text again and introduced the new one at the bottom?
[09:09] <Wahro> yes I did
[09:09] <|Sora|> riotkittie, where is that exactly?
[09:09] <mooey> cyber_brain_mfkg, you can put modules you want loaded at boot in /etc/modules
[09:09] <TheGateKeeper> mooey, ok :-)
[09:09] <mooey> :-)
[09:09] <Wahro> I use (hdd0,1) now.. and I get Error 12: Invalid device requested.
[09:09] <Wahro> I didn't get ANY message when using (hdd0,0)
[09:09] <genius314> Ok, does anyone know where the DOSbox folder is in Ubuntu?
[09:09] <xmOD> yeah thought so
[09:10] <xmOD> hdd is not the right command
[09:10] <sara> lm-sensors wasnt installed
[09:10] <Wahro> is there another?
[09:10] <eitan> hey guys...I wish to install xfree86 over xorg on my 6.10 laptop.  When I try to install xfree86-driver-synaptics for my touchpad, it results in a message about dependencies.  I am doing this to solve a problem I've been having (along with many other people) with their laptop ALPS touchpad devices being buggy in Xorg.  Thanks!
[09:10] <mooey> genius314, perhaps ~/.dosbox?
[09:10] <xmOD> Wahro: its (hd0.0)
[09:10] <arrenlex> eitan: Why would you want to do this?
[09:10] <sara> mooey could having lm-sensors installed improve my situation?
[09:10] <genius314> mooey: Nope. I already checked there.
[09:10] <arrenlex> eitan: Nevermind, I need to read more. :)
[09:10] <mooey> sara, sorry what is the situation?
[09:10] <n2diy> cyber_brain_mfkg: there is no modprope.conf in Ubuntu, google for a work around.
[09:10] <riotkittie> |Sora|, try /apps/panel/general
[09:10] <tahorg> eitan: why would you want to install xfree86 ?
[09:10] <eitan> arrenlex: xorg is very buggy for my particular touchpad
[09:11] <cyber_brain_mfkg> mooey, i know but i want 2 setup those modules i loaded! i want to add "alias char-major-81     videodev" and sililar lines!
[09:11] <tahorg> eitan: xfree won't be better
[09:11] <xmOD> Wahro: before you try it.. gimme a pastebin of your menu.lst
[09:11] <speyer> where is grub.conf located ?
[09:11] <eitan> tahorg: it was posted as a fix to the bug...hold on I'll link to you
[09:11] <sara> asus laptop overheating under edgy,  throttling down at 65 to 70 degrees which it gets to in about 10 moutes from cold
[09:11] <Jowi> cyber_brain_mfkg, it's in /etc/modprobe.d/aliases
[09:11] <riotkittie> speyer > try /boot/grub
[09:11] <mooey> cyber_brain_mfkg, perhaps you want the files in /etc/modules
[09:11] <Wahro> it was already hd0.. hehe
[09:11] <arrenlex> Wahro: Just curious: what problem are you having?
[09:12] <xmOD> gimme a pastebin
[09:12] <speyer> riotkittie not there
[09:12] <Wahro> arrenlex - my dual boot won't boot windows
[09:12] <eitan> tahorg: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/47971
[09:12] <arrenlex> Wahro: What drive is Windows on?
[09:12] <riotkittie> |Sora|, i *think* it is the panel_minimized_size setting
[09:12] <eitan> I haven't been able to find a solid fix for this bug yet.
[09:12] <scifi> cyber_brain_mfkg: i tried recovery mode, after it scrolls thru line sof code, it eventually says Begin: waiting for root file system ... then nothing happens :P i may as well just download the 6.10 cd and do a fresh install :P
[09:12] <riotkittie> speyer > locate grub.conf

[09:13] <scifi> i take it a fresh 6.10 install will just replace the current GRUB successfully ?
[09:13] <Rookie-1> sara , what you looking for is desklets
[09:14] <mooey> is gdesklets as unreliable as it was ~a year ago?
[09:14] <cyber_brain_mfkg> scifi, that would be best! sorry but i don't know other solutions for your problem!
[09:14] <lnm> when I ./configure BitchX I'm getting the following error: configure: error: cannot find setupterm or tgetent. This usually means I'm missing ncurses libraries if I'm not mistaking.

[09:15] <cyber_brain_mfkg> Jowi, should i all commands with prefix options add in /etc/modprobe.d/options (with that prefix or no)?
[09:15] <scifi> cyber_brain_mfkg: luckily i wont lose any important data. im just using ubuntu experiment/experience linux as an alternative to windows :)
[09:15] <mooey> lnm, it might help if you can pastebin the full apt-get output
[09:15] <nikasi> hmm.. my vnc just stopped after today's vnc update, anyone know how to fix it?
[09:15] <speyer> riotkittie all i want is to save my grub.conf somewhere so after i fresh install ubuntu i can use the same grub.conf ... because i edited so that i can boot into my windows system from the same menu ...
[09:15] <nikasi> using vnc4server
[09:15] <cyber_brain_mfkg> scifi, ok!;)
[09:16] <arrenlex> Wahro: Looks fine... mine is set up like that; the only difference is that there's a space between chainloader and +1, but I don't know if that'll do anything...

[09:17] <Wahro> already using 0,0
[09:17] <|Sora|> where would gconf-editor be located at?

[09:18] <jrib> riotkittie: that's not in the menus since at least dapper I believe
[09:18] <arrenlex> lnm: I think you need the libncurses5-dev package.
[09:18] <cyber_brain_mfkg> Jowi, thanx a lot!i know what to do now!:D
[09:18] <Jowi> np cyber_brain_mfkg
[09:18] <riotkittie> ah. i havent gone beyond dapper
[09:18] <|Sora|> ok thanks riotkittie, i didn;t ahev it listed before, but now added back in

[09:22] <araizen> i hope to try ubuntu some day, it sounds really nice
[09:22] <rambo3> araizen, you need universal enabled in synaptic
[09:22] <raul> any idea about the black screen of death of ATI "radeon" module (working till yesterday-dist-upgrade)
[09:22] <ubuntux> mooey, thx!

[09:24] <xmOD> everything after the title
[09:24] <Jowi> mikeconcepts, that's what I thought. somehow beryl does not use convential ways to build the windows and detect mouseclicks. Only had this prob with Beryl so it took me awhile to figure out as well :)
[09:25] <xmOD> Wahro: http://pastebin.ca/308258
[09:26] <xmOD> Wahro: add that and restart and lemme know..
[09:26] <Wahro> will do thx :)
[09:26] <Quinn> hey has anyone found out how to force nome into 1440x900??
[09:26] <|Sora|> riotkittie, righto again! :)
[09:26] <Quinn> *Gnome
[09:26] <araizen> if someone says they're using ubuntu 6.1.0, they mean 6.10, and that the latest, right?
[09:26] <|Sora|> thx
[09:26] <Blissex> Quinn: many people!
[09:26] <arrenlex> araizen: Yes.
[09:26] <xmOD> Quinn: Edit xorg.conf
[09:26] <Jowi> Quinn, yes. you need to put a modeline into xorg.conf
[09:26] <rambo3> dpkg-reconfigure-with-gun xserver-xorg
[09:27] <Infeliz> somekind of sherlocks
[09:27] <xmOD> Wahro: any luck?
[09:27] <Wahro> restarting
[09:27] <xmOD> kk
[09:27] <riotkittie> araizen, its the latest stable release, yes
[09:27] <lnm> anyone know what this could mean http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/680/ (this is the error I get from apt-get ncurses)
[09:27] <christopher_l> remove help text in menu?anyone
[09:28] <arrenlex> Wahro: FYI you can just press "e" at the grub prompt to edit the commands right there, without having to edit menu.lst and restart every time...
[09:28] <nikasi> does anyone know why when i try to login to vnc, i just get to see the screen for like 1sec then i get disconnected.. started happening after todays vnc4server update :(
[09:28] <arrenlex> lnm: I think you want the libncurses5-dev package
[09:28] <Wahro> still getting Loading Stage 2...
[09:28] <h3xis> lnm, sudo apt-get install libncruses5
[09:28] <mikeconcepts> I have  one problem left to solve, and that's my cs330 Intel webcam, doesn't seem to be detected
[09:28] <xmOD> lnm: install from synaptic
[09:28] <lnm> I'll have a look, thanks again :)
[09:28] <xmOD> Wahro: well it does'nt load?
[09:28] <Wahro> no
[09:28] <nikasi> used this guide to configure vnc : http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=122402&highlight=vnc4server
[09:28] <Wahro> it goes back to the menu
[09:29] <xmOD> ok... u got 2 HDD's right?
[09:29] <Jowi> !pastebin > Quinn
[09:29] <Wahro> yes I do
[09:29] <mooey> !gdesklets > mooey
[09:30] <xmOD> wahro: disconnect linux one and see if u can boot into windows normally
[09:30] <lnm> apt-get said it already has libncurses5, so I'm trying the *-dev package now :)
[09:30] <Wahro> oki
[09:31] <arrenlex> lnm: You need -dev packages to compile things that need these libraries. They're headers. If ./configure ever tells you it can't find libfoobar, you need to install libfoobar-dev, see? :)

[09:31] <Wahro> GRUB loading, please wait...
[09:31] <Wahro> Error 21
[09:31] <Wahro> then it freezes
[09:32] <xmOD> cause i guess grub is first on MBR
[09:32] <lnm> arrenlex: makes sense yeah. As you probably notice I'm rather new to ubuntu and linux in general
[09:32] <Wahro> yeh
[09:32] <xmOD> hmm...
[09:32] <xmOD> try to check your windows installation somehow
[09:32] <arrenlex> lnm: No problems. Even Torvalds was a Linux newbie at one point :)
[09:32] <lnm> I must say the wiki and the irc channel are an awesome help though :)
[09:32] <xmOD> maybe run off the live cd and mount the windows drive to see
[09:32] <lnm> haha, true :o)
[09:33] <arrenlex> Wahro: Again, just curious: what's the output of "sudo fdisk -l"?
[09:33] <n2diy> xmOD: grub error 21, "disk does not exsist"
[09:33] <n2diy> xmOD: could this be a master/slave issue?
[09:34] <xmOD> n2diy: yea i know.. thats because GRUB is first on MBR and he disconnected the linux drive
[09:34] <rambo3> n2diy, is groot configured in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:34] <xmOD> n2diy: no its different .. :-) ..
[09:34] <n2diy> xmOD: he didn't need to set the single drive to master?

[09:38] <riotkittie> B_166-ER-X, add it to fstab?   why cant you mount it manually?    mount -t ext3 /dev/???  /your/mountpointhere
[09:38] <BackPacker> B_166-ER-X: What does 'fdisk -l' show? Which partition is it?
[09:38] <shawoho> My ISP is charging $1500 on the bill, so I need the log urgently ;)

[09:40] <Wahro> xmOD - is there any way I can backup the data from my other disk?
[09:40] <B_166-ER-X> BackPacker yeap, the whole disk
[09:41] <n2diy> shawoho: is kppp your dialer, that can be setup to monitor DLs?
[09:41] <xmOD> it is NTFS .. so it is only readable
[09:41] <Wahro> readable is good enough..
[09:41] <BackPacker> First you need to create some mount points, and you do this as root. You create directories into whic
[09:41] <Wahro> I could send it to my other linux box then
[09:42] <B_166-ER-X> BackPacker thats done now
[09:42] <xmOD> wahro: remove your win drive and insert into another winbox and copy data :-)
[09:42] <uniqueLikeYou>  cyber_brain_mfkg : lspci might help
[09:42] <shawoho> n2diy: nop... it is celular modem..
[09:42] <B_166-ER-X> it gives me an error when trying to mount it, saying its a bad filesystem or something
[09:42] <Wahro> I don't have another winbox :P
[09:42] <Wahro> except this laptop..
[09:42] <shawoho> it calls by it self
[09:42] <BackPacker> B_166-ER-X: You've created the directories? Then try this in a console as root: mount -t ext3 /dev/hdd1 /mountpoint (where 'mountpoint' is the directory onto which you want to mount hdd1
[09:43] <BackPacker> B_166-ER-X: if that works, you can add entries to /etc/fstab
[09:43] <n2diy> shawoho: so how many megs are the claiming you DLed?
[09:43] <xmOD> wahro: mount the drive using the live cd

[09:43] <mvfeinstein> Hello, I am trying to adjust my display settings. The way they are now my max res is 1024x768 but I know I can go higher then that. I edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf and added the resolution I wanted but after reboot I am still stuck at 1024x768. Can anyone tell me what else I need to change to get it to work?
[09:43] <hey560> beryl
[09:43] <B_166-ER-X> its jsut temporary, so no need to fstab
[09:43] <hey560> hello?
[09:43] <BackPacker> B_166-ER-X: Oh, ok.
[09:43] <user01_> how do i add screensavers?  i remember an old one called xjack
[09:43] <B_166-ER-X> thankx a lot :)
[09:44] <red_> I really need help setting up a home network with NFS. Everything is installed and both computers are setup and wireless connected to my router. Any Help?
[09:44] <Sub7> mvfeinstein: you need to install your video card drivers
[09:44] <hey560> does anyone know why the HP Laserjet III is removed from edgy, it was supported in Dapper/
[09:44] <m0e> Iis this thing on?
[09:44] <hey560> how can i find out which driver i should use for my hp laserjet III printer
[09:44] <BackPacker> B_166-ER-X: you're welcome. And you can find out more about it by doing 'man mount' and 'man fstab' in a console
[09:44] <uniqueLikeYou> user01_: try xscreensaver or xlock
[09:44] <shawoho> n2diy: that's the problem they say 320:min:seg not in Mb's
[09:44] <LostProjectile> would someone be able to help me with a wireless network card that's being recognized but not connecting?
[09:44] <RickyRay> anyone happen to know which terastation is the best one to get?
[09:45] <Sub7> LostProjectile: Have you entered your network key (i.e WEP key)
[09:45] <mvfeinstein> Sub7 they were installed by default... I have an ATI X850 XT and and that is what it says in xorg.conf and it is using the ATI driver
[09:45] <LostProjectile> there's no security enabled on the router
[09:45] <BackPacker> red_: It's quite simple. You create a /etc/exports file listing the directories you want to make availabe. You do this on the server. Then on the client you issue mount commands
[09:45] <BackPacker> red_: you need to have certain packages installed, though
[09:45] <LostProjectile> i tried enabling WEP and putting in the network key, but that didn't help
[09:46] <red_> BackParker: packages are installed
[09:46] <n2diy> LostProjectile: are they all on the same channel?
[09:46] <mnoir> !wifi | LostProjectile - have you looked here:
[09:46] <ubotu> LostProjectile - have you looked here:: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[09:46] <Sub7> How do i install gens emulator :S, the make, configure commands dont work
[09:46] <LostProjectile> i had them set to different channels
[09:46] <red_> i need help setting up the server and client.
[09:46] <BackPacker> red_: then you create an /etc/exports file on the server with lines like this: /data  192.168.0.0/24(no_root_squash,async,insecure,rw)
[09:47] <riotkittie> Sub7, >> elaborate on "don't work"
[09:47] <n2diy> LostProjectile: they have to be on the same channel.
[09:47] <riotkittie> donw work as in ... "make: command not found" ??
[09:47] <BackPacker> red_: This line makes my /data directory available to all machines on the LAN with address like 192.168.0.1, etc
[09:47] <riotkittie> don't?
[09:47] <mnoir> !nfs | red_
[09:47] <ubotu> red_: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[09:47] <BackPacker> red_: Decide which directories to export and add lines to /etc/exports for each directory, just like that one
[09:48] <Fubarovic> what does ubuntu use for auto mounting cdroms/floppies/ ...?
[09:48] <riotkittie> floppies. heh heh.
[09:48] <Sub7> riotkittie: says In all cases, make sure that you use GNU Make.
[09:48] <n2diy> ! automount
[09:48] <mvfeinstein> Is there anything other then xorg.conf that I need to edit to change my resolution?
[09:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about automount - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:49] <BackPacker> mnoir: that's the long-winded way of doing it. :-)
[09:49] <riotkittie> hm.
[09:49] <h3xis> mvfeinstein, no
[09:49] <Sub7> then type configure, make then make install

[09:49] <riotkittie> and when you type those commands, is it telling you they dont exist?
[09:49] <Sub7> yes
[09:49] <mvfeinstein> If I change xorg.conf and the changes don't take effect how can I figure out why?
[09:49] <h3xis> xmOD, worldofwarcraft.com has a client available for download
[09:49] <Fubarovic> it can't be dojwnloaded xmOD

[09:50] <riotkittie> Sub7,  >>  type the following into a term   sudo apt-get install build-essential
[09:50] <pr0gress0r> if you install an app from source ( not apt-get ) is there a way to clean the app up easily if you no longer have the source to make uninstall?
[09:50] <Klowner> quick question, could anyone tell me how to acquire the UUID of a parititon?
[09:50] <h3xis> xmOD, go to worldofwarcraft.com and check out their free trial they have going on. they give you 10 days to play and a fully functional client for download at no cost
[09:50] <riotkittie> it will install the files that are, well, essential for building :P  including make
[09:50] <blanky> I'm open to questions!
[09:50] <xmOD> h2xis: ok will check it out
[09:51] <Sub7> build-essential is already the newest version.
[09:51] <riotkittie> yikes
[09:51] <mooey> pr0gress0r, you can use checkinstall to make a deb of your make; make install process and then uninstall the deb
[09:51] <pr0gress0r> mooey: thanks!

[09:54] <xmOD> !rar | Gartral
[09:54] <n2diy> adub: did you try to add your printer from sys/admin/printers?
[09:54] <ubotu> Gartral: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free

[09:55] <vinnybinny> remote access via ssh
[09:55] <adub> MFC-420CN is my printer type its not listed i tried adding various printers from list just incase same driver was used not happening
[09:55] <BackPacker> vinnybinny: then you can use fdisk
[09:55] <Zaggynl> http://xs411.xs.to/xs411/07016/tux_ns_03_small.png
[09:55] <blanky> try sudo sh configure
[09:56] <RyanGWU82> Quick question: is there a command that lets me open any document from a Terminal window, similar to the Windows "start" command or the Mac "open" command?
[09:56] <vinnybinny> BackPacker: i did
[09:56] <vinnybinny> i created a linux partition
[09:56] <mooey> RyanGWU82, gnome-open
[09:56] <Sub7> : not found: 11:

[09:56] <vinnybinny> but i can't mount it
[09:56] <uniqueLikeYou> vinnybinny: mkfs.ext3
[09:56] <BackPacker> vinnybinny: did you do mkfs?
[09:56] <blanky> Sub7: the package is probably faulty
[09:56] <vinnybinny> not yet
[09:56] <blanky> Sub7: try re-downloading it or something
[09:56] <RyanGWU82> mooey -- thanks, I knew I had seen that functionality *somewhere*! :)
[09:56] <adub> i get that error when installing as well
[09:57] <blanky> adub: what error?
[09:57] <n2diy> RyanGWU82: shure, gedit filename
[09:57] <BackPacker> vinnybinny: that formats it as ext3 - and as uniqueLikeYou says, the command is mkfs.ext3
[09:57] <blanky> if you get errors then why did you say it installed
[09:57] <riotkittie> Ryan try gnome-open <document>
[09:57] <adub> blanky /etc/init.d/cups: Command not found.
[09:58] <vinnybinny> PackPacker: thank you
[09:58] <riotkittie> oh i am slow
[09:58] <blanky> adub: sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart
[09:58] <mooey> :~)
[09:58] <RyanGWU82> n2diy: gnome-open was what I was looking for; it uses the file type to open the in the correct associated program, like OpenOffice or Firefox.  Thanks though!
[09:58] <Gartral> ty, next problem, how do i reset gnome? my desktop is all screwed up
[09:58] <vinnybinny> and to add it to be automatically mounted would be editing mtab not fstab?
[09:58] <riotkittie> bbl
[09:58] <BackPacker> vinnybinny: no, you add it to fstab. mtab is automatically generated by the system
[09:58] <adub> -bash: /etc/init.d/cups: No such file or directory
[09:58] <n2diy> RyanGWU82: ah, hadn't heard of that. :)

[09:59] <superdump> i seem to recall being able to force the vesa driver somehow but i don't remember how to do it
[09:59] <vinnybinny> BackPacker: i want to add it as the backup drive for a cron job
[09:59] <BackPacker> vinnybinny: Try mounting it first with 'mount -t ext3 /dev/hdc1 /mountpoint', changing hdc1 and mountpoint accordingly
[10:00] <archie> hi
[10:00] <Gartral> now im getting this problem: Could not perform the operation
[10:00] <Gartral> This archive is password protected.
[10:00] <Gartral> Please specify a password with the command: Edit->Password
[10:00] <superdump> is it possible to force the use of vesa in the boot options or do i have to switch to another shell before it boots too far and change the driver in xorg.conf?
[10:00] <Gartral> and password isnt there
[10:00] <adub> blanky any clue?
[10:00] <BackPacker> vinnybinny: ok. All you need to do is to add the line to /etc/fstab. You can then refer to the mountpoint in your cron job rather than referring to the device itself
[10:00] <n2diy> ! enter | Gartral
[10:00] <ubotu> Gartral: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[10:00] <jerryb_> help -- problem with update manager,  I get the message: ImportError: No module named UpdateManager.UpdateManager
[10:01] <jerryb_> running edgy
[10:01] <archie> if i format free partition to ext3 wud it be full accesible for me ?
[10:01] <Gartral> i didnt try too, the system broke it up
[10:01] <archie> now i have ntfs it locked
[10:01] <SmashCat> Hello, anyone know why spamassassin and clamav have been removed from Edgy?
[10:01] <SmashCat> (and sendmail for that matter!)
[10:02] <Sub7> I now have dgen (genesis emulator) but when loading a rom i get sdl: Couldn't open audio: No available audio device!
[10:02] <Sub7> Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[10:02] <Sub7> reinstalled 5 times
[10:02] <uniqueLikeYou> archie: ext3 has rw support.
[10:03] <archie> really but it wud be another partition not main system
[10:03] <archie> hope u understand me
[10:03] <chains> when is feisty fawn due out?
[10:04] <BackPacker> archie: once it's formatted as ext3 you can mount it on the 'main system'. Open a console and enter 'man mount' and 'man fstab' for more details
[10:04] <BackPacker> archie: basically, you create a directory to use as a mountpoint, then add an entry in /etc/fstab so that it's mounted automatically
[10:05] <archie> ok thanx it is very important i cud freely manipulate files on it not like in ntfs
[10:05] <jerryb_> help -- problem with update manager on edgy,  I get the message: ImportError: No module named UpdateManager.UpdateManager
[10:05] <uniqueLikeYou> archie: I think so. you have to mount it somewhere. Looks like someone else is helping. good lick
[10:05] <Jowi> Sub7, maybe dgen has got an option to set the correct audio device or to turn off the sound. try "dgen --help" in a terminal
[10:06] <archie> btw am i must to be root for file manipulation ?
[10:07] <Jowi> archie, you decide that when you mount the partition/disk
[10:07] <imbecile> ok guys i installed a few things in the advanced section of synaptic and i dont see them, where would they have gone?
[10:08] <Jowi> archie, (or your file permissions)
[10:08] <BackPacker> archie: not if you edit /etc/fstab and add a line to mount the partition automatically. Then it will be available for all regular users
[10:08] <archie> tnx tnx tnx! nice channel very useful for noobs like me :)
[10:09] <salpro> exit
[10:09] <n2diy> imbecile: you used synaptic to install them?
[10:10] <superdump> i just booted using the safe graphics mode and i noted the "xforcevesa" parameter in the boot options but it also garbles stuff in a slightly different way when that is enabled. i managed to switch to another shell (ctrl+alt+f1) and edit xorg.conf in the safe graphics mode boot and the driver was set to nv, surely safe graphics mode should use vesa...?
[10:10] <imbecile> n2diy,  yes in the advanced section
[10:10] <imbecile> n2diy,  i only see one of about 20-30 things
[10:11] <n2diy> imbecile: I'm not familiar with the advance section, but did you do something to over ride the defaults?
[10:11] <imbecile> n2diy,  i dont believe so i just clicked on the advanced tab
[10:12] <nikasi> anyone know why i get Jan  6 22:11:37 nikasi xinetd[3792] : warning: can't get client address: Transport endpoint is not connected ? my vnc4server doesnt work, and thats what my syslog says about xinetd
[10:13] <jerryb_> help -- problem with update manager on edgy,  I get the message: ImportError: No module named UpdateManager.UpdateManager
[10:13] <n2diy> imbecile: I just checked, I don't even have an advance setting here on 6.06.
[10:14] <imbecile> n2diy,  i do and im running dapper as well.. its a tab on the bottom
[10:14] <lovloss> what would you guys suggest for web page development
[10:14] <malt> whats a example command of creating a account on ubuntu linux with limited access? where its just FTP with proftpd, where regular users can't delete the files?
[10:15] <mikedoty> I can reinstall ubuntu real easy, right?  And my existing files will be safe, I'd just be overwriting the OS itself?
[10:15] <imbecile> n2diy,  right next to the "help" tab
[10:15] <francalier> mikedoty: not unless you have a separate /home partition
[10:15] <lovloss> mikedoty is it on its own partition?
[10:15] <imbecile> n2diy,  thats strange
[10:15] <mikedoty> I think it is its own partition but I'm not positive
[10:15] <mikedoty> I know I made 3 partitions
[10:16] <mikedoty> One for swap, one for something, and one for something.  Perhaps one for the root and one for /home
[10:16] <lovloss> if it is, its safe, but you need to know
[10:16] <mikedoty> How can I confirm?
[10:16] <francalier> type mount in a terminal
[10:16] <lovloss> sounds like one is /home.
[10:16] <francalier> mount | grep /home
[10:16] <n2diy> imbecile: still don't see it, what version of synaptic are you running, I'm using 0.57.8.
[10:16] <mikedoty> What will I wanna see with mount | grep /home to confirm it's its own partition?
[10:17] <francalier> something
[10:17] <mikedoty> (I'm unable to use ubuntu right now, can't get past login screen)
[10:17] <mikedoty> Okay :P
[10:17] <kwtm> With Kubuntu, where is the "trash" directory located in the file structure?  It's not ~/Trash or ~/.Trash, and when I open the actual Trash file manager, it's just listed under "trash://".
[10:17] <francalier> mikedoty: if there's no mount there you'll get no output
[10:17] <francalier> if it says something like /dev/sda3 on /home bla bla bla then you're good to go
[10:17] <imbecile> n2diy,  how do i figure that out?
[10:18] <francalier> just remember to tell the installer that you want to use that existing partition for your /home
[10:18] <kwtm> mikedoty: you want to see "/home" listed on a line by itself.
[10:18] <n2diy> imbecile: from the drop down menu help/about.
[10:18] <ozo> hi
[10:19] <imbecile> n2diy,  it says im running 0.57.8. as well
[10:19] <n2diy> imbecile: WTF?
[10:19] <biberao> hi
[10:19] <biberao> help with partitions please
[10:19] <kaman> who has here jabbin?
[10:20] <imbecile> n2diy,  want me to send ya a screenshot?
[10:20] <biberao> i have 3 partitions
[10:20] <n2diy> imbecile: nah, if I don't have it, I don't have it.
[10:20] <imbecile> n2diy,  thats wierd
[10:20] <kwtm> biberao: Sounds like partition day today --you're not the first with questions about partitions...
[10:21] <n2diy> imbecile: Very.
[10:21] <mikedoty> Ok, thanks for the advice y'all.  Gonna try to reinstall now :)
[10:21] <kaman> who has here jabbin?

[10:21] <Sphynx> Howdy folks.  I'm looking for some general suggestions here as I'm perhaps just missing something obvious here.  My problem is that during shutdown, 50% of the time I'm having a hard lockup.  When I shutdown, it appears that X locks up.  I'm finding nothing in the logs.
[10:21] <biberao> is this correct and i made them all acive
[10:21] <biberao> *active
[10:22] <cratel> trouble configuring synergy. Everything says it is connected but the remote machine screen is staying inactive and the mouse/keyboard are behaving as if only one computer hooked up still.
[10:22] <Jowi> Sphynx, try to disable acpi in grub
[10:22] <imbecile> n2diy,  perhaps you are already in the advanced section.. i noticed the <help> <about> was only available in advanced
[10:22] <Sphynx> To detail the setup, I'm running Edgy on an x86_64 install.  I have Beryl running as well.
[10:22] <Otacon22> Hi all, I have a tv video card, I see beautiful the tv, but I don't listen the audio, I think that the driver work but a setting in the audio preferencies of ubuntu is wrong, someone know what can I do?
[10:23] <Sphynx> Jowi - ACPI a known issue?
[10:23] <n2diy> imbecile: that could be?
[10:23] <francalier> Otacon22: can you listen to other things?
[10:23] <Jowi> Sphynx, no. but most lockups I've encountered during shutdown had to do with it. It's a hunch.
[10:23] <Otacon22> ? other things?
[10:23] <Otacon22> wich others?
[10:23] <francalier> I mean, do you have any sound at all
[10:24] <Otacon22> no, I don't listen anything of the tv, but all of sound of ubuntu
[10:24] <Sphynx> Jowi - Thanks, I'll try that out.  It's a bit frustrating that the logs haven't been more verbose up to this point.
[10:24] <archie> is there any hdd manager in ubuntu with normal gui ?
[10:24] <francalier> Otacon22: what is your input set to?
[10:24] <Sphynx> archie - like KDiskFree?
[10:25] <francalier> Capture
[10:25] <Otacon22> francalier, I don't know, how can i set it?
[10:25] <francalier> go to a terminal and run alsamixer
[10:25] <archie> kdisk .. what if i use gnome ?
[10:25] <francalier> There might be something like "Input Source"
[10:25] <CraZy675> I'm looking to buy a new printer.  Anyone know of some with linux support?
[10:25] <Jowi> Sphynx, yeah. and turning off acpi is safe to try
[10:26] <imbecile> n2diy,  does your synaptic look like this? http://fapomatic.com/show.php?loc=0653&f=screenshot.png
[10:26] <Sphynx> archie - I am using gnome - I often run KDE apps.  I'm not sure what Gnome app would work for it.
[10:26] <BackPacker> CraZy675: HP printers have pretty good Linux support, but the cartridges can be a little more expensive
[10:26] <Otacon22> francalier, I don't find anything of the tv card
[10:26] <archie> yes i know, i use kde apps too.nevermind ill install kdisk tnx again
[10:27] <sanityx> Easy way to figure out what printer to buy is just look at a list of all the printers with built in cups drivers
[10:27] <CraZy675> BackPacker: Thanks
[10:27] <Otacon22> francalier, I am not so expert about audio in linux, drive me in
[10:28] <BackPacker> CraZy675: I've heard that Canon printers should be avoided
[10:28] <theflyingfool> i am thinking about converting my last computer to ubuntu but i dont know if there are programs similar to what i use on windows, does anyone know if there is a program like dBpowerAMP music converter
[10:28] <n2diy> imbecile: no, not at all, must be some setting in prefrences or something?
[10:28] <francalier> Otacon22: I'm not sure
[10:28] <francalier> try alsamixer -c 1
[10:28] <Sphynx> Canon printers SHOULD be avoided under linux, unless you wish to run the TurboPrint drivers, which cost you around $40
[10:28] <imbecile> n2diy,  is it more black and white?
[10:29] <Sphynx> theflyingfool, I'm not sure what all that app does, but there are a plethora of audio apps for Linux.
[10:29] <n2diy> imbecile: yep, and no icons, just text.
[10:29] <theflyingfool> it allows me to convert mp3s to basicaly any format i want
[10:29] <imbecile> n2diy, yeah thats the advanced section
[10:30] <Sphynx> theflyingfool, then yes..  there are conversion apps.  There's also a free conversion tool that is web based for that..  gimme a sec and I'll dig it up.
[10:30] <user01> how can i figure out what kind of wireless card is on my laptop?  i went the manufacturer site and all it says is intel 802.11b Wireless(MPCI)
[10:30] <Jowi> CraZy675, http://www.freestandards.org/en/OpenPrinting/Database/SuggestedPrinters
[10:30] <n2diy> imbecile: ok, anyway, synaptic is good at putting things where the belong, so why you can't find your stuff is a mystery. Do they run from the command line?
[10:31] <BackPacker> user01: Try running 'lspci' in a console
[10:31] <CraZy675> Jowi: Perfect thanks
[10:31] <mon^rch> whats different about feisty??
[10:31] <imbecile> n2diy,  no its games and kismet and airsnort
[10:31] <Sphynx> theflyingfool, http://media-convert.com/convert/index.php allows conversion from something to about anything.
[10:32] <cbrian> i'm having trouble running my live CD
[10:32] <n2diy> imbecile: maybe sudo updatedb would help?
[10:32] <imbecile> n2diy,  ill give it a try
[10:32] <user01> BackPacker: if it lists it there i dont meed to install ndiswrapper?
[10:32] <cbrian> it gets past the loading part, and then its just a blank screen - either black or white
[10:32] <Sphynx> theflyingfool, but, there are a plethora of apps for this purpose.
[10:32] <trev> does anyone here play vegastrike?
[10:33] <BackPacker> user01: No idea if you need ndiswrapper or not. But if you look at the output of lspci, you should see a manufacturer's name and model no. And that would be a start
[10:33] <cbrian> can someone help me?
[10:33] <cyber_brain_mfkg> i want to know how to remove wrong module from startup?(there's no that module in /etc/modules)!first i need to remove wrong and to load correct and my tv card is working but i have to do that every time i start my ubuntu!help?
[10:34] <user01> BackPacker:  Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI
[10:34] <DigitalNinja> is there a log of "apt" on the system? I would like to know what got updated on the last "apt-get upgrade".
[10:34] <imbecile> n2diy,  i think there may be something bad going on my cpu usage stayed at 100% all night and this morning looking at gkrellm i noticed it said 2 users
[10:34] <frederific> user01: does it show up as a wireless network connection in System Menu/Administration/Networking?
[10:35] <BackPacker> user01: I don't know that card, but you could try Googling for it on www.google.com/linux
[10:35] <xtknight> DigitalNinja: cat /var/log/dpkg.log   and look for all the packages that happened within about 10 minutes of each other, that will probably point you in the right direction
[10:35] <n2diy> imbecile: hmmm, I don't know? I think 2 users is normal, I was just in top, and I had two users too.
[10:35] <timmae> cbrian, whats your videocard?
[10:35] <imbecile> n2diy,  ok i was scared
[10:36] <DigitalNinja> xtknight: Thanks. I was looking for something like apt.
[10:37] <BackPacker> user01: You could try the Networking dialog on the System menu to see if your card is listed there
[10:37] <n2diy> imbecile: well, I'm gonna find out right now.
[10:37] <cbrian> timmae: i know it's pretty old. i'm trying to find out what kind it is right now.
[10:38] <n2diy> Is it normal to show 2 users on a system, that only has 1 user logged in? Who is the other user?
[10:38] <DigitalNinja> Should a reboot be done after an "apt-get upgrade"?
[10:38] <cyber_brain_mfkg> !blacklist
[10:38] <ubotu> To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add "blacklist modulename" to the end of that list
[10:38] <DigitalNinja> I'm doing this on a server.
[10:38] <frederific> n2diy: each gnome-terminal you have open shows as another user, maybe that's it
[10:38] <theflyingfool> has anyone gotten the cs2 suit running under edgy
[10:38] <exs> anyone know og a DNS I can use?.. I started using opendns, but that bugged me. Is there any public-free dns I can use?.. (which won't log the sites I visit) ?
[10:39] <cyber_brain_mfkg> if i blacklist a module can i load it on startup useing /etc/modules ????
[10:39] <Sphynx> DigitalNinja, No.  Unless the upgrade is to the system chain or kernel, there's never a need for reboot.
[10:39] <n2diy> frederific: yep, thats it, opened another terminal, and now I have 3 users, thk.
[10:39] <timmae> cbrian, i have a SLI system so i had to run my install in text mode :| no LIVE for me :(
[10:40] <frederific> n2diy: no probs
[10:40] <DigitalNinja> Sphynx: What about libraries etc... It doesn't look like I got any on the last upgrade
[10:40] <imbecile> n2diy,  looks like he's right
[10:40] <BackPacker> exs: http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=public+DNS&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
[10:40] <Sphynx> DigitalNinja, No.  ldd generally takes care of the libraries.
[10:40] <n2diy> imbecile: yep, I have X open, and a terminal, so that makes two.
[10:40] <cbrian> timmae, what's an SLI system?
[10:41] <timmae> cbrian, 2 nvidia cards
[10:41] <Sphynx> cbrian - Serial Link Interface.  It's the ability to link 2 nvidia cards.
[10:41] <Sphynx> via 16x PCIe slots.
[10:41] <cbrian> ok, my video card is an "Intel(R) 82810E Graphics Controller"
[10:42] <DigitalNinja> Sphynx: I see. When I did my upgrade it said something about not upgrading the kernel. Should I be forcing it to update the kernel?
[10:42] <cyber_brain_mfkg> there's no my_blacklist in /etc/modprobe.d/ should i create it?
[10:43] <Sphynx> DigitalNinja, kernel upgrades are your choice.  If it's a production server, I'd take a look at the changelog and see what's with the new kernel.  What bugs have been fixed, and particularly, what security patches have been put in place.  Unless you just have to upgrade the kernel due to security or functionality, then there's no reason.
[10:44] <Sphynx> DigitalNinja, There will be a lot of folks upgrading soon due to the inclusion of KVM into the kernel.
[10:44] <thecrow> jelo
[10:45] <DigitalNinja> Sphynx: What's KVM? I guess I need join the kernel mailing list or read up on the kernel.
[10:45] <frederific> DigitalNinja: It looks like some sort of virtualization
[10:45] <thecrow> goodnights
[10:46] <Sphynx> DigitalNinja, virtualization at the kernel level.  Basically allows for guest OS installations to run as native processes under a linux install.
[10:46] <DigitalNinja> Sphynx: Sounds cool.
[10:46] <DigitalNinja> I guess I'll have to do my homework when this comes out.
[10:47] <Sphynx> DigitalNinja, it's already out
[10:47] <Sub7> how do i get i386 to work on amd64?
[10:47] <speyer> why burning dvd`s in ubuntu takes 3 times longer then in windows ?
[10:47] <Sphynx> DigitalNinja, It's in the latest kernel release.  I'm not sure if it's in the Ubuntu maintained kernels.
[10:47] <DigitalNinja> Sphynx: I'm just way out of tuch.
[10:47] <imbecile> n2diy, nothing is installing for me in the advanced section, maybe im missing out on a step that you have to do in advanced  I select the file for installation click "apply" and wait for it to install and wait for it to finish.. anything else im not doing?
[10:48] <sayidj> i have a folder full of 7zip compressed files, how do i batch extract them? i can't find out anywhere.
[10:48] <DigitalNinja> I guess I've got some reading to do.
[10:48] <n2diy> imbecile: click on the package you want to install, mark it for installation, and then click on the apply button.
[10:48] <Sphynx> speyer, there's a few possibilities.  You haven't tuned dma perhaps via hdparm, or perhaps you're needing your burning perms to run as root.
[10:49] <thecrow> madre de dios bendito....la de pea que hay aqui metia
[10:50] <speyer> Sphynx i think that i i did tuned dma with a guy few hours later and still slow

[10:51] <imbecile> n2diy,  dang something must be wrong.. i redid my sources.list last night maybe thats it.. have time to look at my pastebin of sources.list?
[10:52] <Sphynx> speyer, Ubuntu releases mean nothing to me.  I'm new to the distro.  Linux is linux.  If I were you, I'd try running the cdrao / etc as root.  I guess one way you could try it would be to open K3B or whatever burner you use via the terminal as a sudo session.
[10:52] <n2diy> sure, but first, are you marking the files for intallation, before hitting the apply button?
[10:52] <|Sora|> what is the ubuntu equivelent command for "su -p" ?
[10:52] <imbecile> n2diy,  yeah i am
[10:52] <speyer> it is possible to edit fstab so that when i boot my machine i can choose which system i want to run ubuntu or windows even if they are on diff hdd ?
[10:52] <nikasi> ello i just installed freenx and im getting Authentication failed while trying to login, anyone know why? :p
[10:52] <n2diy> imbecile: ok, lets take a look at your sources.
[10:52] <arrenlex> speyer: That's not your fstab, that's your grub conf (/boot/grub/menu.lst). And yes.
[10:52] <erUSUL> speyer: no fstab you have to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[10:53] <mnoir> speyer: no - you do that in grub
[10:53] <speyer> Sphynx ok thanks
[10:53] <Sphynx> speyer - sec
[10:53] <imbecile> n2diy,  I see the files in etc!!!! wth?
[10:53] <speyer> arrenlex erUSUL mnoir thank you
[10:53] <arrenlex> speyer: ...pardon? o_O

[10:54] <n2diy> imbecile: ok, so you did get them, I was thinking synaptic should give you an error if it couldn't find the sources. WTF?
[10:54] <Ben^> Hey
[10:54] <speyer> arrenlex erUSUL mnoir now works fine the grub.conf its ok but im going to move the linux system on a different hdd will the windows section from grub.conf still be useful as it is now ?
[10:54] <nikasi> hm where can i see my SSH DSA key?
[10:54] <Ben^> I am trying to install Ubuntu Edgy on my laptop but am getting a problem where X always starts with a skewed screen.
[10:54] <n2diy> imbecile: what happens when you try to run kismet from a terminal?
[10:54] <Ben^> I have an ATI Mobility X1600, which I have heard has this problem, and I need to install drivers to fix it
[10:55] <Sphynx> speyer - you'll need to change your grub as well as your fstab
[10:55] <mnoir> speyer: the answer depends on how you move stuff
[10:55] <Ben^> but question is, how can I install ununtu without seeing the screen ?
[10:55] <imbecile> n2diy,  but why arent they on my menu? i can see asterisk and amphetamine  in my /etc/
[10:55] <Ben^> is there a console mode installer ?
[10:55] <arrenlex> speyer: You can't just move it, because Grub won't be able to find itself and you won't be able to boot anything. You would have to boot from the liveCD and reinstall grub on the new HD.
[10:55] <imbecile> n2diy,  i cant find kismet..its only some of the things i installed
[10:55] <speyer> mnoir Sphynx i only gonna install ubunto on a diff hdd the windows partition stays as it is now
[10:55] <arrenlex> !alternate | Ben^
[10:55] <ubotu> Ben^: 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.
[10:56] <n2diy> imbecile: not all apps get a place in the menu system.
[10:56] <mnoir> speyer: during the install it should find yer win install then
[10:56] <n2diy> imbecile: can you get any of them to run from the terminal?
[10:56] <speyer> arrenlex Sphynx mnoir i will not gonna use the whole grub.conf .. only the windows settings from grub.conf which are staying on the same location will it work ?
[10:57] <Lc_945x3> i screwed up my grub installation by installing windows boot over it
[10:57] <Lc_945x3> can i use the live cd to easily reinstall grub?
[10:57] <speyer> mnoir well i will disconect all other hdds from machine ...to make sure im not deleting something :)
[10:57] <mnoir> during your new install all instsalled osses SHOULD be found
[10:57] <arrenlex> speyer: When you boot your computer, Grub reads its config from where it was installed (ubuntu drive). If you move this drive, Grub will not be able to find its config on boot, and will fail. You will have to repair it.
[10:57] <mnoir> speyer: then it will not find them
[10:57] <Sphynx> speyer - right.  What you'd do is make the partitions on the other hard drive.  Boot up with the liveCD.  Move the files from one hdd to the other.  Edit the fstab.  CHRoot into the files that you moved to the other hard drive, then reinstall grub.  Point your BIOS to that disk as your boot device.
[10:57] <n2diy> Lc_945x3: yes.
[10:57] <Ben^> ubuto thanks, I am currently downloading the alternate ISO, but it will take a while. Would like to get the regular livecd working though. Have tried safe graphics mode, as well as a could of different resolutions, and also the vga=771 option too
[10:57] <Ben^> none work
[10:57] <n2diy> ! grub recovery
[10:57] <ubotu> grub: GRand Unified Bootloader. In component main, is optional. Version 0.97-11ubuntu14 (edgy), package size 359 kB, installed size 764 kB
[10:57] <Lc_945x3> thanks n2diy
[10:58] <arrenlex> !grub | n2diy
[10:58] <ubotu> n2diy: 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
[10:58] <speyer> Sphynx doenst sound that easy :)
[10:58] <Sphynx> speyer - it really is :)
[10:58] <arrenlex> speyer: Really all you'd have to do is follow the instructions in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[10:58] <n2diy> arrenlex: I need the info on how to recover/replace grub after winders killed it.
[10:58] <arrenlex> n2diy: Second link.
[10:59] <arrenlex> n2diy: First link. xD
[10:59] <Sphynx> speyer - the other option is to install on the other hard drive, install grub, make your bios point to that hard drive as 1st boot drive.
[10:59] <arrenlex> n2diy: How about: you count, I read. Together we'll manage.
[10:59] <Boze> Hello, I have gnome-pilot installed, but cant find the launcher or can't cli it. Can anyone help?
[10:59] <n2diy> arrenlex: ah, I see, thanks.
[10:59] <n2diy> arrenlex: :)
[10:59] <arrenlex> Boze: dpkg -L gnome-pilot will list all the files in it. Look for something in /usr/bin
[11:00] <imbecile> n2diy,  "imbecile@HappyLappy:/etc/3ddesktop$ ls    3ddesktop.conf" is all i see in the 3d desktop section
[11:00] <Boze> thanks Arrenlex
[11:01] <cyber_brain_mfkg> how to setup that tvtime use linein as sound source?
[11:01] <n2diy> imbecile: you lost me.
[11:01] <speyer> arrenlex erUSUL mnoir i was just going to put this " http://pastebin.com/853036 " into the new fresh installed grub.conf on the brand new ubuntu os which will be on a diff hdd then windows xp .will i still be able to boot windows ? ( windows wont move )
[11:01] <arrenlex> n2diy: s/he ran "ls". This command only showed 3ddesktop.conf.
[11:02] <speyer> Sphynx also for you
[11:02] <speyer> Sphynx i was just going to put this " http://pastebin.com/853036 " into the new fresh installed grub.conf on the brand new ubuntu os which will be on a diff hdd then windows xp .will i still be able to boot windows ? ( windows wont move )
[11:02] <arrenlex> speyer: Oh, if you're installing ubuntu again, you'll be fine. I thought you were just moving the drive. The install will handle everything.
[11:02] <n2diy> arrenlex: ok, I never played with 3d Desktop, so I don't know what he should be seeing?
[11:02] <speyer> arrenlex yeah a fresh ubuntu install
[11:03] <speyer> arrenlex but on a diff hdd as it is now
[11:03] <n2diy> why not?
[11:03] <speyer> mnoir sorry
[11:03] <Sphynx> speyer - Grub is installed on your MBR.  It's going to be looking for your menu.lst or grub.conf..  which is installed in your linux partition.  If you move it, Grub will freak, which is why you must reinstall Grub after you move your linux partition.
[11:03] <arrenlex> mnoir: If you ask the question to four more people, the girl you like will kiss you! :)
[11:03] <cypruser> What are the differences between GNOME and KDE?
[11:03] <cyzie> during synaptic reload, i got this error: "http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org/dists/edgy/main-edgy/binary-i386/Packages.gz: 404 Not Found [IP: 82.140.42.54 80" and this W: GPG error: http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org edgy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 3FF0DB166A7476EA" what does it means and how can i solve it ?
[11:04] <imbecile> n2diy,  I have stuff that should be in there like "3ddesktop" for example
[11:04] <Sphynx> speyer - if you're reinstalling, just remember to change the boot device order.
[11:04] <mnoir> n2diy: in a world where there at least 2 correct answers to every question, it only confuses beginners
[11:04] <francalier> cyzie: GNOME is for feet and KDE is for dragons.
[11:04] <arrenlex> speyer: If you're installing ubuntu, it will detect and install everything just fine.
[11:04] <mnoir> arrenlex: you offerin? :)
[11:04] <speyer> Sphynx and which will be first ? ubuntu right ?
[11:04] <Sphynx> speyer - actually, just remember to install GRUB on the primary boot hdd
[11:04] <n2diy> mnoir: 10-4 on that!
[11:04] <imbecile> n2diy, in the 3ddesk folder it only had a .conf file
[11:04] <cyzie> hehehe francalier  ?
[11:04] <speyer> Sphynx ok
[11:04] <|Sora|> is there a glass theme in ubuntu?
[11:05] <h3xis> |Sora|, no but check gnome-look.org for one
[11:05] <n2diy> imbecile: what happens if you run locate on it?
[11:05] <speyer> Sphynx but the think is that during install all other hdd where windows is will be disconnected ....
[11:05] <speyer> Sphynx will that still be ok ?
[11:05] <|Sora|> ok h3xis
[11:05] <Sphynx> speyer - leave them connected.
[11:05] <arrenlex> speyer: No, that will not be okay. It won't detect it and you will have to add it to grub manually. I highly recommend you leave it in.
[11:06] <Sphynx> speyer - if you..  yeah, what arrenlex said.
[11:06] <speyer> arrenlex Sphynx ok hope i wont gonna install ubuntu on the wrong hdd over my stuff :))
[11:06] <speyer> arrenlex Sphynx thanks a lot
[11:07] <arrenlex> speyer: Make a backup.
[11:07] <speyer> arrenlex of 500 gb ?
[11:07] <speyer> :)
[11:07] <imbecile> can someone tell me if pastebin is working for them?
[11:07] <Sphynx> speyer - no prob - and you shouldn't.  Make a backup..  but, the installer should identify those partitions as NTFS.
[11:07] <arrenlex> speyer: ...well, you can probably leave the pirated music and porn out of the backup. =P
[11:07] <Sphynx> lol
[11:07] <speyer> arrenlex :))))
[11:08] <speyer> arrenlex a bit less porn yeah :D
[11:08] <imbecile> n2diy,  im trying to pastebin it but it appers pastebin isnt working for me
[11:08] <user01> can i create multiple profiles for wireless card?  at home i want the home profile but when i visit my friend i want to select that profile if necessary
[11:08] <sethly> hewwoh is anybody heah?
[11:08] <Malachi> I have a problem setting my theme in Edgy.
[11:08] <frederific> user01: are you on dapper or edgy?
[11:09] <arrenlex> sethly: Yes. There are currently 963 people here, in fact.
[11:09] <n2diy> imbecile: ok, but it is showing you more than a couple of files right?
[11:09] <Malachi> Theming the controls don't seem to work.
[11:09] <user01> frederific: edgy
[11:10] <Jowi> user01, yes. in "network-admin" you click on "location" at the top and select "create location"
[11:10] <cyber_brain_mfkg> how to setup that tvtime use line in as sound source?i cant her a sound and i have a cable pluged in tvcard and in line in!someone?
[11:10] <imbecile> n2diy,  yes i see files all over my filesystem
[11:10] <frederific> user01: In System/Admin/Networking, you can save a set of settings (SSID etc) as a location (top of the window)
[11:10] <cyber_brain_mfkg> or should i install other tv program?
[11:10] <Sphynx> sethly - I'd simply re-ask the question were I you.  It generally is met with much more enthusiasm.
[11:10] <n2diy> imbecile: ok, so the stuff is there, I wonder if 3D is hiding in a desktop manager? GDM?
[11:10] <Music_Shuffle> And a possible...answer too
[11:10] <Music_Shuffle> :P
[11:11] <kcinna> !samba
[11:11] <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
[11:11] <imbecile> n2diy,  how do i check?
[11:11] <harushimo> how do I get out of the command line to a gui interface
[11:12] <Sphynx> ubotu - there are a lot of good Samba admin tools.
[11:12] <Sphynx> harushimo - startx?
[11:12] <n2diy> imbecile: I'm not sure, I stick with Gnome. I think you could ctrl+alt+backspace, and then look in options at the log in srceen, but that will kill everything you have running now.
[11:12] <user01> frederific: oh cool
[11:12] <user01> frederific: thanks
[11:12] <imbecile> n2diy,  im only using gnome too i believe
[11:12] <frederific> user01: you can alsoe have a look at networkmanager <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager>
[11:13] <Sphynx> ubotu - try webmin.  It's pretty nifty for administering systems.
[11:13] <frederific> user01: Its beta though, so watch out
[11:13] <Siph0n> hey, where can i find the linux-dri-modules package? i need it for Beryl, and i cant seem to find it :( i have dapper if that makes a diff
[11:13] <Sphynx> ubotu - simplifies the menial crap like setting up log rotations.
[11:13] <n2diy> imbecile: ok I no nothing about 3D, so I can't help you with that.
[11:14] <imbecile> n2diy, what about kismet?
[11:14] <user01> frederific: im just not sure if it is ok to have both wirless and wired on at once
[11:14] <Sphynx> Well - never mind then..  I'm a dork and all of you must be getting a chuckle from it.  Talking to a bot :(  what has become of me?
[11:14] <Tucky> h3xis, its tucker here, u their?
[11:14] <h3xis> Tucky, yes
[11:14] <n2diy> imbecile: ok, lets play with that, at least I know what it does. What happens when you try and run it from a terminal?
[11:15] <blaub`> hi@ i just installed xubuntu here :D
[11:15] <frederific> user01: Sorry, don't know. If I was you, I'd set up one "Location" in system/admin/network for wired, and one for wireless
[11:15] <Tucky> h3xis remember i was having problems with my wireless, well ive got my computer temp. connected to network via cable, could you try and help me get the wireless going?
[11:15] <h3xis> yes
[11:15] <frederific> blaub: Good for you! Welcome to the cult :)
[11:15] <h3xis> Tucky, or try to atleast :P
[11:15] <h3xis> Tucky, the ralink right?
[11:16] <imbecile> n2diy,  how do i run it from terminal? this is too strange
[11:16] <Tucky> ye its ralink chip 61
[11:16] <n2diy> imbecile: umm, type kismet? :)
[11:16] <blaub`> thank you frederific it seams to be quit difficult to handle with that... but i hope i get it to work like i want ^
[11:16] <h3xis> Tucky, k does dapper detect it?
[11:17] <h3xis> Tucky, er dapper detects it but you cant connect, right
[11:17] <Tucky> not using dapper
[11:17] <Tucky> im on the most recent very now
[11:17] <Tucky> 6.10 i think, edgy
[11:17] <h3xis> Tucky, did you upgrade last night or today?
[11:17] <Tucky> today
[11:17] <h3xis> okay
[11:17] <Tucky> about 2 hrs ago
[11:17] <h3xis> so it still freezes?
[11:18] <Tucky> no, it shows two wireless connections, wlan0 and wmaster0 but neither of them can see any networks
[11:18] <h3xis> what is wmaster0
[11:18] <imbecile> n2diy,  i get an error saying its not configured yet
[11:18] <Tucky> so i dnt think either of them are my wireless card, i need to put in the ralink driver but cant seem to do it, tried to do it for last 2 hrs
[11:18] <Tucky> wmaster0 is a wireless connection in my network settings
[11:19] <imbecile> n2diy,  i also noticed it said alot of the files were installed to desktop
[11:19] <cyber_brain_mfkg> how to setup that tvtime use line in as sound source?i cant her a sound and i have a cable pluged in tvcard and in line in!someone?
[11:19] <n2diy> imbecile: Good, at least it is being found. I never played with it, so I don't know how to configure it?
[11:19] <h3xis> Tucky, can you run sudo lspci -vv and copy/paste it to www.pastebin.ca and post the link here?
[11:19] <n2diy> imbecile: Ah, minimize everything, and see what is on your desktop.
[11:19] <castoff> cyber_brain_mfkg what tvcard?
[11:20] <adub> what is a wireless program that will allow me to select an access point to connect to from ubuntu
[11:20] <h3xis> adaptr, network-manager-gnome
[11:20] <bulmer> iwlist
[11:20] <bulmer> adub iwlist
[11:21] <adub> is iwlist gui
[11:21] <Bergcube> I have an oldish laptop that just manages to run Gnome. I'd like to remove Ubuntu and replace it with Xubuntu, getting rid of the Gnome and heavy apps. The PROBLEM is that this laptop has no CD, no Floppy, and BIOS is too old to boot from anything USB. Can I use apt to reduce it to a generic CLI-only system and then upgrade that to Xubuntu???
[11:21] <h3xis> adub, no
[11:21] <BackPacker> adub: iwlist will list available APs, and iwconfig will allow you to configure the card to use one
[11:21] <h3xis> adub, network-manager-gnome lets you point and click and choose which SSID to connec tto
[11:22] <adub> h3xis i went to network-manager-gnome and i selected my wireless card and it did not show aps
[11:22] <adub> i guess ill reload into linux and see what happens
[11:22] <graulich> I updated firefox and then updated some addons and now Firefox won't start.
[11:22] <Tucky> h3xis, the link is http://pastebin.ca/308541
[11:22] <graulich> I updated firefox and then updated some addons and now Firefox won't start. What can I do to salvage my firefox?
[11:23] <h3xis> Tucky, alright
[11:23] <h3xis> Tucky, does it freeze like it did the last time?
[11:23] <sedra> hello how to configure the ati driver  on ubuntu 6.10?
[11:23] <imbecile> n2diy,  you think i should just reformat?
[11:23] <h3xis> !ati | sedra
[11:23] <ubotu> sedra: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:23] <Christopholus> hello all
[11:23] <Tucky> no it wont even see the ssid for the network now
[11:23] <n2diy> imbecile: what, your HD?
[11:23] <Tucky> it does nothing at all!
[11:23] <Sphynx> Bergcube, I'm sure there's a way via the alternate install disks.  I'm too new to Ubuntu to know their ways..  if there's no way to do it via Ubuntu, I'd recommend a Gentoo GRP install.
[11:24] <imbecile> n2diy,  yeah
[11:24] <h3xis> Tucky, okay, hold on
[11:24] <cyber_brain_mfkg> castoff, kworld!
[11:24] <n2diy> imbecile: why?
[11:24] <Tucky> ok :)
[11:24] <imbecile> n2diy,  so i can get a more default setup and see where these files are going
[11:25] <Bergcube> Sphynx~  The machine has no optical drive.  I need to do it from the CLI and the current Ubuntu 6.10.  I managed to get Ubuntu into it but that was by way of setting up a PXE boot server just for this.......
[11:25] <graulich> how can I get firefox to work when it won't start after I updated some addons?
[11:25] <Christopholus> WOW... finallly got into this channel...
[11:25] <cyber_brain_mfkg> castoff, i've finaly found modules to load and now i have a picture but no sound and cannot use remote!
[11:25] <n2diy> imbecile: well, if you want to start with a clean slate, that is a good way to do it.
[11:25] <i|D> hello:|
[11:26] <iwkse> hi, there's a way to install gephex on ubuntu?
[11:26] <phaedrus44> graulich:  sudo apt-get remove firefox*
[11:26] <nikasi> ello just installed freenx in xubuntu, everything is fine except i get a black screen when i log on ? shouldnt i be getting Xfce?
[11:26] <Sphynx> Bergcube - ahhh...  I see.  You could maybe use RSync or SystemImager to pull down an image once you're pxe booted.  Build the image elsewhere?
[11:26] <i|D> How can I set socks5? I wanna connect with socks5 at 'ssh'
[11:26] <graulich> phaedrus44: if I apt-get remove and then apt-get install it, will it save all my settings and addons?
[11:27] <imbecile> n2diy,  how do i do backup of amule? thats the only thing im worried about it will set me back a few days if i have to delete that
[11:27] <leviathan> somebody can say me a site for install and config a ejabberd server?
[11:27] <phaedrus44> home/user/.firefox   and save the crap you want
[11:27] <leviathan> somebody can say me a site for install and config a ejabberd server?
[11:27] <Bergcube> Sphynx~  Sure.  If I had the PXE server still.  That was a one-time stunt to get it working at all.  And that is why this is a problem at all.  Had I been able to use a CD or had the PXE server it'd be straightforward.
[11:27] <Sphynx> BergCube - we do something very similar using SystemImager.
[11:27] <Tucky> h3xis ??
[11:27] <i|D> Can I?
[11:27] <Sphynx> BergCube - gotcha...
[11:27] <phaedrus44> graulich:  may be .mozilla
[11:27] <h3xis> Tucky, still looking. so far things look grim because im reading forum posts from people who have the rt2600 chipset and they have no problems.
[11:28] <n2diy> imbecile: not sure, what is amule?
[11:28] <imbecile> n2diy,  p2p app
[11:28] <cyber_brain_mfkg> castoff, u have solution or not?just to know to look somewhere else!!!
[11:28] <Tucky> i found some forum posts saying how to put the driver in but it didnt work, unless if you wanna connect to my linux and try it?
[11:28] <h3xis> Tucky, where's the post
[11:28] <phaedrus44> ehe
[11:29] <Tucky> hold on il find it again
[11:29] <i|D> Where can I set, that I connect at 'ssh' via socks5?? Where can I??
[11:29] <thecrow> please for spanish chat???
[11:29] <i|D> I wanna connect to an root with socks5
[11:29] <i|D> How can I?
[11:29] <Sphynx> Bergcube, just curious..  I'm gonna assume that the big thing about XUbuntu is that is uses Flux or something lighter to run the WM?  If that's the case, why not just uninstall gnome, and apt-get fluxbox?
[11:29] <i|D> I didnt found anything on ubuntu
[11:29] <castoff> cyber_brain_mfkg try this http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Installation_Guide looks like you play with the card number until sound works
[11:30] <i|D> Is there any terminal command?

[11:31] <Bergcube> Sphynx~  Well, that IS indeed the last resort.  But I would like to get the system as "clean" as possible.  Get rid of extras that have been added on the way etc.  And I do not know apt well enough to be sure how to do that.....
[11:31] <n2diy> imbecile: you haven't tried yet. Kismet wants to play, but it need to be configured, everybody has to do that.
[11:32] <sedra> imbecile!!!
[11:32] <graulich> how can I do cp without it omitting a hidden folder?
[11:32] <Sphynx> Bergcube, I see :)  I'm just feeling my way around Apt as well..  I come from ports, emerge, or *shudder* rpm systems.  I'm sorry I can't be of more assistance.

[11:33] <graulich> erUSUL: thanks
[11:33] <Christopholus> Ok.... quick question... what do I use to install things correctly with ubuntu
[11:33] <erUSUL> graulich: no problem
[11:34] <BackPacker> Christopholus: quick answer: apt-get install packagename
[11:34] <imbecile> actually imbecil
[11:34] <Sphynx> Bergcube, it's nasty.. but there are reworks in the makes to resolve the dependency hell issues.  It's only too bad that the top two Enterprise (According to CTOs..) distros are RPM based..  RedHat and SuSE
[11:34] <imbecile> or something of the sort
[11:34] <Christopholus> are you talking about Synaptic
[11:34] <n2diy> Christopholus: click on system/admin/synaptic
[11:34] <frederific> <Christopholus: Easiest is the Add/Remove option in the Applications menu
[11:34] <Slart> !apt
[11:34] <ubotu> APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[11:34] <Tucky> h3xis, the post is here that my friend told me to try, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=132980&highlight=RaLink+RT61+Wireless+Solved
[11:34] <Tucky> let me know what you think?
[11:34] <h3xis> Tucky, k
[11:35] <frederific> <Christopholus: or more advanced is synaptic (System|Admin|Synaptic Package Manager)
[11:35] <Christopholus> I have done that but that but nothing works after I install what I need
[11:35] <Christopholus> what else am I doing wrong
[11:36] <frederific> Christopholus: what do you mean by nothing works
[11:36] <Sphynx> Christopholus, explain "nothing works"
[11:36] <Christopholus> Ok...
[11:36] <leviathan> some webamil server for ubuntu?
[11:36] <leviathan> webmail
[11:36] <leviathan> ...
[11:36] <Christopholus> I have attempted play video ile
[11:36] <Christopholus> from firefox and it kills the page
[11:36] <Sphynx> leviathan, Squirrel Mail works across all linux distros.  Just need to have Postfix / Cyrus configured properly
[11:37] <castoff> Christopholus have you installed video plugins?
[11:37] <h3xis> Tucky, you followed these instructions exactly with no errors and it still doesnt work?
[11:37] <imbecile> n2diy,  now i get "W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/a/achilles/achilles_2-4.2ubuntu2_i386.deb  Could not connect to localhost:4001 (127.0.0.1). - connect (111 Connection refused)"
[11:37] <graulich> phaedrus44: I removed then installed firefox and the problem stays the same.

[11:37] <Tucky> it wouldnt do all it says
[11:37] <Tucky> it kept bringing up errors which wernt ment to happen
[11:38] <Christopholus> well... I am not familiar with Linux... so
[11:38] <Christopholus> so I am still not getting where things are to make work properly
[11:38] <n2diy> imbecile: I wouldn't worry about that, it is an old 2.4.2 repo.
[11:38] <h3xis> Tucky, what kind of errors
[11:38] <Tucky> h3xis any ideas?
[11:38] <Spyder_uk> hi guys, does anyone have a problem when using beryl that programs start minimized and wont maximize, meaning you have to close and try again
[11:39] <Tucky> cant create folders or move files, so i tried doing those myself wen it said things like that
[11:39] <Christopholus> like I am looking at the package manager now and I see multimeida (univeral and multiversial)
[11:39] <Christopholus> which do I sue
[11:39] <Christopholus> use*
[11:39] <h3xis> tucky and you did it all as root?
[11:39] <tuxedup> does ubuntu support 2dand 3d accel in the via xorg driver for the cle266 out of thoe box?  Or do I have to compile the driver manually with the openchrome source?

[11:41] <Tucky> i dont think i have but if you give me the link il get it and install it quickly
[11:41] <h3xis> Tucky, sudo apt-get install ssh. if you have a router set up port forwarding
[11:41] <Ninja> Port forwarding!
[11:41] <Ninja> :D
[11:41] <Tucky> h3xis hold on
[11:41] <s3bby> how to remove "-- MARK --" from messages.   syslogd -m  can't find where its triggered?
[11:42] <n2diy> imbecile: looks ok, as long as your running Dapper?

[11:44] <Tucky> h3xis what did i need to put in the port forwarding?
[11:44] <imbecile> n2diy, i cant install anything now
[11:44] <h3xis> Tucky, what kind of router
[11:44] <kane77> hi
[11:45] <Tucky> sitecom mimo
[11:45] <kane77> i have a question that has nothing to do with ubuntu... can I ask?
[11:45] <n2diy> imbecile: all of them?
[11:45] <hextor> Hello everyone - I am having a problem with the automount of one of my drives, even if it is on the fstab file. Mounting it manually works. Perhaps anyone could help? Thanks!
[11:45] <h3xis> kane77, try
[11:45] <imbecile> n2diy,  anything i try to install gets errors saying connection refused
[11:45] <frederific> Tucky: Just something to note (and no offence meant to h3xis, I'm sure you're an honest guy that knows what you're talking about), be wary of allowing people you don't know to ssh in to your box, especially if you're giving them root access
[11:45] <Daishi> hextor: put the line of it here
[11:46] <Tucky> oh ive click new, selected the type of ssh,and its asking for server, the optional info after, what do i put in??
[11:46] <hextor> /dev/hda6       /datashare     vfat    defaults,uid=XXX,gid=YYY,umask=000 0 0
[11:46] <kane77> I want to buy a wifi router... and I need 1 input for wifi antena and 1 output for wifi (AP).. can normal ones do this??
[11:46] <h3xis> Tucky, is it asking for app name, port (start and end), and IP?
[11:46] <Tucky> ok thanks frederific but their is nothing on this hard-drive except the install of linux
[11:46] <Tucky> yes it is h3xis
[11:47] <hextor> a manual" mount /dev/hda6 /datashare " works but somehow it does not get mounted in the beginning. Any tips?
[11:47] <h3xis> Tucky, k for the app name type ssh, for port (start and end) make it 22, for IP make it your internal IP (do this by running ifconfig and lookig for your IP for your wired connection) and enable it
[11:47] <dark> hi people, am I the only with a problem with his right and left arrows on his laptop keyboard ? They don't work at all... Im using Edgy Eft
[11:47] <frederific> Tucky: OK, just didn't want you to accidentally let some so ne'er-do-well in that could trash your main PC
[11:48] <h3xis> kane77, why?
[11:48] <jikanter> dark: what laptop are you using?
[11:48] <kane77> h3xis, I want to build a wifi network...
[11:48] <dark> hp tc 4400
[11:49] <h3xis> kane77, alright, why do you need a router that has sep antennaes each for sending and receiving?
[11:49] <break_> aren't all routers like that?
[11:49] <h3xis> no
[11:49] <Snide> hey guys
[11:49] <break_> i know that all the linksys WRT's are
[11:49] <h3xis> no they arent
[11:49] <Tucky> h3xis what it asks me for is, service type, and theirs a drop down with ssh in so i selected that, the it asks for server, then it says optional info and it asks for port, folder, user name, name to use for connection, what should i put in each one?
[11:49] <Snide> i have got a plm, i cant see a trash icon on my desktop .. how do i get it back?
[11:50] <h3xis> break_, the wrt54g has 2 for "maximum coverage"
[11:50] <break_> thats funny
[11:50] <kane77> h3xis, yea exactly
[11:50] <h3xis> what kane77 wants is MIMO
[11:50] <m12> how do I change permissions for using a specific program?
[11:50] <imbecile> WRT are horrible for p2p apps
[11:50] <h3xis> not really
[11:50] <break_> theres an option in its firmware to change what each ant. does what
[11:50] <h3xis> if you have good firmware theyre fine
[11:50] <h3xis> break_, yep
[11:50] <break_> dd-wrt
[11:50] <h3xis> dd-wrt is teh secks
[11:50] <frederific> kane77: most routers (and other radio things, like radio mics) use 2 antennae in a diversity arrangement, wherby it uses the strongest signal out of the two of them
[11:50] <i|D> How can I use socks via OpenSSH ?
[11:50] <kane77> h3xis, the situation is this: I have internet through wifi (antena on my roof and wifi card in my comp) I would like to buy a wifi router to cover my house so I put wifi into second computer and wire connect the other...
[11:50] <break_> i have a WRT54GS v5 right now :(
[11:51] <break_> it barely works
[11:51] <break_> haha
[11:51] <vinnybinny> BackPacker: thanks for the help earlier
[11:51] <Snide> Guys, how do I bring back the Trash icon .. or recyle bin back to my desktop, OR how do I access the trash's folder by command or whatever?
[11:51] <h3xis> Tucky, let me look it up
[11:51] <Tucky> h3xis??
[11:51] <Tucky> ok
[11:51] <BackPacker> vinnybinny: you're welcome
[11:51] <h3xis> kane77, just set up multiple APs using WDS

[11:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about trash - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:52] <castoff> i|D do you mean ssh through a socks server?
[11:52] <kane77> h3xis, are you able to change mac adress of the router??
[11:52] <i|D> Yes castoff
[11:52] <castoff> i|D look at dante
[11:52] <i|D> dante
[11:52] <i|D> Whats this?
[11:52] <h3xis> kane77, yes, but why do make it sound complicated if all you want is a signal throughout your house? a simple 80211g will work fine
[11:52] <castoff> i|D socksifies applications
[11:52] <odi3> Anyone have a minute to help me mount a network drive in ubuntu? ( i can get it to mount, but it only lasts for about 30 secs)
[11:53] <kane77> h3xis, I'm not sure my ISP would approve of having router...
[11:53] <LinTux> I have just downloaded Google Earth for Linux, it is a Binary file, how do I install this?
[11:53] <h3xis> kane77, why not?
[11:53] <i|D> ok thx castoff ill try out
[11:53] <metellius> is it so that I can not use ubuntu's hibernation if I don't include a swap partition?
[11:53] <h3xis> kane77, your ISP has no say so
[11:53] <Nvening> Hi, i have read the official ubuntu book which i guess covers the same as the Ubuntu desktop guide in the ubuntu.com documentation. However i would now like to expand my knowledge, particularly in the direction of fixing problems/ troubleshooting. Does anyone know of any good documentation i can read through??
[11:53] <vinnybinny> BackPacker: this is my fstab settings for my new harddisk   /dev/hdb1 /backup ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
[11:53] <i|D> id@uNkn0wn:~/.ssh$ dante
[11:53] <i|D> bash: dante: command not found
[11:53] <castoff> i|D once installed do a man socks.conf
[11:53] <frederific> LinTux: chmod a+x [name of google earth file] 
[11:53] <Alec> Hey Nvening, use Google.
[11:53] <Alec> Kekekkeke
[11:54] <Tonren> Hey guys, I'm at a public library that provides free wireless to its visitors.  I have a laptop with Ubuntu Edgy and Windows XP on it.  The wireless works flawlessly in Windows, but it doesn't work AT ALL in Linux.  It's run through a proxy, but it doesn't even lag in Windows.  Can anyone give me a hint about where I could start?
[11:54] <Tucky> h3xis?
[11:54] <frederific> LinTux: then ./[Name of googleearth file] 
[11:54] <castoff> i|D install it ;-)
[11:54] <kane77> h3xis, ill try asking him..
[11:54] <alvgaro> HELLO
[11:54] <i|D> where can i find castoff?
[11:54] <h3xis> Tucky, still looking
[11:54] <i|D> i did
[11:54] <Tucky> ok
[11:54] <h3xis> kane77, you dont need to ask
[11:54] <i|D> its ready installed:))
[11:54] <BackPacker> vinnybinny: Looks OK to me. You might want to add 'users' after 'defaults' if you want users to be able to mount/unmount it. Otherwise, it looks fine as it is
[11:54] <FaT32> Hi there!
[11:54] <castoff> i|D the command is socksify but you have to configure
[11:54] <frederific> hello
[11:54] <Jowi> Nvening, most of us probably got experience from using the system.
[11:54] <i|D> where can i configure?
[11:54] <i|D> where is the config?
[11:54] <kane77> h3xis, I'll draw you a picture of what I want to achieve... (l'm good at drawing :D I work as graphic)
[11:54] <castoff> i|D once installed do a man socks.conf
[11:55] <i|D> which dir?
[11:55] <h3xis> kane77, this is good :)
[11:55] <i|D> id@uNkn0wn:~/.ssh$ man socks.conf
[11:55] <i|D> Kein Manual-Eintrag fr socks.conf vorhanden
[11:55] <vinnybinny> BackPacker: now how would i go about setting up a automatic backup of a couple directories every friday @ 7pm? via cron
[11:55] <Nvening> Yep jowi, that as well
[11:55] <i|D> No entry for socks.conf
[11:55] <castoff> i|D it socks.conf is in /etc but on some you have to create it
[11:56] <i|D> okay
[11:56] <Jowi> Tonren, have you installed network-manager-gnome ?
[11:56] <i|D> what must i input?
[11:56] <BackPacker> vinnybinny: Depends on how you want to do the backup. I'd write a script to do the backup using rsync (or cpio, or just cp) and make a cron entry for it
[11:56] <i|D> or where can i get an exist config?
[11:56] <i|D> for example
[11:56] <FaT32> I have a problem. I used command prompt to change my xorg.conf due to problems... After that I finally got Gnome... So, how to continue my installation from that Live CD?
[11:56] <Tonren> Jowi: I've been using nm-applet and wifi-radar.
[11:56] <vinnybinny> BackPacker: rsync would be great
[11:56] <Tucky> 8-)
[11:56] <Tonren> Jowi: I tried using network-manager-gnome about 6 months ago, and it was godawful - slow, crashy, buggy.  I removed it as soon as I figured out how.  Do you think it might work now?
[11:57] <castoff> i|D look in /usr/sshare/doc/
[11:57] <Jowi> Tonren, so it detects the networks alright but can not connect to them or what exactly is the problem?
[11:57] <Jowi> Tonren, nm-applet works flawless for me
[11:57] <castoff> i|D sorry my conf file is at work so can't give specifics
[11:57] <h3xis> Tucky, what is the model
[11:57] <Tonren> Jowi: It connects, it gets an IP.  When I try to navigate to a website, it brings up the library's "Click 'I Accept' For Wireless Access" page.
[11:57] <castoff> i|D sorry in /usr/share/docs/
[11:57] <i|D> id@uNkn0wn:/usr/share/doc$ dir | grep socks
[11:57] <i|D> libfs6                           tsocks
[11:57] <BackPacker> vinnybinny: Hold on and I'll check my own scripts...
[11:57] <i|D> yes
[11:57] <Tucky> h3xis wl-153
[11:57] <i|D> its tsocks?
[11:58] <frederific> Tonren: what happens when you click I accept?
[11:58] <vinnybinny> BackPacker: k :)
[11:58] <Tonren> Jowi: I scroll down, hit "I Accept", and it loads the library's page.  For about 30 seconds, I can access websites and ping them.  After that, nothing works.  I can't ping, I can't load sites, I can't connect to XChat or Gaim or anything.
[11:58] <castoff> i|D not sure sorry i'm not at work
[11:58] <i|D> ok
[11:59] <castoff> i|D try man socks.conf
[11:59] <Moon_Rabbits> Is it possible for me to add a new folder type thing to the 'computer' place?
[11:59] <Jowi> Tonren, sounds more like a connection problem (or a driver one? not sure). do you have a proper signal to the network?
[11:59] <i|D> There is no entry to socks.conf
[11:59] <h3xis> Tucky, http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Sitecom/WL-153/SSH.htm
[11:59] <Tonren> Jowi: I'm on the network right now in Windows.  It's working flawlessly.
[11:59] <i|D> I tryed
[11:59] <Moon_Rabbits> I have Filesystem, but I would like to add another one for my other harddrive.
[11:59] <Snide> so nobody know how to access the trash folder?
[11:59] <Tonren> Jowi: When I connect using the command line - ifconfig, iwconfig and dhclient - I can see that it takes a long time to get an IP address, and when it does, a lot of duplicate packets get sent.
[11:59] <BackPacker> vinnybinny: Do you want to back up to another machine or to the same machine?
[11:59] <castoff> i|D hang on i'll install it
[11:59] <Tucky> h3xis ok il have a look at it, gimmy 2 mins
[11:59] <Moon_Rabbits> Snide: the trash folder is in the lower right corner of the screen
[11:59] <odi3> trash folder is bottom right corner of window isnt it?
